OLD COURT.
The July
. sessions of the Central. Criminal Court were
idiOpenedthis morning in the usual form, before the Lord
oYjor, the Recorder, Aldermen Sir Chapman "Marshall,
k"'nee, Salomons, and the Sheriffs of London and
dd ,
Z, lesext Alderman Cordon,. and
.G. H. Holgson,
ti_cle attended by their respective deputies and the other
Trvo unotionariee.
19'he.first edition of the calendar contains the names of
ectPrisoners, of whom 21 are from London, 63 from
fialtdleaext 6 from Essex, 2 from Kent, and 17 from
rev.
Thell grand jury having been sworn and empanelled,
lepet„e 4hoaDEa proceeded to charge them to the lol-
i/eatitlg Ptifect:--Lle said the number of offences was c; m-
tettr, '4l Speaking small, but considering that only
' 00h,leen days had elapsed since the lest session, he
th id not congratulate them upon the lightness of
that radar. He was happy, however, to tell them
iiii, there had been no re rious increase in the
eb,"l, titaeee of the metropolie, arid it would therefore be
tte essary to detain them for any length of time from
ti'le discharge of their important duties. Unfortunately
iheilrie were two charges of murdt r. One was a case ot
Ith o-tnurder, and in treat the only question would b. e,
tt, 'tiler or not the death of the child was occasioned in-
dellitienally or was the result of accident in the course of
kiliv,iery. Still, if they should find that the chial was
hlleri'i.by any act of the mother, it would be necessary tdo
ett " the matter for further investigation. The secon.
te andliit. 2, charge against a husband of stabbing his
death'l here there was no doubt whatever that the
lips was caused by the act of the accused,
tett -wer what circumstances tho act was come
it e„ did not appear upon the depositions, end
e4as °Pen to them to reduce the nature of the
fence if In the course of their inquiry something should
114 ii3:i out to explain awey or mitiewe the conduct of the
It: '111(1, or otherwise it would 'be their duty to find a
k_9 bill for murder. There was one case of rape, a-. d
beireference to that all he had to observe was simply that
%mere they could send the case for trial they must be
lehlta;'d that the woman resisted, at d was not a con-
iteitig party to the in•ercourse. Another case of some
NvietiaLee was that in which a young man was charged
el[tr," shooting a boy. It would appear from the de po-
tid,-,,116 that the youth was not aware at the time the ae-
IlltZt occurred that the gun was loaded, but if they

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
NEW YORK, TUESDAY, JUNE 24.
Although the supply is by no means so abundant as it
hits been for some months past, there is a fair amount
of capital on the market, for investment, and we cannot
(theuver so much stringency in financial circles as some
woull have the public to believe. It is true dearer rates
are in most cases paid upon every class of securities.
Foreign (sehanges have teen rather inactive since
the departure of the Pacific. Bills on London may be
quoted at 1101 to 1104; Paris, 5 07k; Amsterdam, 41-;2
to 42; Ilamburgh, 36:1 to 37; Bremen, 791 to SO.
Cotton— l'he home traders continued to buy freely.
Their purchases ranged from 1,200 to 1,500 bales daily,
embracing all grads above strict middling, which, being
scarce, are diffioult to purchase at annexed quotations.
Grades under middling are still much neglected, but
firmly held considerably above the limits of foreign
orders.
The Arctic's letters were about the tenor anticipated,
and have produced no other effect than a firm feeling.
The sales reported were 2,000 bales, nearly all to the
trade, at very full prices. Strict Liverpool classifies-
tions.—lnferi.,r Atlantic, New Orleans. and other gulf
ports, 64; ordinary to good ordinary Atlantic, 74 to 8;
New Orleans, 71 to 8i; other gulr ports, 74 to b; mid-
(tang to good meddling Atlantic, 84 to 9f; New Orleans,
91. to 101; other gulf ports, 91 to 10; middling fair to
fair Atlantic, 10 to 10i; New Orleans, 12/; other gulf
peva, nomical.
Flour, &c.—With heavy stocks, free arrivals, and
.aim weather, the market is dull. Prices are in favour
of the buyer, yet we do not alter Saturday's quotations.
Sour and inferior lots have been sold et 3 dolls. to 3 dolls.
25c.; Mixed Indian, Onio, and Michigan. 3 dolls. 750.

Corn Meal-3 dolls. for J isey, 3 dolls. I2lc. for
Brandy wine, and 2 dulls. 25e. for State.
