the importance of doing their utmost to mist each other,
according to the principles might to be inculcated by this
society.—The motion warn carried unanimously, and at was
also resolved, " That in consequence of the overcrowdedattate
of the labour market, and the great distrem which existed in
all parts of the metropolis, it was the duty of all right-
thinking men to support a society where the cMects
were for the benefit of their fellow-men ; and that
in consequence of the cruelty and unfeeling manner in which
the deeerving poor are treated when out of employment, by
being placed on a level with criminals, a society of this na-
ture was essentially necessary." The sperchee in which these
resolutions, were proposed end seconded were all of the
briefest description; but the best understanding seemed to
prevail throughout the meeting, which consisted exclusively
of working men, and there appeared to be a general feeling
in favour of the movement for promoting the advantages of
emigration by moons of mutual amistanoe.

TO-DAY'S PROCEEDINGS.

A pleaaanter morning for the opening of the
festival could not have been desired. While the sun is height
end the sky almost clondkre, a cool Idame from the
eolith-east moderates the temperature, and relieves
the visitor from the many unplesaentnessee peeuv
liar to a hot summer's day. The taloa began to run
from the London-bridge station ea early ea eight o'clock,
end even at that hour were well freighted. As the morning
advanced the crowds increased, reaching a citrons at
stout eleven. From that time down to the last train
before the commencement of the performances the numbers

gradually decreased. no 1111111, however, was quite full,
and a good deal of excitement was occasioned by the general
anxiety to obtain seta. The visitors, mut would be expected,

ware M tha higher ranks of ariiety,
disdain the comparatively plebeian vehicle—the caband the
rushing to and fro of those metal conveyances gave a
bewildering aspect to the vicinity of the railway station. The
Crystal Palace line, of course, comes in fur the greater share
of the profit of the traffic ; but the conveyances which have
boon put on the road have been liberally patronised. Of

;did not

comma also many have put in requisition their private car-
riage', and have driven in from the various suburbs. So
much has thia been the sae, that the mute at one
period of the morning minowhat resembled the Clapham-
rood on the Derby day, minuet however, those eccentricities

Ear which that great toceaato • ti:bas ever been famous:

The securskii trains which are running from the north
appear to be a gamma ; and they certainly contribute
in a very noticeable manner to the assemblage at Sydenham.
The complete triumph of the rehearsals on Saturday has afro
removed the doubts which might have prevented some from
undergoing the fatigue of the journey, and the desire now
felt to participate in the festival la greater than ever.
The praise which we bestowed upon the railway arrange-
ments of Saturday is equally deserved to-day. There was

no confusion that need alarm the most timid, and it is to be
hoped that the same order sill be observed throughout the
week.

Mr. Costa's imperil* fortes were at tho Palace very early,
and the systematic manner in which they took up
their positions in the colossal amphitheatre was one of
the topics of convereatica before the oratorio begnO. Everyone
seemed to know Moor her place, and the half-dozen attend.nta
were amply sufficient to prevent any mistake. As on Satur-
day, Mr. COtitiell appearance was the signal for an outburst
of applanac, and the clapping of hands, from the
orchestra, produced a most singular effect. The Arrsoiah,
the oratorio of the day, was listened to with the
deepest admiration, and fastidious critics acknowledged
that the blemishes which they could detect on Saturday
were to -day but insignificant.
The fountains will play this afternoon at the conclusion of
the performance.

PARIS, SVtDAT lIIINTgO.

