" 9 , Part-street , Camden Town . This letter appeared to create much amusement , and no little sensation . The meeting was then addressed by Mr . "Beale , Sir . Rogers , and Mr . Dunfqrd . In the courBe of Ms addreBS , Mr . Dunford pointed out to the meeting Colonel Geerth , a noble Hungarian , who at the head of 15 . G 00 men fought six pitched battles with the Russians , and defeated them on every occasion , and finally cut his way through the masses by whom he was surrounded , declining all through to lav down Mb arms . ' The gallant-Hungarian officer , at the request of the meeting , came upon the platform , and was vehemently applauded . He made an attempt in imperfect English to thank the people of England for their generous sympathy , and hoped Hungary would yet have another chance for her independence .
On the motion of Mr . Gbesis , seconded by Mr Geobob Wilson , a vote of thanks was unanimously passed to the Sublime Porte for its noble conduct in maintaining inviolate the rights of hospitality in the case of Louis Kogsuth . The cordial thanks of the meeting were then carried by acclamation to the Chairman , for his conduct in the chair that day , and the meeting , which was extremely crowded throughout , separated . The Mayor of Southampton has received addresses for presentation to Kossuth , on his landing in England , from Glasgow , Bradford , and Bath . Newcastle . —As soon as the arrival of the illustrious Magyar at Southampton is known , a public meeting is to be lield in Newcastle to bid him welcome to England , and to invite him to visit that dL-trict .
THE BANQUET . Cap lain Mangles , one of the managing directorsof the Royal West India Mail Steam Packet Company , and Mr . Willcox , M . P . fov Southampton , and ono of tho managing directors of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company , are to attend the banquet . Captain Towusend , M . P . for Tarnworth , haa signified his intention to be present if his health permits him . The banquet is expected to take place on Tuesday , the 28 tli inst . Accommodation will be provided for 100 Indies in the banquetting hall to witness the b . mquet , and to hear the addresses of the distinguished persons who will be present . The Mayor , although suffering from ill-health , has resolved to close his honoured career as chief magistrate of Southampton , an office which he will shortly have filled for two consecutive years , with a crowning act of hospitality .
Tiie American ambassador lias expressed his in . tentHra to fce present at the Tiossuth banquet at Southampton . The Turkish Ambassador will not be present . His Excellency has sent the following note to his worship the Mayor : — "i , Bryanstone-squaK . Oct . 37 , 1 S 51 . —Musurus Bay presents his coinpii > ents to the Mayor of Southampton , and begs to be excused from accepting the invitation of the municipal authorities of that town , which reached him this morning . " ' An impression appears to prevail that all the refugees , abost sixty in number , on board the Mississippi , will come to Southampton . There is not the slightest ground for such a belief . Kossuth , his wife and children , and onu or two personal attendants , will , it is tolerably certain , alone visit Southampton .
As soon as the Madrid is descried at Southampton , the Custom House authorities at tl > At port will communicate with tho Mayor , who will be conveyed out in the Btr * am in the j . ratique boat , in order to communicate with the Hungarian chieftain , previous to his approaching the placo for disembarkation . MsExisa at Leeds . —A public meeting , convened by the mayor , in compliance with a respectable requisition , was held at the Leeds Court-house , on Monday evening , for the purpose of agreeing to an address to SI . Louis Kossiufi , congratulating him On his liberation from captivity , and welcoming him to England . The large Sessions Hall of the court was tilled to suffocation in even * part , and numbers
had to go away unable to obtain admission . A more unanimous , enthusiastic , and effective meeting lias not been held in Leeds tor a very Ions ; time , on any subject whatever . The " Times , " for its recent attacks on Kessutb , was strongly denounced by the various speakers ; and this demonstration met with a response of the most unequivocal description . In the unavoidable absence of the Mayor , Mr . Councillor Carter was called to the chair . —The Rev . Wm . Guest ( Independent ) , who was received with loud applause , said he had very great pleasure in proposing the first resolution : — " That this meeting , having watched with deep interest the noble struggle which Kossuth and his co-patriots carried on for the maintenanceof liberty
