ROYAL SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GA RDENS.
EXTRAORDINARY AND NOVEL ATTRACTIONS.
This Week, being the Anniversary of the Great Fire of London,
1666, Mr. Southby has arranged to give extraordinary effects to this
matchless representation, and introduce a display of the admired
wa,er. jets de feux, with other devices, to form a Gil aND
PYROTECHNIC DISPLAY.
On MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, and TA URSDAY.
throughout tht Season, the Gardens will open with the following
attractive Novelties :
VIE PICTURESQUE GROUNDS—FEEDING OF THE
ANIMALS—UNRIVALLED MENAGERIE.
MODELS of VENICE and LONDON in the OLDEN TIME,
Painted by Danson and Tend's.
The sensation mused by this unrivalled production is beyond all
Ikermer f> ecedent ; the artist, the amateur, the casual observer
are all struck with its extraordinay beauty and fidelity of delinea-
tion, and are unanimous in pronouncing it the most wonderful ex-
hibition ever witnessed. To view it only as a vehicle for the terrific
isplay at Dusk is unjust ; it should be seen in the calm stillness of
the quiet Evening, with Its Towers and Steeples reflected in the spa..
elms Lake, to be fully appreciated.
Beethoven's celebrated Battle Sinfonia, de,criptive o f an En-
saptment between the French and Englio'Armies.
'The Evening PROMENADE CONCEKTS on Mon.lays, Tues-
days, Wednesdays, and Thursdays cont.ucted by Mr. Godfrey,
are up-n a scale of more than usual excellence; nut ssords fail in
doing justice to the awful representation of
THE GREAT' FIRE 01. LONDON.
Its fearful characteristics are truthfully pourtrayed, but at the same
Lime so beautifully blended with the Wonders of the Pyrotechnic
Art, rust delight it predominant over terror; and the Thousands
who nightly crowd the Gardens hail it with acclamations, and admit
that .:cartbby, .he Unrivalled Pyrotechnist has achieved a matchless
riuraph.

A Correspondent in the Morning Herald, who
dates from Exeter, states that he is credibly informed
" that notices of objection to the registration of three
hundred and twenty-four Conservatives have been
served in one parish alone in that city, by the hired
agents of the Anti-Corn-law League; that it is re-
ported that in Exeter altogether about a thousand
notices have been thus served, the delivery of which
was made last Sunday; and that the League have alio
,ent in claims as well as objections; and that it is
believed that their money has been employed in pay-
ing up the rates of parties who were in arrear." Our
Contemporary's Correspondent adds, as his deliberate
opinion, that similar proceedings have taken place
;enerally throughout the country, as the Chairman
observed at the last Covent-garden meeting that Com-
mittees for such purposes had been formed in a hun-
dred and forty places ; and winds up his budget of
;rievances by the following touching reflection :
Surely it is time for all honest men to unite for the
suppression of such an atrocious combination as that
of the League, in whose hands the Reform Act may
be made an engine of the most odious tyranny that,
perhaps, England ever groaned under." Granting
that what the Herald's Correspondent here states of
the proceedings of the Anti-Corn-law League is
true—and we most sincerely hope it is—then we say
that the course they are adopting is not only justified,
but imperatively called for, by circumstances. But
were it not so, still it is not for a Tory to ob-
ject to their policy, for in paying attention to the
register, they are only following the advice given to
his party by Sir ROBERT PEEL--in fact, taking a leaf
out of the Premier's own book. " Attend to the
register," said the Right Hon. Baronet to the Con-
servatives in his most impressive manner, " for it is
in the Registration Courts that the battle of the Con-
stitution must be fought." Well, the League follows
this advice, looks sharply after the register, with a
view to see that no improper persons are allowed to
appear on it, and that those only shall vote who are
authorised to give a vote. But this, it seems, is an
act of " odious tyranny" on the part of the Anti-
Corn-law League !If so, it is a tyranny recom-
mended by Sir ROBERT PEEL himself, and cannot,
therefore, with any show of consistency, be con-
demned by a Conservative. Can that be an uncon-
stitutional act in a free-trader which, when resorted
to by a monopolist, is an act of constitutional necessity?
Can it be right in a Conservative to adopt the counsel
of the Premier, and wrong in a Liberal to follow
the suggestions of the same high authority ?
Es there one law of right for this party, and
mother for that? The bare supposition of such
thing is a most preposterous absurdity. The
truth is, the Tories.—or Conservatives as they
prefer calling themselves are notoriously in-
tolerant of every species of interference but that
which they themselves originate, and carry out into
practice. When they interfere with the register, then
dl is perfectly just and constitutional; but when the
'me-traders, following in their footsteps, presume to
take the same liberty, then the act becomes one of
odious tyranny," which all good men and good
citizens are bound to visit with their severest repro-
bation ! However it may be with the Tories, the
community at large will not understand these nice
distinctions, but will give the Anti-Corn-law League
credit for the just and patriotic spirit that prompts
them in their endeavours to reform the register, and
for the steady determination with which they follow
up this important branch of their public duty.
Abundant mischief has already been done by the
Tory party in their vexatious interference with the
register, and it is now high time that the League
should step bodly forth to prevent the perpetration of
further mischief, and open men's eyes to the real state
of the case. We, therefore, earnestly conjure the
members of this great national confederacy to per-
severe in their patriotic and every way constitutional
purpose. We conjure them to watch the register
with the most active vigilance, and to treat the
clamour of the Tory faction with the cool, con-
temptuous indifference, to which such an interested
outcry is entitled. "Attend to the register !" was
the advice of Sir ROBERT PEEL to his party.
"Attend to the register !" is our advice to the Anti
Corn-law League. This is one of their chief instru-
ments of success. It has already answered well
in the hands of the Tories, and in the hands of the
free-traders it is calculated, if worked in a straight-
forward, energetic spirit, to be of inestimable benefi
to the good cause. The very outcry of the mono
polists is the best testimony to its efficiency !

