TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIL—Ou looking over the list of contributors to the
Exhibition from day to day, in your paper, omission has
been made therein of a beautiful specimen, in a glas3
case, of naval architecture, which came under my obser-
vation, with a great many others, before leaving Devon-
shire, to be placed in the Exhibition, on 21st April, by
its inventor, Captain W. Cheselden Browne, R.N., the
same being a model of the Princess Royal, 120 guns.
The combined elegance and taste shows this officer to
be master of his profession, in thus exhibiting his perfect
miniature of an English man-of-war. Naval officers who
have seen it remark it cannot be surpassed in sym-
metry and beauty of design, as a ship of the line lying
on the water. Trusting you will allude to these parti-
culars in your valuable paper, from ingenuity and merit
displayed, I am, Sir, &c., NEPTUNE.

(FROM ANOTHER REPORTER.)

The fear of being reputed superstitious must not
deter us from avowing that when, in crossing Black-
heath, yesterday, a thunder-cloud burst above us,
the echoing salutation sounded to the fancy as
an announcement that, on this, the coming
day of auspice, the elements were prepared
to favour our Gracious Queen with such a suspen-
sion of atmospheric hostilities as might become the
inauguration of terrestrial peace, and accord with the
well. omened aspect of the heavens on each day of
her previous progresses in her metropolis, since the
hour when a joyful nation hailed her
as the Queen. The morning dawned with
every mark of a change in the meteoric conditions,
and gave promise of a commencing summer. Still
masses of nimbo-stratus wrre stretched along the hori-
zon, and Alp-shaped cumuli, with snowy tops, gave a
character of Salvatorian landscape to the lower firma-
ment, whilst the sun persevered to struggle through the
intrusive mists, as if determined to see, and let be
seen, the happy pageant of this grand May-day.

Before seven o'clock the lines of carriages and
equestrians, and pedestrian groups wending to-
wards towards the parks from every quarter, exceeded
all that ever we witnessed in the thronging of
London streets, as one example will show :
from Hyde-park corner, through Piccadilly,
one unbroken line of carriages extended, at
nine
o' clock, across Leicester-square as far as
the Freemasons' Hall, in Great Queen-street ;
we
and heardfore wtehree observationequipages ma d e
brought
to
gether
never bt
in one
spot, as were collected in and
around the park,
when the Royal cortege halted at
the north transept of the
Crystal Palace.
At that time the drizzling
mg shower which had been
descending for a feie mi •
nutes before ceased to fall, and
the sun shone forth most cheeringly. Well worthy,
too, of the celebration were the extraordinary order,
quiet, and good humour which prevailed throughout
the congregated thousands in '
all
directions around.
There was not the slightest disorder, scarcely the i
slightest obstruction to be complained of n any part
cf the park, or the adjacent thoroughfares,
and the
policemen, who put on their best tempers for the cc-
casion, had very little matter to put their forbearance
to the test. It was indeed an extraordinary scene, of
which the quietude was broken only by the enthu-
siastic cheering which greeted her Majesty all along
her route.

THE LONDON FIRE BRIGADE —At an early hour
Mr. Braidwood, superintendent of the London Fire
Brigade, with Mr. Colf, senior foreman, and twenty of
the London pompiers, took up their several stations in
the Cryktal Palace. They presented a very formidable
appearance in their new uniform; and such are the
Phu in cue of the slightest alarm of gm that not

"WRAPS FROM CHESTER.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—The great handicap of 1851, the celebrated
cap of Chester, is now enrolled among the things that
were; yesterday the hopes and fears of thousands were
set at rest, although in very different manners. Rumour,
this morning, announces the startling intelligence, that _
one of the greatest list houses in London, situated in -
the parish of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields, has become,
like the handicap, a thing of the past; and that a -
balance of 5,0001. would consequently be missing from .
the pockets of the public. Several other houses and persons
are reported to be in difficulties. The settling generally -
is expected to be very so-so. Nancy won the Cup very
clevaly by a neck from the Black Doctor; Hesse Ilon3burg
being third, Rhesus 'fourth (somewhere about the posi-
tion I expected he would run home in), Backbiter fifth,
and my cockboat,Duc-an-Durras, sixth. Ruasborough,
as I predict.-d, could not win; it was en impossibility;
he was in diflicaltiet; soon atter going round the first
time. The race was by no means the fastest on record,
havina been two seconds slower than Peep-o'-dry
and three slower than last yeLr; but still on the whole it
was a fast run race. Time, 4 min. 14 sec. One of my
tselr.oted couple will win the Dee Stokes to-day; Light-
Tol will
Ban be beater,. Af(er the great race yesterday,
advanced Light-
The ,on the strength of Hesse Elomburg's running,
Dodo to 20 to 1 for the 'lrby; and The Black
was supported at 33, 30, and 28 to 1 for the same
race alto.

