THK LATE PROFESSOR AGASSIZ.

THE LATE PROFESSOR AGASSIZ.

The death of this eminent natural philosopher at New York,
which was recorded three or four weeks ago, is a great loss to
the world of scientific students. He was a Swiss, who had
lived in America during the past quarter of a century, and both
countries were justly proud of him. Louis Joan Rodolphc
Agassiz was born on May 28, 1807, in the village of Mottier,
Canton de Vaud, between the Lake of Neufch&tel and Morat.
His father was the pastor or parish clergyman there, and after¬
wards at Orbe, in the same canton. In 1818 Louis Agassiz
went to school at the Gymnasium of Bienne, whence he
was removed, in 1822, to the Academy of Lausanne. He
studied the experimental sciences, medicine, and com¬
parative anatomy, at the Universities of Zurich, Heidel¬
berg, and Munich, taking the degree of M.D. He attached
himself while at Munich to Spix and Martius, whose
travels in Brazil had attracted his interest; and on fhe death
of the former he joined the latter, at his request, in the publi¬
cation of a monograph of the fishes in that country, comprising
nearly 120 species, many of them but little known. The
interest awakened in him by superintending this elaborate book
through the press was such as to induce him to make further
researches into the nature and classification of fishes, and more
especially of the salmonidie and of the fresh-water fishes of
Central Europe. He published the first part of an elaborate
work on this subject, with illustrations, at Neufch&teL, in 1839 ;
a second and third part following after a few years’ intervaL
His next work in this direction, in which he had the assistance
of M. Vogt, was devoted to the embryology of the salmon
tribe. He had already devoted much attention to the
subject of fossil fishes, and had published the results of his
studies in a work entitled “Recherches sur les Poissons
Fossiles ” (Neuf chattel, 1833*41). He next came to England to
study the fossil strata of this country and its treasures, issuing,
in 1844, an elaborate account of those discovered in the old red
sandstone of the Devonian system. The direction of his studies
at this period may be traced in the titles of his next publica¬
tions—“Description dcs Echinodcrmes Fossiles de la Suisse,”
“ Monographicdes Echinodermes Vivants etFossiles,” “Etudes
Critiques sur les Mollusques Fossiles,” and “M6moire sur

where he had the assistance of the local society of natural
history. About the year 1847 he w'aa invited to Boston,
United States, to occupy a similar chair in the Harvard
University of Cambridge. In 1852 he was appointed to the
Professorship of Comparative Anatomy in the Medical College
of Charleston, South Carolina ; but this post he resigned after
two years, and returned to Cambridge. His name was not
forgotten on account of his retirement to the other side of the

Neufchatel, his “Etudes sur les Glaciers,” which suddenly
made him famous, and opened a subject of philosophical inquiry’
to which little attention had been directed up to that time.
He entered more fully into the subject in a second work, pub¬
lished by him at Pans in 1847—“ Recherches but les Glaciers. ”
Since 1838 he had held the Professorship of Natural History
at NeufchMel, where most of his works were published, and

THE RUSSIANS AT KHIVA.

The military expedition of General Kaufmann, in the early part
of last summer, to subdue the Tartar principality of Khiva, lias
been illustrated by several sketches engraved for this Journal.
They were drawn by officers of the Russian army, aud were
obtained by us through the agency of Mr. M 4 Gahan, special
correspondent of the. AVir Tori' IJrrctlrf, the only newspaper
renortcr allowed to join the expedition. He w ill shortly pub¬
lish a complete narrative of the whole campaign. The Illus¬
tration we now present is one that shows the scone iu the
garden of the Khan’s palace, after the surrender of Khiva,
when the General had an interview with Mohammed Rechid
Khan to arrange the terms of a treaty of peace. “This
treaty,” says a Russian official writer, “is intended to obviate
future disagreements between the various Central Asia princi¬
palities, which could only lead to mutual destruction and anarchy.
Clauses 2 and 3 lay down a line of frontier which is to hinder the
predatory inroads of the Turcomans, aud to secure to ns safe cara¬
van routes by laud and by water. The cession to Bokhara of a
portion of the territory on the right bank of the Ain-m Darya,
or Oxus river, and of the southern coniines of the Steppe be¬
tween that river and Turkestan, as provided for in clause 4,
aims at placing the caravan routes under the guardianship of
the Ameer of Bokhara, who will be responpiblo forthoir safety.
The restrictions enacted in clause 5 w T ith reference to the navi¬
gation of the Amou Darya are indispensable as long as the
Khiva and Bokhara nomads are addicted to robbery and in the
habit of profiting by the river for the furtherance of their un¬
lawful practices. Clauses 6 to 15 refer to commerce, ani arc
based upon the principle of mutual rights. Past experience

The National Assembly voted about 80,QOl),OOOf. of the
new' taxes yesterday, and adjourned until the Sfch insfc. On J
its reassembling, discussion of the bill relative to the nouii- j
nation of mayors will have precedence. Throughout the
week it has occupied itself with examining the different
clauses of the Budget, and rejecting hosts of amendments
one after the other. Among the few that have been adopted
is one moved by M. Ganivet, who noticed as an indefensible
nnnuialy in the" postal sendee that printed matter sent by
book post in France cost twice aH much as if it came from
Belgium or Switzerland, the obvious consequence being
that it would be advantageous for many French merchants and
tradesmen to have their circulars and catalogues printed abroad,
to the prejudice of homo industry. M. Chesnelong, on. the
part of the Budget Committee, opposed M. Ganivet s amand¬
in cut, but it was eventually carried against the Government by
350 votes to 302. The deficit in next year's estimated receipts
amounts to £5,755,000, for which the Assembly are endeavour¬
ing to provide by increasing the taxes on sugar, oil, and salt,

.It is rumoured that a proposition will sliorfcty lie made by the
Government to increase the land tax—a proceeding which can
only heighten its unpopularity among the agricultural classes.
The new year will be ushered in by a batch of interpellations.

of spectators. Jt is estimated that no less than 8000 people
followed the hearse, among whom were numerous Republican
deputies and journal if ts, the procession being so long that when
the hearse reached the Porte St. Martin the last mourner had
proceeded no further than the Boulevard Montmartre. The
burial was ]>erformed without any religious rites, Victor Hugo

RUSSIA.

A treaty containing eighteen articles has been concluded
between the Emperor and the Ameer of Bokhara. By thU
treaty the territory recently annexed by Russia on the right
bank of the Amou Daria is ceded to Bokhara. There are
various stipulations with a view to promote commercial inter¬
course between the two States, and articles 11 and 12 state
that the subjects of each are permitted to exorcise all trades in
the territory of the other, and to acquire landed property, sub¬
ject to the law's of the country. The Bokhara Govern meat
undertakes not to harbour refugees or other fugitives from
Russia, and will abolish the shave tr%de.

Ossipee, which should have brought her to New York, arrived
without her. The survivors of her crow were, on lauding,
examined by the New York authorities and released. Before
this news arrived, it was announced that the Spanish Govern¬
ment had followed up the advantage it gained by the derision
of the American law officers, and required the restitution of

In order to guard the newly-acquired territory, a? well as
to see lo the collection of the imposed war indemnity. General
Kaufmr.im deckled to build a fort, with a strong garrison, on
the light bank of the Oxus. Rut soon after the Russians had
closed to the right bank of the river the Turcomans returned
to Khiva from the deserts, where they had been driven by
General Coiovacbev, and demanded of the Khan to lead them
against the foreign invaders. Their request being refused, they
lx'g»n to plunder ami oppress the native inhabitants. They
laid siege to the town of Pitnyak, and tried to carry the place
by storm, but failed; and, on the report that the Russians were
about to attack them, they raised the siege and dispersed. It
is needless to add that whoever dares to oppose the Turcomans
is instantly massacred. The unhappy Khiveso are in a de
idol able condition. Overloaded with taxes by the Khan, on
the one hand, in order to satisfy the demands of the Russians,
and robbed or murdered by the Turcomans, on the other, they
arc on the veree of despair, and loudly pray to Russia for pro¬
tection. Jt is' just possible that their prayers will not remain
long unanswered; and that in a short time vse shall hear ot the
annexation of Khiva to Russia.

The Church of St. Mark, Myddolton-aquare, has be?n
recently undergoing a process of renovation, which was very
much needed, to adapt it to the wants of the parish, and which
lias cost the friends of St. Mark’s upwards of £1000.

On Sunday afternoon Canon lid don. in concluding an
eloquent sermon at St. Paul’s, made a brief reference to tho
losses of eminent men which have been sustained not only by
England but by Europe, during the past year, and which he
brought forward as an appropriate illustration oE the truth of
his text, that man’s life was, at the best, but transitory—that
he faded away like the grass.

The Earl of Devon has written a letter condo tuning the
prosecution of the Dean and Chapter in respect of the reredos
m process of completion in Exeter Cathedral, remarking that
it appears to him worthy to fill the most important place in the
groat work of restoration in tho cathedral, and suggesting that
a subscription bo Opened to^dofray tho expeuscs of tho Dean
and Chapter in defending themselves.

The committee of the Society of Schoolmasters, of which
the Archbishop of Canterbury is president, has this winter
granted assistance to distressed masters of endowed pro*
prictary ami hoarding schools, their widows aud orphans, to

On Thursday morning the Bishop of London consecrated
the new parish church of St. Mark. East-street. Walworth,
in the presence of a largo assembly. The site, which has been
profited, is valued at £1500, and the building itself has cost
£-J778. ] t is to accommodate (150 persons—£200 is still required
t<> complete the structure. The district, which contains 701))
sfiuls, 1ms lately become an ecclesiastical pariah, and hits been
endowed by tlio Ecclesiastical Commissioners with £200 a year,
ami upon the consecration a further endowment of £100 per
annum and £1500 for a parsonage will bo granted.

Last week the Bishop of Gloucester reopened the church of
Fourton-qli-the- Water. At a subsequent luncheon speeches
were made by the Bishop, the Archdeacon, Sir Thomas Bazloy,
M.P., the Rector, the Rural Dean (Hon. H. P. Uholmondeley),
the Revs. E. F. and Broome Witts, and by Mr. Moore, the
churchwarden. The original church consisted of cliatioel,
central tower, nave, aud south chantry. All but the eliancol
was pulled clown ninety years ago, and a miserable building
wr 3 nut up in its stead. Through the unwearied exertions of
tho Rector, however, it has been restored. The unseemly
gallery and fittings of tho present building have been removed,
and replaced by benches of good and plain doaigu, intended
eventually for tho new church, which it is intended as soon as
possible to build. The works have been under the direction of
Mr. T. G. Jackson.

St. Luke. There was a largo gathering of the clergy of the
nciubbourhooil. The works consist of a chancel 33 ft. long by
23 ft. bread, built uf Portland ston*\ and a chamber for organ
and vestry about 20 ft. square. The whole of the fittings are
of wainscot oak. The brass altar rails, a gift, are very
massive and handsome, the twisted pillars branching off on
both sides into passion flowers. In harmony with those are
two largo brass standards with "which the chancel is lighted.
The cast window is a triple lancet, supported by red granite
shafts tied in by brass bands. ThU has been filled with stained
glass by Messrs. Hardman, a gift from Mr. J. Bernard in
memory of his ouly chihl, who was drowned iu Southampton
\N a ter about sixteen moutlia ago. The Ovnr</uti% states that
the result of the whole alterations, which have been in the

modern and almost beautiful church.

On Christmas Day the University sermon was preached in
the cathedral, Christ Church, by tho Bov. IL G. Faussetb;
and, in addition to the full chorM service with the sermon, a
second and equally impressive celebration was held in the
afternoon, when there was a very large attendance. At
Magdalen and New there, were also full musical services, both
iu the morning and evening, which attracted large congrega¬
tions ; while at the numerous churches with which the city
abounds the day waa solemnised in the most appropriate
manner, the decorations at many places of worship being of
the most elegant kind. The annual custom of serving up a
boar’s head in the hall of Queen’s was duly observed in the
evening. The monster head, weighing upwards of 80lb., was
bedecked with bays, rosemary, laurels, holly, and mistletoe,
and was served up on a massive silver dish, surmounted with
flags and a gilt crown, and was borne on the shoulders of two
of the attendants, who were preceded by the Rev. Sackett
Hope, who sang the solo part of the Boar's Head song, the
college choir and singing-men joining in the choru3. The
custom of serving up the boar’s head at Queen’s has been
j observed for about 500 years, one authority quoting 1350 as
being the probable } ? ear of the first festival; out its origin is
somewhat obscure. The ceremony attracted an unusual uuni-
|ber of visitors, many being unable to gain admission to the
college hall.

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDO N N EWS

BY THE WAY.

Tlic rehabilitation of the dodo was to have been one of the
topics of the new year. Faith in this strange creature had
lingered in some few constant bosoms. One of the most learned
of our humourists pathetically sang some years ago—

But don't deny the dodo :

That wound k iny very heart.

. Still, the majority of us believed in the extinction of the bird,
and, moreover, had private doubts as to whether the uingjr old
picture of it which huug near a window in the old British
.Museum (we know not where it is now) had not been evolved
from the depths of somebody's immoral consciousness. But
the other day we were informed that a real live dodo had been
captured, and was coming over to be purchased at any price for
the Zoological Gardens. The directors of that establishment,
though sorrowing in their hearts for the death of Mi$3 Betsy,
the interesting but ill-conditioned slie-monater rhinoceros, a
friend of twenty-four years* grunting, roused themselves for a
noble bidding for the stranger. We should see the dodo again.
Selecting the morning of the new year for the blow, Professor
Owen comes forth with a brief but crushing letter. Something
may have been caught, but it is no dodo—only a ilodiet. He
known all about the animal. The word has gone forth.

Philosophy would clip an angel s wings :
and we cannot expect her to be mure merciful to those of a
dodo. But wc should like to hear the other x>oefc on the subject,
which might support a threnody worth the listing.

Every reader of books will rejoice that the German Emperor
has conferred upon Mr. Thomas Carlyle the Order of Merit
vacant by the death of Manzoni. Any honour to the philosopher
of Clielsea will delight the intelligent part of his countrymen,
if not the class he has described as “ mostly fools ; ” but it is
especially right that he should receive this distinction from
Germany. His w hole life has been passed in making us English
better acquainted with German literature and with the German
natuie, of which the former, in all its completeness and
thoroughness, is the genuine on temp. Mr. Carlyle’s criticism*,
in days long gone by, introduced thousands, and in the dirertejt
manner, to Goethe and Schiller, and Jean Paul and other
uhtjtri<<imi; and in many ot his more original essays lie was
palpably teaching us Germanism without profevdug- to do
so. Then, in later life, came his grand H istory of Frederick the
Great, for which Prnssia owes him a debt that can hardly be
said t<» be liquidated by tbe bestowal even of the honourable
decoration just conferred. Ho has been the interpreter between
us and our kinsfolk, and has undeniably brought us closer
together by his practical insistence npoa the Scots maxim that
blood is thicker than water. With sincerest pleasuro wo record
the gift of this Order.

Heroism in humble life is, we fear, growing scarcer and
scarcer. The many now adopt the wise course proposed by a
soldier in one of the comedies—“Eight, Jack, we'll argao in
X»latooii3.” Therefore, when wc read of some instance of
individual exertion, or even of self-denial—as when an artisan
insulted by a remonstrant wife nobly abstains from kuockiug
her down and stamping on her a sensation of pleasuro passes
through our frame, ami we enthusiastically ask, with a great
man, “Are they not our own flesh and blood?’’ So we felt,
the other day, when reading that a brave young servaut-girl i
a country house had been stricken down by a burglar, fro
whoE:c hands she bad been devotedly trying to save a vala *
article belonging-to her mistress. The rntlian had felled ‘
she clapped the silver plate, aDd had
blood on the window-sill. Teat inn

instantly poured in from admiring t
even * 'hriRtmas extortions did tioi tenY
liberal that maketh rich. We suppose
censed : or shall we be more Chari tah
impostors have less brass and power^ cd
This girl might have gone through, life
chignon : ami, even nad her story l>e<
sceptics, the many would have long ered
who wns so strong to invent has been so
heroine of domestic life has admitted thi
at all, that the story was of her own creation, tho proofs were
of hci own furnishing, and that, on the whole, she would
like the tale to be forgotten and herself to be forgiven. W c
would intercede for her but for the shock she. has caused to
these who are only too generously-eager to believe in kitchen
heroines.

A CHRISTMAS MARKET IX BERLIN*.

This market is for the sale of toys to amuse the children^ or
to hang upon the boughs of tho illuminated Chris fern os-tree.

Dolls for the little girls, soldiers in Prassian or !• ronch nn^

forms for the little boys, animals of different kinds, enough U
stock a Noah’s Ark, drums and trumpets, sprmg-guu* ami tm-
bladed sabres, with a variety of other playthings, hero tempt
the youthful fancy to a fierce desire of possession, the Liimt-
mas-tree itself is here to be bought; in some instances, wc see,
it appears reduced to a mere stand or stool, covered with ever¬
green foliage and furnished with numerous hooks to noil up
the gifts of the bounteous festival. The little dog lurks with
delight, as the little children crow or shout, amidst the joyrul
bustle of the juvenile pleasure-fair. We are glad also to hoc,
among the elder customers, a few* burly and bearded heroes ot
the Into war. Three years ago, on the same day of the year,

FIXE ARTS.

Tho ^historical porfcra : t* picture by Mr. Rudolf Lehmann,
designed to commemorate the ratification of the Persian couces-
eion°to Baron Julius do Reuter, is completed, and the picture
lias just been placed in Baron de Renter’s gallery. This largo
portrait composition presents nnusuitl claims upon attention, if
regarded solely from an art point of view, without reference t >
the certainly peculiar interest and importance of the event it
memorialises. But the act of formally resigning for many
years great part of the whale resources of a once mighty an 1
rich Asiatic empire, for. exploitation by a representative or
modern European capital, enterprise, and civilisation, is suro’y
an event which addresses itself so picturesquely to the imagi¬
nation that it should also afford some scope for artistic celebra¬
tion, if only by bringing into juxtaposition and contrast the
chief actors of East arid West who effected such a gigvitii
transaction. A rumour was, by-the-way, put alloat some tims
back to the effect that tbe Persian concession to Baron de Reuter
had been withdrawn, but the rumour has been officially con.
tradicted as devoid of all foundation; on the contrary, the
Baron has, wo understand, already made an energetic com¬
mencement of the great enterprise, in which ho must, of
course, expect to have, like M. de Lcssop3 before him, to con¬
tend against many sinister reports and unfavourable prognostics.
Wc have, however, in this column, not to do with the political
bearing of the concession, but with its pictorial memorial.
The picture represents an apartment of the Persian Embassy,
with about a dozen life-size full-length portraits of'the chief
contracting parties, mostly grouped around a tabic spread with
papers, a map of Persia, a despatch-box, &c. A painting of

Tn the G&ndiill we lmve to note the conclusion of “Zelda’a
Fortune,” md the commencement of a new serial fiction,
entitled “ Far From the Madding Crowd,” relating, as its name
imports, principally to rural life. Tho most prominent charac¬
teristic < f this story is, so far, its extreme minuteness of
detail, evincing carefulness of composition rather than the glow
of inspiration, and challenging respoct rather than sympathy.
The slapdash execution of “ Young Brown” appeals to neither
sentiment. In tho present instalment the aceue is transferred
to India, and the action is prosecuted among the incidents of
the mutiny* with which tho writer has so little acquaintance
that he is glad to eke out the details of an indinu battle-piece
by borrowing from the history of the Crimean campaign. T he
real attraction of the story, for readers who find such things
attractive, consists in its unsparing personality. Far different^,
in spirit is the elegant tribute rendered by Mi-a Thacker
Landseei — adding, indeed, little to our kn >wledge^ ' A

creatures tx- i-pt with pity. But there is one thing which ou^ht
to be |jointcd out. As soon as a piece is established in oopular
favour, audit must be either very atrocious or very Intellectual
not to obtain that distinction, it is launched for an long a term
as possible. One hundred nights are nothing, a cpiple of
scaions is mething, hut pieces have run bmgor still. Wo
have not . word to say against managers >r this. They keep
shops, and so long as the public will come in and buy, it would
be Quixotic, not to say impertinent, to alter arrangements. It
is bard, however, upon the artists, who hav3 uo oliancB of im-
provjng themselves, and who must become weary and sick of
the monotony ; but then, if. the x»ublic do not demand better
acting, it would be absurd to strive for it. The tragedian ''dm,
for Othello, blacked himself all over that he might enter the
deeper into the spirit of the part, was considered over-
zealous. On this we say nothiug. But we owe, on the
part of the Londoner, a word of acknowledgment to the
manngtr who is good enough to remember that a Lvndoii
audience n ed not be entirely* made up of Philistines and rail¬
way travellers, and that there are souio educated folk in town
who like to go to the play, but who will not attend to see tho a am a
pieces a dozen times. We sav a special word for the Gaiety,
whose director changes his bill ineesflautly, and is rewarded >y

taunt that one person’s money is as good as anybody elsss.

Sir Edwin Landseer, at the Royal Academy, takes place to-day.
The exhibition will be open to the public on Monday next.

M. N. Chevalier has been commissioned by her Majesty,
tlic Prince of Walc3, and the Duke of Edinburgh, to x>roeead
to St. Petersburg, to execute sketches of the ceremonies at the
marriage of the Duke of Edinburgh and the Archdiuhe3$
Marie, and of the BX>ectaeles of interest in connection there¬
with. * It may be remembered that M. Chevalier w*as also com¬
missioned by the Queen to execute pictures of the interior of
St. Paul's and of the procession on the occasion of the thiuks-
giving for the recovery of the Prince, of Wales

Her Majesty lias graciously consented to lend nine pictures

“The Siege of Saragossa,” “The Guerrillas’ Departure,
“Guerrillas’ Return,” “Guerrillas’ Council,” and others—to

The financial success of the fiue-art exhibition in Dundee has
been so considerable that the free library committee hive
authorised the conveners of the exhibition committees to
expend £300 on tbe purchase of pictures towards the formation
of a x >eru,anen ^ art-gallery in Dundee.

Mr. Newton, of the British Museum, sailed from Marseilles

wealth on wages,” Mr. Fawcett arrives at the diHoouraguig
conclusion that it has hitherto been very slight. The cauaes

The’ moat important paper in Fr>i ^r is one on the recent

attaches to a paper, by Sir Henry Thompson, on the disposal of
the body after death, incremation being recommended in lieu of
inhumation. The sanitary' advantagoaof theproposal are obvious;
but, as Sir H. Thompson foresees, the force of custom will long
operate to prevent its being carried into operation. Mr. A. S,
Murray forcibly and ingeniously contends for the antiquity of
the Homeric poems on the ground, of the perfect agreement
of the references to art contained in them with all we know
of the condition of the arts at the period to which they •*•?

LAW AND POLICE.

TRIAL OF THE TICrHBOItXG CLAIMANT FOR PKRJCllV.

The Court reassembled, on Monday, after the Christinas vaca¬
tion. Before Dr. Kenealy resumed his speech tor the defence,
he alluded to the desire expressed by the Lord Chief Justice
at tlio last adjournment—-viz.. that the learned counsel would
be enabled to finish his observations within a working week.
Dr. Kenealy assured the Judges that, while he would use
every reasonable means to confine his remarks within proper
limits, it was impossible for him to pledge himself to six or
any other number of days. The Lord Chief Justice said tho
Court would exorcise its discretion. A good deal of time had
been wasted in dealing with trifling topics, but, as long a* the
learned counsel dealt with important facts ami material i-saes,
there would he no disposition to curtail or abridge hri address
After some further discussion on th*s point. Dr. ICemndy com
tinned his speech, returning tt) the Wappiiig witness** t'.>r th-i
Crown, who. he contended, had no sufficient opportunities >t
knowing Arthur Orton, ami ought not, therefore, to h?, relied
nnon by tho jury. He also argued that tho evidence of Donna
Maria Hnyley, of Melipilla, who recognised tho defendant as
Orton, had been coloured by tho handsome sum she hal re¬
ceived from the prosecution, and was in other resooefcs uu 3 itis~
factor}’. Tho learned counsel then dealt with the other wit-
nesF.CH called to support the Orton theory ; in moit instxneea
quoting their evidence, and pointing out where it was open to
doubt or suspicion. Passing next to Mr. Purcell, lie said h
did not say anything against that gentloinau, as great allowanm
was to he made for him, as, being a stranger in Melipilla, nu l
knowing hardly anything of Spanish, he was at the nnsroy of
the poop}© by whom he was surrounded, and naturally fell
into grievous errors. Regarding the personal appearance of
Orton, lie reminded the jury that he had produced forty-nine
witnesses who deposed to his having high cheek-bones, ears
like those of a kangaroo, and bored for earrings, none of which

} iccuRarities were to bo found in “our fat friend," as he styled
lie client.

Mo$t of Tuesday’s sitting was occupied with reading tables
compiled'by Mr. Cooper Wyhl, showing how many witnesses
had sworn to the extreme size of Orton's hands nud feet, his
pockmarks, his height, and his slovenly appearance. Dr.
Kenealy next read abstracts of the evidence of each witness,
and illustrated them with running comments. Except one
brief remark from Mr. Hawkins, and one or two almost as
brief from the Judges, the learned Doctor was uninterrupted
dining the whole day, rave by the soniewliat pertinent queries
and observations of cue or two of the jury, who follow with
the df flest attention all that is said. Tho Lord Chief Justice
was absent in consequence of a severe cold.

Lord Chief Justice Cockburn was again absent on Wednes¬
day through indiapositiou. Dr. Kenealy continued I 113 speech
for the defence, his observations during the greater part of the
day lieing directed to an analysis of what is known as the Orton
evidence in this case. Dr. Kenealy reverted to the foreman’s
statement about earring marks being eradicable, when the foro-
*Vtajj staled that liia own ears had been pierced and showed no
marks. In referring to liia client the learned counsel instanced
his ^dependent treatment of his friends as a prd j (^iptrician
recklessness. “ThrmrrU n r -.--a*j, c jj ( .•

Alderman Besley had before him at Guildhall, on Tuesday, a
shoem ak cr named Michael II ill, who, though extremely poor—aud,
indeed, homeless—seems to take a warm interest in theological
controversy. An uitra-Protestant, named Stone, who keeps a
cofice-shop in Jbishopsgate and who labours under the painful
unpviSfticn that there are now “ 15,000 women in dungeons in
England, pining and dying for their liberty," has adorned hi*
windows w ith certain placards denunciatory of convents, and
ji. ho*highly otlensive to the Roman Catholics of the nuighbour-
l.rrd. Of these Hill is one, and he has demonstrated his feel¬
ings towards Mr. Stone by breaking liis windows. The prisoner
was fined Is. for the offence and £3 for the damage, or, in
default, a month’s imprisonment, w ith hard labour.

Abraham Hagetoran, a Dutchman, was charged at Bow-
ftreet, on Monday, with embezzling diamonds and other pre-
cu.ns stems and jewellery to the amount of £300 ), belonging

kis partner, Alexander Bernard Reap, diamond merchant, of
( lokcnu t !I The prisoner entered iuto partnci'ahip with the
] rosecr.tcr in April, 187*2. It was arranged that the former
shcr.M go to the Cape for three years, accompanied by Mr.
E» op, jun., for the purppso of purchasing diamonds. He was
to forward them to the prosecutor, who was to remain in London
to polish aud set the atones. These were then to he sent back
to the prisoner at the Cape, where he was to sell them and
Ri.rr.uiit for the proceeds to his partner. This was done until
1/^t July, when the prisoner sent a letter stating that he was
going again to the diamond-fields to try to sell tlio last two or
three consignments of jewellery, hut, owing to the slackness of
tie maiket, he did not think he should bo able to do ao profit¬
ably. After that nothing more was heard of him until the pro-
Sicutor received information that a ship called the Walinor
(’nstlehad arrived at Liverpool "with the iirisoncr on hoard,
fi l.e jursccutor went to Liverpool with a detective, wlioarreste l

w granted. Tlie prisoner denied the charge entirely.

Mr. Edwin GiDc*pv Kemp, living at Addison*gardens,
Fonth Kcrsingtrn, waacliarged, on remand, at Bow-street, on
Monday, with forging a deed of conveyance. It is alleged by
the prosecution that the prisoner has obtained sums of money
< n mortgage by producing forged deeds. Evidence having been
given to support two charges of this nature, relatiugto property
at Clevedcn and Gordano, in Somersetshire, Mr. Flowers com¬
mitted the prisoner for trial. The prisoner reserved his defence.

M. Julius Mosenthal, a merchant, who w\is arrested in tho
Hayuiaikct for brandishing a sword, to the danger of the lieges,
when taken to Vine-street police station, demanded medical
evident e ns io his condition. The doctor who was sent for pro-
uouVced him drunk, and the magistrate, being of the same
opinion, fined him Cd., plus 7s. fid. for the doctor's fee.

Mr. Walters, of Red Lion-street, Holborn, has obtained, at
Cl ci ken well, a magisterial decision adverse to cabmen who
charge for conveying more than the number their vehicles are
b’ceiiEcd to hold. The principle of the ruling was that even
cabman could not be allowed to take advantage of his own wrong.

commencement of “My Mother and I," a new serial story by
the authoress of “John Halifax,” bcdonging to the thoroughly
domestic class of fiction, to which her powers have recently
been confined. Two fresh series of papei-3 of much interest
are also commenced in Mr. Augustus Hare’s “Days nenr

expedition of the Challenger; and there are pleasing poetical
contributions from Mrs. C'raik, Miss Betham-Edwards. an l Mr.

no especial features, but may be described as creditable pro¬
ductions on the model of Good Words, and, like it, adapted
for a numerous public. Town and Country and the Charing
Cr< Magazine are new adventures—neither, we fear, destined
to be prosecuted for very long.

Moi day, as to whether there should be a public display of fire-
woiks at tho expense of the Corporation on the occasiou of the
maiib ie «.f the Dnke of Edinburgh to tho Grand Duchess of

to expend £150.

By direction of the Master of the Mint, a circular lias been
issued to bankers asking for information upon the following
questions ^yhether florins only should be continued to be
coined, and half-erOwms gradually withdrawn from circulation ;
whether half-crowns only should be issued, with a view to the
eventual withdrawal of the florin ; or whether it was desirable
to issue both coins concurrently. The circular states that the
number of florins iu circulation is 41,500,000, and of half-

co\ery of the hank forgers, has made an apportionment of the

Mr. Ramsdcn, a coffee merchant, was sued in the Lord
Mayor a Court for the maintenance of his wife, from whom ho

Remanding a prisoner who was chained with bein'* drunk
wiulo in charge of a van, and driving over a foot-pas 3 enger, the
Lord Mayor observed that the prevalent idea among a certain
class of men intrusted with horses is that people attempting to
cross a roadway on foot are mere trespassers, but that this
fancy is a complete hallucination. In the present case his
Lordship declined to take bail.

At the Mansion House, on Saturday, William Henry Black¬
burn. formerly a clerk in the telegraph department of the Man¬
chester Lost Office, was further examined on a charge of having

Four milksellers, living at Crouch-end and Hornsey, and
whose names were Osborn, Gardener, Thornton, and Walker,
were Himinoned before the Ilighgato magistrates, ou Monday,
for filling adulterated milk. Dr. Theophilus Redwood cerfci-
tified that in Osborn’s case there was 20 per cent of water, in
Oaioem r’s 10 per coni, in Thornton’s 12 per cent, in Walker’a
24 per cent, in each case the milk was paid for at the rate of

For knocker-wrenching and lamp-smashing, at Nottiug hill,

After having received the admiring tributes of many
persons, for a supposed act of courageous fidelity, Mary
lb eves, a domestic servant in the household of the Rev.
William Kendall, of Castle Town, .Stafford, has confessed that
the burglar who knocked her down three times, and who left a
portion of hie blood behind him on a window-sill, was a fictitious
character, evolved from the depths of her moral consciousness.

A gang of counterfeit coiners was brought up at the Bir¬
mingham Police Court on Monday. They all lived togefcb zr
in the Vauxhall-road. The police found three of the prisoner
iii tlie garret, polishing counterfeit shillings. The room war
fitted up as a workshop, and contained melting ladles, moulds,
an electric battery for silvering the coins, and all the tools and
requisites for carrying ou the manufacture of base coin. A-
1 rge packet «*f finished plated shillings was found ready to be
circulated. There were moulds for other coins.

Mere than ordinary brutality having been proved against

The evening amusements on deck, where a
large audience is frequently assembled around
the foremast to hear the best comic singer in
the regimental company, or perhaps a sailor of
the ship’s crew, who is gifted with the talent
of musical mimicry, present a good example of
the soldier’s life when at sea. An old coat of
civilian fashion or livery, a battered old hat
and cotton umbrella, breeches or trousers
tucked up in a ludicrous manner, with a
coloured neckerchief, make up the regular stage
attire for one of those droll character snugs
which excite much laughter when skilfully
performed.

ROYAL ACADEMY GOLD MEDAL
' GROUP.

To the group we have engraved was awarded
the gold medal for sculptnre in the recent
biennial competition of the students of the Royal
Academy. The medal also carried with it a
prize in books for the “best composition in
sculpture,” and a scholarship of £’25, to be
heiu for two years. The subject selected by
the Academy for competition was, “ Ranthea
stabs herself over the Dead Body of her hus¬
band, Abradates 55 —the pathetic story told in
Nenophon’s Cyropjedia, book vii, chap. 3. The
group was to be in the round, baked or cost in
plaster, and to the scale of 3 ft. The reader
may form some idea from our Engraving of the
symmetrical composition and artistic treatment
the subject. The prize-winner was Mr.
'William White, a young sculptor of great pro¬
mise. He was Lorn at Jvilburn, in 1845;
studied under the eminent sculptor Mr. J. H.
Foley, R.A., from 1304 to l86tJ; entered-the
Royal Academy in 1866 ; and carried oif the
first silver medal in the antique school, and the
Restoration Medal in I860.

LIFE-BOAT SERVICES.

A meeting of the Royal National Life-Boat
Institution was held, on Thursday, at its
house, John-street, Adelphi—Mr. Thomas
Chapman, F.R.S., Y.P., iu the chair. Mr.
George Lyall, ex-Governor of the Bank of
England, was unanimously elected the deputy
chairman of the committee of management, and
the Right Hon. Stephen Cave, M.P., one of
the trustees of the institution in succession
to the late Mr. Thomas Baring, M.P. Mr.
Richard Levis, the secretary, having read the
minutes of the previous meeting, rewards
amounting to £S4 were afterwards voted to
the crews of dillcrent life-boats of the insti¬
tution for services rendered during tho past
month. Various rewards were likewise granted
to the crews of shore-boat3 for saving life Lorn
wrecks on our coasts ; and payments to tho
amount of £2142 were ordered to be made on
different life-boat establishments. Several con¬
tributions and legacies were announced. New
life-boats have been forwarded by the institu¬
tion during the past month to Seaton Carew,
Durham, and to Skerries, in the county of
Dublin. Tho British and Irish Steam-Packet
Company had kindly granted the last-named
boat a iree conveyance to Dublin. It was
decided to form a new life-boat station at
Lydd, near Duugeness, not far from where the
•Northlieet foundered with such a terrible loss
of life. The boat is to be named after Mr.
David Huletfc, of Holborn, who lias undertaken
to defray the cost of the Hfe-boafc establish¬
ment. Reports were read from Captain ,T. R.
Ward, R.A., the inspector, and Captain D,
Robertson, R.N., the assistant inspector of
life* *boats to the institution, on their recent
visits to the coasts.

CHRISTMAS AT THE MIDDLESEX
HOSPITAL.

The patients, officers, and servants of the
Middlesex Hospital were entertained ou Christ¬
mas Eve with a pleasant social party, in
which there was a Christmas-tree, bearing on
its branches a variety of little gifts from ia lies
who feel an interest in the hospital. A nume¬
rous company of friends, both ladies an 1
gentlemen, snared in the seasonable festivity
upon this occasion : tea was provided in tho
board-room. We wish particularly just now
to recommend the Middlesex Hospital to pub¬
lic support, which it really wants : the annual
subscriptions amount to not more than 0$?)%
while the expenditure has been increased by
some necessary works of imppySment. The
number of inmates received throughout tho
year is more than 2000, while the out-p'ttienfcs
exceed 20,000, suffering from accidents or ill-♦
nesses of various kinds. Tliei

Middlesex Hospital was first established, in
1745, in Windmill-street, Tottenham-court-
road, for sick and lame persons, and for lying-
in married women. It was removed, iu 1755,
to its present site at the top of Bemers-stroct.
Since 1S07 the midwifery patients, instead of
being received as inmates, are attended at
their own homes by the medical officers
of the hospital, to the number of nearly
a thousand yearly. The cancer wards were
founded by a gift of £4000 from. Mr. Samuel
Whitbread, in 1807, to which other gifts
and legacies were added. A remarkable inci¬
dent in tlie history of the hospital is that in
1703 it became a refuge for mauy of the
French Royalist emigrants driven from Franco
by the Jacobin Reign of Terror. The buildings
were enlarged by new wings constructed in
1775, and again in 1834. The late Lord
Robert Seymour, a zealous and munificent
friend of this institution, obtained for it the
Royal patronage of George IV., which is con¬
tinued by her present Majesty. The medical
school, established in 1S35, enjoys a high repu¬
tation : it is furnished with a museum of valu¬
able collections. The chief physicians are Dr.
Henry Thompson, Dr. Greenhow, and Dr.
Livcing, with Dr. Hall Davis, physician-
accoucheur, and three assistants. The surgeons
are Messrs. De Morgan, Nunn, Hulke, and
Lawson, with assistants. Mr. R. id. Lucas is
the resident medical officer, and Messrs. F. W.
Lewis and Hatnmond Smith are the house
surgeons. The remaining staff is numerous
and complete, under the direction of an efficient
medical committee.

Ai t an early hour on Friday week, at North
Shields, the Gipsy Queen, a small steamer with
four hands, was taking a number of dredgers
to their work, when the steersman ran her
on a sunken wreck. She went down in five
minutes. All the crew were drowned, as well
as fourteen of her forty-two passengers. The
scene was a terrible one. The cries of the
drowning could he heard for a great distance.
A man w ho w as going up the water in a small
boat to dredge for coals picked up six men,
and the dredgers’ boat puc off and saved ten.
The accident occurred m a lonely part of the
river, away from where ships are moored, and
there w as little chance of help ; but it was so
sudden that, even if there had been vessels
near, they could have rendered little assist¬
ance. For five or ten minutes after the acci¬
dent the boat that had saved six men pulled
round the scene of the catastrophe, but, except
some loose wood w ashed off the -steam-boat’s
deck, nothing could be observed. Four of the
men who are saved, though they burnt their
hands very much by doing so, held by the
boat's funnel until they w ere taken off by the
Commissioners’ boat; aud another man, John
Dunn, was rescued by the master’s (M ‘Nay)
retriever dog. The dog headed towards the
shore, and Dunn clung to it, but so as not to
force it under water and drown it, helping it
as they went along with his feet— indeed,
using the dog as a life- buoy. They were both
saved by the dredging-boat. A Coroner’s jury
has returned a verdict that the Gipsy Queen
was run on a sunken hopper by bad naviga¬
tion. Sixteen widows and fifty-six orphans
arc thrown on the world by this event.

Last week 1702 births and 1540 deaths were
registered in London. Alter making due allow¬
ance for increase of population, the births
were 352, wul the deaths 156, below the ave¬
rage numbers in the corresponding week of
tke last ten years. The Christum* holidays
have doubtless to some ext-ut delayed tuj
registration of both births aud deaths. The
sm.ur.1 ueath iat e from all causes, which in the

I three previous weeks bad been equal to 23, 2/,
and 28 per 1000, declined again last week to
24. The unfavourable effect upon the London
I mortality exc-rcised by the luvv temperature

and fog which prevailed duriug the week end-

j nig the 14th ult. appears to have passed away.

| In the large provincial towns, where the same
cold weather was unaccompanied by fog, tho
increase in the mortality was slight compared
with that which occurred iu London. The
1540 deaths included 2 from smallpox, H>7
from measles, 17 from scarlet fever, 3 from
diphtheria, 53 from whooping-cough, 28 from
dilferent forms of fever, ami 7 from diarrheea.
Thus, to the seven principal diseases of the
zymotic class 217 deaths were referred, against
numbers increasing from 232 to 314 in the four
preceding weeks. These 217 deaths were 71
below the corrected average numbers from
the same diseases in the corresponding week
of the last ten years. The deaths from measles
were again excessive, while the fatal cases of
each of the six other zymotic diseases were
below F the average. The weather wai com¬
paratively mild throughout last week, and
the mean temperature exceeded the average
n each of the seven days; the mean for tho
week was 424) deg., and 5 deg. above the
average. The deaths referred to diseases of
the respiratory organs aud phthisis, which in
the three previous weeks had been 520, 764,
and 1112, declined again last week to 642,
and only exceeded the corrected average weekly
number by 56. Of these 642 deaths 352 were
returned from bronchitis, 13S from phthisis, 87 |
from pneumonia, and 32 from asthma. To
different forms of violence 50 deaths were
referred; 44 were the result of negligence or
accident, including 16 from fractures and con¬
tusions, 5 fr om bum3 aud scalds, 8 from
drowning, and 13 from suffocation, including
12 of infants under one year of age. Five
cases of suicide and 1 of infanticide were regis¬
tered. Five of the deaths from fractures and
contusions, resulting from negligence or acci¬
dent, were caused by horses or vehicles in the

streets.-During last week 4280 births and

3556 deaths were registered in London and
twenty other large cities and towns of the
United Kingdom. The natural increase of
population was 724. The mortality from all
causes in these towns was at the rate of 25
deaths annually to every 1000 persons living.
The annual rate w r as 20 per 1000 in Edin¬
burgh, 28 in Glasgow, and 17 in Dublin.

HMS. EUPEKT.

This ironclad ram and turret-ship, which is a twin-screw
steamer, was launched at Chatham Dockyard in March of last

I.lf * She has since been fitted at -Portsmouth Dockyard, and
has during the past month, made her trials of speed with fair
success, doing twelve knots an hour. The Rupert was designed
l>v the Department of the Controller of the Navy, Admiral bar
Spencer Robinson being then Controller, and Mr. E. J. Reed
Chief Constructor. She has the following dimensions Length
between perpendiculars, 250 ft.; breadth, extreme, 53 ft.; depth
of hold, 19ft. 10in. ; draught of water, forward, 21 ft. Cm.,

12 in. of teak and 1| in. of iron as an inner skin. The annour-
i'kiting extends to 5 ft. below the load water line, the lower
stroke of armour being 3 ft. wide and 9 in. thick. The breast¬
work which protects the lower parts of the turret and funnel,
and the hatchways to engines and boilers, is about 9G ft. long,

It is made up of twelve armour-plates, on a backing of teak
12 in. thick and an iron skin II in. thick, with 10-in. angle-

from which the ship can be steered. The^ turret, which is
placed just abaft the foremast, is 22 ft. 4 in. internal diameter,

backing. The aggregate thickness of armour plates is 14 in. in
front and l2in. in the rear. The whole is backed with II in.
of iron and 10|-in. angle-iron frames. The lower-deck beams
arc covered with 3 in. protective deck-plating. The total
weight of armour, including tlio protecting deck-plating,

CUKIOUS WILLS.

(Contributed by the Author of “ Flemish Interiors.)

WILL OF PEN EDO, THE PORTUGUESE JEW.

This remarkable Israelite, well known in Amsterdam for his
enormous wealth and liberal donations, died about tbo middle
of the last century. His will, testifying to a noble and
generous nature, and disposing of tho very large fortune he had
made, in the most magnanimous and tolerant spirit, is to be
found (in Schutt’s “Memorabilia Judaica,”lib. iv. cap. 18) as
follows :—

“I bequeath to the city of Amsterdam the sum of fivo tons
of gold. ♦

“ I lend to the said city for ten years, and without interest,
the sum of a million and a half of florins.

“I give to the Christian church at Amsterdam and at the
Hague Hie sum of 10,000 florins each, and to the church at tbo
southern part of Amsterdam 20,000 florins.

“ I give to each Christian orphanage in the two towns the
sum of 10,000 crowns.

“I give to the poor of Amsterdam forty shiploads of peat.

“I give to the orphan who shall first quit the orphanage
1000 florins, and to the one who shall follow, 600 florins.

“I give to the synagogue at Amsterdam two and a half
* tons ’ of gold.

“ I give to the Portuguese orphanage 30,000 crowns.

“1 lend to the Government at 3 per cent interest, ten
‘ tons ’ of gold on condition that the interest shall be paid to

AN ORIENTAL WILL.

Interesting to record is the last will and testament of the
celebrated Saladin, bom in 1136 and died in 1193, after Idling
the two continents of Euroi>e and Asia with his fame.

Sultan of Egypt, lie conquered Syria, Arabia, Persia, Meso¬
potamia, and took possession of Jerusalem in 1187. Iiis con¬
quests suffice to enable us to judge of tho extent of Ins pow T cr
and wealth ; at his death, however, he showed that no one was
more intimately convinced of the utter hollowness of the nehes
and greatness of the world.

He ordered, by his will, first, that considerable sums should
be distributed to Mussulmans, Jews, and Christians, in order
that the priests of tho three religions might implore the mercy
of God for him ; next he commanded that the shirt or tunic he
should be wearing at the time of bis death should be earned on
the end of a spear throughout the whole camp, and at tho head
of his army, and that the soldier who bore it should pause at
intervals and say aloud, “ Behold all that remains of tbo
Emperor Saladin ! Of all the States he had conquered ; of all
the provinces be had subdued ; of the boundless treasures ho
had amassed ; of the countless wealth he possessed; he retained,
in dying, nothing but this shroud ! ”

GENERAL SIR A. ROBERTS.

General Sir Abraham Roberta, K.C.B., died on Sunday, at
Clifton, at the age of ninety years. The deceased General, who
entered the Army in 1S00, served in the Indian campaigns of
that and the succeeding two years ; in the Nepaul war of IS 14 ;
commanded a brigade throughout the campaigns of 1833 and
IS31) in Afghanistan, and was present at the storming and
capture of Ghuznee.

GENERAL PIPER.

General Robert Sloper Piper, an old Peninsular officer, died
at Brighton, on the 26th ult., in his eighty-fourth year. The
deceased had served six campaigns in the Peninsula, Frauce,
and Flanders, from March, 1810, to January, 1316. From 1810
to 1812 he was employed in the lines of Lisbon and Almeida,
and from January, 1812, to the conclusion of hostilities in 1815,
held the command of a division of a pontoon train. In June,
1816, he proceeded to Ceylon, East indies, and subsequently

Mrs. Bradford, who died, on the 18th ult., at Taney House,
Dundnim, near Dublin, at the great ago of ninety-eight, was
the daughter of Captain Edward Wilmot (of the Osmaston
branch of that family in Derbyshire) and Martha Moore, his
wife. In her youth she was the dearest friend—it may almost
he said the adopted daughter—of Princess Daechkaw, with
whom she lived in Russia from the spring of 1803 till the out¬
break of the war between England and Russia in 1807. At
her suggestion, the Princess wrote her memoirs. To her they
were dedicated, and by her they were published in English, in
1840. They attracted considerable attention as the portrait of
one of the most original and striking characters at the Court of
Catherine II., and as, perhaps, the best existing picture of
Russian society at the close of the last and the beginning of the
present century. Miss Wilmot married the Rev. W. Bradford,
the editor of the correspondence of Charles V,, and for many
years Rector of Storrington, in Sussex ; and after his death she
lived with her daughters in Ireland. • Gifted with a memory of
far more than ordinaiy power, with great social talents, and
with a disposition singularly bright, winning, and affectionate,
she retained them all unclouded and midiminished to the end.

£300 and £-100 will bo awarded for stock.

1 he inaugural ceremony connected with the opening of the
Cambridge Working Classes Industrial Exhibition and Fine-
Art Collection was held, yesterday week, in the presence of a
number of distinguished ladies and gentlemen. The building
appropriated to tho exhibition is the Barnwell Workmen’s
Hail, situated in a locality at one time noted for its immorality.
The articles deposited consist principally of the productions of
workmen, pictures, curiosities from Egypt and the Holy Land,
carving and woodwork, Chinese and Indian curiosities, ncedle-
v ork textures, and models. Tho whole has been insured at
£2000. Lord George Manners, senior member for the county of
Cambridge and president of the exhibition, presided ; and the
meeting was addressed by bis Lordship, the Town Clerk, Dr
Campion (Queen’s), Mr. Humphreys (Trinity), and others.

The work of external restoration, which has been going on
nuictly and leisurely at the Archbishop’s Palace at Lambeth
during the past three years, under the auspices of the Eccle¬
siastical Commissioners, is now approaching completion, the
lower story of one side of the great western tower, known
as Cardinal Morton’s Tower, alone awaiting the finishing touch
of the restorer’s hand. The whole of the brick and stonework
of the “Lollards’ Tower” has been externally renewed, the
flooring has been repaired, and one or two rooms have been
subdivided in order to fit it up for its present purpose—
namely, as the town residence of tho Bishop of Lichfield and
of his brother, Canon Selwyn ; but the rooms which formerly
formed the prison of tho “Lollards” and other “heretics”
have been allowed to remain in statu quo, on account of the
historic interest which attaches to them. The roof and the
outer nulls of the great hall, in the centre, which now serves
as the library, have also been subjected to a similar process ;
and, proceeding westwards, the Morton Tower, or as it was
formerly and is often still called, the “Great Gate,” is all but
completed. The present gateway, which was built in a.d.
1400, by Cardinal Morton, is massive in size and of great
strength, and resembles the entrance of a castle rather than an
episcopal palace. Before its doors, every week down to the
preseat hour, a bounty or “dole ” of money, bread, and pro¬
visions is given to thirty poor parishioners of Lambeth, ten
receiving it in turn on different days. We may add that the
Archbishop allows the library to be open to students, and,
indeed, to all respectable persons, on application, every Mon¬
day, Wednesday, and Friday in the year, vacations excepted.
Tho books and MSS. have undergone a complete repair, by a
special grant from tho Ecclesiastical Commissioners. To the
list of archiepiscopal portraits at Lambeth have been lately
added those of Archbishops Sumner and Longley; the latter, I
by Richmond, is hung in the drawing-room. I

ROYAL INSTITUTION LECTURES.

PROPAGATION OF SOUND.

Professor Tyndall gave the lirst of a course of six lectures
(adapted to an educated juvenile auditory) on tho Motion ami
Sensation of Sound on Saturday last, lie began by describ¬
ing how the motion of sound had been demonstrated to lie at
the rate of ii Vo seconds per mile by observers out at sea
accurately noting the time which elapses between seeing tho
flash and hearing tho sound of a gun fired on the shore ; and
he stated that it had been proved that when the air is at
the temperature of freezing, tho velocity of sound through it
is 1090 feet a second, while light passes over the distance of
188,000 miles in the same time. The velocity of sound
increases as the temperature rise3 ; in the lecture theatre it
was about 1100 feet a second. The Professor next exhibited
some of the properties of air, the vehicle of Hound. With
regard to weight, he stated that the pressure of the air upon a
square foot of his table, or a slicefcof iiuliarubber, was nearly a ton,
this great weight being sustained by the pressure being cqunl on
all sides. A bladder from which the air was drawn off by the
air-pump collapsed, and when the pressure of the air outside a
bladder containing a little air, was removed tho air within
immediately expanded through its particles repelling each other.
This was also illustrated by an ingeniously-devised model,
composed of a series of balls, separated by springs. When a
sharp stroke, was given to a ball at one end the motion was
communicated through the series, the springs successively cou-
tracted and expanded, and a sound was heard at the other end.
In like manner, said the Professor, wo must figure the propa¬
gation of sound. The noise of an explosion is propagated
as a wave or pulse through tho air. This wave, consist¬
ing of two parts, in one of which the air is condensed
and in the otuer rarefied, strikes upon tho tympanum of our
ear and causes it to shiver ; tremors are transmitted along tho
auditory nerve to the brain, where the -wave announces itself
as sound. The use of the speaking-tube was explained to bo
due to its preventing tho divergence of these waves. After
several striking illustrations the Professor showed that the
shock which wul produce a sound-wave in air will not produce
it in hydrogen, the lightest of gases, while in a vacuum sound
is not propagated at all. When air was admitted into the ex¬
hausted receiver of an air-pump, sound was once more per¬
ceptible. The Professor then proceeded to prove to the eye
that sound may be reflected like light, the angle of incidence
being equal to tho angle of reflection, for which purpose he em¬
ployed a gas-flame, which he showed to be extremely sensitive
to sounds, such as chirruping, tho rattling of money, and even
the ticking of a watch. In experimenting with tho delicate
waves of light he required a mirror, but with the larger waves
of sound a board covered with paper was sufficient for the
reflective surface, and the dancing of the sensitive flame demon¬
strated the reflection of tho sound as soon as it was produced.
Other most interesting phenomena were exhibited by means of
curved mirrors, the electric light, and other apparatus ; and it
was shown that sound has what may be termed a shadow as
well as light. Tho chief of the experimental illustrations of
this course of lectures are entirely new,

MUSICAL SOUNDS.

Professor Tyndall began his second lecture, on Tuesday last,
with illustrated explanations of the nature of waves of sound,
as compared with water waves. The propagation of a wavo ho
showed to be merely tho propagation of a form. The particle
of water which at one moment occupies tho crest of tho wave
is immediately afterwards iu the furrow of the wave, whenco it
rises again to occupy for a moment tho crest of the succeeding
wavo. Each particle has an up and down motion. Water waves

to an irregular succession of sonorous shocks ; the latter,
musical sound, to sonorous shocks following each other at
regular intervals with a sufficient rapidity of succession. After
showing rings and lines of light produced by rapid motion of
any source of light, and attributing them to persistence of tho
Jiuage of the light on the retina of our eyes, the Professor
stated that a musical sound depends on the continiianco of the
vibrations concerned in its production. By placing a sm • l
mirror on the prong of a timing-fork, and causing °a slem
beam of the electric light to pass through a converging
lens and then fall on tho mirror, the beam was thrown
back by reflection, and by means of a small lookir -
glass a luminous disc was projected on a white screen. When
the fork w r as excited by a fiddle-bow sinuous lines of light
were produced. For tins beautiful method of giving optical
expression to sound, of which several examples were .raven, wo
are indebted to M. Lissajous. Professor Tyndall, having stated
that a musical sound may bo produced by a rapid and regular
succession of taps, such as those of a card against tho cog 4 of
a rotating wheel, selected, as an interesting example, the shrill
tones produced by the rocking of a piece of hot brass upon a
piece of lead, attributed bv Faraday to the alternate expansion
and contraction of the cold metal at the points where the hot
rocker descends upon it. He next showed, by means of a disc
of zinc perforated by holes, how a musical sound may be pro¬
duced by a succession of puffs of air; and then explained tho
construction of tho “syren,” an instrument by which such
pufls may bo generated. This instrument, the invention of
Lagmard do la Tour, has been greatly improved by Dove and
others, but especially by Helmholtz; and now, by means of
clockwork and a dial attached to tho syren, the rate of vibra¬
tion of any sounding body may be accurately determined. It
is only necessary to bring the sound of the syren into unison
with the other sound and tho number of vibrations per second
is given on the dial. The pitch of a musical note depends
solely on the number of vibrations concerned in its production •
tho more rapid the vibrations the higher the pitch.

T. Brassey, M.P., has written to one of bis temperarce
constituents at Hastings repudiating the principle of tho For-
missive Bdl, but indicating other amendments of the licensin '
system, which ho believes to be reasonable and practicable uZ
would impose restrictions on the granting of new licenses ’ lin

Since the issue of our last Number the coup-d^tat at
Madrid has furnished the public with tlie main topic of
talk. Senor Castelars Dictatorship has been brought ta
a sudden close. The Cortes have been dissolved. Marshal
Serrano is now at the heaxl of affairs, as President of the
Executive Power of the Spanish Republic. A new
Ministry has been appointed, under Ids authority;
another page of Spanish history has been turned over.

How this sudden incident has been brought about
remains a secret for the present. The public steps which
led to it are. it is true, open to tlie sight of admen*
Tlie intrigues of which they are but the outward expres¬
sion. and which must have been some time past in active
operation, it will be for the future to disclose. The
immediate occasion of the military explosion wluch has
once more shaken political society in Spain to its centre
was the unpatriotic impracticability of the Cortes.
The members reassembled on Friday week, after a four
months' adjournment, to which they had been per*
suaded by Castelars eloquence to give their assent.
They listened to the message of the virtual'Dictator, in
which he described with glowing force the difficulties
with which he had had to grapple, the measure of snese^
which had attended his efforts, the steps which Still
remain to be taken, and the hopes he cherished in regard
to the future Republic, A motion was thereupon sub¬
mitted expressing approval of Castelars past work, n id
confidence in his administration. Tile motion was
negatived by a considerable majority, twice expressed in
varied form. Seuov Castelar forthwith, resigned h‘3
post. Meanwhile, however, the proceedings in
Cortes got wind, and a report of them was carried
to General Pavia, Military Commandant of Madrid
Without losing ajnoment, that officer marched a strong
force of the garrison uuder his authority to

steps of the building occupied by the Cortes. He took
w ith him some pieces of artillery, the months of which he
turned towards the Hall. Then, sending in to the
President of the Cortes a message by his aide-de-camp,
he bade him dissolve the Assembly, or it would be dis¬
solved by force. Of course, there was no little con¬
sternation. Some, indeed, talked of resistance ; but two
shots were fired in the air, and the order of the day,
instantly acted upon with entire unanimity, was sauce
(jvi ju uL The Hall was cleaved, its gates were closed,
and General Pavia, calling around him the principal
leaders of parlies, left it to them to form a Government
capable of carrying on the political affairs of the
Republic. Against this high-handed act Senor Castelar 1
has since vehemently protested. He describes it as >
“ the brutal act of violence committed against the j
Constitutional Cortes by the Captain-General of Madrid,”
and he declares that “ while he cannot associate with
demagogues, he cannot, on the other hand, identify him- j
self with a condition of affairs which lias been created
by the force of bayonets.”

We are glad that Senor Castelar has thus publicly
cleared himself pi all connivance at the plot which Inis
upset his own authority. It cannot but be admitted,
however, that the intractable temper of a majority of the
Cortes, although it cannot justify this forcible interven¬
tion of the Captain-General, presented an almost irre¬
sistible provocation thereto, even to patriotic minds. We
are the less surprised, therefore, that the coup-dutat has
1 ctn accepted with a show of readiness by the provinces.
There have been slight disturbances, it is true, in a few
of the great cities, hut they have been very easily sup¬
pressed". The truth is, the conduct of the Cortes reduced
matters to the single alternative of utter ruin to the
country or illegal suppression of the existing Constituent
Assembly. There seems reason to believe—'at any rate,
it was generally believed—that the majority had made
up its mind to undo all that Castelar, with infinite
labour and with some success, had already done towards
the restoration of order throughout the Peninsula ;
that it had a secret understanding with the Litransi-
g cutes of Carthngena, whose rebellion it intended to con¬
done; that it was deeply tainted with the divided
principles represented by that party: that; it was even
pan suing its ends in concealed concert with the Cariists;
and that it was prepared to throw the country into utter
confusion, w ith a view’ to the ultimate accomplishment of
its ends. There may be—there probably w as—no little
exaggeration in these surmises; but they seemed to be
corroborated by the proceedings of the Cortes. Imme¬
diately on the revival of tlieir power General Pavia took

(.i trci vires, and has introduced the element of military
coercion into a system based upon civil law and authority.
JJJs conduct will he judged rather by the event than by (
the rules of technical propriety; and, even should history
absolve him from crime, it will probably have to recog¬
nise countless inconveniences w hich have resulted from
his precipitation.

The entire transaction, from beginning to end, has
been hard upon Senor Castelar. To a certain extent,
undoubtedly, the host of difficulties with which he has
had to contend were the offspring of his own earlier
exertions. He helped to make the rule of King Amadeus
impossible. He exulted over the abdication of that Con¬
stitutional monarch. He attached supreme importance
to a Republican form of Government. He was more
conversant with political speculations thau with human
nature. He was too impatient of results. There is no
reason in the world for doubting the purity of liis
motives. That lie is a genuine patriot will be admitted
even by his foes. But he seems to have trusted too
much to the surpassing power of his oratory—too little
to the gradual development of sound principles. When,
therefore, supreme office was confided to him, it became his
inevitable lot to find himself baffled by that impatience
which, unconsciously perhaps to himself, he had done but
too much to excite. It remains to his enduring credit tliat
lie did not shrink from trying a fall with his own theoretic
conclusions. For several months lie had been heroically
intent upon restoring public order without violating the
forms of political liberty, wiien he found himself over¬
borne by the less patriotic factions with 'which he had
been once associated. Some progress he had made
towards the realisation of his designs. Some con¬
siderable hold he had got upon the sympathy and aspect
of his countrymen. But he had neither succeeded as
yet in quelling the insurrection at Carthagena nor in
putting an end to the Carlist risings in the north. He
might have done both if he hud* been loyally seconded
even by his own political party. He may even yet
figure in history among tho great men of Spain. But for
the present he is superseded. Other men have “entered
into his labours.” We only hope that their motives may
prove to be as honest as liis, and that they will carry to
success the work in which lie lias failed.

The Hon. Eliot Thomas Yorke, brother of the late Earl of
Hardwicke, has resigned the chairmanship of the Cambridge¬
shire Quarter Sessions, which he filled for thirty-four years.

The Roman Catholic Bishop of Salford has begun a “crusade ”
Against intemperance, and the inaugural sendee was held in the
cathedral on Sunday. The Bishop appeals to the whole body
of Catholics, clergy as well as laity, to join in a “ holy crusade ”
Against the vice of intemperance.

band playing the English National Anthem. Tho Duke was
received with great enthusiasm by the people. Tho Duke lias
been appointed a Colonel of the Prussian army, attached to the
95th Infantry Regiment of Coburg-Gotha.

THE BENGALEE GRAIN-SELLER.

The newspapers present for our reading a sorrowful controversy
among writers of Indian experience upon the sufficiency of the
measures for relieving the terrible distress presently expected
from the failure of the rice and grain crops iu Bengal. We
are anxious to contribute our part to direct public attention to
the subject, with a view to such efforts for a partial mitigation
of this vast amount of human misery as may be found within
the reach of voluntary beneficence ; while we hope that tho
British Government of India will be wisely advised to use its
fullest powers vvith the utmost activity and m the most judicious
maimer. The first of_ a series of Illustrations, from the pencil
of an Artist who resided and travelled during two years in
India, appears in our front-page Engraving. It represents the
common Baniah, or grain-seller, w eighing out a small quantity
of corn for his poor customers in the street or market. Rice is
the chief article of food only in Lower Bengal, and in some
other districts along the coast, or where the fields can be over-
llowed, in ordinary seasons, with such an abundance of water
from great rivers as is needful to produce this crop. The inha¬
bitants of the Upper Provinces, and of Central India, subsist
upon other kinds of grain, such as wheat, barley, maize, and
pease, or tho cheaper grain called hajim, w’hich is much used
by the labouring classes. They seldom taste any kind of liesh-
meat, though it is an error to suppose that animal food is
entirely prohibited by the Hindoo religion. Sugar, curdled
milk, and boiled butter or ghee, may be used by those who can
a fford such luxuries to ff avour their rice or porridge. As a rule,
they are water-drinkers, but aro fond of smoking tobacco and
chewing the betel-leaf. Such are the simple habits of the
people, leaving them no lower scale of provisions to fall back
upon, iu cate of a scarcity of their usual articles of diet.

THE ASHANTEE WAR:

The voyage to the Gold Coast of West Africa in the mail
steam-packct Volta has been accomplished by our Special
Artist, Mr. Melton Prior, who writes to us from Cape Coast
Castle, and sends a number of sketches of that place, and of
the preparations for Sir Garnet Wolseley’s campaign. We shall
give seme of them next week ; in the mean time, we present a
view of Free Town, Sierra Leone, carefully drawn by our
Artist, from on board the steamer while detained the usual
time at that port. A description of Sierra Leone was recently
given in this Journal; it is a rather new settlement, founded
by the British Government some half-century ago, for the re¬
ception of negroes taken out of the captured slave-trading
vessels along the West African coast. The place itself was
known to tho Portuguese navigators four centuries ago, and
was named by them from the imagined resemblanco of the
neighbouring mountain to the shape of a lion. It is a hilly
peninsula, about twenty miles long and twelve broad, at the
mouth of the river Roquelle : the town is built oil the river-
shore, and on the slopes of the hill. The steam-ship Volta is
show n, in our Engraving, as she lay off the town in the river.
To the right, where the high ground falls gently down, by
Wilberforcc and Signal Hill, is the entrance to the open sea.
An Englisli-looking church, with a square tower, in the upper
port of the town, is the cathedral of Sierra Leone, which has
its Bisfiop and other clergy. The Wesleyan chapel, or one
of the two English Methodist places of worship, is near the
cathedral on the right hand. A large and many-windowed
pile of building, like a factory, close to the water’s od>o,
is that for the Commissariat Stores; behind it are tho
Custom House, ana the Wilberforce Testimonial Hall. Barrack
Hill, with its extensive range of buildings for the habitation of
the military, has an open and airy aspect, but they are not so
healthy as they ought to be. The picturesque conical summits
of the hills above—Sugar Loaf Mountain, Leicester Hill, and
others—must at once strike the eye of a stranger at Sierra
Leone. Their sides are richly wooded, or cultivated and
adorned with hamlets and villas. One building which is seen
there, amidst the surrounding mass of foliage, is called Heddlo’s
Tow er. The East Battery is to the extreme left of our view,
at the mouth of a creek which runs behind part of the town.
It hn S'been repeatedly mentioned that Sierra Leone is now the
seat of general government for all the British possessions iu
West Africa, including the Gambia, the Gold Coast, and
Lagos. The town, nevertheless, has a bad reputation in every
way, and the negro population hero are most disagreeable folk
to deal with. Our Artist took the opportunity to sketch a
party of the overdressed black ladies and idle gentlemen of
African race w r ho came on board the steamer during its stay at
Sierra Leone. Ho also made a sketch of the appearance an d
attitudes of a gang of “Sierra Leone boys,” engaged to work
in unloading tho cargo or shipping stores, when they had a
disputo about an addition to the stipulated wages, and Wx D
using their tongues.

There is little fresli news of the progress of the war, or the
preparations for it. A despatch of the IStli uit., from Cape
Coast Castle, states that a bridge had been constructed over
the river Prah. The troops on board the Tamar and Himalaya
were to land on the 6th Ld, Their health w'as good, and that
of Sir Garnet WolseleyJiad much improved. The death of a
promising young officer, the Hon. Allred C-harteris, is noticed
m Our obituary record. „ .

ILLUSTRATIONS OF THE PANTOMIMES.

1»RURV LANE.

The skill of Mr. E. L. Blanchard in the compos : on of panto¬
mimes has been so fully recognised, and liis facility of execution
so much enhanced by practice for the whole of a quarter of a
century, that the first place is due to him in his capacity of
author, as well as to the theatre with which he lias been so
long identified. We are glad, moreover, to l>e able to recognise
the merits of Mr. F. Evans, w ho sustains the part of Jack-ili¬
the-Box, and whose exit from the chest is represented in our
Illustration. His spring into the air from the trap bespeaks
the skilful acrobat, and his demeanour afterwards abounds in
spoitive suggestion. Humorous gesture and movement are
multiplied and increased, until “children of a larger growth ”
roar as vociferously a9 the tinier infants to whom laughter is as
natural as it is sudden. Men and women become as excited as
cirls and boys. The attitudes of Mr. Brittain Wright and
Miss Harriet Coveney, as Cockalorum the Great, Ring of
Cockaigne, aud Prince Felix, are suggestive of the wonder pro¬
voked bv the-startling apparition with which they are so un¬
expectedly greeted. We know not that wc have anything to
add to our notice of the performance, except to bear testimony
to the general elegance of the arrangements, and the success
which has attended the production. Mr. Chattcrton has most
sedulously provided for lus public a decidedly good Christmas
entertainment.

COVENT GARDEN.

Mr. Charles Rice, the successful manager, of Bradford, has
striven hard to convince the world that he has not miscalculated
his power in undertaking the conduct of Covent-Garden
Theatre. Depending on his pantomime, he lias thought that
no one could do the work better than himself, and has deter¬
mined, at any rate, that it shall be well done. Reel Riding
Hood and her sister Little Bo-Peep find in him their laureate,
who has furnished them with verses and lyrics that truly adorn
the fairy-tale, and slied around the performance a poetic lustro
of the very pleasantest land. Mr. Rice’s pantomime hits a
tragic scene, the story of which we have already told, which
forms the subject of our Illustration. The pictorial surround¬
ing is of itself very charming. The Lily Dell iu the Glow¬
worm Glen is worthy to be the home of the loveliest elves,
but is really the haunt of a voracious dragon. It is the destiny
of Marmion, the brother of Red Riding Hood (Miss Lizzio
Marshall), to wound the Wolf that pursues her to the place, but,
offending fairy law by draw ing blood in the enchanted dell, to
perish himself of his heroic act. The transformation scene
transports all into a better world, where beauty and virtue aro
eternal co-mates. There is a curious tendency in these days to
give solemn morals to the slightest fictions, and make of the
drama a kind of sermon.

It was mentioned by us three weeks ago that the head of
Mr. Walter’s prize heifer, Lady Flora, killed on her removal
from the .Smithfield Club Cattle Show, was preserved and
mounted for an ornamental trophy. Wo Blioula have named
Mr. Edwin Ward, naturalist, of Wigmore-street, who treated
in this manner the head of the Ghillingham w’hite bull, killed
by the Prince of Wales. It was by mistake that we attributed
this work of art to Mr. dames It. Ward, of Piccadilly, whose
treatment of the old lion from the Zoological Society’s Gardens
was so much admired.

The name of Wftbdqr does not now wme

jgSSZ the name ofaBritish officer, aistingnishedfo.-lu,
brilliant deeds against savage enemies. Irish history records the
fan e of a Colonel Wolselcy. In 1C89 he was sent to rescue the
KuniskiUcners from the terrible danger that then menaced them.
The Popish party in Dublin had resolved that an attack should
t?em/ro»_ae^«^^n M d the

Enniskillen men sent off to pray for succour from Kirke.
could spare, no soldiers, says Cord Macaulay; but he > sent arm s,
ammunition, and some experienced officers, of whom the cluet
were Colonel Wolselcy and Lieutenant-Colonel Dory.

The

whole population came down to the shore to greet them. “It
was with difficulty that they could make their way to the
castle through the crowds that hung on them, blessing Cod that
1 out I'iicland had not quite forgotten the Englishmen who
2 upholding ltc/r pause against great odds in the heart or

dear

were upholding Hot pause _ o -

Ireland.” Wolselcy, says the historian, seems to have been m
every respect well qualified for his post. Ho wo« a Rfcanok
Protestant; and had proved his zeal for liberty and true religion
hy causing the Mayor of Scarborough, who had made a
speech in favour of King James, to be brought into the market¬
place and well tossed in a blanket. Though regularly bred to
war. he had a remarkable aptitude in drilling irregular troop'd.
Wolseley lost no time in advancing upon a portion of the
Irishry, and he speedily came up with Hamilton s army, which
nearly twice outnumbered his own. “Shall we advance or re¬
treat?” lie asked of Ins small force, chiefly composed of
** gentlemen and yeomen fighting, not for pay, but for their
lands, their wives, their children, and their God.” ‘‘Ad¬
vance ! ” was thundered in response. Wolselcy gave the
word, “No Popery !” and the battle of Newton Butler
followed, the Irish were utterly routed, and for a long time no
quarter was given by the avengers. Fifteen hundred of the
vanquished fell, and five hundred more were driven into Loch
Fine and drowned. All the drums and all the colours of the
Papists were taken. Wolselcy also distinguished himself at
ihe Boyne. Sir Garnet has made liis own omens, in a long
course of noble services; but it is pleasant to read that under
a 'Wolselcy England has already indicted terribjfc castigation
upon savage and superstitious foes.

That her Majesty the Queen of England and the Empress
of India will gladly do anything in her power to gratify the
reasonable wishes of her Oriental subjects, none of them can
entertain a doubt. But whether ours and their Sovereign will
be advised to grant their last request, and proclaim that she is
to be known in future as Shah a n-Sa i0> - f - /limt, Zil'iSabhani,
w hich we arc informed is the title which her Majesty ought to
bear in Asia, is a question for the Duke of Argyll, and we hope
that he wdll consider it well. Perhaps, as a Highland chieftain,
he will not think the name so appalling as it seems to the
Saxon. whose tendency is to abbreviate all titles, and who
affectionately calls his very father a guv.

“ I uavq no more to say. I die for her I love.” Surely, uo
final utterance can be more simj.de and touching. A knight of
old days rescuing his lady at the cost of his life, or the troubador
who

Fell beneath the foeinan's glaive,

could not have expressed himself more beautifully. Rolla, we
think, when he has delivered Cora's child, falls with some such
w ords. But there are cfrcumsfeances. The last time the senti¬
ment w as used was nu Monday last, at Durham, when it fell

fiom the iijw or ono —' w*««v**»— pv uni

a reader of the line that the man who spoke it kn^i
the woman of whom hi spoke, and that he was in tna hands of
the executioner. The ) perversion of tho meaning of. words lias
seldom been more eurifelisly illustrated. Among heroes, to «lie
for a person is to die to save her ; among the lower 6 rders it
means to be hanged for killing her. Mr. Disraeli s theory of
two nations is ceitainly supported by the fact that we have
two languages.

The Tichborue case is going on so pleasantly—-at least up to
the time at which we write —that it is quite delightful to read
the advocate’s speech and the gentle interpellations of the
Court and the jun*. The sensation is like that described m
Mein lie ’8 most remarkable novel, the “Whale, where the
hero mentions the exquisite repose that flowed into his soul
while his Lands were engaged in breaking ujj the odoriferous
lumps of fresh spermaceti. We hope that there is no contempt
of Court in saying that the proceedings have an interest
entirely apart from the “ miserable business 5 itself. Iustruc-
tion and amusement mingle in the rejiorts. Oil Monday,
for instance, we had a pleasant historical reminiscence
of N ancle on I., with a keen annotation by the Chief
Justice, who favours no ‘ 4 comparisons with long tails, as
Renault says. Then came an excellent repartee from
a juryman, *wlio, hearing the defendant compared to a
cliiiinnaene-bottle, said it must bo a magnum. _Di\ Kenealy
happily introduced Fielding’s masterly picture of Tom Jones,
who, solely out of grief for the loss of his benefactor, indulged
in drink : and we had also the famous passage from Moore s
Bv ron wherein the poet is described as having sparred on the
day of his mother’s funeral The learned doctor mentioned
that everybody had one weak point, and a juryman demanded
which was Dr. Kcnealy’s. “ If I knew I would not tell you,
laughed the advocate. Then we had a quotation from Lady

TEE YARKUND MISSION.

We bare engraved another of Captain E. F. Chapman’s
"ketches of the journey of Mr. Forsyth s diplomatic mission to
Varkundmid 6 Cashgar. The road was through Ladak or
Middle Tibet, which is the upper valley of the Indus, north-
cast of Cashmere, and where the English official P» rt y «ye

entertained, at the Buddhist Monastery of Hem«, w. h a

comical masquerade, depicted m one of Captain Chapman a
sketches From this country they proceeded northw ard, by
the Charm-Lung Pass, above the city of Leh, into the valley of
the Nnbra and the Shay ok, wheuce they marched up the course
of tho Shayok river to the foot of the Karakorum mountain
ranee It was in the second week of October that they made
their way through this wild highland country, and the cold in
their tents at the nightly encampment was severe ; but they

enjoyed robust health. Our Illustration shows the party
crossing the Kardung, when descending the glacier by which
they entered the Shayok valley, at an elevation of 10,000 ft.
For this descent into the valley they had to change their ponies
for yrtks, or Tibet oxen, the safest beasts for riding down a
glacier—stolid creatures that positively decline to be hurried.
The ridel's, mounted on these shaggy, grunting animals, and
muffled uj) in all the warm clothes that could bo found, were
helped forward by their attendants on foot. The beasts were
pulled and encouraged up the steep zigzag by ragged Tartars,
whose constant cry of “ Oitcli—kok—kok—kok ! * proved that
their practised lungs were not affected by the thinness of the
air. As for the European travellers, their breathing was con¬
siderably affected by this circumstance, from the altitude of
the position. There was great fear that the baggage would be
drenched and spoiled, but the yaks faced the water bravely,
and the Tartars (forty or fifty in number) did not hesitate to
plunge in up to their waists, though it was nearly at freezing
temperature. So they managed to cany everything safely
over. The arrival of Mr. Forsyth’s party in Varkund has
lately been announced.

FRANCE.

(From our Correspondent in Paris.)

Thursday, Jan. 8.

The National Assembly resumes its sittings to-day after the
brief holiday which it has allowed itself to take, and enters on
tho discussion of the proposed new municipal law for completely
abolishing local self-government, which will certainly give rise
to an animated, and jiossibly to a stormy, debate, r ive Con¬
servative Deputies have announced their intention of speaking
in favour of the measure, which will be opjiosud by MM. Louis
Blanc, Christojihle, Fressens^, and Waddmgton, in the name of
the Republican party. The Constitutional Committee finds
itself in an embarrassing dilemma with regard to the jiroposed
changes in the electoral law; no less than twenty-four different
projects have been submitted to its consideration, but it will
adopt none until the Government has made known its opinion.
Several Cabinet Councils have been held w ith the view of
deciding the point, hut the Ministers are imablc to agree among
themselves, and it is probable that soind time will elaj>se before
the question receives a solution.

Not long ago a report was current to the effect that Count
(TAiuhn liad remonstrated with the French Government on

the violent. D u mmut-O... mad e use of by certain Bishops against
dntoyTu iS pswterW cMtucn, J . r rrwy . * \

the necessity which exists for wointamdig nTtiSwf TWnffrr>a»
with foreign Towers. He reminds them that “it is by showing
themselves to be animated by a spirit of moderation that tfiey
will the most efficaciously augment their own legitimate in¬
fluence and contribute to that work of appeasement and general
pacification which should be the object of their and the Govern¬
ment’s joint efforts.” .

Not content with doing their utmost to gag the. I aris anil
provincial press, Hie Government is now busy seizing Liberal
foreign newsjmpers at the frontier. Tho Vienna JV coo Ireir

On Monday tho Admiralty Court gave its verdict i a »i
inquiry it has instituted into the loss of tho steambr ViQ. f r
Havre. The Court declares that the conduot of the csi?
and crew of that vessel was irreproachable, and that the S
b] am e of the collision rests with the Lochoarn, which, it ttn
was 'worked contrary' to ever)’ rule of the International
time Code.

SPAIN.

As had been anticipated, a Ministerial crisis has at W ,
occurred in Spain, accompanied by the resignation of 8£ a
Cas tela r, the dissolution of the Cortes by General 1’avu, u *
the assumption of the presidentship by Marshal Serrano. Tty
Cortes w ere reopened on Friday week, w hen Senor Caatelar^
a message from the Government. The debate which follow j
lasted from tw’o o’clock on Friday afternoou until fouro’d^
on Saturday morning. Senor Castelar was defeated by a ^
jorityof 120 in two consecutive divisions, and the
resigned; \vhereuj>on General Pavia, the Captam-Gonteil
Madrid, sent a letter to Senor Salineron calling npon hits t :j
dissolve the Cortes. After a vain attempt to induce 84 ^
Castelar to resume office, a company of Guards enters 1
House and ejected all [the deputies. General Pavia deeUrti
the Cortes dissolved, on the plea that thus only c mil l£,
country be saved. The General then summoned the
eminent men of all j>artiea, exeejit the Carlists and the Intni
sigentes, witli a view to the formation of a Cabinet.

A new' Ministry lias been formed, under the preside^
of Marshal Serrano, as chief of the Executive power of tb
Republic. It is composed as follows Senor S a casta, Minafe
of Foreign Affairs; Senor Zavala, Minister of War;
Figueroln, Minister of Justice; Senor Becerra, Minister i
Agriculture ; Senor Echegarray, Minister of Finance; Sea«
Garcia Ruiz, Minister of the Interior; Senor Topete, Miniate f
of Marine.

The new Minister of the Interior has addressed a circulr
to the governors of the provinces, in which he describes tb
dissolution of the Cortes by General Pavia as the worthy co&
mencement of the high and difficult mission undertaken by tb

Bless ington’s beautiful poem on the old man w’ho remembered
the voice of tlie young wife he had lost for so many yoara ; a
passage from Lord Brougham, who denounced flippant
witnesses as those w’ho meant to tell falsehood ; a hint that
there could be such a person as a female Pope ; and, finally, a
celebrated line from “Hamlet.” All this mtertuaion of
literature and writ helped to make a rather dull day s work a
very interesting one. Has Dr. Kenealy, who ha 3 read almost
everything, become acquainted with a poem in ‘Thro the
Looking Glass,” the continuation of “Alice in Wonderlaud?
There is a verse therein w'hich he might use in his peroration,
and it is the piteous representation made by the little oysters
to the carpenter and the walruB, when the tw T o latter cease to

Leicester-square will probably be improved and beautified ere
long, but when is anybody going either to beautify the Colosseum
or to improve it off the face of Regent’s Park. The huge pile
seems a monument of ill-directed energy and enterprise. Y e
speak without book, but we suppose that at no time m its his¬
tory was it remunerative to the extent of a decent dividend.
For years it has been a solitude. It has never had any romance
for tliose who are still young, but, to adopt Macaulay s manner,
“men, now' past middle ago and crowned with such glory as
comes of grey hairs, are reminded, of the time when on the
supposed bench of the captive of St.^ Helena, and by the side
of the cataract imitated from the Alpine torrent, they, watched
by the melancholy eagle, pleaded not hopelessly at the ear of
beauty.” Such gentlemen have, however, outlived sentiment,
and w-ould like to know why something is not done with so
valuable a site. The success of the Victoria-street flats seems
to invite a similar exper ment in the purer air and pleasanter
scene cf tl e pai k, and t\ ere is ft railway station close to the place,

admission into France of two of the Swiss papers, which are
directed by Communist refugees ; but the confiscation of the
other journals, the tone of which is invariably moderate, is
certainly a most-arbitrary proceeding.

The Ministerial organs comment, with manifest delight,
upon the recent coup-d’etat at Madrid, and institute com¬
parisons wdth regard to it between France and Spain. Several
of the Royalist journals are now urging the Government to
throw aside the semblance of legality with which they have
hitherto invested their many arbitrary measures, and to hasten
to dissolve the Assembly and place the Comte de Chambord
on the throne. An extremely restrictive electoral law T would,
in their opinion, ensure the re-election of the present majority,
and prevent that of most of the Republican deputies.

The Parquet of Pvambouillet is now actively engaged in
investigating a series of horrible murders, of which the neigh¬
bourhood of Augerville has been the scene during the past year.
It seems that in January last a garde-chasse and his wife were
found assassinated in their cottage at Augerville, with their heads
beaten in and almost separated from their bodies. A rigorous,
but fruitless, search was made to discover the j>er]>etrator
of the crime, and the excitement caused by the event w*as
dying out when, one evening in October, the servant of the
cure of the neighbouring village of Vaugrigneuse, on answering
the door of the presbytery, found herself assaulted by an indi¬

“THERE’S NO PLAGE LIKE HOME.”

The picture by Sir Edwin Landseer which we engrave for our
Special Supplement (by permission of Messrs. Henry Graves
and Co., Pall-mall) may be accepted as an appropriate Fine-
Art Illustration on the occasion of the Landseer Exhibition at
Burlington House, although the original forms part of the
Sheepshanks Collection at the Sonth Kensington Museum. The
picture is a type of those characteristics in Sir Edwin’s works
which have won for him the distinction of being regarded as
“ the Sliakspeare of the world of dogs. ” A Scotch terrier has
just returned to the barrel which has been adapted to form his
kennel, and he raises a whine of satisfaction as he recognises
the old familiar home. A snail crawling over the stone at the
entrance to the kennel, and carrying “ home ” with it on its
back in its shell, further suggests lifelong attachment to the
dwelling-placo of early associations. Some dogs do, in point
of fact, both bark and whine, as well as prick up
their ears, and wag their tails—that groat vehicle of
their emotions—on recognising formerly familiar places
as well as persons ; and Sir Edwin has seized on the whine to
suggest an analogy between it and the beautiful old song,
“Home, Sweet Homo," that a human being might sing under
corresponding circumstances. When we remember how some
dogs whine on hearing music the comparison may seem loss
far-fetched. A dog, when it whines, too, turns up its head
and its eyes, and one can fancy all sorts of sentimental mean¬
ings in the bright, peculiarly sagacious eyes of a Scotch terrier
when unturned. It was doubtless to this power of indicating
resemblances to man in tho lower animals—real in some
instances, though purely imaginary, it may be, in most cases—
that our pictorial JlCsop owed his wide popularity. It is pro¬
bably not difficult to transfer expressive attitudes, gestures,
and expressions from human beings to animals where they
could hardly be found except accidentally. But no painter
had ever attempted this to nearly the same extent, or with a
tithe of Sir Edwin’s success, before; bonce the great human
interest in his works, and their strong appeal to that love of
animal3 which is a national characteristic; and hence, by a
natural consequence, Ins originality and unrivalled popularity
as a painter of animal life. The picture was exhibited at the
Old British Institution in 1842.

Earl Fitzwilliam has received from the Archbishop of York
an answer to the resolutions seut to him from the recent meet¬
ing at York on the subject of “private confession." His Grace
says that anyone who holds the opinion that Christ ho3 insti¬
tuted in His Church a special means for the remission of sin
after baptism, and that the special means consists in the appli¬
cation of the power of absolution to individual souls alter
private confessiou, must needs confess that the Prayer-book is
very badly framed for such a system.

The Bishop of London, in the course of his sermon at St.
Paul’s Cathedral, on Sunday night, made a protest against a
form of religion much in vogue among the educated classes at
the present day. It is, said liis lordship, a kind of sentimental
religion, which loves to dream over devotional books, over what
may bo termed the poetry of Christianity ; which makes much
of the beauties of architecture and music, and longs for a
gorgeous ritual such as primitive Christianity never wanted, and
such as is not required now. This religion, said the Bishop,
knows nothing of the stem realities of life, for mere religious
sentiment by no means necessarily involves self-denial. It is
not even connected with the doing of God’s will, while it may
exist with grosser sin. It often leads to irreligion and vanity ;
it seldom leads to Christ.

houses and G9.5G9 were in receipt of outdoor relief. Compared
wdth the corresponding weeks in the years 1873, 1872, and

A discussion of some length took place, on Tuesday's meet¬

had been presented to tho Commissioners urging them to do so,
on the ground that the slippery nature of the material cause 1 a
large number of serious accidents to horses, and a consequent
stoppage of the traffic. A motion was adopted referring the
matter to the streets committee, and authorising them to try

could not be devised for rendering tho asphaltc less dangerous.

At a meeting of the'Shipwreckod Mariners’ Society, held at

Maude, R.N., in the chair—the silver medal and a pecuniary
reward were given to George Randall, chief mate, and four of

There were 2592 births and IS 12 deaths registered in London
last week, which were respectively 538 and 146 above the
average. This excess both of births and deaths, the Registrar-
General observes, is doubtless to a considerable extent due to
the delay in registration caused by the Christmas holidays in
the previous week. The annual* death-rate from all causes,
w hich in the two previous weeks had been equal to 33 and 24
per 1000, was last week 29. Excepting two cold days at the
beginning of the week, the temperature -was considerably
above tne average. The deaths referred to diseases of
the respiratory organs and phthisis were 721, and exceeded
by 138 the corrected weekly average; 351 resulted from
bronchitis, 175 from phthisis, 132 from pneumonia, and 25
from asthma. It is more than probable that but for the
Christmas holidays a considerable proportion of these deaths
would have been registered in the previous weok. The fatal
cases of measles were 108, exceeding the average by 64. The
deaths referred to fever were 31 last week : 22 were certified as
enteric or typhoid, 3 as typhus, and 6 as simple continued
fever. There were 4 deaths from smallpox, 18 from scarlet
fever, 2 from diphtheria, 69 from whooping-cough, 12 from

Oxford is as unknown as the mystery of the prehistoric Druids
of Britain. Whatever may be the secret mission or purpose of
the Oxford fraternity, there is one act of theirs which the
public in a manner is invited to witness—namely, an aunual
feast to the members of that ancient city. For some years the
Droids have had the advantage of exhibiting before the world
a full-grown Secretary of State in an hour, ostensibly of ease,
but probably in fact rather troubled, because obliged to per¬
form that rhetorical feat—necessary to all responsible
Ministers—of speaking a great deal and saying a3 little as
possible. With him, hitherto, lias been a very rising states¬
man, who, in the comparatively short period that he lias been
a member of the House of Commons, h:i9 made a decided mark.
This gentleman, having expanded or subsided, according to
opinion, from a very free and independent Radical into a
Solicit or-Gen end, the Druids had the satisfaction of having the
Government doubly represented on a receut occasion. Since
that memorable night when, in propounding his great scheme
of Array reform, he, for the first time in his Parliamentary
career, enchained the attention and almost charmed the ear of
the House, Mr. Cardwell has exhibited new powers as a
rhetorician. In his speeches now there is always, apart from
their serious matter, variety, even to a dash of humour,
which, issuing from him in the same dry, drony tones
in "which he utters statistics and prediction, are
therefore the more irresistibly taking. At Oxford, on
New-Year's Day, he was in excellent vein. Without
abandoning the reticence incumbent on a Cabinet Minister, he
almost told something of Ministerial doings and Ministerial
intentions. Nothing could have been better than the coquettish
way in which, while admitting that a Government could nob
expect to be appreciated, let them act ever so wisely, he insinu¬
ated a strong case for that to which he belonged. A sketch of
what taxation was before the inauguration of that jiolicy of free
trade of which the present Ministry are ardent professors was
at once comprehensive and amusing. Perhaps a little too much
stress was laid on one point when he said that if an Englishman
wanted to wash himself his soap was taxed, because, unless-the
extension of the franchise has brought about a social and personal
revolution, two thirds of the population of this couutry are
still content to be called “ the great unwashed,” and therefore
free soap would probably not address itself powerfully to their
sympathies. But in the long list of articles which have been
relieved from fiscal burdens by those conductors of public
affairs of whom Mr. Gladstone was originally one, this item
had a rmbt to its place, and so it figured laudably in the cata¬
logue. But Mr. Cardwell was more interesting, as he was very
free of speech, on a topic which may be exciting the attention of
the general public, but which has certainly been a prominent topic
in out-of-Parliament speeches, and will be made much ca 2 )ital
of by in-Parliamentary censors—namely, the Ashantee war.
By the frankness with"which he spoke, and by the informa¬
tion he afforded, Mr. Cardwell has possibly anticipated many a
florid denunciation of the Government in regard to this matter,
which has been elaborately prepared for the Session. Judi¬
ciously, he abstained from alluding to the origin anil fountain
of those vexatious, those inglorious, hostilities, with regard to
which he might have made a strong point, and he confined
himself to the administrative action of the Government, and his
own department in particular. 1 From his clear statement, it
would appear that the War Office and its satellites are in ex¬
cellent trim. The expedition to the Gold Coast ha 3 evidently

celerity and a due adaptation to the peculiar circumstances of
the case which are highly creditable to all concerned ; and it
cannot but he observed that Mr. Cardwell did not vaunt him*

will bo done, but spoke of it as a matter of ordinary routine.
When he came to touch on a rather prickly subject, so far as
the Dons of the University are concerned—namely, the estab¬
lishment of a military central depot at Oxford—he was happy
in his illustration of the non-reforming tendencies of its govern¬
ing body in former times : the traditions and something more
of which still lurk in some part of that august: body which
flourishes to day. Few were, perhaps, aware, until Air.
Cardwell told us, that the ruling powers of the University
resisted the introduction of Greek into its schools at the
Reformation, and could only be induced to consent to the
innovation by the intervention of that stringent, rough-and-
ready reformer, Harry VIII., whose hand was in ju^t then for
dealing with bodies of cloistered drones.

Palpably Sir William Vernon Harcourt was in the be 3 t pos¬
sible spirits. However he may have attributed his elation to
the factitious influence of the festivity of which he was par¬
taking, it is more than probable that, cynical as he is, lie
was conscious that lie appeared before his Dnudical friends
with several cubits added to his political and legal stature.
For awhile ho nearly revelled in drollery; and there is no
question that his humour is always apt, and not the less
effective for the infusion of hitter that it invariably contains,
while his utterance of jests or jocose epigrams is intensified by
the grim expression that he preserves-in the lower pari of Ins
face, 011 M Ins eyes lighting up in unison with his smart sayings.
On this occasion, when he <got into facts and statistics iie did
not cease A be humorous. Perhaps for the first time the sub¬
ject of taxation was greeted by continuous laughter ; the more
spontaneous and hearty withal bccauso the talk was of relief
from impost, with a subtle insinuation that there was more to
come in that way. When he was talking of that phase of
taxation winch is known as rates he gave full vent to his
peculiar faculty of illustrating argument by facetiousness. A
theory that N he started was a hold one—-namely, that the
vast expansion of the burden of rates wa3 owing to the
crotchets of philosophers and sociologists, who “rave, recite,
and madden through the land.” It may ho that he had an
acute recollection of the circumstance that the place ho lias
hitherto occupied in the House brought him day by day in
close contact/ with several of these philosophical politicians,
and he wa* perhaps chuckling over the thought that by liis
transplantation to the Treasury Bench he wifi have escaped
from much of that contact. He may not have remem¬
bered that one of the most rampant of that class has
also gone to the Treasury Bench, and so will not he re¬
moved from him by distance; but, if he did not forget that,
lie may perhaps have comforted himself by the reflection that
in that empyrean of public life there exists a system of in¬
sensible muzzling of speech, which effectually extinguishes
troublesome individuality, even in the person of a philosophical
member. A solid pari of the Solicitor-General’s speech was
that wherein he fulfilled a promise given to his constituents, the
other day, that he would expound his ideas on the laud ques¬
tion ; but even this he touched -with a free hand and in the airy
lightsome spirit which pervaded a speech which, possibly bein»
the last he will deliver for some time with the power of
liberating his mind, must have had a special value to his
audience, apart from its many undoubted intrinsic merits.

MUSIC.

Again, this week, there is but little to record of musical doing

iAbandon. Pantomime and oth er Christmas amusements still
retain their predominant attractions for resident and visiting
audiences. Before the end of the month, however, music will
have resumed that activity and importance which now have but
brief cessation at any time during the year.

The only occurrences between our last writing and this have
been the performance of “The Messiah,” under Mr. \V. Carter’s
direction, at the Royal Albert Hall, on the evening of New-
Year’s Day ; and the resumption of the London Ballad Concerts
at St. James’s Hall, last Saturday afternoon, as intimated in
our previous Number. On the latter occasion the solo vocalists
were Misses Edith Wynne, Sophie Ferrari, Enriquez, ami
Antoinette Sterling; Mr. Vernon Rigby, Mr. Pyatt, and Mr.
George Perren. the latter of whom replaced Mr. Sims Reeves,
absent from illness. The London Vocal Union contributed
some glees and part-songs, and Air. Sydney Smith played two
brilliant pianoforte pieces of his own composition. Another of
the Ballad Concerts will be given this afternoon.

Haydn’s “ Creation ” was announced to bo given by the
Royal Albert H a l l Choral Society on Thursday, when Signor
Giulio Perkin was to make his first appearance in London.

Next Alonday will bring back Dr. von Biilow, after his brief
absence on the Continent, the reappearance of the great
pianist being announced in the programme of the Popular
Concert of that evening.

Another resumption of serial concerts will be at the Crystal
Palace on Saturday afternoon next.

The dates of the principal serial concerts of the forthcoming
season have already been given by us, with the exception of
the New Philharmonic, which institution lias recently an¬
nounced its performances to commence immediately after
Easter, under the direction of Dr. Wylde and Herr Gauz.

THEATRES.

LasU"Saturday ATi\ Gilbert introduced to the boards of' “ the
Little Theatre” a new five-act comedy, ontitled “Charity.”

The piece belongs to that morbid class of product ions which
we have had only too frequent occasion to condemn. The
more prominent on our list are the “Formosa” of Air. Bouci-
cault, and “ The New Alagdalen ” of Mr. Wilkie Collins. In
the first of these plays, a member of the frail sisterhood was
destined to many' a geutleman of title ; but this ddiiodment
having attracted the attention of the Chamberlain, it was
omitted in the later performances of the piece. In the second
of these plays the warning was disregarded, and the story actually
ends with the union of the repentant frail one to a clergyman.
Air. Gilbert soars a higher flight, and places his reformed de¬
linquent under the protection of a colonial Bishop. It is not
our intention to state the fable of this drama, because in one
part of it the structure of the story so breaks down that wc
cannot understand it, and makes also of the last act an u nsatis-
factory melange of incidents which serve only to bewilder the
audience. The heroine, as performed by Alisa Robertson, is an
interesting as well as a benevolent lady, whose conduct and
religious principles are unimpeachable, but whose notions of
marriage are not those of the uncharitable world. Opposed to
her are the two Smailoys, father and son (Mr. Howe and Mr.
Kendal), whose principles of action are altogether mundane,
but severely moral, in the conventional sense of morality, and
who carry out in their conduct those principles with a logical
exactness which allows no place for impulse and ignores all the
feelings of the heart. Those in particular are cautiously to be
guarded against in the preliminaries of marriage ; and in that
proposed between the daughter of Mrs. Vanbrugh and Smailey,
junior, the young lover is especially careful not to be misled by
his emotions. Old Smailey, however, is not bo guiltless a
personage as might be expected, for in his hot youth he
had dealings with thei tramp, Ruth Tredget (Mrs. Alfred
Mellon), winch obhge him to consult her wishes, and at last
lead to his downfall. As to Ruth Tredget herself, she is
one of the objects of Mrs. Vanbrugh's bounty, which
“** redeemed her from degradation and placed her in a re¬
spect. ihle position. All these parts were admirably acted. One

ROYAL INSTITUTION LECTURES.

VIBRATION OF HEEDS, STRINGS, AN1> PLATES.

Professor Tyndall began his third lecture on the Motions and
Sensation of Sound, on Thursday week, Jan. 1, by stating that
the action of reeds or vibrating tongues in the harmonica, con¬
certina, and similar instruments, resembles that of the syren ;
and that by associating a suitable pipe with reed3 the quality
of the human voice might be imparted to their tones. In fact,
the vocal organ in man is a reed instrument, the vibrating reed
I cing elastic bands, termed vocal chords, placed at the top of
the trachea, and capable of various degrees of tension, while
the mouth, by changing its shape, resounds to the fundamental
tone or to any of the over tones of the vocal chords. The
Professor next considered the vibrations of strings ; showing,
in tie first place, that the amount of motion communicated to
the air by the vibrating string is too small to be perceived as
sound, even at a smafi distance, and hence when strings* are
employed as sources of musical sounds they must be associated
with surfaces which take up their vibrations and transfer
them to the air ; thus the tone of a harp, or of a piano,
depends mainly upon the sound-board of the instru¬
ment. Among the effective illustrations of the conduction
of sound was a perpendicular deal rod which rested on a
musical box in the room beneath the lecture theatre.
The tones produced by this instrument, previously inaudible,
•were distinctly heard when a guitar or wooden tray was laid on
the top of the rod. Music may thus be laid on at pleasure.
The object of the musician is to have a sufficient number of notes
of different pitch. One way is to have strings of different
lengths, as in the li&rp and pianoforte ; while the violin-player
virtually changes the length of his string by shifting the
pressure of his finger. The pitch of the note of a string is also
altered by its thickness, for which purpose wire is sometimes
iw iated round the string, as in the bass notes of a violoncello,
and also by changing the degree of tension : thus a string
vibrates with double rapidity when the stretching weight is
increased four times. By way of illustration, the Professor
exhibited the vibrations of a piece o! indiarubber tubing,
pointing out that when a series of pulses were sent m
succession along the tube the direct and reflected pulses
met. and by their coalescence divided the tube into a
series of vibrating parts termed ventral segments, the
points of lest between them being termed nodes. I be a,
making use of a monochord (a piano-wire stretched over a
sound-box), he stated that, when the string is damped or
stopped by a feather at one half or one third of its length aud
struck at its intermediate point, the string divides like the
indiarubber tube ; and this he proved by placing paper rulers
on the ventral segments and the nodes. Vv lien the string was
made to vibrate, the riders on the ventral segments were thrown
off*, while those on the nodes still remained. The notes corre¬
sponding to the divisions of the string into aliquot parts are
tamed its harmonics (third, fifth, eighth, &c.) 1 he lecture

concluded with illustrations of the vibrations of plates, investi¬
gated chiefly by Cbladni, who discovered that when sand is
scattered over a vibrating surface it is driven from the vibrating
peufions and collects along the nodal lines.^ Many beautiful
examples of this were exhibited ; the subdivision of the sand
on the plate becoming more minute as the note was made to
rise in pitch. After exhibiting the figures produced on a
circular plate, the Professor stated that when this plate is bent
up it becomes a bell; and then, causing a large bell to be
sour.iled, lie taid that when a bell sounds its deepest note it is
•ivtwMriftV, 1 ff ft* 8 *** from each _otherby_

each othcx.at the crown.

SOUNDING AND SENSITIVE FLAMES.

Professor Tyndall, in beginning his fourth lectnro on Satur¬
day last , alluded to the vibration of the strings of the JEolian
harp produced by the action of wind, and to the fine sound
given off by telegraph wires due to the same cause, the post
acting the |part of the sounding-board. He then adverted to
the wbrationa of bells, and made these evident on the surface
of water in an inverted bell. When these vibrations were made
very energetic in a glass hell-spray was tossed into the air and
made risible when illuminated by electric light. By using
alcohol spheroidal drops of spray were made to roll over the
surface in a starlike figure. The Professor showed how musical
sounds may be augmented by a flame, made to act the part of
a sounding-board ; and then, in a series of experiments with
Homes inclosed in tubes, he showed how' flames produce musical
tones, the pitch sinking as the tube is lengthened. A powerful
fund omental note was given off by a wide glass tube with au
organd burner, and the sound, emitted by a long tin tube, was
violently explosive. Among many other interesting experi¬
ments w as the exhibition of a flame upon the screen, by means
of a concave mirror, first with the flame quiet, and then when
singing. When the sound began, the continuous band of light
was broken up into a series of flame images. This phenomenon
was explained and illustrated by referenco to the persistence
of impressions on the retina. The Professor then showed
how flames in a tube may be started into song by
sounding a note corresponding to their pitch; ana the
flame in a tube thirteen inches long was silent until
started by his voice. He next exhibited the influence
of musical sounds on a parabolic jet of water, by means of
the electric light. When a sound was produced the scattered
drops gathered themselves together and formed a continuous
arch, and the shadow' was projected on a screen. This was
followed bv other exhibitions of the sensitiveness of flame to
musical sounds. With a bat’s-wing gas-burner, when the flame
w as at the point of flaring, the action of a whistle and other
sounds was very evident, with the sound at a considerable dis¬
tance. That such a flame is a very delicate acoustic reagent
the Professor showed in his concluding experiment*. After
exhibiting the reflection and refraction of light in the usual
manner, lie produced tilt* same phenomena with sound, for
which purpose he employed, instead of a lens, a collodion bai-
] 0 r n filled with carbonic acid gas ; the reflection aud refraction
being indicated by their evident action on the gas-flame from a
steatite burner. This method of demonstration Professor
T> ndall said had never been seen before, even by philosophers ;
and to effect it he had to cut ofl*, as far as possible, all sources
of disturbance to the atmosphere, oven closing all the venti¬
lators of the lecture-room.

VIBRATIONS OF HODS.—RESONANCE.

Professor Tyndall began his fifth lecture, on Tuesday last,
wdth illustrations of the difference between transverse and
Ioj gitudinal vibrations, exemplified by vibrating rods and
v i. es, the pitch of the tone varying writli their length. Among
the examples was the instrument termed the iron fiddle, and a
h i d of harp composed of a series of w f ooden rods of different
lengths, shrill sounds being produced by friction with resined
fingers. In regard to these sounds, it was stated that at the
pomt of highest vibration there is no change of density ; but at
the nodes, the place of no motion, the substauce alternately
contracts and expands. This fact w'as beautifully shown m a
rdPFS rod by means of polarised light (Biot’s experiment). The
light, w hich was excluded w hen the glass was at rest, passed

through w T hen it was put into a state of strain by sonorous vibra¬
tions. The mechanical effect of longitudinal vibrations was made
evident by their driving off a suspended ivory ball touching one
end of a rod of wood ; and by their intensity these vibrations
shivered a glass rod into annular rings. The different rates of
conduction of sound possessed by various substances, due to
their different densities, having been noticed and illustrated
(such as the fact that sound travels faster in deal than in
mahogany), thus affording a means for estimating the velocity
of sound, the Professor commented on and illustrated the
analogy which exists between the vibrations of the substance
of rods and those of air and other gases in pipes. Thus, a pipe
stopped at one end vibrates in precisely the same maimer as a
solid rod fixed at one end. If the velocity of sound be the
some in both, a roil and pipe of the same length will produce
notes of the same pitch. When this is not the case the same
pitch may be obtained by sufficiently lengthening the substauce
through which the sound travels more rapidly. The same
analogy is found in regard to pipes open at both ends and rods
free at both ends. The Professor next adverted to. the
resonance of tubes. He demonstrated that columns of air of
a definite length resound to tuning-forks of definite rates of
vibration by means of jars of various depths placed under
tuning-forks. He stated that the length of a column of air
w hich most perfectly resounds to a fork is one fourth of the
length of tlie sonorous wave produced by the fork ; the
resonance being due to the synchronism which exists between
the ribrating period of the fork and that of the column of air.
By blowing across the mouth of a tube closed at ope end a
flutter of the air is produced ; and the Pandean pipes were
referred to as an example of pulses of this flutter being raisqd
by the resonance of tubes to a musical sound. To this fact is
also to be ascribed the sound of organ pipes. In these the air
is agitated by causing it to issue from a narrow slit and to
strike upon a cutting edge. The pulse of the flutter is raised
to a musical sound by the resonance of the pipe.

The following courses of lectures will begin next week *.
On Tuesday, Professor Rutherford on Respiration (five lec¬
tures) ; Thursday, Professor Run can on Paleontology, with
especial reference to Extinct Animals and the Physical Geo¬
graphy of their Time (six lectures) ; on Saturday, Professor
Croom Robertson on Kant (four lectures). The weekly evening
meetings will begin on Friday next—Professor Tyndall on the

Yesterday week Dr. Kenealy commented oil the military
evidence adduced for the prosecution, contending that the
officers who had given evidence against the defendant had from
the first been prejudiced against him. The learned counsel
had an amusing controversy wflth the Lord Chief Justice, and
the jury, arising out of the contention oil liis part that, inas¬
much as it had not been proved that there were Lights in the
room wheu Roger was bled at Canterbury, the operation might
have been performed in the dark. The Lord Chief Justice
having relinked that no man of common-sense would have
attempted the operation without light, Dr. Kenealy said that
“ common-sense did not ahvays prevail." The Lord Chief
Justice’s pointed rejoinder, “No, I see that, the learned
counsel said ho w f ould take no notice of, but would leave to
Uistorv." Tho Tichborne photographs and dagiiorreot^es

, .. v yv \w nvwW v*;gw.r<\ to \>r. VUmnrCVy*« CYvtiA,

they si twed a pendent ear. But on this point, a3 a juryman
.jbserv d, there w f ere twelve to one against the Doctor, and he
f vowed never to mention the photographs again.

On Monday Or. Kenealy contmcd liimsolf to an analysis
of the faiiiily evidence. In the course of the day the lock of
Roger's hair which had been produced by Lady Kadcliflo was
handed to the jury. Tho lock of hair from Moiipiila, of which
bo much was heard in the earlier stages of the trial, was also
submitted to the jury’s inspection, in support of his assertion
that the two young Bonapartes— Napoleon and Joseph—had
forgotten them native tongue, Dr. Kenealy cited an extract
from the Boys’ Journal. He could not supply tho Lord Chief
Justice with the name of the writer; but his Lordship gave
him references to better known authorities, who represented
Napoleon at St. Helena to have conversed in Italian with hia
doctor and attendants.

Next day Dr. Kenealy reviewed the evidence of several
witnesses for the prosecution, and proceeded to analyse tho
evidence as to the personal iicuuliarities of tho defendant and
Roger Tichborne, contending that the former could not be
Arthur Orton. In the course of his speech lie mado an inci¬
dental observation that he was anxious to bring liis remarks to
a close as speedily as he could consistently with his duty to his
client. The Lord Chief Justice here told him that ho was not
consuming time unnecessarily, and that what he was saying
was only fair and proper.

Dr. Kenealy continued, on Wednesday, his analysis of the
evidence respecting Roger Tichbome’s manners and habits,
and, comparing them with those of the defendant, contended
that this part of the case was entirely in hia client’s favour.
The learned counsel then returned to the tattoo marks, alleging
as his reason that some of the jury seemed still to entertain a
doubt on the subject, and said that the inventors of these
marks were Mr. Bowker, Mr. Seymour, and Lord Bellew. When
he began to expatiate on the incredibility of Rogers mother
never having heard of “that swelling and sloughing sore”
w hicli would result from a tattoo, a matter-of-fact juryman told
him he Lad not found tattooing a painful operation. From this
Dr. Kenealy passed on to a vindication of Bogle.

The analysis of the Tichborno witnesses occupied the whole
of Thursday. Dr. Kenealy said that no fewer than thirty-five
“independent ’’ witnesses, who knew Roger at Tichborne
before ne finally left England, were called for the defence, and
distinctly identified the defendant as the same person. The
Crown had only called one independent witness, old John
Etheridge, who said tho defendant was not Roger. With
reference to the alleged resemblance of the defendant to Sir
Henry Tichborne, Sir James Tichborne, Sir Edward Doughty,
and Lady Tichborne, be said, as there was overwhelming
evidence on that subject and as the Crown had put forward no
rebutting testimony, which it was perfectly competent for
them to have done, it must be taken that such resemblance
was completely and conclusively proved. The learned counsel
*nid that he attached great weight to the testimony of Miss
Braine, who, having resided with the defendant and his family
for nine months, said he was the same young man whom she
knew as Roger Ticlib orne.

Mr. Baron Martin will presently retire from the Court of
Exchequer, of which he lias been one of the Barons since 1850;
and Sir William Bodkin, who has long been suffering in health,
has forwarded his resignation to the Home Office. IN e hear
from Edinburgh that Lord Cowan has resigued his judgeship in
the Court of Session.

In the Sheriff Court of Chancery, at Edinburgh, on Tues¬
day, the case of “ Foulton v. the Earl of Egliuton ’ was called.
The petitioner seeks to have it declared that he is heir of pro¬
vision under the law of entail to the title held by the Earl of
Ivdinton and the Eglinton estates, which include the lands of
Eglinton, Drcghorn, and Eaglesham. The Sheriff ordered
answers to be lodged to the petition.

Sentence of eighteen months’ imprisonment, with hard
labour, was passed, on Monday, at the Middlesex Sessions, on
William George Yale, who, as the salesman of Messrs. Draper,
in Covent-garden Market, robbed them systematically. A
confederate, named Isaacs, has absconded. Mary Williams,
alias Smith, who at the last sessions pleaded guilty to stealing
linen from the house of Sir Thomas Chambers, where she was
in service, had excellent certificates of character produce! from
previous employers. She was discharged, on her own recog¬
nisances, to come up for judgment when called upon. On
Tuesday Maxwell Hailock pleaded guilty to two indictments,
charging him with having obtained money by false pretences.
The prisoner, who was said to be the son of a county magis¬
trate, had been previously convicted, and was now sentenced
to seven years’ penal servitude, with a like period of police
supervision. A female shoplifter, named Timberlake, who has
many previous convictions recorded against her at the Mid¬
dlesex Sessions, was on Wednesday, by way of change, sen¬
tenced to seven years’ penal servitude, with a further seven
years’ police supervision.

The Commandev-in-Chief has appeared at Marlborough-
sfcreet as complainant against Charles Studdart Maunsell, a
retired half-pay captain, for assault. The assailant, who de¬
scribed liimseli as the most ill-used man in the world, has been
pestering the Horse Guards with letters about liis grievances.
Not being satisfied with tho respouse made to them, he met
the Duke of Cambridge in Tail-mail, and, rushing at him, hit
his Royal Highness repeatedly on the chest. The magistrate
rcmanned him.

On Thursday afternoon tho convict Jean Luie, a witness
for the Claimant in the Tichborne trial, was placed before Sir
Thomas Henry, at Bow-street, to answer the charge of perjury
aud other charges, preferred against him by the Crown. Some
evidence haring been given, the prisoner was remanded.

| Patrick Wood, a bill-broker, carrying on business in the
City under the style of Wood Brothers, was, on Tuesday, com¬
mitted at the Mansion House on a charge of forging a pro¬
missory note for £100.

intoxicated. Thomas Ward Nichoils, who was sentenced to
death at the Aylesbury Assizes on the 23rd ult. for the wilful

THE LATE REY. J. H. HINTON.

The Rev. John Howard Hinton, a Baptist minister of some
eminence among the Nonconformist congregations, died at
CliftoD, Bristol, two or three weeks ago. Ho was eighty-two
years of age, having been born at Oxford, in 1791. He w’&3
son of a Baptist minister, aud was educated at the Baptist
College of Bristol, but took his degree of M.A. at the
University of Edinburgh. His first charge in the ministry
was at Haverfordwest, whence he removed to Reading, and
afterwards became pastor of the church and congregation in
Devonshire-square, Bishopsgate-street. Five or six years ago
he left Loudon, and retired to a private life at Clifton. Mr.
Hinton W'as not only a good and useful minister of religion,
but w as the author of some literary works of merit, besides his
theological writings. He was the editor, amongst other pub¬
lications, of a history and description of the United States of
America, and of a book on the elements of natural history.
The funeral of Mr. Hinton, in the cemetery at Arno’s Vale,
near Clifton, was attended by most of the Baptist and
Independent ministers of Bristol.

TEMPLE STREET, NAGASAKI.

Our Special Aitist lately in China aud Japan has contributed
the sketch of a street scene in the town of Nagasaki, one of
the chief Japanese imperial cities. The temples here arc
visited by many devout worshippers; and their priests, as w'oll
as their gods, arc comfoitably lodged, wffiile they are still
better fed and paid. These sacred^buildings are surrounded
with groves and shrubberies, which are very pleasant; tea-
gardens are neatly laid out with gravelled paths, adorned with
fountains and grottos, and planted with orange-trees, camellias,
and other flow cring shrubs or herbs, as well as the cypress and
yew. The town itself is irregularly built on the slopes of the
beautiful hills overlooking a landlocked harbour, with many
hamlets, villas, and tea-gardens in its agreeable neighbourhood.
►Some of the streets are very steep, and the ascent here and
there is by the aid of steps. There is an air of general bustle
in the shops and bazaars, where silica, bronzes, porcelain, and
lacquer-ware, besides fruits, w'ine, and tobacco, are quickly
sola. Nagasaki, in short, is rather a lively place for the other
side of Asia.

THE LATE SIR JOSEPH COWES, M.P.

THE LATE REV. J. H. HINTON, OF BRISTOL.

THE LATE SIR JOSEPH COWEN, M.P.

The death of Sir Joseph Oowen. on the 19th ult., at his resi¬
dence, Stella Hall, Blaydon-on-Tyne, was recorded in our
Paper. He was 1x>rn at Greenside, near Winlaton, in February,
1800, so that he was nearly seventy-four years of age. As a
boy, he was brought up to his father's trade, that of a working
chain-maker in the factory of Sir Ambrose Crowley and Co.,
at Winlaton and Swalwell, ,onthe Tyne. But in 1814 the busi¬
ness of Messrs. Crowley was removed from Winlaton, and the
father of Sir Joseph Co wen was enabled to set up a workshop

| or small factory on his own account. After working with
! his father till 1823 or 1824, Joseph Co wen went to join
his brother-in-law, Mr. Anthony Forster, in the business
of firebrick making, at Blay don Burn. Ho was first
manager of these works, afterward* partner, and liually
sole proprietor. He introduced great improvements, and
i at the time of his death Sir Joseph was at the head of one
of the largest firebrick and gas retort works in the kingdom,
j besides being concerned in coal mining and other extensive
industrial enterprises. Sir Joseph Cowen was .an autiv j Liberal
politician, and was elected M.P. for Newcastl e in 1885 ; ho was

T {

l

re-elected in 1S6S. He also performed great public services as
chairman of the River Tyne Improvement Commissioners, who
have completed a series of the most extensive river works in
the kingdom. Without any assistance from the Government
except in the way of loans, Mr. Ure, their engineer, made thcJ^
Tyne a harbour of refuge, the only one between the Humberto,
and Leith Roads. Hundreds of vessels seek its shelter every ^
winter in gales of wind, which otherwise would be cast ashore *
and their crews drowned. The Government, in acknowledg¬
ment of Sir Joseph Cowen’a twentygratuity

THE

PRINCE CONSORT
STATUE.

Thejmonument in Holborn
Circus, at the west end of
the Holborn Viaduct, just
now unveiled to public
'view, is an equestrian
Btatue of the late Prince
Consort. This bronze
group, which is the work
of Mr. Bacon, sculptor,
and cost £2000, was a gift
to the Corporation and
city of London from a
private benefactor. It
represents the beloved and
lamented Prince Albert
seated on horseback and
hat in hand, as in the act
of returning a salute. The
bronze was cast by Messrs.
Young and Co., of Pimlico.
The pedestal, which was
provided by the Corpora¬
tion, consists of a rustic
base of grey granite, from
W estmorland,surmounted
by a moulded andpolished
block of red granite, from
the RosB-shire quarries.
At each end is a bronze
statuette — the one repre¬
senting “ Peace,” and the
other “History.” Bas-
reliefs are inserted in the
sides of the pedestal. In
one of them Prince Albert
is shown laying a founda¬
tion-stone ; in the other
Britannia appears distri¬
buting gifts to successful
competitors in the peace¬
ful arts. The sculpture
has beeu executed by Mr.
Bacon, and the masonry
by Mess re. Hill, Keddell,
apd Waldram.

then making for the port
of Lisbon. We are much
obliged to Sub-Lieutenant
Gustavus H. Yonge, of
H.M.S. Triumph, for hia
sketch of the interesting
scene. The ships of the
squadron "were in two
columns of divisions,
ranged in line ahead, the
first division being on the
starboard side. When the
Sarmatian got sight of
them she altered her
course, so as to pass on
their larboard, within two
or three hundred yards of
the second division. Our
Engraving, from Mr.
Yonge’s sketch, repre¬
sents the ships of war,
enumerated from left to
right, in their actual
order, as follows, the
Agincourt leading the
column :—H.M.S. Agin-
court, ILM.S. Northum¬
berland, H.M.S. Resist¬
ance, H.M.S. Sultan,
H.M.S. Hercules, and
H.M.S. Triumph. The
Sarmatian, with a “12”
painted in large figures
m two places on her
quarters fore and aft,
is advancing in an oppo¬
site direction, and is just
abreast of the Hercules?
Every ship had its band
of music ready, and, as
the Sarmatian passed,
they struck up “ Bonny
Dundee,”or “TheBritish
Grenadier,” or some other
appropriate tunc. The
soldiers of the “Black
Watch ” Highland regi¬
ment, when they heard
these familiar strains,
burst into loud cheers,
which were heartily re¬
turned by the sailors of
the fleet. Ten dayB be¬
fore (on Nov. 27), when
the squadron was lying off
Madeira, it had a pleasant
meeting with the tran¬
sports Himalaya and
Tamar, conveying a bat¬
talion each of the Rifle Bri¬
gade and the 23rd Welsh
Fusiliers to the Asliantee
war. Lieutenant Yonge
writes to us of this cir¬
cumstance in a very gra¬
tifying Bpirit. He tells
us how Admiral Hornby
directed the crows of
the ships to cheer the
soldiers, and the ship’s
bands to play, when the
transports left the an¬
chorage, after a stay there
of sixteen hours, during
which the naval and mili¬
tary officers exchanged
compliments and friendly
visits.

The eror-iiicreuuiiug musical culture In all cJaesea of society has
created a demand for free reed instrument* of a superior quality to

those hitherto manufactured. _

The Instrument* now o fibred to the public will be found divested
of all that has hitherto been considered objectionable a* regards
tone. This end ha* been obtained by using a larger and thicker
tongue, and a new system of voicing, which render the quality rich
and organ-like.

Another advantage in the new system is the Increased strength of
the reed*, and diminished liability to go out of tune by forcing the
bellows. ... „„

The new system I* applied to all the large Instruments with still
greater effect, and without extra cost. ,

CHRISTMAS PARTY AT THE ROYAL NORMAL COLLEGE OF MUSIC FOR THE BLIND.

TT.TJTSTRATEP LONDON NEWS

JAN. 10, 18 71

THE COLLEGE OF MUSIC FOR THE BLIND.

The Illustrated London News of Sept. 30, 1871, contained a
sketch of the blind basket-makers at work in one of the London
institutions for the benefit of persons afflicted with loss of sight.
We at the same time noticed a book, then recently published,
by Dr. T. R. Armitage, one of the council of the British and
Foreign Blind Association, and himself blind, recommending
that they should be taught more profitable work than the
making of baskets or mats. In Paris, during the past forty
years, and in the United States of America, for many years
past, a large number of those endowed with musical talent have
been specially trained for the professions of pianoforte tuner and
performer and teacher of piano or organ playing. For the
first-named employment, more especially, it is proved by ex¬
perience that the blind have really a natural aptitude superior
to that of most persons who can see. They arc enabled to read
instrumental or vocal music with perfect facility by the uao of
raised or pricked-out characters for its notation, to be felt
with the hand and so to be learnt by rote. The bass part of a
pianoforte score, for instance, can be read and learnt by using
the right hand to feel and the left hand to play; the treble part
by feeling with the left and playing with the right; after
which, both parts having been learnt, they can lie played
together. It is probable that the deprivation of sight, by leaving
a greater amount of nerve-force or brain-force at the disposal of
the sense of hearing, may render the ear more finely susceptible
of differences in musical tone ; and the memory will likewise be
stronger to retain and quicker to learn both the' melody and
the harmonic arrangement of a musical composition.

We are very glad now to be able to return to the subject, in
connection with one of this w eek's Engraving?, which shows
the Christmas party of pupils of the Royal Normal College for the
Blind and Academy of Music at Upper Norwood, It is our
earnest hope that public support may be liberally and promptly
given to this most interesting and deserving national institu¬
tion, which was opened in March, 1S72. As its benefits arc
designed for the whole of the United Kingdom, not for London
alone, local efforts have been made at Liverpool, Manchester,
and Leeds, Glasgow and Edinburgh, to obtain the funds needed
for its secure establishment and maintenance upon a suitable
scale. We would invite the friendly aid of our contemporaries
on tho provincial press, along with the metropolitan daily and
weekly journals, to advocate this good cause. Thirty thousand
is the estimated number of the blind in Great Britain and
Ireland There is no reason why they should not be taught to
earn their own livelihood. It must be confessed that tho simple

manual labours of weaving and plaiting—work rather lit for pii-.
boners in a House of Correction—which are offered to the in-

Govemment Inspector of Schools, _ •- . education.

religious teaching, with duo respect for particular opinions,
fS^Sed to. The theory and pntetice o> music

including composition and analysis, singing and plajing, and
the mechanical work of tuning and repairing instruments aro
taught in proportion to the capacities of intUvidtud
They have the privilege of attending not only the concerts but
the ^rehearsals of the CiysW Palaoe w

esteemed the best in England, and one of the best in Europe.
Great care is taken to preserve their health and bodily vigour
by regular gymnastics and by open-air games in a very large
playground/ The visitors who, on Fnday week, saw these
young people around their Christmas-tree, and heard their
concert of music, were not a little gratified with the Royal
Normal College of Music for the Blind at Norwood. W e can¬
not doubt that its merits will soon lie recognised by an ample
list of subscribers and donors to the fund required for its ex¬
tension and safe establishment. The treasurer and honorary
secretary, whose names and addresses are stated above, will
gladly receive wbatovor may be given for this good object.

mates of some well-endowed Asylums for the Blind, can never
answer this purpose. Five or six shillings a week may be earned,
in this way/by tho pupils who are discharged from the Asylum;
but for the remaining cost of their living they must either be a
permanent burden on the charity of friends, or must be relieved
at the expense of the poor rate. There are a few other occu¬
pations, for which blind persons are not entirely disqualified,
and in which some may possibly get employment, as a favour,
at very low wages, from eight to ten or twelve shillings a week.
But their general condition, if not destitute, is extremely
depressed; and even those who are maintained by tho
assistance of their own family must often desire in vain the
means of gaining an independence. We believe that, iu a
great many enacts, not oflly ui-Wn» luw«i mindlo ranks

of society, lile-long distress might be saved by providing for
the special instruction of the blind in some remunerative em¬
ployment connected with the art of music. It is most credit¬
able to the leading members of the great London piano-manu¬
facturing trade that they havo, in accordance with our sug¬
gestion two years ago, frankly attached themselves to this
movement. The new institution has been much favoured also
with the patronage of the highest English nobility, led by tho
Dukes of Bedford, Devonshire, Northumberland, and Suther¬
land, and by the Marquis of Westminster, its president, with
tho Earls of Shaftesbury and Lichfield as trustees. Tlie Hon.
William Ashley is chairman of the executive committee, Sir
Rutherford Alcock is treasurer (at 14, Great Qneen-strect, West¬
minster), Sir W. Stemdale Bennett is chairman of tho musical
committee, and Mr. G. H&rcourt Chambers is the honorary
secretary, at 28, Mount-street, Grosveuor-square.

Tho Royal Normal College of Music for the Blind (if we
may omit the words “ and Academy” from its official title) is
established in several houses adjoining each other at the Mount
and Paxton-terrace, Wes tow-street, close to the Crystal Palace,
in tho suburban village of Upper Norwood. About forty or
forty-five is the number of pupils, boys and girls, for whom
accommodation can as yet bo provided ; and it is with sincere
regret that tho director and committee are obliged to refuse
admission to many who would readily lie sent, if there were
moro room for them, upon the moderate terms for board and
instruction. This arrangement is usually marie through local
committees of the Royal Normal College adopting the care of
individual scholars, or else through the directors of a local
Blind Asylum or similar charity. It is the design of tho Royal
Normal College, when £25,000 shall have been raised, to pur¬
chase a site of six acres and a half, and to erect buildings for
the reception of 150 pupils, with school and class rooms, prac¬
tising and tun nig rooms, an organ, and forty pianos. . An
appeal to the public for this object was made hist May, in a
letter signed by the Marquis of Westminster (donor of £1200)
and by Ix>rd Shaftesbury, which api>eared in the daily papers ;
and the Lord Mayor, al>out Midsummer, called a meeting at
the Mansion House, with the same purpose in view. Wo trust
that the attempt will bo renewed in the seasou now approach¬
ing, with better success. This would be amply secured if the
Duke of Edinburgh, who « not only a musician, but a ‘piano¬
forte-tuner, conld bring his newly-married Duchess next May
or June to visit the College at Norwood, and to witness the
performance of the blind pupils.

In the meantime the College is open to friends coming for
its inspection, and they are sure to be pleased with all that
they see and hear. The accomplished and experienced
Principal, Mr. F. J. Campbell, is a blind man, who has long
been esteemed in England and America for las abilities as a
musician, as a teacher, and as an administrative manager. He
• was, during about fourteen years, tho musical director, ami,
duiing half that period, the resident superintendent, of the
Perkins* Institute for the Blind at Boston, Massachusetts, one
of the best institutions of this kind. It is mentioned by Dr.
Armitage, in'his book on “The Education and Employment of
the Blind,” with high commendation. In the United States,
we are told, there are blind teachers of music earning £400 or
£500 a year; and some arc appointed organists with good
salaries. In Paris, it is remarked, they get employment in
pianoforte-tuning more easily than in teaching; the tuners
make from £S0 to £150 a year, and one makes £250. Some
branches of repairing are also practised by the blind. We ob¬
serve the names of Messrs. Broaawood, Messrs. Collard, and other
eminent manufacturing firms, among the benefactors of the
Norwood Institution. With regard to the general and tech¬
nical instruction there given during a course of three years,
its quality is certified by a letter from Mr. J. Rice Byrne,

FINE ARTS.

SIR EDWIN LANDSEERS WORKS AT TI1E ROYAL ACADEMY.

In reserving the present exhibition exclusively for tlie works
of Sir Edwin Landseer the Royal Aeademy has evinced a
becoming sense of the lustre reflected upon it by its deceased
member, although a collection of the works of any one painter,
however popular and attractive, cannot be so variously in¬
structive as one of those gatherings of select examples of
great masters of different schools which have hitherto formed
the winter displays at Burlington House. We doubt, even,
w hether this collection, not far from complete as it is, of Sir
Edwin’s life-work wall really benefit his reputation, though it
may still further extend his vast popularity. It cannot reveal
much more of his humorous and pathetic invention and powers
of design than we know already through the medium of
eDgravinf’s from his works, while many of the works themselves
will be disappointing to those who have hitherto known them
solely by the engravings. It is also only in the worksof his earlier
and best time, and in some few exceptional productions of later
date, that the painter's executive qualities can be regarded
really noble, sound, and complete, rather than excessively
dextrous, taking, and specious—or as susceptible of com¬
parison with the technical mastery of Rubens, Snyders,
Potter, Wcenix, Hondekoetor, Fyt, Wouvermans, and other
old painters of animal nature. Very rarely indeed ib colour nn
artistic element of value in Sir Edwin Laudsecr’s pictures ; and
we must look for other attributes to find the secrets of their
popularity. Then there are whole classes of Landseer’s w r orks,
particularly those with human figures, painted under courtly
and fashionable influence, which are not only quite unworthy
of him, but have a positive artificiality of taste, a conventional
elegance of shallow flattery which must be regarded as re¬
prehensible by honest criticism. While painting under this
influence, even Sir Edwin’s animals, and not merely his domestic
pets, but bis wild beasts, acquire a sleek, tame . aspect, as
though carciullv urenared by the taxidermiy . for
presentation. Him are.LtbWcB. i

which are so incredibly weak in drawing, so ini ]

modelling, and so opaque in colour, that it must L

This collection is, as w e have intimated, nearly complete.
Except about twenty works, among w hich are “ The Drive, the
large “ Chevy Chase,”&c., the only worksof imj^ortance not in¬
cluded here are those in tho South Kensington Museum.
We can imagine that the authorities at Brompton would have
been little disposed to part with their Landseers for several
months, even if the removal of them to Piccadilly be not pre-
ented by conditions attached to the Sheepshanks gift and

at the South Kensington Museum. A series of email Conti,
ncntal sketches, dated 1840, executed in water colour*, with t
liberal use of the reed pen, together with some ektfcha rf
earlier date, are very remarkable for their union of ireedcti
and precision, and for a lifelike spirit, which we miss, at
in the figures, in later works. We would especially eemmew
to notice the “ Pulpit in Belgium ’ (37), " Gossips at tb
Fountain, Aix-la-Chapelle ” (35), “Sketch at Mechlin" (31),
and “ Market-Place, Geneva” (41). Tho expressiveness and
descriptiveness of these drawings and their definition of
detail are naturally yielded by “the point" when m
competent hands. But in a crayon drawing of tho Bann?
date (1840) of a “Plough at Waterloo” (37), in whkk
the “ stump ” has been freely used, we already see some o:
that satiny glossiness which was a too frequent characteristic
of Sir Edwin’s animal textures in later years. Subsequently
corresponding with the change of practice in his oil-pjfinfing,
wo find Landseer partiaLly discarding the use of the point, ami
executing his sketches and studies xor pictures with charcoal
and coloured crayons, in apparently too great reliance on the
breadtlis of tone and hue so readily afforded by those soft ma¬
terials ; the consequence being a progressive tendency to flatnesi
and emptiness. Still, as suggestive charcoal sketches, one could
hardly wish for anythingbetter than “ The Eagle’s Nest
(79) and “Scene in tho Forest” (83) ; and it would he difficult
to imagine anything more masterly, in their slight, sketchy
way, than the large drawings in coloured crayons of a flying
stag nearly overtaken by a deerhound (47) and the “Stag*
Browsing" (113). In tho same facile material is the linishti
study for the picture exhibited a few years back of "The
Queen on a Pony, at Osborne ” (48). Her Majesty ri in her
willow’s weeds ; John Brown, who holds the ponjrs head, is
also in the deepest mourning; the pony is black, so is tho dog,
aud the very sky weeps. “Man, Horses, and Dogs: a
Study (124) is an example of Sir Edwin in fresco; and it ii
in excellent preservation. Not so the semicircular fresco, in
the second room, of a “Scene from Comus " (17*2). one of
tlie dceoiations of the pavilion of Buckingham Pa)»« e, oi ecu toil
by way of experiment, at tlie request of the Prince Consort,
when the decoration of the Westminster Palace was on foot. ,
This, like its fellow’-frescoes in the same pavilion that wen
exposed to the open air, lias become a complete wreck. Fortu- ^
nately, Landseer’s composition is preserved in the oil-painting {
of the Bell collection at South Kensington.

I ^n.11,,1 *• Harvest fu the Highland*, " iu which Landseer,

has

painted horses, &c. Three small pictures of a rox \l\oO),
•‘Stag just Shot” (161), and “WWlcock” (162), are alsto of

of

Vernon bequest. The first room on entering is devoted to
sketches, studies, and drawings in pencil, jien-and-ink, clialk,
coloured crayons, w ater colours, and iresco. The five following
rooms are appropriated to oil-paintings, and a seventh room is
occupied by works in black and white, including etchings and
engravers’proofs from some of Iandseer’s w orks, but including
only those touched on by the artist himself, and a few’ proofs
after originals not in the exhibition. Mr. Graves, who lias

E ublished most of the engravings from Landseer, offered, we
olieve, for exhibition at Burlington House a very complete
set of the best proofs and impressions of the x^ates after
Landseer; but the offer w as declined by the Academy,
and Mr. Graves has had to content himself by exhibiting
His collection of engravings in a small room called the
“Burlington Gallery," nearly opposite to the Academy in
Piccadilly. We quite appreciate the scrupulousness of tho
Forty in resolving to limit their Landseer exhibition to work
actually from the artist’s own hand ; and possibly the addition
of several hundred xdates by various engravers might have pro¬
duced a sense of weaiisome roxietition, even if in some instances
the engraving should have proved more acccxitable than the
original picture itself. At the same time, one must feel the
absence of such engravings as Mr. S. Cousins’s superb mezzotint
from “Titania and Bottom,” and many of the congenial trans¬
lations by the painter’s own brother, Mr. Thomas Landseer.
Probably, therefore, it will bo generally considered that tho
Academy would Lave acted more wisely in admitting a com-
Xilctc scries of engravings, especially ob four of the rooms
available .are unoccuxficd.

A far Ws questionable- cause for complaint is, however, tho
total want in the hanging of all classification beyond that of
sex>arating the drawings and engravings from tlie oil paintings,
the xdacing the largest of the latter in the Gvcat Room, anil
the making the frames match everywhere as nearly as may be.
The whole of the 532 works are hung in utter disregard of the
date at which they were produced. The consequences aro
that the impression produced is most confusing, and the
lessons which so comprehensive a representation of an artist’s
life-work is so well calculated to yield, if arranged to illustrate
his development, culmination, anil decline, are either lost or
only to be learnt by difficult and laborious comparison. We
do not ask for a perfect chronological arrangement; but wo
feel sure that a sufficiently agreeable collocation on the walls
could have been attained by disposing the oil paintings in
groups according to dates, embracing five or ten years, and so
with the drawings and engravings. Nor is the catalogue,
though freer than usual from clerical or typographical errors,
a considerable improvement on its predecessors. It is more
like a bare auctioneer’s list than a catalogue raisonnt, such as
the Royal Academy should produce on occasions such as this.
The dimensions of the oil paintings are given, and frequently
the dates at which they were painted; but in the case of cxhi
bited works particulars as to when and where they
exhibited ought to have been added.

The firot room contains, as we have said, nothing but draw*

early date, as appears by their comparatively juicy colouring,
their close adherence to and vigorous realisation of Nature.
“Lion and Dash "(159), a majestic mastiff and a backing
spaniel, is a sounder, though less taking, version of thethemo
afterwards entitled “Dignity and Impudence. lie
Princess Royal and Eos" (169), the latter a black hound, with
its nose poked fondlingly beneath tho little foot of the bat)
Princess as she lies in her cot, is one of the best, of bir
Edwin's Royal portrait pictures. The forms are well rounds
and the colouring unusually agreeable. It is (Mncult
believe that tlie picture near this, though painted only the year
following (IS42), called “Windsor Castle in Modira luma
(173), and containing portraits of the Queen in evening costume
and the Prince as a siiortsman, near an open oriel, overloov
ing a tr im lawn, can be by the same band, so laborious!) r
smooth, so tawdrily bright, and intensely artificial is thewhok
saving tho group of game in the foreground, which, it nwj *
hardly be said, is excellently painted. We will only afl' j
regarding this very disappointing work that in the well-kuo^
engraving the astonishing disproportions in the figures of be
M ajesty and the Prince are greatly modified. As if to show b**
infinitely more at home Landseer xvas as a painter of ruiiiM- 1

Invaded by Sea Eagles ” (156), exhibited in 1S69, and one of
the most important of Sir Edwin’s later finished works. Some
naturalists maintain that this picture is altogether wrong in
fact—that eagles do not attack in this way, do not fight with
their beaks, but with their talons, tlxat in such a contest the
birds’ plumage would not remain flat and sleek, and that many
feathers would be torn out, and so forth ; but we will not
reopen the controversy. Certain it is the feathers of the
outspread eagles’ pinions and other passages of this vigorous,
vivid, and daring performance contain some amazingly dex¬
trous manipulation in the artist’s broad, indicative, later style.
Still, this mastery of hand surprises by its facile sm gestivencss
rather than satisfies by completely descriptive realisation, as in
his earlier pictures and the works of the old masters. The
picture, moreover, has the thin, clay- cold colouring of most of
the later works. “TheSick Monkey ” (190), exhibited in 1870
under the title, “Doctor’s Visit to Poor Relations, Zoological
Gardens,” is one of the very best, though one of the last, of the
painter’s works. Whether such intensity of expression is ever
seen or possible in the visages of our 11 poor relations ” we
will not pretend to say, but nothing assuredly can be moro
pathetic than the grief of the nursing mother and the pain-
worn lassitude of the nurseling. The colouring, also, is altogether
exceptionally fine — the harmony of the olive russet and citron
browns is perfect, and not less artistic is the contrast of the
black hair of the healthy young monkey with the oranges he is
devouring or has greedily appropriated. Here wo must pause
for the present. _

Mr. W. P. Frith, It.A., has been elected a member of
the Royal Academy of Sweden. A similar honour, unsolicited,
has been before conferred on the popular English painter by
tho Academies of Belgium And Austria.

Two interesting sales took placo last week at Paris, and
prices ran high. The collection of M. Carpeaux, tho weil-
known sculptoT, realised 90,000f.; the model of the celebrated
marble group at the front of the now Opera alone fetched GOOOf.
The other sale was that of the sculptor Carrier - Bellenso,
whose group, “ La Confidence, ” was purchased by M. Dobronsse
for GOOOf. ; the total proceeds of the sale amounting to G9,000f.

Mr. William Tel bin, the eminent scene-painter, died on
Christmas Day. Ho had been an invalid for some time, and
had never recovered the depressing effect of liia son’s death,
which occurred through an accident while on a sketching
excursion in tho Alps, some years ago. Mr. Telbin was in his
bixty- first year. _

WILLS AND BEQUESTS.

The will and codicil, dated respectively Oct. 18, 1869, and
July 17 1S73, of the Right Hon. Ernest Augustus, Earl of
Lisburne, who died at his seat, Oosswood, Cardiganshire, on
Nov. 8, were proved on tho 31st ult. by Edward Mallet
Vauohan, the acting executor, the personal estate being sworn
under £60,000. After giving some legacies to his wife aud a
legacy to his daughter, Lady Elizabeth Mallet Jones, tho
testator devises certain farms to his second son, the
Edward Courtenay Vaughan, and the remainder of his freehold,
copyhold, and leasehold estates to his eldest son, Loid
Vaughan, for life, with remainder to his eldest son; tho resi¬
due of his personalty he gives to his said second son.

Tho will of Lord Richard Cavendish, late of No. 16, Savile-
row, and of Coopers, Chiselhurst, who died on Nov. 19, was

THE

LATE LIEUTENANT-COLONEL
PEMBERTON.

An incident of the.late war between^Francc
and H Germany, much deplored as a private
sorrow by many English friends, was the
death of this gentleman, who accompanied one
of the German armies as special correspondent
of the Times, A monument has been erected
to his memory in the parish church of Newton,
near Cambridge. Tho sculptor is Mr. M.
Noble. The design, shown in our Illustra¬
tion, represents an angel bringing a message of
heavenly consolation to the bereaved family.
The following is the inscription Sacred
to the memory of Christopher Peach Pember¬
ton, late Captain and Lieutenant-Colonel Scots
Fusilier Guards, eldest son of Christopher
Robert Pemberton, Esq., of this parish. He
was killed at the battle of Sedan, on Sept. 1,
1870, in the thirty-second year of his ago,
being present with tho 12fch Corps of the
Prussian army, for the purpose of observing
and recording the events of the war between
France and Germany. He fell, towards the
close of the battle, whilst advancing with the
staff of tho Crown Prince of Saxony. With
more than ordinary talent was blended a
chivalrous personal courage, combined with a
warm and affectionate heart, revealed by the
beautiful sentiments of Christian piety and
benevolence pervading his published letters on
this sanguinary war. Beloved and lamented
by all who knew him ; deeply deplored by his
afflicted family. 4 He that believeth in Me,
though he were dead, yet shall he live; and
whosoever livoth and believeth in Me shall
never die.’ 25th and 26th verses of the 11th
chapter of St. John.” A portrait and memoir
of Lieutenant-Colonel Pemberton appeared in
this Journal some time ago.

WANDSWORTH NEW BRIDGE.

This bridge, which has been built by a com¬
pany in the last two years, was lately opened
by Colonel Hogg, chairman of the Metro¬
politan Board of Works. As it gives more
direct access to Fulham from the railways on
tho Surrey side, about Clapham Junction, it
will make Fulham a more convenient place of
residence, w'hile it joins Wandsworth to the
suburbs of Fulham and Chelsea, West Bromp-
ton and South Kensington. The extreme
length of the bridge, from its commencement
on the Surrey side of the river, between the
old Wandsworth Pier and Messrs. Watney’s
distillery, to the Middlesex shore, is about
1500 ft., including the approaches, which are
by embankments and over brick arches. The
approaches on the Surrey side are connected
with York-road. Battersea, by an easy
gradient; whilst on tne rulham side the
approaches communicate with the King’s-road,
near Broomhouse-lane. The bridge stretches
across the river by five spans, supported by
four river piers formed of wrought-iron cylin¬
ders, and snore abutment piers on each aide of
tho river, of massive red brickwork and
masonry. The shore spans are each 113 ft.
6 in. in length, 'while the three spans in the
stream are 133 ft. each in length. The cylinder
piers in the river are 7 ft. 6 in. in diameter,
each pier consisting of two cylinders con¬
nected transversely under the platform of
the bridge. The cylinders are sunk to a depth
of 14ft. rnto the clay, and rest upon a thick
bed of concrete placed under them, the cylin¬
ders themselves being also filled in -with that
material. The centre of tho bridge has a clear

MARSHAL BAZAINE'S PRISON.

The sentence of death passed by tho court,
martial at Versailles upon tho unfortunatt
commander of Napoleon Ill.’s army at Net*
was commuted to that of imprisonment for life
in the Isle of St Marguerite, near Cannes, on
the Mediterranean coast of France. We taw
thank a correspondent, Colonel E. T. Coke,
for three photographs of the scenery of thii
place, which were taken by himself. Tb
island is described by him as two miles long 1
by half a mile broad, and distant only three »
quarters of a mile from the Croisotte Point»t
Cannes, which looks towards the fort. Thii
building has accommodation for about 1000 men
It was erected in 1637, and is celebrated as the
place of confinement for many years of the
“Man with the Iron Mask.” His cell is the
great attraction for the visitors who como to
the island from Cannes during the winter
season. It is a miserable, cellar-like place,
vaulted like a casemate. Its whitewashed
walls are covered with thousands of English
and American autographs. There is a single
window, with a triple row of iron grates, -
couple of feet apart. The cell is 21 ft. Dy 18 ft
There are several other similar chambers ina
the same corridor. Adjoining it is a build--
ing of three floors, with strongly iron-b^ a

pu8t. A certain number of them were s
to come over to Cannes daily for mark 1
and wandered dolefully about the st

except the garrison of tho fort arc a few wood- j

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS..

LONDON f SATURDAY, JANUARY 17, IS74.

There hns been a ^Ministerial crisis in France—a Parlia¬
mentary defeat, a resignation, and a return to power of
the lie Broglie Cabinet. The National Assembly had
adjourned for a few days during the Christinas holidays,
and on coding together again they were invited by the
Government to proceed with a bill authorising the
nomination by the Minister of the day to the office of
Mayor in every' commune of the Republic. It was a
sort of provisional measure, intended to operate during
the interval which must elapse before the adoption or
organic laws for the regulation of municipal affairs. The
order of tlie day for taking the bill into consideration
having been l ead, the Marquis of Franclicu, an ultr.i-
Legithnist, submitted au amendment to the effect that thj
further consideration of it should be x>ostpoued with a view
to embody it, if necessary, in the organic laws. The
Chamber was not by any means numerously attended.V-
Sevcral members, little dreaming of what would happen
in their absence, had prolonged their stay in the country
beyond the term fixed for the reassembling of the LiOgH
lature. Mau\\ however, owluu. ot dr

measure, tmameaToi set purpose, in the lobby dimir
the progress of the debate and the division. Tho coil
sequence was that the Vac de Broglie was placed in
I minority of 4J, tuni thts bill t vsv* no further proceed*^

with that night.

All the Ministers, as soon as passible, placed their
portfolios at the disposal of Marshal MacMahon, Presi¬
dent of the Republic. Undoubtedly the President had
sound constitutional reasons for declining to accept
tlie resignation of his Cabinet. The vote which post¬
poned the bill for the nomination of Mayors was carried
by what we should call in this country a “snap
division.” It did not indicate on the face of it tho true
feeling of the Assembly. It was brought about by the
accidental conjunction of the whole Republican party
with a section of the Legitimists pro /oh uict. It was
given in a comparatively thin House. It offered no basis
upon which a new and stronger Administration might lie
formed. It resembled in many respects the vote by
which Nil*. Gladstone’s Irish University Bill was de¬
feated last spring. But it was followed, ou Monday last,
by two remedial or counteractive votes, given by a much
fuller House—one declaring continued confidence in the
Ministers, the other ordering that tlie bill .should be
proceeded with next day. These, of course, satisfied the
amour propre of the Cabinet, and hence their resignations
of office were withdrawn.

The bill which has thus disturbed for a time the
political position of President MacMahou's Ministers can
hardly be regarded as a proof of their sagacity. So far
as can be judged from the testimony of competent and
disinterested observers, there is no urgent call for it by
the passing circumstances of the country. Here and

there, it may be admitted, village mayors may have
made themselves chargeable for wanton opposition t > the
* eC a* 0nS *°^ su P ef iors, and may have been guilty
°1 on ending not only against good taste, but again#
political propriety. But such cases have boon ex¬
tremely exceptional, hardly amounting to one iu a
thousand. The principle of the measure of the
ce Broglie lias already been anticipated iu popnl !l *
towns, and will become operative eliicfly in rural
communes where it is not required for social order,
lHere is no such general uneasiness in Frauce as to
lender an immediate arrangement of this nature imx’M*
° r e ' en ^Portaut. The truth seems to be th.it
i intended to place tlie electoral body in country

cl stnets m° re effectually under tlie control of th ? < i * ^n-
1 Ui * ^ 18 doubtful whether even this eul will ho

compassed by the passing of its provisions. Bat M- de
g le is somewhat painfully susceptible to ittn^ry

impressions. He seems to think that France is con¬
spiring against its own peace, and that it behoves him,
as head of the Parliamentary Government, to prevent
France from carrying her will into effect. He is, we may
say, a doctrinnaire to the verge of fanaticism, and seems
to consider—no doubt, honestly—that the system of admi¬
nistration which commends itself to his judgment should
be applied without modification, whatever may be the
t < r.ditiou or the feelings of the population of France.

It is certainly singular that the head of the present
Government has only of late discovered the necessity of
extending the reach of a centralised Executive. There
was a time not long since when M. de Broglie, in con¬
cert with his party, strongly objected to the proposal of
M. Thiers to place under the authority of the Govern¬
ment the nomination of mayors in the more populous
cities of France. He ought not to have been surprised
that a policy of decentralisation could not be so lightly
abandoned by all the members of his own party as it
has been by himself. He ought to have foreseeu that the
ultra-Legitimists would take advantage of Ills proposals,
and of the blind impetuosity with which they were
urged, to attempt? to give effect to their own views,
and, at the same time, to avenge upon the present
Government the failure of their scheme to reinstal the
ancient Monarchy of France in the person of the Comte
de Chambord. The Due has made a gross mistake in
tactics, and has suffered from it; and, albeit he may yet
cany his bill, the influence of the circumstances under
which he will carry it will go far towards neutralising its
political and party value, even according to the standard
by which he would estimate it.

There has been some excitement of the public mind
stirred by this event, but over no very great area of
population, and not very profound in its character. No
approach towards revolutionary agitation has been made.
The French people are beginning to learn that nothing
is to be permanently gained by the adjournment of
political contests from the Parliamentary arena into the
streets. All parties—save, indeed, the extremest section of
Republicans—have accepted the lessons drilled into their
minds and hearts by the late war. They desire nothing
better at present than social order and quietude. They
would fain derive strength from industry and frugality,
such as will enable them to stand up under the load of
taxation which they have to bear. They are gradually
becoming familiar with the extremely superficial character
of mere. Parliamentary crises. They no longer see in the
fall of a Ministry a justification of revolution. In the
late events they have preserved their patience; and there
is some ground for hope that in what is yet to come
they will still preserve it. True, they have never been
P ' f ow£(l to prize political liberty in comparison with

jpAvy; s.ud in thifLresiiSfitj perhaps, the character
people has undergone no idsunV ctrawgi; wax \
pot but observe with pleasure that constitutional
nuimentaxy practices are being substituted as a j
^ for wrong, in the plnco of popular tumults
iburreetions; and that where, not many years
physical force would have been appealed to as an
id Km ate resort against political oppression, legal methods
of resistance are now preferred, and a Ministerial crisis
is resolved by constitutional means. We have good
hope that our neighbours across the Strait will habituate
themselves to the conduct of their political affairs by an
exclusive use of those means of protection or aggression
which are put within their powder by the institutions and
laws of their country.

THE IlOYAI. MARRIAGE.

The Prince and Princess of Wales and Prince Arthur,
attended by a numerous suite, and under the direction of M.
Kannd, her Majesty’s director of Continental journeys, left
London, on Saturday last, en route for St. Petersburg, to bo
present at the marriage of the Duke of Edinburgh and the
Grand Duchess Marie of Russia. Their Royal Highnesses were
accompanied from Marlborough House to Charing-cross by the
Duke of Cambridge, who, together with various friends

j sscmbled at the station, there took leave of the Royal tra¬
vellers. The Princes aud the Princess travelled in a stato
faloei), by a special train to Dover, various members of the
South-Eastern Company being in attendance. Their Royal
Highnesses arrived at Dover at ten p.m., and were received by
Major-General Sir Alfred Horsford, K.C.B., and a numerous
staff, by whom the Royal party was escorted from the
Admiralty Pier on to the spqjd.al steamer Samphire, Captain
Goldsack, in which their Royal Highnesses crossed to
Calais, whence the journey was continued by railway, over
the Nqrd line, vk\ Brussels, to Berlin. The Prince
and Princess and Prince Arthur arrived at the Lehert
station at half-past seven o’clock a.m. on Monday, where they
were received bv the Imperial Crown Prince of Germany, who
conducted the Royal visitors to his Imperial Highness’s palace.
Later in the day the Prince and Princess and Prince Arthur
paid visits to the Emperor and Empress-of Germany and the
members of the Royal family of Prussia, aud subsequently
received return visits from the Empress and the PrinceB in the
palace of the Imperial Crown Prince. Their Royal Highnesses,
accompanied by the Imperial Crown Prince aud the Imperial
Crown Princess (Princess Royal of England) and Princess
Frederick Charles, went to the Thier Garten, and passed some
time skating on the ice. The Imperial dinner party given in
honour of the Royal guests included the members of the
Prussian Royal family, the Prince and Princess of Wales, aud
Prince Arthur, together with their suites. Lord and Lady Odo
Russell, the Danish Envoy and liis wife. Prince Bismarck, Count
Moltke, the English Military Attache, and Major-General
Walker. On Tuesday the Princess of Wales, accompanied, by
the Empress of Germany, visited the Augusta Hospital aud
inspected the arrangements of the institution. The Princo of
Wales and Prince Arthur, accompanied by the Imperial Crown
Prince of Germany, went on a shooting excursion at Kcenigs-
wusterhausen. Their Royal Highnesses left Berlin in the
evening, being accompanied to the Eastern Railway station by
the Imperial Crown Prince and Grown Princess of Germany
and by the members of the British Embassy. The Royal
travellers arrived at the Russian frontier on Wednesday. They
were received by the great officials commissioned by the Czar
to accompany the special train dispatched to meet their Royal
Highnesses and to escort them to St. Petersburg, w r here they
were received with duo honours on Thursday. The Emperor
of Russia has attached Aide-de Camp General Count Hoyden to
the Prince of Wales, and Count Mussin Perschkin, Steward of
the Impe rial Household, to the Princess of Wales, daring their
Royal rlighnesses’ sojourn in Russia.

The Crown Prince aud Crown Princess of Germany will
take their life-size portraits with them to St. Petersburg as a
wedding present to the Duko of Edinburgh.

Tuesday was the twenty-third anniversary of the birth of
the Grand Puke Alexis, the Czar’s third surviving son. This
being New-Year’s Day in Russia, the Emperor held at the
palace the usual reception of the Ministers and great state
officials of the empire. The Duke of Edinburgh accompanied
the members of the Imperial family, and received the congra¬
tulations of all present on his approaching marriage. In the
evening the Cznrcwitch and Czarevna, the Duke of Edinburgh,
tho Grand Duchess Marie, and the Grand Dukes Alexis and
Vladimir went to the Italian Opera. On Wednesday the
Duke of Edinburgh inspected the Naval Museum and tho
Institute of the Ministnr of Marine. The Grand Duke
Constantine, Admiral-in-Chief, presented the Admirals and
Staff and chief naval officers of the St. Petersburg ileet to his
Royal Highness in the library of the Admiralty.

At the close of the festivities at St. Petersburg the Russian
Court will proce^l to Moscow, accompanied by all the Royal
^.\\xr^v«rrV>a-«W: mi;, vAu.ru vsro-'wt Ritea avo in preparation, which
will eclipse in miUiancy any that have taken place since the
coronation at " jhcovv in 1856.

The 1 cry v. Dr. Stanley, Dean of Westminster, and Lady
Augusta Sta y arrived at Berlhi on Sunday morning. The
Dean held Ik who service in English in the chapel of tho Crown
Prince's Palace, in the presence of the family of his Imperial
Highness. Dr. Stanley was received in audience by the Empress
of Germany. The Dean and Lady Augusta Stanley have since
proceeded to St. Petersburg. The Dean will perform the Pro¬
testant rite at the Royal and Imperial marriage.

On tho night of the marriage »St. Petersburg will be illumi¬
nated by J. Defries mid Sons, ofHoundsditch.

The Duke of Edinburgh and the Grand Duchess Marie are
expected to arrive in England about the beginning of March,
and will proceed direct from the port of disembarkation to
V indsor Castle, in order that liis Royal Highness may present
his bride to the Queen before receiving any public congratula¬
tions. Their Royal aud Imperial Highnesses, upon their
arrival in London, will reside in Buckingham Palace until the
restoration of Clarence House is completed. The palace at
Coburg, in which the Duke of Edinburgh and the Grand

THE LATE MR. WINTERBOTHAM, M.P,

THE LATE MR, J. A. G ALIGN ANT, OF PARIS,

THE LATE LIEUTENANT CI*I A ETERIS.

The death of Lieutenant Alfred Walter Charteris, the second
son and eldest that survived of Lord Elcho’s five sons, has
been mentioned with sincere reg et, as the premature* and
sudden end of a promising young officer’s career, like that of
Lieutenant Eardley Wilmot, among the first sacrifices that our
best English and Scottish families are called upon to offer to
the risks of a West African war. Lieutenant Charteris had
not, with the other young officer above n\ med, an opportunity
of meeting the enemy and receiving b)is mortal wound in
action. He died of fever, on board ll.XLi. Simoom, from the
pestilential climate of that coast, on Nov. 23, having be*n
attacked by illness very early in the campaign, for which he
had volunteered with chivalrous gallantry and demotion to a
soldier’s duty. He had obtained the appointment of aide de¬
camp to Major-General Sir Garnet Wolseley. The Hon. Alfred
Walter Charteris was twenty-six years of ago, having been
bom on June 2, 1847. He was educated at Harrow, and first
entered the Army in the 71st Regiment, but, ia August, 1869,
exchanged into the Coldstream Guards. His elder brother,

as an hereditary Dissenter, took a prominent part in the
debates on the University Tests Bill and other measures
of religious equality. In March, 1871, lie was offered by
Mr. Gladstone the office of Under-Secretary, which he accepted,
giving up his practice at the Bar and throwing himself entirely
into political life. He was, indeed, offered, soon afterwards,
the lucrative appointment of legal member of the Indian
Council of Government at Calcutta, left vacant by Mr Fitz-
james Stephen ; but this he declined. His Parliamentary con-
duct was such as to gain the esteem of opposing parties for hia
consistency and dignity of behaviour, as well asfrv. the abilities
he displayed both as a speaker, and in the indus'. ous perform¬
ance of otfioi&l •work.

B. A. in 1856 and LL. B. in 1S59 ; was
Hume Scholar in Jurisprudence in 1858,
Hume Scholar in Political Economy iu
1S59, and iu the same year University
Law Scholar. He was subsequent!}’
elected a Fellow of his college. He was

THE WAE ON THE GOLD COAST.

Our Special Artist, Mr. Melton Prior, whose arrival at Cape
Coest Castle was announced last week, contributes to this
Is' umber of our Journal a panoramic view of that seaport town
and fortress, sketched by liirn from the deck of the mail steam-
paeket Volta.

“ Cave Const” is an unmeaning mune, derived from a cor¬
ruption of the Portuguese ‘‘Cabo Corso,” which signified, in
old times, the ordinary point of termination for a “course or
cruise along the West African coast. This place lias belonged
to the English mom than 200 years, and is the head-quarters
of the Gold Coast settlements, but is subject to a Governor-
General at Sierra Leone. There is no harbour, but au open
roadstead, and the landing-place, which is very bad, as every¬
where on this coast, is in a small bay under the north-eastern
bastion of the castle, protected by a reef jutting out from a
led pc of rocks. From May to August, the ocean rolling in
with its full violence, there is a terrific surf; ^ but iu De¬
er n.ber, January, and February, the Harmattrm wind blowing
off chore, the sea is less feared here. It requires, however, much
skill at any time to manage the canoes for landing. A few stcp3
np the steep rock, which is called Tabara, rising eighteen feet
above the sea, bring the landed traveller into the gateway of
the castle. It is a vast irregular pile, covering several acres,
and in seme parts four stories high. Within it is a large
triangular space, used for drill, adorned with two mortar3 and
five old Danish brass guns. On the west side is a range of
substantial and rather stately buildings, which contain the
Council Chamber and the Government offices, with a gallery
paved in squares of black and white marble; on another side
are barracks, and bastions mounted with guns. The Castle
further includes a Court-House for trials, and quarters for the
gjirrifion. Passing out of the Spur Battery Gate, across the
esplanade, into the town, the stranger finds himself in a broad
street, lined with ragged umbrella trees, akindof ficus. He notices
the Episcopalian church and the Wesleyan meeting-house; but
the town is a mixture of white-washed houses and red-brown
clay huts, with dingy roofs of dull grey thatch. The
high ground and hills,' above the town, present several de¬
tached forts, or military buildings. The first, which lies north¬
west of the town, is Phipps’ Tow er, or Fort Victoria, a marbello
tower, so placed that in the hands of an enemy it would com¬
mand both castle and town. The second or central postjjis
Smith’s Tower, now Fort William, built by Mr. President
Maclean, another martello tower, circular below and square

above, mounting twelve guns ; it has a lighthouse, 192 ft. ab ove
sca-lcvel. The principal castle is upon the rock which rises

immediately out of the sea, and the town clusters around
it, or close behind it. On the left, or north of the
castle, is Fort Macarthy, on the crest of a detached
hill. Below, a mile north-west of the town, is a salt
lagoon, partly discharging itself into the sea. North-east is
Connor Hill, which ought to be the sanitarium of Cape Coast
Cattle. There are several large and handsome old houses iu
the town, built by the rich merchants of former days.

The native townsfolk of the lower class, who are Fantses,
arc dressed in a cotton loin-cloth and sheet wrapped about
them; they are chocolate-coloured, and not ill-shaped. The
women have necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and anklets of
metal, and their hair is drawn up to a stiff ridge, with a
pad or a high comb to support it; behind them is worn a
“cankey,” or cushion, upon ■which the baby is sometimes
carried. These women do ail the hard work, aud the gangs of
female baggage-porters hired to carry; u ovisions to the front for
tht use of our troops are shown in several of the present Hlus-
trationB. They are paid a shilling i day :‘ui the work, and
sixpence a day for tiieir subsistence while so employed. The
scene at the castle about eight 6’c*ncV i»< the morning, when as
many as 400 receive their loads and thoir ixpeimy allowance
to start for the day’s journey, is one of great bustle ; and the
women crowd upon each other so that it is difficult to keep
them in order. Tlitrypnsa in Bueca&aiun through on urchoa
gateway of the castle quadrangle, each woman bearing upon her
head a 50-lb. tin case of Australian preserved meat, or rice, or
biscuits, which she will convey a distance of twenty mile3 m
the course of the day. Some of them go no farther than this
first stage of the road, but return next day to Cape Coast
Castle, and arc then prepared for another job : others perform
four stages, day after day, thereby transporting the stores a
length of eighty miles.

The Fantee men, who have proved cowardly and worthless
as soldiers, are also employed as store-carriers in the farther
stages of the road, but they will run away into the bush at
every opportunity, and hundreds of them are flogged in punish¬
ment of this offence. The women, though troublesome, are not
so bad as the men. A few of the girls are not ugly, but those
of middle age cannot be praised for them good looks. They
are very clean in their persons and clothing, yet a disagreeablo
smell arises from the negro skin when heated by toil under the
sun of that climate. A large number of these people are
slaves, owned by persons who are not British subjects, and out¬
side the very narrow jurisdiction of the British Government. A
young w oman is bought and sold for £5 at Cape Coast Castle,
m spite of the laws and opinions of the English people.

When more bearers are wanted, a few of the head women
are sent round the town to summon them to the castle, by
ringing a bell and making proclamation in a loud voice. In our
Aitisvs sketch of this and another street scene, the reader sees
bow the Cape Coast Castle w r omen do their laundry-work, wash¬
ing and hanging up things to dry, in the most public manner;
and how their children, all but naked, roll about or gambol in
the street, with sheen and goats, dogs and fowls, straying freely
over the ground. The squalid lanes and alleys inhabited by
those people were explored by our Artist; but he was obliged
to hold a scented handkerchief to his nose, and could not make
a sketch. He tells us of the ruinous state of their llab-roofed
mud hovels, which sometimes fall aud bury whole families, alive
or dead, in a heap of rubbish. The floor of a room in these
dwellings is the hard earth, with a gutter across it for the water
to inn off; the fireplace consists of three cones of baked clay,
between which the fire is made, and the pot for cooking rests
upon their tops. Our Correspondent found a Fantee matron,
with a baby perched and tied upon the curious bundle at the
lower part of her back, engaged iu preparing a dish of maize
porridge, which he was kindly invited to snare; but he had
uo stomach for the food in that house, and her invitation was
politely declined.

The date of liis last letter was Dec. lfi, and he was to start,
on the 20th, in company with the Standard correspondent, for
tin advanced guard of the expedition on the banks of the
Fiah. General Sir Garnet Wolseley had allowed him all the
facilities and needful accommpdation he could reasonably
desire. We have new s by telegraph to the 27th, on w’hich day
the General and his staff, with the naval brigade, 400 strong,
left Cope Coast Castle for the Prah. The European troops (the
Rifle Brigade and Welsh Fusiliers, if not the 42nd Highlanders)
were expected to advance on New-Year’s Day. The country
bt\ < nd the Prah, in the dominions of Ashantee, had been ex-
ploi c d to seven miles north of that river, by scouts who found no
sign of the enemy there; but the Ashantee army had left many

dead along its line of retreat. Captain Glover, with his force
of natives at the mouth of the river Volta, had not been able to
proceed up the country. “The unwillingness of the natives,
for fetish reasons,” is assigned as the cause of this failure. He
would therefore first turn his arms against a hostile coast tribe,
the Almra8, and then march to join Sir Garnet Wolseley on the
Prah about the 14th inst. The town of Chamah, where the
boats’ party of Commodore Commerell was attacked at an
earlier period of the war, has been destroyed by the neighbour¬
ing people of Connnenda. The Royal Engineers w'ere con¬
structing the telegraph, from Cape Coast Castle to tho I rah, at
the rate of six miles a day. The late military commandant,
Lieutenant-Colonel Testing, Royal Marine Artillery, has been
promoted to the rank of Colonel for his services on the Gold
Coast. It is hoped that the campaign may bo accomplished in
the months of January and February, aud before the middle of
March.

“ EARLY LESSONS.”

In the “good old.times,” to which this pleasantly-conceived
and cleverly-executed picture, by Mr. Valentine W. Bromley,
carries us back, youth were taught some things which have
almost dropped out of the modem curriculum of education,
physical or mental. Foremost among these was the art of
fencing. When every gentleman carried a sword, it was neces¬
sary to know how to use it ; when war-service was not con¬
fined to a distinct profession, and when the social manners
were such that every one was liable to a challenge and dared
not decline, it was also of literally vital importance to know
how to handle a sword well. Be it remembered also that the
rapier was the sword in general use—a weapon to be master of
which demands long training of eye, and hand, and foot, and a
development of the flexor and extensor muscles of the whole
frame, so as to command the utmost agility combined with
power. The dements of fencing seem simple enough, yet
nothing but the severest training will render anyone a master
of the subtleties of carte and tierce, feint, and thrust and
parry; so, as we see in this picture of the old retainer play¬
fully engaged with his little master, the lessons in this * ‘ noble
ait ” liaa to be commenced early. The little fellow is heir,
perhaps, of a great house, and the “early lessons ” may be of
sei-vice on many romantic occasions by-and-by ; but we must
leave the artist’s suggestions to the reader’s imagination.
Suffice it to add that the picture is in the Exhibition of the
Society of British Artists.

Thursday, Jan. 15.

We have had a somewhat agitated political w’eek, commencing
with the adjournment of the proposed municipal law and the
resignation of the Ministry, and concluding, singularly enough,
with the obnoxious measure and the reinstatement of the
Government in power. The preliminary debate on the Nomi¬
nation of Mayors Bill opened with a Bpeech from M. de
Franelitu, a Legitimist of the extreme school, who proposed
postponing the discussion on the measure until after the vote
on the organic municipal law. While violently attacking the
Republican party, he strongly opposed the contemplated
measure, observing that at each election the revolutionary flood
might he seen rising, and that, however well organised the
municipalities might be, they would be powerless to stem the

the dav pure and simple demanded by the Left and explo¬
its confidence in the Cabinet by Sj 9 ayes to 321 noes. Th a $
ting terminated by the Chamber deciding to discuss m
obnoxious municipal law* on the morrow, in spite of its pretw
vote, which bad postponed the debate indefinitely. **

Tuesday’s sitting opened with a vigorous speech from ^
Louis Blanc against the proposed nomination of provincial niw v
by the Government to which an obscure member of the Rll
the Marquis de Yalfons, attempted to reply. M. ChriatophU
combated the proposed measure in the name of .the
Centre, attacking the Due de Broglie with great
and reminding him that in 1SH9 he had declared hiwsalf tok
“the devoted son of the principles of 1789.” “I toll
exclaimed M. Chris tophi o, as he sat down amid thu loqj

from replying, M. Baraguon defending the proposed muabiu]

M. Pascal Duprafc, a member of the Left, maintained that»(.
real object of the measure was to favour Monarchical schtay
but that the attempt to effect a restoration would merely kaii
tate the return of the Empire. Loud cheers from the Ltd
followed these remarks. The House by 37S against 310
then declared the general debate closed, and agreed to proct-j
to the discussion of the articles. M. de Pressenstf afterward
brought forward a counter-project in opposition to the Coven-
ment bill, but it was defeated by a majority of 64.

of diplomatists, functionaries, and deputies ; the ladica, u i
matter of course, boing largely represented. A temporary

SPAIN.

Carthagena has at length fallen, the insurgent Junti
escaping in a man-of-war with about 2500 of their most despe¬
rate followers. Overtures were made to General Doming
on Monday. He required unconditional surrender, promising
pardon to all who gave up their arms within four-aud-twcnfcy
hours, the members of the old and new Juntas executed. The
same night the troops entered the town, but not till the ring¬
leaders had escaped. As the Numancia steamed out of tho
harbour she passed five Government frigates, and there was it
one time an appearance of engaging her ; but in the end it wa
deemed advisable to give her a wide berth. Though it missri
the Numancia, the Spanish fleet has captured a small steamer,
the Darro, which was trying to escape from Carthagena with
refugees. It is reported from Oran that the Nujaairif Iim
surrendered to the French authorities, and is llyin n
colours. The Mendez Nunez lias reached anot'- u pN

port, with a French frigate attending her. As ^ ^ rou

made iTlong speech in favour of its postpdfiemont, defending
the conduct of the Republican party, and stigmatising that of
the Government iu the strongest terms. The. Dup de Broglie
next mounted the tribune, and in the < rnVTSes of hH *liort address
said the Cabinet absolutely required to be anned with the pro¬
posed powers. He was, however, answered, in the most
felicitous maimer, by M. Picard.

The debate eventually took a most singular turn. On Pre¬
sident Buffet putting the question of postponement to the vote
by the members rising or remaining seated, it was evident that
the majority was with the Left, the benches of the Right being
but thinly filled ; still, in tbe midst of considerable confusion,
the Bureau declared the trial doubtfok It was repeated a
second tint©, with the same result, the Left loudly protesting
against the evident bad faith of the President aud the Bureau.
A secret and nominal ballot having been demanded, to prevent
the members of the Right from voting for absent friends, as
they often did, M. Haenfcjens, a Bonapartist, proposed to
leave the balloting open till next day. This was protested
against by the Left, and a violent and confused discussion
arose, in which MM. Grdvy, Fournier, De Kerdrel, and Presi¬
dent Buffet took part. The question debated was the delaying
of the vote owing to there not being 509 delegates present. M.
Buffet, having vacated the Presidential fauteuil, was replaced by
M. de Goulard, who, when the scrutiny was over, insisted upon
postponing the proclamation of the result for a quarter of au
hour, to enable absent deputies to avrive and vote. M.
Duvergicr de Hauranne, on protesting against the Vice-Presi¬
dent’s partiality, found himself called to order for his pains.
At length the result was made known, and it appeared that
the Government had been defeated by a majority of 42. It
was evident that the vote had been directed more against the
Due de Broglie personally than against the Cabinet as a col¬
lective body. The Ministers, however, decided to stand or
fall with their Premier, and unanimously resigned. Marshal
MacMahon, as had been foreseen, refused to accept their
resignations, and the Assembly, having adjourned until Mon¬
day to give the Government time to adopt some line of
action, the delay was utilised by tbe Cabinet to recruit all tbeir
absent partisans and prepare for a decisive battle.

Monday’s sitting opened with an interpellation from M. dc
Kerdrel, who, in the name of the Conservative “ Majority de
combat,” urged the Government to remain at its post. The
Due de Broglie replied that the Assembly had adjourned the
discussion on the proposed municipal law, and that, as the
Ministry felt that it would be impossible to govern the country
without this measure, it had been obliged to resign. The
members of the Right immediately proposed an order of the
day expressing the confidence of the Assembly in the Govern¬
ment ; and a vote was about to be taken,'when M. Raoul
Duval, one of tho Due de Broglie’s most bitter personal
enemies, mounted the tribune, and delivered a long speech
equally condemning the equivocal conduct of Government and
the servile attitude of the majority. He wanted to know’
what was the real Government of France—a Republic,
an Empire, or a Monarchy ; and whether Marshal Mac Mahon’s
presidency was a mere fiction, and nothing more. He in¬
sinuated that the Due de Broglie and his colleagues wore work¬
ing behind the scenes in favour of some pretender, and con¬
cluded by announcing that he and his friends w ould not vote
the order of the day expressing confidence in the Ministry.

quence of the capture of Carthagena, part of

given by the Times correspondent at Berlin as followsW
Uitramontanes, 12 Socialists, 15 Poles aud Danes, 15 Alsathat ,
10 Particularists, 10 anti-Ministorial Conservatives, 10 doubtful

INULA.

Last week’s official telegram respecting the famine in
Bengal is favourable as to some districts, but alarming as to
others. Behar is stated to be in a critical condition ; and,
should the rain keep off for another fortnight, there will bo
widespread distress. In the Presidency there is no change.
In Patna the prospects of the spring crop are satisfactory. In
Bhaugulpore the situation has improved.

The Times of Thursday publishes a telegram from Calcutta,
dated the 14th, stating that rain has fallen in several districts
of Bengal, with benefit to the crops. Prices continue to rise ;
and in Patna and elsewhere the number of people employed at

THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH AND HIS
BRIDE.

The marriage of oim Queen’s second son to the Czar’s only
daughter is an occasion for congratulating both the English and
Russian nations, and all the civilised w r orld of Europe, and all
that still needs the civilising power of these two great empires
in Asia, upon the prospect of future peace and friendly co-ope¬
ration. His Imperial Majesty Alexander II. is a just, benevo¬
lent, and truly liberal Sovereign, in whose disposition, proved
by all his acts during nineteen years, we find the surest pledge
of an enlightened policy, agreeable to the real interests of man¬
kind. The good intention of his Government seem to be appre¬
ciated by the ntiglibouring Courts of Berlin and Vienna ; aud
there is co lessen why the statesmen of I.ondoii and those of
St. Petersburg should not cultivate a mutual good under¬
standing. The Princes and Princesses of the two reigning
families are determined, for their part, to keep up an entente
coi’diak which rests on them personal esteem for the amiable
qualities of each other. We lately saw the Czarewitch and his
Czarevna much in the company of our Prince and Princess of
Wales; their sister, the charming Grand Duchess Marie
Aloxandrovna, will presently become the wife of our Prince
Alfred, and tliree happily wedded pairs, embiacing two princely
daughters of Dennmik, will then be more closely bound to¬
gether in amity by a triple tic of fraternal affection. Her
Imperial Highness, the bndo for whom a hundred millions of
people in the two countries aud their remoter provinces are
invited to pray a matrimonial blessing, is a young lady quite
woi thy of Buck a husband. She was twenty years of age in
October, and we hope she will live among us in London a groat
many yearn, and many years afterwards in the serene enjoy¬
ment. of a German sovereignty to be inherited by Prince
Alfred, of Saxe Coburg and Gotha. As for him, the
Luke of Edinburgh, Captain in the Royal Navy, we
have nothing more to say of his Royal Highness than
to repeat the former sincere expressions of our respectful
admiration for his general character and behaviour, as an able

I can scarcely believe it to be true, that you have forbidden
the celebration of masses which it was desired should he said
in your diocese for the repose of the soul of the Emperor
Napoleon Ill. I cannot believe it, because the Church lias
never refused prayers for the dead. The spirit of charity and
brotherly love form one long chain which binds ua the one to
the other—rich or poor, those in prosperity or those in ad¬
versity. tho living and the dead ! No; it is impossible that
you can have refused a prayer for him who founded Hie insti¬
tution of almoners for saying prayers after death. No ; it is
impossible, when you protest against those civil burials which
deprive a Christian of the prayers of the Church, that you cau
have refused those same prayers when asked for. Moreover,
it is impossible that you can have forgotten the oath which you
took in the presence of him who is no more. If, however, such
be really the case, 1 can only finish my letter by calling to your
memory the closing sentence in the form of oath taken by^ our
Bishops : * May God call me to account for it! ’ — Eugenme. *

NATIONAL SPORTS.

The death of Tom Olliver will be much regretted by ail c Ii 3 hu*
of sporting men, as, for some forty years past, he h i been a
very well known turf character, lie first appeared a a steeple¬
chase jockey, and, as an old friend of his remirked to uV a
few days ago, was a “ most ovdaoioua rider,” aud had many x
desperate finish with hia great rival, Jem Mason, aud Captain
Little, the best gentleman rider of that day. He performs 1
the wonderful feat of riding three Grand National wiune.s ia
succession—Gay lad in 1842 (which was the last occasion whin
the w r eight3 were 12 st. each), Vanguard in IS43, aul IV-tar
Simple in 184-1. As a trainer he greatly distinguished binned,
especially with Albert A r ictor, who w r as a very delicate hori.%
and yet was brought to the Derby and St. Leger po 3 ts in .. i *
pink of condition. Perhaps Fair water was one of Ollivv.ri
greatest favourites, and Ely about the best horse he • / i •
trained; and to his skill and care Mr. Cartwright is greitly
indebted for many of the victories he has achieved of late years.

During a run from Ad bury Lodge, uear Newbury, to L> i
Carnarvon’s covers, Mr. Hareourt Capper, master of the Crave i
hounds, had a fall, by which his right shoulder was dislocate i.
He is making satisfactory progress.

After a period of unexampled stagnation in all kinds of sport,

It cannot be said that a study of this is altogether satisfactory,
as there is this year a marked falling off in tho number of
horses engaged for every event except tho Lincolnshire Hati li-
cap, which has made a marvellous stride, and has secure l ai
much patronage as tlio City and Suburban and the Grc.it
Metropolitan combined. This is doubtless owing to the very
liberal addition of £1000 to the stake and to the recent altera¬
tion in the course, bv which a straight mile lias been obtainol,
aud the largest field of horses can be manoeuvred at th-.s
starting-pout with perfect safety. It is not surprising that the
entries for the Grand National should be below the average, con¬
sidering the present dearth of good steeplechasers. Disturbau ie,
Cinderella, Casse To to, Footman, Congress, Fnrley, Cram oi si.
Harvester, Eurotas, and Ryahworth are the pick of the trie l
steeplechasers engaged; while Molly Cobroy anl Barms ton
represent the exiles irom the flat, as Laburnum, whom it lia l been
confidently predicted would lose all hia evil habits and prove a
“ jumper” of the first water, has not even been entered. The
City and Suburban has been unfavourably affected by the
great success of the Lincolnshire Handicap. M. Lefcvro
supports it well with eight entries, including Drunmmid,
Eole II., and Negro ; and such high-class animals as Cremorno,
Kaiser, AYinslow, Morningtou, Kidbrooke, AVonloek, Spectator,
Andred, Colonel, Thunder, Lemnos, Ncwry, Soivanos, aud
Chaiidos have also been engaged. Uhlan, Lilian, Eole II.,
AVinalow, And Morning ton are the pick of tho Great Metro¬
politan horses, and tho first-named three are also nominated
for the Northamptonshire .Stakes, wliicli has shown a steady
deelinn for soma years past, and has now been again altered to
the original distance of 4;\vo miles. Mr. Savile has his inse¬
parable pair * i 4 ‘stayers” in the Bovero Newmarket Handicap,

favourite Merten t-r defeated over the Roodee course, M. Lifcvre
has not a single representative in the Chester Cup ; and, though
Sterling has h v u entered, it is well known that he has run hia
last race, and ha.> alre ady joined The Duke and Oxford nfc the
Yardiey Stud Fr.rn . Alr. Bowes, t cmemboring lautyetw'a victory,
has five horse* engaged, and Morningtop, Organist, Bertram,
Walnut, Spectator, Colonel, \ r andevdecken, Shannon, and
Eucalyptus are the pick of the remainder, while it is worth
noting that Captain Machell has entered Disturbance, the
winner oi last year’s Grand National. Almost everythmg pos¬
sessing the gift of going has put in a claim for the £101)5
offered at Lincoln, aud M. Lefcvro has taken elevoii chances,
Roquefort, Drummond, and Eve being about his best; and
when wo see the names of such “ dyers ” as Thorn, Lily Agues,
Andred, Thunder, Sugarcane, Newry, Salvanos, Yandcrdeoaeii,
oml Chandos, we feel sure that the Lincoln Handicap ought to
toko the lead of the great spring events. Tho Ascot Cup
has obtained a splendid entry ol twenty-four, exactly one-
fourth of this number bcin<* nominated by M. Lefevrs ; and
what a glorious race wo should have if Winslow, Gang Forward,
Boiaid, Montargis, Flageolet, Eeossais, Marie Stuart, Grenumc,
and Uhlan could all come to the post fit and well! \Ye
observe with tho greatest satisfaction that, in spite of the
positive statements that he had taken leave of the turf. Prince
Charlie has been engaged in several short race3 ; so wo are
likely to have a few more opportunities of witnessing the
marvellous speed of “ the Prince of the T. Y.C.”

The horses trained at Kingsclere have always been some¬
what subject to severe epidemics, aqd Polyhymnia has just

from her performances last season, appeared to have a fair
chance for the Oho Thousand and Oaks.

at first, and caught his opponent at 517; but the game then
became very exciting, as Bennett twice regained the lead, aul
was only beaten by OS points. The spot-stroke w'as very little
used ; and Roberts's best break only amounted to 115, against
87 contributed by his opponent. The winner is matched with
W. Cook for the championship, and they will play ou Tuesday.

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS

NEW BOOKS.

Only an enthusiast could have so laboriously composed—an l
only enthusiasts, it is to bo feared, will read, with proportionate
interest, and sympathy, and attention—the two really majestic
volumes entitled History of Ma/y Stuart, Queen of Scot*,
translated from the original and unpublished MS. of Professor
Petit, by Charles de Flandre, F.S.A. Scot. (Longmans, Green,
and Co.). More than ten years was the author in building up
his manuscript, and more than two years was the translator in
performing (very ably, out* would say) his by no means light
portion of the work. Nothing is easier to believe than the
author’s statement that ho neglected no opportunity which
happy chance, or diligent search, or the facilities afforded by
national libraries offered him of throwing light upon his subject,
for a simple enumeration of the authorities referred to in the pages
would till a marvellous amount of space. He even went to the
trouble and expense of having “very many unpublished ietfcera and
manuscripts copied.” It must suffice here to remark briefly that
the author’s object was to vindicate the character of a Queen
who, more, perhaps, than any other, has been tossed upon the
seesaw of opinion, and to settlo a question which, almost as
much as any other, has divided students of history, and even
ordinary readers, into two hostile hosts. The author believes
himself to have established to the satisfaction of earnest truth-
seekers and reasonable beings the theory, or rather the fact, of
Mary’s innocence in respect of all the black charges against her
os regards Rizzio, Danuey, and Queen Elizabeth, es'cn if he
have not proved her to have been the veritable angel she was
taken for by a poor Frenchwoman who saw her walking, one
Corpus Christi Day, in all her loveliness and taper in
hand, amongst the more earthly - looking members of a
religious procession. That the two volumes will convince
anybody who is not already inclined towards Mariolatrv, or
that the subject is one whicii it is profitable to handle nowa¬
days. it were rash to assert; bnt it may be confidently affirmed
that both Mary-worshippers and others have now been provided
with a book which, whether it be regarded as a memorial or
not, will make a handsome and even imposing ornament for a
drawing-room table, and will furnish them with such a mass of
elaborately collected, discussed, weighed, and annotated evi¬
dence as will afford them excellent reading for many a long day,
and enable them to decide for themselves whether it is possible
to arrive at the truth. They must be prepared, however, with
studious resolutions and powerful nutcrackers.

A fascinating title, suggestive of Mr. Harrison Ainsworth’s
tales, must not be allowed to mislead the bloodthirsty and the
horror-loving into a misconception of the work, entitled A His¬
tory of Crime in England^ by Luke Owen Pike, M.A.
(Smith, Elder, and Co.). The work, of which only the first
volume, ranging,from the Roman invasion to the accession of
Henry VII., is as vet published, threatens to leave those who
shall take it up, In hopes of being thrilled with sensation,
instructed and set thinking. No doubt every history of every
country must be, to a certain extent, a history of each country’s
crime ; but, in the present instance,^ crime has been taken for,
as it were, a point of divergence, fixed in the almost nndis-
ccmible past, and shooting forth rays which vary in appear¬
ance according to different conditions of the social, religious,
moral, and legal atmosphere. Of course, the author has been
obliged to go over a great deal of old ground ; but he has taken
up a new point of observation, and ho has, apparently, been at
infinite pains in liis search after original records which would
throw light upon a subject gloomy enough in itself, but
relieved ny the manner in winch he has trtilted it and
the comforting assurance he seeyhs to give of gradual ame¬
lioration. Nor must due commendation as lifgards other
min iroics, • or reiegfttmg ‘ail stfon matters to an append' :,
and of facilitating reference by means of a copious index,
is well worthy of general imitation ; and £lio observations
he has himself made upon the method he /has adopted will
probably command general assent. There/are certainly few
tilings more irritating to a reader than a text besprinkled with
asterisks and crosses, and numbers tacked on to the tops of
words. Perhaps the second page of the volume might have
been omitted with advantage; for it is always a mistake to
generalise from a case or two of personal appearance, aud to
associate “steel-blue eye and square jaw and set lips ” with de¬
liberate murder, “ears projecting outwards ” with theft, and
“ the massive neck, broad behind as the head itself,” with per¬
jury. Out of the heart, not the jaw, or the eyes, or the ears,
or the neck, proceed evil thoughts, murders, Ac.; and if wo
allowed ourselves to connect in our minds certain crimes with
certain physical peculiarities, we might be suspicious of the
most estimable amongst our fellow-creatures.

The effect of a friendly chat with a cheery, affable noble¬
man, who has lived a good many years and seen and heard
a great deal of life, may, without any exertion or trouble,
be obtained by a perusal of two large volumes, called My line,ol-
lectfwe front 1S06 to lS7d, by Lord VVilliam Pitt Lennox (Hurst
and Blackett), The noble author is by no means a stranger in
the paths of literature ; and many readors will not learn now
for the first time what his relations were with tho illustrious
\\ illiam Pitt, the great Duke of Wellington, the facetious Lord
Alvanley, aud other more or less distinguished men, to say
nothing of women. Nor “will tho anecdotes, in every case,
burst upon the expectant reader with the sudden liash of
novelty or the pleasant shock of surprise. Still everybody
cannot read every book and everybody cannot be familiar with
every good saying ; so that even tho repetitions, when they
occur, may be as fresh to some persons as the really new
portions are to others. Indeed the two volumes are lively to
afford, on the whole, a considerable amount of entertainment
to a considerable number of people. The author's charac¬
teristics are, chiefly, frankness, kindliness of tono, tendency
to be easily amused, fulness of memory or note-book, desire to
be accurate, and belief, probably well-founded, tlxat the world
takes pleasure in learning the most trivial occurrences in the
lives of certain men. He is candid enough to tell an
anecdote, which many autobiographers would have omitted,
referring to the origin of his family; and he enters so
far into minutke as to describe in detail some very
email incidents in his career as a lecturer. He relates, more¬
over, how he w as once mistaken for a bagman ; and how, when
he was in the household cavalry, it was his privilege to ride
close beside his Sovereign ’b carriage in order to defend, at the
risk of liis own life, tho Lord’s Anointed from an anticipated
shower of cabbages. All this may have an appearance of in¬
significance, but it is only a little part of a better whole ;
and, at any rate, it bears witness to tenacity of memory aud
a naturally confiding spirit.

The first edition of Recollections of the Empiror Napoleon
m the Island of St. Helena , by Mrs. Abell, was published in
3844, and a second in 1853 ; and it seemed good lately to
publish a third (Sampson Low and Co.), “revised aud aided
to by her daughter, Mrs. Charles Johnstone.” Mrs. Johusfcoue
confesses “to being an ardent Bonapartist ” and to believing
that “the true interests of Franco and England” would be
49 best promoted by the succession of Napoleon IV. to the 1

throne.” Hcncc this new edition. How it is to promote the
accession of Napoleon IV. is by no means as plain as a piKe-
staff; but the volume is elegaut enough and, even stm.
iuteresting enough, and it has illustrations, four m number, and
repe8enting, respectively, Mrs. Abell, the Briars, Napoleon .,
and Longwood. __

A TESTA MKNT All V DIFFICULTY.

In 1796 two English gentlemen were called upon to act ai
executors for a common friend just deceased. They found the
wrill duly executed, but were extremely puzzled, ou comparing «
the schedule of property with the testamentary disposition*,
to ixnccive there would be a deficit of a considerable sum. Tim
executors were so much the more surprised as they had ahvay*
known their friend to be peculiarly accurate as well as
strictly honourable, and they believed him quite incapable of
bequeathing a larger amount than he possessed.

They searched carefully, therefore, in every conceivable place,
but without finding any clue to the missing amount, beyond a
scrap of paper on which was written the memorandum, “£700 to
be taken out of Till. ” As this sum corresponded with the amount
by which they were out of their reckoning, they naturally con-
eluded that the testator must possess some strong-box that lie
designated by the word “till,” as he was not in business, aud
could therefore only intend it figuratively; still, after the
most diligent inquiry, no such reserve appeared. Under these
circumstances, the effects of the testator, furniture, plate, library,
&c., were sold and the proceeds distributed. It was not
until some time after, that, still ponder ing on the provoking
mystery, it occurred to one of the parties that the writer of
tho paper might have meant some book whose author’s name
was “Till,” the more probably as it was written with a
capital T, and, referring to the catalogue, lie found there in.
ventoried amoDg the folios a volume of Bishop Tillotson’a
sermons, a fact which at once threw a new' light ou the
difficulty.

Having communicated his discovery to his co-executor,
they repaired together to the bookseller who had purchased
the library, and inquired whether he had a3 yet disposed of
the volume in question.

“1 had parted with it,” replied he, “but, a3 it happen*, it
has been returned on my bands, for the purchaser to whom
I sent it in tho country objected to pay the jirice, and I shall
therefore be glad to dispose of it to you.”

The value was agreed on, and the book carried home, where,
after carefully turning it over, page by page, bank notes to the
amount of exactly £700 were found, as the scrap of paper lud
stated, “ in TUI; ” and the intentions of tho testator were
carried out.

The will, with two codicils dated respectively 8ept. 29,
Oct. 31, and Nov. 4, lS7o, of William Twopenny, formerly of
Rochester, Kent, and of Lincoln’s Inn, and the Middle Temple,
who died on the 5th ult., at No. 48, Ufjper Grosvenor-street,
was proved on the 6th inst. by Edward Twopenny, the broth cr,
and Henry Skiinc Law Hussey, the executors, the personally
being sworn under £40,000. After leaving annuities to his

WILL OF DR. ELLERRY.

Dr. Ellerby died in London in February, 1S27. He w.q a
member of the Society of Friends. He passed for being a v- 3 ry
eccentric character, and all his habits bore the stamp of origi¬
nality. In his will are to be found some singular clause;
among them the following :—

“Item : I desire that immediately after my death mv body
shall be carried to tho Auatomical Museum in Aldmigat^*
street, and shall be there dissected by Drs. Lawrence, f
Tyrrell, and Wardrop, in order that the cause of my malady
may be well understood.

“Item: 1 bequeath mv heart to Mr. YV\, anatom U t ; my
lungs to Mr. R. ; and my Wains to Mr. F., in order that they
may preserve them from decomposition ; and I declare that it
these gentlemen shall fail faithfully to execute these my L*fc
wishes in tills respect I will come—if it should ho by any means
posailile—and torment them until they shall comply.”

This threat did not much alarm the above-named parties,
for it appears that they unhesitatingly renounced their several
legacies!_

LAW AND POLICE.

TRIAL OF THE TICHBORNE CLAIMANT FOR PERJURY.

During Dr. Ivcnealy’a Bpeech, yesterday week, the Court
reminded him of tlio limit fixed for liia 8 i>ec’ch before Christmas.
1 Ie pleaded urgently for time to “go through his Carabiniere,”
hut the Lord Chief Justice answered that he hardly required to
individualise them—he might class them together. The Doctor
would not undertake of his own accord to finish next Tuesday,
hut the Court intimated to him that he would be expected to
do bo. Under this pressure, he hurried through nis South
American witnesses, dwelling only for a few minutes on
“ Captain Brown, ? and devoting as much of that brief period to
the rival Captain Oates, whose Admiralty appointment he
regards as proof of the partiality of the Cabinet for the prosecu¬
tion. He was rebuked by the Lord Chief Justice for insinuating
that Mr. Chichester Fortcscue had rewarded Captain 0at83 with
a valuable office in consideration of his evidence for the pro¬
secution. He contended that “Captain Brown,” although
guilty of falsifying a certificate, was nevertheless a truthful
witness. Just before tho adjournment the Doctor reached “his
Carabiniere,” and did not forget to rehearse the donkey story.

On Monday the analysis of the Carabinier evidence was pro¬
ceeded with. Occasionally Dr. Kenealy tried to introduce an
Australian or a family witness, but the Lord Chief Justice held
him strictly to the prescribed arrangement. In a jocular allu¬
sion to recent disclosures at Bow-street, the Doctor surmised
liow Die spoil was to be divided in the event of victory attend¬
ing his client. He assigned Guilford-street to Mr. Onslow, a
slice of the Doughty estates to Mr. Wlialley, Alderskott to
Lord “Livers, and Ticliborne Park to himself as a minnow-
catcliing refuge for his declining years.

Dr. Kenealy commented at length, on Tuesday, upon that
part of the evidence relating to the sealed packet left by llogcr
Tichbome in the bands of Mr. Gosforcl before his departure
from this country more than twenty years ago.

After having spoken twenty'-three days, Dr. Kenealy, on
Wednesday, brought his address for the defence to a close.
Before opening his peroration the Doctor made a frank con¬
fession about “that scandalous witness he had had the mis¬
fortune to call.” The theory that Luie hod been got up by tho
defence he spurned as the action of Bedlamites. Ho declared
that his client had been prosecuted with a virulence without
example, which he hoped never to see rivalled in this
country. He trusted that he should never live to see again
every rule of law and practice pressed as it had boon in every
posnble way against the defendant. The prosecution had no
sympathy or feeling for him, and they din not care, in some
im lances, whether they strained the rules of law and evidence
ng^nst him stronger than these ought to have been. No ono,
in his opinion, coiud seriously ask the jury to come to the con¬
clusion that the defendant had perjured himself when they
considered the evidence that had been given by Mr. Biddulph,
Coknel Norbury, Miss Braine, Lady Tichborne, and others,
that his client was Roger Tichborne.

On Thursday the court was very’ much crowded, several
members of the Tichborne family, who have abstained from
attending the proceedings since the commencement of the
defence until the close of Dr. Kenealy’s speech, being present.
TLt-ir Lordships having taken their seats on tho bench at kalf-
patt ten o'clock, Mr. Hawkins began to address tho jury in reply
uprn the whole cose. He said : “ I rejoice, and I dare say you
shr.» e iu my satisfaction, that at length the hour has arrived when
it becomes my duty to render j'ou such assistance as is in my'
power in the consideration of the vegdict which you will shortly'
w i equired to pronounce on the all-important issue you have to

part of the defendant, will arrive jit a true conclusion. I fed
tha^justicc demands that I should invite you to consider that part
of the evidence which is adverse to the dexendanf. When, threo-
(j u a iters or a year ago, I first addressed you in opening the ease
whMilthcn had the honour, on the part ottheCran-n, to Jay before
you, and momentous as I felt were the questions upon which
yc*u would be called upon to pronounce your judgmont, I little
contemplated that, in the course of the inquiry upon which wo
were then embarking, these questions would have been so widely'
extended as to assume the enormous gravity with which they are
now invested. I then thought we were about to investigate
the simple question involving alone the guilt or innocence of
the defendant of the charge of perjury with which ho stands
- cl arged ; but in tho course of the trial we have found tho
accused turned accuser, and on his suggestion lii 3 learned
coup Eel has attacked the character, tho honour, the truth,
anti the honesty of so many whose lives have hitherto
be (ii passed without reproach. Were it not for my own
unbounded confidence in you, X should feel appalled
wlitn I consider the magnitude of the interests which
rests npon 3 'our verdict. The defendant, through hia
counsel, in order to extricate himself from the perils
by which he is encompassed, ha 3 not hesitated to charge
the Government of this country, and the responsible advisers
of the Crown, with a scandalous and a shameless abuse
of the inti lienee and the^ power which they possess, with wan¬
tonly and wickedly lending their aid and the public purse to a

S rosecutiou which, upon his own daring assertion alone, ho has
enounced as one instituted to serve the ends of a private
family in order to rob him of his inheritance, and that they
have done it without regard to or in defereuce to the interests
of justice, for the purpose of crushing, by his condemnation,
one they know' to be innocent of the crime imputed to him.
He has not hesitated, unbltiskingly and audaciously, to charge
that tho prosecution ka3 been supported by wholesale
bribery, forgery, perjury, and conspiracy, induced by
the grossest and most corrupt agencies ; and in his
sweeping and baseless. charges he has accused' as per¬
jurors and as conspirators honourable men and women, and
venerable and reverend gentlemen, who can by law have no
other protection against these foul insnlts except such protec¬
tion as your verdict can afford them. And you were solemnly
exhorted by the defendant’s counsel, in tones which struck ono
w ith amazement, that, if you desire to-day that your conduct
should meet w r ith the approval of your fellow-countrymen, or,
hereafter, that your memories should be held in respect when
this great trial shall become u matter of history, you have no
alternative but to accord to his client a triumphant acquittal,
and in so doing to mark your abhorrence and detestation of
this prosecution, which in studied language he stigmatised as
w icked arid profligate. These charges, if proved, would be dia-
Ivolical crimes, compared to those which are charged against the
defendant would be indeed weak and trivial. I will not do you the
monstrous injustice to believe that you have given ear to tlioso
unfounded and scandalous libels and statements which the
defendant, through his counsel, has hurled against all, with but
few exceptions, whoso duty it has beeu to take part in this
inquiry; nor will I insult you by supposing that a thought has
ever crossed your mind that this prosecution, which was
directed by a much-lamented Judge, before wdiom the memo¬
rable action of ejectment was tried, has been promoted by the
Crown oilier than with one object—that of obtaining, by your
impartial, unbiassed, and unanimous verdict, whether, iu the

evidence given by the now defendant iu support of his claims
to the Tichbome title and estates, he wilfully foreswore him¬
self. The grave crime of perjury, which w r as charged to have
been committed by him, is a crime to be visited with the due
punishment which the righteous laws of this country award to
it with the view of enforcing truth in our courts of justice, and
which it lias been provided shall be preserved inviolate by tho
sanctity of an oath, without which the law would be powerless
to afford security to the lives and liberties of the subjects of
the Crown, and protection to their rights and property against
wicked, lawless, and fraudulent claims by profligate men. In
the spirit in which this prosecution has been instituted I pray
you, whatever you may think of the course which the de¬
fendant, through his counsel, has thought fit to adopt, not to
lot it prejudice your minds against him in the consideration of
your verdict; but let it be, as I know it will be, one which is
forced upon you and upon your honest convictions by the
evidence which you have had before you , aided by your own in¬
telligence. I now pronose to call your attention to the main
question for your consideration, showing you how these questions
arise ; and then I will endeavour, as briefly as I can, to point
out such portions of the evidence as I think will enable you to
arrive at a truthful and satisfactory solution of them.” The
learned counsel then proceeded to pass in review the life of
Arthur Orton.

The .fudges met on Thursday morning in the private room
of the Lord Chief Justice of England, and chose the forth¬
coming Spring Circuits as follow :—Home, the Lord Chief

Justice Grove. Norfolk, Mr. Justice Blackburn and Mr.
Justice Brett. Midland, Mr. Justice Archibald and Mr. Baron

in the place of Mr. Baron Martin.

We learn from Dublin that Mr. Pallas has been appointed
Chief Baron of the ExcJieqner for Ireland ; Mr. Low, Attorney-
General ; and Mr. Johnson, Solicitor-General.

Mr. Justice Grove on Tuesday opened the proceedings, in
the Nisi Priua Court of the Shirehall, Taunton, in respect to
the x>etition against the return of Sir Henry James, the
Attorney-General, for the borough. On the same day Mr.
Commissioner Biron opened an inquiry into the allegations of
bribery and treating which have been brought in connection
with the late municipal election at Hereford. Mr. Dowdeswell,
Q.C., presided at a similar inquiry at Nottingham.

In the case of “Nuitall v. Wildes,” in which a jury at
the Liverpool Assizes awarded £3000 as damages for breach of
promise of marriage, an application was 011 Monday made to
the Court of Exchequer, on the part of the defendant, for a
now trial. It was, however, refused, the Judges expressing
the opinion that, considering the injury inflicted upon the
plaintiff’s feelings, tho fact that defendant had increased his
income to £800 a year by his re-marriage, and that he was the
only son of a lady possessed of £5000 a year, they did not see
any sufficient reason for disturbing the verdict.

O 11 a charge of deliberately shooting at a creditor who had
called on him for payment of an account, Mr. Henry George

gate amount of £500, together with the accused person’s own
sureties for the same sum.

At Rickmans worth, on Monday, the Hon. Frederick William
Fitzroy, son of Lord Frederick Fibzroy, w as charged before tho
Rev. A. H. Barker, resident magistrate, with having, by letter,
threatened to shoot Mr. Henry Charles Finch, one of the Herts
county justices. The supposed cause of the threat is that the
prosecutor was recently the presiding chairman of a bench of
magistrates who heard a charge in which the prisoner was con¬
cerned. The prisoner, who defended himself, was remanded to
the Watford Petty Sessions.

The January session of the Central Criminal Court opened,
on Monday, with sixty-one prisoners for trial. In the case of
Mr. Patrick Wood, w ho was accused of forging a bill of ex¬
change, purporting to be signed by two clerks in the Admiralty,
the prosecution withdrew the charge, and the prisoner was re¬
leased. Two men, Charles Bruce and Thomas Williams, were
tried for the burglary at Mr. John Chadwick’s silk warehouse,
when property of more than a thousand pounds’ value was
stolen, and a large quantity besides was packed ready for
removal. Williams, against whom a previous conviction was
proved, was sentenced to ten years’ penal servitude, and his
companion to nine months’ imprisonment, w ith hard labour. On
Tuesday George Baker, aged twenty-nine, was convicted of
being concerned iu knocking down and robbing a cabman in
Mile-end. He was sentenced to seven years’ penal servitude
and five years’ police supervision, and wa3 ordered to receive
tw enty lashes with the cat. The session was brought to a close
on Wednesday. William Parker, labourer, was convicted of
the wilful murder of his two children at Wappiug, the jury ap¬
pending to their verdict a recommendation to mercy. He was
sentenced to death. James Redgrave Harris, when brought up
on a charge of shooting at William Walter, with intent to
inflict grievous bodily barm, was pronounced by the jury unfit
to plead on the ground of insanity, and he was ordered to be
detained during her Majesty’s pleasure.

Captain Maunsell, who assaidted the Duke of Cambridge,
was again brought up at Marlborough-street on Wednesday,
when evidence from the War Office w as given. The prisoner
then read a long statement of his grievances, and declared that
liis sole object, in striking the Commander-in-Chief was to get
arrested. The medical officer at the House of Detention certified
that there were no symptoms of insanity in Captain Maunsell,
who was committed for trial, bail being taken.

Giving credence to the story of a Mr. De Magnise Rutlior-
ford, that he was about to contract a marriage with a Welsh
heiress, an upholsterer in Norwood sent him in a dining-room
table, sideboard, carpet, and pair of fancy chans, some of
which property the victimised tradesman afterwards saw in a
paw nbroker’s shop. He bus been remanded.

Imprisonment for six months, w ith hard labour, has been
the sentence passed on a reckless driver named Charles Fido,
who. having charge of a horse and cart in the Brompton-road,
knocked down a person and seriously injured him.

Milk adulteration continues to occupy magisterial time and
attention; and on Saturday Mr. Daniel Phillips was fined £3
and costs for supplying milk-and-water instead of the genuine
fluid to the Lewisham Union. There were two more prose¬
cutions for the adulteration of milk at Clerkenwell, and in
each case a penalty of 20s, and costs was imposed,

James Robinson, agel thirty-five, a lotfcor-sorter in the
foreign department of tbe General Post Office, was charged

ring, set with five brilliants, twelve diamonds fixed in paste¬
board, a Canadian Bank of Commerce bill of exchange for
£50, and two I’eruvian bills of exchange, one for 1 100 francs,
and one for £148 Cs. 8d., a gold necklet, and other articlos
belonging to the Postmaster-General. The prisoner on Satur¬
day week w'as employed at the General Post Office in sorting
letters which had that day arrived from the Cape, and was
afterwards found dealing with some of the property in question.
He was committed for trial.

For begging persistently of a gentleman in Sloane-square
and We6 tboume-stree t, and also, as it would seem, for being
like a man who bad offered combs to a lady for sale, and,
on her refusing to buy an}', had addressed her in foul lan¬
guage, John Donovan was sentenced by Mr. Woolrych, 011
Monday, to twenty-one days’ hard labour.

In sentencing a fellow named Jarae3 Brown to six calendar
months’ imprisonment and hard labour for the atrocity of
skinuing half-dead cats, Mr. D’Eyncourt expressed great regret
that he could not order such a wretch to be flogged.

A burglary took place, last week, at Sir F. Peel’s residence.
The Mansion, Hampton-in-Aiclen. A handsome dressing-case
w as forced open, and the gold mountings of its fittings were
stolen. A despatch-case was also opened, as well as several
drawera of a w riting-table. The outside door of the plate -
closet was forced, but the thieves appear to have been baffled
by &11 iron door within. The thieves carried food, wine, and
brandy into the drawing-room, and there made a feast.

An attorney has been fined. 40s. and costs for unlawfully
conveying tobacco to a prisoner in the Birmingham gaol.

A serious mutiny on board the ship Preston, of Liverpool,
bound to New Orleans from Havre, compelled the captain to
put into Weymouth Bay on Monday night; and on Tuesday

five months’ imprisonment, a stowaway, who had joined in the
acts of insubordination, being fined twenty shillings, with the
alternative of going to gaol for fourteen days.

ago, was executed for the wilful murder of Amelia Selina
Phipps, on Sunday, Aug. 17 last. At the same time tho
extreme penalty of the law was earned out upon Edwin Bailey,
thirty-two, a tradesman, and Anne Barry, thirty-one, char¬
woman, for the wilful murder, by poison, of Sarah Jenkins, a
child of Bailey, also on Aug. 17. A petition signed by 8000
persons on behalf of Butt was presented at the Home Office.

CHRISTMAS AT NAZARETH HOUSE.

Inhabitants of flic western suburbs of London have sometimes
observed a rmril cart, in which are seated two ladies, dressed
in black cloaks v ud hoods bordered with blue, going round the
district and stopping at many shops or private houses, whore
the ladies get ibciv largo bags filled, iu two or three hours of
this quest, w ith a variety of scraps and fragments of food and
clothing and household stores. These are the Sisters of the
Convent of Nazareth, a religious establishment founded above
twenty years nao, now possessed of a large house, with a
chapel in its garden, in King-street East, Hammersmith, where
they take care of a laroc number of aged and infirm destitute
persons, and of sick and deserted children. An interesting de¬
scription of their systematic cliarity, written in a pleasant
tone and style, was published in the Daily Tckyraph some
time ago, and has been reprinted in a tract entitled “ Always
With f's,” which may be liad, we presume, by applying at tiie
institution, in return for a donation to its funds. * The good
Christian women engaged in this work of benevolent piety, to
which the}' devote all their time and labour, as well a3 their
private fortunes and social influence, arc W'orthy of sincere
respect and hearty good wishes. There arc more than 300
inmates of the House of Nazareth; a score of old men, none
under seventy-three years of age, and about a hundred old
women, employed in such work as they can do for their own
comfort; about fifty children, who are cripples or incurably
diseased; and a certain number of babes, like those reared
in the Foundling Hospital, the illegitimate offspring of re¬
pentant erring mothers. The whole establishment is under
strict though cheerful discipline and regulation, with the
superintendence of highly respectable clergymen. There aro
no hired menials; but the Lady Sisters, who call themselves
“The tittle Sisters of the Poor,” do all the drudgery of the
household, besides going daily round that part of town to beg
alms for its support. With this explanation, we leave our Illus¬
trations of Christmas at Nazareth House to tell tho rest of the
story, merely stating, with reference to one of the Engravings,
that the Christmas entertainments for the children included a
lierformance of “ Puss in Boots ”

There has beeu a heavy snowstorm in the north of Scotland.
In Caithness the roads in some parts aro impassable, and the
snowfall has been the heaviest for several years.

At South Shields an important meeting of local shipowners
resolved, on Tuesday, to memorialise the Privy Council with
respect to the proceedings of Board of Trade surveyors in
arbitrarily stopping ships. They ask that no surveyor should
be appointed wtio does not possess a practical knowledge of the
class of vessels over which he is to have jurisdiction.

The report of the National Rifle Association for the year 1873
states that there was an excess of receipts over expenditure,
and an addition of £3500 was made to the invested capital.
Tho profits on the working of the year amounted, however,
to only £2481. The council has purchased the freehold
“Dairy Farm” at Wimbledon, for £3500, and by the acqui¬
sition cf these premises a reduction of the expenses will in
future be accomplished. The number of members on the
books of the association is 3134, of whom G30 are life members.

The number in 1872 was 3115.-The War-Office returns for

the past year as to the strength and efficiency of the volunteers
show a large decrease in the force, especially within the last

two years.-At the general meeting of the Middlesex Rifle

Association, held at King's College, on Tuesday, a satisfactory
report was presented as to the operations of the past year. The
total number of members was 585.

WORK, WAGES, AND PRICES.

A statement, drawn up by the council of the
Trades Guild of Learning, describes at great
length the objects which are contemplated by
the organisation. It states that its purpose is
to provide education for workmen (1) in the
sciences underlying their respective industries,
and (2) in various branches of higher education;
and that it has sprung spontaneously from the
workmen of this country, and its responsible
direction will devolve in the main on them, with
the support of others who can undertake to
advise and help in their educational work. It
will accept of no aid from the State, but will
make use of the National Universities as the
best source of general education for the people
of the great towns, enabling them to acquire
not only the results of scientific^ research, but
the most thorough and scientific methods of
teaching. By means of branches, which it pro¬
poses to establish in the large towns, it hopes
to supply what is required to render tho work
already begun by tho University of Cambridge
continuous and permanent. It will endeavour
to form local boards, consisting mainly of work¬
men, who will be responsible for the preliminary
formation of dashes and the collection of the
funds neceasavv in order to obtain University
teaching. Among the members of the council
ex oliicio are Lord Granville, president; the
Lord Mayor, Professor Tyndall, Sir John
Lubbock, Lord Houghton ; and a number of
other distinguished persons, vice-presidents.

The Working-Men’s Clubs and Institutes ap¬

pear to be growing in usefulness anti rapidly
increasing in number throughout the kingdom.
Many of them are organised and aided by-a
society called the Working-Men’s Club and

Institute Union, which almost daily receives
applications from London or the provinces for
deputations to attend the inauguration of new
clubs, or for advice regarding the better de¬
velopment of those already established.

Speaking at a dinner of the Leicestershire
Agricultural Society, last Saturday, Mr. Pell,
M.P., expressed a wish that the labourers could

J 'oiu in the discussions of that body, and said
ie had observed with admiration the first pro¬
ceedings of Mr. Arch, though he now regretted
that a movement which had promised so weU
should be clogged by political feeling.

In addressing the Nottinghamshire Chamber
of Agriculture at its annum dinner, on Satur¬
day last, the Duke of St. Albans professed
a strong favour for the equalisation of the
county franchise. He could not, he said, blink
at the fact that the leaders of the Government
had avowedly approved of such a measure.
Whether or not they might think it opportune,
they could not deny that the skilled agricul¬
tural labourer was as capable of exercising the
franchise as many who possessed it in towns.

At the Trades Congress which opened on
Monday, in Sheffield, Mr. Macdonald, chair¬
man of the parliamentary committee, delivered
an address. Mr. Howell, the secretary, stated,
in his report, that the past year had been un¬
paralleled for the growth of trades unionism.
The National Federation of Employers was
adverted to, but disastrous results were not
anticipated from its intervention. On Tuesday
Mr. ltolley, president, delivered his opening
address. The parliamentary committee’s re¬
port was received, and Mr. Henry Crampton
read a vigorous critique on the programme of
the National Federation of Employers. The
Criminal Law Amendment Act was a prominent
topic of discussion on Wednesday. A resolu¬
tion, moved by Mr. Potter and seconded by
Mr. Odger, was carried, expressive of satisfac¬
tion at the progress made during the year with
the agitation against the Act, and, further,
pledging each delegate, individually, to use all
possible means, by agitations, public meetings,
Ac., to further the cause. It was also resolved
that the conspiracy laws required amendment
in the direction of the bill brought in last
Session by Sir W. Harcourt.

A National Early-Closing Congress meeting
was held in Manchester, on Tuesday, to sup¬
port Sir J. Lubbock’s Shop Hours Regulation
Bill. Delegates attended from the principal
towns of the provinces, and resolutions were
adopted to the effect that, moral suasion
having failed, every effort should be made to
secure the passing of the bill.

The carpet manufacturers of England and
Scotland have agreed to advance the wages of
their workmen 10 per cent.

A new British Workmen’s Club was opened,
last Saturday, on premises in High-street,
Wandsworth, whioh have been altered and
arranged for the purpose. The ground iloor
contains^ a commodious coffee-room, whilst the
upper floors are appropriated respectively to
reading and smoking. There is also a library
which already contains upwards of 300 volumes.
Refreshments are supplied at a low rate, and,
although intoxicating liquors aro excluded, the

club is altogether independent of any tempe¬
rance organisation. The opening of tho club

was anticipated by a public meeting, which
was held at the Spread Eagle Assembly Rooms,
in Wandsworth. The Earl of Shaftesbury spoke
warmly in favour of workmen’s clubs.

At the first ordinary meeting of the People’s
Coal and Colliery Company the directors re¬
ported that the undertaking was now success¬
fully launched, more than six thousand shares
having been taken taken up. An agreement
liad been entered into for the purchase of the
Newhill Main Silkstone Colliery. Since the
company commenced operations in September
last it had supplied its members with Ruabon
coal at ‘25s. per ton in London.

There is a split among the engineers in their
“advance of wages” movement. At Lime-
house, after considering the employers' offer to

pay the advance to all who were considered
worthy of it, a resolution in favour of going in
was carried by a large majority. Immediately
afterw ards the Southwark men assembled, and
emphatically censured the East-End men for
making a separate surrender. Both meetings
agreed in passing a strong censure on the
Amalgamated Society of Engineers for its
apathy with regwd to the movement.

The Edinburgh Town Council have unani¬
mously appointed Mr. William Skinner, who was
formerly a magistrate of the city, to the office
of Town Clerk, at a salary of £500 per annum.

The opening of the session of the twelfth
year of the Ipswich Working Men’s College was
the occasion, on Monday night, of a meeting in
the Townliall, at which the Mayor of Ipswich
presided. Mr. Hughes, M.P., as Principal of
the London Working Men’s College, gave an
address on presenting the certificates awarded
to students by the Society of Arts.

A revolt occurred a few days ago in the
lunatic Asylum of St. Andrew’s, near St. Peters¬
burg. While the keepers were at dinner the
patients burst into a room where some arms
were stored, and, having distributed them, pre¬
pared for resistance. The warders endeavoured
to calm them by argument, but ineffectually,
and some of the keepers, having approached too
near, were seized and attacked with sword-cut3.
Five were killed and two seriously wounded.
Recourse was then had to famine, but forty-eight
hours’ fast was endured before the madmen laid
down their arms. Six of the most furious have
been placed in separate cells with sfcrait-waist-
coals on.

There were 2413 births and 1015 deaths regis¬
tered in London last week, the former having
been 110 and the latter 133 below* the average
number. The deaths referred to diseases of the
respiratory organs and phthisis, which in the
three preceding weeks had been 1J12, 042, and
721, declined last week to 013, and were 7
below the average ; 303 resulted from bron¬
chitis, .159 from phthisis, 103 from pneumonia,
and 18 from asthma. The deaths from measles,
which iu the t hree preceding weeks had been
108, 107, and 108, further declined to 93 last
week, exceeding the average, however, by 51.
There w ere 32 deaths from fever, 17 of which
were certified as enteric or typhoid, 5 as typhus,
and 10 as simple continued fever. There were
19 deaths from scarlet fever, S from diphtheria,
47 frem whooping-cough, 13 from diarrhcea, and
not one from smallpox. Beven cases of suicide
and G deaths caused by street accidents were
registered. The mean temperature was40.0 deg.,
which was 4.0 deg. above the average.

The triple execution at Gloucester, on Monday last, is a topic
to which we should l>e indisposed to call attention in this
column, but for two incidents which should be noted by all
persons of common sense. One of the culprits was a young man
who, having vainly paid his addresses to a lady, became exas¬
perated at her preference of a rival, and destroyed the poor
girl Several thousand signatures were appended to a memorial
asking that the murderer's life might be spared, and among
these appear the names of several of the leading per ons in the
county. There is, of course, in the petition the usual sugges¬
tion of insanity. No doubt that a man who for such a cause
could commit such a crime had a distempered brain ; but we
can see nothing in the evidence to prove that he was not per¬
fectly aware of what he was doing, or that the murder was the
result of a brutal resolve that if he could not obtain the girls
favour no one else shonld profit by it. This is not the sort of
madness which is entitled to call for mercy. Love itself, in
excess, partakes, as we have been told for ages, of the nature
of insanity ; ami hate upon the back of this is doubtless a
terrible stimulant to wickedness. But. unless we arc pre¬
pared to lay down the rule that a disappointed Inver shall not
be held responsible for any outrage he may commit, if women
who have the power of inspiring passion are not to be protected,
we fail to see how to justify the reprieve which was asked for,
and which Mr. Lowe refused—of course, after communication
with the Judge—to grant. In the other case, which was one
of the most cold-blooded—the murder of a child whoso exist¬
ence wa3 a scandal ami an expense to its inhuman father—the
jury actually recommended the culprits to mercy. We have
M'en strange things done by juries, but the course of these
gentlemen was more extraordinary than any case of the sort
within our recollection. They talked about circumstantial
evidence. As if that is not the very best kind of evidence con¬
ceivable. when it is complete, ns it was on this occasion. v\ e
have often objected to stress being laid upon confessions, but
the ample avowals which these poisoners made of their guilt
may be a comfort to the minds of a jury that seemed afraid to
trust to their own common sense. In this case, by-the-way,
other circumstances of a peculiar kind came out. The prin¬
cipal murderer declared that he had been an atheist* and had
been led to his crime by reading evil books. The chaplain s
counsels worked upon him. ami lie not only confessed, but gave
strong evidence of conversion, and distributed religious books
among his friends. It may be permitted to say, therefore,
that the Home Secretary was the best of them.

We observe that the early-cl using movement is again
occupying the attention of the journals. But it seems to us
that a good nmny of the appeals made on the subject are mis¬
placed.° The upper classes have really nothing whatever to do
with the matter ; nor can they interfere, except ill the way of
legislation, and that is very properly deprecated. The associa¬
tion beers that no indy will shop after seven. W'liat lady shops
after that hour? How can she do soAt that hour, ora
little later, she is sitting down to dinner ; and we believe that
it is not the custom of ladies to go out after dinner and buy
shawls and gloves. What shopping is doue after six o’clock is
done by members of the.class that calls for relief, or by a still
inferior class, for whom there is a good deal to be said. If
tradespeople buy of tradespeople late, that is a question between
themselves; but the poor wife, engaged with house and chil¬
dren all day, can make her purchu*t* only when hef work is
doue and her young ontfs have r, kur|i d up” to bed. But, at
all events, the fatiguedbf overworked Ax .pjnenand shopwomen
are not to lx*, charged uj>on tbe upper itilihkto eU*».

“Limerick prodigious!” : Th.-v-ke/ay called it in one of
the very best of his Punch ballad*, is keeping up its reputation
as a “city of combat.” Atone of the hist election mectmgs

However, inspired by the recollections which we humbly ven¬
ture to recall, the patriots of l.imeriek may yet do something
that shall bo worthy of song, though, alas! we have no longer
the rates Saccr who sang of their sires.

We are all so justifiably interested in our own black war
that we have not much attention to spare for the proceedings
of our frieuds the Dutch in Sumatra. We seem, however, to
have handed them over some particularly disagreeable people
to deal with, and, although civilisation is winning the game, it
is a costly one. The last success of the Dutch was purchased
at a considerable sacrifice. We hope that when Sumatra shall
be reduced it will not occur to any Dutch Ministers and lawyers
that Holland has a grievance against us ; that wo undertook,
either expressly or Gy implication to give her “quiet enjoy¬
ment," as the conveyancers say, of the property we set over to
her. and that the war entitles her to demand direct or indirect
damages. Of course, we shall pay them if thev are demanded
as we do not desire-and we are sure that Mr. Goschen does
not desire—to see a Dutch fleet at Sheerness, as m King
Charles’s days. But it may be well to get up the argu¬
ments, if not to' tell a fashionable silversmith to prcpaic a
sketch of services of plato for some possible arbitrators.

The escape of Manuel Espatar, who was condemned to
death, the other day, for an attempt to murder Amadeus, cx-
Kini: of Spain, will remind people of the endeavour by a friond
to illustrate for his friend the difference between an accident
and a misfortune. “ If you fall into a river, that would be an
accident, you know.” “ Yes, 1 understand ; well. If you

out again, that would be a misfortune.” That anybody in
Lain should be convicted, at this time, of having sought to get
f t h e Italian,” is one of those accidents for which we are
utterly unable to account. The sentence must have amuse,
Don Manuel Espatar, if any humour■ lingers in the country of
Cervantes. His escape we take {o have been as accidental as
anything else for which his gaolers may have made due prepara¬
tion. I t is, however, none the less a misfortune.

THE IIOLBORN-CIRCUS ALBERT STATUE.

An Illustration was given in our last of the bronze equeetrian
statue of the late l’rince Consort m Holborn-mrcus.presmited
by a private gentleman to the City of London. •

v^iledf yesterday week, by the Lady Mayoress and thePmce
of Wales ; his Itoyal Highness was accompanied by the 1 uKe
of Cambridge, and, of course, by the Lord Mayor who ai ter-
wards entertained both Princes at luncheon in Guildhall.

There was little pomp or ceremony upon tins occasion. A
space had been inclosed round tbe statue ; and there was a
platform, carpeted with crimson, and roofed overhead, with
vaUances of maroon cloth and yellow fruigc. Here stood two
chairs of state, in gold aud crimson, with a few other seats.
The Duke of Cambridge arrived at a quarter before twelve ;
the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress, with the sheriffs, the
aldermen, common cotmcumen, ami City officers, came
punctually at noon. The Prince of "W ales, in a anf

pair, attended by General Sir W. Knollys, Lord Sutbeld, aud
Major Grey, was a few minutes later. A guard of honour,
formed of his own volunteer regiment, the Hon. Artillery Com¬
pany, and commanded by Captain Nunn, presented arms to
his Royal Highness. The bells of St. Andrew’s Church rang a

U C The^PHnce of Wales took bis seat on tbe left band of tbe
Lord Mayor, and the Duke of Cambridge to the right. The
Town Clerk began the proceedings by rcading a brief statement
of the manner in which the statue had been given to the ( ity,
with a description of its artistic design and that of the pedestal.
The Prince of Wales then rose and said, “ I desire that this
statue be now unveiled after which he addressed to the Lady
Mayoress, iu a lower tone of voice, his request that she would
perform the office of drawing aside the covering of red calico,
by pulling a tassclled cord at the eastern end of the pedestal.
Her Ladyship did this, with the assistance of Mr. S. E. Atkins,
chairman of the Holborn Improvement Committee, and Mr. H.
G. Haywood, brother of the City Engineer ; the curtain was
pulled away, and the bronze figure of Prince Albert on horse¬
back was exposed to view. Their Royal Highnesses, with the
Lord Mayor and Lsdy Mayoress and the rest of the company,
walked round the statue to look at it from all sides. They
immediately afterwards entered the carriages and were conveyed
to Guildhall.

The luncheon or dejeftner was laid in the great hall for
about 850 persona ; the chief table \vaa placed along one third
of the length of the hall, with the other tables at right angles
to it. The guests were received in the Library, where chairs
of state were placed for their Royal Highnesses and the Lord
Mayor. Mr. Charles Bacon, the sculptor of the statue of the
Prince Consort, was here presented to the Prince of Wales.

The Board of Trade inquiry into the loss of the River
Eden was concluded at Greenwich Police Court on Saturday.
It will be remembered that the vessel had a combustible cargo,
and that the captain, having gone wrong in liia mind, had set
fire to the ship, and afterwards drowned himself by jumping
overboard. Mr. Patteson returned William Clarkson, tbe chief
mate, his certificate, and complimented him on the discretion
and bravery he had exhibited under very trying and perilous
circumstances.-The inquiry into the circumstances attend¬

ing the loss of the Liverpool ship Circe, on the Hartwell Reef,
on Oct. 18 last, has resulted in the suspension of the master’s
certificate for Bix months. The mate, who was in charge of
the watch at the time of the disaster, had his certificate re¬
turned to him, with a rather severe lecture on the badly* kept
log-book.—-—The result of tbe inquiry into the loss of the
Zambesi, of Glasgow, off Eddystone, in November last, is the
suspension of the master’s certificate for nine months, be being
adjudged guilty of a grave default in tbe navigation of the

the British barque Charlotte, at Coustitucion, in September

MEMBERS OUT OF PARLIAMENT.

Several young Parliament-men (perhaps they would prefer to
be called young statesmen) have been exhibiting—and in some
cases not distinguishing—themselves before public audiences
lately. Dealing with them chronologically, we take the ap¬
pearance of Sir Charles Dilke before his Chelsea constituents.
The circumstances were peculiar, if not original, for he pro¬
fessed to give, as it were, a senatorial autobiography, bringing
his doings as a member forward from the time when, full of
hope and faith in the Gladstone Ministry, he seconded the
Address in the second Session of the present Parliament to
the last Session. Probably some will thiuk that the
necessity for such a chronicle argued cither crass forget-
fulne$3 or singular inattention on tho part of the Chelsea
electors to tho career of their member. Fortunately,
though the lecture, as it was called, was long, there really
w as not much to toll, and it seemed as if tho object was to
trace Iho process by which Sir Charles Dilke declined and
fell from Radicalism into Republicanism. The story is not
very interesting, and cynical persons may deduce from it a
notion that at some moment there came over the honourable
member the idea that he was not distinguishing himself as a
member, and that he could only do that by striking out some
new and outr6 subject of Parliamentary matter which might
so far astonish the political world as to give its propounder a
notoriety, even if a bad and a momentary notoriety. There is
no doubt ho succeeded ; though what he did was but a poor
imitation of the plan which in the days of infcensely-repressive
Toryism Mr. Humo invented, and which obtainod for that
financial reformer a designation (for which Canning was respon¬
sible) exprossive, but unsavoury. At any rate, tho member for
(’iielsea succeeded in getting up the greatest row and obtaining
the most ridiculous^ minority on a division which Parlia¬
ments in these latter days have ever seen. The reproduction,
tho other day, of the subject of Royal mis-spendituro (to coin
a word) was a proof of that tenacity of purpose which is cha¬
racteristic of the honourable Baronet, and that, as the best of
all possible pessimists, he will continue to do what he can to
convince the public that whatever is is wrong, ami that people
are never so happy as when they aro very miserable.

Once again Mr. Grant-Duff has addressed the world from
Elgin. If possible, he bus outdone himself and done more than
ever to show that there is living in comparative obscurity a
man who might Ihi what some German Prince has been called—
the naviour of society. It is true that, though a mere Under¬
secretary, Mr. Grant-Duff gives the House of Commons
always, and the people of Elgin now, to understand that he is
really the w'orking. moving, influencing Minister for India, and
that midor his control and guidance our empire in the East
is so flourishing that the trilling circumstance of an impending
famine in Bengal scarcely demands a passing notice ; but,
nevertheless, he is misplaced ; his ambition is not satisfied, his
sphere is contracted. \Vhat profiteth him that two hundred
and fifty millions of Asiatics are happy and prosperous under
his beneficent rule? India is, to a certain extent, an ahetruo
tinn in tho view of the nations of Europe, England included;
and it ia probable that the great potentates and the Ministerail
magnates of those nations actual’

Who shall :£iy how many of the complications, how the wars,
humumicnSf of Enj^XuiYn s

might have been averted if, on the formation of the present
Government, instead of selecting Mr. Grant-Duff as snb-
Minister for India — upon the strength of his having a
relative or a godfather, and partly ji namesake, who was
a distinguished Indian administrator the Piimo Minister
had made him at one step a full-grown, full-armed Secretary
for Foreign Affairs ? The contemplation is too wide, too vast,
too deep, too high to he lightly dealt with. In all reverence
we refrain. It is clear that Mr. Grant-Duff has but a slight
opinion of the Ministry as a body ; and it would, perhaps, be
amusing if he was to characterise them individually
according to his estimate. Those who have observed
the attitudes and the couutenahce of the Prime Minister
on the occasions when Mr. Grant-Duff was addressing
tho House have thought that the Chief was on the watch to
restrain, if possible, the fantastic phraseology and vagaries of
personality for which the Under-Secretary for India is famous :
but most likely without success. For when Mr. Grant-Duff
throws his head into the air, abuts his eyes, and pours out a
flood of optimism, lie seems to be conscious of no presence
but his own, and is as abstracted as the Pythian priestess
when under oracular inspiration. As it were, he speaks
over the heads of his audience, eveu there; and what
must it ho when he is making the good folk of Elgin a
medium for conveying hia grand, hia imperial ideas to all man¬
kind? He is a special instance of an orator who, intending to
be sublime, is only amusing ; and his latest prolusion is,
perhaps, a most remarkable specimen of his style and manner.

The reconstnlction of the Ministry in August last elevated
Lord Frederick Cavendish to the position of Assistant Chan¬
cellor of tho Exchequer—a sort of financial jackal, if the phrase
may be excused. Always airy, easy, and assured, Binee then
lie has been going about in Yorkshire, describing tho position
of the Ministry and tho political situation in the most roseate
colours. There, according to him. is no distrust of tho
Government in the Liberal party ; there are no difficulties in
the way of a triumphant .Session : the education difficulty is a
mole-bill ; the Conseiwativo reaction is a myth ; and so on.
Thus ho spoke at Tori morel en. But noon after appeared Mr.
Lcatham at Huddersfield with one of those speeches of his, in
which jests and witticisms and epigrams sparkle in every
sentence, not with harmless rays, but with a scorching, wither¬
ing effect. Ho Bees no such charming prospect for the Govern¬
ment and the Liberal party, and uuIcks the inriuenco of Mr.
Bright predominates and works a miracle he believes the educa¬
tion question will break up both; and be bad the temerity to
ridicule Air. W. E. Forster, who, having obtained in the House
a position akin to that of Aristides the Just, if Mr. Leatham
could have his way, would speedily he ostracised.

Then there lias appeared in his character <13 a political
stormy petrel, Mr. Trevelyan, who, perhaps, has ascertained
that the Govenuent do not mean to deal with the subject of
the.equalisation of the county and borough franchise. At any
rate, he deems it desirable that that question should be
talked of just now, aud he has begun his crusade at far Gala¬
shiels with a will, and a confidence all his own There may
be reasons connected with recent legal appointments which have
induced Mr. Osborne-Morgan to address nis constituents in dupli¬
cate, or triplicate perhaps, and his latest utterance is amusingly
indicative of the probable state of hia feelings towards the
Government. If the Ministry are ever wise, it is when
they act in unison with his notions, as he is always in the
right. He lectures—nay, hectors—the Government on their
duty to the Nonconformists, which would, according to him,
be the instant disestablishment of the Church, and the yielding
to all their crotchets on the education question : .and, of course,
lie cannot agree with the suggestions of Sir William Vernon-

Harcourt on the suhj cct of the land laws, not because that
gentleman is Solicitor-General; oh, no !; but because he is a
type of a race of lawyers who, for the most sordid reasons,
object to making the transfer of land too easy. What may be
suspected from this out-speaking of the learned and excitable
member for Denbighshire is that he is desirous of showing that
he is worth being subjected to the usual process of muzzling.
There may perhaps be two opinions about that.

Another lawyer, and another Welsh member, whose name
was much before the public when* Attorney-Generalships and
Solicitor-Geueralships were Hying about, lias been saying his
say to hia constituents. If half that one heard at the time bo
true, Mr. Wat kin Williams was entitled to take to himself a
grievance and let it out when opportunity occurred. But he
has chosen a more judicious course ; and has not presented
himself publicly as an irritated censor of the Government. On
tho contrary, he has, with a certain subtlety, while admitting
that the Ministry is nob as popular as it was, argued that this
was only a natural reaction following the full tide of their
success and merits. Thus he has done nothing to endanger
his relations with those who, it is to be hoped, will have an
opportunity of compensating him for what, as it is reported,
was something moi*e than an indirect slight.

MUSIC.

With this week London music has resumed some of its w'onted
activity, after the usual Christmas recess.

The Monday Popular Concerts have recommenced, and the
occasion brought back Dr. Hans von Billow, who w as welcomed
with enthusiastic applause by a very large audience. The solo
performance of the great pianist consisted of the variations by
Beethoven on the same theme (and in the same key) as that of
tho fiuale of his “Eroica” symphony. Dr. von Billow had
previously performed the same piece at one of last year’s con¬
certs of the Wagner Society, when, as again 011 Monday, his
playing elicited strong demonstrations of approval, the player
having been twice recalled after liis performance. In Beet¬
hoven’s sonata in D, for piano and violoncello (from op. 102),
with Signor Piatti, and in Mendelssohn’s second trio, with the
same associate, and Herr Straus as violinist. Dr. von Billow’s
powers, executive and intellectual, were again manifested, the
general effect having been enhanced by the excellence of the
co-operating performers. The concert commenced with
the third of Schumann’s three quartets dedicated to
Mendelssohn (op. 41), one of the finest works of that
composer’s middle period. This w r as led by Herr Straus,
the remaining members of the quartet party having been, as
usual, Mr. L. Rics, Mr. Zerbini, and Signor Piatti. The vocalist
was Mr. Santlcy, who gave fine effect to a graceful aria (“Sul
Tramonto”), by Filippo do Filippi, Schubert’s “ Dcr Alpon-
jHger” and Mendelssohn’s “Morgengrtiss” (both in English),
and Mr. Hatton’s charming song, “To Anthea,” which last was
encored. Mr. Zerbini was the accompanist. The Saturday
Popular Concerts are resumed this week with Madame Norman-
N6ruda as leading violinist, and Mr. Charles Halid as solo
pianist. Tho admirers of Madame Schumann and Herr
Joachim will bo glad to know that the former will make her
first appearance this season on Monday, Feb. 23, the latter
being announced for the previous Monday’s concert.

The sixth subscription conceit of the Royal Albert Hall
“iety ^*)*> l f i tikim . .I. -ILmaday wyck, when, the
VimS aud oiguor Giulio return made Ids fn-Rt

appearance, postponed from a previous concert on account of
illness. This gentleman (an American, wc believe) made a highly
successful ddbut, and w r as greatly applauded in his execu¬
tion of the bass solo music of Haydn’s oratorio, par¬
ticularly in the airs “Hailing in foaming billows ” and
“Now heaven in fullest glory phone," and tho important
descriptive recitative which precedes the latter. In this the
extensive lower compass of the singer’s voice w r as displayed
with marked effect. The soprano and tenor solos of the
oratorio were sung respectively by Madame Lemmens-
Sherrington and Mr. YV. H. Cummings, with their usual refine¬
ment ; Mr. Ruynham having rendered good service as second
tenor. The choruses were given with fine effect by the gigantic
choir, now under the direction of M r. Barn by, who conducted
the performance, as usual. Dr. Stainer having occupied his
customary place as organist. At tho seventh concert, on
Thursday next, Mendelssohn’s “Hymn of Praise ” (“ Lobge-
eaug”) and Rossini’s “Stabat Mater ” will be performed.

Tho second ballad concert of the year (the fifth of the
eighth season) took place at St. James’s Hall, on Saturday
afternoon, when the solo vocalists w f ere Misses Edith Wynne,
Sophie Ferrari, and Antoinette Sterling, Madame Patcy, Mr.
Vernon lligby, Mr. Henry Guy, and Mr. Pyatt. The pro¬
gramme was of the usual varied and popular description, among
the Beveral effective pieces having been two new songs, “One
morning, oh, so early,” by A. S. Catty, and “Night and
Morning,” by F. H. Cow'en—both sung by Miss Wynne, and
each, encored ; other encores having been those of Mr. Gowen’s
song “The Carrier Dove” (Madame Patey), Mr. Molloy’s
“ Pull ’e-haul’e” (Miss Sterling), Mr. Hatton’s “ If my
Mistress liido her face” (Mr. Guy), and Wallace s
martial song, “Yes, let me like a soldier fall” (Mr.
Rigby). The London Vocal Union, directed by Mr.
Frederick Walker, contributed some pleasant part-singing;
Mr. Sydney Smith played two brilliant pianoforte solos of his
owm composition ; and Mr. Hatton and llerr Meyer Lutz con¬
ducted, as usual. The third concert of the year took place on
Wednesday evening, when the programme offered attractions
of a similar kind to those of the previous performances.

This (Saturday) afternoon the Crystal Palace concerts re¬
commence, the programme including Schubert’s great symphony
in G (No. 9) and two novelties—an orchestral “serenade” by
Taubcrt, and the late Mr. Pierson’s overture to “ As You
Like It.”

Next week’s music will include some interesting perform¬
ances. On Thursday evening the British Orchestral Society
begins its second season; on Friday evening Dr. Crotch’s
oratorio, “ Palestine,” is to be revived by tho Sacred Harmonic
Society ; and on the same evening a special concert of the
Wagner Society will be given, with a programme including
choral extracts from the composer’s operas.

Mr. Carl Rosa’s provincial successes with hia English opera
company will bo supplemented by a London season, which is
to commence at Dmry-Lano Theatre on March 2—to con¬
tinue for four weeks there, aud to be transferred to the
Standard Theatre on the occupancy of the first named house
by Mr. Mapleson, for his usual season of Her Majesty’s Opera.

Mdlle. Titiens was, on Monday, presented by the people of
Dublin with a handsome rose-coloured Irish poplin dress and
a suit of Limerick point lace.

Mr. Charles William Townley, of Fulbournc, has been
appointed Lord Lieutenant of Cambridgeshire, in place of the
Earl of Hardwicke, deceased ; and the Duke of Bedford has
been selected to sueCG-d Mr. Townley as Gustos Rotolorum
of the Islo of Ely.

ILLUSTRATIONS TO PANTOMIMES.

We give three more Illustrations as indicative of the splendour of
the pantomimes produced at the present festive season. After
the full report which w*e have rendered of the various contents
of these gorgeous productions we have little left to say in
further commendation. First on our page is tho
princess's,

which has treated in a new manner an old subject, and
expended much costly scenery on its adornment. Our Illustra¬
tion presents a portion of the transformation scene, repre*
sentative of the realms of night aud morning, which is really
beautiful. We have, first of all, tho appearance of Luna rising
in her car, encircled by the Pleiades; next, the breaking of morn,
the rising of Aurora, and the ascent of Phoebus in his chariot;
dainty devices to which great praise is due. The harlequinade
also concludes with a grand picture, entitled “The Regions of
tho God of Day.”

STANDARD.

The pantomime at the Standard Theatre is, wo believe, tho
most maguificent of the season. As on a previous occasion, the
manager has placed on the boards an army in silver armour
real silver, bo it understood—which for brilliancy of effect is
not to be paralleled. This gorgeous arrangement of troops and
manoeuvres is made to grow* out of a contemplation of Guildhall,
aud the spectators see as in a vision the glories of the Past and
the Future. Among these evolutions is one entirely novel—a
night scene, “with the camp-fires dotted over the plain.” Wo
quote the bill, it being impossible to improve the suggestion.
The subject of the pantomime is, as we have previously recorded,
the truly English story of “ Whittington and his Cat.’ Our
Illustration shows him sleeping by the stone at Higligute. Ho
is roused from his prophetic slumbers by the female elf, tho
Fairy Fairweather (Miss Kate Neville); ho returns to London,
and commences the well-known series of adventures whiek con¬
duct him to fortune. The transformation scene is exceedingly
grand. It is called “A Descent from Sky to Sea,” and pre¬
sents tho setting of the su .11 as Apollo descending in tho \Yesfc,
and tho rise of the moon os Diana ascending in the East. It is,
indeed, a lino poetic vision, which, to be properly appreciated,
must bo witnessed. The harlequinade is illustrated by tho
extraordinary talents of the Paynes, who were so long asso¬
ciated with the pantomimic glories of Covent Garden.

CRYSTAL RALAGE.

Wc have already described the course and progress of tho

E antomime at tho Sydenham theatre, for such it now merits to
e denominated. It treats nearly of the same subject as that
of the Princess’s, “Puss in Boots ” and tho adventures of the .
Marquis of Carabas. Our Illustration is from a principal *
scene—that, in fact, in which the miller’s son is introduced as
the Marquis to “ Caractacus, the bbj King of liith Brittany”
(so called in the playbill). Tho Princess, his daughter, is im¬
mediately impressed with his appearance, and eagerly request*
bim to make the usual application to papa, ’these characters aro
supported by Miss Caroline Parkea and Miss Kemp, and ad¬
mirably do both enact their different rdles. Having already
set forth tho general and special merits of tho work in full,
nothing remains for us to do hut to recommend paterfamilias,
with ail his interesting responsibilities, to paj' a visit at once to
the Crystal Palace.

CLEUKENWIiLl. HOUSeLf CORRECTION.

The large prison, belonging to the county of Middlesex, in
Cohlbatk-lields, Gierke well, is designed to contain nearly two
thousand male offenders, under penal sentence for different
terms, from one week to two years. Female prisoners of the
same class, in the Middlesex county jurisdiction, arc consigned
to the prison in 1 othdbliolilB, Westminster, which has room
for eight hundred. Tho situation and outward aspect of the
Coldbathdields House of Correction, in an extensive square
inclosure, with a high wall, between GrayVinn-roiul and
Farringdou-road, must be familiar to ail who know London.
It should not be confounded with the Middlesex County House
of Detention for untritd prisoners, which is also in Cl ark ui well,
but at a short distance eastward, not far from the Middles*, :<
Sessions House. This House of Detention was the scene of
the Fenian blowing-up exploit, which cost several lives, a few
years ago. Tho House of Correction is mostly occupied by
prisoners under sentence of simple imprisonment with hard
labour for short periods ; but those condemned to penal servi¬
tude for two years are, in somo cases, placed here for a time
before their removal to the Government convict prisons of
Milbank and Pontonville. Tho City of London has its own
House of Correction at Holloway, independent of that for
Middlesex ; but this is on a much smaller scale, accommodating
not more than 370 male and female inmates. The famous ^aol
of Newgate, which we lately described with a series of illus¬
trations, is now used only for the safe detention of prisoners
awaiting their trial at the Central Criminal Court, Ola Bailey ;
and for those under sentence of death.

The Coldbath-fields prison is seldom quite full; 1750 was
the number actually there when the sketches were mad'- which
are now presented to ourreaders ; but the average is IfiOU adults
and 100 juveniles. There arc two classes, with different kinds
or degrees of hard labour. Those of the first class are kept to
the tread wheel, the motion of which i.s utilised for grind¬
ing wheat and pumping water from the well to a tank
which supplies the prison. Those of the second class
are employed in oakum-picking, and in mat, brush,
and basket making, or in shoemaking, tailoring, and
other trades, if they arc fit to learn such useful arts;
besides washing and cleaning the premises. Tho tread wheel is
a huge double machine, erected on both sides of a long gallery,
the “ wheel-yard;’' where 684 prisoner* aro assembled at a
time. Half of these—namely, :i42 men opd boys—are upon
the steps of the wheel for ten minutes, while the other half sit
down and rest ; so they take their turns, one set relieving
another, throughout the working time of the day, which is six
hours and a half. The actual exertion for each person is, there¬
fore. limited to three houis and a qu&rtt r ; and those who have
tried it say that it is not more fatiguing than to climb an ordi¬
nary ladder. The work of picking oakum is rather painful to
delicate fingers, but becomes easy after a few days. Our Illus¬
trations show this sort of work going on, and in another room
the work of tailoring. The prisoners are constantly watched,
anil arc forbidden to ^eak a w ord to each other w hen assembled
for work or dinner; even a detected glance or sigu would be
severely punished. Each person is locked up at night in a
solitary cell.

Tho award of the gold medals of the late Sir Gilbert Blaue,
Bart., has recently l>een made, in accordance with the bequest;
of tho founder, by the Presidents of the Royal Colleges of Phy¬
sicians and Surgeons aud the Director-General of the Medical
Department of the Now They have been bestowed on Staff

JtfrhEologg of the Utonfh.

1 ho site of the great conflagration in which the printing-offices
«‘f Lloyd's Weekly N tiespapir were destroyed, on the 29th ult.,
had been a notable place since Samuel Richardson, the novelist,
lived in the north-west corner of i^alishury-square : here ho
wrote his “ Pamela,” and printed his own novels ; here, in the
house at the tup of the court (No. 76, Fleet street), Richardson
was visited by Hogarth, Dr. Johnson, Dr. Young; decker,
Archbishop of Canterbury ; and Mrs. Barbttuld, when a playful
child. Goldsmith sat here as press-corrector to Richardson ;
ami in the square was printed 44 Maitland's London,” folio,

^ Richardson's house was unroofed by the recent tire.
Adjoining was (lillett’s priuting-office, twice destroyed (in
1605 and 1810) by lire ; the premises were rebuilt,-and here, in
1814, were burnt 10,000 copies of the Memoir of the notorious
Mary Anue < ’lark, the burning of which occupied three days.
North-east of Palishury-square, in 1S21, Were burnt several
old houses, opposite Bride Church, after the architectural
avenue to Fleet-street was opened, at the cost of £10,000.

Mr. W. H. Overall, librarian to the Corporation of London,
has read to the Society of Antiquaries n paper entitled “Early
^ iews and Maps of London, nml their Authors,” reviewing each
map and pointing out their merits and shortcomings. In ex¬
amining the map clone by Ralph Agas, who surveyed London^
as he himself tells us, in or about the thirtieth year of Queen
Elizabeth, Mr. Overall proved the dates when the now known
copies were published. Extracts from the parish registers of
Agas’s native village, showing the birth of bis children and
grand-children, aha his own burial, were then read. Mr.
Overall next clearly showed the deceit practised bv Mr. George
Vertue, the eminent engraver, in 1737, not only upon the
Society of Antiquaries, but upon hundreds of antiquarian
inquirers. On tlio date mentioned, Mr. Yertue brought to the
notice of the society a plan of London, which he stated had
been re-engraved from a copy of Agas’s old map of 1560, then
iu the possession of Sir Hans Sloane; but, unfortunately for liis
reputation, there are still in existence two maps bearing ilia
author's name, which, at tirst sight, appear to be Ycrtne’s,
hut Mr. Overall proved from the iutenml evidence of the
maps themselves that they were the production of some
Dutch artist in the reign of William HI., and that the
identical plttles had in soino manner found tlifcir way into
the possession of Mr. Vertue, who, after working them up
in several places with a dry jndnf, so as to assimilate
them to the genuine Agas’s, then added liis name and
issued them, as his own. The society purchased the
pewter plates, which they still possess, * Ypun the back
of one of these plates was discovered a spoilt plate, the
section being St. Paul's, Blackfriars, Bridewell, and he
pointed out the strange differences existing upon this with
the one subsequently engraved. This valuable topographical
information given to the society is attested by *Mr. 11. H.
Major, who moved a vote of thanks to Air. Overall, as did also
Mr. George Schurf. Mr. Overall drew attention to the fac¬
simile of Agas's old map, just completed from the original,
iu the library of tho Corporation, so that the members of the
Society of Antiquaries may now have nn exact similitude of
this ancient map, of which only two copies are known.

More about Charterhouse. We read in the Bwilder that
Dr. Middleton has applied,£o the Chancellor of the Diocese of
London (Dr. Tristram), at the Consist*mal tv»urt, for a faculty,
or licence, to take a portion of the churchyard of the Charter-
house, and to remove the bodies to another j^art. In order to
make the new street from Bloomsbury to Shoreditch it would
be necessary to take part of the churchyard of the Charter-
house, and a faculty was required to appropriate a consecrated
spot. The Court granted the prayer o; the applicants.

hi the restoration of St. S«-pni-hrc‘fi Church, Snow-hill,
upon taking down the octagonal turrets ami pinnacles, erected
in 1630 and 1632, they were found cased with Portland stone
atnl cramped with wrought iron. The cores of the turrets and
the pinnacles were Idled with rubble, and some of the Crockets,
ernbattlements, and gargoyles, with lions’and other heads, be¬
longing to the Perpendicular church of 1450. all being of
Keitnu stone. This discovery contirms the employment of
crockets in the pinnacles and embattled parapets on the turrets
of the present restoration, which remains will, of course, be
preserved. The committee do not recommend that the body of
tho church should be made to mutch the old tower and porch
in style of architecture. Wren, in his repairs, had little
sympathy for the Gothic materials, and so used them for filling
m tho pinnacles, whose picturesqueness was lost by their plain
stone carving ; yet they cost about £150 each.

'Hie fine old church of Bath Abbey, 44 the lantern of
the west,” has undergone important restoration, under the
direction of Sir Gilbert Scott ; embracing the reparation of the
exterior masonry aud the roof, the strengthening of the founda¬
tions of the pillars in the nave, the substitution of a magni¬
ficently-groined stone roof for a plaster one, thu reseating with
carved oak of the whole area of the church, the providing (at a
cost of £800) of a corporation pew, the removal of all tablets
from the floor and fixing them on tho walls, the removal of
galleries in the choir, the substitution of an ornate pulpit for
the old one, and a new* system of lighting and Keating.

A new reredos has l>ecu fixed in thu choir of Exeter
Cathedral; the structure deaigued by Sir Gilbert. Scott*
It is beautifully carved in Alabaster and marble, and has cost
nearly £2000. It rises 22 ft. above the floor of the choir, and
has a very magnificent appearance — the Derbyshire alabaster,
marble, and precious stones showing to great advantage, a
central cross, fiuely gemmed, and forming the apex. In the Centre
is a representation of the Ascension ; the figure of the Saviour
htnndfl 34 ft. in height, with the eleven disciples underneath ;
fifteen figures are skilfully grouped, the threo Marys beiug
introduced with tho disciples; executed by Farmer and
Brindley, ecclesiastical sculptors. St. Peter, to whom the
sacred fane is dedicated, is conspicuous. The compartment on
the right has the representation of the Transfiguration, ami on
the left compartment is the Descent of the Holy Spirit on the
Day of Pentecost. Legal proceedings have been instituted.

At Red hi II, on a farm about three miles from Bournemouth,
Air. II. N. Cox has caused to be dug up eighty-six urns, many
of them containing portions of human bones. Opinions differ
as to the urns being Roman or ancient British. «July one of the
urns having been secured in tolerable preservation. They
are found 6iu. or Sin. below’ the surface, ami about 2ft deep.

Exactly a century ago, we l ain from Mr. Octavius Morgan,
in the Gloucester Journal, that the same ideas prevailed rc-
s- peering the decoration of St. Paul’s Cathedral us are enter¬
tained a., the present day. ami mk of our most distinguished
artists wen* appointed to carry nut this great design—Mr*.
Angelica Kaufman, Sir Joshua lReynolds, .Siguor Cipriani, Air.
West, Mr. Douce, and Mr. Barry.

Gold has been discovered in Bute. The specimen has been
pronounced “auriferous quartz, with heavy gold in it.” Some
time ago, Mr. James Cameron discovered gold in the island,
and ha<l it made into a ring, which was nresented to the present
Marchioness of Bute on the occasion of her marriage.

FINE ARTS.

THE LANDSEER EXHIBITION AT THE ROYAL ACADEMY.
Hiving in our last w r eek’s article noticed the interesting collec¬
tion of studies and sketches by Sir Edwin Landseer in the first
room at Burlington House, and having also bad a foretaste ot
the whole exhibition in the very miscellaneous contents of the
second room, we propose to review the remainder of this
gathering in something near chronological order. Arranged,
or rather wanting in all arrangement, as this exhibition is—
without the slightest attention to the dates at Which the com¬
ponent items were, produced—the opportunity of tracing an
artist's career, which such aA assemblage of his works should
afford, is apt to be lost without some attempt at chronological
comparison. So little, however, are we aided, either by the
hanging or the catalogue, that to inspect several of Sir Edwin’s
earliest works the visitor must be directed to the very last
room containing liis oil-paintings.

In Room VI., theu, are two droll pictures painted in 1814,
and remarkably clever for a boy of twelve, representing a
41 French Boar” (421) aud an 44 English Boar” (443); the one a
miserably gaunt, lean, lanky-legged animal ; the other so
enveloped in fat that there is scarcely any distinguishable pro¬
trusion of head, legs, or tail. “Greyhound and Dead Hare”
(454) dates three years later, about the time that Landseer be¬
came a student of the Royal Academy. In 4 ‘ Fighting Dogs ”
(422) we come to the picture which, exhibited iu 1818
at tho Society of Painters in Water Colours, Spring-gardens,
under the title of 44 Fighting Dogs Getting Wind,” won
for tho artist his first and great public success. It was
bought from the exhibition by Sir George Beaumont, the an¬
cestor of the present possessor, and the acknowledged leader of
the counoisseurship of that 'day, whose approbation meant
fame-and fortune for any young artist. It is, indeed, wonder-"
fully vigorous, firm, and masculine, as tho work of a youth of
sixteen, and in those qualities recalls Snydeis and .Tames Ward.
You may almost see the panting of the gaping-mouthed dogs
with their fierce exertion ; and, although one dog stands astride
the other, there is plenty of light yet iu the fallen antagonist.
The 44 White Horae in Stable ” (322) belongs to the same year.
This picture lay forgotten in a hayloft till 1842, and Sir Edwin,
on then sending it home to its owner, wrote that this w T as the
first horse of that complexion I ever painted,” adding that he
had not retouched it, thinking it “better to leave my early
style unmingled with that of my old ago.” In 1819 appeared
“ The Braggart ”—England, Scotland, and Ireland (453), and
the much finer picture engraved as “The Intruder,” but here
called 44 The Cat Disturbed ” (265), a white terrier frightening
a cat from a trapped rat. The characteristic action aud ex¬
pression of the animals, and the chiaroscuro of this picture, are
worthy of high praise. The white dog was probably a famous
ratter, aud it, or a descendant, appears os 44 Brutus, M
sniffing at a d<x>r, in No. 433, painted in 1824. 44 Why

does a Donkey like Thistles?” (393), exhibited in 182*0
as 44 The Thistle, &c., from ‘^Esop’s Fables,’” is an
example of robust power verging on rudeness, that is
diametrically opposed to the feeling and style of later works.
In “Tho Boar Hunt” (381), 1821, we are again reminded of the
energy and truth of Snyders, though the trail of the dog’s legs
that has fastened on the boar’s ear is questionable. 44 Pointers :
To Ho ! ” (389), well know n by Mr. T. Landseer’s engraving is

colouring. 4 ‘The Intrusive Puppies” (204), of the same year
(1821), originally exhibited as “Impertinent Monkeys Dis¬
missed by a Monkey,” is equally vigorous and more solid. Of
two young dogs who would make free with his platter of food,
a monkey ha* hold of one by tho tail, and is about to.saixe the
other by the ear. The picture, painted in 1824, familiar to all
by the engraving, of “The Cats Paw” (281)—a monkey hold¬
ing a cat swathed in a napkin and using its only free paw to
withdraw* roasting chestnuts—is, probably, the most complete
of the early humorous pictures. “The Widow ” (314), of the
same year i.e., a duck quacking disconsolately over the dead
body of a drake—is special!}* noteworthy as one of the earliest
examples of Landseer s wonderful skill in depicting the mark¬
ings and character of feather, as well as other animal textures.

iu solidity ami strength of painting to some prectMling works.

Lands eerh ad now been (in the year before, 1826) elected an
A. li. A; ho had also visited Scotland, and henceforth a change
is observable m hri practice. The early works are remarkable
for conscientious carefulness; nature, and nature alone, was
liis prototype. As far as in him lay, the artist strove to
rentier every hair of a dog's coat, every filament of a bird's
feathers. And Landseer may be qnoted to prove that great
prucocioiuincHs in art is not delusive. Yet we now (1S27) per¬
ceive a more obvious aim at “composition,” and telling effects
of light ami shade. “Breadth” is resorted to as facilitating
rapid production, and the emptiness too apt to bo engendered
is sought to be counterbalanced by touches here ;aid there of
extremely dextrous but self-conscious manual facility. The
enervating infhienceB of courtly and fashionable patronage
begin likewise to make themselves felt. The painter’s female
figures aud dnldten belong to the “Book of Beauty” and
“ Keepsake race. His animals no longer appertain strictly
to the brute creation, but are ihe vehicles of human sentiments
ami passions, and a* such appeal to th* populace. Qualities of
magistral ire a tiiiu at, and especially of design, are, it is time,
developed which render Landseer’s work eminently well suited
for translation in black and white, but the engravings aro
Sl n “ an ; v stances preferable to tho paintings themsllves.

the artist. Butlil the dog- portraits and pictures of Uad4,
middle and late periods, imduo.ng the smooth, sleek, an.lt,
sivelv *' well-hied ” series of t.'ueeu s pets, several of whi,|, ,
have already noticed, exemplify the eoauge ot practice to who,),
we refer. Compare the “Neptune painted in

with 44 A Distinguished AI ember of the Humane Society " c\\d
and “Saved,” already noticed. Thu noble mastiff- bJo<>dh UUEl j
called “Odin” (200), dated 1833, is interesting as on rxumpfo
of thu power of painting rapidly, upon which Landseer pfafaj
himself after his painstaking early period. Tho urfcist In* h IJn .
self recorded that this line study was “painted at u
sitting, within twelve hours, with the object of showing the
superior effect of one continuous effort over mure elabumti,
work.” Doubtless, certain qualities of handling and ^i 0Ur
are only attainable by painting at once ; but a oonucioun aim*t
rapidity too often luada to superficiality. In our oDeisrvatimis
on the picture “There A no place like home,' which**
engraved last week from the Sheepshanks Collection, wealiudtjj
to Landseer’s often forced attribution of hiiinau habits, gtatarc?
and expressions to the canine world. Li i»<> picture is this m ' r ' t
obvious than in 44 Laying Down the Law ” (265). Clover as ita
animal-painting unquestionably’ is, thu picture i« a Ill0fc
travestie of human life ; dogs could hardly be trained to euai.t
the semblance of such a scene ; and as applied to the polity of
dogs the subject is absolutely meaningless. This picture rereifi
the effects of painting on a bituminous preparation; one do.*,
introduced in shadow, is seamed with a network of cracks, <l£!
closing the bitumenous brown beneath. Scarcely loss far-
fetched is the allusion to Mrs. Stowe’s novel in tho much-
landed, but to our mind questionably sentimental, 44 Uncle Tniu
and bis Wife for (Sale ” (245).

The pictures with lions show the same transitions. Tfo
44 Ljoncss Attacking a. Horse ” (246), 44 Tim Prowling Liun"
(315), and tho study of a crouching and snarling lion, ounikrH
238, have uiotc of the savage nature of tho king ot hcasts inifi
wild 'State than the iqtor representations, including tkosketriiy
studios (208 and 212} for tho lions of more majestic, quieian:
mien in Trafalgar-squarc, or the sleek, handsome, beast* iu
the two You Amburgh pictures. In one (319) of these, painfid
for the Duke of Wellington, the lion-tamer stands whip in
hand, and the animals make various signs of fear and sub¬
jection. In the other and finer picture (209), painted for this
Queen. Van Amburgh is recumbent, with a lamb at his bide, and
grips a ferocious tiger by the head. A lion sitting a part in placid
majesty already suggests tho type of the Trafalgar-square
beosts. hi both pictures tho lion-tamor is but a coarse, tru-
cuhiit, theatrical showman, and compares dicadvantageoudy
with the mighty creatures abmifc him.

Though the. first of thu Highland pictures marked, aa we
have .seen, a trau&ition in style, yet tho splendid senes which
followed contain many fine artistic elements, and will probably
form Sir Edwin s most lasting source u! fame. It must taiflice,
however, merely to enumerate some of tho principal works jm»t
hitherto noticed) of this class— works an resit ivull known bv

Highland 1_

with a « cdicatum, iu qucHtionablc taatc, to Him

a fox and an eagle making towards u dead stag. Tho Ja
the most robust and masculine work of this class is t£
named, which worthily occupies tho place of h om
great 100 m. A hun Uxf stag, with two bounds, hnj
over a preoipi^j njtd Lilian together into a deep, 1
gillie hn* fJceu lowered to tlicin by a cord, and, /inli
nf life in one of the dogs, ho shouts to some ono
words taken for title. “ The Random .Shot” has a 1
tiful effect of low r Runbgbt on snow ; but the subjee
painful that, like some otlier of I^ndseer’s works, it
argues a lack of true sympathy with the auimid world. A d
that has been inadvertently shot, lies dead, with a fawn enioirg
for customary sustenance in the blood-stailkod snow at its suit.

Among miscellaneous subjects, the 4 4 Bultou Abbey in thu
Olden Time ” (214) of 1834, and “ The Return iram Huwkifig"
(2(/7) of 1837» are universally known by thu admirable w
gravings ; but the pictures themselves are comparatively rlight
and artificial in treatment. “ Relreshmefit ” (215), of I8i6.

called “The Last Run of the Season.” (2CS)^bufc engraved

in which ncjirly tlic whole composition appears, though U'

pictures should be definitely ascertained. Among
pictures with horses the most noteworthy are “The Ou'o*'

(239), belonging to tin* Prince of Wales ; and 44 YolU^

SCIENTIFIC RESULTS OF THE MONTH

The employment of compound steam-engines of the marine
type for driving factories and mills, in substitution of the ordi¬
nary forma of land-engine hitherto employed for that purpose,
appears to be making the steady progress we expected. Messis.
Schneider, the celebrated engineers ot Creusot, m France, liav<
recently produced a compound eugine of the mariue patter:
for factory purposes, aud Messrs. Penu and Sons, tho engineers,
of Greenwich, are about to replace the engines which now drive
their factory by a compound engine of their ordinary marine
construction, except that it will he without the link motion, as
it does not require to be reversed. Messrs. Schneider have, on
former occasions, distinguished themselves by their early appre¬
ciation and employment of important English inventions—as
for example in their introduction of the steam-hammer, which
they found in progress at Mr. ^Nasmyth’s works, near Man¬
chester ; and such was their alacrity of movement that they
had their hammer going before Mr. Nasmyth was able to start
his. Messrs. Penn and Sons, about two years ago, constructed
a compound engine of the marine type for land purposes to the
order of Messrs. Bourne and Co., of London, for service in
Italy, and the engine which they are now making for driving
their works is a duplicate of that which they then produced.
It may bo added that the engines which Messrs. Penn aro
taking out to make room for the new compound are a pair of
grasshopper engines, of very perfect construction, resembling in
every respect the engines which they constructed a few years
ago for driving the newspaper machinery of the Times printing
office. Up to the present time these engines have been regarded
as the most perfect of their kind. But compound engines,
with inverted cylinders working into a reservoir, and
with the cranks at right angles, are now judged to
bo so greatly preferable that the former engines have
been displaced, tnough still iu good repair, to make room for
the new type, which, like Aaron s serpent, appears destined to
swallow up all the rest. The question of the best form of
factory engine is one of the greatest importance to theBe king¬
doms. Up to the present time no very confident judgment could
be pronounced upon the subject, as it had not yet emerged from
the experimental stage; but now the course is clear, and it
only remains to promulgate as widely as possible the con¬
clusions which have been arrived at.

Diamond drills for perforating hard stones have for some
years been in satisfactory operation, as also diamond cutters for
toothing millstones. We now hear of a diamond saw for cut¬
ting stone, which is formed like a common saw ; but the teeth
are made of diamond points set in cutter blocks, the points
constituting the teeth of the saw, while the blade acts merely
as a guide. The diamond saw, it is said, will cut as much
stone in half an hour as any other kind of saw will cut in a day.

The antiseptic treatment of wounds is a method which is
being regarded with increasing favour. The use of powdered
charcoal as a dressing has long been known ; and latterly the
employment of carbolic acid has been found to bo productive of
the most beneficial results. Now M. Magnia-Lohens, of
Toulouse, uses charcoal mixed with 33 per cent of coal-tar.
In some cases galvanism baa been employed iu conjunction with
antiseptic dressings with great advantage.

We have on former occasions noticed Sir Joseph Whitworth’s
method of producing articles in wrought iron or steel by melt¬
ing the metal by a neutral flame and running it into moulds,
where it is subjected to a very high pressure in cooling, whereby
porosity is prevented. The system until quite lattdy, however,
can scarcely be said to have come into operation on a com¬
mercial scale, although pieces of the metal, of exceptional
soundness and toughness, have been privately exhibited.
Lately, however, at Woolwich a good deal of trouble was ex¬
perienced in obtaining sound air-vessels for Whitehead’s
torpedo, and it was found necessary to forge them of solid
masses of steel and then to bore them. This was a tedious
and costly process, and Sir J. Whitworth at length consented
to endeavour to produce them of his metal, w hich he has done
with great success, and the articles so produced are found to be
sounder than those produced by forging in the solid and then
boring out. The air-vessels in. question are about 18 in. in
diameter at the one end, tapering to a point at the other end,
and are about 10 ft. long and 1 in. thick.

The last part of the Quarterly Journal of Science contains an
article by Mr. Crookes, entitled “Notes ot an Enquiry into tlie
Phenomena called Spiritual during the Years 1870-7.V’ In this
article Mr. Crookes repeats his former statements on this sub¬
ject, with the addition of many other experimental results,
which appear to him confirmatory of the soundness of his pre¬
vious communications. Mr. Crookes says that ho has found
heavy bodies to be moved, sounds to be produced, sofas aud
chairs with persons upon them to be raised many inches from
the floor, and phantom forms to appear, all under circumstam es
which precluded the possibility oi trick or delusion. Jhe re¬
sults of his investigations Mr. Crookes will embody in a w ork he
is about to publish, and it appears to us that everything which
tho most advanced spiritualist asserts Mr. Crookes will corrobo¬
rate, except that lie denies that the phenomena are produced
by the agency of spirits at all, and he believes that they are
the result of certain occult powers in the mediums not yet
understood. Hooke, nearly 200 years ago, showed that gravity
was merely tho result of a certain species of motion in the
particles of matter, -which we may suppose that heat or elec¬
tricity will, under certain circumstances, disturb, as when
electrical repulsion is excited, or when, by the application of
heat, bodies assume the spheroidal form. A drop of w’ater on
a hot plate will roll about without touching the surface, and by
looking between the drop and the plate it will be seen that the
drop is suspended. Other agents besides heat or electricity
may produce an analogous effect with more energy, and the
phenomena termed spiritual certainly deserve, in commou with
all other phenomena, careful and impartial investigation.

Mr. Pearson, the superintendent of the East Indian Bail-
way, has introduced a method of cooling and ventilating tho
carriages of a train by placing a centrifugal fan in one of the
carriages. The fan is driven by one of the wheels of the train,
and the air is conducted in canvas pipes to any point.

The French Government are reported to be meditating the
construction of a new' harbour at Androcellea, between Calais
and Boulogne. The coast at that point is denuded of sand.
But it is doubtful whether the sand would not accumulate iii
any inclosed space of still water such as a harbour must be.
The Standard of Dec. 25 contains a long article setting
forth the advantages of a deep sea port at Dieppe, both as con¬
stituting a new' port for Paris at the nearest point of the coast,
with which, too, Paris is now' connected by two railways,
and as affording the means of improving tho Channel com¬
munication between Newhaven and Dieppe, which is the
shortest route between Paris and London. By a comparison
of distances it is shown that the Dieppe route is shorter by
more than fifty miles than the Calais route, and with Channel
steamers like those at Holyhead the Dieppe route w-ould be the
shortest iu time as w ell as in distance, even if Paris be the
terminus, while for Lyons, Marseilles, Italy, and many other
important points it will be shorter still.

We take our place in that numerous crowd of well-
wishers who (in a figure at least) throw the old slipper
after the carriage which bears the Royal bridegroom and
the Imperial bride; to Tsarskoe-Selo, there to spend the
first few days of tfieir honeymoon. We send after them
our aspirations for their nuptial bliss. Our desire for
them is— a desire which spontaneously rises up from the
deep places of the heart — that the path of life upou
which our sailor Prince and the sole daughter of the
Emperor of Russia have started hand iu hand may be
pleasant to the end ; rich with the fruits of a united and
sympathising discharge of the duties of their station*
always tending upward to higher and nobler enjoyment;
teeming with delight to themselves and with blessing
for others.

The marriage of the Duke of Edinburgh with the
Grand Duchess Marie Alexandrowna, diffuses equal
satisfaction among the people of the United Kingdom
and the people of Russia. That event, interesting
for its own sake, is doubly interesting because it
constitutes a centre in which two great nations meet
each trthe r with feelings entirely in unison. Politically
speaking, the ultimate objects of England and those of
Russia have, for a long time past, appeared to be those
of keen rivalry. The difference between them in
national temperament— and, to some extent, in national
interests — although it has generally been com¬
patible with political amity, has placed the two
peoples at a considerable distance from each other.
The thoughts of England have seldom been m
harmony w ith the thoughts of Russia. There has been
mutual respect, amounting on occasions to mutual ad¬
miration. There has been no insurmountable bar to
their international intercourse. They have measui
strength one with another to little other purpose, perbi
than that of ascertaining that the nature and de^crip

a rather wido .surface uf tiie affairs of life over which
Russia and England have felt themselves to be at one.
There have jfilso been groat purposes respecting which
the two aM&orf# hnw believed themselves to be anta¬
gonistic’ Hence they Jiave kept up towards e.icb#
other the outward profession of friendliness, .tfud
hare honestly striven to act towards one another
in accordance with that profession. But hitherto it
can hardly be contended that cordiality of feeling has
characterised their general relations. \ ery possibly—we
may even say probably—the distance wdiick has sepa¬
rated the one people from the other may be ascribed .to
their want of intimate acquaintance one with another.

It is, we may say, a new thing for both to mingle their
affections in something that has an equal interest for both.
We would not Lay too heavy a stress upon it. The eifect
following it may be evanescent. But it i3 impossible to
divine what may be the desirable consequences which
may flow from it, and which may hereafter justify the
feelings of enthusiasm with which it has been greeted.

Over and above the interest which we all take in the:
nuptial union of any loving pair, there has been, we 1
lieve, in both England and Russia, the most affcctiona
sympathy with the occupant-s respectively of the throni
We can only speak with confident knowledge of our owl ^
gracious Sovereign. That she enjoys the loyal trust and |
ardent affection of her subjects it is almost superfluous
to affirm. That which is known to gratify her i3 sure to
gratify her people. They take delight in sharing her .
feelings. They identify themselves with her as a mother
r.nd a widow, as well as in her queenly relationship to
them. They are proud of her character and bearing a*
an English matron. They rejoice in the pure light sk
has thrown over family life. They enter intoiier joy*
and sorrows as a woman, and feel under de^> oblige
tions to her for the purity of her example. It is ,ll>
matter of surprise, therefore, that they interest them¬
selves in the domestic settlement of her sons um
daughters, almost as much as if it directly concerned W
w ellbeing of their own. From myriads of hearts earn^
prayers have gone up, and will go up, to the Supn' 111 ^
l< r His blessing upon the marriage just celebrated. <
similar statement, no doubt, will hold good with
to the Russian people. They, too, hold in aileron
well as in reverence the Imperial family. It ifP? rt
their tradition : it belongs to their religiou; and it ffh
certainly and expressively utter its emotMp^
liection with the solemnisation of those tici which
just been contracted.

A The Royal and Imperial marriage will not,

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS

MN. 54, 1874

71

imagine, give rise to much political speculation ; least of |
all ?mong the well-informed. It will divert neither
England nor Russia from the 'prosecution of their re¬
spective “ missions.” Such influence as it may have
upon the public affairs of either nation can be indirect
only. In no respects, perhaps, will the consequences
resulting from it resemble those which may be expected
from an international treaty. We shall still have and
pursue our exclusive interests in India, and Russia will
still have and pursue its special objects in Central Asia.
There will continue to be, as lias been for a long time
past, a rivalry of influence in the east of Europe. The
Black Sen, the Mediterranean, Turkey, and Egypt
will doubtless present, as before, claims upon each
which are considered by statesmen as conflicting,
and will turn up incidents over which they will
diifer in opinion. Tho grand ceremony which
has just been celebrated at St. Petersburg will do little
or nothing to turn the drift of matters of this nature.
Nevertheless, it will not be without some kind of reflex
influence for good. Great destinies are almost always
materially affected by popular temper. A sincere repug¬
nance to go to war one with another is found by expe-
i ience to be a powerful element in the maintenance of
peace. We Lave seen the fact vividly illustrated in the
recent conduct of our relations with the United States of
America. Perhaps we may see it with Russia on some
future occasion. At any rate, as far as this marriage
shall exert any political influence at all, it will almost
certainly be on the side of preserving unimpaired inter¬
national amity. We may very reasonably, therefore,
rejoice in it as fraught with good aud not with evil to
both countries.

The .alliance is full of promise—we speak, of course,
not of knowledge, but by common report. The young
couple are said to be fairly adapted to one another,
and the union, which has been one of ceremony, is gene¬
rally understood to be one also of true affection. V> c
have already uttered our heartiest good wishes. We
close with the expression of our sanguine hope that our
beloved Queen, the newly-married pair, their Royal and
Imperial kinsfolk, and the two nations at whose head
they are placed, may find in the union of the Duke of
Edinburgh with the Grand Duchess Mane a solid aud
lasting cause for mutual congratulation.

THE TICHBORNE TRIAL.

The trial for perjury of the person who has claimed the name,
title, and estates of Sir Roger Charles Doughty Tichborne is at
length drawing near its end ; yesterday was the 165th day, aud
Mr. Hawkins, Q.C. was still at his reply, on behalf of the
prosecution, having begun on Thursday week. He fir3t re¬
viewed the known events of the true Roger Tichborne’s early
life, and the circumstances of liis departure from England
and subsequent disappearance. He next commented ou the
situation aud behaviour of the defendant, living undor
the name of Thomas Castro at Wagga Wagga, in Australia,
at the time, in July, 1SG5, when Lady Tichborne advertised
for tho lost Roger Tichborne. The communications he
then had' with Mr. Gibbes, the attorney, his fraudulent
will pretending to deal with the Tichborne property,
and all the tteps v'hich were afterwards taken to set
lip this chum, wore narrowly examined by Mr. Hawkins,
who exposed the numerous blunders, omissions, and marks of
ignorance in the defendants say bigs, writings, and doings, to
prove that he eould not ready i’ • r.he Hampshire Baronet's son
and heir. The learned ’counsel pointed out that there w-ere
four portions —GuiRoyR, the gardener, Bogle, the valet, and
Bogie’s two sons, Andrew and —from whom the defendant

might probably have learnt sueu^articulara of the Tichborne
family and of Roger TichboiWalirl as he was enabled at length
to relate. Some details of genealogy and heraldry might have
been got from the IUvmIwl ■/ London A Tern. Mr. Hawkins
proceeded to argue from a long chain of proofs that the
defendant was Arthur Orton, the butcher’s soil, of Wapping.
The evidence of the Wapping w itnesses called by the defendant
was severely criticised, and much stress was laid ou the non-
appearance of Orton’s sisters, who ought to have declared that
the defendant w as not their brother. The defendant w.u called
upon, if he were not himself Arthur Orton, to show what had
become of that person, whom he said he knew, aud to prove
where he was now living, or else that he w f as dead. Mr.
Hawkins censured the conduct of several of the defendant's
partisans, male and female, and finally demanded his conviction
for the crime of w hich he is accused.

The rabble of some hundreds of idle people, daily congre¬
gated in Polacc-yard and Westminster Hall, to watch the
arrival and departure of the persons engaged in this trial, have
been rather troublesome during Mr. Hawkins’s speech. On
the afternoons of Thursday and Friday last week they pursued
that gentleman across St. Margaret’s churchyard, yelling, hoot¬
ing, and hissing, with threats of actual violence. Four young
men—of whom one was a lithographic printer, and one was a
haw ker of photographs, making their trade of likenesses of the
defendant and the counsel in this case —have been taken into
custody for this breach of the peace. They were brought up
again at the Westminster Police Court on Thursday, when they
w ere ordered to find sureties for their keeping the peace for
three months.

The convict Jean Luie, alias Limdgren, alias Smith, one of
the witnesses called by Air. Kenealy for the defendant, with
reference to Roger Tichborne’s alleged voyage to Australia in.
the Osprey, after the wreck of the Bella from South America,
is charged with perjury and bigamy. On Thursday, at the
Bow-street Police Court, he was again brought up, but was
remanded to this day (Saturday).

A letter signed by Mr. G. H. Wiialley, M.P. for Peter¬
borough, who has taken an active part in supporting the de¬
fendant’s claim to the Tichborne inheritance, has appeared this
week in the Daily Neics, by which the hon. gentleman and the
publisher of that journal seem to have rendered themselves
guilty of *a contempt of court. The Lord Chief Justice took
notice of this at the sitting of the Court on "Wednesday, and
gave order, with the assent of Mr. Justice Mellor and Mr.
Justice Lush, that Mr. Whalley should attend ou Friday to
answer for what he had done.

The Engraving on our front page represents Mr. Hawkins,
Q.C., in the attitude of speaking, as he has appeared in court
during the progress of the Tichborue perjury case.

The Pacific Railway office in Ottawa has been burnt, the
loss being estimated at 1,000,000 dols.

Arrangements have been made for holding the annual show
of the Highland and Agricultural Society at Inverness in July,
at which prizes to the amount of £2020 will be awarded. The
society’s show for 1875 will be held at Glasgow.

Mr. T. Brasscy, M.P., addressed a meeting at Liverpool, on
\Y ednesday, upon the importance of increasing the volunteer
naval artillery. It was decided to raise a fund to equip 300
volunteers for artillery naval service. Mr. Rathbone M.P.
was also a speaker at the meeting.

THE YARKUND MISSION.

We have repeatedly noticed the journey of Mr. Douglas
Forsyth and his party from India across the Himalayas and
Karakorum mountains, beyond the highland valley of Ladak,
to Yarkund and Kashgar, on a political mission to the Atalik
Ghazeh, the ruler of those countries of Upper Turkestan. At
the last meeting of the Royal Geographical Society, on Monday
week, two letters were read from the gentlemen of this expe¬
dition, and a large map was exhibited, showing the topography
of the mountain region which they traversed in October, in¬
cluding some of the loftiest passes and largest glaciers upon
earth. We are indebted to Captain E. F. Chapman, several of
whose sketches have appeared in our Journal, for three more
Illustrations engraved for this week’s publication. One is a
view of the fort of Shahid-nlla-Khoja, or Shadulla, on the
Kanaka*li river, in latitude 36 deg. 20 min. N., longitude
78 deg, E., at an elevation of 12,COO ft. above the soa level.
The British Envoy and his party reached tills place on
Oct. 17, and remained there until the 23rd, awaiting the arrival
of Syad Yakoob Khan, the late Envoy of the Atalik Ghazeh to
Constantinople, then on his journey homeward to Yarkund.

SLahid-ulla-Khoja is the frontier outpost of Upper or
Eastuu Turkestan on its southern side. It w*as originally
built by the Maharajah of Cashmere, at the suggestion of the
British Government, for the protection of traders when the
Chinese ruled in Yarkund and Kashgar ; but it came into pos¬
session of the Atalik Ghazeh when he became master of these
countries in 1SG6. The place is named from a martyr of the
Moslem faith, who was slain here fighting against the heathen
Chinese. A small ziarat, or shrine, dedicated to the saintly
memory of this Shahid-ulla, is found upon the rock which
appears to the left hand in our Engraving. The readers of Mr.
Shaw’s “High Tartary and Yarkund” may recollect that he
was detained three weeks in this place before he could get
leave to proceed; and Mr. Hayward arrived here before Mr.
Shaw’s departure, but they were unable to meet for fear of ex¬
citing the jealousv and suspicion of the Yarkundees, who at
that time regarded all Europeans with extreme distrust.

In the foreground of Captain Chapman’s view of Shahid-ulla-
Khojn we observe the “akoe,” or Kirghiz tent, which was
pitched for the accommodation of the English travellers by the
chief of a wandering tribe in the neighbourhood. It was used
by the Englishmen as a smoking-divan, since they had their
own tents for ordinary habitation. “ A peep into our akoe,”
with the attendants spreading the “ dastarkh wan ’’ for a comfort¬
able repast, is the subject of one Illustration; but this sceno
belongs to a later stage, after they had entered the Yarkund
territory, when Mirza Yakoob Beg Umsfth, as the Dadkwall's
representative, entertained our countrymen with liberal hospi¬
tality. At Shahid-ulhvKhoja, the temperature being some¬
times rts low as 4 deg. Falir., with a piercing cold wind,
the shelter of the Khirgiz akoe was highly appreciated. The
tents and heavy baggage were sent forward on Oct. 21, and it
was on the 24th that Mr. Forsyth and the Yarkund Envoy,
returning from Constantinople, proceeded oil their journey
together. The following description of their road will explain
Captain Chapman’s sketch of the train of baggage mule3 on the
Grim Pass :—

“Our route lay for some miles down the valley of the
Karakash, here flowing between lofty mountains of gneiss
streake d with veins of quartzite, large blocks of which mineral
were strewn upon Hie track wo pursued. Oar li-sfc march took
us past 4 Kurgan,’ a small stone inclosure the base of a
gigantic rock, dignified in Toorkce as a * f*»rt. ’ The cold in the
valley of the Karakash, even at this sea&md is intense, and, as
the river wan running in a Wili-frozen state o > i its bouldor
bed, fording was no pleasant task ; yet all wore in high spirits
at the thought of dangers overcome, and the misery of a ducking
was made light of by those who were not fchomnelves sufferers.
On the 25th we found the river bending eastward away from
our road, and, turning np a narrow ravine, wo made our way
along its course towards the Sanjoo or ‘grim’ pass, the lasfc
obstacle on the road to Yarkund. Here wo were onec again in
the region of schists and shales, being shut in by precipices that
terminated in knife-like ridge3 far al>ove our heads, allowing
but cue short hour of mid-day sunshine, ami justifying in
their wildness the term * grim ’ applied to this region by I
know not what sententious geographer. A scanty ration
and a short supply of fuel, due to some untoward accident,
have, perhaps, impressed upon my mind the discomforts of a
halt in the depths of this gully, when hungry baggage animals
in search of scanty herbage disturbed repose, and falliug rooks
suggested subjects for one’s dreams.

“The passage of goods and baggage across the pass is from
this point conducted by the Kirghiz tribes resident in the neigh¬
bourhood, the yak (kutas) being the only animal that can carry
loads with safety up the steep ascent leading to it. To control
these wild people is beyond the power oven of a ruler as
despotic as the Atalik Ghazeh ; and, in spite of the best inten¬
tions on the part of our hosts, we found considerable difficulty
iu making a move the following morning. Imagine us, how¬
ever, en route on the 2Gth, the Envoy and ourselves all
mounted on'yaks, and still threading the windings of the inhos¬
pitable gully described. At about three miles from the pass
itself, which is 16,600 ft. high, a side passage through a narrow
choke of rock and ice led to a more extended view, from which
the whole ascent could be seen, leading by a long zigzag over
snow to a small opening in a lofty ridge .1000 ft. above
us. Our unladen mules, one hundred, in number, and the
officers of our small cavalry detachment had made an early
start of it, and as we passed this narrow defile were
toiling up the zigzag. Suddenly the wliole string of animals,
as they neared the top, received a check, and we, who had not
yet reached the snow* and ice, could assign no cause for so in¬
opportune a halt. It took us two hours to gain the point wliero
our line of march had been jammed, ami then we discovered
an opposing stream of struggling animals, which had met the
head of our column in the very gorge. A ‘kafila’ from Yar¬
kand was pushing up the reverse of the ladder, and only
by a very slow and painful process could tho consequent en¬
tanglement be remedied. The passage of our advanced party
three days previous, and of other caravans, had caused dif¬
ficulties wc m no wise anticipated. The whole line of route,
wliich to them had been comparatively easy, owing to freah-
falkn mow, was now an ice-path, ending, as it w r ere, in a
frozen stair of about 40 ft or 50 ft. at the summit; and tho
opposite descent, for some 2500 ft., consisted of a series of slides,
frem each of which it needed but an overbalance to tumble each
suffering qua droned down a frozen slip to the valley below. In real
•difficulty the Kirghiz proved admirable workers; a small
number of them formed a lino along the stMr of ice -which each
horse or mule must needs ascend, felts were spread over the
most slippery part, and, one by one, after our arrival, the dis¬
tressed animals were pulled or pushed, till, struggling, they
attempted the passage. Animal suffering is at all times paiu-
ful to witness, and during the hours spent in superintending
the crossing of our 110 beasts the trials of each particular ono
f.cenitd to become separately impressed upon our minds,
whether it was tho dun horse that threo times reached tho
turning-point and then, lacking heart, fell headlong back, was

once again brought up, and was finally literally dragged over ,
or whether it was the gallant bay mare that picked her way so
cleanly and bravely, rivalling a goat in her cleverness, till, with
many a cheering word, unaided, she cleared the wors
stood at the top in safety ! Strange to say, we passed our ten
horses over, but, of one hundred mules, live were killed on the
spot and three died from after-effects. One unfortunate mule fell
from below our feet headlong to ono of the lower windings o
the zigzag, and, with neck still unbroken, struggle* up 10
steep ascent, only to fall once more and leave his carcass below

But I have said enough to show what difficulties the
Sanjoo Tass, usually considered easy of passage, may at certain
sessons present. As may be imagined, the descent was scarcely
le*s difficult than the ascent, and it was long before our baggage
yAks, which formed the rear of the column, could get past. W e
halted on the 27th to pick up tho pieces some seven mUc3 on
this side, congratulating ourselves that our last mountain pass,
with all its toil and loss, was overcome. We reached banjoo
yesterday (Oct. 30), and are well pleased to find ourselves in a
land of comparative plenty. To do us honour we have had, in
addition to the Envoy—whose position in the country may
be looked upon as being next almost to that of the Atalik—the
Bakini of Gooraa and the Beg of Sanjoo in our train. Our daily
wants are supplied with a liberal hand ; in fact, according to
Y'arkund custom, our welcome is of the warmest."

FRANCE.

( From our Corresjnndent in Paris.)

Thursday, Jan. o*

The French Minister for Foreijm.Affair*. Dae Drew*, i
thought tit to enlighten Europe with regard to the ,

tentions of Marshal Mae Mahon s G overnment. It w ditfij
to conceive how France could possibly have assumed a wart*,
attitude at the present juncture ; but still, the past week in,

THE FAMINE IN BENGAL.

Telegrams of this week from Calcutta announce that the
Government of India and the provincial Government of Bengal
have resolved now to commence operations for systematic relief.
The officials have been authorised to organise committees, and
the Government is to double all private subscriptions. Sir
George Campbell has recommended Mr. Schalcli, of the Revenue
Board, as president-general of tho Calcutta committee, to visit
the distressed districts. A remission of half a year’s land tax
is promised to the zemindars who exert themselves to relieve
the famine. Tho Government rice is blocking the private trade
on the railway, and Sir George Campbell lias ordered the officials
to use their discretion. The w ater route failing, a system of
cart-trains has been organised. Colonel Mackenzie, the com¬
missariat, and six military officers are helping the relief
operations. Lord Northbrook will not go to Simla, a3
usual, during the hot season. With regard to particular
districts, we learn that iu Beliar distress is imminent,
and in portions of Chuniparun, half Sarun, North Tirhoot,
and the adjoining portions of Bhaguipore, Mongliyr, East
Gya, East Ptirnca, North Moidak and half Dingapore.
Labourers and emigrant coolies crowd the works in the North
BaGia division. They are paid task rates till the distress
becomes more severe. Numerous advances are being made to
planters for wells and improvements. In Burdwan, Chofca,
Nngpore, and Beliar prices are higher than in 18G6. '^dJ
The prevention of such great disasters as this, wluch
threatens to inflict extreme misery on 24,000,000 people, can
only be secured by great public works of irrigation, and im¬
proved means of conveyance from one district to auothor.
With regard to the benefits of irrigation in India a striking in¬
stance was lately seen in the visit of the Viceroy to the Soane
Works at Dehrce. He there found 100,000 acres irrigated
in a few' weeks by the new works in their present unfinished
state, net a quarter of the project being yet completed,
and no doubt much more will yet be watered in time
to help in this famine. The estimated . value of the
crop thus raised is £4Sa(MK), \00,0nn acres UtT uth. ~im
acre ; the works having as yet cost about £500,000, including
the great weir, two miles and a half lorn*, in one unbroken
line of masonry, with the head sluices and locks. All this has
been almost completely paid for by one dry weather crop on
one one-twenty-liHh part of tho whole area to be irrigated from
these head works. Considering it ns a mere matter of money, /
without reference to the saving of life, the works cost in all
£4,600,000, and water 2,500,000 acres. The expense per acre
w ill be £1 12s., and the value of a single crop of rice at the
present price of Id. a pound, £5—three times tho wffiole cost.
Tliis includes a canal for navigation, seventy yards broad at
the head (which is already opened for some eighty miles) and
8 ft. deep, fitted for steamers of 250 tons.

The two Illustrations we have engraved show different
modes of applying wmter to the fields, as practised from time
immemorial by the poor husbandmen of India, and likewise by
those of China. In the one case a pan suspended by two pairs
of cords or thqngs is held with both hands by a couple of men
on the river’s bank, while they now dip it in the stream to fill it
with water, now' swing it in a sidelong direction to empty its cou-
tentsinto a rcservoirof higher level, from which it may pass by con¬
duits across the neighbouring field, and help to fertilise the soil.
Another Illustration shows the apparatus of pulleys for raising
water from a w'ell by' tho aid of a yoke of bullocks. The
Persian w heel, furnished with a series of buckets around its
circumference, one half of which is immersed in the tank or
canal, so that cacli bucket on the ascending side of the wheel
comes up full of water and discharges itself into an elevated
gutter or channel, has long been a familiar invention, to us.
Some of the Chinese hydraulic machines for agricultural
purposes are still more ingenious.

The Edinburgh School Board, at their meeting on Wednes¬
day, resolved to adopt the system of mixed classes of boys and

the Duke formally stated that the friendly relation* exbtia*
between France and Italy had never been troubled iu the
slightest degree, and that tho numerous reports which hadl^
circulated on the subject w'ore entirely false. * * The Govaram^
is desirous, ” he said, “ of watching over the person of the Holy
Father wfitli pious respect and filial solicitude, so far as hj t
spiritual authority and dignity are concerned, but it U al Si}
desirous of living in friendly relations W’itk the Italian
Government.” W itb regard to other countries, the Minister
observed that the policy of the Cabinet was essentially paciii Ct
“We wish for peace,” he exclaimed, “for we feel that it jjj
necessary' to assure the grandeur and the prosperity of France/ 1
These declarations were received with loud applause by the
Assembly; and, General du Temple insisting upon speaking
the order of the day was put. to the vote and carried by a Urge
majority.

The Ministerial statements have removed a great weight
from the public mind. A few days ago M. EiL SchfroT, a
Republican deputy and a writer in the Temp*, having addled
a telegram with reference to tho Ordnfique frigate, stationed at
Civita Vcccliia, to the Daily Nem t the despatch was cam.
umnicated to the Due do Broglie, and retained by him, under
the pretence that its publication was likely to oejasioa a
diplomatic complication -with Italy. M. Scherer, liavinjpro.
tested against tliis arbitrary measure, received a letter froai th*
Due de Broglie, in which the latter accused him of p dating out
to Italy a causa belli against France. AI. Scherer, in a circular,
forwarded to the Paris papers, declares, however, tint, far
from pointing out any causa belli to Italy, his intention wai fc>

THE ASHANTEE WAR.

The sketches of our Special Artist, Mr. Melton Prior, engraved
for this Number, represent the native market at Cape Coast
Castle, and the carriage of wator to supply the town, besides
an Hlustration ot the manner of shipping bullocks at Bierra
Leone.

The market is a scene of great bustle, full of dark-skinned
figures whose bright-coloured shawls aud other attire, mostly
ot calico, are the more conspicuous by contrast. They chatter
and chaffer, scold and quurrel, often bawling loudly to bdjfct
each other down. The women are of course the most busy,
though not a few of them are loaded with their babies, slung in
the told of a shawl at the lower x>art of the back ; when the
little one must be suckled, the mother draws its head forward,
under her arm, so that it lies round her aide, and its mouth is
applied to her breast. The articles of food usually offered for
sale at Cape Coast Castle arc Guinea grain, maize, bananas,
plantains, cassada root, melons, and gourds, hot pepper, aud
half-dried full, with the turn ol the shark, and some cheap
kinds of ihsh-meat, amongst which the ffesh of the monkey
is used; there is also tiger-milk, a thick creamy yellow
liquid, boiled Lorn the starchy root of an esculent plant. The

packets of grain are made up in wrappages of leaves, containing
about 2 lb., and are sold for three halfpence. Among the
figures in our market scene are those of a Krooboy sailor, from
Cape Palmas, who is recognised by the peculiar mark on his
nose ; and a Fantee policeman, in the riMit-hand corner, wear¬
ing cotton knickerbockers and a small cap, with liis con¬
stabulary truncheon in his hand. The boy lurking behind is
trying to mimic this policeman's attitude of official dignity.

The water supply of Cape Coast Castle i3 derived from Mr.
Crease's apparatus for distilling fresh water from that of the
salt ponds, a mile from the town. This apparatus is capable,
1)}' working night and day, of producing the daily quantity of
1500 gallons, but not more than 500 gallons is at present needed
for tiie European residents, garrison, and troops. The
water is very pure and clear, but it ia usual for the con¬
sumer to filter it again before drinking any of it. After
being distilled it is run into a series of casks or
barrels placed outside the engine-house. There are eleven
of these barrels, each holding ninety gallons, and they
are eo arranged that the water nows from one into the others,
filling them all at once. A pump is attached to the last, by
which the water is transferred to the casks of the water-carts
shown in our 1 Uustratiou. Wheu the water-carts have received
their freight of w ater they are hooked together in a train, aud
pushed over the hilly road into Cape Coast Castle. The
locality represented in our Artist’s sketch is a little way behind
the town. On the right hand is the signal station and lighthouse;
Fort William is to the left. The official distribution of wator
at the Castle is conducted like that of military rations, with a
regular allowance of so much for each person on the list.

The sketch from Sierra Leono was made during the stay of
the mail-steamer Volta at that port, on the voyage to Cape
Coast Castle, which was described several weeks ago. A number
of cattle w ere purchased and put on board the steamer at Sierra
Leone. They w ere fat and in good condition, but the mode
of hoisting the bullocks on deck appears strange and crueL It
is performed by fixing a leather strap about the horns of the
beast and attaching it to tho tackle of the steam-w r iuch. By
this means, after some distressing jerks and tugs, the poor
animal is lifted up bodily, aud raised over the ship's side. It3
agony of fright and pain seems to be great fuu in the eyes of
the negro helper's or loungers, who take it easily, aud wear as
little clothing as possible, even on board “liim white man big
canoe. ” These black fellows have assumed the oddest names,
such as “Tom Pepper," “Bottle o' Boer," “ Poor Fellar,"
“ Never Sweat,” “ Hungry Belly," “Raw Bones,” and others
invented by the sailors for them, but sometimes unlit for ears
polite.

Tlie scene “in the enemy's country,” wdiicli forms the sub¬
ject of a large Engraving presented for our Extra Supplement
this week, is merely designed to give an idea of the interior of
■Western Africa. Travellers assure us that the imagination can¬
not easily form any sufficient representation of the tropical
luxuriance of grow'th and life in this region at a certain distance
from the sca-coast. Between tho Assume and Volta rivers the
country is a mass of forest, the trees of which are on an
immense scale, varying, however, oil tho coast aud inland.
Thus, near the coast are to he found tho baobab, the cactus,
tho mangrove, various specimens of palms, the cotton, and
other large trees, all mixed with a wild entanglement of thorny
bush, itself growing to an inconceivable size. Wheu the sum¬
mit of the first mountains is reached, about fifteen miles in¬
land, the baobab disappears, and is replaced by another tree of
equal magnitude. So, too, docs the mangrove ; the palms become
scarce, but other trees are found in their stead, including a now
kind of aloe and citron. In the north there are trees anil shrubs
only in patches, and the country is covered with jungle and
guinea grass of an enormous height and thickness, which
is fired and used to manure the plantations. The sugar-cane
grow's wild, and there arc also tobacco, maize, and hourra,
millet, yams, rice, potatoes, and every kind of tropical plant in
abundance, of gums and aromatic spices, of dye 3 and hard
woods. The animals arc numerous and various. There are
deer, antelopes, civet cats, monkeys, porcupines, and goats, as
w r eff as leopards, jackals, wolves, wild boars, and w'ffd cats.
The rivers swarm with alligators ; but the animals seemingly
peculiar to Ashantee arc a gigantic rat, au odoriferous mouse,
and the arompo or man-eater, which diga up and devours dead
bodies. Reptiles are numerous, including serpents, tea ls and
frogs (somo of an immense size), and lizards. Of birds there
are pheasants, partridges, and wild ducks (of a very beautiful
plumage), dove9, crown birds, parrots, parroquets, guinea-
sparrows, and beccaticoes. The waterfowl are hcrous, bitterns,
and sea-mews. Birds of prey include eagles, kites, and one, not
lai ger than a dove, but bolder and more rapacious than any
other bird. Those peculiar to the couutry are the pookoc, use¬
ful in destroying field rats, and a bird about twice the size of
a sparrow, with a shrill, hollow note, the sound of which
is held to be of ill-omen. All the Aslianteo birds are remark¬
able for their plumage ; but none have pleasing voices, tlie only
songsters being the nightingale and the thrush. The woods are
fuff of bees, aud a species of ant called tenne 3 , so numerous
and rapacious that a sheep, attacked by them in the night, has
been found a skeleton in the morning. Firetiies, dragon-flies,
a tiy like tho eantliarides in appearance and scent, soorpions,
centipedes, and many noxious insects abound in the marshy
district*. The Ashautee beetle is three inches long and au ounce
in weight. Among the people of Ashantee a superstitious
reverence is paid to the larger and fiercer kinds of wild beasts.
The lion aud tiger they have not seen, but tho pauther or leopard
is held in sacred awe.

We take the present opportunity to notice a very useful
and amusing little book, “Life on the Gold Coast , ,r by Dr.
0. A. Gordon, C.B., Deputy Surgeon -General, published by
Messrs. Baiffiere, Tindall, and Co., of King William-street,
Strand. It contains the briefest minute and exact descriptions
of Cape Coast Castle, the English fort, the native town, the
habits of the people, the climate, scenery, plants, aud animals
of the Gold Coast, its different nations and tribes, including
the Asbantees ; and the best way to preserve oue’s health,
and to live there in tolerable comfort and safety.

The news of General Sir Garnet Wolscley's expedition is to
the 3rd inst. He was then on the banks of tho river Prah,
eighty miles inland from Cape Coast Castle. The Riffe Brigade
landed on New-Year’s Day and marched at once towards the
Prah, which it would reach in eight days; the 42nd High¬
landers were to march on tho 3rd, and the 23rd Welsh Fusiliers
, would follow^ on the 6th. The whole force w.vs to cross the
I Prali and enter the Ashantee territory on the loth. We are
1 further told that Captain Glover, having found himself unable
• to act upon the banka of the river Volta, is ordered to lead 1000
| Houssas to join Sir Garnet Wolseley, crossing the Prah, on the
15th, at a point thirty miles east of Prah-su, where the
General s mam force will cross by the bridge already erected.
Admiralty despatches from Commodore Iiewett and Captain
Bradshaw, of H.M.S. Encounter, relate the destruction of
Chamah, at tho moutli of the Prah, by the Coinmenda pottle,
with some assistance from our ships’ boats, ua the day before
Christinas Day.

A telegram from America announces the demise, or demises,
oi that extraordinary tu&us net tana the “Biamese Twins,” Wo
suppose that we may assume the news to be authentic. It is
stated that one of them survived the other about two hours.
The fact, if it be one, suggests a variety of considerations ; bub
w e may as well wait for details. We do not suppose that thi
scientific men of America are likely to forego an opportunity of
having, perhaps, the most interesting autopsy which has over
been possible, and we hope that it will not fail into unskilful
hand?. Jle I wins have been so long before the world thab
persons who, like ourselves, visitod them on their first appsar-
ance in London scarcely care to count tlu> years since the
mild, pleasant-looking lads, each with an arm over the other’s
shoulder, laughed at the crowds that il-ickc i to—we believe—
the Egyptian Hall. But such persons will remember thab fcko
opinions of eminent surgeons were taken as to the feasibility of
severing the band that united the youths, and of thus deliv»i ring
each from utter dependence upon tho fate of tho other. We
do not know whether, had the verdict of science beeu in r our
of the operation, it would haVo been performed, as the itW'ms
were m the hands of a showman who might nob nave desired
that his gains should cease, even for the sake of delivering two
human beings from their strange thraldom. But the men of
science decided that the separation would in all probability be
fatal to both. This must be the beat part of half a
century ago, and tho singular beings have lived on until
they at tamed the age of sixty-three. When they are entirely
forgotten, except by medical men, their names will be pre¬
served in literature ; for they helped Lord Lytton to a title for
one ei his smaller works, and MacUse to a portrait of Lord
Lytton himself, as the “ biamese Twins,” the author having been
ingeniously doubled by the artist's device of representing him
shaving himself at a huge glass. The picture is in tho “ Fraser”
senes just republished. Perhaps, too, an epigram may help to
keep their name alive. A lady remonstrated with her husband
on her being left to herself q good deal, and she quoted Byron’s
woids, ‘‘Happiness was born a twin. ” The unkind answer
was, 44 \es, dear, -but not a .Siamese Twin.”

“After compliments,” as tho Orientals say (by which in the
present case, and in that of any future references to the
“miserable business ” until its en-L we mean that wo disclaim
all ideas of conte of court), we call attention to a remark
made by the Lord Chief Justice on Tuesday, It was touching
the operation which schoolboys, for whom nothing is sacred
except holidays, describe as “ blubbing, Somebody in tho
case had cried, or pretended to cry. Said Mr. Hawkins, “ If
1 may he excused for mentioning it, your Lordship remarked
long ago that when witnesses pretend to cry you should look
for the tear-drop upon their cheeks. Sir Alexander answered,

*‘ 1 was not aware that I ever said it ; bn 1 1 confess tho observa¬
tion long ago occurred to me— I tliink during a trial in tho
Homo Circuit. The fact is, there are people who can look
as ii they were crying; but, if you observe them narrowly,
you will see that no tear comes, and a few moments afterwards
veil may find them looking as cheerful as possible again.”
Ibis, being said from the bench, is of course to bo
accepted and remembered. Bat Sir Alexander Cock-
bum is tho last man who would desire that people-
good people— should learn to be hard-hearted. With permis¬
sion, we shall append to his dictum another view of the hydraulic
question, and we do so with the greater pleasure in that we
quote from one of the most delightful books in the world, Mr.
Black’s “Adventures of a Phaeton.” The husband and tho
wife, Tita, have had one of their sham fights, and the little
lady says, tenderly, “You have been very rude to me.” “Then
don’t say anything more about it,” replies the husband, who is
narrator; “re ceive my forgiveness, Tita. ” 4 * That was not the

way you used to speak to me when we were at Eastbourne,”
she si id, “ and with that she looked very much as if she wore
going to cry. Of course, she was not going to cry. She has
had the trick of looking like that from her youth upward ; but
as it is about aa pretty and pathetic as the real thing, it in¬
variably answers the same purpose. It is understood to be a
signal of surrender— a sort of appeal for compassion.” But then
tlnsia only a codefornlco people, likethos^ whomade the journey
in the phaeton, oi whom we hml a we cun.* ghinjiso again at

There is nothing like a judicial investigation for affording
illustrations of the manners and habits of thought of “our
Heeh and blood.” Graphic descriptions by accomplished pen¬
men arc all very well, but, though we have no objection to their
“pointing their moral,” it suffers by their “adorning their
tale. One likes to hear a person speak for himself or herself.

At the Taunton inquiry a Lady, whose name is Charity Venner,
was most unconsciously amusing. She says that at the eloc-
tiou she saw somebody lay hold of her son by the coat, as a kind
of suggestion to that young gentleman to go to the poll and dis¬
charge the sacred duty which a trusting Legislature had confided
to him. But for some unexplained reason Mrs. Charity was
exasperated at seeing this very mild stimulus applied to her

sous patriotism, and she uttered — being, she says, “excited” _

a demand whether the individual so acting “considered himself
a gentleman.” Up to this point our feelings were rather with
tho lady, for ave do not approve of demonstrative manners,
which are quite apart from the traditions of refined society!
Still, some little energy may bo forgiven at an election. Not
so thought IS Ira. Charity Venner, for, on an Irish gentleman
proceeding to a little roughish gallantry by way, we suppose,
of propitiating her, she remonstrated with more severity than
became a lady with such a Christian name. In fact, to use her
own words, she “threw a handful of mud upon him.” The
sex is always liberal; and Mrs. Venner made it a good handful,

for “some of it splashed upon the carriage” of the Liberal
candidate. However, the omen may be accepted, for a g j
deal more mud has been thrown at the Attorncy-Gumr d, ail
it by no means seems to stick. We write before t le decision,
and therefore l ave no right to express an opinion o i the case
itself; but the learned Judge lias expressed til j strongest
opinion that nothing which was done at Taunton affects the
character of Sir Henry James—a declaration that cm surprise
nobody, but one which it i 3 satisfactory to read in these d tys
of wholesale vilification of men who aspire to S3rvo their
country._

BOOKS OF TRAVEL.

Among the recent publications of special interest are several
books of travel in Asia, Africa, and America, which add to oiu*
knowledge of the earth and its products aud living inhabitants.
The Land of the White Elephant, by Frank Vincent, jun. (pub¬
lished by Sampson Low, Marston, and Searle), is an interesting
account of personal adventures and observations in Bur mall,
Siam, Cambodia, and Cochin-China. The author has spent
three years in examining various countries of Asia, in addition
to those which belong to the south-eastern peninsula, sometimes
called Farther India, or India beyond tho Ganges. It was at
the beginning of April, 1872, that he arrived at Rangoon, the
chief port of British Burin ah; and he left Saigon, the port of
French Cochin-China, or Arniam, in March, 18/2; but halt
this interval of time was employed in visits to Java, Japan
and China, including a trip up the Yaug-tze-Kiang. U.i
his return to Singapore he betook himself to Biagkok,
the capital of Siam, and saw miuji that is curious and
remarkable in that country, of whose Kings and their Court
fashions wefhave lately heard. Mr. Frank Vincent journoye l
overland eastward through Siam, from Bangkok to the grea*.
river Mekong, in Camboaia, whence he descended the course of
that stream to the French settlements. His narrative here
occupies part of the ground that was taken by the late Hear-
Mouhot, in his “ Travels in Indo-China, Cambodia, and Lao*, ”
published about ten years ago. We are glad of the opportunity
to compare the French traveller’s descriptions with those of a
later English observer, as well as with tho admirably-executed
photographs by Mr. Thompson, of Singapore, a few of which
have, from time to time, beeu engraved for this Journal. Our
readeis, we trust, have not forgotten tho marvellous ruins of
superb and elegant architecture and decorative sculpture in the
temples of Angkor aud Nagkon, in Eastern Siam. There is
scarcely anything more wonderful among similar remains of
ancient building in Assyria, in Syria, or in Egypt, or even in
classic Greece and imperial Rome. Bub tho antiquary cannot
yet with certainty declare when or by whom, iu whit
age or by what nation, these vast edifices of South-
Eastern Asia wore raised, and pdorned with consummate
artistic skill. The interest of such an historical problem ia
alone sufficient to invite a thoughtful reader’s attention;
besides which, Mr. Frank Vincent has much to relate of the
actual condition of those remote countries, which may be found
of no small value to the business of commercial intercourse and
exchange. His volume is furnished with a map and plans, and
witu about fifty wood engravings.

The enterprising and persevering attempts of Mr. Thuraaui
lnornas Cooper to open a new route for British commerce into
Tibet, whether from the western provinces of China or from
tho north-eastern corner of India, have been noticed on former
occasions. His narrative entitled “Travels of a Pioneer of
Commerce, in Pigtail and Petticoats,” which appeared some

three years since, told ub ot a inrmt artveiittivou^Ttrrv- pei uW>

experience, at first in the disguise of a native Chinaman, aftur-
warcis in tho unprotected state of a lonely foreigner, ill pro¬
vided with the means of procuring subsistence or service. He
was constantly baiiied and thwarted by tho intrigues of the
Chinese official rogues on his way to the frontier of Tibet, and
when he reached the town of Bathang, found himself expressly
forbidden to proceed farther towards Lassa, the capital of that
ii. ngular Central Asiatic State. His subsequent detention aud

Aral and Caspian Seas, to the north. The strategic
Herat, from this point of view, is shown with snfficwntdi* *
ness ; and we must say thnt it will nevor dote let thellu,' 05 '"
eet hold of that fortress, tho gate of Southern Asia, n 1
ft can only he defended by our alliance with the 11

Cabool 'and Kandahar ; and we ought, therefore to i

narrow escape from a violent death among tho half-savage
tribes in the north of \unnan, through which he endeavoured
to get into Bramah, is a tale of much interest. Mr. Cooper’s
next attempt, on behalf of the Calcutta Chamber of Commerce,
was to find a practicable road from the British Indian province
of Assam, up the river Brahmapootra, into the same country
of i. 1 bet, to which the Assam tea-planters are looking as a most
profitable market for their fragrant herb; The consumption of
tea is enormous, for a moderate number of population, both in
Tibet and Turkestan, six or eight million pounds of brick tea
being annually imported into Tibet from China. This circum¬
stance, with x\lr. Cooper’s and hia employers’ views upon the
subject, may be a sufficient reason for the hostility of the
Chinese provincial authorities to his mission of mercantile
research. We believe that the trade of ludia will shortly
obtain a more direct and convenient way of entrance into
Tibet by a road across the passes of the Himalyas, either
through the Sikkim territory, north of Darjeeling a
short railway ride from Calcutta, or else up ° the

exist* cl in C ylon in the present day ; after which he proceeded
to examine the theory of Buddhism as taught by its priests,
and showed that, whilst it inculcated a system of morality,
that system had no sufficient principle or motive; and
although, ;v a system, it was not comparable to the Christian
religion, jet all who had studied its recognised books wo\ild

mittee of Edinburgh) waited upon Mr. Forster, on Wednesday,

in promising the subject his careful attention, cited to the
deputation passages from their own reports in which they
piaisedthe ability and impartiality of Mr. Hullali.

At a meeting of the Royal Humane Society, held on Tues¬

six deaths from smallpox were more numerous than in recent
weeks, and Included 4 unvaccinated c«u»e3 in tho Smallpox
Ho.-pital at Homerton. The 27 deaths from fever included 16
which were certified as enteric or typhoid, 7 as typhus, and 4 as

street, the sureties of Mr. Joseph Javier do Lizardi, praying
for a remission of tho sum of £6000 each, the amount of their
estreated recognisances. They stated, in effect, that thoy had
known the firm of Mr. de Lizardi for between thirty ami forty
years, and its character stood very high in tho city of London.
They implicitly believed in the innocence of the accused, and
they therefore without hesitation offered themselves a 3 his
sureties. No one was more surprised than they wqre to learn
that oh the very night of his release the defendant absconded ;
and they at once took steps, by offering a large reward and
securing the services of an experienced detective, to obtain his
arrest, but were unsuccessful. They added that they had
received no guarantee or indemnification from the prisoner or
his friends, and that they had paid the entire sum into the
coffers of the Corporation. Mr. Alderman FUG moved and
Mr. Alderman M‘Arthur, M.P., seconded a resolution to the
effect that the petition should be reform! to the Law and Par¬
liamentary committee for consideration and report. Mr.
Alderman Figgins, M.P., proposed, as an amendment, “Thai:
the petition do lie upon the table.” This wa 3 seconded by Mr.
Homy Cover. A long discussion ensued, and the amendment
was finally carried by a majority of eight in a court of 159
members.

The annual session of the Jersey States opened ou Wednes¬
day, and several bills were brought in, among them being a
measure for imposing a gun licence of £1 per annum, and for¬
bidding youths under eighteen to to carry firearms for sporting
purposes. This law is deemed expedient from the large numbers
of hoys w’ho are allowed, without hindrance, to waudor about
shooting hi the most careless manner. After considerable
opposition the bill was committed for discussion.

The Gazelle of Genoa of the 12th Bays :—“In tho historical
palace of Brignole-Sale, or the Palazza Rossa, was accom¬
plished this afternoon a solemn act, which is without parallel,
except in the most Bplendid annals of tho former munificence
of Genoese patricians. The Marquise Maria Brignole-Sale, the
last surviving branch of that illustrious family, assisted and
authorised by tho Duke de Galliera, Senator of the Kingdom,
her husband, and by their sou, tho Marquis Filippo, gave to tho
city of Genoa the said palace with its magnificent library and
gallery of pictures, which are renowned all over Europe. These
last will remain open to students and visitors, and the revenue
of the building will be applied to the encouragement of litera¬
ture and art, and the purchase of artistic treasures for the city.”
This palace is considered by many persons as the finest in Genoa
in an architectural point of view'. The collection of pxiut-
ings contains a great number of portraits by Vandyke, as well
as work8 1 y Guido, Tintoretto, Paul Veronese, and others of the
old matters.

NATIONAL SPOETS.

Coursing men, who have been comparatively idle for the last
month, assembled in strong force at Altcar last week for the
Club Meeting, in which the greatest interest was taken, a3 it
was known that about twenty of the Waterloo nominators
would be represented. Fortunately the weather, except ou
the final day, was most propitious, hares wero strong aud
plentiful, and Mr. Hedley and Wilkinson, who respectively
acted a8 judge and slipper, got through their work in very satis¬
factory style. Mr. T. T. O. Lister won the two first courses
of the Members’ Cup, his Cymbal beating Glorious Apollo in
rare style; and, a little further down the card, Genuine Busi¬
ness, who, as well as Glorious Apollo, is an own brother to
Peasant Boy, was also put out. Old Chameleon was a little
too clover for Hemlock; and Hamilton, who it is thought
will fill Mr. Hornby’s nomination for the Waterloo Cup,
never gave Laudanum a chance iu a nice trial. The
meeting of Chameleon aud Hamilton afforded the best contest of
the first ties, and tho former just managed to secure the award.
She also won her third course iu grand style ; but was pat out
by Aunt Blanche in the third ties ; and tlio latter, who is by
Banner Blue—Aunt Agatha, eventually divided with Mr.
Jardine’s Progress, by Improver—Amy. Mr. T. T. C. Lister
had it all his own way in the Croxteth Stakes, which was divided
between his two representatives, Cantiniere, by Cashier—Chloe,
and Chorister, by Singing Master—Charming May. The Vete ran
Stakes was interesting from the success of old Black Knight,
who took part in one or two Waterloo Cups in the Master
M Grath days. The Beckliampton (Wiltshire) Open Meeting,
which was held about the same time, also proved very success¬
ful. The Beckhamptou Stakes for puppies was divided between
Heiress, by Pickle—Stourton Belle, and Sam’s Delight, by Pat
of Mullingar—Spendthrift; while Wax, that ancient damsel
Deotfora’s daughter, and Jack Homer shared the Wiltshire
Stakes between them.

Mr. Jaidine’s nomination is firmly established at the head
of the Waterloo Cup quotations, and we hear that Muriel 1ms
quite recovered from the bite she recently received, while
Pn gross showed gieat speed and cleverness at Altcar last
week. Mr. Henmiing's nomination still occupies a rather
dubious position, and it is asserted that Peasant Boy will, after
all, run for some other owner. This we do not believe for one
moment, as, wero such a course pursued, Mr. Hemming’s first
nomination for the “blue ribbon ” would certainly bo his last.

The annual sale of Mr. R. Clemitson's saplings took place, at
Aldridge’s, ou Saturday last. The entire lot of twenty-two
brace inlide 645 gs., or an average of about 15 gs. each. Five
whelps by Racing Hopfactor—(Iravelotto made 129gs., and Mr.
Hemming purchased six lots.

The account of the last match played by our countrymen in
the Antipodes is more satisfactory than some of fcheprevious
ones. We learn that they defeated twenty-two of Warmam-
bool by nine wickets, making 104 and (with tho loss of one
wicket) 17 against 68 aud 51. No report of individual scores
has reached us at tho time of writing.

A very exciting billiard-match for £200 was played at Man¬
chester. on Monday evening last, when John Roberts, jun.,
attempted to concede 300 points in 1000 to W. TimbrclL The
latter, with breaks of 59, 42, 56, 111, and 127 (thirty-nine spot
strokes), held his own during fcho early part of the game ; but,
after the interval, Roberts caught «and passed him with con¬
tributions of 70. 47, 79, 49, amt 42, ana reached 981 against
his opponent’s 903. when Tiinbrell took full advantage of his
hist chance, and, with a fine break of 98 (thirty-two “spots”),
w ou by 19 points.

NEW GUNS AT ST. HELENA.

Tills lonely islet of the Atlantic Ocean, which was the prison
of Napoleon I., is not entirely forgotten. St. Helena is amongst
the fortified places of the British emjiire w’hich it has been
thought necessary to arm of late years with heavy riffed
ordnance in substitution for old smooth-Imres. The rocky nature
of the shores of this island, and the rollers which scarcely cease
for a few consecutive day* in the year, render the landing of
such heavy masses of metal as our modern pieces of ordnance a
difficult and dangerous operation to carry through in a surging
sea. One of the tw o Illustrations which we now give is a view
of Mundeii's Fort (from the east), with the small barracks
attached thereto. In 1846 the rollers washed up level with the
parapet of this fort. Tho other Illustration is a Wow of the
rocks at Munden’s Point, the place selected for landing tho
heavy guns, aud showing also the sheers erected by tho Royal
Artillery, under Lieutenant Maclean ; and in the background
a view' of the anchorage off James Town. The guns lately
placed in position are riffed muzzle-loading guns of 7 tons
weight. The conveyance of these guns from the schooner Just,
which took them from England, and the work of lauding
them on the rocks, was performed by the shipping firm (3
Erridge and Co., Government water-transport contractors for
the island of St. Helena.

The Great Western Railway Company is about to laydown

At Cambridge the special committee appointed to inquire

Speaking on Monday at the soiree of the Bradford Chamber
of Commerce, Lord F. Cavendish reviewed the commercial
events of last year and of other years preceding. He did not
know whether our real property would bear the whole weight
of taxation; but long steps had been taken in the direction of
such a policy.

Mr. Donnell, Registrar-General for Ireland, lias issued a
return showing that last year 90,149 emigrants left that
country, being an increase, compared with the year 1872, of
12,0-17. The total emigration from Ireland since May I, 1851,
the date at which the collection of returns began, is stated to
be 2,252,745 persons.

The new' Board of Railway Commissioners lia3 issued a form. "
of notice to be used by companies w hen two or more desire to
enter into working agreements. The particular powers sought
are to be advertised in tho newspapers, and persons aggrieved
are to send iu their objections to the Railway Commissioners
twenty-eight days after the public notification of the scheme.

Lord Lyttelton has written a letter expressing his entire
concurrence w ith the views of Sir Charles Trevelyan upon the
sub ject of charity electioneering reform. He points out some
of the evils of the present system, and adds that he once un¬
advisedly undertook to promote the election of a candidate to
Earlsw’cod Asylum, and the cost of sending out cards alone

amounted to more than £60.-The Rev. R. J. Simnsou states

that nearly 500 life-governors and subscribers of the British
Orphan Asylum have* recorded their approval of the amend¬
ment proposed at the late court of that institution hi favour of
“Charity Voting Reform,”

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS, Jan. 24, 1874. 80

WEST AREA OF ST, PAUL’S-CHURCHYARP, AS NEWLY ARRANGED.

MifJSgi

ST. PAUL’S-CHURCHYARD.

The western part of St. Paul’s*churchyard, in front of the
main entrance to the cathedral, and opposite the top of Lud-
gate-kill, will be much improved, both in appearance and in
convenience, by the alterations now in progress. The new
arrangement is shown in our Illustration. It has been agreed
upon by the Dean and Chapter with the Corporation of
London ; the former giving up a space of more than 7000 square
feet to the public roadway, and the latter paying £15,000 as
the price of this laud, while the Dean and Chapter expend
about £0000 of the money in the proposed improvements,
designed by their own architect and surveyor, Mr. Penrose.

After enlarging the roadway by about 7000 ft., as already
stated, a space is laid out in front of the cathedral, of the form
of a semi-ellipse. The major semi-diameter of the curve lies
westward, and extends 114 ft. in front of the cathedral; the
smaller diameter, lG 8 ft., extends from the northern to the
southern tower. The area thus inclosed, upwards of 15,(XX) ft.,
will remain the property of the Dean and Chapter, but people
on foot will have access to it; only upon the occasion of im¬
portant services in the Gathedral it will be inclosed temporarily
by harriers fixed to the granite posts which mark the boundary,
to diminish the pressure of the crowd from the doors. At night
the upper part of the staircase and the portico will be protected
by an iron fence of a suitable pattern, so contrived that by
machinery ooncealed in the vaults it can be raised or lowered.

The reserved area extends to about 9 ft. westward of the
railing of the Queen Anne statue, and the Corporation have
agreed to form around and outside the entire boundary a paved
footway, 6 ft. wide, which will be elevated by the usual curb
above the roadway. The whole area within the curb will be
Hat up to the steps leading to the cathedral. The sill support¬
ing the posts is of Aberdeen granite, 2 ft 4 in. wide. The posts,
which are of dark red granite from the Shap Quarries in West¬
morland, are polished, and arc ornamented by a deeply-sunk
neck moulding for the purpose of attachment of temporary
barriers. The posts arel ft. 5 in. in diameter at the base, tapering
in the shaft (3 ft. 13 in. high exposed to view, and about 1 ft. 6 in.
sunli in the solid concrete and granite curb). They are 7ft. 3in.
from centre to centre, or about four diameters apart, except
that two larger openings, defended by larger posts, are formed
to give carriage access to the west front Tor the Royal, civic,
and other dignitaries on the occasion of great festivals. The
paving in front of the great steps is formed with panels by means
of granite bands, 11 in. wide, the intersections being marked
by octagons ; the filling-in where the carriage access is in¬
tended is of strong granite blocks ; and the remainder, for the
mast part, is formed out of the old Purbeck pitching, a
large portion of which was found to be sound and hard,
and lias been carefully reworked and gauged for the
purpose. The statue of Queen Anne, the care of which belongs
to a Government department, will he restored, also the fence
round it, unless the fence be removed entirely. There will be
a circular pathway round it, formed of radiating slabs of gra¬
nite, circumscribed by a margin of the 11 -in. granite, similar to
the divisions of the panels. The steps forming the great

flights''in front of the portico are formed of black Guernsey
granite, which take the place of the old black marble, now
much worn. The material is very durable. Mr. Penrose has
designed the lower flights with returned ends, as shown on a
plan by Sir 0. Wren himself, in the possession of the Chapter.
The landing will be paved with marbles of different kinds,
consisting of a margin of Sicilian, inclosing panels of squares,
arranged lozenge-wise, of black and red, the latter being from
the revived Rosso Antieo quarries. The lamp-posts are ten in
number, two for the pedestals, for which open iron or bronze
scrollwork designs are contemplated, and eight for the area,
for which granite posts have been proposed. The works have all
been designed by the cathedral surveyor, and carried out

under his superintendence by Mr. Wilkinson, the ca

THE LATE MR. OKE.

We lately recorded the^death of Mr. George Colwell Oke, chief
clerk to the Lord Mayor of London. The deceased gentleman,
who was only fifty-one years of age, became assistant clerk to
the Lord Mayor in 1855, having previously acted as clerk to
the Newmarket Bench of Justices, ami in 1865 he succmM
Mr. Goodmau in the chief clerkship. He was one of the ablest
of criminal lawyers, especially in the summary branch of pro¬
cedure, and he was the author of many standard legal works,
including “Oke’s Magisterial Synopsis,” which has passed
through eleven editions ; 44 The Magisterial Formalist,” “The
Law of Turnpike Roads,” the 14 Handy Book of the (Lime ami
fishery Laws,” and 44 Oke on the Licensing Laws.” Although
ailing, for some time past, he remained at his post at the
Mansion House until the week of his death. Our portrait of
Mr. Oke is from a photograph by Maull and Co.

The city of Caracas, the capital of Venezuela, has lately h en
the scene of great rejoicing, to celebrate the opening of the now

(which is liable to earthquakes),
only one story high, and of very

SIAMESE ORDER OF
KNIGHTHOOD.

The Grand Siamese Order of Knight¬
hood consists of 300 members, ex¬
clusive of the King, who is its
Grand Master. These are divided
into five classes or grades, named
respectively Knights Grand Cross,
Knights Commanders, Commanders,
Companions, and Fifth Class. The
decorations worn by each class were
designed by his Siamese Majesty,
and have been executed by Messrs.
Hunt and Roskell, of New' Bond-
street. They arc described as
follows:—

The Grand Master wears a collar,
scarf, badge, and star. The collar
is of gold, with a centre ornament
representing a three-headed ele¬
phant, surmounted by the regal
crown encircled by rays. On each
side of the elephant, and acting as
supporters, is a dragon of conven¬
tional Siamese character; anti the
remainder of the collar consists of
links formed alternately of lotus-
flowers and the Royal cipher. The
entile ornament is closely studded
with gems.

The badge is formed of an eight-
pointed star, in pink enamel, pen¬
dent from the regal crown encircled
by rays. In the centre of the badge,
on the obverse, is a portrait, in
enamel, of his Siamese Majesty, and
on the reverse an enamel painting of

BADGE, COLLAR, AND STAB OF A NEW ORDER OF KNIGHTHOOD
INSTITUTED BY THE KING OF SIAM.

the three-headcd elephant. Around
theso paintings arc circles of dia¬
monds, bordering a legend in Sia¬
mese characters in gold, on a ground
of dark blue enamel. The points of
the star aro connected by a wreath
of lotus-flowers in gold aud enamel.

The Bcarf is of pink watered silk
ribbon, with gold buckle and hook.

The star is of sixteen points,
alternately silver and gold, closely
set with diamonds. The centre is
occupied by the Royal cipher in
diamonds, on a ground of pink
enamel, and is surrounded by two
circles of diamonds, which inclose a
legend in Siamese characters on a
blue enamel ground.

The Knights Grand Cross, who aro
twenty in number, have the badge,
scarf, and star, as worn by the
Grand Master, but without auy
gems. The silver rays of the star
are, however, cut in facets, like
diamonds.

The Knights Commanders are
fifty in number, and w r ear the badge,
as above, suspended from a narrow-
ribbon collar of pink watered silk.
The star of this grade has eight
points, which are rayed, not cut in
facets. The centre is the same as
that of the Knights Grand Cross.

The Commanders, thirty in num¬
ber, have the badge and ribbon
collar, as Knights Commanders, but
w r ear no star.

The Companions, to the number of
one hundred, have the same badge
aa the other members of the order,
but smaller in size ; and it is worn
suspended from a short piece of
pink watered silk ribbon, with a
buckle-brooch and bar, as our mili¬
tary medals.

The Fifth Class, also numbering
a hundred members, wear a silver
medallion, made in one piece, the
details of which are almost identical
with those of the badges worn by
the other grades.

The first investiture of the mem¬
bers of this new order took place on
the late occasion of the King’s
coronation.

- . .JIEMBEKS OUT .OF. PARLIAMENT..

At*a’ tijne when a dissolution of Parliament is perhaps immi¬
nent—or. at any rate, looming in the by no means far future—
it is not surprising that representatives of the people of all
classes should be.interchanging ideas with their constituents,
even to the very* verge of the Session. This is, in some sort,
an electioneering device ; and perhaps it is thought that a vote
of •cofffidtdihe’ih a member, caught from a meeting of electors
in,assembled, is an implied promise of renewal of exist¬
ing relations. Some of the out-of-door speeches are in the nature
of voluntary valedictions ; and, doubtless, a great many will be
found to have had that character, though not intended to be so.

From a shoal of such addresses some may be selected for
remark ; and, in the first instance, note may be taken of Sir
Charles Dilke, who has been delivering his regular annual
oration to his friends in Chelsea, as distinguished from his recent
political autobiography, about which so nmcji has been said or
written. It seems that the hon. Baronet was woefully mis¬
understood on that occasion, and that fierce articles have been
written about him, evidently without liis speech having been
read, people, judging from the past, took for granted that his
sentiments would be, to put it mildly, unloyal and wildly demo¬
cratic. In this an awful mistake has been made; for Sir Charles
Dilke asserts that things are attributed to him in that particular
discourse which are abhorrent and repulsive to him, and that
he would rather jump into the Thames from the nearest bridge
(there arc two very conveniently near at Chelsea) than have it
thought that ho entertained such opinions. When, therefore,
he, in effect, professes to be ready to die for liis Queen, and by
his own act. so as to bo found some day at Barking Creek, as
what Mr. Mantalini calls “a moist,. unpleasant body/’ each of
liis mistaken detractors can only cry peccavi, and hope that Sir
Charles Dilke may be preserved Worn a watery grave, long to do
those services to the State for which his unquestioned abilities
and originality of view render him eminently capable. In personal
appearance Sir Ilenry Hoare is in a manner always picturesque.
His “get up,” to use a colloipiial phrase, generally betokens
an artistic idea of costume ; and sometimes jn the hot summer
days, when morning sittings are on, he appears in costumes
winch may be termed at once seasonable and radiant. In his
speeches, too, there is an eccentric irregularity which would
give them force, even if they did not usually contain n good
deal of rough epigram ; and, as he never speaks for more than
ten minutes, he often enlivens a discussion which is grow¬
ing wearisome. At the meeting at Chelsea above mentioned
his appearance was quite dramatic. It was announced that an
accident had almost incapacitated him from doing the outer
part of his senatorial duty, and lie withheld himself from the
platform until the moment when it was his turn to speak, and
lio withdrew when lie' had concluded; so that he made an
cil’edtive entrance and equally effective exit. He was as breezy,
and cheery, and as practical na ever, his temporary mutilation
notwithstanding ; and the “enthusiastic cheers ” amidst which
he retired gave evidence that he is destined to Be member for
Chelsea in the next Parliament. ,

Amongst the comparatively young members who are alwayB
striving to come to the front in the House, Major Arbuthhot is
One of the most striving. He is a devoted Army reformer,
not in the Radical sense, but in that of bettering the efficiency
and number of our forces. He is very troublesome to the War
Office people in the House, having always some faulty matter of
detail to tell of, and is utterly unconscious of ever being put down,
let Mr. Cardwell charm ever so wisely, or Sir Henry Storks
prove that whatever is is right (in bi* department) ever so sen-
tentiously. He is as teaming as a gadfly, and will not be waved
away by contemptuous brushes of the hand of any official,
however high ana mighty. He lias been o mrnunicating with
that portion of the constituency of Hereford whioh consists of
his political friends, atad naturally he went into bo decided a
military matter as the Ash an tee war ; and the inode in which
lie dealt with tfie subject was nn apt illustration -of liis usual
critical maimer. To him the praise which has been bestowed
by Liberal members, cap mdly ’ Home military aspirants to
Parliamentary honours, on tin efficiency aud promptitude
sjiowii in the arrangements for the African hostilities, ia mere
“liosh” (what ho saidmay fairly Ih> summed trp by that
oppressive but curt' and vnJg-ir-voTtndin.,' word); as if the
liisputch and providing for an expeditionary force of 2000 men
was a great feat for a country' that spends £25,000,000 a year
on its Army and Navy ! Speaking as an authority, he put the
expense of the Ashaiitee war at not more than £2,’00D,UD0 ; but
some high-wrought sentiments w hich he uttered about expendi¬
ture of blood and treasure, for the preservation of the honour
of England, w ould seem to indicate that he would not object to
nn indefinite expansion of that tmm ; and perhaps in this be
will be gratified.,

Usually a *<uiet, undemonstrative member, Mr. Tipping,
when he occasionally favours the House with a few remarks,
shows as a olioeriui, pleasant gentleman ami a practical man.
A recent intercommunication which 1m has been having with liis
constituents at Stockport makes intelligible a recommendation
which Mr, Disraeli made to the Stockport Conservative deputa¬
tions which “kotooed” to linn, amongst others, during his visit
t• • Manchester, two years ago, 44 to take care of Mr. 'Dipping.”
For it w ould ssein that he is a gentleman who has decided
opinions on most of the topics of the day, in a Conservative
sense; and some of his definition»—such, for instance, as of
Home Rule—were pointed enough, and altogether his speech
was well calculated to induce the Conservative electors of
Stockport to ‘ * take care of him 99 at the next election.

According to a resolution passed at a recent gathering at
Chester, Mr. Raikcs, who represents that borough, has"per¬
formed valuable sendees to the Constitutional cause and the
city during the Inst five years. It may be bo (wo aVe not in a
position to gainsay it); but it may bo fancied that tho electors
or Chestur have been viewing their member through a jxditical
magnifying glass, which 1ms expanded the dimensions of a
Bomewliat tart Parliamentary minor critic. Hut, in common
with nil constituencies, they only indulged in tlm amiable
weakness of making h star of their member; and if they
behove in him as a political influence that* is all that is
necessary.

Amongst tho valedictions that arc being made by members
to their mends and electors one is notable—inuncdy, that of
Mr. Kdionnd Totter at Carlisle. In a quiet way Mr. Totter
was a personage in the House, not because ho thundered out
blatant speeches and frothed-up opinions, but liecatise he was a
man essentially sensible and of largo experience, in matters on
whioh 1m spoke, with a gimUtOncss that, panidoiocal as it may
sccui, gave force to what lib said. Bo has scarcely made any
appearance ia tho last two or three years, and it is understood
that ill-health obliges him to retire from Parliament. As he
always occupied a particular seat and was of a venerable aspect,
he was n noticeable figure in the* House. He was unequal to
the task of meeting his constituents the other day, and upon
fcir Wilfred Lawson fell a double duty, in instructing and
amusing the assembled audience. He is equal to any occasion,
and he proved himself to be equal* to .this. Nothing could be
more inoisive than most of ‘his remarks, and one can well
understand how effective thoymuat have Bounded when, as

of course, accompanied by the easy style of banter, and that
admirable byqday 4 which characterises his rhetoric. Having
told all the reforms which he wanted that had been obtained,
he proceeded to say what further ones he desired—namely, the
roform of the publicans and the English Church, a comieally-
contemptuous juxtaposition. As to the latter, he makes no
difficulty about it, deeming it no question of time, because he
says that either Mr. Gladstone or Mr. Disraeli (with odds on
the latter) is to disestablish the Chiu*cli; and, as both those
statesmen are sexagenarians, each in his degree, thev have not
much time to spare before they set about their work of demo¬
lition. The reform of the publicans he appeared to treat as
mightier work; for lie does not despise liis opponents in his
crusade against free drinking, amongst the most formidable of
whom he places brewers who are always building churches, and
philosophical Radicals like Mr. Fawcett, w ho think the great
object of legislation is to grant facilities for drinking beer.
There was, an obvious plagiarism when he asked favour for his
Permissive Bill because it was only a little one; but, on the
whole, liis speech was sturdy, jolly, and at the same time
earnest, as all his speeches are.

Time was when Mr. Baines stood out in tho Liberal party
as a most advanced Radical; but the progress of Radicalism
has left him far behind, aud he seems no better than an old
Whig. An excellent illustration of the position which he now
occupies in the ranks of Liberalism is to be found in the
chronicle of a meeting which he attended in Leeds lately, and
where he stood side by side with a representative Radical who
is bis colleague. The speech of Mr. Baines was, though he tried
hard to assume a tone of ultra-Liberalism, a mere rattling of
dry hones, compared w ith the full-blooded, rioting, rollicking
Radicalism of Mr. Carter, who, luckily, if he is a personage
on a platform at Leeds, is not an influence in the present Par¬
liament, and is still less likely to be one in the next if, as is
predicted, it should have a great deal more of the leaven of
Conservatism in it.

SKETCHES OF ST. PETERSBURG.

Our Special Artist, Mr. John Proctor, w ho has been sent to *St.
Petersburg for the purpose of furnishing our Illustrations of
the marriage of the Duke of Edinburgh to the Grand Duchess
Marie, supplies a page of characteristic street-figures and rather
trivial incidents, belonging to ordinary domestic and social life
in that city. He has not, like the famous reporter of courtly
and aristocratic festivities who was formerly ridiculed by
Punch , become so elated with false pride, from his approach to
the splendid circle of supreme fashion, as to have no qye for
the vulgar realities of a crow'ded and busy town, wdth its mis¬
cellaneous population, chiefly composed of the poor and the
labouring classes. Our Artist, on the contrary, being a
humourist and man of tho world, has chosen to begin his t&ak,
whilst awaiting tho expected assemblage of Imperial and
Royal Princes, and the series of superb entertainments
at the Russian Court, wdth a few' truthful sketches
of St. Petersburg cockneydom in its low’er walks of
daily traffic and service. People are obliged to do
pretty much the same kind of things in every European capital;
buying, selling, and hiring, various arrangements for 4 eating
and drinking, lodging and sleeping, the functions of the police,
the use of carriages, aud the delivery of letters by the post,
must go on with but little substantial alteration in St. Peters¬
burg, as in London, Paris, Berlin, and Vienna. Costumes and
languages, the systems of coinage, weights, and measures, pre¬
sent an external difference in these transactions among the in¬
habitants of a foreign city; but tho wants of ordinary tow usfolk,
and the ways of supplying them, arc essentially those to which
we are accustomed at home. Tho first Russian city figure,
therefore, in Mr. ProcU^s galWy ..C_.su—
characters is our familiar acquaintance, celebrated in an old
comic ballad :

The dogs they barked, anil the cats they run.

At the IiiukIsoiho iusipivutiug Dogs' .Meat .Man !

We do not know the rule about keeping dogs at the metropolis
of Alexander IL's mighty empire ; hut there ia due provision
for cats, as we sec by Ine gratitude of that affectionate creature
rubbing her head against the purveyor’s legs. She is not
frightened by the terrible appearance of his broad-bladed knife,
which is like that with which they cut off human heads in
Ashantee, to please his Majesty King Coffee Calcally. Tho
usual rate of payment, we arc told, for the feeding of a cat is
one rouble, or 2a. Sd., a month. The next figure might lie taken
for tliat of a milkwoman, but it is a woman, selling eggs. Hie
head or bust-portrait, with these at the top of the page, is that
of a common workman. Beneath him is a sweep, or foreman
of a gang of sweeps, whose services have been very needful, w o
observe, in the thawed snow aud mud of the St. Petersburg
streets during the past week. The fifth subject, represented
just below that of the sweep, ia one of the street venders of a
cheap breakfast, consisting of eggs, boiled cabbage, bread, or
sausages, to be eaten oil the spot, like our baked potatoes and
early coffee in London, hot from the portable oven or cau. A
maidservant, who wears her summer dress, is next seen taking
in her mastor’s letters from the postman at thehousc door. Beside
this group is a haw ker of toys, with a few'of those Chinese count¬
ing-frames, set with parallel wires to support numbers of
movable coloured beads, which are sometimes used for teaching
arithmetic to children. At the bottom of the page is tho hackney
sledge, or sleigh, which in winter supersedes the ordinary kind
of hackney carriage. This vehicle is hired at the rate of a
rouble and a half for the first hour, and a rouble for each hour
after the first, which is rather more than London cab fare by
tune. The furred cloaks and caps, worn by driver and pas¬
senger, are quite necessary at this season of the year.

ROYAL INSTITUTION LECTURES.

ANIMAL LIFE AltD PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY.

Dr. P. Martin Duncan, F.R.S., Professor of Geology y.
College, London, on Thursday week gave the first of’
of six lectures on Paleontology, with especial
extinct animals and the physical geography of their l -

began by stating that considerable portions of the crust *
earth are composed of the remains of animals and idauu ^
relics of faunas and floras .which once flourished on the! ^
They are termed organic remains or fossils, and present n* '
able resemblances to the prcservable parts of the aiiiroS^'
plants of our own time—that is to say, m regard to the ay?
internal and external skeletons. This resemblance necc^Jy
the inclusion of fossil foitns amongst recfcnt kinds m . 1
natural history classification which is founded upon tCtfe
in the continuity of the laws of life. Tho Profes s <*7i
pointed out tliat although fossils so closely resemble iLS*
relics, they differ in their hardness and weight, which is/,
the original shell, bone, or coral haviug been replaced i
mineral substances, a process analogous to the subgtitufc 1 ■
one mineral for another, such as quartz for sulphide a f -"
Fossils found in strata which were the result* of
nudation of the land are the relics of tho particular
flora of a definite physical geography ; aud as strata iff*
aecutive, so there lias been a succession of aspects
and of life. This relation between deposits ur strati totf'

various examples, proving that geology is really the 2?
of successive physical geographies ; and he theu

on the earth and the grandest phenomena of inorganin
Two series of forces acted during the geological ages—iff 1
denudation, chielty by the action of water; and tho** produa.
movements of the crust, due to chemical action. As uirS
of the physical structure of the fossils 1 laving Ktr , LIJ ! ■

crystallised into marble by the action of hot lava, ;,R,i
the soft parts of mollusca and wood had beeu replacedbyailia
and he commented upon the conclusive evidence of fim* a
secutive stages of physical geography given by foi»ii ¥ found in iL
strata, composed of a succession of clay, sand, an&chilk, m r,
neighbourhood of London. Theforces which produced the interm'
movements of the crust of the earth, he said, initiated andott-
cluded geological ages, produced or terminated phy»t ^ { gec
phies, and limited the roaming powers of certain wiiniaij. ^
established distributional provinces. The nature oi these rut-
vineea, modem and ancient, was explained and illuhtntd l*

iu the physical geography of Nfew Zealand, Austral^ aini&LL
America. Among the animals specially commental on wore lit
ostrich, the little apteryx, and the gigantic fossil dinonib.
of New Zealand; the kangaroo and the large fowil mannptili
of Australia ; and the sloth and its ancient relatives, the
therium and inylodon, in South America: the chief part of ifo.
being represented in large diagrams.

ACOUSTIC TRANSPARENCY .ANI> OPACITY OF 'DIE

Professor Tyndall, at the first weekly evening mediae
thcr'Season, Friday, the 10th inst., gave a disconrro
on tlffc results of experiments and observations oa fi*
signals, conducted at the South Foreland in 185ft undir
the auspices of the Corporation of the Trinity Aos**, d
which he is the scientific adviser, and to whose flUcer-, Mr
Douglass, the engineer, Mr. Ayres,* Lis assistant, and Mr.
Edwards, the private secretary of the deputy' iivnteT,bc im¬
pressed great obligations. After mentioning th;$ m tba vw.

the Professor gave interesting details of the expt*npr/it5 KiScL
began on May 10, on lioard the Irene, the proper appArafi;.',
such as brass trumpets and air and steam whistles, having
been previously mounted on the top and at the bottom of the
South Forvliuul Cliff, under the direction of the Fog Sigiuil
Committee. The maximum distance at which sound tfw heard
was, on May 19, .‘U miles ; on May 20, at first, not muruvin .
3 or 4 miles—afterwards (i miles ; on June 2. 3 mita' range iu
up to about 6 miles ; on Jiuie 3, a dark and lowering day, rai;».

9 miles ; there were violent rain showers. June 10, ruigeo|f-
miles ; on tliis day there was an extraordinary siukiug u: tl*
sounds obser\ r ed ou the Dover side of the Foreland Auaw
distance they rapidly fell ; at 2 miles they were inaudible, uni
guns fired were also unheard at the same distance. After d-
mvestigation the Professor attributed this weakening G U"
sound, partly to what he termed the acoustic shadow ike &
the instruments being cut off by a projection of the dill
the station, and partly to the interference of the teoutui n-
fleeted from the cliff with the direct sound, in establish^-
fog-signal station such matters, ho said, must he anft
attended to. On June 25 the range of sound was 5.} xnilei,std
on June 20, 10 miles—the former with the wind in its tovir* f -
the latter with the wind againht it. This proved that tfcfH
must be something besides wind which determines 80 Utul-r»L>
On July 1. through a thick haze with opposing wind,
w’eiv.beard at 12.j ? miles, tw r ice the distance of Uie tnuia'w^" 1
on a clear day with favourable winds. On July 2, 1W^/
Tyndall said, an acoustic darkness, as it were, settled
atmosphere, the range being only 4 miles. Tho H uctuatmnti-'
had been from IU to 12; miles, without any '
meteorological cause. On July 3, a glurions mow® 1
with calm, air and smooth sea, nothing was heard at 21»^ |
distance ; the putts of tho guns were seen as in ^
show. This led the Professor to conclude that ilit*crsi&-
belief that a clear, calm atmosphere is uie **
vehicle or sound, and that optical and acoustic trau»fflg
go together, as published by Dr. Derham iu the
Ttmtoctien# for 170S, aud generally received by scientific ■**
ever since, is quite erroneous. After deep ri llcctiou, ^ p .
led to conjecture the true cause of this stoppage of thet*’ 1 j
mission of the sound. A* ho stood on th. deck of thclKJf
considering what could m. destroy the
atmosphere as to enable it lo quench in so short a liifttaiA i
v'ast a body of sound, he became conscious of the great !
the sun. Beams of equal power Were falling on ths^MiF
ducing copious evaporation. That the vapour generated 5 * 11 *'
so rise and miugh: with the air as to form an absolutely ^
geneous mixture he considered highly improbable. It w(, ^i
sure to streak and mottle the atniosphci'e vrith
tho air would be in different degrees Saturated, or it
displaced by the vapour. At the limiting surfaces of ^
spaces, though invisible, the Professor saw that w , c s!u>u)“*V
the conditions necessary to the production of partial ecb^
tlio consequent waste of sound. This explanation ^
and confirmed on the same day. By the iu terventii'n

sounds was increased. As the sun fell and the formation
ceased, the sounds were heard—eventually at 7* miW

geneous common air strougly agitated the sensitive flame
employed as a test; but when, by an ingenious arrangement,
alternate layers of coal-gas and carbonic acid were allowed to
cross the tul>c at right angles to the direction of the sound*
wove, the sound was reflected by the limiting surfaces of this
non-homogeneous medium, and the flame became quiescent.
Tiiis reflection of sound is analogous to that of light in foam,
clouds, snowballs, common salt, and to all transparent sub¬
stances in powder. In the concluding portion of his discourse
Professor Tyndall stated that, by receut experiments on the
Serpentine during foggy and clear days, he had conclusively
proved that the non-homogeucity of the air was the entire
cause of the stoppage of the transmission of sound, quite irre¬
spective of fog, haze, ram, or other supposed causes. Among
tho apparatus employed in the coast experiments was a very
large syren, willingly lent by the Government of the United
States. The secretary, Mr. William Spotfciawoode, LL.D.,
Vice-President, was in the chair.

KANT’S PHILOSOPHY AND LIFE.

Professor G. Groom Robertson, of University College,
London, gave the first of a course of four lectures on Kant’s
Critical Philosophy on Saturday last. Hu began by pointiug out
Kant’s importance in the present day in Germany among men
of science aud philosophers, from Johannes Muller to Helmholtz,
who, although not his professed followers, recognise him as one
whose thought could grasp the principles of scientific inquiry,
and even forecast some of its issues. In France a modified form
of his doctrine was adopted by Cousin, and even Comte has
not been insensible to his power. In England, also, the
interest in Kant is a striking feature of the present philosophical
movement. Nitscli (1704) and Wirgman (1S13-23) in vain set
forth the new system; but gradually Hamilton, Mansel,
Whcwell, and others have familiarised the English mind with
the main principles of the system. Kant’s chief work, the
“ Krifcik of Pure Reason,” and the greater part of his ethical
writings have been translated; and workers in Trinity College,
Dublin, have expounded his doctrine in a coherent form.
Kant was a thinker of unsurpassed reach and powei ; but he
strongly vindicate l for tho positive sciences a domain of
their own. In this he was anticipated by Bacon, Locke,
Berkeley, and Hume, who spurred on positive inquiry on the
basis of experience. But by the side of these were thinkers
of a different cast, such as Descartes and Leibnitz, whose phi¬
losophy was no sober inquiry into tho condition of human
knowledge, joinod to the practice of experimental re¬
search. but a succession of bold attempts to reason
out the All. According to them, there was nothing to
be known that could not be rationally evolved from within
the mind. . . . But now'philosophy has reverted to its
original and proper function of carrying disinterested inquiry
to the uttermost jof human conceiving.. The natural sciences
have grown up.as a legitimate and fruitful system of search
into the different aspects or departments of nature, proceeding
upon experience, and having no higher object than to explain
and control it. This was what Descartes and his fellows did
not see or would not allow ; but Kant understood it, and is
thus distinguished from the school of mere speculative meta¬
physicians. He made no pretence of stemming the resistless
tide of scientific research, but rather desired to guide it into
r/teotfivd channels. Yet he opposed the English thinkers when
they sought to explain all knowledge as developed from par¬
ticular experiences, and he made it a great part of. his philo¬
sophic task to explain from the native constitution of the

MUSIC.

The resumption of the Crystal Palace Saturday afternoon con¬
certs and of the Monday Popular Concerts last week, may be
looked on as the first important signs of the musical activity
which speedily follows the brief lull of the Christmas holidays.
The event last referred-to has already been noticed, and wo
have now’ to speak of the twelfth of those concerts, which,
when completed, will form the eighteenth scries of the excellent
Sydenham performances.

Last Saturday’s Crystal Palace Concert included some
orchestral pieces of special interest, two of them having been
novelties in this country. To speak of the latter first, Mr.

Hugo Pierson’s concert-overture, eutitled “ As \ ou Like it,
is one of several such "works composed in illustration of some
of Shakspeare’s plays. The piece now referred to contains sorno
very effective orchestral writing, aud many of the themes arc
ehaVaefcerised by much grace aud boauty. There is, however, a
want of order ami design in their arrangement, with a general
vagueness of structure, that somewhat militate against tho effect
ofthc whole as a composition. Nevertheless, it was acceptable
as a specimen of tlie productions of an Englishman who was
highly esteomed in Germany, where he hail resided for many
years np to the time of liis death, at Leipsic, twelve months
aro. With tho exception of his oratorio, “Jerusalem,” and
portions of that entitled “Hczekiah ” (both produced at Nor¬
wich Festivals),but little is known here of the late Mr. Pierson s
music, further selections from which might hereafter justifiably
be introduced in our concert programmes. A second novelty
at .Saturday’s concert was a charming little orchestral piece
from Tauberfc’s musib to the German version of “The Tempest,
in which the ohessplaying scene of the lovers* is converted into
a music lesson on the lute. The movement referred to is en¬
titled “Liebcsliedchcn,” and is’in the style of a serenade.
The stringed instruments are used “ pizzicato,” tho principal
theme (the “ Love Song”) recurring as an oboe solo, in Which
M. DubrucqViino tone and style were admirably displayed.
The gentle grace and charm of the piece were generally reeog- I
nised. and the encore which it received was replied to by a
repetition of the latter portion. Splendid performances of
Schubert’s great symphony in C (No. 9), Mozart s overture
to “ Le Nozze di Figaro,” and Mendelssohn’s to “Die Hoohzeit
des, Camacho.” completed the instrumental portion of the
concert, which included vocal solos by Madame Patey, Miss
Anna Williams, ahd .Signor Agnesi. Mias Williams gamed the
prize in one of the classes for solo singing at the Crystal Palace
National Music Meetings in 1872; since when she has been
studying in Italy—to good purpose, as evidenced by her ren¬
dering of Pacini’s cavatina, “ Ah ! con lui,” aud Handel s air
“ From mighty kings,” in both of which the singer was much
applauded. Mr. Manns was warmly welcomed, as usual, on
his reappearance in the orchestra.

At last Monday’s Popular Concert Dr. Hans von Billow was
again tho piani 3 t—his solo performances on this occasion haying
been Bach’s organ prelude and fugue in A minor (transcribed by
Liszt) and the first of Mendelssohn’s six preludes and fugues,
op. 35, his performance of which elicited great applause and
three recalls of the player. The programme included Moliqne a
pianoforte trio in B flat, in which Dr. Billow was -asso¬
ciated with Madame Norman-Neruda and Signor Piatfci, and
Beethoven’s sonata for piano and violin in G (from op. 30), the
latter instrument in the hands of the lady just named, who was
the leading violinist in Schubert’s quartet in A minor ,* the
other executants having been Mr. L. Ries, Herr Straus, and
Miss Enriquez was the vocalist, and Sir Julius

thought may now be looked upon as a long struggle waged Madame Norman-Neruda, as leading violinist, aud Mr. Charles

Experience. Kant could not entirely accept the speculative
doctrine of innate ideas, ousting experience anil making it
superfluous, nor could he accept tho position of the English expe¬
rimentalists, working without system awl without discernment
of the true issues to be met. Hence h s new manner.of inquiry,
named Critical, iuto the foundations of human kuowtedgejias
been regarded as the reconciliation of all the differences. But
tho struggle still continues, and the dominant experimcntalism,
even as transformed by Mr. Herbert Spencer, has come face to face,
at all points, with Kant’s doctrine, and has stood the encounter,
but.said Professor Robertson, has not secured its future. There¬
fore Kant is now specially important. Tho latter part of the
lecture was chiefly devoted to a sketch of Kant’s life and cha¬
racteristics, and tho development of his philosophical opinions.
Ho was born at Kdnigsburg in 1724, being the grandson of a
Scotch tradesman named Bant. He was educated for the
Church, but declined to take orders, and devoted himself to tho
study of philosophy. He became a house-tutor. Jived long in
modest poverty, and only became a professor in 175& He pub¬
lished his “Kritik of Pure Reason” m 17S1 ; and, after pub¬
lishing invaluable speculations in almost every department of
knowledge, lie ccaRed to lecture, at the age of seventy-three.
Still making calls on his brain he aged rapidly, sank into utter
helplessness, and died in 1804. To his intellectual powers he
added singular nobility of character, and in all tho affairs of
life ho displayed an unswerving Tectitudc and manly inde¬
pendence.

MECHANISM OF RESPIRATION.

Professor Rutherford’s second lecture, on Tuesday last, was
devoted to the explanation of the muscular and nervous
mechanism concerned in respiration. With the aid of prepara¬
tions, diagrams* and models, he showed that our ordinary
inspiration is entirely due to muscular action ; while an ordi¬
nary expiration is apparently the result of the elastic recoil of
the lungs, ribs, anil costal cartilages, and also of the weight of
the chest. He explained the dispute regarding the action of
the portions of the internal intercostal rnnscles between the
bony parts of the ribs ; some physiologists believing that it
produces expiration, others that, it causes inspiration. With
the aid of elastic bands and the ribs rightly placed in the
thorax of an animal, the Professor demonstrated that, as
Haih-r long ago maintained, these muscles draw up the ribs,
when the ribs above are more fixed (as they normally are) than
those below. The phrenic, intercostal, and piieumo-gastric
nerves were then described, and the manner iu which they act
explained ; and an instrument for registering the motions of
the chest'was shown in aotiou.

Sir Julius Benedict will give a discourse on Weber and Ilia
Times at the next Friday evening meeting, Jan. 30.

The Right Rev. Dr. Keane, Roman Catholic Bishop of
Cloyne, died, on Thursday week, at his residence at Queenstown.
He had been suffering some time from paralytic seizure, con¬
sequent on overwork.

Early on Sunday morning a lamentable wreck occurred on

the sou’h west shore of .St. Mary's, the largest of the ScilJy
Jjdes. The captain and eight of the twenty hands on board the
Minnehaha were drowned, as was also the pilot, ten men only
getting safely ashore.

Halit 5 ' as pianist, reappeared; and tho same artists
announced for the concert of thi9 (Saturday) afternoon.

The British Orchestral Society began its second season,
at St ,/ames’s Hail, on Thursday evening, when the programme
comprised Beethoven’s “Eroica” symphony; Sir W r . S.
Bennett’s overture, “ Les Naiades, and that to Cherubini’s
“Les Deux Jouraces a new “ saltarello ” for orchestra, by
Mr. J. II. Clarke ; Mozart’s concerto in E fiat for two piano¬
fortes (Mr. W. Macfarren and Miss Linda Scates the pianists);
and vocal pieces.

Tho seventh subscription concert of the Royal Albert Hall
Choral Society took place on Thursday evening, with a pro¬
gramme of high interest, although devoid of novelty—
Mendelssohn’s “ Hymn of Praise” (“ Lobgesang”) and Rossini’s
“ Stabat Mater” having been the works selected. The solo-
singers announced were Madame Corani, Miss Sterling, Mr.
Cummings, and Signor Agnesi.

Two performances of high interest took place simultaneously
last (Friday) evening, of which, as of Thursday night’s con¬
certs, we must necessarily defer our notice until next week.
At Exeter Hall, 1 >r. Crotch’s oratorio, “ Palestine,” was revived,
after having been unheard for many years. At the same time,
at St. James’s HaT, the third of the Bccond Beries of tho
concerts of the Wagner Society was given, with a pr«v r >\mirmj
including (for the first time at these concerts) choral extracts
from Wagner’s operas.

The success which attended the production of Mr. G. A.
Macfarren’s “St. John the Baptist,” at the recent Bristol
Festival, was recorded at the time. The oratorio waa to be
produced—again under the direction of Mr. Charles Halle— at
Manchester on Thursday last. As previously mentioned, the
work is to be given by tho Sacred Harmonic Society during its
present season.

THEATRES.

Early os it is in the theatrical season, and before the pan¬
tomimes can have been all visited, the various managements
show themselves vigilant in the preparation of further novelties.
We have at the Gaiety the oddest of burlesques, by H. J.
Byron, on “Guy Fawkes and at the Royalty an adaptation
of Mrs. Ed wardes’s novel, “Ought We to Visit Her?* Mrs.
Edwardes, with the aid of Mr. W. ,S. Gilbert, has dramatised
her own romance. Unfortunately, it is one of those equivocal
productions which now too frequently appear, and of which
so much has been naid in censure. Curiously enough, on
Saturday, when “Ought We to Visit Her?” was produced,
the moral points were taken up by the gallery, quid con¬
demned. .Society is not yet corrupt at its roots. Tho
classes that lie at its base have not jet made those nice dis¬
tinctions by which the superior orders have grown accustomed
to ptdliato their guilty sentimentalities. They are rough but
honest, and as yet their conscience is single-eyed, and has not
learned to trifle with duty. They have stern, earnest work to
do, and no leisure for refinements which enfeeble while they
lend factitious graces to the comj>aratively indolent. . Mr. ami
Mrs. Frank ThebtniM '[MV/Pevcril and Miss Heiirffe'Hmtsonr
represent the sentimentalists of Che time, who. weary of con¬
vention,; hover on the brink of the opposite,-and-are hi danger
of the precipice which it too frequently conceals. The lady has
been formerly a ballet-dancer, and has yet a sister on the stage

and an uncle’in the orchestra. Tlie family.of: the Crosbies

belonging to the class, of country gentry, naturally think that
they ought not to associate with such people, but prefer the
society of princes and countesses — a truly snobbish feel¬
ing ; and, being at a foreign hotel, as nafcurail .y look out for
such privileged parties. They mistake the Theobalds tor
aristocratic people, and particularly Mrs Theobald and her
little one for a Russian Countess aud her child. Discovering
their error, they alter their behaviour, and are made to act
very contemptibly. But Rawdon Crosbic, the son (Mr.Charles
Wyndham), takes a different view, and gets up a flirtation with
Mrs. Theobald, to which she lends herself. Her h us I Kim 1, too,
pairs off with a certain Lady Rose Gohghtly (Miss Maggie
Brennan): and we begin to fear that a grievous scandal will
ensue. But just as these improprietys are about to culminate
iu sin a change in the dream takes place, and all parties resumo
their normal social positions. The success of the piece may
be fairly ascribed to the excellent acting and the costly scenery.

Of Mr. Byron’s extravaganza the success is mainly depen¬
dent on Mr. Toole's eccentric acting. He is, of course, Guy
Faux, and such a guy as was never paralleled on any tifLli of
November. The author has revelled in fun and pun, and cari¬
catured history in the most ridiculous manner. All this, with
the aid of some sterling jokes, many excellent dances, and sorne
capital songs, enforce a favourable verdict. Mr. burnt?! Brough,
too, as a rebel collier, and Miss Farron, as Lord Monteaglc,
conduce greatly to the particular eflect oF the scenes m which
they appear. Altogether, this is the merriest drama of the
class to w'hich it belongs which Mr. Byron has written.

On Wednesday night Lord Lytton’s “Richelieu, which
derives new life from tlie excellent acting of Mr. Henry Irving,
was performed for the hundredth time at the Lyceum.

LADY BURDETT-COUTTS AT EDINBURGH.

The Lord Provost and Town Council of Edinburgh presented
this charitable lady with tho freedom of their city on
I Thursday week. The ceremony took place in the Musio-
TTill, which was decorated for the occasion with hangings of
red cloth, a range of greenhouse plants, the up ion jack at each
end, and q, trophy of flags above the portrait of her great¬
grandfather, a Coutts who was Lord Provost of Edinburgh in
1742. This portrait was copied from one by Allan Ramsay,
and was given to the city by her Ladyship. A numerous com¬
pany of ladies and gentlemen filled tlie Music-Hall. Several
pieces were played on the organ by Professor Oakeiey, while
awaiting the commencement of the proceedings. The Town
Council, in their official robes, sat at the back of the platform.
The Lord Provost, preceded by his mace-beavcr and sword-
bearer, Jed in Lady Burdett-Coutts, wdio was welcomed with
hearty cheering. 8he wore the badge and other decorations of
the Turners’ Company of London. The Lord Provost took the
chair, having ou his right hand Lady Burdett-Coutts, and
beyond her Mrs. Brown, the Duke of Buccleucli, the Countess
of Rothes, the Hon. Waldcgrave U»slie, Mr. Alexander
Sinclair, Mrs. W. Chambers, Dr. William Chambers, and
Bailie Methven. Ou the left hand of the Provost were the
Right Hon. Dr. Lyon Playfair, Postmaster-General ; Mr.
Harris, interim Town Clerk ; Bailies Cousin and Tawse, Dean
of Guild Craig, Treasurer Colston, Convener Robertson, and
Councillor Falshaw. The Duke of Argyll had intended to be
present, but was prevented by iudispositum. The proceedings
were simply conducted in the culinary form. Tho Lord
Provost first addressed the company, reminding-them of former
occasions upon which tlie honours of the city had been con-
f^rrqd, upon famous persons—Ben Jonahu, when he visited
Drummond at Hawthorndcn ; more recently, Sir Walter
Scott, Mr. Disraeli, Mr. Bright, Sir James Simpson, Lord
Napier of Magdala, Charles Dickens, Lord Macaulay, Dr.
Livingstone, and the artist, David Roberts. He observed that
the same compliment was bestowed on Mr. Thomas Coutts,
the London banker, her Ladyship * grandfather, in 1813 ; and
ho described her own claim* to public esteem, commeuding
her exemplary beneficence and zenl for tho relief of jittrinifti
suffering; while her efforts to prevent cruelty to dumb
animals Were likewise not forgotten. The Town Clerk
read the burgess ticket, with the minutes of the .Town
Council voting her the freedom of the city. 'I’liis was pre¬
sented to her Ladyship by the Lord Provost with some further
appropriate observations. Lady Burdett-Coutts made a
graceful, modest, and decided little speech in reply, expressing
her sincere thanks. The Lord Provost then called upon the
whole company to stand up and to give “ three cheers for tin-
youngest burgess of Edinburgh.” After tho performance of
two more anthems on the organ the meeting separated. In the
evening the Lord Provost, magistrates, and town council i. i <
were entertained by Lady Burdett-Coutts with a banquet at the
Palace Hotel.

GREAT FIRE AT LEITH.

A fire broke out, in the evening of yesterday week, in the
extensive flour-mills ut Leith belonging to Messrs. Aloxandcr
and Robert Tod. Tlie flames raged with intense fury, ami
shortly after midnight the extensive range of buildings was
completely destroyed. The damage is estimated at, from
£200,000 to £250,000. The greater part of it is covered by
insurance. In consequence of the destruction of the mills
nearly 40(1 men have been thrown out of work. A sketch of
the scene presented by the conflagration is reproduced iu out*

Warwick was, on Monday, enlivened by a foxchase, Reynard
leading the pack through the streets of the venerable city.

The annual meeting and annual dinner of the Plymouth
Chamber of Commerce were held on Monday—under the pre¬
sidency of the Earl of Morley. The proceedings abounded
with congratulations at the increasing prosperity of the port,
especially at the return of the Cape mail ..teamora to Plymouth.
Mr. W. Morrison, M. P., urged the formation of a commercial
insurance association in connection with chambers of commerce
for the protection and prosecution of offenders, especially of
fraudulent bankrupts.

A new Atlantic cable is to be completed during the year,
with appliances which are tho results of experiments made by
Mr. Highton, the eminent electrician, on whom the Society of
Arts has conferred a special medal for discoveries in telegraphy.
The use of light cables for submarine telegraphs has been advo¬
cated by Mr. Varley and other great authorities in scientific
circles ; and tho new cable will weigh only 1 £ cwt. per nautical
mile in water, will sustain twentymilea of its own length, and will
be covered only with prepared manilla, which (unlike iron wire
and hemp) is practically indestructible in salt water. The electric
current will be so concentrated at th-.* point of indication by tho
usiTof magncii c'baUeriea that distinct rapid and powerful signals
can be obtained by one tenth of the electric force now in use, while
theimfnenne saving in construction, laying, and maintenance
will reduce the price of Atlantic messages to one fourth of
present rates.

THE REREDOS AT
EXETER.

Reports have lately ap¬
peared of the litigation be¬
tween the Dean and Chapter
of Exeter Cathedral, on the
one hand, and the Bishop
of Exeter on the other,
upon the legality and pro¬
priety of their erection of a
new reredos, designed by
Sir Gilbert Scott, the
architect of the cathedral
restorations. Our Illustra¬
tion shows the design of
this work of art, w'hich has
been executed by Messrs.
Farmer and Brindley,
sculptors, of Westminster
Bridge-road, London. The
expense is borne by two
individual donors—namely,
Dr. Blackall and the Rev.

C hancellor Harington, who
has already given £6000 to
the cathedral restorations.
The summit of the reredos
rises to a height of 22 ft.
above the floor of the choir,
the materials used in its
construction' consisting of
marble and Derbyshire
alabaster, with precious
stones. The central com¬
partment is occupied by
a sculptured group in
alabaster representing the
Ascension, the figure of the
Saviour being ft. in
height. The figure of St.
Deter, to whom the cathe¬
dral is dedicated, lias a
prominent position ; on
each side of the Saviour
appear angels. The Trans¬
figuration and the Descent
of the Holy Spirit on the
Day of Pentecost arc also
represented. The reredos
occupies about a third of the
space at the east end of the
choir. The central com¬
partment alone cost £900,
and the estimate of £1625
for the whole work will be
considerably exceeded. The
restoration of the edifice is
progressing satisfactorily,
the cost, independent of
the reredos and other
special works, being set

REGATTA AT
VIGO.

During the stay of the
Channel Squadron at Vigo,
on the last day of the old
year and the first three
days of the new, its officers
and crews had their cus¬
tomary regatta, which has
become a favourite institu¬
tion of the fleet. The first
day was occupied by the
rowing-matches, the second
by the sailing-matches, and
the third day was appointed
for the general sailing com¬
petition for a prize cup
given by Rear Admiral
Hornby. The money sub¬
scribed and expended for
prizes was nearly £100. All
the arrangements were
planned and carried out by
an able and zealous com¬
mittee ; but the great sail¬
ing-race of tho third day,
Friday, the 2nd inst.,
proved a nullity from the
wind falling off in the after¬
noon, so that it had to be
resumed on the next day.
Forty-five boats of all sizes,
from the dingey with its
boys to the launch with its
crew of experienced sailors,
engaged in the competition.
The weather was fine on
the first day, and the start,
at ten o'clock in the morn¬
ing, wa3 favoured by a
gentle breeze. The courso
was twelve miles, with a
time allowance for differ¬
ence of size and rig. Un¬
fortunately, as we havo
observed, the wind failed
towards evening, and tho
race was necessarily given
up. On the Saturday morn¬
ing thero was a little more
wind, but less sunshine,
and even some rain. The
boats again started well for
the race, but another mis¬
chance prevented its being
concluded. Tho Rear-
Ad miral's barge, sailed by
Flag-Lieutenant Bunce, was
capsized by a sudden puff
of wind, at the time w hen
it seemed to be sure of
winning. The men in this
boat escaped with a duck¬
ing, but it was provided by
the rules that, in case of
any boat capsizing, the race
should be stopped. The con¬
test was, therefore, left un¬
decided, and as one ship of
the squadron, her Majesty’s
ship Triumph, had to leave
Vigo for Gibraltar that
afternoon, it was agreed to
postpone the final race till
she rejoined her consorts.
We have to thank Mr.

G. H. Weekcs, engineer of

H. M.S. Agincourt, for a
sketch of the regatta.

NEW BOOKS.

AMONG TUE MUSES.

A mournful, wailing note, to which aU sympathetic hearts will
respond, is struck in what it has seemed good to call the
O v erture to The Disciple*, hy Harriet Eleanor Hamilton
* vin £ (Henry S. King and Co.); for a tribute of verse inspired
by and intended for Mazzini never reached his living presence :
before the hook, “ which he commanded,” could he placed in
his hand or laid at his feet, his spirit had fled to the place re¬
served for all that is immortal of illustrious patriots. He,
then, is the master whose disciples are made, in the volume
under consideration, the themes of sad, for the most part, bnt
in some respects joyous and triumphant song. Jacopo Kuffini,
Ugo Bassi, Agesilao Milano, and Baron Giovanni Nicetera are
the names of the disciples; and the horn? to which the singer’s
memory chiefly recurs is that proverbially darkest just pre¬
ceding the dawn—the dawn of liberty for Italy and the
Italians. The dates referred to are 1833, 1S49, 1856, and 1858,
together with some intervening and some subsequent years. The
principal characteristics of the writer’s muse are intense, passion¬
ate feeling and generous instincts, regarding self-sacrifice as the
noblest heroism and scorning to give up hope, even when the
sacrifice of self is seemingly most hopeless. To properly
appreciate the poems a reader must catch something of the
writer’s own enthusiasm—must become for a while Italianised.
Of the external graces, pictorial beauties, attractions which
belong to what may be described as the spectacular and
instrumental effects of poetry, when, by the magic of poetic
power and the cunning manipulation of language, a reader sees
and hears, as it were, upon the very page before him, the love¬
liness or the awfulness of Nature and her scenery, the clash of
steel, the thunder of artillery, the shock of armies, the strains
of martial music, a burst of triumphant or plaintive melody,
and the like, the writer has apparently not been especially
ambitious. There are in the longest poem, dedicated 4 to the
memory of Ugo Bassi, passages in which fancy and dic¬
tion have been employed, not unsuccessfully, in the
fashion alluded to ; but, on the whole, one would say that the
-writer was too much overwhelmed by the emotional to bestow
much pains upon the picturesque, too much lost in con¬
templation of painful fact.to dwell-long amidst the airy regions
of pleasant fancy, too much oppressed with a sonse of the dire¬
ful to waste much time upon the tuneful. Let it not b<
imagined, however, that any special fault, in respect of versifi
cation, is to be inferred ; the smaller poems are noticeable for a
bold, free swing, and have a sufficiently melodious rhythm ;
and the longest poem, though somewhat monotonous and, by
reason of detail, tedious, is by no means devoid of harmonious
numbers: all that is intended is to give readers duo warning
that the book requires of them more heart than ear, more soul
to be moved than senses to be gratified. It is sad to know
that the writer’s state of health has caused ont* poem anti the
contemplated series of poems to be left incomplete.

kisses from pretty shepherdesses, and anon complaining that,
though Celia can find a heart of pity for Cupid, who wounds
her deeply, she has none for the faithful swain who would lay¬
down his life for her sake. A good, honest, old-fashioned,
cheery song in honour of the plough, too, has an invigorating
effect; and many pretty conceits, quite in the ancient style,
concerning Love and the behaviour he adopts towards rustics of
both sexes, smack of a much-regretted past. Moreover, the
writer is perfectly intelligible, which is more than can be said
of many a highly-esteemed modem poet.

Italy and her yearnings and her struggles, whilst her
liberation and unification still fell short of fulfilment for lack
of the city resting, qttcenlike, on her seven hills, have likewise
furnished the main subject of Rome or Death! by Alfred
Austin (William Blackwood and Sons), a poem in which the
treatment shows that the greatest possible attention has been
paid to just those very points which seem to have been least
regarded by the author of 44 The Disciples. ” The romantic
predominates over the real, the pictorial over the emotional,
the material over the spiritual, the heroism of the beau sabre ur
over the heroism of the gentle martyr, the Irnty lay over the
plaintive dirge. Moreover, in choice and manijiulation of
metre and in studious arrangement of iliction the author has
clearly shown a disposition to leave nothing undone, as regards
a musical variety of sound, whereby the reader may be lured
and caught as the »Siren was fabled to catch the" mariner. And
in this respect his success is likely to be considerable, even if ex-
ceptionshould nowand tben be taken to the occasional clumsiness
of the very fashionable but not always acceptable compound
epithet. The poem commences with great spirit, which is well
sustained throughout; aud though the stanzas may appear to
many readers to lack a little of that grace and subtle influence
which pervaded the whole of “Madonna's Child,” yet it is
probable that the somewhat liiglier flight now attempted and the
somewhat robuster nature of the theme will amply compensate
for the smaller measure of those characteristics. In 44 Rome or
Heath !” are introduced personages whose first appearance upon
any poetical stage is made in “Madonna’s Child ;” and, there¬
fore, to properly appreciate the former it will be advisable, if
not absolutely necessary, to previously take the pleasure, as it
certainly cannot fail to be, of becoming acquainted with the
latter, That “Rome or Death!” in which the campaign of
Montana is vigorously described, is a fine, stirring composition
may be confidently asserted ; and, for that very reason, it may
be considered the more justifiable to ask a few mild questions
suggested by the very first three stanzas. One: Can “rhymes”
be correctly said to “resound” with “fire”? Two: If you write,

“ Muse! help me weak—who helped the strong of yore,” do you
not commit a little grammatical error, which, presumptonsly,
transfers to yourself the power intended to be ascribed to the
Muse? Three: If you write, “Smile upon me, that erst upon
them smiled,” ought you not to mean that you smiled upon
them, or else to plead guilty of a blunder ? These and others
like them are small blemishes, hut an admirable poem would have
been still more admirable -without them. Rhyme and rhythm,
however, arc probably too exacting.

Pretty, dainty, elegant, and airy, but healthy, bright, lively,
and a little saucy, such as Catullus might have w ritten in his
more refined moods and Lesbia might have read to a sprightly,
modest sister, are some of the veraiclcs contained in VigneUes in
Rhyme, by Austin Dobson (Henry 8. King and Co.); whilst
others, quite as neat und delicate, are of the pensive, melan¬
choly sort, or, tinged with a suspicion of satire, call to
mind the flavour of bitter almonds. Trifles as such productions
seem, and easily as they are supposed to have slipped from
the pen, the writing of them is a gift—a gift which, it has often
been said, is dying out from among tis ; but that it is not yet
dead and gone beyond recall is quite evident from the pleasant
little volume hereby recommended to notice, it is by no means
the sort of hook one would expect to be looked upon with a
favoursnla eye by ladies and gentlemen of uncompromisingly
practical view’s, by intellectual star-gazers, by metaphysicians
and persons concerned about nothing more or less than the
eternal fitness of tilings ; but by those who do not care to
have their minds always on the stretch. who like to see Apollo
with his bow unbent entertaining the simple Graces and the

sportive Nymphs, who love to mingle the gay with the grave
and the playful with the tender, who own that little things

may have tluir own iuherent grace, the volume will be received,
and deservedly received, with a welcome.

A very grateful sensation, as of haviug been removed from
the hothonso, in which so much modern verse is apparently
forced, into the open air, is produced by a few pages of
The Shepherd's Durden, by William Davies (Sampson Low and
Co.). It is quite refreshing to find oneself in Arcadia again,
among shepherds piping merrily on oaten reeds and stealing

MUSICAL PUBLICATIONS.

Messrs. Boosey and Co. have brought out two volumes that
will be widely acceptable to the admirers of classical vocal
music. One is a selection of between seventy and eighty of the
songs of Robert Schumann, the other a collection of Sacred
Songs, Ancient and Modem. Schumann a charming “lieder”
are given with the original German words and an English
adaptation hy M. X. Hayes. The book of sacred pieces con¬
tains specimens from the classical composers of the past, many
others being contributed by living celebrities, some having
been supplied expressly for this publication. Both volumes are
in that handy large octavo form adopted by Messrs. Boosey
and Co. in their Royal Edition of operas and their col¬
lections of national songs, aud the price is fixed at a similarly
low rate.

Messrs. Boosey and Co. have also issued, in the same con¬
venient octavo size, a neat and inexpensive edition of M.
Charles Lecocq’s popular comic opera, “La Pile de Madame
Angot,” with the original text, and an English adaptation by
Mr. H. J. Byron. From the same publishers we have also the

new songs of Mr. P. IL Co wen, “Night and Morning” and
“ One Morning, oh ! so early,” recently sung with such success
by Miss Wynne, as already recorded.

The first and second divisions of Bach’s “ Christmas
Oratorio” have been published by tho house of- Lamborn
Cock in a neat and cheap large octavo edition, with an English
text translated and adapted by Helen F. J ohnston, who rendered
the same office for Bach’s St. Matthew “ Passion Music ” in

its first performance in this country by the London Bach Society.
The portions of the “ Christmas Oratorio ” here given are all

that refer to the celebration of that period, the four following
parts having reference to subsequent Church festivals. Of the
sublimity and beauty of the music we spoke in noticing its per¬
formance at a concert of the Royal Albert Hall Choral Society
last month.

From Alcssrs. Ashdown and Parry we have some contribu¬
tions to pianoforte music by a composer whose works are always
interesting and welcome, multitudinous as they are. In Holler’s
new series (the third) of pieces entitled “Dans les Hois ” we
find six movements as full of charm and variety :ls tho*o of the
two previous collections. In these new pieces some fanciful
allusion to “ Der Freiscliiitz ” w ould seem to be intended by
the prefix of the names of characters thereof—Max, Agatlie
Caspar, Annette—but no evident musical quotations aro°giveii
from Weber’s opera. The grace and charm of Herr If idler’s
new-work are especially remarkable, as it is classed as op. 13fi,

galop, “The Jubilee,” by the former, and oue,
the latter, are effective dance-pieces.

Messrs. Hammond and Co. have also issued two v en r ms.
ful pianoforte pieces— 4 / Treuo Liebe ” and “ Stifle Lieh^u'.

Gustave Lange. Each is somewhat in tho notlurno style

graceful elaborations and ornamental passages hurrouiui^. 1 !^

F. Bondel (same publishers), will be welcome to

is supplied.

From the house of Joseph Williams wc have several ȣ
forte pieces, among which are, by Mr. Harold Thomas, -

phrase of detached themes from Mendel-sohnV “ JJy J?* 1 ’
Praise,” effective fantasias on subjects from Donizetti^ ^
di Lammermoor,” and Rossini’s “Mos4.” Mr.

“Novara,” “Rochelle,” “Italian arietta” (“Non mi V r/|.*
Mari tar ”), and his transcription of the ballads “Slit- wor
wreath of roses ” and “ Sweet Home,” will be found very v 1
ful as w r ell as pleasing to young pupils.

From Messrs. Augener wo have also a 44 Pilgrim’s March ”
by Mr. Scotson Clark, which has been so well received M L
cause its publication in the various forms of piauo solo nmi
duet, for harmonium and piano, and for organ. The same imh’
lishers have also issued three very pleasing songs by .Mr j /
Hatton, entitled, respectively, 44 Hope,” 44 Fancy,” tlie 44 Smw
Flakes.” A limited compass of voice and inodomtc p 0 we M of
execution, will suffice for all these songs, expression Hri nr the
chief requisite for their interpretation.

proof being hereby given that product! vcuchs by no Paeans
necessarily implies exhaustion.

Messrs. R. Cocks and Co. have issued Mr. Brinley Richards’s
popular national song, “Let tho Hills Resound,” in various
forms an«l editions—among others, in a cheap octavo, as a four-
part song; as a vocal solo, with pianoforto accompaniment;
and also as a solo for that Lnstrumout, nrraneed V>y the com¬
poser. The same firm has recently published some agreeable
vocal pieces. Mr. A. S. Catty’s song, “The Open Window”
(words by Longfellow), will suit mezzo-soprano voices of mode¬
rate range, as will, also, the soug entitled 44 My old Mate aud
Mo,” by’ the lady formerly known as Miss M. Lindsay ;
“Shadowland,” by Signor Giro Pinsuti; and Mr. Wright oil’s
song, “ Be happy and never despair.”

We are always glad to receive fresh productions from that
graceful composer, Mr. T. M. Mudie, whose pleasing new
pianoforte pieces, “A Maiden’s Dream,” and “Musing, a
Reverie ” (published by Messrs. J. B. Cramer and C-o.), will bo
very acceptable to teachers and pupils. The same publishers
have also issued a transcription for the pianoforte, by Mr.
Berthold Tours, of the popular air, “C’est L’Espagne,” from
Offenbach’s 44 Lcs Bavards,” which is very effectively treated,
without presenting any great difficulty to the executant. The
name of the amateur composer, the Countess of Charlemont,
a^ain appears to a song issued by Messrs. Cramer, entitled
44 Up-hilJ,” the melody of which is capable of being made the
vehicle of much plaintive expression. The consecutive octaves
between the voice part and the bass of the accompaniment
(end of page 2 and beginning of page 3) are probably a mere
oversight, as they might, easily have been avoided. “ I dream
of thee still,” song, by C. H. li Marriott, and 44 The Wanderer’s
Return,” ballad, by Charlotte C. Gilbert (same publishers),
have tho merit of clearly-defined, pleasing melody, and both are
available for voices of limited range.

Mr. Berthold Tours’s songs, “The Maiden and the Sun.
beam and “ Gone Before,” published by Messrs. Evan* am i
Co., will both be welcome to drawing-room vocalists— the
first as an effective piece of musical declamation, the other u
an agreeable, flowing melody, neither of them requiring a voict
of more than average compass. Mr. Tours’s three p&hoforfc
pieces, “Alla Gavotte,” 41 Alla Bourrta,” and “Mcniutto"
(issued by. the same publishers), are very clever imitation* of
the older forms of dance-music implied by the titles, fchequaint
antique grace of which is very successfully realised.

Messrs. Enoch aud Son have been contributing largely oi
late, both to vocal and to instrumental music. Among piocea
of the former class are several songs that will doubt®** find
largo acceptance. Franz Abt’s song, 41 1 never speak thynamfi
aloud, although the sixth number of his op. 418, may compare
with many of Jiis previous pieces in melodious expressiveness.
“ Good-by,” by Heury^Smart, has a well-defined and coherent
melody, supported by'an accompaniment which, although not
elaborate or difficult, shows the hand of the skilled musician.

A thousand pretty things,” by Mr. G. A. Mucfarren, is another
proof that a geiium&ortist can give value and jmporfani
to tho smaller form .i of his art. “ A Forsaken Grid
Madame Sain ton-Dolby, is a serious ballad of that L
which this lady used_to give such effect hy her expresail
ing, and of which she has herself produced several aiicee*
am pies. To pianoforte music Messrs. Enoch have conn

which is not only highly pleasing in itself, but is c»j
valuable as a study for the attainment of fluent continuity uf
passage-playing by the right hand.

Messrs. Duff and Stewart are active and successful providers
of novelties for drawing-room vocalists. Among their recent
productions are a set of songs by Mr J. L. Hatton, including
A bird sang in a hawthorn-tree,’ in which a well-sustained
melody is contrasted with a bright accompaniment; 44 Blos¬
soms,” a pleasing musical reflection of the anticipations of
spring; 44 Sing, nor let one note of sadness,” a pretty melody
very gracefully accompanied ; 44 The Stream— a Reverie,” in
win eh a feeling of calm repose is well expressed; and 44 Rippling
U aves, highly suggestive of a gently flowing current. All
these pieces are favourable specimens of Mr. Hatton’s well-
known powers as a vocal writer. ~
lark

From the house of H. Klein we have various agreeable
pieces, vocal and instrumental. Among the former ore Sir J.
Benedict’s effective song, 44 The Sailor’s Bride ; V Mis* Virginia
Gabriel’s clever setting of words by Miss Procter, 14 UTwt Jack
tiie valleys and mountains” (“ A Shadow ”); Mr. W. Oanz's
pretty ballads, “Camellia and Rose ” and “A damsel fair”
(the latter of which has been sung by Mdlle. t’nrlotta Patti)—
Ml of which lie within a moderate compost of voice. Mr.
Klein’s issues of pianoforte music include *! Petits Souvenirs,
deux Morceaux de Genre,” by Gustave ErJanger, which will
be found both pleasant and improving in practice ; a spirited
“Grand Valse ” hy that powerful pianist the Chevalier de
Kontski ; a graceful little fantasia, entitled “ Mdlle. Sophia
Flora Heilbronu’s own Musical Box,” in which that skilml
young pianist has interwoven the themes of tho Mermaid’s
Song from “Oberon,” the Fisherman’s Chorus from “Alasa*
niello,” aud 44 Home, sweet Home.”

The official declaration of the poll at Newcastle (made t«xi
late to be announced in our early edition last week) shows that
7356 electors voted for Mr. Joseph Cowen, the Liberal can¬
didate, and 6353 for Mr. Haniond, who came forward as a
Conservative.

. In 44 The Child and the Sky-

.. ? lo P er has Placed a very effective song,

w^ith a flute obbligato added to the pianoforte accompaniment,
a combination that cannot fail to please. From Messrs. Duff
and Stewart wehave also a brilliant “Tarantella di Bravura”
for the pianoforte, by Mr. Charles Bradley, who has succeeded
in givmgmterest to a much-worn dance form. It is well written
for the instrument, and will afford p easant and profitable
practice.

As the dancing season is not yet (query, is it ever?) ex-
haunted, we may here point to the supplies of music furnished,
among others, by the well-known firm of Messrs. Hammond
and Co. (formerly Julhen’a). From the former we have a con-
timiatum of the long series of waltzes by the renowned Viennese
Josef (.rung 1, who recently visited us and conducted his musfa
at M. Lmerc s promenade concerts. The pieces now referred
to are Marietta (polka), “ Hochzeitsregen.” and “Tanz
Metronome, the last being classed as op. 273—a sufficient
sign of the composer s productiveness. Each of these has the
true dance character m the marked distinctness of the
evera rhythms; Another name famous for dance-music is
that of Johanu -Stranss. a large number of whttie compositions
have been published by Messrs. Hammond and Co., one of the
latest being a capital plop, entitled 44 Indigo.” Other names
less known are those of ff. Koliler and Gustav ~ am

As president of the Society for the Promotion of .Seioutilia
Industry, which has been founded at Alanchestor within fit*
past few months, Lord Derby, yesterday week, delivered hi*
opening address to the members. The meeting was held in tho
1 ownhall, which was tilled with an influential gatberuig of the
capitalists and manufacturers of Lancashire and Yorkshire.
Among those who took an active part in the proceedings were
Sir John Pakington, the Bishop of Manchester, AD. Hugh
Mason.(chairman of the Alanchestor Chamber of Commerce),
the Bishop of Salford, and the Mayors of Manchester
Salford, incidentally, his Lordship remarked that, though
England is, m a certain sen*.-, a rich oouutry, the averse of
individual income ranges very low—£30 a year for each person,
or T15() for a family, being the highest estimate he had ever
heard; while probably that was a good deal above the truth.
He traced the peculiar circumstances uf the growth of its wealth,
ascribing much to tho exclusive trade which Britain originally
enjoyed with her colonies. He scouted the idea of foreign com*
petition being counteracted by protective expedients. The true
remedies he showed to be the duvelopmcnt of mechanical ap*
p.lances and the proper utilisation of waste power. Adverting
to t h e apprehensions of the political economist* whorai , ?ean alarm
aoout the speedy «:> liaustmn of our roal supply, lie declared that
the industrial question was not how to find motive power, but
how to apply it. With this qualification, the resources that
nature offered were illimitable.

MR. HENRY GLASSFOKD BELL.

To those who had tho honour and pleasure of his acquaintauce it is well
known that the late Sheriff Bell, whose death is now (he cause of so much
grief in Scotland, was a most accomplished chessplayer, and had been for
very many years the President of tho Glasgow Chew Club. Speaking of
him in this light tho Otas^mr Hrrabl observes :—“ We cannot permit the
demise ut the late honorary president of the Glasgow <;hess (mb to |m»ss
without placing ou record the nuuiy ami valuable services rendered it )*v
hhn during the last quarter of a century. In I860 tho chess club then
eslablndnol including uraoug its number not a few leading citizens—
having, for some reasoif or other, )>egan Bensibly to decrease, »t was con-
siderod necessary by those who had the interests of the club and the game
at lu-art to tak«3 some step by Which tho former might bo reauscitutcu and
ittfustN.i with new life. In view of this object it was suggested that Sheriff
Bell (who was known to be both fond ot and highly skilled in the game)
.‘•hould l*o invited to be president of the club. When waited upon fur
this purpose, tho sheriff expressed himself highly gratified, find readily
commuted to the request. Fortunately for the dub, the name of the Shorilf
appeared to bo one to conjure with. lu the course of a fortnight
th« lltanber of members rose from forty t<» 150. New rules were submitted
for consideration, and all passed readily under the auspices of tin learned
gentleman. A new duKroom wa# opened in the Rojal Kxchiiugo and a
special attenOBSt provided for tho dub At this time the dub was in u
highly prxwjmrous and satisfactory state, ami there can be no doubt that
its reuewxwi vigour was princlpfilly attributable to tho prestige .uni
active interest taken in it by sheriff Bell. Mr. Staunton, thu then
champion of I he World, wus invited to Glasgow, and, after a brilliant dis¬
play of his chess abilities, was honoured with a grand dinner, at which
the •*\herifr presided with that bonhomie, pleasant geniality. ;uul wit ami
humour which distinguished him. During his presidency he jn'eseuted
Lhe club witfi ^ splendid chesa-board, which was highly appreciated at the
time, bm will now be more carefully cherished in grateiul remembrance
of lhe donor. He continued to take a lively interest in chess till the close
of his career. While, however, no one was fonder of the game than he
w a*« in leisure hours, ne never suffered it to interfere in the remotest degree
with the business oi life : and in a very interesting and erudite lecture on
chess which he delivered on Nov. 22, 1*4, in St. M-ixy * Hall, Glas
concluded with the following excellent udvice‘ Chess.' he said. * a

• TILE WILL OF PAUL DUUALDE.

We might head this paper “ Why Paul Duhalde made his
Will ; ” for certainly no idea could be much more original than
that on which its. principal, and disputed, clause was founded.

A brief sketch of the history of Paul Duhalde cannot fail
to interest our readers, and will bust explain the peculiarity of
this testamentary document.

This individual was born at Paris, in 1691 ; he was tho son
of a dealer iii diamonds, aud lost hia father at the age of sixteen
years, when he was sent to Spain by liis mother to learn tho
arcana of the business. Tho lad had no success, and returned.
He was theii placed with a merchant at Rouen, but did not get
on, and subsequently passed to America, but his restless dis¬
position soon sent him hack to France. Tliia brought him to
the year 1717, and he w f as now twenty-six years of age. Ho
remained some months with his mother, and then, having con¬
tracted a partnership with two jewel merchants, set off a second
time to Madrid ; this enterprise was, however, not more suc¬
cessful than those preceding it, and he came back to Paris, in
the month of February, 1719, profoundly discouraged, and not
without reason.

Here the melancholy reflections consequent on his repeated
and persistent failures suggested to him a very singular notion,
that of contracting a partnership with God. He proceeded to
outer seriously into this bizarre contract, and drew up an act
in regular and technical form, which he transcribed mto his
day-book on Sept. 24, 1719, in the following torms “I
have resolved to enter into a partnership with God,
promising and undertaking to fulfil all the within mentioned
articles ; and I enjoin my heirs, whoever they may be, to
carry out these my intentions in case I should die before
accomplishing them myself.”

He thou proceeds to declare that this association, the
object of which is to deal in precious stones, shall hold good
for five years, reckoning from Oct. 2,1719. He fixes his capital
at 3000 Spanish piasters (£600), being all that remained to him
of his patrimony. He hinds himself not to enter into any other
partnership during tho five years, unless with a woman,
by marriage. As soon as the five years shall have elapsed
he proposes to balance his accounts, to begin by with¬
drawing from tho partnership the 3000 piasters with
which he started ; secondly, to take from it the dowry that
his w ife may' have brought him; thirdly, any sum or sums
that may have fallen in to him by succession or otherwise
during the time ; after which he adds, “And the surplus shall
be equally divided between God aud myself.”

This i
Duhalde a

attempt does not augur well for the partners. Two years
after, however (1721), the . project of a double marriage between
the Courts of France and Spain gives a new’ impetus to the
branch of commerce in which he is engaged, and he resolves to
improve the opportunity. At last Fortune seems to smile upon
his endeavours, and the ultimate results exceed his fondest
hopes. He now returns to Paris, resolving to settle himself
finally there.

In 172*2 he married the daughter of De Hansy, a well-
known bookseller, wdio brought him 30,000 livres, aud from his
mother, who died in September of the same year, lie inherited
70,226 livres. On May 20, 1723, a son w r as born to bim.

