Th ; THE GREAT , GLOBE. ko n l 4 a d ecidedly one of the most attractive and kidit llB truetive of the exhibitions of the day. In our l on to its standard merits, with which most of ,Nt e ' x' r ea ,.ders are no doubt well acquainted, the the folks yesterday were further gratified with tabigteat diorama of Russia, and a new series of tal,4,ux illustrating a tour from Blackwall to Pict i ; l4 ` 7 a. Both contain some really beautiful whi ff s, not Jess remarkable for the skill with Ithi they are executed than the fidelity with to r e " . t heY represent the various towns and cities l'ap„ (111t e) even to their most minute details. ,We iti'.' Yet seen no dioramas which can compete AoriTterest with the series of views which 444‘ 4 4 3: the a t tac k upon th e Aland I s l an d s, 1 :41 the spectator down the 'Danube, Iv') they shores of the Black Sea to the Crimea, th eay.t; e toey conclude with a lovely panting to °t hill of Ca theatitta bY moonlight. For those who wish te a thoroughly good general idea of . qual, r e of ,the late war, we can most conscien t i D„ br recommend diorama to the notice of be l e. The brief deScriptive matter which is de- livered during the progress is clear and to the point, and gives all necessary information without tres paping too long upon the patience of the audience or doing anything but interest still further in the subject before them. The diorama of Russia intro duces some novel scenic effects, which are managed with great art. The most striking in this series are the views of Nijni Novogorod during the fair, Mos cow, and the Ural mountain, which of themselves are sufficiently interesting to well repay a visit, The Great Globe is now applied to illustrating the recent discoveries of Dr. Livingston in Southern Africa, on the model of which the whole course of bis long wanderings is minutely traced. The route of the proposed. Euphrates Valley Railway, the lo calities of the wars at Canton and Bnsbire, the line of the intended Atlantic submarine cable, and the course and influence of the Gulf Stream, are also delineated with the utmost precision, and form the basis of a most interesting explanatory lecture, which, with the aid of the Great Globe, is perfectly clear and comprehensible, even to children or the least informed upon such matters. The room de voted to Crimean , trophies contains the best and most complete series of relics of the late war which we have yet seen. Some recent and important ad ditions have also been made to the waxwork figures. Upwards of 4,000 people visited the exhi bition in the course of yesterday. We can recom mend it to the notice of our readers as one of the most varied and entertaining places of rational amusement to be found in the metropolis. CANTERBURY HALL. This popularplace of amusement came in for, at least, its full share of public patronage. The spirited proprietor made every possible exertion to insure the gratification of his visitors, and assuredly he had his reward. The ample Hall was crowded to suffocation, and yet so admirable were the ar rangements that but little if any inconvenience was sustained. Every order was promptly and satisfac-: torily answ-tred. The performers shared in thp general exbiliration and exerted all their energies to please the appreciating audience, who, by enthu-, siastic applause, showed how , fully they were satiti fied with the enteecoinment. Were it not invidi ous to allude particularly to one, where all did well ? we should notice the brilliant efforts of Ma claine Marietta, who was in excellent voice, and . . received the most unequivocal proofs of the' effect- produced on her delighted hearers. BURFORD'S PANORAMAS OF ST. PETERS- BURG AND MOSCOW. This well known placa of popular resort in holi day times maintains its high character for admir able scenic'portraiture. It po-sesses new panoramic views of singular beauty and interest—one of St. Petersburg, the other at Moscow. The viev; of Moscow seemed to attract the chief interest of the visitors yesterday. The whole effect is exceedingly fine. Taking it altogether, it is cer tainly a most picturesque and interesting city. Great prominence is, of course, given to the Impe rial procession on the occasion of the late corona tion of the Czar, and the gorgeous uniforms and State officials introduced add greatly to the bril liancy of the scene. These panoramas cannot fail to attract numerous holiday visitors. DR. KAHN'S MUSEUM. In addition to the peculiar features of this exhi bition, in which a high degree of excellence has been attained, the numerous anatomical models being perfect specimens of their kind, a series of lectures are now being delivered daily by Dr. Sexton, on one of the vexed questions of the day— ". Is smoking injurious ?" Dr. Sexton contends that the moderate me of tobacco neither injures the body nor clouds the intellect, and that most of the statements made by the opponents of smoking are gross exaggerations or hideous caricatures. The lectures contain a happy combination of scientific knowledge, pleasantry, logic, and humour, and are eloquently delivered. BANQUET AT THE MANSION-BOUSE. The Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress, with their accustomed hospitality, gave a splendid entertain ment last evening at the Mansion-house. Coverd were laid in the Egyptian-hall, for 300, and the dinner was served by Messrs. Ring and Brymer. Among those honoured with invitations were : His Highness Mirza Wallee Ahed Bahadoor, his Highness Mirza Secmidar Heeshmul Bahadoor, the Prince of Scinde ; Meer Ali Moorad Jolseood Dow lah Bahadoor, Musee Odeen Bahadoor,. 