Without this report the work of the Royal Corn rnissioners would have been incomplete. The Exhibition over, the official catalogue and the "blue books" will be looked upon by us and future gene rations as the historical record of its glory ; and even a cursory perusal of these volumes will enable the mind to picture something of its magnificence and its greatness. So minute are the details col lected in this volume, that nothing seems to have been omitted, even to the cataloguing of the printed form for acknowledging the receipt of a letter, or the notice posted in the building, telling the visi tors, in their mother tongue, that " no smoking allowed" was a law within the Crystal Palace, or to the kind and quantities of provisions consumed in the refreshment-rooms. We find, too, many interesting remarks showing the value of the expe rience gained by the Executive, in the event of future Exhibitions ; and the difficulties attending the decisions of the prizes. Altogether this is a remarkable document, and one which does infinite credit to the compilers Philosophers and Actresses. From the French of Arsene Houssaye. The Letters of Peter Plymley, Essays and Speeches By the Rev. Sydney Smith. _ _ We notice these together, merely because they form consecutive volumes in the series of " Read able Books," illustrated and published by Mr. Vizetelly. Apart from the sparkling lightness which characterises them, there is but one bond of union, and that is the unity of " getting up" : in all other respects they are antipodes to one another. In the former we have a series of lively stories, founded on the lives of celebrities, often of very questionable morale ; in the latter we have the essence of the wit and strength of the writing of the accomplished Canon of St. Paul's, who first edited the Edinburgh Review, and was long one of its most active, racy contributors. Observations on Life Assurance Societies. By Arthur Scratchley, M.A., Examiner of the Institute of Actuaries of Great Britain and Ireland. London : Parker and Son. A most valuable pamphlet, in which the impor tant subject of Life Assurance is ably and lumi nously handled. It should be read by all who desire either to add to their present policies, or to assure for the first time. Not only are the princi ples of Life Assurance clearly set forth, but many improvements in the constitution of Assurance Societies are suggested. In fact, the chief impor tance of this pamphlet is in the latter parti cular. Of these perhaps the best is the " Sus pension Principle," for it is clear to every one who for a moment reflects, that, engaged as most are in business with fluctuating returns, it is not always convenient to meet at stated terms fixed premiums. Another is the " Transfer or Substitution Princi ple," by means of which life policies may become more easily marketable, and consequently of more value to the assured. A third most important fea ture advocated is the "Deposit System," and in the extension of life assurance to the working classes, the application of the machinery of the savings banks for the receipt of even copper depo sits. There are many suggestions offered by Mr. Scratchley, but these are the most important im provements advocated. We have not dwelt upon them, satisfying ourselves t% ith little more than enunciating the principles; but we are induced to quote a passage illustrative of the advantages which would arise from the adoption of the suspension principle : " In 1847, among the numerous failures, a leading firm became bankrupt, and the services of its officers being no longer required, they were dismissed. One, who had been twenty years in a high confidential appoint ment in that firm, partook of the general misfortune. He lost at once a liberal income, relying upon the continu ance of which he bad effected (3,!soraaCes to collZitierable amounts in several offices. Not being able to make the renewal payments for 1847, he applied to the offices in question, but excepting from that one which had adopted the suspension principle, his replies were unfavourable. All his policies, therefore, but one, dropped, and were lost to his wife and children. The other was allowed to continue in force. Within twelve months, his past meri torious services and his qualifications brought him again into good employ, and he was enabled to keep up the suspended policy. By the rule of the other assurance offices, he could within six or twelve months have possi bly revived his policies, on paying a fine for their having lapsed, provided his health was sound and unim paired. But unfortunately, as so frequently happens, that health, which had been excellent some years previous when the assurances were effected, had been deteriorating for some time, and the sudden failure of the firm of 1847, with its attendant anxiety, had not led to its improve ment. The medical officers could not advise their boards that the life was re-acceptable, or that the policies should be revived. He lost, thus, for his family, by temporary pressure arising from temporary loss of employment, in all but one solitary instance, the assurance protection which he so anxiously had desired for his family." host probably this gentleman sold his policies when he found they must become virtually for feited; but it is no argument in favour of the pre sent system that policies may be negotiated. It is well known that life policies are not easily sold, and that when a sale is effected it is at a great sacrifice to the assured. This is but the first part of Mr. Scratchley's " Observations." We shall look with interest for the second, which is to be upon Savings Banks. ARIETIES GOOD RECIPE.—The best cough drop for young ladies is to drop the practice of dressing thin, when they go out into the night air. OF COURSE NOT.—The newspapers are full of adver tisements for plain cooks. We suppose pretty cooks Lave no occasion to advertise at all. 1 0 MAKE A NIGHTMARE.—Just before going to bed, eat two pig's feet and a fried pie. In less than an hour you will see a snake larger than a hawser, devouring six blue-eyed children, who have just escaped from a mon ster with sorrel eyes and a red-hot overcoat.—Kentucky Courier. AN INTELLIGENT CLERK.-4 clerk was assisting a lergyman to robe before the service commenced, and said " Please, sir, I'm deaf."—" Indeed, my good man (says the curate) ; th en h ow do you manage to fol low me during the service ?"—" Why, sir, (says the clerk), I looks up, and when you shuts your mouth I opens • _ I to him, TETE STING OF A BEE. — relief by In most c ases the persuopnanstuz can i n stantaneously obtain point stung with the tube of a k e y l , pressing a s ill aqua spirits t i This sting, and relieve the ammonia (commonpain, andhe application hartshorn) will immediately remove it.

