THE GRAND DUKE CONSTANTINE. The fete given on Thursday night at the Hotel do Ville to the Grand Duke Constantine was of a most brilliant description. its otject was not only , to pay a marked compliment to his Imperial High ness, but to give another proof of the princely mag nificence with which the city of Paris entertains its guests. The entertainment on the present occasion was of a dramatic character, consistinglof detached scenes from various operas, terminating with a variety of miscellaneous dancing. But what must have infinitely more struck the Imperial visitor was the splendour of the rooms and the exquisite taste which prevails in their ornamentation. Even the exterior of the building was a sight to gaze at, as line on line of gaslight ran, tier over tier, along its front, and even encircle 1 its quaint old pinnacles. With the blaze of illuminaf ion thus produced, the immediate neighbourhood of the Hotel de Ville was as bright as at noon of a sum mer's day, and every characteristic of the anti nt architecture was brought out curiously into relief. In front of the principal entrance was erected a temporary vestibule, at which the principal guests were to alight, the other visitors entering by the Cour du Pieftit. In that way, the more distin guished persons entered by the Cour Louis XIV., with its lovely fountain of living waters, whist the others passed the kill at the foot of the cascades, when proceeding to the grand staircase which leads to the state apartments. As the theatrical repre sentation took place in the Galerie des Fetes, the number of guests was of neces-ity re4ricted to the number which could find place in the temporary Salle de Theatre, and the invitations were, in con sequence, exceedingly difficult to be obtained, per haps not more than a thousand persons being pre sent. The various rooms thrown open were, as usual, fitted out with a profusion of flowers, shrub, statues, and giratidoles, a'l very artistically ar ranged, and with that delicate perception of effect which seems almost an instinct with the Parisian decorators. Thousands of waxlights set off the variegated draperies, rich carvings, and b autiful proportions of the several rooms ; but for once these admirable objects seem to have lost their attraction, as all the guests on arriving hurried at once to secure seats in the long gallery to view the performance. There was erected, at, the end, a temporary theatre, occu pying about one-third of the whole length, and separated from the public by a curtain of crim son silk, relieved with broad silver bands. All the proscenium was ornamented with crimson velvet draperies trimmed with gold, and heavy folds of the same rich material hung down the Fides and fell in masses on the stage. Immense corbeils of flowers and evergreens were placed at the sides in front of the orchestra and round the base of the adjoining pillars. The hall it self was divided into two part', one designed for the Grand Duke, h's party, and the more illus trious guests, and the remainder fir the persons in vited, with this distinction, however, that no one could obtain a seat there but lathes. The re sult was that not only was there a veritable parterre of female teauiy and elegance, but from the fact of every one wearing flowers in the hair', it a'inest secured a parterre iu the real floral sense of the word. The male portions of the audience contrived to place themselves at the sides beraysen the pillars, and behind in the distance ; but when the Grand Duke's party entered the mein he saw nothing before him but the charming sight of one of the tioest halls in Europe occupied throughout its whole length with ) oung and lovely women His Imperial Higline s arrived exactly at ten o'clock, five court carria g es having conveyed his party from the Tuileries. On alighting he was received by Baron Haussmann and the inernb:ass of the muni cipal connsil, and conducted Ly them to the Cour Louis XIV. The Prince seemed greatly struck by the admirable proportions of this beautiful ball, and exprssseil his adm ration to the Prefect. He paused at the foot of the famous horseshoe stair case, and again at the landing-place above; to re gard the lovely scene around, and then ascending entered the State apartments. His Imperial High ness was accompanied by the Grand Duchess of Baden and the Prince of .Nassau, and was attended by a numerous suite in uniform. Iminediately after the Imperial party entered the Galerie des Fetes, and having taken their seats, the perform ance commenced, It consisted of part of " Moise," with Mlles. Duasy, Olein, and Jourdan ; a scene of " Romeo et Juliette," with Mlles. de la Porome aye and Boularel ; portions of Psyche, with /vines. Lefebvre and Dupsty ; the finale of the 3d act of Ernani, the most successful, piece of the evening, by Mlles. Mossy, Faure, Jourdan, Crosti, and Buet ; portions of Armide, with Mine. Lanters, Mile. de la