in Hungary , and having mourneu the circumstances which led to their defeat , and their subsequent detention by the Sultan of Turkey uuder the influence of the governments of Austria and Russia , rejoices that they have now obtained tbat liberty of which they were so nnjastifiably deprived , and especially expresses its gratification that Kossuth has determined to visit this country , and welcomes him heartily , and with all affection to the shelter of its shores . "—The resolution was seconded and supported by Mr . Kershaw and Mr . Councillor Kettle , and carried by acolamation , no one dissenting . An address was then moved by Mr . William Heatou , seconded by JUr . W . Brook , supported by Mr . Councillor Hobson , and agreed to amidst loud cneers . —Mr . 17 . Bruce moved the next resolution — " That the address just adopted be forwarded to Richard Cobden , . Esq ., member for the West Kilm % . witn the respectful request that he will un «
cterake its presentation to Kossuth on behalf of the meeting . "—Mr . T . L . Prentis seconded the resolution , which was agreed to nern . con Mr . Khodea moved the last resolution : — " That M , Louis Kossnlh he requested to visit- Leeds at his earliest convenience ; a . nd that Mr . Cobden be requested personally to convey to him this invitation . " The speaker hoped if Kossuth came that there would be a general holiday ; and that they would make the streets echo with the joyful sound of their cheers as they had never done before . ( Much cheering . ) —The resolution was seconded and carried with . acclamation . A vote of thanks was given to-Jhe chairman , and the meeting separated . ?« Ieetikg at Dbrbt .. —On Tuesday evening last , in compliance with a numerously and respectably signed requisition to the Mayor , a public meeting was held in the Town Hall , Derby , for the purpose of adopting a congratulatory address to Kossuth , Mr .

Councillor Etches suggested that a subscription should be set on foot for Kossutb . He volunteered £ o , mA a friend bad authorised him to tender £ o also . Mr .

ARRIVAL OF KOSSUTH AT SOUTHAMPTON . After mnny anxious hopes and disappointments , the Madrid steam-ship , Captain Weeks , with Kos-* uth , his wife , family , and suit on board , made her appearance in the Southampton Waters about halfpast one o ' clock on Thursday . The Indus , which touched at Gibraltar en route to England from Alexandria , and which vessel arrived eariy in the morning , brought information that the Madrid would arrive early in the afternoon , Scarcely had the vessel been descried rounding « CalBhot OaBtle before the principal approaches to the docks were lined by large numbers of people of nearly every class . The mayor was promptly on the spot , and proceeded in the Customs boat to the mouth of the Itchen , where his worship boarded the ship , and was introduced by Captain Weeks to Kossuth . Madame Kossuth was then introduced to the
mayor , but she w . is unable to speak , being ; so deeply affected . Kossuth's children were then presented to the mayor—three in number , two boys and a girl , very interesting children . The mayor kissed each of them , Kossuth himself tras deeply affected during this interview , and scarcely uttered a word . The steamer entered the docks about three o'clock , and she had scarcely reached the entrance , when Kossuib , his wife , and children , were discovered standing on the deck , with the Mayor in the midst of them . They were loudly cheered . At the spot barriers were erected to keep the people from the ship , but they wero broken down , and the masses pressed to the edge of the dock . A large party of Hungarians were present , and greeted Kossuth with maddened enthusiasm . The most en deariag terms apparently that the Hungarian language would admit of were shouted out to him .
while m the docks , a number of persons came on board to greet him , among whom werB the Count and Countess Pulski . The interview between the Count and Countess and Kossuth and Madame Kossuth was of the most affecting kind . They cos ) ld not apeak for several seconds ; all that surrounded them turned aside to shed tears . Kossuth iilso embraced Mr . Croskey , the American Consul , most affectiontely . The Mayor had provided a carriage and four greys and a band of music . Tho confusion in getting Kossutb , his family and friends into the carriage was tremendous ; and the most 9 &riou 9 uecideuts were imminent . No pen can describe his reception . Thousands of people were pressing round
him to embrace him ; hundreds of persons were shedding tears . There never has been seen such a scene in Southampton . At length the procession began to move on , tho band of music playing lively : iirs , preceded by an array of standards and flags , and the equipage , in which was Kossuth , moving slowly behind , on account of the crowd , KOSSUtli was obliged to stand up to acknowledge the cheering and salutations of the crowds of persons that lined the -windows and every available place where a glimpse of him could be caught . After passing through the town amidst a perfect sea of waving hats and handkerchiefs from every window , balcony , and housetop , he arrived at the mayor ' s residence .