FRENCH ESTIMATE OF THE ENGLISH RACE.—It must .not be disguised that the English race—a bastard race, fair enough in a physical respect—is the most vicious, the most corrupt, the most contemptible, morally speaking, consequently the most hypocritical; and that if corruption begins to invade our poor France, it is solely to the con tact and to the influence of this impure race that it is due. What then can be reason a bl y expecte d from the d regs , the refuse of England.—History of Oceania, Casimir Henricq. GEMS OF THOU GHT.—He who says there is no such thing as an honest man, you may be sure is himself a knave.—Sir Peter Lely made it a rule never to look at a bad picture, having found by experience that whenever he did so his pencil took a hint from it. Apply the same rule to bad books and bad company.--If we only loved our friends as well before they die as we do afterwards, what a beatific world this would be. For softening the heart, an hour's stroll in a grave-yard is worth all the sermons that were ever preached.—Even the calming and restoring influence of religion cannot wholly lull the troubled agony of a memory burthened with crime. THE MOORISH CosrumE.—The celebration of the fetes of the Bairam give the best opportunity of examining the of the Moorish costume, as the women parade all ie streets, holding their children by the hand. aik," or veil, covers their whole person, with the exception of the eyes, which eyes are in general so beau tiful that I can quite understand the jealousy of the hus band. But in spite of this veil, which, however, they sometimes raise, as if on purpose to display their charms, you can see their trousers of silken muslin, their robes of silk, embroidery d in gold or silver, or worked in varie gated colours. Their bare feet are enclosed in slipp ers o f red. blue, or yellow morocco, likewise embroidered in gold or silver. The children are dressed in velvet or em broidered silk, and wear the " chachia," or Tunisian cap, made of the same colour as the vest, cove re d w ith sequ i ns. and ornamented with a golden tassel. Some are attired in a parti-coloured garment of blue and yellow, like the costumes worn in Europe at the time of the middle ages. —Madame Prus's Residence in Algeria. richnes about The " THE DUKE AND HIS COOK.—The Duke of Welling ton once requested the connoisseur whom the author of Tancred terms " the finest judge in Europe," to provide him a chef. Felix, whom the late Lord Seaford was reluctantly about to part with on economical terms, was recommended and received. Some months afterwards his patron was dining with Lord Seaford, and before the first course was over he observed "So I find you have got the duke's cook to dress your dinner." " I have got Felix," replied Lord S., " but he is no longer the duke's cook. The poor fellow came to me with tears in his eyes, and begged me to take him back again at reduced wages, or no wages at all, for he was determined not to remain at A ps ley House." " Has the duke been finding Unlit ?" said I. "Oh no, my lord ; I would stay if he had ; he is the kindest and most liberal of masters ; but I serve him a dinner that would make Ude or Francatelli burst with envy, and he says nothing. I serve him a dinner dressed, and badly dressed, by the cookmaid, and he says nothing. I cannot live with such a master, if he was a hundred times a hero.—The Art of Dining. THE SABBATH AT HANIVELL LUNATIC ASYLUM.— Many eyes were stationed upon us, as strangers, with a gaze of wonder and amaze. Sonic, whom we had seen and conversed with on former occasions, were evidently glad to recognise us, as it promised a transient relief to the monotony of their existence. As soon, however, as the minister commenced reading the liturgy, the scattered attention of the patients was gathered up and concentrate) upon the service. Most of them—some with books, and some without—followed the prayers and joined in the responses with every appearance of intelligence and fervour. When fairly engaged in the devotion of that hallowed hour, seldom have we seen a congregation so uniformly decorous and attentive. Numbers, probably, had but a faint conception of the nature of the ceremony, and only repeated the words from a blind instinct of imitation ; but many, and by far the greater number, seemed devoutly attentive, and were manifestly soothed and comforted by the exercises. Presently a hymn was given out; the organ poured forth a voluntary ; after which the entire congre gation rose, and joined in the song of thanksgiving and praise, with a much nearer approach to the true harmony than is heard in the majority of our places of worship. The effect of the music upon many of the patients was truly striking. Some it calmed and lulled into mental and physical repose; there they stood, fixed in the posture they had at first assumed, like statues of peace and devout contentment.—Hogg's Instructor. DR. CHALMERS ON SCRIPTURAL EDUCATION.