A VOICE FROM THE EXHIBITION.

TEE INDIAN Finuna&--Bir,—The enclosed bill
will explain the object I had in placing the two Indian
figures in the Exhibition, which it seems have got the
enmity of several of the London papers. I claim no merit
for making them, as they are not works of art, the heads
being cast in Outer tram the life. I thought that sym-
pathy. at least, would gain the poor Indian an undisputed
place in the Exhibition, and that, amongst the " Industry
of All Nations," one specimen of native manufacture from
her Majesty's dominions in America might at least be ac-
ceptible amongst the English competitors. The fabric I
'nude to, and for which these figures were introduced, is a
woollen robe worn by the woman, which I will challenge
all the manufacturen of England to copy, and beg your
close attention to it, sir, when you again visit the Exhibi-
tion.—Yours truly, Gao. CATLIN.-6, Waterloo-place, 18th
June, 1851.

VIRCINO DEPARTMENT..

PINERIES.—When bottom-heat is declining, it may
be recruited by surfacing the beds with a few inches of new
tan; as, independently of its own f.:rmentive power, it
absorbs a considerable quantity of heat from the sun,
and attracts the roots to the surface, where they revel
amongst the new materials. In addition to these advan-
tages, it checks evaporation, economises labour in water-
ing, and keeps the roots in a more equable state of
moisture during hot weather. Vineries: Let the Into
vines be supplied with a sufficient amount of heat and
moisture to keep them growing at a healthy rate; and do
not be fearful of the grapes ripening too early, as, by the
retarding process, nothing is gained except ill-flavoured,
bzully-eoloured berries. Grapes intended to be kept through
the winter should be perfectly ripe by the middle of Sep-
tember; and as it is important to the Ilavour that the ripen-
ing process should he gradual, let divot he grown briskly
till they are beginning to change colour, and then, by giving
plenty of air, accompanied by heat, they will ripen tho-
roughly, and hang along upon the vines without shrivelling.
Peach-house : Continue to keep insect, in cheek, using the
syringe freely to keep down the red spider, and tobacco
smoke to destroy thrips. The foliage must be kept healthy,
to ensure success in the crops of this and future seasons.
Should mildew make its appearance in the late house, dust
the plants with sulphur immediately. Melons: Keep up
the top temperature, and a bottom-heat of 8.1 deg., with a
moderately moist atmosphere to the successional plants, and
give occasional waterings.

The bankrupts, a widow and three sons, carried on busi-
ness as bookbinders, in Coleman-street. Their liabilities
are between 30001. and 4006/.; assets about 1100 f. The
accounts had not been filed; but it appearing that the bank-
rupts bad given due diligence, and had been much occupied
in assisting to mall., the property, an adjournment to the
19th of May was ordered, ut the expense of the estate. The
accounts are in course of preparation by 3k. Butler, of

IN RE ENMERTON.
The bankrupt was described as an innkeeper at Woburn
Sands. This was the meeting for the last examination
The balance-sheet, prepared Is) Mr. Maynard, of Bread-
street, extended from the 25th March, A 49, to February
last. Ile owed 959/.; the assets were put down at 2101. lies
profits had been 7.W.; surplus at the commencement of the

vouched, 2521.
Mr. Silvester supported.
Mr. Barron opposed, for the assignees.
The bankrupt, in examination, said he had carried on a
farm of 120 terra, along with his inn; had no plate, except
a few spoons. A year ego he had sold a picture to Mr.
Brown, for 501.; it had been won in a raffle, :tad was then
valued at 150 guineas. Could not state how the 50/. was
paid, but there were accounts between them. Ile attributed
his tailor.) to the coaches having been thrown otf the road,
by the railway, and to the reduction in the prices of agricul-
tural produce.
His Honour said that nine-tenths of the bankrupt's ac-
count was estimated, end the accountant had very properly
distinguished those it. ins which were only estimated in red
ink. his account of the picture was in direct contradiction
to a letter which he had written on the 10th Sept. last, and
which of these two accounts was to be believed ? Ile should
only him to pass, on condition of Mr. Groom, the alleged
purchaser of the picture, being produced at the certificate