On arriving at the mayors , Koasuth and his family were literally taken out of the carriage and carried in doors . He received an extraordinary reception from the mayor ' s wortsmen as lie passed in doors—scores of deep-mouthed labouring men cheered him witn thunders of applause . On arriving n the mayor ' s private apartments , all tho Hungarian magnates and soldiers crowded round and embraced him with the deepest reverence . One sea of heads covered the street before the mayor's premises , eagerly expecting Kossuth to come and address teem . At length the illustrious Magyar was escorted to tbe b ; ilcony . Shouts rent the air , and the music struck up . When silence was restored , the Magyar commenced addressing the immense and eager crowd before him . In speaking , i ; e hesitates occasionally to commence a sentence , but he rarely halts in one . Ho may he said to be an effective speaker ; his ideas seemed as if they flowed from an Englishman .
After partaking of some refreshment , his worship , with Louis Kossuth and friends , proceeded to the Guildhall , where an address from the corporation of Southampton was presented , after an introductory speech from the mayor , to Kossuth . This was the signal for enthusiastic and vociferous applanso , whu-h having subsided , His Excellency stood forwai'd and said—< Mr . Mayor and Gentlemen , I beg you will excuse me , an unpretending stranger to the town of Southninpton , in your own language , adequately $ o express the warm sentiments of respect and gratitude
for your generous welcome . I was bound to the town before I arrived by your zealous feeling towards my native land . The few words I ha ^ 9 to say are inspired by being now in your presence . To have the honour of being welcomed by the people of England in this noble town is an august gratification to me . It has always been my study from early youth to look to England as the book of life , by which I was to live . For three centuries Austria has exercised open violence and wholesale threats to destroy the liberties of mj countrymen , and were it not for her municipal institutions would have succeeded . There was a
time when the principles of liberty were spreading through Europe , and when I was myself almost alone standing against the asaailments of Russia . The municipal institutions of a country are the be 3 t protectors of practical liberty . There is in the French nation , which has , after three revolutions , glory outside , but freedom , within withering by the blasting influence of centralisation . He then proceeded to observe that he foretold this would be fatal to him . lingland would always lie great , glorious , and free by the preservation of her municipal institutions ; and when he saw their race is the only one in both hemispheres enjoying perfect freedom , whether iu kingly-formed government in one , or republican government in the other , he still saw it was by
preserving these institutions intact . As for himself ha was conscious of his own demerits , and should not have been in that preminent position but for the sake of his country . T&e principles of freedom , justice , and popular rights will be always preserved , provided the public spirit of the people will preserve them , and meet the exigencies of the times . He was certain that the freedom and liberties of England are the guarantees for those of the whole world ; and , therefore , it was that his beloved country looked to theirs for support . He lamented with strong feelings the sufferings of his dear country , but as they were not without hope , so he trusted they would not be without ultimate success .- England must preserve the balance of Europe , or she will not be long a country in it . England was a
great example to his own country . By it they were assured that if England would throw her weight into the balance she could maintain the freedom of Europe , and engage herself for the welfare of humanity . Such were his sentimentsthe sentiments of his heart , and his reception that evening was an anticipation of future successes . Kossuth then expressed his deep gratitude for England ' s reception of his fellow countrymen , the Hungarian exiles , more particularly at the port of Southampton . His own lifo was of no use except * ing that he might make it serviceable to his country and to humanity . He hoped , by the blessing of Almighty God , and the encouragement of their sympathies , yet to see tbe principles of liberty established in his native country .
The above is a mere outline of the speech . At the conclusion of the address the meeting roso and cheered M . Kossuth repeatedly , and when the noise had subsided a voice exclaimed , " Three groans for tho Austrian tyrant , " which was responded to by three loud groans forthwith . After tbe presentation of the address , the national nag of Hungary , which was worked by some Hungarian ladies in England during the time of his struggle for his country's rights , and intended to be forwarded to him , but which afterwards , by some mistake , was left at Southampton , waa presented . His worship in presenting it , expressed a hope that M . Kossuth might yet live to fight victorious under it in the country of his birth , and gave a slight sketch of its history .
