SUGAR REFINING.
TO TEE EDITOR OF TH.E SUN.
Sin,—The question of sugar refining, which has
lately been discussed in your columns, is of so much
importance in every point of view to the public, that
I venture to hope you will insert the following re-
marks :—An assertion has been hazarded respecting
the effect of sulphate, or sulphite of lead, on the
human constitution, which I think is not borne out
by analogy ; viz., that because the sulphate of lead is
insoluble in ordinary circumstances, i. e. in water,
therefore it is so, and consequently innocuou!, when in-
troduced into the stomach. It is, however, quite cer-
tain that the power of the stomach in assimilating
substances are very unlimited, and to any physiologist
who knows the structure of the digestive organs and
their operation, specifically adapted to entangle and
appropriate matter subjected to their action, it would
appear a hazardous experiment to continue for a length
of time the daily use of a substance well known to
accumulate in the system, and to be slow, insidious,
and poisonous in its effects. These effects are well,
known to plumbers to be incident to the manipula-
tion of metallic lead (insoluble under ordinary circum-
stances) to which their vocation subjects them. During
the alterations at Windsor Castle, one of the work-
men employed there assured me that not less than
five of his fellow- workmen, plumbers, died of the
effects of lead. It is also known that type-setters
have suffered severely from the effects of lead. The
argument of insolubility is not worth a straw. Calo-
mel, magnesia, chalk, sulphur, these are all insoluble,
yet no one doubts their effects. The remark by Mr.
Brande, in the report on the lead process, viz., "the
objects attained by the lead process are not equally
attainable by other perfectly unobjectionable methods,
is only to be accounted for by supposing that the
Messrs. Oxland's process for refining sugar by the
acetate of alumina has not come under Mr. Brande's
notice. It accomplishes everything, and more than
the lead process professes to do. It dispenses entirely
with blood and animal charcoal, both well known to
be great destroyers of sugar, as well as cumbrous
and uncertain in their action. The cost does not ex-
ceed 4s. per ton of sugar; and, entirely innocuous,
attains every object. It combines the proteine com-
pounds and
the colouring matter, and they are pre-
cipitated with it, and filtered off in combination. As
a consequence of the sugar being freed from these
chemicallyinjurious compounds, the crystallizing

power of the sugar is greatly increased, and from
seven to ten per cent. more of crystallized sugar is ob-
tained.are greatly Fuel, tie,
I have seen sugar refined by this process, which is
first rate in colour, crystal, and solidity, but, even if
inferior in colour, who would not prefer it ?
The principle has been acknowleged by chemists of
the greatest eminence. I have seen the practical
working of it, and believe it to be an absolutely per-
fect process, from its simplicity, its economy in every
respect, and its full attainment of every object desired
in this great national manufacture.
The subject deserves investigation, and invites it,
as being of the last importance to the public, the re-
finer, and to the West India proprietor.

THE CARDINAL ARCHBISHOP OF

WESTMINSTEEL

GREAT MEETING OF THE CLERGY.
Yesterday morning an aggregate meeting of the
beneficed clergy of the city of London was held at
Sion College, in pursuance of a requisition addressed
to the Venerable Archdeacon of London, for the
purpose of memorializing the Lord Bishop of the
diocese on the subject of the appointment of the Car-
dinal Archbishop of Westminster, and to express