'Mirza Mahomet Alee Khan, Rajah of Coorg ; Viscount and Viscountess Bury, Admiral Collier, Baron Chan nell, Hon. Mr. Spencer and Lady Louisa Spencer, Hon. Mr. and Mrs. Craven, Col. Ridley, Sir F. Currie, Bart., Deputy _Chairman of the East India Company ; Col. Robertson and the Hon. Mrs. Trotter, eon. Capt. Wellesley, R.N., STC. &c. After the usual loyal toasts were drunk with en thusiasm, The LORD MAYOR gave the toast of the Army and the Navy, Col. Ridley responding on behalf of the former. The next toast was the health of the Prince of Oude and the other Princes of India who had hon oured the . civic entertainmnnt with their presence. (Applause.) _ _ _ _ Major BIRD, in returning thanks for the Prince of Oude, said—Their Royal Highnesses the Princes of Oude have directed me to thank you, on behalf of themselves and of the other princes of India, in earnest terms for the high honour you have done them, my Lord Mayor, by the invitation you have given them, and the reception which has been accorded to them by this company. Their Royal Highnesses labour under great disadvantages from having to make use of me as the medium of communication in speaking their sentiments. Most warmly do the Princes of Oude wish that they were able to respond in suitable terms to the kindly feel ings which you have all evinced t swards them. (Hear, hear.) We must all feel that a new era is dawning upon India, heralded by the appearance among us of men of Royal descent. (Cheers.) What they have heard afar of the wealth, the power, and the onward progress of this magnificent country they have come them , elves personally to realise. (Cheers.) The cloud which has been so long over India has at last passed away. British efforts have been hitherto especially directed towards the civi lisation of the poorer classes, but the princes and nobles of the' land have remained stationary. (Hear, hear.) Having now arrived on these shores, these Indian Princes can see with their own eyes the might and power of the British army ; the mag nitude of our navy ; the restless energy of our merchants ; but, above all, they must perceive that there is in existence in this country a great moral law which guiles the launching of, the thunder bolts of war, supports the integrity and proud name of our merchants, and holds with firm hand the scales of equity and justice, and which gives to the poor man the same status in right and wrong as that which is held by the highest in the land. These are not small things to learn, and will not fail to be of advantage to the illustricais Princes who have visited us. As an instance of the observant character of the Princes of Oude,.l may state that a few days since some of the suite of the Prince of Oude were discussing the great wealth and the great power of the British nation, and one of them 'remarked, " What is the wonder? Nothing is thrown away. Their dry bones live again, as the fertilising•me dium, in the fields : the rags of the nation pro duce paper, upon which they impress and record their highest sentiments." If such circumstances can be brought into their minds, what may not be learned in the future? We have all heard of tilt visit of the Queen of Sheba to King Solomon. In that case there was a virtual recognition of henefits conferred, and we all know that when the, time of parting came, it is expressly recorded that the queen lv-ent back to her country, having obtained the full desire of her heart. (Laughter.) I trust that you will all concur with me in hoping that their Royal Highnesses of Oude, who are now among may be equally successful in the object of their visit. (Cheers.) Mr. Justice CHANNEL returned thanks en behalf of " The Judges of England ;" and Lord Bury spoke to the toast of " The .House of Commons," with which his name was associated. Mr. CRAWFORD, M.P., gave "The health of the Lord Mayor," which having been appropriately responded to, The ic City Members" was next p ropose d , and drunk with great cordiality. Sir JAMES DUKE, M.P., replied, and in the course of his acknowledgment of the honour stated that the Government of . Lord Palmerst on s h ould have his support only while he deserved by his measures the confidence of the people of England. (Cheers.) " Prosperity to the East India Company" Was responded to by Sir Frederick