empire. He is well paid for his scanty labour.
He was promoted by the liberal party to his present
position--he, in fact, owed his elevation to the politics
of Mr. O'Cormsu.-r—to the determined support of the
Irish to the IVhig Government; yet he is lurking in
some corner when he should be in the battle array, de-
fending the interests of his party. We fear the old
Whigs are doomed to destruction. Many of them
have become renegades. The most conspicuous of all
we will not name, because it would be a work of
supererogation. But, thank GOD, we have honest
men among the modern Whigs. Lord DENMAN
deserves the highest honour for his speech on the writ
of error. Lord CAMPBELL has never swerved from his
honourable character, and, at the conclusion of his
speech, he said, in the true spirit of liberty, the
appeal was not from the Irish to the English judges,
but to that Chamber, in the exercise of one of its most
important functions, which he hoped their Lordships
would long exercise for the benefit of the country
and the protection of its liberties. They have exer-
cised one of its most important functions, and
to their honour, notwithstanding all the tricks
of renegades, have done justice to Ireland. We
believe there is no inhabitant of the United
Empire that rejoices more at this happy result
than our beloved QUEEN. Her affections towards
Ireland are well known. From her infancy she
has mingled with many of the people of that country;
she knows that none welcomed her accession to the
throne more than Mr. O'CONNELL, and that no
subject has testified more loyalty to her person than
the man who has been imprisoned unjustly for three
months. Royalty has duties as well as rights. Her