In the absence from illness of the Venerable Arch-
deacon of London, the chair was filled by the Rev. H.
Roxby Roxby, M.A., rector of St. Olave's, Old
Jewry, and president of Sion College for the ensuing
year.
The meeting having been opened by prayer,
The Rev. CHAIRMAN said, they were all aware of
the nature of the subject which brought them together.
It was one, he confessed, which bad occupied their
attention for some time. There were few who could
have failed to perceive that the tendency of the Court
of Rome of late years was to intrude upon this coun -
try, upon which the first open act of that tendency had
a most important bearing. It was, therefore, with
great satisfaction that he consented to call them to-
gether en that occasion, feeling assured that they
would all unite in doing what in them lay to express
to those in authority the feelings of the clergy of the
city of London on a subject important to every one,
whether layman or clerk.—(Bear.) But how im-
portant to those who look forward to the results it
was calculated to produce—those to whom God had
been pleased to intrust the spiritual welfare of the in-
habitants of the metropolitan city of London.—
(Hear, hear.) He only trusted that there might be
no sign of division amongst them on that great
occasion. First, they should all remember that
this occasion was a purely religious one. It was
a religious feeling which had called them there.
He hoped they would abstain from all allusions cal-
culated to introduce political bias into their discus-
sion, and he trusted they might be enabled to agree
upon some such protest as would enable them to ex-
press their feelings upon the religious part of the
question without touching upon the other. If the
law, as it now stood, permitted this assumption of
power which had just been put forth by the Bishop
of Rothe, that assumption was entirely contrary to
the spirit of the law ; and therefore, if it were true
that, according to the letter of the law, this invasion
were admissible, they should be firm themselves, and
strenuous in encouraging others, in joining in an
unanimous address to the fountain head of power,
imploring that the Legislature would put its absolute
veto upon this proceeding.—(Hear, hear.)
The Rev. Mr. Wax, who was very imperfectly
heard, suggested that as they were all fellows of Sion
College de jure, they should act in their proper ca-
pacity only to carry out the purpose for which the
meeting was summoned, namely, to address their
diocesan only, following the good examples set by the
clergy of Westminster, and the inhabitants of St.
George's, Hanover-square.
The Rev. Mr. MURRAY suggested that, as they
were assembled to address the Bishop, they could only
adopt that course at present. It would be competent
for them at a future meeting to address the British
Crown or both Houses of Parliament.
The Rev. Dr. M`Caue said that the present was a
time of danger, and they were bound to do their best
to avert it. He did not mean that it was a time of
danger to Christ's truth, or to any of the Christian
truths separately ; for whatever any power on earth
might do, they knew that the true Church was
founded on a rock, and would come forth unharmed
from any attacks which might be made upon it. He
did conceive it a time of great danger both to the
meyears an appear-
that
assumption to
thee d e
Monarch of England and the liberties of our people.
—(Rear, bear.) He thought so because it was an

soon after an attack on a defenceless Queen upon
whom they attempted to force the errors of the Popish
system. He believed that Popery was a false religion
—false because it opposed God's truths, and because
it brought down the curse of the Almighty upon it ;
and it was because he had that feeling that he trem-
bled for the prosperity of the nation. He hoped they
would stand forth and protest against all Papal as-
sumption, and unite with their brethren to uphold the
truth as they had received it from their forefathers—
to maintain it inviolate, and hand it down to their
children, thus upholding the throne and bringing a
blessing upon the prosperity of the English Church
and nation.—(Cheers.) It was not his intention to
say more than this, and he only wished to see the
memorial (which had already been submitted to
Archdeacon Hale) carried unanimously by the as-
sembly. The address which he had to propose was as
follows :
"TO THE RIGHT IiON, AND RIGHT REV. THE BISHOP
OF LONDON.
" My Lord,—We approach your Lordship with senti-
ments of sincere respect and affection.
"Having heard with indignation and concern of the
recent aggression of the Bishop of Rome in appointing,
by an assumed authority, a Cardinal Archbishop of
Westminster, and in assigning, under a Papal bull, cer-
tain districts of this country to the spiritual jurisdiction
cf clergy entitled ' Bishops of the Romish Church, we
feel it our duty to declare our resolution, with God's
help and blessing, to co-operate, as far as we are able, in
guarding the rights and privileges of our native church
from the assaults of foreign and usurped dominion.
"They They call to mind the fact that the faith of Christ,
in its purity of doctrine and worship, had been planted
and established in the realm of Britain some centuries
before the mission from the Roman See, in the time of
Pope Gregory, had set foot upon our shores. We know,
when the Church of Romehad, by its unscriptural decrees
and idolatrous practices, corrupted the primitive faith,
with what joy the call to the Reformation was received
in this land, and at how great price our religious free-
dom was vindicated and recovered by our Protestant
forefathers; and we believe and trust that there exists in
the laity as well as the clergy of our communion such a
hearty desire for the maintenance of the Christian truth
in all its integrity and purity, as effectually to resist this
novel and presumptuous movement, which appears to us
to be nothing less than an affront to the. Queen's Majesty
and the lawful prelates, clergy, and people of this Pro-
testant kingdom, and a bold attempt to undermine, and
eventually destroy, our Constitution in Church and
State.
"T hat your Lordship will be pleased, under the
blessing and guidance of the head of the Church, to
offer your powerful aid and counsel in the present con-
juncture.
We cannot conclude this memorial without request-
ing to offer to your Lordships our beat and warmest
thanks for the dignified and uncompromising Christian
tone of your reply to our brethren at Westminster.
" And we ever pray, &c."
He would observe, in order to carry out his former
statements, that the Bishop of Rome had usurped the
prerogative of our Sovereign in appointing spiritual
dignitaries in this land. It was equally a fact that
he had invaded the jurisdiction of the Primate of All
England and other prelates. They had seen the pas-
toral letter of the Cardinal Archbishop of Westmin-
ster, and observed the expression " we govern," as if
he bad received his jurisdiction from the Primate of
England. He thought that by that act the law of

