TRACTARIANISS.—THE BISHOP OF BATH AND
WELLS AND Lay INTEILFERENCE.—A correspondence has
just closed between the bishop and the Bath Lay Church of
England Protestant Defence Association. An address was
agreed upon and sent to the bishop, in which they say:—
" We, the undersigned lay members of the united church
of England and Ireland resident at Bath (constituting a
committe for the defence of the protestant faith), sym-
pathising with many of our brethren in the apprehension
excited by the prevalence of certain Romanising principles
aid practices which are adverse to the protestantion of the
established church, and looking to our bishop for the aid of
his counsel, the benefit of his example, and the intluence of
his authority, venture to request your lordship to meet the
exigency of the case, by i*oing, upon the subject of truth-
Autism, as it is termed, such a declaration of your send-
meets as may serve to allay the anxiety whim, more or
kr% is agitating all parts of the diocese. We do not
ignore the fart that, upon this matter, an address to your
lordship has already been presented, nor do we overlook the
circumstance of its entire failure of success; hut, as we are
unwilling to suppose that, upon the occasion in question, the
rejection not eon& mnation of the address were either of
them meant to cast a doubt upon the propriety, or to imply
a denial of the right of lay appeal, we do not hesitate
respectfully to oiler our petition fur a public ex-
pression of your lordship's sentiments upon it question
at this crisis, of so much importance and of such absorbing
interest." To this address, which was signed by between
60 and 70 of the most influential members of the church of
England residing in Bath, his lordship returned a bare ac-
knowledgment of the letter which accompanied the address.
W. T. Blair, Esq., the chairman of the association, subse-
quently addressed another letter to his lordship, iu which,
after acknowledging the receipt of the bishop's note, ho
says I am requested by our Protestant Delenco Mao-
ri ttion respectfully to inquire (as your lordship does not
refer to our address) if we are to consider your lordship's
note as final, or whether we may hope to be favoured with
any communication on the subject of the address which I
had the honour to transmit to your lordship ?" The bishop,
who writes from Brighton, replied:—" Sir —I beg to ac-
knowledge your letter, which I am compelled to answer by
deputy, being entirely disabled from making use of my
right hand. It is not my intention to make any publte
statement of my views with regard to the subject of the
address recently put forth by the Bath Protestant Associa-
tion ; therefore, I have only to repeat my acknowledgment
of your two letters, which I have received from you, es
chairman of that committee.—l ani, Sir, your faithful ser-
vant (Signed) it. BATH AND WELLS."

Tilaati:ivuirrt.us' Acs-.—A government bill is
at present before parliament to renew and amend the act of
1814, regarding the coalwhippers of the city of London,
which will expire at the end of the present session. Under
its clauses the Board of Trade and the corporation arc
respectively to appoint four persons, who, with the chair-
man of the shipowners society, are to constitute the commis-
sion. They are to nominate a registrar at a salary not
exceeding 4001. per annum, who is to issue certificates of
registration to coalwhippers at a charge not exceeding four-
peuev—new certificates,i however, not being requisite for
persons possessing them under the provisions of former acts.
The penalty for misrepresentation on the part of applicants
is to be 20s. Persons acting as coalwhippers, without a
certificate, are to be liable to a penalty of 21., and a shipmaster
employing them, to a penalty of 10/., except they are part
of his crew or are dock labourers, or unless the regular
coalwhippers shall have demanded a price beyond his
tender, and ho can find others to accept wages not exceed-
ing the sum so demanded. The charge for tackle and
implements is fixed at ss. per camo for vessels under 260
tons, and is. 6d. for those of larger burden. All wages and
charges are to be paid to sonic person authorised by the
commissioners, the men being paid at the otfiet, subject Vs
a deduction not exceeding one farthing in each shilling,
while any undiv/sible fractions in connexion with such pay-
ments are to be appropriated, together with all penalties
recovered under the act, to fund- for their benefit. The
moneys otherwise received arc to discharge the expenses of
the establishment (including 2501. a-year to be divided
among the commissioners fur their attendance), any excess
being ultimately applied to lessen the rate of deduction from
the wages of the men. The shipowners of the northern
porta, who seem to appreciate free trade when it goes with
their own interests, have during the early part of this week
been signing petitions to the Rouse of C 019.11110011 against Itto
re-enactment of this act.

THE ROYAL PROCESSION.

