NEW CLOTHING ESTABLISHMENT.

RICHMOND,

Nos. I, and 3, PARADISE-STREET,

T R. announces to his Friends and the Public that
ti • he has added to the

WOOLLEN DRAPERY AND TA.,SLierNG BUSINESS,
READY-MADE CLOTifflfG DEPARTMENT,
ON AN ENTIRELY NEW PRINCIPLE,
Combining FASHION and QUALITY with first-rate Work-
manship at the LOWEST REMUNERATING PRICES.
It is not the principle of the Proprietor of this Establishment
to quote a list of prices ; such is no criterion—quality is the
test of cheapness; nor has he any wish to puff off extremely
low-priced Goods, which rarely give satisfaction. He will
offer Goods of sterling make at the lowest possible prices,
such as will ensure extensive sale, and give entire satisfaction
to the wearer. _

The ORDER DEPARTMENT is replete with every Novelty,
and first-rate talent employed in the Cutting, and no extra
charge for Ordered Garments.
The WOOLLEN TRADE conducted as usual, and the Stock
is first-rate.
The SHIRT and HOSIERY DEPARTMENT is unsurpassed,
either for Quality, Make, Variety, or Price.
J. R. therefore confidently recommends an inspection, which
will amply repay economists, and prove the system on which
his Business is conducted.

LETTER FROM A LONDONER
ON THE GREAT EXHIBITION.
You ask me to employ my rhyming quill,
In writing to you a line—and so I will ;
For I confess I'm in a disposition,
To tell you something of the Exhibition.
You'rmell aware that ev'ry public journal
Has plaitislied sketches, weekly anti diurnal,
And these said notices, you may rely,
Had raised my expectation very high ;
Yet, when I entered at the Palace door,
This mighty-formed museum to explore,
I must confess it filled me witiLturprise
To see the various objectOolind me rise ;
I stood a while, and knorrnot where to go,
Or what to view, in Abis mysterious show ;
I felt, in fact, a kifid of thrilling awe,
At what, in wonderment, I heard and saw,
While lofty,elin trees waved with vernal green,
And added nature to the varied scene,
While living gardens show'd their beauteous blooms,
And breathed around their exquisite perfumes ;
Ten thousand vat ied objects seem'd to say,
" Stay, curious stranger, for a moment stay ;"
The costly jewels glittered in their screen,
And gave a lustre to the gorg9ous scene ;
Enormous statues proudly rose to view,
And lofty columns show'u what man could do ;
The passing hours on massive bells were toll'd,
While heavy thunders from the organs roll'd ;
And I beheld in each well-ordered part,
The native samples of each nation's at ;
The models in the miniature display'd,
A pleasing group in this renown'd arcade ;
While costly clocks from lofty galleries hung,
And pendulums in ceaseless motion swung;
The Gold and Silver glittered in their case,
And added lustre to the shining place.
All I beheld was beautiful and good,
And gazing on the scene I wond'ring stood.
If I remember rightly, you inquire
Concerning the materials for attire ;
And I, in answer, say that I beheld
Such specimens as never were excell'd ;
The manufacturers have really shown
A claim to praise which all will freely own.
But what I saw is neither more nor less,
Tian lIYANI manufactures in his dress ;
The improvements here (which can't be over-rated),
At 11YAM'S Mart have been anticipated.
No sooner are improvements brought about,
Than HYAM takes them up and brings them out :
Hence that celebrity which he has won,
And hence the trade which he has ever done.
These notions I've asserted all along,
Nor have I asserted what is wrong.
When you to Paxton's Palace shall repair,
And see the various things which I saw there,
You'll have the same opinion, and confess,
That, in the vicious articles of dress,

REPRESENTATION OF YORKSHIRE.-At a protectionist
meeting at Doncaster, on Saturday, it was announced
that Mr. Denison, one of their members, had declared
it to be his intention not to present himself at the next
election for their suffrages ; it was therefore urged that a
staunch protectionist should be invited to come forward.

L[BERALIIY OF THE DUKE OF NORTHUMBERLAND.—
The Duke of Northumberland, with characteristic libe-
rality and consideration, has issued his instructions to his
agents in this county to select from each of his bailiwicks
a certain number of cartwrights, artisans, and intelligent
farm servants, to the number in all of about one hundred
and fifty, for whom his grace has made arrangements to
defray the expeffe, not only of their journey to and from
London, but also for their maintenance during their stay
there, in order that they may have an opportunity of
inspecting the treasures of nature and art arranged within
the walls of the Crystal Palace, and that the influences
which wll arise from the exposition of industry may be
felt in the remotest parts of this county. The various
agents of the noble duke's vast estates have also received
similar 'proofs of his grace's favour and kindness.—New-
castle Journal.

LAUNCH OF A DANISH STEAMER ON THE CLYDE.—
On Thursday afternoon a very fine iron paddle steamer,
recently launched from the building yard of Messrs. J.
Henderson and Co., Renfrew, arrived in the harbour for
the purpose of completing her stores and clearing out
at the Custom-house preparatory to her voyage to Den-
mark. The steamer, which is named the Diana, is
intended to carry the Danish mails between Copen-
hagen and Flensburg, and has been fitted up with a
view to the navigation of that rather dangerous coast.
The model of the Diana is very fine, and, with a
well-executed figure-head of the chaste goddess at her
bows, she has an exceedingly trim and ship-shape appear-
ance. Her cabin accommodation is very superior, the
decorative portions having been finished with much taste
and elegance. Altogether the Diana, though not a very
large, is a very excellent, specimen of Clyde shipbuilding.
Her burthen is upwards of 150 tons, and she is propelled
by engines of nearly 100-horse power.—Glasgow North
British Mail.

COURT AND FASHION.