Wlae at is in fair request, and it is probable that large
sales would be made it freights could be procured. 4,600
bushels Genessee sold at 108 c ; 3,000 bushels ditto at a
lower rate; and 5,000 bushels shipped at 90c. to 94c.
Corn is in good ctemand, and large sales have been
made at 59 to 57 for mixed, and 581 to 59 for yellow.

TO THE SECRETARY OF THE BRADFORD
REFORM ASSOCIATION.
(EVERY MONDAY AND WEDNESDAY.)
Sir,—On Wednesday the 2d, the House made pro-
gress with the County Courts, and the Medical Charities
(Ireland) Bill, in Committee.
On Thursday the Oath of Abjuration (Jews) Bill,
after a number of ostentatious protests on the part of
opponents, serving only to display the weakness of their
side, was read a third time and passed, without a divi-
sion. The Greenwich election was alluded to, in a way
that throws light on the peculiar processes of reasoning
which may be pressed into the service of a failing cause.
The reason of the election of a Jew at Greenwich, was
represented as being the circumstance, that both the
candidates were Liberals and in favour of the admission
of Jews to Parliament. The further circumstance which
nobody was expected to see, being that no opponent to
the admission of Jews dared show his face.
The representative for Greenwich was expected to
present himself on Thursday to take his seat; but it 1
appeared he had determined to postpone it till after the
decision of the Lords. This may be polite, but it may
be doubted whether it is politic. The Lords will only
take huff at the notion of being capitulated with.
On Friday the Ecclesiastical Titles Assumption Bill
was brought on for third reading. The Member for
Abingdon (Sir F. Thesiger) made an able use of the last
bull of the Pope, and the still more spicey document of
the Archbishop of Florence under date of 9 June,
which are to be found in the Times of Tuesday 1 July.
It is quite clear that the Pope and his advisers, like able
strategists, counting on the support they have received
from the most active part of the Dissenters and 'Ultra-
Liberals, have determined that the morsel to be swal-
lowed, like that of the prophet, shall be rolled in as
much dirt as they are able to contrive. We are
put up for sale by the Pope, for one hundred days
liberty of fornication, or any other sin more to the taste
of the purchaser. And the Archbishop of Florence
concentrates the offer into an elixir, like the drop in the
middle of the frozen bottle of champagne, by offering
one day's indulgence a discretion, to any who will engage
in the holy work. What particular day's work, and what
particular choice of day, did the Archbishop point at?
Was it to chuse the day of going to the Exhibition, and
shoot at the Queen? Whether it was this or not, God
and the Archbishop know. But it is for the dullest of man-
kind to know, that it is within the meaning of the terms.
I' he House of Commons, as I have often told you, is a place
for the concealment of ideas; if a friend of yours
had tried to say this there, he would have been put
down as an impertinent. ut there is no need to con-
ceal the opinion out of it, that an authority which
thus openly sells us for sin, ought to be treated like the
authority of the Sheikh the imperfect philology of our
forefathers denominated the " Old Man of the Moun-
tain." It is possible that many of his followers were
good kind of men, "forward in field and pleasant in
nail;" but they were bound to execute the commands of
their mountain chief whatever they might be, with reserva-
tion only of the possibility that if the order came to be di-
rected specifically to themselves, they might throw up
their allegiance. It might, or might not, be politic and
wise, to place such a sect under general disabilities and
incapacities. But however impolitic or impossible it
might bo to be severe on individuals, it would be but
common sense to keep an eye upon the mandates from
the Mountain centre.
Suppose, now, thut the followers of this Chief had
pleaded, that it was always known that they bore alle-
giance to such and such a power. That it had never
oeen disguised and never would be, that his commands
had been in times past of such and such a nature, and
had been obeyed by those who chose to obey them, as
they would be again. That consequently there was no
medium between entire refusal of toleration to the fol-
lowers of the Old Man aforesaid, and full liberty of re-
ceiving his commands. Would not this have been,
word for word, the argument urged in the late debates,
and backed by those of other sects who, under the
pretext of religious liberty, have chosen to take the
part of allies?
Is there, for instance, at this moment, an oppo-
nent of the Government's measure, who, if there
bad been laid on the table a copy of the medal
struck by Gregory XIII. on occasion of the
VGONOTTORVM STRAGES which we call the Massacre of
St. Bartholomew, would have dared to deny, that what
was done then was right, that if ordered again it must
be obeyed again, by virtue of the infallible rectitude of
the orderer? Here, then, is your position. You are
treating with men who believe in an authority, which in
the prt sent hour of supposed improvement vauntingly
sells sin, and holds out the license for mysterious and
unmeasured wickedness for less than thirty pieces
•)1 silver;—you are told that Tetzel and his iudul-
gencea shall be revived upon you, in order that fair
warning may be given you that'you shall bolt the whole
hog or none,—that you shall lay no flittering unction to
your soul, that it was any smoothed down porker or
smug suckling which was offered to yuur digestion,
-Jut the old original wild boar out of the forest, bristles
and tusks and all, with which you were to make a treaty
ur passage through your intestinal canals.
