THE grand event which will render the English capital a universal rendezvous, has led E. MOSES and SON to call the attention of the world-wide Public to their various Establishments as below. E. MOSES and. SON, let it be understood, are the Largest, Cheapest, and most Fashionable Tailors, Clothiers, Hatters, Hosiers, Furriers, Boot and Shoe Manufacturers, Perfumers, Fancy Cabinet Makers, Outfitters, and General Warehousemen, in the World. The Establishment in the City is at the Corner of the Minories and Aldgate, opposite the Church, and comprises eight houses, as below, all communicating, and forming one Vast Establishment; a separate House and Show-Rooms are devoted to each of the above branches of business, to securing their Customers that accommodation in making selections, that has gained for the proprietors universal praise. In each department will be seen the largest and richest Stock that can be found in any other three establishments in the Kingdom. The West-End Esta- blishment is in New Oxford Street, corner of Hart Street, and is comprised of six houses, all communicating, and formirg one Establishment; the same arrangements and public accommodation will be found here as in their City Establishment. The principles upon which E. MOSES and SON conduct their business are too well known to need much comment; it is perhaps necessary to say the system originated with the Proprietors, and the universal patronage that has followed, is the best proof of its having satisfied all. Nor can it fail doing so, when Goods can be purchased of them cheaper and better than at any other House in the Kingdom. Their immenae capital gives them the advantage of purchasing in the best markets, and at the lowest prices; and their constantly keeping an Agent in the Foreign markets, ensures them the certainty of having every novelty as soon as it is produced besides which, prizes are offered and awarded every year by the Proprietors for the most novel and best style of Garment that can be produced. The limits of an advertisement are not sufficient to enumerate all the advantages accruing from pu-' chasing of the Proprietors; among the many, are, that any article purchased of them, and at the time approved of can be exchanged, or the money returned, without hesitation. The marking of every article in plain figures is anro therttrong recommendation. E. MOSES and SON earnestly and respectfully urge and recommend all parties to- reserve their purchases, until they have, at least, seen their stock in each department. FREE ADMISSION to the City and West-End Establishments of E. MosES and SON is afforded, independent of any business transac- tions and the Proprietors hereby invite visitors to view their novel, extensive, and altogether extraordinary premise, in which their business is conducted, —premises which have been pronounced by competent judges to be without equal for vastness, splendour, and public accommodation. The Establishments are emphatically EXHIBITIONS and will highly interest all parties who may avail themselves of a free rauge through the celebrated premises. E_.

GAY, CHEMIST AND DRUGGIST, Opposite the Market House, High-street, Merthyr Tydvil, BEGS leave to return his most grateful thanks to the Inhabitants of Merthyr and Neighbourhood for t heir patronage during the time he has been in Business I in Merthyr, and to inform them that he has now REMOVED from opposite the Bush to the above Pre- mises, with an extensive Stock of genuine Drugs, Che- micals, Perfumery, &c., &c., scrupulously selected from none of the first Houses in London and begs to assure those Families who may favour him with theircommands, I that the greatest personal care and attention will at all times be given to the dispensing and retailing of all Medicines, thereby hoping to render himself worthy of that confi:ence and support which it will ever be his am- bition to merit. Hi3 experience in the Business, derived from having lived in some first-rnte Establishments in the Metropolis, will, he trusts, justify his pretension to public confidence.

GENTLEMEN, ——— AS one Gentleman has received a requisition to allow himself to be nominated as your Representa- tive on the next vacancy," and has thereupon offered himself "as a Candidate for the high honor of repre- senting you in Parliament,"—and as your votes have also been solicited on behalf of another Gentlemau, in the event of a vacancy,-I am anxious to remove an erro- neous impression which I have reason to believe exists with regard to my intentions. Looking back with grateful pride to the unvarying kindness, confidence, and indulgence shown by you to me during the 18 years I have been your Member, and being now able (as I have ever been most anxious) to attend in my place in Parliament, I do not feet that it is my duty,—and if it is not my duty, I certainly do not feel disposed to abandon my seat, or to give place to any one. I cherish with fond attachment the high honor of re- presenting you honestly, fearlessly, and independently on those terms only have I ever sat, or will I ever sit in Parliament; and on those terms, should my leturn be opposed at the next General Election, I stedfastly hope and believe that the vast majority of the Constituency will, by their votes, record their undiminished confidence in me. I am, Gentlemen, Your obliged and faithful Servant, JOHN NICHOLL. 33, Belgrave-square, 7th May, 1851. to THE ELECTORS OF ■■ CARDIFF, COWBMDGE, AND LANTRISSENT.

Through life I have consistently maintained the prin- ciples of FREE TRADE, and of PARLIAMENTARY REFORM, I trust, therefore, I need hardly assure you that on all occasions I mean to pursue the same course.

