TASTE OF THE LONDONERS.

There is something curious about the gregarious pro-
pensities of Englishmen with regard to the amusements
of London. If we take a review of the success of exhi-
bitions, we shall find that where the thousands go the
millions will fellow; whether it be their taste or not, it
is the fashion to go, and they consequently do go ; as
instances, look at the exhibition of the Overland Route
of the Indian Mail, where it is considered heathenish
not to have been, and the Polytechnic Institution, where
the Alpine singers are now delighting everybody, and
where crowds collect daily to hear them; but these in-
stances are only the flimsy attributes of fashion, and in a
short time the novelty ceases, and the multitude ceases
to go; but why ? Are there not still the same valuable
and instructive lectures, and the same means of impress-
ing facts in philosophy on the mind? It may be pre-
dicted that in a few days we shall sea all the world
running to the new exhibition next door to the Poly-
technic Institution, which has been taken by Mr. Allow
to illustrate his travels in Turkey, Constantinople, and
the Bosphorus, being his first series, in which ho intends
faithfully to pourtray what he actually saw on a
secret visit to the Harem, into which he was (oh ! rare
delight) admitted. Again, we have just emerging
into popularity the noiseless carriages of Ur. Marks,
in Lengham-place; ere long, we shall, no doubt, he en-
abled to have our streets free from that audible tor-
ment of rattling carriages, Sec., which luxury
but a couple of years agone was to be
accomplished by wood pavement; the luxury of quiet
was certainly partially ac eotnplished, but with what re-
sult? Horses slipped u?, and people slipped down, some
broken limbs and unhappily some lives lost; still there
remains some of this absurdity, because it lulls the noisy
vehicle, and permits the shopsuan t(, prate to his cus-
whereas in streets paved with temer in an earthly voice,
stone an earthly voice cannot be heard. Now this is to
be accomplished by carriages being rendered noiseless,
having wheels shod with India rubber. Anon this sub-
jeet may be continued; but let this notice warn the
public against allowing themselves to be led away by the
fashion of the hour, instead of looking to those recrea-
tions which are blended with solid instruction. Wo beg
it to be understood that the subjects referred to in this
little article are all of the class which do convey both
useful and legitimate instruction; but beware of many
that do uot, end which frequeutly lead to vice.

mouth Mechanics' Institute, on Wednesday last, the
following petition to the House of Commons was
unanimously adopted on the motion of Mr. Smet-
hurst, seconded by Mr. Thomas M-actin :

" To the anoarable the Commons of the United King-
dom of Great Britain and Ireland in Parliament as-

sembled.
" Tho humble petition of the members of the Cocker-
mouth Mechanics' Institute, in the county of Cum-

b: rland,
" Sheweth—Tbat the above institute has been estab-
lished many years, during which it has been the means
of doing much good-, by promoting the welfare and hap-
piness of its members generally by being open on the
Sunday afternoon as a reading room.
" But as your Honourable House has lately been
pleased to pass a resolution prohibiting the delivery
of newspapers and letters on the Sunday, which day
they arrive in Cockermouth, keeping them locked up
till ,)londay, when the great majority of your petition-
ers, being working mec, have no means of reading or
seeing them;
" We ti:erefore humbly pray that your Honourable
House will be pleased to resciud your late resolution, so
that we may learn the passing events, and read the de-
bates of your Honourable House as usual.
" And your petitioners will ever pray."
Another petition of the electors and inhabitants of
the place has been numerously signed by all parties
of politicians, and a general feeling of indignation
exists in the town against the Commons' resolution.
We trust the example set by Cockermouth will be
speedily followed by every town in the kingdom, for
a 'twee insolent, dictatorial, inconvenient, absurd,
and canting measure was never Wore heard of in
England.

NAV AL INTELLIGENCE.

MALTA, JUNE 22.—The Ganr.,,ev, 81, arrived on sun,
dny last, from Athens, havieg had amadvantae of a
F tiff breeze, ran up to her moorings in pretty vyie.
Previous to her arrival reports were in Circulation that
sotae of her officers had rendered tbemseivc,o amenable to
a court-martial, and that ore was to be aa,erubled.

There is no truth at all in the zeport.
The fleet, it i 3 raid, will thortly quit port—some say
for a cruise to Fort Mahon; others, to meet her Majesty
at Gibraltar;. but nothing positive* on the subject is
known. Generally the fleet is to a healthy state, not-
withstanding the awful " cholera cry" every day heard.
The sailbrs have had their leave considerably abridged,
and the bum-boats are not allowed to bring ofd' any
fruit fur sale before being first inspected by a medical
officer.