SATURD•T EITNINO.
The market for miring shares during the week has
again been characterised by a good deal of activity.
A steady demand has been experienced for shares in
many of the improving adventures, and generally a
considerable amount of business has been done at
rising or firmly (sustained prices. The largest bar-
gains have occurred in Alfred Consols at from 181 to
19, the medium price, 184, being about the present
quotation. Information having been received in
town to-dav that a rich course of ore has been cut
in Tregorifan at the 30 fathom level, the shares were
in great demand, and the price went rapidly up from
74 to 10, at which it was bethre quoted, to 101 to 15.
Dining the week Lewis shares have risen It., and
Iferodsfoot 30s. to 2/. Higher prices have also
been paid for Tremayne, Trelawney. East
Gunnis Lake, Bedford United, and Trefusis.
The only exceptions are Devon Consols, which show
a fall of about 4/. as comixned with last Saturday's
prices, and South Curadon, which are rather worse.

eluded have already been given by us in the course
of the week. Appended is the general list of this

The elections for the new Cortes will take place on
the 10th May, and the chamber be convoked on the
2nd of June. The result is expected to be favourable
to ministers.
The Tattle states that it is authorised to contra-
diet the announcement in the Spanish papers that
M. Minos° Corti.s would he appointed minister of
foreign affairs. Gonzales Bravo and the Duke of
Rivas are talked of as likely to succeed to that post.

advent being found utterly impossible, that sinister
society is doomed.
Talk of conspiracies and secret associations in the
face of this permanent gang of hidden plotters
against all individual and national security. The
foul term cannot touch us. For the recovery of its
existence a nation needs not, does not, conspire. The
hour of deliverance comes round in the appointed
I comae of providential wisdom, and the breath of the
I people is the hurricane that sweeps in purifying blast
over the face of the land. Ile (the Father) never
joined any secret society in his youth, nor would he
now in the maturity of manhood. Ifs knew his
fellow exiles from Italy, and could vouch for the feel-
ings of friendly reverence they bore to the
institutions of this glorious country, which had
sheltered them from the hand of oppression. (Cheers.)
Ile proceeded to stigmatise the Jesuit conspirators at
Friburg and Lucerne. Nor was Switzerland the only
free nation marked out for their intrigues and ma-
lignant activity. The object and obvious drift of the
late aggressive and insulting measures of the Pope
resealed the same agency busily engaged in accom-
plishing here a similar work of discord: into the
details of this often thrashed argument he entered
with all the freshness of indefatigable indignation,
and wielded the flail of his unflagging eloquence,
lielalEuring alternately the Austrian envoy at Rome
(Prince Esterhazy) and the Westminster cardinal,
whose alliance oth nsiie and defensive with the
jesuits he exhibited as a bargain mutually advanta-
geous to the contracting panics, however disastrous
to the interests of true religion, the peace of the
country, and the integrity of the empire.

if lie -Vim York Exprem itblislwstho following:

Frans reliable mum, we learn that the Canadian govern-
ment has resolved to close the Welland Canal against Am,
riegn -sels. This is a measure which, if persisted in, will
intiiet a serious blow on the trade and commerce of the
Liss, affecting materially the prosperity and interests of all
the avenues of trade 1 -.ling from Lake Ontario. Omit ex-
citement prevails at Oswego and other towns connected with
the commerce of the leo, r lake width° river St. Lawrence.
This movement is welt undsrstood to he a retaliatory one
against the United Stmt. government and the state of New
York, in consequence of the former not granting reciprocity
of trade, and the latter shutting out the Canadians from the
free use of Lake Champlain and the Champlain Canal.

The Hermann 's passage has been lengthened, on
account of her having, unfortunately, to tow all up
the Ch: 4 a dismasted and damaged schooner,
the Hope, of Yarmouth, bound from Liverpool to
Holland, with salt. The Hope was tacking across
the Channel on the wind, when the Hermann was
coming up. The ships being nearly together, the'
schooner appeared to be going about, and the Her-
mann kept her course, when the schooner suddenly
filled away again, and came foul of the steamer, and
was dismasted, and her hull seriously damaged. The
crew of the schooner were immediately, got on board
the Ile.mann, and every attention paid to them and
their ship was taken in tow, and brought into Cowes.
Although the fault of Cie accident rests entirely with
the schooner, the American Ocean Steam Navigation
Company have very liberally resolved to be at the
expense of repairing the damage.

