THE EXHIBITION—HOSPITALITIES TO VISITORS.—
As a commencement of the hospitalities which, we trust,
will be generally shown to our visitors at the Exhibition,
Mr. E. W. Cox, the proprietor of the Journal of the Exhi-
bition and of the Critic, has invited all the foreign commis-
sioners to a soiree of authors and artists at his mansion in
Russell-square, on the evening of Wednesday, the 23d inst.
We understand it to be his intention to entertain in like
manner the foreigners distinguished in literature, arts, and
science who may visit London during the summer. Nye
trust that similar hospitalities will be extensively shown by
the residents in the metropolis, that our visitors may learn
something also of the social as well as of the public life of
England.

You are not allowed to hawk a brochure—recite it

pared to exercise our rights in 1852—ready to fulfil our
duties even before this time, should the makers of solu-
tions dare to pass from menaces to acts.' Let us act
then within the strict limit of legality—let us not afford
any pretext to our enemies, but let us act. Thirteen
months is but a short time for the preparation of a whole
people for the accomplishment of a great act. Each

The journals of the Elysee having proposed to set
at nought the difficulties in the way of a legal revi-

municipal assemblies the question, " Ought.there to be
a revision of the Constitution," are thus replied to by
the Ordre:—
"If such foolish ideas should unfortuuately take pos-
session of the-party of order, what distinction would there
remain between the members of this party and the Ultra-
Revolutionists? Twice within two years has the High
Court of Justice been assembled at Bourgas and at Ver-
sailles to try the conspirators of the 15th May, and the
13th Juno. Was it in the name of force or of law that
the judges met? If the law and the Constitution be
empty words, as the Patrie alleges, let us then begin by
annulling the judgments of Bourges and of Versailles—
let us set those men at liberty whom we had no right
to judge, for they only put in practice the maxims of
the Patric, and their only folly was that they were not
the strongest. Such are the melancholy aberrations—
such the deplorable devergondage in which an obstinate
desire to serve a personal pretension can lead men who
call themselves, and who, perhaps, think themselves

PORTUGAL.
INSURRECTION AT CINTRAI.
Accounts have been received from Lisbon of
:he 10th.

O❑ the Bth an insurrection had broken out at Cin-
tra, at the head of which was the Duke of OALDANNA.
He had been joined by the troops stationed
there, and by the 7th regiment at Biafra, and
was marching on Santarem, where it was expected
he would be joined by the 4th regiment of cavalry, the
Ist and sth Cscadores and the 11th Infantry. DAs
ANTAS and the members of the Oporto Junta are
preparing to join him ; and it is expected that
the garrison of Lisbon will declare in his
favour. The KING and the Duke of TERCEIRA
had left Lisbon for Santarem with 1,300
men, but it was expected that SALDANHA
would be there before them, and it was considered
not improbable that even these troops might go over
to SALDANHA. The object of SALDANUA'S move-
ment is to banish THOMAR, and the cry of his troops
is "Down with Tuomiat." There seems to be great
•unwillingness on the part of , the citizens of Lisbon
.to aid in opposing the insurgents. The British fleet is
Lisbsl but will take no part iii the' contest.. ,The.ll"