England was invaded. By it had been done, in de-
fiance of the laws of England, that which no Popish
Sovereign in the world would submit to. Was there
piny Popish country, Austria or any other, into which
they found that a Papal bull could come without
being first submitted to the Ministers of the Sovereign?
In the same letter was an attack upon the religion of
their country, which was spoken of as being in total
darkness for three centuries, while we had the
glorious light of the Reformation, and the country
had become greater and more glorious, and more
prosperous, than any empire that ever existed of
which they bad read, in the whole history of the
world. It was an attack upon the clergy and free-
dom of the country, because, if the Papal dominion
succeeded, they had only to look forward to the same
bodily tyranny under which so many martyrs perished
in the flames,—(Cheers.)
The Rev. T. H. Hoeee seconded the motion.
The Rev. T. B. MURRAY said that, as one of the
clergy, and as a fellow of Sinn College, he had signed
the general requisition to Archdeacon Hale, and
therefore he might be justified in saying a few words
upon the motion then before them. They must all
regret the absence of the Venerable Archdeacon, and
the cause of his inability to take part in the proceed-
ings of the day. They had arrived at a crisis in the
Church of England, which ought to move every one
who had an attachment to that Church to bestir him-
self in its defence.—(Cheers.) The circumstance
under which the recent appointment, or he should ra-
ther say attempted appointment, was made must ex-
cite them all as followers of the religion of this coun-
try, and as patriots, to defend the Church of England
as far as possible in this conjuncture.—(Hear.) What
was this measure but one which children might call
absurd ; but which, unless it was averted, they would
live to deplore ? It was an attempt to overturn the
principles of the Church of this country, as well as an
attack upon the Queen.—(Cheers.) And those who
followed the tenets of that Church which had been
handed down to them from their forefathers would
certainly do their best to defend its precepts and the
principles acknowledged in this country. The clergy
of London, as well as the clergy throughout the
country, must now follow the agitation that had been
commenced for upholding the Christian truths in
their purity and integrity. The people, rich and
poor, old and young, had the Papal attempt placed
before them, and they would no longer be deceived
by the attempts of a church which sought to destroy
their best rights. He should be glad to see all men
with the Bible open before them in a good, plain, and
honest version. The people were already aware of
the value of the Book of Common Prayer in its de-
vout and spiritual form of words, yet couched in
language which the people could understand. They
were too well aware of the principles of their religion
to adhere to a church which, by its ceremonies, in-
duced its votaries to pay homage to the creature
which was due only to the Creator, and which, on
other points, was equally calculated to mislead them.
On these grounds, as well as on those of patriotism,
and he might add humanity, it was their duty to be
up and stirring. They should remember the price at
which their religious freedom was vindicated and re-
covered at the time of the Reformation, and those who
knew that the Church of Engiand was, in its
heart and principles, opposed to Popery and Romanism,
would never suffer that the country should be
burdened with that which had been once happily re-
moved from them--that which their forefathers were
not able and not willing to bear. And whatever
partiality might in the present day be evinced to tenets
differing from their own principles, they would not
tolerate this aggression. It was not, however, their
part to precipitate the frightful struggle that must
ensue in the case of these two conflicting principles
being brought into opposition. Let them endeavour
to uphold the Church of England in that purity which
had been handed to them, and not permit it to be over-
run by doctrines which were strange to this land.
He had not touched upon the insult which had been
put upon the Queen by this step of a misguided man
—(Loud cheers)—probably taken in consequence of
certain insinuations respecting England which had
been breathed into his ear, but which had no founda-
tion in fact, for he (Mr. Murray) believed that Eng-
land was truly Protestant at its heart's core. They
must see that these measures were aimed at the throne,
which it was their duty, as loyal subjects as well as
clergymen, to endeavour by all means to keep secure
and safe, while its antagonists tottered to their fall.
Oa these grounds he heartily concurred in the subject
of the memorial, and he did most thoroughly believe
that England would still maintain her position, not as
the creature of a foreign dominion, but in that glo-
rious situation in which Providence had placed her,
assigning to her the guardianship of Christianity
amongst the nations of the earth.—(Loud cheers.)