M . Kossuth took the flag , pressed it to his bosom , and said , with energy , —I receive , gentlemen , thiB flag as tbe most valuable trust intrusted to the people of Hungary , and 1 swear to you whatever be our fate , cowardice and ambition shall never tarnish this flag . An address from tne working men and inhabitants of the town , aB distinguished from the corporation , signed by 1 , 100 persons was then read by Mr . Falvey , to which M . Kossuth replied . Kossuth , with his family , suite and companions , formed sixteen persons oa . board , the Madrid ; bojuo

MEETING IN SOUTHWA . RK . On Friday a public meeting , convened by tbe High Bailiff of the borough , in compliance with a requisition from 300 electors ,-was held in the Town Hall , Southwark , with a view to the presentation of an address to Kossuth on his arrival in the metropolis . The Hall was crowded . The chair was taken at one o ' clock , by Mr . H . D . Pritchard , Deputy High Bailiff . Mr . T . Walker moved the following resolution : —" That this borough having ever maintained the great principles of political and religious freedom .
cannot but feel deeply interested in whatever affects the progress of human liberty , and considering the struggle in Hungary for constitutional government and popularinstitutionswaalegal , just , aud patriotic , desire to embrace the earliest opportunity of expressing their warmest sympathy and affection for the noble Kossuth , the great champion of Hungarian freedom , and their admiration for the honour and firmness of the Sultan , in delivering him and hi 3 compatriots from captivity .

" [ Subjoined were the names of a committee , who were to have power to add to their number . ] There were , he believed , hundreds of the working classes of Southward who , if they could not subscribe a shilling , would be glad to give a few pence in testimony of their approbation of Kossuth .
Mr . Newman seconded the resolution , which waa put and carried , After some conversation , on the motion of Mr . Palmbb , seconded by Mr .

THE GREAT EXHIBITION . Through Lord Qranville , and in consequence of tne warm interest which he takes in the Schools of Design , the Chancellor of the Exchequer has been prevailed upon to authorise an expenditure of £ 5 , 000 in the purchase of objects from the Exhibition , which may serve H 9 models for study , an . ) whioh may thereby exercise a permanently elevating influence upon the avt manufactures of the country . We understand that a memorial emanating from the leading merchants in England is about to be forwarded to the Royal Commission , urging upon that body tbe importance of forming a collection of objects likely to extend and facilitate trade . The
murmurs against tbe awards of the jurors continue to spread and deepen . Mr . Milnor , of Moorgatestreet , complains that his patent safe , with continuous lock , has been overlooked , while another mail has got a metal for a safe , although heaefcually had not one in the building . Even the jurors themselves begin to complain of their colleagues , one gentleman from Manchester alleging that four of the awards in his class vm > e changed after he left town .
We hear that on Monday Mr . Dilke had the gratification Of receiving from her Majesty s . very handsome diamond and ruby bracelet as a present for Mrs . Dilke . The letter which accompanied this record of her Majesty ' s approval stated that it was sent as a mark of her Majesty ' s sense of the trouble Mr . Dilke had taken in executing Her commissions at the Exhibition . Mr . Dilke also had the honour to receive from the Royal children their portraits in remembrance of the attentions shown to them during their visits to the Exhibition .
TKSTiuosiiL to thb PoucB .-The committee of watch , clook , and chronometer exhibitors have forwarded to the superintendent of the A division of the metropolitan police an expression of their admiration and satisfaotiou at the vigilanco , oourtesy , and attention of the police stationed in tho vicinity of their goods in Class 10 , and they accompany it , With a Silver Watch of a superior quality , to be presented to Police-constable Jones , 343 A , who was especially attached to their department . The watch bears the following inscription : — " Preaentcd by the committee of watch and © look makers co t . k , JoneB , 343 A , a 9 a mark of their satisfaction vrtttv bis conduct in care of their goods during the Great Exhibition , 1851 . " It is worthy of remark that in tho large and highly valuable collection of gooda under the charge of this department not a single loss or accident has occurred since the opening ol the building .
