FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
TIMES.—The House cf Commons did not enter last
night upon the reconstruction of this State under the
auspices of Mr. Joseph Hume. It did not sit at all. It
was not because the greet race between Voltigeur and
the Flying Dutchman was to be run at York. It was
not for the Great Exhibition. First in the list of Par-
liamentary notices stood a comprehensive motion, in-
cluding under one bracket household suffrage, vote by
ballot, triennial Parliaments, end uniform constituencies.
The result was—" No House." No mere than twenty-
one had courage to face a danger which no longer in-
spires terror by its novelty. The remaining six hun-
dred and odd Members of the House thought that their
time might be better employed than in listening to inter-
minable essays on the manifest evils of the existing Par-
liamentary system, and the not so manifest certainty
that we shall better ourselves by a desperate leap into a
new model constitution. They also thought that it was
scarcely necessary to take the freshness off a subject
which is to come ou in good earnest next year. By this
day twelvemonth we shall be deep in the mire of rotten
boroughs, wading through rivers of scandal, and
cutting our way through a forest of amendments upon
every clause in the then before the House. The
Reform Bill of 1852 will be the Tides Assumption
Bill of 1851 ; a necessary evil, a painful duty, and
a crisis that must be got over. There are times when it
is necessary to take a leap in the dark, and to do what
would be scandalous imprudence if it could be avoided.
That is a true apology for the measure which a Liberal
Ministry feels to be torced on itself by the recent con-
duct of Rome; and it is the true apology for so serious
a stop as doctoring the constitution of Parliament, am-
putating some of its limbs, and sticking on others. We
must do it, just as it may happen one of these days that
we may have to submit to amputation in our own bodies.
The holiday taken last night by the House proves some-
thing more than a reluctance to anticipate a disagreeable
question. It proves also that the House of Commons
has very little taste for a Parliament which would bear
about the same relation to the present as one of the
flying machines in the gallery of the Exhibition does to
the more useful though less pretentious engines that
are spinning and weaving below. There are
plenty of people in this country who would be
glad to take their seat in a car, and by pulling a
few strings, or flapping their arms, to find them-
selves soaring over the Thames or the Straits of Dover.
There is only one thing they require. They must first
see somebody else doing it. Let one man fly from
Hyde-park to Woolwich, and millions will hurry to fol-
low his example. Let us once see any old-established
country like ours throwing away its old constitution, and
adopting a spick and span new one with success, or even
without any serious mishaps, and the British people
may perhaps follow the example. Hitherto there is no
such encouraging example. The United States have
been driven per force to a constitution which, after all,
is not a mere democracy, and is very different from
anything our reformers have ever proposed for this
country. France, after trying all sorts of experiments
for sixty years, has still to look about for a constitution.
It is far easier to cut down a tree than to supply its
place. It is impossible to make an old thing. No
adoption was ever a perfect substitute for a natural
relation. A man cannot choose a new father, change
his brother, or select his children. So a political
constitution is a thing that exists, and cannot be
originated. We may watch its growth and :correct it;
we cannot throw it overboard and get a new one that will
answer as well. Notwithstanding the pains taken to
guard household suffrage by auxiliary institutions, the
respt ctive authors of the six points, the five points, and
the four points, have all made ono fatal omission. Every
elector !should be enabled to do his duty as a citizen
without cost to himself. Start not, gentle patriot, we
don't mean bribery. We only say that, inasmuch as
householders will not register, and when they are regis-
tered will not vote, it is desirable that they be induced
to do so. At present, out of the many hundred thou-
sand persons qualified to vote, probably not more than a
tenth actually avail themselves of the priv•
ilege at any
one general election. Thus only a fragment of the State
is in action at the most important crisis of public affairs,
and the Legislature is the delegation of a tithe of the
constituency—itself not much more
that thaina ti the h the
population. We suggest, then,• considera-
tion of the trouble of registration, perhaps more
than once since the previous election, and
in
consideration of the one day, if not more, lost in
the excitement, the mental struggle, the attendances at
public meetings, and other preliminaries of an election,
and the final day lost in actually tendering the vote,
every elector
shall be paid 10s. each time he exercises
his suffrage. Let others boast of having discovered a
planet or added a star to the firmament; we have added
a seventh point to the charter. On a liberal allowance
of six million male, adult, resident, unconvicted, rate-
paying householders, 10s. a head for each triennial
election will only bo 1,000,000/. a year, spent in realizing
that grand idea a universal act cf household suffrage.
