TUESDAY, AUGUST 7, 1855.
THE APPROACHING HOLIDAYS.
ON Friday, the Appropriation Bill, which is usually
considered the final measure of the session, was
brought in and read a first time in the House of Com-
mons. The Ministerial Fish Dinner, which is one of
the sessional usages, rarely, if ever, omitted, will take
place to-morrow ; and on Saturday Parliament will be
prorogued, unless any unforeseen event should render
necessary its postponement till the following Monday.
It is useless to reiterate complaints of that reckless
waste of time which has characterised the closing ses-
sion. Even on Friday last, eight hours were occupied
in discussing a senseless motion about the negotiations
at Vienna, which resulted, as it might have been ex-
pected to result, in nothing but an adjournment at
nearly two o'clock in the morning. The most import-
ant measure of the session will be the Appropriation
Bill, by which upwards of eighty-six millions has been
voted to the service of the Crown ; and when this is
presented, at the prorogation, for the Royal Assent, it
will tell the tale most forcibly of the expensiveness of
the war, and the utter inability of the Commons of
England to turn their attention to any other business.
The members of Parliament will be released from their
arduous duties to tell their constituents of the labours
they have undergone in prolonged sittings throughout
the night ; and, if any evidence be wanted of the atten-
tion which they have bestowed on the public service,
they may refer to the long speeches which have filled
the columns of the daily papers.

KELSO, ROXBU RGH SH IRE.
SPLENDID HOTEL ESTABLISHMENT FOR SALE, AT A
GREATLY REDUCED PRICE.
On FRIDAY, the 31st August instant, at 'fwelve o'clock Noon,
within the Cross Keys Assembly Rooms, in Kelso,
THE splendid and commodious HOTEL of the
CROSS KEYS, in Kelso, as lately belonging to, and occu-
pied by, the deceased, Mr. Adam Yule, and now forming a part
of his Sequestrated Estate.
This Establishment is known to be one of the most perfect of
its kind to be found in any part of the kingdom, and in which an
extensive business has long been carried on. The Hotel com-
prises a magnificent Assembly Room, 50 feet 4 inches long, by 24
feet 4 inches in width, exclusive of a recess 27 feet 6 inches by 5
feet 7 inches ; height of ceiling, 19 feet 4 inches. A Supper-room
43 feet 10 inches by 25 feet 7 inches ; height of ceiling 16 feet.
Eight Public Rooms, of various sizes, and most superior accom-
modation. There are no fewer than 17 Bed-rooms, besides
Closets, and ample accommodation for Servants; and the Bar,
Kitchens, and Cellarage are upon a scale seldom to be met with,
and capable of carrying on a Business to an unlimited extent.
There are also Two Commodious Shops, with Dwelling-houses,
let off to Tenants, but which, if taken into the Establishment,
would give a great amount of additional accommodation.
The Offices are most extensive, and are all close to the vicinity
of the Hotel. The Coach-houses and Stables are very commo-
dious, with large Stable-yard, and other conveniences.
Kelso is known to possess one of the largest Weekly Corn
Markets in the South of Scotland, and Fortnightly Cattle Mar-
kets, with well attended Race Meetings; and, as the North-
Eastern and North British Railways are within little more than
Half-a-mile of the Hotel, it is much visited throughout the season
by Tourists and Commercial Travellers.
On the whole, so eligible a property of the kind is rarely offered
for Public Competition ; and a purchaser of capital and expe-
rience would have a most favourable field for carrying on a large
and profitable business.
Upset price of Hotel, Stables, Yard, Coach-houses,
and others ,e 2,600
Of Tweed Lodge
If desired, the greater part of the price would be allowed to
remain upon the Property.

tors in Kelso, the Agents in the Sequestration.

MAYORALTY OF DUBLIN.—At a meeting of the Dublin
Corporation, on Wednesday, Alderman Fergus Farrell was
nominated without opposition to the office of Lord Mayor of
that city for 1856. Mr. Farrell has ever been a consistent
Liberal of the advanced school, and it is some proof of his
general worth that the motion for his appointment was se-
conded by Alderman Kenahan, of the extreme class of Con-
servatives.
TICE POTA.TO CRor.—Some isolated symptoms of the re-
appearance of the old potato pestilence having manifested
themselves since the setting in of the last month's heavy
rains, the calamity-mongers are at their old trade, and al-
ready the " cry" has gone forth, that a large portion of this
year's produce is destined to share the fate of the crop of 1846
and the subsequent years of failure. There are, undoubtedly,
a few authenticated instances of the appearance of the fatal
blight on the stalks, but in no instance as yet has the disease
attacked the tubers, which remain perfectly free from taint;
and, as the season is now far advanced, it may be reasonably
hoped that whatever damage the crop may suffer will be very
trifling indeed as compared with the losses of former seasons
of disaster.
THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.—During the past week,
there has been very little of sunshine, so necessary for the
ripening of grain at the present tima ; instead of which there
have been frequent showers, sufficiently continuous to very
much retard the saving of hay, a considerable quantity of
which had been out before the rain commenced. As yet, the
account of the cereal crops are satisfactory, with the exception
of complaints from some quarters of the wheat being laid to
some extent by the rain. There are still some reports about
the blight in the potato • but on the whole nothing has ap-
peared calculated to lead the opinion that any serious injury
has been done. Indeed, there are not as yet any reliable facts
to show that the tuber has been at all affected. So far as may
be judged from present appearances, it only requires a few
weeks of fine weather to ensure an abundant harvest.
EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF SELF-31IITILATION.--A soldier
of the 15th Regiment, in Cork garrison, some time ago de-
serted, and was by a court-martial sentenced to 86 days'
iinprbonmen f., n,l to be branded with letter D. The letter
D was made on his breast. But while undergoing his term of
imprisonment he became ill, and his removal to hospital was
necessary. He was accordingly removed, and after a short
time, beinc, fround to be progressing favourably, he was
placed in the convalescent ward. Here he took advantage of
the comparative liberty of the hospital, and one day got up,
took the razor with which he was in the habit of shaving
himself. and cut out the piece of flesh on which the ignomi-
nous brand had been placed. He then rushed out of the
hospital, made his escape from the barracks, and has never
since been heard of, The piece of flesh was found on the floor,
and has, we believe, been preserved.
ROYAL ROCK FERRY COMPANY.—The annual meeting of
this company was held yesterday in the Clarendon-rooms.
Reporters not having been admitted, we are unable to state
any particulars relative to the business transacted.
"ENTERPRISE."-By a recent decision in one of the supe-
rior Law Courts of New York, it eas been laid down that the
act only prohibits the sale of liquors of domestic manufacture.
The next morning all the stores displayed signs certifying
" none but imported liquors sold here." The New York
Herald says on this :—" The enterprixe displayad by the
liquor dealers in disposing of their American liquor in one
night, and filling their shops with imported liquor by next
morning, is certainly very extraordinary, and merits public
notice."
THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH COMPANY, on Tuesday, de-
clared a half-yearly dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per
annum, free of income-tax.
LORD Joirx RUSSELL'S instructions for the Vienna mission
are dated the very day on which Mr. Gladstone and his friends

HANSOM CABS IN AMERICA.—The Boston (U. 5.,) Post
notices the introduction of the first " Hanson cab" into that
city, by a gentleman connected with the Cunard line of
steamers, at the earnest solicitation of several of his friends.
The " attractive novelty" was driven about the streets for
about an hour or two, previous to making its appearance for
hire, and caused an admiring crowd wherever it stopped.

The Hair Restored, Baldness and Greyness Prevented by
BEETHANI'S CAPILLARY FLUID. The truly wonderful eiti-
cacy of this unique preparation is the theme of admiration where-
ver introduced. It effectually prevents the hair falling off or
turning grey, promotes its growth on places that have been bald
for years, strengthens weak and fine hair, and gradually restores
its natural colour, without the use of dye. It cleanses the head
from scurf, and imparts a beautiful transparent, glossy appear-
ance, and keeps it in any desired form. In inducing the growth
of whiskers, eyebrows, mustachios, its effect is surprising.—

FRAMPTON'S PILL OF HEALTH —The mani-
fold advantages to the Heads of Families from the posses-
sion of a Medicine of known efficacy, that may be resorted to
with confidence, and used with success in cases of temporary sick-
ness, occurring in families more or less every day, are so obvious
to all, that no question can be raised of its importance to every
housekeeper in the kingdom.
They are an excellent aperient, create appetite, relieve languor,
and invigorate the spirits, and if taken after an indulgence at
table, they quickly restore the system to its natural state of repose.
" For upwards of nine years (writes Mr. Thomas Province, of
Winchmore Hill, Middlesex,) I have experienced the efficacy of
this excellent Medicine. I had long previously been afflicted with
headache and indigestion ; but a friend having induced me to
make a trial of Frampton 's Pills, I now inform you that a few
doses gave me great relief ; and during this long period of time
I have taken them in preference to any other medicine; and I
have the happiness of saying that I never had a better state of
health, which I attribute to Frampton's Pills. I beg further to
add, that this medicine is in general use by my family, and we
know of nothing to equal it."

Our SHARE MARS-ET has been more steady during
the past week, and prices have shown a tendency to:
improve. At the settlement, end of July, stock proved.

• COTTON.—There has been a fair inquiry during the
week, though the sales to the trade have been confined
to - the demands for "immediate wants. Full prices
.were paid up to Friday, when the arrival of the:North
Star, with three days' later news, reporting a decline
on the other side, tended to check business, and prices
may be quoted from ls. 6d. to ls. Bd. lower on
Middling qualities. The sales for the week, up-to
IFriday, amounted to 34;860 bales, of which 3,400 were
taken on speculation, and 4,260 for export, leaving
127,200 for the trade. To-DAY the advices by the
,I'Patific were received, with accounts from New York
Ito the 25th ult. The effect on this market was to
produce quietness, there being no apparent disposition
to do business to any extent. The sales were 6,000
bales, including 1,000 for speculation and export,
without any change in quotations. Xhe following is a

SUPP
in addition to the returning nightly rest ; that persons
following trades which usually occupy all the seven
days, are generally sickly or short-lived ; and that
clergymen often lose their health by not taking another
day of rest, instead of Sunday, ,on which they labour.
God gave the Sabbath as a rest even to cattle ; and
what farmer sees not the advantage of this, or would
be willing to have his horses worked all the year round
without the Sunday's rest ? Would the labourer in
the field, or the workman in the factory, like to toil
year after year without the Sunday—without a day of
rest after his six day's toil, a day of refreshment before
beginning his round again ? How many a tradesman
who has not enough of religion or of courage boldly
to keep the Sabbath, would, notwithstanding, be thank-
ful for the Sunday rest, if he could prevent others
taking his business out of his hands on that day !
How do politics, study, and business, waste the body
and wear out the mind of such public men, lawyers,
and students, as disregard the Sabbath? The Sabbath-
breaker contradicts the Lord of the Sabbath, and says,
" the Sabbath was not made for man ; it was made for
me ; I cannot keep it, I have no time, no inclination."
How cloth he say, " I am wise ; in vain made he it ;
10, he hath rejected the word of the Lord, and what
wisdom is in him ?" He knows that his business
would not thrive if, in order to follow it without
ceasing, he robbed himself of sleep ; but he is
unable to see that neither will it thrive so well in the
neglect of the Sabbath, as in the observance. The
Sabbath restores the body and freshens the mind ; it
affords weekly that change of employment, scene, and
thoughts, which is so valuable to the health of mind
and body.
REMARKS ABOUT RlNGS.—Albert Pio, Prince of
Caspi, was buried with extraordinary pomp in the
church of the Cordeliers at Paris. He had been
deprived of his principality by the Duke of Ferrara,
became an author, and finally a fanatic. Entering one
day into one of the churches at Madrid, he presented
holy water to a lady who had a very thin hand,
ornamented by a most beautiful and valuable ring.
He exclaimed in a loud voice as she reached the
water, " Madam, I admire the ring more than the
hand." The lady instantly exclaimed, with reference
to the cordon or rope with which he was decorated,
" And, for my part, -I admire the halter more than I
do the ass." He was buried in the habit of a
Cordelier ; and Erasmus made a satire on the cir-
cumstance, entitled the " Seraphic Interment." * * *
Hippocrates, in treating of the decency of dress to be
observed by physicians, enjoins the use of rings. We
have somewhere seen it suggested, that the rings thus
worn by physicians might have contained aromatic
water or preservative essence, in the same way as
their canes were supposed to do ; and hence the action
of putting the heads or tops of the latter to their noses
when consulting in a sick room. * * * Many of our
readers are aware that there are name rings, in which
the first letter,attaching to each jewel employed will
make a loved one's name or a sentiment. In the'
formation of English rings of this kind, the terms
_Regard and Dearest are common. Thus illustrated :
Ruby) E(merald) G(arnet) A(methyst) R(uby).
D(iamond). D(iamond)E(merald) A(methyst) R(uby)
E(merald) S(apphire) T(opaz.) It is believed that
this pretty notion orginated (as many pretty notions
do) with the French. * * * The story of losing rings,
and finding them in fish, is as old as Pliny, and we
shall have to mention Solomon's ring, which, it is said,
was found in one. We have an English statement of
a Mrs. Todd, of Deptford, who, in going in a boat to
Whitstable, endeavoured to prove that no person need
be poor who was willing to be otherwise ; and, being
excited with her argument, she took off her gold ring,
and, throwing it into the sea, said, " It was as ma
impossible for any person to be poor, who had an
inclination to be otherwise, as for her ever to see that
ring again." The second day after this, and when she
had landed, she bought some mackerel, which the
servant commenced to dress for dinner, whereupon
there was found a gold ring in one. The servant ran
to show it to her mistress, and the ring proved to be
that which she had thrown away ! * * * In the year
1765, a codfish was sold, and in its stomach was, a gold
ring. It had remained there so long that the inscrip-
tion was w.orn off, although the scrolls in which it had
been written remained entire. Codfish, like sharks,
swallow anything, whether fresh or salted ;. bits of
wood, red cloth, and even a whole book has been found

HOUSE OP LORDS.
MONDAY.
Ve.dr lordships met at five o'clock.
A conversation arose upon the Limited Liability Bill, which
'it fixed for the second reading to-morrow. In the course of
which Lord St. LEONARD'S expressed a hope that the measure
would not be pressed this session.
Earl GRANVILLE said it would be premature to discuss the
measure now, seeing that it was not formally before the house.
The subject then dropped.
The MarqUisof CLiitincißDE then moved a resolution to
the effect, that a select committee of the House of Commons
having recommended an immediate amendment of the Sale of
Beer Act, of 31354,—The circumstances which rendered legis-
lation on the subject-of the bill, which had been passed by the
Honse of C,ommoni, were of such urgency as to render the
immed'ia'te considefittien of the bill necessary.
Lora REDEsEatt opposed the motion on the ground that
the house oughtflo adhere to its standing orders, and that
there was no urgency.
Lord LTTTLiTON also opposed it.
Earl GREIIVILLE supported the motion, urging that as the
Tiisting law was productive of great inconvenience to the
'public, and that as the decisions of the magistrates in putting
it into force were conflicting it, it was necessary that a change
should be Made in the law.
After speeches from the Earl of Shaftesbury, the Earl of
Hardwi&e, Lord St. Leonards, and Lord Congleton, the house

The 'Motion was carried, and the bill was read a second time.
The Militia Ballot Suspension Bill was read a second time.
The Metropolis Local Management Bill was read a third
time and passed.
The Excise Duties Bill passed.
The Turkish Loan Bill, and a number of other bills, passed
through committee.
The Island of Tobago Loan Bill was read a second time.
Their Lordships adjourned at eight o'clock.
HOUSE OF COMMONS.
MONDAY.
The house met at one o'clock.
The Lunatic Asylums (Ireland) Bill, and the Navigation
Works (Ireland) Bills were severally read a third time and
passed. The Diseases Prevention Bill was also read the third
time and passed. The Exchequer Bills (£7,000,000 sterling) Bill
and the Militia Pay Bill passed through committee. The
Appropriation Bill passed through committee. The third read-
ing is appointed for to-morrow.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE BILL.
On the the motion for the third reading of the Criminal
Justice Bill,
Mr. T. CHAMBERS moved that the third reading be deferred
for three months. He stated that this measure made a greater
alteration in the constitutional tribunals of the country than
any that had ever yet passed the legislature, yet it had
hitherto gone through all its stages without discussion ; feel-
ing that it had not been fully considered, he deemed it his
duty to urge its postponement. The second reading had been
1L... - .111 fluo lacral members Of
the house were
absent at the summer assizes, and it was now proposed to
read it a third time when they were absent at the autumn
assizes. The bill has no preamble, but its object was to
diminish the expenses and delays incident to the present sys-
tem. He denied that it would produce either of these results,
but it would throw the fate of every poor man in the rural
districts, especially, into the hands of the police. They had
already trenched too far upon the system of trial by jury, and
should be very slow to proceed any further in the same direc-
tion. The tribunals under the bill he feared would neither
be competent nor impartial ; they would not raise up the
clergyman of the parish to try the dissenter, nor the squire
to try the poacher. Under all these circumstances, he sincerely
hoped that the house would not sanction the bill, which he
believed to be the worst ever brought before it.
Mr. Kennedy supported the amendment.
The ATTORNEY GENERAL was of opinion that the bill would
be extremely beneficial. It would lead to a great saving of
expense and of time, nor did it violate any constitutional
principle, for the prisoner could not be dealt with under it
except by his own consent. The object was to prevent the
imprisonment of individuals before trial, and it only applied to
petty offences, so that it was idle to say it involved any great
constitutional principles.
Mr. BARROW supported the bill on the ground that no
man ought to be made the inmate of a prison until he had
been convicted.
Mr. M`Mahon opposed the bill, and it was supported by Mr.
Baines.
The amendment was then negatived without a division, and
the bill was read a third time.
Several new clauses were then moved, and eventually the
debate was adjourned unon one proposed by Mr. M`Mahon,
relative to the right of appeal.
The house then adjourned at 4, until 6 o'clock. The house
resumed at 6 o'clock.
Mr. BRIGHT gave notice that, on the bringing forward of
the Indian Budget to•morrow, he would move a resolution to
the effect that it was desirable to have the returns made up
to a later period than usual, and also that the fanancial state-
ment of the affairs of India ought to be submitted to the
'house at an earlier period in the session.
Lord PALMERSTON stated that he should continue the grant
to .the Royal Society of £l,OOO for the present year out of the
Civil contingency.
Lord J. RUSSELL gave notice that to•morrow he would call
attention to the present state of Italy, and to its occupation
by foreign troops.
Lond PALMERSTON withdrew the Cambridge University Bi
CHARITABLE FUNDS BILL.
On the question that the house go into committee on the
Charitable Funds Bill, the ATTORNEY-GENERAL made a state-
ment of the changes which this measure would make in the
existing law. The power of the present commissioners would
be extended, in order that proper and salutary controul might
be exercised over the management of the charities.
Mr. KNIGHT moved as an amendment, that the bill be re-
committed this day three months. The bill gave the Charity
Commissioners too extended powers.
Sir W. Joliffe seconded the amendment.
Mr. MITCHELL said ids objection to the bill was not that it
weflt too far, but that it did not go far enough.
PELLATT recommended the government to withdraw
the
Sir G. GREY declined to accede to this recommendation, and
defended tie provisions of the .1411.
Mr. Cairns: the Solicitor-General, Mr. Henley, Lord Chel-
sea, Sir W. Heathcote, and Mr. Matins, having addressed the
house,
The ATTOTOTEX-GNERA.L replied t,Q the several objections,
The amendment was withdrawn.
The house then went into committee.
Having disposed of the first 10 clauses a the bill, the
CIIIIRMAN reported progress.
The committee ordered to sit again to-morrow.
The other orders were then disposed of.

