THE

SUN,

Notwithstanding his high official occupation, he found
time to examine, with the minutest attention, the grand
models of art in all its various forms. He became the
intimate associate of Goethe, Schiller, and the other dis-
tinguished writers of the age. They appealed to him
in all matters where the success of their labours appeared
to depend upon attention to the first principles of coin=
position, or on a reference to the laws by which nature
determines as well as creates whit is beautiful. Thus
eminent in some of the noblest paths of human exertion,
Wilhelm vt n Humboldt was one of those men of whom
we are always glad to cherish the minutest memorials.
The letters of truly great men may generally be de-
pended upon as expressing their real feelings. If we
wish to learn the character of inferior men, who have
thrust themselves into notoriety, we can have nothing
worse than their letters for our guide."

ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON INTELLIGENCE.
The following noblemen and gentlemen have arrived
at the Squadron-house this week:—Spencer de Horsey,
Esq,, Jas. Manse, Esq., the Earl of Shelburne, Captain
Geo. Bentick, the Hon. T. M. Gibson, Henry
Godwin, Esq.. E. R. Harvey, Esq., Viscount Canning,
Earl Mu!grave, Lord Somerten.
Commodore the Earl of Wilton, Captain C. H. Wil-
hams, and several other members, are hourly expected.
All is Envy preparation for the coining season.
The annual general meeting of the members of the
Royal Yacht Squadron will take place at the Thatched
House Tavern, on Friday, the 14th of May nrxt, when
there are a larger number of candidates to be bullotted
for than on any previous occasion; we do not mention
the number for fear that the blackballing spirit which
at one time prevailed in this club should not have quite
died away.
ELECTION OF SECRETARY. —At this meeting a
gentleman will have to be elected to fill the office of
secretary, so long ably filled by Mr. John Bates. There
aro nine candidates—viz., four commanders, three mas•
ters, one lieutenant, and one civilian. But even out of
such a list it will be very difficult to select one so com-
petent as the gentleman that is now retiring from it. He
says that his age and infirmities preclude the possibility
of his holding it any longer. As to his age, we consider
him but a young man, and should not like to tell him ho
was au old one; and as for his infirmities, they are more
imaginary than real; if any one doubts it let them just
put his mettle up, and they will find that they will have
as tough and es genuine a specimen or the English
sailor to deal with as they can wish for. "England ex-
pects every man to do his duty." He has at least ten
years of good working stuff left in him, and it ought to
be taken out or him, and we hope it will.
A number of fashionables have already taken houses
and many others are applying. D. Carnegie, Esq., has
taken Woodvale; C. Bamford, Esq., Anelaide Villa;
H Clifford, Dq., Elm House; Miss Carnegie, Barnet
Lodge; F. Ruflord, Esq., the first Cliff Cottage; Mrs.
Holloway, the second; Lord Godolphin, has taken
Gothic Villa; Colonel Smith, Beach Villa; Sir Charles
Felluws, Prospect House. Lord Ilchester, T. Thornhill,
Esq , and several parties have also been applying for
houses. We build tor others, not ourselves.
NORTHWOOD HOUSE.—This splendid mansion, in the
embellishment, of which the late Mr. G. H. Ward within
the last few 3 ears spent upwards of 20,0001., and the
erecting and decorating of which was the main object of
his lite, has been let tor a school of preparation for the
colleges. From its high, dry, and healthy situation, and
its advantages of sea-bathing, it is peculiarly adapted
for this purpose. There are, however, many who lament
that the beautiful grounds. which are planted with the
choicest shrubs to be found in these latitudes, should be
overrun by school boys; that a place, commanding
such extensive, varied, and beautiful views should not
be tenanted by some prince or peer; that those halls,
in which the elite of England's nobility have been en-
tertained, should be occupied only by professors and their
pupils. But if the elder branches of our noble families
ate no longer feasted within these walls, no longer
tread this delightful park, still, if the younger branches
are to have their minds enlightened and their healths im-
proved amid the beauties of Northwood, we are not
certain that the place is not put to as good a purpose as
its possessor intended it should be whilst spending a
princely fortune upon it.

The Barraeouta, steam-sloop, fitting for the first divi-
sion of the steam reserve at Sheerness, is getting, her

middle of the stream to-day to be in readiness to be
towed down to Gree nhithe to-morrow by the Adder and
Monkey steam-vessels. The North Star is very deeply
loaded, and her decks piled with split logs, to be used
for firewood.