—The earnestness of Chalooers's mind in seeking that all possi ble good should be done through whatever channel, made him actively sympathise with every preacher of Christian doctrine of whatever denomination. At Bristol he con sented to open an Independent chapel; he startled and, in all probability, displeased his hearers by a strong eulogy of the Church of England, expressing his conviction that were its ministrations done away, they would never be replaced " by all the zeal, talent, and energy of private adventurers." Cities might have their meeting-houses, but the country districts would fall into Paganism. The chief use of Dissenters, he seemed to say, was by their activity to keep the Establishment on the watch. In July, 1830, we have Chalmers in Edinburgh, returned from an English tour. Gurney—the good and intelligent Gurney —was there. Gurney was recovering from an ill ness, and he and Chalmers met every day. He kept notes of their conversatiuns. The three days of Paris suggested fear to Chalmers's mind. " The revolution had been," he said, " effected by the growth of merely human intel ligence," and " without a particle of Christian principle." " I am not one of those who underrate the value of civil and political liberty," but he added that " it was only the principles of Christianity that could impart true security, prosperity, and happiness, either to individuals or to nations." " lam prepared to expect that, on the efforts which are now making to regenerate our species without religion, God will impress the stamp of a solemn and impressive mockery." Chalmers apprehended some popular frenzy sweeping away all our institutions—civil, literary, and religious. This danger he ascribed "to the wide dissemination of superficial knowledge." In argu ing for religious establishments, he dwelt on the hopeless ness of expecting people to build churches for themselves —they are more than content to do without them. Look ing eastward from the top of St. Paul's, he said he saw church spires everywhere—to the west, where you see a new town erected for a new population, " scarcely a spire is to be seen."—Dublin University Magazine. SOCIAL HABITS OF THE HUNGARIANS.—I took con siderable pains to notice the diet and habits of eating of the people in Hungary as connected with this remarkable vigour of the race, hoping to derive some useful hints. The great peculiarity of the people was their temperance in eating and drinking, and at the same time their making the meals a pleasant social occasion, and not merely a process for filling up the stomach. By temperate, I mean that they indulge in no excess; for, in respect to wine drinking, there is scarcely a man in the land who does not drink the light wine at his dinner and supper. But with the Hungarian the dinner is a time for social intercourse, when friends meet, or when the children and relatives all g ither with the parents, and have almost their only merry, familiar conversation during the day. They sit a great while at table, and taste of a great variety of dishes, at least it is so among the better classes. Still they are by no means such hearty eaters as the Americans or English. They appear more like the French—preferring variety to any great amount of food. Indeed, to a traveller with a keen appetite, the Hungarians seem Nally abstemious. They make much more use of fruits, salads, and curious puddings, and the light pure wines, than we of the Anglo- Saxon race. A Hungarian would consider himself in danger of becoming a sot if he should drink every day the strong, brandied wines which Englishmen have on their table. The English in Hungary, too, are unable, in that clear, oxygenated climate, to keep up their habits of generous living. The first meal among the Hungarians is taken at seven or eight in the morning, and consists only of a glass of coffee, with rich milk and some dried toast, broken up and eaten in the coffee. This is the universal breakfast for all classes, except the poorest Baner. Be tween this and the dinner at one or two, nothing is usually eaten or drunk. The dinner is long, with a great variety of dishes, not essentially differing from our own, except that it is lighter, and a greater use is made of light wines. This meal is always followed by a cup of coffee. The only other meal is the supper at eight o'clock in the even ing —a long meal again, with soup, fish, pudding, and wine. Tea is very little drunk ; sugar and sweetmeats, too, are seldom used. The principal things worthy of imitation in regard to the domestic arrangements of the llungarians seem to be the moderation and sociability of the meals, and the distance of time at which they are separated—the last being no doubtvery conducive to health. The great cause of their vigorous health and well-formed bodies must he found, without doubt, in their open-air pursuits and manly exercise, to which they are all ardently attached. They are a nation of herdsmen and farmers, and enjoy the benefits of their pursuits. No acconnt of their habits would be complete without stating that the whole population, from the nobleman and clergyman down to the lowest Baner on the Puszta, smoke inces santly from morning till night.—Brace's Hungary in 1851. MADAME CATALINI.—As I bad the pleasure to know this magnificent artiste and most amiable woman, in Eng land, one of my earliest visits was to her, and as she had been on terms of intimacy with my relatives in London, she welcomed me as a friend, and overpowered me with attention. She was still, though of mature years, majes tic in form, and I might say beautiful in face, with such a combination of dignity and warmth in her manner, that all who saw her now, as in youth, loved and worshipped her. She was surrounded by a numerous family who lived upon her looks, and sought to anticipate every wish, and by a crowd of friends whose devotion she fully ap preciated. Catalini was born to be a queen, and instead of ruling the stage, she ought to have graced a throne, as her moral worth was as transcendant as the beauty of her person ; but never did the profession of an artiste receive more honour than at her hands, and she advanced it to that height of dignity to which Mrs. Siddons raised the character of an English actress. On the occasion of her last visit to England, I was invited more than onee to spend a day at her villa at Richmond, and there the few privileged persons admitted to her intimacy saw what the great Catalini really was in domestic life. The drawing room windows opened on the lawn, and her great delight was to wander from one to the other, as fancy dictated, and when she thought no one was observing what she did. Her friends understood this amiable caprice of not being noticed, and whilst we chatted together, read the news paper, or the last novel, she flew f rom p l ace t o p l ace , t o pluck a rose, to