. TRANRPORTATION.—THE I.:CKYIELD BCWILARS.—
On Wednesday 13 elate:its sentenced to transportation, in-
cluding the seven I:el:8,1d burglars, were removed from
the Lewes prison to the House of Correction, l'reston, Lan-
cashire, by order of the Secretary of State, there to undergo
18 months' coidinemeut in separate cells. This, we under-
stand (nut authority, is, by recent government arrange-
ments, to form th, first stage in every sentence of transpor-
tation. The second stags is labour upon pu'ilic works in
some convict establishment, which is to continue until the
fir-t half al. the sentence is expired (transportation for life
being rek.in, d2A 21 years.) The last stage is transporta-
tion iloedf, wla n the convict is sent abroad to undergo the
rem.eininx half of his sentence, under circumstances vary-
ing according to his behaviour iu the previous stages. Were
it generally LTIOWO that tninaportation is to be carried out
in this manner, beginning with a long period of separate
confinement, the sentence would not be so lightly thought
of as it sometimes is. The 17ekfi,ld burglars, we are in-
formed, are quite of this mind now, as it regards them-
selves. We are able, however, anal thankful to add that
during this solitary stew. Vac work of instruction, an greatly
necticd by these auras, fur scarcely one of them can read,
will be carried on; and every means used to correct tho
minds and habits of those depraved and unhappy crimi-

THE POLICE COURTS.

WORSIIIP-STREET.

Mary JoAmon, a young woman of very ladylike appear-
ance, and stated to be highly connected, who stood charged
with having feloniously uttered three forged promissory
note* purporting to be drawn by Messrs Blackwood, the
publishers, with intent to defraud Mr. Frank Senior, a
chemist and druggist in the Queen's-road. Dalton was
re-examined.
A gentleman, who announced himself as the solicitor en-
gaged to conduct the case, addretoed the magistrate, and
stated that be had been instructed, on behalf of Mr. Senior,
to express an anxious wish that he might be permitted to
abandon the prosecution. Be had been induced to adopt
that course in consequence of haring instituted a rigid in-
vestigation into the matter since the last examination, the
result of which was such as to satisfy him that the pri-
soner had been the victim of a cruel hoax which had been
practised upon her by
.some designing person, and that
she was under the firm impression, at the time she passed
the notes, that they were the genuine signatures of Messrs.
Blackwood.
. .

Mr. Hammill said that he could not for a moment enter-
tain such an application, and that any ()Nervations in ex.
culpation of the prisoner's conduct had better be reserved
for another tribunal, as he had made up his mind to send
the ease before a jury. Ile should take that opportunity
of referring to a letter on behalf of the prisoner, of a most
unusual character, which had reached him that morning
from the chaplain at the House of Detention. and he could
not but express his extreme surprise at the receipt of such a
communication, from a gentleman holding that position.
He had also received a letter of a very different description
in reference to the prisoner, front a tradesman at Leaming-
ton, but he should abstain, however, from adverting to its
contents, as it conveyed anything but a favourable impres-
sion of her former habits and character.
Sergeant Judge, H 26, informed the magistrate that In-
spector Tarlaton had opened a correspondence with Mr.
Wm. Itoby, superintendent of the Leamington police, who
bad apprised him that the prisoner had practised several
similar frauds upon other tradesmen at that place ; and he
had also received a letter from a silversmith at Birming-
ham, complaining that he had supplied her with goods to
the amount of IU. 10s., which she at ouce converted into
money, and he had seen nothing of her since.
The prisoner, who expensed her intention to reserve her
defence, was committed to Newgate for trial.

ITALY.

The sitting of the 21st of the Chamber of Deputies
of Turin was taken up with the discussion of the
bill for laying a tax upon liberal arts and professions
as well as trades. After the Minister of Finance had
made some observations on the principle of the bill,
the Chamber decided that it would proceed to the
discussion of the articles on the following day.
A letter from Pavia, of the 20th, in the Croce di
&cola, says that Count Gyulay, the military gover-
nor of Lombardy, having appeared in the theatre of
that town on the preceding day, nearly all the spec-
tators left the house. The count, on seeing this,
retired; as for the few spectators who had remained
behind, they were received with hisses by a crowd
in the street, when they came out of the theatre.
The count was highly incensed at this behaviour,
and threatened to declare Pavia in a state of siege,
if such an affront were repeated. He accordingly
returned to the play on the following night, but
whether the public was differently composed or the
same, nothing of the kind occurred.