SIR JOHN FRANKLIN'S EXPEDITION.
On the eve of the departure of Sir E. Belcher's Arctic
expedition, every circumstance connected in any degree
with the fate of Sir Juhn Franklin's expedition—new
absent within one month of seven years from this coun-
try—is earnestly criticised by all classes, and more espe-
cially since the report published in the early part of the
present week, of two ships having been seen raised on
field ice, and adjoining a large iceberg, on the coast of
Newfoundland, in April, 1851. It may tend in some
degree to allay the tears which have existed of the fatal
termination of Sir John Franklin's expedition to recall
to mind the principal reports which have been promul-
gated since the departure of the expedition in May, 1845.
The first was the absurd and exploded statement of
Adam Beck, the Danish interpreter, to Rear-Admiral
Sir John Ross, which is implicitly believed by the
gallant officer, that the Erebus and Terror discovery
ships had been wrecked and sunk in Baffin's Bay in the
latter part of 1846, and that the portion of the
crew who.had been saved from the perils of the ocean
had been murdered by the natives, The next re-
port was from a mysterious letter inserted first in one
of the Duadee newspapers, narrating, in a circumstantial
manner, the discovery of four graves, and stating that
the bodies found in them bad died of starvation. The
greatest exertion to trace the foundation of that report
has hitherto failed to discover the author of it. The
next report, of the truth of which there can ba no doubt,
was the discovery of three graves—one of a sergeant of
the Royal Marines, and two of the seamen who were
known to have formed a portion of Sir John Franklin's
expedition—on Beechy Island, and other relics to prove
that the expedition had actually been on that island in
1846. Although great exertions had been made, and
rewards, first of 10,0004, and subsequently of 20,0001.,
were offered by the Admiralty for the discovery of the
missing navigators, no other information has been ob-
tained to trace the expedition farther down than 1846,
until the recent report of the discovery of two ships on
an iceberg on the coast of Newfoundland. The sight of
ships alongside of icebergs on the coast of Newfoundland
is often witnessed at a certain period of the year; and
when it is stated that the Dee steamer once ran for up-
wards of twenty-four hours alongside a large iceberg
with field ice floating in the adjacent sea, before she
could extricate herself, sailing vessels might have been
weeks in accomplishing the escape.

ELECTION MOVEMENTS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—I find on my return from the country, yester-
day, that you have published a letter, last Tuesday,
which Mr. Hutt addressed to me on the Bth inst., with-
out my rejoinder, a copy of which I enclose, This was
in print and widely circulated both in Newcastle and
Gateshead, on the 10th inst. I rely from the character
of fairness which your journal ha 3 hitherto sustained,
that you will do mo the justice to insert the enclosed in

TO THE INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF THE BOROUGH

OF GATESHEAD.
Gentlemen,—Mr. Hutt bus thought fit to publish two
letters, addressed by him to me on the Bth instant, ap-
plying epithets which I hurl back upon him with the
contempt they so justly deserve.
I deny, in the strongest terms, the alleged organized
plan, stated by Mr. Hutt to have been adopted by me
and some of my party, to injure his publie character.
;uch an assertion I declare to be a gross and scandalous
alsehood—the invention of Mr. Hutt him: elf.

...._____
As to my veracity on tho subject complained of, Cap-
tain Weatherley, the appointed friend of Mr. Hutt, will
bear testimony that I freely gave him the most fall sa-
tisfaction, and that he communicated the result of his
interview with me to Mr. Hutt, accompanied by a
written statement, attesting the same to be all that one
gentleman had a right to ask of another. This docu-
ment Mr. Hutt designedly, and in the most disingenuous
manner, keeps back from his printed statement.
Mr. Hutt's first letter, of the Bth inst., was delivered
to me late on Thursday evening, not by Captain Wea-
therley, the authorised friend of Mr. Hutt, but by a mes-
senger from the Observer newspaper office, to whom I

stated that I had replied through Captain Weatherley.
Early the following morning the second letter, of the
same date, reached me by the same messenger.

hands of a friend, he must abide by the decision of that

Tua GREAT BRITAIN AND BOGOTA STEAMERS.-
The Great Britain returned from her second trip round
Point Lynus, on Thursday evening, at half-past six r.M.,
having sailed at nine A. 31, Her engines were kept in ope-
ration during the whole titne;and worked with great smooth-
ness. Her average speed during the trip was from 10 to
11 knots, and once she reached 12 knots. She is now lying
in the Wellington dock, taking in cargo and passengers, and
during certain hours in the day may be viewed by the public.
The Bogota, the last of the series of steamers built for the
Pacific Steam Navigation Company, sailed on Thursday
evening from Liverpool for Valparaiso, with seventy pauen-

IRON STEAMERS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.
Sir,—On reading a letter in the Times of Wednesday,
inquiring if the Birkenhead was fitted with water-tight
compartments, and their possibility of saving that vessel,
or at least meditating the dreadful loss of life by keep-
ing her afloat for an hour or so, I am induced to testify
to their utility in the following instance:—
The Ariadne, East India Company's steamer (iron)
ran upon a sunken rock off the mouth of the Yang-tze-
keang, and rent a large hole in her bottom under the
boilers. The centre compartment filled instantly, the
other two (she being divided into three) remained quite
tight. In this state I towed her safely to Chusau, a dis-
tance of upwards of a hundred miles.
Her floating depended upon these two compartments;
had they failed, she would have instantly sunk in deep
water, and the loss of life have been very great. I be-
lieve she was constructed by Laird, who also built the
Birkenhead.