Of course, there would be always a contest, and every
elector would always be allowed an opportunity of ex-
pressing his opinions. What objection can there be to
such a provision? Are not the members of the Legis-
lature paid in France, and in the United States?
Are not all persons paid for the discharge of high po-
litical responsibilities? Jurors are paid ; them why
not voters, who are but the great jury and
inquest of the State? At all events, we entertain
very little doubt that without this simple little pro-
viso, costing us rather more year by year than our
wars with the Kafirs, or our fortresses in the
Mediterranean, all the six points of the Charter, whe-
ther Joseph Hume's or Feargus O'Connor's, will be
found wholly abortive. " Money," they say, " makes
the mare go," and a little of that invaluable anti-attri-
tion will be wanted to grease the wheels of the People's
Charter. We beg to submit this idea for consideration
at the next general meeting of the Chartist Convention.
Should it gain the approval of that judicious and re-
spectable body, we expect to see Mr. J. Hume adding it
to his motion next year, when he repeats it as an amend-
ment to the Ministerial Bill for Parliamentary Reform.
The old practice was to make political power coineident
with social consideration. As we take a strong man for
an office that requires strength, and as we choose a
leading man for a leading situation, so the usage was to
take the ranks and positions that were actually po-
tential and give them political signification. Hence
freeholders, burgesses, and other privileged persons
were made the depositaries of political power. When a
country was conquered its great men and its wealthy.
men were taken as hostages for the good behaviour of
the rest; and when it was governed in a peaceful
manner those same great and wealthy men were made
hostages in another sense, viz., as responsible for the
good government of the rest. The continual necessity
that has arisen for enlarging the circle of privilege, and
adding more and more to the original constituency, is
owing to the fact that the old theory had ceased to be
fulfilled, and there was actually more power and wealth
out of the constituency than in it. The Reform Bill of
1832 only fulfilled the work of the Plantagenets. Had
a Member of any Parliament before the :Georges risen
from his grave and seen the late unreformed House of
Commons, he would ;have been astonished to hear of
very large and powerful cities that were denied a re-
presentative, in that House, and of many leading people
in Parliamentary boroughs who had no votes. Thus
the Reform Act fulfilled the intention of Parliament, and
did not destroy it. The measures propounded
by. Mr.J.
Hume, and people of his way of thinking, begiwith
destruction. Everything is to be pulled down, a clear
platform made, before they can commence operations.
In the interval, of course, we are to be houseless, and, if
any hitch should occur, houseless, inevitably, we must
re:naire
DAILY NEWS.—Last night the more voracious de-
voarers of news were rather mystified by the late edi.
tion of The Sun. Turning to the place in that journal
where the commencement of the evening's proceedings
in Parliament are wont to be recorded, they read with
surprise that " the Flying Dutchman won by a nick."
Had a tyrannical Government compelled the newspapers
to substitute allegorical intimations of what was said in
Parliament, as used to be done in the early days of
Johnson, for the bond fide reports of our time? Was
Colonel Sibthorp, with his motion on advertising vans
and street organs, typified by the Flying Dutchman who
had won by a neck?—or was it Mr. Hume, with his Bill
for Parliamentary Reform? Further examination of
the broad-sheet showed that there had been " no House"
at the Commons, owing to the non-appearance of Mem-
bers at four o'clock, and that the news of the York races
had usurped the place usually devoted to the more tardy
movements of the Legislature. Various were the specu-
lations as to the cause which had prevented a House from
being made. Some were of opinion that the Times had
" done it all." Our contemporary had demonstrated in the
morning, with great vigour of language, if not of logic,
that Mr. Hume and Mr. O'Connor were political Dro-
mios. Perhaps Hon. Members, looking through the spec-
tacles of the Times, had seen two O'Connors in the House,
and had discreetly resolved to abstain from legislating
at a time when they saw double. Others, less charita-
ble, looked at the enormous list of motions for the even-
ing on the paper, and concluded that the House, in a fit
of laziness, had recoiled from such a Herculean enter-
prise as to go through it. The quantity of work cut out
for one evening was certainly appalling. There were
no less than twenty-six notices of motions of the meat
varied and contradictory kind. Mr. Ewart had one
motion to reduce the number of Members composing
Select Committees to seven; and Mr. Pete another to
increase the number of Members on the Select Com-
mittee on the Kafir tribes to eighteen. In SO far as the
principal motion of the evening—Mr. Hume's Bill to
amend the national representation—is concerned, it is
probable that little has been lost by the adjournment be-
yond of witnessing some painful exhibi-
tionstergiversation and equivocation on the part of
a ofu
professing reformers. Want of harmony and concert
among Members professing the same opinions—the utter
i
disruption and nfinitesimul subdivision of all parties
in the Legislature, have reached their height. Every
man is " for his own hand," like the bandy-legged smith
in " The Fair Maid of Perth." On the occasion of
the last division on the
_income-tax, the very small party
of sturdy independent Liberals divided itself, and went
to buffets. Mr. Cobden took up the gauntlet thrown
down by Mr. Hurtle. Last night, Mr. Thomas Dun-
combo (of all men in the world) was prepared to give
Mr. Hume's motion for reform the go-by, by moving
that the discussion should be postponed till next session,
and even then confined to the question of extended
suffrage, hurling the other points included in Mr.