Meantime Duhalde never loses sight of the obligations he
has taken upon himself towards God. He draws, from time to
time, from the common fund, sums which he distributes, in the
name of God, to the poor, and inscribes these with regularity
and precision ill his registers.

Chi Oct. 1, 1724, the partnership expires. Duhaldo strikes
a balance of his aceonnts, and finds from the aggregate of tho
entries that he has already paid to the poor 13,684 livres ; but
this is not ulL In the statement of account drawn up lie has
considered three classes of stones as constituting a portion of
the profits : one of these lots is at Amsterdam, one at Madrid,
and one at Paris : these he shares equally, inscribing on the
packets which contain them, “Half for the poor; ” and at tho
toot of tho statement of account he unites : —“Misfortune and
malediction upon my heirs, whoever they maybe, if, under any
pretext whatever, they should fail to distribute to the poor the
half of whatever proceeds may come from the jew els now in my
possession, if so bo God should call me away before I shall have
been able to satisfy their claims myself. Further, if by any
extraordinary event it should appear at my death that no other
amounts are forthcoming but those goods or sums w hich are
virtually the property of the poor, let not a sacrilegious hand
bo laid upon them ; they constitute a deposit which can under
no circumstances he diverted from its just course.”

In addition to this precaution, and in order to secure to tho
poor the a mounts he regarded as strictly their due, Duhaldo
drew* up in the month of January, 1725, eight bills of 1600 livres
each, payable to order from year to year, comprising the years
1725 to 1732, and placed the Be bills iii thohands rf the Vicar
of St. Germain l’Auxerrois.

On Jan. 14, 1725, ho fell ill and made his will, by which he
declares that :— “ In the books which cqntjjtin the minutes of his
allairs there are several articles touchinjg-ruatters that concern
the poor begs bis executor to examine these articles with
the greatest accuracy, and to see -they ara ; carried out with
the strictest attention.” / ^ '

Two months after, Duhalde die9,-leavitig a young widow, a
minor, and an infant tw o years okl. Tije ^iieduje of property
is called over, the administrators of tkc Hopital General arc
invited to attend. Among the effects of the deceased are found
packets ofprt-cious stones, labelled “ Half for the poor ; ” their
portion is estimated at 18,188 Iivre3. The administrators claim
it. but offer to compromise for the sum of l5,9G0f. The youug
widow protests ; the guardian contends that the will should bo
Set aside on the ground that no *aue men ever get into a part¬
nership with God. Tho parties appeal to law, and, after a
spirited altercation, a judgiiiemti is obtained* April 3, 1/26, on
the decision of D'Aguesstau (Avocat-G^n^ral). ordering that
“The will of Ouhaloe and rim, acts and codicils dependent:
thereon shall be fulfilled according to the desire of the tistator ;
he consequently condemns the guardian of the widow and her
son to hand over to the administrators of the hospital-funds
the jewels constituting the legacy made by the testator to tho
poor, but leaving him tho choice of paying the sum in lueney
value, as estimated by experts to bo piovided by the Court ;
the course adopted by-the said guardian to bu decided on
within a fortnight.”

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS.

LONDON, SATURDAY, JANUARY 31, Wi,

The Parliament of 18G8 lias ceased to exist. IVe

are on

the very threshold of a general election. Why this has

conic to pass will be found explained in the address of
Mr. Gladstone to his Greenwich constituents, published
in the metropolitan daily journals of Saturday last. It
would seem that her Majesty's Ministers were * dis¬
heartened by a long and almost unbroken succession of
local electoral defeats, and that they felt themselves com.
polled to look forward to the Session which had already
been convoked with some misgiving as to their own
power of turning it to fruitful account. They conse¬
quently came to the resolution, which has received the
sanction of her Majesty, to consult the mind of the
country. That resolution they proceeded straightway
A new Parliament Ira?* bom.

to carry into effect, A new Parliament has beeii
summoned to meet for the dispatch of business on
March 5. The borough elections will be over by
the end of next week, and the county elections will
have been brought to a close within a fortnight
of that time. Tho precipitation of tho struggle
has taken tlie world by surprise. When it is over
the public of the United Kingdom will probably con¬
gratulate itself upon the fact, totally unexpected as it
was, that the last Parliament was not left to db a
lingering death ; that the birth of a new Parliament was
preceded by but a short, sharp, and decisive struggle;
and that political affairs have entered upon a new pariol
of normal development.

M e cannot conceal from ourselves that in this in*
stance Air. Gladstone has departed, to some extent, from
customary Constitutional practice, but it is nonseme to
pretend that he has res orted to r a JT^>

B&ircely lfe td ii&ve siram ed a single eleinent •A the

Constitution. There will be—of course there is—a Tide
difference of opinion as to the expedience of the step
which he has taken ; there can be no reasonable de¬
ference, we tlffiik, as to his right to take it. As
a party move it may, or may not, be successful; ns
an exemplification of exalted political propriety it is, mi-
questionably, open to adverse criticism. Tt constitutes
a very undesirable precedont. It may conduce to modes
of transacting tlie business of the country which future
generations will have reason to deplore. None of us
would wish tlie management of the politic,d affaire of
the nation to be dominated by a seric 3 of surprises. It
would take us out of the natural and customary course
ol Parliamentary procedure, and might suggest to future
Ministers temptations the force of which no reasonable
man would like to see strengthened. But every de¬
viation from constitutional usage mu-d be judged by the
reasons assignee! for its justification. In the present case
they are weighty as well as numerous. The particular
objections urged against it, with the exception of that
which we have glanced at above, are of very small
moment. The time lost to the business of the country
will probably be more than redeemed. The last Parlia- ^
ment had done its work, and all but exhausted its
political vitality.* The season chosen for a general
election is by no means unfavourable. The commercial
and trading enterprise of tlie country will not, as it might
have done, buffer any disastrous suspension of its
activities. Many problems about wliich the judgment
and temper of the constituent bodies was held in donbt
will be virtually settled. Party spirit will once .again
move within practical rather than speculative lines of
manifestation. In short, the public will probably wake
up some morning, less than a month hence, to rejoice in
the fact that a serious political crisis, long looked for¬
ward to with hope or fear, with mistrust or impatience
of suspense, lias been suddenly passed through, and that
tlie ordinary pursuits of individual citizens may be pro¬
secuted without apprehension x of any proximate political
upheaval.

Let it be said to tlie honour of the Parliament so
summarily dismissed that it succeeded in fairly accom¬
plishing the work which it was chosen to perform, and
t.iat, in respect of most of the great measures which it
placed upon the statute-book, it well and wisely inter¬
preted the general consensus of public opinion. In the
disestablishment of the Irish Church, in the removal of
most ol the grievances indicted upon Irish husbandry by
the system of land tenure which there obtained, in the
construction of a vast machinery for the education of the

European conjuncture, it succeeded in effecting; it I
placed its name and fame at the highest place on the •
historical scroll on which are inscribed the triumphs of
legislative genius and industry. The part it has played

cf vemony the bride and bridegroom were saluted by the
Emperor and Empress most affectionately, and immediately all
gttcceeded to the Salle d’Alexandre, where tho Protestant mar¬
riage was performed by the Very JRev. Dean Stanley, assisted
by the Pt v. A. Thompson and tho Rev. Mr. Kiugsford. The
bride was given away by the Emperor, Prince Artlinr bring

tilings it lias done, but will assuredly recognise in its Qunn frorn Osborne. Dean Stanley read a special prayer, com
career an inspiring example of disinterested and lofty
aims compassed by admirable .self-denial and indefatigable
la la tir.

Of the Parliament to come we ran only express our¬
selves in the language of hope. That it will sliow many
personal changes iu its constituent members is certain.

That it will with equal adequacy give effect to the will of
the nation is highly to be desired, although this, as yet, is
extremely problematical. The main influences brought to
1 car upon the constituencies by the projected program we of
the Ministers, are financial in their character, and, hence t
are ill-calculated to elicit the highest order of political and
patriotic motive. The abolition of the ineome tax and
the further relaxation of indirect taxation, conjointly
with an adjustment of local to imperial burdens, will,
no doubt, give an immense impulse to the action of the
great majority of electors, and will stamp with its own
impression no small proportion of the elected. Whether,
when that impulse has exhausted itself and that stamp
has been effaced, the Legislative conceptions and apti¬
tudes of the House of Commons will fairly answer the
demands of public opinion in relation id other and even
higher questions of political interest, remains to be seen.

We can only hope that they may; but, from the data at
present available for the formation of our judgment, such
hope is considerably streaked with apprehension.

One conclusion, we think,' is tolerably clear. There
is no very wide difference between the professed objects
of the two great political parties. What Mr. Gladstone
pi opines to do Mr. Disraeli is not, in the abstract,
unwilling should he clone. The main question between
them is 1 y w hich party it may be most safely and suc¬
cessfully effected. The country is about to settle that
point, Aiul will settle it, we cannot but hope, with its
usual instinctive sagacity.

po.s'i d by himself for the occasion. The singing of the Russian

the top of the room) was commenced from tho throne, the
bride in turn being escorted through the maze of guests t>y the

QUEEN VICTORIA’S PARLIAMENTS,
li e Parliament which has just passed away into the
region of history is the eighth Parliament which has been
assembled under the reign of her Majesty, aud the tenth since
the passing of tho first Reform Bill. The Parliament which
v. as sitting at the death of AViffiam IV., in June, 1837, came
to an end in the following month by the demise of tho Urowh,
and the new Parliament elected iu tlie August, which mat in
the*November of that year, w as dissolved in June, 1841, having
lasted four years. Her Majesty’s second Parliament, elected in
Atlgurt, 1841, was dissolved in July, 1847, having Instolneiriy
six years. Her third Parliament, which met in 'the November
of the same year, was dissolved in July, 185*2, having listed
abcutfonr years and three quarters. The fourth Parliament of her
Majesty met in November, 1852, and w as dissolved in March,
H57, having lasted four years and a half. The fifth Parlia¬
ment of her Majesty was the briefest in ite duration, hiving met
in April, 1857, and having been dissolved in the spring of 1S5J,
after a life of little more than two years* duration. Tho next
Parliament, w hich assembled in April, 1859, lasted six years,
being dissolved early in 1S<J5 ; aud her Majesty’s seventh Par¬
liament, tlie immediate predecessor of the present ono, lasted
from tlie spring of 186*5 to the autumn 01 1868, about three
years and a half. The present, which will hereafter bo known
as Mr. Gladstone’s Parliament, was elected in November an 1
December, 18C8, and hence lias enjoyed an exbteuco of a Little
over five years. Consequently it has lived huger than any <,f
its predecessors, except those if 1841-7 and 1S51M55.— finix.

to the general principles of tho educational policy pursued by
the Government during the last four years, and declaring that
it is the immediate duty of all who desire to restore union au l
vigour to the Liberal party to insist that all candidates for
their support shall declare themselves opposed to the further
development of the denominational system, and pledge them¬
selves to vote for the abolition of tlie twenty-fifth clause of

“HIGH LIFE.”

The late Sir Edwin Landseer’s unapproachable genius for
tlie pictorial representation of dog life and character is
admirably shown in the pair of companion pictures, “ High
life” and “Low life,” belonging to the Vernon Collection at
the Souili Kensington Museum. In the former, wliich is copied
for our Engraving, wc sec one of the most gentlemanly beasts,
60 to speak, that the animal creation has to show—namely,
the rough-haired or .Scottish greyhound, of a pare breed, the
worthy retainer of a noble Earl's household in some fine old
castle of North Britain. The painter knew* such dogs and
tl eir musters, and the game they pursued, with the intimate
acquaintance of a lifetime passed in constantly enjoying,
observing, and depicting their gallant behaviour. These hand¬
some figures, and the sports connected with them, are highly
characteristic of our country ; they smack of tlie manners,
tastes, and habits of this nation. It is to be hoped that the
love of a good hound, and of a good horse, will ever be charac¬
teristic of an English or Scottish gentleman. Nor can we yet
desire that the breed of red deer in the Highlands, or the
various races of smaller game, four-footed or winded, should
become extinct, where room may still be found for them
without impeding the cultivation of the land. “ High Life/
at any rate, must be allowed its due claim npon our regard, for
the sake of its stately grace and beauty.’

THE APPEAL TO THE COUNTRY.

On Saturday last the London daily papers published Mr,
Gladstone's address to the electors of Greenwich, announcing
that the Queen had been advised by her Ministers to dissolve
Parliament, and promising certain legislative measures and
remissions of taxation should a “fresh access of strength”
aecine to the Liberal party at the forthcoming general election.
The defeat of tlie Government on the Irish Universities Bill
and the Tory victories at many of the elections of the past
year are alleged as the causes of the appeal to the country. A
hope is expressed, with regard to the Ashantee war, that “ we
me about to emerge at an early date, and on good terms, from
the conflict.” Mr. Gladstone is of opinion that we have
riot yet had sufficient experience of the working of the
Education Act to reconsider any clauses of it. Recon-
sliucticn of the Judicial Establishments of Scotland and
Ireland will claim the attention of Parliament. So will
ti c Local Government of London ; and the yet further ex¬
tension to the public of the benefits of Oxford and Cambridge
Universities. Assimilation of the county with the borough
franchise ; “ the laws respecting the transfer, the descent, and
the occupation of land ; the laws respecting game, the laws
respecting the sale of spirituous liquors, the laws affecting tlio
relations between employer and employed, the laws of rating
and of local government, are among the subjects likely to come
in turn under the notice of the new Parliament.

Upon a review of the finance of the hist five years w*e are
enabled to state that, notwithstanding the purchase of the
telegraphs for a sum exceeding £9,000,000, the aggregate
amount of the national debt lias been reduced by more
than £20,000,000; that taxes have been lowered oy abolished
(over and al ove any amount imposed) to the extent of
£12,500,000 ; that during the present year the Alabama in¬
demnity has been paid, and the charge of the Ashantee war will
be ir.ct cut of revenue; and that in estimating, as w*e can now
\enlure to do, the income of the coming year (and, for tlie
mum lit, assuming the general scale of charge to continue ns it
was fixed during the last Session), ye do not fear to anticipate
«<* the provable balance a surplus exceeding rather than faffing
short of £5,^)00,000. ” Mr. Gladstone proposes, with his surplus
and certain “ judicious adjustment,” to repeal the income tax
and at the fame time to relieve tpio “general consumer/' and
to undertake the “ relief coupled with reform of local taxation.”

The reply of Mr. Disraeli to Mr. Gladstone’s address
promptly appeared in the shape of an address to his con¬
stituents, published on Monday morning. Its points arc suf¬
ficiently summarised in our article on tlio Dissolution elsewhere
in this Number, as are the smart counter-hits dealt to the leader
of the Opposition by Mr. Lowe.

Mr. Gladstone (accompanied by Mrs. and Miss Gladstone)
received a hearty welcome frem a meeting of some ten thou¬
sand of bis constituents on Blackheath on Wednesday after-
neon. Having been introduced in a few apt words by Mr. \V.
P. Pock, the chairman of his election committee, Mr. Gladstone
made a vigorous speech, which lasted over an hour. He was
very ironical in criticising Mr. Disraeli’s allusion to the Straits
of Malacca. He may almost bo said to have belaboured tho
Toiy leader with a Malacca cane; and, to quote Air. Gladstone’s
own W’ords, happily recalling the “plundering and blunder¬
ing” letter of Mr. Disraeli, he left “the leader of the
Opposition for tho present fioundering and foundering in tho
Straits of Malacca/' Mr. Gladstone then argued that the
remission of taxes which he proposed was a much more
bonft fide and statesman-liko arrangement than anything
the Conservatives could accomplish for them. It w*as
to be accompanied by economy, wdiich Conservative
administrations of recent times, said the Premier, had
departed from. They might abolish the income tax, but they
w ould not lower the sugar duty or give relief to articles of
“genual and universal consumption.” in dilating on tho
issues of the election, he declared that against “ Conservative
Reaction” he promulgated another watchword, that of
“ Liberal Union.” The address was frequently cheered, and
at its close a vote of confidence in Mr. Gladstone was moved
1 y Dr. Thirvis, seconded by Dr. W. G. Bennett, and carried
with enthusiasm. The election for Greenwich is to take place
next Tuesday.

Parliament was formally dissolved by Royal proclamation
< n Monday, aiul the date for tlie meeting of the new Parliar*
i! 1 i.t was fixed for March 5. The writs were issued on Tuesday
11 ’ght, and it is expected that the elections for both boroughs
■M.d u unties w ill be over by St. Valentine’s Day.

Dr. Rcblfs, the Afiicon explorer, reports to Dr. Petorumm
that liis expedition has reached the centre of the oasis of

A Singapore telegram says Sir .Andrew Clarke has re-
tunul there from Perak, having disarmed the belligerent
Chinese, destroyed their stockades, and restored tho captured

also suppressed all piracy on the seaboard and rivers of Lv.oot.

Professor Pajmieri wishes it to be announced, in answer to
numerous inquiries he is receiving from all parts of Europe,
tin t the present condition of Vesuvius betokens volcanic dis¬

RUSSIAN SOCIETY FOR AID TO THE
SHIPWRECKED.

At the present moment, when the auspicious union of our
Sailor Prince, the Duke of Edinburgh, with the only daughter
of the Czar of Russia has just been consummated, the two
llustrations which we give of a scene particularly Russian will
doubtless be found of particular interest. They are taken
from authentic photographs, and, while they convey a vivid
impression of the peculiar dangers attendant on travelling
where the frozen surface of the sea is the great highway, they
also exjhibit the means provided to rescue the hapless wayfarers
who, on tlie breaking up of the river ice or its partial thaw,
w culd otherw ise be likely to perish.

The scene represented in one Illustration is that of a party
of country people going to market, who, having become isolated
on a detached floe of ice, are in great danger. The other
shows a perilous situation under different circumstances. Here,
from the occurrence of soft places in the ice. where, it may be,
seme luckless wight has before fallen through, the traveller is
suddenly immersed, and, if no help be at baud, may speedily
perish. * In this way, it not unfrequently happens that horsc3
and vehicles, with the men who accompany them, are swallowed
up and drowned. But, as in this country we have our National
Life-Peat Institution and our Humane Society to afford succour
to the shipwrecked and other drowning persona, so likewise in
Russia there is now organised and established an official agency
for help in these dangers. Boats are at hand, which, by the
addition of side or bilge keels, cau be readily converted into
sledges for transport on the ice, their crews being also furnished
with life belts, similar to those of our own life-boat men, anil
with lines and planks to enable them to effect their humane
object.

It will be interesting to our readers to know that tlic 3 e boats
are provided by a Russian society recently started, which has
its head-quarters at St. Petcrslnirg. This society has been
organised, to some extent, after the example of our Royal
National Life-Boat Institution, whose model of life-boats it has
adopted for service 011 the scacoasts of Russia ; and some life¬
boats have been built for Russia by Messrs. Forrostt aud Son,
of TJmuhouse, the well-known builders for our institution,
under the superintendence of its officers here.

The Russian society, which is entitled tho Society for
Aid to the Shipwrecked, has for its patroness her Imperial
Highness the Grand Duchess Czarevna, and for its president
Artec-Admiral Pe&siett, with several other distinguished men
on its managing committee. It combines the functions of life¬
boat woik on the coast with those of our Humane Society ou
the rivers and other frozen waters of Russia. As a proof of
tlie interest taken in tho society by her Imperial Highness its
patroness, w e may observe that it was especially brought by her
under the notice of tlie Prince aud Princess of Wales, ou their
recent visit to the Russian capital. They have, at their own
request, been enrolled amongst the honorary members of the
Russien society. _

FRANCE.

(Frcm our Correspondent in Paris.)

Thursday, Jan. 29.

“Tho Septciinat/’ as French politicians have ohiusttmod
Marshal MacMahon’s seven years’ lease of pow'er, which we
were told was to restore public confidence, stimulate commerce
and industry, and crush for ever the hateful hydra of anarchy,
has hitherto only been productive of general discontent.
The Legitimists are already showing then* alarm lest the
Marshal should take in earnest w hat they intended only for a
joke, and the Union aud the Gazette tic Franc* are busy ex¬
plaining to their readers that the Assembly can any day cancel
tlie vote by which it conferred supreme power on the Due de
Magenta for seven years. The Ministerial organs assert, how¬
ever, that the vote of Nov. 19 is irrevocable, aud that the
Marshal does not intend to relinquish the helm of the State ou
any pretence w hatever.

r l his announcement has especially incensed the Extreme
Right, who have always looked upon the “ Septennat ” as a
j-tep ping-stone for tlie re-establishment of the Monarchy ; aud
M. Ecidinaiul Boyer lias just disclosed that, on tho eve of the
voting of the prorogation law, M. de Broglie entered into a
convention with the adherents of Henri A’., by the terms of
Which Marshal MacMahon was to utilise liis power to effect the
restoration of the Bourbons. The Royalists now perceive that
they have been duped by the Prime Minister, and, with the
view* of avenging themselves, have contracted an alliance with
tie Republicans, the result, of which will possibly be not
merely the overthrow of the Cabinet, but the forced resignation
of Marshal MacMahon and the abrupt conclusion of the
Septennat.

The Due de Broglie, w ho is usually remarkably reticent, has
issued a veritable political manifesto this w'eek, in the form of
a circular to the prefects, explaining the object of the law on
tlie nomination of mayors, tne new* state of things which it
creates, and the manner in which its provisions arc to ba exe¬
cuted. The Duke says that tho municipal officers should sup¬
port the authority of Marshal MacMahon, which, during the
seven years of liis presidency, is beyond all dispute. This cir¬
cular, besides provoking the wrath of the Extreme Right, has,
moreover, elicited an interpellation from MM. Gainbetta and
Challamel Lacour, aud other members of the Radical party,
who moved, on Monday, for permission to question the Govern¬
ment concerning it. The Assembly rejected an Orleanist pro¬
position in favour of adjourning the interpellation for three
months, and it was eventually decided to discuss it immediately
after the debate on the new taxes.

The sittings of the Assembly have been rather monotonous
of late. On Monday, however, they w*ere varied by an elo¬
quent address from Bishop Dupanloup in favour of the bill for
the appointment of army chaplains ; aud an animated debate
arose cn Tuesday apropos of the recent election of M. Marcou
in the Audc. M. de Gavardie opposed the validation of the
election cn the ground that M. Marcou, who is a journalist.
Lad frequently attacked religion and public morality in his
writings. On M. Gamhetta exclaiming that the assertion was
inexact, the warlike clerical deputy retorted by a stinging
phrase, to the effect that the ex-dictator had talked so much
while he was in power that the oply right he enjoyed to-day
wes that of keeping his mouth closed. M. de Gavardie was at
dice called to order by the president, and, after a short speech
from M. Marcou, that deputy’s election w r as eventually
approved.

The Constitutional Committee of Thirty, which continues

NATIONAL SrOETS.

At the time of writing, the acceptances for the Lincolnshire
Handicap, though due, have not appeared, hut there can be
little doubt that they will be very satisfactory, os the handicap
is unquestionably a remarkably good one. Wenlock (0 at. 4 lb.)
has been rather haishly treated, as he ha 3 never run since he
won the 8t. Leger oi 1872, on which occasion he beat a very
moderate held, for Prince Charlie was out of his distance, and
Vanderdeeken had scarcely run himself into form, Android
(Sst. 5 lh.) appeals the most likelv of all the heavy weights, as
he has a lino turn of speed, and, from iiis conform¬
ation, is admirably adapted for the flat mile at Lincolu.
liochfitapkr (7 st. 10 lb.) Las generally performed miserably;
but, cculd he show a little of the form that enabled
him to cut down The Colonel last season, what chance
could a thrce-year-old, even of Xewry's (Tst, 71b.) class,
possess ? indeed, we think the last-named, though much
lancied, is by no means certain to beat Lily Agnes (7 st. I lb.),
The Australian champion, Gloudove (7 st- 21b.), though con¬
sidered good enough to be entered for the Ascot Cup, has
escaped very easily; andperhaps Salvanos (7 at. 4 lb.) ia tho
pick of the entire entry. The handicap for the Bristol Royal
steeplechase must also be pronounced a success, a 3 there are
only thirty non-contents out of tho seventy-eight. Ryshworth
(12et. 71b.), Cramoisi (list. 51b.), Footman (list. 5 lb.). Har¬
vester (11 st. Jib.), Casse TVte (10st. 11 lb.), St. Aubyn
(10st. J1 lb.), Clifton (lOet. 81b.), and Royalist (10st. 7lb.)
have all been left in ; ■while Eurotns (12st.) aud Congress
(11 at. 10 lb.) arc the best performers of those that have paid

A report was widely current on .Saturday last that Dlaid-

very favourably ; for while opinions differ matnially as t.i his

such unblemished integrity and honour.

may mention that Earl Darnlcy has fractured his collar bon 3

the choice of a judge at tho forthcoming Waterloo meeting lias

THE TICHBORNE TRIAL.

"The Beginning of the End” is a significant proverbial title,
which aptly fits the scene on Thursday in the Court of Queen’s
Bench at Westminster, when the Lord Chief Justice, Sir
Alexander Cockburu, began liis summing up of the evidence in
the protracted tiial of the famous Claimant, there indicted for
perjury, committed in his Jute suit for the estates of the lost
Sir Roger Tiehborue. During this extraordinary trial, which
has lasted a hundred and seventy days, the Lord Chief Justice,
with Mr. Justice Mellor anil Mr. Justice Lush, has found it
necessary, upon several occasions, to cliecjv the violent or im¬
pertinent behaviour of persons concerned for the defendant's
interest; and it is u matter for general congratulation that the
Court w ill now be rid of such a disagreeable case.

On Wednesday Mr. Hawkins, Q. 0., finished his reply on
the part of the prosecution, which he had commenced on
Thursday week. He commented on the evidence about the
tattoo marks on Roger Tichborno’s arms. He next dealt with
the " Pittendrcigh letters ” — that is, the correspondence be¬
tween the defendant and the wife of one of the clerks of the
family attorney. He pointed out that tho defendant had tried
to bribe her to betray the secrets of her husband’s employers
a 1 to give him private information as to the case on the other
ride, especially as to the defendant’s identity with Orton, and he
urged that this was a sign of the consciousness of fraud. Ho
appealed to the conduct and demeanour of the defendant in
court during the’trial, and especially during the speeches of
his own counsel, Dr. lvencaly, as a fiord in g the strongest proofs
that lie could not be Roger Tichborne. For, said Mr. Hawkins,
he has sat silent and unmoved while his own father has been
reviled' in the grossest terms, while his most revered pre¬
ceptors end nearest friends were vilified as perjured
wittches, and while he hiinstdi was described as a
miserable nnd degraded sot, plunged in the grossest de¬
bauchery and guilty of the most infamous baseness and wicked-
ms-. “Cun this, ' he exclaimed, “be Roger Tichborne t *
Mr. Hawkins commented on that part of the case which related
to the mother’s lecognition of ham, first showing, from the
letters of Roger himself and his father, that she was animated
with the most insane hatred of his family. He proved by the
evidence of numerous witnesses—some of them her own
brothers and sisters, and one of them her own attorney—that
she was possessed by an insane delusion that her sou was living
in Australia, and that she had made up her mind to acknow¬
ledge the man who pretended to be her son, no matter whether
shfe recognised him or not, and no matter how T wild and false
were his statements. He remarked how this confirmed the
uncontradicted evidence of her servant as to the circumstances
of the pretended "recognition” of the defendant in Paris,
when si e sent for him three times over in vain tr crine to her,
ami his attorney went to her and had an interview w r iDh her, aud
she then went to tee him ; and while he lay with his face to the
wall, without seeing his features, she acknowledged him as her
son. He reminded the jury how she had avoided showing
him to any of her relatives or friends, and even to her private
attorney; how the moment Chatillon (Roger’s old tutor) saw
him he assured her it was not her son ; aud liow every one
of the family and friends, a? soon as they saw him,
with scarcely a single exception, declared him to be an
impostor, Tlio learned counsel went on to deal with
the story of the seduction and the sealed packet. He
reminded the jury that the defendant’s counsel at the last trial
made it a "crucial test” of Mb client’3 identity, nnd staked hU
cause upon the truth oi Mb story, and how liis counsel at tho
present trial had shrunk from the test, and actually complained
of its application. He proved from Roger’s letters that the
paper given to Mr. Goafurd in January, 1852, related to the
pledge to build a church if lie married his cousin, and that a
duplicate of it was given to his cousin herself in June, 1852, on
hie last visit to Tichborne. He observed that the defendant—
who had never so much as mentioned the scaled packet until,
in June, 1867, he was challenged with it by Mr. G os ford —
confessed thou that he “could not remember the contents.”
He shoved how*, two months afterwards, when the defendant
found that the original had been destroyed (after the news of
Roger’s death), he then, in ignorance of the existence of a
duplicate, gave the version of the paper which connected it
with the story of his seduction of Ins cousin, "in July or
August, 1852, at the mill in Cheriton (close to Tichborne),
while he was staying at the house.” Mr. Hawkins then showed,
by the evidence of seven credible witnesses, confirmed by Rogers
letters, that the whole story was false, and that Roger never
was at Tichborne at all after June, 1852, when he was there for
three days only, in a house full of company. He remarked that not
mi atom of evidence bad been adduced to prove the truth of the
fie tend ant’s story, which rested entirely on his own oath. He
dismissed with contemptuous notice the evidence of the wit¬
nesses called to give some sort of colour to the story, and
showed that not a single witness had spoken to a solitary art of
impropriety, or even of familiarity, between the cousins during
the brie i periods they were together at Tichborne. He dealt
in a spirit of indignant contempt with the story of the pre¬
tended “grotto,” and the deceptive photograph of it which had
Letn prepared under the auspices of Mr. Onslow, and produced
in court, to back up the evidence abont it. Mr. Hawkins here
indignantly denounced Mr. Onslow for having, on account of
some " dirty pecuniary interest ” ho had acquired in the case,
“lent himself to an unworthy trick to destroy the honour of
an Luglisli lady.” He then, in a strain of impassioned elo¬
quence, repudiated the suggestion of the defendant’s counsel
that the jury should find no verdict upon this part of the case
between Lady Kadcliife and the defendant. Tliey would thus,
he eaid, brand Lady Radoliffe with perjury or leave upon her
character the stigma of having been seduced by him. The learned
counsel here solemnly declared that he feared no such result,
but fell that her honour and character were safe in their hands.
Mr. Hawkins concluded his speech by leaving tire case with
confidence in the hands of the jury. Next morning (Thursday)
the Lord Chief Justice begun his summing up.

It was mentioned last week that the Lora Chief Justice had
summoned Mr. George Hammond Whallcy, M.P. for Peter¬
borough, a zealous jiartisan of the Claimant, to answer for the
offence of contempt of court. This offence had been committed
in the writing of a letter reflecting upon the case, which was
published in the Peterborough Timex and in the Daily Nem.
The letter was occasioned by the statements of Jean Luie, one
of defendant’s witnesses, about Mr.\Vhalley’s active part in
getting up the defendant’s case. Yesterday (Friday) week
M rAY halley appeared in court. His counsel, Mr. Morgan
Lloyd, Q.C., was instructed to offer the fullest apology, and
an affidavit was put in stating that Mr.Whalley had only given
the letter for publication to the editor of the Peterborough
Times, who, on his own authority, had sent slips to the London
papers. The lion, gentleman protested that his sole object was
to vindicate himselt with Lis constituents. After Dir. Lloyd’s
address, which was frequently interrupted by ejaculations
oi dissent on the part of* liis client, the Court sen¬
tenced Mr. Whalley to pay a fine of £250, and be
imprisoned until the amount was paid. Immediately
niteiwards the penalty of imprisonment was withdrawn

"in consideration of Mr. Whalley’s position ; ” but, Vr,
Wbfllley having declared his intention to decline payment, tho
Lord Chief Justice intimated that the imprisonment clause
would remain iu force. After the lion, gentleman had been
refined leave to make a supplementary speech, lie withdrew iu
company of the tipstaff of the Court. During the day the fine
was paid for him by liis sister, and Mr. Whalley, after passing
the Friday night in the City prison at Holloway, was released
on the Saturday morning.

The case of Jean Luie, or Lundgnm, wn ■ again before Sir
Thcinas Henry, at Bow-street, on Saturday. Mr. E Lewis, in *
long speech on behalf of the accuse 1 aaid that Luie wn the son of
a wealthy shipowner uow dead, and had occupied the position of
a gentleman ; fie had conversed with him* in thro • modern
languages and had found him proficient in moblismatics. The
learned gentleman examined Charles Jones, aud siid he had
eleven other witnesses to call for tho defence, who were not
then ready. There was consequently a further adjournment till
Thursday. On that day, the case was again before the magis¬
trate, and Mr. Whalley was examined at some length, giving
an account of liis interviews and correspondence with Luie
and of his visit to America for the purpose of collecting
evidence to help the Claimant. The case of Luie was once
more adjourned, to give time for liis other witnesses to at ten l.

LAW AND POLICE.

Mr. Ampblett, Q.C., the new Baron of tho ISs-he pn?-, w s
n adc a serjeant-at-law last Safcurdaj*, and was called within
the Bar, prior to his elevation to the Bench. Mr. Baron
Ampblett has received the honour of l:-lighthrod from her
Majesty. His predecessor, Mr. Baron Martin, formally took
leave of the Court on Monday, and on the following day Mr.
Baron Ampblett took his scat on the bench.

Mr. D. Maude, one of the magistrates at'the Greenwich
aud Woolwich Police Courts, has sent in hia resignation, con¬
sequent upon age and infirmity.

The Lord Chancellor and the Lords Justices gave judgment,
on Monday, on an appeal to them in a suit to try tho validity
of a bequest to ft child who was the issue of marriage with the
sister of a deceased wife. By liis will, dated Jrfiy t i LS‘>8, the
testator, James Occleston, left an interest in his estate to hi*
"reputed children,” Catherine Occleston and Edith Occleston.
and all other children who might thereafter be born. Another
child, certified aa Margaret Occleston, was born on Jan. f>,
I8(>fl The mother having died in January, 1809, and the
testator in 1870, the question arose whether the third child was
entitled to share in the bequest. The late Vice-Chancellor
Wickens decided that question in the negative. The Lord
Chancellor, on Monday, expressed his concurrence in this deci¬
sion ; but the Lords Justices thought Margaret was entitled to
share equally with her sisters. The result is that the judgment
of the Vice-Chancellor is reversed.

The investigation of the charge of conspiracy against Mr. Holli¬
day and other trades unionists was resumed by the Burnley magis¬
trates on Saturday. One of the witnesses stated that the highest
wages obtained by Cornish men in one week wore £i 0$. 5.1 ;
the highest wages obtained by workmen not Cornish men in
one week were £7 15a IB id. -Tlio average wages of Cornish
mincis wero £2 to £2 IDs. per man. The Bench decided that
there was no c.v-e against three of the defendants, and therefore
discharged them. Mr. HalUday and six other defendants were
committed for trial at tho ensuing Manchester Assizes oil the
charge of conspiracy. Bail was accepted.

The Irish Court of Queen’s Bench gave judgment on Satur¬
day in the action for libel brought by Mr. Walter Trevor
.Stamms, formerly agent to the Marquis of Hertford, against
the proprietor of the Belfast Northern Whig. Tho jury, at the
trial in December, 1872. awarded Mr. Stannus £100 damages.
Tho defendant now sought to set aside the verdict; but the
Court unanimously declined to allow an appeal.

The first division of the Scotch Court of Session gave judg¬
ment, yesterday "week, in the case at the instance of Mr.
Henry Pad wiok against Sir Archibald Douglas Stewart, Bart., of
Murthly and Graudtnlly, Perthshire, with regard to the validity
of the entail of these estates. In 1871 an agreement was ontored
into between Mr. Pad wick and Sir William Stewart, who was
then proprietor of Murthly, to sell the estate*, at Sir William’s
death, to Dir. Padwick for the sum of £350,0(10. Sir William
died m April, 1871, and Mr. Padwick brought this action to
have it found that the agreement for the sale of the estates was
on effectual one. Sir Archibald Douglas, Sir William’s brother,
who was the next heir of entail, maintained that the entail of
theses!ates was a valid one, aud barred any sale. The Court
decided against Mr. Padwick, and the case will now in all pro¬
bability be carried to the House of Lords.

The Comtesse de Bar, also calling herself tho Comtosse ds
Civiy, was charged at Marlborough-strect, on Tuesday, with
obtaining goods by fraudulent means. She said that family
reasons prevented her from making a public statement. She
was entitled to both titles, as her husband was the Comte de
Civry and her father the Comte de Bar. Mr. Knox said that
he should require bail in the sum of £500, and remanded her.

Lawrence Archdeacon, a clerk in the service of the
Exchange Telegraph Company, who is charged with stealing
American bonds to the value of £5000, was again brought up
at the Mansion House on Saturday, and committed for trial.

Pleading guilty to what was described by Mr. Wontner.
solicitor to the Great Northern Railway, as a "mean and
paltry fraud,” but urging baste as hia excuse, Dr. E. Symos
Thunpson paid a line of forty shillings and cost?, imposed by
the magistrate of the Clcrkenwell Police Court, who considered
the charge of attempting to avoid payment of faro fully proved.

George Preston, cattle-dealer, of Halosworth, in Suffolk,
who, in the judgment of Sir Robert Carden, "is evidently iu
the habit of buying unsound animals, and sending them to the
London market,” has been stopped, for two months, from con¬
tinuance in that practice, by being sent to gaol.

At Bow-street Wilhelm Brandes, a native of Brunswick, lias
been committed under the extradition treaty with Germany
on a charge of poisoning by arsenic.

George Derby, who combines the professions of wohhor and
cardsharper with the recreation of burglary, was charged,
yesterday week, at the Middlesex Session* with a seriei of
housebreakings. A policeman, who " knew him as well a, lis
knew liis own child,” testified to his being a ticket-of-loavo
man. He was sentenced to seven years’ penal servitude and

seven years’ supervision.-Thief aud receiver, iu the case of

a robbery from tbc glass warehouse of Dir. Philip Palmer, in
St. Dlartin’s-lane, were sentenced on Wednesday—the former
to nine, and the latter, a3 being the more guilty, to twelve
months’ imprisonment.

Yesterday week the punishment of the lash was inflicted
upon three convicts iu the gaol of Newgate for robberies
accompanied with violence.

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS

JAN. 31, 1874

BY THE WAY.

Amid the sudden excitement of political crisis the tidings of
the death of Livingstone bids men pause for a moment trom
the strife of tongues and take note that a great man has passed
“where beyond these voices there is peace.” There was a
natural effort to believe that again we had heard false news,
but there can be no longer any doubt. Some time about the
middle of the year Dr. Livingstone, in making one of the most
remarkable efforts which even his adventures record, was
smitten down by disease. His remains were on their way to
Zanzibar. There were no fitness, now, in seeking to dwell upon
Ids heroism, or to place in conventional "words the expression
of what all must feel. There will be time hereafter to honour
the dead. Wc suggest that the great missionary societies—and
why not the Bible Society ?—laying aside all differences, should
unite to raise a inonumont to one who fearlessly and per¬
sistently laboured in the missionary cause. Science, no doubt,
will do her part; but Livingstone would never have rendered
to Science the services for which she has to show herself
grateful, but for his devotion to a still loftier calling, that of
spreading Christianity.

The dissolution is upon us, and all things else are welluigh
forgotten. Even the Tichbome case will be concluded amidst
comparative inattention. The Ministerial secret was bo well
kept that it is clear that it was in the keeping of but a few,
and perhaps they ^ were uot possessed of it very long. On
Saturday the news leaped out, panther fashion. Now, the
country is stirred to its most remote nooks, and perhaps never
have been returns counted with such eagerness as will be the
elections concluded for the first time under the ballot. This
column does not deal with politics in any direct fashion ; but
even Diogenes rolled liis tub rather than seem to take no in¬
terest in that which wa3 exciting his fellow-citizens, and we
cannot let the great crisis pass by us without recognition Wo
may say that it is with Borne gratification that we observe in
the lists < f candidates very few indeed whom it would be dis¬
graceful in a constituency to return. The names of such men
are not entirely absent, but it speaks well for the belief in
public character that so few have ventured to appeal to the
electors. Which way the majority is to go is a speculation
outside the business of these paragraphs ; but we believe that,
even if the new Parliament be not, in Mr. Lowe’s words about
the last, so “ excessively solvent” tiiat it will have no sympathy
for anybody who does not pay twenty shillings in the pound,
it will include a scant number "of the class that used to be fond
of Parliamentary privilege for the sake of its immunities. The
new House may not be so baldheaded as the old one, but it will
be highly respectable.

“ Leicester-square will probably be improved and beautified
e.e long.” We wrote this two or three weeks back, but were
not then at liberty to state our reasons for belie\ing iu such a
renovation. Now everybody' knows that Mr. Albert Grant has
bought the property from Mr. Tulk, and intends to lay it out
like a French jdace, with fountains, (lowers, seats, and busts,
and to present it to London. The proposed operations have
commenced ; the hoardings have been cleared of all the (faring,
glaring brutalities of the theatrical and other placards, aud men
are at work with spades and barrows. Mr. Grant hopes, some
time in June, to sign, in the square itself, the deed of gift to
the metropolis. The idea of erecting busts of those eminent
men whose names are most associated with the square is a very
happy one, and four fitter men could uot have i»ceu selected.
Newton, Reynolds, Hogarth, lived close by, a:vd for years the
most interesting passages in Johnson’s life were corniertc .1'with
liis friend Reynolds’s house. The author of * London” Swell
merits all honour she can do him, though he dealt her out
somewhat rough justice.

Here malice, rapine, accident eonspir,-,

Anil now a rabble rages, now a tlrt* .

Tlreir ambush here relent!*)** rutiiam* lay.

Anil here the fell attorney prowls for prey :

Here falling liou-es thunder on your head.

Ami there a female atheist talks \ou dead.

We have somewhat improved since those lines were penned,
yet an illustration of, each of the evils complained of will occur
to most readers, which those who have literary memories will
remember how wonderfully Lord Macaulay availed himself of
the finishing couplet at the time of the catastrophe iu Totten¬
ham-court-road. But we may have more to say about
Leicester-square as the works advance ; in the mean time it is
but justice to record the liberal act by which Mr. Grant
will eo signally improve away a nuisance that had become a
proverb.

With no ordinary satisfaction we note that the Attorney-
General has been pronounced* to have been duly elected for
Taunton, and that the petitioners against him have utterly
failed, and have been mulcted in their cost3. It is true that
Sir Henry James is already out of his soat, and the whole
business runs excellent chance of being forgotten amid the din
of the general election. But none the less let it be set down as
matter for reference hereafter that it was sought, upon most
inadequate grounds, to deprive one of the most honest aud fifost
able of the younger servants of the Crown of the position he
had wen by etraightiorwardmeans, by independence, industry,
and courtage. \Y e hope that the electors will recollect all this
cn the day of ballot, and, by replacing Sir Henry in \ni seat,
w ill n-ake him some amends for the attacks to which he was
unwarrantably exposed.

The dissolution came in to do a great number of things, and,
among them, to dispose of a question that might have arisen,
had Mr. \\ bailey persevered iu his resolution uot to pay the
second and larger tine that was imposed upon him for contempt
of court. We.might have had privilege debates, aud a fiery
but constitutional battle like that in the days when the boot
was on the other leg, and the House of Commons

Voted the elderly Sheriffs to qno.L

Mr. Wh&JlfcV was fined £250 yesterday week. He declared
that he would not pay. The precise form of the denial seems
doubtful, but it was said to have been as emphatic a 3 it was
well possible to make it. His counsel, in answer to the Lord
Chief Justice’s “ What is that?” said that Mr. Whalloy would
pay —meaning, of course, that, on representation of "the cir¬
cumstances, he would come to a sense of the proprieties. But
the Lord Chief Justice considered that Mr. VVuailey himself
was m* st likely to know his intentions. In the end the
ex* member for Peterborough, being denied leave to make a
speech, w ent to Holloway Prison. One night there was enough,
though we doubt not that he was made very comfortable, j
Before the next night he was released ; but so, practically* was
the Parliament of which he was a fraction. However, we
suppose that the electors of Peterborough are “bound to hear ”
a good deni on the subject ; and perhaps those of Guildford
may r.<t be allowed to go to the ballot without some
illumination on the Tichborne case. Both Messrs. Onslow
and \N bailey wore fined for contempt in January list year, 1
and have, we think, purchased the right to make the mist
of their martyrdom.

BOOKS OF TItAYEL.

In these days of the Ashantee war, while Captain W. F.
Butler, again on the staff of his former commander, Sir Garnet
YVolseley, is doing good service ou the banks of the Prah, and
on the road to barbarian Coomassie, we receive with pleasure
the second book he has written about his North American
travels. In his first volume, The Great Lone Land, which
proved very interesting to a great many readers, this clever
and active officer told us of the journev undertaken by him,
after the military expedition to the Rea River in 1870, up the
couree of the river Saskatchewan to the Rocky Mountains. In
the autumn of 1S72 Captain Butler was again at the Red
River settlement, now called the province of Manitoba, inteut
upon a more arduous journey that way in the harder season,
and upon a sojourn of several winter months in the cold region
of Lake Athabasca. This purpose he achieved with success,
and in March of the next year passed through the Peace River
opening in the Rocky' mountains to British Columbia, where he
descended the Frazer River, in June, to the Pacific shore.
His present narrative of these experiences, related not less
agreeably than in the former instance, forms a new book
called The Wild North Land (Sampson Low, Marston, aud
Searlc). He met two friends, about the eud of October, at
the North Forks of the Saskatchewan, whose companionship
helped to cheer a part of the time, but minds and bodies of less
fortitude would have felt it a severe ordeal. A famous
Esquimaux dog, named Cerf Yola, wliioh lfad belonged to
Captain Butler when he was before in that part of the worl^l,
now followed the same English master once more, besides two
other dogs, and a small but faithful retinue of Indians or half-
breeds. There were horses, but the road was mostly travelled
on /oot, with some long distances by canoe voyages on the
rivers. Of the moose and the buffalo, and of the wild tribes
of men—Assineboiues aud Blackfeet, Crees and Chippeways.
and Beaver Indians—who roam the Wild North Land, Captain
Butler has much to tell us. His descriptions of the mountain
scenery' of British Columbia are very' striking. A map and above
a dozen engravings accompany’ the text.

We have lately' read with much interest aud satisfaction
another book which describes the same region of British North
America, now comprised within the Canadian Dominion. It is
entitled Ocean to Ocean , by r the Rev. George Grant, of Halifax,
Nova Scotia, who was travelling secretary to the railway sur¬
veying expedition of Mr. Sand ford Flemiug, chief engineer of
the Canadian Government, in the summer and autumn of 1872.
The projected Conadiau Pacific Railway, to connect the distant
provinces of British Columbia and Vancouver Island w’ith those
on tlie Atlantic side of the continent, had been made a condition
of their political uni on. We still hope to witness its realisation, in
spite of the financial and Parliamentary scandals that have oc¬
curred in this important colonial affair. Mr. Grant’s account of the
vast unoccupied tracts of fertile open land, along the Sas¬
katchewan, and about the Athabasca and Peace rivers, which
would be made accessible by the proposed line of railroad, is a
tempting prospect for speculators on the future agricultural re¬
sources of the British empire. But we can readily believe that
it would be too soon, as yet, for Mr. Joseph Arch and Mr.
Clay den just now to lead an emigration of our farm labourers in
that direction, a thousand or fifteen hundred miles farther west
than the Muskoka district, near Georgian Bay’, Lake Superior,
which has recently been discussed as a field of English settlement.
There can, however, he no doubt of the substantial value and
potential richness of the Saskatchewan country, and the testi¬
mony* w-e have lately received as to the comparative mildness
of its climate is highly encouraging. It ought to be generally
known that, owing to some exceptional causes—whether moist
warm winds from the Pacific, or a current of warm air under
the Ice of the Rocky Mountains, or the lower level aud gradual
slope of the entire land in this part of North America, the cli¬
mate of Fort Dun vegan, on the Peace river, is scarcely more
severe than that of the older provinces of Canada, which are
situated in latitudes from six to eleven degrees more south. A
veiy large portion, indeed, of the United States w estern terri¬
tories, consisting of elevated table lauds and unsheltered
prairies, would seem to bo less favoured, both in climate and
in soil, than the proverbial “fertile belt ” of the Canadian Far
YY est. YY o are also informed, on the best authority', that
in the mineral riches of British Columbia, a 3 well as those
of the northern shores of Lake Superior, to say' nothing of
forests and fisheries in the Pacific Ocean provinces of
this empire, her Majesty Queen Victoria, W’ith her liege subjects
of the Canadian Dominion, possess an undoubted heritage of
enormous worth. They need not grudge the American
Republic its vast extension in lower latitudes. The future
greatness of Canada is already well assured ; aud we commoud
the views of Air. Grant, as of C’aptaiu Butler, upon this
interesting subject to the attentive rejection of patriotic
statesmen.^ Mr. Grant's book is provided with several map 3 ,
and with sixty' illustrations, which are executed in a style that
resembles etching, and which reproduce the photographs of
scenery with very good effect. It is published by Messrs.
Sampson Low' and Co.

M e have a pleasant recollection of Mr. Andrew Leith
Adams, F.R.S., Staff Surgeon-Major, whose “ Wanderings of
a Naturalist in India ” came under our notice about six y'eara
ago. He now invites us to rejoin him in Now Brunswick and
Eastern Canada, where he was stationed with the 22nd
(Cheshire) Regiment from April, 1866, for a period of three
years. His book is entitled Field and Forest Rambles (H. S. King
and Co.). Iu those British American Provinces, as in the
M cstein Himalayas and Cashmere, his scientific curiosity' is
devoted chiefly to the animals of the country—the beasts,
birds, reptiles, and fishes ; but he is also a geologic, aud ho
takes note of climate and weather ; so that his book ia a pretty
complete account of the natural features and conditions of tha*t
peninsula, including Nova Scotia, which extends into the
Atlantic south of the great St. Law'rence inlet. It is a country
of such ready and speedy access from the British islands, and
bo firmly attached to the old connection, that we trust it will
hereafter he more intimately known to the majority of
English people. Though New Brunswick still remains, for
the most part, in the state of a fore.sk wilderness, and its popu¬
lation is very scanty, with few signs of pomp or fashion in its
wood-bunt cities of St. John and Fredericton, it seem 3 to be
a very respectable colonial province. Mr. Adams does not
conceal from us the less advantageous circumstances the
austerity of the climate, the hard and heavy labours of hus¬
bandry, and the slowness of its profit returns ; he does not

wan, and by the tourist who 'Jmriom in the kno^yledg^f
Unis * 1 ’»• *•. lorer of

fully into the discussion of these topics of local ornithology a id
its relations to different physical conditions. His notices of
the fishes, both those of the sea and those which invite t!i*
skill of our anglers in the rivers and lakes of North-East
America, will likewise prove acceptable to a certain number of
bis readers.

Tho adventures and explorations of Dr. Livingstone, th*
success of Mr. H. M. Stanley in finding him on the shorr. of
Lake Tanganyika, and the diplomatic victory of Sir Barth
Frere in persuading the Sultan of Zanzibar to stop tho slave
trade on that coast, have divided public attention with Sir
Samuel Baker’s discoveries and Egyptian conquests ou tU 3
Upper Nile. Tho Rev. Charles New, who was connected for a
short time, in March, 1872, with the abortive expedition u:il.. r
Lieutenants Dawson and Henn, sent out from England to search
for Dr. Livingstone and to supply liis wants, has lived nearly
ten years at several missionary' stations. He resided in Sua'iih
aud Unika, in the country of the Gallos, which is to the north
of these, and in other districts ly r ing between the shores of the
Indian Ocean and Lake Victoria Nyanza, or lower down, within
the third or fourth degree of south Latitude. His narrative
of Life, Wanderings, and Labours i/t Eastern Africa (Hodder
and Stoughton) is probably superior to most other books re*
cently published upon this topic, as an authority on some
material points of geography and ethnology, seeing that the
author has had greater opportunities of procuring the most
correct information than could have been obtained by a passing
traveller. The region, however, which Mr. New describes, in
tins eeries of narrative sketches, is not the same that has lieu
made known by' the travels of Speke, Grant, and Burton, and
is distant several hundr ed miles trom tho route of Mr. Stanley
to Lake Tanganyika. It is reached by the seaport of Mombasa
in lat. 4 deg. 8., near which place, at Ribe, a Christian mission
was established by Dr. Ivvapf, about thirty y’eara ago, and this
was taken up, in 1861, by the United Methodic Fred
Churches of England. Mr. New’s appointment to a share
in its labours has produced, among other fruits, the
present useful contribution to our knowledge of Africa,' with
some effectual testimony against the cruelties and iniijm'ties of
slave-dealing recently practised nt Zanzibar, and the hunting
and kidnapping of defenceless people among tho inland tribes!
Jt will be to the lasting disgrace of tho British Government and
nation if this atrocious system, which has now been solemnly
denounced, should be continued under any pretext whatever.
Mr. New gives a favourable account of Mombasa, the most con¬
venient port on the mainland, which at one time belonged to the
Portuguese. No real advance in civilisation is possible under
the corrupt Arab Government, but it is important to secure the
light application of such influence as our own national repre¬
sentatives may be enabled to use in that quarter. The nnrra-
tive of a visit to Chaga, and a survey of the grand mountain,
KiLima Njaro, perhaps the highest m all Africa— its summit
being covered, of course, with perpetual snow—is a chapter of
particular interest. Air. New’s sketch of this mountain wn

lent to us for an Engraving, which appeared in our pages before
his return 'to England. Several other illustrations, beaidw i

gave himself up.

THE FAMINE IN BENGAL.

“ Six hours’ soaking rain ” at Calcutta last Sunday w r as reported
by telegraph ; the quantity that fell is estimated at one inch iu
Bengal, but in Bchar somewhat less. This is said to be “ good
for water supply and ploughing, but bad for other than food
crops.” The meaning of such reports is not easily understood
here. There are four principal harvests in Bengal, viz. :—1. The
Aus (rice), sow n in April and reaped in August or September.
2. The Arnan (rice), sown in April to June, reaped November or
December. This is the principal harvest. 3. The Boro (rice),
sow'ii in October, reaped in March. 4. The Rabi (peas, pulses,
and green crops), sow*n in October, reaped in February. The
relative importance of these four harvests differ from place to
place according to local circumstances, and this, of course,
causes the importance of lain or drought in particular seasons
and at different places to vary. Again, the means of transport
from place to place differ widely in different parts of the
country. Some districts arc as easily accessible in all their parts
as an English county. Others are exposed (says Dr. Vv. \V.
Hunter) to the calamity of “that l«*cal isolation which in 1866
ieduced Orissa to the state of a dismasted ship at soa without
provisions.” So, too, “ several districts can only obtain sup¬
plies from without before the setting in of the monsoon ; others
are practically cut off during tho rains; while in many tho
rainy months greatly multiply the channels of transit.” Besides
this the normal prices ot food vary considerablyTn different
parts cf the country*. A rise of price in one district after the
winter haivest may have an entirely different moaning from tho
very same rise in a neighbouring district. Lastly, the population
of the different districts varies widely in its character. Some of
the classes of whom it is comjiosed are far more liable to starva¬
tion than others. Scino even thrive in famine years—as, for
instance, the fisheniun.

We are uow informed by the Calcutta telegrams that
fifteen districts of Bengal and the neighbouring provinces, con¬
taining 25,t!00,t)(. I 0 people, arc recognised to be in a distressed
audition ; but eleven of these districts, with a population of
II,Cfit‘,000, are said to he partiully affected. The relief works
u be undertaken at once by Government consist chiefly of
muds, but village works are to be commenced later. A grant
has been made lor emigration to Burundi. Sir George Campbell
recommends the prohibition of exports of rice from Bengal.

The sketch cf a Bengal villuge. which wo present a3 an
Illustration of this painful topic, was made by our far-travelled
Special Artist, Mr. W. Simpson. We have this week received
from the publishers (Messrs. Longman) a narrative of his recent
journey round the world, through China, Japan, and North
America, in a volume entitled “Meeting the Sun.” We ex¬
pect to find it a very interesting book, for tho author has fair
skill with the pen, as well as with the pencil; and hois a
zealous student of ajl Oriental antiquities, while he is an
acute observer of all those novelties winch the West has lately
introduced to the East. The volume is beautifully printed on
the finest paper, and is bound in a brilliant cover of yellow an4
red (the Imperial and the nuptial colours of China), with sym¬
bolic figures of the like mystical import, to remind us that Mr.
Simpson went to Pekin wr tho young Emperor's marriage in
October. 1872. About fifty of his sketches, including those of
the opening of the Suez Caual, and those of tho Modoc war in
Oregon or California, are hero reproduced from the Illustrated
Loudon Kites, by the hefiotype process. We feel sure that his
readers and ours will be glad to see them again iu this new
fonn of presentation. .

THE, ASHANTEE WAR.

We give several illustVntions supplied by the sketches of our
> j ccial Artist on the Gold Coast. One of them is a view of the
camp at Addah, near the mouth of the Volta, seventy* miles
cast cf Cape Coast Cattle. This camp was formed by Captain
Glover’s force of Houwsas mid other native auxiliaries. It is
described by* Mr. Henty, correspondent of the Standard, in a
letter of Dec. 20, from which some particulars may’ be cited.
The English officers with this force wore Captain Glover, R.N.,
special commissioner; Mr. < JokUworthy, assistant commissioner;
Captain IL Sartorius, Bengal cavalry*, assistant commissioner ;
Lieutenant Cameron, 19th Regiment; Lieutenant Barnard,
19th Regiment, signal officer ; Commander Larcom, R.N., naval
operations and lauding stores; Lieutenant Moore, R.N. ; Mr.
Blisse-tt, Control officer; Dr. Row*e, principal medical officer;
and Dr. Baile, R.N. The expedition possessed one steamer,
tho Lady of the Lake, capable of ascending the river and of
carrying troops, and three aimed steam launches. It had
two Gatling guns, four 7 lb. steel guns, and two 4^-iuch
howitzers. In addition to these it had rocket-tubes, and tho
launches were fitted with tubes carrying Inrge-sized rockets.
These, with a supply of muskets, accoutrements, and ammu¬
nition, were the British contribution to the expedition. The
native contribution consisted of men. At Jaukotty*, up near the
Ashnntce frontier, there was a purely’ native force assembled,
consisting at present of about 11,000 men. Of these King
Anea, of Aquopim, brought 3000 men ; King Atta, of Akim,
£(•(.0. These kings stipulated for pay* neither for themselves
nor their troops. They offered to put their wdiolo disposable
iVrcc iu the field, and asked only for a few hundred muskets to
complete their armament, some powder, and lead. These have
been supplied, and the services of other tribes w*ere paid
for at a fixed rate. The kings receive £10 per month for
every thousand men they* can bring into the field; the
chiefs receive 5s. a day. Fighting men receive 3d. per
day for subsistence, but no pay wliatever, w hile carriers receive
Is.* per diem. It was confidently expected that a strong native
army would follow* Captain Glover. At Addah, and upon the
march between that place and Agravie, were 1500 Addalis,
■4000 Accras, and COO Houssas and Yorubas. At Agravie,
fifteen miles up the river, were 1000 Accras ; and at Blapna,
twenty miles farther, were GOO Houssas and Yorubas, 3000
Aquapims, 1000 Crepnces, and 1000 Croboes and Shias. It was
in the latter part of October that Captain Glover left Accra,
acccmpruned by his Houssas and Yorubas, and by Kings Tannd
r.nd Solomon of Accra, the former being the sovereign poten¬
tate over the whole tribes of the Eastern Protectorate. The
kings promised that their warriors should follow* immediately ;
for in tliis country it is the custom for the king always to
start first w ith his body*-guard, and for tho fighting men to
come oat to them at their first encampment. Upon the present
occasion the example of their chiefs aid not excite the people
to action; and Captain Glover’s HonFsa force, having been
prevented from executing the proposed operations ou the
Volta, is to join that of Sir Garnet Wolseley, beyond the Prali.
in our view of the camp at Addah several conical mounds of
earth, ueaily six feet high, will be remarked in the foreground.
These rue the ant-hills, of which natiualists have often spoken
as common in West Africa and other tropical regions.

The Illustration of “Fresh Arrivals ” outside the north
gate of Car e Coast Castle needs but a word of explanation.
r I hose Mack fellows lolling on the bench, with the muskets laid
before them with which they are to be armed, are the Kossoo
allies of Sir Garnet Wclseley’s expedition. An English officer,
w ith tlointeipicter at Lb right hand, is making out a list of tho

servant-boy, standing in an attitude of attention, aud
seemingly much amazed, while his portrait is drawn by
his master's clever pencil. The scene of household muddle
inside a nativo cottage is not pleasant to look at; hut
some domestic interiors in the British Islands are almost

as bad in dirt and disorder, with the additional miseries of
cold and hunger, which the negro family are spared by the
bounteous tropical climate. The fetish tree, in a village
only a mile from Cape Coast Castle, is an institution
worthy of note. These poor heathen make a fetish or second-
rate god of anything that is at all out of the common—-a rock,
a stream, a serpent, or a plant of singular growth. Their priests
iucto9v*l the troo with a palisade oi sticks. The devout
worshippers come up with bottles of rum, which they empty
into the hollow space around the trunk of the tree. After
giving their deity m this way a good strong dose of their
favourite intoxicating drink, they cast in the bottles and Bay
i their prayers over the spilt liquor and broken glass. This re¬

ligious observance will certainly do them more good, body and
soul, than to drink the rum themselves, which is the ritual of
our English heathen. But when our Artist suggested that
some of the Fantees might, perhaps, taste a drop before help¬
ing the tree-god to the contents of the bottle, they were very
much offended, and thought him a wicked infidel. Once a
year, we are told by Dr. Gordon, the inhabitants of every vil¬
lage meet, with sticks and staves, with beating of tom toms and
blowing of horns, to perform the desirable feat of “driving
out the devil.” They chase him from all corners and through
all passages, visiting every house, till they are sure he has gone
away. But he very soon comes back, and the affairs of the
village arc as bad as ever.

MB. CARLYLE ON MODERN WORK.
The following letter from Mr. Carlyle to Sir .1.
Whitworth regaining the announcement ma to
some months ago of the latter’s intention to
supplement the savings of his workpeople by a
bonus upon them was read oil Monday night,
by the Hon. and ltev. W. H. Lyttelton, at a
meeting of the Stourbridge School of Apt : —

1 have beard of your offer on behalf of the
thrifty workpeople of Darley, and of the
thankful acceptance of it by the district autho¬
rities of the place. I oaunOfc resist the highly
unwonted desire that has risen in me to say till vt
I highly approve and applaud the ideas you have
on the subject, and to.declare in words that m
my opinion nothing wiser, more beneficent, or
worthy of your distinguished place as a master
of workers has come before me for many a year.
Would to Heaven that all or many of the cap¬
tains of industry in England had a soul in
them such as yours, and could do as you have
done, or could still further co-operate with you
in works and plans to the like eliect! The look
of England is to me at this moment abundantly
ominous. The question of capital aud labour
growing ever more anarchic, insoluble alto¬
gether by the notions hitherto applied to
it, i 3 pretty certain to issue in petro¬
leum one day, unless some other gospel than
that of the * dismal science ’ come to illuminate
it. Two things are pretty sure to me; the
first is that capital and labour never can or will
agree together till they both first of all decide
on doing their work faithfully throughout, and
like men of conscience and honour, whose
highest :dm is to behave like faithful citizens of
this universe, and obey the eternal command¬
ment of Almighty God who made them. The
second thing is that a sadder object than either
that of the coal strike or any considerable strike
is the fact that, loosely speaking, all Englau 1
has decided that the profitablost way is to do
its work ill, slimly, swiftly, and mendaciously.
What a contrast between now and, say, only one
hundred years ago ! At that latter date, or still
more conspicuously for ages before that, all
England awoke to its work with an invocation
to the Eternal Maker to bless them in their
day’s labour, and help them to do it well Now,
all England— shopkeepers, workmeu, all manner
of competing labourers—awakeu as if with an
unspoken but heartfelt prayer to Beelzebub—
* O, help us, thou great lord of shoddy, adul¬
teration, and malfeasance, to do our work witli
a maximum of slimness, swiftness, profit, aud
mendacity; for the devil’s sake ! Amen.’ ”

There was a reduction of 3s. 6 d. a ton in
the coal market on Monday.

It was unanimously resolved, at a apsuial

The A rmy and Xcirjj Gazette says that i Lionel
M'Neill, who has returned from the Gold Coast
in consequence of wounds, has been appointed
aide-de-camp on the .Staff of the Field Marshal
Uommancling-in-Chicf.

There was a groat demonstration at Black¬
burn, on .Saturday, in favour of the nine-hoars
movement, and among the influential persons
who gave the weight of their personal attend¬
ance and remarks were Mr. Mundelia, M. P.,
Mr. Sfcarkic, M.P., and Mr. Hargraves of
Accrington.

A book likely to prove useful to all classes
of readers who concern themselves with tire
line arts in anyway has just been published by
Messrs. Longman. It is the “ Dictionary of
Artists of the English .School” by Mr. -Samuel
Redgrave, who was joint author, with Mr.
Richard Redgrave, 11 A., of the “ Century
Painters of th.: English School” The present
volume, consisting of 473 closely-printed pages,
teems to lie & \vork of careful research and
correct statement, upon a very methodical and
convenient plan. It comprises the painters,
sculptors, and architects, engraver? on steel or
wood, or by other processes, and the orna¬
mental designers of every age who have lived
in iliis country, or who belong to its school,
including some <»f foreign birth, like Holbein,
Lely. Fuseli, Houbiiliac, and others. The
names of artists now living will not be found

t re, but. a memoir of Sir Edwin Landseer
wiw inserted, in its proper place, before the
l uldication of the volume. The memoirs are
oriti and concise, and show a fair and candid
spirit.

A meeting of the Shipwrecked Mariners’
Society was held at Hibcrnia-ohambers, London
Bridge, yesterday week—the president, the
Duke of Maillorough, in the chair. The
minutes having been read by the secretary,
Captain Symons, R.N., .on application was made
for a reward by Captain George Campbell, the
first and second mates, uud three of the crew
of the Garland steamer, for their gallant and
successful exertions in saving, on Dee. Id last,
during a strong gale and heavy sea, when
within a cable’s length of the rocks and u lee-
shore, near Loch Ryan, the master anl six
seamc-n of the disunited vessel John Slater, of
Barrow. It appeared that three attempts were
made, in which the steamer’s boat was badly
stove and rendered useless. The life-boat was
then launched, and after two hours, by it3
means, together with the boat of the John
slater, all bauds were taken out of the vessel,
and, in ten minutes after, the vessel, of 300 ton?,
struck the precipitous rocks, and the sea dashed
her to atoms as if she had been an orange-box.
The silver medal of the institution was
awarded to Captain Campbell and two guineas
each to his two mates, and one guinea each to
the three seamen who manned the life-boat.

DEATH OF DR. LIVINGSTONE.

We all feci a sincere regret for the loss of this brave and bene¬
volent lonely adventurer in the noble enterprise of finding a
way for Christian civilisation and European science through the
unknown wilderness of Central Africa. The mournful nows of
his death reached London on Monday, by a message from the
agent of the Eastern Telegraph Company at Aden :—'“ Living¬
stone died of dysentery, while travelling from Lake Bembe to
Unyanyembe. Body‘embalmed nud preserved in salt by his
Nassick boys, who are conveying it to Zanzibar, en route for
England.”

The usual meeting of the Royal Geographical Society was
[d on Monday evening. Sir Bartle Frere, the President, spoke

held <

of this report, lie said that it had occupied the thoughts of
the council that flay, and had caused them great pain for some
time. But he added that several members, who had every
right to speak with authority, had come to the unanimous
conclusion that soinethiug more than a doubt was thrown
upon the accuracy of this report. An hour or two later,
after the business of the meeting, which was the reading of
Lieutenant Julian Baker's account of Sir Samuel Baker’s late
expedition up the Nile, the President introduced Dr. John
Kirk, her Majesty's Consul-General at Zanzibar and on the
East Coast of Africa. Dr. Kirk said that when ho left
Zanzibar, on Sept. 13, rumours similar to that which had now
been published iu London w ere current in the bazaar of that
place. He had while there attempted to sift those rumours,
but did not think them worthy to be repeated. They amounted
to this—that an Arab trader had received a message from one
of his slaves that Livingstone’s body had been carried into
Unyanyembe, but the negro said that he had not himself seen
the body. Knowing how rumours grew in Africa, the additions
now made to the story were only what might be expected.
Captain Prideaux, the British political agent at Zanzibar, would
have been sure to forward at once any trustworthy statement.
Lieutenant Cameron, too, of the Livingstone Search and Belief
Expedition, must hava received the information, if it were true.
He could have come down to Zanzibar in less than a month,
and would undoubtedly have done so if there had been any
news of such importance as this. Dr. Kirk, therefore, believed
the rumour to be only the same which he had heard before
leaving Zanzibar, though it was now brought by a steamer
which left after his departure.

This opinion, having been accepted by the Royal Geo¬
graphical Society, was received on Tuesday morning, w hen it
appeared in the newspapers, with lively satisfaction. It w*as,
however, in the course of that day unhappily neuativod by
the bad news which came in an oJlict^shapb, as follows, from
her Majesty’s Acting Consul-General at Zanzibar:—

“The report of Livingstone’s death is confirmed by letters
received from Cameron, dated Unyanyembe, Oct. *20. He died
of dysentery, after a fortnight’s illness, shortly after leaving
Lake Bemba for eastward. Ho had attempted to cross the lake
from the north, and, failing in this, had doubled bock and
rounded the lake, crossing tue Chambeze and the other rivers
flowing from it ; had then crossed the Luapula, and died in
Ix)bisa, after having crossed a marshy country, writh the w ater
for three hours at a time above the waist. Ten of his men had
died, and the remainder, consisting of seventy-nine men, were
marching to Unyanyembe. They had disembowelled the body
and had filled it with salt, and had put brandy into the mouth
to preserve it. His servant, Chumas, went on ahead to procure
provisions, as the party was destitute, and gave intelligence to
Cameron, wlio expected the body in a few days. Cameron and
his party had suffered greatly from fever and ophthalmia, but
hoped to push on to Ujiji. Livingstone’s body may be expected
at Zanzibar in February. 1’lease telegraph orders as to dis¬
posal. No leaden shells procurable here, '

The following despatch is dated from Aden on Tuesday
last:—“ Dr. Livingstone died at the end of May or beginning
of June, between Lako Bemba and Lake Tanganyika, of
dysentery, caused by wading through water for several days.
His body has been preserved in nalt by his servants. ’When
Lieutenant Cameron wrote, <>n Oct. 22 , from Unyanyembe, the
body was expected to arrive in four day*. Lieutenant Cameron
was suiTering from temporary blindness. He intended to pro¬
ceed at once to Ujiji, to get Dr. Livingstone's papers.”

Confirmation of the intelligence has also been received by
Dr. Petermans, of Gotha, from Tlcrr Brenner, the African
traveller, now* at Zanzibar. The death of Dr. Livingstone took
p’ace, it is stated, on Ang. 15.

It is remembered how f , in the spring of 1867, a letter from
Dr. Kirk related the particulars of a statement made at Zanzi¬
bar by some men of the Johanna island, giving a circumstantial
account of the murder of Dr. Livingstone by the savages of
the Mafitc tribe, on the western shore of Lake Nyassa. The
late Sir Roderick Murchison, then president of the Royal
Geographical Society, refused to believe this story, and he
proved to be in the right. An expedition to search for Dr.
Livingstone, and to find his whereabouts, was sent out in the
same year, under Mr. E. D. Young and Mr. H. Faulkner.
They soon obtained evidence that Dr. Livingstone was alive
and still travelling at a much later date than the time
of liis alleged murder, and that the Johanna mgn
had run away from him, and had since invented the false
account of his death. But Dr. Livingstone had been seen by
no white man since he started from Zanzibar in March, 1866.
It was known that he went inland up the course of the
Uovurna, and that he was on the shores of lake Nyassa some
months afterwards. But it w as not then known that ho left
those parts at the beginning of 1867 for the region of Lako
-Tanganyika Three or four years more rolled on, and there
was no intelligence of his movements. A second expedition
was fitted out from England, mid er the command of Lien tenant
Llewellyn Dawson and lieutenant Henn, accompanied by
Mr. AY. Oswald Livingstone, son of the missionary explorer.
They arrived at Zanzibar in the early part of 1872, and lauded
on the neighbouring coast at Bagamoyo to pursue their journey
in search of Dr. Livingstone. But here they were met, on
May 7. by Mr. H. M. .Stanley, the special correspondent of the
: A r f to York Herald , w f ho had left the object of their solicitude,
in good health, at Unyanyembe, some fifty days' march from
the coast. He had found Dr. Livingstone on Nov. 3 of
the preceding year, 1871, at Ujiji, on the cast shore of Lake
Tanganyika. They had lived together during the winter, ex¬
ploring the northern coasts Of that great lake, and Dr. Living¬
stone Lad returned with him as far as Unyanyembe, half way
between the lake and the seacoast. It was in March, 1S72,
that Mr. Stanley and Dr. Livingstone took leave of each other.
At that time it was Dr. Livingstone’s intention to go back to
Ujiji, which, in fact, he did, for letters have since been received
from him; and thence to cross over, or go round the southern
end of Lake Tanganyika, to finish hia explorations of the more
westerly chain of lakes and rivers which he had discovered
flowing northward from the Chambeze and Lake Bangweolo.
The geographical problem which he desired to solve was°clearly
explained in an article we published on Aug. 24, 1872, with a
omap designed from the information supplied by Dr. Living¬
stone's most recent letters. Mr. Stanley’s book, ** Ilow l
Found Livingstone,” which appeared in November of that

ypar, adder! mnch to our knowledge of the countrv »“dnative
tribes between the seacoast and Lajie

gained no more knowledge; since that date, of tEdUteieoepe
nences of IJr. Livingstone in the remote interior. W e haie mrt
i et heard what became of him, or where he actually went, upon
his leaving Ujiji. some time after his return thither from ' 1 ' 8
parting with Mr. Stanley at Unyanyembe, m March, 1872.
The last letters from liim, if we mistake not, w'ere w*ntten
about midsummer of that year. Eighteen mouths have there-
fore passed without any positive news of Dr. Livingstone, till
we get the sail news of this week.

There can be no doubt, after this, of the fact 'which w*o
deplore ; and our Portrait of Dr. Livingstone, who has been
absent from his native country since 1858, will lie regarded
with affectionate pride by a multitude of English and Scottish
readers, who will naturally sorrow for his death. David
Livingstone was born in 1817, at East Kilbride, in Lanarkshire ;
his father w T as a small tcadealer. As a boy he worked in the
Blantyre cotton-mills, but studied, as the Scottish hoys often do,
and contrived to get his learning at the University of Glasgow*.
He resolved to become a missionary of the Christian religion to
the heathen, and intended at first to go to China. As a prepara¬
tion for this work he acquired a complete knowledge of medi¬
cine and surgery, and was admitted a liconciate of that faculty.
Having also gone through a theological course, lie was appointed
one of the agents of the London Missionary Society. The des¬
tined field of his activity was not China, blit South Africa,
wTiither he went in 1840. He there met the venerable Robert
Mofiat, and married his daughter. Livingstone remained
in South Africa sixteen years, dwelling far inland writh
the Bcchuana tribes, whom he instructed in the faith, tho
morals, and the useful arts of Christian Europe. In com¬
pany with Mr.. Oswald, he explored the interior, discovering
Lake Ngami ; and afterwards, between 1850 and 1854, ascended
the Upper Zambesi, traced the courses of its tributary streams,
and crossed the entire continent to the west coast, at St. Paul
rie Loanda. From that port, iu September, 1854, he returned
by another journey across the continent to tho east coast, at
Quilimane, where he arrived in the 6 pring of 1856. Dr.
Livingstone was in England in 1857, and received
many well-deserved tokens of public esteem. Early
in tho next year he went back to Africa, with a

Consular appointment from the British Government. He
led an expedition up the Zambesi and Shire rivers, wiiere a
Church Missionary station was founded by Bishops Mackenzie
and Tozer; but this had a disastrous result. The Lakes Nyassa
and Shirwa were also explored by Dr. Livingstone and those
associated with him before the end of 1864. He has during the
last eight years preferred to go alone, so far as the personal aid
and companionship of Europeans is concerned. We shall pro¬
bably find another opportunity of commenting upon the life and
character of this illustrious man, and upon the value of his
achievements, which we have often before acknowledged.

THE ROYAL MARRIAGE AT ST. PETERSBURG.

Our readers arc w'cll aware that the marriage of liia lloyal

Highness the Duke of Edinburgh to the Grand Duchess Marie,
only daughter of the Emperor of Russia, was solemnised yes¬

terday week, at Sfc. Petersburg, wi Hi a superb ceremonial and
courtly festivities, befitting the occasion. Illustrations of these
proceedings will he given next w'eek, from the sketches made
there by Mr. Proctor, the Special Artist who was sent by the
proprietors of this Journal to the Russian metropolis for that
purpose. In the mean time w*e present an Illustration of the
arrival of their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of
Wales at St. Petersburg, on Thursday, the 13th inst. ; aud one
of the grand yearly ceremony of blessing the waters of the
Neva. This was performed on Sunday, the 18th, in preseuce
of the Emperor Alexander II., the Prince of Wales, and Prince
Arthur ; Hie Duke of Edinburgh was confined indoors that day
by a cold.

The Priuce and Princess of Wales and Prince Arthur, who
had left Berlin by tho railway train at eleven on the Tuesday
night, travelling by way of Warsaw into Russia, arrived at .St.
Petersburg on the Thursday afternoon, at half-past two o’clock.
Their Royal Highnesses were received at the frontier by Russian
officers of high lank deputed by the Emperor, writh w hom was
the British Military' Attache to the Embassy. The Princes and
Princess were greeted at a station beyond Luga, more than
eighty-five milc 3 from St. Petersburg, by the Cza re witch ami
Czarevna, who had left the capital early in the morning by special
train. The Emperor Alexander II., accompanied by the Duke of
Edinburgh, the Grand Dukes Nicholas, Vladimir, and Constan-

cntrance of the palace, arrows the quay, to a pavilion >
at the edge of tho Dozen N,eva. There the er.** 1

dipped into the water where the ice had been WoW
the river received the benediction of the Metros;..

tine, and others of the Imperial family of Russia, w'ith the Ministers
and high functionaries of the Empire, received theEnglisb Princes

and Princess on the platform of the Warsaw railway' station.
His Majesty and the Frincc of Wales and Prince Arthur ex¬
changed the Royal kiss. The hand of the Ismailovki Regiment
played 4i God .Save the Queen” and “ God Bless the Prince of
Wales.” After greetings and introductions the Imperial and
Royal party drove from the station to the Anitchkotl Palace in
a number of close carriages ami sleighs. The broad streets w’ere
lined with people, anti, although there was not a London
crowd, there was a very good imitation of an English cheer as
the first carriage drow a way', containing only, the Czar and the
Prince of Wales sitting side by side. The other Princes aud
Princesses were in the carriages that followed.

The ceremony of tho benediction of the Neva w as performed
by Momdgnor Bash an of l, the Archbishop Metropolitan of St.
Petersburg, at eleven o’clock on the Sunday morning. 'There
was first a service in the Imperial chapel of the Winter Palace,
at which the Metropolitans of Novgorod, St. Petersburg, and
Moscow' officiated. The Czar, the Imperial family', and the
foreign Princes w j ere present; and the diplomatic circle, the
Ministers of State, and the nobles and officers of the Russian

army and navy, to the number of about 2000 , filled the chapel
ami the saloon and corridors of the Winter Palace. The service

indoors lasted an hour, and waa solemn and splendid. The tine
singing and recitative of the Russian ritual, the rich robes of
the dignitaries, the pomp of silken embroidered banners, of
colden crosses and jewelled cuds, tho long curling hair and
dignified countenances of the Metropolitans and Bishops, of the
priests and choristers, made the ecclesiastical part of tho
ceremony very gorgeous and impressive. To this was added
the magnificence of a thousand uniforms. A better oppor¬
tunity for witnessing tho lavish splendour of the cere¬
monies at the Winter Palace could not have been had than the
passage of the Emperor, the Imperial family, the foreign
Princes, the clergy, and the Court, out of the palace to the
riverside. The mass and colour of the great procession as it
descended the grand staircase and traversed the corridors
between lines of soldiery presenting arms was magnificent.
T he clergy' walked first, with the choir of the Imperial chapel
carrying candles and censers and singing verses. Alter the
Metropolitans and their cross-bearers and attendants there was
* break m the line, and then followed the Czar, the Prince of
Wale*, Prince Arthur, the Grand Dukes, and all the Court,
walking bareheaded. Lastly ame the flags of the re-imeuts
carried by soldiers. The procession passed out of the river

the river received the ncmmctiou oi the -MetropofiiJ 84
the thunder of the guns «»f the fortresses of St
St. Paul. Then followed a sendee of singing ami chauti
and next the colours of the regiments w'ere blessed. Th t
the Grand Duke, and others kissed the baud of the Mekong'
and the procession returned to the palace as it came, fin-
of Wales and the Czorewitch walking near the Czar, a
was kept clear on the quay, but the crowd pressed clis/jr
women holding their children up to sec the Emperor
Majesty paused before entering the palace, l>owing ;md I«xilS2‘
towards tho surging bareheaded masses of his people,
Emperor and the Court having returned to the great <1^
room, the colours of the regiments were presented, leuide nbt
ing the regimental air as each ling was brought. Thy **
stairways, and saloons were kept by the splendid fij?
cuirassiers and infantry of the Guard, aud sailors were<w
up in squadrons and companies on tho parquet llcou. ‘n
Emperor aud Princes walked rapidly round the fine* ♦£
Imperial salutation of “Health hi y ou !” being returnedhya)
troops speaking all together, according to the Russian najS
form. The ceremony was followed by a dejeftner, tableau
several grand saloons being spread with the splendid jirofmjj-
for which the Winter Palace is famous.

The Duke of Edinburgh's wedding-day was made tht ocea
sion of public festivities in most provincial towns of (j™
Britain. In London there was not so much (lone; Royal sah^,
w ere fired at one o’clock in St. James’s Paik and at tliy Toner
Lord Granville gave a grand dinner; there was a
religious service at the Russian chapel in Welbeck-street, aP
at night the Russian Embassy in Cheshant-pUce was Lrightlr
illuminated ; bo w'ere the clubs and shops of leading Weet-Et^
tradesmen. Our three Illustrations arc from Windsor, JgS
burgh and Liverpool.

At Windsor the bells of St. George's Chapel and the painfc
church rang merry peals during the day, the town was decked
with flags, and the Royal standard floated from the flagstaff on
the Townhall. Royal salutes were fired in the Long Walk b
the Royal Bombardier, and at Fort Belvedere and at Yirgnrij
Water. At St. George’s Chapel, in the afternoon, a ppycj.il
anthem, composed by Sir George Elvey, w as sung in comment
ration of the Royal wedding. On relieving the castle guard in
the morning, the band of the Grenadier Guards played the
march, “ Haste to the Wedding,” and afterwards the hussar,
national air. In the evening Prince and Princess Christian W
a dinner party aud musical entertainment at Cumbcrhuni :
Lodge.

At Liverpool the principal public buildings and places cf
amusement, together writh the ships in the river and tne dock?,
were decorated with flags and burning The bells of the pariah
churches also rang merrily nnd salutes w « re fired at noon ami
at night from the guard ship Caledonia. There was also a dis¬
play of limelights and rockets from the Caledonia during tlio j
night. The May'or of Liverpool, with his characfiristic
munificence, chose to celebrate this joyful occasion in the good
old English fashion, by giving a dinner to the poor. Hu
Worship is Mr. A. B. Walker, whose portrat wo lately

at the cost of £20,0 00. He now' invited about rare*? thousand
of the deserving poor of Liverpool to din® at tho St.
George's Hall. The hall, spacious at it is, waa not j
enough to entertain all the guests on one evening, wul I
therefore the Mayor divided them into two parties, alwmfc *
1301) poor men and women (over sixty) being assembled uu
Friday evening and the same number on Saturday evening.
The fare consisted of roast beef, plum-pudding, with leer, tea,
fruit and cakes ; the old folks, to the majority of whom, no
doubt, a full meal of choice and wholesome rood was a raw
luxury, appeared to enjoy themselves thoroughly. Hie evening
was filled up writh speeches, glees, performances by Mr. Best
on the grand organ, and instrumental performances by the local
police band. Mr. Clarke Aspinall (Borough Coroner), who
ably' and most zealously seconded the Mayor in the arrange* ,
inents for the banquets, rend an extract from the Queen’s pub*
fished work, describing her Majesty's interviews and kindly ;
relations w ith the old w omen in the neighbourhood of Balm<>rd.
The reading appeared greatly to interest the female gucit?.
The Mayor invited a considerable number of the leading rid*,
dents of the town to witness the entertainments.

At Edinburgh there w as a noonday* banquet, or luncBtoii,
in the Council Chambers. The Lord .Provost entertains! ita
company, amongst whom w*ere the Duke of Bucclouch, Uilyj

A telegram, to congratulate his lloyal Highness, was sent!
the illustrious bridegroom at »St. Petersburg. A meeting
held in tho Corn Exchange, and resolutions to the Bainc cfW
w'ere passed. The evening of that day saw a most beaut
sight, like that which was displayed at the marriage of
Prince of Wales. Edinburgh Castle and the tall houses of >■
Old Town, along Castle Hill, the Lawnmaiket, the High-stm
and Canongate, crowning the lofty ridge, a mile in length, tk
stretches from the Castle down to Holyrood, were splecfe
illuminated on the side overlooking the valley of the Pristy
street Gardens, the Mound, the North Bridge, and 1 *?

House bore a lieautiful series of crystal transparencies. In the
line of Rrince’s-street one of the most beautiful objects was the
Royal Institution, outlined by several hundred opal lamps. In
Georee-street the vistas east and west were closed by St.
George's Church and Melville’s Monument. The facade, dome,
and lantern of the one and the stately pillar of the other were
bung with white lamps. At an early hour in the evening a
bonfire, consisting of fifteen tons of railway sleepers soaked in
tar, was lit on the summit of Arthur’s Seat, ami told the
district for fifty miles round that Edinburgh was rejoicing. On
the brow of Salisbury Crags coloured fires burnt at intervals.
Within the city the same mode of intermittent illumination was
hero aud there adopted with much effect. The streets continued
crowded until a very Late hour, but the evening happily passed
without accident.

THE DISSOLUTION.

Seldom, if ever, has the word surprise been multiplied on a
nation's lips as it was on that day of eccentric memory, Saturday,
Jan. 24, 1874. On that morning unconscious England woke

and found itself in the throes of a dissolution of a Parliament
which it had been anticipated would have ilied peaceably in
the penultimate year of its so-called natural life. In general
Mr. Gladstone has a.knack of defying prediction and putting the
camps of the political projects to confusion, but in this instance
he has outdone himself. We have the testimony of one sub¬
ordinate member of the Ministry that there was not a more
astonished man in the country than himself on that eventful
momim', and it has leaked out that two heads of departments
went to Downing street to the Cabinet Council with their port¬
folios full of special measures of their own, unwitting of what
was to occur. In imagination an amusing picture might be
drawn of that Cabinet iuterior when suddenly the Prime
Minister—doubtless in an imperative, perhaps imperious,
manner—gave to two thirds of his colleagues, innocent of what
was coming, the alternative of dissolution or resignation.
There was no choice between unanimity aud dispersion as a
Government, and of course they were unanimous. Then
perhaps, were distributed amongst them copies of that
manifesto which was addressed, with a sort of comical
incongruity, to the electors of Greenwich—an experiment
upon a not very distinguished body— which proclaimed J
a policy, and contained at least one election cry. J he late
Parliament was chosen on the cry of “Gladstone and the
abolition of the Irish Church ! ” Now it is “ Gladstone and
the abolition of the income tax 1 ” Always abolition ! It is
apparent, from that “ prolix narrative ” which was to go through
Greenwich to the rest of the country, that the Prime Minister
lias never recovered the check he received last year on the
Irish University Bill; he chafed at finding that he was not
ever to go forth conquering and to conquer; and that, in
his estimation, his party in the House of Commons had becomo
no better than a “ rabble rout.” There is hut one way to deid
w-ith Parliamentary rebels, and that is to make them undergo
the quenching process of a dissolution ; and it remains to be seen
what taming effect will be the result cm those who return to
the House after passing through that ordeal. If Mr. Gladstone
sets a compliant and ductile majority, there is scarcely a
subject on which he will not lay his reforming bauds. Local

1_™3m\alion- ml*. Srzuuihino, Universities,

land Jaws, game law's, liquor laws; and, when all these and
more have been dealt with, perhaps an attempt will be made
to solve that problem w’hich has hitherto defied all efforts—
squaring the circle.

Probably it would be as easy to move the sculptured Sphinx
as to startle Mr. Disraeli ; but even l\e may have uttered what

J ieople used paradoxically to call a mental ejaculation, when he
icard tho new's of the Ministerial coup-d’etat. The manifesto
of the Prime Minister follow ed immediately after the appeal of
the leader of the Opposition to his friends to be in their places on
tho day of the meeting of Parliament, and an air of ridicule was
thus cast on the proceeding, for he had practically addressed a
non-existent body. But the unkindest cut of all was that the
pre-sa sional dinners of the leaders of the Opposition, w hich had
oeen ordered, had to he stayed almost at the moment of gastro¬
nomic projection. The climax of aggravation being thus
attained, Mr. Disraeli had to produce his manifesto, aud he did
go, evidently with all the bitterness of his whole heart and
spirit. His address to the electors of Buckinghamshire, saving
the absence of diffusencSsS, might be taken for a report of one of
bis speeches. Personality, phrase-making, epigram, sarcasm,
underlaid with quiet humour and audacity, are its charac¬
teristics. Every word is “Gladstone,” just as it is told of a
celebrated speech of the first Pitt, that “every word was
Murray.” He assumes that Mr. Gladstone’s primary motive
for dissolving is his dread of incurring pains and penalties for
n fresh violation of Constitutional law in retaining for several
months a seat in Parliament to which he was no longer entitled.
As to the greater part of the declaration of Ministerial
policy, it is in a manner said to be another instance of
that which Mr. Disraeli hirnBelf once described as a
politierd party finding their opponents bathing anti stealing
their clothes, for it is exactly that which the Conserva¬
tives have always professed, and which therefore could
have been earned out by them a3 well as by Mr.
Gladstone. Awfully ominous is he on “adjustment of tax¬
ation,” which, in his view, means “increase but, perhaps, in
no part of liis prolusion is he more severe on the enormities of
tlie Ministry than on their having committed an act of ignorance
or folly in relinquishing a treaty which secured to England the
freedom of the Strait of Malacca. Probably this is not know n
to the country generally, but now it will doubtless be used
w-ith tremendous effect during tho elections, anil perhaps the
Conservatives could have no more thrilling cry than the
“ freedom of the Strait t»f Malacca.” Having stigmatised the
Prime Minister’s state paper‘as a “ prolix narrative,” the leader
of the Opposition indorses that illustration by being con¬
temptuously brief in his own ; but it is a concentrated sneer
and a direct defiance.

It may be that Mr. Disraeli did not consider that Mr. Lowe
had not published his address t o his constituents of the Uni¬
versity of London ; but probably he will not lie astonished or
very much discomposed by the fact that that document is a
dc term in ate rejoinder to his reply to the Prime Minister. 1 he
Home Secretary has put forth his power of retort
without sparing, and in a style which is curiously
coincident with his mode of speaking; he, in a few
incisive sentences, tells the history of Mr. Disraeli s political
career; and. as regards his solemn assertions in his address,
adroitly manages—to use a Castlereaghian phrase—to make
him turn his hack upon himself. The acme of sarcasm is
reached when Mr.’ Lowe treats of Mr. Disraeli as a finance
minister ; and tho sneer is supreme when he talks of that
gentleman's “never having indulged in the luxury of a con¬
siderable surplus of his own—is perfectly welcome to an imagi¬
nary appropriation of the accumulation of others.” Looking
a t the matter of Mr. Lowe’s statement generally, it is not im¬
probable that Mr. Disraeli may be chuckling over the idea that
ltis enemy has written an address ; and when that review of
the Ministerial position in the House, which is inevitable,

comes, he will not forget that Mr. Low’© has always been Ins
favourite Idte noire, and act accordingly. Especially it may be
opined that he will revel in comment on that mysterious
sentence with w’hich Mr. Lowe concludes his address, and
demand to know what occult meaning is hid in the words “ The
night comes upon all, but we will not draw the curtain while it
is yet day.”

As regards the general ruck of memberdom, there was in
the first (lays of the crisis confusion, and doubtless a great
deal of astonishment and x>erhaps some irritation. The
“fiery cross” w T hich ran through the country found most
of them in a state of unpreparedness; many were far
from the places of their representation; others were slowly
wending their homeward way, proposing to be just iu
time for the 5th of February ; and intending candidates
found themselves in a state of half - organisation. It
must be said th it, on the whole, the emergency has been
energetically met. Between Saturday morning and Monday
night an amount of electioneering business was done that was
marvellous, and very much was known about who was going to
stand and who was going to retire. Hardly ever, ii at all, was
an election so suddenly entered upon ; and in the contracted
space of fifteen or sixteen days the operation of creating ane w
a branch of the Legislature will have to be performed, it will
lie a great feat, though many will be the chances and “ flukes,”
and it is not unlikely that there will be numerous “ scratch ”
returns.

MUSIC.

Some important performances, adverted to last week, took
place too near tlie close thereof to admit of notice until now'.

On Thursday evening the British Orchestral Society opened
its second season with a programme of strong interest^ in the
instrumental selection, which included Beethoven s ‘ Lroica ^
symphony, Sir W. Stenulale Bennett’s overture, “Les Naiades,
that by Cherubini to liis opera, “Les Deux Journees, a new
saltarello (for orchestra) by Mr. J. Hamilton Clarke, and
Mozart’s concerto for two pianofortes, performed by Miss
Linda Scates and Mr. Walter Mactaricn. The line band of
seventy-five performers—including Mr. Carrodus as principal
violin, and many other of our best instminentalists, conducted
bv Mr. George Mount— gave good effect to the orchestral music.
Mr. Clarke’s new r piece is skilfully scored, and possesses the ani¬
mation proper to the character implied by its title. It was greatly
applauded, and the composer was called on at the conclusion.
Miss Scatcs, in the leading part of tlie double concerto, displayed
that neatness of mechanism and refinement of style which have
before been commented on iu noticing her public performances.
This young lady is one of the many excellent pianists who have
benefited by the advantages offered by the Royal Academy of
Music under its present Principal, Sir W. S. Bennett. ihe
vocal pieces at the concert referred to were Mendelssohns
seena, “ Infelice,” finely sung by Mias Edith Wynne ; the air
(with recitative), “l dreamt I was in heaven, from Sir M.
Costa’s “ Nnamau ; ” and the cavatina, “ Fac ut portem, from
Rossini’s “Stabat Mater,” expressively given by Miss Augusta
Roche. Previous to the concert the orchestra played the
National Anthem and the Russian liymn, in compliment to the
I Duke of Edinburgh, who is the patron of the society.

On Friday evening (last week) an interesting revival
took place — Dr. Crotch a “Palestine” having then been
performed by the Sacred Harmonic Society. # Tlie com¬
poser attained high eminence in his day, and justified it
by his special and general acquirements, practical and
theoretical, and by some music which has too ^ long been
ignored, among which the oratorio *’ Palestine ” is the moat
important. Dr. Crotch was born in 1775, and attracted public
attention as a juvenile prodigy when only four years old. Ho
took his degree of Doctor of Music at Oxford in 1799, and sub¬
sequently became known as a lecturer on music at the Royal
Institution. On the establishment of the Royal Academy of
Music, in 1822, Dr. Crotch was appointed principal. His
oratorio “Palestine” w'as produced in 1812, the text having
been selected by himself from Bishop Helper’s poem. As an
ardent admirer of Handel, it is not surprising to find frequent
reflections of that composer in Dr. Crotch’s oratorio. These,
however, are rather indications of the chief sourco of his studies
than plagiarisms — power and individuality being sufficiently
manifested to render the oratorio a work of permanent interest.
Grandeur, science, and beauty are alternately displayed in the
choral WTiting, a great impression having been produced by the
movements entitled “Reft of thy sons,” “O, happy once,”
“Let Sinai tell,” “Hence all his might,” “When the harp
awoke,” “Nor vain their hope,” “ Daughter of Sion,” and the
concluding “Halleluiah.” Of the soprano solos (sung by
Madame Lemmenp-Sherrington) the principal are the airs
“Triumphant race,” “ In frantic converse” (with chorus),
“ E’en they who dragged,” and “ No more your thirsty rocks,”
The tenor airs W’cre given with much effect by Mr. Cummings,’'’
especially “But uow thy sons” (with chorus). “Did Israel
shrink,” and “ Veugeance, tby fiery wing ” Some of the must
important solo plena are for bays (originally snug by the cele¬
brated Bartlernan), and these were very finely given by Signor
Agnesi, particularly the airs, “For theo his ivory load” and
“But who is ho. The beautiful quartet “ Lo star-led
chiefs” (which was lone a favourite extract from tlie oratorio)
again pleased, as it always must, by its melodious grace.
Two other quartets. “Be peace on earth” and “Then on your
tops,” are also noticeable, as likewise is an effective sestet,
“ Lo I cherub bands” (in which Mr. Carter was a serviceable
second tenor) ; the remaining concerted piece for solo voices
being a well-written duct, “ Such the faint echo,” for tho
principal soprano and tenor. Miss Ellon Home, as second
soprano, and Miss Julia Elton, as contralto, rendered efficient
aid iu various portions of the solo music. For an English
work of its date the orchestral writing is very full aud elabo¬
rate, the brass instruments being used, indeed, in occasional
excess. Probably in this latter- respect the score has been
“ improved ” for the recent performance, which w as conducted
by Sir Michael Costa, Mr. Willing having presided at the organ,
as usual. The oratorio was preceded by the National Anthem.
“ Elijah ” is to be given by the society on Feb. 6.

Simultaneously with the concert of tho Sacred Harmonic
Society at Exoter Hall, the Wagner Society w'as giving the
third concert of its second season at St. James’s Hall. The
programme on this occasion presented, for the first time, tho
specialty of choral extracts from three of Wagner’s operas—
“ Die M eistersingcr von Nurnberg,” “ TannhatUer,” and “ Der
Fliegende Hollander.” From the first the extracts were tho
two chorales (from acts i. and ii.), the second of which was
encored; the selections from “ TntmbaUser ” having been the
Shepherd’s Song (sung by Mdlle. Gaetano) and Chorus of
Pilgrims, the chorus at the end of the third act, and the
Reception of the Guests and grand march from the second act
The last-named opera furnished six specimens — the overture,
the Pilot’s Song (sung by Mr. Bernard Lane), with chorus,
Senfcn’s legendary ballad, “ The Phantom Ship ” (by Mdlle.
Gaetano), the “ Spinning Chorus,” the duet between Seuta and
the Flying Dutchman (Mdlle. Gaetano aud Signor Gustave
Garcia), and the Chorus of Sailors. The newly-associated

choir s ng with good effect in som; instances, and will, no
doubt, be still more efficient when better acquainted w»th a
difficult style ot music that is probably new to many of the
choristers. The Waguer selection was preceded by Schubert's
“ Ungarischer Marsch ” and “Reiter Marseh, instrumented
by Liszt. Mr. Dannreuther conducted as usual. Hie next
concert wall take place on Feb. 18, when a copious selection-
orchestral, solo, and choral—will be given from Wagners
“ Lohengrin,” besides pieces by other composers.

Last week’s Saturday Concert at the Crystal Palace brought
forward a symphony of Haydn’s, which hacl not previously been
given there, and a concerto for tlie orgau (with orchestral
accompaniments) performed for the first tone, ihe foriner^(in
the key of E minor) is a comparatively early work (about 17 *0),
with much of tho grace and power which distinguish the com¬
poser’s later productions of the kind, ami containing a masterly
minuet in canon. The coucerto is a new work by Mr. Henry
Gadaby, several of whose orchestral pieces have been success¬
fully produced at these concerts. In the fresh essay now
referred to Mr. Gadsby has been equally successful. It is
written with good command of general effect; and special, prac¬
tical knowledge of the solo instrument. It was finely played
by Dr. Stainer and greatly applauded, the composer having
been called on. Another novelty at Saturday’* concert was a
movement from a string quartet by Veit, some clever varia¬
tions on tho Russian national hymn, admirably played by all
the stringed instruments of the orchestra. Weber s “ Jubilee'
overture and Beethoven’s third “ Leonora overture completed
the instrumental selection, vocal pieces having been contributed
by Madame Otto-Alvsleben aud Signor Agnesi.

The Seventh subscription concert of the Royal Albert Hall
Choral Society, oil Thursday w'eek, consisted ol performances
of Mendelssohn’s “Hymn of Praise” (" Lobgesnng”) and
Rossini's “Stabat Mater,’’ an association offering a strong con¬
trast between works bclongiug to very opposite schools, and
each a masterpiece. Tho choruses wore finely sung by tho
gigantic choir, the solo vocalists ol tho evening having been
Madatue Coraui, Misses Sterling ancl Weale, Mr, ‘ ummings,
aud Siguor Agnesi. Mr. Barn by conducted and Dr. Stainer
presided at the organ.

This w r eek’s Monday Popular Concert included the per¬
formance, for the first time, of a pianoforte quartet by Brahms,
op. 25, in G minor, a work, that immediately preceded that iu
A major, which has several times been given at these concerts,
with w hich it may fully compare in merit, with the advantage
of somewhat le-.a diffusuiiess. Mr. Halid, who was the pianist,
was also heard in unaccompanied solos and in a sonata of
Bach, for piano and violin, with the co-operation of Madame
Nonnan-Ndruda, who was the leading violinist in the quartets.
Miss Jessie Jones and Mdlle. Reimer w T ere the vocalists, aiul
Mr. Zerbini was the accompanist.

The Manchester papers report the complete success of Mr.
G. A. Maefarren’s oratorio “ St. John tho Baptist,” which w'as
performed there on Thursday w'eek, conducted by Mr. Charles
Halle, as at the original production of the work at last year’s
Bristol festival, and with the aamo solo-singers—Mesdames
Lemnieus-Skerrington and Pafcey, Mr. E. Lloyd, and Mr.
Sant ley. As already mentioned, tlw oratorio is to be given in
London during the present season of the Sacred Harmonic
Society.

The Royal Albert Hall Orchestral Society is to give the first
private concert of its new suumu this (Saturday) evening, when
the selection will comprise Mozart’s symphony iu E fiat and tho
.overtures to “ Masaniello,” “ Fidelio,” and “Haydite.”

The death of Madame Parepa Rosa—which took place on
tho morning of Thursday week—puts an end to the scheme of
the English opera performances announced to commence at
Drury Lane Theatre, on March 2, under the direction of the
lady’s husband, Mr. Carl Rosa; tlie co-operation of the de¬
ceased singer, as prima donna, having been an all-important
feature in the undertaking, which included the production of
Wagner’s “ Lohengrin,” with Madame Bare pa-Rosa as Elsa.
The premature death of this highly-accomplished and versatile
artist is a real loss to the musical public, as well as a grief to
the large circle of relatives .and friends by whom she was
loved and esteemed. We intend to give a portrait of Madame
Parepo-Rosa next week, until when we reserve some particulars
of her career.

THEATRES.

The managements of the present day are indefatigable, and in
their endeavours to force business anticipate the usual period
of changes, and vary their bills in u most unexpected maimer.

The Olympic revived, on Monday, Morton’s pleasant drama
of “All that Glitters is Not Gold.” Miss Fowler made the bus*
of her opportunity to perform Martha Gibbs, aud gave a most
excellent interpretation of tlie part—so true to nature that art
may be said on this occasion completely to have coueealed art-

At the Globe also we have had another version of “ Lr
Reveillou,” of MM. Meilhan and llaievy, under the title ol
“ Committed for Trial.” This time the work has been (loneby
Mr. Latour Tomline, who lev differed from the original in
many instances, and it lie had done so in as many more would
have rendered the result still more acceptable to our conven¬
tional public. Tho whimsicality of the incidents has, however,
been preserved, and the audience are thrown into a merry mood
which ensures the cordial reception of the play to the end.
The performance is remarkable for having introduced Mr.
Arthur Cecil to the regular boards. He sustains the ‘character
of Jonathan Wagstaffe, the name of the individual who is
arrested lur taking a policeman's number, an act which
initiates all the tunny situations which form the main interest
i of the piece. Notwithstanding the impropriety of many of
these, trie now version of " Le ReVcillou ” is likely to ljocomo
popular. We may mention that the recent performance of the
original at the Holbom by tbe Freucli company lias been very
successful.

Ou Saturday the comedy of “John Bull” was again per¬
formed at the Gaiety, with Mr. Phelps m the part ol Job
Thmubury and Mr. loole Brnlgruddery. The part of the
Hon. Tom .bhuffleton, however, had not tlie advantage of Mr.
Charles Mathews, but the character was excellently well sus¬
tained by Mr. H. J. Montague, the much-esteemed lessee of
the Globe. Mr. Hermann Vtezin achieves distinction in
Peregrine, and Mr. Lionel Brough is great in the small part
of Dan. The important rOle of Mary Thorn bury was admirably
filled by Miss Carlisle; Miss Leigh made a capital Mrs.
Brulgrudilery ; and Miss Eleanor Buftpn, as Lady Braymore,
played with "appropriate vivacity and dash.

Tho Swiuey Prize of the Society of Arts, consisting of a
silver goblet, value £100, containing gold coin to the same
amount, has been awarded to the lvignt Hon. Sir Robert J.
Phiilimore, Judge of the Court of Admiralty, for his work
entitled “Commentaries on International Law.” The prize is
given under a bequest of the late Dr. Swiney, and is awarded
every fifth anniversary of his dentil to the author of the best
published treatise on jurisprudence.

ROYAL INSTITUTION LECTURES.

RES KMPLANCK OF ANCIENT AND MODERN LIFE.
Professor P. Martin Duncan devoted his secoud lecture on
Palaeontology, on Thursday week, the 22nd inst., to explaining

1 . . . . ^ M • . . 1 ^ t .. . . ,— «• k . . 1 .l.tffl t I L' I lAtl 1 1 V «

how resemblance in form .and anatomical details between ex¬
tinct and existing animals is suggestive of life under similar
external conditions. Palaeontology made but slight progress
until geology and comparative anatomy rose to the dignity of
inductive sciences. This was promoted greatly by Hutton's
system of geological reasoning, which insisted upon uniformity
and continuity in the operations of .Nature, past and present,
and which excluded all causes not supposed to belong to the
present order of things from arguments respecting the past,
fey this the study of tTie organic remains of the olden time was
much enlightened, and William Smith, the author of our first
geological survey, showed how certain strata may be recog¬
nised by the organic remains found in them. Cuvier also, as a
eomptrativo anatomist, did not hesitate to ascribe the same
method of life and external conditions to fossil forms and to
those they most resemble in existing nature. After illustrating
this opinion by the history of an opossum-like animal found by
Cuvier in the gypsum of Paris, Profe.-aor Duncan commented
on the bearings upon the question afforded by the great fauna
(so characteristic of the Africo-Indian province) found by
Falconer and Cautlcy in the sub-Himalayas. Keeping in view
the opinions respecting the relations of resemblance in form
and structure, aud the surrounding conditions of life, the
physical geography of the cliloritio or green-sand series and
the white chalk was worked out by the discussion of the nature
and peculiarities of modern ami ancient simple or deep-sea
corals and compound or reef corals. Jt was shown that in the
cldoritic age there were reefs with all the necessary conditions
of temperature and sea in the area of the West Indies, Southern
India, North Africa, the south-east of France, and even in the
high latitude of Salzburg. The subsidence of these localities,
and the encroachment or overlap of the deep-sea deposits, were
explained, as well as the manner in which deep-sea corals
flourished in water of low* temperature over the buried reef
corals. The illustrations comprised diagrams and specimens.

DISCOVERY OP PERFECTLY PARALLEL MOTION.

Professor Sylvester, M.A., F.R.S., at the Friday evening
meeting on the 23rd inst., gave a discourse on some recent dis¬
coveries in the mechanical conversion of motion. In his intro¬
ductory remarks he explained that in all previous parallel
motions, including Watt’s, the head of the piston-rod of a steam-
engine describes a figure of eight, and not a straight line; and
he stated that several of the most eminent mathematicians had
tried hard, and failed in the endeavour, to invent an arrange¬
ment of link work connecting the piston-rod with the beam of
the steam-engine, so that the former should move at each point
of its path Btrictly in the direction of its own length, which
cannot occur unless every point in it describes an accurate
straight line. A French engineer, M. Peaucellier, however, has
solved the problem, by many deemed impossible, and some time
ago made a discovery of very great importance in practical me¬
chanics, which, till the present time, has not received the atten¬
tion it merits. Diagrams and apparatus were exhibited illus¬
trating this invention : first, a four-sided figure, a jointed
rhomb or diamond, to two angles of which a pair of equal links
jointed on to each other (termed the connectors) were attached.
This combination (termed a cell) consisted in all of six links,
four belonging to the diamond and two to the connectors ; and
the Professor showed that, in whatever w ay the links of the
cell wero moved and the angles varied, the point of anion of
the last-named pair of links (named the fulcrum) always re¬
mained in a straight line writh two opposite points or poles of
t he diamond. Our limited space prevents us following Professor
Sylvester in his demonstrations ; but ho showed that when the
fulcrum was fixed, and one of the poles (named the power-point)
was made to move in the plane or the cell and in an arc
of a circle which would, if completed, pass through the
fulcrum, then the other pole (named the weight-point) moved
in an absolutely true straight level. The power-point and
weight-point were described as driver and follower; and the
driver, attached to a fixed point hy a rod equal to the radius of
the circle on which it moves, constitutes a Peaucellier cell, or
Peaucellier’# perfect parallel motion. Among the various
models exhibited was one demonstrating that, by the addition
of extra pairs of links to the cell, any number of rods may be
made to move simultaneously in parallel straight lines, thereby
creating a perfect compound parallel motion. The Professor
explained how this invention may be rendered available in the
production of charts, in millwright’s work, in calculating-
machines, and in many other processes, thereby greatly
economising very expensive hand labour ; and he stated that
this perfect parallel motion had already been employed in
making the ventilation machinery for the Houses of Parlia¬
ment. In concluding, he said that, besides opening out a new
field of mathematical inquiry, Peaucellier’s principle “ consti¬
tutes a new vital element of machinery second in importance
to none that has been invented since the introduction into
mechanism of the Archimedean screw’, more than two thousand
years ago.” George Husk. Esq., F.R.S., the treasurer and
vice-president, was in the chair.

CHANGES OF THE RLOOP DURING RESPIRATION.

Professor Rutherford, M.D.. in £
Tuesday last, described the changesm the blo, ; (l ^ l X g lun-s to
tion. in considering the carnage of oxygen fiorn th ®
the tissues by the pigment of the blood- corpuscles, a full
account was given of the structure of the corpuscles and pig¬
ment. This substance, termed haemoglobin, has heen recently
the subject of elaborate investigation by Preyer, and Horn the
chemical formula obtained by him it appears to be the mo*t
complex organic substance with which we are acquainted ; and,
in cousequence of the great variety of definite compounds into
which it may be decomposed, it will figure m organic chemistry
far more prominently than it has hitherto done. The only known
pure form of albumen has been obtained by splitting up this
blood pigment, and it is probable that ere long the precise com¬
position of albumen will lie ascertained. The mode of readily
obtaining hemoglobin crystals from blood was described, and the
characteristic spectra given by oxidised and reduced hemoglobin
were thrown upon a screen. The action of carbonic oxide and
other gases upon haemoglobinwas considered, and the strong oxid¬
ising power possessed by the oxygen in the blood corpuscles was
shown by an experiment, in which the resin of guiacum was
oxidised by it. It is on account of this power that it is believed
that the corpuscles can transform oxygen into ozone. The
carriage of carbonic acid from the tissues to the lungs by the
sodium carbonate and the phosphate of the blood was described,
and the cause of the interchange of gases in the lung and in the
systemic capillaries, as well as the action of gases and other
agents upon the colour of the blood, were explained and illus¬
trated by experiment. In the concluding part of the lecture
Professor Rutherford described the experiments by which
Bernard and others have shown that the blood is cooled as it
passes through the lungs. He said that this statement had
been challenged, but he considered Bernard’s experiments to be
the most trustworthy. The follow ing estimates of the amount of
gases in blood were referred to by the Professor :—

KANTS CRITICAL PHILOSOPHY.

Professor Groom Robertson began his second lecture on
Kant’s Critical Philosophy, on Saturday last, with a notice of
the philosopher’s great work, “ The Ixritik of Pure Reason,”
and the very serviceable introduction to it, named ” The
Prolegomena to any future Metaphysic.” Kant did not write
out hia w ork till be had thought it out; the mere writing
taking only five months, after many years of mental effort, it
was a system of philosophical thought, fully and equably
developed in all its parts, aud described by himself as “the
inventory of all our possessions through pure reason, system¬
atically disposed.” As reason, it dealt with knowing (the
mind’s faculty of knowledge), not with living ; as pure reason,
it dealt with knowledge dependent wholly on the mind, or
with the faculty before and apart from all experience ; and as
the “ Kritik of Pure Reason,” it w’as au exhaustively reasoned
search for the conditions of such knowledge. The doc¬
trines of sense and thought which Kant evolved he termed
“ transcendental,” lieeause they treated of the conditions of
knowledge prior to experience. * Among his illustrations Pro¬
fessor Robertson com melted on Kant’s exposition of the nature
of mathematics, especially as geometry as a pure science. In
doing this he said that the mind is not only liable to be affected,
but is capable of acting in a determinate manner by its own con¬
stitution. This action is termed thinking, and how thought
must operate to become knowledge is the central question in the
whole critical inquiry. Geometrical science, being knowledge,
involves thinking, or the spontaneous activity of mind ; but, as
its judgments arc said to be intuitive, and depending upon no
generalised experience, the mental action takes place in a peculiar
manner, which may be termed an act of productive imagina¬
tion. Thus, when we think of a line or circle w e draw it in

thought by a motion which, says Kant, is an act of pure sub¬
ject. Drawing it, we, in the very act or fact, accomplish a
synthesis of the successive stages. In the latter part of

NEW BOOKS.

An undeservedly vacant niche in the biographical gallery of
celebrated men belonging to an important epoch has been lately
tilled up in a sufficiently satisfactory manner by the publica¬
tion of two large volumes, entitled Th* Lifr of M* Jftgh/ //on.
Spencer Prrc< cal t including his Correspondscr tciih numerous
distinguished Persons , by his grandson, Spencer Walpole (Hurst
and Blackett). It may appear curious that sixty years should
have elapsed without producing anybody who felt called upon
to perform so pious a duty towards the dead and so acceptable
an attention towards the living. But it is believed that, with
the exception of an anonymous memoir, not generally known
or generally obtainable, there lias hitherto been no attempt to
write a life of Perceval. Still, it is not only for lack of a
“ sacred bard ” that Perceval and his deeds have met with the
fate of those brave men who preceded Agamemnon. Nor is the
oblivion into which both bis name and bis acts appear
to have, for at least a quarter of a century past, com¬
pletely fallen to be attributed entirely, though to some
extent it must be, to the fact*that, noble as was his birth and
estimable as was his private character, yet, as a public man, he
was nothing if not a mere Parliamentary debater and a Minister
of the stamp for which moulders of popular opinion and writers
of popular literature, influenced hy quite a new* order of political
ideas, feel nowadays no sympathy, even if they do not indorse
what Sydney Smith said about his being *.* faithful to Mrs.
Perceval and kind to the Master Percevals,” or what a modern
historian has written to the effect that “ it w as reserved for Mr.
Perceval to show that Addington was not the weakest possible
Minister.” All this may have had something to do w ith the
neglect, biographically and memoriolly, w’ith winch Mr. Perceval
had hitherto been treated. But it is probable that another ami
more powerful reason may he traced to the law’ of action and
reaction, which, we are told, are equal and opposite. Now, the
melancholy death of Mr. Perceval, who, it may be remembered,
even by those who have forgotten all else about him, was
assassinated by one Bellingham in the lobby of the House of
Commons, elicited so lavish aud even disproportionate an ex¬
penditure of grief, indignation, pecuniary grants, and monu¬
mental workmanship, at the time, that it is no wonder if
everything that could be W’ere considered to have been done, if
exhaustion supervened upon excitement, and if excess of com¬
memoration were followed by long forgetfulness. But it was
certainly time for a revival of memory ; and Mr. Perceval’s
biographer must he complimented upon having* stopped a
biographical gap very fuccesstully. A minor point of interest,
as regards Mr. Perceval, becomes a major point of interest, as
regards ephemeral topics of our day ; for lie filled simul¬
taneously two offices and gave rise to a question touch-
ing the vacation of seats in Parliament, just as Mr.
Gladstone has lately done. It would be well for a
reader to begin “with a perusal of the “errata” prefixed
to the first volume, else somebody may be shocked to find
banning described at p. 345 of the first volume as “the son of
a needy and dissolute actor.” The expression has given rise to
some correspondence in the columns of a daiiv contemporary ;
and horror has been exhibited at the confusion made by
Mr. \\ alpole between “ father-in-law ” and “ stepfather.”
Similar confusion is by no means uncommon amongst writers
of novels, if not of more solid works ; and, curiously enough,
the same word, tnau-j^re, means, in French—as most likely
everybody knows—both father-in-law and stepfather.

doubt, be considered a real kindness by anybody who doeum;
know w hy violets are so much affected by Bouapartista, wfaoii
not familiar with Fontainebleau or does not “comprehend the

“Parisian celebrities,” who enjoys quaint little stories, ami who
is ready to read yet more about tho different sentiment® with
which ‘Parisians* and Germans regard Christmas sml the
Christmas-tree and the new year, and, sooth to say, all things,
including the Rhine. The author himself expresses h«thank®
for the “careful and spirited translation and sardonicdoings
must not consider the compliment, which appear* to Imj well-
deserved, materially impaired by the iiigeniously-ajipcnrktlcon-
fession of “ignorance which prevented me from translating

lias been performed in a way that invites one to read ; ami the
translator appeals to have acquitted himself in a manner calcu¬
lated to defy detection. As for the author, his name is a me
passport to the favour of the discriminating and will command

that lie gives an opportunity for the application of an old saying,

when he says that “it shakes one’s faith in history to observe

political or religious facts buthe may possibly excite diVeent
when he prefers to derive the name of \ aud fans from the

Sir Bernard Burke’s Peerage dial Jlarondo(jv [ Harrison) has

It is an inherent taste, affording strong proof of that appre¬
ciation of constituted rank which is part and parcel of tho
nature of Englishmen, from the Prince to the peasant. No
other country has such an annual record of its nobility as
“ Burke’s Peerage ami Baronetage.” It is as superior ui iti
general scope and in its completeness and value as England!
nobility is confessedly above that of any other kingdom or
Europe. Geimauy depends on the “ Almanach de Gotha ; ” but,
useful as that portly little tome undoubtedly is, it embrace!
only Royal or quasi-Royal potentates. Frauco has an
“Annuaire de la Noblesse,” a very well-compiled summary:

of the titled classes. Italy and Spain have nothing of
kind, nor lias Russia, as far as we know’, any similar annual
“Peerage.” Glancing over the pages of this famous
Book ” one is struck by the numerous changes death each
causes. Full twenty Peers passed away in 1873, the m*’t :
memorable being Lords Lytton, Wcstbury, Ossington, Zetland
Delawarr, Wolverton, Hardwicke, Howdon, Galloway, Hujv

MAJOR BENT.

Major John Bent, whose death was recently announced, was
born April 26, 1782, at Sandford, Devon, being the second son
of tho Rev. George Bent, forty-one years incumbent of that
parish. Major Bent entered the Army Sept. 23, 1804. as
Ensign in the 5th Fusiliers. He served with that regiment in
the operations against Buenos Ayres in 1807, and also in the
latter p»art of the campaigns in the Peninsula, including the
battles of the Pyrenees, Nivelle, Nive (from the 9th to the 13th
December, 1813), passage'of the Gave d'OIeron, l attle of Orthes,
actions of Vic Bigorrc and Tarbes, and battle of Toulouse, for
which services he received the war medal with five clasps. Major
Bent retired from the Army in 1831, and then resided for nearly
thirty years at Wexham Lodge, Slough, where lie became a

probably the oldest surviving officer of the Peninsular War.

CURIOUS WILLS.

( Contributed by the Author of “ Flemish Interior*," <&«.)

WILL OF M. HELLOIX, JUGB DF. PA1X.

This gentleman, w T ell known as a magistrate, and residing on
his owm landed property, close to Caen, in Normandy, died in
the month of June, 182*8. He was of eccentric habits, and of
the calmest and most placid disposition. Nothing was ever
known to rullle his equanimity or to disturb the repose and
tranquillity of his domestic arrangements. Hu lived and died
unmarried, and passed hiB life either reclining on a couch or
lying in bed. Even when exerciaing liis judicial functions he
maintained this recumbent attitude ; his bed-room became his
audience-chamber, and he gave judgment in a horizontal position,
his body lazily stretched out, ami his head thrown back on a
down pillow. This luxurious life, however, did not sulliee to
protect him from the inevitable lot of mortals ; aud AI. Helloin,
m duo time, felt that his end was not far off. Under these cir¬
cumstances he mode liis will, apparently with the intention of
proving his fidelity to his traditions, for he decreed thereby
that “ he should be buried at nigbt, in liis bed, ami iu the
position in which death should surprise him -viz.., with liis
mattress, sheets, blankets, pillows— and, iu short, all that eon-
8tir.nteil tho belongings of a bedstead.” As there was some
difficulty in carrying out such a clause, an enormous pit was
dug, and tho deceased was lowered into his last resting-place
exactly as he had died, nothing around or about him having
been altered. Boards were placed above tho bedstead, in order
that the earth, when tilled in again, should not trouble the
repose of this imperturbable Qoietist.

WILL OF DANTLL MARTENETT.

(A n Officer in the Kant India, Cumpany'* Service.)

Among original wills may certainly bo reckoned Hint of
Daniel Marti nett. Dying very poor, this singular fellow be¬
queathed his debts to the Governor of Bengal, who g» mrmtsly
accepted the equivocal legacy. We hardly know whether to
admire more the sangfroid of the testator or the bonln mie of
the legatee. The principal dispositions which constitute the
W'ill art u* follows : —

“I, the undersigned Daniel Martinett, being perfectly
sound in mind though weak in body, declare that 1 make my
w ill in manner follow ing :—»

“1. I recommend my soul to God, and I hope to obtain of
Him pardon for all my sms.

“2. As to tliis miserable body ; as it has seen enough of tho
pomps of this lower world, all that 1 desire is that it may be
put away in an old green chest I have, to avoid all expense ;
nn*, having lived the life of a prodigal, 1 would fain die the death
of a niggard.

“3. My burial is to cost nothing : 1 won the amount of its ex¬
penses from the undertaker at a game of billiards we had together,
in the presence of Messrs. Thomas Morrieeand William Faikcs,
at the house of the said William I’arkes, in February last.

“4. I request that the Rev. Henry Butler will read over
my body the prayers usual at burials, and, moreover, that h«
will preach a sermon on the first. Sunday after my death, takii g
for hiri text these words of .Solomon, 4 All is vanity.* In con¬
sideration of this service I bequeath to him all my hypocrisy—
he needs it to be an honest inan, as times go.

“5. I bequeath to the Governor of Bengal, Henry Vansittart,
the office of paying any sum or sums which it may be found at
my death that 1 owe to any person in needy circumstances : the
whole cannot amount to more than 300 rupees.

“6. 1 give my bible and prayer-book to the Rev. Henry
Butler, ami my sabre to Captain Knox, because I sincerely
believe he has not only the skill but the courage to use it.

“I have been, during my life, an object of ridicule to a
fashionable gentleman, and the butt of his sarcasms. It is
possible my conduct may have beeu somew hat oxtraordinaiy ;

I hope to be aKu to forgive him.

4i As I * 1 11 .*ve nothing to leave to my relations in my native
country, neither have I anything to say to them. However,
they have not troubled themselves much about iun for some
time : only I wish them all very good health, and I hope that
my brnther-s and sisters may make a more prosperous journey
through life than I have, (Signed) “Daniel Martinett.”

THE ASHANTEE WAK.

We have received the following letter, with several sketches
from Mr. Melton Prior, our Special Artist, who accompanies
Sir Garnet Wolseley’s expedition to Coomnsde.

“ Prahsu, en route to Coomassie.

Jan. 1, 1874.

“At last I have arrived on the banks of the river Trail.
To-morrow I purpose crossing to the other side, and I shall be
the second Correspondent w ho has doue so. The Ashantees
are reported to have retreated thirty miles towards Coomassie,
so there is no fear of a brush with them for some time, par¬
ticularly as Sir Garnet Wolseley does not intend crossing
before the 15th inst,, if then.

“I left Cape Coast Castle on the 23rd, as I wanted to
travel easy stages, and to stop a day or two at the different
stations, to finish my sketches as fast as I made them. But
this is difficult, working out here ; not being, as in England,
in a quiet study, with gas or a good lamp, to work by night or
by day ; but in a hut under a tropical climate, infested with
rats, lizards, ants, immense bees, and all kinds of poisonous
and horrid insects and vermin. They crawl over you, up the
legs or down the neck and over the paper in swarms, and even
get upon the pen with which you are sketch i ng or writing ; or
they come buzzing round your head, into your ears, and finally
settle on your neck. In a tent the sun strikes through so
powerfully as to rive you the sensation of working in the
hottest room of a Turkish bath. At six o’clock the sun lias
gone, and suddenly total darkness sets in ; and I have found it
almost impossible to sketch otherwise than beforo ten in tho
morning, and at times after dinner with a bad candle stuck in a
champagne-bottle. Well, as 1 before mentioned, I left Cape
Coast on Dec. 23, as Sir Garnet was to leave on the
27th, and I wished to keep ahead of him, his staff, and
retinue of servants. I left about four p.m., and went
direct to Inquabiin, which is about seven miles’ marching. I
slept at Inquabim that night, made a sketch or two next day,
and once more slept there in my hammock, which I had
arranged across a hut. But, though I had my mosquito-curtain
all round me, and my waterproof sheet and coat over the ham¬
mock, the dew was so heavy that my Australian blanket,
which covered me, was as wet in the morning as if it had been
taken out of a river; and my shirt and pyjamas were almost in
the same condition. I need not say that my sleep was not
very profound.

“At half-past five in the morning my cook brought me a
basin of hot chocolate ; and at six my four earners, of whom
two were women, with my six hammock-bearers, two other
servants, and myself, were on tho march towards Assiboo,
about four miles distant. This 1 found to be only a small
village, not a station ; I therefore only waited here about ten
minutes, to have a drink of lime-juice, sugar, aud water, which
is a very grateful refreshment. Then, leaving the main road and
striking off to the left in a westerly direction, pushed forward
for Abrakrampa. The road all the way was a very narrow path;
the bush grew over it so much that it was difficult at times to see
the path, and the bush each side going up straight to the height
of 10 ft. and 12 ft. and more, prevented a view of the surround¬
ings, except when, at the top of a steep hill, one could get a
slight glimpse of the groves of palms, banana, plantains, and
pawpaw- trees.

( “At last, after a rather severe march, on account of tho
Close btmi and narrow pathway, wo arrived at a rather wider
space, and 1 then availed myself of my hammock. In a few
minutes more wo approached what seemed a large village. My
men knew the place well, apparently, as they wound in and out
among the houses till at last they stopped before one of the
best, informing me that it was a missionary house.

“ I entered and fully expected to see someone, either to wel¬
come me or otherwise; but my servants and camera did not
hesitate a moment. They placed all my packages in the passage,
and my eook, collecting Ins cooking utensils, started off to the
kitchen to prepare my breakfast. Not seeing anyone, I made
free to sit on the edge of a largo table, swung my legs, aud
occasionally sip lime-water. In less than half an hour I was
deep in the mysteries of my first meal. I had nearly finished
when a man, apparently a native, dressed in black frock-coat
and trousers, entered the doorway, and, in a most pleasant
manner, wished me a * Good morning ’ in very good English. We
became moBt chatty on the instant, and 1 then found that he
was ino tern, the missionary for Abrakrampa. 1 explained to him
that I had purposely gone out of my way to visit the battle-field
there, and that 1 had already Bent a native policeman to inform
the chief of my presence and my purpose. I invited him to
accompany me. In a very short time, having just lighted my
breakfast cigarette, I saw a kind of procession corning towards
the house. It turned out to be the newly-made chief, as the
old chief had died of smallpox about a fortnight beforo. First
came three or four native police, then the chief, next the
smaller chiefs, and lastly his staff of servants, with villagers.
He approached, bowed the head, and, through my missionary
interpreter, desired the pleasure of shaking hands with me.
This we did, and, having been told the object of my visit, he
started off with me.

“We visited the chapel, which was converted into a
citadel or castle during the light, and which is seen to the left
hand in my sketch of Abrakrampa. We then descended into
the bush, in the direction from which the Ashantees came.
Here several fr eshly-made graves were pointed out to mo. They
were those of Ashantees who had been buried by the white
troops. Farther on we came to a whole skeleton of an
Asliantee, but without a head. This I instantly sketched
roughly. A short distance on we found a skull, which I also
put on paper. The smell was anything but pleasant in that
quarter. Having made a hasty sketch of the village and battle¬
field, I returned to my missionary friend’s house, there to wait
until the sun had gone down and I could once more take to the
march.

“About four o’clock, just as I was about to start, I was in¬
formed that the chief was again approaching. He did so with
even a larger and more ceremonious procession. He desired to
present me with a calabash or pot of palm wine ; but, for fear
of trickery, I desired he would first drink of it, which he
willingly did, and, holding up the glass, drank to the great
English Queen and her soldiers, and hoped they would be suc¬
cessful in the present war. I thanked him for his politeness,
and, having had the glass refilled, I responded to his toast.
We all partook of the wine, chiefs and missionary and myself.

I presented the head chief with a dozen cigarettes, in return
for his politeness. He was much delighted ; we again shook
hands, and, jumping into my hammock, I departed from
Abrakrampa.

“After Bix or seven miles of rather rather worse road, wo
arrived at Accroful. I had sent on my cook and carriers, so
that when I arrived my dinner was ready. Tliis being Christ¬
inas eve, a bottle of champagne -was broached, but I did not
fed very lively at being alone on such an occasion. In one
sense I was not quite alone. Accroful is more noted for rats
and every kind of vermin than any other station on the road.

J was quartered that night in a hut, the roof made of palm

leaves. I lay on an uneven bamboo bed, the only cover! ig
upon which was my waterproof sheet. The rat 3 and li/.w D
kept up a constant dance ail night, running over my hod a:vl
boxes, and making a great noise. I may say that I have n^t
had one long comfortable sleep since I left London.

“At last, Christmas Day dawned, and I rose to drink my
nsual cocoa, but felt as though I had never been in bud at all.
This Christmas Day at Accioful was very Blow. It is a smill
station, and thero were only two officers quartered here. For
my dinner, I had ordered my cook to give nw some roast beef
which I had brought with me, and a real English plum-pit i ling.
When dinner was announced, I sat down upou a wine-box, with
two other boxes raised for my table. I commenced with Home
soup, which was very badly made. Then, instead of the roisfc
beef I had ordered, came the skin and bone, with a small piece
of meat, haricot mutton out of a tin. I was much vexed
and disappointed, but I found the beef had been curried. This
made me laugh, as it was very good, after all. Lastly cam.) the
Christmas pudding. I had given particular instructions for
this, but it turnea out of the consistency of thick psa soup.
The look of it was quite enough. A bottle of cjiampgao, h « v-
ever, booh made amends and restored my fallen spirits. Such
was my Christmas dinner on the road to Asliantee.

“I was not at all sorry to move on from Accroful no::t
morning. When I arrived at Dunquah, I met a friend with
whom 1 had been on board the Yolta. A very good tout was
here provided for me. But each officer, as I was introduced to
him, said, 1 Oh ! you should have been here last night; we had
a grand dinner, ’ and showed me tho bill of fare. Colonel
Festing, who was in command of the camp at Dunquah, gave
me an invitation to dinner. Next morning Mr. Henty, of
the Standard, and Mr. Stanley, of tho New York ]J' raid,
arrived, with their enormous train of servants.

“From Dunquah we started next day for Mansu, where we
were all quartered in a small hut. At this station we dined
with Colonel "Webber. On tho following morning Mr. Honty
left with his retinue ; then Mr. Stanley, riding on ono of hU
mules, which ho had sent on before; and then 1 left, about
three quarters of an hour later. My carrier women had refined
to go on, saying I had engaged them to go to Mansu only;
but this was not so. 1 coSd have settled the matter o.uily by
refusing to pay them if they did not go on ; but two of the four
women had run away, frightened at the idea of going almost
into the enemy’s camp, as they said. So I had to stop an 1
search for two more to go on, and the sum they wanted for just
three clays’ march was enormous. At last the matter was
settled, and away we went. In four or five hours we arrive-1
at Sutali: here I made a sketch. I had a hut with Mr. Honty,
and Mr. Stanley was by him.*?elf.

“ Next morning we left Sntah, but tho road was very tu 1 in¬
deed. I made a careful sketch of it, which I send up ; and
y u may imagine it [ten times worse in reality, as most of t:ie?e
scenes look bvtter on paper. In the sketch they are mending
the road by laying large logs or limbs of trees across tho road,
which trouble the nativo feet most severely.

“After a long and heavy march wo arrived at Yonoomassie,
in Assin. Here we made another stoppage for the niriifc. On
the following morning, Dec. 31, we again took to the road.
About eleven miles distant we came to Barraco, but wo did
not stop : we pressed on for He principal and most important
station, Pralisu, doing what is called a double march. Wo
arrived here about twelve o'clock, in the hottest part of the day.

“Major Hume had -riven us a plot of ground directly oppo¬
site to head*quarters. \Yt all set hard to work to clear away
the bush and erect the tents. Mr. Stanley hud very kbilly
offered me half his tent, which is a great comfort, as tho
Control Department does not supply any, and all the other cor¬
respondents have their own. As it is, I am very comfortable.
Duiing four or five hours the hammock men land carriers,
and we ourselves, worked as hard as men could ; and I can
well imagine what a settlor's or emigrant’s life must be. Any¬
how, the tents were raised, and we slept under t' -un. As we
are likely to be here for a fortnight and more, we ished to bo
very comfortable, and Sir Garnet, as well as the sanitary
inspector, has complimented us on the appearance of our
ground.

“ On the following day (New-Year’s Day) we commenced an
elaborate hut, Mr. Stanley directing and superintending the
construction. It contains a dining-hall, bath-room, store-room,
and servant s sleeping-room, all on one floor. It is furnished,
and wo are going to have a dinner party in it for the first time
to-night*

“{Sir Garnet Wolseley lias arrived with his staff. Last
night, about twelve, Mr. Stanley and myself, and all who are
around us, were startled by the report of a rifle. Almost im¬
mediately afterwards we saw the staff turn out of head¬
quarters. I instantly put on my boots and mshed aoro 33 to
where the voices sounded, and, having been accosted by
a sentinel with 4 Who goes there ? ’ replied directly, 4 A
friend P I received the answer, 4 Pass, friend, and all is well.’ I
then inquired the cause of the disturbance, and was informed that
one of tlio Ashanteo Ambassadors had shot himself. I entered
the hut where the Ashantees then were. A number of officers
and doctors were round the dead man, who liad apparently
fired under the chin, as the lower part of his face was horribly
disfigured.

“ 1 have crossed the Prali, and made a sketch from the othor
side, which IJwiUfsend off* to-morrow. The soldiera will cro 3 s
to morrow or next clay, and I want to put them into my sketch.
Tho white troops are expected up in a few days, bub yon will
see, by the sketch I send, that some of tho Marines have
arrived. It is almost impossible to put in all the camera as
well, but there were a very large number carrying the beds
and clothing of our men. The Marines came in singing 4 John
Brown * ana * Glory Hallelujah ! 1 They are a very fine set of
men, and will no doubt show themselves to great advantage in
this campaign.”

The latest news is a telegram from Major-General Sir Garnet
Wolseley to the Secretary of State for War, dated Jan. 24, on
the Adansi Hills, forty miles north of the Prah. It runs as
follows :—

44 All the white prisoners are now in my camp. The King
accepts the terms I offer, and says he will pay the indemnity?
I demanded £ 200 , 000 . I halt to-morrow, for a few clays, at
Foemanah (Toimnanah), thirty miles from Coomassie. All
going right.”

This news, which arrived in London on Thursday, had been
preceded by the following, dated from Capo Coast Ca 3 tle,
Jan. 19, by the steam-ship Ethiopian :—

“ The King of Asliantee had released the German missionary,
and has sent him to General Wolseley to treat for peace.
Eleven (?) hundred seamen and marines, with one hundred
white troops of each regiment, within one day’s march of
Ceomassie, with General Wolseley, except 23rd, who arc not
disembarked. Great trouble with native carriers, who have all
run away. Stores carried to the front by volunteers of 1st and
2nd West India Regiments. Captain Glover not heard of. No
lighting; troops in good health. 23rd of January named fftr
taking Coomassie, instead of 15fch.”

THE HEW JUDGE.

Mr . Baron Amphlett, the new Judge of the Court of
Exchequer, received the honour of knighthood from her
Majesty at Windsor Castle. Sir Richard Paul Amphlett is the
eldest son of the late Rev. Richard H. Amphlett, Rector of
Hadzor, Worcestershire, by his first wife, Sarah, daughter of
Mr. Nathaniel Paul. He was born in the year 1S09, and was
educated at a grammar-school in Staffordshire, and subse¬
quently at St. Peter’s College, Cambridgeshire, where he took
his Bachelor’s degree in 1831, coming out in the mathematical

tripos as sixth Wrangler. He was called to the Bar at
Lincoln’s Inn in Trinity Term, 1834, and has had considerable
experience in Equity business. He received the honour of a
silk gown in 1858. He is a magistrate and Deputy-Lieutenant
for Worcestershire, and has been for several years a Deputy
Chairman of the Quarter Sessions for that county. He was
chosen, at the last general election, one of the members for
East Worcestershire, in the Conservative interest. He is
known to have taken a great interest in the improvement of
the education of his profession ; and when Sir Roundell Palmer
became Lord Chancellor Mr. Amphlett was chosen his sue-

cessor in the presidency of tho Legal Education
He has also supported in Parliament tho reform <»( the !i.

while Mr. Baron Amphlett, attended by his “colt” (Mr. B.

Ann Wynn, widow of Francis Wynn, against Bichard Jones,

and demands of the said Bichard Jones a third part of threo
hundred acres of land, messuages, and barns in Yorkshire. A
learned Serjeant makes a feint of opposing the application on
the part of Bichard Jones (who, together with Ann Wyon, is
alleged to bo present in court), but speedily withdraws, and
then the new Baron is admitted within the ranks of the
Serjeants, bows to the court, and shakes bands with his coifed
friends on each side of him. The Chief Justice asks him if he
has anything to move, to which the learned gentleman responds
w ith a graceful bow* and retires with his “ colt 99 to the Queen’s
Bench, where he is sworn in. The duty of the “colt” is to
fetch the writ from the Lord Chancellor and 60 introduce the
new Judge. This ceremony being performed, various oaths are
taken, and the “colt” presents the Lord Chancellor on the
part of the new Judge with two massive gold ring3, one for the
Queen and the other for himself. A third ling is given to the

This appointment of an Equity barrister to a seat on the
Common Law Pencil is a token of the fusion of those two
departments of jurisdiction.

FRANCE.

(From our Correspondent in Paris).

Thursday, Feb. 5.

In the course of another w*eek or so there will not be a single
Republican mayor left in France, for, with the view of propping
up its insecure tenure of power, the Government is rapidly
carnping the new municipal law into effect, thirty or torfcy
nominations of Legitimist, Orleanist, and Bonapartisfc mayors
and adjoints appearing in the Journal Ojjiciel regularly every
morning. The Due do Broglie has selected several ex-prefets
and sous-priifets of the Empire to tho mairies of Marseilles,
Toulon, Nantes, Narbonnc, Aix, Rouen, Rheims, Orleans, and
Chartres, seditious localities, the Republican spirit of which
needs to be controlled by energetic fiinctionnaires d poJy/ic.
Even M. Rameau, the popular mayor of Versailles, and deputy
for Seine* et- Oise, has not found grace in the eyes of the Prime
Minister, and his dismissal w as gazetted yesterday morning,
bis | ost being conferred on M. liunebelle, a protege, we are
told, of the Due d’Aumale.

This policy must tell against the Cabinet in the future,
although it may momentarily strengthen its position. Besides
the coming Republican interpellation apropos of the Due de
Broj. ie’s recent circular, which w’e are told wnll be sup*
poi ud by MM, Gambetta, Lepere, and Challemei L.icour, a
Legitimist interpellation concerning Marshal. MacMakon’s
seven years’ lease of pow r er, now awaits tho Ministry, and in¬
deed threatens to sweep it from the scene. The Count de
Chambord, the clerical organs tell us, has deputed M.
Cuxonove de Pradincs, one of his most intimate confidants,
and M. Lucies. Bruu, the colleague of M. Chesnaloug iu last
yeai 3 fusion negotiations, to bring tho question before the
As- cmlily, and the Legitimist party is preparing for a desperate
Parliamentary struggle.

The Ministers are only too conscious of the vulnerability of
their position, and, having alienated «x>th Legitimists and
Republicans, know not where to seek for succour. Their
organn announce that they have resolved to declare cate¬
gory ally that they consider it their duty to defend
MnTalial MauMahon’s seven years’ term of office against all
attacks or party pretensions, from whatever quarter they may
[iiocecd; but it is somewhat doubtful whether, at the eleventh
xur, they will not shrink from, any sueh bold line of action.
Meanwhile the President lias been expoun din g his own views
on this somewhat delicate topic, in reply to an address on the
pr i t of the Paris Tribunal of Commerce. After observing that
the Government hnd the commercial and industrial interests of
the country deeply at heart, and that important public works
were about to bo commenced in and around Paris,^ he is. re¬
pent d to bavo said : —“You justly romark that confidence in
the stability of the Government is necessary for the revival of
business. I do not, however, understand how any apprehen¬
sions con Mill exist on this htad. The Assembly has intrustod
the Executive power to me for seven years. Lender these cir-
cun fiances I shall make the Assembly’s decision respected.”

The debate on the new taxes w'kich commenced in tlie
Assembly on Saturday was opened by M. Magne, who opposed
M. Leon Say’s proposal to repay the Bank of Franco £10,000,000
instead of £12,500,000, aproceeding which he considered equiva¬
lent to borrowing £2,500,000 from that institution. lie after¬
wards supported the Government proposals to place a surtax on
cc ii.mcrcia] bills, and to tax the conveyance of merchandise by
luggage-trains, which, he said, was preferable to augmenting
tho impests on alcohol and glass, as the Budget Committee had
sue rested. When the debate was resumed ou Monday M.
Edouard Lockroy delivered a vehement address on the part of
the Republican party, which, ho said, was opposed to the
imposition of the taxes suggested by the Budget Committee.
He painted a most dismal picture of the condition of the French
working classes, and frequently apostrophised the Right in the
most vehement manner, winding up by designating the Con¬
servatives as the spoliatory class, for which he was called to
eider by President Buffet. Count Bam pout, a member of the
Left Centre, having protested against M. Lockroy’s doetriues,
tho latter made a second speech on tho following day, in which
he defended his opinions while withdrawing tho expressions for
wliich he had been called to order.

An attempt was made in the Paris Municipal Council, the
other day, to obtain a vote of GO,000f. for tho purposo of giving
a grand ball at the Luxembourg Palace.^ The proposal was,
however, rejected by a considerable majority, and, a Radical
me ml: or suggesting that a similar sum should be allotted to the
wives of the transported Communists, a turbulent discussion
ensued, which ultimately resulted in the rejection of the
proposition, the resignation of M. Vautrain, the president, and
the closing of the session by tho Fr^fet of the Seine.

Tho monetary conference, attended by delegates from
Belgium, France, Italy, and Switzerland, which has been
recently sitting in Paris, baa now completed its labours.
Franco has been authorised to coin silver iive-franc pieces for a
value of £‘2,400,000 during l$74; Italy, for a value of
£ LOCO COO; Belgium, £480,000; and Switzerland, £320,000.

INDIA.

A telegram from Calcutta, of Wednesday’s date, states that
rain has fallen generally in Bengal, that much benefit has been
done to the crops, and that ploughing for the spring crops has
been greatly facilitated. There was a public meeting at Cal¬
cutta on Wednesday, with the Viceroy in the chair, to con¬
sider measures for the relief of the distressed districts. A
large sum has already been subscribed to form a relief fimd.

The Viceroy has issued an elaborate minute explaining hia
reasons for not stopping the exportation of grain, a measure
which he does not believe would have a beneficial effect. Hia
conduct has been approved in a long despatch by the Secretary
of State for India. His Grace thoroughly concurs in opinion
with the Governor-General in Council, that the export of grain
from Bengal ought not to be prohibited.

The Indian Government has arranged for the supply of
342,000 tons of rice to the distressed districts by the middle of

Baron Reuter has published a letter in reply to some recent
statements respecting the Persian concession. He says that the
railway works were l>egun six wrecks before the date stipulated
in the convention ; that the Persian Minister of Works, in a
letter dated Sept. 11 Lost, expressed the satisfaction of the
Sliah at the commencement of the undertaking, and promised
to afford all the assistance that might be found necessary ; and
that the railway works have since been proceeded with without
interruption. Baron Reuter s latest advices, by telegraph from

licorice the House of “strangers,” anil Sir Hobart Torrens
c; u ro loiter hint, as was his wont, that the mother country
vould do well to imitate Australia in policy and adminis¬
tration. One of the substituted Conservatives hero, Mr.
Smollett, was once before a member, and noted for his ra?y
1 umour and •‘wit,” in contradistinction to what i3 known,
t cotticd, as “wut.” At Bath tho Conservative? have lost
a seat, and the special victim, is the “Dear Grey” of tne
celebrated Disraeli effusion on “plundering and blunder¬
ing ” — that is to say, Lord Grey do IN ilton has lia&u
deprived of the membership which he so lately won. Ihe
place of Mr.* James Howard at Bedford has been filled by a Con¬
servative, Captain Polliill-Turaer, whose name will be recollected
as that of a witness in the Tichbome case ; but, happily, Mr.
’Whitbread remains to offer sage advice and to arbitrate on dif¬
ficult questions of order in the House. Canterbury has shaken
off its “ one-and-one ” condition,” and is now wholly Con¬
servative : and the like has happened at Colehnstor. The re¬
jection of Mr. J. D. Lewis is not only the loss of a Liberal vote
and the giving over entirely of the borough to the Opposition,
but it deprives the House of one of the ablest and most effective
debaters amongst the rising young members.

Liberalism doses an adherent at Grantham ; tho departure
of Colonel Tomline from Grimsby for one of the divisions
of Suffolk liaving left a place for a Conservative to creep
into. A former Tory represeusative haa returned to Horsham,
in the person of Sir Seymour Fitzgerald, who has put out Mr.
Hurst. At Lowes, too, the vacancy caused by tho retirement
of Lord Pelham has resulted in a cliange into Conservatism ;
for Mr. Christie, of that political persuasion, has filled it.
Wonderful to relate, Marylebone haa rotumed a Tory at the
head of the poll, and Mr. Forsyth, after many electoral ship¬
wrecks, is at length safe in the haven that he often sought m
vain ; while Sir Thomas Chambers retains his scat. At New-
ca&tle-cn-Tyne the electors have eschewed Liberalism, in the
person of Mr. Hcadlam, who may ho said to have been a very
old member; while Nottingham has turned its representation
topsy-turvy, and, in returning Mr. Denison and Mr. Isaac
(it seems' ns if a surname were wanted liore, but the
detdcpvAion is complete), haa delivered itself over wholly
to the Opposition. The rejection of tho late Liberal
member ior Plymouth* Mr, Morrison, and tho compassing of
an entire Conservative representation for Plymouth, is one of
the * It j king circ ums tan ees of the election. At Portsmouth Mr.
Stone, ihe Liberal, lias been pushed out, just as ho bad begun
to make a mark in the House and to show a proclivity towards
office, and eo Sir James Elphinstone at last has a colleague aftor
his own heart.

In some sort, owing to certain circumstances. Mr. Alfred
Sejmcur has been, lately somewhat before the public, but this
did not save him from eclipse at Salisbury, where Mr. G.
Ryder, an unknown (to the House) Conservative, has been
ut erred. An able Liberal member, Mr. Dent, has bostt
i cmoved from Scarborough, and a Tory. Sir Charles Regard,
takes his seat. The tenure of Stalybridge by a Liberal —
hi r. Buckley — has not been long, and the borough has
returned to its allegiance to Conservatism and the family
of Sidebottom. In the Parliament of IS65 St. Ives had a
Tory member! but in the la-t it was represented by Mr.
Magniac, a Liberal; but, he not seeking ro-elecfcion, it has
veered round to its former love and chosen a Mr. Davenport;
and eo, in tho first four days of the week, the Opposition have
won forty-five scats.

As a set-off to all these Conservative gains, liberalism has
tpi-pwi /mm its cum on cut party several seats. It haa been the
distinction, and it is no sngrn. % mr, or ,m. if r . .r.
and Mr. T. Parry that they have wrested both seats at
Bctton from the Tories. An additional significance! ia to be
found in the fact that Mr. Ingram was at the head of the poll;
and the minds of the electors must have been specially moved
towards him, for he obtained nearly six hundred votes more than
were given to Mr. Malcolm, who stood tho highest on the Con¬
servative side. May it not have been that there was something
of a kindly memory which influenced each man that oxcrciscd
fhc suffrage in his favour ? By the putting ont of Colonel Gray,
the late Conservative member, at Bolton, and the election of
Mr. Cross, the Liberals gain a scat. Almost a calamity haa
befallen the Conservative party by tho defeat, at Droitwich,
of Sir John 1’akington by Mr. Corbett, and, despite of fv>me
characteristics which laid him open to criticism, it will be
universally felt that “we could have better spared a better
man.” A former Liberal member, Mr. 0. Waring, has
regained Poole, having vanquished Mr. Arthur Guest. At
Shrewsbury the representation has been wholly altered,
Is! r. Dougins .Straight and Mr. Figgins having given way to
Mr. Cotes and Mr. Robertson. At Westbury Mr. Laver ton,
after three attempts, has at hat succeeded in putting an
erd to tho Conservative domineering of the Phipps family;
and the electors of Worcester have rejected Air. Laalett, who
w as once a Liberal and lapsed into Conservatism, and chosen
Mr. Hill in his place.

The Liberals have put Colonel Charle3 Lindsay, a querulous
military critic, out of Abingdon, and put in Mr. Clarko, who
will be at least a vote ; Barnstaple has changed Conservative
Mr. E. H. Williams for Liberal Mr. Waddy ; Durham city has
given Mr. Henderson, the former Liberal member, a cognate
colleague in Mr. T. Thompson ; Hartlepool has rejected a local
Conservative magnate, Mr. Ward Jackson, and chosen Mr.
Richardson, of opposite politics; Colonel Pease, so recently
returned in the Tory interest for Hull that he had not taken
bis seat, has been rejected for Mr. 0. IT. Wilson, and
ihe representation is now* wholly Liberal; aud Stafford
bas distinguished itself by returning a working-man candi¬
date, Mr. Macdonald, who is pronounced to bo a Liberal, but
may not be one after all. The fortunes of Conservatism have
paled at Shrewsbury, for Mr. Douglas Straight and Mr. Biggins
have gone down before Mr. Cotes and Mr. Robertson, of whom
the general public only knows that they are Liberals. Itscem3
that the electors of Stockport have not taken the advice given
ihem by Mr. Disraeli at Manchester—“to take care of
M r. Tipping ; ” for they have returned two Liberals, Mr.

J! opwood and Mr. Pennington, one of whom supplies the place
of the very old liberal member, Mr. J. B. Smith, who did not
fcek re-election. The Conservative, Mr. Dorrington, recently
elected at Stroud, in the room of Mr. Winterbotham, has had
a short reign; he did not even take his seat; and Mr.
Dickinson, the former Liberal member, has got a sympathising
colleague in Mr. Stanton. A Liberal seat~ has been won at
Southampton ; Sir Frederick Perkins replacing Mr. Merrick
Her re; tut everyone, Conservative or Liberal, will be glad
that Mr. Rnssell-Gurney will be in the now House. ITp to tho
time of closing this desultory record the Ministerialists had
taken only twenty-one scats from the Opposition.

Early in the week Oxford gave back to tho House the
Minister f< r War. the Solicitor-General, Mr. Stausfeld, Mr.
Lcve, Mr. Dodson, Mr. Knntehbull-Hugcssen, Mr. W. Glad¬
stone, Mr. Grant*Duff, Mr. Campbell-Bannerman, Dr. Lyon
Playfair, Mr. W. E. Forster, the Attorney-General, and the
Prime Minister; r.v that at the time of this present writing the
risirg tide tf Conservatism haa not engulfed a Minister.

There was, however, profound anxiety felt in Liberal circles
with regard to the fate of Mr. Gladstone at Greenwich. During
the day, and up to a late hour at night, there were all kinds of
sinister rumours, and once it was positively stated that he was
defeated. At length, however, the telegraphs and swift horses,
some manned and others harnessed to light vehicles, which
v ere waiting, brought tho intelligence that he was returned,
but only second on the poll, the head whereof was a distiller,
Air. Boord. Was not this an indication that the belief which
has become prevalent that tho present is a publicans’ election
is in the main correct. At any rate, the electors of Greenwich
have shown that they prefer one connected with that class to
a Prime Minister. . ,

Despite the ballot, there have been serious disturbances,
almost riots, in many places where elections were going on ; so
that process of voting does not seem to be the specific for peace
and quietness which it has been boasted to be. It i3 worthy
of remark that in a metropolitan borough (Hackney) the
arrangements for secret voting broke down ingloriously, and
the election, with its maimed list of votes, will be a nullity.

MEMBERS RETURNED.

The following is a Litt of the Members who, at the time of
going to press with our early edition, were returned to serve
in the next Parliament, distinguished as Liberals and Con¬
servatives. Those who did not sit in the late Parliament are

-ON THE KOAD TO GRETNA.”

The little village, just over the Scottish Border, whwe fugitive
lover* from England used to avail themselves of the bcobtiMi
law of marriage* by lmatily performing the legal proceas of a
declaration that they would take each other into matrimonial
life-partnership, is not of eo much importance at the present
time. Noboby would supprtso, at least, on meeting m taat
neighbourhood an aged couple in a small donkey-oarb, creeping
along the road at tho rate of three miles an hour, tnat they
were intent upon such an expedition. Wo further believe tuat
one might watch the pasuors-by during manv days of the
vailing season, without seeing any man and woman more
likely to demand, the service's of the famous blacksriutli,^ who*
in days of yore, was accustomed to earn his fee by oflLfiatinc
as a witness of tho Scotch marriage, and by issuing a for uni
certificate of the /act. The elderly Darby aud Joan represented
in Mr. Moi.-m’s picture may not improbably euterfcaiu tor
one another some ki dot tender regard befitting their venerable
ycai*s. But tin y have no occvsion to fear the pursuit of an
angry father* aud th*_* d mkey Will not be hurried.

Mr. W. S. Ci>va* was, o.i Tuesday, elected chairmau of the
City Commis8ion of Sc wen, in room of Mr. Farrar.

Dr. Frankland"s v.' dci report states that ail tho compauics,
except Lam belli, supplied purer water during the past month
than they had done iu December

A centenary commemoration soiree was given last weak
by the Middlesex Hospital Medical Society. It was moat suc¬
cessful. more than GOO persona being present, including many
lay governors, besides medical men from .all parts of England.
A conceit* conducted by Herr Gauz, went off admirably.

The distribution of prizeB to the successful students at the
evening classes of tho City of London College took place, yes¬
terday week, at the college, in Leadonhall-streot—Mr. W.
McKowan in the chair. The annual report showed that the
progress of tho institution had been successfully maintained,
especially in the^direeticn of its financial position.

In tho Glasgow Established Presbytery the action taken
against Principal Caird, fordiis sermon on Unbelief, lias failed.
Trio motion for proceeding against him was defeated by an
amendment accepting his denial of the doctrine that meu are
not responsible for their beliefs. The minority have appealed
to the Synod.

During the week ending last Saturday 2532 births and 1119
death: were registered iu London, tho former being 72 ah>ve,
ai d the latter 307 below, the average. The deaths included
57 from measles, 20 from scarlet fever, 8 from diphtheria, 59
irom whooping-cough, 23 from different forms of fever, 13 from
diarrhoea, and not one from smallpox. The deaths referred to
diseases of the respiratory organs and phthisis, which in the
fix preceding weeks had steadily decreased from 1112 to 514,
further declined under the influence of the recent mil 1 weather
1o 454, and were ISO below the corrected average weekly
number; 208 resulted from brouchitia, 134 from phthisis, aud
85 from pneumonia. Five cases of suicide and one of infanticide
were registered.

A meeting of the Royal National LitVBoat Institution was
held, on Thursday, at its houso. John-streot, Adelphi—Mr.
Thomas Chapman ‘in the chair. Rewards am )anting to £259
were voted to the crows of various life-boats of the institution
for services rendered by them during tho past mouth. A re¬
ward was also granted to the crew of a shore-boat for saving
life on the coast; and payments to the amount of £1670 were,
ordered to bo made on" different life-boat establishments.
Several contributions ami legacies to the society were announced
as having been received from Glasgow, Norwich, Lancaster,
Bolton, Chichester, Burtou-on-Trent, and other places. The
late Mrs. F. S. Kirby, of Dublin, has left a legacy of £209 to
the institution. A uew life-boat has been forwarded to South-
port. It wa^ decided to form a life-boat establishment at St.
Mary’s, Sriliy Islands, the landed proprietor, Mr. Smith-
Dorricn, haring readily promised his haarty co-opcratiou in
carrying out that project. A communication, was real from the
President of tho Russian Association for the Rescue of Ship¬
wrecked Crews, conveying to the National Life-Boat Institu¬
tion the thanks of the Grand Duchess Czarevna, patroness of
the association, for the help the society had extended to them
in carrying on their work on the shores of Russia.

ril'dintsliire Tho "family name was originally Gladstanes, and
h"?enec wa a at ToWnbe, near B^ar
Mr Thomas Gladstones, who was m trade at Leitt^ waa tne

father of Sir John : tho baronetcy was conferred in IStb, when
Sir John by royal license, dropped the final s from lus name.
He had married^ Anne, daighteVof Andrew Robertson, Provost
of Dingwall, in Rosa-shire, whose remote ancestry is con-
nected? flays Sir Bernard Burke, with the Royal houses of
Co in Scotland and Plantagenet (througR a Beaufort) in
England. Sir John Gladstone, who died m December lS G
had four sons—namely, the present Sir Thomas Gladstone,of
Fasciuo, who sat in Parliament during many years ; Mr.
Robertson Gladstone, who is still in business at Liver|)«Jol; the
late Captain John Gladstone, R.E., sometime M.P., whose
daughter married the Earl of Belmore; and, lastly, the Right
lion William Ewart Gladstone. It has been stated in bio¬
graphical memoirs, and has not been contradicted, that an equal
portion of £100,000 for each of his four sons was bequeathed

by Sir John Gladstone. v

The future accompfished statesman was educated at Eton,
and at Christ Church College, Oxford, whore he became a per-
sonal friend of the late Duke of Newcastle then Lord Lincoln,
the late Lord Herbert of Lea (Mr. Sidney Herbert), and o.hei j
with whom lie was afterwards politically associated. He entered
the University in 1821), and graduated, with double first-class
honours, in the Michacbnas Term of 1881. After a tour on
the Continent be was elected M.P. tor Is owar*, by the
assistance of the Duke of Newcastle, in December, 1832 ; of
course us a Tory, and a decided opponent of the Reform Bill.
When Sir Robert Peel was in office, during a few months in
1831 and 1835, Mr. Gladstone was appointed a Jumor Lord
of the Ti'easury, and, some weeks afterwards, Under-Secretary
for the Colonies. Ho lost office, with his political leader, in
April, 1835 ; and tho Conservatives did not regain power till
1S41. Mr. Gladstone was then admitted to the Privy Council,
and took office as Vice-President of the Board of Trade and
Master of the Mint. The revision of our commercial^ tanll
in 1S42 was chiefly his work in matters of detail. In 1813 he
succeeded the late Earl of Ripon as President of tho Board of
Trade, but left that office in 1S45 to succeed Lord Stanley (the
late Earl of Derby) as Secretary for the Colonies. In 1310, by
acting with Sir Robert Peel in the repeal of the com laws,
Mr. Gladstone had a disagreement with the old Diiko of
Newcastle, and was obliged to give up liis seat for Newark ;
but in August, 1847, he was elcctod, with the late Sir Robert
Inglis, for the University of Oxford.

Mr. Gladstone’s separation from the Tory party began soon
after the overthrow of Sir Robert Peel’s Government in 184(5,
but it was latent and gradual. The so-called Pc elites—viz.,
the Bad of Lincoln (who became Duke of Newcastle in 1851),
Mr. Sidney Herbert, Mr. Gladstone, and Mr. Cardwell—were
the Liberal Conservatives of that time. 3 hoy held aloof from
the professions of uncompromising Toryism made by the late
Earl of Derby and Mr. Disraeli; but they gave no sign of an
approach to Lord John Russell and the other M lugs. In lSul
Mr. Gladstone’s complete estrangement from his earlier poli¬
tical allies could no longer be disguised, and bis re-election for
the University cost a severe contest. The Earl of Aberdeen
formed n Coalition Ministry in December, 1352, upon the demit
of Mr. Disraeli’s Budget, after a debate in which Mr. Gladstone
had been the most formidable antagonist of the Tory Finance
Minister. Mr. Gladstone was therefore made Chancellor ot
the Exchequer in the now Government. But the Russian
war broke out in 1S54, and our military disasters in the Crimea
soon caused the downfall of tho Ministry. A new one was
formed by Lord Palmerston, in which Mr. Gladstone at first
held office, but withdrew on account of Mr. Roebuck s motion
for an inquiry into tho mismanagement of the b ar Depart¬
ment. That department had been in the hands of Mr.
Gladstone’s friend, the then (now late) Duke of Newcastle, .but
had been taken by Mr. Sidney Herbert. Mr. Gladstone remained
some years out of office, but in 185S accepted from the late
Lord Derby a special mission to the Ionian Islands.

When Lord Palmerston was again in power, in 1859, Mr.
Gladstone joined his Cabinet as Chancellor of the Exchequer,
In the very next year he gained a brilliant success, with
tho help o\ Mr. Cobden and other economists, in con¬
cluding the French commercial treaty and in abolishing
the paper duty. This matte him very popular, and he was
invited, in 1861, to become a candidate for South Lancashire.
Ho did not, however, avail himself of this offer till 1865, when
the University of Oxford had rejected him. After tho death
of Lord Palmerston, in October of that year, Lord John Russell
having gono up as Earl Russell to the House of Lords, Mr.
Gladstone beenmo leader of tho House of Commons during the
ascendency of the liberal party. He was, it need not be said,
li e most efficient member of Earl Russell’s second Administra¬
tion. His share in the Parliamentary contests upon the Reform
Bill of 1806, proposed by the Liberals, and the Reform Bill of
1867, brought in by tho Conservatives and carried, was mo3t
important. In 1868 he proposed and passed his resolutions for
tho disestablishment of the Protestant Church in Ireland, a
measure which had been couccivcd by the Radical Reformers of
thirty years before, but which no person of Ministerial ex¬
perience had ever yot adopted. Tho general election of
November, 1868, turned mainly upon this question. Mr.
Gladstone lost his seat for South Lancashire, but was elected
for Greenwich. He came into power with a large
majority, in December, 1868, and proceeded to execute
his measures of justice to Ireland. Tho abolition of the
Irish Church Establishment, in 1869, was followed in the
next year by the Irish Landlord and Tenant Act.
The Gladstone Ministry has done several other useful things in
the reform of the Army and Navy and of the Law Courts, the
establishment of school boards and of a school rate, the im¬
provement of criminal law and of bankruptcy law; while it
has escaped being drawn into tho wars of the Co
Powers.

Mr. Gladstone, as a writer, has shown a fine taste for lite¬
rary scholarship, with an especial turn for classical archaeology,
and a disposition to reflect gravely upon themes of deep moral
and religious interest. His chief publications arc “ Tho State
in its Relations with the Church, which appeared in 183S ;
“ Church Principles Considered in their Results,” 1841 ;
“ Studies on Homer and the Homeric Age,” 185S; a com¬
mentary on “Eccc Homo,” 1868 ; and “ Juventus Mundi ; or,

Hawarden. One daughter was lately married to tho Ro\. L.
C Wickham, Head Master of Wellington College.

During a considerable part of Wednesday s
Bitting the Lord Chief Justice was engaged m
examining the defendant's _ account of the
wreck of the Bella in connection with his state¬
ments and those of Captain Oates on the one
side, and those of Captain Brown on the
other, as to his condition ami proceedings im¬
mediately prioi to, and at the time of, the sailmg
of the Bella from Rio. Incidentally, his Lordship
strondy condemned the suggestion made by
defendant’s counsel that the commander of
the Bella scuttled her in order that the owners
might obtain the amount of an excessive in¬
surance. This was, the Lord C^of remarked,
an infamous accusation without the slightest
shadow of foundation, and he hoped it did not
come from the defendant. His Hardship
pointed out the difference between the de¬
fendant’s evidence on this subject during the
Chancery proceedings and m the Court ot
Common Pleas, and afterwards compared Ins
conflicting statements in reference to the vessel
which rescued him. Tho Court adjourned by
piearrangement until Friday morning.

After hearing some further evidence, Mr. Knox,
on the application of Mr. George Lewis, jun.,
who defended the accused, consented to take
as bail two sureties in £250 each.

James Davies, of 150, Great College-street,

TRIAL OF TUB TIC1IBOKKE CLAIS1AST BOB.

PERJURY.

The Lord Chief Justice has subdivided the
life of Roger Tichborne into five stages, each
of wLich he proposes to investigate seriatim.
Yesterday week he concluded the third stage—
Reger’s preparation for tho Army and opened
the fourth, his Army life. The correspondence
with Lady Doughty played a leading part in
the inquiry as bearing on the question ot
Roccr’s morid character and temperament. In
this connection his Lordship traced the nascent
affection for Miss Doughty, and criticised Lady
Doughty’s vacillating policy with regard to it.
ffK rnrnily settlements were elaborately ex¬
plained to the jury, and Roger’s correspondence
\\Uli Mr. Hopkins on the subject was made to
indicate not only a minute personal knowledge
of the estates, hut a definite scheme as to their
future disposition, Speaking of Roger’s Army
life, his Lordship found evidence enough that
he really liked his profession, and worked hard

to render himself an efficient officer.

In his minute survey of the undisputed life
of Roger Tichborne, hia Lordship came, on
Monday, to the period when Roger began to
think of going abroad. It was shown that durmg
this stage frequent correspondence passed be¬
tween him and Mr. Slaughter as to his will
and the nature of his interest m the estates.
Among the numerous letters read by his Lord-
ship, the most interesting were those from and
to Lad v Doughty. On the question of Roger a
affection for lliss Doughty his Lordship differed
entirely from Dr. ifenealy, and noted the
learned counsel’s definition of it— humbug
as a new forensic term. Roger s letters were
copiously cited in proof of. its having been a
“ warm and devoted affection, a pure and
noble attachment.” When his Lordship traced
Roger to Canterbury, a crucial point had to be

Vt TUe Lord Chief Justice, on Tuesday, raised
a r,umber of crucial questions in his review of
Borer Tichbome’s life. One had relation to
Roger's disputed visit to MelapiUo. By an ex¬
haustive process his Lordship proved that if the
visit was made at all it must have been on
the letnro from Santiago to Valparaiso. There

accounted for, and the jury would have to
corner the possibility of Roger liavmg spent
this time, or part of it, at Melapilla on his way

Lord Romilly has given judgment ou a num¬
ber of important representative cases heard by
him at his last sitting. In Phillips’s case ho
decided that the transfer could not be sus¬
tained. Those of Chatteris and Lawson were,
however, held valid. Ou a series of claims by
policyholders who had obtained loans on their
policies his Lordship’s judgment was adverse.

At the sitting of the Central Crimiual Court,
on Tuesday, John Lakeman, having been sen¬
tenced by the Recorder to ton years penal
servitude for buTglary, this being his third con-
viction, the moment the sentence was pro¬
nounced became frantic, said he would rather
be sentenced to death, and dared anyone to
touch him. Several policemen entered the dock,
and after a desperate struggle the prisoner was
removed to a cell. Pleading guilty to the in¬
dictment of stealing American bonds and other
securities, the property of the Exchange Tele¬
graph Company and of Captain Davies, tue
managing director, Lewis Archdeacon, a clerk,
was. on Tuesday, sentenced to eighteen months
hard labour. Captain Maunsell, who assaulted
the Duke o! Cambridge in Pall-mall, was sen¬
tenced to a month’s imprisonment, without
bard labour.

Two men, said to have been engaged in a
'systematic course of robbery at railway sta¬
tions, were, on Tuesday, tried at the Surrey
Sessions, and sentenced to hvo years penal
servitude.

Mr Lewis Gregory was summoned at the
Mansion House by the South-Eastern Railway
Company for having travelled m a carnage of
a class superior to that for winch he had ob¬
tained a ticket. After hearing the evidence,
Sir Robert Carden said it had been proved to
liis satisfaction that the defendant purposely,
knowingly, and wilfully travelled m a h * 1 * ] 3 ^"
class carriage instead of a third ; and, it being
his duty as a magistrate to protect the railway
authorities, he fined the defendant 40s.

At the Clerkenwell Police Court, on Tuesday,
Samuel Dyas and Arthur Sylvanus Cattell were
charged with having attempted to defraud the
Great Northern Railway Company. Tha
magistrate ordered Cattell_to pay forty shillings
anucoBts and Dyaa ten shillings and costa.

Abraham Ilogetoran, who is charged with
embezzling diamonds and other jewels to the
amount of £3000, from his partner, Alexander
Raab was again placed before Mr. Flowers, at
Bow-street, on {Saturday, and committed for
trial. ’

The Countess de Civry, or De Bar, was
brought up on remand, at Marlborough-street,
on Thursday week, charged with obtaining
goods by fraud from different tradesmen.

TUB ASHANTEE WAR I INQUABIM, THE FIRST STATION ON THE ROAD TO THE PRAH.
FROM, jl SKETCH BY OCR SFECIAI. ARTIST.

MADAME PAKEPA-ROSA.

This accomplished vocalist, whose death was recorded last
week, was corn in Edinburgh , in the year 1839, her father
having been Baron Georgians de Boyeska, a Wallachian noble,
and her mother Miss Seguin, whose brother (Edward) was
eminent as a concert and stage basso, both here and in America.
It was in 1855 that the young Euphrosyne Parepa made her d4but,
at Malta, as Amina, in “La Sounambula,” the stage having
been chosen as her profession on the death of her father, whose
marriage with a Protestant had deprived the daughter of all
rights of heritage. The first success of the young singer was
followed by her appearance in grand opera at Naples, Genoa,
Rome, Florence, Madrid, and Lisbon, her reception having been
everywhere of the most brilliant kind. Her voice was a genuine
soprano, of extensive compass and fine quality, while her highly-

cultivated execution and her general musical knowledge gave
her exceptional advantages, both mechanical and intel¬
lectual ; among her man}' attainments having been a perfect
acquaintance with several languages, in each of which she could
sing with equal facility. Madamo Parepa’s first stage appear¬
ance in this country was in 1857, as Elvira, in “ I JPuntani,” I
at the Lycoum Theatre, during the temporary occupation
of that house by the Royal Italian Opera company,
after the burning of Covent Garden Theatre ; and it was
in that company, in its present home, that the singer
was last heard in London, in 1872, when she appeared as
Donna Anna, in “ Don Giovanni,” and as Norma. Several
years previous to this latter date Madame Parepa had been
marriea to a Captain in the British Army, but was soon left a
widow.

It was during her professional tour in America in 1866

| that she made the acquaintance of Herr Carl Rosa, the
eminent violinist; and in the following year they were married.
A second, and also successful, American tour was followed by
their recent return to this country, and the formation of Herr
Rosa's English opera company, which has been pursuing a
profitable career in the provinces for several months past, and
was to have commenced a London season at Drury Lano
Theatre on March 2. This scheme included the production
of a version of Wagner’s “Lohengrin,” with the important
feature of Madaine Parepa-Rosa’s appearance as the heroine,
Elsa. This project has been sadly frustrated by the premature
death of the accomplished artist, w'hich took place early on the
morning of the 22nd ult. ; and has deprived the lyric stage of
one of its brightest ornaments, while leaving a deep grief
among relatives and friends, by whom the deceased was loved
and esteemed for her virtues and merits.

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS

FEB - 7 , 1874

THE RIVAL STATESMEN SPEAKING.

The appearances last week — one upon the hustings at Black-
heath, the other at the Aylesbury farmers’ market dinner—of
Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Disraeli, who have challenged, each
other to a duel of mutual disparagement before their respective
constituents and political supporters, were highly characteristic
of English public life. We have taken these two leading in¬
cidents of the General Election for the subjects of two Illus¬
trations in this week’s-paper ; and we presume that most of our
readers have already j>eruacd the speeches of both the right
honourable gentlemen. It will therefore be enough to notice
the local and personal conditions under which they spoke upon
those occasions.

Mr. Gladstone’s first speech was delivered, on Wednesday
week, to an open-air meeting of six or seven thousand people
on Blacklieath. The right hon. gentleman, accompanied by
Mrs. and Miss Gladstone, with Mr. W. F. Kock (chairman of
the Greenwich Liberal Committee), the Rev. Canon Miller,
Vicar of Greenwich, and other friends, occupied a covered
waggon, which was stationed nearly opposite the Ranger's
house. The w’eafcher was not quite pleasant on Blackheath :
there w r as a mist and drizzle of rain ; but the people did not
seem to mind this discomfort, in their eagerness to Bee and
hear the mo 9 t distinguished English statesmen of the day. The
proceedings were commenced punctually at three o’clock. Mr.
< Gladstone was received with the loudest and heartiest cheering.
He spoke above an hour, and his sayings frequently drew’ from
the assembly fresh bursts of cheering, sometimes of triumphant
laughter. Beginning with some remarks on the present need
for a dissolution of Parliament, he expressed his regret that he
had not been able to attend closely to the local affairs of Green¬
wich since he was elected one of its representatives ; but he
pointed to the arrangements made by the present Government
for the better permanent use of Greenwich Hospital. He then
examined the charges against his Administration made in Mr.
Disraeli’s printed .address to the electors of Buckinghamshire.
With regard to foreign policy, ho said that Mr. Disraeli s party,
if they had been in office in 1870, w’ould have been likely to
involve this country in the war between France and Germany.
He denied Mr. Disraeli’s assertion that the present Goveniment
had compromised the freedom of our trade w’ith China and Japan
by surrendering to the Dutch a treaty which had bound them
not to conquer the shores of Sumatra commanding the Strait
of Malacca The questions, how r eveh, upon which the general
election w ould mainly turn were questions of finance and eco¬
nomy. It would now he (he said) in the powder of Parliament
to do three things: to relieve and reform local taxation,
with the removal of a burdensome toll in the tow r n of Green¬
wich ; secondly, to repeal the income tax j and, thirdly, to
lessen taxes on some articles of general consumption. He was
not in love with taxes, and he would like to repeal them all;
hut he would never relax his grasp of any tax until he w’as well
assured that the sendee of the country could be carried on
without it. Three subjects must be considered to determine
this : they w ere the existing surplus, the .adjustment of taxa¬
tion, and economy. He had been enabled in four or five years,
from 1S62 to 1866, out of large surpluses to make large re¬
missions of taxation. The Tory party had been three times in
office and had not made any such remission, because they had
never any surplus. The reason of this was their wanton and
needless expenditure. Iu lets than two years and a half, a
time of profound peace, they add d three millions and a half
to the expenditure, not icckouiug the cost of the Abyssinian
War, which w*as above nine millions. The present Government
had reduced the expenditure by two millions and a half. With
regard to future adjustment of txxition, if the income tax w*ere
to be abolished, property o. g v t t>» make some other fair contri¬
bution to the revenue. As for economy, lie asked Mr. Disraeli,
would the Conservative or Tory party* mend their manners in
this respect if they had the chance given them once more? He
(Mr. Gladstone) had often advised them to do so, but they
would not take his advice. Only let them be fixed and nailed to
that principle. Mr. Gladstone, in conclusion, declared that
what w*as called the Conservative reaction was mere weariness
and loss of energy ; but be insisted upon the necessity for
union in the Liberal party. Without this condition he should
not be able to lead or serve them. His speech having ended amidst
great applause, a vote of confidence in him was proposed by
Dr. Purvis, seconded by Dr. W. C. Bennett, and passed by
acclamation. The assembly then dispersed. Mr. Gladstone
spoke again, on Saturday, in Beresford-square, Woolwich, and,
on Monday, at New Cross, Deptford.

Mr. Disraeli, accompanied by his private secretary, Mr.
Montague Corry, dined at the Farmers’ Ordinary at the George
Hotel, Aylesbury, on Saturday afternoon, and the company
after dinner adjourned to the Assembly Rooms for his speech.
Two or three thousand persons filled the hall ; the galleries
were occupied by ladies. The chair was takeu by Colonel
Pratt. The right hon. gentleman was, of course, welcomed
with very hearty cheering. He began with a complaint of the
manner in which Mr. Gladstone had suddenly dissolved
Parliament. It was an unfair attempt to catch the
country by surprise, like the AshAUteo way of fighting,
lie defended himself against Mr. Gladstone’s assertion
that he had combined with the Roman Catholic prelates to
defeat the Irish Universities Bill. He spoke of his having de¬
clined to form a Government after that event, and blamed Mr.
Gladstone for keeping back from Parliament his c^rrespoudeuee
with the Qneeu noon this subject. Commenting upon the
Prime Minister’s electioneering address, he objected to the
mention of a repeal of the income tax as a gross bribe, like
his promise to take off the bnrden of a local toll at Greenwich.
He examined the argument that the income tax was but a tem-
I urary expedient to allow of removing some indirect taxation.
It. was estimated by Baron Rothschild that the financial
elianges now projected would he a loss of revenue to the amount
of nine or ten millions There would be a deficiency of four
millions and a half. How was this to be made up ? It must
he, as Mr. Gladstone himself said a few years ago, by increas¬
ing taxation of property, most likely by the house tax ; by
imposing trades licences, as Baron Rothschild said ; and by
augmenting succession duties, attacking the inheritance of the
orphan and widow. He censured this vague, ambiguous, and
desultory manner of hrii ing forward a financial scheme. It
should have been first submitted to the criticism of PaiLament,
instead of being cast into a general election. Mr. Disraeli next
turn* .! to reviewing the conduct of the Government during the
hist five years. Its harassing interference had made everybody
uncomfortable, and Mr. Lowe seemed to glory in doing so. He
especially accused Mr. Gladstone of mischievous behaviour
witli reference to foreign policy. The Crimean War cost
200,000 lives and £ 200 , 000 , 0 (H) of money. He deplored that
Avar ; it. was not unjust, but it was unnecessary, because Russia
was tempted t>> cross the Pruth by the infirmity of purpose nm |
vacill ifcion of England. Mr. Gladstone was in fault lor that;
1 , .ni Palmerston, w ho knew it, was in the habit of say ing so Then*
u ><* it f >r • M’ uistor ho had rvy-nsicned the Criiimnn War, ami
h*** d *" rX nn i'Gul waste of human life and public treasure,
;•• • •• h’ *» vP D.m > moiuy of misping some dockyard

L *-^ vi - cuvs >: tro. v-nineut clerks?*Thtj

Abyssinian War, too, was caused by the grossest neglect and
carelessness of foreign affairs, in a Government of which Mr.
Gladstone was a member. It was a scandal to the British
Crown ; it weakened our influence in Europe ; it was Avhispered
of with contempt in the bazaars in India, and might have en¬
dangered our Eastern empire. The Conservative Government,
at the instance of the present Lord Derby, one of the most
prudent, hut not the least resolute, of English Ministers, at
length took action in that matter. It cost nine millions,
because time evas precious, as the affair had been so neglected ;
but the expedition, under Lord Napier of Magdala, was com¬
pletely successful. The neglect or mismanagement of foreign
affairs might therefore have very costly, as well as ignominious,
consequences. A Minister who affected to despise foreign
policy would bring us to grievous loss and national
ishonour. Now, he had accused the present Govern

meut of an act of great folly and ignorance, concerning
the Strait of Malacca. Mr. Gladstone seemed to think little
and to know nothing about this, but it was a very important
matter, as the Strait of Malacca was the great highway of com¬
merce between India and Europe on the one hand, and China
and Japan on the other. One side of the strait was formed by
the Malay' peninsula, under the control of England. On the
other side was the isle of Sumatra. Mr. Gladstone’s Govern¬
ment had permitted the Dutch, if they pleased, to take the
whole of Sumatra ; in exchange for this, we had taken the
Dutch settlements and engagements on the Gold Coast, which
at once brought us into the Ashantoe War. After exposing, as
he said, the inaccuracy of Mr. Gladstone’s statements upon
this subject, Mr. DisraeL returned to questions of finan ce. In
general, he thought, the income tax should be reserved for a
war tax, and it would then give immense power to the foreign
policy of this country. But it might also be used, as when Sir
Robert Peel first imposed it, to effect a reform of the tariff. It
would be no relief to abolish the income tax and substitute
other taxes more vexatious. Let the income tax die a natural
death, and let the surplus of revenue be applied to relieve
other parts of the public burdeu. The income tax was now at 3d. ;
he (Mr. Disraeli) left it at 4d. ; and it would soon disappear.
Thorelief of local taxation, of burdenson land, had been one of the
earliest objects he sought, when first elected for Buckinghamshire.
As for the land question, he was anxious to secure the independ¬
ence of the farmer, not doing injustice to the landowner. He
and his friends were ready last Session to support the principle
of Mr. Read’s bill. If tenants generally held imder agreements
which secured them a two-years’ notice to quit, that might be
the foundation for a good understanding. The condition of the
farm labourers might be improved, and great improvement had
been made ; but to offer to relieve their social wants by merely
giving them political privileges was the part of demagogues, not
of statesmen. That was, indeed, a very large question, which
would have to be dealt with some day. In conclusion, Mr.
DisraeL promised to uphold the institutions of the country, the
rights of the people, and the honour of the county of Bucking¬
ham. He was repeatedly cheered throughout his speech. The
meeting was afterwards addressed by Sir R. Harvey and Mr.
Talley, and a vote of thanks was passed by acclamation.

Mr. DisraeL arranged to bo at Newport Pagnell on 'Wed¬
nesday' last, for a second address to his Buckinghamshire con¬
stituents.

NATIONAL SPOBTS.

The long monotony of the winter recess has at last been broken,
as far as the turf is concerned, by the publication of the weights
for the various spring handicaps. The entries for most of the
handicaps—especially for the long-distance races — exhibit a
decided falling off from the standard of previous years ; and it
is to us a matter of regret to see 159 horses entering the lists
for a mile scramble at Lincoln, while the old-established Great
Northamptonshire Stakes, run over the two-mile course, can
only secure a miserable entry of thirty-seven. It was very dif¬
ferent in the old days, when Stampedo, carrying a heavy
weight, ran first past the post in a field of twenty ; and when
Fair water, with a yet heavier burden on her back, and Dollar
and John Davis were successively victorious over large fields of
good horses. Nowadays we have to put up with, few runners,
and such sorry victors as Midsummer, Messager, and Flurry —
animals but little removed from platers. However, it is no
good groaning over the altered state of racing. What was
once a pastime is now a profession, and we must accept it that
those w T ho attempt to make a livelihood by keeping racehorses
have the best right to set the fashion. Our only wonder is,
when we regard the question from the professional and gambling
point of view, how this system of short-distance training can
be made to pay. To win any race is difficult enough ; but
surely’ many disappointments must be borne by a roan who
gambles on the chance of his horse proving victorious over
from thirty' to forty competitors in the short scramble of a mile.

As, at the time of writing, we have not received notice of
the acceptances for the general body of the spring handicaps,
w'e shall at present only make a few* remarks on the Lincoln
Handicap. That the weights have been pretty satisfactorily
adjusted is evidenced by the fact that seventy eight out of the
original entry have cried content wfitli their imposts. Among
the top weights Andred looks w ell w ith no more than 8 et. 5 lb.
to carry', for he is a really brilliant miler, and we think he is
sure to beat all those handicapped above 8 st. In the next
division w’e notice the names of Hochstapler, Anton, Light¬
house, and Salvanos, all of whom are most favourably treated.
Unfortunately, they all labour under suspicion of infirmity
though Lighthouse, probably, has nothing much the matter with
him. and, if the representative of the stable on the day, w ill very
likely start first favourite. Of the lightly-Aveighted horses we
should think that W ild Myrtle ought to have a good chance
with only fist. 13 lb to carry, seeing that she ran second in the
* . * r nn< * ' VIls always rather above the average of racers. Maid
of Kent, too, cannot complain of fist. 12lb. ; and the
Lemonade colt, at fist. 41b., trained as he is by one of the
dangerous Dawsons, is almost certain to be a good favourite
before the day. °

FORSTER’S LIFE OF DICKENS.

We have received the third and concluding volume of J [r ,
I’oretcr’a “ Life of Charles Dickens, published by
Chapman and Hall. It comprises a period of
from the writing of “ David Copperheld to the anthor’a
. i, t _ Th« Liooranhioid mt,..

they seem to nave oeeu, WlUlUimuiuuiu-

want of worldly prudence, which appeared injfc,'
Dickens’s boyhood. There is also au mcreamB, ^ ot
fresh and enthusiastic zest for the labours of his envj,
tive genius, and that frank enjoyment.of his
fortune and fame, which won our sympathy in the lintfifS'
years of the popular novelist’s successful career, re¬
production of “ David Copperfield ” it was generally feltU y
most attached readers of this gifted author that hia ritUhv
of native good humour hail been somewhat impaired bv t
excessive draughts upon its literary and social expression j
some points of literary w'orkmanaliip, especially in tbeploiJ!
construction of his stories, there w as a notable advance, p
practised skill of the artist is very great in “ Bleak lion/’
though greater dramatic pow*er is shown in “Copperftjp
But the engaging spirit of unaffected cheerfulness is not soe™

stantly present, and the ridicule is more allied to bitter

in such later tales as “Little Dorrit ” and “Our Mutu
Friend.” Mr. Forster, one of the best of critics, observestk
the first mentioned of these two stories added nothing
to its author’s reputation, and that the second will never rt^
with his higher efforts for want of “freshness and natural 4
velopment. The candid biographer is equally ready to confer
“the underlying tone of bitterness” that ruus through ti
books which followed “Copperfield,” the absence of ach^r,
tone, and the resentful anger which gave too aggressivei fori
to satire.

The offensive attitudo w'hich Dickens now began to ne- uU ,,
with regard to w'hat his biographer terms “national btv-
tutions and conventional distinctions,” is partly ascribed L
the effect of periodical writing. As conductor of a weekly
paper, like Household Words and All the Year Hound, bo wi
liable to contract the besetting faults of journalism. “ Tit
decisive, peremptory, dogmatic style” into which one fc
betrayed by “a habit of rapid remark on topics of the dayf
is pleaded by Mr. Forster as au excuse for the “tone of bitt*
ness ” which he detects and deplores. We scarcely think, ho*,
ever, that such an effect could have been due to such a camp-
for some of the Bweetest-tempered, the mildest, and kityfef
men w T e have ever known were employed far more .tin
Dickens ever was in the daily office of sternly denouncing i
host of public abuses or controversial fallacies. The true cause
lay deeper, as wc beUeve, in an impatient sense of personal
discontent. But what ailed him so much, in the midst of lm
great renown, with increasing pecuniary rew ards for his work,
and with a large circle of admiring, trusty friends? Mr.
Forster, in chapter vii. of this volume, under the title of “ Dis¬
appointments and Distastes,” offers some remarks in explana¬
tion of the painful restlessness that beset Dickens when he wis
forty-five years of age. We do not care to look closely into
this part of his life. The letter in which he told his friend oi
a certain private unhappiness may now’ be read by those who
wish to do so. But they will know little more of the nialtir

hold Words,” at the time of a well-known arrangement*
corning liia domestic affairs. This took place in May, 1S5S
Mr. Forster does not shrink from expressing his disapprove A
the course that w r as taken, and it is much to be desired tint
the whole subject should be allowed to drop.

But we arc told, at the same time, of another “ disappoint¬
ment and distaste,” which is more likely to have affected tb
tone of the novelist’s later stories with the “ bitterness”already
confessed. He did not like “what is called society’’iu Eng¬
land, and he was not satisfied to leave it alone, but he was ruignr
with it for being w'hat it is. “ The inequalities of rankvhice
he secretly resented,” we are told, “took more galling fis
well as glaring prominence from the contrast oi the ne¬
cessities he had gone through with the fame that lu .1
come to him ; and wheu the forces he most affected k
despise assumed the form of barriers he could not easily over¬
leap, he w r as led to appear frequently intolerant (for he very
seldom was really so) in opinions and language.” This can
only mean that Dickens thought his acknowledged rare genim
and literary success ought to have gained for him more cam-

E lete access to some aristocratic and fashionable circles tiian
e found actually open to him ; and that he was exasperate!
by finding himself treated as not quite the equal of a Luke w
Marquis. Vet he pretended not to care for such distiuctioa',
or for the amount of personal attention he received. “He was
sensitive in a passionate degree to praise and blame, which vc:
he made it, for the most part, a point of pride to assume unlit*
ference to.” Herein we find the real explanation of much tim*
is sad in the history of his inner life. We cannot but thins
it very probable that the failure to achieve some objecte «
social ambition, in those particular quarters, and upon thos*
unusual terms, which he thought he had a right to insist
may have reacted upon his more private sources of kappurt®*
It is all over now j but these notorious experience*
seemed to jar w ith the moral teaching of his hooks, vjuc
were once welcomed as the best illustrations of a blesstum
of life—the art of getting the utmost innocent joy from
indulgence of domestic and social affections. This teaching «
his books was mainly right and true ; the sincerity of
author, while engaged in writing them, is beyond all aoubi.
The only comment to be made in this instance, as in many 0 *!
similar kind, is that a man of genius, like another man, isuoti^
variably endowed with moral strength to act upon h» 0 JJ
wisest resolves. The inllucnces of a rapid rise iu woiM;
position are dangerous to peace of mind, when self-esteem
the love of admiration have been fostered by too early renown*
We are told, in this biography, that the determination
DickenB to become a pubUc reader of his own writings, f Dli ..
travel about for that purpose, w'as in great measure due
'•restless domestic discontent.” But it may also have I' ^
confirmed by his finding t hat “ what is caUed society 'jy,”
suit him ; for he could not five in retirement, and the p’yf ^
was a substitute for ordinary intercourse with the wort
general. He had removed from London to Gattain)I, ®
Rochester, where he saw only a few intimate friends. Tbc jt
series of public readings took place in 1858, at 8fc. Martin s j* ,
and was followed by a provincial tour, extending to Irri^J
which yielded him a net weekly profit of £300, and son ? tD, J s * <

time of his death, that the renewal of these readings in 1869
had much to do with the latent brain disease which struok
him down a twelvemonth afterwards. According to the
statement of the eminent physician, Sir Thomas Watson,
called to see him in April, 1869, he was even then on the
brink of an attack of paralysis, or possibly of apo¬
plexy, “the result of extreme hurry, overwork, and excite¬
ment, incidental to his readings." His work done after that
consisted of the six numbers extant of “ Edwin Drood," which
show no diminution of power. A few pages written for this
story, having lately been found among the author’s manuscripts,
are here first printed ; they contain Mr. Sapsea’s account of the
circumstances under which he seceded from “the eight dub,"
in the town of Cloisterhnm.

Mr. Forster has occupied the whole of chapter xiv. with a
critical essay upon the genius and talents of Dickens as a
novelist, which is marked, as usual w ith him, by sound literary
scholarship and discernment. He thinks, a a most of us do,
that the earlier works of this delightful author—“ Pickwick,"
“Nickleby,” “Oliver Twist." “The Old Curiosity Shop," and
“ Martin Chuz/.lewit"—are better than those of later date.
As we recall the pleasure which they gave us many years ago,
aud which they are still capable of affording to new generations,
wo feel hound in gratitude to put down this faithful narrative
of his personal history with a renewed expression of our esteem
for one of the greatest literary favourites of the English people.

ROYAL INSTITUTION LECTURES.

CONTINUITY OK ANIMAL LIFE.

Professor P. Martin Duncan, M.D., P.R.S., began his third
lecture on Paheoutology, on Thursday w eek, with some remarks
on the nature of natural-history classilication, arguing that, as
fossils are the mineralised relics of past faunas and floras, they
must be classified upon the same principles as living animals and
plants, because the laws w’hich regulate living things have
operated continuously. Zoologists have classified forms by their
external resemblances and dissimilarities ; but their only correct
method is by associating those which have structures in com¬
mon, and such structures as appear to involve the presence of
certain others. This mode of classification, which involves the
idea of plan, the Professor illustrated by referring to the dis¬
tinctive characteristics observable in the structure of mammals
and birds. Paleontologists employ the same method, and the
involved or correlated structures are of the very greatest im¬
portance when fragments alone are discoverable. The nature
of the succession of forms in a limited area and the principles
of geological classification W'ere next considered, and the old
theory of repeated destructions and new* creations was dis¬
proved by the application of such Facts as there being porsistent
types found in all strata (of which globogerina, caryophyllia,
and lingula were cited as examples), and the last geological
formations containing both extinct forms and many which still
Uourisli; and it was shown that fossils frequently fill up gaps in
the series. After noticing the relation of “ colonies” to this
question, the Professor commented on the importance of inter¬
calary and linear types. Of the former he selected the iguanodon
as a dinosauriau form, whose remains were discovered by Dr.
Mantell in the Wenlden of Sussex ; and then, referring to large
diagrams, he pointed out the structures which demonstrate its
alliance to both reptiles and birds. The probable habits and
locality of this huge creature, a model of wdiich may be seen
at the Crystal Palace, were also commented on, as well as the
physical geography of its age. The mastodons and elephants,
ranging from the mioccne time to the present, were taken as
linear types, and it w r as urged that no reason existed for re-
fusing, without evidence, the genealogical relationship between
consecutive faunas and floras.

WliBER AND HIS TIMES.

Sir Julius Benedict, at the Friday evening meeting, Jan. 30,
gave a discourse on the Life and Times of his master and
friend, Carl Maria von Weber. Baron Franz Anton, his father,
was described as a very eccentric person, w'ho. after many
changes, became the chief of a company of str oiling players ;
and, m consequence, his son, a weakly, delicate child, born
Dec. 18, 1786, suffered much, morally and physically. His
father, being connected by marriage with Mozart, determined
that Carl should also be a musical prodigy, and accordingly not
only set him, before he was four years old, to sing and play the
piano, but urged him to compose while unacquainted with the
law T s of harmony. The boy obtained friends and patrons, and
at the age of fourteen was a student under Michael Haydn,
with Sigismond Ncukomm. After various changes he
gained the friendship of Meyerbeer, the son of a banker at
Berlin, w hen the development of his genius began. His early
opera, “ Sylvana," wus unsuccessful at Frankfort in 1810 ; but
in 1812, when greatly roused by the struggle for German
independence, he set to music the patriotic songs of Arndt and
Korner still popular. On Christmas Day, 1816, he became
(japellmeister to the King of Saxony, who, unfortunately, pre¬
ferred the Italian opera to the German, and Weber suffered
much through the intrigues of his rival, Morlacchi. While at
Dresden, beside other works, ho composed the “Invitation a
la Valse,” a w’ork which marks a transition in dance music;
and into this, characterised then by tame sentimentality, he
infused life and vigour by introducing passion, dignity, and
simplicity. In 1820 he produced his musical drama “ Dor
Freischiitz," the subject of which had long been working in his
mind. In February, 1821, Sir Julius Benedict said it was his
happy lot to become Weber’s pupil; and he gave an interest¬
ing account of his introductory interview at Dresden, followed
hy copious details of the first performance of “ Der
Freischiitz" at Berlin, on June 18 in that year, when it
was highly successful in spite of many technical drawbacks.
This great work, though so warmly received by the pnblic,
was severely criticised by musicians ; and Sir Julius attributed
its success to Weber’s breaking through the conventionality of
the Italian opera, and adapting his music to the nature and
position of the individual. He made his characters stand out
in relief ; they breathe arid live ; and in this his influence show T s
itself in the works of Meyerbeer, Mendelssohn, and Wagner.
“Der Freischiitz" was also most enthusiastically received at
Vienna, Paris, and London, but with small pecuniary benefit to
the author. It excited little attention at Dresden, w’here he
was still treated very unworthily. Eventually he selected
from very many offers an engagement at Vienna, w'here he
producei. on Oct. 25, 1823, his great work, “ Euryanthe at
first coim^Feceived, through the defective plot and the great
length <jf the libretto. His health was now breaking fast, and
ho Fell into complete inactivity, from which he was only roused
by his earnest anxiety to provide for his beloved wife and
family, knowing his end to be near. Coutrary to medical
advice, he accepted the earnest invitation of Charles Kemble,
in 1824, to come to England, and he began immediately to
study our language, in order to compose his opera “ Oberon. ’
After a warm reception at Paris, on his way hither, he arrived
in London in March, 1826 ; and on April 9 finished the overture,
writing oil the score, “ Soli Dqo Gloria !I ” l< There is no similar
instance in the history of music," said Sir Julius, “ of a work ,at
once so tender and bo vigorous, so original and yet so musician¬

like, being written under such conditions. ” On April 12 the opera
was performed with great success, and Weber’s reception was
overwhelming ; but the conceit, on which he had built great
hopes, was a complete failure from various causes. At it Miss
Stephens sang his last composition to the words of Moore, and
there he fell on a sofa, shattered and almost breathless. His
end was drawiug near, though he still hoped to meet his wile
again; and on the morning of June 5 he was found in the
sleep of death. His body, buried first at Moorfields, was
removed to Dresden in 1844, mainly through the exertions
of Richard Wagner, who, in his farew ell address over his grave,
said, * ‘ There never was a more German composer than thou.
Into whatever fathomless realms thy genius carried thee, thou
didst remain chained by the most tender links to the heart of
the German people." The musical illustrations of the lecture
from Weber’s works included his part-songs, “Bright sword ”
and “ Lntzow’s wild hunt,” and the cavatina, “0 Araby ! "
Sir Julius Benedict gave the “ Invitation it la Valse,” and, in
other instrumental music on the pianoforte, was assisted by Mr.
VV. Ganz. Mr. George Busk, F.R.S., the treasurer aud vice-
president, was in the chair.

THE MODES AND CONDITIONS OF MENTAL ACTION.

Professor Groom Robertson devoted his third lecture, given
on Saturday last, to the most difficult part of Kant’s Critical
Doctrine—the answer to the question, How* is the pure science
of Nature possible? or, How* is it possible for the mind to
determine anything necessarily about Nature? It was said
that the mind does so w’lien it declares that every event must
have a cause. About the fact there can be no doubt. Nature
can never become the subject of synthetic judgment, a priori,
if for our knowledge we are dependent on mere experience that
comes to us ; in otner words, if Nature has an existence quite
independent of the mind. It can be known, as it is known,
only if the mind w hich so judges of itself constitutes or makes
Nature. This agrees with the solution of the question about
pure geometry. But Nature is the w orld of experience, the
complex of all the objects of experience. How, then, can the
mind make or constitute that which confessedly it has to
acquire ? or how can that be experience which the mind, in
order to know* anything a priori about it, must constitute ? The
Professor explained how Kant met this difficulty. The matter
of experience, he said, is the variety of phenomena constituted
of sensations received in space aud time, aud this matter cannot
bo empirically got. Nature is the complex of the objects of
experience constituted through or according to fixed laws,
which cannot be acquired as the matter of experience is. The
only alternative is that the form must be innate—that the
necessary law’s of experience spring from the mind, and that
experience in the full and effective sense that is meant when we
speak of Nature is constituted by the mind imposing law s upon
phenomena Kant showed that synthetic judgments a priori
are everywhere possible. Synthesis (putting together) means
activity and spontaneity, as opposed to receptivity ; and in
sense the mind is not active at all. But the mind can act, can
combine ; aud manifests another faculty — namely, that of
thought or understanding, which also has its fixed conditions.
To discover these is the purpose of the second part of Kant’s
Critical task. Thinking is not knowledge, though there is no
knowledge without thinking. The mind puts together in
knowing, and thought is such putting together ; but it depends
upon what is put together whether the result be knowledge.
The mind can have no knowledge by way of intuition
a priori, but, freely constructing figures by productive imagina¬
tion, it puts together their parts or elements, and makes
universal determinations accordingly. The latter part of the
lecture was devoted to the illustration of Kant’s celebrated
table of the categories or concepts of the understanding :—1,
Quantity (including unity, plurality, totality) *, 2, Quality
(reality, negation, limitation) ; 3, Relation (subsistence or inhe¬
rence (substance and accident], causality and dependence [cause
and effect], community [reciprocal action between agent and
patient]); 4, Modality (possibility—impossibility; existence—
non-existence ; necessity—contingency). In expounding this

table the Professor referred to Kant’s method of interpretation
by schemata (thus, number is the pure schema of quantity), and
explained the way by which the categories may be applied to
mathematics, physics, and metaphysics. He also showed how
Kant wrought out his theory in revulsion from the scepticism
of Hume, and how Stuart Mill, in his “ Logie,” has attempted,
from his own point of view, a task corresponding with that in
Kant’s “Transcendental Logic."

At the next Friday evening meeting Dr. Doran, F.S. A., will
give a discourse on the Opponents of Sliakspeare ; and on
Saturday next Mr. R. Bosworth Smith will begin a course of
four lectures on Mohammed and Mohammedanism.

CURIOUS WILLS.

WILL OF JKliAN CONNAXA, OF ANTWERP,

(Contributed by the Author “Flemish Interiors.")

The will of Jchan Connaxa offers so curious a history that it
has served almost without alteration for the plot of an admir¬
able comedy by C. G. Etienne, performed in Paris with great
success in 1810.

It is mentioned by P 6 re Garasse in bis “Doctrine Curicuse,"
who states it (p. 926) to be of an earlier date than that of M.
Itapin, who died in 1608, or even that of the Docfce Budti,
deceased 1540, of both of whose wills he speaks at pp. 920 and
922. P. Garasse also asserts that Connaxa’s will is alluded
to in the “Dialogues of Csesarius" (Philosopher and Physician,
died 1551, aged ninety-one). Moreover this entertaining history
has been related as an actuality by Angeliuus Gaza 1 us, a
Jesuit, in his “ Pia Hilaria,” published at Antwerp (1629),
and there can be no reasonable doubt of its authenticity.

The Sieur Jehau Connaxa w T as a merchant-prince or burgher
of Antwerp, who, having but tw T o daughters, coheiresses,
married them to the two most illustrious noblemen of that
city. Notwithstanding the large dowries brought by the
respectivea brides, the two sons-in-law r still looked with an
envious eye on the remaining portion of his large fortune which
the father-in-law* had reserved for himself. They consequently
came to an understanding with their wives to induce the old
man insensibly to make over to them the whole of his property.
Adulations, invitations, caresses, promises, were employed ; in
fact, no means were left untried to obtain the coveted end, till
at length the good father-in-law, persuaded that his remaining
years would continue to be passed as agreeably, w'eakly yielded
to the persuasions of his children, aud ceded to them all they
asked.

For a few weeks all went on marvellously well; the same care,
the same attentions, the same tendernesses were lavished upon
him. Imperceptibly, however, these demonstrations of affection
began to wear off: marks of kindness diminished, caresses
became colder, invitations more rare. At last they ceased
altogether, and when the toq-confiding father presented himself
at their houses unasked, he soon began to find his visits were
inopportune and his company an intrusion.

Now began the chapter of regrets, but, alas ! all too late:

the mistake was irreparable. The old man, however, who w'as
no fool, w’hile secretly devouring his grief, bethought him of a
method of recovering, if not the affection of his children, at
least its outward semblance, and of securing to him-elf the
restitution of enough of his own too-geuerously-bestowed sub-
stauco, to live on : this was his scheme —

He went to see one of his friends, a rich banker, and begged
him to favour him with the loan of 1000 crowns for the space
of three hours only. “ Pray send me this sum," said he, “ to¬
morrow morning early, and at mid* day, when I shall be at
dinner with my fami y, let one of your clerks come with a
message from you to ask me to lend you the amount in ques¬
tion, and insist on not returning without it. One thiDg only I
beg you : let this secret remain entirely between you aud my¬
self/’ The banker acquiesced, and Connaxa proceedc'd to call
at the houses of his sons-in-law to invite them to dine with
him on the morrow. The young men, somewhat reluctantly,
it is true, accepted the summons ; for, knowing the circum¬
stances of their father-in-law, they did not expect he could
give them much of a banquet : however, at the appointed hour
husbands and wives presented themselves and took their seats
at table. The dinner was well served, and they were busy
discussing it w hen a loud knock was heard at the door. Thu
servant who went to open it returned, saying that it was the
banker’s messenger, who had called for the thousand crowns
he had promised to lend him ; and this he repeated aloud, so
that every one in the room might hear him.

Connaxa, without looking round, replied he had visitors with
him at dinner, aud could not he disturbed to attend to business.
At this the sons-in-law looked at each other knowingly, as
if perfectly well aw*are of the real objection of their poverty-
stricken relation. The messenger, however, continuing urgent,
Connaxa pushed back his chair with a show’ of impatience, and,
begging his astonished guests to excuse him a moment that he
might get rid of the fellow by satisfying his demand, rose and
went into an adjoining room, where he counted over the coin
with a great deal of jingle, ringing all the large pieces, so that
there should be no mistake at all about its existence, then dis¬
missing the man with his burden he resumed his seat grumbling
at the interruption.

But the sight to note was the change that had suddenly
taken place in the comportment of the young people ; instead
of the stiffness and reserve they had before maintained, there
u r as now r a geniality, a warmth and friendliness, in their manner
which would have fallen like a ray of summer sunshine on the
heart of the old man had he not, unfortunately, been too well
aware of the cause. On taking leave, each couple was eager to
secure his company for the next day ; and, indeed, both pressed
him so urgently, time after time, that he ended by promising to
divide the remainder of his days equally betw een them ; the
young people entertaining no doubt but that a man who had
ready cash enough at command to be able to lend so large a
sum must hold countless stores hoarded up.

At length, however, Connaxa fell seriously ill. His children
surrounded his bed ; never was a sick man more tenderly
nursed, each vieing with the other to show’ the excess of his
and her zeal. He gave them delicately to understand that the
ono who paid him most attention would prove to be the most
liberally provided for ; and, on the decided aggravation of the
symptoms, they begged him to declare his last wishes and
make a codicil. He replied that that had already been done,
and requested them to bring out of his room his strong box
with three locks : the weight was enormous, and the expectant
heirs felt convinced that their inheritance would shortly be
doubled.

Connaxa requested them to send for the Prior of the Jacobins
of Antwerp ; and, appointing him his testamentary executor,
he handed him one of the keys of the box and to each of the
sons-in-law one of the remaining two, desiring that it might not
be opened until forty days after his obsequies. Then, address¬
ing hi•) sons-in-law, hr said—“ My children, I desire, for the
salvation of my soul, to do some good works before my death ;
I therefore beg yon to pay immediately 10 U livres to each of
the churches in Antwerp, and 201) livres to the Church of the
Jacobins, w here I wish to be buried. You will take care that
my funeral is conducted honourably, and with due regard to
our position and mine; I assure you you w ifi lose nothing
y it."

The sons-in-law* promised that all should be doue according
to his desire, and proceeded forthwith to pay the legacies to the
churches ; then, melting into tears, they begged the dying
man’s blessing. Connaxa granted it W’illingly, and not long
after, died, his children supplying the most splendid funeral
ceremonial.

It is needless to say with what impatience the heirs aw aited
the expiration of the forty days, in order to proceed to the
examination of the strong box. At length the expected hour
arrives ; the Prior of the Jacobins is summoned, and appears
w ith his key and his witnesses. The three keys are solemnly
thrust into the three locks, and are simultaneously turned ;
the lid is raised ; but w hat is their suqmsc and disappointment
to see a mass of old iron, bits of lead, and Hints! In the midst
of these lies conspicuous a clumsy cudgel, and round it is rolled

The fame of this incident, so humiliating to the disappointed
heirs, soon spread round and about the old city of Antwerp,
aud thence to the adjacent provinces, and there w f as not a city
in the Netherlands that did not applaud the ingenious device
by which the fond and trustful father had repaired the mischief
of liis iacautious generosity in despoiling himself, like a second
Lear, in favour of his avaricious, ungrateful, and unnatural
children.

THE MARRIAGE AT ST. PETERSBURG.

The marriage of his Royal Highness Prince Allred Ernest
Albert, Duke of Edinburgh, second sou of her Majesty Queen
Victoria, to her Imperial Highness the Princess and Grand
Duchess Marie Alexandrovna, only daughter of his Imperial
Majesty Alexander XL, Emperor of Russia, took place, in the
Winter Palace at St. Petersburg, on Friday, the 23rd ult., a
day which is reckoned the 11th by the Russian Calendar. VV e
now present, from the sketches made there by our special
Artist, Mr. Proctor, some Illustrations of the august and happy
nuptials, to which are added those of particular scenes at .'st.
Petersburg and elsewhere associated with the occasion.

The religious service-of the wedding was performed, first,
according to the ritual of the Greek Church, m the Imperial
Chapel of the Winter Palace ; and then, immediately after¬
wards in the Alexander Hall of that palace, by the \ cry Lev.
Dr. Stanley, Dean of Westminster, according to the forms of
the English Church. . , ,

The different classes of persons who were privileged to
witness the ceremony met about noon in the several state
apartments of the Winter Palace. Menibers of the Conned of the
Empire and foreign Ambassadors, with the ladies who accom¬
panied them, met in the Alexander Hall ; the Emperor’s Aides-
tie-Oamp and other military or naval officers of distinction met
in the Nicholas Hall ; a select company of Russian merchants
and foreigners met in the Marshals’ Hall. In the Concert Hall
were the Court ladies, the wives of senators and other Russian
nobles. They assembled, at a quarter to one, in the Salle des
Armoiries. Here were several hundred ladies and gentlemen,
the former in rich robes of every gorgeous. colour, with
diamond-studded coifs and lace veils, the latter in a variety of
splendid uniforms, with the badges of many orders. The
ladies were raugetX standing on one side of the long and rather
narrow hall or gallery ; the gentlemen stood along the other
side. An avenue was so formed, through which the procession
of the Imperial family, with their princely visitors, conducted the
bride and bridegroom to the chapel. A detachment of Lancers
was stationed as a guard of honour in the middle of the gallery.

The procession was ushered in by the founders of the Im¬
perial Court, the Masters of the Ceremonies, the Chamberlains
and marshals, walking two and two, with their ensigns of office.
Their Majesties the Emperor Alexander II. and the Czarina,
or Empress, were attended by the Minister of the Imperial
Household, the Major-General of the Suite, and two Aides-de-
Camp. Then came each married couple walking together, the
Czarevitch and Czarevna, the Prince and Princess of Wales,
and the Imperial Crown Prince and Princess of Germany and
Prussia, followed by the Crown Prince of Denmark. The bride
and bridegroom were the next pair in the procession. Prince
Arthur ami the Duke of Haxe-Cobur"-Gotha came after them,
followed by the Russian Grand Dukes Vladimir, Alexis,
Sergius, and Paul, younger sons of the Emperor ; the Grand
Duke Constantine, his Majesty’s brother, with his wife and
four sous ; the Grand Duke Nicholas, the Grand Duke and
Duchess of Mecklenburg, the Princes Romanoffskj, the Dakes
of Leuchtenberg, Princess Marie of Baden, Prince Peter of
Oldenburg and his family, and Prince Alexander of Hesse. A
train of Court ladies aiid other persons of rank closed the
procession.

The Czar wore the dark green uniform of a Russian
General, with white shoulder knots. He carried a plumed
helmet in his hand. The Empress wore a gold-embroidered
train trimmed with ermine, and with two broad rows of gems
on her breast; on her head was the crown, with a tiara of dia¬
monds, and a long veil. The bride, Grand Duchess Marie,
wore a silver embroidered dress, on which were roses and
floura-do lya; she had a purple vvivet wan lie trimmed with
ermine ; her train, very long and heavy, was home by four
chamberlains and an equerry. The bridegroom, the Duke ol
Edinburgh, wore his uniform as a Captain in the British Navy.
The Crown Prince of Germany wore a dark blue uniform. The
Crown Princess of Germany had a green velvet train. The
Prince of Wales wore a British military officer’s scarlet
uniform, with white satin shoul U r-knots. The Princess of
Wales wore a pearl-coloured satin dre* 8 . with a train of
crimson and gold ; she had a diamond tiara, a collar of
brilliants, and a pearl necklace. Her sister, the Czarevna
(Princess Dagmar of Denmark), wore a gold and white robe,
with a train of deep-blue velvet, a diamond tiara, and a collar
of brilliants. The Russian Grand Duchesses were all splendidly
attired. The Duke of Saxe-Coburg hail a white Russian uniform.
Some of the Grand Dukes were little children, wearing uni¬
forms, helmets, and liigh boots, with a manly and soldierly air.

At the door of the Imperial chapel the Czar and Czarina,
and the Princes and Princesses, were received by the Motro-
ixditan Archbishop and the Holy Synod, with other clergy,
bearing the cross and holy water. They were conducted, to the
altar. The arrangement of a Russian church should here be
remembered. Its interior comprises, first, the porch ; secondly,
a large open space, corresponding to the nave of a Protestant
or a Catholic cathedral, which in the Russian is called the
rapeza ; thirdly, the entrance to the church proper (the singers
usually stand on each side of the altar); and, lastly, the
officiating priest, at certain parts of the service, stands upon a
kind of platform, which is very low, and which is designated
the ambon. One of the most important portions of the build¬
ing is the ikonostas, the term applied to the screen which
separates the altar from the church. Upon this screen the holy-
pictures are hung, and it is the mofct sacred part of tho chnreh.
Some of tho canons prohibit women from ever going beyond It,
and it is most lavishly adorned. The ikonostas rears itself up
in bold relief ; close to the rails of the sanctuary is a handsome
pulpit, with a fringed circular canopy. Above it are golden
cherubim, wreathed iu at the apex by a dazzling “glory.” At
the back of the canopy is a pictorial representation of a sacred
subject; two cherubs forming the brackets and a framework of
drapery hedging in the picture. This pulpit, which in form is a
sexagon, has panels in unison with the prevailing Btylc of orna
inent, which is gold and whito. An angel with outstretched
arms forma the bracket supporting the pulpit, which is not
usually seen in Russian churches. The ikonostas is a mass of
gold, upon which are medallions with paintings inserted. The
pillars supporting the roof are of red granite; the lloor is a
scries of wooden mlays, similar to the flooring throughout the
palace ; and the sanctuary window’s are curtained with red silk.

Upon the altar table were placed the cross, the Gospels, in
a massive gold frame, the pyx or box for the sacramental bread,
and a picture of the Virgin and Child framed in gold. A flood
of light was shod upon all by a great number of wax tapers in
the candelabra The fonr chief priests— viz., tho Metropolitan
Archbishops of fet. Petersburg and Kiev ; Monsignor BajanoR.
Confessor of the Emperor and Empress, and Monsignor
Macarius, Bishop of Vilna—stood at the analogion or lectern.
They wore gold vestments, and Monsignor Bajanotf wore a
scarlet collar, with other decorations. The Czar took his place*
at the right-hand side of the altar. The bride and bridegroom
were placed immediately before the priests at the lectern;
Prince Arthur and the Grand Dukes Vladimir, Alexis, and
Sergius stood behind them as groomsmen. Next to the Czar
and Empress were the Crown Princess of Germany and the

Princess of Wales ; the Czarevna, with her little son, Grand Duke

NicS six years old; the Grand Duchess Constantine, the
Czarevitch, ami a Grand Duchess. On the opposite eidewere
the gentlemen, the Crown Prince of Germany, the Prince of
Wales, Prince Gortschakoff, the Duke of Saxe-Coburjf, the
Crown Prince of Denmark, and the Grand Dukes of Russia.

The order of the Greek marriage service waa as foUowa
After the liturgy had been said, first making the of the

cross on the head of the bride and bridegroom three times the
priest handed each of them a lighted taper, having previously re¬
peated that act of devotion on the forehead of both with one
end of the taper. Being conducted into the church proper
or, as wc should say, into the nave—the priest incensed them,
and then the deacon exclaimed, “Give the benediction, bir,
which the priest proceeded to do in the following words :

“ Blessed be our God always, now and for ever, even unto ages
of ages,” to which the choir responded “Amen.' \\ hen the
deacon had bidden the congregation to pray, ho besought God
to grant them heavenly peace and salvation to their souls. He
also prayed “ for the peace of the whole world ; for the welfare
of tho Holy Church of God, for the Holy Legislative Synod,
for the clergy and tlie people, for the Emperor (by name), for
the servant of God (the bridegroom), and the handmaiden of
God (the bride) about to be espoused, and for their salva¬
tion.” One clause in the prayer was an expression of the
devout hope that tho bride and bridegroom might obtain
all their desires tending to their salvation ; another
that they might be granted perfect love, peace, and
mutual help—that they might be “preserved in concord and
steadfast vitality to each other, and blessed iu innocency of
love, and delivered from all affliction, strife, and necessity.”
To this pious aspiration the choir responded, “Lord have
mercy upon us.” Then followed this brief prayer by the
deacon, “In remembrance of our most holy, most pious, most
blessed, and glorious Lady, the mother of God, and ever Virgin
Mary, with all saints, we commend ourselves and each other
and our whole life to Christ our God.” Again came the vocal
response, “To Thee, O Lord,” succeeded by a fervent aspira¬
tion from the priest, in which he prayed to the Almighty,
“who blessed Isaac and Abraham, and made them heirs oF His
promise,” to bless the Duke and the Grand Duchess Marie, and
to guide them in every good work.

These prayers were followed by an act to which general
attention was drawn. The wedding-rings had been previously
brought forward upon golden salvers, and placed upon the
altar by one of the masters of the ceremonies ; and now they
were taken from the holy table by the principal priests and
given to the confessor of the Emperor and Empress. That
priest, according to custom, placed them on the angers of tho
Grand Duchess Marie and the Duke of Edinburgh, and then
ensued the following: — “The servant of God” (naming the
Duke) 1 * is betrothed to the handmaid of God” (naming the
bride), in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the
Holy Ghost, now and for ever, even unto ages of ag*s. Amen.”
Addressing Himself to the Grand Duchess, the priest said,
“The handmaid of God is betrothed to the servant of God,”
adding the inscription. This form was repeated three times,
after which the priest made the sign of the cross on the fore¬
head of the Duke aud the Grand Duchess with the rings, and
then put them on the forefinger of the right hand of each.
When tho rings had been thus placed upon the lingers of the
bride and bridegroom, tho Paranymphus, or, as He is called in
Slavonic, tHe Vospriemnek, exchanged the rings of the
espoused pair, and then the priest said a long prayer, beseech¬
ing God, “ who conducted the servant of Abraham when lie
was sent into Mesopotamia to take a wife for his master Isaac,
and &t-4jic well of water moved him to betroth Rebecca,” to
“ bless the espousals of these Thy servants, and confirm them
in his holy union.” In the prayer occur these sentences: —
“ Thou, 0 Lord, has sHowti us that such pledges should be
given and confirmed. By a ring powder was given unto Joseph
in Eg 3 *pt; by a ring Daniel was honoured in Babylon; the
truth was discovered with respect to Tamar by a ring ; and
by a ring our heavenly Father showed his kindness to his
returning Son.” Tliis prayer closed with the ascription, and
was followed by what is called the triple eetinia, or Litany,
and “ dismission,” the latter being a hymn which is constantly
repeated in the Russian Church service.

With the “dismission” terminated “the espousals,” and
then followed the office of the Matrimonial Coronation, which
is prefaced by a striking scene. Giving the bride and bride¬
groom lighted tapers to hold, tlie priest placed himself in front
of them, and, censer in hand, sang the 128th Psalm, beginning
“ Blessed are all they that fear the Lord and walk in His w’ays,”
the choir responding at the end of each of the seven verses,
“ Glory be to Thee, our God — glory be to Thee.” What occurred
next was watched with unabated interest. This part -of the
office might well be called “The Interrogations,” for the priest
says to the bridegroom, “Hast thou a good and unrestrained
will and firm intention to take unto thee to wife this woman
(mentioning the Grand Duchess by name) w T hom thou seest here
before thee?” To this question the Duke of Edinburgh
answered, “ 1 have, Reverend Sir.” The Priest: “Hast thou
not promised any other woman V” The Bridegroom : “ I have
not promised another, Reverend Sir.” To the Grand Duchess
Mane a similar question was put, aud her Imperial Highness
returned the same answer. “ Give the benediction, Sir,” then
said the deacon to the priest, who asked the Divine blessing,
after which the deacon said the eetinia. In this the deacon
prayed for peace for the whole world, especially for *' tlie
■lervanta of God now joined together in holy wedlock,” beseech¬
ing that the ^ might Ixi blessed “like that of Cana of
Galilee. The commendation of all to tho Virgin followed.
L’hen the priest recited another long prayer, asking God to give
tlie young couple “a peaceful life, length of days, sobriety,
mutual love, joy in their children, and the never-fading crown
of glory.” b

One of the most important features of the service was then
witnessed. This was the “crowning” of tlie bride and bride¬
groom, Talung in his hands the crowns, which play a conspi¬
cuous part in every Russian marriage, the priest first crowned
the Duke of Edinburgh, mentioning his Royal Highness’s
name, and saying “ The servant of God is crowned for the
handmaid of God (naming the Grand Duchess Marie), in the
name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.”

I he ii he put the crown on the bride’s head, saying that she,
the handmaid of God, was crowned for the son ant of God (her
husband) in the name, &c. After this interesting ceremony
the benediction was given, the priest saying three times. “O

infl! °of n° d ’ - CrOW ? them Wlfc h glory aud honour,” and making
m the air the sign of the cross. From this time until the end
<>I the service the crowns were held over the heads of the bride
ami bridegroom by the four groomsmen alternately. Next
4 f pokejmenon of the Apostle, consisting of verses out
-f fho I Mims, tho choir chnnting tlie verses after each hail been
r i, Th ° p f<Jeimcnon was sung to tlie eighth tone, ami was
j-s follows : ‘Thou host put crowns of precious stones upon
their heads ; they asked life of Thee and Thou gavest them ”
Phe reader next stated tho Lesson, which is always the same
at itusmaii marnage ceremonies, and which is taken from the
Lpistle of St. Paul to the Ephesians, chap, v., verses 20 to 23.

Tlie deacon having directed the notice of the congregation to
ihlt was about to follow by exclaiming, attend !" t h,
reader proceeded to rea l the Epistle, bidding the wife to
herself to her husband and the husband to love the wife, M

Christ loved the Church.” The few words which succeeded,

and which it is unnecessary to repeat, were chanted to the fifth
tone In a very impressive manner the deacon exclai^

priest “declared ” as being from-bt. John, ihen came the
tuneful voices of the choristers in tho (.Iona, and the
inr, Iw the I.riest o' the Gospel, beginning. V At that tunc Ui„ t

Ililee, and the mother of

was a marriage in Cana
was there.” Another “Gloria” followed the reading of ^
Holy Gospel, and preceded a prayer for the Emperor by
for the Synod and Bishop, and brethren m Glimt; and
recited the priest, “ we pray for life, health, and salvatiou, uni
remission of sins to the servants of God —namely, the Iloyal
bride and bridegroom, whose preservation from all ill wasag^
besought.

Another striking feature of the service was now imminent.
When the deacon had given tlie coinmendatiou, what is called
in the Russian liturgy “tlie common cup,” containing the con-
sccrated wine, was brought, and blessed by the confessor, who
then asked God’s blessing upon it, aud who further besought
the Almighty to. impart His spiritual benediction unto the bride
and bridegroom. Thrice the communion cup was presented
to both the Duke and the Grand Duchess, who received the
sacramental wine ; and then, holding a lighted taper in their left
hand, they were thrice led ronnd the analogion, a kind oi
lectern or desk, or portable table, upon which are plaoed the
holy hooks when the priest or deacon reads any part of the
service. As their Royal Highnesses were conducted round the
analogion from right to left they were accompanied by tho beet
men, Prince Arthur and the Grand Duke Y ladimir or Alexis,
who held the crowns over tho heads of the newly-married pair.

Our Illustration, in tlie large Engraving which forms the
Extra Supplement, represents the chief officiating priest,
Monaiguor Bajauoff holding the Duke of Edinburgh and tin*
Grand Duchess by their joined hands, and so leading them
round. The Emperor and Empress are standing in tho back¬
ground. Tho Pnuce of Wales is to the right hand, under tlie
pulpit.

After this ceremony , a troparion was sung to the fifth tone —
“ Exult, 0 Isaiah, for the Virgin has conceived and brought
forth a son, Emmanuel—God and man. The East is His name.
Him do we magnify and call the Virgin blessed.” Wheutwoother
versicles had been said, the priest, taking off* the bridegroom’s
crown, said :—“Be thou magnified, 0 bridegroom, as Abraham;
be thou blessed as Isaac ; aud multiplied a 3 Jacob, walking in
peace and performing tbo commandments of God in righteous¬
ness.” Taking off the bride’s crown, he said to the Grand
Duchess :—“And be thou magnified like Sarah ; be tbou joyful
as Rebecca ; and increase aud multiply as Rachael, delighting
in thine own husband, and observing the bounds of tho law
according to the great pleasure of God.” One or two short
prayers having been said and responded to, the priest delivered
the following concluding prayer :—“The Father, the Son, and
the Holy Ghost, the Most Holy and consubstautial Trin ty, the
Fountain of Life, whose Godhead is one, and whose kingdonl
is one, bless you and give unto you length of days, fruitfulness,
increase of life and faith ! May He fill you with all good
things upon earth and vouchsafe unto you the goodness Ho has
promised through the prayers of tho Holy Mother of God and of
all Saints ! Amen.” The bride aud bridegroom, having kissed
the holy cross, were embraced first by the Emperor and then
by tho Empress, whose greeting of her Royal son-ih-faw waa
profoundly touching. After the congratulations of the other
members of the two Imperial and Royal families, the bridal
procession left the church, the conclusion of the Russian rite
being marked by the discharge of 101 cannon from the ramparts
of tho fortress of »St.Petersburg.

The procession moved on through the palace to the Alexander
Hall, which is not very large, but of beautiful design and
sculptural adornment, with pillars of white marble, thuir
capitals surmounted by white marble eagles. Two conspicuous
trophies give additional beauty to the appearance of the liall.
They are of white marble, corresponding with the ceiling, and
consist of shields, the largest ol which have a double cade
springing out of them, while another eagle is formed by smaller
silicic 8 on each side. Above is a suit of Grecian armour with
Greek shields. Frescoed medallions in relief run all round the
room, giving it a light aud graceful appearauce ; the subjects
being varied by the introduction of classical figures at interval*.
On the walls are five large pictures—one, by fcne English artist;
George Dawe, being a fine portrait of the Emperor Alexauder I.;
the others, by Sauerwaid, representing the battles of Kulm,
Loipaic, &c., and the taking of Paris in 1814.

In tliis room an altar had been erected. It was exceedingly
plain, about 3$ ft. in height, and covered with a deep, rich
crimson velvet altar-cloth. The altar-rails were of bras*, sup¬
ported on brass pedestals; three steps led to the holy table,
and in the centre of the steps were placed two cushion* of the
same deep crimson velvet as the frontal, aud a curtain of
similar texture, hung in brass rings, draped the back of the altar-

Shortly before half-past two o’clock the procession entered
the Alexander Hall, the Emperor leading the Duke of Edin-
burgh and the Grand Duchess Marie to the altar, where stood
the three English clergymen.

The Emperor and Empress stood on the right-hand side
the altar, her Imperial Majesty only occasionally using the
chair which was placed for her. Close by w ere the Princess
of Wales, the Czarevna, the G rand Duchess Constantine, the
Graud Duchess Nicholaia, and the other members of tho
Imperial family. In the rear of their Majesties stood tho
Ambassadors Plenipotentiary :—Lord Augustus Loftus (Great
Britain), General LetiO (Franco), and Prince Reuss (Germiuiy)i
the Austrian, Italian, Danish, and American Ministers, with
their secretaries and attaches, amongst whom were the follow¬
ing . gentlemen attached to the British Embassy :—Mr. M ■
Doria (secretary of Embassy), Mr. Hencage, Mr. Seymour, mid 1
Mr. H. Loftus. Conspicuous amongst this group of diplomats
was tlie special Envoy sent by tho Republic of Montenegro;
three representatives of Bokhara, who only arrived on the pre-
vious day% were present; also the members of the suites of the
1 rince of \Yales, the Duke of Edinburgh, and Prince Arthur,
with a great many English visitors, amongst whom wore Lord
and Lady Aylesford.

When all had taken their places the English form
solemnisation of marriage was begun. Just as at Royal mar¬
riages in England the Archbishop of Canterbury reads the whole
oftiio service, so cm this day tho Very Rev. the Dean of West¬
minster took the whole of tlie duty upon himself, although there
were also present in their clerical capacity the Rev. Arthur $•
Ihornpson. B.A. (Oxon), Chaplain to her Britannic Majesty's
Jtmbassy, the Russian Company, and the British Factory;
the Rev. S. Kingsford, M A. (Cantab). The Anglican service
began by the Russian choir (wdio numbered forty men and
hoys) chanting, in their own tongue, the first verse of the 21 at
rsaim—“ The King shall rejoice in Thy strength; 0 Lord; and
n i liy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice.” This the St.

1 etersburg choir gave as well as they had performed then

arduous part in the large church, and when they had concluded
the Dean of Westminster began the service. The Beati omnes
(Psalm 128) was chanted.

After the praytr beginning *‘ Almighty God, who at the
beginning did. create our first parents, Adam and Eve, and did
sanctify and join them together in marriage,” the Rubric
says—“ If there he no sermon declaring the duties of man and
wife the minister shall read aa followeth ' (he., the Exhorta¬
tion), “All ye that arc married.” Inasmuch, however, as
Dean Stanley had preached upon the subject of the Royal
marriage on the previous Sunday at the English church, he did
not deliver an address now, neither did he read the Exhorta¬
tion, hut in place of both he said the prayer specially written
by him for this occasion. It concluded with the following sup¬
plication :—“ Grant that the union in deeds of war which this
hail celebrates may be exchanged for the more blessed union of
brotherly kindness and perseverance in well-doing ; that peace
and happiness, truth and justice, faith and charity, may be
established among us for all generation*, and that by divers
gifts from north and south, from east and west, Thy kingdom
may be built up and enlarged even more and more in the unity
of the Spirit and in the bond of peace, through Jesus OhriBt our
Redeemer. Amen.”

The choir then chanted in Russian the following final
anthem, taken from the first three verses of the 112th Psalm : -
“Blessed is the man that fearuth the Lord : he hath great
delight in his commandments. His seed shall be mighty upon
earth : the generation of the faithful shall be blessed. Riches
and pienteousnega shall be in his house : and his righteousness
endureth for ever.” , _ .

The services of both the Russian and the English Churches
were now concluded. The proces sion went ou to the Malachite
Hall, where the last important formality of signing the register
was gone through, the only persons present besides the above
distinguished persouages and discount Sydney, Lady Augusta
Stanley, and the three English clergymen, being the chamber¬
lains and the pages who held the trains. Prince Gortschakoff
and Count SchouvalofT were present. The bride and bride¬
groom signed first, then the Euperor, the Empress, the Russian
suui F.ntfl iah Ttriooca amt Pnucesses sign/ng next, Vwen ant
.Sydney affixing liis signature last but one, mid the Rev. Mr.
Thompson signing last. During this interesting ceremony the
Grand Duchess Marie sat on one side of the table and the
Empress on the other. The register of the Chapel Royal, St.
James’s, being justly regarded as too valuable a volume to be
removed, a leaf was taken to St. Petersburg in order that,
after their Royal Highnesses lmd signed it, the page might be
be subsequently inserted in the book.

It is observed with interest that the prayer-book from
which the Dean of Westminster read the first part of the ser¬
vice was the same volume which was used at the coronation of
, William TV., and that in the after-part of the office Dean
Stanley read from the prayer-book which was used at the
marriages of George III., Princess Charlotte, the Duke of
Gloucester, the Princess of Hes3e, the Duke of Cambridge,
William IV., the Duke of Kent, and the Prince of Wales.
This historic volume is the property of Lady Mary Hamilton.

The Emperor and Empress gave a grand banquet to 800
wedding guests, in the Nicholas flail, at five o’clock. It was
a brilliant scene ; the great hall is white, ami was lighted up
by thousands of wax lights in the numerous chandeliers. At
the four tablets eat a eplotulully-tl raised company . The newly -
married Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh were placed aide by
side. On her left sat her father the Czar, and next him. were
+.Vw» Princess of Wales, the Prince Imperial of Germany, and
the Czarevna on mao alilo of On the Duke of

Edinburgh’s right sat the Empress, iu close conversation all
through the banquet with her new sun, who, in speaking to her
Majesty, bent towards her with an air of courtesy and deference.
Next to the Czarina sat the Prince of Wales. Next to the Prince
sat the Princess Imperial of Prussia, and then tho Ozarewitch.
Music was performed during the feast, Patti and Albani sing¬
ing their best. The health of tlio bride and bridegroom M as
drunk, all standing up and touching glasses with each other.
At half-past eight in the evening the company reassembled in
St. George’s Hall for the graceful dance, or rather promenade
to music, which is called the polonaise. It went gaily round
the ball-room, with frequent changing of partners, till nearly
ten o'clock. Then came the quiet departure of the newly
married couple to the palace of Tsarskoe-Selo, a few miles from
St. Ft tershurg. They u*ere attended by five persons, including
Lady Emma Osborne and Lieutenant Haig. Some public
buildings of St. Petersburg u*ere illuminated that night, Messrs.
Defries, of London, being employed for this work. The illu¬
minations of the British Einbissy are the subject of one of our
Illustrations. They were provided by Messrs. Defries, whose
patent crystal apparatus, with various emblematic devices,
produced a brilliant and beautiful effect.

The funeral of Count Berg, Lieutenant-Governor of Poland,
which took place at St. Petersburg, a few days before the Royal
wedding, presented an imposing spectacle in the streets of the
Russian capital, as the procession conducting the hearse moved
from the Lutheran church, in the Nevski Prospect, after the
religious ceremony. The Emperor of Russia and the Prince of
Wales attended the funeral procession, both on horseback.
Our Artists sketch represent* his Majesty and the Prince
awaiting the departure of the hearse from the chajicl door.
His Royal Highness wore his military overcoat and the busby
cap of the Riile Brigade.

An incident of ordinary experience in winter at St. Peters¬
burg is the subject of our Artists remaining sketch, the opera¬
tion of taking water iu casks out of a hole broken in the icc of
the Neva, for the supply of householders in the city.

excavated and laid out as a public park ami recreation-ground
for the inhabitants of Tooting ami Sfcreathaui. The work is
undertaken by the Board of Works, who have purchased the
manorial rights ami arranged w fch the commoners having pasture
rights and other privileges. The ostler portion of the common,
about which there lias been expensive litigation between the

is lieautifully timbered, and possesses a park-like aspect, aud is
to be preserved in its present state.

A correspondent of the Garden quotes a letter from Mr.
Bright in reference to the more efficient utilisation of Indian
corn h» an article of food, in this country Mr. Bright is of
opinion that the mate impediment to its in nr- gener.d use is

MATCH AT CHESS BETWEEN THE CALCUTTA AND BOMBAY
CHESS CLUBS.

It will interest many of our readers to learn that Chess is not neglected
in the country of its birth. The two following games luive lately been
nlaved hv telegraph between, the Calcutta and Bombay Chess (.lulls—that
is. by three champions .selected by each club. The players for Calcutta
were Messrs. II. *teel, R. M. Ross, and C. H. Ogbourne; for Bombay,
Messrs. W. B. Yellows, A. O. Mullins, and J. Westlake.

CHE£S P BOBLEMS. •

The collection of Chess Proldems just issued by Messrs. Pierce is a wel¬
come addition to Mie too few books upon tin* subject wlifcli we possess.
Witlmnt pietension to the highest' faculties in the ^Qropo.Nition of these
ingenious subtleties, the ant hoi's of the volume before us, by fertility of
invention, and occasionally by originality and beauty «>( idea, have entitled
themselves to a conspicuous place among those who have devoted them-
selves to this branch of chess. The collection comprises not less than 3(H)
positions, of which each brother contributes nearly half; the few remain¬
ing being joint rompositious with Mr. Meyer and Air. Vbfcor Gorgias.
Nearly tlio whole of these problems have been printed before, in the
varioiis chess organs in this country and abroad, a fact which, if it detract
from fchoir novelty, is a good guftruiitqe f- r Mieir correctness. The follow-
ing(No. 2 s) is a pleasing and wrB- constructed pojdtioir:-^-

SCIENTIFIC RESULTS OF THE MONTH.

On Jan ^0 a paper on “The Mechanical Production of Cold”
-was read*before the Institution of Civil Engineers by Mr. A. C.
Kirk. The discusssion which followed was continued through¬
out the evening and also throughout the whole of the meeting
during the following week—the subject being one of comparative
novelty and of much importance. The science of thermo¬
dynamics teaches that in every case in which power is generated
by heat there must be a high and a low temperature, and teaches
also that in the conversion of heat into power a certain expendi¬
ture of heat will in a perfect engine, generate a determinate
amount of power, which is consequently termed the mechanical
equivalent of the heat. The converse proposition is also true,
that a certain expenditure of power will generate a com,spend¬
ing difference of temperature at the points of reception and
rejection; and this is what is done in all the freezing machines
in which cold is produced by the expenditure of mechanical
power. In some of the freezing machines a volatile liquid, such
as ether or liquid ammonia, is made to boil by placing it in a
vacuum, which is mechanically maintained, the vapour being
constantly removed by a pump or otherwise into a vessel having
a high internal pressure, where it is again liquefied, and cold
is produced by the rapid vaporisation. In Iwk’s machine the
fluid used is air. The air is compressed mechanically by a steam-
engine, by which operation its temperature is increased. While
in the compressed state it is cooled by water, and, being then
suffered to expand, it seeks to recover from surrounding objects
the heat it had lost, and thus produces cold. Thu proldern of
economical cooling is of much nterest on account of its bear¬
ing upon many processes iu the arts, such as the solidifi¬
cation of paraffine and carbolic acid, the cooling of
brewers’ worts, and the preservation of meat in a frozen state
during its conveyance from foreign countries in steam-vessels
specially fitted for that particular function. The speakers
during tho two evenings the discussion lasted were Messrs,
Siemens, West, Iteece, Lidduley, Thomson, and Bourn 3 .

The Prussian Government has given a great impulse to
salmon-culture in Silesia by distributing fecundated ova among
the leading pisciculturists of Silesia and Brandenburg, and the
number of young fish iu tho Oder lias thus been much increased.
In 1871 the number of young fish raised and put into the Oder
was 55,000, in 1872 it was 32U.OOO, and in 1873 it was 144,274.

A paper by Professor Reynolds lias been read before tho
Literary and Philosophical Society of Manchester “Onthu
Destruction of Sound by Fog and the Inertness of a Heteroge¬
neous Fluid.” On this subject the author of the paper dissents
from the conclusions arrived at by Professor Tyndall.

A correspondent of the Field gives an account of a gigantic
species of cuttle-fish lately found entaugled in the nets ot some
fishermen, near St. John s, Newfoundland. The body, it is
stated, was 8 ft. in length and had ten arms, the longest of
which arc 24 ft. long, radiated from tho top of the brad. The
mouth, which was about the centre of the head, was armed with
a horny beak, like that of a parrot. When killed by the fisher¬
men it ejected a large quantity of inky lluid. The animal
appears to have been a calamary, amt is a different animal irom
the octopus. It is stated that a cuttle-fish was some time since
thrown ashore which was 80 ft. in length. The fishermen who
encountered a cuttle-fish some time since in Conception Bay-
state that it was three times the length of their boat, which
was 20 ft. long. It threw one of i fcs tentacles over the !>oat, and
this tentacle, which was -✓. ered by an axe, and is now iu the
local museum, is 35 ft. long.

The International Exhibition for 1S74 will consist of three
divisions, of which the first will bo devoted to the fine art3 : the
second to manufactures, raw materials, machinery, aud pro¬
cesses ; and the third to new inventions and discoveries.
Among tho machines will be lace-iuaking machines, stone-
dressiug machines, brick-making machines, and wood-working
machines. New stoves will form a prominent feature. Messrs.
Chance and Co. will exhibit the revolving-light apparatus con¬
structed for the South >tack lighthouse, near Holyhead ; and
Gramme's electro-magnetic light will also be shown.

The iron-mines of Elba have long been known to furnish
some of the best iron ore in tho world, and the supplies arc
inexhaustible; but their beneficial development has been pre¬
vented by Governmental restrictions. A company of Italian
capitalists has now been formed to lease the mines for thirty
years, and they will erect ironworks.

The system of casting metals under pressure, inaugurated by
Sir Joseph Whitworth for the production of sound castings in
wrought iron and steel, has been extended by Colonel Lav roll',
a French officer, to bronze with advantageous results. The
Whitworth system is now being applied to the production of
heavy guns and of shafts for screw-propellers, which are cast
hollow, and which, with about half the weight, are stronger
than the screw-shafts usually employed. The soundness of the
main shaft in screw-vessels is still more important than it is in
X>addle-vesselB, as, even if one paddle-shaft breaks, the vessel
may be able to complete her voyage with the other ; whereas,
if the scrcw-shaft breaks, the vessel is left without resource
except the sails, which are often useless iu such a case.

Mr. Griffiths, the inventor of one of the best forms of screw-
propeller now in use, has lately proposed to employ two screws,
one at tho bow and the other at the stern ; or he uses Oine screw
working in a short tube which opens downward at the fore eud,
so as to take in water from below the keel and deliver it at the
stern. Mr. Griffiths says :■—“A screw-propeller working in open
water in the ordinary maimer draws a great portion of its
supply of water from all around its periphery, and the power
which is Consumed in drawing it is wasted, ‘i his is nob the
case with my system, when the power is divided bet weeffi the
bow and stem screws, or with the enlarged tunnel-mouth for a
single screw ; for the extra quantity of water required by tho
screw is thus supplied without any less of power. .Screws must
be supplied with 40 or 50 pt r cent more water to give the hot
effect in propelling the ship.”

last mouth wo recapitulated some cases in which heat
counteracts the effect of gravity, as when liquids assume tlio
spheroidal state and roll over a hot plate without touching it.
Mr. < ’mokes has quite recently described to the Royal .Society
several forms of apparatus which enabled him to render semible
*n notion exerted by beat on gravitating bodies. Duo of the
experiments was made with a balance formed of a straw beam.
With pith-ball masses at the eud, llie w hole inclosed in a glass
thbe and connected with a Sprengil air-pump, it was found
that the application of heat beneath one of the pith balls in the
rartfied tube caused it to rise, whereas the application of a
piece of ice caused it to fall. The motion could not \>e due to
air currents, as there was no air present.

A substitution of albumen for gelatine in the bichromate
process of photo lithography has been successfully jmade. The
paper is covered with a thm coating of albumen, upon which a
concentrated solution of the bichromate is poured. After
exposure under the negative, the sheet is covered with litho¬
graphic ink, and is then immersed in cold water to dissolve the
unaltered albumen, which is removed by a soft sponge. A very
dear image is thus obtained, which may be transferred to the
stone and printed from in the usual manner of lithographv,

TEE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS,

LONDON , SATURDAY, FEBRUARY V h XS74.

The issue of tlie general election now fast drawing to a
close, important as it is from whatever point of view it
may be looked at, sinks into comparative insignificance
beside the news transmitted to us from time to time
from India news, we regret to say, deepening in gloom
and becoming more portentous in regard to the future in
every successive message which reaches us. Electoral
victories and defeats, the reversal of the relative position
of political parties, the disappointment or the. realisation
of cherished hopes in regard to the domestic policy of
the country, possibly in some cases the temporary frustra¬
tion of plans of action already matured, fadrng visions
of material benefits ■which had seemed to be within
grasp, all these and kindred matters assume a some¬
what trifling and colourless aspect in the presence
of that grim and gigantic calamity which is steadily
stealing towards ns, and the first touch of whose
fatal hand has already thrilled our hearts. There
is no use ni—there is scarcely even a possibility of—
disguising the fact that famine has overtaken the pojm-

death from Ovation has nude
itself but too familiar in some of the least accessible of
its localities; that its ravages threaten a densely-popu¬
lated area, equal in the number of its inhabitants to that
of Great Britain ; that within a few weeks millions of
men women and children will have to be supplied with

o°rivS°i n Rfir a b0U n y ° r dlC; and that 187 t bid ^ fair
to nval 1666 possibly to surpass it—in those annals of

horror and of death which have but toi fre^ue Ut i
repeated themselves in Indian history. Such U tli :
vision immediately before us. To a large extent, it L s t.
present a vision only. But what is a matter of expect |
tion to-day mat to-morrow become a matter of expert .
Things may not turn out so desperately bad as tW
seem ; but, under any conceivable circumstances aoi
changes for the better, it is quite clear that a tetribb
trial is before us.

It is very easy to say it ought not to have been, * j,

Govermnent of India had sufficient warning, and th l
relying too confidently upon abstract economical laws anii
upon official calculations, it has proved itself inconwe ^
to cope with the magnitude of the approaching <hm^
For ourselves, we shrink from casting upon the Vicen/
of India and his colleagues, at tliis supremely anxiV^
moment of their career, any additional anxiety to that
which the present state of facts must needs impise m w i,'
them. We doubt not that they have acted al 1 alon^ i-,
the full sense of the tremendous responsibility of their
position. We give them ample credit for the energy
with which they have sought to avert the comiif
calamity. Their sagacity, their experience, their
fulness in the collection of detailed information, and
their inventive resources in the application of remadij
agencies, will no doubt stand forth in full relief
ever the present chapter of their administration shall U
impartially recorded. Nevertheless, “ to err is hmnaai,'
and an error in principle, or perhaps we may ratfe
say in aim, in the presence of so overwhelming a peril,
may have entailed consequences which it was within th
scope of human effort to have averted. To save life ai
any cost is one thing: to stive life with as little derange
ment of the ordinary mechanism of society is (mother.
The hitter is the better of the two, if it can be secured
with certainty. Wo imagine that it was the conviction
of the Viceroy’s Government that, in the main, it could;
that the calamity was not of too colossal a nature to
become manageable by the application of ordinary law?,
and that, if such were the state of the case, it would be
an unjustifiable waste of means—not material only, but
also social and moral—to supersede the common forces
which are found to conduce to the welfare of nation?.
We are afraid that this will prove to have been a mis¬
take. Recent telegrams strengthen previous misgivings
lest the evil may have been underrated. Eveu now,
however, most of us are but too eager to suppose tbit
their apprehensions cast over the future ail exaggerated
shadow of gloom and misery.

We are glad to observe that Mr. Disraeli, as the time
draws near for his undertaking the conduct ivtli*
affairs, has fixed his eye upon tlie state ot India? V 10
speech at Buckingham, on Tuesday last, he treated tk
question in a tone and maimer highly becoming bia re¬
sponsible position. He freely admitted the great dif¬
ficulties which the existing Government have had t.) deal
with in respect to India. He acknowledged that te
difficulties were not the consequences of any misgovern
ment on their part. He declared his confidence tt
the character of the Queen’s Viceroy in that empire,
in his great industry, great firmuess, aud large re¬
source. He refused to harbour a suspicion that her
Majesty’s Government had not made great prepara¬
tions for the occasion. But he took the opportunity
of criticising, in a statesmanlike strain, soma of the
remedial appliances which have been resorted to. The*?
criticisms it is not our present purpose to pass under
review, further than to give expression to the satisfy
tion we feel in the proofs which they afford that tfi
future Premier has already gravely pondered the problem
presented by the present state of Indian affairs.

There are two serious dangers with which the Govern¬
ment of India has now to combat—the one is a bred
down of the means of transport, and consequently 3
failure of the machinery of distribution ; the other istk
imposition of relief works under conditions totally^*
compatible with the maintenance of physical vigour. D e
possibility of supplying food in proportion to the absolute
want of every family is now, we fear, a thing of
past. It might have been done, perhaps, and at no WJ
enormous expense, if the necessity for doing it hal ^
pressed itself some month or two ago upon the Viceroy-'
mind. It is now too late td do so effectually. The
required for the transport of grain to Isolated and remo*-
localities remains no longer at command. Some of
ordinary channels of communication have already km*
An insufficient supply of rice is, perhaps, not to ba
bended. The difficulty will be felt in getting the food
the places where hunger prevails. Immense effort^ jV
may take for granted, will be made to overcome ‘t;

difficulty; but every day's delay has augmented ^
obstructive power, and, it is to be feared, may have ^ v ‘
the doom of thousands of human beings. ,.

Then, .as to testing the reality of want by l p
exaction of labour, no doubt it is a good rule in orau^
circumstances ; but as little doubt is there that it is 0
which cannot be enforced without extreme cruelty m
case of a famine-stricken nation. The Governing
India must make up its mind to become a victim •
some degree to imposture. It need not re * aX

vigilance, nor resign itself to the encroaclnnen ^ ^
idleness and vice, without some inquiry. 5 ^
so large a population is known to be stt n ~

people to relief works. We do not by any
means intend to imply that some labour may
not, under some conditions and in some places, be
insisted upon as the price of grain. It need not be
exacted as a test of destitution. It ought not to be
enforced without discrimination. In every case it is
unsuitable to women and children. All this, we trust,
will before now have commended itself to the judgment
and sympathies of the Indian Government. The worst
of it is that lives are being forfeited whilst officials are
becoming convinced. One cannot but hope that, as one
of the beneficial results of that change of Administration
which the general election has unexpectedly made im¬
perative, a fresh impulse may be given to the Indian
Administration in dealing with probably the greatest
impending calamity of the age.

36,902 were in w'orkhouses and 70,309 received outdoor relief.
Compared with the corresponding weeks in the years 1873,
1872, and 1871 respectively, these figures show a decrease of
7119, 17,455, and 57,039. The number of vagrants relieved ou
the last day of the w*eek was 508, of whom 354 were men, 116
women, and 38 children under sixteen.

A meeting of Roman Catholics, to counteract the influence
of tho recent demonstrations of sympathy with German Pro¬
testantism, was held yesterday week, in St. James’s Hall,
under the presidency of the Duke of Norfolk. Many persons
of note were present ; and the attendance was so large that a
second meeting w’as held in Warwick-street church, and a
third in a large room at St. James’s Hall. Sir Charles Clifford
took the chair at the latter meeting, and the Hon. and Rev. G.
Talbot, D.D., at Warwick-strect church.

On Wednesday night tho twenty-second anniversary festival
in connection with the Hospital for Sick Children, Great Ormond-
street, was celebrated at Willis's Rooms. Sir F. Golilsmid,
Bart., M.P., presided. A large list of subscriptions and dona¬
tions was read by the secretary. Worthily heading these was
a third donation from Mr. John Walter, M.P., of £250, which
was ably supplemented by one of £200 from the chairman,
£100 from Mr, B. W. Currie, £50 from Lord Overstone, £50 from
Mr. R. B. Wilson, and £25 from the Marquis of Exeter.

At the annual meeting of the Fellows of the Royal Horti¬
cultural Society, on Tuesday, there w r as an animated discus¬
sion on the motion for the adoption of the report. An amend¬
ment was moved proposing the adjournment of the meeting to
March 10, to enable the opinion of tlie Court of Chancery to be
obtained, if possible, in a friendly way, as to the legality of the
election of the new council. For the amendment 52 voted, and
for the report 71. The proxies were then handed iu : for the
amendment, 225 ; for the report, 231.

Lord Derby presided, on Tuesday night, at Willis’s Rooms,
at the anniversary dinner of University College Hospital.
In proposing the toast of the evening his Lordship spoke at
some length, on the subject of charitable institutions, observing
that there were none so safe from abuse as a groat and estab¬
lished hospital. Sir F. H. Golilsmid, in proposing the health
of the chaiiman, saida great contest had been going on throughout
the country for the last fortnight, of which he would only say that
those who had been defeated would feel less disappointment
and concern, W'hile those w'ho had succeeded might not feel
less joy, if, as the result, the highest position in the State were
assigned to their noble chairman. Lord Derby, in replying,
said:—“My hon. friend has thrown the ‘fly’ over me with
great skill and ingenuity, but 1 don’t mean to 4 rise. ’ All I
would say in the matter to which he has alluded is that I go in
for fair play, and I think that those who fought the battle ought
to enjoy tlie victory. n The subscriptions announced during the
evening amounted to £1500.”

“LOW LIFE."

In none of his numerous works now* at Burlington Hou^ >, or
elsewhere that we remember, is Sir Edwin Landseer ever
happier in suggesting analogies between the eauino race 3 and
different orders of men than in the two pictures of 14 High
Life ” and “ Low* Life,” in the Vernon Collection at tho South
Kensington Museum, both of wliicli we have now engraved—
the Illustration of tho former having appeared in our Number
for Jan. 31 last. Two men could hardly differ from each other
more completely, in themselves and their surroundings, than
do that Scotch deer-hound which appeared in our Paper a fort¬
night ago and this English bull-terrier; and if the Baron’s noble
hound is a fitting representative of “High Life,” surely this
burly, bandy-legged butcher's dog is the very impersonation
of “ Low Life.” Not even the opposite counsel in the trial of
the “ Claimant,” whatever the object in view, could represent
the Roger Ticliborne and Arthur Orton of former days as more
essentially distinct beings. The one dog is of the purest breed—
thin, sinewy, agile, fond of hold Bports—yet, as he reclines
against his lord s cushion, he has a thoughtful, even melancholy,
air. And every accessory about him—sword and casque, books
and manuscript (perhaps the rent or pedigree roll), hawking-
glove and eagle’s-claw—tell of aristocratic life and tastes. The
other dog is a vulgar cross of two plebeian breeds. Ho is
neither active nor graceful in his movements, nor is he beautiful
to look at. There is, however, plenty of fight in him; and,
though out of condition, ho would be a match for most dogs in
a short tussle, and rats would have small chance in his neigh¬
bourhood. He has doubtless been at many a dog-light, ratting-
rnatch, and pugilistic encounter. His master's habits may bo
inferred from the pewter pot and pipe behind the dog, and tlie
empty bottle above. His sportmg proclivities are probably
indicated by tho top-boots and blue spotted necktie ; whilst his
employment is evident from the butcher’s block, knife, &c.
Fat, overfed, indolent, impudent, blinking or winking one eye
in the sunshine, and licking his lips over a well-polished bone,
the butcher’s dog stands at his master’s door in stolid self-
satisfaction, and perfectly content with the “Low Life” he
leads and represents.

THE ASHANTEE WAR.

There has been some doubt concerning the genuineness of a
despatch, published yesterday w eek, bearing date the 24th nib,,
and purporting to come from Sir Garnet Wolseley, who was
said to be then encamped ou the Adanai hills, half-way bet ween
the river Prali and the Ash ail tee capital city of Coomassie. But
the drift of its news lias obtained confirmation from its agree¬
ment with letters of the 15th from Prah-su, which were pub¬
lished last Thursday. A German missionary, Mr. Kiihno, had
been sent down from Coomassie by tho King of Ashantee to
offer or invite terms of peace. More than half the Ashantee
anny which invaded the Gold Coast country a fcwelvouiouth
ago had perished ; about 20,000 had returned, aud there was
great lamentation at Coomassie. Mr. Kiihne had seen 300
dead bodies of Asli an tee chiefs. The chief causes of this great
mortality were famine, smallpox, and dysentery, bub the
Ashantees had many killed in the fight at Abrakrampa. What
remained of their army, which had been under the command of
a General named Amanquantia, reached Coomassie on Dec. 22,
and almost immediately dispersed. Three days afterwards
King Koffec Calcalli, having deliberated upon this state of
affairs, dictated to an educated native, who could write EugLish,
a long letter to Sir Garnet Wolseley. He sent this down to
Prah-su, where Sir Garnet’s head-quarters then were, by a party
of Asliantee messengers, w’hose arrival iu the British camp, at
the end of December, has been mentioned.

Our Special Artist, in one of his sketches engraved for this
w eek’s paper, show's the crossing of the river Prah by these
ambassadors on a pontoon raft, accompanied by Lieutenant
Grant and another English officer, who had gone across to meet
them. Four of the most important members of the Ashantee
embassy are conveyed on the first raft; their chief is dis¬
tinguished by a coloured handkerchief tied round his head, aud
a square gold plate on his chest. The raft seen in the distance
bears seven other Ashantee messengers or attendants, wick one
British officer. Sir Garnet YVolseley received the letter they
brought, but declined to see them. They were shown the
practice of our Gatling battery gun, which frightened them so
much that one of them w*ent mad, and Bhot himself in the
night. Or this may have been from his fear of disgrace, when
ho found that their mission would prove a failure, as they were
told Sir Garnet Wolseley meant to go on to Coomassie. These
Ashantees returned to their King, reaching the capital on the
Sth ult., and next day the King sent for Mr. Kiihne, who
hail been detained there in captivity four years aud a half,
but had not been severely ill-treated. He found the
King alone, dressed in a white cloth, and seated on a low stool
playing with his cats. Mr. Kiihne was invested with a royal
robe, such as is worn by the King’s relatives, and w r as presented
with a gift of gold. He was then told that the King would
send him to the English or Governor-General to say that the
IviBg w'anted peace ; “he would not fight with the white men,
even if they came into the market-place, for his ancestors had
never fought with the white man.” This of course is an un¬
truth on the part of his Majesty, whose predecessors, Os.ii
Qtiaco Duah and Osai Tootoo Quamina, fought great battles
w ith the English in 1824 and 1S26, on the former occasion de¬
feating and slaying Governor Sir Charles McCarthy. Mr.
Kithne undertook the message of peace, and arrived at Prah-ail
on the 13th, meeting Sir Garnet Wolseley ou his march to
Coomassie.

The General had several hundred sailors aud marines, with
a picked company of soldiers from each of the three European
regiments w'hich had come up to Prah-su. There was great
difficulty in the transport of stores, as the Fantee carriers hired
at Cape Coast Castle w ould not go farther towards the Ashantee
country. The men of the two West India negro regiments
wore therefore obliged to be used as carriers. One of our
Illustrations show's the arrival of the naval brigade on the 3 rd
ult., w hich was mentioned in our Special Artist’s letter. They
are dressed in coats of dark blue, with waist-belts, and three or
four straps over the shoulders, to which are hung the water-
bottles and filters, ammunition-pouches, aud haversacks for
their rations of food. They* have with them a native boy,
whom they picked up on tho road. He wanted to go with
them to join his father and brother on the other side of tho
Prah. The English sailors took kindly to this little fellow*
and he has become a pet amongst them.

We present [also two Hlustrations of earlier date : one is
that of a regiment starting from Cape Coast Castle on its march
inland ; the other show's tlie Royal Engineers fixing the electric
telegraph wires along the line to Irah-su. Their greatest
labour is to cut cown the trees and clear away the brusiwood
in the dense forest of that tropical clime.

THE ELECTIONS.

By the absolute verdict of the constituencies, the Conservative
party is about to govern this country. The llow of the electoral
success of that party which began to rise last week has since
risen to such a height that there will be a working majority
and something more in the House of Commons against
Liberalism, and England will be entering on a new political
regime. In a comparatively desultory manner, but in some
sort a chronological sequence, some record of the changes of
the election may be given, premising that the English consti¬
tuencies have mo 3 t decidedly pronounced for Conservatism ;
that in Ireland there have been some Liberal gams, always
supposing that the Home Rulers who have been returned are
to be all counted as Liberals ; while, strange to say, in
Scotland there have been Tory gains, and seats have been taken
from some notable adherents or the Gladstone Government.

In the lirst amongst the variations of memberdom which
have occurred in this week must be placed the defeat of
Mr. M‘Cl lire, the former Liberal member for Belfast, Mr. J. P.
Cony, a Conservative, having been returned ; and as Mr.
William Johnson, Tory and Orangeman, ha 3 been re¬
elected, the representation is wholly Conservative. Per¬
haps the greatest shock the Liberal party has received, and
the most significant indication of Tory reaction, is the
defeat of Mr. James White and Mr. Fawcett at Brighton.
Each in liis own way was a typical Liberal, and their
vanqnishment has not been soothed by the negative satis¬
faction that they have fallen before “ foemon worthy of then*
steel; ” for their places have been taken only by Mr. Ashbury,
who is certainly a foremost yacliting-man, and General Shut©,
who is certainly a distinguished olb cer in a particular way. At
Canterbury the one-and-one condition of the representation has
ceased, Captain Brinckman, the late Liberal member, having
been forced to cede his seat to Mr. Majendie, a Conservative;
while Air. Butler-Jolinstone, the late member of the same
political persuasion, keeps his place. A useful Liberal mem¬
ber, with a specialty in regard to experience of India, Sir
Charles Wingfield, has been routed out of Gravesend by Captain
Pirn, who, to put it mildly, is romantic in his ideas generally,
and, so far as we recollect, is troubled with grievances. A com¬
plete upset has occurred at Ipswich, where Mr. Adair, long a
most valuable member in matters of private business, and Mr.
West, who was rather conspicuous (in a certain way) in the
House, have been ousted by two Conservatives, Mr. J. P.
Cob bold, who, to be sure, has some hereditary claims on the
borough, and Air. J. R. Bulwer, Q.C., so that the representa¬
tion is wholly Tory.

The Conservative element in Manchester has proved domi¬
nant ; for the late member of that creed, Mr. Biriey, has secured
a colleague of cognate political sympathies in Air. Romaine
Callender, the third seat being occupied by the venerable and
venerated former Liberal member, Sir Thomas Bazley ; while
Air. Jacob Bright did not get a place at all, and is “left
Jamc-iiting.” By the rejection of Lord Henley at Northampton
the Government has lost a steady vote, and the House a sago
and judicious m'ember; and Air. Pickering Pkipp 3 , a Con¬
servative, will henceforth be the coadjutor of Mr. Charles
Gilpin, the late Liberal member. At Norwich a victory* was
gained over Mr. T»llett, who sought the seat left vacant by the
late Liberal member, Sir William Rut? ell, by Mr. Huddleston,
Q.C. ; but Air. Column, the other former Liberal member,
saved his seat, and the representation is now divided instead
of being, as hitherto, completely Liberal. The retirement of
Sir E. AI assingham Bull or from N orth Staffordshire lias deprived
the Gladstone Government of a straight vote, and Sir Charles
Aiidcrley has in Mr. C. Minton Campbell a supporter who will
be an addition to the Conservative ranks. Again a borough
fonreWy tine to Liberalism—.stoke-on-Trent—has fallen away
Ly choosing Conservative Mr. Heath in the room of Liberal Mr.
Bciun ; but Mr. Aloliy lias retained his seat, though lie was
second on the poll.

The first indication in Scotland of the existence of the
Conservative epidemic which lias been pravalenfc was the choice
of Colonel Alexander for North Ayrshire, in the place of the
late Liberal member, Sir JL). \\ eaderburn, who did not seek re¬
elect ion. A very old Liberal member, Sir Harry Veruey,
lias been pushed out by Conservative Air. Hubbard, junior,
whose father formerly sat for the borough when it had
two representatives. The favour in which Sir Henry Hoare
was believed to be held in Chelsea has proved not to
be sufficiently powerful to resist the rush of Conserva¬
tism, and so he has been replaced by Air. Gordon, who
will have to bear with a Radical colleague, as Sir Charles
Dilke retains his seat. Christchurch was not wooed by
the late member, Mr. Havilancl-Burke; and a Tory, Sir
Henry Drummond Wolff, has got into that hitherto Liberal
fold. Deserted by Air. T. Hughes, Frome has added to the
Conservative victories by returning Air. H. Lopes, who sat in
the last Parliament for Launceston. Disregarding liis long
tenure of the representation of the borough on Liberal prin¬
ciples, Leeds has, as it were, cast out Air. Baines, though it has
retained Mr. Carter, whose pronounced Radicalism may,
perhaps, neutralise the additional Conservatism which has
been infused into the memberdom by Air. Wheelhou.se, the late
member, having a colleague after his own political heart, in the
person of Air. R. Tennant. Re-election at Knaresborough was
not sought by the late Radical member, Mr. Illingworth ; and,
after a contest, Mr. B. Wo odd took the place.

The city of London has emphatically pronounced for Con¬
servatism. Air. Goschen was the only Liberal returned, and he
was at the foot of the poll—Air. Alderman Lawrence and Baron
Rothschild being nowhere ; while Air. Alderman Cotton, Mr.
Hubbard, and Mr. Twells sit in their places. How it would
have been if Air. R. Crawford, one of the late Liberal
members, had not retired, it is impossible to say. Whatever
ihe infiuenco which has acted on political opinion in this
election may have been, it was potent in Maryleboue,
from the representation of which Air. Harvey Lewis having
retired, Sir Thomas Chambers, the other late Liberal
member, will now have a Conservative colleague in Mr.
Forsyth, Q.C., who was at the head of the polL Sir John
Ramsden, the late Liberal representative of tlie Alonmouth
Boroughs, did not go thither again, and an accession has been
made to Conservatism by the choice of Air. Cordes. The defeat
of Air. Hibbert at Oldham, by Mr. Serjeant Spinks, is very
suggestive, inasmuch as he was one of the most respected
members of the House when lie was in a private station, and
proved, as Secretary to the Local Government Board, a satis¬
factory official. He has, however, to give way, and *\Ir.
Cubbett, the other late member, will havehis recent Conseiwa-
tij in nourished and intensified by association with his new*
colkague. Again has a Scottish constituency proved recreant
to tie Liberal cause, for Stirlingshire has put into the place of
Admiral Erskine (who did not stand on this occasion) a
Convtrvative, Sir W. Edmonstone having in a contest
beaten a new Liberal candidate, Sir W. Bruce. By a
fantPfctic trick the Tower Hamlets lias chosen to put a Air.
Bitthic, entirely unknown as a public man, at the head of the
poll, 1ms retained Mr. Eamuda, one of the late Liberal

members, and rejected Mr Ayrton-an act which would seem
to be intended as a direct slap at the Government. In West¬
minster two Conservatives were returned ui a whirlwind
fashion, Mr. W. H. Smith, of course, retaining his seat, while
Sir Charles Russell has been given to him as a collogue. This
is ^™ancc of the fatuity .of the Liberals m crowding
their candidature on constituencies for, had they pursued their
intention of running Sir T. Fowcll Buxton alone for the seat
left vacant by the retirement of Captain Grosvenor, and con-
centratcd their votes, the onc-and-one condition of the repre¬
sentation might have been preserved, whereas the candidature
of Sir W. Codriiigton, by which it was sought to assail both
seats, ended inevitably in the letting in of a Tory.

Once more, Scotland is in Liberal default, and this time a
borough, the urban constituencies having hitherto been con¬
sidered as towers of strength to the party of progress. Ayr
has got rid of Air. E. Craufurd, the late member, and has
chosen a Conservative Baronet, Sir W. Cunningham, in his
stead. It is believed that there will bo one universal feeling
of regret amongst the members who were in the former Houso at
the loss of Mr. Locke King, whom the electors of East Surrey
liavo rejected, and given the late Conset'vative member. Air.
Watnev, a colleague of his own way of thinking in the person
of Mr. W. Grantham.

The Carmarthen Boroughs were not asked to re-elect the
late Liberal member, Sir J. Cowell Stepney, but they were
asked to supply his place by his son, Air. Arthur Stepney ; they
declined, however, and chose a Conservative, Mr. W. Neville. A
Conservative has been returned at the head of the poll for the
city of Dublin—namely, Sir Arthur Guinness, who was returned
also in 186S, but unseated on petition. With him is joined Mr.
Brookes, a Home Ruler, who happens just now to be Lord Mayor
of the city. Air. Pirn, one of the late Liberal members, was rele¬
gated to the foot of the poll; his former colleague, Sir Dominic
Corrigan, did not stand. In South Wilts Mr. Fraser Grove,
the late Liberal meml>er, was defeated by Viscount Folkstone,
who, with the other previous member, Lord Henry Tliynne,
makes the representation entirely Conservative. Another
English county, Gloucestershire (West), which returned two
Liberal members to the last Parliament, has rejected one—or,
at least, lias supplied the place of Air. Alarling, who retired, by
Mr. R. E. Plunkett—though Colonel Kingscote, the other
Liberal, retains his 6 eat. Ayrshire South lias followed the
example of the northern division, and rejected the late Liberal
member, Mr. Finnic, for Air. Roger Montgomerie, a Conservative.
A heavy blow' to the Government has been dealt in the Wigton
district by the rejection of the Lord Advocate for Scotland,
and the election of a mere Air. Stuart. Essex South has sent
away its two late Liberal members, Air. Wingfield Baker and
Mr. Andrew Johnstone, and become wholly Conservative, by
the return of Air. T. C. Baring and Colonel Alakins; and the
county cf Edinburgh, by not finding a Liberal to succeed Sir
A. Alaitiand (who did not stand again), and choosing the Earl
of Dalkeith, has restored the Tory dominancy in the county,
which was destroyed at the last election.

Turning to the enumeration of the Liberal gains, the task
is not veiy heavy, though in some few instances the victories
obtained have been good ones. Thus the entire representation
of North Durham has been obtained by the return of Air.
Lowthian Bell and Air. Palmer, whereas it was formerly
divided between Sir Hedworth Williamson (who did not stand
this time), a Liberal, and Mr. George Elliott, a Conservative.
At Kirkcudbright a hybrid Liberal, Sir \Y. Herries Maxwell,
has been replaced by a total one, Mr. Maitland. In Ireland
some successes—notable for changes in a Liberal direction—
have been made in some of the northern Conservative boroughs.
Thus Colonel Knox, a loud-spoken Tory and Orangeman, has
yielded his seat at Dungannon to Air. Dickson ; and Sir
Hervey Bruce has had to give his seat at Coleraine to
Air. 1). Taylor. There is a question whether the late
representative of Dungarvan, All*. Henry Alattliews is a
Tory or a Liberal, so batlike are his oscillations between
the two parties ; but, at any rate, he has made way for an
absolute liberal, Air. 0. Keefe, and Lord Newry has been
forced out of the borough which gives him his title by a
Liberal, Air. Whitworth. Mayo County, which was loft un¬
sought by its late Conservative member, Lord Bingham, has
become wholly Lil>cral by giving to the other late member, Mr.
G. E. Browne, as a colleague, Mr. T. Tighe. A little while
ago Colonel Pease, a Tory, was returned for Hull, in the
room of the late Air. Olay, and the representation was thus
neutralised. Before, however, he could take his seat, he ha 3
been ousted by Air. A. H. Willson, and the other late member,
Air. Norwood, has again a colleague of his own Liberal opinions.
In County Down there is a gain, for though Lord Arthur Hill-
Trevor, one of the former Conservative members, has been
again returned, Colonel Fordo, who sat with him in the last
Parliament and was politically in unison with him, lias gono
down before Mr. J. Shannon-Crawford, a tenant-right candi¬
date, and son of Air. AY. Shannon-Crawford, once so prominent
a member of the House.

For Berwickshire Mr.W. Aliller, a Liberal, wa 3 returned
late in last Session; but he has had a very short tenure of his
seat, for lie has been defeated now by Alajor Baillie Hamilton,
who is thus added to the Conservative strength. In a paren¬
thetic way, it may here be mentioned that Mr. Adam, the
Chief Commissioner, whose seat for Clackmannanshire was
threatened, lias been triumphantly returned by a largo
majority. There has been a Liberal gain in the county of Elgin,
Lord Macduff having turned out the late Conservative member,
the Hon. Ogilvie Grant. A seat has been taken from the
Liberal party in Derbyshire East Air. Strutt having given
way before Mr. F. Arkwright (there will be now three
members of that name in the House), but Admiral Egerton,
the late Liberal member, has again been returned. The
county of Herts is now wholly Conservative, Air. T. Halsey
having taken the place of Air. H. R. Brand, who represented it
in the last Parliament; the other Liberal member, Mr. H.
C'owper, though returned, being at the wrong end of the poll.
The state of the representation is thus reversed, for, whereas
there were formerly two Liberals and one Conservative (Air.
Abel Smith) as members, there are now two Conservatives and
one Liberal. Colonel Tomline will be entirely lost to the
Bouse, for, having forsaken Grimsby and wooed East Suffolk
as a Liberal, he has been defeated by Conservative Lord
lUndleHam, who takes the place vacated by Mr. Corrance, of
the s&ino political creed. In the southern division of the
West Riding of Yorkshire Liberal Mr. H. F. Beaumont, a late
member, has succumbed before Conservative Air. Starkey; and,
coming nearer home, we find that in Aliddlesex Air. Coope, a
Conservative, has ousted Lord Enfield, Uuder-Secretary of
State for Foreign Affairs. With this for the present this chro
nicle of the elections closes.

At the annual meeting of the Huntingdonshire Agricultural
Society the show was fixed for Soft. 9, and will be held at St.
Necta. Among other gifts, the Duke of Arancliester promised a
silver cup, value 20 gs., for horses, and Air. J. AI. Heathcote pro¬
mised a cup valued at the same amount,

foreign and colonial news.

FRANCE.

(From our Correspondent at Paris.)

Thursday, Feb. 12.

Public attention has been divided this week between the
speech delivered by Alarshal AlacMahon at his
visit to the Tribunal de Commerce and the elections in the
departments of the Pas-de-Calais and the Haute-Sa 6 ae. Tim
AlarshaTs oration, of which we have had an offi nal vorjina
bears unmistakable signs of having been composed by ^
Due de Broglie, and was, we are told, essentially au electoral"
manoeuvre destined to influence the result of Sunday’s scru(\ a
“On Nov. 19,” said the Due de Alagenta, in answer to p fJ ’
sident Daguin’s congratulatory address, “the Assembly
intrusted me with the government for seven years, and m?
first duty is to secure the execution of that decision. Hiveni
uneasiness, therefore. During these seven years I skill bj
able to make all parties respect the present legally-edible L > [

0 der of things. A\ r e shall, I hope, also see calm restored tj
the public mind and confidence revive. Confidence is,
be created by decrees, but my acts will be of a nature t>
command it. ”

All this, it was thought, would influence Sunday’s electi^.
and, in some measure, it has done so. Neither Rayalists tqf
Republicans are precisely pleased with the result of the scrtift,.
The former jubilantly announced beforehand that the Qua.
eervative candidates were certain to triumph, and the latter
avere equally confident concerning the success of their o*a
party. In the Haute-Saf>nc M. Horisson, the well-known
Radical member of the Paris Municipal Council, has defeat*!
the Due de Marmier, his competitor, by an overwhelming ma-
jority ; but in the Pas ile-Calais — a department which, it is
true, has almost invariably returned Conservative deputies—
AI. Brasme, the Republican candidate, has been beaten by his
antagonist, M. .Sons. The polities of the latter are somewhat
enigmatical. The Royalists claim him as a Fusionist; the
Bonaparti 8 ts hail him as a partisan of Napoleon IA T . This only
appears certain—that in his electoral adaress he has promised
to unswervingly support the Government of Alarshal MacMahoo.
On the whole, the Republicans liavo no reason to complain.
Eight months ago AI. Longlet, their candidate in the Pas-de-
Calais, was defeated by a majority of 18,000 votes ; on Sundiv
M. Brasinc only needed 2700 additional votes to be returns!
The Republican cause, spite of Alinistcrial manoeuvres, is un¬
doubtedly rapidly gaining ground.

The dismissal of Republican mayors continues. No less
than 145 have been discharged by the Minister of the Interior
and the Prefet in the department of the Gironde alone. In
many instances the authoritatively-appointed functionaries
decline the proffered honour ; and the Republican jourmls
register, daily, protestations from all parts of Franco agauat
the arbitrary manner in which the Government is carrying the
obnoxious municipal law into effect. The Royalists are becoming
frightened at the large number of Bonaparfcists who are being
appointed, and the organs of the Extreme Right admit that the
deputies of their party are already beginning to regret having
assisted the Government in carrying the “Loi des Maire 8 . ,,

On Saturday M. Buffet was re-elected to the Presidency of
the National Assembly, by 34S votes against 295 given to
AI. Leon Say. AIM. Fourcand and Rameau, the recently-
dismissed Mayors of Bordeaux and Versailles, were unsuccea*
ful candidates at the election for Vice-Presidents, MM. Martel
Eenoist d'Azy, De Goulard, Cliahaud-Latour, being
by considerable majorities. Throughout the w
Assembly has been occupied in discussing the various tinea
and financial expedients proposed with the view of providing
for the deficit in the Budget, but without adopting any of
them. General de Ladnurault, Governor of Paris, Laving
requested tlie authorisation of tlio Chamber for the prose¬
cution of one of its members, M. AI el vil * Blon court, a coloured
gentleman deputy for Guadaloupe, accused of having boon
implicated in the Commune, a committee has been appointed
to report upon this demand. M. Bloncourt appears to have
escaped to London. The step taken by the Governor of Paris
has caused a great sensation, such a long delay having elapjod
since the perpetration of the offences complained of. At a
recent meeting of the Amnesty Committee the Pr 6 fet of Police
stated that the Councils of War had hitherto judged 50,OW
Communists, 900 alone remaining to be disposed of. He declared
that it was impossible to classify the prisoners for the ourpo3e
of an amnesty, seeing that many privates in the National GaarJ
were more guilty than the officers ; added to which in several
instances insufficient sentences, considering the serious nyure
of the crimes committed, had been passed. It was his opinion
that the Councils of War should settle the 900 remaining ci 3;3
previous to any steps being taken with regard to an amnesty.

years of age. His greatest claim to the attention of posterity
will undoubtedly be his History of France, remarkable alike
for its brilliant, picturesque, and frequently eccentric, stvtei

LAW AND POLICE.

TRIAL OF THE TICHRORNE CLAIMANT Foil PERJURY.

Tn summarising the Australian evidence, yesterday week, the
Lord Chief Justice excluded from consideration the story of
the cheque drawn by Roger Tichborne at Melbourne, which
was stated by the defence to have come into the possession of
Mr. Hopkins! His Lordship’s reasons for discrediting it were
the impassibility of Mr. Hopkins concealing such a proof of
Roger’s existence from his relatives, and the fact that no one
else had seen the alleged cheque. In introducing Arthur
Orton npen the scene, his Lordship objected to Dr. Kenealy’s
description of him as a “low, coarse brute." There was
nothing, ho said, in Orton’s letters to warrant the assertion.
In analysing the defendant’s own account of himself in
Australia, it was shown that his defence turned on the ten
months of an interval in his movements which he had not
accounted for. Mrs. M ‘Allister’s evidence was commended to
the special attention of the jury, as leading to the conclusion
that Arthur Orton and the defendant were identical. The
Lord Chief Justice then tested the principal incidents iu the
defendant’s later life at Wagga-Wagga and elsewhere. He
asked the jury if it wa3 likely Roger Tichborne would
have taken to" butchering, or horse-breaking, or such like
colonial occupations. He concluded with an estimate of Mr.
Cubitt’s evidence as to his first acquaintance with the de¬
fendant, and the circumstances under which he disclosed his
claim to the Hampshire baronetcy.

On Monday his Lordship entered into an examination of the
statements made by the defendant to Mr. Gibbes and others in
Australia, at the period when he first set up his claim to the
Tick home estates. He analysed tho whole of the defendant’s
original communications to Gibbes at Wagga-Wagga, the cor¬
respondence with Lady Tichborne, and the various accounts
first given by the defendant of his early life. His Lordsliip
traced out the possibilities of the defendant having obtained
family information from his companion Slate, a Hamp.ihire
man, and from the biographical articles in the illustrated
London News. It was strongly impressed on the jury that
Roger Tichborne could not have known any of the names in¬
serted by the defendant in the Wagga-Wagga will as his
executors. In support of the supposition that the idea of
claiming the Tichborne estates had not been long entertained
before it was put in execution, his Lordship instanced the
defendant’s marriage at a Wesleyan chapel, and a number of
the entries in the pocket-book picked up in Wagga-Wagga. In
commenting on Dr. Kenealv’s attempt to reconcile these dis¬
crepancies his Lordship said it amounted to asking tho jury to
believe there had been an interchange of minds between Orton
and the Defendant. His Lordship afterwards alludod to the
defendant’s statements with respect to the regiment in which
he served in the Army and the position which he held in it.

Proceeding, on Tuesday, with his analysis of the Australian
evidence, the Lord Chief Justice dissected the statutory declara¬
tion made by the defendant in Sydney, remarking upon tho
names of ships and persons and dates appearing in it that could
not possibly nave been known to Roger Tichborne. The atten¬
tion of the jury was next directed to the defendant’s mistake in
comparing Lady Tichborne with Mrs, Butts, of the Metro¬
politan Hotel—a tall, burly woman. On the alleged recog¬
nition of Bogle by the defendant his Lordship was more lenient
(ban Mr. Hawkins had been. He gave Bogle credit for bond
fides, but instanced many cases in which his evidence was un¬
reliable. Having traced the defendant to Ford’s Hotel,
Manchester-square. hia Ixirdship commented on the urgency
of the motive which could take a man out of a comfortable room

on a Christmas night, and, after landing from a long sea
voyage, to make an expedition to Wappiug. His Lirdship
intimated that little importance was to bo attached to tho
theories by which the defendant’s counsel attempted to explain
away such proceedings as the visit to the Globe public-house
and the inquiries made about the Ortons. The defendant; him¬
self, he said, had never been asked what was the actual fact.

Tho summing up on Wednesday extended from the de¬
fendant’s arrival in England to his first meeting with Lady
Tichborne. The Lord Chief Justice remarked on the impru¬
dence of the visit paid by Mi*. Gosford and Mr. Cullington to
Gravesend, and tne impropriety of their conduct in forcing
themselves on the defendant. Mr. Gosford’s account of their
first interview was minutely compared with allusions to the
same incident in the defendant’s cross-examination. Stress was
laid on the strange action of Lady Tichborne in seeking the ad¬
vice of her solicitor, Mr. Bowker, and then dismissing him at the
critical moment w hen his opinion was most urgently required.
In qualification of Dr. Kenealy’s argument about the maternal
instinct, tho Lord Chief Justice pointed out how little Lady
Tichborne had seen of her son, aud how she failed to detect
obvious discrepancies in the defendant’s account of himself. Tho
brown mark aud the card case at Brighton, which he had offered
as proofs of identity, his Lordship did not undertake to pro¬
nounce upon, though he suggested a “hypothetical solution.”
He expressed his strong disapproval of the charges of con¬
spiracy made by Dr. Kenealy against the Tichborne family and
their friends.

On Thursday his Lordship referred to the interview between
Mr. Dan by Seymour, William Burdon, and the Claimant at
the Swan, at Alresford, aud afterwards at Mr. Hopkins’s. The
interview at Croydon between tho defendant, Sir P. Radcliffe,
Mrs. Towneley, and Miss Nangles was next commented on,
when he addressed Mrs. Towneley as his cousin Kate ; and
afteiwards, on Lady Radcliffe coming into the room, calling
her Mrs. Towneley. The next subject that came under
consideration was the second interview with tho de¬
fendant at Croydon. His Lordship was occupied a groat
part of the day in reading the defendant’s correspondence,
principally with Lady Tichborne, and pointing out the
errors in spelling and grammar and the ignorance dis¬
played on many subjects with which Roger Tichborne must
have been well acquainted. Referring to the initiation of the
Chancery suit, and the defendant’s examination before Mr.
Roupell, his Lordship suggested that the information which he
then undoubtedly possessed, assuming he was not Roger Tich¬
borne, might have been obtained from Lady Tichborne, Baigent,
Miss Braine, Bogle, Carter, and M*Cann, observing as to the
last three that it was most improper and irregular on his part,
knowing they would be called a 3 witnesses, to take them into
his emjdoy.

A case of breach of promise—“ Maclean v. Knight ”—was
before Lord Coleridge and a special jury, last Saturday, in the
Court of Common Fleas. Mr. Hawkins, Q.O., who appeared
for the plaintiff, said that a consultation between himself aud
Serjeant Fairy, who represented the defendant, had resulted
in an arrangement that a verdict for the plaintiff should be
taken by consent for £2000. The learned counsel stated that
a good many private matters wore involved in the case. A
verdict for the above amount was accordingly returned.

An action for slander, arising out of some differences in
connection with pigeon shooting, was tried in the Court of
Queen’s Bench on Saturday ; and the plaintiff, son of a general
officer, obtained a verdict, with damages of £50, against his
traducer, by whom he had bc^u called a cheat and a blackguard.

In the Court of Queen’s Bench Mr. Justice Blackburn has
been engaged with a social jury in trying an action for libel
brought against the Times newspaper. The libel complained of
was contained in a letter w ritben to the Times from Paris in
January, 1873, by a correspondent of that paper, aud headed
“Sham Correspondents," which stated, in substance, that a
“Monsieur Pollies,” who was said to have abstracted some
pajiers from M. Thiers’s house during the Commune, had been
passing himself off' as a correspondent of the Times. The jury
returned a verdict for the plaintiff—damages, £50.

For participation in a violent robbery from the person of
Joseph Bush, a young ruffian named John Brown was, on Mon¬
day, sentenced at the Middlesex Sessions to seven years’ penal
servitude and another term of seven years’ police supervision.
The prosecutor's wife, who had behaved with great courage in
seizing and holding the prisoner, though she was set upon and
cruelly beaten by a number of her own sex, received from the

Court a reward of £ 1 , accompanied by high commendation.-*

Robert Aikman was, on Tuesday, sentenced to seven years*
penal servitude and seven years’ supervision by the police. The
prisoner had visited the clubs and some of the first-cla 3 s hotels
of the metropolis, and, whilst the waiters were inquiring after
some name he had given, he appropriated greatcoats, wrappers,
and other articles. The business for the day generally termi¬
nated by his entering an hotel, where he managed to slip from
the cabman, and cheat him of liis fare.

Templcmau, the attorney, and Giraud, the Frenchman,
charged with defrauding Messrs. Robarts, Lubbock, and Co.,
by passing a forged cheque for £1242, have been convicted at
the Central Criminal Court, and sentenced to fifteen years*
penal servitude.

“ Something called coffee,” which had been] seized on the
premises of Mr. Syers, in Lime-street, was on Tuesday con¬
demned at Guildhall, in spite of the owner’s representation,
first, that he had himself drank a decoction of it, and, secondly,
that it w as sold to go abroad.

Mr. Arthur Foster, clerk in a Government office, was again
brought before Mr. Knox at Marlborough-street, yesterday
week, charged with violently assaulting Mr. Denyer, an hotel-
keeper in Dover-street, and was committed for trial.

William Cole, in the employ of the Civil Service Co-operative
Stores, Haymarket, was finally examiued at Marlborough-
strect, on Saturday, cliarged with robbing his employers, aud
was committed for six months, with hard labour.

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS, Fbb. 14, 1874. —149

THE BIGHT HON. BENJAMIN DISRAELI,

150

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON HEWS

FEB. U, 1S74

MR. DISRAELI.

The result of the general Parliamentary elections in the ia 3 fc
two weeks is to place Mr. Disraeli in power, and we therefore
present our readers with a portrait of that distinguished states¬
man. He is sixty-eight years of age, four years older than Mr.
Gladstone. Benjamin Disraeli was born in London, it is said
in Bloomsbury-square, Dec. 21 , 1805. His father was Mr.
Isaac D’lsracli (that was the way he wrote his name), a learned
antiquarian scholar, author of “ The Curiosities of Literature ”
and the “ Calamities and Quarrels of Authors.” Mr. Isaac
Disraeli had inherited a moderate fortune from his father, who
was a London merchant in the Mediterranean trade. The
great-grandfather had come to London from Venice; but the
family, which was Jewish, had been driven to Italy from Spain,
in the fifteenth century, by a religious persecution. They had
thence assumed the uame of Israeli. Mr. Isaac Disraeli did
not adhere to the Jewish religion, but he dissented from the
Church of England, and his ton Benjamin was therefore edu¬
cated at a small jmvate school kept by the late Rev. E. Cogan,
Unitarian minister, of Walthamstow. The mother of Benjamin
Disraeli was a lady whose maiden name was Basevi, sister to the
architect of the Pavilion at Brighton. His father possessed the
estate and mansion of Bradcnham Manor, near High Wycombe,
and might have associated on equal terms with the Landed
gentry, but for his peculiarities of foreign race and creed, and
liis secluded life as a student. When Mr. Benjamin Disrael 1
left school, instead of going to one of the Universities, which
were then mere under Church direction than they now are, he
w»3 placed in an attorney's office to learn some details of busi¬
ness. This sort of work proved uncongenial, and he left it to
his younger brother, Mr. Ralph Disraeli, who afterward*
became a Registrar in the Court of Chauceiy.

The future Prime Minister chose a career of litcraiy and
romantic enterprise. Like Byron, lie roved about in Albania
and the Levant; like Shelley, he wrote a “Revolutionary
Epic.” He also wrote “ Vivian Grey,” the ideal of a bold an t
clever youngster aspiring to win the prizes of social and
political distinction by self-asserting force. This was so early
as 1827. In the saloons of Lady Blessington, and other leaders
of the fashionable world on the ultra-Liberal side, he made a
conspicuous figure, even at a juvenile age, while Mr. Gladstone,
in his college at Oxford, was imbibing the doctrines of ortho¬
doxy and austere Toryism. In Bko manner, when Mr.
Gladstone obtained a seat in the House of Commons for
Newark, by the patronage of the ultra-Tory Duke of New¬
castle, as an opponent of the Reform Bill, Mr. Disraeli, one of
the wildest of “ Dandy Radicals,” sought an entrance to Parlia¬
mentary life by an introduction from Joseph Hume. Both these
right honourable gentlemen have since found good cause to
alter their opinions, and it would be unjust to impugn the
sincerity of either at any period of his life.

It was not till 1837 that Mr. Disraeli succeeded in getting
a seat in the House, as one of the members for Maidstone His
colleague was the late Mr. Wyndham Lewis, of Pant^wynUis
Castle, Glamorganshire; and in 1S39, after the death°of that
gentleman, Mr. Disraeli married his widow. To that lady, who
m 1868 was created Viscountess Beaconsfield, he has hate¬
fully aDd chivalrously acknowledged that he owes no small part
of Ins opportunity of success. He was soon alienated from the
Radical Reform party, and connected himself with what was
then called the “ Young England ” schooL Their ideas of the
true agencies of social ana political regeneration might be
expressed by the three titles of Monarchy, Aristocracy, and
Anglican High Church. Mr. Disraeli, m 1841, exchanged
Maidstone for Shrewsbury. The opposition of some repre¬
sentatives of the landed interest to Sir Robert Peel’s free-trade
measures, and, finally, to his repeal of the corn laws, in 1840
gave occasion to Mr. Disraeli for taking a forward place iu
debate, on the side of this malcontent section of the Tory
part}', the “ Protectionists.” lie was now elected tor Buck,
inghamshire, and, with the political importance of Iris rank of
a county member, he became after Lord George Ben thick s
death, with the isolation of Sir Robert Peel, the leader of
the Conservatives in the Lower House. In this position lie
was alwaj's supported by the chief of that party, the
late Lari of Derby ; and he appears to possess the confidence
“ lc P r ^eid D>rd Derby as well. It need scarcely be stated
H r - ^i 5rael f was Chancellor of the Exchequer in the
1852, «! “ ** o£ 185S - ““<1 again from
xJ U L» to February, IS 68 , when he became First Lord of

the treasury. His Ministry was overthrown by the general
election of November, 1868, upon Mr. Gladstone's proposal to
disestablish the Protestant Church in Ireland. The most
nmarkable act of Mr. Disraeli's Government was the Parlia¬
mentary Reform Act of 1867, extending the suffrage to all
householders i in boroughs and cities. This was denounced not
only by the Tories, but by Mr. Lowe and other Liberals, as
an excessively democratic measure ; but it now seems to have
proved favourable to the Conservative party. In some
respects Mr. Disraeli lias been consistently Liberal from the
lirst, as m advocating the removal of political disabilities
imposed on account of religious belief. This was no more than
was to have been expected of the descendant of Jewish victims
of persecution.

His genius and style, both as a speaker and writer, have
Tn C u T Iy made the subject of critical comment.

Jn the orations likely to have been prepared beforehand hi*
rhetoric is too artificial, and borrowed ornaments have too often
been detected; hut in current debate, in the rapid encounter
ot wits, and especially m the vein of banter, he is certainly the
leso speaker‘we have had in the House of Commons since the
lace Lord Derby was removed to the House of Lord*. An
inestunablc merit of Mr. Disraeli is that command of temper,
with that unfailing courtesy of his personal demeanour, which
have sometimes disarmed his most bitter opponents. Whatever
fie nmy be as a politician, he is eminently a geu tie man in bear¬
ing and in feeling. He has consummate social tact, and vast
knowledge of the world. His fame as an author would pro¬
bably not have been very considerable, but for the notoriety of
us public position. A series of novels and romances, the la 3 t
".J'—ch was Lothair,” have displayed highly coloured and

DUDLEY GALLERY EXHIBITION.

I he spring exhibitions of water-colour drawings at this gallery
diminish m interest as the number of their contents augment—
ns augment they do largely, if our memory serves us. Of works
of artistic significance or importance there are certainly this
year fewer than on any former occasion. Fewer artists of
established reputation are among the contributors, aud we
almost entirely miss one element of special interest in former
gatherings—i.e., studies for pictures and sketches pour servir
made by oil painters of distinction. Nor .among the many
younger or little-known aspirants in water colours ao wo recog¬
nise, with some few exceptions, either an aim in art above or
beside the familiar or commonplace in subject, or a strenuous
effort at excellence in treatment. Some recent tendencies of
our younger artists towards the mystico-medimval or romantico-
classic were heretofore illustrated more fully at the Dudley
Gallery than elsewhere ; but they have now almost entirely
disappeared from its walls. Such tendencies had not unfre-
quently an affected or morbid character, which could not be
accepted by healthy tastes ; still they gave evidence of artistic
energies which might mature into something purer and better,
as well as original. Youth is the season of ambition, aud it is an ill
omen for the future of water-colour painting among us to find
so little that is tentative from the many young artists who
exhibit here. It might be otherwise if we had anything like a
definite school either of water colours or oil in tlii9 country—if
we had a number of capable, properly-traiuod pupils following
acknowledged masters in developing well-ascertained principles
of art. But it is not so. The leadership of the master and tho
intimate concurrence of the followers in a given direction, as
practised in all the successful historic schools of painting, is
virtually unknown among us. A few artists strike out fresh
by-paths for tliemselves and they have their little followings,
but they do not work in concert; the results, therefore, do not
clear the way to further progress. The Dudley Gallery mav be
useful as a nursery for tho old-established societies, aud there
are, no doubt, many evidences of capacity and promise in the
present display ; blit the facilities it affords for disposing of
productions in the slight material of water colours, which are
little better than a superior kind of p ape changing, may, we
think, be prejudicial to the career of many young artists.

With so few works of salient importance, our notice might
be a short one; wo shall, however, endeavour to inolude, if
only by mertdy mentioning them, a proportion of the productions
which, as we have said, evince capacity and promise. Among
the most pleasing items in the collection are the small portraits
by Mr. J. C. Moore, who in a quiet, unvulgar key of colouring,
and with refinement of treatment generally, very happily
realises the sweet ingenuous expression of childhood. “ Blanche
Egerton ” (224), a bright-eyed little lady in white, under a
Japanese parasol, is especially felicitous ; and little if at all
inferior are the portraits of Master Richard Cavendish
(348), and little Isabella Roget (333). A portrait-group
in the same genre, by Mr. Poynter, of Mr. F. Hugh Belt
seated with his little daughter posed between his knees
(84), seems to us scarcely worthy of the artist’s reputation.
Father and daughter are a little too self-conscious, aud the
draughtsmanship is rather questionable ; tho male hands have
a degree of anatomical detail seldom seen except as a consequence
of long manual labour. “Summer Noon” (304), a acoae in a
garden pleasaunce, and some landscape “bits” testify to the
artist’s versatile but very unequal power. A child-portrait group
(177) by W. B. Morris, carefully drawn and modelled, but
slightly wanting in ease and grace, may be mentioned in the
same category with the portraits of Messrs. Moore and Poynter.
Amoug fancy single-figure studies we have that of a girl in white
dress and black mittens, standing on a terrace (205), by Mr.
G. D. Leslie, which, though it lias the artist’s customary
sweetness of feeling, is even more than usually insufficient,
technically considered. “ A Young Greek Woman” (235),
by Miss. Edith Martin eau—well drawn and elevated in
style and character; “Adeline” ( 12 ), by Mr. W. Gale;

“ Rubinella 17 (34), by C. Bellay ; “ Yiolinriayer ” (303), by W.

J. Ivnewstub; “Baby Bunting” ( 102 ), by Miss Juliana
Russell; a head by Miss Helen Tliornycroft; “Under a
Cloud” (105) ; a child mourning over a dead goldfinch, by E.
Bale ; No. 231, representing, in the manner of Mr. Leslie, a
country girl returning from church, by Mr. A C. H. Lux-
moore; and contributions by J. Burr, H. Patterson, aud S.
Lucas arc other single-figure studies of merit.

The more elaborate figure-subjects are not numerous, aud
few of them, need detain us. One of the best is Mr. Heywood
IIarty’s “Field Labour in Upper Egypt "(60), in which we see
a fellah standing on logs that serve as a rude harrow, aud
that are dragged along by a camel. This drawing is thoroughly
studied and complete, like all this young artist’s works. Still
better in its WSV 1 R \!r Hiifilrmnn’a ilortm-nfiva nf

better in it 3 way is Mr. Buckman’s decorative treatment of
“Football” (269)—after tbe manner in which he rendered
some London street cries in the last Academy exhibition. The
tussle of the group of athletic young fellows who straggle over
the ball is capitally expressed, with excellent figure draughts¬
manship, and the whole composition is perfectly subordinated
to the requirements of fiat, mural decoration. Mr. Buckman
has struck out a.path that is much negleoted, if not new, in our
school,, and he is. already eminentty successful. A word of
praise is due to Miss Constance Pliillott’s graceful Peona returu-
^o through “the gloomy wood in wonderment” (144), from
Keats s “ Endyunon. ” V eiy. spirited and characteristic is Miss
Elizabeth Ihompsons drawing (151) of a Prussian escort
convoying a number of French Zouave prisoners of the war of
18^0 in a ferry-boat.

Messrs. Brewtnall, Parker, T. Green, and J. Macbeth have
adopted more or lees tho technical method of Mr F Walker

or granddaughters. In these drawings there is much delicacy

being tlie chairman of thc committee. The subscriptions
received amounted to £ 1000 , and the meeting was adjourned
till Monday next. At a meeting of thc Court of Common

NATIONAL SPORTS.

If the entries for the spring handicaps were, numerically, not par¬
ticularly satisfactory, no complaint can be made of the manner in
which the liandicappers have acquitted themselves in the dif¬
ficult task of adjusting the weights. This is particularly
noticeable in the Grand National Steeplechase, the City and
Suburban, and the Chester Cup, in the first of which only 24
owners have declared forfeit out of 93 ; in the second, 36 out
114; and in the last, 22 out of 79.

Taking the steeplechase first, we remark that Disturbance
properly Iieads the list with the steadying weight of 12 st. 9 lb.
No horse has ever won the Grand National with any weight
over 12 st. ; and, good animal as Disturbance is, he is hardly
likely to Bucceed where The Lamb and L’Africaine both failed.
He, however, ought to beat most of the heavy weights, though
we doubt his ability to concede 13 lb. to his stable companion,
Furley, who, if piloted by Mr. Richardson, will very nearly carry
off a tecond National for the powerful stable with which that
gentleman is identified. Defence, we think, has a false reputa¬
tion, and has been hardly treated ; but Eurotas has tairly
earned his weight; and, if he were not a no vice over the Liver¬
pool country, would look very like the winnor at 11 Bt. 81b.
Lower down we notice Casse Tete (11 st.), Footman (11 st.), St.
Aubyn (lOst. 12 lb.), and Fantdrue (lOst.10 lb.); all exceptionally
w ell treated — on paper. Footman, how f ever, had such a severe
fall in last year’s chase that his courago may be somewhat
impaired. If ho comes to the post souna in wind, limb3, and
nerves, there is no horse in the handicap which can beat him at
the weights. This is a great “if,” however, after such an
acciilent. Of St. Aubyn we have formed a very high opinion.
No horse ever learned his business so quickly, considering that
he had no natural aptitude for jumping, anti was at first
regarded as an almost hopeless pupil. He has very fair speed
and excellent stamina, and, with luck, is sure to develop into a
first- class steeplechaser. Over the Liverpool country he is,
however, like Eurotas, a novice, and at present is hardly likely
to beat Casse Tete, -who is a much better animal than his
Croydon opponent Silvermere, and lias already once fouud her
way to the winning-post. When this mare was defeated
last year it was through, no fault of her own, as her
bridle broke at the second fence, and of course it was useless
to persevere with her further. Of Mr. Yates’s powerful team.
which includes Harvester, Oramoisie, Palmerston, and Clifton,
it is not easy to guess w hich will prove the best, as all the four
are so favourably handicapped. Harvester, W’lio was a com¬
petitor w hen Casse TGte won in 1872, is, we believe, somcw r hat
unsound; and the others, like Eurotas and St. Aubyn, are
strangers to Liverpool; so, as the Aintree track is quite un¬
like any other steeplechase course in England, the champion of
the e table may, after all, not prove a very dangerous opponent.
Among the lightly-weighted horses, we think best of the
chances of Columbine (10 st. 6 lb.) and Master Mowbray
(10 st. 51b.), who ran third and fourth last year. On the
whole, however, unless there is some unknown Salamander in
the background, the heavily-weighted horses seem to have the
best of the handicap.

For the first time in its history the City and Suburban will
Lave to play second fiddle to the Lincolnshire Handicap, for a
large number of horses are engaged in both races and, as the
handsome sum of £1000 iB added to the earlier handicap,
owners will naturally be induced to give it a preference. At
the same time, as we said before, the weights for the Epsom
r:ce ni-e admirably adjusted, and, where so many horses seam
to have a chance of victory, w r e may be fpretty certain of an
interesting contest.

Ah usual, the numerically strongest lot is that of Alec
Taylor, who has complimented the Admiral by accepting with
no less than eight horses. As we are not a “ racing prophet ”
w e must decline to turn our brains thus early in the year by
tiyirg to discover “ Taylor’s best.” Suffice it to say, that this
tiaii.cr annually presents us with a very “ hot favourite ”—as
the phrase is — for the City and Suburban, but never wins the
race. But for this we should think that Royal George, wdfcli
cnly 7 st. on his back, had a very taking appearance. The two
Gouters betw een them are represented by nine horses; and,
seeing that Walnut is handicapped at 7 st. 121b., Fontarabian
at 7 fit. 9 lb. , Lemnos (possibly the best horse of liis year) at
7 fit. 41b., and Hesseldeu at 6sfc. 101b., they cannot complain
of the manner in which they have been treated. Walnut will
probably be the public favourite, but our choice would be
Fontarabian, wlio last year at Brighton, over the six-furlong
coruse, gave Trombone 91b. and beat him pretty easily. Now
Trombone, at any distance under a mile, is very smart indeed,
so tlat, in handicapping his conqueror at 7st. 9 lb., it is pos¬
sible that the Admiral has somewhat underrated his merits.
Jennings has a team of four, and might w*in the race with
Foie II. (fix years, 8st. 51b.), who, however, has hitherto
shown to advantage only over a distance of ground. C'remorue,
who made such a gallant fight last year with 9st. 21b., is, w'e
fear, now lions de combat; and Wenlock, with a heavier weight,
will hardly prove an efficient substitute, especially as he lias
been in retirement ever since he w on the Leger in 1872. Of
Matthew Dawson’s lot Andred (8st. Gib.) will, no doubt, prove
the beat. He will run, however, at Lincoln, so that we shall
know beforehand what sort of qualification he has for Epsom
honours. Without wading through the other entries seriatim,
we may conclude our remarks on the City and Suburban bj T
observing that Pacha and Bull’s Eye are fairly weighted at
7 st. 41b., and the Infanta colt and Lucy Sutton at 7afc. 21b. ;
that Spectator and fair Agnes wrill probably prove the best of
the three-year-olds ; that Little Agnes, as Blie has been lot off
with the ridiculous impost of 7st., is no doubt known to be
radically unsound ; and last, but not least, that Mr. Hodgmans
champion, in spite of his change of diocese — we mean training
quarters— will still ate adily decline preferment, and remain all
his life a “Perpetual Curate.”

Admiral Rous has addressed a long letter to the Times on
“Turf ProBpects.” We entirely agree with him in thinking
that the outcry against two-year-old racing is raised by people
who have no practical acquaintance with the subject. The
excellence of the modem thoroughbred depends entirely—as the
Admiral puts it — upon his “ early education ; ” and that the
moderate racing of juveniles is not harmful is proved by the
fact that the Derby winner is almost always a horse who has
carried off one or more of the prizes of the previous season. We
are not, however, quite sure that the Jockey Club did right in
allowing the youngsters to commence their career so early as
Match 22. The 1st of May was general^ accepted as a fair
compromise, and the Admiral’s strong language in defence of
the i eturri to the eailier date amuses but does not convince iri.
Be objects, very properly, to the interference of Parliament iu
the aflaiis of the turf ; but if it is once understood that tha
inti usted opinions of owners and clerks of courses are to have
paramount sway in the councils of the club, he aDd liis friends
may unw ittingly necessitate the very legislation they wish to
avoid.

The University crews are hard at work training for the great
race <.; the 28th proximo, and at Cambridge especially they are
particularly forward.

MAKING VALENTINES.

The saint’s day that is sacred to honest sweethearting happens
to fall on this present Saturday. For this reason our publica¬
tion may w'ell include some Illustrations of the processes by
which those pretty missive gifts and letters are made, com¬
monly sent upon this occasion to and from the young people
who love each other in a pleasant and innocent way. Wo are
much gratified to learn that this delightful trade, as well as
that in Christmas and New Year’s Day tokens of a like kind,
has latterly increased among us. It helps to keep up gooff
humour in the family. It prompta the children to remember
absent friends, and proves to them how* friends and kindred
may use the post-office to remind one another of their mutual
claims to affection. Good taste may be early formed in the
choice of such ornamental devices as present a harmony of
forms and colours ; and this point should be attended to in the
nursery at a very tender age. An infant of three years should
have no ugly playthings. The love of the beautiful and grac •>
fnl, as well as the practice of courtesy — and even of due gal¬
lantry between the smallest boys and girls—may be encourage ff
by their interchange of valentines. We do not want to say
more. It is a subject not beneath the regard of the social legis¬
lator who cares for manners and minor morals.

Without further preamble, we shall now givo the reader
some information lately gathered concerning tills branch of
fancy manufacture, as carried on by Mr. Eugene Rimniel, of
the Strand. That eminent perfumer, it is well known,
fabricates, sells, and exports an immense variety of such
dainty w r ares, catering not only for the pleasures of scent, but
also for those of the eye. He is constantly inventing new com¬
binations of decorative materials, and fresh devices for their
most agreeable and significant presentation. One material, in¬
deed, which seems an essential part of the great majority of St.
Valentine’s Day gifts, is supplied to Mr Rimmel’s hand by the
fancy stationer. We have therefore visited also the establish¬
ment of Mr. George Meek, in Crane-court, Fleet-street, to
look at the processes of gilding or silvering, cutting out, per¬
forating, embossing, and otherwise treating paper, in imitation
of lace-work or emoroidery. These operations, with a scene in
one of Mr. ltimmcl’a work-room 3 , are represented by our
Illustrations.

But it would not bo fair to omit all mention of the import¬
ant work done by other houses of the highest repute in thoir
different branches of artistic industry. Without the aid of the
designer or draughtsman, the lithographer, the wood-engraver,
the painter or the colour-printer, tho cardboard maker, the
artificial-fiower maker, tho workers in silk, feathers, glass,
filigree, and lacquer, besides many others of diverse skill, we
could not have these charming toys of the lovers’ vernal
festival. They aTe only arranged, composed, and put together
and made delicious with fragrance by Mr. Rimmel. The pro¬
ductions of Messrs. Marcus Ward and Co., of Chandos-streefc,
who are decorators or illuminators, engravers, colour-printers,
and lithographers, also manufacturers of russia and morocco
leather, as well as literary publishers recently of some impor¬
tance. equally deserve mention. They are not so complex, in¬
deed, as those which are fabricated of various materials and
intended for various appliances. They consist mainly of pic¬
torial and ornamental designs on paper, with suitable verses or
mottoes ; but their artistic beauty commands admiration ; the
pictures and the poesy are really good; and we take this
opportunity to give them a passing notice.

The processes for the ornamentation of paper at Mr. Meok'a
establishment are first to be described. Most persons are,
perhaps, aware that the gilding or silvering is done by pre¬
viously putting moist varnish on the paper, and then laying gold-
leaf or silver-leaf upon it, or else covering it with metallic
powder. This naturally sticks to the parts which are touched
with the adhesive varnish; and if that was put on, like printer’s
ink, by a machine supplied with a form of types or an engraved
bas-relief, the letter-printing, pattern, or picture will appear in
gold or silver, when the other parts of the metal-leaf are re¬
moved. They are simply rubbed off by hand, with a woollen
or soft linen rag. Our first three Illustrations show tho laying
on of the gold or silver leaf, in pieces about four inches square;
the impressing it on the moist paper, by the use of a small hand-
press ; and the wiping off of the waste fragments of this
shining tissue. In the next Illustration, at the upper right-
hand corner of the page, we see the cutting out of patterns iu
the paper by forcing it, with the pressure of a screw, upon a
sbaip-edged die beneath. Apiece of zinc is interposed between
the paper and the press. At the bottom of the page, in the
middle, is a ponderous machine, called a “tympan,” which
reminds us of a steam-hammer ; but the power that works it,
instead of steam, is only the momentum or a huge iron wheel,
having a weight of two or three tons, horizontally suspended.
As the axle of this wheel rises or descends in a screw,
its backward revolution, after having been wound up and
raised a little, presently brings down the liammer with enor¬
mous force upon a kind of anvil solidly constructed below.
This machine is used for embossing tho paper, whether gilt or
silvered, or plain, or cut in a pattern. Alter tho embossing
comes the process of lacing. The die, which is made of hard
steel, has the paper yet sticking to its surface. It is placed on
a bench, where a man with a file wrapped in sand-paper rubs
away upon it, till every particle of paper raised on the pro¬
tuberant points of the die is removed, tearing a number of little
holes, and the remaining parts, sunk in the engraved hollow
.spaces of the die, form a perfect imitation of lace work. Several
young w omen or girls are employed, lastly, in trimming and
folding this ornamental paper, which is niuoh in request for
various occasions, as well as for valentine letters.

The larger Engraving in the centre of our page displays a
scene in one of Mr. Rimmel’a busy and pleasant work-rooms.
But these are very extensive, and from eighty to a hundred
and fifty industrious females—the numbers varying with the
season— may be found here engaged in most congenial work.
It is an agreeable sight to watch their skilful fingers, and to
notice how they enjoy the exercise of that natural taste for the
pretty, the neat, and tho convenient, which belongs to their
clever sex. A more cheerful place and scene of labour can
now here be visited ; and the variety of nice little contrivances
giving free play to an ingenious fancy is exceedingly amusing to
the observer. This work, one would think, must have some
resemblance to millineiy—especially to the trimming of ladies’
caps and bonnets—in respect of the faculties of mind, as well
as of eye and hand, which it calls into activity ; and wo hold
that millinery, with other departments of confectionery (to use
that word in the French sense) is part of tho vocation of woman.
Mr. Rimmel directs all this company of fair artisans in their
manifold tasks, and constantly devises novel artistic combina¬
tions, pleasing effects of grouping or colour, the unforeseen
addition of strange and quaint materials, whimsical surprises,
and practical jests, or useful adaptations of things really ser¬
viceable in the concoction of his different valentines. This last-
mentioned quality, which he calls the utile dulei , may recom¬
mend some of liis wares to persons of a practical turn. A
needful article of the toilet, or of a lady’s or gentleman’s dress,
such as a hair-pin, a breast-pin, a ring, a bow of silk ribbon, a

necktie, a fan, a brooch, a locket, a scent-bottle, or even a
garter (hoiii soil qni mal y pense), is cleverly introduced amidst
the paper lace and filigree, the artific : al flowers and real mara¬
bout feathers, the little painted cupids and cherubs, or loving
human couples, that fill a shallow pasteboard box. Sometimes
tLere is a scenic arrangement to show a verdant grove or flowery
garden, with a flight of birds; or a lake of mirror-glass, with
a swan upon its lucid surface ; or a musical box, hidden beneath
the decorative pieces, is suddenly heard in a sweet familiar
tune. A lady’s work-box, glove-box, jewel-box, or toilet-case,
a cigar-case for a young man, a packet of bon-boua fora child,
may lie concealed in the satin couch of a “ practical valentine,”
surrounded w*ith gold lace or floral garlands. There arc such
gifts to he purchased at different prices, from five shillings up
to five guineas ; and most persons are inclined, once or twice in
their lives, to spend their money in a fond sentimental tribute,
w’hich may take this shape as well ns any other. What
Mr. Rimmel undertakes is to provide the article for a lover
or friend to give. That it may lie the more worthy of
gracious acceptance, he racks his brain for de rices, and ransacks
the stores of every manufacture, the vegetable, mineral, and
animal kingdoms of nature, the farthest countries, from Peru
to Japan, the woi kshops of Bohemia, Genoa, and Pestli, for a
diversity of materials. It takes a great deal of trouble to compose
these mere trifles. One of the really beautiful things he lias
lately imported is the work of nuns in a Brazilian convent,
who are accustomed to make artificial liowers entirely of tho
feathers of the gorgeous birds that haunt the South American
forests. “ It is Nature imitating Nature,” says Mr. Rimmel;
and it is true that no artificial colours would so vividly repre¬
sent Die hues of living growth.

The above description of the manufacture of valentines will
apply, in some measure, to that of similar pretty “confec¬
tions ” for the gifts of Christmas and New-Year’s Day, and for
the contents ol “ Easter eggs.” All this kind of business has
of late years taken great extension among us, and we desire to
see it turned to good account in educating the taste and en¬
couraging the wholesome play of fancy. It would be an excel¬
lent pastime for young people to design and fabricate their own
valentine or other gifts, buying the materials at the proper
shops in town. In the mean time, those who are less indus¬
trious can purchase a variety of such things ready made, and
w e have told them son:ewhat of tho making.

WILLS AND BEQUESTS.

The w*ill, dated July 4; 1871, with eight codicils, of the Right
Hon. Cadwrallader, ‘ Lord Blayney, late of Castle Blayney, in
the county of Moiingliau, who died on Jan. 18 last, at St.
James's Hotel, Piccadilly, was proved on the 3rd insfc. by
Thomas Bates, the Hon. Walter Philip Alexander, Richard
Key, and John Davis Garde, tho executors, the personal estate
being sworn £25,000. Among many other legacies, the testator
bequeaths £1000 to the poor of Castle Blayney; £50 to the
poor of St. James’s, Piccadilly ; nineteen guineas to the poor of
Willesden; £5000 to purchase land, if practicable, within h al f a
mile of the market house, Castle Blayney, and to erect alms¬
houses thereon for twenty persons to bo elected without refer¬
ence to creed, and £15,000 to form an endowment fund for the
same; £2000 to the sustentation fund of tho Irish Church ;
£10,000 to be derided between tho Molyneux Asylum, Dunne’s
Hospital, the Protestant Orphan Society, the Agricultural
Society, and Queen’s College, all at Dublin ; and £200 each to
tlic Oliaring-moss Hospital and St. George’s Hospital, Hyde
Park-comcr. The residuary legatees are the Countess of
Caledon, Thomas Bates, the Hon. Walter Philip Alexander,
Arthur Shannon Crawford, testator’s sister, the Hon. Mrs.
Charles Gordon, and his niece, Mrs. Holland. A correspondent
suggests the possibility of there being an inheritor of the barony
of Blayney, from the fact that the Hon. Sir Arthur
Blayney, second son of the first peer, left three sons, Edward,
Henry, anil Arthur, and that of these sons, Arthur, living at
the commencement of the eighteenth century, married twice,
and Lad three sous by liis first wife and six Children by his
second. »Sir Henry Hope Edwardes, Bart., and Mr. Thomas
Batts, of Heddon Banks, Northumberland, are the present
representatives of the second son of tho Hon. Sir Arthur
Bkvney, being descended from two of his daughters. Wc may,
however, state that if no claim be actually mado within a
twelvemonth tho barony of Blayney may be legally used as one
of the extinctions required for the creation of an Irish poor.

I The will and two codicils, dated respectively Oct. 14 and
Nov. 8 and 25, 1873, of John Cowans, late of Hartlands,
near Cranford, who died on Dee. 5 last, were proved on the
19th ult. by Thomas Wright, Jeannie Cowan Cowans, the
relict, and Richard Rapier, the acting oxecutors, the personal
estate being sworn under £70,000. The testator leaves to his
widow a legacy of £200 and his furniture absolutely, his
residence, and an annuity of £1000 for life ; at her death the
mansion house and premises known as Hartlands are devised
to his eldest son ; and tho residue of liis personalty is given to
all his children in equal shares.

| The will, dated April 16, 1872, with two codicils, both dated
June- 21, 1873, of Major William Gabbett Beare, late of No. 34,
Devonshiic-place, Maryleboue, who died on the 17th ult, was
proved on the 5th inst. by Arthur Dovoton Clarke, Robert
It nth ven Pym, and Francis Douglas Boggis-Rolfe, the exe¬
cutors, the personalty being sworn under £60,000. Tho
persons benefited by the w T ill and codicils are the members of
testator’s family.

Tbejwill, dated Jan. 3 last, of George David Nestle, late
of Commercial-street, was proved on the 2 nd inst. by Nicholas
Sr.inucl Edward Steinberg, Jules Roudret, and James Edmund
Huntsman, the executors, the personal estate being sw r orn
under £60,000. Tlie testator bequeaths to the German Hos¬
pital at Ralston and the Commercial Travellers’ School £250
each ; and there are some other legacies. The residue of his
property he gives to his son and daughter, William David
Nestle and Ida Matilda Nestle.

The will, with seven codicils, of John Bawtree, late of
Abherton, Essex, was proved on the 2nd insfc. by John
Baw tree, Francis Bawtree, and Edward William Bawtree, the
sons, and James Inglis, the executors, the personalty being
sworn under £45,000. The testator gives to the Eastern
Counties Asylum for Idiots and Imbeciles, Essex Hall,
Colchester, £100, to be applied for the benefit of the life case
fund of such institution, and 50 gs. to the Essex and Colchester
Hospital, both free of legacy duty.

The will of Robert Oir, late of Bedford Park. Croydon, was
proved on tho 3rd inst. by the executors, Mrs. Margaret Orr,
the relict. Admiral Arthur Mellerali, C.B., Miles Belfield
Filby. and John Henry, tlie personalty boing sworn under
£75,000. After legacies of £50 each to the executors, £200 to
the w idow, and an annuity of £200 to his niece, Mrs. Mary Orr
Can Hi, the testator bequeaths a life interest in the residue of
his estate to his widow, and after her death the same is divisible

11 THE VALENTINE.”

St. Valentine, whose festival occurs to-day
(Saturday), is a saint who, like the Conserva¬
tives, though he has long been in the shade,
is glowing rapidly in popular favour. We do
not know whether or not it be a device or
the Romanist or Ritualist party to favour the
introduction of confession (if so, pace
Whalley, the device would seen innocent enough
in itself); but certain it is that the practice ol
confessing love or jealousy, pique or hate, on
St. Valentine’s Day through certain thin veil3
or partitions of anonymity is yearly becoming
more general. And the practice is not confined
to silly love-sick boys and girls; for pater and
mater families, whose own wooing has bsealing
since over, now send “valentines ” to their
little ones, and vice-vers&. Yearly the sta¬
tioners’ shop windows bloom out at tills early
spring season, this pairing-time of the hints, iu
more wonderfully profuse displays of painted
Mowers, of wedding favours of silver and lac o
and orange-blossoms, Cupid s and Hymen s
hearts and darts, illuminated honeyed verses,
and all sorts of more or less fanciful devices
and surprises, to say nothing of spiteful carica¬
tures and stupid burlesque doggerel- Yearly
the postman has a more gigantic task to
deliver all such missives, bulky as many of
them are, on the sacred day. r lhe making of
the valentines is now, wo understand, a quite
distinct and flourishing branch of trade—should
wc not rather* say of art-manufacture or ap¬
plied art ? Other speculative traders iu light
articles besides the stationers—such as per¬
fumers, jewellers, and what not—have entered
the field ; and we arc threatened with taxes as
onerous on St. Valentine’s Day as to the French
are the dtrennes of the jour dc. Van. is Cupid
getting more mercenary, and so now prefers
sul'stance to shadow? We hear, at all events,
of “valentines” in the shape of packets of
scents, bonbons, trinkets, ornaments for hair
and bonnet and hat, even gentlemen’s necktie3,
initialed handkerchiefs, worked slippers, and
smoking-caps. We look with dismay on this
innovation; and we counsel all concerned tv
return to the simple sentimental practice.* of
former days. The young gentleman who sat for
the picture we have engraved was evidently of
our w r ay of thinking. He has not bought his
valentine ready to hand; he is honestly com¬
mitting himself to an effusion which, if not
original, is autographic. He has not certainly

f ood looks in liis favour; still he may, by-and-
y, be a successful suitor with such straight¬
forward procedure as he practises as a boy.
There is a sly twinkle in his eye which we
ascribe to a secret consciousness of his own
poetical and caligraphic ingenuity, not to any
mischievous intention. Need we say, iu con¬
clusion, that the original drawing has all
William Hunt’s characteristic hnuijiir intli-J
representation of rustic boys.

rFHE ALEXANDRE NEW SEVEN-

-1 GUI NBA ORGAN HARMONIUM. Solid Oak Oaee, Five
Octaves, and Two Footboards.

The ever-increasing musical culture in all clas s es of society has
created a demand for free reed Instruments of a superior quality to
those hitherto manufactured.

The Instruments uow offered to the public will be found divested
of all that has hitherto been considered objectionable os regards
tone. This end has been obtained by using a larger and thicker
tongue, and a new system of voicing, which render the quality rich
and organ-like.

Another advantage In the new system Is the increased strength of
tbo reeds, and diminished liability to go out of tune by forcing the
bellowx w

The new system Is applied to all the large Instruments with still
greater effect, and without extra cost

SKETCHES IN MOSCOW.

The visit of thoir Royal Highnesses the newly-married Duke
and Duchess of Edinburgh to the ancient historic capital ot
Kvr Iiof ntifriiRfe rva rents. the Emperor and

Uzarcvua, ana tne Imperial wwu --- "

Germany, is an interesting sequel to the recent wedding cere-
mony at St. Petersburg, which was illustrated last week by
our Special Artist. Their Imperial Majesties and Imperial and
Royal Highnesses arrived jit Moscow on Thursday; week, about
midnight, by theraUway from St. Petersburg. U ogiyesomolllus-
1 rations of the Kremlin, which is the palace precinct of Moscow,
in the centre of the city ; but it has been fuUy descnlied on some
former occasions. It is surrounded by walls from 30 ft. to oU ft.
high, and 12 ft. or 16 ft. thick, with battlements and em¬
brasures, many towers, and live principal gates. Within this
inclosurc are the restored old palace of the Czars and the new
palace, rebuilt after the burning of Moscow in IS 12, when the
Russians set lire to their noble old city because Isapoleon had
captured it. The cathedral church of the Assumption, that of the
Annunciation, that of St. Michael, andthatof the I raustigu ration,
are worthy of note, as well as the Ivanovskaya belfry, the Im¬
perial Museum, the Palace of the Patriarch, tho Chadof
monastery, aud tho Vosnesenskoi nunnery, with its tombs and
relics of the Imperial family. The sepulchres .of most of the
Czars, to the death of Peter the Great, are m St Michaels
Cathedral. It is probable that Moscow was founded m the
twelfth century. Its population is* now about 3oO,(KK), com¬
prising the Kremlin, tho Kitai Goroil, or trading and shop-
keeping quarter, tho Bcloi Gorod, or white town, containing
the official mansions and residences of the nobilitv and the
Zemlianoi, which lies outside, with suburbs beyond tlio last-
mentioned quarter. Tho inland commerce of Russia is chielly
centred at Moscow. It is a city of picturesque and striking
aspect, with its numberless towers aud cupolas, its gilded
bulbs, crescents, and crosses above the roofs, aud the gr^en
colour of buildings, as they are painted.

In the most ancient part of the Kremlin is an old sacristy,
in which is kept a very old vase. It is of copper, silvered over,
aud ornamented with mother-of-pearl. It is believed to con¬
tain a portion of tho “costly pound of ointment which was
used by Mary Magdalene. The tradition is that it came
from Byzantium, in tho very early days of the Church.
Every Lent a solemn ceremony is gone through by the
Metropolitan of Moscow, assisted by his principal clergy. This
is the preparation of the oil for baptismal unction, which is one
of the important parts of the Russian-Greek rite of baptism.
The finest oils arc put into two boilers in the sacristy ; white
wine, gums, balsams, and spices are added, and a drop or two
of the precious ointment is taken from the ancient vase and
added to the whole. After being thoroughly incorporated a
drop of the chrism is put back, and thus it becomes the source
of an endless supply. This chrism is used at the coronation of
tho Emperor, at the consecration of all churches, aud at the
baptism of every orthodox Russian. Every drop used is sup¬
posed to have a portion, however minute, of the “ costly pound
of ointment. ”

THE MAGAZINES FOE FEBEUAEY.

The Contemporary Review challenges principal attention among
tho periodicals of the month by the Premier’s translation of
Homer’s “Shield of Achilles.” We legret that a performance
bo honourable to Mr. Gladstone’s love of letters should be more
commendable on this account than from its intrinsic merit. The
metre—a trochaic ballad measure, which might have been well
adapted to scenes of hurry and bustle—appears to us very un¬
suitable to a piece of description; and the defect is not
redeemed by any conspicuous excellence of style. The render¬
ing is tamely accurate throughout, with many lapses in dignity

....j insight-

excellent observations, excellently expressed. Another member
of the Government—Mr. Grant-Duff—appears as a contributor,
with a sketch of his recent Egyptian tour, originally a popular
lecture to his constituents, and which need hardly have aspired
to a wider publicity. The continuation of Air. St. George
Mivarfc’s essay on Contemporary (theological) Evolution is but
rambling ; aud Mr. R. H. Horne makes his publication of Airs.
Browning’s letters to him (of which this month he prints one) a
mere vehicle for his own views about rhymes in general, and
his correspondent’s rhymes in particular. There is better, if
tougher, matter in the Hon. Roden Noel’s profound meta
physical paper ; in the Rev. J. Hunt’s plea for dogmatic laxity,
against the legal stringency of a daily contemporary; aud in
Dean Stanley’s free-anu-easy way of settling disputes about the
rubrics. Dr. Holland’s objections to Sir ±1. Thompsons pro¬
posal for the incremation of the dead apparently resolve them¬
selves into the question of taste.

The Cornhxll is not remarkable this month ; its chief claim
to approval 13 the completion of the disagreeable story of
“ Young Brown.” “Far from tho Madding Crowd” evinces
much knowledge of English peasant life ; but tho talk of the
alow rustics is itself very slow, and tho constant imitation of
George Eliot is fatiguing. The critique on Airs. Gaskell is
sound, but not brilliant; and the “ French Press,” “ Alissives
iu Masquerade / 1 and “Cruelty to Animals” do not aspire
beyond the rank of respectable “padding.”

Macmillan's new Irish story, “Castle Daly,” has the disad¬
vantage of being laid thirty years back, and accordingly belong¬
ing to°a class of fiction already largely represented. It pro¬
mises, however, to be racy of the soil. The letters of Mendel¬
ssohn published in this number are, for once, less interesting
than Dr. Ferdinand Hiller’s accompanying text. The present
instalment of the letters on Spain treats of the religious con¬
dition of the country. Air. Alattliow Arnold s address to the
elementary teachers at Westminster (already somewhat fully
reported in the newspapers) treats chiefly of our educational
condition as compared with America, and of the religious
difficulty. A paper on the late Sir George Rose is chiefly
tie voted to a record of his good sayings, some of which have
nn inimitable professional flavour. “ W hen,” for example, “ a
singularly mat tcr-of-fact gentleman had related a story in
which the listeners had failed to detect tho slightest spark of
humour, Sir George t-ccountcd for the circumstance at once.
“ Don’t you see ? ” he said. “ Tie has tried a joke? but reserved
the point.''

“Disorder in Dreamland,” in Blachcood , is one of those
peculiar and characteristic stories with which this magazine is
wont to favour us, rather a curiosity than a great performance,
but exceedingly weU worth reading, and quite out of the
common track. Tho number of short articles suggests that Mr.
Gladstone’s unexpected move has had the effect of suppressing
the usual political harangue, which has given place to a
hurried postscript. Two papers among the medley, however,
are remarkably interesting—“ The Two Spcrausky, recording
the career of a Russian statesman alternately exiled to Liberia

an<l appointed to tho government of the country; imd an
account of the education now being imparted to the young
Prince of Mysore, to tit him for the throne he is one day to
occupy under British protection.

Air. Richard Jefferies, who is making a name as an au¬
thority upon agricultural subjects, contributes a remarkable
paper to Fraser , entitled “John Smith’s Shanty,” embracing a
picture of the miserable existence of the agricultural labourer
where no improvement has taken place in his condition, but at
the same time an encouraging accoiuit of the operation of the
tendencies now at work to raise him in the social scale. Air.
Jefferies does not anticipate that the immediate effect of the
recent agitation for an advance of wages will be considerable. A
paper on Petronius Arbiter is also an excellent contribution,
the work of one endowed with the faculty of looking below the
surface. Air. Edmund Gosso conveys much valuable informa¬
tion on Norway in a very pleasing style. General Cluseret s
information respecting the origin of the present ecclesiastical
conflict iu Switzerland may be essential to a full understanding
of the matter, but refers too much to bygone transactions to
be interesting, even if we could thoroughly trust the informant.

* ‘ Christian Brothers and Their Lesson-Books ” is an exposure
of the disloyal character of the instruction given in the schools
chiefly patronised by the Roman Catholic priesthood. “Alo-
dem Comedy ” is an attack upon the pieces of Mr. Gilbert and
the late Mr. Robertson. “From Cobourg to St. Malo ” and
“ A Christmas in India ” are lively descriptive papers.

The Fortnightly, solid in matter, is solid also in its claims to
attention. The most important article is that by Mr. Fawcett
on the prospects of co-operation, to which he looks with more
confidence than any other economic agency as a means of
social amelioration. Air. Cliffe Leslie’s paper on the incidence
of taxation on the working classes appears at a propitious
juncture. If Air. Gladstone is guided by Mr. Leslie’s sugges¬
tions, the principal incidence of taxation will henceforth be
upon real estate. Mazz'ini’s posthumous notice of Renan s
work on the moral decadence of France is interesting as the
writer’s last production, but contains no novel ideaB. It is
principally an impeachment of the modern French school of
history, from the point of view of an exalted morality. Be Hi’a
satirical sonnets in the patois of the Roman people, described
and partly translated by Air. H. Sotheby, are a most unique
embodiment of the humour of an intelligent though uneducated
populace. The impossibility of an adequate rendering is no
fault of the translator. Mr. F. Harrison’s imitation of the
political surveys in the Rtvue des Deux Maudes can hardly be
considered felicitous. Tho charm of these elegant compositions
consists in their suavity and apparent impartiality, traits above
all others remote from Air. Harrison’s uncompromising sternness
of conviction.

“The Sherlocks,” Air. John Saunders’s story in Saint
Pauls , is so far a characteristic instance of his homely power
and simple fidelity to nature. A paper on Mr. Fitzjames
Stephen and his brother, by Henry Holbcach, affords vigorous
expression to truths rather intuitively apprehended than
logically reasoned out by the writer. There is nothing else
remarkable in the magazine ; nor in Belgravia , though the
latter is lively thoughout.

Two numbers of Scribner's Monthly claim our attention.
The January one is the best it has ever published, containing,
among other valuable matter, the completion of Mr. Froude’s
history of the Abbey of St. Alban’s, an excellent original
novelette by Bret Harte, an interesting sketch of the American
Senate, aud a beautifully illustrated description of Texas. The
sequel of this paper is the most attractive part of the February
number.

The most important articles in the Transatlantic are a his¬
tory of the recent panic in Wall-street, from “ Old and New,”
and the conclusion of Mr. Welles's vindication of President
Lincoln, from which we learn that the President’s wise and
magnanimous step after the second battle of Bull Run, in
overlooking General AlacClellan’s notorious misconduct, and
appointing him to the command of the army as the only man
equal to the situation, originated entirely with himself, and
was contrary to the opinion of his Cabinet.

Mr. Francillon’s Olympia, in the Gentleman's Magazine , pro¬
mises to be one of his happiest creations. The character of
the gifted, sensitive, original child is powerfully conceived, and
the writing is brilliant. Air. Oowden Clarke’s recollections of
Keats have for the most part been already given to the world,
but there is still sufficient flavouring of novelty to render them
very acceptable. It is interesting, for instance, to learn that the
splendid line in the sonnet on Chapman’s Homer “ Yet did I
never breathe its pure serene,” originally existed in the far
inferior shape, “Yet could I never tell what men could mean.”
Dr. Kenealy is not without substantial claims as a poet, but
these are much exaggerated by his critic, Dr. Leary.

The Month contains several papers evincing learning and
research; but nothing of much general interest except an
account, biassed in fact, though fair in intention, of the
revolution which initiated the third French Republic.

The feature of Ttmple Bar is the commencement of
“Patricia Kemball,” a new serial fiction by Airs. Linton,
which certainly makes an excellent debut. Patricia is the
niece of an old sea captain on the Cornish coast; her sweet
and natural character captivates the reader from the first. Her
uncle is vigorously drawn ; and the wild coast scenery, with
the incidents of a perilous cruise along it, are depicted with
graphic power. There is nothing else of special note in the
number except a very good article on Chateaubriand.

Tho most important contribution to Tinsley is Air. Justin
APCarthy’s “ Linley Roehford,” which promises to be an excel¬
lent novel of its class. “ My Greatest Fright ” is an amusing
burlesque tale. In the Argosy we have to note “Johnny
Ludlow's” characteristic “ Pitchley’s Farm,” and the very
graphic description of a night passed in the monastery of the
Grand Chartreuse.

London Society commences a scries of semi-poetical pictures
of fascinating women, by Air. Arthur O’Sliaughnessj 7 , entitled
“ Portraits Charmants.” The elegance of the first instalment,
“Alice,” is remarkable “ Modern Aly stories ” is an account
of some recent seances, corresponding to those described by
Lord Amberley, but from an opposite point of view* to that
adopted by his Lordship

We have also to acknowledge the St. James’s Magazine,
Once a Week, the Alontbly Packet, the New Monthly, the Irish
Alonthly, the Victoria Alagazine, Good Words, Good Things
the Sunday Magazine, and Cassell’s Magazine. b *

The most entertaining article in the Quarterly is a charming
sketch of the life of Winckelmann, the most interesting a
review of ALU’s autobiography—prejudiced in some respects,
we must consider, but fair in intention, and evincing much
loftiness of feeling. The notice of Prosper Merimde’s letters is
the work of one well qualified by his social knowledge to revise
the Frenchman s impressions and anecdotes, especially of English

society “ Sacerdotalism ” affords the theme of an acrimonious
attack'on the Ritualistic party .especially as_ regards tho
practice of confession. “ Russian Songs and Folk Tales , 8 a
very pleasant paper. The article on Mrs Somerville is very
po 7v and that on “ The Difficulties of the Liberal Party” i*
extinguished by the general election.

MUSIC.

The chief event occurring sinco our last week s record waa the
commencement of a new scries of M. Gounod s concerts at St.
James’s Hall. The inaugural performance, on Saturday even¬
ing brought forward his music composed for M. Jules Barbier's
drama, “Jeanne d’Arc,” which was produced with great sue-
cess at the Pans Gaiete Theatre last autumn. The pieces, twelve
in number were given on Saturday for the first time m
England, conducted by the composer. An orchestral prelude,
of charmingly pastoral character, with many obbligati passages
for oboe solo, leads to a “chorus of fugitives,’ the vocal
phrases of which are somewhat too deliberate in style for the
due expression of terror aud flight. Then follows the music of
the Vision, in which a celestial chorus is heard, inteijp^j
with solo passages for St. Catherine and St. Magars^
encouraging Jeanne in her heroic mission. A bright ckonn ol
ladies (in the scene of Agues Sorel’s court) and a piquant ballad
for the Page lead to a very effective minuet in the true antique
style. A bold and spirited patriotic chorus, “ Dieu le veut,”
closes the second act; and an equally characteristic chorus of
French soldiers opens the third act, aud is followed by some
lively dance music. This scene of camp revelry is strongly con¬
trasted by tho choral prayer sung before tho battle, which ends
the act. A very* graceful dialogued chorus for female voices
(sung in tribute to Jeanne) is succeeded by a jubilant coronation
inarch and chorus, which form a triumphal close to the
scene. The last act opens with Jeanne d’Arc asleep in the prisou.
Soldiers are heard carousing, and their choral revelry is inter¬
spersed with the voices of the two saints encouraging the con¬
demned heroine. There are some capital effects of contrast
here, which, however (as in many other cases), depend largely
on the stage situation. A sombre funeral march and a closing
chorus of angels, with a recurrence of some of the music of the
first finale, end tho work, throughout which the well-known
grace and power of AI.Gounod’s style and liis skill in orchestral
writing are successfully manifested. The first part of Satur¬
day’s concert consisted of a performance of AI. Gounod’s
“Alcsse Solennellc (St. Cecilia),” with a new offertorium—a
charming piece of graceful orchestral writing. The composer
(who conducted throughout the evening) was enthusiastically
received. A full and powerful chorus aud a highly-efficient
band gave great effect to both the works referred to. I)r.
Stainer was the organist. The names of the solo singers were
not given in the books.

Last Saturday’s Crystal Palace concert was devoted to a
performance of Handel’s “ Theodora,” of which little-known
work we spoke on the occasion of its revival at one of fins
concerts of the Royal Albert Hall Choral Society in October last
The oratorio was very effectively given on Saturday with the
co-operation of the Crystal Palace choir, the solos by Aladame
Lemmens - Sherrington, Misses Sterling and Dones, Mr.
Cummings, and Signor Agnesi, conducted by Air. Manns. At
the concert of this (Saturday) afternoon Herr Joachim is to
make his first appearance this season.

At this week’s Alonday Popular Concert Dr. xoa
Biilow reappeared and was heard in some pieces by Handel for
piano solo ; in Beethoven’s sonata in C (from op. 102) for piano
and violoncello, with Signor Piatti; and in Molique’a trio in B
flat (repeated by desire). The concert began with Mozart'*
divertimento in B flat, for string quartet, with tho addition of
two horns (Messrs. C. Harper aud .Stauden) and double bass
(Mr. Reynolds). Herr Straus was the leading violinist; the
other members of the quartet having been, as usual, Messrs. T .
Rics and Zerbini and Signor Piatti. Aladame Tatey was the
vocalist. Dr. von Billow will play at the afternoon perform¬
ance of to-day (Saturday) for the last time this season. At
next Alonday’8 concert Herr Joachim will appear.

The fourth concert of the Wagner Society’s second season
was to take place last (Friday) evening, when the programme
included (besides other pieces) a long selection from “ Lohen¬
grin,” for chorus, orchestra, and solo voices. Of the per¬
formances we must speak next week.

Air. G. A. Macfarren’s oratorio, “St. John the Baptist,” is
to be performed, for the first time in Loudon, by the Sacred
Harmonic Society on Friday, Feb. 27.

Air. Willem Coenen has announced three interesting con¬
certs of chamber music, to take place at the Hanover-square
Rooms on the evenings of Feb. 20, Alarch 4 and IS. The pro¬
grammes include some important instrumental works of tho
most modern German school.

THEATRES.

On Saturday a new experiment was made at the Lyceum with
a new piece, suggested evidently by one of Balzac’s novels, aud
forming a melodrama in four acts, each culminating with a
tableau, with little of incident and less of dialogue. The drams,
entitled “Philip,” by Air. Hamilton Aidd, is a skeleton not yet
covered with the flesh and blood of poetry, but inspired with a
grim interest all the more impressive, perhaps, from its bare¬
ness. The action derives some effect from the scene—the open¬
ing one—representing the exterior of an ancient Moorish castla
in Andalusia, the parapet of which overlooks the Guadalquivcr,
painted and set with pictorial skill by Air. Hawes Craven.
Count Philip de Miraflore (Mr. Henry Irving) and Coimt Juan
de Miraflore (Air. John Clayton) are both attached to the same
lady, one Marie (Alias Isabel Bateman)—a young maideu bred
in a convent, but now the poor companion of the Countess (Mi^
G. Pauncefort). The family are poor but proud, and the stern
mother is indignaut when told by her younger son that his
brother Philip designs to wed her dependant. He himself
manifests less worthy intentious, and loves the girl in a
wicked fashion of his own. Turned adrift by the Countess
the poor orphan takes her departure ; but Juan attemps to fol¬
low her. Philip resists ; whereupon Jean aims a blow at him
with his stiletto, and Philip in return fires at Juan
with his gun. Juan falls, and Philip makes liis escape. Thu*
ends the first act. Eight years are supposed to elapse between
it and the next. We then find Alarie acting, in Paris, as com¬
panion to Aladame Provoisin (Miss Virginia Francis)—a
fashionable lady who lives on her debts, and is visited by all
manner of notabilities. Among these is Count St. Leon, who
is, in fact, our old friend Count Philip returned from America
with a fortune. The lovers recognise each other, come to an
understanding, and the curtain falls on their betrothal. But
the Count has not told his wife of having slain his brother;
so when, in the third act, an apparently old man relates at the
breakfast-table the tale of Count Philip having murdered his
brother Juan, Alarie is naturally shocked, and an alteration
takes place in their mutual feelings. Alarie seeks an explana¬
tion from the stranger, who visits her in the fourth act, and,

having thrown off hi 9 disguise, proves to be the still living
Juan. Basely he pleads for a recognition of his love, which
she disdainfully rejects ; and, expecting her husband’s return,
►huts him up in her oratory. Count St. Leon enters, full of
jealousy, though, as it appears to us, without sufficient motive,
and acts towards his wife in an exceedingly arbitrary manner.
Suspecting that she has a lover concealed in the oratory, he
makes her swear to the contrary ; then produces Balzac s
romance, and proposes, in imitation of its hero, to wall up the
closet, and summons the masons, who are already at work in
the grounds, for the purpose. Here one might think that Mario
would exclaim that it was his brother, and so prevent the
threatened mischief; but she does nothing of the kind,
and leaves him to alter his mind, which is to give
the delinquent the chance of a duel. He therefore unbars the
oratory; and, behold! his brother Juan stands visibly before him.
If is wouder is only exceeded by his satisfaction at the fact, and
lie exclaims that * 4 the stone of remorse is thereby lifted from his
heart. ” And so all parties are made happy, and the curfoiu falls
on their com tnon safety. Very little power of language is shown
in the dialogue, but some constructive skill in the situations,
and upon these the success depended. The new play was
received with applause, but cannot claim either much originality
or high rank. The placing of it on the boards, with some fine
scones by Messrs. Craven and H. Cuthbert, and the acting, are
all first-rate, and the triumph clearly belongs to the artists
engaged in the representation.

Another morning performance at the Gaiety included Mr.
rhclps and Mr. Toole in tho performance of “ The Rivals ” on
Saturday, as well as Mr. Hermann Vezin and Miss Carlisle,
Mrs. Leigh, Mr. Charles Harcourt, and Mr. Lionel Brough.
The wholo went off remarkably well.

Such has been the success of tho late Mr. Robertson’s
comedy of “School,” that ou Saturday it attained its 500th
night of representation. It still continues to attract full houses
at the Prince of Wales’s Theatre.

Miss Braddon’s “ Griselda” having run its appointed course
at tho Princess’s, Mr. Guiver has judiciously fallen back upon
tho most popular of Mr. Tom Taylor’s historical dramas, in
which Mrs. Rousby resumes her original character of the Lady
Elizabeth, Mr. Rousby appearing as Bishop Gardiner, and Mr.
W. Rignold as Lord Courteney. The play will continue to be
acted every evening until tho 23rd inst., when it will be with¬
drawn, to make way for Mr. W. G. Wills’s new drama, “ Marie
Stuart,” in which Mrs. Rousby will impersonate the Queen of
Scots and Mr. Rousby the redoubtable John Knox.

The season of French plays at the Uolbom Theatre has
been replote with novelties and well-deserved revivals.
“ Tricoche et Cacolet ” and “ Le Rdvoillon ” have never failed
to draw good houses. “ L’Infortunee Caroline,” another of the
same class, has been produced for the first time. “ Lcs

THE STRAIT OF MALACCA.

The political recriminations that Mr. Gladstone and Mr.
Disraeli have lately exchanged with each other in their election
speeches and letters, have more than once referred to a distant
but important geographical topic, which our Map will help to
explain. The Dutch Government is now engaged in a warfare
against the Sultan of Acheen, which is a Mohammedan Malay
State at the northern extremity of the large Isle of Sumatra.
The Dutch were bound, till very lately, by a treaty with the
British Government, not to acquire any new territorial posses-
sions along that coast of Sumatra which extends a length of live
or six hundred miles opposite the western shores of the Malay
Peninsula ; these shores of the continent fronting Sumatra
with the British mercantile colonics of Penang, Malacca, and
Singapore. The Strait of Malacca, which is the maritime
passage between the Malay Peninsula and the Island of
Sumatra, has a direction from north-west to south-east, between
latitude 5 deg. 20 min. N., longitude 07 deg. 30 min. E., and
latitude 1 deg. 15 min. N., longitude 103 deg. 40 min. E. At
its northern end the strait is nearly ISO miles wide, hut
southward it grows narrower, till, opposite the town of
Malacca, its width is but thirty-six miles, and both
shores, though rather low, are visiblo from mid-channel.
The promontory of Acheen, being situated at tho north-western
point of Sumatra, must bo distant, as Mr. Gladstone said, not
less than 300 miles from the Asiatic mainland. The greater
portion of the island shores opposite to Malacca docs not belong

to Acheen, but to several petty States, dependent more or less
upon the Sultan of Siak, which is the part nearly opposite
commercial settlement of Singapore. The Dutch possessions
in Sumatra lio on the western shores of this island, consisting of
tho live regencies of Palembang, Lampong, Bencoolcn, Padang,
nud Ayer Banghis, including the port of Baroos. Since the
beginning of the seventeenth century thero has been a rivalry
between the Dutch and English for trade, and sometimes for
dominion, in this part of the world. The Portuguese had
begun to occupy it nearly a hundred years before, hut they
hau to give way to tho Dutch. The three British settlements
on the mainland shore of tho strait are of great value to us,
especially that of Singapore. This was founded in 1810 ; but
that of Penang in 1786: they are both on small islands, yet
close to the mainland. The Dutch settlement of Malacca was
. eded to Great Britain in 1824, when that treaty obligation
was imposed, winch has recently been set aside in exchange
for our acquiring tho Dutch settlements on tho Gold Coast of
West Africa. The aggregate value of yearly exports and
imports at tho three British settlements in the btrait of
Malacca is nearly twenty-two millions sterling, and the aggre¬
gate tonnage of vessels arriving there exceeds a million tons
burden in the year. „ ...

The .Strait of Malacca is also the way for our maritime
commerce to China, as is shown by the Map.

A correspondent at Brussels (Mr. R. Thcllnson) sends us
some particulars relating to Rnbcns’s masterpieces in Antwerp
Cathedral, which we think will be of interest to artists and
tho piblio generally. Thero having been some grounds for
supposing that these famous works were being injured by damp
in the cathedral, a Commission was lately appointed by the

Belgian Government to inquire into the condition of the paint¬
ings, and lovers of art will bo glad to know that it was foimd
they had suffered no material injury. The examination led,
however, to a further inquiry and discussion as to whether tho
pictures belonged to tho cathedral authorities or to the State.
At a meeting of tho Town Council of Antwerp last month the
following facls were adduced :—It is known that Rubens
painted,"in 1611, the picture of “The Descent from tbe Cross”
for the Society of Arquehusicrs of Antwerp ; and they some
years afterwards-placed it in a chapel in the cathedral belong¬
ing exclusively to tho socioty. with which the cathedral
authorities could not interfere. During the French Revolution
Rubens’s pictures were carried off from Antwerp Cathedral and,
with many other of the art-treasures of Europe, were deposited
in the Louvre ; and, in 1793, tho French National Convention,
after suppressing all churches and corporations, made a
decree to the effect that the property hitherto belong¬
ing to churches and corporations should^ belong to the
nation. Belgium was annexed to France in 1795, anti, although
tho churches were restored to the clergy in 1802, Rubens’s
pictures still remained in Paris. It wa3 only after the Treaty
of Paris, in 1814, that tho pictures were restored to the King
of the Netherlands. By a decree dated 1S15 the King directed
them to be deposited in their former places, and the care and
surveillance of them was “intrusted” to the “Government
Commissioner of Arts and .Sciences.” The facts having been
verified by eminent jurists, the Antwerp Town Council con¬
tend that the Government of 1S15, having only deposited the
pictures with certain individuals, and reserved the surveillance
of them to a Government official, the Government has never
parted with its rights of property in them, but has treated
them ns belonging to the State. This right being established,
the Antwerp Council have now under consideration the pro¬

priety of removing tho pictures to the Museum of Antwerp^
where so many other fine works of the master arc preserved.

The London correspondent of the Manchester Guardian hears
that the fortune which has been left by B«,ron Moyer do
Rothschild, though not so large as was generally expected, 13
likely to exceed three millions sterling.

Mr. John Wilkinson, proprietor of Oakenshaw Printworks,
Clayton le-Moors, near Accrington, was caught by some revolv¬
ing machinery in his own establishment last Saturday. Before
the engine could be stopped his life was gone, his body being
frightfully mutilated.

The Dublin Corporation has resolved unanimously to me¬
morialise the Government for the appropriation of the Irish
Church Surplus Fund to the widening of Carlisle Bridge, the
construction of a new street leading to Christ Church
Cathedral, the drainage of such parts of the country a3 may
require drainage, tho reclamation of waste lands and other pur¬
poses, the adornment and improvement of tho city, and tho
advancement of the material prosperity of the country
generally.

Tho closing ceremony and distribution of prizes of the Can-
bridge Industrial Exhibition took place at the Guildhall,
Cambridge on Monday evening, under the presidency of Mr.
Alderman J. Death, the Mayor. The exhibition, which has
been visited by upwards of 20,000 persons, has resulted in a
great success; and a resolution was passed with acclamation
(on the motion of Mr. Judge Beales, seconded by Mr. T. II.
Naylor), declaring that it had been a public benefit tn the town,
and affirming the desirability of promoting a similar exhibition
in the course of about two years or so. Tho pri7"3 were
distributed by Mrs. W. H. Thompson, Trinity Lodge.

METROPOLITAN

BOROUGHS

ELECTION

SKETCHES.

The first general election of Parliamentary representatives that
has ever been conducted by the machinery of the ballot was
certainly attended with less disorder than we have seen upon
former occasions. This cannot be ascribed to popular in*
difference and apathy, for the numbers actually voting were
greater than usual, and conversation ran as freely upon the
chances of one or another result as in the old days of tne open
poll. We have made up two pages of Engravings from the
sketches taken by our Artists in several boroughs of the London
district while their different elections were pending. They are
meant only to show the humorous characteristics of such a
frank expression of English popular feeling as is commonly
drawn forth by this exciting procedure. In this respect both
the contending political parties seem pretty much alike in
every town of the kingdom, but there is more liveliness of
speech and behaviour among the working-class crowd in a
London street than in some provincial cities, and here
also they know better how to keep their temper. The true
Londoner is a lover of fair play, and has little of the bully
or “rough” in his disposition. We have seen in some
Lancashire towns—never in Manchester—the most ferocious
violence used at election times, with a savage wanton¬
ness that one would be glad to chastise as it deserved,
and without the slightest pretext or provocation. In towns of
the south and west of England, though few heads are broken,
and actual fighting is rare, we have often heard a candidate or
his supporters assailed with the foulest insolence of ribald lan¬
guage, and denied permission to speak an audible sentence on
the hustings. Londoners set a good example to the country,
we are glad to say, in their comparative regard for the civilities
and decencies of an election ; but there is plenty of harmless
fun, and plenty of earnest activity, with that tolerance and
forbearance winch is the need of all.

Taking the metropolitan boroughs all round—and it was a
matter of course in the city of London—they performed this
grand political operation very quietly on their polling days, and
the meetings previously held by the partisans of both sides
were seldom maliciously interrupted. Among the Prime
Minister'sconstituencyof Greenwich—which includes Deptford,
Woolwich, Charlton, and Plumstcad, with a population of
170,000, and 1(5,000 electors—the work of getting in their votes.

on Tuesday week, was carried on with much spirit from
eight o’clock to four. Nineteen polling-booths were erected
in the different townships; and the ballot-boxes, at
the close of the poll, were conveyed to the central
polling-place, at the Greenwich Lecture-Hall. The artisans
and labourers employed in Woolwich Arsenal were
allowed to leave their work at noon in order to record their
votes, and they were not obliged to return to work that day.
The leisure of street-loungers was beguiled with a variety of
diversions. One was exhibited at Greenwich, in a mild sort
of dog-fight between two arrant curs, which bore on their
collars the labels of “ Whig ” and “ Tory,” and the bystanders
were much edified by this practical lesson, intended to show
that the indulgence of party spite has a ridiculous and odious
aspect. There were not two, but throe, conflicting parties in
the case of the Greenwich election; for while Mr. Boord and
Mr. Liardet, the Conservative candidates, made common cause,
hoisting the same colour, Mr. or Dr. Baxter Langley, as an
uncompromising Hadical, appeared in direct competition with
the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone. The Premier’s colour was
blue; and that of Dr. Baxter Langley, in compliment to his
Home-Rule Irish supporters, was green ; the Conservatives
sported crimson, and many persons wore their rosettes of
these different hues, which showed that they at least did not
care to take the benefit of secret voting. The placards which
were displayed about the town bore reference, on the one side,
to alleged excessive parsimony at the Admiralty and War
Office, which had deprived Greenwich, Woolwich, and Dept¬
ford of their former gains from the naval and military expendi¬
ture. On the other side, Mr. Boord’s commercial pursuits as a
distiller exposed him to the reproach of profiting by the vice of
drunkenness. Nobody seemed to remember that the Chancellor
of the Exchequer, in his public capacity, had gone shares in the
profits of selling all kinds of intoxicating liquor, thereby gain¬
ing nearly all the boasted surplus of revenue ; and that the
licensed publicans, with their customers, had really supplied
Mr. Glaastonc’s prosperous Budget. “Gin and Misenr,
indeed, was a cry that had too much sad truth in it; and if
that was the theme of the poor woman’s oratory who is shown
by our sketch in the act of exerting her right of free speech,
it is very likely that she knew but too well what she was talk-

ing about. This is, however, a graver
consideration than we are now minded to
discuss in our passing glance at the scenes
of the late eleotion. The gathering of
people at the Greenwich Lecture-Hall, to
wait for the declaration of the poll, is
the subject of an Illustration; but the
process of counting the votes was not
finished till an hour after midnight.

In the boroughs of Southwark, the
Tower Hamlets, and Chelsea, where the
polling took place on Thu rsday week, there
were many characteristic incidents ; and
we need only refer to our sketches in
those parts of London, which scarcely
need explanation. The well-known name
of Odger as the “ working-man’s candi¬
date ” in Southwark was a spell to conjure
by; and in the peculiar form of hat and
cut of beard affected by some of his sup¬
porters one might recognise the tokens of
adhesion to the Democratic Republican
faction of Continental malcontents. A cab
retained for Colonel Beresford, the Con¬
servative candidate, seems to have got
into the thick of the throng at Ber¬
mondsey, where its progress was sorely
impeded ; but that was a trifle to what
the poor driver had to suffer. In the
western borough of Chelsea cum-Kensing-
ton, it will be observed, a pair of Radical
Baronets found themselves' opposed bv
one Conservative barrister, and, still
worse, embarrassed by the unwelcome
pretensions of a third Liberal candidate.
The “ Chelsea sandwich,” composed of a
piece of man between two slices of pla¬
card, was seen walking about that part
of town all day, so that one might run
and read. Everybody could tell who was

meant by “the People’s William but
the other warning, “ Don’t be cajoled by
a lady,” shall receive from us no further
comment, unless we may retort with the
natural question, “Why not?” In the
Tower Hamlets, on the day after the
voting, when Mr. Ritchie, the Conserva¬
tive, was returned at the head of the poll,
his carriage was drawn through the
streets in triumph, men volunteering to
do the work of horses, which is a custom
that we should wish to have left in
disuse. _

The barque Lady Havelock, of Liverpool,
855 tons, Wood master, bound from Dal-
housie to Hull, was wrecked on the
Goodwin Sands on the 10th inst. The
first intimation of the wreck was the firing
of signals from the Goodwin and Gull
light-ships at half-past four o’clock in the
morning, while a gale of wind was blowing
from the E.N.E., accompanied by thick
snow squalls, the weather being very cold
at the time. Promptly the Ramsgate har¬
bour steamer Aid and life-boat Bradford
and the Broadstaire life boat of the
National Institution proceeded out in
response to the signals of distress. The
steamer and first-named life-boat made
direct for the Goodwin light-ship through
a heavy sea. On reaching her the bearings
of the wreck were ascertained ; and on
arriving near the vessel the anchor was
let go to windward. The ship was full
of water, and the sea was breaking com¬
pletely over her. The master and crew
of fifteen men were with great difficulty
taken into the life-boat Bradford and
safely landed in Ramsgate harbour.

BOYAL INSTITUTION LECTURES.

IMTORTANCE OF VENTILATION.

Professor Rutherford, M.D., began his fourth lecture, on
Tuesday week, by describing the changes which the air under¬
goes (luring respiration—viz., the loss of oxygen and lie gain
of carbonic acid, heat, moisture, and putresciblo orgamc matters.

In reference to the cause of death in asphyxia, lie described
experiments showing that death may be produced either by
increasing the amount of carbonic acid in the blood, although
the amount of oxygen be not diminished, or by diminishing the
amount of oxygen without increasing the amount of carbonic
acid. The carbonic acid is a narcotic, producing drowsiness, and
linally insensibility. When death results from carbomc acid
poisoning there are no convulsions. W hen, on the ot nr hand,
it results from oxygen starvation, death is preceded by con¬
vulsions, as in ordinary cases of suffocation ; hence the inference
that deprivation of oxygen is the cause of death m such cases.
The slight effects from breathing air vitiated by respiration,
such as headache, lassitude, and general ill-health, may l>e due
not only to the deficiency of oxygen, but also to the accumula¬
tion of carbonic acid and putresciblo organic matter derived
from the air-passages, as well as from the skin. In speaking
of the necessity for ventilation, the Professor said that justi as
there is continual renewal of the air within the air-cellsi of the
lungs by means of what is nothing more than an automatic
ventilating apparatus; so there should be in every apartment
a similar renewal of the air; for it is nothing more than
a large air-cell, as the nose is to a certain extent a good indi¬
cator of the purity of air. Air Bhould not be breathed
which has a disagreeable odour; this, in respired air, being due
to organic matter exhaled from the lungs. If a person weie
placed in a room containing 1000 cubic feet of air (that is, a
room 10 ft. high and 10 ft. square), the air ought to be changed
three times in an hour to keep it pure ; with a smaller amount
of air, stiil more frequently, and vice versa. Such complete
ventilation is seldom obtained in our climate, on account of
cold. The outlet and inlet of air should be so arranged as to
prevent sensible draughts. In ordinary cases the chimney,
when there is a fire, is a sufficient outlet; but the inlet m
winter is apt to be neglected. An aperture at the top of the
window, covered with wire-gauze and muslin is excellent as
regards the change of air, but it may reduce the temperatir
of the air too much. The Professor expressed hia preferen e
for Captain Galton’s method, whereby the external air is con¬
veyed in pipes to chambers surrounding the chimney or stove,
and thereby warmed before entering the room. The ventila¬
tion of sleeping-chambers is generally most neglected, through
their small size and the erroneous idea that a fireplace is suffi¬
cient, even when there is no fire, to create a draught. It is
essential that there be a distinct aperture for the inlet of the
outer air, or of the air from other parts of the house. An open
window can be seldom endured in the night in this country ;
but a hole in the top or bottom of the door, or in the wall
above the door, can always be borne, if it be covered with wire
gauze to diffuse the air and prevent draught.

EXTINCT RE TITLES AND THEIR TIMES.

Professor Duncan, M.D., F.R.S., began his fourth lecture on
Palaeontology, on Thursday week, with details of the structure
of the iguanodon, the great lizard with birdlike combinations,
whose remains have been so abundantly found in the clay and
and of the W r ealden of Sussex, together with impressions of
the three toes on its hind foot. It was probably harmless and
herbivorous, and kangaroo-like in its movements. Some re¬
markable contemporaries of the iguanodon, belonging to the
same intercalary group of diuosaunans, were next considered,
these being the hykeosaurua, or wood-lizard, and the megalo-
saurus, or great lizard, both possessing reptilian and ornithic
characters. The former hud a defensive crest running along
its back, and also scales, and its teeth show it to have been a
vegetable feeder ; while the megalosaurus, with its massive
head and huge lacertilian tooth, was doubtless carnivorous, and
the terror of its neighbours. The extinction of this group, and
the presence of numerous jaws of small marsupials in the
Weahlon-Purbcck deposits, were referred to changes in the
physical geography of the very limited delta of the great river
, i the age. The Professor then explained how the crust uiovc-
m nfcs which terminated the marine deposits of the preceding
(•Itimssic) age, the condition of the old land-surface of the
Purbcck, and the oscillations which prevailed during its dopo-

tion had inlluencod the distribution of animal forms. Finally,
the subsidence of the whole district let in the sea, and its de¬
posits gradually covered up the Wcalden—which, indeed, was
a very small spot on the world's surface, though it contained
such a large amount of animal life. A corresponding land-
surface which existed long before the Wealdon, in the midst of
the Jurassic coral sea, was pointed out to have been formed at
Sfcoueslicld, in Oxfordshire. The remarkable mammalian fauna
there found* so marsupial and Australian in its character, was
accompanied by sharks and shells with corresponding affinities;
and the flora was proved to have been southern also. Dwel¬
ling in the surrounding sea were the great fish-lizard (ichthyo¬
saurus), a large predaceous creature, which may have spouted
like the whale ; and the plesiosaurus, which possessed the head
of a lizard, the teeth of a crocodile, an enormously long neck,
a trunk and tail like an ordinary quadruped, and the ribs of a
chameleon. By means of its paddles, like those of a wffiale, it
probably gained its living on the sea shore. Tiie pterodactyl©,
a Hying saurian, was the last creature described, and the lecture
concluded with comments on the geological history of the time.

ANALOGIES OF THE DEALT AND THE CTP *M-ENGINE.

Alfred H. Garrod, Esq., at the Friday truing meeting, on
the 6th inat., began his discourse by stating that the sphygmo-
graph, invented by Marey to describe the state of the pulse,
had not yet been sufficiently appreciated as a method of
research. In every maintained circulation, liko that of the
blood, two points have to bs considered—one being the action
of the pump itself and its adjuncts, such as the valves and
piston ; the other, the forces which sustain the action. To the
lurther elucidation of the former most physiologists have given
attention; yet the latter is of primary importance, and much
information respecting it may be learned by means of the
sphygmograph trace. In many engines that do work, such as
pumping, there is no arrangement by which the intensity of the
source of heat which supplies the boiler is capable of modifying
itself, according to the work required of it. In the locomotive
the waste-steam pipe, by opening into the chimney of the
furnace, to a certain extent varies the draught, according to the
amount of work that is being done. In this case, however,
there is a great waste of heat, and it is necessary, in looking
for a more economical employment of fuel, to find an instru¬
ment of different construction. Mr. Garrod then showed by
experiments how it is possible to construct a steam-engine in
which efficiency for doing work shall vary with the work to be
done. A small high-pressure steam-pump was made to pump
coal gas into an elastic bag with tubes, one of which led into an
empty gas-bag and another to the gaS-lamp which heated the
boiler. The leakage into the gas-bag could be regulated by a
tap, and it was made evident that the more ready wa3 the flow

that such is the case. In it each p.ise^vcBUuhcaUonso^rio
duration of the systole (contraction), and of the aiaswie
(dilatation) of the ventricles and it is as easy to“^Hliattht
length of the one as of the other. By so doing it is fonnd that the
pulle-rate is uot dependent on the pressure of Wood “
arteries • consequently, the time occupied by the heart in per
forming ’e£h systolic L is independent of the amount of work
that is done in that act. This can only he explained on the
assumption that the nutrition of the muscular walls of the
heart varies directly with the blood-pressure in the artenes
just in the same way that the size of the flame of the lamp
employed in the engine above described vanes with the pressure
that has to be attained in the bellows of the pump. It was
shown that still more is to be learned from the sphygmograph
trace. The time of diastole (that is, the time during which the
coronary arteries are supplying blood to the cardiac tissue) can
he proved to influence the length of the systole. lor, though
the length of the systole in the arteries does not vary for any
given rapidity of pulse, yet it varies as the cube-root of the
pulse-rate. This law, when taken in connection with another
law respecting the length of the cardiac systole itself enables
it to be proved that the nutrition of the walls of the heart

Professor Croom Robertson began his fourth and concluding
lecture on Kant’s Critical Philosophy, on Saturday last, by dis¬
tinguishing the positive and negative Bides of the results
arrived at by Kant in his “ Transcendental Analytic.” On the
positive side an exposition was given of true objective know¬
ledge. Negatively, the result was that knowledge is confined
to Phenomena—to matter of actual or possible experience.
Phenomena, no doubt, portended the existence of NoUmcna or
things in themselves; but, as these are given in no ex¬
perience, there can be no knowledge of them. Metaphysic is
impossible as a science of such hyper-physical entities : yet
metaphysic, though declared impossible as a science of the
supernatural, is a natural and ineradicable tendency of human
reason. It is necessary to subject the faculty of reason (as
opposed to understanding) to express criticism, in order that
the ground of this natunu division of knowledge may be, once
for all, discovered. Ileason has the function, with respect to
knowledge attained by understanding, that it brings this to the
highest unity. This it does through the general notions,
called ideas, which Kant connected with the logical forms of
syllogism, but which he found in previous metaphysical systems,
especially the system of Wolff:—Soul, World (Cosmos), God.
Kant showed how through each of these ideas Speculative Reason
gives only an illusion of knowledge. The Professor followed
Kant through the Paralogisms of Pure Ileason in regard to Soul;
the Antinomy of Pure Ileason, as to the nature of the World
as a whole bey’on d experience; and the Ideal of Pure Ileason,
which made everthing dependent on a most real and perfect
Being, God. The ideas have, in truth, only a regulative and
not a constitutive function, as regards our knowledge. Of
immortality, free-will, and God there can be, according to
Kant, neither theoretic proof nor disproof. It was then indi¬
cated how Kant was able to establish all three a > necessary
postulates of Practical Reason for the explanation of the fact of
moral duty. Towards the close of the lecture the Professor
dwelt upon the unsatisfactory nature of Kant s doctrine of tho
Notime non. He said that Kant has decisively shown that
verifiable knowledge is confined to the region of phenomenal
experience, and has thus done a work in the interests of science
which can nevor lose its value. In his analysis of knowledge
he has raised questions which yet await their answer from
psychology; and it greatly concerns English psychology of the
present day to give heed to them.

PROPAGATION OF DISEASE THROUGH THE AIR.

Professor Rutherford, M.D., began his fifth aud concluding
lecture on Respiration, on Tuesday last, by describing tho
matters suspended in the air we breathe, including not only
inorganic and dead organic substancos, but also living
amoebiform particles of protoplasm resembling the germs or
spores of f uugi and the minute animalcules named bacteria. By
the passage of these through the air, he said, disease may be
propagated. Liko the seeds of plants, these germs can retain
their vitality for a long poriod, and only spring into activity
when they meet with suitable conditions. In relation to this,
tho Professor described tho decomposition of a piece of meat
and tho early presence of bacteria, saying that the more rapid
putrefaction of a piece of fresh meat brought into the tainted
atmosphere was probably due to the increased numbers of the
animalcule. He stated that the propagation of smallpox, fevers,
and other diseases is now attributed to poison in the form of
particles of bacterial protoplasm being earned through the atmo-
sphero ; and he stated that sheep have taken smallpox through
breathing air passed through clothing which had been worn by
persons having that disease. The poison is probably solid, as
it clings to the walls of rooms, and clothing. From these germs,
of whose nature we have as yet no positive knowledge, although
always floating in the air and entering our lungs, we probably
derive no liann in general, because they are either not sufficient
in number, or because our organism is in a condition unfavour¬
able to their development. As a precaution when entering con¬
taminated atmospheres, the Professor alluded to cotton-wool
respirators ; but lie was not sure whether bacteria and other
germs would be intercepted by them, and lie suggested their
trial, and said it would be interesting to know whether the
germs are killed by the action of chlorine, sulphurous acid, or
ozone. The latter part of tho lecture was devoted to the
structure and office of tho skin and its appendages, including
its respiratory function and its regulation of the temperature
by sensible and insensible perspiration. Death, which is the
result of varnishing the skin, he attribuxedto the suppression of
that organ’s excretory function rather than to the loss of heat.

Professor Tyndall will, on Tuesday next, begin a course of six
lectures on Liquids and Gases. The discourse next Friday
evening will be giveu by Mr. Vernon Heath on the Autotype
and other Photographic Processes and Discoveries.

St. Etlielreda’s Chapel, Kly-placc, about which our contem¬

Mr. M‘Quin tin, of the Royal Exchange-buildings, who bought
it on behalf of a gentleman who intends to preserve it as a
chapel. We hope this information is correct to the letter, and.
that a consecrated building so rich in historical association, and
one of the few examples of mediaeval architecture which remain
in London, is rescued. It is the last fragment of a once
famous episcopal palace, that was built early in the fourteenth
century, and therefore belongs to the best period of Decorated
or Second Pointed Gothic. *‘It would be humiliating to think
(soys the Secretary of the Institute of British Architects) that
even in this utilitarian age a venerablo structure, once part of a
building occupied by John of Gaunt, where monarchs of the
Tudor fine have been entertained, whose gardens are mentioned
by Shakspeare, and which is inseparably connected with tho
memory of Sir Christopher Hatton and his Royal mistress
Queen Elizabeth, should pass from its present use into desecra¬
tion or be sold for building materials.”

Two discoveries of antiquities have been made in the City,
one in an excavation of twenty feet deep in Cannon- street,
where a number of bronze medallions, bearing dates between
1306 and 1361 have been found. The other Jind was excavated
on the premises of Messrs. Hobson and Co., in Lombard-street
and George-yard, being an old stone lintel over the jamb of a
doorway leading to a subterranean passage, wherein several
skulls and bones were found ; tlic lintel is dated 1GG9. In
George-yard was the London lodging of Earl Ferrers, whose
brother, in 1175, was slain here in the night and thrown into
the street, which foul deed led to tho settmg of night watches.

The Edinburgh Courant reports the discovery’ of nearly ‘200
ancient British coins (mostly Edward I.) on the estate of the
Earl of Haddington, in the west of Berwickshire, by a labourer,
while cutting a drain : a decayed horn was also found within
three feet of the surface, and distant from any habitation.

Mr. Burchett has communicated to the Society of Anti¬
quaries “A Memoir on the Tumulus of Now Grange, Co.
Meath, Ireland,” described in the Archceokgia , 1773.

Mr. Thomas Drew, A.R.H.A., has sent to tho Archneo-
logical Society of Ireland (late of Kilkenny) an account of con¬
centrically incised stones, found in the counties of Dublin and
Wicklow, near old churches, and used either as gravestones or
in the construction of ancient buildings.

Another ancient coflin has been dug up in the Roman ceme¬
tery at Milton, near Sittingbourne. it contained a few bones,
a gold wire ring, and some wooden nails. This is the seventh
or eighth coflin found here.

“Saving the Tower at St. Alban’s” is the head-line of a
very interesting page of the Builder of tho 31st ult., described
from the recent works, given at the last meeting of the
St. Alban’s Archaeological and Architectural Society, by Mr.
John Chappie, the representative of Sir G. G. Scott at the
Abbey. A “painful” plan, to a scale of an inch to thirty-
two feet, has been contributed to a little work recently pub-
lishcd by Mr. R. Lloyd, ono of the secretaries of the Sfc. Alban’s
Society, and containing “An Account of the Altars, Monu¬
ments, and Tombs ” existing in the Abbey in 1428. This is
a translation of three Latin documents in J. de Amundesham’a
“ Annales,” edited by Mr. H. X. Riley.

Dr. C. Bruce has described to the Society of Antiquaries
discoveries recently made near tho Roman wall. During tho
construction of a new bridge over tho Tyne at Newcastle the
workmen found what Dr. Bruce believes to be the sub¬
structions of three bridges previously built over the Tyne —
viz., (1) Hadrian’s Bridge, (2) a bridge built in tho twelfth
century, and (3) a bridge built in the eighteenth century. Of
the two former bridges Dr. Bruce exhibited portions of the
timbers so found, as well as plans showing the positions in
which they were found. Mr. M. H. Bloxham exhibited to
the society a charter granted by King John, a.d. 1209 to the
nuns of Stcynlield, Lincolnshire.

Mr. B. V. Head has read to the Numismatic Society the
first portion of a piapcr “On the Chronological Sequence of the
Coins of Syracuse,” in which he endeavoured to determine,
with greater exactness than has hitherto been attempted, thu
dates of the various issues in all metals, from the time of the
Oligarchy of the Geomori, in the sixth century b c., down to
the usurpation of Agathoeles, in b.c. 317. Mr. Head exhi¬
bited, in illustration of his paper, a selection of electrotypes
and casts from the most characteristic specimens of the Syra¬
cusan series preserved in the national coin-cabinet; among
which, as an example of archaic art, may be mentioned one of
tho famous dekadrachms struck after the victory of Gelon,
tyrant of Syracuse, over the Carthaginians, at Himera, in b.o.
4S0, the issue of which pieces is recorded by Diodorou9 (xi. 26).

Mr. J. S. Phen£, F.S.A , has opened a tumulus at Largs,
in Scotland (never before opened), but which he believes to be
a memorial of tho great battle fought, in 1263, between the
Scots and the invading Norsemen.

In excavating, for the Sunderland and South Shields Water
Company, the summit of Humbledown Hill, about 300 ft. above
the sea-level, have been found two sun-dried urns, filled with
fragments of bones, supposed ancient British, belonging to the
Brigantca. Tho wheel has not been used in their manufacture.

We hear (says the A thence am) that tho Corporation of the
city of London are thinking of appointing a keeper of their
records. The sooner they do so the better, as then we should
hope for proper indexes to the present clueless mass of rolls,
whose state is certainty no credit to the wealthiest Cor¬
poration in Great Britain.

In excavating tho foundations for additions to Crosby Hall
has been discovered part of a Roman tesselated pavement. Tho
border incloses an ornamental leaf, w’orked in red, yellow,
black, and white tesserte. It was found about seven feet only
from the surface.

In excavations for the extension of Messrs. Cassell, Petter,
and Galpin’s premises, from Belle Sauvage-yard to Fleet-lane,
the bed of the old’Fleet ditch has been reached, and on it
•were found fragments of some old boats, several old coins, and
a solid stone sarcophagus, in which were the skull and other
portions of a skeleton, believed to be male.

The original discoveries of Stephen Gray, brother of tho
Charterhouse from 1719 to 1735, were illustrated, a few even¬
ings ago, in a lecture by Dr. B. W. Richardson, F.R.S., in the
dining-hall of the Carthusians. Gray's experiments, suggesting
the identity of electricity and lightning, were laid beiorc the
Royal Society in 1731, seventeen years before the date of
Franklin’s celebrated experiments. Ail honour to the scientific
Carthusian discoverer !

A small quarto volume, containing twenty-five curious
liturgical tracts, issued during the reigns of Edward VI.,
Elizabeth, and James I., among which w’as included “ Psalmes
and Hymns of Praicr and Thanksgiving, made by William
Barlowe, Bishop of Lincolne,” privately printed, 1G13, haa
been sold by Messrs. Puttick and Simpson ior £72.

THE RLUSTEATED LONDON NEWS.

LONDON\ SATURDAY\ FEBRUARY 21, 1S74.

The latest accounts from the Gold Co.ust leave little room
for doubt that the Asliantee War has by tills time been

When they were

brought to a successful conclusion.

*,f nt off - Sir Gan ! et Wolseley was within thirty miles of
Coomassie, awaiting only the bringing up of supplies—
one of tlie chief difficulties with which he has had to

contend. King Koftee Kalcalli had sent all his European
captives into the General’s camp, and, no doubt with a
view of preventing a march of tlie British troops upon
his capital, had intimated his readiness to accede to
proffered terms of peace. The King was evidently
under sore discouragement. The auguries in which he
and his people put great faith had steadily pointed to ill
fortune. ilio army which had ravaged the country
beyond the Prah had been dispersed. The mortal
remains of a large number of Ashantee chiefs
had been borne to their last resting-plkce through
the streets of Coomassie. Sir Garnet had met wfth

no military^ obstruction, scarcely of any signs of it
from the hour of his crossing into the enemy’s territory’
The Asliantees were known to be deficient in ammunition
Every family in the capital was reported by prisoner* to
be making slugs out of stones. The general conviction
among the officers aud press correspondents in
Garnet’s camp was that no fighting of any serious i^.
portance was to be anticipated. The dato was fixed fr JC
entering into, and taking possession of, Coomassie.
was confidently anticipated that the expedition would
at an end and the British troops re-embarked for hoin«
by tlie beginning of March. Of course, it has to hi
borne in mind that conjectures are not equivalent to
facts. “ There ; s many a slip 'twixt the cup and the
lip.” Unforeseen events may upset even the b&st
founded calculations. But, taking a reasonable view of
the data in our possession, we think we are warranted
in assuming that by this time the war is over, and that
the Asliantee King has acknowledged, in some
which his subjects are not likely to misinterpret, the
superiority of British power.

On this assumption one cannot but reflect upon tfe
mischance of the outgoing ^Ministry. Whatever may
have been the burden of their responsibility in sending
out tlie military expedition to the Gold Coast, there can-
not be two opinions as to the completeness and efficiency
of their pieparations to make it successful. In some few
respects they may have been misled by the information
Yvliich they had collected; and, in some few, singular
good luck may have contributed to the results achieved.
But, on the Yvhole, the official authorities charged with
the conduct of this enterprise are fairly entitled to the
credit of so adapting the mcaii3 to the end as to lmve
brought to a close what appeared to be a somewhat
doubtful and iiighly dangerous expedition within a
limited space of time and without any great sacrifice
of life. Their arrangements for the health of the
troops in a deadly climato have been admirable.
Their economy of European labour aud life k\<
proved the exceeding care and scientific ingenuity
with Yvliich (ill their movements Yvere planned No
doubt a large sum of money has been spent, and the
people of this country will have to pay the bill But if
the assurances of members of the late Cabinet nmy ta
trusted, and if any judgment can be formed from tho
materials within reach, the affair, even financially con¬
sidered, can hardly be regarded as very serious, ari l :Ite
administrative ability displayed may well satisfy the

demauds of the public.

The country at large will be exceediug/y well pleased
with this early and honourable termination ot the dis¬
pute. It can hardly, however, be other than matter of
regret that they who have so gallantly sustained the
weight of responsibility should be deprived of the
due reward of their success. We know not how far the
news which has just arrived might have favoured
the Cabinet now out of office if it had reached tins
country at a date prior to the general election.
Our opinion is that it would not have made much dif¬
ference in the decision of Parliamentary constituencies,
Here and there it may have turned the scale to the
advantage of Liberal candidates. But the Ashantee War
never took very deep hold upon the interests of electors.
Had Parliament met according to original appointment,
it might have furnished a topic for keen debate, and,
perhaps, for a close division. It was, however, little
thought of, or, when thought of, speedily dismissed, amid
the turmoil of a sudden electoral struggle. The late
Administration will gaiu nothing from the success ut
Sir Garnet Wolseley’s expedition. The matter, it is to-
be feared, will be summarily set aside and forgotten.
Even the political benefit which might have been
extracted from it in the form of some general rules for
the government of our relations to neighbouring bar¬
barous tribes will perhaps be lost, or at any rate incom¬
pletely realised. England will have saved her reputation,
but beyond this she will probably have derived no good,
material or moral, from the war with Asliantee.

We should rejoice to find that in this latter conjee-
tnre we have been mistaken. The incoming Administra¬
tion would do well, we think, to make the most which
can be made for the future wellbeing of the United
Kingdom by treating the war on the Gold Coast as a
basis upon which to found a more definite policy for tho
government of our colonial settlements. A searching
inquiry into the causes in which the war originated ; 5
thorough investigation into the nature aud limits of th*
powers intrusted to dependent Colonial Governments;
an intelligible exposition of the objects at which we are
aiming, or should aim, in assuming a quasi-protector^
of barbarous tribes ; and tlie drawing of a clear line ,,k
demarcation between tlie duties imposed upon n*
by imperative interests, and those which we occasion^!)’
undertake for ideal and romantic ends, would, perb*l^
be the best compensation which the people of Bngp
can expect from the anxiety, trouble, and expense
which they have been put by tlie wanton invasion 0
Fantee territory by King Koffee Kalcalli. Wliosoav^
may succeed to the oflice of Colonial Minister will do »
service to liis country by moving for a Parham#***#
Committee, or by appointing a Itoyal ComniissioDj w
the purpose of passiug in review the whole train o
occurrences connected with the Ashantee AVar, ®

obviate any such misfortune in future. AVe ought ,l<)

impulses of the governors of our foreign settlements.
AYe should distinctly know what we are about. Our
Administration at home should be held definitively

THE FAAIINE IN INDIA.

The Calcutta telegrams of Wednesday last inform us that no
cases of actual starving to death have yet been reported in
Bengal; but the people sutler greatly from want of food, and
many are seen to be sadly emaciated. The administration of
charitable relief «by the Government officials has been com¬
menced in the provinces of Tirhoot, Bhagulpore, Alongheer,
and Purncah. Two hundred thousand persons arc employed
on the public relief w T orks, besides many employed, with the aid
of loans, by private landowners. The Government had ordered
irrigation works in Tirhoot and a tramway of forty-four miles.
There has been more rain, wffiich has done great good to tho
crops throughout the country ; hut the prices of rice and other
gram are steadily rising at Calcutta. The railway carries
2500 tons daily, and five steam-boats bring grain from Patna.
The Governor-General, Lord Northbrook, ha3 appointed Mr.
Inglis at Allahabad to organise relief arrangements, as Sir K.
Temple is doing in Bengal; and Mr. Simson at Benares, to in¬
spect the condition of the provinces. The relief committees
arc instructed not rigidly to enforce tho labour test. It is con¬
sidered that South Behar will be saved the worst effects of
famine. North Behar will require 180,000 tons to Juue 15, wffiich
will be supplied from the Government stores at Calcutta.

An influential City meeting was held on Monday, at the
Mansion House, under the presidency of the Lord Mayor, to
promote the subscription for tho relief of the famine sufferers
in Bengal. The Queen had already subscribed £1000 to the
Calcutta fund, and now sent a letter, written by her order, to
announce her patronage of the city of London fund. Aliss
Nightingale sent £100, through Sir Bartie Frere. Lord
Lawrence was the leading speaker at this meeting ; he advised
that the money raised here should be sent out to the Govern¬
ment of India, to be used as that Government might think
advisable. He was sure that Lord Northbrook would use it to
the best advantage, as Lord Mayo had done on a similar occa¬
sion. The Hon. Robert Bourke, AI.P., and Mr. Nathan de
Rothschild, M. P., also spoke at the meeting. The executive com¬
mittee had a meeting next day, and resolved to send out
£10,000 to the Calcutta Relief Committee. The Lord Mayor
has addressed a circular to all the municipalities in the United
Kingdom asking their co-operation in a national effort.

The scene delineated in our front page Engraving is an
Illustration of the mode in which the Hindoo people may be
seen, upon any occasion of great prevailing distress, to implore
the aid of one of their deities. This Illustration is drawn by
an Artist who has travelled and resided in India, and has
studied the Indian forms and ideas of religion. The idol in the
form of a bull is called Nandi, and is the Y'ahan or vehicle
ridden by Siva or Maha-Deo, one of the three original
divinities, at once the destroyer and producer of life. Every
one of the gods—and there are thirty-two millions of them—
has a vahan, upon which he or she is‘supposed to ride. Nandi,
the ox, bull, or cow, as the vahan or bearer of the Maha-Dco,
is a great object of adoration. This bull is the type of justice,
“whose body is Parameswarra, and whose every joint is
virtue ; ” his three horns are the three A r edas or Bibles, and his
tail ends where Ad’hcrma or injustice begins. It will not
escape the reader’s memory that the bull was worshipped also
in Egypt and Assyria. In the Alithraic sculptures the bull is
represented as being sacrificed. But what is sacrificed in one
religion becomes in another religion an animal too sacred to be
killed, or even a god. No Hindoo, though dying of starvation,
would kill an ox, and when the Europeans first entered this
country they were denied the use of beef. The Hindoos appeal
to the bull for the relief of their wants because they regard that
beast as the emblem of the reproductive power in nature. The
source of the Ganges, high amidst the snowy peaks of the
Himalayas, is considered the head of Nandi. It is called Guy
ke Mookli, or, the Cow’s Mouth. That great river, wliich
along a thousand miles and more is worshipped for its fertilising
power, is believed to be a gift of the gods through Nandi,
lienee, in seasons of drought and fa min e the people turn to this
idol and pray to it for that life-giving moisture without wliich
the world becomes’a desert and the abode of death. A figure
of the Bull Nandi is to be found in all the Brahminical temples ;
one of colossal size, and ancient, is placed in the inclosure of
the Golden Temple at Benares, which is dedicated to Maha-
Deo. The bull is figured with ornamental trappings and with
a bell hung from his neck. In the scene oar Artist has drawn
wc see people, young and old, before this idol in agonies of
prayer. The mother, in despair, holds up her hucha or child
to Nandi, and begs for kana —that is, food. She exclaims,
“ Hum burra bhookha hai ! (We are very hungry !) Huinara
bncha burra bhookha ha? I (My child is very hungry !) Hum
log morghia hai! (Our people are dead !) ” Such are the crie3
oi lamentation that may too soon be heard in India. The Bull
Nandi may be deaf to them, but not the English John Bull.

A LECTURE AT THE CHARTERHOUSE

The pencil of that famous and popular English artist, Mr.
George Cruiksbank, who has amused and instructed successive
generations of his countrymen during more than sixty years, is
still held by him with a firm hand and guided by a koea eye.
It has drawn for us this week’s Illustration of a scene the other
day at tho Charterhouse, vffien the first of a course of lectures,
for the entertainment of the Brethren in residence there, was
delivered by Dr. B. AV. Richardson, F. R.S. We know the
respectful interest with which the public is accustomed to
regard those secluded pensioners of a venerable and beaetioent
institution. Our sympathy with the black-gow r nod Brotherhood
was greatly enhanced by Thackeray’s touching description of
good Colonel Newcome’s retirement from the world. For this
reason, and for the interest that belongs to such a labour of
love as the drawing contributed by Mr. George Cruikshank,
we have thought it worth an Engraving. The subject of
Dr. Richardson’s lecture was the scientific researches of
Stephen Gray, F.R.S., who was one of tho Brethren of
the Charterhouse from 1719 to 1735-6. He was one of tho
most remarkable men of the last century, and did a groat
deal for the promotion of electrical science in it3 early days.
Dr. Richardson has devoted much time to collecting tho works
of Gray, and has rescued his name from comparative obscurity
to place him in a high rank among the benefactors of mankind.

But little is known of the personal history of Stephen Gray.
He seems to have been following astronomical pursuits at
Canterbury from 1692 to 1706; then he disappears till he is
found in the Charterhouse in 1719. In 1720 his first paper on
electricity appears at the Royal Society. After a lapse of ten
years he reappears at the Royal Society again on electricity, and
continues with reports on his original work from time to time
in the succeeding five years. For his work the society award
him the first Copley medal in 1731, repeat the award in 1732,
and elect him a fellow. He is still busy at his work almost to
the moment of his death, on Feb. 15, 1736—133 years ago.

Dr. Richardson’s lecture was purely a series of experimental
demonstrations. It was a mere repetition of the processes of
investigation performed by Stephen Gray himself. All these
experiments w ere carried on with the most simple apparatus.
A glass tube 3 ft. 6 in. long and a little more than nu inch in
diameter, a rubber, a fir stick, a fishing-rod, a metal rod, an
ivory ball, a length of packthread, a cake or two of resin, a
wooden pole, some silken thread, a few down feathers, and
some brass leaf, were the greater portion of the instruments for
research at the command of Gray. With these limited meaus
that original investigator so advanced the science of electricity
that, without him, Die bases on which the science has been so
rapidly developed might have remained to this day unknown.
Gray discovered that electricity could be communicated
from certain substances to other substances ; that it could
be conducted through various media, as through pack¬
thread and metallic wires j and that it could be insu¬
lated, and, when perfectly insulated, could be conveyed
through proper conductors for long distances, and practic ally
instantaneously. The original experiment proving these facts
oi insulation and conduction was demonstrated by the lecturer ;
and a beautifully artistic diagram, by Air. George Cruikshank,
illustrating Gray’s great experiment of sending an electrical
communication 050 lu. through a pack thread, insulated on silk
bearers, supported by poio», ~ Idea much to the interest of this
part of the lecture. This first great event in electrical com¬
munication occurred on July 14, 1729, in the grounds of
Granville AYheeler, Esq., at Ofcterden, near Faversham, in
Kent. The electricity was excited on a glass tube ; a piece of
pack-thread attached to the excited tubo was the conductor ;
the silk bands stretched across the poles were the insulators ;
and an ivory ball, attached to the other extreme end of the
pack-thread and suspended on silk a^ioss one of the windows
of the house, was the terminal at which the electric communi¬
cation was taken, by tho simple process of presenting brass leaf
to the ball, and observing the attraction that followed when the
tube was excited.

Our Illustration shows how an experiment was male by
Gray with a soap bubble. A bubble is blown from a common
pipe, the pipe is insulated by a silk band, and when an e ;cited
glass tube is brought near the pipe, the bubble has an eloctric
attraction.

Tho Dowager Alarchioness of AVestminster has presented a
donation of £100 to the Cabmen’s Benevolent Association,
Soho-square, as a contribution to the annuity fund for aged or
infirm cabmen who are members of tho society.

A banquet was given and presentation made, last week, at
the Bier Pavilion, to Air. T. Ross, who has been five times Mayor
of Hastings. The testimonial, which was subscribed for by
all classes in the town, consisted of a massive silver salver,
together with a tea and coffee service.

M. Louis Rozsavolgyi, jeweller, was, on Tuesday, fined £5
and costs for pledging a brooch value £200, the property of a
gentleman named La Jeunesse, by whom it had beon intrusted
to him to be made up. The magistrates acquitted tho pawn¬
brokers of all blame, and ordered the brooch to be restored to
the owner.

Against the protest of many influential friends, the share¬
holders in the Civil Sendee Supply Association have, by a large
majority, agreed that the profits of the business be divided,
instead of being applied, as heretofore, to reducing the prices
of the commodities sold. Several gentlemen of note have in
consequence retired from the committee of management.

The thirty-second annual ball of the friends of the French
Benevolent Society took place, on Aionday, at Willis’s Rooms.
A large number of ladies and gentlemen, including the Comte
de Paris and Al. Garrard (Minister Plenipotentiary of the French
Embassy), were present. The institution was founded in 1842,
by the Comte de St. Auliere, for the purpose of affording tem-

E orary relief to distressed foreigners in search of employment.

fining the evening a number of presents, received from influ¬
ential supporters of the charity, were disposed of by means of a
lottery held in one of the ante-rooms.

Last week 2363 births and 1597 deaths were registered in
London. After making due allowance for increase of popula¬
tion, the births were 1S7 and the deaths 90 below the
average numbers in the corresponding week of the Last ten
years. The deaths included 4 from smallpox, 53 from measles,
14 from scarlet fever, 4 from dijdithcria, 71 from whooping-
cough, 31 from different fonn3 of fever, and 7 from diarrhoea.
The deaths referred to diseases of the respiratory organa and
phthisis, which in the two previous weeks had been but 464
and 512, further rose last week to 607, and exceeded the cor¬
rected weekly average by 40 ; 274 resulted from bronchitis, 177
from phthisis, 103 from pneumonia, and 20 from asthma. The
fatal cases of pneumonia showed the largest proportional excess.
Different forms of violence caused 52 deaths : 41 were the
result of negligence or accident, including 18 from fractures and
contusions, 8 from burns and scalds, 5 from wounds, and 10
from suffocation. Four cases of suicide and 2 of infanticide
were registered.

FRANCE.

(From our Correspondent in Paris.)

Thursday, Feb. 19.

The members of the Extreme Left of the Assembly will inter¬
pellate the Government thi3 afternoon concerning the applica¬
tion of the obnoxious new municipal law, and we are promised
another disorderly Parliamentary inClde such as the whilom
theatre of the Palais de Versailles so often witnesses. It is
generally believed that the Cabinet will come out of the struggle
victorious, but badly bruised. The manner in which the Loi
des Alaires has been carried into effect has excited general
indignation throughout the country. Upright and irre¬
proachable Republican functionaries have been removed
from their posts without the slighest pretext, and replaced by
Royalists and Bonapartists, whose appointment presages a re¬
turn to the corrupt practices of the Empire, and many of them
already openly announce their intention of compelling their
fellow-citizens to return the reactionary candidates at the next
elections. Innumerable protestations How in from every dc-
partmont; the municipal councils are preparing for open war
with the delegates of the Government; but the Due de Broglie
and his colleagues pursue their course heedless of the con¬
flagration they have kindled, which threatens to become very
general. They may obtain the support of the Assembly, but
they will never gain the confidence of the country, and their
ai biliary policy will eventually bring them the reward they
have done their best to deserve.