The Medusa, with the Indian mails, may be expeted
on the 24th inst.

The Triton, V. ith mails from the lonian Islands, is due
Op the 24th inst.

The Medusa is under orders to convey the India mail
to Marf.eillev.

The Antelope is ordered to Constantinople, to relieve
the Porcupine, and will sail, it is said, on Monday.
The Hogue steam•frigate is hourly expected. Her
mooring buoys have been Jail down.
The general health of the city is not of a nature t
cause any alarm, but it is yet such as to cause much
anxiwy. The various reports of cholera having broken
out among, us ive not confirmed, although a disease
very much like it has made its appearance, and has
been designated by medical men as yastro interitis.
When fatal, it curries off the rerv,,n attacked in three
to five hours. Fortunately the attacks are very limited
in number at present, and are e•Atily troughs under sub-
jection by the medical men. Our bills of health are
onriscquEN.tly " touched," though they arc not as yet au-
tualy foul.

day {publishes the convention between the King of
the BELGIANS and the King of PRUSSIA. concerning
the establishment of international communication by
means of electric telegraphs, dated &lay 16, 1850.

tween Berlin, Brussels, Antwerp, and Ostend, viu
Aix: la-Chapelle,.

The Brussels line is to be extended to a point of the
Belgic-French frontiers, where the Belgic line is to

down at the mutual expense of the two Gavernments.
For the telegraphic service the railway station at

THE GENTLEMEN OF KENT v. THE GENTLEMEN

This match, which for many years has been one of no
common interest in the cricket world, was yesteiday morning
commenced at Lord's, and strange to say was on the seine
day brought to its finality by the Gentlemen of England
carrying off the laurels in one innings by,32 runs. The
history of thiS match may be thus in a few words told. The
Kent representatives c,,uld neither play the " lightning
flash" of Mi. Fellows, nor the slow pace of Mr. JOnes Nash ;
and hence it came to pass that whilst in the first hands 59
runs were all that they could obtain,• so in the second they
were either ripped up by the one or chiselled by the other
for seventeen ! The score stood thus

BELGIUM.

BRUSSELS, JUNE 28.—The official Journal of, this
day publishes the convention between the King of
the BELGIANS and the King of PRUSSIA. concerning
the establishment of international communication by
means of electric telegraphs, dated May 16, 1850.
It appears, from articles of this treaty, that electric
telegraphs are to be established and kept up be-
tween Berlin, Brussels, Antwerp, and Ostend, via
Aix-la-Chapelle.
The Brussels line is to be extended to a point of the
Belgic-French frontiers, where the Belgic line is to,
join that of France.

The whole of the telegraphic lines are to be laid
down at the mutual expense of the two Governments.
For the telegraphic service the railway station at
Verviers is to be cousidered the frontier station be-
tween the two countries.

An Admiralty order has arrived at Portsmouth to
have a butt constructed of old boiler-plates, of the
thickness and strength of the Simoom's side, on pur-
pose for the Excellent, gunnery-ship, to practice at,
to test the effect of shot and shell on the iron plates
and rivets. We, however, incline to think there will
be but little good or information derived from this
practice. A real vessel would be the proper test ;
for we imagine that the opposite side of the ship from
that fired at would be the worst injured. A half-
spent ball passing out would do a vast deal more in-
jury to the iron plates than the side on which the shot
entered. Such a vessel as the iron brig Recruit, sold
out of the service fur a mere song, would have been
just the vessel to have experimented on. The Fire
Queen, a useless vessel, might be put to that use; but
her plates and sides are scarcely strong enough for
the purpose. however, the present trial, as ordered,
will be scarcely any test as to the effect of shot on
steam-vessels.—Herald.