It is not, therefore, because anybody has refused the
extension of equal liberties to the Roman Catholics, but
oecause the head or heads of the Rumen Catholics have
refused to rest content with their position unless accom-
letuied with the acknowledgment of the most abject sub-
mission to their supremacy. They say, it is our religion
,o believe that you are schismatics and heretics, and as
such to be brought to an auto daje at the Church's con-
venience and not before. It ie our religion to believe
,hat your bishops are non-entities and your sovereign a
usurper, because unblessed by the only legitimate source
of power. Either admit us with this, or we are per-
secuted gentlemen. We give you fair notice. We refuse to
come in without all our ten horns along with us. We will
not leave a hoof behind, of anything pertaining to our
state. We come, as the Hanoverian woman said, " for
411 your goode;" and you are mere simpletons, if when
we t eke them you set up the childish plea that you did
not know.
If anybody, then, should trouble himself with ask-
ing you why I voted against introducing the Member
for Abingdon's Amendments when they were proposed,
-and voted afterwards against their being struck out, say
it was because new evidence had been given in the in-
terval, of the madness we should be guilty of in not treat-
ing an enemy as as enemy, after all the pains he has
taken to tell us so.
The Amendments of the Member for Abingdon were
retained by majorities of 208 to 129, and 175 to 124; and
the Bill finally passed by 263 votes to 46. The question ,
is now with the Lords. We shall see whether Cobbett
was right when he said, " Thank God for a House
of Lords;" and if the Lords like to amend the
Bill, they can take the majorities on the Member for
Abingdon's Amendments as the measure of what may
be calculated on in the Commons.
When the motion was made for the Bill being read a
third time, the masa of the Irish opponents repeated their
" ostentatious withdrawal." It appears that their plan
was to come back at some time of their own, and that
through some mismanagement of their own they did not
come. A manifest intention (as indeed in the shock of
political conflicts is inevitable and excusable) having
been displayed to construct out of this a charge of un-
fair dealing on the part of some or other of their oppo-
nents, I have only to proffer myself as a witness if occa-
sion should arise, as to the extreme absurdity and puerile
unfairness of any such attempted tail-piece to what may
without malignity be described as an unsuccessful suit-
,.egem of the complainants.
I am, Sir, yours very sincerely,
AN OLD REFORMER.

LICHFIELD _HOUSE EXHIBITION.
Suggested doubtless by the unrestricted character of
the Great Industrial Exhibition, a gallery of paintings
has very recently been opened to public inspection at
Lichfield House, St. James's-square, the walls admitting
of pictures by living painters of the schools of all coun-
tries. As might be conjectured, the works of art here
collected together are many of.them of a most interesting
description, and nearly all of them raised above the dead
level of mediocrity. Traversing the different apart-
ments we occasionally find our attention arrested by the
masterpiece of some illustrious artist, as in the instance
ot Paul de la Ruche's great picture (102) of " Cromwell
looking at Charles I. in his Coffio," a production which,
it will be remembered, was displayed last season on the
walls of the Royal Academy. Actuated possibly
by the same view, most of the foreign contri-
butors have selected for the display of their
abilities some scene familiar to the ideas of Englishmen.
Fur example, M. Foursu has in 26 pourtrayed an inci-
dent from the life of Cnatterton; mad in 32 M. Slinge-
neyer has depicted the death of Net: on. In the latter
there is too much of the ghastly reedit.] • of bloodshed, and
the position of the wounued admiral with his right leg
thrust out towards the spectator, and consequently fore-
shortened, is disagreeable and awl ;ward. Favourite
walks by our own tartlets may occu sionally be recog-
nised, as in 29, C. M. Ward's " Fall 'of Clarendon." M.
Cheuvin's " Flight into Egypt," 30,. will be recognised
by, all visitors to the Roy al Academy collection for the
present season. The last tragic lucid ent in Sir Walter
Scott's "Bride of Lammermoor" hats been realized with
painful earnestness in 35, by M. Sign 01. Lucy Ashton'e
figure in the chimney corner is cage isitely painted, her
smooth ivory shoulder, her delicate but crazed features,
and her thin beautiful fingers dab bled in blood. M.