SAITatIAT EYVIING.
The papers publish daily the accounts which ar-
rive of the opinions expres;ed by the councils of ar-
rondissement on the subject of revision. livery re- '
markable expression in favour either of revision
►imply or of revision to the intent that Louis Na-
poleon may he re.c:igible, or of total revisiun, which
is understood to mean a return to monarchy, is
eagerly seized upon as evidence of the opinion of the
nation by some one or more of the journals. accord-
ing to their polititst. There are 344 councils of ar-
rondissement, of which not more than about 100 have
yet poinouneed. I shall send you the general result
of the manifestation as soon as it is known, fur no
satisfactory inference can be drawn front the isolated
reports as they arrive day by day. There can be
little doubt but that the majority of the arrondisse-
ments will pronounce in sonic form or other for re-
vision, but the important qualification of their desires
contained in the words " legally" or " regularly" will,
I believe, very generally evince the opinion that the
constitution must not be violated. Of more impor-
tance will be the proceedings of the councils-general,
whose meetings will begin on the 20th. Last year
IA out of the ti 2 of these recorded their wishes that
the constitution should be revised. This year ex-
traordinary efforts will be made both by the Bona-
partist' and the Berryer legitimists to obtain the
vigis of a still larger number to that effect. In fact
the main foundation for the hopes of those who think
it yet possible that the revision may be carried in
November, are mainly founded upon the immense
pressure of public opinion which would be implied
by anything approaching to unanimity in the coon-
cils-generaL They are bodies consisting for the
most part of the most respectable and wealthy
men of all ranks and callings in their neigh-
bourhood. And it is well worthy of remark
that universal suffrage has made very few
changes in the composition of the councils-general.
The rich proprietor, noble or plebeian, legitimist or
Orleanist, liberal, or illiberal, catholic or latitudina-
rian, who was chosen by the privileged few who ex-
ercised restrictive suffrage, has everywhere been re-
eleettd by the masa of his neighbours on whom the
republic of 1848 conferred the right of voting. The
able agriculturist. the extensive manufacturer, the
large merchant, the notary, the doctor, the "juge de
pant," have all, generally speaking, retained their
seats at the hoard of these local councils.
It is said to-day that the Count de Chambord has
summoned the principal legitimist leaders to a con-
ference on the subject of the Prince de Joinville
having become a candidate for the presidency.

HOPE V BEADON.

Mr. Ball and Mr. Barstow were counsel for the plain•
tiff; and Mr. Serjeant Kinglake and Mr. Phian for tho
defendant.

This was an action brought by the executors of the late
Mr. T. Hope, an attorney, to recover a sum of 1801. front the
defendant as one of the provisional committee of the Chep-
stow and Forest of Dean Railway Company (one of the
numerous lines projected in 1014 or 1115, but which was not
proceeded with), for work and labour done for the company
in preparing books of reference, &co of part of the line. This
case had been tried at the last assizes, when a verdict was
found for the plaintiff; but a new trial was moved ter and
obtained on the ground of the improper rejection of evidence.
The main struggle in the case wan, whether Mr. Hope, who
was a young man, and had served his articles with a Mr.
Phelps, an attorney at Newport, hail, in doing the work in
question, acted as clerk to Mr. Phelps, who was the solicitor
to the company, or whether Mr. Phelps hail engaged hint
on behalf of the company.
Mr. Phelps was called, and swore distinctly that he had
engaged Mr. Hope with the sanction of the provisional eons-
mittee ; but it appeared that he had sent in a bill to the
company headed, "The Chepstow and Forest of Dean
Railway Company, in account with Mr. Phelps, in which
Mr. Hope's demand was entered ' • but he stated that he did
this in consequence of having been requested to stud in all
claims for which the company was liable.
Evidence was given to show that Mr. 13tholon was one of
the provisional committee, and had heal present at many
of the meetings of the provisional committee up to the time
of the railway company having been wound lip.
Mr. Sergeant Kinglakc, in addressing .he jury for the de-
fendant, did not dispute that the work was dune, but con-
tended that the defendant was not liable' on the round that
the provisional committee bad nothing to do with the ap-
pointment of Mr. Hope, but that lie was a mere clerk to
Mr. Phelps, and that Mr. Phelps was the only person
with whom the provisional committee hail had anything
to do, or had authorised in any way to do the work in
question.
The learned scijeant called Mr. Simpson, one of the
company's solicitor,. and also Mr. Fitzsvilliam, of the com-
mittee, who insisted that the committee hail always repu-
diated Mr. Hope's claim ; and it was further stated by them
that a sum was paid to Mr. Phelps which was to include
Mr. Hope's charges.
Mr. Butt replied.
The Lord Chief Justice was summing up the evidence,
when the jury interrupted him, by returning a serlict for
the plaintiff tor 1811.