EXAMPLE.—At the commencement of the year 1841 a parson aged
thirty took out a Policy for 1,0001., the Annual Payment for which
Is 241. Is. Bd.; in 1847 he had paid in Premiums 1601. 11s. Bd. ; but
the profits being 214 percent. per annum on the sum insured (which
is 221. 10s, per annum for each 1,0001.), he had 1571. 10s. added to the
Policy, almost as much as the Premiums paid.
The Premiums, nevertheless, are on the most moderate scale, and
only one-half need be paid for the first five years when the In-
surance is for Life. _ _ _ . _

ITALY.

A letter from Rome, in the Univers, states that
the city was thrown into great excitement on the
29th ult. by the apartments of Signor ALESSAN-
DRONI, one of the superior officials of the Secretariat
of State, being broken open by the police, and mi-
nutely searched. As Signor ALESSANDRONI in-
habited some rooms in the palace of the Quirinal
the police could not have ventured upon such
an act without a special permission front
the POPE himself. All this seemed to in-
dicate that suspicions of a very serious na-
ture rested upon Signor ALESSANDRONI, who
was in the country at the time ; and public rumour
adds that the discoveries made by the police among
his papers were so important as to induce the Go-
vernment to send off the French packet two days
sooner. The same correspondent states that an at-
tempt at assassination was committed on the 28th
ult. upon Count DANDINI, an Assessor of the Direc-
tion of the Police, but that the stiletto struck the
hip bone, and thus caused but a slight weund.
The Official Venice Gazette of the 30th ult. states
that the priest PIETRO DALLOCA, a native of Venice,
has been condemned to five years' imprisonment, for
having sent two numbers of the Italia del Popolo of
MAZZINI to a friend of his at Ferrara.

MULTIPLICATION BY DIVISION. -An experiment
on the fertility of wheat has, during the past year, been
carried out in the garden of Mr. Stowe, a surgeon at Buck-
ingham, of which the following is a correct account. On
the 13th of July, 1850, a single grain of wheat was sown in
the garden ; the plant came up in ten days, and grew luxu-
riantly till the 13th of September; it was then taken up and
divided into slips, and replanted. The plants lived, and
flourished till the 13th of November, when they were again
raised, divided, and replanted, and suffered to remain till
the Pith of April of the present year. The weather then
becoming favourably wet, they were all taken up again and
divided into no less than 114 plants; these being planted,
were permitted to stand till the month of August, when
they were productive of the amazing number of 520 ears of
wheat, many of them of full size, containing more than 50
grains of corn. The crop was gathered before it was fully
ripened, as the birds attacked it in spite of revolving feathers
and a protecting net. Whether the result of this trial will
strengthen the opinion of those who contend for the thin
sowing of wheat in ordinary field cultivation, must be left
to the judgment of more practical agriculturists, but of the
amazing productiveness of the wheat plant, under such
treatment, any one may easily satisfy himself by repeating
the experiment.

BELPER.—STATE OF TRADE.—We cannot give
any very favourable report of trade this week. The silk
glove branch does not seem to improve, although twenty
weeks have elapsed since any quantity has been given out
to the workmen. Kid gloves appear to be generally worn
Instead of silk. Unless the manufacturers turn their atten-

_ -----
tion to making selvedge gloves instead of cut ones, there
will be no great demand for silk gloves as a general article
of apparel. The wrought cotton hose hands seem quite
settled down to the abatement of Is. per dozen. and we are
sorry to say that this branch is not fully employed. The
drawer and pantaloon branch does not improve, although
the coarser gauges are mostly well employed at this season
of the year for the autum demand. The hands are in ex-
pectation of being set on in the course of a few days. At
present there appears to be no activity in the hosiery trade,
and the workmen are in a mast depressed condition.—

EXAMPLE. —At the commencement of the year 1841 a person aged
thirty took out a Policy for 1,0001., the Annual Payment for which
is 241. Is. Bd.; in 1847 he had paid in Premiums 1601. I Is. Bd. ; but
the profits being 2M per cent. per annum on the sum insured (which
is 22/. 10s, per annum for each 1,0001.), he had 1571. 10s. added to the
Policy, almost as much as the Premiums paid.
The Premiums, nevertheless, are on the most moderate scale, and
only one-half need be paid for the first five years when the In-
surance is for Life.