The protracted debate on the new taxes came to a close last
Saturday, the Assembly having agreed to increase the duty ou
sugar, to reimpose the duty on salt, and to tax pianos and
cheques. The electors of the department of Vaucluse are con¬
voked for March 1 to elect a deputy, and M. Ledru Rollin has
formally come forward as the Republican candidate. The
event has caused a considerable sensation, especially in Minis¬
terial circles, the Government straining every nerve to prevent
the election of the veteran democrat. It is rumoured that M.
Gambetta is not particularly pleased with M. Ledru Bollin’s
candidature, being jealous of any ascendency which the latter,
if elected, would be likely to gain over the extreme Republican
party. M. John Lemoinne has been urging on the Government,
in the columns of the Journal des Vtbats, the withdrawal of
the French frigate Orenoque from Civita V r ecchia.

Tbe Duo de Padone, who is endeavouring to organise a for¬
midable Bonapaitist demonstration on the occasion of the
Prince Imperial's ensuing birthday, has been soundly taken to
task’ by the Journal de JParis, which points out, sensibly
enough, that the Second Empire lost Franco Alsace and
Lorraine, and that the third would most probably lose it
Fran che-Conte.

The Carnival, which is just over, lias been unusually dull
and glcomy this year. The rain poured incessantly during the
three days — Les jours gras, as our French neighbours call
them—and the few bals masques announced were but thinly
attended. The discontinuance of the traditional bceuf-gras
procession after the siege dealt the Carnival a severe blow, from
w hich it never recovered, and the recent burning of the Opera
House, where it was accustomed to be celebrated with music
and dancing, has been its coup-dc-giAce.

A grand ball is to bo given by the Parisian press in honour
of Marshal MacMaton, at the Palais de l'lndustrie, on March
15. The fete is to be strictly non -political, and, being especially
organised with the view of giving an impetus to Parisian trade
and commerce, which are sadly suffering just now, journals of
all shades of opinion have given in their adhesion to the pro¬
ject, and between £20,000 and £30,000 have already been
subscribed to cany it into effect. The gorgeous gatherings of
the Tuileiics and the Hotel de Yille, under the Empire, it is
said, w ill be eclipsed by the splendour of this fete, to which no
has than 20,000 invitations will be issued.

The Palis Court of Appeal has been occupied during the
last few days with an action brought by a Captain Adeibert
de Bourbon, of the Dutch army, against the Count de
Cbambord, the object being the setting aside the certificate
which records the death of Louis XVII. iu the Temple. The
plaintiff is none other than the son of Naundorff, the clock-
maker and pseudo Due de Normandie, whoso pretensions
created such a sensation some fifty years ago. He and his
whole family are recognised as the descendants of Louis XVI.
and Marie Antoinette in Holland, where several of them
occupy State offices. M. Adeibert attends the sittings of the
Court clothed in evening dress, and salutes the spectators
as a King might his subjects. When ho arrives at the court
and when he leaves of an afternoon he is always preceded by
a huissier, who makes way for him through the crowd and
escorts him to his seat or to liis carriage. He is not unlike
Louis XVHL in features, and one of his daughters bears a
striking resemblance to Marie Antoinette. M. Jules Favre
pleads his case, which revives the old story of the escape of
the Dauphin from the Temple.

M. Raspail, the well-known Republican writer and phy¬
sician, has been condemned to two years’ imprisonment and
lOOOf. line, and his son to six months’ imprisonment and 500f.
fine, for having published in the Almanack Mtteorologique an
apologetic history of the Commune.

ITALY,

After a warm debate in the Chamber of Deputies, the
House, by a large majority, approved a motion, proceeding
from the Left and Centre, and accepted by the Ministry, for
passing to the discussion of the articles of the Government bill
relating to the paper currency.

SPAIN.

The siege of Bilbao by the Carlists continues, and Berga is
being bombarded. General Morioncs appears to have effected
a junction with General Primo de Rivera, and their combined
forces, 6000 strong, is posted on the heights of Sommorrostro.
The Carlists have twenty battalions to oppose them with, but
reinforcements are still being sent to Monones.

An engagement has taken place in Cuba between 3000 of
the troops and 5000 of the insurgents. The latter are said to
have been defeated.

GERMANY.

When the new military law for the empire came on for dis¬
cussion in the German Parliament, on Monday, Field Marshal

von Moltke made a speech in defence of the measure, in which
he said What we acquired in the space of six mouths
we shall have to protect by force of arms for half a century.
France is imitating all the German army arrangements ? How,
then, can we give up what our opponents are adopting?
Germany is opposed to any kind of offensive action : it is her
duty to act on the defensive.” Count von Moltke proceeded to
enumerate the measures taken by France for increasing her
armament, notwithstanding the fact that the majority of the
French people were convinced of the necessity of peace. .He
concluded by saying :—“ We have become a powerful nation,
but we remain a peaceable people. We require an army, but
not for purposes of conquest.” The Military Bill was then
refeired to a committee of twenty-eight members. The Military
Bill and Herr Schultze Delitsch r s motion relative to the remu¬
neration of the members passed the third reading on Wednesday.

The fifteen deputies from Alsace-Lorraine took their seats
on Monday in the German Reichstag. They entered in a body,
and placed themselves on the Extreme Right, next the table of
the Federal councillors. Seven of them wore clerical costume.
After an unsuccessful application on Wednesday for leave to
address the House in French, Herr Teuseli, in the name of the
deputies from Alsace-Lorraine, read a translation of his speech
in support of the motion for a plebiscite in the captured province
on the question of its incorporation with the German empire.
The langnage provoked loud cries of “ Shame 1” and the
motion was rejected by an overwhelming majority. The scene
ended by the Alsatians marching out of the House in a body.

A U.STRO -HUNGARY.

The bills announced in the Speech from the Throne respect¬
ing a reform in the system of taxation were introduced, on the
13th, in the Chamber of Deputies of the Austrian Reichsrath.
The most essential modifications are a more graduated scale of
progression in the assessment of the income tax, the taxation
of funded property which has hitherto enjoyed exemption, and
an extension of immunity from taxation in favour of newly-
built working men’s dwellings. The Ministerial bills further
enact that half of the members of the commission assessing taxes
be henceforth elected by the taxpayers themselves.

The Foreign Minister of Austro-Hungary has directed pre¬
parations to be made for an international congress on sanitary
matters and quarantine, to which he proposes to issue invita¬
tions to the Lowers.

BUSSIA.

By the arrival of the Austrian Emperor in St. Petersburg
a fresh impetus has been given to the festivities of the Russian
Court and capital. His Majesty arrived at St. Petersburg
yesterday week. He was met at the Gatschina station by the
Czar and Czarevitch, who escorted him to the city, where a
splendid state reception was given him. Among the distin¬
guished persons who joined iu his welcome were the Duke of
Edinburgh and Prince Arthur. The streets of St. Petersburg
were festively decorated, and the two Emperors, as they drove
together to the Winter Palace, were fervently cheered by the
people. On his arrival at the Winter Palace he paid his
respects to the Czarina, and was then conducted to the
Beimitage, where the two Imperial suites were pre¬
sented. The first day closed with a dinner en famille .
On Saturday the Emperor paid a visit to the tomb of
the late Czar, and laid upon it a wreath of laurel. Sub¬
sequently he held a diplomatic reception, which was attended
by all the Foreign Princes and foreign Ministers in
St. Petersburg. At night a state dinner was given by the
Czarevitch, and the day concluded with a state performance at
the opera. On Sunday the two Emperors amused themselves
with a military parade at the Riding School. In the evening a
state banquet was given at the Winter Palace, covers being
laid for over seven hundred. The Czar, in proposing the health
of his illustrious guest, coupled with it loving allusions to the
German Emperor and Queen Victoria. The friendship of the
four Sovereigns would, lie declared, preserve the peace of the
world. Iu alluding to Queen Victoria the Czar turned courte¬
ously towards the Prince of Wales, who bowed his thanks.
The Emperor Francis Joseph replied that he re-echoed those
gracious sentiments from the bottom of his heart. The Em¬
peror of Austria received the members of the diplomatic body
on Monday afternoon. Special audiences were given to
the Ambassadors and the Austrian Minister, the other
foreign representives being received in a body. His
Majesty dined with the Grand Duke Constantine and
the members of his family. A ball was given by the
Czarevitch, at which the Emperor Francis Joseph and
the distinguished foreign visitors were present. On Tuesday
the Austrian Emperor received a deputation from the inhabit¬
ants of St. Petersburg and Odessa, who presented on address.
The Emperor, together with the Russian officers in attendance
upon him and the members of the Legation, dined at four
o r clock, at the residence of the Austrian Minister. The Czar
has treated his Imperial and Royal guests to a bear-hunt. A
large party, including the Prince of Wales and the Grand
Dukes, travelled by special train to Mali Wichere on Tuesday
evening, and drove next morning to the Imperial forest, about
tw elve miles distant. Two bears were bagged, one of which
fell to the rifle of the Emperor of Austria. The party returnel
on Wednesday night to St. Petersburg, and was present at a
ball given by the club of the nobility.

The Globe correspondent at Berlin states that the Czar will
leave St. Petersburg at the beginning of the Russian April, aud
will be absent about a month. His Imperial Majesty will stay
in Berlin two days and in England eight days. He will also
attend the wedding of the Grand Duchess Vera of Stut^ardt.

Privy Councillor de Novikoff, the Russian Envoy* to the
Court of Vienna, and Baron de Langenau, the Austrian Envoy
to this capital, have been raised to the rank of Ambassadors.

Adjutant-General Count Liiders, one of the Russian heroes
of the Crimean campaign, has died, at the age of eighty-four.

PARLIA^IEN TAHY CHANGES.

No general election in the present generation, with the excep¬
tion of that of ISOS, has brought about so great a change in the
personnel of the House of Commons—to say nothing of political
variation—as that which has just concluded. The political re¬
action, caprice—what you will—lias in part operated to removing
two hundred and twelve members of the late House from the
present Parliament, though deduction must he made for volun¬
tary retirement. The action of tho election on the Government,
personally spea k ing, has been considerable, though it has not
reached the Cabinet in more than one instance. Even the return
of the Prime Minister was not a triumph, inasmuch as he was
second on the poll, the popular preference being for one of that
body of manufacturers of an article which does such eminent
service to the revenue through the medium of the Excise. But
tho most important and significant is that of 31 r. Chichester
Fortescue at Louth, In the first place, he is a painstaking
official, had weight with the Honse, and was believed to be
sage in council; and, in the second, his rejection is a testimony
to the growing fire of Home Rule in Ireland. And, here it may
be said parenthetically that there has not been the overwhelm¬
ing number of Home*Rulers elected ' as was expected ; but in
many cases the victories of this party have been notable. Thus it
is almost inconceivable that an Irish constituency should send to
the right-about one of the 1 ‘ whips, ” in the psrsonof Mr. Algernon
GrevilJe, who, if not the Patronage Secretary to the Treasury,
is so near him as to be a useful viaduct for those applications
for places in which the Irish members excel. To be sure,
when be was thrown out tho election had manifestly gone
against the Ministry, and it was certain that Mr. Ureville
would cease to hold office ; but still it was an instance of that
improvidence, which is said to be a national characteristic,
and on abstention from that gratitude which would have been
a Benee of favours to come in happier days of Liberalism, for
the sake of an idea. The putting out of Lord Otho Fitzgerald
from Kildare is intelligible for reasons into which it is not
necessary to enter ; but as an ornamental member—because lie
is apart of the Royal Household—his electoral fate is noticeable.

In the first speech which he made to the electors of Mid¬
dlesex Lord Enfield intimated that he had felt a desire to
retire from public life; so that tho Liberal constituency may
well be excused for not taking any particular trouble to vote
for him; and, moreover, the running of a second Liberal
candidate, instead of being contented to try for tho former
one-aud-one representation, was calculated to injure his
individual chances. A capable Undcr-Secrcfcary for Foreign
Affairs and a much respected member thus disappears
from the arena in which lie has for long moved, not un¬
distinguished. Some have attributed the rejection of the Lord
Advocate for Scotland to a desire to show resentmont for hia
action iu the case of the late Sheriff Bell; hut probably the
cause lay deeper. It is believed that he was not as sympathetic
and conciliatory with the Scottish members as some of hia pre¬
decessors in his high office, and insensibly this may have got into
the minds of the people, and his constituency in particular, and
operated ou his chances of success, “while it is by no means certain
that the Education Act for Scotland increased any popularity
which lie might have had amongst his fellow-countrymen. The
awkwardness of tho chief law officer of the Crown for Scotland
not jiaving a scat in Parliament will not now arise ; and, so far,
consolation may be derived from the caprice of tho electors of
Wigton. It may as well be said here that, for a wonder, a law
officer for Ireland has obtained a seat, 31 r. Hugh Law, tho
Solicitor-General, haying boen elected for Londonderry county.
Those who are familiar with the House will comprehend why
it should be thought that the rejection of Mr. Hibbsrt at
Oldham is a mistake ; because, before ho was an efficient official,
he was one of those members who, usually quiet and un¬
obtrusive. during the discussion of great measures, often came
forward with suggestions, which assumed especial and even
vital importance. As to the failure of Mr. Ayrton to retain
his seat for the Tower Hamlets, it is possible that it was much
more due to the feeling against the Gnveramont generally that
unquestionably prevaus than to personal objection, however
much that has been insisted on. It ia quite possible that if
he had been secure of hia place in the Government he would
have been again returned. However, ho, too, vanishes from
, the ecene in which he was a conspicuous figure, and liis
undoubted capability will perhaps be made available in a
different sphere.

Reference may perhaps be made cursorily to the departure
of some notable members. It is believed that Mr. Adair had
given up that attention to the private business of the House to
which he was once devoted, so that he may not be so much
missed as ho would have been a j'ear or two ago ; but having
until the end of last Session held so distinctive a place as
Chairman of Ways and Means Mr. Bonham-Carter’s disappear¬
ance will, so to speak, cause a distinctive vacuum. As an
arbitrator and adviser of the House, and of late as a
dangerous skirmisher on the Hank of the Government of
which be professed to be a follower, Mr. Bouverie was con¬
tinuously prominent, and by so much will his absence be
noticed by those who were his Parliamentary contempo¬
raries. By no means in other respects a member of mark,
Mr. Edgar Bowring achieved a reputation for being a most
persistent sitter and the most complete vote-giver in the
last Parliament; but probably in the next he will create no
recollection. The departure of Mr. Jacob Bright is not of
much consequence, for, though he occasionally strove, with
much travail, to bo original, his position in the House was of a
factitious and reflected character. A dogmatic Radical who
pushed himself into notoriety, Mr. CandJish lias, for some
reasons best known to himself, not sought re-election; while
the “didactic n Mr. Hylands, who seemed to think that he wa 9
the incarnation of political and legislative wisdom, has been
ousted at 'Warrington, and an ambitious attempt which lie
made on one of the divisions of Lancashire has been thoroughly
defeated. In Mr. Thomas Collins the House loses one of its
most jollify and good-humouredly turbulent members. Well
known, certainly, but it can hardly be said charmingly known,
was Mr. E. Craufurd, to whom the Ayr burghs has given his
cong<$; and the mirth of the House lias suffered some eclipse
by the vanishing of Mr. Deiahunty, who was so very amusing

when he thought he was mo it serious, Waterford not
having appreciated the distinction lie conferred on it by
representing it. Misfortune has come on Mr. It. N. Fowler and
31 r. W. Fowler respectively ; and, as one was a Conservative
and the other a Liberal, they balance each other in being out,
as they did when they were in. By reason of speaking on
every question, Mr. Eastwick made himself much known; but,
somehow, it may be thought that his absence will be endurable.
The veteran Sir George Grey had retired so much into the
shade for the last four years that his voluntary retirement from
Morpeth will hardly be noticed.

Of the three members who bore the name of Grosvenor who
were in the last Pailiament only one remains—Lord Richard,
who again sits for Flintshire ; his brother, the Hon. Norinau,
having not again wooed Chester ; and his cousin, the Hon.
Robert, having given up Westminster, probably thus having
avoided Westminster giving uphim. Two very aged members have
sought necessary’retirement—namely, Mr. Hadfield, of Sheffield,
and 31r. W. H. Barrow, of South Notts. Tyrone has done with
Lord Claud Hamilton, and so the House will know no more of
a remarkable elocutionist, of whom it may be said that “his
very body spake.” The merits, such as they were, of Mr.
Hardcastle, Mr, Headlam, and the undoubted ones of Lord
Henley, have not sufficed to save them from Parliamentary
extinction 5 and the dilettante Radical, Mr. Auberon-
Herbert, has committed self-extinction by not offering himself
for rc-elcction at Nottingham. Conspicuous, not the le 3 s for
his fitful appearances in debate, Sir Henry Hoare has found
Chelsea unai>preciative if not ungrateful; and 31 r. T. Hughes
has again shown the aptitude for retreating which has charac¬
terised his Parliamentary career. By not offering himself for
Gateshead, Sir William Hutt has deprived the House of one of
the few living and moving traditions of the first Reform Bill, and
the failure of Mr. Locke King to be re-elected for East Surrey
ia one of the most tangible proofs of the reaction which lias
given the whole representation of the county into the hands of
the Conservatives. In Mr. J. D. Lewis, who failed at Dovon-
port, a rising member lias been extinguished. The rejection of
31 r. Lyttelton for East Worcestershire may by soma be taken
as a girding personally at the Premier, to whom he is related.
In a particular sense, the impulsive and perpetual Mr. Macfia
will be missed as an involuntary supplier of constant mirth,
for Leith has not been true to him. A curious contest occurred
for the Inverness Burghs, no less than throe gentlemen of the
name of 31acintosb contended for its representation, suggesting
a raid of the clan Ohattan into tho district; and it happened
in the event that one Liberal replaced another, and the former
member disappears. Mr. Mi all did not seek re-election at
Bradford. Each in bis way a notability, Mr. Guildford
Onslow and 3Ir. Otway have been dismissed by their former
constituents ; and by putting him at the foot of the poll, with
a ridiculously small number of votes, the electors of Waterford
have extinguished the Parliamentary mime par excellence, Mr.
Bernal Osborne.

Of all the capricious constituencies at this time the con¬
stituency of Droitwitch has been the most capricious, in reject¬
ing Sir John Pakington. Two of three members of the family
of Rothschild who sat in the late House have passed out of it,
Baron Lionel of that name having been refused by the city of
London, and Baron 3reyer, who represented Hythe, having
died. * Sir Henry Storks did not offer himself for re-election at
Ripon, and he will not be seen in the new Parliament. A very
old and well-known member, Mr. J. B. Smith, did not seek to
sit again for Stockport. Colonel Tomline, as it were, fell
between two stools, having left Grimsby and failed in East
Suffolk ; and, amongst other more or less prominent repre¬
sentatives, Sir David Wedderburn, 3Ir. West, Sir Hedworth
Wiliamson. 31r. Wingfield Tinker, and Mr. Woods arc to ba
added to the list of discomfitures. The tenure of a seat by
Mr. Villiers Stuart for Waterford Countv has been brief ;
for he was only elected a few weeks Before the end of
last Session, when a vacancy occurred by the resignation of
Mr. De la Poer, and he has not sought re-election, though in a
single speech which ho delivered lie showed aptitude for
membership. Captain Trench, though he fought hard against
considerable odcls at the election which took place on 31 r.
Gregory being appointed Governor of Ceylon and on tho
petition which unseated Captain Nolan, has abandoned hi 3 scat,
this time not standing a contest. The county of Cavan has
forsaken 3Ir. Sauuderaon. the late Liberal member; while
the other late member, the Hon Hugh Annealey, a Con¬
servative, retired, and two new Liberal members sit iu their
stead.

These are but “ elegant extracts ” from the roll of changes,
but they are all illustrative of the temper of the coustitueu rie 3
in the election.

M. Quetelet, tho founder and director of the Brussels
Observatory, one of the most eminent among the scientific men
of Europe, died in Brussels on 3Ionday, aged seventy-seven.

Between the Parsees and the Nlohammedans in Bombay a
quarrel has arisen, in consequence of a Parsee publication re¬
flecting on tbe character of Mohammed, and several Parsees
have been injured.

Among the passengers by the steamer State of Alabama,
which arrived at Liverpool on Sunday from New Orleans, was
Mr. Jefferson Davis. He had been directed by liis physician to
take a sea voyage for the benefit of his health.

At a meeting of the Birmingham Hospital governors on
Wednesday, 3Ir. Richard Peyton, the orchestral steward, paid
over the last instalment of money realised in aid of the hospital
by last year’s musical festival. Tho total amounted to
£0577 11s. fid. The chairman of tho meeting said the festival
had been the most successful on record.

A special telegram from Khartoum possesses considerable
interest in connection with the recent mission of Sir Samuel
Baker in the Upper Nile country. A slave-hunting incursion
of the Darfoorians into the newly-acquired Egyptian, territory
brought about a pitched battle, on the 28th ulfc., in which tho
troops of the Sultan of Darfoor, 10,000 strong, were completely
routed by the forces of tho Khedive, who now, it is said, has
determined to enter Darfoor in force, to put an end to the slave
trade in these parts.

The new volumes of DcbrdCs Illustrated Peerage and
Illustrated Baronetage and KniglUage for the year 1S74
have been published in good time for the needful me of their
information during the season of Parliamentary and fashionable
society now commencing. Their records of living personal and
family connections of the aristocracy have been corrected to the
20 th ult. The compact single volume of Bod's Peerage,
Baronetage, and Knightage {with Courtesy Titles) of Great
Britain and Ireland is also ready, and will be found extremely
serviceable. It specifies with minute precision a variety of
particulars relating to birth and parentage, school and uni¬
versity education, professional or official employments, public
services and honorary distinctions. The arrangement is very
convenient for reference, and there are several treatises upm
matters of precedence or etiquette.

FEB * 21 , 1874

FINE AETS.

The Queen has conferred on Mr. Oswald Brierly the appoint¬
ment of Marine-Painter in Ordinary to her Majesty, vacant by
the death of Mr. Schetky. Mr. Brierly ha 3 often made long
ocean voyages in different parts of the globe, and has studied
all that Ijelongs to ships, both at sea and in the dockyards.
He went to Australia in Mr. Benjamin Boyd s yacht, the
Wanderer, then joined Captain Owen Stanley’s naval survey¬
ing expedition in H.M.S. Rattlesnake, in the Norfcli Austral¬
asian archipelagos, and was afterwards in the Alexander, with
Captain (now Admiral) Keppel, in various parts of the Pacific.
During the Russian War Mr. Brierly was with our fleet in the
Baltic, on board the St. Jeanne d’Acre, and contributed many
sketches to the Illustrated London Hews, representing the cap¬
ture of Bomarsnnd and other actions. He was afterwards with
our Black Sea fleet, and at tho siege of Sebastopol, for which
he received the war medals. He attended the Royal yacht at
the Spithcad naval review, to make sketches by the Queen’s
command. In 1864 he accompanied the Duke of Edinburgh’s
cruise, in the Raccoon, to the coast of Norway and the Loffodon
Islands. He was privileged afterwards to be one of the Duke
of Edinburgh’s suite on board the Galatea, commanded by his
Royal Highness, in his voyages round tho world. In 1869 ho
was attached to the suite of tho Prince and Princess of Wales,
in their trip up the Nile and to the Crimea. Mr. Brierly has
made a large number of drawings for her Majesty and their
Royal Highnesses. He has exhibited some at the rooms of the
Ola Water-Colour Society, which elected him a member iu
IS72; alBo at the International Exhibition. We have pub¬
lished engravings of several of these works.

The council of the Society of Arts have resolved to offer the
society’s gold and Bilver medals in connection with the Inter¬
national Exhibition of 1874. A gold and a silver medal is
offered in each class, and these medals will be given for any
object exhibited which, in the opinion of the council, shows
paramount or very great excellence, whether in respect of the
final result, the machinery or method of production, or novelty.

Mr. Mitchell, of Bond-street, has sent us three lithographs
of their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh.
The one representing the Royal pair together is likely to be
the most popular.

The officers of the Print-Room at the British Museum have
been lately occupied in arranging an interesting and extensive
collection of studies, designs, and sketches by Hilton, which
were given to the nation some time ago.

The annual Exhibition of Selected Water-Colour Drawings
by Deceased and Living Artists, at Messrs. Agncw’s gallery,
in Waterloo-plaee, was opened on Monday last. The collec¬
tion, though not large, attains and maintains almost throughout
a very high standard of merit. The examples are, with few
exceptions, of choice quality ; and so widely and generally, so
adequately representative are they, that the gallery affords an
instructive compendium of the history of British water-colour
art at its liest.

Her Majesty’s Commissioners for the London International
Exhibition, 1874, request information as to the present pos¬
sessors of pictures by the following artists:—J. Coney, who
died in 1833; J. S. Cotman, in 1842 ; A. W. Pugni, in 1832;
and F. Mackenzie, in 1842. The subjects of the pictures by
these artists arc for the most part architectural.

An elaborate and massive marble monument of the late
Captain Vaughan, R.N., C.B., who so greatly distinguished
himself in the Black Sea before Sebastopol, and more recently
as chief in command of the Naval Brigade at the relief of
Lucknow during the Indian Mutiny, designed by Mr. E. J.
Pliysick, has been erected near Dublin.

The Lord Lieutenant and Countess Spencor opened the
Exhibition of the Royal Hibernian Academy on Monday.
Their Excellencies pronounced the Exhibition the best they
had ever seen in Ireland.

A statue of John Bunyan, tho author of the “ Pilgrim’s
Progress,” who was a native of Bedford, is about to be given
to that town by tho Duke of Bedford. The sculptor is Mr.
E. J. Boehm. It has been cast in bronze by Messrs. Young
and Co., of Pimlico. The figure is 10 ft. high, upon a pedestal
raised 7 ft., and ornamented with four bas-reliefs of subjects
from the “Pilgrim’s Progress.”

On March 6 next year it is intended to celebrate at Florence
the 400th anniversary of tho birth of Michael Angelo Bnona-
rotti. Meanwhile, the committee appointed for the purpose of
this celebration are desirous of forming as complete a catalogue
as possible of the works of the great master. With this laud¬
able object in view they appeal to English collectors for aid.
The committee announce that they would be very grateful to
the possessors of any drawings, terra-cottas, or other works by
Michael Angelo, if those possessors would forward a list of the
same to the care of the Italian Legation, London. We may
add that such a catalogue of the master’s acknowledged and
reputed works would facilitate the production of a more critical
as well as more complete accoimt of Michael Angelo’s works
and life than we at present possess.

The National Picture Gallery in Berlin, after remaining for
several years without any additions, has just received an
accession of twenty-seven new pictures, some of them of con¬
siderable importance, the result of a Parliamentary grant of
200,000 thalers. The most interesting picture, historically
considered, is a lifeaize painting of “Pan with Nymphs and
Shepherds,” by Luca Signorelli, the precursor of Michael
Angelo, and whose remarkable remaining frescoes in the
Cathedral of Orvieto mark a distinct step in early Italian art.
The picture, which was purchased in Florence, is believed to
be the only extant example of this artist in a profane subject
and on canvas. Among other additions of importance are
examples of Lorenzo Leonbmno, Schiavoni, Moroni, Velasquez
(a fine portrait, supposed to be of Alessandro del Borro, a
famous captain in the service of Ferdinand II. of Tuscany, and
afterwards of Philip IV. of Spain), Nicholas Poussin, lluysdael,
and Cuyp.

One of the first acts of the Marquis de Chennevicres, the
new Director of Fine Arts in France, is the foundation
of a new art-school, designed to be intermediate between the
Ecole des Beaux Arts (which corresponds to our Royal Academy
school) and other art-schools already open in the various arron-
dissements of Paris. In the new scuool students will be taught
different brandies of art as applied to industry—such as paint¬
ing on porcelain, painting on glass, artistic photography, copy¬
ing of pictures, wood carving, &c.

Mr. Milmore, a promising young American sculptor at
Romo, has executed a bust of the Pope, of which report speaks
in high terms.

Both the interior and exterior of the cathedral of Stras-
burg are almost entirely restored. The new Palace of Justice
is completed, and the new Prefecture mikes rapid progress.

A bronze statue of the German painter Cornelius, by Herr
Donndorf, is to be erected at Dtlaseldorf.

It is announced that there will be an international exhi¬
bition at Geneva next year. The building will mclude a huge
dome, to be the largest of its kind ; and a special feature will
be a colossal column in the interior, from which visitors wiu
have a bird’s-eye view of tho whole of tho exhibition, ana a
panorama of Lake Leman, the mountains of the Jura, thebwiss
Alps, and Mont Blanc. The exhibition will be close to the
lake, and piers will project into the water. On these will be
erected summer-houses and refreshment-rooms.

“OTHELLO AND DESDEMONA.”

The picture by Mr. W. S. Herrick which we have engraved was
in the last exhibition at the Royal Academy, and in the cata¬
logue of that exhibition are quoted, in connection with the title
of 1the picture, the words of Othello, “My life upon her faith,”
which serve to recall the exact moment of the tragedy here
rendered so sympathetically. To realise more fully the pathetic
situation, ana, as certainly, the best possible commentary on
the picture, we will also give a few preceding and following
lines. It will be remembered that the Moor is commanded by
the Duke of Venice to immediately undertake the defence of
Cyprus against the Turks or “ Ottomites ; ” that he is to start
that very night; and that it has been arranged between
Othello and Desdcmona that she shall follow the fortunes of
her lord as soon as possible. Othello is now leaving the
council chamber, where he has made his noble apology for
having wedded Desdemona, and he has even somewhat pacified
her father, though the querulous parent cannot refrain from
casting a parting reproach at his undutiful daughter. The
Duke, addressing the Moor, says :—

Othello, leave some officer behind.

And he shall our commission bring to you ;

With such things else of quality and respect
As doth import you.

Oth. Please your Grace, my ancient :

A man he is of honesty and trust:

To his conveyance I assign my wife,

With what clge needful your good Grace shall think
To bo sent after me.

Du ke. Let it be so.

Good-night to everyone! And. noble Signior, [To Brabantio
If v.rtue no delighted beauty lack,

Your aon-in-law is far more fair thin black.

1 Senator. Adieu, brave Moor! Use Desdemona well.

Bra. Look to her, Moor ! Have a quick eye to see ;

She has deceived her father, and may thee.

[Exeunt Duke, Sc tut tors, Officer <*, Ac.

Oth. My l\fe upon her faith ! Honest Iigo,

My De?demona must I leave to thee ;

I pr’ytbee, let thy wife attend on her.

And bring them after in the best advantago.

Come, Desdomona, I have but an hour
Of love, of worldly matter and direction,

To spend with thee: we must obey the time.

[Exeunt Othello and Detdcmona.

We have only to add that Mr. Herrick’s picture, which has
the merits of grace and nobleness of expression in a high
degree, is now in the exhibi tion at Glasgow.

THE CHURCH.

MUSICAL PUBLICATIONS.

Messrs. Stanley Lucas, Weber, and Co. have just published
Mr. G. A. Macfarren ’8 new oratorio, “ St. John the Baptist,” in
a neat, portable, large octavo volume, at the moderate price of
four shillings. The successful production of the work at last
year’s Bristol Festival was recorded by us at the time. We
lately noticed its equally favourable reception at Manchester.
That these provincial successes arc genuine is proved by the
acceptance of the work for performance in London at the next
concert of the Sacred Harmonic Society, on Feb. 27. The same
firm has also issued, in similar form, Schumann’s “ Requiem,”
one of his latest works (op. 148), and containing much that is
characteristic of the composer’s individuality. In both these
publications the vocal score is given complete, and the orches¬
tral accompaniments are represented by a skilful adaptation for
the pianoforte.

Messrs. R. Cocks and Co. are among the most plentiful
providers of drawing-room music, both vocal and instrumental.
Of the former kind we have from them several pleasing songs
and ballads. “ Lost in the Wilderness,” by Franz Abt, is an
impressive piece of a sacred character, and will suit a mezzo-
soprano or baritone voice of moderate compass. Mr. J. L.
Molloy’s “The Ride ” is a spirited song that admits of
effective declamation ; and “ The Brook and the Wave ” (by the
same) has considerable grace. Another well-known name is
that of Mr. Alfred Scott Gatty, whose song, “Only a passing
thought,” will not detract from his reputation. Mr. T.
Wrigh ton’s two songs, “ The Blessing of Flowers ” and
“ What Chants the Nightingale,” have well-defined melodies,
and will please both singers and hearers. Mr. Louis Diehl has
produced several very successful songs, with which his “Dear
England ” (to some patriotic lines by Dr. Charles Mackay) may
well be paralleled.

Messrs. Duff and Stewart are also active caterers for draw¬
ing-room vocalists and pianists. Tho former will find Mr. E.
L. Hime’s song, “I’m a fairy free and light,” worthy their
attention. “Nellie” (written and composed by M. E.
Glover) is a pleasing, simple ditty that will make its effect, if
properly interpreted. Of Mr. W. C. Levey’s “The Magic
Spell ” it is sufficient to say that it lias been repeatedly sung
with success by Miss Russell at Drury-Lane Theatre. Miss
Virginia Gabriel’s song, “The Haunted Chamber,” to Long¬
fellow’s words, has a dreamy, legendary character well suited
to its subject. Among their other merits, all the songs above
referred to have that of lying within a moderate compass of
voice. “Romance” and “Impromptu Polka,” both by R.
Winternitz, are two effcotive pianoforte pieces. The first
affords good practice for left-hand arpeggios, and the other is a
lively dance movement in the style implied by the title.

“ Tlie Maiden’s Sigh, ” reverie for the pianoforte, by Lillie
Albrecht (Duncan Davison and Co.), is a graceful little piece
by a juvenile pianist whose clever performances have lately
attracted much attention. The same publishers have also
issued a pretty vocal duet, “ Evening(with French and
English words), the music by Hen* Reickardt, who i 3 favour¬
ably known both as a performer and a producer of vocal pieces.
/t £ “A yin ter Song,” written and composed by Mrs. Harvey
(J. B. Cramer and Co.), evinces uico poetical taste and much
feeling for melody. The voice part lies within moderate com¬
pass, and the accompaniment is easy. The B natural in the
latter (last bar of the third line, and afterwards in repetition)
is probably an engraver’s error ; and the harmonic progression
between the ninth and eighth bars from tho close of each verse
needs revision.

NEW BOOKS.

AMONG THE MUSES.

Variety is a very noticeable quality in the contents of On Viol
and Flute, by Edmund W. Gosse (Henry S. King and Co. ).
The author himself divides his book into three distinct portions,
labelled respectively allegro, andante, and adagio ; and in each
division he plays some pleasant, dreamy pieces on his chosen
instruments. There are in the very title both softness and
quaintness, and the softness and quaintnes3 permeate nearly
all the compositions. Howbeit, not everybody will be able to
catch the author’s meaning or to derive more pleasure than a
listener might receive from a graceful fantasia when the
original air is quite strange to the nearer, or the theme is not
clearly marked by the executant. The author, probably, has
some definite ideas ; but it is not every reader to whom they
will appear other than hazy, indistinct, intangible, inapprehen¬
sible. To many a mind they will present a picture like the
merely ornamental pattern upon an elegant article of dress,
or the figures produced by twirls of the kaleidoscope.
Of colour, of form, of harmony, there are abundance; but
what, if anything, there is of moral purpose, intellectual
enlightenment, spiritual interpretation, or poetic story, is not
so plainly discernible. The author has clearly an eye and
a heart for Nature at all seasons and under all aspects ; a store
of fancies and a power of trilling them forth; a vein of
romantic sentiment and a due sense of the bliss that rhymes to
khs. So far we can all go with him and enjoy liis songs ; but
in the effusions, and they are many, in which he appears to
be in a sort of didactic, or enigmatical, or allegorical, or phau-
tasmagorical, or prophetical, or simply emotional mood, it
will not bo easy for ordinary rentiers to discover the purpose.
In a clever “study in grotesque,” entitled “The Mandrakes,”
the author apostrophises, with eloquent admiration, the cele¬
brated Blake, poet and painter ; and that fact speaks volumes.
“Like master, like man;” and, whatever Blake may have
been, he was certainly not easily understood.

Easy, flowing verse, with spirit and rigour stirring it—like
a rapid, rushing stream with a goodly wind to ripple it — carries
one cheerily through thegreater part of Waves and Cares ; and
ot/tcr Poms, by Cave Winscom (Basil Montagu Pickering) ;
and it is not until a perusal of the principal and most ambitious
attempt in the whole collection has made a highly favourable
impression that one is confronted bv what is generally con¬
sidered the melancholy and fatal fact that the author has
written a prize-poem. One great charm which the writer
p Diseases is the faculty of making himself intelligible to
the meanest capacity ; and another is the art of com¬
bining simplicity with considerable fervour of expression.
Metrical and other mcch&nieal appliances he manages with no
small skill and with a wise regard for those occasional breaks
and changes of rhythm which afford relief and keep attention
alive. Tne longest poem bears a sort of family resemblance to
“ The Corsair ” and similar romantic tales narrated in the form
of verse : and to those who are weary of the aesthetic, brooding,
contemplative, analytical, metaphysical, and purely thoughtful
styles so much in vogue at the present day it is quite delightful
to get afloat again with the handsome but lawless yoimg rover
of the seas, and commence once more a career of activity and
even crime, so that it be followed by remorse and repentance.
There is plenty of movement and excitement in the scenes and
deeds ; and the verses are correspondingly instinct with life
and fire and, where the theme requires it, with tenderness. Some
of the smaller poems are pretty, graceful, vivid, tuneful, though
they cannot be called strikingly originaL

If covers could confer immortality, there wouldbe a very fair
chance for Arlon Grange , and a Christmas Legend, by William
Alfied Gibbs (Provost and Co.), whereof the white and gold on
the exterior are enough to constitute that thing of Beauty
which, as we have been very and almost too frequently
infoimed, is a joy for ever . The author, in some introductory
verses, gives cheerful, good-humoured permission to whosoever
feels inclined to blame iiiin, condemn his style, laugh afc liis
limping muse, say “Nothing, surely, could be worse,” doubt
bis reasons, abuse his rhymes, maltreat him in evory imagin¬
able manner, but pleads, “Prithee, do not tell my story/” So
he it. The story shall be untold, but it is not necessary,
likewise, to take advantage of the liberal leave granted in other
respects. It i 3 bare justice to say that a simple but romantic
tale, in which Love fulfils his part triumphantly and a sanguinary
duel is fought in the melodramatic Btylc by moonlight, is
fctndghtfoiw ardly, pleasantly, and even forcibly told in more
than tolerable blank verse, and that the blank verso, which
serves as a vehicle for the conveyance of a great many good,
wholesome, graceful, and noble sentiments, is agreeably io¬
ta lupted by some pretty, unaffected bursts of song, tastefully
arranged as regards metro and rhyme.

The student it is whose possible desires and requirements were
chiefly consulted in the compilation of English Sonnets : edited by
John Dennis (Henry S. King and Co.) ; for it is stated, and
truly no doubt, that sonnets are not such compositions as one
would care to read one after another without stint; must be
studied at intervals and without haste ; and contain a wealth
which, in consequence of condensation and other special qualities,
is not often to be acquired without long inspection and some toil.
From the first half of the sixteenth century to the latter half
of the nineteenth, from the Earl of Surrey to Alexander Smith,
through the long space of more than three hundred years, the
editor has hunted up sonnets ; but for reasons given, of j more
or lesB weight, living writers have not been called upon for
contributions. Men differ so, that of course some sonnets will
be said to have been undeservedly admitted and others equally
undeservedly excluded ; but it is possible to comfort oneself in
such case with a reflection similar to that which was so conso¬
latory to the gentleman who held that in England justice was
done on the whole, because, though a great many people who
ought to have been acquitted were found guilty, still a great
many who ought to have been found guilty w^ere acquitted. At
any rate, the student of sonnets wrul find in the collection
enough, and more than enough, to begin upon, and in the
notes some helpful hints and quotations.

A combination of the peculiar gifts for which Job and
Belteshazzar are still respectively celebrated would, perhaps,
enable one to discover quite a galaxy of poetical beauties in the
volume which an anonymous writer has published under
the title of Cosmos (Henry S. King and Co.). Even common
flesrh and blood, with a tendency towards irritability, cannot
fail to acknowledge that the anonymous author is good enough
to occasionally diversify his dark and mysterious utterances
w ith luminous and happy expressions, and relieve the syntac¬
tical ErebuB with bright examples of perfectly plain con-
sti notion ; but, on the whole, nine readers out of ten are likely
to experience such a sense of bewilderment as generally super¬
venes upon an oracular remark or a remark made in oracular
language. Under the circumstances, it would, of course, be
ram to make any positive statement as to the contents of the
poem. There is reason, however, to believe that the author,
under the pretext of a brotherly discourse addressed to the as
yet unborn poet of the future, delivers a lecture concerning all

creation, animate and inanimate, past, present, and to como.
Facts (or fictions) connected with tho Oologies” and the
“ olegists ” are naturally introduced, and hopes are held out of
a good time coming, when posterity will know

What takes a star like Sirius,

Big as a thousand times our mighty sun.

To gravitation self-impervious,

Ana keeps it shooting space as lightnings run.

Perhaps it will at the same time be known whether anybody or
anything can be said to be “ impervious ” to “ gravitation; ”
and whether a license will be required for “shooting space.”
It should be added that the 1 ecture is written in lines of ten
syllables each, save in the few cases in which there are
one or two more or less ; and that, though they are “ rhymed
tens,” the usual restrictions as to the number and order of lines
rhyming together are not adhered to.

The author of “The Art of Pluck” would probably have
written something, if he had attempted versification, better
than Lays of Modern Oxford, by Adon ; illustrated by M. E.
Edwards, F. Lockw'ood, and the Author (Cliapman and Hall);
and the author of “Mr. Verdant Green ” might be expected to
be about “bracketed” with “Adon.” In other words, tho
“lays” are such as would deservedly be termed “deuced
good” by very young undergraduates, or “not at all bad,” by
the don to whom Oxford is all the world, and who relishes tho
very smallest joke with a savour of “Oxford mixture.” The
versification, in which several well-known styles are parodied,
is good enough; and the lost “lay” is elegant and pathetic,
On the whole, however, the verses are very little above dog¬
gerel ; but the illustrations have a great deal of spirit and cha¬
racter and are very amusing, but by no moans numerous.

LAW AND POLICE.

TRIAL OF THE TICHBORNE CLAIMANT FOR PERJURY.

The Lord Chief Justice dealt, yesterday week, with the de¬
fendant’s proceedings in getting up the action of ejectment.
The questions specialised referred to defendant’s non-recog¬
nition of his relations at the Law Institution ; the getting up of
the affidavits in his favour; Major Fraser’s snuff-box; the
defendant’s prevarication as to the Chili commission; his
sudden return from Rio; and his correspondence with tho
Ortons, which the Lord Chief Justice showed had been
dropped, and resumed again when the Orton theory was intro¬
duced. The defendant’s letter to Lady Tichborne, in which ho
announced the receipt of a lock of his hair from Mglipilla, was
set before the jury as a matter w'hich, if credited by them
aga’nst his subsequent denial, would decide the case. Once or
twice Mr. Holmes’s conduct as defendant’s adviser demanded
remark from his Lordship. His connivance at the manufacture
of affidavits was declared discreditable to him professionally ;
and his inducing the defendant to sign a will at Southampton,
before starting for Chili, was pronounced disreputable. To¬
wards the close of the sitting the learned Judge entered upon
the question, which ho remarked was one of the main issues,
whether the defendant was or was not Arthur Ortou. Ou this
point, he said, the most important w'ifcnes3 was Mary Ann
Loder, who, haring felt an attachment for Arthur Orton, was
not likely to forget his features, and w T ho, not being likely wil¬
fully to state what was not true, had told them that the
defendant was that person.

On Monday, his Lordship, in continuing his summing up,
resumed that part of it which dealt with the evidence hearing
on the identity or non-identity of the defendent with Arthur
Orton. He commented at some length on the incidents of
Orton’s residence at Melipilla, and quoted portions of tho
Castro correspondence as throwing considerable light upon this
part of the case. After drawring the attention or the jury to
the testimony as it affected the movements of the defendant in
other places ; and, having referred to the circumstances sur¬
rounding the defendant’s marriage, the mailing of the Wagga-
Wagga will, and the Richardson letter, the learned Judge
glanced at the evidence for the defence so far as it bore upon
the defendant’s identity with Orton. The Court adjourned
until Wednesday, in consequence of some important business
obligation of one of the jurors.

In his exposure of discrepancies in tho evidence for the
defence on the Orton question, the Lord Chief Justice, on Wed¬
nesday, showed that Janes, Gardner, Poole, and other wit¬
nesses who professed to have known Arthur Orton in Aus¬
tralia, were contradicted bv the actual record of his move¬
ments, and even by the defendant’s own statement. Tho
occurrence of Arthur 0lion’s hieroglyphic in defendant’s early
letters was pressed upon the notice of the jury ; also the entry
in the Wagga Wagea pocket-book about tho arrival of
“ R.C.T.” in Hobart Town. Sharp censure was parsed upon
Mr. Guildford Onslow r ’s championsnip of the defendant. Mr.
Biddulph’s account of liis first inter view with the defendant,
and! the test questions he put about Roger and ho having
smoked together in an hotel at Bath, was scrutinised with a
view to show that neither were the questions so unexpected nor
the answers so spontaneous as appeared at first sight. ^ Revert¬
ing to the evidence respecting Roger Tichborne’s physique, his
Lordship suggested strong doubts about the reality of the
twitch in the lace and other peculiarities ascribed to Inin.

On Thursday the Lord Chief Justice continued his analysis
of the evidence of the Hampshire witnesses. He reviewed the
evidence given by Charles Lewis, the linendraper’s apprentice
at Alresford, and next dealt with the statements of the Upton
witnesses. Coming to MisB Braine, he said he thought heavier
ordnance had been directed against her than the importance of
the case demanded. With respect to Mr. Bulpott, the banker,
liis Lordship thought that, except as to tho sealed packet, his
evidence was not of much moment. Having briefly commented
on the evidence given by Lady Burrows, his Lordship passed to
the defendant’s C'arabinier witnesses, and said that several
officers who had made affidavits in hri favour had not been
called, and that Sir Talbot Constable, Mr. Marx, and others,
called at the last trial, had not appeared in the box.

Baron Amphlctt was “rung out ” of Lincoln’s Inn yester¬
day week, after a breakfast given in the hall of that honourable

Mr. Palles, the Irish Attorney-General, has accepted the
vacant office of Chief Baron of the Irish Court of Exchequer.

Mr. H. B. Poland, of the Home Circuit, has been appointed
Recorder of Dover, in succession to Sir W. Bodkin, who ha3
resigned the office on account of ill health ; Mr. Chapman
Barber has been appointed Judge of the County Courts in the
East, West, and North Ridings, in succession to Mr. W. llaines,
deceased ; and Mr. J. S. Dugdale, of the Midland Circuit, has
been appointed Recorder of Grantham, in succession to Mr.
J. W. Alellor.

Mr. Harrison, of Clifton Hampden, has obtained, in the
Court of Exchequer, a verdict of £43 against the Great
Western Railway Company for the value of a portmanteau lost

by the defendants. Ho w r as travelling on their line to Birming¬
ham, in August last, and in going to the luggage-van to claim
his portmanteau a lady stopped him to ask a question. Ho was
detained about a minute, and on reaching tlio van his port¬
manteau was gone, having been carried off by another
passenger. The verdict was for the full value of the property

An action was tided, yesterday w’eek, in tho court of
Exchequer, in w r hich the plaintiff, Margaret Skettler, a fruiterer
and florist in Oxford-street, sought to recover from the widow
of Sir David Salomons and ms nephew, Sir Lionel David
Salomons, the sum of £96 for various articles, including
bouquets, nectarines, and asparagus, alleged to have been pur¬
chased at the shop, and never paid for, by the deceased Baronet.
The claim w as resisted on the ground that it was quite incon¬
sistent with the characteristic habit3 of the deceased to sup¬
pose that he incurred such a debt for such articles. The
present Baronet, who was examined, saicl liis uncle was most
punctual in his payments, and that ho and tho widow had
made a careful search through all the deceased’s papers, and
could find no record or memorandum relating to what formed
the ground of the claim. The jury stopped tho evidence by
saying that they had made up their minds ; and a verdict was
returned for the defendants.

An American courier. Cooper Grant, who was charged at
the Mansion House with embezzling £325 belonging to his em¬
ployer, Mr. N. W. Hunt, pleaded guilty, restored part of the
money, and escaped with six months’ hard labour.

For the forgery on Messrs. Baring Brothers, Antonio
Antoniadis, the young Greek, w 7 as, ou Alonday, committed for

Before Mr. Newton, at Marlborough-street, on Tuesday,
Mr. Charles Semple, late of the 93rd Highlanders, was charged
with a serious assault on Mr. Frisby, a stockbroker, and was
remanded on heavy bail.

Mr. Arthur Forster, Government clerk, who is under com¬
mittal for trial at the Central Criminal Court for au assault on
an hotel-keeper in Piccadilly, was, yesterday week, bailed out
by his friends. Mr. Alderman Carter accepted two sure¬
ties in £1000 each, and Mr. Forster’s own recognisances in
£ 2000 .

Mr. Arthur Walker, of Pembroke-road, Kensington, has
had to pay £5 and costs for haring a dog at large without proper

and bit him severely in the leg.

A youth of seventeen, who had thrown a ginger-beer bottlo
from the gallery of the Elephant and Castle Theatre, and
struck an occupant of the pit wdth the missile, wras sentenced
at Lambeth, on Wednesday, to a month’s imprisonment, with
hard labour.

Several milk-dealers were, on Wednesday, fined at tho
Wolverhampton Police Court in various sums, varying from £1
to £5, for selling adulterated milk.

A desperate case of burglary has occurred at Colchester.
Four men who had broken into Mr. Stannard’s mill were sur¬
prised by the arrival of the owner, with his foreman and two
sons. Several shots were fired by the burglars, which Mr.
Stonnard returned. One burglar was captured.

JOHN CHRISTIAN SCHETKY.

This artist, who (lied on tho 29th ult., at the great age of
ninety-five, had almost passed out of the memory of tho pre¬
sent generation, though he was a favourite marine-painter of
George IV., William IV., “the sailor king,” and her present
Majesty ; and though liis lifo was marked by many interesting
associations, our space will not permit us to dwell upon them.
He came of an ancient Transylvaniau family, and on tho
mother’s side ho was related to the artist family of Re in agio.
He was the contemporary, at the High School of Edinburgh,
of Walter Scott, Lord Brougham, Leonard and Francis
Horner, and others who were afterw ards the great men of their
day. When a boy, Robert Bums, his father’s friend, begged
him off a flogging for playing truant to sail toy ships at Leith.
“ Christopher North ’^mentions him more than once in “Noctcs
Ambrosiana*.” In after life Sir Walter Scott and he were
intimate friends, and among bis companions were tho
Ettrick Shepherd, Sir William Allen, Sir Charles Paget,
Lord Lyons, Clarkson Stanfield, and David Roberts.
At seventeen he was already earning his living by teaching
a ;ene-painting. In 1801 lie and his friend Francis Homo
(afterwards, as Colonel Horne of the Guards, the bravo
defender of Hougoumont) walked from Paris to Rome, and
accomplished the last 104 miles in two days. On
his return from Italy he took up his residence at Oxford as a
teacher of painting. Subsequently he was successively Pro¬
fessor of Drawing at the Royal Military College at Marlow
(now Sandhurst), at the Royal Naval College, Portsmouth (a
position he held for twenty-five years), and at tho dissolution
of the college, in 1837, he was appointed Professor at the Hon.
East India Company’s College, Addiscombe, where ho closed
his public career by retirement in 1S55. Visits to tho Spanish
peninsula when Wellington was there, to Ireland in the suite
of George IV., and cruises with Queen Victoria, were among
the incidents of the artist’s long life. Ho published some works
illustrated by engravings, photographs, and chromolithographs
from his paintings and drawings, and his marine pictures aro
in various collectioas. Like Vau der Velde, liis predecessor in
the office of Royal marine-painter, Schetky was a left-handed
artist; and we should add that ho w'as an accomplished musician
and vocalist as well as painter.

THE ASHANTEE WAR.

There is new s from the head-quarters of Major-General Sir
Garnet Wolseley to the 26th ult., when it was expected that
the British troops would march into Coomassie on the 23rd.
Our Special Artist furnishes several Illustrations of tho march
from Cape Coast Castle to the banks of the river Prah. The
stages and military road stations, in this distance of Ices than
eighty miles, arc luquabim, Accroful, Dunquah, Mansu, Sutah,
Yanccomassie, Assin, Barracoe, and Prah-su. Of these stations
Dnnquah, Mansu, and Prah-su are the most important. Tho

escribing his journey from Cape Coast Castle to Prah-su, the
letter w inch wo published a fortnight ago. Inquabim, the first
stage from the coast, distant only seven miles from the town of
Cape Coast Castle, is but a small station. Its whipping-treo,
however, is an institution of most needful discipline for the
multitude of Fantce baggage-carriers and others hired to con¬
vey stores of food or ammunition to the front. Any negro
porter w ho has been guilty of theft or desertion, or has wilfully
dropped his load and refused to go on, is bound closely to this
tree of sorrow by the rope usually coiled round its trunk, and

TIIR ASWANTEK WAR : THE CAMP AT PRAH'SU—NATIVE ARTILLERY CROSSING THE RIVER,
FROM A SKETCH BY OUR SPECIAL ARTIST

TREE ON THE ROAD TO INQUABIM.

THE CAMP WHIPPING-POST AT INQUABIM.

is there flogged by a police-sergeant of his own race, under the
orders of an English officer. The camp at Mansu, which is
forty-three miles from Cape Coast Castle, is the furthest point
yet reached by the electric telegraph. It is stated that extra¬
ordinary exertions were made to remedy the break-down of the
transport arrangements on Jan. 12. A raid was made some
miles down the coast, where native carriers, who had deserted,
were believed to be hiding. A party arrived before daylight,
and, finding all the inhabitants asleep, succeeded in capturing
170 men, who were brought to Cape Coast Castle and pressed
into the service. Her Majesty’s snip Bittern has made two
trips to the westward and brought back 600 women, who have
been enrolled as carriers at Is. 3d. per day. The Argus had
brought up 200 carriers from the eastward, and thus the trans¬

port difficulty was gradually being solved. The Druid and
Simoom, however, had Bailed for Sierra Leone and Cape Palmas
to raise carriers, the Druid to bring them back.

In the View of Prali-su, our Artist has shown the camp of
huts and tents on the bank of the river, with the General’s
flag above the head-quarters’residence, and the bridge of planks,
constructed by four men of the Royal Marines, with the assist¬
ance of native labourers, under the direction of Major Hume.
The battery of native artillery, with three small guns, is seen
crossing the bridge. We described the guns and gun-carriages
when they were sent off from Woolwich Arsenal. The native
gunners have been instructed by Royal Artillerymen in the
details of their work.

The subject of our Extra Supplement Large Engraving has

a painful interest, connected with this West African campaign.
It is the embarkation, at Cape Coast Castle, of a number of
invalid British officers and soldiers for the voyage home, or to
Madeira, or some other place of sanitary treatment. The
health of the English troops and sailors employed on the Gold
Coast has indeed, up to this time, suffered less from its
pestilential climate tnan was expected, and if they can get
away before March the mortality will scarcely have exceeded
its usual rate in a campaign elsewhere. But several young
officers of high social and professional distinction have been
among the earliest victims, and the friends of many others will
anxiously expect their return, as we hope, in a vigorous
condition, to tell the short but Btirring tale of the Ashantee
war.

The testator of whom we ai-o abonttospeak

St hi£ the “O.t .ust = h-l

honours. Barbier was not a man of pnncwte,
and when lie had won the confidence of the
Prince ho served, he treacherously betrayed
all his secrets to Cardinal Mazann. nie
Cardinal, however, being the more powsrful
patron, the Abb<5 obtained, as the price of his
treason, a vast number of ecclesiastical do¬
mains, and at Court the bnportant post of
Grand Auraflnier to the Queen. At length, in
1G65, he became Evfque-Duc de Langres and

Pe Thi > s f napiT elevation, however, failed to
satisfy the longings of the parvenu )? se >
he went off to Rome in hopes of heing madc
Cardinal. In this he wa3 not destined to suc¬
ceed ; but returning with a severe cold, Bautru
took occasion to remark, in his usual 'em of
Batiic, that “ it was not astonishing, seein 0 h.
had come back without his hat.

In 1G(»9 he fell Beriously ill in Paris, and made
his will,* by which he left to the church of
Langres (the Sheffield of France) the sum of
10,000 livres, with some cunous tape 3 trie 3 ,
still to be seen there, representing, in a senes
of pictures, the history of the patriarch Jacob.
Those had been given him by Cardinal
Pvichelieu, and had cost 10,000 livres. He
bequeathed various legacies severally to the
seminary, the hospital, and the poor of Langres,
and made similar bequests in Paris, but left not
a sou to his own family.

One amusing clause, after leaving various
sums to members of his household, excludes
his nmltred’hOtel, “because ” he adds, “ he lia 3
been in my service eighteen year3.”

“ Item (he concludes): I leave 100 crowns to
him who shall write my epitaph.” As may be
supposed, this last proviso gave rise to nu¬
merous lampoons, among which decidedly the
best is the following, from the pen of La
Monnaye:—

Ci-gtfc un tri>« grand personnage,

Qui fat d’un illustre lignage,

Q,ni posslda mill© vertus,

<pii ne trompa jamais, qul fut teujours fort sage,

1 a- n’en dinvi pas davantage :

C’est trop inentir pour cent ecus.

The “Bishop-Duke’s” passion for gambl
gave rise to the following epigram from i
same poet:—

Lc bon preflat rjni git sous cettc pierre

Aim a le jeu plus quhomme do la teire.

Quand il inourut. il n’avait pas un hard,

Et comme iwrdixj etait chez loi coufcume.

S il a gagno le paradis, on presume

Quo ce iloit Ctre un grand coup do hasard.

He died in Paris, as it is said, “ en sentiments
de grande contrition Jan. . 30, 1670, aged
seventy-seven.

BEQUESTS TO WIVES.

Walter Frampton, Mayor of Bristol, who
died on Dec. 6 , 1388, left his wife a very large
property, but with this strict injunction -
‘ ‘ Item : I desire that in the case that the said
Isabella shall re-marry and this matter cau
be proved, my executors shall consider them¬
selves bound to withhold from the aforesaid
Isabella all the aforesaid legacies, and shall
expel her from all participation therein for ever,
making a triple proclamation of the same by
sound of trumpet at the high cross.” . . .

Asa pendant to this we cite the will of^ an
individual wiio died in London in June, 1791,
and who provides for his wife as follows:—

. . . “Seeing that I have had the misfortune to
be married tothe aforesaid Elizabeth, who, ever
since our union, has tormented me in every
possible way; that, not content with making
game of all my remonstrances, she has done
all she could to render my life miserable ;
that Heaven seems to have sent her into the
world solely to ‘ drive me out of it; that the
strength of Samson, the genius of Homer, the
prudence of Augustus, the skill of Pyrrhus,
the patience of Job, the philosophy of
Socrates, the subtlety of Hannibal, the vigi¬
lance of Hennogencs, would not suffice to
subdue the perversity of her character ; that
no power on earth can change her, seeing wc
have lived apart during the last eight years,
and tliat the only result has been the ruin of
my son, whom she has corrupted and estranged
from me;—weighing maturely and seriously
all these considerations, I have bequeathed,
and I bequeath, to my said wife, Elizabeth,
the sum of one shilling, to be paid unto her
within six months of my death. ’’

Another will, dated a few years earlier, has
been sent us, similar in character. By this the
husband leaves to liis widow the sum of 500 g3.;
but adds the clause that she is only to come
into the enjoyment of it after her death, “ iu
order,” says this considerate (or perhaps out¬
raged) husband, “that she may be buried
suitably as my widow.”

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON N E\V S.,

FEB. 2..

BURNING OF THE BELGRAYE
PANTECHNICON.

A fire took place yesterday week, in the fashionable quarter of
Belgravia, which destroyed a vast amount of costly property,
household furniture, pictures, statuary, porcelain, and other
works of art, carriages, plate, and rare wines, belonging to
many private families of the upper class. Such were the various
goods stored in the Pantechnicon, an extensive block of build-
logs, having a wide frontage in Motcomb-street, Belgravc-
square, and extending back to Lowndes-square on the north
and to Lowndes-street and Kinnerton-street on the east and
west respectively. The building, which belonged to M™.
Smith and Radcrmachcr, was constructed of fireproof
materials, and was used as a miscellaneous repository f or pro¬
perty of all descriptions. It was of vast size, and was built
round the four sides of an open yard, being in some parts five
and six stories high. Open communication existed throughout,
and within a very short time after the outbreak of the lire, it
had spread through the buildings and lofts to so great an extent
as to preclude all hope of saving any considerable amount of
the warehoused property.

The outbreak of the fire was discovered at half-past four in
the afternoon. There was a strong smell of burning, and it was
traced to a warehouse on the second floor m the northern
extremity of the budding, where some goods were found to be
on fire close to the wall. The foreman and the workpeople-
twenty or thirty of them—got out their manual engine and
tried to extinguish the flames ; but they had difficulty in get¬
ting water, and were unable to effect any good. All the irou
doors were shut, except those by which the men could escape,
and heavy tarpaulins were thrown over all the goods on the
ground lioor. Immediately on the alarm of fire being raised,
messengers were sent to the nearest telegraph stations to give
notice to the Fire Brigade. Others proceeded to theVYest-
minster engine station, in Victoria-street, a distance of halt a
mile, where the “call” was given. No time seems to have
been lost by the Fire Brigade. In less than a quarter of an
hour several steam and manual engines, with a number of
firemen under Captain Shaw, were on the spot. The fire at
that time was not very large, but the place was very difficult
of access, the smoke was overpowering, and the water supply,
at first, was extremely short. All these circumstances pre¬
vented anything material being done to extinguish the
‘ fire ; but the engines went Bpeedily to work, and every
effort was made, though without success, to subdue
the flamos The alarm had been sent to the Knightsbridge,
Chelsea, andjjWellington Barracks. Detachments of the Cold¬
stream Guards, headed by Lieutenant Clark-Kennedy ; of the
Scots-Fusilier Guards, under Captain the Hon. R. Stapleton-
Cotton, and of the 1st Life Guards, under Lieutenant Lord
G rims ton, with one or more of their engines, arrived soon after
the Fire Brigade. The soldiers were set to work to remove the
carriages in the front building; and Belgrave-square, Wilton-
crescent, and the adjoining streets were soon crowded with the
vehicles taken from the Pantechnicon. The horses, and those
in an adjoining livery-stable, belonging to Mr. Rice—about 150
in all—were also rescued in time, and taken to a place of safety.
The books of Messrs. Smith and Radfcrmacher were removed by
their clerks and others to the offices of Messrs. Trollope, builders,
in Motcomb-street. Meanwhile the fire was rapidly spreading
from room to room and from warehouse to warehouse, iron
doors and walls and laths notwithstanding. The Fire Brigade,
whose force was increased every few minutes by the arrival of a
resh engine, had to retreat from their positions again and againf
as the flames and the smoke gathered upon them. The reflection
by this time was visible for miles round—even, it is said, as far
as Twickenham—and drew to the neighbourhood an immense
crowd. A largo body of police attended, and w r ere formed in
line across the entrances to the streets surrounding the fire.
An abundant water supply was at length obtained, and the
firemen, assisted by the soldiers, the salvage corps, and many
volunteers, plied their hose from the roofs of adjacent houses
and from every position from which the building could be
reached. From six o’clock until ten in the evening the fire
raged with unabated fury, and the whole of London was lit up
With, the reflection of the flames. During those hours the flames
spread throughout the entire building, except the north-west
corner in Kinnerton-street. Shortly after ten o'clock a large
portion of the roof of the south building suddenly fell in. A
party of twenty men of the Fire Brigade, wffio "were working
close by, had a narrow escape. The force .of the fall closed the
iron door of the room in which they were at work, and pre¬
vented their exit, but by a desperate effort they managed to
force the door open and escape. The engineer in charge of the
party, Alfred Holmden, was considerably hurt, and one of the
soldiers had a leg broken. At eleven o’clock the remaining
portion of the building took fire, and it was then thought every
minute that the surrounding houses in Motcomb-street would
also bo destroyed ; but the wind happened to change, and the
danger was over. About half-past oue o'clock in the morning
the fire had gone down very much, and by four o’clock, or
shortly afterwards, it was so much reduced that one half of the
brigade, with their engines, were sent back to their stations by
Captain Shaw*. Throughout Saturday and Sunday seven steam-
engines, in charge of sixty firemen, were kept at work on the
ruins.

The Pantechnicon w r as the hugest, and esteemed the safest,
“fireproof” warehouse for miscellaneous articles in London.
It was commonly used by the occupiers of West-End mansions,
not a few of the nobility and members of Parliament, who are
accustomed to shut up their town houses from July to February,
and w'ho prefer to remove their most valuable household goods,
(luring the absence of the family, for greater safety. The
premises were built in 1830 by Mr. Seth Smith, grandfather of
oue of the present proprietors, on a large plot of ground of
which he held the freehold, extending from Motcomb-street on
the south to Lowndes-square on the north, a distance of 1500 ft.
The building covered nearly two acres. On the western side
the wall of the building ran straight along the entire length,
but on the eastern. side the boundary of the premises took a
zigzag direction, here extending quite into Kinnerton-street,
but elsewhere half or a quarter of that width. There were tw r o
main entrances, one in Motcomb-street and the other in
Kinnerton-street, the latter being the place at which the vans
wore laden and unladen. The north building w’as esteemed
the coinpletest in its way ever constructed, and neither
ingenuity nor expense was spared to render it perfect
for the purposes for which it was intended. By means
of peculiarly formed and solid iron pillars a complete
iron support was produced from the ground through the
intervening floors to the roof. The whole of the ceilings were
lathed with iron rods, and covered with a composition which it
was hoped would resist the fiercest fire, and w ould not crack
or fall if water was thrown upon it while hot. The hoarded
floors were covered with iron plates laid upon patent felt to
preserve the under side of the iron from rust, and to deaden
the sound. The rooms were separated from each other by brick
walls and w rought-irou doors, and all the stairs w'ero of stone.
All the chimney flues were lined with cast iron, and there was

not a piece of wood exposed in any part of the huUdma itselE
Several hundreds of tons of iron were used in the election ot tins
portion of the premises. The south building
constructed The basement was formed into cellars for tile
atOTaie ofwines, and no less than 3000 pipes of wine, on an
average, were kept there. The ground door was set apart for
the reception of carriages, of which at the time of the lire 'there
wore some hundreds on the premises. Thore was in this
portion of the building a large strong room for the deP 0 ™
plate and jewellery, and in other parts there were rooms for the
storage of pianos and musical instruments and of works of art,
exposed for sale or otherwise, A considerable buBmess was
done in the conveyance department in Kinnerton-street, in con-
nection with which a large number of vans and between lifty
and sixty horses were kept daily on the premises.

The building was not uniform in height, but it mostly
reached four stories. At four different points, to e “ 81 jre
greater safety, an iron wall was built across the entire width,
from east to west, the theory being that in case of hre the
communicating doors could be shut, the progress of the flames
stopped, and the damage confined to a portion of the building.
Again, in their turn, these compartments were subdivided into
warehouses, each distinguished by a letter of the alphabet; and
these, again, into a number of blocks or rooms, differing m size
according to the bulk of the contents, each of which had thick
iron walls and doors, and was, so to speak, entirely isolated from
the rest. The owners or renters had separate keys, and they and
the proprietors of the building firmly believed that their goods
when in the Pantechnicon ran as little risk from loss by tire as by
theft. It may also be stated that the building was lighted in
the daytime by four or five large skylight wells from floor to
roof, and that, with the exception of the offices at the main
entrance (which are now uninjured), there vras not a gaslight
on the premises. The building was, as a rule, closed at dusk,
and the only lights allowed afterwards were safety-lamps
carried by the men, and lighted in a room set apart for that
purpose alone. There was a water-tank of great size on the
roof, while there were smaller tanks on the various floors, and
hose ready for use and a manual fire-engine were kept on the pre¬
mises. There were, however, as it happens, no hydrants in
the building, from which water could have been on an emer¬
gency procured, and to this circumstance may be attributed, in
all probability, the great extent of the disaster.

The proprietors of the building, Messrs. Smith and Rader-
macher, are insured in the Royal Exchange Office. Two houses
in Motcomb-street, and the livery stables of Mr. T. H. Rice,
■were more or less damaged. The backs of the houses of Major
Charles Hall, Sir Andrew Fairbairn, Mr. C. Cox, Lady Wood,
Lord Newport, M.P., Mr. Nathaniel G. Lambert, M*P., Mias
Robertson, Miss M‘Creery, Lady Flower, Mrs. Wildes, Mrs. E.
C. Tuffnell, Major Evan Macpherson, and Major the Hon. G.
A. Browne, in Lowndes-square (numbered from 17 to 28 in¬
clusive), were also damaged. Mr. Spencer Percevals house in
Lowndes-street sustained some damage ; also the French
Minister’s stables in William’s-mews, and a tavern in Kin¬
nerton-street.

But the contents of the Pantechnicon, which are mostly
destroyed, were of enormous value. The building was filled,
as wo learn, from end to end and from basement to roof wfith
goods, some of great price, belonging to hundreds of owners,
including many members of both Houses of Parliament ; so
that had it happened three w'eeks hence the fire would not
have been, in ;all likelihood, half so disastrous, as by that
time much of the furniture would have been removed. Ihc
proprietors of the Pantechnicon say they know little or nothing
of the actual contents of the private strong rooms or of their
value. As regards the insurance of the articles, the under¬
standing with customers was that the firm were only responsible
for safe custody, and that the insurance must be made apart
from them. They fear, however, that the customers had such
faith in the building being fireproof, that many of them would
feel it unnecessary to insure their goods. There can be no
doubt, notwithstanding, that the insurance companies will be
heavy losers by the disaster.

Among the noblemen and gentlemen who have suffered the

f reatest losses are Sir Richard Wallace, who had in the
'an technic on a library, a collection of armour, and a store of
plate, with some pictures and art-curiosities, valued altogether
at nearly £150,000, of which £28,000 only was insured ; Mr.
Wynne Ellis, Sir Seymour Fitzgerald, and the Earl of Cadogan,
each to a very large amount; Mr. Walter Gave, Sir F. Sykes, -
and others. It is said that Sir Garnet Wolseley’s furniture
was there. The total number of depositors was more than
two thousand. It is hoped that some of the plate and jewels
in the strong room may nave escaped injury. A youth named
Scott was killed, on the Saturday afternoon, by the fall of a
wall in the ruins.

Another fire took place, early on Sunday morning, in
Carnaby-street, Regent-street, in the house of an Italian named
Monaco, w’ho kept a shop for cooked fish, and also let lodgings.
Mrs. Lord, one of the lodgers, was killed in getting out of a
bed-room window’, and a man named Migler was burnt to
death ; the woman’s husband and child, too, were severely
injured. _

A meeting of the subscribers to the Cooke memorial was
held in the Chamber of Commerce, Belfast, on Tuesday, when
it was resolved that the statue of the late Rev. Henry Cooke
Bhould be erected in front of the General Assembly's College.

Mi\ Alderman A. B. Walker, the Mayor of Liverpool, paid
a state visit, on Sunday, to St. Andrew’s Scotch Church,
Rodney-street, on the occasion of an appeal on behalf of the
Seamen’s Orphanage. His Worship was accompanied by many
members of the town council and the corporate officials. The
collection realised £280.

Prizes were on Tuesday presented to the gentlemen cadets
of the Wool with Academy, by the Coinmander-in-Chief, before
a large gathering of officers and ladies, in the School of Arms.
His Royal Highness took occasion to acknowledge the distin¬
guished services rendered by the Royal Engineers—and, in a
less degree, by the Royal Artillery—in the Ashantee war.

Archbishop Manning, in liis Lenten pastoral, strikes a po¬

says there are 1500 in the workhouse and district schools.

and a chorus from his incidental music to that drajua; and
new overture, “ Le Cid,” by Mr. Alfred Holmes. \

The fourth of the second series of the Wagner Society,
Concerts took place yesterday (Friday) week, and again, UL
the third concert, included choral performances. The selection
from Wagner commenced wfith the orchestral prelude to “ U.
hengrin, and included “ Elsa’s Dream,” “ Eiusam in trubai
Tagen,” and her song “ Euch Luftcn”—well rendered by
Madame Elena Corani—Lohengrin’s farew’ell to the svran,
“Nun sei bedankt,” and his song to Elsa, “Atkmestdu
nicht,” very expressively given by Mr. Bernard Lane; the
concluding piece having been the highly dramatic duet, "Dm
S tlsse Lied verhallt,” for Elsa and Lohengrin, in which Mr.
Wallace WellB w T as an efficient coadjutor with Madame Corani,
The “ Lohengrin ” selection also comprised the line scene, fn>m
the first act, descriptive of the arrival of the hero (encored), tLe
beautiful music of the bridal procession scene, w ith chonn of
nobles and warriors, the brilliant orchestral introduction to
the third act (encored), and the subsequent nuptial chorns.
The whole selection excited an interest which shows that the
time has come for the production of this and other worlis c?
Wagner in tlicir dramatic form. The other items of the concert
referred to were Gluck’s overture to “Iphegenie en Aulide;”
that by Berlioz, entitled “Le Carnaval Romaine;” Bach's
aria, “ In Deine Hiinde ” (from the Church cantata, “Gottes
zeit”), very expressively sung by Miss Sterling; and Listz's
“ Fcst Marsch,” composed for the jubilee festival held in
honour of Goethe at \VeimaT. The orchestra w as, as before,
of the highest efficiency, and the chorus-singing displayed such
large improvement as left little, if any tiling, to be desired. Mr.
Dannreuther again conducted with care and skill. At fcho
next concert, on March 13, selections will be given (also in -
eluding choral music) from Wagner’s “Riejua,” “I'nnnhnuser,"
“Die Meistersinger von Niirnberg,” and •Lohengrin.”

On Monday Herr Joachim was the leading and M>\o viohmbt
at the Popular Concert. In the former capacity he was heard
in Beethoven’s tenth string quartet, op. 74, in E fiat; and m
the same composer’s third pianoforte trio, in C minor. Hw
unaccompanied piece was the first of Bach’s six sonatas for
violin alone, the enormous difficulties of which were surmounted
with the calm ease of thorough mastery. This performance
called forth an enthusiastic encore, which was responded to by
repeating the last movement. The quartet party was com¬
pleted, as usual, by Messrs. L. Ries and Zerbini and Signor
Piatti. Miss Agnes Ziuimermann played with much effect in
Schubert’s solo sonata in A major, op. 120, and in the trio.
Mdlle. Victoria Bunsen was the vocalist, and Sir J ulius Benedict
occupied his accustomed post as conductor. It has been
announced that, owing to an attack of rheumatism, Madame
Schumann (who was to have played at next Monday’s concert)
will be unable to appear this season.

The eminent pianist, Dr. Hans von Biilow, played for the
last time duriag his present visit to London at the Popular
Concert of Saturday afternoon.

The ninth subscription concert of the season of the Rojd
Albert Hall Choral Society took place on Wednesday evening
and consisted of a performance of “The Messiah,” the sole*
vocalists having been Madame Lcmmens-Sherrington, Miss Anna
Williams, Madame Patey, Mr. E. Lloyd, and Signor Agnesi.

Mr. John Boosey’s London Ballad Concerts have been
pursuing their successful career at St. James’s Hall
Wednesday evenings, with an intermission this week, tbetf
resumption being announced for Wednesday next.

Yesterday (Friday) evening Mr. Willem Coenen’s
chamber concert was to take place at the Hanover-sqtiaic
Rooms, the programme having included Rheinberger's psan^
forte quartet in E fiat, Brahms’s string quartet in C minor,
a fantasia by Rubinstein for two pianos.

'The aud <ugh not numerous, w as appreciative, and we

trust w; : cue to increase. The merit of the acting

certainly justilies public patronage.

A new farce has been produced at the Strand, by Mr.
Gilbert a Beckett, entitled “ Lending a Hand,’’ a lively affair,
which is likely to hold the stage. 11 is well acted, and the
story is amusing. The sorrow's of Mr. Muddles, and tho in¬
gratitude which he so diligently earns, provoke rather merri¬
ment than commiseration. The part is sustained by Mr. H. J.
Turner. Mrs. Cowley ’b comedy of “The Belle’s Stratagem”
still retains possession of the boards.

At the Court Theatre a poetical play has been ventured (the
work, it seems, of more than one author), with scenery by Mr.
Walter Harm. The piece is entitled “The White Pilgrim,”
and tho story is suggested hy a tale of Do la Motto Fouqud,
eallcn “ Siutram.” The tone of the play is serious throughout.
The action turns upon a terrible oath taken by a young Nor¬
wegian chief, named Harold, who lived at the early Christian
era, and whose temper is decidedly hostile to the new religion.
Ho is encouraged in his prejudice hy a defomied pagan, Sigurd,
and his heathen companions. This man induces Harold to take
the oath, which is one that an ancestor of his had aforetime
taken; swearing

That should foot of Xonnwi knight that day
Cross hut tho threshold of his castle home,

And seek a knightly hospitality,

Within ono mouth that trusting guost should die—

By Ills host’s hand struck to the earth and slain.

Harold is taunted by Sigurd that he has bo far turned Christian
that ho would fear to take the prescribed oath. Stung by the
insinuation, Harold, being in drink, dares the imprecation, and
lays a wager on the result They arc visited that night by Sir
Hugo and Lady Isabelle, his wife, as travellers from Normandy,
who have been wrecked upon the coast. With this Lady
Isabelle Harold falls in Jove, and in her presence forgets the
gentle Thordisa, to whom he is affianced. Alter a month’s
absence Thordisa returns, and a day only remains for the fultil-
ment of her lover’s rash oath. Sigurd, impatient of
delay, seeks to bring on a quarrel between Sir Hugo
and Harold ; but Thordisa intervenes, and averts the
danger. She, moreover, prevails ultimately. Sir Hugo
is mode acquainted with Harold’s inhospitable purpose. Tne
guilty man, invited to a duel, breaks his sword and makes
expiation. The supernatural machinery of the White Pilgrim
might, perhaps, have been better managed—a character designed
to represent the Spirit of Death, and to assert the philosophic
doctrine that Death is but a birth to a new life; but the
audience missed the point. Miss L. Moodie, as Thordisa,
showed artistio power, and Mr. Vezin, as the fanatic Sigurd,
was carefully emphatic. Mr. G. Rignold was exactly suited
to the passionate aud moody Harold. The drama in written in
sonorous blank verse, and is not without poetic tire ; but the
performance was unequal, and accordingly unsatisfactory.

Lord Alfred Paget presided, on Monday afternoon, at a
meeting of the committee having charge of tho arrangements
for giving a complimentary benefit to Mr. Benjamin Webster
and presenting him with a testimonial. There was a large
attendance of professional and other gentlemen. The noble
chairman congratulated the meeting on the success which had
attended their efforts. The “School for Scandal” would he
placed on tho stage with, perhaps, an unprecedentedly power¬
ful cast. Mr. Andrew Holliday, honorary secretary, said one
of the most interesting features in the performance would bo
the appearance of Mr. Webster on the stage with his fellow-
labourers, when an address, w’ritten by Mr. Oxenford, would
be read by Mrs. Kceloy. Previous to tins Mr. Henry Irving
would recite “Engcne Aram.”

Mr. Leeman, M.P., has been elected chairman of the North
Eastern Railway Company, in succession to Mr. H. S. Thompson.

At the annual meeting of tho Belfast Chamber of Com¬
merce, on Monday, Mr. Elias Thompson was elected President
for the ensuing year, as successor to Mr. John Preston.

Dr. Bcke claims to have discovered the real Mount Sinai,
with sacrificial bones on the summit, Siuaitic inscriptions on
its sides, aud other proofs of its Mosaic character. Its site is

Jebel cl Mir.-A committee has been formed for the purpose

of testifying to the high appreciation in which the valuable
life-long services and labours of Dr. Beke are held. It is
therefore proposed to present him on his return to England from
his journey to Mount Sinai with a public testimonial.

Mr. Cardwell has forwarded to the commission on officers’
grievances an elaborate minute on their report. The latter
show r ed that no compensation had been made to officers for the
loss of gratuitous steps, which, under the old system, they
would have been entitled to sell ; that officers on half-pay hud
lost tho benefit of Vacancies which might have led to such
gratuitous Bteps; and that poorer officers were seriously
affected by the abolition of the old practice with regard to
exchanges. In reply, Mr. Cardwell sends the commissioners a
series of tables indicating the number of gratuitous steps
granted during the ten years preceding the abolition of pur¬
chase ; the number of vacancies on the full-pay list during the
same period ; the actual promotions, and the unattached pro¬
motions. He enters historically into the operation of the
causes which had given rise to non-purchase steps ; and con¬
cludes with a list of new benefits which the abolition of pur¬
chase has conferred on officers.

ROYAL INSTITUTION LECTURES.

LIFE IK THE AGE OF THE NEW RED SANDSTONE.

Professor P. M. Duncan, F.R.S., began his fifth lecture on
Palaeontology, on Thursday week, by describing the strata of
the new red sandstone or Trias in England as being a sedi¬
mentary deposit of sand and clay, owing its red colour to the
peroxide of iron, aud including stones marked by ripples, rain¬
drops, and footprints resembling a hand. An explanation was
given of the theory advanced by Mr. Godwin-Austen, some
time ago, that these strata were more or less lacustrine ; and
allusion was made to the succession of the Bun ter aud Keuper
in England and the presence of marine deposits between these
in Germany and England. The Professor then noticed the
geographical extension of this old land surface and sea-floor into
Asia, India, South Africa, New Caledonia, and New Zealand.
After describing the geological position of the Trias between the
Permian and the Jurassic, the Professor commented on the vast
interest of the Trias to palaeontologists, because it w r as formed
after two great physical changes had altered the fauna and flora
of the palaeozoic age, and because the fossils of the Trias are
very suggestive in their character, being intercalary, linear, and
characteristic types. Remains of all the great groups of exist¬
ing mesozoic reptilcs'are found in the Trias, except serpents and
tortoises. Among these creatures the Professor specially noticed
the dicynodon, a lizard-headed creature with double dog-teeth ;
and some remarkable amphibia with inscinc affinities. The
mammalia are represented hy rarely-found teeth of marsupial ia
or pouched animals. The gigantic batrachian named laby-
rinthodon, from the remarkable windings shown in the
section of its teeth, was described as an air-breathing,
frogliko creature, with a crocodile-like head and limbs,
ending with five digits like our hand, of which impressions are
found, and which led to its being named cheirotherium (hand-
beast). Tho congeners of this animal, w ho lived in the Per¬
mian and coal ages, were next noticed, and the Professor showed
that the coal labyrinthodons are linear types between the ganoid
fish and the labyrinthodons of the Trias. The singular beak¬
headed lizard named rhynchoaaurus was noticed, and comments
w r ere made on the interesting and suggestive resemblances of
the ancient lizards of the Trias with the sphenodon, a recent
lizard of New Zealand, and also on their relation in structure
to tho protosaurus of tho Permian strata. The dinosauria first
appeared in the Trias, were persistent in the Wealden, and
then died out; but the crocodiles, which also appeared ia the
Trias, have lasted, with certain modifications, to the present
time. After noticing the differences between the Triassic and
post-Triassic plesiosauria Professor Duncan concluded by de¬
scribing the flora, climate, and extension of land of this interest¬
ing period in the history of the earth.

THE OPPONENTS OF STIAKSPEARE.

Dr. Doran, F.S.A., at the Friday evening meeting on the
13th inst., after commenting on the little knowledge w r e possess
of the life of Shakspeare, and the absence of any MSS. or
other literary remains, characterised Dryden as his first and
greatest opponent, than whom no one had more disparaged
Shakspeare, although no ono had spoken of him in higher terms
of praise. The Monarchy and the stage fell together ; but
Shakspeare was re-enthroned at the Restoration, and then
Dryden began his jealous attacks—at first, hy mutilating and
horribly debasing “The Tempest,” and then jnstifying himself
in his vigorous pamphlet, “The Defence of the Epilogue,” in
w hich he speaks of Shakspeare as uncultivated by education or
hy converse with courts. This work had a disastrous effect on
dramatic literature and criticism, and especially on
Shakspearean literature ; since it brought into existence the
long line of “ improvers,” who invariably in their mutilations
lost sight cither of Sbakspearc’s object or moral, or both ;
examples of w r hich may readily be found in Davenant’s
“Macbeth,” aud in the altered versions of other jilays by
Howard, Otway, Tate, Lord Lancdowme, and others. Amongst
the critics llymer, the antiquary, was remarkable for his
vituperation of .Shakspeare, and even Shaftesbury considered
his wit superannuated. Dryden also was the founder of the
school of infamous dramas which Jeremy Collier so
justly lashed in his “ Hisfcriomastix.” This led Dryden to
profess remorse ; but he soon returned to his old style. The
endeavour in the last .century to raise Fletcher above
Shakspeare was frustrated by “the Shakspeare Ladies’ Asso¬
ciation,” who nobly restored the original text and prepared
tho stage for the coming of Garrick. After mentioning
Addison as one of the opponents of Shakspeare in his pre¬
ference for the dramatic unities, exemplified in his “Cato,”
Dr. Doran adverted to the long and bitter opposition of
Voltaire, who, after translating what he termed “pearls
extracted out of Shakspeare’s mire,” became w r armly jealous of
their success. Eventually, however, Shakspeare succeeded in
France oven on the stage, beginning with “ Othello,” and
aided by Talma as his interpreter ; and his last crowning
triumph in French literature is the valuable literal translation
of his works by Francois, the lately deceased son of Victor
Hugo. William Sjiottisw-oode, Esq., LLD., Treas. R.S., the
secretary and vice-presidont, was in the chair.

ORIGIN AN1» PROGRESS OF MOHAMMEDANISM,

Mr. Bosworth Smith, M.A, gave the introductory lecture
of his course on Mohammed and Mohammedanism on Saturday
last. He began by remarking that the great historical religions
of tho world were moral rather than theological in their origins.
Judaism bogau by giving the Israelites a national life and a
moral . code; Buddhism was originally an attack npon
Brahmin ism and its evils ; and Christianity, if we recur to the
very words and deeds of its Founder, prepared men to receive
a higher notion of God by the enthusiastic love which His life
aud exaniple developed in them, first to Himself and then to
all mankind. Whatever view'may be taken of Mohammedanism,
its vital power will depend, not on its originality, but on its
adaptability to the spiritual wauls of the time. If the origin
of language, of civil society, and of life is wrapped in mystery,
still more ia the origin of religion. We cannot get beyond
certain elements. Mohammedanism is the only religion we
can trace accurately, aud Mohammed is the only founder of a
religion wffiose whole life is revealed by history and by wfaat
may be termed his autobiography. It is a question how far
our full knowledge of one religion may explain the groveth of
others. After noticing some points of comparison between the
Bible and the Koran, Air. Bosworth Smith commented on the
problems connected with Mohammed’s character and their
deep human interest; and then, rapidlyreviewing the conquests
of the Arabs and the spread of their religion till the taking of
Constantinople, he adverted to the present state of Mohammedan¬
ism, its geographical extent, and the religions it has overthrown.
In regard to its being still a living religion, he referred to recent
events in Yun-Nan, to its progress under Yakoub Beg in Chinese
Tartary, to its advance in the East Indian Archipelago, and to
its extraordinary success in Africa. He then enlarged on the
great variety of benefits conferred by it upon the
negro race and the sublimity of its teaching. Contrast¬
ing with these benefits the desolation wrought till lately
by European Christians in their African settlements,
especially by the Portuguese, ho remarked that it was not

surprising that a religion so represented had failed to convert
the Africans ; aud that Christians should rejoice that, if their
ow-n religion failed, the next best to it should be successful.
The revival of M oh amine rlanism in Anatolia and its attitude in
India were then noticed. Passing in review the various ex¬
planations of the success of Mohammedanism, the lecturer
remarked on the difficulty of our getting rid of our national
and religious prejudices. There must be very much that is

§ ood, he said, in a religion which has achieved so much. The
istinctions of kind ordinarily drawn between one religion and
another tend to hide this, and imply that there is no relative
element in religion, and that mail can grasp absolute truth.
The language even of sacred books cannot stereotype religious
thought, and it is well that it cannot. In regard to the
question whether broad views of the science of religion are
adverse to missionary c ffort, the lecturer contended that there
are methods of proselytising and results to be arrived at at
once desirable and attainable. The one model given in the
New Testameut of a missionary dealing with tho faith of a
cultivated people had not been sufficiently copied by Christians.
The spirit and essence of Christianity, rightly set forth, is of
universal applicability, and may influence and elevate all other
faiths, if it cannot supplant them. The next lecture will be
devoted to various questions connected with Mohammed him¬
self, the circumstances that prepared tho way for him, the
nature of his mission, his inconsistencies, his faults, ami his
sincerity.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF LIQUIDS.

Professor Tyndall, D.C.L., F.R.S., in beginning the first of
six lectures on the Physical Properties of Liquids and Gases, on
Tuesday last, stated that he proposed, in this course, to
examine their mechanical texture and illustrate some of their
mechanical applications. Liquids arc distinguished from solids
by their extreme mobility and by taking the shape of the vessel
that contains them. That they are not absolutely incom¬
pressible was shown by Lord Bacon in a remarkable experiment
described in his “Novum Organum,” fifty years before the cele¬
brated Florentine experiment. After hammering and squeezing
some water in a leaden globe till it exuded through tho metal
like a fine dew, Bacon says, “ 1 then computed the space lost
by the compression, and concluded that this was the extent of
compression which the water had suffered, but only when con¬
strained by great violence.” Professor Tyndall then described
and fully illustrated the conclusive experiments of Canton,
Perkins, Herbert, < Ere ted, Regnault, aud others on this inter¬
esting subject. In reference to the absence of attraction,
usually given as one of the definitions of a liquid, he referred to
Professor Joseph Henry’s idea of first weighing the drop sus¬
pended from a soap-bubble, then determining the thickness of
the bubble from its colour, and thence deducing tho 1 cohesion
per square inch. Experiments with the scale-pan had shown
the cohesion of water to be about 53 grains per square inch ; but
Henry found it to be in reality several hundred pounds. That
this tenacity is not due to the soap Dr. Tyndall clearly proved
in a scries of beautiful experiments with pure water-films, iu
accordance with the researches of Savart. Some of these films,
in the form of convex and concave bubbles, had a most bril¬
liant appearance when illuminated by the electric light. An
umbrella of water was thus exhibited. Liquid jets were next
considered ; and when a vertical vein of water was illuminated
it appeared to be a solid, continuous stem. After commenting
on this and other examples, the Professor, hy very ingenious
arrangements, showed how a liquid vein may he resolved into
a series of drops. He then considered the phenomena which
ensue w f hen the continuous portion of a vein cuts the surface of
w'ater, and when a discontinuous portion cuts it. In the former
case, when the apparatus is well adjusted, there are no bubbles
and no sound ; but, in the latter case, bubbles are formed with
sound. When the velocity is great and.the impact against the
water surface is violent air enters, as explained by Magnus.
Hence there is an intermediate stage of silence between tho
tw'O stages of bubbles and sound. After illustrating these phe¬
nomena, the Professor exhibited the influence of sound on a
vein or jet of water. A vein was made to enter a basin of
water silently. When a small noise was made near the water-
pipe the vein broke, bubbles appeared, and sound was heal'd.
When a large tuning-fork was vigorously sounded, the vein,
previously continuous and silent, broke and bubbles entered,
their number and sound varying. The loud sound occurred
when the ventral segment of the broken vein cut the water
surface.

Mr. Francis Galton, F. R.S., on Friday evening next, will
give a discourse on Men of Science, th,eir Nature and Nurture.

THE LONDON MISSION.

The scries of special religious services, prayer-meetings, preach¬
ings, and conferences, which many of the London clergy had
undertaken, with tho sanction of the Bishops of London, Win¬
chester, and Rochester, was brought to a close at the beginning
of this w r eek. It included several extra afternoon services, last
W'eek, at Westminster Abbey and St. Paul's Cathedral. Tho
Bishops of Exeter, Manchester, and Ely w’ere preachers at the
Abbey. The Bishop of London preached at .St. Martin’s-in-
tlic-Fields, and addressed a congregation of the Guards at
Wellington Barracks, which is the scene represented in our
Illustration. Many of the parish churches were visited by a
special “ mission preacher,” whom the incumbent had invited
for this occasion, and who delivered two or three sermons on
week-days. In some instances, where meetings were held at
unusual hours in the evening and artificial means of excitement
w'ere used, there may have been ground for the objections taken
hy many Churchmen to these proceedings.

Mr. Grcenall, M.P. for Warrington, has given £1000 towards
building a new hospital and dispensary in that town.

The Board of Trade inquiry into the wreck of the Calcutta,
off Kilmore has resulted in the suspension of the capfa^. t cer¬

MOSCOW AND ST. PETERSBURG.

The recent festivities in the two capital cities of Russia, at the
marriage of the Grand Duohesss Mario Alexamlrovna to his
Royal Highness the Duke of Hamburgh, with the visit of their
brothers ami sisters, the English, German, and Danish Princes
and Princesses of highest rank, to the Czar and the Em¬
press of Russia, have been described and illustrated by this
Journal. We present Illustrations of the most splendid
churches of St. Petersburg and Moscow, and of scenes at the
last-named city during the Imperial and Royal visit.

The Church of St. Isaac, though not the cathedral church of
St. Petersburg (that is the one dedicated to our Lady of
Kazan), is a very grand edifice. It was built in the reign of
the late Emperor’ Nicholas at an enormous cost, the piles for
its foundation being sunk in a swampy soil, which alone was an
expense of £200,000. The building is in the form of a Greek
cross, with equal sides. Each of the four grand entrances is
approached by a triple flight of steps, and each flight of steps
is out out of a single huge block of Finland granite. The pillars
of the four porticoes are sixty feet high and seven feet in diameter,
each of one piece of polished granite. Their Corinthian
capitals are of bronze. This structure rivals the great temple
at Baalbec. Over the centre of the building is a wide and
lofty Byzantine dome, upheld by thirty pillars ; its roof is of
gilt copper, supporting a cupola with a golden cross, and it is
surrounded by four smaller cupolas. Groups of statuary, iu
gilt bronze, adorn the pediment of the front entrance. The
interior of this church is decorated with malachite and various
coloured marbles. The principal shrine is a dome upon eight
pillars, further ornamented with gilding. Our Special Artist
nos sketched four scenes in St. Isaac’s Church, illustrative of
the Russian forms of ecclesiastical worship.

At Moscow the Uspenskoi Saber, or Church of the
Assumption, in which the Emperors of Russia are crowned,
occupies a place of the highest eminence in the Kremlin. Its
iutermr is a blaze of gilding, which covers, with some large
fresco paintings, the walls from door to roof, and the pillars
also that support the live cupolas. In this church are kept
some great treasures : a golden Mount Sinai with a figure of
Moses, given by Fritice Potemkin; a Bible, which belonged to
Peter the Great’s mother, having its cover so loaded with gold
and jewels as to weigh 1201b. ; the plain wooden throne of
Vladimir the Great; a portrait of the Virgin Mary, painted by
8t. Luke ; the skeleton of the Patriarch Nicon, and many other
relies. Close to the Church of the Assumption is that of the
Archangel Michael, which is even of greater sanctity. The
Synod House, formerly the palace of the Patriarch Archbishop,
is behind the cathedral. We gave la3t week the Illustrations
of the Spass Vorota, or Saviour's Gate, one of the entrances to
the Kremlin palatial precinct, with its picture of our Lord and
a burning lamp fixed above the doorway in the gate-tower ;
also one of the Church of Moscow. The several old and new
palaces of the Czars in the Kremlin, the Grauovitaya, the
Bolshoi Dvoretz, and the Terema, are curious as well as
gorgeous, and their state apartments were viewed by the Royal
guests of Alexander II. a fortnight ago. The scene at the
Grand Theatre, and that of the ball given by the Governor-
General, completes the series of Illustrations devoted to this
subject.

JOHN PYE.

By the death, on the 6th iust., of Mr. John Pye, at the
advanced age of ninety-two, we lose one of the foremost land¬
scape engravers of his time, ami one who, in other respects,
will occupy a prominent position in the history of British
art. At an early age, Pye became a skilful draughtsman, lie left
Birmingham, his native town, at eighteen, and, coming to Ixmdon,
was apprenticed to James Heath, who turned out many of the
most eminent engravers of this century. So highly did Heath
estimate the capacity of the Birmingham lad that he took him
without the customary premium and gave him wages from the
first. Pye remained with his master about four years, and
during this time he began to develop those principles of
chiaroscuro—that power of colouring, so to speak, in its
elementary black and white—in which he soon became a
master, and an acknowledged authority both with painters
and engravers. He also evinced a rare faculty for inter-
l>reting atmospheric effects, which rendered him one of the
mo9t successful exponents of the works of Turner. The
plate which first brought him into prominent notice was the
engraving after Turner’s “Pope’s Villa,” with the figures
by C. Heath, published in 1811. When Turner saw
this plate he said, “If I had known there was anyone
in this country w ho could have done that 1 would have had
it done before.” Thenceforward there was much friendly
intimacy between the painter and engraver, interrupted
only by some peculiarities of character, if not injustice, on the
one side, and natural sensitiveness on the other. The engrav¬
ing of “ Pope’s Villa ” led to the production of the important
plate from “The Temple of Jupiter in /Egina,” with which
Turner was so pleased that he offered to paint a companion-
picture expressly for engraving. Turner always spoke of Pye’s
engravings as the most satisfactory translations of his colour
into black and white. Other remarkable plates by Pye after
Turner were those in Whalley’s “ Richmomlshire,” “The
Rialto,” “La Iticcia,” and “Redcliffe Church, Bristol.” lu
addition ton multitude of minor labours, he superintended the
twenty-nine published engravings from pictures in the National
Gallery, and executed, after Claude, “ The Annunciation ” and
“ Pastoral Landscape,” and “ The .Sacrifice of Abraham,” after
Poussin, in this series. He also executed “The Holy Family,”
after Michael Angelo.

Pye was never elected into the pale of the Royal Academy ;
he, like John Linnel, would not conform to the condition,
formerly exacted, of inscribing his name as a candidate for its
honours. His “ Patronage «*f British Art” deals in outspoken
terms with the defects, at least as they then existed, of that
institution, ami he w as probably instrumental in bringing about
the reform by whmh engravers are now eligible for full mem¬
bership, and art* no longer limited to the associate grade.

He was virtually the founder of the excellently managed
self-supporting “Artists’ Fund,” and contributed, -with his
friend Mulready, to its revival in 1825, when Mnlready gave
the copyright of “ The V olf and the Lamb ” (the engraving of
which, by Mr. J. H. Robinson, realised £1000) to the fund.
Pye lived for some time at Paris, and received the distinguished
honour of being elected Corresponding Member of the French
Institute. Besides a choice gallery «>f cabinet pictures and a
fine collection of engravings, he has lett behind him a mass of
interesting notes on the artists of his time, particularly Turner
which it is hoped will he published.

Mr. David Chadwick. M.P., has offered £5000 and 10,000
volumes of liooks, to build and stock a free library in the
town of Macclesfield.

A splendid new saloon carriage, constructed l>y the Great
"Western Railway Company for her Majesty’s journeys between
"Windsor and Gosport, w as taken out on "Saturday for a trial-
trip. It gave perfect satisfaction.

OUR SPECIAL ARTIST IN CHINA.

We may claim a right to feel particular interest in ono of the
new books that bring to home-staying readers oO many widely-
disfcant views of foreign lands and nations in every quarter of
the globe. In August, 1872, as we trust the friends of this
Journal will perfectly remember, its well-known Special Artist,
Mr. William Simpson, was dispatched from London to Pekin,
for the express purpose of attending the marriage of the
Emperor or China and furnishing sketches of the Chinese Court
and capital, to appear in the lUastrated London New#. Mr.
Simpson had done much service of this kind on former occa¬
sions, in different parts of the world. Ho was at the siege of
Sebastopol in 1855, and went through several provinces of
India two or three years after the Hepoy rebellion of 1857,
visiting also Cashmere and Thibet, to gather & stock of pictorial
materials for works published by Messrs. Day and Son, which
were of more than ordinary merit. Iu 186S Mr. Simpson was
commissioned by the proprietors of this Journal to go with the
British military expedition to Abyssinia ; and the Illustrations
of that campaign which he supplied, with those contributed
by other hands, are preserved in a volume which has, at
least for tho sake of its subject, a permanent historical inte¬
rest. Since that time he has thrice beon sent to the
Levant, in order to procure Illustrations of Egypt, tho
Nile, and the Eastern tour of the Prince and Princess of Wales;
the works of the Suez Canal during their progress ; again, the
ceremonies and festivities at tho opening of the Suez Canal,
the excavations and antiquarian discoveries at Jerusalem, and
the ruins of Sebastopol, with the British and French military
cemeteries tMIre.

In 1870 and 1871 Mr. Simpson was one of our Special
Artists for the great war between France and Germany;
whilst another, Mr. 11. T. Landells, was appointed to
serve with the army of the Crown Prince of Prussia. Mr.
Simpson was at one time with the French, at another time
w ith the German, armies ; he was at the opening of the war on
the Moselle, at the siege of Metz, on the battle-field of Sedan,
at the siege of StrasVmrg. and at the siege of Paris, where,
finally, he was shut up with the Communists, and witnessed
the last agonies of their struggle in May, 1871. We have
chosen to bear this testimony to the extent of his experiences
not merely in ordor to recommend his now publication, but to
show by this example what kind of men are employed by
the Illustrated London News in its service abroad. They
travel promptly and boldly wherever the course of passing
events, from week to week or from month to month taking a
new T direction, seems likely to arouse the public feeling of
interest -now here ami now there, all over the world. It is with
a natural satisfaction that we observe the tokens of approval
sometimes bestowed upon them personally by foreign Govern¬
ments, and their recognition with marks of social esteem in the
places they have to visit. Mr. Simpson’s new book, entitled
Meeting the Sun (published by Messrs. Longmans and Co.), shall
for the same reason be welcomed by us, though its text, as a
literary work, is entirely his own, and we can only claim tho
merit of the engravings, reproduced by the heliotypo process
for this handsome volume. It is bound in yellow and red, the
Imperial colour and the colour significant of Marriage among
the Chinese ; and the doubled Chinese letter Slrih, which
denotes Felicity, adorns the cover of this book as an emblem
of wedded bliss.

The title needs to be explained, but this enigma is not hard
to solve. Let astronomers say what they w ill, if we are to
believe our own eyes, the sun goes round this world from east
to west. A traveller, therefore, going round the world from
west to east, is sure to meet the sun. This was the case with
Mr. Simpson ; and on March 8, 1S73, when lie arrived at 180
deg. E. longitude, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, he met
the sun, of course, half way in his circuit from the meridian of
Greenwich Observatory, around this terrestrial globe. 31 r.
Simpson and the sun, who have commonly agreed pretty well,
here had a slight difference of opinion. It was about the pre¬
cise day of their meeting. The sun made it a day; but
whether it was a Saturday or a Friday, the 8th or
the 7th of that month, was a point upon which they
might have disputed all the twenty-four hours. Coming east¬
ward from Japan to California, you reckon the past time a day
too much; for you have met the sun every mo rnin g a little

sooner than you ought to have clone, or would have don
sitting still to await his rising. Mr. .Simpson, with other

Rpnrrrti-ft nn l.mml Ufail Qlnnm Wl.ln ..

done by

pas¬

sengers on board the Pacific Mail Steam-Ship Company's vessel
Alaska, bound for San Francisco, had to consent to live one

day over again. They spent twenty-six days, however, in
crossing the ocean from Yokohama, a voyage of five thousand
miles, which brought our Special Artist into the western hemi¬
sphere, and we had the pleasure of seeing him safely returned
here on Midsummer Day.

He had started on Aug. 5, l>y the new Indian mail route,
through Brindisi, and by the railway from Alexandria to
Suez, not by the Snez Canal. On his road to Brindisi, we
should observe, he has something to say of the Mont Oenis
tunnel, the works of which he had thoroughly examined and
delineated for the J llustratcd London Net 08 t as well as the pro¬
ceedings at the opening of the tunnel and the Mont Cenia
Summit Railway, before it was superseded by the completion
of that great work. Tho harbour works of Brindisi and the
classical antiquities of that place, which is endeared to us by
recollections of Horace and Virgil, are noticed also in their due
place. But Mr. Simpson on this occasion, instead of travelling
by railway the whole length of the Italian peninsula, from
Piedmont to the Calabrian promontory, chose to embark at
\ enice in the Peninsular and Oriental Company’s steam-boat
Poonah, which conveyed him down the Adriatic. He only
stopped a few hours at Brindisi with that vessel, and was
carried on to Alexandria, where he found important works in
progress to improve the harbour, despite the competition of
1 ort Said and the Suez Canal. Having quickly crossed Euypt
by the railroad, lie descended the Red Sea in the?, and 6.
steamer Ellora. and traversed the Indian Ocean to Point de
(ralle. Ceylon, arriving there on the last clay of August. Next
morning, having transferred liimself to the Travaneore for
Hong Kong, he commenced the farther easterly part of his long
voyage, which took him by Penang and Singapore, and through
the btraits of Malacca, to the shores of China. He was at
Hong-iyong on Sept. 16, at Shanghai cm the 22nd, and at
1 ekm in very good time to see all the preparations for the
young Emperor s marriage, which took place in the middle of
October.

In this ordinary route of European travel and traffic to tho
Eastern Empire of Asia there was nothing for Mr. Simpson to
see but what hundreds of Englishmen and Scotchmen are
skeing every year Much of it waa what he had Been

before. He wielded indeed a skilful pencil; and with
his trained faculty of observation, and with his knowledge
of what ,b now and what is old in the Eastern world, now to
full of strange contrasts and mixtures of European with

city and the Chinese city of Pekin, and the
habits of their respective populations. In the former, which
surrounds the Emperor’s palace, the dominant nw of

Mautclioos, armed and drilled, form an Imperial Household
Guard. But these privileged Guardsmen are seen lounging all
day long with pet pigeons carried on sticks, or small bird* in
cages, as they appear in Mr. Simpson’s sketch. Hodreorilks
the Ta-Ching-Mun or Palace, with its gst* s and balk, bcariug
the sublimest names, the “Gate of f?on.vr>nK» PhamC*

Gate of Heavenly Peace.,” the
‘Hall of Steadfast Purity,” and tho “Pavilion of Supreme
Felicity.” The constitution of this venerable empire is dis¬
cussed ; and wc are told of the late Regency of two Dowager
Empresses during the boy Emperor’s nonage. Our readers
have not forgotten what a business it was to choose a wife for
his Majesty by competitive examination among fifty or sixty
eligible girls ; and liow the Board ot Astrologer's prescribed the
happy day and hour for this wedding ; and how the bride
underwent a course of lessons from the Professor of Matrimony;
all which particulars may again lie reviewed in cmr Special
Artist’s book. He relates them with a humorous relish of
their quainfcness and queerness, which, increase* as he sojourns
in China. The nuptial ceremony, in< leed, lie was not permitted
to witness, nor dia he ever behold either the Empewc or tho
accomplished maiden, Ah-Luh-Te, who was to he raised to the
Dragon Throne. But he saw the processions, by day andiu^ht.
between the bride’s house and the palace ; the parade of wedtlmg
gifts, the gorgeous apparel and furniture, the pomp of canopk*,
umbrellas, fans, and lanterns; finally, the box or closed chair
in which she was carried at midnight to her illustrious bride¬
groom. By the friendly assistance of an English lady
who lives at Pekin, our Artist got a clandestine peep at five
grand wedding procession, notwithstanding the strict otficUl
prohibition to see it. We can imagine there must hsve
been some fun in so doing; but there was, perhaps, a little
danger too.

He next occupies our attention w ith the famous Temple ol
Heaven, the Tempi * of Earth, and the other places of estab¬
lished worship for the Imperial Court at Pekin. Their archi¬
tecture and ritual, with all its understood symbolism, as inter¬
preted by Mr. Edkins, seemed to him worthy of study. The
meaner shrines and more vulgar deities of the Chinese poiwUcc
were not overlooked. Every reader must have observed that
lamentable figure of ** A God Out of Repair and the piow
self-devotiou of a hermit-priest, nailed up iu his box by the
wayside, to receive the doles of passers-by for the cost of
mending this wooden divinity. But nothing in China, w
think, was more deserving of our Artist’s notice than the
system of Government literary examinations for all official enr
ployments throughout the empire. H is illustrations and deacriy
tions of the Examination Court, with its range of closets, w
which the solitary candidates are doomed to meditate »•!

1 ho girls’ schools, the pawnbrokers’ shops, the sale of
Pekin Gazi'tlt by newsmen, and the Chinese “ Pun oh w*
Judy ’ are delineated by our Artist’s pencil with lively fcrc*
and truth.

In Japau, where he passed one month, Mr. Simpson
many scenes of interest ; Imt our well-known contributor, Mr.
"U irgman, of Yokohama, had long before supplied this Journal
'with numerous very clever Illustrations of Japanese life
Something was yet left for Mr. Simpson to do there, after
which lie proceeded across the oce 4 in to California, as we kw r
remarked. Hearing of the Modoc Indians in the Lava l&k
where they defied the military forces of the United Stafc*, op[
adventurous Special Artist made his way to that wmuleiw
natural stronghold of a desperate savage tribe. His views ol
the Lava Beds and Captain Jack's Cave, his sketches of
Indians, and hi* Illustrations of several events in this stnU'r*
warfare, attracted much notice both in Europe and
The picturesque scenery to be admired in that western rep® 1
of the New World continent was not loft mi visited by Mr-
Simpson. The Yosemit© valley, the giant trees of ManP®®-
and the lofty peak of Mount Shasta were deserving of * s “ u
excursion. He could not, by the way, with his curiosity

creeds of Tan and of Kong-Fa- Fze in China, and that ofShin^T
in Japan—his eclectic philosophy has a share of <X>naidejS^
for each and all. The extant forms of human credulity
enough for his eager study. We can even detect, in hia
Bions to “the old Scythic cultus, or the Aswamcdba ^ "
of the horse, brought into India by the Aryan ro! * 1 '
hankering desire for a few more strange religions, which*' *
have abused the minds of dim barbarous nations ] on ma . v
become extinct. Indeed, this intelligent and ar.kuc ^ 8,n< *
with regard to such old-world and other-world
has always seemed to us remarkable in a man bo
and so alert to pursue the most practical objects o{ inter?*
which beset us at the present day. Some of our reader^
be aware that he has contributed several essays to the disen^
sions of the Society of Biblical Archmology, as well a* \L
Architectural Society. By his exhibition of a set of wak*
colour drawings, last year, to show the remains of the TeouU
at .Jerusalem, he has also lent some aid to the late revival f
public interest ill those subjects of religious history and tool
graphy. Without any pretensions to profound learniuirit
be allowed that M r. Simpson’s desultory references to all this sort
of thing give Iris book a llavour of earnest thought. II e think,
of the remote past and the future, whilst eye and hand ore W
in lively delineations of the present. His mind ri cmwiitj
with ideas of many different nations and ages, especially those
expressed by symbolic forms and rites, in startling juxul
position. The effect is rather piquant ; and those who want,
more complete and precise account of such matters can
it elsewhere.

In China, more particularly'the metropolis of China, he notice*
the customs and ceremonies of the Imperial Court, thetompfe
of Pekin and the religious observances there, and the civil
hierarchy of that great empire, with its stringent literary*
examinations, and the ordinary habits of the townsfolk ailio
saw them daily in the streets. %tr “ •—

Special Artist much credit; anil we trust that it will al*'

thought creditable, in some degree, to the llluslroJoi
News. Mr. Simpson has visited Europe, Asia, Africa, ^

America, and seen the behaviour of their people. If h°
at all censorious—but he is not—he might say to the
“ Why, thou globe of sinful continents, wnat a life dost
lead ! ” But the round world might reply to him, a sthe f ,

THE HON. J. JOHNSTONE.

The Hon. J. Johnstone, Judge in Equity of the Supreme
Court of Nova Scotia, w'hosc death at Cheltenham was
recently announced, was born in 1792. His grand father, Lewis
Johnstone, a Scotchman of the Annandalo family, having
married Miss Peyton, of Huguenot descent, removed to
Georgia , and was Governor of that province when the United
States were still colonies of Great Britain. His father entered
the Army in 1775, and served during the war of American
Independence, three of his uncles being killed in action, fighting
on the British side. His mother was the only child of Captain
John Lichtenstein, of Austrian extraction. Judge Johnstone
was educated by a private tutor, tho Rev. Dr. Duncan, of
Ruth well, Dumfriesshire. He went to Halifax, Nova Scotia,
at the age of nineteen, was called to the Bar in 1815, and rose
to distinction as one of the foremost lawyers in British North
America. At an early period ho adopted a political career, and
until his elevation to the Bench he represented continuously
one of the largest constituenciesin the province. He was a
member of the Executive Council, and became, successively,
Solicitor-General and Attorney-General, was the acknowledged
head of the Conservative party, and the leader of the Con¬
servative Government when in power. Judge Johnstone was
one of the earliest advocates of the confederation of the British
Provinces, which measure he warmly supported throughout his
life. In 1857 he was sent, together with the Hon. Adams
Archibald, on a delegation to England, on behalf of Nova
Scotia, to adjust the claims of the mining associations. In
June, IS73, he waa appointed Governor of Nova Scotia ; hut
his declining health prevented his acceptance of the post.
Judge Johnstone was distinguished as an eloquent orator, a
man of great legal acumen and knowledge, of marvellous grasp
of intellect, of chivalrous honour and unswerving rectitude.

An exhibition of canaries and British and foreign cage
birds has been held this w-eek at the Crystal Palace.

The annual ball of the Royal London Yacht Club took place,
yesterday week, at Willis’s Rooms. The supper was presided
over by the Commodore.

Fever lias fallen to so low an ebb that the governors of the
Ixmdon Fever Hospital are considering whether they should
not enlarge the scope of their benevolence. Their annual
general meeting, hold in the Freemasons’ Tavern, was occupied
with routine business and the election of trustees. An
encouraging report w as presented.

At a meeting of the Metropolitan Board of Works, yester¬
day w eek, various proposals for City improvements w r ere con¬
sidered. New” rules for the regulation of clothes-drying on
Blaekbeath w r ere reported upon, and, after discussion, were
referred back to the committee. A recommendation from tho
fire-brigade committee to offer prizes for improved lure-escapes
was considered and referred.

The Marquis of Westminster presided over a meeting of
metropolitan volunteer officers last Saturday, at which it was
officially stated that the South Eastern, the London, Chatham,
and Dover, the South Western, and the Brighton Railway
Companies had expressed their inability to convey the volun¬
teers to either of tho towns named for the Easter Monday
review, in consequence of the largely-increased traffic on that
day, resulting from the operation of the Bank Holidays Act.
General regret was felt at this, and a resolution was unani¬
mously passed requesting the Secretary of State for War to
forward to her Majesty the earnest expression of a hope that
she may be enabled to review the metropolitan volunteers in
the course of the ensuing season. To compensate to some
extent for the abandonment of the Easter Monday Review, an
all-comers prize meeting on a large scale will be held at
Brighton in May. A large sum lias already been subscribed.
Portsmouth proposes to hold an Easter Monday review at
its own risk. The Towm Council have discussed the subject,
and it is contemplated to issue invitations to the volunteers

of the southern counties. -Sir Hope Grant made lii«

usual winter inspection of tho London Scottish last Satur¬
day. The prize distribution, which has hitherto been per¬
formed by Lady Eleho, was postponed, out of consideration
for the bereavement recently sustained by her Ladyship
and Lord Eleho.--Mr. Justice Denman distributed the

I irizes to the Inns of Court Volunteers, in Lincoln’s *lnn
fall, on Thursday week. A great many ladies W'cre present,
including Airs. Denman. Amongst the spectators also were
Vice-Chancellor Malins and General M ‘Murdo. Lieutenant-
Colonel Bulwer, Q.C., M.P., was in command.

THE ILL USTRATED LONDON NEWS.

LONDON, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1874.

A change of Government, although generally and justly
regarded as an event of first-rate importance, does not in
tins country, as in some European States, entail conse¬
quences dangerous to public tranquillity. In our view of
the case, we may be said to have passed through a revo¬
lution during the last month—a revolution, moreover, of
more striking significance than had been anticipated by
either of the political parties. But in the common-sense,
sober, practical view of the change which has taken
place, it represents little more than an alteration of time
and mode in our plans of political development. Roughly
speaking, any Administration possessing within itself
the smallest germ of vitality feels itself under the
necessity of giving legislative effect to what it regards
as the ascertained desire of a majority of the peoplef No
matter what may be the private, or even party, sym¬
pathies of its members, and even giving full credit to that
weight of influence which office bestows, Governments
can do little more thuu express in action what for the
time being the nation wishes to be expressed. It may
do so more or less vividly, or more or less perfunctorily;
but its aim will be, and everybody knows it, to adapt its
programme of measures to what it is convinced is the
sense of public ueed. The Queen has changed her ser-
\ ants, and the present set differs in many respects from
the last; but the object of the one as well as of the other
is to do the work of the household, not to overturn the
laws, nor to reverse the conditions, upon which its affairs
have customarily been managed. The English people
well understand this; and, unless a change of Ministry
should involve an infraction of Constitutional law, or an
implied usurpation of political authority, they feel no
difficulty in extending to a change upon which their
opinions may widely differ the sanction of their
acquiescence.

We have now a new Administration, in conformity

v.ith the results of the general election. It has coma
into po'wer by no overt act of its own. It is, we may
say, the natural product of a strictly constitutional process
It will be viewed by some with regret. It will be wel¬
comed by others with acclamation ; but no one will deny
that it is entitled to a fair trial. The circumstances m
which it had its origin demand this ; the character of
members enforces that demand 5 tho political mood of
the present time will, no doubt, secure it. Mr. Disraeli is
now at the head of a Government which Parliament will
recognise as a legitimate embodiment of the wishes of the
people. His proposals, such as they may be, will 1^
to be taken into respectful consideration. There i
little danger of their being exposed to factious oppogig^
No doubt they will be keenly criticised In some instanced
they may be unable to pass through the fiery ordeal to
which they will be submitted. But a fair, and even an
indulgent, discussion of them is what he has a right, owing
to the position he occupies, to expect. Such an expecta¬
tion he might ^ground upon personal considerations only.
But he is under no necessity to place hi3 claim upon so
narrow a basis. He has associated with himself in the
Government over which he presides a body of colleagues
whose intellectual and political ability have long since
been recognised by the country. With Lord Cairns ou
the woolsack, Lord Derby at the Foreign Office, Lord
Salisbury responsible for the government of India,
and Lord Carnarvon for that of the colonies, none
will be disposed to look upon the new Adminis¬
tration as intrinsically weak. In administrative
ability it is very far indeed from being open to
contempt; in debating power it is strong in both
Houses—competent we imagine, in ordinary cireum*
stances, to hold its own. One advantage it po33e33e$
which its predecessor lacked. There is no fear that
what it does in the Commons will be repudiated in the
Upper House. Thus, Mr. Disraeli will enjoy the fullest
opportunity of exhibiting to the country whatever quali-
fications of statesmanship he may really possess. The
chance has come to him, towards the close of a lengthened
and brilliant career, of writing the next chapter of
English history; and the-public, not of the United King¬
dom only, but of Europe and America, is curious to .see
what will be the drift and character of that which he
will deem it worth while to write.

Parliament will meet on Thursday next. Its first
business will be to choose a Speaker and to swear in
members. Its next, to order the issue of writs for a
fresh election of those Commoners who by the acceptance
of office under the Crown have vacated their seats. It
will be upwards of a week, therefore, after the opening
of both Houses before the commencement oi the
business of legislation can take place. There wifi be
little to show what the general policy of her Majesty's
Ministers will be for some time to come, unless, indeed,
which is far from certain, Mr. Disraeli should take the
opportunity of the motion for an Address to the Throne
to give an outline of his political programme. The
Estimates willprobably be those of his predecessors in office.
Time will not admit of any such mature preparation of
important measures as will allow of their being introduced
before Easter. The first indication of what the nation may
expect from the substitution of a Conservative for a Liberal
Government will appear in the finauciai proposals of the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, and it is not at all unlikely
that the passing of the Estimates and of the bills required
to give effect to the Chancellor’s Budget will occupy the
greater part of the forthcoming Session.

There is, however, much to be done out of Parlia¬
ment. The arrangement of the relations we are to sus¬
tain in future towards the tribes living within or border¬
ing upon British settlements on the Gold Coast will
test the statesman ship of Lord Carnarvon; and the
impending—we may almost say the commencing—
famine in Bengal will furnish an occasion for the display
of all his undoubted administrative talent by the Marquis
of Salisbury. There is nothing just now, we believe, to
excite anxiety in the mind of the Foreign Secretary; but
the state of the Continent is such as he will be called
upon to watch with care, and to deal with, from time to
time, with wise self-restraint. In most other respects
the want of the day is political repose. Of course, it
will not last long, nor is it desirable that it should*
for rest is very apt to run into stagnation. Of retro¬
action there is no fear. What we have done,* we have
done, and are not inclined to undo. It cannot be
denied that a vast deal has been done in a comparatively
short time—perhaps with less disturbance of vested
interests than might have been expected, though not
without occasioning troubles the combined force of
which Mr. Gladstone's Government was destined to
endure. The Constituent Bodies have determined, by a
decisive majority, to slacken for a while the pace at which
legislation was proceeding. The new* Government will
be likely enough to submit to their behests; aud hsnee
the immediate prospect before the country is, a short
breathing time and little progress.

At the w eekly meeting of the School Board, on Wednesday—.
Sir Charles Reed, Al.P., in the chair—Mr. Freeman resumed
the debate on Canon Gregory’s motion for the aiipoiufcmonfc
of a committee of inquiry into the educational statistics of
the former board. Several speakers took part in the discussion,
which was again adjourned.

At its last meeting the Metropolitan Board of Works con¬
gratulated itself on the great success of its recent loan, an offer
of two millions and a half of stock having brought in tenders
for nearly twenty-two millions. Negotiations which, have been
in progress for buying up existing manorial rights on Clapham-
common w ere concluded by a resolution of the board to pay
the stipulated sum of £18,000.

The total number of paupers in the metropolitan district
last w’eek was 108,518, of whom 37,178 were in workhouses
and 71,340 received outdoor relief. Compared with the corre¬
sponding week in the years 1873, 1872, and 1871, these
figures show a decrease in the number of paupers of 10,200,
14,379, aud 48,715 respectively. The number of vagrants
relieved on the last day of the week was 623, of whom 455
were men, 133 women, and 35 children under sixteen.

In the monthly report upon the condition of the metro¬
politan water, Major Frank Bolton draws attention to the Act
of 1871, which provides power to compel the companies to give
a constant supply when the public authorities may see lit to

result, since it w ould enable the use of hydrauts instead of fire¬
plugs, and thus more rapidly and effectively extinguish fires.
By this time hydrants might have been placed upon about one-
third of the entire mains of the metropolis, but these have not
yet been supplied.

An exhibition of students’ work in connection with the
St. Thomas Charterhouse School of Art was opened, last week,
in the Girls’ School, Goswell-road. The walls were covered
with draw ings, and vocal and instrumental music formed part
of the evening’s amusement. The president, the Rev. John
Rodgers, and the head art-master, Air. S. Mills, were present,
and the large room ivas crowded with students and their
friends. The school is in a remarkably prosperous condition,
there being about 1000 children and 400 science and art
teachers. Sjjecial classes for elementary teachers are hold
every Saturday afternoon.

The Workmen’s Club at Millwall, which has been erected
by the Millwall Dock Company for the benefit of the artisans
and labourers in this busy quarter of London, was opened on
Saturday last. The club is one of the most extensive of its
class. In addition to a large lecture-hall, rooms for educational
classes and games, it contains culinary appliances equal to the
provision of from 500 to COO dinners. A room has bseu fitted and
set apart for the library, towards w’hich some valuable contri¬
butions have been received. This good work deserves the active
support of all classes.

The annual distribution of prizes by Mrs. Loyd-Lindsay to
members of the Hon. Artillery Company took place on Thurs¬
day week. Colonel Loyd-Lindsay, M.P., congratulated the
corps on the excellent report for the past year. It was true
that, like other volunteer corps, their numbers had diminished,

but their efficiency had increased.-The City of London Rifle

Brigade, under the command of Major Haywood, had a field-day

at Wimbledon on Saturday afternoon.--There seems roasoa

to hope that a volunteer force of 10,000 or 12,009 men may be
collected on Easter Monday, the War Office having invited the
metropolitan corps to take part in a grand divisional fi aid-day
w ith the regular troops, near Wimbledon.

At two railway meetings held last Saturday-—the London
and North-Western and Great Northern—shareholders urged
upon the directors that the question of the day for them was
to avoid accidents. The Rev. F. Henson affirmed that there
w r as nothing more important to companies than diminution of
speed. Mr. R. Moon said, on behalf of the London and North-
Western, that, with their fast train to Edinburgh they allowed
themselves to be beaten by other lines to the extent of three-
quarters of an hour. Colonel Duncombe, the deputy-chairman
of the Great Northern, replied that he did not sec how they
should be called upon to reduce their speed while it was not
done upon other lines.-Sir Antonio Brady, on Monday, pre¬

sided over a meeting of railway directors and shareholders, at
the City Terminus Hotel, to consider the best means of obtain¬
ing the repeal of the railway passenger duty. Air. Laing, AI. P.,
Mr. Lightly Simpson, and Air. Forbes, were amongst fcho
speakers; and it was resolved that a deputation should wait
upon the First Lord of the Treasury and the Chancellor of the

Exchequer on the subject.-The Great Western Railway

rate of 6^ per cent per annum, carrying over a balance of
about £20,000.

THE ASHANTEE WAR.

CAPTURE OF COOMASSIE.

We are glad to announce the summary defeat of the Ashantees
and the capture of Coomossie by the British expedition under
Major-General Sir Garnet Wolseley, which is now, we hope,
on its way home to England. On Wednesday a telegram
was received at the Admiralty from Lisbon, stating that
Sir Garnet Wolseley had fought a battle, on the 31st ult,
at Acrcmboo, on the Ashantee side of the Adan3i Hills.
The fighting lasted twelve hours, and the British force
suffered a loss of 253 killed and wounded—namely, 39 of the
Uaval Brigade, 128 of the 42nd Regiment (Highlanders), 23 of
the Difle Brigade, and 53 of the 23rd (Welsh Fusiliers). Major
Baird of the 42nd, and Captain Buckle, of the Royal
Engineers, were killed. Of the Naval Brigade, Captam Grubbe
and Sub-Lieutenants Mundv and Rawson were wounded ; also
Captains Macpherson aud Creagh, and Lieutenants Stevenson
and Berwick, of the 42nd, and Captain Mooli and Colonel
Wood of the Engineers. It was furthor stated that Sir Garnet
Wolseley remained fifteen miles from Coomassie, in great want
of troops. This news was brought from Madeira to Lisbon by
the Enchantress, which made the trip in forty-one hours. But
the following telegram from Sir Garnet Wolseley, sent to
Gibraltar from Cape Coast Castle, was received on Ihursday
morning by the Secretary of State for War :

“Coomassie, Feb. 5.— Reached this place yesterday, after

live days* hard fighting. Troops behaved[admirably Officers
killed : Captain Buckle, R.E. ; Captain Nicol, Hants Militia, :
Lieutenant Eyre, 19th Foot. All other casualties under 300
The King has left the town, but is close bv, and says he wil
pay me a visit to-day to sign the treaty of peace. I hops^ to
commence my march to the coast to-morrow. All wounned
doing well. Health generally good. Despatches follow by special
fast steamer.”

The Admiralty received a telegram ot the same date from
Commodore Hewett, at Coomassie. which gave similar informa¬
tion, adding that seven naval officers were wounded, but all
doing well. _ , „

Cape Coast Castle, Feb. 5.

A great battle has been fought near Coomassie, resulting in
the defeat of the Ashantees and the capture of Amouful.

The operations commenced at six a.m. on Jan. 31 and lasted
until three p.m. # .

The British forces, consisting of Lord Gifford and his native
scouts, the 42nd Regiment, under Major Macpherson, and the two
guns of Bait’s artillery, forming the loft column, under Colonel
M‘Leod, with Major Russell’s native regiment, Gordon’s
Bomsas. two rockets under Lieutenant Palmer, and a wing of
the Naval Brigade under Captain Gnibbe, R.N., cut a path at
right angles to the main road for 300 yards, and then due
north. Upon the left was the 42nd Regiment, and on the right
a column under Colonel Wood, with a wing of the Naval
Brigade under Colonel Luxmoore, and two rockets under Lieu¬
tenant Knox. Colonel Wood’s native regiment was to carry
out the same plan on the right of the centre column. The
second line consisted of the 23rd, supported by Colonel Wood’s
and Major Russell’s native regiment on its flanks. The third
line was composed of the Rifle Brigade, under Colonel Warren.

The enemy formed a broad angle, diverging from the main
right apex of the Amouful, and had a position on steep hills.
The King of the Ashantees is supposed hi have been present.
The enemy fought most desperately, and suffered severely.
Amanquatia, the commander-in-chief of the Ashantsc army,
is reported to be killed. The firing was very heavy for five
hours.

The casualties on the British side are : —Captain Buckle,
Rojnl Engineers, killed ; Major Home, wounded in two places ;
Lieutenant Hare, wounded in two places ; two sappers and
thirty-six labourers killed.

The Naval Brigade, which was 145 strong, had three
off!ccis wounded—namely, Captain Grubbe, Lieutenant Mundy,
and Lieutenant Rawson, aud twenty-six men killed and
wounded.

The 23rd, which was about ninety strong, had on© offber
and five men wounded.

The 42nd lost nine officers aud 105 men in killed aud
wounded, including Major Macpherson wounded in two places.
One bullet passed through his leg,*but he led his men the
whole way. Major Baird was badly wounded in both leg 3 and
in the chest, and was carried to the rear, being unable to move.
The carriers were attacked : he himself was beheaded. Lieu¬
tenant Berwick was wounded in the ankle, and Lieutenant
Stevenson, Captain Creagh, and four others wore slightly
wounded. The Rifle Brigade had one officer and twenty-five
men killed and wounded. No return of the lo $3 of the native
allies lies been received, but it is heavy among Gordon’s
Houssas. The troops bivouacked on the ground taken.

A baggage-train had been attacked on the way up. Seven
hundred and fifty loads arrived at Amouful on Eeb. 1 , escorted
by men of the Rifle Brigade, the 42nd, and the 2nd West Indian
Regiment.

A strong force attacked Dequa, a mile on the right. The
place was well defended, and the houses were loopholed. Oue
fduojackct was killed and three were wounded, as well as
some allies.

During the battle on the 31st the staff was much expoi-d
to the fire, but suffered no casualties.

Our Special Artist lias contributed a number of further
Illustrations, engraved for thisVeek's publication. The several
halting-places or stages on the road through the forest between
Cape Coast Castle and the river Prah, a distance altogether of
nearly eighty miles, have been enumerated on former occasions.
Accroful, the camp at Dunquah, Sutah. Yancomassie-Assin,
and Barracoe, with the riverside camp at Prah-su, are the places
shown in the Views which wc now present to the reader.
Iuquabim, the first station from Cape Coast Castle, was repre¬
sented in a former Illustration. The next station is Accroful;
and Dunquah, where a small camp has been formed, is two
hours’ march further on. Then comes Yancomaasie-Fantee,
w hich is not the same as Yancomasaie-Assin. Two more stages
bring us to the camp of Mansu, whence it is three hours’
journey to.Sutah. We have given view’s of Dunquah and Mansu
in our preceding Numbers. The military mail takes nearly
twenty*two hours for the whole distance from Cape Coast
Castle to Prah-BU. The telegraph is laid to Mansu, which is
about halfway to the Prah.

The camp at Prah-su, where our Artist was residing at the
date of his last letter, is the scene of much ordiuary
military business ; and ho has made two or three
sketches of what he saw going on there. The inspection of
some of our native auxiliary troops is one of the incidents he
has chosen to depict. There are the Kossohs, who com? from
another country of West Africa, a long way north of the Gold
Coast. They are dressed in canvas smocks, and each man
carrier three regulation pouches, worn in any way that pleases
his ‘ancy. Their wives, cr some of them, are standing behiud

the line. Lieutenant Pollock and Lieutenant j Clowns are

The advanced guard of Sir Garnet W olseley s small force,
when it had crossed the Prah, on the 20th idt., pushed on to
the Adansi Hills, forty or fifty miles from Coomassie. The
General stopped at Moinsie, on the south side of those hills,
having wdth him only the staff of the Naval Brigade, under
Commodore Hewitt. ‘Lord Gifford was sent up the hill to recon¬
noitre, with fifty scout 8 , picked from the best native auxiliaries,
Kossohs, Houssas, and Bonny men. While, climbing the
steep ascent through a tangled forest Lord Gifford s party were
met by an Ashantee priest, or wizard, sent to warn them not to
go any farther. It was near the supposed boundary that sepa¬
rates the proper Ashantee territory from that of Assim. The
priest, who was accompanied by half a dozen other men, waved
his arms with uncouth gestures, and made various strange
noises, after which ho shouted to the party at a little distance,
and said that the Ashantee army was assembled in thousands
at the top of the hill, and that they would kill every man who
went up. Neither Lord Gifford nor the men lie led were in the
least degree alarmed by the declaration. The Houssas and
Kossohs were quite wild to get at the enemy. They fairly
broke away, like hounds from the leash, aud rnshed up the hill,
all shouting, and brandishing their swords and breech-loaders
with both hands. When they got to the top all they could see
was five men running away, whom it was or no use to chase.
There was a fetish on the spot, fixed in the ground like a scare¬
crow, but consisting only of a stick, with bundles of cotton and
grass tied round it. this was the terrible guardian of the
Ashantee kingdom. __

FRANCE.

{From our Correspondent in Paris.)

Thursday, Feb. 26.

Paris cannot exist for long without a sensation, and the all-
absorbing incident of ibc moment i 3 the candidature of
M. Lcdm Rollin for the department of Vaucluso, the election
for which takes place on Sunday next. The reappearance on
the political stage of the once all-powerful Republican leader
seems to have filled the Royalist party with dismay, his
election, which is wcllnigh certain, being rightly regarded as
a fornud protest against the reactionary policy of the Govern¬
ment, and more especially against any mutilation of tho
principle of universal suffrage, such as is contemplated by the
majority of the Assembly, the present electoral system having
been initiated in 1848 by M. Ledru Rollin himself. His candi¬
dature has already provoked an “ incident ” in the Chamber,
and a letter from *M. Thiers, who lias at last broken the silence
he has so long preserved respecting matters political. Last
Monday afternoon MM. Xaquct, Gent, and Taxile Delord
sought permission to question tne Due de Broglie relative to the
man oeuvres of the Royalist and Bonapartist Mayors recently
appointed in Vaucluso, who are abusing their position to
thwart the efforts of M. Ledru Rollin’s supporters. At the
Minister’s request, however, tho majority decided that the
interpellation should be postponed until the election came before
the Assembly for ratification.

M. Thiers’s manifesto, which appears in the form of a letter
addressed to M. Lepetit, the Democratic candidate in the
Vienne, is artfully composed of phrases capable of a double
interpretation. The ex-President wishes M. Lepetit all possible
success, and states that he considers the restoration of the
Monarchy impossible. The interest of the nation, in his opinion,
is to establish a definitive Republic ; but, on the other hand, he
counsels the electors to enlighten the Assembly without alarm¬
ing it, otherwise commerce “will suffer from fresh anxieties, and
the reorganisation of the country will be certainly delayed. The
Radical organs print this letter wdtli affected jubilation; but it
is quite evident that the final warnings arc given in reference to
the candidature of M. Ledru Rollin, who in former times was
one of the ex-President’s most bitter political adversaries. The
Rtpubtiquc Fran^ahc, M. Gambotta’s organ, somewhat naively
asserts that the two enemies are reconciled, and that M. Thiers
would have preferred the election of M. Ledru Rollin to that
of M. Vautrain, in January, 1872, or to that of M.
Barodet, in April, 1873. On the other hand, M. Thiers’s
private organs, the l)6bats and the Bien Public, are most bitter
against I^dru Rollin, conjuring np the u spectre rouge,” and
prophesying all manner of disagreeable things in tho event of
his Being elected to the Assembly.

O 11 the 10 th of March the Prince Imperial attains his
majority, and the Bonapartists, in this age of political pilgrim¬
ages, having expressed their intention of organising a series of
excursions to Cniselhurst, the Due de Broglie lias addressed a
circular upon the subject to the prt*fets aud sous prefets :—
“ We do not wish (says the Minister) to restrain any citizen’s
liberty of action, or to prevent the friends and servants of the
Empire expressing their attachment to the Bonaparte family ;
but the projected manifestation of March 16 coincides with the
Prince Imperial's coming of age, and might be considered
as a protestation against certain decisions of the National
Assembly. In consequence,” the Due de Broglie forbids func¬
tionaries of every kind to visit Chiselhurst, under penalty of
immediate dismissal, and requests his subordinates to apprise
him should any attempts be made to throw’ doubt upon the
sovereign decisions of the Assembly. He, moreover, vigorously
forbids the public circulation of petitions or addresses°for sig¬
nature. It has since been rumoured that, in consequence of
this c.rcular, the Prince Imperial has written to his mends in
Paris countermanding the proposed manifestation.

The National Assembly, which has again indefinitely post¬
poned MM. Gambetta and Lep 6 re’s interpellation apropos of
ilie arbitrary manner in which tho Government is carrying the
tew municipal law into effect, has been occupied this week in

mittee w ith a sum of £4000, it has been devoted to redeeming
the bedding of the working classes pledged at the Mont de
Pidtd.

The Treasury has repaid to the Bank of France ita advice
of 150 million francs, made in order to accelerate the paying

The murderers of Vicenzim, the police agent, who
drowned in the Seine, on Feb. 26, 1871, by a mob of Nation*!
Guards, have been tried this week by the eighteenth council of
war. The circumstances of this outrage are of the most pii*
fid character. The unfortunate victim, who was recogui^
as a mouchard by a crowd of Communists engaged in a nmj.
festation round the Bastille Column, was tied to a plank mi
precipitated into the river, after undergoing every species of
ill-ueage. Ho succeeded in freeing himself, but was aanilcj
with stones and driven back from the river hanks every
time he succeeded in approaching them ; and at length, havhi
ineffectually hailed a steam-boat, which passed on without pay¬
ing any attention, Iris strength failed him and he sank. Thi
evidence against two individuals, charged before the Council q{
\Yar with participation in this barbarous outrage, was con¬
clusive on several points ; aud, although judgment has not ye!
been given, there is little doubt but that the prisoners will bs
found guilty.

M. Cahen-Lyon, the wealthy army tailor, has just been con¬
demned to two years’ imprisonment and 1001 . fine for fraud fo
carrying out liis contracts with the Imperial Government ini
the Government of National Defence. One of liis accomplice*,

A M ERICA.

In the Senate the question of withdrawing from circulation
the National Bank currency, so that the legal tenders known
as “greenbacks” Bhould remain the only currency of the
countiy, came on for discussion last week. After a long debate,
a motion to redeem the National Bank notes with specie or
United States Bonds was rejected by SO against 28 votes. By
a fir.all majority the Senate has resolved to increase the National
Bank circulation to 400,000,000 dols.

A general rising of Sioux Indians is reported. A telegram

INDIA.

The weekly telegram of tho Viceroy of India, respecting the
famine, received at the close of last week, confirms tho report
that beneficial effects had been produced by the late rain. In
North Bthor the distress w-as increasing rapidly, but was every¬
where being effectually relieved. Nearly 100,000 tons of grain
had been sent into tho distressed districts, and 213,000
labourers were employed on the relief w’orks.

The chairman of the Central Relief Committee at Calcutta
has telegraphed, in answer to advices of a first remittance of
£10,000 from London, that the sympathy of the English nation
will be gratefully appreciated by the people in the famine-
stricken districts. After describing the relief operations in
progress, he states that the distress is likely to be severe, and
that subscriptions are required early. A private telegram
handed to the Mansion House committee yesterday week says
that mortality has already commenced in the Nepaul district..

A telegTara from the Daily New# Special Commissioner in
India states that the distress is gradually intensifying. Fifty
thousand persons are now engaged on the relief works in the
three worst sub-divisions of Tirhoot. Delay is taking place in
forwarding grain into the northern districts, and great difficulty
is experienced in finding competent persona to superintend the
relief works.

The Times* correspondent at Calcutta telegraphed on Tuesday
regarding the progress of the famine :— M The Government nar¬
rative admits an increase of vagrancy, crime, and child-
desertion. Women and cliildren are suffering severely. It is
ascertained that there have l>ecn deaths from sickness ca uni
bv starvation. Sir G. Campbell doubts whether the Government
c:n supply enough food. Three hundred and thirty-three
thousand tons are wanted now, with coolies to carry (30-lb.

1 ode. The doctors arc supplied. Tho labour test has been
relaxed. The exports of rice since October have been 105,01)0
tone.”

The same correspondent telegraphed on Wednesday as
fellows : —“Sir R. Temple’s appointment to Behar has always
had SirG. Campbell’s hearty approval. The Sarun correspondent
reports increasing crops and the establishment of relief works.
The North Tirhoot correspondent reports that infants arc dying.
Nurseries have been established in North Chumparun, the dis¬
trict most exposed to suffering. ’The Nepaulesc are treated as
British subjects. In Goruckpore prospects are improving as the
pulse harvest matures.”

The latest accounts of the growing crops are favourable.

Serious political troubles are anticipated, according to a
Jeddo telegram of Thursday week. Iwakura, tho Prime
Minister, has tendered his resignation, which has boen refused.
*1 he people clamour for a war against Corea, aud this or a civil
war is deemed inevitable. From Nagasaki we are told that a
serious insurrection has broken out in the district of Fizen,

But 3 telegram received by the Japanese Legation denies that
the revolt near Nagasaki is anything serious. It states that
SCOO troops had arrived in the district, and were expected to
have no difficulty in restoring order.

Mr. Charles Gilpin, M.P., writes to the Times to contra¬
dict some reports which have been published stating that M.
Kossuth was living in a state of destitution in Turin. Mr.
Gilpin says that he saw M. Kossuth in May last in Turin,
and found him living in “a comfortable and well-furnished
salon on the ground floor, opening by French windows into a
little garden, where he spends a good deal of time. Colonel
Ehaz, who was his friend and aide-de-camp in the time of his
prosperity, is with him still, and periodically they go together
mto .Switzerland and the Tyrol in search of new plants for the
garden at home.” With reference to reports that Kossuth was
compelled to give lessons in order to earn a livelihood, Mr.
Gilpin says :—“ Those who know as well as I do Francois and
Louis Kossuth would feel, as I do, quite assured that their
honoured and revered father would never be permitted, in his
declining years, to undertake the office or teacher. It is
Kossuth’s choice to live retired as he does.”

The mail-packets under contract with tho Swedish Govern¬

The new ship Hesperus, Captain Legoe, 1700 tons, chartered
by Mr. Francis 8. Dutton, agent-general for South Australia,
for the conveyance of emigrants to Port Adelaide, sailed, on
Monday, from Plymouth. This ship was built at Greenock for
Messrs. Anderson, Anderson, and Oo., of Billitcr-court, E.C.,
expressly for the Adelaide trade. Besides cabin passengers and
a valuable cargo, she had on board 4It! emigrants, cqinu to 348
statute adults. These have been carefully selected by Mr.
Dutton, and comprise people of all trades and industrial occu¬
pations, besides 45 single female domestic servants, who are in
much request in the colony. The emigrants consist, as is usual,
of the classes described as “full passage paying,” “assisted
passage,” some “ free passage,” and others, part of whose
passage-money has been sent by their relatives, already in tho
colony. They come from all paits of the United Kingdom and
Ireland. Dr. Belcrave is surgeon-superintendent, and Mrs.
Collinsmatron in charge of the single women—tho latter selected
by the British Ladies’ Female Emigrant Society.

It has for several years past (writes the Qlohe correspondent
in Brussels) been a matter of complaint amongst English and
American resident families in Brussels that there lias been no
church for their exclusive use. The Chapel Royal, where Divine
service is now r held, is rented of tlie French and German Pro¬
testants, and can only be used at very inconvenient hours. In
1862 a committee was formed by the Rev. C. E. Jenkins (since
deceased) having for its object tho building of a church for the
especial accommodation of the Anglican community in Brussels,
an eligible site having been procured. Subscriptions have been
occasionally made, and the building has been proceeded with,
and it i3 expected to be shortly completed and opened for
service. In the meantime the committee are greatly in want of
funds, and appeal to their countrymen in England, particularly
to all past residents in Brussels, both English and Americans,
to assist them in completing their work, Subscriptions to the
building fund may be paid to the Union Bank of London, as
correspondents for Messrs. Bigwood and Morgan, of Brussels,
the bankers of tlie committee.

A more wonderful gorge or canyon than that of the Yose-
mite, but similar to it in its peculiarities of towering granite
cliffs aud lofty waterfalls, hasbeen recently discovered and ex¬
plored. It is situated seventeen miles north of the Yosemite
Valley, and is called the Great Tuolumne Canyon. One of the
main rivers of the State foams in rapids, thunders in waterfalls,
and flows in milk-white eddies through this gorge, which is
twenty miles long, with an average width of about a quarter
of a mile. The Yosemite Valley is only six miles in length,
with an average breadth of nearly a mile. The narrowness of
the Tuolnmne Gorge gives an appearance of still greater eleva¬
tion to its precipitous boundary walla, some of which rise to a
height of three-quarters of a mile above the river, at the bottom
of tlie canyon. The largest of the few' glaciers met with in the
United States are to be found in this wild portion of the
Sierra Nevada range of mountain!?. Forests of trees of the
order Sequoia Gigantea, and of the largest and finest descrip¬
tions of the sugar, yellow, and white pine-trees in the United
States, exist in this high mountain region. The main peaks of
tlie Siena Nevada chain have an elevation of over 13,000 ft.

It appears from the last returns that the aggregate income
of our life-assurance offices is more than 15 \ millions sterling,
that their total accumulated funds are over 113 millions, and
that the assurances in force represent nearly 353 millions.

At a meeting, on Wednesday night, between the delegates
and tiie employers at Elswick engino aud ordnance works,
Newcastle-ou-Tyne, where about 2500 men are employed, an
amicable settlement of the wages dispute was come to. Tho
men are to receive an advance of from 3s. to 4s. Gd. per week,
according to their wages, in three separate advances of an
equal amount, the first to be given at once, the second in May,
and the third in next January. The decision will settle the
dispute in the factories.

In a newly-issued charge Bishop Wordsworth draws a moral
from the abolition of puveliase in the Army, and denounces

titled to take his seat in the House (under the Manchester
Bishopric Act) until a vacancy arises in a diocese other than
Canterbury, York, London, Durham, or Winchester.

Tlie annual court of the Clergy Orphan Corporation was
held on Thursday, under tho presidency of Lord. Hatherley.
The report showed that tlie ordinary income for 1873 was
£9895, and the expenditure £11,393. The deficiency had been
partially met by the sale of capital, but it had boen found
necessary to reduce the number of orphans in the school by
seven, although the applications for admission had been pain¬
fully urgent.

The Bishop of Ely. in instituting a clergyman at Chesterton,
on Tuesday, delivered an adilress, in which ho urgod the abso¬
lute necessity for daily service being instituted in every parish,
and the celebration of the holy communion at leant weekly,
without which no clergyman could keep religion alive in his
heart. He spoke in very condemnatory terms of the family
pews of the Church, and urged the immediate necessity of
restoration and the removal of all distinctions.

The Archbishop of York presided, on Tuesday, at the inau¬
gural meeting of the Hull branch of the Seamen’s Mission. His
Grace said tlie country was now awaking to a sense of its duty,
yet tlie balance remained on the wrong side. In the evening
hisGrace addressed an audience of about 3000 persons connected
with the Church of England Temperance Society. He did not
wish to hector and dragoon the people of England into the virtue
of temperance. He did not even hope by legislative moans to
force rules of temperance upon the people. He believed
such an idea to bo perfectly vain unless the foundation was first
laid in the minds aud convictions of the people themselves. He
had long thought the Church of England had been a little too
dainty about dealing with the great question. His Grace at
some length pointed out tho advantages of temperance.

FOX-HUNTING IN FRANCE.

Although stag-hunting has been a favourite sport for many
years in France, the cJiasse au Menard is quite of modern date.
There is no reason, however, why it should not be there
brought to perfection, as foxes are plentiful, the country m
most parts is open, and hounds and horses can easily bo pro¬
cured from England. Perhaps it would be advisable that our
volatile neighbours should borrow our hunting costume. A
plain scarlet coat, a pair of well-made breeches, and neat top-
boots would certainly look better than the embroidered coat,
the heavy iack-boot, the French horn, and the couleau de chaese
of the sportsmen represented in our Illustration. The servant s
dress, too, his coat and hat bedizened with gold lace, might
well be exchanged for the simple attire of a Moltonian groom--
dark pepper-and-salt coat, top-boots, and leathers. 1 lie pack
does'not appear to be very numerous, which seems fortunate, as
the wily animal, we see, has not got much of a start, and
the gentleman and ladv in the distance determined on winning
the brush. But the sketch is very spirited, and gives a fair
tion of French fox-hunting. . ,

Had the life of the Due d’Orleans been spared, ms Royal
Richness would probably have bocome a master of foxhounds ;
for he was devoted to the chase, and liis huntmg establishment
was that of a thorough sportsman, free from the “ pomp and
ciicuimtanoe” of foreign Royalty. It is only within a few
veais that sporting books and newspapers have appeared in
France. The French are indebted to us for their favourite
phrase “Le Sport,” which includes every tield amusement.
Nothing could be tamer or more dull than stag-hunting was in
France It was a system of galloping up and .down large forests
amidst the sound of horns, the anathemas of the Royal hunts¬
men the hallooing of the piqueurs, the yells of the hounds a i
they were ridden over by some forward Nimrod, and the shout 3
of the assembled population on foot.

As the love for the “noble science” increases writers
will probably arise, in every nation, to describe it glories,
since from time immemorial hunting has been the theme
of prose and poetical authors. The works of Xenophon,
Pliny, Homer, Virgil, and Ovid abound in descriptions of
hounds and horses. Our own Shakspearo ha3 eulogised the
“echoes loud, redoubled and redoubled, concourse mid of
mirth and jocund din.” Of all the poets, however, Somerville
must be noticed as not only a speculative, but a real sports¬
man. His language, sentiments, and the incidents ho describes
display a thorough knowledge of the subjects he writes upon.
His correct description of the kennel, his vivid portraiture of
the hounds, his philosophical discussion upon scent, and liis
lively and iull-length portraiture of fox-huuting—the “casting 1 ’
of the hounds, their working upon the scent, the un¬
kenneling of the fox, his breaking cover, and the full cry of the
pack are most exciting pictures. We strongly advise those
interested in the cha*t>e au Renard to employ some talented
writer to translate Somerville’s “Chase” into French. The
truly graphic delineation by Guillaume Regamey, which we
have engraved, shows that there arc artists in France fully
competent to illustrate such a work ; and it is one that w*e
think would be sought for with avidity by La Jeune France.

THE FESTIVITIES IN RUSSIA.

In addition to the sketches by our Special Artist which have
been published upon the occasion of the marriage of liis Royal
Highness the Duke of Edinburgh to tho Grand Duchess Marie,
daughter of the Emperor of the Russias, wo give an
Illustration of tho grand fete on the ice, prepared by the
English Neva Skating Club, at which the Prince and Priuces3
of Wales, the Duke and Ducheas of Edinburgh, Prince
Arthur, the Czarevitch and Czarevna, the Crown Prince of
Denmark, and the Grand Dukes Vladimir and Alexis were
present. This beautiful entertainment was on the nighc of the
I lth in&t. The Neva Skating Club occupy in winter several
acres of inclosed river ice, nearly opposite the English church.

, had converted this space into an EJysiaa field of ice
temples, magnesium lights, coloured lamps and fires, pavilions,
and bullets. All round the ice-field were hung chains of lamps,
red and blue and green, festooned in pretty patterns. At one
side was the Royal pavilion, with a small supper-room behind,
built cn the ice. * Opposite this were two kiosks for military
bands. At each end of the skating-field were cloak and refresh¬
ment rooms for the general company. In the centre of the
inclosure rose a castle of frn«n w-Mnht » trophy of ice masonry,
cun verted into a ch apt lie ardente by a blaze of kres and lanterns
burning at its windows and battlements. Small citadels were
also built at the comers of the inclosed space, their mimic
architecture flushed with Bengal lights burning within. But
the most beautiful decoration was the soft light streaming
from electric or magnesium lamps fixed at intervals round
the inclosure. Tho Royal guests seemed to enjoy themselves
heartily ; and the English committee of management—Messrs.
Edward GibsoD, E. J. Morgan, A. F. Clarke, E. Uattley, and
H. Andersen—must be congratulated on the success of their
arrangements.

The subject of another Illustration is the scene upon the
arrival of the Emperor of Austria at St. Petersburg, on the Rich,
inst. His Majesty was met at the railway station by the
Emperor of Russia, the Prince of Wales and tho other English
Princes, the Czarewitek and Russian Grand Dukes. The t,vo
Emperors were conveyed from the station through tho city to
the imperial Palace in a closed carriage, followed by General
Trcpofl, Chief of Police, in a sleigh drawn by two horses ; and
the Princes came alter, in sleighs of the same kind. They
passed beneath a triumphal arch from Great Morskaya, as
show n in our Illustration.

It is stated that Mr. Crum-Ewing, late M.P. for Paisley, is
to be Lord Lieutenant of Dumbartonshire, in the place of the
late Sir James Colqulioun.

Mr. F. W. Burton will be appointed Director of the National
Gallery in the place of Sir W* box a 11, R. A, who resigned that
cilice two months ago. Sir W. Roxall, who succeeded Sir Charles
Eastlake in 1865, carries with him into his retirement the
respect earned by high-minded and ungrudging devotion to the
duties which he admirably discharged,

A meeting was held at the Watercress and Flower Girls’
Mission, Laystall-street, on Tuesday, in connection with the
“Emily Loan Fund,” of w'hich the Earl of Shaftesbury is the
president. The object of the fund, which has been established
some time, is to advance to this very poor class of the com¬
munity the small capital they may require to set them up in
business during the winter, when the supply of cresses and
flowers fails. Already nearly 300 poor street liawkera have
been assisted by the fund, and many have been thus kept from
actual pauperism, in connection with the fund there are
religiou? services, school, penny banks, &o. About 200 girls
sat clown to tea on Tuesday night, and the Earl of Shaftesbury
presided at the subsequent meeting.

NATIONAL SPOUTS.

V oltigeur—the chief representative of the Blacklock blood, the
merits and demerits of which have given rise to so much fierce
controversy — received a kick from a mare on Saturday last,
which broke one of bis thighs, and necessitated his immediate
destruction. He was a comparative failure as a sire, but wdl
be much missed by Dr. Shorthouse, who will truly be able
to say, “Othello’s occupation’s gone.” Voitigeur w r as by
no means a promising yearling; indeed, he was returned
unsold from Doncaster, as no one would give 100 ga. for him ;
but, as a tw o-year-old, he performed so well in a trial that the
late Lord Zetland bought him for £1000 and certain contin¬
gencies. Ridden by Job Maraon, he won the Derby ; and also
secured the St. Leger, after a dead-heat with Ilussborough,
who was greatly interfered with, in the run off, by the
crowd Bw T arming into the course. The Doncaster Cup wa 3 ,
however, his crowning triumph, as at weight for age ho beat
the hitherto undefeated Flying Dutchman. Thri race led to
tkejfamous match, w r hicli is one of the great landmarks of turf
history, and in which the Hying Dutchman fully revenged him¬
self on liis conqueror. It is generally believed that Voltigeur was
over-trained for tliis engagement; and, in any case, it is certain
that he never again displayed much form. Vedette, Sabreur,
The Ranger, Buckstone, Fortunio, The Starter, Tibtliorpe, and
Falkland are about the best of his descendants.
t: From various causes, the Waterloo Gup scarcely excited as
1 much attention as usual this year, but the running for it was
of a most sensational character, as favourite after favourite
succumbed in succession ; and finally Magnano an l Surprise,
against each of which 200 to 1 could have been obtained afier
the draw had taken jjlace, were put iuto the slips to run off the
1 final course. In the first round Fugitive, who performed in the
much-talked-of trial with Peasant Boy, ran clean away from
Satire, and was at once made first favourite for the Cup;
Tyrant was too fast for Royal Mary, the chief hope of Ireland;
and then came a terrible blow to backers, for Muriel, starting
very slowly, was led to the hare by Magnano, and beaten in a
short and not very satisfactory trial. Mr. Jardine was also
unlucky wdth two of his other representatives. Progress being
well beaten by Diacticua, and Lucetta succumbing to Barcarolle.
Peasant Boy bad some trouble in defeating the moderate Rod
Prince, and had so evidently lost the smartness which charac¬
terised him on his two previous essays that he became a worse
favourite than before his victory. Fugitive again rau well in
the first tits; bat White Slave, Mr. Jardine’s last representa¬
tive, was put out by Willie Gal wey. Old Black Knight ran
with all the fire of a puppy, and, in spite of a heavy fall, beat
Croesus cleverly. Magnano never allowed British Crown to
score a point, and Diacticus ran one of the most brilliant courses
of the meeting against Wlrinblossom. Odds of 3 to 1 were laid
on Peasant Boy against Surprise; but the latter not only led
“the black ” to the hare, but had far the best of the work in a
long trial, to the great delight of the crowd, with whom Peasant
Boy has always been very unpopular. In the second ties
Magnano had to run twice against Tyrant, and only just beat
him “ at the second time of asking ;Amethyst, though ma¬
iling unsteadily, was too fast for Milky Way, and Surprise fairly
outworked Barcarolle. Fugitive commenced the third ties with
a very brilliant exhibition against Willie Gal wey ; Magnano and
Diacticua were far too good for Sir William Don and Amethyst
respectively; and Bannockburn was beaten pointless by
Surprise. Fugitive was backed at 7 to 4 against Magnano
in the fourth ties, but the latter took tho first
turn by several lengths, and, after Fugitive had
scored three or four points, drew past him and effected
a very meritorious kill; and, after an undecided, Sur¬
prise gave Diacticus no eliance. The final course was vory close,
and Magnano, who took -first turn, just won, owing to liis
superior speed. The winner is by Cauld Kail—Isolde, and
belongs to Mr. C. Morgan, a south-country courser ; while Sur¬
prise, nominated by Air. Massey, is the property of Mr.
Martelli, and is by Sir William—Modesty.

Want of space will not allow' us to go fully into the running
for the Purse and Plate. In the former, Muriel and Progress,
who seemed to have recovered the effects of the trials which
they w ere injudiciously allowed to run on the previous Satur¬
day, showed tlieir best form, and eventually divided ; and Mr.
Jardine also ran up for the Plate with White Slave, by
Improver—Emma Snow, who wa 9 beaten by Gallant Foe, by
Don Antonio—Maggie Smith, in the final course. Peasant Boy
had been sent home lame, and took no part in thi 3 stake.

Earl Granville presided, on Tuesday evening, at a banquet
given at the Lord Warden Hotel, Dover, to the Earl of Guil-
*<wl, master of the East Kent foxhounds.

For nearly two years W. Cook has been left in undisturbed
possession of the title of billiard champion; but, at length,
John Roberts, jun., once more challenged him, and the match
took place at St. James’s Hall on Tuesday evening last. Every
seat was occupied; indeed, so many people were refused admis¬
sion, that the players would do well to secure a larger room on
future occasions. Roberts broke the balls, and was the first
to score, but had only made 7 when Cook got well away with
a superb contribution of 121 (the largest break ever made on a
champions hip table), and followed this up with 82 and 40,
which brought him to 244 against 18. His wonderful delicacy
of touch and knowledge of strength was never better exhibited
than in these breaks, which included some beautiful cannons.
It was now Roberts’s turn, and in four successive innings he
made 110, "while his opponent only added 5. An opportune
fluke enabled the champion to add 61 to his score, against
w hich Roberts contributed 25, 24, and 45, reaching 295 to 379 ;
but Cook once more drew away, and, at the interval, liad
reached 537 to 397. On resuming play, Roberts at first made
up a little of bis lost ground, but the advantage was only tem¬
porary, for Cook again increased his lead, and, though no
larger breaks were made on either side, won by 216 points.
The game lasted 3 hours 41 minutes.

O 11 Monday last, in spite of tho incessant rain, a large
number of spectators assembled at Kennington Oval to witness
the football-match between picked twenties of England and
Scotland, which was played under the Rugby Union rules.
The visitors were undoubtedly the faster team; but England
made up for this by more combined play, and, when “time”
was called, had won a hardly-contested game by one goal against
a try. v\ e append the names of the players •_

£1200 for the purchase of pictures this year for the gallery

An action has been brought against Mr. Hayes, the Ik
artist, a member of the Royal Hibernian Academy, for in j
arising out of the “Civic Celebrities” caricatures, attribute»
him, the plaintiff being Sir Wm. Carroll The publication
which the action is based represents the plaintiff in the cost ,
of a clown, with his left foot and leg enormously swollen ^
a ridiculous legend appended. Damages are laid at £>ijo ’

Active arrangements are being made for the adequate re
sentation of French art and industry at this year's Internati^i
Exhibition. French artists are making large demands for°tV»
admission of their pictures and works of art. The city 0 f p
will exhibit an extensive illustration of the muniqaufi Wop j
the French capital, accompanied by models of public buildin?
and sanitary appliances.

There was a grand show, on Friday week, of Mr.Vem
Heath’s landscape autotypes, in the library of the Royal In ♦?
tution, when that gentleman read a paper, which is reported h
another column. We take this opportunity of drawing
tion to the extraordinary perfection to which Mr.Vernou HtrK
has brought landscape-photography, as exemplified in if
large autotypes. To consummate artistic taste in the select!^
of his subjects he combines rare skill in the management o? S
chemicals, so that liis half-tones are always clear and hi!
shadows are never black. The picture of “ A Fallen Monarch,’ 1
an ancient tree laid low by a tempest, is a grand example ,,f
successful autotype photography. Mr. Vernon Heath's col.
lection, at 43, Piccadilly, iB well worthy of a visit.

Some of the first reports as to losses of pictures in the fire ^
the Pantechnicon are, we are glad to know, unfounded or
exaggerated. No pictures of importance belonging to Sir
Richard Wallace are destroyed, though all will regret to lan
that he has lost armour, plate, objets d'arfc, and fnnutar»
collectively of great value, and including articles of grlu
nu*ity. Air. Wynn Ellis lias lost none of the old master* of
his collection, several of which arc of historical imports I
Some modern pictures belonging to M>. Ellis were destroy!
but they were not of very considerable value. A most puntd
loss has, however, been sustained by Mr. Brittau Willy, tjj
well-known animal-painter of the Old Water-Colour Socuty.
The entire series of sketches, studies, and drawing* of Uim
artist were destroyed, together with many works bv J. I)
Harding and other members of the Water-Colour Society!
The entire collection was about 2000 in number, and repre 39 n$ei
a money value of several thousand pounds. The artu« u*m
works were the efforts of a long and laborious life, ohiriy
drawn from nature in the three kingdoms, on the ContoneJt,
and in America. The artist, who is at a distance from home
in enfeebled health, and, we regret to add, tminsur&l, ia
prostrated by the disaster.

A movement is on foot at Oxford to raise a subscription for
I the purpose of procuring the restoration of the paintings on tho
walls of the Union debating-room, which are now°r*pidiy
decaying. The coBt of the proposed restoration is estimate! to
be not less Ilian £700, and the restoration is strongly opposod
; by a majority of the members, because the Bociety is uovr iu
debt, as w'cll as for other reasons. The paintings in question
, are illustrative of the Arthurian romances, and the immature
productions of Messrs. Rossetti, Burne Jones, V. Princup, aui,
if we remember rightly, one or two other painters oi tiw
romantic section of the pre-Knphnelites. The paintings are of
/ small artistic value, unless regarded as marking a revival m
our school, which has, however , proved nearly abortive.
Moreover, the works are executed in distemper, not in geuaiiw
I or buon fresco; it is therefore impossible for them to slid
this climate, and to restore them effectually would involve ttair
entire repainting in some durable medium.

Our N umber for last w eek contained portraits and memflin
of two artists who had respectively reached the ages of ninety-
tw o and ninety-five years. A still more remarkable instance of
artistic longevity is that of Count Waldeck, the painter,
residing at Paris, who has, says Galiynani , just arrive! at lb:
great age of 108 years, and is in excellent health. In 182$ M.
Waldeck, being then sixty, and in want of money, offerel axa?
of his pictures for sale at the Ecole des Beaux Arts, and a&kd
40,000 francs for them. M. Bastard, the director, replied tint
the resources at Iris command did not permit him to make i
purchase of that importance, but offered to procure the painter
an annual allowance of 2000 francs. This was done, an! th*
Count has therefore received during forty-eight years a t -Lai
sum of 96,000 francs.

It is remarkable that in Paris, although the number of
French artists is doubtless proportionately greater thin the
number of English artists, an art-exhibition other than that of
the Salon is of rare occurrence : there is nothing corresponding
to . the multitude of exhibitions by independent bodies w
artists which we have here. The want of additional exhi¬
bitions has indeed been long felt, and at length a * ,c5 '
operative ” society of artists has been formed to supply the
desideratum. The objects of tho society aro the organises
of open exhibitions, without jury or honorary awards, at which
each member may exhibit his w'orks; the sale of the ^
works; and the publication of a journal relating exclusively
to the arts. The society is composed of painters, sculpted
engravers, and lithographers. The exponses are to be met ty
charges on the entries of works, and commission on sales;
should any profit arise it is to be divided among the member*-

According to the French critics, the statue of Joan of Arc.
lately erdeted at Paris on the Place des Pyramifies, does v
little honour to the memory of the heroine as does the sit:rc oi
y oltaire. The attitude, say these authorities, suggest* l 3 ?
idea of a gamin on horseback; the statue has no li^ic
qualities, and the face is equally devoid of character, beauty,
and expression.

The * 4 Venus of Falcrone, ” a statue in Parian marble, fo flQ ^
in 1836, iu the town of Falcrone, among the ruins of 13
ancient theatre, has been added to the sculpture galleries ot
the Louvre. The statue closely resembles, but, though
ful, is inferior in style and execution to, the famous V enus 0
Milo in the same galleries. It is conjectured by M. Ravais^
the curator of the antiques of the Louvre, and other cook®**'
seurs, that each of these statutes once belonged to a g rJ3 P.
completed by a statue of Mars, such as the two groap* 01
Venus and Mars to be seen in the Ufizi at, Florence. To-’ ^
jecture acquires some probability from the fact that the Wl
side of the \ enus of Milo, which would, in a group, be ^
ceded by the form of Mars, is less carefully chissllei thua 38

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS

199

AMONG THE NOVELISTS.

The first volume of The Blue Ribbon , by the author of “ St.
Olavc’s,” Ac. (Hurst and Blackett), creates a feeling of almost
enthusiastic admiration, and leads one to anticipate extra¬
ordinary gratification. And, indeed, that single volume is
worth a round dozen of even the most highly-praised recent
novels ; so fresh, piquant, and exquisitely pathetic are the
portions it contains of the whole story. Nor do the author’s
creations resemble mere airy phantoms of the brain ; they seem
to have coverings of solid flesh and plenty of strong backbone.
Nearly all the characters have their distinct peculiarities, and
at once enlist the reader’s interest or sympathy. We may fear
that Mr. Ballinger, amusing as he is for a while, will eventually
become a bore ; but he promises to compensate for that by
developing into a thorougn villain. The mystery that hangs
about Patch combines with her fierce temper, her foreign
tongue, and her gift of song, to set expectation on tiptoe. We
acknowledge in Gurtha an excellent specimen of the rough,
honest, faithful, kindhearted, shrewd, laughable, somewhat irri¬
table, but wholly valuable and greatly lovable, domestic ser¬
vant ; and in Mrs. Bratchet an equally excellent specimen of the
motherly, garrulous, conscientious, overworked old woman, as
ludicrous as she is good and as good as she is ludicrous, whoso
religious views are nondescript but strong, and who mingles
the washing of linen with the singing of psalms. The widowed
mother ana her caves and her struggles and her triumphs, aud
the stranger who befriends her aud the friends who desert her,
are very truthfully and touchingly described ; and the society
of the cathedral city is slightly and partially, but vividly and
characteristically,"sketched. The brother and sister, the strong,
manly boy and the weak, deformed girl, the former the uncon¬
scious cause of the latter’s life-long cross, take one’s heart by
storm from the very moment when we see them, first fishing
for minnows together, then cutting into fantastic shapes and
ultimately devouring blancmange together, and then “ making
believe ”*to bo at au astronomical lecture together. So sweet
and noble a conception as the girl required very tender, careful,
delicate treatment ; and very tenderly, carefully, and deli¬
cately it IB treated. We take to the old scientific gentleman,
too, from the very day when he rides up to the wicket-gate
just in time to see one young gentleman knock another young
entkmau into a bed of nettles and to deliver some
ry remarks nnon the subject ; and we like him still
better as the tale proceeds and as we learn more and more
about the “works A of which he is the master; for then we
make the acquaintance of the pretty, charming, winning girl
who wears the “ blue ribbon ;” and surely a simpler, quainter,
more picturesque, more captivating maiden, beloved or Apollo
and the Muses, was never imported by novelist’s fancy from
her German home into this country to fascinate the hero aud
the readers of a novel. The second and third volumes are some-
what prolix and commonplace compared with the first volume ;
indeed, it was, perhaps, too much to expect that so excep¬
tionally good a beginning should have as exceptionally good a
continuation.

A collection of more or less exciting stories, written with
the skill that comes of experience strengthening natural apti¬
tude, is to be found in tne three volumes entitled Monsieur
Maurice, and Other Talcs , by Amelia B. Edwards (Hurst and
Blackett). If the tales were published with any object beyond
the perfectly legitimate one—which, it may safely be predicted,
will be attained— of affording a very appreciable amount of
entertainment to whosoever has leisure to read them, that
object , one would think, must be a revival of the
almost obsolete belief in ghosts and supernatural warn¬
ing a. Whether we read how Monsieur Maurice, the

Erencli prisoner on parole, was miraculously preserved
from firearms and poison; or how a third man, who came and
went like a puff of smoke, suddenly stood upon the steam-
engine, “and turned the steam off” just in time to prevent an
awful sacrifice of life; or how the brother of Egerton Wolfe
did or did not come back from the dead to save the living ; or
how twenty men without their leader are seen “riding through
the hollow nay” after they have been “out to pieces or how
Gustave Berghcim “avers that in that awful dream, in which
his senses came back to him, he distinctly saw, as in a vision,
the mouldering form beneath the hearth, and the others under
the sluggish waters of the pond or how the “gracious spirit”
of Salome was seen “thrice, haunting the spot where . . .
or how phantoms or illusions, or whatever they may bo most
properly called, are put to really useful work, and not to
mere thrumming of banjoes, or rapping of tables, or tying
and untying of knotted ropes, we are continually confronted
by the preternatural. Ono vision that may haunt the
reader all the way through is traceable to the fact
that the author has for the most part, if not entirely,
adopted the autobiographical form of narration ; and the con¬
sequence is that, to those who cannot divest themselves of what
has dung to them from a perusal of the titlepage, a grotesque
imago presents itself of an author epicene in gender, of fabulous
age, and engaged in all kinds of impossibilities.

There is plenty of wrild rattle, modified by something,
tuneful or other, of a more sobor kind, in Transmvjration, by
Mortimer Collins (Hurst and Blackett). It is a fanciful story,
the leading idea whereof may be gathered fiom the following
statement. The third volume opens with a startling announce¬
ment, from "which it is to he inferred that one and the same
person dies “at seven in the afternoon of the 29th of June,
1840, ” and is bom “at eleven in the evening of the 29th of June,
1840,” having passed the interval, chiefly amongst personages
famous in Grecian or Roman mythology or history, in the planet
Mai's. The author’s sentiments and speculations are pervaded
by carthiness, and be seldom or never rises above the sensuous,
not to say the sensual. According to him, a second existence
may enable you to marry the lovely woman whom you loved
and lost in your and her first existence ; but it does not appear
that, so far as your nature is concerned, you undergo what may
be properly termed metempsychosis; you do not seem to be-
<ome a superior, even if yon be not transformed into an
ii ferior, type of humanity; you have the same somewhat
g oveiling tastes and passions, though your reminiscences of a
u rmcr state of life may help you to astonish your teachers by
yt in manner of dealing with Euclid and arithmetic or to have
the advantage over a bullying school-fellow by your scientific
method of plying the fist. The novel is, in parts, very
an using and, throughout, very brisk, buoyant, and readable ;
but though the author's fancy was, as he himself states,
suggested to him by the very mouth of Wordsworth, who
quoted : —

Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting :

Tlie Soul that rises with us, our life’s star,

Bath had elsewhere its setting.

And cometh from afar,

he has worked it up (or down) into a mundane structure,
w herein Strasbourg pie and strong drink are not by any mean?
prohibited, such as the illustrious poet may not have contem¬
plated. One of the author’s curious notions is that “in the
2 >resent state of Great British modesty it is hard to put int i
sufficiently decorous prose anything that bridegroom and bride
are liktiy to say to each other^when yachting in the Med.

terranean.” Surely there is some mistake here ; there is either
a complete misapprehension of facts or a great inaccuracy of
expression. That the conversation of a newly-married couple
would be uninteresting to anybody but themselves is likely
enough, if not quite certain ; but that it is, as a matter of course,
indecorous and calculated to shock “ Great British modesty,”
and that the author, “ as a moral man,” cannot record anything
of the kind in his pages, is an assertion at which one’s hair
w ould stand on end, if one’s sides did not shake with derisive
laughter.

Two or three bushels of short stories, such as ohildren and
some adults delight in, with fairies and brownies and all sorts
of impossible creatures performing all sorts of impossible feats,
are contained with in the covers of Tales from the Fjeld , from
the Norse of P. Chr. Asbjornsen, by E. W. Dasent, D.C.L.,
(Chapman and Hall). Some of the stories are quaint and pretty
and amusing enough of themselves; some are interesting because
of the witness they bear to a family likeness between what is
called the folklore of all nations ; some are of an allegorical or
quasi-allegorical kind, and probably teach a moral lesson to
those who are sharp enough to detect it; all are of the good,
old-fashioned, seven-league-booted sort. There are many
reasons for supposing that the translation is well dono ; and
therefore, as the translation does not exhibit many, if any,
murks of fancy's higher and more poetical moods, it may be
taken for granted that they would not be discovered even in
the original. The collection, in fact, is not much, if at all,
above the level of “Gammer Gurton.”

LAW AND POLICE.

TRIAL OF THE TICHBORNE CLAIMANT FOR PERJURY.

The Lord Chief Justice, yesterday week, continued his sum¬
ming up of the evidence in the Tichborne trial. Before pro¬
ceeding with it, however, he called attention to a letter sent to
him by Mr. Guildford Onslow, which had been elicited by some
observations of the learned Judge a day or two previously. In
this communication Mr. Onslow explained the part he had taken
in reference to some of the pecuniary details of this case. His
Lordship, in the course of the day, reviewed the defendant’s
statements upon points on which it must he assumed that Roger
Tichborne possessed the necessary knowledge, such as liis life
at Stony hurst, in the Army, and in South America, and drew’
notice to many discrepancies between these statements and
the facts as they must have been known to Roger Tichborne.

Defendant’s version of his school life at Sfconyhurat was
summed up on Monday. Taking the authentic account obtained
from the family correspondence, the Lord Chief Justice showed,
ono after another, the many instances in which the defendant
was at fault. The ingenious theories and assumptions by which
his counsel had attempted to reconcile discrepancies were
treated as requiring very little refutation. The cottage in
which he said ne had lived could not be discovered on satis¬
factory evidence. His statement of the date when he left
Stonyhurst was directly at variance with tho. college records.
His Lordship proved still more against the defendant from cases
in which he remembered too much—as when he told Mr.
Hold and, the drawing-master, about the Rev. Father Walmesley,
who had not been rector of the college until after Mr. Hollland’s
time ; and in his alleged meeting with Mr. Bertram Talbot at
Bilton Grange, which was contradicted by Mrs. Hibbert, the
lady of the house. It was shown that defendant’s account of
his examination at Sandhurst did not tally w ith tho facts.

On Tuesday his Lordship went over many of the salient
episodes in Roger’s life, applying to them tho question—
“Could Roger’s memory of these have been like the de¬
fendant’s?” Among the incredible things that the defendant
had forgotten were Roger’s last visit to Mr. Seymour at Bath,
his acquaintance with Lady Clanricavde and other people of
fashion in Dublin, his correspondence while in Ireland, the
books he had read and annotated, and his military knowledge
both as respects his ow*u regiment and the army generally.
His Lordship clenched these disproofs of identity w ith a series
of|Special objections. As to the defendant’s having forgotten
liis native tongue, it might not be intellectually impossible, but
it must be a very exceptional case, and w’as all the more sur¬
prising in a man whose memory seemed to be marvellously
tenacious in other matters. Roger’s love for his cousin, Miss
Doughty, inspired his Lordship with the most solemn reflec¬
tions, unfavourable to the defendant. It was a feeling, he
thought, which could never have died in Roger’s heart.

The Lord Chief Justice, before resuming the summing up'on
Wednesday, informed the jury that ho required a day s rest,
and therefore the Court would not sit on Thursday. He
thought he could conclude his observations on the evidence on
Friday, and that tw’o hours on Saturday would finish the whole,
so that by midday the jury would be able to consider their
verdict. The learned Judge then went into an exhaustive
examination of the circumstances surrounding the scaled packet
and the relations between Roger Tichborne and his cousin. Miss
Doughty. His Lordship’s treatment of this part of the case
was followed with deep attention by a crowded court.

In the Rolls Court on Tuesday a bill filed by a trustee to
ascertain the validity of a deed by which property had been
made over to a convent in Belfast, by a lady wno had become
a nun, was dismissed with costs by the blaster, Sir George
Jcssel, who said the plaintiff’s proceeding was most unjustifi¬
able ; for that ho had nothing to do in the matter but to carry
out the wishes of the lady, who might order her possessions to
be thrown into the sea if she chose.

By consent, a verdict of £150 was taken, in the Court of
Exchequer, last Saturday, to compensate the widow and
children of an arm}* accoutrement maker, who, sustaining a
mental shock by a gas explosion, which hapi>ened as ho was
passing the house of the defendant, died, after a painful
illness, raving mad.

Xu the Court of Exchequer an action was brought, on Mon-
day, by Mr. John Glendinning, a com merchant, at XesveastIc¬
on-Tyre, to recover from a “bookmaker” calling himself
Pleasant Hook the sum of £100, deposited with the defendant
as stakeholder during the Birmingham races, in July last, and
having re ference to the question whether a horse named Hermit
won the Two Thousand Guineas Stakes. The allegations were
denied by the defendant; but a verdict was given for the
plaintiff—damages, £100.

Lord dc Mauley summoned Captain Carr on Monday, at
Mnrlloiom h-street, for an assault committed at the Horse
Agency, in Piccadilly, where the defendant has an office. A
fine of twenty shillings, "with costs, was inflicted.

M. Riviere appeared, on Tuesday, at Westminster, with the
woman wLo, a short time ago, made a statement there about
some music having been abstracted from her luggage, an i after¬
wards published under another name, bliss Wood, t.io com¬
plainant, new absolutely w ithdrew her charge, and her retracta¬
tion was enhanced by the evidence of her landlady that she
was not over-sane.

' In hearing another batch of summonea against parents for
not sending their children to school, Mr. Ingham entertained tho
question w hether aninspector might not be employed to go about
and look after the truants.

In the Sheriffs’ Court, on Wednesday, Mr. Hynam sued
for compensation for the compulsory taking of his premises in
Princes-sqnarc and Wilson-street, Finsbury, they being re¬
quired for the London and North-Western Railway for a now
station. A verdict for £10,000 was agreed upon.

Mr. Charles Semple, lately a Lieutenant in the 93rd High¬
landers, w as charged at the Middlesex Sessions, on Wednesday,
with assaulting Mr. Henry Frisby, a member of the Stock
Exchange. Bepileadcd guilty to a common assault, and was
fined £50. She was also ordered to enter into his own recog¬
nisances in £500, and to find two sureties each in the sum of
£250, to keep the peace for twelve months.

Antonio Antoniadis, twenty-three years of age, who is said
to be an Englishman, notwithstanding the Greek name he had
assumed, and who had already been committed for trial on a
charge of obtaining £40 on the false pretence that he was a
member of the firm of Baring Brothers, was, on Monday, placed
before the Lord Mayor on a fresh accusation of forgery and
fraud, and upon this also was sent for trial.

Colonel Allen, of Curzon-street, Mayfair, was, on Wednes¬
day’, summoned to Marl borough-street for an assault on his valet,
and w as fined £5 and costs.

The Countess de Civry, also calling herself the Countess do
Par, w as again placed before Mr. Knox, yesterday week, charged
with having obtained a large quantity of goods from various
tradesmen by fraud. She was committed for trial, bail having

At Westminster Police Court, yesterday week, Mr.
Conquest, mi Ik-seller, Montpelier-street, Brompton, appeared
to an adjourned summons charging him with selling milk

the guilty party, it was said, was the man who sent it from the
country. He had been in the habit of calling for his accoimt
every three w etks, but since these proceedings w’ere taken he
had never been near the place, aud another sample of his millr
was found to contain 1G per cent of water. The defendant said
he intended to proceed against that person, first for selling
adulterated milk, and then by action to" recover damages for
the loss the defendant had sustained by conviction. Mr.

ingly heavy—£0 12s. Gd.

his head w as at the same time severely’ cut.

A daring attempt at shop robbery w T as made at Windsor on

mises for a working men’s club, reading and refreshment rooms,
and lecture-halls, capable of accommodating GOO or 700 persons.

held, closing this (Saturday) evening. The proceeds will be

FEB. 28, I 874

THE LATE M. MICHELET.

The death of this learned and popular French
■writer has been mentioned. J ulc3 Michelet
was born at Paris in 1798. He early dis¬
tinguished himself as a student of history', and
was, in 1821, appointed to a chair in the
College Sainte Barbe, where he taught t lie
ancient languages and philosophy uatfi I*™*
Shortly after the Revolution of 1S30 he was

S tnted chief of the historical section of the
ves of the realm ; and M. Guizot, unable
on account of his political duties to continue
his lectures on history in the I acuity of Litera¬
ture in Paris, named Michelet as his substitiiue.
In 1838 he succeeded M. Dimon in the chair
of history in the College de France, and was
elected member of the Institute. M. Michelet
regarded history as ‘‘philosophy teaching by
example.” His first work, “Tableaux Syn-
chroniques de l’Histoire Modcrne,” appeared
in 1S26 ; his “ Histoire de France,” m 1883-63 ;
and liia “Histoire de la Revolution h rancaise,
in 1847-53. He was a great opponent of the
Jesuits, against whom he has written I)c3

Jesuites,” published in 1843 ; P a . de

la Femme, et de la Famille, m 1844 ; and
“ lhi People,” in 1846. He wrote “ L Oiaeau,
published in 1856; “ L’Insecte, m 1So7 ;

“ L'Amour,” in 1858 ; " La Femme, in 18dJ ;
“La Mer,” in 1S61 ; “La Sorciere, in 1862 ;
“ La Bible del’Humanit4,” in 1864; and “Nos
Fils,” a plea for compulsory education, m 18o9.
The Government of Napoleon III. m
1851, interdicted his lectures, and he from that
time retired into private life. ■■

The portrait is from a photograph, p>y
Rcutlinger, of Paris.

FUNCHAL, MADEIRA.

The island of Madeira, famous for it3 mild
winter climate, and frequently sought by the
consumptive patients of England for a refuge
in that season, has lately received a few of the
victims of West African fever, disabled from
exposure to the climate of the Gold Coast in
our Ashantee war. Madeira i3 situated in the
Atlantic Ocean, about latitude 32 deg. N.,
longitude 17 deg. W., 400 mile3 off the north¬
western shore of Africa. The island is nearly
forty-two miles long and twenty mile3 broad.
It is mountainous, being a mass of basalt
rock, with summits from 403 ) ft. ta 6000 ft.
high, but it is intersected by fertile valleys,
with streams of clear water. The vineyards
are formed on the sides of the hills, to the
height of 2300 ft. above the sea level. In the
lower parts many tropical plants are cultivated,
the sugar-cane, the date palm, and maize.
The population is about 100,0 )0, of mixed race,
but the Portuguese nationality is in the ascend¬
ant. Madeira was discovered and colonised
by the Portuguese in the fifteenth century.
We present a view of the harbour and town] of
Funchal, the only town in the island.

ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS.

Hontu awn Shop Pn.nsr.nni, when Judiciously purchitMd and
uianacrd. urc very remunerative. They not uuly produce <ui
immediate return upon the capital Invested, but they nwroaae in
value year by year, tho precise amount tUpfiDdlng on the nature or
tho prey crl irs and the Iocalftf fn which they arc rituxted.

According to tho lengthened experience (nearly twenty-ihree
years) of the Directors of tho Bixkbock Building Society (tho largest
in the United Kingdom}, houses and shops bl every part of London
„ la j i>* Immediate suburbs ha VO, in numerous instance*, doubled tu
zcuiid vaiut. within the lust twenty-five years. It is not rare
indent, to find that a house which would havo bear deemui
highly rented twcutv year* ago at £ib 1* at the present day, con-
• tdcied ch unity reded nt £t>U or IWL In many ea*e» rents have
umuliupleU in amount within tho same period of lime, and there
appears to bo no limit to tlu> lncro»ec within a nulhu of about four
mbi* front rim General r’uri Ofiice. Intoolated localities, where rents
have f.d.nn, it will he found that there aic special catties to account
tor the depreciation.

No. withstanding these fact* there are row aavociatlons Uav ng or
their objiwt tho Invcetnuut ol money In the purchase of houses and
shops, and those cabling are on ft very limited scale. Building
hocietlw, which are popularly lupposcd to buy and sell houses, do
not act In a corporate capacity; they restrict their operations to
advau-.lug money to tLoir members for this purpose, and each
member acU tor himself. Thai the gantral results or* favourable
'be position of all wdl-mouaged building Sootoli-n suifldently
prove*, for they exhibit uuuiUt/vkablo signs of prosperity. and their
-• luu t# bear a high premium. As an iusUnco tlie last Annual Report
(the Twenry.second; ol tha Birktock Building Society sUtea that
i hates issued by it LnlS'j t, on which (omitting fractions) £31) have
toeu paid, axe now worth £72; those burned >u 1836 (amount paid,
£34) uie worth £52; while those issued in 1870, ou wuich £11 only
luis been paid, uro worth £16 at tho present time.

These Diets furnish sufficient evidence that House and Shop Pro-
1 erty, when dealt with on a large scale, altyttln a safu and lucrative
tnvvtiuicnt; but to eusure the most favourable terms the transac¬
tions moot, be ou a wide basis—dealing with Homes of all dosses—
na the mean* by which u fair profit con be secured. On this Prin¬
ciple Use Dirk beck Property Investment Trust will proceed — a
principle rouiewhat analogous to that of an Insurauce Office, whore
l rolit Is imidc by multiplying its risks and ax tending the area of
its tiMiisuctJona.

ihc operations of the Trad will be to purchase houses and
shop-, with their fixtures, fittings, *c„ a* they come Into the market.
In settled a: d impioving lucalltlcs In London and Its suburbs. Ar¬
rangements have already been inode, contingant upon the amount
of the certificates taken up, to enter Into possession of a ooruider-
oble number of houses, so that the capital represented by the Cer¬
tificate* may j leld an Immediate return.

The annual receipt* from tho rents of the houses, shops, ami other
irroperLea purchased will Its applied by tlie Trustee* after deduct-
tng expense*, in paying Interest. on tho Certificates. Iho excess,
together with tho proceeds of prupoiLw which may to sold when
fav arable opportunities arise, urul bo applied ns a sinking fund In
n joying the Certificate* at jtar. by annual orawmgs, extending
ovvr a period of twenty-five year* A sum, vnrving tn amount from
I to ft per cent In value of urn CcrUftcaUs, will bo paid off annually.

created a demand for free reed instruments of a superior quality' to

The instruments now offered to the public will be found divested

THE SIEGE OF CARTHAGENA.

The prolonged resistance of the Intransigcntes or Red Repub¬
lican insurgents of Spain to the military and naval forces of the
Madrid Government at Oarthagena is now an affair of the
post. Some interest may yet Delong to the subjects of our
present Illustrations, which are from sketches made by Mr.
Algernon Yockney, assistant paymaster of H.M.S. Torch,
showing the condition of the gates and batteries, and outlying
forts, immediately after the surrender of the town and the
entry of General Dominguez. The place seems to have been a

f ood deal knocked about, but there was not much loss of life.

t will be remembered thatthe rebel leaders, with several hundreds
of the men they had engaged in the defence of Oarthagena,
made their escape in two of the Spanish frigates. They arrived
at the French port of Oran, on the coast ot Algiers, where they
were allowed to land, but were disarmed and placed for a time
in confinement. The ships were, upon Remand, given up to
the Spanish Government. Our correspondent has furnished a
view of the port of Oran, with the Spanish and other ships of
war lying there, to illustrate the last act in that preposterous
exhibition of party strife, the performance of the Intranaigentes
of Oarthagena. _

ROYAL INSTITUTION LECTURES.

ANALOGIES OF ANCIENT AND RECENT LIFE.

Professor P. M. Duncan, M.D., F.R.S., began his sixth and
concluding lecture on Fakeontology by showing that the break
in the succession of living things at the close of the palaeozoic
age was not so great as has been asserted. He then noticed
the intermediate character of the Triassic corals, pointing out
that they clearly, in many instances, retained palaeozoic pecu¬
liarities in addition to those possessed by meeozoic species. The
nature of so-called “characteristic” fossils, and thoapparently
sudden appearanoe of certain groups of fossils and their equally
sudden disappearance, were next considered ; and it was sliown
that, in distant and equivalent strata, the “characteristic”
form became less so, and either did not exist, or was represented
by a similar but not identical species, which usually had an
extended range. The law that widely-ranging species are found
in many consecutive strata was noticed, as well as the nature of
endemic and widely-spreading sporadic forms ; the former being
limited to particular areas by physical conditions ; the latter
being true wanderers over the surface of the globe: all which tends
to substantiate the existence of distributional provinces of animals
and plants from the earliest times in the history of the earth. In
relation to the imperfection of the geological record, the Professor
described strata as the burial-places of the organisms of the
time of their deposition, ana usually accumulating during
the subsidences of the crust only. He then described the
nature of the lingalella, leperditia, and trilobita, the earliest
forms of life known at present except the eozobn, and com¬
mented on the structural relations of these eariy forms to those
of the present day, especially in regard to their embryonic
and progressively developed condition. After describing the
cephalopoda of the Tremadoc rocks and the gradual rise ol this
great group, followed by a notice of the anatomy of the
nautiliam, ammonitidee, and belemnitidae, Professor Duncan
commented on the remarkable relation between the shape of the
genera of nautilidte and ammonitid®, concluding his discourse
with remarks upon the difficulties which surround the two
opposite hypotheses of the day—the theories of the special
creation and of the evolution of living things.

THE AUTOTYPE PROCESS.

Mr. Vernon Heath, at the Friday evening meeting on the
20th inst., began his discourse by stating that he was present
in the lecture theatre, in January, 1839, when Mr. Faraday
announced two discoveries—the Daguerreotype, and that which
its author, Mr. Fox Talbot, then termed Photogenic Drawing.
Mr. Heath then illustrated the extraordinary progress which
photography had since made by contrasting a little calotype
taken by himself in 1842 and a very large, fine landscape re¬
cently produced by the autotype process. He briefly adverted
to the experimental researches of various ardent experimenters
who had endeavoured to remedy the well-known instability of
photographs, a defect which, he said, had been at last removed by
the autotype and its kindred processes. Among the persons
whose discoveries had conduced to this result he especially men¬
tioned Mungo Ponton, Becquerel, Poitevin, Pouncy, Blair, and
Swan ; the principles in the new process being the result of the
researches of Mr. J. R. Johnson. The basis of the autotype
process is the action of light upon gelatine and a pigment
in contact with bichromate of potass ; the light’s action
rendering this compound insoluble. By means of an
ingenious diagram Mi*. Heath explained that the insolubility
which is attained, and the solubility that is preserved,
are in strict accordance with the degree m which light is shut
out from or let into the coating of bichromatised gelatine—the
resistance which an ordinary negative offers to the action of the
light being translated into the same exact gradations of the pig¬
ment used with the gelatine. This was strikingly illustrated
by the development of an autotype print made from a plate
which had been covered with various thicknesses of tracing
paper ; and still further demonstrated by the development of a
landscape autotype of large size in which gradations of tone
were very perfectly rendered. After explaining certain points
in the manipulation, Mr. H eath exhibited the method employed
in the production of his large landscapes in autotype, stating
that, though the means adopted were not new, the present suc¬
cess was due alone to the extremely perfect character and
quality of tho autotype transparency from which the enlarged
negative was made. In regard to magnitude, he stated that
negatives can be produced of any reasonable dimensions, 4S in.
by 38 in. being now a usual size. Mr. Heath then said that
the processes which had been considered up to that point were
those which substituted the usual photographic processes ; but
he added that the surface of the gelatine, rendered insoluble
by tho action of light, was found to have acquired the property
of repelling water as from a greasy surface, thereby enabling a
design to be inked with printing-ink, and an impression to be
taken from the inked surface on paper in a way analogous to
lithography. This process was fully illustrated by means of
one of the presses employed for autotype mechanical printing,
and pictures were actually produced. These and many other
appliances and means for the illustration of the discourse were
furnished by Messrs. Spencer, Sawyer, and Bird, from their
works at Ealing Dean ; and the lecturer was also under great
obligations. to many persons for a great number of speci¬
mens exhibited in the library, more especially to the Autotype
Fine-Arts Company. After commenting on the autotype process
as a most important adjunct to photography, both in regard to
tlio permanence of its works and its influence on the progress
of the art, Mr. Heath concluded with the words of Mr.
Faraday when he introduced Mr. Fox Talbot’s photogenic
drawings to the Royal Institution. “No human hand has
hitherto traced such lines as these drawings display ; and what
man may do, now that Dame Nature has become his drawing-
mistress, it is impossible to predict.” George Busk, Esq.,
F.R.S., the treasurer and vice-president, was in the chair.

LIFE AND CHARACTER OF MOHAMMED.

R. Bosworth Smith, Kaq., M.A., in beginning his second
lecture, on Saturday last, passed in review the leading opinions
that had been held respecting Mohammed—for instance, the
belief that the destroyer of idolatry was himself worshipped as
an idol, Dante’s treatment of him as a heresiarch, the f&ulo o
a dove tliat inspired him, his identification with Antichrist or
the Man of Sin by Christian writers, and the misconceptions
to which the English language, in such words as Pay mm,
termagant, and miscreant, still bore witness. Ihen, treating of
the reaction in his favour, the lecturer referred to the views of
Gagnier, of Gibbon, and of Carlyle, and the works of sub¬
sequent writers. The condition of Arabia before the time of
Mohammed was then described, especially in regard to its
home-sprung religious star-worship, fire-worship, and fetishism,
and the partial introduction of Judaism and Christianity. Pass¬
ing to the social state, the passion of the Arabs for poetry and
plunder was noticed. In regard to the question how far
Mohammedanism could or could not have been predicted, Mr.
Bosworth Smith remarked upon the limits to tjie influence of
great men, and pointed out what must fairly be put down
to Mohammed and what was due to the moral and
national upheaval which carried him on. Passing rapidly
over Mohammed’s uneventful youth, he dwelt at some length
upon the phenomena attending the call to be a prophet, the
long agony, the hoping against hope, and the indisputable
evidence of sincerity which they afforded. The more pro¬
minent personal characteristics of the Prophet at the epoch of
the Hegira—including this appearance, his dress, and his
mode of life—were next described, and it was remarked that a
belief in tho prophetic office was peculiar to the Semitic races.
Then coming to the Prophet's life at Medina, it was shown
how entirely the external conditions were changed, and how
new temptations brought new dangers, which occasionally got
the better of him ; but, entering on a mihute examination of
the moral value of consistency on the one hand and of the
alleged crimes of the Prophet on the other, the lecturer com¬
bated the ordinary belief that there was a gradual but com¬
plete moral deterioration. As to the accusation of Sir William
Muir, that Mohammed “forged the name of God” in the
Koran for his own private purposes, two crucial occasions were
referred to which showed that he was at least as ready to use
the Koran in his own condemnation as in his defence. The
Prophet’s belief in the exact nature and limit of his mission
was illustrated by a series of anecdotes drawn from very
different, but very critical, occasions in his life. The subject
of next Saturday’s lecture will be Mohammedanism—an
examination of its articles of faith and its leading practical
duties ; an account of the Koran and its chief characteristics ;
and an inquiry into Mohammed’s attitude towards the
miraculous, fatalism, and religious wars, with remarks upon
the general religious questions that are involved therein.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF LIQUIDS.

Protessor Tyndall began his second lecture, on Tuesday last,
with remarks on the solubility of air and other gases in water
in different degrees, varying with the pressure ; and, after
explaining that the cohesion of the molecules of the liquid is
diminished by the dissolved air, he showed that the cohesion is
greatly augmented when the air is removed by boiling or other¬
wise. Mercury is rendered much denser by boiling ; and water
deprived of air, when shaken in a tube, produces a sound
resembling the collision of two hard bodies—an apparatus of
Donny’s, termed the “water-hammer.” After illustrating
this with other experiments, Professor Tyndall exhibited the
effect of the presence or absence of air on the act of boiling.
When air was pumped out of some water not uuite blood-warm
the water boiled for a short tiihe and then became stilL It
was then aerated by shaking, and the boiling recommenced
when the air was once more removed by the air-pump. Re¬
ference was then made to the remarkable experiments of Mr.
Justice Grove on boiling water in connection with those of
Donny, who had observed that in proportion as water is deprived
of air the character of its ebullition changes, becoming more
and more abrupt, and boiling with violent sudden jerks,
between which it reaches a temperature above the boiling
point. Justice Grove, when decomposing water by heat,
always found nitrogen present with the oxy-hydrogen gas
given off, showing that the air also had been decomposed.
This fact Professor Tyndall attributed to the vibration of the
atoms, as distinguished from that of the molecules, by radiant
heat. He then adverted to Dr. Thomas Young’s sagacious
paper on the Cohesion of Fluids, published m 1805, in
which he shows that the particles at and near the
surface of a liquid are so attracted by the particles within
it as to produce a tension of the surface, exactly as
if a thin membrane was stretched over it. This tension, which
differs in different liquids, was illustrated by Professor Tyndall
in various ways, especially by a soap-bubble; and the air ex¬
pelled by the bubble, in contracting, strongly affected the flame
of a candle. Some beautiful effects produced by mixtures of
alcohol and water showing different degrees of tension w-ere
exhibited by means of the electric light; and the phenomenon
termed the “tears of wine,” due to evaporation and tension,
w as explained and exhibited by means of a little brandy in a
claret-glass. After showing that an egg, which sinks to the
bottom in ordinary w-ater, may be made to float if enough brine
be added to make the water of the same specific gravity as the
egg, the Professor, in a series of experiments, illustrated the
celebrated researches of tho blind philosopher of Ghent, M.
Plateau, on the forms of bodies withdrawn from the action of
gravity. This condition he obtained by placing a small quantity
of olive oil in a mixture of alcohol and water of precisely the
same density. I he oil, which at first became a perfect sphere,
when made to rotate flattened at the poles. When it w*as more
rapidly rotated it flattened still more, and eventually a revolv¬
ing ring of oil was thrown off These phenomena Professor
Tyndall applied to the explanation of the resolution of a liquid
vein into drops, and the deduction of a law therefrom ; and, in
conclusion, commented on the action of musical sounds in
synchronism with the succession of the drops, so as to help the
force of configuration to detach the drops sooner, and thereby
shorten the continuous portion of the vein. The researches
of Savart and Plateau were thuB shown to be remarkably
correlated.

THE NEW PARLIAMENT.

In contemplating the personal composition of the new Pa^
ment most persons must have observed that amongst th
recruits, so to speak, there are few, if any, men distingu^ 8
in the popular sense, w ho can be recognised at a glance. It m '

Sir Samuel W. Baker on Friday next will give a discourse
l the Suppression of the Slave Trade on the White Nile.

A general meeting of the Cheshire Chamber of Agriculture
was held at Crewe, on Monday, under the presidency of Lord
de Tabley. The subject under discussion was the points of
agreement between landlords and tenants which would be most
just and beneficial to both parties upon taking and leaving
farms. The points had received the careful consideration of
the Council of the Chamber, and it was the opinion of the
Council that they would form a practicable as well as an equit-
able base on which farm tenure might be placed. The whole
of the proposed points of agreement, after they had undergone
alterations, were adopted. fi B

.Jpprocess ot development, wneuever it uegins, in mdividqai
cases ; but at present scarcely any novel member stands oat in
broad relief. Apparently, we have got rid of the philosophy,
political, and obtaiued more than ever of the bucolic and p | ul0
cratic, element. Possibly it may not be without interest t,
examine cursorily the list of legislative neophytes, and extract
from it, as far as limited means of information go, the char ac .
teriBtios, socially factitious, reflected from the constituencies
or which are actually personal in some of them. In doing tlii»
the constituencies, as the most stable and worthy entities
may be taken in alphabetical order, and the representative'
in some sort, descrilied.

Thus Andover, after having been wooed by him several
times, has at last accepted Captain Wellesley, who, as he
is the presumptive heir to the dukedom of Wellington, will
some day be a historic personage, and therefore is noticeable
in his present embryo state. Barnstaple has contribute
its share to the lawyer-dom which is considerable in the pre¬
sent House by its choice of Mr. Waddy, who, as he haa itu*
been created a Queen’s Counsel, may be assumed to he & riiuic
barrister. Another item has been added by Beaumaris to ihj
legal contingent in the person of Mr. Morgan Lloyd, Qa)., who in a
great degree may be said to be a risen professional man.
Captain Polhill-Tumer, who has been returned for Bedford, Hls
some hereditary claims on that borough, as a near relative of
his once sat for it, while he himself is notable as one of the
Carabinier witnesses in the Tichborne case. The selection of
Mr. Briggs by Blackburn adds to the cotton-spinning element
in the House; while the substitution of Mr. Ripley for Mr.
Miall at Bradford is, psychologically, a radical change. But for
turning its representation upside down, inside out, and every
way metamorphosing it, Brighton has been of all constituency
the most conspicuous. For Mr. James White, who is a rough,
ami-ready financier, and Mr. Fawcett (everyone knows what It
is, politically and parliamentarily) it has selected Mr. Ashbury,
who is, so far as mankind in general knows, an amateur sailor-
that is, a yachtsman—chiefly, if not wholly ; and Genera!
Shute, a cavalry officer, whose name has been familiar to the
public, though not in connection with his obtaining the
Victoria Cross. Buckingham has in a manner restored a Pju-
liamentary tradition by its choice of Mr. E. Hubbard, inasmuch
as his father for long represented the borough when it was two-
membered. It is not now that the constituency of Cambridge hag
shown itself fanciful in its representation, though it has just
displaced two Liberals for two Conservatives ; i hus finding a
Parliamentary haven for Mr. A. Marten, a somewhat prominent
Chancery barrister, which he lias several times sought in vain;
wh*de by replacing Mr. Smollett in the House it has contri¬
buted something to the promotion of mirth in the Legislature,
inasmuch as, in the possession of a now racy, now caustic,
humour, that gentleman shows that the blood of his ancestor,
the novelist, has not grown thin in his veins.

The dockyard constituencies have in almost every instance
turned and rent the late Government, and, as they think, j/oi/r
cause, so it is no wonder that Chatham preferred Conservative
Admiral Elliot to Liberal Mr. Otway, tried friend as the latter
was of the “ employed ” in the borough. Besides being a not
undistinguished naval officer, Admiral Elliot is, w r e believe, an
ardent promoter of a scheme for cleansing, physically, the
people, by a wide system of baths. The vanquisher of Sir
Henry Ho are in Chelsea , Mr. Gordon, is said to be a solicitor;
and no more need be said. Another legal member lias been
contributed by Coventry in Mr. H. Jackson, Q.C., who repre¬
sented the place in the Parliament of lS65, but w as removed
in 1808. The election of Mr. T. W. Evans for South Derby¬
shire is only a restoration, for he was member for that division
of the county, being a gentleman of position therein, from
1857 to 1SG5. One of the recalcitrant dockyard boroughs
above alluded to—Devonport—has preferred Mr. Puleston, a
Welsh gentleman of consideration, to Mr. J. D. Lewis, of
w hom they were not worthy. Dover has re-chosen Mr. FreBh-
field, a former member, who is one of an eminent firm of
solicitors, and who was, maugre his profession and his Conserva¬
tive politics, a legislator of wide ken, and practical withal.
Another barrister, who is in effect the leader of the Western
Circuit—to wit, Mr. H. T. Cole—has been elected for Pcnryn,
and has displaced, assisted by Mr. D. T. Jenkins, two stanch
Conservatives. A new member for Gloucestershire, Mr.
Plunkett, is a son of the Baron of that name and title. At
Grantham the influence of the family, the head of which
is Lord Brownlow, has sensibly, or insensibly, as the
case may be, procured the return of Captain Cost.
Guildford holds to its faith in the house of Onslow,
though it has preferred Conservative Mr. Denzil of that
name to lyis cousin, the former member. The family of
Crossley is Very potential in Halifax, and it is a question which
is most potential, that or the family of Akroyd, both great in
manufactures. This time the ascendency has been gained,
Parliamentarily, by the Crossleys, one of whom sits in the seat
of Mr. Akroyd, the late member. In the place of Mr. Wren
Hoskyu and Major Arbuthnot, the choice of Hereford haa
falleu on Mr. Pateshull, a more or less local magnate, and Mr.
George Clive, also of the vicinage, but w-ho is a Parliamentary
resurrection, having been many years in the House, and
having been unseated after the election of 18G8, besides which
ho was Under-Secretary for the Home Department in Lord
Palmerston’s Government. Sir Seymour Fitzgerald ha*
re-entered for Horsham, which he formerly represented,
and which enabled him to hold the office of Under-Secretary
for Foreign Affairs, and he has employed an interval of
ex-Parliamentary life by exercising the functions of Governor
of Bombay.

It cannot exactly be said that Hythe has chosen a new
member, for a fresh choice w-ould have been necessitated by the
death of Baron Meyer de Rothschild, even if Parliament had
not been dissolved. The present occupant of tho seat is Sir
Edw’ard W atkin, w’hose name is familiar as a railway potentate
and w'ho has had experience of the House in former years aa
member for Yarmouth and Stockport. Not undistinguished
W’holly are the gentlemen who come fresh from Ipswich, f° r
Mr. Cobbold’s father was once a representative of the place,
and Mr. J. R. Bulwer, Q.C., is connected by family witn tho
comity of Norfolk, and is one of the leaders of the Norfolk
Circuit. A new representative of the city of Lincoln, Colonel
Chaplin, is a brother of the Mr. Henry' of that name, who has
since 1868 sat for Mid-Lincolnshire, and w'ho is otherwise dis¬
tinguished ; and another Baronet, Sir Jacob Astley, sits in the
place of Sir Montague Ckolmeley (who died just before the
dissolution) for North Lincolnshire. Conservatism may he said
to be rampant in the representation of the city of London, and
commerce is predominant there; for Mr. Twells and Mr,

Hubbard are merchant princes, and Mr. Alderman Cotton,
with a certain appropriateness, according to ancient tradi¬
tion, is a provision merchant. Sir Sydney Waterlow has
has been of late so much in the public eye that it only needs to
sa y that he is a choice of Maidstone; and Malton has returned
a former love in sending back Mr. Nandford, who once was Mr.
Peacocke, to the House. After multiple efforts to become a
senator, Mr. Forsyth, Q.C., has floated into Parliament on a full
tide of favour in Alary lebone, and at last adds legislative function
to his professional vocation. The brewing interest was already
strong in the House, but an 44 X ” has been added to it by the
return of Mr. Octavius Coope, who has more than once tried
fruitlessly to obtain the suffrages of the Tower Hamlets. At
length wo have working-men members in the House of Com¬
mons, and, though scantily, the class to which they belong are
worthily represented. All’. T. Burt, who has been returned for
Morpeth, was a working miner, anil, by his ability and his high
character, has raised himself to a power amongst his peers. He
has been a guide and leader amongst the miners of the north for
long, and he is now secretary of the Northumberland Aimers’
Alutual Coniidence Association. In what estimation he is held
may be judged from the fact that his immediate constituency—
that is, the mining popuplation in the north—has guaranteed
him an income adequately commensurate to his present posi¬
tion. The other working-man member—Mr. Macdonald, who
sits for Staftbrd — is au equally trusted leader and officer of an
association of miners in Scotland ; and he is understood to
be a man not only of great ability, but of large though practical
views.

Norwich sends Mr. Huddleston, Q.C., into a sphere where
he is likely to have an opportunity of fulfilling any ambition,
as a political and professional man, he may nave ; Notting¬
ham — ever eccentric in its electoral faueies, to one man or to a
political creed constant never— has the distinction of sending
the lirst'Conservative Jew to Parliament, in the person oT
Air. Saul Isaac ; and Pembroke, in the great party struggle
that has been going on, has proved itself the Abdiel of dock¬
yard constituencies by returning Mr. E. J. Pveid, the late
Constructor of the Navy, who is a Liberal, but who would
have been, probably, no adherent of the late Government if it
had remained in office. Retaining its old delusion about
Air. Whaliey, Peterborough has given that gentleman a former
colleaguo again in Mr. Thomson Hankey, who is an eminent
representative of high commerce. A younker representative
has stepped into Sir Henry Stork’s place at Ripon, pretty
much, as a matter of course, as he chose to do so; for
Earl Do Grey is hereditarily connected — to use a mild term—
with the borough. Political independence, in its fullest, most
vagaried sense, is typified in the reseating of Air. Roebuck for
Sheffield, and he will at least give a tone of originality to the
debates in which he may take part. It is not wonderful that
Southampton should delight to confer the highest honour in its
power ou a gentleman who, if the inclination of the towns¬
people had prevailed, would have made him their perennial
Mayor, and possibly his having been a Sheriff of London did
not diminish the attractiveness of Sir Frederick Perkins as a
candidate. Yet another legal member is to be found in
Air. Hopwood, a bran-new Q.C., who has caught the electoral
favour of Stockport; while Sunderland, in choosing Sir Henry
Havelock, has in a manner paid a tribute to one of England’s
most revered military heroes. For aught the public knows,
Mr. Ritchie, who displaced. Mr. Ayrton in the Tower Hamlets,
may be a proper person to represent that borough; but he is, as
a member and. a politician, at present in supposition. There is
a certain litness in the succession of Sir J. Eardley-Wihnot to
part of the representation of South Warwickshire, for he is
by family and property connected with the county (his father
represented it Lra long time); and as to his other qualifications,
he is an able lawyer, and a mau unexceptionable in every
relation of life. Westminster, in electing Sir Charles Russell, sends
to Pariiauwnta, former member for Berkshire, and a distinguished
officer of the Army. Wigan sonde, with a certain naturalness,
Lord Lindsay, a representative of the earldom of Balcarres,
perhaps, rather than a representative exact of the town.
Windsor had to choose between two gentlemen who based
themselves on local claims, and so, having given Mr. Eykyn a
turn, they thought fit to give Air. Richard son-Gardiner one
also ; while, in putting out Mr. F. S. Powell, who recently won
a seat for the northern division of the West Riding of York¬
shire for the Conservatives, Mr. M. Wilson has apparently won
a baronetcy from the retiring Liberal Government.

The caprice, or whatever it is, that has characterised the
present elections, crept into Scotland, and changes in repre¬
sentation there have been made, to the great detriment of
Liberalism in Parliament. Ayrshire South, for instance, has
preferred Colonel Alexander, who is tern tori ally connected
with the county, and is an officer who has Been service, to Sir
David Wedderburn, who is of Mid-Lothian ; whereas Dundee,
so to speak, has gone into the world at large for a choice, which
has fallen on Air. E. Jenkins, who commenced the career of a
social reformer by the publication of 14 Ginx’s Baby.” Though
probably honourably Known in Glasgow, Dr. Cameron and 1
Air. Whitelaw, who have replaced Mr. Dalglish and Mr. 1
Graham in the representation of that city, are not as yet famous
in the south, though perhaps they will be ; while to the
rest of the United Kingdom unknown, a Mr. Aiacgregor
has arrested the grand Parliamentary career of Mr. Macfie
by putting him out for Leith. The Mr. Holms who has been
elected for Paisley is a brother of the member for Hackney of
that name, and is member for his native jdacc. Sir William
Stirling Alaxwcll, whose varied accomplishments are so well
known, has won back Perthshire, of which he had been de¬
prived during the last Parliament; and Renfrewshire has done
itself honour in choosing a man so eminent in the world of
letters, and several other worlds, as Colonel More.

In returning Mr. J. Sharman Crawford the county of Down
has put ou the roll of Parliament a name which was formerly
held in high estimation by all parties—that of William Sharman
Crawford, a truly philanthropical legislator, and the most
amiable ami unassuming of men. Drogheda aids something
to the medical section of the new Parliament in Dr. O’Leary ;
Galway rewards Captain Nolan, an officer of Artillery, for the
strong fight he made at the last election for that county; Lon¬
donderry county tardily returns a law officer of the late Govern¬
ment, Mr. Law, who has just relinquished the post of Solicitor-
General for Ireland, and contributes something of learning and
science in the person of Professor Smyth. The late member.
Air. M‘Mahon, not having essayed New Ross, that constituency
has chosen Air. Dunbar, who distinguished himself at the
Indian Bar ; Waterford, variable in its choice, has put into the
place of one of its late members, Major O’Gorinan, a son of a
gentleman once very prominent in Irish Parliamentary,
political, and social life as the The O’Gorman Alahon; and
Wexford County sends back quaint —almost eccentric—Sir
George Bowyer to a scene with which he was long familiar,
and has given him for a companion a, gentleman who is under¬
stood to call himself the Chevalier O’Cleary.

Those who have been mentioned are all more or less novelties
in the new Parliament. It remains to be seen how many of
them will become celebrities therein.

MUSIC.

The programme of last Saturday’s Crystal Palace Concert was
rich in interest and variety. It included the whole of the
splendid music which Alendelssohn composed for incidental use
in the German performance of the “Midsummer Night's
Dream.” The overture—one of the several remarkable works
of the composer’s boyhood—was produced at the age of seven¬
teen, for concert use ; and nothing is more extraordinary in the
history of his career than his felicitous recurrence to the
subject of the work in 1843, when he composed the other
ieces which are now identified with the Shakspearean
raraa. There is nothing finer in music than the whole
series which follows the overture, the fanciful scherzo,
the exquisite fairy vocal music, for solo voices and female
chorus ; the notturno, with its tranquil loveliness; the exult¬
ant 44 wedding march ; ” the rustic music associated with the
clowns, especially the mock solemnity of the funeral march
played during their mummery; and the beautiful concluding
chorus of fairies, based on a motivo from the overture;
another happy instance of such quotation being found in the
dance of clowns. The orchestral playing throughout was
superb, and the scherzo and funeral march had to he repeated.
The choral music was very effectively rendered by about
200 ladies of the Crystal Palace choir, and the solo pas¬
sages were well sung by Aliases E. Spiller and Doncs. Previously
to the Shakspearean music, Mendelssohn’s fine motet,
44 Surrcxit Pastor Bonus” (one of three composed in 1830
for the nuns of Trinita do Monti, at Rome), was finely per¬
formed—the solos by Madame Otto-Alvslebeu, AfissesE. Spiller
and Dones, and Madame Patey; the choruses by the ladies of the
choir, and the organ accompaniment by Dr. Stainer. In Schubert’s
melodious choral setting of tho 23rd Psalm, “The Lord is my
Shepherd ” (given for the first time here), the lady choristers
again proved their efficiency, another instance of which had
been afforded, earlier in the concert, by their singing of the
chorus of maidens, “See with flowers blooming,” from
Beethoven’s music to the drama of “Kiug Stephen,” tho over¬
ture to which commenced the programme, w hich included The
contralto solo, 44 0 Thou afflicted,” from Sir J. Benedict’s
“St. Peter,” sung by Aiadanie Patey ; and the air, “On
mighty pens,” from Haydn’s “Creation,” by Madame Otto-
Alvsleben—the concert having terminated with an overture,
entitled “ Le Cid,” by Air. Alfred Holmes, performed for the
first time. The composer’s intention is to realise the impressions
derived from Corneille’s tragedy ; and he has produced a very
effective piece of orchestral "writing, in which passion and
impulse largely prevail. There are many strong climaxes, and
the work evidently produced a favourable impression, although
coming at the end of a long selection.

This week’s Monday Popular Concert was to have brought
bade Madame Schumann; but, as mentioned last week, not
only has tho expectation of this event been frustrated, but the
iutended visit to London of the great pianist is this season
altogether abandoned, in consequence of a severe rheumatic
attack. The return of Aladawe Schumann—like that of Herr
Joachim—has long been among the most anxiously desired
events of our musical year, and the regret at its nonfulfil¬
ment by the lady pianist—especially at the cause thereof—
is great and widely felt. The pianist at Alonday’s concert was
Mr. Franklin Taylor, who played the same pieces that were
set down for Aiadanie Schumann—Beethoven's solo sonata in
E flat, from op. 27, and the pianoforte part of the same com¬
poser’s trio, in the same key, from op. 70. in these perform¬
ances Mr. Taylor fully sustained the high reputation "which he
had previously acquired. Herr Joachim, who was the leading
violinist, played Tartini’s well-known solo, “11 Trillo del
Diavolo,” and was enthusiastically encored. Schubert's fine
quartet in D minor commenced the concert, the executants in¬
cluding, as usual, Alessrs. L. Ries and Zerbini and Signor
Piatti ; and Air. II. Guy contributed some vocal pieces, accom¬
panied by Sir J. Benedict.

Air. ileuiy Leslie’s ehoir made a good commencement of its
nineteenth season, on Thursday week, with a selection from
Mendelssohn, followed by miscellaneous pieces by English
composers. The former part of the programme comprised
several part-songs, some given for the first time ; the songs,
“The Charmer, by Aliss E. Wynne, and “The Garland,” by
Mr. E. Lloyd ; and the line hymn 44 Hear my Prayer,” by Miss
Wynne aud chorus ; besides three of the “ Lieder ohne wort © 99
for the pianoforte, well played by Miss Josephine Laurence.
This clever young pianist was again heard, in the second part
of the concert, in Sir J. Benedict’s effective fantasia on 44 Where
the bee sucks.” In this portion of the programme, among
various attractive pieces. Air. Henry Leslie’s new part-song,
“Lullaby of Life,” was one of the most prominent, and had to
he repeated. Mr. Leslie conducted, as usual; and Air. J. G.
Callcott and Mr. J. C. Ward filled their accustomed posts respec¬
tively as accompanist and organist.

The annual concert of the veteran vocalist, Air. Ransford,
took place, at St. .James’s Hall, last Tuesday evening, when
the programme included a copious selection of English songs
and ballads, sung by some of our most eminent artists.

Tho third concert of the British Orchestral Society took
place on Thursday, when the programme included Spohr’s
symphony, 44 Die weihe der Tcine,” the overtures to “Der
Freyschutz ” and “ Fidelio,” and a new overture, entitled
44 Inez de Castro,” by Air. Alfred Holmes ; Beethoven’s fourth
pianoforte concerto (in G), played by Mr. Franklin Taylor, and
vocal pieces sung by Miss Rose Hersee.

The “ Creation ” was given at the Royal? Albert Hall on
Wednesday evening, conducted by Air. William Carter ; and
the same oratorio was announced by the Sacred Harmonic
Society for Friday evening, in replacement of Air. G. A.
Maefarren’s “St. John the Baptist,’’ the performance of which
is postponed to Alarch 20.

AI. Gounod’s music to “Jeanne d’Arc” (recently noticed
by us) was repeated at his second concert, on Saturday last,
when it included thg highly characteristic “Funeral March of
a Marionette,” which lia^l been given (detached) at one of
M. Gounod’s concerts of last season. This clever piece of
musical humour was, as before, encored and repeated. The
other portions of the 44 Jeanne d’Arc” music were again
received with great applause. The concert also included the
performance of Al. Gounod’s short mass for the dead (S. S.
Angeli Custodes ”), with the addition of an effective orchestral
march.

Yesterday (Friday) week Mr. Willem Cocnen gave the first
of his new series of chamber concerts at the Hanover-square
Rooms, and his clever pianoforte-playing was heard in Rhein-
herger’s quartet in E flat; another skilful pianist, Herr Adolph
Schloesser, having been associated with him in Rubinstein’s
duet for two pianofortes, op. 73. Brahms’s string quartet—
played by Messrs. Wiener, Amor, Zerbini, and Daubert—and
vocal solos by Alisses S. Ferrari and Sterling, completed a pro¬
gramme of much interest.

Alendclssohn’s “St. Paul ” is to be performed for the first
time by the Royal Albert Hall Choral Society on Thursday
next, March 5, the principal vocalists announced being Madame
Otto-Alvsleben, Aliss Antoinette Sterling, Air. Sims Reeves,

and Mr. Lewis Thomas, with Dr. Stainer at the organ. Tho
performance will be conducted, as usual, by Mr. Barnby.

A. benefit performance has been announced by Signor
Monari-Rocca, to take place, at the St. James’s Theatre, on
Alomlay, Alarch 2, when Mozart’s comic opera, “Cosi fan
tutte,” is to be given. This charming work was revived, in
January, 1873, hy the opera-buffa company (at St. George’s
Hall), of which Signor Alonari-Rocca was a member.

THEATRES.

princess’s.

The principal theatrical event of the week is the production of
a five-act historical drama by Air. W. G. Wills, entitled
44 Mary Qneen of Scots.” The subject has been often
dramatised, and recently we had a dramatic poem by Air.
Swinburne on the subject of Chastelard’s devotion to his
mistress and his unfortunate death, which had high merits.
This unhappy amour is also the theme of Air. Willses tragedy,
but he has treated it in a different manner. There is much
poetic dialogue in Air. Wills’s drama, which would undoubtedly
have gone well with the audience had the performers permitted
it to be heard, or the unquiet state of the house (it being a
benefit night) not rendered it impossible ; as the case stood,
we were compelled to take nearly the whole of the first act for
granted. It treated of the happy days of Marie Stuart, when
at Fontainebleau she was free to enjoy all the pleasures of the
palace and the garden—pleasures among which Chastelard’s
passion was likely to be of rapid growth. The poor fellow,
however, is sentenced and banished ; and shortly afterwards
Marie takes an affectionate farewell to France, when she is
followed by her faithful retainer into Scotland. In the second
act we have Marie's disputes with her Protestant subjects, and
honest .John Knox comes into prominence; hut the Queen
(Mrs. Rousby) proves caual to tlie occasion, and the recalci¬
trant pastor is compelled to surrender. The part is assumed
hy Air. Rousby, and is supported hy him with all or
more than his usual force, but does not yet set easily upon
him. As the play proceeds the character becomes more im¬
portant. The author lias not chosen for it a rigid outline—
which might have better suited it for stage-playing—but^ has
ascribed to it a passionate disposition which carries Knox
through several mental moods, and at length causes him to be
tempted by Marie’s beauty and suavity. At the end of the
fourth act wo find him struggling with his feelingB, which he
delineates in rather too long a soliloquy, but which to the
dramatic poet is nevertheless Jiighly creditable. The fifth act
shows the fatal culmination of Chastelard’a love, and the
execution of the infatuated youth. The piece is placed on the
boards in the most costly style; and the scenery, which is mag¬
nificent, does honour to Air. F. Fenton and Mr. Emden. We
have omitted to state that the part of Chastelard was com¬
mitted to Mr. Charles Harcourt, and furnished him with oppor¬
tunities of which he was ambitious to take advantage, but not
always with success. Air. Harcourt yet stands in need of much
discipline and more practice, before he can claim to be a com¬
plete actor. The residue of the parts was respectably cast, so
that the entire action was smoothly |jcrformed ; and, on the
whole, the play is a spectacle that merits popularity.

STRAND.

Air. Farnic, having succeeded in “Nemesis”—an extrava¬
ganza into which he adroitly enough converted a French
farce—has now taken in hand “ La Cagnofctc,” and again suc¬
ceeded in making capital of a foreign product, which, under
the name of 44 El Dorado,” emerges in the shape of a very funny
piece. In this thoroughly extravagant drama we are first intro¬
duced to a party of villagers, headed by the mayor, who are in
the habit of depositing their winnings in a money-box (la
cagnotle), and once a year devoting the sum to the expenses of
a feast or a holiday. They resolve on a visit to Paris, induced
thereto by the circular of a matrimonial agent. The ad¬
ventures of the party at Les Trois Fr6res, in the Palais Koyale,
and at the agent’s office, form, with a visit to a police station,
a sufficient basis for some very droll incidents. The perform¬
ance is distinguished by some vigorous acting, but there ought
to be some limit to the extravagance of the costumes.

HOLBORN.

The company of French players has during the week repre¬
sented with considerable effect the farce of 44 lie Voyage de
Monsieur Perrichon,” which at the St. James’s was produced
for Al. Ravel. It is a pleasing and laughable production, and
one of the few French plays in itself suited to a London
audience. Air. Didier is excellent as the conceited Rentier,
who assumes the part of a hero; the other parts, also, are
adequately filled.

POLYTECHNIC.

The attractions of this hall continue, and 44 Raleigh’s Queer
Dream,” written by Dr. Croft, still succeeds in interesting the
spectators. The lecture on Light and Colour and the Silber
LigU. is excellent, and is done full justice to by Professor
Gardner. The views of Railway Travelling are eminently
instructive and satisfactory, and of themselves will repay more
than one visit.

The Alayor of Leeds (Alderman Marsden) has signified his
intention of entertaining 1000 old men and women to a “knife
and fork tea, ” to he followed by a promenade concert, on the
return of the Duke of Edinburgh from his wedding tour.

A lecture on the subject of food adulterations and their
detection by means of the microscope was recently delivered
by Mr. J. Bell before the Chemical Society. Many gentlemen
holdiug analytical appointments under the Adulteration Act
were present.

Trials are being made as to the nature of the channel-bed
betweeu Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, at the narrowest
part of the Solent, if, as is supposed, the stiff clay which is
Found on both coasts extends the entire distance, a tunnel will
probably he made from the mainland to Cowes, or a point
somewhat removed to the westward from that favourite resort.

The offer made to the Norfolk Agricultural Association, last
year, hy the Earl of Leicester, of £200 for tho best essay on
the improvements in agriculture which have been made in the
eastern district of England during the last twenty years, has
been accepted. The essays are to be sent in to the secretary
by Alarch 1, 1875, subject to the conditions of tho society.

The Board of Trade inquiry into the loss of the Palladium
concluded yesterday week, when a decision was given to this
effect :—The Palladium on leaving Sunderland was not only
too heavily laden, but was unseaworthy, arising from the un¬
sound condition of the hull. The Court exonerated the owner,
who had no knowledge of the vessel’s unseaworthiness either
as regards the condition of the hull or overloading. Knowing
comparatively nothing of vessels himself, he had instructed his
captain from time to time to see that the ship was kept in
proper repair. This he failed to do, hence the inquiry. The
captain was convicted of drunkenness, and his certificate
suspended for twelve months.

THE LATE REV. THOMAS BINNEY.

THE LATE EEV. DR. BINNEY.

This eminent Dissenting minister, after an illness of several
weeks, died on Tuesday, in the seventy-sixth year of his age.
He had been a preacher and pastor of the Independent or Con-
gregation&liBt religious denomination about fifty years. During
the greater part of this time he officiated at the Weigh House
Chapel, or^ meeting-house, in Monument-yard. He was a
native of Newcastle-on-Tyne, and was first apprenticed to a
bookseller, but was afterwards educated for the ministry at a
theological college at Wymondley, in Hertfordshire. His first
ministerial employment was at Newport, in the Isle of Wight,
which he left in 1829. The chapel in London was built for him
in 1834, upon the site of a hall in which he had preached
during five years before. It was a hall over the ancient
“Weigh House ” or “Staple,” which was the place used in
former times for the official weighing of foreign merchandise
brought to London. Dr. Binney was one of the most earnest
and impressive English pulpit speakers of his day, resembling in
some degree the late Dr. Guthne of Edinburgh. His liberality
of feeling and frankness of demeanour gained him the esteem
of members of the Established Church, and of the Protestant
Dissenting communities. Indeed, he latterly declared that he
had “no great objection either to moderate episcopacy or to
liturgical forms ; ” and a variation of the latter was introduced
into his own Sunday sendees. He visited the United States
and Canada in 1845, and in 1847 went to Australia, where he
remained two years. On his return to England he again took
charge of the Weigh House “church and congregation.” But,
when the demolition of the building was proposed for the East
Loudon Railway, Dr. Binney retired, in January, 1871, from
the post he had so long occupied. Two years ago he was
appointed one of the professors of the Independent Theological
Coilege on the north side of Regent’s Park ; he also presided
over the council of that college. The degree of LL.D. was con¬
ferred upon him by the University of Aberdeen, and that of
D. D. by an American University.

The portrait is from a photograph by the London Stereoscopic
Company.

ASCENSION ISLAND.

This small island, which lies about eight degrees south of the
Equator, in the South Atlantic, nearly 1500 miles from the
African coast, and as far from that of Brazil, may be used for
the reception and cure of invalids from Sir Garnet Wolseley’s
force in the Ashantee campaign. It is a British military sta¬
tion, founded in 1815, when Napoleon was confined at St.
Helena, which island is about 700 miles to the south-east of
Ascension. The island is but seven miles long and six wide ; it is
of volcanic formation, with conical hills of tufaceous gritty
limestone, the highest rising to 2800 feet, and with much
pumice-stone and lava. The scenery is bare and rugged, except
on the Green Mountain, at the eastern end, where tne land, at
a certain height above the sea, is fertile and well cultivated.
The climate is temperate and healthy. There is a deficiency
of fresh water, but the small garrison and the hospitals exist in
tolerable comfort. Two views of the hospitals at Ascension are
shown in our Illustrations.

THE RUINS OF THE PANTECHNICON.

The destruction of this large building, and of a vast amount of
costly property, household furniture, pictures, and plate, de¬
posited there for safe keeping, is still a topic of regretful in¬
terest a fortnight after the lire. The proprietors, Messrs.
Smith and Radennacher, who were insured for £20,000 only,
have during the last week kept fifty men of the Salvage Corps
at work clearing the ruins. It is estimated that this will occupy
at least two months, the ruins upou an average being 10 ft.
deep over the whole space of two acres. A plan of the build¬
ing, as it was, has been furnished to the Salvage Corps, mark¬
ing out each of the various warehouses ; aud, for puqjoses of
clearer identification, the ruins of each will be carted away
separately. Every part of the ruins will be sifted thoroughly,
so that nothing valuable will, in all probability, be overlooked.
Up to this time, the ruins at the chief entrance in Motcomb-
street have been removed, and such valuables as were dis¬
covered have been deposited in a place of safety, with a view

to subsequent identification by the owners. In a day or two
when the carriage inclines are sufficiently cleared, it will be
possible to load vans in the very midst of the ruins. There
is reason to believe, from the search now commenced,
that the rough estimate made at first of the probable extent
and value of the salvage will prove to be considerably in excess
of the actual result; and it js doubtful whether the goods
recovered will compensate for the cost of recovery. The pro¬
prietors, since the fire, have received many offers from specu¬
lative persons for the possession of the ruins as they stand, but
every such proposal has been declined. When the Motcomb-
street frontage has been sufficiently cleared, the names of 115
depositors who were known to have goods in that part will he
advertised, so that they may attend and recognise such few
articles belonging to them as have been recovered. The list
will include the owners of property in the F warehouse and of
those in parts of the A, B, and S warehouses. Among the
losers is Major-General Sir Garnet Wolseley. When he left
England for the Gold Coast, last autumn, lie removed to the
Pantechnicon, from his house at Richmond, much valuable
property, including many interesting souvenirs of his cam¬
paigns in the Crimea. India, China, and North America. It is
believed that none of this has been saved from the fire.

MANCHESTER EXHIBITION OF INDUSTRY.

The Exhibition of Scientific Industry, which was lately opened
by the Earl of Derby, consisting of an instructive collection of
models and specimens of various manufactures, is contained in
a range of timber sheds, erected for this occasion, in Peel Park,
Salford. We give an Illustration of the outward aspect of this
temporary structure. Most of our readers are probably aware
that the borough of Salford is situated, with relation to the
city of Manchester, precisely in the same way as Southwark to
London, being on the opposite side of the river Irwell, while
several bridges connect the streets of these towns with each
other. Salford extends higher up the river, to the suburb of
Pendleton, where its stream is less defiled by the refuse of a

factory town ; and the bants of the Irwell at Peel Park are not
unpleasant. A large house near the entrance in Peel Park has
been occupied, during the last twenty-three years, by the
Salford Museum and Free Library’, maintained by the municipal
corporation of this borough. It is resorted to, on the average,
by 1600 persons daily. Manchester also possesses a free library
and three or four public parks.

ELY CHAPEL, HOLBORNL

This old place of worship, now doomed to removal, is what
represented in our day the ancient mansion of the Bishops of
Ply. We remember that sly message of Shakspeare s wicked
Richard, Duke of Gloucester :—

My Lord of Ely, when I was last in Holborn,

I saw good strawberries in your garden there;

I do beseech you, send for some of them*

Another story, which more properly concerns Ely Chapel, is
related by Cowper. It is said that in 1745, on a Sunday
morning, when the news came to London of the defeat of the
Young * Pretender, by William. Duke of Cumberland, at
Culloclen, this ludicrous perversion of the ordinary Church
service did actually take place :—

So, in the chapel of old Ely House, .

When wandering Charles, who meant to be the Third
Had fled from William, aud the news was fresh,

The simple clerk, but loyal, did announce,

And eke did rear right merrily, a psalm
Sung “ to the praise and glory of King George .

There are many graver and more dignified historic memories
connected with Ely Chapel, which has in its time been an
influential place of religious advocacy and exhortation for the
inhabitants of London.

GEOGRAPHY AND TRAVEL.

The publishing s ason of this winter has been rich in new
books of travel, so.no of which, relating to the less knovrn parts
of Asia and America, were noticed by us upon a former occa¬
sion. Arctic exploration is a subject that is sure to come up
now and then for discussion, and for the advocacy of fresh
researches, upon account of its scientific interest, though its
practical importance to commercial navigation was long ago
disproved. Mr. Clements Markham, secretary to the Royal
Geographical Society, has reprinted from Ocean Highways a few
instructive chapters on the history of North Polar discovery in
the last three centuries. He calls it The Threshold of the
Unknown Region (the publishers are Messrs. Sampson Low,
Marston, and Searle). A certain portion of his volume is de¬
voted to the accounts of exploring voyages north of Europe—
that is, in the Spitzbergen seas, where Mr. Leigh Smith, in the
steamer Diana, made a third voyage last year at his own pri¬
vate expense. The anxiety that was felt about tho Swedish
expedition, when it was compelled to remain at Spitzbergen
through the winter of 1S72, has also directed public attention
that way. But the late Rev. Dr. Scoresby, of Exeter, when
lie was captain of a whaling-ship, did good service in opening
the Spitzbergen seas nearly seventy years ago. It is to be re¬
membered, indeed, that William Barents and Henry Hudson
had explored many of the northern coasts and islands of this
hemisphere two hundred years before. The map of tho Euro¬
pean Polar Sea, drawn by Mr. ltavenstein, which Mr. Clements
Markham has inserted in thia volume, is rightly made to
include Greenland, as the east coast of that large island is
situated in longitudes adjacent to those of Iceland, which
we are accustomed to regard as an insular dependency of
Europe. In the Arctic Sea, north of Iceland and
Spitzbergen, between 20 deg. W. longitude aud 20 deg. E., we
find one wide gate to the Polar region. There are two narrow
gates, which are these—the one by Davis Strait and Baffin's
Bay, with Smith Sound, west of Greenland ; and the other by
way of Behring Strait. The merit of what has been done by
the first-mentioned route, in the North American portion of
the Arctic Circle, was mainly—almost entirely—duo to English
sailors, from the time of John Davis and William Baffin, who
were contemporaries of Shakspeare and Bacon, to that of Ross
and Parry, Franklin, Belcher. M'Clure, and M‘Clintock, in our
own age. But during the last twenty years our kinsmen of
the United States have also done a great deal. Dr. Kune from
1853 to 1855, Dr. llayes in 18(30, and Captain Hall in 1871,
have fully earned their share of this renown. The exploration
of the north coasts of Asia, from Behring Strait to Novaya
Zemlya, has been performed by the Russians, Admiral von
Wrangol, and others, in a manner not less to their credit.
Even Austria, with praiseworthy zeal for the advancement of
knowledge, has recently sent an expedition—that of the
Tegettlioff—to the same part of the globe. Mr. Clements
Markham is desirous that we should not henceforth lag behind
other nations in the race to serve the world this way. He
urges the British Government to start another expedition up
Smith Sound and Kennedy Channel, with sledge parties on the
coasts both east aud west of that narrow mlet, which are
named Grinnell Land and Washington Land, between the longi¬
tudes 66 deg. W, and 70 deg. W. We think a few thousand
pounds of tho public monev would be very well spent in such
an undertaking. It would help to solve important practical
questions concerning the ocean currents, magnetism and atmo¬
spheric electricity, and the causes affecting our own climate,
besides adding much that is interesting to geology and various
branches of natural history. Mr. Lowe, the late Chancellor of
the Exchequer, aud Mr. Goschen, the late First Lord of the
Admiralty, refused last year to do anything of this kind.

It will now be seen if their successors will entertain the
proposal.

The next hook upon this subject we have to notice is that
of Captain J. G Wells, R.N., entitled The Gateway to the
Polynia (II. S. King aud Co.). Our readers should be told
that “ Polynia ” is a Russian word, derived from palyi, open,
meaning a pool or lane of water opened in the ice. In Dr.
Kanes expedition to Smith Sound in 1853 an expanse of open
water was seen, between 80 deg. and 81 deg. N. latitude, with
great flocks of sea-fowl and seals, which led some persons to
believe that the climate of a more northerly |region would be
found comparatively mild, perhaps fit for human habitation.
The author of this volume is disposed to think, for several
reasons, that the North Role is likely to be, for the most part
surrounded by water, forming tho “ Polynia,” to which his
title refers. He contends that tho wide sea north of Spitz¬
bergen, not the narrow channel entered from Smith Sound west
of Greenland, is the true gateway to the uukuown Polar
region. With this object in view,* he has collected a certain
amount of geographical and historical facts, which are inter¬
woven with his narrative of a summer voyage to Spitzbergen
in a friends private yacht. A book of still greater interest
and value is that of Captain Albert Hastings Markham. R.N.,

A Whaling Cruise to Baffin's Bay and the Gulf of Boothia
(Sampson Low and Co.). It will be remembered that Captain
Markham arrived at Dundee, in a whaler called the Arctic,
while the British Association of Science was holding its

congress last year ; and he brought the account of what had
become of part of the crew of the Polaris, the American ex¬
ploring steamer which had entered Smith Sound in August,
1871, under Captain C. F. Hall. It appears that Captain Hall
died in November, 1871. Nineteen men, women, and children,
in October, 1872, having got upon an ice field which drifted
away from the side of their ship, were suddenly carried off, and
floated down Baffin’s Bay, but were afterwards saved by a seal¬
ing vessel on the coast of Labrador. The remaining fourteen
persona on board the Polaris, in June, 1873, abandoned that vessel
and took to their boats. They were picked up, after two or three
weeks, by a vessel named tho Ravenscraig, which transferred
them, on July 7, to the Dundee whaling-steamer Arctic, com¬
manded by Captain William Adams. It happened that Captain
Markham, a naval officer already of some distinction, was on
board the Arctic as a passenger—in fact, as an amateur, wish¬
ing to acquaint himself with the peculiar navigation of the icy
seas, and with the pursuits of the whaler. He was obliged to
be rated nominally as one of the crew, but he was allow f ed
plenty of leisure to look about him and make his observations.
The result of these opportunities is a very entertaining narra¬
tive of maritime adventure. It will serve also to illustrate, as
Captain Sherard Osborn remarks in an introductory chapter,
the facility and certainty with which a powerful steamer,
properly constructed and equipped, can force its way
through the obstacles and dangers of closely-packed ice,
quickly passing beyond the farthest points that w’ere reached
with extreme difficulty some thirty or forty years ago.
Captain Markham’s cruise of three summer months was very
enjoyable for so good a sailor, sportsman, and observer both of
nature and of mankind ; and his professional and geographical
knowledge help to make this an instructive book/ He did not,
indeed, get into very high latitudes, but passed westward from
Baffin’s Bay into Lancaster Sound and Prince Regent’s Inlet,
to the entrance of the Gulf of Boothia. lie there visited Port
Leopold, and saw the relics of some of our notable explorers
who were on that coast twenty-five years ago. It would not
surprise us to see Captain Markham emulate or surpass their
achievements in u future expedition to the North Bole.

An American writer, Mr. Samuel Hazard, whose book on
San Domingo was noticed by us not long ago, has produced
another volume of a similar description, Cuba, with Pen and
Pencil (Sampson Low and Co.). “ The Pearl of the Antilles,”

as this island is proverbially called, has lately been made the
subject of clever and graphic reports by Mr. Antonio Gallenga
and others ; but Mr. Hazard’s volume, wfith its abundance of
picturesque details aud personal anecdotes, is likely to lind
acceptance here, as w r ell as in the United States. Its style,
indeed, is rather disfigured by the affectation of familiar gaiety,
which is the besetting literary vice of “ special ” newspaper
correspondents in our day. But we lind it, nevertheless, read¬
able enough for the most part. It is helped by the profuse
introduction of small woodcuts, scattered over the 544 pages of
compact print. More than half the volume is occupied by a
minute account of the pleasant city of Havana, w’hicn is very
thoroughly “done.” Matanzas, Cardonas, Santiago, and other
provincial towns, are described in their turn. The culti¬
vation and manufacture of tobacco and sugar, those rich staple
commodities of the island, and the coffee plantations, with their
system of management, have due place in Mr. Hazard’s note¬
book. Something, of course, is also here said of the .Spanish
Government, the disaffection of the Creoles, and the rebellion
which still continues to rage in Cuba. But the author
does not seem to have visited the island for the purpose
of getting up a case for its annexation to the great
Federal Republic, though he might have been disposed so
to deal with St Domingo. In answer to the question, “ What
sort of a nlace would Cuba be if she did bolting t * the United
States? ” he has only to reply that “Cuba, with h.fivo Govern¬
ment, plenty of ice, and a large immigration, would become a
wonderful garden.”

The serial publication of a magnificent illustrated work of
American topography, edited by Air. W. Cullen Bryant, is now
approaching its conclusion. The sole agent for its sale in this
country is Mr. D. Cogsw’ell, Little Britain, for Messrs. D.
Appleton and Co., or New York. We have inspected
some half-monthly parts of Picturesque America , and we
greatly admire the designs and execution of its engravings,
both those on steel and those on wood. They represent some
of the grandest scenery of the Western Continent—its moun¬
tains, forests, lakes, rivers, and cataracts, as well as the towms
aud cities, both of Canada and the United States. The editor’s
name is a guarantee of merit in the literary department.

An important discovery lias been made in the county of
Kilkenny. An English company purchased property from
Mr. Bryan, M.P., and at once began sinking a shaft. A
splendid bed of the best Jarro coal, upwards of five feet in thick¬
ness, has been reached, and, it is said, promises an almost
exhaustless supply.

COLONEL BEREZY.

Colonel William Bent Berezy, whose history was identified with
Upper and Lower Canada, died on Dee. 9 last, at the Seipienrie,
Daillebout, Province of Quebec. He was born in London,

Berezy, Esq., of Saxony, Germany (William Albert Ulric,Baron
von Moll, in his own country), who went to Canada in 1792,
taking with him eighty-four German families, and established
a settlement in the township of Markham, near Toronto. The
gentleman whose decease we record served as Captain of Canadian
Chasseurs (5th Battalion of Incorporated Militia of Upper
Canada) during the War of IS 1*2 and subsequent years. He
was at the battle of Chrysler's Farm in 1813, receiving for his
services there the medal granted by the Queen, in 1843, “To
the British Army, 1793 to 1814. ” In 1855 he was promoted to

Mr. Siiiri.ky Brooks, the Editor of Punch , died on Mon¬
day morning, in the fifty-ninth year of his age, deeply regretted
by a large circle of attached friends. Apart from his contribu¬
tions to Punch , Mr. Brooks did a vast amount of literary work
as poet, novelist, playwright, essayist, and special corre¬
spondent, and for many years wrote on political and social sub¬
jects in this paper, his genial articles ceasing only with the
illness which ended, in his death. We intend to give a Portrait

wns examined theoretically ami in practice more perhaps than any other
on the chess-board. Tlio most ingenious attacks and dofences were
adduced by the leading players of Europe and America, aud ultimately
the defence was utterly overthrown by Auderssen aud his school."

Now, considering that Mr. Zukertort knows well that the lino of de¬
fence said to have been overthrown by the Anderssen school is still a
favourite with several English players of note, 1 am surprised he did not
incidentally mention that fact. As he has not noticed it, 1 shall be obliged
if you will allow me space to say that the defence in Question lias been
adopted with success quite recently by leading English players ; and
some, including myself, are of opinion that if properly followed up it
affords an advantage to the second player. I hope, therefore, young prac¬
titioners will not be deterred from adopting this instructive and interest¬
ing form of the opening—at least, until Mr. Zukertort has presented satis¬
factory analyses in sunport of his views regarding it.—Yours truly,

H. E. Bird.

P.S. Though commonly attributed to Mr. Paulsen, it is right to state
that this defence was adopted in a consultation game between 'Messrs.
Btaunton and Barnes against the Rev. John Owen and myself long before
Mr. Paulsen called attention to it.

The committee of the National Training School for Cookery
lias appointed Lady Barker to be lady superintendent of tho
school, which is expected to commence the preliminary work
of training “ instructors in cookery ” at the beginning of March.
A meeting is to be held in the City, under the presidency of
Alderman Cotton, M.P., for the purpose of laying the scheme
fully before the public and procuring pecuniary support.

There has recently been started at Notting-hill, under the
presidency of Dr. J. Gladstone, F.R.S., and countenanced by
several ladies and gentlemen iu the neighbourhood, a society
entitled “ The Notting-hill Workman’s Flower Show and Home
Encouragement Society.” In connection with the society prizes
are to be periodically competed for by cottagers and lodgers
cultivating flowers and vegetables on their own premises, as
well as for the most neatly-arranged rooms and houses, and for
all classes of needle and other household handiwork. The first
show was held last Saturday, at St. Mark’s school-rooms,
Leicester-road; aud the prizes, consisting of money, sets of tea-
things, work-boxes, dress materials, &c., were awarded, in the
presence of a numerous company, by Sir George Lawrence.

At the Working Men’s Club attached to the Bedford Insti¬
tute, Spitalfields, Lord Lyttelton, on Monday, presented two
prizes, consisting of bronze statuettes of M ichael Angelo and
Dante respectively, to the club, they having been won by their
players in a match at chess, in which seven clubs competed.
There was a large attendance of members, accompanied by
their female friends. A meeting was held in one of the rooms
of the institute, where Lord Lyttelton, as chairman, was sup¬
ported by the Rev. H. Solly, Mr. Hodgson Pratt, Mr. W.
Allum, secretary, and other gentlemen. In opening the pro¬
ceedings, his Lordship said that possibly he had only one
qualification for the performance of his present duty— viz., that
he was one of the few* who made chess their chief amusement.
He dwelt at length on the characteristics of the game, which
he said was essentially intellectual, and, being so sedentary,
was well adapted as a recreation to those who had active out-
of-door occupations. A miscellaneous concert was afterwards
given by the members of the club.

The anniversary meeting of the Geological Society was hold
yesterday week, at Somerset House, when the chair was occu¬
pied by his Grace the Duke of Argyll, the president of the
society. The secretary of the society read the annual report of
the council, from which it appeared that the society was in a
highly flourishing state, the number of Fellows continuing
steadily to increase, the financial position of the society being
very satisfactory. The report announced that the removal of
the society to its new rooms at Burlington House would take
place in the course of the next two months. The president
then read his address, in which, after referring to some of the
more prominent members of the society who had died during
the past year, and alluding to the pressure of political duties,
which had prevented his attending so frequently as he could
have wished at the meetings of the society during the

two years of liis presidency, he proceeded to call the
attention of the meeting to certain geological ques¬
tions which he thought still waited for an answer.

He referred to the general problems relating to the

structure of the earth and the configuration of its surface, some
of the most important of which are still matters of dispute, and
dwelt at considerable length upon the vexedquestion of the origin
of species and of life, which he regarded as still very far from
solution. His Grace showed very little favour towards the
theory of evolution. The address, which was of considerable
length, was one of tho best and most thoughtful that has been
heard of late years in the meeting-room of the Geological
Society, it elicited signs of enthusiastic approval from the
Fellows present. The election of the council and officers for
the ensuing year took place during the meeting. The new pre¬
sident of the society is Mr. John Evans, F.R.S., who has
worthily filled the position of secretary for seven years, and is
well known for his investigation of questions connected with
I the antiquity of man.

The monster trial in the Court of Queen’s Bench is at an
end. By the verdict of the jury, after an inquiry
ranging [over a hundred, and eighty-eight days the
Claimant lias been declared to be guilty of perjury on
all the counts of the indictment preferred against him
He,snot Sir Roger Tichbome, but Arthur Orton and
his attempt to destroy the reputation of Lady Radcliffe
Sir Rogers cousin, is characterised as an unfounded and
malicious calumny. The Claimant is now in
^.nnder a^ (>f peual servitnd ,. for f om .fJ n

JS ut r/ IUt,J t , he obscurity from uhich he
ongiit lie^ ei to have emerged.

into consideration, need hardly ex-cite our * S pSd

could not do so, more especially

out producing a claimant. Such a prise held da’nglbg

i ho highest idea of the personnel of aci ministration

in

our law courts. Some passages at arms occurred
which most of us will regret. Somo fi’eedoni of advocacy
v as resorted to which the sober-minded may cliaracteri#
as license. But, all things considered—the curious nature
oi the case itself, the immense number of witnesses ex*
amined, the prolixity of the trial, aud the satisfactory
issue to which it was conducted—this legal investigation
has brought out in the strongest light^ the intellectual

jury that he was none other than a vulgar impostor.

Did the case absolutely require the terrible sacrifice \
of time and patience which 1ms been given to it in order 1
to its settlement i We would speak diffidently of tbe
system of practice Adopted in our law courts •, but we
must confess to our misgivings as to the reasonable per¬
fection of that system. If it be true,as the preponderance
of evidence appeared to establish, that young Roger
Tidiborne was tattooed before he left this country, one is
at a Joss to perceive why the inquiry with regard to the
Claimant was not restricted to that single point. It is
sufficiently decisive of personal identity. It miglu
have been determined without any reference to col¬
lateral proof. It would probably have satisfied tjic «le-
mauds of every intelligent Englishman. Possibly, if th*
social and pecuniary stake had not been so large itwonM
have been urged and submitted to as an indisputable
criterion. It certainly would hardly have required two
trials of unprecedented duration to have satisfactorily
disposed of the identity of Sir Roger Tichborne. King
Solomon, we fancy, would have made comparatively
short work of the investigation. But then the process
would not have secured a distribution amongst lawyer*
and witnesses of half the Tichborne estate.' It would
not have required roving commissions to South Amerb
and the Antipodes in search of evidence. It would a t
have demanded the unravelling of the fabric of tw
lives. It would not have exposed the case to th.^
chances of an abortive conclusion wlrich uugb‘
have arisen from the death of any one of th-
jurors. No doubt, we have had a most exhaustive
and a deeply interesting picture gallery of incident?,
scenes, and circumstances connected with the history d
two men each of whom happens to have passed through
a somewhat remarkable career. But the country will
have to pay a large sum for its amusement, mid it i>
questionable whether the instruction it will derive fr^ 11
the proceedings of the courts of law will be rightly re¬
garded as a fair equivalent for the expenditure incurred.

In some of its aspects the Tichborne trial will hive
excited^proud emotions in the minds of most Eugbh*
men. ihe skill, the learning, the common-sense, the
eloquence, the patience, the impartiality, exhibited ^
illustrated during its protracted continuance, give one

OPENING OF THE NEW PARLIAMENT.

The combination of circumstances involved in a new Govern¬
ment and a new House of Commons naturally created a sort of
bewilderment when the nascent Legislature met on Thursday.
r l he old liberal members w-ho c$me m early appeared not to be
ready to give up tlieir former seats ou the right of tho
Chamber, and some of them strayed towards their quondam
seats until reminded by the laughter and the “ chaff” of the
experienced Tory members who have returned once more to
die Douse; raid that party exhibited a curious felicity in ap¬
propriating their new places. {First amongst them to settle him¬
self m a seat corresponding with that he used to occupy on the
other side was Mr. Charley, and generally the former members
oi ins party settled themselves in what may be called the seati
of power with a cortain modest assurance. As to the new
members, of w-hatever political creed, they might be dis¬
tinguished by their adhering to their overcoats and umbrolLas,
and by their helplessly w-andering about, uncertain where to
sweep down. Many of them w-ero taken in hand by th •
initiated without regard to party feeling, and there were inter¬
changes of greetings and introductions, and a general geniality .
ihcre soon began a babble of conversation and a ripple ot
laughter, both of which increased as the numbers •multiplied.
I resent ly, it is to be noted, came iu Mr. Roebuck, and assumed
the place he used to occupy when lie wa 3 before in the House,
no matter who was in power—namely, that immediately below
the gangway on the Opposition side. Notable was another
Parliamentary resurrection, that of Sir George Bawyer, who
has grown quite venerable. Nonconformity was early rcore-
sented by Mr. Henry Richard; the Fiji Islands by Mr.
M‘Arthur ; and the batch of new Baronets by Sir Chari ji
Forster.

Other typical members were tolerably plenty : Conservatism
in the city of London show-cd in Alderman Cotton aud Mr.
Hubbard ; Mr. Ashbury and General Shutc were prominent:
onJybecause they sat in the places of Mr. Fawcett and Mr.
J. VY bite. As to the Home Rulers, they were not dis¬
tinguishable (the Irish element of memberdom bain* very
scant), and they were represented, inappropriately as may
be thought, by Lord Robert Montagu. It was interest¬
ing to observe tlie retirement to back benches of gentlemen
who were components iu former Conservative Ministries,
of whom 'Sir. Mowbray was a special example. For
long the scene was almost one of hurly-burly, out of which
it w as difficult to pick individualism ; and nobody settled
down before the summons to tho House of Peere. This,
it might have been supposed, would have emptied the Lower
House, but it did not ; new memberdom apparently not being
curious about the ceremony in the Upper House, with its
quaint formalities, which verge so much on tho grotesque.
Indeed, the scene there w-as more ungainly ami miinfcerestin g
than ever, the area of tlie Chamber being bare of peers, so that
tho uncomfortable souse of being nearly ludicrous in their
costume and position which must be alive in tho Lords Com¬
missioners was, perhaps, Lss intense from the fact that they
were not playing th© ami. i.-n/orced upon them before an
audience which was either large-or critical.

When the Commons begun to avail tliem 3 sdve 3 of tho
gracious license ho courtly givi*?» by the Lords Commissioners,
there was a very large assembbgc. Tim .Ministerialist ranged
themselves in compact and serried order. Of cour* - there were
only sub-lieutenants on the Treasury bench—as Mr. \Y. li. Smith
wearinghis blushing honours with a .sort of pleased modesty *
Sirll. Selwin Ibbetson, evidently trying tn lout very dhmified
and to a certain extent succeeding ; and Mr. Algernon iJ'erfcon
seeming very grave if not pensive. These wore marly Ml the
representatives of the Government, and iu their miiLt w-as to
be seen Sir Percy Herbert, who holds no office at ail, but who,
it was seen at ter wards, was there with a purpose— namely, that
of giving the Ministerial fiat and congratulation to the uowiy-
elected Speaker. It was naturally mentally inquired w-hy lio
should be so chosen. On the front Opposition bench many uf
the ex-M misters placed themselves. Notably, Mr. Gladstone,
having glided in from behind tho Speaker’s chair, slipped
in a remote comer seat at the upper end of the bench
by no means occupying tho place traditionally held by
the leader of the Opposition. There, too, in his imme¬
diate vicinity, apparently avoiding notice, was Mr. Lowe, and
Lord Hartragton might have been found out by any who sought
him earnestly ; while Mr. Childers, with a free aud unembar¬
rassed air and in an easy attitude, w-as in the most central
place. It may be observed that, during the preliminary ^roup-
mg, before everyone was fixed in his special place, the Liberals,
who mingled in the crowd on tho floor, seemed no way crest¬
fallen, but interchanged courtesies with their triumphant foa«

« and bore with equanimity many a jest (there were obviously no
w-hieh was broken upon them by facetious Conservatives.

.. . f doubt Mr. Chaplin, w-ho proposed the nomination
of Mr. Brand for the Speakership, did his work well. Eminently
gentlemanly, as might have been expected, he exhibited a good
feeling and a taste which caused him to be almost, if not alto¬
gether, eloquent, while Lord George Cavendish, who seconded
the motion, infused a dry humour into liis remarks, w-hich was
very effective. It was to be observed that all the encomiums that
were lavished on Mr. Brand by both members w-ere more
heartily and universally cheered by the Conservatives than by
the Liberals. J

All this time Mr. Brand had been, so to speak, crouchin«'
m a more or less obscure seat below the gangway on
the Opposition side, evidently endeavouring to seoni un¬
conscious of what w as going on. When called from his re¬
treat by the loud invitation of the House, he rose with that
air of coyness and unwillingness to be honoured and that
humility which are considered proper in a gentleman who is
about to be inducted into tlie chair. But his speech w-as still
m tone and spirit assured ; and, even while he w as professing
humble gratitude, it might have been detected that he was
conscious that all that had been said abont him was not beyond
the truth. Y hen he had been conveyed (in custody os it were)
to the chair by lus proposer and seconder, and made his grateful
obeisance and acknowledgments, as has been said, Sir Percy Hcr-
. t spoke gratulation for the Government, in a slightly lumber¬
ing way. llicn there was a pause ; and then slow-ly, and, as it
seemed, reluctantly, Mr. Gladstone came forward, and, stand-
in g very high up at the table, and by no means in a place of
pride, on the front Opposition bench, spoke for himself an l
those who, judging by tlie loud and universal cheering from the
Liberal members, are still his adherents, and, with great iai-
prctsiv< nees aud iu choice laugua-e, paid his testimony to the
ments of the re-clccted arbiter of tlie House. There was
nothing more to be done ; aud Mr. W. H. Smith executed his
first ofncial i arhamentary function by moving tho immidiato.
adjournment of the House.

THE TTJ.TTRTRATED LONDON NEWS

THE ASIIANTEE WAR.

The news of Sir Garnet Wolseley’s severe battle with the
A&bnivtees at Amoaful. on Jan. 31, followed by several days’
more fighting cn the road to Coomassie, to the capture of that
town and the submission of King Kofi! Kalkalli, on Feb. 5, was
published in our last week’s paper. The first portion of this
intelligence had been conveyed from Madeira to Lisbon, in
forty one hours, by one of the Admiralty despatch- boate em¬
ployed in that service. Our Illustration, showing the arrival of
such a Vessel at Lisbon, has therefore some interest upon this
occasion. The paddle-wheel steam-yacht Enchantress, of 835
tons a t'd 250-horse power, carrying a single gnn, and the tender
Vigilant, also a paddle-wheel steamer of the ’same dimensions,
w itli t wo guns, arc the vessels at present so engaged. They have to
intercept the West African mail-steamers calling at Madeira
from Cape Const Castle. They prepare for sea immediately
the mail is signalled off Madeira, ana as soon as they get the
despatchrft they leave at full speed for Lisbon, a voyage of
forty-four hours in ordinary weather. The daily press of
London is now fully represented at Lisbon, there being special
agents for the Times, Daily News, Daily Telegraph , and
Standard and Renter’s telegraph news. When the despatch-
boat is eecn from the Lisbon bar the fact is at once telegraphed
to the city, and nil the London newspaper agents are soon afloat,
usually in boats with four rowers. The stout boatmen of the
Cacs Sodre are considered first-rate watermen. Instantly as
the steamer moors in front of the Rock of the Condo d’Obidos,
foimerly called the Old Packet Stairs, the British Government
despatches are sent ashore in charge of an officer; then the press
telegrams are delivered, and a boat-race for the shore is com¬
menced, the boatmen entering into the spirit of rivalry as
keenly as their employers. Having got to land, cabs are taken
to the offices, and the telegrams are put upon the wire without
loss of time. The Portuguese wonder afc the expenses naid by
the leading London journals for this service, as journalism in
Lisbon is upon a much smaller scale. It is true that our Gold
CoSst war excites little interest in Lisbon, and nothing is heard
of it there beyond a few lines occasionally in the Portuguese
journals.

We present this week no fewer than nine Illustrations of
the campaign, all from sketches by our Special Artist. The
one which appears foremost, on our front page, show's th9
incident of a native chief entertained by some British officers
in camp, and drinking her Majesty's health, either in the palm
wine of his own country', or in that of a European vintage
possibly brought by them among private stores.

The militoiy gentlemen of this expedition have bad to put
up with srch lodgings as they could get on the road through
the forest between Cape Coast Castle and Coomassie But after
they crotsed the Pram and traversed the Assin territory to
enter that of the Asliantees, a decided improvement was found
in the native buildings available for their temporary use. The
palace rf the Adansi Hills Chief, or King, at Fomanna, which,
was occupied by Nir Garnet Wolaeley and his staff, gives a
favourable notion of the merits of Ashantee architecture. The
floor is painted with a coating of clay, in colour a deep rich
Etruscan Ted, with a beautiful polish. The walls arc washed
with white clay, which the natives of the Gold Coast often take
«s a medicine in avater or chew' as a sweetmeat. The walls are
also decorated with strange and rather tasteful designs. We
cannot say much about the furniture, as the people of Fomanua
took away their valuables with them. Bat they left many
stools, curved in the seat, and with the legs handsomely carved;
some ruddy-made tables, clay pots, ami calabashes. Thesa,
w ith some old pipe-heads, stone tools, and musical instruments,
w ere all the booty obtained in Fomanna.

Aloinsie, which Sir Garnet Wolseley reached on Jan. 20, is
at the Ime of the Adansi Mills on the south side ; and on the
other side of the hills, going on towards Coomossic, aro the
villages of Qubah and Fomanna, only a mile or two apart.
The A« Misi Hills were first passed on the 16th and 17th, by
Lord Gifford's advanced ree« nnoitring party, who met with no
oppcH'h n, though an Ashant-eo priest cried to frighten them
back, in the absurd mariner wo showed last week. Our Artist
sends n view'of Moinrie, drawn on the 24th, with the huts and
tents occupied by some of the troops and with parties of
soldiers and l aggage-carriers on the ground. His sketch of
men oi the Naval Brigade enjoying their breakfast in the court
of un Ashnnkc house w as taken at Qaisah. He describes the
house rs confuting of four rooms, or huts, built on the four
sides of the court, which is entered by a very narrow doorway
and passage at one comer. The timber beams and hard
earthen w aUn, which are plastered, display much ornamentd
sculpture of an ingenious pattern. The floors aro of burnt
clay, bard and smooth, and painted red ; they are raised 2 ft.
above the ground. The several rooms aro usually the bed¬
rooms of a native family ; the one farthest from the open door-
w ey is allotted to the girls or unmarried women. A tree is
often j.Janted in the court of a houae, and various articles of
“ fetish,?* by way of a charm or a sacrifice, are hung upon its
branches. Jt is customary to bury gold-dust and jewels, or
other valuables, at the foot of this tree, where the native robber
will fear to dig them up.

The different corps of Six* Garnet Wolseley’s mixed force in
the camp at T’rah-feu showed an odd diversity of attire and
equipment, os may be observed in our Artist’s representation of
half a dozen sentiies, belongingto their respective lines. The
Fnclish sailor will at cnee be recognised, but he has quite a
soldierly air, being one of the smart men of the Naval Brigade
detached for this inland service. On his right hand, but to the
reader’s left, of course, is a negro 8 >ldier of ono of the West
India regiments. On the sailor’s left hand are two of our West
African auxiliaries, a Kossoh man, from the neighbourhood of
Sierra Leone, and a Bonny man, from the delta of the Niger,
w ho ni o litt-lc better than savages. The Kossoh wears a canvas
shu t, like a night-gown : he has a fetish necklace on h : m. Tho
two men at the left-hand side of the engraving are Houssas
of Captain Bait’s Artillery dressed in an easy-fitting uniform of
dark blue, w hich consists of loose wide breeches, folded waist-
cloth, oren-skoved vest, cross-belts, and light cap with a num¬
bered pfate in front. They are fine fellows, and their officers
have four.d than w ell worth the trouble of drilling them to
era t v and work the battery of light mins, which no Europeans
could have done in that climate. We give two other Illustra¬
tions of the discipline and treatment of negro troops. One is
the pacing of a West India regiment : the officer sits, wfith the
] ay-list ; nd the little rolls of money, while the sergeant calls
oi t the n cn’s names. He sometimes'has to mention the reason
why a deduction from the pay is to be made for some fault. In
null csre it is amusing to seethe dejected looks of the de¬
linquents, compared with the others’ cheerful faces. These
men are rtgular soldiers, and not bad soldiers either ; they are
usually stationed at Sierra Leone and Cape Coast Castle. The
other'illustration show's Lieutenants Irwin and Douglas in¬
specting the an munition of the Bonny men, and counting the
lotmdfi of cartridges in the possession of each man. These
irregular troops are armed with the old smoothbore musket,
r< inerted into a breechloader, which they have learned to
use pretty quickly, but are still very'- indifferent marks¬
men. Each man has to carry seventy rounds of am¬

munition, in tw’O small pouches, ready for immediate use,
besides a larger pouch containing a reserve ; also a blanket, a
leather lmvresac for his rations, and commonly an old preserved-
mcat tin, which serves for cooking rice or other food. ihey
arc much addicted, however, to robbing each other, and wal
quarrel noisily about it w'hen the officer s back is turned.
Colonel Macleod, 42ud Highlanders, lias been appointed briga¬
dier to command tho irregular regiments—that is, uolonel
Wood’s mixed regimeut of 1? an tees, Elininas, Bonny msn, and
Kossoli b, and Captain Bait’s Houssa gunners, w’ith Major Baker
Bussell’s regiment.

T he labour of cutting a road or path through the dense
forest is much increased by the swampy ground in. some places,
and near Sutah the engineers found it needful to construct three
miles and a half of “ corduroy road.” This work, performed
by 150 natives, is the subject of one of our Artist’s sketches.
After cutting side channels or gutters for the water to run off,
a number of trees were felled and divided into logs; theso
were laid side by side upon the marshy ground, and were
covered with twigs and earth or sand, to make a road for the
troops. The natives, however, found such a road very painful
to their feet, and would prefer wading through mud or wrater
up to their knees. It required constant vigilance and incessant
commands or threats on the part of the engineer to keep the
labourers at tlicir task ; if he turned aside for a moment they
would all eit down and do nothing. But the work was finished
in very good time.

The diplomatic interview of Lieutenant Irwin with the
King or Chief named Amoowah, ono of our native allies, took
place at Dunquak some weeks ago, but it iB a characteristic
example of native state and dignity. HL Majesty sits beneath
the shade of an English black umbrella, wrapped in a loose
robe and smoking a cigar which has been given him by his
English visitor, who stands at hia left hand. The armour-
bearer, sword-bearer and mace-bearer are posted beside him,
with two or three soldiers of his body-guard, having the short
Snider rifles presented by our Government. This King had
done good service in the fighting that took place near Cape
Coast Castle.

Tho Admiralty, on Wednesday last, received from Com¬
modore Hewitt, V.C., a despatch bearing date Feb. 2, at
Agimammu, fifteen miles from Ooomassie, which gives further
particulars of the great battle of the 31st at Amoaful, so far
as the Naval Brigade were concerned in it. He reports that,
since his former letter of Jan. 29, the Naval Brigade, in con¬
junction with the rest of tho troops, has been hotly engaged
with tire enemy on three separate occasions :—

On our anivnl at Detehlas.n, on the momlrg of the 29tli, Wood’s and
Russell’s regiment*, with the Naval Brigade and 23rd Fusiliers, under thu
cctuuund of Colonel M'Leoil. 42 ml Highlanders, iw re ordered to a lvauce
lour miles into the buah to the village of Borumos&a and at tack it, with
tlie object of driving out the King ol Adansi. who, with a large force, was
occupying a strong position on our Hank, Alter a sluirp engagement the
cneno. were eventually dislodged, although not without some loss on o;ir
side.

On the evening of Jan. 30 our troops and carriers wore massed at
lefarfu, and early up the following morning t hey advanced in four columns
to attack a strong force of tho enemy, who had established themaelYe i a
tkoit distance south of Amoaful. Without attempting to give the details
of the GeneraTfi plan of operational will endeavour to atford such par¬
ticulars as will enable their Lordships to gain some idea of the position
'occupied by the Naval Brigade during tho engagement.

The first encounter tent place at is a.m , when the village of Egginassie,
about a mile from Amoaful, was carried by a rush of the scouts under
hold Gifford. 'Hie Naval Brigade was divided into two wings, one, under
Captain Walter James Grubbe, of her Majesty's ship Tamar, being
attached to the left column, and the other, under Acting Captain Percy
Lrxroot-.re, of her Majesty's thin Druid, to the right. On the advance
being made, the right and left columns were ordered to cirt paths at right
angles to the main road, for a distance of 390 yards, into the hash, and
then to fonn upon the dunks of tho 42nd Regiment, who, in tlio front
column, were making their way through the thick bush <m each side of
the road. The enemy’s centre was at Amoaful, uud, throwing out two
columns towards uh in a diagonal direction, they formed, as it were, a
bread arrow with the main path, in which order tliey received our attack.
After suffering very heavy losses, the 42nd Highlanders eventually
captured the town at 1.45 P in.

I lmv© great pleasure in acquainting their Lordships with the steady
behaviour of the Naval Brigade. During a very trying dine they showed
tho gieatest coolness, and, advancing fclowjy under a continuous and heavy
lire, steadily drove back the enemy until three o'clock, when they forced
them to make n precipitate retreat, and the day was ours. Although it is
quite impossible to give even mi approximate estimate o' the strength of
the enemy opposed to us, I .should say, from the number of Aslianfcee
corpses we have taken from the roadside and buried, there must Imvo
been several thousands of them. On the baggage being moved up from
Tnsuifu towards the evening, the guard protecting it was attacked, and
some of the carriers, dropping their loads, iuu away. Nearly all of it was,
however, afterwards Turoverod, and .sir Garnet has since successfully
ectahlk hed a line of communication with his roar.

On Sunday the Nnvnl Brigade were sent on to a place called Becquah
(Baqunh'), three miles from Amoaful. where they attacked a large number
of Arimnteee, and drove them back, with considerable loss. On Monday,
Feb. 2, we came in here ; and to-morrop - , at daylight, we are to advance
ten miles further, without baggage. This will bike us within about live
miles of Cooirmssie. There hits been some desultory lighting during the
day, in which the Naval Brigade were not engaged.

inclosed is a return of casualties, which does not include tho losses
suffered by the regiments, which, i regret to say, in tho case of the 42nd,
were very heavy. Their Lordships will observe that a very stubborn
resistance was offered to us.

iv appears to nave oeen a mistake, in the telegram of la?
week, to report Major Baird among the killed. The names i
the officers actually killed or wounded, and tlie numbers <
other casualties in each portion of the forces, were published i
our last. Further particulars are still awaited.

The Earl of Carnarvon sent to the papers the followii
extract from a private letter received on Thursday at tl
Colonial Office from Mr. Goldsworthy, second in command uud
Captain. Glover, dated her Majesty’s ship Victor Emma mu
Cape Coast, Feb. 8 :—‘News has reached ua within the la

This is authentic. This will only be a line, as the speci

The Admiralty has not received any confirmation of th
report. On the contrary', Sir Garnet Wolseley states in h
telegram from Coomassie that the King had left the town hi
was coming back to sign a treaty. The latest intelligenc

FRANCE.

{From oar Conesjxmdent in Paris.)

Thursday, March 5.

Last Sunday’s elections in the departments of the Vienne and
Vaucluse may be looked upon as inaugurating a now era in
tactics of at least one fraction of the Republican party, jg V;T
since the Parliamentary coup-d'etat which overthrew
Thiers, and more especially since the voting of the Scptenmt
on Nov. 19 last, the policy of the Opposition party has not beau
to harass the Cabinet by continual interpellations, amond
meats, manifestoes, and “ incidents,” but rather to allow it
every possible latitude to carry its pet projects into effect
The general opinion was that, left to the in solves, the Boo
de Broglie and his colleagues would so thoroughly 0oai .
promise themselves in the eyes of the country that thair f a jj
would be inevitable. This policy was the result of an alli^
between MM. Thiers and Gambetta, both of whom, beside
putting, as it were, a bridle upon their own tonnes, r e:orr ^
mended calm patience and moderation to their follower*
But the'fiery spirits of the Radical deputies, tired of thi*
Fabian policy, have long chafed under the restraint imposed nn on
them by their leader, and in a mutinous moment M, Narnia
and other malcontents paid a visit to M. Ledra Rollin at
Fontenay aux Roses, tho result of which has been his candi.
dature and election in tlie Vaucluse.

The presumption now is that henceforth M. Gambetta ia
supplanted in the leadership of the Republican party. Tks
importance of this fact cannot be over-estimated, as M. Lodru
Rollin’s election will lead to a more harassing and resolute ou.
position on the part of the Radical deputies, and more tluu
ono exciting Parliamentary battle is doubtless in store for us.
It seems strange that M. Ledru Rollin, to whom the Radical
organs predicted such an overwhelming majority, should only
have beaten his adversary by less than 3000 votes out of 09,09),
esy^ccially in Vaucluse, which is essentially a Republican de¬
partment. We aro told, however, that the Royalist Mayors
recently appointed by tho Government have been resorting to
tin method of manipulating votes which obtained under tho
Empire ; and in one commune alone 800 electors have formally
protested before a notary against the conduct of the Mayor,
who had destroyed their voting-papers. On the other hand,
the Radical candidate’s insignificant majority is regarded with
satisfaction by the moderate Left. The ballot shows that tbs
number of Monarchical votes recorded is not greater than at
tlie last election ; while tho moderate Republicans, we are told,
almost unanimously abstained from voting. The Monarchists
cannot, therefore, draw arguments unfavourable to the Republic
from the result.

M. Lepetita scarcely hoped-for election ia the Vicuuc ia
hailed, on the other hand, as a great Republican triumph. Hi*
return under the patronage of M. Thiers ia stronger evidence
than any vet afforded of the desire of the country for a mode¬
rate Republic. Tlie Vienne has hitherto been considered as a
Royalist stronghold ; and when M. de Soubcyran camo forward
an a Monarchical candidate in 1871, he was elected almcwfc
unanimously. The Royalist candidate, tho Count de B ;au champ,
was supported, on Sunday, by the prefects and the Govern-
mc-Lt Mayors, and his defeat is a great blow for the Coa*erva-
tive party.

M. Buffet, the President of the National Assembly, is
growing more and more unpopular every day. At a roceat
sitting M. Pouycr Qucrtier brought forward a project for taxiug
sugar-refiners, which was vehemently opposed by the Govern¬
ment. The discussion, which was purely financial at first, at
length degenerated into a political debate, and a ministerial
cnsi8 w as even feared when, yielding to the entreaties of some
of the members of the majority, M. Pouyer Qaertier sud¬
denly withdrew lu3 bill The Left was loud in expressing its
indignation at this proceoding; and M. Davergier de Hauraun%
having protested against the private consultation which the
Government had held in one corner of trie Salle with M.
Pouyer Qucrtier; was called to order by President Buffet. This
so exasperated the Republican that an ordinarily silent

member sprang to his leet, and, apostrophising the President,
exclaimed, “ Your partiality is something revolting.” Naturally
enough, he was called to order, and the sitting broke up amid
considerable confusion. The XJX tme Steele, M. About’s piper,
appeared on the morrow with a long personal attack directed
against M. Buffet, for which its sale was immediately pro¬
hibited on the public way. Police agents have since seized
parcels of the paper from porters, and have even forbidden
people reading it in the streets.

The Assembly has authorised the Government, by 552 votci
against G4, to prosecute M. Melvil Bloncourt, deputy for Gui-
daloupo, for participation in the acts of tlie Commune. A series
of proposed taxes, many of which—such as an adhesive stamp
upon all photographs, suggested by M. de Lorgeril, and a 10b
tax on pianos, advised by M. do Bolcastel—were more ingenious
than sagacious, have been rejected during the week. An attempt
to tax gas consumed in private houses has also failed, and it ia
greatly feared that the Assembly will be obliged to increase the
obnoxious salt duty as the only expedient to meet the deficit in
this year’s revenue.

M. Emile Ollivier, who has returned to Paris, will he re¬
ceived to-day at tlie French Academy. His address is reported
to contain several eulogistic paragraphs concerning Napoleon 111.,
which he lias declined to modify in compliance with the
request of several Academicians. When this address was read
to tho Academy at a recent private sitting M. Guizot abruptly
rose and, violently apostrophising M. Ollivier, whom he called
“ man who went to war with a light heart,” left the room,
vowing that he would never return.

M. Thiers has received au address and an album from a

THE FAMINE IN BENGAL.

Reassuring accounts were telegraphed from the Viceroy at
the close of last week, to the ofiecs that report j hal boon re¬
ceived of the completion of transport arrangement i in North
Behai and Bhagulporc*; that throughout tho North-West Pro¬
vinces improvement was generally felt; and that tho late rains
hud been beneficial* that crops were ripening, and that the relief
\voiks Kiliiced to keep down distress. But Mr. Archibald
Forbes, the spcciul reporter sent by the Daily JVews, visited the
Durbongah road relief works on Friday. Here, according to
his sl count, 15,000 pci tons are employed “on the semi-starva¬
tion wages of fchree-iudfpeneo daily." He adds that they are
reflected, defrauded, and irregularly paid:—“There is no super¬
vision, except one native official for one hour in the morning.
The Government is to blame for the delay in sending European
RtiTjervieore, ns requested by the local officials. Most of tho
jmolic works are in the same state from the same cause. I
tonncl many persons in an extremely emaciated state ; and I
saw one famine-corpse lying unburied in a ruined temple. There
is much mortality among the children. The famine-wave is
threatening to swamp preventive efforts. Shortness of money
in the local treasury threatens to cause a collapse in the transport
service and the public works.”

The Marquis of Salisbury has taken prompt action in re¬
ference to these statements, as is shown by the following tele¬
grams, which have been published :—

From tho Secretary of State for India to tho Viceroy, Calcutta. Sent
FO>. !&, 1874 “ Daily Xcir* telegram received about Durban gah road

Meanwhile the Daily IVcvjs’ Special CoinmLsai.onor telegraphs
again as follow's :—

PCtenu. Eastern Tikhuot, Sunday.—I find general, severe, and
increasing privation among tho lower clashes. Tho better classes are not
ruiteriiic. About and third of the inhabitant-: in each village are under¬
going slow starvation. Several famine deaths luive already occurred.

on the road relief works hero. There were only 15,000 lari. week. An effort
to relieve a thousand of the weaker by cooked food has been frustrated by
the refusal to take it, from caste prejudice. The people preferred to starve
on their wages, sweated by the peculations of tho native overseers. There
lias been no ruin. Sir Richard Temple begins his Punieah jfcmrfco-morrov.

A telegram, dated Calcutta'WVednesday, received from tho
Viceroy, states the measures being taken to supply the people
with food. He says :—

Orders of Government new amount to 420,000 ton-; of which 350.000
irom beyond sea. Of tliia quantity 100,000 arrived. We havo been
kcejnng up fur some while a constant stream of from 2000 to 2500 ton*
:i day into distressed districts. Private trade is bringing in grain
from Noith-Weri and Puniaub at the rate of about Pi00 tons a
day. Local transport, which has been main difficulty, now fairly well
organised. Over 50,000 carts nuw employed in districts north of Ganges,
under contract*, in bringing in Government grain, will .shortly be increased
to 70,000 In worat district distribution of relief is being given by circles
of moderate area, each village bring visited and dealt with. Two deaths
from starvation reported ft) Mongbyr. Non© elsewhere yet. but in parts

A meeting of tho executive committee of the Bengal Famine
Relief Fund was held at the Mansion House on Monday after¬
noon—the Lord Mayor presiding. A telegram from the Daily
Ni U'sf special commissioner in India was read descriptive of the
existing distress in the faiuiuo-stricken districts. In the dis¬
cussion which followed, Lord Lawrence was amongst tlie
speakers. Before the meeting separated, it was resolved to
remit a third sum of £10,000 to the Calcutta Refief Committee.
Up to Wednesday evening the public subscription now being
raised in the City amounted to upwards of £33,000.

At n meeting on behalf of tho Bengal Famine Fund, hold in
Manchester, it was unanimously resolved that a natioual grant
would be the most effective mode of expressing national sym¬
pathy, and that the cost of such aid should be thrown fairly and
equitably on Imperial resources. Popular feeliug in Manchester
does not appear to coincide in tho spirit which was manifested
at this meeting, and the Mayor has been urged to call another
meeting without delay.

At Preston, a motion which was submitted to a public
meeting, called to discuss the question of the Bengal famine,
was met by an amendment proposed by the Vicar of Preston,
to the effect that at present it is not desirable to subscribe
for the relief of the sufferers in Iuilia. After some discussion,
this amendment was carried.

On Thursday £5000 was forwarded to Calcutta from Glas¬
gow, being its first instalment for the relief of the sufferers in
Bengal. Subscriptions are being liberally sent in.

public purposes, and is estimated to cost 2,500,000 francs.

NATIONAL SPORTS.

The Grand National Hunt Meeting, which this year took place
at Aylesbury, for the first time, was scarcely so successful as
usual. This must be attributed partly to the recent heavy
rains, which had made the ground eo heavy and rotten that
many owners sent their horses home .iguin directly they had
seen’ the course, and partly to the big, old-fashioned fences,
which did not at all suit the ideas of some of the modern steeple¬
chase horses, which, in too many casts, are merely ex-flafc-
racors, converted by a few weeks’ drilling over bushed hurdles.
The attendance was enormous ; though the Prince of Wales,
not having returned from the Continent, could not bo present ;
nor did Mr. Disraeli, who, being one of the stewards, was con¬
fidently expected, put in an appearance. The Grand National
Hunt Steeplechase was, of course, the chief event of Tuesday.
It hud attracted one hundred subscribers ; still, several of
these merely took a nomination and paid the minor forfeit, and
a field of a dozen was all that could be mustered. The race
was scarcely in doubt after the first mile, for Lucellum,
who recently won a email event at Doncaster, always held a
good lead, and, steered by Captain Smith, one of our most
accomplished gentlemen riders, finally won in a canter by ten
lengths. In the course of the race Captain Riddell, who rode
Minister, had a nasty fall and broke his collar-bone. The wretched
display of Rysh worth (12 at. 71b.) in the Aylesbury Open
Handicap was the chief feature of Wednesday’s sport. Tho
second in last year’s Grand National fell at tho brook, and,
after refusing two or three times, was pulled up before li j had
gone a mile, so the prospects of liis Bristol and Liverpool
Lackers look particularly gloomy.

We much regret to* have to record the death of the Hon.
George Wentworth Fitz william, which melancholy event occurred
on V ednesday afternoon. The deceased gentleman recently
had a severe I all when hunting with the Fitzwilfiam hounds, of
which he was master, and erysipelas sot in. Ho was in his fifty-
eighth year, and was brother of tho present Earl Fitz william.

The well-known steeplechase rider and traiaer “Chris"
Greeu died on Thursday week.

Ono or two unpleasantly foggy days militated some vh it
against the success of the Ashdown Coursing Meeting; still
hares were strong and plentiful, and, on the whole, the fixture
was a great success. Only five of the Waterloo dogs —Royal
Mary, Claimant, Ruby, Lighthouse, and Crtesus—appeared in
tho Craven Cup, and of these the last named was put out
by Deodora’s Daughter in the first ties, after a trial of great
length and severity. Ilia victress was herself beateu by
Claimant in the next round, and we understand that this was
her last appearance in public ; indeed, as she came out at Sun-
dome in 1870, and lias been very hard worked ever since, her
retirement is well earned. In the third ties Ruby and
Claimant w ere tho only “ survivors of Waterloo," and
at last the former won tho stake by beating Belle
of Havering in the final spin. The partiality of some
greyhounds for a particular country is remarkable; for
Ruby could not w’in a single course at Altcar in the previous -
week, and, by a very singular coincidence, she and Bello of
Havering were slipped for the final course of the Craven Cup
last year, when the result was tho same as on the present occa-
sion. Ruby ran through the stake in brilliant style, scirjely
being challenged till she met Belle of Havering, when slia jii3t
won, hut with nothing to spare. Thirty-two puppies eoufcested
"the V ffmgton Cup, but wo doubt it there w'as anything very
grand among them. It was won by Temerity, by Tony—
Beaufort ; and Cacique II., by Regulua—Restitution, was tho
runner-up. Luff' stripped very well indeed ; but some of Mr.
Warwick’s decisions caused a great deal of grumbling.

The Cambridge University handicaps were brought off on
Saturday and Monday last. The quarter-mile was won by A.
K. Lewis (Corpus), who had twelve yards start, and showed
very good form ; but the running in the one-mile and three-
mile races was decidedly poor. The first meeting of the London
Athletic Club will take place to-day (Saturday) at Lillie Bridge,
commencing at about three o’clock.

The Council of the Royal Academy who will saleot the works
for the forthcoming exhibition consists of the following mem¬
bers Messrs Arnritagc, Cooke, Cousins, .Dobson, Fasd,
Herbert, Horsley, Lewis, Millais, Stocks, Street, and Ward.
The hungiuc committee will bo Messrs. Arinilago, Herbert,
Horsley, and Ward. Mr. Marshall will arrange the sculpture,
Mr. fcmirke the architectural designs, and JSLr. Cousins the
engravings. Works of paintiDg, architecture, or engraving
intended for the ensuing exhibition must be sent in on Monday.
30th, or Tuesday, the olst inst. ; and works of sculpture on
Wednesday, April 1.

The exhibition at the Royal Academy of tlie works of Sir
bid win Landseer (which clones on Saturday next) has proved
more attractive, and consequently more successful financially,
than nay previous winter exhibition at Burlington .House of
work8 by old masters.

The exhibition of Mr. Hohnan Hunt's “Shadow of Death,"
at the neighbouring gallery of the New British Institution, in
Old Bond-street, maintains its extraordinary popularity with
little diminution. A remarkable evidence of the wide-spread
interest this picture has excited is afforded by tho fact of the
production oi a French pamphlet containing a “descriptive,
historical, and critical notice ” of tho picture by Dr. Le Roy de
Sainte-Croix, a well-known .French writer on art. If we can¬
not agree with the Doctor on all points, ho has unquestionably
given a very able and eloquent account of the picture, uniting
critical acumen to a generously-appreciative Bpirit. Since M.
Berger was smitten with the novel charms of the i>rc-Puip ha elite
and other British pictures in the Paris International Exhibition
of ’55, no such tribute lias been paid by a foreigner to British
art. As far as we remember, no British picture lias ever before
attained the honour of such elaborate consideration and warm
applause from a French critic.

Mr. Fahey has resigned his office of secretary to the Insti¬
tute of Tain tors in Water Colours—a post he had held for
nearly forty years.

Since the death of Mrs. Bowes (Countess of Montalbo), the
wife of Mr. John Bowes, of Barnard Castle and Sfcreatlam
Castle, which took place about three weeks back, at the family
residence in Paris, it has been announced that the palatial
building now in course of erection at Barnard Castle has,
together with the important collections and the park belonging
thereto, been munificently bequoatbed to the inhabitants of
the town of Barnard Caatle. The collections, which arc large
and very valuable, consistof pictures, statues, ceramic and other
v. oiks of ait, uud curiosities, including the almost unrivalled
collection of Japanese and other Oriental enamels, &c., lately
• xhibited at the Liverpool Arte Club. The collections were formed
l y Mr. and Vis. Bowes during a long series of years, and tho
1 andecnie edifice in the style of the French Renaissance at
Barnard Luetic designed to contain them was commenced
tow aid s the elope oi 18t>9. It will probably be some years
before the museum can be thrown open to the public, so great
i* the amount of carving and ornamentation both externally
and internally. In accordance with, tho wish of Mrs. Bowes,
a chapel will be erected near tho museum, in which her
remains will eventually repose. The magnificent gift is, it
appears, to he named “The Josephine and John Bowes
Museum and Park.”

Tho extensive restoration of Worcester Cathedral is nearly
completed, and the cathedral will be reopened for Divine
Xcrvice on the 8th of next mouth. By that time it is expected
shat all which will remain to be done will be the lighting up of
the choir ami the tilling the west window with painted glass.

The scries of statues representing some of the more famous
characters in the Waverlejr novels which have been on exhi¬
bition for seme time jjaat in tho north octagon of the Royal
Scottish Academy have been placed in tho lower niches of
the Scott Monument at Edinburgh. The statues, twenty-three
in number, haw been executed py various artists, and include
the following personages:— Jeanie Deans, Dumbiedykes,
Leicester, Amy Robeart, Edith of Lome, The Baron of Brad-
wardine, Flora M 'Ivor, the Glee Maiden, Hal o’ the Wynd,
Friar Tuck, Rebecca, Saladin, Minna and Magnus Troil,
Richard Cour de Lion, Queen Mary, Halbert Glendiuniug,
King James VI., Diana Vernon, Baillie Nicol Jar vie, The
Bruce, Etlie Ochiltree, and Old Mortality.

Among other pictures destroyed in tho fire at the Pantech¬
nicon that wo have not yet mentioned, wo regret to hoar of
the loss of the collection belonging to Sir Frederic Henry Sykes,
w hick included four valuable works by Gainsborough. One of
thesew asanumisuallylargeand important example of the master,
containing a portrait of Sir Francis Sykes, of Basildon, Sir
Freddie’s grandfather, two hordes, groom, and dog. The pic¬
ture measured about 12 ft. in width by 9 ft. or 10 fc. in height.

Our art-contemporary the Portfolio has lately attained in
the average quality of its etched illustrations a degree of excel-
1* nee which deserves hearty recognition and encouragement,
f l he accomplished art-critic and charming writer Mr. Haraortou,
who is the editor of and the largest contributor to tho Portfolio,

) as, by his admirable work on etching and the examples, both
foreign and British, which lie has caused to be published, done
more than any other to popularise this fascinating but hitherto,
in this country, neglected art. A new feature in our con¬
temporary is a series of etchings by eminent hands
from pictures in the National Gallery. The number
for the current month (March) contains an etching by
M. C. Waltner from one of Rembrandt's portraits of himself—
that painted w hen he was in the thirty-third year of his age.
When we say that the etching is not unworthy of the portrait,
aud would not disgrace the prince of etchers himself, we could
hardly offer higher praise ; and if the Portfolio maintains the
present standard of its illustrations and letterpress it wid
become an art-work of permanent value and interest.

The first number of a new r series of the JIllustration Iforl'cok
lias been published in an English version, and deserves a
line of commendation in this column in virtue of its excellent
coloured lithographic illustrations of new flowers.

A new calritr of etchings by that rising etcher, M. C. Storm
dc Gravesande, lies before us. Though unequal in merit, some
of the examples evinco a marked advance upon those wc
noticed last year, and may well be coveted by the most fastidious
collector. A very striking and manly etching is “ The Port
of Honffeur;” the bristling nrasts of the shipping arc in
effective contrast with the soft landscape distance, the hori¬
zontal of the quays, and the water—the play and twinkle
i,? tl.c water as it chafes within its narrowed limits in the port
1 ting expressed with a felicity we have seldom seen equalled.
Excellent, also, are some studies on the coast o£ Normandy,
with rocks and fi fiber women telling dark against tho shining
shallow!i anil calm luminous sea. M. de Gruvesaude is likewise
lucccftiul in characteristic landscape foreground, a3 in a study
v i in old water-mill and other subjucte.

Our English Alfred and his Princess fair.

Whom Russia gives to English wedded life,

So newly made a Husband and a Wife 1

The gladness of our love shall hurst aflame
For tlree, dear Lady, sweet in Woman’s youth,

As when, eleven years ago, in truth,

Thy husband’s brother’s wife from Denmark came.

Marie aird Alexandra, Northern brides I
The honours of both husbands at your sides
Are worthy of your birtkrank Europe hails
The British names of Edinburgh and Wole3!

Thy sire, be lov’d Grand Duchess, reigns as one
From Baltic s«ands to far Karat chat k a’d shore ;

Be curbs the Scythian, he reclaims the Hun,

He lifts the serf to freedom. Who does more ?

Great is the Czar, and wo believe him good ;

We dare to trust him, though we once withstood,

And would again, did Russia look that way,

The foul attempt to filch an Eastern prey.

There, in tho silent steppes of Asia vast,

Wasted by lawless rapine, seared and chill.

Haunt of barbarian hordes for ages past.

Let his benevolence repair the ilL

There let him rule ; may God his sceptre bless !
England has other tasks, wo think not less.

“Ships, colonies, and commerce," are the means,
Comfort the end, for all who are our Queen’s.

Is this our only mission upon earth ?

1b this our noole errand on the wave?

Nay, God forbid ! Else would I trace my birth,

As willingly to savage or to slave.

For Justice and Humanity ; for Him

Who came, our Brother, w hen our life was diui,

And w alked and talked with us, ami ahowod the road,
For erring Man to find his home in God;

For eacred Truth and Right, that all may see,

That all may serve, His principles of peace,

For these is Britain great. O may it be,

Russia for ends like these may still increase l

So, Princess, have I met thee on the sea,

With greeting verse that speaks our love of thee,

But, treating firmly of a graver theme,

Spares one true thought from a romantic dream.

Come, Lady, with thy Husband l We will pray
For him and thee, and for the Mothcr-Qucea,

Both yours and ours, that many a happy day
Shed on your palaces its light serene.

As for thy Sister, Alexandra, when
The elder Prince, our chief of British men.

Our King that shall be, took her by the hand,

A joyful cry of blessing filled onr Laud !

SKETCHES OF ST. PETERSBURG.

When our Special Artist, five or six weeks ago, wa3 in the
capital of tho Russian Empire awaiting the marriage of liri
Royal Highness the Duke ol Edinburgh to the Graud Dachess
Marie, his busy pencil found a variety of incidental subjects
amongst the population of that city. A page or two of these
sketches of different class types may be entertaining to the
large number of English readers who have not yet visited
St. Petersburg, and their truthfulness will certainly be acknow¬
ledged by those who may chance to have done so. In tho
popular cheap markets, not tho Gostinnoi Dvor, which is
for customers w ith fuller purses, but tho Apraxin Rinok and
the Tshukin Dvor, and the crowded area of tho Seunain
IT os chad, one may study the aspect and habits of plebeian life,
bo well described by the German writer, J. G. Kohl, often
quoted ui Murray's Handbook. These picturesque though
sordid details of a foreign metropolis are quite worthy of atten¬
tion, when one has seen enough of vast and stately palaces, or
solemn, tuperb, and gorgeously decorated churches. The
fnovjik —that J8 to say, the servile and labouring Russian (as
the social respectability of free labour* is there unrecognised)—
is a very good sort oi fellow, and so is his brother or cousin,
the rural peasant. These “ black people," uncouth and rough
in their outside garb and figures, have yet much good-humour,
patient endurance, and fidelity, with other virtues not
too common anywhere in tho world. Costermongers, as
wc should call them in London, fill several compart¬
ments of our page of Engravings this week. The streets of
fct. Petersburg, as of other European cities, resound with the
cries of walking fish-venders, orange-venders, women selling
woollen stockings and other hosiery, boyB w ho want you to
buy a box of matches, and other itinerant pedlars of diverse
potty trades. There is a great difference, indeed, according to
the season and time of year, in the nature of their com¬
modities and their way of soliciting custom. The winter cold
at St. Petersburg is not to be trifled with by stauding about to
haggle over- a purchase of two kopecks. Of this we need little
more testimony if we but glance at the huge and thick
wrappings, the eaxies and hoods lined witli fur, in the dress of
those worthy citizens grouped in the centre of the page. Beneath
them is the portrait of a gentle man whose whole soul is intent ou
preserving the warmth of his body, with an atmospheric tem¬
perature of 30 degrees below the freezing point.

The Marquis of Salisbury has been unanimously elected to

THE LATE MR. SHIRLEY BROOKS.

The lamented death, on Monday week, of this accomplished and
amiable man of letters, who had been many years connected
with the Illustrated London News, was briefly recorded iu our
last. He was interred on Saturday in the Kensal-green Ceme¬
tery, in the presence of a few' of his many* attached personal
friends. One of these, an old colleague of Shirley Brooks in
that familiar journal of harmless wit and wholesome fun, over
which our late contributor had recently presided, has furnished
us with the following notice to accomjuiuy our engraving of his
portrait :—

“ The Silver Cord ” is broken ! and near the graves of Leech
and Thackeray, with whom he was so long and so pleasantly
associated in life, lies the second editor of Punch, Shirley Brooks.
It seems now to the writer of this memoir a strange and rather
formal way of mentioning his friend to put those two names in
conjunction. He who is gone from us was to us so recently
only “Shirley !" Indeed, we, his intimates, only spoke of him,

only addressed him, as “Shirley.” But henceforth, till Time
the Consoler shall have done his work, w r e shall be speaking of
him, no doubt, as we spsak with fond reverence of the dead.
How liaTd it will yet be for us to realise, oven in accustoming
our ears to the words “ Poor Shirley I ” that ho is no longer
bodily in our midst I

When the present writer first knew him, the names of
Douglas Jerrolcl and Gilbert a Beckett had been added some
time before to the death-roll of our English humourists. But
at the Punch dinner, at Messrs. Bradbuiy aud Evans', still
gathered round Mark Lemon’s presidential chair, were
Thackeray, Jolm Leech, Tom Taylor, Shirley Brooks, John
Teuniel, Percival Leigh, Charles Keene, and Horace May hew.
Out of these Shirley w as Marks right-hand man and trusty
counsellor. It would happen, nine times out of teu, that the
original suggestion for the cartoon of the following week
emanated from Shirley. Then the idea was taken up, aud was
tossed from one to the other, until it arrived at the shape iu
which it was to be preseuted to tho public ; aud in this process
fcliirley was invaluable. Among his fellow-workers Shirley’s
habit of throwing dowu his dessert-knife when the work was
done and the cartoon settled became proverbiah Not until
that dessert-knife of Shirley's had rattled on the board did
Mark Lemon lean back and proclaim that now the “sweetest
morsel of the night” had arrived, when tho contributors were
to proceed “ from labour to refreshment.”

►Shirley Brooks was one of the few literary men in our time
w ho have cultivated letter-w riting as an art. His correspon¬
dence must have beeu enormous. Ho used to say that anyone
could find time to write a letter. He modelled his epistolary
style on that of Horace Walpole. Throughout two sheets of
letter-paper, closely ami legibly written, he would chat on the
news of the day, on social topics, and ou personal matters most
tauntingly. His letters were eminently readable; not the shortest
of them but had some epigram well worth preservation.

He wrote rapidly and Without effort. Ilia memory was pro¬
digious, and his power of happily applying quotations to the
incident of tire moment was a matter oF constant admiration,
even to those w ho were necessarily brought into almost daily
intercourse with him. He seemed to read everything, an l,
w hat is more, could make use of anything.

►Shirley Brooks was undoubtedly a brilliant epigrammatist,
but in spite of an affectation of cynicism—which, after all,
hurt no one—Ire was at all tiroes and in auy company a genial
mid excellent companion. H ever there was a man who in his
heart of hearts w F a> ml a cynic, it was Shirley Brooks. Wit¬
ness his genuine affection for liis friends, aud their grief for him
whom death lias taken from among them. Witness, too, his
fondness for children. How, on a summer afternoon, he would
gather them around him, and read the awful poem of “ Tho
Jabberwock and -interest them thoroughly in “ Alice’s Ad¬
ventures in Wonderland!” “Read to children first,” housed to
say, “arid they will enjoy for themselves afterwards.” His
Lttie audience were always delighted with his reading. He
kept, too, a safe nook in his memory for everybody's birthday,
and he used to delight in sending to ladies and little girls somo
little picture, w ith an epigram or a couplet written beneath it,
and signed “ fc. B.,” with the usual Many happy returns ! ”

Few who met him would have believed Shirley Brooks to
have been juBt on sixty. The last thingone would have accused
him of was an approach to old age. He was really young;
ard, in spite of the grey hairs, he loolrd young. Yet he was,
in length of years, on the border of sixty. Let us now pass to
a very slight notice of his works.

At the commencement of his literary career he wrote bur¬
lesques, generally in collaboration wdth others. Tho dialogue
in Shirley’s plays has ever been more or less brilliant, never
commonplace. His “ Creolo,’’ especially, is a good piece,
in plot and situation as well as iu dialogue. He was fond of
alluding to these early burlesques, which he used playfully to
represent as masterpieces by an author whose name he had
forgotten. “They were written,” he said, “w r hen people
could write burlesques, and other people could act them. ” His
last effort in this direction was “Timour the Tartar," which
he wrote in conjunction with Mr. Oxenford, during Mr.
Robson's management at the Olympic.

Before 1854 lie w rote, with Angus B. Reach, Albert Smith,
and Robert Brough, in the Man in the Moon ; but that year
began his connection with Punch. Of his writings in Punch,
tire best known to the public is, perhaps^ his “ Essence of Par¬
liament.” As a pointed, satirical summary of the debates of the
week, it ia simply inimitable. For this he was specially qualified
by his long apprenticeship in the reporters’ gallery, and by his
w or k on the Morning Chronicle.

There is not space here to dwell upon his performances as
a clever novelist. A short time before his death he hail under¬
taken to write a history of Loicester-square—that is, of the
historic notabilities who have lived there, it would have been
to Shirley a most congenial work, for he loved the Georgian era,
its nien and its literature. This work will be undertaken by
Other hands.

To the public Shirley Brooks leaves the legacy of his literary
labours—his plays, his novels, and abundance of his wit, both
in verse and prose, in the pages of twenty-two volumes of
Punch. But to ue, his friends, “ Dear old Shirley " leaves a legacy
oi pleasant memories, of kind words, and of loving deeds. To
ue, indeed, w ho really knew him so well, remain the many
sweet souvenirs of a long, sincere, and unbroken friendship—
unbroken, let us humblyliope, even by the grave. With these
in cur minds will ever be associated the recollection of ths
handsome face, the youthful manner, the playful, brilliant wit,
and the genial humour of him whom we loved, but whose
tongue and pen are now* at rest for ever, our friend anil fellow-
labourer, Shirley Brooks.

We cordially adopt and repeat tho above expressions of per¬
sonal regard, to which, if it were needful, we could add that of
a high appreciation of Shirley Brooks’ literary tact and skill,
his unfailing good taste, and pleasant manner of writing. But
the readers of this Journal have long been accustomed to enjoy
these graces of our late contributor, in “ By the Way," and
the precedirg series of “Nothing in tho Papers.’’ Ho also,
before assuming tire editorial chair at tho Punch office, wrote
for the Jllvsti aud London News a weekly article on the political
topics of the day.

It may here be stated that CLarles Shirley Brooks—his full
nr me— w as born in 1815, being son of the eminent-architect,
William Brcoks. He was educated at a City public school, ami
was articled to a solicitor, but left that profession for the work
of a newspaper reporter, from which, like Charles Dickens, he
passed by au easy transition to light literature and to the com¬
position of plays and novels. He was sent by the Morning
< I re nick to examine and describe the condition of the peasantry
in the fcouth of Russia, after the repeal of our com laws, and
liia letters were reprinted in a separate volume. His best
rovelsare “Aspen Court,” “The Gordian Knot,” and “The
•Silver Cord,” w hich have gone through several editions. Mr.
Shirley Brooks has left a widow and two sons. The Portrait
we give is from a photograph by Messrs. Elliott and Fry,

THE END OF THE TICHBORNE TRIAL.

THE CLAIMANT'S FARE WELL,

230

’HE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS

MARCH 7, 1874

THE END OF THE TICHBORNE TRIAL.

The enormously lengthy trial of Thomas *'astro, alias Arthur
Orton, the claimant of tliu Tichborne estates and title, for
perjury committed by him in the action of ejectment he brought
to obtain that property, was concluded in the Court of Queen's
Bench on Saturd ay last. This trial had been continued during
1S8 days’ sit.fcim»s of the Court; it began on April 23 of last
year. The former trial in the Court of Common PI as, occupied
103 court »lays—having been commenced on May 10,1871, before
Chief Justice Bovill, aud finished on March G. 187*2, when the
plaintiff was nonsuited.

The result of the whole case is the conviction of the defendant
on all the charges in the indictment for perjury, and his sen¬
tence to fourteen years’ penal servitude—that is, to seven years’
penal servitude for each of two different acts of perjury. There
were two distinct counts in the indictment, each constituting
in effect a different indictment—the first founded upon the
statements of the defendant in his examination at the trial, the
second on his affidavit in Chancery in 1S6S. The first count
contains about twenty-four distinct charges of perjury, twelve
of them on the Tichborne part of the case and twelve on the
Orton part of the case.

The charges on the Tichborne part of the case are these :—
(1) His statements that he was Roger Tichborne, (2) that he
lived in Paris until 1845, (3) that Chatillon was his tutor, (4) that
in 1845 he came to England to attend his uncle’s funeral, (5)
that he had been a student at Stouyhurst, (6) that he had been
an officer in the Army, (7) that in July or August, 1S52, he saw
Miss Doughty, (8) that in those months he had seduced her,
(9) that he had after June 22 of that year last seen her, (10)
that he saw Miss Hales in the company of her mother at Can¬
terbury, (11) that he had been at Bilton Grange, the seat of Mr.
and Mrs. Washington Hibbert, (12) that he had not been to
Lloyd’s Rooms.

There were ten charges of perjury on the defendant’s state¬
ments in the affidavit as to his being Roger Tichborne, similar
to those in his oral evidence, adding these :—That (8) in March,
1853. he took his passage to Valparaiso and in due course
arrived there ; (9) that from that time to April, 1854, he tra¬
velled in South America; (10) that in April, 1854, he took his
passage at Rio in the Bella for New York.

The charges as to the Orton case are that he falsely
swore :—(1) That he is not Arthur Orton, (2) that he never was
at Wapping before 1866, (3) that he never went by the name
of Arthur Orton. (4) that he did not leave England in the
Oceau in April, 1848, (5) and did not arrive at Valparaiso in
November, 1848, (6) that he was not at Melipilla, in Chili,
between 1S4S and 1851, (7) that he did not in 1851 come back
from Chili to England iu the Jessie Miller, (8) that he had not
seen Mary Anne Loder before 1S67 and did not keep company
with her in 1851, (9) and that he had never written letters to
her, (10) that he did not in 1852 go to Hobart-town in the Mid¬
dleton, (11) that he had not seen Orton’s sisters more than once
before the trial, (12) that he had been charged at Castlemaine
with horse-stealing in company with Arthur Orton.

These charges of perjury, upwards of thirty in number,
though committed upon two distinct occasions, all those com¬
mitted upon each occasion constituting in law a distinct count,
resolved themselves really into these three—the statement that
he was Roger Tichborne, the denial that he was Arthur Orton,
and the story of the seduction of Miss Doughty (now .Lady
Radcliffe). * *

The Lord Chief Justice, Sir Alexander Cockbum, in his
exhaustive charge, which has taken eighteen entire days, has
fully treated every part of the case. Having commented upon
all the details of the evidence, his Lordship on Saturday morn¬
ing said, in conclusion, that the jury must consider whether all
these facts, converging to the same conclusion, did or did not
bring home to their minds the conviction of the defendant’s
guilt. Ho was entitled certainly to the benefit of a doubt;
but then it must be a reasonable doubt, and not one which
was vain and fantastic. And if their minds had no real, sub¬
stantial doubt, they must not shrink from acting according to
their conscientious convictions; undeterred by those improper
appeals which had been made by the defendant’s counsel to
popular prejudices or passion. The Judges, said the Lord
< fine! Justice, had been denounced in such terms as had never
v t been us d by an advocate in addressing an English Court.
Kut he could afford to disregard those attacks ; he had done
his duty conscientiously, and he now left it to the jury to do
theirs.

other Judges, Mr. Justice Mellor and Mr Justice
Lush, briefly expressed their eutiro concurrence in what had
fallen from the Lord Chief Justice, and the jury then—about
noon—retired to consider t-eir verdict.

The jury were absent less than half au hour, aud on their
return into court the foreman, in a firm tone, declared that
they found the defendant guilty, and he thou real from a
paper their written findim s— (1) that the defend ant is not Roger
Tichborne, (2) that he is Arthur Orton, and (3) that lie did not
seduce Miss Doughty.

The jury added that there was no foundation for the sug¬
gestion that there had ever been any improper familiarities
between Roger Tichnome and his cousin, and they further
appended to their verdict the expression of their regret that
the prisoners counsel should have indulged in groundless
accusations against those concerned for the prosecution, and
against certain witnesses for the prosecution.

Mr. Justice Mellor then proceeded to pass sentence upon tho
prisoner, declaring the entire concurrence of the Judges with
the verdict of the jury, dwelling upon the heinous nature of his
crime, not only in the gross imposture lie had attempted in
order to rob an infant of his inheritance, but in the infamous
perjuries by which lie had supported his imposture, and t
cmdly the foul and al>ominabJe perjury by which he Rid sought
to blast the character of I*ady Radclifib. After declaring that
the sentence to be passed was quite inadequate to meet iho
enormity of the crime, the learned Judge sentenced him on
each of the two counts to seven years’ penal servitude, malriiw
together rourteen years’ penal servitude.

The defendant, w ! ho had stood at the bar to receive the sen¬
tence, now asked whether he might be allowed to say a few
words. The Lord Chief Justice replied “No ; certainly uof
The defendant then shook hands with his principal connm l,
Dr. Keuealj r , aud was immediately removed from the court in
the cufttody of Mr. Frayling, jum, the tipstaff. Ho had ' as
moou as the jury came in with their verdict, handed his g.Jff
watch and chain to young Bogle, one of his i>arti8ans and wit¬
nesses, to save them from being taken from him as a convict
prisoner.

On leaving the court he was taken into a room which had
been u?ed as a waiting-room for witnesses. Here ho was
sm irched, and then taken out of the court by tho doors in
Westaunster Hall, ntrirly opposite the members’ entrance to
the House of Common ,. He was in custody of Mr. Super¬
intendent Mott, accompanied by C'nlonel Henderson, Colonel
Pearson, and Inspect or Dcmiing. There were loungers about
the hall mi l a crowd watching that entrance to the court where
the nublic have hitherto sought for admission. When they
Caught flight of tie prisoners well-known form iu custody they

made a rush to the door of the House of Commons, but a strong
body of police was stationed there and kept the crowd from
following. The prisoner was taken through the corridors and
lobbies of the House of Lords across the courtyard to the foot
of the Victoria Tower, where he was placed in the jiolice
omnibus—a long, dark-painted vehicle, with whitewashed
windows, in which prisoners are taken round to be identified
when questions arise as to former convictions. The crowd
lingered about the precincts of the ball aud courts for more
than an hour, apparently in the belief that the prisoner was
still in the building, but as the police were withdrawn the
crowd gradually melted away. From the Victoria Tower
entrance the prisoner was driven over Lambeth Bridge, along
iStamfovd-street, aud finally lodged in Newgate about half-past
one in the afternoon. He was placed in the same cell that he
occupied in March and April, 1872, when Chief Justice Bovill
committed him for trial. He now wears the prison dress, has
the prison diet, and is employed in picking oakum.

ROYAL INSTITUTION LECTURES.

ELEMENTS OF VEGETABLE LIFE.

Professor W. C. Williamson, F.R.S., of Owens College, Man¬
chester, gave the first of a course of five lectures on Cryptogamic
Vegetation on Thursday week. In his introductory remarks
upon the distinction between phanerogamous plants, such as
have conspicuous ilowers, and cryptogamous plants (including
ferns, mosses, lichens, and fungi), which are flowerless, he
characterised the former as being mainly formed upon one
archetype, while the latter consists of a number of groups of won¬
derful diversity ; nevertheless, he said, a close and harmonious
relationship has been discovered between the phanerogamia
and cryptogamia. He next commented on tho elements of all
vegetable structure, beginning with the cell, composed of pro¬
toplasm — a compound of oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, and
carbon—and an outer covering, termed the “ primordial utricle ”
by Arthur Heufrey. After explaining the “cell theory” of
Schwann and Schleiden, which supposed the cell to be indi¬
visible, he referred to the researches of Huxley, who proved it
to be, on the contrary, infinitely subdivisible ; and also de¬
scribed the modes of cell-reproduction by fissure aud by
budding. The structure of vessels and fibres was then de¬
scribed. The question of the spontaneous generation of bacteria,
the subject of the researches of Pasteur, Bastion, and others,
the Professor considered to be still involved in doubt. After
commenting on the important microscopic researches of Eliren-
berg, and highly commending that philosopher’s nomenclature,
the Professor pointed out His physiological error in considering
certain infusorial plants to be animtds, and, as an example,
referred to the protococcus pluvialis, which at an early stage in
its life possesses locomotive organs, yet is undoubtedly a plant.
In conclusion, he described palmeUre or red snow, found in
Arctic and Alpine regions, and its allies, which consist of
vegetable cells containing coloured protoplasm, analogous to

Mr. Francis Gal ton, F.R.S., gave a discourse, at the Friday
evening meeting, Feb. 27, on the qualities which characterise
the English men of scienco of the present day. He eschewed
the possibility of defining and measuring the amount of any of
those qualities, and concluded by summarising the opinions of
these men on the merits and demerits of their own education,
and giving his own interpretation of what, according to their own
showing, they would have preferred. His data were obtained
from a large collection of autobiographical notes, most obligingly
communicated to him in responso to his requests, from the
larger part of the leading members of the scientific world. He
had addressed 180, who, being Fellows of the Royal Society,
had, in addition, gained medals or filled posts of recognised
scientific position ; and had received 115 replies, of which
eighty or ninety were full and minute answers to his Jong and
varied series of questions. He dealt with only a small part of
this valuable material, referring to a forthcoming work for the
rest. As regards the chief qualities, in the order of their pre¬
valence among the scientific men, they were—1, Energy both
of mind and body ; 2, Good health; 3, Great independence of
character; 4, 1’enacitv of purpose ; 5, Practical business
habits; and, 0, what was usually the salt of the whole,
strong innate tastes for science generally or for some branch
of it. He illustrated his remarks by reading many anonymous
extracts from the returns, and explained in what way
a notable deficiency in any of the above - mentioned
qualities would tend to disqualify a man from succeeding in
science. As to the measurement of qualities, it was argued
that tho law of constancy in vital statistics might be taken for
granted, being evidenced by the experience of insurance offices,
ai way8 with the proviso that the facts are gathered witb dis¬
cretion on well-known general principles. After elucidating
this by experiments and diagrams, Mr. Galton said that the
habit should be. encouraged in biographies of giving copious
illustrations, which would tend to rank a man among his con¬
temporaries in respect of every quality that is discussed, in
order to give data for appraising those qualities in terms of the
statistical scale. By a general system of measurement, social
and political, science avould be greatly raised in precision. As
regards education, he disavowed speaking of that which is
sin table to boys generally, but summarised the replies of the

for different ages ; and that there is one line of though
apparent throughout the Gospels which harmonised
Mohammed’s view of them. In regard to Fatalism, it ia ia
possible in any religion to reconcile the conflicting dogmas J
predestination and free-will, most creeds asserting the one in
words, the other in acts. Mohammed, on the whole, even in
the Koran, inclined to free-will, and his views of prayer were
quite inconsistent with absolute predestination. The
doctrine lias opposite effects on different natures, or in even tfo
same natures in different circumstances. On the question of

Mohammed at once a smaller and a greater man than he would
otherwise have been. In reference to the attitude of the
spiritual to the temporal power in Eastern aud Western
Christendom, allusion w*as made to the temporary advantage
enjoyed by the Caliphs in the combination of the two in their
hands. Never in tho history of the world had there been mb
an exhibition of religious enthusiasm ; and though the Arabs
were semi barbarians in their conquests, they were not bar¬
barous : they sowed the seeds of literature, of science, and of
civilisation wherever they went. Aholv war waged by Christiana
is in direct contravention of the spirit of their Founder; but,
historically speaking, the contrast lie tween the practice of the
rival creeds is not sharp. Of the religious wars which the
world has seen, the Mohammedan w'ere not the worst in their
object, in their methods, or in their results. The subject d
the fourth aud concluding lecture will be an estimate of tho
good and evil which the world owes to Mohsmmtxl, ji survey
of tho condition and prospects of Mohammedanism now, the
historic connection between it aud Christianity, its points of
difference as well as of resemblance, and, finally, how that
connection ought to be regarded by Christians, and under what
modifications the two creeds may work together for the good
of humanity.

THE AKOHI31EPEAN TJUSCtPLR.

Professor Tymlall, D.C.L., F.li.S., began his third lecture
on the Physical Properties of Liquids and Gases, on Tucsdir
last, with a train of reasoning and experiments intended U
demonstrate the truth of the principle of Archimedes, tbn
“ a body floating on a liquid or freely immersed in ifc loses a
part of its weight equal to the weight of the liquid which it
displaces.” This principle, the Professor said, might beabo
thus expressed A body wholly immersed in a liquid i»
attracted towards the earth by a force equal to the difference
of the attractions exerted upon the body and the liquid. Sup¬
posing, for example, that a body weighs 10 lb., and that an
equal bulk of -water weighs 81b. In the liquid ifc will be
attracted downwards with a force of 2 lb. If, on the contrary,
the body be 81b.; and an equal bulk of liquid 10 lb., then the
difference of 2 lb. would be a negative attraction, or, in other
words, a repul*ion ; and the body, instead of Kinking, woflM
rise in the liquid, as if it had been repelled from the earth.
The Professor then illustrated the operation of this principle in
magnetism. By means of the electric lamp aud a screen,*
suspended globule of a magnetic liquid (protosulpbate of >
surrounded by water, was shown to be attracted by the elects*
magnet, but repelled when surrounded by a stronger solution
of the protosulphate. After remarking that a solid pW
in an upright cylinder is supported wholly by the base vi
the cylinder, and that it presses upon that base with *
force equal to its weight, the Professor showed that the case ii
changed w hen a liquid is placed within the cylinder, since hw
tho sides, as well as the base, bear tho pressure. Be
quoted. Pascal, who says (in 1653), “ If a vessel full of water
closed on all sides have two openings, the one a hundred tfa 3
as large as the other, and if each be supplied with s pistol
which fits exactly, a man pushing the small piston will cs# 1
force which will equilibrate that of a hundred men pushing**
piston which is a hundred times as large, and will overcuP
that of ninety-nine; and whatever inav Iki the proportion**
Lhc.s(» openings, if the forces applied to the pistons he to
nt’m I as the openings, they will be in equilibrium. . . * ^
thus it appears that a vessel full of water is a new principh !n
mechanics, and a new* machine, which will multiply force to &!
degree we oliooae.” This principle having been fuflyilltflff"

PROPAGATION OF DISEASE THROUGH THE AIR.

Jectures at the Royal Institution have been usually reported »

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS

231

MARCH 7, 1874

lecture on Respiration (inserted in our Number for Feb. 14,
mco 1G2) contains some errors. He did not say that the ‘air
contains living ammbiform particles of protoplasm resemfihnq
the spores of fungi and the minute animalcules named
bacteria;” nor did he say “that by the passage of these
through the air disease may be propagated ; nor that the
oropagation of fevers and other diseases is now attributed to
poison in the form of particles of bacterial protoplasm carried
through the atmosphere.” He Baid that, if the air of au ordi¬
nary room be drawn through an aeroscope, so that its suspended
n irticles may be collected, or if its moisture be condensed upon
the perfectly-cleaned exterior of a glass vessel containing ice,
an examination with the microscope reveals the presence of a
meat quantity of bodies—e.g., particles of sand, carbon, cotton,
wool fir-wood, starch, and such like, together with spores of
fuud and particles of protoplasm which present amodnform
movements. Nothing is known regarding the nature of these
amceboid particles ; but it is probable that some of them are
the germs of iufusoria—e.g., bacteria. In considering the
propagation of disease through the air he stated that
it is definitely known that certain skin diseases

are due to tho growth of fungi, and the spores
of these fungi may be carried through the air and
mvo rise to the disease in other individuals. He then
passed from this tangible case to that of the putrefaction of
meat, which is accompanied by an active growth of bacteria.
Possibly the decomposition is produced by the growth of the
bacterial protoplasm. If a piece of fresh meat be hung in a
confined atmosphere near a piece of decomposing meat, it
racidly putrefies. This is most probably due to the contamina¬
tion of tho air with bacterial germs, the nature of which is
unknown. Probahly, however, they are fragments of the
bacterial protoplasm. Vaccine lymph was then considered.
The peculiar properties of this fluid appear to be due to its con¬
taining amoeboid particles of protoplasm. Cinder suitable
conditions these vaccine germs can grow and multiply. It was
then shown that the smallpox poison can pass through the air :
and reference was made to the well-known experiment m which
an animal was seized by smallpox after having breathed the air
transmitted through a garment winch had been worn by a
person suffering from this disease. The nature of the poison is
unknown ; but it is probably a solid substance, for it clings
tenaciously to clothes, paper, and similar substances. Perhaps
it consists of protoplasts allied to those contained m vaccine
lymph The poison of various fevers, influenza, whooping-cough,
cattle plague, and some other diseases can pass through the air,
but the nature of the poison is entirely unknown.

A prominent feature at the concert now referred to was Mr.
Franklin Taylor’s refined performance of Beethoven’s piano¬
forte concerto in G (No. 4), with the composer’s cadenzas.
Weber’s overture to “ Der FreiscliUtz” (encored) and Beet¬
hoven’s to “ Fidelio,” and several vocal pieces, charmingly sung
by Miss Rose Hersee, completed the programme.

At the Popular Concert of Monday last Herr Joachim was
again the leading violinist, and his grand style and tone and
lngh executive skill were heard to special advantage in one of
the greatest of the quartets of Beethoven—that in C sharp
minor, which stands as No. 14 in the list of these works. I he
other executauts in this and in Haydn’s quartet in G, from
op. 04, were Mr. L. Ries, Herr .Straus, and Signor Piatti. Mr.
Edward Han u rent her played with much effect the third of
Schumann’s sonatas for piano solo (in G minor), and he and
Herr Joachim were associated in the first of Bach’s sonatas for
piuno and violin. Mr. Bentham was tho vocalist, and Mr.
Zerbini the accompanist.

Mozart’s “ Cosi fan tutte” was performed at St. James’s
Theatre, on Monday night, for the oenefit of Signor Monari-
Rocca. This charming work—almost worthy of comparison
with tho more familiar “ Le Nozze di Figaro”—was revived
(after a long interval) during the winter season of Italian opera
at St. George’s Hall, Langham-place, in January last year,
when, as again on Monday, Signor Monari-llocca appeared in
the character of Don Alfonso, and Signor Mottino as Guglielmo;
other features of the cast having been changed as follow :—
Fiordiligi, Madame Elena Coram ; Dorabella, MdPe. Ribera ;
Despina, Madame Marini; and Ferrando, Signor Ramaccini.
Some portions of the opera (especially in the concerted pieces)
wero given with much effect, others might be improved by
repetition. A prominent feature in the performance was the
excellence of the orchestra, which consisted of some of the best
members of our opera bands, with Hen* Pollitzer as leading
violinist, and Signor Fiori as conductor, as at the revival of the
opera already referred to.

The second of Mr. Coenen’s chamber concerts took place at
| the Hanover*square Rooms on Wednesday evening, wheu^hia
programme comprised Miss Agnes Zimmermann’s “ Suite' for
piano, violin, and violoncello; and a similar piece, by M.
Saint* Saens for violoncello and piano ; the selection having
concluded with an otetto for stringed instruments by Herr J.
Svendsen, a Norwegian composer.

The third of M. Gounod’s new series of concerts is to take
place this (Saturday) evening, when several of his compositions
are to be performed, including some pieces from the successful
“Jeanne d'Arc ” music already noticed.

MUSIC.

From Mr. Mapleson’s prospectus of the season of Her Majesty’s
Opera, to commence at Dntry-Lane Theatre on the 17th inst.,
weleara that Mesdarae* Christine Nilsson and Trebelli-Bettiui,
Mdllos Titiens, Alwina Valleria, Marie Kozo, Bauermeister,
‘and Justine Macvitz will reappear—two new prima-donnaa
having been gained by tho engagement oi Mdlh*. Wi and
Singefli, of whom report speaks highly. Other hrst appear¬
ances will be made by Signori Paladim and Kamini. tenors ;
Signori Do"Iteschi and Galassi, baritones ; Signon Perkins and
Costa and Herr Behrens, basses. In the three last-named
divisions we find again the more or ess well-known mimes of
Signori Campanini. Nandin, Fancelh, Marohetti, Rinaldiiii,
Kabrini. Agnesi. Kota, Borella, CampobeUo, Catalani, Zoboli,
and Casaboni. Balfe’s posthumous opera, “H Talismano,’ is
to be positively produced this season, with Madame Christine
Nilsson in the principal female character, as promised lost year,
but unavoidably postponed. The same great smger will be again
heard as Desdemona in Rossini’s “ Otello,” as revived at this
establishment in 1870. Mdlle. Titiens is to appear as Elvira in
a revival of Verdi’s “Ernnni”and as Queen Elizabeth in
Donizetti's “Roberto Devereux,” which opera lias not been
criven in England for nearly thirty years. Italian versions of
Auber’s “ Fra Diavolo ” and “ The Crow n Diamonds ” are to
be produced— the former with Mdlle. Lodi as Zerlina, the
latter with Mdlle. Singelli as Caterina. Besides these works,
selections will be made from the already large repertoire of the
establishment Sir M. Costa continues as musical director and
conductor, and M. Sainton as first violin and soloist. The
pitch is this year to be lowered to the Trench standard—
** lc diapason normal.”

The eighteenth series of Saturday afternoon concerts at the
Crystal Palace has now reached the same number of perform¬
ances. The programme of Saturday last included a new sym¬
phony by Mr. Ebenezcr Prout, which was given for the first
time. An organ concerto (with orchestral accompaniments)
by the same composer was produced with much success at one
of these concerts in 1872, as recorded at the time. Mr. Pront’s
new work is divided into four movements—an allegro, preceded
by a short introduction, a largo expressivo, minuet and trio,
and finale—in each of which there is much masterly writing, in
the treatment of some effective themes; the instrumentation
being rich, sonorous, and varied. Tho symphony was very
favourably received, and Mr. Prout appeared on the platform
in acknowledgment. In Beethoven’s fourth pianoforte concerto
(in G) Mias Emma Barnett achieved a great success. This
vounc lady is a sister of Mr. J. F. Barnett, composer of the
cantata. “The Ancient Mariner ;” the oratorio, “The Raising
of Lazarus,” and other elaborate works; and the cadenzas intro¬
duced into the concerto on Saturday were written by him.
Miss Barnett’s performance was alike admirable m mechanism
and style, the excellence of her rhythmical phrasing being re¬
markable in so young a player She was greatly applauded
and recalled. The overtures to “ Anacreon and Masamello,
and vocal solos by Madame Lemmens-Sherrington and Mr.
Bentham, completed the selection. At this week’s concert
Beethoven’s music to “ Egmont ” is to be given, and the pro¬
gramme also includes the performance (for the first time m
England) of Brahms’s variations, for orchestra, on a theme by
Haydn.

At the British Orchestral Society’s third concert—on
Thursday week—the symphony was Spohr’s No. 4, the most
elaborate of his nine works of the kiud. Written in i! us-
tratioD of Carl Pfeiffer’* “ Die Welhe der Tone (“ The.Con¬
secration of Sound it can scarcely be held to have fulfilled
the ambitious design of realising in music the subtle meta¬
physical emotions suggested by the poem : while, at the same
time, it is largely characterised by grace and beauty, and in
some instances i.y majesty and grandeur. In the former
respects may bo cited the first allegro, the cradlesong, and
the dance; the march, aud the movement introducing the
Ambrosian chorale being full of masterly power. It was given
with much effect by the fine band of the society, although the
tempo was generally taken too slow by Mr. Mount, the con¬
ductor, the same characteristic being his usual tendency. A
new overture, by Mr. Alfred Holmes, was introduced at this
concert. It belong* to a grand opera, “Inezde Castro,” and
displays merits ana qualities somewhat similar to those of hia
overture to “Le Cid,” performed at the Crystal Palace, and
noticed by us last week. Like that, it was well received, the
composer in this instance having appeared in acknowledgment.

The third season of the Royal Albert Hall Choral Society is
now nearly completed, all but one of the series of subscription
concertshaving taken place. On Thursday “St. Paul’ was
given—the principal singers announced having been Madame
Ofcto-Alvsleben, Miss Sterling, Mr. Lewis Thomas, Mr. Smith,
and Mr. Pyatt. At tho last concert, on March 10, Mr. Arthur
Sullivan’s oratorio, “ The Light of the World,” ia to be per¬
formed for the first time in London.

THEATRES.

It is gratifying to be able to record that great improvement has
taken place in the performance, at the Princess’s, of Mr. Wills’s
“Mary Queen of Scots.” The performers, having become
familiar with tho text, partake nightly more and more of its
poetic spirit, and deliver it with an increasing degree of vital
force. There are, indeed, peculiarities in Mr. Wills’s blank
verse, and sometimes liberties which vergG on licence, arising,
we believe, from the author's anxiety to throw variety into its
music.

Miss Marriott has again made her appearance on the
London boards, and has acted at Sadler’s Wells the parts of
Romeo, Julia, and Margaret Elmore. For the present week
she has assumed her favourite part of Jeannie Deans, in which
she has been assisted by Miss Mars ton Leigh as Elbe.

The Shakspcarean revival at the Olympic has prospered well,
and Miss Fowler has gained now laurels as Beatrice iu “Much
Ado about Nothing.” Mr. Righton’s Dogberry also merits
much commendation. The actor liimself gave his name to a
piece produced on Saturday under the title of “Mr. High ton’s
Adveutures with a Russian Princess.’’ The reader will recol¬
lect a similar piece some time ago with Mr. BnckstoDe’s name
prefixed; and the preseut is a revival of Mr. Slingsby
Laurence’s topical farce, with the modifications mado requi*ite
or expedient by the lapse of time. The extravaganza
ia in the sliape of a dream, and the adventures are appro¬
priately fantastic. Miss Annie Taylor supported the part of
the Princess in a very graceful manner.

Mrs. John Wood has been compelled by other engagements
to withdraw from the representation of Mr. Reade’s now play
at the Queen’s. Tho part of Philippa is now sustained most
effectively by Miss Ellen Terry ; and the added novelty is likely
to give a fresh lease to the life of a wonderfully attractive
drama. Since its first production many alterations for the
better have been made in its dialogue and situations. Tho
one-act drama of “ Kate Peyton’s Lovers ” continues to precede
the performance of “The Wanderiug Heir.”

The Surrey Theatre has adopted Mr. Paul Merritt’s three*
act drama of “Rough and Ready,” and engaged Mr. and Mis.
Billington to support the loading characters, assisted by Miss
Ellen Meyrick. The niece, on the whole, is well mounted and
well acted, and is likely to please a transpontine audience.

The late Mr. T. W. Robertson’s adaptation of “ Les Amours
de Cl<k>patre,” entitled “A Breach of Promise,” has been
revived at the Royalty, with the advantage of Miss Maggie
Brennan in the character of the heroine, Honor Molloy. Tlie
tact, dash, and clever assumption of the actress carry through
the action with great dclat. The new play, “ Ought We to
Visit Her ? ” continues to attract.

Another version of the immortal Marplot, under the name
of Trumble, has been performed at the Gaiety. “ Une corneille
qui abat des noix ” has been very well and judiciously adapted
by Messrs. Oxenford and Hatton* under the title of “Too
Clever by Half ; ” aud nearly the whole strength of the com¬
pany is enlisted to support Mr. Toole in the principal character.
The' omission of one of the episodes in the original play evinces
the good taste of the adaptors.

Mr. Webster’s complimentary benefit at Drury Lane took
place, as announced, on Monday, when “The School for
Scandal ” was performed, with a strong cast—indeed, by the
very best member* of the profession, including Mr. Phelps, as
Sir Peter Teazle; Miss Helen Faucit, as Lady Teazle; Mrs.
Stirling, as Mrs. Candour; Mr. Creswick, as Joseph Surface;
Mr. S. Emery, as Uncle Oliver; Mr. Charles Mathews, as
Charles Surface ; Mr. Bnckstone, as Backbite ; Mr. Compton,
as Crabtree ; Mr. J. L. Toole, as Moses ; Mbs Isabel Bateman,
as Maria; and Messrs. J. Clarke, H. Wigan, D. James, L.
Brough, and J. Thome in the more miscellaneous characters.
Such a combination of talent is of rare occurrence. The perform¬
ance lasted from half-past one o’clock to a quarter past five. Mr.

Irving then recited Hood’s poem, “TheDream of LugeiTe Aram,
and was followed by Mr. Lialliday, the honorary secretary of
the benefit fund, announcing that the receipts h-d amounted
to £*2000. Mr. Charles Mathews thereupon contributed a
witticism. Be had calculated the ages of the performers en¬
gaged on the occasion and found that they amounted to 2(X)(>
years. A remarkable coincidence, eh? The curtain then drew
np, and Mrs. Keeley recited an address to Mr.Webster,written
by Mr. John Oxeuford, which told in rhyme the story of
the life of the great actor and manager. This story Mr. Webster
repeated in his reply, which, not in verse, was yet a compre¬
hensive repetition of the tale. Not before six o clock was the
important ceremony ended, aud then the curtain fell on one ot
the most interesting scenes in our experience.

THE FLAGSHIP AT SHEERNESS.

The dwellers along the lower Thames and Kentish shore are
looking out for the expected arrival, to-day, of the newly-married
Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, who will land at Gravesend, as
did tho fair Princess Alexandra of Denmark when she came to bo
our Princess of Wales, eleven years ago. The disembarkation
of their Royal Highnesses will be greeted by the firing of two
Royal salutes from three of her Majesty’s ships stationed in
Gravesend Reach. Admiral Hastings has considerately desired
the Mayor of Gravesend to give warning of this fact to the
householders in that town, and they are recommended to open
all their windows, lest the concussion of such heavy reports
should break some of the panes of glass. One of the ships by
which this double Royal salute is to be fired will be H.M.S.
Duncan, the Admiral’s flagship; and our Illustration of that
vessel is a token of the intended naval compliment. The Duncan
is an unannoured third-rate screw steam-skip of 5724 tons (old
measurement, 3727 tous) and of SOO-horse power, carrying an
armament of thirty guns. She is stationed at Sheerness, and
bears the Admiral’s flag.

GEOGRAPHY AND TRAVEL.

The war on the Gold Coast, which has now reached a satisfac¬
tory conclusion, gives to every new book descriptive of Africa
a more than ordinary chance of beiug read. Mr. Winwood
Reade, the Times' special correspondent in Sir Garnet Wolseley's
camp, is known as the author of a romantic narrative of his
personal adventures, some ten or twelve years ago, in what he
called “ Savage Africa,” more particularly in Lower Guinea,
where he lived awhile with the natives, and might have become
the husband of a negro Princess. He has both travelled and
studied the books of other travellers, and of the geographers
and historians, ancient or recent, who tell us of that wonderful
continent, still so imperfectly known. A mixed collection of
his sketches and commentaries, tilling two very readable
volumes, is now published, under the title of The African
Sketch-Book (Smith, Elder, and Co.) Some of the tales are
avowed fictions; but these may be assumed to have an illus¬
trative bearing on the facts observed and reported by those
who have, like Mr. Reade, visited the coasts of Guinea. As
mere stories, they have the merit of imaginative and dramatic
uower. “ Lagos Bar,” the tragedy of the young wife of a faith¬
less husband meeting her death in a fit of despair at that
dangerous port of English trading vessels, is told with touching
effect. “The French Commandant” has the same kind of
interest. We have also the stories of Solima and Ananga, the
one belonging to the Mussulman Foulahs of Soudan and the
Gambia, the other a maiden of Cazembe, near the region of
Dr. Livingstone's latest wanderings ; but her story is connected
with that of a Portuguese colonial adventurer. “ The History
of a Chameleon " is a satirical piece of supposed autobiography,
meant to show the unworthy character of some negro converts
under the patronage of English or American philanthropic
institutions. Butin “The Missionary” we have an example
of genuine religious enthusiasm setting itself to the difficult
task of an uncompromising Christian teacher and reformer
among savage tribes. “The Bleeding Heart” is the tale
of a modem Dutch hero of West African colonisation,
and of his domestic sorrows at home. These are the chief
articles of a fictitious or imaginative sort in Mr. Readers book.
Of his own African experiences he has also much that is new
to relate. Up the Gaboon river, into the land of gorillas and
the land of cannibals ; at St. Paul de Loanda, and in the ad¬
jacent province of Angola; at the French settlement of Assinie,
and in the exploration of a new inland route from Sierra Leone,
byway of Falaba, to the Niger and to the Boure gold-mines,
the author has travelled, gathering many details of useful and
curious knowledge. In the last-mentioned journey he seems to
have achieved a feat of real importance, which has scarcely yet
obtained its due share of notice. The remaining portions of
this “African Sketchbook” are principally made up of his¬
torical essays and summary reviews, taken from an extensive
reading of older books of travel. To give us a general view of
the local distribution of these sources of knowledge, a “ Map of
African Literature ” is here presented, in which the names of
all the travellers and authentic writers upon Africa are grouped
in print over those parts of the continent described by them.
The two volumes are furnished with several other maps and
with a number of pictorial wood engravings. “The African
Sketchbook ” is a miscellany which seems to contain something
for every taste not averse to the subject.

An original work of great importance, to which Mr.
Winwood Reade supplies a very short preface, is Dr. Schwein-
furth s Heart of Africa , translated by Miss Ellen Frewer (two
volumes, Sampson Low, Marston, and Searle). The author is
a learned German botanist, who passed three years, from July,
186S, to the summer or autumn of 1870, in exploring the
interior parts of Africa, west of the White Nile and north¬
west of Lake Albert Nyauza. Most of us have learnt, from
Sir Samuel Baker, Mr. Pefcherick, and other travellers, that
the White Nile, or Bahr el Abiad, which flows northward out
of that equatorial lake to join the Blue Nile of Abyssinia at
Khartoum, has many tributaries on its left bank or western
8 \^ e rm^ *^VT- S . e ^ 10 Vrincipal is the Bahr el Ghazol, which joins
the White Nile about nine degrees north of the Equator, and
near ^ the 30th degree of east longitude. Dr. Schwein-
furth s wanderings upon this occasion—he had been in
Nubia once before — were at first directed across the

S lains traversed by numerous streams that flow to the
ahr el Ghazelfrom the west and south-west, between the 26th
and 30fch degrees of longitude. These rivers, which are not yet
shown in ordinary maps, run through the Dyoor, the Bongo or
» i j Golo and Sehre countries, in the 7th and 8th degrees
of latitude. Dr. Schweinfurth afterwards, in 1870, made his
way further south, towards the unknown region behind Lake
Albert Nyanza, where high mountains have been seen from
afar. He there came upon the upper waters of a great river
taking a westward course, which is supposed to be the Kubanda
JJf . , l ,;ir th, and which may perhaps find its way to Lake
Iehad, under the name of Shary, if not to the Benue or
ichadda branch of the Niger. This is at present a mere
subject of conjecture ; but it appears certain that the Welle, a
stream 800 ft. wide and never less than 12 ft. or 15 ft. deep
thus much exceeding in size the Bahr el Ghazel, does not
belong to the Nile system at all. Its real destination must be
recognised as a geographical problem of high interest
as may lie seen by one glance at the vast blank space
that extends from Sir Samuel Baker’s lake to the coast
of Guinea. Readers acquainted with the history of African
diicovery up to this date will appreciate the value of
D \ Schweinfurth *s book, from the position only of the localities
he has explored Those who rather like views of wild scenery
and the costumes and manners of wild nations, or personal
adventures and dealings with barbarian hosts, and sometimes
with foes, or novelties in the species of plants and animals ob¬
served by a natural philosopher, will find an immense variety of
curious auccdote in these volumes. Could we have fancied a
people in the habit of mutually spitting upon each other bv
way of a friendly salutation and pledge of kindness? This
was the practice of the Dyoor people, but it is now going out
ol fashion. I lie Dmkas, an exclusively pastoral nation, also
have their characteristic ways. The Bongo, with whom Dr.
Schweinfurth lived two years, are made the subject of a com¬
plete description. We are introduced latterly to the Mittoo
and to the Niani-mam and the Monbuttoo nations, who have
some remarkable habits. The Ninm-niam are cannibals, and
serm akin to the Fans of Western Africa. Dr. Schweinfurth’s
artistic skill with the pencil has furnished a great numbor of
illustrations. There is an abundanee of these—views of places,
figures of men and women, of weapons, tools, and articles of
dress or furniture, and specimens of zoology and botany, all
which are exceedingly well drawn. Some of the human full-
length portraits, such as those of the fat Bongo woman
and the meagre Dmka woman standing together, show
the extreme contrasts of physical structure among the
different African races. In tiiis respect one of Dr. Schwein-
furth’s discoveries is particularly worthy of notice—that of an
unquestionable pigmy nation, called the Akka or Tikkitikki,
duelling south of the Monbuttoo, between the first and second
degrees of latitude north of the Line. Their average height is
4 ft. 10 in.; but they are skilful shooters with the bow and

arrows, like those of classic antiquity who used to make war on
the cranes. One of the little fellows, standing 4 it. 7 in., but
full grown, accompanied Dr. Schweinfurth on his return to
Khartoum and Berber. The author considers them, with the
Bushmen of South Africa and all those dwarf races of mankind,
to be the scattered remnants of a puny aboriginal race, now
becoming almost extinct throughout the continent. A subject of
much interest at the present time is that of the Central Atrican
slave trade, which Sir Samuel Baker and Colonel Gordon have been
commissioned by the Viceroy of Egypt to put down; and we have
just heard of a great battle, towards Darfoor, fought and won in
this cause. Dr. Schweinfurth, having been at Kordofan in the
winter of 1870, when the atrocious traffic was at its height, is
enabled to give us ample information concerning its practices.
They are certainly worse than any fancy could have imagined.
He offers a few practical sugges.ions for the purpose of stopping
the slave trade, which he does not think will be done by the
ruler of Egypt or by any Mussulman power. We commend liis
book, for entertainment and instructive information to the
attention of everyone who has followed with interest the still
recent journeys of Dr. Liviugstone and Sir Samuel Baker. Dr.
Schweinfurth merits the third place, next to our two countrymen
among the great modern explorers of Central Africa.

TWO NEW MEMBERS.

The portraits of two newly-elected members of the House of
Commons, who have never before had a seat in that Assembly,
now figure among our Illustrations. They belong to opposite
classes, but w*e do not say, to opposite interests, in the great
industrial community of the Nortu of England. One is a repre¬
sentative of Capital ; the other of Labour.

MR. C. M. PALMER, M.P.

Mr. Charles Mark Palmer, of Saltburn, Yorkshire, who is
returned for the northern division of the county of Durham, in
the Liberal interest, in the room of Mr. G. Elliot, is a son of
the late Mr. George Palmer, merchant and shipowner, of New-
castle-on-Tyne, by Maria Taylor, his wife. He was born in
the year 1822, and was educated at Newcastle and in Franco.
He is Lieutenant-Colon el of the 1st Durham Engineer Volun¬
teers, a magistrate for the North Riding of Yorkshire and for
the county of Durham, and extensively engaged in business as
a coalowner, shipbuilder, and iron-master. We have now and
then had occasion to speak of the great iron-making and ship
and engine building establishment ol Messrs. Palmer and Co.
It is situated on the south bank of the Tyne, at Jarrow, and
occupies a frontage to the river of no less than three quarters
of a mile. The various furnaces, forges, engine-factories, slips,
shipways, and graving-docks cover a space of nearly a hundred
acres of land. The business of this compauy was com¬
menced by Messrs. Palmer in 1S52 ; but it extended itself
so rapidly that, in 1865, it was found necessary to
transfer it to a company. The works altogether consist
of five principal, departments ; first, the extensive mines from
which the different minerals are raised ; secondly, the blast¬
furnaces, where the ore is smelted ; thirdly, the puddle-
furnaces, rolling-mill8, and forges, where the iron is converted
into “uses” of every si zo and form Fourthly, a complete
ship-building establishment, where vessels of every kind, from
the largest ironclad man-of-war to the smallest screw-boat,
are built, with the necessary workshops for preparing the
plates, ribs, and beams for the hulls, and for constructing the
joinery and fittings of the cabins, and making the spars, rig¬
ging, and apparel of the ship, with graving docks to fit them
out or repair them iu. Fifthly, an extensive range of work¬
shops in which the steam machinery intended to act as the
propelling power of tbe ships they build is designed, con¬
structed, and fitted together, and every description of casting
and forging executed, whether for marine or general engineering
purposes. As much ns nine millions of tons of ore has been
raised from the mines in Yorkshire to supply the smelting
furnaces of these works, and the rolling-mills are capable of
producing 3500 tons of manufactured iron annually’. The total
amount of tonnage of iron ships built by the company in one
year was 40,000 tons, being more than was produced by all the
shipbuilding yards on the Thames in the same year. Among
the many vessels constructed and equipped at these works, we
find armour-cased floating batteries, ironclad frigates, and
great troop-ships built tor the Admiralty ; a monitor to protect
the harbour of Melbourne; steamers for the Atlantic Ocean,
and numerous cargo and passenger ships for the Baltic and
Mediterranean trade. Mr. Palmer, who now enters Parlia¬
ment, has been twice married ; first, in 1846, to .Jane, daughter
of Mr. E. Robson, of Newcastle; and, secondly, in 1867, to
Augusta Mary’, daughter of xMr. Alfred Lambert, of Paris. The
return of Mr. Palmer involves the gain of a seat to the Liberal
Pfty>u North Durham, as Air. Elliot was a Conservative.
Hie Portrait of Mr. Palmer is from a photograph by Messrs W.
and D. Downey, of Newcastle-on Tyne.

MR. T. BFRT, M.P.

Mr. Thomas Burt, of Newcastle-on-Tyne, who has been
returned as “ The Working-Man Candidate ” for the borouch

use of gold in the decoration of the temple. One fracrmeiit *
found composed of two astragals, between which a narrow Ir*

narrow strip of gold, which formed a fillet of gold between d
astragals. The beauty of the temple was, moreover, heiriffJS
by the use of brilliant colours, remains of which are found •
numerous fragments, blue, red, and yellow being re^ib
distinguished—blue for the background of enrichwentiMl
sculpture in relief, red and yellow for parts requiring n*

The Church of St. Alartin Outwich, now in course of demo,

interred bodies, which have been conveyed to Ilford OemeUrr
The space inside the church has been dug out to a denth Vt
fourteen feet. Above 150 leaden cblfins and 97 large chats Jf
remains have been discovered and placed in a huge vault dw-
mouthof which will be dosed with Blabs suitably inseiiy
Among the remains discovered were those of John Otem h
and his wife, Airs. Abigail Vaughan, who bequeathed fe
annually to purchase faggots for burning heretics.

The excavations in the Coliseum at Rome are being r<m.
timied, and two of the stations of the Via Crucis have been
removed. Marble slabs will be placed in the best preserved
arched corridors, with the names sculptured on them of the
Christian martyrs who gave up their lives in the Coliseum for
their faith.

Air. IL Burchett has laid before the Society of Antinuariw
a senes of paper moulds of the carvings on the stones of Xew
Grange, a tumulus in the county of Meath, Ireland, whi^h is
one of the most interesting antiquarian remains in this
country, and which Dr. Petrie called one of the “pyramids” of
Ireland. Mr. Burchett also showed drawings, ‘plans, and
moulds which had been executed by himself within rix days
that he spent inside the tumulus. Everything tends to show
that New Grange was a burial-place of very remote antiquity,
used by a Royal race at that time. J

Amongst Sir William Tito’s books is a copy of the cxvtn-
6ively rare account of the famous quarrel of Arthur Hall
(member for Grantham in 1576) with Melclnscdtk AiaUune, all
the copies of which were destroyed by order of Parliament
(except fifty-four previously distributed by Hall among his
friends), as derogatory' to the Speaker and other members, who
were personally charged with drunkenness. For writing this
work Hall was expelled the House, fined 500 marks, and com¬
mitted prisoner to the Tower for six months .

In another collection of Chancer Gleanings, by Mt
Form vail, is his appointment as clerk of the works at St
George’s Chapel, Windsor, which w as separate from the general
one at the King’s Palaces at Westminster, Eltham, &c., and til#
Towner of London. Chaucer was appointed when the chapel
was ruinous and ready to tumble down, and seems to have
done nothing to it during two years except buy some stone? for
future repairs, and pay a few men to unload them. Mr. Kurni-
vail adds, “ It is possible that this neglect may have led to the
loss of his office.” His own wages were tw’O shillings a dav,
the master carpenter’s being one shilling.

At a meeting of the Geographical Society Dr. S. W. Boshell,

CAPTAIN BUCKLE.

R. Nicolls Buckle,Esq., Captain Royal Engineers, whose death,
on Lhe field of battle in Ashautee, is just announced, was distin
guished at Woolwich Royal Military Academy, from which he
passed fourth out of a batch of seventeen cadets. His first
commission bears date June 22, 1858. In IS62 he received an
appointment in connection with the Great Exhibition of that
year ; and shortly after proceeded to Gibraltar, where he re¬
mained till 1865, when he was ordered to China. In 1869 he
became Assistant-Surveyor at Hong-Kong; and in 1871, return¬
ing to England, attained the rank of Captain. He was at
Aldersliott in 1873 in command of the B troop Royal Engineer
Train. _

A pension of £100 per annum has been conferred on Major-
General Walker for distinguished services in China and the
Crimea. The grant is from the fund for meritorious services.

The widow of a bailiff named Patrick Mitchell, who was
murdered in the county of Limerick, has been awarded £500 com¬
pensation under the provisions of the Peace Preservation Act.

A new method of dyeing with indigo has been introduced
in Huddersfield. The indigo is rendered soluble by hydro¬
sulphide of soda, pn pared by acting ou a solution of the
bisulphide by metallic zinc. By this process nine pieces of
cloth can be dyed in an hour and a half.

A terrible shipwreck is reported from Fraserburg as one of
the consequences of the late severe storm. The ship Grace
Darling went ashore at St. Combs, and, though there were
four sets of rocket apparatus within a few’ miles of the spot,
her crew of fourteen men w’crc drowned.

The Oxford and Cambridge Chess-Match. —This match is
appointed to take place on Friday, the 27th inst., at the City of London
Restaurant, Milk-street, Cheapside, where it was played last year. The
list of competitors has not yet been decided on, but we shall probably be
enabled to publish it in our next.

SCIENTIFIC RESULTS OF THE MONTH.

In the journal of the Royal Agricultural Society a very im¬
portant report appears by Mr. Lawes and Dr. Gilbert on ex¬
periments made by them on the growth of barley for twenty
years in succession on the same land without allowing it to
remain any of the time fallow' and without a rotation of dif¬
ferent crops. The results obtained are similar to those dis¬
covered by the same inquirers in the case of wheat—namely,
that wheu the same crop is grown consecutively on the same
land for a series of years mineral manures if used alone do not
enable the crop to obtain sufficient nitrogen and carbon to
reach a satisfactory yield, that nitrogenous manures alone are
much more beneficial than mineral manures alone ; but that
the best results are obtained when the two kinds of manure
are simultaneously applied. In tbe case of barley the mixed
manures gave for twenty years in succession on the same laud
more com and straw than farm-yard manure did, and consider¬
ably more than the average barlev crop of the country grown
under the system of the rotation ot crops. These results point
to the practicability of utdising land to greater advantage by a
skilful selection of manures.

An anvil block weighing 500 tons has recently been east at
Perm, a town in the north-eastern part of Russia, where works
for the manufacture of large guns nave been established. To
produce this casting it was necessary to erect fourteen cupola
furnaces and three blowing-engines. The cost of the casting is
said to have amounted to about £16 per ton. But, all things
considered, it was probably more than this. Hydraulic forging-
presses are now superseding steam-hammers. They do not
involve costly foundations or shake surrounding buildings, and,
their action being more of a kneading than of a percussive cha¬
racter, time is afforded for the cxpidsion of the slag from the
heart of the incandescent mass.

At the annual meeting of the Glasgow Geological Society,
on Feb. 12 , Sir W. Thomson read an address on the
Influence of Geological Changes on the Earth’s Rotation.
In early geological times, while the earth was still plastic, the
axis of rotation, it was concluded, might have changed its
pasition. But the earth is now so rigid tnat no such change is
possible. Changes of climate, it was inferred, cannot have
been produced by changes in the earth’s axis of rotation ; and
in regard to subsidences or elevations, they would be incapable
of producing any appreciable effect upon the axis.

A correspondent of the Garden speaks favourably of tLe
prospects of ng culture. The trees should be trained under glass,
like vines. The Bourjassotte Griseis, hesays, one of thebestkinds
to cultivate, as it is a good grower, great bearer, and produces
large fruit. Another good kind is La Madeleine or Angdlique.

Two volumes in English and Japanese have lately been pub¬
lished by the Government of Japan containing the “Regula¬
tions and Syllabus of Studies for the Imperial College of En¬
gineering ” which has been established at Tokei. The course
of training is to extend over six years, and such students as at
the end of that time are able to pass a satisfactory examination
are to receive the diploma of M. E. (Master of Engineering),
and aro to be appointed engineers in the Board of Works.
Professors from the English, Irish, and Scotch Universities
have been appointed to conduct the classes, which are now
attended by fifty-six students.

A valuable contribution to our knowledge of the glacial
periods which formerly prevailed in either hemisphere has
recently been made by Mr. James Geikie, in his work entitled
“The Great Ice-Age, and its Relation to the Antiquity of
Man.” A large part of the work is taken up by a description
of the drift-beds of Scotland, and especially of the Till, the
lowest member of the Scottish drift, which is shown to have
been formed on land beneath a sheet of ice, which overspread
the whole country and pushed its way far out in the shallow
sea. The periods of glaciation, however, were alternated with
periods of comparative mildness, and Mr. Geikie considers that
the theory propounded by Mr. Croll, and which we have on
various occasions explained—namely, that the changes in
climate revealed by geology are mainly due to the effect of
the precession of the equinoxes—best accounts for the ob¬
served phenomena. According to this theory, one hemisphere
receives most heat from the sun during a long series of years,
and then the other hemisphere, so that, even supposing that
the total heat received is a uniform quantity, the phenomena
of Arctic cold and tropical heat may bo alternately producible
in the same locality, and geology shows that such alternations
really existed.

Messrs. Arnold and 8 ons have produced an instrument
called the “instantaneous vaccinator,” in which three needles,
gilt to prevent rusting, arc released bv a spring and protruded
through the side of a small box applied to the child’s arm. The
spring is released by a trigger, as in the scarifier used in
capping. After the perforations have been made the lymph is
blown from a tube and rubbed over the abraded surface.

The Lancet , which has already rendered such valuable ser¬
vice to the public in the detection of adulterations, draws the
attention of the Revenue officials to the large importations of
cocculus iudicus, which is believed to be used for adulterating
beer. On Jan. 31 the stock was 1066 bags.

The engineering world has learned with regret that one of
the moat beneficial inventors of the nineteenth century-—Sir
Francis Pettit Smith, late curator of the Patent Museum,
South Kensington—baa passed from amongst us duriijg the
past month. Whatever efforts or experiments may have been
made by others, nothing is now more notorious than that it is
mainly to the ingenuity, resource, and persistency of Sir Francis
Smith that wo are indebted for the practical introduction of the
screw-propeller into steam navigation. But such was the diffi¬
culty of the achievement and the inertia of prejudice and i^no-
i auce to be surmounted, that his patent had nearly expired
before the system came into favourable recognition, and, the

f latent laws at the time being imperfect, he in the end derived
ittle pecuniary benefit from nis successes.

A good deal of discussion has been going on in engineering
circles about the refusal of the Board of Trade engineers to
allow the safety-valves of steam-boat boilers to lie pressed
down by springs instead of weights. There is no good reason
why springs should not be employed. Meanwhile wc advise
the interposition of a spring between the weight and the valve.
When a steamer subsides between tw o waves in a rough sea the
weights on the safety-valve lose part of their gravity and part
of the Btearn blows off. But if a spring be interposed between
the weight and valve this action will be prevented, or at least
diminished.

Giffard’s injector for feeding steam-boilers, though a most
elegant and useful instrument, is known to be capricious in its
action, and M. Ferrero says that this arises from the water and
steam openings not being properly adjusted to one another.
He therefore proposes a new injector, in which one orifice can¬
not be altered without correspondingly altering the other. In
this we see no objection. But injectors fail to act sometimes
from other causes than a mat-adjustment of tho orifices, such
as ohip or straw getting into the passages, or a too high
temperature of the injected water.

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS

messages Iran the frightened King, and how at length he
v as driven to the conclusion that no reliance whatever
could he placed upon that Sovereign's word, the reader
must learn from the General's own despatches. There
was no alternative left but the infliction of'summary and
severe punishment upon the wily foe. Successive tor¬
nadoes had given impressive warning to Sir Garnet and
Lis colleagues that a few days' stay where they were
might put an insurmountable obstacle in the way of their
return to the coast. Main had fallen heavily ; the rivers
which they had crossed on their march northward were
rapidly r.sing. The roads were becoming slippery,

swampy, and in places nearly impassable. To temporise
would have been madness ; to return without leaving
behind some visible and impressive evidence of the
superiority of British power would have been to forego
the main objects of the expedition. Reluctantly, but
without the least hesitation as to the duty which
devolved upon him, Sir < ‘amet Woiseley gave

orders for the destruction of Coomassie by fire.

The palace of the King was mined, and the

city was set fire to in several quarters. The troops
evacuated the place while it was still in Lames. The
Illustration forwarded to us by our Special Artist
will give a vivid idea of the scene. The work of destruc¬
tion was complete. Captain Sartorius, with an escort of
twenty men detached from Glover's force, a few miles to
the east of the city, passed through the ruins a day or
two afterwards, and saw that not a single living soul had
remained on the spot. The lesson seems to have told
upon the mind of the King as nothing else could have
done. Enraged as he was by the losses lie had sustained,
and apprehending further disaster from the advance of
Glover's force, 1 e sent messengers after Sir Garnet
WcbeJey. this tin c with tin instalment «>f a war indemnity
in lheir hands, to request the immediate countermanding
of the further march, of the iroops under Glover, and to
er.puss his readine^- to sign any t reaty which Sir Garnet
might deem suitable and necessary. Tints has ended a war
forced tiptn m by wanton aggrusrion , on the part of the
A*hantecs. Tho programme of Lir Garnet Woiseley has
Urn realhiG in all its parts. He has done what he said
he would do; he 1ms done it all within the brief period
which he signed for its execution. Our troops and our
tars are now on their passage home, and may lie expected
off our own coasts in a few days. They will, no doubt,
receive the distinction which they have deserved. They
have borne the flag of England through a pestilential
country to a capital deemed by most to 1>e beyond reach
of European power. They have shed new* lustre, by their
discipline, the ir courage, and their success, upon the
name and thine of the nation which they represented. If.
to a large extent, the wax was, as Lord Derby charac¬
terised it, “ an engineer s war,” we have yet the consola¬
tion derived from the thought that it has been admirably
conducted, and has resulted in a triumphant achievement
i f the end for which it was undertaken.

THE STATE ENTRY INTO LONDON.

“ Tlie welcome which their Royal Highnesses received on Get¬
ting foot on the shores of England, and tho cordiality and
loyalty 80 markedly shown ” (to quote the Duke of Edinburgh’s
genial letter to the Mayor of Gravesend), were excelled by the
♦ ntliusiaatic reception given them on their passage through
London, with her Majesty tho Queen, on Thursday. They
were greeted with sunny weather, quite suggestive of tho
time “when llowera begin to blow” (as tho Poet Laureate
rang), upon their arrival at Grave?cud; but snowdrops were
tho solo Hoovers which strewed their path on Thursday.
Snow fell as tlie Queen, with her new daughter aud Princo
Alfred and a few other members of tho Royal # family, left
Windsor Castle, at eleven o’clock, in closed carriages, for the
railway station, with an escort of Scots Greys ; snow fell and
made the country look like one vast bride-cake aa tho Royal
train was drawn by the flag-decked engine “Queen” to
Paddington terminus, which was all ablaze with Russian and
English colours ; snow still fell as the Royal party were driven
in open carriages from the Great Western station and received
London’s fust “thundering cheer of the street.” For hoars
the people had been gathering, in spite of the persistent
“Russian snowfall.” and they thronged the windows,
balconies, aud even housetops, aud tho pavements and each
ride of the roadway, all along the lino from Paddington
to Buckingham Palace. The QHieen and the Royal
ccuple showed their gracious appreciation of this English
weather-scorning heartiness by themselves braving the
mow in an open landau, drawn by six bays, with
[ ostiiions iu scarlet and gold liveries. Hor Majesty was
dressed, as usual, in half-mourning, aud looked in very good
health as she smilingly bowed in acknowledgment of the
hearty cheering. By her side oat the Grand Duchess, her fair
wicscmo face lit up with a charming smile as she also

I ent lur head to the hurrahing people. Her Imperial
Highness was attired in a purple velvet mantle edged
w.ih fur, a pale blue silk dress, and white bonnet. Tho
Tank, ingenuous expression of her freak, comely features
m - iiitd 1o win all hearts. Princess Beatrice sat facing the
Grand Duchess ; while next tlie Princess was the Duke of
Edinburgh, in Captain's uniform, taking off his cocked hat
«very moment. The route was lined by the military an 1
the police ; a troop of Carabinicrs preceded the Royal car¬
riage, which had an escort of Life Guards ; and tho Dak3

I I ( crubric!go rode to the right of hor Majesty’s carriage.
Snow continued to fall, but the cheers grew louder, and tlu
ilrgs, r.nd mottoes, and Venetian masts wore in greater pro¬
fusion as tho Duke and Duchess passed down the hklgsvare-
road 4 across which, at one point, was slung the most appvo-
pi iatc trophy of all—a model of the ship Galatea. Oxford-
etrect was similarly gay with banting and red cloth
and loyal decorations. As the Royal cortege turned

. round Oxford-circus, quite a fairy scene greeted the eyes
o? The happy couple. From a pavilion, bright with hot house
plants and flowers, there were suspended from the thronged
house-tops of the circus graceful garlands of red aui white
roses; while at the Commencement of Regent-street, plaster
figures Hood cn pedestals holding wreaths of welcome. The
tinciing litre was particularly enthusiastic. The same
good-jramoured welcome came from the closely-packed
people .*>11 the way down Regent-street, resplendent with
flags and mottoes, and through Pall-mall and Gockspur-
&tiect to Trafalgar-square, w'licro the cheers from tin as¬
sembled tho'usands increased in volume; and -“li-qjpy
thought” of the Admiralty—especial pleasure must have been
given to the Royal G’aptain by tlie final nolutc from the gallant
bluejackets under Captain Boys, who were formed iu front of
the Admiralty, ^Whitehall, and Buckingham Palace, ai the
Queen with their Royal Highnesses finished their triumphal
procession through the west end of London. At the principal
window of the palace tlie Prince of Wales, Prince Christian,
and the Royal children were awaiting the arrival of the pro¬
cession, while the Princess of Wales and Princess Louise were
stationed at .mother window. As the carriages entered the
gait of Buckingham Palace the snow, which had been falling
iln«v»ghout the morning w ithout intermission, suddenly ceased,
amt the sun broke tluougli tlie clouds. A salute of artillery
was riven as tho Royal family alighted. The immense crowd
coi.timtid to cheer in the most vociferous manner; and a few
nniitiit 's afterwards her Majesty and the Duke atnl Duchess,
evidently lightly interpreting the wishes of the people, appeared
at ope of the balconies and repeatedly bowed thsir acknow¬
ledgments.

Tlie Engravings illustrating tlie home-coming of the D ike

THE ASHANTEE VAR.

On Saturday last \vc received from our Special Artist, who
had hceu with Sir Garnet Wolscloy's expedition at the cap-
lure of Ocmassie, a loiter and sketches, dispatched by him on
Feb. 7 from A gem am mu. fourteen miles from Cooraas:de._on
the return march, after the overthrow and expulsion of King
Kcffee Kalkalli and the burning qf the city. We are indebted
to the Hoc. Lieutenant H. .1. L. Wood, 10 th Hussars, Aide-cle-
Cnrip to Sir Garnet Wolseley, for bringing us theao .sketches,
together with the General's despatches to the Colonial Office.
Our Artist wrote as follows

“Cot maesie lias been reached at last, and was destroyed
yeetf day morning On the 4th we lia 1 tremendous fighting,

vrvy hard day nltogether, and we all arrived at CoomSslte
iio r* ry much exhr nsiod that many of us were incap ible on
the fofiowieg (lav. Unfortunately, I was among the number ;
l;ut nevertheless* 1 wa 3 ahle to keep up sufficiently to make
f orce interesting sketched I have hurried off the accompauy-
irg sketch, ns Sir Garnet is going to send it, in a few
minutes, with his despatches. Coomassie was burnt, an l
therefore I think it would be more interesting to show it in
flames. The Naval Brigade cleared the streets of our
carriers and others, that they might not be burnt while trying
to save and steal tilings from tho burning houses. The King
kept cut of sight, and would not see Sir Garnet. My sketches
of the house and bed-room of the King, of the slaughter-place
where the Haves are killed, and various other sketches, I shall
take up with me, as i hope to leave Cape Coast by the next
mail, or else in a Government ship. Our active engineers set
fire to tlo thatched roofs of the houses with large and long
torches, and the whole town was soon a mn ?8 of flames and
rmoke.”

This is the scene represented in our Artist’s Sketch, which
forms the subject of our Large Engraving, presented as an
Extra .Supplement with this Number of the Illustrated London
JS'er's. T) i- details of the military actions, and the circumstances
under which Geueral Sir Garnet Wobeley ordered the
dc-jti action of the enemy's capital, arc related in the following
extracts from his despatches to the War Office and to the
f vlndfll Office, the foimer dated from Coomassio on Feb.
the latter frem Agemammn, on the 7th ;—

“ Coomassie, Feb 5.

‘•'According to the intention expressed in my despatch of
the 1st inst., 1 on that day attacked Becquah, about a mile to
th< vcft of Amoaful. The .operation was successfully carried
out under the command of Brigadier-General Sir Archibald
A lie* n, Bark, O.R On the day following \ moved forward to
Ag»mj n imi. the <neBSy disputing every mile of ground. There
1 fstahiished a fortified post, at which 1 left all my tents aud

“Uit ilie 3rd inst. I moved forward Again, the enemy in
great force opposing our advance and hanging round our flanks.
U h ie on the march 1 received a letter from'the King, begging
me to bait and saying ho would consent to my terms. I re¬
plied that he had so deceived me before that 1 could u-jfc trust
him ; but, to prove to 1 dm how anxious I was for peace, I would
halt for the night on the Ordah liver, and would not advance
beyond it with all my force until the following morning, if he
w ould send to me at once his mother and brother as hostage*.

‘-Luring the night 1 had a bridge constructed over the

mints in the palace fired. A tornado had raged during the
previous day and night, but the destruction of the town by fire

wascmnpltte. ^ ^ch I addressed to you on Oct. 13 last,
a kinc for English troops to be stmt-out to enable me to accom¬
plish mv mhsion. 1 stated that that mission—to ensure a last-
nic peata* with the Ashantee kingdom—could only be XuluLoi
in one w ax —by defeating the Ashantee army, by pursuing is,
if neccssaiy, to the capital of the Ashantee kingdom, and by so
showing to the King and all those chiefs who urged him on to
w in . that thc,arm oi her Majesty is powerful to punish her ene¬
mies even in the very heart of their own country. That mission
1 conceive 1 have now fuliilled by tlic aid of the troops which
her Majesty’s Government confided to mo for its accomplish¬
ment. Yet 1 can truly state that nonneans were left untried
by me to bring about a pjcaceable-solution of the campaign. Up
to the last horn' I left the King’s palace untouched, in hope 3
that he would return. The troops refrained with the most ad-
mirablo self-control from spoliation or plunder ; and they left
the capital cf this kingdom, eo famed for its gold, without
carrying away ns plunder one article of valuo.

“All the troops have now reached or passed this point.
The return march was not made without difficulty. The
streams and rivers had become so swollen from the effect of
the tornados of the last few days that tli e shallow swamps had
become waist deep, and the water in the river Ordah had
yesterday submerged the bridge constructed on the night of the
3 rd inst., and wns^still rising when the troops passed the river.
But the convoys were all taken over in safety, and the men of
the Rifle Brigade and 42nd Regiment, before whoso arrival the
bridge had commenced to give way, undressed, passed thoir
c’othcs over the heads of natives, and themselves forded the
stream, in one part fully 5 ft. deep. I shall continue my home¬
ward inarch to-inorrow by as rapid stages as the nature of the
country will allow, and w ith every military precaution.”

In his despatch to the Secretary of State for Colonial
Affairs Sir Garnet Wolseley remarks :—

“ The whole scheme of Ashantee politics is so based upon
treachery that the King does not cither understand any other
form of negotiation or believe it possible that others can have
honest intentions. Under these circumstances, it became clear
that a treaty would be as valueless to us as it w.i3 difficult to
obtain. Nothing remained but to leave such a mark of our
power to pjunish'as should deter from future aggression a nation
whom treaties do not bind. 1 have done ail i could to avoid

destruction of the palace and the burning of the city. 1 had at
one time also contemplated the destruction of the Bantama,
where the sacred ashes of former Kings are entombed, but this
would have involved a delay of some hours. Very heavy rain
had fallen. 1 feared that the streams might have risen in my
rear sufficiently to seriously delay my march. I considered it
better, therefore, not to risk further the health of the troops,
the wet weather having already threatened seriously to affect it*

“ The demolition ot tho place was complete. From, all that
I can gather, 1 believe that the result will be such a diminution
in the prestige and military power of the Ashantee monarch as
may it suit in the break-up of the kingdom altogether. This I
bad bcui anxious to avoid, because it seems impossible to fore¬
see what Tower can take this nation’s place among tho feeble
races of this coast. 1 certainly believe that your Lordship may

with ‘he same courage os at Araoaful, for although thj'r ro

pnev’cvsly pa . id rdl the rt serve ammunition, tidd hoqiifcils,
and supplies, through the troops, who held the 3’o.vi between
the m . r ia.d the village, a distance of about a mile. The
emiry thin attacked the village with largo number* from all

Jntge numbers of aimed men, who did nob attempt to resist.

undergone ft mat fatiguing 'day's work, no water fit for drink¬

lomado, which drenched our bivouac. It was nearly six o’clock

gave three chcera for the Queen. Since m 3 ’ arrival hero last

Should he refuse my offers, I shall destroy his palace aud his
capital, and march without a day’s delay to the coast.”

, “Agemainmu, Feb. 7 .

“On the 5tli inst. 1 had the honour to address you from
Coomassie. and to inform you that, if the King refused to come
in, 1 should destroy his capital. I now regret to have to report
that all n.y efforts to induce him to come himself, or .“end a
Prince of the Royal blood to treat with me, failed ; and that
the King only continued that policy of falsehood and deception
which have marked all his dealings with me. Messengers who
arrived throughout the 5th wxrc nbpsing the libertywhich I
allowed them by carrying oft arms and ammunition from the
town, and on the evening of that day I decided upon with-
di awing my troops and destroying Coomassie.

“Mv decision to withdraw immediately was strengthened

oiinrs for an advance, on the morning of the 6 th, of all the
remaining troops, beyond Coomassie, the dispositions being
such that cn the facing about of the column, all would be in
order for the homeward inarch. Prize agents were appointed, and
the most valuable articles left in the palace were packed up ; the
King haring evidently removed or concealed his treasure. A
P^rty of the Royal Engineers was engaged during the night
mining tho palaro. Early on the Gth our homeward move¬
ments commenced, headed by the Naval Brigade and covered
l> 3 ' ft rear guard of the 42nd Highlanders, which did not retire
till the tow’u had been set on tire in every quarter aud the

face of the earth. Their capital was a chamel-hou 3 c; their
1 ciigion a combination of cruelty and treachery j their policy
the natural cutcomo of their religion. I cannot think that,
whatever may be the Anal fate of the people of this country,
tho absolute annihilation of such a rule, should it occur, would
he a subject for uumixed. regret, lu a 113 ' case, I believe that
the main object of iny expedition has been perfectly secured*

On Wednesday the follow ing telegraphic despatch from Sir

La* icur at the front. Since I made this sketch we have tal
to a very large village called Becquah. He led here
usual, and met with some very severe firing from f
enemy. Unfortunately, his scouts, who behave! admiral'
were ill supported by tho Houssaa. These, instead ,
junnirg up to his assistance, made tor the bush on each
and lay down. *So Lord Gifford alone had to return the *•
cf nearly three thousand Ashantees before the whitei co
come up. As it was, he at once ran back, aud, with u
assistance of another officer, literally kicked the Houss *. 1115
They were actually found by him lying down aud refuiino°i 1 '
tight. At last, by ureat exertion, they were got up aud ml -1

But, just when tlicq’ showed the most likelihood jjfaj: *
so, a shout of triumph rent the air, which told us L^f
Gifloril was in the village. The native company l wai w v
was then persuaded to rush forward. So 1 arrived i Q

Almost immediately afterwards the Naval Biigide, th

tho bush, and opened a keavv fixe upon us iu the rilUzo.
cot long after this Colonel M‘Leod, who was in clurge y f ». s
attack, ordered the village to be burnt. Duly those who W
beheld such a scene will or can imagine its grandeur, f 8

With reference to another subject, our Artist writej•-
“ Tlie group of Ashantee prisoners brought into cama 11

fiont rank, of those I have drawn. A guard of Bonny n&
was placed over these prisoners. No doubt, as the ffviiiiv

an Ashantee. Iudeed, they'looked at tho poor m ■ vgu .W-l
in such a manner as led ono really to believe that 1 tiros only
tho presence of the white man that prevented their eating *A*

“ ’li e icerptien of m.vra from the front,” saya our Adat
again, “was always an e .citing moment. It is u

FRANCE.

(Frcnn our Correspondent in Paris.)

Thursday, March 12.

Every fresh victory gained by the Government of ° moral
order " in the Assembly ir> in reality an additional defeat, ao it
necessarily conduces to] its unpopularity throughout the
country. During the past week the Dac de Broglie and his
colleagues have achieved another triumph at Versailles, which
bus only increased the contempt with which they and their
arbitrary rule etc generally regarded. A short time ago the
Figaro —a journal v.hich, though professedly Legitimist, lias

I aid court by turns to the Bonapaitdste, the Thiersists, the
Orleanirts, and Ihe present Chief of the State—published an
extremely violent article inviting Marshal Mac Mali on to achieve
n coup d'etat, presumably to the advantage of the Count de
Chainbord. The article attracted much attention, especially
as it was said that the Figaro fwas the President’s favourite
newspaper; and M. Baze, one of the questora of the Assembly,
brought the matter before M. Bullet and the Bureau. The latter
decided, however, not to move in the matter, although the in¬
tuiting language used by the Figaro with reference to the
Assembly was such as no journal has ever employed since the
Mot (FOrilre and the Cri du PtujM demanded that all the
“ rural s ” should be guillotined.

The Kepublican party, however, determined to call the atten¬
tion of the Assembly to the article ; and at a recent sitting M.
Chrifitophle formally interpellated the Government on tho
subject. He set forth in a most moderate speech, that, by
allowing the Figaro to go unpunished, the Cabinet showed that
it sympathised with its seditious suggestion. Back a state of
things, ho maintained, could not exist. If Republican journals,
such as M. About’s paper, the XlXeme Sfocle, were interdicted
on the public way for insulting the Assembly, Royalist organs
guilty of the earne o{fence should not enjoy immunity. It might
be said that the editor of the Figaro had apologised and dis¬
avowed the writer of the article ; but in the course of liis so-
called apology be bad repeated the offence with aggravation,
recommending force a^aniBt the Republican minority. The
Ministry, M. Chris top] ilo remarked, had “ falsified the tifclo of

* Government of moral order/ which it assumed a few month*
ago, and Las fallen back upon its original odious designation of

* Goiivei nement de Combat/ It has made use of the power
vested in its Lands by virtue of the state of siege in tho moat
illegal manner, not in furtherance of any principle, but simply
of its own interests, decreeing tho inviolability of its own friends
hi place of Parliamuntniy inviolability. It is energetic against
agitation for a legal dissolution, but connives at a threat of
f gi chile djppemon.

1 ho Duo de Broglie, who replied, treated the matter as one
rf very little import. Ho agreed that the Figaro article was
bismahle, hut remarked that the general line taken by it was
coed, that of tho XJXenic Sfork —which supports M. Thiera—
being, on the contrary, very bad. An allegatiou that the
Thiers Government was as arbitrary as tho present Ministry in
press proRcciitaona brought M. Victor Lefranc, ex-Minister of
the Interior, to the tribune. He indignantly repudiated the
Due de Broglie’s imputation, and defied him to snow that he

I I ad eve l passed over such an attack as that made by the Figaro
v ithcul bringing it before the tribunals. The Chamber then
divided, the Government triumphing by 3SS votes against 331.

- With tho exception of tin's disoiiBiion—which, it may be
remarked, completely disappointed popular expectation, there
being t o exciting contest, no “ scenes,” no calls to order, such
us usually occur at interpellation debates—nothing of interest
Las taken place in the Assembly this week. The deputies have
been steadily plodding on through the new taxation laws,
listening to innumerable dry financial speeches, aud rejecting
counties Lmcndments, each more ridiculous than the other.
This much has been decided upon : that there shall be a new
valuation of fond formerly uncultivated, and that a tax shall
be levied on goods conveyed by luggage-trains. Warm con- ^
ei at illations were offered to M. .Lcdm-ltollin by the Left oa
his taking his scat on Monday.

With k regard to the Committee of Thirty, which lias been
occupied duiing the last three months in drawing up tho new
electoral law, that body has decided that candidates for
election must be born or domiciled in the departments in
which they present thanselvc3, or must he registered on the
3isb of ratepayer* there, or have previously been public
fnnetionarie?. They must, moreover, have attained the ago of
thirty instead of twenty-five years, which Iu j hitherto besn-
deemed the porictVof discruliou. Officers of the army,whether
fccrvhli with their regTiatnte or on tho retired list, will be
ineligible.

A grand ball v pa given at the Tribunal de Commerce*, on
Monday night, ihhonur of Marshal MacMahou. The deebnv
lien of the grand courtyard, which had been transformed into a
dancing-room, wee exceedingly gorgeous. Eighteen immense
cbancklicre hung Dorn tho gln/.cd roof, concealed by a veil of
ftrr-rpriv^hd rone silk, through which streamed tho rays
cf eight electric Lin pa. The arcades of tho ground lloov were
profusely decorated with mirrors and trailing plants—masses of
pMm-trce s, bananas, camellias, cacti, and rhododendrons rising
at each corner cf tho sidle. Between the eighty lofty columns
cf the fust-floor gallery, hung vdtk crimson9Uk curta^iringod
with gold, hung eighty chandeliers, throwing additional light
upon the animated seeno below. The decoration of tho various
salons was equally splendid. Marshal MacMahou and ihe
Buchers de Magenta arrived at ten o’clock, attended by a
numerous suite. Haring been received by M. D.upi'u, the
President of the Tribiuuu, they walked in regal fashion round
the salons, preceded by several huisaiers and commissaries of
the fete, eventually returning to a special drawing-roam, where
the Ministers, the members of the diplomatic body, tho Governor
cf Paris, the Pn-fet of the Seine, and other functionaries wore
already awaiting their arrival.

INDIA.

There is little change in the general character of the intel¬
ligence from Bengal. The Commissioner of Patna telegraphs
from Durbungnli that he is not now apprehensive. The relief
works have staved off the danger. The Viceroy states that the
rtafi of Europeans for the relief works has been increased. .Ill
the requests of the Bengal Government for men have been
promptly and fully complied with, “and nothing,” lie adds,
“shall stand in the way of meeting the wants of the famine
districts.” Tho number of persons employed on the relief
works in Northern Tirhoot is rapidly increasing. The distress,
it is said, is being effectually relieved in the worst districts.

The India papers contain accounts of the religious riots
which took place in Bombay. It seems that the Mohammedans
were greatly excited by the comments of ouo of their
priests upon a translation of Wasliiarton Irving’s “Life of
Mahomet,” which had been published by a Parsee. An offer
w as made to stop the sale of the book, and it was thought that
the matter had been pacifically sottlod. As already reported,
however, serious riots occurred, a good deal of pillage t)ok
place, many arrests were made, and several persons were
injured. The Parsce3 of Bombay have met and commented
on the attitude of the local Government towards the Parsee
community' with reference to tho late riots. A memorial on the
subject is to be addressed to the Secretary of State for India.

AUSTRALIA.

It was telegraphed from Melbourne on Tuesday that the
Victorian Parliament lias been dissolved. The Ministry’ lias
announced that the policy upon which it appeal to the country

is confined to the one issue of constitutional reform. The
Government desires to bring both Chambers of the Legislature
into liarmony r . and proposes tho Norwegian plan—that on the
rejection of hills either House both Houses should sit
together to consider such bills.

PARLIAMENT.

On the ctav after the meeting of Parliament there seamed to ho

. •« « • 1 ' ! 1 _ ___ A. > .. <1 M a m £ »«c: t Alt ntid C O I. f", I f tl O iV XX

fctill a sort of bewilderment and confusion, and settling down
was by no means the order of the day. The new menu ara
were as yet rather Mild, though the old ones seemed more at
their case v/hcu they ranged themselves in thou* change p a
on each side of the chair. Notably, components of the U,e
Government were in presence, fittmg themselves into>s *

the front Opposition bench—Mr. \Y. E. Forster, seeming to be
rehearsing the part of leader ; Mr. Lowe, smiling, 1 * 1 1 •
rcntly prepared to he bitterly facetious on the ^ast rmoioca-
tion : Hr.Xyon Playfair, looking, it might be fancied rather
glum, and with reason, inasmuch as he Jhas missed the fruition
bf his political lifo ; Mr. Adam, stoically pleasant m expression;
Mr. Stausfeld, wearing a smile so stereotyped that it suggested
a painful effort to preserve it; Mr. Arthur Peel, calm as usual;
and Mr. Childers, who assumes a right to a seat m this place
of honour, to which he has not strictly a right, inasmuch as
he* was an ex-Miniater long before the late Government re¬
signed. Sir Henry James was there as a member of the ex-
Ministrv, but Sir W. Vernon Harconrt did not assume so much
of state as belongs to occupying the front Opposition bench,

but hovered about the bar restlessly. .

The new Ministers, or rather those subordinate officials who
had not vacated their seats on taking office, were not in a hurry
to fix themselves on the Treasury bench, even Mr. V . H. Smith,
who M*ns temporary “manager for the Government, settling
there as little as possible. Some of the old members who have
acquired particular seats, corresponding to each other on either
side of the chair, by courtesy or a sort of prescription, took
“ seisin” of them ; and {notably Mr. Henley and Mr. Walpole,
as ever, sat close together,Hike “twin cherries on one stalk, •
on the first seats above the gangway, on the third bench.
There was a considerable crowd in which numerous familiar
faces were to be recognised, even when neophytes and veteran9

were mingled higslecfy-piggledy on the floor.

The etentoriah cry of “ Mr. Speaker! winch the oul

__ m ' Mr. Speaker ! ”

members know so well, soon echoed through the chamber, and,
startling the novices, sent them like so many frightened rabbits
into any places they could find, and the House was duly
ranged, all standing to receive Mr. Brand as he marched up the
floor. This, perhaps, was rather a trying situation, for, as he wa3
not yet a full- blown ^Speaker, ho had not assumed his panoply
of full-bottomed wig and flowing gown, but wore a bob-wig and
a plain black Court dress, but without the small sword that
usually accompanies that costume, which all Speakers were
accustomed to wear on like occasions to the present, but which
Mr. Evelyn Denison first dispensed with about the middle of his
career. Presently came Black Rod, with the usaal dictatorial
message from the Lords ordering the Commons to appear in the
Upper House before quasi-Royalty semi-authorised — that is,
before a Royal Commission sitting on a bench before the regular
throne. There confirmation of the choice of a Speaker was
accorded to her Majesty’s faithful Commons ; and Mr. Brand,
with special dignity and impressiveness, demanded the usual
privileges of those over whom he had been placed, and was elo¬
cutionary when he changed his tone and spoke of himself in all
humility. .

Returned to their own House, the Commons received from
the Speaker intelligence of what had occurred in the “other
place,” which no one was supposed. to know, though half of
them had seen and heard it all with their own personal eyes
and ears ; and then Mr. Brand, slipping out for a few minutes,
came back “ full-armoured "—that is to say, in his com¬
plete official costume ; and, bein^ now “ every inch ” a
Speaker, assumed the chair amidst the cheers of everybody
present who had a right to cheer. Alone, he took the brief
oath that is nowadays considered to be sufficient to bind mem¬
bers of the Legislature to their loyalty and good behaviour,
and then commenced the goneral process of swearing in. Long
tables had been added to the massive fixtures of that kind which
stand before the chair, and on both were arranged, exactly
like the plates for a coming feast, all the purple and gilt i
ments which are kept in store in the House. As many mem¬
bers ns could hold a comer of each of these were called by
name, and, having arranged themselves in two row3, followed
the oath, as read by Sir Erskine May, together, and as much in
unison as they could, the effect being, so to speak, rather
congregational.

Tho proposer and seconder of the Speaker, Mr. Chaplin and
Lord George Cavendish, who had been in attendance on him
as closely as two aides-de-camp, had the privilege of swearing
in the first group, and inscribing their names at the head of
the roll of the now Parliament. In succession —amidst very
large numbers who were cither not distinguished or not distin¬
guishable—came, to pledge their Parliamentary fealty, Mr.
Walpole, Mr. Horsman, Mr. Nnwdegate, Mr. Walter, Mr.
Mowbray, Mr. W. H. Smith, Mr. W. E. Forster, Mr. Stausfeld,
and so on. For nearly three hours the somewhat tedious pro¬
cess was kept up, and considerable way made in the perfecting
of membership.

The next day, though it was Saturday, the House metagain,
and resumed the givingof the finishing touch to the newly-clecfced.
The zeal in attendance, and the anxiety to be sworn which
was the characteristic of the day before, were rather wanting
now; but during the sitting faii*x>rogre8S was made in the opera¬
tion for which the sitting had been held. It may be mentioned
that Mr. Henley and Mr. Roebuck put in appearances; and
Lord George Hamilton, who had been expected to be play¬
ing Under* Secretary with effusion on the Treasury Bench
long before, made his first appearance. There, too, were Sir
Chaiks Dilke, Mr. Bercsford-Hope, Lord Eustace Cecil, Mr.
Russell Gurney, rvut viultfa nltti, of lesser or no note.

On Monday there wa3 more formal ceremonial, for tha
Lords Commissioners again sent for the Commons to the Upper
House, and told them that perhaps they had done enough iu
the way of swearing, and that they had better let tho writs for
the elections of the Ministers who had vacated their seats bo
moved, and then adjourn until the 19th inst., when the real
business of the Session would begin. Being informed by the
Speaker of the Royal mandate, tho House meekly obeyed ; and
Mr. Hart-Dyka the new Parliamentary Secretary to the Trea¬
sury, who Lad hi llierto modestly abstained from making himself
prominent on tho Government bench, cani3 forward and, with
good emphasis, moved in succession most of the necessary writs.
Amongst them was not that for the county of Buckingham,
because, there having been a fantastic opposition to Mr. Disraeli
at the general election, it was necessary to let twenty-one days
pass from Lhe date of the election before anew writ was moved,
iu order to allow a petition against the return to be lodged. The
Commons, therefore, had to meet once more on Thursday for tho
purpose of Bending Mr. Disraeli back to his constituents. From
that time to a week hence the country will have to wait before
it learns or is vouchsafed a glimmering of the great Conservative
policy. _

Lord Lothian will move and Lord Cadogan second tlio
Address in the House of Lords ; and Sir W. Sterling-Maxwell
will move and Mr. Callender second tho Addres9 in the House
of Commons.

MUSIC.

THE OPERA SEASON.

Her Majesty’s Opera, which is to reopen, at Drury-Liao
Theatre, on Tuesday next; and are no w enabled t:> suauiirue
Mr. Gve’s prospectus for tho forthcoming performances of the
Royal ltaban Oiiera, at Covent-Garden Theatre, to commence
ou the 31st inst.

The last-named establishment will continue to possess the
invaluable co-operation of Madame Adelina Patti, in com nnv
tion with the more recently-proved attraction of Malle..Luma

. reappearance .

the other opera-house of Mdlic. Marimon, and tho first appear¬
ance of M dll os. Gliiotti, Ciemencc Calasch, and Dianh Amm'
the re-engagements arc those of Meadamos Sinico, Saar, aud
Dtir An esc, and Mdllcs. Scalclii, Smeroschi, D’Augeri, Pezzotba,
and Cored. Four new tenors are engaged—Signori Bolls, Sab at ;r,
Piazza, and M. Blume- the principal and secondary artists of
this class being, as in previous seasons, Signori Nieolini, Bsttini,
Pavani, Marino, Manfred i. and Rossi.

The list of baritones and basses is the same a3 last year -
MM. Fauro and Maurel, Signori Graziani, Cotogui, Bagagiolo,
Ciampi,‘ Capponi, Tasfiafico, Raguer, and Fallar.

The conauctors will again be, in alternation, Signori Tianesi
and Bevignani; Mr. C&rrodus continues as chief and solo
violinist, Mr. Pittman as organist, and most other offices are
also filled as before.

In the ballet department the name of the clever dancer,
Mdlle. Girod, reappears, and two new comers—Mdlles. Pratti
and Bicesti—are announced.

Besides the ample repertoire already at command, five addi-

Czar "—three of which, at least, are to be produced.

At this week’B Monday Popular Concert Miss Agues
Zimmennaiin was the pianist, her soio performances having con¬
sisted of the third of the seven “ characteristic piece* ” of
Mendclssolm classed as op. 7 (these being among the several
extraordinaiy productions of his youth) and tbs la3fc of tho
same composer’s Bix preludes and fugue3 (op. 35). Herr
Joachim, who was the leading violinist, played the “ Chaconne ’’
from the fourth of Bach’s sonatas for violin alone, aud received
the usual enthusiastic encore. Beethoven’s string quiutot in C
and Hadyn’s quartet in E flat (from op. 64) were tho other
instrumental pieces. Miss Antoinette Sterling sang with much
effect the “ Cradle Song," from Bach's “ Christum Oratorio,"
and lieder by Schubert, Schumann, and Mendelssohu. the last
of which was encored. Sir J. Benedict conduotod.

The present season of the London Bllkd Concerts u nearly
completed, the last performance but one having taken place on
Wednesday evening.

Last week’s Crystal Palace Concert included a performance
of the noble music which Beethoven composed for Goethe’s
tragedy, “Egmont." The overture has for nnuy years found
occasional hearing at London concerts; but the equally fine
music intended for incidental use in the drama was little
known here until given at one of these concerts eleven years
ago ; having been related in 1SG9. Again, ou Saturday, it
produced a marked impression — the orchestral movements
finely played by the band, and tho two songs for Clara ad¬
mirably declaimed by Madame Otto-Alvaleban. The connect¬
ing links of the dramatic text were declaimed by Mr. Lin
Bayne. The concert referred to brought forward—for the first
time in England—a series of variations for full orchestra, o im¬
posed by Brahms, on a theme by Haydn. These arc full of
variety and interest in the treatment of the principal subject,
winch is varied eight times, with a supplemental movement as
coda. Miscellaneous vocal solos by Madame Alvsleben arid
Mr. Banfcley, and Rossini's overture to “ Tell," completed the
programme.

Tho second season of tho British Orchestral Society is
approaching its close, four of the six concerts having taken
place. The programme of the fourth occasion (on Thuralay
evening) comprised Mendelssohn’s “ Scotch" Symphony, tho
overture to Mr. Macfarren’s “St. John the Baptist," that to

Mnyart’s “ Zi.u!w>rlliifcn. w And an<»w ann nnfcifl.xl •< Tim Wilv.'... .»

Mozart’s “ Zauberilute," and a new one, entitled “ The Witch ’*’
Frolic," by Mr. B. Gadsby, besides Snohr’s eighth violin can¬
cer to (“in modo di scena canfcante") played by Mr. Carrodus.

The Inst but one of the second Berios of the Wagner Society’s
concerts took place yesterday (Friday) evening, when tho pro¬
gramme commenced with ^Beethoven’s overture to “King
Stephen " and his Choral Fantasia, followed by songs by Li 3 zt
and Rubinstein, the remainder of the selection having consisted
of Wagner *8 “ Huldigung’s Mars oh,” and extracts from tin
operas of_ “Rienzi," “Die Meistersiuger von Niirnborg,"
"jt ' * n ’ : " jj Of the performances wc must speak next

and 4 ‘ Lohengrin,

The second concert of the Royal Albert Hall Amateur
Orchestral Society is to take place this evening, having been
postponed until after the return of the Duke and Duchess of
Edinburgh.

princess’s.