Letters from Berne, speaking much in the same
tone em the lidefiraPhie dsspateh of the Mb, repre-
sent public opinion u net greatly opposed" to the
combinatimm by which the powers have placed the
two parties in • position to end their difihrenees, but
one question is said to be yet doabtfttl, namely, whe-
ther the Swim government will accept the preposi-
tions on its own responsibility, or whether it will
refer them to the sonsideration of the Federal As-
sembly. On this point opinions are reported to be
much divided. Dr. Kern bad an interview with M.
Fornerod, the President of the Confederation, imme-
diately on bis arrival at Berne on the 23rd, end,
was to be expected from the views he manifested in
Paris, warmly recommended the adoption at the
propeeitions.
A quarrel of infinitesimally small proportions, but
somewhat similar in its nature to that which so nearly
caused a war between Prussia and Switzerland, is
now inviting the attention of diplomacy in another
direction. The little communes of Means and
Requebrune, which before 1848 belonged to the
Prince if Monaco, were then to their own gnat sa-
tisfaction annexed to Sardinia. The Prince of Mo-
naco lately addressed a menweld to the courts of
Europe on the subject, to which the Sardinian ca-
binet has just replied hi a note, insisting that the
Grunaklis of Menace wereaever, of right, sovereigns
of Menton and Roquebenne, which were always fiefs
dependent spon the crown of Sardinia. The annexa-
tion of 1848 was therefore nothing more than a
meninption by Sardinia of its ancient rights, and
the utmost that the Prince of Monaco can claim as
'a natal is a pecuniary indemnity which the Sar-
dinian government is disposed to grunt if he will
moderate his pretensions. The only serious part of
this business is that Austria, not to lose an oppor-
tunity of being disagreeable to Piedmont, supports
the claims of the high and mighty house of

NICARAGUA.

We have two week.' iet;; intelligence from
Walker's headquarters at Rivas. It seems that in
consequence of sickness, desertions, and other en-
feebling causes, General Walker had determined to
leave Rivas and attempt to reach San Juan del Sur,
from which he might easily leave the country. With
this intention he on the 16th of March took with
him the principal portion of his remaining force,
leaving a mall portion under General Haulm
to hold it in case he was obliged to fall back.
at San Jorge he heard that the allies were in
the neighbourhood of Rivas, and returning,
succeeded in preventing them from occupy-
ing it. His position there, however, is no better
than when he deemed it necessary to leave it. There
had been no fresh engagements on the San Juan
River. The men under Colonel Lockridge's com-
mand were still stationed at Serapiqui and on the
island at the month of the river San Quite.

SOUTHAMPTON, SATURDAY
The Medway has arrived with the &oath Ase-
rims math. Her data are—Buenos Ayres, eth
Mardi ; Rio, 17th March ; Lisbon, 19th April.
Amore her cargo are diamonds valued at 60,001,1.
The gelation of the day at Rio is still the legality
or illegality of Protestant marriages. The Imperial
Railroad af Peter the Second is completed to a die-
tines of sixteen miles. About twenty deaths from
yellow fever occur daily in Rio. The various mar-
kets have been dull, except the coffee market. The
Medway took out favourable news, and about
90,000 bags were sold. Supplies were fres, and of
exmalsist quality.

ilis wiathe; was favourable. Exchange on
London, 221 to 271.
At Belk, March 21, freight/ were looking better.
Small vessels would command Os. per ton for the
Chianti. A vemsel was taken up for Liverpool at
30s. per ton for sager, and a halfpenny per pound
for cotton. Exchange had been Ratter since the
receipt of the Medway's letters from Rio. Money
offered at 271 for the end of the month, and about
18,00 W. done on the 21st at 28d. for cash,

From Pernambuco we learn that • great deal
of business had been done in white and brown sugar
daring the month at advanced prices. Cotton had
advanced. Seven or eight vessels had been char-
tered at from 40s. to 38s. per ton for the Channel.
Exchange on London, at 80 and 90 days, 271 to 271.
The exchange transactions in the ports of Rio,
Bahia, and Pernambuco, transmitted by the Med-
way, are very large, and amount to one million and
a half sterling.
_ . _

From Lisbon it is confirmed that the Portuguese
government has contracted provisionally, subject to
the approval of Cortes, with Sir Morton Peto, for
the construction of the new Portuguese railway,
and instead of the guarantee of • fixed
rate of interest on the capital employed as first sti-
pulated by Sir Morton Peto, the system of the
payment of a subvention has been decided upon.
The government will pay 6,6001. per kilometre, ono-
half of the estimated value, conceding the line for
99 years, but always reserving the right of buying
it at the end of 30 years. Sir Morton Peto also
takes the line which is completed from Lisbon to
Carregedo, at the • valuation of 660,0001., the traw-
action lying solely between himself and the govern-
ment, who engage to settle all the businees con-
nected with the transfer, and all outstanding claims,
including those of the old contractors.