Home's Bill. It is not worth while to conjecture what
moved the Honourable Member for Finsbury to take
upon him so invidious a task as resisting a motion for
Parliamentary reform, when there was Mr. Disraeli
ready to assail it with hostile arguments, and Lord John
Russell to smother it amid professions of devoted affec-
tion. It is enough that Mr. Thomas buncombe has
contributed another fact to prove that there are at this
moment almost as many parties in the House of Commons
as Members. Shall we condole with Lord John Russell
because the discussion has not taken place, or shall we
congratulate him? On the nue band, ho has possibly

(THIS DAY.)
The attendance at the Crystal Palace continues to in-
crease, and we perceive that each day is bringing new
visitors, a great proportion of whom are arrivals from
the country. The complaints which were at first raised
as to the long duration of the ss. admittance, seem now
to have turned into laments for its brevity, for there is
but little doubt that an impression is entertained in the
country districts that when the doors are open at a shil-
ling, the building will be so crowded that locomotion
from department to department will be difficult, and a
satisfactory inspection absolutely impossible. The con-
sequence is, that all who can afford are hurrying up to
town to see as much as possible before the ss. days are
over, and for the next ten days we expect that the
amount received at the doors will be greater than ever.
The following are a few of the objects which especially
attracted our attention this morning :—ln the mineral
department, Mr. Nelis, who is proprietor of the Tyrone
Constitution paper, exhibits a case of beautiful Irish
pearls, found in the river Strules, at the town of Omagh.
Some of them are of extreme purity, and they vary in
size from a pin's head to a large horse bean. They are
found in shells, and seem to undergo different stages of
formation, at some of which they are of peculiar bril-
liance.
The carriage department contains specimens of almost
every description of private carriages which are used—
the stately family barouche, the dashing curriele, the
knowing dog-cart, and the useful brougham. The in-
valid carriage, with a door behind for the introduction
of a couch, intended for the use of those who are unable
either to step into a carriage or sit upright, is an object
of great attention, and when occasionally the attendant
opens the carriage and draws forth a couch, on which
reclines the figure of a lady at full length, a crowd is
sure to gather round. Mr. Anderson, of Elgin, also ex-
hibits a Victoria car, by the construction of which
the danger which always seems to attend those who
ride on the back seat of those favourite conveyances of
the day, called dog-carts, is entirely obviated. It is
made with high wheels and low seats, so that no acci-
dent can take place. We can scarcely conceive a more
agreeable vehicle for general use, and its appearance is of
the lightest description.
In the Southern Gallery, immediately over the tran-
sept,is a counter, which will, we are sure, be visited by
every Scotohman who enters the Crystal Palace. It is
certainly one of the most interesting national exhibitions
withinits walls. It consists of a splendid collection of
loom wove tweeds and tartans, exhibited by Mr.
ll'Dougall, of Inverness, arranged in a manner which
cannot fail to catch the eye of the least observant. The
collection of tartans embraces all the different clans of
the Highlands in various materials, from the finest to
the coarsest. There are also specimens, native manufac-
ture, of every description and of an exceedingly interest-
ing nature—linsey woolsey made from bog cotton,
tweeds manufactured at the far distant St. Kilda, gloves
tf the wool of the mountain hare, Highland brooches
served from bog oak, deer•teeth, and cairngorms. Of
this last article, cairngorms or rock-crystal, the speci-
glens exhibited are, we believe, the largest known. Mr.