Pommeraye, and. Heger ; and a ballet; introduced as portion the entieemeutsof Annida's garden. The scenery throughout was admirable, but in the last piece it was particularly remarkable, the enchanted garden being a mass of flowers, with fountains of real gushing waters in terspersed. Mme. Rosati was the principal dansetise, and all the pas were charmingly executed. Just before the ballet concluded, precisely the same scene took place as had marked the theatrical performance given in the same place to the plenipotentiaries of pe ice. When the ladies composing the parterre found that the dancing was on the point of concluding, and that they could lose but litt:e by their absence, they, as if by one accord, rose fun their seats, and, with the aja earance of being greatly horrified at the sight before them prepared to quit the hall. But SO well had they timed their movement that the whole performance had concluded long before they had got half from the room. It was then past twelve o'c'ock and the Grand Duke and his party proceeded to partake of a splendidsupper prepard for them in the Salle du Trone. The other guests weresuoplied from buffets arranged over the double landing of tlie grand staircase leading to the Prefect's apart ments, and which had hen covered in for the pur pose. No one not acquainted with the locality could for a moment suppose that these two noble rooms, supported on lofty marble pillars down the centre, could be formed in ten minutes, by plac'ng down a temporary flooring, and that beneath was the staircase which the guests ascend at the Pre fect's Saturday receptions. The Grand Duke re mained until a quarter past one, and on departing expressed to Baron Haussmann the gratification which the evening had afforded him. The other guests had all departed by a little after two. REVIEW IN THE CHAMP DE MARS. The weather on Wednesday was magnificent for the erand review. The Parisians, who always love a military spectacle, were stirring betimes. Many went to take up a position in the environs of the Champ de Mars as early as seven in the morning, and waited patiently for hours before a single soldier made his appearance on the ground. During the why le morning a constant stream of people might be seen in every street marching with hurried steps towards the scene of action. By one o'clock Paris was visibly depopulated. All the world had gone to the Champ de Mars. Immense pains were taken to render this review worthy of the Grand Duke's at tention. The entire Imperial Guard was fur the first time arpenabled together. Besides the garrison of Paris, regiments were sent from Nancy, Com piegne, Meaux, Fontainebleau-, Melun,' Chartres, Chateaudun, Provins, Orleans, &c. • There must have been at least 50,000 men in line. The Champ de Mars would not hold them all, and several corps took up their stations in the environs and on and about the bridges. A very large proportion of this army consisted of seasoned troops, who have seen several years' service. Among them were the Ist, 3rd, 4th, and 7th Foot Chasseurs, and the 7th, 10th, 11th, 17th, 20th, 33rd, 46th, 47th, 50th, 56th, 66th, 7911, 95th, , 96th, and the 97th of the line, all of which regi ments were among the first to embark for the Crimea.. in 1854. Several regiments appeared for the first time in new uniforms. The infantry of the guard wore the garance trousers. Among the cavalry the Chasseurs a Ckeval de la, Garde, who are removed from Compeinge to Fontaine• bleau, excited great admiration. This magnificent regiment is mounted upon light grey Barbary entire horses, brought from Africa. Although m any of the troops are but just off long marches, they all appeared as cl ean an d smart as i f the; had had but just turned outof barracks for a re g imental parade. The Emperor l e ft th e Tuileries at past one, having the Grand Duke on his right hand and Prince Napoleon on hisleft. A n i mmense staff f„llowed, comprising Marshals 1' Pelissier, Kara zilaY . Bosquet, C anro b ert, several French generals, and very many Russian and other foreign officers ;, among whom was the famous Genf 1 Todtleben, and Generals Luders, Gortchakoff, Li_ prandi, and Dannenberg. I observed fire English uniforms in the suite. The Emperor's arrival o n the Champ de Mars from the Pont de Jena, was greeted with the usual acclamations. The army was too numerous for any ver y inspection,minute and too closely packed for ally manceuvres h . 11 . 1 s Majesty, followed by the Grand Duke at t e tance of half a neck behind him, passed along the leading lines of infantry, cavalry, and artiliery,and then the filin g p as t began without loss of time. This movement was ex e cuted by the troops in large masses and with extraordinary rapidity, under the command of Marshal Magnan.' Each regiment, its quarters filing past, marched off the ground to quarters ws.hout waiting for the Emperor. The review was over by five o'clock.