Currie ; and Mr.' Alderman Moon spoke to the toast of "the Magia_ trates of the City. of London:" Lord BURY then proposed the "Health of 'the Lady Mayoress," which was very, enthusiastically received ; and the toast of " The Corporafon and Sheriffs of the City of London," was appropriately acknowledged by Mr. Sheriff Mechi and Mr. Sheriff Keats. After some other toasts the company retired to the reception and drawing rooms, where a musical entertainment, under the direction of Mr. Boles, assisted by Mr. Gilbert, Mr. Thomas, Mr. Wilby Cooper, Mr. Seymour, and Mr. Lawler gave general satisfaction. The performance on the concertina of Mr. Perceval Watts pupil of Signor Regondi, was also very much admired. At the banquet Mr. Harker officiated as toast master with his usual zeal and effect. rt-IE SUN, LONDON, 1 VI ONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLoci. 3 2;1! Lette:s from Liverpool state thatthe Cotton Mar ket yesterday closed quietly, and prices of all kinds were unchanged from those current last Thursday. The sales were 6,000 bales. The Railway Share Market was steady at an advance upon last Thurs day's currency. The Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets - open with a quiet appearance, but it is too early yet to predict what course the quotations will take. There seems at present little disposition to operate be yond immediate requirements. At the same time, however, numerous sales are advertised; which leads to the inference that an expectation exist's of a good speculative and export demand. The follow ing remarks on the Tallow trade are from Messrs., Smith and Charles'. circular, dated last evening:— " In the course of last week a considerable quan tity of tallow, probably about 3,000 tons, was de livered off on contracts fir April, and April to June. The demand from the trade having im proved, receivers of this tallow have not pressed it forward for sale, and we have consequently had_an improved tone in the market, and prices have re a6ted about ls. per cwt. all round. Business has n t been active to-day, nevertheless prices are fully St. St. St. 50 20 10 10 50 supported." Favourable accounts have been received from India relative to the money markets both ,at Cal cutta and Bombay, and the commercial advices also report an improvement in the import trade.; The rates of, exchange on England, however, bold Out no hope of ,there being any diminution of the flow of silver from this side. We shall continue, therefOre, to suffer ,that inconvenience, and unleiS tfie fiupplies of this metal greatly increase the drain of gold to the 'continent will remain! unchecked. Notwithstanding the amelioration reported in, the E , stern money Markets, however, the. 5 per cent. Goverhment loan was still unsuccessful, and it is no'w 'hinted that its negation may be attempted here. Another cause foriiheasiness•may thus be created, for - there can be no doubt that the money required, with the 5 per cent. guaranteed interest, could soon be raised in this market., • despite the current rate of discount, and .the cau tion which ought to be observed. Accounts from Paris mention that the question of an increase in the capital of the Bank of France is again being discussed. The present amount is merely 3,650,0001., and this is found to be inade quate to the wants of trade, and. 'the functions which the establishnient is called upon- to per.Torha. This rumour has been periodically revived, and there is consequently a disposition to pay little attention to the statements now circulated. At the meeting of the proprietors of the Bank of England to -day, Sheffield Neave, Esq., and 11Onamy Dobree, Esq., were chosen—the first Governor, and. the second Deputy-Governor, for the ensuing year. 50 16i 161 i St. St. 50 St. St. Thera was a, meeting of the Acadian Iron Com pany to-day.

A further sum of 50,0001. in Australian gold Was sold to the Bank yesterday. 20 20 10 St. • The demand for discount accommodation is much greater, but the full rate of 6 per cent..is charged for the negotiation of first Class paper. The Funds have • been/ rather depressed to-day, owing to a resumption of spectlative sales. The prospect of the drain of the precious metals continu jag may partially account for this, but' there* is really no cause why prices should now recede when a slight degree of relief is felt in the Money Mar ket.

THE MARINERS' DEEP SEA TRAWL NET. Some objections having been made at Great Yarmouth, with reference to the shifting curtain of the deep sea trawl net, that the moveable floats were liable to get foul by acci• dent, and thereby prevent the mouth of the bag net being left open for capture, Mr. Dempster has now made such limprovement on that part of the apparatus that the floats must rise up by the action of the water, there w o impedimen tunders t and , to willprevent b e patented t h em immediately Thi s m 1 ro v b e y . bmoeneienngtof n the fishing companies lately established.