MINING INTELLIGENCE.
(From the Mining Journal of this day.)
There has been considerable activity in the Share
Market during the past week, although without much
variation in prices. Business has been transacted in
Devon Gnat Consols at 300 ; Alfred Consols, 181 ;
Mary Ann, 42 ; West Providence, 50 ; Tincroft, 101 ;
Merlyn, 6 ; Trumpet Consols, 120 ; West Alfred
Consols have risen to 25 ; Clive's, 21 ; South Tolgus,
150 ; Wheal Harriett, 11 to 4 ; Wheal Cupid, 71 ;
South Tamer, 4 ; Mill Pool, 3 ; Wheal Neptune, 4 ;
with a fair amount of dealings in several other mines
that are becoming productive and are attracting the
notice of purchasers. Several of the dividend paying
mines are inquired for, and doubtless, the influx of
money, acquired from the receipt of dividends now pay-
able upon Government stock, will induce parties to sub-
mit to the price asking for shares of that description.
In the Metal Market—Copper is in increased demand,
and scarce. In British Tin there is little doing, and the
price by no means firm: 1,000 slabs of Banes' has been
sold at 781., sellers now asking 801. An extensive busi-
ness has been transacted in Tin-plater, but at no ad-
vance in price. Lead is in great request, large dealings
have taken place, and an advance in !rice is expected.

DUBLIN THEATRICALS.
(From the Telegraph_). -
ITriEATRE ROYAL.—On Monday evening last our
worthy manager threw open his portals, upon the oc-
casion of the re=opening of our national theatre - and
Judging trom the overflowing attenclanCe`which boxes,
Pit, and galleries presented, we may net he deemed
false
prophets when we *dice!' 8004,4. unprece-
dented seenage, as the reward of hit 'thiterprise
and ability. The performances_ 'selected being
both judiciously varied and - tastefully :arranged,
proved ' highly, attractive, and the loud: and
reiterated rounds of applause suffidientlY testified that
energy, zeal, Sad abil
y erre not throain away upon
an Irishaudience. The entertainments of the evening
opened with a play which has never yet been pro-
duced in our theatre, called The Corsican' Brothers,
Very fairly dramatised from a translation
of due of
Alexander Dumas novels, bearin the'
sidle name ;
and the popularity- it bras already attained in the
London theatres has- caused it to have had a run, not
only of unusual duration, but to be again selected by
the very first actor of the present day; - Mr. Charles
Kean, upon the re-opening of the Princess's Theatre.
Mr. King personated the characters of the twins in
their different phases with both point and correctness ;
Mr. 'Webster playing the part of Renaud, the
unscrnpulous rcue, with exactness and pro-
priety ; and the scenery, which was designed
and painted by that eminent artist, Mr. Charles
Parker, most splendidly contributed to the stage
effect. In fine, all the accessories could not
ba exceeded for artistic gorgeousness ; and, therefore,
although its first production; it achieved -e complete
triumph. An extravaganza, styled, The- .Prinee of
Happy Land, from the clever- pet e' of Pleuic he,
was then- produced, and, from the niany'huulorous
travesties of well-known airs, proved hi'hly attrac-
tive. The scenery, decorations, and dresses are en-
tirely new, and tend in no small degree-to render the
piece effective. The entertainments concluded with
the:old farce Kill or Cure, in which the. performers
Licquitted themselves most creditably. '
QUEEN'S ROYAL THEATRE.—This )12.ddsorne and
well-regulated place of amusement was re-opened on
Easter Monday, with the new dratna, entitled The
Corsican Brothers, which upon the same evening was
produced at our national theatre, Hawkins.street.
From the crowded appearance the house .pfesented,
we feel great pleasure in being able to state that our
favourable predictions with regard to its suocess
Rear. ee a e.a... --ey to be verified, and that Mr.
Josephs will have no reason to" repent the very
large expenditure, both of time and money,
which he has gone to in securing the
services of so efficient a corps dramatique, under
the management of Mr. Barrett, a gentleman for
many years an old favourite with the Dublin audi-
ence—the scenery, &c., which has been depicted by
the master-hand of the celebrated painter, Mr. Yates,
tending in no small degree to render the toute ensemble
both brilliant and effective. Throughout the entire
piece the respective parts were most ably sustained, and
at its termination Mr. Sydney Davis and Mr. Vanden-
hoff were loudly called for, and greeted with loud. ap-
plause. In the farce of Family Jars which followed, Mrs.
Vandenhoff was heartily welcomed, and the talent and
correctness of her acting have in nowise diminished
since we recollect her on the boards at Hawkins-
street, some six years hence. We must also mention
the name of Mr. Taylor, whose singing in an aria from
Balfe's Sicilian Bride was so much admired 'as to