Lehmann's picture, 36, of " The 'Virgin Mary fainting
at the foot ot the Cross" is, to our thinking, painful to
behold, every face in the group being a deplorable
failure. The same painter has, in, 37, given us a very
French "Hamlet," and in 38 a very French " Ophelia.
Scheffer's "Portrait of Louis Pt illippe," 40, appears
to us a very mahogany coloured vs xicature. Two most
interesting and admirably artist it: productions by M.
Schopin, in one of the upper soon it a command our very
earnest eulogiusns, one of them 43, representing "The
Morning of the 18th Brumaire," said the other, 44, the
"Divorce of Napoleon and Jose! aline." In the former,
the young General, who has jut): t returned, bronzed and
doubly glorious from the land of I ,he Pharoahs, where he
had more than fulfilled the augt tries of his early cam-
paigns in Lombardy, is conspicu tolls of course amongst
the group of his political and mil itery supporters. Mo-
reau, in the same picture, is notit es able from the circum-
stance of his being the only soldier. I here in plain clothes.
In the latter production the eye vt cinders with curiosity
from one figure to another, here resting on the Greek
and Cameo-like visage of the :E mperor, here on the
beautiful face of Josephine, reco: aieing in different di-
rections the Prince Eugene, the 'Queen Hortense, the
arch Chancellor Cambaceres, at ) dauntless Ney, the
chivalric Murat, and the wily at id inscrutable Talley-
rand. M. Gosse, again, has two o r three very charming
contributions, 46, one of Galli le o explaining his As-
tronomic Tables," 47, " St.. Vint sent de Paul relieving
the Galley Slaves," and 48, " Cat at fens saving his Manu-
script." M. Felon's " Thetis ri, iii eg from the Sea," 61,
is a, lovely gleam of the ancient t mythology. Not thus
deserving of praise is 72, " The Ira rewell of Louis XVI.
and his Family" (a subject just t :pourtrayed we under-
stand with consummate genius by the master hand
of Paul de la Roche), frc tm the easlo of
M. Rossiguon. In its c o:louring the whole
picture is characterised by e. very French and
melo-dramatic Intensity. Quite :as melancholy in its
inadequacy is 68, " The Infant J inns in the Temple " by
M. Scoeffer, a study of a head the it might have been mid-
taken for anything rather than 1 chat it is said to imply
in the catalogue. . Among. the pc T traits in the collection,
besides others of note, we especi ally remarked an ad-
mirable one, 114, by Madame .anchi ot "M. Guizot,"
and 119 a very characteristi c one by Mr. Grant of
" Count. D'Orsay. ' Mr. Lucy's " Landing of the Pil-
grim Fathers on the Coast of An series" is rather sombre
in treatment and conceived iu t i highly lugubrious and
puritanical . His lesser 1 sissture of "Cromwell
being admonished by Mrs. C la ypole, his favourite
daughter," is by no means as me I.] ttorious, however, as a
work of art, preferable the ugh it is in con-
ception. Mr. Gudin's " Grand Marine," 134, is a
really remarkable production, at id, although we might
protest against the metallic Inn e upon the ripple of the
water, the romance thrown ern r the whole canvas by
his brush, at once bold and luminous; renders us indiffer-
ent to the minor blemishes perc e ivable among so ntucb
that is admirable and excellent. 'M. Tschuggeny's " In-
cident Iron, the Field of Battle," 168, though powerfully
thought and vigorously produc ed, is, nevertheless, too
paintully correct to win tor it t large share of admira-
tion. Yet more cau we say this of M. Felix Leuellier's
large and remarkable picture 179, of " The Early
Christians being Devoured by ' 'VIM Beasts," one of the
most hideous nightmares it ever entered into the heart of
painter to imagine, and certainly she most awful and most
painful we hare ever in our live s seen delineated. Mr.
J. Ward's " Sin, Death, and Hell undermining the
Rock of Ages," a horrid little ghoul of a picture, in
tee present year's collection of the Royal Academy, is
nothing whatever by coropariso n. A very clever archi-
tectural drawing of the " New Palace at Westminster,"
175, painted by M. Ouvrie, v rill be looked upon by
many with interest as a sketch taken in London by
Frenchman. A sea piece by another French artist,
hi. Bartl 6 envy, is one of the mu a: exquisite and masterly
works of art in the whole of the Lichfield House Collec-
tion :it represents, 178, the " Escape of Jean Bart,"
and may be readily recognised by the visitor on the
staircase. The commotion of t ho waves has never been
more wonderfully portrayed ; the boat seems abso-
lutely lifted up on the billows. " Henry IV. and his
Children," 182, by M. Rouge a are as brilliantly and
distinctly individualized as I sortraits from the life.