ELEGANT DRESS CHARIOT FOR THE
EXHIBITION.
During the pant week the Duchess of Sutherland, the
Duke de Nemours, the Marquises of Bristcl, Clanricarde,
Downshire, the Lords Jermyn, Rosebery, Byron, and
Foley, and other persons of distinction have visited the
establishment of Messrs. WY burn, Mellor, and Turner,
of Long-acre, coach-maker to the Queen, to inspect a
new dress chariot intended for the Exhibition, a brief
description of which may not prove unacceptable. The
body of the carriage is painted a rich pompadour, a
deep laks, relieved with rose colour and white, and or-
namented with gorgeous silver mouldings. The lining
is arranged in tasteful flutes of rose coloured and white
watered silk, bordered with silver bullion lace and braid-
ings. The hammercloth is of fine white woollen cloth,
bordered with embossed velvet, also of a rose colour, and
decorated with elegant silver embroidery. The panels,
&c., display the heraldic insignia of her Majesty and
sixteen of the nobility, customers of the house, encircled
by a garter, with the appropriate motto, " Omnia juncta
in uno," and a badge with the device, " Think and thank,"
supporters an angel as Peace, and an aged man as Know-
ledge holding a key. There are several novelties in the
general construction, particularly as respects the ma-
terial and the arrangements of the lining—an increased
effect in the painting by the introduction of mineral, and
the superior high polish which has teen attained, and a
great relief in the weight of the whole by the application
of ir-n and steel edgewaye, as the Britannia Bridge. thus
rendering it more suitable for our present improved
breed of horses. The ensemble is a general and suc-
cessful attempt to combine the style and-elegance neces-
sary to a dress carriage with greater chasteness and
simplicity.
THE CLIPPER-SHIP CHRYSOLITE.
Yesterday the splendid clipper-ship Chrysolite, built
and recently launched at Aberdeen for a Liverpool firm,
and destined for the China trade, arrived in the
Mersey from that city. She was expected in the
harbour early in the past week, but, light and baffling
winds having prevailed continuously since her de-
parture, her passage round the coast was considerably
prolonged. She dropped anchor on her arrival, abreast
of the Landing-stage, and attracted much attention
from the visitors thereto by the beauty of her form
and the buoyant style in which she rode in the stream,
with her tall and tapering spars slightly raking aft,
squared and her standing ad running
her yeards neatly
rigging all ", a-taunto, giving a " man-o'n-war-like
appearance to her ensemble. At the step of the jib-
boom waved the union-jack, the private signal of
Taylor, potter, and Co. floated gracefully from the
meta-royal-mast-head, the British ensign was display( d
from the mizsn-peak, whilst Marryatt's code of signals
wiLS distributed in various parts of the rigging; these,
streaming, gaily in a moderate breeze from the north-
ward, rendered her a very conspicuous object on the
river. Altogether, she contrasted well with the splen-
did specimen of New York marine architecture which
lately arrived at this port from Portsmouth, U.S., the
Typhoon. She is, however, of comparatively small
tonnage, measuring only 440 tons new measurement,
whilst her transatlantic rival is upwards of 1,600 tons
burden. She is built to class for fourteen years
at Lloyd's, and is altogether a superior specimen of
the skill of the Aberdeen shipbuilders. We understand,
however, she is to be surpassed by another vessel from
the same yard, Messrs. Hall's, for the same owners.
The Chrysolite is ship-rigged, and may be expected to
eclipse' in speed any of the clippers afloat " hailing from
Aberdeen.' She will be commanded by Capt. Enright,
of the Reindeer.—Liverpool Albion.

HOW TO REDUCE the ARMY ESTIMATES.
Fourteen millions a year expended on fighting ap,
paratus, besides twenty-eight millions of interest on
public debt, also mostly for fighting! It is a large
sum, and we do not wonder that Mr. Hume and the
ce;lonomists generally object to it. Forty millions
a year, mostly for fighting, past and future! And
the case is made the worse, when we remember that
the fighting . was in the cause of Absolutism, which the
people of this country detest. We are paying some forty
millions sterling, annually, for fighting that has been
done, or may be done, on behalf of Austrianism. The
people of England should understand that. There is,
indeed, another use in the expenditure—we pay part of
that towards maintaining " order" at home and in the
colonies.
Mr. Hume and the Financial Reformers in Parliament
would not be coughed down and worn out if they dealt
with the question at the right end—the vote of money is
but the ultimate symptom, the causes of the expenditure
are political. The Peace party makes the same mistake.
It is not by cutting down votes that you will reduce
that evil, but by radically altering the relation of the
army to society. Mercenaries must be used, in modern
times, for foreign war; but for the domestic war, or for
preserving "order" at home—arbitrating in doubtful cases
between the possessors and the claimants of paramount
power in the country—the People should supply the force.
Devoted to trade, we have lost the habit of arms;
which an effeminate policy has still further discounte-
nanced. A militia is a mockery of an army. But
about three years back, Frederick Hill, Isisoector of
Factories, suggested the mode of establishing a
National Reserve Force, which should not have
the two grand objections to a Standing Army,
—cost, and alienation from the people,—and yet should
be sufficient. In the details of the ingenious plan we
do not concur; in the principle we do. It was to enrol
residents, selected for fitness and character, in a
military force ; to leave them free at most times,
but to place them under military regulations so
far as regards drill times and active service, and
paying them for the time thus consumed. He
reckoned that a force of a hundred thousand men, well
picked, well drilled, and well equipped, might be provided
at a cost of 900,000 L Say that it were twice as much,
and you must still save by reducing the numbers of the
army at home; moreover, you would then altogether
redeem the country from its subjection to a standing
army of mercenaries, the tools and slaves of arbitrary
officialism. That is the end of the matter to which the
Reformers should address themselves—that is the mode
of dealing with the army estimates, instead of the annual
farce gloss performed in the Commons' House of Parlia-
ment.—The Leader.