DRATVINC FOR MR. E. TV. THOMAS'S COLLEC-
TION OF PICTURES, LAST NIGHT.
IN consequence of the heavy loss sustained by Mr. E. W.
Thomas, last winter, in giving his "shilling concerts" at the
Philharmonic-hall, he has been compelled to part with his
valuable collection of paintings, which were thus offered up as
a sort of propitiaiton to Apollo, for the want of devotion on
the part of the public of this town. It is certainly rather
unjust, ',however, that the high priest of the god of music
should himself be compelled to make a sacrifice on behalf of
those who ought to have appreciated and paid tribute to his
efforts in providing them with such "festivals," and we can
hardly ever hope that any gentleman will in future be tempt-
ed to hazard providing the people of Liverpool with high
class entertainments at such low rates, after so discouraging a
result to Mr. Thomas.
The pictures, which were valued by a competent judge at
£6OO, were divided into twenty prizes, to be disposed of
amongst 300 subscribers, at one guinea each, and to be drawn
for by lottery, similar to the practice pursued at the London
and Liverpool Art-Unions. They have been on view for some
time at Mr. Morrish's Merchants' Dining-rooms, Tithebarn-
street, where also the drawing took place, last evening, There
was a large attendance of Mr. Thomas's friends, and the
drawing occupied about two hours. The following was the
list of prizes, and the result : •

THE WAR.
THE SIEGE OF -SEBASTOPOL.
THE intelligence transmitted by various .means
from the army in front of Sebastopol continues to be
of the same inconclusive character with that which
has been lately chronicled. Indefatigable industry,
rewarded by slow progress towards the desired con-
summation, is the characteristic of the work ; and
that is from time to time varied by sharp trial of the
vigilance and bravery of the besieging forces. Bold
sorties on the part of • the garrison have been made
on different occasions, and with great determination
on the part of the enemy, both against the French
and English works of approach ; but these have
ended in defeat of the Russians and a further demon-
stration of the excellent disposition, skilful handling,
and spersonal bravery, of the Allied troops. On the
nights between the 14th and 15th, and between the
16th . and 17th of July, two desperate sorties were
made by the Russians with a view to drive the
French from their most advanced works in their
approach to the Malakhoff; but in both instances
the assault was vigorously repelled, - the English
artillery rendering most efficient aid in > support of
their Allies. The works of the besiegers now all but
touch the main defences, and everything gives token
that an important action against the place is immi-
nent. An expedition is also said to be in active pre-
paration ; its actual- destination is not annonneed, and,
in the absence of positive information, rumour, as is
usual in such cases, is busy in supplying conjectural
intelligence as to its destination and object. Some
will have it as intended for a hostile demonstration
against Odessa, while others maintain that it is in-
tended to operate at Perekop, for the purpose of cutting
off communication between Taurida and the Crimea.
In the meantime reports as to the present condition
of Sebastopol represent that city as in a miserable
plight. The inhabitants are driven from their houses
by the shot and shell poured upon them from the
English and French batteries. The public and civic
officers are an, it is understood, removed into Fort
Nicholas, as has also been -the greater portion of the
merchandise belonging to the commercial inhabitants,
and "in short," as is said in a letter from a .Russian
merchant still resident in Sebastopol, " the whole
town has moved into Fort Nicholas."
In reference to the sorties, -the correspondent of the
Daily News, writing from the.eamp on the :16th of
July, says
The enemy made a sortie against the advancing sap of our
allies on the Malakhoff Hill on the night of the 14th and 15th
instant. The attack was preceded by the usual characteristic
yell of the Russians, but this cry was only raised at the mo-
ment of coming upon the troops covering the working parties.
The night was dark, and a high wind was blowing; a sharp
fire of musketry was seen to last for about half-an-hour, and
then subsided; about an hour afterwards, another fusillade was
noticed in the same direction, but speedily terminated. The ex-
planation given by the French is, that the enemy came suddenly
and in great force upon the working parties before the latter
bad time to make necessary arrangements to meet the attack.
Hence some confusion ensued at first, and the French, not with-
out a severe struggle, however, had to retire to the nextcovered
way. At the time of the sortie our allies were connecting some
small ambuscades which they had thrown up in dine in front
of their advanced trench. These being joined together, and a
communication established with the trench behind, the third
branch of the zigzag advancing up the Malakhoff Hill would be
completed. The object of the Russsans was to arrest the pro-
gress of this work, and to destroy what had been already done.
As soon, therefore, as the French had retired, the enemy com-
menced levelling the parapets, and filling up the trench. In
the mean time the French, being joined by their reserves,
formed again for the attack, and at a given signal rushed sud-
denly upon the Russians. The latter were taken unawares. A.
consideral number had laid aside their arms and accoutre-
ments, and werebusily engagedin shovelling down the parapets.
After firing one volley, the French charged with the bayonet,
and a precipitate retreat of the Russians followed. A large
quantity of arms and appointments were left in the hands of
the French. The commencement of the attack occurred
between one and two o'clock, am. The enemy did not attempt
to renew it. In the course of the night the French not only
repaired the mischief done by the enemy, but extended the
trench considerably. The Russian loss is stated to be very
severe, compared with that of the French, numbers having
fallen in the second charge. One officer and several men were
taken prisoners. The French loss is reported as one officer
and thirty men.
JULY 17.—About 11 o'clock last night, while the batteries
were in a state of temporary repose, the stillness was suddenly
broken by loud shouting and bugle sounds in the direction
of the Malakhoff. It was just the night for making a sortie,
and the Russians had evidently taken advantage of it to make
one on a large scale. The attack lasted about twenty minutes,
though dropping shots of musketry, and an occasional discharge
of projectiles from the batteries, continued for nearly an hour.
Writing from the same place on the 20th, he says :
sint4lNNlTYraudnanlbßilk ;Tat; 1;";;Ws-Toli;loiliTo
observation as that made by our Allies. Their works seem,
indeed, when observed from certain points of view, to be
almost in contact with the abattis of the Malakhoff-hill. The
actual distance between them is probably not more than eighty
or one hundred yards. They have carried their trenches
forward with remarkable determination and perseverance,
notwithstanding the heavy direct fire of shell, grape, and
musketry from the Kotniloff bastion above, and an equally
severe flanking fire from the batteries on either side. The
French works carried forward on the right, towards the line
of Russian batteries extending from the Malakhoff-hill to the
west side of Careening harbour, though occupying a vast
extent of ground, appear in a very secure and complete state.
The enemy has not made any sortie of a serious nature since
the night between the 16th and 17th instant. They probably
suffered very severely on that occasion, for they are reported
to have advanced in very considerable force, and the discharge
of shells and other projectiles in the direction along which
they must have retired, was terrific. Their reserves also could
hardly have escaped from the incessant shower which was
kept up during the attack itself. Although the contest was
hotly maintained for some time, either from the advantage of
position or some such cause, our Allies do not appear to have
suffered so much as might have been expected on the occasion.
Our casualities, both among men and officers, during the past
week, have been less numerous than usual. Among the latter,
however, the death of Captain Rowland Fraser, of the 42d
Highlanders, has to be recorded. He was unfortunately killed
by a fragment of shell on the night of the 16th instant, while
on duty in the right attack. The shell struck him in the
body, and his death followed almost immediately afterwards.
Under the same date, the correspondent of the
Times says, in reference to the spirits of the troops,
their condition, and that of the weather
To-day there has been a veritable July sun ; not a breath
of air has been stirring. Over the Black Sea hangs the mist
which always appears when the sun pours down his rays with
more than usual power. Firing slack this morning; but
towards afternoon it has increased considerably, and at the
present moment there is a sharp cannonade kept up from
the Malakhoff, and now and then a volley of musketry an-
nounces that the skirmishers are at work. We have con-
structed another batteryof two Lancaster guns to the left, and in
advance of the 21-gun battery. Somewhat more to the left a
battery of six guns had been raised to fire on the shipping, but
it having been found that the position was too low for the
purpose, mortars have been substituted, and the battery will, no
doubt, open in a few days. The Lancasters have not yet been
mounted, but will probably be in position to-morrow. The
health of the men is still excellent, and their spirits do not in
the least suffer by the length and wearisomeness of the siege.
The summer is cool ; and as the Russians of late make very
few sorties, the nights are passed without much hardship in
the trenches. When formed in marching order to descend
the oft-trodden ravines which lead to the batteries, there is
neither despondency nor unwillingness ; the laugh and the
joke accompany their steps ; their air is brisk and alert how
different from their appearance in the gloomy season of last
December ! The noise of skittles is to be heard on every
side, and the regimental bands, with sadly diminished num-
bers indeed, but still effective for amusement, give the various
popular airs to which we are accustomed at home. Cathcart's-
hill is every evening the lounge of hundreds of idlers, who,
stretched at length on the dried grass; or sitting on the piles
of stones which enclose many an honoured grave, look down
on the beleagured city, and watch the flashes which burst
from Mamelon, Malakhoff, or Redan with a lazy indifference..
Writing on the 21st, the same correspondent
says:
Amid the returning heat which has followed the stormy
weather of last week, the operations of the siege are being
pressed forward by the French on our right with inde-
fatigable industry. • There is nothing in what goes forward
which can strike a stranger; stagnation seems to reign in
camp and trenches; even the heavy fire of a few days since
has for the most part died away; yet every day an advance
is made, and every day sees the allies nearer the crest of the
Malakhoff, which it will now require all the courage and
tenacity of the Russians to hold. The Malakhoff and Mame-
lon stand on an elevated plateau, while the ridge that joins
them is itself higher than the land around. It is along this
ridge that the French sap extends in a zigzag to within
170 yards of the bill which the Russians hold. As the incline
is somewhat steep, the French working parties are already
out of the reach of the Russian guns, which cannot be suffi-
ciently depressed to be used against them. They, therefore,
can work on without danger, except from the riflemen, who
hold every spot of vantage, and use their best endeavours to
pick off every enemy who shows a part of his cap within their
range; but, as these can be replied to by French marks-
men while the guns of the Mamelon are hourly thunder-
ing against the Russian stronghold, the advantage is clearly
on the side of the French. The latter have also thrown a
small battery of field-pieces at the end of their sap, which
have hitherto prevented the egress and formation of Russian
troops for a sortie against them. These guns entirely command
the points on which the Russians are in the habit of leaving
their works, and they consequently have been reduced to reply
to all the advances of their enemy merely by fires of musketry
from the embrasures. The day before yesterday, however, a
few Russians straggled out, here and there, making their way
by dodging behpid clumps of earth and bushes, until they had
reached about eighty yards from the parapet, when they threw
themselves on their faces, and began digging up earth for
cover. The French seemingly did not observe the movement,
cud Our people not catching sight of the venturesome Mus-
covites.until they were actually flied in the position which
they wished to attain, fancied them to be French. By this
means the Russians have established rifle pits in front of the
French sap, where they will do the usual amount of damage,
be
unless they. speedily driven out. On the 19th, the French, observing signs of activity among the Russians on their left,
opened a furious fire from all their batteries towards that part
of the town. The - fire, which was as heavy as in any of the
bombardments, continued for about half an hour, and, having
apparently effected its object, ceased. On the side of the Ma-
lakhoff the French have discovered the way, by which the
Russsian reserves are moved into the works It appears that
two deep trenches lead to the Malakhoff,
Little one on the side
'of the Redan, and the other on the side of the
Redan, towards Careening Bay. To interrupt, at least,
the latter means of communication, the French have esta-
blished a small battery, which is as yet unmasked. It will
play on the covered way on the side of the Little Re-
dan, and to a great extent stop the Russian reserve-
coming up whilst the French are assaulting the works thems
selves. To-day the Tartar inhabitants of the villages in
the plain of Baidar and along the coast eastward of Cape Aia
began returning to their homes. It is not much that a Tartar
generally possesses, but of the little they left behind them they
will find nothing. Every cottage has been unroofed, and every-
thing that was worth carrying away has disappeared. Even
articles that could hardly be conceived to have any attraction,
such as portions of a wine-press or old casks, have been labo-
riously dragged away by the Turks totheir camp. On the fruit
trees there is not a-vestige of anything edible. However, the
Tartars, imagining their former fears to be groundless, or re-
ceiving a cold welcome from the Russians who occupy the
range of heights above the valley, have returned to their old
homes, and no doubt will be unmolested. Theancient Scythians
could not more completely have carried their household goods
with them on their wandering carts than the Crim Tartar
transports his effects on one or two creaking arabas. Long
lines of these vehicles now crowd the road which leads from the
east of Baidar, Kamara, and the valley of the Tchernaya. They
may be heard half-a-mile off by the incessant creaking of their
wheels, on which no drop of oil ever comes. These Tartars are
a race physically inferior to the Turks, and seem to be kept
down by ignorance which no ray of education ever enlightens,
and by poverty from which no spirit of• enterprise ever raises
them. As they slowly moved past, carrying their beds, cloth-
ing, and cooking utensils on a miserable cart, it is evident how
vain is the dream to expect any assistance from them in war,
or to cherish any ideas of their restoration when peace is
gained.
Concerning the actual position of .the besiegers and
the besieged, in relation to each other, the following
shrewd and interesting observations occur in a leading
article in the Morning Post of .Friday:—
"It is," it says, " the north of Sebastopol which feeds, and
all along has fed the south. The passage of the Bay of Inker-
man is necessary to this sustained support. The Malakhoff
Tower commands the passage, and dominates the whole lower
town. Therefore, the capture of the Malakhoff Tower would
lead in its train to the surrender, or gradual and certain oc-
cupation, of the lower town—to the sweeping of the Bay of
Inkermann by the besiegers' guns—to the destruction of the
navy therein imprisoned (yet active and powerful)—to the
opening of the port, the breaking of the bar or stockade, and
the probable subjugation of the fire from Fort Constantine.
Sebastopol would then be no more. There would indeed re-
main a few powerfully situated forts, which would have,
. however, to fight for their rivers under new and precarious
conditions. For present purposes, then, we may safely con-
clude that the Malakhoff Tower (which commands the Redan) is
Sebastopol. As the Malakhoff commands all thesonth, or now
assailed portion of Sebastopol, so the Brancion Redoubt, or
Mamelon, commands the Malakhoff. Now, this-being so, there
are two interesting particulars; first, what the Russians said
about our getting the original key of this position; and,
secondly, into what situation the captors !have, by that
and the ulterior success, been practically conducted. The
Russians in the outset—having made desperate exertions to
defend what was the very door of their ' safe,' and finding
that our allies, on the night of the 22nd of May, although
victorious, had retired after the first nocturnal battle—pro-
claimed a thanksgiving and sang a wean, Prince .Gortseha-
koff sent, on the strength of the same event, a ;very curious
report to his government. It is still more curious that he has
sent no report whatever (at least, none that was published) of
what took place on the night following. The mere truth is
that 26 Russian battalions were soundly beaten, in a whole
day's fighting, by 10 battalions of French, collected from all
parts of the empire (African alike and French proper);. then
the Russians recovered their ground, only on permission and
sufferance, for a few hours, and the next evening, although
largely reinforced, they lost them definitively. The Malakhoff
Tower, the guns of which certainly do command the Redan,
is situated on a sort of niveau or level height, the extremity
of which is now in the possession of the French, and is called
the Mamelon. But at the Mamelon this height declines
downward, and looks into the valley of the 'l'chernaya, bend-
ing from Inkerman towards Balaklava. And between this
conquered point and the Russian ' strength,' the ground rises
again; so that, properly speaking, neither the Malakhoff Tower
nor the Brancion Redoubt rules the other, although the
possession of the latter by the defender impedes against the
former by the assailants. The French have securely established
themselves in this once formidable outpost, have advanced, by
invisible and underground zig-zags, within 150 yards of the
tower. At the mouth of the covered way they have established
a battery of light guns to check sallies. The approach is
sure, though slow."
The following is from The Times correspondent :
KAMARA, JULY 24.
•
Omar Pasha has not yet returned from Constantinople, and
the idea is more and more gaining ground that he will not
again return to the Crimea. But, nevertheless, he is expected
back by the soldiers with great anxiety.
In the re:ft—for since all idea of an advance on this side has
been given up we again form the rear—there is nothing new,
except that some English light cavalry had been sent down to
the Vale of Baidar. They are detachments of the 4th Light
Dragoons, the Bth and 11th Hussars, and the 17th Lancers,
and they have occupied an open place alongside an old Tartar
cemetery, near the Woronzow-road, where this latter begins
to ascend towards the sea.
The French have moved on to Tchoulion, near the bridge
leading over the Tchernaya. Here this latter river forms our
boundary. It is occupied in its whole length from the spot
where it comes out of its native mountains, near the village of
Skelir, down to Inkermann. The only exception forms th
part of it where, leaving the VallKofekdifa gicrvnif only,
nly,
and that with considerable difficulty, accessible to pedestrians
down to Tchorgonn, where it leaves this gorge. Our outposts
were, until lately, everywhere on the opposite bank of the
river; but a slight change occurred a few days ago iu tuts
respect.
The Russians had, for some time past, been seen working
on the road leading up to Mackenzie's Farm. In the begin-
ning it looked as if they were fortifying, but it soon became
clear that, on the contrary, they were repairing the road,
where it had been cut up, in order to make it inaccessible to
any advancing force. Lately they have come down and re-
paired likewise the battery which commands the ascent of the
road, and which had been destroyed by the French on the
occasion of their advance to the Tchernaya. In consequence
of this movement of the Russians, the French outposts retired
over the bridge of Traktir.
All this looks as if the Russians had some intentions to
attack us, instead of waiting for our advance.
On the night of Sunday and Monday we had some heavy
firing in front. According to the accounts which have reached
us, the French were vigourously attacked by the Russians in
the Mamelon works, but repulsed the attack. The High-
landers are spoken of as having taken a considerable part in
repelling the Russians. But you will hear all about this from
your correspondent in the British camp ; I give you only the
version which is afloat in the Turkish camp.
ON the 30th ult., Patrick Nelson, a mason's labourer, and
another Irish labourer, named Wilkinson, were at a public-
house, in Buyers-green, when the former began to boast how
much he could drink. Wilkinson bet him half-a-crown he
could not drink twenty glasses of whiskey in an hour. They
each put down half-a-crown, and the whiskey was ordered in.
Deceased drunk all off in about eight minutes, and then
offered to drink other twenty, but the landlady refused to
bring him any more. In about half-an-hour he fell off his
seat, and became speechless and insensible, and soon after
died.—Durham Advertiser.
Tun Naw POSTAL ARBANGEmENrs.—Great numbers of
stamped newspapers sent through the post-office have been
charged postage owing to the paper not being folded so that
the whole of the stamp is " exposed to view and distinctly
visible on the outside." Persons forwarding newspapers by
post would do well to observe this condition of transmission.
On the first day of the new arrangements thousands upon
thousands of papers were cancelled at St. Martin's-le,-Grand.
In many instances the papers had not been folded so as to
show the stamp, and in others the postage stamp put upon the
unstamped paper and supplement was not enough for the
weight. The excitement was so great that it actually proved
fatal to the sanity of one of the most respectable news-agents
in the metropolis. The general mixture of his journals,
stamped with unstamped, the mistakes of his news-boys, the
cries of others who came as customers, the lateness of the hour,
and the impossibility of keeping his engagements with his
subscribers, were too much for a mind previously harassed by
domestic trouble, and in the midst of the uproar he went crazy
—literally mad.— Cambridge Press.
TEE TREATY WITU Sre.3.l.—The Times, referring to the
commercial treaty just concluded through the agency of Sir
John Bowring with the King of Siam, says—" We regard the
conclusion of this treaty as a matter of very real and reason-
able congratulation. Even under the old prohibitive system
the trade with Siam was by no means insignificant, and, now
that it is thrown open, it bids fair to attain very considerable
extension. The country produces very good sugar, rice, and
woods for dyeing, so that it must have considerable purchasing
power, and the accession of 6,000,000 customers cannot fail to
be felt in our centres of industry at home, and add fresh ac-
tivity to the busy mart of Singapore. We hope that peace
and harmony may long prevail between the two nations, and
that our new friend and his successors, content with a free com-
mercial intercourse, will abstain from provoking a power which
desires nothing better than to leave them in undisturbed p9s-
session of their crown and territory. Nor iu a political point
of view is this treaty less agreeable. The King of Siam has,
no doubt, been subjected to numerous solicitations from Rus-
sia and the United States of America, and if he has preferred
our friendship to theirs it is probably because he thought us
the most favourable to his independence, and the least likely
to interfere with his patrimony. This Prince, had he been
disposed to be troublesome, might, had he sided with Burmah,
have afforded us a good. deal of annoyance, and has, by his
ready acquiescence in our views, considerably diminished the
chance of a fresh rupture between us and the Court of Ava."
PUBLIC HORSBWHIPPING.—On Friday, when one of the
Patrick omnibusses was starting from Argyle-street, a gen-
tleman of high standing in Glasgow made his appearance at
the place, and was about to step into the vehicle. Before he
had time to do so, however, another gentleman who had been
seated on the top, decended to the pavement in great haste,
and taking from his pocket a horsewhip, commenced applying
it with all his might to the back and shoulders of the other.
At this unexpected salute the latter very naturally turned
round, and, trying to defend himself as well as he could, ex-
claimed, " What do you mean, sir ? who are •you ? what is the
meaning of this ?" or some words to that effect. His as-
sailant, who seemed to be frantic with rage, replied that he
knew him well enough, and again commenced to lay on the
whip with great energy. The other, who remained cool and
passive under his severe castigation, protested that he did
not know his assailant, that he could not understand what he
meant, and that there must be some mistake in the matter.
The gentleman who wielded the whip replied in very strong
language, branded the other as a liar, and accused him of in-
sulting a certain lady—handing at: the sane time his card.
By this' time some of the police interfered, a considerable
crowd had assembled, and both the gentlemen were dragged
or mobbed into the omnibus-office, where, amid another explo-
sion of anger, and a very free application of not the most
courteous language, the whip was again in requisition, and
laid on with great vigour. At last the parties were separated,
and both proceeded to the omnibus. The gentleman first in-
troduced to our readers as being of distinguished celebrity,
and who had submitted with singular temper to this unex-
pected flagellation, took his seat in the inside. The other, who
is also a gentleman of standing in Glasgow, and moves in the
best circles, took his seat on the top ; and so away went the
omnibus, leaving the astonished spectators behind to form