SIR, ——— X TRUST that VOH will allow me space in your valu- able columns to inform the rate-payers and inhabi- tants of Cardiff, that in consequence of the treatment to which I have been subjected, I have been compelled, in duty to myself, to resign my office as police-officer, which, I am proud to say, I have occupied to the satisfaction of the discriminating portion of the public, and with satisfaction to my own conscience. Thereporb produced against me by Mr. Sti'ckdale to the watch-committee I could easily refute, but my hands were tied, and I waa compelled to resign, or suffer the opprobrium'of being discharged, because I would not be servile enough to bow and scrape, and touch my hat to Mr. S., a la militaire,~— such procedures are at variance with my notions of what a man is and what he ought to be. I have been in the force nine months, and during that time I have surceeded, unaided and alone, in capturing six of the most notorious villains in this neighbourhood, and amongst them the notorious Punch,and transported the whole. For the conviction of •' Punch" I have brought down upoB me the anger of Mr. S., and have the treatment that I have received. 1 leave the good people of Cardiff to judge between me and my Opponent, and I am certain that the decision will be unanimously in my favour. I remain, sir, yours most respectfully, &c., &c., Cardiff, May 12, 1851, ) GEORGE FISHER. No. 77, Frederick-street. S

GENERAL MISCELLANY. It is expected that her Majesty and Prince Albert, with the Court, wiil remove to Oahorne about the 21st instant. Her Majesty held 4 dfawiog-room on Thursday (yes- terday). A grand entertainment was given on Monday, at Willis's-rooms, to the artists and sculptors who have con- tributed to the Exhibition. About 100 guests sat down. The foreign cumn,:isyouft"¡¡. to the nnmber of ZJO, will be entertaioed by the Lugijtsh commissioners, at the Star and Garter. Richmond, On Tuesday, the 20th iustant. On Thursday w^t*k a. young man named Bairstow, of Halifax, was thrown by a borse again.it a wall with such vi- olence that the conrussion. was heard at a distance of ten or twelve yards. lie died irnni diately. On Thursday week a man named James Baker, stabbed his cousin at Dockham with a red-hot rod of iron. about three feet long and an inch in dimeter, upon which he was at work making nails. The p-irties had been on bad term-t for some time past. The iron entered the side under the right arm in a slanting direction. Baker is in custody. and it is boped the prosecutor will 50011 be able to give evidence as he progresses favourably. On Tuesday the receipts at the Crystal Palace amoun- ted to a higher sum than has yet been received. So great was the influx of visitors that £2,200 was taken in money at the doors, and the sale of season tickets also rose so high that the funds of the Commission had during the day an accession altogether of at least £3,000. DEATH BY LIGHTNING.—During a storm which pre- vailed in the neighbourhood of Manchester on Thursday afternoon week, a young man named James Seddon, aged 22, whilst engaged setting potatoes on a farm at Brinnington Moor, occupied by Mr. Grundy, waa struck by the electric fluid, and killed on the spot. He had only been working in the field for ten minutes. On the cessation of the storm, a companion went for Seddon, and found him a corpse in the field, his clothes at the time having ignited, and burning upon his body. Last Thursday week £5,000 worth of Californian gold was abstracted from a luggage-train on the London and South Western Railway, during its transit from South- ampton to London. On Friday evening a box, contain- ing about £1,300 of the stolen property, was discovered at the foot of an embankment near the Winchester station. The presumption is that the act was perpetrated whilst the train was in motion, and that the boxes were thrown off to some accomplices. MURDER OF A YOUNG WOMAN.—A painful sensation prevailed in Norwich on Saturday, in consequence of a brutal murder committed by a man named James Flood, who resides in Bar-street. The forehead of the woman had a cut an inch and a half deep, the lid was also cut through, and the nosejwas broken, and she vomited blood. Mr. Day, a surgeon, attended, but deceased died. Caro- line Collins says, she heaul Flood say to deceased, You, 1*11 kill you;" when he struck her on the head, and knocked her down, and he then kicked her on the head." MANSLAUGHTER.—We have to report a case of homi. cide in Gloucester, arising out of a drunken fight, on Wednesday night week. It appears that an elderly man, named Jones, had been drinking with another man, named Saml. Chamberlain, on that day, and had become much intoxicated. They had had some more beer at the Lanthony Bridge Inn, on that evening, and the common result of a drinking bout—a quarrel—ensuing, the parties went out to fight. John Aston, a nephew of Jones, was much incensed against Chamberlain, and excited his uncle to fight. The combatants after two or three rounds became exhausted, and some respectable parties who had witnessed the transaction endeavoured to get the men taken away by their friends, but the man, John Aston, would not permit his uncle to yield, and, after using some threatening expressions, he struck Cham- berlain several violent blows on the head, from the effects of which he died in the course of the night. Jones and Aston were taken into custody, and an inquest was held .on Thursday at the Laburnarn Inn, Barton-terrace. The t.jury returned a verdict of "Manslaughter" against Aston, 19and he was committed for trial. Jones was set at ^liberty. ,E TOTAL Loss BY Fmq OF A BRISTOL VESSEL.