Thb Gbbat Exhibition—On Saturday last the Crystal Palace presented a strange contrast to the scene of the previous Saturday . The " curious world" had given place to hundreds of porters , artisans , and mechanics , all busily engaged in packing , removing , and carefully pulling down the wonders of art and skill which have been contributed by the whole civilised world . Indeed the road from the CryBtal Palace , though no longer inconveniently thronged witli oowvibusses , cabs , carriages , and every sort of two and four-wheeled
vehicle under the sun , was still a moving mass of vehicles , owing to the number required to esnvey away the costly and bulky productions of the exhitors . Thursday was the first day for removing the goods . The East India Company took the lead , .-iiitj tbeir department is already pretty well cleared from the wealth of jewels , gold and silver work , and native productions of skill which attracted so much of the popular gaze . The United States huve commenced packing , but nothing as yet has b ; en cleared away . In tho Russian department the

" The Koh-i-Noor , the misnamed " Mountain of Light , " is reportedHo be still in its ordinal cage , but guarded carefully as a prize of such fabled value ought to be . The statues remain p ^ tty nearly as they « we l Tto colonial department resembles a large wholesale grocer s warehouse , from the number of casks and bales which are strewn about . The Custom-house officers are keeping strict guard over articles liable to duty The western department has suffered the least ; the large organ remains in solitary and Silent erondour , but the other musical instruments i > v-c vanished . In the carriage department , ^ the ' , ' , ' c carriage has gone , others are ready to follow . In the machinery department , great progress haa wn made , but inconsequence of the ponderous
character of many of the steam and other engines , theentire clearance will be a work of time . We may say , generally , that nearly al the other demrfcrnents are in a state of forwardness as far as removal is concerned , but two days of heavy labour have hardly made any sensible impression on the vast accumulations of productions . It is calculated that some weeks of continued labour must elapso before the Crystal Palace will have nothing to boast of but Us own transparent walls . The fl . gs which decorated the exterior and interior of the building have been removed , as well as the coats of arms of the various boroughs and towns . The provincial departments certainly exhibit the greatest a ppearance activity , and appear to have made the Greatest gaps in the building . The .
agricultural department , considering the great bulk ol many of the articles and tbe great labour required to remove them , has a very empty appearance . Nothing is yet known about the ultimate fate o , the building itself ; this , however , may be stated oa tolerably good authority , that it will not be allowed to retain its present site . With respect to the extra police employed during tho Exhibition it is understood that those constables who have behave themselves best will be retained , and will be absorbed into the regular police force as vacancies occur . At the station may be seen a basket of trinkets , some of them of some value , which have been picked up at the Qreat Exhibition by the polioe , and for which no owners can' be found;—Sunday Paper ,

The American Great ExHiBmoN . —The project of the Exhibition at New York is , we understand , gaining ground rapidly . The plan has now received the sanction of the Austrian and several other governments of Europe , and a large proportion of tbe foreign exhibitors will remove their good 8 from the building for shipment at once to the United States . Among other articles which we hear tire to be Best is the Amazon , by Kiss , with a large collection of works by M . Monti and other Italian sculptors and artists . Upwards of 200 of the British exhibitors have also announced their intention of sending their goods . One distinctive feature of the proposed plan is , that the articles exhibited in New York will be exclusively foreign produce , manufactures , or works of art , no American producer Of manufacturer being allowed to take part in ifc . So far as we can learn at present , no prizes of any kind will be awarded to the exhibitors . The whole affair will be a commercial
one , and its benefits will be sought in the amount of public attention which will be directed to the various articles exhibited . Another feature of the New York Exhibition will be that all the gQQda will be exhibited with the prices attached , and , when sold , the remittances will be promptly forwarded . The goods will be conveyed from London in first class vessels , provided by the parties engaged in carrying out the undertaking ; and all charges of freight , insurance &c , will be advanced , so that no outlay of money on the part of the exhibitors will be required . The goods which may remain unsold at the close of the proposed Exhibition will be returned to the exhibitors free of all charge . The Exhibition is to open at New York