The Rev. Dr. CROLT said that he should be very
unwilling to see anything like division or disunion in
a meeting of that description, where all were united
in one common feeling. Ile thought the present ad-
dress premature, as the Bishop of London was to hold
his visitation in two days, and to memorialise him
just now would look somewhat like dictation. The
Bishop would give them his advice unasked. They
knew what his opinions were already, and he (Dr.
Croly) felt some anxiety in thinking that the address
was not addressed to the proper quarter. As to the
opinions and sentiments contained in that address,
there could be no difference of opinion ; but that ad-
dress ought to have been to the highest power in the
realm. There had already been an address to the
Bishop, and that was quite sufficient in anticipation,
as his opinions were already declared. In reference to
the subject before them, he would read one or two do-
cuments bearing upon it—the one was the rough
draught of an address to he'r Majesty, which he had
that morning prepared ; the other referred to the oaths
taken by the Sovereign on coronation. The Rev. Gen-
tleman then read the form of address which he pro-
posed, and proceeded. The Pope had usurped the
supremacy of England, Scotland, and Ireland
in the middle of the sixteenth century. That
supremacy was abolished in the seventeenth
century by the Ist of 'William and Mary. After
abjuring the doctrine that excommunicated princes
might be deposed and murdered, which doctrine he
Justly pronounced damnable, that oath proceeded to
say, " I do declare that no foreign prince, power, or
potentate, bath or ought to have any jurisdiction,
power, pre-eminence, or authority, ecclesiastical, or
civil, within this realm. So help me God." By the
Act 31st of George 111., a Papist might hold office
by taking the abjuring oath with reference to the
civil and temporal office of the Pope. The supremacy
or head of the Church was given to the king in 1534,
and confirmed in 1538, by the 26th of Henry VIII.
The oath was as follows :—" I do swear that I will
defend to the utmost of my power the settlement of
property within this realm as established by law, and
I do hereby disclaim, disown, and solemnly abjure any
intention to subvert the present Church Establishment
as established by law within these realms, and I do
solemnly swear that I never will exercise any privilege
to which I am or may become entitled, to disturb or
weaken the Protestant religion or Protestant Govern-
ment in the United Kingdom." At the ceremony of
the coronation the monarch, after having the two pre-
vious questions of governing according to the law and
causing the law and justice in mercy to be executed in all
judgments, was asked by the Archbishop the following
question, which was of much greater length than any
of the former :—" Will you, to the utmost of your
power, maintain the laws of God, the true profession
of the Gospel of the Protestant reformed religion, as
established by law ; and will you maintain and per-
form inviolably the settlement of the united churches
of England and Ireland, and the territories thereunto
belonging; and will you preserve unto the clergy and
bishops of England and Ireland, and to the united
church and all the territories under their charge, all
rights and privileges which, by law, do and shall ap-
pertain to them or any of them ?",, The monarch an-
swers, "All this I promise to do ; on which the mo-
narch proceeds to the altar, and there, receiving the
Bible, makes oath, holding his hand upon the book,
" The things which I have here promised I will per-
form ;so help me God. The book then was kissed
and the oath signed. After this he would mention a
fact showing the value of the oath administered to
Roman Catholics. Four years after the oath was
prescribed the Government of the country was
cast out by a combination of Roman Catholic
Members of Parliament on a question relating to
the confiscation of the whole of the property of
the church of Ireland, and afterwards upon ano-
ther measure (Lord Stanley's), by which ten
of the bishoprics were extinguished. One-fourth of
the whole episcopal body extinguished. As to the
act by which the present agitation was brought for-
ward in this country, he rejoiced at it. It bad
brought matters to a head, and there could be no
possible disunion or discrepancy of opinion respecting
the recent partition of this realm. It showed that it
was impossible to rely upon the word of Rome—
(Loud cheers)—that they could make no compact
with Rome.—(Renewed cheers.) It showed that
while dealing with us as a nation they had regarded
us as in a state of heathen barbariasm, abandoned by
the Gospel. As far as they (the clergy present) were
personally concerned, their ordination letters would not
be worth a straw. Rome regarded them as out of the
pale of Christianity any further than claiming the
right to exercise its power over us. Englishmen were
regarded as rebellioussubjects of Rome, and of course
as persons upon whom the whole power of Rome
should be exerted. But if the question were to be con-
sidered in any degree as serious he would indeed con-
fess that it must only be regarded as an act of divine
power for the purpose of awakening the
Protestant Church of England to its duties
interests, and necessities. Had this measure
not been adopted the Church of Rome
might have gone on seducing them, and for years en-
croaching upon the Church of England ; lsut now ward
was declared, and that in a manner as ridiculous
an
offensive as possible, from the state of things in which
P it was declared. Was it by the 1, ope, the master of
, , the world—a potentate distinguished by his ability