The action of theatres during the week ha3 been rather irra-
nular. Among other changes an important modification haj
been made in the cast of Mr. Willss play, “Mary Queeu 0 f
Scots,” at the Princess’s—Mr. Charles Harcourt havin x
surrendered the part of Gliastelard into the Lauds of a youn^
actor named Mr. Forbes Robertson, who appeared in it for the
first time on Thursday week. He made a very favourable
impression, and indeed showed many qualifications for the taffL
His elocution is veiy satisfactory ; besides, he displayed much
emotional power, aud imparted patho3 to the delivery of ni\ny
of the speedier. His style and appearance are remarkably self,
possessed, and he seizes upon special points with a readiness
which testifies at once to his sensibility and judgment. The
acting of tho entire play is, as we have already said, greatly
improved* Much controversy has arisen as to the manner ia
which the author has drawn the character of John lvnox. For
the rigid historical outline he has substituted a more tbwiag
and varying form of individuality, admitting natural emotioj
to mitigate the severity of the general ecclesiastical character.
For a moment the great preacher and reformer yields to the
fascination8 of the beautiful queen; and it requires all the force
of bis piety to rectify his position. Many critics have thought
this treatment wrong, because it subjects a religious hero to
laughter. Certainly, this appeared to be wrong upon the first
night ; but on Thursday, so hearty w*03 the response on the
part of the audience, that it was impossible not to feel that the
Judgment of the dramatist was justified by tho result. The
scene is evidently not intended to be a Berioua one, but to
serve as a comic relief to the monotony of the prevailing
Bentiment. Mr. Rousby has, at last, seized on the idea; and
lie and his wife carry it through with great spirit. The hen**
was full, and the applause vehement.

ADELPHI.

Mr. Chattcrton lias taken to the Adelpbi, and bezios
his management with a revival—reproducing, ou Saturday, 1
Frederick Reynolds’s dramatisation of “Elizabeth; or tae
Exiles of Siberia," which title he has adopted for the play,
instead of “The Exile," the title under which it was original^
produced, in ISOS, at Co vent Garden Theatre. The new
relations established between the British and Russian Courfo

appear to have suggested the policy of reviving this old phy f - v
which is of the stage stagey, and possessed of no reiuarkabU

merit. It is a musical melodrama intended to be spectacular,
with dialogue of mi inilated ivirfc, whieh iu its day was con¬
sidered fine writing. Originally, the bc3t performers of Oovent
Garden, including Mr. Charles Young, Mr. Liston, aud Air,
Incledon, were engaged. Tin present revival is produce!
under the superintendence of Mr. Edward Stirling, and hi*
been carefully placed on the stage. The scenic artist, too, hu
been called into requisition, and Mr. F. Lloyds hai bsau
required to present u a with a set scene representing tlio rirsr
Neva at St. Retertburg, the frozen plane being occnpiod with a
capital band of ballet-skaters, attended by Mr. John Lcrvy,
who performs some national airs on the cornet-a-pirton, whioh,
ns Kun ian nHdodies, were immediately recognised The per-
fortuance is preceded, by a lively farcc/one of those funny coni-
pofeitioiiB of a light and agrecablo kind for whioh Mr. John
Uxei.ford is celebrated. It is called “A Waltz by Ardifci,"
and gives opportunity for the display of fcilcnLori iha part
of M 1 .TS Hudspeth, Air. Brittain 1 bright, and Mr. A. Glover.

As if these attraction were not enough, a billot divertisse*
me nt by hi its Kate Vaughan and her troupe, aud a comic
ballet, are added.

OLYHTIO.

Mr. Tom Trylor has contributed to the repertoire ol tho
Olympic a new and original play in four act*, whioh is likely to
make its mark. No doubt it is somewhat too long, anl certiiuly
over-elaborate in its general treatment; but it is cxcagdingly
clever, and cueh act is worked up to a striking climax, ao j
t hat the curtain falls to vehement tiyplxuse. Tha title is
“ Laciy Clancait}’; or, Wedded and Wooed." The theme ul
partly historical, portly fanciful, the two being blended into an *
agreeable unity. King William 311. is one of tho characters iu it,
and we mention this at once to notice the capital manner in
which Mr. Charles Neville makes up for the Protestant
Monarch and the skilful style in which he maintains the
assumption. Tlio part of the heroine, Lady Clancarty, is sup¬
ported by Miss Ada Cavcmliiih, who works hard to realise the
situations and express the various passions by which, in the
course of the dramatic aetk u, she L agitated { but her efforts
are aomewhat marred by the artificiality of her general
manner. This, perhaps, becomes more apparent by the
contraot which it manifests with. Alisa Fowler’s nataral
bearing, vlio, as 1.fitly Betty Noel, is porfe :tiy bewitch¬
ing iu her spontaneous oreativcueiS, the result simply
of heartfelt impulse and native feeling. Lady Olanoalfcy
and her husband were married when boy and girl,
and from that moment were separated, the breach between
them being widened in after years by the political disquietudes
of the time. Lord Clancarty, at the date of the play, is mb:A
up with the Jacobite assassination plot of 10i)G ; but, differing
from his companions, determines to expose the conspiracy with¬
out compromising them, and informs the King of tho fact.
However, he is so far implicated in their proceedings that he h
arrested by the brother of his wife, Lord Charles Speucar, soft
of tho Earl of Sunderland (Mr. YV. H. Y’ernon) ; and to tbi3
accident it is owing that he meets with Lady GUanearty, anl ifl
tins manner defeats a scheme for their divoreo whioh had bsen
concocted by Sir Charles. Ultimately, the Earl survives the

the King he is reinstated in liiu social position. Upon the
whole, the jday is well acted ; and we see no reaaon w’hy it
should not enlist the sympathies of a mixed audience for many

Captain Maync Reid i 3 about to enter upon a new field of
literature —th© Drama. Mr. Barnum, the American entf*i
punatr, has {engaged him to w’riie a series of plays founded on
bis own novels, to be produced simultaneously on the British
and American stages. Two of them, already written, have been
pronounced by critics to l>e equal in dramatic power to any
on the modem stage, while superior in picturesque effect.

The anniversary ball of the Caledonian Society of London
took place at Willis’s Rooms, yesterday week, and vra* at-
tended by over 400 ladies and gentlemen. Many of tho
gentlemen appeared in kilts, and most of the ladies wore

METROPOLITAN NEWS.

The Royal Academicians have elcefcel Mr.
E. M. Barry to be their treasurer, as sue :e«or
to Mr. Sydney Smirke.

The Duchess of Edinburgh lias cons ulted
to become a patroness of the annual ball in aid
of the funds of University College Hospital,
to be held at Willis’s Rooms on May 7.

The annual general meeting of the governors
of the Cancer Hospital was held at Bromptou
yesterday week—Mr. Benjamin Hood iu the
chair. The actual receipts amounted to
£10,550, while the expenditure had been some-
what reduced. The report stated that 770 new
patients had been received last year.

The Lord Mayor has consented to preside at
the annual festival in aid of the London CotlVc
and Eating Honse Keepers’ Benevolent Aasocia-
tion’s funds on Monday, April 13, at the London
Tavern. His Lordship will !>e accompanied by
the Sheriffs and Under-Sheriffs of Loudon and
Middlesex.

The weekly meeting of the London School
Board was held on Wednesday—Sir Charles
Reed, M.P., in the cliair. After a discussion
of over three bour3, the board came to the con¬
clusion that it was expedient to utilise the
board schools at certain nours on Sundays and
week-day evenings.

The Oxford University boat crew having de¬
clined the Lord Mayor’s invitation to diue at
the Mansion House on the evening of the day
(mi which the race is to bo rowed, nis Lordship
has been compelled to abandon hi3 idea of en¬
tertaining the two crews on that occasion. The
Cambridge men, it may be stated, had accepted
the invitation.

On receiving the freedom of the Turners’
Company, last week, Sir Samuel Baker gave a
valuable statement of his views on the pro¬
motion of legitimate trading and the suppres¬
sion of the slave trade in Central Africa. As
to the former, lie declared that the main requi¬
site was for the Africans to see an English
company, protected bylaw, dealing fairly.

’The* commissioners appointed by the Board
of Trade to inquire into u.n application by the
Imperial Gas Light and {Joke Coinjiany for a
revision of the scale of illuminating power and
price oi gas ha' e made their report. ‘The
maximum price chargeable will be at the rate
of 4s. 8d. per thousand cubic feet, an increase
oi lid. per 10(10.

The weekly return of metropolitan pauperism
shows that the total number of paupers last
week was 108,234, of whom 37,129 were iu
workhouses and 71,105 received outdoor relief.
Comp ared with the corresponding w eeks in the
yeais 1873, 1S72, and 1871, these figures show
a decrease of 12,254, 13,126, and 4 2,384 respec¬
tively. The number of vagrants relieved was
567, of whom 407 were men, 118 women, and
42 children.

The usual dinner to supporters of the Go¬
vernment in the House of Bears will be given,
on the ISth inst, by the Earl of Derby, at the
Foreign Cilice, the Duke of Richmond being

E re vented giving it by tho severe illness of the
'tickess (Dowager) of Richmond. Aftei* the
dinner the Countess of Derby will have an even*

iug party at 23, St. James’s-squarc.-Mr.

Disraeli has invited the Speaker and about forty
of the supporters of the Government in the
House of Commons to a Parliamentary dinner on
the game day.

The executive committee of the Bengal
Famine Relief Fund met, on Monday, at the
Mansion House, under the presidency of the
Lord Mayor. The opinion expressed in Lanca¬
shire that the famine is a Government question
with which private subscriptions cannot, and
should not, attempt to cope, was strongly
cc mbated, and a hope wa3 expressed that
Manchester and Liverpool would alter their
determination not to assist the How of private
charity. The fund amounts to more than
£42,000.

The Duke of Cambridge presided, on Tues¬
day afternoon, at tho annual meeting of the
National Rifle Association, which was held at
the Royal United Service Institution, "White* .
ball. The Duke congratulated tho members ]
on the continued prosperity of tho association, ;
and especially on the satisfactory result of tho
last Wimbledon meeting, tho receipts from |
which had increased their reserve fund to
£14,000. Expenses lmd, however, already re-
duccd that fund to £10.000. Some had j
doubted the propriety of having so large a
reserve fund ; but, considering the heavy ex- * 1
pc-nses to which tho association was put by the
changes contemplated at i ruble don, he

thoguht it was boat to be on tho safe side.
After some discussion the report was adapted.

There were 2536 births and 1578 deaths
recistered in London last week. After making
tire allowance for increase of population, tae
) uths exceeded by 75, while the deaths were
ji. 7 below, the average numbers m the cor-
i c*rending week of the last ten years. The
dcaihs referred to diseases of the respiratory
o ice ns and phthisis, which in the two pre- i
\ior 8 weeks had been 695 and 667, declined
last week to 609, txceeding.the average, how- I
ever by 27; 289 resulted H orn bronchitis, lod
fxoni phthisis, ami 100 from pneumonia. There :
vi re 02 deaths from measles, 25 from scarlet ■
fevtr, 2 irom diphtheria, 58 from whooping- 1
comh, 19 Rom different forms of fovor, 13
{rein diai thcra, and not odo from smallpox ;
tl us to the seven principal diseases of the
zymotic dais 177 deaths were referred, against
ItS end 213 in the two preceding weeks,
blearics and whooi>iug-cough are the only
two pic vailing epidemic diseases, and the
fatal cast: oi each showed a decline from the
numbers in iccent weeks.

Mr. Disraeli received, yesterday week, na
imposing deputation of members of Parliament,
merchants, and others who have set their hearts
on the nlnditiou of the income tax’. After he
had heard a large number of spokesmen, he
assured them that Government was giving the

matter grave consideration.-To urge upon

Government the justice and expediency of re¬
pealing the brewers* license duty, a numerous
deputation waited, on Monday, upon the Chan¬
cellor of tho Exchequer, who was accompanied
by Mr.W. H. Smith, M.P., Financial Secretary

to the Treasury.-The question oi abolishing

all taxes on food was on Tuesday brought
before Sir Stafford Northcote, Chancellor of
the Exchequer, by a deputation of the Free-
trade League, including members of the Work¬
ing Mens Club and institute Union, the Trades
Guilds of Learning, the Labour Representation

League, and other industrial bodies.-In an

interview with the Home Secretary the Li¬
censed Victuallers, on Tuesday, submitted a
draught of their bill for the amendment of Lord
Aberdare’s Act. The principal concessions
asked for by the trado are uniform hours of
closing—namely, from midnight till five a.ra.
throughout the country ; permission to enter¬
tain their friends after hours ; and the in¬
dorsement of licenses to be optional with the
magistrates.

SKETCHES OF THE

ASH ANT EE WAR, BY OUR

LOUD GIFFORD*S SCOUTS SETTING FIRE TO A VILLAGE.

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS, March 14, 1874. — 249

THE LATE CAPTAIN NICOL.

A

This excellent officer, killed in the battle with the Ashantecs
on Jan. 31, was one of a soldier family. His father was for
some years Adjataut-General of Bengal; and his uncle, General
Nicol, was a Peninsular hero. Captain James Nicol was but
young when he joined the 10th as it was on its way down from
Jcllalabad. He remained in that regiment some years, and then
exchanged into the 13th. About twelve months before the
Crimean War ho and his brother, of her Majesty’s G8th, sold
out; but when the war began the two brothers went, in their
little steam-yacht the Army and Navy, to offer what help they
could to their country. They set an example of enterprise and
usefulness. Their yacht was employed as a despatch-boat to our
own Army and afterwards to our allies. They had the satisfaction
of doing all in their power to alleviate the sufferings of our army
in that dreadful winter. On returning home Captain Nicol
obtained the adjutancy to the Hants Militia ; and it is well
knownjjhow admirably he trained that regiment. But it was
his great desire to get back into the regular Army ; and, think¬
ing he saw a way to this by joining the expedition to Ashantee,
he offered his services to Sir Garnet Wolscley. The General
Baw that Nicol was the sort of man he needed, and accepted
his services. Captain Nicol had had experience in dealing with
savages in Vancouver Island and Central America, and this ex¬
perience he brought to bear in West Africa. On his arrival at

Cape Coast ho was almost immediately sent down to the Opobo
river, where King Ja-Ja rules, and also to the territory of Oko
Jumbo. Captain Nicol displayed much skill in dealing with
these potentates. He played off their jealousy of each other,
and succeeded in raising from both a larger body of men than
was expected. He brought up with him the men supplied by
Ja-Ja, who did good service in the late campaign.

THE LATE CAPTAIN HUYSHE.

Among the good and deservedly esteemed officers whom their
country has lost in the Ashantee War is Captain George
Lightfoot Huyshe, Rifle Brigade, late Deputy-Assistant
Quartermaster-General on the staff of Sir Gamot Wolseley.
He died of fever and dysentery, at Prah-su, on Jan. 19.
Captain Huyshe was the only surviving son of the late
General Huyshe, C.B., of Guernsey. He entered the S3rd
Foot in 1856, and served with that regiment in Central India
during the mutiny; but, exchanging into the Rifle Brigade
on his promotion he went with his regiment to Canada
in 1S66, and, in 1870, volunteered for the Red River
Expedition, which he accompanied on the staff of Sir Garnet
Wolseley. He published a clever and interesting book,
which we noticed at the time, narrating the history of that
expedition, and showing the energy and skill which overcame
its difficulties. Captain Huyshe passed into the Staff College
in 1872, and in August last year, when it was determined to
Bend the expedition to the West Coast, being then in Germany
for the purpose of completing his knowledge of the German
language, he was invited by Sir Garnet Wolseley to join his
stall, and sailed with the head-quarters in the Ambriz on
Sept. 12. At the request of the General, Captain Brackenbury
and Captain Huyshe lectured to their brother officers
during the voyage out. Captain Brackenbury explained “ The
Relations between Great Britain and Ashanti, and the Causes
which led to the War ;" while Captain Huyshe gave informa¬
tion upon “The Topography of the Gold Coast.” These
papers have been published in a small volume, under the title
of “ Fanti and Ashanti,” which we have noticed. Captain
Huyshe was appointed Deputy Assistant Quartermaster-
General, and was engaged in the bush*fighting which resulted
in the retreat of the enemy beyond the Prah, and in missions
to the native chiefs. His most valuable service, however,
was in the survey of the country between the coast and the
Prah, in which work he engaged with the greatest energy and
zeal, penetrating with a slight native guard into the remote
parts of the bush, often close to and in the rear of the Ashantee
army. The map of the country was compiled under his super¬
vision. Captain Huyshe was well until a short time before his
death; but the malaria had no doubt entered his system long
before, and an excursion into a swampy region brought on the
final attack of dysentery and fever which resulted in his death
after a week’s illness. He died in his thirty-fifth year, deeply
regretted by all who knew him.

The Portrait is from a photograph by Mr. T. R. Williams.

NEW MEMBERS.

Mr. Philip Twells, of Chase-side House, Enfield, Middlesex,
who has been elected M.P. for the city of London, is the
youngest son of the late Mr. John Twells, of Darby House,
Sunbury, Middlesex, by Mary, daughter of Mr. Joseph Line,
of Alum Rock, Warwickshire. He was born in the year 1808,
and was educated, under Dr. Russell, at the Charterhouse, and

THE LATE CAPTAIN G. L. HUYSHE.

at Worcester College, Oxford, where ho took the usual degreef.
He was also called to the Bar at Lincoln’s Inn, in Easter tern,
1834. He is a magistrate for Middlesex, and a Commission* r
of Lieutenancy for the City of London. He iB now a banker in
the City, being a partner in the firm of Messrs. Barclay, Be van,
Tritton, and Co. He now enters Parliament for the first time,
having lost his election, though only by a few votes, when 1 e
offerea himself before for the City at the general election in
November, 18GS. He is well knowm in connection with London
charities and philanthropic associations. The return of Mr.
Twells and his two Conservative colleagues, Mr. Hubbard and
Alderman Cotton, involves the gain to their party of three seats
in the City of London.

Mr. William Gordon, the new M.P. for Chelsea and Kcl-
sington, is the youngest son of the late Mr. Alexander Gordor,
solicitor, of Old Broad*street, London, and of Wandsworth -
common, Surrey, by Harriett, daughter of the late Mr.
Hastings Elwyn, of Bath. He was horn in the year 1818, and
married, in 1852, Frances, second daughter of the late Mr.
John H. Puget, of Totteridge Park, Hertfordshire. He was
educated for the law, was admitted a solicitor in 1840, and at
his father’s death succeeded to an extensive English, Scotch,
and colonial practice in the City of London. The portrait is
from a photograph by Mr. A. Bassano.

LIFE BOAT SERVICES.

A meeting of the Royal National Life-Boat Institution was held
at its houso, Jokn-street, Adelphi, on Thursday week — Mr. T.
Chapman in the chair. Mr. Richard Lewis, the secretary,
having read the minutes of the previous meeting, the com¬
mittee expressed their deep sympathy with the relatives of four
poor men who perished from the Stonehaven life-boat last
Friday. She hail gone out to the help of the barque Grace
Darling, of Blyth, which had a signal of distress flying, but
which, on the approach of the life-boat, Bhe unaccountably took
down. The ship was ultimately lost some miles northwards,
and fourteen of her crew perished, one man only being
saved. The committee also voted £250 in aid of the
local subscription now being raised on behalf of the
men’s families, besides granting £3 to each man who went
off in the boat on £bat occasion. When we consider the fearfully
dangerous character of these gallant life-boat services, and are

reminded that upwards of 10,000 persons go afloat in these
boats every year, it cannot hut be cause for congratulation that
the loss of life is so small from the boats, over a year having
elapsed since the last fatal accident, while in twenty-two years
there have only been fourteen such casualties, with the loss
altogether of thirty-four lives. The silver medal of the insti¬
tution was voted to Captain C. Gray Jones, R.N., who has
recently been appointed one of its assistant inspectors of life¬
boats, in acknowledgment of his gallant services in the New¬
castle life-boat when she saved, under very dangerous circum¬
stances, four out of five of the crew of the schooner Rose, of
Youghal, which was wrecked in Dundrum Bay, during a south¬
easterly gale and in a heavy sea, on the 26th ult. The silver
medal of the society was presented to Mr. James Hill, cox¬
swain of the same life-boat, in acknowledgment of long and
brave services in the boat, and particularly on the occasion in
question. Double payment (£9) was made to the crew of

the life-boat in this case. Other rewards, to the amount of
£120, were granted to the crews of different life-boats for
services during the past month, when the boats had saved
altogether forty-six lives, and had contributed to the rescue
of three vessels from destruction. A reward of £5 was
granted to four men for putting off from Groom sport, Ireland,
and saving two other men. whose boat had capsized in a
westerly gale on Jan. 18. Payments to the amount of £1150
were ordered to bo made on different life-boat establish¬
ments. Various contributions .and legacies to the society were
announced. A new life-boat establishment was ordered to he
formed at Longhope, in the Orkney Islands. Dickinson
Ediiston, Esq., of West Boyd, had presented the cost of the
same to the institution ; and J. G. Modie Heddle, Esq., the
landed proprietor of the district, had liberally given the sito of
the boat-house, besides promising £20 a year for three years
towards the support of the new life-boat station.

ARRIVAL OP THE VICTORIA AND ALBERT YACHT AT GRAVESEND.

254

THE tt.TJTSTRATED LONDON -1SEW_S_

MAKUU 14, 1874

THE DUKE AND DUCHESS OF EDINBURGH.

RECEPTION AT GRAVESEND.

Their Royal Highnesses the newly-married pair, Prince
Alfred of Great Britain, Duke of Edinburgh, and his
bride, her Imperial Highness tho Grand Huchess Marie
Alexandra vna of Russia, came to their home in England on
Saturday last. It was March 7, the same day of the same
month that witnessed, eleven years ago, the arrival of Princess
Alexandra of Denmark to be wedded to the Prince of \Y ales.
As upon that memorable occasion in 1863, the landing-place
was the loyal town of Gravesend. Preparations for the con¬
venient and festive reception of the Duke and Duchess of
Edinburgh had been completed in good time. The weather, m
spite of a grey mist on the river, which cleared off most
opportunely at the moment of landing, was verv pleasant for
the time of year. All passed off well at Gravesend, and later
at Windsor, where the illustrious happy couple were met by
the Queen, their beloved and loving mother, with an affec¬
tionate embrace, and with joy in which the whole of the
English people are permitted to shar.e.

The Royal yacht Victoria and Albert, commanded by the
Prince of Leiningen, brought the Duke and Duchess of Edin¬
burgh from Antwerp. They had left Brussels on the Friday
morning, and embarked at two o'clock the same afternoon.
It was some minutes after half-past eight on Saturday morn-
ing when the Victoria and Albert, closely followed by the Vivid
and the Belgian Government steamer Leopold II., was seen enter¬
ing the Reach of Gravesend. At that time and throughout the
day the Duncan, 30 guns, Captain G. Watson, bearing the
flag of Vice-Admiral Hastings, Commander-in-Chief at the
Nore, lay at anchor in the middle of the river, below the
Terrace Pier. A short distance on the other side of the
pier lay tho Audacious, ironclad, 14 guns. Captain H. D.
llickley, and a little further on was the Penelope, twin-screw
corvette, 11 guns, Captain C. Wake. Near the men-of-war
were the tenders Wild tiro and Arrow. The instant the Royal
yacht came in sight a salute was fired from the guns at
Tilbury Fort and from those on board the ships of war. Tho
Duncan, the Audacious, and the Penelope manned yards and
dreBaed, the Cros 3 of St. Andrew being run up with the Cross
of St. George and the Union Jack. The tenders also displayed
an abundance of streamers and pennants. Having steamed
slowly up to a point exactly opposite the Terrace Pier, the
Victoria and Albert was secured to her moorings by nine
o’clock. She had both the English and the Russian flags
flying from her masthead.

The hour fixed for the landing was eleven o’clock. By half¬
past ten the Terrace Pier, the steps and landing-stage (deco-
crated by Messrs. Defries for the occasion), were lined with
privileged spectators. Among theso were the Earl and Countess
of Darnley, the Bishop of Rochester, Admiral Hastings, the
officers of tho 10th Regiment from Chatham, and several
members of the Russian Embassy, who were in full uniform.
Owing to the illness of the Countess de Bnmnow, his Excel¬
lency the Russian Minister could not attend, but General
A. Gorloff, Military Agent, Vice-Admiral J. Likhatchof, Captain
N. Kopitoff, Naval Attache, M. Davydow, First Secretary, and
M. Bartholomew of the Embassy, were in attendance ; also Mr.
J. W. Biggs, the Consular Agent for Russia, and the Rev.
Eugenio Popoff, of the Russian Chapel, Welbeck-street. Soon
after Prince Arthur, atteuded by Major Pickard and Lieutenant
Buchanan, arrived from London, and, driving down to the pier
with Earl Sydney, Lord Lieutenant of the county of Kent,
was received by the Mayor of. Gravesend, Mr. W. Lake. His
Royal Highness woro the uniform of the Rifle Brigade, with
the ribbon of the Garter. Lord Alfred Paget and Colonel
Lyncdoch Gardiner had also come down, and were rowed to
the Victoria and Albert. Immediately on his arrival Prince
Arthur, with his suite, was taken to the Royal yacht in one of
her boats.

The Duke and Ducliess'of Edinburgh had in the mean time
shown themselves on the deck of the Royal yacht, and had
bowed in acknowledgment of the greeting which saluted them.
Five minutes before eleven they again appeared from the saloon
or cabin, and descended the gangway of the Victoria and
Albert. His Royal Highness wore his uniform as a Captain in
the Royal Navy and the ribbon of the Garter. The Duchess
wore a blue dress, a white cloak, and a white bonnet with fern
trimming. Her parasol was white lined with pink. As they
descended the ladder the crew of the barge in w hich they were
to cross to the pier raised their oars aloft, and accompanied this
salute with three hearty cheers, which were taken up by the
sailors manning the yards of the ships of war and by the crews
of the merchant-vessels and tho numerous pleasure-steamers
and small boats around the Royal yacht. Conspicuous among
those steamers by the number of spectators who crowded their
decks were the Petrel, tho Princess Alice, and the Alexandra.
The Petrel had a band of musicians on board, and, in the in¬
tervals between the thunder of great guns w hich fired a salute,
the Russian National Anthem greeted the Grand Duchess.

The landing-stage and pier presented a splendid appearance
as the Royal barge was rowed towards it. They were faced
with rich draperies of scarlet cloth hung with gold lace, and
conspicuous along the front of the rooting of the piers was the
w ord “ Welcome 1” in letters of gold braid. A covered w-ay,
which, like the stago itself, was carpeted in scarlet, led up to
a platform, from which, at right angles, was another flight of
steps to a second platform overlooking the river. From this
platform the pier itself w f as approached by a third series of
stairs under a triumphal arch, with the inscription, in gold,
“Kent welcomes her Earl aud his Bride.” On tho landing-
stage Vice-Admiral Hastings and Major-General Erskine, com¬
manding at Chatham, surrounded by their respective Btaffs,
w-ere w siting to receive the Duke and Duchess.

Arrived at tho head of the last flight of steps, the Duke
and Duchess were met by tho Mayor and his daughter, Miss
Beatrice Lake, Mr. Standish O’Grady, tho Recorder, the Tow-n
Clerk, and the Bishop of Rochester. Miss Beatrice Lake had
the honour of presenting her Imperial Highness with a beauti¬
ful bouquet, composed of lilies of tho vallev, white camellias,
sprays of spiraea, and maidenhair fern, held in a beautifully-
w'rought gold handle. The design of the latter is Hymen’s
torch set with pearls, tho arms of Gravesend ou one side and
thofio of Kent on tho other side ; acorns, oak-leaves, and tho
rose, shamrock, and thistle were chased upon the holder, on
which was tho Duchess’s monogram, wdth the words—“Pre¬
sented by the Ladies of Gravesend to the Duchess of Edinburgh,
March 7, 1S74.” The flowers were supplied by tlic Clarence
Nursery at Gravesend. The bouquet wtis surrounded with a
beautiful garland of Honiton lace, designed aud manufactured
expressly for this occasion by Mrs. Treadwin, of the Cathedral
Yard, Exeter.

Another word must be said of the abundant decorations of
tho pier. Countless flags were hung on the roof and at eaoh
side of the building, so as to hide from the most observant
eyes the gas-piping aud tho iron girders: hanging baskets of
flowers depended from the centre, and the lamps were wreathed
with red and white oamcllias and an edging of green leaves.

2 y suoh arrangements the passage of then Royal Highnesses
ong the Terrace Pier to tne ground outside—where tho 7th

H»s,ars who were to act as escort under Major Harbord’s
command, and a detachment of Koyal Marines, were drawn up
awaiting the coming of the Duke and Duchess was re

Pi- by a brilliant company
to which were now added the members of the suites who had
accompanied the Royal couple from St. Petersburg. Amongst
these were easily recognised Colonel the Hon. W. J. Oolvijto*
controller and treasurer to the Duke of Edinburgh; Captain
Arthur Balfour Haig, R.E., equerry to the Duke; and the
other English officers and Court officials who have been attend¬
ing his Royal Highness during his marriage visit to the Russian
capitaL Some Russians, besides those whose names have been
already given, mingled in that crowd of uniforms and gay
dresses—amongst them Prince Bariatinsky and M. Ozerow, in
attendance upon the Duchess of Edinburgh—lvhil&t m the
press of d : 8tinguished persons who came next were Earl
Sydney, Viscount Uolniesdale,the Earl and Countess of Darnley,
the Bishop of Rochester, Captain Bedford Pim, M.P., Major
Rickard and Lieutenant Buchanan (in attendance upon Prince
Arthur), Lord Alfred Paget and Colonel H. Lynedoch Gardiner
(in attendance upon the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh). The
Recorder, tho Town Clerk, and tho members of the local com¬
mittee had pushed to the front or entrance-end of the pier.
Here was to take place the presentation of the following
address :—

“To theik Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess
of Edinburgh.

“ May it please your Royal Highnesses,—We, the Mayor,
aldermen, and burgesses of the borough of Gravesend, desire
most respectfully to tender to your Royal Highnesses our
sincere congratulations upon your marriage, fraught as the
event is with happy omens of lasting peace and prosperous
intercourse between two great nations, and to oiler to the
daughter of the Emperor of All the Russias, the bride of one of
our beloved Princes, a hearty welcome, which, given here on
the threshold of England, will be repeated with national
fervour throughout the length and breadth of tho land. As
inhabitants of this ancient maritime borough we are grateful
that the happy fortune of locality has been tho means of
securing for us the honour of addressing to your Royal High¬
nesses these first words of congratulation and welcome, and of
affording us another opportunity of testifying our loyalty and
devotion to our beloved Queen and the Royal family. We
pray that to the happiness of your union may be added the gift
of long life and manifold blessings from tho Giver of all Good.”

As previously intimated, the address was not read, but
simply presented by the Recorder, who took advantage of the
brief halt afforded to address a few words of -welcome to their
Royal Highnesses, which the Duke graciously acknowledged.
No time was, however, lost in speech-making, and after
receiving the address the Duke and Duchess, accompanied by
Prince ArthurandEarl Sdyney, entered the first of the five Royal
carriages in waiting, and, the Mayor’s carriage leading the way,
drove slowly off towards the South-Eastern railway station;
the fine band of the 1st Administrative Brigade of the 2nd
Kent Artillery, which was stationed near the first of the
triumphal arches close to the pier, playing M. Riviere’s
arrangement of the “ Anglo-Russian March,” the first part of
which consists of a few bars of “God Bless onr Sailor Prince ”
and the second part of the Russian National Anthem.

The procession of carriages was followed by the 7th Hussars,
the Royal Marines, and Royal Artillery, who had been stationed
in front of the Terrace Pier. From this spot to the railway
station the Royal pair passed under triumphal arches with
Russian words of welcome on one side and the English on the
other—for instance, “Welcome!” “Long may you live!”
“ Welcome to England ! ” “ Happy may you lie ! ” “ The Lord
preserve and bless you!” “May you live in our hearts!”
“ Wishing you every happiness ! ” “ Long life and happiness
attend you ! ” Other inscriptions equally appropriate appeared
on every house and above every “grand stand ” along the lino
of route. Near tho Terrace Pier all the houses were draped
with crimson and gold cloth. At the Pier-road began the series
of Venetian masts wffiich, with one interruption between that
and Berkeley-crescent, were continued at intervals all along the
route. Here seats were arranged according to the rating of
the inhabitants, and here was tho first of the triumphal arches,
draped with heavy bullion fringe, 12 in. long, and folding into
curtains, relieved by masrive gold cords and tassels. Trophies,
beautifully painted by heraldic artists, were ranged at each side
of the arch, with the names of the Royal couple, the motto
“May they be happy ! ” and the “ A.M.” monogram in the
centre, round which was twined the blue ribbon of the Order
of the Garber. The principal building in Harmer-street, the
Institute, had its four pillars wrapned in yellow and black, the
Russian colours, with the arms of Russia and England.

The Royal couple were heartily cheered on their way from the
Thames to the railway station. The w-hole distance was kept
by the Royal Artillery, Marines, Engineers, and the Kentish
Artillery and rifle volunteers—these last numbering between
1200 and 1400, under the command of Colonel Anncsley, of
tho second battalion 10th Regiment; whilst about forty boys
from the Chichester training-ship, and an equal number from
the Royal Naval School at Greenwich, stood between the
troops. Passing under the arch near St. James’s Church, the
procession had but a very short distance to traverse ere it
reached the railway station. At the entrance to this was another
arch, much lighter in appearance than either of the others.
Here their Royal Highnesses arrived at a quarter past eleven.
The station was decorated within and without ; the room
through which the Duke and Duchess passed was like a small
conservatory, crowded with large flowering plants, amongst
winch were some very fine scarlet azaleas, the contributions of
the Earl of Darnley, Lord High Steward of Gravesend, Sir J.
Lubbock, and other gentlemen.

The special train which was in waiting consisted of a very
handsome saloon carriage, which has been constructed for the
Great \> estern Railway Company, 3ix first-class carriages, engine,
and brake. It was in charge of Mr. Edward Wat kin, sou of Sir
Edward \\ fftkm, chairman of the South-Eastern Railway Com-

KMfc. ^ tin A to receivo the Roy* 1 party were Sir E.
YVatkm Mr. Ceckbiirn, traffic manager, Mr. Shaw, manager,
and Mr. Brady, chief engineer ; several other ladies and gcntle-
mcn, including a number of officers, being on the platform.
Tailing the Mayor to him, the Duke thanked his Worship for
the reception which had been given to the Duchess and him¬
self, his Royal Highness adding, “I am glad to see Gravesend
once more, and I am grateful to you all for the welcome which
you have Riven mo. I never saw Gravesend look so well before. ”

was the farewell greeting to the Royal pair.

RECEPTION AT WINDSOR.

The arrival of their Royal Highnesses at Wind**
punctually at one o’clock, was a very interesting scene. nl
Queen’s station of the Loudon and South-Western Railway
been carpeted and decorated. The Mayor and Corporation
Windsor and the directors aud head officers of the South.
Western and Great Western Railways were in attendance
Tho 79th Highlanders formed a guard of honour outside.
half-past twelve some members of the Court began to arrive*
among these wero the Duke of Cambridge and Prince and
Princess Christian, with Count Gleichen. The Queen, with the
Prince and Princess of Wales, arrived from the Castle a very
few minutes before the train«entered tho station. Her Majesty
wore a white miniver jacket with black spots, a black bonnet
in tho trimming of which was some sprinkling of white, and
carried a grey parasol, which was not out of season that day
so bright was tho sunshine. The Princess of Walea wore a
Russian sable over a green dress, with a green feather in her
bonnet. Princesses Christian and Beatrice were similarly attirji
but the latter wearing a light-blue bonnet. Princess
was in mourning for the Dowager Duchess of Argyll, qqj 0
Prince of Wales wore the uniform of a general officer,
Leopold was in Highland drees.

The train came into the station amid tho cheers of
the company, and her Majesty stepped from the waiting-room
to the platform. Close behind her Btood the Prince and Phueoj
of Wales, Prince and Princess Christian, PrincesB Louis*,
Princess Beatrice, Prince Leopold, the Duko of Cambridge, »ui
tho two eldest boys of the Prince of Wales. The train wu
skilfully driven, so that the door of the chief Saloon carm*
came to a stop opposite the door of the Royal waiting-rooinTlf
had hardly halted before the Duke of Edinburgh jumpj
hurriedly out, embraced his mother, and turned to assist ha
young wife. No sooner had the Grand Ducliess set foot on
the platform than a glad smile lighted up the features of the
Queen, who advanced to meet her, took her in both arm* before
she could make any courtesy or formal greeting, and kissed her
repeatedly on both cheeks with the w annest affection. This
embrace was returned with equal warmth of feeling. When
the Queen had thus welcomed her daughter the Prince and
Princess of Wales kissed the Grand Duchess. They had Utdjr
parted from her in Russia. But Princess Helena, Prim-fa
Louise, and Princess Beatrice were sisters now seen for the lint
time. It was their turn now to salute the Grand Duchtw.
Prince Leopold took the like privilege, and then the
Grand Duchess, stooping down, gave a hearty embrace
to her husband’s nephews, Prince Albert Victor and Prince
George, who held up their cheeks to be kissed, with a childlike
wonder and simplicity. Other greetings w-cre exchanged with
other members of the Itoyal family. The Royal cortege,
without much loss of time, was marshalled for the return to
the castle. There were eight carriages, each drawn by four
horses. In the first carriage sat tho Queen, having the young
bride on her left, and opposite her the Duke of Edinburgh. Next
came tho Prince and Princess of Wales, Princess Christian,
aud Prince Arthur in Rifle uniform, who had travelled from
Gravesend in the Royal train. Princess Louise, Princess
Beatrice, Prince Leopold, and the Duke of Cambridge were
in the third carriage; in the fourth, the Duchess of Wei •
liugton (Mistress of the Robes), Princess Wiaaemsky (Lady in
Waiting to the Grand Duchess), Prince Christian, and the
Marquis of Lome. The other carriages contained the members
of tlic Royal suites, among whom were Prince Vladimii
Bariatinsky (Lord in Waiting to the Grand Duchess), with
General Count Ozeroff, Aide-de-Camp, and M. Kaloschms,
Private Secretary to her Imperial Highness. Prince Edward
of Saxe-Weimar rode on horseback.

The eight Royal carriages, escorted by a detachment a f tho
2nd Lifo Guards, passed the guard of honour of the 79fchHol¬
landers at the station, and proceeded slowly up the strata ot
Windsor, which were lined by the Grenadier Guards, the
and the Berkshire volunteers, which last-named corps mus¬
tered nearly 700 strong, under the command of Colonel Loyd*
Lindsay and Sir Paul Hunter. The streets were profusely deco¬
rated, aud displayed many Russian flags. On the wall of that
building, a part of tho Castle which w T as occupied by tho choris¬
ters of at. George’s Chapel, was a huge yellow banner, inscribed
with the music and words of the Russian National Hymn.
The carriages passed through Thames-street, and instead of
turning up Castle-hill, which would have been the shortest way,
the route was extended along High-street, past the TownhaU,
and so to the Queen’s entrance at the top of the Long Walk,
Here the band of the 2nd Life Guards was stationed, and the
slope up to the castle from the iron gates leading to the Long
Walk was kept by a detachment of the same regiment. The
strains of the Russian National Anthem were heard onco more.
A battery of the Royal Horse Artillery fired a Royal salute as
the procession entered the park. The carriages passed up tho
slope to the south front of the Castle. Outside George lY.’i
gateway, and on each side of it, the Eton boys were gathered,
and they gave the Grand Duchess three hearty cheers as she
entered the gateway of the Royal castle.

Passing under the gateway while the guns in the Long Walk
were still firing the iioyal salute, tho carriages turned to the
left, and went round the gravelled quadrangle to the Queens
entrance. This great square of well-kept gravel, walled rouud
on every side by grey w alls and towers, is one of the most im¬
posing features of the Castle. At the Queen’s entrance the great
officers of the household and others waited to receive her
Majesty—the gentlemen, wearing levde dress, being on the
right; and the ladies, in morning indoor dress, on tho left. The
gentlemen comprised the Marquis of Hertford, the now Lord
Chamberlain ; the Earl of Beauchamp, the new Lord Steward;
Sir John Cow-ell, Master of the Household ; Sir T. Biddulpb,
Keeper of the Privy Purse ; Viscount Torrington, Lord in
Waiting; the Hon. Mortimer West, Groom in Waiting; al#
t“ e Dean of Westminster and the Dean of Windsor. 71®
ladies were the Marchioness of Ely, Lady in Waiting to tb®
Queen; Lady Caroline Barrington, Lady in Waiting to the
Princess of Wales; Lady Augusta Stanley aud Lady France®
Baillio, the Hon. Horatia Stopford, the Hon. Emily Pitt, and
tho Hon. Emily Lascelles, Maids of Honour.

The carriages stopped at the Queen’s entrance. The Dofc®
°‘ Edinburgh alighted and handed the Queen and the Duch? 5 *
of Edinburgh from the carriage. Her Majesty, doing the
honours of her Castle, gave her hand to her new- daughter,
and, preceded by the Lord Chamberlain and Lord Steward,
her Majesty, the Duchess, the Duke, the Prince and Princess
of Wales, and the other members of the Royal family, W*
lowed by the suite, ascended the staircase to the corridor.
Here the household were severally presented by the Queen
to the Duchess of Edinburgh. Their Royal Highuesses wore
then conducted to their apartments. The Prince aud Princess
of Wales hod rooms in the York Tower; tho Duke and
Duchess of Edinburgh were in the Lancaster Tower, with a
view of tho Long Walk from the windows, Prince Arthurs

quarters were in the Victoria Tower, those of Princess Louise
and Lord Lome in the Augusta Tower. The Duke of Cam¬
bridge also slept in the Castle ; so did the Danish Minister and
Madame Blilow, the Dean of Westminster and Lady Augusta
Stanley, the Duke and Duchess of Abcrcorn, the Duchess of
Sutherland, the Earl and Countess of Derby, the German
Ambassador, and the Belgian and Saxon Ministers.

In the evening the town of Windsor was brilliantly illumi¬
nated. The principal objects of attraction were the South-
Western Railway Btation and the Townhall. The Eton boys
hung out Chinese lanterns from every window. At eight
o’clock there was a display of fireworks in a field at Clewer, a
short distance from St. Mark's School. This being over, a
monster bonfire "was lighted. It comprised some thousands of
faggots, with tar and paraffin barrels, and continued to burn for
sorno hours, lighting up the country for miles around. The
fireworks and bonfire were provided by Mr. Ridmrdson-
Gardner, M.P. for the borough.

ROYAL INSTITUTION LECTURES.

VEGETABLE GROWTH.

rrofessorW. C. Williamson, F.R.S., began his second lecture
on Cryptogamio vegetation, on Thursday week, by adverting
to the latter part of the previous lecture, in which he described
cell-cleavage taking place equally in all directions, producing
cell masses, as in large fruits and in many fungi. He then took
as the type of another growth the nostoc, in which the pro¬
toplasm of each cell is subjected to successive cleavages, all
made in the vertical direction and parallel to one another;
hence the result is a moniiiform group of small protoplasms
arranged in a single linear series, liko beads on a string. This
form of cleavage gives rise to linear growth, such as is seen in
all cellular hairs of plants, and in all twig like and tall rccd-
likc structures, in which the tendency to longitudinal growth
exceeds lateral ones. The genus Goniura w-as selected as tlio
third type. There the cleavage of the protoplasm is always in
the vertical direction, but each successive fission is made ulti-
mately at right angles to the preceding one; hence the single
protoplasm is first divided into two, then into four, next into
eight, and then into sixteen. The clusters of cells being all
arranged in one plane and spreading out equally in every
direction, at the same time displaying a frequent tendency
to arrange themselves in clusters of four, as is well seen in
ulva linza and many other sea* weeds. This is the group which
produces all thin leaflike expansions. Volvox globator was
next examined. Here the first cell-cleavage is a vertical one,
followed by a second, also vertical, but at right angles to the
last, producing four protoplasms. The next cleavage being a
horizontal one, we obtain eight protoplasms, arranged in two
parallel layers. These being soon separated by an intervening
fluid, a cavity is formed, which continues to increase. All sub¬
sequent cell-cleavages being vertical to the surface of the
organism, the horizontal one not being repeated, we obtain a
hollow sphere, composed of a single superficial layer of cells,
illustrating all those spherical structures, such as secreting
cavities and fruit capsules, in which cellular tissue incloses
a hollow cavity. Professor Williamson then described
tho desmide®, unicellular alg®, with an hour-glass con¬
struction in the centre of each, giving them a bilateral
symmetrical form. The union of the protoplasmic contents
of two such cells was shown to produce large spores which
give birth to young desmids ; and a second mode of reproduc¬
tion was described in which each half of the plant simul¬
taneously develops a small bud, that grows until it equals in
size tho corresponding half of the parent plant, 'which now
V)ecome8 divided along the middle line, thus producing two
desmida where but one previously existed.

SUPPRESSION OF THE SLAVE TRADE ON THE WHITE NILE.

Sir Samuel White Baker, F. R.S., began his discourse at the
Friday evening meeting on the 6th inst. with comments on the
gradual suppression of the slave trado by European Powers, the
recent extinction of slavery in the United States of America,
and tho encouragement of the traffic by the Mohammedan
Powers, slaves being necessarily required by a sensual and an
indolent people. In support of this statement he referred to
the recently published work of Dr. Schweinfurtb, “ The Heart
of Africa/’ Proceeding to the subject of his discourse, he said
that the slave trade is encouraged by the governors of Egyptian
provinces not only on account of the tolls they receive to
permit it, in spite of its prohibition by the Khedive, but also
because they believe it to nave been authorised by Mohammed.
The difficulties, however, attending its total suppression aro
not insurmountable; and this great end will eventually bo
attained, chiefly by European influence. If the Khedive were
to replace the present corrupt Egyptian officials by honest and
able Europeans throughout the Soudan and the Central
African provinces he would not only save the country
from utter ruin, but would stamp out the slave trade.
Sir Samuel then described tho evil consequences of over¬
taxation and misgovernment in fertile flourishing districts,
witnessed by himself in 1870, in his journey from Berber to
Khartoum. The Governor of the Soudan left his territory to 1
the care of God, and increased the taxes. In one year ho sent
to tho Khedivo £100,000; but the next year the peasantry
were totally ruined. Many abandoned the country and many
took up the slave trado. At Khartoum Sir Samuel found a
Government expedition intrusted to the command of a well-
known slave-hunter, and he learnt that the Soudan Govern¬
ment, for about £15,000 a year, licensed persons who were
nominally traders, but really brigands, to pillage, massacre,
and enslave as much of Central Africa as they could overrun.
He then read the text of the orders he himself had received
from the Khodive, dated May 19, I8C9, decreeing the organisa¬
tion of “an expedition to subject to our authority the countries
bituate to the south of Gondokoro, to suppress the slave trade,
to introduce a system of regular commerce, to open to naviga-
tion the great lakes of the Equator, and to establish a chain of
military stations and commercial ddpAta distant at intervals of
three days’ journey throughout Central Africa, accepting Gon¬
dokoro as the base of operations. . . . The supreme com¬

mand is confided to Sir Samuel White Baker for four years.”
Sir Samuel said that the Khedive, unfortunately, differs
from his subjects. He is far from a fanatic, being in¬
telligent and experienced; *but his active energy is always
working against a passive resistance. The natural advantages
of the country are very great, and enormous advantages would
accrue from the encouragement of industry and commerce, and
the establishment of railway communication, the electric tele¬
graph, and the other accompaniments of civilisation. The
people also possess intelligence, honesty, and other good
qualities. In reference to the character of the Egyptian
officials, he stated that, although he had himself suppressed
the slave trade, yet he found afterwards that the Governor of
Fashoda was receiving toll for the passage of slaves; but ho
added that the Sultan of Darfur, a fanatical Mohammedan and
a slavedealer, had recently been defeated in an attack upon the
Dyjyptian frontier, and that, should this lead to his territories
being conquered by the Khedive, a most fatal blow would
thereby be given to the Central African slave trade. In con¬

clusion, in reference c his recent expedition, Sir Samuel said
that, though he had boon the active instrument, great credit
and honour are due to tbo Khedivo of Egypt, as the first
Mohammedan who has dared to strike at the root of this great
abomination. Among tho illustrations of the lecture was a map
of Africa in relievo by Mr. H. F. Brion, containing Sir Samuel
Baker’s corrections. George Busk, Esq., F.R.S., the treasurer
and vice-president, was in the chair.

MOHAMMEDANISM AND CHRISTIANITY.

Mr. Bo3worth Smith began his fourth and last lecture, on
Saturday last, by some remarks on the Mohammedan ideas of
a future life ; the ordinary misconceptions of Christians respect¬
ing it; the way in which, in all religions, the circumstances of
this life naturally influence the idea of the other; the stern
reality that it was to Mohammed himself, although no one can
suppose that it supplied the motive by which he and his fol¬
lowers were inspired. It was, ho remarked, another miscon¬
ception that Islam was so successful because it was so sensual; as
if any religion could owe its permanent success toifcs bad morality!
Mohammed dealt with existing institutions, much as Moses
had dealt before him. He did not make the manners of Arabia,
and was too wise to think ho could unmake or remake them all
at once. He strictly limited polygamy and mitigated its worst
evils. Polygamy was no more a part of Islam than slavery -was
a part of Christianity ; they had simply coexisted. Mohammed
could not abolish slavery, but ho proscribed the slave trade and
raised the condition of the slaves themselves to something like
that of domestic servants. Tho orphan and the poor were the
subject of his peculiar care; nor did he neglect the lower
animals. What legislation has of late years tried to do in¬
effectually here in that respect had been long done in the
East by the Prophet of Arabia. By forbidding gambling
and intoxicating drinks, Mohammed anticipated the vacil¬
lating efforts of the European governments of the nineteenth
century. Could it not, then, bo said that Mohammed had
done something of Christ’s work, even if he had re¬
verenced Christ less than, in fact, he did ? Passing, then,
to what he called the most important question of the lectures,
Mr. Bosworth Smith maintained that Islam ought not to be
despised or ignored by Christians. It was, at all events, an ap¬
proach to Christianity. It was strictly monotheistic ; its heroes
were also those of Jews and Christians; it was in its essence
a spiritual religion, allowing no priestcraft and no idolatry;
finally, it looks back upon Christ with reverence only less than
that of tho truest Christians. If it were asked, why, then, did
Mohammed reject Christianity, three reasons might be given : —
Mohammed’s imperfect knowledge of Christ; his dislike of
certain dogmas, in which, rather than in a holy life, he w T as
driven to believe that Christianity consisted ; and the failure of
such Christianity as he knew to overthrow idolatry in Arabia.
The lecturer quoted fully from the Koran in support of these
views. Then, turning to the question whether Islam had kept
back tho East, as it was often said, by hindering the spread of
Christianity, he pointed out that Christianity had moved west¬
ward almost immediately after its birth, and it had never taken real
hold of the East. The Christianity of the East in Mohammed’s
time was incurably corrupt. Islam had been a grand forward
movement originally, and had been a higher life to untold
millions Bince. It ill became Christians to complain of Islam
for doing the good which they had failed to do. Islam was the
religion of tho pastoral or semi-pastoral world, and was not
suited for countries of a wholly different nature. The
lecturer illustrated his view by referring to tho aspects of
Islam in different countries, such as Spain, Africa, Turkey,
Persia, and India. The contrast, however, between Christianity
and Islam is most striking. In morality, in intellectual pro¬
gress, in the method of drawing near to God, in the Ideal life
of all, tho difference is vast and incommensurable. It must he
remembered that the East itself is unprogressive, and that all
religions are liable to corruption, and stand in need of revival.
Islam is not incapable either of revival or of reform, as shown by
the Wahhabe© movement in Arabia and in India, and by what
is going on now to the east of Anatolia. It is an important ques¬
tion how far the introduction of Western manners can improve
Eastern countries as regards, for instance, the form of govern¬
ment, polygamy, and slavery. The lives of such men as
Livingstone are tho best methods of introducing such civilisa¬
tion and Christianity as the East can receive. Islam has
yielded something, and might yield more, to both, if miscon¬
ceptions were removed. Christians have something to learn
from Mohammedanism, even as it is. Islam has still a mission
in the world, and may be modified, even if it cannot 1® sup¬
planted, by Christianity. Mr. Bosworth Smith concluded by
a general review of Mohammed’s character and by assigning to
him the place •which he conceived might be fairly claimed for
him in universal history. (Wo are intormod that this interest¬
ing course of lectures will bo published shortly by Messrs.
Smith and Elder.)

WEIGHT AND PRESSURE OF THE ATMOSPHERE.

Professor Tyndall, in beginning his fourth lecture on Tues¬
day last, said that the history of physical science furnishes
ample illustration, not only of the variation of minds of dif¬
ferent individuals as regards tho investigation of nature, but
also differences in the same individual as regards the power of
grasping different ideas of nature. Goethe, with his endow¬
ments, might have become a great biologist, but he had no
wer to grasp the stricter physical sciences. He never could "
mado to understand Newton; and his work on colours
proves that he misunderstood him. . . . Aristotle, also.
Jacked the firm grasp of the physical investigator; yet, so
prodigious were his achievements in collecting and classifying
all the knowledge of his time, that, even in physics, where he
had no right to authority, natural or acquired, he was looked
upon as finished and infallible; and, in consequence, verbal
emptiness, wearing the air of wisdom, satisfied the world for
more than two thousand years. ... In Archimedes we
havo a strong contrast to Aristotle ; yet it was not till the time
of Galileo that the truths enunciated by him were re-
enunciated. The Professor then gave additional experimental
illustrations of tho Archimedean principle. Some dry sewing-
needles, dropped one by one into water, floated, and the water
all round was shown to be depressed. This depression, which
is due to surface repulsion, must be added to the size of the
needles if we wish to know the quantity of water displaced.
When this is done, the weight of the needles is equal to that
of the displaced water. After proving this by other examples,
remarks were made on the walking of insects on water, the
floating of ice, and similar phenomena. The Professor
then proceeded to the study of the gaseous form of
matter, commencing with air. After referring to Galileo’s
jeering the Aristotelian notion that “Nature abhorred
a vacuum,” by saying that she did so only up to 32ft., when
the Florentine gardeners could pump water no higher, Pro¬
fessor Tyndall illustrated Torricelli’s idea, that the force which
lifts the water in the pump is the pressure of the air on the
water outside the pump ; and therefore a column of 32 ft. or
33 ft. of water balances the atmosphere. Torricelli, more¬
over, concluded that, with a heavier liquid than water, a
column of less height would be supported—which he proved
by means of mercury, which is thirteen times heavier than

water. This view was further corroborated by the experi¬
ments of Pascal, who fouud, by taking the tube up a church
spire and causing it to bo carried up a mountain, that the
column of mercury gradually diminished in height as tho
elevation to which the tubo was raised increased. Professor
Tyndall then, by a series of experiments, proved that tho air
has weight; and also explained the construction and action of
the air-pump, tho Magdeburg hemispheres, the boys’ leather
suckers, and other interesting examples of atmospheric pressure.
Finally, he noticed the adhesion of two of Sir Joseph Whit¬
worth’s perfectly true planes placed upon each other, which he
demonstrated to be due to molecular attraction, and not to
atmospheric pressure, since the adhesion continued in a vacuum.

At the next Friday evening meeting, March 20, Dr. W. B.
Carpenter, F.R.S., Registrar of the University of London, will
give a discourse on the Temjperature pf the Atlantic.

FINE ARTS.

An exhibition of drawings and sketches by William Simpson,
who has gone round the world as Special Correspondent
of the Illustrated London Hews, will open to the public, at
Burlington Gallery, 191, Piccadilly, on Monday next, the lGth.
Many of tho sketches aro in black and white, and are the
original material for the illustrations which have appeared in
this paper of the Imperial Marriage at Pekin, and other En¬
gravings of China and Japan, as well as of tho Modoc war on
the frontiers of California.

The private view of the exhibition of the Society of Lady
Artists takes place to-day (Saturday), at the new gallery of the
society, 48, Great Marlborough-street. The exhibition will open
to the public on Monday next.

The report of the Artists’ General Benevolent Institution
for last year has been issued. The income of the year amounted
to £2738, and the sum of £1970 was distributed among ninety-
eight applicants. The annual dinner is to take place on May 9.
Sir Henry James will preside.

Tho annual exhibition in connection with the Manchester
Academy of Fino Arts is open. The exhibition is said to bo of
more than average merit.

A portrait of the lato Lord Derby, in his robes as Chancellor
of the University of Oxford, by Mr. Desanges, has been pur¬
chased by subscription for presentation to some public gallery.

Mr. Barlow’s engraving, after Mr. Millais’s testimonial
portrait, of Sir James Paget is ready for distribution.

Mr. George Ellis, of St. John’s-wood, has presented a col¬
lection of sixty-five engraved portraits of historical and artistic
interest to the Guildhall Library.

Mr. Field Talfourd, the portrait and landscape painter, in
oil, water colours, and crayons, died suddenly on the 5th inst.
He was tho younger brother of Mr. Justice Talfourd, and was
born in 1815.

At a special general meeting of the Royal Institute of
British architects, on Monday evening last, the recommendation
of the council that, subject to her Majesty’s sanction, the Royal
gold medal of 1873-4 bo awarded to Mr. John Ruskin, M.A.,
the Slade Professor of Fine Art at the University of Oxford,
was adopted.

-----“'-“w viirtu uuc vyuimui ui iue

Royal Academy have had the subject of architectural drawings
for their exhibition before them, and have decided for the
future, as far as possible, to give a preference to those drawings
which are evidently the actual productions of the architects
who exhibit them. It has also been decided that geometrical
elevations and detail drawings of interest are admissible.” Such
steps as these on the part of the Academy should tend to ren¬
der the architectural portion of the exhibition at once more
interesting, genuine, and instructive. At the same time, it is
the ideas, not the autographic rendering, which should be the
first consideration. Some architects have a very taking and
picturesque knack of setting out with pen or pencil entirely
stale and even worthless ideas.

Our readers are aware that by an order of tho Court of
Chancery the whole of the huge stock of engravings after the
works of Turner left by the painter have had to be sold. In
pursuance of this order the fourth portion was sold at Messrs.
Christie, Manson, and Wood’s on four days of last week. It
comprised “ Ancient Carthago; the embarkation of Regulus ”
engraved by D. Wilson, 1840. Eight artist’s proofs fetched
from £11 to £12 103. each. The “Ancient Italy,” engraved by
Willmore. Four artist’s proofs realised from £9 to £13 each.
The “Modern Italy,” engraved by W. Muller, 1840. The
artist’s proof of this sold for £13 10s. “Heidelberg,” engraved
by T. A. Prior, 1846. Several unfinished proofs brought from
£8 to £12. “Oxford,” engraved by E. GoodaU; “Venice”
engraved by W. Muller, 1837, a touch proof of which fetched
£8 5s. ; “Mercury and Adonis,” engraved by Willmore. The
trial proof of the last sold for £12, and no less than fifty proofs
before letters fetched from £6 to £10 each. Besides these
there were a great number of impressions of “The Field of
Waterloo,” engraved by Lewis ; “ The Deluge,” engraved bv
Quillet; “Fishing-Boats off Calais,” engraved by Davison •
and “ Boccaccio : the Bird-cage,” engraved by Quillet.

Two fine portraits by Rubons, representing members of the

The report of the last Autumn Exhibition at Liverpool sets
forth that the number of admissions by payment was 31,679,
besides 534 season tickets. The number of works exhibited
was 1057. The sales amounted to £7402 17s. 6d. ; £780 10s.
being expended by the Corporation in pictures for the per¬
manent Gallery of Art now in course of formation. The total
receipts amounted to £1566 Is. 3d., leaving a profit of £466 Is.

In announcing, last week, the munificent gift to the town
of Barnard Castle made by Mr. John Bowes, of Streatlam
Castle, Durham, of his house, park, and collections at Barnard
Castle, we erroneously included in the gift tho fine collection
of Japanese art-objects exhibited last year at the Liverpool
Art-Club. The almost matchless collection of Japauese
enamels, lacquer, bronzes, and porcelain to which we alluded
has been formed by Mr. James L. Bowes, of Streatlam Tower
Liverpool, and still remains in that gentleman’s possession. *

Mr. Forbes Robertson, who (in place of the actor of the
original cast) is playing Chastelard to Mrs. Rousby’s Mary
Queen of Scots at the Princess’s, and whose spirited and
pleasing impersonation .of the young lover is winning greater
favour for Mr. Wills’s drama than was at first accorded to it
is likewise a very promising pupil in the painting school of the
Royal Academy. < He is the son of a well-known art-critic.

An institution called the Austrian Athenaeum is established
at Vienna to serve as a permanent memorial of the late Inter¬
national Exhibition in that capital. The Athenaum is founded
for the instruction of mechanics and working men after the
plan of the Conservatoire des Arts et Metiers in Paris. 1 urge
numbers of articles left by exhibitors at the Exposition have
been transported thither, together with a quantity of models
and other instructive appliances, and a library of 3412 volumes

THE MAGAZINES.

The CornldU makes up a very pleasant number. There is
much homely rustic pathos in “Far from the Madding
Crowd ; ” and the dainty prettinesa of some passages of the new
tale, “A Rose in June,” is worthy of the title. The chief
interest, however, attaches to a new member of the charming
group of semi-political stories of modern French society, which
have long formed so agreeable a feature in this magazme. The
subject is this time Bonapartism, so long the butt of the author s
satire, but now, in its adversity, exhibited on the only poetical
side it offers, the invincible fidelity of a veteran officer con¬
trasted with the fickleness of courtiers. The little tale is as
lively in incident as rich in feeling. Dr. Johnson s is not the
character to lend itself readily to a new theory, and the able
essay on the great lexicographer is inevitably little more than a
repetition of accepted conclusions. A more liberal treatment
of household dependants, especially as regards intellectual
culture, is powerfully advocated byja well-known writer,[easily
identified by the initials ; while another essayist extols the
present by comparison with 44 the unpleasant past,” and con¬
tends that the England of to-day is more comfortably off than
ever before. It may be feared that the present is, nevertheless,
unpleasant enough to large classes of the community. Feng-
Shui ” is an account of a curious Chinese superstition, an eccen¬
tric sort of natural philosophy based on an imaginary conformity
between terrestrial and celestial things.

Macmillan is by no means interesting this month. 44 Castle
Daly,” indeed, maintains its character as a racy Irish tale ; and
Mendelssohn’s letters to Hiller are very pleasant, though too
technically musical for general readers. The other contri¬
butions, however, either relate to subjects of minor importance
or prejudice an important theme by heaviness of treatment;
the latter is especially the case with an attack on the system
of competitive examinations at the Universities—which, coming
from Mr. Sedley Taylor, is probably as weighty in one sense
as it is certainly heavy in another.

Blackwood commences a new fiction of admirable promise,
44 Alice Lorraine.” The opening, introducing the chief per¬
sonages at the important moment of consulting the prophecy
of an astrologer, appears imitated from the Bimilar scene in
44 Guy Manncring,” but is hardly less provocative of curiosity.
“Disorder in Dreamland” and “The Two Valentines” are
successfully continued ; a notice of Lord Stanhope’s history of
Queen Anne’s reign displays abundant knowledge; and it
would be unreasonable to quarrel with Blackwood ’a natural
exultation at the most recent transactions of Queen Victoria’s.
The concluding part of “The Two Speransky” tells the story
of the exiled and recalled Minister’s daughter, with a specimen
of her power as a novelist, which seems to have principally
consisted in pathos.

Fraser , in a leading article in “The Turn of the Tide,”
accounts for the recent Liberal defeat on tho ordinary hypo¬
thesis of a general indisposition to further organic change.
Current events lend considerable interest to a paper on the
multifarious employments of Indian civilians. “Stone Monu¬
ments of Sardinia ” discusses the mysterious purpose of the
nuraghe or prehistoric towers found over the island, which are
explained as places of refuge in time of war. The tall, slender
towers of Pembrokeshire churches might have been added to
the examples adduced in support of this view. 44 The Teutonic
and the Celtic Epic” is an elaborate comparison between the
Tain Bo Cuailgnc, an ancient Irish poem as yet unpublished,
and tho “Nibelungon Lied.” The superiority of tho German
poem inall essential particulars is most marked. An essay on the
German lyrical poetry of the Middle Ages in its relation to the
contest between the Pope and the Emperor shows that the
minnesingers, like all poets and prophets in all countries and
ages, had their full share of antipathy to tho sacerdotal spirit.

The Fortnightly is hardly so interesting as usual. The most
important article is one by Mr. F. Harrison on the recent
elections, which he construes as indicating desertion of tho
Liberal party by the bulk of the middle class. This is certainly
to some extent correct, and the effect must sooner or later be a
great increase in the political activity and influence of tho
working classes. Mr. F. VV. Newman’s political essay, as
usual with him, is more valuable for the inspiriting influence
of its lofty moral tone than for its practical suggestiveness ;
and the grievance which Mr. A. H. Beesly has discovered in
tho Scotch game laws, though no doubt a real one, is as yet
mainly of local interest. Mr. Morley has imbibed the
eloquence of the author under his review; his notice of Victor
Hugo’s “ Ninety-three ” is a remarkably fine piece of writing.

The Contemporary is replete with varied interest. Sir Henry
Thompson replies to Dr. Holland’s strictures on his proposal for
tho cremation of corpses, and explains its modus operandi. It
has already, he states, been tried with perfect success on the
bodies of large animals. Mr. Fitzjamcs Stephen, in a paper
entitled “ Caesarism and Ultramontanism,” politely explains to
Archbishop Manning why the State must decline to take cog¬
nisance of his pretensions to spiritual dominion. The contrast
between the hard, matter-of-fact logic of the lawyer and the
poetical mysticism of the priest is very entertaining. The
prospects of the Catholic Church are hopefully discussed by
Air. St. George Mivart, whose position, however, we can hardly
understand, as he rests his hopes for the future of his Church
on a condition of mutual toleration condemned by that body
itself. Professor Huxley’s masterly Aberdeen address is here
presented in a permanent form ; while in another part of the
jReview the speaker is summoned by Dr. Bastian to show cause
why evolutionists should not be held logically bound to em¬
brace tho doctrine of spontaneous generation also. Mr.
Holyoake’s essay on the elections contains a powerful rebuke of
a section of the Liberal party for its ingratitude to Mr.
Gladstone.!

In Scribner 1 s Monthly we have to note a beautifully-illus¬
trated description of the romantic mountain districts of North
Carolina, a full account of the recent 44 Credit Mobilier ”
candal, and a pretty poem by R. H. Stoddard.

The Transatlantic contains its usual copious selection from
the leading American periodicals. One of the most interesting
papers, from the Tribune, is an account of the recent remarkable
geological explorations in the Far West, which have thrown
great light on the fauna, flora, and physical constitution of the
North American continent during the tertiary period. At this
time tho centro of the country was occupied by a chain of
lakes, and the climate was much milder than at present. A
review of Bagehot on the English Constitution, from the North
American, powerfully calls attention to the unsystematic and
hand-to-mouth character of American legislation as one of tho
principal dangers of the future.

Old and New is varied and entertaining, but contains
nothing of special note, except Mr. Trollope’s new fiction
which is published simultaneously with its appearance in
England.

“Patricia Kemball” Is continued with much spirit in
Temple Bar . A family bereavement, consigning the heroine
to the charge of an uncongenial guardian, introduces a change
of scene, and thus leads up to a very graphic description of an
English watering-place of the ordinary class. “ The Cycle of
English Song,” having conducted our national poetry from in¬

fancy to its old ape, in the eighteenth ccntuiy, winds up with the
Cheerful “suxanfe that the subsequent outburst mByrons era

must be regarded as a re-birth, the lerwgilium

very prettily transla^d-t^o B(Jctions o{ t }, 0 present instalment
of Mr. Fraucillon’s “Olympia,” in the Gentleman a Jlf^<Kine,
is strongly contrasted—tho first part being laid m Knghsh
woodlands, the second in Buenos Ayres. Both are admirably
sketched, and tho style is very highly finished. Mr. Hepworth
Dixon, in a vigorous article on the conflict between lope anu
Emperor, apparently enunciates the questionable proposition
that right is necessarily on the side of might, but afterwards dis¬
covers that might agrees with right in siding;with the Emperor.
This proposition would be almost more distasteful than the
former to the conductors of the Month, who seem to have
never mastered the legal maxim respecting 44 coming into court
with clean hands.” It is really too ridiculous for an institution
which denounces the claim of a nation like Italy to self-
government to quarrel with restrictions imposed upon her own.
The Tichborne case imparts additional interest to Mr. V alton's
paper on “Stonyhursfc Life,” which will be found pleasant
reading.

Tinsley relies principally on its trio of novels, of which Mr.
M'Carthy’s “ Linley Rocliford ” is the most remarkable. The
Argosy preserves its well-marked individuality. “ Waiting for
the Cars ” is an especially good story. In London Society wo
have to notice Mr. Wilson’s parallel of Rachel and Macready,
Mr. O’Shaughnessy’s graceful 44 Angora,” and the fullest
English criticism on the younger Dumas we have yet seen, from
the pen of Mr. Keningale Cook. Mr. Sala is, as usual, the
chief contributor to Belgravia, Mrs. Craik’s novel and the
record of the Challenger’s cruiso continue prominent among the
attractions of Good words, which also commences two series of
papers of excellent promise—Professor Balfour Stewart on solar
research and Mr. Allardyce on the natives of Calcutta—and
has a charming little poem, 44 A Street Idyll,” by C. Brooke.

We have also to acknowledge the Victoria Magazine, tho
Monthly Packet, the St. James’s Magazine, Cassell’s Magazine,
Once a Week, and the Irish Monthly.

THE KOYAL NAVY WEDDING GIFT.

Of the marriage gifts presented this week to her Royal Hiek
ness the Duchess of Edinburgh, none will be more costly an 1
beautiful that that given by her husband’s comrades
gallant and patriotic service, the officers of tho Royal Navi
and Royal Marines. It is a magnificent set of gold
manufactured by Messrs. Williams and Hill (late Catchpot) 7}
Oxford-street. There are sixty pieces, forming a comp^
dessert service for twenty-four persons, which includes a cectr*!
piece and ^pergne, four seven-light candelabra, a loving.^
a pair of claret-pitchers, a pair of sugar-vases,
large oval fruit-stands and four round, twelve salt-cell^
with salt-spoons, and other articles. The epergne i 9 \
tripod, raised upon a hexagonal plateau, which bears the
following inscription:—“Presented to H.I.H, the
Duchess Mario Alexandrovna of Russia, on her marriage with
Captain his Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh, R \
K.G., by tho officers of tho Royal Navy and Royal Marines."
The <jpergne is three feet high. At the base are the Royal
Imperial anus of England and Russia, with the tnoneurum
44 A. A.” and a crown. Tho friezes are all different GroW Ue
masks, a figure of Neptune, and another of a water-sy^ph
adorn this part of the work. The vase, which ia inteDd’ed to
contain a fruit-trophy or a bouquet, is divided into
on which are various masks in relievo; three winged dragon!
form the supports. Not less elaborate in design ar* 0 ^
seven-light candelabra, on which are a number of minute fiprw
consisting of animals and other snbjects ; three goats' heads, or
44 masks,” appearing under the figures of the Seasons, wind
form the apex. Each capital is wreathed with flowers t^l
doves ; on the capitals of the pillars are fruits and flowers,
amongst which are golden toads ; the stems of the piilnn are
adorned with cherubs and beetles ; fruits, flowers, and matki
predominate at the base. Tho claret-pitchers, while they are
copies of Cellini’s works, are of the well-known Hebe form,^
have for handles a Bacchante and the infant Bacchus. Ib

the Royal arms and various marine emblems.

without any legal disqualification. The occasion vus
naturally turned to account by the Imperialists of
France for making an imposing demonstration* For
some time past preparations have been in pro¬
gress for the due celebration of the day. From
all parts of France persons representative of all grades
of society, and more particularly those of official
rank during the reign of the late Emperor, deen^A
that they could best testify their respect for the memory
of Napoleon HI., and most emphatically express their
adherence to the cause of the Empire in connection with
tho Frincc Imperial, by making a kind of pilgrimage to-
Camden House and paying their homage of loyalty to
him on the day of his coming of age. Accordingly, the
assemblage assumed proportions of some considerable
magnificence, both in regard to the rank and to the num¬
bers of those who joined it. The programme to which
they conformed their proceedings was simple enough,
but it answered its purpose. It constituted, in t’lew,
a recognition by France of the claims inherited by m
son of the late Emperor to her devotion, aud it elicited
from him a declaration that whenever the nation might
desire his presence and his service they would bo fraeJy
placed at its disposal.

The conduct of the young Prince during liis reside ice
in this country, so far as it has been permitted to cune
under the notice of Englishmen, has been such as could
hardly faiLof awakening their sympathy and winning
their respectful esteem. He has taken Ills place in what
is to him a community of foreigners with that reticence
of manners, and that entire regard for law, which show
that he appreciates the hospitality extended to him*
Unobtrusive, quiet, studious, in feeling and in behaviour
a thorough gentleman, he has devoted himself with
laudable industry to tlie acquisition of those attainments
which would be deemed by his fellow-countrymen best
adapted to the supreme position to which he aspires.
So far as materials for judgment are before us, he has
not attempted to embarrass the English Government by
straining the liberty conferred upon him as a visitor in
launching any conspiracy against the existing order of
things in France. Of course there has been no secret
in regard to his pretensions and his hopes. The rights
of the Napoleonic dynasty centre in him. It would he
unnatural if he were to be insensible to the gKindeur of
Ins position. But, under the advice of his friends, lie has
wisely made his own prospects in regard to the throne
dependent upon the suffrages of the French people. He
will do nothing to disturb existing law and order in the
country which he hopes one day to govern. He is not
about to tlirust liimself prematurely upon tli 9 will of
France. He demands, however, on her behalf that she
should have a fair opportunity of making her wishes
known by means of a plebiscite; and, whenever that
method of collecting the opinions of the people shall he
resorted to, he confidently anticipates that the name of
Napoleon will receive an overwhelming majority of the
suffrages of the people.

It is hazardous to predict what may or may not coma
to pass in France. The history of the last half century
has brought under review such frequent, and we m iy
add violent, alternations of popular feeling in that
country that we may well be cautious of pronouncing
any change impossible. If we had not been thus warned
W’e certainly should have been inclined to regard a rc*

B*»LStruction of. the Empire as one of the least likely
.■vents -which the future could produce. The surrender
.It .Sedan seemed at the time to have utterly and forever
Bestroyed all those illusions wliicli Frenchmen had che¬
rished in connection with the .Second Empire. That
Horrible catastrophe laid bare to their view the hidden
Springs from which the life of the Imperial Go vermin n
I?ad been derived. There was no natural, honest, or
11 storing vitality in it. Its official mechanism, corapli-
Hatcd as it seemed, served but to answer the purposes of
If' HhbuSfe and eorruijtion. The system had puffed up the
pninglory of the nation until nothing appeared tobe beyond
f each of its fancied capabilities. The Franco-German
ar, into which the Government had plunged—mainly,
ft was suspected, with a view to the furtherance of
flynastic objects—rudely disclosed to the nation the hol¬
lowness of its official system, when it was too late to
■t uiedy the evil. All France at that time reprobated the
i-iupire as an untrustworthy pretence. “Nous sommes
| rahis I ” was the universal cry. Imperialism scarcely
liurst let its voice be heard. The National Assembly at
I Bordeaux almost unanimously pronounced its condemna¬
tion. Ostensibly, it has even now but a slender following.
Blepublicanism of some shade or other triumphs over it
in every election in which their respective claims are
■wrought into competition; and the probability seems to
B e that, if the ruling authorities at Versailles were to
prrange for taking a plebiscite to-morrow, the Prince
[Imperial would find liis services declined.

And yet the ceremonial of Monday last may perad-
iventure foreshadow a momentous fact. Time and events
pnay possibly obliterate from the memory of Frenchmen
pile miseries inflicted upon their country by two exposi¬
tions of Imperial regime. Certainly, such a result
m ould appear to sober-minded politicians to be among
R he last to be expected. But, if anything can prepare
the way for it, the fatuous proceedings of the present
T rench Government are not unlikely to do so. France
kiesires above all tilings a quiet and prolonged breathing
time, and there is no saying what her people will
lin t put up with rather than be caught in another
revolutionary cyclone. But the disfranchisement of
r.ot less than a third of the electoral body may
fjc expected to test with great severity the forbear-
pi ice of the people, and may even, if carried into effect,
Lifter all miscarry as to the chief intention it is meant to
[subserve. But who can tell what effect these impolitic
projects may Lave upon the popular temper? And,
bnasmucli as the name of Napoleon is closely associated
[with universal suffrage, who will be bold enough to say
It hat the attempt of the Monarchical party to tamper with
the latter may not, by contrast, shed a glare of attraction
upon the former? The hopeless dreams of one party are
kernel lines turned into realities by the inconceivable
i lollies of another.

THE ASHANTEE WAR.

Our news of the termination of this most successful military
eliterpriee is now complete. Sir Garnet W olseley, who wa3
received with a festive triumph on his return to Cape Coast
Castle, has sent a last batch of the subordinate commanding
oliiceis’ despatches to the Secretary of State for War. The
troops have returned to England and have been met with the
popular welcome and deserved praises they might fairly expect.
The Tamar troop-ship, with the 23rd Royal Welsh Fusiliers,
tl,c Royal Artillery, and Royal Marine Artillery, arrived at
. Poitbiiicuth at three o’clock in the morning on Thursday last.
The Salination, with the 42nd Highlanders, and the Him a-
lay a, with the Riile Brigade, were daily expected. Our
Special Artist, Mr. Melton Prior, arrived in London this
week. In a very few days we shall publish, apart from the
ordinary weekly issue of this Journal, an Illustrated
Narrative of the Ashantee War, expressly written for the
occasion, and furnished with a large number of the Engravings,
from our Special Artist’s Sketches, which have appeared
during the autumn and winter months. Meantime, a few
more are presented in this week’s paper, and wo shall give
others of equal interest with the least possible delay. A
Portrait of Major-General Sir Garnet Wolseley is in preparation
for cur next.

The subjects of five Illustrations in this dumber of our
Journal are the following incidents witnessed and sketched by
our Special Artist—the 42nd Highlanders lighting at the battle
of Amcaful, on Jan. 31 ; the scene in the city of Coomassie, on
Feb. (»*, when the streets were cleared by the 2s aval Brigade,
previously to setting the town on fire ; the troops crossing the
river Ordalq which was dangerously swollen by the rain3, on
their first day’s return march from Coomassie ; and two minor
incidents—namely, a night alarm in the camp, and the recep¬
tion c f a train of carriers with army stores.

With reference to the gallant behaviour of the 42nd High-
bnderR (Black Watch) at the battle of Amoaful, with the
23rd (Welsh Fusiliers) and Bait’s field artillery, comprising the
fort most column of attack, under command of Brigadicr-
Gcr.eral Sir Archibald Alison, C.B., we quote tho following
account by an eye*w T itncss :—

‘‘The 42nd and the eighty men of the 23rd Regiment, now
up w ith ns, were undor Sir Archibald, and to them was in-
trusted the task of forcing the enemy’s position in tho direct
front. As the Ashantee tactics are always the same, and con¬
sist of a trap to draw' on the enemy in front while they push on
one cr both hisllanks through the dense bush, preparations had
been made for this. Half the Naval Brigade and Russell’s
regiment were to clear and protect the left, while the other half
oi the Naval Brigade and Wood’s regiment jguarded the right.
The Riile Brigade w T as retained as a reserve in the General’s own
ha lies. Raitu two guns, undor his own orders, were with Sir
Archibald, and a rocket was with each of tho flanking parties.
These airangexnents, however, were some time in developing
themselves, because of the slow progress which alone can be
made in moving out from a narrow path. The first
line of Sir Archibald Alison s column in front was sent out in
skirmishing order through the bush, and had soon to be sup¬
posed by tho second, and not long after by another
company. The Engineer labourers moving with them cut
down the bush partially to aid their advance. The resistance
olfc icd to them by the Ashantees, completely concealed in the
bush, cud knowing the ground perfectly, was even at the first
considerable; but it was not till a marshy piece of ground
about SCO yards from Insarfu was reached that the really serious
opposition v. as experienced. By this time five companies were
already skirmishing, tho slugs wero dropping thick and fast,
and there was a moment or two when the men's nerves
were certainly in a very ticklish condition. There is some¬
thing very unpleasant about shots that come suddenly out,
sometimes singly, sometimes in loud and continually repeated
buistp, from places that a moment before gave no indication
of human hio ; but when, in addition to thi3, the grouud
became so marshy and slippery that in the movement forward
cvciy step serve to disclose the position of the men to tho per¬
fectly-concealed foe, the situation was trying. Fortunately,
the enemy w ere pitching in slugs, and not bullets, or scarcely a
man of the Black Watch would have lived to tell tho tale. As
it was, there were few of the officers who did not receive a
scratch* Major Baird was seriously wounded whilst in active
com u.:md of the regiment ; and, although few of the officers’
Wounds were ota disabling character, several were by no means
pleasant. Major Macpherson, among the number, was hit in
several places. The greater part of the 105 wounded men of
the regiment were struck during the pause and delay, whilst
it seemed impossible to subdue the fire of the Ashantees,
aud equally impossible to advance over the marshy ground
and thiough tho denso bush with such a rush as was necessary
to moke them give W’ay. It was at this critical.moment that
Captain Bait’s gun—there was no room for two—came into
action on the direct line of advance. Tho shells, fired at that
fclioit distance with deadly effect, soon forced the enemy to
clear the road in the froqt, and as they gave way upon their
ow n left upon the road the 42nd pushed them on from that point
along the whole line, and they began to yield. About fifty
yard s or more Luther up, Bait a guns again came into action
ugaiiict the enemy, who lmd at once taken up a fresh position,
as tho bush prevented the Black Watch from forming quickly.
Again the enemy perforce gave way before the shells along the
road ; again the 42nd took instant advantage of it, and the
enemy rolled back. The men were now in such high spirits
that tho terrors of the bush were no more. Sir Archibald saw
that the moment had now come. He ordered tho pibroch to
sound. Down altogether, with a ringing cheer, went the
splendid regiment under his orders, straight at the concealed
foe, No enemy could have withstood such a charge when the
opportunity for delivering it hud fairly come. Away bolted
every Ashantee in front of them, awav down one hill and up
another, on which stood tho village of Amoaful itself. Along
the load Bait's little guns pelted after the enemy as often as
be tried to turn. XJp tho lull the guns went hardly less quickly
than the flying enemy, though each had to bo carried on by the
Boussas and placed again for action. By twenty minutes past
eleven the village was in our hands, and Rait had put toiling
Hulls after the retreating enemy as ho was racing along the
bread expame of ground which had formed a portion of the
AJ.nutee campL**

The return march from Coomassie was a most critical opera¬
tion. for the country is intersected with rivers, which were

v.ns this emergency that caused the hasty departure of Sir

FRANCE.

{From our Correspondent at Paris.)

Thursday, March 19.

The coming of ago of the Prince Imperial, on Monday last,
appears to have excited far more attention in England than in
France, where the event passed by almost unnoticed. Simply
in Corsica a solitary band paraded the streets of Bastia waving
tricolour flags, singing “ Partant pour la Syrie,” and shouting
“ Vive Napoleon ! ” One of the Paris Republican papers spite¬
fully attributes the little notice taken of the event over here to
the circumstance of the entire Imperialist party having crossed
the Channel on a pilgrimage to Chiselhurst. The Figaro leas
ill-naturedly remarks that a few thousand Imperialists carrying
addresses signed by a few hundred thousand others of their
way of thinking to the Prince at Chiselhurst will not suffice to
restore the Empire. Generally speaking, the Prince’s address
has been rather severely criticised by the Paris journals,
several of them even pointing out certain palpable faults of
style as proof positive that M. Rouher had no nand in it, and
that it must have been entirely the Princo’s own composition.

Queen Victoria’s letter to Marshal MacMahon notifying the
marriage of the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh 13 duly
recorded in the journals.

The Due de Broglie and his colleagues have experienced
another embarrassing check. The powers of the present muni¬
cipal councils expire on April 30 next, and to prevent auy
fresh elections, which would inevitably lead to the forced
resignation of the numerous “administrative commissions”
row" installed in different parts of the country, and would,
moreover, furnish the electors with a grand opportunity for
expressing their dissatisfaction of the present arbitrary regime,
the Cabinet has presented a bill for prolonging the nominal
duration of the. municipal councils until Dec. 31. This mea¬
sure is brought forward under the specious pretext of allowing
time for enacting a new' law upon municipal elections; but
the ti uth is that the Due de Broglie has no desire to change tho
present state of things. One third of the municipal councils
are suspended, administrative commissions occupy their place,
the Mayors chosen by the electors have been removed, and
Government nominees now guarantee “moral order ” through¬
out the country'.

The majority of the Committee appointed to examine the
bill are, however, opposed to it on the ground that it encroaches
upon the lights of the electors in maintaining the present
municipal councillors in office; while, to add to the discom¬
fiture of the Government, the Committee have chosen two ex-
Republican Mayors—M. Rameau and M. Tasain—aa their
president and secretary. This defeat of the Government has
natuially caused some sensation ; still it is impossible to say
which way the Assembly will vote when the question come 3 on
for debate. The Republicans had a majority in the Committee
on the project for prolonging Marshal MacMahon’s powers, but
were defeated when the matter was brought on for discussion.
The debate which took place in the Assembly yesterday will,
however, throw' seme light upon the future votes of the
<. bomber. The Assembly was crowded, M. Thiers being pre¬
sent. M. Challemel-Lacour explained the interpellation of tho
Left relative to the Due de Broglie's circular on the nomination
of Mayois. He discussed the terms of the bill prolonging
Marshal MacMahon’s powers, the statements made from time
to time by the Ministers, and the speech of Marshal MacMahon,
and he affirmed that the country desired the definitive estab¬
lishment of the Republic. His speech was frequently cheered
by the Left. The Due de Broglie replied, saying that the
Septcnnat had been confided to Marshal MacMahon in such a
manner that he could not be dispossessed, the object of the
prolongation of his power being to secure France seven ycM % s of
stability. M. Cazenove de Pradines, a Legitimist depaby, made
a statement respecting the Septennafc, viewed from a Monarchical
standpoint. The Due de Broglie said the Government did not
accept any responsibility for the previous speaker’s opinions.
M. Buffet then read two orders of the day presented respec¬
tively by the Extreme Left and Left Centre, blaming the
Government for the want of harmony between its words and
its acts. After some short explanations from M. Lacaze, of the
Left Centre, and M. Brisson, of the Extreme Left, the As¬
sembly, by 380 votes against 318, adopted the order of tho day
pure and timple, which had priority, giving the Government a
majority of 62.

llie deficit in the Budget now* amounts only to the bagatelle
• millions of francs, but where they* will be found it

is difficult to say. After M. Pouyor-Qaertier had carried his
amendment establishing the excise system at the sugar-refineries
from July 1, i$75, he brought forward a second proposition
rendering it partially applicable at once. This the Chamber
rejec ted by 456 votes against 113, after an animated debate, in
which several members of the Government took part. The
tuiirx u] on salt, proposed by MM. de Broglie aud Magno and
Feccndcd by tho Budget Committee, then came on for discus¬
sion ; but it was most vehemently opposed on all sides, and
eventually negatived by 410 voteB to 270.

V\ ith regard to the new* electoral law, laid upon the table of
the Assembly a few days ago, the Due de Broglie lias informed
the Committee of Thirty* that lie accepts the reporters* pro¬
posals m the main, and will only aak for one or two unim¬
portant alterations when the bill comes on for discussion. At
a recent meeting of the Committee a member proposed to dis¬
franchise the colonies, citing the example of England in support
of his suggestion ; whereupon M. Laboulaye at once silenced
him by observing that Great Britain lost her American colonies
through not allowing them to be represented in the British
Parliament.

Count de Keratry and other deputies from Brittany are
agitating for M. Gambetta’s prosecution on the ground that he
is lespousible for the deaths cf the unfortunate Mobiles who
perished from cold aud neglect at the camp of Conlie during
the late war. Numerous petitions having been sent to the
Assembly on the subject, a Committee has been appointed to
inquire into the matter.

Notwithstanding Count Moitkes impressive plea for a lari

rejected the clause of the Army Bill fixing the peace stands
at 491,000 men. The clause was supported by only four vote
An amendment was moved for making the permanent pov (
strength 385,000 men, but that also failed to win the favour
the Committee. Finally, the National Liberal members an i
gested to the Government 360,000 men as a sufficient numb!
to hold under arms. Tho system of annual voting, and of t*
years’ service, were, however, condemned by the Committal
and a scheme for strengthening the cadres was adopted. 0
these latter points the Government obtained signal victories.

THE INDIAN FAMINE.

The following telegram from the Viceroy, Calcutta, ('at id
the 14th inst, addressed to the Secretary of State for India,
has been received for publication :— 44 Official reporta from
Durbungah received, dated March 7, state that many of tho
lowest castes are suffering from actual famiuc. Three deaths
ficm starvation had occurred, two being children in arms and
< lie a man of sixty. Local arrangements for supply and dis¬
tribution of food were imperfect. Sir G. Campbell is on the
spot, ar.d reports by telegraph to-day that arrangements are
completing, but till further reports are received 1 shall feel
much anxiety about Durbungah sub-division—population,
3(i8,0CQ. Arrangements in progress for assuring daily visita¬
tion of each village by a subordinate officer. In Mudhoobunee
sub-division—population, 6ff,000—people are reported to be
much straitened, and large numbers employed on relief works,
hut no cases of actual starvation. Sir G. Campbell has visited
Seetamree sub-division—population, 718,000—aud reports by
telegraph that he is satisfied that famine is being met ‘there.
Large transport contract for supplying Northern and Western
Thrhoot and Chumpanui from Patna working very well. Contract
for supplying Eastern Tirhoot from Barb is not working satis¬
factorily, but last accounts show’ decided improvement. Rail¬
way from Barh to Durbungah progressing rapidly. Reporta
fre mother districts satisfactory, especially from Bhagulporo.
Wherever distress has arisen it has been relieved. No deaths
have occurred. I hope and believe that partial failure in
Eastern Tirhoot will speedily be remedied.”

The Calcutta correspondent of the Times, in a telegram
dated Sunday, says :— 44 Sir It. Temple finds Western Dinage-
poro very bail. Government rice is now sold at 12 lb. for a
shilling. Transport is expeditious. Banda and Jahnsi are dis¬
tressed.

A Reuters telegram from Calcutta, dated Tuesday, £ives a
numerical estimate of the distress existing in the famine dis¬
tricts. At Tirhoot the applicants at the relief works have in¬
ti eared in ten days from 20,000 to 100,000, and in Rung pore
they have multiplied to 400,000. The only deaths reported
from actual starvation were in Tirhoot.

At the meeting of the executive committee of the Bengal
Femme Relief Fund, held on Monday at the Mansion House,
it was announced that upwards of £50,000 had been received,
and it was decided to send £15,000, making £45,000 in all, to
Air. Scbalcl), the chairman of the Calcutta committee. The
Lcrd Mayor said he bad telegraphed to Mr. Schalch to the effect
that the subscriptions would possibly be iucreased in England
if the public knew how their money was being and would bo
spent, and had received Horn Mr*, Schalch tlio following
reply :—* 4 The season of suffering will be from April to .Sep¬
tember. The Government undertakes to save life. Neverthe¬
less, private charity is much required. The Government pays
the cost of establishments and doubles private subscriptions.
The whole funds are devoted to charitable relief. The labour and
ecoking tests are not insisted on. The Government is afcrain-
ng every effort, and private charity ought not to stand aloof.”
The Lord Mayor, after speaking of the steps taken at Salford,
Bradford, Leeds, Glasgow, and other places to raise subscrip¬
tions, said that the Marquis of Salisbury, whom lie saw last
week, and who had contributed £500, had expressed hearty
sy riipathy with the fund, believing that it would increase the
good and kindly feelings now existing between the people of
England and India. Mr. Disraeli-had also sent them a hand¬
some subscription, showing that he likewise sympathised with
their efforts to relieve the distress. His Lordship added that
Lcrd Salisbury feared that the famine would last until
November next. Lord Lawrence said the information he had
received from India agreed very much with that which had
appeared in the newspapers. The distress was gradually
extending and becoming more and more aeriou3 and grave.

A meeting was held in tho Manchester Townhall, on Wed¬
nesday, to express sympathy with the sufferers by the famine
in Bengal and to take measures for opening a subscription in
aid cf the Relief Fund. The meeting waa called by the Mayor
on a requisition presented to him by some of tho citizens ot
Manchester, who wero dissatisfied with the resolutions adopted
at the meeting held a fortnight ago in the Mayor’s Parlour.

wiie Mr. Hugh Mason, Mr. Hugh Birley, M.P., and Mr. Jacob
Flight. Mr. Hugh Mason, in moving that a subscription be
opened, stated his conviction that the working men of Lanca¬
shire, who weio grateful for what India had done during the
c(tton famine, were eager to join in the movement, and were
mdy waiting for the tignal. The resolution was nnaniinously
adopted, iii.il . committee was appointed to organise a subscrip-
tic n. About £l'OC 0 was subscribed during the meeting.

The A'ice-Cliancellor’s Court lias had before it the case of Dr.
Hayman, against whose notice of motion that the governing
body of Kugby School, their servants and agents, should he
restrained from dismissing tho p la intiff from his office of head
master, and from electing any person in his stead, a demurrer
is put in by the defendants. The learned counsel having con¬
cluded their arguments on Thursday, tho Vice-Chancellor said
lie could not, of course, decide such an important case at the
time, and if it w f ere not for the extraordinary circumstances
attending it, ho should desire considerably more time for con¬
sideration. However, the resolution to remove Dr. Hayinva
would take effect on April 7 next; and, as the Court of
Chancery rose for Easier on Tuesday week, if the judgment
was delayed it would be impossible for the parties to take the
opinion of tho Court above, if they so desired it. He should,
therefore, deal with tho matter to the best of his ability, and
give judgment on Saturday (tliis day).

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS

MARCH 21,

PARLIAMENT.

The new Parliament met on Thursday for the dispatch of busi¬
ness, and was opened by Royal Commission.

The members of the House of Commons began to assemble
shortly after one o’clock, and at about two o clock, on the
summons of the Black Rod, the Speaker, attended by a number
of members, proceeded to the House of Lords.

The Lords Commissioners being in their places, the Lord
Chancellor proceeded to read

THE ROYAL MESSAGE.

My Lords and Gentlesirn,—

I recur to your advice at the earliest period permitted by
the arrangements consequent on the retirement of the late
Administration.

My relations with all foreign Powers continue to bo most
friendly. 1 shall nob fail to exercise the influence arising from
these cordial relations for the maintenance of European peace,
and the faithful observance of international obligations.

The marriage of my son, the Dnko of Edinburgh, with the
Grand Duchess Mario Aloxandrowna of Russia, is at once a
source of happiness to myself and a pledge of friendship
between two great Empires.

The war with the King of Ashanteo has terminated in the
capture and destruction of his capital, and in negotiations
which, I tiust, may lead to a more satisfactory condition of
affairs than has hitherto prevailed on the West Coa3t of Africa.

The courage, discipline, and endurance displayed by my
forces, both of the land and sea service, together with the
energy and skill evinced in the conduct of the expeditiou, have
brilliantly maintained, under the most trying circumstances,
the traditionary reputation of tho British arms.

1 deeply regret that the drought of last summer has affected
the most populous provinces of my Indian Empire, and has
produced extreme scarcity, in some parts amounting to actual
famine, over an area inhabited by many miUions. I have
directed the Governor-General of India to spare no cost ill
striving to mitigate this terrible calamity.

Gentlemen ok tjik House ok Commons,—

The Estimates for the expenditure of the coming financial
year will be forthwith submitted to you.

My Lords and Gentiemen,—

The delay and expense attending the transfer of land in
England have long been felt to bo a reproach to our system of
law, and a serious obstacle to dealings in real property. This
subject has, iu former Sessions, occupied the attention of
Parliament, and I trust that the measures which will now be
submitted for your consideration will be found calculated to
remove much of the evil of which complaint has been made.

You will probably be of opinion that the rearrangement of
the Judicature, and the blending of the administration of law
and equity, which were effected for England by the enactment
of last Session, ought, on the same principles, to be extended
to Ireland, and you will be asked to devote some part of your
time to the accomplishment of this object.

The greater part of these changes would be inapplicable to
the tribunals of Scotland ; but you will be invited, as to that
part of my kingdom, to consider the most satisfactory mode of
bringing the procedure upon appeals jnto harmony with recent
legislation, and, among other measures relating to her special
interests, a bill for amending the law relating to land rights and
for facilitating the transfer of land will be laid before you.

Serious differences have arisen and remonstrances been
made by large classes of the community as to the working of
the recent Act of Parliament affecting the relationship of
master and servant—the Act of 1871—which deals with offences
connected with trade, and of the law of conspiracy, more espe¬
cially as connected with these offences. On these subjects I am
desirous that, before attempting any fresh legislation, you
should be in possession of fall material facts, and of the precise

S iuesticns in controversy ; and for this purpose I have issued a
\oyal Commission to inquire into the state and working of tho
present law, with a view to its early amendment if it should
t>e found necessary.

A bill will be introduced dealing with such part3 of the
Acts regulating the Bale of intoxicating liquors as have given
rise to complaints which appear to deservo the interference of
Parlioment.

Your attention will also be directed to the laws affecting
friendly and provident societies.

All these matters will require your grave consideration, and
T pray that the Almighty may guide your deliberations for the
welfare of my realm.

The Address in answer to the Royal Message was moved in
the House of Lords by the Marquis of Lothian and seconded
by the Earl of Cadogan; and in the House of Commons the
Address was moved by Sir William Stirling Maxwell and
seconded by Mr. Callender,

The House of Commons resumed at four, when the swearing-
in of members was proceeded with. Mr. Gladstone entered
the House at half-past four, and was cheered by the Oppo¬
sition ; and Mr. Disraeli, who entered the House at a quarter
to live o’clock, was loudly cheered by his party. The Speaker
read a long letter which he had received from the Lard Chief
Justice of the Court of Q>ueen’s Bench notifying that Mr.
Wlialley, a membor of the late House of Common?, had been
committed for contempt of court and liued £250, a fine which
was subsequently paidL On tho motion of Mr. Hart Dyke, a
new writ was ordered to be issued for North Lancashire, in the
placo of Colonel Wilaon-Patten, now Baron Winmarleigh. A
now writ was also ordered for the Falkirk Burghs, in the place
of Mr. Ramsay, who at the time of his election was disqualified
in consequence of holding shares in a Government contract.

Mr. M Uullagh-Torrcns urged the necessity of increased
exertions to meet the famine in India, and concluded by
moving, by way of amendment, a paragraph conveying to her
Majesty the desire and assurance of this House to consider any
measure calculated to mitigate the present distress of the
jieoplo of India and to avert the calamity that threatens that
part of our Empire.

Mr. Gladstone said he should bo most willing to give his
support to any actiou on the part of Parliament that would
tend to alleviate the existing unfortunate state of things in
India. He then referred to the recent marriage of the Duke of
Edinburgh and the Imperial Princess of Russia as one of the
most auspicious alliances that had ever been formed by a Royal
family of England. Advcrtiug to the Ashantee war, ho
congratulated the House and the country upon the successful
termination of hostilities, which was at one time surrounded
with difficulties of a most appalling and dangerous character.
He then proceeded to justify his own conduct in advising her
Majesty to dissolve Parliament, and. seeing the result of^tkat
measure, in resigning office. In taking that course ho recog¬
nised the right of the country to be governed according to its
expressed desires and wishes, and not according to the

numerical Parliamentary' majority which the Minister at the
time might have possessed.

Mr. Disraeli then made a brief speech, in which he expressed
his satisfaction at the unanimity that prevailed in re3p3cb to
the Royal Speech and the Address.

Mr. M‘Cullagh-Torreu3 having withdrawn his amendment,
the Address was agreed to.

MR. GLADSTONE AND THE LIBERAL LEADERSHIP.

The usual circulars to tho Liberal members of both Houses of
Parliament reminding them of the opening of the Session for the
dispatch of business on the 19th were issued. They were signed
by Earl Granville and Mr. Gladstone. The following letter
by Mr. Gladstone to the noble Earl has been published :—

11, Carlton Hou3e-terrace, March 12.

My dear Granville,—I have issued a circular to members of
Parliament of the Liberal party on the occasion of the opening
of Parliamentary business. But I feel it to be necessary that,
while discharging this duty, I should explain wkafc a circular
could not convey with regard to my individual position at the
present time. I need not apologise for addressing these ex¬
planations to you. Independently of other reasons for so
troubling you, it i3 enough to observe that you have very lon»
represented the Liberal party, and have also acted on behalf of
the lato Government, from its commencement to its close, iu
the House of Lords. For a variety of reasons personal to
myself I could not contemplate any unlimited extension of active
political service; and I am anxious that it should be clearly
understood by those friends with whom I have acted in the
direction of affairs that at my age I must reserve iny entire
freedom to divest myself of all the responsibilities of leadership
at no distant time. The need of rest will prevent me from
giving more than occasional attendance in the House of Commons
during the present Session. I should be desirous, shortly before
the commencement of the Session of 1875, to consider whethor
there would be advantage in my placing my services for a time
at the disposal of the Liberal party, or whether I should then
claim exemption from the duties I have hitherto discharged.
If, however, there should be reasonable ground for believing
that, instead of the course which I have sketched, it would be
preferable, in the view of the party generally, for mo to assume
at once the place of an independent member, I should willingly
adopt the latter alternative. But I shall retain all that dcsiro
which I have hitherto felt for the welfare of the party ; and if
the gentlemen composing it should think fit either ti ohooso a
leader or to make a provision ad interim, with a view to the
convenience of the present year, the person designated would,
of course, command from me any assistance which he might
find occasion to seek and which it might be iu my power to
render.—Believe me, my dear Granville, always siucorely yours,

W. E. Gladstone.

LAW AND POLICE.

Mr. Dickins, the foreman of tlic jury in the
Ticlibome trial, to remove an impression which
he says is prevalent throughout the country,
that the jury were remunerated at the rate of
two guineas per day, sends to the Times a
correspondence which has passed between the
jury and the Lords of the Treasury. From
this it appears that the Treasury decline to
make any larger payment than the sum of 300
guineas to each juryman, which “my Lords”
do not think can be regarded as “an il¬
liberal compensation for the time and labour
bestowed.”

The Benchers of Gray’s Inn have resolved
that it is incumbent upon them to institute au
inquiry into Dr. Kenealy’s conduct during the
late Tichborne trial, and have appointed a com¬
mittee to report upon tho charges which, in
their opinion, tho learned counsel should be
called upon to answer. As a sequel to this
action of the Benchers of Grays Inn, Mr.
Whailey announces that he has a rod in pickle
for Mr. Hawkins. It is his intention to lay a
charge against tho senior counsel for the pro¬
secution before tho Benchers of the Middle
Temple.

The rank of Queen’s Counsel lias been con¬
ferred on Mr. E. H. Pember, Mr. (I. P. Bidder,
of the Parliamentary Bar ; Mr. F. A. Philbrick,
Mr. F. A. Indcrwick, and M. P. 0. Gates.

Mr. James Haslam, cattle-dealer, Bolton,
brought an action, which was tried at the Man¬
chester Assizes on Tuesday, against tho Lanca¬
shire and Yorkshire Railway Company for
damages for personal injuries which he sustained
in a collision at Windor Bridge, Salford. The
jury awarded him £1500.

Father O’Keeffe has reopened the campaign
against the Bishop of Ossory. He now sues
the Bishop for slander. The ground of action
is a letter written by Dr. Moran to a member
-of Parliament saying that tho nomination which
Father O’Keeffe forwarded to the Board of
Education was a forgery. Damages are laid at
£6000.

James Brown, described as an eating-house
keeper, of Sutton-street, Shad well, was brought
up on remand at Bow-street, last Saturday,
charged with having committed perjury in the
trial at bar of the Tichborne claimant. Mr.
Poland, who conducted the prosecution on be¬
half of the Treasury, called several witnesses
in support of tho accusation against Brown.
Amongst these was Captain Oates, who re¬
peated the evidence which he gave^ in the
Court of Queen’s Bench on May 23 hist, when
ho described the circumstances under which
Bogir Tichborne went on board tho Bella at
Bio, in April, 1854. Captain Bobert Hoskins
wa3 also examined, and another remand was
granted, tho prisoner declaring that neither
of ill CEO witnesses was alluded to by him in
the testimony upon which the present charge
is based. - On Thursday Brown was com¬

mitted for trial, bail being accepted for his
appearance, two sureties in £500 each.

For unlawfully acting as a cabdriver. Sir
Cupel Fitzgerald was, on Tuesday, fined 4 0s.
by Mr. Newton, the Marlborough-street magis¬
trate, and was advised to avoid such conduct.

In a case of milk adulteration which was
before the magistrate at Southwark the person
summoned said that he bought his milk of a
man named Warner, and that Warner admitted
that his wife watered tho milk for “the half-
1 enny customers.” Mr. Benson thereujion ad¬
journed the case, and ordered Warner to bs
summoned. Warner admitted the charge, and
was fined 30s. and 12s. Gd. costs. The other
man was fined 10s.

On Saturday, at Worship-street, a young man
twenty years of age, described as the sou of a
gentleman, was convicted of cruelty to a cat.
The magistrate sent him to prison for fourteen
days, not giving him the alternative of paying
a fine.

Li a case of smuggling heard at the South¬
wark Police CourtT on Saturday a peualty of
£100 was imposed, with tho alternative oi six
months’ imprisonment.

Gerald Maurice Burn, one of the boys who
recently fought a duel at Lincoln, was tried, on
Tuesday, at tho Lincoln Assizes for shooting
with intent to do grievous bodily harm. It
was stated that the pistol which was used was
one of those ordinarily sold at toyshops for
sixpence, and had a cork with a string at¬
tached to it, and was meant to be used with
caps, only as a pop-gun. The brother of
Seagravc, the injured boy, said that before
the duel took place ho saw Burn making
bullets in a mould. He had seen him use the
pistol before, firing it at a post. He hit the
post. He said (the witness added), as to my
trother not accepting the challenge, that “he
was a coward and showed a cowardly spirit.”
He said “He would give him another chance
for his honour.” In cross-examination, Sea-
gn.\e said that in a duel which took place a
week before the one in question the “gentle¬
man who cleared his honour was ton years old.
We had all been ‘acting to be men.* We
hod a trial. A boy called Norris was judge.
Bum was counsel. We tried a prisoner. Ho
had refused to sell something aud was tried
for it. Burn was for the prosecution. Some
one irado a caricature of the judge and Burn
^tiu k it up somewhere, and it was pulled
dow n by Seagrave, and that W'as the cause of the
quarrel.” The jury returned a verdict of “Not
gunty.”

At the Bucks Assizes, yesterday week,
Rebecca Lively was convicted of arson, and
sentenced to five years'penal servitude.

THE ROYAL ENTRY
INTO LONDON.

The state entry of her
Majesty the Queen and
their Royal Highnesses the
Duke and Grand Duchess
of Edinburgh into London
on Thursday week is the
subject of several of our
Illustrations It was an
event which all ranks and
classes of her Majesty’s
liege people regarded with
such affectionate interest as
they have always felt in the
domestic happiness of the
Royal family, now increased
by the welcome presence of
an amiable and illustrious
lady, the newly - married
wife of our Sailor Prince.

The weather, let it be
called English or Russian,
was certainly not so agree¬
able, on that day of her re¬
ception in the metropolis,
as on the preceding Satur¬
day, a bnght and balmy
spring morning, when the
young Duchess landed at
Gravesend, with her hus¬
band, and travelled at once
to Windsor. It was a rough,
harsh, inclement wintry
day. The Queen and her
soub and daughters, before
starting from home, had a
foretaste of this day’s bad
weather in the snow falling
heavily at Windsor. By
ten oxdock the park and
grounds about the Castle
were covered with an inch
of snow, and the route to
the Great Western Railway
station, though gaily deco¬
rated, looked the reverse of
inviting. The town was
embellished with flags, and
the railway statiou was
adorned with flowers and

bunting. In the High-street most of the houses were decorated,
balconies were draped, and flags and heraldic shields and flowers
were exhibited everywhere. The Royal special train was ready
at Windsor for the journey to Paddington, Messrs. Grierson,
Higgins, Kirtley, and Robinson being in charge. The exterior
of the Queen’s room at the Windsor railway station was
decorated with choice plants. Accommodation had been pro¬
vided for the Eton boys to see the departure of the Royal party.

Her Majesty, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, Prince
Leopold, and Princess Beatrice, attended by Colonel Ponsonby,
Lord A. Paget, and suite, left Windsor at eleven o'clock, with
an escort of Scots Greys, driving in',close carriages down High-
street to the Great Western station, where the Royal party
were received by a guard of honour of the first battalion
Grenadier Guards, under Colonel Legh. The band of the Scots
Greys was present. ‘ The Queen was met on the platform by
Sir D. Gooch, M.P. (chairman), Mr. J. Grierson, Mr. S.
Higgins, and Mr. Robinson. The Royal party passed over the
carpet bestrewn with daisies and bouquets to the saloon, where
a basket of roses, ferns, and other flowers had been placed by
Lady Gooch. The band played a Russian air on their arrival.
The Queen and Royal party left in a special train at 11.6. The
train was drawn by the engine “ Queen,’’gaily decorated with
English and Russian colours, with the initials “A. M. in
flowers on the top. Mr. H. Kirtley drove the engine.

The train containing the Royal party arrived at the Pad¬
dington terminus at twenty minutes to twelve. Throughout
the route to Buckingham Palace no prettier scene could bo
found than its commencement at the railway station; and there
was no heartier welcome than was given by the occupants of
the crowded platform as the train drew up. It is not easy to
make a bare, unsymmetrical building of iron and glass like
the Great Western Railway station an object of attrac¬
tion ; but those who had carried out the decorations had
gone as far in that direction as was possible. The train, con¬
sisting of narrow-gauge carriages, one being a new saloon-
carriage, built especially for the use of her Majesty, was brought
in the station so that the Royal saloon drew np right in the
centre of the arrival platform. On each side of the open space
across which her Majesty, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh,

THE QUEEN AND DUKE AND DUCHESS OP EDINBURGH AT THE BALCONY AT BUCKINGHAM PALACE,

CAPTAIN SAIVTOTUU-*. OF THE ASH ANT EE EXPEDITION.

Prince Leopold, and Princess
Beatrice passed to their
carriages in the covered
roadway, were seats for
about 600 people, on chairs
and benches raised one
above the other, and covered
with red drapery. The
platform along the length
occupied by the train was
covered with crimson cloth,
the sx>ace between the
stands being carpeted. The
long arch covering the plat¬
form was a mass of bunting
of all kinds, the centre
being hung with flags of all
nations, and the girders
supporting the arch being
almost hid with sinaU
groups of banners. At the
intersection of the arches
other rows of long flags and
* banners depended. A back¬
ground to the road by
which the carriages departed
was formed by immense
flags, which served to hide
the wall of the station.
There were branches of
evergreens hanging from
the pillars, and in baskets
from the girders. The guard
of honour was composed of
the 6th Dragoon Guards
(Carabinicrs), who lined the
roadway, and who pre¬
sented arms as the Royal
party alighted. Sir Daniel
Gooch and Mr. Saunders
were on the platform to
receive the occupants of
the train They, amid loud
cheers, entered the carriages
with their suite, and in a
few minutes left the station.

The Queen, with the
Duke and Duchess and the
other Royal personages, en¬
tered carriages at Padding¬
ton, and drove steadily down
Edgware - road, Oxford-
Btreet, Regent-street, Waterloo-place, pastCharing-cross, through
the Hoi*se Guards, along the Mall, to Buckingham Palace, tho
route being lined with troops.

^ There was a large concourse of people opposite the Great
Western Hotel and Praed-street station and in the adjacent
approaches, in spite of the weather, which had been as bad as
could be well imagined during the early part of the morning.
The streets in Paddington over which the procession would pass
had been swept and scraped by groups of scavengers, and
gravel put down to make them safe for the transit of the troops
and carriages. The streets outside the station were kept by a
few horse soldiers, and in London-street, the thoroughfare
immediately opposite the station, each pavement was lined by
Royal Engineers, backed by policemen. There was nothing
noticeable in this part of the route in the way of decoration. A
few of the shopkeepers had extemporised balconies in front of
their houses, and some flags were extended across the streets.
Nor did Oxford and Cambridge Terraces—the next part of the
route leading from London-street to Edgware-road.— put
forth anything but a few decorations of the most ordinary and
commonplace description. But everywhere were to be found
numbers of people cheering lustily in spite of the snow which
fell during the first part of the route. Tho gardens in front
of the houses were, in most cases, filled with stands, many
of them uncovered to the air. The road was kept at this

S art of the route by the 10th Foot, which corps extended
own to Marylebone-road. It was at this junction with
Edgware-road that the first of the noticeable decorations
commenced. Venetian masts were placed at close intervals,
coloured yellow and white, with cords suspended from the top
of each containing little flags and banners. There were many
mottoes placed on the drapery and amid the evergreens with
which several of the houses were ornamented. Some of these
were in Russian ; most were in English, but all signified a
cordial welcome to the Russian Duchess. At the corner of
Hyde Park-terrace was one of the best*decorated houses on
the route. Between this and the Marble Arch were many other
Venetian masts, some of the tallest imaginable, and from them
across the road were strings of artificial ilowers. The Marble
Arch was reached by a quarter past twelve o’clock, and by

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS

MARCH 21, I874

this time the enow had ceased to fall. A great number of
people were at this part, and oven the top of the arch itself
was crowded.

Oxford-street appeared to have expended a good deal of its
enthusiasm in its decorative efforts. The open space ot Regent-
circus was thickly peopled, and t e cheering tremendous.
The establishments of Messrs. Jay and Madame Louise
were splendidly adorned ; but Regent-street seemed anxious
to atone for its unfinished condition by its hearty recep¬
tion of the Royal visitors, the windows being closely
packed. Enthusiasm, however, may be said to have
reached its climax when ihe Royal carriage came opposite
No. 74, where a balcony filled with children decked in the
colours of the two nations threw bouquets into the roadwajr,
and from the windows of the house the same pretty and signifi¬
cant missives were sent in profusion. This appeared to please
and slightly to surprise the fair young bride, who repeatedly
smiled and bowed her acknowledgments.

A ray of sunshine burst forth as the cheering indicated the
near approach of the cortege to Pall-mall, and the Royal car¬
riage was stopped for a moment to the westward of the Crimean
monument, to w T hich the particular attention of the Duchess
was called. The Guards’ band, stationed to the east of the
monument, struck up the National Anthem, which was fol¬
lowed by the Russian National Anthem, and the procession
passed on amidst enthusiastic cheering. In front of tlie Nelson
monument about 350 boys of the Duke of York’s School were
stationed with their band, and a large number of boys in naval
uniform. During the progress down Charing-cross tho enthu¬
siasm was great and the cheering general. In front of the
Admiralty a large number of bluejackets, armed with carbines
and cutlasses, were stationed. Their duty in keeping the crowd
within bounds was very light, but they saluted the Royal party,
and their salute was graciously returned. The scene at the
Horse Guards was very imposing, and, the entrance to the Park
being narrow, the crowds had an opportunity afforded them of
staring at the Royal party, of which they did not fail to avail
themselves. The cheering under the arch was echoed and re¬
echoed, and was taken up by the crowds who lined the road on
each side of the carriage drive. At the Duke of York stens an
immense assemblage had gathered, and expressions of loyal
greeting w ere very hearty. A running volley of cheers accom¬
panied the cortege to the gates of the palace, inside which 400
of the boys from the Chichester and other ships were stationed.
At the gate itself the throng was very dense, and sent forth
cheer upon cheer for some time after the Royal party were
fairly within the palace. They kindly showed themselves for
one moment at a balcony in front.

Besides the abundant street and house decorations for the
display of that morning, there was, along the whole line of
route, and especially in Regent-street and Pall-mall, an
extensive preparation of devices for illumination, the full
beauty of which v r as not apparent until the darkness of the
evening had set in. Many of the devices of the clubhouses
and public offices are those that were used on the evening of
the marriage at St. Petersburg. There was a torchlight pro¬
cession on the Thames Embankment, in which the medical
students of the chief London hospitals bore the greatest part.

CAPTAIN SARTORIUS.

The exploit of this gallant officer was one of the closing acts of
the late campaign in the land of the Ashantees. It was men¬
tioned in Sir Garnet Wolseley's telegraphic despatches to our
Government received last week. Captain Sartorius, with only
an escort of twenty men detached from the force under the
command of Captain Glover, R.N., east of Coomassie, marched
to that city, and through its smoking ruins, without meeting
an enemy. He joined Sir Garnet Wolseley at Fomannah on the
12th ult. It seems probable that the rumour of his bold
approach, mistaken for that of Captain Glover’s entire force,
completed the intimidation of the enemy, already disheartened
by Sir Garnet Wolseley’s victories over them and by the destruc¬
tion of their capital. We give a portrait of Captain Reginald
Sartorius, of the 0th Bengal Cavalry. He is the second son of
Sir George Rose Sartorius, K.C.B., Admiral of the Fleot. He
went out to India as a cadet in January, 185S, and w r as shortly
afterwards attached to the 13th Light Infantry, under Lord
Mark Kerr. It was not long before he saw active service ; for,
on April 0 in the same year, he w as at the siege of Azimghur.
The company to which he belonged, which w as commanded by
Captain Jones, was in charge of baggage and ammunition, when
it was ordered to the rear to help the rearguard, which was
hotly attacked. At the very outset Captain Jones was shot
dead, and Sartorius led on the company and dislodged the
enemy, killing several with his ow n hand, and among them the
man who had shot his Captain. After this he was entirely
surrounded, when some cavalry came to his assistance. The
Major in command, seeing tho danger of the situation, was at
n loss for means of communication with the Colonel, who was in
front, attacking a strong village. Sartorius volunteered to
carry any message if the Major would lend him his horse, his
o*.vn horse having been shot. The Major did so, and Sartorius
. vjhed through the enemy, who fired at him all the way along.

< >uo ball took off the top of his helmet, another stunned and
bruised Ins ankle ; but he succeeded iu delivering his message
to the Colonel, and returned with another company, with
tlm assistance of which the baggage and ammunition were
safely brought up, under a heavy fire. In a letter
to Sir George Sartorius, Lord Mark Kerr spoke in most favour¬
able terms of his sou, especially commenting upon his coolness
on the occasion of this daring feat. On tho same day Sartorius
volunteered to head a storming party against a number of
rebels who were firing from a loopholed mosque; hut this Lord
Mark Kerr refused to sanction, as he considered it would be
certain destruction. It was no small gratification to this young
officer when, at tho close of tho battle, the Colouol publicly
complimented him upon the courage and coolness he had shown
throughout the day. Sartorius subsequently saw much lighting,
the more important engagements at which lie was present lieing
as follow: At Thirreah, Sept. 10. 1858; at Domeragunge,
Nov. 28, 1858 ; at Tulseporc, Dec. 2fi, 185$ ; and at BntwAl, in
April, 1850. His one great ambition from tlie commencement
of his service has been to merit the decoration of the Victoria
Cross, so highly prized by all, but bestowed upon so few. To
this end In*, later on, joined both the expeditions to Bliootan,
where he again came in contact w ith tho enemy. lie also volun¬
teered for tlie Abyssinian campaign, but was not successful in
his application. Ilia turn has come at last.

The Great Western Railway Company lias presented the
widow of the guard Hoskins, who was killed in the West
Drayton collision, with £300.

Lord Leconfield has given £2500 to the sustentation fnud
of the Limerick diocese. This is only part of a sum of £20,000
which his Lordship has devoted to the Church of Leland.

A testimonial, consisting of some valuable plate, with a
purse of 100gs., has been presented to Mr. Harris, who for
thirty-seven years has been the steward of the Oxford Union.

COFFKE CALCALLEES UMBRELLA.

The Ashanbee war Ins yielded a trophy of Sir Garnet
Wolseley s victorious arms in the state umbrella of his Majesty
King t ’offee Calcalleo. This article was brought to England,
a fortnight ago, by Lieutenant tho Hon. H. Wood, 10th
Hussars, aide-de-camp to Sir Garnet Wolseley. It w r as pre¬
sented to her Majesty the Queen by Lieutenant Wood, at
Windsor Castle, on Tuesday week. An Illustration of this
characteristic ornamental appurtenance of Ashantee Royalty
is here engraved. Oar readers do not require to be
told that the umbrella is not for use, to keep off rain or
sunshine, though shelter against both is needful in a tropical
clime ; but that it is an emblem of pomp and dignity, held over
the King’s head on all ceremonial occasions. Its material is
velvet, partly dark crimson, partly black, with cold trimmings.
The size is about 7 ft. in diameter. The umbrella has a number

THE KING OF ASHANTEE’S STATE UMBRELLA.

of appendages, cut of leather and cloth, with square and round
knobs. These are fetish charms, to ensuro the good luck of
the Royal owner. A lion’s claw r , fastened to the ribs of the
umbrella, inside and outside, is likewise a kind of charm or
talisman. The umbrella was taken at Coomassie on Feb. 4,
when our troops entered that city.

MUSIC.

THE OPERA SEASON.

The event of the week has been the opening of Her Majesty’s
Opera on Tuesday, when “Semiramidc * w as given, cast as on

S revious occasions at the same establishment. Again tho fine
eclamation of Mdlle. Titiens (as Semiraxnide), the exquisite
voice and polished style of Madame Trebelli-Bettini (as
Arsace), and the tiorid vocalisation of Signor Agnesi (as Assur)
were the prominentfeaturesof the performance ; other characters
having been efficiently represented (as heretofore) by Signori
Rinaldini, Campobello, and Casaboni. The principal singers
and Sir Michael Costa, the conductor, were warmly greeted by the
audience. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of
Wales and tho Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh attended the
performance of the opera, which is to be repeated this evening.

Of Mr. Maples on’s arrangements and engagements for the
season just commenced we gave an outline a fortnight ago. 'Hie
first fulfilment of his promises was to take place on Thursday,
when Mdllo. Lodi’s ddbut was announced as Amin a in “ La
Sonnambula.”

A fortnight hence we shall have to speak of the commence¬
ment of Mr. Gye’s new season of tho Royal Italian Opera, which
will open on Tuesday week.

J. ne crystal i aiace concert of .Saturday last included a pe
formance of. Schubert’s elaborate and beautiful otett for so
string and wind instruments, the parts for the fonner execute
by all the orchestral play ere of that class and the wind instr
ments occasionally doubled, in the same manner as that whic
lias more than once been adopted at these concerts in the pe
formance of Beethoven’s septet, the practice having originate
many years ago at the Paris Conservatoire. The admirab
skill of tlie executants is thus put to an extreme test, but tl
work necessarily loses much of its inteuded grace and delicac
with so large an extension of the score beyond the composer
design. In Saturday’s performance the work was curtailc
by the omission of the andante, with variations, an
the minuet and trio, it being even then of the fill
ordinary dimensions of an orchestral symphony. Mie
Anna Williams sang, with much effect, Mendelssohn’
elaborate concert-aria, “ Iufelicc ; * Miss Sterling gave, wit!
fine expression, two German lioder — one by Rubinstein
the other by Liszt; and Mr. W. Castle displayed his ngreeabl
quality of voice and smooth cantabile in the air, from “St
laul, “ Be thou faithful ’(with violoncello obbligato by Mi
need). Other pieces by these .singers, Weber’s overture t
1 i riM U O’^dho. ’ ami that by Sir W. Stemdalc Bennett, entitle*
I lie \\ ood Nymph, ’ completed the selection.

The fourth concert of tho British Orchestral Society, oi
Thursday week, included performances of Mendelssohn’
Scotch symphony, Spolira “Dramatic” concerto (fineb
played by our excellent violinist, Mr. Carrodus), Mozart’s over
ture to “Die ZauberJIote,” that to Mr. G. A. Macfarren':
oratorio St. John the Baptist, ’ and a new manuscrip
concert-overtiire by Mr Gadsby, entitled “The Witches
Irohc —a spirited pieco of orchestral writing, which was ven

favourably received. Local pieces were contributed by Mia
Georgma Maudsley and Mr. Bentham ; and Mr. Mount con
ducted, as usual. At the fifth concert (and last but one of th<
second season), on ihursday next, a new symphony by Mr G
A. Macfarren is to be performed for the first time

The fifth concert of the second season of the Wagner Society
took place yesterday (Friday) week, when the selection from
the composer s stage w orks consisted of the chorus of the Mes-

sengers of Peace (“Riena”), the overture and choral
“ Wachet auf ” (Die Meietcraiuger von Numbers"), Lohemm.;
arrival and Farewell to the Swan, Prayer before the co®| J
and Lohengrin’s victory (“Lohengrin ). The opera fiJj
drawn from is Wagner’s earliest dramatic production 0 f Z
magnitude, and is now scarcely recognised by him. Its some
w hat feeble eclecticism stands in remarkable contrast to tl
strong individuality and marked power of his subsequent
operas, the music selected from which derived increased effJ
at the concert referred to by comparison with the oommencS
pieco of the series. Tlie chorale and the scene of Lohengrin”,
arrival were encored. The tenor solo of Lohengrin wa* 8
by Mr. Lane, he and Madame Corani having rendered th.
incidental passages in the extract from “ Rienzi.” The coni
cert began with Beethoven’s overture to “King Stephen ”
w’hich was followed by the same composer’s choral fant&sil
with Mr. Walter Bache’s skilful execution of tho pianoforte
part: and this preliminary portion of the programme was com.
pleted by two liecler by Liszt and Rubinstein, which were finely
sung by Miss Sterling, the selection from N\ agner’a operas having
been preceded by his “Huliligungs Marsch,” composed in cele-
bration of the accession of the present King of Bavaria to tie
throne. Besides the singers mentioned, Miss Helene Arnim
and Messrs. Devon, Ainsworth, and Wharton aided in the con-
certed music.

Herr Joachim’s unrivalled playing, as leading and so],
violinist, continues to be a prominent attraction at the Monday
Popular Concerts. This w eek he was heard in the great (post
humous) quartet of B ethoveu (op. 131) in B fiat, the thirteenth
in the grand series of these works ; in Haydn’s in D (from op.
and iu a sonata of Tart ini. Mr. Damireuther made his second
appearance here this season, and gave a fine reading oi Beet¬
hoven’s solo pianoforte sonata in A fiat (op. 110). Mis* Edith
Wynne was the vocalist, and Sir Julius Benedict conducted.

St. Patrick’s Day was celebrated musically by Irish haj] a( j
concerts (morning and evening) at St. James’s Hafl.

The last London Ballad Concert of the season took place on
Wednesday evening, with a programme of the usual varied and
popular character ; and on the same evening Mr. Coenen gave
the third (and last) of his chamber concerts, the programme ol
which comprised a string quartet by Gernaheim, a sonata for
piano and violin by Bargiel, and Rubinstein's quintet for
pianoforte, flute, clarinet, horn, and bassoon.

Of the first performance in London of Mr. Arthur Sullivan’s
oratorio, “The Light of the World” (by the Royal Albert
Hall Choral Society, on Thursday), and of Mr. G. A.
Macfarren’s “ St. John the Baptist” (by the Sacred Harmonic
Society, on the following evening), we must speak next week.

The second private concert of the Royal Albert Hall
Amateur Orchestral Society (twice postponed) is to take place
this (Saturday ) evening, when the selection of music will include
Beethoven’s first symphony, his overture to “Prometheus,”
Nicolai’s to “ The Merry \faves of Windsor,” and Auber’s to
“ Les Diamans de la Couronne,” besides other pieces, instru¬
mental and vocal.

Next week’s music will include the commencement (on
Wednesday evening) of the sixty-second Beason of the Phil¬
harmonic Society.

This year’s musical festivals—the Handel celebration at the
Crystal Palace and the meeting of the three choirs of Hereford,
Worcester, and Gloucester at the last-named place — both
recurring in their regular triennial order—are to be supple¬
mented by a festival at Leeds, which it has just been decidea to
hold in the ensuing autumn.

THEATRES.

THE QUEEN’S.

Mr. Charles Reade has produced a new and original pastoral
drama, which on tho score of merit demands a special notice,
it is in two acts, and is called “Rachel the Reaper.” The
piece i9 as simple as if it were an idyll by Geaner, and quite as
pathetic. The tone of tho dialogue is throughout chaste, but
eloquent with feeling and moral sentiment. The scene repre¬
sents the exterior of a farm in Berkshire, owned by Old
Hawthorn (Mr. S. Artaud). Tt is harvest-time, and the reaper*
have been materially helped by the labours of a venerable cor¬
poral, eighty years of nge, named Patrick (Mr. T. Mead), who
was present at the battle of Waterloo, and his grand-daughter,
Rachel (Mias Rose Evans). This young lady is the heroine of
the piece, and has been wronged by Bichard Hickman (*
bigamist), who has traced her to the farm, and seeks to rain
her character; but his villany is exposed, and Rachel at Lui
finds a good husband in Robert Hawthorn, the fanneri
son (Mr. C. Kelly). This is the whole of the plo;
but it is sufficient to furnish many striking situations, and
afford room for much characteristic portraiture. Among tb«
latter is that of the widow Mayfield (Miss Bessie Edwan If'.
who would fain marry again w ith young Hawthorn, and i*
compelled to be content with another, w r ho, nevertheless,rill
make her a good husband. Prominent among these dmracki*
is the grand old Corporal of Mr. T. Mead, who, thrown into a
reverie by the excess of passion, personates the* Duke d \
Wellington, and shouts the famous command of ** Up, boys,
and at them ! ” Rachel is most gracefully as well as forcibly
sustained by Miss Evans; and Miss Edwards gives full W’’
clever expression to the various moods and humours of tltf
capricious and coquettish widow. This last character redound
to the credit of Air. Reade as a distinct and powerful portrait,

ROYAL INSTITUTION LECTURES.

DEVELOPMENT OF DIATOMS, A LG.*:, AND LICHENS.

Professor W. C. Williamson, F.R.S., began his third lecture on
Cryptogamic Vegetation, on Thursday week, by describing the
structure of the diatomaceie, a family of microscopic plants
found in fresh and salt water, the cells of which (termed
frustules) have walls containing silica. The surfaces of those
cell*walls, of various shapes, exhibit beautiful minute markings,
each species having its own, within the space of the two-
hundredth of an inch, thus affording most interesting objects
for the microscope. The cell contains protoplasm of various
colours, some of which is said to contain iron. The Professor
stated that he had no doubt of the diatoms belonging to the
vegetable kingdom, .although the cause of their very interesting
varied movements is at present nnkuown. Ho then entered
upon the consideration of the alga*, a class which includes the
seaweeds and various forms of simple cellular structure met
with abundantly in ditches, ponds, and other accumulations of
water. After describing now some of tlieso fresh-water
forms may bo obtained from the green slime of ponds, and
alluding to their beautiful appearance under the micro¬
scope, the Professor dilated on the great variety and
beauty of the sea-weeds, and the marked peculiarities of their
organisation and reproduction. The latter part of the lecture
was devoted to lichens, so welt known as dry inerusting bodies
growing upon the bark of trees, stones, or other bodies, and
abounding on rocks and in mountainous districts. Their various
shades of colour are w ell exhibited by the lichen geographieus,
so named from its resemblance to a map. In the simplest kind
of lichens the frond consists of microscopic blanched filaments,
which present globular cells (gonidia) tilled with green matter,
analogous to tho buds of llowering plants. The interesting man¬
ner in which lichens are multiplied was fully described and eluci¬
dated by diagrams. Lichens are specially distinguished by the
shape of the case, which protects their pores during winter, the
germs retaining their vitality till they obtain conditions
favourable to vegetation. The Professor finally described the
sporangium, the thick walled structure immediately inclosing
the spores of the Cryptogamia. It contains small round cells,
with spirals closely packed. When warmth comes the cells
expand, the spirals are lengthened, the walls burst, and the
seed is scattered abroad. Though millions are thus dispersed,
the Professor said that there is no ground for believing that
the number of plants is greater now than it was at the beginning
of the world.

CHEMISTRY OF SMELTING IRON IN BLAST- FURNACES.

Hr. C. It. Alder- Wright, Lecturer on Chemistry in St.
Mary’s Hospital Medical School, at the Friday evening meeting
on the 13th mst., after briclly describing the general construction
of the blast-furnace, stated that the chemical changes taking
place in tho hotly of the furnace are far from being bo simple
as is usually supposed. The ordinary explanation is that the
carbon oxide formed by the burning of the fuel at the tuyere
acts on the oxide of iron, taking away its oxygen and form¬
ing carbon dioxide (carbonic acid). But this simple change
is complicated by several others, five different sets of reactions
actually taking place simultaneously—viz., a, reactions whereby
tho higher oxides of iron are reduced successively to lower
oxides and to metal by means of carbon oxide, which is itself
oxidised to carbon dioxide ; B, reactions the converse of a,
whereby metallic iron and its lower oxides are oxidised by
the action of carbon dioxide, which is itself reduced to catbon
oxide •, c, reactions whereby iron and lower oxides act on
carbon oxide, forming higher oxides of iron and setting free
carbon; D, reactions whereby the carbon thus deposited by
actions 0 reacts on higher oxides of iron, formiug successively
lower oxides and metallic iron, the carbon itself being oxidised
to carbon dioxide ; e, a reaction whereby the carbon dioxide
formed in some of the previous reactions reacts on carbon,
both being converted into carbon oxide. Dr. Wright
fully described and illustrated by experiments each of
these classes of reactions, and referred to recent re¬
searches of Mr. I. Lowthian Bell, M. P. (with whom ho had
co-operated in tho inquiry), on various points connected with
the subject. He also commented on some general principles of
chemical dynamics involved in these reactions, especially
noticing the action of hydrogen on oxide of iron forming steam
and metallic iron, and the action of steam on metallic iron
forming oxide of iron and sotting free hydrogen. As the heat
reduced by the union of a givon quantity of oxygen with iron,
ydrosjen, and carbonic oxide is nenriy the same at 500 degrees,
there is only a minute amoimtof heat evolution or heat absorption
in each of these four cases, which thus constitute two pairs of
inverse reactions. The nitrogen of the blast under certain cir¬
cumstances exerts an important inliuence on the iron-smelting
process. When the materials employed in the furnace contain
potassium and sodium, the cyanides of these metals are formed
in the hottest part of the furnace. These cyanides reduce the
last portions of tho oxide of iron to metal, becoming themselves
converted into cyanates, which are apparently split up
by the high prevailing temperature evolving nitrogen. These
changes afford un explanation of an apparently abnormal
constitution of the gases of the furnace in the lower
parts, as compared with that at higher levels. The
production of cyanides was illustrated by means of a small
model blast furnace fed with charcoal containing potassium
carbonate. Dr. Wright stated that the alkali-metal compounds
which have done duty once in the fonn of cyanides are carried
up mechanically by the gases, and to a certain extent deposited
as a kind of sublimate on the materials in the upper part of the
furnace. They are thus brought down again, and used over
again. In this way tho total amount of alkali-metals present
in the furnace often becomes very large, sometimes ns great as
one quarter of the pig iron made, through the small amounts
brought in daily accumulating. The actions in the furnace arc
of such a character that it Js impossible to convert more than
about one third of the carrfcn used as fuel into carbon dioxide,
the rest necessarily escaping as carbonic oxide. It thus results
that the blast furnace is a very wasteful instrument, inasmuch
as far more fuel is required to smelt iron in consequence- of this
circumstance than would be requisite in a more perfect arrange¬
ment, where all the fuel could be burnt to carbon dioxide. Sir
Frederick Pollock, Bart., was in the chair.

rOLITICAL HISTORY OF EPHESt'N.

Mr. Charles T. Newton, M.A., Keeper of Creek and Roman
Antiquities in the British Museum, gave the first of a course of
three lectures, on Mr. Wood’s Discoveries at Ephesus, on Satur¬
day last. He began by reminding his audience that the Temple
of Diana at Ephesus was one of tho seven wonders of the
ancient world, of which wonders the only other extant rdies
arc the Pyramids and tho remains of the Mansolcnm. Ephesus
was a city of peculiar his'orieal interest, a 9 having been the
first place where the preaching of Christianity met with strong
opposition from Paganism, an 1 having been* very important
under the Roman empire, and, for centuries before, originally
ono of the twelve Stat.-s 0 f the Ionian Confederacy. After
explaining the topography of Ephesus, by means of a map
showing the positions of Mounts Piun and Coressus, the Temple
of Diana, the fortifications, and the principal buildings of the

city, Mr. Newton stated that the reputed founder of the
Greek colony of Ephesus was Androklos, one of the sons of
( Virus, the last King of Athens, and the date of his landing
b o. 1044. According to local tradition, the worship of Artemis
or Diana was much earlier, as she was an Asiatic, not a Greek,
deity ; and all through history her priests had Asiatic rather
than Hellenic sympathies, siding with the Lydian and Persian
dynasties in succession. The colony grew by accession of
emigrants, till checked by the development of the power
of the Lydian monarchs, whose policy it was to attack
the Ionian cities one by one. Croesus nearly took Ephesus,
but the city was saved by being attached by a rope
to the Temple of Diana — in other words, by being
solemnly dedicated to the goddess. Crcesus modified the con¬
stitution, but was all the time on friendly relations with the
priests ; and, according to Herodotus, he dedicated most of the
columns and golden bulls in the temple. After being conquered
by Cyrus, Ephesus joined tho other Ionian cities in the revolt
against Darius, but soon submitted ; and was on such good
terms with the Persians that Xerxes left his children there
after his expedition to Greece. The city paid tribute to Athens
during its supremacy, but afterwards went over to Sparta ;
and Lysander took up his quarters there, finding much bar¬
barism, duo to Persian influence. From this time till the
Invasion of Alexander the Great, Ephesus sided with the
Spartans and Athenians as they severally prevailed.
Lysimachus made great political changes, forcing the Ephesians
to leave the vicinity of the temple where they had dwelt since
the time of Cnesus, and he concentrated them within larger
lines of fortifications, giving the new city the name of his wife,
Arsinoe. Ephesus successively passed into the possession of
the Ptolemies and the Seleueiuai, and, after the defeat of
Antiochus the Great by the Romans, was by them given
to the kings of Pergamus. At the death of tho last of
these, Atfcalus III., it became the capital of the Roman
province of Asia, and, under the Emperors, had the proud
title of “the metropolis and first city of Asia.” Ephesus was
destroyed, and the temple sacked and plundered, by the Goths,
a. i>. 2C2. With this event the ancient history of the city,
extending over 1300 years, may be considered to close. It was
rebuilt by the Emperor Justinian, and remained part of the
Byzantine empire till taken by the Seljukian Turks, one of
whom, Saroukhan, reigned as Emir at Magnesia at the begin¬
ning of the fourteenth century. In the course of Mr. Wood’s
excavations a large treasure of Saroukhan’s coins and those of
contemporary Latin States was discovered at Ephesus. The
place was afterwards taken by the Turks, and Sultan Selim
built a fine mosque ; but at the end of the seventeenth century
the town had utterly decayed, a few miserable hovels at tho
village of Aiasoluh being all that marked this celebrated site.
The next lectnre will be devoted to the history of the temple
and worship of Diana.

PRESSURE AND ELASTICITY OF AIR.

Professor Tyndall, D.C.L., F.R.S., began his fifth lecture,
on Tuesday last, by observing that a scientific principle stored
within the mind is like a key which unlocks innumerable doors;
and so a thousand facts can be referred to the simple principle
that the air possesses weight and that the atmosphere exerts
pressure. Supposing a barometric tube to bo a square inch in
area, and the mercury standing in it at thirty inches, thirty
cubic metres of mercury would bo supported. As two cubic
inches of mercury weigh one pound, thirty would weigh fifteen
pounds. A pressure of fifteen pounds on every square inch is
therefore exerted by the atmosphere, and this amount of pres¬
sure is technically termed “an atmosphere.” This was illus¬
trated by a series of experiments, clearly proving that the
column of mercury rises when the atmospheric pressure is in¬
creased and falls when the pressure is diminished. The prin¬
ciple of the “Cartesian diver” was also explained. The Professor
then proceeded to the consideration of what Robert
Boyle termed “the spring of the air,” referring especially
to the illustrious philosopher’s “New Experiments,
Phy8ico-mechanical, ” forty-three in number, made with
a pneumatic engine, which showed him to possess
perfectly distinct notions as to the condition of the lower
strata of the atmosphere. He saw them clearly pressed upon
by tho upper strata, and he compared the air particles to cor¬
puscular springs, which offer a certain resistance to com¬
pression, and which cause the air to expand when it is relieved
from pressure. He also made numerous observations on the
variation in the height of the mercurial column, and on the
influence of pressure on the boiling-point of liquids ; and
on Dec. 20, 1 659, ho proved, placing his watch in the

receiver of his air-pump, that sound cannot pass through the
vacuum, thus anticipating tho discovery commonly attributed
to Hawskbee (in 1705). After making some important ex¬
periments upon animals, Boyle expressed his gratitude
to his Creator for having made tho air so admirably
subservient to animal life and enjoyment. Professor Tyndall
then showed how Boyle’s law is verified by Mariotte’s tube,
and referred to tables setting forth the results of Boyle’s inves¬
tigations. The practical applications of compressed air which
were exhibited and explained included the air-gun, the pump,
the fire-engine, and the hydraulic ram, illustrated by diagrams
and models. The Professor also noticed a large sensitive baro¬
meter, constructed by Mr. Jordan, in which water is replaced
by a liquid less subject to evaporation.

On Friday evening next the discourse will be given by Pro¬
fessor A. ^Ramsay, F.ll.S., Director of the Geological Survey of
Great Britain, on the Physical History of the Rhine.

Major-General Vaughan delivered an address at the Royal
United Service Institution, yesterday week, on the Retreat
of tho Ten Thousand—a Military Study for all Time. The.
lecturer' traced the retreat of Xenophon from point to point,
and maintained that the real lesson which was to be learnt
from it was that, if soldiers would only be true to themselves,
they might hope to emerge victorious from every trial.

At a special court of Common Council, held at Guildhall
on Monday, a resolution was passed, in accordance with the
report of a special committee, recommending that a piece of
plate of tho value of 3000 guineas be presented by the Corporation

to the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh.- At a meeting of

the Metropolitan Board of Works, yesterday week, an address
of congratulation was voted to her Majesty on the occasion of
the Duke of Edinburgh’s marriage. It was also resolved that
an address to the Duke and Duchess should be presented.

At the annual meeting of the Associated Chambers of Com¬
merce, on Tuesday, it was stated that there arc now forty-niue
chambers in affiliation. In the report allusion was made to the
principal commercial events of the year—the Piimsoll commis¬
sion and the negotiations relative to the French treaty. It was
resolved that the subject of the bankruptcy laws be referred to
a select committee, and that the < lovenunent be memorialised
to initiate an inquiry into the working of the Bank Charter Act,
either by Royal Commission or by a Select Committee of the
House of Commons. A motion in favour of repealing the
income tax w as also adopted.

CURIOUS WILLS.

WELL OF MAJOR-G ENERAL CLAUDE MARTIN, OF THE BENGAL CIVIL
SERVICE : DIED 1800.

(Contributed by the Author of “Flemish Interiors ," Ac.)

One of the most singular wills on record is, perhaps, that of
Major-General Claude Martin, of the Bengal Civil Service, who
was bom at Lyons, in January, 1735, and whose life offers a
series of contingencies of so fortunate a character that, although
he came into the world as the son of a cooper, he died distin¬
guished by high military rank, in a palace (Oonstantia House)
he had himself built on the banks of the Goumtie, and possessor
of a fortune of ten or twelve millions.

Claude Martin left his native place at an early age and went
to India, where he entered the army as a private soldier—first
in the French ranks, and afterwards, by the course of events,
passed into the Company’s service. After a number of adven¬
tures he attained the grade of Major-General, and died on
Sept. 10, 1800.

His will is not only, as we have said, singular, but it is a
very scarce document, only a few copies having been struck off
for collectors, in the year 1803, at Lyons, where the original is
deposited, the testator having bequeathed to that city a legacy
ot 250,000 sicca-rupees, or about £31,250. It was written in
English—very illiterate English ; but, having to be administered
in France, it was rendered into French by the authorised legal
translators, MM. Martinet and Stephano. The English stands
on one side of the page, the French version on the other, and,
as in the original, several words, and even whole lines, arc
written in pencil, these have been printed in red. The whole
forms a thin quarto volume, and is entitled The Last Will
and Testament of Major-General Cl. Martin. There are
155 pages, eighty-three of these being occupied with the pre¬
liminary clauses of the will, and seventy-two with the tables
detailing the description of the property and the sums con¬
stituting the fortune of the testator.

The preamble is extremely original in its compilation, and
contains a great deal of rambling religious belief of a very
heterodox character, though the testator admits he was born a
Catholic, and had never formally abandoned this faith or
assumed or any other, though he allows that he has “not been
very strict in conforming to the various ceremonies and ordi¬
nances it prescribes.”

Article 1 is very lengthy, and relates to his domestics,
male and female, to whom ho gives their liberty, with the ex¬
ception of a certain number specially named as recipients of
certain legacies, but who are to continue slaves in the sendee
and during the lives of five women, respectively named
Boulonne or Lisa, Sally, Maria (suruamed Barkebibe), and
Kariman. To these, by other special clauses, he leaves specified
sums of money ; as also to a girl named Pana, to another
named Gomany, and to a third named Animan. From the
terms in which he speaks of all his domestics, we infer that
his treatment of them was humane and considerate in tho
extreme.

This article, which is very prolix, is followed by thirty-
three others, nineteen of which consist of minute directions as
to legacies left to these and other female slaves, for whom he
provides most liberally.

By article 20 he leaves 40,000 sicca-rupees to his uncle,
Louis Martin, and a similar sum to another uncle, named Peter.
To his three aunts he leaves 30,000 sicca rupees each, without
any deduction, and smaller legacies to several more distant
relatives.

Art. 21 relates to the disposition of his jewels and pieces of
stuff of various descriptions and values.

Art. 22 oontains a most curious exposition of his religions
sentiments, which appear to have been altogether idiosyncratic.
Unfortunately, it is too verbose to admit of quotation.

Art. 23 deals with the sum of 150,000 rupees to be dis¬
tributed to the poor in various parts of India.

Art. 24 appropriates the sum of 200,000 sicca-rupees to the
foundation of a school in Calcutta; and

Art. 25 disposes of a similar sum for the establishment of a
school at Lyons, both to be called La Martiniere, and to bear
over the principal entrance an inscription as follows :—“ Insti¬
tuted by Major-General Martin, bora January, 1735, at Lyons,
who died the . . . of . . . and was buried at . . .”

To this he adds the sum of 250,000 sicca-rupees, to be in¬
vested so that tho interest may supply a certain number of
dowries to form tho marriage portion, each year, of the best-
conducted of the girls.

He gives 4000 sicca-rupees for the liberation of prisoners
detained for debt in Calcutta, and 40,000 for the same purpose
at Lyons.

Art. 2G contains sonic supplementary directions to one or
two of the preceding, and mentions additional bequests of large
amount to before-named legatees.

Art. 27 indicates such of his landed and house property as
is to he sold.

Art. 28 gives 5000 sicca-rupees to the magistrates of Cal¬
cutta to pay the debts of poor soldiers, and 1000 rupees for tho
liberation of prisoners for debt.

Art. 29 specifies several widows to whom pensions aro to
be accorded.

Art. 30. “When l die I require that my body shall bo
salted, soaked in spirits of wine, or embalmed; afterwards it
shall be deposited in a lead coffin, made from sheets of lead
from my godovm. This lead coffin to be inclosed in an outer
coffin of sissoo-wood of two inches thick, and deposited in tho
vault of my house at Lackpara, called Constantia. The tomb
to be raised two feet from the ground, covered with a marble
slab inscribed with my name, and a dome to be built over it—
Major-General Martin, bora at Lyons, January, 1735 ;
arrived in India as soldier in the ranks, and died at . . .,

&c. Pray for his souL ”

Art. 31 gives minute directions as to the construction of his
monument, and the sums to he expended on it.

Art. 33 orders the conversion of his house at Lack-
para into a college for the instruction of the English language
and the Christian religion ; also for giving hospitality to
strangers visiting Lucknow, but who are not to remain more
than two months at a time.

Art. 34 appoints executors, aud names large legacies
to them, with a few additional pensions ; sums up the whole
amount disposed of as reaching the incredibly large sum of
330, (ISO,000 rupees ; and even after that mentions a possible
surplus of £100,000, of which he directs the disposal in various
charities.

A meeting of the council of the College of Preceptors was
held on Saturday last, when the diploma of licentiate was
presented to Miss M. C. Boyle, and that of associate to Miss
A M. Boyce.

Lord Salisbury had an agreeable reply for the deputation of
the Manchester Chamber of Commerce, which waited upon him
last Saturday, to advocate the introduction of commercial men
iuto the Council of India. His Lordship not only acknow¬
ledged that the proposition was right in the abstract, but pro¬
mised his best endeavour to satisfy tho wish of tho deputation.

THE FAMINE IN BENGAL : GRAIN-BOATS ON THE GANGES.

MAKCH 21, 1874

THE FAMINE IN BENGAL.

Our Illustration of native boats with grain on the Canges has
a certain interest connected with the present deplorable state
of that populous country. The Ganges roaches the sea, like
the Nile, by a number of mouths, and, llowing through Bengal,
it wiUJgive a means of aeuding relief to many parts of the district
by means of these boats. The boats are made of wood, but all
the superstructure is of bamboo and matting, which, being light,
is well adapted for the purpose. What strikes one on first
going up the Hooghly or the Ganges is the torn condition of
the sails of the native boats, and “ Why don’t they mend
them?” is the natural question. The answer to this would
most likely be something about 14 is moolk ko dustoor,” or
custom of the country. Custom is a tyrant everywhere, but
in India it holds a sort of imperial sway. In fact, famines,
and many evils there, are to a certain extent owing to this evil
power. The natives are helplessly under its sway, and its in¬
fluence on them has a tendency to* paralyse the good intentions
of the Government. It requires a mutiny or terrible famine in
India to get quit of some ridiculous habit or caste usage. One
may often hear the English Government officials, after a calamity
of this kind, congratulating themselves that some wretched
“dustoor,” or custom, which had long stood in the way, has
been at length got rid of.

NEW BOOKS.

A book to keep by one and to dip into occasionally for enter¬
tainment, and, sooth to say, for instruction, and hints, and
suggestions, and aids to memory and the like is Our English
Surnames, llutir Sources and Significations , by Charles Warning
Bardsley, M.A. (Chatto and Wind us). The time and labour
expended upon such a compilation, for, after all, it is hardly
more than a compilation, must have been enormous, and one
can only hope that j>ublic appreciation may be such as to
satisfy the compiler. Something of the same sort has more
than once before been published ; but nothing, if memory may
be trusted, remarkable for the same minute elaboration. The
podgy volume contains quite an embarrassment of riches, so
far as its particular subject is concerned. It were
ungrateful not to make mention here of Mr. Mark
Antony Lower’s researches, from which everybody who has
had occasion to become acquainted with them must have
derived both pleasure and profit, and to which Mr.
Bardsley acknowledges himself to have been largely indebted ;
but the present work, so far as one can speak from remem¬
brance, seems to bear towards Mr. Lower’s works much the
same relation that a body dressed and laid out bears to the
same body stripped stark for anatomical investigation. Not
but w r hat the dress can lie removed and the anatomical inves¬
tigation proceeded with all the same. The author devotes one
chapter to a consideration of “patronymic surnames,” one
chapter to a consideration of 44 local surnames,” one chapter to
a consideration of “ surnames of office,” two chapters to a con¬
sideration of “surnames of occupation,” derived partly from
occupations of the country and partly from occnpations of the
town, and one chapter to a consideration of nicknames. Besides
ail this, there is a general preface ; there is an introductory
chapter ; there is an appendix to the two chapters referring to
occupations; there is a “preface to index;” and, lastly,
there is an index, the fulness of which may be surmised from
the fact that it occupies eighty-one pages out of live hundred
and seventy-three. Some of our more aristocratic surnames
will be looked for vainly in the index, and a reason why may
be given in the body of the work; if so, it has been overlooked.,
but may be easily divined, seeing that the origin of such names
is either self-apparent or to be found explained in books of

D e, baronetage, and landed gentry. Such a work as M r.

cy’s is plaiidy no more to be read through continuously
than Johnson a Dictionary, which w as jironounced by the simyile
lady who went through it at a stretch to be excellent so far as
the language was concerned but a little tedious and incoherent
in point of story. Mr. Bardsley’s laborious compilation, taken
piecemeal, is likely to convey a great deal of information and
to afford no little amusement, although very many of the
facetious anecdotes are anything but novelties.

It would have been a gracious deed had a short preface been
written to explain what, if any, special object had prompted
the publication of Wilkes, Sheridan, Fox: the Opposition under
George III., by W. F. Rae (W, Isbister and Co.). The three
personages whose names are most conspicuous upon the title-
page cannot be said to have suffered from neglect; so far from
having been allowed to sink into unmerited oblivion, it is
doubtful whether any three men ever lived whose memories
have been kept so green. I’erhaps, however, one can discover
some reason for the new sketch of John VVilkes and his career;
it was apparently undertaken with a view of making him some*
w r hat less hideous than he appears in most of, if not in all, the
portraits hitherto exhibited of him. Perhaps, too, the new
picture of Sheridan was undertaken from a generous fear that
depreciation was beginning to do its dirty work with the name
of a famous “wit and orator, dramatist and politician,” and
from a desire to draw a parallel between the career of Sheridan
and that of 4 'the attorney’s clerk of Hebrew race who has risen
to be Prime Minister of the United Kingdom,” however incom¬
plete the parallel may be. And perhaps it was considered desir¬
able to once more go over the old ground on which Fox ran his
splendid course in order to show that “not the small and
exclusive section of modern Whigs,” but ‘‘members of the
great party of progress have the best title to rank Fox among
their noblest and worthiest chiefs. ' At any rate, if the work
were to be done, it has been done as well as even an exacting
reader could require ; the author has chosen for treatment three
subjects which can never cease to exercise a certain fasci¬
nation, he seems to have employed the very best materials, he
has the skill of a ready and a readable writer, and he writes
as if his heart had insyiired his pen.

A work of singular value and of the deepest interest is
Incidents of the Sepoy War , 1857-8, compiled from the private
journals of General Sir Hope Grant, G.C.B., together with
some explanatory chapters by Henry Knoll vs, Captain Rov.il
Artillery (William Blackwood and Sons). It is a comparatively
small volume ; but its contents, so far at any rate as weight
and importance go. may be truly described as multum in parvo.
To prove the extraordinary quality of the material forming the
basis of the volume it is only necessary to mention that the
diary which Sir Hope Grant kept “was no after-thought com-
pilation. Day after day the events of the preceding twenty-
four hours were committed to paper while fresh in the writer’s
memory.” It strikes ouo as almost incredible that the diary
“ composed under circumstances of harassing fatigue and of
the dangers of warfare,” and such a warfare, should have been
kept at all, especially by one whose position must have afforded
him the Jess opportunity for taking notes for the very reason
that it gave him the greater opportunity of having his head
full of what was worth noting ; and one is, therefore, the more
grateful to find that the diary was, somehow, kept, and that
4 in no single instance have the statements of facts, or opinions
expressed, been departed from.” An introductory chapter is

followed by a chapter of the 44 journal; ” thou comes a “com-
mentatory ” chapter, succeeded by another chapter of
“journal;” after which there is a “ comincntatory and
explanatory” chapter, followed by four chapters of “journal
ami in this fashion we are brought at last to the end of the
terrible mutiny, aud to the moment when Kir Hope Grant is
nominated “to the command of the British force abont to pro¬
ceed to China to co-operate with the French in repairing the
disaster which had been suffered in the attack on the Baku
forts.” A supplementary appendix concludes the volume, aud
the useful map has not been forgotten. Of course the general
outline of the events to which the journal or journals refer is
exactly the same as that with which we have all, from one
source or another, been long familiar; but the invaluable
advantage of Sir Hope's diary is that it not only records
incidents “ not generally known,” but it enables us to
compare what we have read or heard with what is stated on his
high personal authority and was jotted down before time had
added or subtracted anything, and to have our impressions con¬
firmed or corrected. Horrors, as might lie expected, ore plenti¬
ful ; hut there is no lack of the bright, and even the ludicrous.
There is something extremely comic in the anecdote about the
‘‘nice gentle-looking lady ” who is seated on the floor, told that
she “ must get up,” answers, in melancholy accents, 44 1 cannot
move,” is supposed, consequently, to be severely wounded, is
tenderly asked whether such is the case, and replies, angelically,

4 ‘No; it'8 rupees.”

An attempt to criticise, in a few brief sentences, a treatise
which is the result of years of study aud labour w ould be an
act of injustice to the author. We must therefore content our¬
selves in the present instance by simply directing attention to
a few points of general interest m Dr. Prosser .James’s
meritorious little volume Lessons on Laryngoscopy (Bail!i6re,
Tindall, and Cox). It may not be amiss to explain that
laryngoscopy is a comparatively new branch of the healing art,
exclusively devoted to the examination of the throat or larynx.
By means of a mirror applied, in somewhat the same way as the
better-known instrument the ophthalmoscope is employed in
examining the eye, the physician is enabled to see, as it were,
round a corner, examine by reflection in a mirror the image of
the throat, and quietly study its various diseases. Dr. Prosser
James was among the first to recoguise the great utility of this
ingenious invention, and to employ it in the treatment of
throat affections, as well as in demonstrations before a class of
students attending a metropolitan hospital. The merit of the
invention is due to M. Garcia, an able professor of singing still
living, who, it appears, was induced to experimentalise upon
himself, from a desire to ascertain the exact movements of the
vocal cords while in the act of producing musical notes. M.
Garcia did not merely make a suggestion aud leave others to test
it, but, having satisfied himself of the value of his observations
in auto-laryngoscopy, he proceeded to write a description of
w hat he had accomplished and presented his paper to the moat
critically scientific body in the world, the Royal Society. We
fully agree with Dr. James when he states, “In the light of all
that has since been done, the accuracy of the descriptions first
recorded by this ingenious and scientific professor of singing is
most remarkable. His paper would have done credit to an ex¬
pert anatomist and physiologist; and, reading it now, one cannot
but wonder that the Royal Society did not confer some signal
reward upon the author.” The paper was printed in the
Proceedings of the society, and is entitled “Observations on
the Human Voice,” by Manuel Garcia. It was communicated
by Dr. Sharpey, March, 1855. As the contents of the paper
are not generally knowm, Dr. Prosser James devotes to it ten
or a dozen pages, w'hich are well worth perusal. These
“ Lessons in Laryngoscopy” are written in an attractive and
agreeable style, and must become a valuable manual for
students and a guide for the more advanced practitioner. The
text is fully illustrated, and several coloured plates, executed
by Messrs. Leighton Brothers in their best htyle, will be duly
appreciated by the readers of Dr. James's work.

All who arc interested in the innovative theories of the
modern school of German music—especially those who have
not yet made it a subject of inquiry- will derive advantage and
instruction from Dr. Franz Hueffer’s book, Richard Wagner
and the. Music of the Future, recently published by Messrs.
Chapman and Hall. The author of this w r ork possesses the
rare advantage of the combination of a classical and philosophical
education with practical musical knowledge, together with
a mastery over the English language that betrays few signs of
its not being his native tongue. It is impossible here to give even
an outline of the powerful, and sometimes eloquent, reasoning
by which Dr. Hueffer advocates the justice ol Wagner’s art-
principles, and recognises their realisation in his opera-dramas.
On the vexed question of the relative importance of poetry
and music in their stage association, he well says, 44 The free
expression of intense and abundant feeling in poetry is but
too often encumbered by the speculative structure of language,
while, on the other hand, the soaring flight of music lacks a
starting-point of strictly-refined and recognisable pathos.
Music and poetry, therefore, by both their powei*s and weak¬
nesses, are referred to each other’s aid ; and the results of
their combination will be of a higher order than is attainable
by either of them in their separate state. On the other hand,
it cannot b e denied that their close union will bo made possible
only by a mutual compromise, in w’hich each of them has to
resign certain peculiarities of its own in favour of the common
aim. _ 1 he illustration of modern romanticism in German
music is continued by supplemental papers on Schubert,
Schumann, L szt, and Franz, in each of which there is much
interesting matter—indeed, the volume is one of the most
valuable contributions to the literature of music that has been
published for many years. Although some portions of it have
appeared in magazines, these have been so much recast and
so largely amplified that the work is virtually a new’ one.

The beautiful art of lace-making, which Mrs. Bury Palliser
and other w’nters have made a subject of literary and historical
treatment, is practically discussed by Mrs. Treadwin, of
Exeter, one of the most successful manufacturers at this time.
Antique Point and Ifoniton Lace (Ward, Lock, and Tyler) is a
book that will be useful to many industrious and intelligent
ladies, who have a taste for this elegant product of feminine
skill, though now to a great extent supplied by machine-wmrk.
Mrs. Treadwin contributed to the records of the Exhibition
of 1851 some evidence of the manufacture of Devonshire
lace two centuries and a half ago. The local trade
has been revived* "within the last thirty-five years, by
the patronage, in the first instance, of the late Queen
Adelaide, who once visited Devonshire, and more effectually by
that of Queen Victoria, whose father resided at Sidmouth. The
bridal dress of her Majesty, in 1S40, w^as of Houiton lace made
at the village of Beer, near Seaton ; and this example, follow ed
by many others, has aided to obtain public encouragement for
a branch of industry still held in repute throughout East Devon.
Mis. Treadwin, as a native of that district, feels something
more than a mere commercial interest in the renown of its lace
manufacture. She has written a clear account of the different
patterns and. processes to he applied to this pretty handiwork.
Ihe volume is illustrated by one hundred engravings.

FINE ARTS.

SOCIETY OF LADY ARTISTS.

This society has shifted the venue of its exhibitions from
Conduit-street to a gallery at 48, Great Marlborough-street.
The new f gallery consists of two rooms, the larger of which
contains w’ater-colour drawings—the smaller, oil-paintings.
Increased wall-space appears to havo been gained ; for.the col¬
lection is considerably larger than heretofore ; and it is grati¬
fying to be able to add that the standard of merit has not
suffered in consequence.

Still, however, the ablest professional female artists abstain
from supporting this society, or send (with rare exceptions)
unimportant examples of their powers. As soon as a female
artist feels competent to enter the arena of the ordinary exhi¬
bitions, she almost invariably does so. Consequently, this
exhibition of “ lady artists ” is not adequately representative
of woman’s artistic attainments ; nor would it bo just to
“ woman’s cause ” to pretend that it were otherwise. Art is
of no sex ; and no woman seriously devoted to art would, we
imagine, care to have her productions regarded in a spirit of
charitable allowance or disingenuous compliment.

With so many schools of art free to female students among
us it is unpleasantly significant to find so large a proportion of
the more artistic works in this collection evincing foreign
influence or training. Take, for instance, No. 530, “A
Dutch Interior,” by Miss Swift. This, which is probably
the best piece of interior-painting in the exhibition, clearly
owes its powerful colour and effect to the influence of

M. Brnchop, the eminent Dutch painter and husband of the
artist’s sister. Then Mrs. Benhain Hay—whose “Tobit’a
Return to his Father” (522) reappears here, having been
already exhibited some years back—studied art for several
years in Italy. Miss Clara Montalba directly imitates the
French painter Corot in her oil “Sketch” (452); and her
water- colour sketches seem foreign in feeling, though entirely
dissimilar in their key of rich colour and mellow harmony.
Miss Fanny Duncan’s “ Evening Primroses ”(559) are obviously
treated a la Fantin ; and foreign influence is observable in the
contributions of Misses Clara Biller (533 and 541), Ribbing,
aud Beatrice Meyer—“A Street Scene in Liverpool ”(252).

In many works of English character, too, the Jadies appear
to be dependent on teachers—the works often recall the styles
of inale painters of the same surnames as those of the exhi¬
bitors. It is not hard to divine what may be expected in a
drawing of 44 Fair Rosamond” (23), by Miss Emma Sandys
(w’hich is very firmly pencilled, though hardly a feminine typo
of beauty), or in the pretty little pictures by Mrs. E. M. and
Miss Flora Ward (492 aud 223), or in the contributions of
Misses Gastineau, Linn ell, Rebecca Solomon, anil others. 44 A
Head ” (592), painted on china by Miss Rebecca Coleman, may
likewise be said to be imitative of a given manner; ” and Miss
Allrige’s “Iras” (56) somewhat resembles, in its harmonious
colouring, but weak drawing, the “ Spring Time ” (199) of Miss
Solomon.

Among works of more originality or freshness a foremost
place must be assigned to Elizabeth Thompson’s exceedingly
spirited drawing representing Bengal Lancers engaged in the
diversion or sport of “ tent-pegging ” (247). Whatever tech¬
nical shortcomings may be found in this artist’s work, she
certainly has au extraordinary faculty for expressing energetic
action in men and animals and seizing the most characteristic
points of an incident. This “tent-pegging” is a suitable sub¬
ject for the display of this lady’s special gift. The swoop¬
ing charge of the tilting horsemen, the disappointment of the
one who has missed and angrily reins in his horse; the
triumph of him who, having carried off a peg, waves it ou
the point of his lance; and the interest of the spec¬
tators about the lists, are all capitally rendered. Under the
well-known initials “E. V. B.” are exhibited a set (246) of four
large compositions of cats, monkeys, and birds, surrounded
with leafy branches, the arrangement and effective colour ot
which are admirably suited for a decorative purpose—as, for
example, the compartments of a screen. Close to these is a
drawing, entitled “ Chftteau en Espagne” (245), by Miss Vic¬
toria l^evin, representing a young lady seated, looking out of
an open casement towards a mass of sunlighted flowers, which
is pleasaut and bright, and not a little promising technically.
Miss Louise Rayner’s architectural subjects—notably, the views
of Edinburgh, Salisbury, and Chester—are as remarkable as
ever for their rendering of stone and other textures, and for
their picturesque aud animated treatment generally. There is
a large and able drawing of “Edinburgh” (93), by Mrs.
Stewart Smith.

We have also to commend to notice the following, as pre¬
senting merit or promise :—“A Snowy St. Valentine’s Day”
(361), by Miss Adelaide Maguire; 44 Hesitation ” (230), by Mrs.
Paul Naftel ; “La Belle Fermtore ” (Pi), by H. Kempe ; “ I’ho
Family Loaf: Larens, Basses Pyrenees” (101), by Ellen
Partridge; “ Rosalie—a Child of Sorrento” (161), by Mrs.
Backhouse; “In My Lady’s Chamber” (476), by Mrs. Louisa
Jopling (Romer) ; “The Jesuit” (509), a characteristic oil study
of a head, by Mary S. Tovey; “ l’he Golden Age” (578), by
Miss Julia Pocock ; 44 Chapel of S. Clemente, S. Marc’#,
Venice” (236), by Miss Alice Boyd ; two Algerian subjects by
Madame Bodichon; “ A Land-Storm ” (493), one of the very few
landscapes with an impressive or poetical intention, by Miss
Helen Thornyeroft; “ Moonlight in the Engadine” (156), with
other meritorious landscapes, by Mrs. Marrable ; “The Pick of
the Litter” (560), by Miss L. B. Swift ; “ Designs for Plates”
(421), by Mrs. Mark A. Bourdin ; and the contributions of
Mrs. Cliarretie, E Macirone, Eliza Sharpe. M. Ellen Edwards,

N. God sail, Mrs. E. B. King, Susan 0. Domett, Sophia Beale,
Marian Edwards, S. S. Warren, and A. B. Ellis.

Readers of this Journal know that for several years past ^
have been greatly indebted to Air. William Simpson (as o
of our Special Artists) for sketches which, reproduced in bln
and white, have furnished us with illustrations of vario
memorable events and scenes in many parts of the globe,
selection from this artist’s original sketches now forms an exl
bition of altogether peculiar interest at the Burlingtou Gallcr
1 iccadillv, opposite Burlington House. The phrase “ Rom
the \\orld,” which is applied to these selected sketches (as
a book of travel Mr. Simpson has lately produced), thong
certes, apparently a sufficiently comprehensive phrase, yet m:
con\ey a very imperfect idea of this truly cosmopolitan artist
explorations and adventures. To perform the entire circuit
this world, as Mr. Simpson did in the last mission he unde
took from the Illustrated Loudon Xeu\i, is assuredly a coi
siderable exploit; yet, though the artist took a course far fro
direct in this journey, it has yielded only a minor portion of tl
sketches m this exhibition His successive travels have, i

bercd that he sent home pictures—of course, furtively ob¬
tained— of the interior of the Great Temple of Heaven at
Pekin, of the ceremonies of the Imperial wedding, and other
most curious Celestial scenes ami incidents, which scarcely
another European has ever contrived to witness, much less to
preserve and publish piotorially. His illustrations of the mar¬
vellously rapid changes the Japanese are undergoing since their
acceptance of European civilisation are scarcely less remark¬
able ; and then como tho grimly-vivid representations of tho
extermination of the Modoc savages on the far side of tho
American Continent. Surely, after having “done” this planet
thus completely, tho aitist must, like Alexander, sigh for other
worlds to conquer.

On, however, the many joumeyings which have served
to enrich our pages, and of several of which some mementoes
remain to diversify the more recent sketches in this col¬
lection, we cannot dwell in detail. It may suffice to say
that, besides tho admirable series of sketches in the Crimea
during tho Russian War, which first brought the artist pro¬
minently into public notice; besides tho water-colour drawings
of India, Cashmere, and Thibet, which formed a special exhi¬
bition a few years back ; and besides a series of draw¬
ings of the recent excavations in and about Jerusalem,
aud of scenes and sites in the Holy Land, Mr. Simpson
lias produced, countless illustrations in the tours he has
undertaken as our Special Artist to Russia on the
occasion of the* marriage of the Ocsarewitch and Princess
Dagmar, to Abyssinia during the war, to Egypt on the opening
of the Suez Canal, to Rome at the sitting of the (Ecumenical
Council, to the seat of tho Franco-German war (daring which
ho was present at Metz, Sedan, and Strasbourg), aud lastly
Round fcne World, as already mentioned. Mr. Simpson was,
too, in Paris during the reign of tho Commune, the fall of the
Vcn lOuio (’olumn, the week’s fighting, and the burning of a
portion of the city. As indicating the difficulties aud dangers
under which many of these sketches were executed we cannot
refrain from inviting special attention to a large drawing of the
44 Battle-Fields of Sedan” (96), made shortly before the final
catastrophe. This was ‘‘done on the spot” (at Donehery)
during the heat of the battle, and—no other material being at
bund—on the back of a piece of wall-paper, as may bo seen by
tho pattern showing through ; yet the drawing presents with
extreme minuteness and apparently the most deliberate topo¬
graphical accuracy a panorama of the country about Sedan, so
extensive that the positions of the long investing lines as well
as of the beleaguered host may be traced throughout.

But, apart from the unprecedented variety of interest in the
subjects represented, there are artistic qualities in these
sketches which it would be unfair to the artist to pass un¬
noticed on the occasion of this their public exhibition. Of
the high position as a water-colour painter to which Mr.
Simpson is entitled an idea may be formed from his more
finished drawings here, such aa the view of Magdala (97) ; and
some scenes of Coptic Church ceremonial ; “The Great Wail
of China” (55), “ Stones in the Old Temple Wall, Jerusalem ”
(163), and several other subjects from the Holy Land. The
conditions under which moat of these works were produced
seldom, however, permitted such comnletiou “on the spot.”
Nevertheless, however hasty or slight, they are always
sketches iu the best and truest sense of the word—far more
so than nine out of ten of the productions which figure in
our winter exhibitions of so-called sketches. Mr. Simpson's
powers of observation are singularly keen, though always con¬
trolled by a sense of the picturesque; and he is ever on the
alert. He unerringly seizes and hits off the essential
characteristics of all that ho depicts, whether peculiarities of
physiognomy, costumes, or customs, topography, architecture,
or shipping, earth, sea, or sky. His skill in arranging figures
is particularly exemplified in several Japanese and Chinese
subjects, and also in scenes on the “ P. and O. steamers.” It
is the freedom from mannerism—tho fidelity to the aspect of
strange scenes aud races which render his sketches so suitable
for engraving, little of their essence being liable to be lost iu
the process of translation. In conclusion, we may safely
recommend a visit to the little Burlington Gallery, as certain
to prove both instructive and agreeable in a high degree.

OIUTUAltY OF EMINENT PERSONS.

THE DUCHESS DOWAGER OF RICHMOND*

Tin* inoat noble Caroline. Duchess Dowager of Richmond, died
on the 12th inst. Her Grace, who was born June 6, 1796, the
eldest daughter of Field Marshal llcury William, lirst Marquis
of Anglesey, K G., l»y Lady Carol ne Elizabeth Villicrs, his
first wife, married, April 10, 1817, Charles, fifth Duke of
Richmond, K G., and had five sons and six daughters. Of the
sons, the eldest is tho present Duke of Richmond, and the
third. Lord Henry 1/ennox, M 1\, First Commissioner of
Works. Tlie second son, Lord Fitzroy Lennox, was lost in the
President steamer, iu 1841. The three surviving daughters
arc Caroline Amelia, Countess of Bessborough; Augusta,
Countess of Dornburg, the wife of 1LS.H. Prince Edward of
Saxe-Weimar ; and Cecilia, Lady Bingham. Tho Duclieas,
once celebrated for sin k assing beauty, was during her whole
life the regard of the circle in which she moved.

CATTAIN CmmiAM-STKODB, 11. N.

Captain Augustus Chethatn-Strodo, C.B., who died at Cannes,
on the 10th inst., was the youngest son of Admiral Sir Edward
Chctliam-Strode, K.C.B., K.C.H., of Southhill House, in the
county of Somerset, and brother of tho present Edward Charles
Chctham-Strode, Esq., of Southhill House. Captain Strode
entered the Navy in 1839, and served on board the Benbow (74)
in the operations off tho coast of Syria and at the bombardment
of St. Jean d’Acre, in 1840. Subsequently, after acting as
gunnery Lieutenant of the Hastings (74) flagship in China, he
was in the St. George (120) in the Baltic during the Russian
War of 1854 ; then in the Royal Albert flagship, in tho Black
Sea, and until the end of the war as first Lieutenant of the
Vesuvius, in tho Sea of Azof, under Captain (now Admiral)
Sherard Osborn, by whom he was repeatedly noticed in the
despatches. After promotion to tho rank of Commander iu
1856, he was appointed to the command of the Vulcan troop¬
ship, on the China station, and was actively employed under
Admiral Sir James Hojie, with the troops under General
Staveiey, at the taking of the Pciho Forts, and had charge of
the breaching artillery at the capture of four fortified towns,
for which duties he was honourably mentioned in the naval
and military despatches. In January, 1861, he was for
three days and nights engagtd in rescuing 650 pas¬
sengers of the Bhip India, wrecked iu the Straits of
Malacca, for which hazardous service he received the written
approbation of the Lords of the Admiralty. He was promoted
to the rank of Captain in 1863, and subsequently made Captain
of the Port of Gibraltar. In 1870 he received the command of
the Bellerophon until paid off, when he was appointed Captain
of the Pylades, one of the flying squadron, which was, iu 1870,
detached to the Brazilian station. Here h« remained until
invalided. Captain Strode received for war services six medals
and three clasps, the companionship of the Bath, and the order
of the Medjidie.

The British steamer Laconia, from Alexandria, arrived at

beeu to Mecca. Before weighing anchor at Tunis 117 were
washed overboard by a tremendous wave and drowned.

A Inndsome piece of plate—an elegant epergne, standing
upon a massivo circular plateau—has been presented to the
Rev. Canon Hinds Howell, on Behalf of the subscribers to the
fund for entertaining the National Association for the Pro¬
motion of Social Science iu Norwich last year, in recognition of
tho valuable sendees rendered by him as chief local secretary.

Tho annual collection at the various manufactories and
workshops on behalf of the local medical charities was made at
Bi rm i ngh a m last Saturday, aud resulted in a total of £3170
which is about the same as in the corresponding period last
year. Some large contributions, however, have yet to come
hi, and there is every reason to hope that the ultimate total
will equal that of 1873, when £4600 was collected.

A new cottage hospital, erected by subscription in me¬
mory of the late Marquis of Westminster, was opened on
Monday, at Shaftesbury, hy the Bishop of Salisbury, in presence
ot a numerous company, it is a picturesque building, erected
at a point which commands an extensive view of the Vale of
Black moor. The site was given by the Dowager Marchioness
of Westminster, ami the cost of the building has been about
£2000. Iu addressing the company, the Bishop said he could
scarcely turn his eyes anywhere in the neighbourhood of Shaftes¬
bury without seeing abundant evidence of the i^reat liberality
and beneficence of the late Marquis of Westminster, and he
was giad to observe that those works of benevolence w ere bein'*
continued by the Dowager Marehionrss to the cottages, alrns^
houses, and churches which the family had erected. No more
fitting response could have been made by the public of that
neighbourhood than by the erection of a cottage hospital.

X has gained for itself the highest reputation, and a decided
preference over all other “ hair-dressing*/ as evinced from certifi¬
cates and testimonials from the most respectable sources. Being
compounded with the greatest care—combining, as it does, all the
most desirable qualities **f the best hair preparations of the day,
without tho object tenable ones—it may be relied on as the very best
known to chemistry for restoring the natural colour to the hair,
and causing new hair to grow on bald spots, unless the hair glands
arc decayed; for If the glands are decayed and gone no stimulant
can restore them ; but If, as Is often the case, the glands axe only
torpid, TUB MEXICAN HAIR RENEWER will renew tholr
vitality, and a new growth of hair will fo low. Read tho following
Testimonial from Dr Versmnnn, Pb.D. :—

•' Mr Henry C. Gallup, 49.1, Oxford-street, London.

" Dear Sir,—l have made a thorough chemical analysis of your
preparation called ‘The Mexican Hair Renewcr,’ and think It far
superior to any hair preparation I have ever known. It Is an In¬
genious compound, as harmless as it Is beneficial.

MEXICAN HAIR RENEWER.

The constitution of the person and the condition of the scalp have
much to do with the length of time it requires for new hair to
grow ; also thin or thick hair will depend much upon the vital force
remaining In tho hair glands New hain are first seen to start
around the margin of the liald spots, near the permanent hair, and
extruding upwards null! the spots are covered more or less thickly
with fine short hair. Excessive brushing should be guarded against
as soon as tho small hairs make their appearance ; bnt the scalp may
he sponged with rain-water to advantage occasionally. The scalp
may he pressed and moved on the bone by the fiugerends, which
quickens tho circulation ai d softens the spots which have remained
long bald. On applying this hair-d rearing it enlivens the scalp, and.
In cases where the hair begins to fall, a few applications will arrest it,
and the new growth presents the luxuriance aud ctlour of youth.

“The Mexican Hair Rcnewer” may be procured of any first-class
Perfumer, Chemist, or Dealer in *1 oilet Articles throughout the king-
dom at ha. fid. per Bottle. In case the dealer has not the pre¬

pOYAL ALBERT HALL CHORAL SOCIETY, motion, chiclly by private members, seems to iudic.^

that no disposition exists to abridge the amount of tia-
profitable talk. The House of Commons, albeit it lia*
witnessed a change in the balance of political power
exhibits much the same characteristics as have distin¬
guished it in recent times. It is, perhaps, less excited
than lias been the case for the last five years. It km
before it no Ministerial announcement calculated to stir
its blood. There is plenty of business to be do.ie
between this and the end of July, and one may Well
imagine that tlie House will see the necessity of eeoru>.
mising its time. But the business, for the most part b
that which falls within the region of routine. Thjre h
110 immediate prospect of critical party struggles, Hj
propositions to be submitted to it by the authority of
Government likely to kindle either in Parliament or tha
country more than a flickering flame of political passion.
IVc may look forward to a quiet Session, not wholly
barren, but not very fruitful.

We are not disposed to complain of this. There is
a a time for all things ”—a time for heroic legislation
and a time for rest from it. Her Majesty’s present
Ministers have done wisely in adapting their official
programme to the exigencies of the day. They came
into oflice at a period and under circumstances which
forbade them to indulge any impulse, even if they fob
it, to adventure into the area of “ la haute politique.”
The weeks which are necessary for maturing any plan of
ambitious policy did not fall to their lot. "The mood of
the country, as signified by the result of the election,
was unfavourable to great undertakings. No doubt
public interest will be excited by the proposals of the
Chancellor of the Exchequer for the application of the
anticipated surplus revenue. But should he submit
Ho Parliament a reasonable and even-handed schema
for that purpose, no very serious opposition to it
is to be looked for. The Estimates for the services,
framed * chiefly, it is to be surmised, on th^
responsibility of [their predecessors, and amounting, in
thc whole, to a sum total but little short of that of List
year, will probably be accepted with less searching
criticism than has frequently been brought to bear upon
them. The substantial measures of legislation relating
to law reform and to the alleged grievance of the licensed
victuallers will not, it is supposed, enlist to any serious
extent tlie party feeling of Parliament, although they
may demand some nicety of attention and tact of treat¬
ment to bring them to a successful conclusion. M r e have
seen as yet no symptom of a reactionary spirit. We
scarcely believe iu its existence. The sessional march
will be taken in slow time, but there is no reason to
apprehend that it will be taken backward.

Nevertheless, the Conservative Government will ha®
plenty of work on its hands. It has to deal with a state
1 of things in India sufficiently alarming to burden the
I sense of responsibility of any Cabinet; and to some ex¬
tent, and for some purposes, it will iind itself under the
obligation of taking counsel from Parliament in the
fulfilment of its duties. It seems to be now admitted,
even by the Indian Government, that the famine iu
Bengal has assumed proportions far more stupendous
than had been officially anticipated. The correspondents
of the daily press have brought under tho notice of the
British people a state of suffering and a possibility of
death arising from tlie calamitous drought of the last two
months which, it is to be feared, no exercise of wisdom,
no ingenuity of resource, no intensity or persistency of
effort, will prove competent wholly to avert. This legacy
of anxiety and toil her Majesty’s Government have eom>
into the inheritance of by no fault of their own. They
will need all the statesmanship with which they aw
endowed to deal with it even with comparative succsst
They appear to be fully alive to the solemn important#
of their task. Money will not be wanting to do wint¬
erer money can do in arresting the calamity. Graia wifi
not be wanting in sufficient quantity to sustain life—-if
only it ^ean be so distributed as to reach in turn* dua
famishing districts. The main Tcf which the

attention of the Government is being devoted just now
is an adequate provision and organisation of ths
means of transport. E\ery nerve is being strained
to tlie utmost, both in India, aiid at home, to
overcome the difficulties with which delay In*
unfortunately surrounded this vital question. Shuntd

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS

Fures to the criticism of tkewholeHouse—:sow3 plan whi-.h
is based upon the principle of a division, and, therefore,
an economy, of labour—will be acknowledged before long,
we should hope, to be absolutely imperative. As matters
are now managed, it is utterly impossible for the
members of the Lower House to get through their duties
a\ith satisfaction to themselves or with due benefit to the
country. A well-considered reorganisation of the
methods of conducting the affairs of the Legislature
■would be an enterprise, less showy indeed, but more
substantially valuable, than many others upon which the
existing Government might enter. Of course, it is too
late to attempt it this Session. Hut, should her
Majesty's Ministers be prepared to submit a reasonable
scheme for this object at the beginning of next Session,
they will assuredly earn a good title to the earnest
gratitude both of Parliament and the country.

According to a Calcutta telegram the treaty with Yarkund
was signed on Feb. 2.

The National Rifle Association’s now regulations state that
in ir dividual Bhooting ties Bhall be shot off, except where money
prizes of equal value are at stake, when the tiemg competitors
will be bracketed as equal. The register-keeper in charge of
the tie-shooting may (according to instructions) call upon any
competitor there and then to fire a second and even a third
shot. In squad or match shooting, if for a money prize, the
tie will be decided by decision ; it for a prize in kind, by the
segregate scores made at the longest distance in the competition;
il still a tie, by the fewest outers ; and, if still a tic, by the
competitors on each aide who have made the highest score in
the competition firing five rounds at the longest distance. In
special cases ties will be decided by dividing the prize and by
the fewest outers ; in volley-firing by division, by the fewest
outers, and by the fewest misses ; if still a tie, by awarding tho
prize to be held for equal periods of the year by the successful
battalions.

The targets for the future will be on the Swiss system—a
circle of 40 ia. diameter at 200 yards ; a circle of 70 in. at 500
and f>00 yards; and at 800, 000, and 1000 yards, and at
400 yards for volley-firing, 6 ft. by 12 ft. The divisions on the
face of the target shall be At 200 yards, bull’s-eye circular,
Sin. in diameter; centre circular, 16 in. ; inner circular, 28 iu. ;
and outer circular, 40 in. At 500 and 600 yards they range from
22 in. in the bulTs-eye circular to 70 in. in the outer circular.

The highest tide which has been seen in tho Thames for
very many years occurred yesterday week. The water rose to
about four feet above its usual height. The Lambeth district,
from Blackfriars to Vauxhall Bridges, occupied by small houses,
chiefly inhabited by labouring people, suffered the most from
the overflow. For upwards of one hour, from three to four
o’clock, the water rushed across the wharves, yards, aud narrow
lanes fining the banks, and speedily flooded the main thorough-
fares running parallel with the river, to the depth of from
three to four feet. The intervening cross streets were rendered
impassable for upwards of two hours, and the inhabitants wetv
unable to leave their houses. In Vine-street, Yorlc-road, the
approach to the South-Western Railway station, nearly a
quarter of a mile from the river, the water was about four feet
in depth, and all access to the etatiou was cut off for some
lime. The overflow being sudden and unexpected, the amount
of damage done is very considerable. The kitchens aud cellars
of the houses situated within a few hundred yards of the river
were filled with muddy water to the depth of several feet.
At Deptford a child was killed, and many old women an
children narrowly escaped being drowned.

THE ASHANTEE WAR.

The British soldiers and their skilful General, lately employed
in the chastisement of a barbarian King of black warriors in
West Africa, have returned victorious to receive a hearty
welcome and just applause from their fellow-countrymen of the
United Kingdom. The arrival of several troop-ships or tran¬
sports conveying these regiments home from Cape Coast Castle
has kept Pen lb mouth and London in pleasing excitement since
Thu mi ay week. The Tatuar was the first to arrive that day,
or rather in the preceding night, bringing 500 men, who were
the 23rd Royal Welsh Fusiliers, under Colonel the Hon. Savage
Mcstyn, and detachments of the Royal Artillery, Royal Marine
Artillery, and ^Royal Marines. Captain Walter Grubbe, com¬
mand* r of this vessel, had been with the land forces through¬
out their campaign, and had commanded part of the Naval
Prigr dc in the battle of Amoaful. The troops did not laud till
the next day (Friday), between nine and ten in the morning.
Lieutenant-General Viscount Templetown, commanding the
Porteinouth and southern military district, had ordered
preparations to receive them with due honours. The
esceit or guard that accompanied their reception at the
Dockyard and on Governor'a-green, was formed of the
tifth company Royal Engineers, battalions of the 4th or King’s
< >wn, 15th, 18th, and 30th Regiments, the Army Service
Corps, and the Portsmouth divisions of Royal Marines and
Marine Artillery. The Mayor aud Corporation, in their robes
of civic dignity, presented an address of welcome. The
troops, wearing their soiled grey tunics and trousers
ar.d pith helmets, as during the late campaign, instead
of their regimental uniform, inarched through High-street
amidst the cheers aud hat-waving or hand kerchief-fluttering
salutes of a great crowd of people. At the railway station
they were entertained with a plain luncheon of bread and
cheese and beer, provided by the town Corporation. The 23rd
Welsh Fusiliers went on to the camp at Shorncliffe, where they
arrived in the afternoon, and w r ere received by Lord A.
Russell, the Commandant, the Marquis of Tweeddale, Lord
and Lady Pelham, and the Folkestone Corporation. The 99th
Regiment and the third battalion of the UOfch Rifles W'ere at
Shorncliffe, The officers of the 99fch, the sergeants, and the
privates separately entertained their friends of equal rauk in
the 23rd with a festive dinner. The Artillery, who went up
from Portsmouth to Woolwich, enjoyed the same kind of
fiiendlv reception.

On the same day, in the evening, arrived the now famous
commander of our little army on the Gold Coast, by the
steamer Manitoban, a name taken from the Red River Province
of Canada, where he distinguished himself in 1870. Sir Garnet
Wolseley was accompanied by the ofibers of liis staff, including
Lord Gifford, and by Lieutenant-Colonel Evelyn WoDd, Major
Palter Russell, Lieutenant-Colonel Colley, Captain Bait, R.A.,
and othcjs who have done much of the best service in the
Ashantee War. The Manitoban brought some of the tsventy-
eighth company Royal Engineers aud forty invalids of the Naval
Brigade, who are well cared for in Haslar Hospital. Sir Garnet
and the officers with him landed about eight o’clock omSaturday
morning. At his own particular request, there was no formal
reception of him, but Lord Tcmpletowu was there to shake
hands with him. As soon as the Major-General got to London
that day he reported himself to the Secretary of State for the
War Department. He had an interview with Mr. Gathorne
Hardy. After this. Sir Garnet met Lady Wolseley at Fleming’s
Hotel. Her Majesty the Queen, upon hearing of his arrival
in England, sent an inviting command to visit her at Windsor
Castle. Sir Garnet went on Sunday afternoon, and had an in¬
terview of two hours w ith his Royal Mistress. She had, we
remember, telegraphed to him, immediately after the fall of
Coomae&ie, her thanks and congratulations, liis Royal Higluiess
the Duke of Cambridge, Field Marshal Commandmg-in-Chief,
inspected the Welsh Fusiliers on the. day after they gob to
Shorn eliffe;

The famous *‘Black Watch,” the 42nd Royal Highlanders,
arrived at Toitsmouth in the Sarmatian, on Monday at eleven
in the forenoon. Officers and men returning are 530 in number,
under Lieutenant-Colonel M'Leod, C.B., with Majora Duncan
Macpherson and F. C. Scott. With these came Brigadier-
General Sir Archibald Alison, Major Home, R.E., and several
other officers j the Sarmatian also brought forty men of the
Army Service Corps. Their reception on lauding, at two in
the afternoon, was much like that of the Welsh Fusiliers, on
the Fiiday before. The Highlanders remained in the Clarence
Barracks at Portsmouth. A large number of our invalided
soldiers are in the Military Hospital at Netley.

The Rifle Brigade, under Colonel Warren, with some Royal
Engineers and Marines, arrived on Thursday in the Himalaya.
They, too, were heartily welcomed. The Rifle Brigade are at
Winchester.

It is announced that the Queen w ill review the troops of
the Ashantee Expedition, in the Home Park at Windsor, on
Monday next. The review will include the 42nd Highlanders,
the 23rd Welah Fusiliers, the Rifle Brigade, Artillery,
Engineers, Marines, and some, we hope, of the Naval Brigade—
in tact, aR the various arms engaged in the late war.

The hour fixed for the review is 12.30 p.m. Her Majosty
the Queen, w ith their Royal and Imperial Highnesses the Duke
and Duchess of Edinburgh, Princess Beatrice, the Prince and
Princess of Wales, and the other members of the Royal family,
will leave the Castle about a quarter past twelve for the Home
Pork, where the troops, under command of Sir Garnet
Wolseley, will be draw n up in a line of about 500 yards,
fronting the Castle. The ground will be kept by a battalion of
the Foot Guards, the Carabiniera from Hounslow, and the 2nd
Life Guauls from Windsor. A strong force of the metropolitan
police, under Mr. Superintendent Mott, as well as the Windsor
police, under Mr. Chief Superintendent Hayes, will be also in
attendance. The troops are to arrism at Windsor by the South-
Western and Great Western lines. They will muster in the
Home Park at once, and be held in readiness to receive the
Queen, who, on arriving at the Park, will drivo along and
inspect tho ranks, after which the regiments will march past
her Majesty at the ealutiug-point.

The Lord Mayor of Loudon has invited Sir Garnot Wolseley
and all the officers of the Ashantee Expedition to a banquet at
the Mansion House next Tuesday, to meet tho Duke of Cam¬
bridge, Prince Arthur, Mr. Gathorne Hardy, and Mr. Ward
Hunt, First Lord of the Admiralty. The Common Council of
London will bestow' on fcir Garnet the freedom of the city.

We give an Illustration of the scene at the landing of Sir
Garnet at Poitsmouth. A portrait of this distinguished
Genera!, from a photograph taken hy Messrs. Window and
Bridge, before his departure to the Gold Goirit (he did not then
wear his beard), has been engraved for.-^qr-Extra Supplement
this w’tek. Sir Garnet Joseph Wolseley.. isdorty ■ years of age,
having been born on June 4, 1833. aC'.GQ^dc^^Bridge House,
near Dublin. He is a son of Majou-Wolseley, of the 25th
Regiment, aud belongs to the Wolsi-icy family of Wolseley
Hall, near Rugeley, Staffordshire. He entered the Army in
Maich, 1852, and served with the 80th Regiment in the
Ruimese War, and with the 90th in the Crimean War, whore he
was severely grounded, gaining his captaincy iu January,

1855. He was in tho Indian Mutiny war, and received
high praise for his conduct at Lucknow, with the brevet
rank of Lieutenant-Colonel. In 1860 ho was in the

Chinese W ar, on the staff of the Quartermaster-General.
He gained the full rank of Colonel in June, 1865. In 1867 he
went to Canada as Deputy Quartermaster-General. The his¬

tory of the Red River Expedition, in 1870, commauied by Sir
Garnet Wolseley, has been told to our readers ; when we gave
some Illustrations of its arduous task in the forest and river
journey of COO miles, from Lake Superior to Lake Wiunepeg.
For a most interesting account of this remarkable performance—
happily unattended with actual bloodshed—we refer to the
book (Macmillan, publisher) written by tho lamented Captain
G. L. Huyshe, one of Sir Garnet’s staff, who has not been
spared to come home from West Africa upon this occasion.
SSir Garnet Wolseley has since held the appointment of
Assistant Adjutant-General to the Commander-in-Chief at the
Horse Guards. He has more than once commanded a division
at the autumn manoeuvres. His rank in the Army is still that
of Colonel only, but he had the local and temporary rank of
Major-General during his late command in the Ashantee War.
He is a Commander of the Bath, and a Knight Commander of
the Order of St. Michael and St. George, which is a distinction
awarded for civil or military services done in the British
colonics.

The Illustrations of the late campaign, furnished by the
sketches of our Special Artist, Mr. Melton Prior, whose
ai rival home was mentioned hist week, are continued in this
Number. In one instance—that of an actual fighting tcene,
iu which the British soldiers are shown in the attitude of com¬
bat in the bush—we have preferred to give a mere facsimile of
Mr. Prior’s sketch, as then and there drawn by him, instead
of the more finished w ork usually prepared from such sketches
for the engraver on wood.

There is a painful interest of reality, too, in the Illustra¬
tion of a convoy of sick and w’ounded carried down the road
from Cocmassie to the Prah. Tho number of hammock-
bearers available at this time was so much reduced that each
hammock, with the suffering or helpless invalid lying beneath
a scanty canopy, was borne upon the heads of four men in¬
stead of six, as at first, along a rough and often flooded path.
It required the energetic persuasive exertions of the British
officers in charge of these convoys to get them over the
ground, as many of the natives were inclined, but for fear of
instant punishment, to lay down their load. Nearly half the
troops of white race that went up to Coomaaaie were obliged to
he ennied Lack in hammocks ; of the 42nd Highlanders only
c50 w ere in marching condition ; nor wero the Rifle Brigade,
W tlsh Fuji Hers, ancl Naval Brigade iu a much better plight,
when the excitement of the conflict was passed, and they felt
tho immense fatigue, as well as the unwholesome effects of
climate, to w hich they had been exposed.

Our larger Engraving shows Sir Garnet Wolseley, with his
staff, in the position occupied by the head-quarters of our little
nircy at the battle of Amoaful, on Saturday, Jan. 31. The
village, or rather haralet of Egginassie, a mile south of the
town of Amoaful on the road from Quarman and Insarfu,
where the British troops had passed the night, was occupied
by Sir Garnet at eight o’clock in the morning. Tho front
column of his army, consisting of the 42nd Highlanders, with
Captain Bait’s two guna and rockets, was sent forward imme¬
diately, under Sir Archibald Alison, to attack the main body of
the Ashantees, who held a strong position on tho slope of the
hill of Amoaful, with a swamp and a stream of water between
them and the hamlet of Egginassie, 200 or 300 yards in advance
of the English General’s head-quarters. At the same time, the
left wing of our forces, under Colonel M‘Leod, and the right
w ing, under Colonel Evelyn Wood, entered the jungle, respec¬
tively to the left and to the right of head-quarters, in order to
cut their way, diagonally, to the left and the right extremities
of the extended tront column. They wore hotly engaged,
almost as soon as they got into tho dense thicket, with the
overlapping wings of the enemy’s large army, which endea¬
voured to surround the small body of troopB, about 2500 in all,
commanded by Sir Garnet Wolseley. But support was early
and steadily brought forward by the Rifle Brigade, under Colonel
W arren, composing the rear column of our army; and there
were moments, during that battlo of six long hours, when we
Lad fighting on every side of the square formed by Sir Garnet’s
disposal of our forces. The result, however, is now quite well
known ; and our present occasion requires only that we
should notice the central scene at head-quarters, in what may
bo called the village green of Egginassie. A tree in the
middle of this space is Fetish, being consecrated, agreeably to
the religious customs of a West African native people, by some
superstitious belief iu the immanent deity, to be appeased with
fanciful and dreadful ceremonies at stated periods of the year.
Near this tree, but somewhat to tho left hand in oar Artist’s
sketch, we see the Major-General, wearing a field officer’s
cocked hat. with several gentlemen of his staff behind or
beside him. He was accompanied, also, by Commodore Hewctt,
R.N., throughout the day. He seems to be dictating an order
to the officer who stands writing ; while more to the left hand
we observe a company of soldiers in the act of starting to
march forward and support the front attack. The Highlanders
are distinguished by the red feather in the bonnet. Under
the Fetish tree sits a wounded man of the Naval Brigade, sup-
jjorted by a sailor and another man, while the surgeon is
extracting a piece of lead from his left leg, which is evi¬
dently a painful operation. A number of hammock bearers,
huddled close together, sit waiting to be called upon, as they
will presently be, to go and fetch in more of the wounded to
the field hospital, which is established in these huts or cottages
at Egginassie. In the foreground are the soldiers of tho head¬
quarters guard, engaged in direct conflict with a portion of the
enemy, who have pressed in upon tho extension of our left
column, endeavouring to cut it off from the centro. The whole
picture is a perfectly truthful and moat animated representa¬
tion of the central point in the battle of Jan. 31, which w'as
really decisive of the war.

Our special publication upon this subject, entitled “From
Catf. Coast to CoomaSvSIK : an Illustrated Narrative of
;ni£ Ashantee War, is now ready for issue, aud we trust that
it will be found, deserving of acceptance.

FRANCE.

(From our Correspondent in Paris.)

Thursday, March 26.

In spite of their recent victories in the Assembly, the situation
of the Due de BrogUe and his colleagues is growing more and
more precarious every (lay. Rousing themselves from their
listless inactivity of the past three months, the Left are now
beginning to harass the Cabinet in earnest, aud not a week
passe8 -without some well-pointed attack directed against this
duplex Government of “Combat” and “Moral Order” and
the reactionary majority which upholds it. The Prime
Minister's equivocal declarations apropos of the Royalist
intrigues and the Septemiat have been followed by a letter from
Marshal MacMahon—ostensibly a congratulatory epistle
thanking M. do Broglie for the maimer in which he defended
his powers during the recent great debate, but in. reality a
formal declaration in favour of the statu quo . The President
lias, moreover, expressed his discontent at the inopportune
i : ter vent ion of the Extreme Right in the late Parliamentary
battle, and has been doing his utmost to remove the had
impression created by the Due de Broglie’s embarrassed declara¬
tions. At one moment a Ministerial crisis was expected, the
Ministers of Justice and Religion complaining of the cavalier
maimer in which the Vice-President of the Council treated tho
more ardent Rojmlista ; but that difficulty has been overcome*
pec-ice being re-established for a short time in the Cabinet.

The Assembly will take a month’s hofiday on Saturday for
the convenience of snch deputies as are members of the depart¬
mental councils general. M. de Maztere’s report on the Due
<le Broglie’s proposal to postpone the municipal elections for
ten months, which was read on Tuesday, was received by tho
Right with a perfect storm of interruptions and loud marks of
disapproval. It is certainly couched in most masterly language,
and formally revindicates the rights of the electors; but yes¬
terday the servile majority voted by a Large majority in favour
of the Government bill. M. Press ense made an eloquent speech
against the Government.

The new’ electoral law will come on for discussion after tho
recess ; and with it a counter-proposition, brought forward by
the deputies of the Extreme Left, calling upon the Assembly
to issue decrees for general elections on June 28 next, and to
proclaim its own dissolution on July 15 following. The
preamble of this bill, which, unfortunately for France, has no
chance of being voted, seta forth that, since July 2, 1871,
170 partial elections have taken place iu seventy-seven depart¬
ments, forming more than three quarters of the French terri¬
tory, the great majority of them resulting in favour of tho
Republican candidates. It stigmatises the conduct of the
present Government in allowing Royalist intriguers to infringe
the lights of the electors, and concludes by stating that uni¬
versal suffrage forms the basis of all political right in France,
and that its maintenance is the best guarantee for order and
stability.

The bellicose deputies of the Chamber have been endeavour¬
ing to make a mystery of the army committee’s report relative
to the new fortifications of Paris. A motion was brought for¬
ward, the other day, to the effect that the House should discuss
this report in secret sitting ; but, after a few observations from
the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the proposal was eventually
negatived. It is reported that M. Thiers will break his long
silence to speak in favour of the new fortification system advo¬
cated by the army committee.

A letter lias been addressed to the President of the Assembly
by tiie Minister of Justice communicating the senteuce passed
some time ago upon M. Ranc, and demanding his expulsion
from his seat as deputy. The matter has been referred to tho
bureaux.

A melodramatic comedy by M. Octave Feuillet, entitled
“ Le Sphynx,” was produced on Monday night at tho Tncatre
Franeais, with tolerable success.

HOLLAND.

The Dutch have not brought fighting to an end at Acheea
so soon as we have finished it on the Gold Coast, bat they sesin
determined to do their work thoroughly. They arc fortifying
themselves in Acheen, and storing provisions, with a vietf to
recommencing operations, if necessary, with a third expedition
in October. In the Parliament, on Saturday, tho Colonial
Minister, in reply to a question, stated that the Government
w r as able to meet all the expenses of the war, and intended to
carry it on until a satisfactory result had been obtained.

BELGIUM.

On the recommendation of tho Government, the Clumber
has granted a credit of 890,000f. to indemnify Spa for the loss
incurred by the suppression of the gaming-tables.

ITALY.

Monday, being the anniversary of King Victor Emmanuel's
accession, was observed as a general holiday in Rome, the city
being gaily decorated with flags and tho straeta crowded.
Deputations from the Italian Senate, the deputies, the Council
of State, the magistracy, the Army aud Navy, tho sciendfio
societies, and many tow ns aud x>ro vinces of the kingdom, were
received at the Quirinal by his Majesty, who returned a
1 gracious reply to each of the addresses. The Emperor of
Germany has written a most friendly letter to tbb Au#.
After congratulating his ally on the twenty^*** nuri/versary
of his accession to the throne, the Emperor says, “Godho*
brought your Majesty to behold the coinplefce triumph of tho
liberty and independence of Italy. My sincere wish is that tbo
Almighty will always protect your Alajesty and tho Italian
people.” On the previous day the King received the con¬
gratulations of the diplomatic body. The reception lasted tiro
hours, ilia Majesty lias received congratulatory letters from
the Sovereigns of Europe.

Two counter-demonstrations were held at Rome in honour
of the Pope during the celebration of King Victor Emmanuel's
accession. A number of Roman noblemen presented his Holi¬
ness with an address, to which lie replied praising their un¬
alterable devotion. There was also a meeting in the Loggie di

GERMANY.

The Emperor William completed his seventy-seventh year
on Sunday. His Imperial Majesty was well enough to go to
church in tho morning. After Divine service many distin¬
guished persons, including the King and Queen of Saxony,
the Grand Dukes of Baden, Weiinar, and Mecklenburg, and
the Dukes of Altenburg and Saxe-Mciuingen, arrived at the
palace. An immense crowd assembled, and gave enthusiastic
cheers for his Majesty. The Generals of tho army had pre¬
viously waited upon the Emperor to express their congratu¬
lations ; and, in reply to an address delivered in thoir name
by Field Marshal von Wrangel, his Majesty said :—“ Receive
my thanks for the wishes you have uttered for the improve¬
ment of iriy health. They are this year especially welcome,
and I think I may hope that they will be fulfilled.”

Prince Bismarck’s restoration to health is Blow; but there
seem to be good hopes that it is steadily progressive. On Sun¬

The Military Committee of the German Parliament enfcsred,
yesterday week, upon the second reading of the Army Bill. As
on the occasion of tho first reading, clause l, which fixoi til *,
peace effective of the army at 401,66!) men, was rejected by 22
votes against 0, as was also a motion to fix tho figure at
561,000. The other clauses of tho bill wore adopted in the
same form in which they passed tho first reading. During the
debate the Minister for War declared that, without a fixed
number being set down for tho peace effective, tho bill would
not be accepted by the Federal Government.

The desman Parliament completed, on Monday, the second
discussion of the Press Bill, which passecT almost in tho form
in which it was brought forward by the Committee. An ani

THE BENGAL FAMINE.

We have received for publication the following weekly tele¬
gram from the Viceroy to the Secretary of State for India,
dated the 21st inst. :—

“ Prices nearly stationary; rise in some parts of Eastern
Bengal. Reports of spring crop3 good everywhere, except in
Tirhoofc. It is thought that rain of February has placed several
districts beyond reach of famine. Trade brings 1700 tons a day
into Behar, and very large quantities of private grain aro
awaiting dispatch at railway stations in Punjaub. Government
grain is being dispatched up East Indian Railway at rate
of 2000 tons a day, up Eastern Bengal Railway 800
tens a day. Lieutenant Governor, after visiting Tirhoot
reports that, on arrival, ho found famine of considerable severity
baa set in through parts of Durbungah subdivision. People
were flocking to relief works in enormous numbers. Local
organisation tor relief was incompleted. There was no dearth
o'supplies, but prices were high; population at large not
seriously affected, but many of poorest classes much pinched,
and a few of most wretched had reached point of starvation ;
only three or four deaths recorded, but it is feared that a few
more may have Buffered of who a we have no full information.
Organisation now improved ; village to village relief in detail
being prorsed cn. Every effort be. \; made to draught off people
fiom relic 1 ! works to their homes, out difficulties are consider¬
able, C3 they prefer remaining on works.

“ Iicutcrjuit-Govemor reports Uiat widely-spreading want
has been stayed. In a part of Clmmparun there has been, a
marked change for worse in condition, or people, but local organ¬
isation good, and equal to ocCvOsion. Village relief system in
working order ; no deaths reported. From several parts it is
reported that if it hnd not been for measures taken by tho
Government there would have been many thousand starvation
deaths before this. In some parts Government grain is being
sold to gcnerr.l population.

“ Sir R. Tcmplo has visited whole of Rajshaye division.
Roports transport arrangement in Rajah aye satisfactory ; no
deaths from want. Ills estimates for ^quiremcnt3 of ati dis-
resred districts now complete. Total amount of grain now
aTotted, 387,500 tons, which gives a reserve over requirements
oi 49,000 tons ; additional reserve unallotted, 78,000 tons ;
t >tal reserve, 127,000 tons ; total provision, 405,009 tons.
Calculations have bean hared for safety on daily ration of llb.,
instead of 1 lb., as heretofore. Further ample food supplies
available in Funjaub. ;>

On 'Wednesday night £63,000 had been received at the Man-
r ion House in aid 61 tho fund being raise ! there for the relief
of the sufferers by tho famine.in Bengal ;.and of fchk sum .! 10,090
lias .been sent to the Central Relief Committee at Calcutta, for

NATIONAL SPORTS.

The Bristol meeting, which took place last week, was scarcely
so great a success as had been anticipated ; for the weather on
the first and third days was as bad as it could be, the incessant
rain making the course very heavy and slippery. It had been
industriously put about that some of the Royal family would
be present; but, to the great disappointment of the ladies, this
did not prove to he the caso. The Duke of Hamilton had very
bad luck at the meeting, for the whcle of his Large team only-
managed to win two minor events, and twice when hi3 repre¬
sentatives were made strong favourites they occupied the
tantalising position of second. Probably Palm, who is by
West Australian—Sabine, was one of tho best horses that ran
during the three days. He won the City Grand Annual Hurdle-
Race m fine style from a field of fifteen, and on the following day
a 101b. penalty did not interfere with his carrying off a second
hurdle-race. Mr. Arthur Yates, our most popular gentleman
rider, was in the saddle on each occasion. The Bristol Roy t aI
Steeplechase, to which the magnificent sum of £1000 was added,
brought out a field of twenty, but, unfortunately, proved a
most extraordinary chapter of accidents from beginning to end,
which is attributable to the terrible state of the ground. When
they had gone nearly two miles Royalist (lOst. 71b.), who a;
the time was nearlv a field in front of every thing, bolted on tho
wrong side of a flag, and was, of course, out of tho race.
Almost at the same moment St. Aubyn (10st. 111b.) fell at a
fence, and FantOme (10 st. 91b.) tumbled over him. A little
further on General (10st. 10lb.) and Clifton also came

to grief. Schiedam (list. 21b.) was Luo next victim, as

ho slipped into a ditch, and Ryshworih (12 st. 7 1b.)

fell over him. Two fences from home Merlin. (10st. Sib.)

and Master Mowbray (list.) also fell, the miner bringing
down Vintner (10 st. 41b.), who was full of running at the
time. This left Scots Grey(10st. 131b.) and Dainty with a
good lead, and they rose at the last flight of huidles together.
The latter fell, and the “pale horsewas loft to .canter in
alone. Jerry (lOst. 91b.) and Siivcrmcre (list, lib.), neither
of whom had ever shown prominently in the nice, were
respectively placed second and third. Wcots Grey ran pretty-
forward in the last I!rand National, but, a3 may bo imagined
from our account, little reliance can bo placed cn the running,
and, after the race, Vintner was made a great favourite for tho
“ steeplechase Derby” at Liverpool, last Thursday. Footman
started for two events during tho mooting; L it, as he per¬
sistently- refused to jump even a hurdle; it is evident that his
terrible fall of last year ha3 ruined him for steep! .chasing.

When, some littlo time tack, wc were commenting o;i the
adjustment of the weights for the Lincoln Handicap wo took
occasion to remark upon the great strides in popularity which
this meeting has made during recent years. Thic popularity is,
of course, i^rtly adventitious, for Lincoln is tho urafc racing
fixture after the recess ; and turfites of all ranks, beariiij, for
the most part, the enforced idleness cf winter wii-ix mucji dis¬
content, are naturally only too glad of the opportunity to
resume their favourite pastime. But, even if ,ct reruns tan co3
were less favourable, it must be admitted that the manageruoivb
this year well deserved the success which has been achieved.
For the first time (with the best result) thoy adde 1 thfe mu¬
nificent sum of £1000 to the principal handicap ; and, what
w.u3 even more important, they purchased last autumn 3omo
additional ground aud constructed a t! straight mi'c," lika
the New Milo at Ascot, to replace tho narrow and) tortuous
course upon which the Lincoln I! ndicap has Lithtirto boon
run. Ave heartily congratulate the tommifcfcee of manage¬
ment upon their public, spirit and its satisfactory Vusalts, and
earnestly commend their example to the attention of csrbaia
gentlemen, who shall bo namele?3, at Epsom and Newmarket,
and to all others whom it may concern. Tho principal feature
of the lirct day’s racing was *tho Brocklesbv 8lalc-33, for two-
year-olds, run over the last half of tho mile cout-W Eights on
youngsters faced tho starter, aud there wore the usual number
of “certainties ” which had been so tried that they could not
possibly lo?o. All the favourites, however, were defeated by Mr.-
Alington’s Canlur.u-e, a brown filly, by Thornian by—Scnrq who
won with the greatest case by three lengths. She comes of a
running family, being own sister to Ch.uublc and Decorator,
and must have been highly tried by her owner, ns she has
been nominated for no less than thirty-two nwre.

The Lincoln Handicap was cou tested by no lops than tSirfcy-
fivc horses, and, like the principal event on the first dajt, fell
to a son of Thornmnbj'. It may further be notice!, as a matter
of coincidence, that Tomahau k won the Lincoln Handicap by
er.uctly the same distance that Cashmere won tho Brocklesby—
vir., three lengths. Tomahawk early made his mark in the
racing world by defeating his stable companion, Conronue do
For, aud a large field in one of the early two-year-old races last
year. After that he ran several time3 unsuccessfully, and
people generally considered that his only victory wa3 one of
those “ fiukes ,r for which the Turf is famous His trainer,
however, always had a good opinion of th e colt, and it wax
mainly through his advice that Mr. Swindells purchased; him
for £1000 when he was put up to auction last autumn, A
lucky deal, indeed, as which is not where “Lord Freddy” i3
tho purchaser! Poor Oxford Mixture ran, as U 3 nal, just
sufficiently well not to win, and tho customary outsider
obtained tho third place. The Curate was fourth, a common
situation for the favourite in a Largo handicap ; Salvanos, Pefco,
and Andred ran respectably; and Wenlock, who was to do
such great tilings, Sister Helen, the Infanta colt, and Sweet
Agnes entirely disgraced themselves.

Captain Macheil has won his .second successive Graud
National by the aid of Rougny; Chimney Sweop and Merlin,
two complete outsiders, were second and third. The first day’s
racing at Liverpool was of little interest, and we shall giye a
full account of the meeting next week.

The dispersal of au old-established stud is always a matter
for regret, and tho Turf can ill afford the loss of such a man
as the lato Baron. Rothschild. The horses in training worcsold
by Messrs. Taltcreall, ot Newmarket, on Thursday week, and
realised the sum of l^Songs. Maraworth Mono mads more
than a third of this sum, lxlng taken by Count Lehndorff, to
whpm his immense bone and substance proved irresistibly
attractive, for 5000gs. None cf the other three-year-old 3
fetched high prices; but, among the two-year-olds, Pedometer,
by ICiDg Tom—Miss Peddie (1900 gs.), Tancred, an own brother
to Corisandc (1300gs.), and Coomassie (1000gs.) all reached
four figures. Pedometer and Coomassie were bought by Mr.
Foy on behalf of a member of the Pvothsohild family, and Mk
Ixdevre secured Tancrcd. Three of Mr. Padwick’B horses were
sold in the same ring. Couronne de Fer, for whom no les3 than
GC00 gs. was refused last season, seemed to be regarded with
geneial suspicion, and, in spite of his owner’s offer to match
him for 1000 gs. to run any three-year-old in England over the
Rowley Mile, Lord Rosebery got him for 2500 gs. We fear
that it has been discovered that he inherits the family failing,
and, like thq rest of Miss Agnes’s stock, cannot get beyond
six furlongs ; while it was broadly hinted by some people that
he has turned roarer. Packington, for whom lOJOgs. was pail
as a yearling, now fetched only 850 gs,

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS

MARCH 28, 1374

SKETCHES ES T PARLIAMENT.

Since the new House of Commons has met for actual business
there has been, as might have been expected, considerable
attendance of members. On the first night Mr. Roebuck set the
example of diligence in this respect, for he was the first person
in the Chamber, and, taking the prescriptive seat which was
ceded to him in former Parliaments, he held a kind of lcv6e,
gentlemen comiug up in succession aud greeting him Oa that
occasion the neophyte members rather wandered about, un¬
certain where to settle ; but since then they have got into
tolerable order, and many of them may bo looked for in par¬
ticular places, and stand out from the ** uudistinguishablc
throng. The reappearances of the components of the new.
Government, and their coming up to take the oath, were so
managed as to be almost dramatic, the advent of Mr. Disraeli
being esjrtcially effective. . .

The generally tame and formal proceeding of moving the
Address in answer to the Queen’s Speech was enlivened by a
deviation by SirW, Stirling*Maxwell into a party attack, wittily
shaped; and even the ponderosity of Mr. Romaine Callender,
the seconder of the motion, unrelieved by attempts at
rhetorical flights, did not operate to restore the usual dulucss.
Nor did the solemnity of Mr. Torrens, when lie wa? adjuring
the House to do miracles iu mitigation of the Indian food
distress, serve to depress thb discussion^ inasmuch as Mr.
Gladstone was prompt to retort on Sir W. Stirling-Max well;
but he did so in all good humour, and it avas his cue to evince
that the Government would find no factious opponent in him
The Prime Minister may be raid to have been beaming ; on his
face mantled unusual Btuilcs, liis manner was gracious and his
-observations playful, and it scarcely needed for him to have
said in so many words that he was satisfied wnth the result o
the recent political Ooulcverwment, so amply did his demeanour
imply satisfaction.

Tho second day of the meeting of the House for business is
generally featureless; but this time there was a disturbing
element introduced on the Report of the Address, for tho
Homo Rulers placed themselves formally and in force in pre¬
sence of the Legislature. Perhaps that peculiar labial utter-
ance which — if the word may be excused — may be called 1
“spluttering,” to which Mr. Butt i3 subject, was rather
increased on this occasion by a touch of nervousness. He
began in a tone of moderation, and, though he warmed up a
little when he described the down-trodden, police-ridden con¬
dition of Ireland, illustrated by the fact that no man was
allowed to possess and to use a: ms at his discretion (which is a
feeble word to indicate what the use would he), and how com¬
plete the liberty in that respect would be under a purely Irish
Parliament, he cannot be said to have been over-enthusiastic,
and, on the whole, liis speech was not so effective as might have
been expected. Perhaps, however, it was only a rehenml
against that occasion when Home Rule is to put on a grand
Parliamentary appearance. 0 ther Irish members of that per¬
suasion revealed themselves, so to speak, in action. For
instance, Mr. Macartney, who was undemonstrative, hut
decided ; and, above all, there was Mr. Sullivan, who made an
unquestionable hit. He is said to be audacious to a degree ;
but, though he was bold and free spoken, ho could scarcely have
been accused of audacity, showing at once a sense of personal
and representative responsibility, combined with a proper
deference for the Assembly which he wa3 addrossing. Ho h
not merely eloquent, in the Irish meaning of tho word, but,
though ardent and copious in language, he is a rhetorician of
skill ; while as to humour, for point, aud, above all, for the
appearance of its unconsciousness, it is inimitable. Some of
his illustrations of the effect of the Arms Act in Ireland were
droll in the extreme as be moulded them, though they were
nore the less effective on his argument because they wore
iocoscly told. But they culminated in the case of the. psr-
£ rming monkey which was seized for possessing and firing a
P 'Pc?un, against the statute and the peace of our Lady the
Queen. Indeed, the sympathy which the hou. member ex¬
hibited towards the oppressed monkey was most affecting

Jn this discussion there was an indication, bsyond that of
moving the el* ction of tho Speaker, that the G overnmenfe intends
to utilise the undoubted capacity of Mr, Chaplin a3 a debater;
for, apropos of nothing, he made a sharp party attack on Mr.
Gladstone, his thrusts being ns keen aud rapid as those of a small¬
sword and his demeanour almost fierce, while the expression of
his face may be described by tho familiar phrase that he had
tho light of battle in liis eve*. The rejoinder of Mr. Gladstone
was forcible, but mnde without passion ; in truth, his manner
33 so subdued that, by comparison with what it was wont to be,
it might almost be calledmelancholy. One thing he did posi¬
tively, and that was repudiating entirely that Home Rule
towards which he is accused of having a leaning when it
■would Ecrve liis political purposes to conciliate its pro¬
fessors. Possibly some few people know that Lord Robert
Montagu has been converted iuto an Irish member and a Home
Ruler, and he made a tremendously lengthy but curiously
unintelligible confession of his new political faith. Oifics lias
worked a miracle on *Sir Michael Hieks-Beach j for, whereas ho
was a low-voiced, modest speaker, who never roused attention,
because he did not rouse himself, now ho evidently de<firC3 to
imitate the sound of a trumpet in his enunciation ; while p.3 to
his sentiments, lie means that the sound shall bo by no means
uncertain. Besides, he proved that he could say thing? which
were so pointed that they rnflled the Home-bailors, and stung
than into clamorous denials ; and, altogether, lie astonished
three who were familiar with his Parliamentary antecedent?.
AVI cn Air. Butt offered to, withdraw Ida motion, up sprang Tho
< VDorcghne from a seat carefully removed from tho spot where
the Home-1 lulers congregated in a group, aud t .’.fitted thoso
gentlemen with having made only a feint, so that there was
nothing left but to divide, and so to show the scanty numbers
of the adherents of the Homo-Rule movement.

Ibere have been indications that oven now the Conservative
party in the House is not welded in perfect unity ; for when a
motion was brought forward to renew the rule which forbid?
unopposed business to be taken after twelve o'clock at night,
Air. Disraeli having accepted a modification of the order pro¬
posal by Mr. Dillwyn, up camo Mr. Beresford- Ifope with a
jocular objection to a compromise comiug from tho Liberal side;
while Mr. Mowbray, who lias not been permitted, as heretofore,
to adorn a Conservative Ministry, and now sits undistinguished on
a high back bench, with a warmth and energy which betokened
strong fedings of some sort, almost denounced the really tactical
course of the Pnrno Minister, who is doing all he can to oa*
ciliate and humour the House in all it3 varieties.- So a com¬
posite minority—tho greater part of which, however, were
Conservatives— weut into the lobby a^aiusb their newly-
empowered chief. There wa3 more steadiness and discipline
in their conduct on what waa, iu a manner, the first party debate
and division of the Sssrion. It was on tho proposition of Sir
Charles Dilke to extend the hours!of polling under the Ballot
A t to eight o’clock in the evening ; nnflfihe Ministerialists, and
eventually the Ministry by its representative, the new Homs
b’ccretarj', made a decided stand against tho change. The lati
Government, speaking through »Sirfieniy James aid Mr. VV. E.
Fester, temporised, and suggested compromise, but ultimately

were driven to support the Becond reading of thi bill. Tnc
majority of seventy-five did not represent the actual strength
of the Ministerialists, because some Liberals followed Mr.
Roebuck in voting with tho Governmeut; but the division
was, nevertheless, a test one, aud showed the weakness of the
Opposition effectually. Occasion was taken in tVits diseassion
by several members to give tbe House tastes of their
quality. Notably, Mr. Edward Jenkin3, of “Ginx’a Baby”
notoriety, made his first essay ; aud he did bo with a
coolness, an case, aud a confidence which seemed to irri¬
tate the Ministerialists ; for, having first tried a common
mode of indicating indifference—that of raising a hum of
conversation—when they fancied that the honourable an I ilu.mt
gentleman was plunging into an oration—they set in with the
usual inarticulate hints that they had had enough of him,
which he judiciously accepted, and a good deal of ingenious
ratiocination and ornate diction was thus lost to tho world.
Again, Dr. Cameron, a new member for Glasgow, made his
covp iV?n8ai t and showed that, although doubtless he has a good
deal in him, he has not in perfection the faculty of getting it
out with facility and felicity. Perhaps Air. T. Thompson, who
sits for Durham City, when he has caught tho House of Com¬
mons manner, may do well; fGr he possesses a copious vocabu¬
lary, which is not quite under judicious control, and secm3
to have ideas tolerably defined, while his presence is good and
his voice also.

Altogether the House, notwithstanding the large infusion
of new memberdom, has exhibited pretty much its traditional
characteristics ; while it certainly has shown itself ready to
grant every grace, favour, and facility to the new Ministry.

PARLIAMENTARY SUMMARY.

HOUSE or LORDS.

Yesterday week the Marquis of Salisbury, in laying on the
table papers relating to tho famine in Bengal, defended tho con¬
duct of the Viceroy of India with reference to tho provision he
had made to mitigate the calamity. To prohibit the export of
grain, he thought, would have been useless, inasmuch as the
supply of food was abundant, and the only difficulty was that
of land transport. A minute of the Governor-General showed
that there was no foundation, for the charge that tho labour
test had been too rigidly imposed upon persons unaccustomed
to work or too much exhausted for labour*. With regard to
the future, three millions sterling would be required ia order
to make the provision which the Government deemed to bo
necessary ; but it was proposed to ask for powers to raise tou
millions, so that they might be prepared to meet aff emer¬
gencies. Agreement to the Address formed the only other
business of the evening.

An alarmist picture of the state of the Navy was drawn by
tlio Earl of Lauderdale on Monday night. The noble Earl
stated that the British Isles were surrounded by 22J irau-
clads of all nations, whereas of the 33 ship3 of similar cl as 3
possessed by her Majesty 13 required now boilor3, 7 wero, to
say the least, shaky, and of the remainder he doubted whether
more than 10 were really effective. Tho first duty of tho now
Government, ho trusted, would be to execute tli03e repairs which
their predecessors had been unable, for lack of men, to accom¬
plish. After a few words from Lord Malmosbnry, who said it
would be premature to state the plans of the Government, Lord
Camperdown gave an explanation of the naval policy of tho late
Administration. A great many of the ship3 came in to be re¬
paired at once, and, owing to the enormou3 weight of the
machinery, moro men were required than had been antici¬
pated, Admitting that some of the iron coating could bo
pierced by (H-fccn guns—admitting also that it was a question
whether it was advisable to spend the £70,000 that woul l be
required to repair certain ships of the Minotaur ciaas —lie still
doubted whether the Navy was in the deplorable condition
mentioned, but was rather inclined to believe that tho noble
Lord had overlooked depreciation among the 229 foreign ship3,
and that the British Navy would at any time bo able to giv? a
g rnd account of them. The Duke of »Somersot blamed the lat3
Government far reduciug the number of men in tho doekyards
from the 18,000 ho used to deem it necessary to maintain down
to a number as low as 11,000. From this subject tho Heuso,
on a motion for papers by the Earl of Limerick, proceeded to a
debate on the state of the militia, the noble Earl contending
that no encouragement was given to really respectable persons
to join that branch of the service. After a short discussion,
the returns required were promised.

During a short sitting on Tuesday, at the instance of Lord
Behnorc, the subject of tho shave trade in Polynesia was dis¬
cussed, Lord Carnarvon stating that the traffic had diminished
under the operation of the Act of 1S72. At the desire of Lord
Delawarr, certain papers relating to railway accidents were
granted, after some debate.

On Thursday the Duke of Richmond gave notice that on
Monday next he should move that the thanks of the House be
given to her Majesty's naval and military forces engaged in
the recent operations on the West Coa 3 t of Africa. Tho
Lord Chancellor laid on the table three bills relating to
the transfer of title to land, and intimated that they were
framed on the principles enunciated by Lord Selborne
on the subject last year. The main featare of tho
measure was the establishment of a register of title to laud.
He proposed that there should be a registration of three
kinds of title—namely, first, a title absolute aid inde¬
feasible ; secomlly, a title limited or certified to be good
frem a particular date, and not beyond that date; and,
thirdly, the simple title of a proprietor in possession ami
alhging himself to bp owner. He further proposed that tho
• egUtrar under the bill should be authorised to accept a title of
forty years’ standing, provided he was of opinion that there
were no imperfections in such title. Tho three registrations
he proposed were—fee simples, leaseholds of a certain length,
and charters. For three years compulsion to register
would not be enforced. There should, however, then
bo an obligation to register, and if a property were
not registered ? the purchaser should only obtain an equi¬
table title. The noble and learned Lord then stated at con¬
siderable length the minor provisions of the bills. After a
discussion, in which Lord Selbome, Lord Hathcrley, and
other noble Lords took part, all expressing general concur¬
rence in tho principles of the bills, they were sav^-ally read a
first time.

nOUSE. OF COMMONS.

Yesterday week Mr. Whalley replied on a point of privilege
to the lettpr of tho Lord Chief Justice respecting his committal
for contempt. He moved that the letter be referred to the
Committee of Privileges. Mr. Disraeli suggested that it was
better fitted for a Select Committee, and in the cud his pro¬
position was agreed to. A statement was made bv the Prime
Minister on the course of future business. The House would”
be asked to meet on the following day to receive the cxce3S
votes of 1872-3, tho supplementary Estimates, and a vote of
credit for the Ashantcc war. These and the votes for men ho
hoped would be settled by the 31st, After thu “financial

tour dc force” they avouhl adjourn to April 13, aud on tho
lGth tbe Chancellor of the Exchequer would introduce the
Budget. On the report of the Address Mr. Butt rose to movo
Lia threatened amendment, expressing the dissatisfaction in Ire¬
land with the existing system of government in that country, and
suggesting that exclusively Irish affaire should be left to Irish
members, without any interference with or any separation from
tbe British Empire. Amongst the speakers was Mr. Gladstone,
who stated at some length the grounds upon which he said he
should not hesitate to vote against it. Any plan for what was
termed homo rule ought not only to be intelligible, but should
be shown to be expedient. After considerable discussion the
House divided, and the amendment was rejected by 314 to 50.
The Address was then agreed to. In Committee of the whole
House, Lord G. Hamilton moved a resolution asserting tho
expediency of enabling the Secretary of State in Council for
India to raise a loan of ten millions sterling for the service of
India on the credit of the Indian revenue. Approval of the
motion having been expressed by Mr. Deuison, Mr. Laing, and
Sir G. Balfour, it was agreed to, and ordered to be reported to
tbe House next day, at twelve o’clock. Leave was given to
bring in a large number of bills.

As bad been arranged, the Honse sat for a short time on
Saturday, when, having gone into Committee of Supply—Mr.
Cecil Raikes, on the motion of the Premier, taking the chair—
a number of votes to meet Civil Service excesses in 1872-3 were
agreed to. A slTort discussion was raised by Sir J. Hay as to
.the advisability of tbe purchase by tlic late Admiralty*of tho
Briton (subsequently called the Dromedary); but, after some
explanations from Mr. Lefcvrc and Mr. Goschcn to the effect
that tbe vessel had been purchased as a store-ship, the hon.
and gallant Baronet w ithdrew his opposition. On the motion
of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, a vote of credit amounting
to £800,000 was taken on account of tho Ashantee expedition,
the right hon. gentleman intimating that, so far as could be at
present ascertained, the total cost of tho war not provided in
the ordinary military and naval expenditure would not exceed
the sum of £300,000. The report on the East India Loan was
brought up, and some other formal business -was disposed of.
Tbe House having resolved itself into a Committee of Ways
and Means, Mr.W. H. Smith moved that a sum of £1,422,737
be granted to her Majesty on account of the charge of tho
public services between March 31, 1873, ani March 31, 1374 .
The motion was agreed to.

A motion made by Mr. Sand ford oa Monday to reduce
liability to income tax to incomes below £500 was shortly dis¬
cussed, but nothing came of it, the feeling evidently being that
the proposal was crude aud premature. Votes on account for
tbe Army, Navy, end Civil Service were obtained as follow,
without observation :—£2,000,000 for the naval services ;
£2,000,000 for tho army services ; £1,8S6,G00 for civil services ;
and £1,220,000 for the revenue departments. Tho East India
Lean Bill was read the second time, and bills were brought in
by Mr. Butt and Mr. Bryan to assimilate the Irish Electoral
and Municipal Franchise to the English law. Other bills were
also brought in by private members.

There was a long discussion on Tuesday with respect to the
hour of the night after which contested motions should not bo
proceeded with. A motion was ultimately carried, in accord¬
ance with a late precedent, that, with the exception of monoy
bills slid bills that have passed through Committee, no order
or notice cf motion shall come on af ter Imlf-past twelve at night
when notice of opposition or amendment has been given. The
report of Supply and of Ways aud Means was brought up, and
agreed to. In Committee of the whole House, a resolution
with reference to loans to school boards was agreed to. Thu
Consolidated Fund (£1,422,787) was read the second time.
Fills w ere brought in by Mr. F. Taylor to abolish the game
laws ; by Mr. Newdegate, to appoint Commissions for inquiring
into monastic and conventual institutions ; by Mr. Agnew, to
abolish hypothec in Scotland ; and by Mr. Mundclia, to repeal
the Criminal Law Amendment Act, 1371. The second rea ling
of tills Inst bill Mr. Mundclia fixed for June 10; and Mr.
Cress look tho ojipoitunity of saying a few words in vindica¬
tion oi tho course taken by tho Government in the appoint¬
ment of a Royal Commission.

At the instance of Sir Charles Dilko, the House, on Wed¬
nesday, discussed the second reading of a bill which had for ite
object the extension of tho time of polling under the Ballot Act,
the hours to be from eight in the morning till eight at night,
instead of between eight aud four in the afternoon as now.
There was considerable controversy, but ia the event tho bill
w s rejected by a large majority. Leave was given to The
O’DoLfghue to bring in a bill to extend the pro virions of the
Hiili Land Act of 1870 to England and Scotland.

Mr. Disraeli gave notice that on Monday next be would
move that the thanks of this House be given to her Majesty’s
naval and military forces engaged in the operations on the
West Coast of Africa. The Consolidated Fund (£1,42^737
14s. fid.) Bill was read the third time and passed. The Con¬
solidated Fund (£7,0fi0,000) Bill passed through Committee, as
did also the Eijst India Loan Bill. The Middlesex Sessions Bill,
the ebjeet of which is to regulate the salaries of the assistant
judge and second chairman of the Middlesex sessions, was rea l
the second time; ns also was the Public "Works
miss loners (loans to school boards). L

The council of the National Rifle Association ha3 deemed
it necessary to issue a new code of regulations, making an entire
change in the size and form of the targets, settling the vexed
question of ties, and embracing other important alterations.

The Leeds Royal Park, which adjoins Woo&houss Moor,
and which it was proposed to sell as building sites, has been
boudifc by a company for £150,000 ; and it will be appropriated
to tne purposes of recreation, the ground being very suitable
for floral exhibitions and galas.

There :3 a decrease in the Civil Service Estimates for tho
ccmirg year submitted to Parliament of £243,455. The votes
for education, the Post Office, and the telegraphs are tho only
cues showing an increase. The Army Estimates for tho en¬
suing year show a total of £14,485.300, a net increase of
£C9,200. The total of the Navy Estimates fe £10,173,483, a
net increase of £279,70*0.

Lord John Manners was, yesterdaj 1 * week, re-elected, with¬
out opposition, member for the northern division of Leicester¬
shire, on his appointment to the office of Postmaster-General. At
Galway Mr. O’Donnell, tlio Uome-Ruler who was certified by
Archbishop Manning, defeated by over 200 votes Mr. Joyce, a
Bomc-Rnler uncertified, tbe numbers being—O’Donnell, 579;
Joyce, 358. The election for this borough was occasioned by
the succession of Lord Howth to his present rank. Tbe nomi¬
nation for North Lancashire, to fill the vacancy caused by the
deviation of Colonel Wilson-Patton to the Peerage, took* place
on Wednesday. Mr* Clifton, who came forward'in tin ( \ui-
servative interest, was the only candidate before the electors.
Mr. CalJan having elected to sit for Dundalk, there is a vacancy

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS.

MUSIC.

TOE OI’ERA SEASON.

AVe have still only to record the performances of Her Majesty’s
Opera at Drury-Lane Theatre, as those of the Royal Italian
Opera will not commence until Tuesday next.

Our last notice of Mr. Maploson’s establishment was ne¬
cessarily restricted to the performance of the opening night,
Tuesday. On the Thursday following “ 11 Trovatore ” was
given for the debut of Signor Galassi aa tho Count di Luna—
that of Mdllc. Lodi, as Amina in 44 La Sonnambula.” (announced
for Thursday), having been postponed to Saturday.

The new baritone possesses a voice of considerable power,
yet of agreeable quality, and his phrasing generally denoted
both culture and intelligence. His delivery of the popular
“11 balen ” was so successful as to necessitate repetition, when
it was still better given, much of tho nervousness of a lirst
entry having subsided. The favourable impression produced
by Signor Galassi was improved with the progress of the opera,
his acting and singing having been very effective in the great
scene with Azitcena, and the still more important duet with
Leonora. This latter character was represented by Mdile.
Titiers with that high dramatic and vocal power which have
long rendered it one of her finest impersonations, a similar re¬
mark applying to tho Azucena of Madame TreboHi-Bettini.
Signor Hamlin, as Manrico, sang and acted with great energy,
and shared with Mdile. Titiens the encore of the “Miserere.”
Other characters were filled by Mdile. Bauermeister and Signori
Rinaldini, Campobcllo, and Casaboni.

Mdile. Lodi, who made her first appearance in this country
on Saturday, has a light soprano voice, clear and agreeable in
quality, if not remarkable for power. Her intonation is
generally good, and she executes florid bravura passages with
much fluent skill, having also considerable capacity for pathos
and passion. The commencing portion of the opening cavatina,
“ Come porme sereua,” was gracefully sung, and its concluding
movement, “Sovra il sen,” was given with an impulse and
brilliancy that confirmed the good impression previously male.
This was further improved by the singing rather than tho
acting of Mdile. Lcdi in the bed-room scene, especially in the
touching passage, “Non credca mirarti; ” and the clever
execution of the Ural bravura, “ Ah ! non giunge ” secured the
favourable reception of the new Amina, whose futuro perform¬
ances w ill probably gain w r ith tho increased conlidcnce of the
artist. Other features in the cast were so familiar as to require
no more than mere mention. Signor JYsudin wns Elrino;
Signer Agnesi, Count Rodolfo; and Mdile. UaucrmeistBr, Lisa.

This week's performances began, on Tuesday, with “ 11
Tro nic re, ” cast as before ; for Thursday * 4 Lucia di Luininer-
me or ” was announced; and to-night (Saturday) “Fidelio”
is to l c given, with Mdile. Titiens as the heroine, and the first
appealance of Herr Conrad Behrens, as Rocco.

l est week’s Crystal Palace concert brought forward a work
by Johannes T'rahms hitherto unheard in this country. It is
entitled ‘ 4 bhieksalBlied ” (“ Song of Fate ”), and is written for
chorus and orchestra. There is much of^ c:dni beauty in the
opening adagio, and some powerful writing in tho following
alkgio. The piece is of moderate length, and therefore free
frern that diftusenes3 and over-elaboration which characterise
scn.c of its composer’s more ambitious inductions. Herr
Jcachings masterly performance of Mendelssohn's concerto,
sr.d of a portion of one of Bach’s sonatas for violin, and a fino
execution of Beethoven’s fourth symphony (in B Hat), were
other special features of the programme, which included Mr.
Sullivan’s overture to “The Sapphire Necklace ” and a repe¬
tition of Brahms’s orchestral variations on a theme by Haydn,
find introduced here three weeliB ago. The vocalists were
Nladamo Sinico and Mr.Vcmon Rigby. To-day (Saturday)
Littolirs concerto-symphonic for piano (with orchestra) is to be
performed by Mr. Oscar Beringer, and Herr Carl Rclnoke’s
overture to the operetta, “An Adventure of Handel,” is to be
given for the first time here.

^ The sixteenth season of the Monday Popular Concerts will
close next week with a programme of special interest, the
occasion being the annual benefit-night of the director. At
lest Monday’s concert Herr Joachim led Mendelssohn’s quartet
in L Hat, from op. 44, and played, with Mr. Charles Halid,
Peethovm's “ Krctttzer ” sonata, for piano and violin, the solo
cf the last-named gentleman having been the same composer’s
sonata in 1> from op. 10. „

Mr. Arthur Sullivan’s oratorio “The Light of tlio Vi orld
v as given by the Royal Albert Hall Choral Society, for the lirst
lime in London, on Thursday week, when tho wmrk was con¬
ducted by the composer, ns on its production at last years
j junii ghnra Festival, for which it was specially commissioned
ai d cemposed. On that occasion w*e entered so fully into an
ai alvsis of the merits and characteristics of the music that
brief notice may now suffice, premising that tho general effect
has been much enhanced by various changes which the composer
has since made, these being chielly a reduction in length of
several of the pieces, both choral and solo. As now" modified,
the oratorio gams much in compactness of form. At the per-
foiirar.ee referred to the orchestral and olioral portions of the
score (its best features) derived full effeot from the vast forces
assembled at these concerts *, and the occasion *n»

SpctAtAW interesting by the attendance oi the Prince and
Princess of Wales, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, and
.other Royal personages. The principal singers were Mes limes
Xcmm eng- Sherrington and Patcy, Mr. (Jammings, and Mr.
Santley; some of the subordinate solo passages having been
sustained by Miss Spider and Mr. May brick. Dr. Stainer pre¬
sided at the organ. . „ .

Yesterday (Friday) week tho Sacred Harmonic Society gave
Mr. G. A. Macfarren’s oratorio 44 St. John the Baptist,’
which was then heard for tho first time in London. Hero,
as in the case of Mr. Sullivan’s oratorio, we aro absolved
from the necessity for lengthened comment, having noticed
the work on its lirst production, at the Bristol Festival, in
October lust, .^mce then it baa been given at Manchester, again
conducted by Mr. Charles Halle, and with a renewal of the
Bristol success; and now we have to record a still greater
triumph in its enthusiastic reception by one of those large
and critical audiences which are accustomed to assemble at
tic concerts of the Sacred Harmonio Society. Seldom ha3
l>etur Hall been more completely occupied than on thu
occasion ; indeed, it could scarcely have been fuller. Three
of the solo singers—Madame Lcinmens-.Shomngcon, Mr.
E Lloyd, and Mr. JSantiej’’—wore the sarno as at
Bristol; Miss Antoinette Stirling having replaced Madame
Patty in tho music of the narrator. These names are
sufficient to indicate that the performance in tins respect
vas excellent. Admirable, also, w’as tho choral and
orchestral execution of tho work, a result largely owing
to the care and interest taken in its preparation amt direction
by Michael Costa, the conductor. All the choruses, most
ot which aie w ritten with a masterly hand, produced a mar ked
iiiq rusic u, two Laving had to bo repeated. These were.^ the
movement for female voices, “This is my beloved son, ’ ami
the Inc tlioius ending the first part, “My soul, praise the
Loid,” in which the well-known psalm tune ‘‘Hanover is

treated with rare ingenuity and skill. The unaccompanied
quartet for the solo voices, “Blessed are they,” was also
encored. Tho applause w*as frequent throughout the oratorio,
and Air. Macfarren was twice called for. Tho society’s forty-
second annual Passion-week performance of “ The Messiah ” is
to take place on Wednesday next.

The second concert of Mr. Henry Leslie’s choir, on Tae3-
day evening, consisted, of a selection of sacred music, which
included a fine motet, “Dixit Dominus,” bv the late Samuel
Wesley ; a similar and older piece, “ Gaudent in Ccelis,” by
Walliser ; a new “Tautum Ergo,” for eight-part choir, by Mr.
J. P. Barnett (encored); Mendelssohn’s sublime psalm, “Judge
me, O God ” (encored); Bach’s motet, “ I wrestle and pray ; ”
M. Gounod’B new “ Ave Vcrura” (encored); Mr. Charles
Horsley’s anthem, “ I was glad and several new part-songs,
two of which, Mr. Leslie’s “The Rainbow” and “The Lul¬
laby of Life,” had to be repeated. Tho singing of the choir
was admirable in all these pieces. Vocal solos were contributed
by Mr. Bcnthnm and Mr. Ainsworth, Mr, Leslie conducted as
usual.

The sixtv-second season of the Philliannonie Society opened
on Wednesday evening, when a selection of high and varied
interest was performed, commencing with No. 11 (in A) of
Handel’s “Conccrti grossi ” for stringed instruments (the inci¬
dental solo passages skilfully executed by Herr Straus, M.
Buziau, and Mr. W. Pettit), and including Beethoven’s violin
concerto and his romance in F, splendidly played by ilsrr
Joachim, the same composer’s overture to “Ring Stephen,”
and Weber’s to “Der Freischiitz,” and Mendelsohn's
“Scotch” symphony. Tho orchestral pieces w’ero finely
rendered under the direction of Mr. Ousins, who lias now
entered upon his eighth year of office as conductor of tlie-ie
performances. Mendelssohn’s scena, “Infclico,” and an aria
from Graun’s “ Britannico, ” were effectively declaimed by
Madame Otto-Alvaleben. The next concert will take place on
Monday, April 20.

The New Philharmonic Concerts b^gin somewhat late this
year, the opening of the twenty-third season being announced
for Saturday, April 18, when the first of four morning concerts
will be given, the remaining four performances being fixed for
evenings alternating therewith.

Miss Josephine Lawrence gavo a concert at the Hanover-
squarc Rooms on Tuesday evening, when 3he played, with
great effect, Beethoven’s sonata for piano solo in 0 minor (from
op. 10), M en dcJj>solm’s trio in the same key, Schumann's varia¬
tions for two pianofortes, and Mozart’s sonata An G for
piano and violin. Herr Straus was the violinist, Signor Piatti
l he violoncellist, and Miss Lawrence’s ins true tor, Mr. Franklin
Taylor, sustained one of tlio pianoforte parts in Schumann’s
piece.

Tlie fifth concert, and last but one, of the British Orolmfcral
Society took place on Thursday evening, when a new sym¬
phony* by Mr. G. A. Macfalreu m'iuj produce!, of which we must
speak next week.

Next week will also be a busy one. Besides the opening
of the Royal Italian Opera and the closing Monday Popular
Conceit, (already referred to), it will include a Berios of
nightly performances of sacrod music at the Royal Albert Hall,
where, among other works, Bach’s “ Paecion-Music ” will be
given—the recurrence of the annual repetition of tliia compo¬
sition, as part -of an evening service at So. Paul’s Cathedral,
being fixed for Tuesday next.

The Sacred Harmonic Society’s annual Passion week per¬
formance of “Tlio Messiah” will take pi ice on Wednesday
next at Exetor Hall. Madame Sinico, Madame Trobolli-Bettini
(her first appearance at the society’s concerts), Mr. SiiU3
Reeves, and Mr. Santley will be tho principal vocalists, and
the performance will be conducted by Sir Michael Costa.

The Prince of Wales has signified his intention to preside
at the dinner of the Royal Society of Musicians, which is to
take place at Willis’s Rooms on April 27.

A long series of daily evening concerts will be given iu the
Albert Ilall, beginning on May 1. The arrangement, said to
be on a very extensive scale, w ill shortly be made public.

THEATRES.

HAY3JAKKKT.

The new play at tho Uaymarket is by a now author, Mr. G. W.
Godfrey, who has given earnest in it of dramatic aptitude.
It >q fancifully entitled “Queen Mab but the fairy is repre¬
sented by an orphan mortal, whose loves and dangers interest
ns because they serve to bring out a character in contrast with
the servile conditions that impede its natural development.
These struggles with “unspiritual circumstance ” have ever
been suggestive, and the mind readily accepts their manifesta¬
tion ns the working of a sacred mystery. The earthly
outcome, however, uniformly disappoints expectation. Quesu
Mab is here simply the adopted daughter of a vagabond player,
an orphan, whose destitution itself is the very element in which the
nobler attributes find opportunity of display. Her real father,
named Yyner, was an artist, who had eloped with a Baronet’s
younger sister. Mab was the surviving fruit of their unfor¬
tunate marriage. It so happens that thin Mime Baronet, Sir
\ .Twile Cartw, of Cornwall, engages the orphan to give painti¬
ng lessons to his niece. Sam Curnick, the veteran actor who
has supplied the place to her of a parent, informs her of her
relationship, in order that she may make her choice whether to
retain her connection with Bohemian life or at once rise to the
pi iviJeges cf aristocratic society. Mabel Vynor decides on the
former. But lovo interposes to disturb her content. Gerald
Carew, the Baronet’s son, a Life Guardsman, intrudes
upon her while preparing supper, and amuses her with
bis languid and supercilious manners, wdficli she meets
with a brusque behaviour suitable to her apparent station.
His better nature is as effectually concealed from her.
They live to be better known to each other—ho as her
unk nown saviour from the peril of drowning (an incident which
he bad laughed at when related by her), and she as a great
painter, tho Baronet’s niece, and his own futuro wife. Iu
dev eloping his idea, Mr. Godfrey has conceived some striking
situations, and much excellent dialogue ; but he is apt to lose
sight of the action while elaborating the latter, which is not
seldom too much in tho styles of the late Mr. Robertson and
the present Mr. Byron. Young writers, however, naturally
notate: and Mr/ Godfrey will probably prove more self-
reliant in his next effort. He has provided some taking cha¬
racters for Mr. Buckstone, Air. Howe, and Air. and Mrs.
t'l :ppc«idale ; and these will suffice for tho present. The
;l i ciy, painted by Alessrs. O'Connor and Morris, is unexeep-
tioi ally good. Altogether, the audience received the new
drema with marked favour.

criterion.

It is the order of the day that theatres should increase in
number, and Messrs. Spiers and Bond have added to their mag¬
nificent restaurant at Regent-circus, Piccadilly, a neat and com¬
modious playhouse, which they have placed under the manage-
mtnt of Mr. H. J. Byron, assisted by Mr. E. P. Kingston as
business-conductor. The new theatre is of moderate size, but

elegantly decorated, blue and gold prevailing among tho colours,
and satin abounding in the materials for cushions and curtains.
The act*drop also does credit to the artistic reputation of the
Messrs. Grieves, and the stage is sufficiently capacious
for regular performance, though not perhaps for ab¬
normal monstrosities. Air. . Byron . has begun busi¬
ness with a new and original picco of his own—
a comedy in three acts, entitled “ An American Lady.” Tho
heroine is personated by Mrs. Wood, who comes over from
America iu order to save her brother from ruin, and accom¬
plishes her object by meeting ^his creditors personally, and, in
the free-and-easy style of Transatlantic diplomacy, gaining
their consent to maintain the business. A change takes place
in the state of the market, and the factory-bell, long suspended*
is set ringing again. There is also a minor action, consisting
of love passages between the American lady and the son of a
Baronet, who has abused his trusteeship, and receives from her
£2C00 to set matters right. These simple materials serve for
the framew ork and setting of much sparkling dialogue, in which
the wit is much more evident than the humour. In fact, tho
present piece is the careless work of a clever man, intended
only to start a new theatre with some degree of credit until
something better can be provided for its patrons. Jfc is fol¬
lowed by a burlesque from the pen of Mr. W. S. Gilbert, called
“ Topseyturveydom,” in which the capricious writer endeavours,
however vaguely and vainly, to show everything in a reversed
position—the population of that kingdom being born old and
growing young, so that ladies nurse their grandmothers in
tlieir arms, &e. The notion is obvious enough, but difficult to
realise, and we cannot congratulate the author on hia complete
success.

SCENE FROM “ AJAEY QUEEN O’ SCOTS/’
AT THE PRINCESS’S THEATRE.

After some little difficulty, Air. W. G. Wills’s historical drama
of “ Alary Queen o’ Scots " has been securely planted on tho
boards. The great scenes have become understood by tlie i>er-
foimers, and at length they identify themselves with their parts.
One cause of the ultimate success achieved is tlmt a certain
amount of spectacle is permitted to assist the general action
and to embellish it with pictorial groupings. Our Artist has
selected one of these spectacular scenes for illustration.
It represents the entry of tho newly-indue ted Queen
into fcicotland, where and when she is encountered by
the famous John Knox, who, zealons for Presbyterian
Christianity, is careful to oppose its Catholic form, and
strongly objects to the Queen’s wearing tho cro3s. Alary
is surprised by tho interruption, and justly pleads; that it
wss publicly known that she was a Catholic, and that there¬
fore the great preacher’s objection was an arbitrary insult, un¬
supported either by logic or true piety. The picture brings all
panics into prominence. There are Air. Rousby as John Knox ;
Mrs. Rousby as the indignant Alary ; the favourite, Ohasfcelard,
as now represented by Mr. Forbes Robinson; and the Subordi¬
nate characters completing the scene. We see at ofico that
tuch a group of historical individuals in actual action on tho
stage must form an interesting as well as a moving picture. We
may congratulate Air. Wills on having treated a difficult
subject so judiciously aa to ensure its success, and the actors
on liaviDg interpreted it in a manner satisfactory to the
audience and honourable to themselves, Tho victory has not
been won w ithout a battle, but it derives an importance from
the previous contest, which served mainly to show the value of
the result.

AIR. SIAjPSON’S “ ALL ROUND THE WORLD.”

The figure of “ A Circassian of the Soubash,” which appears
in cue of our Engravings, is copied from a sketch by Air. W.
Simpson, the well-known travelling Special Artist of this
Journal. Wo are glad to observe that he has received from
the Institute of Water-Colour Painters tho unsolicited honour
of election as a member of their society.

This sketch is to be seen, among the very interesting col¬
lection of sttchf works, exhibited by him at the Burlington
Gallery in Piccadilly, under the title of “All Round the World, ”
meaning pretty much tbe same as that of his lately-published
book, “ Ai coring the Sun.” Our readers are well aware that Air.
,Simpson was suit by the Illustrated London New, iu August,
1872, to attend the wedding of the young Emperor of China at
Pekin, w hence he came home, in 1873, by way of Japan, Cali¬
fornia, and the United States of America ; so that he did upon
that occasion perform, what is xio rare or difficult feat in these
days, the going all round the globe. But his travels and labours
anon artiac during the last twenty years have often led him
into regions not so commonly visited by our wandering country¬
men. He knows territories around the Levant, the Red Sea,
and tho Black Sea, from the stronghold of King Theodore
in Abyssinia, which he saw beleaguered, in 18GS, by a British
army, to tlio Crimea, where he witnessed the siege of
Sebastopol, and to the shores $f Circassia, whither he accom¬
panied the late Duke of Newcastle. Air. Simpson presents
a study of Circassian* national character and costume in the
sketch here engraved, it is as lifelike and truthlul aa most of
his other sketches, Tho Tchorkes, as their name is p>ro-
perly written, inhabit the lower part3 of the mountain valleys
on that side of the Caucasus range which is towards the Black
&ea, between tlie Abkhasians, whoso country lies more to the
west, and those dwelling cast of tho river Sunja—namely, the
Alidszeges, Kistes, or Tchotchenzes, and the Ossetes of the
highlands beyond Mount Kasbeck. There is a strange diversity
of races, languages, habits, and religions creeds among the
various populations of this region, from the Black Sea to tho
Caspian, fcince the Circassian struggle for independence, under
Schamyl, was suppressed by the military power of Russia, a
large number of the Mohammedans have chosen to emigrate
into Asiatic Turkey. Their place has been partly supplied
by Armenians removing tlieir habitation from tlie Turkish
dominion into that of the Czar. But the class of which Mr.
♦Simptcn’s pened has furnished a characteristic type may still
be met with. In the details of this highland chieftain’s
apparel, w e notice a peculiar sort of bandoliers, a row of small
receptacles for cartridges, or powder and bullets, suspended
across the man’s breast.

The order of the Legion of Honour hr.3 been conferred upon
M. hmi’e PaiilRrc, son of the founder of tho well-known firm of
medical publishers.

Alessrs. Papayaum, the owners of tho steamer Laconia,
from which 117 pilgrims were said to have been washed over¬
board in the Bay ui Tunis, have received further intelligence
tending to show that only nine persons arc missing.

Tlie festival in aid of the funds of the Royal Hospital
for Incurables was celebrated, on Wednesday evening, at tho
London Tavern, under tlie presidency of Lord George Hamilton,
M.P. About 150 ladns und gentlemen sat down to dinner.
Subscriptions amounting to about £2000 were announced.

MY DAFFODILS.

Dear friend, I pray yon, drop your quills,

And come to see my daffodils.

Leave books and bookshelves, desks and tills.
They ’re trash compared with daffodils.

Before the swallows show their bibs
March winds have blown on daffodils.

The banks of streams, the sides of rills
Have yielded up their daffodils.

What golden beauty flames and fills
My garden with gay daffodils !

Hero all the fragrance which distils
A young Narcisse to daffodils ;

And poetry for two idylls
You ’ll gather from my daffodils ;

For dreadful Pluto, King of ills,

Snatched Proserpine from daffodils.

As 11 Dis’s waggon ” clomb the lulls
And, “frightened, let fall” daffodils.

The thrush, while morning song he trills.

Sings but to praise my daffodils ;

The nightingale its soft note stills,
Contemplating these daffodils;

The blackbird through my conpiee shrills
Its clarion, thou ting “ daffodils;”

The lark with keener transport thrills,
iti)raptured by iny daffodils.

The lambs w liicli gambol on the hills
Might frisk through beds of daffodils.

Not grown in formal rows and drills,

But nature-planted daffodils !

You cannot hope on window sills
Of city homes such daffodils. ^

Misers may, sighing, teav their wills,

With all their many codicils,

To purchase half my daffodils.

Doctors-should throw away their squills.
Juleps* confections, draughts, and pills,
Prescribing walks mid daffodils*

Diapers should leave lutestrings and twills,
And nothing sell but daffodils.

The chops, which one short minute chills.

And soups, and stews, ami roasts, an 1 grills,

A cook might leavo for daffodils;

And fishmongers their skates and brills
Might sell, uncleaned, both scales and gills.
And holiday with daffodils.

Painters should exercise their skil's
In pictures of my daffodils.

Each “ dimn’d old horse” in “ di nn’d old mills”
[Might change its track for daffodils ;

And topers, leaving sips and swills.

Taste purer joys with daffodils.

3 T won Id change the nature of go.ils
To stay awhile with daffodils.

Ob, what are Gladstones and DTsrils
To eloquence of daffodils ?

Without objections or cavils
All would prefer my daffodils.

Fairies might make stomacher frill;

From my indented daffodils,

And pixies dance their light quadrilles
In the parterres of daffodils.

O flowers of March ! O gay Lent lils!
iBut better known as daffodils)

O sweet narcissi! sweet jonquils !

Sweeter than all as daffodils !

From bulb to stamen and pistils,

No. flower can rival daffodils.

The rose, one morning frost which kills.
Compares not with March daffodils.

In vain will showery wet Aprils
Promise compeers with daffodils.

A cure for all man’s common ills
Is a day spent with daffodils.

More fragrant than the best pastilles.

Or beds of aromatic dills,

Is essence of my daffodils.

How gracefully, when calm instils
The sleeping air, hang daffodils ’

And when the breeze its charge fulfils.

How proudly wave my daffodils !

The “cup of joy,” though brimming, spills
INo atom, filled with daffodils.

A perfect cure for blue devils
Laughs out from beds of daffodils.

"Why, twenty Mary Somervilles
Might scienco leave for daffodils ;

And honey-seeking, gay trochils
Might make their nests in daffodils.

So come at once ! No “ wait untils.”

All things besides are utter “ A T <7*,”

Compared with priceless daffodils.

A week’s delay quite imperils
The sight of sights, my daffodils !

I’.S. Expect no fare but plain lentils.
Followed (m Rime) by daffodils.

PUBLIC CHARITY IN PARIS.

The severe distress this winter among the poorer classes in
Paris, where there is no regular poor-law provision, as in
England, for tho relief of the destitute, has led many in¬
fluential and benevolent persons to take part in special efforts.
The Duchesse de Magenta, wife of Marshal Mac Mahon, Due do
Magenta, Septennial President of the French Government, has
been placed at the head of some important charities. Her
proposal is to increase the number of soup-kitchens. At pre¬
sent there are forty of these soup-kitchens, which distribute
10,000 rations per diem. The Duchess thinks that seven more
Eoup-kitchens ought to be established, and that the number of
daily rations should be increased to 35,000. The distributions,
however, are not free ; each ration, worth about three half¬
pence, is sold to the applicants for one halfpenny—tho Parisian
poor objecting to receive charity. A large class of artisans,
too, cannot avail themselves of soup-kitchens. The bureaux
de bienfaisance are so organised that they do but little good,
especially owing to the formalities and regulations that fence
round all applications for relief.

WORK AND WAGES.

A four-feet vein of high-class coal has been struck in a new
sinking at the Llanharran Collieries, belonging to Messrs.
Richards, Power, and Co., of Cardiff and Swansea. Openings
have been made on an extensive scale for working it.

Tho Royal Commissioners of Inquiry into the Operation of
the Labour Laws are tho Lord Chief J ustice, Lord Winmarlcigh,
Mr. Bouvciie, the Recorder of London, Sir M. Smith, Mr.
Roebuck, M.P., Mr. Thomas Hughes, Mr. Goldney, M.P., and
Mr. Macdonald, M.P. The general scope of their inquiry
embraces the Master and Servant Act and the Criminal Law
Amendmend Act; but they will also have to inquire whether
it is expedient to limit or define the law relating to conspiracy
generally, or as affecting the relations of masters and workmen.

The trades union Parliamentary committee has held a
meeting, specially convened, to consider the action of the Govern¬
ment in appointing the Labour Laws Commission. A
resolution was unanimously passed declaring it to bo a more
excuse for delay, and protesting against it as a surprise, an
iutrigue, and a fraud. The trades unions of the country are
recommended to refuse to have anything to do with the Com¬
mission, either in tho way of giving evidence or of recognising
it s action. Mr. George Potter, at a meeting of trades unionists,
<m Thursday week, denounced as “ traitors to the cause ” Mr.
Macdonald, M.P., and Mr. Thomas Hughes, Q.C., because
those gentlemen have consented to serve on the Commission.

Mi*. Hughes has written to the papers justifying himself;
and Mr. Macdonald, M.P., who was present at a conference of
miners held at Glasgow last Saturday, justified his consent to
be nominated upon the Commission. A resolution of con¬
fidence in him in reference to this matter was passed.

Mr. Macdonald, M.P., has issued an address to the minors
«>f Scotland, in which he recommends them to consider well
before they finally determine to resist reduction of wages. Ho
suggests that they should meet the masters half way, and thus
unable 30,000 men to remain at work.

The miners’ strike in South Staffordshire appears to be
n-suming an alarming aspect. The whole of the men in the
< iiunock district are Jut, and the notices of a large number in
the Dudley and Bricrlcy Hill districts expire shortly. The
, expect of a general stnke of colliers in tho Black Country,

, onsequent on tho threatened reduction of wages, is more
- ric»us than has been the case for many months past. There
Suva been meetings in various colliery centres tbis week. In
North Staffordshire the miners have held a mass meeting to
l oacert measures for resisting the reduction of 15 pel* cent in
wages which takes effect from next Saturday. The masters’
conduct was characterised as “unjust, dishonest, and oppres¬
sive.” After paying them this compliment the men expect
them to receive their delegates at a friendly conference.
Should the reduction be enforced, about eight thousand of
it *.m threaten to strike. In Lancashire the same question is
I. iug discussed in a more pacific way by conferences of delo-
g r, :S. One of these took place on Monday, at Wigan, when it
ws:., announced that a joint committee of coal-mas tors and
• ■ducre’ delegates would meet as soon as possible to negotiate
lor a compromise.

The executive committee of the National Agricultural
Labourers’ Union met at Leamington on Monday, and reported
2590 unionist labourers to be locked out throughout the
country, and the committee gave permission for strikes in two
other districts where the men’s demands have been refused.
Tho recently-appointed Royal Commission on labour was
strongly denounced, together with the action taken by Mr.
Macdonald, M.P., and Mr. T. Hughes. Mr. Cox, the “Derby¬
shire magistrate,” apologised for Mr. Hughes and Mr. Mac¬
donald as the victims of a trick. They had been, ho said,
entrapped into the Commission by being allowed only half an
hour to decide whether they would servo or not. About 1200
looked-out farm labourers paraded Newmarket streets on
Tuesday, proceded by a band, and wearing tho unionist colour—
blue. Letters threatening incendiary fixes have been received
by some of the farmers.

At a meeting of coalowners at Cardiff, on Tuesday—Mr.
Fofchergill, M.P., presiding—an application from the miners to
restrict the output of coal in order to avoid the necessity for
reducing wages was refused.

The Oldham district colliers, on Tuesday evening, resolved
to resist the attempted reduction of wages. Eighteen hundred
uwu and boys are on strike.

Subject to Parliamentary sanction, tho Town Council of
Birmingham has resolved to purchase the business of two local
gas companies.

Dr. Lyon Play fail* has consented to preside over the health
department of the Social Science Association Congress to bo
held at Glasgow.

The Office of Admiralty Director of Education, which has
for some years been held by the Rev. Dr, Woolley, at an annual
salary of £1200, is abolished.

Sir Arthur and Mr. Cecil Guinness havo received, through
deputation headed by the Duke of Leinster, the thanks of the
Irish people, and especially tho citizens of Dublin, for the
munificent and patriotic support of the Exhibition Palace,
during two years, as a place of instruction and amusement.

Archbishop Manning, speaking, on Monday uight, at Exeter
Hall, on the subject of temperance, remarked that, if the enor¬
mous liquor traffic continued to extend itself year after year
unchecked, the day would come when Parliament would be
unable to cope with it j and its influence over the people of this
country would theu be so strong that by it the votes of electors
and elected would be determined. He looked upon this as one
of the gravest signs of the present day.

ROYAL INSTITUTION LECTURES.

FUNGI AND MOSSES.

Professor Williamson, F.R.S., in his fourth lecture on Crypto-
gamic Vegetation, given on Thursday week, considered the
Fungi ana Mosses. The fungi are a class of cellular, fiowerless
plants, growing in or upon wood and the herbaceous parts of
living or dead plants, upon living or decaying animal sub¬
stances, and in solutions of organic mixtures. A largo portion
of them are microscopic bodies, and only to be made out by a
very high magnifying power. Of these the bacteria have of
late excited much discussion. Dr. Bastian and others assert
that they may be produced by spontaneous generation—that is,
from inorganic matter by some kind of inorganic force without
the agency of life; while Pasteur and others deny their forma¬
tion, except by the means of the living germs abounding in
the atmosphere. Professor Williamson said that the question
was considered not yet ripe for settlement, but expressed his
own opinion that the evidence hitherto obtained is against Dr.
Bastion’s theory. He then described the nature and develop¬
ment of the yeast-plant and its relation to fermentation, and
other fungoid growths. The dry-rot, he said, should be termed
the “wet-rot,” since the spores of this fungus light upon
damp, not dry, wood, and run into its tissues with in¬
credible power—tho decay hastening with tho growth of the
fungi. If the wood he painted, the mischief is hid, till
utter destruction ensues. The noxious fungi of the vine
and tho potato, and the mould formed on preserves, were
also noticed. Proceeding to mushrooms, he stated that
what we use as food is the fruit of the fungus, the plant itself
consisting of small white filaments composed of cells closely
joined together. After commenting on the modes of reproduc¬
tion and development of mushrooms, the Professor said that
the Italians reject the mushroom used, at our tables, and use
other kinds which wo despise, and he added that we thus
waste tons of wholesome food. He especially commended the
rapidly-growing puff-ball for its delicate flavour and nutritive
qualities, as far ex celling the cauliflower and cabbage. Healsode-
scribedtbe gradualformation of the “ fairy-rings” in our meadows
by growing fungi. The latter part of the lecture was devoted to
the mosses, tho most of which have a cellular stem on which
the leaves are arranged, giving the structure a very charac¬
teristic aspect. They possess also other analogies to the higher
orders of plants. After commenting on the peculiarities of
their development and multiplication, elucidated by diagrams,
tho Professor concluded by observing that, although tho
atmosphere is so loaded with minute vegetable germs that wo
cannot avoid breathing them or taking them in our food, yet
he did not believe that any harm ensued to ua in consequence.

TEMPER AT LEE OF THE ATLANTIC—THE CHALLENGER
OBSERVATIONS.

Dr. W. B. Carpenter, F.R.S., Registrar of the University
of London, at the Friday evening meeting, March 20, in be¬
ginning his discourse, said that the series of investigations
carried on by him in 1SG8 and tho three following years, of
which the results had been communicated to the members in
previous discourses, had led liira to the following conclusions :—
1. That there is a general interchange of water between the
Polar and Equatorial areas, wherever permitted by tho dis¬
position of the land ; the whole of tho deeper stratum moving
slowly from the Equator towards either Pole. This double
movement is sustained by the constant excess in weight of the
Polar column above that of the Equatorial column—their levels
being supposed equal—producing an excess of lateral pressure
on the lower strata of the former and a consequent outflow
towards the latter; this constant outflow tending to occasion a
reduction of level, which tendency will produce a continual
surface indraught into the Polar area. The theoretical correct¬
ness of this view is admitted by.every physicist, and qan easily
be demonstrated experimentally. 2. That the temperature of
tho deeper parts of the North Atlantic basin progressively falls
from 40 deg. Fahrenheit, at about 900 fathoms, to 35£ deg. or
to 36£ deg. at the bottom ; so that the whole of the lower
stratum (often exceeding 2000 fathoms in thickness) con¬
sists of water which has cither of itself come from the
Arctic basin or has been cooled down by a large admixture
of Arctic water. 3. That the temperature of the deeper
stratum of tho South Atlantic would be lower than that of the
corresponding stratum in the North Atlantic, on account of its
much freer communication with tho (South) Polar basin ; and
that the influence of the Antarctic flow might probably extend
to tho north of the Equator. 4. That, in consequence of the
meeting of tho two Polar underflows in tho Equatorial area,
and the continual draughting off of tho warm upper stratum
towards eitlicr pole, tho cold stratum would rise nearer tho
surface in the Equatorial than in the Temperate parts of either
ocean. All these predictions have been so precisely verified
by the Challenger observations as to afford a most satisfactory
confirmation of the general doctrine on which they are based.
Dr. Carpenter had further maintained that the amelioration
of the climate of the western side of the British Isles, of tho
Orkney, Shetland, and Faroe islands, of Iceland, Norway, and
Spitsbergen, is due to this slow Polar indraught acting on a
stratum of water, which, even as far north as the Faroe
Islands, has a thickness of several hundred fathoms; and
that this could not bo rightly attributed to the influence
of tho Gulf Stream (restricting that term to the proper
Florida current), which dies out after passing the banks
of Newfoundland, where it meets the Arctic current,
being no longer distinguishable either by movement or by
temperature from that general north-eastern surface drift
which is maintained by the prevalence of south-west winds
over this part of the North Atlantic. This view, also, has
been confirmed by the Challenger investigations, which have
Bhown that the true Gulf stream, even when flowing past
Sandy Hook at the rate of threo miles an hour, has not a
greater depth than one hundred fathoms ; and that this depth
is still smaller when it passes Halifax, by which time it has
extended itself superficially. But these investigations havo
also shown that between Bermuda and the Azores tho tem¬
perature of the upper stratum between 100 and 600 fathoms
is much higher than that of the corresponding stratum nearer
the Equator, a temperature above 60 cleg, prevailing down to
the depth of 300 fathoms, at which tho temperature at ten
degrees nearer the Equator is only 55 deg. ; and while under
the Equator it is but little above 40 deg. As this excess of
warmth gradually disappears towards tho Azores, and is entirely
lost between tho Azores ancl Madeira, the lecturer thought
that it might not improbably be due to the return of that
portion of the Equatorial current which does not enter the
Caribbean Sea or the Gulf of Mexico, but is deflected north¬
wards by the chain of the Antilles and the coast of Florida and
Georgia. This has been very commonly included in the general
designation, “Gulf Strepi;” but Dr. Carpenter urged that
tho term should be restricted to the Florida current. In so
far as the upper stratum of the Atlantic in the latitude of the
Azores derives an excess of warmth from this northern diver¬
sion of the Equatorial current, to that extent our own climate
is ameliorated by it; since the indraught which carries that
stratum northwards into the Arctic basin will thus bear with it

a greater store of heat. But this indraught of heat would
equally take place if there were no Equatorial current at all, or
if it could all pass on w ithout interruption by any laud barrier
into the Pacific. In conclusion, Dr. Carpenter referred to tbo
observations made during the further voyage of the Challenger
from the Cape to Kerguelen’s I^and, thence to the border of
the great southern ice-barrier, and thence to Australia (the
satisfactory completion of which lias just been announced by
telegram from Melbourne), as likely to afford a firm basis for
the doctrine ho had advocated, w hich, if established, would be
of tho highest importance in physical geography. George
Busk, Esq., F.R.S., the treasurer and vice-president, was m
the chair.

THE TEMPLE OF DIANA AT EPHESUS.

Mr. CharleB T. Newrton, in his second lecture on Ephesus and
its Temple, in connection with Mr. Wood’s discoveries, on
Saturday last, after rapidly touching on the points of chief
interest in tho biblical narrative of St. Paul’s visit, dwelt upon
the celebrity of the goddess Diana, or Artemis, and the pre¬
valence of her worship, which was carried by the Phocamns as
far as their remote colony Marseilles. Her especial character¬
istics were referred to an Asiatic origin. On the Ephesian coins
of the Imperial period, and in certain statues in Italian
museums, doubtless copied from the statue in her temple at
Ephesus, she appears in a rude and archaic form, loaded -with
strange symbols, unlike the type of the beautiful huntress-
queen, the Artemis of the Greeks. We have an analogous
phenomenon in regard to other deities of Asia Minor, bearing
Greek names, but differing essentially in type from their
Hellenic homonymOs. The multiplication of breasts in tho
Ephesian Diana is explained by St. Jerome as the symbol of
her being the nursing-mother of all animal life, and is at
variance with Hellenic treatment. Mr. Newton then gave a
short history, first of the original temple, founded about 580,
finished about 460, and burnt by Herostratua 356 b.c. ;
and then of the second temple, built during the reign
of Alexander the Great, whose well-known proposal to the
priests, and their still more celebrated evasion of Ins conditions,
will be remembered. It is the remains of this second temple
which Mr. Wood lias discovered. This edifice was specially
interesting, not only as being a kind of museum for w T orkB of
art, but also as having served, like other ancient temples, ns a
bank of deposit. The wealth of states, kings, and private
individuals was deposited within its treasury, under the
guardianship of the priests, who kept careful records of all such
property. The Parthenon at Athens had a similar treasury, of
which the nearly complete accounts for a series of years have
come down to us, and have been recently published by the
industry of the Germans. Among the inscriptions discovered
at Ephesus are two documents of this class ( which throw much
light on this ancient system of banking. Some of the property
thus left in deposit must have occasionally lapsed for want of
heirs, ami thus swelled the revenues of the goddess, resembling
the case of the Suitors' Fund in our Court of Chancery.
Xenophon, when going on a campaign with Agesilaus, left a
large sum of money with one of the chief priests at Ephesus,
with the understanding that it should be restored to him if
he returned, but if bo did not that it should be dedicated to the
goddess. Besides gifts, bequests, dedications, and tinea, her
personal property, she also possessed real property, in the shape
of lands, of which tho fee simple wqs sometimes sold by the
owners to the temple, on the condition that they should
remain in undisturbed possession as life-tenants, at a fixed
rent, the land being thus protected from pillago and confis¬
cation. This tenure may be compared to that under the
monasteries in the Middle Ages, and to tho Turkish Vakouf.
The ancient privileges of the temple as an asylum for fugi¬
tives were of great importance j and, though occasionafly
abused, were allowed even by the Roman Emperors. Female
slaves maltreated by their masters found refuge here, and,
if they proved their charge, became servants of the goddess;
otherwise, however, their masters were bound over to keep
the peace. Of the exact subordination and functions of tbu
body of priests belonging to the temple Mr. Newton said that
we have no knowledge. After noticing the grand festival of
Artemis, held throughout the month Aitemisian (or March),
which was dedicated to her, the lecture was concluded with a
description, drawn from one of the Greek novels, of the pro¬
cession in her honour on her birthday. May *25, in which
Abrokomas, the hero, walked among the Ephebi, or young
men, and Anthia, the heroine, was with her companion maidens.
The concluding lecture, on Saturday next, will be devoted to
Mr. Wood’s discoveries.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF GASES.

Professor Tyndall began his sixth and concluding lecture,
on Tuesday last, by referring to Boyle’s experiments, which
showed that the motion of falling bodies and the swing
of the pendulum are retarded by the resistance of tho
atmosphere, which was further proved by a guinea and a
feather falling, in precisely the same time, in the exhausted
receiver of an air-pump. The principle of the syphon was
next explained and illustrated, and it was demonstrated that
the bend of the syphon must not bo at a greater height above
the level of the liquid than corresponds with the height ol
a column of the liquid which the atmospheric ntessy/r can
Bupport. Thus, if the liquor to be drawn off he mercury,
the height of tho bend must be less than 30 inches; and if
it be water, it must be leas than 34 feet. Having exhibited
the motion of the flame of a candle towards the current of
air rushing towards it, the Professor showed that this occurs
also wntli a steam-jet, which w T as thereby enabled to balance
an egg-shell and a glass ball successively. He then alluded
to the researches of Clement and Desormes in relation to this
subject, and to the ingenious practical application suggested
by Mr. C. William Siemens. This was followed by 1111
account of the experiments whereby Magnus explained
the deviation of round projectiles to be duo to their
rotation in their passago through the air. The hydraulic
system of the human body, the heart and its appendages.
w r as next alluded to. and the sphygmograph, which by tracing*
records the manner in which the heart is working, was ex¬
hibited in action upon the Professor himself, the state of hi*
pulse being revealed by the movements of a ball of light upon
the screen. The use of the cardiograph, for registering the
action of the heart, was explained, and the results of Dr.
Sibson’s administration of nitrate of amyl were shown in
tracings on smoked glass. After stating that all gases are
really the vapours of liquids, Professor Tyndall referred to
Faraday’s liquefaction of chlorine and other gases, and ox*
hibited an iron bottle containing 200 gallons of carbonic acid,
the gas in soda-water. When some of this condensed gas was
drawn ofi the cold created by its evaporation was so great as
to turn the watery vapour and the condem • 1 gas itself into
6now, and even to freeze mercury. The interesting researches
of Professor Andrews on the gaseous and liquid states of
matter were next commented on, as proving the continuity of
these states ; and, finally, Mr. Ladd’s process of liquefying the
gas ammonia was exhibited in action.

No lectures will be given in Passion and Easter weeks.

NEW BOOKS.

Tn tho volume, An Art-Tour to Northern Capitals of Europe,
by J. Bexvington Atkinson (Macmillan and Co.), the author
explores the outlying fields or fallows of modern European,
Scandinavian, Oriental, and classical art; and it Is very curious
to see how the utmost extremes of artistic conception, motive,
and aim, or style and habit of treatment exist side by side, yet
very rarely blend together or modify each other. As wo accom¬
pany the author to Copenhagen, Christiania, and Stockholm,
St. Petersburg, Moscow, and Kief, we are reminded of the
fringo of some rich tapestry or carpet, where the colours appear
distinct and individual, without the crossing and interchange of
warp and woof. Artists should be very grateful to Mr. Atkinson;
for a great part of his observations relate to a terra incognita,
comparatively speaking, and the public will find much that is
interesting, a3 well as novel, in tho book. A portion of tho
materials had previously been used for articles published in
journals and magazines, but about two thirds of tho present
volume are new. Tho author had unusual qualifications for the
task he undertook. He had an extensive acquaintance with art
throughout the middle and southern States of Europe, and had,
besides, visited Egypt and Syria, so that ho possessed ample data
for forming a just estimate of the condition of art in the new
regions he has traversed. One of the most valuable essays in tho
early part of the book is that on Thorwaldsen, which is duly
critical and analytic, yet warmly appreciative. Very interest¬
ing and valuable is the description of St. Petersburg, which
includes a more complete and trustworthy account of the
famous collection of the Hermitage than we before possessed
in English. This magnificent collection, which will bear com¬
parison with the richest galleries of Europe, is the noblest
monument of the wealth and public spirit of successive
autocrats of Russia since Catherine II. The Dutch pictures,
says Mr. Atkinson, are not to be equalled save in Holland
or in Dresden ; the Spanish school has no competitor save in
Madrid and Seville; the portraits by Vandyke and the
sketches by Rubens are only surpassed in England and
Bavaria; tho collection of gold ornaments from Kertch is not
surpassed by the gold-work in. the Etruscan Room of the
Vatican; and elsewhere be says that the finest collection of
classic jewellery in the world has been exhumed from the
Crimean sepulchres; the coins are not inferior to the numis¬
matic collections in Paris or the British Mas earn. “ La
Vidrge de la Maisond'Albo ” ami “St. George,” by Raphael;
“La Madonna Litfcu” and a “Holy Family,” by Leonardo
da Vinci, with other important examples of these great
masters, arc also in the Hermitage, but have suffered
most cruelly at the hands of “restorers.” The English
roader can hardly be reminded without regret that tho
most valuable portion of the Hermitage Gallery, after the
Orozat collection, is Lord Or ford’s pictures, which were re¬
moved from Houghton to St. Petersburg in 1779, and lost to
this country for tho very moderate sum of £35,000. The
celebrated Royal manufactory of mosaics at St. Petersburg
receives considerable attention. At Moscow, especially, but
also at St. Petersburg and Kief, tho “ City of Pilgrimage,”
Mr. Atkinson, like all travellers in Russia, was much struck
with the picturesque aspect of the countless gilded, coloured,
and fantastically-shaped domes of churches and other buildings;
with the evidences of the vast mineral wealth of the Russian
empire afforded by tho internal decorations of those churches
and buildings ; and with the splendour aud sumptuousnes3 of
tho Greek Church ritual in its church functions and processions.
The offshoot of Byzantine art which is patronised by the Church
is an entirely traditionary and utterly dead style, or rather a mere
manufacture and trade. Sculpture, too, has no chance with
tho Greek Church, for she discountenances any representation of
the human figure in the round. The author justly points out
that symbolism, such as wo find in the Greek Church, has
“never been favourable to art as art; the noblest type of the
human form, which is the highest aim of art, has never been
striven for under the sway of symbolism. Physical beauty
and truth to nature stand, in fact, in the way of that
act of faith and attitude of devotion which the system
of symbolism engenders.” Mr. Atkinson finds little that is
hopeful in the present position and prospects of art in Russia
and the Scandinavian kingdoms. Proofs of capacity aud
abdity are given by many living painters, but their art is an
exotic : modem art, chiefly of debased classical and Renaissance
styles, has been imported from France, Germany, and England.
A native art has yet to be founded by reference to national life,
character, costumes, and landscape—much of which is ex¬
tremely picturesque. Future development may, says our
author, possibly be threefold. First, in the direction of
Scandinavian antiquities, as exemplified, for instance, in
Finnish metal-work. Secondly, Byzantine, especially for
decoration, the stylo being, as it wore, the natural heritage of
Russia; the best Russian decorative art being also already
directly Byzantine. Thirdly, and possibly the fittest sphere of
development, would be still more Oriental. Russia not only
borders upon ancient Byzantium, but she is the close neigh¬
bour of Persia, India, and China ; and when the thin veneer of
Western civilisation is scraped off the Muscovite is an Oriental.
RubaIo, therefore, should constitute hcreelf the oxponent and
(hnmpion of the Eastern arts. At present she seems to be
copying South Kensington wholesale, than which no course
could be more suicidal. A copious index renders the work
more valuable as a book of reference.

The biography of Leonardo da Vinci and the catalogue
raisonnde of his most important paintings, which constitute
Mrs. Heaton’s share in the authorship of the volume, Leonardo
da FVwci and His Works , by Mrs. Charles W. Heaton and C. O.
Black, M.A. (Macmillan and Co.), are extremely welcome, for
there has been a stiango deficiency in our language, of infor¬
mation in a collected, readilv-availablo form, respecting the
great Milanese master and nis works. Mrs. Heaton very
modestly intimates that she has only sought to compile, from
most of tho later and many of the earlier authorities, a
biographical sketch, from which nothing of interest in regard
to Leonardo’s life should be omitted, but in which there should
be no attempt at criticism of his works or genius. This inti¬
mation, however, does far leas than justice to the care and skill
displayed in tho arrangement and narration of the biographical
facts and inferences, or to the judgment and good taste with
which critical opinions on the master’s works have been collated
aud occasionally commented upon. Mr. Black’s able essay on
“ I Leonardo da Vinci in Science and Literature,” which is largely
based on Signor GUberto Govi’s researches in his treatise “H
Genio di Leonardo,” forms a valuable, and indeed necessary,
complement to the biography. Mr. Black conclusively shows
that Leonardo was not less great in philosophy and science
than in art. He may, in truth, be fairly regarded as the
first great teacher aud prophet of inductive philosophy, and the
first great discoverer and pioneer in very many departments of
modem science. Obviously, however, no figure in history at all
approaching tho intellectual and artistic grandeur of Leonardo
has ever been so neglected by posterity, and only enormous
labour and rare qualifications can effect a rehabilitation, so far
as that is now practicable. A strange fatality has attended all
that Leonardo did or wrote. His “Last Supper ” and many of

his chief works in painting and sculpture are either destroyed
or exist only in fragmentary studies or the copies of pupils.
The enormous mass of his manuscripts was left in dire confusion,
aud tho difficulty of reading his caligraphy and arranging his
notes is rendered doubly great by the peculiarity of the
writing—being from left to right, with numerous elisions and
strange orthography. Many entire volumes of his papers have
been destroyed or lost. Others are scattered throughout tho
various countries of Europe ; and some, such as the jealously-
guarded volume in which the French manuscripts are preserved,
are as yet unexplored. Yet the few “Sibylline leaves” which
have been examined and edited literally teem with the germs
of modem thought and science, and either prophetically hint
at or clearly anticipate inventions and discoveries in succeeding
ages upon which great reputations have been founded in several
branches of science. The volume under notice is handsomely
got up and illustrated by photographs from drawings by tho
master or from engravings after some of bis pictures.

Some subjects, like ghosts supposed to have long been laid,
are constantly cropping up again, without apparent rhyme or
reason; and to that category belongs the otherwise excellent
volume entitled Joan of Arc, by Mrs. Bray (Griffith and
Farran). It appears that the writer has lately been studying
“the French chronicles of the fifteenth century;” and a
generous disposition, combined, perhaps, with didactic ten¬
dencies, Beems to have suggested the idea of imparting to the
public the fruits of that interesting study. Yet it cannot be
said that tho story of the Maid of Orleans had hitherto escaped
notice. She and her voices, and her heroism, and her trial,
and her condemnation, and her rehabilitation may still have
some fascination hanging about them, but it is by no means the
fascination that belongs to novelty. To say nothing of his¬
tories, chronicles, aud other works, ancient of date and written,
some of them, in a foreign language, the wonderful maiden,
whose singular career has made the village of DoiunSmi illus¬
trious and historical, has not been lost sight of by modem authors,
both English and French. It seems but yesterday that a lady,
very well known in the field of literature, gave us a “Jeanne
d’Arc,” published by Messrs. Smith, Elder, and Co., and there
is at this very moment in courso of publication M. Guizot’s
“ History of France,” or French “Tales of a Grandfather,” in
which there is a very full aud sufficient account of the famous
Maid of Orleans. But this is, perhaps, a case to which
we may apply the popular Baying, “ the more the
merrier; ” and, at any rate, tho new version of an
old tale is evidently the result of much laborious and
conscientious research, and, as a historical monograph, is a
very meritorious production. It is one of those works which,
by their judicious intermixture of an individual’s romantic
biography with other matters of a more generally instructive
kind, are calculated to do inestimable good by inciting those
who at first turn over the pages for the sake of mere amuse¬
ment, or from an unwholesome thirst after the miraculous, to
imitate Oliver Twist in “asking for more,” and so to betake
themselves earnestly to the great sources of historical in¬
formation. Tho author commences with a brief notice of
tho relations established by the treaty of Troyes between
the English King, Henry V., and the tho French King,
Charles VI. ; gives a glance at the circumstances atten¬
dant upon the deaths of those two monarchs; sketches the
early character and tho misfortunes of Charles VII. and
tho miserable and ever-declining state of France ; and not
before the eightv-ninth page brings Joan of Arc to the birth.
Thence, which belongs to the sixth chapter, the biographical
narrative is straightforwardly proceeded with down to the
fourteenth chapter, which contains a description of her con¬
demnation and execution. Other events, more or less germane
to the principal theme, and including the apparition of “a
false Joan,” arc handled in the three succeeding chapters.
The eighteenth chapter shows how “posthumous justice ” was
“ rendered to the maid,” and deals with certain incidents of
which the celebrated Jacques Cceur, Charles VII. ’s liberal
creditor, is the hero. Tho nineteenth and last concludes with
the death of Charles VIL, and an estimate of his moral quali¬
ties and his abilities. The estimate is not a high one, less
high than that which M. Guizot—not committing himself to
any strong opinion of his own, but merely quoting contemporary
authority—might lead one to form. At tho same time, it is
difficult to allow much force to the plea urged by M. Guizot
when he says of Charles VII. : “ On ne peut plus attribucr sa
prompte et efficace activity, en 1453, a l’intiuence d’Agnes
Sorel; ello 4tait morte le 9 fdvrier, 1450.” Surely he would
have been a worse “faineant” than anybody ever thought he
was, if the effect of what “ gentle Agnes ” did was to end with
her existence. The quatrain written by Francis I. in honour
of Agues is differently given by M. Guizot and by Mrs. Bray,
and those who love to dispute over such matters may be glad to
have both readings. M. Guizot has it thus :—

Gentille Agnfcs, plus dlionncar tu mtfrifcea,

La cause ctant de France recouvrer ;

Quo ce que peut dedans un cloltro ouvrer

Close nonmun ou bieu devot ermite.

Mrs. Brays thus :—

Gentille Aznes (mc), plus iVhormour tu m<5rlte (aie\

La cause ctant <le France recouvrer ;

Que tout ce qu'en cloltro pout ouvrer.

Close nonain (sic) ni en desert ermite.

The latter, at any rate, has evidently suffered a little from
misprints.

AMONG THE NOVELISTS.

The attention of tho Postmaster-General should be directed to
the three volumes entitled Victor and Vanquished, by Mary
Cecil Hay (Hui^fc and Blackett); for it is quite clear that, so
far as tho postal arrangements are concerned, thero is some¬
thing rotten in the state of a town called Churchill, and of a
neighbouring village. It is surely very wrong that bewitching
young ladies—whether tall and handsome or short and pretty—
should have opportunities of wheedling susceptible old towns¬
men wbo combine the sale of stationery with a postmastership,
or of being suddenly taken so ill in the room where the corre¬
spondence of a whole village is being sorted as to render it
necessary for the sorters to run for brandy or anything else,
and leave the letters wholly unprotected. Such things are, no
doubt, even outside of novels ; but they are very reprehensible.
Nor can any but the loosest of moralists find justification for
two otherwise unexceptionable young ladies, who, for the sake
of checkmating villainy, have recourse to lying, misrepresenta¬
tion, imitation of handwriting, cajolery and downright theft.
Lovely and lovable they may be, and they are; but high-
minded is not an epithet to oe applied to them. The time
when probity is truly admirable is when it prefers to suffer the
uttermost rather than meet guile with guile ; aud the reason
why an honest man struggling with adversity is a sight for the
gods is, of course, because, as the very language testifies, the
struggle is, on the sufferer’s side, conducted with honesty.
The two sweetest, and they are very sweet, characters de¬
lineated in “ Victor and Vanquished ” are admirably handled
and give a singular grace as well as no slight interest to the
story ; but they are tainted in the manner hereinbefore in¬
sinuated, and the consequence is that they win our love with¬

out our respect, and they set a bad example ; wo cannot place
at a very high moral elevation cither the young lady
wl\o, for any reason whatever and without a thought of
the ruin or trouble or disgrace she may bring on the poor people
whom she beguiles, purloins a letter ; or tho other young lady,
who not only does the same thing (for to steal by agency is to
steal in fact), but also caricatures her own father. It may be
said, and truly, that a writer who would correctly represent
nature must not attribute perfection to even the most angelic
woman; but there are imperfections and imperfections, and
those personages whom a novelist intends to be despised should
have the despicable blemishes. As for the probabilities and
improbabilities of the story, there seems to be nowadays grow¬
ing up a laudable practice of allowing greater latitude than was
for a certain period of austere criticism vouchsafed to the
writers of romance, and therefore little more need be said ou

•ienoe emotions of
recital of how a
in tho case of
_ for a murder

which never was committed. There is a revival of the old
style, which had become almost obsolete, in the highly-
wrought description of the sinner’s death-bed; but the ease
with wb^h the upright allow their scruples about appropriating
the departed sinner’s money to be met and overcome is charac¬
teristic of the present, and indeed of all, times. Freshly and
pleasantly the story opens, and freshly and pleasantly it is told
in many succeeding pages ; of tantalising mystery there is no
little ; of pathos there is a modicum ; of love at cross purposes
there is enough to give piquancy; and of originality there is
an appreciable amount. It is not often that a tutor and a
“ companion to a lady ” exercise, even in fiction, so important
an influence over so many lives, or that a villain undertakes
the duties of a tutor as a sort of amateur and a lady of really
high birth and station is obliged to have recourse to something
not altogether unlike false pretences in order to obtain a situa¬
tion as “ companion,” getting a hundred a year for performing
duties which seem to consist chiefly in charming the reader anil
everybody else and speaking sweetly through an ear-trumpet.

A sober, staid, matter-of-fact, unexcited and unexciting style
is characteristic of Ivan de Biron, by the author of “ Friends in
Council ” (W. Isbister and Co.). The matter is such as would
have been more justly treated by the adoption of a less cold,
less dispassionate, less dull, less unpicturesque manner. Tho
contents of the three volumes are professeilly intended to be
illustrative of “the Russian Court in the middle of last
century,” aud in order to fulfil that purpose historical facts
have been interwoven with a romance. Conspiracies, military
revolts, political intrigues, banishments, recalls, the pomp and
circumstance of war, and the semi-barbaric splendour of
Russian ceremonials offered opportunities of putting upon
paper some striking pictures done with pen and ink;
and the imaginary fortunes of the hero, who rises from
obscurity to position and makes love to both a princess
and a gipsy, might have been made the occasion of a powerful
story, which should have irresistibly carried the reader through
the whole gamut of sentiment. But the opportunities and the
occasion, though they have not been altogether neglected, have
certainly not been made the most of. The tone is rather that
of the lecturer than that of the novelist; and, although there
is plenty of incident, there is little action—at least, action so
vividly portrayed that it seems to go on before the reader’s eyes.
The blood is seldom or never warmed ; the pulse is seldom or
never thrilled; the curiosity is seldom or never stimulated.
Such as tho plot is, it dwindles and expires, rather than cul¬
minates and explodes; and the repetition of similar situations, in
respect of persons who are banished to Siberia, is probably lifelike
and true to the times depicted; but is, nevertheless, a little
tedious. Interest, however, there certainly is, especially for those
who arc contented with sketches of character and long conver¬
sations having more to do with human nature in general than
with the progress of the story, and who consider the love-
affairs of a hero and two heroines to be quite a minor considera¬
tion. It is scarcely necessary to add that the novel—or what¬
ever such a work, being in three volumes, ought to be
designated — is, from the moral point of view, quite unexcep¬
tionable ; and that it is written (as many very popular novels
are not) in good, simple, unpretentious English. Indeed, some¬
thing a little more pretentious would have been appropriate to
certain portions of the story and would probably have relieved
their deadness.

A curious kind of hybrid, but lively and readable withal, is
A Chronicle of the Fernwrs: Horace Walpole in Love, by M. F.
Mahony (Sampson Low and Co.). Two volumes, unusually
elongated in size (out of compliment, perhaps, to Horace
Walpole’s long legs), contain a fiction founded upon
fact, a speculation eased upon internal evidence afforded
by Horace Walpole’s letters. And yet Horace Walpole
cannot be said to be by any means the chief character
of his gender in tho story; but he appears now and
then in the society of the heroine and as a writer of letters
relating more or less to the heroine and her fortunes, and on
such occasions we are called upon by the author to admit that
Horace Walpole, by his actions and his expressions, betrays
himself, and stands convicted as the deeply-smitten but hope¬
less lover of the peerless heroine. That heroine is Lady Sophia
Fermor, eldest daughter of the Earl and Countess of Pom fret.
Lady Sophia is described, on the authority of those who lived
and wrote during her lifetime, to have been almost unequalled
in beauty and grace by any of her own countrywomen,
and to have been the envy and despair of all tho
ladies, as well as the theme of admiration and versifica¬
tion amongst all the gentlemen, who were natives or Italian
inhabitants of that noble city of Florence, where we are first
introduced to her by our author. At Florence she meets with
the Duke of Newcastle’s nephew and heir. Lord Lincoln, an
admirer greatly to be encouraged by so ambitious a mother as
Lady Pomfret, and, we are bidden to suppose, a rival before
whom even the fastidious Horace Walpole feels it inevitable
that he should retire without a struggle. The fate of Lady
Sophia is the principal subject of the novel or chronicle, which
tells how she loved and was loved by the unstable Lincoln :
how she was twice jilted by that noble but inconstant and
somewhat time-serving and mercenary heir to the dukedom of
Newcastle; how she became an example of union between May
and December by marrying the powerful, but at the very least
elderly. Lord Carteret; and how, according to our author’s
theory, she died of a broken heart. Nemesis is made out to
have requited the exquisite Lord Lincoln by afflicting him in
his later manhood with a bottle-nose. The style in which the
chronicle is written is very animated ; characters are sketched
with considerable vigour ; there is a great deal of sprightly
dialogue ; scenes of a bygone age are cleverly reproduced ; an i
there is no small amount of wit, borrowed for the most part, as
was but natural and almost obligatory, from the letters of
Horace Walpole and others.

THE LIFE-BOATS AT ST. PETERSBURG.

One incident of the festivities and ceremonies that took place
at St. Petersburg, in the weeks before and after the marriage
of the Duke of Edinburgh and Grand Duchess Marie, w T as
sketched at the time by our Special Artist there. 35ut the
Engraving then made from his sketch has been deferred in
publication, on account of the great press of other Illustrations.
The subject represented was noticed in our current description
of the proceedings at St. Petersburg. It was the setting forth
of a procession from near the quay of the Admiralty, to escort
to the railway station, for conveyance to a remote destination
in the provinces, the two life-boats which had been provided
by a subscription raised among the members of leading societies,
under princely and noble patronage, at the metropolis of the
Russian Empire. Her Imperial Highness the Czarevna, during
her visit to England last summer, graciously showed her par¬
ticular interest in the arrangements for saving life at sea and
upon the coast, which have been made so efficient by the
Royal National Life-Boat Institution of London. This ha3 led
to the forming of a Russian Society for Aid to the Shipwrecked,
with a special additional object—that of furnishing the means
of rescue for lives endangered amidst the brealdng ice of
rivers and other inland waters of that vast country. We have
given some account of the matter on a former occasion. There
was something appropriate, in the public gift of life-boats, to
the wedding of Hie Grand Duchess with an English Sailor
Prince.

THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH’S MARRIAGE TREATY.

The treaty between the Queen and the Emperor of Russia for
the marriago of the Duke of Edinburgh with the Grand
Duchess Marie Alexandrovna has been presented to Parliament
and printed.

The treaty, which consists of twenty-one articles, was
signed, at St. Petersburg on Jau. 22, 1874, and the ratifications
were exchanged on Jan. 29.

Article 3 provides that the Duchess is not to be in any way
hindered in the full, free, and unrestrained exercise of the
religious profession of the Orthodox Church ; but shall, never¬
theless, of her own free will accompany the Duke to chapels
and churches of the Established Churches of England and
.Scotland, and other Protestant churches and chapels, at all
times when it shall be fitting that she should assist at cere¬
monies and other public acts which may bo held therein.

C hildren bom of the marriago are to be brought up as
Protestants.

By ^article 5 tho Emperor assigns to his daughter the
usual marriage portion granted to Emperors’ daughters of
1,c()0,000 roubles (about £150,000), which, is to remain for ever
in Russia, and bear interest at the rate of 5 per cent per
annum, which will be paid lialf-ycarly to her Imperial Highness,
who is to have the separate and exclusive enjoyment of it, and
is to be at liberty to dispose of it by wilL The Emperor, also,
•‘as a mark of his particular affection, which is not to bo con¬
sidered as a precedent for the future,” grants to the Duches3an
annual sum of 75,000 roubles (£11,250) for life, which her Royal
Highness is also to he at liberty to dispose of according to her
own free will and pleasure. The Emperor also assigns to his
daughter a special marriage portion of 1,000,000 roubles
(£150,000), to bo dealt with in the same manner as the ordinary
marriage portion. Her Royal Highness retains possession of
her private capital, amounting, when the treaty was signed, to
G00,000 roubles (£90,000).

There is to bo only one household for the Duke and Duchess,
and her Imperial Highness is to be at liberty to make any con¬
tribution she may please to the expense of the joint establish¬
ment; hut the debts and obligations of the Duke and Duchess
arc not to be common to both.

1 f her Itoyal Highness should become a widow she is to
have £GlX)0 a year from the English revenues, and is to be at
liberty to live in any country she pleases; and at her death,
whether she die before or after the Duke, the marriage portions
and interest and her private capital are to bo appropriated for
the benefit of her children.

In the event of her Royal nighness dying before her husband
and leaving no children, tho Duke is to have the enjoyment for
life of tho interest of the ordinary marriage portion of the
Duchess, and at his death it is to revert to the Emperor of
Russia. The special marriago portion would at once revert to
the Emperor in the event Duchess dying before her husband,
and without children. The only sum which would go abso¬
lutely to the Duke would be a sum of 250,000 roubles (£37,000),
which is to be taken out of the marriage portion mentioned in
article 5, the interest on this sum being deducted from the
interest on the marriage portion, which, as already stated, his
Royal Higlmess is to receive during his life.

Mr. Arthur W. Peel will act as Opposition Whip during
the Session.

At a meeting of the representative body of the Disestablished
Church of Ireland, held yesterday week, in Dublin, the fol¬
lowing resolution was unanimously passed :—“ That the sinccro
thanks of the representative body bo given to the London
committee for their liberal donation of £10,000 in aid of poor
parishes in the south and west of Ireland.”

A short trial-trip was made from St. Fancras to Bedford, on
Saturday, of a train of Pullman's “palace cars,” which have
been placed by the Midland Railway directors upon their line.
Two were “parlour” and two “drawing-room and sleeping
cars,” and the result of tho test is stated to have been very
satisfactory.

The Commissioners of Inland Revenue have arranged that
li^ts of all persons licensed to keep dogs shall be exhibited at
the police stations of tho district to which they belong on
April 1, and proceedings are to be taken against all defaulters
who are discovered. The penalty for keepiug a dog without a
license is £5, which the magistrate before whom a defaulter is
summoned may reduce to 25s., but no lower.

The council of the Royal United Service Institution, having
decided that a gold medal be granted annually for the he 3 t
essay ou a naval or a military subject, to bo determined on each
year by the council, have made known the conditions of compe¬
tition. The following is tho subject for the essay to bo ren¬
dered on or before Dec. 1, 1874 :—“On the best mode of
providing recruits and forming reserves for the British Army,
taking into consideration its varied duties in peace and war.”

Sir Samuel Baker, in reply to a complimentary address
presented to him by the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce,
yesterday week, expressed a belief that Africa would never be
civilised by the simple preaching of missionaries, however noble
the ideas of the societies and of the individuals might be. Tho
time had not arrived when the natives could listen to theo¬
logical teaching ; the time had, however, always existed when
the natives, who were men of common sense, would attend to
what would benefit their own position. Nothing could benefit
savages so much as the introduction of commerce.

DEPUTATIONS TO MINISTERS.

A Bmall army of deputations descended upon Downing-street
yesterday week.

Lord Derby received a deputation from the Associated
Chambers of Commerce, who urged an assimilation of the

£ atent laws of all countries by international convention. His
lordship was also addressed upon the trade with Spain and
Portugal, and the expediency was pointed out of entering into
negotiations by wkicn British manufactures may be admitted
in these countries on much more favourable terms than at pre¬
sent, and their wines be admitted into England upon virtually
the same footing as those grown in other countries.

Mr. Disraeli received a deputation of the same body, who
waited upon him to propose the appointment of a Minister of
Commerce, with a seat in the Cabinet. Mr. Disraeli promised
bis best consideration of the subject, but he reminded the
deputation of the great difficulties which exist in the way of
setting up new institutions in an old country like England.

Deputations on the subjects of railway management and tho
operation of the Workshops and Factories Acts had an inter¬
view with the Home Secretary. Mr. Mundella reiterated the
demand of the public for an inquiry into the causes of railway
accidents, and a more efficient system of precaution.

Another detachment was detailed against the Postmaster-
General to memorialise him on cheap telegraphy and the de¬
sirability of having a wire to Lundy Island. Lord John
Manners intimated that this would form part of a compre¬
hensive scheme now being matured. The memorial in favour
of sixpenny telegrams his Lordship treated as a question of
revenue, and made a note of it.

Monday's deputations comprised one to the Premier on local
taxation and another to the Chancellor of the Exchequer on
the brewers’ license duty.

The first was a combined demonstration of the Central
Chamber of Agriculture and tho Metropolitan Poor-Rate
League. Its views were expressed by Lord Hamilton, Mr.
DmQey Baxter, Mr. Albert Pell, M.P., and other gentlemen.
In his reply Mr. Disraeli recalled the occasion, some twenty-
five years ago, when he first advocated in tho* House redress
for roal property. This he carefully defined to be redross not
for land alone, but for all realised property.

The brewers’ deputation was strong numerically, and pre¬
sented an imposing front of M.P.S. Mr. Pryor, chairman of
tho Central Brewers’ License Repeal Association, stated the
grounds on which remission of the duty was claimed. Sir
Stafford Northcotc, having recognised the magnitude of the
case, promised to lay it before his colleagues.

A deputation of gentlemen connected with the sugar trade
waited upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer on Tuesday, and
asked for the remission of the remaining portion of the sugar
duties. The right hon. Baronet promised to examine tho
question in all its bearings, and with reference to other remis¬
sions of taxation which had been pressed upon him.

ASTRONOMICAL OCCURRENCES IN APRIL.

{From tho *•Illustrated London Almanack,* 1 )

During tho year there will be two Eclipses of the Sun and
two of tho Moon. The first is a Total Eclipse op the Sun
on April 16, but not visible from England. It will he visible
from the South Atlantic Ocean and part of Africa. The
central eclipse begins at lh. 4m. p.m., in longitude 4S deg.
west of Greenwich, and latitude 78 deg. 10 min. south, and
the central eclipse will end at 2h. 57m. p.m., in longitude
39 deg. 53 min. east of Greenwich, and latitude 29 deg. 45 min.
south. At the Cape of Good Hope there will be a large
partial eclipse, beginning at 2h. 38m. p.m., the middle at
3h. 50m., and ending at 4h. 56m., moan tune at the Cape.

Tho Moon is near and to the right of Saturn on tho
morning of tho llth, and to the left of this planet on tho
morning of the 12fch She is near Mercury on tho 14th,

They were, on being expelled, furnished with tickets to the
Newbury Union Workhouse.

CURIOUS WILLS.

(Contributed by the Author of “Flemish Interiors,

WILL OF MAXIMILIAN I., EMPEROR OF GERMANY.
Everyone has visited InnHpruck : everyone, therefore, knows
and has admired, with mingled awe and astonishment, that
monument of monuments raised to the mighty memory of
Maximilian I. in the old Franciscan church by Ferdinand I.

The pride of this Monarch of eight feet high, who seemed
destined by Nature’s self to dominate other men—who added to
his numerous titles that of Pontifcx Maximus, and aspired to
become, not only Pope, but “canonized saint,” in order to be
worshipped by his daughter and by posterity—appears, before
his death, to have descended to a very sober view of mortal
grandeur.

His will, dated 1519, affords a striking, not to say touching,
evidence of his changed convictions, being penned in a spirit of
profound humility.

Therein he orders that:—“As soon as he is dead his head
shall be shaven, his teeth drawn out, pounded to powder
publicly in the Royal chapel; that liis body, having been left
there all day, without pomp or state, should be thrust into a
sack filled with quick lime, and that, covered with a piece of
white cloth, it should be deposited in a coffin ; that it should
then be buried in the church of the palace of Neustadt, under
the altar of the chapel of St. George. Care was to bo taken
that the head and heart should lie immediately beneath tho
feet of the celebrant, who would thus tread on them every
time mass was 6aid there.” These directions were strictly
carried out; and although it w T as intended that his remaimt
should be removed to this mausoleum, the ceremony was de¬
ferred from time to time, and they still repose in their original
depositary.

THE WILL OF MONTAIGNE.

Anthomno, in his “ Commentaires sur les Coutumes de la
Ville de Bordeaux,” tells us that—

. . . “Montaigne, finding his end approaching, rose from
his bed, and, throwing around him a dressing-gown, opened hia
secretaire, called around him all his servants and such other
legatees as he had named in his will, and then and there pro¬
ceeded to count out to them severally the bequests he had made
them, thus forestalling any difficulties his ’heirs, executors,
or administrators 9 might raise against satisfying them after hia
death.”

This trait , which does honour to the judgment as well a9
the generosity and consideration of the great philosopher and
essayist, is not related by any of his biographers, yet is it well
worthy of record and of imitation. We may add it is emi¬
nently characteristic of a man whose motto may be said to have
been “ Que scay*je ?” Congenial with this spirit of Pyrrhonism
is the phrase attributed to him on his death-bed, “ Je vais
ckercher un grand peut-Ctre 1” This has, nevertheless, been
strongly denied, and it is asserted, on the other hand, that
Montaigne died while mass was, by his own desire, being cele¬
brated in his room, and at tho very moment of the elevation.
He was born February, 1533, and died September, 1592.

WILL OF VAUGELAS, THE GRAMMARIAN.

This eccentric but admirable individual, whose name is
familiar to every student of French literature, lived during the
period of what may fairly be considered its renaissance, anil
was as highly esteemed for his unobtrusive virtues as he was
respected for his profound science in the branch of letters
which he made his own. This knowledge it was that procured
him the entree to tho exclusive circle of “ Bcaux-esprits ” and
“ Pniricuscs ” who constituted that modem Parnassus kupwn
as the “ Salon bleu.” When the authors of that day, sur¬
rounded by illustrious amateurs, assembled in that consecrated
temple of the muses to read tho proofs of works destined to
become immortal, Vaugelas was the supremo authority to whoso
knowledge and judgment all questions of orthographical accu¬
racy and even of literary taste were referred by those votaries
of letters; and such men as Boilcau-Despreaux, tho grand
Corneille, and Racine bowed to his dicta.

Vaugelas was in receipt of several pensions, hut so prodigal
was ho in liis liberalities that he not only always remained
poor, but was rarely out of debt, and finally acquired amoit .;
his intimates tho sobriquet of “Le Hibou," from his compul¬
sory assumption of the habits of that bird, and only venturing
into the streets at night.

His will contains much that is original, hut wc shall con¬
fine ourselves to one characteristic clause. After disposing of
all the little he possessed to meet the claims of his creditors, he
adds :—“ Still, as it may be found that oven after the sale o!
my library and effects, these funds will not suffice to pay niy
debts, the only means I can think of to meet them is thAt my
body should bo sold to the surgeons on tho best terms that cau
be obtained, and the product applied as far as it will go towards
tho liquidation of any sums it may be found I still owe; 1
have been of very little service to society while I lived, I shall
be glad if I can thus become of any use after 1 am dead.”

This instance of philosophical probity is deserving of all
commendation.

Tho state umbrella of tho King of Ashantee is to be exhi¬
bited in the South Kensington Museum.

The twenty-first report of the Charity Commissioners for
England and Wales has been issued. It states that the sale.-*
of charity property authorised by the board during the year
have realised in the aggregate the sum of £264,543 19s. Si-
The total amount produced by the sales so authorised since
1853 is £2,748,521 10s. 7d., but a considerable portion of this
sum has been either reinvested in land, or applied in other way*
for the benefit of the charities entitled. With regard to the
fimetion of granting certificates of incorporation to trustees,
with which the board was charged by the Act of 1872, no more
than eleven such applications have yet been received, and only
two certificates have been granted. Tho commissioners express
a strong opinion that, according to past experience, corpora¬
tions cannot generally bo regarded as eligible trustees for the
ad mini stration of charities. The net aggregate amount of
stock and other securities transferred to the official trustees
of charitable funds during the past year was £592,041 11s. 2d.,
being the largest amount hitherto so transferred in any
one year. Sums amounting in all to £73,940 13s. 14.
were re-transferred or sold by the official trustees during the
year, partly for the purpose of being re-invested in land, and
partly with the object of providing funds for the erection of
school or other buildings, or effecting other improvements of
the trust estate. The amount of the stock so sold has been
exceptionally large. This may be partly accounted for by the
extent to which the trust funds have been drawn upon for the
erection of new school buildings in pursuance of schemes
established by the Endowed Schools Commissioners. The total
amount of the stocks and other securities held by the official
trustees on Doc. 31, 1S73, was £5,690,823 133 . 9d., which be¬
longed to 6907 charities. During the past year particulars of
310 newly-created or unrecorded charities had been entered in
the register, which now contains 7139 foundations.

SIR WILLIAM KEITH BALL, BART.

Sir William Keith Ball, second Baronet, of Blofield, Norfolk,
died at Sjjernall Hall, Warwickshire, on
tho 9 th in3t., and was interred ip the
family vault, at Poynings, on tho 17th.
Ho was born Oct. 27, 1791, the only
son of Rear-Admiral Sir Alexander John
Bali, first Baronet, the attached friend of
the ilrst Lord Nelson, by Mary Smith, his
wife, daughter of John Wilson, Esq., of
Westminster. The baronetcy, which is
now extinct, was conferred, June 24,1801,
on his father, who was Commander of
the blockade, and, after its surrender,
lirsfc English Governor, of Malta. Sir
William, whose death we record, suc¬
ceeded to the title on the 25th of
October, 1S09, and married, in 1870, Louisa, daughter of
Captain Yeats, R.N.

TUB HON. It. CHARTERI3.

Lieutenant-Colonel the Hon. Richard Chavtcris, of Cahir
Lodge, in the county of Tipperary, D.L., died on the
16th inst. at 16, Grosvenor-square. He was bom July 25, 1S22,
tiie second eon of Francis, present Earl of Wemyss and March,
by Louisa, his wife, daughter of Richard, second Earl of
Lucan, and was consequently next brother of Lord Eicho.
Adopting the military profession, ho served first iu the Scots

Easter Monday is not to pass away without its volunteer
review. A field day has been contrived, by tho authorities of
tlio Horse Guards, for the 8000 or 10,000 men of the metro¬
politan regiments, the Middlesex troop3 being under tho com¬
mand of Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar, and the Surrey

brigades under Colonel Stephenson.-Arrangements are

being made at Dover, by Major-General Sir Alfred Horsford,
K.C.B., for a field day and sham fight on a rather extensive
scale, in which the combined regular and volunteer forces of the
district will take part. The review will be held upon the
broad undulating land stretching between Dover and Deal, at
tho back of Dover Castle.

' The usual mode of election to the Royal Academy and other
fine-art societies involves the necessity foe artists first making
application. John Martin objected to apply to the Royal
Academy, as he insisted that that body should confer the
honour unsolicited, so ho was never an R.A. Tho Institute of
Painters in Water Colours has just begun a new movement in
this respect, and, on Monday evening, they selected and
unanimously elected into their body seven new men, who are
thus invited to join this society. The names are Messrs. Oakes,
tSyew, Simpson, Tenniel, Hardy, Houston, and Woolf. The
society hopes, by this addition of men of the varied talent
presented by these names, to give strength to their body and
increased interest to their exhibition. The institute was also
the first fine-art society in this country which thought it an
honour to enrol among their members the names of some of the
most distinguished artists of the Continent—such as Rosa
Boaheur, Gallant, Madow, and other*.

BILLIARD TOURNAMENT.

The second great billiard tournament promoted by W. Cook
was brought to a close on Saturday evening last, and resulted
in the victory of S. W. Stanley, who has hitherto been regarded
as a very poor all-round player. The plan of barring the spot
stroke cannot be said to have proved successful, for some of
the games were decidedly tedious, and tlio attendance did not
nearly equal that of the last handicap. All three scratch ineu
were put out in the first round, the balls breaking so badly for
Cook—who made a marvellous cannon and losing hazanl in the
course of tho game—that Taylor beat him easily; while John
Roberta, jun., and Joseph Bennett were defeated by nine and
four points respectively, owing, in each case, to a piece of care¬
lessness at the end of their games. We should be inclined to
say that Josejjh Bennett showed the best play of all the six¬
teen. Ilis lo&ing hazards were simply perfect, and his breaks
of 47, 71, and 26 very beautiful exhibitions of billiards. His
three brothers also played well throughout, aud Kilkenny's
game, as it always is, was thoroughly sound and good. Stanley
and Taylor fairly surprised everyone by tho excellence of their
losing hazards, and the style in which they brought tho halls
together after each stroku ; and, if they continue to improve at
the same rate, wo may expect that one or both of them will be
playing for the championship in the course of the next two oi
three years. Messrs. Burroughes aud Watts presented both
prizes, and their workmen took very efficient charge of all the
arrangements. David Ingarfiehl marked in his usual clear and
excellent style. We append a full return of the handicap:—

FIRST ROUND.

F Bennett, received 140, beat J. Stammers, received 250, by 43 points

T. Morris, 150, beat H. Evans 140, by 4 points.

L. Kilkenny, 140, beat Joseph Bennett, scratch, by 4 points.

SECOND TIES.

Stanley, 200, beat Kilkenny, 140, by 6 points.

Taylor, 180, beat A. Bennett, 140, by 104 points.

FINAL HEATS.

Stanley beat Taylor by 57 points.

Stanley beat Taylor by 40 points.

A deputation of guardians from Kensington has waited on
the President of the Local Government Board to recommend
consolidated management for the jjauper schools of the metro¬
polis. Mr. Gibbons, who related the facts of the case, *aid
there are now five district schools all under separate manage¬
ment. It was urged that the five isolated boards should ~be
superseded by a central one analogous to the Metropolit n
Asylums Board, whose operations had been decidedly suett -
ful. Mr. Sclater-Booth answered that the question had ah ady
engaged the attention of the metropolitan inspectors, and .t
would receive his most careful consideration.

TEE ILLUSTEATED LONDON NEWS.

LONDON, SATURDAY, APRIL / h lS7/ h

I lie last scene m connection with the stirring drama «
the War in Ashantee was exhibited on Monday las
Her most gracious Majesty hold, in Windsor Park
f^iewofthe kttle army which has returned from tl
Gold Coast, at which her thanks were personally offerc
to Sir Garnet Wolseley and his Staff, and through the.
conveyed to the non-commissioned officers and men I
uie evening, after suitable speeches in both Houses c
Parhament by the leaders respectively of the Governmen
and the Opposition, votes of thanks were unanimous]

agreed to. These ceremonials, fairly representing the *

sentiment of the nation, have fitly brought to a close au
episode iu the history of our country which, however
disagreeable in prospect, has served to illustrate in
vivid colours the best tjualitiea of our several defensive
services. \

This is not a meet occasion for analysing^- charac¬
terising the causes, either remote or immediate^ in which
the Ashantee War took its rise. There will be a diversity
of opinions respecting them, as there will be also respect¬
ing the policy which decided upon the campaign. But
whatever conclusions may be arrived at iu regard to
matters which fall exclusively within the statesman’s
province, there can be but one as to the uiauuerin which
the military and naval forces commissioned to give effect
to the decision of the Government have achieved the
task imposed upon them. The charge which they
received at the hands of the Executive Ministers of the
Queen has been faithfully aud triumphantly observed.
The duty intrusted to them has been most ably par-
formed. The object sought to be accomplished has been
achieved, and the lustre of British arms has, under
peculiarly trying and dangerous conditions, been kept
untarnished.

To a very large extent, the work intrusted to Sir
Garnet Wolseley and those who served under him was
novel in its character and in most of its conditions.
The war to be carried on was unlike almost every other
war of which history makes mention. The obstacles to
which -the British General found himself confronted
differed iu almost all particulars from those which a
commanding officer is usually called upon to surmount.
In many respects, the expedition to the Gold Coast
resembled “a leap in the dark. J The position, the
strength, and the ordinary tactics of the enemy were
unknown. The distance between his capital and tho
Gold Coast was matter of conjecture only. Between the
one and the other vast ranges of bush country inter¬
vened. No road between the two, capable of. being
traversed by a single battalion, existed. The climate
during the greater part of the year is pestilential, aud
even during the short comparatively healthy season is
fraught with danger to the health of Europeans.
The campaign must be opened and closed within
inexorable limits of time, and from the nature ot the
country ancl the habits of the foe it soon became clear
that every conflict would have to be carried on
with hosts of combatants hidden by the bush from the
sight of their assailants. Into this dark valley of the
♦Shadow of Death Sir Garnet Wolseley was bound to
adventure, and from its very heart to snatch, if possible,,
such a triumph as might guarantee for a long period to
come the security of the British Protectorate against tW
warlike, crafty, and ferocious Ashantee nation.

The feat of arms which has been accomplished by
the handful of forces under the command of >Sir Garnet
Wolseley is, undoubtedly, one of the most remarkable of
modern times. As far as true military instinct, backed
by precise calculation and informed by trustworthy in¬
telligence gathered from all quarters, could master the
uncertainties which impended over the campaign, the
“ leap in the dark ' was taken with as much confidence
in its results as could be supplied by scientific investi¬
gation. It was well said by Lord Granville, on Monday
night, that “ foresight had more to do with what Sir
Garnet Wolseley accomplished in the expedition than
even the skill and gallantry with which it was carried
but.” 4 * I have never known a case, r he added, i( in
which a scheme was so completely planned from tho
beginning, and carried to a successful end by
the man who conceived it.” This, indeed, is
the singular merit of the Generals exploit. lie
knew what he was going to do, and he fonm
the means to do it. Ho scientifically asccrlw/ift/

and measured all the steps to be taken, and lietwk
tlicm. A mistake or a failure involving but a few dap’
delay—nay, as Mr. Disraeli declared, “ a few hours
only v —would have been disastrous. Of corn’s 0 there did
occur sundry failures of the machinery extemporised for
the occasion. The native levies, as combatants, proved
worthless: as carriers, turned out to be treacherous.
But »Sir Garnet was never without timely resource. If
he had not provided beforehand for misfortunes which
happened, he was able to meet and overcome them by
some suitable device.. There is no reason to suppose
that lie under-.estimates the value of military routine \
but he has given to his country and to the world
abundant evidence to show that it is not by a pedantic
adherence to routine that such a war as that in Ashantee
can be carried to a successful conclusion.

It is matter for congratulation that so few lives ware
lost on the part of tho British troops, whether by actual
lighting or from the deadly nature of the climate. For
the first, thanks are due to the wonderful skill with
which the General drew up Ills plan of operations; iu
regard to the second, the chief‘merit must be attributed
to the thoroughly thought-out service of the msdical
staff, and to the liberality with which the late Adminis¬
tration provided all requisite remedies and comforts The
glory of the campaign is that it has brought into the
light of day not merely the discipline, the endurance,
and the gallantry of the troops, but also the intelligence,
patience, and resolution of every individual soldier
belonging to the rank and file. They were necessarily
thrown pretty frequently upon their own resources. In

advancing through the bush they could seldom
see the enemy they had to encounter, and very
frequently lost sight of their own comrades in
arms. They had, however, implicit trust in the
military competence of their officers and commander-in-
chief. They knew that the work given them to do was
such as could be performed, and that the place in which
they found themselves bound to display their gallantry
was the proper place for them to fill. Hence they were
never despondent, even if sometimes they were beset by
perplexities ; and the very fact that they were expected
to make the best of their individual powers, rather than
to act with the precision of a machine, seems to have
added vigour to their courage, and to have inspired them
with an enthusiasm which carried them triumphantly
through all difficulties and perils.

The war is over—the last war of the kind, let us
hope, in which we shall be entangled. The men to whose
skill and gallantry the conduct of it was intrusted have
been duly honoured by a thankful recognition of their
services by the Queen, the Parliament, and the country.
The distinction they have earned has been ungrudgingly
conferred upon them. The character of the British
Army has been more than fully sustained. Within the
short space of six months the objects of an extremely
dangerous and doubtful expedition have been sub¬
stantially realised. The curtain falls upon the scene
amid unanimous shouts of applause. We can only hope
that it will never rise again. Our sympathy with those
who have suffered bereavement in this campaign is too
keen to admit of our being covetous for our country of
that kind of reputation which can only be won by the
effusion of blood. Nevertheless, it will be a satisfaction
to the public, as it certainly is to us, to dismiss the
Ashantee War from our thoughts with the satisfactory
assurance that the men whom we look to for the defence
of our country, whether ashore or afloat, will be found
equal to any demand made upon them by the exigencies
of the future.

THE DUNKELD MONUMENT TO THE
42.vd HIGHLANDERS.

The additional honours won by the 42nd Royal Highlanders,
the “Black Watch,” in the late campaign, under Sir Garnet
Wolseley, against the Ashantees, and the hearty welcome they
have received on their return to England, will give fresh
interest to the beautiful monument placed two years ago in the
Cathedral of Dunkeld, Perthshire. This monument, publicly
unveiled by the Dowager Duchess of Athole, was provided by
tho officers of the regiment, as a memorial of their comrades
killed in battle. As tho regiment was first embodied in the
neighbourhood of Dunkeld, about 130 years ago, and its ranks
have been largely recruited from Athol Highlanders, the
venerable Cathedral of Dunkeld is a fit place for the monument,
which consists of a mural tablet, 9i ft high by 8 ft. broad, of
the finest Carrara marble. The sculptor is Mr. John Steell, of
Edinburgh, whose statues of the Queen, the Duke of Wellington,
Professor Wilson, 'and Allan Ramsay, in Prince’s-street, that
of Lord Melville, and the noble Memorial of tho Prince
Consort, arc conspicuous ornaments of the Scottish capital.

In this sculptured memorial tablet at Dunkeld, which is an
exquisite work of art, the chief feature is a large pointed panel,
surrounded by a richly-moulded and lofty framework, and
filled with an alto-relievo. The subject is taken from the fol¬
lowing lines in “ The Black Mousquetairc,” in the “ Ingoldsby
Legends” ;—

But a sombre sight fa a battle-field.

To the «ul survivor's sorrowing eye,

Where those who scorned to flv or yield
In one promiscuous carnage lie;

Where the cannon’s roar
Is heard no more.

And the thick duu smoke has rolled away,

And the victor comes for a last survey
Of the well-fought field of yesterday.

No triumphs flush that haughty brow.

No proud, exulting look is there,

His eagle glance is humbled now,

As earthward bent in anxious earo
It seeks the form whose stalwart pride
But yestermoi n was by his side.

And there it lies !—On yonder lank
Of corpses which themselves luul breath
But yestermora- now cold and dank
With other dews than those of death !

Powerless as it had ne’er been born
The Iniml that clasped his yestennom i
These touching verses have been faithfully translated into
marble, and the result proves how closely related the art of the
sculptor is to that of the poet. The principal figure is tho
officer who has visited the scene of carnage. With cap iu hand,
he stoops over the bodies of his comrades, mourning their sad
fate. In the whole attitnde of the officer there is much that is
striking and impressive. Tho feeling which marks the ex¬
pression of the countenance is seldom seen delineated in marble
with such remarkable truthfulness and power. This figure
may also he said to be an allegorical representation of the deep
feeling of respect which the regiment bears to the memory of
these Vhose deeds of valour have rendered the 42nd famous in
the annals of our country. In passing through, among the
general wreck and ruin, the officer comes upon a young ensign
of the same regiment who has been killed, and whose body is
lying over a gabion, with his head downwards. The brave
youth still grasps with his right hand the colours which he had
so gallantly borne, and with which, even in death, he refused
to part. The face bears a calm and heroic expression—the
figure, as a whole, presenting the very embodiment of true and
devoted courage. Immediately above is another soldier, a
private, who ha3 fallen close by.* In one part of tho tablet is
represented a fallen Russian, who is distinguished by his
helmet, which is lying beside him, and by his cartouche-box
with the double eagle engraved upon it.

On the freestone slab underneath the monument is the fol¬
lowing inscription :—“In memory of the officers, non-commis¬
sioned officers, and private soldiers of the 42nd Royal High¬
landers (the Black Watch), who fell iu war from the creation
of the regiment to the close of the Indian Mutiny, 1859. The
ten independent companies of tho Freacadan Dubh, or Black
Watch, were formed into a regiment on Oct. 25, 1739, and
the first muster took place in May, 1740, in a field between
Tayhridge and Aberfeldy.

Here, ’inong the hills that nursed each hardy Gael,

Our votive marble tells the soldier's tale;

Art’s magic powers each perished friend recalls,

And heroes haunt these old cathedral wails.

Erected by the officers of the corps, 1872.” There is also a
record of the principal engagements in which the 42nd took
part:—“ Fontenoy, Flanders, Ticonderoga, Martinique,
Guadaloupe, Havannah, Egypt, Corunna, Fuente3 D’Onor,
Pyrenees, Nivelle,Nive, Orthes, Toulouse, Peninsula, Waterloo,
Alma, Sebastopol, Lucknow.”

THE LATE CAPTAIN THOMPSON.

Among the officers of our Army whose lives have l>eeu sacri¬
ficed to the public service in the late war on the Gold Coast
the name of Captain Herbert W. Thompson will claim remem¬
brance. This gentleman lately held a commission in the 2nd
Dragoon Guards (Queen’s Bays), the date of his captaincy being

July, 1867. He volunteered for service in the Ashantee War,
and received the appointment of Inspector-General of the
Armed Native Police, who were actively employed in the early
operations of the campaign. Tho duties aud labours cast on
him by this official responsibility, and greatly increased by tho
zeal with which he devoted bis whole energy to their per¬
formance, had an exhausting effect upon his bodily strength ;
and he finally succumbed to the diseases of tho pestilential
climate of W r est Africa. We present a portrait of this lamented
officer, from a photograph by Messrs. Elliott and Fry, of
Baker-street.

THE LATE SIN SYDNEY COTTON.

The death of Lieutenant-General Sir Sydney Cotton, G.U.B.,
the late Governor cf Chelsea Hospital, was noticed by us a
month ago, but we have been compelled to defer publishing his
engraved Portrait. He was ono of the be9t officers that tho
British Government of India ever had in its service, though
some conventional point of precedence did not admit of his
becoming a Commander-in-Chief. He was a son of Mr.
Henry Calvcly Cotton, by Matilda, daughter of Mr. John
Lockwood, of Ashstcad, Surrey, and was born in 1792. Ho
was cousin of the late Field-Marshal Viscount Comber more,
and also of Sir Willoughby Cotton. In 1810 ho entered the
Army as a Cornet in the 22nd Light Dragoons, and proceeded
to India. In 1842*and 1843, having succeeded to the command
of the 28th Regiment, he took part in the operations in Soinde,
under General Sir Charles Napier. On two separate occasions Sir
Sydney Cottoncommandedsuccessfully expeditions of four or five
thou.:and men against the warlike tribes in the lulls beyond the
Pesbawur border, and against a Hindusfcaneo colony of fanatics
who had taken up a position in those hills for the purpose
of disturbing the British frontier. He also commanded tho
22nd Regiment in an expedition, in 1854, against the Alice tees,
in the Bori country. The 22nd being ordered home, Colonel
Cotton exchanged into tho lOfch Regiment, and, at the end of
1855, was transferred to Peshawar with the rauk of first-class
Brigadier. In 1857, when the Indian mutiny broke out, li3 was
the senior military officer at the important frontier station of
Pesbawur. The crisis was very serious ; the armed population
of the hills in front and on fiaiik woro known to be hostile and
ready for any mischief, and the native garrison of Peshawar
was ripe for revolt. The position was one of extreme peril,
difficulty, and responsibility ; but, after weighing all the cir¬
cumstances, Brigadier Cotton resolved on disarming the sepoys,
notwithstanding that the commanding olliccra of some o: ciio
regiments expressed the conviction that their corps were loyal.
On the morning of May 22 the sepoys, having been orders 1 to
pile arms as if for some drill purpose, were marched away from
their firelocks, and the European troops —previously con¬
cealed—rushed forth, seized the arms, and conveyed tlmui to
the arsenal, the 4000 sepoys being utterly powerless. Sub¬
sequently it became known that that very day lia l
been determined upon for a general rising of the native
troops of Pesbawur. In September, 1857, Lord Lawrence, who
at that time was Governor of the Punjaub, wrote to Sir
Sydney Cotton — “In the number of good men round me in
the Punjaub I have been most fortunate. Whatever ere lit is
duo to the Punjaub administration should be fairly shared
among us all. No officer lias had a more difficult part to play,
or played it more ably, than yourself; ” aud again, in May,
1858—“No oliicer in India deserves better ot his country
during tho late crisis than yourself.” Referring to this period.
Lord Canning, the Viceroy of India, in a letter dated November,
I860, expresses himself as follows -.—“There is no doubt that
the interests of the State were best consulted by keeping that
frontier in your hands, for it would have been much less secure
in the charge of any other divisional commander in India ; and
if any outbreak upon it or inroad across it had occurred, and
had not been met promptly, and with a knowledge of all
local difficulties, or of the way to overcome them (which no
officer possessed in any degree to compare with yourself),
neither you nor I should now be in India, according to all human
probabilities.” In 1858 Sir Sydney Cotton was elevated to the
rank of Major-General, crcateda K.C.B., and received the thanks
of the Government of India. Her Majesty subsequently was
pleased to award to him the annuity granted “for distin¬
guished and meritorious services.” In 1862 Sir Sydney
returned to England, after an almost uninterrupted service in
India of upwards of fifty years. In 1S63 he was appointed
Colonel ot the lObli Regiment, and during 1865 and 1866 com¬
manded tho Northern district. In 1866 he became Lieutenant-
General, and in 1809 he was nominated Honorary Colonel of
the Cheshire Artillery Volunteers. In 1S72, on the death of
his old brother officer in the 22nd, Sir John Pen tie father, he
was appointed Governor of Chelsea Hospital, having previously
been promoted to G.C.B. Sir Sydney Cotton was married, iu
1820, to Marianne, daughter of Captain Jlacketfc, of the 22nd
Light Dragoons, by whom he leaves a son, Lieut.-Colonel Lynch
Stapleton Cotton. A volume published by Sir Sydney Cotton
in 1868, entitled “ Nine Years on the North-West Frontier of
India” (Bentley, New Burlington-stseet), is Btill worthy of
perusal, as a contribution to tho history of the British Indian
Empire during a period before and after the rebellion of 1857.
It does not spare the exposure of serious faults in our Indian
administration of that time.

The Portrait of Sir Sydney Cotton is from a photograph by
Mr. Debenliam, of Regent-street.

“EVANGELINE.”

Homeward serenely she walked, with God's benediction upon her.

In this beautiful English hexameter line, which byitaelf makes
a perfect little poem, 1/ongfellow speaks of his Acadian peasant
maiden, at Grand Pr£, on the shores of the Basin of Minas,
going to her father’s house, the fanner Benedict Belief on taine,
after her attendance on confession in the Catholic parish
church. Mr. Luxmore, in his picture now among those ex¬
hibited at the Dudley Gallery, has rendered the figure aud
character of Evangeline with much of that grace which conies
of ar true conception of a high ideal of humanity, more especially
of virtuous womanhood, such as tho poet designed in the
heroine of this pathetic American story. We are expressly
told that Evangeline had black eyes and dark brown hair, as
was not unlikely in a (laughter of the French colonists, or
else we might rather have fancied her a fair-comp!exio:ie:l
girl; but the artist has here followed his author with fidelity,
m spite of tho double meaning of the word “fail-.” Au 1 so
we may still see the constant Evangeline, as she was to be seen
a hundred and sixty years in the Nova Scotian village, in t io;se
peaceful days when still

Down the'Jonjr street she passed with her chaplet of beads and her mmar
Wearing fier >.onnnn cap, and her kirtle of blue, and tho earring.*} *
Brought in the olden time from France, and since as an lieu-loom
Hanucd down from mother to child throughout long generations/

But a celestial brightness, a more ethereal beauty,

Shone on her face and encircled her form, when, after confession
Homeward serenely she walked, with God's benediction upon her •

When she had passed it seemed like the ceasing of exquisite music.

THE ASHANTEE WAR.

r i 1 c List! ry of the late campaign on the Gold Coast against
King Coffee Cnlcallce and the Ashantees is now concluded.
We 1 a vo the pleasant duty of reporting the appropriate ox -
nr* mono of public approval bestowed upon our brave soldiers
end xailors returned to England. An account ia given in
another page, to accompany the Illustrations, of the welcome
accoi ded to the 42nd Highlanders on their arrival at Ports-
is:* uth by the townspeople there, and by their comrades of the
military service. The 23rd Welsh Fusiliers, the Ride Brigade,
the Marines ; the detachment of Artillery, Engineers, and
Aiiry Service! Corps have likewise met with a cordial recep¬
tion.* The sailors of the Naval Brigade, who fought as well on
lai d r.s on sea, are equally deserving of honour ; nor should the
West India r.cgro regiments and their English officers be for¬
gotten, though"we shall not have an opportunity of seeing
than here. " Those portions of the forces lately employed in
the Ashentee War that conld not be represented at the inspec¬
tion of the troopB by her Majesty in Windsor Park on Monday
Inst are to be considered as equally sharing in the favour of
their Queen and country.

It is with regret we observe, too, that several of the able
and enterprising officers who] undertook special services con¬
nected wifcn the expedition have been prevented this week b>
illrcLS or accident from coming with Sir Garnet Wolseley :i ■;
his rtaff to receive in person from lier Majesty the assure • •
her gracious esteem. Among these gentlemen is May * Will j. .

It is a most encouraging sign for the public
..... And an agreeable trait of character m one so fortunate,
l ,1- so prudent and skilful, as the General commanding this
. .<-1: an tee expedition, that the services of Captain Butler shoul d
have been thus frankly acknowledged. We have been the
more inclined to dwell iqion the case of this officer, because the
hone-staying and reading English public is indebted to him, a3
elsewhere noticed, for two delightful books, ** The Great Lone
Land ” and u The Wild North Laud,” which, wc hope, will
not lo his last narratives of adventurous travel. Captains
Butler and D&Lrymple were invited to the Queen’s dinner party
at Windsor Castle on Tuesday, but were too ill to attend.

Another highly meritorious officer whoso fame suddenly
emerged, just alter tho fall of Coomassio, from the shade or
passing cloud that had seemed to obscure thepractical success
of Lis performances in this war, is Captain J. It. Glover, Il.N.,
Administrator of Lagos. Wo now understand, as we could not
understand a few weeks ago, the complicated position of affairs
which he had to dcrl with in his diplomatic and military com¬
mission among the native tribes on the banks of the Volta. It
is ve;y probable that the ultimate consequences of hU action,
rrd that of Captain Goldsworthy, may prove a great perma-
ueit! advantage to British African policy and commerce, by
opening up the navigation of that great river, which is an
ol>je.ofc quite as important as chastising the Ashantees ; and wc
tiust that our Government will keep it in view. At the same
time, Sir Garijct Wolseley, w hen he learnt, on his return march
from Coomassio. by the arrival of Captain Sai torius in his camp,
where Glover’s force then actually w.os, what it had been
enabled to achieve, and of what further service it was imme¬
diately capable, bore testimony to the valuable aid Captain
<-lrAcr had afforded him. There had been a time, we suspect,
when they did not exactly understand c vffi other*3 pur¬
poses ; but Captain Glover, on receiving Sir Garnet’s
orders while at the Coast, at once did his duty, with¬
out remonstrance or hesitation. This example of prompt
obedience to superior ofiicial authority—this frank, unselfish,
ungrudging surrender of his own plans, for which he had made
hiiqstdf personally responsible, and of his own pretensions as
an experienced agent of the Colonial Office—is highly creditable
to a naval or to a military man. The details of Captain
Glover’s expedition, though 'partly stated in the despatches
lately published, have not yet been fully studied. They will
doubtless obtain more attention at a future time. Captain
Glover is on Ida way home, and he will be received at Liverpool
with a deserved welcome. Among the officers who accompanied
ci followed him in his difficult march through the East Akim
country to that of the Ashantees we should remember the
i&mcs of Dr. Rowe, Colonial Staff surgeon, and Lieutenant
G. 31. Moore, of H.M.S. Druid. It was tho last-mentioned
officer, with Mr. R. Banncrman, of Accra, that brought up quite
r.n anny of Aquapims and Krobos, on tho very day Sir Garnet
Wolseley burnt Coomassie, to join Captain Glover’s band of
BciiEsns in the Ashantee city of Dwabin, one day’s march from
King Coffee’s metropolis and from tho homeward route of our
troops. If any misfortune had delayed Sir Garnet's movements
in the second week of February the General would have been
glad enough of Captain Glover - ready help.

’I lie large Engraving, from the sketch drawn at the time by
Mr. Melton Prior, our Special Artist with the expedition, shows
the entry of Sir Garnet Wolseley and his staff into Coomassie,
on the evening of Eeb. 4. They had in the morning fought the
battle of Ordah-BU, at which King Coffee was present, and had,
in the afternoon, made a toilsome march, crossing the deep
swamps that surround the Ashantee capital, to roach Coomassio
by rightful!. Only the General and two of the officers who
accompany him are seen to be riding on mules ; in that country
no horses were to bo procured. Our soldiers and sailors had
brought in a large quantity of the muskets thrown away or
yielded by the enemy, and we see them destroying these
weapons by nnaphing them on the ground in the streets of tho
cHy, which was a very good way to let the Ashantees know,
hy Vcalar demonstration, the failure of their vaunted arms.
The fpwnepcople w ere, of course, obliged to give up what arras
they had, but were not otherwise molested during our brief

THE SIEGE OE BILBAO.

Hie Carlist civil W 4 r in the northern provinces of Spain has,
during this week and last week, been raging more fiercely in
the neighbourhood of Bilbao and the Somorrostro district, north¬
west of that town, extending towards the sea. The army of
Don Carlos, under a veteran soldier, General Elio, who has
great influence among the people of the Basque provinces, is
entrenched in a strong position on Monte Abanto, and is en¬
gaged in the siege of Bilbao. A new attempt to raise the siege,
former attempts having failed, is now made by Marshal Serrano,
the military Dictator of tho Spanish Republic, with an army of
30,000 men and forty guns. There was severe fighting on three
days of last week, from the 25th to the 27th ult., but the
Carlist b still held the lines of Somorrostro, and persisted in the
siege. The town of Bilbao has been cruelly bombarded by
their artillery. This town, a scene in which forms one of our
Illustrations, is the capital of Biscay. It lia 3 a population of
15,000 or 20 , 000 , with some shipping trade. It ia situated on
the river Nervi on, or Ibaizebel, six miles from the sea; but
the channel up the winding river is so embarrassing to masters
of ships that it is said to have given rise to the old English pro¬
verbial phrase, “in the Bilboes,” for an awkward position of
constraint. Bilbao has often suffered the havoc and alarms of
war. In 1S35 it was besieged by Zumalacarreguy, on behalf
of the old Don Carlos, during sixty days, wheu its dofence
was assisted, with eventual success, by some English sailors
under Captains Ebsworth, Lapidge, Henry, and Lord John
Hay. It was a thankless and profitless service, like aU that
England has done for Spain, whose factions, Royalist or Repub¬
lican, must now be left to fight their own battles.

FOREIGN AND COLONIAL NEWS.
FRANCE.

(From our Correspondent in Paris.)

Thursday, April 2.

The elections of Sunday Last in the departments of the Gironde
and the Haute Marne have resulted, a3 anticipated, in Repub¬
lican triumphs. The Bonaparfciats have suffered a severe
defeat in the former department, where they seemed to consider
themselves certain of success. General Bertrand, their can¬
didate, v. ho came forward not merely as an advocate of free
trade, but boldly announced himself as a partisan of the Empire
and of the‘*appel au pcuple,” only succeeded in obtaining
about 47,000 votes; while M. Roudier, the Republican nominee,
polled over 73 , 0 UO. In the Haute Marne, which I 133 of lato
parsed for a stronghold of Orleauism—the Prince do Joinville
being one of it3 representatives in the Assembly—the victory
of M. Danelle-Bernardiu, a supporter of M. Thiers, is extremely
significant. At the general elections of 1871 the Monarchical
candidates polled some 45,000 vote3 in tho Haute Marne,
ngsirst 17,<u t' given to those who came forward as Repub¬
licans. Now, however, the result ia very different, M.
Bemardin defeating the Monarchical nominee by a majority of
more than 11 ,{#00.

The National Assembly lias adjourned until May 12, having
previously voted a succession of bills after little or no dis¬
cussion. The most important was the Government measure
postponing the elections for the municipal councils, which met
with much opposition, but was eventually passed by 334 votes
to 115—nearly half the Chamber abstaining from taking part
in the vote. M. Thiers addressed the Assembly for tho first
time since lu3 overthrow during the debate on the new forti¬
fications of Paris, when he remarked tliat he had not troubled
the Chamber since his resignation, adding that ho had uo in¬
tention of speaking on political subjects. The defences of
Paris, however, were finked, so to say, with the safety
of the country, and it was that which led him to
mount tho tribune. The ex-Prcsident then proceeded
to criticise the scheme brought forward by the Army
Committee, which, lie said, would entail excessive expenditure,
and would make the capital the one great intrenched camp of
the countiy, besides necessitating a most formidable army for
its. defence. His own system consisted in fortifying certain
heights in tho vicinity of the present fortifications, in order to
protect Paris against a bombardment. He concluded a mo3t
forcible speech by asking for au adjournment for six weeks to
allow of tho Government scheme being carefully examined, and
quitted the tribune amid the loud plaudits of the Left. General
(Jhabaud-Latour replied, and, after a short debate, the Army
Committee Bill was eventually agreed to by a majority of 19G.

The same day’s sitting was enlivened by a stirring and un¬
looked-for incident. Following up the attacks recently made
by Legitimist deputies against the Septennat, i\L Daliirel—a
stanch supporter of Henri V.—presented a bill enacting that
cn June 1, 1874, the Assembly should decide by a public vote
between the Monarchy and the Republic. The announcement
of this motion occasioned great tumult, which increased when
M. do Kerdrcl rose, and, while proclaiming himself as good a
Royalht as Al. Dahirel, protested that not a single hour could
be fiubti acted from Marshal MacMahon’s seven-years’ lease of
power, unless—and this afterthought drew forth an explosion
of laughter from the Left—the Alarahal himself chose to resign.
M. do Kerdrel demanded urgency for his proposition, which
wr.s opposed by the Due de Broglie, who remarked that no one
bad the right to interpret the intentions of the Marshal, who
was bound by his own words alone. The proposition was
eventually negatived by 330 nocs to 25G ayes.

The last acts of the Assembly before adjourning were to
confirm the Dues d Alen^on and de Penthievre in their military
and naval ranks, and to authorise the Government to remov •
the sequestration placed upon certain landed property belonria r
to the late Emperor Napoleon, a a

M. Hugvlmann, a Bonapartiat journalist and police apj f

SPAIN.

We are w ithout any precise information as to/tlie fightin-rat
Somorrostro. As usual, both sides claim the victory ; but *on
a comparison of the telegrams from different sources, wo inc’irie
to the belief that the Republicans have the best o ; it. T iey
have carried some strong redoubts of the Carlists ; but, on the
other hand, the main position of the latter is intact, and the
siege of Bilbao has not been raised. Such, at least, wn the
state of things when w*e went to press on Wednesday with our
early edition.

ITALY.

After the transaction of various business, the Parliament
adjourned last Saturday until April 14.

taking an expedition against tho Turcoman tribes; but, should
the latter attack or plunder, the Russian Government would bo

NATIONAL SPORTS.

O X F OHO \ Eli H V 8 C A MBBIDO £.

There can be no question that the spectators at the Inter-Uni¬
versity boat-races last Saturday, were fewer by many thousands
than on the last three or four occasions. The towing-path was
never inconveniently crowded, and the return passage over Ham¬
mersmith Bridge, so dreaded by the weaker sex, was accom¬
plished with case. This apparent diminution of interest wag
partly owing to the fact that eleven o'clock in the morning is
the most inconvenient hour possible for business men, and
partly that the race was regarded aa a certainty for Cambridge.
The Oxford boat was the first to appear, but Cambridge was
not long behind, and at fourteen infinites past eleven they were
ready ior the start. The reaction ia favour of Oxford, which
had been eo maiked during the -week, had quite sub¬
sided, and frequent offers of 3 to 1 on Cambridge met
with no response. in the first half-dozen strokes
the l'ght blue cars showed tlightly in advance, Rhodes
setting^a stroke of 38 to the minute, while Way was pull¬
ing 33 ; both, however, soon settled down to 35, and opposite
Graven Cottage Cambridge had drawn clear. Way then
quickened a little, and, on shooting Hammersmith Bridge—
reached in 8 min. 27 see. — was only half a length behind. As
they passed the Doves, Oxford shot to th e front, and a despe¬
rate straggle commenced. The rough water in Chiswick Eyot
suited the Oxford boat to perfection, and it held a lead of hal
a length until, passing tho Bathing Creek, where Rhodes
quickened up to 37, and in a very few strokes was a length in
front. The race was then really over, as Cambridge led
through Larues Bridge by nvo lengths ; and, though Way
made another desperate effort, his crew w T ere all to pieces, and
suffered a three*lengths’ defeat, in 22min. 33see.—the slow
time being fully accounted for by a strong wind and sluggish
tide. After tho long catalogue of misfortunes, which cul
ruinated in the loss ot tho tosy, it was almost impossible that
I'xfcrd could win, and the crew deserve the greatest credit fo:
the gcod light they made up to tho point when their want o
condition told its inevitable tale. Too much praise cannot be
given to Way, who, though far the lightest nun in the boat,
■Worked like a giant ; while Rhodes, the rival stroke, showed
rare patience and judgment throughout the race. We append
the names of both crews, with the weights taken when they
last scaled : —

The Sports took place, au usual, at Lillie-bridge on the
clay preceding the boat-race, and, after a lino struggle,
Ox fold just won, by scoring five events against four. The
running was scarcely up to the usual average of University
men ; but both the high and broad jump and tlirowing the
ban mer produced splendid performances, as M. J. Brooks
(Oxford) jumped 5 ft. 10 in. ; E. J. Davies, who hag for some
time been quite unrivalled as a broad jumper, exceeded all his
previous cherts by clearing 22 ft. 10a in.and G. H. Hales
threw the hammer 126 ft. 0 in., which Is fully a yard more than
any amat tur has previously accomplished. The one hundred yards
produced the unusual spectacle of three men running a dead
heat. In the ran off’ M. G. Glaze brook (Oxford) got the beat
of the start, and at half distance led by lully two yards ; but
E. J. Davies (Cambridge) gradually crept up, and won by a
foot. The quaiter mfie was an easy win for G. A. Templor
(Cambridge) iu 51 4-5 sec. ; and E. A. Sandford (Oxford) had all
his own way iu the mile. "When oight events had been con¬
tested, each side had won four, eo victory was solely dependent
on the result of the three miles. Oxford was fortunate iu possess¬
ing an unusually good man in W. R. H. .Stevenson, who won very
easily. The Lurie w as not particularly fast; but he runs in
capital form, and appears to be a thorough stayer.

The doulk-hanucd billiard-match took place at St. James’s
Hall on the night of the boat-race, unit the single game
came off at the same place ou Monday evening last. ti. A
Wanklyn (Christ Church) and J. M. Morris Stirling) Uni¬
versity) played for Oxford, against C. E. Joliffe (Trinity)
and J. Ct. Gaiter. (St. John's). Tho play u T as exceedingly
poor in the double gome, which may be imagined front
the fact that scoring 500 points took ihu Oxford men, who
eventually won Ly 6U, no less than 3 hours 25 min. Wanklyn
and Joliffe, the winners ot the Cues at their respective
Universities, met in the single match, w-hen Wanklyn showed
much improved form. Certainly his best break was only 42 ;
but lie made seme capital winning hazards, and won by no less
than 230 points, in 1 In 55 min. Joliffe occasionally played
some pretty cannons, but Jie was quite over-matched, and fre¬
quently missed the simplest strokes.

On Monday a football-match was played at Kennington
Oval, under Association Rules. The boisterous weather pre¬
vented very accurate lacking; and, after a good struggle,
Oxford obtained tho only goal of the afternoon, and won.

The double-handed racket* match was played on Tuesday
afternoon at one of the courts belonging to Rnnce’s Club. The
players were E. G. Milne and T. 8, Rearson for Oxford ; while
E. J. Sanders and J. jw. Batten wore light blue. Oxford almost
invariably wins the racket-matches, and this year proved no
exception to the rule, ns Mrlne and his partner secured the
first, second, fifth, and sixth games, and thus won the match
by four gomes to two. On the following day Milne beat
Banders pretty easily in the single match by winning the first,
second, and fourth games. Milne's volleys were splendid, and
banders showed great- judgment in placing the balls ; but
neither man served particularly well ; indeed, Pearson is far the
Lett of tho four at this very important branch of the game.

An account of tho clicaa-match appears in another column.

Tire hostility between the authorities at Lincoln and Liverpool
is much to he regretted, as not only does it injure the sport at
both places, but those who have assisted at the Lincoln Handicap
lose the tirst day at Liverpool, and only witness the Grand
National by a forced march. It might surely he arranged either
that Lincoln should begin on the Monday, or that the Grand
National should not be run until the Friday. Twenty-two
came to the post for that race; and though it was not quite
such a chapter of accidents as the Royal Steeplechase at Bristol,
last week, still thde were a considerable number of casualties.
At the very first fuice Last of the Lambs (10 st.) and Congress
(Ll st. 41b.) fell, and at the second jump Paladin (10st. 31b.),
L<rd Cclney (10 st.), and Vintner (10st. 31b.) also came to
gr:ef. The last mentioned wa3 third favourite, and, from his
admirable fencing through tho heavy ground at Bristol, he was
ccisfdcrcd ccitain to get over the country iu safety: Mr.
Ci aw el: aw, who rede him, unfortunately had a very heavy fall,
and sj limit red his collar-bone. On jumping into the course for
the first time Euretas (list. 81b.) lay well in front, and

Captain Machcll's three were about last. Shortly after thU,
FantAme (10st. 101b.) fell and threw Page, who, however,
escaped unhurt. Tho lot took closer order in the second round,
and just before rcacliing the racecourse t.'asso TV be (I let.) an l
Bretby (10 st.) both fell, the mare having broken down s-j
badly that she is not likely to run again. A little further
on Columbine (10 st. 6 lb.) also broke down, leaving Mnliu
(10st. 71b.) and Chimney Sweep (10 st. 21b.) in front, while
licugny (10 st. 121b.) had gradually drawn up into third place.
As they entered tho straight, Chimney Sweep took the lead ;
but two hurdles from home it was apparent that Keugny hid
the race in hand, and, coming away after tho lagt jump, he won
aa he liked by six lengths. Thus Captain Machell and Air. J. M.
Richardson won their second Grand National in succession,
and, by liis masterly performances on Disturbance and Reugay,
the latter has stamped himself as about the best gentleman
jockey of the day. Chimney Sweep was second and Merlin
third. Defence (11 st. 131b.) and Disturbance (12 st. 9 lb.) ran
wonderfully well under their heavy weights—indeed, the last-
mentioned could probably have been ridden into a place ; but
Eurotas, though ho went the course without a mistake, was never
dangerous. The minor events of the meeting ncodlittlo com¬
ment. Lowlander secured the two chief hurdle-races, and pro¬
mises to do great things in his new line of business and
Laburnum has taken so kindly to jumping that he may develops
into a steeplechaser of the highest orefer. There wore also two
or three very interesting fiat races, in ono of which Tangible
showed that he retains all his brilliant speed of last year. Tho
unusually large field of thirteen came out for the Liverpool
Bpring Cup, which was won rather easily by Cingalina
(0 st. 12 lb.). Wedmore (7st. 6 lb.) started a very hot favourite
at 6 to 4, and it is therefore needless to remark that lie finished
nearly last.

W u much regret to record that Lord Rossmorc died on
Saturday morning last from the effects of internal injuries whioli
he received by a fall when riding at the Windsor Military
Steeplechases on the 20fch ulfc. His Lordship wag not twenty-
tin oc years of age. By a somewhat singular coincidence, ho
broke his collar-bone in the same race and at the very same
fence about three years ago.

On Monday the University Athletes met the pick of tho
London and provincial runners at the amateur championship
Bports at Lillie-bridge, when some very interesting competitions
took place. E. J. Davies (Cambridge) and G. A. Templer
(Cambridge) lepcated their victories of the previous Friday in
the broad jump, one hundred yards, and quarter mile, J. Rotter
(London A.G.) running second to botu of them, Al. J.
Brooks (Oxford) actually exceeded Ills previous fine per¬
formance by jumping 5ft. Ilia., a height which, we
imagine, will not be surpassed for a long time. W. F. R.
Alooio, A.A.O., made the excellent “ put” of 39 ft. ll iu., beat¬
ing loth University cracks easily. The chief honours of tho
day, however, fell to W. Slade (London AC.), who won both
the one-mile and four-mile races. He ran tho longer distance
in 22 min. 50 see., a time which no amateur except J. Scott has
ever accomplished, and, as he came up the straight at a tre¬
mendous pace, and pulled up full of running, there is n > doubt
he will do much faster time, especially as the wind \va; very
high and he had never run anything like the distance in prac¬
tice. We had nearly forgotten to mention that E. Woodburn
(Ulveretpn C.C.) won tho pole-jump with a leap of
10ft. Tin., winch is tho best on record. Tire events were
pretty equally divided, as London won four, Oxford four, and
Cambridge three.

The billiard-match between S. W. Stanle3 r aud W. Timbrel!,
for £500 a side, took place at Liverpool last week. Both men are
famous at the spot streke, and some very large breaks were
anticipated ; but neither played in his bc.ifc form, and Stanley,
who never made more than 99 off the balls, was beaten by 114
points. Timbrell made one good break of 186, which included
thirty-nine and nine spots. John Roberts, jun., an ox-
cliampicn, has recently been playing excedingly well, and last
week, in a match against Cook, made the splendid break uf oJi)
points, which is second only to Cook’s famous 93C.

T he Lord Chancellor has reported to the House of L )i\Lj
that the claims of the Earl of Alayo, tile Earl of Lisburne, and
Bar on Gaivagh to vote at the election of representative p^ors
for Ireland Lave been established to his satisfaction.

A corporal in the 1st Clackmannan Rillo Volunteers wag last
week rued for 10s. before the Sheriff by his commandiug officer,
for befi?g inefficient during the past year, and thus causiug the
coijs to lose his capitation grant. The Sheriff'granted adeoroe.

Hydrophobia has visited the kennels of Earl Fitzwilliam,
and several valuable hounds in his pack have had to be

destroyed.-Several hounds belonging to a gentleman at

Billericay have been killed by poison, which ha3 somehow been
introduced into the kennel.

Bicton, the seat of Lady Rolle, near Exmouth, was on
Monday in great danger of being destroyed by fire. The
servants’ dwellings and the comervatories were burned out,
and some damage was done to the mansion. It is feared that
Eomc works ot art are lost, but tlm furniture and valuable
paintings were removed.

The weekly return of metropolitan pauperism shows that
the total number of paupers last week -was 106,480, of whom
36,534 w ere in workhouses, and 69,916 received outdoor relief.
< ‘ inpared with the correapondfiig weeks iq 1873, 1872, and
1871, these figures shown decrease of 10,169, 11,795, aud
35,981 respectively. Tho number of vagrants relieved on the
Jest day of the w eek was 654, of whom 449 were men, 162
women, and 43 children under sixteen.

The abstract accounts of the receipt and expenditure of the
Commissioners of her Majesty’s Woods and Forests for tho
yea r ended March 31, 1S73, have been issued. The income
of the Land Revenue during tho year wa3 £415,697; that of
Windsor parks and woods, £(>152; and of ijlio Royal forests
and woodlands, £34*054. The total receipts from these
sources, including a balance of £20,293 brought forward,
amounted to £479,902. The expenditure amounted to £80,44S*
and of the net revenue £375,000 was paid over to the
Exchequer as surplus, and £24,453 returned os a balance. The
rents and royaltic.3, &c/ f received during the year on account of

SKETCHES IN PARLIAMENT.

Roy Olid all doubt Lord Cairns acts the part of the Lord High
Chancellor of England occupying the woolsack, with great
effect. Bia tall, lithe figure, lus stately but yet gracious
manner, and the clearness of his voice redeem eveu the per¬
formance of the merely formal duties of President of the
Chamber from common place; and when he has to read a
message from the Throne or a Queen’s speech,^ and when he
has to make a statement like that on the Laud Irausfer cpies*
tion, his “ Lyndhurst-like ” elocution is most agreeably con¬
spicuous. Thu Upper House lias been comparatively quiescent
since the first working night of the Session, but it is notable
that the Duke of Richmond retains the Conservative leadership
in that Chamber, the appearance of Lord Derby in that cha¬
racter in the debate on the Address being merely temporary.
That noble Earl is said to be the incarnation of common sense,
nr\i\ is nothing if not practical; and doubtless he is as well aware
as all those w ho have studied his developments that ho has not
the promptitude of speech and the rapidity of perception wliich
lire necessary to a leader oven in the Lords, and so ho lias
.judiciously declined to take that position upon him, though it
was pressed on him long ago. It is to be observed that the
custom introduced by the late Government of putting forward
the younker subordinate officials, which mado the Marquis of
Liuiadowne, the Earl of Camperdown, and the Earl of Morley
frequent lcbpoudents to questions, has been at least partially
adopted by the present Ministry; for the Earl of Dnnniore,
who is only a Lord in Waiting in the Queen’s household, lias
been employed to deal with the less weighty matters which
have as ytt come before the House. The country, and
Ireland in particular, may be congratulated on the fact that
the Earl of Leitrim is in excellent preservation, and has
already begun that habit—delightful to the Lord Chancellor and
the one other peer, who are obliged to remain to keep a House—
of soliloqu Bmg upon a local or personal matter for periods vary¬
ing from three quarters to an hour and a half.

It is not to be presumed that because they are in adversity
the members ot the late Government have ceased to be objects
of inti rest, and therefore it may not be out of place to montion
that Mr. Gladstone, for tire most part, has forsaken the
House, and when ho docs come in stays but a few minutes.
The appearances of most of liis late colleagues have bcca fitful
and not prolonged, perhaps Mr. W. E. Forster being the most
constant, supported by Sir Henry Jame3 and Mr. Kaatchbull-
Hugessen. As to Sir William Vernon-Hareourt, ho has never
but once perched on the front Opposition beach. It is
to mark able, too, that the attendance of the departmental
members of the Government is very slack; they are there
if they are likely to he wanted; but mostly they ate
absent, presumably in their bureaux, being coached up in the
technicalities of their offices by the permanent officials. How¬
ever, when they have to reply to interpellations, though usually
premising that aa yet they we in the natural state of bewilder¬
ment necessarily coincident with their novitiates, they show
sufficient aptitude at response, and, above all, a terseness, a
brevity, and a clearness which contrast with the system,
which prevailed in the former Ministry, of turning answers
to question* into long speeches, beginning with the creation
of the subject roferred to, and exhausting its history even to
the very moment that they are speaking of it. The greatest
dinners in this respect were Mr. Gladstone, Mr. WV E.
Forster, and Mr. Bruce, who indulged in a copious rotundity
of speech which converted the dealing with a siinplo interro¬
gation into a small debate; Always tactical and conciliatory,
Mr. Disraeli seems more careful than ever to preserve that
manner ; and in one or two instances where lie haa had to refuse
requests he Laa so managed that the postulants seemed as
gratified as if their wishes had been complied with. In par¬
ticular, Mr. Cress, the new Home Secretary, has caught the
right tone and manner in answering awkward questions, an
instance oi w hich was to be found when he was replying to
Mr. Ander*on’b lumbering inquiry “whether an amnesty was
about to granted to the Fenian convicts now undergoing
various terms of penal servitude. In three sentences he gave
all necessary details ; and in one, decisive, emphatic, and w ith
fewest possible words in it, he signified that there was no such
intention. It was a model reply to a question on a rather
prickly rv bject. Perhaps an exception to the Ministerial facility
in dealing with interpellations is to lie found in Mr. Bourkc,
whose communications aro not more than whispers, available
only to tiie First Clerk at the table; but* it may be of no
consequence after all.

Is otwithstanding his palpable defeat a few days before, on a
question touching the Ballot Act, Sir Charles Dilke bravely
brought; on a motion for overhauling the w hole of the machinery
and woildng of the new system of voting. Certainly he main¬
tained himself like a good man struggling with difficulties ;
though of necessity aud insensibly perhaps, ho was not so
dominant and asserting as ho usually is, ana, that being so, I113
speech wn8 one of the best he has yet delivered. His case was put
with gnat luciility, and illustrated fully, even to redundancy;
anil it was somewhat amusing to see an extreme Radical
prilling to pieces a measure founded on one of the points of the
“ Charter, if anybody remembers what that was. To be sure,
he was not ^sailing the principle, but deairing to perfect its
working of the ballot; but from some of the few ironical
cheers which the Conservatives gave out, it might have been
thought that they conceived that the situation of Sir Charles
was 3n antittyuoUB one. It was something in this vein that Mr.
C. E* Lew iu treated the subject, and he contrived, even humor¬
ously, to make one of the great measures of the late Government
look very' small. Indeed, Mr. Forster, who was the author and
nurse oi the statute, was not very confident on its behalf;
while, as to the Ministry, not a word was said by any of
them, ami the discussion, which did not retain even many
lef the new members, died of inanition.

Nothing could have been more facile and uninterrupted than
the passing of certain money bills of the Government, which
| has enabled them to have in hand such funds aa will render
them utterly independent of the Legislature for two months.
r lho East India Loan Bill, after its first propounding by Lord
George Hamilton, had gone on with tlowing esse uutilifca third
reading, w hen Sir Seymour Fitzgerald intervened. It may or
may not be remembered that this gentleman was Under¬
secretary for Foreign Affairs in tlie two former Tory Governments,
and that be Jitu* held a pro-consulship in the Ea3t, having bean
Governor oi Bombay for five years. People outside, and doubt¬
less he b n.aeif, expected that ho w ould have been included in
the prison Ministry, even in the Cabinet perhaps ; but some¬
how this ha* not come to pass, and the right lion, gentlem m
has passed mim an almost viceregal throne to a very nigh back
bepch in the House of Commons, where he is not conspicuous,
and even not generally distinguishable. In all this cynical
persons n ay tind a reason for his haring been very critical, his
i ritiekniR bring sharpened by the sub-acidity of his maunor ou
the-Administration of India in regard to the Bengal famine.

In wFaV-inay be called his perkiest manner, Mr. Grant-Duff
‘repelled tile more than insinuation of mal-adroitncss, if not
something rise, on the part of the late Government; while Lord
George Hamilton retorted with a rigour aud point which were

intensified by the calmness of his voice aud manner. There
were some of the returned Indians in the House who would
fain have brought on a debate—notably Mr. Dickinson, who is
an acrid fault-finder about most things—but several of the
more judicious and weight-carrying members doprecated that
course so much that discussion was stifled.

If, us is commonly supposed, the present Session is to be
remarkable for do-nothingness, it will, at least, be notable for
there having been sittings of the Legislature on two consecutive
Saturdays in the month of March.

It has been the fate or the fortune of Mr. Disraeli, for the
second time, officially, to move a vote of thanks to the forces
engaged in a successful expedition. Evidently he has not for¬
gotten, though most people may, the stilted rhetoric wliich
marred his speech when ho w as Parliamentarily celebrating the
triumph of our arms (and legs) in Abyssinia. He may have
remembered the peculiar effect on the House of such phrases
as that “the elephants of Asia had borne the artillery of

A b% I Ull'/rltf ofo rf tofl f ll

______ George had been planted

and he took good care now to indulge in no such incongruous
rhodoinontade. His address was a sketchy narrative of the
operations in Ashantee from their very beginning to the moment
when the last British soldier left the Gold Coast; and if there
was occasionally a little floveryness in liis description of the
natural features of the country, as illustrating the difficulties
which the troops had oyercome, why, it must be taken as the
inevitable accompaniment of speeches of this kind, wkioh
Mr. Disraeli has prepared, rounded, and polished, aud delivers
with a deliberation wliich shows that he does not affect to be
impromptu. There was a subduedness, almost a touch of
melancholy, about Mr. Gladstone’s manner in seconding the
motion ; but liis eulogy w*as warm, and especially apt when he
spoke of the special characteristics of Sir Garnet Wolseiey and
the extraordinary’ coincidence between the conception and the
execution of his plans. It may have been the tone adopted by
the two leaders—the one measured and almost solemn, the
other, as has been said, subdued—wliich influenced the House ;
but it cau hardly be said that the proceedings elicited any
boisterous enthusiasm.

PARLIAMENTARY SUMMARY.

HOUSE OF LOP.DS.

Yesterday week the Attorney s and Solicitors Bill and tho
Consolidated Fund (£1,422,7117 14s. Gd.) Rill were read the
second time, and, the standing orders being suspended, the
second measure was read the third time and passed. The East
India Loan Bill was read the first time.

The House met at half-past twelve o’clock on Saturday*,
when the Royal assent was given by Commission to the Con¬
solidated Fund (£1,422,797 143. 6d.) BilL The East India Loan
Bill and the Consolidated Fund (£7,000,000) Bill were then
read the second time, and, the standing orders being sus¬
pended, were also read tho third time and passed.

On Monday the Royal assent was given 1 >y Commission to the
Consolidated Fund (£7,000,000) Bill and the Eo3t India Loan
Bill. The Royal Commissioners were the Lord Chancellor, the
Marquis of Exeter, and Lord Bkelmersdale. The House wa3
well filled. The Prince of Wales, the Duke of Edinburgh, aud
the Duke of Cambridge were early in their places ; and several
ladies occupied scats in the side galleries, A vote of thanks to
Sir Garnet Wolseiey and the forces engaged in the Asliaufcee
War was moved by the Duke of Richmond, seconded by Lord
Granville, and siqqiorted by the Duke of Cambridge. The
motion was agreed to amid loud cheers. Their Lordships
adjourned over the Easter holidays, until the 14th inst.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

Yesterday’ week Mr. Cross, in reply to Mr. Anderson, stated
that the Government does nob intend to interfere with the due
course of law* in the case of the Fenian prisoners now under
sentence of penal servitude. On tho motion for the third
reading of the East India Loan Bill, Sir Seymour Fitzgerald
criticised Lord Northbrook’s conduct with rospect to tho
famine in Bengal, He approved of recent measures, but he
thought the A ieeroy had incurred great responsibility by
refusing to prohibit the exportation of rice, aud contended that
by liis slowness to appreciate the true nature of the calamity
ho had contributed to" aggravate it. iMr. Grant-Daff said he
was quite prepared to defend tho Duke of Argyll and Lord
Northbrook at the proper time, and Air. Whitbread protested
against a premature condemnation of the Viceroy* before tho
House was in possession of the necessary information. Sir
George Ealfcur aud Mr. Laing also joined in opposing a
discussion, which could only embarrass the Government
in India. Mr. Dickinson thought the operation of the
bill ought to be limited to the duration of the famine.
Lord George Hamilton said that the bill w r as limited
to five years; and, with regard to Lord Northbrook’s
conduct, he observed that it must be judged by time and the
result, and it would be presumptuous now to anticipate a
verdict. Mr. Torrens and Mr. Denison made some observa¬
tions, and the bill was then read the third time aud passed.
On going into Committee of Supply Sir Charles Dilke called
attention to a number of minute deficiencies and defects in the
Ballot Act, and contended that a Select Committee ought to
be nominated to inquire into the subject. Ho had a motion for
a Select Committee on the paper, which, however, lie with¬
drew*, since both the Treasury aud front Opposition Benches
seemed disinclined to accept it. After some other members
had spoken, Air. Forster said that ho thought inquiry would bs
desirable, but not until the J udges had reported on the pend¬
ing election petitions. The Consolidated Fund (£7,00J,0lU)
Bill was rend the third time and passed, and the Middlesex
Sessions Bill was passed through Committee.

The Commons met on Saturday, but merely* for the purpose
of atlending the Royal Commission.

In a densely*crowded House, on Monday, the Prime Minister
proposed a vote of thanks to Sir Garnet Wolseiey and the
forces employed in the Ashantee Expedition, similar to that
mentioned in the foregoing summary of the proceedings in the
House of Lords. After describing the state of affairs on the
Gold Coast which led to tho expedition, Mr. Disraeli sketched
the progress of the operations which terminated with the capture
of C oomasfaie. He added that he w as mistaken if these were
tot fiats of anus that would not be easily forgotten by the
country. It was a vulgar error to associate military glory only
With armies of great size—that was not a just view; aud,
without wishing to exaggerate tho gallant deeds of which wo
were naturally proud, he thought ho might say of them truly
tlmt they were deeds which had thrilled the hearts of house**
holds, and which, by* the examples they offered of energy and
endurance, were calculated to sustain aud strengthen the tone
of national feeling. Mr. Gladstone, in seconding the motion,
lcfiired to a remark of Mr. Disraeli to the effect that at the time
when Sir t. aniet \\ olscley quitted England thcnlan of tho Govern-
n ent wss to preseente hostilities by means of native levies, and

time. It would be strictly correct, however, to say thy !

Wolseiey had reached the Gold Coast, tho amount of inf ( > r ^ n
tion which they possessed, and which w*as to form the basis\
any determination they might arrive at, was deplorably scant
There w ere very few examples of cases in which the plan of*

MUSIC.

ROYAL ITALIAN OrERA.

Our record libs week begins with a notice of Mr. Gye’s estab¬
lishment, the new season of which opened on Tuesday evening,
according to long previous announcement. Of the prospectus
of arrangements and engagements we gave a summary three
weeks ago. . „

The opera chosen for the opening night wa3 La Traviata,'
and the occasion brought forward a new prima donna, whose
name had not been included iu the programme. Mdlle.
Heilbron comes, with good prestige, from the Theatre It alien,
Paris, and her performance on Tuesday, a3 Violetta, fully cou-
fiiuicd the previous favourable reports. Her voice ia a brilliant
soprano, of high range (reaching to D Hat in alt). Jblie exe¬
cutes florid passages with facility, and can also declaim with
eaniestneps and pathos. All these qualities were successfully
displayed in the scena “ Ah 1 fors' e lui,” which closes the first
act. The admirable delivery of this important piece called
forth such continued applause as to’necessitate the reappearance
of tbo singer after the fall of the curtain. The success thu3
established was maintained by tbe genuine feeling evinced by
Mdlle. Heilbron iu the duet with the elder Garment; in the
scenes with her lover, Alfredo; and, indeed, up to the clo3e
of the opera. There can be bttle doubt that tho
performances of Mdlle. Heilbron will prove attractive
during her limited stay here. Tuesday’s cast of “ Li
Traviata” was tlio same—irrespective of the heroiue—as
that of Inti season, including Signor Nicolini as Alfredo aud
Signor Cotogni as the elder Germont. Signor Viane3i was the
conductor o i the evening, at the commencement of which the
National Anthem was given by band and chorus.

The interior of the theatre has been thoroughly restored to
its orignal freshness and beauty.

On Thursday “ Crispino e la Coma re ” was announced, with
the first appearance here of Mdlle. Marimon (formerly of Her
Majesty’s Opera) ; and for to-night (Saturday) “ La Traviata,”
witli the second appearance of Mdlle. Heilbron.

Tim; majesty's OPERA.

“Lucia di Lammermoor” was given here on Thursday
week, with Mdlle. Alwina Valleria as Lucia, and the new
baritone, Signor Galassi, as Aston. The lady, who was one of
the debutantes of last season, has gained in vocal and dramatic
power, and accordingly produced a still more favourable
impression on her reappearance; Signor Galassi having con¬
firmed the good opinions formed of him on his first appearance
in the previous week. Signor Naudin was the Edgardo, and
the subordinate characters wore filled by Mdlle. Bauermeister
and Signori Rinaldini, Oampobello, and Oasaboni.

On Saturday “ Fidclio” was the opera, with the well-known
performance of Mdlle. Titiens as the heroine — ono of the finest
of her many fine impersonations. The occasion brought forward
another of the new singers promised in Mr. Maploson’s pro-
epcotuB—Herr Conrad Behrens, a genuine basso, whose resonant
voice, earnest style, and capital acting were successfully dis¬
played as Rocco, especially in the dungeon scene. Mr.
M&plesoii may be congratulated oil the acquisition of an artist
who promises to bo a valuable addition to the company of
Her Majesty Opera. The performance of “Fidclio” now
referred to was excellent in almost all its details, and
especially so as regards the principal character—that of
Leonora, the devoted wife, who traces her husband to the
dungeons of Don Pizarro’s castle, and rescues him from
imprisonment and assassination. Often and admirably
a8 Mdlle. Titiens had previously rendered this important
port, never did. she appear to greater advantage in it
than on Saturday, when licr acting and singing were of the
highest order of dramatic and vocal art, as exemplified in the
great scena known as the “invocation to Hope,” the duet sung
with Rocco when set by him to aid in digging the grave in¬
tended for the doomed Floreetau; in the magnificent quartet—
for these characters and Don Pizarro, in which the wife discloses
herself to her husband, and opposes a pistol to tho assassin 8
dagger —in these and other instances the performance of Mdlle.
Titiens produced a thrilling effect on the large audience by
which Drury-Lniie Theatre wao filled. Signor Urio sang the
recitative and aria of FLoreatan With good effect, the cast in
other respects having been nearly the same as in previous
seasons. ^Mdlle. Bauercneisi'jr and Signor Rinaldini were again
thoroughly efficient, respectively, as Klarcellina and Jacqumo.
iSignor CatoJaui proved himself a satisfactory representative of
Don Pizarro, although suddenly called upon to replace Signor
Agnesi in tho part'; and Signor Oampobello sang well the
muric of Jl Ministro. . _>

The lcct of tho four overtures (that in E) which Beethoven
compered euecessivoly for “Fidelio” was played before the
opera, and the third end grandest of all (in C) was given be¬
tween the acts, its splendid execution having necessitated its
repetition, another encore having been that of the quartet
^can on) in the first act. Sir M. Costa conducted, as usual.

On Tuesday “Norma” was announced, with a new Oroveso

in the person of Signor Oosta, of whom we must take another
opportunity to speak. On Thursday a repeti tion of Fidclio
was announced ; and for to-night (Saturday) “ Rigolctto, with
the second appearance of Mdlle. Lodi.

Tho British Orchestral Society gave the fifth concert, and
last but one, of the second season, on Thursday week, when a
new symphony by Mr. G. A. Macfarron, composed specially
for this society, was successfully produced. Throughout the
work there is much to admire, both in subject and treatment ;
while it must be admitted that tho two principal portions, the
first allegro and the finale, are over-prolonged and occasionally
laboured. The slow movement, a serenade, contains some flow¬
ing and melodious writing, with good orchestral contrasts ; and
the “gavotte” and “musette,” which stand w place of the
usual minuet (or scherzo) aud trio, pleased so much by their
reflection of the antique character of those forms, that they had.
to be repeated. The symphony was much applauded, and the
composer called forward. The other orchestral pieces were
Mendelssohn’s overture to “ Ruy Bias,” that by Sir W. S.
Bennett entitled “Paradise and the Peri,” and Nicolai’s to
“The Merry Wives of Windsor,” the instrumental selection
having been completed by a difficult (but uninteresting) con¬
certino for the violoncello by Kuinmer, finely played by Mr.
Edward Howell; and a romance and spirited tarantella for
violin by Mr. Bcrthold Tours, admirably executed by Mr.
Carrodus, who had to repeat tlio latter movement. The
vocalists were Misses Rose Hersec and Lucy Frankloin aud
Mr. Maybrick. Mr. G. Mount conducted, as usual.

The Crystal Palace Concert of Saturday (tho twenty-second
of the present series) brought forward an overture by Herr
Carl Remecke, belonging to his operetta, entitled “An Adven¬
ture of Handel.” The piece is bright and melodious, and
includes an effective treatment of the well-known air, “The
Haimonious Blacksmith.” Mr. Oscar Beringer gave a brilliant
performance of Litollff’s “ Concerto-Symphonic ' for pianoforte
(with orchestral accompaniments), the instrumental selection,
having been completed i>y Beethoven’s overture to “Coriolau,”
and bis septet—the latter with all the stringed instruments of
the band. The vocalists were Malamo Noriny—a debutante
%\ho was favourably received—and Mr. Santley.

The sixteenth season of the Monday Popular Concerts
closed, this week, with the usual special performance for the
director’s benefit. Tho programme, a3 customary on these
occasions, wns of unusual length and variety. The instrumental
music included the co-operation of Madame Norman-Neruda
and Herr Joachim as solo violinists ; and Miss Agues Ziminer-
mann, Mr. Charles Halle, and Mr. Franklin Taylor as pianists.
Mr. Santley was the solo singer; and the vocal music com¬
prised some national parti-soegs, very effectively given, by the
Swedish ladies’ quartet, who were encored in one of their
pieces. Sir Julius Benedict conducted. These interesting and
important concerts will enter on their seventeenth season in
November.

A concert was given last week, at tli8 residence of Mr.
Lehmann, in Berkeley-8quaire, for the purpose of augmenting
the funds of the * lendelssohn Scholarship, so as to provide for
more thoroughlv carrying out the original intentions than was
found practicable with the limited capital (£1855) hitherto
available. An interesting selection of music was performed by
eminent artists, Sir Julius Benedict having officiated as con¬
ductor ; and the result will, no doubt, contribute towards tho
desired end, although leaving room for still further aid.

This week has been a busy one with sacred as well as with,
secular music. Every evening bas been devoted to concert* of
the former class at the Royal Albert Hall, where “The
Messiah ” was given on Monday, and is to be repeated to-night
(Saturday), Mendelssohn’s “Hymn of Praise” and Rossini’s
“Stabat Mater” having been announced for Tuesday, and
Bach’s “ Passion-Music ” (St. Matthew) for Wednesday, Thurs¬
day, and Friday. On Tuesday evening a special servico was
held at St. Paul’s Cathedral, Bach’s “Passion-Music” having
foimed a portion thereof, in accordance with its original pur¬
pose ; anil on Wednesday afternoon a similar service, with the
same music, took place in Westminster Abbey. On Wednesday
evening the Sacred Harmonic Society gave their forty-second
annual Passion-Week performance of “ The Messiah,” and for
yesterday (Good Friday) eacred concerts were to take place at
the Crystal Palace and at the Standard aud Queen’s theatres.

THEATRES.

A young lady, a j)upil of Mr. Ryder’s, made her appear¬
ance, aa Julia, in “The Hunchback,” on Saturday. Miss
Leighton bas decided qualifications for the stage, and us au
elocutionist does credit to Mr. Ryder’s teaching. She waa ably
assisted by Miss Bessie Edwards in the character of Helen, and
by Mr. Ryder himself in that of Master Walter.

A rovivai took place at tho Adelphi on Saturday,, under
a modified title—“The Prayer iu the Storm; or, Iho l hirst
for Gold.” Miss Genevieve Ward played the dual part of
Blanche de Valois and Unarita. Mr. James 1 ornaudez most
effectively supported the v6le of Pedro. Mr. Brittain Wright
as Guillot was as comic as he could be. Indeed, the whole was
respectably cast. The musical arrangements were good, and
the scenic effects carefully prepared, particularly those of tlio
breaking up of the sea of ice.

Mr. George Dance’s farce of “Petticoat Government has
been revived at the Vaudeville, and Mr. William Barren Uas
appeared in his father’s character of Hectic, with hi3 usual
success in such assumptions. Mr. Edmund lalconer s Eileen
Oce ” has also proved successful at the Standard, and com¬
manded admirable audiences. ‘'The Peep of Day ’ ban been
acted during the present week. The oratorio of * I lie
Messiah ” was announced for Good Friday.

The petition lodged by Mr. Evelyn Asliley against tho
return of Mr. Baillie Coclnane has been withdrawn.

The bead of the regimental Cashmere goat, the gift of her
Majesty to the 23rd Royal Welsh Fusiliers, which died on
the Gold Coast during tho war, and was brought to England in
H M.S. Tamar, has been bonded over by the officers of tho
remment to Mr. Emanuel, of The Hard, Portsea, to mount as
a regimental memento of the Asliantce W ar. J he same firm
has "had charge of the plate belonging to the 42nd Regiment
during their absence.

The revenue returns for tbe year, a3 well as for the quarter

SKETCHES ON THE GOLD
COAST.

A few remaining sketches by our Special Artist,
who accompanied the military expedition (of
Sir Garnet Wolseley from Gape Coast Castle
to Coomassie, are engraved for this week's
paper. They represent ordinary scenes in the
life of the native townspeople, tor whose pro¬
tection the British Empire has lately been
called upon to engage in this war against the
King of Ashantce. The Fantees, the chief
negro nation of the Gold Coast in the neigh¬
bourhood of the European settlements, are a
race apparently endowed neither with the
virtues and talents of the civilised man nor
those of “ the noble savage.” But we readily
believe, on the testimony of recent visitors to
their coast, that the women are much better
than those of the male sex, and ought to
4t wear the breecheB,” if there were any such
articles of dress worn among that people. I his
was observed, on Monday, uy a speaker in our
House of Lords. Those brisk dames and
damsels of Capo Coast Ca3tle, though black and
not comely, show plenty of spirit; and, while
they are not stupid or lazy in their proper
work, they will drive a recreant male to the
field, it is said, with the whip in their gentle
hands, as well as with their tongues. Their
fashions of apparel have been described and
illustrated before now in this Journal. . The
garment consists of one large piece of bright-
coloured cotton, often striped, which is folded
round the body and limbs below the waist, but
is so put on in front for a married woman as to
cover the bosom also. The hind part of the
dress is'* raised upon a sort of “ bustle,” or
cushion, fastened there by a sash or belt round
the client, and it is usual for a mother to carry
her babe upon this “ cankey.” The head¬
dress is a gay kerchief, with sometimes abunch
of feathers, grass, or flowers, put over the
woman’s hair, which 13 twisted into a variety,
of shapes, knobs, ridges, and tails, as shown in
our Illustration; the figure at the upper left-
hand corner of the Engraving shows the rough
hair before this ar tistic process. The market
at Cape Coast Castle is a lively scene when the
Fantee housewives are bargaining over their
small purchases of food ami other domestic
stores. Of these perhaps the most important
is maize or Indian com, which they have many
ways of cooking with different relishes, soup,
and stews of wiiatever flesh they can get. The
word “Fantee,” the name of their nation, i3
said to have originally signified “ eater of cab¬
bage ” or green vegetables, which is Fan-didi in
the Otyi language ; whereas the eater of grain
was called Shan-didi , or Ashantce,” in the same
common speech of their ancient progenitors.
Grain, however, of such kinds as maize,
sorghum, and Guinea grain, is cultivated by
the Fantees, in a slovenly manner; but they
produce more of yams, sweet potatoes, the
brinjal or egg-plant (solanuin esculentum), the
cassada, plantain, and banana, and other fruits
of a tropical clime. Their taste for animal
food is not at all nice, being pleased with putrid
fish, fried in rancid oil, when nothing more
dainty can be procured. In his rambles about
the town our Artist inspected the workshop of
a native jeweller, or goldsmith, of which he
made a sketch. This apartment was reached by
a dark passage and brick stairs in a ruinous
bouse, which did not seem likely to he the
abode of an expert and thriving tradesman.
The artificer was Seated at a table with an old
lamp, the flame of which lie stimulated and
directed through a blowpipe held in hi#left
hand, while he used the hammer, in his right
hand, or another tool, upon the small piece of
gold set before him. Gold ware, drawn, twisted,
and cut into fanciful filigree shapes, was laid
upon the metal plate, -with a tiny piece of pure
gold beneath, well softened by the heat, and
was soldered on, to form an ornamental pat¬
tern. The melting of gold was effected by
putting some gold-dust into a crucible, the size
of an egg-cup, which was placed in an old
saucepan with some charcoal. Through a hole
in the side of the saucepan the bellows were
applied, for an hour, by the hoy slave in at¬
tendance. Saltpetre was put into tho crucible
from time to lime, and the dirt or refuse of
the charcoal was carefully removed. Some speci¬
mens of the Cape Coast jewellery, with designs
such as those m the form of the green beetle,
are really beautiful and artistic, considering the
rude implements and processes of their manu¬
facture.

The valuable and interesting collection of
Asiatic historical and artistic curiosities formed
by Dr. G. W. Leitner, vice-principal of the
Punjaub Government College and university
at I .ahore, is now arranged in the upper gallery
of the Royal Albert Hall, as part of the Inter¬
national Exhibition of this year. It comprises
about 180 specimens of “ Orcco-Bnddhistic”
sculpture from those districts of the Indian
north-west frontier where the Macedonian
conquests and the colonies of Alexander intro¬
duced some Greek art, which wa 3 turned
to the use of the Buddhist religion ;
also twenty or thirty rare manuscripts,
some exquisitely-beautiful in text and decora¬
tion, in the Arabic, Persian, Turkish, Sanscrit,
Tibetan, Cashmere, and other languages ; a
thousand Bactrian and other coins; various
specimens of costume, furniture, and other
articles of popular use among the less known
nations of Dardistan Kafiristan, in the Hima¬
laya Valleys; and some botanical, entomolo¬
gical, and mineral collections. Upon the sub¬
jects to which these different collections be¬
long, so far as they concern his researches
in the secluded countries from which they are
obtained, Dr. Leitner has recently lectured to
several of the leading scientific societies in
London.

LAW AND POLICE.

Lord Romilly has decided the matter known
as “ Glover’s executor’s case.” His judgment
is that tho taking of shares in his own right by
Jeremiah Glover as executor of Sarah Champion
was a breach of trust under the will, and there¬
fore the estate must be held liable.

The action for breach of promise of marriage
brought in the Edinburgh Court of Session by
Miss Cooper, daughter of a retired sea captain,
against the Rev. Mr. Cullen, pariah minister of
Wigtown, closed on Tuesday in a verdict for
the lady, with damages to the extent of £250.
The sum claimed was £1000.

In the European Society case Lord Romilly
decided against the transfer of 500 shares
effected by Mr. George Edward Donnisthorpo.
With regard to the cases of Cyrus Lcgg a ad
John Hulme, his Lordship considered the
transfers fraudulent, and acceded to the appli¬
cations for placing these names on the. list of
contributories.

The action brought against Mr. Plimsoll
by Messrs. Houghton and Smith, shipowners,
for alleged libel with respect to the Satellite,
one of their ships, which was totally lost, was
beard at great length at Liverpool Assizes.
The plaintiffs produced a large amount of evi¬
dence as to the sound condition of the ship.
The Judge ruled that the report of the Royal
Commission, in which tho statements com¬
plained of occurred, was a Parliamentary
paper, and within the defendant’s right to re¬
publish. The jury, in finding for the de¬
le ndant,[expressed their regret that the plaintiffs
should nave been compelled to bring the action.

On Monday the goods of the Rev. Giles
Hester, a Nonconformist minister of Sheffield,
were seized and sold, in consequence of his
refusal to pay the school rate on the ground of
a conscientious objection to the twenfcy-iiffch
clause of the Education Act.

Judgment was given by the Lord Mayor, on.
Monday, in the cose of the Steam Stoker Com¬
pany, summoned for non-compliance with the
terms of the Companies Act in neglecting to
register. Fines were imposed amounting nearly
to £75 in all, inclusive of costs.

Having libelled a clergyman in a Leamington .
paper, which specially advocates the cause of
the Labourers’ Union, tho editor, after being
threatened with an action, offered to retract
his words and publish an apology. He was,
however, required to pay some small cost3 and
to give £50 to a local charity ; and on his
refusal the action proceeded to a verdict, which
was for £100.

The trial of Richard Head, a Chelsea trades¬
man, for having feloniously received a quantity
of Btolcn goods, was brought to a close at the
Middlesex Sessions on Tuesday, when a ver¬
dict of “Guilty” was returned and the prisoner
was sentenced to five years’ penal servitude.

Three West-End tradesmen were prosecuted
at the Marylebonc Police Court, on Tuesday,
and fined for selling adulterated butter. In
one case it was proved that the ‘ 1 butter ”
scarcely contained any of the genui re article,
but chiefly consisted of lard and palm oil. The
defendant in this instance was fined £10 and
costs, but the others escaped with smaller
penalties.

At the Mansion House, on Tuesday, Mr.
Henry Osborn O’Hagan was again brought up
before the Lord Mayor on a charge of obtain¬
ing by false pretences bills of exchange for
£30,000. The prosecutor, Mr. Wright, of
Osmaston Manor, Derby, appeared and gave
evidence of the transaction. His charge against
Mr. OHagan relates to the purchase of the
Deerham Colliery. Prisoner recommended the
property to Mr. Wright, and, having inspected
it with him, undertook to negotiate a purchase
for 2 per cent commission. ] t was ultimately
agreed to pay £90,000 for the concern, two-
thirds of which the prisoner represented to be
for the owners, Messrs. "Walker, and the other
third for mortgagees living in Carlisle. Mr.
Wright subsequently ascertained that tho real
price paid by O’Hagan was £60,000. He now
charges the i risoner with having obtained bills
of exchange for £30,000 by false pretences.
When the prosecutor had been examined the
Lord Mayor remanded the prisoner till’ next
week, and refused bail.

Morris Walsh, a convicted thief and notorious
trainer of young thieves, has been committed
by Mr. Benson, the Southwark police magis¬
trate, for trial, on the charge of having in his
possession a quantity of wax fruit and flowers,
knowing them to have been stolen. The
prisoner, while undergoing a former sentence
of penal servitude, lost one of his feet. His
wife is in custody for uttering counterfeit coin.

An inquest was held la3t week upon the
body of a man named Stych, seventy-six years
of age, who had died in Peabody-buildings,
Islington, without, as far as was known, a rela¬
tive ui the world. His habits had been very
penurious, and, on search being made, docu¬
ments worts found showing that he had pos¬
sessed between two and throe thousand pounds.

Before Sir Thomas Henry, at Bow-street, last
Saturday, an American, named Klelen, was
charged, under the extradition treaty, with
forgery on a bank in Nov Jersey. The prisoner,
who said he was sony for it, but he was tho
man the detectives had been in search of, was
committed in the usual way.

On Saturday night Mrs. Dowling, living with
her husband and young family at Kenuington,
killed her infant, aged eight weeks, by cutting
its throat. On being taken into custody she
exclaimed, “ I did it; I could not help it.”
Medical testimony tends to show that she has
been suffering from puerperal mania.

Commenting in terms of strong indignation
and disgust on the brutality of a collier named
Charles White and bia comrades. Lord Chief
Justice Coleridge sentenced White—who had
been convicted of the manslaughter of Charles
Clark, a puddler—to twenty years’ penal servi¬
tude.-Isaac Shoebridge, who was, on Satur¬

day, convicted before Baron Pollock, at Leeds,
of having wounded Ellen Malvy, with intent to
murder her, but who had an epileptic fit in the
dock, was, on Monday, brought up for
judgment. Before the Judge could finish sen¬
tencing him, however, he fell once more in a
fit, and was carried out of tho court, his Lord-
ship directing that the sentence of ten years’

penal servitude should be recorded.-

Jeremiah Buckley, a labourer, who has been
tried before Lord Chief Justice Coleridge for
wife murder, was acquitted, on Monday, on
the capital charge, but was found guilty of
manslaughter, and sentenced to penal servi¬
tude for life.-For attempting to poison her

child, aged fourteen months, by sending it
cakes in which was a quantity of strychnine,
Sarah Ann Gnowling, a domestic servant, was
sentenced, on Monday, at Norfolk Assizes,

to ten years’ penal servitude.-Thomas

Chamberlain, convicted of the murder of Mr.
Newitt, of Wood Burcot, in November last,
was, on Monday, hanged at Northampton.——
At Monmouth Jonatlian Flowers and his
mother were tried, on Tuesday, for the man¬
slaughter of the male prisoner’s wife, Maria
Flowers, who was paralytic and bed-ridden.
Evidence conclusively proved that the helpless
sufferer had been subjected to extreme cruelty,
had been stripped naked and beaten with
a birch rod, and had been kept without suf¬
ficient food. A sentence of twenty years’
penal servitude was imposed on both prisoners.