The history of this eventful May:day

to the

with the royal procession from
Great Exhibition building.
The day opened beautifully flue. It was one of the
" Queen's days." In the morning the atmosphere was
clear and crisp ; the sun shone brightly; and there was
every indication that, even with regard to her climate,
Imilmed would on this occasion look her best. This
lienseat and promising state of things continued up to about
11 o'clock. The sky then became slightly overcast; light
clouds floated about—therelics of April straying into May—
and about half- past eleven o'clock a sprinkling shower fell
over the parks ; but it was the shortest shower of the
spring, and it ceased exactly and precisely as the proces-
sion was about to start. It then continued tine until the
royal cortege reached the Crystal Palace. Ger Majesty rode
on her way, in the midst of her English subjects,
favoured with the most unequivocal English sunshine.
_

All pedestrian London flocked into the parks. From 6
o'clock in the morning the population of tho Surrey side
poured across the bridles; the hordes of the far East preci-
pitated themselves into Holborn and the Strand; and at 8 and
9 Piccadilly and Oxford-street, Parliament-street, and tho
Kensington-road, presented one densely-packed mass of
human beings—all intent upon one object—to see the
Palace, and, if possible, at the same time, to see the
Queen; but, at any rate, determined to see what was to be
seen. llyde.park filled first. Crowds had rushed in from
the first moment at which the gates had been opened; and
those who got in first found that others had been be-
fore them. St. James's-park was comparatively free
for carriages and equestrians up to 10 o'clock. Not until
apparently the word had been passed that Ilyie-park could
hold no more did the people fall back into the neighbour-
hood of Buckingham-palace. Across the Green park, on

.• •
their way from Westminster-bridge to Hyde-park, some
hundred thousand men, women, and children, might be
aeon to pour fur three consecutive hours up to eleven o'clock.
It was as the flight of locusts—ceaseless and dread-
ful; and, like locusts, they must have destroyed
the grass on their way. These having ascertained that
Hyde-park-turner was impassible, at bast sacrificed the hope
of getting into proximity with the palace, and gradually tilled
the Mall, Constitution-hill, and the ground in front of Buck-
. . . .

_ • -

walk.

In time motion ceased, as if further motion in the densely
packed place were impossible ; and then there was a stilt
orderly mass—eleusest near the front of the palace, but
everywhere dense. To a person standing with his back to
the gates of the royal palace, and facing the Mall,
the spectacle was wonderful. All that was visible was a sea
of heads, hats and bonnets, dotted here and there with a
mounted policeman or guards-trooper, and fringed with the
light foliage of the Mall trees. it is probable that so many
human beings were never, until now, seen together in
London. The must perfect order was maintained throughout.
From the Palace up Constitution-hill to Hyde-park-cor-
ner, the Horse Guards and the police kept a line fur the
procession. The same precautions were taken all
along the route, up Rotteu-row to the build-
ing. We saw no instance of disturbance of any
moment during the whole pluming. The arrangements of
the commissioners oi police were admirable; and though
necessarily defective as regards the carriages, they were
perfectly successful in respect to the pedestrian public.
This, it should be understood, was not a " mob." Well-
dressed gentlemen and Ladies were present in thousands ;
and the female part of the crowd received au amount
of attention honourable to our national politeness.
While the procession was awaited and in progress,
the weaker sea were in front of " the line,"
and everywhere got the best places. The display of para-
sols was, of course, enormous; and as they waved over the
hatted roof of the mob proper, the parti-colours gave the
appearance of shot silk screens. There were not so many
foreigners in the crowd as might have been expected ; but
there they undoubtedly were iu great numbers.
The only houses from the windows of which a sight could
be gut of the prixession are those iu Grosvenor-plate and at
Ityd, park-v.lw, tier,•, however, wero fashionable
throngs, chiefly of ladies, to the very house tops. The root'
of Apsley-house was crowded—a geniality in connexion
with that locality hardly anticipated. The roof
of the keeper's ledge of Hyde-park was packed
111 the same manner. There was, at these points,
• great waving of white ham:kerchiefs; and here,
as the Queen was passing from beneath the Wellington to
the Hyde-park arch,—pedestrians everywhere, horses and
twinges on ouch side, and the houses with their window-
occupants in sight—the scene was the must animated of any
' during the precession. Here, at least, the cheering was
loudest.