on the loth of April next , and tho last day fixed for tbe reception of the goods ia tho 1 st of March ; and we understand tbat , for the convenience of exhibitors who may desire to send the articles shown by them in the Great Exhibition , vessels are ready to convey them forthwith from London to New York . The building will be in a central part of New York , near to the various railway termini , and will be made a bonded warehouse during the exhibition . Tho guarantees afforded for the due and proper carrying out of the affair are , we believe , unexceptionable . Many of the most wealthy and influential citizens of New York are deeply interested in its success , and the government of the United States has also consented to afford facilities
for accomplishing the undertaking . The Court Martial on Commander Cracroft , —A court-martini , assembled on board her Majesty ' s ship Fox , in Penang Harbour , on the 3 rd and 4 th September , 1851 , proceeded to try Commander Peter Cracroft and the remaining officers and crew of her Majesty ' s late steam-s / oop Reynard , upon the following charges , v : z .: —For that the said Commander Peter Cracroft , together with the remaining officers and ship ' s company of her Majesty ' s late steam-sloop Reynard , on the 31 st May last , all of them being at that time in actual service and full pay in the fleet , did , through negligence or other default , run upon the reefs south of Pratas Island , known as the Pratas shoal , her Majesty ' s
said late steam-sloop Reynard , thereby causing the said steam-Bloop to be wrecked and lost ; and having heard tho narrative of the said Commander Peter Craoroft , together with that of Mr . Henry M'Ausland , acting master of her Majesty ' s late steamsloop Reynard relative thereto , and having very msiturely weighed and considered fcho whole of the evidence brought forward , is of opinion that the said late steam-sloop was set on shore by the irregulav currents , which have been proved to be very uncertain both in strength and direction ; and that after she struck upon tho shoal every effort that could have been adopted was made to save the vcbsel , and that she was not abandoned until it would have exposed her crew to great danger and loss of
life by remaining by the wreck . The court is also of opinion that an error in judgment was committed in approaching the shoal from the south-east , where it was steeped to , instead of from , the nurth-west , where it appears , on the authority of Horsburgh ' s Directory and the Admiralty chart , that soundings project two or three miles ; also that due precautions , as laid down in the Admiralty instructions , were not taken , inasmuch as no leadsmen were in the chains , nor any casts of the deep sea lead taken . The court is therefore of opinion that Commander Fetor Cracroft and Mr . Henry M'Auslaml , acting master of her Majesty's late Bteam-aloop Reynard , are deserving of censure for the said omission ; but that , in consideration of the high testimonials produced by Commander Peter Cracroft from various distinguished officers under whom he had served , as well as tho efficient manner in which her
Majesty ' s late steam-sloop Reynard had up to that period been conducted ; and also to the high charactcr given of Mr . Henry M'A . usland , acting master , by Commander Cracroft , as well as the evidence adduced before the court as to that officer ' s general zeal , ability , and attention , the court doth only adjudge the said Commander Poter Craoroft and the said Mr . Henry M'Ausland , acting nmttr of the said late steam-sloop , to be admonished to be more careful in future , and the remaining officers and ship ' s company to bo fully acquitted . And the aai . l Commander Peter Cntcrofo anil the Siiill Mr . Henry M'Ausland , acting master , are hereby admonished to be more careful in future , the other officers and ship ' s company to be fully acquitted nc-OOl'dingly . And the eouvfc cannot separate without expressing their high approbation of the exemplary conduct displayed by tho commander , officers , and crew under the most trying circumstances ,
FAILTJnES . —We learn by'the Australian papers that three large failures have occurred iiv the dva ^ ety trade at Sydney , the amounts being £ 25 , 000 , £ 16 , 000 , and £ 14 , 000 respectively . About £ 100 , 000 in gold , brought by the Lion steamer from St . Petersburgh to Hull , Iws beer , received at the Bank , making the total from Russia last iteek about £ 170 , 000 . PBOFBSSon Gorini . —This gentleman , who is professor of natural history at the university of Lodi , made , before a circle of private friends a few nights a . « o , a v « rj remarkable experiment illustrative of his theory as to the formation of mountains . He melts some substances , known only to himself , in a vessel , and allows the liquid to cool . At first it