Lord John Manners has refused to reduce
the price of telegrams to sixpence.

Among the brevet promotions in Tuesday’s
Gazette is that of Lieutenant-General Lord
Napier of Magdala to he General.

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS

APRIL 4, 1874

MR. W. H. SMITH, M.P.

This gentleman, -who has during the Inst six years been one of the
two Parliamentary representatives of Westminster, and has taken
office as Secretary to the Treasury in Mr. Disraeli’s Government,
possesses the confidence of a large number of his fellow-citizens
on account of his liberality of sentiment, his moderation and
sound good sense. He is a son of the late Mr. William Henry
Smith, the founder of that great business the sale and circula¬
tion of newspapers throughout the kingdom, to which are added
the bookselling trade at nearly every railway station, and the
management of a railway circulating library, besides an exten¬
sive advertising agency. The firm is styled that of Messrs.
William Henry Smith and Son. Its well-known head-quarters
are in the large stone house, 18(5, Strand, at the corner of
Arundel-8treet; and its smart red dog carts, laden with freshly-
printed papers, are to be met swiftly traversing every quarter
of London at certain hours of the day. The subject of this
memoir was born in Dukc-street, Grosvenor-square, in 1S25.
He has long devoted a portion of his time to the public service
as a magistrate for Hertford shire, in which county he has a
residence near Abbott’s Langley ; as one of the Council of King’s
College, London ; and a member of the London School Board.
The disputed questions concerning popular education have
received his particular attention, and he might not unfitly have
been appointed Vice-President of the Committee of Council.
Mr. Smith is, of course, a Liberal Conservative, and a firm sup¬
porter of the Established Church. He contested the election
for Westminster in 1865, against the late Mr. John Stuart Mill,
but was defeated on that occasion. In December, 1S(>8, he was
returned for this constituency, which has again sent him to the
House of Commons in tha present year. His appointment in
the new Ministry is popwar' and we believe it is likely to prove
useful.

The portrait is from a photograph by Mr. Lombardi, of
Brighton.

THE FARADAY CABLE-SIIIP.

A large iron steam-sbip, named after that most eminent natural
philosopher, the late Professor Michael Faraday, was launched,
on Feb. 17, at Lower Walker, near Newcastle-on-Tyne, from
the building-yard of Messrs. C. Mitchell and Co. Our Illus¬
tration has been deferred till now for want of space. The
Faraday has been built to tho order of Messrs. Siemens
Brothers, of London, for the purpose of laying the Atlantic
cable of tho Direct United States Cable Company and other
cables. This vessel is 360 ft. long, 52 ft. beam, 3G ft. deep,
and measures 5000 tons gross register, but will carry about
6000 tons dead weight. The iron hull has been built under the
inspection of Lloyd’s agents, and obtained the highest certi¬
ficate of classification. But the ship receives enormous addi¬
tional strength from her peculiar structure. This consists
chiefly of three enormous cable-tanks, constructed of plate-
iron, and forming a scries of double arches, supporting the
sides of the vessel. These tanks are also united together, and
to the general fabric of the hull, by five iron decks. The
upper and main iron decks are supplemented by tho usual
decks of wood for the comfort and convenience of those on
board. The vessel is double-bottomed, the space between the
two bottoms being a network of iron girders for carrying the
cable-tanks, and at the same time giving longitudinal strength
to that portion of the hull. The space is further utilised for
carrying water-ballast, to trim the vessel as the cable is run
out, ana also to enable her to make a voyage across the Atlantic
without any cargo or other weight on board beyond fuel. A
very complete and well-devised system cf valves, cocks, pipes,
and auxiliary engine-power has been introduced into the vessel
for filling and emptying any singlo compartment of tho double
bottom, or for Hooding any one of the cable-tanks. The whole
system is under the control of the engineers, and is worked
from the engine-room.

In outward appearance the Faraday is unlike other ocean
steamers, her how and stern being of the same form. She is
also provided with a rudder at each end, the whole being so
arranged that the vessel may be navigated ahead or astern, as
desired, when paying out or picking up a cable. The steering
is accomplished by means of a steam-engine placed amidships ;
and, to provide against accidents, each rudder is supplied with
strong screw steering gear, worked in the usual manner by
manual power. The anchors and cable chains are worked by
Harfield’s steam windlass, and all heavy labour about the
vessel is performed by steam apparatus placed in various
positions along the deck. The Faraday is rigged in the most
approved manner of ocean steamers; and, for the accommo¬
dation of the large staff of officers, electricians, and crew,
amounting to about 150 persons, the vessel is fitted up with
the cabins and all other appliances of a large passenger-steamer,
in addition to those of a caole-ship.

The Faraday will be propelled by machinery on the com¬
pound surface condensing principle, manufactured by Messrs.
T. Clark and Co., of Newcastle. There arc two distinct sets
of engines, each working a separate screw, tho vessel being
thus provided with two propellers, usually called twin screw .
The object of this arrangement is to obtain steering or
manoeuvring power, which is a very important condition in
cable laying. Each set of engines is placed vertically over tho
shaft, and has two cylinders, one high pressuro and the other
low pressure, by which great regularity of motion is obtained ;
and, by a high degree of expansion in working tho system, an
important economy of fuel is effected. By theso means this
great vessel is enabled to carry her immense burden of cable at
an expenditure of fuel which would have seemed imx>raeticablc
a few years ago.

The deck machinery required for paying out and picking up
cables is manufactured by tho Vulcan Foundry Company.

Mr. Plimsoll, M.P., was on Saturday evening presented
with an address from various trades in Liverpool connected
u ith the shipping interest, in which the hon. gentleman received
a hearty welcome to that town.

Tho annual report of tho directors of the National Gallery
showB that the only picture purchased last year was the com¬
position in chiaroscuro known as “ The Triumph of Scipio,” by
Andrea Mantegna, which was purchased, in May last, for the
sum of £1500. The bequests have been a portrait of Jane
Elizabeth, wife of tho fifth Earl of Oxford, by John Hoppner
K, A. (1759-1810), bequeathed by her daughter. Lady Langdale*
and a river scene by Jan Looten (1659), Dutch school, be¬
queathed by the widow of Mr. Jewer Henry Jewcr. Nine
pictures which had become disfigured and obscured by cracks
have been carefully repaired and rc-varnished ; aud eight pic¬
tures have been protected with glass, making tho total number
of oil and tempura pictures so protected 313—more than a third
of the whole collection. The number of persons who visited
the galleries at Trafalgar-squaro and South Kensington on the
public days during the year 1873 was 836,104 at Trafalgar-
square, and 859,037 at South Kensington. The daily average
attendance at Trafalgar square for 1873 was 4-110, the average
for 1872 having been 1242. °

HEW METEOROLOGICAL
INSTRUMENT.

It will be interesting to our scientific readers
to have a description of a new self recording
thermometer that has just been invented by
Messrs. Negretti and Zambra, the well-known
opticians.

This instrument is totally different from
any other hitherto made, and is devised for
the purpose of recording the exact tempera¬
ture at any depth of the ocean, or for taking
observations on land at any hour during the
dav or night.

Self-registering thermometers have been
long used in deep-sea investigations, but they
only give the temperature somewhere between
the top and bottom of the ocean, and not at
any particular spot. The instrument of
which we now give an Illustration will show
the exact temperature at any spot it may bo
desired.

In shape it is like a syphon with parallel
legs, as in the annexed figure. In order to
obtain a reading, the thermometer is made to
revolve once on a centre, first bulb upper¬
most, and afterwards bulb downwards : this
causes the mercury which was in the left-
hand column to pass round the bend into the
right-hand tube, where it remains, indicating
on a graduated scale the exact temperature
at the time it was turned over. The engrav¬
ing shows the position of tho mercury after
it had been turned over. Tho contrivance for
effecting this object may be described as a
short length of wood or metal, haviDg
attached to it a small rudder or fan. This
fan is placed on a pivot in connection with a
second, and on this second pivot is fixed tho
thermometer. The fan or rudder points up¬
wards in its descent through the water, and
necessarily reverses its position in ascending.
This simple motion or half turn of the rudder
gives a whole turn to tho thermometer. This
mode of turning would be for sea purposes ;
but for atmospheric observations the ther¬
mometer is connected with a small clock or
alarum, and can be made to turn over at aDy
hour determined upon in the same manner as
an alarum is set forgoing oft' at a certain hour.
It may be said that we have, forth© first time,
an instrument which requires upsetting in
order to obtain a correct observation.

A paper W’as read at the Royal Society, by
Dr. Carpenter, on this instrument, and he
stated that it w r as perfect.

ROYAL INSTITUTION LECTURES.

FERNS, HORSETAILS, AND CLUB-MOSSES.

Professor Williamson began his fifth and concluding lecture on
Cryptogamic Vegetation, on Thursday week, with an account
of the development of the ferns. These have a rhizome or
root-stock which creeps below or upon the ground, or rises like
the trunk of a tree, sometimes to a great height. The leaves
or fronds, growing out of vascular bundles in the stem, are very
variable in size and shape, and not only perform the functions
of ordinary leaves, but also bear tho fruit or buds in clusters,
each cluster containing many sporangia, and each sporangium
inclosing numerous uniform spores. Though there is very great
diversity in tho size of plants of this order, yet there is very
little difference in the size of tho spores. In due time the
sporangium burets, and tho spores are scattered far and wide.
When the spore germinates it breaks through the outer mem¬
brane, and puts forth a tubular prolongation, which increases
until a^sinall green substanco appears, termed the prothallus,
on the under surface of which are formed tho antheridia and
tho pistillidia, from the latter of which proceeds the true fern.
When the prothallus has done its work it perishes. In relation
to the complicated structure of ferns, the Professor alluded to
tho larger species, ancient and modern. He then adverted
to tho equisetums or horse-tails, which are allied to tho
ferns, but present striking differences. They have slender,
hollow-jointed stems, each joint terminating in a toothed mem¬
braneous sheath, composed of elementary leaves. The fruit or
bud is produced in terminal cones, composed of numerous
stalked scales, each of which bears on its under surface a circle
of sporangia, closely packed with uniform spores. These spores
have a spiral covering, which, when they are ripe, breaks up
iuto four threads called elatere, bodies which arc remarkably
sensitive to moisture. When placed under the microscope and
gently breathed upon their movements were said to appear
very ludicrous. The singularly varioua provisions made in the
cryptogainia for dispersing the germs were described as truly
wonderful. Tho Jycopods or club-mosses were next considered.
They have solid stems, composed of an axis of spiral vessels,
surrounded by a thick cortical cellular layer, round which tho
leaves are arranged. The fruit is produced in terminal cones,
composed of scales, each of which bears a small sporangium
full of spores. .Some species have two kinds of spores—micro-
sporea ami macrospores—which appear in fossil specimens. In
describing in detail the structure and development of these very
interesting orders of plants, Professor Williamson referred to
numerous large diagrams and to some specimens, and, in con¬
cluding, stated that the very ancient forests of which the coal
formationi is composed almost wholly consisted of cryptogainia,
aud that the existing members of this class present a striking
example of the persistence of vegetable types from the earliest
ages of the globe to the present day.

ui.Diu.Kir OF TIT E RHINE.

Professor Ramsay, V.P.R.S., Director-General of the Ge
logical Survey of the United Kingdom, at tho Friday evenii
meeting on March 27, began his discourse by expressing tl
great interest which ho had always felt in the history of river
ami stating that he had devoted very much attention to tl
ihamea and tho Severn, and that last year he had resumed tl
exploiation and study of the Rhine. Ho then referred to
large map and diagrams, by means of which ho described 11
pu sent conrso and chief physical features of tho river Tl
origin of certain Alpine lake basins he attributed to the auciei
action of glaciers; but this idea with regard to the valley «
the Mime he immediately gave up. Such glacial action did n<
extendsofarastohllwith a great glacier tho whole plain ,
the Mime between Basel and Bingen. He then rapidly skctche.
according to the nebular hypotbesis, the gradual formation ,
mountain chains by the shrinking of tho Suths crust and il
consequent contortions, and its connection with the pre-Miocer
history or the Alps .after which he descril-ed the occasion
sub-tropical climate of itzerhuid in the Miocene age wit
faunas and Uoras corresponding to it, of which abumhult ev

deuce is furnished by fossils. Professor Ramsay then
adduced reasons for his opinion that during portions of the
Miocene epoch the drainage through the great valley between
the Schwarzwald and the Vosges ran partly from the north
into the area now occupied by the Sw'iss Miocene rocks. Then
came renewed physical disturbances of the Alps, which closed
the Miocene epoch, the rocks being raised from 1200 ft. to
5800 ft. above the level of the sea. The Jura was then raised; de¬
nudations followed ; the Mainz basin w as isolated, and a great in-
dined plain was formed, sloping north from Jura to Mainz. A
new and reversed drainage from south to north began ; so that,
after passing through the hill country between the Lake of
Constance and Basel, a river flowed along an elevated inclined
plain formed of Mioceno deposits, of which remains, in tho
form of flat-topped hills of Miocene rocks, still exist at the sides
of the valley net ween Basel and Mainz. At tho same time
the Rhine flowed in a minor valley through the upland count!y
formed of Devonian rocks, wdiich now constitute the Taunus,
tho Huntlsruck, and the high land lying towards Bonn. By
tho ordinary erosive action of the great river the gorge was
gradually formed and deepened to its iircsent level. Li pro¬
portion as the gorge deepened, the marshy, flat Miocene strata
of the area were also in great part worn away, leaving the
existing plain, which presents the deceptive appearance of
having once been the site of a great lake. Tho Professor did
not think that volcanic action had anything to do with tho
formation of the gorge of tho Rhino. The Miocene strata lay
in an approximately horizontal direction, and were not tilted
in such a manner as to suggest that their absence in tho
basin w r as due to any disturbance of tho strata.

They must have been scooped away by the action
of flowing water. In reference to the tributary rivers of the
Rhine, he said that, as the plain was lowered, tho Ncckar and
other rivers were also lowered, and a3 the gorge was depressed
the same took place with the Moselle and other streams. It is
by the study ol these changes, in this and other regions, that
the history of great Continental areas of drainage is arrived at.
In conclusion, the Professor said that the formation of the
Rhino valley, although it occupied several long acts of time,
was but a brief episode in a comparatively modem part of
geological history. Dr. Warren tie la Rue, F.R.S., vice-
president, was in the chair.

MR. wood's DISCOVERIES AT ETHESUS.

Mr. Charles T. Newton, in his thirdand concluding lecture,
on Saturday last, gave an account of Mr. Wood’s opciationsat
Ephesus, from the year 1863 to the present year. The con¬
sumption of bo much time was caused partly by the unhealthi¬
ness of the place, which, during tho summer months, is hardly
habitable, and partly through the inadequacy of the means
which, for some time, were at Mr. Wood’s disposition. liis
original purpose was the exploration of the Temple of Diana ;
but as, at first, there seemed to bo no clue whatever to the
discovery of its site, he, at Mr. Newton’s suggestion, explored
the small musical theatre (Odeum), where he found part of a
statue of Lucius Vcrus, and four letters addressed by Antoninus
Pius to the people of Ephesus. These letters form the
chronological basis of the life of the rhetor Aristides by
Mr. Waddington. Mr. Wiodthen made an excavation in the
Great Theatre, where he found, built into the proscenium, a
number of decrees of the people of Ephesus, made in the fourth
century b.c., which, as was shown in the first lecture, throw
light on the history of the city, and were, ■without doubt, wall-
stones from the cella of the second Temple of Diana, aa
appears from their context. In this theatre was also found the
long description containing the dedication by Salutarius of a
large sum of money and many statues to the goddtss. in this
inscription, as pointed out in the second lecture, the procession
on the birthday of the goddess was ordered to pass from the
temple through the Magnesian gate to tho theatre, and then
back to tho temple through the Koressian gate. Mr. Wood,
having found tw o gates w hich appeared to correspond with
the relative position of the two named in the inscription,
determined to traco the lino of road going out of tho city
from each gate, in the hope that they would converge
to a point where ho should find the temple. Outside
the Magnesian gate ho traced for somo time the piers of the
portico built by Damianus, iu the second century A.D., for the
protection of those who took part in the processions. This
portico ran parallel to a road flanked on each aide by tombs of
the Roman period. Outside tho Koressian gate was a similar
portico and road, flanked by tombs. After tracing theso roads
for some distance, their track was lost. Mr. Wood then began
sinking holes in the plain, and continued till he came upon the
angle of the wall inclosing the peribolos round the temple.
This was proved by an inscription inserted in duplicate in tha
face of the wall, which declared that the Emperor Augustus,
out of the revenues of the goddess, had placed a wall round her
temple and the Augustcum. This was doubtless done when h*
limited the extent of tho asylum. This discovery took pkw
in April, 1869. Mr. Wood then followed the lines of the peri-
bolos wall from the angle till ho lost all trace of it, at the same
time sinking pits in the ground within tho anglo. The soil here
w*aa a deep alluvial deposit, tho ancient remains being found at
a depth of 20 ft. It w r as not till April, 1870, that the true sits
of the templo was discovered. In March, 1871, the excava¬
tion was sufficiently advanced to enable Mr. Wood to guess tb?
direction in which tho temple lay, and to purchase all the
ground necessary for his excavations. By February, 1872, b«
was able to send home a large cargo of marbles in fl.M.8-
Caledonia. In the saino year a special grant of £6000 was ob¬
tained from Parliament towards the expenses, aud from this
time tho operations were carried on uninterruptedly and on s
much larger scale, till they were brought to a cIobc in
February last. . In a brief summary of tho results of Mr.
Wood s explorations, Mr. New ton show'cdthe correctness of th*
notices of the temple by ancient writers, such as the statement of
Vitruvius that the temple w r as dipteral, octastyle, and of ths
Ionic order; the much-disputed account of Pliny, that thirty*
six of its columns w r ero ornamented with reliefs, is fully con*
firmed by the discovery of various fragments of drums sculptured
in reliof. Pliny states that the entire temple measured 425 ft.
by 225 ft. width, and Mr. Wood finds that the length of the
platform on which tho templo stood is 418 ft. by 239 ft,
measured on the lowest step. This dimension sufficiently

agrees with Pliny's 425ft. for the length, if we supposed h»ui
to have used Roman feet; but the width, 239 ft., is ineconciUbk
with his dimension, and we must suppose some clerical error in
tho transcript of his text. Tho intercoluraniation Mr. Wood
makes 17 ft. lin. ; the height of tho columns, as calculated by
the diameter, he finds rather too slender, if we accept 1'iiny *
height (60 ft.). Tho architecture was coloured, and gold was
let in between the joints. Mr. Newton described some interest*
iug relics of the sculpture and architecture of the earlitr
temple, found in the course of the excavations. Tho layer of
charcoal which, by tho advice of Theodores of 8amo«, had
been laid tinder the foundations to prevent the damp ruing,
was still visible in several places under the lowest course t-f
masoi ry. As these foundations were laid about 5 S 0 B.C., the
charcoal has remained in its original position ever since. In
concluding, the attention of the audience was drawn to the

THE RETURN OF THE TROOPS.

The arrival in England of the several regiments lately employed
in the Ashanteo War, the 23rd Welsh lusiiiers, the 42nd High¬
landers, and the Rifle Brigade, with the detachments of Royal
Engineers, Royal Artillery, Royal Marine Artillery, and Royal
Marine Light Infantry, besides many sailors invalided home
from their ships on the West African station, was announced
last week. Their landing at Portsmouth was in each instance
made the occasion of hearty popular rejoicings and of con¬
gratulations offered by the municipality of that town, tho mili¬
tary garrison, and the commander and staff of the military dis¬
trict. Some account has been given of the reception of the
23rd Weleh Fusiliers when they landed, on Friday, tho 20th
ult. One of our Illustrations now engraved is that of the pre¬
sentation to this regiment, by the town of Portsmouth, of a
fine white goat, with gilt horns and much decorative ribbon, to
accompany its march on parade. This animal is to replace the
goat presented to the Royal Welsh Fusiliers by her Majesty
the Queen, which died at Capo Coast Castle. The arrival of
the 42nd Highlanders, on Monday, the 23rd, was a scene of
not less interest, and tho different incidents which attended
their welcome to England aro shown in the remaining
Illustrations.

The “ Black Watch/' as this regiment has been called since
it was originally raised at Dunkela, among tho men of Athol,
above 130 years ago, came home in tho transport-ship Sarma-
tian, from Cape Coast Castle. The regiment, which had
numbered 6S7, officers and private soldiers, when it left Ports¬
mouth on Dec. 4, now returned but 568, there being 101
invalids on their way home by other vessels. The following is
the exact strength of the 42nd that landed from the Sarmatian
on Monday week :—Lieutenant-Colonel M‘Leod, Majors Mac-
pherson and Scott; Captains Green, Farquharson, V.C., Bayly,
Whitehead, Moore, Kiastone, Creagk, and Furse ; Lieutenants
Hicks, Aitken, Coveney, Cumberland, Eden, Wauchopc, Brophy,
Harvey, Scobie, Berwick, Stevenson, Grogan, Moubray, An-
nesley, McCallum, Sub-Lieutenant Munro, Paymaster Samwell,
Surgeon-Major Clutterbuck, Surgeon Troup, Quartermaster
Forbes, nine staff sergeants, and 530 rank and file. There
were -eleven invalids, including Captain Farquharson and
Lieutenant Berwick, neither of them as yet fit for duty. It is,
however, satisfactory to know that the general health of the
regiment greatly improved on the voyage home, though four
poor fellowB, -who were sent on board pitiably weak, gradually ;
sank, and died. Besides the 42nd came Brigadier Sir
Archibald Alison, Bart. ; Captain Robinson ; Lieutenants the
Hon. A. H. Grosvenor and Fitzgerald, and one man of tho
second battalion of the Rifle Brigade ; Major Homo and Lieu¬
tenant Bell, of the Royal Engineers; Lieutenants Knox and
Palmer, of the Royal Artillery ; Captain Despard and five men
of the Royal Marines; Lieutenant Jerrard of the 6th (King’s)
Regiment; Lieutenant Grant, of the 6’fch (Royal 1st Warwick¬
shire) Regiment; Lieutenant MacGregor, of the 50th (Queen’s
Own) Regiment; Assistant Controller Irvine ; Captain Brabazon,
on special service ; and forty men, mostly of the Army Service
Corps.

The regiment landed at two o’clock; the arrangements,
both as regards the troops detailed for tho escort and the guard
of honour, and their disposal, were substantially tho same as
on the Friday before. The only difference was that the first
battalion of the 4th (King’s Own) Regiment was formed up
inside the dockyard, while the 100th (Royal Canadians) held
the Hard, outside the gates, and fell in as escort when the
42nd came through. Punctually to the moment the “assembly”
sounded, and in a few minutes the men were in their places on
tho jetty, waiting only for tho General to begin their march
home. They wore the same clothes they wore on the December
morning they left England — the Glengarry, scarlet tunic,
trousers of dark-green tartan, and white gaiters ; the officers
wore patrol jackets, and sword-belts of untanned leather, well
coloured now with hard work and hard fighting. The men were
in heavy marching order — greatcoat, canteen, and tho new
valise, which, earned in the small of the back, has superseded
the old knapsack. As a body they looked well in health.
They were saluted by the 4th Regiment as they crossed the
dockyard, whence they marched up the Hard, Ordnance-row,
and over the Gun Wharf, to Lombard-street, High-street, and
Governor’s Green. They were cheered by an enthusiastic
multitude along the whole of the route. On Governor's Green
they were received by tho Mayor and Corporation of Ports¬
mouth, and bv Lord Templetown, the Lieutenant-General
Commanding the Southern Military District of England. A
brief address, commending the regiment, was delivered by
Lord Templetown, and was replied to by Colonel M‘Leod
in a few appropriate words. The Mayor also presented, on
behalf of the borough of Portsmouth, an address of congra¬
tulation, which. Colonel M‘Leod likewise acknowledged. The
regiment then marched to the Clarence Barracks, where it was
to be quartered.

His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, Commandcr-
in-Chief, who had inspected the 23rd Welsh Fusiliers at
Shorncliffe on the Saturday, went to Portsmouth, on Tuesday
week, to inspect the 42ud Highlanders. The Duke, accom¬
panied by Sir Richard Airey, Adjutant-General, Sir Charles
Ellice, Quartermaster-General, and Colonel Willis, was met by
Lord Templetown, in whose carriage he went to Government
Houbo. The Royal standard was hoisted on the King’s Bastion
of the fortifications, and a Royal salute was fired by tho gar¬
rison and from the Admiral’s flagship. The 42nd, in tho same
dress, tunic and trews, were drawn up in double line on the
Governor’s Green. The Commander-in-Chief and Staff entered
the Green on foot, and were received with arms presented,
colours lowered, and “God Save the Queen” from the band.
His Royal Highness, after greeting Colonel M‘Leod, walked
down the ranks, and took up his position at the saluting-llagj.
The ground, which was kept by a party of men from the lOOtli
(Royal Canadian) Regiment, was but thinly attended- None
hut officers in uniform and privileged persons, mostly ladies,

were admitted within tho gates. As soon as his Royal High¬
ness was at his place tho regiment took open column of com¬
panies, and, headed by their band, before whom marched the
pipers who piped the Black Watch into Coomassie, went past to
the well-known time of “Highland Laddie,” and back again
at quarter-distance column to the quickstep of tho “Blue
Bonuets over the Border.” The men were then formed up
again in a hollow square, facing inwardB, and the Duke, step¬
ping forward into their midst, addressed them. He congratu¬
lated the Highlanders on the good work they had done, work
which the fortune of war had put into their hands instead of
their fellows. He complimented them on their appearance,
and told them that they would before long have the honour of
hearing from the lips of the Queen herself her opinion of their
allant conduct. The regiment was then marched back to
arracks and his Royal Highness returned to town.

The arrival of the Rifle Brigade, second battalion, and some
of the Royal Engineers, by the Himalaya, on Thursday week,
was another occasion for public congratulations at Portsmouth.
Those on board the Himalaya were Colonel Fc9ting, R.M.A.,
Captain R. O. Jones, and forty-five non-commissioned officers
and men of the Royal Engineers ; Lieutenant-Colonel Warren,
commanding the Rifle Brigade ; Majors .Stephens and J. C. P.
Glyn; Captains Nicholl, Sotheby, Slade, Dugdale, Somerset,
Cary, Lasceiles, and Cope; Lieutenants the Hon. T. C. Scott,
Sackville, Maberly, Hopwood, Thompson (adjutant), Harington,
Smyth, Prideaux Brune, the Hon. O. Cufle; Sub-Lieutenants
the Hon. E. Noel, the Hon. O. C. Prittie; Paymaster Harvey,
Quartermaster Stanley; Drs. Wiles and Macrobin, with
457 men of the Rifle Brigade; Surgeons O’Brien, Williamson,
Gibson, Conyers, Hughs, and Grey, Army Medical Department.
Captains the Hon. P. Methuen, Burnet, and Phayre. Lieutenants
Pollock, Hare, and Aldridge. Special service officers, Lieu¬
tenant Deane, and thirty-six privates R.M.L.I., and the Rev.
A. Wallace, whose services as additional Roman Catholic
Chaplain were volunteered and were accepted by the Govern¬
ment. Forty-eight invalids of the Rifle Brigade and two of
the Royal Engineers were landed for their health at Gibraltar.
One died on the 18th inst. of fever. The Rifle Brigade are now
in Winchester barracks.

The whole of the troops returned from the Ashantee war,
numbering about 1600, were reviewed by her Majesty the
Queen, in Windsor Great Park, on Monday last. We shall
give some illustrations next week. Her Majesty, in an open
carriage drawn by four ponies, was accompanied by the
Princess of Wales, the Duchess of Edinburgh, and Princess
Christian of Schleswig-Holstein. Another carriage contained
Princess Louise (Marchioness of Lome), Princess Beatrice, and
Prince Leopold. The lords and Ladies in waiting and Lord
Cardwell were in the train of Royal carriages. The Prince of
Wales wore his uniform as Colonel of the Rifle Brigade, and
Prince Arthur that of a Captain in the same regiment; the
Duke of Edinburgh wore an artillery uniform. The Duke
of Cambridge, as Field-Marshal Coramauding-in-Chief, was
attended by his staff; tho Duke of Teck, the Grand Duke of
Mecklenburg, Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar, and others of
the Court were present. The military escort was composed of
the 2nd Life Guards. As the Queeu drove slowly in front and
in rear of the long line the band of each regiment played a
march, the men coining to the shoulder as the Queen passed.
When the Queen had inspected the troops a hollow square was
formed. The Queen and her escort took up their positions in
the centre of the square. The troops were addressed on her
Majesty's behalf by the Commander-in-Chief. He said he had
it in command from the Queen to congratulate the force upon
their safe return to England, and to thank them for the
bravery which they had displayed. Then came the dis¬
tribution of the awards “ for honour.” To Sir Garnet
Wolseley her Majesty presented the insignia of the Order
of St. Michael and St. George and of a K.C.B. The Queen
was pleased to address Sir Garnet in terms of congratulation
and compliment. Lord Gifford was then called to the front,
and received the Victoria Cross. With her own hands the
Queen fastened this most honourable distinction to the breast
of the young Lieutenant, who was warmly congratulated by
his brother officers. The Victoria Cross was to have been also
bestowed upon Sergeant M‘Gaw, of the 42nd Highlanders,
who was not well enough to be present.

The troops then marched past, Sir Garnet Wolseley riding
at the head of the column and Sir Archibald Alison in rear of
the General. The Fusiliers and the “ Black Watch ” went by
with the precision of garrison troops. The Rifle Brigade were
os steady, and perfectly dressed. Nor were the Artillery and
Engineers out of form. In the rear of column were the men
of the Army Service Corps and the Hospital Corps ; the three
chaplains (Protestant, Roman Catholic, and Presbyterian) were
present amongst the staff. After this ceremony the Royal
party returned to the flagstaff and awaited the Royal and
general salute. The bands played the National Anthem, the
colours were drooped, the troops presented arms, and the
officers lowered their swords. Sir Garnet Wolseley called
for three cheers for the Queen, and after this salute her
Majesty and the Royal party rode off the ground amidst
renewed cheering from the spectators. The troops marched
across the park to a spot upon which were erected marquees,
and here the men took their “ Queen’s luncheon” in the open,
while the officers were partaking of her Majesty’s hospitality in
tents.

After tho inspection, Sir Garnet Wolseley remained some
time on the review-ground with his friends ; subsequently the
General rode over to the bivouac, where he was louoly cheered
by the troops. He was escorted to the Castle by a large
following. Indeed, the General had only to bo seen at any
part of the ground to be recognised and cheered. He remained
as a guest of the Queen.

The troops marched through Windsor, headed by their
bands, and by five o’clock all had left for their respective
quarters.

A committee has been formed to carry out the necessary
arrangements consequent upou the acceptance by English
volunteers of an invitation to be present at the forthcoming
rifle contest at Havre.

A tailor, about sixty years old, and his wife, agreeing that
certain family troubles could only be terminated by death,
threw themselves, last week, into the Macclesfield and Bolling-
ton Canal. The woman was drowned, but the man manfully
cried out for help and was rescued.

The thirty-second report of the Copyhold Commission states
that the commissioners have completed 11,153 enfranchisements
and commutations, of which 621 enfranchisements have been
effected during the present year. Of the latter there were 28
enfranchisements in clerical manors, 49 in collegiate manors,
and 444 in lay manors, in pursuance of the powers given by
tho Universities and College Estates Act, 1858, and the Uni¬
versities and College Esta es Act Extension, 1860, the com¬
missioners have also authorised 701 sales, 260 purohases, 74
enfranchisements, 43 exchanges, 105 applications for raising
money, 10 trai 8 r o a of trusts, and three applications for the
augmentation of benefices.

ROYAL NATIONAL LIFE-BOAT INSTITUTION.

On Thursday week tho jubilee meeting of tho friends and tup-
porters of the Royal National Life-Boat Institution was held
at the London Tavern. The Duke of Northumberland, president
of the institution, occupied the chair.

His Grace, in opening the proceedings, said it was now fifty
years since the institution took its origin in the efforts of
a humane individual in the Isle of Man (Sir William Hillary),
assisted by many others, whose philanthropy and sense of what
was due to the seafaring population of the country led them to
use their best endeavours to remedy evils, to obviate which
at that time hardly any attempt had been made. The efforts
of the society were first directed simply to rewarding those
who had exposed themselves to danger in saving the lives of
others, and to giving grants to those who established means for
that purpose; out their operations were gradually increased
until twenty-five or thirty years ago, when much progress waa
made in the creation of life-boats—real life-boats—which could
be trusted. After this a great movement took place under the
auspices of a nobleman, a near relation of his own, and whoso
title ho now bore—he meant the late Duke of Northumberland—
under whose auspices all that science could effect Mas
brought to bear upon this important question. Tlfo
society not only obtained the best articles that could
be procured in tho form of life-boats, but attained a degree
of organisation which he believed, without egotism, omitted
nothing which by any possibility it was desirable to include.
He supposed that at the time when the society was estab¬
lished not more than half a dozen so-called “ life-boats ” could
have been found on the coasts of the kingdom; but the de¬
velopment of the society had been such that the life-boats now
belonging to them numbered 239. There was no port of the
kingdom which could be called a port that did not possess a
life-boat, and there was hardly a dangerous locality on the
coast wdiich was not provided with the means of saving life
from shipwreck. The organisation of the society comprised
not only the formation of the life-boat establishments, but the
rewarding of the crews and the maintenance of the boats in a
proper condition. One point in that organisation waa the fact
that it availed itself of local assistance, by which means an
interest M as cru-ted in the society and a perpetual supervision
over the crews M as obtained. There was another matter of

which the society might be justly proud—namely, that not
only had their efforts m their own country been crowned M r ith
success, but that these efforts and their organisation were being
initiated by the countries throughout the world. He believed
that it would never be necessary to make any special appeal to
this country on behalf of the National Life-Boat Institution, for
he M r as convinced that it was most firmly established in the
affections of the people. His Grace concluded by a touching. #
reference to the late Mr. Thomas Baring, the chairman of the
committee.

After some further remarks, he called on Mr. Richard
Lewis, secretary of the institution, to read the annual report.

The report began by saying that the committee of the
Royal National Life-Boat Institution had once more the satis¬
faction to present to its supporters and the public their annual
report; and they had special gratification in doing so from the
circumstance that this is the jubilee year of the society, it
having been established in 1824. For many years after¬
wards it devoted the limited funds at its disposal to the
bestowal of honorary and pecuniary rewards to boatmen and
others who were the means of saving shipwrecked persons, and
to occasional grants of money to local associations towards the
purchase and repair of life-boats. In 1S50 a fresh impetus Mas
given to the great and national work of tho society, and it then
undertook the establishment of life-boat stations round the
coasts of the United Kingdom. From that period it had steadily
progressed in the enlargement of its sphere of operations ; and
on its jubilee anniversary it stood in the proud position of
having placed efficient life-boat establishments M'herever they
were as yet needed, and it had the large number of 239 life¬
boats on the coasts of tho United Kingdom and the Oh&nnel
Islands. Since the last report fourteen new life-boats had
been placed on the coast. During the past year the society's
boats hail saved the lives of four hundred and seventy-
one persons, nearly all under circumstances of peril
that M f ould have precluded any ordinary boats from
venturing out to sea. During the past year twelve silver medals,
twenty-one votes of thanks inscribed on vellum, and £2026 had
been granted by the society for saving 471 lives by life-boats,
and 197 lives by fishing-boats and other means. The number
of lives saved from its establishment to the present time,
either by its life-boats or by special exertions for which it had
granted reM r ards, was 22,153. The committee were at a loss for
words to adequately express their thankfulness for that glorious
harvest of human lives rescued from a watery grave ; and,
encouraged by such gratifying results, they were determined
to put forth all the resources of the institution to perpetuate
and extend its great work on the coasts of the British Isles.
Since the formation of tho institution it had voted ninety-one
gold and 844 silver medals for saving life, besides pecuniary
rewards to the amount of about £42,000. The committee
cordially acknowledged the continued hearty co-operation of
the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, tho Board of Trade,
the officers and men of tho coastguard service, the local branch
committees and their honorary secretaries, and the coast boat¬
men and fishermen. The efforts of the Board of Trade in the
maintenance and extension of tho rocket apparatus on the
coasts of the United Kingdom were unceasing. Many gratifying
donations and legacies received during the past year were grate¬
fully acknowledged. The total amount of the receipts in that period
had been £31,740, and of that sum £6030 was the result of
special gifts to defray tho cost of ten life-boats. The expenditure,
including liabilities, had amounted to £25,373. In conclusion,
the committee observed that the great and national work in,
which the institution had been engaged during the past fifty
years was extending every year. No longer confined to this
maritime country, its operations were knoMm, appreciated,
and followed throughout the civilised world. Possessing a
noble fleet of 239 splendid life-boats, perfectly equipped, the
institution appealed Mdth renewed confidence for sympathy
and support; and its managing committee believed that, ao
long as the institution could show in the future, as it had
sliOMTi in the past, that it was earnestly and efficiently carrying
out the great and philanthropic work it had undertaken, its
trustful expectation of continued and increased support wouldl
be nobly responded to by an enlightened and genorous public.

The report having been moved and unanimously adopted,
resolutions in furtherance of the objects of the institution were
and seconded by Sir John Swinburne, Barto. ; the

Rev. E. Hewlett, M.A. ; Mr. W. R. Preston; M*. T. B.
Smithies, editor of the British Workman ; Admiral Sjir J. W.
Tarleton, K.C.B. ; Mr. George Lyall; Mr. J. G.. Hubbard,

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS

APRIL 4, 1874

CAPTAIN W. F. BUTLER.

We avc glad to announce the return to England, arriving at
Portsmouth on Saturday, of this active and enterprising
oliiuer, who had been laid up with fever and dysentery on
board the hospital-ship, after his fatigues and exposure to the
climate of West Africa. Ho is not only an excellent soldier,
but the clever author of two of the most entertaining recent
books of travel, ‘‘The Great Lone Land” and “The Wild
North Land,” which describe the far western region of British
North America, up the Saskatchewan river to the Rocky
Mountains, and beyond these to the Pacific chore. We have,
on former occasions, noticed these interesting books, and they
have by this time given pleasure to many thousands of readers.
Captain Butler held a commission in the G9fch regiment, but
was on half-pay when he volunteered to join Sir Garnet
Wolseley’sexpedition on the Gold Coast, as he had served in the
same way, under that successful commander, in the Red River
Expedition of 1870. He was intrusted by Sir Garnet with the
special service of visiting the country of the Western Akims,
for the purpose of raising auxiliary native forces to act in
concert with the British army, as those under Captain Glover
eventually did, and as was to have been done likew ise by others,
under Captain Dalrymple. The arrangements made by Captain
Butler and Captain Dalrymple were only prevented from ful¬
filling their original design by the misbehaviour of our native
allies. This appears from the following account, dated Feb. 2
at Tribee, and addressed to the Chief of the Staff:—

“After the dispatch of my letter of the 29th and 30th ult.
a rapid retreat commenced in the w T hole Akim force. So uni¬
versal was the panic that during the greater portion of the
night bodies of men continued to move south, and early on
the morning of the 31st Yancoma was reached and left
behind. No attempt was made on the part of the
Kings to excuse or explain their gross treachery,
and I could elicit nothing more tangible than that they
were too far advanced into Asliantee territory, and that
they must be cut off before assistance could reach them. My
belief is that the statements of a blind Ashantee prisoner taken
at Nausnah, coupled with a verbal message sent by King Attah
of East Akim, the purport of which I was not made aware of,
did much to induce the disgraceful flight. No previous warn¬
ing, no intimation whatever, had been given to me that it was
the intention of the Kings and Chiefs to abandon Akina; in¬
deed, up to the very moment that the retreat began I was
moving through the camps, endeavouring to get the Akims to
move to Dadiasso, en route to Amoaful, and I had actually
engaged a party of hunters to proceed through the bush to
the main liue near the latter place. Yet so complete was the
flight that within two hours not^ a man was left in Akince,
and long before midnight every Akim was behind the Ennoou
river, ten miles distant. All thi3 without a reverse having taken
place, and after a loss of only two killed and two wounded in
the entire force.

“ I cannot express to you,” says Captain Butler, ‘‘the feel¬
ings with which 1 beheld this total break up of the movement.
Little by little, step by step, I had succeeded in leading these
savageB to within a very trifling distance of tho point aimed at.
It is true that there were many indications of how utterly un¬
trustworthy was the composition of the force under my
command ; but, nevertheless, at Akina I naturally looked at the
task as all hut accomplished, and my junction with the main
body at Amoaful, within a few miles of Coomassio, as only a
question of some hours. Eucuirtbered with baggage, without
carriers, save those given me by the Kings, and with three
of my officers sick from actual fever or its recent presence, I
dare not wait at Akiuee the chance of communication from the
main body. I had to abandon the fruits of no little labour at
the moment success seemed most assured. The Kings, with
about a quarter of the original force, are now encamped close
to the Prah at Embrouen ; they have refused to move to
Prah su. The remainder of the men are scattered or dispersed
to their homes. 1 will proceed to head-quarters with all speed,
and afterwards be ready to undertake such punishment as the
Major-General may determine to inflict upon the Akim chiefs.”

The foliowiug are tho comments of Sir Garnet Wolseley, in
his despatch to the Secretary of State for War, dated Feb. 8,
at Amoaful:—“Yesterday Captain Butler, half-pay, 69th
R giment, arrived in my camp, and, as his mission to the
Western Akims is now completely closed, 1 feel it my duty to
bring at once to your notice the admirable manner in which he
ha* conducted a most trying and difficult task.

“That Captain Butler failed in his effort to lead a force of
Akims to Coomassie is not his fault, but is solely due to the
ineradicable cowardice and sloth of the people with whom he
had to deal. In the face of great difficulties he succeeded in
ra sing a force of Akims and leading them across the Prah.
Although they deserted him at the very time when a junction
with me was within their reach, these troops did, by their
partial advance, effect that diversion which was the object of
<' iptain Butler’s labours, drawing off from opposition to the
c >lumn under my immediate command the whole lighting force
of Kokofoo, one of the six great tributary principalities of the
Ashantee kingdom.

“The high opinion of Captain Butler which caused me to
give him an independent command is strengthened by liis
conduct in this war; and I beg to recommend him especially
to your notice as an officer of great ability, of remarkably
icady resources, and of untiring powers of action.

“ I cannot express too strongly my sense of the efforts which
lie and the officers under his orders have made for tho cause in
baud. In so far as failure represents an additional trouble,
which has to be undergone by a man of energy and resource,
and an additional hardship from which he suffers, Captain
Butler has had all the bitterness of it. He has failed to induce
the miserable chiefs of this district to do all that he, in his fine
belief in native character, fancied that he would be able to
induce them to do. But, so far as the interests of the expe¬
dition under my orders are concerned, Captain Butler has
not failed, but most successfully achieved the very object
which I had in view in detaching him for' the work he so
cheerfully and skilfully undertook. He has effected a most
important diversion in favour of the main body, and has
detained before him all the forces of one of the most powerful
Asliantee chiefs.

“ For any purpose for which energy, practical ability, high
spirit, aud much Knowledge of character arc required, 1 can¬
not too highly commend Captain Butler to your Lordship’s
attention. All these qualities have been, imder the most try¬
ing circumstances, displayed by him upon the present occa¬
sion.”

Such praises from his commanding officer, which wo believe
to have been well deserved, should reconcile Captain Butler
to his disappointment among tho Akims ; and we hope that
the speedy recovery of his health will enable him, either with
the sword or the pen, to do something more for the public ser¬
vice and for his own merited advancement. The Portrait is
from a photograph.

The manuscripts presented by Mrs. Grote to the British
Museum are contained in twenty volumes.

The governors of the Queen Anne’s Bounty Corporation held
their annual meeting, on Wednesday week, to vote away their
surplus income towards the augmentation of benefices in
England and Wales. There were ninety cases approved. No
grants were made on this occasion, except to meet benefac¬
tions. The value of the benefactions offered to the board was
more than £22,000; the grants made, £18,000 ; and the Church
of England thus secures a capital sum of £40,000. Four of the
cases were donatives, without any fixed income whatever ; they
will now become benefices liable to Episcopal jurisdiction.

A stained-glass window, of unusual excellence, has been
fixed in the church at Saxmundkam, in Suffolk, having been

of Wight, the three lancet windows at the west end of the nave
have been filled with painted glass as a memorial to Bishop
Wilberforce. The design is intended to represent the apostolical
ministry of the Church. The memorial was a freewill offering
on the part of the parishioners at large.

A building feat has just been performed at St. Jude’s
Schools, Upper Chelsea, which may fairly be said to rival many
of those which we are told take place every day on the other
side of the Atlantic. The main roof, measuring about
27 yards one way and 10 yards the other, covered with slates,

■ lined internally with plaster, and containing several skylights,
has been lifted up bodily by Mr. J. High, under the direction
of the architect, Mr. E. H. Lingen Barker. Then, after being
poised for several weeks mid air, exposed to sundry gales, on
the fine points of a few ordinary screwjacks, whilst a lofty
story was in course of erection beneath, it was finally lowered
and fixed in its raised position, no disturbance whatever of the
slates or cracking of the plaster or glass having occurred.

A very handsome timepiece and a pair of beautiful bronze
vases were recently presented, by the pro - churchwardens

OBITUARY OF EMINENT PERSONS.

SIR W. H. ELLIOTT.

CHESS.

TO CORRESPONDENTS.

Sir William Henry Elliott. G.C.B., K.H., Colonel of the 51st
Regiment, died, on the 27ih ult., at his residence. 20, Cambridge*
square, in his eighty-second year. The eon < f Captain John
Elliott, R.N., one of Captain Cook’s companions in the circum¬
navigation of the globe, young Elliott entered the Army, in the
olst Regiment, 1S09, and attained the rank of General in 1871.
During the long and eventful interval he saw much service and
gained much distinction. He had the Peninsular medal, with
live clasps, for the part he took in the campaigns of 1S12, 1S13,
and 1814; was decorated with the Waterloo in.dal for his
share in the decisive battle of Waterloo ; and received the
Burmese medal and clasp, and on two occasions the thanks of
the Governor-General of India in Council, for his services in the
second Burmese war, in which he commanded the Madras
Brigade. Sir William married, 1831, Mary Anno, daughter of
William Ashmore, Esq., of St. Matthew’s, Ipswich.

SIR VT. IT. BODKIN.

S r William Henry Bodkin, late Assistant Judge of the Mid¬
dlesex Sessions, a Deputy Lieutenant for Middlesex, w*ho died
on tho 26fch ult., at his residence, West Hill, Highgate, in his
eighty-third year, w'as the eldest son of Mr. Peter Bodkin, of
Galway. Adopting the legal profession, he was called to the
Bar in 1826. and, joining the Home Circuit, soon obtained con¬
siderable practice at the Middlesex, Westminster, and Kent
Sessions, as well as at the Central Criminal Court. In the
words oi Mr. Serjeant Cox, “Sir William Bodkin was an
admirable Judge and a most excellent man, tempering justice
with mercy and combining kindness with firmness.” As
a criminal lawyer he was highly considered. In 1841 he
was elected M.P. for Rochester in the Conservative interest,
and sat until the dissolution in 1847. In 1S5S he was chosen a
Bencher of Gray’s Inn, in 1859 appointed Assistant Judge of
the Middlesex Sessions, and in 1867 knighted. Sir William
published a pamphlet “ On Poor Laws.” He married, first, in
1812, Sarah Sophia, daughter of P. Raymond Poland, Esq. ;
and secondly, in 1865, Sarah Constance, daughter of Joseph
Johnson Miles, Esq., of llighgate.

MR. S. BALL.

Samuel Ball, Esq., died recently, in his ninety-fourth year, at
Sion House, lVoiverley, Worcestershire, w'here he had lived
in retirement for the last twenty-five j'cars. His name deserves
to bo remembered as one to whom tho country is indebted.
Ho was for many years a member of the East India Company’s
establishment at Canton, and, though China and most sources
of information respecting it were at that time closed to
Europeans, his extraordinary industry gained him much and
minute information as to the geography of the tea districts and
their trade routes; and in 1817, in a printed paper of great
detail, lie showed the directors of the East India Company
that Foo-Chow was the natural harbour of export for the black
teas, and urged the opening of that port. The directors de¬
clined to move, and the matter slept. In 1842, when Sir Henry
Pottinger was sent to stipulate for new ports of trade, there
was almost entire ignorance wrhich to choose, and the Chinese
rendered no assistance. Mr. Bali's facts and papers were grate¬
fully accepted by Sir Henry Pottinger; Foo-Chow was opened,
and its annual export of black teas alone is now little short of
ninety millions of pounds. With the same diligence Mr. Ball
inquired, under similar difficulties, into the Chinese modes of
culture and manufacture of tea, aud published, in JS48, a most
able scientific and practical work on that subject, which is to
this day a standard book with the growers of tea in our Eastern
poBai-ssiona. Mr. Ball’s eldest brother, Colonel George Ball,
rose, by merit onlv, to the high pout of Adjutant-General of the
Bengal Army, and was awarded a K.C.B. for services in war,
but died before ho received it.

MR. ALBERT WAY.

Albeit Way, Esq., M.A., F.S.A., of Wonham Manor, in the
county of .Surrey, formerly director of tho Society of Anti¬
quaries, and founder of the Archaeological Iustifcuto of
Great Britain and Ireland, died at Cannes, on the 22nd
ult., in his sixty-ninth year. This accomplished and vtry
learned archaeologist was the only son of the late Rev.
Lewis Way, of Stanstead Park, Sussex, by Mary, his
wife, daughter and coheiress of the Rev. Herman Drewe,
Rector of Comb Raleigh, Devon, and grandson of Benjamin
Way, Esq., F.R..B., F.A.S., of Denham Place, Bucks, pre-
si* lent of Guy’s Hospital, aud sub-governor of the South Sea
Company, by Elizabeth Anne, his w r ife, daughter of William
Cooke, D.D., Provost of King’s College, Cambridge. The
father of Mr. Albert Way, Mr. Lewis Way, originally a bar¬
rister, but subsequently a clergyman, by a curious freak of
fortune, forming a very interesting chapter of family romance,
tuo loug to be narrated in our confined space, acquired a very
considerable property, a great part of which ho devoted to the
conversion of the Jews and various w r orks of philanthropy.
One of these, tho Marbceuf Chapel at Paris, completed by Mr.
Albert Way, w r hosc death we record, remains a permanent
memorial. Mr. Way married, April ’30, 1844, the Hon.
Emmeline Stanley, daughter of the late Lord Stanley of
Alderley, and leaves one daughter.

THE INTER - UNIVERSITY MATCH.

(From our Cambridge CorresjnndenL)

The second match between tho two Universities took place last Friday
week (March 27), at tho rooms of tho City of London Club. The con¬
ditions were identical with those of last year; and, as it turned out tho
result was equally one sided and decisive. This was mainly duo to' tho
untiring energy of tho last two Cambridge presidents, Messrs. Ball and
Keynes, who had worked unceasingly in the arrangement of tournaments
and matches.

The first pair. Messrs. Parratt (Oxford) anil De Soy res (Cambridge) had
already met in lost year’s match, when Parratt won both games. This
year the Cambridge captain nail his revenge: nfter two stubbornly-con¬
tested games hail ended in draws the third presented a won position for
him at the eighteenth move, and Herr Stvimu adjudged it in his favour.
In the second pair Keynes (Cambridge) won his firnt game yory rapidly,
drew tho second, and had so considerable an advantage in the tliird that
the award of the umpire gave him victory. At the next board Ogden
(Cambridge) was still mure fortunate, scoring two games before some of
the others had finished tlieir first: but his third attempt gave oxford one
victory. At hoard No. 4 perhaps the best-fought struggle took place,
between Ball, the Cambridge president, ami Grundy of Oxford, each win
ning a game, and no time remaining to decide by a third partio. Farther
down tho table luck htill more strongly favoured tho side of the Light
Blue, Plunkett only making one draw out of tlireo games; Tracey and
Connell only gaining one game each out of the rubber. The full more is
as follows

• Ju reality, Mr. Nicholson won anoiher ; but, as the rtipa’aUon was for tluree
(anir* ouJ f. ft Jots not count in the score.

After tho match, the combatants were hospitably entertained by tho
City of London Club. The usual toasts were given, that in honour of
the* losers being responded to by Mr. Parratt in a most amusing spec i h-in
fact, the speech of tho evening, or rather morning. Next best was tho
characteristic oration by Mr. Bird, and the song by Mr. ^teini'.x. (Wo
would .suggest to our Oxford friends: that when they have to undergo the
ordeal of "‘Schools,” and should be set to construe Oaudeamus ijfititr,
invents ilum stnntis, &c., it would not be advisable to write “For lie ‘h a
jolly good fellow,” Ac., however effective this translation turned oat to bo
when sung in chorus.) The other toasts were responded to bv Me - sis.
Lowenthal, Gastineau, Horwitz^ Zukertort, Rabbeth, Potter, and Dully.

TJie natural pride of the Cambridge men at the result of this contest
was considerably enhanced by tho fact that they won the victory under
tho eyes of their patron, Mr. Staunton, whose name their club has alway
enjoy* d the honour of bearing. 3. DE S.

Chess-Match between London and Vienna.— The match between
a committee of tho City’ of London Chess Club and a committee of the
Vienna Chess Club, for £100 a side, terminated, on Monday last, in favour
of the London players, it was begun one year and eight months ago.
Tho two games of which it consisted are remarkably well played, aud we

THE LAST HOURS OF LIVINGSTONE.

The following telegram was received on Sunday at tlie
London office of the New York Herald :—

“ The Malwa arrived off Suez at eleven on Saturday night,
having Mr. Arthur Laing and Jacob Wainwright in board,
with the body of Livingstone. Ho liai been iU with chronic
dysentery for several months past, and, although well supplied
with stores and medicines, ho seems to have had a presentiment
that the attack would prove fatal. He rode a donkey, but was
subsequently carried, aud thus arrived at Muilala, beyond Lake
Bemba, in Joisa country, when he said, * Build me a hut to die
in.’ The hut was built by his followers, who first mule him a
bed. He suffered greatly, groaning night and day. On the
third day he said, *1 am very cold, put more grass over
the hut.’ His followers did not speak or go near
him. Kitumbo, chief of Bisa, sent flour and beans, and
behaved well to the party. On tho fourth day Livingstone
became insensible, and died about midnight. Majuahra,
his servant, was present. His last entry in diary was on
April 27. He spoke much and sadly of home and family.
When first seized he told his followers he intended to exchange
everything for ivory to give to them, and to push on to Ujiji and
Zanzibar and try to reach England. On tbe day of his death
the followers consulted what to do. The Nassick boys deter¬
mined to preserve the remains. They were afraid to inform
the chief of Livingstone’s death. Ti e secretary removed tho
body to another hut, around which ho built a high fence, to
oiRUre privacy. They opened the body and removed the inter¬
nals, which were placed in a tin box ahd buried inside the
fence, under a large tree. Jacob Wain wright cut an inscription
on the tree as follows :—* Dr. Livii gstoue died on May 4,
1873,’ and superscribed the name of the head man, Susa. The
1 o ly was preserved in salt and dried in tho sun for twelve
days. Kitumbo was then informed o ; the death, and beat
drums and fired, as a token of respict and allowed the fol¬
lowers to remove the body, which was placed in a coffin formed
of lark, then journeyed to Unyanycmbe about six months,
sending an advanced party with information addressed to
Livingstone’s son, which met Cameron. The latter sent back
bales of cloth and powder. The body arrived at Unyanyembe
ten days after the advanced party, aud resti d tTere a fort¬
night. Cameron, Murphy, and Dillon togethi r there; latter
very ill, blind, and mind affected; suicided an Kasakera;
buried there. Here Livingstone’s remains weie put iu another
bark case, smaller, done up as a bale to deceive natives, who
objected to the passage of the corpse, which w’as thus carried
to Zanzibar. Livingstone’s clothing, papers, and instruments
accompany the body. When ill Livingstone prajed much. At
Muilala, ho said, *1 am going home.* Cburnah remains at
Zanzibar. Webb, American Consul at Zanzibar, is on his way
home, and has letters handed to him by Murphy from
Livingstone for Stanley, which he will deliver personally
only. Geographical news follows. After Stanley’s departure
the doctor left Unyanyembe, rounded the south end of Lake
Tanganyika, and travelled south of Lake Bemba, or Bang-
neolto, crossed it from south to north, then along east side,
returning north through marshes to Muilala. All papeis
sealed ; address, Secretary of State, in charge of Arthur Laing,
a British merchant from Zanzibar. Murphy and Cameron
remain Rebind.”

The concluding meeting of tlie delegates from London
Sunday schools of all denominations was held, on Thursday
week, at the Weigli-IIouse Chapel.

Mr. Gladstone's expenses at the Greenwich election in
February last are officially declared to have been £1323. Air.
Liardet’s expenses were £1090. The return of the expenses of
Mr. Boord and Mr. Baxter Langley have already been pub¬
lished. They amounted to £2626 and £123 respectively.

The revenue of the Duchy of Lancaster, according to the
accounts published on Friday w r eek, by order of Parlia¬
ment, was, with aiTcars, in the year ended Dec. 31 last,
£70,548 3s. lid. The receipts within the year were
£64,536 5s. 7d. ' At the end of tho year the balance was
£647D Is. 6d. Among the disbursements is a payment made to
the Keeper of her Majesty’s Privy Purse of £41,000.

The eighteenth anniversary dinner of tho Royal Hospital
for Incurallies took place, last week, at the London Tavern—
Lord G. Hamilton, M.P., presiding. In proposing the toast of
the evening, the chairman said that at the present time tho
institution supported 151 inmates and 319 pensioners, and there
were no fewer than 200 candidates waiting to participate in
the advantages either of tho hospital or of the pensions. The
balance-sheet of tho past year showed that nearly £16,U00
was expended in maintaining the hospital and in granting
pensions. Subscriptions were announced amounting to £2600.

Mr. Cross, on Thursday week, received a deputation, whose
members urged the necessity of reducing the hours of labour
of women and children in factories. The right lion, gentleman,
in reply, said lie had given attention, as the representative of a
large manufacturing district, to this question for many years ;
and he sincerely hoped, before long, to see the legislation re¬
lating to factories taken out of its present complicated con¬
dition. Tho arguments which had been advanced should be
well weighed by the Government, and the w hole subject would
receive their careful consideration.

Lord Hampton presided, last week, at the opening of tho
session of the Institution of Naval Architects, l he report of
the council stated that the iiuauces were in a flourishing con¬
dition. His Lordship, iu ail inaugural address, spoke gratefully
of the increasing interest which naval men were taking in the
institution. He alluded to Mr. Flimsoll’a Royal Commission
and its preliminary report. In eulogising Mr. Plimsoll the noble
Lord gave him credit for having instigated recent legislation
with regard to shipping, and thereby conferred on the Board of
Trade powers of survey which it had never before possessed.
A series of important papers was road, including one by Mr.
Barnaby, chief architect of the Royal Navy, on recent designs
for ships of war, armoured and unarmoured.

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS,

LONDON, SATURDAY, APRIL 11, XS7J.

Tlie quiet of tlie Easter holidays has not been entirely
undisturbed. Spain has uttered a cry which breaks iu
upon the otherwise peaceful condition of Europe. Tlie
Carlist war in that country approaches its crisis. Until
lately it excited but little apprehension. It was rather
of the nature of a local outbreak than of a national
struggle. It resembled in its character those border
feuds wliicb, two or three centuries ago, preyed upon the
peace of society in Northumberland and Cumberland *
or more correctly, perhaps, the civil strife stirred up in
the northern parts of England during the last century by
the appearance of a pretender to the throne. Of late, how¬
ever, the Carlists of Spain have obtained such successes in
the Basque Provinces as to excite serious misgivings in
Madrid itself. The defeat of General Morioues in his
attempt, to dislodge the forces of the Carlists from the
intrenched position they occupied in the vicinity of
Bilbao gave a new aspect to the civil war. Thenceforth
it assumed the importance of a national contest. Marshal
Serrano, the tie facto President of the Republic, recog¬
nised atr once the necessity of employing the whole
resources of the country, under his own personal direc¬
tion, in crushing the dynastic enterprise which for many
months past has sought to establish a permanent footing
in the north-west of Spain, Even his efforts, how¬
ever, have as yet been unavailing. At the time of
our present writing he has not succeeded, with all
the organised force of the nation at his command,
in dislodging the foe. Four days’ severe fighting have,
indeed, proved that his means of offence are superior to
those which arc within reach of his Carlist antagonists,
and that probably, though at very considerable cost, he
may gain a decided advantage over them. But it is
clear that the w ar has arrived at a critical stage. The
superiority of Marshal Serrano in military strength is
nearly equalled by tlie impregnability of the intrenched
position occupied by the Carlists; and, although tlie
chances of the latter would seem to the outside w T orld to
be ultimately inferior to those of their assailants, no one
who is fairly acquainted with all the conditions of tlie
strife would feel warranted in confidently predicting how
it will terminate.

The sacrifice of life in this severe and protracted
struggle is quite lamentable enough. What makes it
still more so, however, is the remote prospect that exists
of the issue, whatever it may be, being made subservient
to the welfare of the country. Serrano is nominally act¬
ing in the name and on the behalf of the Spanish people.
He is the President of the Republic. It is quite possible
that lie has tlie good of his country at heart; but he is
none the less a usurper of the position which he holds.
It may be'that his usurpation can be justified, bat
it can hardly be denied that it is a misfortune.
He can wield, for the present, the forces of the
Spanish people. He may eventually subdue and dis¬
perse the followers of Don Carlos j but it can hardly h’
said of him that he represents the mind or will
of Spain. When he lias triumphed over every extend
foe it will still bo doubtful what ]>osition he wi II assume,
what form of governmeut he will favour, what institu¬
tions he will maintain, w T liat policy he will prosecute.
Unfortunately, government in Spain has left the track of
legality, and no one can safely predict the course which
it will take in future. It may have been forced to do so,
if only to avoid a more unhappy alternative; but, what¬
ever may have been the cause, the fact itself can only be
regarded in the light of a national calamity. It has
made the future uncertain. It has thrown a mist over
the prospects of the nation ; and unquestionably, whether
Serrano succeed or fail in carrying the line3 at
Somorrostro, Spain will be doomed to look forward with
doubt and apprehension.

On the other hand, a Carlist success would settle
nothing. The cause contended for by the party, although
dynastic in its pretension, is exclusively local iu the
source of its strength. The larger part of Spain, an l
certainly the most influential part, is utterly devoid of
political sympathy with the Pretender. He represents
principles winch have long since become obsolete, even
in the Peninsula. Could he march upon and take pos¬
session of Madrid he would yet be as a stranger to hi3
fellow-countrymen and subjects. The system which he
symbolises is at least half a century behind the ago.
Public opinion is not very advanced in Spain*
but it is too far forward to sit down under Carlism.

sc ( iaJ, to the nature and quality of the convictions they
hold. One cannot, therefore, but mourn over the
fruitless contest which is being waged in the neighbour¬
hood of Bilbao. Nothing good can come of it. No
living principles are involved in the issue. One can
hardly say that any real national interest is at stake. It
is an episode, stained with blood and full of suffering;
but it can only affect the national destinies of Spain
very indirectly—and, as far as human foresight can judge,
rather for evil than for good.

It is some consolation to reflect that such calamities
as are now under notice disturb society in the Peninsula
to no great depth beneath the surface. Probably,
throughout the larger proportion of Spain, the Carlist
war excites not much more painful interest than it does in
this country. No doubt it interferes in more ways than
one with the ordinary prosperity of the Spanish people,
and no doubt it will bo a blessing for them when the
local and dynastic strife is brought to an end. To a
certain extent, it deprives commercial enterprise of that
confidence which is the prime condition of its activity
and success. It hampers the movements of trade and
industry. It diverts into unproductive channels the
energies of the population. It keeps alive a political
excitement which is incompatible with social tranquillity,
and it fosters indirect mischiefs of almost every con¬
ceivable kind. But a great nation like Spain must not
be regarded as though its main interests were involved
in the pending struggle. We should commit a great
mistake were we to look upon the fate of the Peninsula
as if it were poised upon the issue of the contest be¬
tween Pvepublicans and Carlists. We can only regret
that it has occasioned, and must still occasion, so much
fiuitless bloodshed. But we can hardly entertain an
expectation that the Civil War in Spain, for so it must
be called, end how it may, will lay a basis for the perma¬
nent tranquillity and progress of the country.

THE REVIEW AT. WINDSOR.

The review by her Alajcsty the Queen, in Windsor Park on
Alonday w’eek, of the troops lately commanded by Sir Garnet
Wolseley in the campaign against the Ashantees, is the subject
of four or live Illustrations. Although but a small force was
assembled upon this interesting occasion, numbering about HiOO
men, there was a peculiar significance in their meeting the
Queen here, as a rew ard for their toils and perils in Western
Africa. It w as not like a mere holiday pageant, such as the
more brilliant display of military pomp last Midsummer before
the Shah. These three brave regiments of the British Army,
with the detachments of Artillery and Engineers, had been
doing real hard work for the service of the British Empire.
They had come home, from a laborious and dangerous enter¬
prise in the worst climate upon earth, to receive due thanks for
their fidelity, and praise for the fortitude by which a complete
success had been happily won. The Queen herself had desired
to see them as early as possible, and to give them a token of
her gracious approbation. Everyone among the thousands of
spectators felt himself a partaker in this general feeling of
public congratulation.

The ground at first chosen for this review was in the Home
Park, w hich did not seem large enough. A change was there¬
fore made to the Great Park, w here the ground finally taken
w'as a large open space half way down the Long Walk, between
the Long Walk and Queen Anne’s Ride. The carriages of spec¬
tators were ranged along the cast side of Queen Anne’s Ride,
looking towards the Long Walk. Near the south end of this
line was the Royal standard, with the saluting-point where the
Queen would sit in her carriage while the troops marched
past. On each side of the Queen’s place were inclosed
compartments for members of the two Houses of Par¬
liament and of the Royal household, for the news¬
paper reporters, and for the Eton schoolboys. The 2nd
Life Guards, the 6th Dragoon Guards (Carabiniers), and the
first battalion of Grenadier Guards kept *ho muudjjuishsled
by a force both of tko Metropolitan police and the Windsor
police. At the salnting-point stood a guard of honour of the
Grenadiers.

About noon the troops began to arrive, some from Ports¬
mouth, some from Shoracliffo, from Winchester, and from
Woolwich. As they arrived they had to march by Castle-hill
and through High-street, which were adorned with flags and
lined with an enthusiastic crowd, to their respective stations in
the park. The Rifle Brigade, second battalion, under Colonel
Warren, from Winchester, was the first to arrive. They were
met at the railway station by liis Royal Highness the Prince of
Wales, wearing his uniform as their Colonel. In their rear as
they maiched into the park was led Major Glyn’s chestnut pony,
almost the only horse that accompanied the Ashantee expe¬
dition. The Royal Welsh Fusiliers (23rd Regiment), under
Colonel the Hon. Savage Mostyn, were the next to arrive,
from Shorncliffe, leading with them the beautiful white
goat lately given to replace their former pet animal,
which died on the Gold Coast. The Black Watch (42nd
Highlanders), from Portsmouth, were not more than ten
minutes behind the Fusiliers ; close upon their heels came
the Royal Engineers, the Royal Artillery, and the Army Ser¬
vice Corps ; and then the troops were all told. When they
were in line the troops stood in the following order from the
rightOfficers of the Control and Special Service, Royal
Artillery, Royal Engineers, 23rd Royal Welsh Fusiliers, 42ncl
Highlanders, with about one hundred men of the 79th who volun¬
teered into the expedition, and the Rifle Brigade—some 1600 in
all. It was some time before the Queen and the other members of
the Royal family arrived j and by that time the rain clouds
had drifted away, the sun shone, and blue sky had appeared.

Alajor-General Sir Garnet Wolseley rode a white Arab.
Among his stall’ were Brigadier Sir Archibald Alison, Colonel
Greaves, chief of the staff; Major Baker, assistant adjutant-
general ; Captain Brackenbury, assistant military secretary;
Captain Butler and Captain Russell, deputy assistant adjutants-
gcceral; Surgeon-Alajor Alackinnon, C.B., the. principal
medical officer to the expedition ; and, not to mention several
others, Lord Gifford, wearing his scarlet uniform as a lieute¬
nant of the 24th Regiment.

It w as nearly two o’clock when the 2nd Life Guards, who
formed the escort of the Royal party, were seen coming down
the Long Walk. The bugle sounded, the officers fell into their
places, the crowd of spectators became silent and attentive, as
the Royal carriages drove on to the review-ground. Her
Majesty was in a carriage drawn by four white horses, and pre¬
ceded by two outriders on white horses. With her were the
Princess of Wales, the Duchess of Edinburgh, and Princess
Christian. In the second carriage were Princesses Louise and
Beatrice, Prince Leopold, and Lady Churchill. The procession
was led by the Staff of the Commander-in-Chief. I lion came
the Duke of 'Cambridge, the Prince of Wales and Prince
Arthur, both in the uniform of the Rifle Brigade, the Duke of
Edinburgh, in the uniform of the Hon. Artillery Company, and
Prince Christian. After the Royal carriages camo the Master
of the Horse and junior members of the Comnmnder-in-Chief’8
Staff, the escort bringing up the rear.

Her Alajesty was heartily cheered as she drew up to the
salnting-point, when the band played “God Save the Queen ”
and a general salute w as given. The stay at this point w r as
short. Sir Garnet Wolseley w as called up, and, after a few
words with him, the Royal carriages started for the right of
the line, Sir Garnet riding by her Majesty. The Royal car¬
riages passed slowly along the line, returning in the interval
between the first and second line, and then returned to the
saluting-point. A change was now made in the disposition
of the troops. The Highlanders kept their position on one side
of a square, while the 23rd and Rifle Brigade marched round
and formed the other two sides. In the centre of this all the
dismounted officers formed up, and w T hen all was in readiness
her Alajesty’s carriage drew into the square.

The Queen here spoke to Sir Garnet Wolseley, thauked
him for his services, and handed to him the Grand Cross of the
Order of St. Michael and St. George. She also thanked Sir
Archibald Alison, who has lost one of his arms, and the other
was temporarily disabled. He was, therefore, unable to sit a
horse, but stood in front of his brigade, with a mounted aide-
de-camp at each side. The officers of the Staff were then
introduced to her Alajesty, who presented Lord Gifford with
the Victoria Cross ; and it was announced that another Victoria
Cross would be bestowed upon Sergeant Samuel APGaw, of the
42nd, who is at present upon the sick-list. Her Alajesty
requested the Commander-in-Cliief to convey her thanks to all
the troops who had taken part in the expedition. Tko Queen
then drove back to the saluting-point, and the march past
commenced. The bands of the three regiments and the special
service officers took up their positions opposite to her Alajesty.

Sir Garnet Wolseley and his Staff first passed the saluting-
oint, followed by Sir Archibald Alison, commanding the
rigade. Then came the company of Artillery and the
Engineers. They were followed by the Welsh Fusiliers, who
weie warmly greeted as they passed. The same cordial recep¬
tion was given to the 42nd and to the volunteers from the 79tn.
The Rifles followed, and were also well received. The rear

was brought up by the men of the Army Service Corps and the
Army Hospital Corps. The march-past over, the regiments
again drew up in line, and Sir Garnet Wolseley, taking up his
position with his Staff, in their front, took off his hat and
called for three cheers for the Queen. These wore given as
heartily as they had been w f ken he called for them in the
market-place of Coomassie on Feb. 4. Her Majesty now pre¬
pared to leave the ground. The lloyal salute was given, and,
amidst the hearty cheers of the spectators, she drove off the
ground.

The troops at once followed, and marched to some large
marquees, where a substantial meal was provided for each man
by the kindness of her Alajesty. When the meal was concluded
they again fell in, and marched through the town to the rail¬
way station.

After the review, Sir Garnet Wolseley, and some other
officers of the Ashantee expedition, had the honour of dining
with her Alajesty at Windsor Castle. Prince Arthur and the
Duke of Cambridge dined with them ; but the Prince and
Princess of Wales and the Dnkc and Duche3s of Edinburgh
returned to London.

It is announced that her Majesty will review at Osborne
all the sailors and marines who served on the Gold Coast, from
June 1 of hist year, during the late Ashantee war.

SKETCHES IN ST. PETERSBURG.

The ordinary street sights iu the modern capital of Russia have
many peculiar features differing from thoso of other Europeau
cities. The carriages, but more especially the sledge3 used in
winter, or sleighs as they are called in America, must bo
noticed by a foreign visitor. The Russian driver, the isivostekik,
of such a conveyance iu town or country, is not only skilful
but willing to serve his passenger’s convenience or caprice, by
doing all he knows with tb« Loot vf hb horse, in obe¬

dience to the cry of “Skivai! sliivai! ”—that is to say,
“ Faster ! faster ! ” which is frequently heard from the gentle¬
man sitting muffied in the cloak and cap of fur3. Rapid loco¬
motion is the delight of the Russian as of the American citizen,
for each lives in a big country, and has wide spaces to get
over. Our Artist, who was at St. Petersburg the other day, gives
us, in the page of liis sketches engraved, an example of thegcuteel
private sleigh, drawn by two horses, audone of the tradesman's
one-horse equipage in which John Gilpin takes his wife out for
a holiday airing. On the other hand, we observe in the sledge-
trucks and barrows, used by town porters for the carriage of
luggage and merchandise, a less expeditious and business-like
style than we arc accustomed to see in London. The organ-
grinder and the knife-grinder are familiar enough as audible to
our ears, though with some visible difference to our cye3 : and
the chiffonier, or dustman and rag-collector, is a necessary
agent of city and household good order. We are reminded of
the Russian Church and Dean Stanley’s fraternal greeting to
that religious communion by the figures of a monk and a nun.
Should any reader wish for minute and authentic information,
we refer him or her to a book just published by Messrs.
Rivington, “ Sketches of tho Itites and Customs of the Greco-
Itussian Church,” by H. C-. Romanoff, a series of tales and
essays, edited by Alias Yonge. The ecclesiastical, as well as
the social, aspects of Russia present much that is worthy of
study'. _

THE LATE DR, LIVINGSTONE.

The public will be pleased to hear that the Home Secretary
has caused an intimation to he conveyed to the family of the
late Dr, Livingstone to tko effect that all suitable arrangements
will be made, at the public charge, for the conveyance of the
remains of the traveller from Southampton to London, and for
their subsequent interment in 'Westminster Abbey.

It w'as resolved at a special meeting of tko Royal Geo¬
graphical Society that the remains of Dr. Livingstone should
Be in Btate for a week in the Council-room. The funeral
arrangements are left in the hands of the relatives, and the day
of interment in Westminster Abbey will be settled as soon as
Dean Stanley returns to towui. The arrival of the body at
Southampton will probably take place on Sunday next, and no
time will be lost in transferring it to London.

The secretary of the American Geographical Society his
sent a telegram to Mr. Clements R. Alarkham, asking the exa ;fc
hour and day of the funeral, in order that the event may bo
celebrated on both sides of the Atlantic simultaneously.

Among Dr. Livingstone’s papers were found a great many
letters, bearing the dates or 1869-70-71, addressed to Sir
Roderick AJurchison, Sir Henry Rawlinson, and others, which
had never been sent to these gentlemen. There ivere also found
the Doctor’s favourite gold-handed cap and Mr. Stanley’s card.

Mr. Markham has received a letter from Captain Brine to
the effect that, when the remains of Dr. Livingstone arrived
at Gogo, Lieutenant Alurphy had to resort to a stratagem, or
the body would never have reached England. Taking out
the corpse, he made it look like a bale of cloth, and sent
the coffin back, and w f as allowed to proceed with the precious
burden.

Rumours that the expedition led by Lieutenant Gran ly in
search of Dr. Livingstone had broken dowm are authoritatively
contradicted. It appears that some of the followers had
deserted ; but the inarch was still being resolutely pushed
forward, in ignorance, of course, that Livingstone was dead.

Air. Kirk was on Wednesday elected member for Louth, the

numbers being—For Air. Kirk, 997 ; for Air. Alolloy, 507.-

because they wanted the official stamp. One which had besn
admitted by the returning officer was objected to for having
the cross outside the square, and another for having it on the
left side of the voting-paper instead of on the right. Lord

FRANCE.

(From our Correspondent in Paris.)

Thursday, April 9.

The re is a general dearth of news this week. The fussy Yer-
sailles legislators are enjoying their Easter holidays, aud the
so-called Permanent Committee ai>pointed to watch over their
interests and the nation’s destinies has held as yet but one
meeting, and that a me*re formal sitting of live minutes’
duration. The spring session of the General Councils, for
which all parties are waiting to foment political agitation in
the departments, will open, however, in the course of a few
days, aud very shortly the electors of the Nievre will be called
upon to choose a deputy, in place of General Ducrot, who, it
will be recollected, resigned his seat at tbe close of last year.

Tho Cabinet appears to be very much pre-occupied as to
what line of policy it will be preferable to pursue when the so-
called Constitutional laws come on for discussion after the
recess; and the Dtbais, W'hich is becoming more and more
Ministerialist every day, is now advocating the union of the
Left and Right Centres, the former to receive two or
three portfolios as the price of its support. The an¬
ticipated effect of this proposition has been to frighten
most of the organs of tlie extreme .Right beyond measure, aud
they are calling upon their deputies to rally round the Govern¬
ment and prevent the introduction of any Republican element
into the Cabinet. A few black sheep, who refuse to be con¬
trolled, aud are continually prophesying the establishment o '
the Monarchy for “next week,” maintain, on the contrary, in
the Gazette de France , that tho Septennat is on its death¬
bed, that the Due de Broglie and. his colleagues wjll
never again bo able to rally a majority, and that the first
act of the Chamber when it meets next month will be to
place Henri V. upon the throne. This lias called forth an
announcement published anonymously, but evidently ema¬
nating from the Minister of the Interior, to the effect that th j
G overnment is resolved not to tolerate the false allegations cir¬
culated, not merely by the French but also by the foreign press,
apropos of Marshal MacMahon’s powers, and of tho intentions
oi Ins Cabinet — a hint that home journals may expect suppres¬
sion and interdiction from the public way should they dare to
speak slightingly of the present rulers of France, an-l that
seizure at the frontier awaits such foreign newspapers as choose
to follow that evil example.

M. Thiers has received this week a deputation of the French
residents in Japan, which had made the journey from Yoko¬
hama to Paris expressly with the view of presenting the late
President with an address and a superb garniture de chemntee,
designed and executed by Japanese artists. After thanking
the m profusely, M. Thiers remarked that France continues to
matiifcfct evtiy day her preference for a Republican form of
government, and added that he felt convinced that the popular
ear re would eventually triumph. A gold medal has been pre¬
sented to M. Thiers by delegates from tbe French residents in
Peru.

M. Bcnltf, the first of Marshal MacMahon’s Ministers of the
Interior, died suddenly, in Paris, on Sunday last, at tho age of
forty-eight. Tho deceased was perpetual secretary of the
Academy of Fine Arts, and owed his notoriety as a writer to
his (Studies on tho Casars, published in the Revue de* Deux
J\fc, 7 w’f 8 towards the close of the Second Empire, in which
he openly compared Napoleon III. to tho Emperors Domitian
and Cal pula. He failed completely as a politician. M. Beuld’s
fum ral 3 csterday was numerously attended. All the deputies
in Paris, including the membera of tho Left, were present.
The President of the Republic was represented by the Prince
dc Btrghts St. Winock, an aide-de camp. The Due de Broglie
made a apt ech at the grave.

] i wi A he recollected that, towards the close of last autumn,
a series of mui tiers were committed in the vicinity of Limours
out; R&iiibouifiet, followed by the suicide of a rural postman,
in whoite letter-bag was found a missive denouncing several
inhabitants of neighbouring villages as the perpetrators of these
crimes. We now learn that, alter detaining the accused in
pi bon for over two months, tho police authorities have
tcuvinced themselves of tlieir innocence and set them at
liberty.

r i he celebrated Baufiremont affaire, which lias been before
the French tribunals for seven years, is now terminated, the
Peris Court of Appeal having finally pronounced a judicial
separation between tho Prince de Baufiremont and his wife,
and ccndcmncd the former, whom it finds guilty of all the
ch; rges of misconduct brought against him, in the costs.

SPAIN.

Nothing definite is known of the result of the hard fighting
in the neighbourhood of Bilbao. There was au armistice of
three days last week to remove the wounded and bury the dead.
By telegram from Jean de Luz we are informed that Marshal
Serrano has reopened his fire on the key position of the Oarlists
at San Pedro de Abanto, and that it is being feebly answered
by tlie Carlists; but local opinion is divided as to the cause,
which may be either strategical reasons or scarcity of ammu¬
nition. This renewed attack was not expected to hare much
result while the prevailing rough w’eathcr hindered the co¬
operation of the squadron. The Carlists are meanwhile
strengthening their line of defence, which covers the road from
Poi iugalete to Bilbao. Tho Oarabiniers of Catalonia have, with
a few exceptions, been sent to reinforce the Arm } 7 of the .North,

Great agitation is said to prevail in Tarragona owing to the
demands of tbe coopers, who are on strike. The town is still
blockaded on the land side by the Carlists, and many people
are leaving by sea.

Santa Cruz, the Carlist curt 4 , has undergone a trial by tho
French authorities at Bayonne, and been acquitted on the
charges laid against him. A pre-existing municipal order for
Ids expulsion from French territory will, however, bo enforced.

From Cuba the announcement is made that General Concha
lias been installed as Captain-General at Havannah. General
Concha has proclaimed his intention to exeroise a vigorous
policy. He invokes all Spaniards to rally round him. As an
inducement to the planters, he Btates that the slavery question
is to be postponed.

PORTUGAL.

The last fitting of the present Cortes was held yesterday
wet k. The date oi the next elections is not fixed.

The Portuguese newspapers attach great importance to the
approaching exhibition of samples of Portuguese w r ines in
London, and they express hopes that tlie British Government
w ill aid the importation of these wines and those of Spain in
competition with the wines of France.

GERMAN V.

May 3 is the date appointed for the arrival of the Czar in
Beilin. He will bo accompanied by Prince Gortscliakoff and
three of the Imperial Grand Dukes.

The Fmpcror William and the Empress Augusta were
present at the dinner given b} f the British Ambassador, Lord
Odo Russell, at Berlin on Monday.

11 err von Forkenbcck, President of the Reichstag, has ha l

an audience of the Emperor, in which he gave assurances to his
Majesty confirming the expectations entertained that the
question of the Army Bill avould be settled without conflict
between the majority and the Government. The President
believed that the Reichstag would vote a peace effective of
3S4,00O men in a form acceptable to the Government. A meet¬
ing was held at Cologne, on Tuesday, at which an address was
adopted declaring that it xvould be a national calamity if the
Parliament and the Government failed to come to an under¬
standing on the Military Bill, and urging the former to make
advances to the latter sq as to remove the painful uncertainty
weighing on the country. , _ .

It is stated by the Fa (ion a l Gazette of Berlm that Prince
Bismarck is increasing in strength, though he still spendB mo 3 t
of the day in bed. Prince Bismarck has replied as follows to
the congratulatory telegram sent to him by the King of Bavaria
on the occasion of the sixtieth anniversary of liis birthday : —
«* Your Majesty’s kind wishes aud gracious remembrance of
this day have given me much happiness. Will your august
Majesty kindly accept my respectful thanks ? I hope that, by
God’s help, I may soon be restored to my task, for the accom¬
plishment of w'hieli your Majesty’s goodwill and confidence will
be indispensable.” Replying to a resolution adopted at a Ham¬
burg meeting of electors for tlie Reichstag, Prince Bismarck has
thanked them for their confidence, and has scud that the con¬
viction expressed in the first commercial city of Germany in
favour of maintaining on a permanent footing an army able to
protect the labours of peace will find an echo in the country.

We learn from Strasburg that the Municipal Council of that
city has been dissolved by imperial decree, and that its powers
will be exercised by the Director of the Police.

AU ST RO - HU N G ARY.

It is stated at Vienna that this year’s Austrian Red Book
will not contain any of the correspondence W'hich lias passed
between Count Andrassy and the Romau Curia with respect to
the Austrian Church Bills. The Pope’s letter to the Austrian
Emperor will also be withheld, but Count Andrassy will offer
explanations to the Delegations. When the Church Bills have
been adopted by the Upper House of the Reichsrath they will
l>e immediately submitted for the Emperor’s sanction.

DENMARK.

The King’s birthday (on Wednesday) was very loyally ob¬
served at Copenhagen, and tho attendance at the Royal levee
was unusually large.

Countess Danner, morganatic wife of the late King, w as
buried on Wednesday w eek, in presence of an immense crowd.

The Parliamentary Session adjourned on Wednesday week,
having passed the estimates for tho current year. It post¬
poned the Government proposal for increasing the salaries of
the Civil Service.

Dominion Parliament :—

Honourable Gentlemen of the Senate anil Gentlemen of tlie House of
Commons.—I have convoked Parliament at the earliest moment consistent
with tlie delay entailed by its recent dissolution. Your attention will be
invited during the present .Session to measures having reference to fclia
representation of the people in Parliament, embracing the system now
prevailing in Great Britain and in most other countries on joying
constitutional government, of hiking votes by ballot, and to the
establishment of n general court of appeal. Measures will also be sub¬
mitted to you for tho amendment of the kvwB relating to controverted
elections, militia, and insolvency. The enactment of 1872 respecting the
Canadian Pacific Railway having failed to secure the prosecution of this
great enterprise, you will be called upon to consider what plan will best
and mort speedily provide the means of trans-continental communication
with British Columbia. A report of the chief engineer will he laid before
you, shoving what progress was made during tlie past year in
sutvey« connected with the proposed line. The destruction of the railway
effirefc by lire involved n serious loss of maps, plans, arul papers, tho pos¬
session of which would have made the report more complete. Canal
and huihcmr improvements are being vigorously* prosecuted, with a
view to ensure ademuite accommodation lor tho rapidly-growing trade
of the country. The report of tho chief engineer of tho Department
of Public Works on tho proposed canal between the Gulf of 3fc.
Lawrence and the Bay of Fiindy will be submitted for vour considera-
tion. W ith the progress already made in the construction of tlie inter¬
colonial railway, another year* will be required to complete it • a report
indicating its actual condition will be laid before Parliament, and a
measure will be introduced to vest in the department of Public Works

INDIA.

A telegram, dated April 4, from tlie Viceroy states that the
■weather during the fortnight has been singularly favourable;
that the rain has done much good ; and that, owing to the
earliness of the spring harvest, people have been enabled to
prepare the ground for the later crops. Except in Tirhoot, the
condition of the people is said to be “decidedly good and
hopeful.” The total number of deaths from starvation is given
as thirteen. It is feared, however, that a certain number of
old people and children have succumbed, or will succumb, to
privation besides these. When deaths occur on the relief
works it is impossible to say whether they are due wholly or in
part to starvation. The mortality from all causes on the roads
in Tirhoot, meanwhile, is said to be singularly small. Winn
the spring harvest, which now occupies certain districts, is
over, it is expected that there will be a large addition to the
number of people on the works.

The correspondent of the Daily Fetes, telegraphing on
Tuesday from Motharee, says :—“The outburst of distress in
Ramnugger has been mastered. I consider that Motharee will
be ensured against serious disaster if exertions continue a 3 at
present. There is bad news from Mudhobunee. 250,000 persons
(a third of the total population) are on the relief works.

Reuter’s telegraphic news, of Wednesday’s dat- 3 , from
Calcutta is that rain has fallen in Northern Bengal with bene¬
ficial effect; that charitable organisation is working efficiently
throughout Tirhoot and Chumparum ; and that the arrange¬
ments to meet the distress in other districts are likewise pro¬
ceeding well. The Durbhanga Railway will be completed this
mouth, thus greatly facilitating the transport of gram.

The Times' correspondent at Calcutta telegraphed on
Wednesday that the Ilattee planters reckon 500 deaths as
having occurred from disease and hunger. Relief is checking
the mortality. Hailstorms have grievously damaged the indigo
crop at Maidali. The tea manufacture in Cachar exceeds last
year’s production.

Important administrative changes have taken place at
Calcutta, Sir George Campbell’s health having compelled him
to send in his resignation. Sir Richard Temple will at once
succeed him. In the North-Western Provinces Sir John
Stracliey takes the place of Sir William Muir.

Indian news is this week diversified by the announcement
of a discovery 7 of coal at Darjeeling. A considerable quantity
lias been raised by the discoverers.

with that comitiy. At the instance ef my Government, the Imperial
authorities have eiven directions to the British Minister to discuss the
ul:uk* .subject with the Administration at Washington, aud have associated
with hnn lor tins purpose a Canadian Commissioner.

Gentlemen of tho House of Commons,—The accounts of tlie lost
11 nan cud year will be laid l»cforeyou,as well as a statement of receipts and
expenditures of the present year, at the earliest practicable period. I
regret to state that the receipts of the current year v ill not be sufficient

Honourable Gentlemen of the Senate and Gentlemen of the House of
Commons,—The combined ettortsof tho Dominion and Provincial Govern¬
ment to promote immigration have met with a reasonable measure of
success, thus adding a considerable number of desirable persons from
other countries to our mdnstrlal population. Notwithstanding the com-
mercial depression which, through exceptional causes, has prevailed to
some extent during the mst year, it is satisfactory to kniw that the
general prosperity will not thereby be seriously affected. 1 do not doubt

The roll of the Lords for this first Session of tho twenty-
first Parliament of tho United Kingdom shows that tho House

(described as tbe King of Hanover), and the Duke of
Cambridge)—2 Archbishops, 28 Dukes, 32 Marquises,
Earls, 37 Viscounts, 24 Bishops, and 195 Barons. This
enumeration is according to their real titles, and not according
to the title by which they hold their seats in Parliament. The
Duke of Argyll, for instance, is counted among the Dakea,
though he sits in Parliament only by virtue of being Baron
Sunondge. The total number of peers of the realm is 43-. there
being one vacancy caused by the death of Lord Blaynoy,
representative peer for Ireland. Seven years ago the total
number was but 463, and it was only 478 at this time last year*

these :—Edward Viscount Cardwell; Lord Enfield, sumoioned
as Baron Strafford in the lifetime of bis father, the Eirlof

ford; Thomas Francis (Fremantle), Baron Cottesloe ; Edmund,
Baron Hammond; John Somerset (Pakington), Baron Hampton;
and John (Wilson - Patten), Lord Winmarleigh, the junior

barons in virtue of dignities some years since called out of
abeyance, and now devolved upon male heirs—Edward
Southwell, Baron de Clifford, and diaries Edward Hastings,
Baron Botreaux, the third and the seventh on the list oi

Worcester was on Wednesday given up to rejoicing and
festivities in honour of the reopening of the cathedral, after
undergoing complete restoration and ornate embellishment at
the hands of Sir Gilbert Scott. The bu i lding has been under
the control of architects and others for twenty years, and
£1(I0,0C0 has been spent on it. The result is pronounced
satisfactory in the extreme. Two opening services were held
-at eleven a.m. and seven, p.m., at which some 590 clergy
i ttended, filling the choir, while the nave, aisles, and transepts
Mere crowded with the select of the laity, admission being oy
ticket. The Bishop of Worcester preached in the morning,
i nd the Bishop of Derry in the evening, The Mayor gave break-
sst to the Corporation and the Freemasons of the province,
-rnd the Dean and Chapter entertained many distinguished
\ isitors at the College Hall between the two services.

The Bishop of Chester has issued a pastoral, in w hich ho
urges the completion of the restoration of the cathedral as
worthy of a combined effort throughout the diocese, lie aay3 :
“ YYc have now entered on the sixth year of this work, which,
having been long acknowledged as obligatory and even neces¬
sary, was happily commenced at midsummer, 136S. In the
interval much heavy work, to an extent far beyond what in the
first instance was thought likely to be requisite, has been satis¬
factorily accomplished. All the foundations eastward from the
transept have been underpinned. The fourth side of the
cloisters has been replaced, in order to enable the north aisle of
the nave to sustain stone groining. The outer roof of the
entire length—nave, choir, and Lady chapel—has been entirely
i constructed ; a very important operation, the results of which
ordinary observers may find it hard to appreciate. The nave
has been greatly embellished, as well a3 substantially repaired,
by a moat satisfactory vaulted ceiling of wood, the only
material which the walla of the clerestory would bear. The
proposed improvements in the interior of the choir and in the
transepts, together with several minor restorations, must be
expected to occupy at least three years ; and, in addition to the
£55,000, of which £50,000 have been already expended,
£20,000 will be required.”

THE PEABODY DONATION FUND.

The follow ing is the report of the trustees for the year 1873
During the post year the trustees have received from Mr.
Peabody 's executors, in accordance with the terui3 of his will,
the sum of £150,000, so that the whole amount given .and
bequeathed by Mr. Peabody to the trustees is £509,000. To
this sum has been added, by receipts from rent and into
£78,059, making the total fund on Dec. 31 last £578,059. Xiu
trustees have expended up to tho close of the year, in laud aud
buildings, £300,0110-say, £102,090 for land aud £193,000 for
dwellings. Upwards of £63,090 of this sum is at prescut un¬
productive, im two sites aro not yet built upon, aud the
dwellings upcu two other sites aro not finished. The number of
familifs now in residence at the trustees’ buildings is 832, occu¬
pying 1875 looms. The average rout per room is 13 . 10J. par
wetk, and the average weekly earnings of the head of each
family is about £1 3s. lcL Although the cost of labour and
building material? is constantly increasing, the trustees have
not up to the present time advanced their rents, saving iuafow
exceptional instances; while at Shad well, where there is a large
mind cr of very poor people, the rents have been reduced, so
that Tho average p<_r room in those dwellings does not exceed
Is. Til. The rents have also been somewhat lowered at
Rdibgton. Since the issue of the report for 1872 the trustees
have purclmtfcd a site of about four and a half acres near
Grosvcnor-rc&d, Pimlico, and within a short distance of the
Victoria station. Two more blocks, for the accommodation of
forty-four families, Lave been built on the Biaekiriar3-road
estate, which will illicitly be opened, while sixteen' blocks, for
352 families, aie in coureeof erection on the site near Stamford-
strcct. The dwellings in the Blackfriars-roni arc so much
sought after that the trustees feel confident that the largo
number of tenements now being built by them on the south
side of the river will be easily filled. The trustees had hoped
to be able to open six new blocks of buildings at Barniondsey
in the month of October last ; but, owing to the tardiness of
the contractors, they are not yet completed. These blocks
will accommodate seventy-two families. The expenditure
during the year, for land aud buildings, exceeds £30,099, .and
tho income of the two trusts amounts to £12,973. The net
income derived from tho buildings is about 2^ per cent x>ar
annum upon the outlay. It should, however, ba stated that,
while on the first buildings the income is under 2 per cent, ou
those Lately erected at Blackfriars the return is over 4 per cent.

The annual conference of the Miners’ Amalgamated Asso¬
ciations began its sittings ou Tuesday, at Manchester, under tho
presidency of Mr. Thomas Ha’Jiday; and the desirability of
extending the operations of the union to Cornwall and Davon-
ehire was the subject of a resolution which w as passed unani¬
mously. The members have increased by 0969 m the last six
months, and noiv reach 106,383 ; hut the capital of tho asso¬
ciation lias decreased, owing to the necessity of having to sup¬
port 1000 men continually in connection with the Burnley lock¬
out and various strikes, and partly owing also to tho large siimi
which have been paid for tho defence of the officers of the union
at the Manchester Assizes on a charge of conspiracy. Oa
Wednesday Mr. Ualliday delivered an address on the present
position of affairs, and the future steps that should bo taken to

the collieries# if necessary, from the strike fund. Tho price of
coal is falling rapidly, and the question of a reduction of wages
at once was considered.

The strike of bricklayers’ labourers in Birmingham has put
a check to building o])eratioas in the town and neighbourhood.

The executive committee of the National Agricultural
Labourers’ Union met on Monday, in Leamington. The New¬
market delegate reported that there was no sign of a settlement
of the lock-out in the eastern counties ; 159 more men were
discharged on Saturday night in Suffolk, and altogether nearly
4000 aro on the union funds. The consultative committeo
adopted a resolution declaring the demands of the locked-out
labourers moderate and justifiable, and pledging themselves to
give them all possible assistance. Tuesday’s "meeting of the
jocked-cmt labourers at Newmarket was largely attended, and
Mr. Bailey, of Newcastle, who took the chair, strongly urged
the men to lcavo the neighbourhood if their requests were not
complied with.

A meeting of miners’ delegates from all districts iu Scot¬
land, representing nearly 22,090 men, was held in Glasgow on
Monday, to consider whether they should not follow the
example of the MaryhiU district, the men in which had agreed
to accept the reduction or 20 per cent. After a sitting of
mere than four hours it was agreed by a majority that those
who had notice of 20 per coat reduction should go in, and
that further reductions should be resisted. Mr. Macdonald,
M.P., in addressing those present, said it was a disgrace to the
nfinc-owners of Scotland that they had not met their men at a
board of mbitration, a3 bad been done in most parti of
England. The minen ou strike in tho west of Scotlaml hive
rejected the couniicd of their delegates to submit to a reduction
of 20 per cent in wages. So much dissatisfaction prevails
among the men that in one district a vote of censure was
passed on Air. Macdonald, ALP., for liis action in tho matter.

The Scotch miners at Balaclava, near JohnBtone, have
returned to work at 20 per cent reduction. The shale mon at
Inkermau have also resumed work. The miners of Clack¬
mannanshire are now iu every pit working at the masters*
reduction of 10 per cent. Coals nave been reduced in Alloa
tthd Clackmannan to 12b. per ton, and a further reduction ir
anticipated.

The coal and ironstone masters of Scotland met privately in
GktPgow, on Wednesday, and resolved that the furnaces which
me damped out, and which comprise three fourths of all iu
ScGland, shall not meanwhile be blown in. It was further
Agreed to intimate to tho coal aud ironstone miners a further
5 eduction of wages, in addition to tlia 29 per cent already
announced.

“ POLLICE VERSO.”

In this famous picture, by M. G4r6me, the eminent French
painter’s extraordinary power of vivid dramatic conception, his
great learning, and the not less astonishing artistic skill, pre¬
cision, and completeness with which he realises his conceptions
and presses his learning into service without pedantry, are all
displayed to perfection. The picture is built up so scrupulously
in accordance with classical authorities and antique remains
that, without any dubious hesitation and with little effort of
imagination, one may fancy a section of the old Roman Colos¬
seum brought bodily before the eye—one may fancy oneself in
the very arena, standing on the trampled, blood-stained sand,
close to the gladiatorial slaves butchering their fellow-slaves,
or being

Butcher'd to make a Roman holiday.

Immediately above us, ranged along the podium, are the
senators or other magnates and their wives or mistresses,
“ assisting,” as in a dress circle ; and to the left is the Emperor,
in his private box, so to speak, refreshing himself with choice
fruits, surrounded by a select suite; while beyond and above we
catch a glimpse of the multitudinous spectators of various
orders, who cccupy the vat cavea, and till the air with the
hum and inhuman shouts of eighty thousand voices. What an
insight into the true character of the old Roman Empire and its
civiTisation does not the picture afford ! The scene is like some
iineai tiled pandemonium. Happily there is nothing like it in
modern civilisation, unless it be that poor parody of the
Roman “ sports,” the Spanish bull-fight. For a parallel to tin
slaughter of the amphitheatre, which helped to support the
tyrant rule of terror of Imperial Rome, wo must look to the
Customs ” of Ashantee; and on some occasions parts of
the Eternal City must have resembled the charnel-house of
Coomaesie.

The picture wc engrave may be regarded as a sequel as well
as pendant to that equally famous work by M. Gerdmo, where a
grouped gladiators, marshalled by their “editor,” are paying
the customary salute to the Emperor. “ Ave, Ciesar Imperator,
morituri te salutant 1 ” There the conflict was about to com¬
mence ; here it is terminating. In both the combatants
are rctiarii and y cutorcs. The retiarius wore no body-armour,
Lut endeavoured to hamper liis antagonist with a net ( rele ,
whence his name) and then to close in with his three-pronged
fork or fuscina. If he failed with his net he lied to arrange liis
net for a new cast. The secutor, or pursuer, who took his
name from cpursuing his adversary, the retiarius, round the
arena, if the latter made an unsuccessful cast with his net, was,
ns we see, provided with sword and shield, and wore some
Jody armour. There are many points of dramatic invention in
the picture which intensify the horror of th9 incident depicted
and show the brutalising influence [of such exhibitions; but
upon these we have not space to dwell. It may bo observed,
liow ever, that two secutores liave already fallen, slain probably
i >y the retiarius, who now at length lies at the mercy of the
third secutor, whose foot is on his throat. But his bravery
avails him not: the appeal of his raised hand and extended
lingers for mercy is totally disregarded. Everywhere is given
the signal for him to be dispatched—i.e., the thumb is turned
down, cr reversed, ‘ ‘ polliee verso,” whence the title of the

I picture. Not a single hand is raised in his favour ; and,
)0 it observed, the Roman women are foremost in
their demonstrative thirst for blood. The utter apathy
and indifference of the Imperial party are still more
revolting. The Emperor scarcely deigns to turn his head as
he carries the fruit towards his |lips ; that large-limbed, low¬
browed beauty toys with her necklace, scarcely noticing the
tragedy beneath her. Etiquette forbids the condescension of
expie -ting any interest in the life of slave or plebeian ; the
[common spectacles of the arena can yield no interest to such
as these—they aic surfeited with the sight of blood. A little
later, a languid excitement may -perhaps be raised, when the
arena is filled with wild beasts preying on Christian martyrs.

Objections having been made to the title of this picture,
Mr. It. Hill Sandj's, in a communication to Notes and Queries,
points out that there is good authority for the word verso in
the sense in which M. GArflme has used it. “Juvenal, in liis
Third Satire, v. 36, in speaking bitterly of the alternating
profusion and meanness of the rich upstarts and contractors of
Rome, says—

Munera nunc edunt, ct verso police vulgi,
tjuera libefc occldunt popul&riter: inde reversl
L'lmducunt foricas, Ac

And it is manifest that, in whatever way some may have inter¬
preted the passage, the whole force of it—the aggravation of
the power of life or death conferred by ineau hands—is gone
unless the words in question are taken to express the death-
signal, the thumb versa —that, is, in the fatal direction, or
-downwards. ”

LIFE-BOAT SERVICES.

A meetinp of the Royal National Life-Boat Institution was
held, on Thursday wpes, at its house, John-street, Adelphi—
Mr. Thr mas Chapman in the chair. Mr Richard Lewis, the
secretary, having read the minutes of the previous meeting,
rew’ards to the amount of £194 were granted to the crews of
differ cut life-boats for services rendered dor iug the past month.
The Wells lfic-boat had saved the crew’of live men from ths
schooner Marie, of St. Valery-en-Caux, which w'as wrecked at
elL East IV int, n a ga'e from the north-east and a heavy sea.
The Scnton C'arew 1 c-hoit had brought ashore eleven of the
ciew of the steauer Banborough, of North Shields, stranded
at the mouth of the Te ;a iu a gale of wiud and a high sea,
accompanied by *no>v »h >wera. The North Deal life-boat had
lasted to save the schooner Eliza Cornish, of Sunderland,
wh:ch l ad driven on the Goodwin Sands in a heavy sea. The
Sktgncis life-boat had also rendered assistance to the
distressed sloop New Eagle, of Grimsby, and the Girvan life¬
boat had saved the crew* of three men of the schooner Industry,
of Girvan, wrecked on the bar off that place, a shore-boat having
previously failed in an effort to get oil* through the surf to the
rescue of the shipwrecked men. The second-service clasp of
the institution was votetyto Air. William Taylor, chief ofiicer
of her Majesty's CoastguaA at Dunny Cove, in the county of
Coik, in acknowledginenfcjtr his gallant services in putting off
in the C oastguurd gig ana assisting to save the crew' of seven

t ther rewards were also granted to the crow's of shore-boats for
caving life from wrecks on our coasts. Payments to the
* mount of £ 60 were likew so ordered to bo made on different
iitc-loat esta 1 shments. Various con ibutions and legacies to
the society wore announced. New life-boats had been sent to

How soberly Good Friday is observed by Londoners may
be imagined (a correspondent of the Pall Mali Gazelle observes)
when one tobacco manufacturer received au order for 2 cwt. of

amount of beer must have been required to moisten such a con¬
sumption of tobacco !

A correspondent of the Times complains that those who

Marble Arch to Apsley House. Why should we not have
plenty of sweet peas, mignonette, Italian honeysuckle, verbena,
wallflowers, lilac, sweetbrier, and .Scotch, rosea ?

The fifth annual conference of the National Union of
Elementary Teachers has been held this week ; and on Tuesday
evening, at the close of the second day's proceedings, upwards
of 300 members of the conference, embracing teachers from all
parts of England and deputations from Scotland and Ireland,
dined together in the large room of the Cannon-Btreet Hotel.
The chair was occupied by Mr. H. S. Moore, of the British
School, Cheltenham, president for the year. He was supported
by Sir James Kay-Shuttlcworth ; Mr. Currie, vice-chairman of
the London School Board ; past presidents of the union, in¬
cluding Mr. T. Smith, of Marylebone, and Mr. VV. Osborne, of
York ; and Mr. J. H. Devonshire, of Loudon, the elected pre¬

Last week 20S6 births and 1319 deaths were registered in
London. After making due allowance for increase of popula¬

numbers in the corresponding week of the last ten year 3 . The
annual death-rate from all causes, which in the two preceding
weeks had been equal to 25 and 23 per 1000, farther declined
last week to 21. The 1349 deaths included 51 from measles,
11 from scarlet fever, 6 from diphtheria, 54 from whooping-
cough, 30 from different forms of fever, 11 from diarrhoea, and
not one from smallpox ; thus to the seven principal diseases of
the zy motic class 163 deaths were referred, against 1S2 and 170
in the two preceding weeks. The deaths referred to diseases
of the respiratory organs and phthisis, which in the two
previous weeks had been 649 and 551, further declined last
week to 489, and were 126 below the corrected average weekly
number : 200 resulted from bronchitis, 159 from phthisis, and
93 from pneumonia. Different forms of violence caused 48
deaths : o3 were the result of no^igence or accident, including
16 from fractures and contusions,"! from burns ami scalds, 2
from drowning, and 12 from suffocation, including 10 of infants
under one year of age. Five cases of infanticide, four of
suicide, and one of manslaughter were registered. Four of the
deaths from fractures and contusions resulting from negligence
or accident were caused by horses or vehicles "iu the streets.

Without ccremonv of any kind, but in a practical, business¬
like way, the Exhibition at South Kensington was, on Monday,
opened to tlio public. At ten o’clock the turnstiles were un¬
locked to commence the clicking that was to last nearly all day
as holiday visitors streamed in to push their way through the
long winding alleys, galleries, and corridors. First among those
who entered was Mr. Homy Cole, G.B., who, with a few of the
directors who chanced to be present, comprised all that gave
even a semblance of officialism to the beginning of the season
of 1874. The present display iududes three grand divisions—
Fine Arts, Manufactures, aud Inventions—which are subdi¬
vided into classes, whereof the fine arts have seven; manu¬
factures six ; aud inventions, one ; these classes being separable
when necessary into sub classes. The term “Fine Aria ” is
used in its most comprehensive sense, and, music excepted,
cmbiaies everything from oil paiutings and sculpture to carpets,
shaw Is, and lace. In the list of manufactures represented by

machinery, substances, or processses, are lace-making, civil aud
mechanical engineering, heating by all methods and kinds of
fuel, leather, including saddlery and harness, bookbinding, aud
foreign wines ; while the siug’c class of inventions coinpre-
hensively takes in new discoveries of everv description. Tiio
Exhibition will now lie open to the public daily at one shilling
admission, except on 'Wednesdays, when the charge will be
half a crowm.

The Metropolitan Board of Works has decided upon the
following alterations in the names of streets and numbering of

Tire Bod on (U.S.) Globe publishes the following abstract
of Mr. Sumner’s will “In September, 1S72, just before Mr.
Simmer left for Europe, he wrote in liia own hand his will II:
bequeathed all his papers, manuscripts, and letterbooks to
Henry AY. Longfellow, Francis V. Balch, and Edward L Pierce,
as truttees ; all his bocks and autographs to the library of
Harvard College; his bronzes to hri friends of many years,
Henry W. Longfellow and Dr. Samuel G. Howe. Ho
gives to the city of Boston, for the Art-Museum, his pic¬
tures and engravings, except the picture of 4 The Miracle of
the Slave,’ which he bequeaths to his friend, Joseph B.
Smith, of Boston. To Mrs. Hannah Richmond Jacobs, the
only surviving sister of his mother, lie gives an annuity of
COO dels. There is a bequest of 2000 dols. to the daughters ot
Henry W. Longfellow, 2000 dols. to the daughters of 13 r° .Samuel
J. Howe, and 2000dels, to the daughters o? James T. Fdrnoss,

Mrs. Julia Hastings, of San Francisco, California; the other
moiety to the President and Fellows of Harvard, in tru'd, far
the benefit of the college library, the income to be applied to
the purchase of books.

Mr. Baxter, M.P., in addressing his constituents at Arbroath
on Monday evening, remarked that the new Ministry acceded
to cilice at a happy juncture and under auspicious circum¬
stances. As yot no cloud, however small, appeared ou the
horizon all the various branches of industry—agricultural,
commercial, and manufacturing—were fairly prosperous ; pau¬
perism continued steadily to decrease; and year by year the
vanous classes of the community were drawing more together;
political antipathies were becoming less violent, and men of all
parties \ led with each ether in endeavouring to lesson or remove
evils which were more or less incidental to *a high state
of civil*atiorn Our relations to the United .States—thanks to
the Alabama treaty and other just and sensible aots—had
entered upon an entirely new phase, and for constant bickering
theie had been substituted a feeling so frieudiy that, for ths
first time since the declaration of American independence, not
a word was said against Great Britain at the last Presidential
election. Then, on the continent of Europe the territorial
arrangements of 1S15, made solely in the interests of Kings
aud petty potentates, had given place to more stable boundary
lines, based on nationalities, and dictated, not by the Princes,
but by the people. There was a powerful and united
Germany, able to protect itself and repress with a firm hind
the restless ambition of France. There ivas also a free Italy,
w bich looked upon this country as its best friend ; and there¬
fore, instead of conflicts at homo and rumours of war abroad,
w e might reasonably look, forward to the enjoyment of a period
free from serious trouble.

NEW BOOKS.

The Russian conquests in Central Asia, which have alarmed
British diplomacy for the outer military defences of India in
Afghanistan, deserve our careful study. One of the most use¬
ful contributions to a more exact knowledge of this important
subject is furnished by Captain H. Spalding, F.R.G.S., an
accomplished master of the languages and contemporary history
of several foreign nations. He 1ms now translated from the
Russian, what appears rather like a semi-official treatise upon
Khiva and Tur foxtail, which seems to have been published
about a tw elvemonth ago, just before the expedition of General
Kaufmann against the Khan of Khiva. Captain Spalding, in
the few observations of hiB brief preface to this very service¬
able English version, takes a calm and impartial view of the
conduct" of the Russian Empire. This he is not prepared cithor
wholly to condemn, or to justify in every act and pretext, with
regard to its large territorial annexations within tho past
twenty-five years. The officially instructed Russian author, of
the narrative of those transactions here presented lias no in
tention or occasion, writing probably for his ow*n country¬
men, to show a moral justification of liis Government. It is
enough that tho Aral, as well as tho Caspian, lias been
made a Russian lake, and the Sir Daria or Sihun,. the
ancient Jaxartes, lias become littlo else but a Russian river.
At the same time, we observe that Samarcand, the famous old
commercial city of Turkestan, has been added to the Czar’s
dominions; while the two khanates of Khokan and Bokhara
have been reduced to dependence, and will fall to the same
vast empire by speedy reversion. Tho motive originally
pleaded for commencing these foroiblo extensions of Russian
rule was the lawless predatory incursions of the Turcomans,
who are described as robbers, kidnappers, and slave-traders by
profession. They are said to have been constantly doing harm
among tho pastoral Kirghiz tribes subject to the Czar, as well
as in tho Persian provinces of Ivhorassan and Seistan. There
is sufficient evidence, wc believe, of these inveterate and in¬
tolerable practices ; and we also believe that the Mohammedan
rulers of Turkestan were never able to cheek them. But if
the Russian conquest of the steppe, with that object, was
necessarily supported by the acquisition of military posts on the
&ir Dario, it is not so apparent that the overthrow of tho Turkish
principalities, feeble and ill-ordered as they were, came within
the requirements of an equitable policy. The reader may form
his own opinion from this book, comparing its statements with
thoF.e of several other publications, including Professor
Ysmbery’s essays on Centred Asia , -which have recently been
published for English perusal. In the work translated by
Captain Spalding will be found the best descriptive account
vet given of Khiva and its different races of people ; while
Vamfcery has told us more of Bokhara. Tho character, habits,
manners, and condition of the Turkoman raoe in general, and
the physical aspect of the region called Turkestan, where they
Lave dwelt so many ages under native or foreign dynasties, are
quite woithy of attention. In the conn try around Khiva,
south of the Aral Lake, a feature of much geographical interest is
the liver Amou Daria, the Oxus, which formerly had its lower
ccurseto thew estward, flowinginto the Caspian, instead of taking
its present northward direction to the Aral. The proposal to
restore the old watercourse by clearing out and reopening tho
dry bed of the river, which is COO versts, or nearly 530 miles, in
length, is said to be free from aiiy great practical difficulties.
We find in* the singular physical configuration of this region,
between the Caspian and the Aral, and farther east to the Pamir
table-land, connecting the Hindoo Koosh with the Thian-Shan
mountains, a highly interesting subject considered as matter of
uatu ral science. Those who prefer anecdotes of the householdlifo
ar.dperionMbchaviourof a strange, half-barbarous Asiaticuation,
w here the ingrafted religion and morality of Islam found a ruder
and harsher native character to grow in, than among the Arabs
su.d Persians, will be equally mtortamed by reading this
volume. The narrative of General Pcroffski’s unsuccessful
expedition against Khiva in 1840 will engage the student of
military history, and will be a nseful preparation for that of
General Kauffman's more effectual campaigulast summer. The
excellent map of Central and Western Asia prefixed to this
volume is alone worth the price of tho book, for no such com¬
plete and minute delineation of that region can elsewhere be
piocured, in a convenient form, to meet tho wants of English
readers. Captain Spalding has done them a substantial service
by his English version of a very instructive work.

A deeply interesting, affecting, but at the same tune sicken-
irg, narrative is brought to its climax and conclusion in the
third nud fourth volumes of History of Two Queens, by William
Ikpworth Dixon (Hurst and Blackett). The two Queens, it
will, no doubt, be remembered, are Catherine of Aragon, and
Anne Boleyn. When the first two volumes were noticed, due
attention was drawn to the reasons—based chiefly upon the
fact that many perfectly new and original sources of informa¬
tion had been consulted—why the author was quite justified in
rc -writing that which, as regards its most prominent features,
is a far irom. unfamiliar portion of English history. Acknow¬
ledgment also was made of the pains taken and the elaborate
care bestowed upon details, down to a statement of authorities
relied upon and an index for the facilitation of reference, in
order to arrive as nearly as possible at completeness ; and the
acknowledgment lias to bfe repeated on the present occasion.
Repeated, too, most be some remarks which seemed to bo
applicable to Die style. It is not the true historical style,
simple, unaffected, and yet grand, pathetic, tender, and
strilving, whenever it should be so, merely from spontaneous
inspiration derived from the very nature of the facts recorded ;
it is the studiously and pretentiously ornate style. The
writing is, undoubtedly, effective and picturesque ; but some¬
times, not to say very often, the reader is, for that very cause,
liable to be led away by contemplation of the writer's manner
from consideration of his matter. A similar blemish, if it be a
blemish, for modem taste may decide to the contrary, is ob¬
servable in tho divisions of the volumes and in the headings of
the divisions and of the chapters : instead of the sober, straight¬
forward metnocl of history we have tho ad captandam arts of
the three-volume novel. “ May-day dream," “ a declaration,”
-‘the response,” “forward!” “sword and block,” “stroke aud
stroke ” “agony,” and the like, placed at the top of various
charters, savour far more of the tricks whereby the
novelist seeks to administer a fillip to Hagging attention
than of the plain indications whereby a grave historian
marks liis pi ogress from point to point until he reaches
the end of Ins task. However, these are trivial things, worthy
enough of passing notice, but utterly unworthy to be dwelt
upon when, to set against them, there is a really valuable work
ol extraordinary interest and, for the most part, exceedingly
readable. Tho sunshine with which the two former volumes
concluded does not penetrate far into the two latter, which, are
lighted up, indeed, by fitful gleams, bnt, so far as the two poor
quit ns are concerned, are pervaded generally by domestic
glttm. The idolised Catherine, when hope after hope of a son
nosbeen ciushed, is shown sinking to the condition, or, at any
rale, the repute, of the “ concubine ” who mu t be discarded ;
and scarcely i r.s she been succeeded in her slippery eminence
by Anne Bolcyn, when we see the apparition of Jane Seymour

coming to displace the latter. The two doleful tragedies are
dramatically handled ; and the love-passages between Anne
Boleyn and Thomas Wyat, the poet, are gracefully ami plea¬
santly introduced and dealt with. Those who wish t> see
Henry VIII. whitewashed in respect of the “two queens” must
have recourse to some other historian.

THE MAGAZINES FOR APRIL.

The Cornhill has no very special claim to attention thi* month
beyond an able summary of Livingstone’s caroer by a fellow-
traveller, the Rev. H. Rowley, who accompanied the Uni¬
versity Mission expedition. Livingstone's habits anl character,
Mr. Rowley thinks, by no means qualified him to lead a large
body of men, or to organise an enterprise on an extensive scale.
The writer’s personal experience of him, accordingly, was com¬
paratively unfavourable ; but this does not impair his estimate
of the grandeur, originality, and utility of the renowned tra¬
veller’s career regarded as a whole. It is amusing to learn
that Livingstone felt disappointment at not being knighted.
The idea of conferring this particular honour upon a missionary
will be new' to most peopje. 1 * Ear from the Madding Cro wd ”
is continued in its accustomed vein, and Miss Thackeray treats
us to another of her pretty modem versions of fairy tales—
“The White Cat”—in which, however, the resemblance to the
prototype is less accurate than usual. An essay on _ Mrs.
Browning containr some sound criticism, but omits to refer to
tko3o fatal flaws in rhyme and diction which mar her best
w'ork so seriously, and will be found, in the long run, to hav e
condemned much to oblivion that might and ought to have
been durable.

The contents of Fraser are varied and interesting, including
an able article on the prese nt conflict between Church aud
State in Germany, a valuable account of the telegraphic branch
of the postal service, and a thoughtful essay by Professor
Newman on the efforts of ancient Greece to obtain political
unity. Illdey is the “old Yorkshire village” w'hoso “ J "o-
mance,” especially a 3 it relates to popular superstitions, is so
pleasantly told by Mr. M. D. Conway. A somewhat similar
sketch ot old-world manners is conveyed in Mr. King’s recol¬
lections and traditions of old-fashioned Dartmoor parsons.
“General” Cluseret’s narrative of the ecclesiastical squabbles
in Switzerland is extremely dry and tedious, but off’era one
useful generalisation—“ Ulfcrainontanism is in inverse propor¬
tion to the fervour of the populations. ”

The writer of “ Alice Lorraine ” in Blackwood is determined
to pique our curiosity to the uttermost; the astrologer s mys¬
terious bequest is actually in his heroine’s grasp, but she and
we arc as yet ignorant of its nature. “ Disorder in Dream¬
land” is founded on the whimsical notion of two dreams dis¬
patched for the admonition of mortals respectively going astray
and becoming established in the wrong heads. This curious
fancy is worked out with much humour. Blackwood's natural
exultation at the Conservative victory is tempered by the
judicious reflection that “in the new constituencies there i3 a
large mass of unattached voting power w hich owes no party alle¬
giance,” wherefore “we may expect to see the ship of State
lurch more readily and thoroughly in time to come than in
time past.” The naval officer’s diary from Ashantee is less
valuable as a chronicle of the expedition than as an exhibition
of the prevalent feeling of those who participated in it.

Macmillan has one very substantial paper, Mr. Albert
Dicey’s thoughtful discussion of tho proposed reforms of our
judicial system, and a number of slight ones, among which
“The Philology of Slang” deserves especial mention. Tho
Mendelssohn correspondence is continued, as also the lettors
from Spain, which comprise an interesting description of
Murillo’s hnu»o. “Castle Daly” is epirited and thoroughly
Irish. Mr. Myers’s lines on TenerifFe arc steeped in gorgeous
colour, but the artifice of diction is too apparent.

The j Fortnightly is solid and rather heavy, even its solitary
contribution to belles letfcres, Mr. Pater’s essay on Wordsworth,
rquiring very close reading. Mr. Morley, in his trenchant
attack on “ compromise,” appears to us to confound two very
different things—M. Rdnan's utterly condemnablc conception
of truth as the property of an enlightened caste, by whom
ignorance is designedly fostered as tho suitable condition of the
multitude, and the moderation which, while never acquiescing
in compromise as a permanent arrangement, is content to accept
it provisionally, as a stepping-stone to better things. Without
committing himself to a positive opfinion, Dr. MauJsley
evidently thinks that the intellectual cultivation of women is
being carried to a point at which it threatens to become
injurious to their physical welfare. The principal impression
which wc derive from Mr. Colvin’s paper on the Indian famine
is one of the extreme uncertainty of all data on the subject,
and the consequent claim of the Indian Government to indul¬
gence, should it prove to have been in some respects mistaken.

The Contemporary is as copious aud interesting as usual,
although the former epithet is more appropriate than the latter
to Mr. R. H. Horne’s discussion of his own metrical theories
under colour of publishing hi3 correspondence with Mrs.
Browning. Archbishop Manning contends that the Ultra¬
montane dogma is as much maintained by Protestants as by
Catholics, a dictum to which w r e shall subscribe w hen we find
Protestants claiming for the Church the right not merely of
enunciating propositions in faith and morals, but of “defining
the limits of her jurisdiction.” Dr. Bastian concludes his
appeal to evolutionists to embrace the doctrine of spontaneous

f eneration as a logical deduction from their own principles.

lr. Ralston contributes a graceful paper on “ Russian Idylls,”
with renderings of some very beautiful passages in elegaut
rhythmical prose. Mr. Haweis mars what might have been a
fitting and seasonable tribute to the late lamented Emanuel
Deutsek by dwelling on the grievances of the deceased against
the authorities of the British Museum, which seem to have
been of the most trivial character. The only one not utterly
below the dignity of history is that a “lveeperahip of Semitic
Antiquities” w'as not specially created in Mr. Deutsch’s favour.
It would havo been necessary to have first created the
antiquities, which are, unfortunately, less abundant in Great
Russell-street than In Houndsditch.

The best contribution to a good number of Scribner*8
Monthly is a continuation of the beautifully-illustrated series
on American topography. Virginia is this time the subject;
the account of the resources ol the country and of tho rela¬
tions of the white aud coloured inhabitants is as encouraging
as tlat lately given of Louisiana w as tho reverse. Mias Beedy,
e mpaling the health and physical habits of Euglisb aud
Amtrioru women, acknowledges the superiority of tho former
n both respects, but considers that they exhibit less power of
I earing up against pain and sickness. The back, we must sup¬
pose, is ad spited to the burden.

The Transatlantic offers, as usual, a good selection from
various quarters, the most interesting paper being General
Sherman’s narrative of his fruitless endeavour to suppress the
vigilance committee, as commander of the Californian militia,
in 1850’.

The most interesting contribution to the Month is an
amusing expostulation with Mr. Cap>es on his return to the
Church of England. The reverend gentleman, it appears, has
unadvisedly left “aland flowing with milk and honey” for
“a barren and dry* land where no water is ; ” he cannot, there¬
fore, be accused of hankering after the fleshpots of Egypt, at
any rate.

In addition to its trio of novels, Tinsley has a very interest¬
ing notice of the recent edition of Ckattortou by Mr. Skeat,
who has done much to restore the beauty of tho Rowley
poems by modernising the spelling, a curious but legitimate
inversion of the usual modus operandi of antiquarian editors.

Tho most noticeable paper in Belgravia is Mr. Sala'a sketch
of Jhe caricaturist Gilray.

In London Society we remark Mr. Hatton’s tribute to the
memory of Shirley Brooks ; Mr. O’Shaughnessy’s Portraits
Charmauts, with its brilliant Moorish pictures; and Miss
Beale’s essay on amatcurship, with its shrewd observation that
tho only amateur who, having once made a hit, was ever
known to leave off is the “ Amateur Casual”

In the Cattleman's Magazine wo have especially to note
the continuation of Mr. Francillon’s “Olympia,” an eloquent
though somewhat crude essay on Shelley’s “Prometheus
Unbound;” an article on the Tichbome trial, lively enough to be
interesting after all that has been said on this exhausted topic ;
and the first of a very promising series of Parliamentary
sketches. The writer is mistaken in regarding “Bezouian”
as a proper name.

Chief among the multifarious contents of tho Popular
Science He view are articles on gigantic cuttle-fish, the pulse-
recorder, the field telegraph, sidelights on the potato disease,
air beneath the microscope, and tlie transmission of sound
by the atmosphere ; the Victoria Magazine prints a full report
of the recent discussion on Spiritualism before the Victoria
Discussion Society; Good Words has a fine tribute to Living¬
stone by Sir Bartle Frere; aud tlio Sunday Magazine a beau¬
tiful sonnet signed Caroline North.

The New Quarterly assumes fully as peculiar a place among
magazines from the style of publication as from the mode of
issue. The contributions are nearly all distinguished by
sterling merit, while at tho same time presenting a decidedly
amateujish air. Mr. Latouche’s tour in Portugal abounds with
interesting information ; tho editor’s essay on Blake, plain and
sensible in intention and execution, yet manifests no incon¬
siderable power of sympathy with the mystical temperament ;
and Mr. Freke Turner’s paper on the wine trade affords
abundant proof of a practical acquaintance with the subject.

NATIONAL SPORTS.

\Yc have now commenced the racing season in earnest, and
during the past w eek something like thirty meetings have taken
place in different parts of England. Of course most of these
were very insignificant; but one or two demand a passing
notice. The repeal of the law' against two-year-olds running
before May 1 has been signalised by tho restoration of the
Althorp Park Stakes to tfce Northampton Meeting, and the
fixture proved very successful Cashmere, the winner of the
Brocklcsby Stakes, won the chief two-year-old event pretty
easily, in spite of her penalty ; but, as Slumber gave her 261b.
and a bead beating in the Whittlebury Stakes, she is not likely
to show to much advantage later in the season, when some of
the crack youngsters make their appcaranco. The Great
Northamptonshire Stakes—“ great ” only in name—brought six
to the post, and proved an easy victory for Gleueaglc (5 st. 121b.),
who was tho least fancied of the half-dozen runners. Lilian
(1> st. 3 lb.) obtained her old position of third, and will probably
win a good race w hen she lias not quite so much weight. In tho
Trial htakes Winslow, the best Lord Cliidon that lias yet run,
showed that he retained all his brilliant speed; and Quautock,
a greatly-improved colt since last year, won a couple of races
for M r. Pigott. There were two fair days'sport at Durham,
the meat interesting event being the Lambton Stakes, in w hich
Organist extinguished the City and Suburban prospects of the
M.. s Hawthorn colt, by giving him 161b. and au easy beating.

The ccntest for the Public Schools Racket Challenge Cup w as
commenced at Prince’s Club, Chelsea, on Tuesday last. Two
representatives had been chosen from each of tho eight schools,
ar.d each match w as the best of Beven games. Harrow (C. W.
Middleton-Kcmp and F. D. Leyland) and Cheltenham (E. 3.
Browne and G. C. Pakenham) wore the first to enter the lists.
Harrow obtained possession of the Last challenge cup by
winning it three years in succession, and her representatives
had not much difficulty in disposing of Cheltenham by four
games to ono. Wellington (J. W. Dosdale and R. B. Stuart)
then beat Hailey bury (S. Snow and B. Stephenson) bv
four games to three, after a hard struggle. Marlborough
(F. H. Lee and A. K. Buttoworth) beat Eton (Hon. A.
Lyttelton and II. E. Whitmore) by four games to two ; and
Rugby (F. W. Heather raid G. F. Vernon) could not win a
single game acainsb Winchester (H. 1>. Holiing and II. R.
Webbe). On Wednesday the first ties were commenced, and,
chiefly owing to tho fine service of Middleton-Kcmp, Harrow
beat Marlborough by four games to none. The match between
Winchester and Wellington was equally hollow, the former
W'inning four games in succession. The final match between
Harrow and Winchester took place on Thursday, when tho
Harrovians proved successful for the fourth time.

A football-match between picked teams of London and
Sheffield was played at Bramhall-lane, Sheffield, on Saturday
last, and resulted in the defeat of the visitors by four goals to
two. This was the third contest this season between tho same
clubs, and the Sheffield men have w on twice, and made a tic of
it on the third occasion.

Mr. Arthur Pease, Mayor of Darlington, on Wednesday,
laid the foundMion-stone of the chapel of a cemetery, which
will cost £20,000. The cemetery, which has been presented to
the town, is one of the many benefactions of the Messrs. Poaao,
who are owners of large mining properties in Durham and
Cleveland. The gift has chiefly been resolved upon in con¬
sequence of a wish of the late Mr. Joseph Pease, the father of
the donors, that the working classes should not be compelled to
make their interments at such a great distance, entailing heavy
costs and inconvenience.

The figure of a man, 230 feet long, traced on the side ot .Vil-
mington-hill, w’hich attracts so much attention on the South
Coast line of railway leading to Hastings, It^l its outline
completely restored. Tho figure is of great aminuity ; but its
date, origin, or purpose cannot be traced. Hitherto the outline
has been marked by simply cutting the turf away and exposing
the chalk beneath, but it is now shown by the insertion of
white bricks in the space, thus preventing the linos from be¬
coming obliterated. The “ Long Man,” as it is locally termed,
is represented as holding a staff in each hand, the distance
between them being 119 It. The Duke of Devonshire, on whoso
ground the figure is delineated, has greatly assisted the work.

THE LATE SIR W. BODKIN.

The death of this gentleman, who had retired
very lately from the office of Assistant Judge
of the Middlesex Quarter Sessions, has been
mentioned in our Journal. He was above eighty
years old. His father, Mr. Peter Bodkin, was
one of a family long connected with the county
of Galway. The late Judge was bom in the
year 1791, and was educated in London. He
was called to the Bar by the Honourable
Society of Gray’s Inn in 1820. During several
years he went the Home Circuit, practising
largely in criminal matters at the Middlesex,
Westminster, and Kentish Sessions, and also
at the Central Criminal Court. He held for
some years the Becordcrship of Dover. At
the general election in 1S41 lie was returned to
Parliament, in the Conservative interest, as the
colleague of Mr. J. Stoddart Douglas, in the
representation of Rochester, defeating Lord
Melguml (now Earl of Minto) by the narrow
majority of two votes. He was defeated at
the next general election (in 1S47), the two
scats for Rochester being gained by Mr. Bernal
and Mr. Twisden Hodges. Ho was one of the
earliest members of the Society of Arts, of
which he was a vice-president. He wrote a
pamphlet, published in 1821, on subjects con¬
nected with the administration of the poor-
law system. He was a Bencher of Gray’s Inn
and a deputy*lieutenant of Middlesex, and
received the honour of knighthood in 1SG7,
some years after taking his seat upon the
judicial bench at the Middlesex Sessions
House. It will be remembered that Sir William,
who suffered from a painful malady, resi^ u d
his office some weeks ago, and was sneer s k '

ASHANTEE WAE.

Or ..ore View of Caps (.’oast Castle is pre-
cd in our Journal of this week. It is the
,ew from Macarthy Hill, on the north-east
side of the tow n. This high ground is ono of
the healthiest places in the neighbourhood.
Here w as the principal hospital, and the chap¬
lain, the Rev. Stewart Patterson, had his tent
pitched here. The fiat-topped hill to the right
is Connor’s Hill, likewise a sanitarium. Fort
Victoria and Fort William, upon their respective
eminences in the background, arc seen in the
middle of the view, directly opposite the
spectator, looking across the valley. To the
left, upon a long ridge sloping down towards
the sea, is the town of Caps Coast Castle,
in which the most conspicuous buildings are
the Wesleyan chapel, the Post Office, and
the Episcopalian church. The la3t-mentioned
church was turned into an hospital, and the
chaplain used to perform Divine service in the
Wesleyan chapel, attended by Sir Garnet
Wolseley and his staff when at Cape Coast
Castle. Farther to the left hand, and close
to the sea, is the Castle or Government House,
with its batteries and barracks. In the road¬
stead outside, a mile or mile and a half from
shore, lie several of our ships—the Active,
under Commodore Hewett, the Druid, the
Argus, and the Decoy, a ^un-boat; lastly, the
troop-ship Sarmatian, which took out to the
Gold Coast one of the gallaut regiments that
were to capture Coomassie. Two of the minor
incidents on the inland march of Sir Garnet’s
little army find their representation in the
smaller Engravings, which are, like the view
of Cape Coast Castle, from Sketches by our
Special Artist. The arrival in camp of a
inissionaly, who had been detained by the
Ashantees in captivity, is shown in one scene ;
this story has been told on a former occasion.
The other sketch is that of a night alarm from
the breaking down of a bough of the tree
above the roof of a hut which. sheltered a
travelling party. They fled in great dismay,
ami their rest was disturbed for that night
without relief or remedy; but the accident
had no more serious consequences. Wo may
here again remind our readers of the publi¬
cation entitled ** From Cape Coast to Coomassie,
an Illustrated History of the Ashantee War,”
in which they will find many of the Engravings
from our Special Artist’s sketches, collected
and reprinted, with the only complete nar¬
rative of the late campaign that lias yet been
•written.

JAPANESE DANCING GIRL.

Though female actors do not usually take part
in Japanese theatrical performances of the dra¬
matic kind, the exhibition of female dancers is
common. Little girls of five or six years were
formerly purchased for this trade by the
managers of such entertainments, to whom
they were sold by their mercenary or needy
parents. The manager was bound to teach and
train the girls, and to maintain them in his
service till they were twenty-five or thirty
years of age, when they became free. In the
Illustration we have engraved, one of these
young people is seen practising her stops and
gestures w ith the fan, to the accompaniment of
a guitar played by the other girl. This occu¬
pation, being fairly profitable and agreeable to
the popular taste, is not likely to be dis¬
continued. But, among the legal and social
reforms that have taken place in Japan during
the last two or three years, wo hoar of the
abolition of the law which used to permit the
sale of girls. The yoshiwarras, or licensed
establishments where they were kept, had be¬
come places of scandalous license, which had

LAW AND POLICE.

Application for another trial has been made
to the Home Secretary in the case of Arthur
Orton; and the reply has been that legal
grounds for a new hearing must be stated by
the prisoner’s attorney before the question can

be entertained.-The committee appointed

by the Benchers of Gray’s Inn havo notified to
Dr. Kenealy that they will, on the lfith
proximo, investigate the circumstances con¬
nected with his conduct of the defence Is
Tichborne trial. He will be examiorJ ••
ten so, and the inquiry will be condr • - J • l t h

closed doors.-At a meeting of Members

of the bar of the Oxford < ; -ac, held at
Gloucester, on Thursday w<v >, it W as decided
to exclude Dr. Keneat>. is a member of
the circuit, from th* . ».v ^ncss.

Damages in Urn jum of £50, the amount
having be- ’ T at £2000, were given by an
Ipswick , ,o the Rev. Dr. Ashley, Curate
of l-hi* i jvm, against Mr. Frederick Howard,
• • “ for an assault.

e Mayor, Aldermen, and Corporation of
Winchester obtained, on Wednesday, at the
Liverpool Assizes, by agreement, a verdict for
£6000 damages from.Mr. W. Crippin, pro¬
prietor of the Bryn Hall Colliery, near Wigan,
for the non-delivery of a large quantity of gas
coals which the defendant had contracted to
supply them with.

Messrs. F. and R. Powell, who formerly
carried on in Eristol a large business as ale
and porter merchants, on Wednesday brought
an action to recover £10,000 damages from the
West-of-Engl5hd and South Wales District
Bank. In January, 1872, the plaintiffs had in
the bank £200 to meet an account due to a
Dublin firm for which they were agents, but
this sum was by mistake debited with cheques
drawn by another firm of a similar name.
When the agent of the Dublin firm presented
the plaintiffs’ cheque he was told there was no
money to meet it, and, as the result, the
Dublin agency, worth several hundreds a year,
was witlulrawn, and within a twelvemonth the
plaintiffs were declared insolvent, entirely, as
they alleged, through the error committed by
the defendants. The jury found for the
plaintiffs, damages £200.

At the Central Criminal Court, on Tuesday,
James Iiiulsey, a law clerk, pleaded guilty to
embezzling and stealing money to the amount
in all of nearly £2000, belonging to his em¬
ployers, Messrs. Jones and Arkcoll, solicitors,
m Tooley-street, in whose service he had been
for over nine years as cashier and accountant.
The Recorder sentenced him to seven years’
penal servitude. In the Common Serjeant’s
Court Benjamin Lee, a Post Office telegraph
boy, pleaded guilty to a charge of obtaining 5s.
by false pretences. The prisoner went to the
house of Baroness Burdett-Ooutts with a pre¬
tended telegraphic message, which turned out
to be entirely fictitious, and received 5s., the
supposed Post Office charge for this message.
It was stated that the friends of the prisoner
had made arrangement to send him abroad.
He was sentenced to four months' hard labour.
John Williams, a letter-carrier, pleaded guilty
to stealing a post-letter, and was sentenced to
five years penal servitude. Amelia West, aged
forty-one, a widow, pleaded guilty to forging
two cheques for £43 and £20, and an order for
a cheque-book, with intent to defraud the
London and Westminster Bank. The prisoner,
vlio was strongly recommended to mercy by
the prosecution, and received a good character,
was sentenced to four months’ imprisonment.
Ample apologies and a tender of pecuniary
compensation having been made by Arthur
Foster, a Government clerk, arraigned on the
charge of feloniously and maliciously wounding
Frederick Denyer, hotel proprietor, the Re¬
corder said he felt justified iu acceding to the
proposal for settling the action, but it was a
case for most ample recompense. The prisoner
was then allowed to enter into his own recog¬
nisances in the sum of £500 to come up for

judgment if called upon.-On Wednesday

the grand jury returned true bills against Carl
Lunagren, alias Jean Luie, for perjury and
bigamy, and against “Captain” Brown for

E erjmy in connection with the recent Tich-
orne trial. Later in the day the prisoners
were placed at the bar, aud, both having
pleaded “Not guilty,” Mr. Justice Brett
directed that the trial should take place on the
following day. Mrs. Dowling, who had been
committed on a charge of having murdered her
infant, was fonnd by the jury in an unfit con¬
dition to plead to the indictment, and she will,
therefore, be detained during her Majesty’s
pleasure. The two Frenchmen, Dacosta and
Dumas, pleaded guilty to breaking into the
house of Mr. Wilkinson, St. Michael’s-alley,
Cornhill, and each of them was sentenced to
eighteen months’ imprisonment, with hard
labour. David George Royal was convicted of
a murderous outrage upon a young man who
had disturbed him in the act of burglary, and
was sentenced to twenty years’ penal servitude.

Mr. James Broun, of No. 3, narcourt-build-
ings, Temple, who has been disclaimed by
various other members of the Bar similarly
tjtied, reappeared, on Thursday week, at
Guildhall, charged with an unprovoked assault
in Fleet-street. Medical certificates were put

in from Dr. Gibson, of Newgate, stating that
he was of unsound mind. Sir Thomas Dakin
decided to send him to the union for safe
custody, and the prisoner made no objection.

At Bow-street and at Wandsworth Police
Courts, on Saturday, two owners of ferociou
dogs were summoned for allowing these air. .
to go at large and unmuzzled. In on; a
boy, eleven years of age, and in tW thcr a
child of more tender years, had .ijtten.

In each instance the destruct 1 * :- . t.i dog was
deemed necessary by the m oi» ate.

For Sunday outran . the kind for which
Islington has lon> -..uen noted, eight young
men were, on ! • *ctlay, fined each £5, with the
alternative . * week’ hard labour in the
House of orrection. Frederick William
Leu jeribed as a clerk, has been com-

i-' ’ ' io gaol for fourteen days for annoying
:cn in the street.

At Marylebone, on Tuesday, a carman was
fined £4 and costs, with the alternative of two
months’ imprisonment, with hard labour, for
cruelly beating a horse which was attempting
to draw two tons of coal in a coal-waggon over
the Chalk Farm-road, which had been newly
macadamised.

Henry Mason, a burglar, lm3 been caught in
flagrante delicto at a house in River-street,
"Chelsea. He was making off with £150 worth
of miscellaneous property, when a person who
was sleeping in the house woke up and saw
him. He gave chase in his night-clothes, and,
a constable having taken up the pursuit, Mr.
Mason was safely landed at the station-house.
The magistrate remanded him for a’week.

On Saturday morning a woman named New¬
man, the wife of a tradesman carrying on
business at Brunswick-place, Hoxton, murdered
her infant daughter, wounded her brother,
and then made an attempt on her own life. It
is believed that Mrs. Newman, who is forty-
two years of age, was suddenly seized with a
fit of homicidal mania, the result of grief for
the death of five of her children within a com¬
paratively short period.

William Jones, clerk, and George Wood,
baker, appeared at the Windsor Petty Sessions,
on Thursday week, charged with commiting a
burglary at the house of Mr. Beach, Balmoral
Villas, Clarence-road. Jones was further
charged with shooting at Police-Constable
Hogan, with intent to murder him. Mr. Beach’s
servant, who had been left in care of the
house, said she bail gone to the review in
Windsor Park, leaving the kitchen window a
little open. Mr. John Mellor and Mr. Smith,
lay clerks at Eton College, deposed to having
seen three men go up to the house door in a
suspicious way. They watched them a short
time, and at last went up and rang the bell.
The burglars looked out for a minute, then
fastened the front door and fled by the back.
Constable Hogan, who pursued Jones, was
fired at four times, but closed with bis man
and held him till Mr. Mellor came to his as¬
sistance. In the struggle Jones’s revolver was
broken in two. Hogan was not able to appear
at court, but, in answer to a message of inquiry
from her Majesty, the authorities were able to
report that he was recovering rapidly. Both
prisoners were remanded.

An angry crowd attacked a butcher’s shop
at Reading on Saturday. Stones were freely
used, and, although several of the rioters were
taken into custody, they were rescued by the
mob. The chief offenders will, however, be
summoned before the magistrates.

The men who were charged with committing
a burglary at the counting-house at Xayland
Mill, Suffolk, were tried at Ipswich on Mon¬
day. There was a further charge against them
of shooting with intent to murder, several shots
having been fired at tho owner of the mill, Mr.
Stannard, and his two sons, while they were
attempting to arrest the burglars. Two of the
prisoners, Johnson and Berry, were convicted
of the double offence, and were sentenced to
penal servitude for life. A third, Henry
Swann, was found guilty of the burglary, aud
sentenced to ten years’ penal servitude. A
fourth, Edgar Swann, was acquitted.

At the Lewes Quarter Sessions, on Tuesday,
a report was presented showing the results of the
system of remunerative prison labour recently
introduced into the Sussex County Prison. In
this document it was stated that during the
nine months it had been in operation the net
profit on prisoners’ work was £300, and still
more favourable results were anticipated.

At Gloucester Assizes, on Wednesday, Mr.
Baron Cleasby finished the trials of the pri¬
soners who were indicted for taking part in the
election riots at Cinderford, in the Forest of
Dean. Five of them were convicted, and sen¬
tenced to periods of imprisonment ranging from
three to twelve months.

Mr. Harrison, as president of the Insti¬
tution of Civil Engineers, will give a con¬
versazione on May 19, in the west galleries of
tho International Exhibition, at Kensington.

We are requested to state that the third
Amateur Orchestral Society’s Concert at the

of the soldiers and sailors and marines who

LAUNCH OF THE GERMAN FRIGATE KAISER AT POPLAR,

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS

APRIL 11, 1874

THE GERMAN FRIGATE KAISER.

This powerful ship of war, built by Mr. J. R. Samuda, M.P.,
of the firm of Samuda Brothers, for the Imperial Government
of Germany, was launched, on tlie 19th ult., at the shipbuilders
yard at Poplar. The German Ambassador, Count Munster,
with his daughter, Countess Marie Munster, who performed
the christening ceremony and cut the ship loose, was pi csent,
by the Emperor’s special command. The Austrian Ambassador,
Count Beust, the Duke and Duchess of Bedford, and many
persons of distinguished rank or character were among the
company, as well as some members of the Admiralty, the
Thames Conservancy Board, and the Metropolitan Board of
Works and other public corporations. The Kaiser, with a
sister ship, the Deutschland, was designed by Mr. E. J. Reed,
late Chief Constructor for the Admiralty. Her general plan
and arrangement are like those of H.M.S. Hercules. The
dimensions are—length, 285 ft. ; breadth, 62 ft. ; depth,
47 ft. 4 in. ; burden (old measurement), 5000 tons ; displace¬
ment, 7600 tons. The hull is protected by an armour belt ex¬
tending fore and aft from 5 ft. 6 in. below the water-lme to the
main deck, with an armour-plated battery on main deck fitted
to contain eight 22-ton steel breech-loading guns. They are
arranged to fire broadside ; but the two foremost guns, one
on each side, are also adapted for use as bow chasers, and
capable of being trained to cross-fire before the vessel; the two
after guns can be trained to fire within fifteen degrees of the
line of keel. In addition to the eight guns above mentioned,
there will be another similar gun of 18 tong weight placed aft,
also protected by armour-plates on teak backing, and capable
of being trained to an angle of 15 deg. each side the middle line,
thus making, with the central battery guns, a complete all-
round fire. The thickness of armour plates on the vital parts
of the belt and battery is 10 in., but elsewhere 8 in., and
reduced at the ends of the vessel. The thickness of teak back¬
ing is 10 in. to 8 in. ; the plating behind the armour is U in. to
1 in. thick. The upper and main decks beams are completely
covered with steel plating, the teak decks being laid above the
steel plates. The vessel is constructed with an inner bottom,
divided into thirty-two water-tight compartments, in addition
to the cross bulkheads and water-tight fiats, aDd fitted with the
most approved arrangements for pumping, draining, or fiooding.
The Kaiser will be “ ship ” rigged, with a full amount of sail-
power, so as to be able, as a sailing-vessel, to secure the greatest
efficiency when under canvas without the aid of steam. 1 he
engines manufactured for the Kaiser, by Messrs. J. Penn and
8ons, of Greenwich, are a pair of horizontal, direct-acting
trunk engines, of the collective nominal power of 1150 horses,
but capable of exerting 8000 |indicated horse power, arranged
to work, expansively, and having surface condensers and super¬
heaters. The speed will be fourteen knots an hour. The
Deutschland is to be ready in six months from this time.

At a meeting of the Shoreham board of guardians, one of
the relieving officers reported the death, at Hove, of Esther Black,
aged seventy, who had for many years been in the receipt of
2a. 6d. weekly as out-relief. She occupied one little room, where,
after her death, her will was found, in which she bequeathed
£50 to the Sussex County Hospital, and a like sum or £50 to
the Brighton Lying-In Institution. The residue of £1900 goes
to nephews and nieces. A representative nephew has refunded
to the parish the money which his aunt had received.

In Birmingham the number of steel pens made weekly is
about 98,000 gross, or 14,112,000 separate pens. Thirty years
ago pens were sold wholesale at 5s. per gross; now pens as
good, or better, may be had for l$d. per gross. Gold pens
are tipped with iridium, making what are called “ diamond
points.’’ The iridium for this purpose is found in small grains
in platinum, slightly alloyed with the latter metal In this
form it is exceedingly hal'd, and well adapted for the purpose of
the gold-pen maker. The gold for pens is alloyed with silver
to about 10-carate fineness, rolled out into thin strips, from
which the blanks are struck. The under side of the point is
notched by a small circular saw to receive the irridium point,
which is selected by the aid of a microscope. A flux of oorax
and a blowpipe secure it to its place, and the point is thon
ground on a copper wheel with emery.

All the usual places of public resort in and about Loudon,
on Easter Monday, were thronged with holiday makers.
Upwards of 4$,OOO went to the Crystal Palace ; nearly 40,000
to the Zoological Society’s Gardens ; 14,000 to the British
Museum ; about 30,000 to the South Kensington Museum ; and
a concert at the Albert Hall was attended by 1 nit ween 7<MH>
and 8000 persons. The metropolitan railway lines were
crowded with passengers, and the river steam-boats, the tram¬
ways, and the omnibuses were not sufficient to meet the
requirements of those who wished to travel by them. The
day was, as usual, a great one at Hampstead-heath, Green¬
wich Fark, and other open spaces in tho subarbs, and
the excursion-trains to tho acasido took many thousands away
at an early hour in the morning. At the Brighton Aquarium
13,457 persons passed through tho turnstiles during the* day.
The London International Exhibition of 1874 was opened on
Monday without any ceremony. The visitors during tho day

numbered about 14,000.-For volunteers the character of the

day was maintained by a «ham fight at Wimbledon, being an
engagement between two local forces representing Surrey and
Middlesex. According to the general idea* tho Surrey men
formed part- of a main army stationed at Croydon, tho leader
of which hears that two brigades of tho Middlesex force are
about to form a junction at Richmond Park. To prevent this
ho pushes forward his advance guard on Wimbledon-common,
but the enemy drive back hia skirmishers and fighting ensues
along the whole line. The plan seems to have been executed
with reasonable success, and few hitches occurred either in the
commissariat or the handling of the troops on tho field. The
Middlesex force was commanded by Prince Edward of Saxe-
Wwnftr, and the Surrey men by Colonel Stephenson, C.B*

Jucltaotojjg of the IRotrth.

Archaeology has lost an accomplished supporter by the death
of Mr. Albert Way, to whom we owe the organisation of the
Archaeological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland,^ under
conditions of the highest success. Upon his estate of Wonham
Manor Mr. Way formed a considerable collection of objects of
art and virtu, in which he took great delight. He possessed an
almost encyclopaedic acquaintance with archaeology.

In recently digging for gravel, at a depth of 18in., on the
irrigation farm at Beddington, have been discovered the
remains of a Roman warrior, who had evidently been buried in
his armour, together with some arms. Some time previously
the remains of a Roman villa were found in the same neigh¬
bourhood, and a quantity of coins, Roman and British, between
Croydon and Norwood. In the above locality have been found
distinct traces of “hut circles'’ in the fields south-east o.
Woodcote and near Wallington Manor House, and it is supposed
that the Roman town of Noviomagus occupied the southern
portion of the parish. The Roman villa was found between
Beddington-1 ane and Hackbridge station, or very nearly in tho
direct line from Woodcote to IStreatham. The evidence from
the coins would give a Roman occupation of the locality from
a.d. 25S to A. i). 3/5. According to ancient evidence, a number
of Roman roads converged in this neighbourhood, proving it to
be an important position during the time of the Roman occu¬
pation of Britain. The investigation of this find has been
referred to the Surrey Archreological Society.

A work which Bishop Russell declared, fifty years ago, to
be wanting to fill a literary gap is on the eve of publication by
Messrs. Virtue and Co. It is “The Ancient Church of
Scotland : ” a history of all the cathedral, conventual, and
collegiate churches, and the hospitals ; with lists of bishops,
monastic superiors, and capitular clergy, illustrations and
ground-plans, by Mr. Mackenzie Walcott. There are chapters
on Scottish arch.eology, and legends of the olden time.

At the meeting of the Society of Antiquaries, March 12, the
Rev. W. Egerton, Rector of Whitchurch, Salop, described
the alleged discovery in that church of the body of the great
Talbot, tfirst Earl of Shrewsbury, who was killed, at Chastillon,
in the year 1453, in the sixtieth year of his ago. The skull
bore traces of having been cleft with a blow of a battle-axe,
and each bone was wrapped up carefully in cerecloth, which
would seem to corroborate Leland’s statement that the body
was originally buried in France, and was afterwards brought
over by his grandson, Sir G. Talbot, and interred in the old
church (which fell down in 1713) at Whitchurch, Salop, in
accordance with the desire expressed in the Earl’s will, made
at Portsmouth, in 1453. Mr. C. K. Watson (secretary of the
Society of Antiquaries) gave a r£sumth>f the statements made iu
contemporary chronicles respecting the manner of Talbot’s
death. From these it appears that he was shot in the thigh by
a ball, which killed the horse on which he was riding. The horse
fell upon him, and he was then dispatched, not with circum¬
stances of barbarity, by the French “archers,” who hastened
to the spot. Of these bones the author of “ The First Part of
Henry the Sixth ” writes as follows :—

Bast. Hew them to pieces ! hack these hones asunder,

Whose life was England’s glory, ( Jallia's wonder !

Char. Oh, no; forbear ! For that which
During his life we have lied,

Let us not wrong it dead !

Sir E. Smirke has read to the Archeological Institute some
remarks “ On the Probablo Use of a Falchion ” in tho case of
the descent of the manor of Auckland to the Bishops of Durham.
They had reference to the curved swords, inscribed “Edwardus
Nices Anglice,” lately brought to the notice of the Institute
by Mr. Earwaker. Mr. W. J. B. Smith has also exhibited a
Spanish falchion of the sixteenth century, with S guard, pomel,
and terminations of guard in form of birds’ heads, blade in¬
scribed IVAN . MART1NE3 . EN TOLEDO . IN . TE . DO MINE .
esperavi ; also two other specimens of falchions of special
make, German and English ; also a small poniard, with bayonet¬
shaped blade of silver ; tho pommel and guard also of silver—
the former in tho shape of a human skull, the latter that of two
thigh-bones crossed, probably Italian, late sixteenth century.

Archdeacon Trollope has lately presented from the Asso¬
ciated Architectural Societies a complete series of their reports
and papers to the Archiepiscopal Library at Lambeth Palace.
The proceedings contain valuable architectural and archeolo¬
gical descriptions of churches in the counties of York, Lincoln,
Worcester, Leicester, &c.

Mr. Andrew Macallum writes from Korosco, Nubia, that
“at the south side of the great Temple of Aboo Simbel he
found the entrance of a painted chamber, rock cut, and
measuring 21ft. 2% in. by 14 ft. Sin., and 12 ft. high to the
spring of the arch, elaborately sculptured, and painted in tho
best style of the best period of Egyptian art, bearing the por¬
traits of Raineses the Great and his cartouches, and in a high
state of preservation. In a staircase were discovered the bones
of a woman and child, with two small cinerary urns, doubtless
a subsequent interment. “ Whether the painted chamber (says
Mr. Macallum) is the inner sanctuary of a small temple or part
of a tomb, or. only a speos, like the well-known grotto at Ibrim,
will be a ques ion for future excavators to determine.”

On the shores of the Sea of Marmora (says the Academy)
has just been discovered a portion of a marble column, orna¬
mented with figures of men and horses, and believed to havo
formed part of the Arcadius column, which remained standing
more than 200 years after the taking of Constantinople by the
Turks, and was not destroyed till towards the close of the
seventeenth century. The entire surface, from the base to the
capital, was sculptured with bas-reliefs of the victims of
Theodosius the Great, and fjhe interior contained a winding
staircase which gave access to the summit

Mr. T. Layton has exhibited to tho Society of Antiquaries
a very remarkable Roman sword, found in the Thames, with a
portion of tho bronze covering of tho sheath richly decorated
with repouestS work; arnoug the decorations was tho popular
representation of the fable of Kotnulus and Remus. The rest
of the plaque was filled with foliage and fiowers, birds, butter¬
flies? Mid rabbits. This sword recalled the so-called sword of
Tiberius in the British Museum, and a sword found at Wies¬
baden and figured in Limlonsclimidfe.

Mr. Glendining, of Exeter, recently found at Bideford, at
the root of a tree, a number of valuable coins, which were all
in a good state of preservation, and proved to belong to tho
Roman period of domination in Great Britain, and also to ilif-
ferent Roman Emperors of the time. Several of them are
sestertii of the Emperors Diocletian and Constantius, ranging
from the middle to the latter part of the third century of the
Christian era. Others are denarii of Domitian and Scverus
Alexander, having, in addition to the inscriptions, various
emblems, such as the sacrificial altar, the legend “Princeps
Juventuti, and fagures of Liberty and Concord.

The Ilalir of Romo reports a number of archmological dis¬
coveries recently made in the different quarters where buildincr

Dr. Hirschfield has been charged by the Prussian Govern¬
ment with au exploration of Asia Minor for the discovery of
inscriptions, objects of art, and Antiquities,

Dr Schliemann has lately made excavations at Mycena,
the ancient capital of AgamemnOn. He has examined the
Acropolis in thirty-four different places, and by digging shafts
on the first and second terraces he reached the rock at a depth
of 20 ft. to 12 ft. He discovered red pottery with splendidly-
painted ornamentation, two stone axes, one Hint arrow, and a
number of idols. Five of them represent Hera, the tutelary
goddess of Argos. A number of small cows were found in red
terra cotta, but as yet no Hera with a cow’s head.

The beautiful collection of china formed by Lady Frances
Russell has just been sold. There were numerous groups and
figures of “Chelsea” and “Bow.” Among tho latter were
four figures representing the “Seasons,” which sold for £46 ;
a pair of Chelsea vases, £45 ; a pair of figures (a sailor and hia
sweetheart), £46 ; a group of the “ Musical Party,” £52; four
“ Derby ” figures of the “ Seasons,” £52 ; and a figure of Sir
John Falstaff, from the same factory, £35. Among the
examples of old “ Worcester,” a teapot sold for £20, and a pair
of oblong baskets, £27 10s. An old “ Dresden ” cabaret, £30;
and a pair of old Dresden vases, £98. A small Sevres cun and
saucer, with panels painted with subjects after Fraudenburg,
£78. The collection realised £2250 14s.

FINE AETS.

INTERNATIONA!. EXHIBITION PICTURE GALLERIES,

The International Exhibition of 1874 opened on Monday last,
but, as we write, is still incomplete in the fine-arts and
some other departments. As before, the French are behind¬
hand, the arrangement of their collection having hardly com-
menced. The show of works intended to represent certain
deceased English artists is also not completed. We shall,
therefore, postpone a more detailed notice of both these sec¬
tions till a future occasion. As regards the loan collection
of works by deceased artists, which is situate in the north¬
western gallery, we may, however, offer a few particulars.
The deceased oil-painters that have been selected for repre¬
sentation are Sir David Wilkie (by whom there are at
present forty-one examples, including sketches), John Con¬
stable (twenty-three examples), David Roberts (forty-nine),
and Augustus Egg (twenty-five). Then there are drawings,
generally of architectural subjects, by Samuel Prout, J. S.
Cotman, J. Coney, C. Wild, A. Pugin, F. Mackenzie, and d.
M.W. Turner. These architectural painters have been selected
because architecture is one of the great divisions in the ten
years’ cycle of art and industry illustrated in the present Exhi¬
bition. None of the painters named is represented in a widely-
comprehensive or in anything near a complete manner.
The two or three drawings by Turner are, in particular,
ridiculously inadequate to convey any idea of him as a painter
of architecture, particularly in his early period. The examples
of Wilkie, Constable, Roberts, aud Egg are, however, numerous
and important, and this portion of the exhibition will, doubt¬
less, prove higlily attractive. The Wilkie series is enriched by
several pictures from the Royal collection, and a rare oppor¬
tunity is afforded for studying the master in his early realistic
and better style, and in his later more conventional manner. To
the former period—i.e., before his journey to Italy and Spain,
in 1825—belong “The Village Recruit,” “Blind-Man’s Buff,”
“The Letter of Introduction,” and “The Penny Wedding.”
Among the best pictures of his later period here are “ The Maid
of Saragossa,” “The Guerilla’s Departure,” “The Guerilla’s
Return,” and “ Columbus in the Convent of La Rabida.”

The works by (with a few exceptions) living English painters
in the ml joining gallery have this year diminished in number
and deteriorated in quality in a moat remarkable manner. As
we anticipated, this attempt to form another large annual
exhibition of current English art, in addition to those already
existing, is, for various reasons, the weak part of the present
international scheme. Of about two hundred English oil
paintings in this gallery there is hardly a dozen, including
those previously exhibited, to which we should care to call a
foreign critic’s attention as average samples of our school; and
the water-colour drawings are even more insignificant Among
the better works are “A Storm in Harvest” (530), by J.
Linnell, sen., with a grand but exaggerated effect of rolling
cumuli; “ Poet’s Retreat ” (537), by T. Danby ; a powerful
illustration of “Dora” (641), by J. Burr, exhibited at the
Academy, and engraved by us a few years back; “The
Making of the New Forest ” (662), by R. Burchett; and “The
Sand Road” (519), by Mr. Redgrave—a little picture in the
artist’s early and best manner. We may also mention as fairly
good or promising the oil paintings by C. Bauerle, E. Gill, T.
O. Hume, W. Barclay, and H. Moore.

Tlie southernmost of the western galleries contains a collec¬
tion of foreign pictures, chiefly Bavarian, which seems to
been selected with some care and respect for the British public.

If there are no works of a high order, there are few hope¬
lessly bad, and a fair average of respectable workmanship J*
maintained, though the fault prevalent in German art of black,
opaque shadows is occasionally apparent. As works of mark
here we may name “Difference of Opinion” (1090). hy A.
Holm berg; “The Poacher” (1098), by F. Meyer-Wisrnar;
“The Postman on the Chiemsee ” (1100), by Prof. K. Kaunp;
“Tho Last Meeting between Louis XVI. and his Family
(1119), by E. Meisel ; “A Jury”—tasting wine—(1126), and
“In the Parson’s Cellar” (1128), by lv. S. Ziinmermann;
“ Art and Patronage ” (1191), a picture with monkeys, by n.
Schaumann ; “Roman Chariot-Race in the Time of the
Emperor Domitian” (1224), a large, elaborate, and extremely
spirited picture of a scene in the arena of tho Roman ampto*
theatre, by Prof. A. Wagner; “Italian Concert” (1237), a
picture aiming at Titianesque colour, by R. Kuppelmayr,
together with numerous Alpine and other landscapes of con¬
siderable merit.

The Belgian school, which occupies the same eastern gallery
as last year and some wall space farther south, is more nume¬
rously than well represented. Several of tlie leading painter*
of the school are absent, and the contributions generally
far less important than those exhibited in 1871. A large pro¬
portion of tho pictures can hut damage the reputation of tfl*
school. In ’71 Belgian art was comparatively little known m
this country, and the Belgian painters won a legitimate success.
But, the novelty having worn off, impartial criticism soon
finds that mannerism and self-repetition are quite as common
in this as in other schools. Indeed, the sound Belgian system
of teaching the technique of painting rather favours pictorial
manufacture of a given pattern. What, for instance, but the
merest system of picture manufacture t*» gro* could account
for the numberless panels and canvases by Verboeckhoven
and other popular Belgian painters all marked by the closest
family likeness possible, which have stocked all parts of Europe
aud America ? Moreover, the technical system of the school
inclines to the materialistic or to the artificial in colour,
especially in tho followers of Leys. Then, again, the average
Belgian artist has no advantage over the British in general
culture. Not only is Belgian art materialistic; sometimes to
the point of grossness technically considered, but the conception
is almost invariably of a bourgeois character. Elevated inven¬
tion, learning, refined sentiment, delicacy of treatment, taste,

grace, playfulness, fancy, are comparatively unknown in the
Belgian school. On the other hand, wo find among the best men
manliness, honesty, and individuality unsurpassed.

Among the most ambitious works are the historical
subjects oy Soubre—“A Noble Family (Gueux) before
the Council of Blood” (1554) and “ Catherine of Arragon
and Cardinal Wolsey” (1514); Vanden Bussche’s “Last
of the Romans” (2203) and “Marguerite Drowning her
Infant” (1690), and “A Biblical Discussion in the Sixteenth
Century” (1659), by E. Vanderhaegen. By M. Slingeneyer,
the painter of the “ChristianMartyr m the Reign of Diocletian,”
which we engraved from the *62 International, there is a picture
of a Tunisian mother with her boy (1656), painted in a large
style. M. Wauters, whose “Mary of Burgundy before the
Echevin8 ” we also engraved, has a female head powerfully
painted and rich in tone. “The Emigrant’s Return,” by
Portaels, is utterly unworthy of the artist’s reputation—see
the formless head of the baby. Mr. C. Hermans is an artist
of promise ; his large picture of the interior of an hospital has
very fine qualities of tone. For unaffected sincerity in senti¬
ment and fidelity to humble life there is nothing better than
the “ Dutch Interior—Sunday Afternoon ” (1568), by H. Bource.
Attention is also recommended to the “ Rosamond ” (1524) and
“Cinderella” (1706), by Van Lerius ; the charming groups of
children with flowers by J. Vcrhas ; the Spanish subjects by
Adolphe Dillens ; and the figure-pictures by De Block, C. Webb,
A. Serrure, T. Gerard, A. Robert, Dell’Acqua, and Mdlle.
Vanden Broeck, together with the w orks, more or less in the
manner of Leys, by Lagye, the brothers De Vriendt, Cleynens,
and W. Liunig. In landscape the honours will be carried off*
by De Schampheleer, with his autumnal scene on the Amstel
(1560), and the still finer view on the Meuse (1640), with
a stormy sky; and by Van Luppen, with two views j
possessing a rare combination of vigour, and feeling in the
neighbourhood of the Ardennes (Nos. 1552 and 1697). There
are also excellent landscapes by Coosemans, Roelofs, A. Wtlst,
Ileymans, T. Vcrheyden, Gabriel, and J. Jacobs. Among the
specimens of animal-painting two brilliant little studies of
cows and donkeys by De Haas, pictures of cattle by Phunot,
of horses by Yerwee, and of dogs by De Pratere and Madame
Ronner, will find admirers. The architectural department is
well represented by large views of Rome and Naples by
Bosauet, and of Heidelberg by Stroobant; whilst still-life is
ably depicted by De Noter, Verhoeven-Ball, and Vanden Bosch.

The adjoining rooms contain pictures from Holland, Scandi¬
navia, Germany, Austria, and Italy. Several of them deserve
attention, and some of those from Italy possess special quality
of ideality in form, subtle observation, or beauty of execution,
characteristic of the nascent schools of that ancient home of art.
Among the latter we may name, besides several good land¬
scapes, “A Game at Morra” (2141), by P. C. Gilardi ; “On
the Beach” (2146), by L. Steyfani; “TheLove Letter” (2161),
by A. PietrnjEsanta; “ An Opportune Moment” (2162), by Cav.
L. Biancbi ; “ Will He Return ? ” (2177), by Cav. B. Giuliano ;
and “The Kiss ” (2194), a girl kissing a painting of the Saviour
beside a lighted taper, by L. Serra : a gem of effect, colour, and
finish.

One of the east galleries contains paintings and drawings
from various parts of the world by officers of the Army and
Navy. Many of these are both interesting and clever; but
they scarcely come within our critical province.

In the lower galleries of the Albert Hall there are on the
east side a fine cffilection of engravings, generally recent ; and
on the west side a collection of photographs. In the specimens
of fine-art pottery, glass-painting, enamels, &c., there are some
designs commendable for taste in drawing and colour, but we
have not space to particularise.

The sculpture we must reserve for future notice.

THE FRENCH OALLRRY.

This exhibition does not, like some of its predecessors, break
new ground in any comparatively unknown direction of Conti¬
nental art; yet it is, w’e think, the most variously representa¬
tive, and, on the whole, the choicest display, which Mr. Wallis
lias provided for public gratification and cultivation. The
enterprise required to glean such a collection from the various
schools of Europe is most creditable, and English artists may
be strongly recommended to keep themselves informed at this
gallery of what their foreign brethren are achieving in every
branch of art.

Two pictures by Meissonier renew’ our wonder at the hardly-
approached and never-surpassed perfectness of the painter’s
workmanship. In “ The Guard Room ” (63) we see a party of
soldier’s in costumeB of the seventeenth century, two of their
number playing cards, several others looking on. Of the two
players it is not difficult to foresee that the gaily-dressed younger
officer will prove the victim. He is timid and serious, his
antagonist confident and radiant; all the spectators enter into
the fun; and every figure is iustinct w ith character and
expression. The other picture (60) is on a larger, or rather a
less minute, scale than usual. It represents a sort of French
George Morland painting for a cabaret sign a figure of a jolly
Bacchus astride a wine-barrel. The proprietor (in costume of
the Directory) has lounged into the back yard which consti¬
tutes the artist’s studio to examine the work, and plants him¬
self before it with the lofty air of a connoisseur; the artist
turns towards him, grinning with the satisfaction with which
he hope8 to infect his patron. Remarkable as are the drawing
and characterisation or this picture, it is not happy, compara¬
tively speaking, in colour; the browns are decidedly mono¬
tonous, and Meissonier’s technical completeness appears to be
more marvellous when displayed within the customary micro¬
scopic dimensions. .

Another picture remarkable for disciplined thoroughness
of execution generally, which also possesses character and
some humour, is “Rent Day” (50), bv E. Berne-Bellecour.
The scene is the interior of a stately hall, portions being evi¬
dently studied from the gallery at Knole, where the artist
painted, while residing in England during the Franco-German
war. The gouty landlord sits at his breakfast-table ; a young
woman, encouraged by her mother, advances timidly towards
him with a petition. The steward receives the rents at a side-
table, and sevoral tenants wait at the end of the gallery. The
magnificent chimney-piece of coloured marbles and other parts
of the picture are exquisitely painted, hut the whole is not
correspondingly finished. Bouguereau’s consummate drawing and
modelling his smoothness of texture and melting gradations—
obtained, however, by sacrificing the richness obtainable with
impasto and the suggestive charm which may bo given by
“ looser ” handling — are exemplified in “The Sleep of Child¬
hood” (156). In the same category may be placed the pretty
but conventional bead called • ‘ Pastorella ” (82), by Merle;
and the refined and graceful, but rather affected and waxen,
picture of two ladies at a “ .)ewel Cabinet” (155), by I. \ erhas.
Thinness of painting, and the consequent absence of the full
virtue and quality of oil pigments, together with occasional
insensibility to harmony of colouring, may be alleged against
the works of M. G&rGme, and are more perceptible when his
intense conception, inventiveness, and learning are not brought
into full play—as in the single figure called “Botzaris” (44),

whero the tiles of the walls, writh their cold-coloured patterns,
are discordant against the crimson robes, richly-ornamented
arms, and swarthy skin of the figure. The charm of a freer
style, with, how’ever, ample exactitude in essentials, is apparent
in E. Fromcntin’B picture (68) of a caravan among the green
fields of maize which have sprung up after the subsidence of
the periodical Nile inundation : and still more conspicuously in
“African Camp Followers” (19), a party of sturdy, active,
carrier negresses, w’hich recalls some of our Special Artist’s
sketches from Cape Coast and Ashantee. M. Fromentin has a
worthy follower in A. Pasini, as witness the “Gateway of the
Alhambra” (72) and other works. For sober truthfulness and
solid broad execution we commend the visitor to examples of
Jules Breton and his pupil, P. Billet. By the former there
is a half-length of a Bretonne, in her Sunday and fete-day
finery, holding a taper that has just blown out, “ Going to
Mass” (139). She is comely and picturesque, but there is a
superstitious fervour in her expression that is quite painful to
behold. Billet’s picture of girls stooping to cut grass is sincere
in its sentiment of humble pathos, and the tender colours
are beautifully harmonised by the mist, though the grey hues
have crept too near the foreground.

Art, happily, is many sided ; and a peculiar and lovely
phase of it, within the limits of the artist’s aim, is illustrated in
A. Stevens’s “Idle Hour” (12)—a girl reclining on a couch.
There is no grace, beauty, or feoling in form, and hardly any
meaning in this picture ; yet the delicious qualities of tone
and colour evoked out of an unpromising arrangement of
neutral tints and greens will yield a rich treat to artist eyes :
colour here is everything, as in a Japanese decoration. Mr. de
Yonghe’s “Pretty Reflections ” (20) w’ould make an elegant
boudoir decoration, but it has not the artistic value of the pre¬
ceding. M. Hubert’s “ Madonna ” (8)—a dreamy-eyed, malaria-
stricken Italian woman, with her child—is a rich piece of
colouring; but we must protest against the introduction, in
our day, of actually gilt and embossed nimbi in tho Byzantine
manner. Simple mention must suffice of Schreyer’s “ Wal-
lachian Carrier” (122); Leloir’s “Beating to Arms” (17),
groups of trumpeters and soldiers in gorgeous Maximilian
costumes; E. Muratou’s “Vases and Musical Instruments”
(213), a superb piece of still-life painting; and generally good,
if not fully representative, examples of the French landscape-
painters, deceased and living—Troyon, T. Rousseau, Diaz, J.
DupnS, Jacque, and Corot.

It may bo inferred from tho preceding names that the
strength of the exhibition resides, more perhaps than on any
former occasion, in the pictures of the French school ; and Mr.
Wallis could go to no better source for representing almost
every department of art. There is, however, also a sprinkling
of works by tho Belgian, Dutch, German, and Italian, or
Romano-Spanish schools. We hardly know whether the
Hungarian painter, Cermak, w’ouUl be claimed by tho French
or the Belgian school; he has studied in both, though, we
believe, mostly in Paris. There is a reduction here of his large
and remarkably fine picture, “ Episode of the War in Monte¬
negro, 1862 ” (18), which was lately exhibited at tho Paris and
Antwerp salons.

The influence of the Spanish painters, Fortuny and
Madrazo, upon artists of different nationalities w*ho toge¬
ther recently formed a school at Rome, since compara¬
tively scattered, is exemplified in the works of Boldini,
Ribera, Capobianchi, Viberfc (who, we believe, we arc justified in
including), and others. These painters seek primarily for
splendour of colour and brilliancy of handling. The purest
colours, but. in small, balanced quantities, are profusely scat¬
tered about their pictures with dazzling, though frequently
artificial, effect. They likewise practise a calculated dash in
their brushwork, often the more surprising aud captivating for
being found in works of a very diminutive scale, yet not un-
seldom leaving an impression of too obtrusive cleverness. So
much ability, natural and acquired, was enlisted in the new
school that it at first carried the world of art by storm.
Already, however, there seems to be a reaction against the
tricks and artifices of the school, which are only too easy of
imitation. Boldini, one of the most skilful of this croup of
painters, has a tiny picture of a girl lying “ Ennuy^c ” (57) on
a couch, which has the merits and faults of the school in a high
degree ; as will be seen on comparing the delicate fairy-like
painting of tho uppor portion with the harsh, staring rug be¬
neath, to say nothin" of the voluptuous feeding. In two small,
open-air subjects, with female figures in purer taste (Nos. 46
and 62), the artist is altogether delightful; it would be difficult
to praise too highly the truthful brilliance of the daylight effects.
“Chez le Oordonnier ” (36), by Capobianchi—two ladies, dressed
in all the colours of the rainbow, trying on the daintiest of
high-heeled satin shoes ; and R. Ribera’s grimly droll string of
Italian acrobats trudging through the snow (33), are other very
skilful pictures of the same class.

Tho Spanish painter Roybefc is more robust, with some¬
thing of the power of the old Spanish masters combined with
a stronger relish for colour : see “An Official Messenger” (97).
Vibort’s “ Le Scbisme ” (178), a cardinal and tho head of a
monastic order seated, in high dudgeon, back to back beside a
table that certainly was not spread for a fast-day, is as humorous
as it is admirably painted. “ Spanish Wedding” (164), by the
same, where bride and bridegroom are starting dos-a-dos
on horseback, amidst the congratulations of a multitude of
friends, evinces close observation, and is bright but rather hard
in colour.

“ Catechising” (100), a scene in a rural Bavarian church, is
scarcely worthy of the reputation of the great German master
Vautier, though the children’s faces evince his keen discrimina¬
tion of character. A picture (75), by Knaus, of a little girl
embroidering, with her arm round the neck of her chubby
brother, is charming, though likewise not an important example
of this eminent German artist. The Dutch painter Israels is far
more acceptable in his pathetic subjects than in bright-toned
pictures, such as “The Fisherman’s Family ” (158) paddling by
the seashore. Nor is Clays’s painting of the sea in motion, in
No. 49, at all to be compared with his “ calm” marine pieces.
There are, besides, several small pictures of merit, chiefly
lamlscape ; but we must conclude our notice with mention of
“The Port of Waxholm, near Stockholm" (148), by A.
Wahlberg, a large moonlight view, very daring in its strong
contrasts and its “loaded" painting of the lights in the sky
and on the rippling sea. It is impossible to deny the painter s
power, and for us it is equally impossible to accept some of his
effects, particularly in tho ruddy brown hues of the clouds ; yet
there are other passages of great truth and impressiveness.

SOCIETY OF BRITISH AUiUSlh.

The exhibition of this society contains, as usual, a wearisome
mass of common-place productions, or performances by men
who have certainly mistaken their vocation in supposing that
they had any calling for art, together with a sparse sprinkling
of works evincing love of nature and workman-like qualities,
though none of them reach a very high degree of excellence
either in conception or execution. By way of courteous recog¬
nition of the society Sir Francis Grant, Sir John Gilbert, and

Mr. Redgrave contribute a single canvas each, but they are
small works of minor importance.

Whatever merit may be discovered in tho exhi’. illou is
almost confined to the landscape. The production of a good
figure picture demands acquaintance with pictorial p.inuples
and considerable training in draughtsmanship. But landscape
of the realistic topographic order prevalent here is withiu tho
reach of men possessed of ordinary powers of observation and
industry, though deficient in the scholarly culture required in
landscape, as well as in figure-painting when of more ideal
generalised character, and when made the vehicle of human
sentiment. There is, however, hardly a single landscape in
those rooms which addresses itself primarily to the feelings and
the apathetic sense, using the locality depicted merely as a
theme. Bat our landscape-painters generally have still to
learn this higher function ot their art, so commonly appreciated
by French landscapists. One of the soundest pieces of work,
though the routine of tho means to the end is not sufficiently
concealed, is Mr. G. Cole’s “Luncheon in the Harvest-Field”
(126). Mr. Syer’B “ Dunstanborough "(174), with a rough sea, is
effective, but too conventional to be impressive. There is much
more freshness of observation in several landscapes by Mr.
Peel, but the colouring might be warmer and more agreeable.
Mr. Gosling’s “Cornfield^’ (185) has a telling general effect,
seen at a distance, but nearer its paintiness is obvious. Mr.
H. Moore, one of the ablest of the members, has a coast scene,
“ Setting Night Nets between Tides” (10), with a faint glow of
light after sundown lingering on the edges of and behind grey
clouds, which is true and unvulgar. A pretty rustic scene,
probably up the Thames, named “The Swing ’ (448), by J.
Aumonier, is remarkable here for its generally refined treat¬
ment and light graceful handling. A twilight subject (46), by
A. Ludoviei (46), is appropriately tender, though rather man¬
nered in treatment. There is merit, too, in an evening
scene, with sheep and figures (421), by E. N. Downard.
Admitting their rather sketchy slightness and the too great
fondness for a key of grey, there is nothing here so
vividly true to the aspect of nature under effects of sunlight
sometimes diffused by mist, or grey daylight veiled by
watery clouds, as the small seacoast studies of the brothers
W. L. and C. IV. Wyllio. They are all noteworthy, but we
may specially commend “Early Morning—Sheep” (178), by
the former, and “ Baiting the Lines” (354), by the latter. Mr.
Hemy is not up to the mark of previous works in the marine
piece, “ Over the Bar ” (586); the water is too opaque, making
due allowance for the influence of the sandy shallow bottom.
Among other landscape, marine, or animal subjects rather
above the average, though sometimes betraying self-repetition
and mannerism, occasionally at second hand, are “Port Madoc,
North Wales” (91), by H. Dawson, jun. ; “Dordrecht on the
Meuse ” (105), by E. Hayes ; “ Baicleu Towers, Wharfdale ”
(379), by J. P. Pettit; “Cornish Headland—Stormy Moon-
rise ” (328), by G. F. Teniswood ; and contributions by A.
Clint, S. R. Percy, the Williams family, J. T, Lucas, C. S.
Walters, J. S. Noble, H. H. Couldery, and T. Earl.

In turning to the figure-pictures we must honestly say,
thankless as is the duty, that wo find nothing deserving o
very warm, unqualified praise. Draughtsmanship of tho
feeblest, garish colour, obtrusive vulgarity or artificial taste,
ignorance of the principles of design, composition, chiaroscuro,
and pictorial “keeping” meet the eye at every turn. The
root of tho evil is unquestionably that scarcely any untravelled
English painters receive the thorough training attainable in
most Continental schools. Habitual exhibitors in these rooms
seem to be constantly’ painting down to a lower standard, or
the'advance elsewhere makes one more exigeanfc. Names once
in repute—such as those of Messrs. Baxter, Cobbett, Hill*
W. and V. Bromley — are now attached to mere vapid arti¬
ficiality, to tho veriest commonplace manufacture, to clumsy
inaptitude, or to dramatic and poetical subjects treated in a way
that is really beneath criticism. The fancy and sense of colour
of Mr. A. J. Woolmer arc not to be disputed ; yet how much
more valuable would his kaleidoscopic vagaries be if they had
a little more reference to that natural truth which is the only
sound basis for art or poetry 1 All we can say is that the fol¬
lowing are above rather than below the average level of merit
in SufFolk-street:—“Julian Peveril and Alice Bridgnorth in the
Painted Chamber” (81), by T. Roberts; “Hark! hark 1 the
lark,” &c. (422), by J. 0. VVaite; two cottage subjects by H.
King; “Music Hath Charms” (201), by A. F. Patten;
“Alone” (411), by C. S. Lidderdale; “OKI Stories Retold”
(251), by J. HayUar; and contributions by W. M. Wyllie,
P. Levin, R. Buckner, tho brothers Holmes, E. Q. Girardot,
A. W. Bayes, J. Ritchie, and Miss A. E. Manly — “Julia” (520),
a study of a head, which, in virtue of its delioate modelling
and sweet expression, deserves a much better place.

In tho rooms for water colours are a few drawings of
some merit and promise, but not of importance sufficient to
demand individual notice.

Two important drawings in black and white by Mdlle. Rosa
Bonhour are on view at Messrs. Pilgeram and Lefevre’s, King-
street, St. James’s, preparatory to their being engraved. In
the one, “ The Straits of Ballachulish,” cattle are swimming
aud wading through the water, accompanied by drovers in
boats. In the other, “ The Stampede,” a herd of terrified
Highland cattle are in full career; some, in their mad flight,
trample on sheep.

The fourth autumn exhibition of pictures, under the
auspices of the Liverpool Corporation, is to open about Sept. 1
next. We are requested to make this announcement bocause
an impression is abroad that the usual exhibition in the Free
Library and Museum building would be discontinued till tho
completion of the new art gallery.

The celebrated painter Wilhelm von Kaulbach, who held
the post of director of the Royal Academy at Munich, died
there on Tuesday evening from an attack of cholera. The
deceased artist was born on Oct. 15, 1805.

According to an account recently issued, tho Stock trans¬
ferred and paid to the Commissioners of Annuities within the
year ended Jan. 5 last amounted to £203,543.

Several children were returning, on Tuesday week, from
school at Tatham, ten miles from Lancaster, when they were
caught iu. a hailstorm. Two of them—John Paisley Smith,
aged thirteen years, sou of a farmer, and Joseph Foster—took
shelter under an oak-tree. The tree was struck by lightning,
and stripped of a considerable portion of its bark and branches.
Smith was killed on the spot. His companion was knocked
down, but was not injured.

Lord Derby has sent a letter to tho county staagistrates-
resigning his position as Chairman of the Kirkdyje Quarter

THE LATE MR. THOMAS MORSON, CHEMIST.

All eminent scientific and practical chemist, the late Mr.
Thomas Newborn Robert Morson, died the other day at his
house in Queen-square, Bloomsbury, aged seventy-five. He
was born at Stratford-le-Bow, and was apprenticed to an apo¬
thecary in Fleet Market; but the study of chemical science, in
which he had the companionship of Faraday to assist and to
improve his early efforts, proved more attractive to Morson
than the medical profession. In the establishment of M. Blanche,
a pharmacien at Baris, he acquired a high degree of knowledge
and skill. On his return to London he succeeded to a business
as chemist and druggist in Farringdon-street, where he carried
on, with his ordinary trade, experimental researches and in¬
ventions of different useful kinds. The first sulphate of quinine
made in England and the first morphia were produced in Mr.
Morson’s laboratory. He was also the inventor of a medicine
called “pepsine,” designed to aid the nutritive processes for
the assimilation of food, in cases of diseased spleen and other
disorders of the digestive organs. From Farnngdon-street he
removed, after his marriage, to Southampton-row, Bloomsbury,
and some time later established a manufactory in Hornsey-

THE NEW HEAD MASTER OF RUGBY.

The circumstances under which the head mastership of Rugby
School became vacant, by the dismissal of the Rev. Dr. Hay man,
on account of the quarrel between him and the assistant masters,
have been discussed in a court of law. The Rev. Thomas
v William Jex-Blake, D.D., Principal of Cheltenham College, who
has been chosen by the Governing Body of Rugbj f Head Master
of’ that school, in the place of Dr. Hayman, is one of the family
of Mr. Thomas Jex-Blake, J.P., of Swanton Abbott, Norfolk,
and w.os born in the year 1832. Another of the same family is
Miss Sophia Jex-Blake, who has taken a leading part in pro¬
moting the higher education of women. He entered Rugby
School, in 1844, as a pupil of the late Bishop of Calcutta.
From Rugby lie was, iu 1851, elected to an open scholarship
at University College, Oxford, where the present Dean of
Westminster was tutor. Mr. Jex-Blake took his Bachelors
degree in 1855, obtaining a first class in classical honours,
having previously gained the same place in the 11 Modera¬
tion Lists.” He was afterwards elected to a Fellow¬
ship at Queen’s College, ,but vacated it, by his marriage, in
1857. He was ordained Deacon by the late Bishop (Wilber-
force) of Oxford, in 1S56, arid admitted into Priest’s orders by
the Bishop of Winchester in thfi following year. He held an
assistant mastership at Ilugby, ^succeeding Mr. Bradley, the
present Master of University College, Oxford, under Dr.
Temple, for several years previous to his appointment, in 1868,
to the Headship of Cheltenham College. Among the printed
testimonials in favour of Dr. Jex-Blake, which number almost
a hundred, are those given by the Archbishops of Canterbury
and York, the Bishop of inchester, the Deans of^ West¬
minster, Durham, and Norwich ; the Dean ot Christ Church,
Oxford; the Master of Trinity, Cambridge ; the Master of
Bailiol ; the Head Masters of Eton, Winchester, and Marl¬
borough ; Principal Shairp, the Rev. Canon Barry,' Professor
Rawlinson, Lord Redesdale, Mr. Goschen, Mr. Childers, Mr.
T. Hughes, and other persona of influence or note. '

SCENE FROM “ CLANCARTY,"

AT THE OLYMPIC THEATRE.

It is seldom that the climax of a new play can be presented
in a pictorial illustration. The drama of “ Clancarty,” how¬
ever—one of the cleverest pieces of stage construction that
even Mr. Tom Taylor has given to the modern stage — is so
skilfully arranged that all tho early incidents of it conduct to
the striking situation of the third act, in the bedchamber of
Lady Clancarty, when she and her lord have that “ meeting
and parting ” on which the final interest of the action depends.
The situation, moreover, has the advantage of bringing all the
principal charactersj together. Prominent in the scene, and
forming its central group, we liave the unhappy couple them-

road. He was a leading member of the Pharmaceutical Society,
holding the office of vice-president during four years, and that
of president during two or three other years : till 1870 he wa3
a member of the Council. He enjoyed the personal acquaint¬
ance and esteem of many distinguished men of science in
Frauce and Germany, as well as iu this country.

selves (Mr. Henry Neville and Miss Ada Cavendish), locked iu
each other’s embrace, to the disgust of Lord Charles Spencer
(Mr. W. H. Vernon), the satisfaction of Lady Betty Noel (Miss
Fowler), and the surprise of all parties. A more complete
situation cannot be conceived. The picture tells its own story,
and requires no explanation. The play itself is of high merit,
and will command the stage for many months to come.

THE DISTRESS IN PARIS.

Reference has been made, on several occasions, to the distress
that hag. prevailed more severely than usual in the city of
Paris dunn£ £hc past winter. It was the effect of a
stagnation of trade, depriving many poor people of their
ordinary employmei t and wages, together with high prices
of food, fuel, and other commodities needful for the
daily support of Jife in the hard season of the year.
Among the charitable' agencies and institutions for the
relief of suffering familf V jrt this trying time, was that of a

and the branch pawning establishments, the articles of beddmg,
and sometimes of clothing, which had been pledged by their
owners for small sums of money. The fund began with a

Mardchale de Mac Mahon, Duchess of Magenta, wife of the
President of the French Government. Our Illustration shows
the scene at the branch office in the Rue Servan, Quartier de la
Ilociuette The recovery and redistribution of these goods was
a rather interesting business operation. The profits of the
Mont de Yitti go to maintain the Paris hospitals, so that the
city poor get the benefit, one way or another, of their pay-
merits at the rate of ten per cent, for interest on the money
lent them during a year and a day. There are reckoned to
be 105 400 persons relieved by the established Paris chanties,
with very little begging. The list of special beneficent insti-
tutions includes those for the care of the sick and wounded,
having 8500 beds, almshouses or hospices, orphan schools,
blind schools, deaf and dumb schools, lunatic and idiot asylums.
The hospitals are endowed by means of a tax on theatrical
entertainments, and a grant by the municipality of Pans.

MUSIC.

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.

The performances of last week following that of the opening
night (Tuesday) consisted of “Crispinoe la Comare on the
Thursday and a repetition of 44 La Traviata ’—with the second
appearance of MdJle. Heilbron—on Saturday. In the work
first named Mdlie. Marimon (formerly of Her Majesty s Opera)
made her first appearance at the Royal Italian Opera-House,
and her lively acting and graceful singing in the character of
Aunetta ensured her favourable reception. Of Ricci s light and
vivacious music to the farcical libretto of ^ Cnspino e la
Comare ” we have before spokeu—on the occasion of its repre¬
sentation by the Italian Opera Buffa Company at the Lyceum
Theatre in 1871. The work was first produced in this country
at the Royal Italian Opera-House in 1868, and gained accept¬
ance chiefly by the charm of Madame Adelma Patti’s per¬
formance as Annetta, and the humour of Ronconi as the cobbler,
her husband. It argues no small merit, therefore, m Mdlie.
Marimon to have gained the favour of her new audience in a part
with such associations surrounding it. Among the several suc¬
cessful points in her representation were the scene with Cnspino
a* the close of the first act, and the delivery of the characteristic
Venetian ballad, 4 ‘ La Fritola.” Signor Ciampi, who replaced
Signor Ronconi in the repetition of the opera in 1S()7, again
gave great force to the broad comic humour of Cnspino; and
Signor Tagliafico was, also as before, a very effective repre¬
sentative of Mirabolano ; Signor Capponlhfcing again appeared
as the other doctor, Fabrizzio—the tno^r these characters
and Crispino (in the third act) creating the same effect as
formerly, involving a necessary repetition of the latter portion.
In the small tenor part of Contino Signor Sabater made his
first appearance, and was well received. The cast was com
pleted by Mdllc. Corai, as La Comare, Signor Rossi, as Bartoto,
and Signor Fallar, as Don Asdrubale. /

quence of the impression which it produced on its performance
at the Crystal Palace concert of March 21, when it was first
heard in this country, as noticed by us. Last Saturday’s pro¬
gramme included Mendelssohn’s “ Lobgesang “ Hymn of
Praise”), which was effectively given by band and chorus,
with Madame Leinmens-Sherringtoix, Miss Katharine Poyntz,
and Mr. Vernon Rigby as solo vocalists. Sir W. S. Bennett s
44 Dantasie-Overture,” entitled 44 Paradise and the Peri, and
miscellaneous vocal pieces, completed the selection.

The programme of general arrangements for the forthcoming
triennial Handel Festival at the Crystal Palace has just been
issued. As heretofore, there will be four public days,^ the
grand rehearsal on Friday, June 19, comprising many of the
principal features of each day’s performance, the first of which
will consist of “ The Messiah,” on Monday, dune 22, Wednes¬
day boing appropriated to a selection of pieces, among which
will be several that have not been before given at these fes¬
tivals, such as choruses from “Saul,” 44 Susanna’ and the
44 Ode to St. Cecilia,” the 44 Utrecht” Jubilate, &e. ; besides
one of the organ concertos to be performed by Mr. Best
organist of St. George’s Hall, Liverpool. This year’s scheme
will continue the precedent, long established, of closing. , the
festival on the Friday (June 26), with “Israel in Lgypt the

the Royal Italian Oper . House—including the co-operation of

HER MAJESTY’S OPERA.

Mdlie. Lod 3 second appearance — more than once postponed
on account her continued indisposition—took place on Satur¬

day, and ' .as materially enhanced the good impression which
she mad,* on her ddbut as Amina in “ I^a Sonnambula.” In her
perfo' iiiance as Gilda, in “lligoletto,” she displayed much
dm iiitio power, especially in the duet with her father
(Iligoletto) in the first act, and in the still greater scene with
he despairing Jester, when traced by him to the palace of the
Duke. In Gilda’s aria, “Caro nome,” Mdlie. Lodi’s brilliant
and facile vocalisation called forth enthusiastic applause and
an encore. Signor Galassi, as Rigoletto, acted and sang with
much force and earnestness, especially in the great scene with
the Jester’s daughter, already referred to. Other portions of
the cast were as on former occasions, including Signor Naudin
as the Duke, and Madame Trebelli-Bettini as Maddalena, the
small part of Sparafucile having been filled by Signor Costa,
the recent debutant already spoken of. Sir Michael Costa
has conducted the performances, as usual.

For this week four operas were announced— 44 11 Trova-
tore ” on Monday, 44 La Sonnambula ” on Tuesday (repetitions),
“ Marta” on Thursday, and “La Favorita” on Saturday.

Music, as usual, forms an important feature in the pro¬
ceedings of the Easter week. On Monday, in association with
the opening of the International Exhibition, a grand military
and vocal concert was given at the Royal Albert Hall in the
afternoon ; both our Italian opera establishments have entered
on their full career; the sixth and last concert of the second
season of the British Orchestral Society took place on Thurs¬
day ; the Sacred Harmonic Society were to perform 4 4 Judas
Maccabious ” on Friday ; and to-night (Saturday) the fifth and
la*t of M. Gounod’s concerts is to take place ; so that there has
been abundance of music of various kinds for the entertain¬
ment of holiday audiences.

The Wagner Society's closing concert of the series is post¬
poned from April 1U to May 13.

The Good Friday aacred concert at the Crystal Palace was
heard by over thirty thousand people. Madame Lemmens-
Sherrington gained her accustomed encore by her brilliant
rendering of 44 Let the bright Seraphim ; ” and Mr. Vernon
Rigby was the tenor in place of Mr. Sims Reeves, whose illness,
we regret to learn, continues. The most noticeable features of
the concert were the deeply impressive singing of “ O, Rest in
the Lord,” by Miss Antoinette Sterling, whose powerful con¬
tralto voice was instinct with true religious feeling ; and the
fervour with which Mr. Sautley sang Gounod’s rrngiug song
from 44 Nazareth,” “Though poor be the chamber.

Although there was no novelty at last Saturdays Crystal

interest. Brahms's beautiful 44 Schicksalslied ” (“Song of

THEATRES.

GLOBE.

Easter Monday ha-^een here celebrated by the production of
a new drama fror/the pen of Mr. James Albery. It is in three
acts, and has , vidently been suggested by recent events ; in
fact, though i the form of a comedy, it is little more than a
burlesque late celebrated trial. Mr. J. L. Toole appears
in it as an eccentric counsel, holding his first brief, and making
all man:. > of mistakes in conducting his case. In the first act
we 8e r . Sim at his lodgings, with his wife and two sons, reduced
to^p-li' manner of expedients for maintaining appearances. The
8t *. a.6 is divided into two or three compartments, so that the
> ♦hdience may note the series of dodges resorted to for the con¬
cealment of extreme poverty. The wife (Miss T. Lavis) is
about to cut up the barrister’s gown for a coat for her
eldest boy, not expecting that her husband will want it
professionally, when a chance turns up in his favour, and he
is retained by the Hon. Miss Kenceutie, sister to the late Lord
Kenceutic, to conduct her case against a claimant, who assumes
to be the present representative of the title. The situation,
such as it is, is sustained by a profusion of humorous dialogue,
of which Mr. Toole, of course, makes the most. But the fun
culminates in the trial scene, where pictures are exhibited for
proof of identity, and all manner of irrelevant questions are
put by Hammond Coote (Mr. J. L. Toole) to the witnesses, and
all manner of blunders are committed by the Lord Chief
Justice (Mr. Arthur Cecil), and every kind of absurdity in¬
dulged in by the opponent counsel. At length the incompetent
Coote is thoroughly roused to the importance of the situation ;
for the course of the evidence leads to the conclusion that he
himself is the missing lord. And now matters arc all changed
at home ; but Mrs. Coote lias to be prepared for the sudden
happy reverse of fortune, and to be induced to consent to the
marriage of her daughter with a young surgeon, which is done
through the medium of her son, who is dressed in his father’s
gown and wig and pleads the case for the lovers. Such is the
Bportive vein in which this three-act trill© is conceived. It is
entitled 44 Wig and Gown,” and will probably serve Mr. Toole’s
purpose in the provinces. The actor is fulfilling a farewell
engagement at this theatre, designed for the occupancy of a few
weeks only, previous to his departure for America. The new
drama was followed by the farce of “Ici On Parle Franyais,”
in which Mr. Toole sustained the part of Sprigging with his
usual vigour.

prince of walks’s.

The smaller theatres of the metropolis, having raised a repu¬
tation on the production of nfew pieces, have discovered that
they can relieve themselves of the expense by recasting our
standard comedies, rearranging the scenes, and supplying the
situations with new business. Among these -Sheridan’s master¬
piece has been found especially available. The management of
Mrs. Bancroft’s theatre has, accordingly, seen the advantage
of following in the wake of these revivals, and accom¬
plishing one of its own, which, for care and inventive¬
ness, should excel all previous efforts. “The School for
Scandal ” was revived in this spirit, on Saturday, with well-
deserved success. The whole of the plot has been digested into
four set scenes, and the ordinary traditions of the stage sub¬
stituted by new directions, forming now groups, aud producing
new’, and in some cases accidental, effects, besides affording
opportunity for illustrating the manners of the time to whicli
the action is related. The design is thoroughly carried out,
and, with the aid of costly costumes, is made singularly effective.
The company have distributed the parts among themselves with
judgment, and sustain them with great ability. Relieved from
following stage traditions, they take their own views of both
action and dialogue, and aim at novelty, if not originality,
in the conception and presentment of character and
conduct. The scenery, too, is of the choicest, and
painted and set with perfect good taste and talent.
Mrs. Bancroft gives a new version of Lady Teazle, Mr. Hare
another of feir Deter, Mr. Coghlan a striking one of Charles
fenrfoce, a raC| Jer con volitional one of Joseph.

Mr. Lm Kayne, as Sir Benjamin Backbite, could not be other
than g*od ; and Mr. Collette's Sir Oliver was respectable. As
Crabtree Mr. A. Wood was excellent; Mrs. Leigh Murray as
Mrs. Candour and Miss B. Wilton as Maria are both worthy
of commendation. Mr. Markby was careful an Trip, and Mr
Herbert ©anally so as Careless. Miss Fanny Josephs as Lady
fencer well deserves a line to herself. An air of politeness and
geutahty pervade* all the characters, having the immediate
eflect Of making them too much alike, but necessitating a
subtlety of delineation which kindles the hidden powers of the
actor. I lie success of revivals like this constitutes, indeed, the

-Th “r, W P , i<iCe by .,l ,r - ?• J ' ^ r0D . ^ five acts, entitled
‘The Ihumbacrcw,” has been produced bv Mcssii wilt,..

Joyce and W. R. Field, in the interest of jg Jolm s! CtaA*

This remarkable performer is charg- 1 with the task of realising
the character of Phineaa Petti'jiiogge, a country attorney,
whose name sufficiently desc»‘ .,es Ins identity. Mr. Clarke
exaggerates his peculiarities io any extent, and ascribes to
them such variety that his ^sources for promoting laughter
appear to be almost iiifin' U5. Though in five acts, the work is
a melodrama, and, in/ .A, even partakes of the quality of
extravaganza ; so tha' there is no end to the fun, aU derived
from well-known » dents and situations, here caricatured
with a freedom • v tyle which stands for no repairs. Mr.
Clarke is well rted by Miss Linda Dietz, Miss Edith Lynd,
and Messrs. J/ ..unvright, John Nelson, aud J. G. Graham.
There is much in the character that reminds us of Micawber—
neverthele? . there are shades of difference. Of course there if?,
as in otho hew pieces, a claimant, who in this gets possession
of the c -.-Ate, and to keep it attempts a murder, which Petfcie-
phog^ escapes—a ghastly incident, which is painted in all its
hor re, but to which a ludicrous turn is given that affords to
X rs. Clarke the final triumph. The drama, though in live act,

> remarkably brief. Each act concludes with a tableau,
iugeniously contrived aud effectively executed.

STRAND.

A pastoral drama, under the title of 44 May ; or Dolly's
Delusion,” adds another to the stage successes of Mr. Reece,
and provides Miss Ada Swanborough with a part which affords
her ample opportunity for exhibiting her peculiar talent. The
story is sufficiently simple. There are three suitors (repre¬
sented by Messrs. Terry, Odell, and Cox) who are rivals for
the lady’s hand, and compete with spirit for the coveted prize.
The most is made of these slender materials alike by the play,
wright and the players.

COURT.

A little piece of some mont was produced on Monday,
entitled “ Second Thoughts ; ” but there is a want of motive
for the action which diminished the interest; it is, besides,
rather too lengthy, and requires much tri mming and pruning.

It was, however, excellently acted by Miss Litton, Mrs.
Clifford Cooper, and Mr. E. Bruce ; aud to their efforts its
success must be attributed. It was preceded by the new play
of “ Ready-Money Mortiboy,” and Morton’s farce of “The
Thumping Legacy,” in which Mr. Hill assumed the part
originally filled by Mr. Keeley, and continually elicited the
uproarious merriment of the audience.

FRENCH PLAYS.

The season at the Holbom having closed, Messrs. Valnay
and Pitavn, to whose perseverance the frequenters of the
French plays are deeply indebted for the entertainment supplied
by T them under adverse circumstances, have removed to
the Princess’s, and began their spring season on Monday
with M. Sardou’B amusing comedy, 44 Nos Bons Villageois,” in
which Mdlie. Kelley and M. Gonget made their first appear¬
ances. The managers have an excellent stock company. It
comprises Didier, 8obey, Paul Legrand, and Leprevosfc, whose
talents are all well displayed in the performance. We may
add that many of the intended plays have, with a few emenda¬
tions, received the approval of the authorities ; and that during
the season some of the most attractive of the Parisian actresses
will be engaged.

We are requested to state that the successful opera of “ La
Fille de Madame Angot ” will be withdrawn in a few days
from the boards of the Opera Comique, in order to the pro¬
duction of the celebrated opdra boutfe of “Genevieve de
Brabant,” Miss Emily Soldene appearing in her original cha¬
racter of Drogau. Mr. Charles .Morton’s season will terminate
on May 30, when his opera-bouffe company intend visiting the
provinces.

EA8TER ENTERTAINMENTS.

THE MOORE AND BURGESS MINSTRELS.

A special performance took place, on Monday, in the grand
hall of the St. James's, Piccadilly, consisting of an entirely new
musical entertainment. There were several ballads sung then
for the first time :—“The Cold White Snow,” by Mr. Horace
Norman ; 44 Little Birdie, sing your sweetest,” by Mr. Sydney
Herbert; and 44 I’m a man who leads a wretched life,” by
Mr. Walter Howard. All these and others were delightfully
interpreted. There is no falling off in the attractions which,
in the negro melodies, still survive for the delight of those who
are enamoured of the union of music and sentiment which the
sable minstrels so skilfully provide for the amusement of their
numerous patrons.

AGRICULTURAL HALL.

The Easter carnival has crowded this ample edifice with
multitudes of pleasure - hunters, who have been greatly
gratified with the amusements provided. These are so multi¬
farious that they are indescribable. They comprehend a vast
fair, with peepshows and hobby-horses, aud a circus in whieb-
star artistes exhibit their various and wonderful feats. It i ,
of course, impossible to enter into deiail, which nothing but iiu
actual visit can properly supply.

CRYSTAL PALACE.

A special programme has been prepared for the holidays A
this place of combined amusement and instruction. The panto¬
mime theatre exhibits Mr. H. J. Byron’s “ Robinson Crusoe/’
accompanied with some capital scenery and appropriate
music. The company have also purchased the Wurteiubiug
collection of stuffed birds and animals, which is now added
to the other treasures of the palace. To monkeys and guinea-
pigs, even, Herr Pioucquet has given that one touch of human
nature which makes the whole world kin in a Darwinian sense,
as all will acknowledge, after enjoying the humorous attitudes
struck by the guinea-pigs skating and the monkey whist-party,
to say nothing of the numerous other irresistibly comic figure*.
This notable exhibition of German ingenuity comprises some
hundred groups of birds and beasts, cunningly arranged, in the
most lifelike manner, to represent hunting and other scenes, m
well as the droll representation of human foibles anil vanities
above alluded to. The Crystal Palace Aquarium has an inte¬
resting n • relty in the shape of a fine group of living corals,
recently' tight from the Mediterranean.

A large new graving-dock at Greenock, which has been in
course of construction since 1870, was opened last week. The
site cost £80,000, and the making of the dock cost £16,000.

In the account of the Mercantile Marine Fund for the year
1873, recently issued, the expenditure for the year in life-boats,
apparatus for saving life, and gratuities for saving lives
amounted to £6605.

The new railway bills before Parliament represent a nominal
capital of over £50,000,000. There are fifty-eight bills pro¬
moted by new companies, and 107 by existing companies. The
former contemplate an expenditure of £*6,000,000, and the
latter of £35,000,000.

The Com mission ere for Reduction of the National Debt
give notice that £374,122 13s. od., being one fourth port of
the surplus in the year ended Dec. 31 last, will be applied
in the quarter ending June 30, 1874, towards the reduction
of the National Debt.

The annual festival of the News venders’ Benevolent and
Provident Institution—at which Mr. Beresford-Uope, M.P.,
is to preside—will be held, on the 29th inst., at the
Criterion,

On Monday the foundation-stone was laid of a new lecture-
hall in connection with St. John’s United Presbyterian Church,
Devonshire-road, Forest-hili. The site of the new ball has been
presented, by Mr. F. J. Horniman, and the hall is being built
from the designs of Mr. Vickers, who acts as honorary
architect.

The people who make Good Friday a holiday were a good
deal interrupted in their pleasure-seeking by heavy rains and the
prevalence of a cold and rather boisterous wind. The numbers
who resorted to the various suburban places of amusement
were therefore smaller than usual. Nearly 33,000 persons,
however, were at the Crystal Palace. A singular custom w r as
observed iu the London Docks by the Portuguese and South
American sailors belonging to vessels lying there. It consisted
of flogging and otherwise contemptuously treating an effigy
representing Judas Iscariot, the false apostle. There were
large congregations at several of the Established and Roman
Catholic churches,

SCIENTIFIC RESULTS OF THE MONTH.

Notwithstanding the opposition offered to the introduction of
the monitor system of ironclads into our navy, the conviction
has at length become both general and irresistible that it is
upon that class of vessels we must chiefly rely in the event
of a naval war. Eight years ago we advocated the employ¬
ment of monitors with Bide armour 18 in. thick, backed
by 4 ft. of oak, with a single turret 24 in. thick, and two
20-inch wrought-iron guns ; and although the time would
come, we said, when even these proportions would be
inadequate, such a vessel, we maintained, would be
efficient for at least ten years. Instead of adopting this
intelligible method of procedure, the Admiralty lias gone on
building vessels which were always in arrear of the penetrating
power of tho beat existing gun, and we have now a whole
museum of antiquities in the way of ships, from the Warrior,
with its 4i-incli plates; tho Agiiieourt, with its 5^-inch ; the
Bellerophon, with its 6-inch ; the Monarch, with its 7-inch ; the
Hercules and Sultan, with their 8-inch; to the Thunderer and
Devastation, with their 12-inch and 14-inch, all of which aro
penetrable by existing guns, and all of which fail, consequently,
to fulfil the first function of armourclads, which is to keep shot
out. The Admiralty has certainly squandered an enormous
sum of money in the construction of useless vessels — a fault
which would have been avoided if they had called to their
councils the author of the monitor system; and this comae,
we are able to say, was open to their adoption. In the new
monitor Inflexible a considerable step will be made botli in
the thickness of the armour and tho weight of the guns. It is
stated that this vessel is to have two turrets 18 in. thick, with
two SO-ton guns in each, and that the side armour is to be
composed of two 12-in. plates, with an intermediate thickness
of wood. The fault we have to find with this structure is that
there are two turrets instead of one, for the monitor system is
essentially a system of concentration, which is only another
name for strength. It is clear, moreover, that an 18-in. turret
without wood backing is weaker than a 24-in. side with wood
backing, and tho strength of any structure is only the strength
of its weakest part. Still, the Inflexible, with all her faults,
would have been a great step in advance if that step had been
taken eight or even six years ago. It is now inadequate.

A cupola furnace for melting metals is shown at the Man¬
chester Exhibition, which effects a considerable saving in fuel
by the use of a double row of twyeres, of which the upper
row carries air to bum the carbonic oxide generated by the
ascent through the fuel of the products of combustion generated
by the lower row. From this furnace, which is called Voisin’s
furnace, no flame proceeds, the combustible gases being burnt
within the cupola itself.

The pigmies alluded to by Homer and other classical poets
as inhabiting the interior of Africa, and as being attacked and
giving battle to cranes, there is now some reason to believe were
not a pure poetical invention, as the German traveller,
Scbweinfurth, has found that races of stunted growth do
actually exist in the region of the Albert Nyanza, and he
believes these people to be the descendants of the pigmies re¬
ferred to by tradition. Du Chaillu is believed to be the only
other traveller who has come in contact with this people, the
average stature of which, he says, is about 4 ft. 7 in.

At a meeting of the Chemical Society, held during the past
month, a very able lecture was delivered by Professor Dewar
“ Ou Dissociation.” The first important step in the elucidation
of the nature and laws of dissociation as opposed to combina¬
tion was the discovery by Grove that water was decomposed at
a lower temperature than that produced by the combination of
oxygen and hydrogen ; and it was inferred that by heating
steam to tlie temperature of 2000 deg. 0. it would bo separated
into oxygen and hydrogen. Deville’s experiments on the in¬
stability of compounds at high temperatures proved that the
decomposition of carbonic anhydride, carbonic oxide, water,
&e., took place at a certain high temperature, and as the tem¬
perature was lowered that combination again occurred. It is
found that there is a definite relation between the amount of
decomposition and the temperature; or, in other words, that the
tension of dissociation is a function of the temperature, it is also
found that mechanical rarefaction increases dissociation, while
mechanical compression diminishes it.

In a report recently received from Captain Biddulph, com*
nianding the advanced party of the Yarkund Embassy, mention
is made of the value of sheep as baggage animals iu passing
over the rugged and elevated region which had to be traversed
on the route. In these districts sheep are habitually used as
beasts of burden. The Tartars usually make them carry a load
of 82 lb., and march seven or eight miles a day. The greatest
difficulty they had to contend against on the road to Yarkund
was in crossing the streams, where the water which hung about
the fleece froze and added to the weight, besides which tho
articles carried were sometimes damaged. Tlie load on each
animal was secured by breast and breech ropes, and, sinkiug
into the wool, was not liable to shift. One man managed tho
flock. A great part of the route was over rough and stony
ground, some of it at an elevation of nearly 20,000 ft. But
only one sheep broke down.

An interesting paper by Sir J. Lubbock, on the Habits of
Bees and Wasps, has during the past month been read before
the Limiean Society. Hufier, in Ins Natural History of Ants-
says that wasps are acquainted with the mode of imparting in¬
formation to their companions, and that, when a single w'asp
finds a store of honey or sugar, it returns in a short time with
a hundred companions. But Sir J. Lubbock does not find this
statement to be verified by experiment. He found that single
bees who had discovered a store of honey passed to and from the
hive on an average five times in the hour; but they did not
bring other bees with them. The same rule he found to hold
good in the case of wasps. He also came to the conclusion that
neither wasps nor bees could hear at all ; but he believed they
could distinguish colours.

The Channel tunnel has been discussed during the pa*t
month at the Society of Arts, a paper on tlie subject having
been read by Mr. Hawes, followed by a discussion in which Sir
J. Hawkshaw and others took part. Mr. Hawes stated that
by the machine invented by Mr. Brunton for boring through
chalk or other soft strata, the operation of forming the tunnel
would not be very formidable, the rate of progress attained at
8nodland, near Maidstone, where the machine was tried,
having been a yard per hour. At this rate a driftway 7 ft. 9 in.’
diameter might be driven below the Channel in two years,
and the tunnel, it was reckoned, could he completed in five or
six years, at a cost of eight or ten millions sterling, on which
Mr. Hawes reckoned there would be a return of about 7£ per
cent. No doubt, a tunnel with a railway through it will be
made some day. The question is whether, seeing that the
traffic between Franco and England has hitherto been so
little developed, we are yet ripe for so great an experiment,
and whether an improved boat traffic should not be established
first, so that the traffic may be gradually nursed up to the point
that would justify an expenditure of ten millions on a tunnel.
The tunnels under the Thames have not been very profitable
speculations.

LONDON , SATU RDAY\ APRIL 18, 1874.

The public meeting convened by the Lord Mayor aud
held at the Mansion House on Tuesday last, with a view
to further the public subscription towards the relief of
suffering from the prevailing famine in Bengal, was as
timely as it will, no doubt, prove to be effective. The
principal speakers, Lord Salisbury, Lord Lawrence, and
Professor Fawcett, did much to dissipate that haze of
opinion as to the state of facts which has greatly tended
to paralyse the liberality of the British public. Hence¬
forth, there can be no reasonable misgiving as to the
need that exists for supplementing Governmental effort
by individual beuevolence, to as large an extent as
possible, in the attempt to cope with the gigantic evil
which now impends over large and populous districts of
our Eastern Dependency. We are glad that this step
has been taken. It is much to be deplored that any
difference of judgment as -to the most effectual means
of meeting a calamity which threatens the lives of
millions of human beings should have restrained and
retarded the spontiineous extension of succour which in
this country, happily, is ever ready to be given in re¬
sponse to any appeal on behalf of the di.sfcre.ssed. It
may, we think, be taken for granted that nothing but
misapprehension with regard to the exigencies of the
occasion has kept the Mansion House fund from having
risen to a far higher amount than has hitherto been con¬
tributed ; and it may be that, with tho best possible
intentions, individuals of high name and authority, but
whom we have no desire to specify, have made them¬
selves responsible for having suppressed to a very Large
extent that impulse to give which would otherwise have
been sure to gratify itself. But “ Tis never too late to
mend. ?; In the present instance, we are happy to
believe, the disposition of the British public to stretch
forth a ministering hand to Lidia may yet be complied
with in time to command all the beneficial results which
it could contemplate, and such results may now be fairly
anticipated.

As to the appalling magnitude of the danger which
confronts us, no room is left for the entertainment of a
doubt. Those who are best acquainted with India, aud
with the circumstances, character, and habits of the
population, and, we may add, those who are most deeply
responsible for the means to be adopted to avert, or at
any rate to mitigate, the famine, agree in representing it
in the most gloomy colours. Tlie pressure of it has but
just commenced. The various phases of it have bit
dimly appeared. The probable duration of it has harlly
been taken into account. We have to wrestle with a
ghastly foe which will demand our utmost exertion to
subdue. The dearth of food in Bengal and Bsliir
may be continued through the summer and up to
the close of tho autumn months. Tho proportion
of the population to be fed largely increases week
by week. Tho aged, the feeble, aud the very
young are already hovering on the brink- of sfcirva-
tion. As the distress is protracted the constitutional
vigour even of the ablebodied will be severely straineh
The Government of India is taxing all its to

meet the multifarious demands of the occasion, anl iu
the main, thero is reason to hope, will be successful.
But, inevitably, that success must be imperfect. The
remedy in its hands must, from the very nature of it3
constitution, fail to cover the whole breadth of misery
which it is sought to alleviate. When it has done its
utmost, aud has done it well, there w r ill remain a wide
margin of suffering, which nothing but private benevo¬
lence can hope to assuage.

It was lucidly and eloquently pointed out by tlie
Marquis of Salisbury—and lug observations were cor¬
roborated by other speakers—that tho assistance rendered
by the Government of India to its starving subjects
must necessarily be limited by rigid rules and regula¬
tions. JJ orms of distress will present themselves outside
the domain of those rules, which it will bo impossible for
it to touch. Its one great duty will be to save life, lint
even life may be saved under conditions which will
expose it to severe privation and almost intolerable suf¬
fering. We have had experience of this at home. A
famine in Irelandancta paralysis of manufacturing industry
in Lancashire have taught us how great tho claims of our
suffering fellow - men may be upon U 3 beyond that
provision of bare subsistence which may suffice to pre¬
vent the extinction of life. The interpositioa of private
benevolence may be loudly called for even where com¬
plete provision has been made for the sustenance of bare
vitality. It is not permitted us, therefore, t<5 conclude
that, when Government has done all that lies within its
proper sphere, no field will remain for the’ exercise of

spontaneous lil crnlity. None of us, in the facs of tin
dire honor which threatens Bengal, can reasonably pre¬
sume that his individual efforts will be superfluous.
Want calls aloud to us from beyond the boundary within
which official aid must needs be confined, and where the
voice of want makes itself distinctly heard English
sympathy and help are not wont to be withheld.

There is, however, an additional plea for prompt
liberality on the part of the English people, which we
are confident will have great force. When the cotton
dearth suddenly smote the manufacturing industry of
Lancashire, India was among the foremost to come to
the rescue. Iler princes, her landowners, her merchants,
and her peoplo acted at once on the generous impulse
which the greatness of the calamity stirred in their
hearts. They sent over contributions amounting to no
less than two hundred thousand pounds. Out of their
poverty their liberality abounded. Can wo do less?
The national wealth of England immensely exceeds, in
the aggregate, that of India. There is no retil want
of interest in the well-being of our swarthy fellow-
subjects among the people of these isles. It needed
only that the exact state of facts should bo made
known to them by competent authority. The West,
we surmise, will not allow itself to bo outdone by the
East in a matter of charitable help. We take pride, as
Mr. Fawcett intimated, in the glory of our extended
Empire, we exult in the possession of our Eastern De¬
pendency. Our relations to it infer commensurate
responsibilities. We boast of our civilisation, of our
Christianity. Let us remember, however, and yield to
the force of the old French maxim, “ Noblesse oblige
We are bound for own sakes, for the sake of our pro¬
fession, our character, and our honour, to reach forth
with promptitude and decision a helping hand towards
our famished brethren. The case, however, as we have
already said, is one which needs only to be stated ; and
at the meeting at the Mansion House, on Tuesday last,
this was done with clearness and force. Its owrn w f cighfc
w ill be its best argument.

THE COURT.

44 KNIGHTS GOING TO BATTLE.”

In the picture by Sir John Gilbert, A.R.A., which was ex¬
hibited last year by the Society of Painters in Water Colours,
wc see the chivalrous van-leaders of a medieval army, such as
is described in some of the historical romances of Sir Walter
Scott—

With all their banners bravely spread.

Ami all their armour flashing high.

A very brilliant and lively spectacle, no doubt, of the “ pomp
and circumstance'' of old-fasliioned warfare! The young
Prince or Lord who commands this party, choosing himself to
bear the standard as he approaches the ranks of his foe-
men, has disdained the usual protection of the steel casque or
morion, such as is worn by his comrades riding on each side.
His head is covered with a simple velvet cap ; but, with this
.exception, he is clad in a complete suit of plate armour-,
and is no doubt quite ready to take in hand cither lance,
or mace or battle-axe, or sword, for the actual combat
now about to begin. The horses, we should think, are
likely to suffer worse than the Knights in the coming fray ; but
w hen a fully armoured cavalier was once dismounted lie could
not be expected to fight with much agility on foot. His vic¬
torious antagonist, on the other hand, might find it moro diffi¬
cult to pierce him in a vital part of the body than the Roman
gladiator when a prostrate competitor in the arena was con¬
demned to death by the “pollice verso.” For this reason, to
save time and trouble in the field, and to make a certain pecu¬
niary gain of the achievements of martial prowess, it was custoni-
aiy to admit each overthrown and captive knight to rausom.
As for the poor unannonred yeomen and peasants, who carried
their spears, bills, and bows in the train of these gallant
gentlemen, they were left to the common chance 3 of slaughter.
It was just the same, as wc learn from Homer’s Iliad, with tho
Greek and Trojan soldiery following those (aristocratic heroes
of antiquity w ho wore brazen armour like that of Sir Walter’s
English and Scottish knights. What seems rather odd, but
Mr. Gladstone is perhaps able to justify it, the famous Achillea
had tho finest suit of armour, Vulcan's patent manufacture,
though he was invulnerable, ail but one heel, from the mystic
effect of a bath in the Styx. If Sir Garnet Wolseley, or any
other modern commander in war, had gone into battle with a
twofold protection for his precious body, while the private
soldiers of his army marched with no such defence—what
should we say of the hero in that case ? Some might call him
a bully and coward.

THE

VOLUNTEER FIELD DAY.

The Easter Monday display of field manoeuvres on Wimbledon-
common Ly 12,0110 men of the Volunteer Rifle Corps, with some
of the Guards,! Royal Artillery, and Carabiniere of the regular
Army, w as a holiday entertainment for nearly 100,000 London
people. As a military performance it w r as less remarkable,
since the crowd of spectators rather interfered wfith the mani¬
fest execution of a tactical plan. But, like the Derby Day at
Epsom or the Oxford and Cambridge boat-race on the Thames,
it w as a great occasion of popular interest; and our two pages
of Sketches represent a variety of the scenes aud incidents
which attended this exhibition of volunteer soldiership.

The forces collected were divided into a Northern and a
Southern army—the former supposed to belong to Middlesex,
the latter to Surrey. The first was commanded by Prince
Edward of Saxe-Weimar, the second by Colonel Stephenson,
C.B., of the Scots Fusilier Guards.

The Northern Anny, assembled in Hyde Park, for Mid¬
dlesex, consisted of four brigades, under command respectively
of Colonel Lord Truro (4tli Middlesex), Colonel Shipley, Colonel
Hyde Page, and Colonel Hepburn (Scots Fusilier Guards).
The first brigade was composed of tho Uxbridge division
Middlesex Yeomanry Cavalry, the 1st London Artillery Volun¬
teers, and the 2nd and 7th Administrative Battalions, 4th, 9th,
and 18th Middlesex Rifles. The second brigade comprised the
2nd Tower Hamlets Engineers, 40th, 4Gth, and 49fch Middlesex
Rifles, 1st Administrative Battalion, and 1st Tower Hamlets
Rifles. The third brigade included the F battery of the Hon.
Artillery Company, with four gnus, the London division
Middlesex Yeomanry, and the 15th, 19th, 22nd, 23rd, and 38fcli
Middlesex Rifles. The fourth brigade was formed of the 2(>th,
3Gtb, 37th, and 39fch Middlesex Rifles. Attached to the
Northern Army were a squadron of the 1st Life Guards and one
of the Royal Horse Guards.

The Southern Army (that of Surrey), commanded by Colonel
Stephen son, was in three brigades, under Lord Bury, Colonel
Rich, C.B., and Colonel Lane Fox. The first brigade of this
force was made up of the 2nd, 1st, llth, 20th, 21st, and 29th
Middlesex Rifles. In the second brigade were the 3rd Middlesex
Artillery, 1st London Engineers, and 1st, 2nd, and 3rd London
Rifles. The remaining brigade consisted of Hie 1st, 2nd, 3rd,
and 4th Administrative Battalions, 2nd, 7th, and 19th Surrey
Rifles, and 5th Essex Rifles. Tho 5th Middlesex, City of
London, and Surrey brigades composed part of this force, to
which were attached a squadron of Carabiniers aud two
batteries of the Royal Artillery.

The staff of Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar, commanding
the Northern Army, was composed of Lieut.-Colonel E. LIT
Clive, Grenadier Guards, Lieut.-Colonel Blundell, Captain the
Hon. G. Villicrs; Lieut.-Colonel H. Brown, M.P., 1st Lanca¬
shire Artillery; Major Blundell, 3rd Hussars; Captain the
Hon. E. Boscawen, Coldstream Guards; Captain the Hon. R.
Campbell, Coldstream Guards; Captain A. Van de Weyer,
Grenadier Guards.

Colonel Stephenson's staff was composed of Lieut.-Colonel
Lord W. Seymour, Coldstream Guar els; Major P. D. Vigors,
19th Regiment; Lieutenant A. Cyprian Knollys, Scots Fusilier
Guards; Captain H. G. M‘Gregor, 29th Foot; Captain II. W.
Hummel, llth Middlesex Rifles.

The umpire staff were Colonel M. Bruce, Grenadier Guards ;
Colonel G. \V. A. Higginson, C.B., Grenadier Guards; Colonel

ia progressing favourably and the

the Hon. P. R. B. Fielding, C.B., Coldstream Guards ; Colonel
the Hon. W. H. A. Fielding, Coldstream Guards* Colonel G.
Hydo Page, commanding 47th Sub-District; Lieut.-Colonel
Woolsey, R.A.

The general idea of the operations may be briefly described.
The Nonhem Army was supposed to march from the north and
W'cst parts of Middlesex against the Southern Army, imagined
to be occupying Croydon. In order to prevent the junction of
the wester n with the northern forces of the enemy the com¬
mander of the Southern Army-detached, to occupy the Wimble¬
don position, three brigades of infantry with artillery, who, if
possible, were to advance to Richmond Park and to watch the
bridges over the Thames between Hammersmith and Kingston.
At ten n.m., by w hich hour the Southern Army wa3 supposed
to, and actually- did, arrive at the Wimbledon position, the first
brigade of the Northern Army, having crossed the Thames at
Richmond, had advanced to East Sheen ; the fourth brigade,
forming the advanced guard of the main body, was to holt on

Barnes-common after crossing Hammersmith Bridge ; while tho
second and third hi igades were supposed to be on the march to
cross the same bridge. In accordance with this idea, tho
operations were to begin by tho Northern Army driving tho
Southern force out of Richmond Park.

Colonel Stephenson, with tho Southern or Surrey Army,
took up a position extending from Ctesar’s Camp on tho south
of Wimbledon-common to beyond the windmill on the north. IIis
first line at the outset was in advance of the line,of butts,with
strong outposts, supports, and reserves thrown forward to tho
edge of Baveley l-rook, a streamlet which, running iu tho
valley betw een the Wimbledon plateau and the high ground of
Combe Wood and Richmond Park, crosses the Kiugston-road
in Putney Bottom, thcucc running north, parallel to tho side
of Richmond Park, cuts through a corner of tho inclosure by
Rochampton Gate, and flows past Mortlake into the Thames at
Barnes Urns. It was only at two points that a direct at tick
could be made, and these, therefore, were strongly gaarded.
The flanks of the position were assailable on tho left from south
of Combe Wood, which formed a screen to hide the intentions
of an enemy, and on tho right by an attack coming directly
from the north through Roehampfcon, and reaching the plateau
behind the ravine in front of the running-deer butt, and far in
rear of the position held by the Southern army.

The Northern or Middlesex Army, numbering 7000, under
Prince Edward of Saxe-Weiinar, marched from Hyde Park and
over Hammersmith Bridge, and across Barnes-common, arriving
in Richmond Park about noon. It ivas then determined that
the Middlesex army should attack the main position of tho
•Surrey Army, which was at the Old Intrenchmerit, commanding
both the deecent from Richmond Park aud a length of Kingston
road, from Kingston Hill on tho south-west to Putney Bottom
on the north-east. Tho attack commenced by the advance from
the Robin Hood Gate of the first and fourth brigades, under
cover of the fire of the Hon. Artillery Company’s battery,
which was got into an excellent position on tho slopes between
the park and Combe Wood. Tho enemy lost no time in reply¬
ing to the four G-poundera of the Hon. Artillery Company;
but skirmishers were thrown out from tho 2nd and 7oh
Administrative Battalions of the Middlesex , Rifles, from
tho 4tb, 9th, and lSlk Middlesex Rifles, all in tho
first brigade, and from the 2Gth, 33th, 37th, and 3Dbh,
in the second brigade. Those skirmishing parties crept
down the descent and across tho road; but they were
oiiposed by a continuous rifle fire. Sfr it w\snt on till half-past
three, when an attack was made upon the centre bf the line,
resulting in a sharp fusillade. Just then several fires wore
blazing away at different parts of the common, ths furze
having been ignited, and immense pillars of smoko rolled over
the combatants, partially obscuring some and altogether con*
eealing others. The battle had now' been going on for nearly
three hours. An important position on the left had been lout
by the Southern force, wfiiilo tho Horse Guards and the
Life Guards had succeeded in turning the right of Colonel
Stephenson’s line, and the Inns of Court Volunteer <Jorp 3 were
pressing forward with irresistible energy. The fact was that
Prince Edward had advanced from Richmond Park by the
Robin Hood Gate; that the Household cavalry ha l turned tho
flank cf the Surrey force, cutting off one squadron of the Cara¬
biniere ; end that the Inns of Court Volunteers, with whom
were brigeded Hie London Scottish and others, had taken tho
Southern force in flank. The 3rd London changed their front
and opened fire upon the enemy, but unavailmgly. At four
o’clock the flanking operation on the right appeared to bo com¬
pleted ; still the battle was anything but over on the left of
Colonel Stephenson's line, where there was a rattling furillade
going on. This lasted perhaps ten minutes longer; then it
died away, and the batHo of Wimbledon wa 3 over.

The scenes-presented by the engraved sketches, in different
parts of the field and the roads approaching it, during several
hours of the day, before and after the sham-tight, as well as in
the midst of its exciting turmoil, are such as need scarcely be
explained to our readers. Those who have ever witueised au
exhibition of mimic warfare in the neighbourhood of London,
are quite familiar wfith these amusing minor null inti of a
fiold-day hereabouts.

“NINA.”

During two or three years past our attention has been occa¬
sionally arrested, both at home and abroad (out of Italy), by
pictures, no larger than our Engraving, of little Italian boys
and girls by a Roman painter bearing the name of the old
Venetian master, Bonifazi. The merits of these works are their
great, though unpretending, fidelity to the characteristics of tho
small folk depicted, their uni veto of expression, their delicacy
of modelling, and the feeling for the picturesque shown in the
bits of national costume introduced within the restricted limits
of bust portraiture. The litHe ones of Signor A. Bonifazi are
not the ideal cherubs of many non-Italian painters—they

malaria is more than ordinarily poisonous, for there both
children and adults betray its baneful influence in their fever-
worn features, sallow' complexion, and wistful look of pain.
Yet there is nothing of the conventional Italian about our
Nina. She has not a “ Roman nose; "she has not even tho
“low* Italian brow r ." Her nationality might possibly not be
suspected, save for her unkempt hair aud dark lustrous eye 3
veiled by black lashes, not to be matched for length and thick¬
ness, out of Italy. Those who know' the Romans best will,
however, recognise a familiar type. In the picture, moreover,
the colours and trimmings of her dress, as well as her collar,
would proclaim her origin; whilst her necklace and earrings
suggest that fondness for trinkets and personal ornament!
winch the very poorest of Italian women contrive to indulge.

A new Corn Exchange at Bedford was opened, on Wednes¬
day, by the Duke of Bedford.

large accumulation of the noxious vapour w r as liberated, and an
explosion ensued wrhich has caused a deplorable loss of life.
The total number of the killed is supposed to bo about fifty.

FRANCE.

(From our Correspondent in Paris.)

Thursday, April 16.

The Septennat is making a final effort, through the Due de
Broglie’s Minister of Justice, to cause its authority to be
respected. Since the commencement of the recess the Legitimist
ap(l Bcnapartist journals have been unusually active in organ¬
ising, the ones the Monarchy, the others the Empire—-on
paper — and speaking most contemptuously of Marshal
MacMahon and his advisers. M. Emile Ollivier has inaugu¬
rated Ins return into the political arena by an extremely violent
aHiclo in the Liberty advocating a plebiscitum. and denying
the irrevocability of the Septennat, which the ex-Napoleonic
Minister maintains would imply the Assembly’s abdication of
all its rights. The Union, also—the Count de Cliambords
confidential organ—has been busy proclaiming that the pre¬
sentation of the so-called constitutional bills by the Ministry
to the Committee of Thirty pleases the majority from its
engagements with the Cabinet, and reinvests. it with full
liberty of action with regard to the maintenance of
Maishal MacMahon’s powers. The Government has
responded to these attacks by a couple of communvnUs warn¬
ing the journals in question that they are exposing themselves
to repressive measures, and by a circular addressed by the
Minister of Justice to the public prosecutors inviting them to
tnke immediate proceedings against any newspaper contesting
the powers conferred by tho National Assembly for seven years
upon the Duo de Magenta.

This circular appears to have enraged the Royalist organs
beyond measure, and tbo Due dc Broglie and his colleagues are
informed that the whole of the Right of the Assembly agrees
with the Unioil> and the Gazette de France in considering the
proposed organisation of the Septennat as violating the law of
Nov. 19, and that it will unanimously vote against the proposed
Constitutional laws, and will spare no pains to overthrow the
Cabinet and, if need bo, tho Marshal hini3eif. In fact, th8
Legitimist press promises us a veritable revolution for next
month, and openly challenges the Minister of Justice to have
hi4 instructions to the public prosecutors carried into effect.
As uo proceedings have been taken against the journals using
this outspoken language, one must presume them to bo in tho
right, .and that, as far as they are concerned, the Government
is absolutely powerless to enforce respect.

But if the Monarchical journals enjoy exemption from pro¬
secution, the crusade against the Republican pro3S continues
with unabated vigour. During tho past week atone one news¬
paper. the Progrte dc la Somme, has been suppressed ; another,
the 1U forme of Toulouse, has been suspended tor three months ;
while the sale of four others has been interdicted on the public
way. Occasionally, however, this Governmental persecution
of the presE meets with a well-merited rebuff, as in the instance
of fthe Artnir National, a well known Radical organ, which
wai recently suppressed by the Governor of Baris. The pro¬
prietors immediately brought it out under the title of LX Vrfle
dc Paris ; but, legal proceedings being taken against thorn,
they were condemned by the Tribunal of First Instance anlby
the Appeal Court successively to cease publishing their journal.
Eventually, however, tho case caiue before the Oour de Cassa¬
tion, and the supremo legal tribunal has decided that the pub¬
lication of the I ilk dc Paris is perfectly legal, and has, more¬
over, condemned the Government to pay tho costa of all three
actions. T his unexpected decision has caused no little sensa¬
tion ; the pul lie prosecutor, who pleaded for the Ministry, lias
resigned his poet, and eo great, it is said, was the commotion
in the .Cabinet that a Ministerial crisis was with difficulty
warded off.

The spring session of the C ouncils - Gene r X\ has begun,
and, according to ail accounts, it will be brief and eoin-
parativt Jy unimportant. It is possible there will be no session
at all in 'Corsica, where Prince Napoleon is President of the
Council, as only t wenty-cine out of sixty-two members attended
the inaugural fitting, rendering it impossible to transact any
business. It mms that the greater numb a* of the absentees
were Pouapm lists, who stayed away to signify their displeasure
at tiie Pi inceV conduct in relation to the Empress and the Prince
Imperial. At Marseilles tho President’s inaugural address was
followed by cordHetipg shouts of “Vive 1e Roi !” and “Vive
la IU'pnblique ! " in the public tribunes, whereupon the Council
unanimously decided to have the spectators expelled, and
continued its silting with dosed doors.

Cc nsideiablc seneatftra has been caused in Republican circles
in consequence of General Ghanzy having placed Algeria in a
state of siege. The General had always passed for a Repub¬
lican, and at one epoch was President of the Left Centre group
in the Assembly. M. Cremieux, deputy for Algiers, has
written him a lengthy letter with reference to tho measure he
has taken—due, it would appear, to a scurrilous Radical paper
having abused the municipality, but to which tho General has
as ytt given no reply.

There has been another great financial crash this week.
M. Clement Duvernois, editor of the Ordre, and Minister of
Commerce and Agriculture for a brief period under the falling
Empire, has been arrested, together with two other well-known
French speculators, MM. Wolff and Frankel, on various
charges of fraud in connection with their administration of the
so-called Territorial Bank of Spain.

SPAIN.

There has been no resumption of hostilities between Carlists
and Republican* in the north. Rough weather has interfered
w ith telegraphic communications, and rendered military opera¬
tions all but impossible. Marshal Serrano has telegraphed to
the Government at Madrid announcing that, up to the 10th
inst.; operations in the north were rendered impracticable
on account of tho rain and stormy weather. On the Sth inst.
fifty cannon had been placed in position before Abanto. On
Monday Admiral Topete wont to Madrid by special train, and
was immediately afterwards present at a Cabinet Council.
Since that time the Admiral has been in frequent conference
with Ministers, previous to returning to his head-quarters with
tho AnHy of the North. General Concha’s plan of operation!
against the Carlists, submitted to Marshal Serrano, and by him
rejected, is understood to have been in effect a march of 20,ODD
picked men into Navarre by way of Logrono, leaving the
Marshal with the rest of tho Army of the North in its portions
before San Pedro dc Abanto.

A Carlist band under P&lascios has been surprised at Com-

Tho Prince is again able to devote park of his time to budnesp,
but he is prohibited to leave his room for the present. Prince
Bismarck publishes, in the official gazette, a letter thanking
the numerous correspondents in all parts of the empire and
abroad who sent him messages of symjuthy and goodwill during
his recent illness. .

Field Marshal Wrangel celebrated his ninetieth birthday on
Monday last. The German Emperor and Empress, the Crown
Prince and Princess, and Princes Karl and Alexander congratu¬
lated him in person. The Marshal is said to be in perfect health.

In the German Reichstag, oil Monday, Herr von Bennigsen’s
compromise on the Army Bill was adopted amid general
rejoicing. It accepts the Government standard of 401,059 as
a peace effective, but limits the vote to seven years. The
Minister of War made an explanatory statement, the gist of
which was that the Government relied on the experience of the
next seven years to prove that the peace effective now pro¬
posed was permanently necessaty. This official acceptance of
the compromise was enthusiastically cheered Iu Tuesday's
sitting the discussion on the bill was brought to a conclusion,
Herr von Bennigsen’s amendment being adopted by a large
majority. Field Marshal Count von Moltke spoke energetically
for the maintenance of a powerful Germany as the be3t
guarantee for peace. In presence of the shouts which had been
raised for revenge, it was necessary, he said, to keep the liand
on the sword. The majority for tho Government upon the
eighth clause of the bill was 78, in a House of 371 members,
one of whom abstained from voting.

Archbishop Ledocbowski has been deprived of his see by the

There were few amendments proposed in Committee, and
most of them were rejected. The -bill passed substantially
in its original form.

Governor, and wished me to fix the time.” The chief signifi¬
cance of this telegram arises from the fact that To Wheoro has
for years held the position of Prime Minister or chief adviser to
the Maori King, and has personally a strong political influence
among the tribes of the interior.

THE FAMINE IN INDIA.

We have received for publication the following telegram
from the Viceroy, dated April 11 :—“No material change in
prices or general situation since telegram of 4fch. Lieutenant-
Governor states greatest difficulties still confined to Tirhoofc
district, from which recent accounts are favourable. Commis¬
sioner telegraphs from Northern Tirhoot—‘Nothing like starva¬
tion is apparent. Village relict in hands of head men. Working
number on Baheyra-road, 26,000 only; on Mudlioobnnee works,
200,000. Employing native officers in disciplining mobs of
labourers. Public health good. Native traders increasing
imports. "Water supply everywhere deficient. Village after
village searched for hungry people. Mudho obunee, Marayah,
Durbungah circles all formed. Can honestly say famine well
in hand.’ Lieutenant-Governor reports local transport, as a
whole, extremely efficient. Durbungoh railway will probably
bo completed to-morrow or next day. Four fresh starvation
deaths reported—Tirhoot three, Moughyr one—making total
17 cases.”

The Standard publishes the following special telegram from
Calcutta, with tho date of Tuesday:—“Iu Tirhoofc, which is
the blackest district, the markets are still tolerably supplied.
Hidden hoards of grain have been discovered. Eight Uuudred
thousand maunds of Government rice are already iu store.
There are nearly half a million of labourers on the relief works.
A temporary railway has been opened to Darbungah. Mo3fc of
the reported deaths from starvation arc considered doubtful.”

In a comprehensive despatch, dated Calcutta, March 29,
Lord Northbrook vindicates his general policy with regard to
the Indiau famine. He shows that it was intended to interfere
as little as possible with private trade ; that the chief measures
on which the Government relied were the relief works and tho
distribution of food ; but that secondary measures had also
been resorted to, including the remission of land revenue, the
reduction of railway freights, and advances for the purchase of
grain. The despatch sets forth the anticipations that haze
been formed of prospective distress, and the comparative scope
of the precautions already adopted. It concludes with a brief
account of the actual condition of the people.

A meeting of the executive committee appointed at the
Mansion House to raise funds for the relief of the famine in
Bengal was held on Monday afternoon at the Mansion House—
the Lord Mayor presiding. Mr. Vine, tho honorary secretary,
read the report of the proceedings at the previous mooting, and
he also stated that the amount subscribed down to tha presmfc
time was about £80,000. The Lord Mayor stated that, in ad¬
dition to tills sum amounts had been collected at Manchester
and Liverpool which would raise the total sura received through
this committee in round numbers to £100,099. A letter was
read from Mr. Schaloh, the chairmau of the Calcutta committee,
which stated that to the present time that committee had re¬
ceived £150,000, the whole of which had been expended iu the
relief of the Buffering inhabitants. Their operations hacl bwa
confined to supplying assistance to the different local com¬
mittees, the Government having undertaken the duty of pro¬
viding for the general distress aud the prevention of actual
starvation. The Lord Mayor informed the committee that
Leeds, Huddersfield, Salford, aud other towns had been sub¬
scribing most liberally.

A publio meeting of persons taking an interest in the peeple
of India, and in the condition of the inhabitants of the dis¬
tressed districts, was held at tho Mansion House on Tuesday—
the Lord Mayor presiding. A letter was read from Lord
Northbrook, in which he said it was impossible to doubt that,
over an above all that Government could do, an ample field
would be found for the beneficial employment of large private
subscriptions, for this was found to be the case in the some¬
what similar circumstance of tho Irish famine. The moral aid
political advantage which avas derived from the substantial
expression of sympathy in England with distress in India wa*
very great, and the exertions of the Mansion House committee
would be widely appreciated by her Majesty’s Indian subjects.
The Marquis of {Salisbury, Secretary of State for India, moved
the first resolution, which was to the effect that widespread
and severe distress existed iu India, aud appealing to the
people of this country to uso all the exertions in their power to
relieve it. Lord Lawrence, in seconding the resolution, feared
that the Bufferings of the people would be still greater than
they now* appeared to bo, especially with tho aged and the
y6uftg; and considering the magnitude and extraordinary
character of the calamity he expressed regret that Parliament
had not made a grant to alleviate so much distress. Amongst
tbe subsequent speakers were Sir Charles Trevelyan, Professor
Fawcett, and Lord Stanley of Alderley.

The number of emigrants from the Mersey last month was

THE CHUECH.

Chi Easter Thursday, a t St. Paul's temporary church,
Oh i ken well, the Rev. A. Styleman Herring, the Incumbent,
to tithed 144 children and adults. The parents, witnesses, and
chSdren (270 in all, and all poor people) were kindly enter¬
tained by a lady whose name has not been made public.

Mr. T. TV. Tatton, of Wythensliawc, laid the corner¬
stone of the now pariah church of St. Wilfrid, at Northenden,
on Saturday. The Rector (the Ven. Archdeacon Johnson) will
meet the cost of the chancel, Mr. T. W. Tatton that of the
noith and south aisles, and the parishioners the remainder.

The series of services in celebration of the reopening of
Worcester Cathedral after its complete restoration closed on
Tuesday, with a festival of church choirs of the diocese, at
which about 1500 choristers assisted. There were two services,
and Lord Dudley entertained the choirs at dinner.

Among other churches reopened during the Easter week
may bo mentioned St. John's, Boxmoor, by the Bishop of
Rochester > West Clandon, Surrey, by the Bishop of
Winchester—where tlio pulpit of Caen stone, and the altar
furniture, are gifts of Lady Cranley and others ; and Annesley,

The Rev. John Cullen, Curate of Bottesford, Leicester¬
shire, haB been presented by Earl Man vers to tlie living of
Radcliffe-on-Trent. On the occasion of Mr. Cullen leaving
Bottesford for Kadcliffe he received the following testimo¬
nials :—A beautiful clock and an illuminated address, hand¬
somely framed, from the parishioners; a handsome walnut
inlaid davenport writing-tablo from the Rector ; a silver ink-
stand from the churchwardens ; several volumes from members
of the congregation, and a coffee-pot from the school-children.

Three windows, executed by Messrs. Clayton and Bell, have
been placed in the south aisle of St. Botolph'a, Bishopsgato, in
memory of the late Rev. J. G. Wrench, who was for nine years
Curate of the parish and for nine months Vicar of St. James's
Clapton. Mr. Wrench died, very suddenly, on June 11 last;
and, although nearly £200 had been given him as a testimonial
by his old parishioners when he left Bishopsgato, a few loving
friends, chiefly unconnected with the pariah, have thus further
testified to their appreciation of his character and worth.

The Bishop of Lichfield, on Easter Wednesday, consecrated
the parish church of itarhone, which, although it was restored
only tight years ago, at a cost of £3500, lia3 now had the south
wall rebuilt, the floor of the chancel paved with the best Minton
lilts, a new w rought-iron pulpit, a new brass lectern, a new
jiltar and f.tdil.u placed in it, while the organ lias been enlarged,
the heating and gas arrangements improved, and other improve¬
ments made. 8ome beautiful stained-glass windows have like¬
wise been given, especially one in memory of the late cele¬
brated water-colour painter, Mr. David C ox.

Acting on the ad vice of Mr. Justice Keating, Bishop Temple
Les pronounced, against the rcredos in Exeter Cathedral. The
pica of the Dean and Chapter, that they were independent of
the Bishop in these matters, was refuted by demonstration that
the bklioprio and the cathedral had co-existed for a couple of
centuries Define the deanery. As to the legality of the rcrcdo3,
it w as decided that the figures it contained were images, though
<nJy in alto relievo, and that, as embodying images, the rcredos
was illegal. The Bishop intimated that he would grant a
faculty for any beautification of the cathedral conformble to law.

The Vicar of Richmond has communicated to the select
vestiy tic Bishop of Winchester's reply to his letter asking
advice about the removal of the boundary wall between the
consecrated and unconsecratod portions of the cemetery. Ho
adds that, in accordance with hia Lordship’s decision, he will
•willingly order the removal of the wall as soon as it has been,
decided by the Home Secretary that the ground adjoining the
workhouse may be legally used for interments. An inspector
frem the Home Office visited the cemetery on Wednesday,
and informed the hoard that he could not recommend the Home
Secretory to sanction the use of the site as a burial-ground.

The Bishop of Manchester presided, on Thursday week, at
the annual meeting of the members of the Manchester Diocesan
Roaidof Education, and expressed his regret that the income
of the hi aid from all sources was quite inadequate to the dis-
cboige of its duties efficiently. A resolution w as passed re¬
gretting the uf< lution to winch the council have felt com¬
pelled to come to refuse any more applications for building
gr&nta from the general fund until its annual income reaches
£2£C0, and urging upon the Churchmen of the diocese the im¬
portance of 11 isblislnng a supplementary special fund in order
to enable the buurd to meet pressing appeals for help.

At Cambridge the inauguration of the Bachelors of Arts or
Law's who w'ere admitted to the title of Bachelors-Designate
.during the academical year 1873-4 was held on .Saturday in the

senate-house.-The authorities of Trinity have submitted to

the Queen in Council draught statutes which will, when
approved by her Majesty, affect some material alterations in
the present tenure of Fellowships, the principal alteration
limiting non-resident Fellowships to five years from tlie M. A.
degree, instead of seven years, as now' existing. There will
alfeo bo a provision giving pow'ers for Fellows to marry. These
statutes have been unanimously approved by the college, but,
athey will chiefly deal with subjects on which a recom¬
mendation may be expected from the Universities Commission
to apply equally to all the colleges in the University, the late
Government intimated that they would not be prepared to
advise her Majesty until the report of the Commissioners had
been published, and this understanding has been acted upon
by the present Government. The Guardian says that there is
good reason for believing that the report of the Universities
Commission w ill be made public during the present month.

Tho Earl of Harrowby has written a letter to tho Times sug¬
gesting that tho provision of an abundance of seats on tho
Thames Embankment would be an inducement for families to

magistrate in Loudon for a long period of years with high dis¬
tinction, is entitled to speak with authority ou the duties and
responsibilities of that important office, while, having himself
retired from the bench, he has no personal interest whatever in
the reform ho advocates.

Exceptionally high tides have been too prevalent to bo
pleaEant this year. And now it seems we arc threatened with
still another of these unwelcome visits. It has been predicted
that a very high tide will visit the Thames to-day (S«aturday),
and already a deal of anxiety and consternation seems
to have seized upon the dwellers on the river banks, who have
a dismal recollection of the ruin which the overflow of waters
has caused within the last few weeks. The Metropolitan Board
ot Works have instructed their district engineers to report upon
the damage done during the recent high tides.

Any opinion of Sir Sydney Waterlow on the subject of
improved dwellings for tho poor deserves consideration. In a
letter published in the Times he declares that the hands of private
enterprise are tied by the impossibility of securing suitable
sites. Plenty of money is forthcoming, but improved homes
for the working classes are not built, because capitalists cannot
obtain possession of the fever deus constituting our narrow
courts and alleys. Sir Sydney suggests that some metropolitan
body should be empowered to purchase by compulsion all houses
declared to be unfit for human habitation, as well as adjacent
property, in order to form suitable sites and approaches. In
regard to the financial side of tho question, Sir Sydney admits
the ground-rent obtained might not generally cover the cost of
improvements, but believes the los3 would be small if capital
was raised by the issue of Metropolitan Three-aml-a-HalE per
Cent Consols. He estimates this eventual loss could be covered
by a farthing rate on the metropolitan assessment, which would
ho more than compensated by decreased expenditure for medical
lelief to the poor.

Last week 2420 births and 1387 deaths were registered in
London. After making due allow ance for increase of popu¬
lation, the births were G8 and the deaths 288 below the aver¬
age numbers in the corresponding week of the last ton years.
The annual death-rate from all causes, which in tho three pre¬
ceding weeks had l>een 25, 23, and *21 per 1000, was again last
week 21. Tho deaths included 3G from measles, 14 from
scarlet fever, G from diphtheria, 55 from whooping-cough, 29
from different forms of fever, 10 from diarrhoea, and not one
from smallpox. Of the fatal cases of fever, 2 Were certified as
t}pih&s> 19 as enteric or typhoid, and 8 as simple continued
fever. The deaths referred to diseases of the respiratory
organs and phthisis, W'liich in the three previous weeks had
been 649, 551, and 489, w ere hist week 499, being 82 below
the corrected average weekly number; 191 resulted from
phthisis, IG7 from bronchitis, and 101 from pneumonia. Dif¬
ferent forms of violence caused 46 deaths ; 40 were tho result
of negligence or accident, including lo from fractures aud con-
tueicnE, 4 from bums and scalds, 4 from drowning, and 12,
including 9 of infants under one year of age, from suffocation.
Four cases of suicide and 1 of infanticide were registered. A
■woman died on the 25th nit., at Bow, through blood poisoning
from the scratch of a cat. Four of the deaths from fractures
and contusions resulting from negligence or accident w'crc
caused by horses or vehicles in the streets.

A paper was read, on Wednesday, at the Society of Arts,
by Mr. W, Simpson, on Symbolism in Oriental Ornament —
Mr. Hyde Clarke in the chair. Mr. Simp3on began by remark¬
ing that symbolism begun at an early age of humanity, but not
till civilisation had made some advance. The Oriental was at
all periods a religious man. and his literature aud his art were
nil devoted to his faith. The lotus was early applied by the
Egyptians, the Buddhists, aud tho Brahmins. It was a symbol,
in the Brahminical form, of the female power of the uni verse.
The lotus became the throne of Buddha, and its petals might
bo seen on the base of every icon iff that deity. He had exa¬
mined, when in India, the celebrated sandalwood gates of
Somnauth, but he came to the conclusion that they were
not the real gates at all. The art upon them was Moham¬
medan, not Hindoo, and it was proved that they were made of
deodar pine, not sandalwood. Mr. Simpson then referred to
the trisul or trident, the crescent, the cross, or letter T as
Eastern symbols, the symbolism of words and sentences, such
as “ abracadabra, 1 ’ triangles, circles, aud other forms. He also
alluded to the symbolism of colours, which formed au important
part of the subject. The Temples of Chaldea were painted
upon a system of symbolism w'liich referred to the seven
planets, and in India each god was painted a colour with
reference to 4is attributes. The Hindoo might , be called the
Pantheistic style, for their multitudes of gods led to a prolific
mass of images and symbols. The tendency of our ornamental
art in the present day was in this direction. Several gentlemen
having spoken, JNIr. Simpson replied, and a vote of thanks was
given to him.

THE LATE DR. LIVINGSTONE.

At an early hour on Wednesday morning the Malwa, with
the remains of Dr. Livingstono on board, was signalled from
Hurst Castle, and about eight o’clock she arrived in South¬
ampton Water. Tho body was landed amid every sign of
• respect from the shipping in the docks and from the local
authorities, and, escorted by a procession, was conveyed to the
railway station, tho shops along the route being partially
closed. The church bells rang muffled peals and minute-guns
were fixed. A special train was supplied by the London and
South-Western Railway Company; and the remains, which
were accompanied by the relatives and friends of the deceased
traveller, were brought to London.

The body was received at the rooms of tlie Royal Geo¬
graphical Society, where an examination was made by Sir
William Fergusson. The identification was placed beyond
doubt, tho left arm still showing traces of a fracture caused by
the bite of a lion more than thirty years ago.

The preparations for the funoral iu Westminster Abbey
were begun on Tuesday. The spot selected for the grave is in
the central line of the nave, exactly half-way between the
western doors and the choir. On the north side is the grave of
the Countess of Clanricarde, and on the other side that of
Thomas Thompson. Close by are Major Ronnell, and Telford
and Stephenson, the engineers.

The funeral will be celebrated at one to-day (Saturday).
The public will be admitted by the west door of the nave and
by Poets’*corner to tho south transept, and the doors will be
open at 12.30.

At a public meeting held in Edinburgh, on Tuesday, it was
resolved to erect a national statue in memory of Dr. Livingstone.

It appears that Dr. Livingstone’s family are left in actual
distress through his death, and a public subscription ou their
behalf is proposed by Baroness Burdett-Coutts, Lord Kinnaird,
Sir Bartle Frere, and others. Money may be paid to Messrs.
Ransonie, Bouverie, and Co., and at the Loudon and West¬
minster Bank, to the credit of the “Livingstone Testimonial
Fund." *

his countrymen, having held the same office under Mr. Disraeli
once before, besides those of Secretary for the Colonics and

liis father, the late Bari, in I860.

The portraits surrounding that of the 1 rime Minister are

SKETCHES IN PARLIAMENT.

The new part of the House of Commons is following the old
section into the traditionary grooves in which that assembly
fins been accustomed to move. For instance, it ha3 always
happened that on the first evening of meeting after the Easter
recess there was a thin House, and a prevailing languor, and so
it was on Monday last. A slight fillip was given to attention
when Lord lb berfc Montagu, in those loud and sonorous tones
and vehement manner which mostly characterise him, gave
notice that he should put a crucial interrogation to the Prime
Minister in regard to liis ideas of coercive policy in Ireland,
basing himself cn some remarks mado by Mr. Disraeli
in hia recent electioneering speeches. Then the House,
so to speak, subsided into a discussion on army organi¬
sation, originated by Major Beaumont, who, drawling
in voice and innguid in manner, was very sweeping in his pro¬
posals for reforms. As of course, foremost in^ the chorus of

The Sheffield firm of Osborne and Co., whoso principal
member is Master Cutler this year, has failed for £85,009.

Tlie foundation-stone of an orphan asylum to lie erected at
Newcastle-on-Tyne, at a cost of £10,000, by Mr. Hilton-
Rhillipson, as a memorial of his late mother, was laid last
week. Sir W. G. Armstrong took part in the ceremony.

Details of the enrolment of troops in all branches of the
Army and reserve forces during the year which ended in
November last are given in a War Office return which w r as
issued on Saturday.

The Glasgow Herald states that Mr. Alexander Macdonald,
M.P., the miners* secretary, has purchased the beautifidly-
situated estate of Welhall, in the vicinity of Hamilton, which
was recently occupie d by Mr. Graham, commissioner to the
Duke of Hamilton.

The Dally Xcws understands that the Premier has recom¬
mended to the Queen for a pension of £100 on the Civil List
Mrs. C. L. Bascvi, the mother of Captain Basevi, who lost his
life on the Thibet frontier of India whilst engaged in exploring
the mountain passes, and pursuing other scientific inquiries.

Tlie Earl of Zetland was on Thursday week, at York,
installed as Right Worshipful Provincial Grand Master of Free¬
masons for tlie North and East Ridings of Yorkshire. After
the ceremony there was a Masonic procession and a special
rervice in tlie minster. In tho evening there was a dinner.

The fourth general synod of the Protestant Church of
Ireland was opened, in Dublin, on Thursday week, his Grace
the Primate presiding. He stated that very important delicate
question b would be brought before the synod, and a question on
which there was great difference of opinion would bo also dis¬
cussed. He hoped the proceedings would bo conducted in a
proper manner. Petitions for the revision of tho Book of
Common Prayer were handed in, and throe petitions against the
revision were also handed in.

A movement resembling, in a modified form, the women's
whisky war in America began in Dundee on Monday, w hen a
deputation of between sixty and seventy ladies—most of them
being the wives of clergymen, merchants, and leading citizens
geneially—w aited upon the magistrates to urge the necessity of
a reduction of public-houses in the burgh. They submitted a
petition, signed by S303 women of all grades. The magistrates
were requested not to grant any new licenses, to withdraw
those the holders of w hich had been convicted, to grant no
transfer, and to permit no plurality of Certificates in tho
name cf one person. Four members of tho deputation—Mrs.
Jnglis, Mn*. Parker, Mrs. Steel, and Miss Smith—addressing
the magistrates, pointed to the misery the liquor traffic in¬
volved. 1 hey hoped the revenue of tho country would not
be regarded in any action that might be taken, and suggested
that it would be better to give publicans pensions rather than
allow than to continue their ueJarious trade. The magistrates
promised to give the statement their best attention.

jeremiads which ensued was Colonel North, who passionately
npptalcd to everything sacred to bear liim out that we had no
ai my whatsoever. The chant of pessimism was taken up by
General Shute, the new member lor Brighton, who intimated
that he intended to be soldier-like in liis observations, which
resolve he carried out by adopting that bluflness of speech
and demeanour which is conventionally supposed to make a
man appear soldier-like ; while as for his matter, it was, so to
tpeak, regimental, and fearfully deprecatory of the condition
of things military. As a proved military administrator, Sir
George had a right to bo oracular, but he, too, w’as despondent;
while Major Dickson, with a voice, as it were, in mourning
and a funereal aspect, croaked over our “phantom” army
like a military raven. Why Mr. Butler-Johnstone should have
intervened in <hi« discussion is not very evident, except that
pel haps he had recently been reading a magazine article on
military organisation. At any rate, he was smart and pointed,
and gave due cadence to his little epigrams. In the perform¬
ance of the part of War Secretary Mr. Hardy, has achieved a
succers. TV liercas ho used to be breezy, lie ib now cheery;
and was so candid, so fair to his predecessors in his office ; so
well informed on points of detail, and so anxious to reduce the
pcesimisni bf the debate to the lowrcst point, if not to infuse
into it tho element of optimism, that lie carried everything
before him ; and, what is more, carried the w hole of the
Army Estimates through in that ono sitting, a feat that has
not been executed with either of the votes for the combatant
£Ci vices since the regime cf Lord Palmerston.

On the next evening there was a full and an animated
House, called together by the expectation of witnessing a
specimen of Mr. Disraeli’s dexterity in getting out of a quasi-
awkward position. For Lord Robert Montagu’s question as to
whether the Prime Minister intended to pursue the coeroive
Xjolicy towards Ireland of which ho had spoken in such strong
terms to his constituents was imminent, and the Home-Rule
members were gathered in a clump on the seats below
the gangway, on the Opposition side, x>reparcd, as they
proved, to "support Lord Robert by their cheers, even
when he was most flippant and i>ertinacious, and even
was decreed to be disorderly. There was, however, deep
Bile nee as Lord Robert read out, with a sort of wicked em¬
phasis, the indictment lie had framed. Slowly Mr. Disraeli
rose, w ith an expression on his face tliat only he can assume,
which is at once grave, quizzical, and contemptuous ; the com¬
bination is* beyond description, and must bo seen to be under¬
stood. Then, with great deliberation and a tone of voice
which is curiously contrived to correspond with the expression
of countenance, ho proceeded to indicate, rather than to assort,
that a Prime Minister w'as not to be held rigidly responsible for
words used in a popular meeting of electors by a leader
of Opposition. The rhetorical skill of the reply was
in full keeping with the peculiar tone and manner ; and
the effect was just what waa designed, for every sentence was
follow ed by laughter—not senseless and vague, but with an
admixture of sympathy and approval in it. Evidently hit
haid, Lord Robert Montagu bounced, and petulantly put still
more crucial questions until Mr. Newdegate’s sense of justice
overcame his supposed dislike to Mr. Disraeli and he indig¬
nantly appealed to the Chair to know whether this sort of
disorder, w hich the House w as loudly protesting against, was
to be tolerated. The Speaker decided, like an oracle, that
Lord Robert had a right to put as many questions as he liked,
and that the Prime Minister was entitled to give answers
solely according to his pleasure and judgment; and so ended
this episode.

Since Parliament has met Mr. Bass has taken up a lodg¬
ment on the front Opposition bench; and there is no reason
why he should not, for it is always empty of those cx-
Ministers for whose use it is reserved. Ho had a good
vantage ground, therefore, when he came to move liis bill
which would, have prevented county-court Judges from im¬
prisoning debtors for sums less than five pounds. He was very
earnest and elaborate in his advocacy of Jiis measure, though it
was palpable that he urns firing into cotton-bags—that is, that
he w as addressing a very adverse House, it was proved by
Mr. Lopes that a law r yer may have some capacity for romance
even when ho is dealing with a legal subject, for nothing
could bo more assured than liis attempts to show* that,
there was no imprisonment for debt, and that, although
the bodies of debtors were to be found in great numbers in
^aols, the whole thing was a mere fiction, known as committal
for contempt of court. Having been converted from an oppo¬
nent to a supporter of the bill, of course Sir Henry James, like
all converts, was more energetic and eager in his advocacy for
it than even its originators. Probably Mr. Holker was insen¬
sibly influenced .by a desire to give a taste of the qualities that
are in him, and in a ma nn er to justify his claims to the Solicitor-
Generalship, for, though at first ho w r as somewhat heavy, he
warmed up, and even gave out flashes of diy humour, which
liis political friends about him made the most of by laughing
with all their might. The dfibut of Mr. Sampson JLloyd, the
new member for Plymouth, was quite a success. He was, as

besides, he w as fluent of speech and easy of demeanour.

It seems that the Government intend to utilise their young

PARLIAMENTARY SUMMARY.

HOUSE OF LORDS.

The House assembled on Tuesday, after the Easter recess, and
had a short sitting, in the course of which the Duke of Argyll
intimated that he should, on the 24th inst., make a statement
with regald to the Indian famine. The Attorneys and Solicitors
Bill v. as read the third time and passed; and a letter from Sir
Garnet Wolseley, acknowledging the vote of thanks of the
House to the Ashantee army, was read.

On Thursday the Duke of Richmond brought up a message
from her Majesty, which was read by the Lord. Chancellor. It
stated that her Majesty, being desirous to confer upon Major-
General Sir Garnet J. Wolseley some signal mark of her Royal
favour in recognition of his eminent services in connection with
the Ashantee expedition, recommended to the House of Lords
to concur in enabling her Majesty to grant to Sir G. J. Wolseley
the sum of £25,000. The Duke of Richmond gave notice that
he w ould next day move that the House do take her Majesty’s
message into consideration.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

On reassembling last Monday, after the Easter recess, the
House plunged into a debate upon Army reorganisation. The
Aimy Estimates steed at the head of the business paper, but
before going into Committee of Supply some time was occupied
by a preliminary discussion occasioned by a motion made by
Major Beaumont. It w’as to the effect that the reserves
of the country should be formed of men who have been
passed through the ranks of the regular army; and
in support of it Major Beaumont, after discussing the
German and French system cf reserves, sketched out \
pl 3 n, involving the abolition of the militia, by which ho
aigued that we might maintain an army of 280,090, of whom
18O,CC0 would be available for foreign or colonial service, with
a saving of a million and a quarter. In the course of tho dis¬
cussion w hich followed. Colonel North sharply attacked Lord
Cardwell’s military policy, declaring that it was leaving us
with no Army at all, and that the short-service system was a
total failure ; General Shute also condemned the short-service
system as applied to the cavalry and artillery, and made some
practical suggestions for the improvement of recruiting. Mr.
O’Reilly aigued against Major Beaumont’s scheme, which he
contended was utterly * impracticable on our present scale of
recruiting, and if adopted would be voiy costly. Sir JET.

TV jJmot and Major Dickson commented on the unsatisfactory
state of the recruiting; and Mr. Butler-Johnstone/who main¬
tained that Lord Cardwell's scheme for the creation of
a itseive force had failed, advocated universal compulsory
service for at least a year in the militia. After some remarks
from tSir G. Balfour, Mr. Campbell-Bannerman deprecated a
precipitate interference with a system which at present must
be described as tentative, and showed how it was premature to
pronounce any opinion at present on the short-service system
and its effect on the reserve forces. Mr. Hardy said a few
woids in reply, assuring the Houso that Die state of the
reciuitirg was not eo bad as had been represented ; that the
quality of; the recruits, cu the whole, was as good now as in
iccuit years; and that the great mass of men in the Army
were between twenty and thirty-two. As for the connection
be tv ecu the reserves and the militia, that was a question open
for future' consideration. AftcT this Major Beaumont with¬
drew liia motion, and tho House went into Committee of
Supply. The whole of the Arm}' Estimates, amounting to
£H,4ta,S00, were agreed to without any serious opposition,
and the Chairman, beforo half-past nine o’clock, was directed
to report progress. - Subsequently tho Mutiny Bill, tho Marino
Mutiny Bill, tho East India Annuity Funds Bill, the Offences
Against the l’ereon Bill, and tho Infanticide Bill were read the
second time; and the Loan to School Board* Bill and the
Cattle Diseases ( b elaud) Bill were passed.

Amongst a rather numerous batch of members who took the
oaths, cn Tuesday, was Mr. Bright. There was a full attend¬
ance and some animation during the preliminary business.
Loul B. Lennox (First Commissioner of Works) informed Mr,
Ccwpcr-Temple that the new buildings at the National Gallery
would, he hoped, be finished and opened for tho reception of
the public in one year from this time, and that when completed
they would suffice for housing the whole national collection of
picture s, including those now at tlie South Kensington Museum.
A motion of Mr* Ey ton to alter the assessment of the land tax
did. not obtain a seconder, and fell through. The second
reading of the Imprisonment for Debt Bill, which would
abolish committal by county courts for sums under £5, was
discussed and rejected by a large majority. Tho Local Govern-
ment Provisional Orders Bill w as passed through Committee.

The lirBt two hours and a half of Wednesday’s sitting were
devoted to a discussion on the motion for the second rca ling of
Sir J. Lubbock's Ancient Monuments Bill, by which it is pro¬
posed to establish a Commission, to be called the Nations
Monuments Commission, invested with compulsory powes
to acquire certain ancient and national monuments—BrHfah#
Celtic, Roman, and Saxcn—named in the schedule of the bill,
w ith a view to their preservation. It w as negatived by 147 to
94. The Betting Bill, the object of which is to abolish the
betting-homes now carried on with impunity in Scotland, wa3
l ead tfie second time, as were the Married \Yomen’s Property
Act Amendment Bill (which pirovides that the husband should
be liable for debts contracted by liis wife prior to her coverture
to tho extent only of the property derived from the wife by
reason of the marriage) and the Game Birds (Ireland) Bill.

The House having, on Thursday, resolved itself into a Com¬
mittee of Ways and Means,

The Chancellor of the Exchequer rose to make his annual
financhal statement, at five o’clock, in a very full House. Ho
raid he would not detain tho House, but at once give tho
revenue and expenditure of the year just past. The right bon-
gentleman opposite (Mr, Lowe) had last year estimated tho
expenditure for the past year at £75,071,000, including the
whole of the Alabama claims; but the real expenditure bid
been £76,400,500, or an excess over the amount estimated of
£1,156,000. A great part of this extra expenditure had been
incurred on account of the outbreak of the Asliantco war,
which reached £800,000; but be was happy to say that he
believed that £70,000 or £80,000 more would cover the whole
ccst of the campaign. The amount voted for Army purchase
had not liecn all absorbed, and therefore there had been »
slight saving on that head. The estimated revenue had been
£73,762,000, but the actual revenue had been £77,335,057,
an excess of receipts over expenditure of £3,573,057- R
been thought by many that tho expectations of ths lave
Chancellor of tlie Exchequer had been too sanguine, but them
bad been an increase in customs receipts of £736,000, in excise
of £1,435,000, and in stamps of about £5U0,0l>0. The mam
feature of the year w as the increase in customs au 1 excise,
w hick showed that there was a large increase in the amount o►
spirits consumed, w hich showed at least that the consuming

power of the people was unimpaired. He would now turn to
the estimate d expenditure for the year 1874-5, which would be
£72,503,600. as compared with the grants made last year of
£76,027,000] grants which included both the expenses of the
Alabama claims and the Ashantee war. The principal items of
expenditure were, interest of debt £26,700,000; Consolidated
Fund charges, £1,580,000; army, 14,585,000; navy, £10,180,000;
Post Office expenditure, £2,882,000; and collection of revenue,
£2694, which, with other smaller stuns, made up the total he
had named. He now turned to the revenue which was to meet
this expenditure. It had been stated by the late Prime
Minister that the surplus revenue would equal £5,000,000, and
upon coming into office he (the Chancellor of the Exchequer)
found that those calculations had been made by the officers of
the department, and .were a reasonable basis for tho judgment
formed. That was in January, and the announcement had
had an effect upon the markets which had naturally checked
the consumption of certain articles. The revenue had fur that
reason not reached tho amount anticipated at the end of
March, hut the result of tho calculations of tho officers now
waa that they expected as largo, if not a larger. Increase than
that which had been calculated upon in January. The Govern¬
ment saw no reason why they should distrust the estimates of
men so experienced as these officers ; and, although they had
been told, and it might bo true, that there would ba check 3 in
our commercial prosperity that there had not been in the past
year, still they thought the wisest course would be take
tho estimates as they were presented, and found their calcula¬
tions upon them. The estimates of revenue from different
sources for the coming year were as follow:—Customs,
£20,740,000; excise, £28,090,000; stamps, £10,830,000; land
tax and house duty, £2,3GO,000; income tax, £5,500.000;
post office, £5,300,000; telegraphs, £1,250,000; miscellaneous,
£3,500,000 ; Crown lands, £375,000. The net result was that the
estimated revenue for the ensuing year was £77,995.000, com¬
pared with an expenditure of £72,503,300—surplus, £5,492,000.
In the year 18S5, if we continued to go on at the same rate wo
have been proceeding of late years, ho estimated that we shall
then have reduced tho National Debt to the amount of
£120,000,000. The Government thought it right to apply some
portion of the surplus to tho redemption of the debt. They
therefore proposed to create additional terminable annuities, to
run out in 1885, to the amount of £440,000, and by this means
to extinguish £7,000,000 of the debt in that same year. They
next proposed to give their attention to the subject of
local taxation. What the people now stood most in need of
was an improvement in tlicir dwellings, in thoir sanitary
m rangements, in their education, and in the encouragement of
habits of temperance and providence amongst them. Thrse
great objects could not be properly carried out without ths aid
of local authorities and local administration. It was necessary
that a complete plan should be prepared to carry out those
objects ; and, as they could not expect such a plan to be framed
in the present year, they felt they ought not to suspend the
appropriation, of the surplus until such plan, was before
them. The^ proposed that a contribution should ba
made from the Consolidated Fuud towards tho charge for
lunatics. The amount ostimated for this purpose was £433,000
annual expenditure. They also proposed to relievo the local
expenditure for the police by one half, which would add
£600,00.3 a year to our expenditure. It was proposed to make
Government property liable to rating in proportion to its vatuo
in any particular locality. This rating would amount, as he
estimated, to about £ 1,110,000. The Government deprecated
the prccipitete abolition of tho income tax ; but proposed to
remit c-no penny of that tax. That would involve the loss tj
the revenue in the whole of £1,840,000 ultimately, or
£1,540,000 in the present year. All tlmse propositions would
dispose of £2,550,000. As regarded the indirect taxation, the
Covemment proposed to abolish the sugar duties. This would
involve £2,000,000 reduction to the revenue ; but lie thought
il at the abolition of the duties would give such a stimulus to
the trade of tho country as in the end to counterbalance
ary immediate loss to the revenue. Tho Government pro¬
posed to rcimpo8e tho duty on plums preserved in sugar.
In respect to malt, having now only about £900,000 of. tli8
surplus undisposed of, and considering the amount derived
fum malt as very large, they did not propose to touch that
aiticle for the present. The question of dogs* licenses, he
thought, might stand over until another yoar for consideration.
In reference to the brewers* licenses, the Government did
rot mean to interfere with them — at all events, for tho
present year. As to private b re were, they proposed to
divide the penalties into two classes. With regard to
the one cla*s connected with mere inadvertence, they propose l
to modify the penalties very considerably. They would allow
the question of the railway passengers’ tax to stand over. Out
of about 2,000,000 of horses employed in this country, 864,000
wei e taxed. About half those liorees were employed in
trade. It was proposed to abolish the horse duty. That, lie
Jbelievcd, would complete the appropriation cf his surplus.
A discussion then ensued, which resulted in tho financial
resolutions being agreed to.

A Jewish paper alleges that cremation is not unknown
amongst German Jews in London, and Btates that the council
representing the Hebrew congregations at Berlin have resolved
to make immediate arrangements for the burning of bodies at

Approval is given by the Chilians to the published reply

protection cf Chilian citizens and foreigners generally.

Herr Bohlfs, the German explorer in the Libyan desert, ha3
written to Germany, under date “Oasis of Jupitor Aramoti,
Feb. 22,” to say that he has found it impossible to penetrate to
Eu ra. He had sufficient water and proveuder to last him more
than twenty days ; but, with the best feeding in the world, his
can els would unquestionably have broken down in tho ocean of
deep and shifting sand through which he would have had to
pa.* s. Ho therefore prudently abandoned the project and turned
to the north-west. After fifteen days' march through unbroken
JSal ara lie reached Sinah. He is somewhat disappointed at the
elcck he has experienced; but he savs “the exploration of
tl e Libyan desert lias thus been solved in a negative way : it
Is an ocean of sand.” The first task of the expedition is thus
disposed of. The second now engages Herr Rohlfs and his
companions. It is to ascertain if the theory of tho depression
of that part of Africa is correct. On a former expedition, pass¬
ing from Cyrenaica to Ammontum, Herr Rohlfs observed an
apparent depression, and barometrical observations now insti¬
tuted bear him out inwbat be then assumed. Herr Jordan ha3
found the land to be actually thirty metres under tho level of
the sea. Herr Rohlfs proposed to Leave Sinah on Feb. 26, and,
taking his route by Nab el Be ha rich, Farafrah, Dackel,
CLargeh, and Esneh, to explore the western oases of the de3ert.
He aid not expect to reach Esneh before April 5.

MUSICAL PUBLICATIONS.

Several songs lately issued by Messrs. Chappell and Co. may
bo safely recommended to drawing-room vocalists. Three by
Mr. J. L. Koeckel—“Ever thine, “Lilia’s Vows,” and “The
Angel Child ”—are each characterised by agreeable and graceful
melody and appropriate accompaniments, and all lie within the
most moderate compass of voice. Equal praise, for similar
reasons, may be accorded to Mr. Bertboid Tours's song “ Sun¬
shine in the rain.” Here, again, the vocal part doe3 not extend
beyond the medium range of an ordinary voico of any calibre.
The name of Louisa Gray is so well known 43 that of a com¬
poser of successful songs that it will bo sufficient to say that iu
“ She waits for me” all her accustomed skill is shown, and, as
usual, with small demands on the powers of tho executant, vocal
or instrumental. Like tho soug3 previously mentioned, this
will suit a voice of almost any class, tho compass extending
but little, and that rarely, beyond an octave. In “Bui
Tramonto," “ Melodia per Canto con accornpagnamanto di
pianoforte di Filippo, Dr. Filippi,” we have an effective piece
m the Italian school, requiring a somewhat larger range of
voice than the preceding pieces, and specially calculated for a
contralto or baritone. “A Bird on the Bough” (“Zwie-
gesang”), by Martin Muller, will suit a moKzo soprano. It
lias both En glish and German words, and the voice part is
agreeably contrasted with an animated triplet accompaniment.

Messrs. Chappell have also lately issued some instrumental
music of various lands. In his two pianoforte pieces, “ Gavotte ”
and “Alla Pavan,” Mr. Cotsford Dick baa successfully caught
the style as well as the rhythm of those quaint daucs forms
which were so largely used in the instrumental work3 of the
old composers. JL 11 “Lara, Impromptu Alelodique,” Mr.
George Forbes has produced a very graceful pianoforte piece,
in which a pervading “cantilena” is varied by some elegant
embroideries, the leading fingering being marked for the ad¬
vantage of young students, by whom this impromptu may be
practised with pleasure and improvement. ^ Messrs. OhappsU
and Co. have also issued a second hook of Mr. G. .Forbes's
“Original Voluntaries for the Organ or Harmonium,” in which
are fourteen pieces in various styles, suitable for either instru¬
ment, for church or drawing-room use; aud aU written with
the alrill of a cultivated musician 'and the practical knowledge
of a x>erformer.

Messrs. J. B. Cramer and Co. have now published nine of
the monthly parts of “The Songs of Wales,” edited by Mr.
John Thomas (“Pencerdd Gwalia”). Part IX. contains
fifteen pieces, a few being differently harmonised versions of tho
same melody. Some are given a3 vocal S 0 I 03 , some as duets,
and others in fonrt-part harmony—all with a pianoforte accom¬
paniment-. Many ot the fine old Welsh tune3 in this work arc
reprinted from the collections of tho late John Parry and
George Thomson (now out of print), with additional melodies
that have not before appeared in a vocal form. The intrinsic
interest of these shilling publications should give them a wide
circulation.

Messrs. Cramer and Co. have put forth a new issue of
Mr. Arthur Sullivan's oratorio, “The Light of the World,”
containing the judicious alterations and compressions made by
the composer previous to the recent performance of the work
at tho Royal Albert llall. In his sotting of the line3 from the
“ lngoldaby Legends,” “Tliero sits a bird on yonder tree,”
Air. Arthur Sullivan has produced a tuneful song of tho ballad
kind, which an ordinary singer may make very effective by
means of expression rather than of executive skill. TJie mclody
is (lowing and agreeable, while being extremely simple, and the
accompaniment is within the grasp of tho most ordinary pianist.
The voice-part scarcely extends beyond an octavo, and i3 calcu¬
lated for a mezzo-soprano. A contralto or baritone will find in
tho “Song of tho Old Bell,” by Odoardo Karri, good oppor¬
tunity for characteristic expression. The melody is boldly
marked and well suited to the sentiment of the text.

Messrs. Cramer and Co. have also published a vocal adapta¬
tion (by Mr, F. H. Cowen) of the popular “Galatea Waltz,”
composed by tho Duke of Edinburgh, which is here associated
with Italian words (“A me vieni,” &c.), by F. Mottino. Scott's
lines, beginning “ Love wakes and weeps,” have been very plea¬
santly set by Mr. Frederick Clay, who has produced a capital
song, with some good harmonic contrasts anda well-varied accom¬
paniment, and free from any considerable difficulty. The voice
part 13 restricted to the range of an octave. Signor Arditi’s
“ Forosetta,” “Vispa son, ganiile,” i3 a vocal piece in Taran¬
tella rhythm, with words by Signor Zaiiira. There is much
genuine Italian impulse in this production, which lias been sung
in public by Madamo Adelina l’atti.

Besides the above-named vocal music, Messrs. Cramer and
Co. have published various pianoforte pieces, among which may
bo mentioned some effective arrangements (brilliant without
being difficult) by Air. J. Hummel, of popular operatic sub¬
jects—“Les Defauts de Jacotte,” “Le .Toueur do Flute,”
“UneHeuredc Royaute,” and “Le Pout des Soupirs.” Iu
tho little pianoforte piece “ Une Frte aux Champs ” Mr.
Hummel li as produced a very characteristic reflection of tho
rustic danec style. “ The A illa<*o Green,” by Air. Francesco
Berger, is of similar character and merit, “Fille de 1’Air,” by
the same, affording a good exercise for reiterated notes and
arpeggios. Mr. Marriott's “Showers of Sunshine” contains
some good passage-writing both for the right baud and for the
left, the practice of which will be beneficial to young students.
In his set of “ Russian Quadrilles,” Air. Marriott has turned
some of the melodies of that country, including the National
Hymn, to the purposes of the dance. “Sympathy, Alelodio,”
by R. F. Harvey,” is an expressive little piece, somewhat iu the
northern style,* with some fanciful eiubelUshmcnts of the
jirincipal theme.

Mr. Arthur Taylor has been presented by the City Library
Committee with a testimonial, consisting of a handsome service
of plate, in acknowledgment of his services as chairmau of the

A magnificent centrepiece, valued at nearly 203. gs., was

Conservative working mon of Hull.-The Conservatives of

Birmingham celebrated tho victories which were obtained
throughout the midland counties at tho general electiou by a
grand catbering at the Towuhall, yesterday week—tho Earl of

Dartmouth in the chair.-The Conservatives of Dublin county

entertained Colonel Taylor, M.P., Chancellor of the Duchy of
Lancaster, on the same day, at a dinner in the large concert-
ball of the Exhibition Palace. Aloro than 350 gentlemen sat
down to dinner. Lord Belmore presided. In the course of the
evening Colonel Taylor declared, as a member of the Govern¬
ment, that the Cabinet would avoid all sensational legislation.
They would oppose Homo Rule by introducing measures cal¬
culated to satisfy the Irish people.-Tho retirement of Air.

Dodson from the representation of East Sussex is a great
source of regret to the Liberal party, aud at an influential
meeting called for the purpose it was resolved to present him
with a testimonial, commeusurate with the valuable services
rendered during the time he waa in Parliament.

NATIONAL SPORTS.

The racing which has taken place during the present week has
not been particularly good, and needs little remark. At York
Lady Glenorcky at last won a race, but she was beaten in the
Zetland Stakes by Holy Friar, a promising colt by Hermit—
Tliorsday, who is, we believe, the first Hermit that has yet
run, so hi success must have been particularly gratifying to
Air.Chaplin. Lily Agnes secured the Knavesmiro Plate, though
on the following day 8he suffered her first defeat, as Aragon
gave her 10 lb. and an easy beating for his year. If this form
is correct, all tho lamentations that she is not engaged in tho
Oaks might have been spared, for it is clear that sko
would have no chance against Alias Toto. A field of
twelve came out for tho Great Northern Handicap ; but as
it was won easily by Prodigal (Sst. lib.), the less that
i3 said of the class of the competitors the better. Alatters were
about tho same at Warwick, where tho smart Cashmere added
another to her list of victories. Only five ran for the Great
Warwickshire Handicap, for which the Infanta colt(7st. 131b.)
was made a gicat fa\ourito: but a course of hurdle-jumping
seems ,to havo improved Lowlander’s (7 st. 1 lb.) speed, aud he
won in a canter by six lengths. The Aldershott Divisional
Steeplechases were a3 successful as most military meetings,
and the attendance was very large ; still, all true sportsmen
will be very ghd to get to Newmarket again next week.

Air. Standish was, on Wednesday, presented at Lyndhuret
with a testimonial, consisting of silver plate, on his resigning
the mastership of the New Forest hounds. Sir Reginald Graham
has undertaken to hunt the country.

The long-talked-of race for the sculling championship of
England—the title to which has been in abeyance since tho
death of Renforth in America—took jilacc on Thursday after¬
noon, over the usual course from Putney to Alortlake. Thames
and Tyne were once more pitted against each other, Joseph
Hemy Sadler representing tho former and Robert Bagnall tho
latter. The race admits of no description ; for, though odds of
5 to 4 were freely Laid on the northerner, who won the toss, ho
never had the remotest chance from start to finish. Sadler got
away at a tremendous pace, drew his boat clear in tho first
hundred yards, was hilly three lengths ahead at tho
end of the concrete walk, and shot tho Surrey aroh of
Hammersmith. Bridge, in 9 miu. 20 sec. from tho start, with a
lead of fully twice that distance. Bagnall kept hard at work
all the time, but got little way on hia boat, and seemed quit©
incapable of spurting ; so, though Sadler dropped to 23 strokes
per minute and merely paddled, he passed Barne 3 Bridge
sixteen seconds before his opponent, and won with ridiculous
ease in 24 min. 5 sec. Sadler was trained by F. Symes, who
thoroughly understands him ; and, after such a hollow victory,
he is likely to he left in undisturbed possession of his title of
champion for some time.

The second spring meeting of tho Loudon A.C., which was
held at Ullie-bridge last Saturday, proved au unusual success.
The entries were enormous, and wo never saw so large an at¬
tendance of spectators at any previous fixture of tiiis club.
They were rewarded with a capital afternoon’s sport, for,
though there was no individual brilliant performance, most of
tho running was very good, and many or tho finishes proved
wonderfully close and exciting.

FOOTBALL AT ST. PETERSBURG*.

Some of the market-places of the Russian capital city, in the
horn's not devoted to trade, are the daily resort of loungers,
who divert themselves with one or another game of play. This
is not so likely to be seen in the Gostinnoi Dvor, or Great
Alarket, as in those where tho stalls belong to an inferior class
of dealers, as in the Apraxin Ivinok and the Tehukin Dvor.
Here the ordinary business is in miscellaneous secondhand
articles, offered lor sale ckieily by Jews, whose small booths
are erected in rows all over the ground, leaving narrow
lanes and a few open spaces. Our Artist lately at St. Peters¬
burg made a sketch in the Tehukin Dvor, which forms one of
the Illustrations we present of the habits and manners of
the Russian populace iu towns. These markets are of greater
proportionate importance to common life, than iu other
European cities, which havo more regular and well-stocked
shoi^s in the streets outside the market place. Fruit, dried or
fresh, llesh-meat, and frozen carcasses or joints in winter, fish,
cooked in oil, sausages, bread and cheese, tea, quass, vodka,
and other drinks, are here sold to regale the appetites of a
multitude of customers. Coats, liats, boots, and gowns, which
have seen much service, perhajis, in clothing several successive
owners, are displayed for the investiture of those willing to
put money into such an investment. Household furniture and
utensils, tools for men and toys for children, sacred images,
pictures, crosses, and tokens of religious feeling, bridal crowns
and other tinsel ornaments for young women, are to be found
in the Apraxin llinok. The Tehukin Dvor contains, besides a
wonderful medley of Jews’ odd merchandise, a large collection
of live birds and pet animals. There arc nearly live thousand,
stalls in these two markets, which are adjacent to each other.

WORK AND WAGES.

The Royal Commission of Inquiry into the operation of the
labour laws has begun its sittings.

In South Staffordshire the strike has received an extension,
through tho turning out of a largo number of men at the King3-
wintord collieries. They had received notice of a reduction of
Cd. per day.

The strike of the colliers in Somerset has. terminated in a
compromise, by which the question of the proposed reduction of
wages is to be referred to arbitration, the masters agreeing to
continue the present rate of pay for a fortnight longer, but on
the understanding that this concession is not to be taken as a
precedent in the luturo against wages and prices going together,
whether up or down.

At the Cyfarthfa Ironworks notices were posted 011 Satur¬
day to the effect that from the 4th inst. contracts would coase,
and that a reduction of 20 per cent in the wages rate would be
enforced.

The All-England Iron-Trade Wage3 Committee agreed,
yesterday week, at York, to a drop of Is. per ton to puddlers
and 10 per cent to millmen for three months, and tiiafc the
wages in the following twelve months be regulated by the
terms of the Derby proposal. Meetings were held on Monday
at Stockton, Darlington, Middlesborougb, Jarrow, and other
places in the north, when it w ? aa resolved to accept the j)ro-
posal of a reduction of 10 per cent in wages.

At a meeting of the Motherwell malleable ironworkers con¬
nected with the Glasgow Iron Company, on Monday, it was
resolved to resume work, the question of wages to be settled
by the North of England rates.

In consequence of the employers of Wolverhampton having
agreed to the demands of the Amalgamated Society of Brass-
w oikers, the dispute between the employers and the employed
in that town is at an end.

LAW AND POLICE.

The office of Solicitor-General having hcco tie
vacant hy the retirement of Sir John Kars lake
and the promotion of Sir Richard Baggallay,
was offered to Mr. Huddleston, Q.U., and
M.P. for Norwich; but the Times is autho¬
rised to state that, after duo deliberation,
Mr. Huddleston has declined the appointment,
on the ground that he prefers the practice ox
the profession, with the position of an inde¬
pendent supporter of the Government, to
undertaking the duties of official life. It is
believed that Mr. Holker will be the new
Solicitor-General.

The Scotsman Btatcs that Lord Jerviswoode,
who recently resigned his Justiciary Judge-
ship of the Court of Session in favour of Lord
Mure, will shortly retire from the Bench.

Mr. Joseph Favierc Ellington, Q.C., LL.D.,
has been appointed Queen’s Advocate of the
Irish High Court of Admiralty, vacated by
the Right Hon. J. T. Ball.

In the matter of the Hackney election
petition, an application was, on Monday, made
at Judges’ chambers, on behalf of the sittiug
members, that the petition be taken off tho
hie on the ground that the informality alleged
by the petitioners was very slight, and there
was no question of general corruption. Mr.
Justice Grove refused to entertain the
objection ; and the hearing of tho petition
began on Tuesday at the Hackney TownhalL
On Thursday Mr. Justice Grove gave judgment,
declaring the election void.

Easter Term was opened on Wednesday,
when tho Lord Chancellor entertained the
Judges and Queen’s Counsel at his residence,
5, Cromwell-houses, after which the business
of the courts of equity and common law was
begun in due form.

Mr. Powell, glass merchant, of Harrogate,
obtained on Saturday, at the Leeds Assizes,
from the North-Eastern Railway Company,
£1000 damages for injuries received in a rail¬
way accident last November.

An action was brought by Mias Mary Mathe-
son, daughter of a Glasgow merchant, at the
Liverpool Assizes, on Thursday week, to re¬
cover damages for breach of promise of
marriage. The defendant was Mr. Eccles
Shorrock Eccles, a cotton-broker, of Liverpool,
and the damages were laid at £8000. Tho
courtship had lasted only two months, and at
the end of that time the defendant wrote to the
young Lady’s father, breaking off the match,
his reasons being that she did not take suf¬
ficient interest in Ills pursuits and her dis¬
regard for the game of cricket, of which he
was passionately fond. The jury awarded
£2000 damages.

The April Quarter Sessions of the Peace for
Middlesex were opened on Monday with 90
prisoners for trial, 71 of whom are ciiarged

with felony and 10 with misdemeanour.-

Englebert Charles Balister, aged twenty-nine,
described as a jeweller, was tried on Tuesday
for stealing, on March 23, two diamond
bracelets and other articles of jewellery, of the
value of about £700, from the house of Mr.
Israel Cohen, of 54, Tavistock-square. This
wns the case in which a servant-girl named
Moore consented to introduce the prisoner into
her master’s house, and then communicated
with the police, who arrested him as he was
leaving the house. The answer to the charge
was that the girl’s statement was not sufficiently
corroborated. The prisoner’s employers gave
him an excellent character for honesty, stating
that, being manufacturing jewellors, a large
quantity of valuable property was constantly
within his reach, but they had not on any
occasion had reason to doubt his honesty^
The jury, after a short deliberation, acquitted
the prisoner. It was then arranged that a
second indictment charging him with a robbery
from the same house on March 21 should be

proceeded with next sessions.-Thomas

Riddles, traveller for a firm of provision-dealers
in Clcrkenwell, pleaded guilty to a series of
embezzlements. It was proved that he had
retained, either wholly or partially, sums of
money paid him by customers of his employers.
He was sentenced to twelve months’ imprison¬
ment, with hard labour.

Margaret Annie Dellair, thirty-seven years
of age, was indicted at the Surrey Sessions,
last week, for having obtained money and
valuable securities by false pretences, and by
means of that which has been known as the
Guinea Deposit Swindle. She was found guilty
and sentenced to five years’ penal servitude.
It was stated in court that her husband • is
undergoing a term of this punishment for a
similar otience.

Both the men accused of perjury at the trial
of Arthur Orton were, yesterday week, con¬
victed at the Central Criminal Court; and, on
the intimation of Mr. Justice Brett that he
should not make the charge of bigamy, if proved
against Lundgren, otherwise Luie, a case for
cumulative punishment, tho counsel for the
prosecution said he should not proceed with
that part of the indictment. Strong remarks
were made hy the Judge in reference to the
conduct of Lundgrcn’s preteuded frieuds, who,
though withdrawing their aid, had not ceased
from interference in the trial, but had prac¬
tically deprived their unfortunate protegd of all
defence whatever. The jury retired for twenty
minutes before giving their verdict of 41 Guilty ’
in this case ; but they did not leave tho box
when asked to decide the guilt or innocence of
44 Captain ” Brown. The two men wore placed
side by side to receive sentence, which was
Lundgren to seven and Brown to live years’

penal servitude.-On Saturday George

French was found guilty of shooting at Mary

Anne Matthews, his mother-in-law, with intent
to do her grievous bodily harm, and sentenced
by Mr. Justice Brett to ten years’ penal servi¬
tude. Collett Kelly was convicted of the
charge of feloniously wounding William Henry
Davis, with intent to murder him. The pri¬
soner had entertained very strong feelings of
animosity towards his brother and his wife, and
for threats .towards them he had been repeat¬
edly imprisoned. The prosecutor in this case
had been employed by the brother to watch his
house and protect him and his wife from the
risoner’s violence. He was sentenced to be
ept in penal servitude for the remainder of
his life.

On behalf of tho late claimant to the Tich-
borne estates, an application was, on Monday,
made to Mr. Justice Lush, at Judges’ chambers,
for an order on the prosecution to produce tho
roll of all the proceedings in the late trial, in
order that it might bo submitted to the de¬
fendant’s counsel, who were instructed to apply
for a new trial and an arrest of judgment at
the opening of Easter Term. The motion was
refused by the Judge.

Mr. James Hunt, a farmer, of Witney,
Oxfordshire, was, on Tuesday, fined, at Guild¬
hall, £20 and £5 5s. costs, or a month’s im¬
prisonment, for sending a quantity of diseased
meat to the Metropolitan Meat-market for sale,
Mr. John Fanner, of Swindon, Wilts, was also
fined £20 and £3 3s. costs for a similar offence.

Mr. Webb was fined Gs. and 2s. costs at
Worship-street, on Tuesday, for not sending
his child to an efficient school. The child was
a regular attendant at a private school, which,
however, was stated to bo inefficient; the
mistress of the school was not certificated, and

the child was badly taught.-There were

some prosecutions at this court for the sale of
adulterated mustard, and fines of 20 s. and coats
were inflicted.

Mrs. Easterby, the missing prosecutrix in the
money-lending case at Finchley, lias reappeared,
and, as a consequence, her * solicitor, with a
number of the Diprose fraternity, stand charged
at the Mansion House with conspiring to defeat
the ends of justice. Several of the prisoners
were originally under trial for felony and mis¬
demeanour, arising out of the illegal enforce¬
ment of a bill of sale. Mrs. Easterby, though
bound over to prosecute, was spirited away,
and, after repeated adjournments, the de¬
fendants were discharged last October. Mra.
Easterby returned to England in February, and
made a full disclosure to Mr. Wontner of what
the Hammonds and their accomplices had done
with her in the interval. When formal evi¬
dence had been taken against them on Monday,
the defendants were remanded.

At Marlborough-street Police-Sergeant Bren¬
nan, of the X Division, was finally examined,
on Thursday week, on the charge of perjury
which had been pending against liim for several
weeks, and was committed for trial, the magis¬
trate consenting to accept bail.

On a charge of forgery, Mr. William
Hennessy, secretary to the United Club and
Hotel Company, has been finally examined
by Mr. Knox, and committed for trial.

A charge of burglary was heard at West¬
minster, on Monday, in which the prisoner
admitted his guilt, saying that he had watched
the constable round on bis beat, which he
knew to be three quarters of an hour in
length. He was committed for triaL

For using unjust scales two tradesmen have
been fined by Mr. Bridge, the magistrate of
Wandsworth Police Court. In one case, a
piece of lead had been used to make a small
difference against the buyer. The defendant
threw the blame on his scale-maker, but a
penalty of £5 with costs was inflicted.

Another batch of Islington errand-boys,
porters, and shop-lads, charged with. Sunday
outrages on the pavement of Upper-street,
came on Monday before Mr. Cooke, the Clerk-
enwell magistrate, who, observing that the
recent heavy sentences for that class of miscon¬
duct had been of good effect, fined each of
these youths £3, ordering them, in default, to
be imprisoned for six weeks, with hard labour.

Milk adulteration seems to be so profitable a
business that its followers can afford to brave
exposure and to pay fines. On Saturday
Edward Rough, a cowkeeper, of Chatham-roaJ,
Wandsworth-common, was called upon by
Mr. Ingham, the magistrate, to pay a penalty
of £5 and 7s. costs, for having sold milk adul¬
terated with 35 per cent of water.

At the Hull Sessions, yesterday week, five
boys belonging to tho Humber training-ship
were charged with attempting to set her on
fire, and two of them were further charged
with attempting to scuttle the ship. All the
prisoners were found guilty. One was sen¬
tenced to be imprisoned for eighteen months,
another for twelve months, and the others six
months each, and after that they were to be
sent for five years to the Stranraer Reformatory.

A Coroner’s verdict of 44 Wilful murder”
was returned at Liverpool on Saturday against
Thomas Flanagan for causing the deatliof his

aunt, Mary Flanagan.-Maria Burfctt, who

was sentenced to death at Devizes for child
murder, has had her punishment reduced to
penal servitude for life.

A dinner was given to Mr. Councillor S.
Cleaver, in the Masonic Hall, Leicester, on
i uesdoy evening, in recognition of his services
for many years as secretary of the Leicester
Licensed Victuallers’ Association. Mr. Cleaver
was presented with a gold chronometer and
chain, a purse of 200 gs., and an address.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS, April 18, 1874. — 373

COLONEL SIR J. C. M*LEOD, K.C.B., 42ND HIGHLANDERS.

LANCE-SERGEANT MGAW, V.C.. 42X0 HIGHLANDERS.

LIEUTENANT LORD GIFFORD, V.C.

This young English nobleman, who appeared the other day at
the review of Sir Garnet Wolseley’s little army in Windsor
Park, and received from the Queen’s own hand the Victoria
Cross of Valour, holds a commission in the 24th Regiment of
Foot, by exchange from the 83rd. Edric Frederick Gifford, Baron
Gifford, of St. Leonards, in the county of Devon, is the third
peer of that title. The family is related, we believe, to that of
William Gifford, the eminent scholar and critic, who was the first
editor of the Quarterly Review, before Lockhart and Southey.
Robert Gifford, son of a Robert Gifford of Exeter, was born in 1799,
and from an attorney's clerk rose to be a great lawyer, Solicitor-
General and Attorney-General, and then Lord Chief Justice of
the Court of Common Pleas, which high judicial place he left
for that of Master of the Rolls, with a seat in the House of
Lords, in 1824. By his wife, the daughter of a Devonshire
country clergymen, this first Lord Gifford had six sons and
three daughters. The eldest son, Robert Francis Gifford,

became the second Baron Gifford on the death of his father, in
182G. He married, in 1845, a daughter of Admiral Sir
Maurice Fitzhardinge Berkeley, M.P. for Gloucester, who
became Lord Fitzhardinge.

Their eldest son, the present Lord Gifford, was born
July 5, 1849, so that he is now twenty-four years of age. He
was educated at Harrow. By the death of his father, in May,
1872 , he succeeded to the peerage and estates. He is yet un*
married. His Beat is Ampnoy Park, near Cirencester. The
heir presumptive to the barony is his brother, Edward Robert
Gifford, born in 1853.

Lord Gifford’s gallant behaviour and useful service in the
late campaign against the Ashantees will long bo remembered
to his honour. He accompanied the expedition as a volunteer.
Sir Garnet appointed him leader of a party of seventy-five ad¬
vance scouts or guides, who were Houssas, Opobos, Bonny men,
and other native Africans of the wildest fighting disposition.
With this band of strange followers, all enthusiastically
attached to their English captain, he daily sallied out of the

camp, or preceded the march of the army several days, to
explore the country before them. His adventurous exploits
have partly been told, and our Special Artist at the General s
head-quarters more than once sent ns Illustrations of what Lord
Gifford was doing. Not a little of the success of Sir Garnet
Wolseley’s operations is due to the early and sure knowledge
he gained of the enemy’s movements and those of hostile or
treacherous neighbours, through the frequent communications
from Lord Gifford to Colonel Buller, head of the Intelligence
Department. It was, of course, a service of more than ordi¬
nary personal risk, as the advance scouts, with their daring
loader, were sometimes waylaid and shot at by the foe in
ambush while penetrating the dense jungle of the tropical
forest. More than half the band were killed or wounded;
Ijord Gilford happily escaped. The reader of our Journal
or of the Illustrated Narrative, “From Capo Coast to Goo-
massie,” which wo have recently published, will scarcely
forget that singular incident, the encounter of Lord Gilford
with an Ashantee priest or wizard, on Jan. 17, when lie was
the first to cross the frontier at the summit of the Adansi Hills.

The Portrait of Lord Gifford is from a photograph by Messrs.
Maull and Co._

SIR JOHN M'LEOD, K.C.B.

Her Majesty has conferred a knighthood upon Colonel John
Chetham M'Leod, the commanding officer of the 42nd Royal
Highlanders, the “ Black Watch, in the Ashantee War, who
further commanded, beyond the river Prah, the advanced
guard of the army, composed of the company of scouts, Wood s
and Russell’s native regiments, Bait's Artillery, and the head¬
quarters of the 2nd West India Regiment. He led the expe¬
ditions to Dubuassie and Borborassie, and CQmmanded the left
attack at the battle of Amoaful, on Jan. 31, the expedition to
Becqua and destruction of that place. The advanced guard in
the engagement of Jarbriuba was also commanded by him, and
he conducted the skirmishes and ambuscade affairs between
Adwabin and the river Dah. It was Colonel M‘Leod w T ho com¬
menced the attack at the battle of Ordahsu, with portions of
Wood’s and Russell’s regiments, three companies of the Rifle
Brigade, and one 7-pounder gun. He afterw ards, with the 42nd
Royal Highlanders, a gun, and rocket detachment, forced the
position ; and, pressing the fugitives with the Highlanders,
entered Coomassie the same evening. Colonel M ‘Leoa was then
appointed commandant of the place. This gallant officer served
throughout the campaign of 1854 and 1855 in the Crimea, in¬
cluding the battles of Alma and Balaclava and the expedition
to Kertch and to Yenikale, as well as the siege and fall of
Sebastopol. He obtained the medal with three clasps, and was
made a Knight of the French Legion of Honour, besides getting
the Turkish medal. He served through the campaign o!
1857-8 against the mutineers in India, including the actions at
Cawnpore on Dec. 6, 1857 ; at the Serai-ghaut, where lie was
mentioned in a despatch ; at Kala-Nuddy and Shurushabad ;
and in the siege and fall of Lucknow. He took part there in
the assault of the Martiniere, that of Banks’s Bungalow, and
that of the Begum’s Kotee, for which he w r as mentioned in the
despatch. He was in the attack on the fort of Roohjra, in the
action at Allygunge, and at the capture of Bareilly. For these
services he received the medal and clasp and nis brevet of
Lieutenant-Colonel.

SIR ARCHIBALD ALISON, 13ART., K C.B.

This distinguished officer, w’ho lias been raised from the
Companionship to the Knighthood of the Bath, for his services
in the Ashantee War, holds the rank of Colonel in the Army,
but acted as Brigadier-General during the late campaign. He
is eldest son of the late Sir Archibald Alison, D.C.L., F.R.S.,
who held tho judicial office of Sheriff at Glasgow, and was
author of “The History of Europe from the French Revo¬
lution,” attaining the baronetcy in 1852, as an acknowledgment
of his literary toils. The historian and Scottish lawyer was,
according to Sir Bernard Burke, eighteenth in direct descent
from King Edward I., and a descendant also of King Robert
Bruce. Ilis wife, mother of the present Sir Archibald, was a
daughter of Colonel Patrick Tytler, and is said to be descended,
through the Erskines, from the royal house of Stuart and the
ducal house of Lennox. The grandfather of Colonel Sir A.
Alison was the Rev. Prebendary Alison, of Shropshire, author
of a well-known metaphysical essay on the “Principles of
Taste.” The present Baronet was born in January’, 182G,
and entered the Army, as Ensign in the 72nd Highlanders,
in 1846. He became Lieutenant in 1S49 ; Captain, 1853;
Major, 1856; Lieutenant-Colonel, 1858; and Colonel, 1867.
lie served, as a Captain in the Crimean War, at the siege
of Sebastopol, and iu the expedition to Kcrtch. He re¬
ceived two medals and a clasp and the Turkish medal for his
conduct in that war. In the war of tho Indian Mutiny Major
Alison was Military Secretary to Field Marshal Lord Clyde,
and lost his left arm at the siege of Lucknow. This incident is
related by General Sir Hope Grant, in his recent narrative of
“ The Sepoy War.” Since 1862 Sir Archibald Alison, who
succeeded to the baronetcy in 1S67, has held tho Staff appoint¬
ment of Assistant Adjutant-General, latterly at Aldcrshott.
He married, in 185S, a daughter of the late Mr. James Black,
and has two sons and four daughters. As Brigadier, serving
in the late Ashantee War, under Sir Garnet Wolseley, he com¬
manded the front column, composed of the 42ud Highlanders
and some of the|23rd Welsh Fusiliers, at the battle of Amoaful, on
Jan. 31. The circumstances of that action are described in our
published narrative of the campaign, “From Cape Coast to
Coomassie.” Sir Archibald was second in command of the
forces after the occasion when Colonel J. C. M‘Neill, C.B.,
Y.O., was disabled by a wound at Elmina.

The Portrait of Sir Archibald Alison is from a photograph by
Mr. Irvine, Prince’s street, Edinburgh.

THE LATE MAJOR BAIRD.

One of the lamented deaths among the officers of Sir Garnet
Wolseley’s little army in the Ashantee War is that of Major
William Arthur Baird, of the 42nd Highlanders. He died on board
the hospital-ship Victor Emmanuel, at Sierra Leone, on the
5th ulfc., from a disease contracted some time ago, but compli¬
cated with other disorders, caused by tho West African climate.
He had also been weakened by the effects of a wound at the
battle of Amoaful, on Jan. 31. Major Baird served iu the
Crimea from July, 1854, through the siege of Sebastopol, for
which he received the medal, with clasp. He served also in
the campaigu of 1857Jaud 1S58, against the mutineers iu India,
including the actions of Kudjguuge and Shurushabad, the siege
aud capture of Lucknow, the attack on tho fort of Roshea,
the action at Allygung, and the attack and capturo of Bareilly’
again receiving a medal, with clasp. “He was buried on
shore, at Sierra Leone,” says one who knew him, “on the
evening of tho Gth ult., with all military honours aud every
mark of respect that could be shown to one whose patience and

fortitude, under much suffering, would alone have won admira¬
tion and regard had not the soldier-like fate of an officer, with
the distressing circumstance of being far from home and his
regiment, ensured the sympathy, regret, and respect of all.
The London Gazette of March 31 announced that the late
Maior Baird w’ould have been granted brevet promotion to the
rank of Lieutenant-Colonel had he survived. He was bom in
1839, a younger son of the late Sir David Baird, Bart., and
brother of the present Sir David. The distinguished General
of this name, an older Sir David Baird, who stormed Seringa-
latam in 1799, conquered the Cape of Good. Hope, and fought
Deside Sir John Moore at Corunna, was their great-uncle.

The Portrait of Major Baird is from a photograph by Mr. A.
Bassano, of Regent-street.

We have much pleasure in engraving also the portrait of a
brave non-commissioned officer of the same regiment, Sergeant
M‘Gaw, on whom her Majesty has bestowed the decoration of
the Victoria Cross, at the same time conferred upon Lord
Gifford, for acts of valour performed by him in the Ashantee
War. The following is the record of this distinction published
in the London Gazette: —“42nd Regiment, Lance-Sergeant
Samuel M‘Gaw—For having, at the battle of Amoaful, Jan. 31,
1874, led his section through the bush in the most excellent
manner, continuing to do so throughout the w'hole day,
although badly wounded early in the engagement.” We
observed with regret that this good soldier of the “Black
Watch,” being still an invalid, was not able to be presented to
the Queen, with Lord Gifford, at the Windsor Review.

The Portrait is from a photograph by Mr. J. Porter, of Perth.

RAISING A SUNKEN SHIP.

Our Illustration shows the method which has been successfully
adopted to raise the large East Indiaman accidentally sunk in
the Thames, about tw T o miles below Gravesend, on the 17th
ult. This ship was going out with a full cargo on her voyage
to Bombay, and lay at anchor waiting for the tide, when she
w r as run into by a steamer, and went down in ten minutes, but
happily no lives were lost. The agents of the Salvage Asso¬
ciation and the officers of the Thames Conservancy Board have
since been taking effectual steps to lift her from the bottom,
so as to save a valuable property and clear the channel for
navigation. Two old naval hulks, those of the corvettes Icarus
and Royalist, were lent for the purpose by the Lords of the
Admiralty. Divers were employed to pass twelve chains of
the largest size beneath the hull of the sunk ship. The two
hulks were then placed one on each side, and were chained
down at low tide by the chains that lay under the submerged
hull. In consequence of this arrangement, when the tide rose,
the two floating nulls rising lifted the sunk ship bodily upward.
This simple operation is seen in our Engraving. Wnen raised
well off the bottom, the vessel, still upheld by her two sup¬
porters, was towed into shallow water. There, by the tide
again falling, she was left dry and safe, to be lightened of her
cargo, and to be repaired or refitted, as need may require.

FINE ARTS.

The Royal Academy is gradually introducing minor, but not
unimportant, reforms. This year the “ outside ” contributors
will be informed by letter as to whether the works they have
offered for exhibition are accepted or excluded ; the artists will
not be required to apply to know their fate at the back door of
the Academy, as heretofore. A needless humiliation will thus
be spared to many, and no scene of unseemly crowding and
exposure can occur, such as we engraved a few years ago. As
showing the extent to which this innovation affects the general
body of artists, we may remark that as many as about 5400
works have, it is said, been offered for the ensuing exhibition—
that is, 400 more than last year. Another change is made,
evidently in a spirit of concession. The dado in the Great
Room at Burlington House Has been lowered considerably,
so as probably to admit of hanging near a hundred moro small
pictures than last year. We regret to learn that the great
picture by Mr. F. Goodall, entitled “Rachel and her Flock,”
intended for the forthcoming Academy exhibition, will nob
appear, the artist having found that he could not quite com¬
plete it to his satisfaction in time. We also hear that Mr. F.
Walker’s principal picture of the last year (as that of the pre¬
ceding year) is not completed, in consequence, we arc sorry to
say, of a return of ill-health. Mr. Poynter sends hut one
small picture ; and other members of the Academic body will
exhibit more sparingly than usual.

The annual exhibition of oil paintings at Mr. M ‘Lean’s
gallery, Haymarket, comprises 131 pictures, chiefly by foreign
artists. Many of the works are of choice quality, if not im¬
portant examples. The following deserve, however, special
mention:—“Die Kafeestunde” (9), by the eminent German
painter Knaus—an old fellow seated beside a stove sipping his
coffee, very admirable for character and expression; “ Brittany
Sheep” (37), by Rosa Bonheur—rather heavy in effect, but
otherwise excellent; Nos. 39 and 96, by Oeder; studies or
sketches by A. Stevens ; pictures of dogs by O. de Penne, and
minor specimens of J. Dupr6, C. Troyon, J. Breton, L.
Yimenez, Israels, T. Sadee, W. Bouguereau, H. Meric, E.
Feyen, E. de Sckampheleer, and Corot. Among the English

E ictures are a rather large landscape by J. Linnell, a landscape
y G. Cole, and reductions by Mr, F. Goodall of his “Mater
Dolorosa” and “Mater Purissima.”

An Institute for the Promotion of the Fine Arts, to which
are attached a museum, library, and reading-room, is about to
be opened to the public at Stirling. The institute has been
built by the trustees under the 'will of the late Mr. Thomas
Smith, of Glassingall, Perthshire, and Fitzroy-square, London,
w’ho left £22,000 for that purpose, as also a collection of pic¬
tures, amongst which are two works by the late John
Phillip, R.A.

The collection of the engraved works of Sir Edwin Landseer,
lately on view at the Gallery, 191, Piccadilly, has been removed
to Mr. Graves’s, Pall-mall. A new edition of tho useful,
chronologically-arranged catalogue, compiled by Mr. Graves,
jun., is also issued.

ROYAL INSTITUTION LECTURE.

STRUCTURE AND ACTION OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM.

Professor Rutherford, M.D., F.R.S., on Tuesday last, began
a course of six lectures on the nervous system by giving a brief
sketch of its general arrangement in invertebrate aud vertebrate
animals, and describing the essential elements-«-nerve-cells and
nerve-fibres. The nerve-fibres, like the wires of a telegraph,
are concerned in tho transmission of a kind of motion from or
to a ncrve-cell; and the essential conducting part of every
nerve appears to consist of extremely slender threads—the nerve-
fibrils. These fibrils may be foimd running singly and uncovered
amongst various tissues of the body at the peripheral termina¬
tions of some of the nerves. In the ordinary nerve-trunks the
fibrils are collected into bundles, and arc closed in one or two
special coverings or sheaths. After describing various forms of
nerve-cells, exhibited in diagrams, tho Professor considered the
properties which ho regarded as peculiar to a nerve in its living
state—excitability and electromotivity—that is, a capability of
being tlirown into action on the application of excitauts, and
a power of generating electrical currents. He then threw the
image of a frog's limb, with its nerve, upon a screen, and
showed that the limb remains at rest until it is excited in some
way. He then applied a drop of a strong solution of common
salt to the end of the nerve, which w r as still in connec¬
tion with muscles of the limb, and show’cd that chemical
energy can excite the nerve, and that the excitement or
motion sot up in the nerve travels along it aud is
communicated to the muscles. The nerve acts as a stimulant
to the muscles aud sets up a visible motion in them ; but the
motion set up by the stimulant in the nerve is invisible. It w r as
also shown that electrical, mechanical, and thermal energy can
also excite the nerve-fibres when applied to them directly ; but
that luminous and sonorous energy can only do so through the
intervention of certain peculiar terminal organs in the eye and
ear. The excitement of a nerve normally starts from its
terminations amid tho textures generally, or from the nerve-
cell ; in other words, the source of the excitement is either
peripheral or central. The various peripheral terminal organs
in connection with nerves in the eye, ear, nose, tongue, and
skin were described, and it was pointed out that these arc
structures through whose intervention such inlluenees as light,
sound, odoriferous particles, and sapid substances affect the
nerve-fibrils. These nerve-fibrils, the Professor said, do not, how¬
ever, always end peripherally in special terminal organs’; but
throughout many textures they simply form a network, aud
whether the fibrils terminate in loops or iu free ends has not
been definitely determined.

On Friday evening next, the 24th inst., Mr. C. Watkins
Merrill eld, F. K.S., honorary secretary of the Institute of Naval
Architects, will give a discourse on Sen Waves.

In Iris report to her Majesty, as Chancellor of the Duck
ILancaster, Mr. Childers stated last September that the gi
income of the duchy had, in a quarter of a century increa
from £29,000 to £59,000. The net payments to her Majc
had contemporaneously risen from £12,000 to £40,000.

Mr. Gladstone, in reply to an invitation to attend
Liberal banquet at Bodmin oil Tuesday, ha 3 expressed sa
faction at such signs of energy, and he hopes of prudence
the party which he serves and leads ; but other invitations
the same kind are very numerous, extending over all parts
the country; and, though he rates the claims of Cornwall v
high, he is obliged to decline the request.

We some time back announced the completion by Mr.
Willmore of his engraving, for the Art-Union of London, after
Mr. Cooke’s picture of Dutch fishing-boats ashore, relieved
against dark masses of cumulus clouds. This engraving is now
in course of distribution to subscribers, and should prove very
popular; for it is one of the distinguished engraver’s best
works, and, especially on account of its being executed in pure
line, its production is very creditable to the management of tho
Art-Union. The delicacy, brilliancy, aud fidelity of the plate
are alike admirable.

Sir J. Noel Baton’s father, Mr. Joseph Patou, a colourist of
considerable repute, a zealous antiquarian, aud the owner of
the finest private museum in Scotland, died on Tuesday, in the
seventy-eighth year of his age.

The veteran humourist and artist, Mr. George Cruikshank,
who amused our fathers in their youth, some fifty or sixty
years ago, with the droll creations of his teeming fancy, has
just now r republished a series of his designs called “Illustra¬
tions of Time.” This work first appeared on the May-day of
1827, and it shows the costumes and manners of a past age,
w hen George the Fourth w as King. Coloured coats, w'aistcoat*,
and breeches or trousers were then commonly worn, as it seem?,
even by men of the middle class ; and the women’s fashions of
sleeves, waists, and skirts, and of headgear, were very different
from those of 1874. Some of the actions, too, which are repre¬
sented here by Mr. Cruikshank, such as the scene in the prize
ring and the arrival of a tardy passenger at the inn-door after the
stage-coach has started, hardly belong to the present day ; still
less, we remark, the flogging of negro slaves in a West Indian
plantation, or the imprisonment of a spendthrift man ff
fashion behind the lofty spiked w r all of the King’s Bench.
But the quality of Mr. Cruikshank’s fertile vein of happy
invention still appears as rich as when it was first
opened; and several of these comic things are con¬
ceived in liis most genuine style. One of the best is that
famous illustration of “ Term Time,” in which a smug lawyer
is seen, outside Westminster Hall, handing to plaintiff and
defendant each an oyster-shell, or, rather, half the bivalve,
with the announcement that the Court has proved it to be “a
very fine oyster.” The illustrations of “Pudding Time,”
“lied Time,” and “Holiday Time ” are kindly pictures of
common family life ; and -we like also the little bit wliicli I/ears
tho motto “Out, out, brief caudle!” A ludicrous scene of
washerwomen trying to scrub a blackamoor white is called
“Time thrown aw’ay ! ” Nothing, however, is more effective,
as a dramatic example of a moral truth, than the dying scene of
Father Time, who sinks and swoons in his arm-cliair, in spite
of the frantic efforts and grief of his sons and daughters and
servants, now reproaching and bew.Aling themselves, too late,
for their past neglect and abuse of time. This clever artist,
indeed, is a faithful moral teacher and honest social reformer,
He has been allowed, w T e are glad to say, a large share of
“ d fine ” for his peculiar work, hi which no greater genius has
yet appeared. Mr. Cruikshank’a “Time” has l>een improved to
good profit for the welfare of two generations, if not three,
siuce he began to wield the pencil and the burin or etching*
needle. Indeed, we saw a very little girl, tho other day, aa
much delighted with these amusing pictures as her grand¬
mother might have been, at the aaino age of her life, when they
lirst can io out. The present edition—plain, coloured, or on
ludiau large paper—is published for the artist by Mr. F. Arnold,
86, Fleet-street.

On dit that the number of pictures sent in for the ensuing
exhibition of the Paris salon is nearly 7000. The works of
sculpture are proportionately fully as numerous.

MUSIC.

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.

The closing performances of last week—which took place too
late for earlier notice — comprised some special features. On
the Friday Meyerbeer’s posthumous opera, “ L’Africaine,”
brought back Mdlle. D’Angeri, as Selika, and M. Manrei, as
Nelusko. It was in the same character that the lady made her
diSbut at this establishment on the opening night of last season,
since when she lias gained much in vocal and dramatic power,
as evidenced in her subsequent performances of last year, and
especially in that now referred to. In the ** Slumber Song ”
of the second act, and still more in the following important
scenes with Nelusko and Vasco, the performance of Mdlle.
D’Angeri was full of earnestness and feeling; her declamatory
force having been still further exemplified in the fourth act,
when Selika is restored to the splendour of her barbaric court.
In the final scene of despair and death, beneath the poisonous
influence of the mancanilla-tree, Mdlle. D’Angeri also displayed
much dramatic feeling.

The good phrasing and artistic style of M. Maurel were
effectively apparent in the music of Nelusko, while his acting
was especially successful in indicating the fierce impulse of the
daring slave without the tendency to melodramatic exaggera¬
tion which the character readily admits of. Madame Sinico and
Signor Nicolini were the same excellent representatives as here¬
tofore, respectively, of Inez and Vasco di Gama, Signori
Bagagiolo and Capponi having again appeared as Don Pedro
and the Grand Inquisitor. Signor Sabater, tho new tenor
spoken of last week, was efficient in the small part of Don
Alvar; and other characters were, as before, filled by Signori
Tagliafico, Raguer, &c.

The scenes of the seizure of the ship by savages ; of the Indian
Court, with its splendid pageants ; and that of the mancanilla-
trees, with the gloomy seashore, presented all that well-known
elaborate picturesqueness which is peculiar to this theatre.

Saturday brought forward a new tenor—Signor Blume-
Dorini—as Almaviva in “II Barbiero di Siviglia.” Of this
gentleman’s merits we must await another opportunity for
judgment, as his vocal power appeared to be diminished and his
execution restrained by the combined influence of nervousness
and indisposition. Mdlle. Marimon, as Rosina, sang with an
effect beyond that of her former representations of the cha¬
racter at her Majesty’s Opera, successful as those were. In the
cavatina, “ Una voce,” in the duet (with Figaro), “ Dunque io
son,” and in the waltz-aria introduced in the lesson-scene,
Mdlle. Marimon proved herself a brilliant executive artist, the
last-named piece, with its elaborate bravura passages, having
been enthusiastically encored. Signor Cotogni’a Figaro and
Signor Ciampi’s Bartolo were the same meritorious performances
as heretofore.

On Monday Mdlle. D'Angeri again appeared and gave fresh
proof of progress by her powerful performance as Leonora in
“ La Favorita the small part of Inez having brought forward
Mdlle. Cottino, a young debutante, who was favourably re¬
ceived. As heretofore, the capital acting and singing of
Signori Nicolini and Cotogni, respectively as Fernando and
Alfonso, were important features in the representation of the
opera.

On Tuesday “ 11 Barbi^re ” was repeated, with the same
cast as that noticed above, except that Signor Bettini
replaced the new tenor as Almaviva.

For Thursday “Guglielmo Tell” was announced, with the
d<$but of Signor Bolis as Arnoldo; on Friday “ I^es Huguenots ”
was to be given; and to night (Saturday) Mdlle. Smeroschi is
to return, in the character of Adina in “ L’Elisir d’Amore.”

Signor Yianesi has hitherto conducted all the performances.

HER MAJESTY’S OPERA.

Two of the four performances of last w r eek remain for
present comment—those of Thursday and Saturday. On the
occasion first named, Signor Ramini, a new tenor, made his
d<5but as Lionello, in FIotow’s “ Marta,” and obtained a de¬
served success. This gentleman’s voice is of light and agreeable
quality, his intonation and phrasing are good, and he has the
merit (now a rare one) of avoiding excessive use of the
“tremolo,” which bids fair to supersede the genuine cantabile
style. Signor Ramini’s delivery of the aria “M’appari ” was
in excellent taste, and produced so strong an impression that it
was encored with enthusiasm.

Mdlle. Alwina Valleria, as Lady Enrichetta, sang with much
brightness of voice and fluency of execution. Although some
of her florid embellishments were a little too ambitious, much
of her bravura singing was brilliant and effective, while her
unaffected delivery of the romanza “Qni solo vergin’* (“Tho
Last Rose of Summer”) drew down applause that was only
silenced by a repetition of the second verse. Madame Trebelli-
Bcttini, as Nancy, sang with the same charm of voice and style
as on many previous occasions ; anil Signor Catalani—whose
capital singing as Don Pizarro, in “ Fidel io,” was recently
noticed — has taken another step in advance by his performance
as Plumketto, the song in praise of beer having been greatly
applauded and encored.

“Saturday’s performance of “La Favorita” included the
debut of Signor do Reschi as Alfonso. This new baritono
singer has a voice of beautiful and even quality, with an excep¬
tionally high range (reaching to G) ; he phrases well, especially
in cantabile passages; and adds to his vocal qualifications the
possession of a good stage presence. Although, we believe,
somewhat under the influence of indisposition, he obtained a
more than ordinary success, having been encored in the closing
movement of his aria in the first act, and greatly applauded in
several other instances.

As Ualdassare, Signor Ginlio Perkins made his first appear¬
ance here, and displayed a bass voice of much weight and
power. The cast of tho opera included tho Leonora of Mdlle.
Titiens, the Fernando of Signor Naudin, and other ovcll-known
features.

On Monday “ Semiramide” was repeated, and Signor
Agnesi resumed the character of Assur, after an absence caused
by illness.

On Tuesday “ Rignletto ” was given again; with the sub¬
stitution of Mdlle. P.is arelli for Mdlle. Lodi as Hilda, the last-
named lady having been compel 1 oil to return to Italy in con¬
sequence of severe illness caused by tho influence of our
climate. Mdlle. Bisuelli made a genuine impression by her
bright vocalisation in the duet with her father, that with her
lover, and her aria “ Caro norne,” in tho first act ; and by her
impassioned earnestness in the subsequent great scene with !

Rigoletto in the Duke’s palace. She was much and deservedly
applauded in each instance. The cast of tho opera was other-
wiso the samo as before. Sir Michael Costa conducted the
performance referred to.

On Thursday “ Fidelio ” was to be repeated; and for
to-night (Saturday), “ Lea Huguenots ” is promised.

The second season of the British Orchestral Society termi¬
nated last week with the sixth concert of the series, the occa¬
sion having been rendered special by the attendance of the
Duke of Edinburgh, who is president of the society. The pro¬
gramme included a MS. orchestral scherzo in A minor, the
first instalment of a new symphony, by Sir Julius Benedict,
which it is to be hoped may soon be forthcoming in its entirety,
•when we shall doubtless have a work of such merit and im¬
portance as to render it a worthy successor to the composer’s
symphony in G minor, of which wo spoke in November last.
The movement now r referred to is full of animation and bright¬
ness, and was received with great applause and a call for Sir J.
Benedict, wdiocame forwardin acknowledgment. A quasi-novelty
at the concert was a characteristic fantasia, for orchestra, by
tho Russian composer Glinka, founded on national airs—a piece
of lively and pleasing character. Tho English public may soon
know more of Glinka should Mr. Gve produce his most cele¬
brated opera, “ La Vie Dour le Czar,” during the present season
of the Royal Italian Opera, of w'hich thero is a strong proba¬
bility. The other instrumental pieces at the concert referred to
were Beethoven’s “ Pastoral Symphony,” Cherubini’s overture
to “Anacreon,” that by Mr. J. F. Barnett to “The Winter’s
Tale,” and Mr. Sullivan’s “Overtura di Ballo.” Mr. Walter
Bacho gave an artistic performance of Schumann’s pianoforte
concorto, and vocal pieces were sung by Madame Lemmens-
Sherrington and Mr. Santley.

The last concert but two of the eighteenth season of Satur¬
day afternoon performances at the Crystal Palace took place
last week, when the programme was one of solid interest,
although devoid of novelty. Mendelssohn’s first (published)
symphony in C minor—one of the many proofs of his precocious
genius, having been produced in his sixteenth year—the over¬
ture from the scries of three symphonic movements by
Schumann, classed as op. 52, and that to Berlioz’s opera,
“ Benvenuto Cellini,” were the orchestral pieces. Beethoven’s
triple concerto for pianoforte, violin, and violoncello, was
finely played by Mr. Charles HalR, Madame Norman-N&rnda,
and Signor Piatti; and vocal pieces w'ere contributed by
Madame and Herr Noriny and tne Swedish Ladies’ Quartet.
At the concert of to-day (Saturday) a new pianoforte concerto
by Hen* Grieg is to be played, for the first time in England, by
Mr. Dannreuther.

The forty-second season of the Sacred Harmonic Society is
near its close. Handel’s “Judas Maccabams "was given yester¬
day (Friday) week, when the principal vocalists were Madame
Sinico, Mrs. Suter, Miss Julia Elton, Mr. Vernon Rigby, Mr.
M. Smith, and Mr. Santley. The next concert, and last of the
series, will take place on May 1, when Sir Michael Costa’s
“ Naaman ” wall be performed.

This (Saturday) afternoon the first New Philharmonic con¬
cert of the twenty-third season is to be given at St. James’s
Hall, three more afternoon performances being announced in
alternation with four evening concerts, the first of which will
take place next Wednesday. Some important new works,
besides many known classical compositions, are promised
during the series—among others, Joachlm Raff’s thirdsy mphony,
entitled “Im Walde ; ” an orchestral “suite” by Lachner;
an overture, “ Otto, dcr Schtttz,” by Rudorff; Carl Reinecke’s
“ Friedens-Overture ; ” a concert-overture composed expressly
for these concerts by Gustav Erlanger, and that produced by
Julius Rietz at the Lower Rhine Festival of 1830.

The second concert of the sixty-second season of the Phil¬
harmonic Society takes place on Monday next.

That excellent institution the Royal Society of Musicians
will celebrate its 13Gth anniversary festival at Willis’s Rooms
on April 7, under the presidency of the Prince of Wales. The
occasion is expected to attract a large attendance, by which, it
is to be hoped, substantial addition will be made to the means
of a society which conveys such valuable aid to its distressed
members, their widows and orphans. The dinner having been
postponed from last year, at his Royal Highne3s’s roquest, the
committee arc naturally anxious to raise at least double the
amount to make up tho loss in the income of the society. There
are at present sixty-nine claimants entirely supported by the
funds of the institution.

At a recent general- meeting of the Amateur Orchestral
Society, under the presidency of the Duke of Edinburgh, a com¬
plete set of Beethoven’s works was presented to his Royal
Highness by the members of the orchestra, together with an
expression of their congratulations upon his marriage with her
Imperial Highness the Grand Duchess Marie. His Royal
Highness accepted the present, and thanked tho members for
their valuable and useful gift, which lie highly prized.

On the subject of the National Music Meetings at tho
Crystal Palace, tho secretary of that institution has addressed
a letter to the daily press in w r hich he says :—“In the interests
of the movemeut embodied in this undertaking, Mr. Willert
Beale has advised the directors of the Crystal Palace that the
competitions in June next bo deferred. Many of the competing
choirs have failed to comply with rule 12, according to which
their approximate strength should be already declared. They
would therefore have been disqualified, although now r actively
employed in preparation. This, together with the practical
difficulty of carrying out two such undertakings as the Handel
Festival and the National Music Meetings during the same
week, has induced the directors to adopt the course recom¬
mended by Mr. Beale. . . . The National Music Meetings

will be resumed during the summer of 1875 in their integrity,
including the solo and other classes originally opened. The
music to be prepared for performance in competition in 1875
will be the same as that selected for the series now postponed.
The rules and lists for the meetings in 1S75 can be had on
application at the Crystal Palace.”

Mdlle. Marie Belval, daughter of the eminent French Lasso,
M. Belval, has recently attracted much attention by her sing¬
ing at the Paris Theatre Italiens. This young lady is a jirtmidr'’
pnx of the Conservatoire, and her vocal merits and accomplish¬
ments have led to her engagement for the opening season of the
new French Opera.

EASTER ENTERTAINMENTS.

We have already noticed the leading features of these pro¬
ductions. We now add a further account of certain miscel¬
laneous exhibitions likely to amuse the holiday sightseer.

POLYTECHNIC.

The programme of this institution is varied and abundant,
nnd includes more than one novelty of more than ordinary
significance. Professor E. V. Gardner delivers an important
lecture on gas, particularly in relation to its economical uso.
The lecture comprised remarks on artificial ligbt-producers, on
Lowe’s apparatus, and on Mr. Seeger’s patent carburette ; and

the experimental portion of it was highly interesting. Wc are
likewise indebted to Professor Gardner for somo information
concerning sugar, of which it is well for the public to take note.
The Professor treats of the physiology of the sugar-cane and of
sugar countries, also of a sugar farm in Jamaica and tho
native methods of cultivation and manufacture. However, it
is impossible to enter into details, which, after all, cannot bo
fully understood without reference to the experiments and
illustrations by which the lecture is copiously elucidated. As
to Air. King’s lecture on Acoustic Science, wo have reason to
be enchanted by the abundance of wonders w'hich he produces
in support of his syllabus and the connection which he proves
to exist between the phenomena of light and sound. How
sound is propagated is one of the most interesting inquiries in
the lecture. Apropos of the time, a lecture entertainment, by
Mr. B. J. Malden, entitled “The Latest Nows from Ashantee,”
gives us many new particulars. Tho Queer Dream of Sir Walter
Raleigh continues to be popular.

KflYPTIAN HALL.

The conjurors of the present day endeavour to do good
service to science and philosophy by the exposure of super¬
stitious practices w'hich the so-called spiritualists, who arc in
reality victims of tho grossest materialism, push to an extremo
which borders on the absurd. Dr. Lynn at the Egyptian Hall
exhibits his mysteries, which, after a fashion, “ confound tho
very faculties of eyes and ears,” and sometimes transcend
imaginative expectation altogether. It is our ignorance of the
cause of the eflects produced which creates the wonder ; were
the arcana revealed we should cease to admire, and most incon¬
veniently anticipate, the results which now stimulate sur¬
prise. The marvels of his magic box would no longer
astound the apprehension if w r e once knew how they
were done. Dr. Lynn appears, too, to have an instinctive
power of understanding all languages. From Hebrew to
English, and in all the intermediate lingual stages, he can inter¬
pret all learned sentences which the best instructed among his
audience are capable of inventing. He has also the power of
producing a written paper on which shall be inscribed our secret
thought of the moment. But Dr. Lynn is not the only wonder¬
worker of the Egyptian Hall. Messrs. Maskelyne and Cooke
share the honours with him, and now enter on their second
year. These gentlemen aim directly at exposing spiritualist
illusions, and succeed to an unprecedented extent. We are
not quite sure that their success is not too great; for their
experiments always succeed, which is far from being the case
with the illusionists whom they would expose. It may bo
urged that this is the exact difference between vital and me¬
chanical processes. We give the spiritualists the benefit of the
doubt; but there are so many rational grounds of suspicion
in the record of their doings, that wc dare not assert anything
of their manifestations with certainty.

THE MOHAWK MINSTRELS.

Tho success of the Moore and Burgess Minstrels naturally
excites competition ; and the troupe of coloured minstrels
above named, under the management of Mr. Thomas, make
their appeal to the public at Berners Hall, where they have
performed for more than 1G0 consecutive nights. The room
on our visit was crowded. Among those who appeared to bo
the mo3t popular w f o may name Messrs. Francis, H. Hunter,
Vernon, Sinclair, Oliver, Eustace, and Little Henry.

WOMEN GRINDING CORN.

The ancient and primitive task of reducing cereal grain to
flour, with a simple hand mill, has in many different ages and
countries, during several thousand years of human history,
been performed in the same manner by the industrious house¬
keeping sex. “Tw’o women shall be grinding in one mill.” It
is so in Bengal, where at this moment, we are sorry to know,
they and their families are suffering from the want of corn or
rice to he ground for their daily food. It is not long since we
gave an Illustration of two Fantee women, on the Gold Coast,
engaged in the same domestic work. Dr. Livingstone’s last
letter, published a few days ago, describes tho women of the
Manyuema nation, w r est of Lake Tanganyika, as using a mill of
two stones in this w’ay Instances might be found, we believe,
in almost every part of tho world* where the climate and soil
permit the cultivation of any kind of grain. The most ancient
Egyptian, Assyrian, Chinese, and Indian sculptures bear
record of this useful institution. We cannot, therefore, be
surprised to find it still extant in Ireland, which a learned lady
contends to he the true original “ Ur of tho Chaldees.” Tho
essay referred to is‘“Ireland, Ur of tho Chaldees,” by Anna
Wilkes (published by Trtibner and Co.). Leaving that question
to her and other students of remote antiquity, we have only
to speak of the quern, or hand-mill, use ! by Irishwomen of tho
peasant class to this day. When they want to make a dish
of “croudie,” or “prapeen,” as they call it in Cork, which
is merely a stirabout of raw meal and milk, this machine is
put in action.

It consists of an upper and an under stone. The uppe r stone
is about twenty-tw f o inches in diameter, and its under surface
is considerably concave. The under stone is.about an inch
narrower, and is convex, so that the two surfaces may
coincide, and afford an easy descent for the meal when
ground. In the centre of the upper stone is a circular hole,
nearly three inches in diameter. Across thi3 stouo is set
a piece of wood, having a hole in its centre about half
an inch deep and tho same in width, by means of which
the upper stone rests in poise upon a strong peg or pivot
in the centre of the lower stone. By tho adjustment
of little pieces of leather fitted into the hole, in the bar above
mentioned, the upper stone can bo raised or depressed, so as to
make the friction greater or less, as the meal is meant to ho
coarser or finer. There is an upright handle ten inches long,
set firmly in the upper stone, about two inches from the edge:
Tliis is the whole machine fitted for work. The corn is gene¬
rally dried in an iron pot over a slow fire, and kept constantly
stirred to prevent its burning. When it arrives at a certain
degree of crispness it is taken out to be ground. Two women
generally work the quern, one sitting facing the other, so that
they have the quern between them. Each in her turn tikes
hold of the handle, or sometimes both take hold when occasion
requires. The two women can grind about ten pounds of clean
meal in an hour. Among the Irish the hand-mill is called
dough vronc, or “the stone of sorrow.” We remark that the
verb tro signifies “to grind,” and dough is the Irish for stone.
The compound dough vrom should literally signify “a grinding
stone.” Bnt perhaps the Irish word vrone , for sorrow, has a
metaphorical derivation, like the Latin and English word
“tribulation,” which means just the same. Tho corn is never
shelled before grinding, but tho grain and husk are ground
together. When ground, the meal is sifted to separate the
husk from the part to be used for food. The ordinary way of
using is to mix the meal in its raw state with milk and make
it into the consistency of stirabout. This mixture is eaten
without any accompaniment.

APRIL 18, 1874

WRECK IN GIBRALTAR BAY.

The screw*steamer Queen Elizabeth, of Glasgow, on her voyage
home from Calcutta, was wrecked on the night of Thursday,
March 12, at Calaparra, seven miles from Cabrita Point, the
western headland of Gibraltar Bay. She had seventy persons
on board, crew and passengers, with a valuable cargo ot indigo,
raw silk, jute, tea, shellac, and other Indian prod nee. Her
course had been through the lied Sea, the Suez Canal, and the
Mediterranean. It is supposed that the look*out man had mis¬
taken the shore lights. About nine o’clock in the evening the
ship ran upon a ridge of shingle, 400 yards from shore, with
deep w ater between it and the beach. Her broadside w'as ex¬
posed to a heavy rolling sea. The fires were soon quenched
by the water that idled the ship, and all the people were driven
on deck. The life-boat alone could be used ; it made three
trips to shore and landed twenty-live persons in safety. But
in the fourth trip, being overcrowded by sailors jumping in,
the life-boat was upset. Twenty-three persons were drowned;
amongst them were the Rev. Mr. Allardyce, his wife and four
children, Mrs. Suckling, the purser, the surgeon, and the chief
officer of the ship, with three Spanish sailors, who had come off
from shore to help the shipw f recked English. Of these twenty-five
now remained. They had a line connecting the ship with theshore.
It was not till the middle of the next day, the 13th, that the
British Consul at Algesiras, Colonel Gordon, C.B. (late of the
75th Regiment), heard of the disaster. He then hastened to
the place, sent to Gibraltar for the rocket apparatus, and set
men to make a raft of the wooden planks, oars, and cork
bolsters that were washed ashore from the wreck. Bv this
raft four men were got ashore, but the connection line was lost,
and nothing more could be done for some hours. On the next
day (Saturday, the 14th), after much accidental delay, the
rocket apparatus of the Control Department at Gibraltar was
sent off to the place where its aid was so badly wanted. It
did not get there till half past six in the morning of Sunday,
the 15th, by a toilsome and difficult night march, with sixteen
laden mules, over the rocks and watercourses of the beach.
The expedition was commanded by Major Anley, R.A , with
Assistant Commissaries Dunstan. and Berthon in charge of the
apparatus. It was assisted by forty men of the
Royal Artillery, under Lieutenant Yorke,

R.A. By means of the rocket a rope was
passed to the ship, and Colonel Gordon s raft
w^as sent to and fro, with four or five persons
each time, until all were landed, including the
stewardess and two ayahs, or Hindoo nurses.

Fires were lighted, food and coffee were pre¬
pared, and dry clothes were given to the poor
starved and chilled people, under a shelter
made of blankets in a nook of the cliffs. They
were afterwards taken to Gibraltar, and every¬
thing w r as done for their relief. Some attempts
have since been made to recover part of tho
ship’s cargo.

into which Moses fled, anywhere west of the Jordan, and,
yet more, within the peninsula situated far away to tho
south of the “south country.” Again, we read that in their
exodus the Children of Israel crossed tho Tam Suph , or “Red
Sea.” But we also read that five centuries later Solomon, KiDg of
Israel, and Hiram, King of Tyre, sent a fleet to Ophir by way
of the Tam Suph , or “Red Sea in the land of Edom
(1 Kings ix. 26), which is well known to bo the Gulf of Akaba ;
and Dr. Beke contends that this Tam, Suph or Red Sea was the
same in both cases, ami that consequently it was the Gulf of
Akaba and not the Gulf of Suez that was crossed by the
Israelites ; the latter gulf having been as unknown to Moses as
it was to Solomon and Hiram. # .

From these and various other considerations, which would
occupy too much time to dwell on here, Dr. Beke came to the
conclusion in his work “Origines Biblicie,” published in the
year 1834, that Mount Sinai must be situated to the east of tho
meridian of the Gulf of Akaba and valley of the Jordan, and
not to the west of it, where it has universally been placed.

During the forty years that have elapsed since these views
were enunciated, the author has only become more firmly
attached to them ; and towards the end of last year he under¬
took a journey, in which he was accompanied by Mr. John
Milne, F.G.S., into the country lying to the cast of the head
of the* Gulf of Akaba, where he felt firmly convinced he would
find tho true Mount Sinai. He has found what he considers to
answer his expectation. In the evening of Jan. 30 the travel¬
lers encamped at the foot of Mount Baghir, one of the loftiest
peaks of the mountain-range between the Wady-el-Arabah, the
broad valley-plain extending from the head of the Gulf of Akaba
to the Dead Sea, on tho west, and the Wady-el-Ithem, along
which passes the road to Petra, on the east; which mountain
is called Jcbel el jN’ur , or the “Mountain of Light,” as Dr.
Beke thinks, because of the light which appeared on its summit
and served as a guide to the Children of Israel in their flight
from Mizraim (Egypt). .

On the following morning, Mr. Milne ascended this newly-
discovered Mount Sinai, which has an olevation of about 5000 ft.,
and on the summit he found numerous horns and skulls of
sheep, with a few bones, it being the custom of the Bedouins,

THE ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY.

The Zoological Society have lately made an
important addition to their living collection in
the Regent’s Park, in the shape of a new
rhinoceros, belonging to the species called by
naturalists the Soudaic or Javan rhinoceros.

In general appearance this animal, a figure of
which we now give, nearly resembles the large
Indian rhinoceros, or Rhinoceros unicornis of
Linnreus, and, like the latter, has but one horn
ou its nose. It is, however, readily distinguish¬
able by its smaller size, its long prehensile
upper lip, and the different arrangement of the
folds of the strong heavy skin which covers
the back. The present specimen, which is
believed to he the only individual of the
species ever brought alive to Europe, was for
some time kept in captivity in some tea gardens
at Batavia, in Java. Having becu purchased
by tho agents of some well-known dealers in
animals, it was conveyed to this country, and
ultimately transferred to the Zoological Society
for the sum of £800. The Javan rhinoceros
is of tho male sex, and, though certainly by
no means adult, is believed to have acquired
nearly its full stature. It is lodged with its
brethren and sisters of the same genus in
the elephant-house in the middle garden. There is, wo
believe, no specimen of this rhinoceros in the British Museum.

The Zoological Society have devoted a sum of money
lately bequeathed to their institution to providing a series of
lectures, on Tuesday and Friday evenings in summer, in the
room where Mr. Wolf’s beautiful coloured drawings are. up
stairs next to the serpent-house. The first lecture was given
last Tuesday, by Dr. P. L. Sclater, F.JLS., the able and accom¬
plished secretary to the Zoological Society. Ho described,
rather in the way of a classified catalogue, the collections of
vertebrate animals in these gardens, in succeeding lectures
he will give a scientific and popular description of the mammals
and birds, and probably also the reptiles, amphibians, and
fishes. Dr. Garrod and Dr. W. B. Carpenter will lecture in
May; the latter will treat of the invertebrate animals, more
particularly those in the aquarium. Dr. Sclater gave some
interesting statistics of feeding the many hundreds of animals
under the society’s care. He also described the chief foreign
zoological collections—that of the Jardin des Plantes at Pans,
and those of Antwerp, Brussels, Amsterdam, Rotterdam,
Berlin, Cologne, Hamburg, America, and Australia. We are
glad to hear that the London Zoological Society intend to build
a new and commodious house for the “large cats,” the lions,
tigers, and leopards.

DR. BEKE’S MOUNT SINAI.

Our readers are probably aware that somo controversy has
taken place regarding the correctness of the positions generally
attributed to Mount Sinai and the other holy phvees connected
with tho history of the exodus of the Israelites. It has been
commonly believed that the children of Israel crossed the Gulf
of Suez in their (light from Egypt, and that the mountain on
which the Law was delivered to Moses is one of the peaks of the
mountain mass situated within the peninsula between that gulf
and the Gulf of Akaba. Yet the well-known traveller in
Abyssinia and the Holy Land, Dr. Beke, has long denied the
correctness of sueh conclusions. Paradoxical as his view may
appear, it is based on an argument briefly stated. We are told
in Scripture that when “ Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh ”
l Exodus ii. 15) he “dwelt in the land of Midian.” Now,
as every reader of the Bible knows, the land of Midian forms
part of the “east country ’’—that is to say, . the country
situate to the cast, of the Jordan. Hence, argues Dr. Beke,
it is a fundamental error to place Midian, the “east country”

and also of occasional pilgrims, even from a great distance, to
come here to perform their devotions, and to offer sacrifice.
One of the most noted of these pilgrims is the famous Moham¬
medan saint, Sidi Ali ibn Alcim, whose tomb and mosque are at
El Uaram, near Jaffa. Half-way up the mountain the traveller
came to a pile of four large boulders of granite, tho material of
the mountain, three of them standing up facing tho north, and
one at the back of the others facing the south, and on all of
them are engraved inscriptions, which he copied. The stones,
which are much weather-worn, are externally of a dark brown
colour, against which the inscriptions make themselves visible
from their being of a somewhat lighter colour. The lines of these
“Sinaitic inscriptions” arcabout three quarters of an inch broad,
and very shallow, being not more than an eighth of an inch deep.
The incised figures are very rude : they can hardly be phonetic,
neither is it easy to say what they are intended to represent.
By a communication from Dr. Beke, we are enabled to give
facsimiles of the copies made of these curious inscriptions. We
also present two views of Dr. Beke’s Mount Sinai, from
sketches by Mr. Milne ; the one being taken from the south,
at the junction of Wady Amran with Wady-el-Ithem, near
the foot of the mountain, in proximity to which junction is a
large stone, covered on two sides with an inscription in the
Cunc or ancient Arabic character. The other view was taken
at a greater distance from the south-west, on the opposite shore
of the Gulf of Akaba, or Red Sea, beyond the Jesirat Fira’ou,
or “Pharaohs Island.” This is a barren rock, with a strongly-
fortified Saracenic castle, now in ruins, occupying its entire
summit; on which island the dead body of the oppressor of the
Children of Israel is said to have been cast ashore after he and
his host were drowned in the Red Sea.

The correctness of Dr. Beke’s topographical theory must be
left to the judgment of scholars. It is stoutly opposed by
Major C. W. W ilson and Major H. S. Palmer, the two officers
of the Royal Engineers who conducted the ordnance survey of
the peninsula between Suez and Akaba ; and by the Rev. F.
W. Holland, author of some laborious and learned investiga¬
tions upon this subject. We are not prepared on this occasion
%o discuss the matter ; but our illustrations may be serviceable
to those disposed to examine it for themselves.

KING OF THE SANDWICH ISLANDS.

The island kingdom of Hawaii, commonly called the Sandwich
Islands in the middle of the K orth Pacihc, with its Christian
and civilised native population and its Constitutional Govern-
rnent has been more than once described m our Journal. A
portrait of the late reigning Monarch WiUiam Charles Lunaldo,
who succeeded Kamehameha V in December, 18/2, was en¬
graved for our pages; and we also gave one of the Dowager
tjueen Emma, widow of Kamehameha IV., when that lady

““C’KSsty, King Lunalilo, who died on Feb 3 this
year, was thirty-nine years of age. He was the son of Charles
Kanaina and of a lady named Kekauluhoi, belonging to the
Royal Hawaiian family. On the death of Kamehameha \ .,
leaving no heir to the throne, Lunalilo was elected King.. His
character was generous and amiable, and his mental abilities
were quite equal to those of an average European. He had
received a fair English education, and showed a certain degree
of literary talent, with a taste for reading our best poets. The
accomplishments and virtues of this Hawaiian Prince were, un¬
happily, marred by the habit of indulgence in spirituous liquors.
The early end of his career, by an attack of consumption, is
due to that unfortunate cause. His short reign has been
characterised by a desire to follow the advice of trustworthy
and judicious Ministers ; and he has bequeathod most of liis
property, reserving a life interest for his aged father, to tho
endowment of an hospital for the sick or infirm poor.

His successor, elected by the Hawaiian Legislative
Assembly on Feb. 12, is King David Kalakaua, son of the late
Hon. 0. Kapaakea and tho II gh Chieftainess Keohokalole,
both of kin to the ancient royal family. Kalakaua, who is
in the thirty-eighth year of his age, was educated, with liis
brother and sisters, at the English school of Mr. and Mrs.
Cooke, and is said to speak and write our language as well as
his own. He is an accomplished musician ; and his sister,
the wife of Governor Dominis, composed both words and
music of the Hawaiian National Hymn. The new King has
been employed as clerk in the Government offices, and as Sec¬
retary to the Privy Council ; he has also sat in the Legis¬
lative Assembly. His wife is Queen Kapiolani,
widow of the late Hon. B. Namakeha, who
was uncle to the Queen Dowager Emma.

The election of Kalakaua was vehemently
opposed by a faction, who wanted Emma to be
made the reigning Sovereign. A formidable
mob of rioters assailed the Legislative Assembly,
beat and -wounded several members, and de¬
stroyed the furniture of the building. The
Hawaiian Government was obliged to ask tho
British Consul, Major J. H.Wodehouse, and
Mr. H. A. Pierce, the American Minister resi¬
dent, for the aid of sailors and marines from
tho ships—H.M.S. Tenedos and the United
States vessels the Benicia, Tuscarora, and
Portsmouth—lying in the harbour of Honolulu.
By their assistance the riot was soon quelled,
without loss of life ; and it is hoped that King
Kalakaua may have a long, peaceful, and
prosperous reign. His younger brother, Prince
Leleihoku, is acknowledged heir presumptive,
as the King, though married twelve years
since, has no children.

The funeral of King Lunalilo, which took
place on Feb. 28, is the subject of a sketch by
Sub-Lieutenant H. J. Morgan, of H.M.S.
Tenedos, which we have engraved. The body
had lain in state at the Iolaui Palace. On the
day of the funeral the King and Queen, Prince
Leleiolioku, Queen Emma, and the chief
Ministers, nobles, courtiers, and representatives
of foreign nations, were seated around tho
coffin. This was adorned with silver plates
of heraldic and significant designs, bearing the
name of the deceased, the dates of his birth
and death, and the motto, in his native lan¬
guage, “ Righteousness is the life of the land.”
On the rich black velvet pall lay the crown,
hat, and sword of the late King. The choir
of ICawhaiahao, led by Mr. Atkinson, chanted
an opening anthem. This was followed by
reading of .Scripture and prayer. The Rev. H.
H. Parker delivered a sermon or address in
Hawaiian, urging with pathetic force the
universal topics of religious consolation and

... After the singing of another hymn, the coffin was

carried out by twelve stalwart native pall-bearers, down the
steps to tho hearse, which was in waiting. The hearse, or
more properly funeral-car, which was constructed for the occa¬
sion, and surmounted with a crown draped with crape, was
drawn by four horses, also draped, and in charge of Mr. C. B.
Williams. A little in advance of it were ranged the kahili
bearers, seventy-two in number, each bearing one of these
ancient gaudy emblems of Royalty. These kahilis are all
made of feathers, and in size vary from four to six feet in
length aud twelve to twenty inches in diameter ; they include
almost every colour, black, white, red, crimson, purple, green,
blue, and variegated shades. Some were made from tho
feathers of peacocks, tropical birds and parrots ; others from
feathers brought’ from tho guano islands; but the finest
were made of the small bright red and yellow feathers of
tho rare mountain birds of Hawaii. It was a fine sight
to see theso brilliant plumes borne on lofty pole*, and
swaying in the breeze, as the procession marched through
the streets. Meanwhile, the British and American ships of
war above mentioned sent 400 sailors and marines ashore, to do
honour to the Royal funeral. The Freemasons, Odd Fellows,
Good Templars, and other lodges joined in the procession. It
included the King and Queen, Queen Emma, Prince Leleiohoku,
Prince Kanaina, and others of the Royal family; the Bishops
and clergy, both of the Protestant and the Roman Catholic
Church ; the Ministers of State, the Governors of islands and
towns, tho Judges, the members of the Assembly and other
official persons. Having arrived at the Royal mausoleum, a
small Gothic building of stone, in Nnnanu Valley, the coffin was
there deposited in a vault, while the band played a musical dirge;
a hymn -was sung, and a prayer was offered, which closed the
proceedings. The British Royal Marines aud seamen of tho
Tenedos, with those of the American ships Benicia, Tuscarora,
and Portsmouth, formed a guard of honour, and fired a salute
before leaving the tomb.

The school board at Bradford is erecting a series of eight
schools, and the first of these was opened on Monday, but
without any ceremony. It will accommodate 500 scholars, and
has cost £14,000.

A new exchange was opened at Barrow-in-Furness on Mon¬
day. About 150 persons, representing the principal firms in
North Lancashire and Cumberland^ attended, for whose
convenience a special train was provided on tho Furness
Railway. The ceremony was performed, at one o’clock, by
Mr. J. T. Smith, Mayor of Barrow, who delivered an
appropriate speech.

that three matches have noun )>)uyed with other clubs during the past
veur. The first, on April, 10, at Worcester, when twelve tnem)>ers of the
Birmingham contended agiiinst twelve members of the Worcester Chess
Club, ihe result being a drawn buttle. At the retum-match, played in
Birmingham on -tune 2, Birmingham won by a majority of three games.
Ybe third match took place, at the room’s of the Birmingham Club,
between Stourbridge and Birmiughnin, on Dec. 18 : and, after a very
close contest, was decided in favour of the latter by a majority of one
game.

The great event of the present year is the visit of the “ Counties* Chess
Association," which is to be in August next. As an inducement for close

study of the game preparatory to this important event, arrangements have
been made for a tournament in which two prizes are offered for com¬
petition by tho club ; and for a separate tourney, to the winnor of which
the honorary secretary, Mr. 8. G. Kempson, has offered to give a prize.

At the ballot for the officers of tho ensuing year the following gentle¬
men were elected:— President, Mr. Thomas Avery”, secretary, Mr. S. G.
lvempson ; committee, Mr. Halford, Mr. Fry, Mr. Benbow, Mr. Best, and

gation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, and the Church Mis¬

Under the presidency of Mr. Edmond Beales, the Work¬
men’s Peace Association held its fourth annual meeting on
Saturday evening. The chairman declared that he looked upon
the Ashantee w ar as having been needlessly entered on, and as
being condemned both in its beginning and. termination.

In liis report on the autumn manoeuvres at Dartmoor and
Cannock Chase, the Duke of Cambridge expresses an opinion
that, from an instructional point of view, they bail not been so
successful as he could desire. He suggests a modification of
the plau hitherto pursued into a triennial series of mameuvres—
first, a camp of instruction at Aldershott; second, concentra¬
tion of troop3 on some point of the coast suitable for defence ;
third, manceuvrea on an extended scale.

A conference was held at the Mansion House, last Saturday,
under the presidency of the Lord Mayor, on the subject of
making an annual Saturday collection m workshops and fac¬
tories in London, in aid of the Hospital Sunday Fund. Besides
a large gathering of working men, Archbishop Manning, Sir
Charles TrcVelyan, Sir Sydney Waterlow, Mr. Coope, M.P.,
Mr. Jervoise .Smith, and* many gentlemen connected with the
Sunday Fund, were present. The -Sunday Fund committee
having expressed an intention to make arrangements for
a Saturday collection, some misunderstanding between that
body and the Leicester-square committee had arisen, and the
proceedings of the conference were, therefore, somewhat noisy
and discordant. A resolution in favour of making collections
ou a more extensive scale was carried, though a protest was
lodged against it aud any resolution passed at that meeting, on
the ground that working men had not had sufficient notice of
the conference. A second resolution, to the effect that the
Leicester-square committee should he requested to confer with
the Sunday Fund committee, with the object of amalgamating
the two bodies, was also carried ;*and it was resolved to elect
an independent committee of workiug men, .not connected with
tho Leicester-square organisation, to take part in the conference,

LOUDON, SATURDAY, APRIL 25, 1374.

“ A Peerage or Westminster Abbey I ” was the cele¬
brated saying .of Nelson before plunging into the Battle
of the Nile. No such aspiration, we may be sure,
ever disturbed the simple mind of Dr. LiringstoiiPj
whose mortal remains were a week ago consigned to
the tomb. Probably, if he had been consulted, ho
would have preferred to be buried ou the banks of one
of the many rivers which he has discovered in Central
Africa, and among the primitive negro races who, bai’-
barous as they are, revered him as a father, rather than
in tlie historical Abbey, which is the mausoleum of so
many British worthies, and of some unworthies. But the
public funeral of Saturday last, if not quite in harm my
with the antecedents of the great explorer, w<u a
becoming national tribute of respect to a man whoso
life was one long service to the cause of missionary
enterprise, practical philanthropy, aud scientific
discovery. His name and achievements were a
talisman that gathered within the walls of the venerable
Abbey a throng of mourners as unique and diverse as
was ever collected around an open grave. Amid that
distinguished assemblage, besides his immediate relative*,
were statesmen who co-operated in realising liis philan¬
thropic aims; explorers who liad shared with him the
perils of the African wilds ; missionaries who had male
light of suffering and privation in seeking to Christianise
the aboriginal races ; hunters who had been liis close
companions in the solitude of the bush; clergymen who,
with him, sought to establish a Zambesi mission ; Non¬
conformist ministers and laymen with whom ho wav
identified in the earlier part of his career; and a miscel¬
laneous host of admirers, who represented the general
sentiment of the nation. Such demonstrations, if some¬
what pompous, can never be untimely or incongruous,
for they help to elevate public feeling, to smooth down
sectional asperities, and, above all, to fix attention more
prominently upon the illustrious dead whose

Lives reminil ua
We can make our lives sublime.

David Livingstone was pre-eminently a man of this
type—one of those almost ideal characters which hardly
appear once in a century, and whose greatness is of a
kind that is instinctively recognised by the force of sym¬
pathy, without the need of analysis or laboured eulogy.
The unwavering faith of the Christian missionary, the
ardour of the enterprising explorer, and the sagacity of
the practical philanthropist are rarely to bo found in the
same person. But they were harmoniously blended
in Dr. Livingstone, combined with a child-like sim¬
plicity, an intuitive knowledge of character, a tenacity
of purpose that nothing could shake, aud a single¬
ness of aim to which circumstances were made in¬
exorably to bend. In electing to be rather the pioneer
of Christianity and commerce in Africa than a local
missionary, we have evidence of his range of vision, of
his carelessness of immediate results, and of hi * entire
conviction that he had a work to do which none else
could accomplish. To discover the unknown regions of
Central Africa, and solve great geographical problems,
was in itself an honourable ambition. With him it was
only a means to an end. Dr. Livingstone cared little for
such exploits in comparison with Iris noble aspiration of
opening that continent to the light of religion and
civilisation, and extirpating the slave trade, which is the
main hindrance to that beneficent consummation. This
clone, or clone in part, his life work would be accom-

plitlied. It was for him to open a pathway through the
wilderness, along which others might advance and reap
the fruits of his arduous labour.

The career of a man so enthusiastic, single-minded,
and irrepressible, while to himself one of life-long hard¬
ship and perils, of strenuous effort and constant dis¬
couragement, is to all the rest of the world a fascinating
romance. The imagination is spell-bound in following
Dr. Livingstone from the mission station at Kuruman
across the terrible and supposed impassable desert of
Kalahari, beyond which the explorer discovered, in
regions then represented by a blank on the map of Africa,
w ell-watered lands, a fertile soil, and races hitherto uu-
known to the outer world ; then across Central Africa to
Loando, and back again from the western to the eastern
coast. Amid these tribes, all barbarous and some savage,
he passed unmolested with a body-guard of native
adherents—his moral influence, courteous and respectful
demeanour, and lack of self-seeking, being his best pass¬
port to the confidence of the negro tribes, and these
tribes only became troublesome when he came upon the
ti ail of the slave-dealers who had carried fire and sword
into these primitive communities.

Dr. Livingstone had already rearranged the map of
Africa, and, as it were, discovered a new world. But
that was not enough. His weather-beaten frame de¬
manded rest, and the tics of kindred at home were
strong ; but he must complete his mission. Once again
he plunged with his devoted followers into the heart of
tjiat continent in a more northerly direction, "with a view*
to solve the grand problem of tho sources of the Nile,
and for several years was lost to sight. At present the
particulars of his last journeys and discoveries are frag¬
mentary : but this lonely traveller, who for years saw no
white face till Mr. Stanley tracked him out, was
able, by means of a few scraps of information and
stirring appeals, so to move the heart of England
that the detestable slave trade, which has desolated the
country, received its death-blow. Once again Dr.
Livingstone was left to his solitude, and at leugth fell a
victim to his exploring zeal, ignorant that the great work
was wellmgk accomplished by Sir Bartle Frere, which he
had been the means of initiat ing by means of the treaty
with the Sultan of Zan zibar. If * is nearly a year ago
that, exhausted with the hardships of travel, he patheti¬
cally enjoined his faithful native adherents, “ Build mo a
hut to die in. I am going home ?5 — and there, at Ilala,
he slept the sleep of the just. His lifeless body was
conveyed during many months of a toilsome and
dangerous journey a distance of more than a thousand
miles to the coast, by his humble body-guard, one and
all liberated slaves—a grander and more touching me¬
mento of the great missionary explorer than any tomb
which can be raised in his honour in Westminster Abbey.
The devoted heroism of his followers was worthy of the
chief they served.

The time seems to be near at hand when the vast
continent of Africa will have yielded up all her secrets,
vhen the traffic in flesh and blood which has depopulated
the negro race will he as much a tradition on the east
ccast as on the west, ancl when the highway will be open
by which the missionary and trader may obtain access to
. its fertile plains and highlands to carry the blessings of
Christianity, civilisation, and commerce into the remotest
districts of the continent. With this grand achievement
the name of Livingstone will bo ever associated. Though
he has had worthy coadjutors in Grant, Speke, Baker,
and other explorers, the work of opening Africa is mainly
the outcome of his faith, his sagacity, his perseverance,
his hardships, and his sufferings. He has, moreover,
bequeathed to his countrymen—to the whole world—the
legacy of an entire life of self-devotion, single in its aim,
perfect in its completeness, and sublime in its grandeur,
which will incite to self-sacrifice and enthusiasm as long
as the record of his character and labours survives.

I circumstances and position of the country were favourable for
directing public attention to unexciting but useful measures
of social improvement.

“ LE BAG JAPONAI3.”

There is a good story, which ha3 been told, but is worth telling
again. Three artists were commissioned to paint a carnal. Tao
first was an Englislunan, the second was a French mm, tho
third was a German. Mr. John Brusliby looked into Murray's
and Bradshaw’s “Guides,” then took his passage by the
Peninsular and Oriental line to Egypt, and spsufc four m naS is
in a tour of inspection, carefully noting and comparing the
features of all tho different breeds of camels he could fill
really existing in the East. Monsieur Napoleon Chic, after
a gay convivial dejeuner at the best restaurant on the
Boulevards, strolled to the Jardin des Plantes, having a cigar
and a bon mot alternately between lii3 lips, to disouss with a
brother artist tho salient points of that particular catnil, the
very pick and pink of all camels in the universe, which had the
honour to figure in the zoological collection of Paris. Herr
Kunst-Magister von Gruud-Begriff, for his part, having seen
live, camels in his Wander-Jahro, aud many pictured or
sculptured delineations thereof, in his visits to the art-museums
of Europe, now shut himself up with a pilo of books, ancient
and modern, containing descriptions of the camel, its ana¬
tomical structure, and its significant part in the history
of civilisation. After these studies he would smoke a
pound of strong kanaster, and silently “develop the Idea
of the Camel out of his Internal Consciousness ! ” We arc
told, in the original story, what result was obtained
and in what space of time, by each of the three artists. T n •

E icture entitled “Le Bac Japonais,” which we
y permission of Messrs. Goupil and Co. from a photograph of
their publication, is the work of a clever French artist, M.
Lenoir. It is an elegant design, representing a very attractive
performance and an agreeable scene. Our readers, we hope,
will enjoy its high artistic merits of conception and exe¬
cution, "without inquiring whether this is really the ordinary
mode of conveyance across a river or an inlot of the sea
in Japan. We have never yet received from Mr. Wirgman,
our correspondent at Yokohama during mauy yeara pais, or
from Mr. Simpson, who visited several Japanese towns aul
provinces on his way home from the Imperial wedding at Pekin,
any sketch of this kind of ferry. But we could well fancy, in
the heyday of ingenious festivities at the French capital a few
years ago, that there might have been a Fete Japonausz in some
park or public garden with a piece of water, displaying tho
superb voyage of a Princess Oho-na-kara-mejitaro, the destined
bride of the celestial Mikado, drawu^by a team of s wifely-
swimming Damios, tho proudest nobles of tho empire, le 1 by
the Tycoon himself, across that placid lake. It is a very
pretty scene, and we arc much obliged to the Artist.

THE LATE BISHOP PATTESON.

The death of the Right Rev. John Coleridge Patteson, Mis*
sionary Bishop of the Church of England in the South Sea
Islands, by tho rash and misguided violence of those ho had
laboured to save and to bless, was the martyrdom of a Christian
hero. Such an example, though at first sight discouraging, is
yet, to all who have any faith in moral principle or Divine
Providence, a sure pledge of the better life for mankind in
future. The natives of the sequestered island, in the .Santa
Cruz group, where he was killed instantly on landing tii :re,
had been exasperated by the cruel outrages inflicted upon them
by kidnappers and slave-traders of English race. They did not
know that Bishop Patteson had been striving for years to move
the British and the Australian Governments to put a stop to
those atrocious practices, against which tho voice of English
social opinion is still raised iu vain. The kidnappers had some¬
times approached their prey in the disguise of missionary clergy¬
men ; so these poor savages, who mistook their truest and
boldest friend for one of their dreaded persecutors, mob him
and killed him on the beach. After that, one would say, the
entire suppression of the South Pacific Blavo trade should be
merely a question of the shortest time and tli3 nnsfc
effective maimer. If thi3 were not so to be, let Tithe
British Empire and the Church of England shut up shop for
shame ; they might be expected to do likewise for consistency's
sake, if the East African slave trade were ever allowed to
revive, after Livingstone’s funeral last week. But this question
will come up again, with that of the annexation of the Fiji
islands. For Bishop Patteson’s life and death, very worthy to
be studied, we refer to Miss Y r onge ? s lately-published bio¬
graphical work. He was a son of the late Sir J. Patteson, one
of our Judges, and a cousin of Lord Coleridge, Chief J ustico.
A monument has lately been put up in Christ Church, Sydney,
from the design by Mr. E. T. Placket, architect, with a
recumbent marble figure by Mr. H. Apperley, sculptor, of
that city. The cost was defrayed by a subscription, to which.
Miss Betts and the Rev. P. R. Bailey were the foremost con¬
tributors. Here in England a memorial pillar of red brick aud
stone lias been erected by Lord Coleridge to the memory of
Bishop Patteson, near the district church which he formerly
served. It is at the cross or meeting of four roads in the parish
of Ottery St. Mary, Devon, where both the Coleridge and the
Patteson families have long resided.

THE HIGH TIDE IN THE THAMES.

The extraordinary rising of the tido, predicted to occur on the
Friday night and on the Saturday afternoon of last week, did
not amount to a great local disaster. It was checked by a
wind from the south-west blowing down the river, and only a
little exceeded the height which an ordinary spring tide has
reached upon some former occasions. Many of the owners and
occupiers of riverside premises, however, in the districts of
Bankside, Lambeth, Vauxhall, Nine El m3, and Battersea, had
made great preparations to keep out the expected flood,
by fixing planks, fronted with layers of clay, and other sup¬
posed effectual barriers, across doorways, at tho ends of lanes
and alleys, and over the cellar gratings. The norbh-easterly
wind, continuing till the Friday afternoon, had really justified
the apprehensions so far entertained : but, in the evening of
that day, the wind fortunately changed. Still, many families
had removed their furniture for safety, and many did not care
to go to bod that night. The scene next day on the South
Embankment and at the bridges up the river was somewhat
unusual, but scarcely alarming. Our Illustration shows the
appearance of the rising waters at Battersea Bridge.

Franz Liszt, the pmuist, has (according to the Eas'y-ni
Budget) left his whole collection of curiosities, works of art,
&c., valued at 400,000 fl., to the Hungarian nation. Among the
curiosities are Beethoven’s American piano, Haydn’s and
Mozart’s harpsichords, and a number of decorations and other
articles presented to Liszt by his admirers,

COLONEL FESTING-, C.B.

The beginning of our late war on the Gold Coast was in June,
last year, when the Ash an tee army, led by Amanquatia, had
overrun the country under the British Protectorate and
threatened Cape Coast Castle. The Administrator, Colonel
Harley, having but a thousand fighting men at his disposal,
without reckoning the natives, who could not defend them¬
selves, was obliged to limit his earlier operations to holding
seme foi tified positions near the seaport towns. The naval
squadron, -composed of the Druid corvette, the Argus sloop,
and the gun-boats ►Seagull, Merlin, and Decoy, kept the dis¬
affected villages of the coast from joining the enemy, aud lent
a few seamen and marines to garrison the forts on shore. But
on June 7 arrived from England H.M.S. Barracouta, under
command of Captain E. it. Fremantle, with 110 Royal
Marinis and Royal Marine Artillery, two mountain guus,
200 rockets, and ammunition stores. Colonel Francis
Wcrgan Testing, R.M.A., came to be in command of
the military force, which Mas further augmented by four
companies of the 2nd West India Regiment. There
was no time lost in setting the combined military aud naval
fojees in action. The circumstances are fully related in
Chapter V. of our Illustrated Narrative of the Ashantee War,
lately published under the title, “From Cape Coa3t to
Cocmassie.” It was most urgent to deprive the Ashantee army,
then encamped around Mampon, between Abrakrampa and the
river BcyaH, of its facilities for obtaining warlike stores from
Elmina. The natives of the “ King’s Town ” at Elmina, resent¬
ing their transfer from the Dutch to the English Government,
had become the active, though covert, allies of the Ashantee
invader. Some parties of Ashantee warriors had been intro¬
duced into the town, while others lurked in the adjacent bush.
To put an cpd to this danger, within nine miles of Cape Coast
Castle, it was determined by Colonel Harley that the chiefs of
Elmira should bo forced to lay down their arms. They refused
to obey the summons, and their town was consequently attacked
on the next day, which was June 13, by tli8 boats of the
rquadron, and the troons under Colonel Testing, with the aid of
Captain Fremantle. The hostile native quarter of Elrnina was
destroyed, and the enemy was expelled from that neighbour-
hoed. * In recognition of this useful service Colonel Testing has
been made a Companion of the Bath. The Bame honour has
been conferred on his naval coadjutor. Colonel Festing was
entertained by the Royal Naval Chib, at Portsmouth, a fort¬
night ago. !£N

Messrs. L-Uiott and Fry, of Baker-street.

CAPTAIN GLOVER, R.N.

Ti e uameief this distinguished officer, it will scorn to many
rcai 1 ere, should rather be written “Captain Glover, C.B.” - It
was resolved by each House of Parliament “that the thanks
of Ibis House be given to Commander Johu Hawley Glover,
R.N., for the cneTgy, courage, and ability with which, as her
Majesty*8 special Commissioner to the eastern tribes of the
Gold Const, and with the aid of the gallant officers of tho Army
and Navy, he Jed a considerable native force from the Itiver
Volta to Coomaseie, thereby largely conducing to the success of
thr main operations under the Major-General Commanding. 3 '
AN l:<ii Captain Glover, accompanied by Major Goldsworthy and
Captain Sajrtonus, landed at Liverpool on Good Friday, and
stayed two days at Manchester, they were received with high
hi-ncuts. A Ithou^h they were nobpresent at Sir Garnet WoDeley's
actual victory over the Asbautees, it is now well understood that
the fall of Coomassie, the submission of King Coffee Oalcallee, and
the milked fate return of the British troops to the aeacoast, with-
out further risk: from the climate at the beginning of the un¬
healthy season, were partly the result of Captain Glover’s
separate achievements. He is fairly entitled to a minor share
of the credit due to the Commander-in-Chief for the successful
result d the whole campaign. Captain Glover is one of a family
who have contributed much to the service of their Q ieen a‘nd
eerntry. He hrul two brothers in the Army, Captain Glover
and lieutenant Glover, of the 43rd Regiment, which was en¬
gaged in the Maori war of New Zealand tm yew3 ago. They
v no both killed on the same day, in the fatal attack on the
Gate Pah. The circumstances are related by Major-General
Alexander, in his book lately published, “ Bush-Fighting in
New Zealand.” The father of the three gallant brothers was
chaplain or minister of the English church at Cologne. Lieu¬
tenant-Commander J. H. Glover, R.N., had long been employed
m £ pedal service on the West African Coast, and had latterly
Held, under the Colonial Office, the appointment of Adminis¬
trator of Lagos. He had gained a particular ascendency
over the licraasas, the fierce lighting men of the Ljwer
N iger country, whose services it was resolved last autumn to
enlist against the Ashantees: For this purpose he received a
special commission, subordinate to that of Sir Garnet Woiseley,
with instructions to levy whatever native auxiliary forces he
could in the eastern districts of the Gold Coast territory, from
Accra to Addnh, at the mouth of the river Volta, or among the
Aquapims, the Aquamos, the Krobos, and other nations there¬
about. A very efficient staff, including Captain Goldsworthy,
Commander Lai com. Lieutenant Moore, I In., and Dr. ltowe,
with a largo quantity of military stores, a river steam boat, and
four steam-launches, was given to Captain Glover, aud he was
aided by two vessels of the squadron. He got the kings and
-chiefs of the native people to muster a large army of fighting
men on the banks ot the Volta. But when the time came for
action they all refused to march against tho kingdom of
Ashantee. Sir Garnet Woiseley then ordered Captain Glov.r
to take his faithful Houssas and Yorubas, numbering about
1L00, and make his way inland, crossing the Prali where
he best could, so as to support the main advance
cn Coomassie. This service was promptly aud skil¬
fully performed by Captain Glover, bringing up Iris guns,
rockets, and stores, across a very difficult country, in a manner
which few lificers of the land sendee could have surpassed.
He entered the Ashantee kingdom as soon as Sir Garnet did,
capturing the town of Obogo on Jan. 1C, and the important
city of Dwabin, less than twenty miles from Coomassie, in time
to dose its entrance to the defeated King. A few days later
I is force was tripled or quadrupled by the Akim and Aquapim
col tangents, rallying under Lieutenant Moore. We presume
line (an be no doubt that tho effect wa3 to bring Coffee
Gt leal lee to submission, and to secure the English troops from
denfitory attacks on their way back to Prati-su. It is pro-
I able that Captain Glover’s operations on the Volta may yet
be turned to profitable use in opening the inland navigation of
NV< fct Africa. He has, we remark, been visiting the Earl of
CmL arvon at Highclerc; and the Secretary for the Colonies
mi y lave been inclined to get some information from him with
this useful object in view.

THE LATE CAPTAIN BLAKE, R.N.

One of the most valuable lives, among officers of the Army and
Navy, lost to the public sendee and to their private friends by
the casualties of the late war on the Gold Coast, was that ol
Captain William Hans Blake. He had served with merited
distinction in all parts of the world. During the Russian \\ ar,
twenty years ago, he was in the Black Sea and in the Baltic,
as mate of the Albion and of the Duke of Wellington. Ironi
1S57 to 1S59 he was Lieutenant of the Cambrian, employed in
the China War. In 18GO he was appointed First Lieutenaufc of
the Niger, and engaged in the Maori War of New Zealand.
Here, when in command of a landing party oE seamen,
Lieutenant Blake received a most dangerous "wound. He
was shot in the breast; and a post-mortem examination has
lately found the ball lying near bis heart. For his brave con¬
duct upon this occasion, Lieutenant Blake was rewarded with
a life pension and promotion to the rank of Commander. From
1S63 to 1S65 he was in command of the Alecto, on
the South American station. He subsequently held command
of the Mu tine, in the Pacific, to I860, and of the Falcon, on the
Australian station, till his promotion to post rank as captain on
Sept. 14, 1807. In April of last year Captain Blake was
appointed to the command of H.M. S. Druid, on the We3t
African and Cape station. He rendered much assistance to
Colonel Harley, Administrator of the Gold Coast, in his pre¬
parations for the defence of Cape Coast Castle and Elmina
against the Ashantees, before the arrival of the Barracouta in
the month of June. With the rest of the naval squadron
Captain Blake’s ship and the shore parties of men under his
command were actively employed in the later operations of the
war. He joined the march to Coomassie, in command of the
Naval Brigade, with the army of Sir Garnet Woiseley, but after
conducting the sailors and marines to Prah-su, without the loss
of one man, was himself seized with dysentery, on Jan. 17, and
had to give up his charge to Commodore Hewett. Captain
Blake was brought down to Cape Coast Castle aud placed on
board the hospital-ship Victor Emmanuel, but died of exhaustion
on the 27th, highly commended and sincerely esteemed. He
was succeeded in the command of the Druid by Captain Percy
Luxmoore, C.B., second in command of the Naval Brigade.

FRANCE.

(Fiyin our CoYretymidait in Paris,)

Thursday, April 23.

The brief spring session of the departmental general councils
has passed off quietly enough. Nearly the whole of them have
entered protests against the obnoxious municipal law which
invests the Government with the right of naming the mayors,
and several have expressed their disapproval of the proposed
restriction of universal suffrage; but except at Marseilles,
where the President’s inaugural address was followed by a
Royalist manifestation, and in Corsica, where the session has
been indefinitely postponed, there have been no “ incidents ”
of importance. Prince Napoleon appears to have made a com¬
plete fiasco at Ajaccio, having futilely summoned tho
eouneillcrs to attend on three successive occasions, and been
most coldly received by the inhabitants. He has signally failed
in securing adhesions to the democratic Bonapartisfc party, of
avhich he issued the manifesto a few months ago, and by his
quanel with the ex-Em press and the Prince Imperial has
completely alienated the sympathies of the loading Imperialists.

T lie Minister of Jnatice’s recent circular in reference to the
attacks made by the Monarchical newspapers upon the
Septcnnat is already regarded as obsolete, and the Legitimist
anci Orleanist organs continue abusing the present Government
with unabated animosity. There is no doubt but that the
opinions they express are shared by the majority of tho
Royalist members of the Assembly, as recently published
letters from M. Lucien Brun, M. ^Ghesuelong’s colleague in
last autumn’s fusionist intrigues, and M. de la Rochette, the
leader of the Legitimist faction known as tho “ Light Horse,”
emphatically show. These gentlemen are loud in expressing
their disapprobation of the Governmental policy, and patro¬
nizingly tell their newspaper friends that they may fearlessly
continue their crusade against the Due de Broglie and his
colleagnes, who are powerless to enforce obedience to their
circulars.

No little sensation has been caused by the intelligence that
M. Beuld, the ex-Ministcr of the Interior, whose sudden death
was recently announced, had in reality committed suicide by
stabbing himself in the heart with a dagger. His numerous
failures as a politician appear to have preyed upon his mind, and
his physicians and friends had urgently recommended him to
travel. It is not known when he originally formed the design
of committing suicide, but the newspapers relate that on meet¬
ing an intimate friend a few days previous to his death he told
him that he was Buffering from palpitation of the heart, and
that he felt sure he should be found some morning lying dead
in his bed.

General Chanzy has at length replied to M. Creinieux’s
letter, and has done so in a bantering, ironical maimer. He
maintains that, although circumstances have compelled him to
establish a state of siege in Algeria, he lias no intention o
disavowing the Republican sentiments he frequently expressed
when taking an active part in the debates of the Assembly.
M. Creinieux, he says, thought it "was possible to ensure the
tranquillity and prosperity of Algeria by a simple decree dated
from Tours ; whereas the organisation of the colony is in
reality a task of more than ordinary magnitude. He con¬
cludes by promising that the liberal programme he laid before
the Superior Council of Algeria a few months ago shall even¬
tually be carried into effect.

A diplomatic incident has been raised apropos of a recent
pastoral letter of the Bishop of Nancy, whose diocese includes
certain parishes of the now German province of Lorraine. The
lettar in question contained injunctions to his priests to pray
for the restoration of Alsace-Lorraine to France, and was read
and placarded in both the French and German fractions of the
bishopric. Tho German Procureur of Saverne consequently
summoned the Bishop to appear before the tribunal of that
locality, and, upon his declining to do so, pressed the Court to
condemn him, by default, to three months' imprisonment in a
fortress. The Judges have, however, reserved their decision.
In the mean while the Bishop has arrived in Paris, and a diplo¬
matic correspondence is now going on, we are told, between
Due Decazes and Prince Bismarck with reference to the in¬
cident, which is by no means of a nature to improve the friendly
relations assumed to exist between Germany and Franco.

The Palis papers are busy with their comments on the cir¬
cumstances attending tho wrecks of the Europa aud the AnnL

SPAIN.

In consequence of an improvement in the weather, the ope¬
rations before Bilbao have recommenced. Ten thousand

men, under Marshal Concha, have arrived at Santoun from
Santander. They are to operate by Valmasecla, while Marshal
Serrano attacks San Pedro de Abanto. General Osballos has
begun the investment of San Sebastian and Irun. The water
supply of the latter town has been cut off, and the inhabitants
have received orders to consider themselves prisoners of war.
Ingress and egress are prohibited at Irun and San Sebastian.

ITALY.

The Senate has approved all the clauses of the Fisheries
Bill. The Chamber of Deputies continues discussing the financial

SWITZERLAND.

The popular vote on the revision of the Federal Consti¬
tution was taken on Sunday throughout Switzerland. The

Zurich, Borne, Glarus, Saleure, Basle, Schaff hausen, .Appensell
(exterior), St. Gallen, Grisons, Aargau, Thurgau, T©3sin, V’aud,

Elections were held at the same time in the Cantons of
Berne and Neufchfitel for members of the Grand Councils. In
Berne eijjhty Liberate were elected and seventy Conservatives,

The Delegations of the Austrian Reichsrafch and the Hun¬
garian Diet were opened at Pesth on Monday, The former
elected Herr Rechbauer president, while in tho Hungarian Dele¬
gation th.afc past was conferred upon M. Garove. Both pre¬
sidents, in their inaugnml speeches, laid stress upon the
necessity for exercising economy, without, however, impairing
the military power of tho empire. Subsequently Count
Andrassy presented the Budget for 1875.

The Austrian and Hungarian Delegations were received, on
Tuesday, by the Emperor at Pesth. The Austrian Delegation,
as guests in the Hungarian capital, were received first. Both
presidents, in their addresses, spoke of the economical and
financial calamities of the past year, which made strict economy
a necessity. Uia Majesty, in his reply, referred to the satis¬
factory nature of foreign relations, expressed the conviction
that new and valuable pledges of peace had been a bled lately
to the old ones, and promised that the maintenance of peace
would in future likewise constitute tho chief task of his
Government.

The second Ecclesiastical Bill, relative to the recognition of
religious associations by the State, earns on for discussion in
the Lower House of the Austrian Reichsrath last wock, and

The Norwegian Storthing has voted for the second time the
resolution that the Norwegian Ministers shall henceforth tike
part in the dobates of the Chamber. The Government would
consent to this if the Storthing would vote somo other consti¬
tutional changes which the Storthing does not desire. If tbs
resolution be voted a third time, it will, according to the Nor¬
wegian Constitution, become law without needing the consent
of the Government.

AMERICA.

The Philadelphia correspondent of the Times telegraph*
that the President has vetoed the Financial Bill ailing
100,000,000 dels, to the currency. He bases the veto onthi
ground that the bill increased the paper circulation without
providing the means of redemption. The President io hi* voto
message says the fact is undeniable that the bill increase* tho
paper circulation to 100,000,000 dols. This he believes to be
a departure from the true principles of finance. Ho earnestly
recommends legislation securing as Bpeodily as practicable »
return to specie payments, and refers to repeated Government
pledges to make provision at tho earliest practicable mmieat
for redemption of United States notes in coin, lie recoameate
that the revenue be increased sufficiently to most the current
expenditure, as a preparatory measure to the resumption of
specie payments.

known. Eleven cotton and fourteen sugar parishes have been
submerged, destroying 250,000 acres of cotton, 100,000 of corn,
and 500,000 of sugar—probably one sixth of the whole crop.

THE FAMINE IN BENGAL.

The daily telegrams from Calcutta report increased distress in
several districts of Behar, north of the Ganges, but few deaths
from actual starvation have yet been reported. There are
nearly 1,250,000 persons receiving pay on the public works,
and 116,000 others receiving ohaiitable relief. The “ circle
system,” established by Sir Richard Temple, is stated by him
to be w orking in a satisfactory manner. The quantity of grain
dispatched by the Government from Calcutta to the afllicted
districts of - the country was nearly 250,000 tons up

to the end of last week. There was a difficulty

in getting transport, from disease among tho bullocks, and
3C00 bullock-carts had been kept waiting ten days. Our Illus¬
tration of the loading of a train of carts in Bengal, for the
conveyance of grain, has some interest in connection with this
fact. The Mansion House fund for the relief of the distress in
India now amounts to £S5,000. A donation -of £500 has been
sent to the Lord Mayor by the Earl of Derby. The Committee
have sent another remittance of £‘20,000 to Calcutta, malting
£S0,0(>0 already sent from London. It is stated, in a letter
from Mr. Sohaloh, Chairman of the Executive Relief Committee
at Calcutta, that the distress will continue in some districts till
August, in others till November.

NATIONAL SPOETS.

Wc have frequently urged the necessity of a thorough reform
r r d a mere liberal policy at Newmarket. For some years past
lie programmes of the various meetings have been growing
weaker and weaker, but happily the first and second days of
tie Craven meeting are almost without parallel. Six out of
the fifteen races were reduced to walks-over, aud the remain¬
ing nine were contested by forty-seven animals, which is at
the rate of about five competitors for each race. On the
previous Saturday, at Windsor, Prince Charlie and Tangible
inn a race that will never bo forgotten by those who were
fortunate enough to witness it. The distance was five furlongs,

: nd Tangible, one of the speediest horses in England, received
Kilb. for the year. It is probable that no two animals ever
-came away from tho starting-post at suoh a terrific pace, and,
aftLT a grand struggle all the way, Prince Charlie just outstrode
bis opponent at the finish, and won by a head. He was by no
means fit, and well deserves his proud title of “ Prince of the
T.Y.C.,” for he never had his equal at a mile or under. Now,
both Prince Charlie and Tangible are trained at Newmarket,
yet they had to be sent to a small meeting like Windsor to run
this splendid race, as no sufficient inducement was offered at
heme. The fact is that owners are getting very tired of running
for their own money, and so, though there are upwards of a
thousand horses in trainingat Newmarket, the races which close
over-night ore often declared void for want of entries. We
farcy there w ould soon be a very decided change for tho better
if tic Jockey Club would appoint a clerk of tho courao of the
rim p of Messrs. VerraJI, Frail, or Merry, and allow him a fair
:n cr.i:tt f freedom cf action.

The Newnu:Jket Biennial generally produces a hue iiuish,
end this year’s race proved no exception to the rule, for the
undefeated Mbs Toto end Rovcrboration, against whom his
owner laid K0 to 1 in the course of the race, ran a dead-
lea t. Miss Toto has not grown since last year, and was so
deficient in fiesh and muscle that she will probably make
cicat improvement as the season advances, and, moreover,
Eoidham did not see Reverberation, who was running on the
-other ride of tlic course. Still there were eight horses bshind
ti e pair, and we understand that Reverberation is Admiral
Rous's Derby “tip.” We cannot, however, believe in the
victory of an animal that, on his Northampton Tunning,
ib much inferior to Qnantoek, and whose breeding, by
T hundeibolt—Golden Horn, does not read like staying over
a severe mile and a half. George Frederick, whose friends
^>till insist that he is not lialf fit, finished third; but Aquilo
ran so badly that Lord? Falmouth must have abandoned all
hope of another Kingcraft coup.

On Tuesday there was an interesting race over th e L . \ .L.
between Roquefort and Oxonian at level weights, in ■which the
former secured a clever neck victory; and the Newmarket
Handicap was the only other event w orthy of record. As is
usual in this race, a scrimmage took place, by which IWyai
George (7 at. 11 lb.) and Tichlcrnc (7 st. !) lb.) were tho chief
sufferers. At the time, however, I.ydon (7 st. lib.) had ii dear
lead, and eventually won easily by five lengths. Tomalmwk.
(7st. 51b.) was only fifth, and we should fancy a mile is his
best distance. In any case, ho did not inform eo well as
another three-year-old, Conseil (7sfc. lib.), so his Lp3om
prospects are not very cheerful. . . „ ,

A sole of blood Btock took place in Lord Stamford s pad-

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS

SKETCHES IN PARLIAMENT.

It is noticeable that the Ifomc-Hnle Irish members preserve a
steady and compact attitude, most of them being very assiduous
in their attendance in the House, while their commander-in-
chief, Mr. Butt, seems, as it were, constantly passing up and
down their lino of battle, and is always ready when the
moment comes to lead them into action. Individual members
of the body every now and then coino out on their own account,
and notably Mr. O’Donnell, who is almost the most recent
recruit, having been seated for Galway since the general elec¬
tion. lie has had some passages with two of the subordinate
officials of the Government, which served to illustrate the care¬
less insolence with which up to a certain point Sir Michael
Hicks-Bcach had chosen to treat Irish questions and Irish
members, and the faculty for smartness of repartee of Lord
George Hamilton. It is generally supposed that Home Rule
means a Parliament in Ireland ) but if so Mr. Butt is pursuing
an odd—what some people would call an Irish—that is, a
«« bull ’’-like policy. For he has introduced three measures,
which are intended to assimilate completely certain insti¬
tutions in Ireland to some of the same nature in
England. On the face of it, this would appear to be
drawing more closely together the principles of adminis¬
tration m the two, rather than separating them ; but perhaps
there is beneath all this a wily, concealed purposo, which will
ultimately eventuate in the promotion of Home Rule. The
iirst of these measures was received on the part of the Govern¬
ment by Sir Michael Hicks-Beach with something like disdain,
both ot language and manner, and he opposed it in that
forced, loud tone of voice wliich ho has lately assumed, and
which is unnatural to him j and, after a heated discussion, it
was rejected by a majority which was Conservatively con¬
clusive. Under the supposition that unequivocal and scornful
antagonism would bo preserved by the Government, by their
representative the Secretary for Ireland, towards all his measures,
Mr. Butt, in proposing his second bill, took the aggressive line,
and made a passionate speech, proclaiming with vehemence that
no Irishman, himself in particular, should with impunity bs
treated as an inferior creature, or his country as a conquered
one, which,’ by-the-by, it happens to be. He wasted a great deal
of patriotic indignation, as the result proved. For it had
occurred that, early on that evening, Sir Michael Hicks-Beach
had been on particularly high ropes with Mr. O’Callaghan, and,
being apparently in an acrid state of temper, it was only
reasonable to anticipate that he would have opposed the bill, as
it were, in a towering passion. Possibly something had come
to pass in the interval between his two appearances—some¬
thing connected with that conciliatory tone which Mr. Disraeli
has begun tow ards the Irish members, and which wa3 illus¬
trated ad abxurdum by his saying that he should be glad to
have three Irishmen as Lords of the Treasury if ho could get
them ; for, lo and behold 1 Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, with a
change o’er his spirit, in tones gentle as those of a sucking
dove, accepting, and declaring that if there was a country and
a people that lie loved (perhaps in the same way that Izaak
4\ alt on loved the worm he was impaling on liis fish-hook), it
was Ireland and the Irish. At once‘that gonerous nature
which is popularly attributed to their race asserted itself
amongst the Irish members, aud there was a chorus of effusions
of gratitude, and the whole atmosphere was charged with,
mutual blessings. It was very shocking, but there were some
people who were brutal enough to think all this very amusing,
and gome did not even have the decency to make their laughter
covert.