and energy, when kings held his stirrup and led his
horse, as it was fo:mnerly ? No, it was a feeble man
—a beggar upon the face of the earth—(Hear)--a
man living upon the alms of a degraded nation—the
lowest of all Sovereigns, endeavouring to subjugate
the most powerful of all empires.—(Hear, hear.) It
would be quite enough for them to rise as one man in
indignation, which waa the proper feeling, rather than
condescend to enter into argument with such a being.
It was a foul shame that the Pope—that worshipper
of idols—(Great applause)—that miserable dependent
upon the power and alms of a beggarly nation—that
the Pope, a man of nothing, should come and invade
these realms by his menials, for all men in the Popish
service were menials, and should say that England
had returned to its ecclesiastical order, from which it
had hitherto been wandering in darkness. This came
from a man who was himself dependent upon the
sound of the French drum, whose power was based
upon the presence of foreigners in Rome. 'Was it thus
that the great Church and people of England, ennobled
by so many illustrious recollections, powerful by its
hold upon the affections of the people, by its manage-
ment, conduct, and discipline, the gentleness of its
administration, and the dignity of his offices—(Hear,
hear)—was it this great Church which was to be
decked out as a victim for the altar of the Pope—a
sacrifice by its own want of caution ?—(Cheers.)
What they required was not to go to any inferior
quarter. lie had much respect for the Bishop, but
he advised them to go straightforward to the Queen
as the body of the clergy of London, and at once
present their memorial to her Majesty. He would
take the liberty of suggesting that the memorial he
had read, although it might not be adopted at that
meeting, might be adopted at some future one, as it
was, in his opinion, the just course for them to adopt
under the present emergency.—(Cheers.)
The Rev. R. 11. RUDDCCK said, that it was the
duty of the clergy of the city of London to be as
united in the defence of their privilege,: as their
brethren of Westminster. If the Roman Bishop had
been bold enough to parcel out Southwark and West-
minster, why should he not parcel out London aid
Finsbury ? He did not agree with the Rev. Dr.
Croly upon one point, for he would express his wish
and desire to approach the Bishop ; although, what
his advice upon the matter would be it was not diffi-
cult to anticipate. The attack and insult which had
been offered to them seemed to him to be the result of
a perfect infatuation. The Bishop of London himself
observed in his address to the clergy of Westminster
that it was not merely a mistake but absolutely a
false step. It seemed like an infatuation in a person
who had been hurled from his throne by his own
subjects—(Hear)—and sought safety in flight, before
being reinstated on that throne, to turn round and
parcel out the dominions of a Protestant Sovereign—.
the dominions of the greatest Protestant Power in
Europe. He believed that such steps were the signs
of desperation.—(Hear, hear.) In conclusion, he
would urge them to remain staunch supporters of the
faith transmitted to them, and in which they had been
reared.
The Rev. Dr. WORTHINGTON said the address
laid before them by Dr. Croly was worthy of future
consideration—it would be the basis of a subsequent
memorial ; but on the present occasion let them not
exhibit the faintest appearance of difference of senti-
ment, as as it would cause their enemies to believe
that the English Church was not capable of union or
co-operation. Several gentlemen of higher powers
than his own had pointed out to them various facts
connected with the Church of Rome, and he would
venture to mention a few. The first was, that the
Protestant historian Rankin had proved that the
asserted early dominion of the see of Rome over the
eastern and western Churches was a lie. As to the
right of appointing bishops in a foreign country,
Philip 11., even in his most bigoted days, had al-
ways refused that right to the Pope, and neither in
France nor Germany had such a power been ad-
mitted. Even the remarks made by the Papal see
upon the conditions and conduct of James 1., showed a
tendency to require a degrading subjection to it. It
was requisite that it should be fully under-
stood that the power of Rome, as asserted, was illegal
and unconstitutional, and was based upon depravity
and falsehood. Could they prove the assertion that
the early British Church—British or Anglo-Saxon—
was ever under the dominion of the Romish see ?
Further, with respect to the penalty of praniuniro,
which had been characterised by the Romish see as
an excrabile statutunt, that statute enacting who should
obey any dictate from Rome or elsewhere, or do any
act affecting the jurisdiction of the Crown, in this
realm, should be put out of the King's protection,
their lands and goods confiscated for the King's use,
and themselves dealt with as the King, in his Council,
should advise. The Magna Charts provided, also,
distinctly for the liberty of the Church, and provided
against its undue infringement by any power what-
soever. If they agreed to this memorial, he hoped
that it would give warning to those formerly of the
English Church who had lapsed to Rome, and those
who were said to be in a state of transition. It would
make them turn to one thing or the other—either to
the Church of Rome or to the Church of England.

