ST. PAUL'S SCHOOL.

The schoolroom in which the speeches were de-
livered yesterday was deocested with unusual magnificence,
• colossal plume of the Prince of Wales's feathers being
placed in front of the gallery facing the platform, and
a costly chair, "domed with the initials " A.E." and the
City arms, basing been provided for the royal visitor. Long
before the commenoement of the day's business all the se►te
were occupied by • distitguished assemblage, among whom
were the Archbishops of York and Armagh, the Bishops
of London, Oxford, Lichfield, Llaedaff, and Down ; Lords
Ellenhorougb, Lyttelton, and Truro, and Chief Baron
Pollock.

The Prince. who had partaken of a magnifioent luncheon
io the house of the High Master, Dr. Hyraiton, entered
the schoolroom at about half-peat 2, when the programme
wee gone through in due order.

The verses written in " Commemoration of the Founder"
by the High Master, were distributed about the room in
Latin sad English, but were recited in English only. The
practice of reciting the prize composition is now abandcoed,
end spectators are content to witness the reward of merit,
without sonertaining its exteet. Thus the elocutionary
talent of the young sentiment was only displayed in the
series of dramatic scenes, Greek, English, end French,
placed under the head " speeches." These were all acted
with great spirit, the tragic scenes being, however, lees
entitled to commendatiou than the others.

Whet the last laugh excited by the pleasantries of la.
Jourdain and the Maitre de Philosophic had subsided, the
scholars were informed that at the grec oas request of the
Prince of Wales their holydays would be elongated to the
extent of a week, which was increased to a fortnight by the
seven bishops, who each solicited a day. As the gumbo
retired, "Three cheers for the Prince" and "Three theses
for the bishops" ceased the resemble building to resound.
It is understood that the old Pauline dinner will be re-
vived this year ou the 24 of July.

FINE ARTS.

THE SCANDINAVIAN GALLIUM

The exhibition of pictures chiefly by Denials
artiste, which has now been established for more than a
year in a very commodious and well-lighted gallery in the
Haymarket, and which we h►ve noticed on former coca-
'leas, is now shown for the benefit of the widows and
orphans of Danish soldiers who have fallen in the present
war with Prussia and Austria. It is particularly gratifying
to find that very important additions to the sabibi•
Lion have reeentlr beau made in the works of some
French painters of eminence, and still more recently in a
l►rge and very interesting picture by an English artist of
the French school, Mr. W. Strad, the subject of which is
' a bush fire in Australia. Apart from the charitable par•
pass, this is an exhibition that well theatres a visit.

SALE OF ITALIAN AND SPANISH PICTURES.

The collection of the late Earl of Clare and those
of the late Right Hoe. Edward Ellice, G. A. Hoskins,
Erb, sad E. E. Harcourt Vernon, Esq., and the late Vis-
count Strangford, masisting of pictures of the early Italian
111111‘11111, with some good examples of Murillo, Velasqum,
and Zarbana, are now exhibited at the Gallery of Messrs.
Christie and Manson, previous to the eale,whioli takes phials
to-morrow and eaturday east. The collection is rather a
miscellaneous one, so would be expected from the variety of
tastes concerned in the selestios ; bat there are several
eteeediaily interestiag mid valuable pictures.

MUSIC.

THE MUSICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON.

This society gave their fourth orchestral concert
—the last of the series of this season—at St. James's.hall
lent night. It presented one novelty of considerable iota-
rat—a manonoript symphony by Mr. John Fraacis Barnett,
which was performed for the first time, and received with
much Lapeer. It is a work of merit, which did honour
to Mr. Emmett's talents, and the society acted rightly in
bringing it forward, because in 'doing so they were
fulfilling one of the chief object. for which the
society was professedly founded, the encouragement of
young and native talent.

TELEGRAM OF THE TIMES CORRESPONDENT.

(From tb. &mood Edition of Um Timm.)

NEW YORK, MAY SL

On Thursday morning Grant, discovering Lee's
position between the North and South Anna rivers
to be too formidable for assault, recrossed the
North Anna, and, during the night, moved by the
left to the Pamunky, which he crossed on Friday
and Saturday at Hanover Town, 12 miles from
Richmond. His official despatches from that place.
to 2 p.m. on the 19th inst., report his army to be
three miles south of the river.

Lee is reported, upon the discovery of Grant's
movement, to have swung round his left into a
position confronting the Federals, and completely
covering Richmond. His left (formerly his right)
still holds Hanover Court House, and is under the
command of General Breckenridge.
Secretary Stanton announces that Butler is now
acting only on the defensive, and that General
Baldy Smith, with the 18th Army Corps, has been
transferred, rid Fortress Monroe, to the Potomac
army.