visit her aviary, to make a hasty sketch, to run over the notes of the piano, and to indulge in fan tastic warblings, imitations of birds, or trials of vocal skill, that thrilled every heart. Of the grandeur of the prima donna's professional style the world had full cog nizance, but of the pure and simple melody of her voice, none but the favoured few had any true idea. She was more tragic than Madame Pasta, as mellifluous as Madame Rossi, and as soul-subduing as Jenny Lind, and when she indulged in daring flights of musical combination, it seemed as if a lark was soaring to the heavens, or as if a canary-bird was training its wildest notes. Perhaps it was only a single word she uttered, or a single bar she went through, or it might be the part or whole of some favourite air, but it was the songstress of nature unfet tered by rules of art; when suddenly voice and gesture would chan g e, a n d, as if by mag i c , we saw the tragic actress crossing the stage in all the majesty of lyrical power. If one word was said, or the slightest applause given, the c h arm was b ro k en f or t h at morn i ng, an d t h e child of nature became the high-bred lady, doing the honours of her house with unaffected grace. Such as Catalini then was, I understood from her family she still remained, a n d not hi ng could be more exquisite than the occasional flights of song in which she indulged in her daily rambles h e t through divine sthoengfisntreog idoss d und n s o o t lie f v her m r n o o rn h an lo ti n c g v e i r ll t a o . charm her friends, and adorn society. She fell, a few m onths after the period I sp ea k o f , a victim to the cholera at Lyons, to which place she had fled after the Grand Duke abandoned Florence.—Michael Burke Honan.

Trn Liberal party in this town professed to deplore that a religious question had been introduced at the late Bo rough Election. Putting out of consideration the fact that Mr. EWART was substituted for Sir THOMAS Buten as a candidate on religious grounds, we ask these gentle men now whether, in Ireland at all events, the majority of the contests have been decided by any other than priestly influence, and on religious grounds ? Never has ruffianism more gross prevailed even in that country than during the past fortnight; and in every case the instiga tors have been those saintly admirers of " civil and reli gious liberty," the reverend eleven of the College of Maynooth. We cull the evidence of a few specimens from the Irish papers of the past week ; and shall first commence with the county of Dublin : " In the chapel of Lusk, last Sunday (week), the priest of that parish, at the usual period of addressing the peo ple during mass, called every voter he knew to be in the chapel, by name, to the rails of the altar. He then warned them, in the first place, of the strictly religious character of the political struggle now going on, and pro ceeded individually, and in the face of the congregation, to caution them against voting, under any influence or any circumstances, for any other than Messrs. Craven and Lentaigne. He then intimated that it was well known that his clerical character would prevent his doing them any mischief, but that he would be by no means surprised if those who despised his advice and the interests of the Church had their houses burnt over their heads." The same paper from which we quote (the Dublin Evening Herald) adds : " A tenant who was under large obligations to Mr. Hamilton, and who had cheerfully promised him his vote, came to him on Tuesday, and told him that he bad been given to understand that if he redeemed his pledge, his house would be burned over his head, and all his cattle houghed. Another who had, under similar circumstances, made the same promise, told him that his priest had pointedly informed him, that if he dared to fulfil his engagement, he should be placed under all the penalties of excommunication." In the county of Cork the same system of intimidation and outrage has been practised, and has in fact caused the retirement of the two Conservative candidates. A cor respondent of the Cork Constitution thus describes the state of the county : " You can have no idea of the species of intimidation, and the extent it is carried to in this county. The denun ciations from the altar, and the religious warfare that the priests have raised amongst their flocks, nobody can have any conception of. The Stockport affair is commented upon, exaggerated, and added to—even the occurrences at Macroom are connected with the Stockport affair, and all are brought before the poor unfortunate credulous people in all the heat of language, &c., that the Irish priesthood are such adepts at ; and I do verily believe that the result is that in no time, however disturbed, was our county in a more disorganized and disaffected state than it is at present. Numbers of men are night-walking and calling at the several houses of those unfortunate persons who happen to be in the voters' role, warning them, intimidating—and I may well add, threatening— them against disobedience of the priests' direction." The result has been the adoption of the following reso lution by a large number of the influential landowners and gentry of Cork : " Resolved,—That, considering the inflammatory and unconstitutional course of excitement adopted by the Roman Catholic clergy—the threats held out to their flocks—the alarms produced in the minds of many of the electors, by the disgraceful scenes of violence and terror ism which marked the late election for the city of Cork, and the organised preparation for similar scenes which exists in the county, we are of opinion that it would be impossible at present to obtai n a f a i r or f ree expression of the sentiments of the electors, and that it would be unfair to the farmers who have promised their support to the Conservative candidates, t o e x p ose th em t o the intimida tion and influences which would be brought to bear upon them ; and that we approve of the course pursued by the committee, who have requested Messrs. Hudson and Shuldham to retire from the present contest." And it is announced in addition— " That a petition of the freeholders, electors, and gen try of