There is to be, after all, a •* blazing ” question before the
House this Session. It ha3 been proved to demonstration by un¬
deniable authority that we have no navy, and the new First Lord
, of the Admiralty, with emphasis and solemnity, has declared
that he will have an overwhelming and efficient one,
regardless of the expense. The development of this policy
was gradual, and in this wise. On the advent of the
Navy Estimates, Admiral Elliot, who is member for a dock¬
yard borough, and whose main, if not entire, idea is probably
to get as many men employed in the Government naval estab¬
lishments as possible," delivered as long, as dreary, as uu-
lhetorical, and inconsequent a siieeck as could well vex the ears
of hie audience; but, his pounding and floundering notwith¬
standing, he managed to convey the suggestion that it is
absolutely necessary to build more ships, and to repair those
wdiich have a crazy existence, to abandon building by private
contract, and therefore to fill the dockyards with men. In the
course of two speeches, Mr. E. J. Reed, fclio • ex-constructor of
the Navy (who, by the way, speaks exceedingly well, and
in the manner that just hits the general taste of the House),
though not exactly admitting that all our existing ironclads, for
many of w hich he is responsible, were worthless, was emphatic in
his opinion that more money must be spent on the Navy. Then
Sir John Hay, in what may he called his most frenzied manner,
spoke by the card, giving the names and condition of almost
every ship afloat, the result being that he provoked Mr. Ward
Hunt to that portentous declaration that, notwithstanding the
nn-nautical cut of his jib, while ho was First Lord of the
Admiralty lio would not have squadrons of dummies aud a
Meet upon paper only. The late Admiralty officials, Mr.
Gosehen ana Mr. Shaw-Lefevre, were passionate in their own
vindication; but their assertions amounted to no more than
this—that they had kept the Navy in as efficient a state as was
possible for the money they had to spend on it, which is bogging
the w hole question. As has been said, here is a point of de¬
parture for a hot controversy, in which, jiarties wifi be ranged
against each other—at least in debate.

The legislative efforts of private members are reduced to a
minimum, and Tuesdays and Fridays, and even Wednesdays,
arc fast becoming Parliamentary half-holidays. The cause of
this is not far to seek. With that tact which with him is a
sixth sense, Mr. Disraeli, in filling the subordinate offices in
his Ministry, selected many of those members of the Con¬
servative party who had proved their capacity for dealing with
questions by persistently bringing forward inotious or bills,
which it was said, profanely, were the emb odiments of their
crotchets, and he carefully placed them in departments
where they could by no possibility come into relation
with their pet subjects. Of course they are all silent
now r , aud a number of motions and bills for which they
were accountable will l>e hoard of no more. The Liberal
members who mounted liol>bie3 were even more numerous,
and they rode them unmercifully. But as naturally all
their legislative efforts were obnoxious to the Conservatives,
and were the cause of many controversial debates on private-
member nights, on Wednesdays in particular, in the pre¬
sence of the M i ni sterial majority they have undorgono eclip 3 o,
if not extinction. There were measures which privato Liberals
used regularly to.carry, somo through several stages, aud some
through nil their stages in the Commons, but which were
strangled while in their infantine state in the Lords, and which
regularly came up smiling year after year in the Lower House.
These have not appeared at all this Session, notable instances
being Sir Thomas Chambers’s Bill for Legalising Marriage with
a Deceased Wife’s Sister and Mr. Osborne Morgan’s Burial
Bill. Such is the state of private memberdom, especially on

the Opposition side, that the Liberals ought gratefully to ap¬
preciate Mr. Disraeli’s half-bantering saying—when he was
applied to to take up one of the few bills which has been the out¬
come of Liberal private memberdom—that *‘it would be only
courteous to reserve something for the gentlemen of the Oppo¬
sition to do.”

It maybe interesting to some persons to know that Mr.
Macdonald, the working-man member for Stafford, has de¬
livered his maiden Bpoecli. It was brief, being only prefatory
to moving for some returns connected w'ifch accidents in mines,
a subject of which he may be presumed to know something.
He was very deliberate in his utterance, clear in his statements,
and made no attempt at elocutionary flourishes, while liis
demeanour was at once manly and modest, j

PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW.

IIOUSE OF LORDS.

On the motion of the Duke of Richmond, it was resolved, yes¬
terday week, to present a humble address to the Queen in reply
to the Royal Message recommending the Hou3c to concur iu
enabling her Majesty to grant Sir G. J, Wolscley the sum of
£25,000, and to assure her Majesty that the House will cheer¬
fully concur in enabling such provision to be made.

The Archbishop of Canterbury propounded, on Monday, a
bill for the better discipline of the Church—one enabling the
episcopal authorities to deal with clergymen who may introduce
irregular practices into their services. Lord Carnarvon laid on
the table the report of the Fiji Commissioners, and said he had
no official information of the cession of the islands, aud at
present he could give no opinion as to the policy of annexation.
The Cattle Diseases (Ireland) Bill was read the second time.

On Tuesday tho Bishop of Peterborough obtained the
appointment of a Select Committee to inquire into the lau f 3
relating to patronage, simony, and exchange of benefices in the
Church of England. The Mutiny Bill ana the Marino Mutiny
Bill were read the second time.

On Thursday the Mutiny Bills were read the third time and
passed. Tho Real Propprty Limitation Bill, the Land Titles
and Transfer Bill, the Real Property (Vendors and Purchasers)
Bill, and the Local Government Provisional Orders Bill were
each read the second time.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

In the course of the preliminary business, yesterday week,
it was stated by Mr. Disraeli that M. de Lesseps could not
practically close the Suez Canal, as he had threatened, in a
moment of irritation. * The first motion ongoing into Supply—
one by Mr. B. Cochrano, urging the granting of pensions to
the families of deceased civil servants — was soon over,
having been disposed of by the Chancellor of the
Exchequer. Then Mr. Brassey made a comprehensive
speech on the Royal Naval Reserves, aud the other re¬
serves of the Navy, describing them as in a far more satisfac¬
tory condition than certain pessimists would allow, and sug¬
gesting means for their enlargement and improvement. The
policy and administration of the lato Admiralty in reference to
the reserves was effectively vindicated by Mr. Gosehen. Mr.
Norwood, who had the next motion, asking that the power of
the Unseawortfiy Ships Commission should bo extended,
so as to comprehend the question of the supply of seamen
to the mercantile marine, drew a strong picture of the
present deterioration of our mercantile sailors; bub he
added suggestions for remedying the existing state of things.
The,prevalent opinion as to the deterioration of seamen was
adopted by Mr. 0. M. Palmer, the member for North Durham.
After Sir Charles Adderloy had had Iris official say, the dis¬
cussion did not last long, and the House went into Committee
of Supply. A vote of £057,000 for the expenses of the Army
Purchase Commission was agreed to, ami afterwards about
twenty votes in class 2 (public offices) of the Civil Service
'Estimates. The remainder of the sitting was occupied chiefly
with a discussion on Mr. Butt’s bill to assimilate the municipal
franchise in Ireland to that in England, which was opposed by
Ministers, and defeated by a majority of 37.

On Monday the Mutiny and Marine Mutiny Bills having
been read the third time and passed, the stats of our dock¬
yards was discussed for some time ; a grant of £23,000 wa 3
voted, with cheers, to Sir Garnet Wolseley—Mr. Disraeli, in
moving the grant, stating that Sir Garnet had, with charac¬
teristic modesty, declined a baronetcy and an hereditary in¬
come ; the usual statement of the Navy Estimates was made by
Mr. \V ard Hunt, when the condition of the Navy generally was
debated; and the East India Annuity Funds Bill was considered
in Committee.

A .Select Committee was appointed on Tuesday to inquire
into the social and sanitary wants of the Forest of Dean ; the
Betting Bill was passed through Committee ; and the Municipal
Privileges (Ireland) Bill was read the second time, after a loir*
debate, sustained chiefly by the Irish members.

The Revenue Officers’ Disabilities Bill, introduced by Mr.
Monk, was, with the sanction of tho Government, read the
second time on Wednesday. The object of the measure is to
relieve revenue officers from the existing prohibition against
taking an active part in election proceedings. Mr. Lcpcs then
moved the second reading of the Juries Bill, the principal pro¬
posals in wliich were to extend the area from which juries were
summoned by conferring qualifications upon lodgers, and in
other Mays ; to increase the pay of common jurymen from
eight},encc to live shillings) a case: and to confer upon tho
Judge » touted power to order the trial to proceed iu the event
of the illness or death of sitting jurymen. The bill, which is
substantially the same as that introduced by the late Govern¬
ment in 1872,- was, amid a general chorus of approval, ordered
to be read the second tune. The Attornoy-Geueral, replying
to observations made during tho conversation, intimated thU
there was a possibility of the adoption of the bill as a Govern-
rnent measure. On this point ho would communicate deliai-
tivc.Iy "'J 11 * huj colleagues before the House wont into Committee
on the bill, and in any case promised tho hon. member his
coruial support. J he Conjugal Rights (Scotland) Bill having

been read the second tune, the House adjourned
T .. On Thursday, in reply to Mr. KnatchbuU-Hugessen, Mr.
Disraeli said her Majesty s Government have recommended
that a mark of distinction be conferred upon Captain Glover in
consideration of the services performed in tho Ashantse war
On the report of the Committee of Ways and Means Mr
Gladstone, m a speech of considerable length, reviewed tho pro¬
posals of tho Chancellor ot the Exchequer aud expressed his
approval of them generally. He, however, thought that when
the country could aftord it the income tax ought to be wholly
abolished. At the same tune, he thanked the Chiuiellorof
the Exchequer for his proposal to reduce that tax, considering
it a step towards entire repeal. He did not ,

which, he exhibited in liis financial policy. The Chancellor of
the Exchequer said the Government felt themselves justified in
assuming that there would be an increase in ^the Customs’
receipts, considering what had been the progress in years past.
The consumption of tobacco would, he thought, be kept
up in the ensuing year; and, from what he had seen of
the statistics of articles of consumption up to March 31,
he believed that there would be a great increase in
the imports of bacon, hams, butter, and other articles of
food. When he estimated the Customs as likely to produce
£400,COO more than they had don© last year, ho believed the
figures were ridiculously low. Turning to Excise, the chisf
articles which contributed to it were malt and spirits. As to
the former, they felt tolerably certain of its increase; and as
for spirits, although he estimated an increase of £750,000, still
the consumption of spirits had fallen off greatly since 1352.
These seemed to be an idea abroad that from what was said by
the First Lord of the Admiralty on Monday that liis right
hon. friend intended to submit a supplementary estimate
for ironclads which would take a largo sum of money, if it
would not entirely absorb the surplus. Now, whilst the Go¬
vernment were determined to put the Navy in a state of
efficiency, they did not propose to disturb the financial position
of the country; but they would stand by their estimates of
the revenue and expenditure. Mr. Gosehen, in referring to the
statement recently made by Mr. Ward Hunt, said that the
whole difference which seemod to frighten some people wa 3 a
matter of £100,000 in an annual expenditure of £10,000,000.
Mr. Jcshna Fielden proposed a resolution declaring that the malt
tax should be reduced. Mr. Storer seconded the motion.
After a jwolonged discussion, tho amendment wa3 rejected by
214 to 17. The House then went into Committee.

At a full meeting of the Victoria (Philosophical) Institute,
on Monday, at its apartments at 8, Adelplii-terrace, Mr.
Edmund W. Gosse, of the British Museum, read a paper on the
Ethical Condition of the Early Scandinavian Peoples, in which
lie illustrated tho peculiar features of the civilisation of Scan¬
dinavia in Pagan times, and showed in what salient points that
civilisation differed from the spontaneous developments of
morality in other cultivated heathen races—the Elder or
Poetic Edda of SoimunA Sigfussen being taken as tho text.

There were 2542 births and 1330 deaths registered in
London last week, the deaths being 304 below the average.
The deaths referred to diseases of the respiratory organs and
phthisis, which in the two previons weeks had been 46:> and
400 declined last week to 400, and were SI below tho average;
170 resulted from phthisis, 150 from bronchitis, and 01 from
pneumonia. There were 45 deaths from measles, IS from
scarlet fever, 7 from diphtheria, 46 from whooping cough, 23
from different forms of lever, and 15 from diarrluva. The 45
fatal cases of measles exceeded the average. Tho 23 deaths

Vice-Chancellor Hall, on Tuesday, gave judgment in the
suit brought by Baroness de Billing, whoso marriage with
Admiral Uarncgiehad been dissolved, to recover possession of
a sum of £10,000, given to her for her separate use shortly
after her marriage to her first huslmnd, but over which he still
claimed marital control. The Vice-Chancellor held that the
money w as the absolute property of Baroness de Billing, and
that Admiral Carnegie, in whose name it had been invested,
was merely a trustee for her. There would, therefore, be a
decree that the sum of £10,000, minus about £220, which hail
been paid to her, was her absolute property, and Admiral
Carnegie must pay to her interest at the rate of 4 per cent on
the fund from the time when ho ceased to pay dividends.

The School Board for London met on Wednesday, Sir Charles
Reed in the chair. Mi*. Peek’s offer of £500 for the encourage¬
ment of religious education in board schools was the subject of
a conversation, in which a wish was expressed for the con¬
sideration of the question at once. Several members, however,
objected to this, and it was stated by the Rev. B. Waugh that
a deputation from the London Board of Congregational
Ministers desired to express their views upon the subject next
Wednesday. An understanding was arrived at that the matter
should be discussed on that day. On tho motion of tho Rev.
Mr. Rodgers, the board has resolved to hold the lirat public
examination for scholarships on June 20. There aro already
six scholarships at the disposal of the board—two established a3

Mr. S. Cave, M.P., the Judge Advocate, presided on Wed¬
nesday at the twenty-seventh anniversary of the Earlswood
Asylum for Idiots, which was held at the London Tavern. In
proposing the loyal toasts, he referred to the warm interest taken
in the charity by the Queen since the lairing of the first stone by
Prince Albert, to her gift of a watch to an inmate who had
copied a drawing with much ability, and to the kindness of the
Prince of Wales in attending _a bazaar, opening a new wing, and
presiding over the festival two years ago. Subsequently giving
an interesting account of a visit to tho institution, Mr. Cave
mentioned the sensible and happy expression which provails, a
striking contrast to the poor idiot described in poetry and seen
in the streets, the adoption of the family plan, so successfully
applied to lunatics at Ghcel, and the trust reposed in the
ii.mates, who handle carpenters’ tools and kitchen utensils
with a smaller number of accidents than arise from quarrels
amci'g an equal number of outsiders. He spoke, also, of
lie strong religious and moral feeling which is developed,
a* d of the education which is imparted. The chairman urged
tl © necessity of county asylums, and testified to the iui-
pi ovability of a large proportion of idiots, some of whom at
iarlswood are of high position, and pay £200 a year, thus
benefiting their poorer fellow-creature3. About one hundred
Iz dies and gentlemen were present. The secretary, Mr.

illiam Nicholas, announced subscriptions and donations to
tl e amount of £2411, of which £814 was contributed by
L ndon bankers.

By the kindness of the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland,
tl e pupils of the Royal Normal College and Academy of Music
for the Blind, Upper Norwood, gave a concert at Stafford
He nso on W ednesday afternoon. The occasion was honoured
ly the presence of the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh,
Princess Louise, the Duke and Duchess of Argyll, tho Duke of
Westminster, and many other influential supporters of the
cause of the education of the blind. The music, which was
instrumental as well as vocal, was given with Buch skill and
ability that it was well worth listening to, even without remem¬
bering that the performers were totally blind. The performances
of this blind orchestra were not only interesting but most pathetic
and touching; and if (says the Times) we could mako our readers
see the band of sightless singers and players as they stood
ranked upon the broad staircase of the noble hall of Stafford
House, drawing forth sweet music from instruments which
they had never seen, and which they held and handled with
the peculiar tenderness and fondness with which one might
caress some delicate living thing, we do not think it would be
long before the £17,000 needed to complete tho buildings and
furniture of the college were subscribed. After the music was
over some of the musicians went through the rooms and gal¬
leries of the house in parties of three and four, holding bauds
like children, and seeming to feel the beauty that was around
them while they listened to the explanations given by the
crscn who led them. The offices of the college are at 28,

is the honorary tieasurer.

• NOVELS.

A ptory called John Fain's lH/V, by Maria Lewis (publisher,
S. Tinsley), is fresh and vigorous in conception, and there is
much interest in the plot, which we can relish the better as it
is compressed into one modest volume. Miss Lewis could nob
have told the tale more effectively in three volumes. It has
the colouring of life, and a brisk movement. The heroine 13 a
lovely and innocent young bride, to wiiom, soon after her mar¬
riage, a bitter secret concerning her parentage, and one likely
to be thought a disgrace to the husband she loves, has been
cruelly revealed by a gang of base intriguers. Wo shall not fol¬
low* their example, or rather fulfil their threat, of making public
the fact referred to, because we would rather let our readers
find it out for themselves from the book, which is quite worth
that small trouble. They need not fern*, in this instance, any
morbid and deleterious playing with a criminal situation. Both
Grace Penn am! her much-injured mother are pure women, and
true to duty. Another j>erson has been very wicked, bub that
was twenty years ago, and he is chastened by remorse on his
death-bed. As for John Fenn, liis manly character and
generous behaviour throughout this distressing affair must be
considered almost to deserve the possession of such a charmiug
little wife.

There is reason, unfortunately, to believe that scoundrels
who may do themselves tho pleasure of reading Lady J/crc-
loun's Daughter , by Mrs. Eiloarfc (Henry S. King and Co.), will
feel very considerably elated at the fate which befalls a certain
young gentleman, for whom something nasty ought decidedly
to have been reserved. No conscientious scoundrel could pos¬
sibly complain that he w T as not treated as well as lie deserved
when tlio poor lady whom ho lia3 Focussed and brought to
the brink of marriage dins suddenly on tho very eve of tho
wedding and leaves him all her large property. It is true that
ho was defeated in the attempt he afterwards made to ran
away with another man’s wife ; but no scoundrel worthy of
tho name would take that much to heart when ho con¬
sidered that liis wealth was still left to him, and that—
if so common a saying may be applied to the worshipful
company of married women — there are as good fish
in the sea as ever came out of it. On tho other haul,
the noble young man of the stoiy will hardly come up to the
standard of his own sex, whatever tho fairer sex may think of
his behaviour ; for he who, in the contest for a lady’s hand,
tries to promote his own suit by the unmanly process of plead¬
ing a rival’s bad disposition, would be not unjustly described
as a “skunk.” Unless, indeed, it bo seriously maintained that
all is fair in love and war. Nor can the noble* young man be
entirely acquitted of blame in that he practised deception “all
for the beat.” Married ladies will learn from the story what
ill effects may result from giving way to the desire, however
natural, of running away from their husbands and children
with other gontlcmeu ; for though, in the particular case under
consideration, the only alternative suggested is suicide, and
though, for tins once, all comes pretty right in the end, it is
quite clear that the consequences might have beeu fearful, and
that tho sins of mothers may be visited upon daughters to a
most deplorable extent. The tale is written in a broad, free,
vigorous style ; and there is many a telling stroke of eliaractcr-
diawing as well as more than one effective situation.

The apparently inexhaustible mine of bigamy is worked, not
without ciiect, in Too Late , by Mrs. Newman (Henry S. King
and Co.). Who or what is “too late” cannot be stated with
perfect confidence ; but the words aro believed to be intimately
connected with the remorse felt by an old lady who, had
time and paralysis allowed lier to follow the promptings
of lier belter feelings, would have made reparation for the in¬
justice she had perpetrated towards her nephew. _ That
nephew, however, is not likely to find much favour in the
eyes of right-minded readers, for, from the moment when
l»e seems to have jumped out of the frying-pan into the fire—
that is to say, consoled himself for the lo3s of one young
woman below him in position by marrying another young
woman of still lower social status—lie is treated with a delicate
attention to which no qualities of his own can be said to
have clearly entitled him, and for which he appear^ to have
been indebted solely to the author’s caprice. Bat this is, no
doubt, quite in accordance with one’s experience of real life,
wherein he whom the Ladies delight to honour is so often—un¬
less, indeed, he w ear a military or a naval or a clerical uniform,
which is, of course, a sufficient and satisfactory explanation—
somebody in whom it is difficult for hia own sex to “see
anything.” The character of tho girl who, at the cud,
is visited with so terrible a punishment is, at the beginning,
artistically, though not too obviously, foreshadowed, and
is never, as the tale froceeds, lost sight of; and admirable are
the few sketches given of the potty, spiteful, aggravating way
in which lovely woman will sometimes stoop to speak and act.

Double bigamy is the burden of “Ursula’s narrative,” as
told, with all a practised and successful story-teller’s command
of resources, in the volume entitled Lady Hester, by Charlotte
M. Yon go (Macmillan and Co.) Of the many thousands who,
it is to be presumed, will peruse the narrative, there will be
very few, it may be safely predicted, who will not come to tho
conclusion that, unless you are very anxious indeed to believe
that your husband or your w r ife is dead, you should not trust
to the investigations and report of any third party, however con¬
scientious and diligent and credible, but should personally
scour land and sea, or, at any rate, take care that advertise¬
ments are inserted in all the principal newspapers of all
countries, with tho addition of the familiar request, “Other
newspapers please copy.” If these precautions be taken and
an intimation be at the same time given that the person sought
for “will hear of something to his (or her) advantage,”
it is loDg odds that, within a twelvemonth, some traco will
be discovered of the missing husband or wife, if he or she 1)3
living in any part of England or America. But things were dif¬
ferent at the date of the double bigamy committed in Ursula's
narrative. The consequent complications were frightful. We
all know that a temporary embarrassment was created in the
case of so humble an individual as Jack Robinson when a fair
creature was too credulous of hearsay ; bub the embarrassments
are evidently increased a thousandfold when a reputed widow
and a reputed widower both marry again, the latter more than
once, after they, have become father and mother of a daughter
w hese ton may be the heir to titles or estates or both. The
narrative, which is almost more painful than interesting,
contains an original, and probably a correct, study of a certain
type of womanly nature ; but it is a type w r hieh, notwithstand¬
ing the beautiful conversion effected, one ivould be sorry to see
on the increase in a Christian country. As a reasonable being,
at any late before he left his own country, the palm must bo
awarded to Joel Lea, the backwoodsman.

Tower, eloquence, and origiuality characterise Nathaniel
Vaughan , Priest and Man, by Frcderika Macdonald (Hurst and
Blackett), to a degree very unusual among modern novel?.
The subject is accurately indicated by the title ; it is the con¬
flict of the ascetic theory of life, impersonated in the austere

vicar of a small country parish, with pure, gonial human
feeling, represented by the innocent and beautiful girl who,
involuntarily, and sorely against his will, effects the conquest
of his heart. The issue is tragic : Nathaniel Vaughan’s theory
breaks down, and he conceals his remorse and anguish in a
Trappist convent. The shipwreck of a noble nature lias seldom
been more tragically portrayed; while the paiiifulneas of the
situation is relieved by the exquisite attractiveness and ulti¬
mate felicity of the heroine, and the humour of the sceuc3 of
village life. Apart from its literary merits, the book possesses
especial interest at present from its intimate connection with
two of the leading questions of the day—ritualism and tho
revolt of the agricultural labourers. The forlorn condition of tho
peasantry in the south of England and the insufficiency of
mere philanthropy for its relief arc set forth with extra¬
ordinary power.

A wolf iu sheep’s clothing, a work of semi-philosophical
fiction in three bright blue volumes suggestive of the ordinary
novel, has crept into the novelistic flock : it U called Annals
of the Twenty-ninth Century (Samuel Tinsley). No author
stands confessed upon the titlepage. “ If tho contents please
thee, and be for thy use, suppose tho Man in the Moon or
w r hom thou wilt to be the author,” is the exhortation addressed
to the reader. The fonn of writing is autobiographical; and
what is recorded is the imaginary experiences of one Diogenes
Milton, who “was bom in the year of Our Lord, July 4fch,
2776.” Tho drift of tho book wdl be at once perceived ; tho
book itself belonging to tho category of those of which “ Tho
Coming Race ” was tho precursor. Tho miracles which will in
tfcc course of ten centuries have been accomplished by tho
advancement of science and tho development of the human
mind are tho author’s chief themo ; tho person whose
autobiography is supposed to bo set forth m the three
volumes being described as “the tenth President of tho
World-Republic.” One of the peculiarities most observable
in the work is the nomenclature : a combination of two well-
known names is bestowed upon tho celebrities of the future, so
that the subject of the autobiography is dubbed Diogenes
Milton; a great political authority Cobdeu Bright ; an astro¬
nomical teacher or professor or genius, Copernicus Galileo ; and
soon. Of course opportunity is given, and it is Seized with
avidity, for expressing strong opinions about tho shortsighted¬
ness of our own day and the objectionable nature of our present
habits, manners, customs, and institutions ; and a great many
truths, not to say truisms, are uttered. The progress that the
human race will have made at tho date of the twenty-
ninth century may bo faintly inferred from a statement
to the effect that Diogenes ’ Milton, having paid a visit
to the planet Mars, and “just circura - journeyed its
realms,” receives a “ steilo-gram ” recalling him, and is
immediately “ re-fired by special bomb to tho world.”
Diogenes Milton is particularly hard upon smokers, whom ho
describes as “semi-barbarians,” who make “ their mouths tho
bellows to puff in and out the noxious smoko of a certain weed,
the eficct of which was to divert the flow of saliva from tho
stomach to a spit-box.” On the whole, there is much amuse¬
ment, even if there be emali profit, to be derived from tho
hook ; though a few pages at a time will be fouud about as
much os ordinary faculties can undergo with impunity.

A brisk, dashing, vigorous novel, with plenty of life and
action, is Broken Bonds , by Hawley Smart (Hurst and
Blackett). A heartrending catastrophe—so heartrending that
one stands aghast at the callousness of novelists who can doom
to arbitraly destruction their sw eetest characters, is cleverly
led up to and powerfully described. The incident upon w hich
the greatest and, perhaqos it may be considered, a dispropor¬
tionately large amount of descriptive talent i3 expended is
calculated to make the reader bristle with excitement and
expectation, produced, however, by no objectionable arts, but
by perfectly honest and legitimate means. If the author be
oqen to any sort of reproach, it is because he provokes us to
sympathise with a most wilful and inexcusable burglar and
to heave a sigh of regret when the consummate but higlily
amusing rascal fails to secure his audacious escape. To tho
author, moreover, must be ascribed the credit, so far as it
gees, of having restored the drunken sailor to his olden standing
amongst humorous characters; and even the light-hearted,
rollicking, blundering Iiishman, who might well have been
supposed to have had every particle of life and fun squeezed
out of him by romance-writers, is resuscitated with astonishing
success. Whether any object be gained by constantly harp¬
ing upon the hero’s expensive but harmless peculiarity, which
was to wear kid gloves at all times and under all circum¬
stances, it is hardly worth while to dispute; but it is quite
ceitain that, altogether, a better sustained and a more readable
novel has not lately appeared amongst the nnilttiudinous off¬
spring of fiction.

SOUTH AFBIOAN SKETCHES.

Our Artist in South Africa, Mr. Thomas Baines, F.G.S., sonds
us a sketch of an incident that took place in the journey of liis
party to the newly discovered gold-fields. It was the common
practice of tho officers of the party to walk on some distance
ahead of the waggons, “prospecting for gold," as it is coilod,
on each side of the road. On one of these occasions, Mr.
Nelson, the indefatigable mineralogist, w r as in advance of the
rest, w hen he met with the adventure so well illustrated by
Mr. Baines. Happily, the lion, having a very substantial meal
before him, contented himself with a warning growl aud left
tho worthy mineralogist to pursue liis way in peace. The lion
of South Africa, however, is not the formidable beast described
by travellers as infesting the jungles on the frontier of Algeria.

The Engraving, last week, of a picturo by M. Bonif.r/J,
called “Nina,” was from a jfiiotogTaph published by the Berlin
Photographic Company.

The Esquimaux returned to Dundee from the seal fishery
on Wednesday. She has upwards of 10,000 seals, calculated
to yield 130 tuns of oil.

A serious accident occurred on Wednesday at Oakham, on
the Midland Railway. The 12.50 passenger train from
Leicester, when entering the station, was run into by a
mineral train which was shunting, and some of the carriages
were smashed. {Several passengers were injured, and two,
it is feared, fatally.

The annual spring show of the Royal Dublin Society, which
was opened on Tuesday, was one of the largest ever held.
There were over 22S bulls entered, of which 100 were short¬
horns. The ether cattle numbered 120 head. The display of
machinery and agricultural implements was unusually large and
fine. The Chalioner Plate, valued at £155, has been awarded
to Major Myles O’Reilly, of Knock Abbey, Dundalk, with his
Richard 11. shorthorn bull. The Lord lieutenant, accom¬
panied by a numerous party, visited the ground on Wednesday,
*nd was received by the council of the society. The Duke of
Abcrcoj n w r as then presented with an address from the members
of the Bccidy.

natives of

UGOGO.

The readers of Mr. H. M.
Stanley’8 book, relating
his journey from the East
Coast of Africa to the
shores of Lake Tangan¬
yika in search of Dr.
Livingstone, must be
familiar with Ugogo, as
the name of a country,
and Wagogo, the name
of its people. This is
one of the provinces tra¬
versed by tho ordinary
path of Arab traffic from
the coast opposite Zan¬
zibar to the interior, in
the direction of Unyan-
yembe and Ujiji. It was
visited by Captains Bur¬
ton and Speke in 1867,
and by Colonel Grant,
with Captain Speke, not
long afterwards. Our
portraits of some of the
natives, showing their
grotesque fashions of
hairdressing, are from
sketches by Lieutenant
Cameron, R.N., com¬
mander of the recent
Livingstone Search and
Relief Expedition.

The Ugogo country ex¬
tends west of Usagara
to llyanzi. It is about
eighty miles broad and
one hundred miles in
length. Its chief towns
or villages are Mbumi,
Matamhum, Khonko, and
Kiwych. The Mgogo
(this is the singular form
of the plural name Wa¬
gogo, and denotes an in¬
dividual of that nation) is
a well-formed, robust man,
with skin of a rich dark
brown colour. His face
is broad, and has in front
almost a leonine aspect.
The eyes are large and
round, the nose Hat, and
the mouth large, but the
lips arc not monstrously
thick. A warrior of this
race carries a bow and
sheaf of arrows, barbed
or pronged ; a couple of
light javelins, and a broad-
bfided spear, battle-axe,
or club, with an oval
Bhiela of rhinoceros or
elephant hide, painted
black and white. His
full costume, as a chief,

includes a crimson robo
and a head - dress of
ostrich or eagle feathers.
Tho houses of this
people are built of mud
and wattlo; the apart¬
ments inclose a quad¬
rangle, into which all
their doors open. Their
flat roofs of clay, spread
upon a framework of
wooden rafters and laths,
are used for the storage
of grain, pumpkins, and
other provisions. The
open space within this
tembo, as the range of
buildings is called, is occu¬
pied by cattle, goats, and
fowls. The ruler of the
nation is called the mtemi,
and the aristocracy of
chiefs are tho mouya-
para. Their leader, the
msagira, is next to tho
mtemi, assisting in tho
government as prime
minister. The Wagogo
levy tolls, or honga, con¬
sisting of pieces of cloth,
from every trader or other
foreign traveller. When
their demands are satisfied
they are peaceable and
friendly to strangers.

SKETCHES AT
COOMASSIE.

Our Special Artist with
the late British military
expedition against the
capital of the Ashantees
has furnished to this
week’s publication several
characteristic sketches of
what he saw at Coomassie.
One represents the horrible
place adjoining the city
market, where the dead
bodies of hundreds of
human victims, slaugh¬
tered by the atrocious
customs of the Ashantee
kingdom, are thrown to
lie unburied, or t<* be de¬
voured by panthers, wild
dogs, and carnivorous
birds. This hideous fea¬
ture of the Ashantee
metropolis was described
by Mr. Bowdich, and by
tho Rev. T. Freeman,
when they visited C Jo¬
in as si e ; and the reality
was found by the officers
and soldiers of our expe¬
dition, in February last,

quite equal to the description given by those
travellers many years ago. The pilaee of
King Coffee Calcallee is shown in another ot
our Artist’s sketches, looking from the east.
It is the only building at Coomasaio partly con¬
structed of stone and having two stories. The
leaves strewn on the ground in front, and the
sticks, pots, and pans, are all fetish, .to keei> out
intruders or ill luck. So is the white piece of
sheeting, with a straw hat, slung between two
poles under a thatched canopy. The upp-r
rooms were filled with an oddly mixed col-
lection of furniture, ornaments, and nick-
nacks, some of European, some of native
African, some of Arab or Moorish manu¬
facture. In the King’s bed-room, at opposite
sides, were two beds; one, upon a trench
tent bedstead, was appropriated to his Mftj e3ty s
use : the other, on the floor level, belonged to
his principal wife. These .articles of household
furniture are shown in the engraving* on an¬
other pago. The bed-room is hung all round
with blue striped calico. The floor is of clay,
painted bright red, but with several low hat-
sliaped mounds, which Are white, designed a3
fetish memorials of deceased Kings and Princes
of the Royal family. The King’s two swords
aro shown leaning against the bed. One of
these, that on the loft hand, is the one pre¬
sented to him by Mr. Pope Jdenncssy, for her
Majesty Queen Victoria, about two. years ago.
fc>ir Garnet Wolseley has brought it home, to
England. The rods and whips, hanging
against the wall, were used by Coffee Calcallee
to chastise his slaves.

MEMORIAL OF BISHOP WILBER FORCE.

BUBCKHABDT’s TOMB AT CAIRO.

THE AEROPHORE.

After an explosion of “fire¬
damp,” the intlammable gas
in a coal-mine, it often hap¬
pens that men confined in the
underground passages are suf¬
focated by the “choke damp, ”
or carbonic acid gas, which
usually follows such an ex¬
plosion. To enter those pas¬
sages for the purpose of
rescuing the persons in danger
is a service commonly at¬
tended with several hours’
delay. Au apparatus of
French invention has lately
been exhibited in the col¬
lieries at Wigan, which is
designed to enable men,
where there is danger from
any bad gas, to walk through
and even carry a light, with
perfect safety. It is on the
same principle as the diver's
helmet and air-tube used for
going about under w’ater.
The inventor is M. Denay-
rouze, a French engineer,
who has improved on the
apparatus devised by M.
Kouquayrol ten years ago.
There are two forms of tne
aerophore, as it is called, one
with low-pressure action, the
other with high pressure. An
air-pump, or rather an air-
condensing machine, is used
to dharge a number of

THE AEROPHORE, FOR EXPLORING DANGEROUS MINES.

portable cylinders with com¬
pressed air, which may be
made of a density twenty
or thirty times as great
as that of the atmos¬
phere, but tli is is never
wanted in practice. The air
in the machine is cooled and
condensed by l>eing forced
through two layers of water,
between which it is held
inclosed. The portable
cylinders, when filled with
this condensed air, are sent
down into the mine, with
the men who are to use tho
air. Each man wears a
mouthpiece, with a tubo of
vulcanised indiarubber, kept
open by spiral wire, which
communicates with the re¬
servoir of air. But ho could
not endure to have the com¬
pressed air pass at once into
his mouth and lungs. The
air is therefore made first to
pass through a regulator,
which the man carries on his
back. This regulator, the
most essential novelty of the
invention, as completed by
M. Denayrouzc, weighs only
8 lb. It is a vessel with an
upper and a lower compart¬
ment. The lower, which is
the larger compartment, holds
the condensed air, as supplied
from the reservoir at tho
further end of the tubo. It

communicates with tho upper compartment, and so with
the mouth*tube worn by the man to breathe the air, by
means of a valve opening and closing in a cylinder with
a piston rod ascending or descending. This is so adjusted that
the action of the piston, and of tho valve, depends on the man’s
breath at every draught of air inhaled by him. A smaller
regulator, combined with the one for breathing air, is contrived
for the air to be supplied to a lamp which the man carries with
him, and which is like an ordinary safety-lamp in other respects.
By means of the combined breath and lamp regulators, with
the mouthpiece held between his teeth, a nose-piece closing
his nostrils, and goggle spectacles, with expanding rims, serving
to shield his eyes from injurious vapours, the man walks freely
and safely through the most noxious compounds of sub¬
terranean gases. The office of Messrs. Denayrouze, and of
Mr. R. Applegarth, their London agent, is at 63, Queen-
8trcct, Cannon-street.

THE LATE BISHOP WILBERFORCE.

A memorial cross has been erected at Evershed’s Rough, near
Dorking, on the spot where the late Bishop of Winchester, the
accomplished Dr. Samuel Wilberforce, was killed by a fall
from Ins horse, while riding with Earl Granville. The cross is
a monolith of granite, 10 ft. high, upon a sunk mass of con¬
crete 5 ft. deep and 10 ft. square. The inscription is the date
of the Bishop’s death, with no ornament but a bishop’s
pastoral staff across the initial letters of the name, and a
lioreated cross above. The sculptor is Mr. Gilliam, of
Dorking. The cost of this monument has been defrayed by
the late Bishop’s family.

THE LATE AIR. ALBERT WAY.

This gentleman, one of the most devoted and accomplished
students of antiquarian learning, who died at Cannes on the
22nd ult., was highly esteemed among tho British and foreign
archaeologists of our timo. lie was a son of tho Rev. Lesvis
Way, an evangelical clergyman residing in Paris, who estab¬
lished the English Protestant chapel in the Rue Marboeuf. Mr.
Albert Way was employed from 1843 to 1846, as Director of the
Society of Antiquaries, in compiling a catalogue of its museum
and in other kindred labours. In 1844 he gave a new impetus
to these studies by the formation of the Archaeological Institute)
of Great Britain and Ireland. Its annual meetings in different
provincial towns have for many years occupied a position in the
archseological world analogous to those of the British Associa¬
tion in the scientific world. The local antiquities of each
district have, in turn, derived permanent illustration from the
dissertations delivered on the spot by such men as Professor
Willis, Dr. Guest, Mr. Freeman, and Mr. Parker, as well as
from tho interest taken in them by the gentry and clergy of tho
several neighbourhoods. Mr. Way’s own services to arch neology
were far beyond what might have been gathered from his pub¬
lished contributions, numerous and valuable as they were, to
the current antiquarian periodicals, or from tho laborious
editions which he undertook of the works of others. Even
after his ill-health compelled him to retire from his official con¬
nection with the Institute, he still freely lent to every com¬
petent inquirer the advantage of his extensive acquaintance
with the subjects belonging to its range of discussions, and
with the persons who knew them best.

The Portrait of Mr. Way is from a jdiotograph by Mr. G.
Evans, of Worcester.

THE TOMB OF BURCKHARDT.

The famous Swiss traveller, Johann Ludwig Burckliardt, of
Lausanne, died at Cairo in 1817, having passed many years in
Egypt and Syria, and in the adjacent countries of Africa and
Asia, disguised as a Mohammedan, under tho name of Sheikh
Ibrahim. He wandered about in the garb of a poor merchant
or pedlar, walking barefoot, and driving an ass laden with
goods for sale, while his attention was really occupied in ex¬
ploring the ruins and other curiosities of the East. The ancient
rock-hewn city of Petra, in Edom, was discovered and examined
by him. His grave, in tlic Mohammedan cemetery of Bab-el-
X-issr at Cairo, has lately been cared for by the British Consul,
Mr. E. T. Rogers, who has caused a marble monument to be
erected over it. He was assisted in this good work by
ILkekyan Bey. This monument bears on the headstone an
Arabic inscription as follows :—“ God is everlasting. This is
the tomb of the deceased, in the mercy of God, Sheikh Hajj
Ibrahim al Mahdy, son of Abdallah Burckhardt, of Lausanne.
The date of bis birth is 10 Moharrem, A.n. 1190. Tho date of
his death, in the mercy of God, in Cairo, 6 Zilhejje, A.n. 1232.”
Around tho four faces of the cenotaph is inscribed that chapter
of the Koran called “Ayat ul Korsy,” which is generally
engraved on tombstones.

A county meeting was held at Ipswich, on Tuesday, pre¬
sided oyer by Lord Stradbrokc, at which resolutions for forming
an Agricultural Labourers’ Benefit Society *vcre adopted.

At a meeting of the members of the Society of Arts, yester¬
day week, in their rooms, John-street, Adelphi—Sir Charles
Trevelyan, Bart., presiding—a paper was read by General Sir
Arthur Cotton on the Indian Famine, with especial reference
to the means which should be adopted for the alleviation or
prevention of future famines. Among the audience were
several Hindoo gentlemen. The author dealt with the question
in a paper of considerable length, which was listened to with
great interest and warmly applauded.

By the report of the Printers’ Pension, Almshouse, and
Asylum Corporation, presented at the recent annual meeting,
we regrrt to find that the income of the almshouses has not
been sufficient to meet tho expenditure. A debt of nearly £400
has been incurred, and it is proposed to raise that sum, as also,
if possible, to create an endowment fund of £1000. Subscrip¬
tions in aid of these objects will be thankfully received by the
secretary, Mr. J. S. Hodson, at the council chambers, 20, High
11ol bom. The almshouses, situated at Wood-green, are

At the sitting of the Court of Queen’s Bench last Saturday
Dr. Kenealy moved for a rule calling on tlic Crown to show
cause why the case should not bo sent to anew trial, upon
vanous grounds, most of which were of a technical nature.
I he learned counsel also based liis application on the undue in¬
fluence which he alleged tho Lord Chief Justice had brought
to bear upon the jury iu the course of his Bumming
up, repeating, m softened lauguagc, the accusations which ho
had so profusely made during the trial. But he took
nothing by his motion. Point after point was set up only to
bo knocked over The Bench, with one accord, decided that
the technical defects were of no weight whatever, while tho
plea of «ndue influence was disposed of by the intimation
that if the Court had been differently constituted Dr
Kenealy 8 exuberant zeal might have been visited with much
more substantial punishments than the verbal rebukes of which
he so bitterly complained.

ROYAL INSTITUTION LECTURES.

COMPOSITION OP THE ATMOSPHERE.

Mr. Walter Noel Hartley, F.C.S., on Thursday week began a
course of four lectures on the Atmosphere and its relations to
life. In his introductory remarks, after stating that this
gaseous envelope of the earth was at least forty-tive miles m
thickness, he alluded to the opinion of Aristotle that the atmo¬
sphere is a material substance, and described and exhibited
some of the defective experiments made to prove it. Galileo,
however, in 1640, explained to the pump-makers of Florence
why it was impossible to raise water higher than 32 feet by
assuming that the pressure or weight of a column of the atmo¬
sphere could only support a column of water of the height of
32 feet; and Torricelli, his pupil, proved that, as mercury is
nearly fourteen times heavier than water, a column of mercuiy
30 inches in height can be balanced by the air, thus discovering
the barometer. Among the experiments proving that the air
has weight, Mr. Hartley exhibited one devised especially for
his lecture. About 20 cubic feet of air were pumped into an
iron cylinder, the pressure within which amounted to fifty
times that of the atmosphere outside, or 750 lb. to the square
inch. By weighing it was proved that the cylinder had lost
7 oz. in weight when the air was allowed to escape. In 1774
Priestley discovered oxygen, obtaining it from red oxide of
mercury by heat ; and in the same year Lavoisier heated mer¬
cury in air, and found that, when the mercury was oxidised or
burnt, the air had lost its property of supporting combustion
and had diminished in volume; in fact, oxygen was absorbed
by the mercury and nitrogen remained. After exhibiting the
active property of oxygen as a supporter of combustion, and the
neutral property of nitrogen which destroysit, Mr. Hartley showed
phosphorus to be a very energetic absorber of oxygen. One fifth
of the air in a cylinder in which phosphorus had been burnt had
disappeared, the residuum being nitrogen. He then exhibited
the apparatus used by Dumas and Boussingault in 1841, with
which they determined with great exactitude the true composition
of the air. The nitrogen and oxygen were separated by heated
metallic copper, which was converted into black oxide of
copper. The following result was obtained in three days :—
April 27, 22*93 O. and 77 07 N. per cent by weight; April 28,
23 03 O. and 76 97 N. ; April 29, 23 O. and 76 97 N. This
constancy in its composition led chemists—such as Prout,
Dcebereiner, and Thomson—to the mistaken belief that air is a
chemical compound of oxygen and nitrogen ; while Dalton and
Babinet erroneously imagined that the relative proportions of
oxygen and nitrogen vary at different heights ; that, as the air
is a mixture of these gases, and as one gas is heavier than
the other, the heavier will be more abundant at low levels.
Mr. Hartley, in a series of experiments, showed that our atmo¬
sphere is really a mixture of its constituents. He exhibited the
difference in the properties of combined and mixed nitrogen
and oxygen, and even manufactured some air by mixing four
bottles of nitrogen with one of oxygen. He said that the pro¬
perties of our atmosphere are exactly those we Bhould predict
from such a mixture, while it has none of the properties of a
compound. That the chief characteristic of a true chemical
combination—namely, fixity in composition—is wanting, was
shown by referring to the various and numerous analyses of
Regnault, Bunsen, and Lewy, in 1851-2; while the more recent
researches of Dr. Angus Smith reveal the fact that small varia¬
tions in composition are constant under certain circumstances.
This was proved by a diagram showing the composition of the
air in various places in town and country, the average of very
many analyses. This diagram explained why wc feel the air ?„t
the seashore and on moors and such places fresh and invigor¬
ating ; and it reduced to exact numbers what has hitherto been
apparent only through vague sensations and what are apt to be
termed fancies.

COMPLEMENTARY COLOURS AND NEUTRAL TINTS.

Mr. William Spottiswoode, LL.D., Tr. R.S., and Sec. R.I.,
gave the first evening discourse after Easter on Friday, the
17th inst. After alluding to the researches of Wheatstone,
Tyndall, Olerk Maxwell, Lord Rayleigh, and others in regard
to complementary colours and neutral tints, Mr. Spottiswoode
exhibited and commented on some of the results obtainc l by
himself by employing polarised light, which mainly agree with
those given by Helmholtz, the eminent worker on this subject.
If a beam of polarised light which has passed through a plate
of crystal he analysed by a double-iinago prism two images
appear tinted with complementary colours, which form white
when made to overlap. If the plate be of quartz, cut perpen¬
dicularly to the axis, the images will change colour by a con¬
tinuous sequence of tints when either polariscr or analyser is
turned continuously round. Tho colours so seen are, however,
not simple colours of tho spectrum, but mixed or residual tints—
that is, the mixture of all those which remain when one or more
have been extinguished. This is a direct deduction from the
wave theory of light, and has been experimentally demon¬
strated by Mr. Spottiswoode. If a quartz plate of suitable
thickness be used the spectrum of either of the images formed
by the analyser will bo crossed by a single dark band, which
will move along the spectrum in one direction or the other,
according to the direction in which either polariscr or analyser
is turned. It is this principle, said Mr. Spottiswoode, which
enables us to use polarised light for investigating complementary
colours ; for, if we form the spectra of the two complementary
images, we shall find in general that the dark band occupies
ono position in the ordinary and another in the extra¬
ordinary imago. But, since the two images are comple¬
mentary to ono another, and the part extinguished in
each is complementary to the part which remains, it follows
that the part extinguished in one is the complementary of the
part extinguished in the other; that is to say, the bands in the
two spectra will always mark out two complementary portions
Oi the spectrum. The bands thus produced are not sharply
defined, like the Fraunhofer lines in the solar spectrum, but
with a core of minimum or zero illumination, gradu-
Mly shading off at each side ; so rapidly, however, that at a
short distance from the core tho adjoining colours appear in
their full natural intensity. This being so, the colour sup-
pressed in any band will be tbc tint compounded of portions uf
all the colours comprised within the visible limits of the band,
lho whole of the colour corresponding to the core will be sup¬
pressed; but of those colours on each side only portions, smaller
and smaller as they recede from tho core. When ono band
arrives at tho green, moving in the direction of the red, the
other or complementary band is just disappearing in the red.
But at the same time another band is beginning to appear in
the violet W o cannot, therefore, say that the green has for
its complementary the red rather than the violet; the comple¬
mentary m question is, in fact, a mixture of the two-a mix-
turo which, when taken alone, is a reddish purplo. In his
experiments by the extinction of different parts of the
spectrum Mr. Spottiswoode was enabled to dcSuce the com-
position of the complementary colours ; and with an arrange¬
ment of the images and colours of polarised light, given by two
doub c-image pnsms, ho produced fifteen tinte or combinations
of colour; and with an arrangement of the images and colours

ERRONEOU3 ESTIMATE CP THE FRENCH REVOLUTION.

Mr. John Robert Seeley, M. A., Professor of Modern His-
tory in the University of Cambridge, gave the first of a course
of three lectures on the Age of the French Revolution on
Saturday last. In his opening remarks he said that the effect
of the French Revolution upon the public mind had subsided
since 1866, and it was now looked upon more coolly sine©
France had lost her superiority and power of disturbing
Europe. Formerly this revolution had been regarded by some
as the source of inexhaustible benefits, and to it were attributed
the fall of despotism and an improved condition in regard to
wealth, social condition, and government. That there was a
sanguine ferment of liberty in the public mind in 1815 was
evident all over the Continent, and even in the Spanish
American republics ; but this, Mr. Seeley said, was not due to
the French Revolution. It had been said that Franco waged
war for twenty-three years, and gained her ends : though she
herself was subdued, yet liberty was victorious. Napoleon has
been justified ; his ambition has been styled a virtue; and he
has been regarded as tho founder of a school of freedom for
Europe. This, Mr. Seeley said, is transparent mystification,
and has produced terrible results. The excesses and unpa¬
ralleled disasters of the wars of the Revolution discredited
liberty, and led France back to a more terrible despotism.
Napoleon has been termed the soldier of democracy ; but he
rather put it down, and endeavoured to pacify slaves by show¬
ing them glory. Pitt, like William III. and Richelieu,
endeavoured to overcome him by coalitions; but these, for
the first time, faded. After the battle of Austerlitz, 1805,
all the worst fears of Europe were realised; but, after
the battle of Friedland (Napoleon’s “crowning mercy"),
there was tho sdence of the grave. Then appeared
an unprecedented remedy, produced by sheer necessity.
A new power arose which in seven years overthrew the new
universal monarchy. This power was not derived from tho
French Revolution, which Castlereagh acknowledged in 1802
to be crushed. It was the general rising of the peoples to resist
Napoleon. It first appeared in Spain in 1808, a memorable
year for liberalism ; then in Germany, Austria, and Russia.
Napoleon was now not met by standing armies, but by tho
people themselves and their resources ; and this great move¬
ment began through the fadure of the old despotic Govern¬
ments to cope with the enemy. The Princes lost their inflnencc,
and there was a general craving for constitutional government.
The people triumphed over the adversary of their country, and
therefore claimed to be treated in quite another fashion than
before. It had become necessary to caU on them for assistance,
and it was needful to give them political rights. This move¬
ment was entirely independent of tho French Revolution. 1 f
Napoleon had led against tho nations an army of Tartars tho
result would have been just the same. It may be termed tho
anti-Napoleonic revolution. Napoleon rendered no direct
assistance to the liberty of the people. It was the resistance
to and the success against him which did the world good. He
was a universal tyrant; and if he is to be worshipped, because
of the indirect benefits derived from his overthrow, then a
great plague, such as the cholera, is to be reverenced, because
out of it has come sanitary reform.

EXCITABILITY OP NERVES.

Professor Rutherford, M.D., in his second lecture, on
Tuesday last, discussed the various influences which can
elevate or depress the excitability of the Nervous System.
He showed, by experiment, that cold lowers the excitability of
a nerve, so that it becomes impossible to excite it. The nerve,
however, is not necessarily killed thereby ; for, on the eleva¬
tion of the temperature, the excitability returns. Within
limits, the addition of heat increases the excitability ; and heat
renders the nerve more mobile. A galvanic current, if
transmitted along a nerve, also affects the excitability, which ia
increased by the negative pole and diminished by the positive

E ole. The Professor showed that such substances as hemlock,
elladonna, calabar bean, strychnia, chloral, and chloroform
affect excitability, probably by a direct action of their molecules
upon the nerve-molecules in various parts of the nervous system.
By the action of belladonna, tho excitability of the endings of tbo
controlling nerves of the heart is suspended ; but this nervous
apparatus, although paralysed, is not killed; for, under tbo
operation of its antagonist, calabar bean, tho nerve-moleculea
again become mobile, and the controlling intliience of tbo
nerve over the heart is resumed. Chloral and chloroform tem¬
porarily suspend tho excitability of certain parts of the brain.
It may be that these things increase or diminish the proneness
of tho ncrve-molecules to be thrown into a chemical or n
merely mechanical motion. Some very suggestive remarks
were made by tho Professor upon tho effect of the nutrition of
nerve-tissue upon excitability. If the nutrition be entirely
suspended the excitability is lost, paralysis being the result;
but if it be only somewhat defective, excitability is increased.
Even the strongest persons, when weakened by starvation, loss
of blootl, over-exertion, want of sleep, and various other con¬
ditions, become unusually excitable. Loud sounds annoy them,
a bright light pains their eyes, they are very susceptible tu
painful impressions, and they are easily thrown into emotional
states. They have usually a difficulty iu keeping their
mental as well as their bodily equilibrium. They stagger
in thought and action, and arc generally feeble and changeable-
All these phenomena are probably owing to increased mobility
of tho nerve-molecules, resulting from their defective nutri¬
tion or from exhaustion. Tho cause of this increased
excitability is, however, quite unknown. Professor Ruther*
ford then showed how the velocity with which nerve-
motion travels along a nerve is measured by Fick’s beautiful
pendulum myograph, a new instrument for the purpose. The
velocity of the motor nerve of a frog is found to be about
90 feet in a second ; of the human motor nerve, 111 feet in a
second. The velocity is increased by heat and diminished bv
cold, and the difference between the rate in a frog and the rat*’
in man is probably duo to a difference in temperature; for if
the frog’s nerve be heated the velocity becomes as great or
greater than in the warm-blooded animal. Whatever increase*
the excitability of a nerve increases tho velocity. Light travels
at the rate of 195,000 miles a second, while electricity Hies along
a wire at a rate of 87,500 mile 3 a second ; so that tho nerve-
motion is of a very tardy nature. A bird can fly as fast, ami a
stone may fly from a sling, as quickly as the nervo-iinpuiini
proceeds through a nerve.

Tno annual meeting of the members will take place on
Friday next, at two p.m. At the evening meeting Professor
Rolleston will give a discourse on the Early Inhabitants of the
North of England.

The Good Templars held their annual grand lodge session
in the Guildhall, Carnarvon, last week. Four hundred dele¬
gates, representing 676 lodges in North and South Wales, and
a constituency of 42,000 members, took part in tho delibera¬
tions. The Rev. Morris Morgan, Calvinistic minister,
Aberdare, was elected Chief Templar, and Mr. John Lc**,
Havcrfordwc-st, Vice-Templar. The grand lodge for next year
will he held at Aberystwith.

MUSIC.

ROY1X ITALIAN OPERA.

The two earliest of the five performances of last week have
already been referred to, those of the Thursday, Friday, and
Saturday necessarily remaining for present comment.
“ Guglielmo Tell,” on Thursday, brought forward, as Arnoldo,
a new tenor, Signor Bolis, who achieved a decided success by
the display of a resonant tenor voice and much fine decla¬
matory singing. He possesses an exceptionally high range—
commanding the B natural in the chest voice, but apparently
falling short of the extreme notes (C natural and C sharp)
which Rossini has required from the representative of Arnoldo,
and which are, indeed, rarely to be realised. One or two
transpositions and omissions were therefore necessarily made,
notwithstanding which, however, the performance of Signor
Bolis was one that deserved, and met with, marked approba¬
tion throughout, and should find many repetitions, as rendering
possible a hearing of one of the grandest of ail operas—one which
is too seldom heard, on account of the difficulty of filling the
all-important part of the hero lover. He was greatly applauded
in the recitative “H mio giuro,” which immediately follows his
entry, in his share of the duet with Tell, of that with Mathilde,
and in the great trio with Tell and Walter. His delivery of
the appeal to his comrades to rescue Tell, “ Corriam, voliam,”
was characterised by great energy, and drew forth fresh demon¬
strations of applause and a recall of the singer, who may be
considered as a valuable acquisition in leading parts of heroic
opera. The Princess Mathilde of Madame Sinico and the Tell of
M. Maurel were the same fine performances as heretofore ; and
the recent debutante, Mdlle. Cottino, as Jemmy (Tell’s son),
sang well in the concerted music of the first act and in that of
the apple-shooting scene. Mdlle. Scalchi reappeared as Eudige
(Tells wife), and other parts were also mostly as before, the
fine voice of Signor Bagagiolo as Walter having again been a
powerful adjunct in the great trio with Arnoldo ami Tell. In
tho one song of the Fisherman, Siguor Sabatcr (a recent
debutant) was applauded, aud other subordinate characters
were filled by Signori Tagliafico, Rossi, and Raguer. In the
divertissement of the third act the “Tyrolienne ” was skilfully
danced by Mdlles. Girod, Petroldi, and Bicesti. The scenic
splendour of this establishment was, as before, an important
feature in the representation of the opera.

On Friday “Les Huguenots" was given, with Mdlle.
d’Augeri as Valentina, affording another proof of the progress
of this meritorious young artist. Mdlle. Mariinon, ns Mar-
gherita di Valois, sang the florid music of the part with much
brilliancy. Signor Nicolini—who was tho Raoul, as heretofore—
sang and acted with great effect, as did Signor Cotogni as the
Count di Nevcrs ; the cast having included, as formerly, Mdllo.
Scalchi as the Page, and Signor Bagagiolo as Marcello.

On Saturday “ H Barbiere ” was given again, with the sanio
cast as on the previous Tuesday.

On Monday “Guglielmo Tell” was repeated, and the opera
again included Signor Bolis's successful performance as Arnoldo,
with the other important features above referred to.

On Tuesday Mdllo. Albani appeared for the first time this
Beason, and as Lucia, in “ Lucia di Lammermoor,” displayed a
progress in vocal power aud style that will doubtless enhance
the already high position held by this artist. In the opening
cavatina, “Regnava nel silenzio,” with its preliminary recita¬
tive ; in tho following duet with her lover, Edgardo; in that
with her brother, Eurico; and, above all, in the music of the
contract scene, her singing was characterised by brilliancy,
refinement, aud pathos, such as called forth repeated
demonstrations of enthusiastic applause from an audience
that completely filled the theatre. The impression thus
produced was increased by the admirable delivery of
the scena of delirium, in which the pure, fresh quality
of Mdlle. AlbauPs voice, her fine bravura execution,
and general refinement of expression formed a triumphant
climax to her performance. There can be no question that
this gifted and accomplished young artist will, this season,
prove a greater source of attraction than ever. The occasion
referred to brought back Signor Pavaui, who sang with great
effect as Edgardo ; the admirable singiDg of Signor Cotogni as
Enrico Aston having been, as formerly, an important feature
in the opera.

For Thursday “ La Sonnnmbula ” was announced, with
Mdlle. Albani as Amina; for the following evening, “ Un
Ballo in Maschera" was promised, with the reappearance of
Mdlle. Pezzotta and the debut of Mdlle. Bianchi; and to-night
(.Saturday), “ Guglielmo Tell ” is to be given again.

The first of this season’s morning concerts in the Floral Hall
is to take plaeo to-day (Saturday), with a programme of strong
interest, including the co-opcration of tho principal artists of
the Royal Italian Opera.

her majesty’s orr.RA.

The promised repetition of “ Fidelio,” on Thursday week,
was replaced by that of “Marta,” in consequence of the indis¬
position of Mdlle. Titiens, the continuance of wdiich also caused
tho postponement of the performance of “ Les Huguenots,”
instead of which, on Saturday, “II Barbiere di Sivigah” was
giveii, with Madame TrebelU-Bettini as Rosin a. The fine
singing of this lady in Rossini s music rendered it the more a
matter of regret that she should have chosen such a puerile
piece as Offenbach’s bolero, “C’esfc l’Espagne,” (from “Les
Bavardes ”), for infcerjjolation in the singmg-lesson scene. It
was, however, more applauded than anything in the opera
itself. Signor Raraini, as Ahnaviva, rather lessened the im¬
pression which he bad previously made by his ddbut, as Liouello
iu “Marta;” as did also Signor Catalani, as Figaro, that
which he recently produced by his performance as Don Pizarro,
in “ Kiddie.” The Bartolo off Signor Borella (who reappeared
on this occasion) and the Bosilio of Signor Agnesi were worthy
of the reputation of those artists.

On Monday that estimable tenor Signor Fancelli reappeared
as Liouello in “ Marta,” which was otherwise cast as recently
given here, except that Signor Borella resumed th# part of Lord
Tristano. Oil Tuesday “ La Favorita ” was related, on
Thursday “ Les Huguenots ” was to be given, and for to-night
(Saturday) “ Fidelio” is promised.

The twenty-third season of the New Philharmonic concerts
began at St. .fames’s Hall on Saturday afternoon. The
premised performance of Sir Julius Benedict’s symphony in G
minor was postponed until the second concert (on Wednesday
evening last), and Beethoven’s in B flat was given instead. The
overture to “ Euryanthc,” and that composed by Carl Reinccke
in 1871, in celebration of the peace, completed the orchestral
pieces, all which 'were finely played by a band comprising many
of our best instrumentalists. Mdlle. Marie Krebs reappeared,
and made a marked impression by her skilful performances of
Beethoven a piauoforte concerto in O minor and two unaccom¬
panied solo pieces by Schumann. The vocalists were Mdlles.
Marimon and Scalchi Herr Ganz and Hr. Wylde alternately
cm eiated as conductor.

c> Lskjmt 0,,e the eighteenth scries of Crystal Palaoo
ba today afternoon concerts included an admirable performance,
by Mr. Edward Daumcuther, of a pianoforte concerto, with

orchestral accompaniments by Edvard Grieg, which was heard
for the first time in England on this occasion. The composer,
still young, is a Norwegian whose music haB already com¬
manded much attention in Germany by its distinct individuality
of character. We shall, doubtless, soon have further oppor¬
tunity of speaking of this interesting work, tho impression
made by which, on Saturday, was highly favourable. The
programme included Beethoven’s * ‘ Pastoral ” symphony,
Gounod’s overture to “Le m^decin malgrd lui,” and Mendels¬
sohn’s to “Athalie,” with vocal solos by Miss Blanche
Cole, Mr. E. Lloyd, and Signor Celli. The closing per¬
formances of to-day (Saturday) will comprise Beethoven’s
“ Choral ” symphony, and Schumann’s overture and a selec¬
tion from his incidental music to “ Manfred.”

The second concert of the new season of the Philharmonic
Society took place on Monday evening, when the first part of
the programme closed with the overture of Schumann’s opera,
Genoveva,” and commenced with Spohr’s grandest orchestral
symphony (the fourth of his nine works of the kind) composed
in illustration of Carl Pfeiffer’s metaphysical poem, “ Die Weihe
der Tone,” properly “The Consecration of Sound,” but long
erroneously anglicised as “The Power of Sound.” Mdlle. Krebs
played Beethoven’s pianoforte concerto in E flat (the “Em¬
peror ”) with great effect; Miss S. Ferrari sang Bach’s aria,
“My heart ever faithful," and Mi bs Sterling gave Mozart’s
canzonet, “Quando miro,’’both with much expression. The
second part of the programme consisted of Mendelssohn’s
“Midsummer Night’s Dream ” music, tho vocal solos by the
ladie 3 just named. Tho performances throughout were worthy
of the reputation of the society and of its conductor, Mr. W. G.
Cusins.

Mrs. R. C. Roney (Miss Helen Hogarth) gave her farewell
concert at the Queen’s Concert Rooms, Hanovcr-squarc, on
Monday afternoon. A very full programme included tho
names of several distinguished artistes. Mrs. Roney—who
has for some time been favourably known as a teacher of music
in London—has accepted an appointment as professor of singing
at the Ladies’ College, Cheltenham.

The competition for the Sberndale Bennett Scholarship took
place last Saturday, at tho Royal Academy of Music, Tentenkn-
street, Han over-square. Tho examiners were : the Principal
(Sir Sterndale Bennett), Mr. G. A. Macfarren, Mr. F. R. Cox,
Mr. W. G. Cusins, Mr. F. B. Jewson, and Mr. II. C. Limn,
aud tho results were as follow :—Charlton T. Speer, elected ;
F. W. W. Bampfylde, highly commended; T. Sylver and J. C.
Andrews, commended.

THEATRES.

Our account of new plays is not quite so satisfactory as might
be desired. A kind of poetical piece at the 11 ay market,
entitled “ Love’s Paradise, did not prosper so well in tho oar
of the audience as it appears to have done in the eyes of the
author, who was content to remain auonymous. Subsequently
to the first night it has been neatly cut and trimmed, and is
now altogether more presentable to a London audience. The
legend ot “ Cupid and Psycho" serves for the material of the
action and dialogue. The scene is Olympus, where Mercury ex¬
plains to Venus that the beauty of her rival Psycho diminishes
tho number of her own worshippers. He then disguises him¬
self as “an oracle," and, visiting King Phuuuidos, declares
that Psyche, one of his daughters, must be fastened to a rock
on the seashore until consumed by a sea-monster. Psyche,
accordingly, undergoes the fate of Andromeda ; but Zephyrus
captures the octopus and transmits it to the Brighton aquarium.
Cupid, meanwhile, transfers Psyche to Paradise, whence
she is afterwards banished for her disobedience ; but Apollo
renders her immortal, and thus makes her capable of sharing
her husband’s abode. Mrs. Alfred Mellon impersonates Mer¬
cury, and Miss Fanny Gwynno Cupid. Miss Fanny Wright as
Psyche, and Miss B. Henri as Venus, are pleasant representa¬
tives of two charmiDg deities. Tho scenery, which is by Messrs.
O’Connor aud Morris, is exceedingly good.

Un Saturday a new play was produced at the Queen’s, but
so baiily rehearsed, as well as poorly written, that it w r as
difficult to sustain the interest of the audience. It is called
“ Fair Prance,” and 13 founded on the story of Marshal Ney.
Tho author is Mr. West Oigges, who acts in it himself, as
Gregoire, the son of tho unfortunate soldier. The drama is
divided into four acts, appropriated to the four seasons—
spring, summer, autumn, winter. Mr. Creswick sustained the
part of Ney with great ability, but the dialogue intrusted to
him >vas so inadequate to the situations that his powers were
wasted. Throughout the action there was a want of explana¬
tion, and tho audience had to draw on their own knowledge of
the subject. We were conducted into the presence of historical
events—such as the Ball at Brussels and the Battle of
Waterloo—but nothing was realised, or attempted to be realised,
of the incidents. For the first, a tableau of Mr. H. O’Neil's
picture, “Before Waterloo,” was exhibited, preceded, how¬
ever, by no ball, or “ revelry,” though Byron’s lines are quoted
on the bills. Unfortunately, too, the stage was kept waiting ;
during which interval tho poet’s description might liavo been
declaimed with advantage. Some path09 was excited by the
last scenes, particularly where Ney parts from his children;
and then came “Gcromo's celebrated picture” for tho con¬
cluding tableau. Tho audience did not appreciate tho intro¬
duction of these works of art; aud, minus these, the merits of
the play are so small that it has no self-sustaining force.

The French plays have now their homo at the Princess’s.
Balzac’s “ La Maratre ” has been a great boon to the admirers
of the horrible. Tho repulsive incidents are better suited to a
novel than to a drama. The duel between the stepmother and
daughter is carried out to the bitter end. Tho acting of Mario
Laurent and Mdlle. Kelly added, by its excellence, to the terror
of the scene. On Monday “ L'iionauur do la Maisou” w'as
performed for the first time in England. Madamo Mario
Laurent supported the principal rOle.

A reduction of 2s. per ton iu the price of coals took place in
the London market on Monday.

A numerous deputation on Monday waited upon the Duke
of Richmond to protest against the opening of the National
Museums and Art-Galleries on Sundays. His Grace promised
to give the arguments on both sides Ins careful consideration.

Another board school, situated in Crook's-ground, Chelsea,
was opened on Monday evening last. The Rev. Canon Crom¬
well, who occupied the chair, was supported on tho platform,
among other gentlemen, by the Parliamentary representatives
of the borough, Sir C. Dilko and Mr. W. Gordon.

Major Frank Bolton, iu his monthly report upon the metro¬
politan water supply, states that the number of miles of streets
containing main3 constantly charged with water, and upon
which hydrants could at once be fixed, are as follow :—Kent
Company, 64 miles ; New River, 168 ; East London, 76; South¬
wark and Vauxliall, ICO; West Middlesex, 65; Grand Junction,
41; Lambeth, 110; Chelsea, 50—-making a length of 6|8 miles.

THE SCULLERS’ CHAMPIONSHIP.

Our last weekly chronicle of “ National Sports ” contained an
account of the match for the Thames Scullers’ Championship,
and a stake of £200 each side, between Joseph Henry Sadler,
late of Putney, and Robert Bagnall, of Newcastlc-on-Tyne.
Their race took place on Thursday week, between two and
three in the afternoon. As wo observed, Sadler won an easy
victory, getting a boat’s length ahead before they had gone
200 yards, and finishing with an advantage of six lengths.
Tho distance from Putney to Mortlake was done in 24 mm.
15 secs. Our Illustration show3 the scene at the end of the
race, if race it may be called at that period. Sadler, who holds

THE LATE COLLIERY EXPLOSION.

The disaster, on Tuesday week, in the Astley Deep Pit of
Messrs. B. Ashton and Co. 's Dunkirk Colliery, at Dukinfield,
near Manchester, was mentioned iu our last. It was fatal to
fifty-two lives, including that of Charles Jones, one of the men
who went down to explore the passages and to rescue the living
or remove the bodies of the dead. The explosion took place
near eight o’clock in tho evening, when about sixty men were
at work in that part of the mine, which is an incline called
“the down brow,” from the bottom of the downcast shaft^to
tho north workings. This should, under ordidary circum¬
stances, have been the safest part. The fresh air from above
is drawn into the “ downcast shaft” by the heat of a
great furnace near it 3 bottom. After traversing all the pas¬
sages, the “levels,” and tho “workings,” as tho multitude
of galleries are called, the air quits the mine by tho “ upcast
shaft,” a second deep cylindrical pit, or well, usually not far
from the downcast shaft by which it entered. Tho Astley Pit
is one of the deepest in that part of England, tho depth of ita
downcast shaft being 6SI yards. Tho north workings extend
1600 yards, aud the south workings nearly 1000 yards. Four
hundred meu and boys are employed here, in two sets alter¬
nately, by day and night. Thuro were about 150 at work, in
different parts of the mine, when the explosion took place. The
“down-brow” is a spacious tunnel, seventy yards or eighty
yards long and quite sixteen yards wide, forming one of tho
main inlets of fresh air. But the roof of this tunnel
had shown symptoms of giving way, and a party
of five men were employed in underpinning or
propping it, to prevent a fall of “dirt,” as the
earth, or any substance not coal, is usually called. While
they were so engaged, within twenty or tliirty yardB of the
downcast shaft, the huge mass of the roof actually fell. They
all escaped injury but George Hartshorn, tho engineer, who
was not crushed, but was suffocated afterwards. Tho fallen
mass almost closed up the wide tunnel, leaving but a very
small space at top. There must have been a vast discharge of
inflammable gas from the rent made in tho roof above. This
instantly took fire and exploded, but those at the mouth of
the pit scarcely heard or saw anything of the explosion.
The “after-damp,” or “choke-damp,” as usual, caused
the death of many whom tho fire had spared. About a dozen,
whoso workings lay nearer the shaft, were able to escape by
the return airway. A large number of men ut the surface,
directed by Mr. Hilton, the colliery manager, worked diligently
that night to get the entrance cleared and to search for their
lost comrades. Most of the dead bodies were brought up in
the next day or two. The families of the meu killed are much
pitted, and a subscription has been opened for their relief, which
' was headed by Mr. Ashton, the principal ot the Dunkirk
Colliery Company, with £500. Several who came up alive were
taken to the local infirmary, where more than one (lied.

FUNERAL OF DR. LIVINGSTONE.

The mortal rema ; ns of the great missionary explorer of Central
Africa^ were brought to this country by the Peninsular and
Oriental Company's steam ship Malwa, arriving at Southampton
on W ednesday week. They were on Saturday laid in the
grave at Westminster Abbey with the honours of a public
funeral. These proceedings are the subject of several of our
Illustrations.

A deputation of the Royal Geographical Society, with a few
of Dr. Livingstone's personal friends, had awaited the arrival
of the Malwa, whicn had been delayed two or three days.
They were the Rev. Dr. Moffat, his father-in-law ; Mr. James
Young, of Kelly, the munificent supporter of Livingstone's
expeditions ; Mr. W. F. Webb, of Newstead Abbey, a clistin-

f uisbed African traveller and sportsmau, who has also contri-
uted’largely to defray Livingstone's expense of travelling;
Colonel J. A. Grant, the companion traveller with Captain
Speke; tho Rev. Horace Waller ; Mr. H. M. Stanley, special
correspondent of the New York Herald; General Rigby,
formerly Consul at Zanzibar; and Mr. W. Oswald Living¬
stone, • son of the great explorer. These gentlemen were
taken out to meet the Malwa off Netley, early in the
morning, by tho steam-tender Aid, under the orders of
Admind Sir W. Hall, director of the Peninsular and Oriental
Company, and Captain Black, superintendent. They were
joined by Mr. Arthur Young, of Zanzibar, who had come in
the Malwa from Aden to Suez in charge of Dr. Livingstone’s
body and of his papers, and had reached England from Suez by
the overland route. On board the Malwa they were received
by Captain Tomlin, and by Mr. Thomas Livingstone, the eldest
son of Dr. Livingstone, a mercantile agent in Egypt. Jacob
Wamyrighfc, a negro youth educated by the Church Missionary
Society, who had been in Dr. Livingstone’s service, was also
on board the Malwa. That vessel, after some delay, entered
the company's dock, where she was to lie, while tho body of
Dr. Livingstone was to bo put on board a smaller boat for land¬
ing at the Royal Tier. It was about eleven o’clock.

The gentlemen present were conducted to tho mail-room,
whero the coffin lay, covered with the Peninsular and Oriental
Company's llag. The mail-room was also draped with the
Union Jock. Mr. Alderton, chief officer of tho Malwa, had
charge of these arrangements. Alongside the Malwa in dock
now lay tho small Isle of Wight steamer Queen, on board
which; were the Mayor of Southampton, Mr. E. Jones, the
Sheriff, Mr. Gamlen, the Town Clerk, the Senior and Junior
Bailiffs, tho Aldermen and Bomc Town Councillors, in thoir
robes, but with crape arm-bands, and Sir F. Perkins, M.P. for
the borough. The coffin was hoisted by a pulley from tho
Malwa to the deck of the Queen, while all present reverently
took off their hats. The Queen conveyed it to the Royal Pier,
where the processiou was marshalled to escort the hearse to the
railway station. A wreath of camellias and other dowers was
placed on the coffin, now covered with the Union Jack, a3 it
lay on the deck of the Queen. This was done by a lady, Mrs.
Phillips. The ships and public buildings and Foreign Consulates
bail their (lags lowered half-mast high.

The hoarse, drawn by four liorseB, waited at the cn 1 of tbe
pier. The coffin, enveloped in the usual velvet pall, fringed
with wldto silk, was carried from the steam boat along the
lauding-stago. The pall bearers wore Sheriff Gamlen, Bailiffs
Pcarse and Purkiss, and Messrs. Weston, Phippard, and G.
Perkins, members of the Corporation. The procession, led by
the Mayor, included the municipality and magistracy, the
relatives of Dr. Livingstone, the members of the Royal
Geographical Society, the clergy and medical gentlemen
of the town, the Foreign Consuls, the School Board, tho Council
of* tho Hartley Institute, and committees of other literary
societies. An immense throng of people stood in High-street,
Bridge street, and Oxford-street, along t o mile-long road to
the fetation. Our Engraving shows the hearse, with the Rev.
Dr. Moffat, Mr. Thomas Livingstone on his right, and Mr.
Oswald Livingstone on his left hand, walking close behind it.
Those who follow next tho family arc Colonel Grant, tho Ilcv.
Horace Waller, Mr. Young, and Mr. Webb ; behind these are
Mr. H. M. Stanley, Admiral Hall, and others; lastly, Jacob
Wainwright. It was about noon when the procession took
place. The enfriu was conveyed to London by railway, and tho
members of the Royal Geographical Society took it to their
house in Savile-row. A surgical examination of the body was
made by Sir William Ferguson, assisted by Dr. Loudon, of
Hamilton, a former professional attendant of Dr. livingstoiio.
Dr. Kirk, the Rev. Dr. Moffat, the Rev*. Horace Waller, and
Mr. Webb were present. It was proved beyond doubt that tho
body was that ox Dr. Livingstone. The left arm-bone showed
the old fracture, caused by the bite of a lioness thirty years
ago, which has often been noticed as a mark of his identity.

Tho body was transferred from the rough Zanzibar coffin to
one of English oak, bearing the inscription: “ David

Livingstone, bom at Blantyre, Lanarkshire, Scotland,
March 19, 1813 : died at llala, Central Africa, May 4, 1873.”
It lay in tho Map Room of the Royal Geographical Society’s
house till Saturday morning. Wreaths of flowers to deck tho
bier were sent by Lady Burdctb-Coults, Lady Bavtle Frcre,
and Dr. iUtschul; lastly, by her Majesty tho Queen.

1 his crowning gift, on Saturday morning, was in¬
scribed, “A tribute of respect and admiration from Queen
v ictoria. ' Before the funeral ceremony a short religious ser¬
vice was performed by the Rev. Mr. Hamilton, a Scottish
1 rcsbyfcenan Minister. The chief mourners and the deputies
of several learned societies wero present at this service.
Among them was the French Vice Admiral Baron Ronci6re do
•Neury, President of the Geographical Society of Paris.

A procession of twelve immrniug coaches was then formed,
to follow the hearse to Westmioster Abbey. In the first carriage
were Mr. Thomas and Mr. Oswald Livingstone, tho Rev. Dr.
Moffat, and Mr. Janies Yavasseur. Jn tho second were General
1. Steele and Mr. Webb, who had been travelling companions
of Livingstone in Africa, with two young neeroes, Jacob Wain-
wnght and Mr. Stanley’s Kalulu. The third conveyed the
Rev Horace Waller, Vicar of Leytonstone, one of Bishop
Mackenzie’s mission on the Shird ; Mr. Oswell, one of the oldest
comrades of Livingstone’s explorations; Mr. E. D. Young, who
led one of the expeditions in search of Livingstone ; and Mr.
U. M. Stanley, who afterwards found him. Among those who
S fu ° thcr mourning-coaches wero the Duke of

Sutherland, Lord Houghton, Sir Bartle Frere, Sir Henry
Rawhnsoo, Colonel Grant, Sir W. Ferg.isson, Mr. Young
of Kdl y , Dr. Hooker, the Lords Provost of Edinburgh
and Glasgow, Mid the Mayor of Southampton. Many private
carriages, which were empty, followed the processiou, those of
tho Queen and the Prince of Wales being first. They passed
through St. James s-street, Pall-mall, Charing-cross, and

KoaC tUe Broad Sanotuary - ^ iS*

Jacob Wainwright. Livingstone's two S o£ were ioincd'by his

Thenrofi^”’ "^^ raw l thMre - Webb, of NewStead Abbey.
The procession with the coffin entered by Dean’s-yard and the

Cloisters. A very numerous congregation filled all tbe space
in the nave and aisles. It included many persons of rank and
distinction, the Lord Mayor of Loifflon, aud deputations from
all the missionary societies.

The grave was prepared in the centre of the nave, next that of
Major Rennell, opposite the monument of Field Marshal Wade.
The nave was carpeted with black cloth, but here was a raised
dais, with a white rim, for the reading-desk of the clergy.
Those officiating were Dean Stanley and Canons Conway and
Leighton, with four or five Minor Canons. The music was
performed by the full choir of the abbey, strengthened by
voices from the Chapel Royal, St. Paul’s, aud tho Temple
Church, under Mr. Flood Jones, the precentor; Mr. Turle
playing the organ. Tho religious ceremonial was very im¬
pressive, and our Illustration of this scene has a more than
ordinary degree of interest.

FINE ARTS.

SOCIETY OF PAINTERS TN WATER COLOURS.

From various causes—among which, we regret to say, must be
included the ill-health of some leading members—tho present
exhibition of this society is, it seems to us, inferior to most of
its predecessors of recent years, at least in tho department of
figures. It will be at once understood that the display must
have suffered considerably when we say that the absentees are
Messrs. Walker, Carl Haag, Marks, North, Shields, Holman
Hunt, Bradley, and Jenkins, together with Mr. Ruskin and the
rest of the honorary members. Other contributors—among
whom are Messrs. Dobson, Palmer, Pinwell, Lamont, Macbeth,
Marsh, Hale, and Houghton—are represented hut sparingly,
and the last five quite inadequately. With the exception of
the president, Sir John Gilbert, few of the members of long
standing have exerted themselves according to their wont, and
two posts of honour are filled (deservedly) by Mr. E. K.
Johnson and F. Powell. Moreover, tho works arc not only
fewer, but they appear to have been arranged with less care
than usual. A very unsymmetrieal and unequal top-line of pic¬
tures may be as agreeable to some as a “picturesque) sky-line”
in architecture; but the effect is not, in our eyes, enhanced when
the inequalities reveal shreds and tatters of drapery that must
convey an impression of parsimony unexpected from this
society, which is surely far from out at elbows otherwise. Tho
members should be advised not to rest on their laurels; the
junior “ Institute,” in its current show, is nearly, if not quite,
abreast of its parent, and bids fair to continue its rapid
advance.

Two new members have been elected since the last exhi¬
bition—namely. Miss Clara Montalba aud Mr.W. Duncan, son
of the veteran E. Duncan. Miss Montalba is a painter chiefly
of architectural subjects, whoso sketches we have admired at
various exhibitions for their Bpirit and rich, harmonious colour¬
ing. Those qualities, with more completeness, distinguish
three Venetian views here, especially the interior of the Greek
Church at Venice (60), with its gorgeously-decorated golden
ikonostasix the mellow' splendour of thetonesof which is rendered
with the feeling for colour of a true artist. In the con¬
tributions of Mr. W. Duncan figures—not, as might be expected,
landscape—form the leading element of interest. Two of them
illustrate Fouche’s pretty story of “Undine”—No. 115, where,
giving farewell to her knightly husband, Huldbrand, she leaps
from the boat into the Danube, and 247, where, reappearing,
she gives him the kiss of death—a poetic incident poetically
treated. The other drawings represent “ Fra Angelico ” (253)
painting on a wall of his convent, San Marco, at Florence, a
fresco of the heavenly hierarchy, somewhat similar in com¬
position to the picture in the National Gallery (this drawing we
shall engrave), and a female figure in a golden robe “ Listen¬
ing ” (233) at a door. There is good colour in these drawings
also, with other technical merits; but we shall look for more
important works from both the new members.

As already intimated, Sir John Gilbert is in force. One of
his finest works of later years, to our mind, is the large illus¬
tration (16) of “ Othello ”—the scene in the first act where
Desdemona pleads her love of the Moor ami her duty as a wife
in extenuation of her disobedience as a daughter The facility
and felicity of the arrangement, and the exuberant piefcuresque-
ncss of the execution and colouring, are all that might be ex¬
pected ; while tho characters' actions and gestures are, as alw'ays,
descriptive and suggestive ; but the artist does not, this time,
stop here : the several faces have a degree of expressiveness
which renders the work more sympathetically penetrative
and less superficial as a dramatic conception than usual. Sir
John’s grasp of character ami expression is also displayed
in the drawing entitled “Conspiracy” (34), illustrative of
the first scene of tlic fourth act of “King Richard 11.”
Not less capital in its way is the lusty Cavalier trumpeter
sounding “ A Recall ” (52). Two or three drawings of smaller
dimensions fully partake of the excellence of those before men¬
tioned. Simple announcement, rather than criticism, seems all
that is called for in reference to the contributions of some other
painters whose styles are familiar. Mr. F. W. Topliam, for
instance, sends an example of bis well-known manner in “ The
Church Porch ”(128)—a handsome Spanish Soil ora, accompanied
by her duenna, giving alms to a boy of a group of beggars.
Mr. F. Taylor is best represented in “ Wild-Boar Hunt—the
First Spear’’(135). In a drawing of “One of Cromwell’s
l roopers (23) the taking air of sketchy smartness is preserved
at some sacrifice of correct draughtsmanship. Of Mr. Birkett
Lqsters drawings wc like best “The Spring ” (75), with rustic
children and sheep. But, in aiming apparently at a larger
styJo, Mr. Foster seems to bo losing some of the charm
'yorka. Mr W Goodall has a good drawing
(143) indicating tho evils of tho lottery system in Italy, so
long fostered by tho Papal Government—a man is reading to a
group of cottagers the blanks they have evidently drawn Mr.
A. D. Fnpp s Starring in the Provinces ” (122), an organ-man
(wi h accompaniment from a knife-grinder), is amusing ; but
wc much prefer his coast scene called “ Sea Anpmnn^ ’^(231),

winch is remarkable lor its beautiful opalescent hues and open-
air brilliance. Despite its conventionality, there is genuine
imaginative art—the imaginative art which renders all things
subservient to its ideal conception—in Mr. S. Palmers “Old
England a Sunday Evening,” a landscape with peasants wending
their way church wards through golden corn-fields and the
glowing haze of autumn sunset?

methods employed, and excepting a little monotony in tho
flesh-tints and some other passages, both drawings are among
the most enjoyable in the room, Mr. Pinwell s single contribu¬
tion, called “The Beggars’ Roost’ (6S), represents charac¬
teristic figures, seated on a bench, from studies lqade at
Taugiera, whither the artist repaired last winter for the benefit
of his health. It is but just to Mr. Pinwell’s reputation to say
that this work is evidently incomplete ; the female beggar to
the left evinces, however, his feeling for grace. Mr. Alina
Tadema sends four small Roman subjects in long :-:arrow corn-
partments, which are distinguished by his original taste in
colour, and archaeological propriety. The gem of the four is
“Autumn ” (249), with idlers seated on a wayside marble bench
and a couple of lovers strolling among tree-trunks aud sere leaves
in the distance. Mr. J. D. Watson has several meritorious
pleasing drawings, with cavaliers and maidens in amatory con¬
verse. We like equally well, however, “A Check (193), ono
of two sporting bits, with a truthful effect of light.

Tho sections of landscape, marine, and architecture are
comparatively more rich ; but here, also, the grateful recol¬
lection of former achievements must not blind us to the
manifest falling off in some works with well-known names
attached. There are, on the other hand, works by artists of long
standing which take a higher place relatively than usual—as,
for instance, the contributions of Messrs. T. Danby, Jackson
(views about the Thames and Plymouth), Newton, S. Read,
Naftel, and C. Smith. Familiar as w r e are with Mr. T.
Danby’s Welsh lake views, with their rather monotonously
serene, sunny effects, and their decidedly conventional manipu¬
lation—yet this year they seem, particularly Nos. 7 and 118, to
convey a novel sense of sweet repose, an exceptionally happy
impression of broad, all-pervading daylight. Mr. S. Read has
hardly within our recollection exhibited a drawing so rich
and vigorous in colour and effect as his presentment of that
tine old Low Countries’ interior at Antwerp, the “ Brewers’
Corporation-Room ” (271). The true sphere for this artist lies,
we think, in subjects of this class, after due acknowledgment
of the merit of his view (45) of the precipitous rocks of Handa
Island on the Sutherlandshire coast, with their myriads of sea¬
birds. All who sympathise with Mr. Brittan Willis for the
loss of his life’s labour by the fire at the Pantechnicon will
rejoice to find no traces in his works of the severe blow he sus¬
tained. So far from that , indeed, we have never had more
charming drawings from his hand than the “Scene on the Wye,
near Ross” (119), and “Goodrich Castle, on the Wye—Early
Morning” (169). Artificiality in the juxtaposition of hues is,
we think, less noticeable in Mr. Richardson's Italian views
than formerly, but we miss the decision and crispness of touch
of earlier works. Mr. Dodgson, on the contrary, in his views
from tho Yorkshire moors, Whitby Scaur, and the “ Valley of
the Water-Ark, Goathland ” (26 and 131), is more sparkling-
must we not say, also, more spotty ?—than ever ; so much so
that gradations of atmosphere and breadth of repo 3 o are impos¬
sible. Tho sterling, but occasioually too quiet and modest,
ability of Mr. E. Duncan is shown in several view’s on the
Thames ; hut his most effective drawing is a marine piece (139),
with boats oyster-dredging. In the came category of unpre¬
tending ability may be placed tho contributions from tbe isle
of Sark (19) and Argyleshire (123) by Mr. George Fripp ; tho
Welsh and Surrey views by Mr. C. Davidson (who, however,
is generally more painstaking) ; “ A Caravan Overtaken by a
Sand-Storm ” (114), by Mr. E. A. Goodall; and Mr. Brierly’a
single drawing of “ Admiral Blake Waiting to Attack the
Royalist Fleet Anchored in tbe Tagus under i’riuce Rupert ”
(19S). Mr. H. C.Waito’8 snow-covercd “Cambrian Heights”
(163) i3 one. of the most successful workB by this artist we have
Been, though a little mannered aud “woolly.” By-the way,
washing and sponging appear to be coming too freely into use
by other of the artists lately named, judging by the tameness
and semi-opacity the employment of the expedients are apt to
engender.

Three or four artists have yet to he noticed whose pro¬
ductions are among the choicest in the room. Of these Mr. F.
Powell challenges special attention with his large ilrawing,
“The Isles of the Sea” (180), w’hioh is a marine pieco, not a
landscape—the isles lying in cloud, and scud, and mi-t across
the sea in the distance. The feature of this fine work is the
painting of the heavy sea, which evinces the artist’s mastery in
seizing and accurately recording the form and action of great
waves in conformity with the governing laws of disturbance
and equipoise, and the accidents of light, shade and reflection.
We have only one objection to offer—i.e., that the network of
wavelets spread over the large waves are rather mechanically
regular, and not sufficiently foreshortened on the receding sur¬
faces. Mr. Alfred W. Hunt’s small Welsh and Scotch subjects
(Nos. 246, 260, and 265) convey, as heretofore, a delightful and
purely artistic impression of lovely phases of natural effect; but
they must bo seen—their charm cannot be analysed. Several
equally unambitious drawings by Mr. Boyce, remarkable for
truth of aspect and comparatively free from the photographic
rigidity of earlier works, are likewise commended to the visitor.
Lastly, Mr. A. Goodwin takes a foremost place among tho
newest associates with several Alpine scenes, painted with
feeling and delicacy, showing on the slopes the summer
tapestry of rose, and gentian, aud other of tho Alpine flora.

The Exhibition of the Institute of Painters in Water Colours
opened on Monday. We must reserve our notice till next week.

We regret to announce the death, on tho 19fch inst., of Mr.
Owen Jones. Wo are preparing a portrait of tho eminent

It is stated that the ICimmeridge clay and oil-beariug shalo,

The Nottingham Club at this crisis announced that they could eivo

resigned the game. *

Tho second game, a very abort affair, waa also won by the Nottingham
player. It presents no points of suflicient interest to render it worthy of
publication.

Chess Intelligence.—T he winter season of the chess world having
been fitly terminated by the victorj' of Lon.lon in the match with Vienna,
and tho conclusion of the handicap tourmuuent at the City Club, there is
now the usual lull, lii prospect, however, are several contests of im*
poitance, foremost among which is the long talked-of match between
5los.srs. 13ml and Blackburne. Visitors at the Divan have of late enjoyed
the advantage of witnessing a series of games, nearly every afternoon,
between players of tho first force, Buch as Messrs. Bird, Boden, and
Macdonnell, a very agreeable relief to the ordinary spectacle of Queen-
players vainly contending ut tho odds of a Knight.

On the motion of Mr. Alsager Hay Hill, the council of the
Working Men's Club and Institute Union has agreed to the
formation of a committee for taking prompt measures to secure
the establishment of metropolitan free libraries.

At a meeting of the Court of Aldermen, on Tuesday, Mr.
J. H. Gresham was elected Chief Clerk at the Justice-Room of
the Mansion House, in succession to the late Mr. Oke, at a
salary of £S 00 per annum.

MUSICAL PUBLICATIONS.

Messrs. Ashdown and Parry, of Hanover-square, have recently
issued some valuable additions to tho pianoforte works of
Stephen Heller. Productiveness with this composer by no
means implies exhaustion of power, as evidenced by his latest
works now referred to, which are classed, respectively, as
od. 137 and 138. That last named is entitled “ Album pour
piano dddie a la jeunesse, ,, and consists of four books com¬
prising tsventy five short, characteristic pieces, full of beauty,
and well calculated to interest and improve young students.
The other work is a “ Tarantella,” full of vivacity and impulse,
and quite worthy of comparison with those earlier works of
tho kind which have long been among the most highly
esteemed of M. Heller’s productions.

Meters. Ashdown and Parry’s series of u Popular Glassies
for the Pianoforte,” selected, edited, and fingered by Mr.
Walter Macfarren, has now reached thirty-six numbers, and
comprises a valuable collection of masterpieces of the bv-st
schools. Among the many interesting pieces recently isaiicd
may be specified a charming sonata by Parodies, somewhat in
tho older style of Scarlatti; a very interesting sonata by
Woelfl, a contemporary of Dussck, little inferior to him in
genius, and quite his equal in science ; and some beautiful
variations by the last-named composer on a Saxon air.

Although but very recently established, the firm of Messrs.
Stanley Lucas, Weber, and Co. (New Bond-street) has alfcady
published a largo quantity of vocal and instrumental mu$ic,
some of which has previously been noticed by us. Among later
publications is tho elaborate pianoforte concerto of Joauhim
Raff, op. 185, dedicated to Dr. Hans von Billow, by whom it
was played at one of the Wagner Society’s concerts in Novem¬
ber, as noticed by us at tho time. The work gains on closer
study, and will be found well worthy of attention by pianists
of executive skill who are not deterred by its departures from
conventional form, and who desire to be acquainted with tlio
modem tendencies of German music as displayed by one of tho
most remarkable of the living composers of that country ;
nothcr being Johannes Brahms, whose pianoforte works have,
but only lately, been largely making way here. Brahms’s set
of eight songs, op. 59, just published by Messrs. Lucas and
Weber, with German and Kuglish words, will well repay those
who can appreciate and realise that deep and earnest sentiment
which has found its best expression (that is, in vocal chamber
music) in tho lieder of Beethoven, Schubert. Mendelssohn, ami
Schumann. Another remarkable living German composer,
with similar proclivities, is Anton Rubinstein, twelve of whoso
songs, with German and English words, after the Persian of
Mirza Sehaffy, have been published by Messrs. Lucas and
Weber. All these are distinguished by individuality of style,
and some have been sung in this country with success by
Madame Otto-Alvsloben.

Messrs. Lucas and Weber have also issued various vocal
pieces in a lighter style than those just referred to. Among
these may be specified “My home of yore,” by Louia Liebe
(with German and English words); “ The days of merry spring¬
time,” the brightness of which contrasts well with the senti¬
ment of the preceding song ; “The Beacon Fire,” a vigorous,
characteristic song, by A. Moul; “ Fiy, little song, to my
lovo,” by A. Cellier, who has produced a well-marked melody ;
“Dark and dreary,” a setting, by Madame ItudcrsdorfT, of
words by Longfellow, in which the eminent lady vocalist has
furnished music well suited for a singer of declamatory power ;
Mr. 0. A. Steed’s setting of the Rev. C. Kingsley’s lines, “The
Nightbird,” to a melody which, however taking in itself, ia
of somewhat too light a character for the serious nature of the
sentiment to be expressed; another song by the same com¬
poser and poet being “ Heigh-ho! ” in which the same tempo
(six-eight) is used, in this case with more appropriateness. Gt r
present list of Messrs. Lucas and Weber’s publications clo^is
with a graceful little “Berceuse” for the pianoforte, by Mr.
Charles Gardner, entitled “Chant d’Amour,” which affords
good practico both for cantabile and arpeggio passages.

Messrs. Lamborn Cock and Oo. have published Mr. Arthur
O’Leary’s “Morccau do Concert” founded on the popular
Scotch ballad “ There’s nae luck about the house,” the melody
of which is skilfully varied, and elaborated in a way to produce
a brilliant effect .when competently executed. That it requires
considerable mechanical powers in the player may be inferred
from its having been performed by Madame Arabella Goddard.
Mr. Charles Gardner’s “Deuxfome Impromptu” consists of a
leading melodic theme of agreeable character, supported by
a prevailing arpeggio accompaniment, divided between the
two hands in a manner that is not only effective, but is also
calculated to afford a very improving practice for students.
Besides these instrumental pieces, Messrs, Lamborn Oock ami
Co. havo published (as No. 49 of their cheap edition of modern
four-part songs) Mr. Westley Richards’s “Wako, dearest
love,” a flowing piece of vocal harmony set to lines by the 14to
Haynes Bayly.

Messrs. Augcner and Co. have now completed their octavo
edition of the pianoforte works of Robert Schumann, in fo'ur
portable volumes, beautifully engraved and printed, at tho
price of six shillings each. Wherever tho pianoforte music of
Beethoven, Schubert, and Mendelssohn is prized, there, also,
should that of Schumann be found, whatever may be-the
opinion of its merits or characteristics as compared with those
of the other composer’s named.

The same publishers’ edition of “Six Sonatinas for the
Pianoforte,” by Carl Reinicke, furnishes to teachers and pupil a
a valuable series of easy and improving pieces, tho right hand
part of which lies within the compass of five notes. The
interest and variety, maintained by the simplest meaii 3 , afo
worthy of all praise.

Amongthe many recent musical tributes to Russian nationality
are some issued by Messrs. Augener, including a bold and
effective “ Russian March,” by Air. Scotson Clark, and two
skilful transcriptions by Mr. Kuhe—with varied ornaments
and embellishments—of the Russian Hymn and of popular
national airs. Other pianoforte pieces by Mr. Kuhe arc two
transcriptions, in similar brilliant style, of Schumi^m’s songs
“Ich grolle nicht” and “Widmuug,” and Eckert’s “Echo
Song.”

Messrs. Augener and Co. have recently published some
reprints of excellent pianoforte-solo music, in handsome library
editions. Among these may bo specified three highly charac¬
teristic marches by Ferdinand Eiller(op. 55), and some admirable
pieces by Joachim Raff, including two graceful works entitled
“Am Loreley Fels” and “Abends,” and three excellent
operatic transcriptions from Wagner’s “ Lohengrin,” Weber’s
“ Der Freischlltz,” and Bellini’s “ La Sonnambula, ” in each
of which Borne prominent themes are happily and skilfully
treated.

A complimentary dinner was given, last .Saturday night, at
Willis’s Rooms, by the Middlesex Conservative Regii trafcion
Association, to Lord George Hamilton, M.P., on hip appoint¬
ment as Under-Secretary of State for India. The chair waa
taken by Sir Charles H. Mills, Bart., M.P., president.

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS.

LONDON i SATU11DAT, MAT J, tS7/„

On Tuesday night last the House of Commons debated
a question of first-rate importance in a maimer which
served to prove that it has lost none of its intellectual
vigour. The motion submitted to it for consideration
was that it is expedient that measures should be taken
to obtain possession of the Irish railways and place them
under Government management.” The debate was intro¬
duced by Mr. Ulennerhassett, member for Kerry, by an able
speech, afBrmatory of the proposition, which was folio wed by
as useful, dispassionate, practical, aud exhaustive a discus¬
sion as the House has been engaged in for a long time
past. The answer given by it to the question* submitted
to it for decision was distinctly in the negative. Sir M.
Beach, the Irish Secretary, expressed, on behalf of her
Majesty’s Government, a courteous but unequivocal
dissent from tho policy involved in the motion. A large
majority of the House, comprising both political parties,
thoroughly agreed with him, and, strange enough, the
motion was supported in the main by those members who
stand pledged to Home Buie.

The question is as interesting for what it indirectly
points to as for what it definitely comprehends. Should
the railways of the United Kingdom be purchased by
the Slate, and fee subject to the management and control
of the Imperial Government 1 This is the ultimate form
mto-which the question would inevitably shape itself
lor the present, no doubt, the scope of it was restricted
to Ireland; and it may very justly be contended that
there are peculiarities m the economic d and serial r n
cht ons of that island which forbid any hS conewi
that what may be found convenient and beneficial for
Ireland must necessarily be convenient and beucliciM

Still, it is impossible to adopt
in regard to one portion ;of

_ without creating a pre^dentH

which would powerfully tell in tho s.itno direction
upon the Ajthewyporiiouto. The large* tkopry^herafora,
to some considerable extent—or, at any rato, the wida?
application of it—will necessarily be affabfced by auy
decision arrived at in respect of the sn^lleA .The whole
subject has passed through several changes in the public
mind. At the commencement of the railway system in
this country, and under sanction of the opinion of the
late Sir Robert Peel, and, indeed, of most of the state*,
men of that clay, the idea that the construction ami
management of railways should be undertaken by the
State was almost universally scouted. Ten years
ago, or less, owing to the mismanagement, and, we
may add, the embarrassed financial position, of pri¬
vate aud competing companies, there hal grown
up a public opinion, if not entirely favourable to. that
idea, yet disposed to look it fairly in the face aud
to accept any conclusion supported by a preponderance
of evidence. There is now comparatively little dis¬
position to make a transference from private to public
hands of this kind of property. Tlie amount of- capita]
required for the change would be so enormous the
financial success of it appears so doubtful, the patronage
it would carry with it would be so dangerous, the incon¬
veniences which it would entail in the process of adminis¬
tration would be so numerous, aud the improvement iu
the management of such an immense concern would be
so problematical, that, whatever might have been the
case at the origin of the system, it is generally felt that
the purchase aud control of railway property by the
State at this time of day would be an operation involving
responsibilities and inviting dangers far too large t) be
seriously contemplated.

The question, however, as it relates to Ireland is
somewhat clilferent. There is no room for doubt that
the Irish railway system, as it stands at present, fails to
confer upon that country all the advantage which might
be reasonably expected from it. There are 1003 miie3
of railway in Ireland, and they are managed by thirty-
nine distinct corporations, each with its own directorate
and policy, its own secretary and official staff, its own
solicitor, its own engineer, and its own auditors. The
consequence is that railway charges, and especially for
goods, are so high as to prohibit to a large extent a fair
development of the resources of tho country. In
some cases, we are told, the rates charged are fifty
or seventy-two per cent of the value of the pro¬
duce conveyed. Of course, with so many managing
bodies, each competing with others to obtain tho largest
share of profit, there is a perpetual collision of interests,
and, unhappily, one which brings no gfhod tesulta to the •
public. Everyone knows how obstructive to commerce
it is when it has to be pushed through \ihe mesbwork of
a number of petty and oftentimes 'conflicting juris*
dictions. Even tho English public is not; altogether iguo-
rant of the inconveniences resulting Horn want of unity
in. railway management. Where tho tradio b great and
rapidly expanding the disadvantage has been partially
remedied by amalgamation. But in Ireland, with
some notable cxcei>tions, the agricultural and trading
resources of the country are neither extensive enough
nor powerful enough to enforce, or even to in¬
duce, this remedy. It would seem as if sons
<>h extra authority were indispensable for plaojog
the system upon a sound basis. It may, we think,
be taken for granted that easy and cheap nnm
of communication tend to the expansion of a people’s
natural means of livelihood, aud, in their torn, receive
additional profit from such expansion. But it is
extremely questionable whether the assumption of the
railway lines by the Imperial Government could b:
effected on terms 'which would not involve serious
financial loss ; and it is by no means demonstrable tint,
even if it could be made to pay, it would not draw
after it economical, commercial, social, and political con¬
sequences which the best friends of Ireland would most
earnestly deprecate.

We have already alluded, at pa&dtii, to one of the
most curious features of Tuesday night’s discussion. The
principal supporters of Mr. Bleunerhassefc’s motion,
whether by speech or by vote, were pledged supporters of
the policy of Home Rule. They did not appear to
appreciate the inconsistency of anticipating the revo¬
lution to which they look forward—a revolution which
has for its object ‘‘ Ireland for the Irish”—by placing
the possession and management of tho entire system of
internal communication in that country in th: haacb,
and therefore under tho exclusive control, of the Impend
Government. One of them, it is true, shrewdly objcffel
to the motion ol the hon. member for Kerry on ths
ground that, if it were carried, English employes wmld
instantly be substituted for Irish over every line. There
is no solid ground for such a suspicion; but thsre i*
some reason, one would think, why Irishmen who doslre
tlie management of their own national affairs, should
object to transfer to the Imperial Government so large a
share of Irish property, and so exclusive a p issession
of Irish means of transport. This, however, it is to
them to consider. Very little use was unie of the
phenomenon in the debate on Tuesday night. The
question was argued upon its merits. The tone which
prevailed throughout the discussion was dispassionate

and practical. The conclusion arrived afc by the House,
whether wibS or unwise, was decided; and we cannot
but hope that, the question having been set at rest—for
the present, at least—-those who are interested in rail¬
way property in Ireland w ill be the more inclined to avail
themselves of the ample means placed by law at their
command to dp that for themselves which they ask to
be done for them by the Government, and to devote
their own skill and energy to the accomplishment of such
changes and combinations as will most effectually
realise the hopes which they have vainly directed to an
unsuitable quarter.

WOMEN GRINDING CORN.

The two
the people

do not look as if they were sufferers by
Illustration, indeed, is from a sketch made by onr Artist; in
India some years ago ; but the scene which it represents is one
that may bo seen afc any ordinary time. We lately gave an
excmple of the manner in which the peasant women of the
south of Ireland are accustomed to work at “the stone of
sorrow,” when they w ant a few handfuls of Hour to put into
the pot for their hasty stirabout or “ prapeen.” This feminine
use of the double Grindstone, wo then observed, is of groat
antiquity in Ireland, as well as in India, and likewise in the
Holy Land. An old history of the neighbouring island, by
one Keating, published in 1723, cites a tradition preserved by
a Celtic minstrel, concerning the first invention of the grist¬
mill. It is said that the Irish King Cormac Ulfada, in the
third century of the Christian era, provoked the jealousy of his
Queen by his pre ferencc for a captive Princess, named Ciarnute,
daughter of the King of the Piets. The Queen be^an to treat
this lady with harsh severity. Ciarnute w’as compelled, a3 a slave,
to grind nine quarters of corn daily, w ith her own soft hands,
which were soon grievously bruised. Tho King, her indiscreet
lover, visited Ciarnute in her chamber, and pitied her distress
with this painful employment. She then desired him to make
peace with her father in Scotland, and to invite over from that
country a skilful artificer, who would bo able, she was sure, to
make her an engine for grinding corn without nsing her hands
to turn the heavy mill-stono. King Cormac did as sho wished,
and sent for the clever Scotchman^who came and presently
indented the first corn-mill. But, though Ciarnute thus
gained relief, sixteen hundred and fifty years ago, Horn the
irksome task of a barbarous process, not very different from
that practised by African negresses at this day, it seems that
theie are thousands of women in Irelmd, and millions in
Bengal, who arc still doomed to that nrimitive task of tlieir
sex. The man, their lord and husband—we here speak only
of the Indian household—is seen in the Imckground, Bitting
veiy much at his ease, and enjoying tho fumes of His pipe. It
may fie, indeed, that this indolent gentleman is not their
husband, hut only their master. Perhaps in the other two
men, whom we perceive with their shovels in the field beyond*
these women may claim an interest beyond that of fellow-
servants. However this may be, the scene is an instance of
one of the commonest experiences in the domestic life of an
Asiatic people.

The British Museum closed on Friday, and will be reopened

At the meeting of the London School Board on Wednesday,
a deputation presented a memorial praying that tho offer of
Mr. Peek should be declined, and another body opposed the
erection of a board school in Queen'a-gardens, Broinpton.
The propriety of accepting Mr. Peek’s gift was discussed
for over four hours, afc the end of which time the debate

was adjourned.-A portrait of Lord Lawrence, subscribed

for by the staff of the London School Board, and painted by
Mr. Edgar Williams, has been accepted by the board. Ifc is
exhibited at the Royal Academy, and will be formally pre-
eented at the first board meeting m the now offices.

The forty-fifth anniversary meeting of the Zoological Society
of louden was held, on Wednesday, afc the society’s house, in
Hanover-square. The chair was taken by Viscount Walden,
F.R.S., the president of the society. The total incomo of the
society in 1873 was i.'2S,099, being £1371 more than that of
1&72, arid exceeding the income of any previous year. Tho
tolnl number of visitors to the society’s gardens in 1S73 was
713,0-16, being 64,95$ more than the corresponding number in
1S72, and exceeding that of any previous year since the
gardens had been open to tho public. The number of animals
m the menagerie on Dec. 31, 1873, was 2187. Many of the
accessions during the year had consisted of specimens of rare
or little-known animals, of which full particulars were given.

On Monday the friends and supporters of the Baptist; Union
held their annual meeting at the Mission-House, Castlo-streefc,
Holborn, when the opening address was delivered by the Rev.
Charles Stove], of Commercial-road, Whitechapel. In. the
annual report, read by the secretary, the Rev. Mr. Millard,
allusion was made to the adoption of the new constitution as a
distinct sign of progress, and as the commencement, perhaps,
of a new era in the history' of the denomination. Reference
w as made to the action of the body in regard to tho Elementary
Education Act and to the marriage of the Duke of Edinburgh.
Thirty-one new churches had been formed. The number of
new chapels was thirty-four, supplying accommodation for
11,750 persons, at a cost of £77,957. Fifty-seven brethren had
been introduced to the pastoral office. In tho evening there
w as a Eoiide at the Cannon-street Hotel, at which the Rev,
Charles Stove! presided, and at which the speakers were the
Iievs. John Aidis, J. Owen, W. G. Lewis, and J. T. Brown.

Mr. Justice Blackburn on Wednesday delivered tho judg¬
ment of the Court of Queen s Bench upon the recent application
of Dr. Kenealy for a new trial in the case of tho claimant to
the lichborne estates. In the course of an elaborate review of
the points which Lad been raked, his Lordship said it must not
be supposed that by' entertaining the motion fora now trial the
Cour t expressed any opinion as to the competency of the Judges
to rehear and reconsider points of low already decided by the
same Court when sitting at bar. It would bo time to decide
this point wlun it became necessary to do so, but they were
deshous of guarding themselves against any inference in favour
of such a proposition from the fact of their having heard tho
application. They were all of opinion that no ground whatever
had been sliown for doubting that the proceedings from first to
last had been perfectly regular, that the verdict wa-j properly
obtained and was quite satisfactory, and that sentence was pro*
piriy passed by the Court sitting in banco. The whole of the
points raised were untenable, and the rule was accordingly
refused. ° J

NATIONAL SPORTS.

When wc complained, last week, of ,thc parsimony ami inac¬
tivity of the ruling powers at Newmarket, wc imagiued that
such wretched programmes as those of the Tuesday and
Wednesday could scarcely be equalled. There was, however,
a lower depth, and the Friday's card ought to be preserved as
one of the curiosities of racing in 1874. It was made up of the
appropriately-named Refuse Two-year-old Selling Plato, a £60
plate, and a selling stakes. Happily, wo were not there to
witness the sport (I), nor havo wc been able to meet with any¬
one who was ; but wo should imagine that the starter an 1 judge,
and one or two members of the Jockoy Club, had all the fan
to themselves. We are not one of thoso who wish to bgq tho
sacred heath disfigurod with a monster grand stand, or to have
it invaded by the motley throng who annually swarm to
Epsom ; indeed, it is too far from iown to be in any danger of
such a misfortune ; but wo do desire to see some radical
reforms, which would make the racing at Newmarket more
what it should bo at a place with a thousand horses in train¬
ing, and more worthy of such classic ground. The Claret
Stakes on the Thursday was a really interesting event. Gang
Forward made his first appcaranco in public since ho failed in
his St. Lcger preparation, and Flageolet waa brought back from
France to oppose him. The finish between those old opponents,
Fordham and Chaloncr, wa3 very interesting; but the former
got the best of it at the distance, and won cleverly by a hoad.
When ifc is remembered that Boiard has twice recently boaten
Flageolet in a canter, he must be quite unapproachable oyor
long courses, and we may confidently expect a French invasion
about Ascot Cup time. A Sweepstakes over the D. M. enabled
Peeping Tom to win his first race ; but, ai Rogal and Volfcumo
were liis only antagonists, and the victory was secured in
slovenly style, his City and Suburban status was not improved
thereby. M. Lefevre’a success with Roquefort in a smkll
sweepstakes was dearly purchased by the los* of tint; very
useful horse, who was claimed for £500; and Kaiser's virtual
walk over for a Biennial brought the day’s proceeding* to a
dose. Fordham won eight races during the week, including
walks over, and M. Lcfevre was as successful ai miunl at
2s cw market, securing no less than nine eyonfcs.

Epsom, with its large fields and exciting finishes, presented
a pleasant contrast to Newmarket,' and tho “comparisons”
which wrre made were particularly ' 4 odious.” Ninofcien ran
for the City and Subnrbau, but the roco was a good deal spfiilt
by an unfortunate accident which occurred in tlio course of ifc.
Just as tho horses swept round Tafcfccnliain Comer into the
straight, Bugle March (5 st. 7 lb.) struck infco ilia rails awi.foil,
bringing down Bullscye (7et. ‘lib.) and Petition (osk 10lb.)
also. From that point Minister (6 st, 11 lb.) held a. clear lead
till within the distance, when Aldrich (li st. 4iU), wh j was
beautifully ridden by little Morbey, caught him, aid Ayou
easily by a neck. It is almost unnecessary to add that Oxford
Mixture (7 st. 4 lb.) obtained a place. The winuer, who ij-fcho
propei ty of Lord Rosebery, only started once last year, when
he secured a maiden plate at Abingdon, and, having. boon
beaten in hie trial by Low lander, waa almost friondles-i iu tho
betting at 40 to 1. After the raco. Lord Rosobery'u offer
of £3000 for Lowlander was declined, though it is an unpre¬
cedented price for a hurdle-racer. Algebraist. 101b.), who was
said to be a Derby horse, was never prominent iu the
struggle ; still, Mr. Gretton is convinced that ho did not show
anything like his true form, and is determined to give him a
chance of proving this iu the Two Thousand next week.
Lemnos (7 st. 41b.) has grown into a beautiful animal ; but, like
nearly all the Thunderbolts, docs not care to go beyond tho
T.Y.O. Wychcily, the rider of Petition, was much injured by
his fall, anil the other two jockeys were a good deal shaken ;
while Bullseye broke his back, and had to be destroyed. The
Westminster Stakes produced a splendid struggle befcweua Lady
Rosebery, by Lord Linden—Violet, and Each mere. Tno former,
who was iu receipt of 51b., held the lead till q, few stridesfrom
the judgo's box, when Caclimere got up and made a dead-heat
of it, and a division was arranged. On the following day the
pair metagain in the Hyde Park Stakes—a new race, zo which
£500 was added—and Lady Rosobery, again in receipt of 51b.,
was beaten easily. In spite of her 10 lb. penalty, Ooulnnpre
won cleverly by a head, but was disqualified on tho ground
of a cannon, and the race was awarded 11 Prince
Batthyany’a Galopin, who is by Vedette—Flying Duchess, and
therefore an own brother to the very speedy Vex. The Great
Metropolitan proved rather a failure, as there were but six
starter*-*, and they only represented four stables. Aldrich (7 st.)
found the extra weight too much for him over this long and
trying course, and Royal George (7 st. 71b ) won pretty oasily
from Inquietude (5 efc. 91b.) M. Lcfevre thus having the morti¬
fication of running second for both the important handicaps of
the meeting.

Ifc has been arranged that Colonel Jell-Sliarpo shall hunt
the Essex and Suffolk country, with a guaranteed subscription
of £1000 per annfim.

Favoured by splendid weather, the Richmond O. C. brought
°ff its annual athletic sports last .Saturday. Thoro were im¬
mense entries for all the events, and the proceediu wore
unusually successful.

A most interesting billiard-match will be played at the
Guildhall Tavern, on Friday evening next, for £100 a aide.
The competitors will be W. Cook (the champion) and 1*. Taylor,
the latter receiving 300 points start in 1000. Both men are
apparently in their best form, and some very brilliant play is
sure to take place.

The annual general meeting of the members of the Arfc-
Union of London was held bn Tuesday morning iu the Adelphi
Theatre. The chair was occupied by Mr. Godwin. The report
stated that the amount of subscriptions for the year just closed
w as £11,311. The amount allotted for prizes was £tfl5l ; an l

The payments made on account of prospective works and lia¬

CIVIL WAR MONU¬
MENT AT BILBAO.

The evil habit of Spanish
political faction fighting,
which prevailed forty years
ago as it does now, has left
its monument in the chief
town of the Basque Pro¬
vinces. Bilbao, as we re¬
cently observed, was more
than once an object of con¬
tention, from 1833 to 1839,
in the warfare between the
Carlists and the ChriatinoB,
as the partisans of the late
Queen Isabella, then an
infant, were called from the
name of her mother, Queen
Regent Christina. The
army of the Queen, which
had the active support of
England, under Lord Mel¬
bourne's and Lord Palmer¬
ston’s administration, was
commanded by General
Eapartero ; that of Don Car¬
los, grandfather of the pre¬
sent Don Carlos, was lea by
Zumalacarreguy, a famous
Basque chieftain, in some re¬
spects like the ‘ ‘ bonny Dun¬
dee ” of Scottish Jacobite
history. The garrison of
Bilbao was reinforced by a
British Naval Brigade of
our sailors and marines,
under Colonel Wylde,
Captains Ebsworth, Lord
John Hay, Lapidge, and
Henry, who maintained the
defence, through a sixty
days’ siege, in the winter of
1835, with a high degree of
akill and valour. The siege
was at length raised by
enabling the army of
Espartero to cross the
river Nervion on rafts,
under cover of the English
guns, when the Carlists,
then commanded by Eguia,
after the death of Zumala¬
carreguy, were forced to
quit their positions on the
right bank. The monument
at Bilbao was erected to
commemorate those slain in
the repeated conflicts that
took place thereabout, when
Queen Isabella, now a de¬
posed Sovereign and exile,
was a little girl, but one
whose title was regarded by
many Liberal politicians as
the symbol of constitutional
liberty for Spain. The Don
Carlos of the present day,
who is now holding the
fortified lines of Somorros-
tro, three miles from Bilbao,
against Marshal Serrano and
the Madrid Government,
was in those days not yet
bom. His cause, was then
pretty much the same as it
is now—that of Absolutism
in Church and State.

MONUMENT AT BILBAO TO THOSE SLAIN IN THE 8PANI8H CIVIL WARS FORTY YEARS AGO.

THE

CITY OF RICHMOND

The City of Richmond wag
the last steamer built in
the well-known yard of
Messrs. Tod and Mac-
gregor, at Partick, on the
Clyde. They constructed
for the Inman Line alone
steamers of the aggregate
tonnage of 42,000 tone.
The City of Richmond is
in many respects similar to
the Montreal and other
vessels belonging to the
company. She is 450 ft. in
length over all by 43 ft.
beam, and 36 ft. in depth
from the spar-deck to the
keelson. Her engines, which
are on the compound prin¬
ciple, and of the largest
size ever made for the mer¬
chant service, are of 900-
horse power nominal^ but
are capable of working to
5000-horse power. Like the
engines of the City of
Chester, they are on the
high and low pressure prin¬
ciple, with direct * acting
cylinders, the larger 120 in.
in diameter, and tneBmaller
76 in., with a stroke of 5 ft.
They are supplied with
steam by ten boilers,
heated by thirty furnaces,
the boilers having surface
condensers, and all the other
modern means to ensure
economy in the consumption
of coal and efficient working
of the motive power. The
builders have departed from
the models of the other
boats, by giving two funnels
to the City of Richmond, so
as to afford additional
draught to the furnaces.
The funnels add to the
beauty of the vessel, by
aiding to fill up the great
space between the main and
mizen masts. This new
steamer is most strongly
built. Every modem appli¬
ance which can in any way
contribute to her stability
and her safety has been
employed. Viewed fore and
aft, her lines are so beauti¬
fully line that she resembles
a very large yacht. It is
only by an internal exami¬
nation that her enormous
proportions and her carry¬
ing capacity can he seen
or understood. She is
a full-rigged ship, and
carries sutheient canvas to
enable her to proceed on
her voyage, quite inde¬
pendent of steam, should
her machinery meet with
an accident or break down.
But such is the enormous
spread of her canvas that,

in a gale of wind, her crew, numerous as they are, would find
some difficulty in managing the sails without the steam-
winches with which she is provided. These winches are also
used for raising the anchors and for lifting and casting over*
board tho ashes which are formed in the stokeholes. When
in port, their chief use is ior loading .and unloading cargo.
Communication between the bridge and the engine-room and
wheel-house is maintained by Chadburn’s telegraph. In the
wlieelhousc is Macfarlane Gray’s steam steering gear, by which
the vessel may be guided "with tho greatest case even in tho
face of a gale of wind.

The steamer is built to carry 150 saloon and 1300 steerage
passengers), for the cooking of whoso food and for other
domestic purposes many hundred gallons of water are daily
required. This indispensable article is supplied by means of a
condensing apparatus which is capable of furnishing all that is
ever likely to be required by passengers and crew. It is
assuring to know that provision is made on board for extin¬
guishing that most dreaded of all calamities to sailors—a fire
at sea. Steam fire-annihilators are connected with every de¬
partment of the ship. In addition, there is a powerful steam
centrifugal pump capable of raising 2000 gallons of water per
minute, which could bo thrown upon afire. If, by any casualty,
a large bedy of water had entered the engine-rooms and
threatened to extinguish the engine fires, the pump could bo
employed to dear the water oif. Hanging in the davits are ten
life-boats of great capacity, furnished with the best appliances
for safely lowering in case of emergency.

The internal arrangements of the City of Richmond arc
very convenient. The saloon, as near midships as it can be
placed, is a splendid apartment, 44 ft. by 42 ft., fitted in a
luxurious and tasteful manner. The room is wainscoted in
bird’s-eye maple, with the outer framework of walnutwood,
in the centre of each panel is an elaborate example of inlaid
wood. The panels arc separated by Corinthian columns of
walnutwood, with gilded capitals. To eaeh window there are
crimson curtains, adorned with gold lace. The delicate painting of
the ceiling, the richness of the velvet coverings of the lounges,
the artistic arrangement of plate glass at each end of the saloon,
and the other decorations, arc all in perfect taste. They
combine to render the saloon as beautiful and as com*
foi table as any drawing-room could be made at
sea. The state-rooms are well ventilated and commodious.
They are supplied w ith hot and cold water, and arc fitted wfith
electric communication and £roral foot’s washing-basins. In
addition to the rooms already mentioned, are two bodies’
boudoirs, one on the upper deck and one immediately adjacent
to the saloon, For those w ho are fond of tobacco there is a
cajracious smoking-room. For all the saloon passengers an
additional promenade-deck has been constructed forward of
the funnels. But, in thus providing for the comforts of the
saloon passengers, the requirements of those in- the steerage
have not been overlooked. Their quarters, chictly on the
main-deck, are capacious and airy—the most important con¬
siderations where great numbers of persons congregate together
by night. Jn all tho arrangements made by the Ionian Com¬
pany, special attention is paid to the comforts of the steerage
pasurgejs, as the numbers carried by this line attest.

HIE QUEEN AND THE NAVAL BRIGADE.

The i ei poetic n by her Majesty of the sailors and marines of the
Royal Navy who so well bore thtdr pan, with three regiments
of the Amy, in tho camj>aign agri': .^ the A hantoea, was an
interesting ceremony. It took place on Thursday week
(St. George’s Day), in the Royal Clarence VictuaUlng-yard at
Ocspoit. The Queen, with lT’iffg£j& Beatrice, crossed from the
Isle of Wight in the sieam-yau-t/ Alberta, cominaudod by
1‘iincc Ldningeu, at half past two in the afternoon. Her

with ib*j Lords ci the Admiralty from London. He ivent on
Lcard the Royal yacht when it arrived at the floating pier.

The usual compliment of filing a salute from the guns of tho
Duke of Wellington and other snips in harbour was dispensed
with, by her Majesty's desire, though a salute had been fired to
greet the Lords of’tlie Admiralty a short time before, Tho
First jLcrd, the Bight lion. G. Ward Hunt, with Admiral Sir
A. Milfce, First Naval Lord, aud Mr. A. Egerton, Secretary to
tho Board, Admiral Sir* Rodney Mundy, commanding at Ports¬

Her Majesty wa3 further attended by Vice-Admiral Sir J. W.
Tarlcicn, Captain Sir J. E. Coinnurell, K.C.B., Captain the
lien. H. C. Glyn, Col. Williams, R.NL, and Capt. Lora Gilford.

The Royal Clarence Yard was decorated with flags on poles
ret up all round the open space, and joined together by festoons
of laurel. On the side next the harbour was an estrade covered
v.ilh tiimsen cloth having a yellow fringe, with some pots of
flower?, and an arm-chair: but this the Queen did not use. The
sailors, the marines, and the Marine Artillery, wer e drawn up
en three sides of the square. On the south side were the
uamtu, 327 in number, with sixty-one ofilcera, under Captain
Walter Ginlbe, C.B., who for some time commanded tho
Ka^al Brigade in the late campaign, and was wounded at
tho battle of Am.oafui, On the west side were about one
hummed men, in four companies, of tho Royal Marine
Aitillery, under Colonel F. W. Felting, C.B, On the north
ride were the Koyal Marines, above 200, of the Portsmouth,
Chatham, and Plymouth divisions, under Colonel de Courcy,
C.B. The remaining space at the sides was occupied by a
multitude of spectators. On tho right of the Queen’s raised
platform were inclosed places for the municipal dignitaries,
and for officers not on duty.

Tho Queen, attended by the two Lords of the Admiralty,
and l'rincoas Beatrice with the Duke of Edinburgh, walked
along these lines of the bravo seamen and marines, and looked
upon them witli gracious approval. Her Majesty was preceded
by the naval aides-de-camp, Captain Sir John Cowmerell,
Captain the Hon. H. Carr Ulyn. and Colonel Williams, with
Captain Prince Leiningen, Admiral Sir Rodney Mundy,
General Sir Hastings Doyle, and the stall. Her Majesty
Low cd in passing the officers not on duty. When she had gone
round, and took her place on the raised floor at tho south side,
the band of tho Royal Marine Artillery came forward into the
centre of the square, and the march past began.

The sailors came first, the pioneers, who cleared the road
to Coomasrie, leading the way, and Captain Grubbe marching
at the head of liis men. They went by in “fours,” for the
ground w-as not large enough to admit the usual order in column
ct < cmpanics. Then came the Artillery of tho Mariner, headed
by Colonel Fes ting, and tho light infantry under Colonel de
Ctircy. These troops began tlicir march in column of com*
paires, but, on passing the saluting-point, were compslled to
bie.’ k into “fours.” When all liad passed and tho square was
foin ed again as before, the First Lord of the Admiralty brought
up 11 c following officers for presentation to her Majesty

FRANCE.

(Front our Correspondent in Paris.)

Thursday, April 30.

The dulness consequent upon the vacation of the Assembly has
been enlivened this week by an extraordinary speech made at
Nice by M. Piccon, one of the deputies for the department of
the Alpcs Mari times, annexed to France, as will be recollected,
after the war of 1850. It appears that meetings had been held
at Nice concerning a proposed railway between that town and
Coni in Piedmont, which were followed by a banquet given by
the municipality of Nice to that of Coni. At the close of the
dinner M. Piccon made a speech in Italian, in the course of
w hich he is reported to have exclaimed—“ In presence of my
dear Italian compatriots my heart bounds with joy ; all my
Italian sentiments spring again into life. 1 have the
Him conviction that at an epoch which is not very
distant cur beautiful and heroic Nice — sacrificed as
the ransom of Italian independence — will once more
be united to the mother country. To bring about such
a result I am prepared to sacrifice all my own interests as well
as these of my family.”. The publication of this speech was
immediately followed by an outburst of indignation on the part
of all the Parisian and provincial journals, and in answer to
this M. Picccm wrote an equivocally-worded letter accusing the
journalist who originally gave publicity to his remarks of being
an eavesdropper, as the banquet was a private one, and denying
the exactitude of his version. Having subsequently heard that
the Government intended to ask permission of the National
Assembly to prosecute him for his unpatriotic, if not criminal,
language, M. Piccon has telegraphed to tho Due do Broglie
requesting him to defer any such resolve until he has heard liis
explanation. By way of protest against M. Ficeon’s insinua¬
tions, a veritable anti-separtist manifestation appears to have
aken place at the close of the session of tho Nice Couucils-
GcneraJ, the President assuring his hearers of the fidelityof the
Savoyards, and the members separating amid shouts of “ Vive
la Fiance! ”

Renewed intriguing is going on in favour of the restoration of
the Count de Chambord, and the language used by the Royalist
organs when speaking of tho present Government is growing
positively menacing. M. Ferdinand Boyer, another leader of
the Right, has followed the example of his colleagues, MM. de
la Roclittte and Lucitm Brun, by publishing a definition of the
Sejrtcnnat, and publicly vindicating the rights of the
Monarchists to intrigue for the return of their “much-loved
Prince. ” The dispute between the Government and the
Mamfilks Council-General has terminated by the latter
petitioning the Council of State for the restitution of its rights,
end by the Ducde Broglie announcing his intention of demand¬
ing ii<m the Assembly permission to "get rid of tho council
altogether. The recent sitting of the Commission de Per-
I 1 . 1 u.cnco was signalised by a hitter altercation ou the subject
betweentko Republican members and the Government, as well
a 5 by an animated discussion apropos of Prince Napoleon’s
recent journey to Corsica.

. The Figaro has been calling attention to a recent mania on
the pait of English people to commit suicide in the French
capital, fc’orne shoit time ago a Miss Eliza Levison threw her¬
self into the Seine, and about the same time a young English¬
men was discovered shot through the head. The deaths of both
Lad been brought about by their own act, and it was assorted
that a connection existed between the two suicides. A few days
altci wards there were two suicides at the IIAfcel St. Ptftersbourg,
in the Rue Caumartin. A young Englishman and his wile
ai rived from London during the afternoon, aud were shown to
an apartment; they declined any refreshment, aud did not
make their appearance that evening at the table-d'hOte nor
leave their room in the course of the following morning.
Eventually,' at two o’clock, the servants knocked at their door,
but no one answe red ; and the landlord at once sent for a com¬
missary of police and a locksmith. The door was forced open,
and the two young people w ere found lying dead in one another’s
aims. By the side of them was a small bottle, which had con¬
tained prussic acid; but there were neither letters nor papers to
furnish a clue to their names, aud the marks in their linen had
been unpicked. The bodies were removed to the Morgue,
and it has since been ascertained that their names were Charles
and Ami Hall, and that they formerly resided in Bath. The
husband, it seems, had already attempted to commit suicide,
last ycur, at Ilfracombe, and had undergone a sentence of im¬
prisonment in consequeueo.

The Correctional Tribunal of Lyons has just condemned
twenty-nine members of the International Working Men’s
Association to different terms of imprisonment, varying from
three months to five years, in virtue of the law interdicting
that society in France.

SPAIN.

Stormy weather has delayed military operations at Soznor-
rostro, but Marshal Seirano lias sent a telegram to Madrid,
announcing that he recommenced hostilities on Tuesday.
The cannonading ceased at nightfall, but was to be resumed
next morning. Advices received at Santander state that
Marshal Serrano would merely make a feint against San Pedro
Abanto while the real attack was carried out by Marshal
Concha upon Yalmasoda.

ITALY,

In Monday’s sitting of the Chamber of Deputies the debate
on the bfil-modifying the tax on personal property was resumed.
On clause 4, as amended by the Committee and accepted by
the Government, being put to the vote, it was rejected by 157
votes against 104. The Chamber subsequently, by 156 against
101, approved the clause as brought forward by the Ministry.

GERMANY.

The Emperor William inspected the 1st Regiment of tho
Gi oids, yetteicay week, in Potsdam. His Majesty went on
foot past all the three battalions, and was out two hours.

In Saturday’s sitting of the German Parliament the Press
Bill was read the third time aud passed. The Church Penalties
LjIJ ako went through its final stages, and was carried by 214
votes against 108. At a night sitting tho report upon the
administration of Alsace-Lorraine w'aa discussed, and a reso-
nticn passed declaring that the requirements of the law had
been satisfied by the presentation of the report. On Sunday
He Parliament was closed by the Emperor in person with a
speech, m which his Majesty reviewed the measures of the

with them, and his con-

ft? ^ ^ kad a prosperous future before it,

and that Europe Would find a pledge of peace and progress it
thecaro bestowed by the Parliament upon the mental. 0 moral,
and mate!ml strength of Germany. The telegram says that the
passage of the speech referring to the maintenance of peace was

much applauded. The ceremony concluded with cheers for the
Emperor, proposed by the Bavarian Minister.

Heir Camphausen, the Prussian Finance Minister, has had
the felicity of announcing a surplus of twenty-one million
thalers for the year 1873. The ordinary revenue w’Ai 24 Q
million thalers, and the extraordinary 1031 millions, the corre¬
sponding expenditures being 222 millions and 104 millions. As
a sequel to these disclosures, Herr Camphausen, on Tuesday,
submitted a scheme for the liquidation of the public debt. It
would take effect from the commencement of next year, and
effect an annual saving of over tw f o million thalers.

AU STUO-mJXG AB Y.

In the sitting of tho Upper House of tho ReichsraUi, on
Thursday week, the final estimates for 1874 were approved. In
Friday’s sitting the special debate took place upon the Govern¬
ment bill providing funds for defraying the expense of Catholic
worship. The bill was passed. The House also adoptoi, in
special debate, the first Ecclesiastical Bill, which has now bean
approved by both Chambers.

Almost entirely in the form in which it w T as brought forward
by the committee, the Convents Bill has passed the secaad
reading in the Lower House.

GREECE.

M. Bulgaria announced in tho Chamber on Tuesday, be r ore
any debate had taken place, that ho and his Ministerial
colleagues had tendered their resignation.

AMERICA.

The Senate has refused to pass the Currency Bill over tho
President’s veto. The voting was 34 for the hill and 32 against;
the majority was, therefore, smaller than the two-thirds
requisite to annul the Presidential action.

In Arkansas tho Republican Governor, Mr. Baxter, has
convened the State Legislature in order to obtain its decision
between him and Lis rival in the governorship.

More disastrous floods are reported. A telegram of Satur¬
day says the Lower Mississippi lias overflowed its banks. Tho
Onachila Valley, the town of Monroe, and twenty-seven
plantations are inundated. Thousands of persons have bean
rendered utterly destitute by this calamity.

IN -DIA.

The Viceregal telegram of the 25 th ult. from Calcutta con¬
cludes with the intelligence that there had been no fresh deaths
from starvation. In the more distressed districts Sir Richard
Temple’s new system of task Work in the villages instead of on
tho roads is being rajudly extended. He reports the public
health to be good, and the physical appearance of tho people
to be improving. Only in Western and Central Tirhoot is
there much aggravation of the famine.

One or tw o items of famine news were telegraphed by the
Times' correspondent at Calcutta on Thursday :—“ Tho rates
for task-work have been raised and the people are returning to
the relief works. There has been rain generally throughout
Tirhoot. Fires are of almost daily occurrence. The famine ia
extending among the cultivating classes at Durbungah.”

A Parsec merchant in Bombay, .Sir Cowassjea J ehanghier,

EOYAL ACADEMY EXHIBITION.

The great annual art-display which opens to the public on
Monday is. if we may trust a first impression, more than tuuAlly
varied and interesting, and of rather higher average Oi mint
than its predecessors. We cannot, of course, expect an
enormous advance to be made in a single year ; yet, if we travel
back in memory to the old gatherings in Tmtalgar-square, it
must be felt at Burlington House that art is progressing among
us ; it is striking its roots deeper, and bearing riper fruit.

In every large exhibition such as this disappointment must
be experienced in any given year by finding olcf favourites con¬
spicuous by their absence or making a less conspicuous mere act
of presence. On this occasion, for instance, many will regret
to learn that, owing to various causes, the important works
expected fiom Mr. F. Goodall, Mr. F. Walker, and others are
not to l e found. On the other hand, several well-known
members and Associates have surpassed themselves or have
seldom been seen to greater advantage. It is, however, tho
works {by artists still outside tho Academic ranks which, by
their number and diverse excellence, mainly convince us that
English art is taking a higher tone and standing. Thank? to
the liberality of the Academy in lowering the dado in the great
room (thereby considerably increasing the wall-space), an l to
.generally more careful hanging than formerly, the ever-increasing
proportion of deserving new aspirants have an improved chance
of meeting the public eye. This year, too, the Lecture-Room
is nppropmted exclusively to oil paintings, the architectural
drawings being transferred to Room IX.

Yearly the pressure on the Academy for a place on its walls
increases ; as many ns 5100 works are said to have passed, thi3
time, before the Council, though only 1G24 items are in the
catalogue. A yet larger number—i.e., over G500—are, it is
true, stated to have been offered for the present selection of the
French Salon ; but it should bo remembered that Paris has
practically no other exhibition of current art. In all probability
the number of works annually destined for tho Salon would be
largely exceeded with us if the Royal Academy were our solo
national exhibition—if there were no other bodies of artist*
possessing galleries of their own; no Societies of P a inters in
Water Colours, no International—though this last can scarcely
bo included, 60 many of the pictures having been previously
exhibited.

It is this enormous productiveness, with tho corresponding
demand and wealth which it implies, that is, perhaps, the
most encouraging circumstance relatively to tho prospects of
British art. Wcfdth is naturally selective, and extensive com¬
petition compels improvement. Still, however, there is much
need of education for our “ collectors/' as well as our artist*.
After making the circuit of these rooms, the visitor will pro¬
bably feel that our artists are imperfectly trained in tho
material, mechanical, and technical parts of their profession ;
they do not generally receive a thorough Academic education
in the—so to speak—grammatical and rhetorical laws of art
(which impose letters only on the feeble), nor do they undergo
that finishing process w hich the foreign artist passes through
as the pupil ol some master, or in intimate contact w r ith refined
aitistic and social circles. Nevertheless, wc do not find that
the aims of English artists are lower than those of most foreign
schools, or their sentiment in nit less pure. We have not at
Burlington EouEe, like our Gallic neighbours, scores of sprawl¬
ing nudities, acres of l.r.tric-pieces, miracles of ingenious labour
expended on boudoir trivialities and inanities, or the costumes
of galvainVcd historiixd dummies; we have not tho spcoioai
dazzle of the newest 1 Lilian .school; we have not a regiment of
landscapes ly paiuters, all, like the Germans, drilled to match ;
we have: not tho Loui-gccis insensibility to beauty and grace of
much Belgian ait: wc certainly have a great deal of weak
draughtsmanship and parish colouring; but the taste is not
. c f ten irrcckJmahly artificial or dull, and scarcely ever indecent.
Doubtless we have much to learn from the Continental schools,
and we are glad to see a spihikliug of foreign works in the
Piccadilly rooms, which afford some data, however scanty, for
instructive comparison, Notwithstanding, we arc arriving at
tho conclusion that every year there are solidcr grounds for
hopefulness regarding our native art. As a nation we are
unsurpassed in poetry, literature, science, commerce, and enter¬
prise. Why should we net bo equally illustrious in art ?

This year we can, at all events* point to Mr. Millais’s
works, and feel that it would be safe to challenge the Continui t
to preduce his equal in his own walk—nay, more, we con¬
fidently assert that he is one of tho artists who for posterity
will mark an epoch. The head of tho sailor-veteran in his
figure- picture and his two landscaped arc transcendent feat*
of painter-power, such as have not before bean equalled by
the aitist hmitdf, and, in our.opinion, they are worthy of any
tin e and any master. To one of his two landscapes (both of
which are “upright” in form) is given the appropriate line
from Wordsworth, “The Silence that ia in the lonely woods.”
A group of noble “Scotch Firs ” (08) irnsome Highland solitude
rear their bronze-coloured, mast-like trunks and bristling tufts
of sombre foliage, telling black almost against a ail very, lucent
*.ky. At their feet is a thick undergrowth of stunted oak aud
hushes, dwarfed by the giant ilia, with grasses and blossoming
epacris. Force of effect is the dominant quality in this laud-
ecape ;in tho other, called “Winter Fuel* (75), it is richness
of colour. Hero wo see a rude timber-wain laden with
stems and branches of the silver birch, tho metallic sheen of
the bark, cracking and peeling here and there, and splashed
with cchreous and purplish lichens, forming a splendid contract
with the reds and russets of the few sere leaves still clinging to
some oak-branches, to tho tangle of smaller firewood bound in
faggots beneath, and tho glowing autumnal hues of the Bira.va
Wood of Macbeth in the middle distance. The woodcutter's
little daughter sits with his dinner waiting the father’s return.
There is landscape-painting outside, and it may be beyond, this
absolute and ultimate realism—an infusion of imagination an l
feeling into the impression convoyed—but never was Nature
transferred, so to speak, before the eye with more truth or
force. There can, however, be no qualification whatever as
regards the male head in “The North-West Passage” (820).
Nothing moro can be required of art than to place a head, full
of character, instinct with passion—Nature’s masterpiece, in
short—so vividly on canvas that it shall teU the story of a lifo.
Any modifying ‘ ‘ treatment ” would be utterly out of place here.
The subject is an old Arctic explorer seated near an open window
affording a glimpse of calm sea, with a chart before him, and a
glass of grog (of old Jamaica—stiff) by his side, listening to a
fair girl who sits at his feet and holds his hand, as she reads
the log-book records of Ids former perils. At some stirring
rcssage he clenches his hand, and fires at the thought that
England yet should and must wrest the secret of the frozen
seas. The print of Nelson on the wall, the bunting hangings—
CYciythicg has a nautical aspect and savour. The face Of* the
girl is ahnoit too evanescent in the contrast of its delicacy with
the fuircwed, old, weatlier-bcaten countenance of the sailor.
•As fc-r the lAtt<n—to vhithAvc cannot refrain from recurring—
it is worthy of Tintoretto, or Velasquez, or Rembrandt; aud
the technical marvel of it is that, while these masters would have
rc-Iic(• cd <'a*k backgrounds and chiaroscuro for their relief, oar
Lnglieh painter attains quite equal force whilst preserving an

almost illusive effect of clearest daylight. Mr. Millais likewise
tends a charming portrait (484) of a little girl (one of the
ailist’tt children) nursing a pet dog; and a half-length-of a
rather elder daughter, in walking winter costume (152), rightly
entitled “The Picture of Health,” which is altogether exqui¬
site—see especially the subtle drawing aud modelling of the
sweet features, the lovely colouring of the complexion,
its fresh young beauty, all aglow with healthful exercise.
There are, besides, a x>orfcrait of M&sterNatkauiel Rothschild
(95), and a half-length of a lady seated in a pensive attitude,
with much of the feeling of Gainsborough, entitled “A Day
Dream” (1432). Mr. Millais is a typo of that individuality
which is characteristic of our painters, but might be less so if
they all went through the same routine of tuition. Ho cer¬
tainly owes nothing to academies, nor to other masters. He has
this year been more painstaking, and lias resisted the tempta¬
tion to indulge in executive bravura, by which ho seemed
likely to be Jed astray when he had emancipated himself
from the hardness of hi3 early works aud acquired full free¬
dom of hand.

Mr. Frith sends one of those largo representations of con¬
temporary familiar life with counties figures, which he selects
and arranges with eo much tact and intelligence, so as to tell
the story in all its minutiae whether pleasing or painful, vulgar
or “genteel,” and which ho paints so cleverly, smartly, and
nattily. True to his sympathy with popular experiences, Mr.
Frith has cho&eu a scene which many Londoners have witnessed
in their trips to Boulogne—i.c., “Blessing the Children”
(243), an incident in tho great annual procession in honour of
the Blessed Virgin at that favourite Anglo-French watering-
place. But the subject appeals Lo feelings more gentle, pure,
and humane than the “Derby Day,” the “Baden Kursaal, 1 *
and pai ts of the “ Railway Sfcati on. 7 ’ It will, we believe, prove
not less generally attractive on that account. Moreover, the
scene affords a wider scope for picturesque treatment, play aud
gaiety of colour, aud even greater variety of character. Tho
work has been a labour long and patient, but evidently one of
real enjoyment; the figures arc on a larger scale than in those
of Mr. Frith’s pictures with which it admits comparison;
and the extremely multifarious details are painted with
much initiative skill, and with n care that is only
too uniformly precise. By tak ing advantage of an angle
in the Boulogne High-street, the whole of tho procession, with
ihe waving banners, the canopied imago of “ Our Lady of
Boulogne, the ecclesiastics, the contingents—military, naval,
and civil—together with tho crowd of spectators (including
the artist himself) on the trottoirs aud at tho windows, are
brought into view. On our right the major part of tho proces¬
sion is receding towards the distance, and the perspective linear
and aerial of the retiring lines, both of the figures aud houses, is
capitally managed. More immediately in the foreground to our
lot t wo have the principal incident—tho Bishop of Arras in liia
sumptuous Vestments, preceded by his crosier-hfearor, and
chanting caucus, followed, by two vicaircs gtfmiraux, and
attended by other clergy, attached to his function, raising his
hand in benediction of the children, some of whom are alHiofced,
that are pressed from all sides by mothers and bonnes towards
Mm to kisp. liis robes. This gives occasion for some pretty
touches of shyness in the little oue3, and of joy in the mothers,
who k iss their cherubs after the consecrating ceremony. There
are, of course, some representatives of perlidc Albion, parti¬
cularly at a balcony, with the pious if not complimentary
inscription beneath, “Pricz pour l’Angleterre; ” there are
young lady zealots on their knees; aud there ia the inevitable
gcndaimo disposed to “*rim in ” an obtrusive boy past Wearing,
.with many other episodes impossible to enumerate vrithiu our
limits. We will only object that some of the faces seem to ua
tco ivory-Bmootu and clean—not tanned by sun and salt, or
modelled and characterised with the force of tho accessories.
Something of tho same remark applies to Mr. Frith’s lite 3 izo
silicic female, figure-subjects, though otherwise charming—viz.,
“ Wandering Thoughts ” (1G7), “Pamela” (74), “Asleep”
(420), and “Frayer” (1331).

Mr. Facd reminds ono of former triumphs in a pathetic
incident of Scotch cottier family lifo, which ho has rendered
feelingly and naturally though approaching perilously near to
sentimentality and claptrap. Tho title is “Forgiven” (227),
and the domestic drama oj which the situation depicted is tho
denoi* incut ia indicated in extracts quoted in the, catalogue
from a letter, real or imaginary, of the mother. Tho
daughter, having married in disobedience to her father’s
wishes, and been forsaken by a worthies* husband; has
now returned to the old home, and in grief and shame burio 3
her face in her hands. Her mother, in whose comely, kindly,
and sagacious (fid face the chief interest of the picture centre*,
Lends over her in pity, and gives a tacit welcome by extending
her arms to the babe on^ her daughter’s knee. But tho father,
still proud, though aged and broken, cannot quite relent, and
furns from the loaf lie was cutting to go out and calm
his resentment. A puppy, ft cat, and a kitten havo their
share iu the scene. If not quite so vigorous or as admirable
in colour as some previous works, the play of varied hues
is pleating, and the handling is descriptive yet unobtrusive.
A little more concentration with solidity seems desirable,
and might have been attained by the toning of parts. Mr.
Faed has two smaller figure-subjects, which are rather vague
in treatment.

Mr. Pettio justifies his recent election to Academic full mem¬
bership. His chief picture represents a scarlet-robed Cardinal,
lean, astute, and audacious, burning a document containing
“ A State Secret ” (223). the dangerous nature, tho rirnfithhi

(223), the dangerous nature, tho probable
treachery or possible treason, of which b suggested by the
grim care with which he holds the last remnant of tho <locu-
meat while the flame 13 turning it to tinier, and by the ter¬
rified air with which a monk iu attendance watches the iiro-
ceeding. _ The bronze on the tabic, of Hercules strangling
Amicus, is. also not without suggestiveness. The mass.of red
(mther artificially lighted, as we think, and with re fierce 3 too
etrong) cannot fail to catch the visitor's eye; the energy both
of the conception and execution will almost as certainly strike
liis imagination, and ho is not likely to readily forget tho
vengeful look of the Cardinal—watching tho combustion as the
A! aster of the Holy Inquisition might gloat over an auto-da-fd.
The cficct of the flame against the scarlet robo is an exceed¬
ingly clever bit of imitation. A smaller picture, full of spirit,
character, and humour, shown a young Cavalier drawing on a
tennis-court wall a caricature in charcoal of “ Old Noil,” to
the intense uelight of two other Royalists, whose natural
exclamation or cncohination, “Ho! ho! lio!” (13(»1). fur¬
nishes the title. An expressive mid graceful picture of “Juliet
mad Friar Law rence " (132) is a third contribution. Mr. Pettio
has made, a decided advance this year. Tho vigour of those
works is unquestionable, and even the first just escapes the
TTiefcdTnr.atio' exaggeration chargeable teserrffe previous efforts.
Wc can only object that the artist's skill of hand ia only too
palpable, end, therefore, apt to intrude between the subject
and spectator.

A'r. E. M. Ward continues, within the inti mi conditions of
| “genre,” to illustrate tJiemoic-than-cver neglected domain of
English history. The theme of liis largest picture—intelligently
selected and dramatically conceived as always—is that of Lady

Rachel Russell at Whitehall imploring of Charles II. her
husband’s life. The heartless, obdurate King stands fondling
liis spaniels as ho listlessly turns from the petition iu his hand.
His brother James, no friend to the condemned man, keeps out
of view* behind a scrceu ; iu the background the Duchess of
Portsmouth, who, it is said, was offered n bribe of £39,000 to
use her influence in favour of Lord Russell, is seen entering a
side door as a messenger is leaving a farther room with a letter
sealed with black, presumably containing tho order for execu¬
tion. A minor work shows Marie Antoinette sleeping her last
sleep in the prison of the Concicrgerie (43). In the water¬
colour room is the original design (7U1) for the mural-painting
at Westminster of “ William and Alary receiving tho Lords and
Commons.” Thero are also two small graceful single figures of
ladies, entitled “ Midsummer ” (482) and “ Christmas *’ (485).
Mi's. Ward is not loss felicitous than her husband in ohoico of
subject, and the choice is always perfectly appropriate to a
feminine pencil. Tliis time it 13 an incident iu the heroic
defence of Lathom House by Gharlotte TremouUle, Countess of
Derby. The Countess is seated with her children at table in a
room of the Eagle tower, to which, for greater safety, she had
retired; a shell penetrates, however, into the apartment aud
explodes ; yet she and her children, steadied by her courage,
remain collected, though an officer iu tho room is excusably
startled. Through the open door somo of the defenders are
watching the beseigera from a staircase.

Air. "Calderon has divided liis attention between that
romantic and picturesque fifteenth century of his oarly pre¬
dilection, when all the “damqzcla ” were lovely aud all tho
knights were handsome, and this modern time wlieu, acoordiug
to the artist, all the ladies arc still charming, and all the men —
well, they are literally or metaphorically nowhere ! His chief
work represents a beautiful and buxom “ Queen of tho Tourna¬
ment” (335) standing on a dais in a tapestried Hall, and placing
a golden chaplet on the brow of the victor of the joust*, who,
clad in steel aud wearing her primrose colour oU his arm, kneels
at her feet. Behind him arc his squires, holding Ms lauce aud
casque, and around stand a gay throng of spectator*. A
Emaller picture, wickedly entitled “Half Hour# with the Beat
Authors” (100), discovers threo young ladib&in muslin des¬
habille, reclining on a double sofa, two of thcnfiasleop over their
books, whilst a third, with lier back tpwards&s, seems to ba
making merely a semblance of reading. The somnolency of
the fair students must, however, iu charity, bo attributed less
to the influence of the “ best auriiors ' than to -tho heat of a
summer afternoon sun, the glare of which is not quite excluded
by the closed window-shutters. A half-length* portrait of a
lady is uotoworthy for tho pure and delicate times of tho very
fair complexion. Mr. U^deiqifis painting is sweeter aud moro
luxurious than ever; but we could wish for adittlo reality of a
sterner sort, by way of contrast.

Mr. Hoi aley proves that there is “r.torser stuff” iu liiui
than would be looked for by those who associate his name not
with his frescoes at Westminster, but with those lightest,
brightest, and pleasantest of pictures which he derives trom a
time when Old England seems to have been always cn ftir
galatife. We allude to his colossal composition celobrative of
“The Healing Mercies of Christ ” (128) in raising J .virus’s
daughter and the Widow of Nain’.i son, in restoring sight to the
blind, ar.d making the lame to leap “nu a hart.” Children,
also—representing tho Kingdom of Ho:ivon —together with
Saints John and i’eter, whose names are associated with similar
acts of mercy, surround the Saviour. The picture is painted
for aJarge lunette in the chnmd of Sfc. Thomas's H^xiital, a* a
gift of the late’ Sir William Tito. It is executed on canvas,
an the so-called .“marble medium, 1 ' invented and used by the
late Mr. Tarris in hi& restoration of the paintings of Sir James
Thornhill, inside the dome of St. Paul’s. Wax ia an essential
constituent of tho vehicle, which, unlike fresco, admits of tho
use of all colours ; but it must he a hat the effect is

rather cold and opaque. Mr, Ilorsley’a other pictures are in
liis customary vein. “The root’s Theme ” (3ft) ia a young
lady in a ravishing riding-costume of the eighteenth century^
whose charms assured^ warrant the complimentary verses just
placed in her hand by an enthusiastic youth resembling tho
poet Keats. Another picture presents saiuo unforeseen as well
an truthful “ Sunny Eficcts ” (52) from a large oriel, one of
which is the sleep that has fallen upon a young lady, and tho
advance ou tiptoe of a gallant who luv; evidently desigus on her
unconsciousueaa.

Air. H. S. Marks likewise* appears r.i a mural decorator in a
largo composition (97S) illustrative of “Wiater,” one of a series
of incdueval designs of the seasons for a billiarcl-rooin. It b a
snow scene : a serving-maid, standing on a doorstep, i 3 giving
ide from a leathern bottel” in a cup of horn to an itinerant
piper aid fiddler— the “waits,” perhaps, of the period. Tho
work is not, of .course, of high aim ; but it exemplifies the flat
treatment required in inuraUlecoration of its class. The motto
is “ A Qnnrt of Ale ia a Dish for a King.” A more elaborate
sample,of the painter’s rich humour ami keen sense of character
ia his sixteenth-century version, in oil, of the never-ending di*-

E utc between “Capital and Labour?’ (179). A baron, who ia
aving additions made to Iris hall, ia summoned by liia architect
to the workmen’s scaffold to listen to their grievances, as pre¬
ferred through their spokesman, tho master mason. The
“ capitalist” is a lofty but not implacable pcrsOimgo, and, to do
the labourers justice, they seem to prefer their claims civilly
enough; the freemasonry and trades guilds of those times
were, however, hardly a counterpart to the Union of tho modern
working man, so tho diaputo will probably end without either
strike or. lock-out. The scene of another amusing picture ia
the interior of a milliner’s shop, with the male proprietor recom¬
mending to a lady customer a hat, surmounted by the tall
steeple of the fifteenth century, a3 “The Latest Fashion”
(125); a strolling gentleman in long robo smiling sardonically
over “A Page of Rabelais ” (388) is a fourth contribution by
the same painter.

Air. Hodgson once more gathers his pictorial materials from
the North African sea-board, irnd, although ho has nothin" per¬
haps quite so irresistible as his “Jack Ashore,” there is° little
in the exhibition to compare with his pictures in their com¬
bination of racy humour, physiognomical, truth, aud genera!
technics completeness. His largest work (28G) represents the
Lay of laugiers, seen under a brilliant and beautiful effect of
sunlight. H.Al.S. Sultan ha3 just arrived in tho offing and tho
volumes cf smoko from the salute of her groat guns drift
majestically towards the horizon. Tho difficulties of tho
Taiigiercse in returning the salute are indicated iu the fore-
ground, where on the ramparts of a fort a black slave ia com-
peilcd, ocspite his infinite reluctance, to try to fire a disused,
rusty, old gun, corded to a moat primitive gun-carriage. 1 ho
dubious anxiety of the bystanders as to the result of the experi¬
ment ia intimated by their extreme shyness of the gun. In an¬
other picture we have a Riff market-scene, with a girl—a Jewess
because unveiled—bargaining for somo very “ Odd Fish ”(3GS)
at a fishmonger’s stall. Smaller, but not ies 3 admirable, is Mr
Hodgson 8 little picture (150) of an Algerian knife-grinder*
whoso expression alone, with his lip* twisted tightly awry as
kescrapea away on his wheel, is enough to turn one’s tecta
on cage.

Here we must pause for the present.

ALBERT DUEER SKETCHING ANTWERP.

There is a personal interest, besides what belongs to tho history
of art, in the anecdotes which are told of Albrecht or Albert
Diirer, the good painter of Nuremberg, who sympathised with
the Protestant Reformation in Germany, and who sutiered con¬
siderable domestic anxiety from the unsympathising temper of
his wife. Two English works of biography—those of Airs.
Charles Heaton and Air. W. B. Scott—have been devoted to
this subject, and we need only refer to them for whatever in¬
formation any of our readers may now require. In July, loiO,
being then nearly fifty years of age,. Albert Diirer visited
Flanders, and sojourned a few months in the city of Antwerp,
where he sought the patronage of the Lady Margaret, Duchess
of Savoy and Regent of the Netherlands, sister to the Emperor
Charles V. Among the works he produced or commenced at
this period was a panoramic view of Antwerp, sketched from a
barge on the river Scheldt; and he appears to be engaged in
this task of sketching, accompanied by his _ host and other
friends, in the picture which has been copied for our En¬
graving. This picture, by Mr. J. Neuliuys, of Antwerp, was
exhibited, a year or two since, in tho Belgian National Exhi¬
bition held in that city. It is said to be a faithful representa¬
tion of the old-fashionod costumes and architecture of Antwerp
three hundred and fifty years ago.

MAY DAY IN THE OLDEN TIME.

The Londoners of 400 years ago, in the reign of that popular
monarch King Edward IV., who liked feasting with aldermen
and iiirting with their wives and daughters, used to keep their
first day of Alay in the merriest fashion. At midnight of the
last of April they would assemble in parish bands or companies,
and take their way out of the City gates across Moorffelds to
Islington, to lligligato or Hariughay, or through Glerkenwell
westward to the Royal park of Marylebone. Here they would
cut and collect an immense quantity of birch bougli3 and
branches of other tree3, so beautiful at this season with their
fresh green foliage. After a night of such pleasant work,
having also felled and stripped a straight fir-trunk for the may-
pole, they would march back to town with songs on the glad
May-Day morning, while the maypole would be drawn by a
team of oxen, each beast wearing a garland of dowers on its
horns. The grandest of the City raaypoleH was erected on
Cornhill, in front of St. Andrew's Church ; and, because the
pole or shaft was taller than the steeple, that church was
called St. Andrew Undershaft. Flags were hoisted at the top
of the maypole : it was bound about with leafy branches from
the ground to the summit; and a ring of arbours, construe bad
of these spoils of the greenwood, WA3 mado about the extern?
porised theatre in the City street. The first business there par-
formed was to elect tho Liord and Lady of May, win were ex¬
pected also to play the parts of Robin Hood and Maid Marian.
Those of Little John. Friar Tuck, and the other familiars of
Sherwood Forest, were not left unrepresented. Besides the
romantic outlaws of popular ballad story, there was a jester
or witty “ fool, 5 'a juggler tossing his gilt balls and Bharp
swords, a hobby-horse to caper and cur yet, anl a troop of
morris-dancers, in tlieir antic dress with chiming bellB fastened
to their caps and jackets. The milkmaids, too. came out on
Alay Day, each bearing a trophy of borrowed silver or pewter
cups piled on her wooden milkpail, and singing a song, for
which largesse WAS freely given. It was a scene of continual
festivity and revelry throughout the day, and in the evening
there was a blaze of bonfires. An old rhymester speaks of
Alay Day ns follows :—

IIo ! you, I say, ox this same noble town,

Come lift aloft your velvet and h lipping off your gcuvn,

Willi bells on legs, and napldna clean unto your shouldera tied.

With scarfs nndaavt -r.i :.s you please, ami Heyfor our town !*’ cried,

In the reign cf Henry YIL a May-Day entertainment at
Greenwich was got up by some lords, knights, and gentlemen
of the King’s Court, who exhibited feats of tilting, fencing,
archery, and wrestling, 44 as servants of t.e Lady May, and in
honour of that month.’* IIall’s Chronicle relates how, in the
seventh year of Henry VEIL, that King joined a company of
200 tall fellows, all clad in Lincoln green, on the high ground
of Shooters’ Hill, and saw their skill with the bow, Queen
Katherine being among the spectators. This was on a May-
Day morning. The anniversary festival of this spring-tirni
advent was still kept up after the Reformation; and, though
suppressed by the Puritans in the seventeenth century, vr.it
revived under Char! 3 II. The chief maypole was in tho
Strand, nearly opposite Somerset House, or where St. Alary’s
Church now stamp. It i? the subject of a well-known allusion
in Pope’s “ Dunqttid.” Our Illustration of Alay Day in the

SKETCHES IN PARLIAMENT.

There have been in the last few days some remarkable appear¬
ances in the House of Commons. Those who remembered Mr.
Smollett when he sat in. Parliament up to 186S were prepared
to welcome liis reappearance, having lively recollection * of
many a laugh raised by him ; and probably when his a.lveut
was known gossip about hi3 peculiar powers was sufficiently
current to cause the neophyte members to expect a hilarious
scene. Besides, as his motion was an impeachment, on consti¬
tutional grounds, of Air. Gladstone in the matter of the sudden
11 dissolution,” it was to be expected that that right hon. gentle¬
man would be on his mettle, and would execute a grand act of
elocution. Nevertheless, there was no eagor crowding of mem¬
bers and strangers at the early hours, and when Air. Smollwtt
rose there was only an ordinary assemblage. At once those who
formerly knew* him recognised the old, sharp, metallic touea of
his voice, the snapping of his words, ancl the epigrammatic
turn of bis sentences. .Soon, too, there came shooting out,
like discharges from a gun, bits of that biting humour and
sarcastic illustration for which he was always famous. But it
seemed as if the four years of exile from the House which he
has gone through has curdled every drop of the milk of human
kindness which he once possessed, and which formerly tended
slightly to dilute his caustic rhetoric. Now it was all gall and
bitterness, and even when humour mingled with the acid it
scarcely subdued the rasping effect which was generally pro¬
duced. In fact, despite the la ughter which was inevitably
raised, it was universally felt that tho seriousness of
an attack on a distinguished statesman wa3 marred
by the profuse use of j)hrasoology which even the wit
with which it was impregnated did not take the speech out of
the region of “Billingsgate.” The conseqnence was an utter
failure. These who laughed must have folt annoyed with them¬
selves for giving way to mirth when they ought to h*vo been
indignant ; and doubtless everyone was glad to hear the state¬
ment of Air. S mollctt that he had token counsel with no due, and
that his motion (as woll as hia speech) was his alone. This
was proved by the silence and the pause which ensued when he
concluded, and the shrinking of everyone from seconding tlie
motion. It was saved from on ignominious collapse by the
interposition of Mr. Mil alley, who, moved by that spirit which
induces him to take up causes with which no one else will have
anything to do, performed the formal act, which rendered the
resolution a living Parliamentary thing and capable of being
dealt with.

It would have been better, perhaps, for Mr, Gladstone’s
sake, if Ike motion had fallen through amidst the contempt of
the Houso ; .for his exoneration would thus have been far more
complete than it was made by his speech. He had a rehearsal of a
nciv style of speaking the evening before, when, in commenting
on the Budget, he woe gentle, even subdued, and, when
critical, kindly. Now he at once and in his first sentences be¬
trayed that he was deeply stung by the organised attack upon
him. He thought it w orth his while to break a moth upon a
wheel by heaping bitter sarcasm wrapped up iu heavy banter upon
poor Air. TVhalley, and renewing that sort of thing again and
again. In regard to his treatment of Air. Smollett, no doubt,
ho was excusable for anything he may have said on such
provocation as he had received; but it is just questionable
whether the more dignified course would not have been to have
taken higher ground in his reply, and not to have condescended
srn faintly infused with jest; thus in a manner,
.and to a slight extent, adopting the style which had J?den
practically condemned by the audience in his aggressor. It
would have been better, too, it he had not suffered himself,
once at least, to rise into a very whirlwind of passion—which,
possibly, was just what Air. Smollett wanted to produce.
However, when he concluded, sympathy was expressed for him
by the warm cheers of tho Liberals ; whilo tho silence of the
Ministerialiste, and their acquiescence in the resolve of the
Opposition not to allow' the motion to bo withdrawn, but to be
summarily negatived without further discussion, was equally a
proof of tlie fiasco of Mr. Smollett.

An idea which has been prevalent that the new House was
deficient in Parliamentary “Yoricks,” who would now and
again set the assembly in a roar, lias 'been to a great extent dis¬
sipated by one or two appearances of nascent legislators in the
fuEuy line. Note ha* before been taken of the development
of a rough and rugged humour in Mr. Davies, of Cardigan, who
plays the part of the honest, jolly, and facetious working mau—
which is in the minds of some folk the ideal of that personage—
with great vigour and decided intention. There has been another
dubnt sn the facetious style, -which has been a stupendous success.
One night when the question of the purchase of Irish railways was
in cos , and when out of tlie plump of Home Rule Irish

members came demands for the realisation of that project, some
whining and some blustering, there arose out of their midst a
gentleman of lofty stature, very large girth, and a handsome
countenance, who addressed the House in a voice “ loud as a
trumpet with a silvery sound.” At once it was percoived that
here was a bold and a jovial spirit, who coukl declare serious
and assured opinions under cover of uproarious humour ; that
here wa3 a gentle man € * who could not ope hia mouth but out
there flew a trope ; ” and whose bluff and rotund manner was in
felicitous keeping with hi3 grand personal configuration, a 3
well as with the decisive and practical character of his opinions.
No written description can give any notion of the vocabulary
and tho demeanour of Alajor Purcell O’Gorman, and all that
can be done towards personifying him is to say that he has
proved that some of those pictures of overflowingly humorous
.and original Irishmen -which wore drawn by Charles Lever are
sometimes been supposed, exaggerated, but that it
wotud take two or three of tuese characters rolled into one to
coirx* up to the standard and compass of the new member for
\\ atc-Word. Ju the last Parliament it was thought that Mr. Dela-
lumty was tlie acme of Irish eccentricity in phraseology and de-
ineouour, but he was faint and shadowy and feeble to the
geutiemail who has succeeded him in tho representation of
Vi aterford, and v. ho wiU probably amply supply t!io places, as
humourists, of both tlie late members forthat city, Air Dekhunty
and Mr. Benia 1 Osborne. Once Major O’Gorman was corrected
by the Speaker ; but it was by misapprehension, for, happening
to use a pbraso w hich is proverbial in Ireland, and winch is
said to have originated with Cromwell, in which an alternative
was given to those to whom it wa3 addressed to go to Connaught
or a place which by itself is not mentionable to ears polite, the
Speaker caught only the word bv which that place is designated •
and as that phrase, when sounded in its simplicity and without
‘‘ Connaught,' 5 is so brusque as to bo inadmissible in ordinary
discourse, it is also decidedly unparliamentary, and was there-
fore noticed from tho Chair. Of course if tho whole of the
words had been heard, tliev would have been treated as a quota¬
tion from a distinguished personage such as Cromweff and
have been allowed to pass.

Certainly, in the list of remarkable appearances Mr.

Opp^tunity was afforded him by a motion about British policy
cn the Gold Coast, which he propounded, to give evidence 2f

the qnaiity that Is within him, which is a quality far above
mediocrity and nearly reaching to excellence. He is a parson-
able gentleman, with a good voice, though rather wanting in
flexibility; fluent, but by no means wa3hy, in speech ;
assured, though not dogmatic in opinion ; and he had so filled
himself with liis subject that he spoke for two hours without a
check, and in a way to hold attention even for that length of
time. It happened that he spoke at a period of the evening
when the House is alwavs very thin, and had an audience
which was small and, perhaps, not as.fit as it might have bean.
The reappearance of Air. Hubbard, after his five years'
enforced Parliamentary seclusion, is noticeable ; and it may be
said that he seems as fresh, spruce, and active in body, and as
quick, perceptive, and suggestive in mind, as ever. The
Parliamentary resurrection of Mr. Fawcett by his having
become member for Hackney was notable in the recent history
of the House. It happened that when he came to take hU seat
the circumstances of the House were such that it was easy for
the Liberals to make his entiy a triumphal one.

PARLIAMENTARY SUMMARY.

HOUSE OF LORDS.

At the instance of the Duke of Argyll, the policy and
administration of the late Government were considered yester¬
day week, and both wore approved by tho Marquis of
Salisbury, but a little criticised by Lord Napier of Ettriok,
while I.ord Lawrence gave some practical opinions on the beat
modo of dealing with the situation.

Lord Delnwarr, on Alonday, obtained a commission to
inquire into railway management and accidents ; and the Lord
Chancellor’s Land Bills were committed pro forma for the
insertion of amendments, thoactua! consideration in Committee
to*be taken on Monday next.

'It was ascertained from the Government, on Tuesday, that
ibe troops who were employed on the Gobi Coast will havo
divided among thorn some of the gold dust rendered by Kiug
Coffee, and that honorary distinctions wiil be conferroti upon
them ; Captain Giover, in particular, receiving a knight com-
manderskrp of the Order of St. Michael and St. George. Lord
Sidmonth was informed that the Government is not iu a posi¬
tion to modify the Education Act so as to permit districts in
v.Jiich school-board schools have failed to return to the volun¬
tary system.

On Thursday Earl Bcauclianip (the Lord Steward) read her
Afajesty’s reply to the address to the Crown agreed to on
Alonday last. It was as follows i—-*-1 have received your
address praying that a Comirxiaiaa should bo appointed to

possibility of removing such causes by legislation, aud I will
give directions that a Commission shall be issued for tho
purposes w hich you have suggested.

The principal matter, yesterday week, was a motion of
censure, by Air. Smollett, on the late Government for tho
ulnupt dissolution of Parliament. The lion, gentleman stated
his case in a speech of mixed caustic humour and invective, ami
he found a seconder in Air. Whatley. Air. Gladstone replied,
vindicating the course he had taken iu dissolving Parliament,
and retorting with much force on Air. Smollett. Without fur¬
ther discussion the motion was negatived. The Civil Sftrvloo ■
Estimates were taken in Committee of Supply, and tho whole
of the votes in class I wore aj

On A1 oiiday the policy ox tins country in regard to the
a&tmnistiation of the settlements on the Gold Coast was dis¬
cussed. Mr. Cro^s introduced a bill amending the laws
relating 'to the sale and consumption of intoxicating liquors.
This he proposed to do by enacting, first, that the hours for
closing public-houses should be fixed by statute, and not left
to the discretion of the magistrates. It was not intended to
alter tho hours in the cases of beer-houses, nor those ofpubliu-
houses on Sundays ; but on week-day 3 in London all public-
houses would be placed on the same footing, be closed at half-
past twelve o’clock, and the system of exemptions put an end
to. Iu country towns with a population of over 10,000 the
time for closing would be half-past cloven, andinrural districts
eleven, ns at present. TVith regard to convictions, ho pro¬
posed that for a first offence the amount of the penalty should
be left to tho diEoretion of the magistrate, that tho indorse¬
ment of licenses should be ojitional, and that there should he
no police supervision after a conviction unless ordered by the
Judge. Further, the adulteration clauses of the Act of 1872
were to be repealed. Provision would also be made as to occa¬
sional licenses at fairs and races, and magistrates would be em¬
powered to grant provisional licenses to persons desirous of
building public-houses, after inquiry made into the want3 of
the district. After a short discussion the motion was agreed
to, and leave given to bring iu the bUL The Real Property
Limitation Biil, the Land Titles ami Transfer BUI, and the
Real Property Vendors and Puvchiicers Bill were passed through
Committee without amendment. Tho Local Government Pro¬
visional Orders Bill was read the third time. Sir Stafford
Northcote stated the total amount of the National Debt at
£779,294 000, of which the sum of £713,514,009 is funded, the
sum of £4,479,000 is unfunded, and the sum of £52,000,000 is
iu the foim of terminable annuities.

A long discussion took place, on Tuesday, upon a motion for
the pure Ease of the Irish railways by tlio State, which* was
rejected by a large majority. The Building Societies Bill aud
tho Parliamentary Elections (Returning Officers* Fees BiU) were
read tlie second time, and ordered to be referred to Select Coin-
mi tteen ; the Game Birds (Ireland) Bill was passed through
Committee ; the order for committing the Municipal Privileges
(Ireland) Bill was discharged, on the motion of Sir AL Beash,
and the hill referred to a Select Committee; and the Betting
Bill was read the third time and passed.

Colonel Hogg moved the second reading of the Metropolis*® 1
Buildings and Alan age ment Bill on Wednesday. It was by

g eneral consent read the second time and referred to a Select
emmiltae. Air. AI‘Lagan then moved the second reading of
the Game Laws (Scotland) Bill. Colonel Alexander move a a*
an amendment that it he read the second time that day six
months, and upon a division the bill was thrown out by 192
votes against 127.

. P n , Thursday, in reply to Air. TV. Egerton respecting the
high duty upon British salt in France, Mr. Bourke said that
negotiations were going on between her Aiajesty’s Government
and the French Government upon the subject, under tho treaty
of commerce. ^ On the subject of tho Suez Canal Company in

of the claim, that Dh Livingstone had in his explorations spent
at least £11,CM) of his own money. Lord Derby repliel that
he had no doubt the memorial would be favourably received.

SKETCHES IN COOMASSIE.

Three ske tches made in the Ashantee capital 'by our Spep’ab
| Artist with the* military expedition finder Major-General .Sir'
Garnet Wolseley are engraved for this week’s paper. , One is a
view of the interior courtyard of King Coffee Calcallee’s palace.
We boirow apart of the description of this building and its
contents from Mr. H. M. Stanley’s newly- published volume,
“ Cccn:»f$ic and Magdala; the Story of Two British Cam¬
paigns in Africa,” which came out last week. Mr. Stanley first
(icscril f a the horrid ecene in the grove, called the Sainnim-
pemc—that is to t ay, the “ Home of Ghosts”—where tin
unbiuicd copses of the victims slaughtered by a cruel sup^r-
fetiticn are left to decay, not far from the market-place. Til's
was the tubject of our two-page Engraving last week. Mr.
Stanley goes on to say :—

“ Fum (his Golgotha we proceeded to the King’s Palace.
It wsa situated about 300 yards off, and occupied a level area
in the valley or depression dividing the two eminences on which
Ccon aerie is situated. The first view of what was designate 1
* the Palace ’ was a number of houses with steep thatched roof*,
clustered together, and fenced around with split bamboo stake*,
occupying an area 400 ft. or 500 ft. square, at one corner of
which rose a square two-storied stone building. In appearance
it was like any of those merchants’ residences which wo sa v
at Cape Ccast Castle. The first court we entered was similay,.
thougli larger, to the court of the King of Adansis
residence at Fomannali, already described. The lower part t f
the lofty w alls of stucco was painted red, tho upper part white.
The designs, diamcnd-shax)oa, scrollwork done in alto-relievo,
were bolder than anything of tho kind we had yet seen. The
columns were square, with ample pediments and capitals. The
alcoves were spacious, probably 14 ft. long by 8ft. deep. Other
courts were after the same style as this ; but the columns were
circular and smooth in some, while others were curved.

“ The alcoves were littered with curious articles. One co u
taiiied a large number of war-drums, stained with blood, and
decorated with ghastly trophies of war and triumph, with
human skulls. Another contained a number of cutlasses, ru dy
sabres without scabbards, accoutrements plated with gold, old
worn-out guns with bands of silver and gold, horse-tails, a 1 1
wisps of elephants’ tails ; a great number of ivory horns, e vffi
with its human jawbone ; and in another we beheld any num >er
of tall umbrellas, of silk, satin, velvet, crimson damask, and
W’collen cloth, bespangled with bits of gold and silver, or fringed
with small gold, silver, and brass bells.

“ On proceeding finally to the stone structure, w hich is t ie
King’s j>nvate residence, we found the interior court aud 1 10
rooms opening upon it filled with curious, but intrinsiealty
valueless, articles ; while the upper 3tory contained much
valuable plunder. The following hastily-written inventory
taken on the spot will serve, better than any description, to
convey information as to the nature of these articles:—\
breakfast and dinner sendee of silver, with English cutlery,
Bohemian vases, large glass goblets, strings of the valuable
aggry beads, gold nugget, anct bead bracelets and necklaces,
piles of faded Kidderminster carpets, Persian rugs, leopard
skins, fetishes and charms covered with leopard skins, Euro¬
pean regimental drums, European and native swords, yata¬
ghans and scimetars of Arab make, gold aud silver headed
canes, regalia Btaves; gold-topped royal stools, beautifully
carved, and ornamented with gold and silver; seven gold
masks, each weighing several ounces; golden toys, damask
bed-curtains and counterpanes, silk aud cotton cloths, enor¬
mous silk umbrellas, African teak boxes and trunks, English
engravings, glass bottles, an oil-painting of a gentleman, silver
tankards and cups, skull*caps of leather and velvet, leather
shakccs, an old uniform of a West India soldier, gold-decorated
muskets ; a sword, the gift of Queen Victoria ; several knives,
with bits of gold on the hafts ; sandals, gold-plated ; a pistol
or tw'o and brass blunderbusses, porcelain aud china ware, com¬
mon European dc-lf ware, prints from illustrated newspapers ; a
ccpy of the i .ondon Times, Oct. 17, 1543 ; a copy of a Bristol
new spaper, cf the same year, and so on, ad infinitum, valuable,
curious, and w orthless things heaped together in every room.
An old curicsity shop could not exhibit a more miscellaneous
variety of things than the interior of the King’s bed-chambers,
liia private apartments, and store-rooms contained.

“ From the flat roof of the palace, which is surrounded by
battlements, a very extensive view of the city aud the sur¬
rounding forest and swamp was obtained. During the day the
prize agents went into the palace and the principal chiefs’
houses, aud proceeded to pack up the mo8t costly thing3 they
could discover to sell for the benefit of the army after its
arrival at Cape Coast. The trophies were sold at Cape Coast,
and netted about £5000. Beyond tho King’s Palace and the
Golgotha, nothing else of interest remained to be seen.”

NVe take this opportunity of stating that Mr. Stanley’s
volume, “ Coon;assie and Magdala,” published by Messrs.
Sampson Low, Marc ton, and Searle, is illustrated, by permis¬
sion of the Proprietors of this Journal, with a number of
Engravings which have appeared in the Illustrated London N'eics.
They also appeared in our special publications, “The British
Expedition to Abyssinia,” in 1868, and “ From Cape Coast to
Coomassie, an Illustrated Narrative of the Aaliantee War,”
which wc issued a month since, immediately upon the return of
the British troops and their commander to this country. Mr.
Stanley, as correspondent of the Hew York Herald, was one
of these newspaper reporters who accompanied Sir Robert
Rapier’8 army through the Abyssinian campaign six years ago,
w hen we had the services of our own Artist, Mr. Simpson,
with the expedition, as well as the sketches contributed by
several officers of the General’s Staff. The first half of Mr.
Stanley’s volume is occupied with the more recent Ashantee
War. His experiences and observations of the war in Abyssinia
fill the remaining half of the book, or rather form a second
book, which might have been published, some readers will
think, more properly and conveniently in a separate volume.
An essay or commentary, to compare the strategical and
administrative features of these two British “little wars” in
Africa with each other, could be made both interesting aud
instructive. If any competent author, having the requisite
practical acquaintance witk military affairs, should hereafter
be disposed to write such a treatise, he may, perhaps, find Mr.
Stanley’s two narratives, in some respects, useful for reference.
We understand, however, that Major Henry Brackenbury, LI. A.,
one of Sir Garnet Wolseley’s Staff, is preparing an authentic
military history of the Ashantee campaign.

An incident which was mentioned by the newspaper
correspondents at the time happened on the day our troops
left Coomassie, Feb. 6, having fist set fire to the town. Great
cure bad been taken to drive out all the people from the
houses, which were thoroughly searched before kindling tho
conflagration. But there was one little boy, a child of seven
yc-ars, who bad lost sight of his parents or friends, and was met
wandering about alone. He was kindly taken caro of by tho
English sailors and soldiers until the hour onmo when they
were ordered to niaroh crut of the city. * They would gladly
have parried the child with them, on their roaa to Prah-su and
Cape Coast Castle, trusting to the chance of some opportunity,
if the King sent messengers suing for peace, to send back this

little fcllow f in safety. But the boy refused to go with them ;
and it was considered that if he were left at Coomassie, well
out of the reach of, danger from tho flames, his friends might
come and find him when tho army was gone. So they gave
him plenty of food, and left him, at last, in the middle of tho
w ide street. We trust that he escaped all harm, and that his
parents soon came l>ack to find h i m amidst tho ruins. Our
Artist’s sketch of the parting scene represents tho last few
lingerers of our soldiery trying in vain to coax the poor child
to follow them. They had not a minute to lose.

LIVINGSTONE’S BIRTHPLACE.

The efforts which are now being made to solicit from our Govern¬
ment the grant of a moderate pecuniary provision for Living¬
stone's two sisters, his two sons, and his tw o daughters, appear
deserving of support. That illustrious man, having constantly
devoted himself, during thirty-two years, to the laborious aud
perilous work of exploring Southern and Central Africa for tho
spread of civilisation, legitimate commerce, and Christianity,
was not in a position to make a fortune for his family. He was,
at the time of his death, in the sendee of her Majesty as British
Consul; and it is to be hoped, therefore, that tho Secretary of
State for Foreign Affairs will see the strict official propriety of
recommending such a public reward as is now asked. Tho
deputation that waited on Lord Derby for this purpose last
week, including the Lord ProvOst of Glasgow’, Sir Barfclo
Frere, President of the Royal Geographical Society, and Mr.
W. F. Webb, of Newstead Abbey, met with an encouraging
reception. We present three views of the birthplace and early
lit me of David Livingstone, which arc unpretending in aspect,
Iris pare ntage and family connections being of lmmble rank,
but which have a high degree of interest lrom tho character
and avhidvcmcnta of snch a man. He was born, March 19,
1813, at Blnntyre, in Lanarkshire, a village on the Clyde,
eight miles south-east of Glasgow. Tho extensive factory of
cotton-spinning, calico-weaving, and dyeing, established hero
so long ago us 1785, gave employment to many workpeople.
Among these was Livingstone^ father, as had been the caso
with his grandfather before; and the future great traveller
himself, when a little boy, worked as a piecer in the same
Cotton-mills. The small country town of Hamilton, where his
sisters and daughters still reside, is two miles beyond Blau tyre
and ten miles from .Glasgow. Between those places, a mile
from Hamilton, i3 Both well Brigg, w’liera tho Covenanters
were defeated in 1679, as described by Sir Walter Scott in hia
“ Old Mortality.” The ruins of Blantyre Priory, the massive
pfle of Bothwell Ga&tle, the ducal Palace of Hamilton, and
Cadyow, with the remains of tho primitive forest and its white
wild bulls, arc close to the home of Liviugetono’s childhood.
He was certainly familiar with all their historic and romantic
associations. They may have crossed his mmd Eometimes,
with snatches of Sir Walter's poetry, as ho kept liis lonely
vigils, with sleeping negroes about him, by tho bush-fire ia a
South African jungle, listening to the distant roar of the lion,
and the jackal’s bark yet farther off. His wife, daughter of
the Rev. Dr. Moffat, died in April, 1862, at Shupanga, on tho
Shii»> river.

ELECTION ITEMS.

Tbe official declaration of the poll at Hackney was made last
Saturday morning, the number of votes recorded for Mr.
Holms (L.) being 10,905 ; for Professor Fawcett (L.), 10,476 ;
arid for Lieutenant Gill, the Conservative candidate, 8991. J u
returning thanks for his electiou, Mr. Holms said ho thought
his triumph was one of which Liberals might bo proud. Pro¬
fessor Fawcett complimented the defeated candidate, Mr. Gill,
cn having fought a stand-up, manly fight. Mr. GiU told the
electors that, though he was not entirely satisfied with the
result, it was a consolation for him that they had chosen a
gentleman whom they knew' and honoured, and another whose
namo was a household word throughout the world.

Judgment in the Wakefield aud Windsor petitions wa 3
given yesterday week. In the former caso Mr. Justice
Grove decided that Mr. Green, the Conservative member, was
not duly elected, and ordered him to pay the costs of the pro¬
ceedings. At Windsor Mr. Baron Bramwell decided that the
sitting member, Mr. Richardsou-Gardner, should retain hia

seat, but pay his own costs.-Monday next lias been fixed for

tho polling at Wakefield. The candidates are Mr. Mackie,
Liberal, who was unsuccessful at the late election, and Mr.
Kemp Sanderson, Conservative, who was defeated by Mr.
Somerset Beaumont in 1S63.

The scrutiny in the Petersficld petition was brought to
a close last Saturday, and the last vote struck off was from
Mr. Nicholson’s poll, thereby giving a majority of one to tho
Hon. Captain Jolliffe, the sitting member. Several important
questions upon tho construction of the Ballot Act are reserved
for the opinion of the Court of Common Pleas, upon whoso
decision the ultimate right to the seat must depend.

The Athlone petition came on for heariug yesterday week.
At the general election Mr. Jolin James Ennis and Mr. Edward
♦Shell each polled 140 votes, and both gentlemen claimed the
seat. The judgment of the Court w^as in favour of Mr. SheiL

In the case of the Stroud petition Mi-. Baron Bramwell
has decided that the sitting members had not been duly elected.
He acquitted the agents of any knowledge. The members
were unseated simply by the folly and imprudence of in¬
judicious friends. He was very Sony for them, but he must
order them to pay the costs.

r I he petition against the return of Mr. Reed for Pembroke
has been withdrawal.

The Kerr}' petition has also been withdrawn.

The working men of Oxford have subscribed £139 towards
a testimonial to be given to Mr. Lewis, the unsuccessful candi¬
date at the late election.

Meetings have already been held by the opposite parties
interested in the new Licensing Bill to consider the statement
made by the Home Secretary on Monday evening in the House
of Commons, The representatives of the trade have refrained
from passing formal resolutions till the more general opinions of
the main body can be ascertained; but the members and
friends cf the United Kingdom Alliance have lost no time in
pledging themselves to resist by every legitimate means “the
petmtious proposals of the Government.”

The seventy-six annual meeting of the Essex Congregational
Union was held at Chelmsford on Tuesday. The Rev. A.
Goodrich, of Braintree, the president of the year, delivered an
earnest inaugural address on the growth of attention to the
doctrine concerning the Church, and the relation of Congre-
tionalists thereto. There was a large attendance of ministers
and lay representatives from different parts of Essex. In the
evening a dinner was held, under the presidency of Mr. F.
Wells, followed by a public meeting, of which Mr. Gruuwaie!
of Ipswich, was chairman.

MB. EDWARD JENKINS, M.P. FOR DUNDEE.

MR. J. COWF.N, M.P. FOR NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE.

The Portraits of four gentlemen recently elected members of
the House of Commons, who were not in Parliamentary life
before, are presented on this page. They are Mr. Edward
Jenkins, M.P. for Dundee, Mr. Joseph Cowen and Mr. C. F.
Hamond, the two representatives of Newcastle*on-Tyne, and
Mr. Arthur Mills, M.P. for Exeter.

Mr. John Edward Jenkins is a son of the Rev. Dr. John
Jenkins, minister of a Presbyterian church at Montreal, in
Canada, and he is nephew to Mr. David James Jenkin3, the
newly-elected M.P. for Penryn and Falmouth, and to the Rev.
Ebenezer Jenkins, the chairman of Wesleyan Indian missions.
He was born in 1838 at Bangalore, in India, but was educated
in Canada at the Montreal High School and College. Coming
over to England, he was called to the Bar at Lincoln's Inn in
Michaelmas Term in 1864, and joined the Home Circuit. He is

well known as the author of “Ginx’s Baby,” u Little Hodge,”
and “Lord Bantam.” Some years ago he went to British
Guiana, on the part of the English Anti*Slavery Society, to
investigate and report upon the condition of the coolies.. He
has published a book on the subject. He is in religion a
Presbyterian, like his father ; and he is married to a daughter
of Mr. Philip Johnstone, of Belfast. Mr. Jenkins, who
lately made a lecturing tour through the large towns of
the United States and Canada, has been appointed agent for
the Dominion Government for emigration and other pur¬
poses in London. He contested Stafford, Truro, and Dundee,
on the first occasion, without success. At the late general
election he was again candidate for Dundee. The other
Liberal candidates for the second seat there—Mr. Ye&raan’a
being securo—were the late member, Sir J. Ogilvy, and Mr. J.

M. D. Meiklejohn, author of some valuable improvements in
modern education and English scholarship. Mr. Jenkins,
however, was elected in Sir J. Ogilvy’s place.

Mr. Joseph Cowen, of Stella House, Blaydon, in the county
of Durham, chosen in the advanced Liberal interest for
Newcastle-on-Tyne, is eldest son of the late Sir Joseph Cowen,
of Stella Hall, who represented Newcastle in the last two
Parliaments, by his wife, Mary, daughter of Mr. Anthony
Newton, of Winlaton, in the county of Durham. He was bom
in the year 1831, and was educated at private schools and at
the University of Edinburgh. He is described as a coal-owner
and fire-brick manufacturer, in the neighbourhood of New¬
castle. He is also proprietor of tbe Newcastle Daily and
Weekly Chronicle. He married a daughter of Mr. John
Thompson, of Hatfield, in the county of Durham. Mr. Cowen

MR. ARTITUR MILLS, M.P. FOR EXETKR.

MR. HAMOND, M.P. FOB NEWCASTLE-ON TYNB,

was first returned to Parliament, it will be remembered, a
week or two before the late dissolution ; but, as he had never
taken his seat in St. Stephen's, he may be allowed to count
os a new member.

Mr. Charles Frederick Hamond, of Lovaine-place, New¬
castle-on-Tyne, barrister-at-law, who is returned for Newcastle
in the “independent” Conservative interest, is the son of a
gentleman who was formerly a magistrate for Kent. He was
bora about the year 1840 ; was called to the Bar at the Middle
Temple in Easter Term, 1865, and joined the Northern Circuit,
and is a magistrate for the “ town and county ” of Newcastle-
on-Tyne. Mr. Hamond has been an active member of the
School Board of Newcastle, as the advocate of religious and
biblical education. He has been twice an unsuccessful can¬

didate for the representation of the borough—namely, at t
general election of November, 1868, and again, little more th
a month ago, on the occasion of the death of Sir Joseph Cowc
Mr. Arthur Mills, of Budehaven, Cornwall, who h
been returned for the city of Exeter, in the Conservati
interest, is the youngest son of the late Rev. Fran
MUU of Barford, Warwickshire, by Catherine, daugh-
of the late Sir John Mordaunt, of Walton, in the aai
co “ n ‘y- . was bora in the year 1816, and was ec
oated at Kugby and at Balliol College, Oxford, wh<
he took the usual degrees He was calleS to the Bar at t
Inner Temple £ Easter Term, 1842, and is the author
“Colonial Constitutions” and of “India in 1848” He
married to Agnes Lucy, youngest daughter of the late l

Thomas Dyke Acland, M.P., of Killerton, Devon. Mr. Mills
is a member of the London School Board for Marylebone and
Hampstead. He represented Taonton as a Conservative from
1857 to 1865. He was an unsuccessful candidate for Taunton
in 1868 ; and it will be remembered that he was returned for
the city of Exeter a few weeks before the dissolution in the
place of Sir J. D. Coleridge ; but, as he never took his seat m
the late House of Commons, he may fairly be included in the
list of new members.

The portrait of Mr. E. Jenkins is from a photograph bv
Sarony, of New York ; those of Mr. Cowen and Mr. Hamond,
from photographs bv Messrs. W. and D. Downey, of Newcastle;
and that of Mr. Arthur Mills, from one by Mr. Owen Angel> of
Exeter.

MUSIC.

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.

The second appearance this season of Mdlle. Albani took place
on Thursday week, when her reception was of the same en¬
thusiastic kind as that which greeted her return on the previous
Tuesday. As Amina, in “La Sonnambula,” the singer again
displayed a voice of increased brilliancy and power, with a
corresponding enhancement of dramatic feeling and declamatory
force in the more passionate scenes of the opera. The graceful
delivery of the opening aria, “Come per me sereno”—the
exquisite feeling imparted to Amina’s share of the duet with
Elvino, “ Prendi l’annel,” the despairing pathos of .the bed-room
scene, and the joyous impulse of the final bravura, “Ah ! non
giunge,” each called forth special demonstrations of approval
from a brilliant audience. Signor Nicolini, as Elvino, sang
with much effect in the duets with Amina and in his sceua,
“Tutti e 8ciolto, ,, the cast having included, as heretofore,
Signor Bagagiolo as Count Rodolfo.

On the following evening Mdlle. Pezzotta (who made her
ddbut here towards the close of last season) reappeared, and
was again favourably received in the same character—as Amelia
in “Un Ballo in Maschera,” the performance of which opera
included the successful first appearance of Mdlle. Biauchi as the
page Oscar. This young lady has a voice of light and agreeable
quality, and her delivery of the canzone “Saper vorreste”
pleased so much that it had to be repeated. Signor Cotogm
sang finely as Renato, in which part he replaced M. Maurel,
in consequence of the illness of the latter. Signor Pavani, as
the Duke, sang well; and Mdlle. Scalchi was the same excellent
representative of Ulrica as heretofore.

On Saturday “Guglielmo Tell ” was to have been given for
the third time this season, with the same powerful cast as
before, including the Arnoldo of Signor Bolis ; but in conse¬
quence of the continued indisposition of M. Maurel—the repre¬
sentative of Tell—the opera was suddenly changed to “11
Trovatore,” in which Signor Bolis achieved another triumph as
Manrico, Mdlle. D’Angeri having been much applauded in her
performance as Leonora. In the part of the Count di Luna
Signor Cotogni, as substitute for M. Maurel, again proved his
readiness and efficiency.

This week’s performances commenced with “11 Flauto
Magico,” which Drought back Mdlle. Smeroschi in the small
part of Papagena. The chief effect of the evening was pro¬
duced by the brilliant singing of Mdlle. Marimon in the bravura
songs of the Queen of Night, the second of which (“ Gli angui
d’inierno ”) was encored. Her florid execution, excellent
staccato, and command of the extremest possible soprano range
were admirably displayed, and again proved that this tine
singer has gained largely in power since last season. Mdlle.
d’Angeri, as Pamina, sang with considerable effect in the aria,
“Ah ! so lo.” >ignor Pavani, as Tamino, was less successful
than in his previous performance above referred to. Signor
Cotogni was the same vivacious Papageno as formerly, and
Signor Bagagiolo’s fine bass voice was very effective in the
music of Sarastro.

On Tuesday “Lucia di Lammermoor” was repeated, “II
Trovatore ” was announced for Thursday, “ Faust ” for Friday,
and “ I Puritani ” for to-night (Saturday), with Mdlle. Albani
as Elvira for the first time.

The first of this year’s concerts given in the Floral Hall,
adjoining the Royal Italian Opera-House, took place last
Saturday afternoon, and included performances by most of the
principal artists of that establishment — among the many
effective features of the programme having been the fine sing¬
ing of Mdlle. Albani and Malle. Marimon.

HER MAJESTY’S OPERA.

The two closing performances of last week consisted of “ Les
Huguenots,” on Thursday, and “ Fidelio,” on Saturday, the
first-named opera having included the fine singing and acting
of Mdlle. Titiens as Valentina, the cast in other respects
having been a strong one. Signor Fancelli, as Raoul, was
especially successful in the duel-septet, and the great duet
with Valentina in. the fourth act. Mdlle. Alwina Valleria
sang the music of Margherita di Valois with refinement; in
that of Marcello the fine bass voice of Herr Behrens was
highly impressive ; other efficient features of the cast having
been the San Bris of Signor Aguesi and the Di Nevers of
Signor Galassi. “Fidelio” Mso included the admirable
performance of Mdlle. Titiens as the heroine, with other
features as recently noticed.

On Monday “ Faust ” was given, with the return of Mdlle.
Marie Roze as Margherita, of Signor Rota as Mefistofelc, and
the reappearance (after an interval of three years) of Mr.
Bentham as Faust, each artist having been well received. The
recent debutant, Signor De Reschi, again proved himself to be
a valuable acquisition by his performance as Valentino.

“Les Huguenots ” was repeated on Tuesday, “Semiramide”
was to bo given on Thursday, and “ Faust ’’was announced
for to night (Saturday).

ITie eighteenth series of Saturday afternoon concerts at the
Crystal Palace closed last week, with the usual supplemental
per forma ice for the benefit of Mr. Manns, the conductor. The
programme was one of special importance, having comprised
fine performances of Beethoven’s choral symphony (the vocal
solos by Madame Lcmmens-Sherrington, Miss .Sterling, Mr. E.
Lloyd, and Mr. Santley); and of Schumann’s overture, and
four of the pieces of incidental music composed by him for the
drama of “Manfred”—these last having been given for the
first time in England. It is to bo hoped that the whole of tho
fifteen movements may be heard before long, the entire series
being characterised by great beauty and power. A new
violinist, lierr Peiniger (a pupil of Joachim), executed Ernst’s
“ Hungarian ” Fantasia, and was well received. Miscellaneous
vocal solos by Mesdaraes Otto-Alvsleben and Sherrington, Miss
Sterling, and Mr. Santley completed the programme. A new
series of nine “summer concerto ” commences to-day (Saturday).

The 136th anniversary festival of the Royal Society of
Musicians took place at Willis’s Rooms, on Monday, when the
Prince of Wales was the president of the evening. Various
loyal and other toasts were given and responded to, that of
“Prosperity to tho Royal Society of Musicians of Great
Britain ” having been proposed by the Royal President. There
was a large attendance, and the total amount of subscriptions
and donations realised upwards of £1000. The proceedings of
the evening were agreeably diversified by various musical per¬
formances. Vocal pieces were contributed by Miss Antoinette
Sterling, Signor Caravoglia, and the members of the London
Vocal union ; and Mr. \V. G. Cusins played Thalberg’s “ Mose
in Egitito” Fantasia with great effect on a splendid “concert
grand ” pianoforte furnished gratuitously by Messrs. Broad wood
for the occasion.

The Sacred Harmonic Society terminated its forty-second
season last night (Friday), when the second and greater of the
two oratorios composed by its conductor, Sir Michael Costa,
was announced for tho closing performance. “Naaiuan ” had
been promised for a much earlier date, but was voluntarily put
aside Dy the composer to allow of the production of Mr. G. A.
M/vof“§t. John the Baptist,” in March last.

The competition for the Parepa-Rosa Scholarship took place
at the Royal Academy of Music on Saturday, when Miss Annie
Elizabeth Bolingbroke was the successful candidate.

The Leeds Musical Festival has been fixed to begin on
Oct. 5, and will last four days. Sir Michael Costa will be the
conductor. Accommodation will be afforded in the "V ictoria
Hall for 2350 persons. The Mayor is chairman of the general
committee. The guarantee fund amounts to nearly £6000.

It has been arranged to hold a musical festival in Liverpool,
similar to the festivals which have been so successfully carried
out in Birmingham and other towns. A preliminary meeting
of the promoters was, on Tuesday, held at the Townhall, the
Deputy Mayor, Mr. E. Whitley, presiding, and Sir J. Benedict
being among those present. It is proposed to offer a number
of valuable prizes for competition.

THEATRES.

Considerable interest continues to be excited by Mr. Phelps’s
frequent appearances at the Gaiety. The public have been
much pleased with his assumption of the part, with him a
great favourite, of Baillic Nicol Jarvie, in “ Rob Roy.” Mr.
Vezin, too, has gained by the representation. He played the
hero of the piece with vigour and intelligence ; and we may add
that Mr. Charles Harcourt, as Thornton, was very good.
Bishop’s music also is given in a satisfactory manner.

Mr. Toole appeared on Saturday at the Globe in three
pieces. In the first he represented John Puddicombe in Mr.
Tom Taylor’s farce of “Our Clerks,” and convulsed the audi¬
ence with laughter. In the second, “ Off the Line,” he played
very amusingly the part of Harry Coke, the engine-driver,
occasionally, however, proving to be very pathetic. In the
third, “Ici on Parle Francais,” as Mr. Sprigging, the lodging-
house keeper, Mr. Toole excited the hilarity with which his
appearances in the part are usually attended.

Mr. Toole has also appeared in a piece at the Globe, written
by Mr. C. M. Rae, and entitled “Billy Doo.” The hero is a
biilsticker, who is much annoyed by a nervous old gentleman,
who continually pulls down his bills. A grocer's assistant in
love excites the suspicion in both parties as both the sticker-up
and puller-down of the obnoxious advertisements. The con¬
fusion thereby caused is the source of much mirth. The thing
is a skilful trifle—it aims at no higher merit.

The Criterion shows signs of managerial activity. The last
production, entitled “Normandy Pippins,”is a pleasant little
piece. With no great pretensions, it affords an opportunity
for Miss Fanny Holland, Miss Hughes, and Mr. Dewar, of
which they judiciously take full advantage. Some very lively
* music, selected from the popular composers of the day, is intro¬
duced. With Mrs. John Wood and Mr. Byron in the *‘ American
Lady,” a pleasant evening’s entertainment is afforded.

At the Court “ Le Voyage de M. Perrichon ” supplies the
foundation for a piece, which has been ruined by incongruities
of costume. The part of Perrichon is played in an admirable
manner by Mr. Hill. He properly appears in an ordinary
tourist’s suit, but he is supported (?) oy a number of young
ladies in satin knickerbockers, utterly out of keeping with the
scenery of Wales and the apparel of the principal characters.

At the Lyceum the drama of “ The Bells ” has been revived,
and Mr. Irving has again had the opportunity of portraying
the terrors ana death of the guilty Mathias, and again full}'
justified the reputation which he had obtained by the original
performance.

A new and original comedy by Mr. James Albery, entitled
“Pride,” has met with decided success at the Vaudeville.
The plot is somewhat perplexed, but the dialogue is smart and
telling. The piece is, perhaps, a little too long, and the third
not quite so good as the previous two acts. The interest of tho
action lies in the love making of Frank Leyton (Mr. C. Warner)
and Gertrude Cadbutton (Miss Amy Fawsitt), the daughter
of J. Cadman Cadbutton (Mr. W. Farren), to whom Frank
acts as secretary. As such he falls on a track of inquiry which
goes far to identify his employer as the father of one Barnabas
Smith, and guilty of much dishonesty. Defects in the deve¬
lopment of the plot preclude any attempt at describing the
incidents ; but the acting is throughout excellent, and the
scenery most admirable. It is probable that the defects in
arrangements may, in the course of a few nights, be remedied.

At the Strand a new farce by Mr. Martin Beecher has been
produced, under the title of “ A Crimeless Criminal.” The
whole affair turns on a mental aberration and the possession of
a watch, obtained under circumstances of nervous excitement,
which causes much distress to the unfortunate hero. His great
anxiety is to get rid of the watch, and he takes many strange
methods of effecting his purpose. At length it reaches its
proper owner, and the ludicrous distress terminates. Mr.W.
H. Terris, as the nervous possessor, Verdi Verdanti, succeeds
in provoking the merriment of the audience at his eccentricities
and imaginary dangers.

At Astley’s Mr. Charles Reade’s powerful drama of “ It’s
Never Too Late to Mend ” has been revived, with accessories
which ensure its long run. Mr. Calhaem supports his original
rdle of Jackcy.

The directors of the London, Brighton, and South Coast
Railway have made arrangements to keep their booking-offices
at London Bridge and Victoria, and at their stations generally,
constantly open every weekday, from eight a.m. to seven p.m ,
for the sale of tickets and for the purpose of affording informa¬
tion to passengers. Passengers’ tickets to all stations on the
line, as well as to Park and the Continent, will be issued at
branch offices in Waterloo place, Regent circus, and Ludgate-
circus, dated to suit the convenience of the passengers.

By a small majority the Metropolitan Board of Works has
adopted a resolution asking the general purposes committee to
report on the practicability of continuing the Albert Embank¬
ment from ito present termination to Vauxliail Bridge. Mr.
Fowler, tho mover of the resolution, reminded the board that
Vauxhall Bridge had been the originally intended termination,
and that the embankment had been shortened only because of
the difficulty of obtaining the requisite land. This difficulty
had since been materially lessened, while the recent high tide
proved the urgent need of the poorer inhabitants of Lambeth to
be protected from the overflow of the river.

About 200 gentlemen attended the annual dinner of the
French Hospital and Dispensary, on Saturday last, presided
over by M. Gavard. The toast of the “ The Queen and the
Royal Family ” was proposed with Gallican courtesy and grace
In describing the xxisition of the hospital, M. Gavard stated
that 150 in-patients had been admitted during the past year
and 3250 out-patients had received medicine. M. Uiuimel the
secretary, announced subscriptions to the .amount of fully
£1000 including £100 from the Due d’Aumale, £48 from the
French Government £15 from tho French Ambassador, £8
from the chainnan, £31 10s. from Messrs. Rothschild, £30
from theComptoir d’Escompte. £20 from Sir Richard Wallace,
and a Belgian contribution of £|0, '

ROYAL INSTITUTION LECTURES.

CONSTITUENTS OF THE ATMOSPHERE.

Mr W r alter Noel Hartley, F.C.S., gave his second lecture on
Thursday week. In reference to his xireceding lecture, it should
be stated that the iron cylinder on that occasion employed to
ascertain the weight of air contained about 7* cubic feet of
air and that about cubic feet of air was showm to weigh 7 oz.
The present lecture “began with explanations of the way in
which M. Tessid du Mothay solved the difficult problem of
obtaining oxygen on a large scale for ordinary use by alter-
natelv passing steam and air over heated mauganate of soda,
the first operation producing oxygen, the second reproducing
the manganate of soda and nitrogen. . Mr. Hartley having
proved by various methods of analysis that the air of the
lecture-room consisted of four volumes of nitrogen and one of
oxygen, proceeded to consider the very minute constitu¬
ents of our atmosphere, such as water-vapour, carbonic acid,
ammonia, and ozone. The presence of water-vapour in the
apparently dry air of the room was demonstrated by Bomeoil
of vitriol gaining weight by exposure to the atmosphere, and
by the behaviour of a new' substance, the iodide of cobalt, a
rapid absorber of moisture, and densely black in colour, which
at first became a green liquid, and then changed its colour to
various shades of brown, and finally to pink., as more and more
vapour w'as taken up. This is the most remarkable of all deli-
quescent substances. After some further illustrations, Mr.
Hartley adverted to Dr. Black's observation, that caustic limo
became mild after exposure to the air, and that in losing
causticity it in increased in weight. By this, the first em¬
ployment of the balance in the investigation of chemical
changes, Mr. Hartley said that he may be safely termed the
founder of modern chemistry. Black’s next observation was
that the passage from the caustic to the mild state was accom¬
panied by the absorption of a large quantity of air by the lime,
and that this air could be expelled by heat or by the applica¬
tion of strong acids. This air he named “ fixed air,’’ and he
showed its difference from atmospheric air, and that it is really
a product of respiration, combustion, and fermentation. It is
now termed carbonic acid and carbon di-oxide. The properties
of this gas, such as its extinguishing flame, its weight (permit¬
ting it to be poured out from vessel to vessel), and its rendering
lime-w'ater turbid, w'ere exhibited by Mr. Hartley; and he
then explained and illustrated the usual methods for deter¬
mining the amount of carbonic acid in tho air, beginning with
those of Bunsen and Pettenkofer. The “household” method,
the minimetric method, and that of Dr. .Angus Smith were
employed in the lecture-room, and the carbonic acid in it was
found to be 0*055 per cent. The value of the determination of
I this gas solely rests on its being a measure of the pollution of
I the air ; and from Dr. Angus Smith’s diagrams it was demon-
j strated that, even in open places, the amount of carbonic acid
, varies greatly within small limits. The different metropolitan
I postal districts showed different figures, according to their
poi>ulation ; but it is chiefly indoors that the state of the air
we breathe varies so considerably. The lecture concluded with
observations on the presence of ammonia and ozone in the
atmosphere and illustrations of their properties.

SEA WAVES.

Mr. C.W. Merrifield, F.R.S , in beginning his discourse on
Friday evening, April 24, pointed out the special importance,
in understanding the subject, of knowing that the advance of a
wave is neither necessarily nor generally accompanied by any
corresponding advance of the water itself. There are many
other forms of motion in which this advance of form only
occurs, and he exhibited largo, models of screws, pointing out
that w hen the barrel on which the screw is cut is simply turned
round without advancing, the screw-thread appears to advance
like a series of waves; but that when the screw works in a
nut, so that the screw advances, then the screw-thread remains
apparently at rest. In the same way, in sea waves which
appear to advance rapidly the water has no sensible motion of
advance, while in the series of waves often seen below a bridge
or shoal in a rapid river the water does ad ranee, and thew'aves
stand still. What really constitutes a wave is that each particle
of water shall go through the same little dance of ito own,
while the successive x>articles “take uj) the dance” in regular
order. There will then be a wave or series of waves,
whether there be any general movement or current in
the water or not. As the motion of a troubled Bea
is too complex to be understood without first consider¬
ing the simpler forms of wave-motion, the lecturer selected
for illustration the simple succession of waves called “ swell,"
or smooth ground sea of deep water. This, as is well known,
consists of a series of long unbroken ridges of water, apparently
moving with considerable sx^ced and foice ; yet, what the x^r-
tides of water are actually doing is simply going round ana
round in circles in vertical planes ; these planes being at right
angles to the lines of the ridges, and the diameters of the
circles being the height of the wave from valltey to crest.
There is no appreciable advance of the water ; the advance of
the wave being due to the particles taking up the dance in
regular succession. If a disk or circle be rolled along the foot
of a wall, a nail sticking out from it anywhere between its
centre and ito edge would trace on the wall the same cuivee
(only up3ide down) as the profiles of the wave. A screw-threau
drawn in suitable perspective also gives the same curves.
After giving this general notion of the sea-wave, Mr. Merrifield
pointed out its internal mechanical structure, showing that it
consists of a series of .undulating stratified layers (forming
horizontal ])l«ines when the water is still), which undergo
no mixing with one another. In the same way the
water may be also ideally separated into vertical columns
which again do not mix, but only sway to and fro
like stalks of barley when the wind sweeps over the
field of corn. Only in the sea-waves the columns
lengthen as the wave crest approaches and shorten after it ha 3
passed away, always leaning towards the crest of the wave.
The swell or groimd-sea of deep water thus simply heaves the
mass of w'ater, without stirring or mixing it, and without any
general motion of advance, notwithstanding the apparent rapid
motion of the waves. In this absolute form the kind of wave
described is x^erhaps rather the limiting condition which the
waves tend to assume when left to the action of gravity alone
than a state of things absolutely realised. Still, the departure
from it is much smaller than might be supx>ofied ; .

apparent confusion of motion, when once the wind ceases, is
rather due to several systems of swell, of different dimensions,
existing at the same time and place, than to any essential
difference in the character of the motion. Mr. Merrifield, after
giving some details respecting the combination of waves and
their height and length, concluded with some remarks on waves
of shallow water, and on the formation of waves in a rising
storm. The lecture was illustrated by diagrams. Mr. George
Busk, F. II. S., treasurer and vice president, was in the chair.

REAL OBJECT OF THE FRENCH REVOLUTIONARY WAR.

Mr. John Robert Seeley, Professor of Modern History at
Cambridge, in his second lecture, on Saturday last, reverted to
what he considered the popular mistake in attributing tho
emancipation of Europe wholly to the French Revolution;

MAY 2, 1874

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS

423

whereas it was principally due to the anti-Napoleonic revolu¬
tion. This great movement began in 1S08, when the Revolution
was really dead and buried, French liberty haying been utterly
destroyed by the great war. Rut how did this war begin, and
why did it rage so long ? In such an age of enlightenment it
surely was a great anachronism, and demands investigation. In
the popular conception the Revolution was a new creed or gospel,
against which, it was said, “the kings of the earth set them¬
selves and the princes took counsel together.” Defenceless
France, when invaded by the Sovereigns, rallied with desperate
gallantry. She struggled against the old despotic Governments,
and became unawares a conqueror. A great military genius
then arose to help her ; her free principles faded gradually, and
eventually he became her ruler. This has frequently been the
case with great Generals in other countries in former ages.
Europe banded together to put him down ; but, though he fell,
he accomplished his work and delivered her from despotism.
In this notion, the Professor said, there are two mistakes.
It is wrong to throw the responsibility of the war upon the
Sovereigns, and it is wrong to say that France fought in self-
defence and for unselfish motives, and that, because she chose
her own government, she was attacked by an overwhelming
host. This view did not exist here in 1815, but has come to
us since 1830, from modern French writers, and we have in¬
dolently and unthinkingly adopted it as any other new fashion.
It is an error to suppose that France was so feeble when the
war began. Sbe was certainly in great peril in 1792 and 1793,
and was then saved by the want of unity in the Sovereigns.
At that time both her government and army collapsed. She
began war with as much self-confidence in 1792 as in 1870 ; but
she soon rose above her first failures. The citizens of France
in arms were vastly stronger than all the armies of their
antagonists put together. In proof of the great desire for war,
and confidence of success, Professor Seeley read extract from
violent speeches of the orators in the National Assembly,
especially from those of Brissot, the Girondist, who vehemently
urged war against the Sovereigns. The conflict certainly did
not originate in self-defence; and the declaration against the
Emperor of Germany came from the Republic. He certainly
had no desire for war ; and Brissot ailated upon the un¬
settled state of his dominions as a strong motive for attack¬
ing him. With success the desire of conquest rapidly
increased. The origin of this desire the Professor attributed
to the lively sense of the decline of France in Europe for
nearly half a century, and the aggrandisement of her
enemies. The Revolutionary war was a desperate attempt
by her to procure an equivalent for the large acquisitions of
territory made by the other great Powers. The late wars had
been very ignominious to her. She had lost her colonies and
her commerce, while they had gained provinces. Yet in her
successes she always professed that her real object was to
maintain the balance of power. In 1796 the negotiations for
peace by Lord Malmesbury failed because the Directory con¬
sidered it treason to give up Belgium ; and Napoleon in 1805,
and Oaulincourt, his representative, in 1814, professed to claim
no more territory than was required for the natural boundaries
of France and to maintain her proper position in relation to the
other Powers of Europe.

NERVE EXCITEMENT.

Professor Rutherford, M.D., began his third lecture, on
Tuesday last, by demonstrating, by means of Thomson’s gal¬
vanometer, that electrical currents are produced in nerve in its
living state, and that, as the current is present only in living
nerve, it probably results from chemical changes peculiar to the
living condition ; which is further confirmed by the fact that
the current is diminished by cold and increased by a gentle
heat. It was then proved that when a nerve is excited there
is a diminution in the current it generates, the cause of which
is unknown. Dr. Rutherford said that nerve excitement is a
kind of motion which may be termed nerve motion or nerve
energy. It is quite a mistake to suppose that this energy is
only produced in nerve-cells; for, if it were so, we could not
explain the fact that when a motor nerve-fibre is cut off from
its nerve-cell it can be stimulated to action, and a muscle is
thrown into motion thereby, just as if the nerve-fibre had been
in connection with the nerve-cell. The right way, in the
Professor’s opinion, is to regard nerve-excitement as an
invisible motion which may be set up in the nerve-cell
by chemical motion, or at tho peripheral ends of the
nerve-fibres, and, indeed, in the trunks of the nerve-
fibres (where there are certainly no nerve-cells), by
the operation of various forms of motion, electrical,
mechanical, thermal, or otherwise. The nature of nerve-
motion is unknown. It may be chemical or mechanical, but
it is, most likely, not electrical, because it will not pass
through the portion of a nerve that has been frozen, which
electricity does easily. The nerve-fibres are probably always
the same ; but they give rise to different effects, such as mus¬
cular motion, secretion, and sensation. These depend upon
the nature of the organ to which tho nerve-excitement is
communicated. The efferent nerves arc therefore classified
into motor and secretory ; while the afferent nerves are grouped
into sensory, excito-motor, excito-secretory, and inhibitory.
Secretory nerves are always involuntary, although they may
be affected by thought, as shown in the production of tears by
emotion, and. the secretion of saliva by thinking on fooi
Motor-nerves may be voluntary or involuntary; aud both may
be affected by emotion. The excitement of sensory nerves
gives rise to sensation, when there is consciousness ; and the
attention is arrested by the stimulation. Sensation, the
Professor said, may be defined as a state of consciousness ; but
we are entirely ignorant as to how it is that a state of con¬
sciousness results from exciting a sensory nervc-cell. Tho
activity of some part of the brain appears to he necessary for
consciousness. If this activity be suspended by a blow on the
head, or by chloroform, the conscious state disappears, and
only returns when the nerve molecules are again able to pass
into a state of action.

Professor Seeley wall this day, in his concluding lecture,
consider the “ Relation of Napoleon I. to the French Revo¬
lution.” On Friday evening next, Mr. Sedley Taylor will give
a discourse on an Historical Enigma in the Trial of Galileo
before the Inquisition. On Saturday next Mr. R. A. Proctor
will begin a course of five lectures on the Planetary System.

Sir Henry Peek’s “Cinque Cottages,” which he founded in
1872, are to benefit by liir gratitude for the honour conferred
upon him by Mr. Disraeli. He has given two thousand guineas
to found annuities for pensioners connected with the eottages.

Cardinal Cullens May pastoral was read iii the Dublin
churches on Sunday. His Eminence states that at the present
time the Church is persecuted in almost all the countries of
Europe. Her supreme head has been deprived of his liberty,
and many of her bishops are doomed to imprisonment or exile.
lie looks to the Cross for triumph over persecution, and
announces that the Pope has given him a large piece of the
real cross on which our Lord died, to be deposited in a new
church which they are building.

NEW BOOKS.

NOVELS.

Plenty of amusement, especially for those who are of a hilarious
and rollicking turn, is to be derived from At Her Mercy, by the
author of “ Lost Sir Massingberd” (Richard Bentley and Son).
Meditative souls, profound philosopher*, psychological students
and persons who like to feel their flesh creep are not warranted
to receive satisfaction ; and yet, towards the end of the third
volume, there is a death-bed scene which may possibly meet
the views of poople wffio are fascinated by the spectacle of a
beautiful young woman steeped in sin to the very lips dying
repentant, but almost hopeless, finding it agony to draw her
breath, and yet persisting in speaking “against time” and in
going through wuth an almost wholly supererogatory confession.
It is a story of rivalty—at least, if the term be applicable when
the feeling which it implies is confined aud concealed within the
bosom of one wicked woman; for the injured heroine, the
sweet creature who is a charming type of that which is most
feminine and amiable, has scarcely the faintest lurking sus¬
picion of any contention. Not but what, for all her dovelike
softness, she lias quite enough of latent spirit; indeed, your
dove, as is well known, can peck as well as coo, and is accused
of being combative. By what arts and wiles and diabolical
proceedmgs the beautiful demon supplants the beautiful angel
and secures the coveted prize, which, of course, is a captain,
may not be here recorded, and will be more agreeably, if not
conveniently, discovered from tho volumes themselves.
Suffice it to say that the successful she shows such a trust in—
one cannot, under the circumstances, say Providence, but —
some disposer of events as could hardly have been expected
from even the celebrated Micawber ; for, if a bird in the hand
is worth two in the bush, it argues either an excessively
sanguine disposition or the co-operation of supernatural powers
to reject present certainties for a futurity which depends upon
so unlikely a conjunction or sequence of incidents as that a
lady should accidentally poison herself, that a given person
should accidentally see her do it, and that her husband, having
accidentally become cognisant of the fact, should instantly,
under the influence of a panic, lose his common-sense, his solf-
respect and his respect for the dead. However, let not beauti¬
ful demons, even if they do succeed in the teeth of probability,
hope that their success will be of long duration ; or, if they so
hope, let them not go a hunting on a big steeple-chaser: a word
to the wise. The merits of the romance, one would say, are to
be found not amongst the tragic but amongst the descriptive
and the comic portions ; the latter are remarkable for vivid
touches and bursts of fun and geniality.

Several bright jewelsof description, personal and scenical, arc
strung upon a rather slender thread of connected plot and con¬
tinuous story to form the very pleasant and readable contents of
Young Mr. Nightingale, by Dutton Cook (Sampson Low aud Co.).
The date of the tale carries the reader back some fifty years,
more or less. There was then a King of England, who had a
sergeant-painter ; and that sergeant-painter is one of the chief
characters described. The other principal characters—for
“Young Mr. Nightingale” himself, the autobiographical
narrator, is not of much account — are a wicked, drunken,
ruffianly lord, of the “Corinthian” order; a couple of
farmers; male and female rustics, with a peculiar dialect,
judiciously and amusingly employed ; a very pretty actress,
originally a rope dancer; a versatile, kindly, needy,
pompous, extremely comical strolling-player; a nondescript
young gentleman, with good looks, a good heart, and a bad
constitution ; an elderly lady, a winning type of injured wife,
excellent mother, and tender woman ; and a young lady, whom
to see and even to read of is to love. To all these must he
added a lawyer’s managing clerk. Of the many scenes to which
the reader is introduced, those which are most calculated to
produce an impression are, probably, the first meeting between
“ Young Mr. Nightingale” and Lord Overbury at the “dark
tower;” the various incidents connected with “Dripford
Fair; ” the rescue of half-frozen Rosetta and its immediate
sequel; the first visit to the lawyer's office, presided over by
an invisible principal; the discovery of the fair copying-clerk ;
the “release” of the mysterious principal; the disturbance at
the “ silver hell ; ” the reconciliation, all too late, of the long-
parted husband and wife; and, a very pretty picture, the
meeting with Rachel at the church aud the subsequent
proposal and acceptance. It may possibly occur to
the reader that some of the personages are, to use the
vulgar phrase, “beggars to talk,” and that the dialoguo is
occasionally a little wearisome ; but, in a free country, it
is permissible to skip, especially when, by the adoption of that
sometimes perilous course, no necessary link in the narrative is
in danger of being missed. The author takes the opportunity,
which his choice of materials affords him, of discoursing in
chatty stylo about painting and tho drama ; and he writes so
neatly, and with so facile a command of quiet and even sly
humour, that his bits of critical digression give buoyancy rather
than heaviness to the whole lump.

Both sad and true is said to be the story entitled One Love
in a Life, by Emma M. Pearson (Hurst anti Blackett) ; and
it certainly is more sad than enough. Though it is war¬
ranted true, the warranty, it is reasonable to suppose,
is not meant to apply to more than the chief incidents in the
heroine’s life. Otherwise, truth is stranger than fiction to a
degree beyond anything that it could euter into the heart of
any corner on individual to conceive, and the world is peopled
by a more extraordinary race of beings with more extraordinary
ways of going on than a dreamer of dreams would imagine in a
nightmare. It may be that a limited experience has been to
blame for the view thus taken and expressed ; and, whether or
no, it has not prevented a high estimate from being formed of the
power with which the author can write and of the dexterity
with which the unfamiliar puppets, if it be permissible, to call
them so, arc handled. The tale told is that of a woman, endowed
with many excellent physical and other gifts, who, from girl¬
hood onwards, in spite of a double jilting and a disgraceful pro¬
posal of a dishonourable elopement, is true to her one first and last
love, and who, when the object of it is removed by death, feeds
on its memory. It is, indeed, a sad and melancholy story ; but
there are some sad aud melancholy stories which fail to* evoke
sympathy. Whether we sympathise or not witli the heroine
in the present instance will depend upon whether she strikes
us as having been a noble, loving woman or a blind, infatuated
idiot. And it is not at all impossible that a majority of readers
may adopt the latter view, for if a young lady will not sec,
when it is as plain as a pikestaff, that she has mistaken Brian
de Bois-Guilbert for Ivanhoe, it looks very like infatuation.

The authoress of “ Lady Shakerley,” a spirited and charac¬
teristic sketch of highborn English life in the time of Charles I..
has successfully repeated her experiment in this line of mixed
historical and domestic fiction. The Exiles at St. Germains
(Hurst and Blackett) is a story of the same kind, related by an
old lady, born in 17S7, whose grandmother, Ann Ogilvie, was
a young married lady in 1700, taking us back the length of two
life periods, each of eighty-seven years. Mistress Ogilvie, ;
indeed, lived a few years longer, so that Mrs. Grey, the present
editor of the grandmother’s written recollections, is able to

I describe her personally and to share her attachment to the
Royal family of the Stuarts. As tho wife of Captain Ogilvie,
an officer in the Highland regiment that adhered to King
James II., the ^writer of tho more ancient journal went to
France with the Court of the deposed Sovereign. She was
charged with the education of the sweet young Princess Louisa,
whoso character, aud that of her mother, Queen Mary Beatrix,
have the charm of high moral beauty. Isabel Grey, too, the
granddaughter—herself now very aged—of old Mistress Ogilvie,
has an interesting passage of her youthful experience to relate.
We are glad that tne favourable reception deserved and gained
by “Lady Shakerley” has encouraged the authoress to produce
this new volume, which ought to be equally successful.

The popular lessee and manager of the Gaiety Theatre has
collected into three pleasant volumes a number of his sketches,
tales, and essays written for Household Words, All the Year
Hound, the Cornhill Magazine, and other periodical issues of
light reading. These Miscellaneous Works of John IT oiling die ad
(Tinsley Brothers) contain much that is wortli preserving, and
will Becure him a permanent literary reputation beyond the
weekly or monthly publications in which they first appeared.
Their tone and style are that of a school which arose from the
example of “Sketches by Boz,” and from the influence of
Dickens, as an editor of this kind of articles, among the con¬
tributors to his own journal and their imitators elsewhere. Mr.
Hollingshead, indeed, lias an original vein of humorous fancy
and an ample stock of knowledge, chiefly that of middle-
class English social and domestic life, but more especially
among City men engaged in mercantile business, whose
habits of mind he perfectly understands. Ho has great
fertility of invention and skill in the arrangement of
plots and incidents, with a singularly happy faculty,
as might be expected from his success as a dramatist, of
playing off characters against one another in a scene of familiar
dialogue. We are delighted with the little story called “Shop,”
in which we see young Hackblock, the runaway soldier-sou
of a Greenwich barber, come home disguised with a big beard,
i after fourteen years of absence, to be shaved by his own father,
j in the presence of his uncle, the old sailor of Greenwich
Hospital, and his faithful cousin Fanny. The author has a
I keen perception of the weaknesses and meannesses of his
| fellow-creatures ; but liis motive for exposing them is not un¬
kindly, and his revelations may serve to put the unwary on
their guard. The tricks of low picture-dealers, of jobbers in
secondhand pianofortes, and the concoctors of patent medi¬
cines, are displayed to view with remarkable precision ; and
there will bo no excuse for any of Mr. Hollingshead’s readers
who shall hereafter become their dupe. His satire is frequently
i directed against the unscrupulous promoters of bubble joint-
stock companies aud other hollow business concerns, the work¬
ing of which he seems to have closely observed. Affectation,
and pretension to gentility, and the indulgence of troublesome
i eccentricities in matters of taste, are more gently rebuked by
his good-natured satire. The quantity and variety of topics,
both incidents of real life and themes of fiction, which M r.
Hollingshead has treated so cleverly in these papers, exceed
I what could he enumerated within the space we are able to
I afford them. Some remarkable features in the progress of what
is called our material civilisation, the appliances of mechanical
arts and arrangement? to social convenience, are described by
I Mr. Hollingshead, as an eye-witness and investigator of their
I first appearances amongst us. Such are the launch of the
I Great Eastern steam ship, and her earliest trip down the
Channel, with the frightful explosion of a steam-funnel on
i board. He rides on a locomotive engine, by day and night,

| with the express train between London and Dover, hut he
still condescends to travel to Birmingham from the City-road
Wharf, by the slow barge of the Grand Junction Canal. He
has explored the main sewers, and surveyed the gas-pipes and
water-pipes of “Underground London.” He comprehends the
official machinery of the Post Office and the telegraph system.
He has made himself at home in Aldershott Camp, on the top
of the Monument, in the Whitstable oyster-beds, and in many
other curious places, high or low, which one is apt to speculate
upon in the indulgence of an inquisitive fancy. There is an
immense amount of real information, with a great deal of
wholesome amusement, to be got out of these three volumes.

CURIOUS WILLS.

(Contributed by the Author of " Flemish Interiors, Ac")

A Poitevin gentleman, dying in 1595, made a singular will,
reported by P. Garasse, who prefaces the account byBtating that
he was an old atheist.

In the first place, he orders that liis body shall be
enveloped in a tinned pig-skin and buried perpendicularly
before the high altar of the church, on a pile of charcoal ;
giving as a reason that “ there is no other god in the world than
the incorruptibility of the body, and that charcoal aud tanned
leather are two agents sufficiently powerful to prevent putre¬
faction.”

This man had amassed considerable wealth and held the
bulk of it in coin aud jewels ; these he kept concealed in a
large ground-floor room, on the coiling of which he had
had painted the twelve signs of the zodiac and the planets.
The walla were covered with the word Grippilleiuiiii, repeated
over and over again. On the door ivas written, in Large and
grotesque characters, Qui potest cape re, capiat ; and in the
centre of the vault the inscription, Qiueri/t cl Inuenietis.

In his will he apprises liis executor that his treasures are
all contained in this room, and, according to the directions
which follow, the doors were to Ik; thrown open to the
public, aud each was to be allowed to take whatever he could
find and was able to defend from the rapacity of less fortunate
searchers. He desired that his funeral might he conducted with
every species of mirth and hilarity, aud that all who assisted at
it should carry a laurel branch instead of a taper. It was
at the conclusion of this ceremony that the vault was to be
opened and the marauding scramble was to take place. Alas !
for the speculators ; during their master’s illness, the servants,
it was found, had one by one decamped after clearing out
betw een them the entire hoard.

A baronetcy has been conferred on Mr. John Kelk the well-
known contractor.

At Rhyl a children’s home and convalescent hospital was
opened on Thursday week by the Bishop of Bangor.

An emigrant-ship, the Somersetshire, bound from London
to Melbourne, with 300 passengers on board, ran upon the
1 lymouth Breakwater, last Saturday morning, during a fog
Fortunatdy assistance was at hand, and the ship was got off
without being much the worse.

ccDc.rn.ng the loss of the lianneys, which struck on the
Spanish I .edges, Sally Islands, on March 10, has resulted in
the suspension of the ceitificate of the master, Motes Tvrer
for two years it having been proved that the accident' wai
caused through the master’s intoxication.

WORCESTER AND BIRMINGHAM CHESS CLUBS.

(To the Editor of the Illustrated London Sews.)

Worcester, April 18, 1874.

Sir,—In the chess column of the Illustrated London New of to-day,
April 18, in a quotation from the annual report of tin? Birmingham Chess
Club, it is stated that, in their second match with Worcester, they (tho
Birmingham (Tub) won by three games. This is not correct: the dif¬
ference was one game only. I refer you to the report of the same, with
the score, in the Illustrated London Nem of June 14, 1873. Your kind
insertion of this will oblige.

Yours, faithfully, J. Wood,

Hon. Secretary to the Worcester Chess Club.

CHESS INTELLIGENCE.

The very One game, published recently in the Field, between Herr

Zukertort and Mr. S-(the former giving the odds of the Knight), was

part of a match played under very remarkable circumstances. Mr. S-

is no other than tne famous Russian player Scbnmoff, many of whose
games with Petroff, Jnenisch. and the Princes Umssnff (fur readers will
find in earlier volumes of the Illustrated London Nrwft. He and Herr
Zukertort met some years ago at Wiesbaden, and after a series of even
games had ended, without exception, in favour of the German master,
Mr. Schumoff proposed in joke that he should receive the odds of a piece.
In consequence, a little match wax arranged for a nominal stake, Mr.
Schumoff receiving the odds of the Knight, but having to win seven games
liefore his opponent scored four. T he Jirst two games were won Ivy tho
giver of odds, the next by Mr. Schumoff, and the fourth bv Hon* Zukertort;
upon which the Russian player resigned, not without reason. This chess
feat is almost without a parallel in the history of the game, if w 0 except
the match in which Mr. Staunton successfully gave the odds of Pawn and
two moves to Harrwitz a few years before the drawn match between the
latter and Anderssen. It shows Herr Zukertort to be probably now the
greatest connoisseur in this department of the game, of which an admirable
instance is given in this month's numt>er of the City of London Magazine
in the game between Herr Zukertort and Count Epureano. We shall
insert, in a future Number, one or two of his games at odds, never before
published in English periodicals.

The only pending chess-match—that between Messrs Bird and Lord,
the former betting two to one—is still unfinished. Mr. Bird has won four
games out of the required seven, his opponent not having succeeded in
even drawing one. Tho present pause is not an uncommon feature in a
match under such circumstances.

At a recent meeting of the committee of the London Chess Club a
hearty vote of thanks was passed to Messrs. Potter and Stein it'/ the
managers of the correspondence match with Vienna, an I by a unanimous
vote the whole available balance of the winnings was handed to them, as
a slight recognition of tho immense ability and energy they bad devoted
to the task.

Chess Encounter.— A chess-match between the Worcester and the
Cheltenham duns took place on Thursday in the Lecture Hall of the
Natural History Society, Worcester, on invitation of the former club
Play commenced about 2 80 p.m., and was carried on until the last train
to Cheltenham became due. The result proved in favour of the Worcester
Club, the score being 7 games to «, and 4 drawn games. The com¬
batants afterwardsi partook.of[an elegant repast, provided by Mmintforrt
and presided over by the Right Hon. Lord Lyttelton, the Rev. Sir Gilbert
K Lewis, Bart occupying the vice-chair, beside whom we noticed the
following present., most of whom had taken part in the match r

&rch«ologu of the gjtonth.

Two collections of fine old porcelain have been dispersed during
the past month. First was the collection of the Hon. Francis
Forbes, deceased, late of Geneva, sold by Christie and Co.;
rich iu specimens of lino old Dresden, A lenna, and Marcohni
services ; Berlin, Furstenburg, Frankenthal, Oriental, and
other porcelain ; snuffboxes, watches, and old German clocks.
Among the other rarities were a pair of groups of Dresden
figures) “ Asia and Africa,” sold for £10S ; and a magnificent
old centrepiece, a basket pierced and encrusted with figures,
birds, and dowers, on an oval plinth, painted with plants and
mounted with metal-gilt, four Chinese figures riding on birds,
and groups of swans, hen and chickens, all en mite, brought
£913 ; the three days’ sale, £2660.

The second celebrated collection sold was that of Mr. W,
Eel kins, comprising the finest known examples of Bristol and
Plymouth porcelain, sold by Sotheby and Co., and attesting the
growing appreciation of the beauties of the finest old English
manufacturers, as well as the increasing rarity of really good
examples. Amongst them was a pair of Worcester hexagonal
vases and covers, each painted with exotic birds in a landscape,
brought £300 ; a Worcester vase, painted with exotio birds,
£111. The total of the three days’ sale was upwards of £6100.

At Jerusalem has been discovered a marble head of natural
size, on the edge of the old Nablous road, thirty metres north
of the Tombs of the Kiugs—that is, some minutes’ walk from
the Damascus Gate. The head is that of a man; the beard is
short and curly ; the hair is abundant, with thick locks, which
cover a portion of the forehead. He bears a crown of laurels,
the two branches of which are attached to a medallion, on
which is engraved very distinctly a camel and an eagle, symbol
of sovereign power. The style is entirely Roman, and the
effect of the whole is striking and imposing, clearly a portrait,
and not a vulgar type—the head of the Emperor Hadrian, who
placed 1m own statue in the temple of Jupiter Capitolinas. On
the site of the temple were two statues. St. Jerome expressly
says, in his commentary on Isaiah, 44 Where were formerly the
temple and worship of God are now placed the statue of
Hadrian and the idol of Jupiter ; ” and tho same writer speaks
of 44 the equestrian statue of Hadrian, which to this day stands
upon the site of the Holy of Holies.” Pausanias, too, speaks
of a statue of Jupiter and that of Hadrian, and of two statues
of Hadrian standing before the temple of Jupiter Olympus.

Among the fragments lately brought over to the British
Museum, in continuation of Mr. Wood’s excavations on the
site of the Temple of Diana at Ephesus, are some portions,
principally bas-reliefs, of the older temple, on the same site;
dedicated to the same goddess, and erected in the sixth century.
ThcBO sculptures in some respects resemble those from Brau-
chidie or Miletus. At the Royal Institution, Mr. Newman, of the
British Museum, has illustrated Mr. Wood’s recent discoveries
at Ephesus, and the uses to which the newly-discovered temple
has been applied. It was at once a museum, a bank, and a
mint, containing great stores of bullion and bars of gold; and an
inscription from the temple stated that it lent money both to the
State and to individuals, and received deposits and leased lands.
Mr. Newman, while pointing out that the Ephesim Diana was
a purely Asiatic deity, and not to be confounded with the Greek
huntress, remarked on the facility with which the Greeks, on
settling in Asia Minor, adopted the unknown goddess and
grouped around her a number of new legends.

A curious Greek sun-dial has been discovered by M. O.
Rayet, at Heraclea (Patmos). The style was the only part
wanting in the dial when discovered. But, most remarkable
about this ancient dial iB tbe presence of seven parallel arcs of
circles, at such a distance apart that each of them would be
traversed by the shadow of the point of the style when tbe sun
was in the middle of one of the signs of the zodiac. A Greek
inscription states the instrument to be dedicated to Ptolemy,
the King of Philadelphos, and its date is probably the early
part of the third century B.c.

London topographers will regret to hear that the large
old house on Chiswick Mall, formerly Whittingkam’s Chiswick
Press, has been pulled down, ami its materials sold. It was
formerly an appanage to Westminster School. Some archi¬
tectural remains anil carving, parts of an ancient structure,
have been excavated.

The Somerset Archaeological and Natural History Society
is in treaty for the purchase of Taunton Castle, its fixtures
and furniture.

A number of fine old tapestries, from the palaces of tbe
Marquis of Salamanca, at Madrid and Vista Allegra, have been
sold by Messrs. Christie anil Co. Of the old French were four
pieces of Gobelins tapestry, which were presented by Louis XVI.
to the Spanish Ambassador, Count d’Aranda, and are similar to
the tapestries in the great drawing-room at Windsor Castle,
representing subjects taken from the story of .Jason and Medea,
with the arms of France at the top aud fieur-de-lis at the
corners, aigued “ Gazette, 1744,” sold in one lot for £3885.

The excavations at the^Coliseum, Rome, are proceeding, and
on the Esqnilinecoutinue to furnish interesting results. A statue
of Fortune has been found in an ancient Roman house recently
unearthed, and au exact reproduction of the sculpture had been
painted in fresco on one of the walls. Among tbe discoveries
made in the Villa Alteri is an admirable onyx cameo of
oval form, 58 millemetres by 43, the relief representing two
half figures, veiled. On the left side of the Via Meru Lana
has been brought to light a vast hall, one end terminating in a
circular apse, around which five square niches open out. The
walls are covered with a conchc of vermilion, on which are
designed griffin-shaped ornaments, comic masks, &c In the
interior of the niches are painted garden view's, with exotic
plants and flowers, on which are perched birds, gracefully
designed, which archieologists, says the Mornlmj Post, propose
to preserve.

The discovery of the bones of John Talbot, first Earl of
Salop, in Whitchurch parish church, has excited considerable
interest. The bones are, beyond doubt, none other than those
of the great Talbot, who fell at Chatillon, in France, A.D. 1483.

Some interesting relics of antiquity have been recently found
on the irrigation farm which is situated between Croydon ami
Beddington, both in Surrey, and about two miles from the
former place. Mr. Waterall has inspected these curiosities,
which were dug up by some workmen whilst doing their
work on the farm previously mentioned at the depth of only
18 in. from the surface. They consist of portions of a broken
shield, spear heads, some small pieces of pottery, and a few
human teeth, perfect. It is conjectured that these object#
formerly belonged to a Roman warrior, and that a battle was
fought at this spot. These Roman relics have been taken to
the house of a gentleman close to where they -were found, and
it is suggested eventually to place them in the Public Hall at
Croydon. On tbe irrigation farm, also, near the spot where
these articles were discovered, the remains of a Roman villa
have been brought to light ; but, unfortunately, very little of
it can be seen, as one of the sewers belonging to the Croydon
local board of health has been carried through it.

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS, May 2, 1874. 428

“A YOUNG GREEK WOMAN.”

In this water-colour drawing, which, we engrave from the exhi¬
bition at the Dudley Gallery, the accomplished lady artist, Miss
Edith Martineau, sets us speculating as to whence she derived
her model. It maybe that the model is a veritable modern
Greek maiden, but it is perhaps more likely that she is an
Englishwoman, selected for the antique purity of her type, and
witli her hair l>ound with fillets and knotted behind, after the
Greek mode, and her thin white robe, also fashioned and
fastened in accordance therewith. We Britons may well be
proud of the beauty of our sisters. It is a constant theme of
admiration with foreign visitors ; and what astonishes them
most is the great variety yet purity of the types noth of the
fair and dark races to be found amongst us. Besides the tall,
distingu^ beauties with blonde ringlets and slightly aquiline
noses, which by the untravelled Frenchman are supposed to be
the essential characteristics of the Meet Anglaise, we have
smaller nutbrown maids with raven hair, witch like eyes, and
provoking petit nez-retroussd, like the Spaniards; we have
noble, golden-haired creatures, fair, and round, and strong, like
the North Germans ; we have pale, olive-tinted, stately queens,
majestic as the true Roman women of the
Trastevere ; we have, in Scotland and elsewhere,

Greek goddesses, such as we see here, with
adorable red hair; the purity of Raphael, the expres¬
siveness of Leonardo, the luxurious forms and hues
of Titian, the redundant sensuousness of Rubens,
are all to be found in English models—even occa¬
sionally the fascinating elegance of the French¬
woman, who can afford to dispense with the higher
traits of beauty. In this drawing the pale back¬
ground, the white drapery, the greyish colouring,
and rather flat treatment, help to complete the
resemblance to an antique fresco or bas-relief
tinted. _

“ PARTED FRIENDS.”

The group by Mr. Halse which we have engraved
has a meaning too simple, direct, and well expressed
to require comment. Many and pleasant, doubt¬
less, were the associations of the two friends;
many were the joyous rambles, the playful frolics,
the exciting escapades which they enjoyed in com¬
pany. Death has now taken one, and, be sure, not
the least faithful, of the friends; but affection is
not wanting in the survivor, and many another
sad dog will find no mourner so sincere.

“ A GIPSY.”

Our Engraving can but suggest the rich colour¬
ing of the original picture by the favourite German
painter G. Richter. It does, however, closely
indicate the picturesque characteristics of the
Roumany tribes, which this little waif embodies
so vividly, and which the picture reproduces with
so much truth and spirit. Few things are more re¬
markable in the history of humanity than the isola¬
tion of the gipsy race. In the case of another
Oriental peojue—the Jews—such isolation is easy
to understand ; for they have an elevating and ela¬
borately exclusive religion, which encourages the
egotistical illusion that they are a divinely-chosen
and peculiar people. But the gipsies possess, it
seems, scarcely any religion whatever. Yet, con¬
temned and despised outcasts as they are, placed as
they have been under the ban of every country and
creed of Europe, they, notwithstanding, preserve
every trait, and even a language, that bespeaks
their origin in the far East; they still regard them¬
selves as forming the aristocracy of wild nature ;
and to this day it is for them a degradation worse
than death to ally themselves to the Christian. This
little urchin is a pure type of his breed. We see it
in the rough and ragged garments with which he is
partially clad, in his bronzed skin tanned to a deeper
nue by exposure to all weathers, in that matted
shock of unkempt raven hair, in that fervid face all
athirst for fresh adventure ; in those gleaming, rest¬
less black eyes, so full of intelligence, that must,
perforce, degenerate into cunning.

“UNE PAYSANNE FRANCAISE.”

In this country, w here the public is so cold to even
the finest works of sculpture (witness the Outram
and Hardinge of Foley), a furore has seldom been
excited so great as that which, on its exhibition last
year at tho Academy, greeted the group, by M.

Dalou, which we have engraved. The material was
novel, for visitors had seldom, if ever, before seen
at Burlington House or Trafalgar-square a work
so large in terra cotta. Then, the unflinching realism,
the complete absence of idealisation, was a surpriso.

This woman, with her sabots, her rough, scant
raiment, and her swathed head, was in very truth
a French peasant — in coarseness of form and com¬
monness of feature, as W’ell as in dress. No doubt
the model was copied from the life with extraordinary
fidelity. Then, again, the sentiment of maternity
was as unquestionably conveyed with great force
and firmness. The action of the mother giving suck
to her babe^so unconscious of indelicacy), though
rendered as the French themselves might phrase it,
with a naUett brutal *, was so touchingly natural as
to become quite pathetic. That the group, however, with all
its rare aud undeniable merit, possessed qualities of a genuinely
high order, or that it exemplifies a right employment of sculp¬
ture, we are far from admitting. We shall, however, probably
have another opportunity shortly for discussing M. Dalou’s
talent.

FINE ARTS.

INSTITUTE OF PAINTERS IN WATER COLOURS.

The exhibitions of this society have gained largely in recent
years by the freedom with which new members have been
added from at home and abroad. This was, the first
body of English artists which attached to itself a class of
honorary members. In addition, this society has lately elected
several new associates without requiring from them the for¬
mality (which some artists might not unreasonably regard as a
humiliation) of entering their names or soliciting for admission.
This last liberality has secured an accession to the ranks of
Messrs. J. Hardy, inn., J. W. Oakes, W. Simpson, J. Tenniel,
and J. Wolf; all of whom, with the exception of Mr. Oakes,
are represented, though sparingly.

The institute is to be warmly congratulated on >*» policy.
Any art-sooiety might be proud of the -feUowah.p of John
Temiiel, though this time he sends only a small, but'withal
humorous and spirited, version of the ** Arabian ^ lghts s ry
of •• Alnaschar and His Basket of Glass 3. Wolf, too, a *
valuable acquisition; his great merit in his owm specialty is
widely known through book illustrations and designs in tms
Journal, though he has very rarely exhibited in public galleries.
We need hardly say that for extensive and accurate knowledge
of the life and character of wild animals, and for imaginative
use of that knowledge, he is without a rival in this country.
He contributes only one example, but that one is characteristic
of bis power—“Broken Fetters ” (148), a great golden eagle
soaring sublime through the misty air to its native mountain
eyrie with a severed chain hanging from its talons. Of Mr.
W. Simpson we lately spoke in reviewing the exhibition of
his worKs in Piccadilly. He has sent a “Group of Figures
from the Marriage ProcessioM of the Emperor of China, I ekin
(227)—one of the sketches made by Mr. Simpson during the
journey round the world which he undertook as special artist
of the Illustrated, London News.

From the honorary members the collection is enriched by a

“ FARTED FRIENDS.” BY G. HALSE.

FROM THE ROYAL ACADEMY EXHIBITION OF LAST YEAR.

study (04) for tho remarkable picture by Mr. Herbert, R.A,
exhibited at the Academy a few years back under tho motto
“ Laborarc cst orarc,” representing the monks of St. Bernard’s
Monastery, •Leicestershire, cutting their harvest; “A Tiff
Between Two Old Lovers ” (15), by the distinguished but now
aged Belgian painter, Madou, in which the imminent recon¬
ciliation of the old couple in laughter or in tears is most
liumoiously indicated ; and by tho Dutch master, Israels, a
drawing of a girl making a child’s under-garment in “The
Orphan House ’ (47). There is true artistic keeping between
the pathetic suggestiveness of the figure of the semptress seated
solitary and silent at the window near twilight, and the sad
and broken, yet broad, simple, and clear tones of shadow which
pervade the poor apartment.

Among the works by regular contributors there is nothing
more remarkable than Mr. J. D. Linton’s “Lotus-Eaters” (58)
a party of fifteenth-century Italian gallants and ladies whiling
away the time in a cloistered pleasaunce, where, perhaps, they
have sought sanctuary from alarms of war, or, .like Boccaccio's
refugees, from terror of the plague. Two fair young dames
listlessly inspect a bronze of Cupid held toward® them by some
itinerant hawker of antiques or poor Cellini of the period

In no drawing now publicly exhibited can we recall figures so
accurately drawn, so completely achev6, as this hawker or
sculptor and two or three of those lazy and limp signores and
signoras. Moreover, the drawing has very rare qualities of
soft harmonious colour and tone in a quiet, broken key.

Mr. Herkomer furnishes a contrast to the last-named
painter in his neglect of chiaroscuro and tone. His figures
cast no shadow' on ground or wall, though they are modelled
under a sufficiently direct effect of light and shade. The
influence of Mr. Frederick Walker, of the other society is
oddly enough, more perceptible here (in the works of Messrs!
Herkomer, Small, Gow, and Green) than in Pall-mall East.

An undue insistence on the outlines, which is apt to be
engendered by designing (as do the artists named) for the
wood-engraver, is also more observable in this gallery. Roth
peculiarities are distinctly apparent in Mr. Herkomer’s
“ Arrest of a Poacher in the Bavarian Alps ” (158). For ability
in draughtsmanship and vigour of characterisation (pushed,
however, almost to caricature) this drawing must stand high.
But, owing to a too free use of body-colour and that hardness
of contour alluded to, the figures are not sufficiently rounded
and relieved, the lights are chalky or pasty, the shadows con¬
fused and embroiled. Mr. Small likewise employs
body-colour extensively, but with more reference to
local colour and gradation. His wild “ Connemara
Peat Girl M (48), with her creel at her back, and
“Evening” (166), with children gathering felled
wood, have something of the technical complexity
of the works of the Tate Mr. Mason, though they
have little pretence to the charm of sentiment
which pervaded all he did. Mr. Gow’s work¬
manship is much more minutely elaborate, but,
at the same time, rather insubstantial and wanting
in breadth. His intelligence and humour are,
however, not tho less acceptable in “ Lord Fopp-
ington’s Lev^e ” (50). Mr. C. Green is less a
mannerist than any other of this group of artists :
see his “ Council of War ” (200), in which a British
General of the Duke* of-Cumberland period, a young
Austrian officer, and a Polish huBsar are seated in
a stable consulting a map.

Mr. H. B. Roberts baa, with some of the man¬
nerism, a great deal of the merit of the Scotch
school. There is truth to Nature, as well as genuine
drollery, in 11 The Dawn of Love ” (36), a country
lass inserting a rose in the button-hole of a ra¬
diant young clodhopper; and still more, perhaps,
in “The Old Gardener” (210), a small vividly-
lifelike study of a comical, weather-beaten old face.

In “A Fisherman’s Home, Scheveningen” (23)
Mr. H. Carter has closely imitated lus master,
Israels ; but something is still wanting in subtlety
of feeling and purity of method to complete tho
resemblance. With mention of Mr. Kilburne’s
illustration of Dickens’s “ Edith and Florence ”
(137) ; “The Tyrant-Convalescent” (42), by Mr.

W. L. Thomas; and contributions by Messrs.
Absolon, Skill, and E. H. Corbould, we must close
our observations on the more noticeable figure-
subjects.

The landscapes seem to demand detailed notice in
a less degree. It is enough to say that the following
well-known members are represented, viz. :—Mr.

L. Haghe, in Italian as well as Low Countries' in¬
teriors, most important among the former being a
large drawring of Pope Pius IX. “administering
the communion to tbe gentlemen of bis household
aud to persons of distinction in the Sistine Chapel
of the Vatican” (142), in which, however, the
great frescoes of Michael Angelo are rendered
with a distinctness that is far from justified by
their actual appearance ; Mr. Leitch, in drawings
marked by the artists’ unfailing feeling for grace
of composition and sweetness of effect; Mr.
Vacher, in a panorama, as broad as ever, of tho
“Pyramids of Glizeh” (19); Mr. Rowbottom, in
subjects at home and abroad, aa deft, and not
more artificial than usual; Mr. D’Egville, in
Venetian views, mellow and pleasing, but trite ;
Mr. J. Mogford, in “Coder Idris” (154). where
the artist is Been to more advantage than in his
coast scenes, which have begun, palpably, to
betray studio sophistication ; Mr. Carl Werner, in
a careful—only too careful—view of tbe great
bazaar at Damascus (172); Mr. H. Johnson, in a
more than commonly meritorious drawing of “ Tbe
Umbrian Apennines” (153), which recalls the grace
in arrangement and amenity of effect of Mr. Leitch ;
and Messrs. J. C. Reed, J. W. Whimper, W. M.
May, and Fahey, father and son, in their customary
specialties.

Strange to say (though the same thing obtains
as regards Mr. F. Walker), David Cox finds more
followers here than in the society to which he be¬
longed. Messrs. T. Collier, E. M. Wimpcris, and
J. Orrock draw their inspiration, more or leas, from
that master’s large and noble readings of nature, yet
each maintain differences of distinctive merit, as
may be seen by comparing Mr. Collier’s “ Moun¬
tain Gloom” (145) and “ Arundel Park ” (74), Mr.
Wimperis’s “Carting Hay” (45), “A Moorland”
(31), and “The Ogwen Valley” (7), and Mr.
Orrock’s “ Lincoln ” (130) and two views of Stirling
(89and 144). Mr. Penson’s “Peat Gatherers” (55) is
also remarkable for breadth. Breadth of another
kind—less frank and masculine, but tender and
refined, and very happily expressive when employed, as it
almost invariably is, to render the twilight time in it®
serenest moods—will be found in Mr. Hine’s “ Chancton-
bury Ring ” (62) and “ Folkington Hill ” (133). Nevertheless,
we confess we begin to tire of the tamo monotony of these
Sussex downs. “Tilling the Ground in Normandy” (27)
is the single contribution of Mr. Beavis, who paints human
figures, animals, and landscape with equal ability, and unites
the whole with spirit and in harmony. Mr. R. Carrick’s “ Boy
and Cows ” (116) is singularly brilliant—indeed, somewhat
forced—in colour and effect. Mr. E. Hayes’s “ Morning Storm
Clearing off—Scarborough ” (69), with boats with slackened
sails weltering in tho “ swell,” is the most striking marine piece
here. Lastly, Mr. Hargitt, though, according to his wont,
unequal, has two exceptionally good drawings—an extensive
view of “ Brading Haven, Isle of Wight ” (40), and “Evening ”
(117), with Scotch cattle, and swelling cumuli tinctured by the
last rays of sunset.

Ou Saturday last the siege of Bilbao was raised, by tb
entrance into the city of the third corps of the Nation*]
Army of Spain, under the command of General Conch {

The relief was effected not a day too soon. It is d
ful whether Bilbao could have held out above a week
longer against the beleaguering Carliat forces, strongly
established on the neighbouring heights. The fall of the
city into the hands of Don Carlos, though perhaps it
would not have done much towards ensuring the success
of his cause, would have destroyed tho prestige aud
influence of tho Spanish Government, of winch Marshal
Serrano is President. Not long since there seeinei
reason to suppose that the military strength of Spain—
so much of it, at least, as could be organised and con¬
centrated by the President Marshal—might prove
unequal to the task of breaking up the formidable
lines of defence established by the skill of the Cariist
leaders. General Moriones had rushed upon those
lines and found defeat. Marshal Serrano had sub-
seqnentty pushed hard against tkoui and obtained some
partial success, but he also ascertained by Ins recon¬
noitring experiment that further reinforcements and a
different plan of attack would be required to accomplish
the object he had in view. To gain time for tho bring¬
ing up of a third army corps was a necessity for his
success, which probably led him to connive at, if not fco-
originate, negotiations between the two armies, which,
while they excited strong discontent at Madrid, served
to amuse and to delude the enemy whom he sought to
dislodge. As yet, no one can say with certainty what
messages—or, peradventure, what conditions of psacc—
were interchanged between the chiefs of the confroutad
armies. Thus much, however, is now clear. Serrano
made the best use of the time so gained to bring upon
the ground large additional reinforcements. The issue
is now before the world. The strong positions of the
Carlists were turned by General Concha, and were suc¬
cessively abandoned by his antagonists, and on Saturday
last Bilbao threw open its gates, not to the besieging
host, but to the National Army, which had at length
achieved its relief.

How is this event to be interpreted ? What is the
meaning with which it is fraught 1 Its importance may,
perhaps, be over-estimated; but, on the other hand, it
touches at almost eveiy vital part the national interests
of the Spani sh people. Judging from a similar passage
of history relating to the same part of the world soin*
forty years ago, the relief of Bilbao does not necessarily
imply the immediate dispersion of the Cariist forces,
nor the instantaneous conclusion of the civil war. It isl
doubtful, however, whether the Cariist army can much
longer be held together as a military unity. Tho
spring of its hope lias been broken. The bond oij
its faith has been tom asunder. Its success has touched j
its zenith. It can no longer retain the discipline*
and strength which a week ago were nourished by
the inspiration of a confident reliance upon the
realisation of its mission. Why it was ever permitted
to come together and to organise itself into a formidable
army, it will be for the Government of Spain to explain
hereafter. It needs not, however, any superhuman fore¬
sight to divine that the time will not be very long
before tho Cariist army will melt into detached shreds!
which, scattered over the mountainous districts of the
Biscayan provinces, like sparks from a conflagration
already mastered, will serve only to prolong a vague
sense of danger, and to disquiet the population upon
whose resources they will prey.

The raising of the siege of Bilbao appears likely to
infuse something approaching to vitality into the
Government installed at Madrid by the daring inter¬
vention of General Pavia. The conclusion of the*Cariist
war, following the suppression of the Intransigente in¬
surrectionists who had seized upon Carfchagena, will
furnish to the public of Spain a raison d’etre for the
usurpation. Probably the Spanish people will acquiesce,
not merely of necessity, but also in goodwill, in leaving
the reins of supreme government in the hands which for
some time past have held them. Very much, however,
will depend upon the use made by Serrano and his
associates of the power which they wield. It is to be
borne m mind that both Marshal Serrano and General
rprHL, , M ° narclu3 ^ by preference. It is not at all
^J h f^ ley W,U . be fanatical in the practical
assertion of their principles. The antecedents of both
render it extremely unlikely that they would be able to
agree as to the application of their theory to any pav-
ticular mcbvidual. Still, the supremacy of Serrano in
his civil office and the rehabilitation of a national army
d f a P? sal of hls Government may prove immensely
raeful at the present time in suppressing any insurrcc-

Vasis than that which is supplied to it by military vio¬
lence, even though it can boast of great military success.
The Cabinet extemporised by General Pavia, and subject
to Marshal Serrano as the nominal Chief of the Republic,
may be competent for some months to come to continue to
direct the public affairs of the country. Theirs, however,
can be but preparatory work at best. It is not to be ex¬
pected that Spain will resume her place in the comity of
European States, or will be recognised by other Govern¬
ments of the first class as normally organised, until, by
re me means or other, the will of the Spanish people has
been legitimately expressed. The last Cortes was a
political abortion, and became very soon a political
nuisance. But it is to be remembered that in its
election only one section of the people, and that the
extreme^ democratic section, took part. It never had
any real constitutional authority. It never exercised
any moral influence for good. It was never, in any in¬
telligible and true sense, representative of Spain. That
may have been the fault, and was the fault, of the con¬
stituent bodies, swayed by the bad example of the chiefs
of political parties. The large majority of the electors
selfishly and sulkily declined to perform their duty. It
is not likely they will do so a second time. It is
even less likely that they will he encouraged to do so
by Serrano and his supporters. It may, therefore, we
tliink, be surmised that as soon as the way is cleared for
action a new Cortes will be called. At this point, pre¬
vision becomes misty and uncertain. One can only con¬
jecture, and that with extreme diffidence, as to the form
of government which Spain will indicate her will to
establish. Carlism is clearly out of the question.
Ali'onsoism presents but few attractions, save to
a small j)arty. The same may bo said of

Ucntpensierism. The Monarchists will find it dif¬
ficult, if not impossible, to agree upon a Monarch.
The nation does not appear to insist upon a return
to Royalty. They did without it under Brim,
and they have done without it since the abdication of
Amadeus. Probably they are not Republicans by con¬
viction, but they are willing to acquiesce in Republican¬
ism if it be only conservative of political and social
order. But all this, we Tepeat, is mere speculation.
Those who look upon Spain from a stand-point outside
of her are naturally perplexed as to her future, though
they cannot despair of it. IT his, however, is a conclusion
which they will generally adopt—that the present
Government, whatever may be the value of their services
and however brilliant the victory they have lately
achieved, have still before them the most arduous and
dangerous enterprise which their usurpation has imposed
upon them—namely, to reconstitute an organised poli¬
tical authority to which all the patriotism of the country
will contentedly do homage.

ROMAN COLISEUM NEAR TUNIS.

When Northern Africa was a province of Imperial Rome, tho
vast Flavian amphitheatre was copied at Thysdnis, a city of
Byzacium, above one hundred miles south of lums and
Carthage. The place is now called LI Djem, and the grand
mins of the Coliseum there are shown m our Illustration. 1 Ins
is from one of a set of photographs which were sent us, test
June by Mr. F. Ritchie, photographic artist, from Biserta, m
the Regency of Tunis. Ho wrote us an acconnt of his three-
days’ journey, accompanied by his brotbor, from Tunis to LI
Djem, with a description of tho place. The Coliseum was seen
miles away, rising high above the plain, from amidst tao sur¬
rounding olive-groves. Mr. Ritchie says On tho last day
of our sojourn at El Djem we measured the length and breadth
of the building two or three times, so as to bo quite sura as to
the accuracy of tho dimensions. We found it to bo 4SS ft. m
length by 404 ft. G in. in breadth. When we had finished, one
of our many followers wanted us to descend into a pitch-
dark room, from which, he said, there was a subtorran-au
passage ; but, having no lights with us, we declined the offar.
The tm’ng that strikes one most on seeing the African Coliseum
for tho first time is its grandeur ; and then, tho wanton nqgleab
and destruction of it by the Arabs. Somewhat more than a
century ago it was in almost a perfect stato of preservation,
until tho Arabs, in a rebellion about that time, ma le a fort -
fication of it; and the Bey then reigning had such difficulty m
dislodging them that he pulled down the western gate and part
of the southern side, so as to render it useless as a fortification
for the futuro. Since that time the Arabs have been palling it
down and carrying it away piece by pieces in fact, all t ic
village of El Djem, which has a population of 1000, is b lilt
with these materials. There being no stone whatever hoar
El Djem, tho Romans must have brought the stoue for the
Coliseum at least forty miles, as that is the nearest poiut where
stone is to be found. The interior is in an almost entire stUo
of ruin as regards the seats ; but the feature of this Coliseum,
which excels all others, is in its exterior and circular fa . Acs.
These, which constitute the chief characteristic beauty of such
an edifice, are almost in a perfect state of preservation. TJyrc
is ono satisfaction here which is not found in examining offiher
famous remains of antiquity at the present day. Iu wandcri 14
through the building one can look at its walls and stro’l
through the lofty galleries, thinking of the past, without bein ;
rudely recalled to the present by seeing the name of Jqao3,
Brown, or Robinson, or some other English or American liana
staring one in the face. Indeed, 1 might include names of all
the other European nations, as this mean and silly practice is

{From our Correspondent in Paris.)

Thursday, May 7.

The political situation remains unchanged, all attempts to bring
about a reconciliation between the Government and the
majority having as yet signally failed. The ultimatum pre¬
sented to the Cabinet by the extreme Eight was the unreserved
abandonment of the contemplated constitutional laws, to the
bringing forward of which the Due de Broglie pledged liunseif
on the eve of the recess. The natural effect of these measures
would he to consolidate Marshal MacMakon’s present pre¬
carious tenure of power, a consummation which the Boyaust 3
appear most anxious to prevent. The Government has refused,
however, to accept their ultimatum, and we may look forward
to some exciting Parliamentary contests on the meeting of the

^Sowing the persecution of the Republican municipalities
comes that of the Republican professors. M. de Fourton, the
Due de Broglie’s present Minister of Public Instruction, only
came into office a few months ago, but he lias already effected a
complete revolution in educational affairs. One of his nu¬
merous victims is M. Joubin, principal of the Angers Lycee,
removed simply because the lycee, under his skilful manage¬
ment, was rapidly becoming a redoubtable rival to the clerical
fchcols of the town, which happened to bo patronised by the
Archbishop, Mgr. Krcppei. Another victim is M. Duvaux,
professor at the Lycee of Nancy, who owes his dismissal to the
fact of his being a member of the departmental general council,
and to his not having always voted in accordance with the
views of the pvefet. M. Alglave, of the Faculty of Douai, has
thrice had his lectures suspended during the last six months
simply because he occasionally combats the Government’s
educational schemes in a scientific journal which ho edits.
The Minister has, moreover, removed a young professor of
the Lycee of Dieppe from his functions for having published
a volume of verpea, the sentiments expressed in which were
not precisely in accordance with hi3 own reactionary doctrines,

1 ffides having dismissed JM. Albert Leroy, professor at
Versailles, a stanch Republican, who repeatedly suffered
ur.ccx the Finn ire for his freedom of lauguage. The last
piecccdirg of this singularly active Minister lias been the
clanging of the name of the former Lycee Bonaparte, which
the Government of Sept. 4 had re-christoned the Lycee

nine o’clock Urn Marshal laid the first stone of some new
barracks, and, after paying a visit to Messrs. Marne’s printing
establishment, passed the garrison in review, in the environs or
the town, leaving late in the afternoon for Sauinur, the cavalry
school of uhich he was desirous of inspecting. The Marshal
returned to Paris on Tuesday night. He appears to have been
respectfully received everywhere, but was invariably greeted by
the crowd with shouts of Vivo la Ropublique ! ”

A congress of the Legitimist organs of the provincial press
luis been held at Tours, at which some sixty of the more
insignificant newspapers published in Franco were represented.
Fcity of them have coolly signed a declaration expressive of
tlicir regret that the Assembly has not yet established the
Monarchy, and indicating that, in their opinion, the restoration
of the Count de Chambord is the only means of saving France !

M. Piccon, the Separatist deputy for Nice, whose recent
speech caused such a sensation, has forwarded his resignation
to the President of the National Assembly.

The Salon has opened this year with almost as large a
number of works of ai t exposed as used to line the walk of the
Palais des Champs Elysdes in the palmiest days of the Second
Empire. Among them are plenty of mere costume and furni¬
ture pieces from Alma Tadema’s tenth plague of Egypt in the
days of the Pharaohs to M. Edouard Morin’s Boulevard scene
after the latest Parisian mode; with no end of archaic interiors
peopled with draped manikins, classical and biblical epics
illustrated by artists’ models, uco-Greek and lata Bois de
Boulogne idylls, battles, bacchantes, bathers, and Bedouins,
and Spanish, Italian, Norman, and Breton peasants. There is
one grand work, however, which stands prominently forward—
the crucified Christ of M. Bonnat, an incident which has been
painted ten thousand times, but never in a more reverent,
earnest, and conscientious spirit. The subject is simply
Christ nailed to the cross, without any accessories beyond
a dark, lurid sky and some patches of rocky ground.
The treatment, however, is highly poetical, and at the same
time scrupulously realistic. Ono is awed and painfully
fascinated by the agonised expression of the upturned face,
while lost in admiration at the marvellous rendering of the
muscles, the skilful foreshortening of the features, and the
v. < ndtrful anatomical knowledge which the perfect delineation
of i lie nude frame displays. The flesh tints, too, are singularly
ti ai sparent, and their strong light and shade are rendered with
toi;* ummate skill. The white drapery which girds tho Saviour’s
ioinp, the crown of thorns encircling his brows, tho wood-work
aud nails of the cross, have all been painted with the most
sci iq ulous care. This work is destined to surmount the judg-
miiit scat of the new Criminal Court at tho Paris Palais do
Justice; and, often while fixing the gaze of some penitent
prise i or, will quite unconsciously attract towards it thousands
cf idle eyes. M „ . . .

by a few moments’ relaxation which he has seized from ms
multitudinous pursuits to play some air on Ins favourite flute.
The King has his hack turned towards us, and M. Gerome has
not sho\v?» himself above petty national prejudices by repre¬
senting him not only in an undi^mfied, but in an ungainly and
even ridiculous attitude as he leans forward to scan the piece
of music be is playing. Perched above is the bust of some
musical celebrity of the epoch smiling contemptuously down on
the Royal performance, which appears to have ssnt the Km" 3
doers—one of whom has taken possession of his master s chair,
wlnle the others lie stretched full length on the ground sound
asleep. Every single detail of this picture is painted to per¬
fection, from the features of Frederick down to the ormoulu
writing-table, and the music-book, inkstand, and papers that
encumber it, the letters with which the floor is strewn, tho map3
and books in various bindings which fill the recesses, not for¬
getting the haii-powder which smothers the collar of the King s
old blue coat, or the mud with which his tall boots are liberally
splashed. All are reproduced with photographic exactness.

AMERICA.

The New ^ ork papers contain descriptions, many columns
in length, of the devastation caused by the Hoods throughout
the district traversed by the Mississippi and its tributaries.
Nothing like it has occurred, the newspapers say, during this
century, and the damage already done exceeds, it is declared,
that caused by the Chicago and Boston fires ten times over.
Hundreds of square miles of the most fertile and bcst-culti-
vated land in America have been swept by rapid currents.
The cities of New Orleans and Nashville and many smaller
towns were under water. Huudreds of cattle have been
drowned, houses and farms swept away, and immense damage
done. At Boston and elsewhere subscriptions were being
raised for the sufferers. A cable telegram of Monday’s date

INDIA.

There was news of the Indian famine, on Monday, by the
Viceroy’s official telegram and hy despatches from the special
correspondents of the Times, aud the Daily News. The official
despatch consists, in the main, of statistics. It states, however,
that the public health is good—there is no epidemic amoa*
men or beasts—and no more famine deaths have been reported.
The Times’ account is hardly so favourable. The writer says
that prices are rising in tho worst districts, aud the cultivating
classes in North Chumparun are in the greatest distress. Rela¬
tions are turning widowB adrift, and uneasiness—almost
panic—prevails there. Great anxiety is felt about North
Bhaugulporo. ltungpore is worse, and in Maunblioom the
peasantry are consuming seed grain. Want aud consequent
fever have reduced Western Burdwan to wretchedness, aud it
is alleged that suicides have occurred from starvation. It is
added that Sir R. Temple, after his tour, sees no hope of
escaping trouble of magnitude. The Daily News’ correspondent
says that the early rice crop, ripening w July and August,
gives luxuriant promise, adding, fi with that harvest tho
pressure ceases.”

A special telegram from Calcutta, dated Monday evening,
appears in the Standard. It says that the Government has
ceased to pnehase rice, considering that its present stock is
sufficient for all emergencies. In addition to that stock there
are in Bengal accumulations to the extent of 280,009 tons
brought from Rangoon, and 40,000 tons from Saigon. Tho dis¬
tress, it is added, has been completely mastered.

In illustration of the present state of the poorer classes in
the famine districts of Indidj it is stated in a Calcutta telegram
of Tuesday’s date that the people have now but one meal of
rice a day, and in some places only one in two days.

Tho Times * correspondent at Calcutta telegraphed on Wed¬
nesday as follows :— 44 The transport companies’ cattle aro
dying and the carters are deserting. The Government trans¬
port reserve is active. Six hundred camels have crossed the
Ganges. The sales of Government rice are increasing. There
is a marked improvement in North Tirhoot. Cases of severe
distress are comparatively few. Yesterday I saw many
children in Nuggcrbustee South, being slowly starved.”

Recent advices from Bagdad, received in Constantinople,
describe the famine in Asia Minor a* very bad. In the district

in £2214 annually. The orphanage is situated at Twickenham,
and the inmates are at present 121 boys and girls. The com¬
mittee are anxious to remove to a larger building in the same
locality, known as Wellesley House, which is capable of accom¬
modating 200 children; but there is still wanting a sum of about
£5000 out of £17,000 to completo the purchase. Tho income of
the charity last year was £8318, and tho expenditure £75S6.

NATIONAL SPORTS.

Visitors to Newmarket during the present week have, so far,
had no reason to complain of the quality of the sport, for ou
Tuesday and Wednesday there w as sonic capital racing, even
exclusive of tho Two Thousand. Tho Bafcthyauy Post Sweep-
stakes fell to Lord Falmouth, by the aid of Lady Love, a very
nice filly by Blair Athol—Vergiss-mein-Niohfc; Prince Batthyany
very appropriately put in a strong bid for tho stake with Peri¬
patetic, and secured tho following event, the Prince of Wales’s
Stakes, with Delay, who, for once, ran as straight as possible.
For the last two or three seasons the green jacket of tho Hun¬
garian Prince has been so tevribly unlucky that his successes
are very popular. The match between Oxonian and Trombone
w as a very sporting affair, the latter, who was in receipt of 51b.,
being the favourite; but old Oxonian jumped off with the load,
and ail Fordham’s exertions could nover got Trombone on terms
with him.

The weather on the Two Thousand day was thoroughly
enjoyable, being far milder than on tho Tuesday, and but for
the clouds of dust the drive to the heath would have been
very pleasant. It appeared a certainty that Prince Charlie
would beat Blenheim over the T.Y.O., as they met at level
weights; but M. Lefevre, in tho most sporfcsman-liko w r ay,
brought out his horse to have a cut at the mighty chestnut for
the third time. He was well rewarded for his pluck by seeing
a magnificent struggle, at the end of which the Prince only
won by a head. It may l>e that Prince Charlie does not care
to do more than he is obliged, or that Parry does not under¬
stand him as well as French did; but we fancy that his action
is scarcely so brilliant as last season, and that tho constant
work he has done is beginning to tell on him. The May Stakes
furnished a genuine sensation, as Tangible (9 st.) and Tintern
( 7 st. 91b.) ran a dead-heat, and, only a head behind them, tho
Cnra^oa filly ( 6 st. lib.) and Luisette( 6 st. 13lb.) made a socond
dead-heat for third place. Suchan occurrence ia without parallel,
and was a wonderful triumph of handicapping. Immediately
after this race there w*as a rush to the bird-cage to inspect the
field for the Guineas. Ecossais was naturally the great centre of
attraction ; and when it was seen that, though ho wore plasters
cn his fore legs, he looked bright and well in his coat, and
seemed to have done plenty of work, his position in the betting
improved rapidly, and, before the flag fell, 5 to 4 was tho
longest offer against him. In point of condition nothing was
quite equal to Atlantic, who, though a trifle leggy, has grown
into a fine lengthy colt. Spectator also looked thoroughly fib ;
but his stable companion, Boscobcl, was decidedly backward.
A slight want of size was the only fault that could be found
with Trent, who is a very compact, muscular colt, and may do
better at Epsom. We did not see Famsfield and Rever¬
beration, who were saddled at the Ditch stables; and of tho
rest, only Whitehall—who had evidently had a thorough
Yorkshire preparation—attracted much attention.

There was only a slight delay at the post, and as Boon as
the flag fell Atlantic showed in front, and was never hea led
from start to finieh. At tho Bushes nothing but Reverberation
and Ecossais had the least chance 'with him, and the Utter,
whose badly-shaped fore-legs are terribly against him in making
a descent, nearly fell on to his nose in coming down the Bu 3 hc 3
hill. A few strides more and Fordham began to ride him iu
earnest, and Reverberation went on in pursuit of Atlantic.
Lord Falmouth’s horse is a very lazy one, so Archer kept hard at
him all the way, and, having the best of tho struggle throughout,
landed him a clever winner by a neck. Ecossais, who was eased
in the last hundred yards, was beaten four lengths for second
place; Trent was quite double that distance behiud him, and
then came Lacy, Boscobcl, Spectator, and Dukedom, iu tho
order named. Atlantic was beautifully ridden by little Archer,
who carried nearly 3 st. of dead-weiglit, and in future ho will
probably have all Lord Falmouth’s mounts in the great weight-
for-age races. Reverberation stayed bettci .than any Thunder¬
bolt that we cau call to mind ; and, though Ecossais might havo
been nearer, the descent from Tattenham Comer must prove a
fatal bar to his success at Epsom, where tho tricolour seems
likely to be carried by Novatcur.

The Polo Club played the opening games of tho season at
Lillie Bridge on May Day. Great improvements have been
made in the ground since last year, and the game promis -33 to
be more popular thau over. No special iutercsfc attached to tho
play, which was regarded merely a 3 practice. The Hon. T. W.
Fitzwilhaw appeared in a 3 good form as ever, and scored all
three goals for hia side in tho first match.

CROSSING A RIVER IN INDIA.

Notwithstanding the great improvements of late years in the
construction of railways, roads, and bridges in India, travellers
in some districts are often obliged to cross rivers in very
primitive fashion, with much delay and alarm, not uufre-
quently accompanied by danger and loss. The frail bat
buoyant coracle or native boat of wickerwork covered with
ill-prepared hides may answer it3 purpose well enough, pro¬
vided no sunken rock or plunging horse should make a hole iu
it. But the appearance of this vessel is not very assuring to
the timid traveller, unaccustomed to this mode of crossing
rivers at times and places where crocodiles abound. His
belief in “there’s nothing like leather” is rudely shakeu by
the very patent fact of its being the only barrier betwixt hia
person and those hungry jaws or the depths of the eddying
stream. He embarks with trepidation, and lands, when ho
docs it safely, with great thankfulness. The river, except in
the rainy season, flows far below its perpendicular banks, down
which a wide path is cut for cattle and conveyances, and a
narrow ono for foot-passengers at the crossing-places. In the
Engraving wo see bullocks laden with bags of grain coming
dow n to the river. To the left is the baggage-cart, with tents
j oiled up, mattresses, and clothing. To tho right are natives
cooking on the edge of the water, a bullock-man swimming
across with his bullocks, and native servants being coi?
yeyed in a boat with tho usual two-wheeled coach, which
is put bodily into the coracle and more than fills it. The
“sahib,” or English gentleman, with liis “racm-sahib,” or
lady, his baby and boy, servants, and dog, pretty well crowd
another, whilst the horse-keeper swims the horse and nukes
him assist in dragging the boat. Generally horses are much
alarmed at the boat following, and sometimes they do not take
well to the water, but attempt to get into the coracle, and
either sink or upset it. When the rivers are in full flood the
boat goes wheeling down the current, and lands sometimes a
quarter of a mile further down. The native boatmen arc
often more of fatalists than suits the nerves of inexperienced
travellers. A somewhat nervous gentleman trembled as he
saw the palanquin containing his wife and infant put iuto
the boat. He stepped in himself with many misgivings, and
when, to his horror, the thirtocn bearers jumped m°too he
inquired, in dismay, “ Will this carry us over?’ A “How do I
know?” was the answer; “it is what the Government )u 3
provided. Shove off!” With this comforting reply tiny
went wheeling down the swift and muddy stream ; but thev
landed safely.

SKETCHES IN PARLIAMENT.

Amongst the comparatively few things Parliamentary’that are
noticeable in the present Session there is this, that the Prime
Minister has adopted a style of answering questions which is
in direct—perhaps intentional—contrast with the mode of his
predecessor, who was accustomed to deliver an oration on the
provocation of the smallest interpellation. The manner, in this
respect, of Mr. Disraeli is more like that of Lord Palmerston, with
a difference ; for whereas the latter was quick, short, and mock¬
ing, the former is slow, brief, and mocking. At any rate, he
generally creates mirth by his answers, which was especially
the forte of Lord Palmerston.

Predictions which were current that there would be a pon¬
derous debate on the state of the Navy have been duly realised.
Mr. Childers appeared one evening with a box tall Of papers,
and very early in the discussion proceeded to make that excul¬
pation of his administration at the Admiralty which lie pathe¬
tically declared he had never had an opportunity of delivering,
though one has an impression that one lia3 heard, if not in
bulk, piecemeal, several vindications of this sort from him.
This time he had his way for something like two hours, and if
liis mind is not wholly liberated it is not the fault of a patient
House that suffered him to say his say without let or hindrance.
Of course such a portentous oration could not be attacked in
force by the hirst Lord of the Admiralty impromptu,
so Mr. Algernon Egerton, the secretary to the board, was
put up to mancenvre, like a frigate, around the huge floating
battely of Mr. Childers’s speech. The duty was neatly and
handily done by Mr. Egerton, whose well-bred calmness and
adequate eognoscence of what he was talking about were con¬
spicuous. The naval critics were, as ever, active and persistont.
There was Mr. Bcntinck the greater, as is his manner, sending
a hot all lound fire, like that of a turret-ship, on all and sundry
connected with Admiralty administration; and there was
Admiral Elliot, who is a stern, not to say crabbed, commentator
on navai matteis, and who developed the original idea that the
Channel fleet and the flying squadron should have been sent to
the Gold Curst the moment the war broke out, when short work
wonld have been made with the Ashantees. Could it have been
meant that this w’ould have been done by the bombardment of
Coomassie by the united squadrons ? Then, too, Mr. bhaw
Lefevre, glib and dexterous, took his part in the defence of the
ex-Admiralty; and there was much more palaver and con¬
troversy to and fro ; so that time w’as obtained for Mr. Ward
Hunt to mature liis speech, which was to be a summing-up of
the debate at a late hour. Certainly he came onb in quite a
new rhetorical line. Not only was he emphatic and earnest,
but he was almost impassioned ; and he proved thit he lias in
him a vein of smart retort and sharp, caustic humour, for'which
he has never yet obtained credit. His voice, too, is sonorous
and rolling, and in its higher tones rich; while his stately
configuration is in keeping with the manliness of his
elocution. When ho was vigorously laving it on the
late jAdmiralty, his appearance, with his full, flowing heard,
massive head of hair, flashing eyes, trumpet tones, and eager
gesture, somehow he might have suggested recollections of the
typical Neptune of artists, particularly when that ruler of the
ocean was rebuking the errant and rebellious winds which
nearly destroyed the fleet of .-Eneas. The speech was a decided
success as a rhetorical effort, no matter what the substance may
have bi en.

The strong Conservative Government has received a defeat,
and it was administered by the Irish section of the House. A
motion was made by Mr. Syrian for State aid to the Irish sea-
coast fisheries, which Lave fallen into w r oeful decay, notwith¬
standing that crowds of anxious fishermen stand daily on the
shore and millions of fi li are gambolling before their eyes ani\
mcckirg thorn with invitations to come and catch them—-if they
can. 1 r^ctieally the demand resolved itself into this—that
public money should be given to the Irish fishermen, where¬
with to buy b oats and tadde and to hire deputies to catch fish,
then to sell them, and bring the money to bo enjoyed by the
nominal fishers. The question being the touching of public
money, as may bo supposed, Irish members, new and old, were
on the alert, and Hoods of eloquence issued from them, whatever
their political persuasion ; and at last Mr. Butt put the matter
in a plain, simple, and tangible form when he said, in effect,
“ Come, now ; give us £20,000, and you will see if we do not
produce a miraculous draught of fishes.” Although Sir Michael
Hicks-Beach was wonderfully conciliatory, and offered some¬
thing in the way of small loans, this was rejected ns too vague,
and nothing would do but the promise of an instant voce—
money dow n—of £ 20 , 000 ; and so a division took place, and
Mr. Syrian, beaming all over with smiles, while Mr. llart-
Dyke’s (the Ministerial “whip”) countenance was clothed in
gloom, announced a victory of three over the Government,
and of course there was a great hullabaloo.

A debate on the Gold Coast was interesting, and had" its
features. Sir Wilfrid Law r son was facetious and epigrammatic
03 usual, and contrived to insinuate some of his anti-liquor
ideas into his speech, and was emphatic in his statement that
all the civilisation which England had introduced into West
Africa w f as rum and gunpowder. Admiral Sir W. Edmonstono,
who knows tho Gold Coast, hinted slily that, however uncon¬
sciously, missionaries wero tho originators of wars with savages;
while Air. Richard—speaking, of course, in the name of the
Peace Society, and with the dogmatism and the intonation of
the conventicle—was profuse in his denunciations of the horrors,
the slayings, and the burniDgs of war—subjects which he has
by rote. On this occasion Mr. E. Jenkins* made a determinate
bid for the suffrage of the House. His speech was a sot one,
was able, suggestive, and illustrative, while his eloontion was
fair. But aJUl this wa$ marred by a pretentious and self-
confident manner, giving the idea that he believed he was con¬
ferring a favour in speaking at all to the assembly ho was ad-
drefsiug. His is precisely tho style that tho House has never
endured, and, accordingly, the Ministerialists jeered and inter¬
rupted all through, and at last grew so boisterous that tho
speech was truncated. The Opposition did not overtly express
disapprobation, but sympathy was very little if at all ex¬
pressed. In a quiet way, Sir KainaJd Knightley is a humourist,
and it was in a drolly mischievous w*ay that he managed to get
the debate adjourned to July 31, which was, in effect, getting
rid of it altogether.

When M r. Eustace Smith was, one evening, dilating on the
feebleness of the Board of Trade and its inability to deal with
its numerous duties and responsibilities, those who looked at
the Treasury Bench might have thought that he was satirically
personal. Else why did he not say that that feebleness was
somewhat redeemed by the accession to the Board of Sir
Charles Adderley and Mr. Cavendish Bcntinck, who were repre¬
senting it in their respective characters of President and Secre¬
tary. Nothing could be more calm and sedate than tho de¬
meanour of S;r Charles Adderley, but Mr. Cavendish Bentinck
was evidently nervously conscious of the responsibilities which
had been so portentously dwelt upon. He listened to every
word that was uttered with all his might, ho took copious
notes (one would have liked to see the holograph) ; he was
restless, palpably anxious, and priming himself—he had, of
course, loaded himself before—for liis first oliicial speech. Hour

after hour passed, and still he fidgeted, and still he came not.

At length the discussion reached that point of repletion au
w hich no more could bo stuffed in, and so, doubtless, a powerful
exposition of the capacity and zeal of tho present stall of the
Board of Trade has not been recorded for posterity.

It may be just mentioned that Mr. Roebuck speaks occa¬
sionally, and notably he did so in the Gold Coast Debate > an ~
verily, after listening to the slipshod talk which was prevalent,
it was refreshing to hear his neatly-cut, well-balanced
sentences, his simple but forcible phraseology, his clear argu¬
mentation, his pointed illustration, and his original suggestive¬
ness. He is, perhaps, the only remaining representative of a
school of Parliamentary speaking which was once characteristic
of tho House of Commons, and which was an admirable school.

rABLIAM ENTAKY SUMMARY.

HOUSE OF LORDS.

Lord Delawarr stated, yesterday week, that it was under the
consideration of the Government what should be done in the
nmttc-r of the Endowed Schools Act, which is about to expire ;
and some bills were pmssed a stage, during a brief sitting.

Earl Russell moved, on Monday, for copies of papers relating
to the maintenance of the peace of Europe ; but upon receiving
the assurance of Lord Derby that he had looked through the
papers and had had not found any which might be produced
without inconvenience to the public service, the noble Earl
withdrew his motion. The Hertford College (Oxford) Bill wa 3
read the second time ; and two motions of the Bishop of Bath
and Wells asking the disallowance of tw*o schemes of the
Endowed Schools Commissioners framed for schools in his
diocese were agreed to. The Loans to School Boards Bill was
read the second time, and the Bishop of Calcutta (leave of
absence) Bill was passed its final stage.

The Lord Chancellor’s Land Bills were on Tuesday dis¬
cussed and passed through Committee ; the Courts (Colonial)
Jurisdiction Bill and the Game Birds (Ireland) Bill were read
the second time ; and the Hertford College (Oxford) Bill was
passed through Committee.

On Thursday her Majesty, through the ^ Lord Steward,
withheld her assent from tho schemes of the Endowed Schools
Commissioners for the endowed schools at Crewkerne and
Timberscombe and Cutcombe, in Somersetshire, in accordance
with the addresses presented by their Lordships. Lord
Blacliford moved tho second rending of tho Colonial Clergy
Bill, the object of which was to repeal the provisions of the
Act 59 Geo. III., which rendered it impossible for any colonial
clergyman to officiate in England without having first obtained
the ^consent of tho Archbishop or the Bishop of the diocese
■within which he intended to officiate. The Earl of Carnarvon
assented to the necessity of the measure. The bill was read
the second time. The Hertford College (Oxford) and tho
Public Works Loan Commissioners (Loans to School Boards)
Bills were read the third time and passed. The Judicature
(Ireland) Bill was introduced by the Lord Chancellor and read
the first time.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

A motion for a grant of public money for the advancement
of the Irish Sea fisheries was debated yesterday week, and the
Government, by whom the motion was opposed, was defeated
by 95 voteB to 93, the majority being made up of G4 Irish, 24
English, and 7 Scotch members; and the minority of 70
English, 15 Scotch, and 2 Irish. Sir J. Lubbock next sub¬
mitted a resolution declaring the desirability of modifying the
code o^ regulations issued by the Committee of Privy Council
in vsucli manner as to give more encouragement to the teaching
of history, geography, elementary social economy, and other
“ ext: a subjects,” in tho public elementary schools ; but after
some discussion the motion was withdrawn. The subject of a
warning given by the Irish Government to the Flay of Ireland
newspaper was then discussed with much rigour by tho Irish
mi inters until a quarter past twelve, when the subject dropped,
and the report of the Committee of Ways and Means was
agreed to. The East India Annuity Funds Bill was read the
third time and passed.

On Monday the subject of the policy of England in regard
to the Gold Coast was discussed, the debate being adjourned
to July 31; and the House went into Committee of Supply.

There was a long discussion, on Tuesday, upon tho consti¬
tution, powers, and responsibilities of the Board of Trade; a
bill to secure and extend Ulster tenant-right in Ireland was
introduced ; the subject of the alteration of the standard
applicable to children of outdoor paupers by the Education
Department was debated—a motion condemnatory of the course
pursued being rejected by 205 to 202 ; and Sir Edward Watkin
introduced a bill to provide compensation to workpeople of
joint-stock companies and private employers incases of accident
arising from causes beyond the control of the persons employed
during the hours of lawful employment.

The afternoon’s sitting on Wednesday was spent in dis¬
cussing tho Factory Act Amendment Bill, of which Mr.
Mundella moved tho second reading. Mr. Cross, on the
part of the Government, proceeded to expound a scheme
which the Government were prepared to introduce whereby
the hours of labour -would be reduced to fifty-six per week;
that tho hours for half-timers should be thirty-two hours a
week ; and that up to 1875 the age at which children might be
X>eimitted to work should be fixed at nine years and thereafter
at ten. Mr. Mundclla said he should keep his bill on the
paper pending the introduction of the promised Government
measure ; and the debate was accordingly adjourned.

On Thursday the Speaker announced the receipt of the
report of the Judge appointed to try the merits of the petition
against the roturn 6 f Messrs. Brown and Tighe for the county
of Mayo, which report declared the said election to bo null aud
void. A new writ was subsequently ordered to issue for a
new. election. The House was occupied during the greater
portion of the evening with the consideration of motions re¬
lating to naval matters, previously to going into Committee of
Supply upon tho Navy Estimates.

“TILE PARTING.”

A scene that might belong to some gentle love-story of r>U
German chivalry, such as we may read in the pages of Tieck
or Fouque, or Uliland, is delineated by Wilhelm Roller in thi*
picture. The true and faithful knight, a virtuous servant of
public duty, is about to depart for the wars, in the pure spirit
of a devout Crusader. His horse is held by a page outside
where the comrades and followers of his martini journey await
his coming forth. A tender, but resolute and cheerful, word
of due farewell must be Bpoken to his grieving wife before h e
leaves the house. He has endeavoured to console her aul to
set her an example of courage. But the sight of her comfort,
less sorrow, which he must now leave, he fears, to grow still
more painful in his long*cxnected absence, seems almost to hare
brought him down to equal sadness. Perhaps, like the brave
fellow of whom our English young ladies sang in that once
popular ballad, “ The Soldier’s Tear,” this noble Freiherr of the
romantic ages will presently be fain to wipe some drops of heart-
water from his manly cheek and eyes. “ Oh, do not deem him
weak 1 ” as the young ladies used to sing.

(«’o, watch the foremost ranks in battle's fierce career,

Be sure, the band most valiant there Art* wiped away a tear 1

Not adiubt of it; so did the heroes of the Iliad and the .Eucid,
if we tiust the report of Homer and Virgil. The artist,
Wilhelm Roller, is a native of Vienna, and about forty years of
age. He studied at Dusseldorf, under Cornelius, Lossin*
Benderaann, and Rcthel. During some years, till 1859, ho
resided at Antwerp, but is now’ settled at Brusaols, where hia
talent is fairly esteemed.

MUSIC.

The Rosa and Monmouth Railway w’as opened tor the first
time yesterday w eek in its entirety.

Snow is reported to have fallen heavily in Perthshire and
along the Grampian range. In the Strathspey district there
have been severe storms of hail.

A mooting of tho Victoria (Philosophical) Institute took
place on Monday evening at S, Adelphi-terrace, when Mr.
roiaytb, Q.C., M.P., w as elected a vice-president.

.. triennial conference of the Society for the Liberation of
the Church from State Patronage was begun on Tuesday, at the
City Terminus Hotel. The morning sitting was held under the
presidency of Mr. Heniy Hichard, M.P., who gave an opening
address. V anous resolutions m support of the objects of the
society were adopted; and, after a recess, the conference met

ROYAL ITALIAN - OP ERA.

Millie. Albani has added another successful representation to
those which had already secured lier so high a position here.
As Elvira in Saturday’s performance of “I Puritani "she dis¬
played those enhanced powers of which we have already
spoken in noticing her three previous performances this season.
The brilliant yet sympathetic quality of her voice, the excep¬
tional beauty and high range of her uppor notes, her facile
execution of florid bravura passages, and the general grace and
refinement which characterise her delivery even of the moat
declamatory scenes, were again admirably manifested in tho
several situations of the opera. The impression created in the
duet with Giorgio in tho first act was surpassed by that which
followed the execution of Elvira’s polaccn, “Son vergin
vezzosa,” and this was exceeded by the demonstration that
followed tho scena, “ Qui la voce,” in which Mdlle. Albania
best powers and accomplishments were fully displayed^ Here
the euigeT achieved a perfect triumph, having been applauded
to the echo and several times recalled by an aadience that com¬
pletely filled every part of the theatre. Signor Cotogui as
lliccardo, and Signor Bagagiolo a3 Giorgio, contributed largely
to the general effect of the opera, as did Signor Pavani (as
Arturo) in the latter Bceues thereof, hia singing in which was
far more satisfactory than in the earlier portions,
k*: On Thursday w*eek Signor Bolis repeated hia performance as
Manrico in “ H Trovatorc,” with the same success a 3 that
which*attended liis first impersonation of the part on the
previous Saturday, as already noticed.

Yesterday (Friday) week “Faust” was given, with Mdlle.
Smcrcsclii as Margherita, in which this meritorious artist
was fully as successful as daring last season, tho year of
Jjor debut. Signor Bagagiolo's Mefisfcofele wag still more
effective than heretofore, ami the cast v. aa efficiently completed
by Mdlle. Scalcbi as Siebel, Signor Nicolini as Faust, M.
Maurel aa Valentino, Signor Tagliaiico as Wagner,

The first two performances of this week were repetitions—
on Monday “ L’Airicaino,” and on Tuesday “ I Puritaui.” For
Thursday “U Guarany” was announced, for Friday “ I,w
Huguenots,” aud for to-night (Saturday) “Rigoletto,” with
the return of Signor Grnziani.

The reappearance of Madame Adelina Patti is to take plate
on Tuesday next, in “11 Barbiore di Siriglia.”

The second Floral Hall concert of the season will be givan
next Saturday, May 1G. .

HER MAJESTY'S OrERA.

The closing performances of last week, on Thursday in *
Saturday, consisted of repetitions of “Somiramide” sal
“ Faust,” cast as on the occasions recently noticed.

On Monday “ Fidelm ” was repeated, and on Tuesday “ La
Trariata was given, with the first appearance in this country
of Mdlle. Imogene Orelli as Violetta. Although favourably
received and eccr si on ally applauded (moat so after tho aria,
“Ah! fors’e lui”), the lady made but little impression, aul
we must await fiuther opportunity for estimating her poweri
and acquirements. Signor Galassi as Germont, and Sigip>:
Fancelli as Alfredo, sang artistically, and contributed its beat
features to the performance.

“Les Huguenots’’was announced for Thursday and “Norma”
for to-night (Saturday).

An Italian version of Auber’s “LeaDiamans do laCouronne"
is to he produced on Tuesday next, with tho debut of Mdlle.
Singelli as Catarina.

Tlio£forty-second season of the Sacred Harmonic Society
came to a successful close yesterday (Friday) week, when alia*
performance of “Naamau” avas given, directed by the com*
poser and the conductor of the society, Sir Michael Coat*. Tlic
oratorio w r aa to have been given earlier, but was voluntarily
withheld by Sir M. Co3ta so as to allow of the production of
Mr. G. A. Macfanen’s “St. John the Baptist” in March. The
solo vocalists at tho concert of last week now referred to were—
Mesdames Otto-Alvtlebcn and I’atey, Mrs. Suter, Mr. Cum¬
mings, Mr. M, Smith, and Mr. Santley. Sir M. Costa ww
received with great applause by an audience that filled the htlL

That skilful pianist and clever composer Misa Ague*
Zimmcimanu gave her annual evening concert, at the Hanover*
square Rooms, on Thursday w eek, when her own performance*
were the chief features of tho evening. Theso were heard k
Schumann’s solo pieces entitled “ Camaval,” in Beethoven ’ 1
sonata for piano and violoncello in G minor (with Herr Daubert)*
her own sonata for piano and violin (with Madame Norman*
Neiucla), and in Brahms’s quartet with stringed instrument*.
Miss Sterling anil Mr. Santley were tho vocalists.

The annual scries of summer concerts at the Crystal BiUeo
began last Saturday, when the first of nine afternoou P<**
fc nuances took place, with a programme consisting of Gcruii*
mnsic, some of the forthcoming occasions being intended to
be illustrative of the music of France, Italy, Russia, and tho
Scandinavian countries. Saturday’s performances include
Dr. Stainer’s skilful organ-playing in a pedal fugue by Back
one of whose chorales w as sung by the Crystal Palace choir.
Beethoven’s symphony in A was finely rendered by
orchestra; ancl Mendelssohn’s pianoforte concerto in G minor
was played with great effect by .Mdlle. Kreb 3 . Part-song*

by Danner, the programme having been subdivided into five
headings—“ Music for the Church," “ Music for the Concert-
Boom and Theatre,” “Music for Home," “Popular aud
Patriotic National Songs," and “Music for the Ball-Room."
The second concert will take place on May 23; to-day
(Saturday) being appropriated to the great flower show of the
season, and next Saturday to the visit of the Czar.

The third of this season's concerts of the Philharmonic
Society took place on Monday evening, when the performances
began with a fine overture by Sponr (in F), composed in
1821 expressly for the society, and still remaining in manu¬
script. The other orchestral pieces were Beethoven’s “ Eroica ”
s\ m phony, Sir VV. Stemdale Bennett’s overture, “ Paradise
and the Peri," and that by Mendelssolm to “ Rny Bias.” Herr
Straus played the violin concerto of Max Bruch (previously
performed by bim at a Philharmonic concert in 18(58), aud
vccal solos were contributed by Madame Lcmmens-Sherrington.

The third New Philharmonic concert (the second of the
afternoon performances) took place on Saturday, when Sir
Julius Benedicts symphony in G minor was repeated, with the
same success that attended its fust performance at the pre¬
vious concert. M. Duvernoy executed with much brilliancy
Mendelssohn’s first pianoforte concerto and two unaccompanied
solos ; and the remaining instrumental pieces consisted of the
overture to “Buy Bias," by the composer just named, and a
new overture, entitled “ Otto der Schiitz,” by Herr Rudorff,
which was favourably received. Mdlles. Smcroschi and Nita
Gaetano were the vocalists.

Herr Pauer has begun a new series of his interesting
historical performances of pianoforte music at tho Hanover-
square Rooms. The programme of his first matinee, on Mon¬
day, comprised pieces by Scarlatti, Bach, Mozart, Beethoven,
Hummel, Schubert, Mendelssolm, and Heller.

The fourteenth season of Mr. Charles Halle’s pianoforte
recitals was to begin yesterday (Friday) at St. James’s Hall.
The programme comprised a pianoforte trio by Gernsheim, a
notturao (trio) by Schubert, Brahms’s pianoforte quartet in A,
Beethoven’s solo sonata, “Les Adieux,” and detached pieces
by Bach. Madame Norman-Neruda was the violinist, and
lien* Franz Neruda the violoncellist.

Among the concerts of the week have been tbosc of Miss
Purdy, and Herr and Madame Sauerbrey, both the ladies being
favourably known os vocalists, and the gentleman as a pianist
and conductor.

The annual performance of “The Messiah " by the Royal
Society of Musicians was to take place at St. James’s Hall
yesterday (Friday) evening, when the solo vocalists announced
were Mesdamea Otto-Alvsleben and Patey, Misses Blanche
Cole, Severn, and Maudsley, Mr. Guy and Mr. Cummings.

The sixth and last concert oE the second season of the
Vagner Society (postponed from April 10) is to take place on
Wednesday next.

The sudden death of Signor Mongini (which occurred at
Mikn a few days ago) has deprived the lyric stage of one of
the most eminent tenors of modem times. He wa3 endowed
with a voice of superb quality, with a rare command of the
extreme high chest-notes (including the C sharp, as often dis¬
played in the great trio in Rossini’s “Tell”). His style was
unequal; sometimes singing finely, at others he save cause for
regret that such great natural gifts were not coupled with more
assiduous and continuous study'.

THEATKES.

Maty playgoers will hear with satisfaction that the St. James’s
was reopened on Saturday. The new manager is Mr. Francis
Fairlie, of provincial celebrity. lie has begun his season
with spirit, reviving a meritorious play of the bite Mr. T. W.
Robertson, entitled “ Progress; ” an .adaptation from the
French'of M. Victorien Sardou, remarlmble for brilliancy of
dialogue and novelty of plot. Mr. Fairlie himself acts iu the
piece, and, as the representative of Mr. John Banuytliorne,
deservedly wins the applause of the audience. The revived
comedy was followed by an opera bouffe, an adaptation by
Messrs. Herman and Richard Mansell, of Offenbach’s “ Vert-
Vert." This piece is very slight in structure and motive, and
was incompetently acted. Mdllo. Manctti, who made her first
appearance in this country, and sings with grace, and Mdllo.
Savelli, who shows great talent, must be exempted from the
general censure. The scenery by Mr. Julian Hicks is good, and
the dancing of the Orplieon troupe from Vienna and Berlin
vigorous ; but the whole affair must be revised and re-rehearsed,
and that effectually, if “Vert-Vert" is to have the chance of
living on an English stage.

Mr. Toole appeared at tho Globe on Saturday morning, in
the part of Caleb Plummer, aud realised, probably, all that
Dickens intended by the character. The version used is that
of Mr. D ion Boucicault, called “Dot," which perhaps arranges
the incidents in the best form for stage-representation. Mr.
Toole was well assisted by tho performers of tho other cha¬
racters. These farewell performances of Mr. Toole, previous
to his departure for America, are warmly patronised.

Miss Soldene is adding to her lam-els at the Opera Comiquo
in the character of Mdlle. Lange, one of the leading heroines of
the apparently most popular of modem operas, “La Fill© de
Madame Angot,” the Saturday morning performances of which
have proved very attractive. Miss Bessy Emmett, as Clairette,
shares the honours of the occasion. With bright scenery and
dresses and an efficient band, these performances are likely to
prove extremely popular.

The pleasing comedy of “ The Little Treasure " ha3 been
revived at the Royalty, with Miss Augusta Wilton as the
heroine, who performs with much grace, and effectually soourc-s
the sympathies of the audience.

A new version of “ East Lynne ” has been produced at the
Standard. The drama consists of five acts, and goes well with
the audience. Mrs. Charles Viner, as Lady Isabel Carlyle,
acted with well-practised skill, as well as with natural pathos.
She produced some marked effects without apparent effort, and,
we may add, was efficiently supported by the other artistes.

THE BENGAL FAMINE RELIEF FLEET.

Among the efforts made by the British Indian Government to
relieve the distress from the failure of the crops in Bengal,
there are special arrangements for inland water transport of
rice and grain up the rivers and canals of that country. One
of the earnest acts of tho Marquis of Salisbury, Secretary of
State for India, as soon as he took office, was to contract for
the speedy construction of a small fleet of iron barges and
steam-tugs, of very light draught, for this purpose.^ His Lord-
ship, on Feb. 24, gave orders to Messrs. J. and G. Rennie, of
Blackfriars and Greenwich, for the building of six steamers
and five barges, while Messrs. Hamilton, of Liverpool, were
ordered to build four steamers, from the designs of Messrs.
Rennie. The whole fleet, ten steamers and five barges, have
been completed and put on board the powerful steam-sliip
Duke of Buccleuch, which left the Thames on Thursday week,
and will proceed to India by the Suez Canal, arriving at
Calcutta, probably, by June 1, in fcimo for the opening of the
Bengal inland navigation.

In designing these vessels regard has been had to the
shallowness of the waters they will have to navigate, and to
their rapid transport from this country to Calcutta. They are,
therefore, of very light draught, and are built in four sections,
each section having a water-tight bulkhead. They were put
together here with bolts in a temporary manner for trial, and
were afterwards taken apart and shipped in sections for India.
The 8 ten mors are precisely similar in every respect, so that a
description of one suffices for all. Taking, then, the one first
launched and officially inspected, she is 90 ft. in length, 14 ft.
in breadth, 5 ft. 6 in. in depth, and with a draught of 2 ft. 9 in.
when fully equipped with coal, &c., and carrying a load of
21 tons of rice ; carrying 27 tons of rice, her draught will be
increased to 3 ft. She is, of course, iron built, and is divided
into four independent compartments, as already observed.
The forward compartment contains cabin accommodation for
the crew, and also affords considerable hold space. The second
section is devoted entirely to hold space, in the third are the
engines aud boiler, while the fourth is wholly for stowage.
The holds are all furnished with hatchways aud. tarpaulius,
the latter being specially suited for the Indian climate. The
engine-room is open, but can be covered iu when required, a
light iron framework being provided to carry the covering.
The steamer is propelled by twin screws, each screw being 3 ft.
in diameter and (5 ft. pitch. Each screw is driven direct by
its own independent horizontal engine, having a 12-in.
cylinder with 10-in. stroke, the pair indicating l(K)-horeo power.
Steam is supplied from a short horizontal tubular boiler, and
the working pressure is 601b. per square inch.

In dimensions and build the barges correspond with tho
steamers, but, of course, are without engines, as they are to
he towed by the steamers. They are to carry 50 tons of grain
at 2 ft. 9 in. draught, and 60 tons at 3 ft. draught. All the
vessels arc so arranged that they can be put together and got
ready for work witlnn a few days after their arrival in India.

The first of the steamers launched by Messrs. Ronnie had
her contractors’ trial on the 4th ult. Upon that trip, which
was down the river, with her engines running at 250 revolutions
per minute, she developed a speed of nine miles per horn*, indi¬
cating 100-horse power, and in every way gave perfect satisfac¬
tion. On the 11th ult. the Secretary of State and Council for
India made an official inspection of this steamor, in several
short runs between Westminster and London Bridges. There
w r ere present on board the Marquis of Salisbury, Sir It. Mont¬
gomery, Sir W. Baker, Sir Thomas Piers, Sir A. Cotton, the
Lion. G. C. Talbot, General Straehey, and Mr. Rithcrdon,
Surveyor of Sliipping to the Secretary of State for India, with
Messrs. J. and G. Rennie, the designers and builders. The
vessel had on board 12 tons of ballast, with which her mean
draught was 2 ft. 6 iu. During her runs a boiler pressure of
60 lb. per square inch was steadily maintained, the revolutions
of her engines averaging 220 per minute. Her speed was very
good, and she proved herself exceedingly handy, readily answer¬
ing both her rudder and her screws. The short and intermittent
runs prevented her power being indicated ; but both power and
speed wrere points satisfactorily demonstrated at the con¬
tractors’ trial. The build and arrangement of the vessel and
the results of her working met with the expressed approval of
those w ho inspected her upon this occasion.

It is not to be supposed that the work of the little famine
fleet will be concluded when its mission of mercy is ended.
There are many purposes to which these vessels are applicable,
and to which they will be put as soou as their present object
has been effected. They will probably then enter upon a wide
field of usefulness, and will solve important questions of
internal transport now under consideration. In fact, the
opinion was expressed that the present vessels would possibly
form the pioneers in India of a very largo number of their class.
However that may be, there can be but one wish, that their
first mission may be speedily and satisfactorily accomplished.

THE EASTERN MONARCH.

This fine ship, the first of tho fleet belonging to the Royal
Exchange Shipping Company (Limited), has beon lying in tho
South-West India Docks taking in her cargo for Canterbury,
New Zealand, with 520 emigrant passengers. She is the largest
iron sailing-ship over built at Sunderland. Her builders were
Messrs. Mouncey and Foster, of that port. The dimensions of
the ship are—Length over all, 270ft. ; breadth, 40ft. Gin. ;
depth, 23ft. Gin.; carrying capacity, 3200tons. She was built
under special survey, and is registered in the highest class at
IJoyds*. Her shape being one of the finest model, she will have
gTeat sailing speed. She is furnished with all the beat appliances
For working the ship—steam-engines, steam-winch, and con¬
denser. There is saloon accommodation for twenty-five first-
class passengers, with every comfort and luxury. The fittings
and furniture are of oak, walnut, rosewood, and bird's-eye
maple, with gilding. The Eastern Monarch, under the command
of Captain Donaldson, is expected to make the passage to Pork
Lyttelton, Canterbury, in seventy days. At the Bame time, the
New Zealand Shipping Company, by whom she is dispatched,
are sending out vessels to Otago, Wellington, Auckland, Napier,
and Southland, the other chief provinces of New Zealand.

Mr. John Lucas, the well-known portrait-painter, died, on
Thursday’ week, in his sixty-seventh year ; and Mr. Frederick
Pellatt, to whom the glass manufacture of this country is
much indebted for the rapid progress which it has lately made,
died on the 30th ult., aged sixty-seven.

The labour market is still in a most disturbed state. While
the strikes of miners have at some places come to a close, the
men going in at a reduction of 10 per cent in their rate of
wages, a gigantic strike has begun in Durham, 25,000 colliers
having struck work rather than submit to a reduction of 10 per
ct r. o on their earnings. But on Thursday', delegates representing
111 * colhencs being present, at Durham, it was carried by a
large majority that the masters’ terms should be accepted.

I litre dees not appear any sign of * settlement of the dispute
between the farmers and the labourers in the eastern couuties.

A sendee of plate, valued at £10,000, has been manufac¬
tured for the King of Siam by Messrs. Elkington aud Co. The
design is after a style peculiar to Siam, and may bo indicated
by a brief description of the centrepiece. This represents tho
three-headed sacred elephant, bearing basins for floral decora¬
tions, tlic Royal aims being at the base, and a couple of Siamese
standard-bearers standing on the plateau.

Lord F. Cavendish presided, on Thursday’ week, at a meeting
to prepare the constitution and elect the board of governors
for the York College of Science, to be inaugurated at Leeds in
the early autumn. It was agreed that the objects of the college
should be the foliowring :—The supply of instructions in those
sciences which are applicable to the manufacturing, engineering,
mining, and agricultural classes of Yorkshire ; also in such
arts and languages a3 are cognate to the foregoing purposes.

THE DERELICT FRENCH STEAMER.

The French Transatlantic Steam-Ship Company has been unfor¬
tunate of late with its fine fleet of ships. The disaster of the
Ville du Havre, on Nov. 23, with the loss of 226 lives, will long
be a topic of mournful remembrance. The Europe, belonging
to the same line, foundered at sea on the 3rd ult., but all her
passengers and crew were saved. Eleven days after this mis¬
adventure a third ono of the French company’s ships, tho
Amerique, was abandoned by her crew, within a hundred miles
of Brest, in apparent danger of sinking. She had encountered
a violent storm that day, after a good run from New York,
w'hich she left on the 4th. Her passengers numbered S3, and
her crew 152. Three vessels—an English, a Norwegian, and
an Italian—were near enough for her signals of distress. They
took off all the persons w T ho were on board, except tho second
officer, M. Garay, who alone w f as drowned. The removal of the
crew and passengers w’as effected in good ordor, in spite of a
tremendously high Bea. The Italian and Norwegian vessels,
with 21S persons saved from the Am<5rique, soon arrived at
Brest. The English vessel brought eighteen others to
Plymouth. A steamer w’aa sent out to look for the
derelict, W’hich was found still afloat aud adrift, aud
was towed to the above-named port. Tho Devonport dock¬
yard authorities, by order of Admiral Sir William King Hall,
gave their assistance. Tho Admiralty steam-tugs, Carrou and
Scotia, were sent alongside the AnuJrique, lying in the harbour.
Hand-pumps and a steam fire-engine were put on board, aud
were kept at work on Sunday week during many hours; but the
quantity of w’atcr in the vessel did not seem to be lessened. It
w’as therefore directed that she should be removed into shal¬
lower water, and there grounded. For this purpose she w as next
day taken in tow by the harbour steamor, Sir Francis Drake,
and the two steam-tugs, which led her into the creek of Cat-
w'ater. There, at low tide, she grounded in the mud, but
floated again at high tide. It was proposed to take out her
cargo, but the agent of the French company, who had come to
Plymouth,did not think this needful. The water having beon
pumped out, an examination w'aa made by Mr. Leslie, ship¬
builder, of Newcastle, with Messrs. Converse and Colombo,
marine engineers, of Paris. They found no leak w’hatever in
the hull. The w ater had got into tho vessel by several valves
accidentally or carelessly left open, one of w’hich had been
tied open wdth a bit of rope. The cargo was not much
damaged.

The officers and crew’ w’ere then summoned from France by
telegraph. They reassembled at Plymouth, where the Ameriquo
had undergone some refitting, and had had her boilers cleaned.
On Saturday last, after being inspected by Lloyds’ surveyors
and found seaworthy, she left Plymouth for Havre, to prepare
for another Atlantic trip.

WILHELM YON KAULBACH.

• Not wit list and mg the ungenerous sneer of Ingres tha 4 ; ICautbach
was but an indigestion of Michael Angelo, we are disposed to
regard him as the greatest monumental painter of modern times.
His art has living as W'ell as ideal interest; his conceptions
rango from the homeliest, broadest humour t j the loftiest and
most epical abstractions.

The late Director of the Munich Academy (whoso death wo
have already recorded) w'as born in 1805, at Arolsen, in
Waldeck. His father, who was a goldsmith by trade, and also
an engraver ami x>ainter, early destined Ills son to be a painter ;
but the young Kaulbach did not, strango to say, at first mani¬
fest a liking for art. His childhood, owing to his father’s ombar-
lassments, is said to have been unhappy, and to have laid the
foundation for his satirical humour and a degree of misanthropy.
He, however, learnt drawing under his father, aud a book o£
engravings illustrating the dramas of Schiller, which fell into
his hands, ia stated to have decided his vocation. In 1822 ho
was sent to the Academy of Diisseldorf, where he became x
pupil of Cornelius. Being engaged to paint in the chapel of
the hospital for the insane in Diisseldorf, he made studies from
the inmates of tho hospital, from which he afteiwards (in
1S28-9) produced his famous “ Irrenhaus,” or madhouse. Till
he indulged in the audacious realism of this work Kaulbach
w as a docile follower of his austere idealist master, Cornelius,
at whose request he was invited to assist in executing a great
series of frescoes at Munich. Accordingly he went to Munich
iu 1S25, where he painted six symbolic figures in the open,
arcade on the west side of the Hofgarten ; also some of the
earliest works in the revived art of fresco, “Apollo with
the Muses” (in encaustic) on the ceiling of the Odtton;
several designs on the walls of the Glyptothek ; aud, sub¬
sequently, a series of frescoes in the new palace of the
ait-loving King Ludwig, drawn from the story ot “ Cupi l and
Psyche," together with illustrations (in the Queen’s apartments)
of Klopstock, G oethe, and Wieland, in w hich last-named works
his style became more independent. At this early period he also
diligently studied our Hogarth, and caught some of his spirit,
as evinced in illustrations to Schiller’s “Criminal from Lost
Honour,” Goethe’s “ Faust," and other works. Still, however,
his attention was mainly directed to poetic subjects. In 1837,
w hen be bad released himself from pupilage, appeared tho famous
“Hunnenschlacht," or Battle of the Huns, a subject suggested
by Von Klenze, the architect, from an old ballad, in which the
spirits of the Hunnish heroes, whose bodies lie slain uuder tho
w’alls of Rome, are represented as continuing the warfare in the
air. This work is certainly one of tho greatest achieve meats
of modern art. In the following winter w’erc produced the
remarkable designs for the engraver, illustrative of Goethe's
“Reinekc Fuchs,” or Reynard the Fox; the splendid
group of “Bedouins," and tho first sketch for “The
Fall of Jerusalem,” afterwards painted in oil on a colos¬
sal scale for the King of Bavaria, and placed in the
Pinacothek of Munich. The artist gives full play to his
imagination in this famous composition, the historical event
being combined with many symbolical adjuncts. The five
prophets who foretold the fall of the Temple appear above as
Titus plants the Roman eagle on the high altar, wiiile the future
triumph of Christianity is indicated by angels conducting tho
Christians from the doomed city.

The artist’s reputation throughout Germany now’ led to his
being invited to Berlin to decorate the entrance-hall of the new
museum with the great works in stereochrome, which consti¬
tute his capo d*opera. Kaulbach began this gigantic epic of the
woild’s history in 1847. The first subject completed was the
vast painting of “ The Tower of Babel," the (full-size) cartoon
for which was exhibited at the Leeds Exhibition of Art
Treasures. Two other of the principal compositions arc repro¬
ductions by himself and his pupils of “ The Battle of tho
HunB " and “ The Destruction of Jerusalem.” Tho remaining
principal compartments treat of “The Prirao of Greece,” “Thu
CiusadcB,” and “ The Reformation.” These compositions are
connected and their significance extended by colossal figures,
historical and mythological, by monochrome paintings of re¬
markable events, by painted ornamental, architectural, and
arabesque divisions, and by an arabesque frieze surmounting
the whole, in which the history depicted below ia, as it wort,

THE LATE WTLIIELM YON KATJLBACH.

recapitulated in a most fanciful, graceful manner, through the
medium of amorini. The summer months of several years
were devoted to this great task, but during the winter months
(when mural painting had to be discontinued) he was not idle.
In the winters of those years he returned to Munich and exe¬
cuted a scries of wall paintings in the Pinacothek, representing
the history of art since the Renaissance. Nor did these
Titanic labours prevent Kaulbach executing a multitude of
portraits, designs, and illustrations to divers works, among
which we may name a folio edition of the Gospels and the
plays of Shakspeare. To the Paris Universal Exhibition of

1867 he sent a remarkable picture, 99 The Epoch of the Re¬
formation,” for which he was awarded a mthlaille d’honneur.
Kaulbach was decorated with many orders, was a member of
several academies, a corresponding member of the French
Institute, and an officer of the Legion of Honour.

The greater number of his works have been engraved, some
on a very large scale. We may specially cite the engraving of
“The Destruction of Jerusalem,” by Wagon and Merz, which
occupied eight years. Many fine and well-known sets of
photographs from Kaulbaeh’s works have likewise been
published.

For depth of thought, fertility of invention, alternate
grandeur and humour—genial or satirical—and beauty of
execution, Kaulbach is unquestionably the first of German
mural painters. He solved the difficult problem of uniting
ideality with naturalism ; he is vigorous, yet correct; his
design is pure and beyond reproach, except, perhaps, for its
tendency to grandiose exaggeration ; and his colouring is far
superior to that of the average of German wall-painters. We
need hardly add that qualities so diverse are very rarely united.

The portrait of Kaulbach is from a photograph supplied by
Mr. F. bruckmann, Henrietta-street, Covent-garden.

Octaves, and Two Footboarda

The ever-increasing musical culture in all classes of society has
created a demand for free reed InMruraeuta of a superior quality
to thoee hitherto manufactured. . , ... . .

The instmmenu now offered to the public will be fonnd divested
of all that has hitherto been considered objectionable as regards
tone. This end has been obtained by using a larger and thicker
tongue, and a new system of voicing, which render tho quality

rich and organ-like. _

Another advantage in the new system i* the increased strength
of the reeds, and diminished liability to go out of tune by forcing

^Tho* new system is applied to all the largo Instruments with still
greater effect. and without extra coat.

engaged and their operations greatly extended, Cramer
and Co. now call special attention to their Harmoniums,
which, among many other advantages, offer a more
effective, as well as a greater variety of, tone, and a
larger number of speaking stops, at a price much below
that of all other eminent makers. Specifications and
estimates ot special instruments, with any required
combination of stops, famished on application. The
Three-Yoars’ System originated by Cramers, and since
adopted by other firms, is applied to all clasae* of instru¬

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS

MAY 9, 1874

THE LATE MR. OWEN JONES.

The death of this eminent professor of decorative art, which
took place a fortnight ago, has been noticed in our Journal.
Mr. Owen Jones, who was bora in Wales in 1809, early showed
a talent for art, and became a pupil of Mr. Lewis v ulhamy,
the architectural designer and decorator. After studying
under him, Mr. Jones made a tour of four years in Egypt and
the Levant. In 1834 he was in Spain, where he made a
thorough examination and study of the Alhambra. He then
began, with M. Goury. a French artist and antiquary, a work
of great value upon this subject. This work, entitled “ Plans,
Elevations, Sections, and Details of the Alhambra,” with an
historical notice bv M. Pascual de Gayangos, appeared in parts.
The publication, began in 1836, was completed in 1845. The
-work was carried on, after the death of M. Goury, by Mr.
Owen Jones, who devoted himself to the task not only of draw-
ing the details, but of printing in colours the plates when they
were prepared. In 1842 appeared “Designs for Mosaic and
Tesselated Pavements.” In 1846 “ The Polychromatic Orna¬
ment of Italy ” was issued, comprising examples of frescoes and
decorative works of the sixteenth century. Mr. Jones had pre¬
pared a plan for the decoration of the pavements of the Houses
of Parliament which attracted great attention. His knowledge
and activity were shown in many ways. He was appointed a
fupcrintendent of the works for the Great Exhibition, 1851,
and took part in the decoration and arrangement of the build¬
ing. The principles of decorative design associated with
his name were comprehensively declared in an essay, en¬
titled “An Attempt to Define the Principles which Regu¬
late the Employment of Colour in Decorative Arts,
1852. He brought the principles thus described before the
public in lectures delivered at various places, and became the
chief authority in works of the kind. In 1852 he was appointed
director for the decoration of the Crystal Palace, aud, with Sir
D. Wyatt, visited most of the fine examples of ancient decora¬
tion on the Continent. In the course of these journeys the
greater part of the casts and other reproductions in the Crystal
Palace were collected. He designed the decorations for the
Egyptian, Greek, Roman, and Alhambra Courts in the palace,
and superintended the decoration of the whole building. These
works caused much controversy, and the artist published an
“ Apology ” for what he had produced. These tasks occupied
about three years. In conjunction with Messrs. G. Scharf and
J. Bonomi, he produced handbooks to the Egyptian, Greek,
and Roman Courts at Sydenham. The^ Alhambra Court, on
which he wrote the handbook, is, as might bo expected, his

_ .1 1 /• o fLrt tTfAv*lro oLaito nomof‘1 in

still remains a text-book of examples. In 1864 came “1001
Initial Letters,” and, in the same year, “702 Monograms.”
Mr. Jones’s last important publication was “Examples of
Chinese Ornament,” 1867.

The Portrait of Mr. Owen Jones is from a photograph by
Messrs. Watkins and Haigh, of Regent-street, but one which
was taken some years ago. His appearance was latterly
changed by advancing life.

BOMBARDMENT OF MASNAAH.

Two vessels of the Royal Navy, H.M.S. Rifleman and H.M.S.
Philomel, with the Hugh Rose, a vessel of the Bombay Marine
service, w r ere engaged, on March 27, in reducing the fort, of
Masuaah, on the Batinah coast of the Gulf of.Oman, fifty miles
from Muscat, a province of South-East Arabia. The fort and
district of Masnaah belong to Syud Tourkie, the Sultan of
Muscat, but had lately been seized by a rebel chief named
Ibrahim bin Kais, a brother of the late Sultan. His followers
plundered the goods of some British subjects at Masnaah, and
killed one Banyan, or trader from Bombay. Lieutenant-Colonel
Ross, the British Political Resident on the shores of the Persian
Gulf, demanded satisfaction, and required Ibrahim bin Kais
to quit Masnaah. This he refused to do. The Resident
then asked Commander R. M. Gillson, the senior officer of our
naval squadron, to enforce the demand. The Hugh Rose was
placed at his disposal to aid the two gun-vessels of the squadron,
and was manned by seamen under Sub-Lieutenant H. G. Grey,
to work her 10-inch gun. The three vessels arrived off
Masnaah, w T ith Lieutenant-Colonel Ross and Major S. P. Miles
on board. They anchored in front of the fort, about 600 yards
distant. The fort, constructed by the Portuguese at the
beginning of the seventeenth century, was a large square
building, with four massive towers, mounting several heavy
guns. Ibrahim bin Kais had four or five hundred men in the
fort, and did not believe that the ships w r ould be able to destroy
it. Some days were spent in negotiations, messages and letters
passing to and fro. At length, on the 27th the ships opened
fire on the fort with double shell, making excellent practice,
from a quarter past one iu the afternoon to half-past three.
The garrison surrendered, having already run short of pro¬
visions, so that they could not have maintained a defence. One
shell from the Philomel struck the flagstaff tower and brought
dow n a large portion. No damage was done to the village.
This example at Masnaah will have a beneficial effect on all
the disorderly tribes of the coast. We have to thank two
officers—Navigating Lieutenant G. L. Ralph, of the Philomel,
and Sub-Lieu tenant H. G. Grey, of the Rifleman—for sketches
of the scene and the action.

The Lord Lieutenant of Ireland received deputations, yes¬
terday week, from the Irish Rifie Association and the Royal
Horticultural Society. His Grace promised to present a cup
to the former, and to become the patron of the latter.

A May-Day festival took place, yesterday week, in the
Mechanics’ Large Hall, Nottingham, decorated in the old
English May-Day fashion, and a concert was given bv 500
children, who in the course of the evening crowned a little girl
Queen of the May.

A banquet was given, on Thursday week, by the inhabitants
of Portsmouth and Gosport to the soldiers, sailors, aud marines
from the Gold Coast ou the Governor’s Green, where a spacious
tent and marquee had been erected, which were tastefully
decorated. The Mayor presided.

The tenant-farmers occupying land belonging to Mr. Christie
M.P. for Lewes, have received the following notice from his
steward:—“I am directed by Mr. Christie, your landlord, to
inform you that the game and rabbits on your land all belong
to you, and that no one has a right to shoot over it without
your permission.”

The ancient custom of singing a Latin hymn Gn the top of
Magdalen College tower, Oxford, on May morning was duly
honoured, on the 1 st inst., at five o’clock, by the choir, under
the direction of Mr. Parratt, the organist. Upwards of 120
persons were admitted to be present at* the ceremony, among
them being Prince Leopold ; and in the street below there was
an immense concourse of spectators. After the hymn had been
sung a merry peal was rung on the bells.

THE ROYAL ACADEMY EXHIBITION.

SECOND NOTICE.

Plait aux dames ! In justice as well as courtesy we should
hardly delay longer in inviting attention to Miss E. Thompson s
“ Calling the Roll after an Engagement, Crimea” (142). As
the virtual dcffiut of a young lady, this is one of the most
remarkable pictures within our recollection. W e say debut
because, although we have in our review’s of some other recent :
exhibitions lauded for their great spirit works by this artist
of a sketchy character, more or less, this is her first finished
oil picture of importance, so far as we remember. In every
way it is a surprise. The subject is about the very last which
we should expect from a female pencil; yet by force of imagina¬
tive sympathy the terrible havoc of war is realised with a
vr&isemblance that could only be expected from an eye-witness ;
anil, so far from betraying any signs of technical immaturity or
feminine weakness, it borders on hardness in its completeness,
and is almost too painful in its reality, though quite free from
sensational horrors. The scene is laid in the snow—tinctured
with blood in the foreground. A sergeant passes down the
ranks of a company of grenadiers thinned by a recent battle,
followed by a mounted officer, whose mingled expression of
exhaustion, compassion, and fortitude is very finely conceived.
The men are eager to respond as their numbers are called,
though several are severely wounded. But one poor fellow has
fallen dead even at the muster ; a comrade feels in vain for the
beating of his heart; another wounded man sickens at the
sight; one near him stares at vacancy, frenzied by a wound in
the head ; another binds up his bleeding hand : the hardy
veteran and the raw recruit, the sickly and the strong, the
insensible and the impressionable, are there ; but all are still
stanch, and each is an admirable study of character and
expression. In the distance the enemy is seen in disordered
retreat.

M. Alma Tadcma sends a large and important example of
his ingenuity in rehabilitating the classic past, representing the
interior of a Roman collectors “ Picture Gallery ’ (157). Some
of the collector’s friends are inspecting a panel picture on
an easel—one of the encaustic paintings, let us suppose, of
Pausias or Nicias, so much prized by rich Roman connoisseurs.
A fervid-looking youth, seated in an ebony choir with ivory
inlays, scrutinises the work closely ; an older man examines it
more deliberately, and a handsome young lady^ forgets to toy
with her fan as she gazes at it with less critical admiration.
The proprietor stands behind, gallantly offering some remark to
the lady ; two other friends inspect the paintings on the walls.
The idea of the picture, apart from the guise in which it is pre¬
sented, is trite enough. The technical merits, and they are
great and original, are the artistic tone and harmony of warm,
broken tertiary hues, the dexterous aud exact imitation of
textures, and the skilful lighting, which, however, secures
hardly sufficient rotundity to the figures to relieve them with
due relative value from the multifarious details of background
and accessories. With all respect for M. Tadema’s archieo-
logical learning, we doubt whether the tessera* of the pavement
are not of too common a kind for the situation, and whether there
is authority for the satin of the lady’s footstool. The collector in
the picture is a portrait of M. Gambart; and this, with a com¬
panion work of a sculptor’s studio, containing portraits of the
artist and his family (which has been sent to the Paris Salon),
are said to have been painted for M. Gambart’s villa at Nice,
t»s a memento of long subsisting business relations. M.
iadema’s not less familiar acquaintance with Egyptian anti-
<£iities, and also his tendency to eccentricity, are shown in a
small picture of “Joseph, Overseer of Pharaoh’s Granaries”
(300). Joseph stretches his arm out, holding his staff of office
in a very peculiar attitude as he sits on a curious rush-woven
chair or throne, that seems barely worthy of the high station
to which he was elevated. A scribe stoops at his side reading
a papyrus-list of the stores, with samples of various kinds of
grain spread on a cloth before him. This design is over¬
crowded with Egyptian devices, patterns, and decorations in
violation of pictorial requirements.

Another of the moat remarkable pictures of the year is
“Applicants for Admission to a Casual Ward” (504), by Mr.
Fildes. A greater contrast to that gay boating scene which
first brought this artist into notice it would be difficult to imagine.
Huddled for the most part against the wall by the workhouse
door, dimly seen through dismal yellow fog and bitter driving
sleet and slush of snow, are a series of types of the most abject
forms of London misery, whether arising from misfortune,
crime, sickness, drunkenness, or ignorance. There are the
himgry, cold, and seedy yet half-respectable adventurer listen¬
ing to the directions of a good-natured policeman ; the bloated
sot propping himself up in brutalisea stolidity ; the young
widow, or female outcast, hastening for shelter with her babe
and a little weeping toddler at her side ; the out-of-work artisan,
with a large family hanging about him and his broken-hearted
wife ; the ruffian garotter or ticket-of-leave burglar cowering
in the shadow ; the starveling cad, with his staring eyes and
hydrocephalic head ; the professional beggar, with his crutch
and red coat;—“Dumb, wet, silent horrors,” as Dickens
styled them ; “Sphinxes set up against that dead wall, and
none likely to be at the pains of solving them.” Some ex¬
aggeration there may be in this representation as a whole, but
it is essentially true in its elements. There may be something
theatrical and melodramatic in the mise en sc&ne, the execution
may betray an approach to flippancy which we would rather not
see in the work of so young a painter, yet the originality,
vigour, and fidelity of the conception, the suggestiveness of the
manipulation, aud the 4 ’keeping” preserved in the peculiar
effect are beyond question or cavil. All honour to the artist
also for his courage in dealing, undeterred by its repulsiveness,
with a subject in the sad moral of which we are all more or
less deeply implicated. Since the days of Hogarth, the scope
of art as a moral teacher has been very imperfectly understood
and practised among us.

“ l he Adoration of the Magi ” might seem at first mention
to he one of the tritest of themes, and one of those most fre¬
quently conventionalised. Something more, however, than the
medieval and renaissance painters give us should be expected
from the application of modern research, knowledge, and intel¬
ligence. Ihese Mr. Herbert has brought to bear in No. 308,
together with an apparent earnestness of conception resembling
the most ascetic exaltation of the early painters. The result
is that in his version the event has a new aspect. It is a moon¬
light scene ; so that the magi may be supposed to have never
for a moment lost the guidance of the star in the East. The
magi themsolvea are oostumed not arbitrarily, but in ancient
Persian garments ; their offerings assume more special symbolic
forms and meanings, as set forth in the catalogue ; the adora-
t ,Q n and presentation take place at the mouth of the cave,
beneath the present Church of the Nativity, and the outlook

L h ^ Pre 8 Cn ^ theaC ^l lt 0 ? 0 g r a ^' of the country with the
isolated mount on which stood Herod's palaco-fortress the
Herodmm and the range of Moabite mountains. There are
however, strange disproportions in the figures, aud the colours
are surely too positive for moonlight, even in the East We
confess we greatly prefer the small replioa of “Th. W
Good Seed » (431), with its expressive Id briUifnt tand

soape, with sunny effect so fulli of fair harvest promise; and
the water-colour drawing of Christ and the Woman of
Samaria” (798), with its equally brilliant and beautiful

landscai^ _on, s primary a im in art, unlike that of moat
painters of our school, seems to be a deceptive one. Be
shrinks fastidiously from all the rougher, ruder actualities of
i life and nature. He lives in a region of fancy, peopled only
with graceful, classic, unsubstantial forms, tinted with floral
hues where every asperity of surface is smoothed away, ami
even’a crumpled rose-leaf could not be endured ; but, though a
Sybarite realm, beyond affording pleasure to the eye there is
no approach to sensuous voluptuousness. Witness this nearly
nude figure of “An Antique Juggl ng-Girl” (348), standing
tossing her gilded balls before a drapery suspended medial
fashion, which drapery is, however, too ivory-like in its smooth-
ness and hardness in relation to the golden-hued flesh.
The figure, though beautiful in its flowing contours, is insuf¬
ficiently modelled to ensure due relief, the type of form is
not quite feminine ; and the draughtsmanship, particularly of
the arms and legs, is not beyond reproach—the former especially
seem to us too bulky for the thorax. Two other pictures are
derived from the artist’s recent visit to the East. The scene
of one is the interior court of a houBe in “ Old Damascus: the
Jews’ Quarter” (303), where a fair lady, as she shifts her
fiower-pots, is directing a servant engaged knocking fruit from
a lemon-tree, which are caught by a little girl in her rose-
coloured dress lifted to receive them. The costumes, tioweis,
lemon-tree, and rose-tinted marbles and blue tile inlays of the
elegant Moorish architecture, form delicious though too
evanescent harmony of colour. In another picture full of
twilight languor, appropriately called 44 Moorish Garden: a
Dream of Granada” (131), a little maiden carries a copper
vessel, followed by a green and a white peacock; behind are
arched creepers, groves of cypress and orange, a marble-basined
water-course, and a glimpse of a domed palace—it may he the
Alhambra. A far truer, manlier ideality than these pretty
artificialities is, however, attained in No. 981, “ Clytemnestra
from the Battlements of Argos watches for the Beacon Fires
which are to announce the Return of Agamemnon.” The large-
moulded figure standing in the moonlight Is grandly monu¬
mental in its resemblance to antique sculpture, and the
murderous resolve of the adultress is finely indicated by her
knit brow and fiercely-locked hands.

Mr. G. D. Leslie has two more young ladies of the last
century ; this time engaged at a sunny bay window (the
diffused light from which in the apartment is admirably
rendered) overlooking a trim garden, making “Pot-pourri 1 ’
(129) for the china jars of the family from heaps of rose petals,
lavender, orris root, and so forth. Mr. I/eslie renders the sweet
naivete and innocence of pure maidenhood with rare delicacy.
He alone enjoys the entree to an eighteenth-century arcadia to
which none of his rivals or followers has found the key. He
reminds us of 44 Pamela’’-Richardson, only that the painter’B
creations are far less elaborate in details than those of the
novelist. A critic of mere technicalities might, nevertheless,
complain of the artist’s pictures generally, that the contours
are not faultless, the modelling merely hinted at, the colouring
rather opaque and faded. Mr. Leslie may be advised against
relaxing his efforts, as likewise against remaining too long m the
same groove. His 44 Nut Brown Maid” (197), with her yoke
and her pails, beside the shady moss-grown spring, where the
glint of light above cannot penetrate, will hardly take a place
in memory beside the lovely 44 Lavinia.”

Another Associate, Mr. Yeames, divides his energies among
several pictures of moderate size. One shows the interior of
the old hall of Cothele, with the trophies of ancient arms,
armour, and antlers on the walls. Visitors are inspecting the
place, one of them, a stalwart young gentleman, steals an
admiring glance at a fair young lady, who, followed by a noble
bloodhound, is bearing flowers, newly arranged by children, at
the window, “For Hall and Bower” (412). Two pictures
represent the interior of the church of Tong, in Staffordshire,
with a christening party in one (555), and young ladies pre¬
paring “Pulpit Decorations” (510) for a harvest-home service
in the other. But Mr. Yeames’s best picture is “The Little
Suppliants” (2S0), the scene of which is laid within the
Bargello, Florence. Three children kneel at the foot of the
great staircase to crave pardon for their father of the Podestk,
who, with his suite, is descending. The mother directs them
from the covert of a side door, and a group of courtiers stand
aside to witness the result of tho petition. The artist has care¬
fully painted the curious old Palazzo of the chief criminal Judge
of the Florentine Republic.

Mr. Armitage sends one of the few pictures from sacred
story, 44 St. John taking the Virgin to his own home after tho
Crucifixion” (218). The beloved disciple, with eyes reddened
by weeping, is supporting over his threshold the drooping form
of the mother of our I^ord, henceforth to be his mother.
Thunder-clouds swell in the sky, the very air is thick aud red-
hot, os though the Bun were setting in anger on the rabble as
they return along the roadway with the blood-stained instru¬
ments of the crucifixion. The artist’s deep and reverent feeling
is obvious ; but the effect is not favourable to harmonious
colouring, and the subject may suggest hazardous comparisons
with those intensely pathetic pictures of episodes relating to
the tragedy of Calvary by the artist’s master, Paul Delaroche.
Mr. Armitage has also a second series of his frieze-lik© coloured
decoration, “A Dream of Fair Women : The Women of Ancient
Greece ” (1029). Other painters of Academic rank are repre¬
sented in their customary styles—styles so well known that any
fresh attempt at definition would bo superfluous. It may, tor
instance, suffice to say that Sir John Gilbert’s “Field of the
Cloth of Gold ” (620) is an example of the painter of more than
ordinary importance—so fertile and facile in the conception
and arrangement of its multitudinous figures, so appropriately
rich and pompous in colouring, so exuberant in its handling;
in short, a pictorial pageant so gorgeous that the artist could
well afford neither to care for great accuracy to contemporary
portraits of the French and English Kings, nor to discriminate
very carefully the types of the two nationalities in the heads
generally. Mr. Lewis’s four Eastern subjects are, as usual,
miracles of patient elaboration, in which, however, the sense
of atmosphere is more than ever wanting, owing, we think, to
a method of hatching and stippling (appropriate only in water
colours) with pigments, especially blues, too dilute with oil and
varnish. “The BezensteinBazaar of El Khan Khalic, Cairo”
(332), the 44 Lady Receiving Visitors ” (354) in the “manderall ,,
of her house, and the two smaller studies of 44 Outdoor” and
“ Indoor Gossip ” (352 and 353), are not the less wonderful aa
illustrations of Cairene life, manners, habits, costumes, and
architecture in a thousand minutke. Mr. Dobson has two
pictures, pure and sweet in feeling as, and perhaps more
pleasing in colour than, usual— 44 Father’s Welcome Home”
(339), a little fellow standing with outstretched arms beside an
elder sister carrying a baby, at the garden gate of a cottage ; and
another child-group, 44 Tending Goats” (405). The artist’s large
drawing, “ Nursery Tales ” (904), we shall have occasion to
notice later. Mr. Poole sends but three slight studies of rustic
lasses, alone or grouped with children. Mr. E. Nichol also haa
only two single-figure subjects, not very vigorous, but of eba-

racteristic humour — i.e., “ A Dander after the Rain ” (256) and
“When there ’s nothing else to do” (361) —a thrifty old Scot
knitting a stocking at his cottage door. \Vc had hoped to see
Nr. Elmore represented by a far more important picture than
hiB small but effective illustration of Scott's “ Peveril of the
Peak ” (327). Mr. Poynter’s sole contribution is a tiny classic
figure of a girl tying her sandal after a bath, called “ Rhodope ”
(172), tho Greek hetiera. Mr. Orchardsou’s best picture shows
a couple of bloodhounds arrested on the banks of a stream
whereon floats a man's cap, intimating that a fugitive has
“Escaped” (1415). Eis illustrations of “Hamlet and the
King” (265) and “Ophelia” (380) possess a febrile feebleness
as difficult to define as the clever yet thin, smeary, unmeaning
execution—those least acceptable characteristics of the recent
Scotch school.

Wo must conclude the present article with mention of
“The Prompter” (315), by Mr.Webster—a school incident, in
which it is gratifying to see the veteran artist retaining so
much of the humour and technical merit of early works ; Mr.
Lo Jeune’a pleasing picture of “Innocence ” (299) ; Mr. Cope s
illustration of “Taming the Shrew” (201), in which the con¬
ception is superior to the harsh colouring ; a figure of Ophelia
and Scotch landscapes by Mr. H. O’Kiel ; poetical subjects by
Mr. Frost; and “ The Gospel in the Glen : Incident in Olden
Time ” (558), by Mr. Thorburn.

KOYAL INSTITUTION LECTURES.

CONSTITUENTS OF THE ATMOSPHERE. — DIFFUSION AND
VENTILATION.

Mr. Walter N. Hartley, in his third lecture, on Thursday week,
resumed the consideration of the more minute constituents of
the atmosphere. Beginning with ammonia, he said that its

f reat solubility in water and its falling in dew accounts for
'rescuius finding its proportion during the day and night to be
1 and 17 respectively. The mean result of Fresemus’s analyses,

1 3 parts by weight in 10,000,000 parts of air, agrees pretty
nearly with that obtained by Mr. Horace Brown in 1869. Ozone,
a condensed form of oxygen, with greatly increased chemical
activity, was next considered. Having produced some ozone by
means of a silent electric discharge through atmospheric air,
Mr. Hartley showed that, although very small in amount, its
variations in quantity, according to locality and climatic changes,
can be detected by the depth of the blue shade given to paper
steeped in starch and iodide of potassium. As nitrous acid,
which is found in the air, also has this property, the existence
of ozone was long considered doubtful ; but, in 1868, the ques¬
tion was decided simultaneously by Schonbein, of Bdle, its
original discoverer, and-Andrews, of Belfast, who demonstrated
its presence by different methods. Mr. Hartley then explained
the effect of temperature in causing the mixture of the light
and heavy constituents of the atmosphere by the production of
currents, both violent and imperceptible, his remarks being
elucidated by various experiments showing the change of
density in carbonic acid gas when the temperature is
raised. In an aquarium filled with this gas some
floating soap bubbles sank, when the gas was heated by
the introduction of a hot flask; and a paper balloon rose to
the ceiling when filled with some of this heavy gas made light
by heat. Mr. Hartley then explained the principle of the
ventilation of mines by means of heat — there being two shafts,
one for the supply of fresh and one for the escape of foul air.
He next illustrated the phenomena of gaseous diffusion, or the
tendency of the particles of a gas to separate aa far as possible
from each other, and thus mix with other gases in spite of
their different weights. This property, discovered by Dalton,
was investigated by Graham, who established the law that the
rate of diffusion ot two gases is inversely with the square roots
of their relative weights. Thus hydrogen diffuses tour times
as quickly as oxygen, which is sixteen times heavier. The
diffusibility of gases through porous media was also exhibited.
A bell-jar of hydrogen was held over a porous vessel and the
free exit was closed by water. The hydrogen passed through
bo .much more rapidly than the air escaped, that the w-ater was
projected upwards like a fountain to a considerable height.
Adverting to ventilation, which he defined as the art of
supplying fresh air at a rate less than 19 in. a second,
Mr. Hartley said that the creation of draughts by
recklessly opening windows in our homes w-as quite as
hurtful as bad ventilation. After referring to Dr. Angus Smith’s
analysis of the air of workshops, theatres, and law' courts, he
gave the following proportions of carbonic acid gas in 10,000
volumes of air, obtained by himself at the Money Order Office,
Aldersgate-Btreet, on a dark day, wfith the gas lighted, 22;
ordinary state, 17 *6 ; windows wude open, 4 2. Covent Garden
Theatre, April 28, 1874, at 10.10 p.m., 22, doors open between
the acts ; doors open, 17 6 ; at 10.20 p m., draught near a door,
14 8. Drury Lane Theatre, at 9.40 p.m., mean of three
analyses, 25 9. The ill effect of this air npon the audience
was painfully evident. The estimation of the carbonic acid is
strictly the measure of the pollution of the air. Mr. Hartley
next alluded to Pettcnkofers demonstration of tho passage of
air through walls of brick and Btone in various degrees ; and
concluded with remarks on the production of nitrous acid by
thunderstorms , referring to some experiments of Mr. J. Miller
Thomson, of King’s College, w'ho had ascertained that the
entire quantity of the oxygen in the air may be used up in the
form of nitrous acid.

EARLY INHABITANTS OF THE NORTH OF ENGLAND.
Professor Rolleston, F.R.S., of Oxford, began his discourse,
at the Friday evening meeting on the 1st insfc., by referring to
various objects before him, such as urus and their contents,
ornaments, and other relics, procured from the graves of the
various races who successively inhabited the North of England.
He then described the discovery of a very large number of
Anglo-Saxon cremation urns in a part of the East Hiding of
Yorkshire which is connected with the names of Edwin,
PaullinuB, and Coiti; a fact affording strong confirmation of
his opinion, propounded to the members March 25, IS70, that
the Anglo-Saxons were exceedingly numerous iu Britain, lie
then exhibited and described some sets of ornaments obtained
by him in the same district from Anglo-Saxon burials, which
afford evidence of a stage between Heathen cremation and
Christian burial, as described by him in the “ Archmologia,”
voL xlii., 1870. With these relics some much older implements
as w'ell as others quite modem have b^en accidentally or pur¬
posely mixed np in the graves themselves, and have thus led,
or may lead, to various fallacies. The Professor then gave a
brief summary of the way in which cremation sepulture in
England during the period of Saxon heathendom, from
a.d. 450 to 630, gave way in Roman Britain to iuhu illa¬
tion, from the date of the generation subsequent to Septimius
Severn® dow n to a.d. 450. Before passing to the description of
the Pre-Roman and pre-historic modes of interment practised
in the North of England, the Professor made some remark on
the rationale, or, as it may be termed, the genesis of cremation,
and expressed his mingled assent and dissent to the recently
published views of Professor Unger; and the account of the
“Funeral Ceremonies ot the Ancient Hindus,” given by Babu
Rajendralala Mitra in the Journal of the Asiatic Society, No. 4,

1870. Affectidn fot-miecfcascii foUliVe ntarhdve suggest® 1t«W
objects to tho survivors ot all ages; firstly,*!£
tho surroundings ot the deceased in trio yet, dddoi
they w'ere at the time of death, this object being fel o / •

right one, as the mourner did not realise the fact of death
it 3 bearings at once. Secondly, it was felt to be right to have
remains of the departed preserved under the protection anti m
the proximity of kinsfolk. The chambered long barrow with
its inmates ranged in a crouching position along its wall,
having food and other things placed side by Side \Yith tlicm,
in imitation of the home tenanted by them in life, answered
both purposes. Difficulties of transport, death in war, or by
plague, or the natural consequences of a hot climate, as de¬
scribed by Tiresias in the “ Antigone ” of Sophocles, often
made cremation the only possible mode of securing at least the
second of these objects. The Professor concluded with a
description, illustrated by diagrams, of the round and long bar-
rows of the North of England, at the examination of which by
the Rev. Canon Wm. Greenwell he had many times assisted.
The following passage from Wordsworth’s “ Prelude (Book
xiii., near the end) is beautifully illustrative of the subject of
his discourse :—

* Time with his retinuo of ages lied

Backwards, nor checked his flight until I saw
Our dim ancestral Past in vision clear:

Saw multitudes of men, and, here and there,

A single Briton clothed in wolfskin vest,

With shield and stone-axe stride across tho wold ;

The voice of spears was heard, the rattling spear,

Shaken by arms of mighty bone, in strength,

Long mouldered, of l>arbaric majesty.

George Busk, Esq., F.R.S., the treasurer and vice-president,
was in the chair.

RELATION OF NATOLEON I. TO THE REVOLUTION.

Mr. John Robert Seeley, M.A., Professor of Modern History
at Cambridge, in his third lecture, on Saturday last, reverted
to the two theories respecting tho French Revolution, which he
named the “ Satanic wickedness ” and the “Divine madness”
theories, and which he showed to be overdrawn and untenable.
It was a mistake to attribute to Napoleon the passage from an
enthusiastic ambition to the desire of despotic power. Dumourier
possessed as much desire for conquest as Napoleon ; and the
Revolution, like Minerva, w'as bora armed from head to foot.
The war was really tho diversion to the purposes of foreign
conquest of the energy which ought to have been devoted to
political reconstruction, and Napoleon w r as the chief agent.
When France acquired liberty, she view'ed it as a new means for
recovering her former ascendency. It was like the discovery
of a new military w-eapon, not a new phase of civilisation.
For successful war absolute despotism is considered most
favourable ; and such was the case with Alexander the Great;
but that liberty is not unfavourable to conquest w f as shown by
Athens. French freedom had far more power than the decrepit
despotisms of the houses of Hapsburg and Bourbon ; and France
was rejuvenated by the Revolution, and liberty became the
“mode,” from 1789 to 1791, the time of Miraheau, who said that
“the chance of recovering our asceudency has come; but w'c have
renounced conquest.” In 1792, however, the thought arose,
“ May not the two go together ?” This was the fundamental
idea of the Revolution. It led France from her most luminous
to her darkest period, and was the cause of all the sanguinary
horrors of the time. Liberty became a military instrument, not
a source of happiness. This idea closely connects the Revo¬
lution and Napoleon. In regard to government, the Revolution
was a failure from beginning to end. The National Assemblies
became politically w*orse and worse ; they gave examples .of
mere constitution-mongering, and none of the schemes wouM
work. The great achievement of the Convention was the lev^e
en masse, which alone preserved it from contempt. In 17u3
France put forth fourteen armies and 1,100,000 men. It was
not merely patriotic ardour which subdued the hired troops of
the Sovereigns ; they were actually outnumbered. The nation
thus became accustomed to great armies before the rise of
Napoleon in 1796 ; and in considering this wonderful career of
Napoleon w'e must recollect the enormous scale of his
operations and tho vast and unexampled supply of troops
willingly placed at his disposal. The want of these
checked the progress of other great Generals, such

ZXJv and her ap pliances for cable- laying.

PARIS SPRING FASHIONS.

The warm weather has developed both the (lowers and tho
fashions earlier than usual this year, and the new crcatious of
Parisian modistes show considerable originality, but only so far
as shape is concerned, tho prevailing tints being much the same
as were in vogue twelve months ago. Tho fashionablo colour
of the moment is grey in all its different shades, such as gris
argents, cris vert, gris do plomb, gria pcrle, gris do nuage, vert
de gris—iron, ash, mouse, and slate grey. Gayer tints will,
however, predominate in the course of a few weeks, and many
of these have already made their appearance at the weakly
gatherings at the Longckamps and Auteuil racecourses, including
marine and cerulean, peacock and heron blue, mignonette green,
dove colour, havannah brown, lieru and light mauve. Amoyg the
fashionable materials for toilettes de visitc and do promenade
are foulards, the plain and striped varieties of which arc worn
combined; also a very fine poplin, termed La Sicilienne, made
in every shade of colour ; while for dinner and evening dresses
a semi-transparent silk of a novel dcru colour, and termed the
Goaly, has made its appearance. The fichu Marie Antoinette
has once more reappeared, but in competition with its more
coquettish and graceful rival the fichu Charlotte Corday.

The chapeaux for the coining season will lie tho Monteglin
and the d’Harcourt, descriptions of w T hich will he found below' ;
the Directoire, made of white straw , with a high front lined
with pink silk, and ornamented with a garland of pinkish
pansies, while surmounting the w'holc is a large bow formed of
numerous coques of reddish brown ribbon ; the Clairctte, named
after the heroine of the “ Fille de Madame Angot,” which is
very like the Marie Stuart both in shape ami ornament;
together with the Beatrix, formed of a toque of beaded black
tulle, encircled with a garland of leaves, mignonette blossoms,
and pansies.

deep ruche edged with grey velvet, and simulating to some
extent a manteau de cour. The tunic, w'hich is of cashmere, is
bordered with similar velvet biais, and trimmed with large
silver buttons. It is gathered up en pouff behind, with a broad
sash falling below the knees. There are large cuffs to the
sleeves, and ruffle-like plaits to the neck. The chapeau is of
mauve faye, edged with violet velvet and trimmed with bunches
of lilac and bows of ribbon.

Montiort jacket, which is made adjusted to the waist with largo
open facings and pouff* behind, it is bordered with guipure
and trimmed with ornaments of passementerie. The chapeau,
which is of white straw, is turned up on each side, and
trimmed with flowers and feathers, a large bow falling behind.

Fig. S. Toilette of cerulean blue tail eta, with flounces ami
trimmings of foulard, stripped blue and white. Tho tunic, cut
in polonaise fashion and crossed en biais from left to right in

new system, but merely followed out the principles of the
Revolution. MTiile doing this France readily accepted the
change from a free democracy to a hereditary despotism, the
revival of Catholicism, the restoration of tho nobility, and
other medkeval institutions w'hich had been indignantly
swept away. The Revolution meant pre-eminently the
ascendency of France over Europe; and to this

idea

Napoleon was faithful to the last, preferring abdication
to accepting France wfith the limits of 1791. Thus he failed
to attain the great object of his life—to secure for France
an equivalent for the acquisitions of the other great Powers,
and her condition in 1815 was worse than in 1789. During the
peace which followed she was still hankering after her lost
ascendency, not without hope, and the cry for w r ar was mixed
with that for democracy. Eventually imperialism was revived
by a disciple of Napoleon who thoroughly anew and understood
his theory. France again attained somewhat of her former
position, and in the Italian war of 1859 gave an honest stroke
for liberty. But she again fell in 1870, w'hcn she attempted to
revive the idea of the revolutionary period, and made war
simply for increase of tcrritor}'.

FUNCTIONS OF THE SPINAL CORD.

Professor Rutherford, M.D., began hia fourth lecture on tho
nervous system, on Tuesday la 3 t, by describing the mechanism
of reflex actions, and indicating the probable mode of action of
the inhibitory nerves, w'hich inhibit or control exeito-motor
Actions. He then passed to the consideration of the special
physiology of the nervous system, and narrated how its
functions have been ascertained, to some extent, by experi¬
ment, by the observation of diseased conditions, by compara¬
tive physiology, and by a study of tho development of the
individual. 'Hie physiology of the spinal cord and its nerves
w'as first elucidated, and the experiments were described by
which the anterior roots are know-n to be motor and the posterior
roots to he sensory ; the sensory impressions cross from on
side to the other in the cord, while the motor impulses cross in
the medulla oblongata. Refeience was made to the dis¬
coveries of Sir Charles Bell iu relation to this sub ject. Motor
impulses are principally conveyed by the anterior and lateral
columns of the white matter of the cord, while sensory
impulses are conveyed by the grey matter of the cord, and,
according to Schitf, by the posterior columns also. It* the
posterior columns be divided, there is, according to Schiff, a
loss of tactile sensibility, and disordered motion on the part of
the body behind the point of section. The lecture was illus¬
trated by many coloured diagrams.

Mr. R. A. Proctor will this day begin a course of six
lectures on the Planetary Systems ; on Thursday next Mr.
Xevil Story Maskelyne, keeper of the mineral department in
the British Museum, will begin a course of four lecture® on the
Physical Symmetry of Crystals ; and at the next Friday even

THE CIVIL WAli IN SPAIN.

The conflict in the neighbourhood of Bilbao, tho chief town of
Biscay, between the Carlist army, which besieged that town,
and the forces of the Madrid National Government, has ended
in the defeat of the Carlists. Marshal Serrano and Marshal
Concha, in command of the two divisions of the National
army, having successfully carried out their operations and
forced the Carlists to raise the siege, entered Bilbao last Satur¬
day evening. Their combined forces were 37,000 regular troops,
with seventy guns. The Carlists, under General hlio, accom¬
panied by Don Carlos de Bourbon, whom his partisans call
Leg Charles VII., numbered about 20,000, and their artillery
was defective. They abandoned, on the night of the 28th ult.,
Tuesday week, their strongly intrenched position on the hill of
San Pedro de Abanto, in front of the village of bomorrostro.
This place is seven or eight miles north-west of Bilbao, command¬
ing Portugalete, where the river Nervion, on which Bilbao
stands, has its mouth on the shore of the Bay of Biscay. The
iron-mines of Somorrostro were formerly of some note, and
furnished material for the Bilbao manufacture of swords and

armour. , . ,

The positions occupied a month since by the army of the
National Government, at tho commencement of these late
operations, should be described. Their line extended south¬
ward inland from^the seacoast at the mouth of the small

fordable river of Somorrostro, seven or eight miles along its left

bank. Mountains or hills of considerable height rise on eacn
side of the river. The high road from Castro Urdiales to Por¬
tugalete and Bilbao runs parallel to the sea, in a valley, an
intersects the line at right angles, the village of San Juan de
Somorrostro being in the centre. Facing the left of the position
is a range of mountains from the coast to the Church of Santa
Juliana, past which runs the high road above mentioned. Vue
of these mountains, named Mandres, is conical in shape. ^ Lpon
its steep and unsheltered sides the Carlists defeated General
Moriones on Feb. 25. Lower down is a ridge of hills, with a
few cottages on them, called Sau Fuentes. At a short distance
from them on the road is the village of San Pedro de Abanto,
■which was the centre of the Carlist line. On the right, starting
from there, the mountains continue to rise as far as Galdamos,
which is on the extreme right.

. While one part of the National army, under the Dictator, i
Marshal Serrano, was engaged in front of the lines of Abanto,
the division under Concha moved on Baluiaseda, to tho east of
Bilbao, by the valley of Sopuerta. Their object was that of
giving time for the troops concentrating at Miranda del Ebro,
Puebla, and Vitoria to come up to Ordufia, on the border line
of Biscay and Alava, with the intention of cutting off the
retreat of the Carlists from the latter province. The Carlists,
who had for a good while past expected an attack on that side (
of Biscay, had thrown up strong defensive works on the

approaches to their positions. They had concentrated at
near Balmaseda some of their troops. At Ovosco, to the right
of Balmaseda, only a few miles distant, the Carliats j^]
amassed large stores of provisions and ammunition. They h*d
established between Ovosco and Durango, the temporary he*j.
quarters of Don Carlos, a series of liitrenchmeuts, passing i Q .
aireot line by Villaro from the first to the latter point. I t is
evident they had (lone for their defence as much as they
possibly could, and more than was supposed. Indeed,
Carlists seem to have provided for the worst; for they h* Vft
taken measures, in case of a check, to secure by \ lllarea] 4 ^
Archivaleta, near the well-known Pass of Salinas, the uieaiu^f
falling back towards Guipuzcoa and Navarro.

In the meanwhile Ernaui and Renteria, near San Sebastian
were surrounded by Carlists, and in the latter town the noand
of cannon was heard from the heights of Santa Barbara, which
command the town ot Ernani. Shots were now and then ex-
changed between the volunteers of Fontarabia and Uarlbt
marauders. The heights of San Mareial, above lrun, were
fortified by the Carlists.

Our Map of the Basque Provinces and adjacent parts of
Spain will help to explain the recent militaiy events. The
sketches by onr Artist, M. Dick de Lonlay, from tho head,
quarters of the Spanish national army, at Somorrostro, give
several different views of the Carlist positions, and one of the
battery of San Lorenzo. The following extracts from the last

PLAN OP BILBAO AND SOMORROSTRO.

week’s letters of the Times 1 correspondent seem a good descrip¬
tion of the scene of this warfare :—

“ Never had a picturesque valley like that of Somorrostro a
more appropriate name. It is surrounded by solemn mountains,
the sombre caverns and bushy sides of which seem to be the
haunts of witches and evil spirits. The word Somorrostro is
derived from the Basque and Spanish —Somorra meaning in
Basque some awful supernatural being, and rostra being the
Spanish for face. The Carlist positions, silent and formidable,
must certainly have looked portentous to Serrano lately ; but
it appears that, with Concha*s help, he is about to get rid of
the bugbear.

“ Somorrostro is in a hollow surrounded by heights, some of
them so lofty and precipitous that to take them, even from a
very inferior force, would involve au impracticable sacrifice of
meu. Nearly all these hoights—the most formidable—are in
the hands of the Carlists, who could make the plain below un¬
tenable if they had proper artillery ; but, in the absence of
this, the Republicans have been able to force their way up the
gradually ascending hollow, surrounded everywhere but in the
rear by foes, and to make straight for Bilbao. The farther they
advance the more foes they must leave behind them. As the
hills occupied by tho Carlists converge towards the upper—that
is, the Bilbao—end of the hollow, near the village of Marietta
and the Church of San Pedro Abanto. the key of the Carlist
position, the Republicans, in advancing to take these two
places, wore brought well within rifio range on all sides. No
wonder the slaughter was terrific, and that the attack on tho
church failed. It is rather matter for surprise tliat Marietta
was taken; but the Republican troops, though most of them
raw levies, fought with extraordinary gallantry. Perhaps it
may he doubted whether old soldiers who knew what war was
would have submitted to be led into such a murderous trap.
The conscripts may have thought that it was the correct and
usual thing to be thus fired into from all sides ; so they took
their slaughtering patiently.

“ I was one of a small party of Englishmen who paid a visit
to the village of Marietta, or what was a month ago a village ;
it is now but a heap of ruins. It was round this spot that the
battle of Somorrostro—here called the battle of Marietta—raged
most fiercely. Over 1500 killed and wounded men, on the R* pub¬
lican side alone, lay in a fearfully short space of time upou one
narrow tract of ground. Murietta, thus hardly won ana dearly
bought, is now the most advanced post of tho Republican force.
It goes, like the thin edge of a wedge, right into the Carlist
lines, to the fire of which it is exposed—strange as this may
seem to military readers—both in front and in rear. There is
literally no cover worthy the name for the handful of troops
which garrison it. As we stood among them, we found that
while one body of Carlists, full in view, with, rifles in their
hands, might have been firing into our faces, 150 or 200 yards
otr. another body, about twice that distance, might have been
leisurely taking pot-shots at us behind. Indeed, as the Carlist
lines extended the whole way round, we should have been
in a complete circle of fire. Add to this, there is no sort of
covered way or even favourable ground, by which, in case of a
sudden attack, reinforcements could be safely got to the out¬
posts. They would have to advance over an open fi-dd,
exposed to a downward converging fire from all sides—pre¬
cisely the same fire, in fact, which so quickly dropped 1500 of
them the other day. A more extraordinary military position [
never saw or heard of. I can only account for its ever having
been occupied, or its now being thus quietly held, partly by
the character of the country, and partly by one side having an
overwhelming superiority in artillery.

“ Here and there are trees or thick brushwood enough to
supply admirable cover, in addition to the advantages of
TT V 1 ! wa8 , A0 !* 08 ? a Precipitous, partially-wooded ravine
yeste r da y at the Carlist sentries on the
other side of it, their mtrenchmenta rising gradually one above
the other, anil most of them communicating by zigzags and
covered ways far up the mountain side. The General told me

that before troops could get to the top of tho mountain
drive the last Carlists off it, so as to be able to push safely on
without having an enemy firing down upon their heads, they
would perhaps have to carry thirty such intrenchments. Some
of them are naturaWa ledge of scarped rock doing as good duty
as the best barricade; sometimes only a few palisades nre
required just to stop one dangerous gap. When the ground
happens to be too level or open artificial fortifications are made.
We could see on the railway made by an English company
bring the ore from their mines an immensely strong breastwork,
admirably pnt together, with materials taken all ready to h» D( l
from the railway itself. To carry such a breastwork alone,
supposing it fairly protected, would involve a terrible low °*
life.

“ The more a ‘ foreigner * looks at the Carlist position* in
front of Somorrostro, the harder does ho find it to comprehtn 1 !
how troops could ever have been led full at their centre
was done in the last engagement, when nearly 3000 men win-
sacrificed in return for a comparatively slight advantage. '*
is to avoid a repetition of the same fatal mistake that ilardii
Concha’s turning movement is now being made.

“ After a delay of some weeks, which was, perhaps, l ,,D § er
than it need have been, Concha made a move forward in tbn*
columns, in the way I have explained—namely, his right l')
way of Ampue.ro, on to the Romaics road, his centre by OurieA
and his left by Otafies. As yet he has been successful.
that he lias done good work is proved by the fact that t ® 8
Carlists have been driven back from positions which they
rentlv intended and wished to keep. The fighting comment 1
on Monday, the civil guards, carabiuiera, and some line troop*
meeting the enemy about half way between Castro and
where they attacked him with vigour. The positions to w
taken were formidable ; but the Carlists appear to have heeQ
unable to make much of a resistance for want of men to k«'P
back Concha’s right and centre, which continually kept ad¬
vancing and turning the occupied heights. Still the Carlist*

fought desperately, and up to yesterday afternoon had ouly
fallen back about three miles, which brings them in a line with
the forces at Somorrostro. The Spanish troops always fire
wildly, and the number of killed and wounded is not in pro¬
portion to the shots tired.

“Concha is now moving with his left on the Galdames
heights, his right sweeping round, so as to completely overlap
the Carlist left; but as yet Elio has not thought it necessary
to abandon his position at Somorrostro, and as long as he
remains there it shows that he has yet hopes of arresting
Concha’s progress on his left. Everyone speaks confidently
here of being in Bilbao by Saturday. Elio, however, is by no
means a contemptible foe,' as he has already proved ; and as a
tactician he is equal, if not superior, to any other Spanish
General. While Marshal Concha was thus working on the
Otafies road, Serrano was cannonading the church and hamlet
of San Pedro do Abanto, and gradually extending his right, so
a 3 to meet and support Conchas left—a junction which, I
believe, has already been effected."

The date of the letter above quoted is Wednesday, the 29th
ult., since which news has reached us of the complete success
of Serrano and Concha in their combined operations, the
retreat of the Carlists to Orduna, and the relief of Bilbao.
The townspeople had suffered much distress from want of food.
They had no bread for the last five days ; horseflesh was 4s. a
pound, veal 8 s., and one egg was a shilling. The town was
bombarded by the Carlists nearly forty days, throwing in 6000
shells. Few lives were lost, but many houses were destroyed.
The English residents left on the 20th ult.; but our Consul, Mr.
Horace Young, remained throughout the siege.

A despatch of last Tuesday, from the French frontier of
Spain, gives the following information. The army of the
north, under Concha, occupies Yalmaseda, Algorta, Vezcaga,
Bilbao, Portugalete, aud the left bank of the Nervion. The
Carlist army, which had been composed of thirty-seven bat¬
talions, now contains but thirty-one, three Navarrese battalions
having dispersed to their homes, and three Guipuzcoan bat¬
talions having been dispatched to strengthen the force guarding
the military factories. The Carlist army occupies the right
bank of the Nervion and the ground in the vicinity of Bilbao.
Five battalions are at Ordufia under the command of Velazco.
Don Carlos is at Durango, and the Marquis de Yaldespina at
Landezera. The Carlists declare that the enemy has not taken
a single musket from them. There is a vague talk of treason
on the part of some Carlist chiefs, and it is asserted that four
brigadiers have been arrested by orders of General Elio. It is
also stated that Velazco would not retain his command.

A proclamation is about to be issued by Don Carlos to his
army. Marshal Serrano and Admiral Topctc have left for
Madrid, and Marshal Concha remains at the head of the army
of the north.

CHESS INTELLIGENCE.

The May number of tho City qf London Chest Magazine is naturally
given up this month to the subject of the Vienna diesa match, of which it
publishes the London game. It is to be regretted that the editors thought
lit to reprint the analysis in extenso of this game, which so Lately
appeared in a sporting contemporary, rather than afford the public some
new lights upon the combination* from their own examination. A full
account is also furnished of the handicap tournament of the City Club, and
some complaints are made as to the accuracy of the handicapping. Surely,
the fact that two of tho first-class players came into the final pool speaks
well for the fairness of the arrangements ; although, no doubt, Mr. Mothers
was placed in a class below his merits.

An idea that the game of chess is in need of reformation seems to have
many supporters. A nobleman, equally distinguished for his high classical
attainments and his remarkable skill as a chessplayer, many years ago
suggested in our columns a certain displacement of the pieces for the
better showiug the original capacity of players. Since then Mr. Mongredieu
offered a prize in which a similar disarrangement should be compulsory.
More recently still, Mr. Lewis lias followed this example at the Cafd de la
ib-gence; and now we are told that a celebrated English player has
patented a new chess equipage. The dimensions of the chess-board are to
be 10 by 8 ; and the great novelty in the men is to be a new piece,
uniting the powers of a rook and of a pawn, and to he called the
“ Chancellor. ’ Tho first notion was to endow this novel warrior with the
qualitiesof a queen and knight; butthat idea is now definitively abandoned.
Had this tremendous piece been called into existence, it would, probably,
have been called the Octopus for what other name could better have
expressed its formidable and comprehensive character ? As to the utility
of any reform in the game we entertain strong doubts, and we trust that
tile inventor will not be induced, to relinquish his practice at the old game,
m which he has gained so deserved a reputation. In the chess world
there have been few events of late worth chronicling. Not long Bince the
Divan was. stirred up by a visit from Mr. Thorold, who gallantly tried a
new variation of hiH own in the AUgaier-Qambit, and, as wo hoar, with a
degree of success which is thought to be due rather to his skill and valour
than to the merit of his opening. It is to be hoped that some of these
public k aV ° b€en preservc “* M th ey would probably bo interesting to the

Glasgow and Dublin Chess Match.— The match by correspondence
between the Glasgow Chess Club and the City of Dublin Chess Club 1ms
lately terminated in favour of Glasgow.

pool side were Messrs, Scholl, C. Soul, Dufresnc, J. Soul, Wellington,
Nemo, and Avchdall who were paired against Messrs. Baddeley, Burnet
Gnibe, bteinkuhler, Tarrant, M. B. Wood, and E. H. Wood. According

Salk of Works on Chess.— Our attention has been called to two
catalogues of valuable books on the game of chess which are to be dis¬
persed under the hammer of Messrs. Sothebv and Wilkinson next week.
The first collection is that of Mr. Walter, which will be sold on the 14th
inst., containing editions of Damiano, Buy Lopez, Carrera, Salvio,
Oianutio, Greco, Cozio. Lolli. Ponziani, and many other masters. The
second, consisting of not less than 473 lots, is the property of an American
amateur, and is to be disposed of on the 15th inst. It includes, besides a
few specimens of the early writers, a remarkably comprehensive series of
the modem ones—namely, the whole of the Chess-Playin’ Chronicle from
1841 to 1802; a set of the now rare PalamMe, from its beginning, in 1830
to its conclusion, in 1847; many valuable editions of Pliilidor ; all the
chief treatises of Lewis, Walker, Staunton, Bilguer, Der Laza, Jaeniseli
Prvti, and other standard authors on the game; together with some
manuscripts of exceeding interest to the lovers of chess.

Play will begin at_ twelve o'clock. Tournaments will be arranged, as
usual, on tho day of meeting, and a match will also bo contested between
tho Wakefield and Leeds Chess Clubs. In order to encourage a taste for
the literature of the game, the prizes this year will be a choice selection
of works on chess.

Lord Chancellor, Sir Stafford Northcote, Mr. Cross, and Mr.
Gathome Hardy, Cabinet Ministers ; the Speaker of the House
of Commons, the Archbishop of Canterbury, several foreign
Ambassadors, many members of the two Houses of Parliament,
tho Aldermen of London, and some distinguished officers of
the Army and Navy. They began to arrive soon after eight
o’clock, and were met in the reception-saloon by the Lord
Mayor, Alderman Lusk, M.P., and Mrs. Lusk, the Lady
Mayoress. Most of the gentlemen wore Court suits, or
military or diplomatic uniforms.

The facade of the Mansion House was brilliantly illuminated
with suitable devices. The interior presented an aspect that
art and fancy could not excel. The entrance hall was tastefully
laid out with plants, flowers, and ferns. Beds of rare aud
delicate flowers were artistically arranged on each side of the
vestibule. Over the doors were fine wreaths of laurels sur¬
rounding gilded panels in carved relief. Trailing round the
numerous mirrors were ivy and beautiful creeping plants.
Overhead were suspended double festoons of natural leaves and
flowers ; between the festoons hung large baskets of roses and
fusehias. In the beds of plants were gas jets, whose lights
were reflected in the surrounding mirrors. In the corridor the
decorations were equally effective. Round the four pillars in
the centre avenue were wound double festoons of natural leave®
and flowers interspersed with baskets of cut flowers.

The reception-room had never appeared to greater effect.
There were long vista 3 of flowers of the richest colours ; foliage
and gigantic palms artistically arranged, interspersed with
classical figures. Around the mirrors were entwined creeping
plants, hearing the appearance of having takon root in the
carpeted floor of the saloon. These floral decorations were re¬
lieved by a display of silk trophies on the columns ; of shields
with the armorial bearings of the Duke and Duchess of
Edinburgh, the Russian Imperial arms, the arms of the Prince
of Wales and other members of the Royal family. Round the>e
were large silk banners and flags of England and Russia, edged
with deep rich gold fringe and tassels. The aroma arising from
the beautiful plants, flowers, and scented waters was pleasant
in the reception-room. The scene was enlivened by the occa¬
sional introduction of the lime-light thrown upon the sprays of
the crystal fountain, at the entrance to the Egyptian Hall!

V The ball-room (the Egyptian Hall) was ornamented with
m uch pomp. Under the cast window was erected the Royal dais,
covered with rich crimson cloth of a deep imperial colour, at
the back of which were placed immensely large mirrors. Over
the dais was a richly-carved gold canopy, draped with the mo*t
costly purple satin, fringed with deep gold lace and gold tassels.
There was also a large trophy, consisting of the Royal arms of
England, surmounted by a silken banner and supported on each
side by five immense silk flags of Russia and England. Oppo¬
site the dais was the orchestra, in which were stationed the
Coldstream Guards’ band, under the direction of Mr. Fred
Godfrey. Similar decorations were seen in the Long Parlour
and the different upper rooms. Everything appeared so com-

S lete that it was difficult to suggest an improvement. The
ecorations were designed aud prepared by Mr. J. L. Harris,
for Messrs. Defries and Sons.

The ceremony of reception was conducted as a matter of
course; the guests, after the formal introduction, passing
through into the Egyptian Hall or taking up a position on cither
side of the saloon, there to watch and to greet the succeeding
arrivals. At half-past ten o’clock a sudden movement was made.
The reception committee formed up and led the way to the
vestibule, followed by the Swordbearer, the Macebearer, and
the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress. There they awaited the
arrival of the Royal party. At twenty minutes to eleven the
music of the National Anthem announced the approach of their
Royal Highnesses. A few minutes afterwards the L>uke and
Duchess of Edinburgh, followed by the Prince and Prii.cess of
Wales, entered tho vestibule, aud were received by the Lord
Mayor and Lady Mayoress. The committee led the way to the
ball room, where dancing commenced, and was continued with
great spirit until twelve o’clock. Our Illustration shows the
first quadrille—the Lord Mayor hes the Duchess of Edinburgh
for his partner, while the Duke of Edinburgh had the Lady
Mayoress, the Prince of Wales danced with the French
Ambassadress, and the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg with the
Princess of Wales. The Duke of Cambridge, the Duke of
Teck, the Duchess of Sutherland, and Lady Emily Kingscoto
also took part in the quadrille. Supper was then served. At
the conclusion dancipg was resumed, and kept up till an
advanced hour. The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh left the
Mansion House at half-past one.

Mr. Lang, of Bristol, has presented to the Corporation a
rare collection of old china, valued at £3000.

Mr. G. F. Muntz presided at a council meeting of the
Central Chamber of Agriculture on Tuesday, at which a reso¬
lution was carried, upon the motion of Lord Hampton, expres¬
sive of satisfaction at the financial proposals of the Government
on the question of local taxation.

The picture by Richter, a German artist, of “ The Gipsy ”
which appeared in an Engraving in our Paper last weekfwis
copied from a photograph published by the Berlin Photographic
Company, whose London agent. Mr. Gcrson, is at 5 , Rathbone-
place, Oxford-street; or at 71, London-wall.

The first public park ever owned by Sheffield was opened
on Monday. The park, which .is about twelve acres in
extent was purchased from the late Miss Harrison of
Sheffield, for £18,700. There stands ill it a large mansion
which it is proposed to convert into a museum and picture-
galleries, lhe Town Council, who negotiated for the purchase
of the park intend to open others in different parts of the town.
1 he Mayor (Mr. J. Hallam) and the members of the Corporation
visited the park on Monday in procession, headed by the police
band and on arnvmg there the Mayor declared the park, which
is to .be called YY eston lark, open to the free access of the
public.

England, lias this week received as her guest for a short
while the Emperor of Russia, Alexander II. He has not
come hither in state, but the respect which will bo paid
him by our Court and people will be none the less. He
may be said to have had a pleasant introduction to hn
host, for his daughter, tlie Duchess of Edinburgh, who ia
regarded as one of ourselves, and who has won the
affectionate regard of the entire British community, pre¬
ceded him, and for her sake, as well as for his own, the
impulse of all hearts is to give him cordial welcome.
We know something of him—less perhaps of the Empire
which he represents—and we bear in mind that the
Imperial family is now connected with the family of our
own much beloved Sovereign by tender ties. The
Emperor s reign has not only attracted our attention, but
excited, in many respects, our admiration. He has done
much for Russia, and has, for the most part, done it by
peaceful methods. To the policy of his Government the
country over which he sways the sceptre owes a large
and rapid advance in civilisation. His authority, it
is fine, is nominally autocratic, but in reality it is
tempered by many unwritten restrictions. He has
sought our shores for the gratification of feelings
with which we are all prepared to sympathise. We
heartily wish the Imperial father ail the enjoy¬
ment he can himself desire in his renewed inter¬
course with his only daughter. We trust he may
bear with him when he is compelled to quit her side very
pleasant memories of her adopted home, and that he will
never bo conscious of even a passing regret that her
sphere has, with his own consent, been fixed for her in
this realm.

There is much which the Emperor of Russia will see
duiing his visit calculated to raise his admiration. In
that inner circle of Royalty with which he will become
familiar he will meet with quiet illustrations of domestic
purity and family affection wliich ho is well qualified by
his own life to appreciate at its true worth. His request
before leaving St. Petersburg that state ceremonials
might be dispensed with, aud that he might he indulged
uith a semi-private and unofficial reception, will have
secured for him a better opportunity than otherwise he
could have hoped for to participate in the charms , and to
reciprocate the pleasing obligations, of family life in the
Royal circle. It is there that he is likely most fully to
gratify his paternal fondness and that he will find the
widest area over which to commune in those views and
aspirations, anxieties and hopes, which, however exalted
a man s position may be, remain closest to tlie centre of
his being. We take a deep interest in his visit, not only
for his daughters, but for the Queen's sake. His pre¬
sence at Court may probably revive recollections asso¬
ciated with sorrow’; but it will also strengthen and invi¬
gorate resolutions bom to duty in the hour of that sorrow.
Her Majesty's subjects rejoice in every event which pre¬
sents a fresh occasion on which she may exhibit tlie
beauty and force of her womanly character; and they
have no doubt that in the society of such a man as the
Emperor of Russia she will bear herself in a manner
equally honourable to her qualities as a woman and a
Q ueen.

But the Czar comes also as a guest to the nation,
and, brief as his stay may be, he will probably come
across many things which will excite his wonder,
which will prompt him to reflection, and wliicli will
instruct his thoughts. This metropolis, for instance,
whilst it can hardly be said to vie with others
in external beauty, offers to every intelligent visitor
from abroad many phenomena deserving of serious study*
It is, perhaps, the largest agglomeration of inhabitants
which the world contains within the same limited com¬
pass. Its municipal government is of the rudest and
most insufficient character. Its public order, however,
is seldom infringed upon. There is as entire safety lor
person and property within its closely-crowded circle a*
can be found elsewhere. Yet it is only here aud then*
that a military uniform can be seem It does not require
any oppressive show of force or any all-pervasive action
of police -espionage to preserve in their due relation to
one another the millions of inhabitants that dwell within
a ten-mile radius of St. Paul’s. No doubt, London ha>
its roughs, as have other great capitals, but they
usually kept in order much less by organised force th;m
by a prevalent public sentiment. The same observation
m substance will apply to the entire country. Politic^
freedom is the underlying secret of our popular quietude.
I he problem h both a curious and an interesting one 1 ’
despotic Sovereigns.

There is another feature of English society trii^
will probably attract the attention of oitr Imperial g , ; '
He will see on every hand abounding illustrations of
the magical effects resulting from our national industry.
In Ins swift journey from Dover, the exqnistedj;
finished culture of the land over which he passe)
have probably caught his attention. In the river which
flows through the heart of London he may look upon *

iv ©mercial fleet such as can nowhere else be met with.
In our manufacturing towns—should he deem it worth
his while to visit any of them, or even within metro¬
politan precincts, should he choose not to go further—
he may witness, perhaps, the most perfect specimens
that can bo found of organised human labour and of its
myriad results. It is not to be expected that he will
tread in the footsteps of Peter the Great, nor is it to be
supposed that in the Empire over which he presides there
aie not similar wonders to be seen. But here, in the
smallness of our territory and in our insular position,
everything is compact, and may pass readily under view.
It is, perhaps, the chief characteristic of these islands,
and best worth seeing. He who has visited England
and has failed to witness the main processes of her
industry can hardly be said to have become acquainted
with the country at all.

There is no need that we should further dilate upon
the possibilities ranging within the narrow compass of
this Imperial visit. Some people have ominously re¬
marked that the Crimean War followed rather closely
upon the visit of the Emperor Nicholas. In reply it may
be suggested that history seldom or never repeats itself.
The object of the Emperor Alexander in becoming the
guest of England is readily to be conjectured without
ascribing it to any political motive. Few intelligent
people in this country suspect that its purpose lies far
beneath the surface. At present there are no inextricable
diplomatic difficulties between England and Bussia which
ti e presence of the Emperor would be required to dis¬
entangle. The past of his reign should be some guarantee
to us of the future. We do not conceal from ourselves
that there are some delicate questions which it would be
easy to push into dangerous prominence; but the English
people, we think, will all the more heartily welcome the
Oars visit on account of their confident conviction that
tie amenities of family converse in the palace will, to
tome extent, contribute indirectly to the amicable
Mution in the council-chamber of any international
differences that may now exist or may hereafter occur.

THE CZAR’S AREIVAL IN ENGLAND.

On Wednesday morning Gravesend was in a flutter of excite¬
ment ; and the river was gay with picas live-craft and a
squadron of ironclads, assembled to greet his Imperial
Majesty the Czar of Russia, who was expected to land at the
pretty riverside town which received his daughter so warmly
when her Imperial Highness came to England as the bride
of the Duke oi Edinburgh. But the Derjava, with the Czar on
board, ran aground whu9t attempting to leave Flashing late
the previous night. The Dnke oi Edinburgh was at hand in
the Tiinity yacht Galatea ; but the efforts made by the Galatea
and two Dutch steamers to tug the Derjava off the sand-bank
were fruitless. There she Lay all night. When she floated off
next morning, Dover, instead of Gravesend, was chosen for the
landing-place. To Dover, accordingly, the Prince of Wales
proceeded with the Duchess of Edinburgh, Prince Arthur, and
the Duke of Cambridge, in a special train from Charing-cross
terminus, on Wednesday afternoon. Their Royal and Imperial
Highnesses left the Lord Warden Hotel in the train for tlk
landing-stage of the Admiralty Pier as the Imperial yachts*,
with tne Galatea were at last seen nearing Dover.

41 It was pleasant (the Times 1 reporter says) to see, close
to the window of the saloon-carriage, the happy face the
Duchess of Edinburgh, always turned towards the vessel which
was bringing to her those bIic loved best. Her father she
had not seen for three months, and though tho Duke of Edin¬
burgh had scarcely been absent for one round of tho sun, that
was still a long parting; for it was the first since the day when
we had watched her as she Btood by his side before the twin
altars of the Winter Palace. At length tho time came to stand
ready at the water*8 edge, and on the arm of tho Prince of
Wales, and followed by the Duke of Cambridge, Prince Arthur,
and the very gay and numerous English and Russian suites, the
Princess passed round to the landing-place aud went do wn the
crimson-carpeted stairs. When the yacht is still a quarter of a
mile off it is easy to make out who it is that is standing on the
starboard paddlebox. It needs no telescope to discover that ho in
tho grey coat, with sleeves hanging loose, who looks steadily
through his glasses at tho landing-place, so well marked by its
red drapery and by the throng of uniforms picked out in front
by just one lady’s dress, can bo none other than the Emperor.
The Russian naval uniform near him must be worn by the Grand
Duke Alexis, and that is the Duke of Edinburgh upon tho
bridge by Captain Golosotcholl*. As the yacht moved closer
along the breakwater the Czar threw offjiis coat and came alone
to the forward part of the paddlebox. The artist on tho pier
plies his pencil, for this is the moment; but he will never make
a picture so pleasant and touching as tho reality. The evening
gun shone softly, and the Derjava lazily rose and fell
as she surged through the water close by the pier-
side. The Emperor looked tall aud handsome in bis Garter
ribbon and General’s uniform a 3 he stood alono on the
paddle-box—for even the Grand Duke Alexis and the Duke of
Edinburgh had drawn back respectfully—kissing his hand
repeatedly to his daughter, now very close to him, and in¬
clining his head with gestures tenderly affectionate, but still
preserving through all something of the grave and stately
maimer which never leaves him. Then came that tedious time
when the vessel has touched the shore but yet one cannot land.
The Emperor leant over the rail and spoke to the Grand
Duchess. His eyes were full of tears, and his tender affection,
not in the least concealed, and shown in a manner truly noble
and dignified with all its eager earnestness, was touching to see.
Nor did he forget the people who were cheering him so lustily a
few feet oft along the edge of the pier, for lie repeatedly looked
up to the line of their faces, and bowed to them again and again.
Despite all the sailors could do the yacht crushed to pieces
against the pier semo of the rich gold moulding of her paddle-
box ; but at last all was arranged, and tho Royal personages
passed'on board at a quarter to seven. The Emperor embraced
his daughter fondly, and greeted the Princes. The Duke of
Edinburgh, who wore liis Black Sea Commodore’s uniform
and the St. Andrew ribbon, came forward to meet h : s wife,
and, after a short interchange of greetings, the Imperial and
Royal party retired to the Emperor’s saloon. Telegrams
announcing the safe arrival of the Czar wero dispatched to the
Queen and to the Empress of Russia, aud the Emperor came
presently on deck again, when tho Prince of Wales presented
to his Majesty Lord Torrington and the other members of tho
appointed suite.”

Ihc Czar, having received and acknowledged au a hires?
from the Mayor of Dover, then entered the Bpecial train with
the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh. Duke Alexis, and the
English Princes. Windsor station, beautifully decorated for
the occasion, was reached shortly after ten o’clock, when the
Czar was \* doomed to the Royal borough by Prince Christian,

Count Gleichcn, the Marquis of Lome, and the Mayor of
Windsor. The Czar and his party, while the baud played tho
Russian and English National Anthems, entered tho open
carriages sent from the castle by her Majesty. At various
points torches were suddenly lighted as the processiou pissed,
producing a novel and beautiful effect. The carriages were
driven at a walk up the main street and into the Long Walk,
under the George IV. ’a gateway. The Queen, the PrincfW of
Wales, Princess Christian, Princess Louise, and Prihce33
Beatrice received the Czar and Grand Duke at tho Queen’s
entrance. A guard of honour of the 1st battalion Coldstream
Guards was in attendance.

Owing to the late arrival of the Emperor at the castle the
Royal dinner party was considerably delayed. Her Majesty
entertained her illustrious guest in the Oak Room. The ban.I
of the 1st Life Guards was stationed in tho Pavilion Quadrangle,
and it was about midnight before it began to play, aud still Liter
before tho Imperial and Royal guests retired.

On Thursday morning the Emperor, with tho Grand Duke
Alexis, the Duke of Edinburgh, and Prince Arthur, drove out
and visited Frogmore. They afterwards visited tho Albert
Memorial Chapel and SL George’s Chapel, where Sir G. J.
Elvey, the organist, played several sacred pieces of music.
The weather was fine, and in the afternoon the Imperial un>l
Royal party drove through the park to Virgiuia Water.

THE THAMES EMBANKMENT AT CHELSEA.

Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh,
on Saturday afternoon, opened the new portion of tho Thatnas
Embankment aud esplanade, from the gardens of Chelsea
Hospital to Battersea Bridge. We have repeatedly described
and illustrated this useful work of London improvement. It
was begun in August, 1871, by order of the Metropolitan Board
of Works. The contractor, Mr. T.Webster, has executed his
task, at a cost of £134,000. fmm the designs of Bird W
Bazalgette, C.E., engineer to the board, and under the super¬
vision of Mr. John Grant, assistant engineer. With a length
of three-quarters of a mile, the new riverside road has a width
of 70 ft., and is planted with small trees on both sides—apt to
mention the fine old elms of Cheyne-walk. It communicates
with the new Albert Bridge over the river, at the bottqm of
Oakley-street. Beneath Hie road, as in the Victoria Thames
Embankment, from Westminster to Blackfriars, runs the great
low-level sewer, deeply embedded in concrete and earth. The
river front is a granite wall, with a parapet. This completes
the Thames Embankment of the Middlesex shore, four miles
and a half, from Battersea to Blackfriars— all except a quarter
of a mile between Millbank and tho Houses of Parliament,
which belongs to tho Crown, nnd should at once bo flu {shod.
The Emperor of Russia has grand quays on the Neva at St.
Petersburg ; but his Majesty will approve of cur Thames 6u*y s
in London.

The opening ceremony was not attended with much pomp.
At the east end of the new Embankment there was a spa do us
pavilion. Tiers of seats for a thousand persons, rising on one
side, accommodated those invited by the Metropolitan Board.
Opposite were similar benches, for members of the two Houses,
the City Corporation and other public bodies. In the middle
was a narrow platform, with chairs of state for the Royal
visitors. The Scots FuBilier Guards furnished a guard of
honour. The Embankment was lined by three battalions of the
Guards, the Grenadiers, the Coldstreams, and the £>eots
Fusiliers. Outside the pavilion were the 1st Middlesex
(Engineer) Volunteers, the liud Middlesex, and the baud of the
Duke of York’s Military School.

The Royal Duke and liia lloyal and Imperial Duchess came
about half past five. They were accompanied, in the sime
carriage, by tho Earl of Bradford, Master of the Horse, [ Four
preceding carriages brought the Marquis of Hertford, Lord
Chamberlain ; Earl Beauchamp, Lord Steward; tho G'oqutess
of Caledon, Lady in Waiting; Genorat Lord Sfcrathaairn,
Lord Torrington, Lady Mary Butler, Lord Alfred Paget,
and others in attendance. There was an escort of Horse
Guards. The Duke of Edinburgh wore his naval
uniform, with the ribbon and Btar of tho Garter, and
that of tho Russian Order of St. Catherine. Their route
was from Buckingham Palace, through Eaton-sqnaro and
Sloane-square, along King*s-road, which was decorated with,
flags on masts, and Cheyne-walk, likewise made gay, to the
west or further end of the new Embankment, still keeping the
line of streets inside of it. At the Battersea Bridge end their
Royal Highnesses were met by the chairman, Colonel Hog;*,
M. I?., the deputy chairman, and other members of the Metro¬
politan Board, with the engineers anti contractor. They, in
open carriages, led the way for the Royal visitors along tho
Embankment, returning westward to the pavilion at it 3 cast
end. The Right Hon. Mr. Cross, Secretary of State for tho
Home Department, was there in levee dress. The National
Anthem was played, after firing a salute of artillery, when
their Royal Highnesses alighted. Colonel Hogg read au addre 33 ,
to which a reply, prepared by Mr. Cross, was read by the Du V;
of Edinburgh, declaring tlio new Chelsea Embankment to ba
opened. It is proposed to call it tho Alfred Embankment. A
knighthood lias been conferred upon Coloiiel Hogg, now Sir
James Hogg, and likewiee upon the chief engineer, henceforth
Sir J.W. Bazalgette. Ho was tho engineer, both of the Metro¬
politan Main Drainage system and of all the Thames Embank¬

THE CZAR OF RUSSIA.

In honour of the illustrious guest who is welcomed this week
by our Queen and by the nation, we make his Portrait the sub*
fi'ct of our special Engraving. The Emperor or Czar Alexander
Nicholaievitch, Alexander II. of Russia, is flffcy-six years of
ate, having been boro April 20, 1818. He is son of the
Emperor Nicholas, who died March 2, 1855; but his mother
was a daughter of King Frederick William III. of Prussia. Ihe
present Czar, in 1841, married Princess Maine of He3sc,
o an eh ter of Louis II-» (Irand Duke of Hcsso. They have one
daughter—namely, her Royal and Imperial Highness the
Grand Duchess of Edinburgh, born Oct. 17, 1853; and live
so,-.s—namely, the Cosarcvitch Alexander, born in. 1845 ; the
<Jrsnd Duke Vladimir, born 1S47; the Grand Duke Alexis,
boro 1S50; the Grand Duke Sergius, 1357 ; and the Grand
Duke Paul, 1860. The Czar has two sisters : one is the Queen
of Wuitemberg; the other, widow of the Duke of Leuchten-
herg, has married Coimt Sfcroganow. He has three brothers—
the Grand Duke Constantine, an Admiral; the Grand Duke
Nicholas, a General of Engineers ; and the Grand Duke Michael,
a Geueial of Artillery. We cannot here dwell upon the events of
the Emperor’s reign. It is enough to remember his great act of
bent licence, the emancipation of twenty million serfs. In
Europe, too, he has always been a friend of peace.