We have just learnt from Mr. Black, of Andrew, the old county seat of Jackson County, 25 miles south of Dubuque, the particulars of the hanging at that place by a mob on Saturday last, she 11th inst., of Eli Grifford, a half-breed. Grifford had murdered a . man named John Ingalls about the 28th of March. He was arrested and lodged in gaol at Andrew on the 31st March, and was taken from the gaol on Saturday last at about 2 o'clock p.m. by a mob of 24 of the citizens of the vicinity where the murder was perpetrated Iron-hill post-office, in the same county, and about 14 miles from Andrew. The gaol was entered by force, the door being open with a sledge-hammer. The gaoler made no resistance, nor called on the citizens for help to protect the prisoner or defend the gaol. The uncle of the murderer bad a few mo ments before ridden into town and warned the gaoler of the approach of the mob. The mob was headed by Jacob Landis, of Iron-hill, and on arriv ing in town proceeded at once to the gaol and as sailed the door with a heavy sledge-hammer. The door of the cell was a strong one, and did not yield until near 200 blows had been struck. There were four other prisoners in the gaol, who, with the as sistance of Grifford, barricaded the door. The pri soner, on finding himself in the power of the mob showed much alarm, and asserted, on being told it was their intyntion to hang him, that "if you hang me you king an innocent man." From the gaol the mob took Grifford to a tree just south of the school house, between that building and the cemetery, when a rope was put around his neck, and thrown over a limb projecting over the pathway. When Grifford found that the citizens were determined upon hanging him, and there was no probability of escape, he made a clean breast of it, confessing that he shot Ingalls on Friday, the 27th, in the woods, where his body was found. The weapon used was the rifle, and he approached his victim from behind to within 15 feet and shot him in the head, the ball passing through and lodging against the skull over the left eye. The skull in front was fractured, and the ball found to have split in two parts, or the gun must have contained more than one ball. At the time Ingalls, the murdered man, was walking with an axe upon his left shoulder, and on receiv ing the fatal ball fell upon his right side. A dog that was with him returned to the house the second day, alter having in the interval evidently nestled closely to his master's person. Grifford says that he was instigated to the murder and paid for doing it by his uncle, a man named Jarrett, and another named David M`Donald, neighbours of Ingalls. An old grudge existed between them, which had been fostered from time te time by hotife acts from boil parties. Ingalls had threa teue to burn Jarrett's house, and for this Ingalls had been arrested. Ingalls was a large and power ful man, and in personal encounters was too much for any of his opponents. For this he was doomed to dea.h, and the confederates, Jarrett, M‘Donald, and Grifford, determined that the deed should be done by the latter, the two former agreeing to pay him a certain sum and help him to leave the State. Griff_xcl is a native of Missouri, where his mother resides now. Grifford also confessed that he had attempted to kill two other persons in the same vicinity—one a man at whom he shot three times, and the other a woman. When told the fatal mo ment was approaching he acknowledged the justice of his puni.hment, but said his "uncle ought to suffer also." From 300 to 500 persons witnessed the ha oging. A pi ayer was offered up by aMe r hodist clergyrnan—the Rev. Mr. Babcock—the guilty wretch kneeling and crossing himself, the surround ing crowd standing in re3pectful sifeuce. Theme •.vas no disturbance, no tumult, and a legal execution could riot have pased off in a more orderly manner. No one attempted to interfere, the peeple of the county having come to tie conclusion that the mur derers cannot be punished if left to the due course of law. When the last moment arrived tt7e leader of the party tied a handkerchief over the eyes of Grif ford, who remained standing, and every man of the 24 took hold of the rope. At a signal they pulled up the rope together, suspending him in the air about 8 feet from the earth. His ir•ns had notbeen taken off, and his arms being pinioned there was but little strunding ashis guilty soul took its flight. His body was allowed to remain upon the gibbet treo fur something over an hour, when it was taken down and placed in a rude box, and interred in a field belonging to Dr. Cowden. During the whole of this time, and until the body was buried, the crowd remained upon thegroundsilently witnessing the various occurrences. As soon as the execution was over two men were despatched in pursuit of Jarrett, the uncle, and MADonald, his accomplice, and it is said to be the determination to hang them both, if taken. I\i'Dona!d has not been seen since the murder, but is supposed to ba secreted in the ne;ghbourhood. Jarrett left town before the arrival of the mob, or it is pro bable they would have made short work with him also. They are now in pursuit, and it will be strange if they are not scoa capture - J.