Of M. Biard's "Henry IV. an a Fleurette" we can only
say that it resembles a very improper Maria with a
quaintly masquerading Stern e, the latter strolling
tnrough a coppice on a trip mor a than ever sentimental.
The daring and pretentious pail iii ng by Oiftaberzettel of
" St. John presetting in the W tic erness, and which it
may be remembered was fort ne sly exhibited for the
artist in Bond-street and Piccso has recently been
added to the works of art not v on view in Lichfield
House. It deserves an especial t?a :amination as the pro-
duction of a foreign artist of very great ability, and as
revealing on his part a lofty and honourable ambition.
Among the eccentricities in the col lection will be noticed
214, the sketch of a " Supper at a Bat Masque," by M.
Llillemach; and among the finest sj tecimens in the whole
gallery will be observed 225, " Th, 3 Frightened Flock,"
a singularly fine example of th© pot vers of M. Verboeck-
hoven. From the peculiar chance 3r of the whole under-
taking we are sanguine that the ) enterprise of those
artists who have applied Lichfield l louse to the purposes
of this very interesting pictorial e xhibition, will be re-
paid by the patronage of all lovert iof art, just now col-
lected together in London from th e various countries of
Christendom.

BENTLEY.

The opening article of Bentley, entitled " London,
Paris, and N ow York," (which should rather have been
entitled simply New York, inasmuch as it relates ex-
clusively to that i*land city) is the most valuable ma-
gazine article that has appeared for some time past.
Doing full justice to the many good qualities of the
United States society in New York,it does not attempt
to disguise its faults, but by showing whence those
faults arise, point out how they may be corrected ; its
social faults, however, are as nothing compared to
its social virtues, and when such is the case
" Non ego paucis offendar maculis."
It would be well for London if, with regard to the
water supply for instance, its inhabitants were to
follow the example of the New Yorkers. Until 1842
the supply of water to New York was scanty and
bad, iu that year the Croton Aqueduct, which bad
taken five years to construct was opened, and the
supply has ever since been ample and excellent. This
great work is thus described—
"The Great Aqueduct is forty-one miles in length,
commencing with a dam across the Croton river, six
miles above its mouth. This raises the water one
hundred and sixty-six feet above tide level, forming a
lake or reservoir of four hundred acres in extent, con-
taining five hundred million gallons, above the level

gdaulleotns per day. From the Croton Dam to

is an uninterrupted conduit of hydraulic
masonry,
and brick ; the greatest interior
width, seven feet five inches ; the greatest height, eight
feet five inches ; the floor an inverted arch. The com-
missioners and chief engineerst,s passed through its whole
length on foot, as soon
it was completed ; and, when
the water was admitted, traversed it again in a boat
built for the purpose. It crosses the Harlem'River by a
bridge of stone, fourteen hundred and fifty feet long, and
ono hundred and fourteen feet above high-water mark.
At the receiving reservoir forty miles from the Dam, the
masonry gives place to iron pipes, through which the
water is conveyed two miles further, to the distribut-
ing reservoir, from which point it runs, by means of
several hundred miles of pipes to every corner of the
city. On the line of the aqueduct are one hundred and
fourteen culverts, and sixteen tunnels, and ventilators
occur at the distance of one mile apart throughout the
route. The receiving reservoir covers thirty•five acres,
and contains ono hundred and fifty million imperial gal.
lone. The distributing reservoir has walls forty-nine
feet in height, and contains twenty million gallons.
The supply to each citizen is at present almost un-
limited, and afforded at a moderate annual rate. The
managers complain to the Common Council of the enor-
mous waste during the summer, when ' sixty imperial
gallons each twenty-four hours to every inhabitant, are
delivered. But even at this enormeus rate the quantity

The arrival of the royal party was the signal for a
hearty burst of cheering from the assembled multitude.
Her Majesty was received at the royal entrance by
the director of the opera, Benjamin Lumley, Esq., and
by Captain Robinson, of the Hon. Artillery Company,
the treasurer of the establishment. The Royal Chamber-
lain preceded the royal party with wax lights, in mas-
sive silver candlesticks, in his hands, walking backward.