The Queen is always punctual, and, precisely at the time
appointed for her setting out—half-past 11—the Horse-
guards widened the path, and the brigaded band of the house-
hold troops within the quadrangle was heard to play " Gixl
Save the Queen." At this moment the new front oldie palace
was put to a use never contemplated by those who have been
so eager in their denunciation of the architect. The many
windows gave to her Majesty's household the opportunity
they never before cujoyixl so perfectly of seeing a state
processsion. The balcony over the centre brouxed gab_
way was occupied by a most interesting party.
the royal children, attended by several ladies. These at-
tracted great attention.
The royal pro. essiuu consisted of seven or tight carriages.
It was, in its order, in many respects different from the
state processious wi;h which we are all familiar on the
occasions of opening or proroguing a session of parliament.
We saw none of the Gentlemen Ushers, none of the Lions
and Yeomen of the Guard. There were trumpeters,
bat we did not hear their trumpets. And, as
this most important distinction, the carriages, even
her Majesty's, were drawn by single ',airs of horses.
Her Majesty's carriage was not the state carriage; but
it was sufficiently open to enable must of her sub-
jects to see her to advantage. The occupants of
the carriages were the Lords and Ladies in Waiting, the
Lords of the Household, the Maids of Honour, with some
of the ladies of the elute of the Princess of Prussia.
The Queen and Prince. Albert were greatly cheered as
th y passed into the Park from the Palace. Her Majesty
and her consort received the srelcomc of the people in a
manner intimating undisguised satisfaction. The carriages
were driven at a rather smart trot along the route, and
thus curiosity was nut so perfectly satisfied as at other
times, when royalty in state presents itself in public.
The Duke of Wellington was very eagerly looked for
among the ladies and gentlemen in the royal carriages, but
he had been before her Majesty, and was already awaiting
her at his post.
The Prince and Princess of Prussia, guests at Buckle-
ham-palace, were also sought for; but they were not ob-
served in the procession. Several of the royal carriages boa
been perceived in the park earlier in the morning, 11511
with officers in the Prussian uniform.
The royal nort,,ge passed in au avenue of human beings
along the whole route. Her Majesty never heard such loud
and lengthened cheers before. Half a million of voices
must have convinced her of her popularity.
Before 8 o'clock this morning tho Kensington and Picca-
dilly line of road presented an almost unbroken double lino
of carriages for three miles. The line commenced
some distance westward of Kensington Church,
and continued without intermission to Slosessolsomb—
between which place and Apsley-house the road was
unoccupied. At Apsley-house the line recommences!,
and one unbroken stream of carriages, still double, ran to
the end of tho Haymarket, the adjacent streets on either
side being also filled. Oxford-street and the Park itself
wore in the same crowded Hate.
Hundred' must have started from their homes at seven,
eight, and Sills in the morning, who could not have reached
the scene of the day's jefe before the afternoon.
As the procession passed on, the " line " behind was,
of course, broken, and for an hour there was great con-
folios. At the Wedlingtonoreb, where the LIMBS, in its
storm to get Into Piccadilly, became choked into a small
brace, this confusion began to look dangerous, and the
sormaing of woman—many of them, with children in.lhoit
erme--sras eppaling. It was impossible that order could have
bass kept under sack circumstances ; and it was not kept.
But the crowds showed Ibis utmost good humour, and rather
cooperated with sea impeded the polio' sad military.

The cvremonial, preparatory to tho opening of the
World's Great Fair, took place under the most brilliant cir
eumstancts. If, amongst any of the inhabitants of " Doubt-

ing Castle " there still lingered the slightest misgivings as
to the success of the Exhibition, " the pomp, the pride, and
circumstances" of the grand inauguration within the build-
ing must have completely dissipated them.
When the procession reached the Crystal Palace the sun
shone forth with peculiar brilliancy, u if the mute statue
of the Apollo Belvidere within the building had been ani-
mated with nmseiousness to gild with his rays the Festival
of Nations, and to greet with his usual favour the Queen
of the British Isles.

Within the building it was quite astonishing to see the
preparation that had been made. At 7 o'clock there wu
nothing unsightly to be seen along the whole range of the
building, and the efforts that must have been made to place
the interior in a such state of preparedness must have been
quite unprecedented in the race of Force against Time.
For the reception of her Majesty a platform was raised to
the north of the centre transept, on which a chair of state,
covered with crimson velvet, with a deep gold border, was
placed. User the chair of state an octagon canopy was
extended, trimmed with blue satin and draperies of blue
and white. Before the chair rose the beautiful glass foun-
tain, glittering as a precious stone in the morning beams.
Behind rose the stems of the Oriental plants and the stately
elm, one of the most agreeable and refreshing parts of the
whole view. Along the galleries of the main western ave-
nue, the department fur British goods, a succession of the
most beautiful carpetry was suspended, like bannerets,
only more splendid, in a knightly hall of old. Along the
foreign avenue everything stood revealed in its best, and
the vista along the whole line was perhaps the most splendid
and extensive, as a piece of art and human contrivance, ever
presented to human view.
To witness such a sight it was to be expected that the
doors of the building would be blockaded at an early hour,
and, indeed, such was the pressure, that the orders
of the commissioners had so far to be departed from that
the doors were opened twenty minutes before the specified
time, Tix., nine o'clock. Then the rush for seats began, and
in the shortest time every good position was occupied. The
ladies were accommodated with seats on the front, the gen-
tlemen standing behind, or occupying the galleries.
liar Majesty's Commissiouers assembled at half-past
' eleven o'clock, in the transept, opposite the platform, to-
' gether with their executive committee, and the foreign
acting corusuissiuuers, in full dress, or in plain evening
deem.