FOREIGN lIVTELLIGENCE.
PRA-NCE.—The official report gives the amount subscribed
for the new French loan at the enormous sum of three thou-
sand six hundred millions of francs; £144,000,000 sterling! or
more than five•times the amount required. The subscribers
number' 310,000. The subscriptions of 50f. reach 230,000;000f.
These latter are accepted in full.—The large force which has
been collecting at Marseilles for some time, is about to leave
in '97 steamers,chartered for the Crimea. Each vessel will
carry 500 men. The flotilla will make a trial trip before pro-
ceeding to the seat of war. —A smart shock of an earthquake
occurred at Lyons on the 25th, and occasioned some slight
damage to several houses. Letters from the provinces speak
of the shock having been felt distinctly at Strasburg, Mul-
house, Metz, 'Grenoble, Besancon, Auxonne, and Dijon, but
no casualties are reported in any of those places.—The Em-
peror and Empress reached Paris on Monday evening, having
left Bordeaux at eight in the morning, and stopped at An-
gouldme, Tours, and Aubrais. _Their Majesties will, it is said,
take up their residence at-the Chateau of Villeneuve-rEtang,
while awaiting the arrival of- .the Queen of England. The
Empress is much improved: in health.
SPAlN.—Advices from Barcelona speak of the ruinous effects
of the insurrection. - .Many of the influential manufacturers
and opulent individuals had: left, or were preparing to leave
that city; five hundred millions of reals have been withdrawn
from circulation, and thousands of the working population had
been reduced to hopeless beggary.—A despach of the 30th from
Madrid states that the governors of provinces have claimed
the church property confiscated by the new law. The sales
will soon commence.—A letter of the 27th says :—" The mar-
riage which it was believed had been resolved on between a
daughter of Don Francisco de Paula and Prince Adalbert of
Bavaria, appears to have been broken off. The Prince sud-
denly quitted the Court, which is at the Escurial, to come here,
and he is immediately to leave for Munich. It is said that he
has been summoned home immediately to join the army, but
it is possible that this has been done only to cause the mar-
riage to fail.
SWITZERLAND.—A letter in the Times thus describes the
earthquake near Mont Cervin, Switzerland :—" The impres-
sion given to those within this house was that some powerful
agent had violently shaken the.house backwards and forwards.
The ceilings were cracked and portions of plaster fell, stones
were thrown from the roofs of the chalets, and large blocks of
rock were hurled down from the mountains." The greatest
damage done by the earthquake was at Loueche (Valais) in
Switzerland, where an hotel was thrown down. The persons
who were in it escaped with difficulty.
TURKEL—A conflagration took place at Constantinople on
the 17th of July, and for a time exposed the French military
workshops to imminent danger. The fire began just after
noon, and, favoured by the heat of the sun and an impetuous
changing wind, consumed 130 houses. The buildings occupied
by the French were entirely of wood, and were only saved by
the incessant exertions of the potnpiers, who likewise saved
many of the houses of the town, which must otherwise have
been destroyed. A letter from Constantinople ofJuly 19 says:
" The Sultan has ordered magnificent necklaces in brilliants to
be made, as presents for Queen 'Victoria and the Empress
Eugdnie, and saddles, also embroidered in brilliants, to be made
for the Emperor, the King of Sardinia, and Prince Albert.
The value of these presents will be about 2,000,000 f. Ethem
Pasha, Minister of Public Works in Egypt, has arrived here.
He accompanies the sister of the Viceroy, who was married to
Kianil Pasha. ex-President of the Grand Council. Abbas
Pasha forced the couple to separate, but since his death they
have become reconciled, and again -live together."
RusslA.—The Russian government not having offered any
difficulty about the exchange of prisoners, preparations are
being made by the French commander-in-chief to liberate as
many as possible from Odessa.—A private letter from St.
Petersburg states that the Czar had given orders for every
inch of ground to be contested at Sebastopol, and that the
public buildings were to be blown up in case the allies succeed
in passing the second line of defence. The same communica-
tion states that the army in Asia was to be considerably aug-
mented.
GREECE.—A private letter from Athens announces that the
currants appear to have escaped this year the fatal malady of
the vines, which devastated them for three years consecutively.
It also states that the Mavrocordato Ministry has become con-
solidated since the entrance of Lycurgus Crestinitis and of
Zygomalas into the cabinet. These two energetic Ministers,
in concert with General Kalergi and M. Mavrocordato, have
succeeded in baffling, for the present, the intrigues of the
Russian party, who, still headed by the Queen, make desperate
efforts to overthrow the present Administration, all whose
sympathies, as you are aware, are for the Western Powers.
SYRIA.—A letter from Syria announces that an insurrection
had broken out at Hebron, under the command of a certain
Abdelrahman, and that in an encounter between his forces
and those of the government upwards of 200 men of both
sides had been slain. Abdelrahman, it is added, held forcible
possession of Hebron ; but the government was preparing
irregular troops to march against him.
EGYPT.—We learn from Cairo that on the 21st of July the
Austrian Archduke had arrived, and that the Viceroy of
Egytt was in negotiation with the revolted Bedouins, in order
to obtain money and men to serve in the Crimea.
SOUTH AMERICA..—By the steamer Iberia arrived at
Southampton, we learn that the Portuguese steamer Dom
Pedro 11. arrived at Lisbon on the 29th ult. with dates from
Rio Janeiro of July 1; Bahia, July 6; Pernambuco, July 9 ;
St. Vincent, July madeira, July 25.—At Rio the
stock ourree was 110,000 bags to the end of June, against
csi.),ooo for the corresponding period of last year. Exchanges
had opened dull at 27f, tint left off firm at 27i to 272,
£160,000 having been negotiated for the Dom Pedro. Dis-
counts 8 at the Banks, and 81 to 10 privately.—At Bahia the
exchange was quoted at 27 to 28, and at Pernambuco MIE
ship Joseph Sanderson, from Calcutta for Liverpool, all well,
in lat. 14 48, and long. 25 54 ; also, on the same day, spoke
the English bark Mary Stoddart—The royal mail steamer
Avon was spoken with at Bahia; she left that port on the 6th
July for Rio de Janeiro.—The Portuguese steamer Donna
Maria 11. left St. Vincent on the 18th for Pernambuco, and
the royal mail packet Great Western left Madeira on thp 17th,
also bound for the Brazilian ports.
WEST INDIES AND PACIFIC.—The Tyne arrived at South-
ampton on Friday with advices to the following dates :
Vera Cruz, July 5 ; Tampico, 1 ; Havana, 11 ; Santa Martha,
9 ; Greytown, 4 ; Carthagena, 11 Chagres, 9 ; Jamaica, 11 ;
Jacmel,. 13 ; Porto Rico, 15 ; Berbice, 9' • Demerara, 10 ;
Tobago, 12 ; Trinidad, 13 ; Barbadoes, 14 ; Grenada, 13 ; St.
Vincent's, 14 ; St. Lucia, 15 ; Martinique, 15 ' • Guadaloupe,
;16 ; Dominica, 15 Antigua, 16 ; St. Kitt's, 16; St. Thomas's,
18 ; Valparaiso, June 14 ; Callao, 24; and Paita, 27. She
brought $650,877 in specie. At St. Thomas's yellow fever
was very prevalent, and the mortality was rather great.
Heavy rains had fallen in Jamaica. In British Guiana the
progress of:the crops had been retarded by excessive rains.
At Grenada the weather was unfavourable for the crops. We
learn from Chili that a company had been formed for the con-
struction of a railroad from Santiago to Talca. The mines of
Copiapo were still improving. Rich deposits had been reached
in Chanarcillo and Tres Puntas. The state of the weather
was unfavourable to commerce. In commercial matters there
is no change for the better to report. Freight to England £5
to £5 10s. per ton.
INnrA.—Bombay dates are to June 27. The rains had
commenced auspiciously, and, as far as accounts inform us,
the opening of the south-west monsoon had been attended
by neither squall nor thunderstorm. The catherans and rob-
bers on the Peshawur frontier have been giving some annoy-
ance, sacking the villages within the frontier, burning the
grain stored for the season, and carrying the inhabitants away
with them. Major Edwardes, the Commissioner, with a
brigade of the Punjaub Irregular Horse, under the command
of Major Neville, Chamberlain, had been out endeavouring to
bring to order a series of villages which for three years had
refused tribute, and spurned allegiance. On the approach of
our troops the rebels sued for peace, offered to pay up their
arrears, and promised to be on their good conduct henceforth;
and, as this was all that was desired, they were left unmo-
lested. Village burning is only resorted to with those who,
having invaded our territories, and done all the mischief in
their power, retire before and defy us. The Governor-General
is still on the Neilgherries, which he is not likely to leave till
October next, and Lord Elphinstone is at Poona.
CnrivA.— Canton dates are brought down to June 8. The
Overland Friend of China regards the recent reverses of the
rebels as only temporary and local. The Pekin Gazette of
April 20 supports this view, admitting that Woo-chang, the
capital of Hoo-pih, has been taken by the rebels, and Hank'.
how has again fallen into their hands. The Lieut.-Governor
of Hoo-Kwang and the Prefect of the provincial city both
died in the struggle. The North China Herald states that
the rebels have taken the city of Kwang-sin, in the north-east
part of Keang-se, and that Lew, of Shanghae notoriety, and
Seiou-kin-tsze, are said to have raised their standard at Tung-
pa, situate about sixty miles to the north-west of Soo-chow.
The Canton government, according to the last-mentioned
authority, is straining every nerve to carry forward its plan
of ruling the country by sanguinary force ; and, in pursuance
of this, a reward of fifty dollars per head is given to the lead-
ingmen of villages for every man denounced as 'a disaffected.'
The distress among the poorer classes at Canton has been
relieved by considerable importations of rice. H.M.S. Rattler
has been busy among the pirates. On the 28th of May a
second pirate fleet of six boats was destroyed, five captured
vessels released, about thirty pirates killed, and four made
prisoners by the boats. It was said that the headman on
shore had caused five of the pirates to be seized. They were
offered to be given up on payment of a reward. Next week,
however, a colonial lorcha, with seventy chests of opium on
board, was captured by 4 fleet of pirates at St. John's, on the
west coast.
AIISTRALIA..—The ship Catteaux Wattell has arrived from
Sydney with accounts of May 13, and is supposed to have gold
on board. The dates from Melbourne, indirect, are May 10.
The Boomerang, with the English mail of Feb. 5, had not
arrived, being eighty-eight days out. The Essex was to leave
Melbourne June 1. The import market at Sydney maintained
the improvement which occurred before the last advices were
despatched; but the supplies were adequate, and of building
materials in excess. The Government had not raised the
duties. Produce was in demand, as the exchange in London
had risen to 2 per cent. for thirty days' bills. Via Panama,
we have also dates from Melbourne to the 10th.
CANTERBURY, NEW ZEALAND.—A man of the • name of
M`Kenzie, influenced, we presume, by the " border," spirit of
his ancestors, coolly " lifted" a flock of 1,000 sheep, which he
drove off in a westerly direction, with the view, it is supposed,
of getting into the Nelson district over the mountains. After
a chase of some days the sheep were recaptured, and tke thief
himself subsequently taken.—lt is confidently stated that a
process has been discovered by a resident that effectively and
cheaply prepares flax for the market. So satisfied is -le in-
ventor of the feasibility of his plan, that he is preparing an
establishment for carrying out operations on an extensive
scale.—The funds of this province are most flourishing, the ex-
penditure for the last quarter of 1854 being but £2,1(0, and
the balance in hand £22,700.
TITIMISH Lou BlLL—Aftei reciting the text of the con-
vention, the bill authorizes her. Majesty, in conjunction with
his Majesty the Emperor of the French, to guarantee the in-
terest on the loan, for which purpose the Commissioners of
the Treasury are authorized to issue out of the consoldated
fund of the United Kingdom such sums of money as nay at
any time be required to be paid to fulfil her Majesty's
gua-
rantee in respect of such interest as and when it may become
payable, together with the attendant charges of management
thereon, such charges in no case to exceed the rate of £3OO
per million of capital on which such interest shall be.so pay-
able. Sums repaid as interest are to be carried to the Con-
solidated Fund, and the accounts are to be laid before Radix-
ment,

CATTLE.
LIVERPOOL, Auo. 6.—We have to report liberal supplies of
stock again at market, being a slight increase on last week. The
trade for beef ruled slow at a slight decline on prime qualities,
but middling and inferior very heavy. The unceasing rain all
day was very much against sheep and lambs, and business ruled
very inactive. Prime qualities were scarce, and maintained last
week's currencies;but other descriptions were difficult to sell at
id per lb. decline. Beef, 6id to 6id ; mutton, 6d to 7d ; lambs,
6id to 7d per lb. Cattle, 1,700; sheep and lambs, 21,000.
SALFORD, Au°. I.—There being a similar show to last week,
all kinds of stock maintained former rates. Best beef, 6id to 70
middling, 6d to 6id ; cows, 5d to 6d; best wedders in wool, 61d
to lid ; clipped, 6d to 6id ; ewes, 5d to 5d ; lambs, bid to 70 ;
calves, 5d to 6d. Number of beasts, 851 ; sheep and lambs,
10,376; calves, 97.
DUBLIN, Atm 2.--Contrary to general expectation that the
recent high prices would not continue for any length of time for
the English markets, we had again a very firm market, with direct
buying for the London market, and at full prices, single heifers
going at £24 to each, and prime wedder sheep R 3 8s to R 3 10s.
Beef, sinking offal, 60s to 67s 6d, single beasts, 70s per cwt;
mutton, 6d to 'lid per lb, also in sink ; veal, 7d to lid and 8d per
lb; lambs, 28s to 301 each. Pigs not quoted.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE LIVERPOOL STANDAED.
; she had fitted it up with book-shelves, a
guitar, and painting materials, and they passed much
of their time there. It afterwards appeared that,
unable to sleep, the idea had struck Lady Falkland
that she would take a last farewell of this room,
endeared by so many early and tender remembrances ;
she sat down on a low ottoman there, her own peculiar
seat, rested her head on the chair usually occupied by
Sir Edgar, and gave vent to her grief and passionate
sobs, till at length she fell into that dull and heavy
sleep so often the result of continued weeping.
She awoke to a scene of awful danger ; she
attempted to open the door, but the flames and smoke
that assailed her immediately drove her to the window ;
' it was two stories from the ground—death would be
the result of an endeavour to leap from it. One of the
servants immediately ran to a neighbouring farm,
where, he said, was a ladder of sufficient length to
reach the window ; but how poor appeared this pros-
pect of relief, when the danger was so impiediate and
imminent! The staircase was in flames—who could
venture to ascend it ? I offered large pecuniary
rewards to the person who should save her life. One
of the under-gardeners, tempted by my munificence,
advanced a few steps into the house and then returned.
" I shall be suffocated in the attempt," he said,
"and what will become of my widow and fatherless
children ?"
" At that moment, Sir Edgar, who had been giving
directions in a different part of the premises, made his
appearance, and, more by gestures than by words, we
pointed out to him the situation of his wife. I shall
never forget his agonised cry of distress ; but he did
not waste a moment in deliberation. He snatched
from me my military cloak, and rushed into the house.
The old steward, who had been in the family at the
time of his birth, endeavoured to hold him back.
" You are rushing to certain death, dear Sir Ed-
gar,' he cried ; pray return.' But Sir Edgar shook
him off.
" I will save her life,' he exclaimed, or lose my
own in the attempt ;' and in another moment he dis-
appeared up the blazing staircase. I had scarcely
time to hope before Lady Falkland gave me fresh
cause for alarm. The flames were approaching
rapidly to the place where she stood : she evidently
contemplated the desperate measure of a leap from the
window • and I was shuddering at the idea of speedily
beholding -her mangled form, when I saw her drawn
tiack by a strong hand. Sir Edgar wrapped the cloak
round her, and carried her from the window. Once
more I ventured to breathe; as Sir Edgar had
ascended the staircase without material injury, I
trusted that he might descend in the same manner ;
but at that moment the event so long anticipated took
place, the staircase fell in with a tremendous crash,
and all hopes of retreat were cut off. A dreadful and
inevitable death seemed now the portion of the young
people : but there was a melancholy consolation in the
idea that they would die together, clasped in each
others arms, and exchanging mutual assurances of
forgiveness. My head began to swim, and my eyes to
feel dim, and I was on the point of sinking to the
ground, when loud shouting voices near me aroused
me to perception ; a party of men were approaching,
bearing the expected ladder ; and headed by Denms
O'Flaherty, an Irish labourer at the farm. Even at
this moment the thought passed through my mind of
the strange manner in which we estimate the value of
a person according to the existence of local circum-
stances. I had frequently, during my visits at the
hall conversed with Dennis O'Flaherty, and amused
Myself much with his brogue, his blunders, and his
uncouth manners. I knew him to be an honest and
good-natured fellow; but it had never entered into my
head that he could be of use to me in' any other point
of view than as a person to be laughed at ; but, now,
when I contemplated his athletic frame, his muscular
limbs and his bold bearing, I felt that the most gifted
genius, or the most polished courtier of the age, would
be an object of inferior consequence in my eyes to
Dennis O'Flaherty, and the sweetest music would
have been less delightful to my ears than the powerful
brogue which made itself heard above all the uproar,
in vehement commands to his companions, ' To waste
no time, but set up the ladder quick and steady.' It
was speedily put up under Dennis's direction ; he was
at the top in a moment. Sir Edgar deposited the
fainting Lady Falkland in his arms ; he speedily bore
her down, and Sir Edgar followed in safety. Three
loud cheers broke from the assembled spectators as he
reached the ground. I could not join in their accla-
mations, but I silently mid fervently offered up a
thanksgiving to Heaven for the preservation of my
dear young friends, and a prayer that the circum-
stances attending it might have a beneficial effect on
their future lives. Lady Falkland was not hurt by
the flames, although weeping and hysterical through
alarm, she was immediately borne to the farm, and
medical assistance was procured for her. Sir Edgar
had not escaped so well ; he was severely scorched,
and in great pain, but in the midst of his sufferings he
could not refrain from telling me of his happiness ;
the few minutes that elapsed between his entrance
into Lady Falkland's room, and the arrival of the
ladder, had passed in mutual entreaties for -pardon, in
the most tender interchange of protestations of affec-
tion, and in their lamentations over their too probable
separation from each other by death, although they
had both so recently desired to effect a separation'in
life. At length the medical man, having left Lady
Falkland, took Sir Edgar under his care, and imme-
diately silenced his transports by a composing
draught; fire-engines arrived from the county town,
and in a few hours the house had ceased to blaze ;
presenting, however, a lamentable spectacle of
blackened and smoking ruins.
" Morning came ; the father and mother of Lady
Falkland were expected, and I rode to meet them,
anxious to acquaint them with the happy change in
the prospects of their daughter ; they were astonished
that I should greet them with a smile, still more so
when I described the tremendous scene of the preced-
ing night, which seemed little calculated to excite such
a token of pleasure ; but most grateful were they
when I had finished my story, and fervently did they
return thanks to the gracious Lord, who had thus
wonderfully and mysteriously wrought good out of evil.
" Lady Falkland attended her husband with the
most unremitting tenderness and assiduity during an
illness of several weeks ; on his recovery they passed
some months in travelling, and neither of them made
any complaints of want of attention on the part of the
other. The house was rebuilt exactly in the same
form, but it was more attractive to my eyes than it
had ever been, for it had now become a ' Mansion of
I Peace.' " _ _ _
" And do you really think it possible, uncle," said
Emma, " that a couple who were once on the verge of
separation, could be thoroughly happy afterwards ?"
" It is not only possible, but it is true, said Major
Hervey ; they are as happy, Emma, as your own dear
father and mother."
" Now, uncle, I cannot believe you ; I shall be only
satisfied with proofs."
" Then I will give you a proof, Emma, which will
be quite satisfactory ; it is of your own dear father
and mother I have been speaking."
Emma cast a wondering, incredulous glance towards
her mother.
" Surely my uncle is jesting ?" said she.
" No, my love," answered Lady Wilmot ; " he has
given you, under imaginary names, a narrative of facts.
The awful scene took place twenty years ago, on this
very site, and the room in which we are now sitting
answers to the one in which I stood, momentarily ex-
pecting a painful and violent death, and shrinking
from the idea of appearing before my Creator with a
spirit irritated by angry pride, and a conscience
burdened with the neglect and defiance of my duties
as a wife and as a christian. I trust that, by the
assistance of Providence, I have been enabled to correct
the faults of my temper, and most happy, my. dear
Emma, am I to say that I have never observed any
indications of the same imperious and exacting dis-
position in you ; but in case any future alteration in
your situation should bring to light defects in your
temper hitherto unknown, I am glad that your uncle
has told you these particulars of the early wedded life
of myself and your dear father. Your choice, I trust,
will be cautious and prudent ; but that choice once
made, consider that it is equally your duty and interest
to bear patiently with the foibles of the object of it,
and ever remember that the bonds you assume are not
merely light and temporary ties, but are to be worn
by yourself, and by the husband of your selection, in
fidelity and constancy, so long as ye both shall live.' "