The Portrait is from a photograph by M. Bcrgamasco, of St.
Petersburg.

A PICTURE OF' THE ASHANTEE WAR.

1 1 may fairly be claimed for the Illustrated London News that
it Las done much to provide, by means of art, for the accurate
avd effective representation of historical events in our own day.
The complete execution of this public service within the scope
of on illustrated weekly newspaper, in the case ,J 0f the late
Asuan tee War, has been generally acknowledged. It3 Specia
Artist performed his task, during several months, with great
fidelity and activity in furnishing the numerous sketches
v. liich were engraved for the earliest possible appearance in
this Journal. But the Proprietors have felt that, with the
opportunity of such materials as they possessed for the artistic
delineation of the subject, a more conspicuous and permanent
work thould be produced. A picture of large size has therefore
1 ecu painted by Mr. Desanges, whose reputation as an artist is
mec-tiated with his treatment of other well-known subjects in
lit it hh military history. The design in this instance was to pre¬
sent a rceneot actual conflict, in which the leading officers of our
f^n'ii}] aimy on the Gold Coast should bo seen engaged, as they
■suit on the last days of January and the first days of February,
in Mich bush-lighting struggles as w on their way to Coomassie.
The 42nd Highlanders, who formed the front line at Ainoatul,
Appear Lereplaced in direct conflict \yiththo hidden foe lurking
lu the dttf.e jungle of the tropical forest. A roof of foliage
ov tilings the entire ground. Sir Garnet Wolseley, accom¬
panied by Colonel Greaves, his Chief of the Staff, stands in the
middle, receiving a report or giving an order. The General has
tat to Mr. Desanges lor his portrait expressly for this work, as
several of ilic other oliieers introduced 'in it have also done.
Colonel Sir John M‘Leod, Colonel Scott, and the late
Major Baird, of the 42nd, appear in the picture; the li9t*
mi ntior.cil officer, who was wounded, is being carried off* the
Held. Among the others are Lord Gifford roaring a few minufces,
after his return from a scouting excursion; and Captaia the
I ten It. Wood. Many figures of the native fighting-men, carriers,
,mh! woodcutters employed on our side, enhance the picturesque
variety cf grouping. hut the British officers and soldiers are
clad in their simple dross of grey tweod, with the suQ-helmefc
which tLey all wore in this campaign. l’he Prince of Wales,
niter ded ly (A Ion el Tccedslc, called at the studio of .Mr.
Dr-ranges to sec the picture last Tuesday.

It is intended to open a public exhibition in a week or two,
of which due announcement will be made. This pictnro will
I e aceexnptnitd by a numerous collection of original sketches,
d i av. n in different parts of the world, during ten or twelve years
past, cr from an earlier date, by the Artists of the Illustrated
London Kars. They comprise a wide range of topics which
have in turn engrossed public attention, and some of which,
by their great social or political importance, will demand
remembrance in future. Scenes and incidents of the most
varied interest, wild landscapes, views of towns or buildings,
and examples of the life of many foreign nations, are included
in the exhibition.

it will further comprise a number of curious articles,
brought home from the Gold Coast by the Special Artist of this
Journal and his friends. Furniture, dress, weapons, and orna¬
ments of the Ashantce nation, some from the palace of King
Coffee Calcallee, are in the collection. There are swords of
•Mate, with cumbrous hilts elaborately carved, and broad blades
cf fciugular patterns ; maces or wands of official dignity ; robes
of ttnpcd cotton cloth; knives, daggers, cups, and spoons ;
liacclel3 and other ornaments of silver or copper; pipes for
tme king tobacco, a household vessel of wood studded with
brass nails, several well-made stools, fetters for the ankles of
a slave, iron pincers for torture ; old flint guns, with belts aud
pouches for ammunition; various trinkets of native metal-work,
and fetish devices carried on the person for good luck. These
miscellaneous things are perhaps worth looking, at while the
Ashantee Mar is fresh in the mind.

r IHE LATE PROFESSOR PHILLIPS, F.R.S.

1 he death of this eminent man of science, as lately mentioned,
was occasioned by a fall on the staircase at All Souls’ College,
Oxford ; but he waB seventy-three years of age. Ho became a
geologist under the guidance of his uncle, Mr. William Smith,
r re of the first founders of English geology. From 1315 to
1324 John Phillips was employed with William Smith in
mapping the strata of England and Wales, and in minutely
noting their structure through twenty Bkires. He appeared as
a lecturer in London while holding the appointment of keeper
cf ihe museum of the Yorkshire Philosophical Society. In
3S33, at York, and in 1832, at Oxford, he took an active part
in 11 c meetings of the British Association. This he continued
to do in subsequent years, as one of the official secretaries,
assisting in the editorship of twenty-five volumes, at least, of
its proceedings. He occupied the chair of geology at Kiug’s
College, London, and in the University of Dublin. Among his
fust known works we may mention his “Guide to Geology,”
his “ Paleozoic Fossils of Cornwall, Devon, and West
Somersetshire,” his “Geology of the Neighbourhood of
Oxford,” his “Memoir of William Smith,” his “Life on fcho
Earth,” and the “Treatise on Geology,” which occupies two
volumes of the well-known cabinet cyclopedia of Dr. Lardner.
He was also tlie contributor of very many geological and other
reitLtificaitichstoatleastthrGeraoatcomprchensivccj'cIopredias,
:Lti he published very useful geological map3 of Yorkshire
ai d ci the British Isles. In 1S5S-9 he held the presidential 1

chair of the Geological Society. When illness forbade Dean
Buck land to continue his geological lectui-es at Oxford, the late
Mr. Strickland was appointed deputy-reader, or professor of
that science, in that University. On his death, twenty years
ago, Professor Phillips succeeded to that office ; and on Hie
demise of Dr. Buckland he succeeded to the vacant chair. He
was learned in physics, astronomy, zoology, aud most of the
nanral sciences.

The Portrait of Professor Phillips is from a photograph by
Messrs. Elliott and Fry.

HURRICANE AT MAURITIUS.

The island colony of Mauritius has been visited by a severe h ur¬
ricane which, commencing on March 26, only terminated on the
3()th. This was at an unusually late period ; and in the very
advanced state of the sugar-canes it is feared that it will prove
most disastrous to the growing crop. Much damage was sus¬
tained by the shipping in the harbour of Port Louis, W’here
many of the principal warehouses and stores wrere unroofed.
On the 28th the French barque Picard was totally wrecked on
the north-east coast. She was from Singapore, with timber
and fifty-four Chinese passengers, of whom three, with two of
the crew r , were drowned. The Chrysolite, from Madagascar,
with bullocks, was, on the same day, wrecked on the sonth-
eaBt coast; the cargo and eleven of the crew were lost. We are
indebted to an eye-witness for a sketch of the harbour of Port
Louis during the storm. In the foreground is a schooner totally
wrecked at her moorings. To the right is the French Messageries
Maritimes mail-steamer Dnpleix, with full steam up to ease her
moorings. Being skilfully handled, this steamer escaped
with trifling damage, although, as represented in the
sketch, she was at one time in danger of being
set adrift, the schooner Sarcelle having drifted across
her bow chain moorings. Next the schooner is the ship
Shannon, belonging to Messrs. Blyth, Greene, aud Co., of
London. She had but two days previous^ arrived from that
port with a valuable cargo. Happily, this vessel rode out tho
stoim well, and sustained no damage. Next the Shannon is
the Glasgow ship Hartfield, which at one time took the ground,
but received only slight injury. Next in the view is seen the
barque B. B. Greene, belonging to tho same owners as the
Shannon. This vessel is seen aground, but she was afterwards
floated off, with but little damage. In the background arc the
mountains which surround the town and harbour of Port Louis.
To the right is the Signal mountain, which is 996 ft. high, and
to the left the mountain known as the Pouce, 2493 ft. high.
To the extreme right is Fort William, at tho entrance of the
harbour.

THE CIVIL WAR IN SPAIN.

A rot or Illustrations, from sketches by oar Artist iu the camp
ufc Somoircstro, appeared in our last publication, showing the
intrenched position of the Carlists near Bilbao, up to the time
of their conquest by Marshal Serrano and Marshal Concha. We
also gave an Illustration of one of the batteries constructed by
the army of the National Spanish Government to attack the
Can ist position at San Pedro de Abanto. The redoubt of San
Candido, at the neighbouring village of Las Carreras, is re¬
presented iu two more sketches, furnished by the same
correspondent.

We are enabled, in the mean time, by the aid of Mr. \Y. IT.
B. Warner, who Las lately been at the Carlist head-quarters in
Nayfliie, to make a page of engraved sketches from that part
pf tfie country. Elizondo, a little town of 1300 inhabitants, is
half way between Bayoimc and Vampeluna, by the middle road,
through the fertile valley of Baztan, amidst lino woods of beech,
oak, and chestnut, with clear trout-streams. There are two
other roads to the south from Bayonne ; one by the sea-eoa3t,
through San Juan de Luz and Hun; the other more easterly,
ovtr the Pyrenees to Roncesvalles, where Charlemagne and
cur Prince Edward Piantagcnet, at distant periods of romantic
hi&toiy, led their armies into Spain. Mr. Warner, being at
Elizondo on the 13th ult., made two sketches of that place.
One is a view of the town, upon the banks of its small river ;
the other shows a battalion of Carlist troops about to enter the
church.

It is but a few miles out of the way to the famous Pas3 of
Boncesvalle8, iu a majestic region of mountains and forests,
ascended on the French side from St. Pied du Port. Every
student of the old legends of chivaliy will associate with this
place the name of Roland, sometimes called Orlaudo, that
Achilles of the middle ages in Western Europe. But, leaving
the road through the Pyrenees, if the traveller goes by the
coast he scon leaches Iron; and this is not far from the
reputed field of a great battle with the Moors, as Milton says,

Where Charlemagne with all his peerage fell.

At FontJtrabui.

The battle, indeed, w as fought in 778, but the great Frankish
Roman Emperor was not killed there. It is also doubtful
whether his nephew Roland, the doughty paladin who blew
such a big blast with the horn, was really slain at RoncesvaUes.
Mr. Warner ’b pencil, however, sets before ua the picturesque
situation of Fuenterrabia (as the Spaniards now spell it), a town
of 3000 persons, on the river Bidassoa, three miles below lrun.
This river, crossed by a railway bridge from the French village
of Hendaye, is the woll-knoWn boundary of Spain. When Mr.
Warner passed there, the bridge was barricaded, and so were
the streets of the neighbouring Spanish towns and villages, as
the Carlists had recently been driven away from them. The
railway had been cut by tho Carlists, and the mode of travelling
from Bayonne wa3 in the diligence, with mules.

The Republican or National Government troops, which
occupied Iron, appear in one sketch, with local volunteers,
forming-their ranks in the square of the Hdtel dc YYlle, to march
out and fight the Carlists. The regular troops are Carabiuiers ;
their uniform is a blue overcoat and blue trousers with red strips
The volunteers wear tho round red Basque cap, very loose red
trousers, and long brown gaiters. The windows of the building
are closed by shutters, with loopholes for musketry, to prepare
for its defence. Another sketch represents the gate at the
entrance to lrun, with soldiers on guard ; the custom-house is
on the right hand. This town, wliich has G'OOU inhabitants, is
the first railway station in Spain. The neighbourhood should
be interesting to an Englishman, not for Charlemagne, but for the
sake of V\ ellington’s performance here in 1813, when ho turned
the French, under SoiUt, fairly out of Spain. Those events
were cited by us on a former occasion. Mr. Ford, in Murray’s
irest entertaining “Handbook,” notes every point of local
history. A recent description of “Biarritz and the Basque
Countries, by Count Henry Russell, is also to bo commended.
Mr. Stanford, at Charing-cross, is tho publisher of this book

Mr. Henry Fowler has been appointed receiver-

(From our Correspondent in Paris.)

Thursday, May lq

The Due de Broglie is evidently a firm believer in the truth of
the old proverb that, if speech is silver, silence is golden, tbt
wimtH fiT Session of the National Assembly, which ha 3 j ait
opened at Versailles, having been inaugurated without th 9
customary Presidential message, to which one was always wout
to look forward during M. Thiers’s sojourn at the helm of the
State. The reason of this is that the situation of the preset
Government has become so precarious that a single adjective
wrongly placed might alone suffice to unite against it both
Bight and Left, and lead to fatal consequences. In such %
dilemma to say nothing was naturally the prudent course v>
adopt. It is only by prolonging the present imbroglio that the
Prime Minister and Ills colleagues can hope for an extension of
their lease of power.

The chief incident of the opening sitting wa3 the reading
of a letter by which M. Piccon, the Separatist deputy
for Nice, resigns his seat. It avas an cquivocally-wordel
document, and was received with silent contempt.

Costa de Beauregard, another deputy for Savoy, however*
ascended the tribune after it had been read, and pro*,
tested in energetic language against the unpatriotic conduct
of his ex-colleague. The Constitutional project of the
Government, which, it is rumoured, will be Laid on the table
to-day, comprises, it is said, some twenty articles, concerning
the passing of only one of which the Cabinet is reported to be
at all anxious. This article regulates the transmission o£
powers in the event of the Marshal MacMahon’s decease pre¬
vious to Nov. 19, 1S80, when the Septennat expires, aud
specifies that in such an event the President of the Upper
Chamber is to assume the executive authority and to convoke
both Chambers without delay. The latter, in [these circum¬
stances, are to sit together as a constitutional congress, appoint
a new’ chief of the State, and determine the nature and extent
of his powers. The other articles of tho project enumerate the
special electors of different categories who are to be intrusted
w ith the choice of the members of the Upper Chamber and the
functions and attributes of this body, which will only differ
from other Upper Chambers in this peculiarity, that it will ba
invested with the right of dissolving Parliament at the request
of, or after consultation with, the Executive Power. The pro¬
ject will be, in all probability’, referred to the same Commisiioa
that recently prepared the new electoral Jaw. It is, of course,
extremely uoubtlul whether it will bo voted, and it is certainly
not of a nature to conciliate the caballere of the Extreme Right.
Apropos of tho latter, it lias transpired that the Marquis do
Lur-Baluce* and M. de La Bouillerie interviewed the Couufc de
Chambord on their behalf during the recess, but that the
Prince declined to entertain any overtures that did not take
for basis the declaration of principles he made last aufcumu.

A terrible fire occurred, last Monday night, in the vicinity
of the Faubourg St. Antoine. Ten largo houses, inhabited
almost exclusively by -workmen and their families, W’ero burnt
to the ground in the course of a few hours, iu spite of all
the efforts of the firemen. Temporary lodgings, however, were
furnished for the victims by the police ; aud on Taesday morn¬
ing the President of the Republic and Madame de Mac Mahon
visited the scene of the calamity, and at once ordered the fitting
up of several soup-kitchens. It is estimated that one huudmt
families have been deprived of shelter by the accident.

Scarcely a week passes in Paris without being signalised by
the arrest of some celebrity of the financial world. Not long
ago M. Collet-Meygret, ex-senator awl a police functionary of
the Second Empire, was imprisoned on various charges ot fraud;
and a few days since M. Troncin Dumeraan, the organiser of
several French industrial exhibitions, and at one time a
secretary of M. Thiers, was arrested for forgery. We now
learn that the director of a well-known Paris gas company has
met with a similar fate, on the charge of swindling the share¬
holders out of no less than £400,000 ; while the son-in-law of a
deputy has been condemned to twenty years' penal servitude
for defrauding a provincial comptoir-d’escompfce of which ha
was manager.

In resuming my remarks on the Paris salon, I may bagin
by alluding to the comparative absence of those vast cauvu3ei
adapted solely to public galleries, which, under the Second
Empire, used wellmgh to line the walls of the so-called “ Salou
d’Hoimeur.” Of the fbw which are exhibited this year, by fa?
tho most important is the rendering, by a Polish artist, ot an
incident in the palmy days of Polish history, when a King of
Poland, of Hungarian origin, could exact the abject submission
of the semi-civilised Czar of Muscovy. Tho subject oi tbu
picture is the reception of the envoys sent by Ivan the Terrible
to Stephen Bathari, encamped with hia army before Pakow.
The Polish King, in picturesque national costume and imparova
as a statue, is seated in his tent, surrounded by his Gene tula
and Ministers, his drawn sword lying across his knees, and a
huge bear’s skin spread beneath his feet, seemingly in differs at
to the offering of bread and ealt which the scared Muscovite
Envoys, down on their knees in tho snow, in all their barbaric
finery, humbly tender him in token of the submission of the
terrible Czar, their master. The Papal Ambassador, iu con¬
sideration of Ivan having promised that he and all his people will
embrace tho Roman Catholic faith, pleads with the Polish King
<5ii their behalf. The subject is treated not so much in accordance
with rigid archaic rules as with a Rubens-like luxuriance of group¬
ing and accessories, with, however, far more individual character
among the various actors iu the scene than the facile Flemish
painter would have considered it necessary to introduce. Tha
artist, M. Matejko of Cracow*, has, unquestionably, produced
a striking work, every figure in which appears to have b-cn
carefully studied, but to wliich tho serious exception can ba
taken that tho theatrical element is too dominant. His pietirs*
in fact, might well pass for the set scene in some hiitoriofl
drama north of the Vistula or the Neva.

.Thu drench salon, for years past, has been indebted for sojw
of its more remarkable w r orks to tho contributions of foreigners
either studying at Paris or else anxious for the approval of the
higher Freueh critical authorities upon their productions ; aud
although since the war half a score of German artists of repate
have ceased sending pictures for exhibition, there arc still no
lack of Continental painters whose works help to vary the
monotony of the national pcncIL This year two remarkable
pictures arc exhibited by a Hungarian artist named
the one entitled “Les Rodeurs de Nuit,” the other “Lo Moat

dashing style, is marred, however, by its extreme depth of
effect, more especially by the uniform blackness of the
shadows. In the companion subject, which apparently repre¬
sents a Parisian mont dc pidtd, the various figures have e vi¬

little exaggeration is shown in grouping together so many dis¬

Bilbao, as toon as it was rel eyed by the Republican forces,
was completely revictuallcd. The Cor lists arc in force on the
ncith sine of the town. Don Carlos has issued a proclamation
escribing the defeat at Somorrostro to treachery. The Carlist
blockade of San Sebastian is maintained, and several battalions
have been sent to Tolosa. A strong division of Republican
troops lias disembarked at .San Sebastian. We hear from
Madrid that in Catalonia the remnants of several Carlist bands
have been dispersed by the Republican troops, both sides
having suffered severely; while, according to a despatch
received by the military representative in London of Don
Carles, the Carlist troops have gained a great victory on the
Casctas road over the Republicans. The latter are said to have
lest SCO prisoners and about 350 in killed and wounded.

HOLLAND.

A kind of political “rilveT wadding” has been celebrated in
Holland; King William HI. lias reigned twenty-five years, and
in honour of the occasion the Hague has been brilliant with
Rcyal banquets and popular fCtes. On Monday the Royal
family passed through the streets, which were gaily decorated
and ihicnged w ith spectators, bywhomthey were enthusiastically
received. Bis Majesty afterwards appeared on the balcony of
(he palace and was loudly cheered, ttpecial ncrvices were held
ut the new church in Amsterdam, on Tuesday, in the presence
cf the King and Queen, to celebrate hia Majesty’s jubilee. A
-canlata was sung by a choru3 of four hundred voices. After¬
wards the King received and repdied to addresses from both
Chambers and from the Mayor. The King, the members of the
Royal family, and the Grand Duke and Duchess of Saxe-
Wcfmar were present on Wednesday night at a gala perform-
r.i ec at the theatre. The Ministers and Diplomatic Body
were also pres tut, rnd much enthusiasm was manifested. The
King haB requested that a national subscription, which was to
he iffered to him as a gift from the people, should be dis¬
tributed among the invalids and veterans of the army. In a

GERMAN V.

The Emperor William has begun his annual regimen at
Wiesbaden. He left Berlin late yesterday week, passing
through Frankfort on the following morning. Here, lie was
heartily cheered. 'Wiesbaden was loyally decorated, aud the
people loudly testified their pleasure at his return. His Majesty
drives out every day, and in the evening visits the theatre. On
Wednesday there was a public drive in hia Majesty’s honour.

In the Lower House of the Prussian Parliament, yesterday
week, the bill supplementing the law upon the training and ap¬
pointment cf the Catholic clergy Was read the second time,
vt ith the addition, of clauses accepted by the Minister of Public
Worship vesting the right of appointment in church patrons or
the general body of the laity; and on Saturday it passed the
"third reading of the bill relativetotheadminiriration of vacant
bishoprics by 25 votes against 95. The House rejected a motion
proposed by Herr Windthorst to refer the bill to a committee.
The bill supplementing the law on the training and appoint¬

The bills regulating the position of the Roman Catholic
Church in Austria and the contributions to be made towards an
ecclesiastical fund for covering the expense of Catholic worship
have received the Imperial sanction.

After having rejected a proposal to constitute cadres of

financial statement, according to which a sum of 42,000,000 fl.
is required in the Budget tor 1574 to meet the uucovercd
expenditure of 1873. Ho asked for authority to issue the
second half of the loan of 153,000,000 fl., and stated that
another loan cf cijual amount would possibly be required. In
order to regulate the financial situation up to 187G, ho proposed
successive tabs ot public property, but the retention of the

INDIA.

The Viceroy’s weekly telegram, dated May 9, reports:—
“ No material change. Further fall of rain has facilitated sow¬
ings. General upward tendency of prices continues. Transport
of grain comjdcte everywhere, except in Eastern Tirhoot and
on the Brahmapootra. Evcrytliiug progressing more favourably
than was anticipated. Total known famine deaths, including
those already reported, twenty-two.”

The Times' correspondent at Calcutta telegraphs -.—“Reports
up to the 9th icet. show that distress i3 spreading in ftouth
Tirhoot and Singhbhoom. Portions of Maunbhoom previously
considered safe require relief urgently. The landless classes
there have consumed their last stocks, and even the seed
grain. Smallpox and cholera arc very frequent. Tlio early
rice is promising in Dinagepore and Purncah, but in Rungpore
it is perishing. In Rajeshaye and Moorsliedabad the land is
panting for rain. The heat is intense.”

A despatch to the Daily A r uw, dated Durbuugah, Tuesday,

reports from the famine districts 134,200 persons are employed
on the relief woiks, 200,000 are receiving charitable relief, and
450,200 are supported by advance or sale3 of grain. Piecework
is being gradually enforced for ablebodied individuals. The
condition of the people generally is better than in February in
consequence of the active measures of relief. Severe distress,
however, occasionally breaks out, requiring constant vigilance
on the part of the authorities, upon whom the natives generally
depend to remedy all deficiencies. The rainfall lias been
generally Lcncficial in North Bebar, although insufficient to

In catalogues of picture exhibitions it often happens that tin
works the least worth while talking about have the longesl
detciiption and quotations appended to their titles. So perhaps
it may be said that, generally, the merit of a picture is it
inverse ratio to the amount of remark that may bo, or at leasi
need be, made about it. Tlio original of our Illustration is {
case in point; the pictur e is a good one, and the pencil am
graver have done their task too well to require aid from th(

coast—that favourite haunt ol so many of M. Vorvier’s com

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS

SKETCHES IN PAKLIAMENT.

Everyone knows what a horror the House of Commons, as a
body and in the abstract, has of corrupt practices at elections,
hut that nevertheless somehow after every election there is a
good deal of “ that same” to be inquired into. It was in the
most exalted virtuous mood that the House one evening lately
discussed the propriety of punishing peccant constituencies ^by
suspending writs for certain boroughs which had been reported
by election Judges as indulging in eccentricities with regard
to voting. A legal member—to wit, Mr. 0. E. Lewis
brought on a motion against Stroud, hitherto considered sans
rcproche, which, though asking for the suspension of the writ
for a short timo, evidently had an ulterior object namely, that
of the issue of a Commission of Inquiry. It cannot be said
that the proposal was received with favour ; but it produced a
delicious complication of opinion amongst tlie lawyer members.
Arguing by the card, Sir Henry James showed that, having
detect* d, he sought to block, Mr. Lewis’s intentions by a
technical interpretation of a statute. It was with immense
glee and chuckling that Mr. Staveloy Hill, having for onco dis¬
covered a point, launched it at the ex- Attorney-General; while
Mr. Forsyth, who intervenes in every discussion, happily with
brevity, was caught in a legal mesh by Sir Vernon Harcourt,
and touzled considerably. In the upshot, good opportunity
was afforded to Mr. Disraeli, in his naif solemn, half mock¬
ing way, to twit the “gentlemen of the long robe,” as barrister
members are Parliamentarily designated, with their perhaps
not uncommon divergence of opinion.

First appearances in debate this Session are always more or
lees noticeable, and something may be here said oi one or two.
A discussion on the dwellings of the working classes in London
was an appropiate occasion for Sir Sidney Waterlow to make
his debut. It is well known that no man ha3 a better right,
both from an experienced and a benevolent point of view, to
speak on this subject than ho. But those who did not happoa
to hear him speechify when he was Lord Mayor were not awarr
that as a speaker he is an elocutionist, not in the declamatory
sense of that word, but because of the clearness, neatness, and
balnuce of his sentences, the easy flow of his utterance, an l
the earnestness, combined with calmness, of liis demeanour.
The new member for Buckingham, Mr. Egerfcon Hubbard, has
made his first essay, and, though he was quiet and unpreten¬
tious, in a certain sense he may nave been said to liavo been in
the clouds- that is, his subject was meteorology—and therefore
to the greatest number of his audience he was nebulous. The
neophyte Irish members are coming out in fair numbers. The
latest first appearance has been Mr. Richard Smyth, of London¬
derry, who is a sympathiser with Sir Wilfrid Lawson, and
would deal with intemperance after the manner of that
quasi-philanthropist. lie wants to begin with shutting up
all di inkiug-houses in Ireland on Sundays. Hi3 speech
was very good, and amusing, owing to the peculiar way
in v hicli he dealt with his subject aud bis unintentionally
droll way of putting his points. It was difficult to under¬
stand at times whether he was a hater of liquor or L not;
and of a surety lie spoke of the national drink of Ireland
with tenderness and even affection—in the abstract, of
course. Farenthetically, it may bo said here that the magni¬
ficent Major Purcell O’Gorman has exhibited himself a3 a
humourist in a novel and artistic way, for he may be said to
have executed a practical joke. It was in this wise. He had
on the paper a question which was worded slightly after the
maimer oi his speaking style. When he was called, most of
the members put themselves into the easiest attitudes for
bursting with laughter; some w’ere on the grin, and one or
two, more enthusiastic than the rest, actually laughed out
before M r. O’Gorman opened his lips. He, however, in a low
voice, merely referred the Minister whom he was to interrogate
to the question ho had on the paper, without reading it in
terms—by • the - way, a bad custom which is on the increase, as
it renders necessary the reading and the giving the answer
together by the official whore duty it is to reply. There was
manifest disappointment—so overt that Sir Michael Hicks-
Beach, who was to respond, chimed in with the humour of the
House, and requested Mr. O’Gorman to read out his question.
He, doubtless chuckling at the mortification of the gaping crowd
that was awaiting the tickling which was expected, gabbled
over the interpellation in the most common-place manner—thu 3 ,
to use a slangy but expressive word, “selling 99 the audience.

It is believed that we have had the very last debate on the
state cf the Navy, and that was vivacious and nearly hot. In
some respects there was a sameness in its character, for the
disputants were the same; and there was a touch of the
tovjours p&rdrix in listening to Sir John Hay (though he was
and gentle) and Admiral Elliot, and even Mr.
L. J. Reed, while as to Mr. Samuda's speaking, nepenthe is
nothing to its somnolent effect; and though Mr. Ward Hunt
was still burly and assertive in pessimist opinion as to the con¬
dition of the fleet, he was perhaps a trille subdued in liis
manner. But a new disputatious element was introduced by
Sir V croon Harcourt, who, not having the fear of being called
a “sea livwyer,” which is a peculiar nautical expression that is
not exactly applicable to him, ran the risk of being designated
a “ lawyer at sea,” which might have fitted him if he had not
received so good a brief, and got it up with such care and
assiduity. As it was, he infused into his speech so much of his
biting humour, which almost seems to be modelled on that of
-Uephistopheles, and was so ingenious in doing that which was
set him to do—namely, to vindicate the naval administration
of the late Government—ihat he lifted the discussion out of
the region of wearisome repetition.

Possibly because there is a by no means mysterious affinity
between beer and corrupt electoral practices, the House
mustered strongly for the second reading of the Intoxicating
Liquc-rs Bill of the Government, and it was notable that, with
a natural desire to witness the vivisection of his own Licensin-r
Act which was imminent. Lord Aberdaro looked down on the
proceedings from the calm region of tho Peers’ Gallery. It was
111 ? hoanerges vein that Mr. Molly argued his amendment,
which w’ent to the retaining of the status quo in liquor legisla¬
tion, and very noisy he was. If it had been predestined that
lie was to have any imitators, happily such an iuiliction was
checked by the early advent of Sir H. Selwin-Ibbctson, who
w ill godow n to a grateful posterity as ono who brought pro¬
found statesmanship successfully to bear upon becr-houscs,
with an intimation that on the crucial question involved the
Government w ould throw their bill on the table, to bo hacked
and hewed according to the fancy of the House. Tho discus¬
sion, if not exactly paralysed, lost most of its reality. To bo
snre, some speeches that had been prepared were duty let oft*.
Thus Mr. Forsyth, with a bearing proud in proportion to the
distinction which lie had achieved, announced, as a pleni¬
potentiary from the publicans of Marylebone, that they held
to the “ Brucc-aysteni ” as regarded hours of closing their
temples dedicated to Bacchus. As may be supposed, thi 3
declaration produced a profound impression, and for a time
Mr. Forsyth was the hero of a sensation. Then Sir Vernon
Hareouit, in his Parliamentary character of a “man most
various.” indulged in that terrible jocoseness of his w'htch
suggests ideas on a large scale of the cruel sport of a cat with

the victim within its claws ; and Mr. Osborne Morgan, who
seems to be an especial bete noire of the Conservatives, had to
deliver a speech carefully compounded of declamation, tropes,
aud would-be comic illustrations, amidst the mo3t pitiless
pelting of jeers, groans, and irritating ejaculations that ever
member had to encounter. Besides, he had to bear tho solid
quizzing of Mr. Locke, amidst the rapturous cacchinations of
the boisterous Ministerialists.

It has been observable that Mr. Disraeli, possibly by design,
is careful to avoid a Parliamentary error of his predecessoriniiis
high office, that of intervening and making passionate speockes
on every subject, like the elephant despising not the picking of
pins when it has no gigantic trees to tear down. The Prime
Minister, until this w'eek, had only made one speech proper
during this Session ; but he - thought the Household Suffrage
(counties) Bill worthy T of his intervention, and was delivered of
an address which was effective in itself, and was accepted
besides for its rarity.

PAKLIAMENTAKY SULIMARY.

HOUSE of loads.

Yesterday week Lord Redesdale introduced a resolution aimed
against the practice of applying to Parliament for power to
make short lines of railway for the development of privato pro¬
perty. Some conversation took plaoe on the subject of the
boundaries of Afghanistan and of Ritualism in tho Church of
England. The Game Birds (Ireland) Bill was passed.

The Duke of Richmond, on Monday, announced that the
Whitsuntide recess will extend from the 22nd inst. to June 2.
The second reading of the Public Worship Regulation Bill was
moved by tho Archbishop of Canterbury. It was supported by
the Archbishop of York,' Lord Sliaftesbury, the Bishop of
Peterborough, tho Duke of Marlbrough, and several other
Peers, A full and ample discussion ensued, and eventually
the bill was read the second time.

Lord Carnarvon, on Tuesday, made the promised statement
of the Government’s policy in relation to the Gold Coast,
which was, in substance, that England should retain her pos¬
sessions there and cultivate a policy of alliance with Aahautes.
The Boundaries of Archdeaconries and Rural Deaneries Bill,
the Colonial Clergy Bill, the Betting Bill, and the Consolidated
Fund (£13,000,000) Bill were passed through Committee; and

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

A new writ was issued, yesterday week, for the election of
two new members for Stroud, notwithstanding an effort made
to .suspend it. The condition of the dwellings of working
people in Loudon was the subject of an important discussion,
a remedial bill being proposed by the Government; aud the
prohibition of the sale oi liquors on Sunday in Ireland was
brought forward by menus of an abstract motion, which, in the
end, was rejected by 210 votes against 1L0.

It was stated by Mr. Disraeli, on Monday, that he could
not add a grant to the pension of £200 a year already assigned
to the children of Dr. Livingstone, but he would consider the
claims of some other relatives. There were a great many
petitions on tho licensing Bill, the majority of them boing
against any change of the system under the present Act. When
tne second reading was called Mr. Molly moved an amendment*
which w ould have negatived the measure ; but, after consider¬
able discussion, Mr. Meliy withdrew his amendment, aud the
hill w as (read the second time.

Tho business on Tuesday was of limited interest. It was
announced by Mr. Cross that the Committee on tho Licensing
Bill would not be taken until the Thursday after tho Whitauu-
tidc recess. The subjects discussed were the exemptions of the
law officers of tho Crown from the Constitutional rule which
insists on members of Parliament vacating their seats on taking
office; the relative salaries of the officers of the Lords aud
Commons ; the case of an Irish Ribbonman imprisoned under
a summary warrant ; and Mr. Whalley’s committal for contempt
of court, which last subject was cut short by a count-out.

The House was occupied at its afternoon sitting on Wednes¬
day with a debate on the Household Franchise in Couuties
Bill, introduced by Mr. Trevelyan. The second reading was
negatived by 267 to 173 votes. The Working Men’s Dwelling
Bill was read the second time, aud the Innkeepers’ Liability
Bill was tallied out.

On Thursday tho Customs and Inland Revenue Bill was
read the second time. The Registration of Births and Deaths
Bill was read tho second time, upon an undertaking given by
Mr. Selatcr-Booth that he would assent to certain alterations
when the bill w as in Committee, which were intended to meet
the objections made by Dr. Lj’on Playfair. The Juries Bill
was then considered in Committee, and occupied the attention
of the members for nearly the remainder of the sitting.

The Select Committee on the Metropolitan Building Aits

chairman. The Committee are to meet on Tuesday next to
proceed with the measure.

MAY MEETINGS.

Chief among tho meetings of societies for religious aud
benevolent purposes recently held are the following :—

Lord Aberdeen presided, on Thursday week, at the annual
meeting of the London City Mission. The report showed
that 427 missionaries had been employed during the year—
an increase of t n on the year preceding. The number wa 3
wrongly given n* 147 last week. Both the legacies and the sub¬
scriptions received during the year w r ere in excess of previous
incomes from such sources. The meeting was addressed by
the Rev. Wm. Curling, and resolutions in furtherance of the
objects of the mission were put and carried.

The anniversary meeting of the Sunday School Union was
held the same day, in Exeter Hall—Mr. S. Morley, M.P., pre¬
siding. The report stated that the total of metropolitan and
provincial auxiliary schools was 4075, representing 96,743
teachers aud S47,185 scholars. This extension had been
going on year by year, and the number of teachers and scholars
had more than doubled since the census of 1851. Among the
speakers were the Rev. Paxton Hood, the Rev. Mark Pearce,
Mr. M‘Arthur, M.P., and Pastor Tenvi, of Sweden.

The annual meeting of the Church Pastoral Aid Society
was held the same afternoon, at St. James’s Hall—the Earl of
Shaftesbury occupying tho chair. The report and financial
statement, which were, read by Mr. Speck, the lion, secretary,
showed the total receipts of the past year as £58,955, aud the
expenditure as £49,G56. The total increase in the receipts as
compared with last year were £10,555. During the past year
seventeen grants had become vacant, and 105 new grants had
been made. The existing grants are 577 to clergymen, and 221
to lay assistants. To sustain these an income of £64,644 is
required. The receipts included £4000 from the four son 3 of
the late Mr. Wright, of Derby, in memory of their father, who
had also been a most liberal supporter of this society. The
Bishop of St. Asaph, the Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol, the
noble chairman, and others, addressed the meeting.

The general annual Wesleyan missionary meeting was hold
in Exeter Hall—Mr. Henry Mitchell, of Bradford, being in the
chair. The report stated that the receipts for the year were
£107,995 (the largest annual amount ever raised by the sooiety),
and the payments £166,458. The report spoke of the opera¬
tions of the society and referred to losses sustained through the

death of friends.- The annual meeting on behalf of the

Wesleyan home missions was held in the City-road Chapel, the
chair being taken by Mr. W. S. Allen, M.P. The financial
report read by the treasurer, tho Rev. J. W. Greeves, stated
that in ISnfi, when tho fund was reorganised, the income
amounted to £11,000, while it now amounts to £30,099. Tnere
is, however, a debt of £9000.

Fail Russell took the chair, on Monday, at the annual
meeting of tho British and Foreign School Society, md in his
address argued strongly in favour of religions teaching in
schools. Sir. Forster, who also spoke, held that denomina¬
tional teaching had but little effect in making children theo¬
logians and controversialists, but that tho primary principles
which were instilled into their minds were love to God and
duty to one's neighbour. Dean Stanley paid a tribute to th8
services of Lord Russell in connection with education ; and the
n.ecting was subsequently addressed by Earl Fortes :uo, the
Earl of Chichester, Lord*Abcrdare, Sir T. Foweli Buxton, and
others. r l ho report stated that the work of the society had
been considerable curing the past year, bat that the injome
did not keep pace with the expenditure.

The annual meeting of the Colonial and Continental Church.
Society was held on Monday, at St. James’s HaU, under the
presidency of tho Marquis of Chohnonddey. The Rev. Mr.
White read the report detailing the work of the society daring
the year on the Continent and in the colonies, which had b^en
of a more successful and satisfactory character than usual.
The total income for the year from all sources had been
£35,238, showing an increase of £4222 over the preceding year.
The chairman, the Bishop of Goulburn, the Bishop Suffragan
of Guildford, aud others, addressed the meeting.

The anniversary of tho distribution of scholars* prizes to the
Ragged School Union took place at Exeter Hall on Monday
night—SirR. W. Carden in the chair—when a choir was formed
of 6G0 young people now in service receiving prizes, and
addresses wero delivered by the chairman, Bishop Ryan, the
Rev. George Pearse(who addressed the children), and the Kav.
William C'adman, M.A. The boys and girls taking prizes were
from sixty-four achools in Loudon aud its suburbs. The Earl
of Shaftesbury, who arrived at a lato period in the evening,
was received with great cheering, and closed the proceedings
with a characteristic address.

The anniversary festival of the Royal Free Hospital was
held, on Monday evening, at tho Freemasons’ Tavern, under
tho presidency of the Lord Mayor. Tho secretary announced
subscriptions amounting to about £2675, including a fifth
donation of £1000 from “ D.G.”

The Society for the Suppression of Mendicity held its anni¬
versary meeting on Monday. According to the report, which
was adoped, the number of metropolitan paupers decreased
during the past year from 109,$51 to 105,795. The number
of applicants relieved by the society’s tickets was 6633, being
445 more than were relieved the year before. By the aid <3
the society 586 vagrants have been apprehended, of whom 374
were committed to prison, the others being discharged with a
caution. Twenty-two well-known impostors also had been
sentenced to various terms of imprisonment.

The anniversary meeting of tho Railway Benevoleut Institu¬

NATIONAL SPORTS.

The result of tho race for the Guineas still leaves the Derby a
very open question. Atlantic did not boat Reverberation easily
enough to make it a certainty that their positions will not be
reversed at Epsom; and, with the exception of Ecossais, there
was nothing much behind them. The last-named has since
become very lame in one of his hind legs, and, as he is only
half fit, the necessary stoppage in his work must prove fatal to
any little chance he may have possessed. Of the remainder,
Spectator is not engaged in the great event, and wc are scarcely
likely to hear much more of such very “rough outsiders” as
’Whitehall, Boecobel, Vincent, Trent, Lacy, and Dukedom,
albeit Boscobel is said to be susceptible of great improvement,
all of which he will thoroughly need, as lie was beaten
some twenty lengths from the winner. Then Mr. Merry s
quartet does not give much promise of another Doncaster
coup ; indeed, we believe w r c aro right in saying that that
genth man 1ms not a good three-year-old in his stable; and we
are getting a little tired of the “ only half-trained ” excuse for
George Frederick, which w o fully expect to hear again after
the Derby. Feu d’Am our, who ou his two-year-old form
would possess a wonderful chance, is suffering from cracked
heels ; while it is fairly argued that the undefeated Novateur
has “beaten nothing.” Couronne de Fer, ou the strength of
some good two-mile gallops, has returned to something like his
old price in the betting; hut Mr. Padwick and Matthew
Dawson are scarcely the men to sell a Derby w*inner out of the
stable. Then, despite Tipster’s defeat of Atlantic at York, his
two-year-old form Will not bear a thorough investigation ; aud as
a second trial is said to prove Aquilo to be slightly superior to the
Two Thousand 'winner, the prophets will have a more difficult
task than usual this year.

The racing on the Thursday and Friday at Newmarket wa3
not so good as on the earlier days ; still tnero wero some very
interesting events. Minister and Peeping Tom met at level
weights in a sweepstakes over the R.M.*, and the easy defeat of
thc°latter fully confirmed the City and Suburban form. The
First Spring Two-Year Old Stakes brought out a field of nine¬
teen, and introduced us to about the best youngster that ha3
been seen in public during the present season. This wa3
Chaplet, a filly by Beadsman— Madame Eglantine, and there¬
fore own sister to such celebrities as Tho Palmer, Morna, and
Roeicrucian. She was bought for Lord Hartingfcon, at Sir
Joseph Hawley’s sale, for 1700gs. ; aud at the same time
Madame Eglantine, with an own sister to Chaplet at her foot,
was taken by the Stud Company for 10UOg3.—a remarkably
cheap purchase, as, if she has done well, the Lilly alone will fetch
more than that sum at the next sale. In the race in question Lady¬
love was made favourite ; but Chaplet beat her in a canter by
four lengths, and would doubtless prove a worthy antagonist to
the speedy Cachmere. The accident to Ecossais left George
Frederick to win the Newmarket Stakes; but, as ho had only the
wtetched Beggannau to beat, the performance makes hi3 Blue
Ribbon prospects neither better nor worse tlianbofore. Lady Rose¬
bery ran very badly over tliel&sth&lf of the R. M.; and we fancy that
the is a little deficient in speed, and requires a longer distance
to show to advantage. The One Thousand Guineas was nob a
particularly interesting race, for only nine came to tho post,
and it was generally regarded iua a mere match between Li
Courcuse and Apology, the latter of whom, has dono so well
since last season that she was firmly established as favourite
before the fall of the Hag. The talent proved perfectly correct
in their selections, for La Courcuse, after malting the whole of
the running, was caught by Apology, and suffered a clover half-
length defeat. As Mr. Launch's filly stays so well, and, like
her half-sister Agility, appears of a very improving sort, she is
sure to run well in the Oaks ; but Miss Toto has always been
much superior to La Courcuse, and therefore M. Lefovre has a
capital chance of avenging liis One Thousand defeat. Mr.
Merry's stable appears quite out of form, and Lady Bofchweli,
a good two-year*old performer, was beaten off last. Two very
unusual circumstances occurred during the week. A match was
made over the yearling course, which is only about a quarter
of a mile in length ; and, in another match, Fairy Form carried
only 5 at. 3 lb., w hich is 41b. less than the lowest weight recog¬
nised in racing.

For some seasons past the Chester Cup has been gradually
losing its position as one of the principal spring handicaps, aud
last year there was scarcely any betting upon it until within a
few days of its decision. We arc glad to see that a reaction
seems to have taken place, and for w r eek s past a long list of
quotations has regularly appeared. The racing on the first day
was uncommonly good; but, though tho weather was all that
could be wished, the attendance ot spectators was smaller than
usual. Oxonian found the mile and a quarter in the Grosvcnor
Stakes a little too far for him, and sustained a clever defeat
from Encore ; and tho victory' of the Miss Hawthorn colt in the
Belgravc Cup put the friends of Organist in high featkor, as ho
gave the “nameless one” 1Glb. and an easy beating a few
weeks ago. The two-year-old racing was also very interesting.
Tho Mcstyn Stakes was won by Telescope, who just caught
The Fakenhsm Ghost in the last few strides. The former i3 by
Speculum—Remembrance, and is therefore an own brother to
that very speedy filly Memoria ; while The Fakenliam Ghost is
an admiiablo specimen of Mr. Somerville’s clever nomen¬
clature, being by Suffolk—Fiction. Bonny Blue Eye, who
won the A"ale Royal Stakes, is another very highly-con¬
nected lady, as she is by Lord Clifden—Bonny Blink,
and therefore own sister to Huwthomden, w T ho won the
St. Lcger in 1870. The same filly commenced pro¬
ceedings on Wednesday' by winning another race; and,
having noted that Zanzibar’s Derby chance w as completely ex¬
tinguished by his miserable exhibition in the Sixth Beaufort
Biennial, we may pass on to the Chester Cap. Despite his
knack of breaking blood-vessels, The Preacher (7 st. 91b.)
started first favourite ; but the open character of the race may
be imagined from the fact that ten horses were backed at; 14 to
1 and under. Before they passed the Stand the second time
the favourite dropped away, having burst another blood-vessel,
“his custom always of an afternoon,” and soon afterwards
Cingalina (7 st. 8 lb.) also fell back, having been a good deal cut
about in getting round some of the turns. Five luriongs from
home linpdorer (G st. 8 lb.) was beaten ; aud Mont Yalericn led
into the straight. In a few strides further, however, Organist
(G st. Gib.) dashed past him aud, quickly* disposing of
Leoliuus (5 at. 9 lb.), won easily by two lengths. Bertram
(8 st. 2 lb.) finished the same distance behind Leolinus. The
Colonel (7 st. 12 lb.) found the distance much too far for him,
and Sultim&n (7 st. 11 lb.) and lmplorer (6 st. 8 lb ) also ran
very badly. We had almost omitted to mention that, in tho
Dee Stand Welter Cup, Aragon and Bras dc Fer fell heavily',
but Bruokshaw* and J. Osborne, who rode them, happily escaped
any serious injures.

For ecme little time past it has been apparent that Cook lias
not been playing billiards at all in his usual grand style, and
this was fully confirmed by the hollow defeat he received
from T. Taylor on Friday week. The match, which took place
at the Guildhall Tavern, was 1000 up, and the champion attempted
to concede the very long start ot 300 points. Taylor at once
got away w ith contributions of 45, 59, and 45, and reached 554

to 64 ; and from this point the game proceeded very evenly,
the younger player winding up with two grand all-round breaks
of 75 and 4$, and winning by exactly half the game, after two
hours’ play. There is no question that Taylor had far too
much start; hut, at tho same time, we never saw him play so
well. He never hesitated to go for a difficult shot if there was
a good game left on; yet, from first to last, ho showed the
greatest generalship and caution, aud gave many judicious
misses even when it appeared impossible that he could lo3e.
The" red ball w as a very bad one, seldom running truly, aud
this appeared to demoralise Cook ; but a rest from his incessant
travelling about the country to play exhibition matches will
doubtless restore him to liis very best form.

THE MISSION TO YAEIQJND.

The remote and secluded country of Eastern Turkestan, con¬
sisting of the provinces of Yarkund aud Kashgar, has lately
been put in diplomatic communication with the British Indian
Government. The mission of Air. T. Douglas Forsyth, C.B.,
to the present ruler of those Mohammedan States, Yakoob
Khan, who lias lately obtained the higher title of Amocr instead
of Atalik Ghazeh, is of some political and commercial import¬
ance. The provinces now* visited by a British Envoy were,
until come ten or tw’elve years ago, part of the vast Chinese
empire, from which, indeed, they are separated by vast deserts.
They are situated in tho very centro of Asia, and surrounded
on three sides—north, west, and south—by unbroken ranges of
mountains; some of the highest in the w'orld. These are the
Tliian 8han, or Celestial Mountains, which separate Eastern
Turkestan from Siberia ; the Bolor Dagh and Pamir table-lan d,
to the west, shutting it up from the plains of the Oxus and
Jaxartes (Amoo and Syr Daria) ; and tho ranges of the Kara¬
korum and Kuen-Lui, outer ramparts of tho Himalayas,
dividing Yarkund from Thibet and the valley of the Upper
Indus, beyond Cashmere. Tho rivers of Yarkund and
Kashgar fiow eastward in the direction of China, but
are lost in lakes of the desert. In ancient times—that is
to say, from the fifth to the fifteenth century of the Christian
era—there was much commerce with this part of the world. Tho
population, reckoned to be several millions, have attained a
iair degree of Oriental civilisation. It is hoped that British
manufactures aud Indian products may be introduced to
compete w r ifch those scut by Russian traders from Khokand.
Air. Forsyth, Mr. Shaw r , and Dr. G. Henderson, three or
four years ago, made their way into Eastern Turkestan,
then but little known, and friendly messages wero exchanged
between Yakoob Khan and our Indian Government. The
special Embassy now iu that country, sent by Lord North¬
brook last autumn, reached Yarkund on Nov. 8, and went ou
to Kashgar on the 20th. We w'ere furnished by one of its
members—Captain E. U. Chapman, R.A.—with some good
sketches of the mountain country over which they travelled,
from Lull, in La dak or Middle Thibet, up the Shy ok valley, tho
stupendous glaciers of that region, and the Karakorum Pass, at
a height of 18,1)00 feet. Several other of his sketches, from
Cashmere, from Leh, from the Alpine road beyond, and from
the city of Yarkund and Ynnghi kkalir, are presented in this
week’s paper. The current May number of Macmillan*&
Magazine contains a description by Captain Chapman of the
city bazaar at Yarkund, which our readers will like to peruse.

Kashmere or Cashmere, the Iudian province v T hich adjoins
the Punjaub to the north, has often been described, with its
capital, Srinuggur, on tho Jhelmn river. The situation of that
tow n, once populous and wealthy, is exceedingly picturesque.
Our view ot it is from a photograph. It stands amidst several
waters—the winding river, the ancient canals, and a lake two
or three miles broad, with steep hills or cliffs around it, aud
with the mountains in the distance. The old houses on tho
river banks, though ruinous, have a quaintly engaging aspect.
Their sloping roofs of bark are covered with earth, in which
tufts of giaes, weeds, and wild flowers grow abundantly. Tho
projecting balconies and latticed windows show beautiful wood-
carving. The province, ruled by a Alaharajali feudatory to the
British Indian empire, is said to be very badly governed. But
the Alaharajah did his best to help this expedition.

Ladak, the country east of Cashmere, is the upper valley of
the gTeat river Indue, but is a portion of Thibet, inhabited by
Alcngolians, who profess the Buddhist religion of the Lamas.
The climate is intensely dry and cold, from the immense ele¬
vation of the country, which is a mere niche amongst the lofty
mountains. Captain Chapman sends photographs of the
palace, of the Lainas’ monastery at Hemis, and of the bazaar
m the town of Leh. AVe gave, some two or three mouths
since, an Illustration of a Buddhist festival masquerade in tho
monastery of Hemis, not far from Leh.

The route from Leh to Yarkund, which Air. Forsyth and
his companions travelled in October, w f as described in our
former notices of this subject. It is tremendously difficult and
toilsome. AVc. cannot believe that it will ever be made con¬
venient for ordinary traffic. One of the views here giveu shows
the party at breakfast in the iSaaser Pass, 17,000 ft. above the
sea level. Their w ay for eighteen miles lay through glaciers to
w hich those of {Sw itzerland aro nothing. Hi some places there
was danger from the deep crevasses hidden beneath, soft fresh
snow’. But the travellers got over this pass without any disaster,
using yaks or Thibet oxen instead of horses or mules. They
were glad of a hot breakfast in that bleak place, after so muck
fatigue.

Besides the tent in which they lodged at each day’s encamp¬
ment, they had the akoe of their Kirghiz followers, in which
the gentlemen would sit to smoko a quiet pipe, after dinner or
supper. This akoc, mentioned on a previous occasion, is some¬
thing between a tent and a hut. It is round, with a low domed
roof, having a hole at top for tho chimney. The wall is of
willow wands, so interlaced that they can bo opened as wicker-
framework or folded together for carriage. The roof is of long
rods, which are laid upon the top of the wall, meeting a hoop
in the middle above. The whole is covered with thick white
felt. It is portable, easily set up, and a comfortable shelter.
Two yaks conveyed it on the road; it was erected in ton minutes,
and a dozen persons could find room in it, reclining on carpet 3
and cushions. A hole dug in the ground, beneath the central
opening in the roof, was the fireplace to warm the dwelling.

Yarkund; the commercial capital of the Eastern Turkestan
CGuntvy, is situated in lat. N. 38 deg. 25 min., long. E. 77 deg.
12 min,, and on giound 3800ft. above tho sea. It is probable
that this ancient city lias not been much changed since the time
of Alarco Polo, five centuries aud a half ago. It is built
entirely of mud, and is surrounded by a mud wall from 25 ft.
to 30 ft. high, in which arc five gateways. Fifty small bastions
provide Hanking defence along an extent of three miles and a
half in circuit. The population has been variously estimated at
frem 35, COO upwards ; it probably averages some 40,000. Here
it is that the merchant from India, bringing bales of British
manufactured goods, avould encounter the competition of
Russian trade. Chintzes and cotton cloths from Manchester
and Aloscow arc exposed in the same stalls ; silk traders from,
the Punjaub fraternise with Nogai dealers from Tashkcnd.

business transactions are arranged* Lirgs
quantities of silks, manufactured at Klioten, iind
a sale here with leather articles of local manu¬
facture, furs and wadded garments suitable to
a severo climate. The water supply of the
city is entirely furnished by canals from the
Yarkund river, and is stored in tanks. The
city has thirty-six endowed^ schools, which
have been improperly dignified^ a3 colleges,
but the standard of learning is low. Each
of these may boast some twenty-live resident
scholars, few of whom, indeed, will have
advanced beyond a knowledge of reading aud
writing. The mimber of learned mollabs 13 very
small. There are about 120 places of prayer,
similarly honoured with the name of mosque.

To the west of the city of Yarkund lies the
Yangi-Shahr, or “new city.” This, in the
time of the Chinese as now, was occupied by
the conquering race. It is a fortified rect¬
angle, its sides facing the four points of the
compass. These are respectively 700 yards
and 800 yards long. When this citadel was
last captured, the Chinese in possession, so
soon as the Tungarees had made a practicable
breach by mining, blew up the fortress aud
perished in its llames. Captain Chapman’s
sketch is of the street outside the building
where the British Envoy and his companions
were lodged. One thing here to be noticed is
the Chinese two-wheeled covered cart, drawn
by four ponies. The way in which the ponie3
are harnessed, one in the shafts, with three
others abreast in front, is worthy of remark.

A method has been proposed of preventing

There was a crowded meeting of tho Royal
Geographical Society on Monday night, to hear
•Sir Garnet Wolseley, Sir John Glover, aud
others speak on some of tho features of tho
Asliantee War, and of the country and climate
of the Gold Coast. Sir Bar tie Frere presided.
Sir John Glover spoke briefly on the mturo
of the climate and the country through which
he had marched, on the great superiority of the
women to the men, the difficulty of tho supply
question, and other subjects. He also spoke
in terms of praise of the labours of the Basle
missionaries, to whose teaching and influence
(he said) he owed the presence of ono hundred
Christian allies, who by their steadiness and
good conduct contributed materially to h:3 suc¬
cess. Sir Garnet Wolseley said he behoved
that the result of the Late war would be to
open lip the interior of Africa as it had never
been opened before, and to give a free passage
to any explorer now to go wherever he pleased.
When he and his army landed at Cape Coa 3 t
the name of England was hold in little account
in the land; but now, he believed, it stood
higher than it had ever stood before. Ha be¬
lieved that the burning of Cooinossie and con¬
sequent break up of the Ashantco kingdom
would put a stop to the practice of huoiiu sacri¬
fices, which, before the English had taken over
the Protectorate, had been as common near
Cape Coast »3 in Ashantee. The latest news
■was that the King of Ashantee had sent down
one of his sons to be educated at the Coast, and
had promised to do all in his power to put down
the sacrifices. In conclusion, Sir Garnet said
he considered that the only way to stop all
internal warfare, and by that means suppress
the practice of slavery, from which that war¬
fare rose, was entirely to prohibit the importa¬
tion of arms and ammunition into the We3fc
Coast of Africa. Captain Fremantle and Mr.
Hutchmson also spoke,

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS

MAY 16 , I874

THE MULE AND DONKEY SHOW.

Tho Crystal Palace entertains and exhibits a variety of distin¬
guished visitors. If that foolish city officer, Dogberry of
Messina, with his colleague Verges, had been among them on
Wednesday week, his merits would there have been duly recog¬
nised. 44 Oh ! that he had been here to write me down an
ass ! ” would not then have been a vain aspiration The writing
down of asses and eke of mules—or let us borrow’ a uice W'ora
from the costermongers, to speak of the tw’o classes as mules
and 44 mokes ”—was the official business of that day. “ Moke,”
by-the-way, is derived from the Arabic, as well as “box” from
“ bakshish ;” and w f e see no objection to its permitted use. A
benevolent and evangelical peer of the realm has just de¬
clared that ho is as proud to call himself an honorary
costermonger as to be a Knight of the Garter. And why
should he not? when it is a compliment to enrol the noblest
Englishman in the Company of Fishmongers. 44 Do you know
me, my lord?” 44 Excellent well ; thou area fishmonger.” 4 ‘ /,
my lord ! ” 44 No ? then I would thou wert as honest a man ”

So let us speak of the 44 coster ; ” and, whatever we say of him,
we may surely say as much of his ass, his moke, or his donkey,
whichever you please to call it. There is a good time coining
for these patient, modest, unassuming beasts of service.
History and poetry shall yet be heard to exalt their fame.
44 He bravs, the laureate of the long eared kind,” shall not in
future be the blameless bard’s reproach. The solid virtues of
this animal, his sobriety, meekness, integrity, and Scottish
shrewdness, nurtured on a thistle diet, will no longer be mis¬
taken for dulness. Fe w of our dumb companions have a more
genuine sense of humour, or truer perception of human cha¬
racter. Could they but tell ua what they think of us, it were
profitable for some of us to hear. 44 Thou, too, art an ass,” one
might say ; or classically, El tu, Brute/ 44 J, you brute ! ” tho
indignant biped would reply. Then comes the moke’s rejoinder,
“ I would thou wert as honest a beast.” If, indeed, the ass
knoweth his rider or driver, the opinion he may secretly
have of that individual is a mystery, like the private judgment
of Montaigne's cat upon her master.

This fascinating theme, like that of our late discourse upon
the excellent goose, hath seduced an idle pen into the devious
paths of moral philosophy, whence it is time to escape.
The Mokes and Mules—wo rank tho pure asinine breed as
higher, for the other is but a mongrel—mustered at the Crystal
Palace of Sydenham, in all their best looks. They are
much obliged to Mr. F. W. Wilson, superintendent of tho
natural history department, for inviting them to this h» !?<'
assemble, or for making itB arrangements. Prizes of £10
and below were offered in eight class s—namely, mules
of fourteen hands’ stature; smaller mules ; male donkeys,
or jackasses; females, or jenny-asses; English males;
English females; English neutrals, or geldings; and
donkeys of any other variety, not including thoso of man¬
kind. Mr. S. Lang and Mr. W. Lort were the judges. Our
reporter is not the promised poet Laureate of that deserving
species ; but he feels it duo to his fellow’-creatures to notice
two or three of them upon this occasion. One belongs to his
friend in Regent’s Park, the friend of the public, of man and
beast, Mr. A. Bartlett, superintendent of the Zoological
Gardens. It was a beautiful little mule, w ith a coat of black
velvet, the offspring of an Exmoor pony and a Spanish
Dou(key), which are tw'o very good breeds. Another popular
gentleman, Air. G. W. Moore, or the firm Moore and Burgess,
St. James’s Hall (late Christy Minstrels), sent a very pretty
mule to be shown ; but this pet of 44 Bones ” had broken knees,
and w as thereby denied a prize.

The Great Ass Interest seemed to be looking up, especially
in the persons of a pair of the gigantic Poitou breed; one of
them. No. 23, standing 14 hands 1 in high, with stout liml s
and mighty joints. One was reminded of Edward the Black
Frince, and of the Plantagenot wars in that French province
500 years ago. This stalwart dnerie, to coin such a word, is
quite worthy of that chivalry in the field of light between two
neighbour nations. Thenco passing on to Spam, the land of
Sane bo’s Dapple as well as of the Knight’s Rosinante, it
appeared, in spite of the Carlists and the lutransigentes, there
w ei e some fine donkeys to be spared from that romaufciccouutry.
they had crossed the Bay of Biscay, like any other Spanish
magnates or grandees, to receive, with characteristic
national gravity, the best compliments of the Euglish
people. Still, for all that and all that, we believe in tho
Cockney coster s moke, of which many were exhibited by
their happy owners. The Archbishop of Canterbury, who
won a third prize in class 7, may not, perhaps, be reckoned,
with Lord Shaftesbury, as an honorary member of that guild.
Gut there could be little hesitation in admitting the name
of Mr. Ihomas Moakson; or the practical experience of animals
used to draw a cart-load of greenstuff, 44 a ton weight of it,
easy, from Kings-cross to Golden-lane in forty-five minutes.”
The certificates of what they could do, and what they had
done, w ere far beyond Dogberry’s glorification of himself. That
a moke can trot eight miles in the hour, and even tw*elve miles
au hour, is a fact which ought, by some means, to bo made
known to the horsey mind. Thirty miles a day, the average
steady work for some of our asinine clients, was pronounced by
Ancient Pistol to be the utmost performance of those 4 * pack-

the asses, were recorded to have done marvellous feats on the
road. One mule, belonging to Mr. James Cole, had trotted
from North Devon to London in forty-tw r o hours ; another, in
forty-eight hours, had made a journey of 220 miles, conveying
four passengers with luggage. Mr. C. L. Sutherland, as
breeder and ow*ner of the finest mules, contributed much to
this exhibition.

The sketches we have engraved need a few words of ex¬
planation. At the top of the page, in the middle, is the head
of Mr. Bartlett’s mule, pretty black Jess, 44 a dear little beast,”
says our artist in his notes. To the left, at the top, is a prize
English jackass, with liis hair unclipped. To tho right are a
pair of Spanish donkeys, male and female ; the former sent by
Mr. C. L. Sutherland, the latter by Mr. E. Wilson. Below is
represented an amusing scene, when the costermongers incited
their beasts to kick, which rather enlivened the crow’d of spec¬
tators. Low er down we see the judges, taking account of the
merits of the English gelding class. The gentleman to the left
is a triumphant prize-winner. A coloured ribbon is about to
be given, to decorate the animal esteemed worthy of this token.

FINE ARTS.

EXHIBITION OF THE ROYAL ACADEMY.

(TEHII r> NOTICE )

Amidst the great dearth in this exhibition of works of high
aim, whether religious or classical, the “Prometheus Bound”
(6S7), by Mr. W. B. Richmon l, the son of the Academician,
acquires au importance beyond, the interest it would always
command in virtue of its bold conception and execution, and
its no less daring dimensions. The picture must measure about
20 ft. high, and one naturally asks “ What will he do with it ?”
seeing how rare is the present demand for monumental work
on this scale, and that its subject limits its use to the mural
decoration of some secular building only. The composition
represents the nude Titan chained t > a precipitous peak of rock
in mid ocean, at early daw*n, tho thin crescent moon being near
the horizon. Sea-gulls circle about the rock, but there is no
vulture or eagle at its horrible meal. The grizzled head of
Prometheus is bent forward in intense thought, prying into the
far-off future. The idea of more hysical endurance is dis¬
missed ; nor is tho intention thaf of representing a being of
superhuman craft, who outwitted >eus; the artists conception
is evidently a far nobler one— lo., that of the primal bene¬
factor of mankind, the inventor and discoverer living before
his time and condemned to a solitary life of martyrdom. Tho
colouring of the dark-hued figure and the background
is arbitrary, but not more so than the ideal nature of the sub¬
ject justifies. Such a grandiose figure can scarcely fail to recall
the creations of Michael Angelo, yet we recognise no plagiarism.
The picture altogether is a credit to our school, and singularly
honourable to the young painter, especially w hen we consider
how small is tho encouragement for such w r ork.

Neither Mr. Briton RivRre nor Mr. Hey wood Hardy can
be regarded as particularly fortunate in the classical themes
they have lighted upon Both being animal-painters, the human
figures they have introduced are, as might be expected, invested
with secondary importance and interest, thereby increasing
the inherent improbability of the Greek fables selected. Mr.
Briton Rivifcre’s 44 Apollo ” (260), is but an insignificant 44 sun-
god,” as he lolls rather awkwardly against a pine-trunk,
charming with his lyre Admetus’s flocks of goaia, and drawing
lions ami lynxes from the dark glen to his feet, and even the
timid deer from their haunts in the pine wood. The beat
touches in the picture are the catlike fawning and half-dozing
gestures of the feline creatures, the scintillation of their eyes
in the darkness, and the listening Attitude of the hares as they
sit erect iu their form, with pricked ears. A more solid mode
of painting ia adopted in the iigure of Apollo than is usual with
this artist, but not in other ports of the picture. Mr. Riviere
is more at home in his able study of a lioness sleeping at the
mouth of a cave, entitled ‘‘Genius Loci” (520) Mr. Hoy wood
Hardy’s picture (7*0) representing Ulysses in feigned mad¬
ness ploughing the seashore with a horse and bull yoked
together, ia a little opaque and dry technically. Here again
the painting of the dim-coloured horse—studied apparently,
and very properly, from the Elgin frieze— is moro admirable
than that of the human figure, the sudden and violent effort of
Ulysses to avoid trampling on his infant son being somewhat
uugainly. Classical in its characteristics also, though exclu¬
sively decorative in aim and treatment, is Mr. A. Moore’s
figure of a maiden in Greek costume walking along fretted
sands by the seashore, entitled 44 Sholls ” (936). The contours
have antique grace, and the warm and cool greys compose a
most agreeable harmony. Hanging as a pendant to this, in the
Lecture- Room, is another decorative figure, by Mr. Armstrong,

“ A Girl Watching a Tortoise ” (1054), which, though less com¬
plete in modelling, and less well balanced in the disposition of
light and dark colours, has passages of much elegance.

Of historical painting proper—that is to say, the repre¬
sentation of actual events—there is as great a doarth as of
poetic art. Almost the only example we have not mentioned
is “The Morning before Fioddeu ” (509), by Mr. John Filed,
a careful work, which, however, w’ould gain with more
of the ease and play of hand and colour of the at tint’s
brother, the R.A. But there are several pictures the
scenes, costumes, and accessories of which belong to tho
past. Mr. C. Green, in a large composition (1022), shows
a number of civic dignitaries at the entrance of a city,
advancing to avclcome and proffer their allegiance to the
Emperor Maximilian in an “Address,” and by presentation of
the keys of the city gates and other ceremonial pageantry.
There is much meritorious painting here ; but the picture lacks
light and shade, and the absence of the Einperor is like the
play of Hamlet without the Prince of Denmark ; nor is this
deficiency fully compensated by the humorous or otherwise
interesting character of the spectators, as in Mr. Marks’s
picture of last year, with a similar motive, called 44 Waiting
for the Procession. ’ There is vory genuine, unforced pathos,
as well as a beautiful twilight effect, in Mr. P. It. Morris’s
originally conceived incident entitled “The End of the
Journey ” (1020). An aged veteran, in his old, threadbare
Georgian regimentals, has returned from one of the rounds he
makes as a pedlar, and sits, tired and worn, on the case con¬
taining his w r ares, by the brink of a stream. His grand¬
daughter stands near him, with the old military drum she beats
to summon customers. To them approaches the ferry-boat
(with the village Charon, it may be, for tho old man) that is to
convey them to the opposite bank, where iu the quiet gloaming
nestle a few cottages and a narrow churchyard. Sentiment less
masculine but true and tender, combined with an exquisitely
delicate sense of beauty, will be found in No. 5S4, by Mr. A.
Hughes— black stoled and hooded” nuns in a boat conveying
a fair girl, m the w’hite robes of her noviciate, across a stream
to a convent seclusion almost hidden amongst thick foliage—
bearing her away from a sorrowing mother, a sister, and a
noble-looking young man standing on tho foreground bank.

4 l ilgnms Setting Out for Canterbury—time of Chaucer*” (982),
by Mr. Bough ton, presents a double attraction in its extensive
spring landscape, wfith the trees and meads in fullest bloom and
flower, and in the quaintly yet unaffectedly ancient aspect of
the figures that are dotted about. In a road in the middle
distance leading to a medieval town the main stream of pilgrims
are seen trudging along ; but two have left the beaten track to
pray at a ahrmo in the foreground, and two others are assisted
by fair village maidens to fill their water-bottles at a well It
is pleasant to witness such sympathy with old English life and
literature from an American artist; we could, however, have
washed to see pilgrims more expressive of the widely diverse
characters drawn by old Dan Chaucer. “Paris 17‘rC 3 /ko**\

Mr, Wynfi il l’s picture of a Protestant family discovered by
emissaries of the Holy Lnquisition holding a midnight religious
service (5U>) is meritorious in expression and effect, but the
painting is rather too smooth in texture aud even in tone. A
similar remark applies to 44 Instruction in Deportment—the
Curtsey ” (444). Mr. H. Wallis sends once more his long,
robed Venetian merchants seated on a marblo bench against a
richly-stained marblo dado. This time a Levantine sailor is
ou his knees offering for sale a small bronze of a dancing b w .

anticipations.

pass to some figure-pictures from contemporary materials not
hitherto noticed.

Foremost among these is Mr. Marcus Stone’s picture of the
comely wife of a sturdy rustic labourer, who, having brought
the mail’s dinner, holds her babe towards him for a Wiaa, whiLt
a Little toddler at her side awaits its turn for a caress. Iu the
adjacent grounds of a neighbouring mansion a lady in black
walks sad and lonely, turning a wistful gaze at the humble
happy group, suggestive of the contrast implied in the title,
“ My Lady is a Widow and Childless ” (106). The artist gains
enormously by more direct contact with nature than in hispre-
vious historical illustrations. The style is larger and maulier,
the effect is pure und atmospheric, aud, saving a little seokuig
for colour and light and shade in the woman’s cotton gowu
(which asjumes, in consequence, a rather eafcin-like aspect),
there is no artificiality of treatment whatever. Strange to say,
a foreign artist—M. 'riasot—sets our painters an example, m
choosiug English subjects so characteristic that they seem to l»i
neglected only because they arc so near at hand. It is even
more strange to find a foreigner paiutiug in a st ill brighter key
than tho highest ‘‘exhibition pitch” of our native artists, to
tin? entire neglect of that sobriety of tone and 4 ‘keeping”
w hich usually distinguiBhos.Contmental from British pictures.
But, though a very keen observer, M. Tissot, like most other
of our Fruiich critics, fails in sympathy and falls into vulgar
exaggeration. The peculiar types prevalent in his works—
the lanky faces, crane necks, and falling shoulders—arc
not recognisable by us as English; they are, besides,
always curiously cold and antipathetic. Then again M. fissot
conceives his effect primarily in black and white; and how¬
ever gay the superacfded tinting, it can hardly be regarded ns
“colour” in the higher artistic sense. Added t<» all thia,
M. Tissot seems to have no perception of relative piebtrial
values, and will paint a ship’s rigging with as much mechanic A
precision aud zest as a young lady's counteuance. The i
remarks apply, we think, in their fullest exteut, both to iLj
artist's picture of a bail on board a mau-of-war lying off > own
(690), which, however clever in its perspective ami elaborate i
of a thousand intricate details, is garish aud almost repella.ni;
and iu the stid less agreeable scene (U6) under the poriioo «>t
the National Gallery, with its Arctic frigidity, its good-lookm ; *
but singularly-uninteresting couple, and its puny Blucc»>&
boys, with their brimstone-colour Stoekcned sticks of legs.

The very antipodes of thia kind of painting may be foun l
in two works by the Dutch master Israels, where, albbougi
one cannot be wholly unconscious of the recherche lor
Rembrandtesquo chiaroscuro, technicalities are almost entirely
subordinated to the pathetic feeling with which tho pictures
seem to bo literally instinct. One, called “Expectation”
(621), shows a young Schcvcning lisherwomau, seated, making
the smallest of uuderelothiug, beside a cradle at present
unoccupied. Another represents a poor mother, of the same
fisher class, looking with reddened eyes forebodingly out of »
cottage window at dusk. Three children arc at the table, the
eldest just old enough to share her mother’s anxiety. Com¬
pleter as representation—necessarily so, seeing that tho sceuo
is laid in the open air—is Mr. Bource’s “Ruined! The Day
After the Tempest ” (719). Nothing iu the exhibition is truer
to nature or more touching than the piteous, speechless, heart¬
broken expressions of that old mother and that youug wifu,
with a babe at her bosom, as they sit among the desolate sand-
heaps, watching the breaking up of the wrecked boat of their
lost bread-winner. By P. Sad^o, another Dutch painter, there
is a pathetic little picture, with a beautiful silvery effect ui
dawn, called “The Portion of the Poor” (319). There are also
examples of Mesdag and J. Maris, of the same school, together
with a cattle-piece, by De Haas (1019), distinguished by his l'»o
colour and brilliant yet solid manipulation. The Scandinavian
master, A. Tidemand, contributes a large picture, wL.i
numerous figures, representing some of the picturesque usages
at a “Norwegian Wedding” (6H). We need hardly say fciwt
tho work is as faithful to national characteristics as it is sound*
able, and honest, technically considered. Three pictures by Mr.
E. Fr&re scarcely realise the charm of early works; the best con*
siderably is 44 Woodcutter’s Dinner” (214). By the German-
American painter A. Wilst there is a moonlight-piece, ‘‘An
American Forest Scene” (1397), w'hich is noteworthy for its
artistic effect and refined execution. But the most important
example of foreign landscape art is the noble view by tfl 0
Belgian painter, Van Luppen, of the 44 Raviue of Failmagu« w
(700), an almost savage gorge in the Ardennes, the asperities Of
w’hich are, however, softened by the interposition of a semi¬
transparent veil of argentine morning haze. The broad
gradations and tender transitions of this favourite effect of the
artist ore rendered with his customary felicity ; yet the work¬
manship has a solidity of impasto w r hich (especially ii the
picture were, as it certainly should be, a little nearer tho eye)
would afford a lesson to that large class of our landscape-painter
who adopt a thin and flimsy, though showy and sparkling*
method ol handling.

The landscapes not hitherto roviewed, tho portraits, ami
tho sculpture must be reserved for future uoticc.

SOCIETY OF FRENCH ARTISTS.

The pictures which M. Durand- Ruel, the well-known Parisian
dealer, has brought together in the present exhibition at the
gallery in New Bond-street, illustrate in larger proportion even
than heretofore that newest phase of French art which appa¬
rently acknowledges the leadership of Courbet and Manet in
landscape and figures respectively. Not content with the
reaction of such masters of romanticism as Delacroix, T.
Rousseau, Troy on, Diaz, and J. Dupre, against the old classical
traditions, the painters of this new school scorn all teaching,
and ignore even the most innocent of the conventions which
the experience of ages has shown are necessary in translations
of nature on to canvas, whether poetic or realistic. The
prophets of this new school are in art as revolutionary
and anarchical as are the Communists in politics. Their
primary aim is simply to match the hues and tones of nature in
a rough, broad way, contemning beauty and sentiment, disre¬
garding detail and technical charm, unguided by pictorial
science in composition, drawing, harmonious colouring, or
keeping in tone and effect To our mind such theories are
subversive of all true art; and it would be an evil day for
British painting if they ever obtained currency among us.
Their application in practice is but a superior kind of tapestry,
working. Occasionally, when a fine effect in nature is acci¬
dentally chosen, it may be (by the best men) dashed off with
truth and power. But always it is hit or miss, and the misses
quite ruin the score. The results are certainly novel, but we
cannot admit that they are more valuable on that account. Tho
productions of a large proportion of the school resemble nothing
so much as the sketches, more or less abortive, of tyros, and
they would be regarded as little more in any school but this
newest school of the French. These remarks apply in a greater
or less degree to tho examples of the following artists ; we shall
therefore not particularise—viz., Messrs. Manet, Courbet,
Mouet, Pissaro, Sisley, Duez, FHermitte, Lambert, and G.
Bellenger. Two or three pictures by Marie Cazin might be in¬
cluded in the same category j but we must except No. 118 in
virtue of its truthful and beautiful effect of a gleam of sunlight
in “ Harvest Time.” Even M. Daubigny, a much finer painter
than either of those named, is open to the charge of artificiality
in the obviously forced contrasts of “St. Paul’s from the
Surrey Side” (41), and of self-conscious bravura and mate¬
rialistic paintiness in passages of the moonlight views Nos. 72
and 92.

This new school appears to claim affinity with painters of
widely different characteristics, such as Corot, Michel, Rousseau,
Duprl, and Fantin ; but it can only do so with manifest incon¬
sistency. M. Corot’s peculiarities are well known, and it must
be admitted by his warmest admirers that he is one of the most
conventional of painters. His tender and lovely effects of light
in the sky are in variably foiled by masses of foliage that are
mannered to the last degree in their generalisation. Of his
several works here we prefer the smaller ones, such as “The
Goatherd—Evening” (43), to the large-and ambitious semi-
classical composition, entitled “ St. Sebastian ” (28), the scale
of which strikes us as far beyond the scope of his limited
range of colour and effect. Michel is a painter long neglected,
who has lately risen into favour at Paris, like some of our early
Norwich masters, with whom his breadth of manner may be
compared. There is an interesting memoir of him in tho
catalogue, but the examples of him here hardly justify his
sudden reputation ; they seem to us violent in their oppositions
of light and shado, and wanting in true chiaroscuro. M.
Fautm’a flowers are as admirable as ever ; and the execution is
most artistically calculated to render as much detail as is con¬
sistent with purity of hue and crispness of touch. A group of
larkspurs, yellow hollyhocks, and gladioli (2) and No. 121 are
especially delightful. There are also generally small but good
works by T. Rousseau, J. Breton, J. Duprd, G. Pelouse, aud
C. Jacques. But two of tho most remarkable pictures in the
collection are “A Negress Charming a Heron” (50) and a
figure of an old gipsy (112) by Roy bet. Here we have gorgeous
and magnificent colouring, with other pictorial qualities in due
relative strength. Rarely, indeed, have we seen the splendid
costumes, metal vessels, furniture, and other accessories of an
Oriental interior so superbly painted.

M. LOPPE S ALPINE PICTURES.

At the gallery, No. 9, Conduit-street, an exhibition is now
open, the principal attraction of which is a series of pictures by
Al. Gabriel Lopp4, the celebrated Genevese painter, whoso
representations of the sublime but, pictorially-considered, very
intractable scenery and phenomena of the higher Alps, are the
most satisfactory we have ever seen. M. Lopp<5 unites in a
very rare degree the knowledge of an experienced Alpine
climber with the artistic ability necessary to turn that know¬
ledge to the best account on canvas. M. Loppy’s works are
deservedly held in high esteem by our Alpine Club, of which
he is an honorary member, yet they hardly need the recom¬
mendation of those competent judges, so unmistakable is the
internal evidence of truthfulness they present. Nor is there
wanting the still higher quality of imaginative sympathy with
the more transient atmospheric effects, whether awful or
beautiful, of those solitary altitudes. A striking instance of
this is afforded in a sunset view from the summit of “L’Aiguille
du Goutd,” as seen in an ascent of Mont Blanc on the St.
Gervais side. The sun has sunk below a broad belt

of stratified vapour that lies like a sea of blood
along the horizon ; the mountains are enveloped, cold
and dead, in the great earth shadow; but from the
vast gulf that divides our foothold from the farthest peaks
rise a ghostly mass of clouds, their troubled upper surfaces
presenting a strange weird resembanco to a host of shrouded
spectral figures in mournful procession, with here and there
the white-robed arms raised in despair. Other pictures,
several of which are of very large dimensions, are equally
noteworthy in one way or the other, particularly the views of
the Matterhorn from the Valley of Zermatt; the Aler do
GJa^e, and Aiguille des Charmoz; the Glacier du Gdant;
another and larger picture of the stupendous masses of ice of
tho same glacier, indicative of the dangers of passing the
8erac$, with their cloven chasms of unfathomed blue ; and last,
but not least remarkable, a view from the summit of Mont
Blanc at sunrise. The collection also includes works by several
of the leading artists of the day ; but, as these have for the
most part been previously exhibited, it is not imperative to
revew them in detail, nor would our space permit us to do so.

A new picture, very elaborate in composition, entitled “The
Dream of Pilate’s Wife,” has been added to the exhibition of
AL Gustave Dord’s works at the gallery in New Bond-street.
To the left is a vacant bed-chamber, flooded with a fiery glare
as from a conflagration, though wc ouly see a taper burning ;
a lengthy flight of stairs descends therefrom, half way down
which stand, their backs reflecting the glow from tho chamber
above, Pilate’s wife, and an angel directing her attention to her
supposititious dream—i.o., a multitude of figures below, all of
which are represented under an effect of blue light, as of exag¬
gerated moonlight, save the figure of Christ, with crown of
thorn » and bleeding brow, which is focussed in a pencil of red

light descending from the distant bed-chamber, like a ray of
liine-light on the stage. Around him are the executioners with
the cross, Roman soldiers, Jewish priests, and a crowd of
spectators, which seems to resolve into Christian converts and
martyrs, and finally to melt in the distauce into surmounting
r&uks of the heavenly hierarchy, encircling a luminous cross
that irradiates a kind of phosphorescent light on all sides. The
real, tho fanciful, and the symbolical are mixed together with
the wildest licence in this daring conception, aud the whole is
realised with the artist’s extraordinary skill in the indication of
great crowds and in the management of sensational effects.

Mr. Algernon Graves has compiled an historical catalogue
of all the engraved works of Sir Edwin Landseer, now exhiUted
at Messrs. Henry Graves and Co.'s galleries, in Pall-mall. They
are arranged in chronological order,^ placing together the pro¬
ductions of each year, from the earliest attempts at etching in
1809, when the artist was a child seven years of age, to his
pictures of 1870 and 1872, engraved by Air. Thomas Landseer.
The catalogue has thus a certain degree of biographical interest.
It has been prepared with the utmost accuracy, and will be
worth preserving as a memorial of Landseer. Mr. A. Graves
is making a separate catalogue of Landseer’s works that were
not engraved.

Tho Lords of the Treasury have appointed the Alarqnis of
Bath and Lord Ronald Charles Sutherland Leveson - Gower
trustees of the National Portrait Gallery, in tho room of the
Bishop of Winchester, deceased, and of Earl Cowper.

Sir Digby Wyatt has felt compelled by the state of his health
to resign the post of Architect to the India Office.

MUSIC.

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.

On Thursday week “H Guarany,” the work of Senor Gonez—
a Brazilian composer—was given for the first time this season.
Tho opera was produced here at the close of the season of 1872,
and received three performances, in each of which tho heroine
was represented by Mdlle. Sessi. On the former occasion we
noticed the opera so fully that brief mention may now suflice,
especially as its musical merits are not of a very high order ;
indeed, it is rather as a spectacle that “H Guarany ” produces
its effects. Scarcely anything has ever been witnessed—even
at the Royal Italian Opera House—more splendid than the
scene of the Indian encampment, with its groups of warriors,
gorgeous costumes, and elaborate ballet action.

In tho performance of Thursday week the part of the heroine
was assigned to Mdlle. Marimon, who sang with great brilliancy,
especially in tho polacca aria, “Gentile cuore” (encored), the
love-duet in the first act, Emilia’s ballata, “e’era una volta,” and
the duet, “Donna tu forse,” with Gonzales, in the second act.
The character of Pery — heretofore filled by Signor Nicolini —
was transferred to Signor Bolis,* whose magnificent tenor voice
gave great effect to the music of the character. Signor Cotogni, as
Gonzales, sang with tho same success as formerly, having been
much applauded throughout, and encored in the canzone of the
second act. M. Maurel was tho Cacique—before represented
by M. Faure—and the other characters were filled by Signori
Capponi, Alanfrcd, Rossi, and Raguer.

The two closing operas last week were “ Les Hnguenots ” on
Friday (a repetition), and “Iligoletto” on Saturday (for tho
first time this season), with Mdlle. Albani as Gilda, aud the
return of Signor Graziani as Rigoletto—both these performances
having presented the same high merits as formerly.

This week began with a repetition of “ II Guarany ” on
Monday, and on Tuesday Madame Adelina Patti made her first
appearance this season as Rosina in “Il Barbiere di Siviglia,”
one of her most charming performances, and met with the
same enthusiastic reception that has always greeted her return.
As on former occasions, the aria introduced into the lesson-
scene was the bolero from “Les Vepres Siciliennes,” and tho
inevitable encore was replied to by singing “ Home, sweet
Home.” Signori Bettini, Cotogni, and Ciampi were re¬
spectively Almaviva, Figaro, and Bartolo; Signor Bagagiolo
having been, for tho first time, the Basilio,

Madame Patti was to appear again on Thursday, in
“Dinorah”; “Guglielmo Tell” having been announced for
yesterday (Friday), and “Hamlet,” with the return of
M. Faure, for this (Saturday) evening.

The performances of Tuesday and Thursday were directed
by Signor Vianesi; that of Monday by Signor Bevignani.

The second Floral Hall concert of the season takes place this
(Saturday) afternoon, and the programme includes performances
by Madame Adelina Patti and other eminent artists of the Royal
Italian Opera Company.

HER MAJESTY’S OPERA.

The performances of Thursday week aud of Saturday last
were both repetitions, “Les Huguenots” and “Norma”
having been the operas, each ca9t as recently given.

On Monday “ Semiramide ” was repeated, and on Tuesday
an Italian version of Anber’s “LesDiamans de la Couronne”
was brought out, with the d&but of Mdlle. Louise Singelli in
the principal character.

14 Les Diamnns de la Couronne ” was originally produced in
at Paris in 1841, eleven years after “ Fra Diavolo,” and thirteen
after “La Muette de Portici ” ( ‘ Masaniello ”). It was first
given in Italian at tho Royal Italian opera house during last
season, when Madame Adelina Patti filled tho character of
Catarina, as noticed by us at the time. The work—one of
the masterpieces of Auber in the style of the opera comique—
is too well known, musically and dramatically, to require fresh
comment. Mdlle. Singelli, as Catarina, made a highly favour¬
able impression, especially in the air with variations, in the
second act, in w hich her bravura singing — particularly in scale
passages aud shakes—was very brilliant. We shall doubt¬
less have early occasion again to speak of this meritorious
artist. Aldlle. Risarelli was efficient as Diana, the
bolero for the two ladies having been one of the most effective
pieces of the evening. Signor Naudin, os Don Enrico, sang
well, as did Signor Rinaldini as DonSebastiano ; Signor Agnesi,
as Rebollcdo, having scarcely appeared to as great advantage
as in some other impersonations. Signor Borella gave a buffo
interpretation of the character of H Conte di Campo Major, in
strong contrast to the French version thereof.

The pretty overture and the beautiful orchestral accompani¬
ments were finely played by the band, the chorus-singing was
particularly good, and the general performance was worthy of
tho work, the establishment, and the conductor (Sir M. Costa).

“ Le Nozzc di Figaro” was to be given on Thursday, and
Auber’s opera—under its Italian title of “ Catarina; ossia,
I Oiamanti della Corona ”—was announced for repetition to¬
night (Saturday).

On Wednesday evening the second season of the Wagner
Society closed with the sixth concert of the series. The pro¬
gramme comprised Berlioz’s overture to “ Benvenuto Cellini,”
and an extract from his oratorio, “ L’Enfancc du Christ,”
aud selections from Wagner’s operas, “ Die Aleistcrsinger von
Nurnberg,” 11 Lohengrin,” “ Der Fliegend/* Hollander,” aud
“ Tristan and Isolde.

Mr. Charles Hallo’s second i'«noforto recital took place
yesterday (Friday) afternoon, wh , ie programme comprised
selections from Haydn, Schubert, Bach, Chopm, and Rubinstein.

The proceedings on the occasion of tho Czar’s visit to the
Crystal Palace to-day (Saturday) and to the Royal Albert Hall
on Alonday will include musical performances, of which we
must speak next week.

THEATRES.

Many are the new phases in which, in tho present day,
theatrical adventure exhibits itself. Not only have morning
performances become fashionable, but sometimes a company
changes its theatre for a night or two and pays a flying visit to
a neighbouring establishment. For the ancient rivalry co¬
operation has been substituted, with, it would appear, a

E rofitable result to the friendly managements. Such an exchange
as lately taken place in respect to the Strand and the Gaiety.
The company of the former has twice crossed the road and
arrived safely at the latter, with Mr. H. B. Farnie’s folia
inufiicale, entitled, “Eldorado.” There they have found a new
and more numerous audience, quite as ready to laugh at tho
absurdities of conduct and speech as tho old. The experiment
last Saturday was perfectly successful; that for to-day is tho
burlesque of “Nemesis,” which in all probability will suc¬
ceed even better.

A new piece has been produced at the Court—one of the
most elegant kind, by Air. Alfred Thompson, and iu all
respects most elegantly placed on the stage by its able author, a
master in such exploits, well known to theatrical fame. Tho
subject is taken from Fenelon’s charming prose poem,
“ Telemachus,” and is named 44 Calypso.” Here we have the
amorous dotage of the island goddess and her jealousy of the
nymph Eucharis, and the moral perils from which the son of
ijlysses is delivered by Minerva disguised as Mentor. It is a
dream of youth beautifully realised ; yet its complexion is too
sober for a mixed audience. We doubt, therefore, of its
attracting for a long period ; but its merits are so great that it
deserves the liberal patronage of the public.

Air. and Mrs. German Reed have established their enter¬
tainment at St. George’s Hall, Langham-place, where they have
revived the piece composed by Messrs. Gilbert and Clay,
called “Ages Ago,” which received our commendation when
originally produced. They have added the new musical sketch
by Mr. Corney Grain, entitled “A Day in Town.” The enter¬
tainment concludes with 44 Charity begins at Home,” tho last
representations of which amusing piece are now announced.
We are thus led to expect some novelty at no distant period.

We are informed that in the new comedy of “ Mont Blanc,”
which is to be produced at the Haymarket Theatre ou Whitsun
Monday, Mr. T. S. Jerrold, a son of the late Douglas Jerrold,
will make his first appearance on tho London stage in tho
character of Captain Achille Fortinbras—the part having been
specially written for him.

THE YACHTING SEASON.

The first match of the Royal London Yacht Club was sailed on
Thursday week. It was an “ocean match”—that is to say, in
the open sea round the Forelands of Kent. The course was
from Dover to Southend. Eight vessels started—namely, the
schooner Cetonia, of 203 tons, owned by Mr. Turner ; the
yawl Florinda, 137 tons, Mr. Jessop; the cutter Kriembilda,
106, Count Batthyany ; Mr. Sharp’s yawl Gertrude, 79 ; Com¬
modore Broadwood’s cutter Arethusa; Air. Lambert’s yawl
Surf; and the Norrnau and MyosotiB, cutters, belonging to
Major Ewing and Air. Macmaster. There was a time allowance
for size, a quarter of a minute to the ton. All the yachts were
in cruising trim. They were started by Air. Earle, vice-com¬
modore, on board a steam-boat, at eight o’clock. The wind
then was good, but soon became light and shifting. After
passing the light-ship at the South Sand Head, tho changes of
the wind gave much to do in altering the smaller sails,
and the yachts lay becalmed about an hour. It
was nearly one o’clock before they got round the Fast
Goodwin light ship. The Florinda here was first; tho others
were all in cluster behind. The Krienihilda, the Florinda,
aud the Arethusa repeatedly luffed across each others path!
But from the East Goodwin to tho North Sand light ship
nothing of importance took place, the yachts constantly chang-
ing places. At a quarter past two o’clock the Norman led
round, with Myosotis second, and the others all too close
together to time them. Drifting and sailing in turns, the yachts
slowly worked their way onwards, first one aud then another
taking the lead, until about five, when a nice sailing breeze
sprang up, and, lasting for about a couple of hours, gave them
a good lift against the strong ebb tide. After a long, tedious
drag up the river the race finished about midnight, the order
of arrival being — Arethusa first, Kriemhilda second, Norman,
Alyosotis, Surf, Cetonia, &c. The Arethusa therefore wins the
cutters’ prize, £80 ; the Surf the yawls’, £50 ; and the Cetonia
the schooners’, £30. The sailing was tedious, but it was a
pleasant day at sea.

A dinner was given at Portsmouth, on Tuesday, to the
officers engaged in the Ashantee campaign—Air. G. E. Kent,
the Alayor of the borough, presiding. The officers present were
Sir Garnet Wolseley, Sir John Glover, Sir F. Festing, Sir J.
M'Leod, and Sir J. Commerell.

Sir George Campbell, late Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal,
arrived on Monday from Calcutta, and on Tuesday bad an
interview with the Marquis of Salisbury at the India Office.
Sir George will take his seat in the Council of tho Secretary of
State for India, having been appointed during his absence in
India to succeed Sir Louis Mallet, C.B., a^/pointed Under-
Secretary of Stato in the room of the late Mr. Herman Merivale.

The Duke of Devonshire, who has only recently completed
the formation of an extensive recreation and cricket ground at
Eastbourne, has expressed his intention of executing further
works for the benefit of the town, at an estimated coat of
£15,000. The want of a large assembly-room has long been
felt, and his Grace intends erecting a spacious pavilion, 350 ft.
in length. While providing a large hall for meetings, space
will also be afforded for a public library. Adjoining will be
winter gardens and a skating-rink.

A miniature portrait-painter of skill and experience may
perhaps give evidence as 44 an expert ” in the trial of eayes,
like that A the pretender to tho Tichborne estate aud title,
where a question of disputed personal identity is at isi.uo!
Mr. Frederick Piercy, in a brief essay published by Air. a!
Rich, Exeter-street, Strand, and at the author’s studio, in PulU
mall East, discusses the main principles of characteristic facial
conformation, with a view to indicating “a crucial test of
identity.” The position of the oyes, aud the shape of the ears
are more especially considered. The treatise is illustrated by
several lithographs. It may bo as well to state that tile author
rejects Orton’s claim to be Sir Roger Tichborne.

TIIE LATE MB. J. L. LUCAS.

CAPTAIN PERCY PITT LUXMOORE, C.B.

Sir John Edmund Commerell, K.G.B., Captain R.N., was
long since decorated with the V.C. for his acts of valour. He
has lately been raised from the Companionship to the Knight¬
hood of the Bath, in token of her Majesty’s increased esteem
for him since his services last year on the West Coast of Africa.
The action in which Sir John Commerell gained such high
honours took place several months before Sir Garnet Wolseley
was sent out to assume the military command. Commodore

Commerell was there, with H.M.S Rattlesnake, accompanied
by H.M.S. Argus and Decoy. It was on Aug. 11 that he
arranged and commanded, as senior naval officer on that station,
an expedition of armed boats from several ships of the squadron
to go up the river Prah, for the purpose of surveying and re¬
connoitring, as it was reported that the Ashantee array, then
encamped at Mampon, some twenty miles inland, had occupied
I a post on an island of that river. The native town of Chainah,

at the mouth of the Prah, was first visited by our Commodore,
and he had an amicable conference with the local chieftains,
who professed neutrality and promised never to tako
part with our enemies, though they would not become
our active allies. But a few hours after this peaceful assurance,
when the boats were quietly going uj> the river close to the
Chainah bank, they were suddenly fired into by a large number
of concealed foes in the dense thicket a few yards distant on

the left hand. The leading boat, in which were Commodore
Commerell; Commander Percy Luxmoore, of the Argus ; and
Captain Helden, of the 1st West India Regiment, Civil Com¬
mandant at a coast station, was especially aimed at by these
murderous assassins. All the three gentlemen just named were
at once wounded in three or four places by the first volley.
The wounds received by the gallant Commodore were most
severe ; and, after rising in the boat and waving his hat, while

cheering the sailors and calling on them to return the enemy’s
fire, he presently sank into the bottom of the boat exhausted
by loss of blood. But he was still able to give directions to
Commander Luxmoore, who now assumed the command, and,
by dint of great exertions, the attack was repulsed and the
boats were safely conducted back to the roadstead outside the
mouth of the river. The town of Chamah was punished
by the Rattlesnake with a severe bombardment, not only for

this act of treachery injthe ambush up the river, but also for
the unprovoked murder of some of a boat’s crew and a few
Cape Coast native police who landed that afternoon for
ordinary duty. The Commodore was obliged to go to Cape¬
town for the cure of his wounds, and came home to England
some time before Christmas, without being able to take part in the
later operations of the war. The portrait is from a photocranh

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS

MR. JOHN LUCAS

This well known portrait-painter, whose death we have already
announced, was born in London, duly 4. 1807. He commenced
his artistic career under Mr. S. VV. Reynolds, the mezzotint
engraver ; but at the close of his apprenticeship he became a
portrait-paiutcr. During his professional lifo he panite i many
portraits of the Royal family, of members of the aristocracy,
aud of some of the most distinguished men of the ago. The
late Duko of Wellington sat to him for pictures for the county
of Hants, for the University of Oxford, for the King of
Hanover, for Prince Metteroich. for the Prussian army, for the
Austrian army, for the Oxford and Cambridge Universities
Club, aud for many others. Mr. Lucas also painted the por¬
trait group representing the consultation of Robert Stephenson,
Rrunei, Bidder, Locke, and other eminent engineers on the day
previous to the floating of the last tube of the bridge over the
Jdenai Strait. About sixty of Ilia pictures have been engraved.

CAPTAIN PERCY LUXM00RE, C.B

The services of this gallant officer of the Royal Navy in the
late war on the Gold Coast have been rewarded by his pro¬
motion from the rauk of Commander to that of Captain, and
by his investiture with the Companionship of the Bath.
Captain Percy Pitt Luxmoore, who is a son of J. Lnxmoore,
Esu., of Ply month, entered the Navy, in 1S49, as a cadet on
board H.M.S. Queen, the flagship of Sir W. Parker, G.C.B.,
in the Mediterranean. He subsequently served on the Home,
the North American, and the West Indian stations. He was a
midshipman in H.M.S. Boscawen, in the Baltic, during the
first year of the Russian War.' He became a Lieutenant in
January, 1856, on board H.M.S. Argus, which ship was em¬
ployed in protecting the Newfoundland aud Labrador fisheries.
He next served as Lieutenant on board H.M.S. Roebuck in
India and China, and was at Calcutta during part of the Indian
Mutiny. While in China, in 1859, he was transferred to the
Chesapeake, the flagship of Sir James Hope, G.C.B.
Lieutenant Luxmoore was engaged in the taking of the Taku
forts, in 1860, and in the previous conflict with the Tartars.
He returned home in bad health in 1861, and studied at the
Royal Naval College, until, in 1862, he was appointed
to the ironclad frigate Black Prince ; but in January, 1864, ho
was transferred to the Duncan, the flagship again of Sir James
Hope, G.C.B., on the North American and West Indian sta¬
tion. During his service there, the Jamaica rebellion and the
Fenian disturbances took place. Having sgain returned to
England in ill-health in 1867, Lieutenant Luxmoore was pro¬
moted to the rank of Commandant, September, 1867. He w as
Inspecting Commander of the Salcombe Coastguard Division,
South Devon, from March, 1870, until March, 1873. At the
last-mentioned date he was appointed to the command of
H.M.S. Argus, in which be proceeded to the West Coast of
Africa. The Argus remained on the Gold Coast throughout
the Ashantee War. Commander Luxmoore, as our readers
know, was present at the destruction of Elinina, on June 13;
and on Aug. 14, as was mentioned above, he was with Com¬
modore Sir J. H. Commerell, K.G.B., V.C., in a boat-party,
exploring the Prah near Chamah, where the natives behaved
so treacherously. Commander Luxmoore received six severe
wounds on that occasion ; but he still kept the command when
his superior officer was disabled by several dangerous wounds.
(Commander Luxmoore was hit in the left hip, shoulder, back,
and left side, the enemy having fired from an ambush just after
the hoats had passed them going up the river. 4 ‘ I cannot,”
say8 Sir J. Commerell, “ speak too highly of the conduct of
this officer,” referring to his second in command ; 44 for it was
not until some time afterwards it was discovered he was
wounded so severely that he nearly fainted ; yet he continued
to remain at his post until the last moment, when the heavy
lire trom our boats had driven the enemy out of the bush.” Tw o
months after this (Oct. 14) Commander Luxmoore was engaged
under Captain E. R. Fremantle, C.B., co-operating with the
laud forces, under Sir Garnet Wolseley, at the destruction of
Ampenee and Akiinfoo, having the Argus and Decoy under his
command. With the same gun-boats, some weeks later, ho
attacked and destroyed the town of Bootry, and performed
other services on the coast. He then lauded as second in com¬
mand of the Naval Brigade on Dec. 27. He led the sailors
under his command, joining the march of the troops, up the
country and into the Ashantee kingdom. At the battle of
Atnoaful he was in command of the left wring of the Naval
Br ig&de, and received two contusions. Pie further commanded
the seamen and marines at the attack and destruction of
Becquahon the following day, Feb. 1; but a day or two later, when
at Mansu, fifteen or sixteen miles from Coomassie, fever attacked
him so severely that he had to return to the coast. Captain
Luxmoore then took command of H.M.S. Druid, in the vacancy
caused by the death of that excellent and greatly lamented
officer, Captain Blake. In this ship he returned to England,
nnd has been presented to her Majesty the Queen, who greeted
him with her special approbation. In his native county of
Devon, the honours won by Captain Luxmoore arc matter
of hearty congratulation among his fellow-townsmen and
neighbours.

BAYLEY’S HYDROSTATIC VAN.

The watering of the streets of London is a work of greater
importance than may generally be supposed. It employs, with
a staff of surveyors and inspectors, about 1500 men, and an
equal number of horses and carta. In order to lay the dust
effectually, about 30,000 tons of water must bo spread upon
the streets every dry day. The average number of dry or
“watering” days in the year is from 120 to 130. The total
cost of laying the dust, including the cost of the water, is about
£190,000 per annum, so that every lino day costs London
between £ 1000 and £2000. That this is a wise and necessary
outlay appears from the innumerable letters of com¬
plaint to any vestry whoso contractor is neglecting his
work. Indignant householders tell of tho injury done
to their carpets, furniture, and curtains ; whilo drapers,
butchers, and other tradesmen, speak of their heavy loss from
the destruction of their goods by the dust. It has, too, recently
been proved that the inhaling of dust, and especially tho road
dust of towns, mixed as it is with decaying refuse of animal
and vegetable matter, is most injurious to health. The foul
smells of which the inhabitants of Belgravia are now complain¬
ing are proved to ariso not from the sewers, as at first sup¬
posed, but from the decomposed filth on the surface of the
roads. When, indeed, the streets arc not properly watered this
impure matter is blown into our faces in the form of a fine,
pungeut powder. This, as Professor Tyndall has pointed out,
may he, arid doubtless is, the causo of great injury to tho public
health. We hope that the Government will insist on tho
vestries attending moro vigorously to tho suppression of the
plague of dust.

Our Illustration represents the new hydrostatic van designed
wd patented by Air. E. H. Bay ley, of the Steam Wheel works,

Newington-causeway. It was introduced last year, and it has
now become quite a familiar object iu tho streets in every part
of London. It is evidently a great success. The printed
official reports of the parishes where it has been used show* that
not only have the streets been better watered, but the cost of
w atei ing has been largely reduced, as little more than half the
usual number of horses aud men need be engaged. Although
containing nearly twice as much water as a common water-cart,
one horse can work it easily, being relieved from the weight of
the shafts, and from the constant jolting and jerking
produced by the swaying to and fro of the water.
The distributing ajjparatus is constructed on scientific
principles; the result being that the water is spread
more widely, so that the van wall generally do as much
work in one journey as an ordinary water-cart in two. The
parish authorities have not been slow to perceive the practical
gain from this fact, that one third of the horses and men now
required can be dispensed with. The saving to the metropolis
by the substitution of Bayley’s vans for the present unsightly
water-carts will amount to about £30,000 per annum. A further
advantage is that, as the van itself is not so wide as a common
water-cart and a smaller number are required, the street traffic
is materially relieved. The vans are ornamental in appearance,
&3 shown in our Illustration. They are superior iu every
respect to the old-fashioned carts they are destined to supersede.

THE LATE LORD MAYO.

Two years have passed since the hand of a murderous ruffian,
at tho convict station in the Andaman Isles, deprived the
British Indian empire of one of its best chief rulers. The
native princes, nobles, and people of that vast dominion cherish
his memory with a constant regard. His widow, tho other
day, while in London before departing for the Continent, re-
. ceived from one of those Indian Princes a testimonial of the
esteem felt for her lamented husband.

Kuppoorfchulla or Kuppoorthala, between Loodiana and
Umritiir, in the Punjaub, is one of the best-governed States
under native rule. The present Rajah-i-Rajgan of Kuppoorthala
is son of the Rajah who behaved so gallantly and loyally to
the Queen and the British Government during tho mutiny of
1857. That Prince rendered great services, putting himself at
the head of his army and marching with his troops and guns
some hundreds of miles to confront the enemy. Ho was pre¬
sent at the siege of Lucknow, having placed himself and his
troops under the orders of Brigadier-General Sir Hope Grant.
Tiie General presented him with a gun taken from the enemy
(which tho Rajah has Quartered in his arms) for his gallant
conduct in several hard-fought battles. This gallant Rajah
was one of the first to receive from her Majesty her order of
Indian knighthood—that of the Star of India. A Portrait and
memoir of him were published in our Journal. He died at
Aden, in1S70, in endeavouring to reach England for the pur¬
pose of doing homage to the Queen. No chief in India has
ever proved himself more loyal, and it is gratifying to find his
son following in his father’s footsteps. The last mail from
Iudia brought news of grand festivities which were held in
Kuppoorthala. at the unveiling by tho Lieutenant-Governor
of the Punjaub of tho statue of the Queen and that of tho late

the orders of his Highness, and consists of the magnificent pearl
and diamond necklace represented in our^ Engraving. The
centre pendant is surmounted by an Earl’s coronet in pearls
and diamonds, with the letter M in diamonds. Tho
two smaller pendants are attached to the necklace
by the lotus flower in diamonds. Within the festoons
are diamond stars of five points. These, with the lotus, are
the principal ornaments of the Order of the Star of India, of
which the late Earl held the Grand Cross. Depending from the
centre ornament, and supporting a large and lustrous pearl
drop, is the monogram in diamonds, K.S., which are the initials
of Kharak Singh, the name of his Highness the Rajah. Our
Illustration is one of the actual size.

This necklace lay in the casket, also designed and made by
Messrs. Hunt and Roskell, which is constructed of fine-grained
black ebony with silver mounts, to suit the mourning character
of the memorial. It is octagonal in shape, supported by an
angelic figure at each corner. On the front panel appear the
arms and supporters of the late Earl, encircled by the collars of
the Orders of St, Patrick and the Star of India, with their
respective badges. The casket is surmounted by the arms and
supporters of the Rajah, artistically carved in silver. The front
panel of the lid bears the following inscription:—

and Governor-General of India. Feb. 8, 1872.”

ROYAL INSTITUTION LECTURES,

SOLID PARTICLES IN THE ATMOSPHERE.

Mr. Walter Noel Hartley, F.O.S., devoted liis fourth and con¬
cluding lecture, on Thursday week, to the examination of the
solid particles found in the atmosphere, which vary with every
locality, consisting of three kinds of matter—mineral, car¬
bonaceous or organic, and living. Mineral particles, such as
common salt crystals, abound near the sea ; while in air near
towns arc found minute fragments of starch, woody fibre,
sulphate of soda, multitudes of organisms (such as spores of
microscopic fungi) noxious gases, and offensive organic matters.
The presence of the last is easily detected by passing tho air
through Condy’s liquid (very dilute acidulated per-inanganato
of potash), by means of which the air of different places may
be accurately compared. The dust in the air, Mr. Hartley
said, has led to much discussion and may be said to have laid
the foundation of the mistaken belief in the spontaneous gene- #
ration of living things advocated, in the sixteenth century, by
Van Helmont, who gave a receipt for making mice out of saw¬
dust ; and by Paracelsus, who described tho production of a
scorpion from a leaf placed between two bricks; while to-day Dr.
C. Bastian believes he has obtained microscopic fuDgi from lifeless
carbonaceous and nitrogenous matter. The error of thinking
that flesh and cheese are converted into maggots was detected
by Redi in 1638 ; and his experiments are practically repre¬
sented by our own wire-gauze dish-covers. In 1854 Schrceder
and Dasch proved that organic infusions can be preserved
after boiling, provided that the air admitted to them lias
been filtered through cotton wool; and in 1S62 Pasteur
| published tho results of all previous investigations, sup¬
plemented by those obtained by himself. This series
of brilliant researches Mr. Hartley illustrated at some length
by various experiments, proving the existence of multitudes of
living organisms in ordinary air, and that easily putreacible
liquids are unaffected by air if these organisms are not present.
He also exhibited several flasks filled with liquids two years
ago. In some the liquid was bright and colourless ; while iu
others, treated in the same way, except that the ordinary air
had been admitted, tho liquids were a mass of corruption of a
dark brown colour. He then exhibited the action of (lust on
supersaturated solutions. A gallon flask of sulphate of soda
rapidly uncorked became a solid mass of crystal instantly, and
a flask of such a solution stoppered merely by cotton wool
crystallised when the wool was removed. Some of this solution
in a cylinder was unaffected when a recently-heated glass rod
was placed in it, but it became a solid mass when the rod wn
passed through the fingers and again introduced. Certain it is,
said Mr. Hartley, that solid particles cause this crystallisation ;
and very probable it is that these particles are minute crystal*
of 8oda-8s5ts floating in the air. Finally, he described his own
experiments, published in tho Proceedings of the Royal Society
for 1872, and explained tho method of using his apparatus,
showing that some of his tubes had kept free from change until
the present time.

GALILEO AND THE INQUISITION.

Air. Sedley Taylor, M.A., at the evening meeting on
Friday, May 8, gave a discourse on 44 An Historical Enigma iu
the Trial of Galileo before the Inquisition.” He began by
stating that, in consequence of new evidence having been
recently brought to light, the verdict of historians in reference
to the condemnation of Galileo must be reversed. The
approved opinion had hitherto been that the Inquisition, what¬
ever might be thought of the wisdom of its proceedings, had an
undoubted right to act as it did. It must henceforth be held
that Galileo was entitled, even on the strictest interpretation
of his constitutional obligations, to an absolute acquittal. Id
B upport of this view, which had been originated and
developed independently by two Continental inquirers, Herr
Wohlwill, of Hamburg, and Professor Gherardi, of Florence*
Mr. Taylor adduced documents, published within the last eiri lt
years in France and Italy, illustrating them by copious
references to decrees of the Roman tribunals, private
letters. of Galileo, and other previously known evidence.
Following closely on the Bteps of his German authority, th*
speaker maintained that a glaring contradiction, which bo
designated as the 44 enigma ” of the trial, existed in the find
sentence of the Inquisition with respect to the very print on
which Galileo was ultimately convicted. The clue thus P rc ’
sented led. necessarily to the conclusion that a certain entry ip
the records of the Holy Office, which constituted the sole evi*
denco on which the Court could assert the fact of Galilee o

during the progress of his researches. As the size of the solar
system naturally enters into the discussion of the subject, and
as a special interest attaches just now to the study of dimen¬
sional astronomy, in consequence of the plans in operation tor
an attack this year, and in 18S2, upon the fundamental problem
of aatrouomical measurement, Mr. Proctor devoted his firs-
lecture to a description of the methods by which men nave
gradually learned the proportions of the solar system and the
scale on which its various parts are constructed, in doing which
he was aided by large diagrams. Beginning with the deter¬
mination of the moon’s distance by the aucients, and touching
briefly on their attempts to measure the distance of the sun, he
proceeded to show how the proportions of the solar system (but
not its size) had become known lone before the tunc of Newton.
The determination of the size of the sol^r system from the ob¬
servations of Venus in transit over the sun was next considered ;
and this was followed by an account of other methods, such as
the observation of Mars, the study of that particular perturba¬
tion of the moon's motions depending on tho sun h distance, and
the measurement of the velocity of light. As these methods^have
vh nvn beyond dispute that the solar distance (about 95,000,000
miles) estimated from the observations of the transit of V enus
in 1709, is largely in excess of the truth, great interest attaches
to the observations to be made during the transit of Venus this
year and in 1882. Having described the plans adopted by the
astronomers of various nations for the observations of the
transit this year, Mr. Proctor remarked that it was unnecessary
for him to enter on the consideration of the contest which had
been waged as to the best modes of utilising the opportunities
presented. Now that mistakes had been corrected and the
arrangements had been completed, he said, “all s well that
ends well,” and expressed his opinion that the measures finally
determined on were calculated to lead to tho best results
attainable under the circumstances. In conclusion, he de¬
scribed the method by which the weight of the solar system
may be ascertained.

The physical condition of the planets Mercury, v enus, tho
Earth, and the Moon will be the subject of the second lecture,
to be delivered this day (Saturday).

STRUCTURE AND TUNCTIONS OF T1IE BRAIN.

Professor Rutherford, M.D., in his fifth lecture on the
Nervous System, on Tuesday last, after giving an account of
the structure of the brain, described the observations of disease
and tho experiments by which it has been shown. that the
corpora striata are motor and the optic thalann sensory
ganglia, and that the corpora quadragemina arc ganglia con¬
nected with the movement of the extensor muscles of the
body, and also with the sense of sight. The functions of the
cerebral hemispheres were then entered upon, and the gradual
iucrease in size of the cerebrum with rise in the scale of tho
vertebrates, and its great preponderance in man, w'as pointed
out. Broca’s important observations on aphasia were next con¬
sidered. In this curious disease a person loses the memory of
words. His speech is not paralysed, and he can pronounce
words after he has heard them or seen them. Such a person
understands what is going on around him and what is said to
him ; but if a finger or other well-known object be held before
him and he be asked to name it, he is unable to recall the word.
If, however, the word be supplied to him, either by writing or by
speaking, he can perceive when he has the right word, and
names the object accordingly. This affection is commonly
associated with a disorganised condition on the lower part of
the ascending frontal convolution on the left side of the brain
in persons who are right handed—that is, in persons who use
the left side of the brain more than they do the right; but in
left-handed persons tills affection lias been found associated
with a lesion on. tho right side of the brain. The probable
explanation appears to be that, although the brain is a double
organ, nevertheless in a right handed person it is only the left
hide which Appears to be exercised iu remembering words, and
its activity, therefore, is necessary for the recall of words. It
appears to be the same with tho right side of the organ in a
left-handed person. The precise locality of the memory
of language cannot, however, be said to bo exactly ascertained
as yet; for aphasia has been observed with a lesion of the back
part of the cerebrum. The further consideration of tho cerebral
centres of motion and sensation was deferred until the next
aud concluding lecturo.

Professor W. Kingdon Clifford will give a discourse on the
Education ojf the Pcoplo at the next Friday evening meeting.

Sir Albert Woods, Gaiter Principal King of Arms, has
placed the arms and regalia of the Shah of Persia upon his
stall in the choir of St. George’s Chapel, Windsor, next that of
the Sultan of Turkey, Abdul Aziz Khan.

Captain Glover, who so materially contributed to the suc¬
cess of the expedition to Ashantee, is gazetted to the Grand
Cross of the Order of St. Michael and Sfc. George. Colonel
Fcsting is a Knight Commander of tho same order, and tho fol¬
lowing companions are at the same time announced :—Colonel
Harley, Capt. Fremantle, Deputy-Commissioner Goldsworthy,
Surgeou-Major Rowe, Capt. Sartorius, Lieut. Barnard, Major
Holden, Deputy-Commissary Blissett, and Vice-Admiral Patcy.

On Monday night the Synod of tho United Presbyterian
Church began its annual sittings in Quccn-atreet Hall, Edin¬
burgh. The Rev. Dr. Joseph Brown, Glasgow, the retiring
Moderator, preached the opening sermon. Tho Rev. Dr.
Andrew Thomson, Edinburgh, was unanimously elected
Moderator. On Tuesday tho Synod agreed, by a majority of
185 to 178, to a motion snsj’onding negotiations for uhion
between the Euglish congregations and tho English Pros¬
ha tciLm Church.

The returns of the emigration from Liverpool last month
show that there sailed under the provisions of tho Emigration
Act thirty six ships to the United States, with 12,351 pas¬
sings s; six to Canada, with 2097 passengers; ami two to
Nova Scotia, with 502 passengers. There sailed, not under
the Act, three vessels to Australia, with 10S passengers ;
five to the United States, with 346 passengers ; and to various
other places, ton ships, wdtli 170 passengers. The grand total
is 15 783. This shows a decrease of 17,000 on April, 1873, and
a decrease of 27,350 upon the portion of the present year com¬
pared with the first four months of 1S73.

At the General Synod of the Disestablished Irish Church,
on Thursday week, Mr. Sauuderson’s motion for the abolition
of the two-thirds vote in revision matters was brought forward.
After considerable discussion, the proposition was negatived ;
the voting being :— Clergy —Ayes, 5 ; nocs, 127. Laity—Ayes,
SO ; nocs. 58. It would have required two thirds of each order

to carry this motion-The Synod concluded its session the

following day. On the motion of the Rev. Dr. Riechcl, a reso¬
lution was passed expressing the deep thanks of the Synod to
Mr. lleury Roe for his liberality in restoring and endowing
Christ Church Cathedral and in erecting a hall for the use of
the Synod. It is expected that the Synod will hold its session
in the new hall next year.

CANADIAN CHESS ASSOCIATION.

This association is under the patronage of the Governor-General, Pro¬
fessor J. B. C'.ervimnn, Univ. ColL. Toronto, being the president, and
H. Aspimvall Howe, Esq.-, LL.D., Montreal. J. H. Graham, Esq., St.
John, N.B., J. T. Wvlde, Esq., Halifax, N.S., the vice-presidents. The fol¬
lowing programme has been adopted for tlio third general meeting of
Cana dan chessplayers, to take place in the city of Montreal <m the tirst •
Tuesday of July, 1874. Two tourneys will he held, one for games, the
otli r for problems.

Game Tourney,— Open to all residents of the Dominion, only one
class to be opened. Three prizes to be awarded, one to each of the three
players winning the greatest number of games. Preliminaries to lie
arranged at the meeting by a majority of those entered present. Entrance
feo to non-members of the association, 2 dels. First prize, champion cup,
value f (idols.; second prize, medal, value .30 ilols. ; third prize, set of chess¬
men. valne 10 dols.

Problem Tourney.— For the best two-move problem, 10 dollars,
second 5 dols.: three-move ditto 10 dols., second 6 dols : four-move ditto
lOdols., second 5 dols. Two honorary prizes will bo added, one (value
20 do)*.) for the best *et(i.e., two, three, anil four move problems), and
another (value 10 dol.) for the greatest curiosity of any kind ill chess ; for
both the latter foreign players are invited to compete also. All the pro¬
blems (except the last-named) to be ordmaiy mates, original, aiyl never
before published ; problems in a set (except the winning set) are eligible
for the prizes given to single problems. Competitors may send iu as many
sets or single problems a3 they please. Each competitor to affix a "motto”
to every problem or set sent in, and also to inclose his name and address
in a sealed envelope beating the same motto. All problems compiling to
bo sent as above to J. White, secretary-treasurer of the association,
Stans toad, Que., so as to reach him not later than June 15, 1874. Their
several merits will he decided by a judge or judges to be appointed at the
next congress.

Tho value of tho prizes in the gamo tourney and of supplementary
prizes in tho problem tourney will depend UDon the amount subscribed in
the meantime by clubs anil members generally, and it is at the discretion
of the committee to increase, if possible, the suras named as prizes for
single problems.

Arrangements for the reception of visitors to Montreal attending tho
meeting arc in the hands of the president, secretary, and members of the
Montreal Chess Club, who have already procured the promise of a suitablo
building for the use of the next congress.

CHESS INTELLIGENCE.

With reference to the proposed reform in chess, tho inventor tells us that
nothing is further from his intention than to proposo to abolish the old
form of the game. He believes, however, that his mudUlcatioii may be
of service to beginners by removing the mass of acquired theory and ex¬
perience which separates them from good players, for which tho largest
odds given does not always suffice. If such turns out to be the ca^ ? we
can offer no opposition to the proposal; although we must cordially
assure the beginners in question that the most copious introduction of
new pieces will avail but little in their favour, except in shortening tho
duration of their sufferings.

The Members of the Oxford University Chess Club arc already
hard at work in order to avenge, next year, their late reverse. Two tour¬
naments and several matches and consultation games are in progress. In
t le* ting Prince Leopold as its president for the current term, the club has
obtained not only a distinguished name, but an enthusiastic player also.
His Roynl Highness has entered for one of the tournaments in pro¬
gress, a’nd has recently taken part in some of the other contests.

Oxford and Cambridge Chess Clubs—A very general desire
has been manifested that University chess should bo tested in a
match between some of its chief representatives and an equal
number of players from the City of London Chess Club. At present no
preliminaries have been a-ranged, but we are sure that eight of the strongest
University players—say, Messrs. Rnnkcn, Thorold. Anthony, ami Purratt.
for Oxford ; and Messrs. Way to, Skipworth, E. Walker, and Home for
Cambridge —would give considerable trouble to any eight English players
selected from the champions of tho City dub. It would, of course, be
difficult to secure the attendance of all the University men on one given
day, although they would certainly do tlicir utmost to promote so exciting a
conflict. Such a match, if less attractive to the general public than the
annual rencontre between the undergraduate teams, would naturally afford
more pleasure to connoisseurs and students of tne game, and. in tho
present dearth of matches and tourneys, would bo a godsend to the chess
periodicals.

The South London Chess Club, In connection with the South
London Working Man’s Institute, will be glad to play any provincial
institute or other chess club a gamo by correspondence. Address,
I Mr. Charles G. Barber, hon. sec., 17, Parsonage-walk- Newington-butts,

military service extended over a period of more than half a
century, dating from 1819, when he entered the army ot tho
East India Company. He received medals for tho siege of
Bhurtpore and the affair of Lahore, and was given Hie insignia
of K. C. B. and made a Baronet for his brilliant services at tho
storming and capture of Delhi, the crowning achievement of tho
British Army during the Indian Mutiny. Subsequently Sir
Archdale commanded the whole of the artillery at tho siege

THE ILLUSTRA TED LONDON NEWS.

LONDON, SATURDAY, NAY 1S74.

Tlie defeat aud resignation of the Due do Broglie’s
Cabinet are regarded by public opinion in France as
heralding tlie near approach of- the National Assembly
to dissolution. The state of Parliamentary parties, the
absence of any common ground upon which they may
act together, the constitutional questions which are
before them for settlement, and the course pursued by
the head of the recent Ministry during his twelvemonth’s
possession of power, render it alt but impracticable to
carry on by mams of the present Legislature the govern¬
ment of the country. There Is no political lender able to
command a working majority in Parliament; there is no
party, or section of a party, having a clear pre¬
dominance of votes over the rest in support of
any line of policy which maybe adopted by ‘its chief:
and, iuKilly, there is no sncli accordance between the
Assembly and the constituencies represented by it

nnohr nmnoblpn « ___ • .. J

might embolden a patnotic statesman in an attempt to
reduce Parliamentary chaos to order. To use an expres¬
sive but vulgar phrase, government in France at the
present moment is “ all at sixes and sevens.” The only
fixed point, the sole nucleus of authority, is the
-Septenuatc of Marshal MacMahon. That he will main-

i » . . . , tMn i° rdtr dl ' rul S tlle interregnum and prevent the whole
B.iucB.y i maclunery of government from being swept awav b-
insurrectionary riolence no one doubts. But ov»n be
occupies an abnormal position. As the head of the
Executive power, he is without authoritative guidance
The Legislative Assembly is too divided to adopt ‘
policy; and as yet the Marshal has

right to appeal to

tlms for any great length of time Za Z i***
political obsei-vers seo no solution of the diiK^rif 6 a £ Ute
of consulting the judgment of £c vcont shlrk

> people.

The Due de Broglie may be, and pro i. / is, a imu

of irreproachable motives. It may bo conceded that from
the time of his accession to office to the time when lie
felt compelled to surrender it ho meant well for his
country. It can hardly be denied that his intention* are
.seconded by intellectual abilities considerably above tlie
average. That he has strong prejudices his official career
has incontestably proved. That he is naturally despotic
In bis views, or that lie gives a preference to unrestricted
authority over well-regulated liberty, has not been borne
out by conclusive evidence. It seems probable that he
would have been satisfied to give to France a Constitu¬
tion resembling that which he has learned to venerate in
this country—a Monarchy surrounded and upheld by
free institutions. Unfortunately, whatever may have
been the end which he proposed to himself, lie took but
little note of the character of the means to which ha re¬
sort ed for attaining them. Republicanism was his befce noire.
He recoiled from it, under whatever guise, with horror. He
could not have accepted it, even when imbued with the
most Conservative spirit, and though it should be
thrust upon him by the unmistakable will of the nation"
In regard to this matter, he is, and has been, a thorough
doctrinaire. Government in conformity with certain
propositions—government by formulas—government as
tlie exposition of fixed ideas—appeared to be that at
which he aimed. He thought it best for France, best
for human interests in general. In regard to this he
had no flexibility of will. He aspired to bless his
country with it, whether she would or no. But in the
means which he was ready to employ for carrying out
his object he was less scrupulous. lie ^ zkvm tci
understand how to deal with human nature. Good as
his will may be, he is too ready to enforce it by had
methods; and if he has sympathies which extend
themselves beyond the range of h is fixed ideas, they
lean to Conservatism rather than to freedom, and ara
more apt to run into the methods of absolutism than
into those of trust in the good instincts of the public.

His brief career of power has exhibited an almost
uninterrupted succession of mistakes. He must have
been well aware that in upsetting the Administration of
M. Thiers he was acting*in the teeth of the nation’s
deliberate predilection. The National Assembly, which
lie employed as his instrument, wanted that moral autho¬
rity which might otherwise have consecrated his mission.
Possibly his consciousness of this fact drove him into
needless extremes for maintaining the supremacy he had
won. He started in the wrong direction, and aimed to
justify this mistake by hard running. His wholesale
displacement of Liberal Prefects; his menacing attitude
towards independent municipalities; the overtures of
one of his colleagues with a view to debauch the
provincial press*, his officious interference with occa¬
sional elections *, his scandalous connivance at Legitimist
intrigues; his preparatory efforts for the disfranchise¬
ment of three millions of voters ; his avowed design of
making municipal government the mere creature of
central authority; and his project of so organising
the Septennate as to adapt constitutional machinery to
a Monarchical restoration, irritated public opinion, while
it failed to conciliate and weld together into unity Par¬
liamentary parties. He had more than once a superb
opportunity for statesmanship, aud he invariably missed
it. His mind never comprehended tho breadth of tho
necessity with which he had to deal lie walked the
tight-ropo of politics, placing his dependence upon his
skilful management of the balancing-pole. Now ho
swayed hither, now thither, again and again recovering
himself by setting one Parliamentary party against
another. At length he has failed, and he leaves behind
him no achievement upon which France can look with
present satisfaction, with the single exception of the
establishment of the Septennate.

It was in organising the Constitutional machinery
over the movements of which President MacMnlion ^tn
to preside for the next seven years, but which was in¬
tended to remain in case of his death or resignation
during that interval, that the Due de Broglie met his
fall. And it is instructive to note that he met it on a
point of form rather than of substance. True, tlie public
opinion of France had breathed contempt upon lii 3 three
constitutional bills, and had looked upon them as the
legerdemain by which he intended to filch from the
country the broad bases upon which its political institu¬
tions rest. But, accepting the National Assembly as the
true fount of political authority in France, ho took no
heed of popular disapprobation. The reed upon which
lie leaned broke, however, with the pressure he ppfc up 511
it, and fatally pierced the hand of his power. He insist id
upon taking first into consideration his project of elec¬
toral law. I he Legitimists objected to this arrange*
meat, not because tho measure would have been dis¬
tasteful to them on its own account, but becuna
they had fully persuaded themselves that, the merwur*
K ing once passed, the others would have no chance of
coming under consideration, and a dissolution would
speedily follow. They proposed, therefore, to give
plenty to the bill winch deals with municipal law, aud
they were joined in this by the Bonapartisk who 1**
upon universal suffrage as a sacred Napoleonic insti-
, °!\ f nmjonty of sixty-four, in a very ft

( ecKied the point against the Prime Minister, whose re¬
signation of office was immediately tendered to, aud

sent we pauM) in our comment. What is to follow in the

wake of the last Ministry it is difficult to conjecture.
*Wliat the Due de Broglie could not do, no other Con¬
servative chief can hope to accomplish. It would be
hazardous, however, to predict. A supreme governing
body which holds its life in its own hands can hardly
he expected to hasten the period of its dissolution. The
crib is is full of perplexity. For ourselves, we can only
w atch with anxious curiosity, and see what comes of it.

THE COURT.

T he Queen gave a banquet, on Thursday week, in St. George s
Hall, Windsor Castle, in honour of tlie Emperor of Russia.

“FIGHTING IN THE ASHANTEE FOREST.”

Tho picture by Mr. Louis Desanges, which bears this title, is
now being exhibited at Willis’s Rooms. It has been pimtsd,
as we explained last week, for the proprietors of th ? Illustrated
London xVeu*. They felt it duo to the occasion, with the great
public interest shown, in every way, in the recent campaign on
the Gold Coast, that the materials for its illustration, furnished
bv their Special Artist’s sketches, should be applied to produce
a considerable work of art. Mr. Desanges has, in designing
this work, had tho advantage of Mr. Melton Prior s assistance,
referring to the original sketches taken by Mr. 1 nor on tho
spot, and consulting him upon actual matters of detail.

The painting is of large size, 1 i ft. by 10 ft., and is charac¬
terised by a bold and effective stylo. The action represented
is that of Sir Garnet Wolseley, accompanied by several officers
of his staff and others, in regimental command or upon special
service, directing the “Black Watch,” or 42ad Roy id High¬
landers, in their conflict with an unseen host of Ashautee3, who
lurk in the surrounding bush. The soldiers, in the background, are
mostly kneeling to take aim with their breech-loading rifles, or
to evade the shower of slugs with which they are assailed.
One has fallen w ounded, and two native hammock-bearer3 are
creeping forward to lift and carry him to the rear. In the
foreground, over wffiich tho light is supposed to have raged a
few minutes before, lie tlie dead bodies of two Ash mice
warriors, Btark and grim, with musket, sword, and powder-
pouch scattered among the fern. A fetish apparatus of crossed
sticks and a fetish placard affixed on tho trunk of a tree bear
witness to the futility of their heathen superstitions, in winch
they had trusted to repel the advancing British troops.

Sir Garnet Wolseley, clad like the rest in the simple grey
tunic and white sun-helmet, stands with notebook in hand,
giving an order to Colonel Greaves, Chief of the Stiff. An
aide-de-camp, Captain tho Hon. H. L. Wood, is posted close
behind, with a favourite dog. Lord Gifford, sitting to rest after
a long scouting walk through the forest, takes a cup of water
from the hands of his black servant. Colonel Sir John
M'Leod, Major Scott, and Major Farquharson, all of tho
42nd, aro introduced in this picture; also the lamented
Major Baird, of the same regiment, borne to the
rear wounded. With his pencil aud sketchbook, in the
diligent pursuit of his vocation, Mr. Melton Prior, Special
Artist of the Illustrated London i\ r ewt, is seen hovering on the
skirts of the battle. All these are good portraits of the men,
who sat to Mr. Desanges on purpose.

A startling incident may be perceived to happen among tho
trees in the background. One of the Ashautees, who had
climbed on a tree, aud had been left up there when his com¬
rades were driven off this ground, was just now detected firing
from above at one of our officers. A shot has brought him
tumbling headforemost dowm : strange fruit of the wild African
forest!

The picture is one for our readers to go and see ; they will
appreciate its epic truth, as expressing the very spirit,
tho motives, and sensations that characterised the mast
exciting actions and experiences of the late campaign. It is
not, like the Engravings we publish from week to wreck, exactly
copying Lhe sketches wo received, an attempt to present, with
minute accuracy, the precise figures assembled at acertaiu moment,
at sonic particular spot, or to report their individual gestures.
The design baa rather been that of a more artistic conception,
fusing into one whole the several incidents and detached
features of a connected scries of actions, extending probably
through four or five days of marching aud lighting, from tho
battle-field of Amoaful to the captured city of Oootnaisie.

Nearly a hundred of Mr. Trior’s original sketches, which
have been engraved for this Journal, are open to inspection
with the large painting. The collection also of Ash an tee
utensils, weapons, ornaments, articles of dress, and other
curious objects, enumerated in our last, will be found welt
worth examining at Willis’s Rooms.

The Hon. Eliot Constantine Y r orke, M.P., sort of the late

A railway accident is reported from Merthyr Tydvil, by
which more than forty persons have been injured. The disaster
was occasioned by a number of mineral-waggons becoming de¬
tached from their engine, and running back on an incline till

The United Presbyterian Synod, at their meeting, held on
Thursday week, in Edinburgh, unanimously agreed to memo¬
rialise the Government to disestablish and disendow the
Churches of England aud Scotland, and to petition against all
legislative proposals in reference to patronage in the Church of
Scotland, except as a part of a final measure for the disestab¬
lishment aud disendowment of that Church.

The number of emigrants (natives of Ireland) who left that
country during the first four months of tlie present year was
22,429, of wffiom 13,332 were males aud 9097 wore females.
The total number of emigrants in the corresponding period of
1873 was 31,992, The total emigration from Irclaud since
May 1, 1851 (the date at which the collection of the returns
commenced) to April 30,1S74,was 2,275,174 persons*

In conscqucnee of the indisposition of Dr. Kenealy, tho
inquiry ordered by tho Benchers of Gray’s Inn respecting the
conduct of the learned counsel wffiile acting as tho leading ad¬
vocate for the Tichborno claimant has been postponed to

July 18.-By the preamble of the Tichbome and Doughty

Estates Bill, wffiicli has been road the first timo in the House
of Lords, it appears that the expenses of the litigation occa¬
sioned by “ the Claimant’s ” proceedings, and payable by tho
present Baronet, or, in the event of hia death daring minority,
by the family out of the estates, have amounted already to
nearly £92,000. These are exclusive of the expanses of the
prosecution for perjury, which have to be borne by tho country.
A Treasury return indicates the probable cost to the country of
the trial. The expenditure up to April 11 w^as £49,815 ; and
outstanding liabilities on account of witnesses, agency, and
printing, are estimated at £5500 : making a total of £53,315.

THE CZATI’S VISIT TO ENGLAND.

The visit of his Imperial Majesty Alexander II., Czar of the
Russian empire, and father of her Royal Highness the Duchess
of Edinburgh, has been an occasion of general public con¬
gratulation m this country. Several of the conspicuous inci¬
dents which took place on his arrival and during his stay among
us are made subjects of our Illustrations in the present issue,
beginning with those of the arrival on Wednesday week.

It had been arranged that the landing should take place at
Gravesend, where the Duchess of Edinburgh, his beloved
daughter, landed two months ago with her newly-married
husband. The Czar had on the night before (Tuesday night)
gone on board his splendid yacht, the Derjava, in the Dutch

port of Flushing. By this vessel, had there been no unforeseen
accident, his Imperial Majesty would have reached Gravesend
on the Wednesday forenoon. The usual preparations were
made at Gravesend to receive a traveller of the highest rank.
The Terrace Pier was decorated with scarlet cloth, flags, and
artificial flowers. The ships and small vessels in the river,
H.M.S. Triumph, the Russian corvette Vitiaz, an Admiralty
yacht, and the Faraday telegraph-ship were dressed with all
their colours. At the railway station, too, on the platform
where the Czar was to enter the train for Windsor, there was a
beautiful array of flowers and other ornaments. The Russian
Ambassador, Count Brunnow, with the chamberlain, secre¬
taries, and other members of the embassy, was at Gravesend
that morning, to meet his Imperial master. His Royal High¬

ness Prince Arthur, with other officers of the 7th Hus^
came from Maidstone, arriving at .eleven o’clock. The May*
and corporation of Gravesend, half an hour before, met in (i*
Townhall to go to the landing pier ; but a telegram hem tk*
Admiralty was then put into the Mayor’s hands, informing hi®
of a disappointment. The Czar was not coming to Grav^en?
The Imperial yacht had run upon a mud-bank in the mouth f
the Scheldt, near Flushing, and had stuck there all night. ?!
would be needful to save time by making for Dover instead
entering the Thames. When this was understood there waa J
time lost in making the best of it. A telegram was sent to
London by the Mayor, Mr. Lake, to warn their Royal rJ*
nesses the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of EkUaWL'
Prince Arthur, with the Russian Ambassador, went ©n ^

At Dover, meantime, the news of the Czar’s unexpected
approach was brought from Flushing at ten o’clock, by Captain

ly ss the Duke of Edinburgh, to meet the Czar, and to accom-
} any him to our shores.

THE ILLUSTRATED LO NDON NEWS

MAY 23, 1S74

It was m arlv half-past six before the Dcrjava came along¬
side the pier. She is a large vessel of 3000 tons, drawing 19 ft,
but with sides high out of the water. She was built in Russia
two y< ars age, and her engines are of Russian manufacture.
Her lilting up is sumptuous, with fine wood carvings and rich
antique hangings. It is said that she has cost £450,000. She
was brought fr«m Crousta.lt to Flushing, the week before last,
on purpose to convey the Czar across tho Channel. On her pert
or left-hand side, as she approached the pier, was the Galatea ;
on her starboard side was the Dutch steamer; the Livaiia

brought up the rear. _ , ... .

The Czar and one of hi3 younger sons, the Grand Duke

Alexis, with the Duke of Edinburgh, were on the paddle-box of
the Dervaja. His Imperial Majesty wore the green-and-gold
uniform oi a Russian General, with a high-plumed helmet, the
plumes red and white. The Grand Duke Alexis and the Duke
of Edinburgh wore their naval uniforms. The Duchess of

the Czar on the quarter-deck of his yacht. Lord Torrington,
General Sir Francis Seymour, and Lord Charles Fitzroy were
appointed to w ait upon him.

Sending the Emperor's luggage ashore, .and putting it in the
railway train, occupied nearly an hour. His Majesty then dis¬
embarked, followed by the Princes, and, with his daughter on
his arm, walked to tho saloon carriage. A Royal salute was
fired by the Castle batteries, the crowd cheered, and the regi¬
mental bands played the Russian National Anthem. At the
door of the railway carriage stood the Mayor and Corporation
officers of Dover. His Worship presented to the Czar an ad¬
dress of welcome. This was accepted by liis Majesty without
reading it; he bowed to the Mayor and thanked him.

The special train, conveying the Czar and their Imperial
and Royal Highnesses, started from Dover at twenty minutes
past seven. Sir Edward Watkin, chairman of the South-

and tho Duke of Cambridge. A special train on the Groat
Weston Railway, in which wero Sir D. Gooch, the chairmm,
rnd Messrs. Grierson, Keightley, and Higgins, officials of that
line, conveyed the Royal party. The Czar and Princes wore
their unifoime. At Paddington the train was received by the
ceputy chaiiman and secretary of the Great Western. There

•was a guard of honour of the Grenadier Guards. His Majesty

Buckingham Palace. The Czar, the Prince of Wales, the Duke
of Edinburgh, and the Grand Duke Alexis were in the first
carriage. In the second were the Princess of Males, the
Duchess of Edinburgh, Prince Arthur, and the Duke of
Cambridge. With an escort of Horse Guards (Blue) they drove
across Hyde Park and down Constitution-hill, reaching
Buckingham Palace a few minutes before noon.'

The° Czar was received here by Earl Beauchamp, Lord
Steward; the Marquis of Hertford, Lord Chamberlain; and
other high officers of the Queen’s household. The Earl of
Bradford, Master of the Horse, had met him at Paddington.
There was a guard of the Scots F usiliera in the courtyard, and
the Yeomen of the Guard, under Lord Skelmersdale, in the
hall. An hour after liis arrival the Czar received all the foreign
Ambassadors in the Bow Drawing-Room. The Cabinet Ministers
of the present and late Governments were afterwards received
by him, and several other noblemen and gentlemen. At four
o’clock the Czar and his Bon, and the Duke of Edinburgh, in a
close carriage and pair, with one mounted police officer in
attendance, went out to pay a few private visits. They stayed
above half an hour with the Prince and Princess of Wales at
Marlborough House, and saw the children. They next drove
to Gloucester House, Park-laue, but the Duke of Cambridge
was not at home. A visit wa3 then paid to the Marquis of
Lome and Princess Louise, at Argyll Lodge, Campleu-
bill, but they, too, were out. The Duke and Duchess of
Teck (Princess Mary) were found at home at Kensington
Palace. After this, the Emperor and Princes went to
Claridge’s Hotel, Bond-street, where the Comte de Paris was
staying. The Czar had a ten minutes’ conversation w*ith his
Royal Highness, the heir to the French House of Orleans.
On his way from Kensington to Bond-street, the Czar saw
the Prince Consort Memorial in Hyde Park, and tho Ring
and Rotten-row full of company. In the evening, his Majesty
dined with the Prince and Princess of Wales at Marlborough
House. He afterwards‘went with them to a ball given at
Stafford House by the Duke and Duchess of Sutherlaud.

The Emperor on Saturday morning at eleven went to Cbisel-
hurst, with his son, to visit the widowed Einpresi Eugenio.

He got back to London between twelve and one ; then went to
see the Houses of Parliament and Westminster Abbey. Tbs

Lord Chancellor, the Speaker, and the Dean of Westminster,
at those places respectively, met his Majesty. Hejunched at
Buckingham Palace; and started at five o’clock for the Crystal
Palace, with the Piince and Princess of Wales, the Duke and
Duchess of Edinburgh, and a numerous suite.^ They went in
twelve open carriages by the high road, over Vauxhall Bridge,
and through Stockwell and Clapham, with an escort of the
6th Dragoon Guards. Hia Majesty and thoir ltoj'al Highnesses
wore plain morning dress ; the Princesses were in blue, the
one dark blue, the other light. They were received at the
Crystal Palace by Mr. T. Hughes, chairman of the Crystal
Palace Company, Mr. Wilkinson, general manager, and Major
Flood Page, secretary.

A reception pavilion, with retiring-chambers, had been
erected at the north nave entrance. Its entrance was hung
with crimson curtains edged with bullion. Banks of roses were
on each ride of the doorway. The interior was of white muslin
over light blue. Statues, vases, pictures, and a profuse and
tasteful display of various flowers, with ferns iu the vestibule,
and suspended llower-baskets overhead, made these apartments
very charming. Their furniture, too, was of the richest ma¬
terial and most elegant design. In the dining-saloon, which
adjoins the Queen’s corridor, was a superb service of gold plate
made for the Emperor Francis II. of Austria, and the tables
were set iu tplendid order.

The Emperor, Princesses, and Princes, arriving at six
o’clock, were at once conducted up the nave to the Royal boxes
prepared for them, upon the stage of the theatre in tho central
south transept, opposite, the . Handel orchestra. The floor
beneath, the orchestra benches, and the galleries, were com¬
pletely filled with company. The Russian llymn was por¬
t'd mtd by the combined force of eleven military bauds. His
Majesty sat between the Princess of Wales, ou his right hand,
and his daughter, on the other side of him. The Russian and
English Hags, suspended from the galleries above, bore token
of this occasion. There wa3 a grand concert Of choice music,
which had begun at half-past four. The first part was over
before the illustrious visitors came. The remaining part in¬
cluded “Home, sweet home,” sung by Mdlle. Titiens;
“ Ob, ruddier than the cherry,” by Sautley; a song by Madams
Patey ; and several well-known compositions of Handel, Men-
delssohu, Rossini, and Meyerbeer, performed by 2500 London
members of the Handel Festival Choir, with the powerful
instrumental bands. The Emperor was greatly pleased, and
had Mr. Manns, the conductor, introduced to him. His
Majesty sent a message by telegraph to tho Queen, sayiug how
much he liked his welcome in Loudon. He got an answer
from her Majesty during the concert. Ho sent another
telegram to the Empress, at St. Petersburg.

After the conceit, the Emperor and their Imperial and
Royal Highnesses stood a few minutes ou the balcony over
looking the gardens, and saw the great fountains play. This
is the Beene represented in our Extra Supplement Large
Engraving. His Majesty and party then dined in the state
saloons, where tables were laid for a hundred guests. With
the Emperor and Grand Duke, at the high table, were the two
Piincesses, the English and German Princes, the Earl o
Bradford, and several of the Russian nobles. At nine o’clock
in the evening they again came out on the balcony, and saw
the display of firew orks, which was extremely brilliant. The
great fountains were set playing in the light of 600 Roman
can tiles. There was a “ cascade of golden lire,” and a con¬
cluding blaze of 1600 coloured rockets. The Emperor and
party got back to London about half-past ten.

Their Sunday was passed in tolerable quiet. In the morn*
ing, with liis son and daughter, the Emperor attended Divine
worship at the Russian .Embassy Chapel in Welbeek-street.
At one o clock, joined by the Duke of Edinburgh, they went,
by the Great Western Railway, and in plain attire, to Windsor,
and there lunched at the Castle, with the Queenjand Princess
Beatrice. On their return to London, they dined privately at
Chiswick with the Prince and Princoss of Wales.

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS

FOREIGN AND COLONIAL NEWS,

FRANCE.

(From our Correspondent in Paris.

Thursday, May 21.

The Government of Moral Order has succumbed before an
tfivute vote of tho Assembly, and its downfall lias been
u reived with a general feeling of satisfaction throughout
France. A twelvemonth ago, when the Due dc Broglie
am ined office under Marshal MacMahon, we were told tuat
bis ] atonal sway would speedily restore public confidence,
st initiate commerce and industry, and crush for ever the hate¬
ful hydra of ; nareby ; instead of which his tortuous policy has
been productive of general discontent. Instead of having
established that “moral order ” which he boastfnlly announced
he kttnded to confer on France, he retires leaving behind him
political anarchy. The brief debate, on Saturday last, which
culminated in his resignation and that of his colleagues, was
opened by M. Batbie, reporter of the Committee of Thirty,
w ho called upon the Assembly to place the new electoral law
on the order of tho day — a proposition rejected by the
Extreme Right, who, for obvious reasons, demanded that
the municipal law should be the first of the new Lonsti-
tuticnalnieasnrcs discussed. The Prime Minister, maccordance
with liis previously-expressed intention, sided with the Com¬
mittee of Thirty, and in a brief but singularly straightforward
declaration formally imparted to the coming division the cha¬
racter of a vote of confidence. Tho Assembly, eager for the
vote to be taken at once, divided, and, tho Extreme Right and
the Bonapartists allying themselves with tho Left, the Govern¬
ment w as defeated by a majority of sixty-four votes.

From that moment dl was confusion at Versailles. The
Cabinet met at the President’s, and handed in their resignations
to the Marshal, who accepted them, and sent for M. de Goulard--
nn Orleanist and Minister of the Interior last year, under M.
Thiers—to form a new Ministry. After strenuous efforts a
new Cabinet has been formed, the chief men in it being M. de
Goulard and the Due Decazes.

The ■present ciisia l\utj demonstrated move plainly than ever
the necessity for dissolving the National Aasombly. The three
groups of the Left have come to an understanding on the point,
and have resolved to direct all their efforts to accomplish so
desirable a result. On the other hand, it is rumoured that the
leader of the Extreme Right, M. de Belcastel, has had -an inter¬
view* with Marshal MacMahon and communicated to the Presi¬
dent iiie intention of bringing forward a proposition for the
re-estabJLLniint of tho Monarchy. Should the Assembly
reject this pi op c sal, the Extreme Right are resolved, x it is said,
to vote with the Left for the dissolution.

The fall of the De Broglie Ministry has been attended by
numerous resignations. The Under Secretaries of State for the
Interior and Finances have retired with their patrons into pri¬
vate life. The Due do la Rochefoucauld-Biaaccia, French
Ambassador at London, bas also resigned, and so have M de
Chaudordy, French Envoy at Bemo, and M. Target, Consul-
General at Amsterdam, the latter a Republican renegade,
whose defection on May 24, 1873, contributed not a little to
hi. Thiers’s overthrow. AT Monday’s sitting of the Assembly,
when he mounted the tribune to announce that if he had
been present on Saturday he should have voted for the Duo
dc Broglie, his voice w as drowned by repeated shouts of “Back
to the Hague ! ” which speedily compelled him to retire.

A considerable sensation has been caused in the Paris
gravd menuh by the report of a quarrel between the Princesse
de Mettornich and Count Joan de Montebello, a former func¬
tionary of the Second Empire, but who since, the famous 4th
of September lias entirely dissociated himself from the Bona-
rartist party. The Princess, meeting the Count at a ball,
declined to salute him, giving a3 her reason that she did not
salute those who betrayed their benefactors. On the following
day the Count sent his seconds to the Princo do Metternich to
demand a reparation by arms for tho insult. The Prince at
once consented to fight the Count, but declined to admit
that he was responsible for what Madame do Metternich,
said at a ball, at winch he was not even present. Considering
himself entitled to select tho weapons, he decided to chooso the
pistol, but was w illin g that M. de Montebello should fix tho
number of shots to be exchanged. M. de Montebello’s seconds
have refused to accept these conditions, and, as yet, it remains
undecided whether the duel will be fought or not.

In addition to his political troubles, Marshal MacMahon is
threatened with a domestic affliction. The Dachesae de
Castries, the mother of tho Duchesse de Magenta, is danger¬
ously ill.

Death continues to thin the ranks of the National Assembly.
Two members of the Right Centre have died this week—M.
Pcrrot, deputy of the Oise, and Count dc Brigode, deputy of tho
Nord.

Not a day passes by without the newspapers registering
numerous suicides in Paris and the provinces. In former times
the French were fond of reproaching Englishmen with an undue
partiality for self-destruction, but nowadays the palm would
certainly seem to belong to them* Among the suicides chronicled
this week, one may mention that of M. Theodore Cassague. a
well-known x>ainter ot historical subjects, as well as that of M.
Henri do Trassac de Bierncs, the last descendant of a noble
family illustrious under the reign of Louis XIU., who appe-ars
to have destroyed himself through abject want.

SPAIN.

Marshal Serrano returned on Sunday evening to Madrid.
General Pavia has announced his resignation of the Captain-
Generalship of that city. In a manifesto which it has issued to
the nation the new Government declares that only in case of
unjustifiable aggression will it use the means at its disposal for
the maintenance of public order.

Conflicting though tho reports respecting the fighting in
Spain continue to be, it appears certain that Marshal Concha
is moving forw ard in pursuit of the Carlists without cncounter-
) »g serious opposition. There has been a severe skirmish near
Bilbao. The Car fist troops fortified the Archanda heights, and
at first they forced the Republicans back ; but, reinforcements
arriving, tho Carlists were repulsed with severe los 3 , including
thirty prisoner.-. Of the Republican troops nearly one hundred
were killed and wounded. The mail-coach from Bilbao was
stopped on Tuesday, in Somorrostro, by Carlists. Some bands
have made their appearance close to Castro Ur diale 3 . There in
a strong force of Carlists on the frontier of the province of
Burgos. The northern army is advancing to relievo Vittoria.
It is reported at Barcelona that Brigadier Despujols has lost
CCO ir.cn at Cantavieja through a stratagem of the Carlists, who
feigned a tui render. A Carlist council of war has been held at
Durango and important resolutions adopted. One was to send
fresh troops into Navarre, and tho other to make further
purchases of arms and guns in England.

where another series of festivities began. The ltoyal entry,
yesterday week, is stated to have been most stately and pic¬

composed of young nobles and burghers. The procession in¬
cluded all the civil and military authorities, the trade guilds,
ard the civic guard. Every street was decorated, and illu¬
minations were universal throughout the town. A banquet was
given to the King or Tuesday evening by tho municipality of
the Hague at the watering-place of Scheveningen. The King
and Queen, the Princes, the Ministers, and the diplomatic body
w<rc present. The Bnrgomastor proposed a toast to tho house
of Orange, and the King, in reply, drank “The Prosperity of
the Capital.” His Majesty then proposed “ The Health of tho
Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Saxc-Weimar.”

The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg has presented the King
with a silver shield of very elaborate workmanship, and the
Society of Dutch Artists has presented his Majesty with a
collection of valuable paintings by the most celebrated modern
Dutch artists.

On Thursday the King was to proceed to Rotterdam to take

AUSTRO-HUNGARY.

In the Austrian Delegation of the Reichsrath the naval
estimates w'ere passed after animated discussion. One of the
most keenly-disputed items was the vote for the proposed new
ironclad, to be named after Admiral Tegothoff. The Austrian
Delegation concluded the discussion of the extraordinary
estimates on Tuesday. Altogether, a sum of 4,600,000 florins
was agreed to, 1,400,000 florins being struck out. Tho only
item which gave rise to much debate wa3 one for continuing
the construction of fortifications at Przemysl. The Delegation,
in accordance w r ith the proposals of tho committee, decided to
strike cut this item.

The Lower House of the Hungarian Diet adopted the loan
bill, on Tuesday, by a large majority ; and on Wednesday the

INDIA*

According to the weekly telegram Rom the Viceroy of India
respecting the famine, more rain was much required. There
w r as no indication of any general deficiency of food supply. No
severe famine was felt, because relief had prevailed over famine,
and no change for the worse had taken place in the condition
of the people. In the w 7 orst parts of Tirhoot there had been
a marked improvement in their apparent condition. Every¬
where endeavours were being made to substitute piecework
for daily payments. 2,190,000 persons received assistance
from Government in the last week of April. No fresh deaths
from starvation had been reporter!.

The Times' correspondent telegraphs that reports to Satur¬
day represent tho recent sowings as withered in several dis¬
tricts. ^ The country is imploring rain. The distress is
increasing in Sarun. Sir It. Temple has purchased seed grain
for prompt distribution. Tho Tirhoot reserve of 120 officers
has been warned for relief service in Bengal when required.

According to the Daily J\ r eivs telegram, Sir Richard Temple

A famine is apprehended in Morocco. Tho spring crops had
failed all along the north, and a deficiency in the late rains will

SKETCHES IN PARLIAMENT.

In point of personal appearance there is nothing to distinguish
wliat ai e called the working-men members from other repre¬
sentatives of the people. There are many gentlemen in the House
who, fromtheirungamliness and carelessness of dress, might con¬
ventionally be supposed to be the working-men members; and per¬
haps some people have expected that those personages should
appear in, so to speak, their official costume of fustian and pea-
jacket. The fart ia that they are both neat iu their persons; and
one of them, at least, is, to use a common phrase, drossy. Both
of them have now given formal tastes of their quality. Mr.
Macdonald had spoken very brmfly in moving for some returns
before the debate on the household franchise in counties ; but
Mr. Hurt had not broken silence. In that discussion the latter
member came out with a predeterminate speech, and without
question he made a great impression, lie is tiuenfc, nervous in
his language, and vigorous and practical in his arguments, and
it ia only when lie gets ardent that a north-.countiy accent
becomes conspicuous. In fact, there are mighty manufacturer-
members who develop a more decided and even a more vulgar
accent. In the samo debate Mr. Macdonald spoke at length ;
but it can hardly be said that he was equally successful. H8
wants tile iris virida of Mr. Burt, is rather slow of speech, and
exhibits no elocution ; but be seemed to be equally in earnest,
and to bo practical and sensible in his views.

Anyone, reviewing the proceedings in the House must be
struck by tho circumstance that Irish discussions are perpetual
and pervading- Generally, even the most pronounced of
Nationalists and Home-Rulers are the most polite and
deferential to the House, and are profuse of bows and other
signs ci courtesy. There has, however, been an outbreak or
two, nnd one was notable, which, however, was provoked by an
English member. Tho subject was the vote for the Qaeen 3
racing plates. Long ago the Scotch refused to accept thi*
grant of public money, and it has been struck out of the Esti¬
mates ; and now Mr. Anderson, who, it cannot exactly be said
why, is a provoking personage, moved that th8 grant to
Ireland should be cut off. This, being absolutely a taking
of £1500 a year of the public money from the sister king¬
dom, naturally roused the indignation of those gentlooion whose
Parliamentary business it is to get as much as possible out of
the general funds of the nation for the particular delectation of
their country ; and there was immense clangour and sneering
at Scotland and the Scotch. This had gone on for so long that
it was no wonder that impartial lookers-on should have become
wearied at a clamour evolved from such a small cause j and so
Mr. Bulwcr, the new Conservative member for Ipswich, inter¬
vened, and, with a tone of cutting contempt, each word
dropping slowly from his lips, congratulated the Irish members
on their elephantine capacity for vituperation, nothing being
too high or too low for tho exercise of that facility. If this
was, ns of course it was, intended to sting the Irish members
deeply, it was completely successful. Mr. Sullivan, who has
made himself a general favourite by the humour and good-
liumour of his speeches, dashed aside all tho deference and
courtesy above alluded to, of which he had been a prime pro¬
fessor, and appeared much more in the character that may
be supposed "to belong to a conspicuous chief in the Irish
national press than he had hitherto allowed himself to develop.
To be sure, it was an expression of his, which may have
been inadvertently used, that brought out Mr. Bulwer’s bitterly
sarcastic observations, and so he had some right to be
vehement and to deliver half a dozen excited speechlets. The
row was considerable; but it ended, as usual, iu everybody
saying that they had only spoken in “ a Parliamentary sense, J
which, so far as the phrase is ineligible, must mean a non¬
natural sense. It may be mentioned that the Home-Rulers
are so perfectly organised, and the members of that persuasion
bo well kept together, that they are able to prevent, if they
choose, the Parliamentary catastrophe called a “ count,” which
some people may think is a strong reason in favour of the
Home Rule which they seek.

A breach of privilege is always an exciting Parliamentary
incident; and so the whole House bent eagerly to listen to Mr.
Henry Herbert, an impulsive Irish member; when ho, one
evening, demanded a hearing for a complaint in that respect.
Nothing could have exceeded the disappointment which ensued;
for it proved that the breach of privilege consisted in two
paragraphs which had appeared in a daily journal which is
rather remarkable for omniscience and prescience in matters
Parliamentary ; and, as usually happens when the imagination
is drawn on for facts, is often funnily incorrect. The
story when it was told was so blank and barren that no one
was in the least moved in the way which breaches of privilege
generally move members *, and the Speaker, displaying an
unusual power of quiet banter, treated the matter so lightly and
made it appear so small that he damped it out mo3t effectually.

Mr. Peter Taylor is sure whenever he makes a regular
motion to have an audience predetermined to bo amused. His
humour is, perhaps, somewhat of the character which belonged
to that of the professional jesters of the Middle Ages, who were
as bitter and sarcastic as they were droll. The metallic tones
of his voice, the peculiar intonations to which ho has
recourse, are in complete keeping with tho caustic and
often very fice nature of his wit. He has not of late been
very profuse in his contributions to the mirth of tho
House, and therefore he was especially welcome now when ho
brought on his motion for the opening of museums on Sundays.
As may be supposed, Puritanism, and Sabbatarianism were made
ns lndicrous as could possibly be, and illustrations of thoso
tendencies were drawn from Scotland with merciless vividness.
Now and then there were sneers, hardly covert, at things which
most people think ought to be free from profane remark, and these
met with that tacit rebuke in the way which is peculiar to the
House. Altogether, it may perhaps be said that, though
vigorous and varied, this was not the most effective speech that
Mr. Taylor ever made. If contrast is a rhetorical advantage,
certainly Mr. Allen, who moved an amendment to the motion,
amply afforded it, for lie was not only sententious, but what
may be called “ preachy ” in his speech, nud ho was made to
know that he was considered dull. But Mr. Alexander
M‘Arthur, who is the colleague of Mr. Taylor in the repre¬
sentation of Leicester, received rather liard measure, consider¬
ing that bo is a new member. The fact was that the
Ministerialists had resolved to have a division before dinner¬
time ; and, ns Mr. M‘Arthur appeared with all the para¬
phernalia of papers and a glass of water, which indicated a
long—and, as was found out after his first sentences, prosy—
speech, he was accompanied by a continuance of roars, which
suggested ideas of tho impatience expressed by noise which is
characteristic of caged animals on tho approach of feeding¬
time. At any rate, notwithstanding—and perhaps because
of—the efforts of Mr. Beresford-Hops and Mr. Looke to prolong
it, the debate was cut short enough to satisfy the longings for
“vivers” which prevailed.

So marked has been the absence of Mr. Gladstone from tho
House that it may bo excused if it is noted that ho made his
appearance, for a short time, on one evening in this weak.
Contrary to his custom, ho did not glide in from behind the
Speaker’s chair, but came in at the great door, paused at the

bar, and surveyed the House. Then, perceiving Sir William
Stirling-Max well sitting on the front bench below the gang¬
way on the Ministerial side, ho joined him there and remained
for a short time iu that, for him, unwonted place. Next, he
exchanged a few, apparently pleasant, words with the Serjeant-
at-Arms, and then took the rather obscure place in the front
Opposition bench whicli ho now affects. Several Conservative
members came up to him, greeted him, and conversed genially
with him.

PARLIAMENTARY SUMMARY.

HOUSE of lords.

Yesterday week the subject of guarantee of dividends of
Irish railways on the security of local rates was discussed ; tho
Real Property Limitation Bill, the Land Titles and Transfer
Bill, the Real Property Vendors and Purchasers Bill, and the
Betting Bill were reported, with amendments ; and the Colonial
Clergy Bill and the Consolidated Fund (£13,000,000) Bill were
read the third time and passed.

The Duke of Richmond, on Monday, brought under the
notice of their Lordships the state of Church patronage iu
Scotland, the abolition or modification of which, he said, had
excited the attention of the Scottish people for the last 300
years. He proposed to introduce a bill which provided that
the power to elect a minister should be vested in the male
communicants of the church, and that the patron should be
entitled to compensation not exceeding one year’s stipend of
the charge of which he had held the patronage. It was
intended to abolish all patronage, from that of the Crown
downwards. The bill met with tolerably general acceptance,
and was read the first time. Tho East India Annuity Fund
Bill was read the second time, and the Betting Bill was passed.

On Tuesday the Judicature (Ireland) Bill was read the
second time, as was the Courts (Straits Settlements) Bill, and the
East India Annuities Loan Bill was passed through Committee.
Lord Stanley of Aiderlcy drew attention to the administration
of the Straits Settlements, which was defended by Lord
Carnarvon.

The Itoyal Assent was given on Thursday by Commission
to the following bills :—Consolidated Fund (£13,000,000), Cattle
Diseases (Ireland), Middlesex .Sessions, Harbour Due3 (Isle of
Man), Dublin Yorks Loan Commissioners (Loans to School
Boards), and the Game Birds (Ireland) Bills. The Lord
Chancellor laid on the tablo a bill for further promoting the
revision of the statute law and repealing certain enactments
which had ceased to have any force or had become unnecessary.
The bill was read the first time. The Oyster and Mussel
Fisheries Bill and the East India Annuity Funds Bill were
read the third time and passed.

of bis predecessors, believing that ho was not bound to

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

Upon the order of the day for going into Committee of
Supply, yesterday week, theO'C’onor Don Brought under notice
the system of guaranteeing dividends out of the local rates iu
Ireland on capital invested in Irish railways, and moved to
resolve that this system was unsatisfactory. The motion wa3
seconded by Captain Nolan, and discussed at Borne length by
several Irish members. Sir M. H. Beach admitted, on the part
of Government, that a remedy was wanted, that the subject
should receive his best and immediate attention, and that,
perhaps during the present Session, eome conclusion might
be arrived at, which, if it did not place the question on a
satisfactory basis, might do away with the objection to the
existing unsatisfactory condition of things. Having exprossed
his gratification at this answer, tho O'Conor Don wjfchdrewhis
motion. The question of recognising tho Ameer of Kashgar
was then discussed. In Committee of Supply on the Civil
Service Estimates a large number of votes in class 4 were agreed
to. The vote of £1562 for Queen’s Plates in Ireland led, as
usual, to some discussion. Mr. Auderson moved the rejection
of the voto, but on a division was defeated by 146 to 23. Pro¬
gress was reported at a quarter to one o’clock.

On Monday, some minor matters having been disposed of,
Sir Edward Watkin criticised keenly the construction of ships
of war introduced by the late Chief Constructor of the Navy,
and adopted in tho Captain and other ironclads—-namely, deep
empty spaces in ships’ bottoms, and high centres of gravity.
He indulged in some professional remarks on Mr. E. J. Reed,
who vigorously vindicated his constructive system, and showed
that the Captain was the one ship which was not designed by
him during his term of office. Mr. R-eed, with technical minute*
ness, described his system. A speech abounding with criticisms
on shipbuilding was delivered by Admiral Elliot, iu the course
of which everyone connected with Admiralty administration
was roundly dealt with. When the House got into Committee
on the Navy Estimates there was another, though small,
discussion on the state of the Navy, during which Admiral
Elliot made another long speech on naval things in general.
Hie whole of the votes having been agreed to, the Houso re¬
sumed, and on the report of Supply Mr. Butt moved to reduce
the vote for secret-service money in the Civil Service Estimates
by £3000, on the ground that the sum had been applied in pay¬
ment of costs and damages incurred in actions in the Irish
courts of law against constabulary officers and other Govern¬
ment officials. On a division the motion was rejected by 215
votes against 31. The Customs and Inland Revenue Bill, the
Bishop of Calcutta (Leave of Absence) Bill, and tho Board of
Trade, Arbitration, &c., Bill W’ere passed through Committee ;
and Mr. Secretary Cross brought in a bill for the amendment
of the Factory Acts.

A motion for opening public museums and libraries on
Sundays was rejected on Tuesday by 271 to 68. The second
reading of the Poor Relief (Ireland) Bill was then taken, in a
thin House, consisting almost exclusively of Irish members.
At the close of a long debate, the second reading was negatived.

Mr. Gregory, on Wednesday, moved the second reading of
the Lease and Bale of Settled Estates Bill, the object of which
is to remove certain statutory restrictions upon the sale of

Bill, introduced by Sir Robert Anstruther, was, after some dis¬
cussion, read the second time. Next came a debate on Mr. F.
J. Bmyth s bill to assimilate the law relating to public meet-
J?£ s ^kakof England. The bill was opposed by
tho Attorney-General for Ireland. Mr. Butt and SirG. Bowyer
spoke m its favour; and Mr. Conolly, who spoke against it,
declared Ins belief that if the bill were passed, twenty-four
hoursi would not elapse betore tho leader of the Home Rulers
would proclaim his intention to hold a Parliament on College-
On the House dividing, the bill was thrown*out bv 216
to 84. Mr. Dodds moved the second reading of his bill to

NATIONAL SPORTS.

With the decision of the Cup the chief interest in the Chester
Meeting terminated ; still, there was some very fair racing on
the Thursday and Friday. The Dee Stakes, for which somo
good horses have occasionally run, has dwindled down to a
mere shadow of its former self, and though, on the first blush
of his victory, De Gambia was backed for a few sovereigns for
the Derby, yet a little reflection must show that any three-year,
old who could gallop at all must be able to beat the moderate
Bloomfield, especially when in receipt of 7 lb. It was hardly
fair to ask Benny Blue Eye to run three days in succession on

the hard ground, and it was therefore scarcely surprising that
she finished absolutely last in the Badminton Stakes, which fell

to John Peel, who could only rim a bad third to Telescope and
The Fakenham Ghost in the Mostyn Stakes. The same colt

confirmed his form by carrying a 7-lb. penalty successfully on
tho following day, when Rente and Eusfcon were behind him.

The Great Cheshire Stakes, to which £500 was added, proved
a genuine success, and brought emt iu&fc. *a WiWn. in¬
cluding several high-class animals. Bertram (Sst. 71b.) started
favourite ; but he has always been a much over-rated horse, and
could not even get a place. Nothing, indeed, had the least
chance with Anared (8 st. 21b.), and his fine performance must
have been very gratifying to the Derby backers of Atlantic
and Aquilo, as it confirms the excellence of their respective
trials with him. Spectator (fist. 121b.), Oxford Mixture
(7 st. 71b.), and Mont Valerien (7 st. 4 lb.), all ran very badly.
Backera lared ill in the Stewards’ Cup, the last race of the
meeting, for Lily Agnes received a clever defeat from the
almost unknown Elderslio. Certainly, sho was giving him i
year and 31b. ; but, over a short course, she ought to have been
able to do this, and has clearly lost much of her great two-
year old fpixn. The result of the Chester Cup proves that it ia
veiy foilunate for the owners of Derby' favourites that Organist
is not engaged at Epsom. Hia fine performance has beca
depreciated in some quarters, on the ground that Andrcd beat
seme of the Cup horses very easily in tho Great Cheshire
Stakes ; but it must surely have been overlooked that the dis¬
tance of the first race was nearly double that of the second.
Lcolinus lias found backers for the Derby at 25 to 1, for which
he can have no chance unless Organist could win with about
10 st. on Lis back—which, of course, would bo out of the
question.

In spite of the hardness of the ground, there were somo
capital fields on the first day of the Newmarket Second Spring

Ditch Milo Handicap; but though the course is exactly
suited to Andred (Ost. 31b.), he could not quite give the weigh;
to King Lud (8 st. 10lb.), who just outstayed him. The bft
has grown into a model cup horse, and ought to have a very
successful career this season. The racing on Wednesday * Al

Meeting, and most of the racing was of a very interesting cha¬
racter. Madame Toto, a half-sister to Miss Yoto, was modi i
favourite for the Spriug Two-Year-Old Stakes*, but she is a
small, weedy filly, that will never prove the equal of her dii-
tinguished "relative, and was beaten by a short head by
Haiewood, a good-looking son of Julius and Quality. Tte
Newmarket Spring Handicap saw M. Lefevre again second, is
Trombone (Sst. 12lb.) succumbed to King George (7st. 51b.).

In the next two-year-old race, however, the tricolour was more
successful, and it was carried by one of the best youngsters va

Tesone, who disposed of Ladylove without an effort, iad
promises to do great credit to Gladiateur, who up to the pressnt
time has not proved a successful sire. In the Newmarket Two-

to tell on her ; and she never showed prominently in tho raw,

rpHE ALEXANDRE NEW SEVEN-

X OUTNKA ORGAN HARMONIUM 8olld Oak Case. Five
Octaves, and Two Footboards

The ever-increasing musical culture In all classes of society ha*
created a demand for free reed Instruments of a superior quality
to those hitherto manuf actured.

The instruments now ottered to the public will be found divested
of all that has hitherto been considered objectionable as regards
toue. This end has been obtained by u*iug a larger and thicker
tongue, and a new system of voicing, which render the quality
rich and organ-like

Another advantage in the new system is the Increased strength
of the reeds, and diminished liability to go out of tune by forcing
the bellows.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS, Mat 23, 1874. 493

. [SIR RICHARD TEMPLE.

Our readers have heard of the recent
appointment of Sir Richard Temple to
the high office of Lieutenant-Governor of
Bengal, and of the great efforts he is per¬
sonally making, in his continual journeys
through the famine districts, to organise
and superintend the local administration
of relief. This very energetic and efficient
officer of the British Indian Government
entered the service in 1846. When the
Central Provinces, soon after the Mutiny
of 1857, were formed into a separate
Governmental department, he was ap¬
pointed Chief Commissioner, resident at
jSagpore, having previously been Com¬
missioner for the Lahore district of the
Punjaub, under Sir Robert Montgomery.
At another period he was Political Resi¬
dent at the Court of the Nizam of the
Deccan, at Hyderabad. He was next
appointed Foreign Secretary to the
General Government of India, at Culcutta,
but in 1868 became the Financial Member
of the Governor-General's Council there.
Sir Richard is a Knight Commander of
the Star of India, and secretary to that
order. Lady Temple, his second wife, is
a daughter of Mr. Charles Lindsay, of the
Bengal Civil Service.

THE LATE SIR ARCHDALE
WILSON.

This gallant veteran of the Indian army,
wbo was interred last week in Kensal-
green Cemetery, will be remembered as
the conqueror of Delhi. He was the Bon
of a Norfolk country clergyman, but
entered the East India Company's ser¬
vice in 1819, in the Bengal Artillery.
He was commanding a brigade at Meerut
when the mutiny of 1857 broke out there.
After sonic important actions performed
by him, the command of the Delhi held
force devolved upon him. With not more
than 7000 effective troops, and no ade¬
quate siege artillery, he attacked the
great fortified city, garrisoned by 30,000
fighting men. On Sept. 14 Delhi was

assaulted, and was captured after six

days’ hard fighting, in which Genera
Nicholson was killed. The successful
General was raised to the baronetcy as
Sir Archdale Wilson of Delhi, with the
grand cross of the Bath and a pension.
He received the thanks of both Houses
of Parliament. lu 1858 Sir Archdale
commanded the artillery, under Lord
Clyde, at the siege of Lucknow. Lacly
Wilson, who survives him, is a daughter
of the late General Frith, of the Bengal
Artillery. There is no son, and the title
goes to a nephew, Sir Rowland Wilson.

THE SOLICITOR-GENERAL.

The newly-appointed Solicitor-General,
in succession to Sir Richard Baggallay, is
a son of the late Mr. Samuel Holker, of
Bury, Lancashire, by Sarah, daughter of
the late Mr. J. Brocklehurst. He was
born in the year 1828, and was educated
at the Grammar School of his native town.
He was called to the Bar at Gray 8 Inn,
in Trinity Term, 1854, and joined tho
Northern Circuit. He did not enter Par¬
liament until September, 1872, when ho
was returned for Preston, in tho Con¬
servative interest, in the place of the late
Sir Thomas Fermor Hesketh. He was ic-
chosen by a largo majority at tho late
general election, and obtained the honour
of a silk gown in 1868.

The Portrait is from a photograph by
Mr. Beattie, of Preston.

THE LATE MR. H. P.
PARKER.

The death of this artist, who was much
esteemed in the north of England, has
lately been mentioned. He was founder
of .the School of Design at Sheffield, in
which ho was aided by Dr. Harwood of
that town, and by the well-known
painter, Mr. B. R. Haydon. At New¬
castle, where he long resided, tho es¬

THE TELEGRAPH
SHIP STEAM-
LAUNCH.

The new telegraph cable-
ship Faraday, which has
ji st gone to sea, was de-
* < ribed a few weeks since.
She is provided with a
steam-launch, built by
Messrs. Yarrow and
Hedley, of Poplar. The
UBe of the launch is to
tow barges for laying the

shore ends of the cable on
coasts which large ships
are unable to approach.
The little vessel is built of
teak, in two thicknesses,
to withstand a consider¬
able sea. She is 33 ft. in
length, 4 ft. 6 in. in depth,
with 8ft. Gin. beam, and
3 ft. draught. She has a
pair of high - pressure
engines, with 5^-in.
cylinders, 6^ in. stroke,
and of twenty-five indi¬
cated horse-power. The
working-boiler pressure is
751b. per inch, at which,
with 250 revolutions, she
has a speed of nine miles
an hour. She has a three-
bladed gun-metal screw

2 ft. 9 in. in diameter and

3 ft. 5 in. pitch, and is
capable of towing a barge
loaded with fifty tons of
cable. The engines are
arranged for driving of her
machinery besides the
screw propeller, with a
\iew to the special ser¬
vice for which the vessel
is designed. At one side
is a drum of peculiar con¬
struction, connected by
wheel gearing with the

engine This is for underrunning the cable in shallow water,
to "detect the exact locality of a fault, and to repair it when
detected. A powerful davit projects from her bows, for
grappling and hoisting up the cable. The launch is fitted with
convenient water-tanks and coal bunkers, and is able to run
out at sea 180 miles per day of twenty-four hours on a con¬
sumption of 15 cwt. of coals. Her economy in fuel was very
marked at the trial on the Thames.

FINE ARTS.

EXHIBITION OF THE ROYAL ACADEMY.

VOURTH NOTICE.

We have still to notice several figure-pictures with subjects
from contemporary life. Entire success in this direction is
as rare as in portrait-painting, and for the same reason,
because—being more familiar with the artists’ materials—we
are more competent and therefore more exacting critics than
when he deals With matters beyond our experience. In this
section of the exhibition there aro some determined literalist-3
who have our warm sympathy, yet who must be reminded
that the proper object of art is to give pleasure—“ noble
pleasure,” as Mr. Ruakiu puts it. Mr. F. Holl’s “Deserted”
(487) represents the discovery of an infant in a dreary part of
Bankable, on a dismal, bitter, winter’s morning, by a policeman,
who wraps the little forsaken one under his waterproof cape. The
workmanship is good, but a little bard, and the picture suffers
dramatically os well as technically by proximity to Mr. Fildes’s
terrible groups of workhouse casuals. Without seeking for a
dramatic motive, and without trying to harrow our feelings,
Mr. Eyre Crowe has apparently set himself to record the
unpictorial lives of the working classes of the manufacturing
districts in a prosaic but entirely honest manner. In one picture
(876) he shows us a score or so of factory girls at their ol fresco
dinner, amidst the mills aud chimneys of Wigan. In another
we are taken to the neighbourhood of a coal-pit where grimy
girls and children are gleaning fuel from one of the huge refuse
heaps known as “ spoil banks ” (537). Mr. Prinsep also has
stepped out of his ordinary path to paint 44 Newmarket Heath—
the Morning of the Race ” (27) —a file of gipsies or other
vagrants, with their donkey-carts, trudging along a dusty road.
The treatment is very manly, but a little positive and crude.
We prefer the artist's 44 Safe Confidant” (27)—a lady whisper¬
ing her secrets to a Persian cat—which combines much refine¬
ment with rich colouring.

“The Crowd Before the Guards’ Band, St. James’s Park”
(684), by Mr. F. Barnard—an artist to whom this Journal has
been indebted for very characteristic and spirited illustrations
of social life—is one of the most amusing pictures in the exhi¬
bition. The execution is a little dry and harsh, and there may
be a tendency to caricature; yet those probably will be the last
to raise this latter objection who are best acquainted with the
scene represented, which is notoriously the favourite resort of
the idlera and the oddities of all sections of the London lower
orders. The artist’s remarkable powers of observation and
his happy knack of hitting off salient points of character find
ample scope here; and one may look long at the picture
and still mid some new phase of cockneyism and some new
type of the waifs and strays of the pav^s and gutters.
In No. 531, by Mr. Mac Lean, representing a scene
in 44 Covent Garden Market, 1873,” an error in the oppo¬
site direction is committed—i.e., that of seeking to dignify
and ennoble the forma of flower-girls, porters, and costermongers ;
otherwise the picture has conspicuous merit. There is a droll
picture by Mr. W. Weekes, “Gleaning Evidence” (726), a
Bharp London lawyer’s clerk interrogating a stolid rural
labourer, whose countenance is, we suspect, wickedly made to
bear some resemblance to an illustrious statesman and friend to
the agriculturist. Genuine feeling, despite the rather too smart
painting, will be found in A. Johnstone’s 44 Left Alone” (608),
an old farmer returned, after burying his wife, to his lonely
home. “Phillis on the New-Mown Hay,” (213), by R. W.
Macbeth, has a sweet sense of beauty, though an unlucky com¬
position. There is also sentiment without affectation in
44 Waiting to Cross the River” (1034), by P. Macnab—a group
of rustics on the banks of a stream at twilight. Mr. L. Smythe^s
“Shorthanded” (1347), a woman assisting at the pumps of a
vessel threatened with foundering, is a striking subject, but the
picture is hung too high for fair examination. We must be con¬
tent with simple commendation of Mr. F. Morgan’s “Home¬
less ” (624), a gipsy woman with her child sitting on a dreary
common. “ The Vagabond ” (340) by H. H. Canty ; “The Milk¬
maid ” (358), by T. Graham ; 44 A Lonely Life ” (359), a pathetic
picture of an old woman with a bundle of sticks feeling for the
key-hole of her cottage door in the gloaming, by H. Cameron ;
“Chequered Shade” (411), by W. R. Robertson; “Following
the Arts” (1035), an Italian boy, a seller of plaster casts, fol¬
lowed by a number of Scotch children, by W. M'Taggert;
44 The Address to the Young” (688), by J. Morgan ; and con¬
tributions by A. H. Marsh, C. E. Staniland, E. C. Barnes, G.
E. Hicks, W. Herrick, H. C. Selous, J. A. Houston, G.
Tourrier, C. W. Nicholls, E. N. Kennedy, H. Helmick, S. B.
Clarke, Madame E. Courtauld-Arendrup, Mrs. S. Anderson,
Misses L. Starr, E. and F. Ward, and E. C. Clacy. The works
by painters of childlife (not hitherto reviewed) seem to call for
little comment. A 44 Homely Hop” (634) and 44 The Bird’s Nest ”
(1386), by J. Clark, is, as usual, nice in feeling, and also, as
usual, too prim and soft in execution ; Mr. F. D. Hardy’s best
picture is “Professor and Pupils” (530), an old music-master,
with his class of girls ; Mr. G. Hardy follows in a similar style
with “ Hush!” (399), and Mr. G. B. O’Neill in “A Little
Better ” (34), a sister trying to amuse a convalescent brother.
One of the best pictures of this class is “My Doll’s Picnic”
(962), by Miss Epps, which has a beautiful effect of lighting.

We have still to notice some good pictures illustrative of
foreign life and manners. Prominent among these should be
placed Mr. J. B. Burgess's “English Ladies Visiting a Moor’s
House ” (475). The Moorish grandee is doing the honours
with due Oriental politeness; but the best part of the
composition is the contrast—as they stand eyeing each
other shily and dubiously—between the sturdy fair-haired
British boy, in a sort of naval dress, and the little son and
daughter of the Moor. Some of his womankind peep from the
door of the harem enjoying the general embarrassment. There
is much finesse in the expressions, and the picture is neatly and
well painted. “Eavesdropping” (437), by Mr. F. Dillon, is
another and more elaborate Oriental interior, probably from
Cairo, with a couple of gentlemen smoking and conversing on a
divan, while the wife of one furtively listens at a side door.
Mr. W. Gale goes still farther east, and shows us “Spring
TimV* (622) in Syria, with two ladies and an attendant walking
in a gar<kn radiant with flowers, aud listening to the 44 voice of
the turtle.” Mr. W. W Topharn contributes several small
Italian scenes, graceful in feeling and refined in colour, from
Asaissi and Florence. Strange to Ray, there is a great dearth
of Spanish subjects in this year’s exhibition. Almost the sole
Spanish picture is Mr. Haynes Williams’s effectively painted
tfigure of a matador in the arena making 44 El Saltido ’ (609) to
the auditory before engaging in the bull fight. Another picture
iby the same artist, wluch seems to desei ve a better place, is

“Billeted—Spain, 1S74 ” (1329), a cobbler scrutinising the order
forboardand lodgingpres nted byacoupleof soldiers. Mr. Beavis
sends two pictures of Dutch life marked by spirit and ability in
the workmanship—“ Bringing up Nets at Scheveningen ” (545),
and “A Ferry Boat in Old Holland” (396). 44 A Retreat :

Episode of the German French War” (1366), by E. Crofts, is,
next to Miss Thompson’s 44 Calling the Roll,” the best military
picture in the exhibition, bo far as we recollect. Even far
Japan has yielded themes to Mr. A. Thompson in “Em¬
broidery” (999) and “A Japanese Cleopatra” (1001), in which
the costumes and accessories are well painted, but not so
the faces ; to Mr. F. Mosclieles, in 44 On the Banks of the
Kanagawa” (1006) ; and to Mrs. Ilomer Jopling, in her cleverly-
conceived “ Five o’Clock Tea” (1047), A la Jajx>naise. Though
they hardly fall within this category, we may notice here three
pictures by Messrs. R. Lehmann, A. Legros, and W. V.
Herbert. There are few pictures at Burlington House to
compare—for true though latent pathetic sentiment and quiet
refinement of execution—with Mr. Lehmann’s “ Ave Maria”
(554). A brown-frocked Capuchin sits in his cell, his head
relieved against the failing light, seen through the casement;
his eyes wander from the book before him as the evensong or
bell falls on bis ear; a table, a hard truckle bed, and a few
books furnish his narrow domicile. This is not all, however :
the monk is young, and has a noble head, but his expression is
sad and lonely, and this, together with the plucked rose, the
little birds alighted on the -window-sill, and the outlook on a
calm sea, suggest energies imprisoned and wasted, an unnatural
severance from God's beautiful world, and a deprivation of the
freedom He has given to all His creatures. M. Legros has
made choice of what may be considered an ignoble subject, in
“Un Chaudronnier ” (24), a travelling tinker mending a pan,
and surrounded with other copper and brass vessels. The
painter has, however, in treating it, brought to bear rare
artistic qualities—to wit, largeness of style, very fine harmony
of low-toned hues, and chiaroscuro such as ia seldom even
attempted by modern English painters. It would be hard
to assign any locality or date for Mr. W. V. Herbert’s
“Summer Song” (458), were it not for the word “Musica”
beneath a statue with a lyre ; and it would be still more dif¬
ficult to divine the clime where such purple skies are to be
scon. Still the composition of tcrrace-pleasaunce, statue,
chanting maidens, piping bullfinch, and cooing, fluttering doves
has original poetic charm.

In the department of animal-painting the styles of the
leading English contributors are too well known to need com¬
ment. The veteran Sidney Cooper has two of his familiar
cattle-pieces—“A Sunny Summer Evening in the Meadows”
(209) and 44 Fording a Brook in the Marshes” (474); and also
a subject rather out of the painter’s beaten track—a group of a
bull, cow, and calf in a low-browed shed, with snow on the
thatch, for title to which ia the line from the old song, 44 Be it
ever so humble, there’s no place like home” (419). Then Mr.
Cooper has this year another bull, lifesize, with cows in the
distance beyond an intervening stream, entitled “Separated,
but not Divorced” (713). The jncture seems to invite comparison
(particularly by the dock-leaves which are conspicuous objects
iu both) with Paul Potter’s bull, at The Hague; but, though
tho Hague picture has been greatly overrated, such
comparison would not be favourable to the English artist,
at least as regards draughtsmanship; the legs — especially
the hind legs — and other parts of Mr. Coopers bull
are defective both in drawing and modelling, to say nothing of
the thin, smooth, hard manipulation. Mr. AnsdeU alternates, j
as heretofore, between the Highlands and Spain ; among the
scenes from the former being “ A Cot Cattle Fair, Ule of
Skye” (186) and 44 Herd Lassie Parting with an Old Friend ”—
i.e., a cow (520) ; whilst his principal Spanish work is “ Goat¬
herds, Bay of Gibraltar ” (367). It would, perhaps, be too
much to expect Mr. Ansdell to step out of his long-confirmed
routine; still, we should like to see Borne change in his sub¬
jects, effects, or execution, and we should especially like to
see the textures of his animals less cared for—to see the hairy
coats of his cattle and the fleece of his sheep arranged with less
mechanical regularity. 44 A French Lane ” (270), with a string
of cows and calves advancing and sunlight striking athwart the
trees, is a less important work by Mr. H. W. B. Davis than we are
accustomed to see at the Academy; nor are the greens in sunlight
quite so happy in colour as usual. Nevertheless, for draughts¬
manship and delicacy of workmanship this is one of the best
works of its class. Still more refined qualities distinguish two
small landscapes by Mr. Davis, 44 The End of the Day” (596)
and 44 In Picardy ” (606); the harmony of the hues and the
amenity of feeling in these landscapes are deserving of high
praise. Mr. S. Carter has a large and vigorously-descriptive
picture, called 44 A Duel on Black Mount” (400), showing a
contest between two eagles, one of which has attacked a fawn
that has been defended by its hind. The eagles here fight
with their talons only, not also with their beaks, as incorrectly
represented in Landseer’s 41 Attack on the Swannery.” Mr.
Eyre Crowe’s pack of 44 Foxhounds in Kennel” (1045), and
Mr. S. E. Waller’s picture of wolves, called “ Soldiers of
Fortune ” (195), are also entitled to mention. Among foreign
works Mr. Poingdestrc’s picture (1398), of grey and black cattle
being driven by mounted herdsmen of the Campagna into the
inclosures of a Roman market, is strikingly animated and cha¬
racteristic ; and M. Auguste Bonheur’s 44 Gol de Canfranc,
Pyrenees” (1345), with a flock of sheep in the foreground, has
(though not a very favourable example) much charm in its
sunny colouring; but for richness of effect and vigour of
handling these artists yield to M. De Haas in his 44 Morning in
the Meadows.”

Midway between the figure and landscape department—that
is to say, equally excellent in both—may be placed the works of
Mr. Hook, who, though he has not taken new ground this year,
has equalled, if not surpassed, anything he had hitherto done.
Three of his contributions are coast scenes—those rock-bound
bays and creeks where he delights to pitch Ira easel, from
Cornwall and Devon to distant Shetland, and watch the
Atlantic sweep in, its wildness and strength half-broken and
subdued, till it dashes itself into foam against the jagged rocks
or dies in ripples along the soft sand. Mr. Hook never ren¬
dered the still-great but subsiding force of the sea under such
conditions better than in No. 375. The long-measured stride
of the swell as it swings into the bay like a racehorse
drawing up but carried by his own impetus far beyond
the winning-post ; the lovely, pale-emerald transparency
of the sea as it glances over the shallower bottom,
together with the sense of fresh, exhilarating air, and
unsullied laughing light, are altogether delightful. The
incident of this picture is pathetically suggestive. It is called
Jetsam and Flotsam (the legal terms for wreckage)—a fishcr-

tion can hardly be pressed, so fin?

valuable is the contrast they afford relatively to the distance.
Mr. Hook’s power as a landscape-painter is equally conspicu oa i
in 44 Cow-Tending” (232). Nothing can be more forcible, rich
and true than the effect of light on the full summer greenery 0 f
the fields and woods. In this case the incident to which the
title points is an amusing one. The little cowherd has been
neglecting his charge to fish in the foreground stream, the co Ws
meanwhile have wandered in all directions, two of them having
got into a poor woman’s cabbage-garden ; and now the little
urchin is seen wading from an eyot, the haunt of the water-
fowl, with a capful of eggs, thereby capping his delinquencies.

Other landscapes pur ct simple must be included in the
next notice. ______

Landseer’s portrait of Sir Walter Scott, in the late sale of
Sir Edwin’s remaining works, was bought by Mr. Albert Grant
and has been presented by him to the National Portrait Gallery.
The Landseer sale realised, in all, over £70,000.

Messrs. Pilgeram and Lefevre have lately published an
engraving by Mr. W. H. Simmonds, a M. Tissot’s picture,
entitled “News of our Marriage.” The incident depicted
occurs in the bay-window of an inn down the Thames, over¬
looking the river—a favourite scene with the painter. Hero a
military man has brought his young bride (both in costumes of
the last century), and, while refreshments are waiting to be
Berved, is reading the public announcement of their marriage
A runaway match it may be—at all events, the incident in
suggestive ; and M. Tissot is seen to more advantage in senti¬
mental subjects such as this than in his illustrations of con*
temporary life. We need hardly say that Mr. Simmonds has
- performed his task admirably, and the plate will doubtless be
popular.

We have received from the committee of the Arfc-Union of
Victoria a set of six photographs, from designs by members of
the Victorian Academy of Arts, made expressly/or a uObcWW*
to the art-union. Apart from the novel interest of tho
Australian scenery depicted, the designs have art-merit, and
would form a pleasant memorial for English. Iricuda ol tho
colony. The antipodean society seems to be constituted and
conducted after the model of our London Art-Union, and we
heartily wish it success.

A statue of 44 Semiramis,” by Mr.W.W. Story, of Rome,
one of those grandiose seated female figures by which the emi¬
nent American sculptor is best known, is now on view at
Messrs. Holloway’s gallery, Bedford-street, Strand.

44 Le Petit Pasteur,” one of the chefs-d'oeuvre of Murillo,
has lately been sold at the Hdtel Drouot, Paris, for 120,000f.

The collection of Mr. Wilson, lately exhibited at Brussels
for the benefit of the poor, has been brought to the hammer
and realised 875,737f.

The death is announced of Baron Triqneti, the French
sculptor. The deceased was born at Conflans, in 1802. He
commenced his career by studying painting as well as sculp¬
ture, but the success ho mot with in the latter induced him to
devote himself entirely to that art. One of the works by which
he is best known in France is the bas-reliefs on the doors of
the Madeleine, Paris. His scries of decorations for the
Wolsey (now Albert) Chapel, at Windsor, including the recum¬
bent statue of the Prince Consort, were, we understand, left
virtually completed. The principal wall decorations of this
chapel consist of those incised designs, filled in with marble
veneers of different tints, with which the artist’s name is inti¬
mately connected. A set of such inlays were to have been
executed by the Barcm for tho dodo of the aa at end of St. Paul’s
Cathedral.

The death of Mt. Gleyre, the eminent painter of the 44 Illu¬
sions Perdues” of the Luxembourg and other very poetical
works, took place under remarkable circumstancea. He had
gone to the 44 Loan Exhibition ” at Paris, now being held in the
saloons of the former Corps L^gislatif, where some of his own
masterpieces, as well as those of many of his contemporaries,
are being exhibited, when he suddenly dropped down dead. It
was afterwards discovered that he had ruptured an aneurism of
the heart, owing, it is supposed, to excitement and the crowded
state of the rooms.

MUSIC.

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.

Two of the performances of last week necessarily remain for
present notice—that of Thursday, when Madame Adelina Patti
made her second appearance this season, and that of Saturday,
when M. Faure reappeared. Thursday’s opera was “Dinorah,”
with Madame Patti’s inimitable representation of the heroine,
the impression produced by which was again such as can only
result from gifts and acquirements of the highest and rarest
order. As usual, the 4 4 Shadow ” song was rapturously
applauded and enoored. The cast in most other respect# wu
also as before, having included Mdlle. Scalchi as the Goatherd,
Signor Bettini as Corentino, M. Maurel as Hoel, and Signer
Capponi as the Hunter, the small parts of the second Gostheri
and the Reaper having been filled, respectively, by ifrhh-
Cottini and Signor Sabater.

44 Hamlet,” as given on Saturday, included M. Faure’sfce
performance as the title hero, which character was represented
by him on the original production of M. Ambroise Thomtf *
opera at Paris in 1868, and for the first time at the Royal
Italian Opera-house in 1871. The impersonation displayed all
its former excellence, both dramatic and vocal. like Mdlle.
Albani’s other performances of the present season, her Ophdi
proved the advance which this artist has made in vocal p&vef
and declamatory style. The great scene of the death of
Ophelia, in the third act, with the introduced Swedish melody,
was, as heretofore, tho principal feature of the evening. Mdlk
D’Angeri, as the Queen, gave much force to the principal
situations in which that character is concerned inthoopc^
and the King was again represented by Signor Bagagiolo, tfcf
Ghost by Signor Capponi, Horatio by Signor Tagfiatico,
Marcellus by Signor Rossi; the character of Laertes hJito#
been filled by Signor Sabater. The performance of FrA'
(yesterday) week was a repetition of “Guglielmo Tell **
recently noticed.

On Monday “Don Giovanni ” was given, for the
this season, the cast having included the ^Zerliua of
Adelina Patti, the exquisite charm of which, vocal and fjf*
sonal, was as powerful as on any previous occasion.
Marimon was an excellent Elvira ; Mdlle. d’ADgeri, a*
Anna, sang artistically; the Don Giovanni of M. Faure was tM
same highly-finished performance as heretofore; and th* ***
was completed by Signor Nicolini as Don Ottavio,
Ciampi as Leporello, Signor Capponi as H Commendatory
M. Maurel as Masetto. .

On Tuesday night 44 1 Puritani” was repeated (with Mdlk
Albani as Elvira) ; for Thursday 41 Rigoletto ” was am)0 UI1L \.
(also a repetition);yesterday (Friday) evening “DerFremf^
was to be given; and to-nigbt (Saturday) “The tro*
Diamonds” is promised—both for the first time this season.

Ambroise Thomas's 44 Mignon ” is to be brought ont dot
with Mdlle. Albani as the heroine ; the cast also include
Mdlle. Marimon and M. Faure.

HER MAJESTY S OPERA.

“Caterina; ossia, I Diamanti della Corona ” (Les Diamana
de la Couronne was repeated .on Saturday, with the second
appearance of Madame SingeUi as the heroine; her artistic
tinging having been fully as successful as on the Hrst occasiou.

Ou the previous Thursday “ LeNozze di Figaro ” was given,
for the first time this season, with the tine performance of
MdUe. Titiens as the Countess, MdUe. Marie Koze having, for
the first time, represented the character of Susanna, in which
her graceful singing wa* more advantageously heard than in
parts of the romantic or heroic school- The Cherubino of
Madame Trebelli-Bettini, the Figaro of Signor Agnesi, the
Alma viva of Signor Rota, and the Basilio of Signor Rinaldmi
presented the same characteristics and merits as in previous
performances. . .

On Monday “ Caterina ” was given for the third time ; on
Tuesday “Lea Huguenots” was repeated; on Thursday Signor
Carapanini was to reappear in “ Lucrezia Borgia ; and to¬
night (Saturday) “ Caterina ” is to be performed, for the fourth
time. „ k , ,.

“II Talismano” (Balfe’s posthumous opera) is m active
rehearsal, and its production (deferred from last season) ap¬
pears now to be a certainty, the representatives of the hero and
heroine—Signor Campanini and Madame Christine Nilsson—
having arrived in London.

As the concerts given at the Crystal Palace on Saturday
afternoon, and at the Royal Albert Hall on Monday
evening, in honour of the Emperor of Russia, offered
no absolute novelty, hut slight notice is requisite. On the
first occasion the performances began at four o’clock, and
comprised orchestral and vocal pieces (solo and choral), the
principal singers having been Mdlle. Titiens, Madame Patey,
Mr. E. Lloyd, and Mr. .Santley. Monday’s concert began at
tight o'clock, and the programme included two specialties—the
polonaise and chorus from Glinka’s Russian opera, “ Life for
the Czar,” and a selection of Prussian sacred music (unaccom¬
panied), arranged for the choir by Mr. Arthur Sullivan, who
conducted it and a portion of Ilia own Festival “Te Deum,”
the other portions of the concert having been directed by Mr.
13 1 ruby. The solo-singers were Mdlle. Titiens, Madame Patey,
Mr. Cummings, and Signor Foli.

The fifth of the New Philharmonic concerts took place on
Saturday afternoon, and the fourth concert of the Philharmonic
Society on Monday evening. At the former, Madame Essipoff,
from St. Petersburg, made a highly-successful first appearance
in Chopin's first pianoforte concerto and some unaccompanied
pieces, in all of which her playing was of an exceptionally high
order. At Monday’s concert of the older society a violm
concerto by M. Lalo was played by Scfior Sarasate, for the
first time in England, the work and the executant having both
been well received.

The last of Herr Pauer’s historical performances of piano¬
forte musio took place on Monday, when the programme
included pieces by Sebastian and Emanuel Bach, Haydn,
Beethoven, Schubert, Schumann, and Liszt.

The annual concert of the Tonic Sol-Fa Association was
given at the Crystal Palace on Wednesday. The conductors
were Mr. Joseph Proudman and Mr. W. 6. M‘Naught. The
programme consisted principally of pieces illustrating the
seasons—spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

M. Alexandre Billot gave the first of two recitals of classical
pianoforte music, at St. Georgo’B Hall, on Wednesday afternoon.

The first of two summer subscription concerts of Mi*. Henry
Leslie's choir was to take place at St James’s Hall, on Thursday
evening, when the selection consisted chiefly of madrigals and
part-songs. On the afternoon of the same day Mr. and Mrs.
Richard Blagrove were to give the first of three concertina and
pianoforte recitals.

The second of the Crystal Palace summer concerts, to take
place this (Saturday) afternoon, will be devoted to the
illustration of French music.

THEATRES.

ROYALTY.

On Saturday a new play in four acts, by Mr. F. C. Burnand,
was produced at the Httle theatre in Dean-street, now under
the gentle sway of Miss Henrietta Hodson. It is founded on
Mrs. Edwardes’s well-known novel of “Archie Jx>vell,” and is
called by the same name. The materials of the action are
simple, and portions of the dialogue are telling. We cannot
speak in high terms of the structure. The fatal necessity (for
it seems to have grown into such) of working each act up
into a tableau has misled the author into as fat'd a mistake.
The distress of the plot lies in the hero and heroine making
a secret of what might have been told without danger,
there having been in the erroneous act nothing Teally
clandestine. Of this a scoundrel named Captain Waters
(Mr. G. H. Peveril) takes advantage, and attempts to
levy blackmail upon Archie Lovell (Miss Henrietta Hodson),
demanding indeed five hundred pounds for his silence.
Immediately after his departure the other parties to the trans¬
action, Major Setou (Mr. George Ilignold) and Gerald Durant
(Mr. G. F. Neville), meet •together suddenly, and have only to
speak in order necessarily to explain the matter in a satisfac¬
tory manner to themselves and their friends ; when, instead of
dojng so, they strike ridiculous attitudes, and the curtain falls
upon an insignificant tableau. The last act, having conse¬
quently to proceed on an insufficient basis, is, accordingly, a
comparative failure, though it concludes until a pretty enough
situation, of which the audience evidently approved. Still
there was a general sense of short-coming, the source of
which we have endeavoured to indicate. The simplicity and
innocence of Archie were beautifully and tenderly interpreted
by Miss Hodson. Mr. Rignold has been specially engaged for
Major Setou, and supported the character with care and skill ;
but we see in him no special fitness for the part, but rather the
contrary, and nothing in the part worthy of his abilities. Mrs.
Blythe, the doctor’s wife, was sustained with spirit by Miss
Maggie Brennan ; and the doctor himself was amusing in the
hands of Mr. Foabrooke. The other parts were rendered with
an average amonnfc of talent ; but scarcely seemed available to
any possible plot, that might have been constructed out of their
peculiarities. As the case stands, there is not a shadow of oue
to claim their allegiance or support.

A DELPHI.

Mr. John Oxcnford’s farce, entitled “ .Magic Toys,” has
been revived for Miss Kate Vaughan, whose dancing is as well
appreciated as known, and whose elocution, we are glad to
find, in the dialogue of the piece, was perfect. Miss Hudspeth,
as Urgundula, was deservedly encored in the air. “ Oh, give me
back my pretty toys ! ” She was also charming in the song,
“ Good-by, sweetheart, good-by ! ” The same author’s farce,
“A Waltz by Arditi,” continues attractive; and the melo¬
drama of “The Prayer in $he Sturm” i$ exceedingly popular.

GAIETY.

Mr. Charles Mathews has reappeared in his favourite part of
Mopus, in “Married for Money,” and also as Sir bretful 1 lagiary
and Puff in “ The Critic.” In both ventures he has been ably
supported and abundantly patronised. Mr. Herman ezin
and Mr. Harcourt represented Sneer and Dangle. lhe
Critic,” however, if, we think, somewhat injured by the
numerous “gags” which have been interpolated. Many of the
audience left before its conclusion—the result, we fear, of this
increasing stago-abuse.

princess’s.

Mdlle. Favart appeared during the past week in the new
comedy entitled “ Le Sphinx, ” recently produced at the
Theatre Royal Francis with great success, owing to the sensa¬
tion created by Mdlle. Croizetfce in the mysterious character Of
the heroine, and particularly in the death scene, which was full
of terror. Mdlle. Favart mitigates this feeling, and renders
the representation much less sensational. She was entirely
equal to the situation, and eminently tragic, without exagge¬
rating the melodramatic points. The piece suffers from the
many long speeches with which the action is retarded. Mdlle.
Kelly deserves, however, distinction for the admirable manner
in which 8he supported the part of Bertha de Savigny—a cha¬
racter scarcely second to that of the Sphinx herself. Of the
other artistes engaged we prefer to say nothing.

THE MAGAZINES.

There is nothing of especial note in the Corn/i ill this month.

" Far from the Madding Crowd ” is continued with considerable
ability ; the talk of the rustics, however, is too palpably
artificial. It gives the rustic mind as it appears after passing
through the medium of a mind of culture, and produces au
effect of unreality by a too obvious determination to be extremely
natural. The article on the French press during the Revo¬
lution has more to do with the revolution than the press, the
influence of which, considerable as it was, is perhaps somewhat
overrated by the writer. It was not wholly or chiefly by their
contributions to newspapers that Mirabeau and Robespierre
successively directed the course of the revolution. The writers
sympathies are anti-Republican, and his illustrative selections
are too exclusively taken from Royalist journals or the least
reputable ones of the other party. The author of an agreeable
paper on Iceland treats his subject less from the point of view
of scenery than from the comparatively unfamiliar one of the
social condition and mental characteristics of the people.

Iceland would appear to be a country where the narrowness and
paucity of intellectual interests is largely compensated by the

f encral attainment of a fair uniform level. Almost every
celander is by manner and bearing a gentleman, the poetic and
historic traditions of the country are the common property of
all, and the poorest is enough of a patriot to have the portrait
of the popular leader in his house. On the other hand, the old
enterprising spirit has died out from want of objects on which
to employ itself. The lines “To a Friend Leaving England in
September,” signed with the easily recognisable iuitials
“ J. A. S.,” are a characteristic example of the elaborate but
constrained poetry of highly-refined culture.

The writer of an able paper in Frastr on the working of
the Irish Land Act makes out a strong case for the further
application of its leading principles, and especially for the
extension of the Ulster custom to the whole of Ireland. One
would fancy, however, that the composition of the essay must
date from some months back, so unconscious does the writer
appear of the impossibility of carrying any such measure
through the present Parliament. The Irish people have them¬
selves conspired to defeat their own wishes, in so far as their
incorrigible factiousness has contributed to the overthrow of
the Gladstone Ministry. Professor Newman greatly exag¬
gerates the dark side of Roman administration; but his
essay, like everything he writes, is original and sug¬
gestive. Mr. Conway gives an interesting account of
a remarkable man, the Rev. Robert Collyer, of Chicago,
who, having commenced life as a blacksmith m Yorkshire, has
achieved a position of extraordinary influence in the north
western States of America. Judging from the specimens
given, Mr. Collyer’s eloquence is of a homely type, notwith¬
standing some questionable rhetorical embellishments. He
would seem to have a certain affinity to Henry Ward Beecher,
but, while inferior in wit and originality, to be exempt from
every trace of buffoonery. “ The Father of Universal Suffrage”
would make that institution blush for its parentage, were it
not really too absurd to affiliate it upon that inept marplot,

Ledru Rollin. Mr. E. Gosse’s criticism of the great dramatist
Webster is delicate and appreciative, and he announces a literary
discovery of considerable interest—namely, the possibility of
completely disengaging Webster’s share of “A Cure for a
Cuckold,” from the inferior work of his coadjutor, Rowley ;
thus, if the detached passages indeed form as complete and
symmetrical a whole as Mr. Gosse considers, virtually adding
another to the series of WcbBter’s plays.

Macmillan has more light articles than ordinary. Captain
Chapman’s “ Ride through the Bazaar at Yarkuud” graphic¬
ally depicts the commercial aspects of this newly-discovered
city—the destined mart, it is hoped, of English exports to
Central Asia. Business appears exceedingly brisk at present,
and the wants, not ouly of Varkundees, but of their European
visitors, seem even now* by no means ill supplied. “ Ordered
South,” by R. L. Stevenson, is a pathetic yet not despondent
portrayal of the feelings of a consumptive patient virtually College,
under sentence of death. “Moreabout Vermont” displays, in
no unkindly spirit, the characteristic faults of the American
character in the north-eastern States, which are such as to
suggest that the English type, when transplanted to America,
is liable to degenerate without a liberal foreign admixture :
some of them, at least, are not those most prevalent among the
English who stay at home. Mrs. Knox’s lines on the funeral of
Livingstone are not unworthy of the occasion. Mendelssohn’s
correspondence w ith Ferdinand Hiller is concluded.

The chief feature of Ittacforood is the continuation of
“ Alice Lorraine,” but the character of Hercules as depicted in
Sophocles and Euripides is also the subject of a thoroughly
interesting paper, able, scholarly, and tastefuL “Convivium
Templare ” is another of those dismal resuscitations of the
“Noetes Ambrosiame,” whose distance from the original in
humour corresponds accurately with their distance in point
of time. “ Setting Sail” refers to the new Administration,
which has, it appears, put forth upon the waters with a fair
wind. The metaphor is not a very happy one ; the voyage of
every Administration, however prolonged by dexterity or good
fortune, must inevitably terminate in shipwreck at last.

The Fortnightly contains three art icles of special interest. Mr.

Ashton Dilke’s “Siberia,” a chapter from his forthcoming book

of travel, is a satisfactory earnest of the entertainment this is
likely to afford. Mr. Dilke judiciously and courageously ex¬
plored Siberia in the winter, when its characteristic aspects are
most fully displayed, and found that its horrors have been
greatly exaggerated. Mrs. Garrett-Anderson, In her reply to
Dr. Maudsley on the evil effects attributed to excessive study

ontho part of female takes the lino
evidence in support of tins conclusion is principally
tbe abuses of the college system in America. Mr. W al aeO «
defence of Spiritualism will >-e read with the respect due t. lhe
eminence, conviction, and courage of the writerW e Uar
notwithstanding, that the principal fact it w,l be held to
establish is his loose notion of the value of testijnony. Mr.
J. B. Patou extenuates the apparent harshness of the lecent
German ecclesiastical legislation by pointing out the proteotnm
it extends to the inferior clergy. It is to be regretted that
this aspect was not more prominently brought forward in the
first instance. . .

The Oontemporani again challenges attention by au Homeric
version from the pen of Mr. Gladstone, and again we must say
that the late Premier’s rendering is much less to our taste ttian
the thoughtful observations by which it is piefaced. It is most
commcndably faithful, but awkward ami bald. Wo do not
know why Mr. W. R. Greg should consider himself to be
enacting the part of Cassandra. The political and social perils
he points out are denied by few ; but few either will deny that
our national history is the history of a chronic liability to
danger in some form, and that such must inevitably be the
case with every not altogether fossilised organism. Mr. 1'itz-
james Stephens’s reply to Archbishop Manning is trenchant and
conclusive. In demonstrating the possibility of the painless
extinction of the Establishment, Mr. J. Hopgood runs full tilt
upon the main difficulty — the disposal of the existing
edifices. The number of Churchmen willing to maintain their
ministers from their own resources is very much larger than
that of those who would transfer any property in their churches
to other denominations. The lecturers of the Liberation Society
do well to insist on a proviso w’hich will find them work for
the whole of their lives.

In Scribner's Monthly we have to remark a beautifully illus¬
trated paper on the manners and scenery of Tennessee ; ami in
the Transatlantic an angry assault on Mr. Sewards memory
by Mr Black, one of the old-fashioned Democratic politicians
who fondly imagine that the civil war could have been averted
by further concessions to the South. Mrs. Linton’s “ Patricia
Kemball ” is the chief feature of Temple Bar, as M r. FraneiUon s
“Olympia” is of the G on finnans Magazine, where Mr.
Hatton s “Clytie ” is concluded The last chapters have been
condensed in the magazine, but will be published in their
entirety. Mrs. Buchanan’s “Eros Athanatos ” is ethereal in
intention but substantial in cxocution, like a fairy nurtured
upon beef. “ The Official Member ” is a clever Parliamentary
sketch.

Wo must be content with a general acknowledgment of
Tinsley, Belgravia, Good Words, the Victoria Magazine, the
Monthly Packet, and several others.

CURIOUS WILLS.

(Contributed by the Author of “ Flemish Interior * .")

Among the archives of Toulouse exists the registry of a singular
•will, made by a countryman of the immediate environs in 1781.
This peasant, who was the owner of a considerable sura of
money, besides his house and the land surrounding it, had no
children, but had attached himself to a horse he always rode,
though it does not seem to have been particularly comely in
appearance. His affection for this animal was very constant ;
for, finding himself seriously ill, and having decided on making
his will, he disposed of alt his property in favour of the four-
footed favourite in these terms : — “I declare that I appoint my
russet cob my universal heir, and 1 desire that he may belong
to my nephew George.” The will was contested ; but, strange
to say, it was ultimately confirmed. A very experienced jurts-
con8ulte, by name Claude Serres, professor of “droit civil” at
Montpellier, has cited tbe onse, and gives the reason for the
decision arrived at. This celebrated lawyer states “that tbe
will was pronounced valid, and that the succession of the tes¬
tator was adjudicated to the nephew whom he bad designated
as proprietor of the horse, because it was ruled that tbe sim¬
plicity of the rustic should secure to him the execution of his
fast will, and that, having named his nephew as legatee of tbe
horse, he intended he should have it endowed with the Wqin Ms
ho had bestowed upon it —{See Journal do Boris, Deo 3, 1782 )

In June, 1828, the Ixmdon papers recorded the singular w»,l
of au English testator, named Garland, containing th« I oho wing
clause: — “1 bequeath to my monkey, my dear and atiiusiu^
Jacko, the sum of £10 sterling pel* annum, to be empl esil lor
his sole and exclusive use and benefit; to my faithful dug,
Shock, and my w'eli-beloved cat, Tib, a pension of £5 sterling ;
and I desire that, in case of the death of cither of the three, tbe
lapsed pension shall pass to the other two, between whom it is
to be equally divided. On the death of all three the sum appro¬
priated to this purpose shall become the property of my
daughter Gertrude, to whom I give this p reference among my
children because of the large family she has, and the difficulty
she finds in bringing them up.”

The Lord Chancellor has reported to the House of lairds
that the right claimed by Lord Rossmore and by Lord Mussy
to vote at the election of representative Peers for Ireland has
been established to his satisfaction.

Mr. Edward Maxwell Kenney, M A. of Merton College,
Oxford, and Mr. John Gerald Fitzmaurice, B. A. of University
College, Oxford, have been appointed inspectors of schools.
Mr. Thomas Andersou Stewart, M.A. of Aberdeen University,
has been appointed an inspector of schools in Scotland.

His Majesty the King of Italy has been pleased to confer on
Mr. R. H. Major, of the British Museum (one of the secretaries
of the Royal Geographical Society), the insignia aud diploma of
a Knight Commander of the Royal Order of the Crown of
Italy. This is a recognition of the service rendered to Italy
by Mr. Major’s complete vindication of the authenticity of the
narrative of the voyages of the Venetian brothers Zeno to the
northern seas in the fourteenth century. For centuries this
book, printed in 1558, has been regarded by many us a tissue
of fiction. It was certainly, as the learned John Pinkerton
described it, “one of the most puzzling in the whole circle of
literature.” Now' that its puzzles have been solved and its
authenticity established, we have in this valuable document
the latest account known of the lost colony of Green laud, to
discover which the Kings of Denmark have, in the past 3(H)
years, sent out many unsuccessful expeditions. What is yet
more interesting, we here find Venetians sending home to their
fellow-citizens in Venice information respecting Furopeans m
North America a hundred years before Columbus crossed the
Atlantic. Mr. Major’s researches into the obscure early
history of other maritime geographical achievements are highly
appreciated by all scholars. His life of the Portuguese Prince
Henry, called “The Navigator,” is a standard work. He has
also the merit of having proved, from a set of ancient maps,
that the Portuguese were acquainted with Australia about. 1530*

BATTLE OF GALDAMES, APRIL 30 .* VIEW TAKEN FROM THE HEIGHTS OF MONTELLANO.

The main force of the Carlists is still in the neighbourhood of
Bilbao, where severe skirmishes took place at the beginning of
this week. Some additional sketches by our Special Artist
at the head-quarters of the Spanish National Army (often men¬
tioned as Republican) show the positions held by the com¬
batants in the recent fighting. We have, on former occasions,
described the mountainous country north-west of Bilbao, along

the Somorrostro ranges, famous for their iron ore, where the
Carlists, under General Elio, had intrenched themselves in a
formidable manner. From those heights, it will be remem¬
bered, the Carlists were expelled, two or three weeks ago, by
the combined movements of Marshal Serrano and Marshal
Concha. One of our present Illustrations is that of a portion of
the Carlist trenches at San Pedro de Abanto, the centre of

their lines. It was abandoned, at three o'clock in the morn¬
ing, on the 1st inst. A female wine-seller, or cantinitre, went
down to Murietta and announced their flight. The church and
village of Abanto were found in ruins. The parapets of the
intrenchments had been knocked to pieces by the cannouade.
Serrano that day entered the village, and signed a Government
decree before the altar in the church. One of Serrano's bat-

teries, that of San Lorenzo, was the subject of two preceding
sketches. There is also here a sketch of its casemate, or bomb¬
proof covered place for the abode of the artillery officer in
command.

The village of Las Carenas, on the opposite bank of the
river Nervion at Portugalete, was some time occupied by the
Carlists, while they besieged that town. Its best houses, which

were marine villas for the citizens of Bilbao in tizie of peace,
are now pierced with shot-holes, or half demolished by the
bombardment, as shown in the sketch.

The battle of April 30—an important action in the late
campaign was begun by Serrano occupying the heights of
Montellano and Mercadillo, which overlook the Somorrostro
valley. In one of our Artist's sketches Marshal Serrano and

Admiral Topete, with the staff, are seen where they stood njwn
the hill of Montellano. The mountain rising in the background
is that of Galdames. We also give a panoramic view flow
Montellano, the references to which may serve to explain the
published accounts of the battle. The Carlist position on the
Galdames heights was finally stormed by a night attack, with
twelve battalions, under General Palacios, who lost thirty meo.

SKETCHES IN RUSSIA.

The scenes of ordinary oity life in St. Petersburg and Moscow,
and that of the popular religious ceremonial of Easter Eve,
take some additional interest from the Czar’s presence among
us this week. They contribute, with other sketches of Russian
manners and customs already published, to show the difference
of national character between his Imperial Majesty’s subjects
and our own countrymen. The magnificent Isaac Church at
St Petersburg was lately described. A sketch is given of the
customary presentation of Easter offerings by the devout and
pious, who are rewarded with a priestly benediction and
sprinkling of consecrated water from the hyssop-bough carried
by his Reverence for that purpose. The street scene at Moscow
may be commended to imitation, under the patronage of our
temperance societies, whose cause would be furthered by pro¬
moting the cheap and ready provision of a refreshing cup of tea,
instead of beer or ardent spirits, at allhoursof the day, frombaror
stall. The Russian tea of prime quality is brought overland
through Siberia from China. It is usually drunk without milk or
sugar, but with a slice of lemon, and is said to be very nice
when the taste has become accustomed to it. Fruit, especially
of the dried sorts—figs, raisins, prunes, almonds and nuts, with
mushrooms and glukvi, a small red berry of the country—find
great sale in the Russian towns.

We make this an opportunity also for noticing a new book,
in two volumes, just published by Messrs. Hurst and Blackett,
“Through Russia, from St. Petersburg to the Crimea.” The
authoress, Mrs. Guthrie, accompanied by her daughter, sojourned
about one month in each of the two Russian capital cities, then
visited Nijni-Novgorod, the great commercial town of East Russia,
and descended the Volga to Astrakhan, whence the two English
ladies returned westward, by the Don and the Sea of Azov, to
Kertch, Sebastopol, and Eupatoria. In the second volume,
containing the descriptions of places around the Caspian and
the Black Sea, there is much of fresh interest. But the objects
more frequently noticed by English tourists in St. Petersburg
and Moscow are discussed by Mrs. Guthrie with an agreeable
freshness of seeing and enjoying the sights. Another new book,
of which some readers may like to hear, is “ Rites and Customs
of the Greco-Russian Church,” by H. C. Romanoff (Rivingtons).
It is a series of brief tales and sketches, edited by Miss xonge,
the authoress of “ The Heir of Reddyffe.”

SIR GARNET WOLSELEY AT PORTSMOUTH.

The festivities at Portsmouth upon the return of the troops
from the Ashantee war ended, on Tuesday week, with a banquet
to Sir Garnet Wolseley and a hundred officers of all branches
of the service engaged in the expedition. On arriving in the
town. Sir Garnet was received at the railway station by General
Sir Hastings Doyle, the Mayor of Portsmouth, and others. A
crowd had assembled, and the General was loudly cheered.
Outside the Assembly Rooms, in the evening, there was a crowd
again to see the arrival of the guests. The large room was
decorated with flowers, mirrors, and plate ; the names of the
battles of the campaign were inscribed on the walls. The
gallery was filled with ladies. The guests were conducted
if) the dining-room, the Mayoress taking the arm of Sir
Garnet Wolseley. Amongst the guests on the right and left
of the Mayor were Captain Sir John Commerell, Captain
Sir John Glover, Colonel Sir F. W. Fesfcing, Colonel Sir
John M'Leod, Admiral Sir Rodney Mundy, General Lord Tera-
pletown, General Sir Hastings Doyle, and Captain Fremantle.
After dinner, the proper toasts for such an occasion
wore duly honoured. Sir Garnet Wolseley, Sir John Glover,
and Sir Francis Festing made suitable speeches. We give an
Illustration of the scene at this banquet.

MUSICAL PUBLICATIONS.

Mr Brinley Richards’s “Czarina, Mazurka de Salon” (pub¬
lished by Messrs. Cocks and Co.), is an effective pianoforte
piece that will, doubtless, find much favour on its own acoount
as well as from the associations connected with the title. The
same publishers have issued two pleasing fantasias, also for
piano solo, by Mr. W. S. Rockstro. One of these is founded
on two of the principal subjects of Wagner’s opera “ Tann-
haueer ”—the well-known march and Taimhauser’s air, “ Die,
Gottin der Liebe, soli mein lied ertonen ”—the other, entitled
“ Lay8 of Prince Charlie,” introduces the Scottish air, “He’s
o’er the hills and far away.”

“The Harper’s Grave” is a setting, by Mr. Brinley
Richards, of some lines by the Rev. Llewellyn Thomas
(Geraint), of which poem it is superfluous to speak in praise,
its merit having gained it the Banting prize at the Ruthin
Eisteddfod of 1SGS. The music of Mr. Richards is highly
expressive in its vocal portion, while the pianoforte accompani¬
ment is appropriately made to consist largely of arpeggios—-
probably it was originally designed for the harp—and the
general result is a very characteristic song, which, moreover,
presents no mechanical difficulties in its interpretation. Among
Messrs. Cocks and Co.’s recent publications of pianoforte music
are two pleasing transcriptions of vocal pieces of very opposite
styles—Beethoven’s air, “In questa tornba” has been prettily
dressed up by Mr. G. F. West; and Mr. A. Wright has simi¬
larly treated the Scotch air, “Smile again, my bonnie lassie.”

Mr. King Halls “School for the Harmonium,” published
by Messrs. Novello, Ewer, and Co., is an inexpensive yet
valuable code of instructions for that popular drawing-room
instrument, commencing with full explanations of its peculiar
inechauism, the mode or managing the stops, &c., followed by
twenty progressive studies, which lead to a series of pieces
arranged by some of the most eminent professors of the day.

“ Lillie s Picture Music w (Messrs. Boosey and Co.) will be
welcome to multitudes of tiny pianists, whose diminutive
fingers are here enabled to realise the prominent features of
compositions of various schools. The first book consists of
* Sacred Melodies,” tho second of “ Popular Melodies ; ” many
of the passages having the leading fingering indicated, and the
juvenile interest being maintained and varied by the attractive
full-sized engravings interspersed with the music.

Messrs. Meteler and Co. maintain their well-known activity
aa publishers of vocal and instrumental music, various produc-
tion8 in each mass having recently been issued by them. Often
as Mr. J. L. Hatton’s name appears as a song-composer it is
always welcome, and is again so in a very graceful production
entitled * In her garden, which can scarcely fail to please both
musical and unmusical hearers, and yet does not tax severely
the powers of the singer, either as to execution or range of
voice. “ The Russian Bridal-Song,” to words by C. J. Rowe
is an adaptation, by Dr. Rimbault, of one of the most beautifui
and popular melodies of that nationality, which has now
a -quired a new iuterest in this country. ‘ 4 Only once more,”
by Louisa Gray, is another welcome contribution to the stock
of ballad music, by one who has added largely and successfully
thereto. Expressive simplicity is here the appropriate charac¬
teristic. The compass or voice requir'd h only an octave and
one note, from D below the lines to E in the fourth space In
two songs, “May and December ” itgd “At hi* hearth alone,”

we again meet with the name of Cotsford Dick, •which is likely to
become much more known, judging by these and other specimens
of hia productions. Both tliese songs have the combined merits
of agreeable melody and simplicity ; the first requires a soprano
(or tenor) voice capable of touching the high A, the other is
within the more limited compass of a mezzo-soprano. Mr. VV.
T. Wrighton has long since gained wide acceptance as a pro¬
ducer of songs and ballads, several new specimens of which
(recently published by Messrs. Metzler and Co.) will bear com¬
parison with his previous pieces of the kind. 41 Only with
thee,” “One lock of hair,” “My little child,” and “Lily”
will all be found available by an ordinary mezzo-sojirano voice.
The popular ballad, “The old, old song,” has been effectively
transcribed as a pianoforte piece by Mr. Brinley Richards.
Prefaced by a short introduction, the melody is given simply,
and is afterwards surrounded with arpeggio and other passages,
contrasting well with the cantabile of the theme. The name of
Oscar Comettant i3 known both as a musical critic and a com¬
poser, and we now have it, in the latter capacity, attached to
three publications by Messrs. Metzler and Co.—one a melodious

ROYAL INSTITUTION LECTURES.

SYMMETRY IN NATURE.

Mr. Nevil Story Maskelyne, M.A., F.R.S., Keeper of the
Mineral Department in the British Museum and Professor of
Mineralogy at Oxford, gave the first of a course of four lectures
on Physical Symmetry in Crystals on Thursday week. In his
opening remarks he stated, that the idea of symmetry involves
repetition according to some law, which includes at once
regularity of interval, or rhythm, and a principle of distribution.
He mentioned certain sorts of symmetry, such as symmetry to
a point, to a line or to several lines, to an axis or to several
axes, also symmetry in a flat surface and in a solid figure ; and
the human face, a leaf, a flower, anti a tower were referred, to
as examples of the simplest kind of symmetry. He then com¬
mented on the embodiment of the subtle elements of symmetry
in the works of artists, and especially alluded to the use made
by the Greeks, Assyrians, and Arabs of the rhythm of repetitive
ornament in decorative art, adding that the ear, like the eye,
also recognises as an element of beauty not only rhythmic
measure, but symmetry of structure in music and poetry.
In nature symmetry underlies all growth. A poet has revealed
the great truth that the different parts of tne corolla of the
flower are only metamorphosed leaves, and this change of
function is associated with symmetrical repetition of the
metamorphosed element. The whole plant obeys one law of
symmetry. Except that function is wanting, and that their
growth belongs to the lifeless world, the same is true
of the inorganic molecular structures termed crystals.
A crystal, then, may be defined as a molecular system, obeying
a law of symmetry, and a “ crystal form,” as a group of faces
with edges and quoins repeated symmetrically ; the crystal
generally comprising several forms. The repetition of the same
edge or angle, and therefore of the same inclinations of cor¬
responding faces, gives a key to crystal-symmetry—that is, to
a science of crystallography—and by means of their angles,
crystals, though differing in size and in the proportions of even
repeated faceB, may be identified by using the goniometer.
Interesting examples of the development of crystals were then
given, some being shown by the electric light; and the singular
transformation of the red to the yellow iodide of mercury and
back again was also exhibited. Finally, Mr. Maskelyne con¬
sidered and illustrated the physical properties of crystals. He
said that homogeneity in crystals does not consist in their
presenting qualities identical in all directions, but that one part
of the crystal is exactly as every other part is; and he demon¬
strated by experiments that the degree of cohesion, hardness,
and optical character of several crystals differed in different
directions. One of these consisted in showing that a crystal of
cyauite may be easily scratched by a knife along one of its
faces, while the same face was untouched by the knife drawn
across it; while it needed a substance aa hard as a topaz to
cut it in a third direction. In conclusion, he defined symmetry
in crystals as consisting in directions similarly endowed being
repeated according to a Taw of symmetry which follows that to
which the faces of any one of its forms arc obedient.

THE STEAM-SHTI* FARADAY AND CABLE-LAYINO.

Dr. C. Williams Siemens, F.R.S., at the Friday evenb
meeting, May 15, began his discourse by reminding hia audien
that an electric telegraph now consists of the electro-motor,
battery, the conductor (copper wire), and the receiving instr
ments, of which there are various forms exhibited in t]
library. Attempts, he said, have been made to suppress tl
conducting-wire by employing water or air as the conduct!
which appear to be feasible, but which are successful or
for short distances. An insulating coating for the wire I
been proved to be essentially necessary ; and for this purpoi
after pitch, resin, and indiarubber had failed, gutta-percha s
found to be perfectly effectual, and has been generally us
Bince 1847, when Werner Siemens constructed a coverir
machine. Protection being still needed for the insulated wh
lead and chain tubing ana hemp have been successively ei
ployed to obviate the dangers arising from rust, fc
teredo, whales and sharks, and abrasions from rocks a:

but it was soon discovered that heat was generated, and thi
the gutta-percha consequently melted ; and now the cable
placed in tanks, and, by suitable arrangements, is paid 01
from water to water. Between these tanks there is
testing-room, with apparatus for ascertaining the conditic
of the cable from time to time. To enable the ship to reven

was in the chair. In the library were exhibited in action the
automatic telegraph system, Hughes’s telegraph type-printiug
system, two remarkably quick-actiug submarine Morse print¬
ing instruments, by Dr. Siemens ; ami Messrs. F. H. Varley aud
Edward Furness showed a “power-coupling” for avoiding
sudden strains in paying out cables and other purposes. Electric
writing-balls, by Mr. Sofus Holten and Mr. F. H. Varley, were
also exhibited in action.

MERCURY, VENUS, AND THE MOON.

Mr. Richard A. Proctor began his second lecture on the
Planetary System, on Saturday last, by considering the meagre
amount of information which astronomy affords respecting the
planets Mercury and Venus. He showed that Mercury, owing to
its proximity to the sun, is exposed to a degree of heat which
renders the existence of such forms of life aa wo know j m .
probable if not impossible ; and he explained that the diflicuifcy
is not removed by supposing the air of tho planet to lxj
exceedingly rare. In the case of Venus, the heat is not go
excessive ; nevertheless, if, as De Vico and others allege, her
inclination is nearly twice as great as the earth’s, there mugt
result variations of temperature from a heat far exceeding that
of the terrestrial tropics to a cold equalling that of our arctic
regions ; and such variations occurring in the short year of
Venus (only 225 days) would render life impossible to the
higher forms existing on the earth. Passing to the moon, Mr.
Proctor remarked that it should be regarded rather as a corn-
panion than as a satellite of the earth, since it obeys the sun’s
attraction rather than the earth’s. It should be considered as a
planet largely perturbed by the earth—in fact, as the fifth member
of the terrestrial family of planets circling within the zone of
asteroids. After exhibiting a series of magnified photographs
of the moon in various phases, as well as drawings by mean*
of the lantern aud electric lamp, Mr. Proctor proceeded
to discuss the probable nature .ana succession of the processes
by which the moon’s surface attained its present condition •
first touching on a theoiy which lie had merely suggest™! in
his book on the moon (and for which he had been criticised)—
viz., that the moon’s surface may have been to some degies
affected by meteoric downfalls ; since, according to ProtamiT
Newton's present estimated rate of downfall, one meteor p*r
inch would have fallen on the moon’s surface during the pant
ten million years. Nevertheless, ho said, it would be unreaa< li¬
able to maintain that the general features of tho moon’s
surface arose from any such cause. After considering Mr.
Nasmyth’s explanations, and, in passing, eulogising the work
on the moon recently issued by that gentleman aud Mr.
Carpenter, Mr. Proctor propounded the theory, pai-tly sug-

? ;e8ted in his own treatise, according to which the leading
eatures of the moon’s surface are explained, by dividing her
history into two portions—1, the earlier, when the crust con¬
tracted faster than the nucleus; 2, when the nucleus con¬
tracted faster than the crust. He then dealt with the question
whether changes are still in progress, and arrived at the con- *
elusion that, though this may be the case, no demonstrative
evidence of the fact has yet been obtained. Mars and the Ring
of Small Planets will form the subject of the lecture of to-day
(Saturday).

RECENT STUDIES OF THE BRAIN—INSANITY.

Professor Rutherford, M.D., began his sixth and concluding
lecture, on Tuesday last, with, an account of the experiments
of Fritsch, llit/Ag, and Perrier, who hy exciting different parts
of the cortex of the brain caused movements to be produced in
different parts of the body. These movements, though some¬
times very complicated, are of a definite and predictable
character. Some parts of the cortex of the brain appear to be
also concerned in sensation. No movement is produced by
stimulating the quite anterior part of the cerebrum ; hut if
this part of the brain be removed the animal becomes dull, and
apparently loses intelligence ; this part may therefore be intel¬
lectual. The cerebellum is a great motor ganglion for the
muscles of the eyeball, and appears also to have something to
do with the co-ordination of movements. Dr. Ferrier’s experi¬
ments were performed on monkeys, dogs, cats, and other
animals. No result followed stimulation when the animal was
narcotised by chloroform. In this way it seems to be definitely
shown that different parts of the hemispherical ganglion of the
brain have different functions. This, the fundamental prin¬
ciple of phrenology, Dr. Rutherford considers to be sound ; but
the geography of the brain promulgated by its advocates, he
said, is quite unwarranted, and the pretension to tell mental
characteristics from the shape of the skull ridiculous. During
mental activity the brain is abundantly supplied with blood,
but far less so during sleep ; and a full supply of nourishment
to the brain is therefore essential to vigorous thought. Various
parts of the brain may be influenced by thought, and the brain
itself may be so affected aa to lead to insanity. It cannot,
therefore, be doubted that thought goes on within the brain, and
that the brain is concerned with i£a production. After <i*-
scribing the effects of strychnia, opium, and chloroform upon
brain-action, Dr. Rutherford said that insanity must be re¬
garded as a result of brain disease ; and he stated that
Dr. Batty Luke, of Edinburgh, and himself, in thirty case*
of chronic insanity had found alterations in the brain. It
would, however, be absurd to expect any change of ttmctuie
in the brain of a person temporarily insane through a small
dose of alcohol. He considers that insanity will increase, in
consequence of the greater and greater demand for exertion of
the brain ; but this tendency, he said, may be combated by
the diffusion of a sound knowledge of the conditions for healthy
brain action and of the indications of an abnoimal stile.
Melancholia may result from indigestion and defective nourish¬
ment of the brain, from over-brain work, and from other cause*;
and to remedy this strict attention must be given to the physio*
logical conditions. Every sane individual possesses the power
of aiding the evolution of tho brain, which is the result of rigid
obedience to physiological laws. Meutal action is thus en¬
nobled, and the individual takes a higher place. It is, there*
fore, one of the greatest of our duties not only to avoid every*
thing which tends to reverse this progress aud degrade brain
evolution, but also to cultivate everything that can aid it.
that there may be a continual elevation of the race Tbs
evolution of the brain goes on long after the evoluti<m of other
parts of the individual has ceased ; and man has this evolution
to a large extent in his own hands. By his voluntary
actions he can aid it or reverse it; hence a grave responsibility
rests upon him. In concluding, Dr. Rutherford comment^
upon the immense difficulty of the physiology of the nervuua
8) stem, the small extent of our knowledge respecting
mystery of the connection between body and soul, and the
advantages which result fromau acceptance of the truths of
revelation, how'ever incomprehensible to us in our present state.

through rates the Commissioners have pronounced in favour of
the direct route by Fenny Compton.

The Marquis of Ailesbury presided, last Saturday, at the
annual meeting of the subscribers to the Savernake Cottage
Hospital, held at the Guildhall, Marlborough. This hospital,
which was one of the first institutions of its Kind, stands in one
of the most healthy parts of Savernake Forest. It was founded
a few years ago through the munificence of the Marquis and
Marchioness of Ailesbury and other members of the Bruce
family. The institution receives patients from a large number
of parishes in Wilts and Berks, and its existence is a great boon
to the poor throughout a wide agricultural district. The report
of the committee, read by the honorary secretary, congratulated
the subscribers upon the condition of the funds.

CHESS INTELLIGENCE.

A tournament began more than a year ago at the City of London Chess
Club, which comprised among the combatants some of the strongest
second-class players of that club, has just been concluded. The first prize
was won by Mr. Fenton, the second bv Dr. Ballard, and the third by
Mr. Vyse. Upon a future occasion of tbe same kind the officials of the
dub will do well to adopt some rule for the purpose of hastening pro¬
ceedings a little, seeing that the interest in contests of this description
is apt to evaporate after the first few months.

SCIENTIFIC RESULTS OF THE MONTH.

At length we have an acknowledgment of the unsatisfactory
condition of our ironclad fleet from no less an authority than
the First Lord of the Admiralty; and, although he has been
accused of being an alarmist for the purpose of discredit¬
ing his political predecessors, his objections continue un¬
answered. Certainly, an expenditure of ten millions a year is
adequate for the production and maintenance of a first-class
fleet; and everyone must concur in the justice of Mr. Brassey ■
remarks that, with our great mercantile marine from which to
recruit our men, and with unapproached ship-building power,
we have a potentiality of naval strength which no other country,
and probably no coalition of States, could hope to equal. But
this very circumstance renders the palpable deficiencies of our
irouclad fleet all the moro inexcusable, and the dissatisfaction
of John Bull that with so large an expenditure and with such
unrivalled advantages he has not a single good ship to his back
all the moro just. We all know that the purpose of armour
upon ships is to keep out shot, and its efficiency or otherwise
depends upon its thickness or resisting power relatively with
the penetrating power of the best guns to which it can bo
opposed. Armour so thin that it can be riddled with shot is
worse than no armour at all, Bimply because you are not only
equally exposed to the original shot, but also to the shower of

r enters it carries before it. Now, the fact is incontrovertible
t there is not a single vessel in our ironclad fleet which
can resist penetration by shot from the best existing gun ; while
in by far the greater number of cases the armour is so thm
that it may be pierced by shells and shot from guns
of a very moderate size. It is true that other nations are in
much the same predicament as ourselves. But it is also true
that any nation now producing even one ironclad vessel of a
really efficient character would be able to paralyse our whole
naval power, as the hostile vessel, being herself impenetrable,
having a superior speed, and carrying guns which would pierce
our thickest armourclad, could not herself be captured, and
might sink our vessels in detail. This is a danger which we
should now foresee and provide against—not by increasing our
naval expenditure, but by diverting it into a more useful
channel. The armourclads we now produce should not be such
as will be obsolete even before they are launched, but should
be vessels which will have a margin of safety for at least a few
years of active service. If Mr. Ward Hunt wishes to signalise
his naval administration by superior efficiency without greater
cost, this is the grand object to which he must devote his ener¬
gies. Heretofore we have had many weak vessels. Instead of
this costly feebleness we now want economical strength.

A new process has been patented for obtaining dyes from
sawdust. The sawdust is heated with caustic, soda, and
flowers of sulphur. A sulphide of sodium is thus produced,
which, reacting on the organic matter, dehydrogenates it with
the evolution o^ulphuretted hydrogen. The resulting material
is a dye Btuff, sSd to havo a strong affinity for organic fibres ;
and, by varying the proportion of the materials, different tints
are produced.

A 30-ton steam-hammer has been started in Woolwich
Arsenal during the past month; but the real weight of the
hammer, including the piston and connections, is about 40 tons.
The stroke is 15ft. 3 in., but as the piston is pressed down by
the steam, the blow of the hammer is as forcible as if the
weight fell 80 ft. by gravity alone. The height of the hammer
is 45 ft. ; weight of metal above ground, 500 tons ; weight of
metal below ground in foundations, 665 tons ; cost, about
£50,000. The force with which a hammer is capable of striking
varies with the amount of compression which the material
forged suffers at each stroke, being greatest where the com¬
pression is least. We do not think that steam-hammers are
such efficient forging instruments as hydraulic Bqueezers, as
the shock is too sudden to give time for the thorough expul¬
sion of the scoriie. The hammers, too, involving as they do
such heavy foundations, are more expensive. This hammer has
been erected mainly for welding the coils of the new 80-ton
guns. But with the now ascertained success of the Whitworth
process for casting wrought-iron guns under pressure, the
erection of such a costly plant as this hammer, with its cranes,
furnaces, &c., appears to be of doubtful wisdom, even if the
efficacy of hydraulic squeezing or forging presses had still been
unascertained.

The Vesuvius, the first torpedo-ship of the British Navy,
was launched at Pembroke at the end of last month. Her
chief dimensions are as follow Length, 90 ft. ; breadth, 22 ft.;
depth of hold, lift. 4^in. ; displacement, 241 tons; power,
360 indicated. The deck will be only 3 ft. above water. The
torpedo is to he projected from a pneumatic tube 2 ft. 4 in.
diameter, situated below water. The torpedo will be propelled
at a speed of eight miles an hour by a screw driven Dy small
engines worked by compressed air, and the intention is to
attack armour-clad vessels below the armour. The project is
judicious, and, so far, has been well carried out, though pro¬
bably it is not yet in its ultimate form. Future ironclads must
take precaution against this mode of attack.

During the past month a very valuable paper, by Dr.
Wright, was read before the chemical section of the
Society of Arts, “ On Pyrites as a Source of Sulphur, Iron, and
Copper. ” Dr. Frankland, who was in the chair, indorsed a
remark of Liebig to the effect that the measure of a nation’s
civilisation and prosperity might be taken in the terms of the
sulphuric acid it manufactured. He added that iron pyrites
w as the key to sulphuric acid, so that ultimately the daily con¬
sumption of pyrites may be taken as an index of the national
prosperity. The principal ingredients of pyrites are iron and
sulphur. Yellow iron pyrites consists of about 47 iron and
53 sulphur. Marcasite, or white iron pyrites, has the same
composition, and magnetic iron pyrites, or pyrrhotin, consists
of about 60 iron and 40 sulphur. Some of the pyrites, however,
also contain copper; and latterly a most important industry
has grown up in the utilisation of the cupreous pyrites of
Tharsis and Huelva, in Spain, and of Wicklow, in Ireland.
The pyrites is first burnt in a kiln to expel the sulphur, which
is utilised in the production of vitriol or otherwise. As much
salt is then added as represents four times the copper present,
and the w'hole" is passed through crushing-machines and is
thoroughly mixed. The mixture is next subjected to a dull
red heat for six hours in a suitable furnace, when most of the
copper will have been converted into compounds soluble in
water, while the remainder will be soluble in dilute hydro¬
chloric acid. The material is then placed in tanks of tarred
wood or stone, and lixiviated with hot water, usually heated
by the injection of steam. The insoluble portion is again
lixiviated with dilute acid, and the aqueous and acid solutions
are treated separately. Scrap iron is then placed in tanks into
which the heated solutions are allowed to run, and the copper
is deposited in the shape of a copper mud, which is melted and
refined in the usual war. The insoluble iron residuum, called
f ‘Blue Billy,” is utilised at ironworks, sometimes in the blast¬
furnace, but more commonly in making a bottom or fettling for
puddling furnaces. The Tharsis Company established at
Glasgow to carry out this process at different seaports has been
very successful, and has paid large dividends.

TU.ORILINK

For the TEETH and BREATH.

It may or may not be generally known that microscopical
examinations have proved that animal or vegetable parasites
gather, unobserved by the naked eye, upon the teeth and
gums of at least nine persons in every ten: any individual may
easily satisfy himself in this matter by placing a powerful micro*
■cope srci a partially decayed tooth, when the living animalcules
will be found to resemble s partially-decayed cheese more than
anything else we can compare it to. We may also state that tho
FRAGRANT FLORILINE Is the only remedy yet discoveved aide
perfectly to free the teeth audgums from these parasites without the
slightest injury to the teeth or the most tender gums.

Read this.—From the •• Weekly Times,” March 26, 1871*'TheTo
are so many toilet articles which obtain all their celebrity from
being constantly and extensively advertised, that it makes it
necessary when anything new and good is introduced to the public
that speui&l attention should bo called to it. The most
delightful and efTocttve toilet article for cleansing and beautifying
the teeth that we in a long experience have ever used is the new
Fragrant Floriline. It Is quite a pleasure to use it, and its am-
pertie* of imparting a fragrance to the breath aud giving a penny
whiteness to the teeth make it still more valuable. Of all the
numerous nostrum* (or cleaning tho teeth which from time to time
have been fashionable and popular, nothing to be compared with
the Florilino has hitherto been produced, whether considered as a
beauttficr or a valuable cleaned and preserver of the teeth and
gums.”

'•Floriline "—Tho most eminent Chemists of the day admit
that Florllioo will produce snowy teeth and frmrratit breath
where nothing else will While mineral tooth prostrations injure
the enamel of the teeth, this wonderful vegetable liquid pre¬
serves and beautifies them. Symptoms of demy anti all diecoloura¬
tions ef every sort, disappear like magic ; and by its delightful u>e
the mouth becomes as fragrant and sweet m a (out of flowers ; so
that, in fact, when It has onoe been used, either by tho y#ung or the
old. they will never discontinue It, but, as the “ Christ ianWorld "
truly says, •• Those who once begin to use it will certainly never
willingly give it up."

Another great authority says:—"The Floriline is a vegetable
dentifrice of the purest quality ; it is perfectly harmless in its use—
ben* filing, but not injuring. It imparts to the teeth a pearly and
most beautiful whiteness, gives a delightful fragrance and sweetness
to the breath, and no discovery having the same purpose in view bm
hitherto approached it in interest or success.''

From the “Young Ladies' Journal" :—"An agreeable dentifrice
Is always a luxury. As one of the most agreeable may be reckoned
Flontiue. It cleanses the teeth and imparts ajpleaeant odour to the
breath. It has been analysed by several emloent iprofessors ol
chemistry, and they concur In their testimony to its usefulness.

therefore we cannot do bettor than advise thorn to try the Fragrant

although unquestionably a large ntnuber realised the
privilege; and a most enjoyable privilege it must have
been, with one exception, which we shall presently note.
The weather smiled upon the holiday-makers. For the
most part it has been dry, genial, summery, sunshiny
just such as excursionists into the country might- lrw'
chosen il the choice had been left to them. There was,
however, as we have said, an exception. It lasted but
a few hours, but in the memories of countless
multitudes it left a black mark which will not
soon be effaced. Those few hours fell on Whit Monday
the Bank Holiday—the holiday of holidays—a day
to which thousands upon thousands of metropolitan folk
(not to mention those of the provinces) look forward
with yearning anticipation for many weeks beforehand*
and with tho view of making the best of which they
abridge the supply of their customary wants that they
may possess the wherewithal to do the honours of t/i?
occasion. Whit Monday dawned upon London and its
neighbourhood iu beautiful promise. The two preceding
days had been all that could be desired, and if on Mon¬
day morning a lingering haze tempered tho brightness ol
the sun, it only confirmed the general expectation that
as the hours wore on the atmosphere would bo clear.
And to some extent the expectation was fulfilled, so that
in the early forenoon the poetically disposed might have
quoted to each other the lines of Byron—

Lightly and brightly break? away

The morning from her kerchief grey,

Ah the neon will look ou a sultry day.

Alas ! weather-wise experience was iu this instance sadly
at fault. The glistening augury turned out to be but a
trick of the climate; it was but “ a delusion, a mockery,
and a snare.” It tempted people to forego all pre¬
cautions against a possible change. They donned their
smartest clothes. They wore without anxiety their
most lustrous silks and ribbons. They left their
umbrellas at home—the only proper place, we once
heard a stage-coachman say, in which umbrellas should
be left, because there they are safe and harmless.
And so, fresh, joyous, and eagerly expectant* myriads
upon myriads of the inhabitants of that vast area of
brick and mortal* which we regard as the Emporium of
the World, swarmed from all its outlets, by road, by rail,
by river, into i{ tlie open/;’ to settle down, as preference
might decide, upon one or other of tho3o rural spots

dedicated, to gaiety, relaxation, and refreshment. A
sudden change came o'er tho spirit of the scene. The
noontide belied the morning. Blackness very speedily
overspread the firmament. There was a hush of the
elements, ominous of the turbulence that quickly fol¬
lowed it. Vivid lightning, succeeded by stupendous
bursts of thunder, aud accompanied by a, tropicid down¬
pour of rain, scared tho pleasure-seekers iu the very
lieaxt of their holiday, drove them lielter-skelter to take
refuge where best they could from tlie storm, spoiled
their finery, put an end to their games, damped their
jokes, and, in too many instances, sent them homeward
dripping to the skin. Here and there still more melan¬
choly results ensued. But about six o'clock the rain
held up, and there wore not a few who did their very
best to compensate themselves during the romairing.
hours of the day for the bitter disappointments whidi
had robbed them oi all possibility of enjoying its bwl
hours.

Notwithstanding this contretemps, which, in the
time at which and the neighbourhood in which it
occurred, was as unlucky as it could well be, the industry
of the people has abundant reason to be grateful to Sir
John Lubbock for the boon which ho persuaded Parlb
ment to extend to it. Four holidays in the course of tb
year, recognised and sanctioned by law, aud all but
universally adopted, in England at least, can hardly bs
looked upon as an excess of relaxation to the bulk clour
labouring classes. In the course of time, however, they
will probably bo found sufficient largely aud beneftchily
to modify the taste, perhaps even to mollify the manners,
of the millions who earn their subsistence by the work
of their hands. It is no paradox to say that idle-

to confirm a relish for the higher and mure innocent
pleasures which fresh air and the charms of natural
scenery are sure after awhile to excite. At any rate, the
tendency is from lower to higher, from what is grovelling
and debasing to what is calculated to elevate and refine
the mind. We look back upon the Whitsun holidays of
this year (barring the thunderstorm of Monday last)
with a sense of gratitude ; and we derive from the mode
in which they were commonly spent fresh sustenance for
hope. May the “ Bank Holiday ” of autumn next out¬
shine, in a literal as well as a moral sense, that of Mon¬
day last!

* We have confined our observations to the social
aspects of the topic before us. We see no need for
permitting political questions to thrust themselves into
our consideration of the subject before us. They have
ordinarily the lion's share of public attention and
excitement ) and it is not often that they ask anybody’s
leave to push themselves into notice. This year, how¬
ever, the Whitsuntide season exhibits to our countrymen
nothing very tempting in the way of political movement.
At home, we have the quietude of repose, wliich it was
naid—and said, perhaps, justly—the country bargained
for at the last general election. Abroad, nothing lias
happened during the week calculated to arrest thought
or to awaken anxiety. Our patrician legislators and our
Parliamentary representatives have been able to enjoy,
we trust, an untroubled recess. Nature and art have
opened their precious things to the inspection of those
who take delight in them. The legislators of the land

have no very heavy engagements in prospect, and to
them Whitsun week, however welcome, will not, we
apprehend, have brought that timely relief from weari¬
some toil which made it so pleasant in years gone by.
Perhaps it will not be considered out of place if w r e
express a wish that Whitsuntide next year may be able
to look back upon a larger amount of public work
achieved, as the surest enhancement of the recreation it
will bring with it. _

THE COURT.

The Queen attained her fifty-fifth year on Whit Sunday, when
her Majesty received the joyful intelligence of the birth of her
twenty-second grandchild, Princess Louis of Hesse-Darmstadt
(Princess Alice of England) having given birth to a daughter the
fame day. Both the Princess and. the infant are doing well.

The Queen’s birthday was also signalised by the elevation
of Prince Arthur to the Peerage, under the titles of Earl of
Sutsex and Duke of Connaught and Stratheara.

The Crathie choir serenaded her Majesty on Monday morn¬
ing at Balmoral, and the Queen gave a ball on Wednesday, at

honours [on this auspicious event were duly observed in the
United Kingdom.

The formal celebration is appointed for to-day (Saturday),

The Queen has taken her usual daily out-of-door exercise,
and has visited- various dependants uj>on the Royal demesne,
although rain has fallen heavily on Deeside.

The death of MYnn de Weyer, last Saturday, has caused
her Majesty profound grief. He had been for many years one
of the Queen’s earnest and most valued friends.

The Queen has appointed Captain Sir John Edmund
CommerelJ, R.N., K.C.B., to be one of the Grooms in Waiting
in Ordinary to her Majesty, in the room of Colonel Lord James
C. P. Murray, resigned.

Yacht Club, went to Gravesend on Whit Monday, where he
embarked in Lord Alfred Paget's steam-yacht Cecil, and wit¬

Household Brigade and the Sevcnoaks Vine Club, at Prince's
Ground. Their Royal Highnesses have been also present at a
garden party given by Princess Louise (Marchioness of Lome)
and the Marquis of Lome, at Argyll Lodge, Campden-hill;
and at a dance given by Lady Alfred Paget. The Prince and
Princess have dined with thcT)uke and Duchess of Manchester ;
and have been to the Royal Italian Opera, Covent Garden, and
the Princess's Theatro. His Royal Highness has also dined
with Lord Carlingford and Countess Frances Waldegrave.

The Prince, as a Master of the Bench, will dine in the hall
cf the Middle Temple, on “ Grand Day,” June 11.

The Hon. Mrs. Coke has succeeded the Hon. Mrs. Stonor as
Lady in W siting to the Princess.

The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh were present at a
banquet and concert given by the Duke and Duchess of West¬
minster on Tuesday at Grosvcnor House; and also at the
dinner and reception given on Saturday by the Secretary of
State for India and the Marchioness of Salisbury. The Duke
and Duchess went to Her Majesty's Opera on Monday evening.

Princess Christian of Schleswig-Holstein attained her
twenty-eighth year on Monday last.

Princess Stourdza has arrived at the Alexandra Hotel from

Shiewsbury, the Earl and Countess of Lovelace, and Lord and
Lady Egeiton of Tatton.

The marriage of Mdlle. Kalouka Musurus, the third
daughter of Ida Excellency Musurus Pasha, the Turkish
Ambassador, with Prince Gregoiro Bassaraba de Brancovan was
solemnised on Thursday morning, at the Turkish Embassy in
Bryantton-square, by the Rev. Mr. Popcff, the chaplain of the

Russian chapel in Welbeck-street, according to the rites of the
Greek Church. There was a large and aristocratic assemblage'
to witness the ceremony, and the diplomatic circle was repre¬
sented by many Ambassadors and secretaries of Legations.

KERGUELEN LAND.

The four years' service of H.M.S. Challenger, with a party of
scientific men, employed by her Majesty's Government in ex¬
ploring the depths of the great southern oceans, their currents,
tides and temperature, their atmospheric conditions, and
their*vegetation and animal life, is stiU watched by us with
great interest. Kerguelen Land, a lonely group of islands
between the Indian and the Antarctic Oceans, equally distant
from the southernmost points of Africa and Australia, is the
subject of our Illustrations. A correspondent on board the
Challenger writes as follows ^ *’ _ .

“We arrived at Kerguelen (lat. 49 S., long. 70 E.) on
Jan. 7, and remained more than three weeks, exploring its
shores and inlets, to ascertain the position where tho finest
weather may be expected, at which to establish an observatory
for the astronomers to observe the transit of Venus in December
next. As we could have obtained observations on twelve days
out of the twenty-five of our stay, the astronomers will have a
reasonable chance of fulfilling their mission, and, were it not
for the long sea voyage, of spending a very pleasant time. Tho
weather here now, in summer, may be compared with that of
an English autumn, and the winds with those of an English
winter.

“ We found three Amorican schooners and a barque riming
for whales and hunting sea-elephants on the coaste of this aud
the neighbouring Heard Islands. Tho only published accounts
of Kerguelen are contained in Cook's and Ross’s voyages ; and
the chart is vague, except in the delineation of the ea9t side of
the island, which is much cut up by fiords, formiug a chain of
magnificent harbours. From the information gleaned by the
Challenger, it appears that the west coast is very similar.
About the centre of the island tho bays extend so deeply
into the interior from the south and west coasts that it is
customary to haul boat3 across the dividing isthmus. We
experienced the finest weather in the neighbourhood of Royal
Sound, the deepest bay in the south coast. Its sceuory is
magnifier nt and lovely ; with a labyrinth of innumerable islets
interspersed over upwards of twenty miles of nearly land¬
locked waters. They are sheltered on tho south by the
Wyville Thomson range, a fine volcanic peak 3160 ft. high,
rising as an enormous cone in tho midst of a surrounding
circlet of sugar-loaf peaks, each dwarfed ouly by the parent
mountain ; on the west by Mount Tizard and the towering
snow-clad peak of Mount Ross, rising 6200 ft. in one con¬
tinuous slope from the sea, giving birth to numerous glaciers
in its lower valleys; and on the north by the Crogier range,
3250 ft. high. This was well and appropriately named by
Cook tho lloyal Sound. He was always happy in his nomen¬
clature of newly-discovered land, and probably, when he called
it ‘Royal,’ as being situated between tho capes ho named
after the King and the Prince of Wales, he saw the fitness
of (he name in another sense.

“The island is ninety miles long by sixty broad—about the
size of Corsica or Wales—and is situated in about the same
corresponding latitude as the latter, tho one in the northern,
the other in the southern hemisphere. It certainly does noc
enjoy the same temperature ; as, although we were there in the
middle cf summer, the thermometer seldom registered above
42 deg., which was sufficiently cold to be felt very keenly on
the hill rides.

“ Great numbers of ducks were shot, but no animals were
seen. The sea lei s have killed everything off but the penguin
and sea birds. It rabbits -were once introduced they would
thrivo well on the cabbage plant, which grows wild all over
the island. Three goats were landed in hopes of introducing
them. Dr. Hooker, who visited tho island w ith llos3 in 1859,
made such a perfect botanical collection that we have been
unable to add much to it.

“The island was first called ‘the Island of Desolation,’
and is known by that name to the sealers. But so far a3 wo
were concerned it was very inappropriate. During our short
stay we enjoyed ourselves greatly. There w.n a great same¬
ness in the general appearance of the land ; but tha luxuriant
green carpet of moss and cabbage plant, extending siine
500 ft. up the hill sides, through tvhich numerous cascades
descending from the small sheltered patches of snow lefo from
the winter on the rocky hill-tops force their way, forms a
unique landscape.

“ On our second attempt, having been at first driven back
by a westerly gale, we succeeded in rounding Cape George,
the southernmost jioint seen by Cook, and fixing tho south
capo of the island, which has been named Cape Challenger.”

THE VOLUNTEERS.

At a field-day of metropolitan volunteer corps, held in
Regent’s Park, last Saturday, about 1S00 men mustered, undor
the command of Colonel Bruce. They were put through a
prolonged series of movements.

On the invitation of Earl Cowper, who has on several occa¬
sions invited the metropolitan volunteers to join the Hertford¬
shire men, a field-day was, on Monday, held at his Lordship’s
beautiful seat, Panshanger Park, which, but for the heavy
downpour of rain which fell daring the proceedings, would
have been interesting. The Queen’s (Westminster) proceeded,
on Monday, to Cliveden by special train from Paddington,
and took part in a field-day. Some of the London artillery-
corps went to Sheerness, and a large number of riflemen were
engaged at the rifle-ranges round London in fulfilling the
Government requirements of musketry practice.

Increased success has this year attended the great All-
England rifle-meeting at Brighton. Crack shots from nearly
every county in England anu Wales, and many from tho sister
kingdoms, joined in the competition. The two days' shootiug
was concluded on Saturday, and the final prizes were announced.

To-day (Saturday) the official brigade field-day of the St.
George’s, Victorias, and other cor^s will beheld in Hyde Park ;
and Colonel Lane Fox, commanding tho 48 th Brigade Dop'»t,
will hold a field-day of Surrey volunteers at Wimbledon.

The metropolitan rifie contest for £750, including £535
open to all comeis, was brought to a close on Thursday week,
at tho Scrubbs rangeB, when the principal results of tho contest*
which lias attracted many of the best shots of the country,
were announced. In the first match for all-comers Corporal
Mullineaux, of the 40th Lancashire, topped tho score of a
London Rifle Brigade man (Private Munu) by one point, and.
took the first prize of £20 with 53 points— splendid shooting
at 200, 500, and 600 yards, fivo shots. With one point les.%
Privates Munn and Lawford, of Harrow, took the second and
thiid prizes of £12 10s. In the same series fifty-seven other
prizes were awarded for scores ranging from 51 to 43. In tho
second all-comers’ match, at the same range and for a similar

with 49. and receiving £12 10s. each. The other winning scores
ranged from 48 to 41. 6

MAY 30, 1874

THE BAZAAR AT CALCUTTA.

A newly-published volume, “ Letters from India and Kashmir,"
of v hich we shall presently say more, contains, at page 9G, the
following passage of lively and familiar description :—

“ The native bazaars of Calcutta are narrow, crowded, aud
tortuous. Your conveyance soon comes to a stand, and i3 sur-
ronndctl by a deafening crowd. * Sahib ! salam, Sahib ! ’ His
bands are pressed together, and he looks at you with a grimace
intended to express abject entreaty. 1 Fine dressing-gown,
handkerchief, Cashmere cap. Sahib! Please, honour Sahib,
come rec my shop ! Very beautiful I most cheap ! Bombay
boxes, pine-apple, dress ! *

" ‘ Sahib/ here breaks in another dealor, * that man dam
liar. Ton no ttust him. Ho got no shop ; he poor broker.
Come, Sahib, my shop alongside ; everything what you like—
what you want, Sahib, price you like. China crape, ivory
chessmen, backgammon, handkerchiefs! ’

“* Sahib/ solemnly remonstrates an older impostor, “ these
men all rogues ; they great big cheats, Sahib, good Sahib ! Oh,
Sahib ! one moment, Sahib ! See my goods, Sahib ! Only look ;
buy some other day ; only look. Sahib !’

“ But the crowd or stoppage having given way, you manage
to get rid of this importunate band, after vainly repeated
attemy ts to assure them that you want none of the articles
they thrust upon you.

“If, however, you are tempted into one of these shops, a
chair Aril! be brought, covered for you with a white sheet,
and then sweetmeats offered. It is a small place, not more
than l(jft. wide by perhaps 30 ft. deep ; but in the back rooms

“AH this goes on during the heat of the day ; for the shops
arecloFfd, in Ike. morning and evening, with heavy padlocks
and chains at ike bottom joining the door on both sides to the
door frame. The native bazaar, in close proximity to the
European quarter, extends a great distance; and the narrow
streets,J of most squalid houses as a rule, barely allow* two
vehiclesio pass.”

Now, the subject of onr Illustration, “ A Shop in the Native
Bazaar at Calcutta/’ does not much resemble this scene of be¬
wildering bustle and profuse display of various merchandise to
compete for the custom of the English Sahib. Ibis simply a
view' of those humbler stalls, perhaps in the same bazaar, where
the few articles of domestic need for the poorer classes of the
Bengalee people are offered for sale. But the spirit of retail
trade is the fame all over the world, be its object the gain of
mpets or pounds and shillings ; of annas and pice, of dollars,
francs, or prnce. It is one thing, however, wheu the rich come
to buy what they do not really want; another thing when the
poor conm to buy what they do.

Having borrowed tho foregoing sample of “Letters from
India arid Kashmir,” we have to state that tho publishers of
this book ar«» Messrs, George Bell and Sons ; but the author’s
name docs not appear on the title-page. He is a keen observer,
and reflects with much good sense and good humour upon
whatever ho Fees. Some appropriate reading of history, too,
lias informed him of the associations of places he has visited
with f vents of the past. Hia notions of ethuology, indeed, are
peculiar, ns he is bent on proving that the Indians of Hindostan
are a kindred race to the Bed Indians of North America. But
some authors have declared the latter to be no other than the
lost tribes of Israel, and it is a topic free to any range of con¬
jecture. The route pursued in 1870 by the present writer—
whose writing, indeed, was dono at the time in private letters
to his father, now collected and enlarged for the public—was
by the Bed Sea to Bombay, thence to Ceylon, but crossing
Southern India from Calicut over the Neiigherry Hills ;
again, from Ceylon to Madras, and from Madras to Calcutta,
by sea ; after this, to Agra and Delhi, whence he repaired
to tl:e Himalaya health-station of Simla. The Punjaub and
Kashmir, or Cashmere as we nsed to spell it, occupy a hundred
pages. This is not the least interesting part of the book; and
thongh many tourists or residents have told us a great deal
about Umritsir and Lahore ; also, of Srinuggnr, amidst its lakes
and rivers, with surrounding mountains, and of the ruined
temple of Marttand, we find here much that rewards contem¬
plation, from fresh points of view. The descriptive notices are
furnished with an excellent accompaniment in tho numerous
engravings, drawn by Mr. H. It. Robertson, mostly from the
author’s own sketches, and engraved by Mr. W. J. Palmer.
There are twenty or thirty page engravings, and above one
hundred of smaller size. One of the former class we should
think ought to be especially attractive to the lady reader’s eye.
It is a landscape view from the topmost peak of the Tukht-i-
Suhman, where is perched the venerable temple of Shunkur
Chnrah, 2000 years old. . In the vast low plain beneath this
summit, among the frontier mountains of the Punjaub, is seen
the w inding course of Jlielum, whose symmetrical curves are
said to have suggested the graceful ornamental pattern of
C ashmere shawls. We could point to several of Mr. Robertson’s
illustrations to this volume as worthy of their interesting sub¬
jects ; the printing and paper, too, are of superior quality, and
there is more than average merit in the whole publication.

FRANCE.

(From our Corrc^ondent in Paris.)

Thursday, May 28.

The crisis is at length over, and a new Ministry has at last been
formed. The nominal Premier is General do Cissey, M. Thiers’s
Minister of War, who exercises the functions of Vice-President
of the Council and Minister of War in the present Cabinet, but
the real leader of tho new Government is undoubtedly Due
Dccazes, who retains the portfolio for Foreign Affairs, which he
held under the Due de Broglie. Two other members of the
former Ministry are included in the present one—M. Magne,
now (as before) Minister of Finance, and M. do Four ton, who
has exchanged the portfolio of Public Instruction for that of
the Interior. M. Caillaux, a civil engineer, becomes Minister
of Public Works ; M. Grivart, an advocate from Hennes, holds
the Ministry of Commerce; M. Tailhand, a provincial magis¬
trate, is appointed Keeper of the Seals ; while the Ministry of
Marine is given to Admiral de Moutaignac, a comparatively
unknown naval officer; and that of Public Instruction to tho
Vicomte de Carmont, a Jeauitist proteg^ of Bishop
Doupauloup and M. de Falloux, Numerous rumours are in
circulation in reference to the programme of the new
Government; but nothing is yet known tor certain, the current
opinion being that it will jog on without meddling with consti¬
tutional questions.

Public attention has been directed during the last few days
upon the election which took place last Sunday in the depart¬
ment of the Ni6vre for the seat vacated by General Ducrot a
few months ago. The contest, which was extremely animated,
resulted in a Bonapartist victory, tho votes being divided
as follow:—M. Philippe de Bourgoing (Bonapartist), 37,590 ;
M. Gudin (Republican), 32,157 ; M. dc Pazzis (Legitimist),
4527. M. de Bourgoing, the successful candidate, was formerly
one of Napoleon Hl/a equerries. The Imperialists are natu¬
rally very jubilant over their success and the Republicans some¬
what downcast, the two previous elections in that department
having proved favourable to their cause. The Legitimists
allude with great bitterness to the small number of votes ob¬
tained by their candidate, and remark that whenever a partisan
of the Republic fails to secure the seat it is a Bonapartist, and
not a protege of their own, who proves successful. They find
the result the more annoying, as General Ducrot, the former
deputy, was a Bfcanch partisan of Henri V.

M. Thiers received a deputation from the Gironde on Sun¬
day afternoon, which furnished him with the occasion for an
important speech, advocating the dissolution of the Assembly,
which has produced no little sensation in Paris. He began
by passing in review the principal incidents of his own adminis¬
tration, and, when alluding to his fall, remarked that he was
overthrown because he was unwilling to favour Monarchical
intrigues, since when the majority had shown that they were
incapable of establishing the regime which they reproached
him with not having restored. He affirmed once more his con¬
viction that tho Republican form of government was alone
suited to France, and warmly advocated a dissolution, remark¬
ing that tho more the Assembly retarded this “ aote de raison ”
the less moderate and less conservative tho elections for the
new legislative body would be.

Count d’Alton Shee, peer of France under Louis Philippe,
and a warm partisan of Ledru Rollin after the revolution of
1848, died in Paris a few days ago. He was buried on Monday
last, without any .religious rites, the hearse being followed by a
large number of Republican deputies aud journalists. M.
Gambetta made a short speech over the grave, in which ho
alluded to the shameful manner in which M. d’Alton Sh. o had
been neglected by hia own party, who refused to believe in his
sincerity. “The dying arc prophets,” he exclaimed, in con¬
clusion ; “and a few hours before ho expired M. d’Alton Shee
expressed his firm conviction in the delinitive triumph of the
Republic.”

The new German Ambassador, Prince de Hoheulohe, has
been received this week by Marshal Mac Mai ion, with a con¬
siderable amount of pomp, at the Ely sc a Palace. The Ambas¬
sador assured the Marshal of the German Emperor’s sympathy,
and of his solicitude for the maintenance of peace between the
two nations, to which the President rejoined by promising to
do his utmost to ensure that" desired result—an empty piece of
parade on both sides which might have been dispensed with.

The duel between Prince Meiternich aud Count de Monte¬
bello took place a few days ago at St. Cloud, the sword being
the weapon eventually selected. The combat lasted twenty
minutes, and ended on the Count being scratched on the arm.

Marshal MucMahon was present at the Grand National
Steeplechase at Auteuil on Monday last, the stakes of which,
£1C00, were competed for in the midst of a violent thunder¬
storm. Sixteen horses started, and Miss Hungcrford, an English
mare, unexpectedly came in first, amidst the plaudits of a
large number of our more speculative fellow-countrymen,
attracted to Paris by the event.

ITALY.

The bill annulling unstamped and unregistered deeds was,
on Sunday, rejected in the Chamber of Deputies by ballot by a

projects to replace that on unregistered deeds, which the
Chamber lmd rejected. He requested the Chamber to continue

measures required by the Administratiom The House then

new district church at Mill End.

On Sunday, the 10th inst., the English Church of St.
Andrew, Patras, near Corinth, Greece, was dedicated for
religious worship by the Right Rev. C. W. Sandford, D.D.,
Bishop of Gibraltar.

The Rev, O. A. and Mrs. Hodgson have been presented
with a chaise, pony, and harness, and a silver salver, as a token
of regard from a large number of their parishioners, on their
leaving the Vicarage, Alton, Hants, after eleven years’ earnest
woik in that place, for the Rectory, East Stoke, Dorset.

A meeting of the Norwich Diocesan Church Association was
held last Saturday, at which Dean Goulburn moved a resolution
condemning the Public Worship Regulation Bill. After a long
debate, however, an amendment approving the measure and
* adopting a petition to the House of Lords in its favour was
carried by a large majority.

The Bishop of Ely reopened the restored church of
Madingley, near Cambridge, on Wednesday, and a luncheon
afterwards took place in the fine old hall, tho former seat of the
Cotton family, and the residence of the Prince of Wales during
his academical career at Cambridge. Bishop Woodford reopened
the parish church of Tomptford on the preceding day.

In the Court of Arches, yesterday week, an application was
made, in the caso of 41 Martin v. Maokonochie,” to Sir Robert
1‘hillimore to accept letters of request from tho Bishop of
London for the purpose of instituting a suit against the Vicar
of St. Alban’s, Holbom, upon several charges in connection
with hi3 mode of celebration of Divine service. The Dean of
Arches accepted the letters of request, and ordered a citation
to be served upon Mr. Mackonochie.

D*\ Pusey, in republishing his recent letters on the Clergy
Discipline Bill, prefaces them with suggestions for healing tne
differences which that measure is intended to repress. The
first requisite, he says, is to have it defined by law what is the
ritual of the Church of England ; the second, that, after having
fixed the ritual, there should be some means of restraining
changes against the wishes of worshippers. Speaking for the
High-Church clergy, lie says that fatherly and loving treatment
by the bishops would win over the great body of them, while
individual excesses would drop off.

The interesting little festival for children known as the
f * flower sermon,” which takes place annually at this season in
tie Church of St. Catherine Cree, came off on Tuesday even¬
ing, The place of worship was crowded, the greater part of
the congregation being young people, who, almost without an
exception, carried flowers in their hands. A sermon, full of
gofd advice to his youthful audience, was preached by the Rev.
V\ Meynell Whittemore, D.D., Rector of the united parishes
of J* t. Catherine Cree and St. James’s, Aldgate. It is the
curfom in these flower sermons to make the discourse turn upon
some well-known plant or flower, and on the present occasion

the Rev. Doctor chose for his text the words “ Sweet cin¬
namon.” He drew [a picture of the virtues of the cinnamon
plant, and pointed out the lessons to be drawn from it.

Tbe Incorporated Church Building Society held its annual
general court, at 7, Whitehall, on the 22nd inst. The Bishop
of Ripon occupied tho chair, supported by tho Bishops of
Carlisle and St. Asaph, the Earl of Powis, the Archdeacous of
Middlesex, Westminster, Maidstone, and others. Mr. H.
Gerard Iloare was elected as treasurer of the society, ami the
members going out by rotation were all re-elected. The Rev.
George Ainslie, the secretary, read the report. It showod that
the total income of the society for the year had been £78o0,
and the expenditure £7216 ; that 128 grants had been mado
towards building ninety-one new cburebo3, rebuilding eighteen,
and repairing seventy-nine. Tho School-Church and Mission-
House Fund had received, in the course of the year, £922,
which sum includes £500, a portion of the London Merchants’
munificent donation of £5000. The repair funds held in trust
by the society have increased during the past year by £1290,
and the total sum thus held now amounts to £61,897.

ELECTION ITEMS.

The petition against the return of Messrs. Pease and Major
Beaumont, members for South Durham, has been withdrawn.

Mr. Baron Bramwell opened, on Monday, an inquiry into
the petition against the return of Mr. Isaac Lowthiau Ball and
Mr. Charles Mark Palmer, the members for North Durham.

The hearing of the Durham (City) election petition inquiry
was concluded yesterday week. Mr. Baron Bramwell, in
delivering judgment, although exonerating the Liboral candi¬
dates themselves (Messrs. Thompson and Henderson), found
that treating and bribery by agents had occurred. Tho late
election was therefore declared null and void. The candidates
were declared unseated, and were ordered to pay the costs of
the present proceedings.

Mr. O’Donnell (Home Ruler), who was elected for tho
borough of Galway upon the vacancy created by the succes 3 -
sion of Viscount St. Lawrence to the earldom of Howth, was
yesterday week unseated by Mr. Justice Lawson, who held
that the election was not a free one ; that Mr. O’Donnell was
guilty by himself and his agents of intimidation ; and that the
Rev. Peter Dooley and the Rev. Martin Cummins were guilty
of exercising undue influence and intimidation. The petitioners
are allowed their costs.

At Bolton Mr. Justice Mellor pronounced, on Tuesday, a
qualified decision on the charges of bribery laid against Mr.
Cross, the Liberal sitting member. Tho use of railway passes,
he thought, did not amount to bribery, and the sending of
slips from the polling-place to the Radical coimnittee-room,
though illegal, was not of a nature to invalidate the seat.
Mr. Cross was, therefore, declared duly elected, but lie was
ordered to pay the costs of the petition in so far as related to
violations of the Ballot Act.

Lord Ormidale, the presiding Judge in the Wigtown Burghs
petition, on Tuesday decided, in accordance with the judg¬
ment of tbe Second Division of the Court of Session, that
several votes given for Mr. Mark Stewart, who won the seat
from Mr. Young in February last, were invalidated on account
of defective marking. Mr. Young is now in a majority of one;
but, as since the election he has been elevated to the Bench, tho
seat is vacant. Mr. Young, it will be remembered, was Lord
Advocate of Scotland in the late Administration.

Mr. Disraeli’s constituents having subscribed for the expenses
of the contest forced upon him by Mr. Talley, recently
banded to his agent a sum of nearly £1600. The Premier, in
accepting this graceful gift, stated that he could only look upon
it as the act of a generous and high-spirited constituency, which
it would bo presumptuous in him to decline.

The polling at Poole, to fill the vacancy occasioned by tho
unseating of Mr.,Waring, took place on Tuesday, when the Hou.
Evelyn Ashley (Liberal) was returned by 631 votes, against 622
for Sir Ivor Bertie Guest, tho Conservative candidate.

At a meeting of the Irish Rifle Association, on Tuesday
final arrangements were made for the visit of the Irish team to
the United States in September next. It was arranged that tho
team should consist of eight and two spare men. The match
will take place about the last week ia September,

SKETCHES IN PARLIAMENT.

Time was when the public knew very little about ordinary
Scotch Parliamentary business, for the simple reason that it
appeared before the House of Commons in the briefest and most
undemonstrative shape. There were two reasons for this. In .
the first place, so far as reporting debates wa 3 concerned, the
London newspapers put Scotland very much on a par with
Little Fcdlington, and next to ignored all discussions, fe was they
were, on Scottish affair's. Then there was a laudable custom
for Scotch members to meet outside of the House in * ‘caucus ’ and
discuss measures in which they were concerned, until everything
was “ squared,” and bills come before the Legislature not to be
debated, but to be passed formally through their several stages.
But all that is changed now, from a simple cause. The Scotch
newspapers a few years ago organised a system by which the
speeches of every Scottish member were folly reported, and
thus brought before the interested notice of the northern con¬
stituencies. It would have answered this purpose if the Scotch
members had written their speeches, and sent them to the
local papers for publication, confining themselves to mumbling
out a few sentences in the House. But this was not to be.
The natural desire to see oneself in print prevailed, and
members from the other side of the Tweed, great and little,
indict their oratory in full on the House, certain of being
canonised in their local journals. It ha 3 thus coma to pass |
that many a legislative flower—it may bo a thistle—which
would bavo blushed unseen has appeared in vigorous
efflorescence before the delighted Lower Chamber of the
Legislature. Tliis statement is made apropos of a set 1
Scotch debate, which has recently taken place, and
which brought out one or two of the best specimens* of Scottish
membf rdom. The subject was liquor, and the object to limit
in some degree the facilities for obtaining strong drinks in Scot¬
land. The propounder was Sir Koborb Austruther, w r ho h
possessed of a strong, straightforward style of speaking, infused
with a geniality which renders him pleasant to listen to ;
aud on this occasion a very long speech whiohhe delivered did

pity-thc -Borrows-of-a-poor-old-man style which it is his fancy
to a licet. Then a new member for Glasgow^ Dr. Cameron—who
is a good example of the sensible, practical member, which
most .Scottish representatives are—gave a taste of his quality ;
and Mr. Kinnaird, who is known to have a special horror of
drunkenness, even of the genial and vivacious kind, was
beaming, as usual. As to Dr. Lyon Playfair, from his
first entry into the House he showed that h&vduL hat
intend to give up to Scotland what was meant for mankind,
and he at once assumed the position of a large-viewed and par¬
ticularly suggestive legislator. Nevertheless, he bencU himself
on all occasions to the concerns of Scotland, and on this was
not wanting. Although the general debate was Scottish, the
subject was irresistible to Sir Wilfrid Lawsou, and he infused a
slight English element into it, bub of course a still larger ele¬
ment of prohibitory liquor opinion, and as much of jest aud
gibe as was expected of him.

There is, besides Dr. Playfair, another Scotch member who
does not narrow himself down to Scottish affairs, but addresses
himself to the interests of the whole kingdom, with a'some¬
what ludicrous effect. This is Mr. Anderson, the working-
man’s choice at Glasgow — a choice which some cynical
people say is an illustration of the electoral eccentricities
of that class. This gentleman has for some little time
devoted himself to nosing out peccadilloes in Army ad¬
ministration and tho personal conduct of officers, and
lie had stumbled upon a dreadful case — namely, that
Lord Sandhurst, formerly known in a distinguished sense
as Gene ml bir William Mansfield, had absented himself from
the duties of his command of the troops in Ireland, but had,
nevertheless, drawn all his local allowances, in order to obtain
which he had sent in erroneous accounts to the financial autho¬
rities. Encouraged by the fact that the War Minister had
insisted on Lord Sandhurst refunding the special money which
lie had received, Mr. Anderson gave notice of a motion which
asked tho House severely to censure the proceedings of the
gallant General. It was floating about on the notice-paper, un¬
dated, observing which Mr. Disraeli, in a tone of stern rebuke,
demanded that it should be brought on forthwith, aud gave a
Government night for the purpose. Thus it happened that Mr.
Anderson was raised into a position of considerable prominence^;
and probably his nerves, a little tried by that circumstance,
were still more shaken by there being before him, on the
evening when he had to make his motion, a tremendous
He use, and, still wrorse, an immense gathering in the

f allenes of military officers of rank, peers, aud others.

ic, tli ere fore, delivered himself in a half-frightened way ; and
was positively lenient and excusatory to the person whom
he was more or less accusing. Scarcely able to speak, owing
to catarrh, Mr. Hardy nevertheless was boisterous ana
voluble under difficulties; but Lord .Sandhurst gained very
little from his advocacy, for he confessed aud avoided the
accusation, and his strongest point was that the House ought
not to interfere in a matter of military discipline. Not so Mr.
Horemau ; for he, with all his force—and ho has a good deal of
force left still—actually belauded Lord Sandhurst for all he had
done, and declared him to be the victim of wrong and outrage
done by the late War Ministry, as the agents and tools of°a
pseudo-economical Government, which wanted the paltry sum
which was refunded to reduce the Estimates and swell the
surplus 5 and to this end they had been guilty of the “ shabbiest
siui dirtiest action he could call to mind. The Ministerialists
had all along so demeaned themselves a 3 to indicate that they
had come to a foregone conclusion ; and at a quarter to seven
o clock they took care that not another word should be said,
and when Air. Anderson, apparently “ affrighted by the noise
buns el r hail raised,” offered to withdraw his motion, the offer
was contemptuously and vociferously rejected, aud it was
negatived amidst what must be called “yells of triumph.”

It is observable that Sir Michael Hicks-Boach has* got into
favour, which might be suspected to be dangerous, with the
-Lnsh members, and especially with those who are usually the
most recalcitrant, and—to use a coarse but expressive phrase—
most bumptious. He is certainly conciliatory, and really seems
to be deeply impressed with a desire to do his duty towards
Ire and, but that is no reason why he should obtain the good¬
will of so-called representatives of 1 reland. A special example
of the influence he seems to have attained was to be found on
an occasion when he introduced a measure relating to public
health in Ireland. All through his speech he was well cheered,
and at its t nd he was complimented and blessed by foremost
Irish members for undertaking to make their couutry sanitarily
■clean—an undertaking which may suggest recollections of one
of the labours of Hercules.

In the House of Lords, yesterday week, the subjects of a
minister of education, the widening of Parliament-street, and
railway accidents were discussed. In the Commons the ques¬
tion whether Oxford should be a military centre was dealt with
in a debate of much vigour and vivacity, and a motion for iu«

quiry whether the arrangement was a fitting one was lost by
170 votes to 77. Some bills were advanced a stige. Both
Houses adjourned to June 1 .

NATIONAL SPORTS.

The card on the concluding day of the Newmarket Second
Spring was composed chiefly of matches, aud did not present
any great interest. In the Exning Two-Year-Old Plate, Cash¬
mere improved in her previous running at the meeting ; still
she had no chance with Lady Glcnorchy, whom she has neaten
easily on two or three other occasions, and it is clear that
she is sadly in need of a rest. The running of the week seems
to leave Hero and Telescope at the head of the two-year-old
form up to the present time, yet it is said that M. Lefevre has
two or three superiors to the former in his stable. During the
week the stewards of the Jockoy Club reopened the case of
Princess Theresa, who was disqualified at Chester, and, re¬
versing the previous decision, gave her the race. The case is a
very complicated one, and w r e hear that it will be taken into
a court of Jaw.

Bath and Manchester have been the two chief meetings of
the present week, but there is really very little to be said about
either of them. Bath is rapidly falling into the catalogue of
minor meetings, and needs some very energetic measures to
restore it to its former position. Mary White, a daughter of
Brown Bread and Fenella, won a couple of events on Tuesday ;
but in the Weston Stakes, for wdiich she started a strong
favourite, she could only finish third, Pope Joan, a filly by
Rataplan—Chanoinesse, securing a neck victory. Spectator
did not run for the Twenty-Second Biennial Stakes, which leffc
it quite at tho mercy of Aventuriure, avho had only Bloomfield
and a stable companion to beat. Manchester, unlike Bath, is
rapidly improving, and, as a very considerable sum of money was
add ed to the principal stakes, there were some capital entries. J ohn
Peel, who was in such capital form at Chester, succumbed to
Thirkleby in the Copeland Stakes. He was, however, attempt¬
ing to concede ff lb., and two or three races, with the ground in
its present hard state, are almost sure to upset a two-year-old.
CkaDUcp, who certainly appeared to be very leniently weighted,
wos made a strong favourite for the De Trafford Cup ; but his
form appears to have entirely deserted him, aud he had no
chance with Tyro. On Wednesday Eusfcon, a high-priced son
of The .Miner and Fern, won his first race for Captain Machell;
and tho success of Cambuslang (7 st. 51b.) is satisfactory evidence
Of the excellence of Andred, and, through him, of the good form
of Atlantic.

It is almost unnecessary to state that the Derby will be
run for next week, and few additions aro needed to our remarks
of last Saturday. Ecossais, after being backed down to 12 to 1
in spite of his poor performance in the Two Thousand, has
been tried over a mile and a half with Miss Tofco and Boulet,
and beaten so far that he is scarcely likely to go to Epsom,
where Fordham will vide Feu d*Amour. Aquilo also occupies
a very unsteady position, and the followers of Mr. Merry seem
quite unable to decide between tho respective merits of
Glenalmond and Daniel. Tipster has gone back in the betting;
but Couronue de Fer, in spite of his alleged roaring, has actually
touched 9 to 1, though it requires great faith to believe that
Air. Pad wick and Matthew Dawson have sold a Derby winner
for the sum of 2500 gs. Never did the race seem so “ open” as
on the present occasion, and the whole body of tipsters would
do well to follow Mark Twain’s excellent advice, “Never
prophesy unless you know.”

The great annual cricket-match of Novth v. South was
played at Lord’s at the beginning of the week, aud resulted in
a victory for the latter by eight wickets. Owing to the tre¬
mendous thunderstorm on Monday, tho ground was very dead,
aud no long scores were made. Mr. W. G. Grace going in twice
for thirteen. Southerton and J. O. Shaw wore m great fores
with the hall, taking thirteen and ten wickets respectively.
Several of the Notts players being engaged at Lord’s, the team
which opposed sixteen of Derbyshire was very weak, and
suffered defeat by fourfceeu wickets. For the winners, Mr. R.
P. Smith (42) and Mr. S. Richardson (29) were the chief
scorers ; while Mr. T, Wright (11 aud 31) and R. Daft (19 and
23) did best for Nottinghamshire.

LAW AND POLICE.

FINE ARTS.

An article on the Landscapes, Ac., in the Royal Academy
Exhibition, is unavoidably deferred until next week.

A new picture-gallery, called “The Regent Hall,” has bsen
opened at the cast end of Piccadilly. The chief attraction of
the exhibition is Maclise’s “ Marriage of Strongbow,” one of
the painter’s largest—and, so far as we remember, his finest —
work in oil. It was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1851,
and purchased by the late Lord North wick for £1000. After
the dispersion of the Northwiek collection, the picture under¬
went various vicissitudes till it was knocked down, not long
ago, at Phillips’s auction-rooms, for £700. The design was to
have been executed in Westminster Palace, but, owing to soma
misunderstanding with tho Fine-Arts Commission, the project
was not carried out. It was, however, the exeqution of this
noble picture which prepared tho way for Maclise undertaking
the great Waterloo and Trafalgar wall-paintings in the Royal
Gallery, Westminster. The collection numbers nearly 300
works ; and among the principal are a reduced replica of Mr.
Frith’s “Marriage of the Prince of Wales;” “The Scotch
Statute Fair,” by J. Faed, and examples of other distinguished
living artists and of some deceased masters. As, however,
nearly the whole have been previously exhibited, we arc not
called upon to offer criticism.

The painter of the picture “Stiff in Sight,” which we lately
engraved, is E. \erveer, not “Vender,” as printed.

The annual exhibition of the Liverpool Society of Water-
Colour Painters was closed on Saturday last. Increased success
has, wo understand, attended this year’s exhibition.

The Times states that the Scottish Judges have unauimoualy
resolved to report against the removal of their appeals from
the House of Lords. The Irish Bar have come to a similar
resolution. m

Vice-Chancellor Bacon had before him on Saturday last a
suit—the Earl of Derby v. the Earl of Sefton—the object of
which was the settlement of a scheme for the disposal of the
unappropriated surplus of the Lancashire Cotton Famine Belief
Fund. The amount is £130,000 ; and it was proposed that the
money sdiould be applied to the establishment or maintenance
in the cotton district of convalescent hospitals for working mea
and working women. His Honour referred the matter to
chambers in order that a scheme might be prepared.

Mr, Albert Grant’s appeal from the decision of Vice-Chan¬
cellor Malins in the case of the Mineral Hill Mining Company
was rejected by the Lords Justices. It wa 3 a suit by one of
the financial agents engaged in the purchase of the property for
commission, which Mr. Grant had paid to another agent in dis¬
regard of an arbitration award prescribing the mole of pay¬
ment. Lord Justice James said that Mr. Grant, having chosen
to pay £1750 to the wrong person, must pay it over again.

On Monday the Conrfc of Exchequer had before it the case
of “ Drnnum v. R. Vans Agnew, M.P.” It was an action ia
trover for the alleged wrongful conversion of a promissory note
for £2000, drawn by the defendant. The trial took place last
year, at Guildhall, before the Lard Chief Baron and a special
jury, and a verdict for the plaintiff was returned for the
amount claimed. Subsequently a rule nisi wa 3 obtained to set
aside the verdict; ,but the Court decided that it ought to
stand, and that the motion for a rule must be dismissed.

Grave censure was pronounced by Mr. Justice Denman, lint
Tuesday, on the practice of bringing trivial cases for trial
before the superior courts. The particular suit before him wv*
one in which a lengthened inquiry was made into a builder’s
charges for labour and material, the sum in dispute being £ 3 .

Trinity Term, the last under the legal system which will
remain in existence until the Judicature Act conies into ope¬
ration, in November next, opened yesterday week.

For altering an affidavit in the Record Office, a solicitor of
twenty years* standing has been suspended for six months by
order c.f the Master of the Rolls.

At the Middlesex Sessions, on Tuesday, Charles Adeaey,
aged forty-seven, described as a clerk aud well educated,
pleaded guilty to having, on Nov. 20 last, stolen £10 ; on
Nov. 24, £40 ; and on March 9, £50, the property of his
wasters, Messrs. Low, Son, aud Haydon, of 148 and 330, Strand,
perfumers. It was a part of the prisoner’s duty to pay money
into his masters’ account at tho bank, and when doing so he
was famished with a paying-in slip, on which the amount to bo
paid in was entered, lie had, however, contrived to get a number
of these paying-in slips from the bank, and used, after destroy¬
ing the sup given him, to fill up one of his own with a smaller
amount than the one intrusted to him, then pay in that smaller
sum, and appropriate the difference between tbe sum given hiui
and that paid in. In this way he had stolen upwards of £600.
It also appeared that he had obtained his situation by false
references ; as it had since transpired that, in 1862, he had
been sentenced to four years’ penal servitude, after a previoai
conviction for felony. Mr. Edlin sentenced tho prisoner te
seven years’ penal servitude. James Clifton, who described
himself as a “ traveller,” but who is known to 1 h>
an expert and incorrigible pickpocket, with no fewer
than thirty convictions against his name, was charged
with stealing a purse on the Metropolitan Railway. A verdict
of “Not guilty ” haring been returned, Mr. Montagu Williams
advised the prosecution to prefer an indictment before the
grand jury for an attempt to pick pockets ; and, after some
curious legal difficulties, a conviction was obtained against the

A man named Colcombe has had to pay £2 53. and costs fo.*
indulging in wanton mischief while a crowd was waiting to lee
the Emperor of Russia last week. Being employed in the
upper part of premises in Fleet-street, Colcombe amused him¬

obtained redress.

William Thorn, a Yeovil butcher, convicted at Guildhall of

but adjudged to be less in degree, was fined £5, with £2 costs.

The charge against a writer in the FUjaro of haring libelled

day, when the summons was dismissed.

A milkman named Fountain was fined at Westminster, on
Wednesday, 30s., with 12s. 6 d. costs, for selling adulterated
milk. His defence was that the best mffk was not asked for,
and that certain of his customers wonld rather pay a low prices
for watered milk than buy the genuine article at Id. a pkt
more and water it themselves.

For mischievously disfiguring the Thames Embankment, by
breaking a part of the iron rails, one Job Rogers, of Church-
street, Lambeth, was convicted in the full penalty, by

Ellison, the Lambeth police magistrate.- Another nus*

HOLIDAY AT RICHMOND.

The Los don world has a few places of repose
and recreation within an hour’s railway ride
cf its dusty, noisy streets and w earisome bustle
of social vanity or commercial greed. One of
the fairest and pleasantest scenes of ii3 holi¬
day resort is ibe little town on the Surrey bank
of the Thames which was named by Iving
Henry VII. after his own earldom, the name of
which had sorely frightened his wicked pre¬
decessor, as Shakspeare represents, on the fatal
eve of Bosworth. This town was before known
as West Sheen ; and the Royal Palace here, a
favourite seat of the Plantagenets, where Ed¬
ward III. died, was called Sheen Chase. A
ruined gateway of Henry Tudor’s palace may
still be found ; but how many of a hundred
thousand visitors to Richmond care for its
antiquarian relics ? It is the river, the Park,
the Terrace, the Star and Garter, and the gay
company on Sundays and holidays in summer,
that offer the strongest attractions. These
features of a famous metropolitan paradise, such
as it is, are shown in our page* of small en¬
gravings, which every reader will at once
understand, and recognise their particular sub¬
jects. Literary associations, just as little as
the historical, are apt to engage the mind of the
holiday Londoner in a place like this ; or he
might hear something quoted from Thomson
and Collins, from Wordsworth and Walter
Scott, in praise of the lovely landscape. It
would be a great bore, which we gladly spare
him, and leave him to amuse himself iu his
own way. Fine weather out of door3, upon
ti c grass or upon the water; and a glass of
wholesome beverage, no matter if chainpague
or if rale ale, when he sits to feast with his
friends in the cheerful tavern—that is enough
to make him happy for a few hours. That ia
-v hat v c have heartily wished for our holiday
citizens to enjoy this Whitsuntide.

work with its roots. In photograph No. 4 we
see the river looking up stream. The building
nearest the eye, in the centre of the view, is
the remains of a saw-mill and lumber-yard
destroyed by the Hood. Just beyond this
building a deep gully, dry at low water, opens
into the river from the left hand. Front-street
may again be traced in this view. Com¬
mencing with the planks partly immersed, in
the foreground, it passes between the saw-mill
and the little building in the left foreground,
which is the business oifice of the saw-mill. It
ia thence continued by a wooden bridge over
the gully above mentioned, now entirely sub¬
merged and probably destroyed. The house
on Sic extreme left of the view is the point
from which the view of the bridge (No. 1) is
taken ; all the others are taken from the bridge
itself. The thin line of trees crossing the water
marks the bank of the river, which hero take3
an abrupt turn to the right. The water beyond
the trees is a lake, covering several hundred
acres, formed by the overflow.”

GREAT FLOODS IN TENNESSEE.

The recent disastrous outburst of waters from
ihe Lower Mississippi, around New Orleans,
was preceded by floods along the banks of the
other large rivers that How into the Mississippi,
and of their tributaries. The Ohio, which joins
the Mississippi at Cairo, receives from the
State of Tennessee, on its left or southern
bank, the Tennessee river and the Cumberland
river. It may he remembered that here, on
the Cumberland river, took place some of the
most important military events iu the Civil
War, in the Western campaign of 1862. The
swelling and overflow of this river, a month
ago, presented an extraordinary speobade. At
Clarkesville, near the northern boundary of
Tennessee, the border of Kentucky, the appear¬
ance of the Cumberland was most remarkable.
We are indebted to Dr. D. F. Wright, of that
town, and to liis neighbour, Mr. M‘Cormac,
qhe skilful photographer, for the four views
fhov n in our Engravings. The following notes,
dated April 29, are from Dr. Wright, to explain
these Illustrations:—

“Readers can form no conception of the
cnoiincus excess in the bulk of water now’
hurried from this point to augmentthe already
overloaded Mississippi They must study
attentively the views we give them, and imagine
the immense difference between these and the
aspect of the same parts when viewed at low
water. For this purpose turn to our Illustra¬
tion No. 1, representing the bridge of the Louis¬
ville, Clark esville, and Memphis railroad from
above. A structure of wood and iron is here
seen rising from ^foundation of stone piers just
visible above the water. Seen at low water,
this bridge is perched on stone piers SO ft.
high, around whose base brawls the Cumber¬
land, an unnavigable stream, perhaps sixty
yards wide. The difference of level as marked
on this bridge between the present stage of
water and the low stage of last August is 63 ft.
Now look at No. 2, representing Front-street,
Cl ark esville — or, rather, the place where
Front-street ought to be. This row of build¬
ings, forlorn and shabby as it looks, consists
of the warehouses through which the largest
tobacco trade in the Western States is traus-
acted. There is no tobacco, however, in then
now. It has all been removed to more recently
built warehouses, in the upper part of the
town, for fear of the flood. At low water these
u arc-houses stand on a broad quay, from which
a broader slope, forty or fifty yards iu width,
reaches down to the river, with which the
■warehouses communicate by drays. Photo¬
graph No. 3 represents the waste of waters
as viewed from the railway bridge, looking
obliquely across and down the river. The row
of fence-rails, piled in clumps, marks the line
of what are called the * river banks/ being
placed some ten or twelvo yards inland from
them. But these ‘banks,’ at low water, are
not bonks at all, but the brink of tho ravine at
the bottom of which runs the river. The photo¬
grapher has, in this picture, managed to repre¬
sent the turbid, rushing surface of the stream ;
but its impetuosity is shown by the eddy
formed around the pier on the right of tho
picture. The tree on the left centre is exactly
on tie edge of tic banks, and i3 expected tr
.succumb to the torrent which ia makiug wild

THE ROYAL ACADEMY
BUILDING.

Five years have passed since the Royal
Academy Exliibition of each returning May
was removed from Trafalgar-square to the new
palace of art and science on the sits of Bur¬
lington House, Piccadilly. The stately saloons—
finely proportioned, handsomely decorated,
and for the most part, where the pictures are
shown, perfectly lighted—are now familiar to
everybody, since everybody in the world,
within the last live years, has sometimes besu
in London; and this is the time to come, and
this is ono of the sights to see. It is now a
! twelvemonth since the facade of the new Royal
Academy Building, as designed by Mr. Sidney
Srairke, the architect, was revealed to view
by opening the quadrangle in front of it, which
is surrounded on three sides by the buildings
for several learned societies. A view of the
splendid Piccadilly front was given in our
Journal last year, with a description of these
buildings, designod by Messrs. Banks and
Barry, and a brief historical notice of Bur¬
lington House. That elegant mansion, con¬
structed about the end of the seventeenth
century by Richard Boyle, second Earl of Bur¬
lington, has not been so much demolished as
transformed; an upper story has been added,
to contain the library of the Royal Academy,
its diploma pictures and statues, and the
Gibson collection of sculpture; the arcade and
porch, too, are new external features. It is still
Burlington House, though deprived of its
double curving colonnade, a graceful Romm
invention, which wo regret to miss. The grand
front pile in Piccadilly, however, with its
noble archway beneath the central tower,
massive and superbly ornate, is a sufficient
compensation.

The Hou. < *. W. St. Clair, Master of
Sinclair, Sir John Marjoribanks, Bart., and
Richard Trotter, Esq., have been gazetted
as Deputy-Lieutenants for tho county of
Berwick.

Yesterday week the Worcestershire Regi¬
ment of Militia was inspected by Colonel
White, who expressed his satisfaction with the
personal appearance of the men and their con¬
duct throughout the inspection.

The Incorporated Society of Attorneys and
Solicitors of Ireland passed a resolution at
their meeting in Dublin, on Saturday, ex¬
pressing their opinion that, while the final
court of appeal for Ireland, England, and
Scotland should be the same, that court ought
still to be the House of Lords.

Tho Edinburgh correspondent of the Pall
Mall Gazelle telegraphed on Thursday as fol¬
lows :—“ Dr. Rainy has been elected successor
to the late Dr. Caudlish in the oiiice of Prin¬
cipal of New College, Edinburgh. He has
been Professor of Theology in the college since
1802. In the Free Assembly a bequest of
£16,540 by the late John White, of London,
was announced. The money is to be divided
between the Free Church and the Edinburgh
Infirmary.”

The annual meeting of the Yorkshire Union
of Mechanics’ Institutes was held at Ripon on
Wednesday’, under the auspices of tho Hip on
Mechanics* Institute, of which the Marquis of
Ripon is President. About 250 delegates were
received in the Townhall by the Mayor and
Corporation. and a meeting was afterwards
held at the Public Rooms. Another was held
in the evening, at which the Marquis of Ripon
presided. He spoke of the good which had
been done by mechanics’ institutes during the
last few years towards the spread of education.
He recommended good lectures and good
teachers, as usefulness deponded upon tho
amount of efficiency in which a thing was
done, and not upon the amount of things
attempted. He did not believe a little know¬
ledge was a dangerous thing, unless it was
taken by tho owner to be a great deal. He
believed that the work of these institutes
was becoming more aud more earnest. Lord
Lytton hoped that mechanics’ institutes would
not lose amlit of the danger of supplying the
luxury of knowledge where more elementary
instruction was required. 8ir Samuel Baker
stated that education might bo carried even in
this country too far—that was, if they taught
Greek and Latin, and not the arts and sciences
requisite for the use of their country. He had
seen a good deal of other nations, but had met
with no men equal to English mechanics. Eirl
De Grey*, M L*., then briefly addressed the
meeting.

Works are at Waltham, Massachusetts, U.S. A., now manufac¬
ture over Hue hundred thousand Watches annually, and all of
moat excellent quality. This Company has f*«en in operation
about two lily year*, and tu that time lui* nuulo nud Bold about
eight hundred thousand Watches. In America Walthnui
Watches are regarded as standard tlme-kospera, mid are uni¬
versally used on oil th* numerous railway line* throughout the
country. The American Watch Company wn* tUeilist to apply
maubluery to all the detail* of watch*making, and h.-u
broufcht tills system to great perfection. Probably no finer
mcchanitxn exist j than that in the iiuicldnoa u»ed at WalUuim,
and every port of the watch is produced with systematic exact.
Be?s. As a result, every movement of the «uud grade is pre¬
cisely alike, and all the part* «e Interchangeable. Waltham
Watches, a* they sro impuh.rly known In America, aro nest in
npp«irancc, •ulwhuitlai lu construction, correct In perform¬
ance, and not Ualdo to get out of order ; they ore mode hath
askey-wlndcr* and atom-winders, of six dirferent-nlxea anil of
\ sirious grades. A very Interesting pamphlet, illustrated with
lino engravings, describing the manufacture of watches at
Waltham, will be rout free by post to all who write for it.

T HE ALEXANDRE NEW SEVEN-

GUINEA ORGAN HARMONIUM 8 nlld Oak Case. Fire
Octaves, and Two Footboards

The evrr-inoreaalng musical culture in all classes of society has
created a demand for free reed instruments of a superior quality
to those hitherto manufactured.

The instruments uow offered to the public will he found divested
of all that has hitherto been considered objectionable as regards
tone. This end haa been obtained by u»lng a larger and thicker
tongue, and a new system of voicing, which render the quality
rich and organ-like

Another advantage in the new avstem Is the increased strength
ef the reeds, and diminished liability to go out of tune by forcing
the bellow*.

The new system la applied to all the large instruments with still
greater effect, and without extra coat.

STATE BALL AT BUCKINGHAM PALACE IN HONOUR OF THE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA.

SETTLEMENT TO THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS. MAY 30. 1874.

518

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS

MAY 30, 1874

THE CZAR’S VISIT TO ENGLAND.

The seven days’ stay in England of his Majesty Alexander II.,
Emperor of Russia, ended with his departure, on Thursday
week, from Gravesend for Antwerp and Brussels. Its succes¬
sive incidents were related in our last with some minuteness,
except the proceedings which are made the subjects of several
Illustrations in the present Number. These are the Review of
Guards and other troops at Aldershott, on the Tuesday ; the
great Artillery Review on Woolwich-common, with the visit
to Woolwich Arsenal, on the Wednesday ; the Royal State Ball
at Buckingham Palace, on the Tuesday night; the Concert at
the Royal Albert Hall; and some features of his Majesty’s
Reception in the City of London.

PRESENTATION OF CITY ADDRESS.

The presentation at Guildhall, on the Monday, of the com¬
plimentary address of welcome to the Emperor from the City
Corporation was a scene likely to be regarded hereafter as one
of historic importance. It is therefore represented on our
front page. The manner of performing this ceremonial has
been described. The Town Clerk first read the resolution of
the Court of Common Council. The City Recorder read the
address. Lord Mayor Lusk delivered the written copy of it
to the Emperor, who accepted it, and handed it for safe keeping
to one of the Russian Court officials. The Emperor then read,
in English, with a slight foreign accent, his brief and suitable
reply. The Ixird Mayor introduced to his Majesty two
members of the Corporation, Alderman Besley and Mr.
Deputy Hart, who had been engaged in preparing this muni¬
cipal act of courtesy. The Emperor and all the Princes and
Princesses were then invited to the luncheon in the Council
Chamber. We have reported these proceedings. The address will
be kept in a gold casket, now being manufactured by Mr. J. W.
Benson, the design of which was shown to the Emperor. This
work of art is of an elaborate character. It is of the Cinque -
ceuto style, of an oblong shape, and supported at each end by
the Russian Imperial eagles, resting on balls of malachite. On
the obverse side in the centre panel will be displayed in coloured
enamel, on gold, the ceremony of presentation, the figures
portrayed being actual likenesses of nis Imperial Majesty and
the Royal party, as well as those of the Lord Mayor and other
officers of the Corporation. The smaller panels at each end
will be filled in with scrolls in enamel of the Royal arms of

Valter Wilson, who was one of the most successful pupils of
the School of Art at South Kensington.

Having dined, after his return from Guildhall, with the
Duke of Cambridge and the Princes at Gloucester House, Park-
lane, the Emperor went that evening to the Royal Albert Hall.
His Majesty arrived at ten o’clock, after the first part of the
concert. He sat in the Royal box, with the Duchess of
Edinburgh, the Prince of Wales, and the Duke of Edinburgh
upon his left hand; the Princess of Wales, the Grand Duke
Alexis, and Prince Christian upon his right. The performance
included a selection of Russian sacred music, by the choir
without accompaniment, under the direction of Mr. Arthur
Sullivan. The “Hallelujah Chorus” of Handel and Mr.
Sullivan’s Festival Te Deum were not less effectively rendered.
As the Royal Albert Hall itself is one of the sights of our
metropolis for a visitor among us, we present an interior view
of the building upon a grand occasion.

ALDERSHOTT REVIEW OF TROOPS.

The military spectacle at Aldershott next day was managed
exceedingly well. The number of troops was 14,920, including
2794 cavalry, with forty-eight guns. His Imperial Majesty, with
the Grand Duke Alexis and the Duke and Duchess of Edin¬
burgh, went from the Queen’s private station at Nine Elms, on
the .South-Western line. They were met at this station by the
Prince and Princess of Wales and Prince Christian. Starting
at twenty minutes past ten, they got to Aldershott in about an
hour, several directors of the railway company being in the
train. The Duke of Cambridge, with his staff as Commander-
in-Chief, had gone down an hour earlier.

The troops were drawn up for inspection in the Long Valley,
under the oixlere of Lieutenant-General Sir James Hope Grant,
G.C.B. There were the Cavalry Division, under Major-General
Sir T. Macmahon ; the Artillery, under Colonel Turner, both
Horse and Field Artillery ; the 1st Infantry Division, under
Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar; and the 2nd Infantry Division,
under Sir Alfred Horsford.

The Emperor and the Princes mounted their horses at
Aldershott and rode upon the Common. Hi* Majesty wore his
dark green and gold Russian General’s uniform, with the ribbon
of the Garter, and a casque with white and red plumes ; he sat
on an iron-grey charger. ^ The Grand Duke Alexis wore a similar
uniform. The Prince of Wales had that of the Rifle Brigade, veiy
nearly black, with the light blue ribbon of the Russian Order'of St.
Andrew ; he rode a black horse. The Duke of Edinburgh wore
the light blue uniform of a Russian Jager regiment, of which
the Duchess is honorary Colonel. The Duke of Cambridge, of
course, had the scarlet uniform of Field Marshal, with the
Russian Order. Prince Arthur, in the uniform of a Captain of
the 7th Hussars, acted as his aide-de-camp. Prince Christian
was in scarlet, with the Garter; the Duke of Teck had an
Artillery uniform. The Princess of Wales and the Duchess of
Edinburgh were on the ground in a carriage and four. The first-
named Princess had a dress white and purple; the Duchess
was wrapped in a dust-cloak. They were attended by Lady
Frances Baillie and Mrs. Stonor.

The arrangement for the day was that the troops should be
inspected in the Long Valley, and that the line, when the
Staff had taken up its position, should sweep round on its
right front and march past on the Steeplechase Course, return¬
ing afterwards to the valley for a sham fight. The saluting-
point was marked by a small staff flying a Union Jack. At each
corner-of the Staff inclosure a tall pole was planted, our Royal
standard being hoisted on one, and the Russian Imperial
standard, a black eagle on a yellow ground, on the other.
There were inclosures roped off for carriages and spectators.

The Emperor and Princes first rode along the lines, which
began, on the right front, with Horse Artillery. Next these
were the Household Cavalry, then dragoons and hussars, then
came a corps of Engineers, then the Brigade of Guards, then
Fusilier and Highland Brigades, then two more Brigades
of Line battalions, then a sombre Brigade of Rifles, after
which the line ended, near the flagstaff on Burn’s-hill,
w ith a contingent of Army Service men and their waggons. A
field battery was posted a little further on, in readiness to fire
the Royal aalute ; and the rest of the Field Artillery and the
Engineer train were drawn up in rear of the line of troops. The
bands were in the rear of their regiments.

The march past was done to perfection. The Cavalry bands,
having been massed opposite the saluting-point, began their
music as the Horse Artillery came up at a walk. But first
came the Head-Quarter Staff. Prince Arthur passed in the line
of aides-de-camp ; and then the Duke of Cambridge, taking his
place at the Emperor’s side. General Sir Hope Grant, Colonel
Sir Archibald Alison, Colonel Crealock, and the other members
of the Aldershott staff rode up to the right of the bands. Then
came Sir Thomas M ‘Mahon, at the head of his Cavalry Division.
There were tw T o batteries of Horse Artillery, under Colonel
Tuppcr; the 1st Life Guards, under Colonel Bateson ; the
Queen's Bays, under Colonel Steward; and the Scots Greys,
led by Colonel Nugent. The Light Brigade of Cavalry was
commanded by Colonel Jenkins, and numbered three regi¬
ments—the Carabiniere, Lieutenant-Colonel Napier ; the 19th
and 20th Hussars, under Lieutenant-Colonels Craigie and
Cotton. The Artillery of the First Division numbered eighteen
guns, under Lieutenant-Colonel Curtis, and were followed by
a detachment of Engineers. These were succeeded by the
second battalions Grenadier and Coldstream Guards and the
first and second of the Scots Fusiliers. The Brigade of Guards
was under Colonel Bruce. The Guards went by very well
indeed, and the Czar watched them intently. Next came
the Fusilier Brigade, commanded by Major-General Herbert,
and including the second battalion of the 21st, the two bat¬
talions of the 23rd, and the 104th. The Highland Brigade,
under General Parke, consisted of the 42nd, 78th, 79th, and
93rd, marching to the sound of unnumbered pipes. The first
real cheer was given to the favourite 42nd. The Infantry
marched in columns of double companies, and it was a very
happy idea to brigade together four regiments each of Fusiliers,
Highlanders, and Rifles. The Second Division was commanded
by Sir Alfred Horsford, who went by at the head of it with his
staff. The leading Brigade was Major-General Erskine’s, the
first battalions of the 1st, 4th, and 19th Regiments, and the
second battalion of the 24th. General Smith’s brigade of the
second battalions of the 14th and 16th and the 38th and 77th
Regiments was followed by the Brigade of Rifles, under Lord
Alexander Russell. After the first battalion of the 00th came
the first, second, and third battalions of the Rifle Brigade, the
Prince of Wales having placed himself at their head. The de¬
tachment of Army Service men and waggons which followed
looked neat and smart, and the Russians seemod to take great
interest in them. The march past over, the Infantry were again
brought up, and went by in brigades, an imposing formation,
but one which soon used up the twenty-four battalions. The
Cavalry and Artillery then trotted past, and the parade was
ended.

The sham fight was rather spoiled by the dust. The troops
formed for attack at the north end of the valley, flanked by artillery
and cavalry, and facing south from the line of the canal up the
Long Valley on Burns’s Hill and Plain. The heavy cavalry
brigade having charged up the Long Valley, the light cavalry
crossed Long Hill into the same ground and also made a charge.
The First Division of Infantry attacked up the Long Valley,
the Fusilier brigade leading in attack formation, the Guards
and Highlanders following. The Second Division detached the
Rifle Brigade to cover the right flank of the First Division;
the Rifles moved through the woods, and aided the advance of
the First Division by a flank attack. The fifth brigade of the
same division was also detached to cover the left flank of the
First Division ; the fourth brigade covering the Guards and
Highlanders as a reserve. The fire of the artillery covered all
these movements. When the Fusilier brigade had been
brought to a standstill the Guards and Highlanders advanced
and charged, and then retired by battalions. At the conclusion
of the sham fight the Royal party left the ground, and returned
to London by special train at half-past four o’clock.

BALL AT THE PALACE.

The state ball given at Buckingham Palace, on the Tuesday
evening, by command of the Queen, was a brilliant assembly.
The Emperor of Russia and the Grand Duke Alexis were
attended by all the officers of her Majesty’s household. The
Prince and Princess of Wales, the Duke and Duchess
of Edinburgh, the Prince and Priucess Christian of
Schleswig-Holstein, Princess Louise (Marchioness of Lome)
and the Marquis of Lome, Prince Arthur, the Duke
of Cambridge, the Duke of Teck, and Prince Louis of
Battenberg were present at the ball. The Yeomen of the
Guard wore on duty in the Palace, and a guard of honour of
the first battalion Grenadier Guards was in attendance. The
Prince and Princess of Wales, accompanied by the Imperial
visitors and the members of the Royal family, conducted by the
Lord Chamberlain and attended by the ladies and gentlemen in
waiting, entered the saloon at a quarter before eleven o’clock,
when dancing commenced. Coote and Tinney’s band was in
attendance, conducted by Mr. Coote. The Queen’s piper, Mr.
Ross, played the music for the Scotch reel, which was danced
before the Emperor of Russia. The flowers and plants used in
the decoration of the saloons of Buckingham Palace were of a
very choice description. They comprised some of the finest
pelargoniums ever produced, principally dark varieties, and
yellow flowers intermixed with lilies of the valley, black and
vellow being the Imperial colours. They were supplied by Mr .
J. Wills, of the Royal Exotic Nursery at South Kensington.

WOOLWICH ARSENAL.

On Wednesday, between ten and eleven, the Emperor and
the Princes went to Woolwich by the South-Eastern Railway.
The Emperor was accompanied by the Grand Duke Alexis, and
was attended by Count Schouvaloff, Admiral Popoff, Prince
Dolgorouky, and other Russians, with Lord Torrington, Lord
Charles Fitzroy, and others deputed by the Queen. The Prince
of Wales wore, out of compliment to Woolwich, the dark blue
and silver uniform of the Norfolk Artillery Militia, and the
Duke of Cambridge appeared as Colonel of the Royal Regiment
of Artillery. The Duke of Edinburgh w T ore again the uniform
of the Russian Jager Regiment, on the rolls of which his Royal
Highness 8 name was inscribed a few days before his marriage.
Prince Christian and Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar went
down by the special train. At Plumstead the t rain was backed
on to the Government Arsenal Railway, and drew up at a plat¬
form built for the occasion opposite the Gun Factory. Here
the Emperor and the Princes were received by Sir David Wood
Commandant at Woolwich, and Sir John Adye, Director-
General of Artillery, Colonels Campbell, Mil ward, and Field
superintendents respectively of the gun factory, laboratory’
and carnage departments. Colonel Goodenough, Sir David’s
Assistant Adjutant-General, Major Hall, Assistant Quarter-
master-General, and many more officers, were present, and
followedhu, Majesty *nd AePnnces through the workshops.

• • T Ji. A M C "n conducted the Imperial and Royal party
joined by Mr. Gathorne Hardy and Lord Eustace Cecil, acro£
to the codmg mills. The chief of each department a^ted 2
guide m his own factory. In one of the rooms were several
hrnshed-guns and specimens of ammunition; in another toe
Emperor was shown how the huge nieeps ,

in the rough, were converted ^to smootuT^rJ“w ned
shell. The coiling of a wroughMron bar fo^^^ l 8h l or
of the breech coil for a 38-ton gun was shown. The Pattern?

Room is stored with exact duplicates of most of the guns in the
British service, from the little mountain piece, throwing a
seven-pounder shot, to the 9-inch gun, that weighs 12£ tons.
The Emperor’s attention was called by the Duke of Cambridge
to the sectional models of the Woolwich Infant and the
monster of 80 tons that is to be made.

The party made their longest halt in the factory where the
Nasmyth hammer, the largest in the world—fitted with top
steam—is worked. Adding to the 40 tons dead falling weight
of the hammer the 51 tons added by a full pressure of steam
above, a blow equivalent to a weight of 91 tons can be given
by it with as much control as a child may exercise over a toy-
mallet. The Imperial party occupied a specially erected plat¬
form to witness the welding of the trunnion coil of a 38-ton
gun. The Czarewitch last year witnessed a similar process
with the trunnion coil of a 35-ton gun. The massive door of
the furnace was raised, and in a fire terrible from the fierceness
rf its glow* stood the white-hot coil—a cylinder weighing
23£ tons. This trunnion coil consisted of two thicknesses of bar-
iron, coiled one upon the other. The work of the steam-
hammer was to weld them into a homogeneous cylindrical
mass. The powerful crane was set in motion, and the smiths
sprang to the beautifully adjusted machinery. The fiery mass
was seized by giant tongs, Bwung glowing and hissing out of
the fire, and placed under the hammer. Blasts of hot air
rushed across towards the spectators, but the size of the build-
ing rendered eye protectors unnecessary. The coil was welded
effectually—the very floor, though its foundations are on a
rock, vibrating with the tremendou* blows. The force wielded
by a dozen men at the lever of the crane was astounding; yet
the hammer was subject to a steam power even more formid*
able. The visitors passed hurriedly through the heavy turnery
and sighting room, where they might see thick slabs of metal
peeled off the partly built guns, as by a knife. Without bestow¬
ing more than a passing glance at the great guns on the lathes
they went into the yard outside to witness the shrinking on of
the breech coil of a 35-ton gun. This was conducted in the open
air. Near the spot a number of heavy guns had been collected.
These monsters were littered all about on the ground •, they were
of eighteen, twenty-five, and thirty-five tons. One huge
fellow' weighed thirty-eight tons. In the harness store* the
visitors threaded their way through immense quantities of
saddlery and other equipments. They passed on to the
manufactory of Pa llieer shot, and thence to the carriage
department. Here the parts of a wheel were fitted together in
a minute in a hydraulic press. Many other operations were
shown, but they are such as every visitor to the Arsenal
familiar with. The attention with which the Emperor listened
to the explanations of the superintendents of the different
departments was noticed.

WOOLWICH ARTILLERY REVIEW.

Leaving the Arsenal in carriages, his Majesty and the
Princes arrived at the Artillery Barracks shortly before one
o’clock. The cadets of the Academy were drawn up in a
neat and smart-looking double rank on the gravel space in
front of the mess-room. The Prince Imperial was there,
carrying a carbine, and both the Emperor, who inspected
the cadet company, and the Grand Duke Alexis, shook
hands with him as they passed along the line. He afterwards
joined the Emperor’s party. There was some waiting before
lunch, for the Princess of Wales had not yet arrived from
town. But after a quarter of an hour the scarlet jackets of the
outriders were seen among the trees beyond the Repository;
two carriages and four came and drew up before the mess-room.
In the first carriage were the Princess oi W ales, the Duchess
of Edinburgh, and Princess Christian. The other carriage
brought the Duke and Duchess of Teck. The Emperor,
Princes, Princesses, and invited guests, to the number of
about eighty in all, went to lunch in the Artillery mess-room.
The Duke of Cambridge, as host, sat at the head of the table.
Mr. Smyth’s band played before the windows during lunch,
which lasted an hour and a half.

By three o’clock all was ready for the afternoon review.
The Common had been cleared, and a large force of troops kept
back the crowds which pressed everywhere. The batterica
were drawn up in a long line facing the Academy, six of florae
and ten of Field Artillery, ninety-four guns in all. The first
line was composed of six batteries of Royal Horse Artillery—
namely, the A, B, D, and G batteries of the B brigade, under
the command of Colonel the Hon. E. T. Gage, C.B,; and the
A and B of the ddpOt brigade, commanded by Lieutenant-
Colonel S. H. Denne. Behind these stretched the second line,
made up of nine batteries of field artillery—the A, B, and E of
the fourth brigade, commanded by Colonel Radcliffe; the H,
I, and K of the fourteenth brigade, commanded by Colonel
Hawkins, C.B. ; and the A, B, and C of the ddpto brigade,
commanded by Colonel Ritters. At the extreme left of this
second line was posted a singlo battery (four guns) of
40-pounders, under the command of Major Carey. To each oi
these largest guns twelve horses were attached ; all the other
guns were drawn by six horses. The guns of the Royal Horse
Artillery were, as usual, 9-poundera, and most of those in the
field batteries were 16-pounders; but part of the fourteenth
brigade were furnished with 9-pounders. It is in contem¬
plation for the future to supply the batteries in the field
brigades with 9-pounder and 16-pounder guns alternately.

His Majesty and the Princes mounted their horses and rode
upon the review-ground. The four Princesses were in a car¬
riage, followed by their ladies in two other carriages. Tb*
Imperial party proceeded along the line of Royal Horse Artillery
from right to left, then, turning, went back along the front o,
the Royal Artillery, and galloped across to the saluting-pomi.
Quick as were their movements, they were scarcely in p»*w
before the Royal Horse Artillery were in position to complex
the march-past. This was admirably precise and regular. The
sixteen batteries, having first walked past the saluting-pou^
were afterwards brought on (with the exception of the
40-pounders) by divisions of two batteries at a trot; afkr
which the six light batteries galloped past in fine sty}*-
Meantime the Field Batteries had formed line a quarter of a mu*
off, ready to advance and come into action as soon as the bor f?
artillery had passed. The bugle sounded and on they came*
sixty pieces in a row, stretching all across the Common*
Another bugle-call, and in an instant they halted and ud-
limbered, the guns were wheeled round, the horses
and limbers retired to the rear, and the guns opened
fire in a minute. The long line flashed and anioke<*
and thundered ; then the horses were trotted quickq
forward, and front was changed to the left by divisions of
batteries, the guns of the left division opening fire. Tb d
batteries now retired, and the Horse Artillery advanoed in njj*
at a gallop, bearing straight down on the Staff and the cro*
of spectators. “Action front ” was the word, and .

was most startling. The Horae Artillery having executed ao
further manoeuvres, all the batteries formed line, and c
forward at a trot. The Emperor, the Princes, and the 8
advanced, the halt was called, swords drawn, and the 1 .
salute given, the bands playing the Russian Hymn and
save the Queen.” The Emperor rode forward

him, saying it was “ splendid and magnificent. ” The illustrious
party then returned to London. .

The dinner given by the Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs that evening to the Emperor, and the subsequent
reception held by Lady Derby, was a brilliant close to the
round of entertainments in honour of the Imperial guest.

DEPARTURE FROM GRAVESEND.

The Emperor’8 departure, on Thursday week, was an occa¬
sion for the manifestation of sincere public feeling. His last act,
before leaving London, was to attend Divine worship, with his
son and daughter, at the Russian Chapel in Welbeck-street.
Immediately after his Majesty’s return to Buckingham Palace,
at noon, he and his son drove to the railway at Charing-cross,
w ith the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Duke and Duchess
of Edinburgh, Prince Christian, the Duke of Cambridge, and
Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar, who accompanied our Imperial
guests to their embarkation at Gravesend. The Emperor wore
the uniform of a Russian Admiral; the Grand Duke Alexis and
the Duke of Edinburgh were also in the Russian naval uniform;
the Prince of Wales wore the Trinity House uniform, and the
other Princes that of an English General. The Princess of
Wales was in a black dress relieved by maize yellow ; the
Duchess of Edinburgh wore a magenta-coloured dress, over
which was a brown shawl.

At the Gravesend station -was drawn up a guard of honour
from the 82nd Regiment; and here, too, were in waiting the
Mayor of Gravesend (Mr. W. Lake) and the Town Clerk. .No
time was w'asted. Escorted by a troop of the 7th Hussars,
under Captain Prince Arthur, and preceded by the Mayor in
his private carriage, the Royal carriages, eight in number,
passed quickly along the streets through hearty greetings from
pavement, house-top, and window, down to the pier. Here,
again, w*ere soldiers—a guard from the 10th Regiment; and
here, of course, the crowd was thickest and the greeting
warmest.

His Majesty had just received a telegram from the Empress
of Russia, Which the Mayor handed to him. Having read and
handed the message first to his daughter, and then to his son,
his Majesty, addressing the Mayor, said in excellent English,
“ I am glad to see you, Mr. Mayor, and also to see Gravesend
lookingso beautifuL” His Worship bowed his acknowledgment
of the gracious salutation; and then, after a brief pause, the
Emperor gave his arm to the Princess of Wales, and walked
down the pier to the landing-stage, followed by the Prince of
Wales, who escorted the Duchess of Edinburgh, and by the
Duke of Edinburgh and the Grand Duke Alexis. The suite
brought up the rear. The pier was decorated with flags, as
when the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh made their entry ;
there were the hanging baskets of flowers, and the pretty
children wearing straw hats trimmed with blue ribbon, and
bearing the name “Marie.” A large number of ladies had
gathered on the pier. These respectfully saluted the Royal
party as they passed along the carpeted way. The landiDg-
stage was prettily draped with Russian and English flags.

The Imperial yachts Derjava and Livadia and the Russian
corvette Vitiaz lay in the middle of the Thames. The river
was crowded with yachts, schooners, steamers, and boats,
amongst which w’as the ironclad Triumph. One of the boats
of the Vitiaz was in waiting at the foot of the landing-stage,
and into this descended the Emperor, the Duke and Duchess
of Edinburgh, the Prince and Princess of Wales, and Prince
Arthur. The Russian oarsmen rowed with such vigour that in
about five minutes the Emperor and those accompanying him
were on board the corvette, astern of which w'as the Livadia,
the Derjava just behind her. The scene on the river was ex¬
tremely tine. The sun shone, the east wind rippled the water,
so that its little waves glistened like silver. The seamen of the
Vitiaz and her Majesty's ship Triumph manned their yards ;
the Russian and English flags were flying on all sides. The
music of the Russian National Anthem, played by the
Marines’ band on board the Triumph, could be just
heard by those ashore. The guns of the ships thun¬
dered a salute as the Emperor crossed over to the Vitiaz.
Here his Imperial Majesty stayed some time before going
aboard the Livadia, and subsequently the Derjava. The English
Princes, the Princess of Wales, and the Duchess of Edinburgh
returned to shore at ten minutes past three, the Russian yachts
and the English man-of-w'ar saluting, the Marines’ band on board
the Triumph playing “God Bless the Prince of Wales,” and
the seamen and spectators cheering meanwhile. The Emperor
was then rowed aboard the Derjava, w hose golden double eagle,
placed as figure-head, shone in the May sunshine. Steam was
quickly got up, and at half-past three the Derjava slipped her
moorings and steamed slowly dow T n the river, followed by the
Livadia and the Triumph. His Imperial Majesty stood on the
paddle-box as the yacht moved away. He w’aved his flat cap
repeatedly to the people on shore, who replied by waving
their handkerchiefs and hats, and by cheering lustily. A
short distance below, at Thames Haven, the ironclads
were waiting, with steam up, to escort the Derjava.
It was about a quarter past six in the eveniug when the guns
of the Channel squadron thundered England’s farewell to the
Emperor of Russia The squadron parted with the Royal
yacht about eight miles below the Norc, and came to an anchor
for the night near the lightship. The Emperor and the Grand
Duke, his sou, crossed safely to Flushing that night, landing
at five o’clock next morning. They were received by the King
of the Netherlands and Princes Henry and Alexander. After
a short stay, his Majesty went on to Brussels, wffiere he was
entertained by the King and Queen of the Belgians ; he thence
proceeded to Ems. _

KING CHARLES AT CHELSEA.

The Royal hospital for aged and disabled soldiers at Chelsea,
which w T e have repeatedly described and illustrated, was
founded in 1682, by King Charles II. The merit, indeed, of
this patriotic and Irene volent act belongs to Sir Stephen Fox,
the ancestor of Lord Holland’s family, who was then Paymaster
or Treasurer of the Army. Two other contemporary persons,
of very different characters, John Evelyn and Nell Gwyu,
joined their praiseworthy efforts to procure the establishment
of this great national charity—or, rattier, of this just and due
provision for the country’s worn-out defenders. The ground
at Chelsea was the site of a projected Protestant theological
college in the time of James L, but was not built upon, and
Charles II. first gave it to the Royal Society, which sold it for
£1300 to Sir Stephen Fox, for the soldiers’ hospital. It was on
Feb. 16, 1682, that King Charles laid the first stone of the
present building. The architect was Sir Christopher Wren, and
the cost £150,000. Its extensive front, of red brick and stone, in
blocks of harmonious proportions, the gardens before anil behind,
and the avenues of limes and chestnuts, are familiar objects in
London. So are the old pensioners, lounging about that part of
town, in their long scarlet coats with blue facings, or sometimes
blue overcoats, and three-cornered cocked hats, the uniform of
those who fought under the Duke of Marlborough, a hundred
years before the Duke of Wellington’s battles These pour old
fellows are taught to revere the memory of Nell Gwyn’s Royal
master as the noblest of British monarch* and heroes. See

where his Majesty stands, in the armour of a Roman warrior,
sculptured by Grinling Gibbons, erected in the central quadrangle
which overlooks the Thames ! On the 2flth of May, which is
Oak-apple Day—as it is the birthday of this beloved Prince,
who once escaped the search of Cromwell’s troopers in the leafy
branches of an oak—the military veterans of Chelsea do
homage to their founder’s statue. Its inclosure railing is
adorned with the boughs of Old England’s emblematic tree.
The men are paraded before the Colonel or other commanding
officer. They give three cheers for King Charles ! and there is
no harm in the fond old custom. But we should like to know
if they did so in the time of the Young Pretender ? And, if they
did, was not the loyalty of some men from Highland regiments
likely to be put to a shrewd test by that equivocal name of a
King? _

NEW BOOKS.

The special correspondent of the Standard in the Ashantee
War, Mr. G. A. Henty, publishes a volume hearing the title of
The March to Coomassie (Tinsley Brothers). It is a very fair
account of the proceedings of Sir Garnet Wolseley’s expedition.
Mr. Henty has seen a good deal of war in different parts of the
world. He is more especially conversant with the details of tho
Control, or commissariat and transport services. These ho
rightly considers of the most vital importance to a campaign of
British troops ; while they are confessedly the weaker parts of
our military system. The officers, indeed, of the Control
Department on the Gold Coast performed their work extremely
well. Colonel Colley, whom Sir Garnet Wolseley appointed to
its direction, obtains the highest praise. But the department
was not so strong as it ought to have been, and the transport
had nearly broken down. Mr. Henty, who witnessed tho
Abyssinian campaign, and was actually employed in the com¬
missariat service of our army in the Crimea, is a competent
judge of these matters. He disapproves of the present Civil
Service organisation of the Control Department. In his discreet
and moderate criticism of purely military affairs on the
Gold Coast, this author deserves more consideration than
Mr. H. M. Stanley, whose tone is not so pleasant. Mr. Henty
presents a clear and distinct conception of the plan of Sir
Garnet Wolseley’s strategy from the beginning. The earlier
operations, by which the Ashantee army was compelled to quit
its threatening position near Elmina and Cape Coast Castle,
and to retire beyond the Prah, are clearly placed in view. Of
the defence of Abrakrampa, too, which was not the least inte¬
resting action of this war, a spirited narrative is here supplied.
In that instance alone does it seem that there was something
like tardy slackness of movement on the part of the chief com¬
mand. Certain measures for the relief of the beleaguered garrison
wore not so prompt and alert as they might have been. Sir
Garnet Wolseley, indeed, was taken ill about that time, and
may not have been wholly himself upon the occasion. The
later events of the campaign, the march to the Prah and on¬
ward through Assin, the battlo of Amoaful, and the destruction
of Coomassie, are described in a style that is vigorous and
animated, but quite unaffected. If all the special corre¬
spondents had this merit like Mr. Henty, our daily newspapers
would be more agreeable reading.

A tour in the land of old Nile, the Sphinx, and the
Pyramids is still an occasion for the making of many books,
though we have so often heard of those things before. The
Fayoum, or Artists in Egypt (H. S. King and Co.), is from the
French of M Paul Lenoir, one of a party who visited that once
venerable corner of the Fast, with Sinai and Petra, to procure
subjects for their skill with the pencil. Tho Fayoum is a pro¬
vince of Middle Egypt, to the west of the Nile above Memphis,
where the lake Birkefc Keroum, or Maris, with the canal of
Joseph, and a complicated system of dykes and trenches, have
produced much agricultural wealth. The chief town, Mcdinet-
el-Fayoum, which is now connected by railway with Cairo,
seems to be a lively place. Many of the inhabitants are of the
ancient Christian race, the Copts. But this district, though it
pleased M. Lenoir and lends its name to his book, really
occupies very little space in the small volume. Cairo, with its
picturesque crowd of quaint old buildings and Oriental cos¬
tumes, the stupendous antiquities of Ghizeh, the diverting
experiences of a ride through tho Desert and life in a tent,
are spoken of in a tone of frank enjoyment. After
seeing the pilgrim procession of the Holy Carpet, and
submitting to the laborious but voluptuous ordeal of
Turkish bath, M. Lenoir and his comrades travelled
over the Isthmus of Suez to look at the “ Biblical ” moun¬
tains of Sinai and the rock-hewn city of Petra. We find
this book very agreeable light reading.

The case of Mr. David Ker, special correspondent of the
Daily Telegraph in Central Asia, at the time of the Russian
Expedition to Khiva last year, has perhaps not been forgotten.
It was discovered that one of his letters to that paper con¬
tained a graphic portrait of a Tartar chief, supposed to have
been met by him on the banks of the Volga, and that this de¬
scription was in substance identical with one he had before
written in All the Year Found, with reference there to a
Tartar chief he had met near Sebastopol. The fact was
neither more nor less than that he had made use twice, in his
contributions to different journals, of a typical figure, repre¬
senting the character of an Asiatic race and class, to be found
in many places around the Black Sea and the Caspian. It was
not quite fair to his employers, the editors and proprietors of
those journals, to serve either of them with literary matter,
professing to he original, which had been used elsewhere. But
“the very head and front” of Mr. Ker’s offending had this
extent and no more. Too much was made of the affair, which
ought not to have been supposed to cast doubt upon the reality
of his travels in Western and Central Aria. Mr. Ker did
actually make his way, in the summer months of 1S73, from
Orenburg, on the Ural, to Fort Kazalinsk, on the Syr Daria,
the ancient Jaxartes ; aud thence, aft-r several weeks’ de¬
tention, up the Syr Daria to Turkestau, ami to the large com¬
mercial city of Tushkend, whence he advanced to Samarcand,
near Bokhara. These towns, situated far beyoud Khiva,
are within the present limits of the Russian Empire.
But the Russian military authorities did not allow
Mr. Ker to get to Khiva. He returned in the autumn,
by the tame route that he had travelled in May. Yet,
although he had failed in his undertaking to report the
campaign of General Kaufmann, he had seen much that is of
permanent interest, which he relates in a volume now before
us (published by Messrs H. S. King and Co.). Its title, On the
Roait to Khiva, seems hardly appropriate. But, taken as a
survey of the lately annexed Turkish provinces of the Czar’s
empire, uot including what may have been gained more recently
on the Amou Daria or Oxus, we find Mr. Ker’s book full of
infoimatiou. Its statements may be compared with the views
in Mr. Vambery’s historical and political estays, or with the
Russian treatise on “ Khiva and Central Asia,” translated by
Captain Spabling, which we noticed last week Mr. Ker’s
narrative of his personal adventures and exploits is interesting,
though too egotistical; but his self-esteem has been wounded by
the harsh treatment that his reputation endured last year,

when he was far away from London, and could not defend him¬
self. We hope he wall soon have an opportunity of wiping out
that disagreeable recollection by performing fresh services as a
travelling observer and describer of some remote parts of tho
world.

The only reason for coupling together Master Spirits , by R.
Buchanan (Henry S. King and Co.), and Peeps into the Human
Hive, by Andrew Wvnter, M.D., M.R.C.P. (Chapman and
Hall), is not that similar subjects are handled by both authors,
but that the two works belong to the same category, inasmuch
as each contains—the former in one volume and the latter in
two volumes—a republication of fugitive essays originally con¬
tributed to various periodicals, and now r presented to the jiublic
in a different form and on their own merits, without the assist¬
ance or the hindrance (for periodicals have their determined
foes as well as their stanch friends) of their primary associa¬
tions. Mr. Buchanan is by this time—not without the help of
that anonymous criticism which he considers so objectionable —
securely established in no mean position among our poets ; and
there may be many who, unablo or unwilling to hunt up his
scattered pieces of prose, may be glad to read what he has to
say, in the critical and the philosophical vein, about other more
or less successful competitors, dead and living, in tho arena of
literature. His lofty and lordly tone, w'hen he contemptuously
puffs aside poor Tomkins and other anonymous critics or critic¬
asters, is likely to raise a smile upon the lips of those who seem to
rememl)er that he commenced his career in the preface, if
memory may be trusted, of “Undertones” with something
strongly resembling an appeal ad m isericordiavi. But it w-aa
well said by the Greek tragedian that Koros breoda Hybris.
The question of anonymous criticism is, no doubt, a difficult
one, and not to be discussed in a small space, but just a few
remarks may be made upon it: as we say “ measures not men,”
so w f e would say “criticisms not critics ; ” as there must bo a
beginning of everything, an unknown and, figuratively, name¬
less critic would be, to all intents and purposes, worse tlian an
anonymous, w’ho may be, for all the world know s, “ somebody
in particular,” and, if what he says is sound, cannot be sneered
dowm because he is “somebody nobody knows;” as Mr.
Buchanan himself allows that “ in many cases tho anonymous
is a mere cloak, and everybody knows whom it conceals,” he,
so far as “ many cases ” are concerned, answers his owm objec¬
tions ; lastly, to be anonymous is almost the only way, though
it is not at all a sure one, of escaping the pertinacity of those
unconscionable authors w'ho would fain make criticism a per¬
sonal matter and their rubbish a subject of endless
correspondence. It may be added that few papers have
room enough to admit of a criticism properly w'orked out,
and that the anonymous writer of a mere notice
has no idea of doing more than throwing out a few

hints from which the public may be led to conclude whether it
would or w r ould not be worth while to taste and try for them¬
selves. And, slight as these notices necessarily are, nobody,
perhaps, know’s better than Mr. Buchanan himself how authors
do hunger and thirst after them, and only object to them, for
being anonymous or what not, when they arc not exactly—aud
extremely—laudatory. So much for Mr. Buchanan and the
anonymous. His ow r n criticisms, when he ventures to be the
critic as well as the student of his “master-spirits,” are any¬
thing but anonymous, and, according to hia own theory, have
just so much weight as is attached to his name. An American
senator, when delivering a funeral oration over another senator
whom he had just had the misfortune to kill in a duel arising
from a difference about legislation, is reported to have said,
“He was middlin’on ’osses ; he warn’t no account at legis¬
latin’.” And if it should be held that Mr. Buchanan is
“middlin’ in poetics, and no account at criticisin’” he will, at
any rate, have the satisfaction of feeling that he did his best
by openly subscribing his distinguished name to nrevent so
singular a conclusion. As for Dr. Wynter, who dubs himself
“ a snapper-up of unconsidered trifles,” he is well known to be a
very popular writer of articles relating to matters of popular in¬
terest ; and one w’ould feel quite safe in asserting that his two
volumes do not contain a single essay which will not have some
sort of attraction for one class or another of the community.
One would not, how ever, feel quite so safe in affirming that he
is an infallible authority ; not that he has been caught tripping,
but that his range is so vast and his subjects are so miscel¬
laneous as to render an occasional slip almost inevitable. He
seems to have something to say about everything that goes ou
in this busy world. Nihil non tetujit , one might be inclined to
exclaim ; but there is a sense in which one W'ould not even
mutter to oneself— omne quod tetujit ornavit.

A touch of Darwinism makes two works kin ; and their
titles are, respectively, Man and Apes, by St. George Mivart.
F.R.S., V.P.Z.S. (Robert Hardwicke), and Darwinism and
Design; or, Creation by Evolution , by George St. Clair, F.G.S ,
M.A.I,, &c. (Hodder and Stoughton). The former professes to
be “an exposition of structural resemblances and differences
bearing upon questions of affinity and design,” and is profusely
illustrated ; the latter purposes “to illustrate the wisdom and
beneficence of the Almighty in the evolution of living things,”
and, being of a nature unadapted for illustrations, is unillus-
trated. The former confronts the reader wfith facts and conse¬
quent inferences drawn from the study of physical, chiefly
anatomical, science ; the latter plies him with all sorts of argu¬
ments based both upon fact and upon speculation. Properly to
discuss such works w’ould require a volume of many pages and
a special course of mental discipline ; it must suffice here to
recommend them to the notice of all Avhom they may seem to
concern.

A popular writer becomes the friend of the public ; and
between friends there is always a cordial understanding w hich
invests no matter what WTitteu or spoken communication with
an interest and an importance independent of intrinsic
qualities, so that a large circle of readers may probably
derive a satisfaction heightened by friendly sentiments from
Holiday Letters, by M. Betham-Edwaids (Strahan and Co ).
And the letters, though they contain no information that is
likely to be of service to the world in general, and indeed, are
not remarkable for anything in particular, have certainly the
charm of an easy, a sprightly, an ingenuous, a thoroughly
feminine style. Alexandria, .Smyrna, Athens, Weimar, aud
other places not thoroughly investigated by Mungo Park and
his more recent and adventurous successors, were visited by the
writer of the letters, wfio has recorded such facts as a host of
amiable ladies will consider extremely interesting. Who saA s
Weimar, says Goethe. Goethe, as is well known, wrote a few
poems ; and a mortal writing about Weimar could hardly be
expected to abstain from padding the letter or letters with
quotations from those poems. It is scarcely necessary to say
that the author of “Holiday Letters” is a mortal; but the
padding is that of a very considerate mortaL

MUSIC.

ROYAL ITALIAN Oi'ERA.

“ Der FreischUtz ” was given, for the first time this season,
yesterday (Friday) week, with a cast almost identical with that
of the two performances of last season. Mdlle. D’Angeri as
Agata sang with enhanced success, particularly in the great
scena, knovm in the English version as “ Softly sighs,” and in
the cavatina of the last act. Mdlle. Bianchi as Annetta sang
so well in the duet with Agata, and was so much applauded in
her solo pieces, the polacca aria and the romanza, that she will
probably be much more heard of, this having been only her
second appearance. M. Faure was the Fame picturesque Caspar
as formerly, and his singing in the “revenge ” scena and the
drinking song (the latter encored) was as fine as ever. Signor
Bettini also gained special applause by his very effective de¬
livery of Max's scena in the first act. The small i>art of the
principal bridesmaid was assigned to Mdlle. Cottino, and other
characters were as before—Ottocar, Signor Rossi ; Kuno, Signor
Raguer ; Kiliano, Signor Taglialico ; the Hermit, Signor Cap-
poni. The overture and the “ Huutsmen’s chorus” were
encored. Signor Bevignani conducted, as on Thursday and
Friday—the performances of Monday, Tuesday, and Saturday
having been directed by Signor Vianesi.

On the last-named evening '* Les Diamans dc la Couronne”
was given, for the first time this year, in the Italian version,
as produced here in 1873, and also with Madame Adelina Patti
as the representative of the principal character (Caterina), the
singing of this great artist having again been of superlative
excellence throughout the performance. In the execution of
the aria with variations in the second act Madame Patti’s
brilliancy of voice, refinement of style, and finished mechanism
drew forth enthusiastic applause; a display if almost equal
excellence having been her florid vocalisation in the aria intro¬
duced in the last finale. Madame Sinico was again the Diana,
ami the bolero-duet for her and Caterina was encored, as before.
Other chaiacters were also mostly as formerly — Rebolledo,
Signor Ciampi ; Campo-Mayor, Signor Tagliafico, &c.; the part
of Sebastiano having properly been assigned to a tenor (Signor
Sabater), instead of being transferred to a baritone, as before.

On Monday “ Guglielmo Tell” was repeated, with M.
Faure’s resumption of the title-character—the cast in other
respects having been the same as that recently noticed.

On Tuesday “Ernani” was given, for the first time this
season, with the fine performance of Madame Adelina Patti as
Elvira.

For Thursday “ Lucia di Lammcrmoor” was announced;
for Friday, “ II Barbiere di Siviglia ; ” and for this (Saturday)
evening, “Faust,” with the ddbut of Mdlle. Clemence C&l&sch
as Siebel.

The third Floral llall Concert of the season takes place this
(Saturday) afternoon.

HER MAJESTY S OPERA.

As mentioned last week. Signor Campanini reappeared on
the Thursday of that week, as Gcnnaro in “ Lucrezia Borgia,”
the character in which he made his d4but in this country, in
May, 1872. His reception on his reappearance was of the most
enthusiastic kind, encores having been awarded to his solo in
the first scene, “ Di Pescatore lgnobile,” and in the trio in
the second act “Guai se ti sfugge,” a promineut feature in
which was Signor Campanini’s delivery of the passage be¬
ginning “ Meco benigni,” in which his resonant high chest notes
and good cantabile style were well displayed. The cast of
the opera was in other respects also mostly as before, including
the line performances of Millie. Titiens as Lucrezia and Madame
T re belli- Bettini as Maffio Orsini. Signor Rota was again the
Duke, and other characters were filled as before.

Millie,, Singelli maintains the favourable impression already
produced by her refined and brilliant siuging in the principal
character of Auhcrs “Catarina” (“Les Diamans de la
Couronne ”), the fourth performance of which took place on
Saturday.

On Monday “ Le Nozze di Figaro” was repeated ; and on
Tuesday “Lucrezia Borgia” was given again, with the same
east as on Thursday week.

For last Thursday, “ Marta ” was announced ; and to night
(Satuiday) Madame Christine Nilsson is to make her first
appearance this season as Margherita in “ Faust;” the pro¬
duction of Balfe’s posthumous opera, “ II Talismano,” being
expected next week, with this great singer as the heroine.

The magnificent playing of the Russian pianist, Madame
Easipoff, at the sixth of the New Philharmonic concerts (last
week) elicited the most enthusiastic applause from an audience
that comprised many professors and connoisseurs. Unbounded
executive power, facile command of the greatest mechanical
difficulties, a thorough control over every gradation of toue
from grandeur to delicacy, rhythmical phrasing that demotes
high intellectual perception—such are the merits of this ad¬
mirable artist, as displayed in Rubinstein's fourth concerto and
Liszt's “Hungarian Fantasia.” Two recitals of pianoforte
music have been announced by Madame EssipofT, at the first of
wnicb, on Wednesday afternoon, the programme comprised
Beethoven's “VValdstein” sonata, and miscellaneous pieces by
Bach, Field, Schubert, Mendelssohn, Chopin, Liszt, &c.

That excellent pianist Mdlle. Marie Krebs gave the first of
two recitals of classical ami modern pianoforte music at St.
J umes a Hall, on Thursday afternoon, when her programme
comprised an interesting selection of pieces in various sty les.

The Welsh Choral Union, uudtr the direction of Mr. John
Thomas, commenced its fourth season on Monday evening, at
the Huiiover-square Rooms.

Whit Monday (the bank holiday) was celebrated at the
Royal Albert Hall by a concert of popular songs and ballads,
sung by Madame Lemmena-Sherrington, Miss Anna Williams,
Madame Patey, Miss Antoinette Sterling, Mr. E. Lloyd, and
Mr. May brick. Mr. F. H. Oowen conducted.

Mr. E. H. Thorne, known as a skilful pianist, gave his
pianoforte recital at the Hanover-square Rooni3 on Tuesday.

The annual concert of Mr. F. H. Cowen, who has frequently
distinguished himself as a composer and a pianist, was to take
place at Dudley House yesterday afternoon ; when, also, M.
Alphouse Duveruoy was to give his first pianoforte recital at the
Hanover-square Rooms.

The fifth concert of the Philharmonic Society, on Monday
evening, will bring back the eminent pianist, Herr Alfred Jaell,
who is to play Beethoven's first concerto and the concert-
stUek of Robert Schumann.

Mr. Sims Reeves’s benefit concert, which was announced
for Monday next, is unavoidably postponed.

On Friday evening Miss Philp, well known ns the composer
of lumjy successful songs and ballads, will give her annual con¬
ceit at MJ. James's Hall ; the programme of which includes the
mum s of several eminent jierforniers.

The concert announced by Mr E. Silas for Saturday evening
next, at 6t George s Hall, will include his clever pianoforte-
playing in pieces by himself and others.

This week's Saturday afternoon concert at the Crystal
Palace—the third of the summer series—will be devoted to
a performance of Signor Randegger’s dramatic cantata,
“Fridolin,” which was produced at last year’s Birmingham
Festival.

THEATRES.

A new comedy, by Messrs. Henry and Athol Mayhew, was pro¬
duced at the Hayinarketon Monday, entitled “ MontBlanc.” The
work is of the picturesque order, and not a little ambitious in
its treatment. Part of itB plot is derived from “ Le Voyage de
M. Perrichon.” The scene is on or near Mont Blanc, and the
action that of tourists engaged in its ascent. Among them is
one Mr. Chirpey, a London oil and Italian warehouseman, who
seeks to place a bill of his “persuasive pickles,” with the cor¬
responding engraving, on the summit of the famous mountain.
This character is represented by Mr. Buokstone, who invests it
with all the humour of which it is capable. There is a mul¬
titude of other characters. Young Lord Silverspoon gives
little opportunity to Mr. Buckstone junior. Somewhat better
parts fall to the lot of Mr. Kendal and Mr. Howe, in the
persons of Harold Marjorihauks and the Hon. Percy Centlivre,
two rival lovers, the former of whom is the more honourable,
and consequently successful. Two foreign characters are intro-
duced-—Mr. T. »S. Jerrold, as Le Capitaine Achille Fortinbras,
and Mr. Everill, as Herr Professor Windbeutel; but they
only serve to encumber the action. The ladies perhaps fare
best. Mrs. Chippendale, as Mrs. Chirpey, and Miss Amy
Roselle, as her daughter Florence, made the most of their rdles,
aud were decidedly successfuL The main defect of the play is
the poverty of its dialogue. The new scenes, by Messrs.
0 Connor and Morris, were well painted and set; nevertheless,
the performance failed to excite enthusiasm.

A new burlesque, of decided character, was produced at the
Vaudeville on Saturday, under the title of “Here's Another Guy
Mannering; or, The Original Heir Restorer.” The title indi¬
cates the quality of the piece. The original situations are, of
course, skilfully travestied, and the dialogue is replete with
excruciating puns. There is much of the grotesque in the
make-up of the characters ; Mr. Thomas Thome, as Mr. Henry
Jrving, is a wonderful specimen of the funny and the faithful
in the part of Gilbert Glossin ; scarcely second to which is that
of Dirk Hatterick, by Mr. David James. The combat between
them that subsequently takes place is frightfully exciting.
Miss Kate Bishop personated the wandering heir, Henry
Bertram ; and Miss C Richards the famous Meg Merrilies. At
the conclusion no doubt remained but that a considerable suc¬
cess had been achieved.

There was a great house at the Globe, on Saturday, t°
witness the fiual performance of Mr. J. L. Toole in the new
comedy of “Wig and Gown” and the old farce of “ Ici
On Parle Franyais.” Mr. Toole made on the occasion a
characteristic farewell speech.

Mr. Tom Taylor’s new drama of “Clancarty” was per¬
formed, on Saturday morning, by the Olympic company, at
the Gaiety, and commanded a large audience.

Mr. and M rs. German Reed’s Entertainment has now taken
possession of St. George’s Hall, and finds a sympathising
audience. A new piece has been lately added to their
repertoire. “Charity Begins at Home” now yields to a
pleasing, sketchy affair, called “ He’s Coming; via Slum-
borough, Snoozleton, and Snoreham.” This is also written by
Mr. F. 0. Burnand. The chief scene is the Snoozleton railway
station ; and here all manner of queer things are done, queer
personages introduced, queer songs sung, and queer uses made
of the telegraph. We cannot detail the characteristics of the
thirteen characters that take part in the action, aud which are
excellently impersonated by Mr. and Mrs. Reed, Mr. Coruey
Grain, and Mr. Law. They were all exceedingly comic and
clever, and are well calculated to delight a fashionable
audience.

ROYAL INSTITUTION LECTURES,

SYMMETRY OF CRYSTALS.

Professor Maskelyne, M. A., keeper of the mineral department,
British Museum, began his second lecture, on Thursday week,
by saying that hitherto he had considered a crystal as a group
of forms, but that now it would be considered as an assem¬
blage of zones. He defined a zone on a crystal as a set of faces,
like those of a prism, the edges between "which are parallel to
each other, and so to an imaginary line, drawn through a poiut
taken for the centre of the crystal. This was elucidated by
reference to beautiful models of crystals formed of wires
differently coloured. He then alluded to the word ‘•axis,” as
signifying any particular direction to which qualitative or
quantitative properties may be referred, such as optic, thermic,
or magnetic axes. Crystallographic axes are a sort of ideal
scaffolding built up within the crystal, and fixed in place as
in direction for quantitative comparisons ; and symmetry axes
are those round which the morphological features of the crystal
are repeated at rhythmic intervals. The simplest way of con¬
sidering the symmetry that the faces of a zone or crystal may
present is to conceive the crystal as constructed in equipose ; a
line parallel to the edges formed by the faces of the zone being
supposed to pass though the centre or zone-axis, a plane through
the centre perpendicular to this zone-axis being the zone-plane.
The fundamental law of crystallography was then explained
and illustrated, aud also compared with that lying at the root
of all chemical combinations. The faces forming a zone were
stated to bo obedient to a geometrical law connecting tluir
mutual angular inclinations with their symbols; and the"
line of argument was indicated by which this law can be
shown to impose restrictions on the sorts of symmetry possible
in a crystal zone. Mr. Maskelyne then defined the nature of
the symmetry that may be presented by the distribution of the
faces m a zone, or by the sides of a ciystal face, or by a com¬
plete crystal; and be referred to specimens aud diagrams of the
t^pes of symmetry comprised under the six crystallographic
systems—namely, 1, symmetry to a centre only, the anorthic
system; 2, symmetry to one plane, the oblique system : 3
symmetry to three perpendicular planes, the orthorhombic
system; 4, symmetry to five planes, the tetragonal system •
5, symmetry to seven planes, the hoxagou.l system ; 6, sym¬
metry to nine planes, the cubic or tessoral system. The types
of symmetry poss.ble in a crystal were shown to bo thus
limited, m consequence of planes of sy mmetry iu a crystal as
m a zone, being able to meet each other only at right angh4 or
at angles of 45, Ml. or .ill deg. M r Maskelyne then proceeded

EDUCATION OF THE PEOPLE.

Professor W. Kingdon Clifford began his discourse at tK
evening meeting on Friday, the 22nd inst., by alluding to tL
due exercise of our activities in relation to the duties of ^
preservation, parenthood, citizenship, and the advanceuu ot ij
civilisation; and specified the kind of knowledge to be acquit
by way of preparation, which included physiology, phi ^
biology, and sociology, whereby we are better enabled to guide Lj
actions. Education, he said, is commonly considered to be tL
acquirement of knowledge, but it is really learning to do sr,^
thing. This he illustrated by describing the way we learn to
speak, read, and write our own or a foreign language—a pro^tn
which at first costs us much pains and trouble, but afterwar-lj;
done automatically. Language is a means to enable us to expr t i!
our thoughts, and primary education is therefore mtrtj-
learning to use certain took readily. This was further illJ
trated by referring to the way a child learns to use scissors
a boy to get on a horse : they are both directed by the know,
ledge of facts. Speaking of the highest education- literatus
science, and history—the Professor Baid that cramming
facts is useless, unless these facts can be used freely as tool* o{
thought, without considering whence the knowledge cam*
Proceeding to the subject of his discourse, he said that
tion ought to be the development of the individual and the an
sequent development of the race. In regard to the question
Who are the people? he adverted to the abstracts of the 1J
Census of the population of England and Wales ; and, takic!
142 adult men, classified them into various kinds <5
workers:—On land, 27; on minerals, 22; in constructior
21 ; on materials and dress, 17; general labourers, 10* car',
riers, 10; indefinite, 5; mercantile, 4; servants, 3; grooms,
workers and dealers in food and drinks, 8; general dealer \
soldiers, 2; keepers of lodgings, 2; to which he added ’one
magistrate, clergyman, doctor, lawyer, policeman, teacher
student, and sailor. After commenting on the subdivisions of
these classes, on various circumstances connected with their
occupations, and on the education they require, the Professor
from the class engaged in construction selected, as the best
typical case, the making the hand-railing of a staircase. By
means of specimens and diagrams, he showed that this was a
most difficult thing to do, and involved a profound geometrical
problem, which would baffle many mathematicians, as the rail
includes a double curvature. This problem was solved byPcti-r
Nicholson, a workman, who invented the cylindrical method of
cutting out rails, which had been further improved by mother
workman, John Weston. This indicates the kind of education
needed by the people—that which will conduce to the free and
perfect use of many tools, in opposition to the one-sidedness mj
apt to ensue from the division of labour, resulting from the
increased employment of machinery. Adult workmen should
be taught to use practically scientific ideas. They should be
set thinking; and the first thing is to acquire the machinery of
accurate thought. For this purpose Professor Clifford warmly
advocated the teaching of geometrical and mechanical drawing
as essential to the working classes, being to them fully u
important as reading and writing. George Busk, Esq., F.R.S.,
the treasurer and vice-president, was in the chair.

TUB MOON, MARS, AND THE ASTEROIDS.

Mr. Richard A. Proctor, in his third lecture on the Planetary
System, on Saturday last, resumed the consideration of the
moon, and more particularly discussed the question w hether
she once possessed seas and an atmosphere.. After examining
various theories, including that advanced by Hansen, that per¬
haps there is water on the side of the moon which is invisible
to us, Mr. Proctor said that he was disposed to accept the
opinion of Frankland, that water formerly existed on t)u<
moon’s surface, and that it had been absorbed into her interior,
as the once incandescent nucleus cooled and contracted ; them
can consequently be no evaporation-producing clouds ; anil if
there be an atmosphere, it must he of great tenuity. Mr.
Proctor then entered upon the consideration of the planet Mint,
illustrated by reference to large coloured pictures copied from
telescopic observations, and a chart of the hemispheres (com¬
piled by himself from Mr. Daw r es’s pictures), which exhibited
the geographical features duly named ; snow and ice appear to
exist as in our own polar regions. After describing the present
condition and probable past history of this planet, and pointing
out analogies with our globe, he arrived at the conclusion tlut
Mars has long since passed the stage when life such as we are
familiar with could exist upon its surface in consequence of the
extreme cold. He also explained the method by which variuui
astronomers have endeavoured to find accurately the time flat
Mars takes to revolve on his axis—that is, its day—and he stated
that he himself bail calculated it to be 24 hours37 min. 22 735**'.
Mr. Proctor then described the way in which Mr. Hujjgiu
had demonstrated the existence of water on the surface of
planet by the spectrum analysis of the vapour iu its atim*
sphere. Finally, he commented on the asteroids, a tout J
136 small planets travelling between Mars and Jupiter, aw
expressed his opinion as adverse to the theory that they are
fragments of a large planet which had exploded. The disturb
ing influence of Jupiter, he said, may possibly prevent
uniting to form one large planet.

The lecture this day (Saturday) will be devoted to Jupitu.

Dr. W. H. Stone gave the first of a course of two
on the Theory of Musical Instruments on Tuesday last b>
introductory remarks he strongly advocated the increased ele¬
vation of our minor senses, touch and hearing; referring,
other examples, to the power acquired by skilful municu^
whose very soul and character seem to stream forth from *
tips of their fingers. In these lectures, he said, he desireJ I
occupy the intermediate ground between treatises ou ^" u “' ’
and those on music, and that he washed to raise music fruw *
art to a science by the application of scientific principles. A‘*';
briefly referring to regular vibrations of the air P r °“ u .
musical tones, and to irregular vibrations creating mt’ir
aud stating that sound, like light, can be reflected ami rofr* '
and that every musical sound is characterised by its
pitch, and quality, he proceeded to consider more especial^
vibration of strings. Proceeding, then, to stringed ia****®*^

modem orchestra. This he effected by adding to the weight of
the string through coiling it with heavy pianoforte wire ; and
he showed that a fine solemn deep note is thereby produced.
In the illustrations of the lecture an orchestra was gradually
built up, beginning with a solo and ending with a quintet.
Mr. Carrodus played Bach’s “Chaconne” (a work seldom
attempted from its extreme difficulty) with marvellous breadth
and accuracy of intonation. He also led the melodious Trio
No. 3 of Corelli, two movements of Spohr’s G minor quartet
for strings, Mendelssohn’s Theme in l) with variations, and
the last movement of Schubert's quintet, commonly called
“The Forellen,” or “Trout” quintet, from the little popular
air of that name upon which it is founded. Mr. Enthoven
played to perfection a notturno of Kalliwoda, well fitted to
show the weird and mournful character of the viola. Mr.
Boatwright’s fine tone on the violoncello in Mendelssohn’s
variations was conspicuous, and he joined Mr. Godden in a
duet of Corelli for violoncello and double-bass. Mr. Bird's per¬
formance on the piano, both in the accompaniments and in the
difficult concertante parts of the Mendelssohn duet and the
Schubert quintet, was refined and sympathetic. The lecture
on Tuesday next will be devoted to Wind Instruments.

At the next and concluding Friday evening meeting
Professor Burdon Sanderson will give a discourse on the
singular plant named Venus's Fly-Trap (Dionrna muscinula).

With reference to Mr. Sedley Taylor’s lecture on the Trial
of Galileo (of which a notice appeared in our Number for
May 16, page 474), concluding with an appeal to the Roman
authorities to publish the whole set of Galileo documents in
facsimile, Mr. W. J. Fitzpatrick informs us that during the
revolution of 1848 the records of the Inquisition were carried
away from Rome, and are now preserved in the MS. Room of
Trinity College, Dublin. Recent examination showed that
the parts which should have related to the case of Galileo had
been cut out.

OBITUAEY OF EMINENT PEEvSONS.

SLR J. (4. REEVE DE LA POLE, It ART.

Sir John George Reeve-De la Pole, eighth Baronet, of Shute,

Devon, J.P. and D.L.,
died in Jerrnyn-street, on
the 19th inst. He was
bom Jan. 21, ISOS, the
son of Sir William
Templer De la Pole,
^ seventh Baronet, D.C.L.,
by Sophia Anne, his first
wife, only daughter of
George Templer, Esq., of
Shapwick House, in the
county of Somerset, and
was grandson of Sir John William Pole, sixth Baronet of Shute,
who assumed, by Royal license, in 1790, the prefix “ De la.”
The ancestor of Pole of Shute is stated by Prince, in “ The
Worthies of Devon,” to have possessed Pole, near Tiverton,
temp. William the Conqueror. The Baronet whose death we
record succeeded to the title April 1, 1847. He had taken, in
1838, the additional surname of Reeve. He was twice married:
first, March 26, 1829, to Margaretta, second daughter of Henry
Barton, Esq., of Saucethorpe Hall, in the county of Lincoln ;
and secondly, Feb. 2, 1843, to Josephine Catherine Denise
Carr4, of Auso, IlhOne, France ; but had issue only by the
former (who died June, 1842), one child, Margaretta Lucheaa
Jane Maria, married, first, 1S49, to Lieutenant-Colonel John
Temple West, Grenadier Guards ; and secondly, 1860, to
H. V. Pennefather, Esq^., late Captain in the 41st Foot. The
baronetcy devolves on Sir John’s half-brother, now Sir William
Edmund Pole, ninth Baronet, barrister- at-law, who is married
to Margaret Victoriosa, daughter of Admiral the Hon. Sir
John Talbot, G.C.B., and has issue.

SIR H. S. MEYSEy-THO.MP.SOX, BART.

Sir Harry Stephen Meysey-Thompson, Bart., of Kirby Hall
and Thorpe Green, in the county of York, died at Kirby Hall
on the 17th. inst., a few weeks only after his creation as a
Baronet. He was born, Aug. 11, 1809, the eldest son of Richard
Tohn Thompson, Esq., of Kirby Hall, by Elizabeth, his wife,
dau ghter of John Turton, Esq., of Sugnall Hall, in the county
■Stafford, and Mary Meysey, his wife. The family of
Thompson, from which he descended, is of long standing in
Yorkshire, and of the same origin as the Thompsons of
Humbleton, Escrick, and Sheriff Hutton. The deceased
Baronet went, as a Fellow Commoner, to Trinity College,
Cambridge, and graduated in honours in 1832. Subsequently
he became a magistrate and Deputy Lieutenant for Yorkshire;
served as High Sheriff in 1856 ; was one of the chief founders
of the Yorkshire Agricultural Society ; was elected, in 1S67,
President of the Royal Agricultural Society ; acted for many
years as chairman of the North-Eastern Railway Company •
and sat in Parliament for Whitby, in the Liberal interest*
from 1859 to 1865. He married, Aug. 26, 1843, Elizabeth
Anne, daughter of Sir John Croft, Bart., Baron da Serra da
Estrella, and leaves six sons and five daughters. Of the latter
the eldest, Elizabeth Lucy, was married, in 1868, to Walter
Stafford Northcoto, Esq., eldest son of the Chancellor of the
Exchequer. Of the sons, the eldest, Sir Henry Meysey
Meysey-Thompson, present Baronet, of Kirby Hall (educated
at Eton, and Trinity College, Cambridge), was bom Aug. 30,
1845; and the fourth, the Rev. Charles Maude Meysey-
Thompson, was married, the 28th of last month, to Emily
Mary, second daughter of Sir James Walker, Bart., of Sand
Hutton. Sir Harry took a very prominent part in railway
affairs ; and the estimation in which he was held by the
railway world is shown by the fact of bis having been chairman
of the United Railways Companies Association from its first
institution down to last year.

rpHE MEXICAN HAIR RENEWER

I has gained for itself the highest reputation, snd a decided
preference over all other " tiair-drewltijg*,* a» evinced from certifl.
rates and testimonials from the most, respectable sources. Being
compounded with the greatest cure -combining, as it does, all the
most desirable qualities *f the l*st hair preparations of the day,
without the objectionable ones—it may b- relied on <*a the very best
known to chemistry for restoring the natural colour to the hair,
snd causing new hsir to grow on bald spots, unless the hair glands
are decayed: for if the glands are decayed nnd gone no stimulant
can restore them ; but If. as is often the case, tho glands are only
turpi I. TUB MEXICAN UAlll RENEWER will renew their
vitality, and a new growth of hair will fo low. Read tho following
Testimonial from l»r Vcrsmann, Ph.D.:—

"Mr Henry C. Gallup, 40.4, Oxford-street, London.

*' Dear Sir,—I have made a thorough chemical analysis of your

MEXICAN HAIR RENEWER.

The constitution of the person and the condition of the scalp have
much to do with the length of time it requires for new hair to
grow; also thin or thick hair will depend much upon tho vital force
remaining in the hair glands. New hairs are first *c«u to start
arotuitl the margin of the laid ticnr the permanent hair, and

extending upwards until the spots are covered more or leas thickly
with fine short hair. Excessive brushing should be guarded against
as soon as the email halts make their appearanee; but tho scalp may
be sponged with rain-water to advantago occasionally. Toe scalp
mar be pressed and moved on the bona by the finger ends, which
quickens the circulation and softens the spots which have remained
long bald. On applying this bair-dressing it enlivens the scalp, and,
in cases where the hair begins to tell, a few applications will arrest it,
and the new growth present* the luxuriance and colour of youth.

"TheMexican Hair Renewer” may he procured of any firstelt—
Terf timer. Chemist, or Dealer in Toilet Articles throughout the king-
dom at 3a. fid. per Bottle. In case tho dealer has not the pre¬
paration m stock, and recommends something else as being

LONDON, SATURDAY, JUNE 6, 1S7/,.

■ ^' r ! ^ r ‘ R* srae h, on Tuesday afternoon, address-

ing ilie Speakerhf the House of Commons, “ I observe

rnoinw 1 " 6 nothing on the paper of the House for to-
rnorrow I therefore beg to move that the House, at its
rising do adjourn until Thursday next.” Such was the
orm in which the present leader of the House pmpoS
to drop out of the range of Parliamentary business the

Derby Day. It was cliaracteristic of the mover. The
thing having to be clone in conformity with a long series
of precedents, but being regarded by many as open to
various objections, Mr. Disraeli assigned for a motive
what, however true in fact, was worthless as a,
reason. No doubt the notice-paper of the House of
Commons for Wednesday last was a blank ; but
it was so simply because every member of the
House was well aware that it has long been the practice
of the Legislature to adjourn over that day for the sake
of giving to its members the opportunity of being pre¬
sent at the Epsom Downs to witness the great horse-ra je;
of the year without exposing himself to the charge of
neglecting public business for the sake of private
pleasure. Mr. Disraeli, we think, gained nothing by
throwing a veil of silence over the true reason for fcbe
adjournment. Nobody in the House misunderstooi
him ; nobody out of the House would fail to penetrate
we might almost say, “ the open secret ” of the motion!
Everybody knew that the race for the Derby Stakes at
Epsom was the real explanation of the Wednesday’s
holiday ; and it would have been preferable, we think,
if not in the terms of the motion, at any rate in the
speech by which it was introduced, frankly to avow the
ground upon which the House of Commons usually
adjourns over the Derby Day.

We decline giving any opinion either for or against
what Lord Palmerston, with classical picturesqueness of
phrase, once designated our Isthmian games. Any dis¬
cussion in these columns of the main question in dispute
would be felt by our readers, as well as by ourselves, to-
be inappropriate. It may, we think, be taken for granted
that horse-racing, like many other forms in which certain
qualities, partly the gift of nature, partly the result of
intelligent cultivation, is not in itself necessarily con¬
nected with questions of morality. Some persons, un¬
doubtedly, condemn it on puritanical grounds, and might
therefore consistently, aud perhaps do, condemn the
competition of ships in a regatta. For all such differences
of opinion charity should make ail ample allowance. With¬
out venturing to pronounce betweenthe dissentient parties,
it may be permitted us, nevertheless, to remark that
there lias grown up round almost every public competitive
trial a habit—the force of which is extremely insidious—
and the effect of wdiich upon society in the metropolis
and in most of our large towns is powerfully demoralising.
Gambling appeal’s to be one of the inevitable con*
comitants of social luxury; aud, unfortunately, it
spreads from class to class with a certainty that appears
to be irresistible, and, like a canker, eats away the
healthiest elements of English character. This con¬
tagious mania—for we can describe it in no milder
teims —has made and is making frightful progress
amongst us, and by its wide spread over the surface of
society is rapidly perverting right principles of action,
and lmgely effacing the best features of our common
manhood. What used to be an individual misfortune
has now become a kind of epidemic. The taint extends
itself in every direction, and, unless it can be stayed by
the counteractive of high and energetic moral character
aud example, threatens to deteriorate the very staple of
national virtue.

We cannot shut our eyes to the fact that the Darby
Day at Epsom has for many years past attracted to
itself an abnormal amount of the evil we have just
attempted to describe. We state it simply as a fact—
we do not attempt to account for it. It constitute* an
artificial concentration of those causes and elements
which excite and gratify the gambling propensity.
There are myriads of our fellow-countrymen who are
not in the least disposed to look with an unfavourable
eye upon the practice of horse-racing, who, nevertheless
contemplate with something akin to alarm the rapid
grow th of demoralising influences which commonly attend
upon the celebration of Ci our Isthmian games.” Betting
lias become so popular a vice, has forced its way
into so many of what used to be regarded as the
sanctuaries of society, and has led by its alluring
excitement to so many crimes, that even Parliament has
recognised the necessity of interfering with the liberty
of the subject for the sake of putting some effectual
restrictions upon it. To some extent, its efforts in this
direction have been successful. To a considerable ex¬
tent, as might have been reasonably anticipated, they
have failed. The cure, though it may be aided by
judicious legislation, w r ill be and must be essentially
moral. But tlii3 only lends increased weight to the
reasons w’hich should move the Legislature to refrain
from taking any step calculated to° neutralise its own
work.

The adjournment of the House of Commons over
the Derby Day is, perhaps, one of those customs which
would be “ more honoured in the breach than the ob¬
servance.” There is no real necessity for it. The House
is not called upon either by implication or expresfiy to
interfere in any way with the sports of the pjople, or to
pronounce any formal judgment upon their tendency. We
cau imagine it reasoning wfith itself after this fashion:—

firm us that we should proceed with the work
hi fore us from clay to day without reference to the
holidays which the public, in certain districts, may
choose to take for themselves. It is not expedient that
we should crown, or even seem to crown, with a national
sanction what has no pretension to be more than a
metiopolitan fete. We are engaged in trying to restrain
within the narrowest limits possible facilities for gam¬
bling ; wo are very well aware that nowhere do those
facilities more abound, nowhere are they made more
available, than on the Epsom Race-Course on Derby
Day. Is it consistent, is it prudent, is it politic, that
we should go out of our way to give an impetus
to what at best is proved by experience to in-
c: ease enormously the vice which we are otherwise
striving to abate 1 May we not by our example, as
; n Estate of the Realm, cast some contempt upon the
< nactments we have placed upon the statute-book 1 7 We
do not think that the House of Commons would have
ill consulted its own dignity by taking such thoughts as
these into its consideration. Of course, every member
of the House would be at liberty to gratify his own
taste. Those who wished to go to the race might have
gone; those who did not wish to do so might have
remained. But in that case there would have been no
break in the continuity of public business, and there
would have been no seeming sanction given to the habit
w hich the House itself is endeavouring to repress. We
apprehend that the moral effect of making the Derby
Day, such as it is, a quasi national holiday, by the
customary adjournment over it of the House of Commons,
is not precisely that which the Legislature desires. .

THE COURT.

The Queen , with Princess Beatrice, continues at Balmoral
Castle. Her Majesty receives very favourable accounts of

THE PRINCE OF ‘WALES YACHTING.

The Royal Thames Yacht Club has the Prince of Wales for its
Commodore, and his Royal Highness was on board Vice-Com¬
modore Lord Alfred Paget’s steam-yacht, the Cecil, to see the
first club match of the season, below Gravesend, on Mon¬
day week. The competing yachts that sailed were
three of the first class — namely. Count Batthyany’s
Kricmhilda, Mr. W. P. Miller’s Vanguard, and Mr. T.
Broadwood’s Arethusa ; and four of the second — Lord
Ailsa’s Bloodhound, Mr. Macmaster’s Myosotis, Major Ewing’s
Norman, and Mr. E. Fox’s Eveleen, Tho Prince and
many other gentlemen went down to Gravesend by special
train, and there embarked about eleven o’clock. The rear-
commodore, Mr. Brassey, M.P., and Mr. Melliss, and others of
the committee, were on board a hired steamer. When the
yachts started there was a shower and slight thunderstorm,
but the day’s weather in general was fine, with a nice E.S.E.
breeze. Tho course was round the Mouse Light and back,
which was finished at six o’clock by the leading yacht, the
Arethusa, winning the £100 prize in the first class. In the
second class, the Bloodhound won the £00 and'the Norinan
won the £30 prize. The Prince of Wales, with Lord Alfred
Paget, landed at tho Gravesend Town Pier, and returned by
train to London.

• THE ASHANTEE WAR EXHIBITION.

The large picture of “ Sir Garnet Wolseley and the Black
Watch Sighting in the Ashantee Forest,” painted by Mr. Louis
Deeanges for the proprietors of the Illustrated London News, is
now sent upon a tour of the provincial towns, beginning with
Glasgow” next week. With this picture are still exhibited the
original Sketches made by Mr. Melton Prior, our Special Artist,
who accompanied the army through tho campaign, and is the
only Artist that has ever visited the city of Coomassic.

Among those who came to Willis’s Rooms to see the picture
and sketches last Monday was the only Ashantee to be met in
England or Europe—no other than the uncle of King Coffee
Calcallce. This gentleman, who is an Englishman and
Christian by education, is Prince John Ansah, or Ossoo Ansab,
son of King Osai Tootoo Quamina, who died in 1820, the most
powerful and successful of Ashantee monarcha. The readers of
our illustrated narrative, “From Cape Coast to Coomassie,”
published two months ago, wrill know’ the chief events of Osai
Tootoo Quamina’s reign—his victorious wars on the Coast, from
1807 to 1S24, the defeats he inflicted upon the British Governors,
and especially the bat tle in which Sir Charles Macarthy was killed.
We know more of this Ashantee King than of his predecessors
and successors, from the books published by Mr. Bowdich and
Mr. Dupuis describing their sojourn as negotiators at his Court.
He was succeeded, according to the Ashantee constitutional
law, not by his son, but by his brother, Osai Ockotoo, who w’as
less fortunate in warlike policy, being signally defeated, in 1826,
by the British commandant’s small forces and native allies.

In 1831, when Mr. George Maclean was President at Cape
Coast Castle, a treaty of peace was made, to secure which the
Ashantee King delivered to us as hostages for ten years two
young Princes of his family—namely, his son, Quantibissah,
and his nephew, Ansah. The Wesleyan Missionary Society
undertook the care of their education ; the two boys were
brought to England, baptised William and John, and taught
like English boys in a school at Clapliam. They were kindly
noticed by many persons of rank and influence, the Archbishop
of Canterbury, the late Sir Robert Inglis, and the late Sir T. F.
Buxton, as well as merchants and politicians interested in West
Africa.

In 1841, the ten years having expired, Prince William
Quantibissah and Prince John Ansah returned to their native
country. They were in the Niger Expedition. Accompanied
by two Wesleyan missionaries, the Rev. W. Freeman and the
Rev. J. Brooking, they went up to Coomassie; and there
Prince William Quantibissah died, many years ago. King
Ockotoo was succeeded by King Qnaco Duali, in 1838, and
he by anftther; but the present King, “Monday” Calcallee,
is nephew to Prince John Ansah. It may readily be con¬
ceived that the position of Prince John Ansah, while he resided
at the Ashantee capital, was a difficult one ; and his endeavours,
upon some occasions, to servo the cause of peace, and thereby to
serve the interests of both Governments, and of the Ashantces,
the Assins, and the Fantees, brought upon him the ill-will of
conflicting parties. He latterly dwelt at Cape Coast Castle, re¬
ceiving in his house there, upon occasion, well-disposed Ashantee
visitors, while he was engaged in efforts to procure the release
of the German Basle missionaries kidnapped on the Volta in
18C9. Last year, when the Fantees of Cape Coast Castle were
thrown into a panic by the terror of the Ashantee invasion,
they riotously attacked Ansah’s house, jnurdered five of his
friends and servants, and would have taken his life, but that
he found shelter in the Castle. Tho Administrator, Colonel
Harley, was unable to protect him, and sent him away to Sierra
Leone, whence he has now come to England. He is accom¬
panied from Sierra Leone by tho Rev. B. Tregaskis, general
superintendent of Wesleyan missions in West Africa.

* At the Exhibition of the Ashantee War Picture, on Monday,
Prince Ansah came with Mr. Tregaskis, and Mr. and Mrs.
Everett Green, with whom he is staying. He expressed much
interest in the scenes depicted both in Mr. Desangea’ painting
and in the drawings of Mr. Melton Prior, whose acquaintance
he made at Sierra Leone; and he explained to the compauy a
few of the objects in the collection of Ashantee weapons, fur¬
niture, utensils, anti tools, wearing apparel, ornaments, and
fetish talismanp. Some of these articles he could recognise as
tlioBe which he had often seen at Coomassie. He called, the
same day, at the establishment of Messrs. R. and 8. Garrard,
in the Haymarket, to see the collection of gold ornaments and
emblems or trophies from King Coffee Calcadlee’s palace.

EXECUTION OF SPANISH PATRIOTS.

“Los Comuneros en el Suplicio”is the Spanish title of this
picture by A. Gisbert, which refers to a sad incident of three
centuries and a half ago, in the early years of the Emperor
Charles V., reigning as King of Spam from the death ol
Ferdinand, in 1516. Charles, though grandson of I erdinand by
the mother’s side, was very little of a Spauiard, being son
of Archduke Philip of Austria, and born at Ghent. He was
crowned Emperor in Germany in 1520, and was engaged
during the next year or two in dealing with Luther at Worms
and elsewhere. Meanwhile, the Spaniards revolted agaiust the
regency of his mother, Joanna, or rather against her foreign
courtiers and ministers ; and the Comuneros, as they called
themselves, led by Don Juan de Padilla, maintained a
brave struggle for their national liberties. Divided counsels
proved their ruin, as is usually tho case with a popular
faction. After many efforts and exploits, in tho provinces
of Castile and Leon, they suffered a fatal defeat, at Villalar,
April 23, 1521, from the Royal army under the Conde de Haro.
The heroic but unfortunate Padilla, with several of his com¬
rades, was beheaded next day at Tordesillas, which is the scene
depicted by the artist in this picture. Somo interesting par¬
ticulars may be read in Robertson’s history of Charles V., with
Padilla’s touching and manly letter to his wife, Maria Pacheco,
just before his death on tho scaffold. Queen Joanna, for her
part, went mad, and died in 1537, having kept her htuffianl’d
coffin in her bed-room forty years.

THE PUNJAB INSTITUTION.

The native association at Lahore, with seventeen affiliated local
branch societies, called the Anjaraan-i-Punjab, is designed to
promotethe spread of useful knowledge, and to encourage literary
studies and antiquarian researches among the people or all races
and religions in that British Indian proviuco. It was founded, in
1S65, by Dr. G. W. Leitner, Principal of the Government
Collego at Lahore, which has, since 1870, been connected with
a Punjab University, instead of depending on the University
of Calcutta. The Prince of Wales, as patron of the Sanscrit
Text Society, was an early friend of tho Punjab Literary In¬
stitution. Its members, of whom there are three hundred at
Lahore, have sent to his Royal Highness, by Dr. Loitnor, now in
London, an address with a report of their progress, to which
the Prince has sent an approving answer, as well as to an
address from tho Punjab University. Dr. Leitner hi ins elf has
received from the Anjaman-i-Punjab a handsome testimonial
gift, which they petitioned Government to allow him to accept,
it is a massive gold medal, tliree inches in diameter, set with
brilliants, upon which are inscriptions, in Sanscrit and in
Arabic, commending him as a true friend, in the first instance,
of “the Aryan race,” and in the second instance, of
“the \eo])\e ol Islam.” He is also mentioned as
the founder of many institutions, and the author of soaie
ethnclcgical and philological researches on the north-west
frontier of India. These liave lately been communicated, in
part, to several of the learned societies in London; aud we
have noticed his very interesting collections now open to view
in the upper gallery of the Royal Albert Hall, at the Inter¬
national Exhibition of the present year. They comprise
sculptures, especially* illustrative of the Greek influence upon
Indian sacred art from the conquests of Alexander ; Bactrian
aud other ancient coin3 ; beautiful manuscripts in different
Asiatic languages; articles of costume, furniture, and instru¬
ments of the obscure mountaineer nations ; HimaLayan plants,
insects, and minerals ; and an educational collection. At the
Vienna Great Exhibition of last year, where somo of these col¬
lections were shown, Dr. Leitner, who already wears tho
hereditary Austrian dignity of the Hon Crown, was rewarded
with the grand diploma of honour in Group 2(5, “ Education,
Instruction, and Culture the only such diploma, upon that
ground, bestowed on a British exhibitor. The north-western
province of our Indian empire, and the adjacent co mtries
beyond its frontier, afford peculiar inducement! to the scientific
pursuit of important researches in the history of mankind.

THE YELLOWSTONE LAKE REGION.

At the base of the Rocky Mountains, half way between the
Mississippi and the Pacific, aud at two thirds of the space from
the Atlantic to the western ocean shore of North America, is a
natural wonderland. It is a volcanic region of bailing springs
and silicious incrustations, similar to those around Lake Taupo,
in New Zealand, and far exceeding the more familiar examples
in Iceland. The Yellowstone lake and river, flowing into the
Upper Missouri, has r e given their name to that upland district,
which is part of Wyoming Territory, on the border of Montana.
By the exertions mainly of the Hon. Coiambus Delano,
Secretary of the Interior, the means were obtained of
surveying and making known thi3 extraordinary region. The
United States Congress, by an Act passed' in March, 1872,
ordained that the whole tract of unoccupied laud, measuring
fifty-five miles by sixty-five miles, should be for ever preserve:!
as a National Park for public enjoyment and the scientific study
of its phenomena. It is distant nearly 2300 miles from New York
and 300 miles from the nearest railroad, but will soon be found
or made tolerably accessible. Meantime, we have ju*fc hoard
that a surveying expedition returned to Bozeman, Montana,
on the 13th uit., in a battered and exhausted state,
having been harassed on its march by the Indians, with whom
its escort fought several battles. A small book describing the
“Wonders of the Yellowstone Region,” written by Mr. J a me 3
Richardson, was lately published by Messrs. Blaokie an l Son.
We are indebted to Mr. Serjeant Sleigh, who has travelled in
that part of North America, for the use of some finely-executed
photographs, taken under the direction of Profeasor F. V.
Hayden, the official geologist in charge of the Government
expedition tliree years ago. A set of these photographs was pre¬
sented by the United States Government to Mr. Serjeant Sleigh.
Two of them are copied for our Illustrations. One represents the
“Mammoth Hot Springs” of Gardiner’s River. The white
silicious deposit hero covers the side of the mouutain for a
length of one mile, and to the height of nearly 1000 ft. ; it
forms successive terraces, iu which basins are hollowed out by
the water falling from above. The seeond view is that of
Upper Firehole Basin, from the crater of “ Old Faithful,” a hot
spring so called because of its regular action, ever once iu
sixty-five minutes. It throws, by successive impulses, a column
of water 6 ft. in diameter to the height of 150 ft., continuing
twelve minutes. The silicious deposits here arc of marvellous
beauty.

The people of Paisley had a general holiday on Wednesday
to celebrate the centenary of Robert Tannahill, who is held by
them to be the greatest song writer of Scotland after Bums. J

TOLOSA, BASQUE PROVINCES.

About twenty miles inland from San Sebastian, and upon the
railroad an hour’s ride after entcringSpain from France, is the
neat and thriving Basque town of Tolosa, near the confluence
of the Azpiros and Ona rivers. It has about eight thousand
people, and is the capital of Guipuzcoa. The lofty hills, or
rather mountains, of Frnio on the west side, and Loaza
on the east, overlook its picturesqno valley. The town
is of high antiquity, containing the family mansions,
or rasas solans, of many illustrious grandees. One such
house at Tolosa claimed the ancestral fame of Domenjou
Gonzales, whom our Edward IV. created a Knight of
the Garter in 1471. This was a reward for the services of a
Basque legion in our Wars of York and Lancaster. Three
centuries and a half later, England returned the favour by
sending a British legion, under Sir De Lacy Evans, to take part
in the civil wars of Northern Spain. The Carlist faction is
strong in this neighbourhood. The Basque nation, which in
Spain numbers 700,000 and in France 140,000, is quite distinct
from the Celtic and other races on the western shores of
Europe. A stubborn attachment to their local and municipal
self-government lias often embroiled the Basques with the rulers
of Spain. __

FRANCE.

{From our Correspondent in Paris,)

Thursday, June 4.

The Ministry pursues the even tenour of its way, while in
the Assembly Right and Left arc engaged in a struggle over
the proposed new municipal and electoral laws, the final hop8
of tne Monarchical party. It is said that the Government,
unless interpellated, will take no part in the discussion, being
content with keeping the various departments of the State in
working order, and allowing Royalists and Republicans to fight
out their quarrels among themselves. The silent system is
certainly safest under present circumstances, when a Ministry
that dared to speak out boldly one way or another would,
owing to the anarchy to which the different parties of the
Assembly are now reduced, run the risk of being overthrown
in the course of a few weeks. One subject above all others
appears seriously to preoccupy the new Cabinet—that of the
deficit in the Budget, which every succeeding quarter renders
more formidable, and it is understood that as soon as the
Financo Minister, M. Magne, is well enough to address the
Assembly he will demand an adjournment of the present profit¬
less political debates in order that certain pressing financial
measures may be discussed, with the view of avoiding un¬
pleasant complications at the close of the year.

The campaign in the Assembly was opened last Saturday
by M. Berenger, a member of M. Tliicrs V Cabinet fora few
days prior to the ex-President’s fall, who proposed that the
political electoral law should be placed on the order of the day,
before the bill regulating the elections for the municipal
councils. This was precisely what the Due de Broglie had de¬
manded a fortnight previously ; and M. Bcrenger was some¬
what embarrassed to explain why he now asked the Assembly
to consent to what he had so recently opposed. Pressed by
the Right Centre to give his reasons, he eventually
admitted, on behalf of the Thiers party, that their
vote on May 16 had been dictated by the generally-
felt necessity of overthrowing the De Broglie Cabinet,
and not by any opinion adverse to the Priino Minister’s pro¬
posal. This speech called forth a rejoinder from M. Dopey re,
late Keeper of the Beals, who in elegiac language touchingly
bewailed the loss of his portfolio ; and eventually, after a com¬
plication of speeches from members belonging to almost every
group, M. Bercnger’a proposition was rejected, and priority
given to the law on municipal elections.

This measure was accordingly read for the first time at the
following sitting; and, after an amusing altercation betweeu
M. Jozon, memlier of the Left, and M. Lorguil, the well-
known defender of Divine Right, young Vicomtc d’Hausson-
ville, sen of the celebrated Orleanist diplomatist and Acade¬
mician, delivered a sensational speech against the proposed
measure, violently attacking, in turn, the Bonapartists, whom
he accused of having violated, on the Second of December, the
universal suffrage which they now pretended to defend, and
the Extreme Loyalists, who by their obstinacy in clinging to
the fetish of Divine Bight were preparing, ho said, the ruin of
France. As he had severely apostrophised several of the
more noted apostates of the Assembly, one of them, M. Arnedee
Lefevre-Pontalis, in vain attempted to justify some of his recent
votes. Eventually the Assembly decided, by 304 ayes against
208 noes, that the bill should be read for the second time on
Satuiday next. Another measure, entitled the Organic Muni¬
cipal Law, was then read for the first time, and the debate upon
it adjourned.

On Tuesday the political electoral bill came on for discus¬
sion, the debate being opened by M. Henri Briason, an eccentric
member of the Left, who also indulged iu a violent and indis¬
creet attack against the Bonapartists, at this moment in a kind
of alliance with his own party. This intemperate address was
followed by a veritable tumult, and the sitting was suspended
for nearly half an hour. At length something like calm wa3
restored, and M. Bertauld, an eminent Republican jurisconsult,
spoke temperately in favour of adjourning the discussion. He
was followed by M. Lacaze, of the Left Centre, who took upon
himself the part of the good Samaritan, eager to heal the
wounds of all parties ana to restore general peace and con¬
cord. Then came M. Tolain, whose remarks against the bill were
short and to the point; and finally M. de Lacratelle, who only
mounted the tribune to remind tne majority that all fractions
of the Assembly—Legitimist, Orleanist, Bonapartist, and Re¬
publican—were alike the offspring of that universal suffrage
which it was proposed to mutilate. M. Brisson had proposed
the previous question, which was rejected by a majority of
314 ; while M. Lacazo had demanded the adjournment of the
debate until the constitutional laws had been voted, but his
suggestion was also negatived—the majority haying diminished,
however, in this instance to 73 votes. The discussion was
then resumed, a sensible, though somewhat lengthy, address
from M. Delorme, of the Moderate Left, occupying the attention
of the Assembly uutil the hour for adjournment.

M. Gambetta was not present at these debates, having
undertaken an excursion into the Yonno with the view of
sounding public opinion. On Monday he was entertained in
the vicinity of Auxerre by M. Bert, one of his colleagues, when
he delivered an important speech, again predicting the speedy
triumph of the Republic, whose cause, he said, was fast gaining
adherents, in spite of the recent election in the Nievro. He is
reported to have alluded to and regretted the differences of
opinion which separated him from M. Lcdru-Rollin.

A short rime ago the annual subvention granted by the State
to the Society des Gens de Lettres was suppressed by the
Minister of Public Instruction, on its coming to his knowledge
that among the society’s pensioners were four notorious Com¬
munists—MM. Felix Pyat, Paschal Groussot, Jules Valic3,

and Razoua. In consequence of this proceeding a committee
was appointed by the society to decide whether the names of
the implicated parties should or should not he erased from the
list of members. The inquiry has just terminated in a
ludicrous fashion—Pyat and Grousset being retamed in their
position as pensionnaires, and Valles and Razoua being
expelled. The decision has caused considerable controversy,
the defenders of Valles and Razoua, fairly enough, asserting
that their clients are far less culpable than Felix Pyat. With

gate to Exterior Relations,” it is generally admitted that the
rule he played during the insurrection was more ludicrous than
dangerous ; and that, if any exception at all w ere made, it might
be in hiB favour. „ .