21VDougall, we understand, has been engaged since No-
vember last tog etting together the collection now exhi-
bited, and certainly it is one of the greatest national
interest.
The specimens of workings in precious metals and
jewellery are of the richest and most admirable descrip-
tion, and would well repay a day's inspection. A vase
exhibited by Messrs. Watherton and Broyden, of Hen-
rietta-street, after a design by Mr. Alfred Brown, is a
gem of art of the most exquisite nature; it weighs 95
ounces, and is ornamented with relieves representing the
Britons, Romans, Saxons, and Normans, the progenitors
of the British nation; and below these, introduced into
concaves, are busts of Nelson, Wellington, Milton,
Shakes pere, and Newton, crowned by figures of Fame;
the cover is surmounted by a group composed of the
figures of Britannia, Scotia, and klibirnia,and the whole
is richly ornameed with diamonds, pearls, carbuncles,
and emeralds, relicved by cinque-cento ornamental
ground.
Not far from this, exhibited by Messrs. Hunt and Roskell,
is a silver cup, the last work of that kind which was
superintended by Chantrey. It was presented to Charles
Kemble on his retirement from the stage. The frieze
represents the Seven Ages, the figure of Kemble as
Hamlet being placed on the summit. A
testimonial is also exhibited which was presented
to Mr. Lumley, the director of Her Majesty's Theatre,
modelled and designed by Mr. Brown. The figures
upon this work of art represent Melpomene, Thalia,
Terpsichore, and Euterpe.

MR. HARD NICK and CAPTAIN SOMERSET.
Mr. Hardwick deserve 3 all praise for his judicious de-
cision in the case of Captain Paulet Henry Somerset, of
the Coldstream Guarda It will have been seen, in our
police report of yesterday, that this gallant officer was
on Monday committed to the House of Correction for
ten days, for having brctally whipped a police-constable,
who was endeavouring to discharge his duty. The cir-
cumstances of the case are recapitulated in a few words.
Captain Somerset, on Monday, about three o'clock,
drove rapidly into the park by the Kensington-gate,
disregarding the cry of the policeman stationed at that
spot. Police-constable Griffin, who was on duty on the
road, held up his hands as a signal to Captain Somerset
to stop, white the phaeton was as yet thirty or forty
yards distant from him. To this signal Captain Somer-
set paid no attention. As he continued to drive on,
Griffin endeavoured to explain to him that in accordance
with the orders of the Commissioners he must go by
Rotten-row, and not by the road. Captain Somerset in
answer merely whipped his horses, and the policeman
thereupon, in obedience to his orders, seized the reins.
The gallant officer immediately commenced lashing
the constable about the head and shoulders, and drew
blood from his face. Finally the policeman let go his
bold, and Captain Somerset drove off at a gallop, but
was overtaken and brought back by the mounted patrol.
For this offence he was brought before Mr. Hardwick,
who, having the option qinti!eting a fine or sending the
prisoner to gaol, very judiciously committed Captain
Paulet Henry Somerset, of the Coldstream Guards, to
the House of Correction for the space of ten days.
Captain Somerset's ccnduct was, indeed, perfectly in-
excusable. As a soldier• he should have known that the
constable had no option but to obey orders. At any
time he would richly have deserved the punishment in-
flicted upon him; but now,lwhen it is of so much conse-
quence to preserve public order during the progress of
the Exhibition, he was doubly amenable to the stern
justice of the magistrate, It is clear enough that the
payment of a fine is a matter of no consequence to per-
sons
a strong
that for the future aspiring young
i the
impression siu tu of
gentlemen will think twice before they assault a police
constable in the. discharge of his duty. 14 contrary to
anticipation, it should be otherwise, we trust all magis-
trates will bear in mi▪
nd the leading case of Captain
Paulet Henry Somerset, of the Coldstream Guards.—

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
YORK SPRING MEETING.