presents an even surface , but a portion continues to oozo up from benoath , and gradually elevations aro foYtned , until \\ t length ranges and chains of hills are formed , exactly corresponding in shape with those which are found on the earth . Even to tho strati , fication the resemblance is complete , and M . Gorini can produce on a small scale the phenomena of volcanoes and earthquakes . Jle coutends , therefore , that the inequalities on the face of tho globe Bie the result ' of certain materials , first reduced by the application of heat to a liquid state , and thon allowed gradually to consolidate . In another anil more practically useful field of research tlie learned professor has developed some very important facts . Ha has succeeded to a most surprising extent iii
preserving animal matter from decay without resorting to any known prccoss for that purpose . Specimens aro shown b y him of portions of tho human body whioh , without any alteration in their natural appearance , have been exposed to the action of the atmosphere for six or savon JO . ira ; and ho states that at a trifling cose he can keep moat for any length of time in such a way that it can be oaten quite fresh . The importance of such a discovery , if on a practical investigation ifc is found to answer , will be uioro readily uniimtoou when it is ran « rnbereu that the flocks of sheep in Australia are boi od down into tallow , their flesh being otherv hi ! frM ele 88 > ™ ° t" » tm South America vastheids of cattle are annually slaughtered for the 8 » ke of their hides alone . ,

;•;¦ . " ; :. , ' SUJIREY-TIIEATRE . i . 'A' drama entitled Prchmirig and Waking , was produced at this theatre on' Monday night . An officer of dragoons has seduced a village girl and deserted her . A few years after an accident , by which he nearly loses his life , brings him again under the roof of his victim , when she , stillinfluenced by love , places about the apartment the objectB that were once familiar to him . He awakens from his insensibility to feelings of astonishment and perplexity , which are further increased by the advent of the heroine in the
garb that she formerly wore , and the renewal of tbe rustic blandishments which were at that period so acceptable . The officer is sorely "bothered . " ¦ by appearances which " lie like truth , " but explanations are by and bye made , and the persistent affection of the girl , enforced by the pugnacious attitude of a big brother , have their due weight , and he consents to matrimony . The piece , which was well received , is the joint offspring of Messrs . Morris Barnett and Angus Reach . Calls were made for these gentlemen when the curtain fell , but they did not respond to the invitation .
NEW STRAND THEATRE . Mr . A'Beckett's . little interesting drama of the Artist ' s Wi fe ,- originally sustained by Mr . Ranger , with good effect , at . the Haymarket , was revived on Monday night for the sake of introducing Mr . Belton to a new audience . Mr . Belten has creditably distinguished himself at the Princess ' s as an actor of juvenile tragedy , and his performance of the blind painter , ever auspicious of his wife , yet ever fancying that he rises above his suspicions , was marked with considerable pathos ; though not altogether free from mannerism . He was called at the end with loud applause .

My wife pulled him off me , and Moreley then came in -with a short stick , loaded at the end with lead , in his hand , and aimed % blow at my head witU it , I endeavoured to ward it off with my hand , and received the blow on my arm . I called for the police , and cried " murder ' l itded t
several times ; for I firmly beieve they nen o kill me . When they heard the police approaching they ran away . This hammer was picked up outside my door , and this stick was found in Shoelane . ( The stick was here produced , and certainly appeared a most murderous weapon . ) The wife and daughter of the prosecutor corroborated this statement , and the officers gave further evidence relative to the apprehension of the prisoners . —Alderman Salomons said ; This ia one of those cases in whioh I should not ieel justified in taking the responsibility upon myself of disposing of it summarily . I therefore intend to send it to the sessions , but will accept bail in two sureties of £ 25 each , for each of the prisoners to appear and answer tho charge . They were then committed to take their trial at the ensuing sessions .
MARLBOROUGH-STItEKT . — Bobbbrt at a Club House . —George Morria , n discharged waiter from the Army and Navy Club-house , was charged with having stolen a quantity of wearing apparel , value £ 5 , from the club-house , —William Cleaver , a waiter at the club-house , said , on Saturday morning his clothes were all safe in the drawers in his dressin" -room . On the same morning witness discovered that tho woodwork of the drawer before tho lock had been cut away , and the drawers forced onon . A ouantitv of wearing apparel bad been
taken from the drawers , and prosecutor immediately BUBpected tho prisoner , who had been discharged the previous day , and who had been seen that morning in the area of the club-house . The clothes produced were the clothes taken from tho drawers . —Police constable Johncook apprehended the prisoner at Richmond . The prisoner was wearing the clothes at tho time . The prisoner denied living at the Army and Navy Club-house when witness first accosted him . —The prisoner was fully committed .