—Intelli- gence has been received of the total loss of the ship Caroline, of Bristol, belonging to Mr. Cunningham, while it n her homeward voyage from Tobago, with a cargo of e urn and molasses. The crew, twenty in number, nar- owly escaped, having been obliged to take to the boats with nothing but two small casks of water, a cannisterof biscuits, and the clothes they had on. The vessel had sailed from Tobago about the 11th of April, and on the 15th of the same month, when about thirty miles off the small island of Savo, near St. Kitt's, it was discovered that a fire had broken out among the rum casks, supposed tohavebeencausedbyspontaneouseombustion. From the inflammable nature of the cargo, the fire increased so rapidly that it soon became evident that the ship must be abandoned. The crew had barely time to hoist out the boats and get into them, when the main deck blew up with a tremendous explosion, the fore deck and hatchway having blown up before the captain and mate had quitted the ship. The only things saved were the chronometer and sextant. The crew remained near the vessel until she was burned down to the water's edge, and then beat about in the boats, intending to make for the nearest land. They remained all night in the open seas, but about 7 o'clock next morning were picked up by a small sloop, which took them into the island of Sivo, and subse- quently to St. Thomas, whence they were brought home by the Great Western Mail Steam Ship, to Southampton. The vessel, we understand, was insured. There were no passengers. The following anecdote was related at a recent con- gregational meeting in Glasgow, on the authority of an eminent solicitor in Edinburgh, who was a witness of the transaction :— On the 18th May, 1843, when the disruption of the re- ligious establishment of Scotland was expected to take place, there met. in the office of the G- C two men, well known in Edinburgh society, and to the country generally the one P- R ——, now Lord R-, and the Otber the renowned and now lamented Lord Jeffrey. Lord K was one of those who doubted the honesty and sin- cerity of the non-intrusionists, and joined in the sneer of those who admitted that or ten of the men who had most deeply committed themselves might come out. LaId R-, along with Lord JetTerv, had gone, that day to a place that overlooked the line of the expected proces- sion, in the hope rather that sinister predictions might be veritied than that honour and courage and fidelity might be vindicated and exemplified. At last the long looked-for moment arrived; the door of St. Andrew's Church WlS opened, and there i-sued forth Chalmers, Welsh, and Mac- farlane, followed by a long continuous line of hundreds of their les* known but not less determined brethren, and the late establishment of Scotland was in the streets and fre: The eye could not number the blackening train—the pre- diction was not fulfillerl,-and the result was the exclama- tion—• The fools thus to leavetheir fat livings for a whim Lord Jeffery took a diffeient view of the nutter, and a truer and nobler one With deep emot'on—his eye,—that sharp piercing eye, — filled with tears,—he uttered the words— • Thank God for my country there is uot another country in the world where such a deed could have been donp.' The Scottish Guardian, in which the above anecdote is recorded, adds that" history will verify and honour the words." It is early yet, however, to appeal to history in testimony of the fact that "in no other country of the world men could be found who would be ready to make as great sacrifices tor principle as were made in 1843.

IRELAND. ADVANCE IN THE PRICE OF CATTLB.—The May fair of Dromore, long celebrated as being one of the largest in the county of Down, was held on Monday, and, considering that the farmers are still engaged In:¡.prltJl{ labQur, th# atten- dance WaS .ery numerous. Argreat many purchases we.re made for the English markpt, and for superior young cattle high prices were reali -ed. Inferior stock went off at compa- ratively low vahje, but for all "titer kinds, the sales effected were at rates which should fuHy remunerate holders. MELANCHOLY SmCIPE. Accounts reached town yesterday, announcing the death, by his own hand, of Mr. John Power, J.P., of Gurteen, one ofthfiarcest landed proprietors iu thexouthof Ireland. A letter from Clonmel, datid Monday evening, gives the following particulars ot this melancholy trail-action :— "This morning this town and neighbourhood were thrown into a state of greU excitement by a report that Mr. John Power, D,L, J.P. of Gurteeu, had put a period to his existence on Sunday night, at twelve oVIock, which report proved to be but too well founded. The lamented deceased, on retiring to his bedroom la^t nijjht, took a duel- ling pistol, and placing the muzzle to his hea l fire I the fatal shot, and instant deith was the result. Several caus s were assigued for the r-ish deed, but noth'ng definitive can be known until the inquest on the body. w'licn wdl he held to-morrow, and of which you shall have full particulars. A special messenger was forthwith despatched to Long Orchard for Captain Power, brother to the deceased gentle- man, who was the most celebrated spurting character in this part of the country. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.—The northern papers bring ac- count" of the destruction by fire of Downhill Castle, county of Antrim, the residence of Sit Hervey Bruce, and consi- dered to be one of the finest private mansions in the pro- vince of Ulster. The subjoined are particulars as lurnished bv the Belfast Mercury :—- Downhill Casile, the primeiy residence of Sir H. Bruce, was on Saturday la-I, the 10th inst., reduced by fire to almost a pile of smoking ruins and unfortunately, a young man.named Anthony Gallagher, a chimney-sweep, wnile engaged removing some of the furni- ture, lost his life by the facing in of the buruing matter. On the r port that the ho se was on fire reaching Coleraine, almost all the conva u aiy placed there, and several of the inhabitants proceeded 011 cars with the utmost despatch to the scene; and the constabulary have since beeu engaged protecting the furniture, statues, &c., a ureal part of which Wlt- saved through the praiseworthy exertions of the Rev. J met O'llara, M "rR. Robert Weir, Moody, John Kirk- patrick, some Coast Guards stationed ne r Downh'd (Lieu- tenant .Mscnagbten and Portrush party), and" Jew other a< tive person-. The splendid library is said to be ii.ta ly de.-t oved. Indeed, since thj burning of Lord O'Neill s cistle. no such fire has occurred i, the ninth of Ireland.

