ARRIVALS FOR
.7:11E EXHIBITION.

"The arrivals of grods," says a correspondent of the
Weekly News, "both British and foreign, have been unceas-
ing, and the Kensington-road has daily presented a scene
which must have been particularly offensive to the far-
famed Rotten-row interest; and therefore correspondingly
gratifying to all the friends of the Exhibition. From early
morn till dewy eve,' heavily-freighted waggons, carts, vans,
and • conveyances of all descriptions, on many of which
Pickford' a name which will assuredly be carried to the
remotest posterity - was coospicaously emblazoned, might
be seen in one continuous array, frequently extending from
Sloane-street to considerably beyond whilome Gore House,
now the Symposium of all :Nations". ! the addresses on
some of the huge-packing cases exciting the risible faculties
of many of the by-goers, and making us sigh involuntarily
for the native well of English undefiled,'—a' well' which
some of our exhibitors seem most pertinaciously determined
to 'let alone,' no less in their addresses than in their cata-
logue descriptions and epistolary communications to the om-
niscient Digiq -Wyatt. Even our proverbial gravity was
svell nigh upset as we watched the movements of a bucolic-
looking old gentleman, in very pronouce top boots, and with
'spectacles on nose,' near the-Knightsbridge Barracks, fairly
shaking his portly sides, at a label on a mammoth packing-
case, which lie was convulsively endeavouring to decipher.
Remembering the example of our illustrious prototype,
Pickwick, we proceeded, after ejaculating 'God Mr,
bless our
soul, what a remarkable fact !' to take out our note-book, and
to transcribe therein for the fature delectation of our readers,
verbatim et literatim, the address which had thus tickled our
rural friend. It bore the most unmistakeable evidence of
being the production of nos voisins croutrc Manche, and ran
as follows :

GERMANY.

It is said that the Austrians and Bavarians are op-
posed to the reconstruction of the Frankfort Diet as
demanded by Prussia.
The Prussian State Gazette, of the 7th, contains
under its official head a report from the Ministers to
the KING, on the necessity of placing the position of the
Chief of the Bank of Prussia in harmony with the Con-
stitution of January 31, 1850. He has now unlimited
power on his own personal responsibility, and it is
not considered desirable that the administration of the
bank should be free from the control of the Government.
The Ministers, therefore, propose that the Chief of
the Bank should be removed from his functions, and
that the Minister of Commerce should replace him.
The Kum, approving of the report, wrote the follow-
ing letter to M. HAUSEMANIC—
" To put an end to the contradiction which exists be-
tween the provisions of paragraphs 48 of the decree on
the Bank of sth October, 1846, and the Constitution of
31st January, 1850, I have appointed the Minister of
Commerce to be Chief of the Bank. In relieving you of
your functions, I assign to you a pension of 2,000 tha-
lers from let July next."

THE SPORTSMAN.

Peep-o'-day Boy, the winner of the Chester Cup in
1848, figures as the principal embellishment of the pre-
sent number, engraved by E. Hacker, from a painting
by Harry Hall, of Newmarket, and is accompanied by a
well-designed engraving by H. Beckwith, called " The
Fox Hunter." Divers appropriate papers fill the pages
of this well-conducted periodical, among which may be
mentioned a contribution by Lord William Lennox on
Captain Rous's book on the Laws and Practice of Horse
Racing, with a slight memoir of the gallant author.

CATALOGUE OF THE LIBRARY OF THE
INSTITUTION OF CIVIL ENGINEERS.
Under the instructions of the couneil of this increas-
ing institution, the secretary, Mr. C. Manby, has pro-
duced a catalogue of the works contained in its library
up to the termination of the past year. Considerable
pains and trouble must evidently have been
bestowed by him in getting up a catalogue
of engineering literature, displaying such excellence of
arrangement and especial adaptation for reference on
subjects connected with Civil Engineering. It is formed
on a simple alphabetical system, giving, under the au-
thor's name, an entire transcript of the title-page of each
work and tract, the subject entries being made as brief
as possible, and the cross references being so multiplied,
that scarcely any subject can escape unnoticed. The
utmost attention appears to have been paid to collating
the titles, and ensuring completeness, accuracy, and the
avoidance of clerical errors. The publication of the
present catalogue will prove of the utmost service to the
institution, as tending to induce a presentation of any
scientific and technical works which may be wanting to
render the library complete. It is, indeed, highly sea-
sonable, and creditable both to the character of that ex-
cellent body and to Mr. Manby's own industry and
faculty of lucid classification.

BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.)

IN RE DENNIS.
This bankrupt was described as of Lowestoft, builder, at!
a meeting was held to "impound" the proceedings in ban'
ruptcy, under a petition presented a short time since. t
Mr. Bagley, on a former occasion, showed cause e.gli';',"o
the choice of assignees on the ground that proceedings ItA
pending under a previous bankruptcy. The bankrupt L;
'
formerly carried on business at Woolwich, and in 1847 d,
fiat was issued against him, but his examination was •
journed sine die, consequently he could not obtain his Cegir:
ficate. The choice of assignees was adjourned, and
Lawrence now appeared to support the proceedings under
petition, but an arrangement was come to that the stlth
should be administered under the first fiat, and that P"
classes of creditors should equally participate. lsat
His HONOUR thought that unless the case was quite c
such an arrangement was very advisable. the
The proceedings under the second bankruptcy will
be abandoned.

TY roGRAPHICAL CUIIIOSIM-I\re have been shown
a very interesting specimen of typographical ingenuity—an
architectural elevation of the Free Church College on the
Mound, composed wholly of moveable types. The effect, at
a little distance, is that of a wood-cut or engraving, and,
considering the nature of the materials, is really wonderful.
The work, which is to be forwarded to the Great Exhibition,
is the production of Mr. R. Ramsey, a compositor in one of

ST. ALBAN'S ELECTION.

Mr. E. ELLICE said be was directed by the St.
Alban's Election Committee to apply to the House for
leave to adjourn until twelve o'clock on Monday next.
Agreed to.
RELIGIOUS HOUSES BILL.

On the order of the day being read for the second
reading of this Bill,
Mr. LACY moved that it be postponed until the
30th of April.

Mr. GRATTAN hoped the House would treat the
Bill with the contempt it deserved, and kick it over the
bar. It was an insult to all Roman Catholics.
Mr. REYNOLDS suggested, if the Hon. Member was
in earnest in proceeding with the Bill, that he should post-
pone it until a further period, in order to enable Irish
Members to be present. The Bill was an insult to all
Roman Catholic ladies who occupied these religious houses.
Mr. LACY was perfectly in earnest in bringing
forward`the Bill, and should proceed with it as long al he
lived and the House gave him power to do so.
Mr. O'FLAHERTY said he was anxious that the Bill
should be discussed in the House, because he considered that
it was a foul libel on religions houses, and that discussion
would place them in a true light before the public.
The order of the day, after some further discussion, was
then postponed until the 14th of Ma—

MAnCEI, ISLE or ELY.--An extraordinary case
has just occurred at this place, whereby three women have
nearly lost their lives, and one is actually dead. It would
appear that Mr. Edward Miller, a brewer and malister,
had ascertained that two of his maid servants had been
pilfering his flour, and told them of it, but agreed, on
their promising better behaviour for the future, to look
over the offence; and continue them in his service. This
charge was laid by Mr. Miller on Monday, and on Tues-
day morning Mr. Miller's two servants were missing, and
also a third in' the employ of Mrs. Jones (Mr. Miller's
sister), who lived next door to Mr. Miller. Nothing was
heard of them until dark on Tuesday evening, when it was
ascertained that one of Mr. Miller's servants had died

SHERIFFS' COURT -( THIS DAY)

(Before Mr Under-Sheriff Bu SCHELL. )
DUREAM V. ROBERTSON—A MODEL LODGING.
This was an action brought to recover the sum of 141. lis.
6d. for one quarter's rent of apartments in Arundel-street
Strand, and also for breakages, &c.
The defendant pleaded that he was not indebted.
On the part of the plaintiff it was proved that defendant,
Captain Robertson, took the apartments for a quarter of
.4
year from June last, but left before the quarter expired, In,
consequence of a dispute between Mrs. Robertson en'
Mrs. Durham, but after defendant left he wrote to say Da
would pay.
Mrs. Papworth was called, and admitted that she was the
Mrs. Durham alluded to, and made the bargain with de'
fendant.
Defendant's SOLICITOR—And pray what are you? Wit'
ness (hesitating) ) Why a lady of course.
SOLICITOR—And where do you live? Witness—l non
t
think that has anything to do with the case.
The UNDER-SHERIFF—I think you must say.
Witness—Then I live in Stamford-street. She said de-
fendant should not cook his dinner on a Sunday after thee'
o'clock, as she (witness) went to church ; the fire might Will
been poked out in consequence. Defendant was served with
notice to quit on account of the insolence of Mrs. Robertson
and the servant.
For the defence Susan Cole was called to prove that kr .
Durham was always abusing her mistress and her, and snl
also refused to let Captain Robertson's friends up stairs.
Mrs. Papworth said that was because the knocker well g 0

itness said that she had seen Mr. Durham poke the 611

The UNDER-SHERIFF—Was it intentional? for I bead
known persons poke a fire with the intent to make it A guyi,
one, but poked it out.—(Laughter.) In addressing the