MORE BISHOPS.
THE popular ideas of a Bishop are very diverse
people look "at the office through such different
media, that the distortion caused by the refraction is
as remarkable as it is curious. The different Ministers
of the day seem each to have their own private
opinion as to the purpose of this office. One thinks it
a place to reward a scholar for his learning ; so it was
some years ago the fashion to promote schoolmasters
and heads of colleges to the Episcopate. Another
considers latitudinarian views the great desideratum.
Sir JAMES GRAHAM'S idea was singularly simple : the
Bishop was a man who was to confer orders, and to
confirm at stated periodical times, spend a few months
in London during the Parliamentary session, and then
live in dignified ease at his palace for the rest of the
year. Politicians in the lower house also had their
opinions :—Radicals dreaded a fresh introduction to
the House of Lords, as likely to be a hindrance to
their plans of civil and religious reform ; political
Dissenters trembled at the extension of the influence
which the Church would gain at every erection of a
new See ; while earnest and enlightened Churchmen
looked simply at the fact, that every new Bishop
would be an instrument in carrying out the great
charge of the Great Head of the Church—of extending
His kingdom among men. With so many opponents
in high places, and so few real earnest friends, it is no
wonder that the increase of the Episcopate in an
adequate measure is yet to be accomplished. Yet we
have no hesitation in saying, that a strong, firm,
united demonstration on the part of Churchmen
would accomplish much. It was owing chiefly
to the determinate opposition of the late Lord Powis
that the Welsh See of Bangor was saved, when
Manchester was created ; and to the like deter-
mination, on the part of the inhabitants of the Isle of
Man, that that Bishopric was not made a mere
apanage to St. Asaph. We believe the time is
come for a united effort to effect an increase of
Bishops. A great and marked change has taken place
in public opinion ; the true idea of a Bishop is forcing
itself even on the hard and impenetrable brain of the
politician ; it only wants the largely and firmly ex-
pressed opinion of Churchmen, lay and clerical, to
gain the point. The opportunity is given by the pub-
lication of the last report of the Cathedral commis-
sion. That commission calmly, but boldly, proclaims
the want, and suggests the remedy. Means are already
taken to carry out a part of its suggestions in the
erection of four new Sees, where the want is most
glaring, ana the means the most ready at hand.
Abbey Churches exist at Westminster, St. Alban's,
Soutlkwell ; a fine Church, with an endowment for a
Bishopric, at St. Colurnb Major, in Cornwall ; and
here it is proposed to erect the additional Bishoprics.
Now this may do very well for an instalment, but it
will neither satisfy the Churchman, nor supply the
wants of the Church. What is wanted are local
eforts ; Churchmen uniting in our large towns,
drawing 'up plans for obtaining subscriptions towards
the endowment of a Bishopric. It was local efforts
that saved to Wales her four sees ; it was local efforts
that preserved to the Isle of Man its ancient rights ;
and local efforts, properly directed, will secure an
increase of Bishops throughout the length and breadth
of the land. Let us explain what we want in a
Bishop, and why we want him. We do not want him
for political power ; we are quite indifferent about his
having a seat in the House of Lords. We want a
Bishop to be the head of the Church in the town—to
take part in every good work that is there—to head
us in unurell C3LeUaivu xllll tuna wuavai. - VI e ‘lllll 111111
to be there when his clergy, yes, and laymen too, need
advice and support : not to be so overwhelmed with
business that his clergy have scarcely access to him,
nor he time to answer their letters ; but one who is
fully acquainted with both the persons of the clergy,
and the state of their respective parishes. People do
not know the value of a Bishop,because he is necessa-
rily so far from them ; they cannot understand what
good there would be for more, because they are cut off
from the proper intercourse with the few that we
have ; give us more, and we shall learn to understand
the benefit. All we ask the Legislature for is a per-
missive act, to enable HER MAJESTY to erect a
Bishopric whenever the inhabitants of any town or
county desire it, and when proper funds are provided,
either by local efforts, or by the Ecclesiastical Com-
missioners, or both, We are sure that immense
results would follow such an act, for a very great
change has taken place in public opinion on this
particular point. Men are beginning to understand
what is wanted ; they perceive that the Clergy are not
seeking for secular power, or political influence, but are
only earnestly endeavouring to educate and civilize the
people under their charge ; that they believe one of
the greatest means to this end would be an
increase in the Episcopate, a subdivision of the
vast labour that now lies upon one man's shoul-
ders. The most remarkable proof of what we
are affirming is found in one place where a
local effort was made, viz., Newcastle-upon-Tyne. We
happened to be very well acquainted with this place
some twenty-five years ago ; we were there during
the excitement of the Reform Bill, and in few places
did that excitement wear so dangerous and revolution-
ary an appearance as it did there. A considerable
number of the leaders of the movement were avowed
infidels, most indifferent to religion, all hostile to the
Church. Nov, some of those very persons are they
who have come forward to advocate the establishment
of a Bishop's See at Newcastle. They have found out
by long experience the civilizing, humanizing influence
of the Church upon the people ; and, perhaps, going
no further than this present life, they wish that they
may parfolm of that benefit. A few more openly-
expressed wishes in other large and influential towns.
and the cause would be gained. Why is Liver-
pool not stirring ? The Commission Report, indeed,
states, that "local efforts might be expected at Liver-
pool." Why are they not begun ? Where are our
Rectors ? Where our wealthy merchants P There are
many who would hail with delight the thought of a
" Bishop of Liverpool." Why do they not stir ? Surely
the second commercial town in England is worthy of
that honour, and surely it can afford the means. Let us
have a public meeting, a committee, an organisation.
It is a matter in which men of all parties can join and
co-operate--a point in itself sufficiently valuable to
claim attention.

giving a report of the proceedings of the St. Helens Improve-

sanitary improvements formed the principal topic, although
the former had previously been considered, and it is to be

popular, would ensure its success, as such a boon would be

T 4IVERPOOL DOCKS.—Provisions of New Act
of Parliament.
The Dock Trustees think it right to intimate to the Commer-
cial Public that the New Dock Act has come into operation, and
contains the following additional provisions with reference to
general management.
Imported goods left on the Dock Quays longer than 48 hours
after landing, and goods for Export or other purposes remaining
on the Quays so as to cause obstruction, may now (as was before
the case with respect to Timber) be removed and warehoused by
the Trustees, and can be restored to their owners only on the pay-
ment of expenses, and in case of default there is a power of sale
for recovering such expenses. This additional remedy is, more-
over, not to affect the former law as respects penalties.
All vessels are now required to keep such a quantity of cargo
or ballast on board as to enable them to be forthwith removed in
safety, in case of accident, or when required for despatch of
business. Penalty £SC.
The Harbour and Dock Masters have now also the power of
directing the removal of vessels in a Dock, or from one Dock to
another, and their position, loading and discharging therein,
and in case of neglect may themselves remove the same, charging
the owners with the expenses.
Vessels on which any tonnage or other dues may be owing,
and vessels damaging Dock works, may now be detained until
dues paid, or damages satisfied.
Under former Acts the Shipowner bad a lien for freight on
goods discharged into the Dock Warehouses, in the same manner
as if they had remained in the ship, but doubts have been enter-
tained whether this privilege extended to any other his lawful
claims of lien, such as for salvage, jettison, and in cases of dis-
puted rights of property, &c. This doubt is now removed, to
the considerable benefit of Shipowners.
The Harbour and Dock Masters are now protected in the exe-
cution of their duty, by the imposition of a penalty of .elO on all
persons obstructing or impeding them, or disobeying their lawful
orders, or using abusive or offensive language.
Additional powers have been given for facilitating the collection
of Dock Dues, and preventing evasion. The 60th and 125th Sec-
tions of the Customs Act of 1853, providing for the delivery to the
Collector within fourteen days next after the discharge inwards,
and the clearance outwards, of all vessels at Liverpool, correct
lists or manifests (in the former case), and transcripts of mani-
fests (in the latter case), comprising full particulars of all free
goods imported or exported, are now repealed as respects the
Customs, and re-enacted in the Dock Act, with the addition of
being extended to all goods, whether dutiable or free. It will be
•.1 •.• a., a-1 •t. oay
all such lists, &c., are to be deposited, not at the Custom-house,
as heretofore, but at the Dock Office, and it is requested that they
may be so deposited at the "Check Office," on the ground door
of that building, where they are now examined by clerks expressly
appointed to such duty. The penalty 0€20) for not duly deliver-
ing such lists, &c., is also made to attach, not, as before, to the
wilful evasion only of such dues, but to any neglect or omission to
pay them, and may be enforced as well against principals in houses
of business as their clerks or servants, and the magistrate on the
bearing of any complaint is empowered to call for the production
of cargo books, bills of lading, or other documents relating to the
cargo of any ship mentioned in such complaint.—By order of the
Dock Committee, DANIEL MASON, Secretary.

FIRMNESS AND lIONESTY OF NEWTON
The last thing, Sir, that I shall trouble you with, shall be
a passage relating to the coinage of the copper money some
years ago, which pleased me much in setting forth the
integrity of my friend Sir Isaac. The occasion of our dis-
course was, the great inconveniences which many underwent
by the delay of the coinage of this sort of money. The occa-
sion of which delay Sir Isaac told me, was from the numerous-
petitions that were presented to them, in most of which some
person or other of quality was concerned. Amongst others,
he told me that an agent of one had made him an offer of
above £6,000, which Sir Isaac refusing on account of its being
a bribe, the agent said he saw no dishonesty in the acceptance
of the offer, and that Sir Isaac understood not his own interest.
To which Sir Isaac replied, that he knew well enough what
was his duty, and that no bribes should corrupt him. The
agent then told him, that he came from a great Dutchesse,
and pleaded her quality and interest. To which Sir Isaac
roughly answered, " I desire you to tell the lady, that if she
was here herself, and had made me this offer, I would have
desired her to *go out of my house; and so I desire you, or you
shall be turned out." Afterwards he learned who the
Dutchesse was."
Newton's great attainments as a chemist have been
already alluded to, and the fitness for the office of
Master of the Mint, which those attainments conferred
on him, have been glanced at. That these qualifica-
tions were chiefly obtained by diligent study of the
fruitless science of alchemy, is no diminution of their
practical value, nor couldit at all justify the unprincipled
attempt to denude him of the office and saddle the
country with the heavy annual burden of £2,000
during his life, as a pension to him for giving up the
place that a political partizan of the Minister might
be inducted to it. So, however, it was ; and in the
biography now under consideration we have the fol-
lowing example of

THE SIEGE OF SEBASTOPOL.
FOR several days we have been without any intelli-
gence from the seat of war in the East, and the anxiety
for news has been greater as the means of gratifying
it seem to have been less. The public are, no doubt,
extremely desirous to learn all that can be told of the
progress of affairs in which they are so much interested ;
but intelligent men will have no difficulty in perceiving
that the strategies of war, to be successful, are best re-
lated after they have been performed. We have known
too much during the progress of the siege of what was
about to be done ; and as all such intelligence is as open
to the enemy as to ourselves, the publicity may have
been the means of defeating them. The Generals,
however, appear to have grown wiser by experience.
With the Electric Telegraph under their controul, they
have confined their communications to some such intel-
ligible information as " All is well ;" " the troops are
healthy ;" " we are progressing favourably," &c. With
such scraps of comfort we must be content until the
preparations shall have been crowned with success,
and then the country may be ringing with the glorious
—O.. of g"'^4 virirmw_ hoalloa_ of
the Russians," or " Fall of Sebastopol." With the
little information of an authentic character that we
have received, the official despatches saying nothing as
to intentions, there is every reason to believe that some
affair of moment is in contemplat!on. Letters from
the Crimea speak of rumours of attacks which it was
contemplated would take place about this time, and
an expedition in preparation, the object of which was
not known. Within the last few days, the French
EMPEROR has purchased the whole fleet of steam-
boats, to the number of 97, navigating the Rhone and
the Saone ; and these, which are destined for the Black
Sea, will be capable of disembarking an army of 50,000
men in any of the rivers or creeks of the Crimea, where,
from the shallowness of water, larger vessels dare not
venture. Notwithstanding, therefore, the absence of
intelligence, we have reason to anticipate that, ere
long, we may receive accounts of a more decisive
character. •

LIVERPOOL, August 4, 1855.
ROYAL BANK BUILDINGS. -
Owing to the entire absence of Speculative operations in
the Market, concurrently with an increase in the Imports,
and a marked improvement in the quality of good Medium
Tea, which has become the more observable as the season
has advanced, we are enabled to call the attention of
Families to the article which can now be furnished at
3/4 per lb.
Although the Duty upon Tea was raised 3d. per lb. in the month
of April this year—still, in consequence of a large Stock of Tea
having been pressed on the Market, which affords a wider scope
for the selection of suitable qualities, we are in a position to
supply Families upon unusually favourable terms.
The EFFECTS OF SPECULATION IN TEA HAVE BEEN LATELY

the clearest practical evidence, which has been furnished season
after season. lb., s, ...-...,, miler country, can
be abundantly supplied with Tea from China, of every quality
and in any quantity, the spiritarrstektess andinordbtute Specu-
lation has continued as rife as ever, until arrestedlhis year by
ruinous losses.—This foolish propensity having been laid prostrate
by the dire consequences which it has brought upon itself, we may
now for some time anticipate a healthier tone in the Market, and
we have every confidence that the change resulting from this will

LIVERPOOL, August 4, 1855.
ROYAL BANK BUILDINGS. -
Owing to the entire absence of Speculative operations in
the Market, concurrently with an increase in the Imports,
and a marked improvement in the quality of good Medium
Tea, which has become the more observable as the season
has advanced, we are enabled to call the attention of
Families to the article which can now be furnished at
3/4 per lb.
Although the Duty upon Tea was raised 3d. per lb. in the month
of April this year—still, in consequence of 'a large Stock of Tea
having been pressed on the Market, which affords a wider scope
for the selection of suitable qualities, we are in a position to
supply Families upon unusually favourable terms.
The EFFECTS OF SPECULATION IN TEA HAVE BEEN LATELY
NO LESS CONSPICUOUS THAN DISASTROUS:—Notwithstanding
the clearest practical evidence, which has been furnished season
after season, that England, as well as every other country, can
be abundantly supplied with Tea from China, of every quality
lotion has continued as rife as ever, until arrested this year by
ruinous losses.—This foolish propensity having beer:laid prostrate
by the dire consequences which it has brought upon itself, we may
now for some time anticipate a healthier tone in the Market, and
we have every confidence that the change resulting from this will
enable us to give every advantage to our extended connection of
consumers, which continued inflexible adherence to quality is
calculated to secure.
We remain,
Your obliged and faithful Servants,
ROBT. ROBERTS & COMP Y,
Tea and Coffee Salesmen.

SCIENCE AND ART.
IT is said that one of the incidental results of the American
expedition to Japan is the discovery that the Zodiacal light is
a belt extending entirely round the earth, after the manner of
Saturn's ring. President Pierce, of Cambridge, (U.S.) considers
the fact established by the observations taken.
GRAPES IN CONSUMPTION.—The use of grapes, as an
article of food, is much recommended in cases of consumption,
being called the cure des raisins. They contain a large
quantity of grape sugar, the kind which more nearly resembles
milk sugar in its character and composition. This is also very
useful in consumption, as it has a great attraction for oxygen,
and therefore affords material for respiration.
A BOTANICAL DOUBT.—Sir John S. Forbes has communi-
cated his views to the Edinburgh Botanical Society on the
disease called " Finger-and-Toe." He considers it not a dis-
ease, but an attempt made occasionally by turnips and other
cultivated roots to revert, in spite of cultivation, to the natural
type. He recommends a careful selection of the roots for seed,
and culture on soil of good condition—refraining especially
from sowing seed in a poor soil which had been raised on rich
soil. Those who wish to observe the origin and progress of
"finger-and-toe" in turnips should commence to look out in
June or July at the furthest.
HYDROPHOBIA.—The following remedy for the bite of a
mad dog is reported to have been used by a person who was
bitten by a rabid animal six times, and never used any other
remedy :—Dissolve a pound of common salt in a quart of
spring water, and wash and squeeze the bitten part imme-
diately after the infliction of the wound for an hour, and then
bind some salt upon it for twelve hours. This will neither
counteract nor supersede any other means that may be deemed
necessary. The person bitten should keep as quiet as pos-
sible before the ablution, that exertion may not promote the
absorption of the virus. In Germany when such an occur-
rence takes place some dust, or any dry article, is directly
thrown on the bitten part, which absorbs the froth or saliva,
and thereby tends to diminish infection by imbibing the in-
fectious matter. When so many eminent practitioners have
failed in their endeavours to cure this dreadful malady, so
simple an expedient is worth the trial; for, if it does not
efficiently cure the disorder, it will doubtless mitigate the
direful effects.
THE PAINTING OF THE SISTINE CHAPEL IN THE VATICAN
AT ROME.-1n 1474 (says Mr. Scharf), Sixtus IV. employed
the best artists of the Tuscan and Umbrian schools to paint
the walls of this chapel with a series of compartments, six on
each side, from the history of the Saviour and of Moses, the
former being range 4 on the south wall. Thus, in accordance
with the established custom, the scenes from the Old Testa-
ment confronted those from the New. For example, Christ's
Sermon on the Mount faced Moses on the Mount, and the
Last Supper Wag opposite to the last commands of Moses to
Joshua. The painters employed were Luca Signorelli, Sandro
Botticelli, Cosimo Roselli, Salviati, Pietro Perugino, and
Domenico Ghirlandajo. The lecturer quoted Vasari's account
of Roselli's conduct in the Sistine Chapel : he was far inferior
to the other painters, and was aware of his deficiency ; but,
perceiving the weakness of the Pontiff, who delighted in gold
and finery, belaboured his work with gilding and ultramarine.
This was so much to the delight of the Holy Father, that he
commanded the other artists to spoil their works in a similar
manner for his gratification. _ -
DISCOVERY OF AUTOGRAPH SERMONS OF LUTHER.—
Twelve autograph sermons of Luther have recently been dis-
covered at Raksan, in Hungary. The Hungarian paper,
Divatesarnok, says :—" How these sermons have found their
way to Hungary is a question still to be settled, though sure
to be cleared up by a nearer perquisition of the records in
which the autographs were found. It is a well-known fact,
that Luther, for a long time, used to be in correspondence with
several learned Hungarians, mostly with Baron Peter Revay.
The MS. is bound in vellum, and contains twelve sermons,
written on thick brownish paper, in faded, though still very
legible black letters. The margin of the leaves shows marks
of having formerly been gilded. Each separate sermon is
signed with Luther's autograph signature ; and all these sig-
natures are so like to each other, that their being written by
one hand is beyond any doubt. This valuable discovery is at
present in the hands of M. Paul Raksanyi, whose property
they have become by inheritance.7—A thenceum.
DIFFUSION OF ARCHITECTURAL KNOWLEDGE.—Consider-
ing the value and importance of architecture, we have often
wondered that its great leading principles have not been made
a subject of study in our schools, and a means of mental
education. Some may not recognise the necessity or desirable-
ness of such study : some doubt its practicability. It would
be easy to show it is an acquirement affording largely that
very sort of training and discipline which it is the business of
schools to impart. The leading principles or laws of archi-
tecture may be laid down with all the precision which belongs
to science. He who, after learning them, has no occasion to
practise them, would still have acquired something which, if
it did not avail him as a divine, as a lawyer, or as a physician,
whichever he might be, would yet avail him as a man ; and it
would by no means 'hinder him from acquiring the specific
knowledge of his profession. All practical sciences, as arith-
metic, grammar, navigation,' and the like, are thus taught.
The teacher- might consult to great advantage Professor
Donaldson's " Maxims of Architecture, Theoretical and Prac-
tical ;" Rickman's " Attempt to discriminate the different
Styles ;" Durand's " Parallele d'Architecture," and com-
parative views of celebrated edifices. Such works would form
the public taste. Sums of money ought tp be granted by
Government for having them at all the free libraries and
institutions throughout the country.—The Builder.