—Dubuque Herald, April 24. THE OTHER SIDE OF THE _PICTURE. The following letter has been addressed to the editor 0: the Times : Sir,—ln your able leading article on the painful subject brought before the notice of the public by " I. R. 8.," you tell some wholesome truths on the side of the question relating to women. There is a side no less important re lating to men, on which I shall be thankful if you will allow me the opportunity of saying a few words. The laws which society imposes in the present day in respect of marriage upon young men belonging to the middle class are in the highest degree unnatural, and are the real cause of most of our social corruptions. The father of a family has iu many instances risen from a comparatively humble origin to a position of easy compe tence. His wife has her carriage; be associates with men of wealth greater than his own. His sons reach the age when, in the natural courso of things, they ought to marry and establish a home for themselves. It would seem no great hardship that a young couple should begin on the same level as their parents began, and be content for the first few years witu the mere necessaries of life ; and there are thousands who, were it rot for society, would gladly marry on such terms. But here the tyrant w6rld interposes ; tho ton must not marry until he can maintain an establishment on much the same footing as his father's. If he dare set the law at defiance his family lose caste, and he and his wife are quietly dropt out of the circle in which they have hitherto moved. All that society will allow is an engagement, and then we have the sad but familiar sight of two young lovers wearing out their best years with hearts sickened with hope long deferred ; often, after all, ending in disappointment, or in the shattered health of the poor girl, unable to bear up against the harassing anxiety-3 Or even when a long engagement dots finally end in marriage, how diminished are the chances of happiness! The union, which, if allowtd at first, would have proved• happy under worhtly difficulty, has lost its brightness when postponed until middle life, even with competence and a carriage. Perhaps the early struggles would have only strengthened the bonds of affection ; but here I feel that I am on dangerous ground. Already I hear society londly exclaiming that I am advocating im provident marriages, that I would flood the coun'ry with genteel ptateers, that I am advising what is contrary to the best. interests of society. But s'op awhile, society. Your picture of marriages at 35, with a Belgraviau house for the happy couple, a foot man in splendid uniform, and at least a brougham ' is very pleasing; but there is a reverse to the canvass, and that a very dark ones How has the bridegroom been living since he attained his manhood ? I believe that there are very many young men who are keeping themselves pure amid all the temptations of Loudon life. God's blessing be with them, for they are the salt of our corrupt city. But I know that there are thousaods who are living in sin, chiefly in consequence of the impossibility (as the world says) of their marrying. Some go quietly with the stream, and do as others do around them, almost without a thought of the misery they are causing and the curse they aro laying up for themselves. But many, perhaps most of them, are wretched under the conviction of their conscience. Living in the midst of temptation, they have not sufficient principle to resist its fascination, and although they know where God intends that they shall find their safety, yet they dale not offend their family, alienate their friends, and lose their social position by making what the world calls an impru dent marriage. The very feeling which Heaven has given as a chief purifier of man's nature is darkening their con science and hardening their heart, because the law of society contradicts the law of God. I might touch upon even a more terrible result of the present state of things— medical men and clergymen will understand what I mean, —hut I dare not, and I have said enough. I must in sadness confess ttat in the face of the power ful tyranny of social law in this country it, is difficult to suggest any general remedy for this evil. But the mis chief is on the increase with our increasing worship of money,. and public attention ought to be appealed to on the subject. if our American eulogist be right in commending " pluck" as one of oar distinctive charac teristics, it is not our young men who should lack the qnulity. If they will shake off the affectations of club life, and claim a position in society for themselves and for their wives, because they are qualified for is by edu cation and character, and not merely because they re present so much money, they will soon force the world to give way, and strike down one of the greatest hindrances to their own happiness, both temporal and eternal. It will not in general be difficult to bring tho daughters over to tho same opinion. Mothers and sisters are eeldom very hardhearted in such cases, and by united efforts the stein father may be induced to give his blessing, even though the happy couple (aye, happy, let tho world sneer as it will) have to begin ou little more than the pro verbial bread and cheese. The recognitioe of this principle would do much to check some of our most deadly social evils. It would make many a girl whom the tyranny of the world now dooms to a joy lesseerao our e affections, celib acy a h appy wife and mother. It would raise the t h o e n a e l th o f x of character ci o t h ofe hm you e c b t g i ou ni s e , whichn, de nied them, at the very time of life when their influence is most beneficial. It would drive away all frivolity and effeminacy before the realities of steady work, Which early marriage would cblige them to face. It would purify our streets, and check many a bitter pang of conscience, and save many a soul. We are experiencing -the hitter fruits of man's law—let us see whether God's law will not work better. I remain, sir, your obedient servant, London, May 6. THEOPHRASTUS.

The complainant continued—Having some idea that the defendant would pay me a visit at my chambers, I yester day afternoon stuck a piece of paper outside the door, say ino. that I had left for the day. I had a police constable in the' house at the time. After several hours I opened the door, upon which the defendant rushed in and immedi ately flew at me, and after severely pulling my heir and whiskers she tore nay waistcoat and shirt front.