Ms Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, her Majesty's
ministers, the great officers of state, and the foreign ambas-
sadors and ministers, took their places on the platform,
to the right and left of the chair of state in full dress.
amongst the earliest arrivals was the Duke of Wellington,
in military uniform, and with the Order of the Garter.
The noble duke looked remarkably well, and seemed to
enjoy the scene. lie Was the object of particular attention
amongst the fureign portion of the spectators, and by the
British he was received with repeated cheers. Towards 11
o'clock the space around the chair of state began to till.
Amongst those whose early arrival we noticed were the
Archbishop of Canterbury, t he Lord Chancellor, the Ministers
of State, all of whom we believe we recognised as being pre-
sent, with the exception of the Marquis of Lansdowne, the
Duke of Buceleuen, the Duke of Devonshire, the Speaker
of the llous of Commons, the Bishops of Winchester and
Oxford, Lord Stanley, &c. The Prince of Pruaiia, in mill.
Wry attire, arrived about 20 'Mutates to 12 o'clock. As the
hour of 12 approached 11w building was exceedingly
full. The spare around the throne of state at this moment
pre,outed a inmd lively and picturesque appearance, the
various military uniforms coutra,ting most elegantly against
the back ground of green formed by the trees in the tran-
sept. Then were to be seen hurrying to and fro the little
Egyptian, the slim Arab, the sedate Turk, the portly Chi-
nese, the inhabitants of farther and hither Ind, and the
European of all shades and degmes, with the flags of the
various nations flaunting the air outside the transept. We
may truly say of this gorgeous scene of peace and industry,
what had been said of the pump and splendour of military
apparatus—
. . .

• •
" By beaver, It was n sli.rioul sight to ICI
lbw various sea s usisett emurindery."
But the hour of twelve is at hand, and the booming of
the caunon and the 'direction of every cyo towards the
northern entrance of the transept, tell that the QUIVIIL is at
hand. A flourish of trumpets announces that she has
entered the building, and as she moves along to her scat a
shout of Mutation rinis on every side. She comes leaning
on his Royal highness Prince Albert, mid accompanied
by the Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal, and
followed by the ladies in waiting and the various officers
of the household. Iler Majesty and the Prince graciously
acknowledged the manifestations of hearty welcome which
met them on every side. The prince led lice Majesty to the
chair of state, the royal children standing on the right.
11cr Majesty was dressed in pink brocade, shut with gold,
and the prince appeared in military uniform, with the
Order of the Garter. Both looked in the most excellent
health, and seemed greatly to enjoy the splendid scene be-
fore them. The prince stod on the left of her Majesty and
at his left stood the Prince of Prussia. When her Majesty
had taken her scat in the chair of state, the national anthem,
" God save the Queen," was performed, under the direction
of Sir O.'l'. Smart, (organist to her Majesty's Chapel Royal,)
by the choirs of her Majesty's Chapel Royal, St. l'aul's
Cathedral, Westminster Abbey, St. George's Chapel,
Windsor, some of the pupils of the Royal Academy of
Music, with the chorus and part of the band of the Sacred
Harmonic Society, and many other performers, both foreign
and English, accompanied on the organ (built by Messrs.
Gray and Davison) by Mr. Goes (organist of St. Paul's
Cathedral) and Mr. Turle (organist of Westminster Abbey).
His Royal highness then, as the head of the Royal Com
missioners, presented himself, surrounded by the other
Commissioners, before the Queen, and read the report of
their proceedings.
When the l'riuce had concluded the report, Secretary Sir
George Grey handed to her Majesty the reply, which she
read with her usual clearness of tone. During the time
that her Majesty was reading, the most intense silence pre-
vailed throughout the building.
his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury then said the
prayer of inauguration, in which he invoked the Divine
blessing on the peaceful gathering of all nations.
After the prayer, the " hallelujah Chorus," of Handel,
was performed, under the direction of Sir Henry R. Bishop
(the professor of music at Oxford) ; accompanied on the
organ by Dr. Elvey (organist of St. George's Chapel,
Windsor) and Dr. Wylde (professor at the Royal Academy
of Music.

The procession turned to the right, moved to the wi,t
end of the nave by its north side, returned to the east end of
the nave by its south side, including the south end of the
transept, and came back to the centre along the north side
of the nave; thus enabling all those present to see her
Majesty and the procession.
As the procession moved clown the avenues, her pro-
gress was one continued ovation, the cheering and con-
gratulations being taken up, and repeated with increased
vigour, as her Majesty passed by the different sections.
On her Majesty's return to the platform, the Queen de-
clared " The Exhibition opened !" which was announced
to the public by a flourish of trumpets and the firing of a
royal salute on the north of the Serpentine ; whereupon,
the barriers, which had kept the nave clear, were thrown
open, and the public allowed to circulate.
Her Majesty then returned to Buckingham Palace by
the route by which the came.
All the doom, which had been closed at half poet sloven
o'clock, were, upon her Majesty's departure, opened again.