FOREIGN* INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE.—The clever editor of the Presse, who has lately fastened tooth and naitou General Changarnier, has just produced a tale which, if true, would certainly be the oddest ol' the many odd features of the late Revolution. The General, he afflnns, not only tendered his services to the Provisional Government, but undertook, *ith 12,000 men, to make Great liritain a Republic and a province of France. The other newspapers circuiaie the »tory with- out comment, apparently expecting some l'arliameutary explanation. We may follow their example. Of the two hypotheses—that General Changarnier was once in bis life mad or drunk, or that M. de Girardin is merely in- dulging his own eccentric taste by turning out a highly- wrought specimen of the lie circumstantial,—the latter certainly is more likely to be true. The news from France is confined to the speculations of the public journals on the approaching crisis of a new election for President. The Presse of Monday declares itself in favonrof General Cavaiguac as candidate, in 1852, for the Presidency of the Republic. It gays that the cause of General Cavaignac is making rapid progress, and has already been taken up by the mercantile and financial world. The feeling is becoming general," saya. the Presse, "that to vote unconstitutionally for Louis Napo- leon would be to render M. Ledru-Rollin constitutionally eligible." The Opinion Publique publishes a note signed by M. Nettement, the editor, in which that gentleman declares that from a conversation he has had with M. de Falloux, he has ascertained that gentleman is strongly opposed to the prolongation of the President's powers. The Presse says — "The fusion is settled. General St. Priest and General Changarnier have had a long conference. Such was the rumour prevalent yesterday at the Assembly. It may be that the fusion has taken place at Paris, but it is not so at Clarernont, where it was on Friday last altogether di-ap- proved of; for the Duke de Nemours, whatever may be asserted, ts on this point of the same opinion as his sister- in-law, the Duchess of Orleans, and his brothe/s, the Duke d'Auma'e and the Prince de Joinville." SP \IN. Queen Christina experienced a series of do- mestic calamities last week. Her husband's brother, Don Juan Gregorio Munoz died suddenly at the Havannah; and the Queen-mother herself having h'oken her leg whilst stepping out of her carriage at Aranjuez, the phy- sicians lorhid Queen Isabella to visit her for fear the anxiety of the journey should blight the hopes of the nation. From Madrid, by letter of the 8th instant, we learn that the interesting position of Queen Isabella was no longer doubted. It is said that her Majesty formally declared to her three physicians, Drs. Gutierrez, Sanchez,-and Dru- ment that henceforth she intended to conform to all their wishes, and directed them to prescribe for her a hýgeinic regimen, from w hid, "be could'not depar.t. "In that manner," added the Queen, "all the merit as well as the responsibililyshall belong to you." PORTUGAL. — The triumph of Saldanha h complete. The King was left with oufyhatfhif) original forces at Pombal, atitl those hourly diminishing. Two regimeuts beiog ordered to march in presence of the King, cried out their road was Oporto, and immediately went off to the Duke. The Queen, hacked by the advice of the French Minister, tried to patch up three Ministries, one after another, of the remains of the Thomar party; but Sald- anha having entered Oporto and placed his sword and loyalty at the Queen's disposal, the better councils of the English and Spanish Ministers prevailed, and the Duke himself was commissioned to form a Ministiy. He imme- diately sent an aide-de-camp to Lisbon with the fol- lowing list:—President of Council, Saldhana; Interior, Passoz; Finances, Francini Justice, Ferrao Foreign Affairs, Count Labradio; Marine, Viscount de Sa. PRUSSIA.—The Chambers were prorogued at Berlin on the 9th iustant, by a royal commission. The speech) having intimated that the Government were prepared to meet revolution, in whatever shape it should present itself made the following brief allusion to Central German Union — "The menacing position of those enemies, besides other motives, renders it the imperative duty of all German Go. vernmeiits no longer to leave Germany without a central organ, recognised on all sides, at home and abroad. But whether the German Governments now return to the forms of the older Federal Constitution, whether the plans for re- modelling the Constitution, which are nowise given up, shall be hereafter realised in an expedient manner, the in- dependent development of Prussia shall not, and will not. thereby in any way be endangered." The King is to mike a journey to Warsaw on the 15th instant. Aletter from Vienna mentions that the Emperor of Austria will probably have an interview with the Czar, io Cracow aJding- The object of Russia is, by effecting a firm reconciliation and co-operation between the monarchs of Prussia and Austria, to gain a firm ground upon which it may pave the way for the restoration of legitimacy in France." The King of Hanover paid a visit to theK;ng, at Char- lottenburg, on the 7th inst. He appeared, notwithstanding his advanced age, to be in good health and spirits; but during his two days' sojourn lived quite retired in his own apartments, not even appearing at the royal table. AUSTRIA.—VIENNA, MAY 5.—The Austrian Cabinet has just sent assurances of the greatest friendship for the present Portuguese Cabinet to London through our am- u3ssador there. RUSSIA.—We hear from good authority that the King of Prussia will have a conference with the Emperor and Empress of Russia at Warsaw, on the 15th.