the connty of Cork be presented to both houses of parliament, upon their assembling, praying for the adop tion of legislative measures to secure the freedom of elec tion in Ireland." At the election for the county of Meath, Mr. Henry Grattan, a gentleman to whose father, as well as to him self, Ireland is under deep obligations, was opposed by a fanatic named Lucas, once a quaker, but now a Papist of the Ultra-montane school, and editor of the Tablet. Our Irish contemporary thus describes a scene which occurred at the nomination : " A scene of th e grea t es t uproar ensue d , i n w hich the priests joined in the most prominent manner. One of them, the Rev. Peter O'Reilly, who was seated in front of Mr. Grattan, and not a yard from him, turned upon that gentleman, and putting his hands into the form of claws, as if preparing to tear his eyes out, and with the most horrible grimaces, hooted and _groaned him for some time. Mr. Grattan bore all with thegreatest good temper, but he did not refrain from erpresoing by his couatenanco the contempt he must have felt for the rev. gentleman, who made so unseemly a display of political rancour and reli gious animosity." At the polling a priest in the interest of Mr. Lucas stood inside each booth to watch the voters, whilst ano ther stood as sentinel at the door. In Roscommon we find it stated that— " Parties of armed men assemble themselves at night, and march from house to house of voters, and force pro. mises from them that they will vote for Mr. Swift. In one instance we have been assured, where a resident ma gistrate and sub-inspector were engaged in taki ng deposi tions respecting the malicious burning of a rick of turf, an honest farmer observed, ' I dread the consequence of the coming election ; I live under a good landlord ; I am much indebted to him for his kindness and indulgence, and would be desirous to show my gratitude by voting for his friend ; but, sir, our lives are threatened, unless we give our votes for the priest.' The poor man in conclusion observed, I value my life and the lives of my family, and in order to preserve them must make an enemy of my benefactor by voting contrary to my intention. I must vote for the priest.' " In Kerry we are told that— " The residence of every Roman Catholic every man and woman was canvassed on the exclusive ground of religion. It was represented as a contest between " God and the devil." Money was lavishly spent on hired mobs, to keep up excitement through out the town during the past fortnight. Gold was forth coming to tempt the wavering —writs, subpoenas, and decrees were put in requisition, and even a false arrest made to prevent one gentleman from coming to the poll —while in one instance, an elector was entrapped and sent to Mitchelstown Castle, county Cork, there to be detained until the election was over." In fact throughout Ireland the proceedings have been a disgrace to the name of civilisation, and have called from no less an authority than the London Times the follow ing comment : was beset " is it possible that such scenes can be repeated at the present day, and with the tacit approval of the inhabitants of such a town as Belfast ? As for Cork and Limerick, we are less surprised. There is no use in disguising the fact from ourselves. A very considerable proportion of the Irish representatives in the approaching Parliament will be the mere nominees of the priests in Ireland, sent to Parliament exclusively to represent their interests and reflect their passions. Just in the same way as Daniel O'Connell was wont to thrust his Repeal pledge down the throats of the Irish representative body in his time, so do the Roman priests compel their nominees to repeat the Persecution Shibboleth under pain of exclusion from their seats. Whatever the loathing of the wretched candidate may be—however great his disgust at his taskmasters — they will not spare him one phrase of the bead-roll. He must gesticulate as they pull the strings—he must roar as they give the cue." Here, however, the matter cannot be permitted to rest; and we venture to prophecy that the result of these out rageous proceedings will convince many thousands of people in this country, who hare heretofore hesitated to denounce the system which produces such fruits, that the priesthood of Ireland must be repressed if necessary by the strong hand of power. Constitutional liberty in that country is obviously a farce. At Kilkenny, a priest named Shea is reported to have acted in the following manner :—" He got upon the table, he sprang into the air, and roared like a maniac ; he foamed at the mouth, his eyes were bloodshot and staring, and his voice was raised, hoarse and shrill as a screech owl, whilst he shook his clenched fist in Lord James Butler's face, and seemed every moment about to strike that nobleman off the bench. The words and actions of this worthy specimen of Maynooth were sufficient to lash the mob to fury, and the scene of tumult became terrific. Father Tom Shea continued bellowing, ' Give us back our cathedral,' meaning thereby the Protestant church of Kilkenny." In Clare, Father M`Quaid says :—" If ten thousand Frenchmen landed to-morrow at Killala or Bantry Bay, and that it was said to the people of this country, ' The English power is endangered,' what answer could I give ?" To this significant question the mob replied by consigning England and its power to the d-1. In Meath, Father Kelly states that " The persecuting government of Lord Derby, at the time when a Christian ',relate blessed the eagles of France, would not permit a Christian priest to administer the sacraments to one who had fallen dying in the highway." In Mayo, a priest told his flock to " Thrust the M'Alpinites into bog-holes, and beat their brains until they cudgelled M'Alpine out of them." The candidate was ultimately compelled to retire. In Longford county, a priest is reported by a corres pondent of the Dublin Evening Mail to have proclaimed in his chapel that "Every Catholic voter in the parish ?cas his property— that any landlord who dared to canvass him for Mr. Harman should receive, as an answer from his tenant, a ' kick and a box.' " Another holy father informed his