HEALTH OP LONDON DURING THE

PAST WEEK.
(From the Report of the Registrar-General.)
In the week ending last Saturday the deaths regis-
tered in the metropolitan districts were 866, a num-
ber which, it is satisfactory to find, is still below the
average corrected for increase of population, though
it almost exactly coincides with the average if taken
without such correction. During the corresponding
weeks of ten previous years, 1840 -9, the deaths rose
by nearly constant progression from 795 in the first
year to 979 in 1848 ; the average, with an addition for
present population is 944, compared with which, the
number returned last week shows a decrease of 78.
The deaths included in the zymotic or epidemic class
amount in the present return, to 156 the corrected
average is 196. Of special epidemics, small-pox was
fatal to six children and two adults; scarlatina to 13;
both diseases, but particularly the latter, showing a
less mortality than usual. Measles destroyed 23
children, and a man of 35 years, who, according to
medical certificate, died of " measles (7 days) typhus
(5 days) ;" hooping cough 35 children ; these diseases
at present do not vary much from the average. 11
persons died of diarrhea. In the notes appended it
appears that in a house in Chandos•street, visited by
Mr. Leonard, the refuse of fish is kept till the smell is
intolerable, and the air is so vitiated that some of the
inmates have diarrhea, and have suffered during the
last two months from the complaint. Thirty-two
persons died of typhus, which is still less than the
average, but exhibits a slight tendency to increase.
A young boy died of intermittent fever. Twelve
women died of child-bearing, to six of whom death is
ascribed to puerperal fever. Diseases of the respira-
tory organs, exclusive of consumption, numbered in
the last week. 138, .being more than have occurred
usually at this season of the year—the average is 112.
Consumption carried off 125 persons; it fluctuated in
the corresponding weeks of 1840.9, between 103
deaths and 163. In the case of a lime-porter, who
died at the age of 50, this disease was produced by the
irritation of lime-dust to which he was exposed in
his occupation. The deaths of two women are re-
corded as the direct result of intemperance; and be,
sides these a blacksmith hanged himself, in a state of
unsound mind caused by intemperance ; and a clerk,
aged 24 years, drowned himself "in temporary in-
sanity brought on by excessive drinking." The
classification of deaths in public institutions, shows
that 66 deaths were registered as having occurred in
workhouses ; 50 in hospitals ; 6 in lunatic asylums ;
•
and 4 in.the Royal Hospital, Greenwich.

GERMANY.

The Berlin Constitutionelk of the 26th announces
that the Government purposes to introduce, if posible,
modifications in the press laws, having for object to aug-
ment the restrictive powers of the law, and in cases of
need to enable the authorities to suspend such journals
which are undoubted and direct enemies to order and
the State.

Accounts from Vienna of the 26th mention the
narrow escape of the Emperor of AUSTRIA from an
accident of a similer nature to that which caused the
death of the Duke of ORLEANS.
The mother of his Als.resTY, the Archduchess SO..
PHIA, had gone to the railway to meet her son, and
his MAJESTY took a seat in her carriage. The horses
had only proceeded a few steps when they started and
darted a!ong with great impetuosity. The ARCH-
DUCHESS, who had met with a similar misfortune the
day before, cried aloud for help. With the greatest
difficulty the foaming animals were stopped for a few
moments, during which his MAJESTY helped his mo-
ther and brother to make their escape from the car-
riage, and then to jump out himself. This had hardly
been accomplished when the axletree broke. The
EMPEROR manifested the greatest presence of mind,
and immediately afterwards entered the city in an..
other carriage. A hackney coachman rendered most
essential service by stopping the horses.

LITERATURE.
THE SCOTTISH CAVALIER. An Historical
Romance, By James Grant. 3 Vols.
Mr. Grant is favourably known as a writer of
historical romance. The delightful " Memoirs of
Kirkaldy of Grange," and the more elaborate " Ro-
mance of War, have have rendered him deservedly popular
with many readers. The " Scottish Cavalier" cannot
fail to enhance its author's literary reputation. Truth
and fiction are harmoniously blended in its pages, and
the very spirit of the times of which it treats is infused
into the characters who Lake part in its adventures.
Of its value in an historical point of view, and of the
rich anecdotal information with which it abounds, we
quote the following sketch of the famous "Scottish
Guard" of the French Kings, so well known to the
readers of " Quentin Durward" :

(From the Chronicle.)
Yes'erday was the " Derby Day." Long before this
announcement is in our readers' 12nds, everybody whom
it can possibly concern has been made aware that all the
" favourites" were beaten, and that Voltigeur (a horse
whose father was Voltaire, and who was ridden by
Marion), is the winner of the Derby fur 1850. The
owner is the Earl of Zetland, the head of English Free-
masonry.

Yesterday, as the " Derby Day," was remarkable in
two points of view. First, it was the first really sum-
mer day of the year. The fine weather, long looked for,
came at last. Even the trifling showers which, last
year, made the earlier hour or two of the Epsom pilgri-
mage a matter of nervousness, were absent. The morn-
ing was something cloudy, though it did not realise that
awful bundle of tautologies (every one of which repeats
another),