chants. The Renovation left Plymouth on the 17th of the
same month for North Shields. During his stay at Ply-
mouth Captain Coward was in daily intercourse with Mr.
William Mennie, druggist, Mr. Kibbey, ship chandler, Mr.
Gambill, sailmaker, to neither of whom, nor to the mer-
chants' clerks, or Custom-house officers, did he make men-
tion of Sir John Franklin's ships. Captain Coward is repre-
sented as a man of strict probity and integrity.
U. S. FACETI.—A gentleman, speaking of Cin-
cinnati, says its most appropriate name is Ham-burgh of
America. " Yes," replied another, " I think it will be the
Meat-ropolis of the United States." The son of Quil4ars
Fabius Maximus advised his father to seize on a post,
It will only cost a few men." Fabius answered drily, Will
you be one of the few ?" The Boston Post sas qa;',

'HE VALUE OF ENERGY.—He who, by an intel-
lectual and moral energy awakens kindred energy in others,
touches springs of infinite power, gives impulse to faculties
to which no bound can be prescribed, begins an action
which will never end. One great and kindling thought
from a retired and obscure person may live when thrones
are fallen, and the memory of those who filled them obli-
terated ; and, like an undying fire, may illuminate and quicken
all future generaticns.

CENSUS OF IRELAND.--The first part of the report
of the Commissioners for taking the census in Ireland has
been printed by order of the House of Commons. It contains
returns of the area, population, and number of houses, by
town-lands and electoral divisions, in the county of Carlow.
Similar tables for each county in reland will be from time to
time published. The Commissioners state that the anxiety
of the public for detailed statistical information respecting
the late census, and the wishes of Parliament upon the sub-
ject, have determined them to prepare this section of the
work, in preference to more minute and digested tables, re-
lating to education, occupations, deaths, &c., which will ac-
company the general report, in forms similar to those pub-
lished after the census of 1841. The area of the county of
Carlow, taken by electoral divisions and poor-law unions, is
shown to amount to 147,842 acres. In 1841 the population
was 60,555; in 1851 it was 50,124, namely-24,100 males
and 26,024 females. The total number of houses in the
same year was 8,621, of which 513 were uninhabited and 13
building. The poor-law valuation in 1851 was 125,7241.
The returns consequently show a decrease of population in
the county of Carlow of 10.4,34 persons as compared with the
census of 1641, or one-sixth of the entire population. The
decrease,in the number of houses is 1,714.
THE CONVICTED POISONERS, ROLLINSON AND
BALDRT.—The reprieve of the aged poisoner William Rol-
linson, who was condemned to death at the late assizes at
Bury St. Edmunds, for administering arsenic in food intended
for his daughter, and which resulted in the death of a woman
named Cowell, was mainly attributable to the representation
of the gaol surgeon, as to the extreme age, bodily infirmity,
and declining health of the prisoner, coupled doubtless with a
desire on the part of the authorities to avoid the sad spectacle
of the hanging of a man upwards of eighty years old. It has
been observed, however, that while his age increases, the
infirmities of Rollinson have wonderfully diminished since
his respite was communicated to him, and that he is in
fact in as good health as a man of his great age

officer, who died suddenly in a brothel. It appeared that the
deceased had occupied apartments at No. 25, Dempsey-street,
near the Thames Police- court, and on Monday afternoon last,
when he returned home, he found a female sitting at tea with
his landlady. Deceased left the house shortly afterwards,
was quickly followed by the visitor, who must have subse-
quently joined the deceased's company, as they both pro-
ceeded to a brothel kept by a woman named Parkes, at No.
10, Oxford-street, Stepney, but had scarcely been shown into
a room more than three minutes when the servant heard a
heavy fall. On hastening to the apartment the servant found
the door open, and the deceased lying on the floor face down-
wards; the female was leaning over him, and, said "she
thought the gentleman had fainted. The deceased was
turned over, and various means used to restore him, but he
remained in a state of unconsciousness and aPparently dead.
A cab was shortly afterwards procured, in which the de.
ceased was placed and conveyed home, but must have been
deadhefore he was put into the vehicle. The deceased was
quite sober, and when he paid the shilling to ,the keeper of
the brothel was cheerful, and exclaimed, " Hera you are,.all
serene." There was no quarrelling nor acuffie after they en-
tered. The deceased was a widower, and very respeconT
connected. Mr. S. G. Hayes, surgeon, of Jubilee-