superstitious flock that " any of them who voted for Harman, he would instantly turn hlm into a puck. haune (Anglice, he-goat)." These are but a few specimens of the awful influence exercised by these wicked men over their degraded serfs. The same writer says : " Sir George Fetherstone's freeholders, consisting of some eighty-five, went over to the priest in a body (in presence of their landlord the day before yesterday), de claring that they dared not vote against " their clergy," notwithstanding three weeks previously they all unani mously promised their landlord to vote for Mr. Harman. Every one of these tenants, I am informed, are indebted to Sir G. Fetherstone from two to three years' arrears of rent. During the famine years he cherished and brought them safely through all the calamities of that melancholy period ; but now all past favours are forgotten at the com mand of some low-bred, rabid priest, So much for Celtic gratitude now-a-days. Under these circumstances, con sidering the prospect of serious disturbance, the Conser vative candidate retired." The Morning Herald, in commenting upon these pro ceedings, remarks : " Parliament will have scarcely met before its table will groan under the weight of the multitude of petitions from the Trish counties and boroughs, demanding some redress for the evils we have endeavoured to depict. In fact, in a full third of that kingdom the priests have returned the members by terror alone. The gentry and freeholders, alarmed at the scenes of bloodshed and massacre they had every reason to apprehend if they persevered in demanding a free election, declined involving the kingdom in a species of civil war. The persons returned, not elected, for the counties of Cork, Kilkenny, Limerick. Galway. Roscom mon, Longford, East and West Meath, in fact, for up. wards of one-half the kingdom, are the mere nominees of a faction that act by intimidation, terror, threats, and ruf fianism of every description." THE DERBY ELECTION. ALLEGED DISCOVERY OF BRIBERY. The further hearing of this case, postponed from Thurs day week, when the examinations were in private, took place on Thursday last, before the mayor and a numerous bench of magistrates —numerous gentlemen of the town and neighbourhood being present. Morgan, the prisoner, being brought into court, 111 r. Moss rose and said—lt will be in your recollection that at the last examination of witnesses in this case re ference was made to a letter which was found upon the person of the prisoner, and perhaps before proceeding with the case, it may be desirable to have the depositions then taken read over, that the case may be fully before the bench. Mr. Smallwood, solicitor, of Shrewsbury, who attended for the prisoner, said, that as on the former occasion he was present, and as the magistrates were themselves con versant with thefacts, he deemed it unnecessary to occupy the time of the bench in reading the former facts deposed to, when The Magistrates suggested that as they would have to be read over to the several witnesses at the close of the case, that could be dispensed with. Mr. Moss then said he should proceed to prove the handwriting of the letter in question, when he called Mr. J. Keogh, who stated he was a relative of the present member for Athlone, and that he had at present resided at 85, King William-street, London-bridge, and was for merly secretary to the board of directors of the Reading and Reigate Railway Cempany, of which Major Beresford was chairman, and that in that capacity he possessed many opportunities of becoming acquainted with the handwriting of Major Beresford, who he knew was a mem ber of the Carlton Club, and was recently returned for one of the divisions of the county of Essex. Mr. Moss then handed the witness the letter, and asked if, from the means he possessed, he could say in whose handwriting the letter in question was, when Mr. Keogh stated it was, as well as the envelope in which it was contained, in the handwriting of Major Wil liam Beresford. The letter was addressed to "Mr. John Frail, Clerk of the Course, Shrewsbury," and was as follows : "A good and safe man, with judgment and quickness, is wanted immediately at Derby. I suppose that you cannot leave your own place; if not send some one whom you can trust in your place. Let him go to Derby on recPiving this, and find the County Tax ern, in the centre of the town, and send his card to Cox, Brothers, and Company, lead works, as coming from Chester; that will be enough. "Monday. B.!, Mr. Moss, addressing the bench, called attention to the Beal, which he stated clearly bore the impress of the Carlton Club, with the Prince's feathers, &c., but, al though the seal was subjected to the scrutiny of a magni fying-glass, the impression did not appear to warrant the conclusion. The letter was then handed to the prisoner's solicitor, who said the letter " N" was the only one he could detect. Mr. Gisbourne asked witness how long it was since he was connected with the Reading and Reigate Railway Company, when he stated that it was four or five years ago when the company broke up, but he had not the least doubt of the writing being the handwriting of Major Beresford. Police-constable Fearn said, from information he had received he proceeded to the County Tavern, situate in St. Mary's Gate, where, on passing through the yard and proceeding up a back staircase, he was stopped by a man who said he could not let him pass, when, on a signal which he had been made acquainted with being used, he was (being in plain clothes) allowed to pass, and in the room he found the prisoner standing near the fireplace, and his pocketbook on the table (which Look he produced), arid on conveying him to the lock-up, where he was searched, the gold conveyed in the bag and purse were found on his person. One other bag was taken possession of by Hardy, another officer. 