YORK, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, FIVE O'CLOCIC.
Although the special train from town this morning
was announced to arrive an hour and a half before the
races commenced, the majority of the metropolitan spe-
culators left on Monday, hence there was a numerous
attendance at the Subscription-room in the evening, and
enough said and done on the match to show that, al-
though the betting nominally was even, Voltigeur hai
the call; it was the prevailing opinion that the ground
was strongly in his favour. Nothing quotable was
done on the Derby. Of the proceedings to-day, owing
to the late hour at which the races were set, we cau
speak only up to five o'clock; the results of the other
races will be forwarded by electric telegraph, being yet
andecided. The day as so far got off with the most
unequivocal success. The weather, occasionally
threatening, has been fine, and the course is thronged
to an extent that has not been witnessed at York
in our time. In point of numbers, we know of
nothing in the north that will bear a comparison with
it but the St. Leger day of last year. We were
gratified to observe amongst the company in the Grand
Stand a much better display of " rank, beauty and
fashion," than we have been accustomed to see of late
years at race meetings. The excitement on the match,
unequalled in importance by any similar event since the
time of Sir Joshua and Filho-da-Puta, was kept up to
the present moment. The issue is known. The crack
horses of their respective years have met on equal
terms, as to weight and condition; both parties were san-
guine, and the gallant Dutchman has nobly redeemed
the laurels he lost at Doncaster. That the best horse
has won does not admit of a doubt. The cheering from
the enormous masses of the people congregated in and
around the stand reminded us of the famous struggle for
the Doncaster Cup—it might have been heard for miles.
In conclusion, we may safely assert that such a day of
excitement has never been, perhaps never will again be,
seen at York. We subjoin such particulars as time will
permit:—
The Champion Handicap of 10 sovs. each, with 50 added;
the second to save his stake. The winner of any
handicap value 100 soya. after the declaration of the
weights to carry 41b extra; of two, or any handicap

FUNERAL OF THE LATE VISCOUNT NEWRY AND
MORSE, LATE M.P. vox NILWRY.—The remains of the late
Viscount Newry were taken down by a special train of the
Great Northern Railway, on Monday last, from No. 10,.
Grosvenor-crescent, Eaton-square, by
.the express wish of
the Countess, and placed in the beautiful chapel adjoining
Shavington Hall, near Market Drayton,
.Shropshire, and the
funeral took place yesterday. The inhabitants of the town
manifested their respect for the memory of the young noble-
man by suspending business during the greater part of the
day, and an immense number of persons assembled to witness
the mournful cavalcade. Amongst the principal mourners
were the Earl of Kilmorey, Viscount Newry, Hon. Robert
Needham, Hon. Francis henry Needham, Lord Colville,
Lord Alfred Hervey, and several other members of the no-
bility and gentry of the neighbourhood.
DOMESTIC SERVANTS BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION.
—The anniversary meeting of this society was held yester-
day afternoon at the Hanover-square-rooms, Lord R. Grosve-
nor, M.P., in the chair. The chairman, in a brief address,
advocated the objects of the society—objects which combined
utility to those who were able to maintain themselves by
their own exertions, and charity to those whom adverse cir-
cumstances and want of employment had reduced to a dis-
tressed condition. Not only did the society tend greatly to
the security of masters and mistresses, by encouraging in
their servants habits of forethought and economy, but it
gave to the servants themselves the promise of a refuge in
case of failing health or inability to obtain employment. The
report stated that during the year 1,300 new siebseribers
had joined the institution, which was now possessed of a per-
manent fund of 5,3681. 17s. lid. The registry department
had been most successful, several hundred families of dis-
tinction having engaged servants through its medium, and
having expressed themselves perfectly satisfied with their
selection. The financial report stated that the income for
the year amounted to 1,711/. 12s. 4d., of which nearly 1,300/s
had been subscribed by servants. The expenditure amounted
to 3551., and the sum of 1,1681. 2s. Id. had been invested in
the Three per Cents., leaving a balance to the society of
1201. '2s. 10d. This report was agreed to, and a series of
resolutions bearing upon the objects and management of the
institution were adopted unanimously. After the usual
compliment to the chairman, the meeting separated.