TLIE CORPORATION OF LONDON AND TILE Ex-
lIIIIITION.—Besides the members of the Court of Alder-
men, who will accompany the civic pageant to the crystal
palace at the opening of the exhibition, 40 members of the
Common Council have been appointed by ballot to take
part in the procession: _ _

ARRIVAL OF VlalTOßS.—During the whole of
yesterday unusual bustle and excitement prevailed at
the metropolitan termini of the several railways, in
consequence of the large influx of visitors, who arrived
by hundreds in every train from the early morning
mail until the last train at night, in addition to those who
travelled by special trains. By the North\Vestern Railway
the extra passengers exceeded 5,000; and those who arrived
by the Great Western are estimated at nearly 3,000 more
than the ordinary number. Additional carriages had to be
attached to all the up-trains on the several lines of railway,
and in many instances two engines were required to impel
the monster trains. The Great Northern, Eastern Counties,
South-Western, and South-Eastern (London and Dover) rail-
ways had a large amount of passinger traffic. Those who
arrived by the two lines last-mentioned were principally
passengers by the Ostend, Calais, Boulogne, Havre, and
Dieppe steam-boats. Large musters of the swell mob were
in attendance at the various term , but owing to the excel-
lent precautionary arrangements of the railway and metro-
politan police, their exploits were very limited. 'the steam
vessels from Rotterdam, Ilamburgh, Antwerp, Hull, Edin-
burgh, fie., which arrived in the river, were unusually
crowded with passengers, so that, on a moderate calculation
the number of persons who arrived yesterday by different
conveyances could not have been less than 50,000. In the
vicinity of the termini there is scarcely a bedroom uulet.
From Manchester we learn that up to 4.15 p.m., when the
express train left which brings our report, nearly 300 pas-
sengers had left against 47 the same day last week. On
Monday and Tuesday about three times the number of per-
had left 31ancliester for London by the London nod North
Western trains that left on the same days last week.

ENTERTAINMENT OF TILE OTTOMAN VI•
MOILS BY THE ➢IAYOR OF SOUTHAMPTON.