'Witness further stated that the prisoner (Morgan) said he thought Derby was poor place, as it took as much to pay two votes in his Place as twenty cost here, and that the money he had would not have lasted him in Shrewsbury two hours, or perhaps not one. There were in notes one £lO and six £5 notes. The gold in the bag witness counted amounted to £1304 the amount in the other he did not count. Morgan said that he had had the money given to him, and that they (meaning the officers) might have bid some it 9 well as he, but that now he should claim it. Witness also said he (Morgan) had said that he was victimized, and that he came to Derby as a poll-clerk, and if he had known what he was to have been employed in he would never have come; that the money was brought to him by a tallish man dressed in drab clothing, wham he did not know, nor could he tell again unless he had some conver sation with him, as when he came it was dark, and the gas was not lit. Police-sergeants Hardy and Mellor confirmed the par ticulars of Fearne's statement, proving, in a ldition, that 135 sovereigns in gold were found in the prisoner's trou sers' pocket, and a leathern purse containing six half sovereigns ; that when they asked prisoner how much money he had he said he could not tell to £lO ; that lie had paid it according to the checks, which, with the num bers, he had entered in his pocket-book. Henry Sharrock was called, and stated that he was a butcher by trade ; that he was a voter by household suf frage, and being employed at his field be was fetched home by a man that he knew, who told him there was a pig for him ; that he was taken to a public-house, where he had something to drink, for which he did not pay, and was told that if he would vote for Horsfall there were two pounds for him ; that his number on the list was 1,053; and that he went to the committee-room, where he received a card to vote for Horsfall, which he did, and was then taken to the County Taverr, up stairs, where, on turning his back to the door, two sovereigns were put into his hand by some person within the room, whom he did not see; nor did he know that he had that morning shown to the officers the room door at which he received the money, which was the same room in which the officers apprehended the prisoner. In the prisoner's pocket-book was found, among other entries, the No. 1,053, with £2 set over against it. This closed the case for the prosecution, when Mr. Smallwood, the prisoner's attorney, addressed the bench at some length on the part of the prisoner, and the magis trates retired to consider their decision, and were absent about half an hour. When they returned, The Mayor said they found sufficient evidence to com mit the prisoner, but would receive bail. Mr. Moss then rose, and said, from the extreme impor tance of the case, involving, as it did, many personages of the most elevated station, he hoped such bail would be demanded as would satisfy the ends of justice, and defend the morality of the country. He had no wish to press the matter against the unfortunate prisoner, who was no doubt a victim, but he trusted the Court would secure to itself and the country the means of preventing such highly im moral proceedings. Mr. Smallwood was heard in reply. when, The Mayor and magistrates fixed the bail at—prisoner, £300; and two surelics, £l5O each The sureties were—John Lloyd 17ardcll, Trumpet Tnn, Shrewsbury ; John Lloyd, Sir William Hill's Arms Inn, Shrewsbury. SWINDLING EXTRAORDINARY At the Westminster Police-office, on Tuesday, Thomas Collins, a man 60 years of age, underwent a lengthened examination, charged with fraudulently obtaining an im mense number of portraits of the nobility and gentry. It was stated by the police that the prisoner had, for many years past, had a peculiar penchant for pictures, and that, owing to repeated complaints to the Commissioners of police, they had been employed in the matter, but that he had for a great length of time eluded the vigilance of the law in consequence of the reluctance of persons to come forward to prosecute, and his having sent home some of the portraits about which a stir was made. It seemed to matter but little to the accused whether the originals were " born to greatness, had achieved greatness, or had greatness thrust upon them," all were alike to him ; " eminent military men, eminent Conservatives, eminent Liberals," and Liberals that were not eminent — members of both houses, of all conditions, and among them those who had not been returned a couple of days, were solicited for their pictures, in order that copies might be taken of them for publication ; nor were the likenesses of the ladies of the land even spared, but were to be sub mitted to the gaze of the admiring multitude as The Fe male Aristocracy of the Reign of Queen Victoria. Be sides those owned, 43 portraits and miniatures of ladies and gentlemen, the pawnbrokers' duplicates of which were found upon the prisoner, remain to be claimed. The first case proceeded with was that of the Earl of Desert. His Lordship stated that in the summer of 1848 the prisoner (as he believed) called upon him, and asked him for his portrait, from which he might engrave a copy for publication in his work of Portraits of Conservative Statesmen, His Lordship gave him permission to have it, with an understanding that it was to be returned the following season, but it never came back, and he heard no more of it until about three weeks ago, when he received a pawnbroker's duplicate for the portrait pledged for £2, and the following letter : "My Lord,—l have really now no other alternative but to write to you and describe what must be to me most pain ful. I struggled but wholly failed in my efforts to pub lish your Lordship's portrait in my national work of eminent Conservatives, and during the Whig adminis tration all my efforts were in vain. A distress on my property was the result, and in order to save the property of others I was compelled to adopt a most disagreeable mode to do so. Your Lordship's portrait, among the rest, is in safety, at a considerable expense to myself. How, my Lord, I rejoiced when Lord Derby's Govern ment was installed. I made myself quite certain of con quering my difficulties, by proceeding with my national work, and my resolution was formed to place your Lord ship's portrait in hand forthwith ; but, my Lord, unex pected troubles have come upon me, and I therefore candidly and openly confess my position. I inclose the document, (the pawnbroker's ticket,) to show that the property is in safety ; but, my Lord, not being able to conquer the troubles with which I am now visited, I have resorted to your Lordship without loss of time. I will not enter into any details as to my present position ; suffice it to say it is excruciating. 