Defendant—He has been living with me these last six years at Ivy Cottage, just over the bridge at Staines, and these last three months he has slighted me very much and has attempted to get rid of me without assigning any rea son for it. Mr. Ald. Hale—You see that it ig a matter with which the magistrate cannot deal here. You must not commit a breach of the peace. If you have any claim upon the com• plainant you must enforce it in a legal manner. Defendant—He promised me marriage. Complainant—l did not. Defendant—He lately wrote to me, telling me to come to town, and to meet him in Holborn. I accordingly came and he then took me to Mr. Lewis's office, and they wanted me to eign some paper, but I would have nothing to do with it. Mr. Lewis—The complainant desired to behave in the most handsome way possible towards the defendant, but she refused to listen to reason, and her demands were of so exorbitant a character that we could not entertain them. upon which she created a most disgraceful row, and brought a mob of 150 people in front of the house. I never felt so disgraced in my life. Mr. Aid. Hale—Defendant, will you promise not to go near the complainant? Defendant—Not if he will promise to allow me some thing. I was respectable and well off when I first became acquainted with him, and I wish to continue so. Mr. Ald. Hale—lf you will promise not to go near him again I will take your own recognisance, but if you will not make that promise I must call upon you to find sure ties to keep the peace. Defendant—l will promise not to go near him for the future, but he knows I am greatly in debt, and he surely ought to allow me something handsome, so that I may con duct myself iu a respectable way. Mr. Ald. Hale—We have nothing to do with that in this court, but if you think you have any claim upon him you had better consult a respectable solicitor.

He was informed by a butcher of the name of Nowbiggin that Pluckrose was in the habit of supplying him with meat surreptitiously obtained from his (Ur. Hick's) shop. Mr. Hicks set a policeman to watch, and discovered that the prisoners were in the habit of selling his meat to New biggin, but instead of having it weighed before it left the market, as was the custom, Pluckrose used to call the next morning and ascertain the weight.

In consequence of a subsequent communication from the prisoners, he proceeded to their house, with a view of arranging the dispute, accompanied by his wife and son and a married daughter, for whom the business bad been purchased. At the commencement of the nego tiations some angry words ensued between their respective wives, and witness was endeavouring to allay their irrita tion when the prisoner, Thos. Griffiths, suddenly attacked him, and after striking bins in the face with his fist, dealt him a terrible blow en the head with a heavy stick, which felled him to the ground. He remained for some time in a state of insensibility, and on recovering his conscious ness he found the defendants had been given into custody. Ann Trevelyan, the complainant's daughter, fully corro borated her father's evidence, and added that while he was prostrate on the ground the prisoner Griffith Griffiths emerged from the house with a poker, with which he ' struck him several violent blows on the head. Witness was endeavouring to protect her father from farther ill usage, when the prisoner turned fiercely upon her and struck her with the poker. Mr. Mears, the divisional surgeon of police, deposed to the injuries received, which in the case of Ann Trevelyan were of such a nature that she remained for some time in a state of danger. The prisoners, who reserved their :defence, were corn mitteil for trial, but the magistrates consented to accept substantial bail—themselves in 2001., and two sureties of 1001 —for their appearance at the Central Criminal Court. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—Thomas Jordan, a well known pickpocket, was . charged with attempting to pick pockets in Regent-street. Detective Joy, 338 A, said he was in Regent-street about nine o'clock at night, watching a crowd that had assembled. He saw the prisoner attempt to pick the pockets of several persons, but before he could lay hold of him he managed to get away. While looking about he suddenly felt a hand in his own pocket. He seized his hand, and found it belonged to the prisoner. Mr. Bingham said he should send the prisoner to hard labour for three months. SOUTHWARIL—EIIen Stevens, a middle aged, well dressed female, the wife of a respectable mecbauic, was brought before Mr. Burcham charged with being drunk and incapable in High-street. She was also charged with making a most determined attempted to strangle herself with her gaiter in the police cell at the rear of the station house. Police-constable 130 M, said he was on duty in High street, Borough, about seven o'clock on the previous even ing, when he saw the prisoner lying on the pavement in sensibly drunk, and with the assistance of another ocficer he conveyed her to the station-house. The prisoner was a respectable woman, and it was the first time she had been in ccatody. Mr. Burcham discharged her for that offence, when Sergeant Turpin, 5 M, stated that after the prisoner had been locked up some time, his attention was called to the cell, when he saw her lying on the floor insensible and quite black in the face. She had tightly fastened one of her garters round her neck in a very determined manner. Witness immediately cut it, and procured the assistance of Mr. Walter Hurst, a neighbouring surgeon, who, after considerable difficulty, restored aeinnation. The latter gentleman informed him that, had witness been a second later, the vital spark would have fled. The prisoner said she was vary