THE TIMBER ROBBERIES.
AT the Sessions, on Friday, Wm. Bibby, Geo. Codling, Geo.
Lythgoe, and Jas. Jackson were indicted in eight counts for
stealing 150 pieces of timber, the property of Messrs. Hough-
ton and Smith, and 58, the property of Messrs. A. Dempsey
and Co. On the 16th of May, Lythgoe and Bibby called at
the stables of Enoch Tarbet, cartowner, and requested two
carts to be sent early to the Huskisson Dock. The carts Were
sent, and on the quay they were met by Bibby, Lythgoe, and
Jackson. The carts were loaded with timber from the pile of
Messrs. Houghton and Smith, and conveyed to Windsor, to
some buildings in the course of erection by Mr. Rees. The
prisoner Codling received the timber, and had some difference
about a portion of it with Mr. Rees. On the 19th of the same
month, the same two carters carted two loads of timber at
the same place, some of it from Messrs. Dempsey and Co.'s
pile. They were followed by two police-officers, who saw the
timber delivered at Windsor, and then took the prisoners into
custody. The total value of the timber stolen on these occa-
sions was £26. Mr. Rees said that he bad had six loads of
timber since March from the prisoner. Codling. All the pri-
soners were found guilty on this count.
John Owens, John Allen, and Joseph Cullen were also
found guilty on the same day of stealing a quantity of deals,
the property of Messrs. Farnworth and Jardine, which they
sold to a builder, named John Jabez Creer, for £8 10s., on the
26th of April. •
John 0-wens and Richard Cnlshaw, charged with stealing
two standard of deals, the property of Messrs. Anthony and
Robinson, wereacquitted.
The further indictments against the prisoners were pro-
ceeded with on Saturday. Each case presented the same
feature. The depredators had taken their loads openly from
the piles lying on the Huskisson Dock quay, and disposed of
the property to unsuspecting builders and carters, wha seem
to have acted in the various transactions in a perfectly regular
and business manner.
John Owens was indicted for stealing one hundred pieces
of timber, the property of John Farnworth and another.
Verdict, guilty. A previous conviction for felony was formally
proved against the prisoner. Sentence to ten years' penal
servitude. _ _
Yesterday, the Recorder sat for the purpose of sentencing
the convicted prisoners. John Allen was ordered to undergo
two years' imprisonment on one conviction, and one year on
another ; and George Codling the same ; William Bibby two
years imprisonment ; Joseph Cullen two years' ; Lythgoe
nine months' ; and Jackeon eight months' imprisonment.
BARQUE CAPSIZED AND SUNK IN
THE RIVER.
ABOUT half-past two o'clock on Friday afternoon, the
Retriever, an iron barque, built lately at Warrington by the
Bank-quay Foundry Company, was taken out of the Sandon
Dock to be placed in the Prince's Dock. The Retriever was
in tow of the British Queen, (tug,) and, on leaving the Sandon
Basin, she was taken in a direction nearly across the river.
On turning round to go up towards the Prince's Dock, she
was struck by a wind, and capsized, and the sailors and others
on board were precipitated into the water, one being drowned.
The vessel was being towed round the stern of the James
Baines, to come into the George's Basin, and when broadside
on a heavy squall came, and she heeled over so much that the
ballast (upwards of sixty tons) shifted, and fourteen persons
including the captain, riggers, painters, two boys, and a pilot,
were thrown into the river. By the aid of the steam-tug and
boats they were picked up as soon as possible, though one man,
a rigger, was drowned, and another man was severely hurt.
The pilot was severely injured. Before leaving the Sandon
Dock the ship had, as is usual in such cases, been made as
snug as possible with regard to the rigging ; and the accident
is attributed to the wind acting upon her at the top, and the
tide at the bottom in opposite directions. The Retriever is
owned by Messrs. Leech, Harrison, and Forwood.
THE INQUEST.
Yesterday, an inquest was held on the body of Thomas
Beattie, the deceased, before Mr. Statham, the deputy coroner.
Mr. Aspinall, barrister, appeared for the owners of the vessel.
There were several shipbuilders, Captain Cook, the Superin-
tendent of Pilots (who was asked by the coroner to question
the witnesses), and other practical men in court. The first
witness called was
Wm. Bennett, rigger.—He said : I was on board the barque
Retriever on Friday. Went on board at the Sandon Dock.
We got some chain cable up froth below. She was to be re-
moved from the Sandon to the Prince's Dock, and was brought
out of the former for that purpose. She was taken in tow of a
steamer at the Sandon Dock-gate. and was taken up the river.
She was taken towards the Cheshire side to prevent her run-
ning against other vessels. When nearly abreast of the land-
ing stage the barque was capsized. It was intended to slew
her round, so soon as the steamer could be got to work, in
order to get to the Prince's Dock. When she came across
the tide, the wind made ber lay over. The fang of the
main gaff was carried away- The captain called one of the
riggers to tome aft, and I went. She then gave a heavy lurch,
and I could not keep my foot-hold as the vessel capsized. I
was thrown on the lee side into the water, along with another
man, who was not the deceased. I afterwards got on to the
bottom of the vessel, and from that saw deceased in the water,
and, as I think, the mate alongside of him. Deceased's face
was partially turned downwards. I knew him. His name was
Thomas Beattie; he was a rigger, and about fifty years old.
A man took the deceased by the back of the neck and got him
out of the water. I had been on board the Retriever for the
first time on Tuesday, the 31st ult. She had no cargo on
board. She was a new iron vessel, and had never been to sea.
There was ballast under the square of the main hatch, but I
only saw it from the deck, as I never was below. I do not
vea.- the ballast was counned amidships, or whether
it extended fore and aft I saw deceased in the dead-house.
Captain Henry Heron, who lives at Waterloo, said he su-
perintended the building of the vessel at the Bank Quay
Foundry, Warrington, and came down the river with her. She
had no masts in her then. She had 15 tons of ballast on
board, in the main hatchway. Thought that was in the month
of May. She was taken to the Sandon Dock, and had lain
there ever since with the exception of being in the Graving
Dock fitting out Her masts had been in her two
months. On Friday she was to go into the Prince's Dock.
He was on board of her. She was towed by the steamer Bri-
tish Queen. The ballast from Warrington was pig iron.
That was removed after the stone ballast was put in. She had
25 tons of stone ballast put in soon after she came down. It
was put under the main hatchway. It was moved more for-
ward in the vessel for the surveyors, and then moved aft again,
and twelve tons more put on board. That was all the ballast
she had on board on Friday. It was lying from the mainmast
forward in the hold, throughout the great body of the ship.
There were also three anchors, weighing 33 cwt. in all, four
iron davits 18 cwt., which were far too heavy for the vessel,
lying at the bottom of the vessel, the same as the anchors.
There was also a quantity of chains, cordage, spar gear,
spars, and deck moveables, weighing altogether upwards of
65 tons. With the exception of the spars, which were in the
'tween decks, these were all below. The vessel was towed up
towards the Seacombe Ferry. In turning round to face the
George's Dock, the steamer being ahead of her still, she heeled
over, and the tide being flood and the wind south-west, and a
very heavy squall at the time, the hawser of the steamer
pulling her the one way, whilst the tide caught her bottom,
she heeled over so much that it caused the ballast to move.
She capsized and shortly sunk. Her new measurement was
404 tons. She had never been at sea. Her topgallant masts
were down. She was not entirely round when she fell. Her
masts fell to the north, even with the wind.
By Captain Cook : The first 25 tons of ballast were levelled
over the hold, the other 12 tons were pretty well spread, but
more admidships than the other. The kelson is twelve inches
high from the plates of the vessel. The ballast was con-
siderably above the kelson,—about a foot and a half. The
anchors were placed under the fore hatchway, down by the
kelsou. The last of the ballast was taken on board' six weeks
or two months ago. The anchors were put below when taken
on board about six weeks ago. The ship did not exhibit any
particular symptoms of being crank in dock on the Thursday.
She had three boats on deck. Her depth of hold is 16 feet.
She is not a flat-bottomed ship. She is rather of a barrel-
bottomed tendency. Witness should think barrel-bottomed
ships would be rather crank. She is a flush ship. The boats
were the only weight on deck. There were two bower
anchors forward with cables bent to both ; one was hung •
over the bow, the other was on the forcastle.
By Mr. Aspivall: The ballast does not lie lower in an iron
than in a wooden ship, according to his experience. When
he took the ship-out of dock he believed there was sufficient
ballast in her to stiffen her. He had been very careful with
her all along. The mate was on board, and the mate of the
Lightning. There was a crew of riggers. Every thing was
done properly, and to the best of his ability, to secure the
safety of the vessel.
%
By a Juror : Could not say whether an iron ship or a wooden
one requires more ballast. Should think an iron one would
be lighter on the water than a wooden one. She was drawing
on Friday 9 feet aft and 81 feet forward.
By the Deputy-Coroner : She was about 12 feet above
the water to the top of the rail.
William Steel, mate of the ship Retriever, deposed that he
was appointed on Monday week. He had been on board on
the Friday preceding. Had been at sea eight years, and
twelve months as mate. Had been on board the ship every
day since Monday. Observed the position of the ballast, the
anchors below, the davits, and the coals. The ballast was
stowed over the body of the vessel, from the main hatch for-
ward ; a little more amidships than the other part, but not
out of proportion to the shape of the vessel. He was on board
on Friday morning before the vessel went into the river.
About twelve on that day he was passing a joke with some of
the riggers. He asked them if they could swim. His reason
for asking that question was nothing particular—only a joke
From what he saw of the ballast and other things on board,
he considered the vessel in a perfectly fit state to be taken out
of dock. Did not make use of the words to the riggers—
" Your powers of swimming will be tested when you get out
of dock '
By Mr. Aspinall : Was in another iron ship which capsized.
The mate of the Lightning was a friend of his. He should
have objected going out of dock with her if he had thought
there was the slightest danger, as he could not swim. Instead
of objecting, he asked his friend to go too. (Laughter.)
James Fisher, one of the riggers on board at the time of
the accident, deposed that be lived in Kew-street. He went
on board about twelve o'clock. Saw that a little more of the
ballast was stowed amidships than in the rest of the hold.
Had been twenty-five years at sea. Considered the vessel in
a safe state when going out of dock. Did not think she would
e .
not seem to roll much

when
By Mr. Aspinall : It was blowing pretty strong.
By Captain Cook : Everything was made snug aloft on
Monday. The topsail yards were about half-mast.
ShadrachWilliams, Sandon Dock-master, remembered seeing
the Retriever going out into the river on Friday last. Noticed
her in the river as far as he could see her. It was blowing

fresh from W.S.W., with a strong flood tide. Had never
been on board the vessel. She appeared to take very little
list after she had got out of the basin into the tide-way. Had
heard the evidence of Captain Heron, and was of opinion that
she was in a quite safe state with the ballast and other things
she had on board, to be removed into the river in that state of
wind and tide. He did not consider her crank.
This concluded the evidence, and the jury at once returned
a verdict of " accidental death."

Mason, near Dudley, was hanged in front of the county gaol

HOUSEHOLD ECONOMY.
LEMON CHEESE-CAKES, TO KEEE.—One pound of loaf
sugar pounded, two lemons grated, and the juice strained,
quarter of a pound of butter, six eggs—leaving out two whites.
Let it simmer over the fire till it is as thick as honey : when
cold put it in a jar, tied down with paper, and it will keep
good a month.
SALT SOUR CIIIMNEYS.—In building chimneys, put a
quantity of salt into the mortar with which the intercourse of
bricks are to be laid, and the effect will'be that there will
never be any accumulation of soot in that chimney. The phi-
losophy is thus stated: the salt, in the portion of mortar which
is exposed, absorbs mortar every damp day ; the soot thus
becoming damp falls down to the fire-place. [Very agreeable!]
—A late American publication.
A VERY EXCELLENT AND CHEAP CAKE.—Two pounds and
a-half of flour, three-quarters of a pound of sugar, three-
quarters of a pound of butter, half a pound of currants, or a
quarter of a pound of raisins, quarter of a pound of orange
peel, two ounces of caraway seeds, half an ounce of ground
cinnamon, or ginger, four teaspoonfuls of carbonate of soda ;
mixed well, with rather better than a pint of new milk. The
butter must be well melted previous to being mixed with the
ingredients.
EPICUREAN SAUCE.—lndian soy, two ounces, walnut and
mushroom catsup, of each eight ounces ; port wine, two
ounces ; white pepper, bruised, half an ounce ; eschalots, three
ounces; cayenne, a quarter of an ounce ; cloves, half an ounce.
Macerate for fourteen days in a warm place ; strain, and add
sufficient white wine vinegar to make exactly one pint.
The above forms a piquant sauce for chops, steaks, &c. For
fish, a little essence of anchovy, and an additional quantity of
vinegar, should be added. • •
ECONOMICAL Dism—Cut some rather fat ham or bacon
into slices, and fry of a nice brown ; lay them aside to keep
warm : then mix equal quantities of potatoes and cabbages
bruised well together, and fry them in the fat left from the
ham. Place the mixture at the bottom, and lay the slices of
bacon on the top. Cauliflower, or broccoli, substituted for cab-
bage, is delicious, and, to any one possessing a garden, quite
easily procured—as those newly-blown will do. The dish
must be well seasoned with pepper.
WHITEWASH FOE OUTHOUSES, FENCES, &c.—Take a barrel
that will hold water; put in half a bushel of quick lime;
slack it with boiling water sufficient to cover it four or five
inches deep, and stir it until slacked. When slacked, dissolve
in water and add two pounds of sulphate of zinc, and one of
common salt, which is to be applied as the ordinary white!
wash, and with same brushes. In a few days it will harden
on the wood-work. To make it of a cream-colour, add three
pounds of yellow ochre : for fawn colour, four pounds of umber,
one pound of Indian red, and one pound of lampblack.
To MAKE RAISED PlES.—Take a pound-and-a-half of the
best lard, three-quarters of a pint of new milk ; boil them
together, stir the boiling mixture , into four pounds of flour ;
knead the paste well, and set it down to the fire twenty
minutes before using. To raise the crust of a pie, you must
take the paste warm, roll it out, and mould it (a decanter will
do in default of a proper one ;) when cold, take it off, and fill
it with pork and veal, which must be cut about the size of
dice, seasoned with white pepper, salt, and a little dried sage ;
put on the tops, and to make glossy, smear with the white of
an egg. Oak leaves cut out of the paste and laid round the
pie, to form a wreath and au acorn in the centre, will be found
very ornamental.

expressly for the purchase of pictures ; and that it will not be
necessary to expend the grant in each particular year, but
that it may be formed into a cumulative fund, out of which
considerable collections may occasionally be purchased, as
opportunity offers. This condition, however, is one which
will require to be narrowly watched. Misplaced partiality,
whim, or individual influence, may be so readily brought to
bear mile, expenditure of such a fund, that zealous watch-
fulness alone can secure its satisfactory outlay. By one
portion of the new arrangements Sir CHARLES EASTLAKE has
been appointed director, with authority, independent of and
paramount to that of the trustees, as to the purchase of any
picture or collection. The director, in terms of his appoint-
ment, is required to lay an annual report before Parliament,
so that the affairs and condition of the National Gallery will
be brought yearly under supervision of the House of Cora-
mons. A new museum of science and art is to be built near
the, site of the old Crystal Palace, at the national cost, aided
by the surplus fund derived from the Great Exhibition of
1851. When completed, the museum will be open to the
public gratuitously.
The poetical department of the literary world has been
agitated, convulsed, distracted, within the last few days, for
the fortieth or fiftieth time within a year or two. The POET
LAUREATE has issued "a great poem," is the breathless ex.
clamation of one set of enthusiasts ; TENNYSON has pub-
lished his " Maud, and other poems," is the quiet remark of
another. It is glorious, rich, glowing, extatic, says one ; it is
beautiful, chaste, and stately, says another. Within the last
few years so many thefts and spurious snatches have been
made of APOLLO'S fire, that the announcement of a new
claimant for poetic fame is met with an ominous shake of the
bead by the sagacious—the doubt implied being magnified
in its portent in proportion to the brazen sounds which have
been made to herald the candidate's approach. What between
BIGGS, SMITHS, and BAILEYS, and their noisy trumpeters,
the poetic circle has been kept in a perfect uproar for years
past, and a modest minstrel who should rely upon his merits
is rudely hustled out of the arena. In the midst of the' chaos
so created, it is refreshing, as well as inspiriting, to meet with
a song in which nature is allowed to wfrlk on the earth, wan-
dering among meadows, and flowers, and woods, and associated
with well-conditioned human beings, instead of being whisked
away into the region of broken suns, stray planets, and lunatic'
stars, holding converse with misanthropic angels and saints of
more than doubtful purity. TENNYSON'S song is full of
healthy feeling, and is in fine contrast to the spasmodic verse
so admirably and felicitously ridiculed in Firmilian.

FRIDAY.
The Speaker took the chair at twelve o'clock.
Mr. FITZROY brought up the report of the committee of
supply.
Sir F. BARING called attention to the minute of the Trea-
sury, dated February 23rd, 1855, granting retired allowances
to certain Irish Poor-law inspectors.—A lengthened discussion
ensued, in the course of which Mr. WILSON justified the mi-
nute, and said that the allowances referred to were granted
after due consideration by the Treasury.
The Lunatic Asylums (Ireland) (Advances) Bill, the Navi-
gation Works (Ireland) Bill, the Public Health Act (1851)
Amendment Bill, the Diseases Prevention Bill, and the Ord-
nance Amendment Bill passed through committee.
TIIE BALTIC FLEET.-Mr. M`MertoN wished to put a ques-
tion in reference to the mode of carrying on the war in the
Baltic. Admiral Dundas had issued a proclamation at the end
of May or beginning of June, stating that he had instructions
to capture all the vessels carrying on trade in the Gulf of Fin-
land, being Russian property, and to destroy all small ones
not worth sending home. He wished to know whether the
Admirals had power to destroy vessels that had not been con-
demned by a tribunal appointed for the purpose. He wished
also to ask whether any communication had been received
from the United States in accordance with the statement in
the President's Message that the States were about to submit
to the Governments of Europe on the principle that free ships
make free goods.—Sir C. WOOD said he could give no infor-
mation on the subject of the last question. With regard to
the other question, the instructions sent to Admiral Dundas
were in accordance with the ordinary practice, to take, burn,
or destroy; in fact, to put a stop to the trade of the enemy in
every possible way.
0 lonel NORTH inquired whether soldiers in uniform were
excluded from the gallery of the house.—The SPEAKER, who
said there was no rule to that effect, and he did not see why,
if un armed, they should be excluded, though there had been
an understanding that soldiers should appear in the gallery
oaly in.plain clothes.

THE FAMILY EnucANcat might be thought a more appro-
priate title for JOHN CASSELL'S new work, than "THE CHILD'S
EDUCATOR ;" for there is not a member of a family, from the
aged parent to the youngest child, but will find in it entertain-
ment, information, and instruction, in their most interesting and
attractive forms. The lessons in BOTANY, while truly scientific,
are clear and simple and highly entertaining. Mrs. H. Beecher
Stowe's Lessons in GEOGRAPHY will afford amusement to the
younger branches of a family, and advance their practical know-
ledge of that important science. '1 he wonders of creation, as re-
vealed by the MICROSCOPE, will afford abundant entertainment
combined with information. As for ARITHMIITIC, a most novel
and attractive mode of teaching that science is adopted, namely,
that of pictorial representations, thus alluring the inftwt pupil
into the study of figures. 1-lustAN AriaToNty, PHYSIOLOGY. and
HEALTH, NATURAL HISTORY, ASTRONOMY, COMMON THINGS,
together with lessons on English and French, form, a combination
rendering "The Child's Educator" one of the Most important
works of the age. It will be completed in Twelve Monthly Parts,
each abundantly illustrated with beautiful Engravings. Part the
First is now ready, price Sixpence. London: Published for

SUPPLEMENT TO THE LIVERPOOL. STANDARD.
Prophet, being under any pretence permitted to visit
the sacred city in which his remains are deposited.
To enable him to effect the visit he had in view, Lieut.
Burton assumed the character of a Moslem pilgrim,
and. in that disguise traversed a great portion of
Aribia. in doing this, he laid himself open to great
hazard, as detection of the imposture would, in all pro-
bability, have proved fatal to him. To secure the
'requisite familiarity with the minutiae of oriental life
and'imanners, he studied hard and with much success
for upwards of a month at Alexandria, where he passed
himself for a dervish ; from this latter city he started
for ',Cairo, paying still further attention to perfecting
hiMself in oriental manners and accomplishments.
Once rendered cut fait to his disguise, he adopted the
external symbols of pilgrimage, and proceeded on his
journey. At an early period of his wanderings, we
find' him thus describing his
Roman churches. It has four gates : that to the south is- the
Bab el Muwajihah; eastward is the gate of our Lady Fatimah ;
westward the Bab el Tanbah (of repentance), opening into the
Rauzah or garden; and to the north, the Bab el Shami or '
Syrian gate. They are constantly kept closed, except the
fourth, which admits, into the dark passage above alludedlto,,
the officers who have charge of the treasures there deposited,
and the eunuchs who sweep the floor, light the lamps, and
carry away the presents sometimes thrown in here by devotees.
In the southern side of the fence are three windows, holes
about half a foot square, and placed from four to five feet
above the ground; they are said to be between three and four
cubits distant from the prophet's head. The most westerly of
these is supposed to front Mohammed's tomb, wherefore it is
called the Shubak el Nabi, or the Prophet's window. The
next, on the right, as you front it, is Abubekr's, and, the most
easterly of the three is Omar's. Above the Hujrah. is the
Green Dome, surmounted outside by a large gilt crescent
springing from a series of globes. The glowing imaginations
of the Moslems crown this gem of the building with a pillar
of heavenly light, which directs from three days' distance the
pilgrim's steps towards El-Medinah. But alas ! none save
holy men (and perhaps, odylic sensitives), whose material
organs are piercing as their vision is spiritual, are alloUredithe
privilege of beholding this poetic splendour.
- -
Two volumes only of these interesting wanderings
have as yet been published. The third and concluding
one is promised in course of the present autumn ;. it is
to be devoted to a delineation of the wonders. of Meccah.
The narrative of Mr. Burton is lively and light, with-
out being either frivolous or flippant. He proves
himself at once a sharp and shrewed observer,, and a
cunning annotator. His book will be read with interest
and pleasure by all who desire information regarding
the Mahomedan pilgrimage, or who take delight in a
well-written narrative of personal adventure..
Familiar Words as affecting the Character of
Englishmen and the Fate of England. By David
Urquhart. London : Trubner and Co.
The small publication of which the preceding is the
title is an odd, and many people may consider a
fantastical one. Its object seems to be an attempt
to fix the value and nature of thi gs, and to
regulate institutions and control events by a
reference to the etymologies of words ; some
of which etymologies, in Mr. Urquhart's view of
them, are whimsical enough. Most of ordinary
thinkers have been led to believe that the thing
signified was of more consequence than the word
signifying it, and have acted in accordance with that
belief; the views and intentions of Mr. Urquhart take
quite an opposite course. His faith is built on the
signifying word, and displays but small sympathy with
the matter signified. He, with some pains and much
earnestness, informs his wondering countrymen that,
as " relimion " comes from the Latin verb " to bind,
it signifies the binding of man through his faith to
his duties—not in all cases to all duties, but to those
" that in modern English language are political."
Havinc, so far secured his footing through the etymo-
logical quagmire, by resting on this definition, he
places his next step in Athens, when he discovers that
in Greece, whence we derive the word, " politics signi-
fied the knowledge of what was proper and fitting
that the state should be." Having arranged his
definitions, Mr. Urquhart proceeds to draw conclusions
from them, which, without the application of some
such violent process, assuredly would not follow. He
not only defines mystically, but he also abjurgates with
nearly as mysterious a fierceness. He pours out his
condemnation on the division of labour, and is eloquent
in denouncing the distinction of separate interests.
"To subdivide a man," he tells us, "is to execute
him, if he deserves the sentence—to assassinate him
if he does not. The subdivision of labour is the
assassination of a people." To divide a man into the
separate limbs and portions of which his physical form
consists, would, without doubt, end in his physical
destruction ; but few, it is to be hoped, will so far
forget the relation between fact and fiction as to believe
that a community can suffer "execution" or " assassi-
nation " by having each of its members employed in
the discharge of those duties which he or she is best
qualified to perform. With such theorists as Mr.
Urquhart, the first step in the way of realising their
views is to effect a divorce between abstruse definition
and facts as they exist ; having established this, their
course is open and easy, till they are finally landed
inextricably in a quagmire of their own creation.