Her Majesty then passed rapidly up the stairs, which
were profusely decorated with flowering plants in full
blossom, and evergreens of the richest description, to the
tiring-room, whence, having been divested of her carriage
costume, she proceeded to the royal box. Within the thea-
tre the preparations for the reception of her Majesty were
on a scale of unusual splendour, and were characterised by
the usual good taste that distinguishes the management in
this house. The Royal box was lined with white and
blue silk in alternate stripes, and the large boxes on
either side belonging to her late Majesty the Queen
Dowager, and his Royal Highness the Duke of Cam-
bridge, were added as wings on either side, and included
in the general decorations. The front was hung with
alternate festoons of crimson and blue velvet, bordered
with gold fringe. A richly gilt and decorated moulding
ran along the top, in the centre of which was placed the
crown; the pillars on either side were also gilt, and sur-
mounted by gold shields and armorial bearings, and on
the front panel, on a medallion, was displayed the Royal
Arms. A large bouquet of rare exotics, and handsomely
bound books of the opera were laid in the Royal box for
the use of her Majesty and the Prince. Two of the
bouffetiers in their state dresses and halberts were, as
usual, stationed in front, As soon as the Queen made
her appearance in front of the box, a burst of
cheering broke forth from all parts of the
house—boxes, pit, and galleries, joining hear-
tily in the enthusiastic demonstrations of loyalty
which breaking through all the trammels of operatic
etiquette, were evidently as cordial and spontaneous as
they must have been gratifying to the Sovereign.
Simultaneously with the entrance of the royal party a
brilliant flood of light suddenly poured into the house
from the large chandelier, all the audience rose, the
orchestra struck up the National Anthem, and the cur-
tain rising displayed the whole of the corps draniatique
grouped on the stage. Her Majesty, who appeared at
first somewhat nervous, as if taken by surprise at the
unusual fervour and enthusiasm of her reception in so
aristocratic an assemblage, bowed repeatedly, and with
the grace so peculiarly her own. The cheering was again
and again renewed, and then the National Anthem was
sung, around of cheering following each verse. The scene
at this moment was extremely brilliant and striking. All
the ladies of the royal suite were in full evening costume,
and the noblemen and gentlemen is military, naval, or
official uniform, and wearing their orders and decora-
tions. Most of the audience were also in full dress or
military costume, and the high character of the assem-
blage, the vast and richly decorated theatre, the music,
and all the other accessories of the scene presented a
coup cfceil which for grandeur and elegance has seldom
been surpassed. Her Majesty, who looked in her usual
excellent health, wore a light blue satin dress, trimmed
with deep lace; a head dress, composed of a wreath of
wild blush roses and foliage interspersed with diamonds;
a necklace, stomacher, and earrings of large brilliants,
and the ribbon of the Garter across her shoulder. The
Prince was attired in a field marshal's uniform, and
wore the insignia of the Garter and other decorations.
The ladies in the royal suite occupied the box on the
right of her Majesty, and the gentlemen on the left.
Two other boxes on either side were also filled by
members of the suite and pages. It is needless to say
that the house was crowded in every part, and we under-
stand that three or four guineas were, in many instances,
paid for single stalls.
The last act terminated precisely at a quarter past
eleven o'clock, and the moment the curtain tell her Ma-
jesty rose, bowed two or three times to the audience, and
retired. Loud and repeated cheers again broke forth
from all parts of the house, and the National Anthem
was again sung by the whole of the company. Her
Majesty was conducted to her carriage in the same state
as upon her arrival, and notwithstanding the immense
crowds assembled outside, the carriages were, by the
great exertions of the police, drawn up in rapid succes-
sion, and before half-past eleven the Royal cortege was
again on its way back to Buckingham Palace.

TO RIGBY WASON, ESQ.
Sir,—l have perused your letter in The Sun news-
paper, of the 2d instant, addressed to Mr. Winton, the
chairman of the Committee of Exhibitors, and in the
absence of that gentleman in consequence of a domestic
affliction, I, as one of the committee, beg to be per-
mitted to address a few remarks to you in answer.
I was somewhat surprised at seeing your reply to the
circular of the committee inserted in a public journal, and
that you should therein intimate an opinion that the
members of the committee were acting an unjust part,
and had committed some error for which they ought to
atone; but as you have adopted the press as the medium
of communicating your sentiments, and to cast reflections
upon the members of our committee, I shall rely upon
the spirit of fairness for which the press is proverbial,
for an insertion of the few remarks I am desirous of ad-
dressing to you.
The exhibitors, you say, ought, in your opinion, to
consider themselves the obliged and not the obliging
parties, and with the view of testing the accuracy of
this opinion, you divide the exhibitors into three
classes :-
Ist. Those who, like the Duke of Devonshire and Mr.