ANIMAL MAGNETISM.
On Wednesday night Professor Gregory delivered the
first of two lectures in Queen-street flail, on the subject
of animal magnetism, " in aid of the fund for relief of the
famishing Highlanders in Skye and other places." The
atteedance, of which a considerable portion were ladies,
was very numerous, and the meeting was presided over
by the Rev. Dr. Guthrie. Previous to the lecture, Mr.
Spence read several letters from clergymen and others
in Skye, stating that " cases of extreme distress were
becoming more and more frequent," and " the prevailing
destitution more and more alarming."
Professor GREGORY said that the subject of animal
magnetism had at various times since the appearance of
Memer excited much interest, but at no time had that
interest been so universal in this country as within the
last 12 months. Formerly men of science held aloof, either
rejecting the whole thing without inquiry as the result of
imposture or delusion, or, admitting some small amount of
truth in it, they neglected the investigation of that truth
as insignificant and unimportant. Now, however, they
found men distinguished in science to a ,greater or
less extent convinced of the existence of very astounding
facts, and anxious to investigate them in a proper spirit.
It was now twenty-four years since he (Professor Gre-
gory) turned his attention to this subject and examined
these facts for himself, and he trusted it would not be
deemed presumption in him to offer a few remarks on
them. Two very interesting lectures on this subject had
been recently delivered in this hall by his learned col-
league Dr. Bennett, who took somewhat different views
from himself on the subject; and though he had no desire
of entering into any controversy with Dr. Bennett,
who had investigated with a right feeling all those facts
be had had an opportunity of seeing, and had explained
themaccording to a certain theory which he (Dr.
Gregory) was not prepared now either to adopt or re-
ject, and did not mean to discuss, he wished to point out
that that theory would be found inadequate to explain
many of those phenomena which had been recently
exhibited here by bite Lewis, Dr. Darling, and other
operators, Be would noth go into. the details of those

peculiarefere results,
h and which, though now
admitted, had een denied, rejected, and ri-
diculed again and again,but would proceed to show
those facts which coul not be explained by the
same theory. Dr.
Gregory then said that pa-
tieots could be put into

to the experiments and discoveries of Reichenbach,
who bad found that ordinary magnets, ,
crystals,
and all mineral substances, more or less, as well as
the human frame, and especially the head, eyes, and
breath, as also animals, and even plants, possessed

nor electricity, for it could pass through glass; nor heat,

combined both heat and light; nor chemical action,
t hougis it combined that force; nor was it gravitation or
any other known natural force, but it was supposed to
be a peculiar natural force higblY analogous to these,
though quite distinct from them all—all of them proba-
bly springing from a common source, but which was un-
2nown. They could not tell if it was a fluid—it might be a
mare vibration or und6 lationof rie rare subtle ether
pervading the universe. This odyllice force might be
transferred from one body to aother
; water might
be charged with it, and the patient would intillibly dis-
tinguish that water without knowing anything
among a hundredglasses,-
periment, and generally by
its appearing strongly luminous. The lecturer then ststed
that persons in a conscious waking state, who were
under odyllic influence, sometimes saw, if the room was
nearly dark, a luminous appearance in the operator's face
—a red gleam of light being observable in Mr. Lewis's
face, and a blue light

one blue, while the former predominated in the right
band, and the latter in the left, and highly sensitive pa-
tients had even seen the whole colours of the rainbow pris-
matically arranged, although, in some cases, a white
equilibrium was presented. This also accounted for the
difficulty of operating where the odyllic force was either
positive or negative in both operator and patient. Dr.
Gregory then went on to show that the fact of the mag-
netic sleep being produced without the knowledge of the
patient (Mr. Lewis having in one case operated on a pa-
tient at a distance of fourteen miles) "6 Proof 1/1 the

ELECTION COMMITTEE, April 14.
ST. ALBAN'S.