THE TEMPLE, MAY 10.—A further call to the bar
of the students of the Honourable Society of the Middle
Temple was made this day, and comprises the after-men-
tioned gentlemen :—John Raymond, Esq., Thomas Geary,
Esq., Joseph Shipton, Esq., and Joseph Kerr, Esq.
It is understood that Mr. Duncan APlceill is to be
the new Scotch Judge, in the room of Lord Mackenzie.—
Morning Paper.
THE FRENCH NAVY.—The following is the
strength of the French Navy, according to an official list
lately drawn up :—Sailing vessels : Six line of battle-ships of
120 guns each, four of 100 guns, nine from 82 to 90 guns, six
of 80 guns, twelve first class frigates of 60 guns, fourteen of
from 50 to 52 guns, eleven of from 40 to 46 guns ; thirty cor-
vettes, fourty-four brigs, forty-three small armed vessels, and
thirty-two transports. Steamers : one line-of-battle ship of
90 guns, of 960-horse power; twenty frigates of from 450 to
650-horse power ; five corvettes, from 320 to 450-horse power ;
twenty-two from 220 to 300, fifty-seven smaller steamers of
different powers. Forty-nine sailing and eight steam-vessels
ara now building at the different ports.
INGENUITY OF A BLIND HARPER.—John Williams,
a blind Welsh harper residing in this town, and now in
.his
seventieth year, has recently constructed a small musical in-
strument, which may be termed a Welsh harp—the wood
(converted from an old tea-chest) and the other principal
materials of which it is composed, having been prepared,
worked, and fitted up entirely by his own hands. It con-
sists of a double row of strings, and has a compass of two
octaves and a half. It is capable of producing a full, clear,
and, considering its dimensions, a powerful sound. The
maker himself (formerly a pupil of Sir. Roberts, the cele-
heated Welsh harper) frequently " thrills his lay" upon the
little instrument.—Carnarvon Herald.
THE AFRICAN LION TRADE.—From a case re-
cently submitted to the Court of Appeal in Algiers, it ap-
pears that there are persons who make a regular business of
catching and dealing in lions. One of these, a 111. Ottavi, of
Constantine, was, a few days ago, condemned to pay M.
Hebert, the keeper of a travelling menagerie in Normandy,
I,ooof. for having put him to the expense of visiting Con-
stantine on the promise to sell him two fine lions, though on
his arrival it turned out teat he had sold the animals to
another person, and had not been able to replace them. In
the course of the proceedings it was stated that lions are be-
coming very scarce in Algeria, the approach of man having
driven them to seek refuge nearer the desert.—Galignani.
MAGISTRATES CLERKS.—A few days ago, a dis-
cussion arose on the Subject of there being more than one
clerk to a Petty Sessions, when a country magistrate in
his weak attempt to justify the improper system, said, " I
could appoint nay butler as my clerk if I choose." " Per-
haps so," was the rejoinder. " and you might appoint the
lowest servant in your establishment as your clerk, but does
it follow that either one or the other would be creditable to
you or to the name of justice ?" The rejoinder was too con-
clusive for his worship."
NOVEL PEDESTRIAN FEAT.—On Saturday morning
last Mr. George Ledstone, better known amongst the fancy
by his cognomen of " Goliah Goodbody," landlord of the
Roper's Arms Inn, Knottingley, near Ferrybridge, Yore-
shire, started from his inn door, in Knottingley, between six
and seven o'clock, A.M., under heavy bets, to trundle a
wheelbarrow in nine days to the Red Lion Inn, llorsley -
down, being a distance of near 185 miles. Ledstone antici-
pates completing his task on Saturday or Sunday next, the
17th or 16th instant ; but intends, at all events, being in
time to deposit his wheelbarrow in the Crystal Palace on the
morning of Monday, the 19th instant. A guard was dis-
patched along with him on Saturday, to see that he faith-
fully execates the conditions on which the bets were laid.
Ledatone's friends express themselves confidently as to his
success.

An-num.

gh that the funds of the Commission had during the
day an accession altogether of at least 3,0001. The
French exhibitors still continue their preparations, and
the goods forwarded from Turkey are not yet arranged.
Professors Royle and Soley are busily engaged in the
distribution of the largo and valuable additional con-
sgnment within the last few days received from India.