Edgar ; this she declined. She had not, she said,
for many weeks seen him, except in the presence of a
third person ; but she promised me that, in honour
of my arrival, she would dine at the table that day.
It was a formal and melancholy dinner, and Mr.
Chambers, who made the fourth of our little party,
was the only unembarrassed person among us. Lady
Falkland quitted us soon after dinner. Mr. Chambers
and I joined her in the drawing-room, but Sir Edgar
had retired to his study. Lady Falkland was sad and
silent ; in fact, the whole room presented' a dreary
appearance ; her harp and pianoforte were in packing-
cases ready for removal ; a table near the window,
which used to be covered with engravings, books in
gay bindings, and a splendid album, was now diSpoiled
of all its ornaments ;-her writing-desk and work-box
were not in their accustomed places,' and a beautiful
portrait of herself, taken before her marriage, was
removed. •
" Mr. Chambers retired early. I made one more
attempt to work on the feelings of Lady Falkland. I
even appealed to the weakness of her character, by
endeavouring to represent to her the consequence and
responsibility of the situation she was deserting, and
the insignificant station in society held by a separated
wife; but Lady Falkland wa's not worldly or ambi-
tious, she was only vain and exacting ; she persevered
in her resolution, and I sorrowfully bade her good
night. All that now remained in my power was
fervently to entreat the heavenly Disposer of events,
in my prayers, to have pity on these poor deluded
young people, to change their proud hearts, to bow
their headstrong spirits, and to lead them at some
future time again to find comfort and happiness in
each other. I remained wrapt in thought for about
an hour, looking with dread to the events of the
morrow, and at length fell asleep.
" I awoke again; it was still dark, and I was im-
mediately sensible of a decided smell of fire. I was
thoroughly alarmed; several fires had lately taken
place in that neighbourhood, which were supposed to
be the work of a man of low character and habits, who
had rendered himself offensive to many of the sur-
rounding families ; and this man, the garrulous old
steward had informed me on the preceding day, had
been threatened by Sir Edgar with a prosecution for
poaching, and had been heard to vow that he would be
revenged on him. I instantly aroused Sir Edgar; we
gave the alarm to the servants, and finding that the
fire had only reached a part of the building, and that
we had plenty of time for our operations, I dismissed
some of them to the neighbouring farm-houses for
assistance, and employed others to rescue whatever was
most valuable and important from the flames.
" First of all, however, I spoke to Lady Falkland's
own maid, telling her to awaken her lady gently and
quietly, to explain to her that the flames were yet far
from the part of the house where she slept ; and,
having assisted her to dress, to conduct her to a large
covered summer-house at the bottom of the garden,
where I desired all the females of the family to assem-
ble for the present. Sir Edgar and I were actively
employed for some time in directing the labours of the
servants, who removed many articles from the house;.
at length the flames spread with such rapidity that we
were compelled to desist, and I walked down to the
summer-house to console and re-assure Lady Falk-
land. Imagine my surprise at discovering that she
was not there. Her maid informed me that on enter-
ing her room she found it vacant, her bed had not
been slept on, nor were any of her clothes to be disco-
vered; it was evident that she had been awake and
sitting up at the time of the alarm, and had provided
for her own safety by flight.
"I must say that I felt more angry with Lady Falk-
land than terrified about her, for I supposed that, un-
willing to identify herself with the interests of her
household, or to run the risk of any communication
with the husband she was about to leave, she had
sought a refuge in one of the farm-houses in the
vicinity. I thought it right, however, to inform Sir
Edgar of her absence, and was returning to the front
of the house with that intention, when I was startled
by a piercing shriek from Lady Falkland's maid, who
followed me. I looked up in the direction to which
she pointed, and at the window of a little apartment
above the drawing-room, what was my horror tobehold
Lady Falkland making despairing signs for assistance !
This little room had been a great favourite with Sir
Edgar and herself during the early months after their
marriage, on account of the extensive prospect it com-

THE APPROACHING HOLIDAYS.
ON Friday, the Appropriation Bill, which is usually
considered the final measure of the session, was
brought in and read a first time in the House of Com-
mons. The Ministerial Fish Dinner, which is one of
the sessional usages, rarely, if ever, omitted, will take
place to-morrow ; and on Saturday Parliament will be
prorogued, unless any unforeseen event should render
necessary its postponement till the following Monday.
It is useless to reiterate complaints of that reckless
waste of time which has characterised the closing ses-
sion. Even on Friday last, eight hours were occupied
in discussing a senseless motion about the negotiations
at Vienna, which resulted, as it might have been ex-
pected to result, in nothing but an adjournment at
nearly two o'clock in the morning. The most import-
ant measure of the session will be the Appropriation
Bill, by which upwards of eighty-six millions has been
voted to the service of the Crown ; and when this is
presented, at the prorogation, for the Royal Assent, it
will tell the tale most forcibly of the expensiveness of
the war, and the utter inability of the Commons of
England to turn their attention to any other business.
The members of Parliament will be released from their
arduous duties to tell their constituents of the labours
they have undergone in prolonged sittings throughout
the night ; and, if any evidence be wanted of the atten-
tion which they have besto.wed on the public service,
they may refer to the long speeches which have filled
the columns of the daily papers.

SOYER'S AROMATIC MUSTARD.
The world-wide renown obtained by the above esteemed Condi•
ments, having fostered the production of several imitations in
which the Jars and Labels are most accurately copied (but- not
so the contents), M. SOYER deems it his duty to caution the
public in every instance to carefully examine the labels before
purchasing. The genuine articles are sold wholesale by Messrs.
CROSSE and BLACKWELL, 21, Solio.square, and Families may
be certain of obtaining them by ordering of their Grocer or
Italian Warehouseman.
M. SOYER is proud to say the Lancer, in its recent sanitary
analysation of articles of food, gave a highly favourable report of
his Sauces, which are prepared from thoroughly wholesome in-
gredients. The Sauce Succulente is of two kinds, but both alike
in character, and of equal excellence. One made expressly for
ladies is very mild, and the other for gentlemen is of a much
warmer flavour.
Of SOYEWS RELISH the Observer says:—" M. Soyer is a culi-
nary artist as profound as he is versatile, nothing comes amiss to
him. No foreign cuisinier ever tickled the Saxon palate so suc-
cessfully. He is a great man, and the ill-cooked mutton chops
that lost Napoleon the battle of Leipsic would have produced a
very different effect if Soyer had dished them up from his Magic
Stove,' and rendered them thoroughly light and digestible by his
appetising `Relish."'

COMPASSES OF IRON SHIPS.
Tay following letters, bearing testimony to the great value
of the apparatus invented by Mr. Jolm Gray, of this town,
appeared in the Examiner of Saturday last :
The Priory, Battersea; July 30, 1855.
Sra,—lt being a well-known fact that matters interesting to
navigation are better handled, and, as a sequitur, better
understood by the `Examiner' than by the press generally, I
feel no kind of hesitation in asking space for a letter on the
adjustment of the compasses of iron ships, nothing doubting
you will feel it to be a subject worthy of serious consideration,
and worthy of a place in your columns.
Mr. John Gray, Nautical Instrument-maker, of Liverpool,
has patented au apparatus for the adjustment of iron ships'
compasses, at sea, or in harbour ; and the principle of its
construction is so simple and effective that it has obtained a
very high compliment from the Astronomer-Royal, a copy of
whose letter I enclose. To bring before the world the means
of navigating our iron ships with accuracy, more particularly
after the calamitous occurrences so often associated with the
deviation of the compasses, is a praiseworthy effort on the
part of Mr. Gray, and one that cannot be too highly applauded.
The apparatus consists of a cradle containing the necessary
complement of magnets moving vertically in a horizontal plane
in the binnacle, or horizontally in a frame on the deck ceiling
house, &c., and connected with which is a rack and pinion
holding a vertical magnet to correct any disturbance arising
from the inclination of the ship.
The code of instructions, which I have examined, is of so
simple a character that it is a matter of surprise that it should
not have been suggested before.
All that appears to be required from the captain, after the
binnacle is placed in its position and the compass adjusted by
the party appointed, is taplace the ship'shead in two positions,
and the compasses are made perfect, whatever may be the
amount of disturbance.
I have so often witnessed the pains taken by Mr. Gray in
adjusting the Great Britain's and other iron ships' compasses,
that I am full of belief in the correctness of his last discovery,
—at any rate, as its correctness may be ascertained before
ships proceed to sea, I trust you will agree with me that there
need be no hesitation in recommending it to notice.
Yours, &c., CHRIST. CLACTON..
Royal Observatory, Greenwich, June 19, 18-56.
SIII, —nave examined yourbinnacle, which contains arrange-
ments for adjusting the magnets, and which contains also
proper provision for' the mounting of:,the unmagnetised iron,
usually required for complete correction of the' compass; and
I hare to state to you, that it is entirely satisfactory to me;
The principles of its construction are perfectly correct, and
the application of the adjusting power is- easy. With very
moderate care on the part of the captain, the compass may be
made accurate in ahy part of the world.
You are at liberty to state this publicly, if you think fit to
do so. I am, &c. G. B. AIRY.
Mr. John Gray.
THE ROYAL INSURANCE COI4:I3.ANY.-
ANNUAL MEETING.
Os' Friday, the shareholders in this company held their
annual general meeting, in the board-room of theireaffices, in
North John-street. Ten years froth the establishment of the
company had, at its origin, been fixed by the actuary as the
earliest period at which an investigation ought to be made
into the business of the life assurance department, with a
view to declaring a dividend ; and that period of probation
having expired; the meeting on Friday last was looked on by
all concerned as-one of unusual importance. The result of the
decennial experiment has been most satisfactory,the investiga-
tion proving, as• was clearly demonstrated in the report sub-
mitted by the manager and actuary, Mr.-Percy M. Dove, that
the society's business in that departmenthas been most sue-
cessful, placing both the shareholders and the policyholders in
a highly advantageous position. From- this branch of the
business alone the-proprietors will have an addition to their
dividend of aper cent., making,with the ordinary dividend from
general profit and loss account, in all 13e1- per cent. upon the
original paid up capital ; and the assured will receive a bonus
of £2 per cent. in respect of each participating policy issued,
prior to the Ist of January, 1853, for every complete year that
such policy has been.• in force. This, as was pointed out at
the meeting, constitutes an addition of 18 per cent. on the
amount of every existing policy since 1845 i the first year of
the company's existence. A result like this, naupled with the
fact that the investigation and recommendation were both
conducted with a most scrupulous eye to accuracy and to the
future security of the company and the assured, gives ground
for congratulating all parties on the success of the under-
taking. The directors seem specially entitled to the thanks of
the proprietors and the- policyholders, and in a particular
manner are those thanks- due to Mr. P. M. Deere, the active
and intelligent manager and actuary of the company, to whose
prudence and forethought must, in no small degree, be attri-
buted- the marked success of the company.
The meeting- was numerously attended by gentlemen of
commercial rank and influence ; Charles Turner Esq., chair-
man of the company, presiding. Among the other gentlemen
present were—Samuel Holtne, R. E. Harvey, Ralph. Brockle-
bank, T. D. Hornby, G. H; Horsfall, John Torr, Thos. Bouch,
Richard. Houghton, Danid Lamb, Joseph Cooper, W. G.
Leete, Robert Wynne, Robert Rockliffe, J. 13‘ Brancker, G.
E. Taunton, P. R. M`Quie, Thos. Addison, Wm. Newton,
David Cannon, Wm. Smith, E. Johnston, H. J. Webster,
Jas. Hanle, Michael Belcher, R. L. Jones, Wm. Titherington,
Esqrs.
Mr. PEncy M. DovE read. the annual report, from which it
arnrrnC-a-iliaiittgfiamDims_rec!lyel. for the firs year's
i
to a sum not far short of £30,000, to which amountdrinee&-
pectedethey will nearly reach this year. The life revenue has
now, therefore, to make, progress for the future from the
starting point of this latter amount, in place of the trifling
sum which marked the commencement of the-period under
notice. The sum which the directors are enabled to carry off
from this branch for the use of the proprietors is shown to be
£7,819 15s. 6d. And with respect to the policies entitled to
participation, the result more than equals the highest ex-
pectation formed of it; believed that the announcement
of a bonus so large as &I:per cent. on the sum assured,for -
every,entire year a polio), with profits has been in existence;
which the directors recommend to be declared:in . accordance
with the counsel of the actuary's report, to which :they would
refer, for details, will lead ,to a very extensive-increase in life.
assurance business for the future. The expectation .expressed
in the very first report of the directors, in August, 1846, will
now. then, .it is believed, be immediately and fully verified,
viz:, "That the confidence of the public will be secured .by the
conviction that every life accepted by the directors will be
admitted among a class-of lives so carefullynelected, that the
largest amount of beaus to the assured_ may. fairly be-an-
ticipated."—ln the Fire Department, it was-observed that the
remarkable expansionswhich has been observed and commented
on at the annual meetings of the company, has hitherto had
no check. The increase in the amount of premiums-far the
year 1854 is upwards, of £16,000, whilst the balance to the
credit of profit and loss for that period; is £28,810 .lele, ex-
ceeding the amount: reported for any Sinatr period for the
last few years. The directors, it was said, have likewise the,
satisfaction of anneuncing that the American: business pre-
sents a very favourable aspect for the last six, months, the
balance at present standing to the credit of the • amount for
that period exceeding the debit balance of the preceding
twelve months. The losses in Great. Britain for. the same
time have, however, been very heavy, and,have pressed with
some severity cn many of the insurance establishments of the
country. Nothwithstanding the occurrence of these adverse
contingenciesethe balance to the credit of profit and loss for
the expired six months of the- present: year: may be esti-
mated, after deducting expenses, at £1.6,320 3s. 11d.
After naming the following directors, who,. en accordance
with the deed of settlement, retire by rotation, but who, by
the same deed, are eligible for re-election, van—Michael
Belcher, Esq. ; Thomas Borsch, Esq. ; George Henry Hors-
fall, Esq. ;:Richard Houghton, Eaq, ; Roger. Lyon Jones, Esq. ;
Robert McAndrew, Esq. ; J. Bramley-Mnore, Esq., M.P. ;-
William Smith, Esq. ' • Charles. Turner, Esq. ; all of whom were,
re-elected. The report went on to recommend that a dividend;
of 3s. and a bonus of 2s. 6d, pershare, both free of income-tax,
•
be declared. The report alto alludedte. the opportunities each,
of the shareholders may have in,preanneting the interests and;
extending the operations of the company, and by so doing
adding security to andenhancing, the value of their own. pro-
petty, remarking :—" The attainment of such a revenue• as
Oat of the Royal Insurance Company in its fire department,.
in the short period of ten years, is, it is believed, without
example in the history,of insurance companies. Those es-
tablishments which have in any way approached to it informer,
or in the present times, have• done so, in a great measure, by
amalgamation with other companies. The Royal, Insurance
Company, on the-contrary,. has acquired this revenueby its own
legitimate intluencealone, without any such adventitious aid."
The report of the actuary showed also a view of the Com-
pany's affairs, in a similar degree and manner, satisfactory. It
went minutely into the details of the Comparey,'s.business, and
showed that "The life department will be the future source of
fitsfaita,r profit

naitdersboidwst
oh!ilttoththee pragobsaabreilidtaylovf
ebge2nwel-
to those of airy oiiaer insurance sociav, whether proprie-
tary or-mutual, in the kingdom. This able report concluded
with the annexed observations :—" It may fairly be assumed,
then, that no life company will have ever presented its first
statement to the public with fairer grounds for anticipating
that the prudence of its management and the soundness of its
principles will give an impetus to its future progress. And
the result will, I anticipate, be shown in a permanent amount
of business corresponding to that just obtained by the many
admirable establishments of the same kind, which, by the ju-
dicious conduct of many years, have fixed themselves in the
confidence of society.
The CIIAIRMAN, in moving that the report be adopted and
printed, and circulated amongst the shareholders, embraced
the opportunity of congratulating the meeting, and the share-
holders generally, of the prosperous position which the com-
pany had attained, as manifested in the able and satisfactory
report which had been prepared and just read by the actuary.
He begged particularly to call attention to the fact that, in
estimating the value of this branch of the business, no portion
of the preliminary expenses had been carried over to future
years, to be charged to future savings. ( Hear, hear.) This
was, unfortunately, not common with companies commencing
a life business, yet, perhaps, in some instances it may be fairly
adopted ; but the actuary of this company thought it much the
safer and more proper course that the whole of those prelimi-
nary expenses should be borne by the year in which they were
incurred. ( Hear, hear.) He would ask them also to bear in
mind what is stated by the actuary, that, under his advice, the
directors have determined not to carry anything to the credit
of profit and loss in the annuity branch of the life department.
( Hear, hear.) The actuary has advised them—and they agree
with him in opinion--that the term of years which that branch
has been in existence has not been sufficient to make it desir-
able that they should do so, although the condition of that por-
tion of the business was highly satisfactory.—Gentlemen, con-
tinued he, it is a most satisfactory state of things ; and the
more gratifying that it has been brought about, not by throw-
ing over any portion of the preliminary expenses, to be pro-
vided for in future years, but by estimating, in the safe and
cautious manner which has been described, full value of
the business. (Hear, hear.) The safe business of the Royal
Insurance Company presents itself in a most favourable view

A GENTLEMAN 'AT SOUTHPORT,VhO has an abhorrence of
the " gipsy hat," so fashionable ainengst ladies just at present,
having in vain tried to persuade 'his fair acquaintances to
abandon them, has adopted a stratagem, by which he pro-
poses to carry out his views. Helas bought tip all the hats
-of the description alluded to, Which Southport can supply,
sand distributed-them to the humble damsels of "the place, and
servants, dorilsey-drivers, fishwomen, and milkmaids rival
" the ladies" in the fashion of their head dress.

THE POLTIMORE MINING COMPANY.—A copper mine in
Devon, known as the Toltimore mine, was lately sold to Mr.
Brocklebank, of this town, for £2,600, and the shareholders
having reason to believe that the sale was grossly mismanaged,
and that the mine was fully worth £5OOO, met at the Stork
Hotel, on Thursday, when a deputation was appointed to
confer with Mr. Brocklebank on the matter. Mr. Brockle-
bank, however, refused to have anything to do,with them.
The-shareholders then passed a series of resolutions, one being
to the effect---" That, under the circumstances, the share-
holders do not recommend that the alleged public -sale should
be confirmed by the committee, and they now authorise the
committee to adopt such steps as they may be advised are
necessary to carry out the resolution."
SUICIDE ,EY 4 WOMAN.—On Wednesday, an inquest was
held on the body of Elizabeth Fagan, who had committed
suicide by drowning herself in the canal. The deceased was
52 years of ag,e,ltnd lived apart from her husband, in Wright-
street, Toxtethspark. She had been much addicted to in-
temperate habits during the -last eighteen months, and in
consequence had not been on good terms with her family,
though she had been mainly supported by her son. On Tues-
day morning she went out of the house, apparently in good
health and spirits ; but a few hours afterwards a man, named
James Scott, saw her struggling in the canal near Bootle.
,Scott immediately rescued lier, but she died iu a few minutes
1.-. after. On searching the b‘, 6s. 61d. and.44pawn-tickets
.were found in Tier pocket, together with a note addressed to
To

-children, Mrs. Cornet. This note is from your mouser. 1.
forgive you all. Look for my body in the canal: I will leave
mark. No more from your forsaken mother." On a loose
piece of paper, which was also found in her pocket, she had
written—" Please to take :my body to Mrs. Cornet, 11,
Hornby-street. A Forsaken Mother.', The :jury returned a
verdict of "Felo de. se," and she was consequently buried
without the -usual Christian rites.