The arrival of the Turkish frigate, the Feezi-
Baari, with the Turkish contributions fur the exhibition,
was announced in the Express of Saturday. It WWI also
stated that a number of distinguished persons from the
Ottoman dominions had arrived in the frigate, amongst
whom were Vice-Admiral Mustapha I.:101:1, and Germs
letlM Paella. The Vice-Admiral having intimated his
wish to pay his respects to the civic authorities of
Southampton, the Mayor of that town, Richard An-
drews, Esq., invited hint and a distinguished party
,to his suburban residence, near Winchester, on 'fuss-
' day. It was considered that this would be most agreeable
to the distinguished strangers, as they would thus have an
opportunity of seeing I.olllc beautiful 'English rural scenery,
and the splendid architecture of Winchester Cathedral and
College.
Admiral Mustapha Pacha, (lemeledin Pacha, Captains
Shamsi and Mal ed By, and another of the officers of
the frigate, accompanied by M. Joon:lain, the Ottoman
Vice Consul, arrived at the Southampton Railway Station
for the purpose of proceeding to Winchester ut 12 o'clock
on Tuesday. They were dressed in the uniform of the
Ottoman navy, and were all decorated with large circlets
of diamonds. Mustapha Pacha had been on a railway 12
years ago, but none of the others had nny conception what
it was like, and they were delighted with its swiftness and
comfort. On arriving at the Winchester station car-
riages were in readiness to take them to the Mayor's
residence. This dwelling is beautifully situated on
a lofty eminence nut of the town, having a commanding
prospect of the I tchen Vale, and a view of Oshonw Palace
and the Isle of Wight in the distance. When they alighted,
they were received by the Mayor in his official robes;
Sampson Payne, Esq., High Sheriff; John White, Esq.,
Senior Bailitf; Charles Deacon, Esq., Town Clerk ; J. 11.
Stebbiu, Esq., President of the Southampton Chamber of
Commerce; and It. Croskey, Esq., the American Consul ;
Captain Sands and Lieutenant Liner, of the United States
frigate, St. Lawrence ; and a number of other gentlemen.
Atter taking some refcishment, the mayor and a large
party escorted the Turkish grandees to Winchester Cathe-
dral. They were admitted at tke grand entrance, and the
Turks were immediately struck with its lofty and
beautiful proportions. They declared it, however,
much inferior in magnitude to the celebrated Ma-
honimedan mosque of St. Sophia, at Constantinople.
They paid particular attention to the monuments, and
especially admired the statues of the armed and mailed
warrior knights who fought in Palestine. The grotesque
carving and statuary excited their curiosity, and they
listened with apparent interest to the description given of
the dwarf monks praying at the feet of William of Wyke
ham. Mr. Moody, the well titmice antiquarian of Win-
chester, politely attended to explain the antiquities of the
cathedral. Perhaps there was never before seen a group
of Moslems of such high rank examining with respect and
interest a Christian temple, and their appearance in the
cathedral with their heads covered with the fin excite)
great curiosity. After examining Winchester College,
with which they appeared gratified, they returned to the
mayor's at about 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
Here a cold djetiner was provided for them, in a beauti.
ful apartment overlooking a large tract of varied scenery; a
table was laid fin. about 30 persons, and covered with
viands. The utmost care was observed to put nothing on
the table forbidden by Mohammedan tastes or prejudices.
The ibje:irier consisted of roast beef and chickens, roast
lamb, gelatine of veal, rais-il French pies, plover eggs,
jellies and creams, ornamental pastry, lobster salads, plain
salads, all kinds of cakes and confectionery, and of greets
and preserved fruits. Amongst the wines and lieverages
was sherbet. Gemeledin Paelm, who is a general of divi-
sion, and member of the Turkish Admiralty Board, had
precedence, on account of his rank, of Admiral Mustapha
l'acha, and sat at the right of the mayor. Alter the rks
jc,laer coffee and smoking were introduced, in compliment
to the Oriental guests.
Assam as the cloth was removed, the Mayor rose and
proposed the health of the " Queen," to whom all in this
country owed allegiance, and who deserved and received
the homage of all who visited this country front distant and
foreign lands. The " Health of Prince Albert" was then
proposed by the Mayor, who eulogised the illustrious con-
sort of her Majesty na the originator of one of the grandest
gatherings of the nations. The next toast was the " Sultan
of Turkey," the promoter of civilisation, and who was re-
nowned fur his justice and generosity. Mustapha l'aehu
returned thanks for the honour that hail been done
his sovereign and expressed the admiration he felt
for the Queen of Great Britain. The whole
of the Turkish officers rose sad bowed their reverence. The
toast of the President of the United States was responded to
by the American Consul, who gratefully alluded to the pre-
sence of Turks and Americans, from the far East and West,
partaking of the princely hospitality of the chief magistrate
of Suuthsmpton, while on a mission of peace and amity to
this great country. The next toast was the distinguished
Turkish guests. Mustupha l'acha again returned thanks
for the honour, the other Turkish officers standing, anti
bowing to the company. Admiral Mustapha Paella soon
afterwards rose, and pledged the health of the Mayor. A
number of other toasts were drunk, and responded to by
various gentlemen in the company.
The Turks appeared much interested with the English
custom of pledging healths, and the cheering, huzzaing,
and music honours by which it is accompanied.
'The Mayor and his guests left Winchester for South-
ampton at 7 p.m., to preside in Southampton at a
musical festival in honour of a charitable institution.
Accompanied by the Turkish officers, he proceeded on their
arrival in that town to the concert room. The Turks sat on
his right and left hand on au elevated platform, and re
mained about an hour listening to about 60 musicans per-
forming selections from Randers "Messiah" and other
pieces of sacred music. They were cheered immensely by a
large audience on their entrance and exit. On their de-
parture Admiral Mustapha Puha addressed the audience,
and expressed his delight at the reception he bad ex-
perienced since his arrival at Southampton. The Mayor
and the Ottoman Vico Consul escorted them to the frigate
Feet Baari, at 9 o'clock in the evening.

VISIT OF THE

CORPORATION TO

TELE TURICISII Fatu.sve.—Yesterday the state visit of the
mayor and corporation was paid to the Turkish frigate.
The mayor, aldermen, and common councilmen assembled
at the audit-house at one o'clock in the afternoon, and pro-
ceeded to the Southampton Docks in their official robes,
accompanied by their officers bearing their regalia. They
were conveyed in barges on board the frigate, and were re-
ceived by the two paellas and a guard of honour. When
all had assembled in the saloon of the frigate an address
was presented to the nachos by the town-clerk, conveying
to them the congratulations and welcome of the corporate
authorities. Admiral Mustapha Pacha, in reply, assured
the mayor and corporation that he thanked them from his
heart for the kindness he and every one on board the Feces
Saari had experienced from the authorities and people of
Southampton. He spoke highly of the facilities the port
had afforded him. A salute of 21 guns was then bred, the
Turkish band on board, consisting of about thirty per-
formers, playing " God save the Queen" at the same time.
A salute in honour of the Sultan of Turkey followed.'
Smoking and refreshments in the oriental style were intro-
duced, and the Southampton autherities, Oki' remaining
about an hour, took their leave. On their embarkation
another salute was fired. In the course of the visit the
mayor received a present of a cabinet, ornamented with
brilliants. The pashas were to land in the course of last
evening and proceed Ut London. by train, and the frigate
wee to leave fOr Woolwich last night.