Hope, have exhibited objects of art acquired by them-
selves or received from their ancestors.
2d. Those who have exhibited articles from which
they cannot possibly derive any personal emolument, but
who are desirous of bringing under public attention
some favourite object.
3d. Those who have exhibited articles similar to those •
in which they deal, from the sale of which they expect
to realize a profit.
The first class, you say, " are an obliged party, by
being enabled to confer a benefit upon their fellow-
creatures, by giving them the opportunity of seeing
objects which will arrest attention, stimulate exertion,
and advance the cause of civilization." Are you really
serious, Sir, in suggesting that such men as the Duke of
Devonshire and Mr. Hope should deem themselves under
an obligation by being permitted to exhibit their several
articles in Hyde-park? You cannot be, Sir. You have
taken for your argument the very cases I should have
selected myself to justify the course we are pursuing.
It is partly because there are such as the Duke
of Devonshire and Mr. Hope amongst the exhi-
bitors, that we say the exhibitors ought to have
free admission accorded to them. Such men could have
had no mercenary motives, and you have no right to
divide the exhibitors and to say that the humble artisan
was not actuated by as pure a motive in lodging his han-
dicraft in the Crystal Palace as the Duke of Devonshire
or any other exalted personage in contributing his costly
treasures; and it is not because the high-born and
wealthy care not to claim their right, that the humble
and poor should be denied theirs.
To the second class, you say you yourself belong,
and as it is impossible for you to derive any personal
emolument from your exhibition of the mode by which
you have reclaimed your waste lands, I must presume
you were actuated by a love of country in coming for-
ward as you have; and although you, with those of the
exhibitors whom you have included in the first of the
three classes into which you have divided the exhibitors,
care not to enforce your right, I cannot see that that is
way reason why others similarly influenced should be
compelled to relinquish theirs. I would observe in pas-
sing, that few of our nobility and gentry need be at a
loss to discover persons to whom they might lay themselves
under an obligation, and that you yourself, Sir, might
be "obliged" to your heart's content in reclaiming the,
present, sterile acres of others.
come now to the third class. You say they are yet
more obliged, for they hope to reap (and you trust they
will not nut be disappointed) emolument from the dis-
play of articles in which they deal. I presume you
allude to sales being made by the exhibitors of goods in
their several trades. Do you not know, Sir, that the
advantage with which you say the exhibitors ought to
be satisfied can only be obtained by direct violation of
the rules of the Commissioners, and of the principle
upon which the whole scheme was founded?—that every
oVestaele has been thrown in the way by the Executive to
paavent the exhibitors reaping that advantage? Why
the Commissioners in the very outset of their proceed-
ing prohibited the exhibitors seeking to dispose of their
goods, and expressly declared that the Exhibition was
for their display only, and not for their sale. Prices
wore not allowed to be affixed, and it was even published by
the Commissinners that if any exhibitor or servant of an
exhibitor sought to obtain purchasers for their property
f rum amongst those who came to inspect it, the party so
Eating would be excluded the building. Clearly, there-
fuse, little thanks are due to the authorities for whatever
pecuniary advantage the exhibitors have derived. I
fear but few of the exhibitors have derived any.
But what matter it every man of us make his fortune?
Assume, if you please, that we are all actuated by the
low and grovelling motives you have attributed to us.
Kest the illustrious President of the Commission know
that not a particle of patriotism prompted the response to
the appeal which was made to us. Tell him ho has
tit tered fulsome flattery in the language with which be
Nis spoken of the support accorded to his scheme, for
that private and personal motives alone induced that
sa pport. Reiterate, if you please, this libel upon your
cseuntrymen, yet still you touch not the right for which
see contend. We say that the exhibitors lent their pro-
perty to the Royal Commissioners for the purpose of
exhibition. No intimation was ever made to the ex-
hibitors that they would at any time be denied access
to that property. The exhibitors were led to believe
hat the same rules governing similar exhibitions would
prevail in the conduct of this. Every previous exhibition
csf the same kind had accorded unrestricted admission to
contributors, and therefore, in the absence of notice that
£l. contrary rule would prevail at the present one, there
view an implied agreement with the exhibitors that they
Nmuld receive the usual privileges accorded upon such
occasions. But the exhibitors have more to sustain their
rights. It was distinctly stated in the publications of
the Commissioners, that with the exhibitors them-
e elves would rest the exhibition of their goods;
yet why should I labour again to show that the exclu-
sion of exhibitors is the withholding of a right, a viola-
tion of a custom, or a breach of good faith, and an act
most impolitic as regards the interests of the Exhibition?