He trusted that their proceedings of that day would
have a beneficial effect in inducing both clergy and
laity to join and resist this act of aggression.
The I{ev. Mr.llAnniao supported the proposition
for an addreis to the Biehop, as it stated the grounds
upon which e founded their objection to this inno-
vation from Rome. They were, however, privileged
to address the Throne subsequently, if they should so
determine.

The Rev. Mr. Holm then addressed the meeting
briefly, and after a few words from Dr. RussaLi.,
The CHAIRMAN put the question, when the address
was agreed to nein. con.
It was afterwards agreed that a future meeting
should take place to consider the propriety of pre-
senting an address to her Majesty.
The meeting then thanked the chairman, and se-
parated.

THE LATE FIRE IN MARK-LLNB.-RECOVEUY OF
SOME THOUSAND POUNDS WORTH OF PROFEHTT. Six
weeks had. yesterday elapsed front the time the groat fire in
Mark-lane commenced, and during the whole of that period
between 30 and 40 men have been employed in cooling the
ruins and collecting together the salvage, but of such magni-
tude is the former, that it is expected another three weeks
will be required to get the articles still remaining out: The
amount of bristles already recovered is enormous; it is com-
puted that from 24 to 25 tons have been taken out and safely
housed in one of Messrs. Gooch and Cousins' wool-ware-
houses. Some of these articles were worth from 12s. to l 6s.
per lb. It is expected that what have already been saved
will realize from 3,500/. to 4,0001. An iron press has been