-An- zieyer Rietung, May 4. CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. — The Hellespont, Captain Walls, from the Cape of Good Hope, arrived at Plymouth Saturday morning, at half-past six o'clock. She left the Cape on the 4th of April—The general aspect of affairs at the Cape, as stated by those who ar- rived by this mail, was, at the time of departure, in the highest degree unsatisfactory. Upon the whole line of frontier disaffection appears to have manifested itself, and even among the Mounted Rifles the greatest want of sympathy with the policy of the Governor prevailed. Forty-six men bad deserted from one of the companies with the whole of their arms and ammunition.—The governor was still at King William's Town, endeavouring to put dowo the rebellion, which caD DO longer be described by any other term than ItS an interopcine war. Among the colonists great dissatisfactiun prevtlileù with refereuee to the protraction of the war, and the want of some effi- cieot and vigorous step to put it down. Sir H. Smith had been compelled to disband a considerable number of the Mounted Rifles.—There had been three engagements between the 18th and 25th of March; 77 of the enemy being killed in the two former. In the last 1,000 head of cattle, ammunition, &c., were taken from the rebels. NATAL.—Accounts to the 19th of March have been received, and it appears that the sister colony has been thrown into a high state of excitemertt in consequence of measures having been taken for mustering, the natives to proceed under Mr. Shepstone to the Amakosa country, and to co-operate with the troops under Sir H. G. Smitb. The most deplorable results are feared from the expe- dition, whether successful or cot. AMERICA.—LIVERPOOL, MONDAY—By the royal mail steam-ship America, Captain Shaunon, which arrived at the Mersey shortly before 6 a.m., we have advices from New York to the 29th uit. She brings £ 26,000 in specie 011 freight and the usual mail*. Our miscellaneous ae- counts announce that a large new steam ship, of 1,200 tons was being constructed at New York, for a new steam line' to run between Charleston and Liverpool II) Pittsburg Jenny Lind had been grossly insulted, stones having been thrown into her carriage, and afterwards into her dressing room. She subsequently refused to sing again, and left instantly for Baltimore. Great indignities had been offered in South Carolina to the officer from Boston who conveyed the fugitive slave S mms back to that state. Oil the 23rd lilt. a great entertainment was given at Astor-house, New York by the St. George s Society, at which Sir H. Bulwer, who had ju-t recovered from severe indisposition, was one of the principal guests and speakers. Dr. Heals presided, and the Swedish minister, Mr. Ljtton, was also present, Several of the orations, tnore especially those of Sir H. Bulwer, were of a remarkable character. Captain Cooper responded for the British army, Sir H. Bulwer for the Duke of Wellington, and Mr. Lytton for his father, the great novelist. Our accounts from New York, extending to the 291 h ult. (the usuill telegraphic despiltch via Halifax not having arrived), are important, announcing the arrest of a number of Hungarian refugees, &i\, in New York, with a steamer and stores of ammunition, on the eve of embarkation to attempt a second time the revolution of Cuba. President Fillmore had issued it proclamation, denouncing the attempt, and for the pre-ent the plot would appear to be frustrated. It is stated in letters from New York that instructions had been received from the treasury department, direcring the revenue officers strictly to euforce the provisIons of lh., act of March 2, 1799. requiring, under a heavy penalty masters both of the United States and foreign vessels, on arriving within four leagues of the co^st, to have on board duplicate manifests of their cargoes. Our accounts from Havaunah, which extend to the 23rd ult., announce that much excitement continued to exist on account of the in-asi<>n, which Was expecled tu have landed on the 19th inst. The Captain-general had received a despatch, stating that an expedition had failed from New Orleans The troops were sleeping on their arms; horses were ready saddled for express, and It. s'eamer keeps her steam up. A Spaniard had been condemned to death, having been detected in bribing a pilot to assist Lopez. The people are said to desire the invasion, and are ready to join when a respectable force lands on the island. Letters from Vera Cruz and Mexico to the 9th ult. (being three days later than by the West India mail steamer Great Wesler n) are published in the New York papers, but their conrents are vague and unirnporr8nt. Congress was still sitting, and proposed to continue in session for some time longer. Formal complaints had been addressed to the United States'government relative to the Indian aggressions on the frontier. .l

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORD S.—TUESDAY. ( Continued from our fourth page.) Lord Broughton moved the second readinz of the Mar. riages (India) Bill. In doing so the noble lord adverted tu the difliculties which had urisen from the present state of the law, and the recommendations of the commissioners who had inquired into the subject. The bill was founded on two principles—!ir*t, that of legalising marriages which had been duly celebrated by clergymen of the Established Church or Dissenting communions in India an 1, second, that of establishing in that country the present law of Eng- land 011 this subject.. The Earl of Ellenborough approved the principle of the bill, but thought some of the details requ-red amendment a* they were inapplicable to the state of society in India. The bill was I hen relid II second time. The Earl of Ellenborough called the attention of govern- ment to the experiments on the qualities of different soits of coal, conducted bv Sir Henry de 13 Beche and Dr. Lvon Playfair, and recotrimended a continuance of them, as the obie. t was one of the utmost possible importance. The Earl of Minto said this subject had occupied much of the attention of the Admiralty, and very considerable progress had beeo made. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—TUESDAY. The Commons did not assemble in numbers sufficient to form a house, only twenty-one members being present at four o'clock. The Times remar kll" the Hou-e of Commons did not enter last night upon the reconstruct ton of this State under the auspices of Mr. Joseph Hume. It did lIot bit at all. It was not because the great race between Voltigeur I and the Flying Dutchman was to be run at York. It was not for tl)3 G1 eat Exhibition. F rst in the list of parlia- mentary notices stood a comprehensive motion, including under one bracket household suffrage, vote by billot, tri- ennial parliaments, and uniform constituencies. The result was—' No House.' No more than twenty-one had courage to face a danger which no longer inspires terror by its novelty." WEDNESDAY. On the House of Commons meeting on Wednesday morning, Mr. Christophers called attention to the fact that no house h .d been male yesterday, and that only six radical re- f ruier* and two ot ttie minister" were present from the non-atiendan e of the reformers and the members of the government, it was evidert that neither was sincere. VIr. Hume defended him-elf and his friend?,on the ground that hey were attending public committees III the house. S.r George Grey said the non-atteudance of members v .r.tay .llln<p¡1 there was no great illtereSllakt'1l ill the a i v mi eineut of parliamentary and financhl reform. Mr. John Williams was disappointed at the conduct of the honorable member for Montrose, Considerate desultory discimion eusued, titer which tbe subject dropped.

THE GREAT EXHIBITION. The public appetite for enjoying the vast industrial fair in Hyde Park is apparently no Fickle or fleeting one it grows by what it feeds on. On the tfvo days immediately following the inauguration, when ;the adn1Ïsgion fee was one guinea each person, some five or six hundred daily vi. sitors were numbered during the last eight days, since the entrance money has been reduced to the shilling* each, nearly two thousand pounds have been taken per diem at the doors: the amount from season tickets is gradually ri,in¡c hl.L6\J.OUO, and it must be remembered that we have not IHd propitious or pleasant weather lately, save at intervals. The number of season tickets sold up tn Monday, anwunteJ to nearly 27,000. The receipts for admission upon each day siuce the opening of the Exhibition to the public, independently of the receipts for the sale of season tickets, have been as follows :—May 2, at ft, jMM May 3. at jCt, £482; M«y 5, at 5. £1,362 10. May fi, at 5- £1,458 10s.; May 7, at 5. £I.i90 J5s., May 8, at 5s, £2,018; May 9, at 5s., £ 1 824 10s.; May 10, at 5s., £ 1,843 15s.; May 12, at 5s., jEL597 10s total, £12.937 10s. The following items of accounts have also been made public:— Expenditure and Liabilities. — Building, £79,800; extra galleries, counters, and their fittings, estimated at £35,000; by prize fund, £ 20,000; management, ineludiug printing and all incidental expenses incurred up to April, £:!1I,243; liabili- ties of management,— "The total amount raised by subscriptions in the United Kingdom is £76,679 {7s. Id.; the sum paid into the hands of the Royal Commissioners being £64.541 16s. 8d.; the difference between the two amounts having beeu retained for defraying local expenses connected with the various organisations." Several of the large metropolitan and provincial mercan- tile houses, such as Lloyd's, the directors of the London and Westminster Bank, the Atlas Assurance, of the well-known firm of the Barings, of the Thompsons, the tea brokers, some Liverpool and Manchester houses, have given their clerki holidays, season tickets, or sums of money for a cer- tain number of admissions to the Great Exhibition. Her Majesty and the Court frequeut the Crystal Palace Prince Albal, on his attendance at the sittings of the lloyal Commission, invariably inspects one or other of the nu- merous oepaitments, an 1 the unostentatious character of the Queen's visits has been properly respected by those cn9tially present when she has arrived. Some of the ex- hibitors were in attendance at their stalls on her tour of in- spection on the 10th instant; her Majesty sp ike to several of the exhibitors, paying ruaiked compliment to some of the bngltsh furniture makers. The royal party, which em- braced the Prince and Princess of Prussia, and other guests, confined thejr attention principally to the English courts. twoother royal groups were also to be obsened-one of the Duchesss of Cambridge, the Princess Mary, &c., and the other, the old Duchess of Gloucester, who was wheeled about in a Bath chair; this day was probably more fully attended than any other since the opening. In the after- noon it wat calculated that nearly 30,000 persons were present.. The executive committee are bent on encouranioc the educational uses of the Crystal Palace, and its contents; th y have been earnestly considering a reduction of charges in favour of schools, and the younger branches of families Additional privilegesjwiil, undoubtedly, be conceded in this direction. They have' also extended the period for closing the building nearly an hour, and will probably, ere long, keep their treasure bouse open till eight o'clock. As a matter of curiosity, we would advise our readers to remain some afternoon to witness the "closmg scene"—the boom of huge mournful bells—the clang and incessant repetition of tinkling sounds, buzzed and broken iuto frightful dis- cordance by the inexpressible and wild