THE LATE ACCIDENT IN LITTLE RUSSELL -PLACE. Yesterday afternoon, at 4 o'clock, Mr.' Bedford; tile coroner, opened an inquiry in the board-room of di'ng's College Hospital into, the cause of the death 'of Maurice. Fitzgibbon, aged 47, a brick layer's lal - A)urer, who was killed, owing to the falling of certain buildings in Little Rusadi-place, Bow'. street,• on the morning of Good Friday, on which occasion several other persons were injured. Mr. W. H. Aus;in, of St. Martin's-lane, attended io watch the case on the part of the widow of the' deceased. The jury having IKen sworn, and viewed the body, and evidence of the identity of the deceased having been g i ven , John Manley, of May's-buildings, S. Martin's lane, plasterer, depbsed that he lodged with the deceased ; was at work with him at the time of the accident in Russell-place. The deceased was at the time clearing the bricks of a parti-wall about two feet' high, between the house pulled down in Russell plaCe and a house in Bow-stri-e'. Madden, now in the hospital, was picking the bricks down from the wall at the time. Witness and another man, and She9n , the labourer, at th e t ime o f t h e acci dent, were engaged in cementing over a wall on the right-hand side, about 50 feet from where the deceased was - at work. Witness had occasion to leave fur a .hoe: time, when he heard a noise like the report of a cannon, accompanied with a quan tity of dust, but did not see the wall fall. Th e wall that fell was one that he had been at work at. He was not absent morn than two minutes. Had been engaged in cementing the wall for about five or six days. ....Was employed by Mr. Howes, a builder, who acted under Mr. Parker, the surveyor to the Doke of Bedford.. During the time he was at work he believed the: wall to have been a sound t one. On the other side of the wall there was a ro , f, some 'stabling, and buildings. After the wall fell he assisted in removing the deceased from the rubbish. He wst covered by about 4 feet of brick work and rubbish. He. Was quite dead, and was removed by the: p01ice.. .. . . By a Jnicor---It was- t an old wall. The cement put on the wall was thin, to put, a fair appearance upon ,it.. The wall was - froni' 28. to 30 feet high,; it. might be 14 inches Wide at the bot tom, and nine at the top. There • bad been a , girder in the wall which had been taken out, which was filled up . with briaks, cenienti and sand. Be considered. that a tie_,__wluch was put in, would make the wall as strong as before. By the Coroner, at the,request of Mr. Austin.... When-the wall fell the bricks , appeared to be very bad, but he never heard any complaint. The wall fell between 10 and 11 o'clock. Mr. Way, house-surgeon, proved that the de ceased was dead when brought to the hospital, but he could not state the immediate cause of death without a post mortem examination. Mr. Charles Parker, of 75, Great Russell street, Bloomsbury, surveyor to the Duke of Bedford, de posed to the nature and the position of the pre mises. There were eight houses ordered to be pulled down. Seven belonged to the Duke of Bed ford, and the other belonged to Mr. Jennings. The five houses pulled down belonged to the Duke of Bedford. He gave the care of the pulling down to Mr. Howes, previous to 1852. When they came into his possession they had been inhabited by prostitutes, and, with a view of get ting rid of the nuisance, several hundreds of pounds were laid out in repairing them, making water-closets, and other conveniences, so as to thin a better class of inhabitants ; but in the early part of 1856 it was found that they were again inhabited by prostitutes of the lowest description —in fact it appeared as if the place was formed for such inhabitants ; steps were taken to get rid of them ; and possession being obtained both entrances were blocked up at Lady-day, 1856, with the in tention of pulling the houses down, and Mr. Howes was instructed to s do so, but there appeared no hurry to pull them down. He visited the premises on Monday last, but he did not observe that the wall that had fallen was dangerous. He had since met with an accident by falling through an arch, but was unable to give any reason at present as to the cause of the accident. No inspection or sur vey had yet been made with a view to ascertain the origin of the accident, but most cercaiuly it would take place. After some further evidence, the jury being de sirous to inspect the premises, the inquiry was ad journed, and a post mortar?, examination was' ordered. THE BISHOPRIO OF Nonwies.—An intimation has been received in Norwich that the Hon. and Rev. J. T. Pelham will succeed the Rev. Dr. Hinds in the bishopric of the diocese. The uncertainty which has hitherto prevailed on the subject is 'how considered at an end. Mr. Kitson, of Norwich,. still continue to act as secretary. BURGLARY. IN. THE CITY.--- r Ypsterday inforn)atiork was received that on Sunday night some burglars had effected an entry into the premises of Mr. Louis Silberberg, im porter of foreign cigars, St. Martin's-le-Grand, and pos sessed themselves of upwards of 250 - bundles of cigars, of the value of 3001., and got clear off with their booty. COLOGNE CHORAL UNION.—We are glad to perceive by an advertisement in our columns that the musical world of London will again be gratified and enchanted by the exquisite vocal performancis of the unequalled Cologne Singers, who will re-visit the country under the auspices of Mr. Mitchell, in the month of May next. Our readers cannot have forgotten the excitement pro duced by them in the year 1853 and 1854, at the Hano ver-square Rooms. Their concerts will, on the forth coming occasion, be given in the same locality. GREENWICH-PARK.