Whitehouse, on the York River, is now Grant's
base of supplies.
Sherman reports an engagement between Mac_
pherson and the Confederates, near Dallas, on the
28th inst., in which the Confederates lost 250 men
in killed and wounded, and 300 prisoners. The
Federal loss is stated at 300.

It is believed that General Johnston will continue
to retire, and defer a general engagement until he
reaches Atlanta, where he expects to be rein-
forced by General Polk's army.

Confederates Forrest and Buford have returned
to Western Kentucky.

Fears are entertained of another attack upon
Paducah.

The Federal gunboats Granite City and Nyanga
were captured in the Calcasieu River by the Con-
federates on the 6th inst.

Secretary Stanton states that Generals Banks,
Steele, and Rosecranz will remain in command of
their respective departments, subject to the orders
of General Canley, who has been placed in com-
mand of all the territory west of the Mississippi.
Juin 1, 11 A.x.

Despatches from Grant, to 6 a.m. yesterday,
report that Lee made a reconnaissance of the
Federal left on the previous afternoon, resulting
in a sharp conflict, in which General Crawford, who
had advanced nearly to filradygrove Church, at
Mechanicsville, was driven back. The Confederates
then retired. At the same time Grant ordered an
attack by his centre and left, which was not
executed, owing to the order failing to reach
General Wright. Hancock, on the right, alone
advanced, and took possession of the Confederate
skirmishing Loa

Finding Lee's position on the South Anna very
strong, General Grant made another flanking
movement on Thursday night. He withdrew across
the North Anna, marched to Hanover Town, and
crossed the Pamunkey at that (point, occupying on
Sunday *front three miles south of the Pamunkey.
Lee withdrew from the South Anna on the night
of Grant's movement, and took up a position
north of the Chickahominy, on the Mechanicsville-
road, south of Totopatamoy Creek, his right rest-
ing on Shady Grove.
The latest advice, state that on Monday evening
Lee attacked Warren near Shady Grove, on Grant's
left, but was repulsed with severe slaughter. To
relieve Warren, Meade then ordered a general
attack. Hancock alone received the order in time
to attack before dark ; he drove the Confederates
from their entrenched line, and still holds it.
Burnside's whole corps has crossed the Totopata-
moy Creek, and made a junction with Warren.
The Confederates were repulsed on Monday and
Tuesday iu an attack upon Butler's lines and on
his works at Spring-hill, east of the Appatomax.

The latest from Sherman states that the Con-
federates attacked him on Tuesday but were
repulsed, Sherman's left reaching the railroad near
Marietta, the object of his movement.

BURNING DEAD BODIES ON THE HOOOHLY,
Lard STANLEY asked the Secretary of State for India
whether it was true that the government of Bengal had
imr.ed an order prohibiting the burning of deed bodies on
the brinks of the Hooghly river, and whether the terms of
that order, and the reasons on which it was based, had been
made know oto him ; and, if so, whether there was any
objection to nicks them public.
B.ff G. WOOD said no despatches had bum received on
the subject, but what he believed bad ha peed was this,
that in consequence of the prevalence of the cholera at
Calcutta, and the alarm it created, an order wan Mimed to
prevent the throwing of deed bodies into the river. With
regard to the burning of bodies no order had been Mined,
bet there was a proposal to nine one for providing means
for the burning of bodies at a short distance from Calcutta.
Be, however, had reason to hope that each an order would
not be issued if the objections to it were an skew as had
been represented.

ports was °Deducted.

the factory inspectors on the subject of their reports were
issued nine years ego. They were to the effect that their
reports should be calmly end impartially written, and that
they should avoid controversy of every kind as well as
comments on the decisions of magistrates, and that if they
coosidered any defence of their conduct necessary they
might address separate letters to the Secretary of State.
The hon. baronet was then understood to say that mince the
instructions were issued there had been no occasion to re-
vise them.
Mr. POWELL asked if he had any objection to lay the
instructions on the table
Sir G. GREY said he would amidst whether it was de-
sirable to lay them before the home.

Ilsavene-ofdre.

Mr. HUT said the» was no intention on bin part to

Conservancy Board lambi do so.

ITALIAN XX PORT DUTY ON RAGS.

Mr. BLACK asked the President of the Board of Trade,
as the duty on rags continued to be charged at Leghorn up
to the lith of this mouth, whether he understood that the
duty was abolished by the Italian government, or that there
was an agreement that it was to be abolished, and when.
Mr. M. GIBSON said he did not understand from the in-
formation he had received that the Italian government had
abolished the export duty on rap. A misapprehension had
arisen in consequence of the treaty between France and
Italy being rather ambiguous on the subject. If France had
obtained from Italy the free export of rags, of course we
should have been entitled, under the favoured nation clause,
to the same privilege, but at present the English veers-
went were not informed that the Italian government had
made any charge in the system enforced before the French
treaty was concluded.