, .
extricated, of immense weight, and many parts were coin.
pletely fused. Many of the trophies sent over to this country
for the friends of the officers who fell under Lord Gough,

have been totally destroyed. The amount of iron and steel
work got out of the ruins it is expected will weigh 45 tons.
Ten tons of horse hair have also been got out very little

damaged, and from two to three tons of bitter aloes, and 6()
tons of jute. As much as 00/. has been realised up to the
present time by the sale of some of the most cumbersome
articles taken out. A vast quantity of goods ( f every
description, however, still remain beneath the surface of the

ruins.
EXHIBITION or 1851.—The time baring expired
for receiving applications for space in the building from local
committees, no further applications can be received by the
Executive Committee. Yesterday the lists of intending ex-
hibitors were closed. There was a great rush of applicants
at the last moment, as we anticipated; and the amount of
space demanded in some quarters has been nearly doubled
within thi► week; but, inasmuch as the full and authentic
lists will be drawn up forthwith, we refrain from giving fur-
ther random and piece-meal accounts of the promised con-
tributions. It will be, however, absolutely necessary to re-
ceive application■ from one or two localities, the products of
which will not be found in the lists. Unless many applica-
tions for space have been made within the last fortnight,
under the section of raw materials, the Exhibition will, we
apprehend, I.e deficient in British minerals and vegetable
products. We hazard this opinion with the view of draw-
ing the attention of those whose industry has not vet found
adequate representation, to the necessity of bestirring them-
selves.

WINDSOR, THURSDAY.— Her Majesty and his Royal
Highness Prince Albert and Royal Family will arrive here on
Friday (this day) to luncheon. The royal party and suite
will travel by the South-Western line of railway to Basing-
stoke, and thence by the Reading branch to Windsor, on the
Great Western line. Several of the royal vans, with lug-
gage, arrived here yesterday. Her Royal Highness the
Duchess of Kent, who came to Frogmore on the 18th inst.,
is enjoying excellent health, and takes her usual carriage
airings when the weather is favourable. The Royal Duchess
drove as far as Claremont last week. The Prince of Wales's
birthday will be celebrated at the Castle on the 9th proximo.
Her Majesty's private band, which has not played before
the Court since the death of Sir Robert Peel, has received
orders to meet for rehearsal at the Castle to-day. Mr. Hor-
ton, from the Opera House, has been appointed oboe player,
in the room of the late Mr. Plorke. Between two and three
hundred workmen are engaged at the Castle, preparing for
her Majesty's reception.
ACCIDENT TO MR. CHARLES MATHEWS AT THE
LYCIVII THEAME.—Last night an accident occurred to
Mr. Charles Mathews, the lessee of the Lyceum Theatre,
during the performance of the new comedy, My Heart's Idol,
which it is expectsd will prevent him from fulfilling his pro-
fessional duties for some time. In the first scene Mr.
Mathews fences with Mr. Vining, and during one of the
thrusts given by the latter gentleman, the point of his sword
unfortunately passed through the palm of Mfr. Mathews' left
hand. That gentleman immediately left the stage, and the
audience were not aware that the accident had happened
until Mr. Roxby, the stage manager, approached the foot-
lights, and craved their indulgence for a few moments, as
Mr. Mathews had met with an accident. The curtain was
dropped, and the orchestra performed several pieces, but the
audience becoming impatient, Mr. Roxby came forward and
announced that the comedy could not be performed, and that
he was then waiting for the arrival of the company for the
last piece. The performances were resumed after a delay of
about an hour. On making inquiries at the stage-doonr, it
was foiled that Mr. Mathews was suffering acute pain, ad
that Dr. Jones; his medical adviser, bad dressed the wound,
which was of a most serious character. It is announced that
the theatre will be closed this evening in consequence.
THE IMPEOTEMEETE IE CHANCERY...LAILPIE.--at a
local meeting held last evening it was stated, that after all,
the exertions that bad been made, and the highly liberal
concessions offered by Mr. Steel, matters still remained in
state quo, and that unless the benchers of Lincoln's Inn take
up the matter immediately this most dangerous thorough-
fare will be continued for many years to come, The dryads
and hamadryads of the woods and forests will not move in
the matter, nor will Lord Radnor ; hence the continuance
of a nuisance fraught with every mischief and danger to tili%
most crowded highway