My intention was merely to reply to your statement that
the exhibitors were the only obliged parties, and I will
therefore consent to sink the question of right and con-
tent myself with submitting the following case for your
consideration. A friend asks you to travel from Corwar
to Hyde-park, and tells you that by so doing you will
help biro to carry out some object he has in view. You
consent to do so, and, at great inconvenience, set out at
once, upon your journey. On your way you are in-
vited to earn, by the exercise of your talent or inge-
nuity, a 101. note, and you do se. You arrive at your
deatination and are warmly complimented and thanked
for the alacrity with which you proceeded to oblige
your friend. He esteems himself under an obligation to
you, and you naturally conclude that if you asked him
to oblige you by the observance of any ordinary civility
of life, he would do so. You relate the good fortune ex-
perienced on your journey, and your friend instantly
replies—" Oh! then I consider I am under no
obligation to you. True, you have done what
I asked you, but you have, whilst proceeding
to do it, put 101. in your pocket which otherwise might
never have reached it—that will pay every expense of
your journey." I know not what your indignation
would be at such treatment, nor is it necessary to de-
scribe what mine would be under similar circumstances;
but suppose you started upon a like errand for another
friend, and be went oat of his way to prevent your
earning that 101., but you nevertheless did so, could
you not pronounce it " too bad" if you were told by that
friend that the fact of your having earned that sum in
defiance of his efforts to prevent your doing so, absolved
him from all obligation to you, and laid you under a
great one to him?
I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant,
HARRIS.

MISS KATE LODER'S CONCERT.
This accomplished pianiste gave a matinee musicale on
Saturday at the New Beethoven Rooms, in Queen
Anne-street, when a host of artistic talent supported the
fair beneficiare. Among the instrumentalists were Ernst,
Richardson, J. Day, Lando, and Hancock, and the prin-
cipal vocal parts were sustained by Madlles Catherine
Hayes, Williams, Dolby, and Hill; Messieurs Bodda,
Reichert, T. Williams and Ferrari. Miss Hayes gave
her celebrated "Ah mon fils" from the Prophete with
exquisite purity and expression, and also pang for the
first time a pleating ballad composed expressly ror her
by Maefarron (who presided at the pianoforte on this
cecasion) entitled "The Lonely One." To criticise or
eulogise Catherine Hayes is now superfluous.
In florid vocalisation, sweetness, and feeling,
she stands unsurpassed, and we congratulate
our American friemets on the rich treat in
store for them, confident of the delightful sensation
which the Irish linnet, as well as the Swedish nightin-
gale, will cause among them. At the concert given in
honour of the American Minister, by Mr. Peabody, on
the 4th inst., Miss Hayes sung her favourite, "Ah!
mon fils;'' and in a trio, from I Lombardi, together
with Gardoai and Lablache; and a duo, from Le trc
Nozze, with the former, elicited the genuine enthusiasm
of that brilliant assemblage of rank and fashion.

THE GENTLEMAN'S.
Mr. Peter Cunningham, whose admirably told
story of Nell Gwynne is continued in the present
number, has, by inspecting the accounts of the Pay-
master of Works and Buildings to King Charles IL
from April, 1676, to March, 1677, discovered that
the carved pedestal of the statue of King Charles I.
at Charing-cross, is the work not of Grinlin Gibbons,
as has been generally supposed, but of Joshua Mar-
shall, Master Mason of the Works to King Charles
11. The extracts from the curious Day-books of
Dr.- Henry Sampson are concluded ; we hope that a
perfect edition of this very curious work will be ere
long given to the world. The paper on the present
state of the Record Office we commend to the serious
attention of the authorities. This number is illus-
trated by portraits of the two sons of Nell Gwynne
and by various archaeological drawings.

ACCIDENT TO LORD DUNGANNON.—We are sorry
to learn that intelligence was received on Friday evening, at
the town mansion of Lord Dungannon, that his Lordship
had been thrown from his horse while riding in his park, in
Denbighshire, and had fractured his leg, in consequence of
which Lady Dungannon left town immediately to join his
lordship.
CITY OF LONDON HOSPITAL FOR DISEASES OF
THE CHEST.—The corporation of London have munificently
granted a further sum of 100 guineas in aid of the funds for
the erection of the new hospital at the Victoria Park, the
foundation stone of which was laid a few days ohm by his
Royal High kriaco Albert.