A DISSENTSJSG Pja.EACREn .IN THOUELE.—Before the
smagistrates, on Frida Police-officer 216 said that, on Thursday
-night, he was called by a woman who keeps a notorioushouse, 5,
lcorbury-street, to look after two men in her house, one of
•witom had, she said, taken money from the pocket of the
other; and, for fear that she might be blamed if anything-Avas
wrong, she wished-the officer to investigate the matter. On
entering the house, one of the prisoners violently assaulted
him, and witligreatd.ifficulty, he was, in consequence, con-
veyed to bridewelL On being searched, cards, with the
name " Rev. Patrick Macmanamey," were found on him,, as
well as a portion of an Edinburgh paper, from which it ap-
peared that he was an agent of the Edinburgh Irish Church
-mission, in connexion with which his services were highly
eulogised by one of the speakers (the Rev. Dr.sßegf;), ate
public meeting held at Bdinburgh, and reported in the
•newspaper. Passenger ,contract tickets for America, for
which 531 had been paid, were also found on the prisoner.
In his defence, he said he was a medical man.; but the magis-
trate, Mr. Robertson -Gladstone, who said he had reason to
believe he was a doctor of another profession, fined him 20s.
and costs for the assault on the police-officer.
BRUTAL ASSAULT AND Roams RY.---At the Police-court,
on Friday, Thomas Leigh and Susan Oxton were charged
with stealing money from William Hutchison, and with
violently assaulting police-officer 440. Mr. Hutchinson said
that he Was sheltering in the doorway of a house in Charteris-
street on Thursday, when the female prisoner asked him to
come inside of the house. He did so, when the two prisoners
held him down,-vvhile another man rifled his pockets. The
male prisoner bit him on the face with his teeth. in the
evening, after the robbery, he met police-officer 440 in
Vauxhall-road, to,whom he related what had happened, and
pointed out the prisoners, who were then passing along. The
officer attempted to take the male prisoner into custody, when
a mob of 300 persons gathered around him, and, in a scuffie
which ensued, he was knocked down, the female prisoner
jumping on his body. The male was sent to gaol for three
months, and the girl for fourteen days.
HEALTH COMMITTEE.—The weekly meeting was held on
Thursday, Mr. Alderman Langsdale in the chair. The other
members present were Messrs. Beckwith, Shiel, Johnson, R. ,
-UlaAstone,M`Guffie, Hodson, Cresthwaite, and Halhead. The
medical officer reported that the mortality of the boroughton-
tinned unusually low.—The borough engineer, building sur-
veyor, and inspector of nuisances, reported various particulars
of the operations in their several departments during the week.
—An application was made to the committee to macadamise
the road at the south end of the Sailors' Home, in front of the
Seamen's Chapel.—Mr. Gladstone objected, on the ground that
the parties for whom the chapel was originally intended did
not attend,2-nd that it was frequented altogether by other
parties. If the street required to be altered, let those who sat
pew-free pay for it themselves.—Mr. Beckwith moved, and Mr.
Gladstone seconded, that the matter be not entertained, which
was carried by a majority of 5 to 3.—An application was put
in for several new streets to be laid out in the neighbourhood
of the Zoological Gardens.—Mr. Gladstone asked if it would
not be possible, in those new streets, to make some arrange-
ments for the better placing of water-pipes and gas-pipes.—
The borough engineer explained that there were two rows of
pipes now laid, and they were laid under the curb-stone; but
the system could never be perfect until they adopted the idea
of making a tunnel in the middle of narrow streets, and a
tunnel on each side of the broad streets. It would cost £1 4-s.
per yard more than it does for laying down pipes on the pre-
sent system ; but it would, ultimately, be a great saving.—The
subject then dropped; and, 'as this concluded the general
business, the board adjourned.
DOCK COMMITTEE.—The weekly meeting was held on
Thursday, Mr. Charles Turner in the chair. A letter was
read from the Chairman of the Audit Commission, enclosing
the report of the special auditors for the year ending 21st
June last, which stated that, after a close and careful exami-
nation, it was found that all money due to the Trustees dining
that period had been collected by the treasurer, and properly
accounted for. The report was referred to the Finance Com-
mittee. A letter was read from the agent of the Dundalk
Steam-packet Company, stating that the eaves of the shed oc-
cupied by that company in the Clarence-basin projected so
much as frequently to come in contact with the steamers. The
letter was referred to the Harbourmasters' Committee. The
Solicitor produced a report of the changes effected in the Dock
regulations by the recent Dock Act which had come into ope-
ration, which was ordered to be printed for the information of
the public. A correspondence was read between the Harbour-
masters' Committee and Messrs. Charles G. Cowie and Co., in
which the latter complained of the appropriation of the south-
east corner of the Prince's-doek as a special berth to the
vessels of the Liverpool line of Australian packets, belonging
to Messrs. M`Gee, Levingston and Co. After some conversa-
tion, the subject was referred to the Fighourmosters' Com-
mittee.
A Darr E; SAILOR.—At the Police-court. on Friday, a
seaman, named York, was brought up under the following
circumstances :—Early that morning Mr. and Mrs. Davenport,
who reside in Denison•street, were enjoying their connubial
repose, when the lady was aroused by an arm, evidently not
that of her husband, being placed round her neck. She
screamed, and awoke Mr. Davenport, who lighted a candle,
but he had scarcely done so ere the light was extinguished,
and when another light was procured it was found that the
room had been entered by a strange sailor, evidently in a state
of intoxication. It was afterwards discovered that the prisoner,
who lodged next door, had entered the house, and was about
to get into the bed, mistaking it for his own. The key of
the house where he lodged fitted Mrs. Devonport's door also.
He was discharged with a caution.
EMBARKATION OF TROOPS.—A further detachment of the
Ring's Own Dragoon Guards, consisting of about 86 men,
rank and file, 116 horses, and a number of officers, embarked
on Saturday, at this port, on board the screw-steamer Resolute,
for the Crimea. The officers were Lieut.-Colonel Haythorne,
Ist Foot ; Lieut-Colonel Gloster, 38th Foot ; Captain Daire,
Grenadier Guards ; Lieut. Gascoigne, ditto ; Lieut. Viscount
Stonnors, ditto; Brevet-Major the Hon. P. Fielding, Coldstream
Guards ; Major Street, 57th Foot ; Captain Piers, with a
detachment of the 97th, to be embarked at Dublin, where the
Resolute will take on board 14 officers of the sth Dragoons,
Ist Foot, 13th Foot, 14th Foot, and 90th Foot, with 400 men
and 77 horses. The screw-steamer Emu is ordered to be in
readiness to embark at this port, on the 14th instant, 23
officers and about 600 men of the 51st Regiment for Malta;
and the Andes (s.s), on the same day, S officers and 300 men
of the 51st Foot; 9 officers and 100 men of the 3rd; 4 officers
and 100 men of the 31st ; and 10 officers and 200 men of
the 48th.
TM? RIVAL RAILWAY COSIVANTES.—On Friday, the rail-
way fares between Liverpool and Southport were greatly
reduced, and parties may now obtain return tickets for one
shilling, thus enabling them to travel between Liverpool and
Southport and back, a distance of about 49 miles, at little more
than a farthing a mile. The public are thus reaping the
advantage of the fierce competition which has been caused
between the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company and the
East Lancashire Company, consequent upon the opening of
the latter company's branch from Southport, which runs into
their main line near Ormskirk. On Friday there was unusual
excitement at the Exchange Station, from which both compa-
ny's trains start,. said we underdtand that there was :an
immense increase in the number of passenger& The town,
and the neighbourhood of the Station, was extensively pla-
carded by both companies, each asserting that their lines
respectively were the shortest. The Lancashire and York-
shire Company announce that "the shortest and only direct
route to Southport is via Waterloo and Crosby"; 'whilst the
East Lancashire Company 'state that theis is "the only
direct line tc, Southport—nine trains per day."
ORANGE AGAINST TRECAPTAIN OP TKE JAME'S ILVINES.—
At the Liverpool Police•rourt, on Saturday, Mr. Sowler
applied for a warrant against Captain M`Donnell and other
officers of the Royal mail ship James Baines, 'for an alleged
assault committed on a Dr. Carr during the late 'homeward
voyage 'from Melbourne. Mr. Sowler stated the.
the 25th
of March last his clizrat, who had made himself 'obnoxious to
the captain for a prominent part he had taken in the main-
tenance of the rights of the passengers, was taking a walk on
thepoop, when Captain M`Donnell went behind him, kicked
him, and afterwards made him the object of great annoyances,
fining him 20s. 'for an alleged assault on a person named
Ikmbridge, and-confining him in a place 'below unfit for a
lraman being to live in. The magistrates, considering the
long interval Which had elapsed since the had been in
port, which had afforded Dr. Carr ample opportunity to bring
'his case earlier hefore the court, and considering that it would
be unjust to rue owners of the ship to cause her detention at
the very time she was advertised, :under a penalty to the
Government, to sail with-the Post-office mails, refused -to ac-
cede to' the application. The ;presiding magistrates were Mr.
S. Holme and Mr. Anderson.
LIVERPOOL LICENSED VICTIIALLERS' ASSOCIATION.—This
body celebrated its twenty-fifth anniversary on Thursday last,
at Eastham. The fete included thecustomary annual ball in
aid of the funds of the benevolent institution connected with
the association, which was preceded by an elegant :and sub-
stantial-cold collation, served in the banquetting ream. The
festivities were honoured by the .presence Of the mayor (Mr.
J. B. Tobin), Mr. Charles Turner, several of the members of
the corporation, &e. Mr. 'Jonathan Williamson, of the firm of
Messrs. Geo. Pim and Co., distillers, occupied the chair, sup-
' ported by the mayor and Mr. 'Law Sykes, president of the
association. After justice had 'been done to the good things
provided, a number 'of toasts were given, that of" Prosperity
to the Liverpool Licensed Victuallers' Association, and the
'Health of the Chairman and 'Committee," being proposed by
the mayor, who, speaking of the progress of Liverpool, said,
"There are many around this table who can call to mind Li-
verpool when it was far less important than it'is now. During
the past forty years it has increased more than teu-fold. Those
around this table—many of them—can recollect the time when
'Liverpool did not boast of more than 400,000-tons of shipping,
but now there are upwards of 4,500,000. (Cheers.) It is
steadily increasing in im,portance—rising more rapidly than any
port in the kingdom—and already far exceeds in its foreign
commerce that of the metr4olis itself : and I believe that the
acquisition recently made of the Birkenheadproperty will tend
to give increased security and importance.to Liverpool, and
will enable us to afford such accommodation to the commerce
of the country as the whole world beside canuotoffer." (Cheers.)
'After other toasts had been given, and responded to, the- large
mom was cleared, and the ball commenced.
'CHARGE OF MA.NSLAUGHTEIL—An inquest was held before
the deputy-coroner on Saturday, on the body of Ann, wife of
1 j -William Kelly.—Mary,'wife of Christopher Shaw, Jackson's-
court, Sparling-street, -said she knew thedeceased, who lived
next door to her. Never heard any quarrel in the louse
'between the deceased •and her husband. Deceased want to
the Workhouse last Thursday week ; her "husband went with
her. Before she went witness was in henhouse, and heard her
hathand advise her to stay at home, and the . would be better
.4.444--1-4 4- 1--.4 --- 1-445
•4•• et +-hat she
'should be better taken eare of. Witness never saw her again.
Similar testimoney was given by Mary Fender, and other
neighbours.—Jame Oliver, nurse of the Workhouse, remem-
bered the deceased being brought in there on the 26th‘of last
month. She became rapidly worse until Friday afternoon,
.when she died.—George Carr, governor of the Workhouse,
• said-his attention was particularly called to • the deceased on
Friday, about twelve o'clock, when she appeared to be dying.
The surgeon was present, and told her that the was dying,
and She said she knew-She was. She then stated that about
three-months ago her-husband, William Kelly, had returned
home on a Sunday morning, and found fault with her because
she had not his breakfast ready ; that he kicked her on the
left side with the point of his shoe, making her black and
blue, pulling the hair out of her head in handfuls ; that she
told the neighbours he had done so; and -that she had not
been well since. At her desire the prisoner was -sentlor, and
came in -the afternoon. Witness was present when he saw
the deceased. They shook hands, and she immediately re-
peated to him three 'times the words, " You murdered- me."
Witness stooped over her and said, '"My good woman,.do you
know you are dying now.r and she said "Yes." He -then
asked if what she had said was true, and her reply was, -"Yes,
he murdered me ;" and these were the last words she-uttered.
When the deceased said to her husband, " You murdered .me,"
witness called his attention to the words. He seemed -sur-
prised, and said he could prove the contrary. He -also said he
never wished her to come -to the Workhouse at all.—Mr.
Francis Ayrton, surgeon, at the Workhouse, was 'present
when the deceased made the statement detailed by Mr.Learr.
Before then he had told her that she was dying, and she.said
she felt that she was sinking. 'Witness confirmed the state-
ment of the governor. He made an examination of the body.
On the left side, above the groin, he found a black spot, about
the size of a crown-piece, in the :centre of a tumour. Had
seen the swelling during her life, but there was only then
slight discolouration, and mortification had set in in that
place. On opening the body, found that the intestine, exactly
:under the spot, was blackened and diseased, and that there
,was matter there. Witness was of opinion that deceased had
died from mortification at this spot, and that the injury must
.hare been produced from external violence. Deceased had
pointed out this place as the exact spot where her husband
.had kicked her. A kick from a shoe might have produced
such an injury. The jury returned a verdict of "Man-
slaughter" against the husband, and he was committed for
.trial.under the coroner's warrant.
CALEDONIAN CREAM.—Two ounces of raspberry jam or
jelly, two ounces of red currant jelly, two ounces of sifted loaf
sugar, the whites of two eggs—put it into a bowl, and beat it
with a spoon for three-quarters of an hour. This makes a
very pretty dish, and is good and economical.
THE END or BUSINESS.—It is well to remember that the
end of business is happiness, and all that we gain on the road
•is so nauch,clur gain. Much of life is necessarily passed in
business pursuits, and all have an interest in making- its
transactions. as pleasant and agreeable as possible. Politeness
is the life, •animation, beauty, poetry of business, that gives it
all its flavour. It is a virtue, too, that needs and will bear
extension. No station, rank, or talents can ever excuse a man
for neglecting the eivilities due from man to man. Integrity,
too, is never to be lost sight of. It is the corner.stone.of the
character of the true man of business, in the absence of whysli
the whole edifice topples to its ruin.
EVERYTHING ICAB A. BEGINNING.—Newton was once a
child, and often got whipped ; Alexander ran in leading-
strings ; and Cnsar was thrashed for stealing a top.—New
Motithly Magazine.
MLIMIAGE IN EARNEST.—When the late Lord Erskine,
then going the circuit, was asked by his landlord how he
had slept, he replied, " Union is strength—a fact of which
your inmates seem to be unaware : for, had the fleas been
unanimous last night, they might have pushed me out of
the bed." " Fleas !" exclaimed Bonifice, affecting great asto-
nishment, " I was not aware that I had a single one in the
house." I don't believe you have," retorted his lordship ;
" they are married, and have uncommonly large families I'
A NOTED TIPPLER once succeeded in passing a public-
house by the road-side without stopping to cheer the inner
man. When he had proceeded about half a mile he expressed
his admiration in the following terms : " Well done, Jem, I
didn't think you could do it :11l go back and treat you to a
glass for your resolution."
Tim hours of a wise man are lengthened by his ideas, as
those of a fool are by his passions. The time of the one is
long, because he does not know what to do with it ; so is that
of the other, because he distinguishes every moment of it with
useful or amusing thoughts—or, in other words, because the
one is always wishing it away, and the other always enjoying it.
WOMAN,—The last and best of all the series. If we have
her for a toast, we won't ask for any but-her.
THE EXTRAORDINARY POISONING CASE.—Mr. J. S.Wooler,
a gentleman of fortune, residing at Burdon, near Darlington'
whose wife died lately under suspicious circumstances, was
arrested, on Satui•day week, on a charge of poisoning her. He
was examined on Monday, when two doctors were appointed to
attend to the exhumation and analysis of the deceased lady's
viscera. The examination was adjourned until yesterday,
A Duna is reported to have taken place between Generals
Changarnier and Morny, in which the latter was run through

ESSENCE OF "PUNCH."
CORRECT MEASUREMENT.—TeII me how many ladies'-
maids a lady has had, and I will tell you her temper.
SIR CHARLES NAPIER angrily refuses to be a G.C.B. We
thought he was one already,—Graham's Cross Boy.
MONEY MARKET AND SANITARY INTELLIGENCE.=-The un-
safest of all deposits is the deposit of the banks of the Thames.
RAILWAY NEWS.—There is an old lady who says, that she
always likes to travel by a trunk line, because then she feels
confident about the safety of her luggage.
THE USE OF ADULTERATION.—LittIe Girl : "If you
please, sir, mother says, will you let her have a quarter of a
pound of your best tea to kill the rats with, and a ounce of
chocolate as would get rid of the black beadles ?"
DOMESTIC AND POLITICAL ECONOMY COMBINED.— Mr.
Briefless says, "It is with politics as with your linen—any
sudden change is dangerous."
A NATURAL REQUEST.—The " Fibre Company" has, it
seems, been canvassing certain parties of the House of Lords
for support. It is only natural that those who would make
paper should apply to reputations that have gone to rags.
A WHISPER TO BORES.—Bores should be lenient enough
to bear in mind this truth :—that it is with the Fire of Con-
versation as with any other fire—little Sticks kindle it, great
Sticks put it out.
KING CLICQUOT'S COLOURS.—The wits of Frederick Wil-
liam have gone Berlin wool-gathering. The colour of the
King's proceedings can no longer pass under the denomina-
tion of neutral tint ; and affairs in the quarter of Sans Souci
are looking decidedly (Prussian) blue.
CO-LOANIAL DEVICE.—A financial writer, who appears to
have only partially considered his subject with reference to
the law of meum and tuum, suggests that " the gold of Aus-
tralia ought to be used in reduction of our national debt."
This ingenious plan for obtaining an advance is certainly the
newest reading of the colonial motto, " Advance, Australia."
AFFECTING ANECDOTE.— Some of the Russian prisoners,
captured in the Kertch affair, have been brought to London.
The other day they were taken upon one of the bridges, that
they might have a sight of the Thames. No sooner did the
odours of the river reach them, than they simultaneously ut-
tered a cry of delight, as if at a memory of home, and raptu-
rously exclaimed, " SivciM Sivcish !"—the Putrid Lea ?
NEAPOLITAN FROG s.—The King of Naples, a great stranger
in his own capital—can Naples have a better recommenda-
tion ?—went there on the occasion of the late fete. Where-
upon certain animals exclaimed—" Long live our absolute
king !" When the king of the frogs took his subjects by
mouthfulls, even the frogs (but then they were not Neapoli-
tan,) did not, according to Esop, croak—" Long live our abso-
lute stork !"
CLEANSED OF HIS Ennoßs.—An aquatic enthusiast, who
has just returned from the cold water cure, says he has had
quite enough of it, and that he is fairly tired with the water
and the walks, and the walks and the water, that beautifully
vary one's amphibious existence at a hydropathic establish-
ment ; so much so, that henceforth he renounces the path-os
and the bath-os that are usually laid on, like so much water
from a water company, in praise of a Malvern, or Benrhydding
life, the great charm of which consists in washing and rough-
drying (not to say, mangling) oneself all day long.
LORD JOHN RUSSELL'S COAT OF OFFICE.—We understand
from a reliable eaves-dropper in Downing-street, that the coat
of office which Lord John has lately left oft' wearing will
shortly be on view at Nathan's, the costumier, it being found
unsuitable for any but mere masquerading purposes, We are
told, indeed, that it presents upon inspection a most party-
coloured appearance, one half being of a bright military scarlet,
while the other shows the sombre drab of the Peace Society.
The coat, it is said, like the head of its late wearer, hears very
evident marks of having been half turned within the last
twelvemonth, and one of the sleeves has every appearance of
having been much laughed in.

expressly for the purchase of pictures ; and that it will not be
necessary to expend the grant in each particular year, but
that it may be formed into a cumulative fund, out of which
considerable collections may occasionally be purchased, as
opportunity offers. This condition, however, is one which
will require to be narrowly watched. Misplaced partiality,
whim, or individual influence, may be so readily brought to
bear on-the expenditure of such a fund, that zealous watch-
finess alone can secnre its satisfactory outlay. By one
Portion of the new.arrangements Sir CHARLES EASTLAKE has
been appointed director, with authority, independent of and
paramount to that of the trustees, as to the purchase of any
picture or collection. The director, in terms of his appoint.
ment, is required to lay an annual report before Parliament,
so that the affairs and condition of the National Gallery will
be brought yearly under supervision of the House of Com-
mons. A new museum of science and art is to be built near
the site of the old Crystal Palace, at the national cost, aided
by the surplus fund derived from the Great Exhibition of
1851. When completed, the museum will be open to the
public gratuitously.
• The poetical department of the literary world has been
agitated, convulsed, distracted, within the last few days, for
the fortieth or fiftieth time within a year or two. The POET
LAIIREATE has issued "a great poem," is the breathless ex-
clamation of one set of enthusiasts ; TS NNYSON has pub-
lished his " Maud, and other poems," is the quiet remark of
another. It is glorious, rich, glowing, extatic, says one ; it is
beautiful, chaste, and stately, says another. Within the last
few years so many thefts and spurious snatches have been
made of APOLLO'S fire, that the announcement of a new
claimant for poetic fame is met with an ominous shake of the
head by the sagacious—the doubt implied being magnified
in its portent in proportion to the brazen sounds which have
been made to herald the candidate's approach. What between
BIGGS, SMITHS, and BAILEYS-, and their noisy trumpeters,
the poetic circle has been kept in: a perfect uproar for years
past, and a modest minstrel who, should rely upon his merits
is rudely hustled out of the arena. Tn the midst of the chaos
so created, it is refreshing, as well as-inspiriting, to meet with
a song in which nature is allowed to, walk on the earth, wan-
dering among meadows, and flowers, and woods, and associated
with well-conditioned human beings, instead of being whisked
away into• the region of broken suns, stray planets-, and lunatic
stars,.holding converse with misanthropic. angels and saints of
more than• doubtful purity. TENSYSOIIf'S' song is full of
healthy fealing, and is in fine contrast to the spasmodic verse
so admirably and felicitously ridiculed in Firmilian.

AGRICULTURE.
How xo CUT HEDGES.—AImost all the thorn one sees are
clipped square, i. e., the top is made flat and the sides per-
pendicular, the object apparently being to make them as like a
wall as possible. An observation I heard made lately seems to
have a great deal of truth in it, viz., that this system has a
great tendency to make the hedge grow thin below, and that
it is a much better way to keep it widest at the base and let it
gradually taper to a point at the top. I have certainly seen
hedges managed in this way present a beautifully close surface,
which I attribute to the plan of allowing a much greater
number of shoots to reach the outside. Hedges kept square
are very apt, when old, to get " blanky," and grow bare
near the ground, even though the top may be quite thick and
flourishing. In this case there is no remedy but cutting down,
always a disagreeable necessity, for then all shelter is gone at
once, whereas this would very seldom be necessary if the hedge
was kept in a pyramidal shape, for then there would always be
plenty of shoots close to the ground equally young and growing
as those at the top.—A. Northern, in Gardeners' Chronicle.
DAMP HAY AND SALT.—A good deal of hay having been
stacked hastily, with risk of overheating, and the weather still
not promising a good time for drying, ler me remind your
farming readers, that overheating may be prevented by a little
salt strewed in, in stacking ; say 11b. to the cwt., more or less
accordineto the dampness. Too much salt will prevent its
heating at all, to sweeten with age, which makes it sell better,
though, perhaps, none the more nourishing for home use. A
still better method is, to stack the damp hay in layers, with old
dry hay, or straw, and sprinkle the salt between ; but few
farmers have, probably, much old hay, or straw, now, to spare
for the purpose. Mouldy hay, put together with salt, from 81b.
to 251 b. per ton, was better relished by the cattle, and did them
more good, than sound hay stacked without salt; of which
many instances are recorded. An excellent farmer, at Land-
rake, in Cornwall, many years ago, stacked damp hay with
salt ; which came out almost a paste when the rick was opened,
but the cattle devoured it greedily. In Germany, they even
cure fresh cut grass by pitting with salt, Ilb. to the cwt. • it
comes out quite a paste, and is said to go farther, in food, than
the same quantity of grass made into hay. The advantage of
dry straw, to absorb the juice drawn out by the salt, is twofold,
—first, in preventing the souring of the grass,—and second,
in rendering the straw itself nourishing and palatable, by the
juice thus absorbed—T. Prideaux.