Her Majesty and Prince Albert, with their children,
went to the Zoological Gardens, in Regent's Park, on
Tuesday, and in the evening to the Italian Opera.—On
Wednesday, the Queen and Prince, with their royal
guests, revisited the Great Exhibition, and in the evening
her Majesty had a dinner party at Buckingham Castle.—
On Thursday, the royal party paid another visit to the
Exhibition, and the Duke and Duchess of Saxe Coburg
Gotha, and Duke Ernest of Wurtemberg, took leave of
her Majesty and departed for th; continent.

MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—The nuptials of Lord
John Manners, M.P., and Miss Louisa Georgina Marley,
only daughter of the late Colonel Marley, and grand-
daughter of the Countess Dowager of Charleville, were
solemnised on Tuesday last, at the church of All Souls,
Langham-place. The bride was attended by the following
young ladies as bride's maids :—Lady Henrietta Fermor,
Lady Beaujolois Bury, Lady Elizabeth Hervey, Lady Ka-
therine Howard, the Hon. Miss Boyle, and Miss Moore.
The marriage ceremony was performed by the Rev. Mr.
Norman, brother-in-law to the noble bridegroom. At the
conclusion of the ceremony, the party proceeded to the
residence of Mrs. Marley, in Cavendish-square, where a
sumptuous breakfast was laid out. Amongst the distin-
guished company present were his Grace the Duke of
Rutland, the Duchess of Sutherland and Lady Caroline
Leveson Gower, the Duches of Norfolk and Lady Adeliza
Fitzalan Howard, the Duchess of Richmond and Lady
Augusta Gordon Lennox, the Marchioness of Westmeath,
the Marquis of Granby, &c. The happy couple left town
in the course of the afternoon, for Haddon ball, the seat
of his Grace the Duke of Rutland, in Derbyshire.

The anomalies already nnticcd as to

places still more flagrant and glaring. Cork (with cer-
tainly large water area) requires 265 officers, getting
£9200, to collect £256,000; while Manchester, the most
easily worked Customhouse in the empire, collects by
means of only 28 officers, receiving £2500, more than
£319,000. Yet the Customs board, while they pay so
enormous a per centage for collection at Cork, grudge the

Several of our contemporaries have foolishly contradicted the
returns of the census for Liverpool as given in our last. We
had the best authority for the figures which we gave, and
their accuracy "would at once have been apparent had they

MORNING, JUNE 17, 1851

THERE are many people, unfortunately, in this
ill-governed world of ours, who are exceedingly
fond of talking oracularly of things about which
they know absolutely nothing. Our contemporary
of the Manchester Guardian is one of these people.
He seems to imagine that he can solve all the
knotty problems which have perplexed statesmen
and philosophers for centuries ; and that he is up
to everything, and a qualified teacher of all things.
His text is from Manchester. "We manage mat-
ters differently, and better here than in other parts
of the world," is his constant self congratulation.
Wisdom is centralised amid the din of spindles and
shuttles ; and cur friend himself is its only autho-
rised exponent.

In his publication of last Wednesday, our con-
temporary remarks upon a parliamentary return,
just published, showing the expenses of collecting
the customs in various ports. He tells us that in
London £11,134,317 is collected for £271,213
in salaries. Liverpool collects its revenue of

11 in salaries

MYSTERIES OF THE NUNNERIES,

(From the Dublin Correspondent of the Times.)
I have seen an extract of a letter from a town in the
west of Ireland, which makes some curious revelations in
connexion with the entrance into a convent of a young
lady, the daughter of a highly respectable gentleman, who
although himself a Roman Catholic, most stronglyobjects
to the undue influence which has been exercised to induce
his child to take a step contrary not only to his wishes,
but in a great measure opposed to the inclination of the
" devotee" herself. Although the names are mentioned
without reservation, it would perhaps be premature to
give them publicly at this early stage, as the whole affair
cannot much longer be concealed from public scrutiny.
The facts are briefly these :—The lady, who is in her 19th
year, was prevailed upon to forsake the parental roof
under the belief, duly impressed upon her by certain of
the sisterhood, that, like Joan of Arc, she had received a
call from Heaven, and, without as much as bidding her
family farewell, or apprising them previously of her in-
tentions, she took shelter in the convent. Here she was
persuaded to write to her father, imploring forgiveness
for the step she had taken " in answering the call of God,"
upon receipt of which the distracted parents demanded
an interview with their child. This was refused ; where-
upon her father intimated to the superioress of the con-
vent that he would never give a penny of his money to-
wards the support of the establishment. The answer to
this threat was a hint that they would receive her as a
" lay nun" (that is, a servant), in which capacity they
would send her to America, or some foreign station. The
bewildered parent next appealed to the diocesan, who
refused to interpose his authority, but told him he might
obtain an interview with his daughter, provided it should
be in the presence of a priest ; but, this gracious conces-
sion being declined, all hope of justice in that high quar-
ter was abandoned, and the matter rests for the present—
hut only for the present. The young lady was to have
had the sum of £5OO as her portion.

• On making further inquiry into this nefarious case, I
learn that the unhappy father had determined upon
bringing the whole case before the Court of Queen's
Bench ; but on 'aking the advice of counsel he was dis-
suaded from taking this step, as, no matter how fay oura-
ble the decision of that tribunal might be to his claim,
the young lady would be left at full liberty to return to
the convent, if she were so minded—an event by no
means improbable, considering the strange circumstances
connected with her flight from home. The sisterhood, I
have further learned, have decided upon sending their
protege'e to New Zealand in the capacity of a " lay nun";
but, notwithstanding this determination, Mr. (the
father) continues obdurate, and is resolved, come what
will, that the fruits of his industry shall never be spent
among the pious ladies who have taken so deep an inte-
rest in the spiritual welfare of his child.
