Blaine are about to leave the country in the course of a very'
law week“, intending to embark as emigrants for the United..

NEW CHURCH IN KENSINGTON.--A new church, to'
be called Christ Church, is in course of erection at the seal 1
west end of the parish of Kensington. It is expected to b e
ready for consecration about the middle of July. It is a
beautiful specimen of the early English style of architecture,
and though small, will be very convenient. An ecclesiaeti,3al
district has been assigned to it, and it will be in all respcicti
adapted to parochial purposes. The church will be erected
at a cost of about 3,000/., mast of which has been raised by
voluntary sul.hcriptions and grants.
SIR JOHN BARROW'S MONUMENT.—The res fora-
tion of this beautiful tower, which was struck by lightning

THE LATE FATAL RAILWAY COLLISION IN Sus 'TON
TUNNEL.—PRESTON, MONDAY.-The seventh day of this
came to this country a
protracted inquiry was passed in taking additional evide nee
from various persons present at the catastrophe, and from
Captain Laffan, the Government engineer. The cora nor
at great length summed up the voluminous evidence, and
the jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death," with
great blame to the executive committee, and a charge
of imprudence and indiscretion against the officers; there
was deficiency of locomotive power; the management Was
imperfect, endangering the safety of the public. Sign al3 at
d
each en of the tunnel and lights in the carriages were N.
commended.

TOE CAPE MOUNTED RIFLES.--Upon disbanding
a portion of this force, on the ground of disaffection, Sir H.
Smith paid the following tribute to the officers in command,
in a general order dated,, "Head-quarters, Ring William's-
town, March 15, 1851 :' -" It is with the deepest regret
that the Commander-in-Chief has been compelled to deprive
a considerable number of the Detachment Cape Mounted
Rillßifles under Lieutenant-Colonel Napier of their arms and
a corps with whom he has served so long—a corps
heretofore the admiration of every Commander-in-Chief, and
of the officers and soldiers of the army. Whatever may be
the infatuation which has led to this melancholy defection in
a corps where once a truly military spirit alone existed,
Lieutenant-Colonel Napier and the officers of the Cape
Mounted Rifles have exerted themselves to the utmost to
avert it; their conduct upon all occasions is of the highest,
order, whether in the field before an enemy, or in quarters;
and truly does the Commander-in-Chief, as well as every
British officer and soldier in this command,
sympathize in
their naturally wounded feelings. Lieutenant-Colonel Napier
and the officers of this detachment may rest assured this ex-
pression of approbation of their services will be submitted
to his Grace the Duke of Wellington, the Comm ander-in-
Chief. - A. J. CLOETE, Lieutenant. Colonel, Deputy-Quarter-
master-General."

The Clothworkers' Company, of which the Right
lion. the Lord Mayor is a member, and his Lordship was
master when the grand entertainment was given to the late
Sir Robert Peel, Bart., at Clothworkers' Hall, are about to
invite a number of the most distinguished foreigners who are
now in this country to a banquet at their hospitable board on
an early day. It is said that the other companies are pre-
paring to show the spirit with which they can sustain the
character of the citizens of London for hospitality. There
will be, it is supposed, a most strenuous rivalry,

MUSEUM OF PRACTICAL GEOLOGY-
This establishment was opened to the public by hie Roy' 91
Highness the Prince Consort yesterday. A large party W.°
assembled to meet the Prince.
The usual cemonies having been observed,
Sir H. DE LAre
BECHE, in the name of the officers of the'
Institution, addressed the Prince.
His ROYAL HIGHNESS replied in the following terms :—"
lAA
thanking you for the address which you have just read t'O'
me, I would also express the sincere gratification
with whit ti
I witness the opening, in a form most likely to make j'A
generally and practically useful, of an institution the progres
of which I have long watched with much interest, and th
want of which has long been felt in this country. I rejoit
in the proof thus afforded of the general and still increasir
interest taken in scientific pursuits; while Science hersel
by the subdivision into the various and distinct fields of h eti
study, aims daily more and more at the attainment of use, u
and practical results. In this view it is impossible to esti,
mate too highly the advan,ages to be derived from an insti-
tution like this, intended to direct the researches of science"
and to apply their results to the development of the immense'
mineral riches granted by the bounty of' Providence to out'
isles and their numerous colonial dependencies. It will
always give me the greatest pleasure to hear of, and, as far
as I am able, to contribute to the continued success of th
Museum of Practical Geology."
His Royal Highness shortly afterwards left the buildin.
and the proceedings terminated.

A STRANGE ROBBERY.—A robbery of unheard-of
audacity, it is stated, took place on Wednesday evening at
the Jardin des Plantes, Paris. The thieves, who were pro-
bably concealed at the moment when the gates were closed,
carried off one of the lions of the menagerie. The police
only became aware of the fact the next morning, and en-
tertained hopes of discovering the thieves, whose course has
been tracked as far as the Quai by stains of blood on the
ground. A handkerchief, covered with blood, has also beeit
discovered near the animal's lair; it bears the initials " C. V.'O
Major-General Napier paid a visit to Galway on.
Thursday last, accompanied by his staff, when the troops in.
garrison underwent an inspection, and the General expressed/
his approbation of the high state of discipline which they
evinced.