ARRIVALS FOR THE EXHIBITION.

" The arrivals of goods," says a correspondent of the
Weekly News, "both British and foreign, have been unceas-
ing, and the Kensington-road has daily presented a scene
which must have been particularly offensive to the far-
famed Rotten-row interest,' and therefore correspondingly
gratifying to all the friends of the Exhibition. ' From early
morn till dewy eve,' heavily-freighted waggons, carts, vans,
and conveyances of all descriptions, on many of which
'Pickford'— a name which will assuredly bo carried to the
remotest posterity - was conspicuously emblazoned, might
be seen in one continuous array, frequently extending from
Sloane-street to considerably beyond whilome Gore House,
now the 'Symposium of all Nations': ! the addresses on
some of the huge-packing cases exciting the risible faculties
of many of the by-goers, and making us sigh involuntarily
for the native well of English undefiled,'—a' well' which
some of our exhibitors seem most pertinaciously determined
to 'let alone,' no less in their addresses than in their
cata-
logue descriptions and epistolary communications to the
om-
niscient Digby Wyatt. Even our proverbial gravity
I; was
well nigh upset as we watched the movements of a bucolic-
looking looking old gentleman, in very prononce top hoots, and with
spectacles on nose,' near the'linigbtsbridge Barracks, fairly
shaking his portly sides, at a label on a mammoth packing-
case, which he was convulsively endeavouring to decipher.
Remembering the example of our illustrious prototype, Mr.
Pickwick, we proceeded, after ejaculating 'God bless
our
soul, what a remarkable fact to take out our note-book, and
to transcribe therein for the fatut delectation of our readers,
verbatim et literatim, the address which had thus tickled our
rural friead. It bore the most unmistakeable evidence of
being the production of nos voisins d'ontre Manche, and ran

LIFE DEPARTMENT,

The important advantages offered by the plan and constitution of
the Life Department of this Society are—
That Insurers are protected by a large invested capital, upon which
there is no interest to pay, and for which no deduction of any kind
is made, which enables the Directors to give the whole of the Profits
to insuring members.
That the Profits are divided annually amongst all members of five
years' standing, and applied towards reducing life insurances to the
lowest possible rates of premium.
The following table exhibits the Abatement a
been made for the past nine years,to members

A GREAT Discovtay.—We saw, some weeks ago,
in a Pennsylvania paper an announcement that a motive
power had been discovered to supersede the use of steam.
It is said that some facts have recently come to light which
entitle the statement to credit. Professor Salomon, of liar-
rodsburgh, Kentucky, has successfully applied the power of
carbonic acid gas as a substitute for steam in propelling en-
ginery for every purpose. The power of this gas has long
been known to chemists, but their inability to regulate and
govern it has prevented its use as a propelling agent. Pro-
fessor Salomon claims to be able to control it with perfect
safety, and asserts that it will afford a power equal to steam
in one-fiftieth of the space, and one-hundredth part of the
expense with both furnace and boilers. Experiments have
recently been made in Cincinnati, which are said to be en-
tirely satisfactory.— Nashville (United States) Banner.
BARNET CATTLE FAIR, LAST DAY.—This impor-
tant cattle fair terminated yesterday, and upon the whole
greatly to the satisfaction of a large class of salesmen, who
succeeded in disposing of nearly all their live stock, if not
at high, nevertheless at remunerating prices. This fair is
held chiefly for the sale of young beasts to be laid dawn in the
grazing counties throughout England for future conditioned
purposes, when they are transferred into the several markets
both in London and the provinces. There was a current call
during the last of the fair for Welch and Irish steers and
heifers, and only a few were left unsold; milking and down
calving cows maintained high prices throughout the fair;
young horses were never known to be dearer, and were all
sold; small ponies were in request, and fully maintained the
first day's prices.