--For the first time for many year past Easter Monday passed off without a fair at Green wich. The orders which were recently issued upon the subject were imperative, and nothing in the shape of a booth or show was to be seen. On Good Friday largo numbers of people went to Greenwich for the purpose of having a stroll in the park, but the fun of One Tree Hill failed to tempt any considerable quantity of people yesterday, especially as it rained a good deal in the ramming and the weather was very cold. FINSBURY ELECTION.-DINNER TO SERGEANT PARRY. —Some 200 of that portion of the electors of Finsbury who supported Mr. Sergeant Parry in the late election assembled yesterday, at the Freemasons' Tavern, as the hosts at a dinner given by them to their favourite but unsuccessful candidate. Mr. Tyler, by whom Sergeant Parry had been proposed at . the hustings, presided, who, in proposing the health of the honoured guest of the evening, said he regarded him as virtually the elected member for Finsbury. (Hear, hear.) The sentiment was heartily responded to. When the cheering bad in some degree subsided, Mr. Sergeant Parry returned thanks and said, that in the recent struggle in which he had been engaged in Finsbury —a struggle the most severe in which he had ever been engaged during - a long life of struggles—the greatest consolation he had was that he had not lost a single friend, but bad gained thou. sands. (Cheers) No doubt be was the defeated can didate ; but though defeated, he might say in the lan guage of Edmund Burke, "I know lain not dishonoured, and I feel lam not disheartened." Having alluded the late election the learned gentleman said he should have great pleasure in again corning forward to contest the borough. on the first opportunity. Neglect of regis. tration he said was the cause of his defeat. THE MIDDLE TEMPLE.—To-morrow, the first day of Easter Term, the halls of the four inns of court will be again opened for dining, and it is expected that a very strong muster of the members of the above society will take place in their magnificent and ancient hall, in consequence of the proposed destruction of the Temple fountain and garden by' the benchers of the Middle Temple. This act of Vandalism has been strenuausly resisted by the barristers and students, and a strong me morial, most numeroeely signed, has been presented tch the bench against it. In short, it is not too much to say that the act hss met with the entire condemnation of the memberseof the Inner and Middle Temples, the bencherl of the latter excepted. It should be borne in mind that , . the bar of the Middle Temple now numbers 1,300 meta. hers, and it remains to be seen•whether an irresponsible body of 33 self-elected men are so far to control the society of which they are the head as to carry into effect a plan so utterly distasteful and repugnant to the feet. hip and wishes of the majority. The public, as well ac the Society of the Middle Temple, have an interest in preserving this beautiful spot, admired and reverence , ' by our ancestors, and immortalised by the writings of Goldsmith. t w e i p n b g e n ar t e o u ese n d A b L y lA S .— ir T G h eo e r f g o e ll s o el e tr s a s c rs ts . B fr u o t m te a rw l o e r t t t h er , addressed of Fleet-street " We have about 80 barristers and 260 attorneys. Perhaps 50 of the forpaer and 200 of the latter get business—this ma y enable you to judge of our law market. Some of the attorneys make very large inn mes—from 7,000/. to 14,000/. per annum. There may be ball-a-dozen who are thus pros perous. The bulk of them, perhaps, realise front 8001. to 1,800/,, and some few scarcely earn a subsiAtnee. Among the barristers there are three, perhaps four, who make 5,000/. per annum, about a dozen who make from 2,009/ to 3,000/ , and the rest who got anything vary from 1,000/. to 2,000/. Many, however, get little or nothing, and several have lately aban doned the profession as a hopeless case. You may rely on this as a substantially accurate report of our pro fessional position, if any of your friends make inquiry of you on the subject. The large majority both of barristers and attorneys are Irish, but the leading men in either branch are English. We have none of the first class, either as lawyers or advocates, but there are many who would cut a respectab!e figure in West minster-hall, though there is certainly no excess of fo rensic decorum. Labourers, mechanics, and servants obtain very high wages here, but a guinea a-day is scarcely equal to two guineas a-week in England, such is the extravagant price of lodging and most of the necessaries of life. The average earnings of a gold-digger do not amount to 100/. per annum, for which he works about 10 hours a-day, and very hazardous work it is. Lacd that is accessible is scarcely to few purchased at any price. Your house in Fleet-stre ould commarerl a rent probably of 1,000/. per annum in Melbourne. I have known walnuts sold at 11d. each, and only to day I saw a tea-spoonful of cucumber-seeds sold for ls. Beer often not drinkable, is about is. a pint. The binding of a law book, large octavo, is 12s. per volume. These little things are never mentioned in the newspapers lest emigrantA should take alarm." .. ~ ~ S a: ,k 50 25 12 12i 20 6,1 10 St. 263 13h 20 St. St. 12? 120 St. 1:6.6! 20 25 25 12i