WESTMINSTER . — Destitution . —A miserablelooking , bare-footed woman was brought before Mr . Arnold under the following circumstances : — A police-constable proved that hta attention was called to the defendant by a gentleman who found her sitting on tho previous evening on the step of a door in Belgrave-sqoare . T ? n&iug upon inquiries that she was in a state of destitution , without any place of abode , the constable took her to St . George ' s workhouae , in Mount-atreet , Grosvenorsquare , when tbe porter said she had been there before , and he hud . refused to admit her . Undev these circumstances the constable took her to the station for shelter . —Mr . Arnold directed the constable to request the attendance of one of the
parish officers of St . George ' s to give some explanation why a woman found in this destitute condition was refused relief . —In the course of the day Lacy , one of tho officers , attended , when Mr . Arnold represented to him the circumstances of the case . —Lacy said he was not in attendance when she was brought to the workhouse , as stated by the constable ; but begged to put the magistrate in possession of some circumstances connected with her history . She was a short time ago charged at the Marlborough-street Police-court with attempting to commit suioide by drowning herself in tbe Serpentine , but sho hail merely walked up to her middle in water , and then screamed to attract attention until she was got out . As she was then in
a state of destitution she was taken to the workhouse and clothed , but subsequently demanded her discharge and left the place . In about a fortnight afterwards she was again taken before Mr . Hardwick , for an act of mendicancy , and committed for seven days . She had , on the occasion on which she had discharged herself from the -workhouse , been clothed from head to foot by the authorities . Something , ho thought , ought to be done with her , as sho was addicted to very indecent and filthy practices . —Mr . Arnold observed that the point was , the woman was found on the present occasion really in ; i state of destitution , and taken by a constable to the workhouse , where nothing was Jono for her . — Lucy said that as he had before stated , when she
had the opportunity of her being maintained in tho workhouse , sho insisted upon being discharged . —Mr . Arnold thought that Being evidently m a state of utter destitution , it was tlio duty of the porter : tt the werkhouse to have relieved her , irrespective of character , anil his refusal had compelled the police to lock her up , because they did not know what else to do with her . It was the porter ' s business to have taken nerin , to be dealt with as the boiird of guardians might think fit . The circumstance was one bringing great odium upon the administration of the poor laws . lie thought it was harsh treatment to have refused her relief . —Laoy said he would take the woman to the workhouse , and see that sho w . ia properlj attended to , —Mr . Arnold observed it would bo as well in so obvious a
case of destitution as the present , that the porter did not net so authoritativel y , and refuse admission . MARYLEBONE . — AssAuwisa xsb Powc ^ . — Three labourers , named John Hickey , Thomas Mallett . and Peter Welch , were brought before the sitting magistrate , Mr . Long , charged with haying blien concerned in an outrage of « moat Violent description upon police constables , two of whom were very seriously injured . —Edmunds , a poli . eman , deposed that on Monday night at ten o ' clock , as ho was on duty in Salisbury-street , Portmanm . irkel , he heard a great disturbance in the Champion public-house , and on getting therein he saw Welch and Hickey fighting . He got thorn out , and had iio sooner donc so , than thoy began 8 » htmr again . Ho ( witness ) laid hold of Welch , and told him that ho should be obliged to lock him up upon winch Mallett rushed forward and endeavoured to lGbcue
him from custody . Witness added that he still itcpt hold ot the prisoner , but vm tripped up by some one ; and while he was lying upon the ground with Welch he was kicked upon various parts of his person by some other labou ers form u » g part of a large mob which had congregated at tliespot . Other offitiors very fortunately soon arrived and the whole of the prisonersTwuve ultimately captured and locked up . —Eatwell , apoliconian , > , < ud Hickey caught hold of him by the throat ui a savage manner and tried to strangle him ; he was also thrown down by tho mob , and was sori-OUsly kicked upon the body . Mallet did everything i" his power to release witness , whose hair was pullud ViulenUy . —Lack , a policeman , deposed to his having been kicked ; iiid struck by Malk-t , whom he was compelled , in order to release himself , to ( strike with his staff . —Other evidence of a character confirmatory of the preceding was gone into . —Welch