BY ORDER OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE LATE CHARLES
TAYLEUR, ESQ.
IN a few weeks will be offered for PUBLIC SALE,
the WOODCROFT ESTATE, freehold of Inheritance, con-
taining about 50 acres, situate in the township of Wavertree, on
the north or north-east side of Smithdown-lane, and running
along Wellington-road towards Wavertree-lane, with which latter
it communicates by a new street lately made the whole length of
the property.
It is proposed to sell the estate in lots of from 10,000 to 18,000
yards, but, if required, it will be sold in such other quantities as
may suit purchasers.
Woodcroft House, which was built with every attention to con-
venience and comfort, with good outbuildings and offices, com-
prising about 18,000 yards, forms a very desirable lot.
The rapid increase in the population of Liverpool calla for the
erection of moderate-sized villas, with good gardens attached, and
this estate is particularly suited for this purpose, being within an
easy walking distance of Liverpool.
The great sewer now being constructed for the suburbs will af-
ford an excellent drainage.
Plans and further particulars may be had by application to P.
SERJEANTSON, ESQ., 17,01dhall-Street ; or Messrs. LACE, Banos,
and ROSCOE, Castle-street.

SPLENDID HOTEL ESTABLISHMENT FOR SALE, AT A
GREATLY REDUCED PRICE.
On FRIDAY, the 31st August instant, at Twelve o'clock Noon,
within the Cross Keys Assembly Rooms, in Kelso,
THE splendid and commodious HOTEL of the
CROSS KEYS, in Kelso, as lately belonging to, and occu-
pied by, the deceased, Mr. Adam Yule, and now forming a part
of his Sequestrated Estate.
This Establishment is known to be one of the most perfect of
its kind to be found in any part of the kingdom, and in which an
extensive business has long been carried on. The Hotel com-
prises a magnificent Assembly Room, 50 feet 4 inches long, by 24
feet 4 inches in width, exclusive of a recess 27 feet 6 inches by 5
feet 7 inches ; height of ceiling, 19 feet 4 inches. A Supper-room

Closets, and ample accommodation for Servants; and the Bar,
Kitchens, and Cellarage are upon a scale seldom to he met with,
and capable of carrying on a Business to an unlimited extent.
There are also Two Commodious Shops, with Dwelling-houses,
let off to Tenants, but which, if taken into the Establishment,
would give a great amount of additional accommodation.
The Offices are most extensive, and are all close to the vicinity
of the Hotel. The Coach-houses and Stables are very commo-
dious, with large Stable-yard, and other conveniences.
Kelso is known to possess one of the largest Weekly Corn
Markets in the South of Scotland, and Fortnightly Cattle Mar-
kets, with well attended Race Meetings; and, as the North-
Eastern and. North British Railways are within little more than
Half-a-mile of the Hotel, it is much visited throughout the season
by Tourists and Commercial Travellers.
On the whole, so eligible a property of the kind is rarely offered
for Public Competition ; and a purchaser of capital and expe-
rience would have a most favourable field for carrying on a large
and profitable business.
Upset price of Hotel, Stables, Yard, Coach-houses,
and others £2,600
Of Tweed Lodge
If desired, the greater part of the price would be allowed to
remain upon the Property.

CORN.
LIVERPOOL, Avo. 3.—The market to-day was thinly attended,
and notwithstanding the continued unsettled aspect of the weather,
the trade remains without any symptoms of animation ; on the
contrary, we have experienced a slow retail business in wheat,
even of the more useful working descriptions; Spanish parcels
are pressed from the ship at a reduction of Id per bushel, and all
other sorts participate in a similar depression from the currencies
of Tuesday last. Flour has also receded Is per sack, with very
lif,ht transactions reported. Barley finds only a retail inquiry,
without apparent change in value ; but beans are in better request,
la Re awe tan IxIT, apituio pitlnevlivt *Yet air jail;
sumers for shipment to Ireland, and, not being pressed for sale,
an advance of 6d per quarter has been paid, the rates being 33s Gd
for mixed, and 39s per 4801bs. for yellow American; no further
large parcels have been taken for investment.

PRESTON, MTG. 4.—There was about an average supply of
English wheat at market this morning, which sold slowly, and
upon the general samples of white an atement of 6d to Is per

WISBECH, Alia. 4.—A small attendance of farmers at the
market to-day, who offer a fair quantity of wheat at a reduction
of 2s. per qr. The trade proceeded slowly, and but little business
done. Oats and beans none on offer.
NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, Atm 4.—There was a fair supply
of wheat from the country this morning, which was sold at from

much doing in south country or foreign, and where transactions
took place a reduction similar to the above must be noted. No
change in oats or barley, but trade quiet. Flour a slow sale at

THE PROPHET'S SHRINE.
- The Hujrab, or `Chamber,' as it is called, from the circum-
stance of its having been Ayisha's room; is an irregular square
of from 50 to 55 feet, in the S.E. corner of the building, and
separated on all sides from the walls of the mosque by a
passage about 26 feet broad on the S. side, and 20 on the
eastern. The reason of this isolation has been before
explained, and there is a saying of Mohammed's, "0 Allah,
cause not my tomb to become an object of idolatrous adora-
lion ! May Allah's wrath fall heavy upon the people who
make the tombs of their prophets places of prayer !, ' Inside,
there are, or are supposed to be, three tombs facing the south,
surrounded by stone walls without any aperture, or, as others
say, by strong planking. Whatever this material may be, it
is hung outside by a curtain, somewhat like a large four-post
bed. The outer railing is separated by a dark narrow passage
from the inner one, which it surrounds, and is of iron filagree
painted of a vivid grass green—with a view to the garden,—
whilst carefully inserted in the verdure, and doubly bright by
contrast, is the gilt or burnished brasswork forming the long
and graceful letters of the Suls character, and disposed into
the Moslem creed, the profession of unity, and simikw religious
sentences. On the south side, for greater honour, the railing
-is plated over with silver, and silver letters are interlaced with
it. This fence, which connects the columns and forbids
,passage to all men, may be compared to the halclaahhio of

SENSATIONS IN THE DESERT.
In such circumstances the mind is influenced through the
body. Though your mouth glows, and your skin is parched,
yet you feel no languor, the effect of humid heat ; your lungs
are lightened, your sight brightens, your memory recovers its
tone, and your spirits become exuberant ; your fancy and ima-
gination are powerfully aroused, and the wildness and subli-
mity of the scenes around you stir up all the energies of your
soul—whether for exertion, danger, or strife. Your morale
improves : you become frank and cordial, hospitable, and
single-minded: the hypocritical politeness and the slavery of
civilisation are left behind you in the city. Your senses are
quickened: ;they require no stimulants but air and exercise,—
in the Desert spirituous liquors excite only disgust. There is
a keen enjoyment in a mere animal existence. The sharp
appetite disposes of the most indigestible food, the sand is
softer than a bed of down, and the purity of the air suddenly
puts to flight a dire cohort of diseases. Hence it is that both
sexes, and every age, the most material as well as the most
imaginative of minds, the tamest citizen, the most peaceful
student, the spoiled child of civilisation, all feel their hearts
dilate and their pulses beat strong as they look down from
their dromedaries upon the " glorious Desert." Where do
we hear of a " traveller" being disappointed by it ? It is
another illustration of the ancient truth that nature returns
to man, however unworthily he has treated her. And believe
me, gentle reader, that when once your tastes have conformed
to the tranquillity of such travel, you will suffer real pain in
returning to the turmoil of civilisation. You will anticipate
the bustle and the confusion of artificial life, its luxury and
its false pleasures,with repugnance. Depressed in spirits, you
will for a time, after your return, feel incapable of mental or
bodily exertion. The air of cities will suffocate you, and the
care-worn and cadaverous countenances of citizens will haunt
yen like a vision of judgment.

THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.
AUSTRALIAN MAILs.—In answer to a question from Sir
John PAEING TON, Mr. WlLsox said the government have no
distinct offer from the Australian Colonies with respect to the
proposed monthly communication with Australia. A resolu-
tion had, however, been passed by which the colonists agreed
to subscribe £6,000, half the estimated expense of the monthly
communication, on condition that the communication should
be by the overland route. The Peninsular and Oriental Com-
pany had made an offer to perform the work for £89,000, and
the matter was now under tiVk consideration of the Post-
master-General. _ _
EXCHEQUER BILLS BILL.—The CHANCELLOR of the Ex-
CHEQUER brought iii a bill founded upon the resolutions
agreed to on Thursday, which was read a first time.
APraorureTrox BlLL.—This bill, the introduction of
which announces the speedy termination of the session, was
brought in by Mr. WILSON, and read a first time.
THE FISHERIES (BRITISH ISLANDS AND FRANCE) BILL
was read a third time and passed.
THE NEGOTIATIONS- AT VIENNA.—Mr. LAING called at-
tention-to the objects and policy of the war, as effected by the
late negotiations, and moved an address for copies of anv cor-
respondence with the French government relative to the last
proposal of Austria. He defended the conduct of Lord
John Russell, and stated that the noble lord had been badly
treated. He said that-public feeling in France was against the
war, and concluded by saying that if the Austrian proposal
had been accepted by Russia we should have had peace, and if
refused we should have had the co-operation of Austria.—
Sir G. GuEr -said he could not assent to the motion, consider-
ing, as he did, that it would be impolitic to produce corres-
pondence with the French government upon the subject of
the war and the negotiations. In reply to the various argu-
ments of Mr. Laing, he observed, that the only difference be-
tween that member and Her Majesty's government was as to
the Austrian proposal. With regard to his remarks in favour
of the counterpoise plan, he ( Sir G. Grey) observed that
through the Vienna negotiations Austria had repeatedly, in
common with England and France, expressed her preference
to the principle of limitation over counterpoise, and had had
conclusive reasons for that opinion. He then referred to the
defence of Lord John Russell which Mr. Laing had entered
upon, and said that the noble lord had never been blamed for
submitting the proposal to government.—Mr. GLA.DSTONE
agreed with Sir G. Grey that the granting of the papers moved
for was a matter for the discretion of the government, but he
disputed his statement of facts. Sir George had, however,
made one important admission—namely, that the limitation of
the Russian power in the Black Sea was not to be regarded as
a sine qua' non of peace. The effect of this admission was to re-
strict the scope and object of the war, which the allies were pro-
secuting at the cost of £100,000,000 alvar ; and he was at a loss
to know what now could justify such a sacrifice. He proceeded
to consider whether the objects of the war seemed to be suffi-
ciently accomplished, by any of the propositions for peace, and
whether we had or had not good reason to think that it would
have been a wiser course to take the view adopted by Lord J.:
Russell at Vienna, and come to an accommodation with MN-.
sin. As to our ally Turkey, the great danger of the war was
that its prolongation would bring about the very evils we
sought to avoid, by making her, through exhaustion and de-
crepitude, an easy prey ; and with regard to Russia, we had: no
right to rely upon her exhaustion as likely to overbear her
wishes or resolution. _ _
A lengthened discussion ensued, in which several members
took part and the House abruptly adjourned at half-pa. 4 one
o'clock without the question having been put.
SATURDAY.
The Speaker took the chair at 12 o'clock.
APPROPRIATION BlLL.—This bill was read a second time;
as also were the Exchequer Bills (E 7,000,000) Bill and the
Militia Pay Bill.
The Ordnance Board, the Public Health Act (1854) Con-.
tinuance and Amendment Bill, and the Dwellings for Labour-
ing Classes Bill were read a third time and passed.
The amendments to the folloiving bills were considered and
agreed to : —Lunatic Asylums (Ireland) Advances, the Navi-
gation Works (Ireland), and the Diseases Prevention Bills.
The Burials Bill passed through committee, and having
been reported to the house kith amendments, was ordered to
be reprinted.
Lord Duncan obtained leave to bring in a bill to amend and
re-enact certain provisions of the act of the 54th of George 111.,
c. 137, relating to Judicial Procedure and Securities for Debts
in Scotland, which was accordingly read a first time.
The house adjourned at 10 minutes to 1 o'clock.

The Ministers in attendance on the Queen will be the Earl of
Clarendon, K.G. (Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs,) and
the Earl of Granville, (Lord President of the Council.)
LAUNCH OF THE MARLEOBOUGH.—The long looked-for
launch of the splendid vessel, Marlborough, on Tuesday, re-
sulted in "a pretty fix." The Queen and Court, the Lords of
the Admiralty, members of Parliament, and thousands of spec-
tators, went down to Portsmouth, and every preparation was
made for rendering the spectacle as splendid as could be. It
rained in torrents, but nevertheless some 50,000 persons were
present. On ascending to the platform at the stem Mr. Abe-
thell, the Master-Shipwright of Portsmouth Dockyard, was
presented to Her Majesty, and gave into her hands the gar-
landed bottle of wine which hung suspended, and which, pre-
cisely at twelve o'clock, Her Majesty dashed against the cut-
water, pronouncing simultaneously, "Success to the Marlbo-
rough." Shouts arose on all sides, the bands of the Guard of
Honour and of the Dockyard Brigade played the National
Anthem and "Rule Britannia," and the Court returned to
the Royal pavilion to see the ship emerge from the shed. Mr.
Abethell then gave the order to the artificers below to knock
away the blocks, which occupied an ominously long time ; at
length, at twenty-five minutes past twelve, she moved. A gene-
ral salvo from the lungs of the countless thousands proclaimed
the fact, and never did ship appear likely to take the water
more satisfactorily, until she got two-thirds out of the shed,
when, to the astonishment of everybody, she slowly brought
up, as if checked by some mighty influence, and remained
immoveable on the ways, the bows remaining under the shed
and the after-body in the harbour ! So unlooked-for a casu-
alty took every one by surprise, while the enthusiasm which
greeted her start from the slip subsided into silence ; mean-
while, the ship hung fast, and there we were obliged to leave
her. The Queen and the Prince remained some moments
contemplating the Marlborough in her unexpected " fix," but,
finding there appeared no prospect of her moving further, left
the scene, accompanied by the Court, for the Admiralty-house,
to the dejeliner, Through the united and energetic exertions
of 2,000 men, she was safely got off, amid the enthusiastic
cheers of those engaged, about midnight, and now lies afloat
and safely secured in the harbour.'

other a hundred thousand ducats. One sitting at the

A "TURKISH LADY BATHING.—Her attire is first
removed. An attendant takes a glove—every day it
is a new glove—of undressed silk. With the disen-
gaged hand, she pours over her mistress bason after
bacon of warm water. Then, by means of a gentle
friction with the glove, she slowly removes the salts
and impurities which are deposited on the skin
This finished, the attendant covers the lady from head
to foot, by means of a mop of downy silk, with a lather
made of a particularly emollient soap, peculiar, I be-
lieve, to Turkey. Upon this soap depends much of
that peach-like softness and snowy whiteness of the
skin, for which Eastern women always are so remark-
able. It has the reputation of removing stains, spots,
and freckles that are not deeply marked into the cu-
ticle. This part of the matter having been carefully
performed, the lady is again deluged in water, heated
to 110 deg. or 120 deg., and poured over her person
from a taus (bason) of silver. Large towels—we might
call them sheets—of the finest white muslin, richly
embroidered with flowers and gold, are wrapped around
her. And she is led into a saloon, where, reclining
upon a heap of cushions, she sinks into a soft dream-
like languor, that might become faintness, were it not
for the assiduity with which a slave fans her. As soon
as she is sufficiently recovered to bear it, another slave
combs, perfumes, and disposes her hair in ornamental
braids. The hour after the bath is one of gentle,
sleepy loveliness.—The City of t 1 Crescent.
ELDON AND THE REGENT.—Bedford-square was
the scene of the curious interview between Lord
Chancellor Eldon (who resided in No. 6), and the
Prince Regent, afterwards George IV. The story is
thus told. The prince came alone to the Chancellor's
house, and upon the servant opening the door,
observed that as the Chancellor had the gout, he
knew he must be at home, and therefore desired to be
shown up to the room where he was. The servant
said his master was too ill to be seen, and that he had
positive orders to show in no one. The prince then
asked to be shown the staircase, which he immediately
ascended, and pointed first to one door then to another,
asking, " Is that your master's room ? " The servant
answered no, until he came to the right one, upon
which he opened, the door, seated himself by the
Chancellor's bedside, and asked him to appoint his
friend Jekyll, the great wit, to the vacant office of
Master in Chancery. The Chancellor refused—there
could not be a more unfit appointment. It was a
round man for a square hole. The prince, perceiving
the humour of the Chancellor, and that he was firm in
his determination not to appoint him, threw himself
back in his chair, and exclaimed, •" How do I pity
Lady Eldon ! " " Good God," said the Chancellor,
" what is the matter ? " " Oh, nothing," answered the
prince, " except that she will never see you again, for
here I remain until you promise to make Jekyll a
Master in Chancery." Jekyll of course obtained the
appointment.
CIVILISATION IN POLYNESIA.—It was a novelty in
Polynesia to see persons along the roads bringing
wood, charcoal, and provisions of various kinds, to
supply a market; in short, a subdivision of labour,
and regular system of industry, in accordance with
the customs of Europeans. It appeared further, that
salt, manufactured principally from sea water, had be-
come an important article of exportation to the coun-
tries on the Pacific, from Chili to Kamtschatka ; and
that sugar, tutin oil, and arrowroot, also entered into
Hawaiian commerce. Engraving was an unexpected
accomplishment to find among Polynesians ; and some
drawings of ships were shown to me which exhibited
a neatness and correctness of minute detail not often
met with. I witnessed at the mission schools the
remarkable universal talent and fondness for mathe-
matical pursuits, about which so much has been said.
Printing, too, was conducted by natives, under foreign
superintendence ; and the missionaries had furnished
a liberal supply of mental nurture, in translations of a
variety of useful books : these amounted to quite a
library, and yet difficulty was experienced in keeping
up with the demand. It appeared, notwithstanding,
that no native had hitherto been found to possess all
the qualifications requisite to take charge of a shop,
or to conduct any mercantile business. The missiona-
ries regarded as one main obstacle to improvement,
the extremely limited views of the natives in respect to
style of living : " a little fish and a little poi, and they
were content." By adopting the use of coin, they
had placed themselves, in many respects, in the condi-
tion of indigence ; and in conformity with the new
standard of value, I was assured, could be supported
for less than two cents a day. Innovations were also
going on in political institutions, and during our stay
the first public execution took place ; the prerogative
of a chief being at the same time infringed. Much
interest was indirectly excited by the discovery of the
meaning of the word "conscience," for which there is
no corresponding expression in the Hawaiian language;
and one of the natives explained the new idea as " a
"magistrate within."—Pickerings's Races of Men.
SAINT JOHN AND THE ROBBER.—III a narrative at-
tested by Clemens Alexandrinus, we see how he visited
the Christians in the parts round about Ephesus, or-
ganised the churches, and provided for the appoint-
ment of the most competent persons to fill the various
church offices. On one of these occasions he noticed
a young man who promised to be of much service in
the cause of the gospel. He commended him to one
of the overseers, as a valuable trust committed to him
by the Lord. The overseer carefully watched him till
he received baptism. But he placed too much reliance
on baptismal grace. He left him to himself, and the
youth, deprived of his faithful protection, and seduced
by evil associates, fell deeper into corruption, and at
last became captain of a band of robbers. Some years
after, when John revisited that church, he was in-
formed to his great sorrow of the woful change that
had taken place in the youth of whom he had enter-
tained such hopes. Nothing could keep him back from
hastening to the retreat of the robbers. He suffered
himself to be seized and taken into their captain's pre-
sence ; but he could not sustain the sight of the
apostle ; John's venerable appearance brought back
the recollection of what he had experienced in earlier
days, and awakened his conscience. He fled away in
consternation ; but the venerable man, full of paternal
love, and exerting himself beyond his strength, ran
after him. He called upon him to take courage,
and announced to him the forgiveness of his sins in
the name of the Lord. By his fatherly guidance
he succeeded in rescuing his soul, and formed him
into a worthy member of the Christian community.
Another tradition preserved by Jerome bears also the
impress of the apostle's spirit. When the venerable
John could no longer walk to the meetings of the
church, but was borne thither by his disciples, he
always uttered the same address to the church ; he
reminded them of that one commandment which he
had received from Christ himself, as comprising all
the rest, and forming the distinction of the new
covenant : "My children, love one another." And
when asked why he always repeated the same thing,
he replied, " That if this one thing were attained, it
would be enough."—Neander's First Planting of
Christianity.
NECESSITY 70F THE SABBATH.—The Sabbath is
necessary. Man was made for six days' work, not for
seven ; and the Sabbath was made for man—planned
and suited for such a creature as he is. At the creation,
God, intending to give his creatures a Sabbath, said
that they were "all very good,"—suited to his gracious
designs. But part of those designs was the appoint-
ment of a weekly day of rest : and as man's nature is
adapted to a Sabbath and requires one,. he is not in
the situation for which his Creator designed him, if it
be withheld. You might as well deprive him f his
nightly rest as of his weekly Sabbath ;—the mischief,
though more slow, would be no less certain. It has
been declared upon the best medical authority, that
man's body cannot thrive without a weekly day of rest,