sorry for what had oc curred. It was the first time she had ever been tipsy, and she did not know what happened. The husband hero stepped forward and said his wife was a very steady female, and he never knew her to have been drunk before, and lie could assure his worship that it was the first time she had made an attempt on her life. Mr. Burcham asked him whether ho would be answer able for her future conduct? He replied that he would, as he was positive she would never make such another at tempt. Mr. Burcham accordingly ordered her to be discharged. Mr. Vivian Hughes, gentleman, of 36, Bedford-place, Sonthwark-bridge-road, and Air. James Wilson, gentle man, of 31, Orchard-street, Portman-square, were charged with committing an assault upon Mr. Henry Young, the treasurer of the Victoria Theatre, at the stage entrance. After the performance on the previous night, as the trea surer was leaving the stage with his daughter, thirteen years of age, he received information that the prisoners were behind the scenes, a liberty not allowed to any stranger. Witness returned, and saw both prisoners lounging about. He told them that he was the treasurer of the theatre, and that they bad no business there, at the same time requesting them to leave the theatre. They re fused to do so, and said they were waiting for Mr. Itickards, one of the actors. He again told them they had no busi ness behind the scenes, and that their conduct was highly improper. when they both became very violent and refused to go. He, however, got them as far as the stage entrance , when Hughesstruck him on the head with a walking stick, and the other prisoner struck him behind with his fists. A constable came up, when he gave them both into custotly. Mr. Burcham told them he should fine Hughes 405., and 6s. for the damage to Mr. Young's hat, and Wilson 403., or one months' iu,prisonment. The fines were paid. THE INFLUENCE OF A SUIT OF CLOTHES.—A refractory patient at Colney-hatch was in the habit of tearing his clothes into shreds. Mr. Tyerman, one of the medical officers, ordered him to be dressed in a bran new suit. The peer man, a tailor by trade, either from a profes sional appreciation of the value of his new habiliments, or from being touched by this attention, respected their integrity, and from that moment rapidly recovered. Be fore leaving the asylum be stated that he owed his cure to the good effect produced upon his mind by being in trusted with this new suit of clothes.—Quarterly Review [ADVERTISEMENT.) —The following extraordinary cures with out medicine of indigestion.

DE LESSEPS AND THE SUEZ SHIP CANAL Oa Wednesday a special meeting of the directors of the Manchester Commercial Association was held for the pur pose of hearing the statements of M. Ferdinand de Les seps, as to the project for a ship canal across the Isthmus of Suez, and to elicit an opinion from that influential body as to the advantages of the undertaking to the commercial interests of England. M. J. A. Turner, M.P., the Presi dent, occupied the chair. M. DE LESSEPS was introduced by Mr. C. L. Henny, the secretary of the company, and Mr. D. A. Lange, of London, but explained ,that his want of fluency in the English language would compel him to make his statements through Mr. Lange. That gentleman accordingly gave a brief sketch of the enterprise, especially as to the commercial and financial aspect. He referred to the tendency of recent improve ments in ship-bui'ding, to diminish the draughts of vessels, while their tonnage in proportion was increased. In sup port of his remarks, he adduced the testimony of several eminent engineers, especially Mr. Laird, of Birkenhead, the most extensive shipbuilder in Great Britain. On this high authority, Mr. Lange informed the meeting that screw vessels of 2,500 tons were now constructed capable of superior speed to those of former models, and drawing only 18 feet of water. It was considered that this draught would be sufficient to fulfil, in the majority of cases, all present requirements as to the merchant service in any part of the world. Facts took the same direction as re garded ships of war. Formerly an 80-gun ship of 3,000 tons used to draw 27 feet of water ; whereas a 50-gun fri gate of 3,400 tons was now being constructed not to ex ceed 24 feet draught. The depth intended to be given to the canal, viz., 26 feet, would therefore always be suffi cient, and there would be no necessity for subsequently increasing it. With regard to the saving of distance in the case of vessels trading with the East, the distence by the Cape of Ceylon was 14,000 miles, while by the Suez route it was only 7,000. The calculations of the returns of the canal had been based chiefly on the steam traffic, including vessels fitted with auxiliary screws. As the proportion of vessels employing steam was yearly increasing, a margin was left for future improvement on this score, in the finances of the undertaking. The Board of Trade returns showed that in one year the total tonnage of sailing vessels registered amounted to 4,00u,000 tons, that of steamers being 300,000 tons ; whereas in the came year the total tonnage of sailing vessels constructed was 130,000, and that of steamers 64,000, showing an important advance in favour of steam-vessels. As to the comparative security of the Red Sea for navigation, every day tended to prove that former unfavourable notions arose from ignorance or pre judice. The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Company had on the commencement, under these misapprehensions, paid large sums for insurances, but this was found on experi ence to be superfluous, and the amount formerly set apart for such contingencies was now distributed among the shareholders. Several questions were then