Several of the most valuable articles have been placed in
the stalls facing the nave, and so great is their
value esteemed, that they have been surrounded
with a railing, as if they were State prisoners.
We hardly think that this precaution was necessary,
and it certainly is not ornamental. Our own jewellers
have not considered it requisite to adopt any such
measures of safety, and they ought to know something
of the risks incurred. However, we do not cavil at the
East India Company for what they have done, the more
especially as their collection promises, when completed,
to be one of extraordinary interest, splendour, and at-
tractiveness. In addition to the Lahore jewels, they
have now, in stalls facing the nave, the " Darria-i-Noor,
or " Sea of Light,"—an immense diamond set as an
armlet, with ten smaller stones around it; a necklace of
224 large pearls, and a shortpr ins smaller pearls;
a necklace of four large rubies, a pair of emerald armlets,
a carved emerald riadiamond turban ornament, an eme-
rald end diamond bridle and martingale, a gold mounted
saddle, set with diamonds, emeralds, and rubies; a mag-
nificent brocaded robe, richly decorated with pearls; and
an emerald girdle, the stones in which are of immense
size, and most of them of very fine quality. This list
of jewellery will give the public some idea of the man-
ner in which our Eastern empire is represented, and will
recall some at least of those visions of fabulous wealth
and splendour with which the name of India used in
former times to be connected. Until the collection is
completely arranged it would be premature to notice
further the more prominent features of the fresh arrivals.
The Royal Commission have again had under their
consideration the propriety of making arrangements for
the accommodation of the working classes who may be
expected after the 26th to visit London in order to see
the Exhibition. They have determined to abstain from
organising any system with that object, as their doing so
would interfere with many praiseworthy undertakings of
private individuals for the same purpose, but they re-
commend mechanics to co-operate, and to take such steps
before leaving home as may obviate the inconveniencies
that would otherwise arise from large numbers coming
together without any previous preparation.
The receipts for admission upon each day since the
opening of the Exhibition to the public, independently
of the receipts for the sale of season tickets, have been
, as follows:

HER. MAJESTY'S THEATRE.—Her Royal High-
ness the Duchess of Kent, accompanied by Prince Edward
of Saxe-Weimar, honoured the performances at her Ma-
jesty's Theatre yesterday (Tuesday) evening with her pre-
sence. The suite in attendance upon her Royal High-
ness consisted of Lady Fanny Howard, Lady Mary Howard,
Miss Howard, Lord James Murray, and Sir George Couper.
The Duke of Cambridge also honoured the theatre with his

presence.
ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.—Her Majesty and his
Royal Highness Prince Albert, accompanied by their Royal
Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Prussia, and Prince
Frederick William of Prussia, honoured the Royal Italian
' Opera House with their presence last evening. The Royal
suites consisted of the Countess A. de Hacke, the Countess
Oriolla, Hon. Eleanor Stanley, Hon. Beatrice Byng, the
Marquis of Ormonde, Count Paler Colonel the Hon. C.
Grey, Lieut.-Colonel F. H. Seymour,'Count Goltz, and Lieu-
tenant Von Heinz.
SOTER'S SYMPOSIUM AND THE EXHIBITION.—This
mach-talked-of-retreat for the hungry, which is shortly to
be opened to the public, was on Monday night the scene of a
grand banquet given by the officers of eagineers attached
to the Great Exhibition to the executive committ
Mr eDilke ,e. Among
those invited were Colonel Reid, Mr. Cole, . Mr.
Wyatt, Dr. Playfair, Colonel Lloyd, Dr. Lindley, Mr. Owen
Jones, Professor Ansted, &c. Among the officers presentu
were Captains Collinson, Owen, Gibb, Crosaman, Tyler, D
Cane, Pasley, Stopford, Austen, Brownlow, &c.
LONDON PHILANTHROPIC SOCIETY.—The annual
festival in aid of the funds of this institution was held
yesterday at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street ; Mr.
William Cubitt, M.P., in the chair. After the cloth had
been removed, and the usual loyal toasts had been proposed,
the chairman gave the toast of the evening—" Prosperity to
the London Philanthropic Society." This, he said, was one
of many institutions which had been established for the
amelioration of the condition of the working class3s. The
society had especial claims upon the public at large on ac-
count of the quiet and unostentatious manner in which it
relieved those who were in distress, when their cases came
under the cognizance of the society, and who would otherwise
have remained in misery and poverty all the days of their
lives. The Rev. Dr. Carlisle returned thanks for the
Army and Navy and for the Royal Philanthropic Society in
an amusing and acceptable speech ; and he proposed the
health of Dr. Lever, who proposed the health of the
Chairman and the Managing Committee. Upwards of 3001.,
collected during the evening, was added to the funds of the
society.