1 have the honour to be your Lordship's faithful humble servant,—ThomAs COLLINS." James Wood proved that the portrait of his lordship was pledged on the 29th of June, 1848, the very time at which it was obtained. The tickets had since been from time to time renewed. Mr. Arnold inquh ed whether there were any other cases ready ? Sergeant Smith, of the detective police, who had proved prisoner's writing in the letter produced by the Earl of Desart, said that he had found the portrait of Mr. Miles, M.P., pawned, but he was unable to attend that day. Mr. Cummings, an inspector of the B. division, pro duced the pawnbroker's tickets of Lord and Lady Alfred Paget's portraits, and said his lordship's butler was in at tendance. Andre Castier, the butler, said the prisoner had the pictures in last autumn or January. The tickets had been forwarded to Lady Paget in a let. ter, which precisely resembled that addressed to the Earl of Desart, until towards the close, which expressed a hope that her ladyship would not prosecute him. Her lady ship's picture was pawned for £lO ; his lordship's for 10s. The letter further stated that that amount was wholly be yond prisoner's reach, but he might some day be able to place it at her ladyship's disposal. Mr. Arnold having intimated his intention to remand, The prisoner's solicitor said, if such was his intention, he would decline saying anything at present. Mr. Arnold said he should assuredly remand him, and, after the evidence he had heard, it would bo for larceny. The prisoner was remanded for a week. The Times, in a leading article, says, in reference to the above case :—" A humorous old rogue, Thomas Col lins by name, who appears to have been as well acquainted with the weak side of human nature as Sam Slick himself, has for a long time been in the habit of obtaining a great number of the portraits of noblemen and gentlemen, that engravings of them might be taken for publication. The old fellow appears to have divided his male dupes princi pally into two batches, eminent Conservative statesmen — eminent liberal statesmen.' The clergy and the army had niches apart. It does not appear that Mr. Collins meddled with the lawyers. The ladies were to be all comprised in one fourne'e. ' The female aristocracy of the reign of Queen Victoria.' Ah ! that one word aristocracy'—how well Mr. Collins knew the measure of those with whom he had to deal ! In the case brought before Mr. Arnold, at the Westminster police-office, the application was made by the Earl of Desart, the present Under-Secretary for the Colonies. We wish, for the sake of all th a t i s ridicu lous, we could record that Mr. Collins had played upon Lord Desert's credulity since his recent accession to the eminent post in the Derby administration which he now so worthily occupies. Lord Desart, however, told the magistrate 'that it was in the summer of 1848 the prisoner called upon him, and asked him for his portrait, from which he might engrave a copy for publication in the work of Portraits of Conservative Statesmen.' Alas for the good old days of Gil Blas, or the more modern epoch of Jerome Paturo—the young Secretary for the Colonies fell into the snare. In placeof telling Mr. Collins that he might have a sitting or two if he would undertake to supply him with a copy of the interesting work in question gratis, Lord Desart was ' green' enough (we crave pardon for the phrase) to comply with the request. Of course, the old rogue took away the portrait at once, laughing in his sleeve at the gullibility of human nature, and pledged it at a pawnbroker's ! We wish that we could find space to re-insert the letter which Mr. Collins wrote to Lord Desart, informing him of the fact, and enclosing him the pawnbroker's ticket. We grieve to say that the pawn broking interest only estimate our present Under Colonial Secretary at £2. However, he may console himself : Lord Alfred Paget—this was one of the eminent Liberal statesmen' batch—was pledged for a beggarly 10s. Lady Alfred Paget was involved in the same fate, but upon more honourable terms. The pawnbroker set a value of £lO upon her ladyship's features, which really appears to us very flattering as times go. In addition to the instances named, it appears that Mr. Collins has been most success ful in many other cases ; but he has supposed, and with reason, that those who had been silly enough to fall into his snares would rather shrink from proclaiming their own absurdity in public. We trust that the present case may serve as a warning to our young statesmen that they should think twice before they rush into the engravers' shops. Only conceive—Charles James Fox, the present Earl of Desart, Sir Robert Peel, Lord Alfred Paget, William Pitt, and Cardinal Richlieu—what uniformity in the gallery !" THE CAPITAL OF ICELAND.—The dwellings of the rich are of wood, and built entirely on the ground fl oor , with the exception of a single edi fice, to which the high school now kept at Bassestadt is to be removed next year—this has an upper story. The Stiftsamtmann oc cupies a stone house, which w as or i g i na ll y i ntended for a prison, but crimes are of such rare occurrence in Iceland, that it was converted many years ago into a residence for this officer of the crown. Another stone house can be seen from Reikjavick—it is the seat of the Bishop, which lies surrounded by meadows near the sea, at Laugarnes, about half a mile from the town. The church is barely large enough to hold a hundred or a hundred and fifty persons. It is of stone, with a wooden roof, under which is kept a library, containing several thousand volumes. This church possesses a treasure which might well be envied by others of greater size and pretensions —a font by Thorwaisden, whose parents were natives of Iceland ; and, although born himself in Denmark, he seems to have been desirous to honour the land of his forefathers.— Pfeifer's lourney to iceland.