put to M. de Lesseps, as to certain conditions of the concession, and the rate of toll to be levied by the company. The PRESIDENT then informed M. de Lesseps that the board considered themselves sufficiently made acquainted with the scheme, all the explanations being most clear and straightforward ; and they would now deliberate in private. The resolution, which was received by M. de Lesseps in the course of the same day, is given below, with the letter enclosing it. Moved by Mr. MURRAY GLADSTONE, seconded by tr. J. VENDER, and resolved unanimously :—" That this as sociation being desirous of encouraging every movement having for its object the promotion of commerce through out the - world, has heard with ,nuch interest the state ments with which the board bas been favoured by M. de Lesseps, relative to a ship canal to connect the Mediter ranean and Ited . Seas ; and, provided that effectual means be taken to secure the neutrality of such canal, as well as a moderate rate of charge, such as shall give every pos sible encouragement to the transit of merchant vessels, will view with much satisfaction the realisation of so im portant an undertakine,.." The letter was as follows : " Manchester Commercial Association, May G. "Sir,—On behalf the directors of this association I have the honour to convey to you the expression of their best thanks for the very interesting information so oblig ingly afforded them by you this morning relative to your project for the construction of a ship canal across the isthmus of Suez, and I beg further to transmit the an nexed copy of a resolution unanimously passed by this board with reference thereto.—l - have the honour to b; sir, your most obedient servant, " HUGH FLEMING, Sec. " To M. F. do Losseps, &c." INVENTORS' MUSEUM AT SOUTH KENSINOTON. In our number for Jau. 21, we announced the estab• lishruent of an Inventor's Museum and Library at Ken sington. On Saturday last' we visited tha building to observe what progress had been made, and were pleased to find that the Museum is fast approaching compleion and that a considerable number of excellent models have been received for exhibition. The library will not, we suspect, be extended beyond the official publications of the Commissioners of patents—indexes, specifications, &c. The works of reference accumulated for the patent library will, of course, be retained at the chief library, Southamp ton•buildings, as it would he impossible for men of busi ness to journey to Kensington whenever they had to make a search, or consult a volume. The Museum will however, be extended to any nece , sary magnitude, as it will not be required to answer the same purpose of frequent and immediate reference as the library. We are gratified to observe that Mr. Woodcroft is very wisely endeavouring to bring together in this Museum models classified and arranged in such manner as to tell the historical tale of the gradual improvement of each branch of practical art and manufacture. When this is once accomplished it will be comparatively easy to keep up the system, and thus to preserve in the country a simple and en during record of its industrial progress. Too much praise cannot be given to Mr. Woodcroft for his efforts in this direction, and we trust that manufacturers and inventors will heart;ly co-operate with him in effecting his object. We shall defer publishing an account of the models exhibited at Kensington until the Museum is opon to the public; we may, honever, state that the centrsl object is tile actual steam engine trestored by J. Ponn and Co.) which Symington applied first to ' s h e populsion of a vessel. Of this engine, which ha , :, been searched after and found by Mr. Woodcroft, we shall give an historical and descriptive account 4 .11 an early number.—Mechanics' Magazine.

On assembling at the post Loyola and South Western broke away and ran to the Castle pole before they were stopped. South Western ran up the embank ment among the people, and his rider broke his stirrup leather. After several ineffectual attempts the flags were lowered, and Loyola jumped off with a lend of about half-a dozen lengths, Sir Colin, Commotion, and Special Licence being side by side in his wake, with Cumberland, Church Langton, and Wardermarske in close attendance upon them. On passing the judge's chair Glede Hawk struck into South Western and his rider, in his endeavour to keep him from falling, was unseated, std came heavily to the ground. Fortunately, Glede Hawke was lying last at the timeand Osborne was speedily removed from the course and carried into the stand. On entering the Dee side Commotion took second place, and soon after wards Sir Colin dropped back, Special Licence going on third and Cumberland fourth. As they neared the T. Y, C. post Strathnaver went up to Commo tion, and here Loyola was joined by the riderless Glede Hawk. On rounding Grosvenor-bridge-turn Commotion and Strathnaver were at Loyola's quarters, and as they came round the bend Strathnaver took second place. Loyola here held his lead until reaching the distance, when be was beaten, and Strathnaver took up the run ning, followed by Commotion and Wardermarske, Glede Hawk still running side by side with them. As they approached the stand Wardermarske headed Commotion, and running in with Glede Hawk, who was close in his track, could not quite get up to Strathnaver, who won by half a length, Glede Hawk passing the poet just in advance of him. Commotion was beaten two lengths from the second, and Loyola three lengths from Com motion. Church Langt,n and South Western finished several lengths behind Loyola, Sir Colin was next, and Cumberland and Special License were beaten off a long nay ; Osborne was much bruised by his fall. but no seriously injured.