utterances from the Chinese gongs, ausolutelybewllder an unfortunate loiterer. If the great mansion was on fire, and its contents in imi- nent risk of destruction, no greater sounds of dismay than those which announce the final hour of inspection could be developed. Poets and painters have been bu?y with the ceremonial of the 1st instant. Mr. Thackeray in his May-day ballad in the Times," on one side of the Channel, and M. Jules Janin, from the other side, with his charming feuiiletou in the Journal des Debats: Mr. David Roberts, the Royal Aca. demician, with two specially commanded views Mr. Joseph Nash, from the Old vVater-Colour Society, with elaborate pictures of the interior; and two eminent French artists, testify that the most accomplished pens and pencils of the present day have found a highly attractive subject. Hospitality, that special distinction of the Englishman in the shape of dinner giving is on the alert: the Mansion- house, the great c tv Guilds, the local committees through- out the country, tiie Chairman of Council of the Me- tropolis-are all about to commence their festivities. The Guildhall is to be fitted up by the Corporation of London upon the most magnificent scale." The dinner on the 12th by English sculptors and artists to Herr Kiss, the author of the Amazon, and other foreign artists who have exhibited in the Crystal Palace, was highly successful. Much mutual compliment passed between SIr Charles East- lake, who filled the chair, and the foreign guests, and the memory of our immortal Flaxman was specially observed with respect and commendation. The society of Arts, too, are worthily bestirring themselves with their convena- Mione to foreigners of eminence; they have thrown open their reading-rooms in the Adelphi, and every Wednesday evening offer an entertainment connected with the Fine Art! to their friends and a large number of strancers. Prince Albert, we bear, has specially signified his encou- ragements of these meetings, and his intention to attend ou some of the appointed nights. The arrivals of foreign t-oods continue from France, from the United States, from the Zollverein. and, during the last week, from the East Indies. Those of our readers who may have seen the first array of Indian curiosities will be agreeably surprised to find the collection at the Great Ex- hibition vastly increased in rich and varied objects of clothing, decoration, horse trappings, &c. An over-coat of Runjeet Singh is among the additions, with emeralds aud pearls valued at several thousand pounds. The receipts on Tuesday, the 13th, amounted to a higher sum than has yet beeu received. So great was the influx of visitors that £J,20:J was taken in money at the doors, and the sale of season tickets also rose so high that the funds of the Commission hod during the day an accession altogether of £3,000. The French exhibitors still continue their prepa- rations, and the goods forwarded from Turkey are not yet arranged. Professors Itoyle and Soley are busily engaged in the distribution of the large and valuable additional con- signment within the last few days received from India. Several of the most valuable articles have been placed in the stalls facing the nave, and so great i< their >alue es- teemed, that they have been surrouuded with a railing, as if they were state prisoners. We hardly think that this pre- caution was necessary, and it certainly is not ornamental. Our own jewellers have not considered it requisite to adopt any such measures of safety, and they ought to know some- thing of the risks incurred. However, we do not cavil at the East India Company for what they have done, the more especially as their collection promises, when completed, to be one of extraordinary interest, splendour, and attractive- ness. In addition to the Lahore jewels, they have now, in stalls facing the nave, the Durria-i-Noor," or Sea of Lighl.ln immense diamond, set as an armlet, with ten smaller utoaes aroutwl j5t a necklace of Z24 large pearls, and a shorter one of 104 smaller pearls a uecklace of four large rubies, a piir of emerald armlets, a carved emerald and diamond turban ornament, an emerald and diamond bridle and martingale, a gold-mounted saddle, set with diamonds, emeralds, and rubies; a magnificent brocaded robe, richly decorated with pearis; and a:1 emerald girdle, the stones in which are of immense size, and most of them of very fine quaiity. This list of jewellery will give the public some idea of the manner in which our E .stern em- pire is represented, and will recall some at least of those visions of fabulous wealth and splendour with which the mme of Iu lia used in former times to be connected. Until the collection be comp:etely arranged, it would be premature to notice further the more prominent features of the fresh arri als. The Royal Commissioners have again had under their consideration the propriety of nuking arrangements for the accommodation of the working-cla-ses who may be expected after the 26th to visit London in order to see the Exhibition. They have determined to abstain from or- ganising any system with that object, as their doing so would interfere with many praiseworthy undertakiugs of private individuals for the same purpose, but they recommend mechanics to co-operate, and to take such steps before leaving home as may obviate the inconveniences that would otherwise arise from large numbers coming together with- out any previous prenaration. Her Majesty the Queen, Prince Albert, and the Royal guests at the Palace, visited Hyde-park W ednesday morning last, as earl v as 9 o'clock. They remained for more than an hour, and were principally engaged in examining the ob- jects on the North side of the nave in the British division, especially the "leather," "paper," and mineral manufac- tures, sections, and