is a paragraph in the Siecle, which says—" The
Otaheite affair continues to create great anxiety in
the Cabinet, which it threatens with a dissolution.
When Marshal SOULT left Paris for St. Amand, he
openly expressed his disgust at the part it was at-
tempted to make him play in the Ministry. He since
tendered his resignation, and for nine slays together
refused to sign any document. The Council was vir-
tually dissolved. Through a weakness too habitual to
him, the Marshal has withdrawn his 'resignation ; but
he has made his conditions, the principal terms of
which are these—the recal of M. D'AUBIGNY is the
sole satisfaction that shall be yielded to England, and
it shall be clearly explained that he is recalled because
his conduct has been partly disavowed by his supe-
rior, Captain BRUAT." We are inclined to place little
confidence in this statement. No member of the
Cabinet, not even M. GUIZOT, is more anxious for
peace with England than the veteran Marshal. He
has seen enough of war, he is satisfied with
the laurels he so bravely won, and would
be the last to endanger the peace of the
world by any rude conduct towards a country that
he always speaks of with the highest respect. May
there not be some other cause ? Is the Marshal quite
satisfied with the displays made by the Prince DE
JOINVILLE, and by the plans of the Court to obtain
popularity for the younger branches of the Royal
Family, even at the risk of war ? With the exception
of that mad journal, the National, which talks of
declaring peace to England at St. James's, the journals
are more pacific. Even the Siecle, which is occa-
sionally very warlike, thus professes to wish for
peace :—" The press of London has the good sense
now to acknowledge that our squadrons gave proofs
of intrepidity and skill in the attack upon Mogadore.
It would have been difficult, indeed, this time to
maintain that success was due to the ignorance or
confidence of the Moors in allowing our ships to take
up their positions before firing upon them. As soon
as the squadron was within reach, the Moors
opened their fire, and it was under a brisk cannonade
that all our ships laid themselves in the positions as-
signed to them. Two ships of the line were forced,
by the shallowness of the water, to keep at a distance
of 1,800 metres from the batteries of the enemy, and
it certainly cannot be said that gunners, who at this
distance battered down fortifications, which were
built by Europeans, and defended by the Moors
with the courage of despair, showed a want of skill.
It is proper also to observe that, with the exception of
two men, calling themselves officers on board the
Warspite, but not daring to publish their names,
there is not an English seaman who does not speak in
proper terms of our squadron. Two great nations,
whether friends or enemies, ought always to respect
each other. For our part, whilst we condemn se-
verely the policy of our Government, we have made,
and shall always make it a law, to avoid whatever
might offend the just pride of the British nation."
The following article in the National, to which we
have alluded, we give as a curiosity :
" While we should be making our preparations, Eng-
land would, no doubt, do all in her power to obstruct us;
but if the preparations were well directed—if we availed
ourselves with ability of the embarrassments into which
England would be thrown, by having to provide for the
defence of her thousand colonies and her innumerable
merchant ships, to land at Hastings—the English would
be obliged to submit to the law of the conqueror, and in
two days afterwards we should dictate terms of peace at
St. James's. England has but few troops, and perhaps
the least warlike population in Europe. As to commu-
nications with France, an army landed in England would
not need them long, because its campaign would be very
short ; and besides our troops would not, probably, swim
across the Channel, but the transports which carried
them over would be ready to bring them back, after
breaking the yoke of aristocracy under which the people
of England, as well as the greater part of the world,
have been made to bend."
We subjoin additional extracts from the papers :
A letter from Brussels of the Ist says :—" The repri-
sals ordered against Prussian navigation, relative to the
tolls of the Scheid, had decided the Cabinet of Berlin,
which takes a far greater interest in its provinces in
Northern Prussia than in those of the Rhine, to renew at
Brussels the negotiations so suddenly interrupted in the
month of June. Last night a treaty of thirty articles
was signed by General Goblet and Baron d'Arnim.
This treaty comprehends, in one single convention, stipu-
lations relative to the tariffs, and those which refer to
the advantages of navigation. It is confidently asserted
that Prussia places us in an exceptional position of fa-
vour of 33 per cent. relative to the duties lately imposed
on the entry of foreign iron, whatever quarter it comes
from. This article is the principal point of the new con-
vention. Prussia obtains in compensation definitively the
enjoyment of the treatment of an allied nation in the
Scheld, the repayment of the tolls of this river, the pecu-
liar advantages of bonding in the port of Antwerp, and
the transit by the railroad."
The Constitutionnel says—
" Yesterday, some of the servants belonging to the
Tuileries were occupied in the court-yard in loading a
quantity of baggage, without doubt for the journey to
Eu. It appears, however, that the King does not think
of making so long a stay there as he does each year at
this residence. On the contrary, a theatrical representa-
tion is spoken of as being about to be given in the thea
tre of St. Cloud, which has been just repaired and em-
bellished. The piece to be given is an old opera, called
Raoul de Crequy, by Deleyrac. It was chosen by the
King himself, and is now in preparation."
The Debats contradicts, on the authority of a let-
ter from Italy, the statement that Prince JOSEPH
BONAPARTE had bequeathed 66,000 f. to his brother,
JEROME, ex-King of Westphalia. He left him
simply a snuff-box, as a mark of his affection, and
another to Prince Louis. The fortune of JOSEPH,
the latter says, is far from being so considerable as
was stated.

CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.)
One of Wilson's omnibus drivers on the Holloway •
road was charged with furious driving, and thereby en•
dangering the lives of her Majesty's subjects. The
number of the omnibus is 3,871.
Police-constable, 175 N, deposed that on Sunday
morning he saw the omnibus going from Holloway
towards the City. When the prisoner reached the Blue-
coat Boy he began to lash his horses violently, and gal-
loped down the road at the top of their speed, in order
to get before an omnibus in advance of it. This, by dint
of hard driving, he effected. The road was crowded at
the time with persons going to Divine service, and they
-
were were running on to the pavement in order to avoid the
vehicle.

The witness, in answer to a question from the Magis-
trate, said this conduct had become habitual with the
defendant.—He was fined 11., and costs.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

(THIS DAY.)
Mr. William Cohn Smith, of No. 10, Victoria-grove,
Kensington, barrister-at-law, was charged (as entered
on the police-sheet) with being drunk and riotous, and
assaulting the police.
Police-sergeant John Wells, No. 185 of the C division,
stated that between one and two o'clock this morning,
is he was proceeding on duty through James-street,
Haymarket, he saw the defendant in a very drunken
state holding by some area railings. Two dirty, low
prostitutes were with him ; they took him by the arms,
and were endeavourinr, to get him away. One of them
ieeing witness approach, called out, "Ellen, here's a
b---y peeler coming." He then went up to
the defendant, and acquainted him with the cha-
' racter of the company he was in, on which
the defendant said " You're a d—d, infernal, lying
scoundrel—one of them is my wife." The witness,
haying done what he thought to be his duty, to put the
defendant on his guard against being robbed, was walk-
ing on, when he followed him, made use of grossly
abusive language, and eventually assaulted him by taking
him by the collar ; on which witness took him into
custody.
The defendant was proceeding to cross-examine the
witness in a very loud and violent strain, when he was
reproved by Mr. HARDWICK for his intemperate and
unbecoming mode of conducting himself.
The defendant said thathewasperfectly sober. Hewes,
in fact, returning from a professional consultation. He
was certainly speaking to two very young unfortunate
prostitutes, who had accosted him, soliciting charity.
He gave them a shilling. He had a serious charge of
misconduct against the police, which he should instantly
prefer in the proper quarter.
Mr. HARDWICA asked Inspector Aggs, of the C divi-