THE MASTER OF ST. PANCRA.S WORKHOUSE.—
rectheenta master bandoonfmtehnet
The poor-law board, in reference to the
of the prosecution against Mr. Eaton,
workhouse, have called upon the directors of the poor of St.
Pancras to he favoured with
such further explanation or ob-
servations as the governors and. directors may think proper
to make, with the view of putting them into complete pos-
session of all the facts and circumstances of the case, and
they say " It is incumbent upon them
_to ascertain as plainly
as possible in what circumstance the charge
.originated, upon
what view it was taken up, and to a
certam exteut carried
forward by the governors and directors, and why it was
ul-
timately abandoned by them." At a numerously attended
meeting yesterday Mr. Mortimore Timpson moved, and Mr.
of the taken, and
Erie seconded, a resolution that the clerk
evidence to for-
ward to the poor-law board a copy
,every other information required.
THE FOUR MONSTER CASKS OF WlNE.—Last
week these extraordinary casks were landed upon th. Eatste-
ern Dock-quay, where they have remained awaiting t h
erection of shears and the additional apparatus until yes er-
day, when the London Dock Company succeeded in re-
shipping them in lighters, and landing them on the Crescent
quay. 'The two smaller casks were successfully conveyed to
the place appointed for them (a distance of about 80 yards),
without injury ; but to attempt a similar duty with the two
larger " monsters " has caused the greatest consternation
'among the Dock authorities, they having great apprehension
respecting the risk and possibility of moving them further.
A consultation took place between Mr. John Fowler, the
importer and consignee, of Wells-street, Cripplegate, the
maker of the monster casks, and the principal manager of
the directors. The company were finally to decide yester-
day by what means they will undertake to place in safety
these invaluable wines.
FIK IaOSURRY AT THE GREAT EXHIBITION.—Yester-
day information was forwarded to the Police Commissioners
that a robbery had been committed in the American depart-
. ment of the Great Exhibition, under very mysterious circum-
stances :—lt appears that Mr. D. W. Wisson, of Hertford,
Connecticut, amongst other articles, had sent a peculiar de-
tached breecher rifle pistel, with stock to form a gun. The
article in question was found in its proper place on the day
of her Majesty opening the Exhibition, but it was yesterday
fonad to have been stolen by some person or persons un-
known. The article, although of trifling value in comparison
with some of the other things in the palace, has caused no
little consternation amongst the officials, they having con-
sidered, from the strong police force kept in the building, that
it was next to an impossibility for any one to commit a
ribbiltr~ithia We exhibition.

TWO SELECT ELEVENS OF THE MARYLEBONE CLUB

match for the season 1851 of the Maryle.
bone Club commenced yesterday at Lord's, and in the
earlier part of the day the assemblage upon the ground
WITH TWO BOWLERS ON EACH SIDE.
The first
was numerous, but the thunder-storms subsequently had
the effect of driving many of the spectators away. Until
the rain came the play presented frequent instances of
excellence, but, of course, the state of the ground sub-
sequently to a certain extent marred tho play in that
respect. It will be found that during the match several
good scores were made. For instance, Lord Guernsey
obtained 32 iu admirable style, in which number were
a four, four threes, the like number of twos, and a
balance of singles. Then came Mr. Cecil, who made
28 by means of three threes, four twos, and eleven
ones. The new member of the ground, Nixon, placed
11 runs comprising a couple of threes, a
two,
singles. Mr. G. M. Barker pre-
sented 9 to his side—namely, two threes, a two, and
a one. The total of this innings was 96. This was
Lord Gnernsey's side. The Hon.R. Grimston's side then
commenced operations, but when they had obtaineid:li
the game was put an end to, as the weather woautla "
the
permit of any more play. Mr. Ilaygarth
was at
singles,
top of the scare with 22 runs, of which a car-
re a three,
tied out his bat with a score of 13, in which we