the Fine Arts Court. Again during Wednesday a large accession was made to the funds of the Commission, amounting altogether to up- wards of i2.500. Thursday the building remained open till 7 o'clock, and that arrangement will be continued, and pro- bably extended if such be found desirable. THE FATAL RAILWAY COLLISION IN CHESHIRE. The inquest at Preston-brook on the bodies of the five Unfortunate persons killed in the Sutton tunnel, near Frodsham, on 'he Cheshire Junction Raiiway. on the 30th ult., was brought to a conclusion on .Monday The follow- ing ii the verdict: Accidental death, wiih great blame to the Executive Committee, and charge of imprudence and indiscretion against the officers. There was i.eficiencv of locomotive power, and the management was so imperfect as to endanger the safety of the public.' Ihe jury added a recommendation of signal* at each <?nd of tne tunnel, and that li<;ht9 should be placed in the carriages. It was accompanied by the following observations:— ••Although the j my have not fet justified in recording anv other verdict than thnt of accidental death, they feet bound to state th it they are uuani, ously of opinion that gre,.t blame attaches to the executive committee of the BirKen- head, Lancashire, and Che-hire Junction Railway Com- pany, and that there was a want of prudence and discretion general y in the conduct of the officers and senants of the company along the tine from Chester to Manchester on the day when the melancholy occurrence took place, which re- sulted in th" death of the parties (:n Wednesday, 30th April), as to which the jury have been inquiring. With re- spect to the locomotive power of the company, it appears that no increase whatevet was made for the creatlv increased traffic along the line from Chester to Manchester during the Ches'er race week, and that there was no authorised super- intendent of the engineering department along that line appointed, and no precautionary arrangements adopted for the safety of the public in reference to'the Sutton tunnel, where the collision took place on the day above mentioned. Thej'iry find that throughout tfiedaytl ere was the greatest irregularity in the despatch and the arrival of the trains from Manchester to Chester, and the advertisement issued by the company to the effect that the trains would return from Chester at 5.30 p.rn and continu# running, so soon as filled up, to nine o'clock p.rn was in the highest degree objectionable, being calculated to lead to confusion and danger. The railway company's superintendent himself has Itated in the course of Ins evidence, that hedoeo not consi- der the stock of locomotives sufficient tor their ordinary trHffic, and jet, !II! thc jury have already noticed, 110 in- crease was made for the greatly increased traffic during the Chester races, and to this deficiency of locomotive power is to be tnainly attributed the lamentable catastrophe ihat has happened The jury are decidedly of opinion that the management of the railwjy in question is defective and in- efficient, thereby endangering the safety of the public. In conclusion the jury reco nmended that, In order to guard a«ainst the recurrence of a similar accident, there should be an authorised servant of the company stationed at c3ch end of the Sutton tunnel so as tosignal the trains, and thereby prevent two trains being in the tunnel on the same fine at one tune. They con-id- r, also, that the carriages .1 the rail. way company havinn to pass through a. tunnel of such a length as the Sutton tunnel should be turnisbed with lights; and they desire also to call atteuti m to the shortness of the intervals allowed for the trains following each other on the same line from the terminus and intermediate Stations, which appears to them to be attended with risk. and to ex- press their opinion that the intervals should therefore be increased." It was about a quirter past five o clock in the evening when the jury retired, and they delivered their verdict a few minutes brfol e half-past ten o'clock, having been locked up nearly five hours and a quarter.

The annual dinner by the Lord Mayor to the Judges of the Superior Courts, at the Mansion-house on Thurs- day, was fully attended, Lord Campbell, the Chief Justice of England, was spokesman in reply to the toast of the evening: — From ancient times there had been a high court of criminal jurisdiction in the cIty, over which the Lord Mayor presided, and when that court met the Judges had much pleasure in mix- ing with the magistrates of the city. They went together on solemn occasions to the Cathedral of St. Paul's, to offer up their prayers to the Almighty. Again, at the festive board, they had the pleasure of being invited to the Mansion-house and Guildhall, to partake of the elegant hospitality of the city. In former times that hospitality used to be reciprocated by the Sergeants, but he was sorry th ,t of late years that custom had fallen into disuse. He rejoiced iu the prospect which existed that the aiicieut festivities were to he revived; for he had read in the newspapers—and therefore it must be true—that the Society of the Middle Temple were about to gin. a dinner and ball to the illustrious foreigners assembled on our shores, tc the Lord Mayor and Aldermen of the City of London, and to the magistrates. Barristers would once more dance round the bon- fire, and the grave Lord Keeper would again open the ball, the seals and the mace of office dancing along with him. (Much laughter). Thus would the festivin, of Qjeeti Bess be re- vived ill the reign of Queell The toast of Lord Cranworth and the House of Peers," gave Lord Cranworth the opportunity of twitting the Lord Chief Justice, with his own concern in the disuse ol the festivities by the Sergeaut«i of whom the Chief JUl. tice himself i. the head.