BELGIUM.

The Senate of Belgium on Tuesday rejected, by 93
votes to 18, the Bill on successions in the direct line.
This news is important. It will be remembered that
the Chamber of Representatives of Belgium rejected
for the first time the Bill on direct successions, or at
least the fundamental point of it, which consisted in
the obligation for the direct heir to declare, on oath,
the importance of the succession. After this rejec-
tion, the Cabinet gave in itssesignation, and a Minis-
terial crisis lasted for some weeks. At last, on ac-
count of the impossibility of forming a new Ministry,
the members of the old Cabinet resumed their port-
folios, and the Chamber, abandoning its first resolu-
tion, adopted the principle of the oath. The Bill was
taken before the Senate, in which the Catholic and
Conservative element dominates.

RUSSIA.

The rag Gazette, under date of Hassentin, 17th
ult., says :—" The Russian camp established between
Kamenetz, Podolska, Chotym, and Jampol, on the
Dniester, is composed of 25,000 infantry, 6,000 ca-
valry, and 60 pieces of artillery. These troops will
be continually occupied with military manesuvres.
It was at first said that these were destined to march
against France, but now it is stated that an expedi-
tion into Turkey is in contemplation. A number of
vessels have recently arrived in the port of Jampol,
which could, in a few days, transport them all into
the Black Sea."

GERMANY.

The Aew Prussian Gazette contains a letter from
Vienna of the 3d inst., which says :—" It is decided
at present that the EMPEROR will return from Ischl
to Schoenbrun before proceeding to Verona. M.
HUBNER, the Austrian Ambassador at Paris, has left
this place to return to his post."
A letter from Vienna, 30th ult., says:—" The
promulgation of the new Constitution may be
shortly expected. The Ministers and the Coun-
cil of the Empire have examined and revised
it, so that it may soon be submitted to the
sanction of the EMPEROR. The camp, which it is
proposed to establish in the Marchfield, will be on a
larger scale than has ever yet been seen. The neces-
sary preparations are being made, and it will be com-
pleted by the time the Entraßou returns from Italy.
It is still expected that the Emperor ncoLes will
honour the camp with his presence, and that the Pora
will come to Verona.

PROROGATION OF THE CHAMBERS.

The Belgian Senate reassembled on Wednesday,
and the galleries, open to the public, were crowded
in expectation of some Ministerial announcement re-
specting the vote of the previous day, by which the
Government Bill on successions was rejected. After
the minutes had been read, the Minister of the In-
terior ascended the tribune, and presented a royal
decree proroguing the Senate and the Chamber of
Deputies. Cries of " Vive le .Roi 1" were raised by
the senators and the public, and immediately after the
Senate broke up.

ITAL Y.

A letter from Rome, in the Univers, states that
the city was thrown into great excitement on the
29J1 ult. by the apartments of Signor ALESSAN-
DRONI, one of the superior officials of the Secretariat
of State, being broken open by the police, and mi-
nutely searched. As Signor ALESSANDRONI in-
habited some rooms in the palace of the Quirinal
the police could not have ventured upon such
an act without a special permission from
the POPE himself. All this seemed to in-
dicate that suspicions of a very serious na-
ture rested upon Signor ALESSANDRONI, who
was in the country at the time ; and public rumour
adds that the discoveries made by the police among
his papers were so important as to induce the Go-
vernment to send off the French packet two days
sooner. The same correspondent states that an at-
tempt at assassination was committed on the 28th
ult. upon COUnt DANDINI, an Assessor of the Direc-
tion of the Police, but that the stiletto struck the
hipbone, and thus caused but a slight weund.
The Official Venice Gazette of the 30th ult. states
that the priest PIETRO DALLOCA, a native of Venice,
has been condemned to five years' imprisonment, for
having sent two numbers of the Italia del Popolo of
MAzzINI to a friend of his at Ferrara.

country. Neither the Austrian Government nor the
Porte, however, adds the correspondent, have the
slightest intention of destroying the independence of