appeared twee
at Margate is in a good condition ; that the
warm baths were now being put into order, at an expense
of about 251. ; and that the linen and other necessary furni-
ture are in good order. The assets belonging to the institu-
tion consist of the sum of 1,3001. three per cent. consols,
known as the permanent fund ; a legacy of 1,0001. three
per cent. consols, payable at the death of a
lady, now about sixty-five; and of another legacy
of 1001., under the will of P. 8. Mann, Esq. ;
that the debts and liabilities, including salaries to officers to
Midsummer next, due from the institution, amount to the .
sum of about bOOl. In order to clear oft' this debt the report
suggests the propriety of selling out the 1,3001. Three per
Cent. Consols, and to pay over the balance of 5001. to the
Messrs. Willis, Percival, and Co., to the credit of the insti-
tution, such balance to be used in carrying out the objects
of the charity. The report recommends that a committee
be formed to revise the rules and general management, and
report to an extraordinary general court in London;
that the medical and house staff of the infirmary re-
main for the present as it now is, and that the
regulation be enforced which prohibits the resident surgeon
from tbllowing private practice during the time the Infir-
mary is open. The committee conclude their re port by
regretting the unfortunately depressed state of the finances,
which compelled them to recommend, through motives of
prudence, that the opening of the Infirmary ter the recep-
tion of patients should be delayed for a few weeks, or such
other period as the directors might think expedient.
Mr. JOSItUA WADDING-IGN, consulting surgeon to
the infirmary, urged the absolute necessity of rendering the
benefits to be dented front the association available all the
year. He had been actively engaged at Margate in his pro-
fession fur the last one-and-twenty years, and experience
had convinced him that anything short of keeping the
infirmary open all the year round would be found ineffi-
cient. 'theirs was a London institution at the ma side nut
merely for the cure of scrofula, but for the treatment of other
diseases. Scrofula was not to be cured by a few mouths' resi-
dence at the institution; lie had seen many come and go year
after year but no cure was effected. Ile felt d, ep regret
at the state of the finances' and felt assured that if our
gracious Queen and Prince Albert were appealed to they
would conic forward in their supportof so God-like an insta-
tution. Ile believed, with one or two exceptions, Margate
was the most healthy place in England, and that out of
population of 12,1100 there were nut 12 eases of scrofula.
Mr. TIDE) PRATT expressed his regret at the falling off
in the subscriptions and donations to such an admirable in-
stitution ; the last year was the most unpropitious they had
ever had. To remedy this state of things he fully con-
curred in the suggestion contained in the report, that the
1,300/. be no longer a permanent fund, but that the 8001.
uebt be liquidated and the institution start a-fresh with the
5001. its was of opinion that the efficient set-tices of the
Neeretary were ill requited, but he strongly objected to a
per centge being paid to that officer on all monies received,
which had been practised Oven to the amount paid by pa-
tients for board.

Mr. WADDINOTON ramarked that ho always under-
stood the institution was intended for the indigent pour,
hut he found that one-half of the patients paid. Sonic two
year. ago, M. Cloquet, the eminent French professor, 'mule
a journey to England to inspect the Itojul Sea-bathing
Infirmary, and he extirt,ssed his approbation of it in the
I warmest terms, and expressed a with that France would
•.,

not long continue w ninon. a similar institution ; but when
the KWIC gentleman was informed that the patients only
remained a portion of the year, and that many of theta
paid for what they had, he was equally strung in his con-
demnation as he had formerly been in his approval.
The Rev. W. CURLINU observed that it never was
the intention of the institution to receive any other patients
than those who laboured under scrofula; and he, as gover-
nor, would never satictimt a deviation from the original
purposes of the institution ; for those who have in any de-
gree attended on the afflictions of their fellow creatures,
ill the metropolis or its crowded environs, must have ob-
' served, with lielings of regret, how many have been
dragging on a miserable existence front the dreadful effects
ut that terrible disease. It had been proved that medicine
could du little for this disorder, and that the reinefly uni-
versally recommended -bathing. lie wall glad to
have the opportunity at so larva meeting, to disabuse their
minds as to the infirmary being for general purposes.
After some further proceedings the report was received
and adopted. Subsequently a resolution was adopted,
cm-
poweriug the directors elect to sell out the 1,3001. three per