The great aquatic event on the tapis is the expected race between Messenger and Kelly for the Cham pionship of the Thames and 4001. The stakes have been completed ; and at a meeting held on Wednesday night, at Mr- Salter's, the Feathers Tavern, Wandsworth, urn- Pl:es were duly chosen on either side. The present wilder of the championship —Messenger—is a waterline at Teddington ; his opponent in the present match fol lows the same occupation at Fulham. Both of them are fine young men, very evenly matched in weight. Mes senger is avowedly a moat finished sculler, his style being the very Ile plus ultra of perfection ; but Kelly is ‘lightly the favourite. The distance over which they are t coctend is from Putney to the Ship, at Mortlake, and the time, Tuesday afternoon next, at about 4 o'clock. Messrs. Searle have chartered a fast steamer for the conveyance of the elite of the Thames. Mr. R. Main hag also chartered the Citizen K steamboat. He ha; like wise just finished a beautiful set of sculls for Kelly's use on the occasion. They are on the same principle as those made by Mr. Bain for Kelly when he beat Buttle at Norwich. Messenger is training at Biffen's, at Ham mersmith ; Kelly at Salter's, Wandsworth. Bith men are in very fine condition. ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB. The schooner races of this distinguished club are to take place on Friday, the 19[1 of June, instead of Satur day, the 20th, as previously arranged, owing to the im possibility of procuring a steamer on the latter day suffi ciently large for the requirements of the club. The race will terminate at Greenhithe instead of Rosherville. PRICES OF SHARES.

THURSDAY AFTERNOON; Yesterday aft reoon sir funerals were desryttchod from the nception-shel at Lundhill, and a most mouthful sceuo they presented. Four started at short intervals to Dar field church, pr.], which is situated at a distance of two miles, consist jog of a number of the relatives and fl ionds of the deceased, a. well as a largo number of spectators, and the whole formed a scene that will not easily be forgot ._ ten. The first hearse contained the remains of Jas. Hunt and Wm. Smith, who were followed by their respective re latives, while the bodies of seven more of the unfortunate victims followed in three seprete funerals. A large number of persons assembled round the general grave at Derfield, many of whom seemed much affected while the funeral ceremony was being read by Messrs. Meggison and Med calf°. The-bodies of John Frost and Thomas Logan were interred at Wath and West Melton. Up to yesterday at 5 o'clock 42 bogies bad been re coverel, and sinee that time up to this afternoon seven more have been brought out, making a total of 49, or about one-fourth of the number killed. Two who were brought out a little alcr 6 o'clock last evening were found in the second board in the south level, and identified as Joseph Smith, of Lundbill, aged 53, and his son, John Smith, aged 19. Between S and 9 o'clock the men employed in the relay of which Mr. - Webster had the superintendence f rund three mare bodies, but they were in such a state as to wholly defy recognition. They were foun I in the second board gate on the south side, where the blast seemed to have been of the most terrific character—more so, it was thought, than in any other part of the pit. The brattice board and sheeting were blown to atoms and scattered in every direc tion; and this in some way accounted for these bodies being so ouch mutilated. They were, however, believed, judging Loom the working places in which they were found, and front their general appearance, to be these of George Shepherd, of Lundliill, aged 29 ; James Wilkinson, of Wigan, aged 22, and that of a hurrier. • About midnight a body which was identified as that of James Tatter , all, of West Melton, aged 19, was discovered in the first boardgate on the south side; and this morning, a little after 8 o'clock, another corpse, which proved to be that of Samuel Parkinson, of Wombwell, aged 21, was brought out. The latter was identified by means of a silver snuff-box which was found in his pocket. One of the bodies which has been interred without being identified was yesterday found to he that of John Halliday, of Lundhill, aged 29, it having been identified by the boots which had been kept in the shed and about which there were some particular marks. The voluuteers, many of whom have relatives in the pit are working with unflagging energy, although the work is of a most hazardous nature, and the effluvium from the numerous corpses entombed is offensive in the extreme. Great credit is due to Sergeant Merrick and Police-con stable Latham, to whom are entrusted the unpleasant task of showing the bodies, for the manner in which they nave discharged the painful duty devolving upon them—a duty not altogether free from danger considering the effluvium arising from the bodies close to which they are constantly stations:).