(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)
The room was cleared for the Committee to consider
a special report, and on our being re-admitted,
The CHAIRMAN announced that the Committee had
come to the following resolutions:—
" That, notwithstanding successive special adjourn-
ments of the Committee for the purpose of procuring the
attendance of persons whose evidence was proved to be
mot material to the prosecution of the case of the peti-
tioners, such evidence has not been produced; and that,
although all diligence has been used for the purpose of
ecuneg the attendance of the parties required, such
endeavours have been unsuccessful.

" That it has, therefore, beers impossible for the Com-
mittee to thoroughly investigate the allegations of the
petition referred to them.
That it has been distinctly stated by some witnesses,
and the general tenor of the evidence given leads the
Committee to believe that a system of gross corruption
prevailed at the last election for the borough of St.
Alban. and also on former similar occasions.

" That it is the opinion of the Committee that further
inquiry, by means of a Commission under legislative
authority should be made, into the corrupt practices
alieged,,to be customary at elections for the borough of
St. Alban."

DESTRUCTION OF A WAREHOUSE IN THE
Between four and five o'clock yesterday afternoon a fire,
which was nearly attended with lamentable circumstances,
broke out on the premises in the occupation of Mr. Pun-
cheon, marine store and paper warehouse, situate on Bread-
street-hill, Upper Thames-street, City. They were very
lofty premises, with a considerable frontage, and contained
at the time a vast mass of miscellaneous goods. The fire
was first known at about twenty minutes after four o'clock,
when smoke was observed issuing from one of the windows
on the third story. There were three females at work in
the fl xtr above. 1 bey were unconscious of their fearful po-
sition until the cries of fire in the street attracted their at-
tention; and on attempting to descend the staircase, they
discovered that the premises below were in flames, and
already ignited. Two of them, however, jumped down the
burning stairs, and gained the warehouse-door leading to the
street in safety. The other female rushed to the upper-
most story of the building, imagining she would find
some means of escape to the roofs of the ad-
jacent buildings, but there were none; and presenting her-
self at the loop-hole, screamed for assistance. Her situa-
tion became appalling; the flames were bursting from the
windows beneath, and her destruction seemed inevitable.
Suddenly, however, she sprang to a rope hanging from a
crane alongside the loophole, and succeeded in grasping it
with both hands. Fortunately the rope was out and the
end reached to within a few feet of the carriage way below.
After hanging a few seconds she let the rope slip through
her hands, and to the delight of the bystanders she gradually
slided down to the bottom, when some men caught her. The
poor creature seemed much terrified, and the flesh of her
hands, as would naturally occur in a descent of upwards of
60 feet, was sadly excoriated. With this exception she
escaped without injury. Every means were adopted to pre-
vent the conflagration extending, which the firemen, after
laborious exertion, managed to accomplish, though at a
sacrifice of the premises wherein the fire commenced, which
was for the most part destroyed, as well as its contents.
At eleven o'clock last night several engines continued playing
into the ruins, considerable fire remaining, but no of an ex-
tent to create any additional alarm. The origin of the fire
is attributable to combustion among some bales of rags. Of
the exact value of the property consumed it is impossible to
speak with certainty ; the loss, however, is very con-
siderable.

STATUE Frqt. TRAFALGAR•SQUARE.—AIIow nie to
suggest that the statue of King George, now deposed in Lei-
cester-square, be placed on the vacant pedestal in Trafalgar-
square, the non-occupation of which is unsightly; the statue
would. then still remain in St. Martin's parish, of which I