IiternEsENTATIoN OF THE ISLE OF WICHIT.—Mr,
C. C. Cavendish, a burri.ter, mid son of Sir A. Clifford,
Hart., has just issued an address to the electors of the
island. Mr. Clifford states that he stands on protestant,
free trade, and liberal principles. Ile is at present the only
candidate in the field ; but a protectionist oppuneut (Mr. T.
W. Fleming) is spoken of.
EQUALIZATION Ol THE LAND TAX.—Yesterday,
ii iodine miming of the inhabitants of the old Artillery-
ground, in the Liberty of the Tower of Loudon, was held
at the Court House, Fort-street, Spann-it:lds, for the pur-
pose of coneidering the propriety of "memorializing the
commiesioners of the land tax un the subject of the unequal
proportion of the land tax payable" by that liberty. Mr.
Hodgson was culled to the chair. The chairman stated that
thee had met bur the purpose of taking measures to do away
with the inequality which subsisted in reference to the land
tax. At present, the liberty iu which they resided, where
the population war small, mid far front being wealthy, was
assessed at a rate of 2s. 3d. in the pound, whereas others in
the same county were rated 101 low 1.1., 2d. per pound. Ile
asked if there was any justice or any equality lucre ? By a
calculation made, it appeared that if the tax were equalised
over the Tower Ilainkts, the rate would only lie rild. in the
(ound. They had uu desire to get quit of their legitimate
burdens, and if they were only rated fairly and
equally with other parishes they would have no
reason to complain ; hut so long as the matter rewaiued on
such a footing of glaring inequality, they were entitled to
call on the commissioners to atthril them the relief which
they had it in their power to bestow. The eutumiesioneu
had full power to equalise the tax. In support of this huge-
meld, he quoted from the act of parliament itself, and re-
!erred to a recent derision on the subject in the Court of
Q 111201.3 Bench. The case alluded to was that of needier
Havendoe, in the county of Lincoln, in which the Lord
Chief./ ustiee had hot only said that the commissioners
possessed the power to equalise the tax, but strongly ad-
vised them to do so. Lord Campbell had mid—. If the
commissioner wish to have our opinion of what they ought
to do, 1, fur one, should huve nu difficulty iu expressing
that opinion, became., although the assessments upon
the counties are perpetual, whatever varieties) there
may he in the value of property, still, within the division
there ought to be on equal pound rate, and it is in their
power to make the usseument equal within the division,
and they certainly might have done mom than they have
done." in the opinion of the Lord Chief Justice, the
bench had unanuuouely concurred. Ile trusted they
would be able to make such representations to the com-
missioners as would induce them to equalise the burden.—
Mr. Edmunds moved that a memorial should be presented
to the Land Tax Commissioners, praying fur an equalise
lion of the lund tax within the division of the Tower
Ilaunlets.—Mr. Senecal seconded the resolution, which was
put and unanimmuly carried.—Mr. I)uthuit then read a
memorial to the meeting, which ho proposed should be
signed by the chairman and other iuhabitants, and for-
warded without delay to the commissioners. The memo-
Del represented that land tax assessed on the Old Artil-
lery Ground required a rate of 2s. 3d. in the pound per
annum on the value of the property therein, while
in the neighbouring parishes of Shureditch and Bethnal-
green the assessment did not exceed sixpence in the pound,
and other parishes in the metropolis were contributing only
a nuomival rate; that the assessment on the Old Artillery-
ground was the highest of any place in the Tower Ilamlets;
that all objection would be re ed, and justice would be
done to all parties, by the substitution of an equalised in
place of the present unequal rate ; and that it appeared by
a recent decision in the courts of law that the commie-
mers had full power to equalise the rate within their re-
spective local districts. The memorial concluded by pray-
ing the commissioners to afford the memorialists such relief
u the justice of the case required.—Mr. 'lodges seconded
the adoption of the memorial, which was likewise unani-
mously agreed to. A vote of thanks to the chairman closed
the proceedings.
A HUROL.tit KILLED BY A POLICEMAN.—II will
perhaps be in the recollection of our readers that early on
the 20th of March, two burglars, named George Wood alias
Arthur Key, and Mark Smith, were apprehended on the
premises of Mr. Stackhouse, at Walsall, which they had
entered from St. Paul's-row, for the purpose of committing
a felony. The superintendent of politic, two pence
efficere and the superintendent's son, who had seecived
information of what was intended, surprised the two
men, who were about to make their escape, when Key
was captured by Superintendent Armislutw and Police
Serjeant Smith, whilst Policenacut Wood and the Superin-
satendaanut's n

man Wood shouted to Serjeant Smith to stop him,
when the prisoner Smith, who had a large stick
in his hand, struck at the officer twice, who in self-
defence inflicted a blow on the prisoner's head with his
cuts,' and knocked him down. They were then both taken
to the station-house, and Mr. Whyosper, surgeon, was sent
for, who dressed the prisoner's head, and attended him
until he was committed to Stafford gaol on a magistrate's
warrant. While at gaol he was attended by the surgeon,
until the 17th inst., when he died. On Saturday last an
inquest wu held on the body at the county gaol, before Mr.
W. Ward, coroner. A post martens examination of the body
had been rude by Mr. Hughes, surgeon, who after detailing
the nature and extent of the wound, stated that he had no
doubt the 0111A11a of death resulted from the fracture of the
skull. Other witnesses were examined, when the inquiry
was adjourned to Friday, on which day the jury returned
a verdict of "justifiable homicide." The prisoner Key was
tried at the quarter session', at Walsall, on Thursday, co
the charge of assaulting the police in the execution of
ir
duty, end sentenced to be transported for ten years.—