In St. Helen’s, Bishopsgate-strcet, there formerly existed two
chantry chapels, dedicated respectively to tho Holy Ghost and
to the Blessed Virgin Alary. In the seventeenth century the
latter was built up to form a vestry. Tfie scheme for the de¬
molition of the Church of St. Martin Outwioh and the union of
its parish with that of St. Helen provides that the monuments
shall be re-erected in the church of the united parishes ; and,
in order to allow of this, the Merchant Taylors’ Company, a3
patrons of the living, have opened out the Lady chapel, ami in
so doing many objects of archaeological interest have been dis¬
covered, the niches for statues still retaining their colour, the
steps leading to the altar, with encaustic tile3 in si fa: traceried
windows and piscinm. The wall built during the seventeenth
century was entirely composed of wrought stone, whichhad formed
part of the adjoining convent of of some other church, such as
quaitrefoil3 inclosing shields, sections of pillars, and capitals
and bases of pi Hare. As no other example of a similar cha¬
racter now exists in the city of London, the arclneological student
should without loss of time inspect these venerable remains,
to which access is most readily and courteously given by the
Vicar and the churchwardens.

in London, both having been below tho average numbers.
The 1385 deaths included 37 from measles, 26 from scarlet
fever, 3 from diphtheria, 41 from whooping-cough, 30 from
different forms of fever, 21 from diarrhoea, and not one from
smallpox ; thus to the seven principal diseases of the zymotic
class 158 deaths were referred, against 153 and 138 in the two
preceding weeks. The deaths referred to disoasca of tho
respiratory organs and phthisis, which in the two previous
weeks had been 387 and 417, rose last week to 437, exceeding
the average by 32. Different forms of violonco caused 53
deathB ; and 12 deaths from fractures and contusions, result¬
ing from negligence or accident, were caused by horses or
vehicles in the streets. The mean temperature averagod
59'5 deg., which was 4*1 deg. above the average for tbo
corresponding period in fifty years.

A meeting of the ltoyal National Life-Boat Institution M r as
held, on Thursday, at its house, John-street, Adelphi. Tho
silver medal of the institution and its thanks inscribed on
vellum were granted to Mr. Michael Langan and Mr. Thomas
AI ‘Combie, the first and second officers of the steamer Princess
Alexandra, belonging to the Commissioners of Irish Lights,
together u’itli a reM'ard of £20 to fourteen men who had put
oft with the m in the steamer’s gig and cutter and saved, under
perilous circumstances, three of the crew of the brig Hampton,
of Dublin, which M as wrecked on the Bull Sand in Dublin Bay
during a heavy gale from the W.S. W., on April 13 last. Other
honorary and pecuniary rewards were granted to the crews of
shore-boats and others for saving life from wrecks on our coasts;
and payments amounting to upwards of £1100 were ordered to
he made on life-boat establishments. Amongst tho contribu¬
tions received by the society during tho past month were £75
from tho Royal Aierscy Yacht Club, being the proceeds of a
ball; £10 10s. from the Dramatic Club of the Honourable
Artillery Company ; and £28 18s. collected from the captain
nnd passengers on board the colonial mail-steamer Windsor
Castle, on her voyage from Dartmouth to Capetown. The
late Captain Robert Gibson, R.N., of Lancaster, has left the
institution £100. Reports were read from the life-boat in¬
spectors of the institution on their recent visits to the coast.

On Saturday the largest gathering of Aletropolitan
Volunteers M'hich has been held in Hyde Park since the
memorable occasion when her Alajosty reviewed the London
and many of the provincial corps was held, and with splendid
weather and the general half-holiday the spectacle attracted
an immense number of spectators. There wore other dis¬
plays in Regent’s Park, Wimbledon, and other places round

London. The following were tho regiments in Hyde Park :_

1st Middlesex (Victoria) Rifles, two companies, under Major
Anderson; tho 2nd (South) Aliddlesex Rifles, ten companies,
under Lieutenant-Colonel Viscount Ranelagh ; the 4bh Middle¬

JUNE C, 1874

SKETCHES IN PARLIAMENT.

An unusually large number of members assembled in the House
of Commons on the first evening after the Whitsun recess. The
reason was obvious ; for there was on tbat occasion to be
enacted what is traditionally supposed to be a tragedy, but in
action and in fact is not more than a farce. Au offender against
the high and mighty conditions of Parliament was to be hauled
up, and a breach of privilege was to be considered. \ ery soon
after the sitting commenced a person was observed to be stand¬
ing at the bar, bowing and gesticulating at the Speaker, whose
attention was soon caught to the exceptional appearance before
him. Thereupon a voice was heard asking that its owner might
at once be allowed to raise a question of privilege. Of course,
everyone present pricked up his ears, and supposed that the
culprit who was expected was before the House. But it proved
to be only Mr. O’Donnell, who has just been ejected from the
representation of Galway, after a brief tenure of a seat for that
borough, during which he evinced a self-confidence and a
capacity lor everlasting controversy, and qualities generally
which rendered it not surprising that he should take the un¬
usual course of appearing personally at the bar, when he was
no longer a member of the House. As may be supposed, the
Speaker summarily dismissed h im , and he went on his way,
with, perhaps, not a few wishes that he would be no more seen
or beard in that assembly.

In due time the real case of breach of privilege came on.
The Chairman of that which is called for the sake of brevity
the 44 Explosive Committee ” (which means the Committee on
Explosive Substances)—to wit, Sir John Hay—moved that Mr.
R. S. France be called to the bar. It seems that this person is
one of the irritabUe genu# known as 44 inventors/’ and has dis¬
covered something which neutralises all explosive substances
and prevents them from blowing up, except when legitimately
required to do so ; and he wanted to bring a mass of evidence
l>efore the Committee. Some of Iris antecedents in the same
line before a Committee of the Lords were probably known to
the Explosive Committee ; and, being unwilling to have their
inquiiy prolonged until the “crack of doom,” they refused to
have anything to do with him. Thereupon he libelled the
Committee, and the Chairman in particular, with all the force
of an expert in the art of abuse. For this he was now called on
to answer. Amidst complete silence, the Speaker gave the
order to call in the offender ; the Sergeant-at-Arms drew him¬
self up in his chair and adjusted his trusty sword, as ready for
the worst ; and that mysterious telescopic brass rod, which
generally lies concealed, and which is the material “bar,” was
drawn out, and presented a fragile obstacle to the entrance of the
culprit an inch into the sacreu precincts of the House. The
mome nt ought to have been awful ; but, strange to say,
nobody seemed to think it so; and, if it were not profane to
make such an insinuation, there might have been an inclination
to titter prevailing. The intervention of Mr. Forsyth pre¬
vented the immediate advent of the accused ; for the member
for Marylebone, stating that Mr. France was a constituent of
his, thus implying an electoral obligation upon him, proceeded
to say tbat he was about to read a long, prosy, and irrelevant
statement of his client, the end-all o( which was a withdrawal
of his calumnious statements and an apology for them.
Although, he himself would probably have admitted, the
having to listen to the document which was read was an aggra
vation of the offence against the House, Mr. Forsyth askei
that it might be considered enough, and that Mr. France
should be spared the terrible infliction of appearing at the bar.
This would probably have been acceded to ; but Mr. Disraeli,
who has a penchant for making much of breaches of pri¬
vilege, with a solemnity that might easily have glided into
mockery, declared that the House ought not to be satisfied
until they had put the offender on so much of 'the
rack as was in its power. Accordingly, Mr. France was
brought in, and, standing isolated ~at the bar, looked
very small indeed, both physically and metaphysically.
Having been interrogated by the Speaker, and iu so many
spoken words apologised, be was allowed to withdraw. But
again Mr. Disraeli intervened, and, seeming to think that the
poor_ mouse had not been sufficiently played with in cat-like
fashion, insisted on its being brought back and made to feel
the claws once more — in fact, to be 44 admonished.” Back,
looking now really frightened, came Mr. France, and was duly
44 admonished,” the Speaker delivering himself in a maimer
which might have been supposed to indicate that he had. diffi¬
culty in restraining his laughter. The culprit being finally
disposed of, and endeavouring to appear tremendously im¬
pressed with the force and power of “ admonition,” darted
rapidly out of the House, and perhaps, ere he passed through the
lobby, snapped his fingers at the whole of the proceedings, even
if he did not go the length of placing the finger of scorn to the
nose of derision, as the Persian apothegm has ifc.

Two years ago Mr. Thomas Hugheshad the hardihood to at¬
tempt to withstand a tradition of the House of Commons whichis
now as well established, if not even more dearly cherished, than
that of privilege— namely, the adjournment for tbe Derby. On
that occasion there were found a not inconsiderable number of
mend ers who were either puritanic enough, or devoted-to-the-
servicc-of-thoir-country enough, to vote against the grantin'*
of a holiday for a horse-race. Last year the Derby Day fe3
during the \Y liitsunfcidc recess, so that the custom did not come
into question. Possibly Mr. Disraeli anticipated a renewal of
the opposition which had sprung up, and therefore, in moving
the adjournment, he simply put it on the ground that there
was no business on the paper for Wednesday. There was a
pause and it. may have been supposed that the proposal was
§? JD .€ /amed by acclamation as in the olden time. But
"Led Lawson arose, with his countenance beaming with
drollery, and delivered a speech which was the perfection of
humorous irony and good-humonred sarcasm. From every
point of view the custom of adjourning for the Derby was ridi¬
culed, but m such a manner as to indueo a belief that it
was only done in order to exhibit the power of the drollery
of the speaker, and not with any real intention of
sinking at the custom; and this idea was strengthened by
the comically suggestive w*ay in which Sir WUfred Lawson
stated that he w ould not say whether lie was going to the
Derby himself or not. Altogether he afforded a gooa deal of

?- Cy ot - tro3t!n S tho and Ho

obtained the distinction of havuig made so overwhelming a
speech that no one attempted to spoil its effect by saying a
word after it. Though there was a division, anil the Ill il-
conten.3 mustered some sixty strong, yet nothing has yet been
done to shake the mlluence which the Derby Day has over the
Legislature.

A singular state of things has occurred iu the House—
namely, that of a great number of tho Ministerialists
speaking and voting against the Government, who were
only saved from a hostile division by the adherence
ot many of the Opposition. This was not uncommon
curing the regime of the late Ministry, but it wao not
predicated of the well-trained Tory phalanx that it should
practically revolt from its leader. What induced Mr
Carwwr gbt, who was born, cradled, and bre 1 in diplomacy an l
who has hitherto confined himself to mild murmuring* on

questions of foreign policy, to take up the case of Father
O’Keeffe, the Callan schools, and the Commissioners for Educa¬
tion, which Mr. Bouverie made so prickly for the late Govern¬
ment last year, is not comprehensible by the uninitiated. But
so it was ; and a very warm debate ensued, in which the
Commissioners and Mr. OTvceffe were respectively held
up as monsters, opinion being scattered in parcels all
over the House. Any unanimity that was obvious was
amongst a section of tbe Ministerialists, who by speech and
cheers seemed determined to hold up Mr. O’Keeffe as a martyr
to the “Pope-compelled” Commissioners, and they were in
open mutiny, led by Mr. Henley, against the Ministry, which
had endeavoured to effect a compromise. Hot was the contro-
versj’, and notably Mr. Sullivan and Mr. Conolly, each on a
different side, distinguished themselves by their energy and
their command of strong language. The matter grew so critical
that Mr. Disraeli had to rouse himself from that attitude of
silent observation which he affects, and to make a speocli which
was certainly most adroit and astute, but which would have
been better adapted for a bench of judges than for the excited
audience before him. Whatever might have been its rhetorical
effect, the ultimate result was satisfactory, inasmuch a3 the
Ministry was saved the mortification of being put into a minority
by a large section of its own followers.

PARLIAMENTARY SUMMARY.

HOUSE OF LORDS.

On Monday tbe Lord Chancellor’s Land Bill was read the
third time and passed ; the Parochial Records (Ireland) Bill,
the Customs and Inland Revenue (the Budget) Bill, and the
India Councils Bill, were read the second time.

The House was occupied for some time on Tuesday night
in a debate on the Church Patronage (Scotland) Bill, tho second
reading of which was moved by the Duke of Richmond. The
Earl of Selkirk moved the rejection of the measure, but ulti¬
mately the amendment was negatived without a division and
the bill was read the second time.

On Thursday the Archbishop of Canterbury moved that the
House do resolve itself into Committee on the Public Worship
Regulation Bill. The Earl of Limerick moved as au amend¬
ment, 44 That this House, while admitting the present unsatis¬
factory state of the laws ecclesiastical, is of opinion that
exceptional legislation is not now desirable, but rather calcu¬
lated to promote vexatious litigation.” A long discussion
followed.

HOUSE OF COMMON’S.

Mr. R. S. France was on Monday called to the bar on a
breach of privilege, in having written a letter libelling the
chairman and the Select Committee on Explosive Substances,
and was admonished. The subject of the removal of officers
without court-martial was discussed on a motion, which was
negatived by a large majority. The Civil Service Estimates
were advanced nearly to their end, the amount voted being
£3,7S1,343 ; tbe Revenue Officers Disabilities Bill was passed
through Committee ; and, amongst other measures, the Juries
Bill was taken in Committee.

The entrance upon public business was for a long time
barred on Tuesday by the discussion upon private bills. When
these were disposed of and the questions answered, Mr. Disraeli
moved the adjournment of the House over the Derby Day. Tiie
motion was opposed in a lively speech by Sir Wilfrid Lawson,
but was carried by 243 to GO. The subject of mmtUftel
claims of British subjects for compensation for losses caused by
the Alabama during tbe American War was brought forward
and discussed. Then tho case of Mr. O’Keeffe, the Caliau
schools, and the conduct of the Irish Commissioners were
revived, and a motion of censure on the latter was negatived
by 20(Tvote8 against 118.

On Thursday Mr. MacCombie, member for West Aberdeen¬
shire, took the oath and his seat. Mr. E. J. Noel, who has
been ill for some considerable time, was, upon taking the oath,

g *eefced with cheers. Mr. G. Hardy, in reply to a question
om Mr. Dillwyn respecting the circumstances of Lord
Aylesbury and a troop of yeomanry cavalry at the Leamington
railway station on the occasion of her Majesty passing through
on May 20, stated that Lord Aylesbury in the first place did not
obtain admission by violence ; and in the second place, he bad
the permission of his commanding officer to do what he did.
Mr. Gross, on rising to move that the Speaker do leave tna
chair, in order that the House should go into Committee upon
the Licensing Act Amendment Bill, remarked that what he
had stated w hen he asked for leave to bring in the bill and
upon the second reading had been much misunderstood, and he
had been considerably misrepresented. It had been stated that
ho had found very great faults with tho Act of 1S72 regarding
this question, ana that lie had also said that the Act did not
work satisfactorily. Such statements had never fallen from him
in the sense in which they had been understood by the country.
He believed tbat the measure they introduced had been uni¬
versally condemned, as was the action of the Government upon
it; and he thought that some of the restrictive clauses of the
measure they introduced had inflicted great hardship upon
several persons ; but the Act, upon the whole, had done good.
Ho proposed that the public-houses in London should close at
half-past twelve o’clock, that the boundaries of the metropolis
should remain as they were, that in the large towns in the
country the hour of closing should be half-past eleven o’clock ;
that in the Bmall towns, when the population was uuder 2503,
the closing hour should be ten o'clock ; aud that, as regarded
bcer-hou8es, the hour of closing should bo uniform both iu
London and the country. Mr. V. Harcourt, who had given
notice of another amendment, declined to press it, as the Home
Secretary had now conceded all he required. The House then
went into Committee, and the consideration of tho clauses of
the bill occupied tho remainder of the sitting.

ELECTION ITEMS.

Mr. George Browne and Mr. O’Connor Power have been
returned for the county of Mayo, the figures being—Browne,

1J30; Power, 1319; lighe, 1272. The members are both
Home Rulers. Messrs. * Browne aud Tighe were unseats 1
through an informality in the conduct of the previous elections.

A special case, involving the tenure of Lord Kensington’s
seat for Haverfordwest, was argued before the Court of Common
Pleas on Tuesday. At the election Mr. Davis, who offered him¬
self as a candidate, refused to make any deposit with the
returning officer for the purpose of meeting the expenses, aud
the Sheritl declined to appoint a poll, returning Lord Kensington
as member. The Court held that the Sheriff had no right to
reFuse the nomination of Mr. Davis, and that the election of
J-<ora Kensington was void.

Yesterday week tho Court of Common Pleas decided the
question of costs m the trial of the Taunton petition. On

fWo^v day i ^5* Pa r 1 ! a “ ent "'a* dissolved 1 Mr. Justice
Grove delivered judgment in favour of the respondent. Sir H
James, with costs against the petitioner!. It was afterwards
contended on their part that, under tho circumstances, the

judgment was not “delivered” during the duration of Parlia¬
ment, and tbat tbe order for payment of costs by the peti¬
tioners was void. The Court was unanimous, yesterday week,
in deciding that the order was effectual; that under it Sir H.
James was entitled to be paid his costs ; and, further, that the
petitioners must pay the costs of this unsuccessful experiment.

Mr. Baron Bramwell gave judgment, on Monday, on the
North Durham petition. After reviewing the evidence, his
IiordBlrip remarked that he could not say that the members
had lost their scats by bribery, treating, or intimidation by
themselves or their agents, but could not but admit the fact
that general intimidation had been resorted to by the miners
His Lordship testified to the intelligence which had been dis-
jdayed by tbe miners who had been called as witnesses, and to
the decorum observed by the large gathering of delegates and
other representatives of the miners who had assembled in the
galleries during the progress of the proceedings, and said he
deplored tbat a class of men who were so strongly desirous of
obtaining tbe franchise and also the liberty of voting as their
judgment dictated should be so far blinded by their partisan¬
ship as to deny to others that right they so dearly prized them-
selves. In conclusion, his Lordship said he could not avoid
finding tbat the charge of general intimidation had been proved
On tbe issue be had to declare tbe election void, that the meim
bers be unseated, and that they pay the costs of the preseat
petition. At a meeting of Liberals held immediately after the
rising of the Court, it was unanimously agreed that, as Messra
Bell and Palmer were not disqualified from again comim? for¬
ward for election, they should be selected as the candidates of
the party at the new election ; and £10,000 was subscribed in
the room towards defraying the costa of the contest.

In giving judgment on Monday upon the Drogheda petition
Mr. Justice Barry said that tho election was not invalidated
by the delay in opening the booths, inasmuch * as no
elector was present for the purpose of voting. The petition
might have been disposed of on a case stated to the Common
Pleas. In the mode of bringing up voters there was not any
intention of defeating the secrecy of the ballot. The con¬
struction of the booths was unknown to the candidates, aud
there was nothing to show there had been .any violation of
secrecy; yet it was a serious question whether the endangering
of tills would not invalidate the election. As the question of
the construction was a purely abstract one of law, he thought
it would not lie in tho interest of the public that he should
decide it, and he would therefore send the case to the Court of
Common Pieas.

Mr. Justice Grove arrived at Boston on Monday evening,
and opened the inquiry there. The petition was presented l>y
Mr. J. W. Malcolm, one of the Conservative members for the
borough in the last Parliament, against the return of Mr.
\\illiam J. Ingram and Mr. Thomas Parry, who were returned,
in the Liberal interest, at the general election. The case for
the petitioner closed on Thursday. Mr. Ingram was then
called, and examined at great length. He spoke to the long
connection w ith the borough of his father, Mr. Herbert Ingram^
whose representation of it in Parliament was cut short by his
being drowned in Lake Michigan fourteen years ago. His
father contributed largely to all local charities for many years,
and did much for the commercial and social welfare of the
town. Since his father’s death his mother had kept up the
charities, and taken deep interest in the welfare of the borough.
He attributed his own popularity and success at the late
election to these facts. He denied all knowledge or sanction,
of treating or other illegal practices in his interest at the
election. The inquiry was proceeding at the time we went to
press with our early edition.

THE SCOTTISH GENERAL ASSEMBLIES.

Both the Assemblies were occupied yesterday week with the
discussion of the Government bill for the abolition of patron¬
age. In the Assembly of the Established Church a debate arose
upon motions in favour of giving to all professedly Christian
ratepayers a vote in the choice of ministers, instead of restrict¬
ing tbe electors to communicants, as proposed in the bilL Ths
Rev. D. Wallace w r as one of tho supporters of the more com¬
prehensive principle. On divisions, however, there were found
to be overwhelming majorities in favour of the proposal in the
bilL In the Free Church Assembly a resolution condemning
the Government bill was carried by 433 votes to 6G. After¬
wards a resolution was earned by 295 votes to 98 in favour of
disestablishment, “effected in a just and equitable maimer.”

The General Assembly of tbe Established Church con¬
sidered, on Monday, an application for admission to the Church
on the part of the Rev. Mr. Knight, Minister of St. Enoch’s,
Dundee, who recently left the Free Church while proceedings
were pending on a libel charging him with erroneous doctrine
promulgated in articles iu the Con/-' mporary Review. A motion
to the effect that Mr. Knight be forthwith received as a minister
and his congregation as members in full communion with the
Established Church, after some discussion, was carried by 152
to G3. The Moderator having delivered his closing address, the
Assembly was closed by the Lord High Commissioner with the
usual formalities. The Free Church Assembly resolved to
memorialise Government to maintain with vigour the policy
which dictated tho mission to Africa of Sir Barfclo Frere.

At the sitting of the Free Church Assembly on Tuesday a
letter was read from Dr. Duff, stating that, iu consequence of
what had taken place in connection with the election of Dr.
Rainy to the principaLship of the new college, he felt it hi*
duty to resign his professorship of Evangelistic Theology, and
all the other offices he holds in the Church. A deputa-rin.
waited on Dr. Duff, who consented to withdraw his resignation.
The sittings of the Assembly closed in the evening.

Mr. Gates was, on Thursday week, elected the firet Mayor
of Peterborough under the newly-granted charter of incorp 'rt*
tiou. The occasion was observed as a gala day, and there was
a display of fireworks at night.

The state apartments of Windsor Castle, including the
rooms used by the Emperor of Russia, are open to the public,
tickets can bo obtained at the principal booksellers in tho
town. The shrubs in the beautiful rhododendron walk in tho
Great Turk are in full bloom.

The series of International Exhibitions at South Kensington
coming to a close with the present year’s, Mr. W. E. Itonlle
has suggested that the Society of Arts should hold a series ot
similar exhibitions in the leading provincial citie 3 , beginning
Manchester in 1875. Mr. Rendle proposes to surmount the
difficulty of a suitable building by constructing his portable
miniature crystal palaces in each town in succession.

The Roman Catholic University, Dublin, was on SuniUy

THE ILLUSTRATED LOND ON NE WS

NATIONAL SPORTS.

THE EPSOM SUMMER MEETING.

In fpite of tlie long spell of dry weather, which made the coarse
very hard and slippery, there wore capital fields on tlie first
dav at Epsom. Oxonian, whose stamina appears to improve
with age, bad no trouble in winning the Craven Stakes, in
which St. Patrick-ran very badly. Madame To to beat a very
mederato lot in a Maiden Plate, and then Kaiser (Oat. 41b )
gave Cambuslang (7 st. 3 lb.) such an easy beating that Anured a
performance in the Great Cheshire Stakes was considerably
discounted, and therefore the trials of Atlantic and Aquilo
were somewhat depreciated. For the Woodcoto Stake3,
Chaplet, the sister to RoBicracian, was made a very hot
favourite. She has, however, been recently amiss, and Lady¬
love, whom she defeated with consummate ease at the First
Spring Meeting, at Newmarket, completely turned the tables
on her. Behind the pair were two or three very

aristocratic youngsters, including FIIlo du CieJ, an own
sister to Heine, by Monarque—Fille do lAir, and

The Grey Palmer, a half-brother to Formosa, by The
Palmer—EUer. There was only one casualty during the
day, Sister to Viridis, the favourite for Madame Toto’s
race, coming down very heavily and breaking one of her legs.
The filly had to be destroyed, but T. Cannon, who rode her,
escaped with a shaking, and was able to be in the saddle again
on the following day.

A heavy fall of rain on Tuesday night softened the course,
laid the dust, and made Wednesday one of the pleasantest
.Derby Days we ever remember. It is, of course, impossible to
estimate the number of people on Epsom Downs, but the road
seemed patronised to a greater extent than ever, and the stands
and the side of the hill looked unusually crowded. Little
attention was paid to the first race, and the moment it was
over there was a rush to the paddock to inspect the Derby
horses. The first we saw' was Ecossais, whose toilet was per¬
sonally superintended by Tom Jennings. Tho colt, though
decidedly above himself, appeared to have done a fair amount
of work; hi 3 badly-shaped forelegs ^ were, however,
baud aged up to the knees, and he did not appear to
relish his tass, repeatedly lashing out with his hind legs. Mr.
Cartwright’s pair were the next that attracted our attention.
Voltumo, who w as merely started to make the running, is a
very mean, common-looking colt, whose appearance gave no pro¬
mise that he would fulfil his mission as well as he did. George
Frederick, on the contrary, agreeably disappointed us. ^ lie has
always been a grand-looking animal, and now, for the first time
in his life, was thoroughly fit. His heavy shoulders have lined
down considerably, and his owner, who stood by to see him
saddled, looked the picture of confidence. A large crowd near
the centre of the paddock told of some more than ordinary
attraction, and we strolled there to find Matthew Dawson’s
quartet doing a walk round. Atlantic headed them, but, though
he looked in jierfcct condition, wc were not favourably im¬
pressed with him. There is far too much daylight under
him, and his swollen knee gave evidence of his fractious
behaviour on the journey down. Aquilo is, on the
whole, a better-looking horse ; and Trent, though small, is
compact and beautifully proportioned. Leolinus, however,
secured the chief share of popular admiration. He appeared
to have great substance and power; hut, as we did not sec him
without his clothes, we cannot give a critical description of him
Glenalmond had also a large attendance of admirers. Ho is a
beautifully-shaped, very blood like colt, and hi3 condition was
perfect; hut he struck us as being a trifle short, and lacks tli9
size that one expects to find in a Derby winner. Tipster was
also very tit; but his want of quality prevented his making
njany friends. Couronne de Fer pleased us immensely, for,
though he has not grown much since last season, the import
that he was very leggy proved totally unfounded. Sister to
Ryshworth is a racing-like filly ; and we have little to say of
the remainder.

A capital start was effected at the second attempt, King < f
Tyne and Volturno at once showing in front. After going a*
quarter of a mile Tipster took the lead ; but at the mile post
the above-named pair again passed him, and Ecossais went into
third place. Nearly the same order was maintained down the
hill; but as soon as they entered the straight Custance sent
George Frederick along and took up the running, Couronne de
Fer and Rostrevor being his immediate attendants. Nothing,
however, had the least chance with Mr. Cartwright’s horse,
who, passing the Tattersalls inclosure, c&mc right away, and
won in a canter by two lengths from Couronne de Fer. Atlantic
finished very strongly, and was only beaten a neck for second
place, being tho same distance in front of Leolinus, nearly in a
line with whom were Trent, Aquilo, and Rostrevor,
the quartet being just clear of Mr. Savile’s filly.
All the rest were beaten a long way, Reverberation,
who broke down, being about last. Custance thus won
his third Derby, and it was clear that the best horse
In the Heath House stable had been Bold, for we doubt if
Atlantic’s accident affected his running. Ecossais looked very
formidable for about a mile ; and Glenalmond wa3 the only one
of the favourites who thoroughly disgraced himself, for he
stayed no better than the majority of the Blair Athols, and,
moreover, could never go the pace. George Frederick’s ante-
eedents are not those of a Derby winner ; but it i3 clear that
Mr. Cartwright has laid himself out solely for this race, and
the horse has never previously been fit to run. The defeat of
Lady Glenorchy in tlie Stanley Stakes by Pope Joan -was the
only noticeable feature in the minor races of the day. There
was, however, a scrimmage at the start J‘ which gave the winner
a lead of a couple of lengths, and her jockey took full advantage
of it.

The Epsom Meeting naturally occupies so much of our space
that the other events of the week must be treated very briefly.
Cricketers ate now hard at work all over England, and several
very import ant matches have been played during the past few
days. The M. C. C. have beaten Oxford University by forty
runs, after an cxeitiDg contest, the result being mainly due to
the fine Batting of Sir. G. F. Crook, who scored 52 in his
second innings. Cambridge University v. Surrey was drawn,
the scoring being so heavy that three days proved insufficient
to complete it. For Surrey, Jupp (G6 and 69), Mr. Weeding
(20 and $2), R. Humphrey (32 and 52), and Pooloy (not out, 20
and 97) did best; while Mr. W. S. Patterson (86) was top score
for his University. The match between tho Gentlemen of
England and Cambridge University produced a wonderfully
close finish, the latter pulling it off by one wicket. The
Gentlemen had not the assistance of Mr. W. G. Grace ; but
Messrs. 1. D. Walker (57) and E. R. Pryor (46) batted well,
as did Messrs. G. Mncan (35), H. iL Sims (46), and C.
Tillard (46), on the opposite side. Mr, W. G. Grace
played for the M.C.O. against the North of England. The
champion, however, did not “come off” quite as well fas
nsnal, though his 43 was the highest score on his side, and the
club succumbed by forty-five runs, in spite of the magnificent
bc.wliug of A. Shaw, who took all ten of the northern wickets
in the first innings. The Ashantee Division played a Twelve
of the Household Brigade at Prince’s on Tuesday; but their

cricketing powers are by no means equal to their fighting
capabilities, and they suffered an easy defeat.

The eleventh annual athletic meeting of tho Civil Service
took place at Lillie-bridge on Saturday last, in the presence of
about 8000 spectators. The best performance of the afternoon
was unquestionably that of Walter Slade, amateur champion at
one ana four miles, who won the open mile handicap from
scratch, doing the full distance in the unprecedented time for
an amateur of 4 min. 26 see. The most successful competitors
in the closed races were G. F. Griffin (Post Office) and J. II. A.
Eeav (Inland Revenue). The former won the 220-yards
challenge cup, the 300-yards handicap, and the quarter, aud
the latter took the hurdle-race for the third successive year,
and the broad jump.

In a professional three-mile ’walking-match at Lillie-bridge,
on Monday last, R. Perkins beat J. Stockwell (the champion),
covering one mile in 6min. 23 sec., two in 13 min. 28.1 sec., and
three in 20min. 46 sec., the times for each mile being th8
fastest on record.

John Roberts, jun,, played 1000 up even against Joseph
Bennett, on Monday evening last, for £100 a side. It was a
very hollow affair ; for Roberts, who was in capital form, made
a break of 140 (21 spots) and won by 432 points. Bennett
seemed completely out of play, and 68 was his largest
contribution.

THE MAGAZINES FOR JUNE.

The Corn hill has an interesting paper on Dr. Sehlicm aim’s dis¬
coveries in the Troad, evidently the production of some ono of
considerable local knowledge, but dealing, we regret to say, in
an ungenerous spirit with the labours of the soh-taught
archaeologist, whose eccentricities are too palpable to be harm¬
ful, and whose discoveries are a standing reproach to all who
have hitherto preferred theorising to practical exploration. It
is even insinuated that the ornaments found by Dr. Schliemann
may be of recent date, although they are admitted to have been
discovered many feet under Greek remains older than the time
of the Ccesars. We can no more understand how forgeries
should have got there than how the name of New Troy, given
to the Greek colony, should prove the site as well as the city
to have been a new one. Such instances as New Carthage and
New Sarum are not to the point, as these were built while the
parent cities were still in existence. One good suggestion the
article does contaiu, that the presumed site of tho Grecian camp
should likewise be excavated. There is not much else of mark
in the number; but “A Bye Day in the Alps” is very
pleasantly written, and “ Dreams ” contains some striking
anecdotes of prophetic visions. Thackeray’s recently dis¬
ci )ver. 2 d lines on Frederick the Great’s father are a charac-
t iristic specimen of his style, though not remarkable as regards
m *tter.

Macmillan is unusually good, having no fewer than live
re lly important contributions. Mr. Freeman, an authority on
ar hitecture, traces the outgrowth of the Romanesque or Byz.an-
t i stylo from the original Roman discovery of the arch, made
in the regal period, but long kept in abeyance from tho influence
of the Greek style. Mr. Wedmore’s essay on celebrated masters
in etching, especially Rembrandt, is an equally interesting con¬
tribution to a minor brauch of art-criticism. Mr. Lecky vindi¬
cates the Irish Parliament of 17S2-9S against Mr. Fronde, but,
though impressive in his rebuke of tlie latter’s extravagances,
fails to show that this Legislature accomplished anyfchmg for
the country. Mr. Goldwin Smith’s argument against female
suffrage is temperate and masterly. A scheme for the abolition
of the sale of livings i3 exceedingly well intended; but the
writer is mistaken if he thinks that the momentum essential to
bo great a change can be created otherwise than by an uncon¬
ditional transfer of the patronage to the parishioners at large.

There is nothing very remarkable in Fraser, which has,
nevt rtheless, a number of fairly interesting papers. The most
weighty is a severe indictment of Turkey for her bad financial
a Iministration, with a prophecy of her speedy conquest by
iier powerful neighbour. The writer has eyes for only one
side of his subject, and ignores the fervour of religious zeal
which such a contest would call iuto activity, and which—as
tho Dutch are discovering to their cost in Acheen—goes a loujZ
way to supply the absence of every other source of national
vigour. A writer on “The Political Cousequences of Army
Reform ” anticipates that tho effect of the short-service system
will be to leaven the working classes with a strong Conserva¬
tive element from the re-absorption of discharged soldiers.
Equally ingenious reasons might be produced in support of a
diametrically opposite conclusion ; but, in fact, it^ seems
doubtful whether tho discharged soldiers will be sufficiently
numeious to produce any appreciable effect either way.
“ Sussex Cottages” and “Things We have Eaten ” are excel¬
lent fight papers ; and Mr. Savers summary of recent Assyrian
d scovery will be found valuable.

gy “ Alice Lorraine ” continues to be the most attractive feature
oi Blackwood , which is, however, very readable throughout.
A review of Victor Hugo’s last work is written in a fine spirit
of appreciation. “ Poets at Play ” enshrines some capital speci¬
mens of occasional verse ; and, although tho story of the recent
changes in Japan has been often told before, it is told exceed¬
ingly well.

Tlie Fortnightly has a very important paper by Mr. Cliffe
Leslie, treating of the enormous rise in wages which has been
taking place over the Continent while the price of agricultural
labour has remained so nearly stationary in England, and of
other anomalies puzzling to political economists. The question,
as it affects ourselves, is briefly discussed by Mr. R. Jefferies,
whose view of the labourers’ prospect of success in the pending
struggle is not an encouraging one. In the second part of his
essay on “ Compromise,” Mr. Morley dwells eloquently on the
mischief of neglecting to investigate principles of action on the
ground of the time not having yet arrived for their practical
application. Karl Hildebrand contributes the firat part of a
{spirited sketch of Winkelmann, and Mr. Wallace concludes
his defence of spiritualism. We fear that tho prestige of this
eminent naturalist's name will be the chief advantage the
spiritualists will derive from liis advocacy : it would be impos¬
sible to imagine anything looser than his notions of evidence,
or more careless than his scrutiny of the stories which he
dignifies by that title.

Mr. Gladstone’s essay on Homer’s place in history in the
Contemporary is a much more valuable contribution to the
study of Homer than his translations. After discussing the
identity with Troy of the remains discovered by Dr. Schlie-
mann, to which he inclines without expressing an absolute
conviction, he directs his argument to the period of Homer,
endeavouring to establish from the evidence of Egyptian
inscriptions that the destruction of Troy cannot have taken
place later than the end of the fourteenth century b.g.,
and from the employment of the term Achaeans that Homer
cannot have written long after that date. The evidence for
both propositions appears to us at present insufficient, but
they arc discussed with admirable spirit and ingenuity. By
appearing in the character of Cassandra Mr. W. R. Greg inti¬
mates a distrust of his countrymen’s common sense which really

seems uncalled for, considering that he has this time no nioro
disputable proposition to enunciate than that our manufacturing
supremacy must some clay como to an end. Mr. Davies’s review
of Lord Lyttou’s fables is very agreeable reading, and Mr.
Eowscll’s list of ancient sinecure places even more so—now that
wc have got rid of them. Archbishop Manning’s reply to Mr.
Fitzjames Stephen is very feminine in its logic, and not very
honest in its vindication of the Roman Church against tho
charge of persecution. Dr. Manning knows very well that tho
charge against his Church is not that she anathematised religious
toleration three centuries ago, but that she does so still.

The Gentleman's Magazine, puts forth a remarkably attrac¬
tive number. Mr. FranciUon’s “ Olympia ” is as interesting as
ever; “An Emigration Sketch” is full of humour ; and tho
criticism on tho recent autumnal manceuyres is evidently tho
work of an impartial writer, addicted neither to compliment
nor to fault finding. Some of the eccentricities of the House of
Commons are well hit off in the sketch of the independent
members. Judging from the specimen of Mr. Buchanan’s
“Last Foot ” with which wo are favoured, the predicted ex¬
tinction of tlie species will bo a subject for profound congratu¬
lation.

The most remarkable among the Transatlantic s appropria¬
tions is Senator Schurz’s fine oration on Charles Sumner.
Scribner's Monthly is good, especially for the article on
the present condition of South Carolina. Old and New
does not shine as a repertory of indigenous talent, but
makes a respectable appearance with imported contributions
from Anthony Trollope, Turgueneff, and the Rev. Jame3
Martineau.

The Month somehow does not improve under its present
accomplished editor, aud contains nothing of interest except
a notice of M. d’ldeville’a graphic reminiscences of the occu¬
pation of Rome by the Italian forces. The transaction was
certainly humiliating to France, and should serve as a lesson to
her not again to occupy a position from which it is so difficult
to devise a dignified exit.

We have specially to note in Belgravia Mr. Sala’s clever
exaggeration of Thackeray’s manner in his “ Vjmus de Medici’s
Marriage in Tinsley the continuation of “ Limey Rochford
aiulin London Society that of Mr. O’Shauehnessy's “Portraits
Charmants.” We have also to acknowledge Good Words, All
the Year Round, the Monthly Packet, the New' M on till}', tho
St. James’s Magazine, Good Things, Aunt Judy, the Victoria
Magazine, the Popular Science Review, the Sunday Magazine,
Cassell’s Magazine, and a number of parts of serial publications
from the enterprising publishers of the latter periodical.

LAW AND POLICE.

Vice-Chancellor Malins has adjourned an application to
restrain the performance of “ Vert Vert,” at St. James’s. Tho
applicants were Messrs. Boosoy and Son, the music publishers,
who claimed to have purchased the copyright from M.
Offenbach in 1869, a few days after it was brought out at the
Tlieatro Imperial. On an agreement to lot the application
stand over the defendant undertook to pay, as the Court might
direct, three guineas for each performance in tlie interim.

The appeal case of “Roberts v. Eger ton,” which came
Before the Court of Queen’s Bench last Saturday, raised an
important question on the Adulteration Act—whether tho salo
of an article, as tea, which is adulterated can be excused on
the ground that it is known to he so in “the trade.” On
behalf of the appellant, who had been convicted of selling
green tea, faced with gypsum and Prussian blue, it w T as con¬
tended that he had sold, just as he bought it, what was known
as green tea in the trade ; but the Lord Chief Justice, Mr.
Justice Blackburn, and Mr. Justice Archibald concurred in
thinking that the article was adulterated, although Mr. Justice
Quain dissented. The conviction was accordingly affirmed.

Liabilities of £900,000 were stated on Wednesday in tho
case of Oppenheim and Schrmlcr, in the Bankruptcy Court, the
assets being roughly estimated at £700,000 or £800,000.

Mr. Jacobs, the German jeweller who sued Sir Robert
Carden for £20,000 damages for false imprisonment, has been
summoned at Bow-street m a matter of 12s. He had purchased
a lot of waistcoats from a man, and wished to settle the claim
by reading to him from various Acts of Parliament. A police¬
man having sent them to the station to arrange their dispute,
Mr. Jacobs renewed his recitations from the statutes. Ulti¬
mately he was induced to pay the 12s., but next morning ho
repented, and wished to serve a writ on the inspector. When
the magistrate declined to give him a warraut he threatened
him with proceedings. Afterwards, the usher of the court
incurred his vengeance by having to remove him from the court.

At Marlborough-street, on Wednesday, a man was pro¬
secuted by the guardians of St. Paneras for having neglected
to provide Ida daughter with, proper food and raiment, whereby
her life was endangered. He was Bent to prison for four
months, with hard labour. At Worship-street, in a similar
case, a man and woman were committed for trial.

Mr. Edward Welby Pugin, the well-known architect,
appeared on Tuesday at the Westminster Police Court, charged
on a summons with having published false and defamatory
libels upon Mr. John Rogers Herbert, R.A. The letters com¬
plained of had been addressed, two to Mrs. Herbert, one to
Mr. Ryan, a solicitor, and several to Mr. Herbert himself, the
cause of Mr. Pugin’s annoyance being some legal proceedings
pending between him and the prosecutor. The magistrate
decided upon sending the case for trial, accepting two sureties.

Gustavo Bernard Cennovich, a Pole, whose extraordinary
behaviour at the house of Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar, in
Portland-place, caused some excitement on Monday, was
charged, on Tuesday, at Bow-street, with being a person of
unsound mind, wandering about to the public danger. The man,
who is known to the police as a lunatic, has invented a shooting-
machine, which he was anxious to bring under the notice of
Mr. Disraeli and the Commander-in-Chief. Failing access to
them, he thought to gain the car of Prince Edward of Saxe-
Weimar by exploding his blunderbuss in front of tho Prince’s
house. After evidence had been heard as to his erratic pro¬
ceedings in Portland-place, he was remanded for inquiry.

Two police-constables were among the delinquents at tlie
police-courts yesterday week. At Westminster Archibald
Small was fined £4 for getting drunk while on duty, aud at
Marylebone George Poole had to pay £5 for threatening a
sergeant who had reported him for gossiping on his beat.

For stealing a watch from a person named Solomon Apple,
Henry Evans was, in spite of his defence to the effect that his
hand had come accidentally in contact with the prosecutor’s
watch-chain, found guilty at the Middlesex Sessions yosterday
week, and, several previous convictions being proved against
him, sentenced to seven years’ penal servitude and five years*
police supervision.

Tlie opening cruise of the Royal Ulster Yacht Club took
place, last Saturday, in Belfast Loch.

GENERAL BIIUTE, M.P. FOR BRIGHTON.

MR. ASHBURY. M.P. FOR BRIGHTON.

THE MEMBERS FOR BRIGHTON.

The late general Parliamentary election deprived Brighton and
the kingdom, for a time, of the services of two venr good
Literal representatives. But Mr. White and Mr. Fawcett
have long been known to the whole community of Liberal
politicians throughout Great Britain. Mr. Ashbury and
General Shute. who have gained their seats, were known in
other than political circles. The former is an active and
influential man of business, a manufacturing engineer, and a
famous yachtsman. The other is a military officer of dis¬
tinction. who has served in Tndia and the Crimea.

Mr. James Lloyd Ashbury, who was horn in 1834, is only
son of the late Mr. John Ashbury, of Manchester, founder and
proprietor of the great manufactory of railway rolling-stock at

Openshaw. That establishment, the largest of its kind, covers
twelve aerfes of ground, and employs 2000 hands. The member
for Brighton, leaving Huddersfield College at sixteen years of
age, underwent a thorough practical training in the work and
business of his father’s concern. In 1859 he went to Russia, and
lived there two years, representing his father as contractor for the
construction of the Riga and Diinaburg railway. He has since
been engaged in railway business in Turkey and Egypt, Italy
and Spain; from the Spanish Government he has received the
orders of Charles III. and Isabella II. His father partially •
retired in 1862, and died in 1866. The firm wa9 converted into
a joint-stock company, the “Ashbury Rail way-Carriage and
Iron Company/* with limited liability, of which Mr. James
Ashbury is managing chairman. Ho was at one time a director
of the firm of Sir John Brown and Co., of Sheffield, the '

armour-plate manufacturers, employing 4000 men ; also director
of the Carnforth Iron Company, in Cumberland ; the Norton
Iron Company of Durham, the Brecon and Merthyr Railway, the
Hereford and Brecon Railway, and four or five other companies.
Several of these appointments he has relinquished, but he still
retains the office of chairmanof the Denbigh, Ruthin, andCorwen
Railway, director of the Smyrna and Cassaba Railway, and
two or three others. In addition to these business engage¬
ments, Mr. Ashbury is a member of the Institution of Civil
Engineers and the Institute of Mechanical Engineers. He
takes much interest in scientific education, as he showed by a
gift of £4000 to Owens College , Manchester. In 1867 Air.
Ashbury resorted to yachting as a recreation for the benefit of
bis health. He built the famous Cambria, which in 1868 beat
' the American champion yacht Sappho, hut was defeated by

that yacht, under diflerent conditions, in 1870. Mr. Ashbury
then accepted the challenge of Mr. James Gordon Bennett,
jun., of New York, to race his Dauntless across the Atlantic.
The Cambria, after a stormy sail of twenty-three days, won
this grand race by an hour and a half. Mr. Ashbury, in 1870,
was chosen commodore of the Royal Harwich Yacht Club,
and, this year, of the Royal London Yacht Club, but he has
arted with the Cambria to another owner. He was a candi-
ate for Brighton in 1868, but did not then succeed. His
majority of votes over both the Liberal candidates upon this
last occasion was above a thousand. Mr. Ashbury is unmarried.

The second member for Brighton is Major-General Charles
Cameron Shute, C.B. He is eldest son of the lata Mr. Thomas
Deane Shiite, of Bramshaw-hill, Hampshire, by Charlotte,
daughter of the late General Neville Cameron, of the East
India Company’s service, and was bom about the year 1817.
He was educated at Winchester College. He entered the
Army in 1884 as Cornet in the 13th Hussars, with which regi¬
ment he served with distinction in India ; he also served with
the 6th (lnniskilling) Dragoons in the Crimean campaign, where

he was Assistant Adjutant-General of the Cavalry Division.
He became a Colonel in 1858, and was in command of the
Inniskilling3, and subsequently of the 4th Light Dragoons,
previous to attaining field rank in 1871. He is also a Knight
of the Legion of Honour, and bears the Turkish medal and the
Order of the Medjidie. General Shute, who is a magistrate
for Sussex, and honorary Colonel of the Sussex Rifle Volun¬
teers, now enters Parliament for the first time. He married,
in 1858, Rhoda, daughter of the Rev. H. T. Dowler.

The Portrait of Mr. Ashbury is from a photograph by
Messrs. W. and A. H. Fry, of Brighton ; that of General
Shute, from one by Messrs. Lock and Whitfield.

ST. STEPHEN'S CHURCH, VIENNA.

Every tourist who has been in a Continental Roman Catholic
city on the Thursday after Trinity Sunday knows the procession
that is customary in honour of the ecclesiastical festival of
Corpus Christi, which in France is commonly called the F£te
Dieu. This scene is represented in our Engraving as it took

place last year, during the Vienna Great Exhibition, before S
Stephen’s Church. We prefer here to comment less upon th
religious ceremonial, than upon the stately edifice with whos
ministry it is connected, and which is ono of the grander
features of the Austrian capital. St. Stephen's Church \\ t
built by the Dukes of the old Hapsburg line in the fourteent
century, but has been completely restored, in the correct sty]
of Gothic antiquarianism, within the last twenty years. 11
graceful steeple rises to the vast height of 436 ft. The Riessei
thor, or Giants Door, and the Heidenthurme, which meat
Towers of the Heathen, with profuse decorations of sculpture
attract the spectator’s notice outside the church. The interio
of which Mr. S. Read’s artistic pencil has given some interes
ing views, presents several halls beneath the towers, tho nav

chapels, and nearly forty altars. The ascent of the lofty towe]

THE

SCREW STEAM SHIP DURHAM

The well-known line of steam-ship3, designed
expressly for the passenger trade to Australia,
belonging to Messrs. Money Wigram and Sons,
of Black'wall-yard, has received an important
addition. The Durham is another of those
magnificent examples of the commercial marine
of this country which so materially contribute
to maintain our precedence amongst the man¬
time nations of the world. The Durham is
a sister ship of the Northumberland, whose
dimensions she slightly exceeds. The length
of this vessel, over all, is 305 ft., the breadth
39 ft., and depth 20 ft. 9 in. The burden is
2000 tons. Her keel was laid twelve months
since, and her prompt completion within so
short a time has been due to the employment
of a small army of artificers resident in Poplar
and its neighbourhood. Messrs. Wigram have
now a regular bi-monthly line of steamers, via
the Cape of Good Hope, by which the annoy¬
ances of the Suez Canal route are avoided,
while the length of the voyage is reduced to
little more than fifty days. The passenger
accommodation in these ships is unsurpassed,
and each vessel carries a fully qualified inedioal
man. The Durham, of which we give an Illus¬
tration, is fitted with engines of 300 nominal
horse power (1500 indicated), having compound
cylinders and superheating apparatus, by
Messrs. Humplireys and Tennant. She is an¬
nounced to sail on her first voyage on July 20.
The Durham was launched on the 16th ult.,
and was christened, in the presence of a large
party, by Miss Gertrude Wigram, daughter of
Air. Money Wigram, elder brother of the family.
The command of this vessel has been intrusted
to Captain Frederick Anderson, late of the
Yorkanire, who has been in the service of the
owners more than thirty yeare. It is understood
that Messrs. Wigram contemplate making a con¬
siderable increase to the number of their Aus¬
tralian steam-fleet at an early date.

“ EXPECTATION.”

This picture by Mr. Israels, in the exhibition
of the Royal Academy, might at first sight he
taken to represent a faithful home-staying wife
and mother, awaiting the return of him upon
whose conduct abroad dopends the peace aud
comfort of their ? modest household. But a
second glance and further consideration will
reveal a different situation, which has not less
interest or claim upon our feeling3 of tender
and respectful sympathy for the experiences of
virtuous womanhood. The cradle is as yet
empty, and the little cap which she is making
will fit a head unborn. Such is her s ee
and sacred “expectation.” Lot up hope, too,
that Ae, of whom we see and know nothing
either good or bad, cherishes in manly lo/j
and tho cheerful spirit of willing duty nis
share of the blessed burden soon to come upon
them. In any case, the artist has earned such
commendation as is due to a sinoere effort to
depict, with simple grace and truth of ex
pression, one of the main features of human
life. The figure is that of a Dutch fisherman’s
wife at Schcvcningen.

THE CHALLENGER IN ICE AND
SNOW.

We present two more Illustrations of the
voyage of H.M.S. Challenger in tho gieat
Southern Ocean, beyond the Indian Uvean
towards the Antarctic. Our readers have been
informed of the objects, personal appoint¬
ments, and equipment of this expedition, whii h
set forth a year and a half ago, to conduct a
scries of scientific explorations. Kerguelen
Land, the intended astronomical station in the
far south to observe the transit of Venus over
the sun's apparent disk in December next, was
described last week, with our Illustrations
supplied by one of the Challenger’s party.
We are now indebted to another, Lieutenant
Pelham Aldrich, R.N., for two sketches of the
ship encountering ice-drifts and snowstorm, in
the middle of February last. During about
fourteen days, between the 64th aud 53rd
degrees of S. latitude, and in longitude from
SO deg. E. to 110 deg,, before making for an
Australian port, the Challenger was much
hampered with pack ice, loose lloating pieces,
and sometimes large icebergs. In the 'view
looking southward, wliich shows the ship
passing eastward through loose ice, the horizou
is hounded by the line of fixed pack ice, with
several enormous icebergs, clearly marked
against tho blue sky. The storm of sleet and
euow, on Feb. 24, which is represented in the
other sketch, was so thick that nothing farther
than 150 yards could bo seen. Icebergs on the
lee beam were closely approached that after¬
noon, when, the gale being too strong to put
the ship about, head to wind, the full steam
power was used to drive her astern, with
the aid of the forestaysail, and part of the
close-reefed maintopsail, set back. The Chal¬
lenger happily escaped from this perilous region
in a few days, and arrived on March 17 safely at
Melbourne.

ANCIENT RIVER FORTH CANOE.

On the afternoon of the 12th ult. an ancient
canoe, which had been discovered in the mud
and gravel of the river Forth, at Stirling, near
the old ferry at Cambuskenneth Abbey, was
dug out and towed ashore. Tho boat, which
seems to have been 20 ft. long by 3 ft. wide,
is cut from one piece of solid oak trunk!
Tradition says that a boat coming from a feast
at the Abbey, in 1529, with fifty persons cross¬
ing the ferry, was by overloading capsized ;
and this may be the one. It certainly lias tho
look of greater antiquity; but must have been

used in later times, as it bears tracing of patch¬
ing, with iron nails of a make common in the
sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The
cauoe is to be k cleaned and preserved, and
placed in tho Smith Institute, at Sterling. A
sketch by our esteemed correspondent, Captain
H. G. Robley, of the 91st Highlanders, now at
Stirling Castle, shows the spot in the river
where it was dug out, as marked by the stout
ferry-girl in her boat, who has conveyed him
over. In the distance is seen the Abbey Crag,
which is the scarped cliff embowered in its trees,
bearing on its summit the monument lately
erected to the memory of Sir William Wallace.
The height of this tower is 220 ft., and the
crag being 300 ft., there is a view from the top,
one of the grandest in the world, embracing
the scenes of the greatest battles in Scottish
history. The villages of Bridge of Allan and
Causeway head appear in the distance.

WATCHES.

It 1* not g enerally known that the largest and most sruccowful
Watch Factory in tho World It located in America. Yet stun U
the case. The American Watch Company, whose Works are at
Waltham. Massachusetts. U.8.A., now manufacture over out hundred
thou*and Watches annually, ami all of most excellent utuvlUy. This
Company bus breu in operation about twenty yearn, and In that time
Iia* made End «old about eight hundred thousand NV At^hca* lu
America Waltham Watchaa are regarded aa standard timo-kaepo *♦
and are universally used on nil tb* numerous railway lino* through-
cut .the country. The American Watch Company was tlis flist to
apply machinery to all the details of watch-making, and Jins
brought thu system to great perfection. Probably no liner m*-
channu exists than that in tlie machines u»ed at Wnltham, ami
every t art of tho watch is produced with ayotetuntlc exactness. At a
result, every movement ox the same grade is precisely alike, and ail
tho part* are interchangeable. Waltham Watches, a* they aro pnpu-

M ERICAN

WATCHES.

The theory of the Machine-Made Waltham Watch has always be*n
impregnable. The hand-made watch woe beet ft* long as machinery
was imperfect, but good watches made by hand iron'always hijh-
prlred, while low-prictd watches wore a’most worthless. Tho ap-
plication of perfected machinery «Jt8;K»*wl of both of toeve draw¬
back a It cht»p*ned the co»t of the higher gnules axs*l Improred
the quality of the lower, and thus for tho first time brought good
time-keepers within tho reach of ail.

M E R I 0 A N

WATCHES.

The experimental period of the xunchine-mftde watch is now in
the past. There were difllcultJae to surmount, prejudicesi to over¬
come. The attainment of requisite perfection in much hurry-ui--
rolved long delays. The Waltham Watch is now, however, an
established success. American enterprise amt skill have proved
their ability to compete with tho finest workiuiuahly of hand Labour
in the Old World.

M E R I 0 A N

WATCHES.

More points of excellence are claimed for Waltham Watehrn than
are; found in those of any other manufacture. Every improvement
has been adopted that ixpexieuce haa ’shown to be desirable, and uo
pains or *x;iense spared in constrooting machines to produce
watches which are perfect even in their most insignificant parts.

M E R I C A N

WATCHES.

The Interchangeable system in which Waltham Watches are
made is worthy of careful attention, and deserves some explanation.
Every put of the watch Is made to an exact gauge, and any part of
one watch is exactly like the same part in another; and if ten
watches of one grade were taken apart, and the screws, wheels,
springs, 4c., mixed together, teu perfect watches could bo made by
putting these porta together again without any reference to their
firmer combination. This is a grant advantage ; for if any port of
a Waltham Watch is injured, it can readily be replaced, and at a

AMERICAN WATCHES.

This rame principle applies to fitting the movements in the cases;
a told or silver case made for one Waltham movement will fit any
other movement of the {saruelgrade— not nearly fit it. but exactly,
without any variation or adjustment whatever. Of course, thii
perfect telation of all tbc numerous parts of so delicate a piece of
xncthanhm as a watch could never be attained by hand labour. It
is only possible whore machines are used which finish acme parts of
the watch to n gauge which shows a variation of the tan-thousandth
pari of an inch.

Ti c Waltham Watch runs with the greatest accuracy, and its sub¬
stantial construction wtllcoxumeud it to all who appreciate a really
good article. The longer it ia worn tho more it is liked, and the
facility with which, in case of accident, it is repaired obviates an
objection which l* felt towards other watches In price, comparing
quality with quality. It is the best for the money in the market, and
in intrinsic cheapness (that is, estimating price according to value)
the Waltham Watch has no competitor.

been made in the art of watchmaking, and correctly dMcribes one

The ever-increasing musical culture In all classee of society has
created a demand for free r«ed instruments of a superior quality
to tbnee hitherto manuf clurml.

The instruments now offered to the public will be found divested
of all that has hitherto been considered objectionable as regard*
tone This end has been obtained by u«iug a lancer and thicker
tongue, and a new system of voicing, which render the quality
rich and organ-like

Another advantage in the new system Is the increased strength
of the reeds, and diminished liability to go out of tune by forcing
the bellow*.

The new system Is applied to all the large instruments with still
greater effect, and without extra cost.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS. June 6, 1874. — 641

Foreign Postage.

THE LATE M. VAN DE WEYER, FORMERLY BELGIAN MINISTER IN LONDON

The death of this accomplished Belgian gentleman, who had lived
in London forty-three years, and had married an English lady,
was recorded some days ago. M. Sylvain Van de Weyer was
seventy*two years of age. He was was the son of a lawyer,
who held a Government office at Amsterdam, where the subject
of this notice was born, under the French Republic and Empire.
The kingdom of the Netherlands, founded on the fall of

Napoleon, and including both Holland and Belgium, was scarcely
more acceptable to Belgian patriotism. It was overthrown by
the Revolution of 1830. Van de Weyer, then an advocate and
journalist at Brussels, was one of five delegates who repre¬
sented the grievances of Belgium to the Dutch King. The dis¬
pute came to an armed struggle, in which the Belgians were
aided by France. The British Government, under the Duke of

Wellington’s and Lord Palmerston’s Administrations, consented
to the Belgians forming an independent kingdom. Van de
Weyer was engaged in negotiating for this object, and in 1830
became Belgian Minister, which post he retained till 1867. He
was a great scholar and collector of books. Two volumes of his
essays have been published. The portrait of M. Van de Weyer
is from a photograph by Messrs. Hills and Saunders, of Eton.

OPENING OF A NEW BRIDGE AT HUDDERSFIELD,

SWTMMING-BATH OF THE TRAINING-SHIP INDEFATIGABLE AT LIVERPOOL.

542

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS

JUNE 6, 1874

NEW BRIDGE AT HUDDERSFIELD.

This nourishing town of the West Riding of Yorkshire, with
its great woollen manufacture, has grown rich enough for orna¬
mental as well as useful public works. Its buildings are con¬
structed to good advantage of the fine light brown stone which
abounds in the district; the streets are well planned, and there
is an air of handsome prosperity about the place. The new
bridge at Aspley, over tne river Colne, which was opened on
Monday week, is called Somerset Bridge, in honour of Lady
Guendolen Ramsden, wife of Sir John Ramsden, Bart., late an
Under-Secretary of State, and chief landowner at Huddersfield.
This lady is a daugiterof the Duke of Somerset. The bridge was
formally declared to be opened by Lady Guendolen, accom¬
panied by her husband, at the request of the Mayor, Mr. H.
Brooke. A christening ceremony was performed by her break¬
ing a bottle of ch&mpague against the bridge wall. There was
afterwards a banquet given by the Mayor at the George Hotel.
The cost of the new bridge is £12,000, partly borne by a grant
from the County Sessions and partly by subscription, but the
greater part by the Town Corporation. It was commenced in
September, 1872, when Alderman Mellor was Mayor. The de¬
signer w T as Mr. J. H. Abbey, borough surveyor ; Messrs. Abraham
Graham and Sons were the contractors, who executed the work.
The bridge has a span of 70 ft. Its width is 50 ft., and it is
25 ft. above the river. Our Illustration is supplied by Mr.
Reginald Spurr, photographer.

A SHIP SCHOOL SWIMMING-BATH.

The Liverpool training-ship Indefatigable, in the Mersey, for
the education of sailors' orphan sons and others, has now a
floating bath connected with it, in which the boys learn to
swim. This structure was designed by Mr. W. R. M‘Kaig,
engineer, and Mr. J. Carlton Stiff, it was made at the Windsor
Ironworks, Garston. Its form and plan are shown in our
Illustration. The permanent moorings w r ere provided by a
donation from Mr. Albert Wood. Captain Gardner, an active
member of the executive committee of supporters of the Inde¬
fatigable training-ship, * superintended the construction. It
seems to answer its purpose very well. It is an iron cellular
structure, the pontoons or compartments of which are so
arranged as to inclose a space 50 ft. long by 20 ft. broad, which
forma the water area. The depth at the shallow end is 3 ft. 6 in.,
but at the deep end it can be regulated from 3ft. Gin. to
G ft. 6 in., by means of an adjustable bottom or tray, hinged at
one end and supported by chains at the other. The lifting
power is supplied by two small worm-wheel and pinion
apparatus. The bath is moored at one end, and swings with
the tide. The water, entering at the deep end, passes out at
the shallow ; so that, as the bath is open to the sky, one may
enjoy all the benefits of sea-bathing combined with the safety
and comfort of an ordinary public plunge-bath.

MUSIC.

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.

The closing performances of last week, following those already
noticed, were repetitions of ‘ ‘ Lucia di Lammerraoor” on
Thursday ; “II Barbiere di Siviglia” on Friday ; and “Faust”
on Saturday, with Mdlle. Marimon as Margherita for the first
time at this establishment, the ddbut of Mdlle. Calasch as
Siebel, and M. Faure again in the part of Mefistofele, other
features of the cast having been the same as recently. The
performances of Mdlle. Marimon and M. Faure displayed all
those high merits which have before been commented on. Of
the debutante we prefer to speak after her second appearance,
hor extreme nervousness on Saturday having almost over¬
powered her self-possession. Nevertheless, she was consider¬
ably applauded after the song in the garden scene, “ Le parlate
d’amor.

The programme for this week consisted entirely of operas
repeated as previously given—“Don Giovanni” on Monday,
“ Rigoletto ” on Tuesday, “ Dinorah ” on Thursday, “ Gugiielmo
Tell” on Friday, and “La Sonnambula” on Saturday, with
the debut of Signor Piazza.

The third of this year s concerts at the Floral Hall, on Satur¬
day afternoon, again drew a large attendance. Among the
many features of interest the most special were the brilliant
performances of Madame Adelina Patti and Mdlle. Albani.

HER MAJESTY’S OPERA.

Pending the production of Balfes “II Talismano,” fresh
interest was given to the proceedings of this establishment by
the reappearance, on Saturday, of Madame Christine Nilsson,
whose return took place in one of those charming performances
which have for some seasons been specially identified with her
name. Margherita, in “Faust,” was the second character in
which this artist became known to the English public, her
d^but here (in 1867) having been made as Violetta, in “La
Traviata.” Again, on Saturday, Mdlle. Nilsson’s Margherita
displayed its wonted charm, with an enhanced degree of
dramatic power and pathetic intensity. In the dreamy ballad
founded on the legend of the King of Thule, in the bravura
“ jewel song * (encored), in the exquisite sentiment of the love
music in the garden scene, in the despair, remorse, and peni¬
tence of the last two acts—in all these varied situations the
performance of this great artist was alike admirable, and her
reception was of the most enthusiastic kind. The cast of the
opera in other respects was that noticed a few weeks ago.

On Monday “Marta” was repeated, with the second
appearance of Mdlle. Singelli in the character of Lady
Enrichetta, in which she achieved a decided success on the
previous Thursday. Another change in the cast was the
Plumketto of Herr Behrens, whose ponderous bass voice gave
resonant effect to the song in praise of beer. On Monday
Signor Fancelli resumed the part of Lionello; and other
characters were filled as in earlier performances.

On Tuesday “Faust” was given again, with the second
appearance this season of Madame Christine Nilsson as
Margherita. For Thursday “ Les Huguenots ” was announced,
with the d^but of M. Achard as Raoul.

At the first of her two recitals (last week) Madame Annette
Essipoff gave ample proof of the extent and versatility of her
powers by the performance of a selection of unaccompanied
pianoforte music of the most opposite styles. Of her mag¬
nificent bravura playing we have already spoken in noticing
her admirable execution of Chopin’s first concerto and the
fourth of those by Rubinstein at the New Philharmonic con¬
certs. At her recital this accomplished lady also proved her
knowledge of the various classical styles by playing Beethoven’s
“Walilstein” sonata, and pieces by Bach, Handel, Mendelssohn,
and other composers, Madame EssipofFs second recital is to
take place on Saturday next.

Another interesting recital, also given last week, was that
of Mdlle. Krebs, whose fine playing was heard in a well-con¬
trasted selection, eommenoing with Beethovens great sonata
“ Appassionata,” and including specimens of ancient and
modern pianoforte music.

The third of this year’s summer concerts at the Crystal i

Palace, on Saturday, was appropriated to a performance of
Signor Randegger’s cantata, “ Fridolin,” a work originally
produced at last year’s Birmingham Festival, and subsequently
repeated with similar success in various places. On Saturday
it was given with the same solo singers as at Birmingham—
Madame Lemmens-Sherrington, Mr. Cummings, Mr. ftantlcy,
and Signor Foli ; and the performance was conducted by the
composer. At the concert of to-day (Saturday) the purpose of
illustrating national music will bo resumed. The first concert
was devoted to the German school, the second to that of
France, and the programme of the fourth is to consist of
selections from English composers, including anthems, glees,
madrigals, part-songs, and ballads.

The fifth concert of the Philharmonic Society took place on
Monday, when Herr Alfred Jaell made his first appearance this
season. This eminent pianist was heard in Beethoven’s first
concerto (in C) and in Schumann’s “ Concert-Stuck,” in both of
which his highly-cultivated powers were displayed to ad¬
vantage. The symphonies were Hadyn’s “Surprise” and
Beethoven’s No. 5 (in C minor), the first part of the concert
having closed with Mr. Macfarren’s overture to “St. John the
Baptist,” and the second part with the inarch from Men-
'delssohn’s “ Athalie ” music. Miss Blanche Cole and Mr. E.
Lloyd were the vocalists.

Eight Scandinavian ladies, who have recently arrived here,
have attracted much attention by their characteristic singing
of national melodies. Their first public appearance took place
at St. James’s Hall, on Saturday afternoon, when their
performances were much applauded.

Dr. Wesley has concluded engagements with the principal
singers for the Gloucester festival. He has secured the services
of Mdlle. Titiens and Miss Edith Wynne, sopranos ; Madame
Trebelli-Bettini, Miss Sterling, and Miss Griffiths, contraltos ;
Mr. Lloyd and Mr. Bentham, tenors ; and Signor Agnesi and
Mr. Lewis Thomas, basses. Mr. Sainton is to lead the orchestra,
which will comprise many of the best London instrumentalists.
The three cathedral choirs of Gloucester, Hereford, and
Worcester will be reinforced by choristers from London and
the chief provincial towns. The programme has not yet been
finally settled, but the following will probably be the arrange¬
ment :—On the Tuesday morning, Spohr’s “ Last Judgment ”
and Weber’s thanksgiving cantata, “Praise Jehovah.” A per¬
formance of sacred music will take place in the cathedral on
Tuesday evening, consisting of Haydn's “Creation,” followed
either by “Israel in Egypt” or Rossini’s “Stabat Mater.”
As usual, “Elijah” will be given on Wednesday morning;
but on Thursday Rossini’s “ Messe Solenelle ” will be
performed, with “Israel in Egypt” or “Stabat Mater,”
according to the final arrangements for Tuesday evening’s per¬
formance. The “ Messiah ” will be the oratorio on the Friday
morning, and the festival will conclude with a special service in
the cathedral, at which the members of the three cathedral
choirs will assist.

A new cantata, entitled “Supplication and Praise,” com¬
posed by Dr. Sloman, of ‘Scarborough, is to be produced at the
Royal Albert Hall on June 17, when it will be given with full
band and a grand chorus consisting of Mr.W. Carter’s choir.

Miss Sophia Flora Heilbron, the well-known pianiste,
announces her farewell concert, prior to her departure for
America, next Tuesday, at Tavistock House, Tavistock-square.

The death is recorded of Mr. William Ewing, long known
in musical circles at Glasgow, where, manv years ago, he was
the means of introducing glee and madrigal singing.

THEATRES.

Whitsuntide is generally a season of dramatic productivity,
but it is seldom a prolific one. The present boasts only of two
new dramas. That at the Haymarket we have already noticed,
celebrating “the monarch of mountains,” but trusting too
much, we fear, to the scenic artist—too little to story,
dialogue, and character. At the Court Theatre dependence is
also placed on the attractions of a local name. “ Brighton ” is
the title of a new drama, which is by Mr. Frank Marshall, and
professes to be a comedy. The idea of the piece, indeed, is
as comic as it is obvious. The neighbourhood is just the
place where a visitor may meet with a host of acquaintances,
and a vain youth, with a number of flirtations on his
conscience, might here easily enough meet with many
of his victims, willing to combine for a common revenge.
Robert Sackett (Mr. Charles Wyndham) is the hero of such an
adventure, and the ladies are Effie Remington (Miss Sylvia
Hodson), Virginia Vanderpump (Miss Kate Phillips), and the
Widow f Alston (Marie de Grey), all of whom are found
assembled at the Grand Hotel; and, to make the matter worse,
are all well acquainted with each other. They catch him at
once in their arms ; to defend himself he flourishes a claret-
bottle, and they, in fear of having their dresses spoiled, are
compelled to retreat. But, in his turn, he finds himself in
danger of several duels, w’hich, however, in the end, are com¬
promised. There is little in such a plot as this, yet it is made
to furnish the materials for four acts; and, being very well
acted, is full of amusement.

Mdlle. Favart, having concluded her engagement at the
Princess’s in her favourite part of Camille, M. Got, of the
Theatre Franyais, has appeared for three nights in “ Le Gendre
de Monsieur Poirier” and in “Mercadet.” In the former
character every shade of the individual was minutely rendered ;
in the latter part M. Got gave a more sentimental version than
that to which Mr. Charles Mathews has accustomed us. The
latter play was preceded by “Lea Juronsde Cadillac,” in which
Mdlle. W ilhelm and M. Didier succeeded in provoking much
laughter.

The total number of pauper lunatics in the United Kingdom
is 69,982, of whom 43,367 are in county, borough, Royal, dis¬
trict, parochial (Scotland), and private licensed asylums, and
26,615 in workhouses and elsewhere.

The new line of railway from Sevenoaks to Maidstone,
branching from the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway was
opened on Monday, and Maidstone wore a holiday aspect/

Lord Alfred Paget’s steam-yacht, while proceeding to Havre,
fell in with a disabled and helpless screw* collier, which was
taken in tow by the noble owner of the Cecile; and, after a
heavy pull of fifteen houra, the tide being adverse, was brought
safely into Southampton. 6

A camp of military instruction has been established at
Aldershott, in accordance with the recommendation of the
Duke ot Cambridge in his report upon last year’s antumn
manoeuvres. It is composed of two brigades of cavalry, six of
infantry, two batteries of Royal horse artillery, six held
batteries, and a strong body of engineers. The whole com¬
mand is in charge ot General Sir Hope Grant. Notwithstand¬
ing tue oppressive heat, dnll i* being diligently pursued and
t hetraops are reported to be in excellent health On Tuesday
the cavalry and Royal Horse Artillery were out in the Long
V alley practising outpost duty.

THE DERBY DOG.

Run under a broiling sun, as when Doncaster’s victory l^t
year astounded everybody (except those wonderful people
w ho have always seen the winner's name in a dream, and never
by any chance backed their vision); struggled through in a
blinding snowstorm, as in the year of the scarecrow Hermit -
won amid the muttered curses of a patriotic ring by a favourite
like Gladiateur ; or walked off with in some miraculous manner
by an outsider like Caractacus ;—under all circumstances
changeless in the midst of change, the Derby clings to its dog/,
the Derby Dog has his day. At the right moment—in other
wrords, at the wrongest of all possible moments—this hardy
annual, springing trom»his resting place beneath the turf
of Epsom Downs, rushes madly down the course, »
phantom fiend, a squealing cur, and an amateur Aunt
Sally at the Bame time; till the spell is broken,* the
mystic words are unconsciously pronounced by some infuriate
costermonger, and the Derby Dog vanishes through an imper
ceptible chasm to rejoin the pack of Herne the Hunter/
follow for another year “ Lutzow’s wild chase,” or to 8l eei)
until again at the echo of the starter's voice he has to dree his
mystic weird. •

Such, at least, is the supernatural (and sensible) theoiy u
to the nature of this strange and invariable phenomenon. Some
“ practical minds,” as they are ironically termed, have, with
their usual utter disregard for probability, maintained that it
is possible that every year afresh dog may, by some marvellous
coincidence, Btray on to the course just after it is comfortably
cleared for the race of the day. It is possible, just as it
is possible that our grandchildren may prefer being burnt
and potted to quietly indulging in the imposing funerals and
decent oak coffins of respectable householders of the present
day. It is possible—as is the flight of pigs, regarding which
the Irishman so charmingly remarked that “they were an
unlikely bird to see on the wing.”

The only rational argument in favour of this preposterous
theory is the undoubted fact that almost all human affairs hnv..
their Derby Dog. When anybody is to be instated or
f£ted, or in any way made a fuss about, someone is sure to’mar
the ceremonial—generally at the most critical moment-bv
somehow or other “putting his foot in itindeed, some men
cannot even die without givmg others a chance of making some
ridiculous blunder which completely destroys the pleasure of
the funeraL Like his canine prototype, the blunderer is
probably doing nothing morally w*rong—nothing, perhaps
which on three hundred and sixty-four days in the year, and
at twenty-three hours of the three hundred and sixty-fifth, he
might not with impunity do. Only at one particular place’ on
a certain hour of one noted day, its result is a terrific shower
of curses, bludgeons, and possibly even ginger-beer bottles (or
their moral equivalents—w hatever the moral equivalent of a
ginger-beer bottle may be). So then and there, as a matter of
course, he does it.

To such unhappy men applies with singular interest the
question which so completely upsets the anti-supernatural
theory as to Derby Dogs — “ What becomes of them after¬
wards ? ” Where are all the old Derby Dogs now ? Supposing
for a moment that it is a fresh dog which every year threatens
to spoil the great race, how long is he chaffed by other dogs
about his unfortunate appearance (with his tail between his
legs) at a moment when his presence, though unquestionably of
general interest and amusement, would so willingly have been
dispensed with ? Is the rest of his (probably brief) existence
passed under the insulting nickname of “ Darby” ? Does his
owner, if the Derby Dog possesses anything so respectable,
content himself with one hearty kick ; or does the misfortune
of a moment involve a perpetual endurance of sneer and con¬
tumely ? On the other hand, does he ever fortunately serve a
master who takes the whole affair aB a capital joke, and treata
him for ever after as a sort oi comio hero — pleasantly
re*christened, perhaps, “Colonel Henderson,” or “George
Frederick,” in honour of the day?

In like manner, what afterwards becomes of the human
Derby Dog ? In diplomacy, in the Army, at the Bar—it u
said that one blunder is fatal : that the young attache, for
instance, who ouce does the wrong thing, or even the right
thing at the wrong moment—wffio makes himself or his embassy
ridiculous in the eyes of the little world it moves in—need
never hope to recover the unblemished, unlaughed-at prestige
he had perhaps been years in acquiring. Once make yourself
a laughing-stock—once gain a comic and uncomplimentary
nickname — and it will take all your patience and geniality
and popularity to escape from the unpleasant position (some¬
what akin to that of the “ natural” of a Scotch village) which
will lie forced upon you : a thin skin, a constant suspicion that
people are laughing at you or whispering about “that confounded
blunder” dooms you to an eternity of undignified but very real
suffering. Is it pleasant, after w'altzing with a blue-eyed
sylph, enfolding that syllabub of creamy muslins and silks (or
whatever the charming conglomerations are composed of) in
your trembling arm, murmuring into the little ear that peep
out so daintily from its golden umbrage a confession of the
tender influence Gung’l always has upon you ;—is it pleasant,
after ten minutes’ delicious happiness, to see those dreamy eyes
awake and glitter tow T ards you with unkin d amusement, at
Haughton of the Guards (confound him !) whispers the ma¬
licious information that you are the unlucky hero of that field*
day at Aldershott, or that reception at the Guildhall? Of
course, she looks upon you as an excellent joke ever
after—the silkiest moustache and the tenderest melancholy are
valueless when regarded from a comic point of view; and if
you dance with her again the odds are that you are too angry
writb yourself, and her, and Haughton, and those condemned
newspapers, and the w r orld in geueral, to be anything but ex*
cessively disagreeable and singularly uninteresting.

No; it is not a nice thing to be a Derby Dog, certainly.
But there is one curious speculation to which both the super¬
natural and anti-supernatural theories give rise. Does the
wrong dog ever suffer ? When the genuine animal is either
joining in Lutzow’s wild chase aforesaid, or hiding securely
under a friendly carriage, is not occasionally some unlucky
cur faintly resembling him hooted and chaffed by an on*
discerning mob ? Surely in human Derbies it is sometime*
so — a subaltern has to suffer for his chief’s stupidity,
or an ingenious blunderer may even shift the ridiculo on to the
shoulders of some one entirely unconnected with the affair.
To find oneself a laughing-stock is bad enough at any time;
but to be laughed at for somebody else’s misdeed must lie cause
for justifiable suicide—or homiciae. To be deputy Derby Dog,
kicked by heavy-booted men, and contemptuously barked at
by the canine object of your affections, and all with the con¬
sciousness (which you can not impress upon others) that you
were, at the precise moment in question, discussing most
absorbedly a stray jdgeon-pie, this must make one inclined to
go and muzzle oneself forthwith, or to seek out and violently
attack^ tho^ real and genuine (if spiritual and unearthly) Derby

FINE ARTS.

THE ROYAL ACADEMY EXHIBITION.

FIFTH NOTICE.

The controversy respecting the treatment of the landscape-
painters by tho Koval Academy, which has been renewed on
the opening of each Academy exhibition for many years past,
has been reopened with increased intensity. From the circum¬
stance that all the members of the hanging committee for the
present year happened to be figure-painters essentially, it was
not unreasonably inferred that such a committee could feel
little interest in landscape art; and by some contributors of
landscapes and critics the conclusion was arrived at—rather
hastily, perhaps—that less consideration had never been shown
than now in the placing of the accepted landscapes. \\ e
confess that this- last specific charge appears to us to have little
foundation. The landscapes have, on the whole, fared, we
think, rather better than usuaL Mr. Bretts pictures aro
almost for the first time on “the line ; ” works by J. Linnell,
p. Graham, H. Dawson, J. W. Oakes, G. E. Henng, and by
less-known painters, such as D. Cameron, J. Smart, A. S.
Wortley, ana others, are likewise on the line ; so, too, are the
better of two pictures by H. Moore, and one of three pictures
by W. B. Leader ; whilst the works of C. P. Knight and J. G.
Naish are not “ skied ” as heretofore. Several landscapists of
the Scotch school have been less fortunate ; but wo may, as wo
proceed, find reasons for Academic discouragement in this case.

The controversy has not been mollified by a letter to a con¬
temporary written by the junior member of the hanging commit¬
tee, who, undertaking the championship of that committee and
of the whole council of the Academy, compared the complaining
landscapists and the remonstrances of their friends to “ the
late Claimant and the diatribes of his counsel,” intimating at
the same time that their protests were useless, and that “ their
interests would not be furthered by charging the council with
incompetence and ignorance.” Such charges have not been
made, so far as we arc aware, but only that of want of sym¬
pathy. And now can it be otherwise, when, if we except Mr.
Cooke (the marine painter) and Mr. Vicat Cole, there is not
one of the sixty Academicians and Associates who won his
diploma simply and solely as a landscape-painter ? Nor, pro¬
perly speaking, is this branch of art taught in the Academy
schools, although there is a landscape competition for the gold
medal given by Turner expressly to supply a crying deficiency.
When also we remember that our school is admitted to excel
in landscape even by foreign critics, and that such masters as
John Crome, Patrick Nasmyth, William Muller, David Cox,
and John Linnell have had no Academic recognition, is it not
natural for the outside landscapists to suspect that their claims
are not fairly considered by the great majority of figure-
painters in power within the Academy? Nor, although we
acknowledge an improvement this year, can we admit that
(whatever may be the cause) landscape art yet has that promi¬
nence at Burlington House which might reasonably be expected.
Certain it is, moreover, that the few foreign landscapes have
received scant justice: it would be hard to find persons acquainted
with the works of J. Maris, Mesdag, Van Luppen, and Hemy,
au English pupil of the same school, who would acknowledge
that the positions they occupy correspond to their merits.

The Academic landscapes need not detain us long. We have
already paid homage to the renewed and increased triumph won
by Mr. Millais in the diversion of hiB pencil towards landscape.
We have likewise offered the high praise due to the landscape
and marine portions of Mr. Hook’s pictures. Why Mr. E. W.
Cooke is not represented in the present exhibition we are at a
loss to imagine, as ill-health is, wc are happy to hear, not
assigned as the cause of absence. Mr. Redgrave (who, like Mr.
Hook, was elected into the Academy as a figure-painter) con¬
tributes several email landscapes in his usual manner, and
Messrs. Herbert and O’Niel have, apparently, sought relaxa¬
tion in some unpretending landscapes.

Mr. Vicat Cole, the solitary landscapist among the Associates,
is the only painter within the pale of the Academy, liesides
Mr. Millais, who sends landscape work of an ambitious
character. “ The Heart of Surrey ” (111) is one of those large
representations of the familiar beauty of Surrey scenery,
its hills with golden marl-banks, its rich woodland, ripe
corn-fields, and great undulating plains of fields and
hedgerows, glowing in afternoon sunlight and gorgeous
in autumnal livery, by which the artist has acquired his
position. The theme is ever welcome ; it is treated wdth skill,
and we are not among the number of those who would quarrel
with a painter because he may be supposed to have acquired
an easy popularity by constantly dealing w ith favourite and
familiar subjects in an adroitJy-superficial manner. No painter,
probably, was more guilty of self-iteration than Clauoo himself ;
and Mr. Ruskin has assured us that he was, besides, most
superficial and conventional. Still there is something wanting
in this picture ; it fails, somehow, of the strength of realhm
on the one hand, and of the sentiment of romanticism on the
other. It conveys to us the impres-ion of a sketch that has
lost a good deal of its spirit and directness in studio elabora¬
tion. We infinitely prefer the “ Misty Morning ” (296) ;
indeed, we think this the best thing Mr. Cole has ever done.
It is “morning;” but the sun is up, suffusing the “ mist,”
glorifying the autumnal foliage of the trees, and striking golden
bands athwart the sloping meadows, in delicious contrast to the
soft, silvery breaths of hoar frost still lying in the shadows.
The effect indicated is a lovely one in nature. Turner has
rendered it writh his subtlest truth, and Mr. Cole’s vagueness
has helped to realise it with very considerable success. “ The
Evening Glow” (242), a large landscape by Mr. J. C. Adams,
and several works by Mr. A. A. Glendinning, seem to have so
much affinity to, if they are not imitative of, Mr. Cole’s works
that further comment is unnecessary.

Outside the Academy we look for and find the strongest work
by Mr. Linnell, senior—“The Woodcutters” (528), a magnifi¬
cent autumnal view, looking from a wooded eminence over a
great reach of blue distance, the whole canopied by fleecy cirro-
cumuli—a wonderful picture for a painterover eighty. This is not
simply an imitation or what we should call even a representation
of nature, in the common acceptation of the word. It is a
translation of natural appearances in a compendious, nervous,
and eloquent style ; and who that is susceptible of artistic
impressions will say that this does not convey a richer, more
suggestive, and more animated idea of what we can see and
remember of nature, taken in the mass ? The painter’s sons,
though they have not yet mastered so large, free, and bold a
style, follow closely in his steps— Mr. James Linnell, in “The
Mower Whets his Scythe ” (493), approaching nearest in the
expression of atmospheric effect ; and Mr. William Linnell, in
“Kent Weald” (481), attaining much of his father’s grand
impressiveness and pomp of colour. Mr. H. Dawson (who is
likewise closely followed by his sons) has also proved himself a
master of “style,” which,.however, sometimes verges on man¬
nerism—that is to say, the attention is occasionally arrested
by the dappled execution ; therefore it does not perfectly
perform the function of a symbol. But the artist is
not adequately represented in two small pictures of
Shoreham under morning and evening effect (G03 and 607).

Mr. Oakes has a sincere artistic feeling, and^ his colouring is
often as original as it is agreeable. “A Sandy Bit of the
Road” (976) is a good though not important example. Mr.
Leader laid the foundation of his success in close and careful
study, but he owes his present popularity to qualities similar
to those of Mr. Vicat Cole, though he works iu a cooler, greyer
key. His subjects are generally familiarly picturesque m them¬
selves, gay and sparkling in effect, and they are worked out
with an ornamental pencil, a light and graceful touch. “ A
Fine Day in Autumu—the Thames at Streatley ” (563) is a
very pleasant presentment of a pretty spot. I wo larger land¬
scapes arc rather conventional—due, perhaps, to haste.

None of the preceding painters seek for that poetic side of
Nature where she presents her more mysterious beauty or
awfulnesa ; indeed, there is an almost entire absence of imagi¬
native sympathy in this direction in our whole landscape school.
Mr. A. W. Hunt possesses that sympathy, and he has success¬
fully given utterance to it in water colours ; but he seems to us
to have failed to do so in his two pictures here, “Rents and
Scars in Coniston Fells” (1361), with a pall of thundercloud
darkling over the savage scene, save where forked lightning
cleaves its devious way ; and a landscape with the last rays of
a sunken sun striking “ From Mount to Mount through Cloud-
land ” (79). Mr. Hunt is evidently less at home in oil-painting,
which may account for the palpable opacity in the first picture,
that fails to strike the desired note of awe, and for the lack of
that beauty and sentiment to be looked for in the effect of the

second ^vork.

The most truly impressive picture in the entire exhibition
is, we think, Mr. H. Moore’s “Rough Weather on the Coast,
Cumberland ” (1033). What fine imaginative perception, what
fidelity of observation, what descriptive power of hand in every
sweep of the brush, are there not here ! It seems positively
alive as you look at that boiling, foaming waste of water!
Never have we seen the peculiar fight on the hoar turmoil of
the breakers in a storm so truly rendered—-it is like moonlight,
but not due to the beams that, struggling ghastly pale through
a rent in the drifting clouds, faintly disclose this conflict of the
elements and that battered hull, telling of its fatal fury ; it is
not the gleaming lustre of the driving masses of foam, though
white as drifted snow—it is the phosphorescent glamour so
often emitted by the sea when buneteu by the wind, or lash¬
ing the shore, or cut by a ship’s prow'. This picture, however,
defies description ; it must be seen and studied by the reader
for himself.

Another remarkable coast-scene is “Our Northern Walls”
(20), in which Mr. Peter Graham takes us once more to the
inhospitable Sutherlandshire coast to watch the Atlantic break
in futile foam against its rocky ramparts. As before, the grey,
cold sky is full of drifting rain ; the tide is at that stage when
the sea, in stormy mood, washes over, but does not submerge,
the fallen rocks, over which the cormorants skim and dip ;
when, still in full force, the waves hurst against the precipitous
cliffs, or dart into the cloven caves, to recoil, sucked over the
Bandv detritis by their own gravity. The contest ia a tre¬
mendous one in fact, and Mr. Graham has caught much of the
spirit of it; yet the representation does not impress us like Mr.
Moore's. The phenomena are more limited, and tho work
seems like a gigantic sketch ; the surf and spindrift are chalky,
the waves have hardly weight enough to make the rocks
tremble and resound, and the “walls” themselves have not
the air of a very solid stable barrier. We prefer Mr. Graham’s
other picture, “The Misty Mountain Top” (494), a great
heathery acclivity, with a few sheep, its shadowed summit
passing beneath mist wreaths. The beautiful snowy lustre of
the softly rounded mist is very felicitously rendered ; hut the
rest of the picture is almost too much subordinated by slightness
of execution to that focus of effect. This, like other recent
landscapes by the same artist, would form but a fragment of the
“Spate in the Highlands,” that admirable epic of Scotch
scenery and effects which first brought him into note. Self-
repetition, limitation of range, and specious deftness of mani¬
pulation are faults and failings common in the Scotch landscape
school. The school is also deficient in colourists, effects of
fight and dark being alone sought for. These remarks apply
more or less to Mr. Colin Hunter’s twdnkling loch scenes with
fishing-boats, which, effective and spirited as they unquestionably
are, merely repeat, while they do not equal, former subjects,
the nearer waves in particular appearing to us heavy and
opaque almost as clods (see Nos. 297 and 385); to Mr. C. E.
Johnson’s swollen peat-stained river in No. 610, and (in a less
degree) to “The Old House of the Macdougalls ;” to Mr.
McWhirter’s study of moonlight on the sea (709), a singularly
empty picture; to Mr. Docharty’s inkily dismal “Loch
Achfay(161)and “Glencoe”(228); and to Mr. J. Smart’s gloomy
“ Pass of the Cateran ” (2) with its heavy mists and struggling
herd. More complete and even solid, though in a delicate
gamut of silvery tints, is Mr. D. Cameron’s “Loch Fyne”
(666). There is some colour here, as also in J. Farquharson’s
“Leaving the Hill” (617), a shepherd with his charge—the
hazy morning light very truly rendered. Mr. McWhirtcr,
whose moonlight is mentioned above, is a humourist with
strong sympathy for tho assinine tribe—he has painted the
donkey in the pitiless storm, he has painted him “in clover,”
now he has painted him (and very skilfully too) “ Out in the
Cold ” (648); the poor beast stands outside the locked door of
his shed in deeply drifted snow.

Most of the artists we have hitherto reviewed address
themselves to the mind, so to speak, and two or three to
the imagination; we now come to a small group of painters who
seem to address themselves exclusively to the eye. Foremost
in this category is Mr. J. Brett, whose “Summer Noon in the
Scilly Isles ” (130) is a miracle of patient, exact, and vivid
mimicry. Every part is equally elaborate—the foreground
cliff and ponderous l>oulder, with all the accidents of structure,
texture, cleavage, water-worn channel, or porosity, stratification,
and what not; with their scant clothing of shreds of soft
mosses and patches of lichen and tiny, fairy-like flowering
plants of variegated, beauteous hues ; the sea with its myriad
dancing wavelets of blue, and purple, find pink, reflected from
the sky ; the distant isle, with every minute feature of its con¬
tour ; the cloudlets basking in the sunlight as they idly float in
the azure above, all fall on the retina clear and sharp as the
reflection in a mirror, not, however, as they could possibly be
seen at once. If we analyse the impression we receive from
our visual sensation of this work we shall find that, like a
child looking through an inverted telescope, it is primarily
one of surprised and delighted wonder at finding by a sort of
legerdemain the reality—which yet we know to he not the
reality, but a counterfeit—where we did not expect to find it.
We also admire the beauty and complexity of the scene, hut we
derive no secondary emotion, sentiment, or imaginative sug¬
gestion whatever. Perhaps, too, it is owing to the glassy, still
perfection of the reflected image that this “summer noon”
conveys no idea of heat or warmth, though a girl, pretending
to he overcome thereby, is feigning sleep under the shadow of
the boulder. We have not space, however, to attempt to de¬
termine how much or how little true art, as distinguishable
from exquisite workmanship, may be here; hut certain it is
tbat there are more things in nature and in art than are dreamt
of in Mr. Brett’s philosophy.

“A Spring Tide in Ramsay Race" (114), by Mr. C. P.
Knight, is more faithful to the genera! optical impression,
though lees illusively exact in details. The rush of the foam.ng
waves across the rocky-har. and the effect of sunbgl.t on the
eminence to the r.ght, are capitally copied Ihere can he no
doubt that Mr. Naish is a simple and honest student of nature,
it is shown throughout liis picture called • Homeward Bound
representing - tho chops of the Bristol Channel, inside l.undy
Island ” (126). He is particularly happy iu tho painting or the
sea here, from the bottom of the chasm in the foreground to
the distant horizon. His execution is broader, however, than
that of the two last-named painters. W r e think the shadows
of the rocks somewhat black and forced. The four
works may also he conveniently grouped together ‘ Heath
Scene, uear Haalemere, Surrey ”(472), by Mr. G. Cole; “ Late
Autumn on the Cumberland Fells” (65), by ■Mr. A. W.
Williams ; “ Night in Egypt — Overflowing of the Nile (1038),
by Mr. A. Gilbert; and “ Loch Coruisk, Isle of Skye ” (253),
by Mr. S. R. Percy. Three of these artists belong to tho
Williams family of landscapists, which, not many years hack,
occupied a rather prominent position in British art. Ihey
have all, like many others, distinguished themselves in the
gallery of the Society of British Artists—a gallery that was
formerly regarded (it can hardly be so now) as a home for
landscape-art seeking refuge from Academic exclusiveness
and antagonism. The present examples of these painters
have all considerable technical merit. Then how is
it that they will probably bo overlooked by the critics, if not
by the public ? The answer majr be found in the works them¬
selves. Their producers have their admirers and their market;
but, like so many of their brethren, they can have little hope
of titular Academic distinction ; hence they have been content
to adopt a fixed routine of work, the remunerative nature of
which is assured ; their labours of to-day are the same as they
were ten or twenty years ago, and, consequently, there is
nothing new to say of them. Mr. Birkett Foster is another
painter who has settled into a mannerism, and one that is less
acceptable in his oil pictures than in his water-colour drawings.
“ The Life-Boat: Return from a Wreck ” (535), is formal in
execution, without the effectiveness of his drawings, and
sombre, yet unimpressive. We have seen something like Mr.
G. E. Hering’s “ Passing Gleams : Glen Torridcn ” (91) beforo ;
nevertheless the treatment is very respectable, if a little tame.
Mr. C. J. Lewis is rather too fond of infusing blue and
other related cold hues into his pictures, whatever their
effect. No. 1018 — a scene up the Thames — has, not¬
withstanding, a fresh and but little - forced charm of
natural truth in the effect. The title, “ Evening’s Light
of Amber,” is, however, a misnomer, for the twilight sky that
is seen through rifts iu the slate-coloured clouds is pale prim¬
rose. Mr. E. A. Waterlow, a recent Turner gold-medallist, has
perhaps been a little reminiscent of Mason or Walker in one or
two of his contributions ; but “The Land Storm” (940), in the
consentaneous expression in every part of the force of the wind,
gives promise of future excellence. Mr. W. L. Wyllie, another
recent gold-medallifct, has a scene on the Goodwin Sands (1330),
which testifies to a close and diligent study of nature which is
bearing good fruit. Similar commendation is due to “ Harbour
Fishing” (97), bv the last named artist’s younger brother, Mr.
C. W. Wyllie. Fair promise is likewise afforded by two other
young landscapists, Messrs. F. W. Meyer and J. Aumonier.
“ Evening on the Coast ” (73), a twilight effect, by the former,
is rendered with equal refinement and truth. “An Easter
Holiday ”(727), by the latter, shows a number of charity school
girls scattered about a knoll that is radiant with primroses and
gladdened by brilliant spring sunshine.

We must content ourselves by commending to the visitor
the following meritorious works: — “Sunshine in January”
(557), by R. Gallon — true and beautiful in its effect of illumined
mist veiling the middle and remoter distance; “Fall of the
River Clytle, Stonetyres, Scotland ” (1399), by E. Gill ; “Ins
and Outs of a Welsh River” (1408), by F. W. Hulme; “The
Conflict” (196), by J. Danby—ships locked in battle, with tho
sun setting impressively in blood-red mist ; “The Wild Ducks’
Haunt” (560), by J. H. Davies ; “ Shiplake Loch and Mill ”
(63D, by T. O. Hume—noteworthy for its silvery, sweet effect
of grey daylight; No. 645, a scene in a wood with “brachen
glistening wdth metallic light,” by G. Sant; “ Late in the
Day”(5-<6), by J. L. Pickering—effective, truthful, and very
careful in the drawing of the almost leafless trees, as seen
against the autumn evening sky; “Morning” (490), by E.
Hume—fishermen bringing the night's taking ashore and filling
the fishwives’ baskets : both the figures and coast scene well

S ainted, and the morning light truly rendered ; “Sailors’
ardens, South Devon ” (1379), by T. Lloyd; “Scene on the
Tamar” (240), a landscape of considerable merit, by A. B.
Collier; “The Embankment” (5S3), a capital picture of
London’s latest improvement by J. O’Conner the well known
scene painter ; “ Uolmbury Hill ” (633), by F. Walton ; “ Tide
Pools’* (36), one of G. F. L’eniswood s artistic and suggestive
little coast views under moonlight effect; marine pieces by R.
Dudley ; and contributions by J. Raven, A. Parsons, G. B.
Head, W. Luker, G. Chester, G. O. Stanfield, R. P. Richards,
C. Ricketts, and A. de Breanski.

In the Lecture-Room is a rather large landscape (987), by
A. S. Wortley, an amateur we believe. The picture repre¬
sents a view “ In Wharncliffe Chase.” Snow lies on the ground,
but not deep enough to cover a few patches of sere, copper-
coloured ferna ; a little removed from the foreground a cluster
of oaks rear the skeleton forms of their strong stems, tortuous
branches, and thousand ramifications of twigs and sprays,
telling black almost in contrast with the snow and against tho
grey, wintry sky. The sharpness with which the arboral
anatomy is made out is rather suggestive of photographic aid ;
in colour and effect, however, the work shows genuine artistic
study. “Clearing after a Storm in the Alps” (394) and “On
the Mer de Glace^’ (381) ore by Sir Robert Collier; and, as
usual, the diversions of an autumn vocation would not discredit
a professional painter. The strongest pain ter-power, however,
possessed by any English amateur, so far as we know, is evinced
by Sir Henry Thompson in “Tea la Russe” (728). a compo¬
sition of kettle, coloured drinking-glasses, cut lemon on Japanese
tray, and other articles, which, save for a quaint blue-stained tea¬
pot, might betaken as preparatives rather for grog than tea-drink¬
ing—the whole relieved against a rich background of stamped
leather. The colouring is sunerb, tho handling most masterly in
its breadth and freedom. But the marvel of it is, how does an
eminent surgeon in very extensive practice find time to produce
pictures of this quality? A group of “ Rhododendrons, &o ”
(569), by W. J. Muckley, is most brilliantly and beautifully
painted. The flower-pieces by the Misses Mutrie arc, as
always, excellent in their kind.

Messrs. Downey, the celebrated photographers of New-
castle-on-Tyne and London, have published a most excellent
cabinet-portrait of the Emperor of Russia, for which his
Imperial Majesty gave a sitting when in London. The same
photographers have also issued a family group of the Emperor
the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, and the Grand Dnke
Alexis.

THE NEW ZEALAND
PREMIER.

The insular colony of New
Zealand has an enterprising
ambition which vies with
the most prosperous Austra¬
lian mainland provinces, Vic¬
toria and New South Wales.

Its total population is now
above 300,000, of whom but
a tenth are Maori natives.

Its trade, whether export or
import, amhunts to the value
of nearly £6,000,000 yearly.

Gold and wool are the chief
products exported. The two
islands, rather larger than
Great Britain and Ireland
together, are divided into
nine provinces—Wellington,

Auckland, Taranaki or New
Plymouth, and Hawke’s Bay,
in the North Island ; Canter¬
bury, Otago, Nelson, Marl¬
borough, and Westland, in the
South Island. Thegovernment
is federal; each province,
with an elected Superinten¬
dent and Council, man-
aging'all its own affairs, but
sending delegates to a General
Assembly, convened by Sir
James Fergusson, the Queen’s
representative, at Welling¬
ton. The Hon. Julius Vogel
has, during the last five years,
assumed a leading part in
colonial politics. He is now
Prime Minister and President
of the Council. There may
be—indeed, there is—a dif¬
ference of opinion among the
more experienced colonists
with regard to the extraordi¬
nary boldness of Mr. Vogel’s
financial policy. A lavish
expenditure for the construc¬
tion of railways in twenty
districts at once, and costly
attempts to force immigra¬
tion of English labourers,
may involve New Zealand
in premature heavy burdens,
to he felt most severely, per¬

favourable seasons and mar¬
kets. The public debt, in¬
cluding both that of the
Genetal and those of the
Provincial Governments, al¬
ready exceeds ten millions
sterling, with an annual
charge of £550,0(X); and it
is likely to be half as much
again before Mr. Vogel leaves
office. Meantime, his admin¬
istration seems to be BtHl
very popular, at any rate, in
those provinces, Wellington,

Canterbury, and Otago, which
enjoy the high tide of pros¬
perity just now. On Jan. 6,
in the city of Dunedin, -which
is the capital of Otago pro¬
vince, Mr. Vogel was enter¬
tained at a banquet, where a
testimonial of the value of
£500 was presented to him.

His Excellency the Governor
honoured the occasion with
his presence. The captain and officers of the French war¬
ship Vire and most of the leading residents were among the
company. Mr. Vogel took the opportunity of making a speech,
embracing all the principal subjects of political interest of
the day. The testimonial gift was a service of plate, manu¬
factured by Messrs. R. and S. Garrard, of the Haymarket,
London.

THE LATE

PRINCESS HOHENLOHE-LANGENBURG.

A monument has been designed by his Serene Highness Count
Gleichen, Prince Victor of Hohcidohe, to be placed over the
grave of his mother, Princess Hohenlohe-Langenburg, sister of
Queen Victoria, in the cemetery at Baden-Baden. She died
on Sept. 23, 1872. The design represents a beautiful female
figure, an embodiment of the soul, who is seated at the foot of
a large upright cross. The monument being in sUu, the face of
the figure is turned to the charming little villa, two miles
distant from the cemetery, in which this Princess resided

HEAD OF HADRIAN,
AT JERUSALEM.

A remarkable head of a
statue was found last year
among the fallen blocks of a
stone wall, just outside the
walls of Jerusalem. It is
believed by M. Clermont
Ganneau, who first observed
the importance of the relic, to
bo the head of the Emperor
Hadrian. If this be the case,
it is probably that of the
statue which the Emperor
erected in the Temple of
Jupiter Capitoliaus, on the
site of the Jewish sanctuary.
It was after crushing the last
and most terrible of Jewish
insurrections, led by Barco-
chebas, “son of the star,”
that Hadrian changed the
name of Jerusalem to that of
/Elia Capitolina, and placed
his own statue in the Temple
of Jupiter, erected there.
It was there standing two
hundred years later, being
mentioned by the Bordeaux
Pilgrim and by St. Jerome.
Probably it was destroyed,
together with the Temple, in
that iconoclastic fury which
followed the conversion of
Constantine. This head is
clearly a portrait, and not of
a vulgar type. The opinion
of M. Ganneau that it is no
other than the head of
Hadrian is shared by the
Archimandrite of the Russian
mission at Jerusalem, who
has bought the relic. Mr.
Vaux, late of the British
Museum, conlirms this view,
so far as it is possible from
the photograph. He says,
“The characteristics of Ha¬
drian’s physiognomy avo the
crisp beard, the straight nose,
the curved eyelids, and the
curved if not curled mous¬
taches. All these are here.”
But without hastily assuming
that the head is that of the
Emperor, it is at least a
striking and even an | im¬
posing monument. If, when
a cast reaches England, it
should turn out to be tho
actual head ef Hadrian, it
will justify the reflections of
M. Clermont Ganneau : —
“Strange irony of fate,” he
writes, in his report to the
committee of the Palestine
Exploration Fund: “Thrown
face downwards on the old
highway, this triumphant
head of the conqueror of
Barcochebas, the rebuilder of
Jerusalem, the divine Ha¬
drian, with the laurel wreath
and the eagle of empire, has
been trodden under foot for
twelve centuries by every-
body, great and small, who
has entered the holy city ;
and after this long ignominy,
for a last outrage, the muti¬
lated head, still with the same pride in] its look, has been
picked up by a poor peasant, and thrown among his common
building stones.”

ROYAL INSTITUTION LECTURES.

PHYSICAL SYMMETRY IX CRYSTALS.

Professor Maskdyne, Keeper of the Mineral Department,
British Museum, in his third lecture on Physical Symmetry m
Crystals on Thursday week, resumed the consideration of the
different way in which the same crystal behaves towards dif¬
ferent forces, his explanations being fully illustrated by models
and experiments. Beginning with heat, he referred to the
various ways in which its effects are manifested—viz., radia¬
tion, conduction, and expansion. In respect to radiation, lie
noticed the resemblance between heat and light, both being due
to the transverse vibration of the ether. Matter, ho said,
influences the ether, and makes it denser, thereby shackling its
elasticity and rendering it more sluggish, and, in consequence,
the vibratory impulses are slower. A ray of light enterim: a
crystal is generally constrained, as a consequence of the modifi¬
cation iu the elasticity of the ether-medium induced by the
crystal, to exchange its planes of vibration for two that are
perpendicular to each other and definite in their directions
in the crystal. The two rays, thus plane-polarised, move
on through the crystal with different velocities, the
slower ray being the more refracted. This was exhibited
by means of a Bphere of calcite or carbonate of lime. When it
was rotated, at certain times two balls of light appeared on the
screen ; at other times the two were combined in one ; and
analogous results were produced by tourmalines and other
crystals. In reference to the question as to what becomes of
the heat and light absorbed by a crystal, Professor Maskelyne
explained that they do work—first, in transferring increased
motion to the molecules, and thereby raising the temperature ;
aud, secondly, by opening wider the intervals or excursions of
the molecules—that is, by expanding the substance. He then
explained how the comparative degrees of facility with which
heat travels by conduction along different directions in a crystal
may be illustrated by the isothermal curve that bounds the
region which has risen to a certain temperature at any given
interval of time after the heating process has begun from a
point within the crystal. Two pieces of quartz were heater!
by means of pieces of wire inserted in them, and the curves
were shown upon the very thin layer of wax with which they
were coated. These curves are always circles or ellipses, anti
the combinations of circles or ellipses thus formed can only
build up spheres, spheroids, or ellipsoids. Professor Maskelyne
showed that these different figures represent three groups
of crystalline systems, and said that an ellipsoid or spheroid
may also be made to express the action of a crystal in
regard to radiation, but in a far more artificial manner. The
movement of a wave of light through a crystal is not iu form
an ellipsoid ; but an ellipsoid represents with close accuracy
the variations iu elasticity of which the wave-motion and the
wave-surface are the results. In reference to expansion by
heat in crystals, the Professor explained how the differences of
expansion in different directions may be calculated from the
alteration in the angles between the faces of the crystal that
accompany change of temperature. In the latter part of the
lecture he noticert some of the modifications of light by a crystal,
aud illustrated them by experiments, observing that there was
a greater apparent symmetry in regard to some of their physical
properties exhibited by crystals of the oblique and anorthic
systems than they show in their morphological features. Such,
lor instance, would be the case in the wave-surface of a single
colour ; and, finally, he exhibited, by a beautiful experiment, the
influence of heat in modifying the optic electricity of a crystal,
and brought into contrast, by exhibiting with coloured threads
on a set of axes in wire, the relative crystallographic, optical,
and thermic relations, as well as the co efficients of expansion
for 100 deg. centigrade of a crystal of aragonite.

T1TE ROMAN CATACOMBS AND EARLY CHRISTIAN BELIEF.

The Very Rev. Dr. Stanley, Dean of Westminster, at the
Friday evening meeting, May 29, began his discourse by
stating that he proposed to consider the question, What was
the belief of the early Christians from the close of the first
century to the conversion of the Roman empire to Christianity
iu the third ? The answer was difficult, since the books of the
period were few, and these the work of scholars ; and even in
the present day the belief in England can only be gathered
from intimate conversation with the people, not from news-*
papers and literature only. An easy reply to his question is
found in the Roman catacombs : galleries dug in the rocks by
the Christians for the burial of their friends, over whoso
remains they put up what afforded the most consolation and
pleasure to themselves. These places, after being covered over
with rubbish by barbarian invaders, were excavated after the
revival of learning in the seventeenth century, and aro to early
Christianity what Pompeii is to Paganism. The Dean alluded
to the Eastern character of these structures and inscriptions,
showing that Greek was the language of the early Roman
< hnrch, whose members followed Syrian rather than Latin
usages. This indicated toleration rather than persecution.
The subjects *>f the paintings in the catacombs were chiefly
biblical, those from the Old Testament frequently representing
the Creation, and incidents in the history of Abraham, Mosos,
Jonah, and Daniel ; those from the New Testament included
Zaccbmus in the sycamore-tree, the raising of Lazarus, and
Pilate. These topics, the Dean remarked, coincide with the
theology of the Eastern rather than with that of the Western
Church down to the present time, as may be seen in Russia.
Svleetn g the tombs of the lady Domitella and h* r family, the
I Van noticed three characteristics—that in them everything
was cheerful, and even joyous ; that there was neither the cross,
nor the ciuciiixion, nor the tortures of martyrdom, nor
skeletons, but wreaths of roses, winged genii, and children
olayiDg ; while many of the decorations were from heathen
sources—the classics of the Hebrew and the heathen wtrti not
yet parted. The chief token of the creed of the early
Christians found in the catacombs was the Good Shepherd, in-
tei mingled with other pictures, but always present, alike on
the tombs of the humblest and the vory highest. The kind¬
ness, grace, love, and beauty of the Good Shepherd were to them

the Prayer-book, creed, and canons, all in one. It was, said
the Dean, an instance of the general connection between the
new Christian belief and the old pagan world, since Mercury
was represented as a figure much resembling the Good Shepherd.
The catacombs represent to ua the joy ful, cheerful side of
Christianity, the very reverse of the desponding, wailing cry
often heard in later days. The first object of the Christian
community was not to repel, but to iuclude—not to con¬
demn, but to save ; and this was represented by the
Good Shepherd carrying sometimes a kid, instead of
a lamb on his shoulder. Another . sign . of early
Christian belief was the vine, with its branches of

varied shape, and the joyful vintage. The departed soul was
often represented as a beautiful bird, and the usually very
brief epitaphs express sentiments of the deepest natural affec¬
tion. In summing up the evidences of belief derived from the
catacombs, the Dean said that they diffbr widely from the
statements of contemporaneous authors, showing the striking
divergence which exists between popular belief and that set
forth in books. They differ also even more widely from our own
forms and from those of the whole of Christendom for 1500
years. Lie suggested that if the principles expressed by these
forms aro true, it might be well to ask whether what we call
the attack and dcfenceof our religion are directed against or for
the faith and hope of the dwellers in the catacombs. Hardly
one of their principles, he said, is assailed in Strauss’s “Old
and New Faith ; ” and, as a general rule, the belief of the
catacombs is neither that which is defended by modern theo¬
logians nor that attacked by modern sophists. After all,
perhaps, it may be worth while to ask if there is anything so
very absurd in supposing that Christians have really something
in common with each other. The pictures of the Good
Shepherd and the Vine have not become watchwords of parties
or the subject of popular agitation ; but to tlie early Christians
“ they were not vague, unsubstantial, and colourless, but were
the food of their daily lives, their hope under the severest
trials, the very dogma of dogmas—if we choose so to call them—
the very life of their life.” Sir Frederick Pollock, Bart., vice-
president, was in the chair.

PHYSICAL CONDITION OF THE LARGER PLANETS.

Mr. R. A. Proctor, author of “The Sun,” “The Moon,”
“Saturn,” and other astronomical works, began his fourth
lecture on the Planetary System, on Saturday last, by exhibit¬
ing a series of charts, on which he pointed out the positions to
be occupied by the many observers appointed by various
nations for the most favourable study of the transit of Venus
over the sun’s disc in the present year and in 1882 ; after which
he showed several views of Mars. He then proceeded to con¬
sider the relations presented by the giant members of the solar
system—Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune ; and entered
into a series of arguments for regarding Jupiter and '•aturn
as in a semi-sunlike condition, referring in particular to the
signs of disturbance in the atmospheric envelopes of these
planets, which indicate the action of forces much more
powerful than the sun can exert on such distant bodies,
lie stated also that so many points of evidence favour
this view of the condition of the greater planets, that
the new theory may be regarded as not far from demonstrated.
In passing he remarked that four years ago, when the evidence
was yet far lees complete, Sir John Herscbel, in a letter to
himBelf, which he partly read, expressed the feeling that there
was much evidence iu its favour ; and Mr. Proctor added that,
at the last meeting of the Astronomical Society, the Astronomer
Royal had, indeed, noticed it with approval, but as a view then
for the first time heard of. Professor Peirce, the eminent chief
of the American Coast Survey, also has adduced mathematical
reasoning which he himself regarded as in itself substantiating
the new theory. Mr. Proctor regards Uranus aud Neptune as
probably in a condition intermediate lietweeo the state of the
earth and that of their larger brethren, Saturn and Jupiter.
The concluding lecture, to be delivered this day (Saturday),
will be devoted to the discussion of the past and future of the
Solar System, and will present a new theory of life in other
worlds. It will be illustrated by means of the oxy-hydrogen
lamp and lantern.

MUSICAL WIND INSTRUMENTS.

l)r.W. H. Stone began his second aud concluding lecture
on the Theory of Musical Instruments, on Tuesday last, by
explaining ami illustrating by experiments the law of vibrations
of air in tubes, and stiting that the material of the vibrating
tube exercised some influence on the quality of the sound, its
pitch being due to the length alone. Overtones or harmonies
are produced from open pipes, including the flute, the oboe,
and brass instruments in one series, and in stopped pipes in
another series. Dr. Stone expressed his opinion that more
might be done in reproducing imitative stops on the organ by
combining the harmonic registers, as indicated by Helmholtz.
Wind instruments are of three kinds—flutes, reeds, and instru¬
ments with cupped mouthpieces. In flutes the column of air is
split against a sharp edge ; in reeds a wooden or metal vibrator
starts the undulation, and is reinforced or modified by the tube
of the instrument. In the third kind, such as the French
horn, trumpet, and trombone, the tense lip of the performer
fills the office of a reed, or rather of a split membrane
somewhat resembling the vocal chords in the human
larynx. Besides the lip or embouchure, there is the
wind-chest. This has been materially improved in the
organ by increasing the pressures ; but Dr. Stone said that
he was not aware that it had been investigated in the case of
orchestral wind instruments, till his own experiments, made
some years ago for a physiological object, when he measured
the actual wind-pressure employed for the production of notes
on each instrument in every part of its register. He then ex¬
hibited the apparatus employed, consisting of a simple water-
gauge, connected with a tine india-rubber tube; and illustrated
its use himself. The extreme height (about six feet) to which
the water can be raised by a forced expiration into a tube
placed between the lips measured their strength, inasmuch as
they are forced to yield long before the expiratory effort fails.
The instrument is connected' with the chest by introducing a
small bent glass tube into the angle of the mouth. The per¬
former is then placed with his back to the gauge, and directed
to sound in succession all the principal notes on his instrument.
As soon as the tone becomes firm and even the height oi the
column of water is noted down. Dr. Stone exhibited a
table of the resnIts obtained from many experiments, which
showed that the clarinet stands apart from other instruments in
requiring a stronger pressure for the lower than for the higher
no'es. In most cases the pressure noted was very small
an.I certainly not c;deulated to injure the lungs. The
latter part of the lecture was devoted to the history
and description of the various kinds of wind-instruments

LI! fK m ! he 1 ? cluri,I ?8 , the flute, flageolet, oboe or

<r°\bly the classical tibia), the clarinet, the French
born, the trombone, and the bassoon. Dr. Stone expressed his
regret that several forms of the last two had fallen mto disuse
and^Tl«? at i 6 endeavoured to reinstate them!

6 f. xhlblt . ed a, . ld sounded a double bassoon.
The charming illustrations given in the course of the lecture

began with a quintet for wind-instruments alone by Reicha •
this was followed by a flute solo by Kuhlau (giveu by Mr!
Rockstro), an oboe solo by Barret (given by Mr. G. Horton), &
concerto for clarinet by Mozait (given by Mr Liz.iruaj. a
sonata by Beethoven for the French horn (by Mr. 1* letober),
aud a concerto tor the bassoon by B» ethoveii; all the its pieo#,’
except the flute solo, had a pianoforte ac mmpanimen*: by Mr!
H. R. Bird. In the performance of th^se difficult pUfctn,
nearly all seldom heard, the artists well sustained their,
deserved reputation.

In reference to the communication from Dr. W. J. Fitzpatrick
respecting the Galileo documents, given in our last week'*
Number, page 593, Mr. Sedley Taylor requests us to state, f. lt
his authority, that the trial-record in question is now m the
Vatican Library—or, at any rate, was there in 1S67, when M.
Henri de l’Epinois was allowed to copy the greater part of it,
which he published in the Revue dee Questions Jfistorirjues f.,r
that year. Mr. Taylor’s reason for urging publication in f ae .
simile is that there are strong reasons for thinking that
a particular entry in the record is a fabrication, and that
a paleographic examination of the original or of a transcript
might go far to settle this point, on which, in fact, the whole
trial turns.

OBITUAEY OF EMINENT PERSONS.

SIR EDMUND BECKETT, BART.

Sir Edmund Beckett, fourth Barouet, of Somerby Park, in the
county of Lincoln, J.P and D. L., died on
the 24th inst. at his residence in Don¬
caster. He was born Jan 29, 1787, the
third son of Sir John Beckett, first Baronet,
the eminent banker of Leeds, by Mary,
his wife, daughter of Christopher Wilson,
D D., Bishop of Bristol, and succeeded to
the title at the death (ou Nov. 17, 1372)
of his brother Sir Thomas, the third
Baronet. He held for several years a
leading position in the town of Doncaster,
was M.r. for the West Riding of \ork-
shire from 1841 to 1S59, and was chair¬
man of the Great Northtrn Railway Com
pany from 1847 to 1S65. He married,
Dec. 14, IS 14, Maria, daughter of William
Beverley, Esq., ol Beverley, and assumed, in 1816, in right of
his wife—who was grandniece of Lady Denison, widow of Sir
Thomas Denison, Judge of the Common Pleas—the surname of
Denison, in lieu of that of Beckett. By that name he was sub¬
sequently known until 1872, when he retook his patronymic,
Beckett. The issue of his marriage consisted of three sons and
four daughters. Of the former, the eldest, Mr. Denison, the
eminent Q.C., now becomes Sir Edmund Beckett, fifth Baronet,
taking the surname of Beckett under the Royal license of 1S72.
He was born May 12, 1816, and is married to Fanny Catherine,
•laughter of Dr. Lonsdale, Bishop of Lichfield.

SLR J. D. MACPIIERSON.

Major-General Sir James Duncan Macpherson (of Ardersier),
K.C.B., of the Bengal army, died ou the 29th ult., at the age
of sixty-three years. He entered the Bengal Infantry in 1828,
served as Brigade Major during the Punjaub campaign of
1848-9, and was, from 1852 to 1858, Military Secretary to the
Government of the Punjaub. He was Quartermaster-General
in Bengal in 1858 and 1859, and was in command of the Dina-
pore and Agra Brigades from 1862 to 1864 In the latter year
he became Commissary-General of the Bengal army, which
office he held till 1868, vacating it in consequence of his
promotion to the rank of Major-General. He was made C.B.
in 185S, and K.C.B. in 1873. Sir James married, 1840, Mary,
daughter of Lieutenant-General Kennedy, C.B.

SIR THOMAS ROSS.

Sir Thomas Ross, Kt., of Dardistown Castle, in the county of
Meath. Captain (retired list) R.N., died at Pan, France, on the

Ross, Esq., of Ro«8fort, in the county of Cork, by Anne, bis
wife, daughter of John Attridge, Esq., of Greenmount, in the
same county. Ross entered the Royal Navy in 1812,
and was successively employed in cruising on the coasts
of Norway and Denmark, on the coast of Africa, and
on the Brazilian and West Indian stations. On his
return he was appointed to the coastguard in the county of
Kent. Subsequently he held the post of Inspecting Com¬
mander of the Coastguard in Ireland, and, in 1839, received
the honour of knighthood from the late Marquis of Normanby,
who was then Lord Lieutenant, for his gallant conduct in saving
lives from a wreck at Malahide the previous year. He became
Captain on the retired list April 1, 1850. Sir Thomas married,
April 29, 1835, Anna Maria, daughter of George French, Esq.,
Q.C. (cousin to Lord De Freyne), and had five children.

France, on Oct. 9 last, was proved on the 22nd ult. by Sir
Robert Charles Dallas, Bart., and Edward Richard Meade, the
acting executors, the personal estate in England being sworn
under £180,000. There are other wills relating to his property
abroad. Testator desires that his body may be left quietly and
obscurely wherever it may have been buried in the first instance.

The will, dated Feb. 6. 1866, of Henry Smith, late of Wil-

A seam of 12 feet of coal has been discovered at a depth of
248 yards ou the Duke of Sutherland’s Trentham estate.

Reports of the illness of Garibaldi have recently been in cir¬
culation. A telegram has been received from Caprera which
states that the General is in good health.

The largest meeting of National teachers which has ever
been held in Ireland took place in Porfcadowu last Saturday.
Resolutions were passed calling upon the Government to in¬
crease the salaries, stating that no system of national education
can be complete that does not make provision for the granting
of pensions to teachers when obliged by old age or infirmity to
retire, pointing out the necessity of free residences being pro¬
vided in proximity to the schools, that a large number of
deserving persons have suffered by the late action of the Com¬
missioners in calling oft* good-service salary, and that the
restoration of this grant to those entitled to it would be but a
simple act of justice. Several grievances of a minor character
were also discussed.

Jdclm’ologi) of the Dlonth.

At the late general meeting of the London and Middlesex
Archaeological Society Mr. Penrose read a short paper on tlie
discoveries which had been made in the course of recent exca¬
vations at St. Paul’s Cathedral. Certain fragments had been
found of a Norman character in a wall plainly connected with
the existing chuvch, being parallel to its walls, whereas it is
known that the present church deviates from the direction ot
Old St. Paul’s by five or six degrees. A wall, however, has
been discovered ! which there could ho no doifbt formed a por¬
tion of the wall of the old churchyard. It appears clear that
all available materials of the old church were used in building
tho present edifice ; aud some time since, on digging into an
arch in the choir, there were found among the rubble masonry
several fragments of the old church.

There has recently l>een a supposititious discovery of docu¬
ments in Canterbury Cathedral, the real state of the case being
that certain papers which had always been known to exist (uot
in the crypt, but) in St. Andrew’s Cliapel, after having disap¬
peared in tho removal of the lloor by w hich the chapel had been
divided into an upper and a lower room, were brought to light
by Mr. J. B. Shepherd; and, having been arranged and mounted
by him, have been found to possess a value and an interest
which were not suspected when, in a former generation, they
were thrown aside as refuse. The work, which lias been sanc¬
tioned by the Historical Manuscripts Commission, does not
relate to these papers only, hut to the whole collection of docu¬
ments belonging to tho Dean and Chapter.

Mrs. J. 5 . Nichols has sent to the Archieological Institute
some original M$S., comprising a letter under the Great Seal
and Sign Manual of Edward Vl. and the Lords of the Council,
empowering the officers of the Mint at Canterbury to arrest
and retain lor their service goldsmiths and other artificers, und
to take possession of metalH and minerals. The other MSS.
were several thirteenth-century deeds relating to Ticohurst,
&c., in Sussex, with seals attached ; a commission, &c., for
the Mayor, &c., of Hastings, for the carrying of the canopy at
the coronation of Charles II. ; and a power of attorney by tho
Superiors of the town of Youghatl to give service of land there,
temp. Richard II,

xYnioug the valuable additions lately made to the British
Museum are some architectural fragments from Tel el Yalioudoh
(the mounds of the Jews), in Egypt, being the site of Vicus
Judfeorum in the Roman Itinerary, thirty Roman miles to the
north of Heliopolis. It is called Union in Claudius Ptolemy’s
Geography, and is where the Jewish high priest, Onias IV.,
built his temple to God. These fragments are some of them,
as we must suppose, part of the Jewish temple, hecauso they
are not Egyptian in style ; while some of them, hearing the
name of Ramuses III., belong to the older Egyptian temple,
which, as Josephus tells us, had gone to ruins on the spot. Tho
Jewish fragments are porcelain tiles, set as ornaments in the
bricks, and enciroling a column ou a capital.

St. Clement’s Well, or the Holy Well of St. Clement, north¬
ward of St. Clement Danes Church, has recently been filled in and
covered over with earth and rubble, in order to form part of the
foundation of the Law Courts of the future. Penitents and pil¬
grims used to visit this well .as early as the reign of St. Ethelred.
Fitzstephen speaks of its waters as “sweet, salubrious, and
clear, ami whose runnels murmur over the shining stones;”
whither the scholars used to saunter from Westminster in the
summer evenings, when as yet the Strand was a country road,
with noble mansions on each side.

Dr. Barlow, in a communication to the Builder , demonstrates
that the parish church of Newington, Surrey, shortly about to
be razed to the ground, since the Norman Conquest has never
chauged its situation.

Fragments of the ancient Abbey of Paisley have lately
been brought to light — viz., a portion of the south wall, 19 ft.
in length by 30 ft. in height Tho abbey, one of the finest
specimens of Gothic architecture in the west of Scotland
(twelfth century), is believed to have been long a Royal burial
place.

Recent excavations on the site of the old Parliament chapel
at Nottingham prove that the manufacture of pottery was
carried on at a much earlier date than is generally supposed.
In and near some* old kilns have been found jars, jugs, and
il.it-bottomed pots of mediaeval manufacture, and all ot a red
clay body, with the upper outside covered with green salt-
glaze. Other kilns ami fragments of encaustic tiles, with coats
of arms and inscriptions, have also been found; and Mr.
Sulley, in tho Nottingham Guardian, is of opinion that the
works existed in the fourteenth century.

Fragments of ancient British Kent have been discovered
near Suodland, “on the summit of a steep hank, where several
stones of a large size appear to have formed an oval ring, on
the north-east side of which are some outlying stones, as is the
case with so many of our British circles. The man.iters of
the oval would seem to have been from 40 ft. to fill it., but
there are—so closely adjoining it as to suggest the possi¬
bility of their having been constructed with the stones of the
oval — the remains of a large sepulchral chamber; and
several stones, which no doubt formed part of one or other
of these monuments, are scattered at the foot of the hank.” —
Builder.

Fragments of ancient British Leicester have been found
between the site of the Old Nag’s Head and the Peacock Inn
at the end of Peacock-lane. Included in the range of build¬
ings were the house of the Master of Wigs ton’s Hospital,
dating from about the reign of Henry VIII. ; the old Nag’s
Head, built in the reign of Charles I. ; ami several brick
houses, in all probability erected in the reign of George I. or
George II ; and others of succeeding periods.

The ecclesiastical ruins on the Rock of Casliel are tho only
ancient remains which have as yet constituted national monu¬
ments under tho twenty-fifth section of the Irish Church Act.
For their preservation a sum of £71,000 has been vested in
Government funds.

According to tho latest news from Atheus, the Judges re¬
jected, on May 15, the demand of the Turkish Government for
one half of the treasure which Dr. Schliemann discovered at
Hissariik and conveyed to Athens. The arrangement now
come to seems to he (the 7’imes says) that Dr. Bchliemann is to
employ 100 to 150 labourers for three or four months at
Hissariik, and that whatever is found by them is to be the
property of the Turkish Government. In the mean time the
Turkish Government has not been inactive. The large slabs
on tlie road, whichfwere discovered at Hissariik, at a depth of
30 ft., have been removed, and below that pavement a much
more ancient pavement of large chalk-stone slabs has now been
brought to lignt. Those who believe that there must he some
kind of historical foundation for all mythological and epic
poetry will have to assign this now stratum to Laomedon,
Priam's father, whose llion was destroyed by Hercules, “ with
only six ships aud fewer men.”

Among the bibliographical treasures in Sir William Tito’s
sale was a copy of *‘Joe Miller’s Jests, or the Wit’s Vade
Mecum,” first edit., 1739, sold for £7 15s. Mr. Darnel’s copy
brought £6 15s.

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS.

LONDON, SATURDAY, JUNE 13, W£

“ In tlie name of the Prophet—Figs 1 ” Many of our
readers will probably have been reminded of this cry of
the hawker of Constantinople, as given by one of the
writers of the now almost forgotten “Rejected Addresses,”
by Mr. Disraeli's foreshadowing, on Monday last, of the
remaining work of the Session. They must, no doubt,
have felt themselves tickled to laughter in the last case,
as they have often been as to the first, by the solemnity
of the prefatory announcement, as contrasted with the
insignificance of the facts. There was something
artistically dramatic in the manner aud tone with
which the leader of the House of Commons
sought to impress uj)on the minds of hon. members
on both sides the magnitude and worth of the
legislative labour which would have to be crowded
into the last two months of the Session. Some time
last week the right hon. gentleman made a mysterious
reference to seven great measures which it was the desire
of the Government to push to completion before the recess .
After allowing a sufficient interval of time to elapse during
which wonder might stimulate the curiosity of Parliament
and of the public, he made for himself an oppor¬
tunity, on Monday evening, of tracing out, bsfore
an astonished House, the heights and depths, the
lengths and breadths, of the gigantic enterprise upon
which he invited it to enter. Until quite recently,
it was taken for granted that her Majesty’s Govern¬
ment would — for the present Session , at least—
devote themselves chiefly to silence and consideration.
The public may be said to have accepted the programme
with favour. But now, having shot by Easter, anl got'
to the other side of Whitsuntide, the House of Commons
is made suddenly aware that before it is prorogued for
the long vacation, which event it had fondly expected
would be considerably earlier tlian usual this year,
uncommon assiduity will be demanded from it till,
perhaps, the middle of August, in order that seven
measures of primary importance, and several others
which Mr. Disraeli can hardly describe a3 secondary,
may be ripened into legislative fruit during the hot days
and sultry nights of the present midsummer.

Members of the House of Commons who have had
experience of the real hard work of the last five Sessions
will have seen, as soon as they come to estimate in de¬
tail the amount and kind of legislation with which they
were called upon to grapple, that there was no great
necessity for them to recoil in terror from tho prospect.
Magnitude is a comparative term; and what is some¬
times described, with deep solemnity of tone and with
great grandiloquence of words, as a thing of Large pro¬
portions, occasionally shrinks, when closely examined,
into very moderate limits. What, then, are the
seven bills of first-class importance likely to engage
the attention of the House for the next two months ?
There is the Licensing Bill, which is merely an amend¬
ment of the Act passed last year, and which is already
far advanced towards completion ; there Is the Friendly
Societies Bill, which, alter all, is but a preparatory
measure, in regard to the provisions of which no gre.it
difference of opinion can be expected; there is tho
Factories Bill, the passing of which beCore Parliament
rises is extremely problematical; there is the Luid
Transfer Bill, which is but a small measure, though cer¬
tainly not a trivial one; there is the Judicature Bill,
which is only supplementary to the Act of last Session >
there is the Rating and Valuation Bill, which i3 a re¬
production of what the House matured and passed
through all its stages last year; and there is tho
Scotch Church Patronage Bill, which may b3 sail
to consist of nine ckiuses embodying one prin¬
ciple. Besides these measures, there are several
others — altogether, we believe, ten in number—
the titles of which we really need not transcribe, ana
concerning the fate of which the public takes but little
care. Then there are three topics of discussion which
cannot be lightly passed over—the Education vote, the
Supplementary vote, connected with the new constitu¬
tion of the Gold Coast, and the vote for the Post OSc®
and Telegraphs. “ We have therefore,'’ said the Prim-
Minister, “ seventeen bills of grqat interest aud import,
and three occasions ou which considerable expression of
Parliamentary opinion is not only expected, but wlU un¬
doubtedly be given.” And, to crown all, there is thJ

551

JUNE 13, 1874

THE ILLUSTRATED LON DON NEWS

bill, which is not a Government measure, introduced
by the Archbishop of Canterbury, affecting the Church.

Do we contemplate with derision these Legislative
projects 1 By no means. They constitute what it is
possible to regard as a fair body of useful legislation.
But one of two things may be predicated concerning
them. Either they are not measures “ of primary im-
jortance,” in the sense conveyed by Mr. Disraeli’s
h nguage—that is to say, they are not likely to tax to
j. i y overpowering extent the time and labour of the
I! ouse, or they will not be placed upon the Statute Book
in this present year. Let it be borne in mind that we
;.ie now well on towards the middle of June. After the
e< n mencement of July it has been found all but impos¬
sible to keep more than a minority of members from an-
ticipatingfor themselves the close of the Session. There
aie still some Legislative Acts, not adverted to by
Mr. Disraeli, that must be passed. It is true that
Tuesdays, normally consecrated to the motions of private
members, are henceforth to be at the disposal of the
Government. It may be taken for granted that morning
sittings will be instituted twice a week from the beginning
of next month. It may be apprehended that tho labours
of hon. members will be prolonged pretty frequently into
the {-mall hours of the morning. All this may suffice to
dispatch a considerable list of minor measures, the object
of which is social, and the difference of opinion relating
to Ihe provisions oi which is not great. Where there is
no commanding policy to be given effect to, bills pass
through their several stages in Parliament with great
rapidity towards the close of a Session. We cannot
detect in the long catalogue of Government measures
any one aiming at the introduction of a doubtful
and disputable policy, with the exception of the Factories
Bill and the Friendly Societies Bill. All the rest may
be got through without drawing too largely upon the
persistent toil of the House. If not, the probabilities
are that they will not be got through at all. Mi*. Disraeli
is to be commended for striving to avoid a “ Massacre of
the Innocents.” That would be an event scarcely suited
to the leisurely progress of the Session. But he need
not, in his anxiety to escape one extreme, have fallen
into another. As is sometimes the case with him, he
has overacted his part. Nothing which can now be
accomplished can make the present Session memorable
for legislative industry, fruitfulness, or even discussion.
It is a pause—and no true representation of the case
can make it notably cither more or less.

ME. FEANCE AND THE EXPLOSIVES
COMMITTEE.

The article “ Sketches in Parliament,” in our last Num¬
ber, contained a paragraph relating to the proceedings
on the appearance of Mr. E. S. France at the bar of the
House on an alleged breach of privilege. That gentle
man has written to us complaining that such article
injuriously reflects upon him when at the bar, and also
imputes to him that, as an inventor, he had a pecuniary
interest in writing the letter which the House considered
w as a breach of privilege. We cannot concur in the con¬
st iuction placed by Mr. France upon our article, but at
the same time we think it right to say that it was not
i lit ended to reflect upon his conduct at the place
mentioned or to impute to him that he had a
pecuniary interest in writing the letter. Further,
Mr. France informs ns that he is not an “ inventor,”
and we, therefore, willingly withdraw the term. We
leara, and are happy to state, also, that Mr.
France is not in any way pecuniarily interested in any
explosive, although, as an act of courtesy, he has allowed
a War-Office Committee and others to carry out experi¬
ments with explosives in his quarries.

THE COURT.

q he Queen, with Princess Beatrice, has made various excur¬
sions during the week on Deeside, having visited the Linn of
Quoieh and other picturesque localities. Her Majesty and the
Princess attended Divine service on Sunday last, at Cratkie
church. The Rev. A. Campbell, of Crathie, officiated. The
Earl of Malmesbury dined with the Queen, and left Balmoral
the following day. The Duchess Dowager of Athole, who was
in waiting on her Majesty, communicated to the Queen the
melancholy intelligence of the death of her brother-in-law.
Lord James Murray, on the 2nd inst. Lord James had long
and faithfully served the Queen and the Duchess of Kent. He
was Equerry to the Duchess from 1846 to 1861, and after her
death was appointed Groom in Waiting to her Majesty. The
Duchess Dowager of Athole left the castle, and was succeeded
by the Countess of ErrolL Miss Macgregor has also left
EaimoraL

By command of the Queen a state concert was given on
Wednesday, at Buckingham Palace. The Prince and Princess
of Wales, attended by their suite, arrived at the palace from
Marlborough House, escorted by a detachment of Horae Guards.
Ihe Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, the Duke of Connaught,
Prince and Princess Christian of Schleswig-Holstein, Princess

THE CORBIERE LIGHTHOUSE, JERSEY.

A lighthouse has been erected on the dangerous rocks known
as La Corbi&re, off the south-west extremity of Jersey. The
excavation for the tow r cr was commenced last June, the
masonry was completed early in December, and the light was
exhibited on the 1st inst. These rocks are separated from the
mainland at high water by a channel one third of a mile wide,
and from 16 ft. to 20 ft. in depth. The lighthouse tower is of
concrete, formed in sUfi, so as to produce a structure which is
in effect a monolith. The light is 135 ft. above the mean sea
level, and is visible in clear weather from a distance of nineteen
miles. Provision lias been made for illuminating two dangerous
patches of submerged rocks, close to the coast, with a red
light, so that the mariner may have due warning that he
is approaching the dangerous shoals. In foggy weather a bell
w ill be ruug by automatic machinery at half-minute intervals.
The illuminating apparatus consists of one of Messrs. Chance’s
dioptric lenses, of the typo usually supplied by them to the
Trinity Board. In addition to the lighthouse, a naif-tide cause¬
way has been constructed from the mainland to the rock, and
two cottages are built for the accommodation of the light-
keepers. The lighthouse was formally handed over to the
Jersey authorities by the eneincer*in-chief, Sir John Coode,
and the resident engineer, Mr. Imrie Bell, on Monday week. The
completed work was pronounced highly satisfactory in all re¬
spects. The expeditious performance of this work is due, in

f reat part, to the use of concrete as the material for the tower,
t is the first, but assuredly will not be the last, work of its
kind executed in this excellent constructive material. Many
lives and much property might have been saved had this useful
design l een carried out at an earlier date. Coming at a late
period, however, the light will be hailed by marinera frequent
mg the Channel Islands and the adjacent parts of the French
coast ns a great benefit, warning them away from one of the
most dangerous spots round the island of Jersey. Our view of
the CoibRre Lighthouse is from a sketch by Mr. Charles W.
Law, an artiet resident in Jersey. The signal staff on the hill,
which may be remarked in this view, m that of La Moye. It
serves to announce to Fort Regent, at a distance of six miles,
the approach of any ship to the island.

“A SHADY NOOK.”

In the torrid weather wo are now feeling wo could hardly
select a more pleasant subject for an art-illustration than that
of the picture by Hen* P. Rumpf, of Dusseldorf, which w©
have engraved from a reproduction by the Berlin Photographic
Company. Two young ladies, sweet and engaging, as well as
pretty, and with a touch of sentiment in their expression,
dressed in loose summer toilettes, are seated beneath the shade
of the full summer foliage, in a spot where the luxurious vege¬
tation and wild flowers tell of rural seclusion and repose. The
quietude of this nook is only broken by the song of birds, and
the voice of the fair reader a3 she melodiously recites some
pastoral poem in the nature, let us suppose, of Thomson’s
“Seasons.” All this, we say, is pleasant and refreshing to
those, except, perhaps, tho maddest of the “ mad votaries of
fashion,” who are condemned to dwell in towns in the middle
of June. But there is “a shady nook” to be found yet in
Kensington Gardens.

American papers received on Monday publish a letter ad¬
dressed by the foreign Minister of Guatemala to Mr. Scholefield,
her Majesty’s Charge d’Affaires, relative to the outrage on Mr.
Magee. It exposes on behalf of the Government sorrow and
indignation at “ the deplorable affair,” and assures Mr. Scholc-
field that the authors of the criminal act will be punished with
all the rigour of the law. It is stated that Mr. Magee had been
effered £10,000 compensation, but he preferred to leavo tho
case in the hands of his Government.

A large and influential meeting on the subject of patronage
ar.d disestablishment in the Church of Scotland was held at
Aberdeen, on Tuesday, in the Music-hall buildings. Lord
Provost Leslie presided. Mr. Greig, from Edinburgh, addressed
the meeting. On the motion of Mr. W. Henderson, of Devaua,
it was resolved to form an association to promote disestablidi-
msnt, and to petition Parliament against the Patronage Bill as
most unsatisfactory, and not at all fitted to heal the divisions,
in Scotland. Lord Provost Leslie, Mr. G. Thompson, and Mr.
G. Webster, advocate, were appointed presidents of the new
association. It was agreed to hold another meeting with a view
of explaining the nature of the Patronage Bill. A meeting of
a like kind was held at Arbroath on Monday evening—Mr. David
Corsar, of the Elms, presiding.

THE FAMINE IN INDIA : THE VILLAGE WELL.

THE VILLAGE WELL IN INDIA

It is computed that, during the last forty years, above ten
millions of people in India have died from the want of water—
that is to say, not by thirst, but hunger and disease or weak¬
ness caused by the want of food, to the production of which
irrigation is needful. This terrible statement we find but too
much ground for believing, with the recent experiences of the
famine now felt in Bengal and that of Orissa m 1867. To aid
the study of this painful subject, we can recommend two or
three late publications. One is a lecture 44 On the Impending
Indian Famine,” delivered by Sir Battle Frere to the
Society of Arts, in December. It forms a small volume,
with three maps, published by Mr. Murray and by Messrs.
H. S. King and Co. We cannot, upon this occasion,
review the whole discussion treated by Sir Bartle Frere
with consummate knowledge, benevolence, and judgment,
lie remarks, however, that 41 in no other way can
money be so advantageously expended, with a view to future
production and cheap supply, as in groat works of irrigation
and internal navigation. This he considers “the greatest
safeguard of India againBt famine in time to come.” A
pamphlet read, about the same period, to the East India Asso¬
ciation, by Mr. W. Tayler, late Commissioner of Patna, fully
bears out the view taken by Sir Bartle Frere; with extracts
from the reports of Sir Arthnr Cotton upon the results in agri¬
cultural economy gainod by the Cauvery works, in the south ;
by the Godavery works, and those of the Kistna ; and expected
from those of Die Madras Company at Toombuddra, those of
Orissa, the Soane, the Ganges, and the Baree I)oab. In answer
to the question, Will it pay ? Sir Arthur Cotton has this to
state— 44 That the produce of an acre of rice, 12001b., at the
famine price of l£d., would be 75 rupees, nearly twice the cost
of the most expensive of these works, aud eight times that of the
cheapest, leaving out the question of life ana death to both man
and cattle.” Another little book is published by Mr. Stanford,
entitled 41 Waterways or Bailway s? or, The Future of India.” Its
author. Lieutenant-Colonel F. Tyrrell, shows that the seven great
irrigation and canal works of India hitherto constructed, at a
total cost of five millions and a quarter sterling, yield an annual
return of nearly £1,400,000. Meanwhile railways to the extent
of 6000 miles, which are unsuited to the habits and wants of
the people, have been constructed by an outlay of £93,000, and
the result is a yearly loss of working expenses to the amount
£1,5(K),000, which is made up to shareholders by the Indian
Government; and three millions sterling has been added to the
public debt. About thirty millions was paid for iron
retched from England, instead of using the iron of India.
Colonel Tyrrell explains how the configuration of the country,
its levels, "mountain raEges, and watersheds, aud the climate,
winds, and seasonable rainfall in the higher parts, supply abund¬
ance of water, if it were properly intercepted and stored up by
the works he prescribes. His plan is illustrated by a map aud
sectional diagrams ; but it has no particular application to
Bengal. Some interesting facts are mentioned to prove the
extraordinary increase of productiveness in such a climate from
biinging water upon the soil. It is a melancholy confession
that the British Government of India has allowed 30,000 tanks,
each useful in its district, to fall out of repair. The Village
Well, a sketch of which is presented in our Engraving, is de¬
sign! d rather for peisenal and household use than for agricul¬
tural purposes. But water in India is the life of the land, as
well as of the people.

FOREIGN AND COLONIAL NEWS.

FRANCE.

(From our Correspondent in Paris.)

Thursday, June 11.

The ill-advised petty tyranny of the defunct De Broglie
Cabinet—regarded by many as a foretaste of what might be
expected under the Constitutional Monarchy—and the various
mishaps of France during the last twelve months seem to have
peculiarly favoured the growth of Bonapartist pretension ; and
a few revelations with which the public has been favoured
durirg tlie past week show that of late the Imperialists have
been carrying on their propaganda actively. From a couple of
notes published by a Republican journal of Le Maun, qne
learns that M. Haentjens, the Bonapartist deputy for tlio
S&rthe, has been distributing portraits of the Prince Imperial
wholesale among his constituents, an example which it seems
is rapidly spreading throughout the country. So long as the
party limits itself to these innocent practices no one lia3 cause
to complain, but another stormy denate at Versailles has dis¬
closed some highly objectionable tactics, which help to explain
the recent unexpected success of the Imperialist candidate in
the Nievre.

M. Girerd, a member of the Extreme Left, produced, on
Tuesday, at the tribune, a most curious document—found, it
would appear, in a railway-carriage, and bearing the inscription
‘ 4 Ccmitd Central de BAppel au Peuple ” as heading. There
was no address save the enigmatical words, 44 Note pour L. B.
17 ; ” the signature, moreover, was illegible; but at the
bottom, in the left-hand corner, was the imprint of a stamp on
which figured the Imperial eagle. M. Girerd read, amidst
profound silence, this curious document, which enjoined the
recipient 4 ‘to recommend all our friends, especially those
invested with municipal or administrative functions, to con¬
centrate their efforts upon obtaining for M. de Bourgoing the
support of the retired officers and others resident in the
Nicvre,” and went on to promise the same officers and
u others” commands in tlio projected territorial army aud
•other posts and favours. “Take note, also,** added the
memorandum, 44 of all who are hostile, or even indifferent.”
Then, at the end, came an important phrase formally
incriminating one of the members of the Cabinet:— 44 In¬
closed is a list of all the officers paid by the tax-receiver
of the Nievre, which has been furnished by the Finances.”
M. Girerd having asked if the Government were aware of
the existence of this 44 Committee of Appeal to the People,”
the Minister of Justice replied that they were not, aud added
that he had issued a circular prescribing immediate inquiries
concerning it. M. Rouher, the Bonapartist leader, then
mounted the tribune; but, owing to the rulos of tlio Assembly,
the Chamber had to authorise him by vote to speak. Ho
indignantly repudiated any knowledge of the circular, and even
insinuated that it was a forgery; remarks which elioited a
powerful rejoinder from Gambetta, who called attention to the
last phrase of the memorandum, and expressed the hope that
M. Magne would never sit any more as a Minister in that
Assembly. A second and very abusive speech from M. Rouher
followed, and then General de Cissey made a brief and very
unnecessary defence as Minister of War. Next came M.
Gambetta, this time to answer certain personal remarks in¬
dulged in by the ex-Vice-Emperor. The Radical orator had
evidently lashed himself into a state of fury, and in the course
of his remarks he applied the epithet of 44 misdrabies” to the
ronapartists, for Which 4 4 propoB outrageaut” the President
< ailed him to order; whereupon, tu<niiqg to his followers, the

ex-Dictator rejoined, 44 It is certain that the word I have made
use of is more than an outrage : it is a branding ! —a declara¬
tion wbicb was received with vehement applause by the Deft,
and procured for M. Gambetta a second call to order, lne
Assembly ultimately separated, amidst great agitation.

In spite of the excessive heat, which rather predisposes to
somnolence, all the discussions in the Assembly this week have
been more or less* tumultuous. M. Ledru Rollings speech m
defence of universal suffrage, which showed that the once
famous tribune had outlived his reputation, drew forth a per¬
fect storm of interruptions from the Right, which led the
Bpeaker to give some curious and interesting explanations con¬
cerning the more famous incidents in his eventful career. MM.
Louis Blanc and Gambetta, who pleaded for the same cause,
were listened to more quietly and attentively, and secured
signal oratorical triumphs, the whole of the Left—Thiersists and
Radicals alike—crowding round M. Louis Blanc as he quitted
the tiibune to congratulate him on his eloquent display.
Nevertheless the second reading of the new Electoral Law Bill
was voted, mainly through the intervention of M. Dufaure 4 by a
majority of 75. The bill regulating municipal elections was
read the second time on Monday, and, after a lengthy but
interesting debate, the first article was voted by a majority of
nearly 200. The discussion was resumed on Tuesday, when
MM. Brisson, Jules Ferry, and Ernest Picard successively
attacked the provisions of article 2, which regulates the recla-
mations of electors whose names happen to be omitted in the
electoral lists. Their arguments appear^ to. have in some
measure influenced the Right, the majority in favour of the
article being only 25 votes out of 6S9. By a decision of the
Chamber yesterday, the right of voting in the municipalities
has been retained for all citizens who have reached the age of
twenty-one. , _

Great efforts have been made this week by the Right
Centre—or De Broglie gronp of the Assembly—to effect an
alliance with certain waverers of the Left Contre, but they
have proved abortive. Tbe Right Centre ofiored to support
the Republic provisionally until the close of the Septennate,
but tbe Left Centre has unanimously rejected these offers, and
voted a resolution in favour of the definitive proclamation of
the Republic.

We have had a remarkably brilliant fftte in the Champs
Elys^es—a kind of fancy fair, in which a large number of
Parisian Elegantes, the majority of them en toilettes cosfcumdes,
took part: Princess de Mefctemich and Countess de Ponrtalds
presiding over a tombola; Baroness Rothschild and Marchioness
ae Las Alarismas selling bonbons ; A iscountess Agnado, beer ;
Madame Abel Laurent, cigars; Madame Flainant, gingerbread ;
and Countess de Mercy Argenteau assuming the office of flower-
girl. All those well-worn amusements which figure at the
flutes in the environs of Paris were provided, and the grounds
of the Concert Besselidvre, where the gathering was held, were
crowded. The receipts, which were very considerable, bavo
been remitted to the Prefet of the Seine for the relief of the
Parisian poor.

A diplomatic dinner was given on Tuesday, at the American
Embassy, to the Duke Decazcs, French Minister of Foreign
Affairs/ It was attended by all the Ambassadors and most of
the Ministers in Paris.

SPAIN.

The Minister for Foreign Affairs has sent a circular to the
diplomatic representatives of Spain abroad, stating that the
Government will use every effort to restore order to Spain and
teiminate the war with the Carlist and Cuban insurgents.

Mr. Caleb Cushing and Marshal Serrano have exchanged
speeches on tbe presentation of credentials by the new American
Minister. . t

Orders have been issued by the Minister of the Intenov for
the enrolment of the conscripts of the last levy to be proceeded
with at once.

The Carlists under Don Carlos’s brother, Prince Alfonso,
and General Cucala have suffered a severe repulse. They were
routed near Gandesa, Aragon, 8000 strong, by Generals
Despujols and Delatre. Dona Blanca was present at the
engagement, which lasted five hours. The Carlists had eighty
killed and thirty prisoners, comprising a leader and several
officers. They also lost a flag. The Carlists, in order to allow
the country people to sow their land, have suspended the
blockade of Fontarabia and Irun. The Carlists officially
state that they have 101 battalions of troops in the field,
composed of men from various provinces, and that their
cavalry numbers 3000. In obedience to Carlist . orders, the
Tarragona Railway Company has discontinued its trains to
ViRnfranca. A Carlist band has entered the town of Badalona
in Catalonia, and carried off some of the inhabitants as
hostages. From Santander it is stated that Marshal Concha
has recovered from a slight indisposition ; and the Republican
forces are now marching towards Tafalla. The Carlist lines
extend frem Estella to the Arga Valley.

ITALY.

The King has conferred the collar of the Order of the
Annunziata upon Signor Minghetti.

The Senate has approved of the monetary convention with
France, Belgium, and Switzerland ; the treaty of commerce
with Mexico; and the postal convention with Brazil. On
Thursday week there was a discussion on the subject of finance.
General Cialdini moved a resolution in favour of postponing the
Fortifications BUI till the country should be in a better position
for carrying out its enactments. He made this proposal on the
understanding that the Government would not indefinitely
postpone the bill. Signor Minghotti said the Ministry had not
finally abandoned any of the army or public works bills, and the
motion of General Cialdini was accepted almost unanimously.
General Menabrea spoke against postponing the Fortifications
Bill. Parliament was prorogued sine die.

The Tope is better, but stUl suffers from slight attacks of
fever. Last Saturday ho received Mgr. Guibert, the Archbishop
of Paris, who talked to him for a long time on the condition of
France. Mgr. Guibert at the same time handed to his Holiness
a sum of 150,000f.

On Tuesday the Pope received the American pUgrims, about
200 in number. He spoke with great hopefulness of the
prospects of Catholicism in the New World. One of the pil¬
grims read an address in Latin, and another an address in
French. Pius IX., in reply, said that the presence of the pil-
grims was a proof of the triumph of the Church, which, not¬
withstanding its persecutions, was rapidly advancing aU over
tlio world. Some valuable presents, including considerable
sums of money, were then offered to his Holiness.

splendid effect by the children, with the assistance of the choir.

In consecrating a new church at Blackburn on Monday,
the I ishop of Manchester preached a sermon in which he de¬
nounced all vested interests in pews as being opposed to the

Lord’s supper.

satisfactory account of the state of education in the diocese.

The new Church of Sfc. Augustine, Pendlebury, the fifth
that has been erected in the neighbourhood within the la3t
sixteen years, was consecrated by the Bishop of Manchester last
week. It has been built at the sole expense of Mr. E. Stanley
Heywood, and it is thought that it must have cost befcweeu
£20,000 and £30,000. It was designed by Messrs. Bodley and
Garner, and it is in every respect a magnificent structure, being
in the style of the fourteenth century. The stained windows,
which are from the works of Messrs. Burlison and Grylls, of
Newman-street, are of unusual excellence.

When the Dean and Chapter, a few years back, took in
hand the work of restoring Rochester Cathedral, under the
skilful guidance of Sir Gilbert G. Scott, there was a great
amount of work to be done. They have accomplished a portion
cf it, to the great improvement of the building, and have spsnt
upwards of £10,OC<) in doing it, while Dr. Griffith, formerly a
Canon, and Mrs. Griffith, have provided £3000 for the restora¬
tion of the interior fittings of the choir. Bat here the work
must stop unless the public will contribute funds, those at the
disposal of the Dean aud Chapter being exhausted. Sir G.
Fcctt estimates that the work of restoration still urgently
needed will cost £17,000.

number of years in his own parish in cue of tho ways which
came within the scope of their operations—namely, as a teacher
on Sundays of an adult class of young men. Tho annual report

posals that had been submitted by the council of King’s College,

“WHO COMES?”

In this picture a little romance seems to be suggested. Tho
costume carries us back to the fifteenth or early in the six¬
teenth century, when the liberty of the young girls of the
period wao much more circumscribed than it is now. How is
it, then, that this evidently highborn damsel is found at this
lonely place at approaching dusk, unattended save by hor
canine protector, mid with an expression so anxiously ex¬
pectant? Is it not that this is the trysting-place, that she
awaits a knightly lover who has been detained by some mis¬
adventure, or be surely would have been the first on the spot ?
Cut i omeone approaches. Is it he ? or is it a relative inimical
to the lovers ? or is it merely some idle marplot ? The moment
is obviouply one of intense interest to the fair maiden herself,
though there is little fear as to her personal safety with that
noble dog at her side. We nm9t, however, leave it to the
reader to weave the incident represented into a story according
to his own fancy. The picture, which is exhibited at the
French Gallery, is by M. F. A. Kaulbach, a nephew of the
illustrious German artist of that name.

Princess Louise is to present the prizes this (Saturday) after¬
noon at the flower show of the People’s Garden Clnb at
Willesdcn, a charming place of summer resort, after the style
of the German volksgarten.

The Judges of the Irish Court of Common Pleas having
been equally divided respecting the merits of the case drawn up
for them as affecting tho Drogheda election, the matter was
consequently remitted to the decision of Mr. Justice Barry,
who tried tho petition. On Monday ho gave judgment,
declaring that the election was a pure and free one, aud that
the secrecy of the Ballot Act had not been violated. He
accordingly certified Dr. O’Leary, the sitting member, to have
been duly elected.-The Conservatives of Denbigh have sub¬

scribed £1100 for the Hon. George T. Kenyon, the defeated
candidate at the last election, towards defraying Iris expanses.

-Lord Kensington was on Thursday returned unopposed for

the Haverfordwest Boroughs. Petitions have been lodged
against the return of Mr. Dorington, the Conservative member,

day, in the appeal of Lady VVestbury from tho decision <5 f the

that it was not the intention of the testator that hii daughter-
in-law (the appellant) should take £400 a year in addition t>

husband, and their children, until the expiration ot live years

Vice-Chancellor Mai ins gave judgment, last Saturday, in tie
case of the “ Corporation of Hastings v. I vail,” ia which tYi
plaintiffs asked for an injunction to restrain the defendant
from spoiling the seashore at Hastings by making large excava¬
tions therein, aud carting away tho soil. The defendant denied
that the Corporation had any title to the seashore, but tbev
insisted that at a very remote period the Crown had constitute l
them owners of the shoro at Hastings. The cas? was argual
at groat length several weeks ago. His Honour hold that ths
evidence proved the plaintiffs’ title, and he granted a perpetu il
injunction against the defendant.

In the case of “Ogden v. Benass,” affecting the liability of
bankers for the amount of cheques paid on forged indorsements,
Mr. Justice Keatiug delivered judgment on Tuesday. On the
principle that the drawer had a right to get back his money
from hands into which it had improperly passed, ha decided
that a verdict must be entered for the plaintiff. Tho defendants
were money changers in Liverpool, who got the cheque cashed
by their London agents, and paid it to a man who indorsed tho
cheque “Vincent Willis.” His Lordship held that the plaintiff*
had a right to demand back his money from them, seomg that
it had improperly come into their hands.

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS

JUNE 13, 1874

THE YARKUND MISSION.

Several Illustrations have lately been given, from sketches by
Captain E. F. Chapman, RA., of the diplomatic expedition of
Mr. T. Douglas Forsyth and his party to the sequestered East
Turkish count re of Yarkund and Kashgar, beyond the Kara¬
korum or Tsui; Ling mountain ranges, north of Middle Thibet
and Cashmere. The Mohammedan potentate who rules that
country, since ts revolt against the Chinese Empire some
twelve years ag , is now entitled Yakoob Khan Ameer, by a
special finnan fi >m the Sultan of Turkey, instead of his former
title, which was Yakoob Beg Atalik Ghazeh. He has agreed
to a commercial treaty with the British Government of India ;
but the mercantile and political connections of Russia, -which
are strong at Kashgar, will probably stand in the way of its
complete execution. The Chinese Government, too, has lately
invaded the territories which were so long under its dominion,
and this attempt of reconquest, in the north-east, may interfere
with the establishment of a peaceful trade on the British Indian
side. We present, meantime, a view of the city of Kashgar;
and one of the valley of the Shyok river, which is a tributary
of the Upper Indus, north of Ladak or Middle Thibet. It was
in Decernoer that the British diplomatic mission arrived at
Kashgar, haring first stayed three weeks at Yarkund. Their
toilsome journey to Yarkund, from the Indus valley up the
Shyok and over the Karakorum, took place in October, and
has been fully described. We had better, upon this occasion,
speak first of the Shyok valley, with the tremendous glaciers
above it. Captain Chapman writes to us as follows :—

The glacier system of the Shyok is a very remarkable one.
The head waters of the river spring from the great Keino Mer
de Glace, a magnificent expanse of ice,*afc the head of which
two giant peaks rear themselves to elevations approaching
28.000ft.; and within a distance of twenty miles two other
mighty glaciers feed the stream, which continues its course to
join the Indus. Each of these glaciers, the upper and lower
Kumdalun, has pushed right across the valley, the river making
a way for itself through these formidable barriers. The route
by the Shyok is only practicable during the dry season of the
autumn, when t the glacier is passed by fording through the
river its entire breadth, or during the winter, when the
frozen waters are easily traversed. In 1841 the choking of the
stream by tho downward movement of the glacier, and the
subsequent outpouring of the waters pent up in the upper
portion of the Shyok valley, caused an inundation, the effects
of which were observable at Attock, twenty-six miles from
Peshawar. Mr. Shaw’s adventures in this region are graphic¬
ally told in his book, 11 High Tartary, Yarkund, and Kashgar/’
With reference to the city of Kashgar, the capital of
Eastern Turkestan, from which Captain Chapman sent us his
sketch on Dec. 20, he writes the following particulars :—

“ The time when the present city was constructed is not
easily determined from the records. They vary in fixing the
destruction of the ancient city at dates ranging from five
centuries to two thousand years ago. Tliis event, however, is
associated with the Mogul invasion under Timour. From the
condition of the ruins of tho old citadel, where my sketch was
taken, we may believe it was replaced by the present Kashgar
in the fourteenth century of our era. Portions of the walls nnd
bastion-towers now standing lead one to picture an extensive
inclosure with very formidable fortifications, in possession of
the Cbengiz Tartars when the army of Timour came down and
laid siege to it on its northern side. If tho Turkish legend is
to be believed, the solid walls of ancient Kashgar defied tho
efforts of the invaders a whole year, and, but for tho turning
of a branch of the river Kizil, the waters of which the mighty
conqueror made use of to effect a breach, the garrison
might have resisted during an indefinite period. They
must have been brave fellows, those Chengiz Tartars,
under their leader, Ilias Khoja, if the current story of
their defence and retreat be true. When once they realised
that tho waters of the Kizil must give an entrance to their
powerful enemy, every arrangement was made for abandoning
the town, and, when all was ready, a large drum was tied to a
camel, which, with its singular load, remained to cover their
retirement. For days afterwards the noise of the drum, as the
unfortunate creature wandered about in alarm at the sound
that he caused, was such as to make the expectant Moguls
imagine that strong reinforcements had reached the town from
the south, ^t was not until the river had fairly flooded the
city that the exhaustion of the camel and the silence which
ensued gave the besiegers courage to enter. This is no story
extracted from ancient histories, but a plain rendering of the
account of the fall of ancient Kashgar, as given by an opium¬
smoking but intelligent old Kalmuck who occupies a snug little
residence in the angle of the ruin.”

THE FETTES COLLEGE, EDINBURGH.

The Fettes College, one of the most beautiful school buildings
in the kingdom, stands upon the rising ground between Edin¬
burgh and Granton. It commands a magnificent view of
Arthur's Scat, the city, and the Pentlaud Hills. The building
is an imposing and highly decorated specimen of French Gothic
architecture. It w as designed by Mr. David Bryce, R S. A. The
institution and endowment are duo to the beneficence of Sir
W illiam Fettes, a distinguished merchant of Edinburgh, who
was twice elected Lord Provost of the city, and was created a
Baronet in 1804. His only son having died early, he bequeathed
the whole of his property, amounting to about £186,000, “to
form an endowment for the maintenance and education of the
sons of parents who have died without leaving sufficient funds
for that purpose, or who from innocent misfortune during their
lives arc unable to give suitable education to their children.”
No steps towards the carrying out of this intention appear to
have been taken for several years. This w’ns probably because,
as Edinburgh was almost over-supplied with hospitals for the
education of children of indigent persona in the humbler ranks
°f life, the trustees hesitated to apply tire magnificent fund at
their disposal to tho foundation of another institution of this
class. Eventually it was decided that they would best supply
a want among the educational establishments in Scotland by
founding a college after the model of tho English public schools.
To carry out the benevolent intention of the founder, fifty boys
are provided for upon the foundation. These are effected,
w ithout restriction as to place of birth, from the sons of such
people of gentle birth as seem most to need assistance in their
education. The course of education is intended to qualify boys
for proceeding to the Universities and for professional life.
Non-foundationers are received, as at othor public schools, in
a house erected by the trustees upon the college grounds, and
placed under the care of one of the masters. An attempt has
been made to render tho relation of the house-master to his
pupils a purely moral and intellectual one. No master supplies
any of the boys in his house with provisions, and the founda¬
tioners aud non-foundationers tako their meals together in the
college hall The present number of the boys at the college is
about 170. There are several scholarships and other rew Eds
for those who proceed to the University of Edinburgh. I wo
exhibitions of £100 a year have been founded by Mr. David
Anderson, of Moredun, one of the present trustees, to enable

the holders to proceed to Oxford or Cambridge. It is said that
the trustees contemplate founding others of a similar kind out
of the college funds. Within the college grounds are a spacious
cricket-ground, gymnasium, sanatorium, and skating-pond.

MESSRS. TOOLE, PHELPS, AND MATHEWS.

Mr. J. L. Toole preceded his departure for America with a
series of performances which, when repeated in the New
World, will not only delight the hearts of our Transatlantic
brethren, but bring to himself an accession of that good for¬
tune which has invariably attended his career. “ Paul Pry,”
“The Spitalfield’s Weaver” “Wig and Gown,” and the
farce of “Ici on Parle Fran pais,” stood him and his audiences
in good stead. But we have higher remembrances of him, in
which he not only “ shone as a bright star,” having the firma¬
ment to himself, but as one of a constellation, in which he
might be measured, as to his brightness or his capacity, with
other astral wonders, and in which he did not suffer either
by contrast or comparison. We now desire to consider him in
connection with these, and wffth the Illustration accompanying
this essay on their combined merits.

The national sentiment of the principal work of the younger
Colinan, the famous comedy of '* John Bull,” has secured it a
continued existence on the English boards. It was performed
more than once at the Gaiety with the strongest cast possible
at the present time. Job Thornbury, as our readers know,
was sustained by Mr. Phelps, the Hon. Tom Shuffleton by Mr.
Charles Mathews, and Dennis Brnlgruddery by Mr. Toole.
Our Artist has presented three full-length portraits of these
gentlemen, which all will readily recognise. Opinions will
differ on the question whether these three representatives
of old comic character are equal or inferior to their
predecessors in the same parts. Comparisons are proverbially
odious, and a comparative inquiry would lead us too far afield,
and transcend our Limits. Each of these gentlemen, besides,
can afford to stand on his own merits, which, are sufficiently
obvious for general recognition. Mr. Phelps has steadily pro¬
gressed from his first arrival in town till the present hour, and,
without any necessity for visiting America or our colonies, has
gradually risen in public estimation until he has placed him¬
self at the bead of his profession. For the variety and extent
of his grasp he has not oeen excelled by any actor of any time ;
and in two or three parts he stands alone. These facts are
enough to justify his position, and will secure his name among
tho most famous in theatrical biography. Of Mr. Charles
Mathews, we can only say that for a long period he was re¬
puted as the most thoroughly finished and perfect actor on the
English stage; and, notwithstanding that circumstances have
materially altered, and that we have now many well-educated
young men who, in assuming fashionable, or drawing-room
characters, have really made a distinguished mark, Mr. Charles
Mathews still remains at the head of this class—unapproached,
perhaps unapproachable. Of Mr. Toole, public experience
commences at a later date, but his career, as we have already
said, has been singularly fortunate. He always acts with the
utmost care and attention, and is now without a rival, not only
os a low comedian, but in many characters requiring pathos and
exquisite finish.

THEATRES.

The French plays still command the stage of the Oxford-
street theatre, aud Madame Pasca has made her ddbut in “ La
Fiammina”—a drama, as it happens, of unquestionable
morality. The ethical lesson it teaches may he simply stated,
and, indeed, is as thorough a commonplace as can well be con¬
ceived—namely, “when a woman goes wrong, there is no end
to the trouble that she causes in all the relations of life.”
Madame Pasca has all the qualifications of an actress; yet,
somehow, Bhe seems to lack heart—that essential thing in the
best and most perfect acting, without which we fail to appre¬
hend the sincerity of the artist. The recognition of this gives
more pleasure to an audience than all the skill in the world,
artificially directed and coming from a doubtful source.
M. Gouget has never appeared to so great advantage as in the
character of Daniel Lambert, an artist. How in the world
came the French author to select such a name for his hero—a
name which, for an English audience, is associated with
enormous size and weight ? Another part, Lord Dudley, is also
too suggestive, and brings to mind a well-known aristocrat,
made more pointed by some references to his gallery of pictures.

The latest work of M. Lecocq was produced at the Opera
Comique, last Saturday, for the first time in Engl an d,
and in it we may distinctly trace the features of a real
op6ra comique. It is entitled “Girofld - Giroffa,” and
was admirably interpreted by the artistes engaged. M.
Mario-Widmer, M. Jolly, aud Mdlle. Luigini, as opera
bouffe singers, have never been excelled. The interest of
the piece combines comedy and grotesque incident. Madame
Luigini sustains a double part; the sisters Giroflo and Girofla
equally find in her an adequate representative—each, indeed, a
brilliant example of fine acting. In both characters she had to
sing, and won well-deserved encores. Tho music is excep¬
tionally good ;—so good that we fear almost for its popularity.
It is executed, however, by the entire Brussels company with
a style and completeness that defy competition. A large
audience assisted at the representation, and M. Lecocq had a most
cordial reception. He liaa come to London expressly to witness
the performance, and from a private box testified his acceptance
of the applause intended for him by frequent bows to the
delighted audience.

s the management have judiciously revived
Mr. John Oxenford’s four-act adaptation of Mrs. Wood’s novel
‘ East Lynne.” Miss Rose Coghlan ably sustained the two cha-
racters of Lady Isabel Carlyle and Madame Vine. Miss Bessie
Holhngshead, daughter of the manager of the Gaiety, made her
debut on the occasion as Barbara Hare, and acted with grace
and sensibility. She was decidedly successful; and, indeed,
we have the satisfaction of stating that the revival was
altogether well received.

FINE ARTS.

TIIE ROYAL ACADEMY EXHIBITION.

THE PORTRAITS, ETC.

We have not heard so many complaints of an undue nr*,
ponderance of portraits this year at Burlington House, thout-h
several of no interest, either artistic or as regards the persona
represented, might w ell have been spared. This arises, perhaps
from the fact that there are fewer works palpably and obtru!
sively bad in prominent situations. A respectable average h
more uniformly maintained ; but on the other hand there are
very few portraits indeed, besides those of ,Mr. Millais (already
re vie wed), which attain commanding excellence—which, like
the portraiture of the old masters, carry the conviction 'with
them of intense penetrative truth to individual nature, and yet
are “pictures” in the best sense of the word, anil, as such
compel warm admiration, independently of our knowledge of
interest in, or sympathy with the man, woman, or child that
happens to be presented on the canvas. Such being the test
of fine portraiture, it is evident that this is one of the very
highest, and consequently one of the most difficult, branches of
art. Historical painting of the grand * school—i.e, with life-
size figures—is indeed but a development of portrait-painting,
for no historical work of any real value w as ever vet produced
the figures in which were not individual or typical portraits.
A Royal Academy of Art is therefore justified in giving
all reasonable encouragement to portrait-painting, especially in
a school where historical painting of tho higher kind has never
taken root, and is now almost unknown. Moreover, although
few of the portraits in this collection will bear the double test
we have proposed, there are, as we have said, many ivorks of
considerable ability, and this department will bear comparison
with any other.

The absence of Mr. Richmond is, we are happy to learn , not
to be attributed to ill-health. That cause must, however, we
fear, be assigned for Mr. Knight being represented by two bust
portraits only. The style of the president, Sir Francis Grant, is
so well known that it will suffice to say that, besides minor
works, including a repetition of an earlier portrait of “Lord
Palmerston ” (11/5), he has two full-lengths, the one of Mr. T.
Brassey (324), the other of Mrs. Albert Grant (245), the latter
being the artist’s most successful effort of the year, aud equal
to anything produced in his prime. Mr. Sant, another long-
established favourite, particularly as a painter of children and
ladies, is rather unequal; but the stately and broadlyj^dated
whole-length of Mrs. Charles M. Palmer (239), and “ Peaches M
(158), well sustain his reputation. The last represents
an infant child with chubby, peachlike cheeks, standing
against a peach-laden garden-wau^ and holding two ot tho
fruit in her little hands. Mr. Wells’s principal work is
a solidly and richly painted whole^-length of Lord Selborne
(321) in his Chancellor’s robes, and with the insigma of that
high office. Portraits of Mr. Samuel Morley (664), Mr. Phillip
Worsley (25), aud Mr. J. Remington Mills (316) are also con¬
tributed by the same artist. In aiming, apparently, at greater
technical force, Mr. Wells is inclining to heaviness, both in
colour and handling ; we miss the refinement and the more deli¬
cate traits of character that were seldom wanting in earlier
works. Mr. Watts sends several bust portraits, notably
tho late J. Stuart Mill (246), a physiognomy to which the
philosopher's autobiography lends peculiar interest; the Rev.
James Martineau (51), remarkable for the gentle, philnuthropw
expression and the soft, dreamy eyes ; and Mrs. Le Strange
(44), in which the air of high-bred distinction is perfectly
caught, though the draughtsmanship is not quite satisfactory.
Mr. Watts, as usual, occupies a place apart in respect of his
works possessing some qualities rarely found except in por¬
traits of the old masters, which we prize accordingly, such as
dignity and gravity in malo heads, beauty and grace, entirely
removed from meretriciousnesa, in female portraits, together
with an avoidance of crude or garish colouring. Indeed, the
artist seems positively to dread pure colour; his hues ore broken
and degraded to an extent that isccrtainly not justified by nature.
Nor is the technical resemblance to the present aspect of the
works of the old masters thus presented more than superficial;
for, however deep the toning of Time, it always preserves a
degree of transparency unattainable by Mr. Watts’s opaque
method.

Outside the Academy we rejoice to see Mr. Ouless more than
maintaining tho high position he lias won’ within a very few
years. He, too, has been looking at the old masters, and ho
has done so intelligently. But bis works evince more directly
tho fact of his pupilage under Mr. Millais. The younger
painter's execution is, as might be expected, more painstaking
and minute ; he has not yet acquired that largeness and
suggestive freedom of style which come with long practised and
assured mastery ; but otherwise he is a worthy lollower of Mr,
Millais, and his two portraits here arc an honour to our school.
One of them is a half-length of Mr. W. Sale (19), painted for
the Clarendon Club, Manchester. The pale, intellectual,
singularly shrewd and lawryer-like looking head is relieved from
the datk background with extraordinary force and vitality; the
hands also are painted with fully corresponding truth and
power ; drawing, modelling, colouring, characterisation, are all
first rate. The half-length of Lord Selborne (578), in his robes as
Chancellor, is not a whit less admirable, saving that the shadows
are a trifle hard and black. N otice the artistic toning of the gold
embroidery. A nother veryexcellent portrait is Mr. R. Lehmann’s
subscription whole-length of Sir William Fergusson (192).
Though smoother in texture aud execution, the draughtsman¬
ship, modelling, light and shade, and characterisation leave
nothing to be desired. It would form a capital companion
portrait to Mr. Millais’s Sir James Paget of last year. Like
the eminent surgeon just named. Sir William is represented as
in the lecture-room. On the black board before which lie
stands is a chalk outline of a human shoulder and shoulder-
blade, in a glass on the table is a human scapula—in allusion,
no doubt, to Sir William having successfully, and for the tirot
time, removed a diseased scapula from a living subject. Mr.
Lehmann likewise sends a capital portrait of General Moh&iu
Khan, the Persian Ambassador (1373)—a study for one of the
figures in the artist’s largo picture commemorative of the
ratification of the Persian concessions to Baron de Reuter,
which w'e described some time back. A low-toned portrait of
Mr. E. M. Baillie of Dochfour (304), by Mr. W .Flisali (a naino
new to us), is grave and fine in conception ami treatment; aa<i
similarly high praise is due to a group of children (725) by tho
same artist. Among male portraits noticeable for sound work¬
manship and fidelity to the individuality, as well as on account
of the personages depicted, we should specially comnu-iul tho
whole-length of Monseigneur Capel (92), by M. Yvon, in which
the keen aud even aggressive expression is felicitously caught:
a quite English-looking pioture, though by a French painter;
Mr. J. E. Williams’s seated w’hole-length of Lord Lawrence
(21), painted for the London School Board, in which the a r tiafc
has mastered tho difficulty of indicating not only the brave,
leonine, set expression, but also the benevolence and snen ’i'y
at that almost grim outer mask ; Dr. Newsman (143), by
Mr. W. T. Roden, in which there is no attempt to smooth
down the strongly-maiked characteristics ; and Mr. John
Bright (112), by Mr. L. Dickenson, in which the painter is*

however, scarcely bo fortunate as usual, either as regards the
too self-satisfied expression or the poverty of the colouring.

Dr.W. Lindsay Alexander (4S9), by Mr. N. Macbeth, may
be classed with the preceding, in consideration of its self-evi
dently great truth to nature, though, like most portraits by
Scotch artists, it inclines to hardness. The late J. C. Sehetky,
the marine-painter (565), by Mr. J. J. Napier, is another good
Scotch portrait. There is, however, a marked falling off in the
Scotch school of portraiture, if we may judge by the diminished
number and generally inferior quality of the works here ex¬
hibited. M. 0. Weber’s picture of Baron von 8. (685) at a fox-
hunters’ “ meet "—another very English-looking work by a
foreign artist—is the best equestrian portrait. The horse, in
all his points, is thoroughly well done ; we can only object
that the Baron’s “ pink” coat is too fiery a scarlet. Still more
realistic than any work we have noticed—“literalistic ” would
be a better word—is Mr. Holman Hunt’s nearly full-length of
Mr. Thomas Fairbaim (660), seated on a crimson velvet otto¬
man, with a background formed of a gallery-vista and towb of
show cases that are filled with ohjelS'(Tart, in reference, we pre¬
sume, to the prominent part taken by Mr. Fairbairn in the
formation of the Manchester and other art-treasures exhibi¬
tions. The face and hands in this portrait are mapped out and
modelled with a patient, minute carefulness, and a palpable
honesty, of which there is scarcely a parallel in the entire col¬
lection. The smallest modification of form, the slightest
variation of texture,whether caused by muscles thick ortenuous,
by adipose cushions or tendonous attachments, by osseous and
cartilaginous structure, or by shaving of lip and chin, are set
down by the artist as though he had painted on oath, or with
the desire to compete with photography. The very trousers
are an elaborate study of stripes in perspective and as influenced
by cross folds. Yet how is it that, with all this painstaking
and veracity, the portrait is so little satisfactory that to the
ordinary observer it even approaches the ridiculous ? The eye
of the latter may, it is true, be vitiated, may be rendered
incapable of recognising actual truth to nature by
the conventionality and artificiality prevalent in the usual
run of portraiture. Nevertheless, we must maintain that this
portrait is not artistic in any sense above that of mere copyism.
More than this, we must assert that it is not truthful even as
imitation. Why did Mr. Hunt select a pose that i* about the
least gracefnl that he could have chosen ? Why does the llesh
seem as hard as painted wood, unless it be that he is insensible
to those pearly atmospheric half-tints se characteristic of
human epidermis—half-tints which, when ho has noted them
in other of his works, appear only as positive blue. By rigidly
seeking for all details, those least desirable almost inevitably
assume undue importance. Finally, there are observable in
every face transient, but most essentially characteristic, ex¬
pressions, to which a thousand details are subordinated, at least
in oar impression ; and painting that addresses itself more to
the eye than to the mental impression in so far falls short of
the higher attributes of fine art.

One of the most agreeable female portraits is Mr. Storey’s
whole-length of Dame Octavia Beaumont (226), in brown velvet
robe, white satin petticoat, and broad-brimmed hat and feather,
feeding a pet owl. It is graceful in feeling and very mellow in
effect. Mr. Archer hails, we believe, from Scotland, but his
portraits have no characteristic of the Scotch school except,
perhaps, their i>revailing key of grey colouring. The artist is
very liberally represented, but his important works are 'a
group of Mrs. Williamson and her two children (307), and
another large portrait composition of an elder girl reading to
two younger sisters (333), both presenting a happy combination
ot figures with landscape backgrounds. Of now little, pro¬
vided that little is precisely ot the right sort, goes to make
a«jceptable portraiture, these works are striking examples.
They are delightfully simple, natural, and pure. ' While free
from plagiarism, they remind one of the successes of
Gainsborough and Reynolds in some portraits which, like
these, are little more than sketches. Still, when Mr. Archer's
work is shown (see No. 291) on “the line,” we can but regret
its extreme slightness. Herr von Angeli’s portraits of the
Crown Prince and Crown Princess of Germany (395 and 404)
are extremely dexterous not less in the rich costumes than in
the heads, but the “carnations” are somewhat wanting in
freshness. Professor G. Richter’s half-length of the Duchess
of Edinburgh (194) has the required freshness, but we crave
permission to say that, let the Professor be ever so much a

. courtly

painters, not yet named, who paint to please, though their
liattory may really be the worst of compliments. No doubt
they reflect some of the ton of high life ; they are apt also to
have reminiscences of Reynolds and Gainsborough to which we
would not object, as in the Hon. IL Gravest Countess of
J lehester (69 ); occasionally they may even hit on a naive touch
of nature as in the formal pose and locked hands of Mrs.
W emys (287), by the same; but sometimes they make awful
imstakes, as in the hunting portrait, still by the same, of the
Earl of Macclesfield, who stands at least eight feet high. Mr.
W yigull s portraits of ladies and children, and tho ladies and
children ot Mr. Buckner, may be grouped with the preceding.
Serious criticism on many productions of this kind would be
like breaking a buttci fly on a wheel, yet it is hard to repress
one’s critical cholcr in presence of the varnishy artificiality
aiul man-millincry of tho last-named painter. As a portrait-
painter Mr. Desanges may be classed among fashionable prac¬
titioners, though no one would understand the remark as made
reproachfully who has seen the artist’s masculine and vigorous
picture of the fighting in th^ Ashautee forest, painted for tho
proprietors of this Journal from the sketches of our special
artist, Mr. Melton Prior. Nor, indeed, can any of the usual
faults of fashionable portraiture be alleged against Mr.
Desanges s natural and pleasing family-portrait composition,
numbered 94*-. The motive of the picture is quite original—an
elder and two younger sisters stand “ Waiting for the Eclipse,”

In the Water-Colour Room, among tho more remarkable
drawin^ are two lifesize portraits: the ono of Mrs. George
Smth (5bJj—-a lady seated, in a white dress, partially covered
by a light Chinese embroidered shawl, the excellent drawing
and modelling of the head evidently faithful to nature—by Mr?
J?. W. Burton, formerly a member of the Old Water-Colour

Society, lately appointed Director of the National Gallery;
tho other a still larger drawing— being a half-length of a ladv
with a background of rhododendrons (933)—by Mr. J. M.
Jopling. While acknowledging the difficulties that have
been conquered here, we cannot be insensible to the
deficiencies of water colour for the painting of heads of
the dimensions of nature. Take even the first named,
and, though an unusually complete work for water colours, it
is unquestionable that greater variety of texture, and more
descriptive detail in modelling, could have been attained with
half the labour in oil. Several drawings in this room have
been noticed incidentally in previous articles, and others are
by well-known painters whose works elsewhere we have
occasion to review ; simple mentiou, therefore, taking the
order on the walls, will suffice in most cases. “The Turn of
the Tide, below the Pool, London” (735)—a large and very
able drawing, by W. R. Beverley, noteworthy for that com¬
mand of breadth for which scene-painting is the best of prepara¬
tion ; “On the Teign, Devon” (745), by E H. Bearne
marked by considerable power and promise ; “ Thebes during
the Inundation” (747), by E. Vacher; “The Wetterhorn
(762), by A. Croft; “ Mount Sorrel, Leicestershire” (770), by
J. Orrock ; “ Phcebe Dawson (773), by J. Parker—distinguished
by tender colouring and sense of beauty ; “ Gorleston : Port
of Great Yarmouth : Morning after a Gale” (776), by W. J.

English Gamekeeper” (811), by J. Hardy, juu. ; “Mysterious
Night: Memuonium” (816), A. MacCullum ; “Peace” (857)—
a very suggestive little design of an angel sitting on a Woolwich

THE BARKER COLLECTION.

One of the most remarkable art- sales in recent years took

f flace at Messrs. Christie, Manson, and Wood’s,, on Saturday
ast, when were dispersed the pictures, chiefly of the Early
Italian schools, forming the celebrated collectionof tho late Mr.
Alexander Barker, of Piccadilly. As line examples of these
schools (so important relatively to the history of art) come into
the market on occasions more and more rare, we are glad to say
that, although the allowance for the year had, we believe, been
forestalled, no less than thirteen pictures were purchased by
Mr. Burton, at a cost of £10,000, for the National Gallery. The
extra vote thus required will, doubtless, meet with public
approval. The acquisitions for our national collection are :—
Vivarini — “The Madonna and Infant Saviour,” £189. Cosimo
Tura — “The Madonna,” £84. Benvenuto di Siena (a master
not before represented in our National Gallery) — “ The Madonna
with Infant Saviour, aud angels playing musical instruments,”
£525. Carlo Crivelli—“St. Cath<rmo" aud “The Magda¬
lene,” a pair, £210; the same—“The Madonna in Ecstaey,”
from the chapel of the Malat sta in the Church of S. Francesca,
at Rirniui, £577 10a. Piero della Francesca— “ Tho Nativity,”
the Madonna kneeling over the Saviour, St. Joseph, a blind (?)
man, and five figures singing and playing musical instruments ;
painted in a light-brown tone, but the greens have blackened ;
probably left unfinished ; it is described by Messrs. Crowe
and Cavalcaselle as having been, when they saw it, in a
very damaged condition; if so, it has been skilfully re¬
stored. This interesting picture is mentioned by Vasari; it was

S urchasedby Mr. Barker from the Marini Francheschi family,
esccndauts of Piero. After a very warm competition it was
knocked down for £2415. The fine example of the master,
“ The Baptism of Christ,” already in the National Gallery, was
bought at the Uzielli sale for only £241 IDs. Luca Signorelli —
“ The Triumph of Chastity,” a fresco transferred to canvas,
£840. Bernardino Pinturicchio— “ The Return of Ulysses to
Penelope,” or, according to Waigen and others, “The Visit of
Collatinus to Lucretia,” of great interest as a rare work in
fresco (transferred to canvas) by the painter with whom
Raphael was associated at Siena ; it was supposed by Mr.
Barker that Raphael himself was a model for the foremost
figure, but Waagen points out that the hair is light, whereas it
is dark in the authentic portraits of Raphael, £2152 10s. The
same—three pictures representing the story of Griselda, at the
prices respectively of £210, £241 10s., and £273. Sandro
Botticelli — two mythological pictures, “ Mars and Venus,”
reclining with cupids, £1050; and “Venus,” reclining in a
landscape with three amorini pelting her with roses, £16*27 10s.
These are admirable illustrations of .Botticelli’s poetical fancy
in secular subjects, and, like those by Pinturiccho, are welcome
additions to the national collection. Mr. Grilner, acting, it
was understood, for the Dresden gallery, secured the follow¬
ing : — Giovanni Bellini — “ The Madonna aud Infant Saviour,
St. Peter and St. Helena,” £756. Giorgione — “ A Grand Land¬
scape with Borso D’Este aud Lucretia Borgia,” £609. Gentile
da Fabriano—“The Madonna.” £399. A. Privitalc — “The
Madonna,” £693. Luca Signorelli — a pair of pilasters with figures
of saints, £267 15s. Lorenzo di Credi —“The Madouua,” £483.
The same — a grand altar-piece, ,£4S3. Tho very interesting -series
of six pictures, by Botticelli, illustrative of Boccaccio, painted
for the Casa Pucci, were knocked down at prices ranging from
£420 to £997 10a., to Mr. Brodhurst, to whom, also, went the
“ Portrait of a Youth,” ascribed to Raphael, but more like the
work of Leonardo da Vinci, £3990, and some minor works. Tho
other principal lots were Hemmelinck (Memling), more
probably Q. Matsys—“ The Madonna and Child Enthroned,”
£1281 (Brooks). Giorgione— “ Portrait of his Mispress,” from
the Manfrini Gallery, £399 (Graves). Filippino Lippi—“ The

Adoration of the Magi,” £735 (Calvefcti). Fra Filippo Lippi—
“The Madonna with Infant Saviour, the Magdalene, and
St. Catherine,” £504 (Gulliek). Francesco Francia — “The
Madonna,” £6S2 10s. (Brooks). Antonio Pollajuolo— “The
Madonna with Infant Saviour,” £693 (Castellani). Of the
French school, a Pater, “ Blind Man’s Buff,” fetched £525 10s.;
and a set of eight panels, with small paintings by Boucher,
formerly in Madame de Pompadour’s chateau at Crecy, realised
the large sum of £6352 10s. (Wertheimer). The total of the
pictures, in ninety-two lots, amounted to £38,591. During the
first four days of this week Mr. Barker’s splendid collection of
sculpture, objets d’art, and decorative furniture has beeu
sold - many of the items at high prices; but we have not space
to particularise.

A very interesting loan exhibition, illustrative of the history
of tho art of enamelling on metal, has been opened at the South
Kensington Museum. Tho collection is an exteusive one, and
we hope to have an early opportunity of noticing it somewhat
in detail.

Mr. Whistler (who is not a contributor to this year’s
Academy) has done wisely in arranging a separate exhibition
of his works, which is now open at 48, Pall-mall. Among tho
pictures of other artists who seek for greater relief, stronger,
more varied colouring, completer realisation in every way, Mr.
Whistler’s productions must appear slight, fiat, limited, hasty—

the shadows or ghosts of piofcures-aimmg, as Jie does,, Mid as
his titles honestly imply, merely at colour arrangements,
“harmonies” and “symphonies.” On tho other hand, when the
aim is so circumscribed, there are decorative qualitiessomeoj
them more or less easily attainable-such purity and beauty
of simple tint or hue, and tone, freshness of touch, and dmjcaiy
of gradation, which it would be unfair to expect id w-rhs of
greater elaboration. In carrying out his mtentimvi as a
colourist Mr. Whistler is largely indebted to an intelligent
study of Japanese principles of decoration, and there can be no
doubt that, so far as they go , his works are purely and often
delightfully artistic. The qualities m which he excels are,
moreover, precisely those which are most apt to be lost
in the process of “ finishing ” a picture, and which arc
too rarely found in our school. It must also bo ad¬

mitted that Mr. Whistler is an accomplished artist quite
capable of carrying his work veiy much farther, in the ordi¬
nary sense, if his theory or conviction of artistic requirements
permitted him to do so. This is evident in hia portraits,
wherein the essentials of drawing, modelling, and colouring,
so far as indicated, are perfect. Under the conditions

mentioned very warm admiration is due to the highly charac¬
teristic full-length O' Mr. Carlylo, seated, viewed in profile ;
to the similarly treated portrait of the artist’s mother, exhibited
last year at Burlington House ; to a portrait of a girl, strongly
suggestive of Vrhnqucz; and to another whole-length of a
laay standing before a pinkish background—an etheroally deli¬
cate symphony in flesh-colour and pink. There are many
email studies in oil and chalks, in which the actualities of scene
or person are quite subordinated to the general colour impres¬
sion ; and besides these a series of the artist’s etchings, in which
Mr. Whistler has long been an acknowledged master.

A mosaic picture, in memory of the late V ery Rev. Arch¬
deacon Hale, lias beeu placed in tho Morning Chapel, St. Paul s
Cathedral. Thu subject is the Risen Saviour. It was executed
by Messrs. SaSviati.

The small Burlington Gallery, Piccadilly, has been reopened
with anurabw of water-colour drawings and a few oil paintings
by Mr. Elijah Walton. The subjects are from Egypt aud other
parts of the East, Switzerland, and Norway.

Mr. Mark Firth, of Sheffield, has decided to present thirty-six
acres of the Page Hall estate as a public park for the recreation
of the inhabitants of a thickly-populated part of Sheffield.
Mr. Firth bought the estate for £25,000. A few years ago he
built and endowed almshouses at Sheffield at a cost of £40,600.

Arrangements have been made with the Earl of Fovorshara
and Lord Delislo for the construction of a now line of railway
in North Yorkshire from Helmsley, through Bilsdalo to Inglc-
ton, with a branch to Itosedale, forming a connection with the
Cleveland district. The whole country is extremely rich in
iron, coal, jet, and freestone.

A meeting of the Manchester Bengal Relief Fund Com¬
mittee was held, on Monday, in the Townhall—the Mayor in
the chair. It was announced that the local subscription
amounted to £11,652 ; and it was resolved that it should be
devoted to purposes which the Government, according to the
general rules of administration, could not meet. It was also
agreed to have a collection in the churches and chapels.

Promotions in, and appointments toj the Order of tho Star
of India liave been gazetted : Mr. Robert Henry Davies, Lieu¬
tenant-Governor of the Punjaub ; Colonel Richard John Meade,
Chief Commissioner of Mysore; and Colonel Lewis Pelly, late
Political Resident in the Persian Gulf, beiDg made Knights
Commanders ; while the Hon. Ashley Eden, Ilajah Roomnuath
Tagore, and Mr. Vernon Hugh Schalch are made Companions.

The Liverpool School Board has agreed to pay school fees
for children over four years of ago in cases where parents are
too poor to pay them, aud in several cases for children under
three years oi ago where homes are necessarily broken up for

tho day by the parents going out to work.-A sum of £150

has been subscribed in Dundee to supply clothing to poor
children to enable them to attend school.

The monthly Board of Trade returns were issued on Mon¬
day. These show that the total declared value of exports for
May was £21,229,247, which was a decrease of £1.377 835.
compared with the corresponding month of lapt year, but an
increase of £507,944 compared with May, 1872. The total
value of tho exports for the five months ended May 31 was
£98,463,601, and this was £7,862.873 less than in May, 1873,
and £916,5S2 leas than in May, 1872.

A general order issued from the Horse Guards states that
the Queen has been graciously pleased to signify her pleasure
that a silver medal be granted to all her Majesty’s forces who
were employed on the Gold Coast during the operations against
the King of Ashantec, with a clasp in the case of those who
were present at Amoaful and the actions between that place
and Coomausie (including tho capture of the capital), aud of those
who, during the five days of those actions, were engaged on
tho north of the l 5 rah in maintaining and protecting the com¬
munications of the inaiu army. Tho medals aro to ho given
to all officers and soldiers who served on tho Gold Coast
between Juno 9, 1873, and Feb. 4, 1874, inclusive; or who
during that period, or for any portion of that period, were
on board ship on the coast.

Many volunteers who find it impossible to leave business
entirely for eight days’ training at Alderahott with regulars aud
militia, are yet most anxious for the experience which going
under canvas alone can give. To meet this want considerable
extension will be given this year to volunteer camps of instruc¬
tion, where men may drill morning ami evening, having leave
of absence during the day. On Monday the Civil Service pro-
ceeded to Esher, under the command of Lord Bury, for a week’s
camp life and instruction in guard-mounting, sentry, and out¬
post duty. The London Scottish follow their example next
month,j Wimbledon-common being probably the locality. \
camp will be formed at Plumstead in July, open for members
of the several volunteer artillery corps in the home districts aud
the Secretary of State for War has sanctioned the formation oi
many such all over the kingdom.

THE CHELSEA THAMES EMBANKMENT.

Three or four weeks ago this useful public work, extending
along the Middlesex shore of the river from Battersea Bridge
to the gardens of the Royal Military Hospital—a length of
three quarters of a mile—was opened by the Duke and Duchess
of Edinburgh. The view now presented shows its appearauce
on looking down the river from Battersea Bridge. To those
who love antiquarian associations, the changed aspect of old
Chelsea is perhaps an occasion of regret. But they must
confess that it was growing shabby and squalid—not, indeed,
at the historic frontage of Oheyne-walk, but towards the other
end ; and when the old garment is worn out, if the body is
still alive, it becomes needful to put on a new one. Dean
Swift or Sir Robert Walpole, indeed, would scarcely know the
Chelsea of this day for that which they used to haunt, if they
were now set down at the bottom of Oakley*street, opposite
the new Albert Bridge.

H.M.S. EALEIGH.

The trial-trip of this new ship, built at Chatham Dockyard,
took place about two months ago, with very satisfactory result?.
Her speed at full power was about 15£ knots an hour, and 13^
at half power. The vessel is built with iron transverse frames,
and with a complete iron skin-plating, half an inch thick, over
all her body. This is covered with a wood casing, varying
from 6 in. to 12 in. thick, the greatest thickness being near the
water-line. The bottom is finally sheathed with copper, in the
same way as a wooden vessel. The dimensions are :—Length
over perpendiculars, 298 ft. ; length of keel, 262 ft. ; extreme
breadth, and for tonnage, 49 ft. ; depth in hold, 16 ft. ; burden,
3200 tons j displacement, 4700 ; load-draught; 24 ft. 6 in. aft,
21ft. forward; stowage of coal, 580tons. The engines, by
Messrs. Humphreys, are horizontal, not compound, of 800-horse
power nominal, with surface condensers ; the cylinders of 100 in.
diameter, with 4 ft. 6 in. length of stroke. There are eight
tubular boilers, containing altogether 5500 brass tubes, fitted
with superheaters for drying the steam. These are heated by
thirty-two furnaces, each G ft. 6 in. long and 3 ft. 3 in. wide.
The armament consists, on the main deck, of two 64-pounder
chase guns and fourteen 7-in. 90-cwt. side guns, the ports of
which are 10 ft. above the water-line ; on the upper deck, two
9-in. 12 ton guns revolving on turn-tables, one tiring all round
the bow*, the other astern ; with two 64-pounder chase guns and
two 64-pounder side guns. The total complement is 520,
officers and men. This ship has the ordinary hand-power cap¬
stans and hand-steering arrangements. The fire-extinguishing
apparatus consists of a powerful steam-engine and two double-
action pumps, having a line of 6-in. copper pipe running fore
and aft the whole length of the ship, with branches to attach
hose for combating a lire in any part of the vessel. The power
of these pumps is sufiicient to force two streams of water from
2-in. nozzles over the maiuyard. This engine is also arranged
to pump out water from the bilges in any part of the ship in the
event of a leak.

STATUE OF JOHN BUNYAN.

The colossal bronze statue of John Bunyan, by Mr. J. E.
Boehm, sculptor, was unveiled at Bedford, on Wednesday last.
It was cast at the works of Messrs. H. Young and Co., art-
founders, Pimlico. This statue is the gift of the Duke of
Bedford to the town of Bedford. It is placed on a large granite
pedestal, erected in St. Peter’s-green, at the junction of five
principal roads meeting in that town. The likeness is taken
from a contemporary painting, by Sadler, now in possession of
the Rev. Mr. Olive *, and the costume is in accordance with that
of the period. The attitude is that of a preacher, holding the
open Bible in his left hand, the fingers of his right hand resting
upon it. The face has a very earnest expression. It is a noble
figure, and seems to indicate the greatness of the man’s mind.

At his feet have fallen the symbols of the pnson. Around the
pedestal are placed relievos, illustrating different passages in
^The Pilgrim’s Progress.” The statue is cast from bronze
cannon and bells, recently brought from China, about three tons

° f The author of “The Pilgrim’s Progress” was born, in 1628,
at Els tow, near Bedford, and was bred to his father s trade of
tinker. His religious convictions, inspiring a great imaginative
intellect, made him one of the most powerful of English Puritan
Divines, and one of the most popular English authors His
remarkable autobiography, called by him “Grace Abounding,
has lately been republished by the Religious Tract Society, m
a handsome volume, with illustrations by Mr. E. N. Downard,
engraved by Mr. E. Whyraper. It gives a very interesting ana
instructive view of mental straggles to the attainment of clear
vision and firm reliance upon the spiritual realities m which he
thoroughly believed. In 1655 he became a Baptist Dissenting
preacher at Bedford. He was prosecuted for this crime five
years afterwards, and passed much of his remaining life in
prison, but was at length released. He died in London, about
sixty vears of age. We may, perhaps, give some illustrations

THE LATE KEY. DK. GUTHRIE.

The memorial tablet of Dr. Guthrie which is placed in the
lobby of St. John’s Froo Church, Edinburgh, lias been arranged
as a mural monument. Above a plinth of the simplest possible
character, supported on two square brackets, rises a Gothic
design of plain but elegant outline, inclosing a panel, from
which the head and shoulders of the figure stand out in high
relief. From the apex of the structure droop branches of palm
and olive, wffiile the mouldings surrouudiug the panel are en¬
riched with a band of forget-me-nots. In reproducing the well-
remembered head of the champion of ragged schools, Mr.
Brodie, the sculptor, had before him, in addition to recent
photographs, a fine bust executed by his own hand some ten or
twelve years ago, and exhibited at the time in the Royal
Scottish Academy. Admirable as that bust was, Mr. Brodie
has fully equalled, if not excelled, the likeness in his present
work. The characteristic expression of the man — his air of
mild benignity and buoyant enthusiasm—is cleverly caught;
nor has the artist omitted, by the adjustment—or rather wan
of adjustment—of the clerical bands and necktie, to suggest
Dr. Guthrie’s easy carelessness of gait and habit. The w'ork,
executed in white marble, forms a worthy memorial of one
whose name Edinburgh and Scotland will long continue to
cherish.

THE KING OF SIAM.

An interesting w’ork of art has lately been manufactured l y
Messrs. Hunt and Roskcll for his Majesty the King of Siam,
whoso Court ceremonial at Bangkok was described not long
ago in some of the London papers. It is an equestrian statuette
group, in silver, representing the King attired in military uni¬
form and mounted on horseback. The base of the pedestal is
supported by four kneeling figures of white elephants. This
animal, of a rare colour, which is not really white, but a
brownish yellow, or like what is called cream-colour in horser,
is cherished at Bangkok with extreme veneration, a few speci¬
mens being kept there in the stables of the Royal palace.
There is a fancy in the Buddhist religious philosophy or myth¬
ology that the divine person of Eastern Asiatic worship, having
passed through a multitude of living forms upon earth in a
countless series of ages, finished by inhabiting the body of a
white elephant. It is not quite certain whether Buddha may
not still tarry in this grand incarnation of purity, the ex¬
ceptional white one ; and the reputed sagacity of the big beast
is thought an argument of the existence of indwelling deity in
its burly frame. A devout Siamese has been observed to

counsel of that mystic wisdom. The late Sir John Bownng,
in his narrative of a visit to Siam, describes a pompous state
procession, with music and banners, by which the King and
courtiers led into the city a white elephant caught in the woods.
Some hairs of the animal’s tail were sacredly preserved in a
colden box, which was presented to Sir John as the most pre¬
cious of gifts. As the emblem of Siamese Royalty, the white
elephant is figured upon coins, flags, and seals; hence its
appearance in the handsome table ornament Messrs. Hunt and
Robkell have made for the King.

ROYAL INSTITUTION LECTURES.

PHYSICAL SYMMETRY IN’ CRYSTALS.

Professor Nevil Story Maskelyne, M. A., F.R.S., keeper of the
mineral department in the British Museum, gave Ins fourth
and concluding lecture on Thursday week. He began by giving
a sketch of the history of our knowledge regarding the effect
of magnetic induction on crystals. After referring to Faraday's

first announcement of the magnetic character of all matter—
para magnetic bodies taking up an axial position between the
poles of the magnet, dia magnetic bodies an equatorial position
at right angles to the former—he showed how gradually, by the
light of Knoblauch’s and Tyndall’s experiments, together with
those of Grailich and Lang, the phenomena were traced to the
existence in the crystal of a difference in susceptibility to
magnetic induction along different directions ; Plucker proving
that there exists in crystals true magnetic axes like
optic axes, round which the crystal presents no pre¬
ferential direction that tends to a “set.” The relations
of general symmetry in spheroids or ellipsoids of magnetic
induction as compared with the morphological symmetry
of the crystal correspond to those manifested in the previously
considered cases. Professor Maskelyne then adverted to the
results obtained by Wiedemann and by Knoblauch in regard to
the transmissibility of electricity under certain conditions by
crystals, ami took a general survey of the whole of the
properties of crystals that had been passed in review,
showing that, though concordant generally with their morpho¬
logical symmetry, no single simple explanation of molecular
structure can explain them. In fact, we have not merely to
consider the structure
of the crystal as an
ordered assemblage of
molecules, but the in¬
ternal structure of the
molecules themselves
have to he recognised;
and of molecules pos¬
sibly of more than
one order. Ho then
alluded to the charac¬
ter of the partial
symmetry exhibited
by pyro* electric crys¬
tals, and by Borne
which possess ro¬
tatory polarisation.

The whole of the lec¬
ture was fully illus¬
trated and elucidated
by models and ex¬
periments, including
Faraday’s discoveries
exhibited by his own
apparatus, of which
our limits prevent us
from giving details.

venus’s flytrap
(dionjea muscipula).

Professor J. Burdon
Sanderson, M.D.,

F.R.S., at the last
evening meeting of
the season, on Friday, the 6th inst., gave a discourse
on the mechanism of the remarkable plant named Venus’s
Flytrap (Diontea muscipula), which derives its name from
the leaf possessing the power of catching and digesting
insects. This plant belongs to the small order Droseraceae,
all the members of which possess this property in different
degrees, and in various forms. This is a peculiarity of function
in them, and affords a striking example of development in form
and structure, and of adaptedness to an end. Diomea stands at
the head of its order. It grows in soft damp moss, has very
simple roots, and its flowers possess little beauty. The blade
of the leaf consists of two semicircular lobes joined by a strong
midrib. Each lobe has a hem from which spring twenty spikes.
The under surface of the leaf is bright green, smooth and
glistening, marked with parallel streaks, and the upper surface
m full of minute red bosses, called glands. On each lobe arc
three delicate hairlike spines or filaments, and the leaf-stalk
resembles the handle of a teaspoon. When an insect touches
any one of the six filaments the lobe closes sharply upon it,
just as a trap closes on a rat when it is caught, but at
first the closure is only partial. This Mr. Dai*won ex¬
plained by observing the efforts of the insect to escape.
When it is small it creeps through the aperture formed
by the crossing of the teeth ; in which case the
leaf expands again very gradually to prepare for another
victim ; but 'when it is large its exertions for liberty are futile.

I tepelled by its prison bars, it is driven back upon the sensitive
filaments, and again irritates them. This causes a still more
vigorous contraction of the lobes, and the creature is
crushed. The leaf remains closed for a week or more in
the same state, and a quantity of juice is secreted from the
internal surface of the leaf, by which the insect is gradually
♦bysolved and eventually absorbed. This process Mr. Darwin
has proved to be of the same nature as that by which
food is digested in the stomach of the higher animals. After
illustrating this by experiments Professor Sanderson proceeded
to describe the leading properties of contractile tissues, and to
demonstrate, by employing the voluntary muscles of a frog and
M>me fresh leaves of the Dionma, the remarkable relation be¬
tween contraction and the electrical changes which accompany
if. These changes were strikingly' exhibited by means of
Thomson’s reflecting galvanometer. The movements of a
small ball of light upon the screou showed when contrac¬
tion took place and the electro* motive force was mani¬
fested. The results of the experiments carried on by the
Professor have shown that muscle when stimulated con¬
tracts, changing its form and doing work, and that the
electromotive force of |muscle declines when it con¬
tracts ; that this result happens also with the leaf of Diomea
when excited either mechanically or electrically ; the period
between the stimulation and its effect being much longer than
in muscle : each stimulation being followed by a period of ex¬
haustion, during which, although the electromotive force is

restored, it is not excitable. When either muscle or leaf con¬
tracts, electromotive force disappears and work is done ; but
there is no reason to suppose that there is any conversion of tho
one effect into the other, or that the source of the force ex¬
ercised by the muscle or by the leaf in contracting is electrical.
Through the kindness and skill of Dr. Hooker’s assistants at
Kew, several fine specimens of Diouaja were obtained in full
growth a month earlier than usual expressly for Professor
Burdon Sanderson’s experiments. George Busk, Esq., F.R.S.,
treasurer and vice-president, was in the chair.

LIFE IN OTHER WORLDS.

Mr. R. A. Proctor, in his fifth and concluding lecture on
the Planetary System, on Saturday last, discussed, first, the
two theories of life in other worlds which are associated with
the names of Sir David Brewster and Dr.Whewcll, and then

E roceeded to enunciate his own, which occupies a middle place
etween the two others. Brewster, in his work entitled “ More
Worlds than One : the Belief of the Philosopher and the Hone
of the Christian,” expressed his opinion that the heavenly
bodies are either the abodes of life or, like the sun, supporters
of life—an idea which was also entertained by Sir John
Hersehel. Whewell himself, who at one time held this opinion,
renounced it in his “ Plurality of Worlds,” Bayiug that if the
planets Buch as Jupiter were inhabited, it must be by very low
forms of animal life. This book, Mr. Proctor said, was pro¬
ductive of much benefit by breaking through tho pre¬
vailing habit of judging other planets by what we expe¬
rience on our own, and thus reasoning too much by
analogy. He then briefly referred to the geological evi¬
dence of the successive changes that have taken place
on our earth, and the inconceivable amount of time which
was required before the earth was fitted to be the abode of the
various grades of life, culminating in man. After this he
adverted to the evidence for believing that, eventually, further
changes will ensue, whereby life wul totally die out on our
globe, after an immense interval of time. Accepting, then, on
the one hand, the evidence which opposes our belief in the
present habitability of all, or even of tho chief proportion, of
the worlds which people sp'ace, Mr. Proctor showed how, on
the other hand, it is unreasonable to regard our earth as the
sole abode of life, and expressed his conviction that we may
regard all those worlds as subserving, at one period of their

at Victoria Park, and a pecuniary legacy of £300,000, to be
paid immediately after his decease, in cash or in such securities
as she may select; to his nephew Edward Martin Lang worthy
£100,000 ; upon trust for his niece Florence Langworthy and
her children, £50,000; to each of the Bona of his brother
Lewis, £35,000; upon trust for each of the daughters of his said
brother and their children, £25,000 ; to his said brother Lewis
Langworthy, £20,000 ; upon trust for Mrs. Hannah Laug-

about his domestic establishment who have been twenty years
in his service, £250 each ; to those who have been ten years in
his service, £100 each ; to those who have been five years in
his service, £50 each ; and to the remainder £5 each. The
testator then says :—“ I bequeath, to the trustees of
the Manchester Grammar School £10,000 upon trust
to invest the same in their names in or upon such
securities as they shall deem most advisable, and to divide
tho income arising therefrom into twenty equal parts in order
to constitute twenty annual scholarships (each of such parts
constituting one scholarship), which scholarships respectively

shall be open to

ships shall he held,
shall be from time
to time prescribed
by the trustees and
High Master of the
said school. Providol
always that the exa¬
mination for such
scholarships shall be
in one or more of

existence, the wants of living creatures, and that now there
may be millions of inhabited worlds. Referring to the infinity
of space, matter, and time, he said that it is impossible for us,
with our finite understandings, to attempt to form any adequate
conception of the wisdom and power of the Almighty, as
manifested in the Creation. Passing on to the consideration of
the solar system itself, he discussed its probable past and
future, and then indicated the evidence favouring a theory of
evolution differing in some essential points from that of
Laplace, which supposes tho solar system to have been
gradually formed by the rotation of a nebulous mass. These
theories were illustrated by pictures illuminated by the oxy-
hydrogen light.

With this lecture the Royal Institution season was

ROYAL ALBERT YACHT CLUB.

The members of tho Royal Albert Yacht Club, of which his
Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh is President, have
presented, as a wedding gift, to her Royal and Imperial
Highness the Duchess of Edinburgh, Grand Duchess Marie
Alexandrovna of Russia, the handsome gold bracelet shown
in our Illustration. The design represented on the face of the
pendant is the tlag of the Royal Albert Yacht Club.

To urge the importance of carrying into effect, in any now
legislation on endowed schools, the recommendations of the
Schools Inquiry Com mission in favour of establishing pro¬
vincial authorities and county boards to co-operate w r itk the
Commissioners, an influential deputation waited, yesterday
week, on the President of the Council.

Mr. Whitworth Jackson, in his evidence before the Com¬
mittee on the Adulteration of Food, stated that two millions
and a half pounds of the tea imported consists of exhausted
leaves. He had once been offered the services of a person w ho
represented himself as a “tea improver,” and said he travelled
about tho country teaching h s art to unsophisticated grocers.
Nir. Allen, the Sheffield analyst, stated that one packet of tea
examined by him contained 60 per cent of insoluble matter.

tho above-mentioned branches, and that no greater number
than seven of such scholarships shall be awarded in any
one year to students under tho age of seventeen years, ami
no greater number than seven to students over the age of
seventeen years and under the age of eighteen years, and no
greater number than six to students over the age of eighteen
years and under the age of nineteen years, unless the trustees
and High Master shall think fit.* And I declare that, u tho
said trustees and High Master shall not in any one year award
tho whole of the said twenty scholarships, then and in
such case the share of income constituting tho scholarships
so unawarded ahull be accumulated and invested by
the trustees of the said school, and tho interest arising
from such accumulations, when invested, shall be applied in
increasing the value or amount of the Baid twenty scholarships
in subsequent yearB, or in increasing the number of scholarships,
as may be from time to time deemed most advantageous by the
trustees of the said school. Provided always, that if in future
ye are it shall not lie deemed advisable either to increase the
value or number of such scholarships, then and in such case the
said accumulations may be applied by tho trustees of the «aul
school in or towards such other purposes for increasing the use¬
fulness of the said school as they may consider desirable. 1
bequeath to the Corporation of Salford £10,000 upon trust, to
apply the same for tne benefit of the museum and library new
established in Peel Park, Salford; and I direct that the same
shall be expended either in the purchase of additional specimens
for the museum or in extension of tho library, or in both of
such objects, as they shall deem most advisable; and 1 empower
them to expend the said sum in or upon one or both of snob
objects, or to invest the same and apply the annual income for
the benefit of one or both of the same objects.” The deceased
leaves the residue of his property, real and personal, to his wile.

Several important points in connection with the proposed
Factory Acts Amendment Bill were, last Saturday, urged upon
the Home Secretary bv a deputation representing industries
which are affected by the measure in question.

The Royal Colonial Institute held a conversazione, on Thurs¬
day, at the South Kensington Museum. The guests were re¬
ceived by the Duke of Manchester, as president; by Prince
Christian, the Secretary of State for the Colonies, and by others
of the vice-presidents and members of the council.

In the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in
Ireland another warm discussion took place, yesterday week,
in reference to instrumental music; and a resolution was
passed expressing grave disapproval of the seven congregations
in the south and west which did not give up the use of instru¬
ments and harmonise their service of praise.

At the meeting of the Metropolitan Board of Works yester¬
day week—Colonel Sir James Hogg, M.P., in the chair—a letter
was read from the City Commissioner of Sewers stating their
intention of still further improving Newgatc-sfcreefc by setting
back a number of houses, and hoping that the board would
contribute towards tho cost of the same. The matter was
referred to the works committee. The works committee
reported—with reference to the letter of the Strand district
board requesting the board to assist them in the proposed
removal of the railings in front of Somerset House, for the pur¬
pose of widening the public footway—that they had now no hope
of the improvement being carried out, and they recommended
that the reference bo discharged. Mr. Phillips said it was
very desirable that what was proposed should be done, but the
First Commissioner of Works would not give his consent, and
the district board had no power to act. The report was
adopted. A letter was read from the Commissioners of Sewers
stating that they would contribute £130,000 in aid of certain
street improvements to be effected as proposed in the Metro¬
politan Inner Circle Completion and Eastern Extension Rail¬
way Bill.-The Select Committee of the House of Commons

has stated that it is not prepared to grant the extension to Bow.

Mr. KOLISCII.—Tlus very eminent player—the winner of the Emperor’s
prize in the Grand Tournament of Pans in 1S6G and the chief organiser of
the \ lenna Chess Congress last year—is, wo hear, on a short visit to
London at this moment. I t is to be expected that those amateurs here
who profited so pleasantly by this gontleman’s courtesy and hospitality on
the latter occasion will not permit him to return to Austria w ithout show¬
ing their sense of his kindness by inviting him to dinner at one of the
London chess clubs.

SCIENTIFIC RESULTS OF THE MONTH.

Tramways and light railways with a team power applied to
them seem likely to assume a position before long of much im¬
portance. In "a pamphlet on this subject, by M. AmtSdee
Sebillot of Paris, the prospects of such railways are discussed,
supposing that the receipts do not exceed £.320 to £380 per
mile per week, and that the inclines are sometimes as steep as
1 in 20. Such lines, he says, may be worked by the simple
adhesion of the wheels, and the cost of constniction he esti¬
mates at £1600 per mile when laid down on the side of a road,
and £2880 per mile if made as an independent line. A9 in
surmounting inclines it is important to keep down the weight,
he thinks it inadvisable to combine the engine with the car¬
riage, and he proposes three classes of vehicles—one for pas¬
sengers only, one for passengers and goods, and one for goods
only. In our own Parliament a bill has been introduced to
enable steam-traction and other engines to be used on the
public roads, under the proviso that neither smoke nor steam
shall be emitted from them, that there be no noise from tho
blast, and that the rates of speed now usual for vehicles de¬
voted to similar objects or carrying on a similar traffic shall
not be exceeded. The general supercession of horses in our
streets and roads by light engines appears to be now only a
question of time. A good air-engine, working with liquid fuel,
would give a great impulse to the substitution which must one
day take place.

It would appear from a discovery Lately made at Ballarat
that a good deal of the gold obtained in Australia by the usual
processes of crushing and washing must have been lost. About
9 lb. of the tailings, when subjected to assay at the School of
Mines at Ballarat, was found to yield nearly 3 oz. of gold.
Heretofore such tailings have been thrown away.

Dr. Hoffmann has discovered a new source of vanilla. Be¬
tween tho wood and bark of fir-trees a glucoside called coniferin
is foynd, which, when acted upon by oxidising agencies, is con¬
verted into vanillin, the active principle of vanilla.

A paper has been read by Mr. Drew before the Architec¬
tural Association of Ireland on tho application of wires to
remedy acoustic defects in public buildings. Every public
building properly consists of two main parts—one, tho
vomitorium, whence the sound proceeds, and tho other tho
auditorium, whither it is directed. The elementary sound may
be affected by two agencies—resonance and reflection. Re¬
sonance adds to the volume of sound and acts usefully if made
to act at tho point where the sound is generated, of which we
have an example in tho wooden part of a fiddle ; but reflection
produces an echo, and impairs the acoustical properties of a
building. Heretofore the only antidote to this evil has been
the introduction of heavy curtains to absorb the sound after it
has done its work. But it has been found that a strand of wire
in a state of tension will break and disperse the wave of sound
as it passes, and hence the use of distended wires has been now
proposed as the preferable expedient.

In the second biennial report of the San Francisco Park
commissioners some interesting experiments are recounted on
the cultivation of sand-binding plants for the reclamation of
sand downs. Many trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants were
tried ; but two kinds of lupine seemed to give the best results.
The plant was raised from seeds, and to prevent it from being
smothered by sand-drift before it attained any considerable
growth common barley was planted with it, which sprouts on
the fifth day, and against the twelfth attains sufficient height to
hold the drift, whereas the growth of the lupine is rather slow.
In a single year the lupine covered the sand with vegetation
three or Tour feet high.

A correspondent of the Garden gives the following recipe
for keeping the walks of a garden free from weeds :—Mix 1 lb.
of sulphuric acid with 2011). of water in an earthen pan and
water the walks with the diluted acid by means of a small
watering-pot, but be careful none is sprinked on the edgings,
as it kills whatever it touches. In a few days roll the walk,
and it will have a bright and fresh appearance, and no weeds
will again appear. It will be a great improvement when
asphalte is more used for the formation of garden walks, and a
less expensive system of asphalting would suffice for this
purpose than is necessary when dealing with the streets.

The cold from which we suffered in May has been more
than usually severe this year, and vegetation'has been much
injured in consequence. But a cold period is found to inter¬
vene pretty constantly about the same time every year, and
M. Sainte-Clair Devillo has traced its cause to a string of
asteroids, through the shadow of which the earth passes about
that time.

Captain Dicey’s twin steamer Castalia, intended to maintain
and improve communication between France aud England, has
been launched during the present month. She consists essen¬
tially of two hulls, about 17 ft. wide and 290 ft. long, separated
by a distance of 26ft., and in the central tunnel two paddle-
wheels are rotated, by which means the composite vessel is to
be propelled. It is not expected that the vessel will be very
fast. But tho purpose of the special mode of construction
adopted is to prevent rolling, and so to obviate sea-sickness
There are rudders at both ends, so that the vessel does not
require to turn, which, we suppose, would be impossible in so
narrow a harbour as Calais. There is nothing very new in tho
idea of twin vessels, which have often before been tried, and
Mr. Miller, of Dalswinton, nearly a century ago employed
vessels with two and some with three bodies, to which he fitted
his pad die-wheels. It is something, however, to find a sailor
like Captain Dicey anxious to abate the miseries of sea sickness,
which too often meet with but littlo commiseration from those
who do not suffer from the infliction.

A new school of horticulture has been established at Ver¬
sailles, of which the main design is to train up a number of
intelligent practical gardeners. The course of study embraces
the cultivation of fruit-trees in the open air and under glass,
the cultivation of vegetables in the open air and under glass,
the cultivation of flowering plants in the open air and under
glass, elementary and descriptive botany, the principles of
landscape gardening and architecture, and various other depart¬
ments of knowledge supplemented by practical instruction in
the manual operations of gardening. The school is placed under
the jurisdiction of the Minister of Agriculture and Commerce.

Dr. Moore, of Glamevin, near Dublin, who has just
returned from Vienna, has brought home some useful infor mal
tion about the method of cultivating Dampier’a glory pea—a
plant most difficult to cultivate under tho usual conditions.
He finds that in Austria most favourable results have been
obtained by grafting the Clianthus Dampieri on the Clianthus
X)uniceus.

At a meeting of the Iron and Steel Institute, held in London
during the past month, one of the papers read was upon friction
and other clutches in rolling-mills for iron, introduced to prevent
the machinery from being broken down if the rolls become
accidentally choked. The proper remedy, as we have re¬
peatedly explained, does not lie in clutches or breakiu/
spindles, but in the use of a pair of compound engiues on the
marine principle, which would roll the iron direct, without
intermediate gearing aud without a fly-wheel. When so fi*'
the engines will merely stop if the rolls get choked.

SKETCHES IN PARLIAMENT.

That which bv a familiar abbreviation is called the Drink Bill
^as proved rather a doubtful good to the - strong Government.”
In fact, it has rather over-weighted Mr. Cross, who for once in
his Parliamentary life has got into a muddle. _ I erliapi the sub¬
ject insensibly influenced those who took part in the debate, and
that talking so much about strong liquor produced an effect
akin to that which is produced by drmlung it, for the dis¬
cussions were loud and animated and confused, and partook
a good deal of the nature of babble. As an instance of the
waLt of resolve and vacillation of the Home Secretary, it may
be mentioned that there was absolutely an avowed difference
of opinion between him and Mr. Ward Hnut upon a very
crucial provision of the biU, and the curious spectacle was
to be observed of the First Lord of the Admiralty trying
to run out of the House to avoid voting against his colleague.
But then Mr. Hunt has shown some time ago that lie is im¬
pulsive, and prone to express half-formed opinions with the
certainty of dogmas.

If an example of individual weakness in the strong Govern¬
ment is paraded, in common justice an instance of vigour and
equality to a situation in another member of the Ministry de¬
serves to be recorded. The Secretary for War on ono evening
had to manage at least three departmental interpellations, and he
did so with a readiness, a dexterity, and an adaptation of variety
of tone to each which were exceedingly effective. The first
inquiry was of rather a delicate nature, and he had to confess
that “'twits true, ’twas pity, but ’twas true,” that tho
men of a militia regiment, out for training, were
obliged to sleop two in a bed; but that, as they did not mind
it, though theoretically inexpedient, practically there had bean
no grievance ; and this was said in a way that gave the matta^
a capital comic aspect, and so any bad impression was laughed
away. Then came Sir Henry Havelock with an inquiry whether
the Surveyor-General of the Ordnance had, at a Conservative
banquet in Essex, accused the late Government of having left
the Army in a'deplorable state, which the present Secretary
for War was about to remedy ; and a request wa3 a ided that
the remedies that were imminent might he mentioned. This
time Mr. Hardy assumed a swelling port, spoke with the
vehemence which is natural to him, and, with a mixture
of indignation and contempt, protested against bsing
called on to answer for anything Lord Eustace Cecil,
the inculpated after-dinner speaker, had said; while a3 to
declaring the measures he might have in contemplation—if,
indeed, he had any — for reconstructing the Army to the
anxious inquirer, he would suffer him to burst in ignorance
rather than gratify him by a word of information. The third
question was put by Mr. llayter, in a prickly form, its objeot
beirg to ascertain why a regimental baud had herded a pro¬
cession of Conservatives on their way to the grand banquet
aforesaid, and whether the Tory War Department would lend
military bauds for like Liberal demonstrations. The ques¬
tion, from its nature and the pointed way in which it
was put, brought the House into a mirthful humour; and
Mr. Hardy, catching the spirit of the moment, mirthfully
explained away the incident, and, by implication, ex¬
pressed his intention not to allow regimental bands to
take part in political festivities of any kind, and therefore
when Mr. Hayter and his co-tliinkers demonstrated they must
blow their own trumpets, of which he insinuated that the
honourable member was himself very capable. Tho laughter
which burst forth proved that a palpable hit had been made.

The Prime Minister has been giving proof of his capacity for
managing the House, which with him is an instinct, expanded
by experience and habit. In the first place, ho has achieved
a success in a matter usually most difficult, that of inducing
private members to yield up all their motions in favour of a
Government bill on a Tuesday evening. This was most adroitly
effected, without private members perceiving the probable
result of their yielding the proverbial -inch.” For a day or
two afterwards Mr. Disraeli, who had sounded a note of alarm
about a loDg and laborious, instead of brief and do-nothing,
Session, w'hieh was a prevailing notion, declared a monster
programme of measures, which would have been startling in
the first week of February, but which was positively appalling
in the second week of June. Of course, no one knew better
than he the impossibility of carrying out the scheme ; but,
doubtless, his object was* so to manage as that two or perhaps
three important measures might come to fruition by Aug. 1 or
sooner, so that there should be no Liberal sneering during the
recess about the laches or incapacity of the strong Conservative
Government. To this end, more Government days in the
week were wanted. It was amusing to observe ho w craftily
he insinuated that such a House as he had the distinction
to lead could effect wonders in the way of legislation,
if they avoided garrulity and granted the Government the
Tuesday evenings for the rest of the Session. The request wa3
glided m so artfully that private members were taken by sur¬
prise, and had no -word to say then, and were trapped. Protests
on a subsequent occasion of course were made, but in vain.

More than once it has been mentioned in this chronicle that
the Irish, section of the House has asserted itself considerably
this Session. As a body, the Home Rulers are organised; they
have a regular - Whip,” to which, for a wonder, they answer
with docility and assiduity, and they Hood the notice-paper with
motions and hills. Notably, one evening this week there were
three or four of their motions set down, so thickly and so near
each other that they crowded out all the othera, and there w .13
a complete rehearsal of the proceedings of a Home Rule
Parliament. Two of them were duly considered; and, a 3
may be supposed, the object of both of them was asking for
State help for poor down-trodden Ireland. Let all credit be
given to Mr. O^haughnessy for the temperate, practical, and
gentlemanly way in which he dealt with the subject of inter¬
mediate education in hi 3 country. Perhaps his very un-Irish
way «f doing his work caused the discussion rather to flag ;
and it was doubtless shortened by one of those politic speeches
promising -consideration” and concession with which Sir
Michael llicks-Beaeh contrives to catch the sympathies of too-
confiding Irish membors. The next motion was not destined
to go off so quietly. Its demand was direct for increase of
payments by the Stato to National School teachers in
Ireland, and it was made in a speech of rather wishy-
washy fluency by Mr. Meldon, a gentleman who has
shown a tendency to garrulity in this his first Session ;
and it was supported by Mr. Richard Smyth, in a
speech of great rhetorical power, slightly disfigured by a touch
of sermonising in delivery. Things were going on tolerably
quietly when Mr. M‘Laren roso and, in that pity-thc-sorroivs-
of-a-poor-old-man. style which he. aflccts, and which covers
astute ideas sturdily adhered to, suggested that tho example of
England, and especially of Scotland, in the matter of increase
of payment of National teachers, might be followed—namely,
by paying them out of local resources. This was literally
throwing a shell amongst combustible materials, and tho result
was almost a chaos of ardent protestations, out of which the
only formed idea that could be obtained was condemnation of
the brutality of asking that Ireland should pay anything.
While on Irish matters Parliamentary, a touching instance of

patriotism in an Irish member may be chronicled. Mr.
O’Sullivan, with some pathos, inquired if it was legal that
pure Irish whisky should be mixed in bond with horrible
foreign (Scotch being particularly understood) compounds. On
being informed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer that tho
custom was legal, if it was not nice, Mr. O’Sullivan, with an
angry burst, declared that he would make it the subject of
solemn Parliamentary inquiry.

PARLIAMENTARY SUMMARY.

HOUSE OP LORDS.

Yesterday week, after the Customs and Inland Revenue Bill
(the Budget) had been read the third time and passed, the
subject of free passage through the Suez Canal was raised by
Lord Dunsauy, who was assured by Lord Derby that the posi¬
tion in respect to the right of passage was not precarious, all
the maritime rights being well defined. The Supreme Court
of Judicature Act (1S73) Amendment Bill, which transfers ulti¬
mate appeals from Scotland and Ireland from the House of
Lords to the Supreme Court of Appeal under the Judicafcure
Act, was discussed, and passed the second reading.

The Royal assent was given by Commission, on Monday, to
several measures of public and private importance, amongst
which were the Betting Bill and the Customs and Inland
Revenue Bill. Prince Arthur was introduced by the Prince of
Wales and the Duke of Edinburgh, and took the oaths and his
seat as Duke of Connaught. Their Lordships were occupied
throughout tho remainder of the sitting, which extended
beyond midnight* with the further consideration in Committee
of the Public Worship Regulation Bill.

In a laborious sitting, on Tuesday, the Scotch Church
Patronage Bill and the India Councils Bill were passed through
Committee, and further progress was made in Committee with
the Public Worship Regulation Bill. The Infants’ Contract; Bill
was read the second time.

On Thursday the attention of their Lordships was almost
entirely given to the consideration of the Supreme Court of
Judicature Act (1873) Amendment Bill.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

The House, yesterday week, went into Committee'] on the
Intoxicating Liquors Bill, the consideration of which it resumed
at the second clause, which fixes tho hours of closing. Sir
Harcourt Johnstone moved to substitute -nine” for ten
o’clock on Sunday nights in the rural districts ; but the motion
was defeated by 198 to 182, and -ten” wa3 retained in the
bill. A scries of divisions subsequently took place. Lord C. J.
Hamilton sought to fix the hour of opening at five o’clock,
instead of six, in the morning; but the proposal was rejected
by 319 to 94. Considerable discussion arose on tho section pro¬
viding that the hours of closing on Sunday afternoons should
be from three until six o’clock. By *216 to 63 the Committee
decided upon striking out tho word “six,” and by 211 to 38
refused to fill up the blank with the word - five.” Eventually
it was resolved to supply the hiatus with the word -seven,”
the Home Secretary undertaking to reconsider the matter and
allow it to be reopened on tho report. Clause 2 having been
affirmed, clause 3 became unnecessary by the amendments
introduced into clause 2, and was expunged. The clauses re¬
pealing the exemptions in favour of houses near theatres, and
empowering visiting justices to vary the hours of opening on
Sunday afternoons ar.d to grant early-closing licenses, wore
agreed to without a division. The clause defining the -bond-
fide traveller” provoked considerable debate ; bub at length it
was settled that he should be a person who had lodged on the
preceding night at least three miles from the place where he
demanded a supply of liquor, the distance to be calculated in a
straight line on the Ordnance map. After the clause relating
to the hours of closing night-houses had been agreed to, the
House resumed, and the Chairman reported progress.

Mr. Disraeli entered, on Mon Jay night, upon an explana¬
tion and defence of tho statement lie made last week respecting
the amount of business before tho House, and wound up with a
warning that he must ask private members togive.up Tuesdays
to the Government after this week. The Government has
seventeen important bills, as well as supplementary estimites,
to get through during the current Session. The House then
resumed the consideration in Committee of the Licensing Bill,
taking up the eleventh clause, relating to mitigation of penalties,
which was agreed to. Mr. Rathbonc proposed tho omission of
clause 12, which provides for the indorsement of convictions ou
licenses, and, on a division, was defeated by 315 to 41. On
clause 19, Mr. Stevenson moved an amendment providing for
the licensing of new premises only when they were constructed
for the purpose of carrying on the trade. The amendment was
negatived, and the clause was agreed to, as were also the clauses
up to the twenty-eighth. Sir E. Watkin moved a new clause,
the object of which was to prevent the billeting of soldiers on
publicans -without those persons’ consent. On a division the
clause, which was opposed by the Home Secretary, w.i3
negatived by 151 to 34. After some discussion ths
bill passed through Committee, and, amidst the cheers
of the House, was ordered to be reported. In a
speech of an hour’s duration Sir Stafford Northcote
introduced the Friendly Societies Bill. The measure, as de¬
scribed by the right hon. gentleman, is one to consolidate the
existing law and to amend it, chiefly in the direction of
strengthening and improving the contral organisation. The
bill contains eighty clauses, and, with a view of improving its
chances of becoming law this Session, the Chancellor of the
Exchequer proposed to the House a somewhat novel course of
procedure. The bill would, he said, be printed in two or three
days; the second reading would be taken on the 22nd inst.,
and the Committee would be fixed within a reasonable time
after. Between the second reading and Committee hon.
members who take an interest in the question are, by tho invi¬
tation of the right hon. gentleman, to —see him out of the
House,” and to submit auy amendments that may occur to
them. The House will then resolve itself into Committee pro
forma in order to have the bill reprinted with the amendments
which the Government have thus been induced to accept, and
by these mcaus the Chancellor of the Exchequer hopes to
reduce discussion in Committee to a minimum and gefc the bill
through tliis Session. Leave was given to bring in the bill, and
a long list of other measures was disposed of.

The subjects of intermediate education in Ireland and tbs
remuneration oi Irish national school teachers were, on
Tuesday, discussed upon two motions, both which were with¬
drawn. On Mr. Newel egate bringing forward tho subject of
monastic and conventual institutions, tho House wa 3 counted out.

The second reading of the Elementary Elucation Act
Amendment Bill, the object of which was to repeal the twenty-
fifth clause, was moved, on Wednesday afternoon, by Mr.
Henry Richara ; and, after a smart discussion, was rejectel bv
373 votes against 128. J J

On Thursday, iu answer to Mr. Serjeant Simon, Mr. Bourke
stated that proposals had been made by both the French and
Russian Governments for tho amelioration of prisoners of war,
and had invited the Governments of Europe to a congress at

Biusscls to consider the subject. But her Majesty’s Go-
ment had not made up their minds ou the matter \| *5*
Hardy, in the unavoidable absence of Mr. Disraeli, morel n
on Tuesday next, and succeeding Tuesdays during the re-^ 1 ! l *
of the Session, orders of the day have precedence of no*',
motions, Government orders of the day having the J '
After many objections urged by private members, them b?'
was agreed to. On the second reading of the Factories mi] ^
object of which was to limit the labour of women and
to 56.$ hours a week in textile manufactures, Mr. Fa* 14
moved - That, in the opinion of this House, it would be T’’
pedient to pass those portions of the hill which impose
legislative restrictions on tho number of hours dtirinj?
adults are to be permitted to work.” The remainder 0 f u
evening was occupied in the consideration of this subject ^

‘*PRA ANGELICO.”

Modorn artists are not unnaturally fond of subjects comuu- -
rative of the early masters of their craft, and among such tut
masters there is no figure more interesting than that of the Ia t
representative of the art of the fourteenth century, th»

Fra, or Beatified Brother, Giovanni da Fiesole, or, as he U ^
generally styled, Fra Angelico, the Angelic Brother. Hisw .rk
were conceived and executed in the most exalted i

of piety, and his whole life seems to hare been i!
accord with his works, which was certainly not the c *
udth all those early painters. He is said to have ahv^i
commenced his day’s painting with prayer to have been v.A
frequently interrupted by tears when representing the Saviour i
sufferings, as in the fresco of the - Crucifixion,” still praervsd
in his convent of San Marco, Florence ; to have never paint'd
for money ; to have regarded his pictures as the mult of
inspiration, therefore sacred, and, when once finished, not to
be mqiroved or retouched. He was most at home fo
pictures — whether illuminated MSS. tempera or frew-i
paintings—of the heavenly hierarchy, of the crowds of blessed
patriarchs, prophets, apostles, saints and martyrs at the
Resurrection, such as the picture in our National Gallery. Ho
is depicted as engaged on a work of this class in the water-
colour drawing by Mr. Walter Duncan (son of tho well-known
landscape and marine painter), which we have engraved. This !
drawing is one of those with which the young punter has mi le
his ddbut upon his election as an Associate of the Old Water-
Colour Society. We need not say more, as we have noticed
this and other contributions of the artist in our review oi tho
exhibition in which they find a place.

The weekly return of metropolitan pauperism shows that
the total number of paupers Last week was 9.),516, of whom
S3,747 were in workhouses and GlJflO received outdoor relief.
Compared with the corresponding w v eek in the year3 1873,
1872, and 3871, these figures show a decrease of 7195, 11,230,
and 29,761 respectively. The number of vagrants relieved
on the last day of the week was 615, of whom 426 were man,
155 women, and 34 children under sixteen.

The annnal congress of homoeopathic medical practitioner?
has been held at the Homoeopathic Hospital, Great Ormond-
street—Dr. Dudgeon, president, in the chair. The business
was opened, on Thursday week, by an able address from the
president on “The Influence of Homoeopathy on General Medi¬
cine since the Death of Hahnemann.” In this he entered into
a close account of the history of medicine of late years, and
showed that the results of experience had caused allopathic
practitioners to come continually closer and closer ^ to
homoiopathists, and that, in fact, allopathy was fast merging
practically into homoeopathy.

The Duke of Westminster states, in a letter to the Times,
that it is proposed to establish in connection with the Wcit
minster Hospital a training-school for nurses. A house in the
immediate neighbourhood of the hospital has been rented, and
many influential persons interested in the welfare of the sick
have come forward to form a committee and make a beginning
Madame Christine Nilsson has generously volunteered to give a
public concert in aid of the funds required for the first outlay,
at St. James’s Hall, on July 1. The concert will be under the
immediate patronage of her Majesty and the Royal Princesses.

The forty-seventh anniversary dinner of the friends of the
Licensed Victuallers’ Asylum—which consists of 170 separate
houses, chapel, and chaplain’s residence, situated in the
Asylum-road, Old Kent-road—was celebrated at the Crystal
Palace, on Thursday, under the presidency of Money Wigram,
Esq., of the firm of Messrs. Reid and Co., the eminent brewers.
The friends of the charity (amongst whom were several members
of Parliament) assembled in large numbers, upwards of 2090
dining together in the grand concert room and centre_transept.
Many liberal subscriptions were announced.

The British Asylum for Deaf and Dumb Females, Lower
Clapton, has received, through Messrs. Glyn and Co., a second
anonymous gift of £1000; the Duke of Bedford has given £500
to the council of the Charity Organisation Society; the
BaToness Meyer de Rothschild and daughter have presented to
the Borough Jewish Schools £250, in memory of the late Baron
Meyer Anselmjde Rothschild ; the Corporation of the city of

During the week ending Saturday last 2233 births and 1257
•deaths were registered in London, the former having been 48,
and the latter 163, below the average. The deaths referred
to die eases of the respiratory organs and phthisis, which in the
two previous weeks had been 417 and 437, declined last week
to 3G3, and were 43 below the average. There were 44 deaths
ficin measles, 32 from scarlet fever, 7 from diphtheria, 33
from whooping-cough, 23 from different forms of fever, 22
from diarrhoea, and not one from smallpox. The deaths from
dianhom do not yet show anv considerable increase ; tho death
of one infant resulted from choleraic diarrhoea in Bethnal-green.
The 23 deaths referred to fever were 19 below the average, and
included 8 certified as typhus, S a3 enteric or typhoid, and 7 as
simple continued fever. Four deaths were caused by hors os or
vehicles in the streets. The mean temperature showed a
considerable excess on each day of the week.

The French Mint, in preparation for the return to specie
pa} ment, has begun the coinage of 20-franc gold pieces.

The Roman correspondent of the Times reports another
murder of the same description as that of Count Faina, which
has been perpetrated by highway robbers in Romagna. Two
gentlemen were stopped and made to deliver whatever they
had about them, and as one of them, Signor Domenico Muraton,
of MuranOj begged to retain a pocket-book in which he had im¬
portant papers, the ruffians, to be rid of his importunity,
dispatched him with their knives.

The French Minister of Agriculture and Commerce hi3
rescinded some newly-imposed regulations complained of by
Lord Alfred Paget and others, and has directed that all vessels
from England arriving at Boulogne are to be admitted at once
to free pratique, without being required to be provided with a
clean bill of health. This will secure to English yacht3 visit¬
ing Boulogne the same facilities as they have until now en¬
joyed, and the Times believes the measure is applicable to
French ports in general.

Brigade movements have been the staple business at Alder-
si ott, more general operations having been postponed till the

tv here they encamped and cooked their rations, marching back
to J ldershott in tho evening. General Parke’s division did
ierne duty, but was to march out at aa early hour on Friday.

REAR-GUARD PROTECTING CONVOY.

Sixty or seventy years have not effaced from the mind of our
nation the memories of its noble Peninsular War. The political
behaviour and condition of Spain may have failed, siuce that
struggle for its independence, to reward British lover3 of
orderly freedom with results worth our large sacrifice of blood
and gold in its cause. But it was a noble deed for the people
and rulers of our island kingdom, when their home safety, with
that of their colonies and commerce, had been secured by
Nelson at Trafalgar, to send their land forces under Moore and
Wellington for the rescue of Continental Europe. The cam¬
paigns of Vimiera, Talavera, Busaco, Torres Vedras, Fuentea
de Noria, Badajoz, Ciudad Rodrigo, Salamanca, and Vittoria,
with the final avenging burst over the Pyrenees, are held to be
some of the best work yet done forthe world by English, Scottish,
and Irish manhood iu arms. With all deference to the Peace
Society, we think such a martial vindication of justice, performed
by the steadfast valour of this nation continually exerted
during six years, was as holy and blessed public work as tho
abolit ion of the slave trade, or even the repeal of the corn la ws !
It is, nevertheless, too true, as the French proverb runs, that
there is no making omelettes without breaking eggs ; and we
cannot light battles, or kick out Napoleons, without killing a
number of brave men. We admit, however, that the French
side had its brave men as well as ours ; and some of them
appear in the French picture (from one of Goupil’s photo¬
graphs) represented in our Large Engraving. The miuor
incidents and accessories here do not require much com¬
ment. The slain man in the dress of a mountaineer peasant,
who lies prostrate among the rocks in the foreground, was
probably a native guide. The convoy of laden mules is slowly
wending its way over the mountain pass—somewhere in Biscay,
we may suppose—to supply the main army, some miles ad¬
vanced. This “rear guard” is “protecting” that “convoy,”
as we see, in a characteristic military manner.

MUSIC.

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.

The only specialty of last week occurred on Saturday, when
“ La Sonnaxnbula ” was given, with the ddbut of Signor Piazza,
one of the new singers promised in Mr. Gye’s prospectus of the
season. The gentleman named made his first appearance in
England, and obtained a well-deserved success by the display
of a fight tenor voice of agreeable quality, with good intonation
and excellent cantabile style. His admirable delivery of the
commencing portion of El vino’s scena, “ Tutto 6 seiolto,” pro¬
duced a very marked impression, and such continuous applause
that the movement had to be repeated. Mdlle. Albani’s Amina
gains in charm and power, and her performance on Saturday
was enthusiastically received. M. Faure resumed tho character
of Count Rodolfo, in which he sang and acted with his well-
known refinement And finish.

The opera on the previous Thursday was “ Dinorah ; ” that
on the Friday, “ Guglielmo Tell ”—both repetitions.

Six performances were announced this week. On Monday
“ L’Africaine ” was given for the last time this season. On
Tuesday, Madame Vilda reappeared, aud displayed improved
powers as an actress and a singer by her performance as
Norma. She was deservedly applauded in several instances,
particularly at the close of the cavatina, “Casta Diva.” In
the duet with Adalgisa, “Deh con te,” Madame Sinico divided
the applause with the prima donna, and the concluding
allegro had to be repeated. Signor Pavaui was the Pollione,
and Signor Bagagiolo the Oroveso.

On Wednesday “Guglielmo Tell” was again performed;
cast as recently, except the character of Arnoldo, which was
represented by Signor Marini, for the first time in England.
This gentleman obtained a special success by his fine declama¬
tory singing, especially in the duet with Tell, in the great
trio with that character and Walter, and in Arnoldo’s final
solo, “Corriam,” in which he appeals to his followers to aid
him in the rescue of the Swiss patriot. Iu this passage the
exceptionally high rauge of Signor Marini (including a brilliant
Mi de poitrtne) produced a very great effect, and secured a
veritable triumph for the singer, of whom we shall soon have
further occasion to speak. The cast of the opera otherwise
was as recently.

For Thursday “Les Diamana de la Couronne ” was an¬
nounced, for Friday “ Der Freischlitz,” and for to-night (Satur¬
day) “Dinorah.” “Mignon” is to be produced on Tuesday
next, and “ Luisa Miller ” on the following Tuesday, the closing
night of the season being fixed for July 18.

HER MAJESTY’S OPERA.

Since the return of Madame Christine Nilsson (already
recorded) that great singer has appeared a second and a third
time aa Margherita, in “Faust.” Her next appearance was
announced for Thursday, in Balfe’s posthumous opera, “11
Talismano,” of the production of which we must speak hereafter.

The proceedings last week at this establishment included
the first appearance in England of M. Achard, the eminent
French tenor, who achieved a great success by his fine acting
and singing aa Raoul, in “Les Huguenots,” a part which ia
well suited to him in both respects. The romance in the first
scene was so effectively given as to draw down unusual
applause ; and the impression thus early produced was enhanced
in the duel-septet and the great duet with Valentina in the
fourth act, in both of which the resonant tones of M. Achard’s
high chest notes were admirably displayed. The Valentina of
Mdlle. Titiens presented all its usual excellence ; among other
important and familiar features of the cast having been the
Urbano of Madame Trebelli-Bettini and the San Bris of Signor
Agnesi.

“ Rigoletto ” was performed, on Monday, with the same
cast as that of a few weeks ago, except in the character of the
Duke, in which Signor Gillanai made a successful first appear¬
ance. He was much applauded in the ballata of the first
scene, in his share of the duet with Gilda (“Signor, ne
principe”), and in the popular canzoue, “La donua d mobile,”
the second verse of which had to be repeated. The cast other¬
wise was the same aa recently.

Drury Lane Theatre was closed on Tuesday evening to allow
of a dress rehearsal of “ Ii Talismano,” which has been put on
the stage with great splendour 03 to scenery, costumes, &c.
With these advantages, and a cast that includes Madame
Christine Nilsson and Signor Campanini in the principal cha¬
racters, there is every prospect of a successful result.

The first of this year’s grand opera concerts at the Royal
Albert Hall took place on Saturday afternoon, when a varied
selection of music ovas performed by members of the company
of her Majesty's Opera The solo singers were Mdllea.
Titiens. Singelli, Alwnia Valleria, Justino Macvitz, and
Risarelli, Madame Trebeili * Bettini, Mjt. Bcntham, Signori

Fancelli, Urio, Agnesi, Galasai, Da Reschi, Borella, and Herr
Behrens. The fine opera band contributed some orchestral
pieces, and Mr. W. G. Cusins conducted.

In pursuance of the scheme of illustrating national music—
suspended on May 9 for the great flower show, and in the fol¬
lowing week for the fdte to the Emperor of Russia—the
Crystal Falace summer concert of Saturday last was devoted to
compositions of tho English school. Tho programme comprised
anthems, madrigals, glees, part-songs, and ballads, and in¬
cluded the skilful pianoforte-playing of Mr. J. F. Barnett iu
two movements of Sir W. S. Bennett’s fourth concerto ; the
pianist having conducted the performance of a “ scherzo ” from
a MS. symphony of hia own composition. The selection also
comprised two organ solos, skilfully played by Dr. Stainer, and
some of the incidental music composed for “The Merchant of
Venice ” by Mr. Arthur Sullivan, who conducted tho concert
with the exception just referred to. The solo vocalists wore
Mcsdames Lerr.mens-Sherrington aud Patey, Mr. E. Lloyd, aud
Signor Folk The concert of to-day (Saturday) is to consist of
Italian music.

The preparations, musical and otherwise, for the Triennial
Handel Festival at the Crystal Palace are now nearly com¬
plete. The solo vocalists announced are Mdlle. Titiens,
Madame Sinico, Mesdames Otto-Alvsleben, Lomincns-Slierring-
ton, Trebelli-Bettini, and Patey; Mr. Sims Reeves, Mr.
Cummings, Mr. Vernon Rigby, Mr. Santley, Signor Foli, and
Signor Agnesi. On Friday next this great celebration will open
with the grand public rehearsal, at which portions of the pro¬
gramme of each of the three days’ performances will be given.

Miss Philp, long known as a successful composer of songs
and ballads, and as a most efficient teacher of singing,

§ ave her annual concert, yesterday (Friday) w'oek, at St.

sines’s Hall, with a programme that comprised several
of her own pieces, two of which—“Restored ” and “Lillie’s
Good-Night”—were sung by herself with much effect. Other
vocal performances were given by Miss Marian Severn,
Mcsdames Edna Hall and Osborne Williams, Mr. Santley, Mr.
Cummings, and Ileir Heine Ugo. Hen* van Biene and Mr. VV.
Cocnen contributed solos (violoncello and piano), and Sir J.
Benedict, Mr. Lindsay Sloper, Mr. Hamilton Clarke, and
Signor Eandcgger acted as conductors. Tho room was filled
with a fashionable audience.

Sir Julius Benedict’s annual concert has long ranked among
the specialties of onr musical season, and its recurrence on
Monday afternoon offered no exception to the rule. This was
the fourth occasion of its being held in the Floral Hall, which
w as again attended by a brilliant company. Mailamo Adelina
Patti, Mdlle. Albani, and other eminent members of tho Royal
Italian Opera contributed a series of effective vocal pieces,
w hich were interspersed with instrumental solos by Madaino
Norman-Neruda (violin) and Mdlle. Mario Krebs (pianoforte),
and some conceited pianoforte performances in which Sir J.
Benedict, Mr. Charles Halid, Mr. Lindsay Sloper, and Mr. F.
H. C'owentook part. Several of the concert-giver’s compositions
were included in the programme.

Madame Christine Nilsson’s annual benefit concert took
place on Wednesday afternoon, and drew a large attendance to
St. James’s Hall. The great vocalist sang, with marked effect,
“ Angels, ever bright and fair;” “ Let the bright Seraphim ”
(trumpet obbligato, Mr. Reynolds) ; and some Swedish national
melodies, which were encored and replaced by the song “ Give
me a penny.” Other eminent artists of Her Majesty’s Opera
contributed to the performances, which included brilliant piano¬
forte solos by Mdlle. Krebs and the clever pianoforte-playing of
Signor Li Calsi in Spohr’s septet, with string and wind
instruments.

The eightli and last of tho New Philharmonic Concerts took

S lacc on Wednesday evening, when the programme comprised
lendelssohn’s “Scotch” symphony, the overtures to “ Rosa-
munda ” and “ Guillaume Tell,” and Schumann’s pianoforte
concerto, played by Herr Jaell. Madame Trebelli-Bettini and
Signor De Reschi were the vocalists.

Signor and Madame Gustave Garcia gave their first annual
concert, on Wednesday, at St. George’s Hall, to a fashionable
audience, assisted by Mr. Santley, Signor Gardoni, and other
celebrities.

This week’s concerts have included some important piano¬
forte recitals. On Thursday Mdlle. Marie Krebs gave, and to¬
day (Saturday) Madame Essipoff is to give, the second of their
two peiformances ; and yesterday (Friday) Mr, Charles Hallo’s
sixth recital took place.

The sixth concert of the Philharmonic Society takes place
on Monday next, when tho selection will comprise a new vocal
bolero by M. Gounod and Rheinberger’s overture to “The
Taming of the Shrew,” both for the first time of performance.

We have already given an outline ,'of the arrangements for
the forthcoming Gloucester festival. Following this, a festival
is to take place at Leeds on Oct. 14, 15, 16, and 17, the prin¬
cipal features in the performances, so far as at present
announced, being “St. Paul,” selections from “Israel in
Egypt,” the “Lobgesang” (“Hymn of Praise”), Mr. Mac-
farren’s “St. John the Baptist,” Rossini’s “ Stabat Mater.” and
“The Messiah,”

Her Majesty has contributed £50 to the funds of the Royal
Counties (Berks and Hants) Agricultural Society, and has also
entered a large number of cattle and sheep for tho forthcoming
show* at Reading. The Prince of Wales will also be an exhibitor.

The Recordership of Treston has become vacant by the
death of Mr. Thomas Batty Addison, at the age of eighty-seven
years. For the last two years Mr. Addison held the office of
Constable of Lancaster Castle.

The death is announced of M. Auguste Visscher, who was
president of the Peace Congress at Brussels in 1848, and one of
the vice-presidents of the congresses held at Frankfort and
London in 1850 and 1851. M. Visscher was formerly director
of mines in Belgium, and has been president or vice-president
of nearly' 'all the administrative commissions appointed in
Belgium for many years.

Contributed by the young ladies of Gravesend who acted
as flower-strewers at the debarkation of the Duchess of
Edinburgh, Miss Lake, the Mayor’s daughter, received a hand¬
some present on Tuesday. It consisted of a gold and enamel
locket, with the monogram B. I. L. in diamonds. On the face
round this were eight large diamonds, and in the suspending
ring another large stone. Attached was a massive gold chain?
After the presentation the Mayor entertained the young ladies.

NATIONAL SPORTS.

The sport on the Thursday at Epsom was very
fair—though, from the intense heat of the day,
there were comparatively few spectators. M.
Lefevre, whose luck has been terribly bad
this year, at last won a two-year-old race with
Macadam ; but he is only a second-rate colt,
and was easily beaten by the moderate RtSnoe
on the following day The High-Level Hand^cap
fell to Mr. Merry, by the aid of The Monk
(5st. 10 lb.), who might have rim bettor in
the Derby than Glenalmond did; though m
justice to the latter, it is only fair to state that
he twisted a plate in the race and cut him¬
self severely. The meeting of Tangible aud
Oxonian over five furlongs was quite the
most interesting feature of the programme.
Oxonian, who attempted to concede olb.,
jumped ofT with the lead ; but Tangible caught
him at the distance, and won very easily.
This race furnishes one more proof of irnnee
Charlie’s marvellous speed, for it will be re-
membered that, only a few weeks ago at
Windsor, he successfully conceded langible
no less than l(i lb.

The Oaks day was by no means so pleasant
as the Derby day, for the effect of the rain had
completely passed away and there was con¬
sequently a great deal of dust, and the heat
was so oppressive that few of the occupants of
the paddock cared to leave it to witness the
minor races, but preferred to lie about in the
shade and watch the Oaks fillie3. Apology
attracted a good deal of attention from the
report that she hail temporarily gone amiss.
Wo fancy that there could have been little
foundation for the rumour, as she seemed
perfectly cool and collected, and ha3 grown
into a grand-looking mare, having plenty of
size, without being in the least coarse. Miss
Toto scarcely shows so much power; but is
full of quality, and looked very fit. As far
as appearances went, however. Lady Patricia,
the Irish crack, could well bear comparison
with either of them. She has immense length—
in fact, she is just a shade too long^ behind
the saddle ; but it is very difficult to find any
other fault with her, and she brought an un¬
beaten reputation from the other side of the
Channel. Memoria is too round in her barrel,
and has a flashy six-furlong look about her ;
while Princess Theresa is a thorough com¬
moner, and after her canter looked as if she
had been walked through a horsepond. We
wrote of Sister to Rysliworth last week, and
we did not pay much attention to any of the
others except Blanchefleur, who has inherited
much of Sauntcrer’s elegance, and Lady of the
Lake, who does great credit to Broomielaw.

The race itself admits of little description.
Lady Patricia made the running for half a
mile, when Bhe was passed by Apology, who
was never afterwards headed, and won in a
common canter by three lengths from Mass
Toto, who caught Lady Patricia at the bell, and
beat her by a length. Blanchelleur was fourth,
Aventuri<?re fifth, and Sister to RyBhworth
sixth. The only unfortunate feature in the
race was that Miss Toto was so seriously inter¬
fered with by Princess Theresa and Lady
Patricia that sue lost many lengths. Apology,
however, won in such hollow fashion that we
doubt if the actual result could have beeu re¬
versed ; stiff, the next meeting of the pah-
will excite much interest. The Epsom Cup, a
new race, to which £500 was added, proved
very successful. It was won by Thunder
(8 st. 4 lb.), who was one of the least fancied
of the eleven competitors. Couronne dc Fer
(8 st. 7 lb.) ran a great horse, for he finished
a good fourth, beating Kostrevor (7 st. 101b.)
much further than he did in the Derby, in
suite of the difference in weight. Altogether,
the meeting was a very pleasant one, and,
should all go well with George Frederick and
Apology, we may anticipate a repetition of the
Doncaster and Marie Stuart struggle next
September.

We can only glance very briefly at the
numerous cricket-matches. At Prince’s, North
has beaten South by three runs, after a mo3t
exciting contest, in which the scoring was not
high, Lockwood (53) and Jupp (52) doing the
best for their respective sides. A very weak
Lancashire team fell easy victims to Derby¬
shire ; Surrey, for which Jupp (00) played
exceedingly well, beat Gloucestershire by six
wickets ; and the M.C.C. and Ground, thanks
chiefly to the fine batting of Mr. Hornby (72
and, not out, 27), defeated Notts by just the
same number of wickets.

THE ILLUSTRAT ED LO NDON NEWS„

LONDON, SATURDAY, JUNE 20, IST^T

One of those surprises marked the sitting of the National
Assembly at Versailles on Monday last which, if it could
he truly regarded as resulting from the growth of solid
conviction, might be interpreted as the opening of a door
of hope towards the future of France. An approach has
been made towards the fusion of the Right and Left
Centres. It was not very precise in its character. It
may have represented rather an uneasy shift, due to the
stress of immediate party exigencies, than a decided step
towards the settlement of the common weal. In any case,
it was important for what it indicated, still more than
for what it was. M. Casimir Perier, a foremost repre¬
sentative of the Left Centre, submitted to the Assembly a
resolution, the purport of which was to instruct the
Committee on Constitutional Laws to proceed in their
work on the basis of a Republic consisting of two
Chambers and a President, recognising the Septennatc
of Marshal MacMahon, and making provision for the
early organisation of a Constitutional Government in
conformity with these facts. The motion, after brief
but earnest discussion ou tlie question of “ urgency/'
was announced by the President of the Assembly to have
been carried by a majority of four votes. A subsequent
motion, put forward by the Marquis de Larochefoucauld
Bisaccia, for proclaiming a Legitimist Monarchy, was
rejected by a majority of a hundred.

There is every reason to believe that this apparent
change in the disposition of the Assembly has been
brought about by the fear of Bonapartism. M. Bourgoing’s
election, a short time since, has opened the eye3 of the
most enlightened members of the Right Ceutre to the
probability, amounting almost to certainty, that whilst
they are contending for Monarchy they are but preparing
the rural population of France for the acceptance of
Monarchy in the shape of Caisarism. As matters stand,
the constituencies would gladly acquiesce in Republican
institutions embodying a Conservative spirit; but they
cannot afford to live on in protracted uncertainty.
Industry, commerce, finance—all the great national
interests which tell most vitally upon individual life—
suffer severely during the continuance of political
suspense. So long as a permanently - organised
Republic is rendered impracticable by the Parliamentary
action of the Monarchists, the electors feel an
inducement to favour that form of government
which appears to be most immediately practicable.
They have no objection to Monarchy, if only Monarchy
can make good its own pretensions. The Due de
Chambord has made himself impossible. The Orleanist
Princes have put themselves into a false position. The
Prince Imperial may be looked upon as the sole remain¬
ing candidate for the throne. The contest lies between
him and the Republic. The longer it is maintained the
greater his chances of success. A permanent political
organisation of the country is regarded by increasing
numbers as its first want. If tlie Republic can give
them that, they are for the Republic. If Cesarisin alone
can , G , n ‘? uro ^ they will submit to Cesarism.

This gradually expanding phase of the mind of the
country has produced, and is producing, its effect upon
the Right Centre of the Assembly. Some of the moat
conspicuous members of that party seo and appreciate
the danger of the position. What with the adhesion of
some to the Left Centre, scarcely lass Conservative than
themselves, and what with the forbearance of others, a
majority in favour of M. Casimir Pdrier’s motion was
announced from the chair. It is doubtful whether,
if a scrutiny of votes were taken, the majority would
be found to have been real. But in this case
the number of votes cannot be accepted as a true test of
their significance. The importance attaching to the
decision of Monday last grows dut of the tentative

appi oximation of the two Centres. It is this which
indicates a real change in the disposition of the Assembly.
It is this which looks like the dawn of a better day for
France. The actual majority of votes may have been
casual, or even unreal; but the contact, for the first time
since the overthrow of M. Thiers, between fhe two
Centres, slight as it may have been, promises a m^re
reasonable arrangement of parties, and justifies the hope
of a more stable basis for the future government of
France. So, at any rate, it has generally been con¬
sidered. The comments of the press, both Parisian and
provincial, interpret the vote in this light. Experience
will hesitate to found upon the decision any confident
expectations of the good which may follow it. But its
aspect is unquestionably towards the light; and, unless
the blossom be nipped by a succeeding frost, one may
indulge the hope of a gladsome fruit-time not long hence.

It is the more desirable that such a hope may be
realised inasmuch as the success of the Bonapartists
would amount to an earnest of renewed disturbance, not
merely of the internal tranquillity of France, but of her
foreign relations. It may be, as it is commonly said to
be, that the French people prize social equality far more
highly than political freedom; but it is incontestable
that at the present time they value order, peace, and
a free scope for industry and commerce far above
martial glory. And they know that Cesarism means an
essentially military regime, and that militarism carries
within, itself schemes of revenge. It may not be on
the instant, but it would not be at any remote distance,
should the Prince Imperial be summoned to mount the
throne of liis father, that his council chambers would be
crowded with soldiers ambitious of effacing the stain
which the late war with Germany left upon the honour
of France. Already taxation is as heavy as can be borne.
The land proprietors, the manufacturers, the miners, and
the merchants of France, crave a period of quietude
and confidence. It is indispensable to the rehabilitation
of their financial soundness. But this is not alL
Bonapartism implies a menace to Germany. Even pre¬
sent circumstances have excited an uneasy feeling at
Berlin. It is difficult to conjecture how the Government
of the Northern Confederation of Germany w ould meet
the restoration of Imperialism in France. The calamity
at Sedan, like that at Waterloo, may perhaps fade away
from the memory of Freuclimen after a lapse of years,
and purposes of revenge may wither unripened. But it
is not wonderful that French patriotism should recoil
with fear from the prospect of a new Napoleonic era.
This, however, appears to be now a competing chauce
with the Republic. Of the latter it may be said
that it has given to France an earnest of its peaceful
conservatism. It has never descended into the streets.
It has never disputed the sovereignty of the Assembly.
It has prepaid the war indemnity. It lias relieved the
soil of France from German occupation. It has main¬
tained a friendly understanding with all its neighbours.
It has restored France to a high position in Europe. It
has reorganised the army. It has administered justice ;
and, under difficulties which could have been hardly
foreseen, it has resuscitated the spirit of the French
people. Reasonable men who love their country can
hardly shut their eyes to these facts. The leaders of the
Right Centre, convinced that monarchy is impracticable
save in the shape of Imperialism, cannot well do other
wise than lean towards the Left Centre. Such, at all
events, is the situation brought under view by the vote
of Monday last. It was the beginning of a political
fusion. Let us hope that it will have a more successful
end than that of the family fusion of the Bourbons.

THE COURT.

The Queen gave a dance at Balmoral, on Thursday week, to
the tenantry, tervants, and gillies on the Royal estates. The
festivities were held in a marquee erected in front of the castle.
Her Majesty snd Princess Beatrice, with the ladies and gentle¬
men in waiting, were present a part of the time. Captain G.
Harvey, Lieutenant J. Drury, and Lieutenant S. Lauv, of tie
Sflth (Duke of Edinburgh’s) Regiment, were invited to luncheon
at the castle on the following day, and were afterwards pre¬
sented to the Queen. Her Majesty, accompanied by Princess
Beatrice, drove to the Glossalt Shiel on Saturday last, return¬
ing to the castle in the evening. The "Very Rev. Principal
Tulloch, of St. Andrew's University, arrived at Balmoral. On
Sunday the Queen and Princess Beatrice attended Divine
service at Crathie church. The Rev. Principal Tulloch
officiated, and in the evening dined with her Majesty, leaving
the castle the following day. The Queen, with Princes3
Beatrice, has made frequent excursions during the week, having
driven to Glen Tanar and to Monaltrie, upper Crathie, and
other places on Deeside. On Sunday afternoon her Majesty,
with the Princess, drove to Micras, and presented Mr. add
Mis. John Brown with portraits of the Duke and Duchess of
Edinburgh.

During the servants* ball at tbe castle Dr. Prophit (who was
one of the visitors) was summoned to attend a young man (one
of the Royal tenants), who had been attacked with paralysis.
The Queen, when informed of the case, with her accustomed
consideration, requested Dr. MarahalJ, her Majesty's medical
attendant, to accompany Dr. Prophit.

The Queen and Princess Beatrice will return to Winlsor

A FASHIONABLE CHARITY BAZAAR.

Tho female sex, from its earliest infancy which affects to
caress a doll of wax or wood, is fond of playful make-believe
employments. We may not indorse those hard lines of an
English satirist:—

With vanring vanities from every part.

They shift the moving toyshop of the heart.

All is not mere vanity, but graceful and innocent play. Life
would be dull to some of us men, if our women and our little
girls weie averse to spoit and jest. But they are apt, we
observe, to decorate and enliven their most serious undertakings
with the gay devices of a tasteful fancy. Hence comes their
predilection for Ritualism in the public worship of tho Church.
The fantastic additions, ever changed to fresh shapes of novelty,
which double or triple tho cost of a lady's dress, arc a sign of
this disposition. To the modern English gentleman no business
is more simple and practical than ordering and wearing his
needful clothes. But his wife and daughters will exert all their
wonderful ingenuity, and that of the milliner, in contriving
those factitious or non-essential features of attire. Well, well!
taking them as they are, as they must l>e, for better and for
worse, let us say no inoro but “Heaven blcs 3 them!” and
“ What should we be without them ? ”

All their proceedings, we again declare, when they are most
zealous in the cause they have wedded, are bedizened in this
manner with ornamental fictions. If they would relieve the
distressed victims of a war or famine, they do it not by the
direct gift of money or money’s worth, but rathor by the
purchase of tickets for a ball or concert, or garden party. Or
they get up a raflie, or they sell pretty trifles at a charity
bazaar. Hero, indeed, as shown in our Illustration, we see
how they can “shift tho moving toyshop," with that mar¬
vellous natural talent for the display of attractions and for the
seduction of their customers, which enables them, after all, to
rule the world. Such is life ; and in thh* pleasant scene of
mimic commerce, where the unprotected male visitor feels his
utter helplessness to resist their cajolery, we behold a time
picture of human society in every laud and age. “ Women’s
rights,” forsooth 1 we should he*the last to withhold in any
proved caseof oppression by the muscular arm of the man. Alash
for the male brute’s bare back is our prescription for that dis¬
order. But among the unquestioned rights of womanhood i 3
that of tempting, coaxing, toying, and coquetting, for the ex¬
tortion of gold and silver from the pockets of deteucaleas men.
Go on, dear creatures ! and prosper in your charming trade l

The members of the Thames Angling Preservation Society
have their annual di nn er on Wednesday next, at the Star and
Garter Hotel, Richmond—Mr. 0. E. Coope, M.P., in the chair.

DECISIVE CHARGE OF THE LIFE GUARDS
AT THE BATTLE OF WATERLOO.

We may assume that this picture i3 familiar to some of our
readers, but wc do not think it is so well known as its merits
deserve. The composition will, however, speak for itself. The
most acceptable observations we can offer in connection with
the work will, probably, be a few biographical particulars re¬
lating to its comparatively little-known painter, Luke Cleunell;
especially as the artist’s short and brilliant career had a pecu¬
liarly painful close, to which this very picture may be regarded
as accessory. Luke Clennell was bom iu 17S1, near Morpeth,
in Northumberland, and waa the son of a farmer. Ho was
apprenticed to a grocer, and for a short time was with a tanner;
but*, when he had reached sixteen years of age, his love of
drawing and making caricatures (which led hioi into Bcrapes)
induced his friends to apprentice him for seven years to Bewick,
the wood-engravor. With this famous artist he made rapid
progress. He copied on the wood and engraved the designs of
Ids fellow-pupil, R. Johnson, for the tail-pieceB of the “Water
Birds," and te these ho added some beautiful little sca-
picccs and shore views of his own design. In 1801
he came to London, married the daughter of Charles
Warren, the engraver, and obtained full employment in wood
engraving. Among his works of this class are the illustrations
of Falconer’s “Shipwreck," Rogers’s “Poems,"from,Stothard’s
designs, which admirably preserve tho designer’s grace and
feeling ; and the diploma of tho Highland Society from a design
by West, P.R.A., for wliioh the Society of Arts gave him their
gold medal. Meanwhile he had been practising his pencil in
water colours; he made the designs ior Sir Walter Scott’s
“Border Antiquities," and was a contributor to the Water¬
colour Exhibition. Samples of his skill in this direction are in
tbe national collection. Oil jointing then engaged his atten¬
tion, and he resolved to abandon wood engraving. His pictures
were distinguished in the Academy exhibitions from 1812 till
1816. The picture we engrave was the result of ClennelPs suc¬
cessful competition for the premium of 150 gs., offered by the
directors of the British Institution for the best sketch of the
subject. It was afterwards engraved by Bromley. The success

the early age of thirty-six. The remainder of our story U mo3t

engraving, and oven poetry and music ; for ho bad a tine voice,
and had known Bums and sung his songs. But his reason was

benevolent gentlemen, Mr. Samuel Rogers the treasurer, and
Mr. J. Britton, F.S. A., the lion, secretary. Messrs. Graves and

FRANCE.

(From our Correspondent in Paris.)

Thursday, Juue 18.

Tbe impotence of the present National Assembly to establish
either Monarchy, Empire, or Republic, and. the necessity of its
sreedy dissolution, become more evident every day, On -1 outlay
the urgency of definitively constituting the regime under which
wc have been nominally living during the past four years was
debated and put to the vote, and a meagre majority of four in
favonrol the Republican proposition proves the utter impmssauce
for constituent purposes of the present legislative body. The
di'custion in question was raised by tbe Left Centre, which had.
charged M. t'asimir Fitter with presenting a project calling
uron the Committee of Thirty to take as basis of its labours the
first article of tbe Constitutional law definitively proclaiming
tho Republic, presented by M. Thiers shortly before his Over¬
throw and the law of November, 1873, conferring the jpre-
sidency upon Marshal MacMalion for seven years. M. Wrier
explained the motives which hail led the Left Centre to bring
forward this project in a short but onergetic speech, in which
he successively alluded to the Bufferings of all classes of the
community. It is necessary, he said, to put an end to tho
present incertitude, to effect which a Conservative Republic
must bo organised; and he concluded by calling upon the
Assembly to vote the urgency of his proposition.

M 1 ambert de Ste. Croix, who succeeded him at the
tribune, cainc forward with a hill organising Marshal
MacMahon’B powers, and expressly specifying that, at the close
of tho Septennafc, the present Republican Constitution might bo
revised or altogether done away with—a proposal which found
a warm supporter in General Changamier, who urged upon his
coHeagucs the necessity of adopting it. A short address from

Laboulave, who energetically seconded M. Boner s motion,
followed ; and then M. de Kerdrel submitted to the Assembly
a third proposition virtually stipulating tho maintenance
of tbe statu quo. M. Raoul Duval, who has always passed
for a Bonapartist in disguise, profited by the occasion to
reveal bis true colours, and advocated a plebiscitum, amid
tho plauditB of the Imperialist portion. The startling
event of the day, however, was the appearance of the
Due de Larochefoucauld-Bisaccia, French Ambassador in
Lcndon, at the tribune with a motion restoring the Monarchy
in the person of the Count de Chambord, and conferring the
al solute functions of Lieutenant-General of tho Kingdom upon
Marshal MacMahon. The reading of this proposition was
plotted with derisive murmurs by the Left, ana with loud
ni plausc by the few members belonging to the extreme Royalist
fraction. The Chamber eventually divided, and the urgency
of M. Casimir Pdrier’s motion was voted by 345 ayes against
7’41 nocs. The proposition of M. de Sainte-Croix was next
referred to the Committee of Thirty, but that of the Due de
Larochefc ucauld failed to secure the necessary number of votes
to attain that result. M. de Kerdrel temporarily withdrew his
rropctilion in favour of maintaining the statu quo, understood
to have been brought forward at Marshal MacMahon’s private
instigation, and the Assembly separated, profoundly im-
t reseed by the importance of the vote on M. Casitnir
Panel’s motion ; for, although the majority proved extremely
meagre, the result jp, nevertheless, highly significant. A month
ago Si. P^ricr’s proposal would have failed to obtain the same
number of votes in its favour. But the recent Bonapartist
agitation—notably the election of M. de Bourgoing in tho
Ni6vre and the scandalous circular concerning it which wa3
lately submitted to the Assembly, together with certain dis¬
graceful disturbances of which the St. Lizare railway station
has been the scene—appear to have influenced many deputies.
At Tuesday’s sitting four members, including General de Cissy,
Vice-lTesident of the Council, came forward to say that they
had or that they intended to have voted against the Casunir
Pcrier proposal; but although the Marquis de Franclieu male
a frantic attempt to induce President Buffet to reverse
Monday’s decision the latter showed himself impartial for
once and declined to take any such unconstitutional step.

The consideration of M. Caaimir P^rier’s bill providing for
the ciganisation of the French Republic was begun by the
Committee of Thirty yesterday. Tho Committee unauimou3ly
acknowledged the * necessity of making its report to the
Assembly as speedily a3 possible, as the measure had been
voted urgent. .

The disturbances at the St. Lazare railway station which
agitated Paris for several days and necessitated the presence of
the military were entirely due to the Bonapartists, who sought
to revenge themselves for the epithet with which M. Gambetta
recently branded them by acts of personal violence. The
manifestations began with shakings of fists and shouts of
*' A has Gambetta !” and as the sergents-de-ville took the side
of the Bonapartist agitators, and dragged Republican deputies
quietly passing through the station en route tor the Assembly
before a commissary of police, personal violence was at last
tad recourse to. On Thursday evening an individual called
the Comte de Sto. Croix, who had already undergone several
years’ hard labour for having, when a common soldier, stabbed
his corporal in the stomach with a bayonet, struck the ex¬
dictator in the face with his fist, and was about to repeat the
assault with his stick when a deputy, M. Ordinaire, warded
off the blow with his hand, several of the fingers of which
were severely cut. The Count was arrested, and brought, ou
Saturday, before the tribunal of correctional police, when, his
criminal antecedents having been proved by the public pro¬
secutor, he was summarily sentenced to six months’ imprison¬
ment and 200f. fine. In consequence of these disgraceful
scenes, the Government—which, through M. de Four ton, the
Minister of the Interior, formally defended the culpable nog-
ligeuce and undisguised partisanship of the police—was inter¬
pellated by the Republican party in the Assembly; but,
terrified at the prospect of a new Ministerial crisis, the Right,
although opposed to the Bonapartist agitation, refused to vote
against the Cabinet, so that the order of the day was carried
by 377 votes to 326.

The attendance at Longchamps last Sunday to witness the
running for the Grand rrix do Paris was, perhaps, more
numerous than it has ever been since the race was originally
established ; but, although Marshal MacMahon and Madame la
Marechale, with the Burman Ambassadors and a crowd of state
functionaries, occupied the cx-Imperial tribune ; although the
grand monde was au complet in the Enceinte du Pfoage, it was
generally admitted that the gathering was far from as brilliant
as it foimcrly used to be. The weather, being remarkably
windy and far from warm, possibly induced many elegantes to
postpone the inauguration of their toilettes d'dte until a more
propitious occasion ; added to which the unusually numerous
attendance of the bourgeoisie and the lower classes gave more
of a popular character to the gathering than it has yet enjoyed,
and necessarily divested it of much of its former exclusive ele¬
gance. On the return home up the Avenue do 1’ Impdratrice
the proportion of cabs and omnibuses to private carriages was
certainly three to one. The race was easily w*on by Mr.
Marshall’s colt Trent, who defeated tho French favourite

Saltarelle—the recent winner of the Chantiliy Derby by a
good length.

SPAIN.

It is announced from Madrid that, the bad weather having
ceased, the army has resumed its movements ; but the only
military news is to tho effect that Marshal Concha is con¬
centrating his forces at Tafalla. A Pampeluna telegram an¬
nounces that General Echague had arrived there with GOOD
men. Ho is understood to be operating on the left Hank of the
Carlists, The defeat of the Carlists under Don Alfonso, at
Alcora, near Cnstellon, in the province of Valencia, is con¬
firmed. The son of Don Henry dc Bourbon was killed at the
head of the Carlist Zouaves. .

By official decree the Council of Public Instruction, abolished
by the last Government at Madrid, has been re-established.

ITALY.

In the Senate a Government bill authorising an extensive
scheme of harbour improvements was reported against by a
committee, who recommended its postponement till the new
financial measures had been introduced. Tho Senate, however,
proceeded with its consideration, and adopted the main section
of it relative to deepening the harbours at Genoa, Leghorn, and
Venice. A Royal decree proroguing the Parliament was pro¬
mulgated on Tuesday.

The Tope held a Consistory on Monday for opening and
shutting the mouths of the cardinals and appointing several
bishops. His Holiness blessed a gorgeous banner presented by
the College of Georgetown, in America, to “ Our Lady of
Lourdes.” The banner was sent to Rome for that purpose,
and was submitted to the Tope by two students of the College
of Georgetown, accompanied by their mother, Mrs. Semmes, a
relative of the commander of the Alabama. The Pope is said
to have appeared in excellent health on Tuesday, the twenty-
eighth anniversary of his election, and to have taken an active
part in celebrating tho day. In receiving a deputation of
artists ho made a long speech, urging them to persevere in
their devotion to the Church and the Holy See. Among the
other deputations which w'ent to the Vatican to congratulate
the venerable Pontiff were the College of Cardinals, the Noble
Guards, and ex-officers of the Papal army.

Great attention has been bestowed on the American pilgrims
in Rbme. A public reception was given to them yester¬

They were enrolled honorary members of the chief Roman
branch of the association. On Sunday, after mass and a sermon
by Cardinal Franchi, amidst the ruins of the catacombs, they
were invited to lunch by Mgr. de Me rod©. It is said that the
sum presented l>y them to tho Pope amounts to £20,000,
besides a small box containing nuggets from mines in America.
The pilgrims take home with them from Romo an immense
number of photographs of the Pope. They informed Cardinal
Borromeo of their intention to organise periodical pilgrimages
among their Catholic countrymen.

A “ Catholic Congress” assembled at Venice, yesterday
week, under the honorary presidency of the Patriarch of
Venice. The Duke de Salviati was oleeted actual president by
acclamation. At its Sunday sitting telegrams announcing sup¬
port were read from the Duke of Norfolk, M. Louis Veuillot, and
Baron Lobe. The congress held its last sitting on Tuesday,

A public meeting was held at Bristol, on Thursday woek,
under the presidency of the Mayor, to take steps for the estab¬
lishment of a college of science and literature for Bristol and
the Y cfct of E ng la nd. Among the speakers were the Bishop
0 . Exeter, Dr. Jowett (Master of Bailiol College, Oxford),
Irofcssor \\ illiamson (President of the British Association),
Dr. V>. L. Carpenter, and others. Last year the faculty of
tlio Lnstol Medical School were proposing to establish them¬
selves in new buildings, when fciic 3 ’ were met by the suggestion
that the opportunity should, if possible, be used for the founda¬
tion oi a technical college of science, of which the medical
school might form one department. Negotiations were accord¬
ingly begun with the council of the Bristol Musourn and
Library, with the view; of establishing such a college in con¬
nection w ith their institution. At this stage of the proceedings
a communication was received from the Master of Bailiol in¬
forming the committee that hia own college, and probably at
least one other, would be likely to co-operate in such a work.
This led to further negotiations, which ended in a definite offer
of co-operation from Bailiol and New Colleges. Tho co-opera¬
tion of these colleges takes the shape of a promise to assist in
the establishment and Eupport of the proposed college by means
of a yearly contribution of £300 each for a period of not less
than live years, xirovided that so long as they continue their
assistance they shall be represented on the governing body.

2. That the instruction given be literary as well as scientific.

3. That the requirements of adult education be scientifically
considered. 4. That the instruction (other than that of the
medical classes) be open to women, so far as can be arranged.
5. That lectures on general subjects bo provided. To these
conditions the committee who had taken charge of the move¬
ment leadily assented. Resolutions approving of tho object of
the scheme were unanimously adopted, and liberal offers towards
an endow incut fund wc*rc announced.

The Rev. Dr. Collis, Warden of Trinity College School,
Stratford-on-Avon, has appointed Ernest Fynes Clinton, M.A.,
late scholar of St. John’s College, Cambridge, as successor, iu

Trinity College, Cambridge, to an assistant mastership iu
Trinity College School.

The last speecli-day of Merchant Ta 3 T lors’ School took place,
on Thursday w f eek, in the old school previous to its migration to
its now buildings at Charterhouse. Among those present wero

The Dean of Westminster is announced to preside, noxt
Thursday, at the distribution of prizes and the annual diuuer

training of Nonconformist ministers.

POLO AT HURLINGHAM.

This newly-imported Oriental pastime, which may be called
“hockey on horseback,” was described and illustrated seaio
years ago, as playctl at Lahore, in North-Western India. Its
earliest performers in this eountiy were some officers of tho
Royal Artillery and of a regiment from India on Woolwich-
common* The 9£h Lancers have taken the lead in an exercise
that agrees so well with tho skilful horsemanship, and handling
of a shaft with adroit precision, required by their mode of
action in tlie field. The Guards have also patronised
this lively game; aud on Saturday, the Gth insi., at the
opening of tho new polo-ground of tho Hurlingham Club, in
the presence of the Royal Princes and Princesses, Life Guards
wore matched against Horse Guards. The suburban but rural
mansion and estate of Hurlingham, iffcasantty situatod ou tho
banks of the Thames at Fulham, belongs to a club of noblemen
and gentlemen, who meet there almost daily for pigeon-shoot¬
ing. But its gardens, lawns, paddocks, and grovc3 are suitable
for other uses of social recreation; and the polo-ground, 3'Jl)
yards to 41)0 yards long and broad, affords a desirable addition
to these opportunities of active enjoyment. The company
assembled on tho opening day was very numerous, in¬
cluding many persons of high rank aud fashion. The
Prince and Princess of Wales and the Duchess of Edinburgh
arrived in one carriage, followed by the Dukes of Edinburgh,
Connaught, and Xeck in a second. Unfortunately, rain com¬
menced in earnest before the beginning of tho game, Tho
match was lietween the 1st life Guards and the Royal Horse
Guards (Blue). Tlio Blues scored au easy victory by live goals,
notw ithstandiug that their ponies were much smaller than chose
ridden b 3 ’ the 1st Life Guards. The sides were:—Horso
Guards : the Marquis of Worcester, Lord Kilmarnock, tho
Hon. T. W. Fitzwiiliam, the Hon. C. W. Fitzwiiliam, and Mr.
R. F. Gascoigne; 1st Life Guards ; Captain tho Hon. It.
Talbot, Captain Folio wes, Captain E. M. Danscy, Captain
Needham, and Mr. J. G. Dunbar. The umpires (whoso office
was a sinecure) were:— For the lab Life Guards, Sir Bacho
Cunard; and for the Blues, Mr. P. Greene. The first aud
fourth goals were made by the Marquis of Worcester, tho
second by the Hon. T. W. Fitzwilliam, and the fifth by tho
lion. C. W. Fitzwilliaui; all the winning side playing well,
although Lord Kilmarnock mis3ed some easy shots. But ho
made tonne big hits, Wiiich on more than one occasion lod to a
goal being t cored. On tlio losing side, Captain Dan 3 ey tried
hard to avert deicafc, and once almost succeeded in obtaining a
goal.

The Royal Polo Club, at tho Lillie-bridge grounds, West
Brompton, played its opening match of this season ou Tuesday
week. Its antagonists were the Monmouthshire Club. There
were six players on each side. Those of the Royal Polo Club
were Lord Kilmarnock, tlie Hon. C. Fitzwiiliam, Messrs. C.
and A Murietta, Sir Bacho Cunard, and Lord Castiereagh. Of
the Monmouthshire Club tho representatives were Captain
Wheeler, Sir Charles Woiseley, Captain Hu line, Mr. Mellor,
Captain W. H. Wheeler, and Mr. F. Hanbury Williams. Tho
Royal Polo Club won. The officers of the l)ch Lancers played
at Lillie-bridge three days last weok against the Rjyal Polo
Club, tlie officers of 4hc Household Brigade, and the Mon¬
mouthshire Club.

Prince Edward of Saxo-Weimar made liis annual official
inspection of the 3rd City of London Riile3 on the Horse
Guards’ Parade-ground last Saturday. On the same day
Major-General Sir J. Hope Grant, G.C.B., made liis annual
official imqiectiou of the London Scottish Rifles in the gardens
of Lambeth Palace; and, like Prince Edward, expressed his
satisfaction at the steady and soldier-like bearing of the men.
The annual official inspection of the 2nd Middlesex (Customs)
Artillery Volunteers took place on tho same day at tlie Tower
ditch, the inspecting officer being Colonel Woisey, R. A. Lieu¬
tenant-Colonel Gould addressed the men, and said Colonel

Wolsey was very pleased with what he had seen.-The Duke

of Cambridge has signified liis intention to inspect the London
Riilc Brigade in Hyde Park to-day (Saturday). The inspection
w ill be held at five o’clock. Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar
will this evening, shortly after six, inspect the 2nd London
Rifles on the Horse Guards’ parade-ground.

Collections were made ou Sunday in mo3t of the churcho 3
and chapels on behalf of the Hospital Sunday Fund. The
Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishops of London,
Winchester, and Rochester, and Dean Stanley, wore among
the preachers in the Established Churches. Iu the Jewish
synagogues collections were made on Saturday; in Roman
Catholic places of worship they are to be taken noxt Sunday.

SKETCHES IN PARLIAMENT.

The Prime Minister is now placed physically in the same
category as Chatham and Palmerston-that is he is becoming a
martyr to gout. For two evenings, “shod with felt, he
bravely bore up against his enemy and kept his place in the
House ; hut at lingtt* was compelled to strike and for
a time he was enabled to appear but once. ^ 1 h« has
brought up a curious state of uncertainty as to who is
deputy leader in the absence of the Premier. According to
etiquette, the Home Secretary, who is foremost in rank, as
first Secretary of State, would be guide anddirector-when the
leader proper was not present; but the one thing in the matter
that is certain is that Mr. Cross is not the delegate of his
chief It would seem that the sub-leadership is put into com¬
mission, Mr. Hardy officiating at one time and the Chancellor
of the Exchequer at another, and sometimes both together.
How Mr. Hardy is pre-eminent and then Sir Stafford Northcote
is predominate ; and some are led to the conclusion that
Mr. Disraeli is not unwilling to allow anyone to'acquire any of
that paramount influence with theHouBe which he undoubtedly
possesses, and therefore changes his lieutenants at intervals.
Generally this answers very well, both Mr. Hardy and Sir
Stafford Northcote exhibiting adequate tact in the performance
of a duty which is, perhaps, not so difficult, in the face of a
helpless Opposition, as it has been ere now.

Sometimes, however, the absence of Mr. Disraeli has been
decidedly felt. For instance, lie was away when the formal
motion was made by which private members were to be deprived
of their Tuesday evenings, and Mr. Hardy undertook to “ bel
the cat ”—that is, he made the possibly prickly proposal
Under these circumstances, those gentlemen who consideredthera-
fselvesvictims did not hesitate to pour out their grievances. They
were led by Sir George Jenkimson, who was the first to be
disestablished of a motion, and who was very plaintive
and hardly resigned; while Sir Wilfrid Lawson wickedly
lamented the absorption into the Treasury Bench of Mr.
Cavendish Bentinck and Mr. J. Lowther, who used, in their
unattached days, to be the stanchest champions of the rights of
private members. No one has had more “innings” this Session than
Air. Butt; nevertheless, he had a good case when he protested
against liis being deprived of the day which he had obtained for
bringing on the question of Home llule in a palpable shape. All,
however, appeared to be settled, and Mr. Hardy had returned
thanks with effusion, when there arose Air. Martin, the Irish
nationalist par excellence, whose aspect somehow suggests the
idea of a hermit of great sanctity, and, in liis low, gentle
tones, which give so much effect to his vigorous and epigram¬
matic sayings, announced that he had made no speech, moved
no motion, this year, and that he was about to be
deprived of the opportunity of discussing the only
subject on which he intended to speak. There was
a mixture of pathos and quiet humour in what he said,
which was effective, though the humour was the most appre¬
ciated ; hut he kindled into force and dignity when he declared
that nothing could or should content Ireland but a Home Par¬
liament. Sad to say, notwithstanding the reality and intensity
of this declaration, the laughter which was going on was in¬
creased. A renewal of remonstrance occurred, in which Air.
Sullivan, of course, took part; for there is scarcely any discus¬
sion, small or great, in which he does not intervene, and the dis¬
cussion got very Irish and hot. Whereupon the second commis¬
sioner of the leadership, Sir Stafford Northcote, interposed, and
in very languid tones said that if the proposal to appropriate
Tuesdays for the Government was objected to, there was the
alternative of immediate “morning sittings.” At this there
was a loud groan of “No,” probably from old members, who
know what a terrible infliction those sittings are, aud the
matter soon dropped.

Successful first appearances arc interesting, and should be
chronicled. One night, when the Government Factories Bill
was in debate, and immediately after All*. Fawcett had made
one of his most tremendous ^speeches, which_ for style aud
manner suggest the idea of arguing with a Nasmyth steam-
hammer, there bounded up a personable young gentleman who
dashed vehemently, confidently, and in the loudest tones of
voice into the discussion. It was soon found that what he was
saying was not mere impulsive bounce, but that he knew what
he was talking about. He proved to be Mr. Edward Stanhope,
a younger son of Earl Stanhope, who had been an assistant
commissioner in an inquiry on a cognate subject to that in
hand, so that he was able, though apparently very youug, to
bring his personal experience to bear upon the discussion. In
the same debate there presently rose a member just a week
old—to wit, Mr. Evelyn Ashley, who has just been returned
for Poolo. As a sou of Lord Shaftesbury, he has an hereditary
right to speak on the factory question ; but by hri zeal, know¬
ledge of the subject, and his fluency of speech he establis bed a
right of liis own to the consideration of the House, It is seldom,
indeed, that an absolute “breakdown ” occurs in the House ;
but even such a catastrophe has now to bs recorded. A gentle¬
man of mature age, stately presence, aud of a nationality that
is presumed to be peculiarly endowed with the gifts of shrewd¬
ness, coolness, and calculation, having given formal notice of an
amendment, and therefore must havo prepared himself to
speak, was so overcome with diffidence, and that in a very
thin House, as to be compelled to forego his observations and
sink opjiressed into his seat.

So many and so incessant have been the discussions in the
Houso on strong drink that the legislative atmosphere has,
metaphorically speaking, been charged with alcohol. There has
been “liquorhere, liquor there, liquor everywhere, but not a
drop to diink.” The Intoxicating Bill, as it is familiarly called,
has been the prevailing topic, and it has been curious to sea
bow fiercely some members have fought for extension of the
time wherein strong drink may bo obtained, of all timo 3 in the
world, at the early hours of the morning. Fallaciously apply¬
ing the word “ refreshment ” to draughts of beer 01 drains of
spirits consumed between six and seven a.m., in the interests
of the labouring class it has been sought to increase the
facility for this fearful practice by making the hour in the
morning at which men may begin drinking, in the alcoholic
sense oi that term, five of tho clock. Then there is a continued
struggle to adapt hours of opening and closing drink-places
specially to every particular district, in opposition to the
main principle of the bill, which is uniformity of hours;
and to this cud it has been Bought to re introduce
the discretion of the licensing magistrates, which was so
peremptorily tabooed on the introduction of tho measure.
This has led to a Alinisterial contretemps, for one even¬
ing an amendment was moved by a stanch supporter
of the Government, for which thirty or forty of their adherents,
joining the Opposition, voted.

The Intoxicating Bill being laid asido for a day, the in¬
terval was devoted to the Permissive Liquor Bill, si the
alcoholic continuity was not broken. This time Sir Wilfrid
Lawson did not open tho debate; but it was left to Air.
WheelhcLEe to utter much “sound aud fury signifying
nothing” to comparative vacancy for nearly an hour. Anou
the debate broadeued and becamo more animated. Air.
Roebuck made a vitriolic contribution to it, and at the moment

when it was approaching boiling heat Sir Wilfrid Lawson
struck in, and was wittier, droller, more good-humoured,
and more fallacious in argument than ever. If his speech
had a fault, it was that it was a little too long; but,
like the Irish post-boy, who always reserved a gallop
for his last mile, he kept some of his be3t joke3 for
the penultimate part of his speech. The House was in tip-top
spirits, ready to cheer and to laugh on the least provocation;
so that Air. David Davies, w T ho lias established himself as
one of the jesters of the assembly, was welcomed with
shouts, and all liis odd, quaint sayings were rewarded with
an applause in which some people, might have fancied
that they detected a touch of ridicule. Indeed, after a
time, when Air, Davies became too eccentric, to use a mild
term, the humour changed, and lie was decidedly snubbed
and formally put down. Soon there appeared a member
who looks as if he was the smallest man in the world, but
symmetrically formed, with an expressive countenance, fine
eye, and evidently” possessed of a glowing temperament and
an enthusiastic and philanthropic spirit. This proved to be Dr.
O’Leary, new member for Drogheda. Ha dashed almost furi¬
ously into the discussion, and^ bringing his therapeutic know¬
ledge into play”, told how alcohol could be made 4 ‘ a good familiar
creature.” It, however, happened that he gave illustrations
of the use, as distinguished from the abuse, of strong drinks
in so unconsciously comical a manner that roars of laughter
interrupted that which in itself was a medico-chemical lecture.
Dr. 0’£eary bore the interruptions with all good humour, only
vehemently repeating statements which he considered im¬
portant again and again, lest they should be lost amid the
hubbub of Laughter and cheers which prevailed. The
Permissive Bill in the result received another blow, and not
the less because the number of those who voted for and
against it was less than that of last year.

PARLIAMENTARY SUMMARY.

HOUSE OF LORDS.

Yesterday” week the subjects of Cadets for the Navy, the
Observation of the Transit of Venus, tli9 Position of tho Scotch

Regulation Bill, which promised to lead to along and animated
discussion, in anticipation of which the House was crowded.
The Bishop, however, withdrew his amendments, and the bill
finally passed through Committee. The Statute Law Revision
Bill was read the second time.

On Tuesday the Supreme Court of Judicature Act (1873)
Amendment Bill, the Infants’ Contracts Bill, and the Statute
Law Revision Bill wero passed through Committee; the

Rovenue Officers’ Disabilities Bill were read the second time.
The Infants’ Contracts Bill was read the third time and passed.
Several other bills were advanced a stage.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

A proposal of Air. Nowdegate’s that the Government should
bring in a bill for establishing inquiry into monastic and con¬
ventual institutions was debated, yesterday week, and rejected
by 237 votes to 94. There were discussions on the admission
of female students to tho medical school of the University of
Edinburgh, the method of determining the constitutionality
of Acts l»y colonial Legislature, sent for approval to her
Majesty, of medical supervision of convict prisons in Ireland,
and other subjects.

Five notices of motion, on going into Committee of Supply,
having fallen through, Air. Lyon Playfair got an early hearing,
on Monday, for his motion for a Select Committee to consider
how best might be secured an improved condition of Alinisterial
responsibility* in respect of the administration of the votes for
education, art, and science. This motion was debated and
negatived. The Education Estimates were then moved in Com¬
mittee of Supply, aud tho general subject discussed very fully.
This year the education vote for England and Wales amouuts to
£1,350,852. Ultimately the vote was agreed to. The science
and art votes, as well as the Scotch education, Galway Colleges,
Post Office, packet service, and telegraph vote3 wore taken.

Tho Intoxicating Liquors Bill wa3, on Tuesday, taken upon
the report, and the greater part of the sitting was occupied in
discussing numerous amendments, a few of which wore adopted.

Sir Wilfrid Lawson’s Permissive Prohibitory Liquor Bill
came before the House for second reading on Wednesday, and,
having been discussed at great length, was rejected by 301
votes to 75. The remainder of tho sitting was chiefly occupied
with the discussion of the Rabbits Bill, the second reading of
which was moved by Mr. Pell. Its main object was to dis¬
entangle the rabbit Irom the game laws, and make clear the
law* in reflation to the killiug of such animals and trespassing in
search of them. Eventually it became a dropped order by lapse
of time. The Personation Bill was read the second time, aud
the Working Men’s Dwellings Bill was passed through Com¬
mittee. . A bill was brought in to amend the law with reference
to the licensing of apothecaries, chemists, aud druggists.

Gn Thursday Air. G. Hardy, in reply to a question from Sir
W . Lawson, stated that Lord Ayles ford had made an apology
to the Great W estem Railway” Conqjauy for his over zeal in
endeavouring, whilst at the head of a yeomanry troop, to eater
the station at Leamington on the occasion of her Majesty’s
journey to the north, and that he had paid a sum o? money to

THE ASCOT MEETING.

With a truly regal amount of added money, and enfcriea wV e
comprised tho cream of our thoroughbreds, nothing bnf «
weather was wanted to render the Ascot meeting agreit & 10
cess. Unfortunately, this cannot be commanded? and the bS"
wind and winterly cold on the first day would have been S5 u
able in March or November. Notwithstanding this great *
back, however, the attendance was very largo, and the TV’?
procession more brilliant than usual, as the Prince aud PrirT
of Wales, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, the Dufo* 5 -
Connaught, Prince and Princess Christian, and the Duke a 1
Duchess of Teck drove up the course prior to the firat ri-
Proceediugs commenced with the Trial Stakes over the A'*’
Aide, which proved far too severe for Oxonian; and TlmmW
who appears to have fully recovered liis great form of hll
season, and has proved a bargain to Matthew Dawow
£1000, had it all his own way from the commencement
of the inclosurc. The Alaiden Plate, for two-year-oil/

was a very favourite race with Sir Jo 3 eph HawW
who chose it for the successful cl6blit of The Palme
and Rosicrucian, so it is a little singular that i>
should once more be won by a youngster of hia breed
ing. This is an own brother to Pero Gomez by head/
man— Salamanca, who was purchased by Air. HouMswnrtK
1300 gs., at the sale of Sir Joseph’s stud last year He b a
bay colt, with great size and power, and we should* think him
a very likely candidate for the highest turf honours but that
he was heavily bandaged on the fore-legs, which seem scarcely
strong enough to carry his heavy frame through a long career
Strntliavin, the second, is a common-looking roan ° who h
scarcely likely to improve much; and, among those unplaced
was Camilla, a half sister to Prince Charlie, by Saunterer-
Eastern Princess, who, though rather small, has all her sire’s
quality, and will do better later in the season. The Prince of
Wales’s Stakes was virtually reduced to a match between the
stable companions, Atlantic and Leolinus; and though the
former had to concede 121b., and only finished a bead in
front of Sir Richard Bulkeley a horse in the Derby, the pre¬
cedents of Queen’s Messenger and Wenlock, and Kmrr 0 f the
Forest and Ripponden, w ere in liis favour, aud he started at the
head of the quotations. Leolinus, however, took full aivan.
tage of his great pull in the weights, and, making the whole of
the running, was never caught, though Atlantic, who ran with
all his usual gamencss, made a brilliant effort at the finish.
The Ascot Slakes was not a particularly interesting race, a?
the class of animals that started was decidedly “below par."
Once more two stable companions, were first and second; but
whereas Fevo (0 st. 10 lb. j*was a strong favourite, Coventry
(G si. 3lb.), the winner, was allowed to start at 20 to 1. Blen¬
heim’s life for the last two seasons has been spent iu unsuc¬
cessful efforts to defeat Prince Charlie, and he must be one of
tliegamest horses in training to stand the repeated punish¬
ment. At last, however, he has earned his reward ; for in the
Queen’s Stand Plate he had Prince Charlie in trouble a quarter
of a mile frrm home, and won easily by two lengths. So
for the first time the “ Prince of the T.Y.C.” his
been beaten over his own course ; but it wa3 clearly apparent
that, for seme unexplained reason, he was nothing like hiinseli;
and, in any case, one defeat cannot tarnish so many glorioni
victories, and Prince Charlie will always be remembered as the
fastest horse that ever trod the turf. The withdrawal of Kaiser,
who was in reserve for the Cup, spoilt the chief interest of the
Gold Vase, which appeared to be at the mercy of Organist A
very slowly-run race, however, did not enable him to reap the
full advantage ot bin fine staying powers, and ho only"
beat M untar gis by a head—indeed, it was the universal o'piuioa
that with Foidham or Challoucr on his back the French horse
would havo won easily. Alias Toto was last throughout, bat
might havo done better had she been ridden differently, as for
the first half of the distance she was pulling double, and wasted
a great dtul of strength in fighting for her head. Still, it is
probable that a mile and a quarter is her best distance, and she
does not relish a cup course.

The weather on Wednesday was so threatening that the
attendance was comparatively small, and tho racing of courw
was not equal to that of the Tuesday, which is always the bat
of the four days. After his fine performance in the Derby,
Couronne de Fer was naturally made a hot favourite for a
Biennial over the Old Mile ; but the Ascot hill is a terrible
obstacle to tho success of a roarer, and both Lemnos and
Sp ectator finished in front of him, the former winning M he
chose. By a curious coincidence, they passed the judge in
precisely the same order as they (lid in this racs last season;
and Quantock, who was a good deal fancied iu some quarters,
found himself quite out of his element in such company.
Lemnos ran well for a long distance in the Prince oi Wales’s
Slakes, and it is clear that but for meeting with an accident in
the course of the race he must have won the City ari
Suburban. Atlantic had no trouble in conceding weight to
the three wretches opposed to him in the Aecot Darby I
but Apology was asked to do a great thing in
Coronation Stakes, in which she had to give no
than 171b. to Blanchelleur. She accomplished it, how¬
ever, in such brilliant style that she must have had any amuat
in hand in tho One Thousand, in which Blanchelleur, meehfl?
her on even terms, was scarcely a length behind, and ii
likely to follow in the footsteps of Achievement, Format
Hannali, and Marie Stuart, on the tqwn moor at Doncwtff-
After her race she was backed several times at lOOO to 4001 j
the St. Leger, and is now decidedly first favourite for tho j
ribbon.” The Royal Hunt Cup, which brought twenty-au w

the post, admits of little description, as the ex-hurakri**

er 1000, further declined last week to 18—a lower rate than

When the inquiry into the adulteration of food was resumed
before the House of Commons Committee, on Monday, Dr.
Augustus Voelcker, chemist to the Royal Agricultural Society,
was examined at some length. He gave much valu¬
able information, and expressed his opinion that it
was desirable to extend the operation of the Adultera¬
tion Act to cattle foods. Dr. A r oelcker was in favour
of establishing an analytical court of appeal, for he was con¬
vinced that the food analysts by their excesses had been the
greatest enemies of the Act. “Australian” and “Dutch”
butter were tbe subjects of investigation before the Committee.
Dr. A T oelckcr. described both compounds, the staple ingredient
in which is American lard. With respect to milk, Dr. Voelcker
countenanced the plea of the sellers that allowance ought to be
made for natural variations. He said he was astonished at
analysts professing to fix the exact quantity of water added.
Another witness was Mr. Berringer, a starch manufacturer,
who stated that he had re-dried tea which had been damaged
by sea-water ; and that formerly he had been in the practice of
re-facing tea,-but not injuriously.

LAW AND POLICE.

Several actions for compensation were tried in the law
courts last Saturday, which was the first day of tho after-term
sittings. In the Court of Queen’s Bench Mr. Brinsley, a civil
engineer, obtained £550 compensation for injuries received in
an accident on the Metropolitan District Railway in August
last. In the Exchequer Court the London Tramways Company
was cast in £30 damages done to a brougham with which one
of their cars came into collision at Clapham-rise.

Having partly heard the arguments on the motion to restrain
in the provinces the performance of “La Fille de Madame
An got, Vice-Chancellor M alius, yesterday week, Baid his
impression was up to the present time much in favour of the
plaintiff's, Mr. and Airs. Liston, as opposed to the defendants,
Miss Emily Soldene and her husband, Mr. Powell; but he
strongly recommended a settlement of the dispute.

Air. AYhalley was, on Wednesday, sued in the Court of
Queen’s Bench by Afr. East, of the Queen's Hotel, St. Martin’s-
le-Grand, a fellow-champion of the Claimant, for £100 advanced
to the defence fund. Plaintiff' having alleged that tho money
was advanced on Mr. Whalley’s personal security, a verdict
was given for the full amount.

An action in the Common Pleas was before Mr. Hnder-
Sheriff Burcbell and a special jury, at the Sheriff”s Court, Red
Lion-square, to assets the amount of compensation to be
awarded in an action of breach of promise of marriage, in
which the damages were laid at £10,000. Tlie plaintiff was
Aiks Elizabeth Ikdtenlieiin, and tho defendant Elias J. Davis.
Judgment having been allowed to go by default, the suit was
sent to this court on the question of damages. An arrangement
was come to, and the damages were assessed at £1000.

In the Court of Chancery, Edinburgh, on Tuesday, before
Sheiiff M’Laren, the claim of Mr. Fulton to the Eglinton
estates was abandoned, and expenses were awarded to the Earl
of Eglinton in so far as he had defended the case.

Sir W. Carroll, who was Lord Alayor of Dublin in I860
and 1S70, Irought an action for libel in the Dublin Court
of Queen’s Bench, lust Saturday, against an artist, claim¬
ing £500 as damages for tho publication of a caricature in
which Sir AYilliam was represented suffering from a fib of gout

with his legs encased in bandages, and underneath the words,
“Is there anything I can go for to fetch for to cany for to
get—a Lord Alayor, a Collector-General, a City Alarshal, and an
Apothecary-General, a City Treasurer, a Town Councillor, any¬
thing, everything.” The jury returned a verdict for the
plaintiff, with £40 damages. In the libel case of “ Carroll v.
Hayes,” tried in Dublin on Tuesday, the jury found a verdict
for the plaintiff', with one farthing damages. The Chief Justioo
certified for costs, upon tho ground that there was personal
malice, that the publication w’as wilful, and that the defendant
had been asked to apologise and had refused.

Henry Jacobs, the Prussian Jew who has distinguished himself
in the Court of Queen’s Bench by liis acquaintance with English
statute law, has learned something of the English doctrine of
“ contempt of court.” He was charged, yesterday week, with
having altered the indorsement of Mr. Justice Brett on a
summons at chambers. His Lordship’s “No order” had been
erased and an address written over it. Jacobs said it had been
done by a solicitor’s clerk, whoso address he did not know. He
was detained in court till the clerk—one Duffield—came, and
explained that Jacobs bad brought him tho summons with the
Judge’s order erased, and liad asked him to fill in the substi¬
tuted words. The Chief Justice severely censured Duffield, and
Eent Jacobs to gaol for six months.

Before the Lord Chief Baron, in the Central Criminal Court,
the five men charged with conspiring to defeat tho ends of
justice by preventing Emily Eaafcerby from giving evidence
against the brothers Diproso were put on trial. At the close
of the evidence, yesterday sveek, Air. Poland summed up for
the prosecution. Tho defence made by Hammond and Baldwin
was that they had acted in the matter as tho Diproses’ servants,
w hile for Harris it was contended that he had acted merely iu
his capacity of attorney. By the Judge's direction Wells
was acquitted, and the other three convicted. Harris was sen¬
tenced to fifteen months' imprisonment, Hammond to four, and
Baldwin to six months’ hard labour. Holman, who had
pleaded guilty, and given evidence criminating his companions,
was discharged on his recognisances to come up for judgment
when called upon. Edward Clapp, who attempted to poison
his child by giving its nurse a tin of milk mixed with white pre¬
cipitate for its use, was sentenced to seven years’ penal servitude.

The June Sessions of the Peace for Aliddlesex v’ere opened
on Monday. Sentence of imprisonment, with hard labour, for
twelve months was passed on William Dalzeil Pearce, a retired
naval officer, aged thirty-two. The prisoner’s crime was obtain¬
ing money by false pretences. Arthur Jones, a plumber, was
convicted ol stealing a silver inkstand, value £15, from the re¬
sidence of Sir William Stephenson, one of the Commissioners of
Inland Revenue. A previous comiction being recorded against
him, he was sentenced to twelve months’ imprisonment, with

hard labour.-On Tuesday William E. Lord, aged eleven, who

was convicted last session of stealing £2 5s. Gd. in the dwell¬
ing-house of Charles Lavender, was brought up for judgment.
The prisoner, it was stated, had been led into tho commission
of crime by having read penny publications relating to tho
adventures of highwaymen. Mr. Serjeant Oox said he should
not send the prisoner to a reformatory, as he waa a very clever
boy, and might lie the means of corrupting other boys. Ho
meant to teach him that he was mistaken in thinking crime was
a grand thing. He would teach him that it was very degrading.
The learned Serjeant then ordered the boy to be kept to hard
labour for six months, and during that time to be twice
whipped, receiving each time fifteen strokes with a birch rod.

A1 rs. Doherty, who had pleaded to an indictment charging her
with an attempt to commit suicide, was certified to be euffering
from “ religious melancholia.” She was formally sentenced to bo
imprisoned for a month previously to her removal to a lunatic

asylum.-On Wednesday Emma Lemon, twenty-eight, pleaded

guilty to several charges of stealing children’s boots and to a
charge of stealing a child and its clothing. She had iuduccd
children lo intrust her w itli their boots and various articles of
clothing, and had then gone away and left them to get home
tho best way they could. The child she had stolen was sent
out on an errand by its mother in Arthur-strcet, New Oxford-
street, and was found some time afterwards, at a police-
station in Lambeth, stripped of nearly all ita clothing ami its
boots. The Assistant J udge sentenced the prisoner to seven
years’ penal serv itude.

A French gentleman was, on Alouday, charged at the
Man&icn House with having challenged the manager of the
Credit Foneier of Alauritius to fight a duel. The defendant,
who stated that he was unacquainted with the laws of this
country^ pledged his word not again to molest tho complmnant;
and, upon the latter expressing satisfaction with this pTOmise,
the proceedings terminated.

At Bow-strc-et, last Saturday, a woman was convicted of
robbing children in the streets of articles of wearing apparel,

UNVEILING THE 6TATUE OF JOHN BUNYAN, AT BED^OHD.

THE BUNYAN FESTIVAL AT BEDFORD.

An illustration was given last week of the bronze statue of
John Bunyan, erected in St. Peter's Green at Bedford, which is
a gift of the Duke of Bedford to that town. The ceremony of
nnveil’ng it was performed on the Wednesday by Lady
Augusta Stanley, wife of the Dean of Westminster. The \ ery
Rev. Dean Stanley, her husband, as well as Earl Copper, Lord
Lieutenant of Bedfordshire, and other persons of distinction,
with the Mayor of Bedford, Mr. G. Hurst, and the Rev. Dr.
Brock and Rev. Dr. Allon, two Nonconformist ministers of
London, took part in these proceedings. The address of Dean
Stanley, at the afternoon meeting, had those graces of true
Christian liberality and fearlesB candour which characterise all
that he says and does. He referred very happily to a well-
known incident In Runyan’s popular allegorical tale * here
are certain places which we pass by in our wanderings in life like
that which the Pilgrim saw, in which two giants dwelt of old,
who, he says, were either dead many a year ago or grown so
crazy and stiff in their joints that they did littie more than
sit in their caves, their mouths grinning at the pilgrims as they
go by. It is such a cave’s mouth as we are in to-day. VV e see
at a distance—a long distance of two hundred years-a giant
who in Bunyan’s time was very stout and hearty. What shall
we call him 1 His name was Old Intolerance—a giant who,
first under the Commonwealth in the shape of the Presbyterian

rgy could not bear with the preaching of an illiterate tinker
^unordained minister, amt then, in the shape of the
iscopal clergy, shut him up for twelve years in Bedford goal.

1 this is deadband gone for eVer (Great cheering, and a voice,
ravo 1 ’) Don’t be too jubilant. The old giant is still alive.

mav be seen in many shapes bn all sides, heard in many
ces y The spirit of burniDg and the spirit of judgment have
: altogether departed from mankind, cither from Churchmen
Nonconformists ; but his joints are very stiff and crazy, and
nn .\ av clergy and magistrates of Bedford are seen
oicing 1 in^commoawlth ^Dissenting brethren at the
u an ration of a memorial to him who once suffered at the
ufa of their spiritual forefathers, it is a proof that the world
J at least in this respect, become |a little more charitable,
’ome a little more enlightened and more capable of seeing
• inward good behind outward differences.

These generous and really Christian sentiments uttered by
an Stanley were heartily responded to by the Nonconformist
rt of the company. In the evening a lecture upon the life
d works of John Bunyan was delivered by the Rev. C. M.
rrell of Liverpool, in the Bunyan Meeting-house. The Mayor
Bedford entertained about seventy guests at a h.nqnet, and
>re was a display of fireworks—not Uie most appropriate kind
treat for such an occasion.

In the hall of the Com Exchange, where tho afternoon
seting was held, a collection of Bunyan relics was exhibited.

Some of these are represented in our Illustrations on the oppo-
site page.

The village of Elstow, a mile from Bedford town, was the
birthplace, in 1628, of John Bunyan; and there is a cottage, on
the site of the one where he was bom, which is shown to
visitors, but Beems to be of later building. The name of this
village was formerly Helenstow, which has been shortened into
Elstow. It has an old Norman church, with a vaulted room
called the chapter house, and with a detached square tower
surmounted by a belfry and steeple. The biography of John
Bunyan, written by Southey, following tho confessions of per-
sonal experiences in Bunyan’s “Grace Abounding,” relat<*
how the young village tinker used to attend this church with
his wife Elizabeth, and to play at tip-cat, with his bat and
ball, after the church service. Calvin had set the example, wo
are told, of doing much the same at Geneva ; but the English
Puritans soon taught Bunyan to think his Sunday recreation
desperately wicked. Another youthful delight of Bunyan’s
was to take a hand in bell-ringing; and many an hour,
at morn or eve, did he pull the ropes in that old
belfry-tower at Elstow. But when he came to think it a
sin, he would stand and look up at the swinging bells, and fear
lest, by a miracle of divine vengeance, they should fall upon
his guilty head. His greatest real fault, in the opinion of liia
neighbours, was the habit of profane cursing and swearing;
for ne was never a drunkard, or proliigate, or dishonest. The

mail-steamer nil on the coast of japan.

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS

JUNE 20, 1874

whole story of his repentance is very interesting
and instructive, proving that the instinct ot
religious life, once fairly awakened, cannot
satisfy its affections with the performance of
ordinary moral duties. To him, as to Luther
and Augustine, and to millions of other earnest
souls, the doctrine of St. Paul at last brought
health and peace. He became one of its preachers
outside the ecclesiastical pale, and suffered many
years’ harsh treatment for this offence in
Christian England two centuries ago. lho
prison in whicu he was long confined was the
old county gaol, which has long since been
demolished ; not the lock-up house, still extant
on the bridge in the town. Bunyan was em.
ployed for some time as an itinerant district
preacher ; and it was at a place called bamsoll
a farmhouse or rural squire's mansion—that he
was arrested, in 1660, while holding a private
prayer meeting, and was haled before Justice
VV ingate. Twelve long years—to June, 1672-—
was tho duration, at first, of liis real, latterly
of his nominal, confinement; for ho wa3
allowed, in the last four years at least, to go
about the town, and he then regularly attended
the Baptist meeting. From 1072 to his death,
ill 1Gbo, he was unmolested, living at Bedford
as a recognised minister of that religious society.
He rame yearly to London and preached m
Jewin-8treet. He died at the house of a friend
cn Snow-hili, and is buried iu Dunhill-lields
Cemetery. The genius of Bunyan as a prose-
poet, along with the moral and religious interest
of his writings, has gained him a high place
in English literature, .. ,

Among the “relics" shown at the Bedford
Festival was a copy of Foxe's “Book of
Martyrs,” in three volumes, with notes in
Bunyan 'b handwriting. Other articles had more
the character of domestic and personal associa¬
tion. There was his will, anted 1685, be¬
queathing all his goods to his wife. The
curious old cabinet of inlaid wood, IS in, square,
was given by liis great-granddaughter to the
person from whom it passed to the Banyan
Meeting-house in 1S34. The jug, being that
which Bunyan used in prison, and the walking-
stick that aided his steps in many a journey
on foot to preach the Gospel, are certainly
authentic. The chair of John Bunyan and
the view of Elstow Church arc represented in
our pages from photographs by Mr. G. Downes,
of Bedford.

WRECK OF THE NIL.

The wreck of the French mail-steamer Nil,
on the night of March 30, upon the coast of
Japan, with tho loss of eighty-eiglit lives, has
been mentioned among the shipping disasters
of this year. We are obliged to Mr. G. Cullen
Pearson, of Yokohama, one of the firm of
Pearson and Laurence, in Japan, for two
sketches, taken a few days after this misfor¬
tune, in which his partner, Mr. Sydney
Laurence, was among the lost. The first of
Mr. Pearson's sketches shows the scene of the
wreck ; the other shows a Japanese burial-
ground, where aro laid the bodies recovered
from the sea. The place of tho wreck is
) M3 tween the small fishing-villages of Iruma and
Yoshida, nearly at the extreme point of Caps
Idzu, and eight hours’ steam voyage from Yoko¬
hama, in Jeddo Bay. The mountains—at this
season of the year snowcapped—are those bor¬
dering the Gulf of Suruga. The small beach
to the right is that of Yoshida, where three
of the survivors managed to get ashore in
the ship’s cutter, which they held head against
the sea until moniing. The fourth survivor
managed to swim to the foot of the rock, and,
though much cut, to scramble up the cliffs
and get down to Iruma. These survivors
are tw f o sailors, cook, and baker, not a
single officer or passenger escaping. The second
sketch shows the native cemetery adjoining
the temple at Iruma, w'here all the bodies
w ashed ashore were buried with decency and
respect. Nothing could exceed the kindness of
the Japanese to the survivors, or the attention
paid by these people to the interment of tho
bodies. Nineteen bodies only have como
ashore ; it is probable that the greater part are
kept down by the awning that covered the
deck of the steamer. The Japanese pay great
attention to their cemeteries. The gravestones,
called “sekito,” aro well cut, and are of
various forms. In some cases large rough
stones are placed instead of the square-hewn.
Flowers are generally placed in a small bottle
or vase, called “ hauazaslii,” before each grave.
Once a year the festival called the Bon festival,
or festival of the dead, is held. The crosses
mark the spot in Iruma cemetery set apart for
those drowmed in the Nil, and a small rough
sfone wall has been put around to separate
tliis spot from the native burial-ground.

A OUTNEA ORGAN HARMONIUM. Solid Oak Case Five
Octave* and Two Footboards

Tho ever-increasing musical culture in all classes of society baa
oroated a demand for free reed iiutr.uncut* of a superior quality
to those hitherto manufactured.

Tho Instrument* now ottered to tho public will be found divmlod
of all that has hitherto been considered objectionable aa regards
tone. This end has been obtained by using a huger and thicker
tongue, and a new system of voicing, which render the quality
rich tun! organ-like.

Another advantage in tho new system is the increased strength
of the reeds, and diminished liability to go ont o tune by forcing
the bellows.

The naw system U applied to all the large instrument* with at
greater effect, and without extra coat,

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS

THE PEOPLE'S CLUB GARDEN.

This popular pleasure-ground is near the Willesden Junction
station of the London and North-Western, W est London, and
Hampstead Junction Railways. It has been acquired and
adorned by the agency of a co-operative club, of which Messrs.
W. R. Warner, Mayes, Andrews, and G. Howell are directors,
and which is promoted by Lord Lyttelton, Sir Harcourt
Johnstone, M.P., Mr. Hodgson Pratt, Mr. Thomas Hughes
Dr. W. B Carpenter, the Rev. H. Solly, and others interested
in social progress. That it may be open to all, the purchase
of the shares may be paid by instalments of twenty-one
pence a month, the possession of one share of twenty shillings
in value being necessary to constitute membership ; candidates
for membership have to be proposed by members. A member
can only introduce the same friend twice in a year. The
situation commands a pleasing view of the grassy country of
West Middlesex, to the hills of Hertfordshire and Bucking¬
hamshire, or to those of Surrey in an opposite direction. The
grounds are fairly laid out, in unpretending style. Besides the
more modem game of croquet, the older ones of bowling and
quoits have not been forgotten, and there are cricket-lit"Ids, a
small theatre (fitted up by the shareholders as a labour of love
in their spare hours) a gymnastic-ground, and a very large
dancing-platform.

Her Royal Highness Princess Louise on Saturday presented
the prizes to the growers of flowers, fruit, and vegetables, in
the annual horticultural show at the People’s Garden. The
Princess was accompanied by the Marquis of Lome, M.P., the
Countess of Abergavenny, Lady Johnstone, Mrs. Malcolm,
Lord Frederick Cavendish, M.P., Sir Harcourt Johnstone,
M.P., the Right Hon. William Cowper-Temple, M.P., the Rev.
William Rogers, of Bishopsgate, and a distinguished company.
They were received by the directors and conducted round the
grounds. Mr. Warner, the chairman, explained the arrange¬
ments of the People’s Garden Club. The flower and fruit show,
under a marquee, was inspected by the company The prizes
were given by her Royal Highness on the dancing-platform.
The Marquis of Lome made a brief speech for the Princess and
himBelf, and said that they had great pleasure in attending.
The prizes were pretty articles of use or ornament. The chief
winners were Mr. J. James, of Isleworth, Mr. Burley, Mr. G.
Brush, Mr. T. Parsons, Mr. Mark Walker, and Mr. L. J.
Baker. Miss Warner presented the Princess with a handsome
bouquet, which was graciously accepted. The amusements of
the evening were dancing, a dramatic performance, and fire¬
works. The sale of refreshments is provided for by this club ;
but though the members can purchase all excisable liquors, the
chief demand was for tea.

THE ASSAULT ON M. GAMBETTA.

At the Paris Chamber of Correctional Police, on Saturday, a
Bonapartist military man named Louis Henri Renouard, and
styling himself the Comte de St. Croix, was charged with an
assault upon the Republican Dictator of 1870. In our last
week’s Paris letter, relating the debates of the National
Assembly, a violent speech of M. Gambetta’s was mentioned,
denouncing the Bonapartists as “ misdrables ” or wretches,
which seems to have been the provocation for this assault.
M. Gambetta returned from Versailles to Paris by railway,
aud, leaving the train at the St. Lazare station, went towards
the grand staircase which leads out to the Place St. Lazare.
He was accompanied by M. Ordinaire, another member of the
Assembly. The defendant sprang forward out of the surround¬
ing crowd, and struck M. Gambetta in the face with his closed
fist. He had a stick, which he brandished so that it fell upon
M. Ordinaire, who had interposed to shield his friend Gambetta.
When brought before the magistrates, he pleaded that his in¬
tention was only to provoke M. Gambetta to fight a duel, and
he declared that he used his open hand, not his fist. He
was sentenced to six months’ imprisonment and a line of 200 f.
His military rank was not very high, and seems equivocal.

A PORTUGUESE BULL FIGHT.

Some of the Portuguese nobility and gentry, cn Sunday, the
24th ult., exhibited a grand bull light in the Praya Amphi¬
theatre, Campo de Santa Anna, at Lisbon, to raise money for
the relief of the sick and wounded, on both sides, in the Carlist
civil war in Spain. The Illustrations we engrave are from
sketches by our special Portuguese artist, Raphael Bordalio
Pinheiro. He also sent us the play-bill, which is superbly
printed in gold on crimson satin paper; but the following notes,
written by Mr. M. Lenetas, bookseller, of Lisbon, will best
explain this subject :—

“ The bull fight as it obtains in Portugal is a peculiar institu¬
tion of remote origin, and is entirely different from the Spanish
bull fight. For centuries past it has been the custom of the
nobility and gentry to take part in this diversion. Many of
the Portuguese monarclis aud princes have distinguished them¬
selves in it, as it was always considered au excellent sohool
of horsemanship and training of the cavalier for war. One
of the first Kings who fought bulls was the ill-starred Dom
Sebastian, and the last was Dom Miguel de Braganza.

“The bull fight of which we treat was given under the
auspices of the Marquis de Gastello Melhor, who is famed for
his skill as a horseman. Among others who took part in it
were some gallant youths of the Portuguese nobility or
Fidalguia . According to the Portuguese system the bull is
never killed, and its horns are tipped with balls of leather that
it may not kill either man or horse. The performance is
attended with some time-honoured customs and regulations. It
begins with the courtesies of the “netto,” who always appears
mounted. His business is to convey the orders of the director
of the ring, as well as to take part in the fight. According to
a venerable usage, the reason for which is not now known, the
netto enters with his face muflled in his cloak, and does not
unmask until he reaches the middle of the circle. Before, how¬
ever, the netto makes his entry, the azemola is led on a mule,
richly caparisoned in the old Portuguese fashion ; and carrying
the box which contains the farpas or darts to be used in the
combat. At the same time appear the moyos de foreado,
whose business is to fasten the bull by main force. These
men are armed with short two-pronged pikes. When the netto
has done, begin the courtesies of the cavaliers, who greet the
public all round the circle to the music of tho band. They are
superbly mounted, usually on their own horses. Behind them
several running footmen lead other horses, which are often very
fine animals, to be used as reserve mounts, if tho occasions of
the fight should require. At the same time eDter the bandaril-
heiros, who ply the bull with flags and cloaks, after the Spanish
fashion. The mo 90 s do curro and all others who take part in
the tight have now entered the arena. Tho enrro is the in-
closure where the bulls are kept, and the moyos do curro have
to attend to their exit and entrance.

“ When the cavaliers have ridden slowly round the ring,
saluting the public, they retire, change horses, and the business
of the day commences. The aim of the cavalier is to fix a
farpa, or short lance with a slight wood handle, in tho neck of
the bull, without his horse being hurt or upset. To do this

well requires gTeat skill and practice. When the iron is fixed
the staff is broken off by the cavalier, aud is thrown away.
The feats of the Marquis de Gastello Melhor upon this occasion
excited great enthusiasm. More than once in his performance
the audience stood up, and greeted him, from boxes and pit,
with waving handkerchiefs, while two floral crowns were
thrown at his feet. When the cavalier has finished, the bull
is fought in the Spanish fashion, by the men with cloaks and
flags, and darts are flxed in his neck as often as possible. At
the finish come in the hornens de forcado. Sometimes one claps
his hands to the bull; and, when the bull comes on, tho man
throws himself between the bull’s horns, while his comrades pin
the bull by tho tail and neck and hold him by main force. This
is called the “pega.” It is the part of the performance most
appreciated and applauded by Portuguese spectators, being
purely national. In the bull fight, of which we now speak,
JSenhor Manoel Ferreira Pinto Bastos wasthe one who most dis¬
tinguished himself in seizing tho bull. When the bull has
been fought, the moyos do curro, who may be gentlemen of
rank, introduce the cabreetes, tame oxen with largo bells round
their necks. They compel the bull, with the long sticks they
carry, to leavo the ring along with his harmless brethren. When
one bull has been put through the programme another is intro¬
duced, until nine or ten have figured in the arena.

“ The particular rules and usages we describe are closely
followed in the bull fights only when the gentry and nobility
take part. The ordinary representations are more like the
Spanish Bystem. Nearly all the Lisbon world of fashion,
elegance, and title filled the boxes and benches of the Praya
on this occasion; the result was a very large contribution of
money in aid of the charitable object for which tho entertain¬
ment was got up.”

One of the sketches of M. Bordalio Pinheiro shows the
scene in the theatre when the leading cavallciro, the Marquis
de Castello Melhor, rode in to make his bow to the spectators.
Behind him walk the bandarilheiros or flagmen, the moyos de
forcado or pitchfork-men, the abegano, and the moyos do curro.
The netto, and another cavalleiro are on horseback in the
background.

The other page of Engravings presents a variety of figures
and actions. In the centre of the page is shown the
leading in of the azemola mule, laden with small darts
and flags to be stuck in the poor bull. To the right and
left of this we sec an encounter between a bull and a cavalleiro,
who evades the bull's onset and thrusts his slight lance into
the beast’s neck. Having done this, he is to break off the
shaft, so as to leave the point and the flag, to be noted to his
credit on the score of this cruel game. The several groups below
are now to be remarked. In the middle is the netto, with
cloak thrown over his face; he waits in the list3 of fight,
and serves as herald, but never attacks the bull. He is
attended by two andarilhos, or messengers, who pick up the
fallen darts and flags. To the left, a mob of moyos are teasing
the bull to provoke his rage. To the right, we see them in the
pega; one man has got between the bull’s horns ; the other
men are holding down the bull by force applied to his back,
hind quarters, and tail. The differently dressed performers
shown at the top of the page need a few words of ex¬
plaining. Here the central figure, mounted, is that of
the netto. On each hand a mounted cavalleiro sup¬
ports him, but with some difference of costume ; one haring
the courtier’s dress of the last century; the other being
equipped as a modem Portuguese sportsman to meet the bull.
A bandarilheiro, in full state attire, and two of the bull’s
keepers, the abegano and a moyo do curro, one smoking bis
pipe, are placed on the right-hand side of the page. On the
left-hand side are one of the mo^os de forcado, or pitchfork-
drivers, one of the moyos do curro, with a long wand, and a ban¬
darilheiro, holding his cloak ready to cast over the bull’s head.

MUSIC.

HER MAJESTY’S OPERA.

The specialty of last week—indeed, one of the chief events of
the season—was the production of “II Talismano ” at this
establishment, to which we could but briefly allude in our
previous notice, as the performance took place on Thursday
night.

This posthumous work of the late Mr. Balfe was originally
composed, to an English libretto written by Mr. Arthur
Matthison, who has taken some of the leading incidents of
Scott’s well-known romance, which he has Btrung together as a
framework for a series of scenes that offer good scope for the
purposes of the composer.

Much interest attached to tho first hearing of this opera in
the same theatre in which the composer made his earliest
English success, by his “Siege of Rochelle,” in 1835. “Tho
Talisman ” was not quite completed when the composer died
(in 1870), and the slight additions requisite to finish it, and the
recitatives which replace the original dialogue, were supplied
by Sir Michael Costa, whose care in superintending the
rehearsals and in conducting the performance was of high
value. The Italian text has been furnished by Signor Zafiira,
and the work is mounted on the stage with great splendour as
to costumes and scenery ; the latter offering several admirable
specimens of the skill of Mr. William Beverly, especially the
opening scene of the desert ; that of St. George’s Mount, with
sunset effects ; and the final view of the sea, with the fleet of
the Crusaders.

1 he music of “H Talismano ” offers a strong contrast to
the earlier style of tho composer, in which a light vein of
melody is the prevailing feature. This last of Balfe’s works
displays the same tendency as that which is observable in the
operas immediately preceding it—an endeavour at the elaborate
combinations and intense dramatic effects of the French
romantic school. Notwithstanding this, however, there are
several solo pieces which stand prominently out, and which
will, doubtless, be largely in demand as extracts from the
ThesC/are Edith Plantagenet’s prayer, with its graceful
larghetto ( Placida notte ? ) and the following animated
allegro; her characteristic romanza, “LaCanzona d’Evelina,”
and her bravura rondeau, “Nella dolce treptdauza.” Exqui¬
sitely sung by Madame Christine Nilsson, each of these move-
forth great applause. A very light and tuneful
ana for the Queen ( La guerra appena ”)—sung with much
piquancy by Mdlle. Mane Roze—was also among the special
successes of the evening, other instances haring been the

(Gandid0 ^r Sir Kenneth, and

his aria, ^ A te coll auro a sera,” in both of which Signor

2 ^^“ Ko^h.^-^*oal ” 6 ( ae

si dolente.” Of tho fuller pieces, the most effective were the
opening chorus of Arabs, “ Prodi guerrieri Alla ” (in which is
some characteristic writing), the concerted movement in the scene
of dispute at St. George’s Mount, and the finale of the secoucfcvct.
The little music assigned to tho part of the Emir (who makca
but a transient appearance in the first scene) w as well sung by
Signor Campobello, whose make-up was extremely goexh
Other characters were efficiently represented by Signor Rinaidini
(De Yaux), Signor Casaboni (Duke of Austria), and Signor
Costa (King of France).

Of the charm, vocal and personal, of Madame Nilsson’s
performance it is impossible to speak too highly. Ilei; repre¬
sentation of the character of Edith would alone suffice to
render “ H Talismano ” attractive.

The Engraving given on page 5S1 represents the scene at
the close of the second act, w here Richard raises his battle-axe
to strike down Sir Kenneth for his supposed treachery, but ia
prevented by the interposition of the Queen and Edith.

The opera on Saturday w as “Les Huguenots.”

“ U Talismano ” was given again on Monday and Wednes¬
day. On Tuesday “Semiramide” was repeated. “Lucrezia
Borgia ” was announced for Thursday, aud rt La Favorita ” for
to-night (Saturday).

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.

The three last performances of the past week were all repe¬
titions of operas with a familiar cast—on Thursday “ Le 3
Diamans de la Couronne,” on Friday “Der Freischutz,”
aud on Saturday “Dinorah.” •

This week there w ere again six operas. On Monday
Madame Vilda repeated her performance as Norma, with a
renewal of tiie favourable reception which greeted her reappear¬
ance in that character in the previous week.

On Tuesday “ Mignon ” was to havo been given for the first
time at this establishment, but was replaced by “La 8on-
nambula,” in consequence of the indisposition of Mdue.Marimon.

“11 Trovatore” was performed on Wednesday; the
announcements for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday'having
been, respectively, “Les Huguenots,” “II Barbiere di
Sivigiia,” and “Mignon.”

The triennial Handel festival at the Crystal Palace began
yesterday (Friday) with the grand public rehearsal. The
programme prepared for the occasion consisted of a selection
from that of the forthcoming performances (on Monday, Wednes¬
day, and Friday), of which we shall have to speak next week.

The sixth concert of the Philharmonic Society took place on
Monday evening, when the orchestral pieces were the two
movements of Schubert’s unfinished symphony in B minor,
Beethoven’s “ Pastoral ” symphony, a very characteristic and
cleverly-instrumented overture (“The Taming of the Shrew”)
by Itheinberger, and Weber’s overture to “Oberon.” The in¬
strumental performances were completed by Madame Norman-
Neruda’s brilliant and refined execution of Mendelssohn’s
violin concerto. A pretty bolero, by M. Gounod, was sung
(for the first time) by Madame Miliaao, who also gave Cima*
rosa’s scena, “ Ah ! parlate.” Of the lady, who made her debut
on tills occasion, we prefer to speak after a second hearing.

Mr. Kuhe’a annual concerts have of late years assumed pro¬
portions similar to those of Sir Julius Benedict, and have also
recently been given in the Floral Hall, where, on Monday
afternoon, Mr. Kuhe again provided an attractive programme,
which included the splendid singing of Madame Adeliua Patti,
Mdlle. Albani, and other eminent members of the Royal Italian.
, Opera, besides pianoforte performances by Mdlle. Marie Krebfl
and the concert giver. The hall was well filled.

Among the interesting novelties of the day are the per¬
formances of the “Orchestre des Dames,” a band of fifty-three
Viennese ladies, directed by Madame Amann Weinlich, who
execute overtures and dance music, and occasionally solo pieces,
with great precision and refinement. Their second concert
took place at tho Hanover-square Rooms on Wednesday even¬
ing, the third having been announced for yesterday (Friday).

The concerts of this week have also included the second
of the Welsh Choral Union, on Tuesday ; the matinee, on
Wednesday, of that clever pianist aud organist, Mr. Frederic
Archer; a performance, on Wednesday, at the Royal Albert
Hall, of Dr. Sloman's new cantata, “ Supplication and Praiao”
(of which we must speak hereafter); and, on Friday, the
second pianoforte recital of M. Duvemoy, and the seventh of
the series of the eight interesting performances given by Mr.
Charles Halid.

THEATRES.

A crowded and fashionable audience assembled at the Gaiety
last Saturday morning, on the occasion of Mr. George Coleman j
benefit, to witness the ddbut of Mrs. Fairfax as Julia in "The
Hunchback.” The play was altogether strongly cast, Mr.
Gres wick performing the tUre r61e ; Miss Fowler, Helen ; Mr.
Henry Neville, Modus ; and Mr. Hermann Vczin, Sir Thomas
Clifford. Thus ably supported, the debutante had a fair chance
of success. The lady’s appearance is in her favour—her Demon
attractive, her countenance expressive, and her eyes of bewil¬
dering brilliance. She had not, however, trusted entirely to
these great advantages, but had been careful in her study
of the text, so that she was letter-perfect, and the
nervousness under which she laboured produced no further
effect than a slight disturbance of gesture and action in
her first scene. As the play progressed she grew in power
and decision, and manifested capabilities which, with doe
practice, warrant the highest hopes of her success. Frequently
she commanded well-deserved applause.* Miss Fowler, too,
merits recognition for her Helen, which on this occasion she
sustained for the first time. It was altogether a very pleasing
interpretation of a gay and lively part. Her scenes with
Modus were, in fact, excellent, and were duly accompanied
with the plaudits of the house. At tho conclusion of tho per*
formance Miss Ada Cavendish recited, with her usual vigour,
tho Laureate’s poem of “ The Charge of the Light Brigade.
Air. Boucicault announces the early production of a new
comedy entitled “ Led Astray,” and in it the introduction of
two new American actors—Mr. Charles Thorne, of California
origin, the representative of the artistic excellence of tho Gf®^
West of America, and Mr. Stuart Roljson, that of eccentric
comedy in the eastern cities—New York, Philadelphia, and
Boston—where, adds Mr. Boucicault, “ both these comedian 3
en joy positions as established favourites.” No doubt the public
will heartily respond to this appeal.

Dramatic revivals continue to be the order of the day. At
the Haymarket “The Overland Route,” for a few nighte,
substituted for “Alont Blanc,” which is withdrawn; and s
new comedy is announced by Mr. Robert Buchanan, represen¬
tative, it is said, of the manners of the early part of the reign
of Charles II. At the Lyceum Mr. Irving has appeared during
the week as Charles I. f and announces his benefit for Alonday
-when he will again support the part of Eugene Aram. He will
also undertake his favourite character of Jeremy Diddler, in
the farce of “ Raising the Wind.” “ East Lynne ” continues
to attract at the St. James’s and the National Standard
Iheatres.

FINE ARTS.

ROYAL ACADEMY EXHIBITION.

THE SCULPTURE.

The dearth of works in the higher branches of sculpture seems
to be greater than ever at Burlington House. Some of our
ablest sculptors do not contribute at all—Mr. J. H. Foley, for
instance, being still conspicuoos by his absence—or they are
represented sparingly and inadequately. The small propor¬
tion of works of any pretentions to ideality, even in aim, is
greatly to be regretted, especially in presence of several foreigu
con tri tuitions, very cleverly manipulated, no doubt, but which
are merely naturalistic copies at the best, and sometimes most
objectionably licentious and meretricious. What should be the
highest and noblest form of art is thus abused, calculated to
lower the standard of all art-practice, and to corrupt the public
taste. If there is any excuse for such tendencies when an
artist by working in colour is tempted to luxurious indulgence,
there is certainly none when he is dealing with pure and beau¬
tiful marble or grave and enduring bronze. Even to descend
to trivial unessential details of form seems iguoble, degrading,
almost a sin in such materials.

Among the works of lrghesi aim are three bronze statues of
heroic size, by Mr. T. Thorny croft—“Clio,” 11 Melpomene / 1 and
“ Thalia,” which have a degree of suitable monumental large¬
ness in treatment, but the two latter are not quite satisfactory
iu conception. The Mubo of History may very properly—uay,
should—be an unimpnsaioned abstraction, as Mr. Thornycroft
has represented her ; but why does the personification of
“ Tragedy ” raise her mask, if not to seriously and deeply im¬
press us ; and why should the countunance of “Comedy” be
still tamer ? The Medieval, the Renaissance, and even occa¬
sionally the Classical, sculptors have shown that intense ox-

f >res 8 iou is perfectly consistent with the severest dignity and
oftiest grandeur. Mr. J. Durham’s marble group of “The
Siren and the Drowned Leandcr ” (1493) is a marked improve¬
ment on the model for the Bame ; but a bust of Sir Sydney
H. Waterlow (1514) by this sculptor seems to us to miuire
more care and refinement in the modelling. Mr. K. B. Stephens
has also a “ Leander Preparing to Cross the Hellespont ” (1513),
in plaster, which promises fairly for its marble realisation.
Mr. D. W. Stephenson's graceful “Nymph at the Stream”
(1527) aud Mr. Brock’s spirited “Hereward the Wake ” (1533),
both in marble, deserve commendation; as also Count
Gleicheu’s model for the monument to his mother, H.S.H. the
Princess of Hoheulohe-Langenburg, erected at Baden-Baden,
which we engraved a fortnight back; together with Miss Grant’s
model of “ An Incident in the Life of St. Margaret ” (1525), very
creditable for a lady amateur ; and the plaster of “ Pauthcaaml
Abradates ” (1494), by Mr. W. White—the last Academy gold-
medal group, recently engraved in our pages. Count Gieichen’s
work above mentioned has true monumental simplicity, and
is altogether treated in very good taste We may add
here that the modelling ot the head of Mr. E. B. Head (1444),
by the same artist, is quite worthy of a professional sculptor
of very good position ; aud the bronze statuette of Prince
Arthur (1594) is a sample of the small work in which II. S. H.
also excels. We may naturally pass from the ideal to the
decorative, naturabstic, and other works, with mention of
“An Implacable Executioner” (Kill), by P. D’Epinay, a
British subject, we believe of the Mauritius, now' working
with great success at Rome. The subject is a little Cupid, his
foot plauted on a heart, and a croquet mallet thrown over his
shoulder, with which he is about to vengefully “roquet” a
second heart already lacerated aud bleeding, on which the
sculptor has inscribed his own name. Though in idea but a
pretty, suggestive conceit, hardly worthy of embodiment in
marble, we can but admire the excellent modelling of the
Cupid, and be amused at the energy and vivacity of his action
and expression.

“ Un Premier Enfant ” (1496), by the distinguished Belgian
sculptor AI. C. A. Fraikin—a sweet young mother, en deshabille,
gloating fondly over an infant in her lap—is a charming
naturalistic group, chaste m the very nature of the subject,
yet treated with much warmth. But the most remarkable
work in this category—though it has, of course, none of the
beauty or sentiment of the preceding—is “The Horse aud liis
Master” (1520), by Mr. J. E. Boehm. This immense group,
for which it was necessary to find a place iu the Lecture*Room,
w’as doubtless intended to be on the .st ale of nature ; but, the
man being below the average height, the contrast between him
and the animal, enormoua as is the bulk of the kind of horse in
question, is rather too great. The horse is a stallion of the
breed derived, we believe, from Flanders and Normandy, and
developed. with us into the elephantine Suffolk punch and
other special breeds. By representing him as rearing on his
hind legs, the spirit and likewise the vast bulk and gigantic
strength of the creature are displayed to advantage ; while his
“master” is proportionately reduced to comparative insig¬
nificance. Yet the man is modelled quite as ably aa the horse ;
while the two form a group evincing close observation and
(within the sculptor’s intention) plastic power and technical
mastery iu a high degree. A marble bust of the Queen (1534)
by the same sculptor is ono of the most faithful and acceptable
portraits of her Majesty wo have seen. Mr. Boehm’s terra¬
cotta likenesses also are among the happiest liere : witness those
of the two painters, Messrs. R. Mtiller (1545) and R. Beavis
(1602). M. Dalou’s “ Paysanne Fran^aiae” of last year, which
we engraved, was strikingly true to common nature, though,
as may be inferred from previous remarks, we are far from
thinking this the most desirable thing in sculpture ; his group,
similar in motive, called “ Hush-a-by, Baby ! ” is, however,
much less successful The deep excavation of the eye-sockets
aud the open mouth cause the face to resemble a cast after death.
Nor will this sculptor’s terra-cottas of the two painters, Messrs.
F. Leighton (1543) and Alma Ta Ionia (1606), bear favourable
comparison with those of Mr. Boehm ; it seems to us that to the
least desirable characteristics of the subjects are given the most
prominence. Another French work is, iu the original, probably
the most notorious piece of sculpture of our day: we .allude to
the terra-cotta model of AI. Carpeaux’s “Groups de la Danse”
(1515)—nymphs circling round a Moating, winged figure hold¬
ing a tambourine—executed for the uew Opera House, Paris.
There can be no question as to the immeuso spirit, of this group,
nor as to the great skill in composition displayed in adjusting
and balancing so many figures on so small a base, nor as to the
extraordinary cleverness of the execution ; nevertheless, sculp¬
ture, as applied to a public building, lias seldom been so prosti¬
tuted. This is no illustration of graceful action or the “ poetry
of motion; ” this is no natural abandonment to impulses gene¬
rated by music ; this is not even a lusty bacchanalian revel;
that is not the Genius of Daucing in the centre, but
a still, attitudinising Parisian model; those are not nymphs
of Terpsichore, but lewd wantons, their every posture
proclaiming their self-conscious lewdness ; in short, the group
is only worthy to symbolise the canenn y and only fit to decorate
a casino, not a national palace devoted to art. Another deco¬
rative work of very different character—showing ability, withal,
though a little mauuered, is Mr. Armsfce;uPs set of four alto-
relievos of Europe, Africa, America, and Australia, for external
spandrils of the New Colonial Offices (1436-9). Near these are

three very curious terra-cotta panels, the relief admitting three
or four figures to stand before each other, representing “ l’he
Garden of Gethsemane,” “ The Desceut from the Cross, and
“The Foot of the Cross” (1441, 1467, 146S). They are by Mr.
Tiuworth, of the Lambeth Buttery, a pupil of Mr. Sparkes, of
the Lambeth School of Art, who lias turned out so many
Academy medallists aud assisted Air. Doulton’s pottery revivals.
Mr. Tiuworth was, we are informed, origiually a w f h eel w right,
and his designs, probably unconsciously, strongly recall the
w’orks of the early German art-handicraftsmen in their direct
naturalistic energy of conception and execution, and their naive,
homely ideas, which, if a little too familiar or forced, are quite
refreshing beside the tame conventionality of most church
decorative sculpture, of which examples are not wanting here.

Portraiture being the branch of sculpture most in request iu
this country, there is, as might be expected, some good work, as
well as a great deal of mediocrity. Among the statues is a
large seated figure of the Queen (1495), by Air. Noble, pre¬
sented to St. Thomas’s Hospital by the* President, Sir John
Musgrove, in commemoration of her Majesty having laid the
foundation-stone and opened the hospital. It is more ac¬
ceptable than many similar portraits. M. Alalemprd s statue
of Balfe, the composer (1506), for the vestibule of Drury Lane
Theatre, is alBo fairly successful ; and there are various statues
of children with pretty motives by Alessrs. J. Durham, J. R.
Jackson, and T. J. Williamson. Mr. J. Bell’s equestrian
statuette (1588) of Wellington, with accessorial figures intended
to indicate the “scenes of his victories,” is, as regards these
figures, rather far-fetched. In coming to the bust portraits
generally it would be discourteous not to give precedence to the
marble bust of the late General Grey (1536), by Princess Louise,
especially as it is so meritorious, regarded as the production of
an amateur. By its side is an excellently carved aud faithful
likeness of Princess Alice, by R. Kopf. Sir George Pollock
(1455) and Air. AI. T. Smith (1512), by Air. Weekes, are, as
usual, treated iu a large, vigorous stylo ; the former is par¬
ticularly admirable, especially regarded as a posthumous work.
Mr. Woolncr's sole contribution is a bust of Airs. Alfred
Alorrison (1454), in which the emphatic contours aud the deli¬
cate contained traits of a beautiful model are rendered with
truth, feeling, and first-rate carving. We fancy, however,
that there is a little of that tendency to exaggerate
characteristic forms which is sometimes much more
obvious in Air. Wooluer’a male busts. Mr. Adams Aefcou has
made a marked advance in several busts, of which we
may specially commend a torra-cotta of the Rev. Mr.
Spurgeon ( 1542), evincing the keenest sense of character, with¬
out falling into caricature ; “ Sir Wilfred Lawson” (1443), and
two or three members of the Butler*Johnstone family— all
animated and conscientiously wrought. The sculptor’s sister,
Miss Adams, sends a group of hands (1538) nicely po 3 ed and
very well carved. Other busts of merit and interest are—
the Baroness Burdett-Coutts (1509), by W. Brodic; Airs.
GiUtrap (1464), by T. Butler ; Miss Hayes (1547)> and Johu
Constable, the painter (1549), to be placed in the Royal
Academy, by E. Davis; Henry Irving, the actor (1450),
by IL Jackson ; Miss Edith Wynne, “the nightingale of
Wales” (1559), by J. Edwards; Sir John Bowring (1577),
by W. S. Webber; Comte Likm (1579), by A. Schoonjans;
Thomas Carlyle (1465), by J. D Crittenden; and Mr.
William Morley (1550), by C. B. Birch. The contributions
by Messrs. W. CaUIer Marshall, J. Lawlor, T. N. AlaoLean,
G. G. Adams, G. E. Ewiug, and W. Thccd are also com¬
mended to notice.

In the glyptic ait thoro is little claiming notice. AI.
Wiener, the distinguished Belgian sculptir, exhibits a frame
of nine medals (1474), which show rare talent in various direc¬
tions—in portraiture, figure compositions, aud architectural
perspectives. There are also commemorative and prize medals
of some merit by Messrs. Wyon.

THE DECORATION OF ST. PAULS.

Before we take a final leave of the Royal Academy Exhi¬
bition, we must say a few words on the models in the Archi¬
tectural Room, for the proposed decoration of St. Paul’s, by
Mr. W. Burges—a scheme which, if begun only to be put in
execution,, as is now threatened, will infallibly bring discredit
on all concerned therewith, and which cannot possibly ever bo
carried through.

Several years ago we considered that the first false step in
the decoration of the cathedral was taken by the employment
of Alunich stained glass in the windows, and our opinions have
been since pretty generally confirmed. Yet the Munich designs
harmonise, with the building tolerably well, as regards general
style. Then came the designs (with an exhibited model) for
the decoration of the whole interior, by Mr. Penrose, the
accomplished “surveyor” to the cathedral; and here, again,
the scheme, though voted too elaborate, and too lavish in the
employment of positive colours, did uo great violeucc to the
style of the architecture. Mr. Penrose’s services were, how¬
ever, declined (too inconsiderately, as we think) in favour of
Air. Burges, who, we soou after heard with alarm, was to pre¬
pare for the cathedral a complete system of “ Christian
iconography.” Now the words “ Christian iconography ”
are applied, and can only apply, to the imagery of the
Byzantine and Early Gothic artists, to the Divine Personalities,
the heavenly hierarchy, the prophets, martyrs, and other
saintly personages, with their respective emblems, to the scrip¬
tural and legendary subjects, aud the traditionary treatment of
the painters and sculptors before the Reformation, before even
the style of our metropolitan cathedral was developed ! It was
inevitable that decoration conceived iu such a spirit would
needlessly provoke antagonism from a large section within the
Church and from other denominations, and it was equally pal¬
pable that such decoration could not accord with Sir
Christopher Wren’s architecture ; but, on the contrary, must
be utterly inappropriate to it, and set at naught all its artistic
associations. We have, how ever, nothing to do here with the
religious, but only with the artistic, question. The choice of
Air. Burges, then, for the proposed decoration, seemed, cm
strictly artistic grounds, wholly unaccountable, lie had pre¬
viously publicly iutimated Ins antipathy to .Sir Christopher
\A ren and all his w orks. He had been know n chiefly for a
strong leaning to the grotesque manifested in Early Gothic and
Byzantine designs, and to that kind of gaudiuess found in the
debased art of the Jesuit churches. Surely there never was
such a ease of trying to force the square man into the round
hole. Nevertheless, Mr. Burges was appointed, but with a
condition that enjoined him strictly to refer to Wren’s style in all
he should attempt; subscriptions to the amount of £40,000 were
received under a distinct engagement that such shouki be done ;
and a fine-arts committee, pledged to be guided by this same
understanding, was appointed by the executive committee. Air.
Burgess’s designs and models have since been made public, and
they have been strongly condemned by the fine-art's committee.
Thereupon the executive committee, instead of beiug guided by
the decision of the judges of their own appointment (which, as
it seems to us, they were bound to abide by), dissolved the
fine-arts committee ; they also rejected a proposed appeal to
the Royal Academy, and have accepted Mr. Burges’s design
as a basis for the work in the apse and choir. The most

threatening part of this recent decision is that the work is to be
immediately commenced in that portion of the building—i.e.,
the apse and choir—which must govern the treatment of every
otherT Consequently, any false step cannot be retraced, except
at great coat, because the decoration is to culminate in the apse
and choir. The concentration of the embellishment; there may
gratify those who desire to give a peculiar import to the altar
and its ministrauts ; but, even in Romish churches of the same
style, there aro few, if any, precedents for the disproportionate
decorations contemplated. Architecturally considered, the
dome, the sublimest feature of the building—the feature that,
so far as art can do, is best calculated to carry the eye anil the
heart to heaven—should furnish the keynote of the decoration.
It is, moreover, known—aud this is almost all that is known of
his wishes on this subject—that Wren desired to see the dome
richly embellished—filled with rich and durable mosaics. Even
at St. Peter’s it is the dome that is most richly decorated.

Air. Burges’s proclivities are obvious in the models under

notice, vet some of his
expected from his antecedents.

arc the List that might be
HpmMHHL He proposes, for instance, to

veneer, as in the Jesuit churches, nearly the whole interior
with marble—this from one understood to be a determined
enemy to “shams” ! To insert marble into the panels would
be feasible enough, but to pare down the stonework, with its
countless angels, and lay thereon a marble casing, would be a
structural falsification equally impractical and inartistic.
Gilding and polychromy are to be used far too iirofusely ; they
are not to be, as they most certainly should be, confined to
the accentuation of the forms, but to bo scattered broadcast,
in a way that must bewilder the eye, and so conceal the cha¬
racter of the architecture ; thereby, as remarked by the tine-
arts committee in their protest, displaying the style of Mr.
Burges, but certainly not that of Sir C. Wren. The distribu¬
tion as well as the quantity of the colouration is very question¬
able. The lower story is to consist mainly of white marble,
and the colours and gilding are to be added in increasing
quantity to the vault, and to attain the greatest “ richness
and depth” iu the upper part of the choir aud apse. The
objections to this are that the supports will appear
weak, and the portions above will apparently be lowered and
contracted, while the present oppressive gloom will be rather
increased than diminished, though its repose may bo broken.
Gold, colour, aud costly material will become everywhere para¬
mount to architectural design aud chastity of effect. By
frequent and capricious changes in tlio figures and ornamenta¬
tion, Mr. Burges seems quite to ignore those law's of symmetry
and harmony which constitute the essence of Wren's architec-
tecture. Some of the figures -would scarcely be distinguishable
from below ; others are as much too large comparatively ; while
the disproportions reach their climax in a figure of Our Saviour
at the east end of the church, which is so gigantic that it would,
beyond all question, dwarf the whole interior, and be a glaring
incongruity from whatever point it could be viewed. Wo
might advert to the poverty of design of some of the patterned
decoration—its want of relation not only with the character of
the architecture, but with itself; but what will be deqmed, by
all but a few enthusiast antiquaries and ecclesiologists, by far
the most objectionable feature of this strange scheme is the
style of the above-mentioned colossal figure and its accompany¬
ing “subjects.” It would, to us, have seemed hardly credible
that anyone could seriously propose, in this nineteenth century,
to co2>y in the sanctuary of our national cathedral, in defiance
of its sixteenth-century Italian style, an effigy of our Lord
after the manner of barbaric Byzantine art, with “cherubim
aud seraphim,” their wings formally disposed, and the various
symbols of these and other figures depicted after the same
childish fashion. But there is an even more puerile proposition
in the scheme—that relating to the treatment of the choir pave¬
ment, which is to represent four streams flowing from the altar,
with harts drinking, llowers, and so forth, the whole being
emblematical of .Paradise.

What is required seems really simple enough. The interior
generally is insufficiently lighted : this is the main point. Any
system of decoration should therefore be limited generally to
pale tints—at least in the vault, clerestory, and attic, so as to
secure atmospheric effect. Gold and more positive tints (but
no such deep blue as in these models) should be used only to
loyally and reverently emphasise, never to be apart from or
compete with the leading lines and members of the architect's
work. Greater richness might be ventured on in the dome,
including the drum and pendentives, and, to a reasonable
extent, m the apse and choir, for the reason that they are
better lighted. Then, and then only, when the architecture
has been duly illustrated, should the pictorial decoration be
attempted; for this in turn should be subordinated to the
architectural forms.

he fate of Ora, a* the victim of malignant enchantment, is
very sad. That of pretty, winsome Tui, though she is wedded
to Mutuku, the man of her choice, is a mournful end to the
story, with the capture of their village fortress by the merciless

of the besiegers’ feigned retreat, and of the factitious whale
straqded in the shallow bay, to cover their secret return, is one
w hich again reminds us of the ancient tale of Troy.

volumes entitled The Scottish II r ar of fndtpe // denee ; its
Ant contents and Effects, by William Burns (Glasgow', James
Mack hose). The author, struck by the variety of view s
expressed upon the aforesaid subject, conceived the idea of
writing something which might produce harmony iustead of
discord amongst the ranks of those most nearly concerned in
the traditions of Scotland, and which might attract the atten¬
tion and challenge the candid judgment of people in general.

NEW BOOKS.

The Maori race of New Zealand, after giving much trouble
to the Pakeha or European colonists, now r become the subject
of poetical and romantic literary Actions, like the Red Indians
of North America in the novels of Fenimore Cooper, or the
Scottish Highianders of a past age, transfigured by the genius
of Sir Walter Scott. Mr. Alfred Domett’s narrative poem,
Hanoi/and Amohia, which was approved by critics as a graceful
and original composition, has beeu succeeded by two elegantly
written prose tales, illustrative of the character, the manners,
and customs of that energetic and intelligent Australasian
people. Ena; or, the Ancient Maori (Smith, Elder, aud Co.) is
by Mr. George Wilson, who has long resided, w r e presume as
official superintendent, at the native reserve of To- Aro, near
Wellington. He is evidently well acquainted with the local
scenery, ami seems to have carefully studied the traditions and
pro colonial history of the tribes inhabiting that part of the north
island, along the shore of Cook’s Strait, from Port Nicholson to
Wanganui. The picturesque features of thiscoast, as well as those
of the interior, around the volcanic region of Mounts Tongariro
and Ruapehu and the shores of Lake Taupo, are very w r ell
described. Ena is a Maori Priucess, the brave and beautiful
daughter of Te Ranpitukaroa, chieftain of the Manopoko tribe,
who have been driven from their old inland habitation to dwell
at Wairauki, a fortified village or pah on the cliffs of the sea¬
shore. Her brother, the heroic young chief Raukawa, becomes
the champion and leader of his people in their last desperate
struggle for existence against a combined invasion of their
relentless foes, the Ngatiraukawa and the Waikato tribes.
’Die besieged tenants of Wairauki are helped by their neigh¬
bours of the Kapiti isle, whose chief, named To Koturu, is the
affianced lover of ICua. They are guided and inspired to the
actions of patriotic warfare by a tohunga , or priest and sooth¬
sayer, called Hahaki, who is also cunning in policy and in
strategy, and one of the toughest old fighters in Maoria. The
incidents of this siege, in our opinion, are quite as interesting,
though perhaps not so well told, as those of the siege of Troy
by the Greeks under King Agamemnon ; but that i» a matter
of taste. The fighting is all done with spears and clubs, or
with that peculiar weapon, the mere or greenstone mallet.
There are no muskets, the time being previous to English colo¬
nial settlements or commercial dealings in New Zealand. One
English or American girl, Mary Morven, who has been rescued
from shipwreck on that shore, lives with Ena and shares the
cruel trials which the Maori heroine must endure. Upon the
whole, we find “ Ena ” a very good story, clearly and
vigorously set before us, with perfect consistency of plan, and
in a tone of animated sympathy. The only fault that can
olfend the reader is tho uniform smoothness and polished pro
priety of the style, which might be suitable for a tale of con¬
ventional society, but seems ill adapted to the present subject.
The same criticism, indeed, would be equally applicable to
other works of this class, which have been greatly admired.

The second Maori romance which claims our notice is
written by Captain J. C. Johnstone, late of the Bengal Army,
whose preface is dated at Te Haroto, near Auckland. His book,
which, like “ Ena,” is a single volume, is entitled Maorta: A
Sketch of the Aboriginal Inhabitants of Nao Zealand (Chapman
anil Hall). Its style is rather better, as it is simpler and easier,
than that of Mr. George Wilson’s tale. The scene of action is
on the west coast of the North Island, at a Maori pah or fortified
village called Ngutukaka, near the mouth of the Waitebnna river,
which we cannot find in the map of New Zealand War among
the native tribes, as in the story of “ Ena,” without the inter¬
vention of European arms or intrigues, gives occasion for the
wiiil deeds and adventures presented here. The aged Ariki,
or chief of the Ngatiroa, Te Au Te Rangi (a nobly sonorous
name), has three lovely granddaughters—cousins, of course, to
each other. Of these maidens Ora and Tui aro to us the most
interesting ; yet Hira is also an attractive girl. The tohunga,
or sanctified public conjuror, in this community, is a clever
impostor named Ngawhare ; tho hero, or true king of men, is
Karaka, the old chief’s bravest and ablest sou. Captain
Johnstone lias contrived to show us many particulars of Maori
domestic life and manners. The fishing, the boating, the col¬
lecting of edible fern-root, aud preparing it for food ; the
method of cooking by steam, in a closed pit where water has
been poured upon heated stones ; the making of cauoes, the build¬
ing of huts, and wearing of flax into cloth ; the laborious earth¬
works and palisades, to fortify the steep ascent of their'inha¬
bited cliffs aud crags ; these branches of native industry are
very exactly described. The practice of cannibalism, which
must • be admitted to be a drawback on the admirable
qualities of the Maori race, is but incidentally referred to.
The author draws a veil over the scene at these horriu feasts
of human liesh. We do not like to think of the pensive
Ora aud the playful Tui, those sweet young Maori women,
as kiud and gentle as their sex in our own land,
partaking of a slice or picking a bone at such iuhuruan banquets.

forward with a statement that may revolutionise prevailing
ideas, reason would that he should command a hearing, and
that, if his evidence and arguments be sufficiently cogent,
time-honoured judgments should be revised. But it is alto¬
gether different when a gentleman professes to .do no more
than “reproduce in a connected form” and “with a special
design” a multitude of “impressions and convictions” made
upon his own mind by such sources of information as are open to
everybody, and when the gentleman seems to feel a fiery passion
for Scottish nationality and to be moved by a somewhat acrimoni¬
ously controversial spirit. His honesty of purpose, however, his
acumen, and his painstaking accumulation of facts and collation
of interesting passages deserve to be respectfully mentioned.
And though there may be no just cause why his voluminous
work should be studied by those who have already made up
their minds about Wallace and Bruce and the events iu which
they took a conspicuous part, yet to others, who have never
hitherto troubled themselves al>out such matters or are still
undecided, the two volumes will afford a large amount of in¬
structive information aud, if there be a sufficient foundation of
Scottish enthusiasm to set out with, materials for the construc¬
tion of a historical creed.

A peculiar, but pleasant and piquant, Btyle enhances the
intrinsic value of Spain and the Spaniards, by N. L. Thieblm,
better known in the reading world as “Azamat Batuk” (Hurst
and Blackett). Nor is the intrinsic value of itself inappreci¬
able. For the author, in spite of the specious simplicity of his
manner, is not only “sly, Sir, devilish sly,” but also a keen
observer, a quick hitter, and a very sponge to suck up more
or less entertaining items. Moreover, cosmopolitan as—to
judge from his intermixture of languages and the liberality,
not to say latitudiniarism, of his views—he has always
appeared to be, he seems to have lately added the stars and
stripes to his coat of many colours, thrown iu his lot with
American journalism, and fully adopted the Transatlantic
fashion of “ interviewing,” so that he can speak from personal
experience, and as an eye-witness, not only of important
Spanish events and places, but also of conspicuous Spanish
personages. He performed the, up to that time, as he leads
his readers to infer, almost unexampled feat, for a newspaper
correspondent, of obtaining an introduction to Don Carlos, with
whom he had a conversation that lasted long enough to exhaust
a cigarette-case. He gives an account of a visit he paid to the
old and purblind Countess of Montijo, mother of the ex-
Empress of the French. Of Castelar aud Figueras he says that
he “saw the two gentlemen at work together;” and he de¬
votes an amount of space, not so disproportionately large as to
call for the apology he tenders, to a description of tho pair,
whom he declares to be “at present only two fallen stars.”
Marshal Serrano, Duke de la Torre, having shown extra¬
ordinary kindness to the author, is let off, if the expression
be admissible, with less notice than the reader will probably
consider altogether satisfactory. To write about Spain and
to ignore bull-fights would be more than human; and the
author, who is extremely human, says as much about bull-fights
as any but a very strong stomach could well endure. Of course
“Azamat Batuk” has something, aud something pretty extra¬
vagant, to say about the Spanish women. According to him,
“you would soon discover, on studying the Spanish woman,
that you must take all the virtue of the most virtuous English¬
woman, all the grace and wit of the most graceful and witty
Frenchwoman, and all the beauty of the most handsome Italian
woman, to make something approaching to a perfect Spanish
lady.” That is pretty well; and there is more where that
comes from.

Royal rank, identity of sex, and interest of a domestic rather
than of a political character seem to suggest some slight con-
ueetiou between A Brief Memoir of the Princess Charlotte of
Wales, .by the Lady Rose Weigall (John Murray), and The Life
and Times of Louisa, Queen of Prussia, by Elizabeth Harriot
Hudson (W. Inbister and Co.). For though, in the latter case,
it has been thought proper to tack the “times” on to
the “life,” and so to produce sufficient material to
fill two closely-printed volumes, such a proceeding was
entirely arbitrary and by no means called for. by the
political prominence or influence of the good Queen her¬
self. Let not this remark, however, be taken to imply that
the pages devoted to the “times ” are devoid of interest. On
the contrary, they are highly interesting. All that is meant is
that there were many amongst Queen Louisa’s contemporaries
to whose biographies an historical sketch of their epoch would
be more appropriately attached, and that the only part of the
work which has a special attraction, not to be readily derived
from other easily accessible sources, is that which exhibits to
us au excellent and a lovable sample of a woman. Indeed, the
writers own testimony is that “the warm affection which has
so long survived its object is due not so much to the Queen’s
talents, to her brave spirit and high aspirations, as to tlie fact
that, with these gifts aud these exalted aims, she still pre¬
served a tender, sympathising heart—was the mother of the
family and the mother of the land.” Yes; the occasions
on winch she lays firm hold of the reader’s heart are
when she thoughtfully and gracefully begs that she
may not be allowed to scare away a tradesman’s customers,
and when she, in motherly fashion, answers the letter addressed
by the trustful little boy to the Christ kind, and so on. As fur
”J e volume devoted to a brief memoir of that Princess
Charlotte of whom the ancients would have said that she was
well beloved of the gods so young did she die, it makes one
think of the words addressed by .-Eneas to Dido, when she
demanded to hear his pitiful story ; for it tends to “renew uu-
speakable grief. Yet there was good reason for its appear¬
ance : it was suggested by Queen Victoria herself; it has a
value derived from authentic materials supplied by her
Majesty and by others ; it contains selections from hitherto
“ provided “with an original
poi trait from a immature by Stewart ; ” and it had little need
of the apology offered by the writer for “the faults'of an
unpractised pen and the imperfect manner of execution.”

A preface so gushing aud rapturous that it produce, he
wilderment does not process one in favour of Summer
m the South Scan, by Charles Warren Stoddard (Cli.lt,, .1
Windus), notwithstanding the glimpse, that are caught mom
turns over the leaves, or some very unconventional aud en¬
couraging illustrations contributed by Mr. WaUis Mactlv
Ivor is the bewilderment much decreased when the contents of
the VO ume have been fairly grappled with. .A haw idea pre¬
vails that a narrative of personal adventure is being related bv
an American, to whom barbarism is more grateful th&u civiluJ
tion ; but the narrative seems to resemble that of the “ Ancient
Marnier ’ so far as it ma^ be said to be •'- incomprehensible
and without head or tail; and tho American, as regard, both
hm nature and his style of writing, though he doe. not
attempt the outward forms of poetry, appears to belong
to that peculiar Transatlantic species of whom Wait
Whitman is the prototype. The nudity, or all but nudity
which is a striking characteristic of the illustrations
creates vague apprehensions of impropriety ; and those appre¬
hensions are rather confirmed than dissipated by some of the
written descriptions, which, however, are remarkable for so
wild, enigmatical and unintelligible a manuer of expression
that shadowy suspicion is seldom or never converted into solid
certainty. No explanation has been vouchsafed, so far as a
tolerably careful investigation could discover, of the disjointed-
ness in the collection of experiences recorded ; but it is not
impossible that a number of separate articles, originally con¬
tributed to one or more periodicals, have been put together aud
made into a volume. The somewhat exasperating want of con¬
tinuity would thus be fully accounted for. When a more than
usually straightforward and lucid method of narration has been
adopted, as is the case especially in the chapters headed “ In a
Transport” and “A Prodigal in Tahiti’* respectively, it is
abundantly apparent that the author possesses the gift of neat
vivid and grotesquely droll, rather than naturally humorous'
delineation. The basri of his volume is “ the result of four
summer cruises among the islands of the Pacific; ” and tho
influence by w hich he was inspired when he wrote may bo
best imagined from a perusal of bia own statement -. “ I hare
sought,” he says, “to reproduce the atmosphere of a people
who are wonderfully imaginative and emotional; they nourish
the first Bymptoms of an affinity, aud revel in the freshness of
au affection as brief and blissful as a honeymoon.”

The Life and Works of Mrs. Bar (mulct, edited by Mre. Grace
Ellis, reaches us from Boston (Osgood and Co.). Mrs. Barbauldis
hardly a household word with the present generation, but, as the
editor remarks, lives in the affectionate recollection of so many of
their seniors as fully to justify the present biography and selec¬
tion from her writings. It is, indeed, impossible to over¬
estimate Mrs. Barbauld’s service as the first to introduce
healthy and rational juvenile literature into our nurseries and
school-rooms ; and, although her other literary labours were
neither so eminently useful nor destined to equal dura*
bility, they are still the productions of an independent,
capacious, animated, and liberal mind. While much is
antiquated, much among the misceHaneous works here
collected may still be read with pleasure, especially
the slightly satirical dialogues, w'hose spirit aud excellent feel¬
ing remind us of the authoress’s contributions to that universal
favourite, “Evenings at Home.” The more ambitious of Mrs.
Barbauld s poetical performances are already forgotten; but
lie/ “ Lines to Life,” like Blanco White’s sonnet on the same
subject, suffice for one reputation. These miscellanies, prose
aud poetical alike, are collected in the second volume of the work
before us. The first is occupied by the biography, which might
be pronounced tame and wordy but for the relief of Mrs.
Barbauld’s ever bright and graphic correspondence, which
affords many glimpses of the manners aud literary history of
her time.

Tho facility of musical utterance is the most distinctive
characteristic of the author of Music and Moonlight , by Arthur
O’Shaughnessy (Chatto and Windus), and his success is usually
in the ratio of the adaptation of his theme for expression
iu pure song. Few recent poems exhibit a more intimate
and exquisite association of melody with feeling than Mr.

< > Shaughnessy’s “.Song of Betrothal,” “Outcry,” “Zuieika,*
and most of the little unnamed lyrics, especially those be¬
ginning, “I made another garden’’and “lias summer come
without the rose?” Nor is the poet by any menus incapable
of loftier flights, when his subject admits of being conceived on
a restricted scale. The introductory ode, for example, is a
masterpiece not merely' of melodious expression, but of dignified
sentiment also, and there is much power of thought as well a*
of speech in individual passages of the “ Ode to a New Ago” and
“ Europe. In general, nowever, the longer poems suffer from
a disproportion of the matter to the lauguage; the motive is
exhausted much sooner than the minstrel. This diffusenc*?*
together with a not infrequent euphuism of diction equally in¬
consistent with the perfection of lyrical style, injures the effect
of much of Mr. O’Shaughnessy’s volume. Wherever he attains
conciseness and simplicity he may almost be pronounced pei-
teefc in his own sphere, which maybe defined as the lyrical
expression of the transports and torments of love, chastened by
a rapturous yet melancholy mysticism. The hi ending of these
elements is more complete than in the “ Epic of Women,” op^
w'hich the present volume, though less varied, brilliant, ami
striking, indicates an advance in several important respects.

A spirit and manner quite out of the common way aud
superior to the common order give a special charm and grace to
Studies and Romances, ItyH. Schiitz Wilson (Henry 8 . King
and Co.). Some of fche papers have already appeared in maga¬
zines ; but, if the nature of all may bo surmised from the
perusal of a few, they are agreeably free from the sort of trade¬
mark usually discernible in such contributions.

At this momont the Vienna club, abandoning CJamo I., proposed that
the present game should be given up as a drawn battle. As this was
resigning the match, the London club consented to the proposal, and the
contest terminated. No one will dispute tho prudence of London in
agreeing to consider the game as drawn, though there can be very little
doubt that if it had been fought out they would have won it.

MUSICAL PUBLICATIONS.

Messrs. Novello, Ewer, and Co. have just added to their
already extensive series of the “octavo edition of operas” by
the publication of Flotow’s “Martha,” tlie musical portion
edited by Mr. Berthold Tours, and tho original German text
associated with an English translation, carefully made by
Madame Natalie Macfarren. This edition has the same merits
as those which characterise previous issues, including frequent
indications of the leading features of the orchestral score.

The Organist's Quarterly Journal (also published by Messrs.
Novello, Ewer, and Co.) now extends to twenty-three parts,
and has entered on a third volume. The most recent number
commences with an “Offertorium” by Mr. C. A. Barry—-a
gentleman whose name is favourably known both as a practical
magician and as a writer on the art. The piece reterred to
is well suited to the purpose indicated by its title,
and allows of some effective contrasts iu the use of the
various stops. “Twelve Short and Easy Preludes,” which
come uext, are composed by Herr Augustus Bord, and will bo
found useful either as preludes or interludes. An “ Allegro
Marziale,” by Mr. F. E. Gladstone, is bold and effective, and
will serve well as a concluding voluntary, the following
“Andante,” by Mr. J. H. Wallis, being equally fitted for the
purpose of a “middle voluntary.” The fugue by Mr. W.
Wifmoce (preceded by a short prelude) is based on a well-
marked theme, which, is treated with much ingenuity. The
work is edited by Mr. Spark (organist of the Leeds Townhall).

We have already noticed Messrs. Booscy and Co.’s serial
publication entitled “Lillie’s Picture-Music,” in which tho
tastes of the youngest students are consulted by a selection of
pieces in various styles, interspersed with full-size engravings
illustrative thereof ; thus keeping childish attention alive
without the fatigue of monotony. The second book of tho
secular series, popular melodies, has just been issued—its con¬
tents comprising various well-known subjects, easily arranged
for the pianoforte.

Messrs. R. Cocks and Co. have recently contributed some
welcome additions to drawing-room vocal music. Signor Ciro
Pinsuti’s songs, “ Don’t forget mo ” and “ The Land of Loa t o,”
have each an agreeable melody, suitable for a mezzo-soprauo of
moderate compass. The lady formerly knowm as Miss M.
Lindsay has contributed three songs, “Tho old, sweet story,”
“ When tho ship comes home,” anil “When sparrow’s build,”
which are likewise available for a mezzo-soprano voice of limited
range. Mr. Brinley Richards’s patriotic song, “The Black
Watch ” (to w’ords by Mr. II. B. l'arnie), is a bold and vigorous
piece, affording good scope for a declamatory singer.

Among the instrumental music recently published by Messrs.
Cocks and Co. are some new numbers of Mr. G. F. West’s
“ Gems selected from the Great Masters ”—a series of extracts
from classical works, for the pianoforte, with occasional con¬
densation and simplification, and the leading lingering marked
for the guidance of students. The later issues include portions
of Mendelssohn’s second concerto, the adagio from the same
composer’s “Hymn of Praise” (“ Lobgesang”), and the chorus
“For unto ns,” from Handel’s “Messiah.” “ The Duke of
Edinburgh’s Quick March,” by J. Riviere, is an animated piano¬
forte piece, introducing the air “ God Bless our Sailor Prince ”
and the Russian National Hymn.

Of three songs by M. E. P. Fiirstenberg—“ little birds
that sit and sing,” “The parting,” and “I’ll give to thee”
(published by Messrs. Del&vanti aud Sennel)—we prefer tho
last two. The first is the most simple, both in its melody aud
the accompaniment ; but the other two pieces have more cha¬
racter in each respect. A voice of ordinary compass will suffice
for all.

Three pianoforte pieces by Mr. Westley Richards (Messrs.
Lamborn Cock mid Co.), an “Impromptu” a “Capriccio,”
aud a series of variations on the air “Drink to me only with
thine eyes, ” are well written for the instrument, and will afford
useful and agreeable practice.

The series of “Standard Russian Songs,” published by
Messrs J. B. Cramer and Co., will attract interest at the pre¬
sent time. No. I, “ I love him so,” by Kotschubey, and
No. 2, “ The loved can ne’er he lost,” are both characterised
rather by a southern suavity than a northern tone ; and will,
perhaps, therefore be all the more grateful to ordinary vocalists.
The melody of each is agreeable, is free from difficulty, and
lies wdthin moderate compass. “ She’s from Cork ” is a cha¬
racteristic song, bearing the popular name of Henry Russell;
a contrast to this being offered by “I’ll remember thee,” in
which the composer, Ursula Brook, has applied an expressive
melody to sentimental words.

From Messrs. Cramer and Co. we also have some pianoforte
pieces, among which a caprice, entitled “ The Spinning Wheel,”
by L. Golfieri, and “The Light Heart,” a passing thought, by
S. Alice Sheppard, may be commended as being showy without
any severe tax on the player’s executive powers.

The name of Louisa Gray has for some time been knowm as
that of a successful producer of songs. In that entitled 11 She
waits for me ” (recently published by Messrs. Chappell and Co.),
the same melodious facility is apparent as heretofore. Mr. J. L.
Roeckel’s song, “ Lilia’s Vow s ” (also issued by Messrs.
Chappell), has much grace of character, both in the melody
and tlie accompaniment.

Having sat very closely for ten days under the moderator-
ship of the Rev. Wm. Magill, of Cork, tho General Assembly
of the Irish Presbyterian Church concluded its annual delibera¬
tions at Belfast yesterday week.

The arguments in the Mar peerage claim, which have occu¬
pied the House of Lords, sitting as a Committee of Privileges,
for several days, were brought to a close on Tuesday, and tho
further consideration of the case was adjourned sine die.

Rough and ungenial weather on Tuesday marred the annual
fiito on board the training-ship Warspite, which is moored off
Chatham. The First Lord was, nevertheless, accompanied by
a large company of admirals, generals, and friends of the young
tars. The drill—which comprised reefing, setting sail, manning
boats, and other details of ship duty—was gone through
creditably. Mr. Ward Hunt concluded the ceremony by dis¬
tributing the prizes and addressing a few* words to the boys.

A musical performance w f as given yesterday week, at
Groavenor House, by the pupils of the Royal Normal College
and Academy of Music for the Blind, by the permission of the
Duke of Westminster, president of the college. The per¬
formers, who were totally blind, did themselves and their prin¬
cipal great credit Some of the solos were sung with very
great taste, and Weber’s “Invitation a la Valse” was brilliantly
performed by four pianists. Funds are greatly needed for the
object of enlarging the institution, and we hope that its bankers,
Messrs. Barclay, Bevan. and Co., will soon receive the £17,000
still heeded for the purpose beyond the £8000 already sub¬
scribed. Subscriptions may be forwarded to the hon, secre¬
taries, C. H. Chambers, Esq., and Captain Cavendish C
Fitzroy, at 28, Mount-street, Groavenor-square.

THE ILLUS TBATED LONDON NEWS.

LONDON, SA TURDA Y, J UNE Tr, IS74.

At n meeting of tlie Executive Committee of the Fund
for the Relief of the Sufferers by the Famine in Ben-al
and Jjehar, held at the Mansion House on Monday a f t-u-
noon last the Lord Mayor made the gratifying statement
Jlial the famine in India had been practically mastered
Tlie announcement was substantially confirmed b? Sir

G '»e a»rwu«c

w d aw^r late Lieutenant-Governor of the
horth-Mest Provinces. The newest telegrams wl,i h

Mure^W haD<1 ? diCa l e a brighter P*»4ect for th-
nture. U e are not authorised to interpret these glaJ

tidings without qualification. There are difficulties of
no trivial character yet to be overcome. There are pos-
sible dangers yet to be provided against. There ie ample
room for the judicious exercise of private beneficence
But, on the whole, it may now, we think, be fairly
assumed that the monster evil which threatened B 3 ng. 1 l
and Behar three months ago has been successfully
grappled with and subdued by the energy, capability,
and promptitude of the Government of India, at home
and abroad, backed, as it has been, by the voluntary
liberality of the public. Without presuming to trespass
beyond tbe limits of ascertained facts, we believe we may
characterise the feat which has been accomplished a 3
second to none since the salvation of Egypt by the wiss
prevision of Joseph. That mistakes have been made,
necessitating a Larger expenditure than might otherwise
have been required, we are not concerned to deny. The
ground of congratulation which wiJl generally be taken
by the public of this country is that an impending
calamity of frightful and almost incalculable dimensions
has been averted, and that, whereas human lives were
threatened by millions, the loss of them by famine can
be counted by units.

The British public, whilst exulting in the triumph of
British energy and wisdom in the realisation of this
result, may be fairly asked to bear in mind the secondary
evils which inevitably follow upon even a successful
struggle with the primary one. The lives which have
been saved by the provident arrangements of Govern¬
ment do not, and cannot, represent the whole extent of
misery demanding prompt alleviation. Over a wide area
homes have been deserted, natural ties have been strained
and severed, property has been sacrificed, ordinary responsi¬
bilities have been over-mastered, and stray and accidental
sufferers may be counted by thousands. The sick, the
aged, and the children of immature years, even if rescued
from the ravages of famine, have been and are exposed
to want which has a powerful claim upon public liberality.
If the contributions of the British public for the relief
of such cases should ultimately reach .£200,000, as the
Lord Mayor confidently anticipates, the sum can hardly
be regarded as an adequate representation of the
charitable disposition of tlie public in the presence of so
gigantic a calamity. Ten times that sum, we believe,
would have been forthcoming if it had been commonly
understood that the saving of life demanded it. That
obligation, however, properly devolved upon the Indian
Government, and private subscription has simply aimed
at the relief of wants and sufferings which it was im¬
possible to bring within the range of Government
machinery. We can all understand how this should be,
and we could nil wish that, in conformity with this
\u\dcrsisvwd\i\g, public l&onhty l\ud. tbu l&owwds

which it ha3 reached.

Perhaps we may justly hold ourselves entitled, at
this stage of the evil with which we have grappled, and
in anticipation of the substantial success of our efforts,
to turn our attention to what the Lord Mayor spoke of
as “ the silver lining to the cloud.” We shall be none
the less lilted to wrestle with the evils that are yet to
come for having passed in review the compensatory good
which may accompany or follow them. In the first place,
wo think, we may calculate to some extent upon the
moral effect which the energetic effort of the Indian
Government in this matter should have upon the minds
of tlie native population. Perhaps that effect will be
even less visible in the conduct of those whose lives have
been saved than in the temper of those who have wit¬
nessed the successful intervention of British authority and
British benevolence in this exigency. The Princes, the
Rajahs, and the nobles of those provinces which encircle the
area of the famine can hardly have shut their eyes to the
evidence of facts proving tlxat the power we exercise
in India is not utterly selfish. We retain our Dominion
there as much under a sense of obligation as with a view
to ambition. We recognise tbe position that we have
duties to fulfil as well as privileges to enjoy. The con¬
quest at which we aim, whatever may have been its cha¬
racter in past days, is now of a beneficent description.
We wish to do good to our fellow-subjects. We desire
to exalt the prerogatives of the Queen for their sake
rather than for our own. No doubt, we have mnch to
atone for—many passages which we could wish to be for
ever blotted from the history of India. But the world,
we trust, will acknowledge that we are doing our best to
justify our rule, and that we aspire to the glory of saving
Jives much more than to that of taking them.

There is yet another consideration which may induce
us to accept with thankfulness the trial through which
we are passing, and from which we have sufficient reason
to believe that we shall presently and triumphantly
emerge. The relief works devised and executed in
presence of the now passing famine cannot be wholly
useless. To some extent, the Labour employed upon
them must have increased the value of the soil upon
which it has been expended. The construction of taiik>
will, doubtless, benefit many a viUage estate; and the
gain to India from the enforcement of toil upon public
works will constitute a solid and permanent residuum 01
fiscal advantage after the worst effects of the famine
have passed away. Possibly, thoHe natives who are in
possession of large landed property have felt themselves
compelled to recognise the responsibility which is dan
from them to the tillers of the soil. They have not, it i*
true, in all instances done their duty in the present

eirtigtncy. But a large number of them have; and,
while combating with famine, have strengthened all
those elements of moral character which are the best
earnest of national improvement and growth.

Then, it is to be hoped, that the agony through which
India has gone will open her eyes, and dispose her heart
to those permanent remedial measures the speedy actual¬
ization of which will prove in the end to be the best
economy. Much has been done already in the way of
Public Worts. Little, however, as compared with the
need of them. Periodical famines ought to be made
impossible—will be, we trust. No village in India should
be difficult of access. No land in India should be
dependent for its fertility upon capricious sties ;
railways, internal roads, storage of water, and well-
planned irrigation may be to India trustworthy sources
of incalculable wealth The Marquis of Salisbury fully
appreciates these wants of the Eastern peninsula, and,
by seeking to add a special Minister of Public Works to
the Council of the Viceroy, he has indicated his conviction
of the dilection in which British policy must henceforth
proceed in India. The famine has read a lesson to us
all; we have hut to appreciate the moral of it. A gre at
opportunity is before us. An enterprise of surpassing
magnitude claims our immediate attention. We have
subdued the inhabitants of Hindostan, and have thereby
put ourselves under the obligation to use our authority
to the utmost in subduing the physical evils to which
they are exposed.

TEE COURT.

ferred to, but to whom grants were made from another fund
applicable to their cases. The governors next took into con¬
sideration twenty-six applications for apprentice fees, educa¬

CAMBRIDGE.

The Previous Examination List, the result of the first exa¬
mination held under the new regulations, was published last
week. Of the 230 candidates for the first part, which in¬
cludes a Greek, a Latin classic, St. Matthew in the original

Greek, and a paper of questions in Latin and Greek grammar,
156 have satisfied the examiners, 54 passing with credit iu tho
first class. For the second part, which includes Paley, Euclid,
arithmetic, and algebra, of the 253 candidates, 162 have passed,
60 being placed in the first class ; 102 have passed the additional
subjects required of all candidates for honours out of 171 candi¬
dates. Under the new system the number of rejected candi¬
dates is considerably less iu proportion than formerly. Nine
non-collegiate students obtained a first class.

Tho number of degrees conferred by the University daring
the academical year JS73-4—that is, from Juuo IS, 1873, to
June 20, 1874—is the largest on record, amounting to 822. Of
this number eleven took tlic degree of Doctor—namely, 4 in
divinity, 4 in law, and 3 in medicine; 310 projeeded to the
degree of Master of Aits, 20 to the degree of Master of Laws,
462 to the degree of Bachelor of Arts, 2 to the degree of
Bachelor of Divinity, 11 to the degree of Bachelor of Laws, an l
6 to the degree of Bachelor of Medicine. These numbers aro
exclusive ofthe honorary degrees conferred last Tuesday, a a l
represent degrees after examination and residence.

thorough confidence in the future of the school.

The following have been elected to open scholarships at

field’s : Arkle and Eyres, Marlborough.

Prize day at University College on Wednesday brought
with it a gratifying account of the state of the institution The
report read by the Dean of the Arts Faculty mentioned that
the number of students enrolled had increased to 596. Lord
Kimberley distributed the prizes, a share of which fell to lailies.

Wednesday, being speech day, or, to use the phraseology of
the school for more than 300 years, “Apposition” at St.
Paul’s School, a numerous assemblage of old Pauliue3 aud other
friends of the school met to witness the distribution of prizes.
The chair was occupied by the Warden of the Mercers’ Com¬
pany, and among the visitors present wore tho Bishop of
Llandaff, Baron Pollock, and a large number of ladies.

Additional interest was lent to the proceedings at the annual
Speech Day at Wellington College, on Thursday week, by the
fact that it was the first under the auspices of the new Heal
Master, the Rev. E. C. W. Wickham, son-in-law to Mr.
Gladstone. Tho latter gentleman was expected to be presant,
but, owing to the death of Sir Stephen Glynne, hia brother-in-
law (who was likewise coming), he was unable to attend. The
Duke of Wellington, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Lord
Hampton, the Bishop of Hereford, the Chaplain-General, the
Chancellor <f Lincoln, Dr. Benson (the lat9 Head Master),
Colonel Paget, and a large company were present.

The annual celebration of Commemoration Day at King’s
College, London, took place, on Wednesday, with special services
in the chapel, at which a sermon was preached by the Very
Rev. the Dean of Westminster. At the conclusion of the service
in the chapel a large company assembled in the ball to partake
of luncheon, at which the Principal of the college presided. He
w as lupported by Lord and Lady Hatherley, the Bishop of
Winchester, tho Earl of Harroavby, Lord Hampton, the Dean,
of Westminster, Mr. Forsyth, M.P., Sir F. Grant, Professor
Carpenter, and many members of the council.

Last Saturday afternoon tin Bishop of Chichester opened
a chapel in connection with Eastbourne College—an insti¬
tution founded mainly by the help of the Duke of Devonshire.
The Bishop, in the course of an address, said that it was well
and good that the old and wise practice of making chapels an
integral part of educational establishments should be followed
in our days. Eastbourne College, like many new institution*,
had to fight its way through mauy diiiiculties ; but it ha l now
reached smoother w aters, and there was reason to hope thit a
fair and prosperous future was before it.

The Rev. R. J. Hughes, M.A., Jesus College, Oxford, has
been appointed master of Rossall Preparatory School.

Tho children belonging to the North London Collegiate
School assembled, on Thursday, iu St. James’s Hall, for the
purpose of receiving their prizes at the hands of the Earl of
Dartmouth. The prize list, which was read by the Hea l
Master, stated that the school again stood first in all England
in University honours, and also had passed the greatest number
of candidates in the metropolitan distinct.

The Rev. H. B. Tristram, LL.D., Canon of Durham, in
the absence of the Bishop, presided at the speeches and prize
distribution of Bishop Auckland Grammar School, on the 19th.

The prizes at Clitheroe Grammar School, founded by Philip
and Mary in 1534, were distributed, on Wednesday, by Dr.
Hayman, Vicar of Aldingliam.

The prizes and certificates won by students of the Man¬
chester centre in connection with the University of Cambridge
local examinations were distributed, on Monday, by the Very
Rev. the Dean.

adorned with Mrs. Darner’s sculptured faces of Thames and Isis,
down to tho islet nearly opposite Fawlcy Court and Remen-
ham, beneath the wooded cliffs of Park Place, has this week
been made the scene of Hie annual contest among English ama¬
teur boatmen. The weather on Wednesday and Thursday,
though bright at some times of the day, was uufortunately
spoilt by violent stormy fits ; but there was a pleasant hour for
the more fortunate spectators who chanced to escape a wetting.
Our front-page Engraving shows the enjoyable position of such
a holiday party of gentlefolk on the margin of our gracious
Thames, which, from Henley down to Windsor—ay, down to
Wey bridge and Walton—is as fair a stream, with banks as fair
in cultured rural beauty, as any English scenery we know ;
nor would we consent to disparage the rather suburban at¬
tractions of Richmond and Hampton Court. The business of
tlie^ Henley Regatta may be left to tho commentator on
“ National Sports ” in Ins next weekly chronicle of such per¬
formances. Our present aim is to bear witness, as we have
often done before, to the charms of the Royal English River
that flows through these metropolitan shires.

CORNWALL.

The south-western peninsula of Great Britain might have been
called 11 Little Britain.” It was, like the mountainous region
of Gwynneth or North Wales and the different parts of
Strathclyde, including the Cumberland and Westmorland Lake
district, a stronghold of Celtic nations against the Saxon and
Norman conquerors of this island. The original inhabitants
were Cymry or Cimmerians—perhaps those mentioned by
Homer, as they were visited in his time by the Phoenician
trading ships for tin. They were of kindred race to their
neighbours of Dynevor or South Wales, and to their Continental
neighbours in Brittany. A grand Celtic League or Confedera¬
tion, of which King Arthur may really have been the last war¬
like and patriotic champion, held these Christian kingdoms of
West Britain in alliance during the first half-century of the
Saxon invasion. The field of Arthur’s last battle, where he

f ot his death-wound, fighting against his rebellious nephew,
fordred, is said to be at C&melford, not far from the
ruins of Tintagel Castle, on the rock-bound north coast. It is
more certain that the Britons, Hanes, and Saxons, the last
named under King Egbert, fought a great battle here in 823.
The very name of Cornwall, like that of W r ales, contains a
token of this ancient enmity of race, but it contains something
more. In the old Celtic tongue Kerniw signified “ Horny. ”
The shores of this peninsula, like the head of a stag, thrust
many an antlered promontory forth against the sea. The

FRATHY VALLEY,

Homans, who Latinised every British name, called the province
Comubia, when they ruled here to a certain extent. The
Saxons of Wessex, keeping the root of the old name,
spoke of it as Corn-wealas ; for thev identified its Celtic
race with the Wealas, or Welsh. This is the term every¬
where applied by Teutonic or Germanic nations to foreigners
whose language is not of the Germanic family, as the
modern Germans to this day call Frenchmen and Italians
wal&ch So it was that Cornwall long remained, to the popular
English mind, an outlandish country. To the peasantry of
Devon or Somerset it still retains that character ; unfamiliar,
uncomprehended, rather sinister and uncanny, if not, as in
former ages, a land of man-eating giants, of doleful goblins, of
malicious witches and elves or pixies, haunting its moors and
woods. The true derivation of the name Cornwall has been
stated. Anybody who chooses may believe in the hero
Corineus, who overcame the giants Gog and Magog, and led
them in chains to London, then called Troy-Novant or New
Troy, the city founded by Brutus, grandson of .Eneas, among
the native Trinobantes on the banks of the Thames. We shaU
believe in no such matter, though we have seen Gog and Magog
still captive in Guildhall. It was not Corineus, in our opinion,
who gave his name to Cornwall, but the horn-shaped pro¬
jections of its shores, more especially on the south side, where
our Artist has rambled with his pleasing sketch-book.

The south coast of this peninsula, in Cornwall as in Devon¬
shire, much differs from the north coast in its geological struc¬
ture and the Burface of the adjacent lands. On the north side
of that bare upland ridge of peaty moor and granite, which
stretches from Dartmoor to the Land’s End, the shores of the
Atlantic and Irish Sea, entering the Bristol Channel, are a pre¬
cipitous wall, resembling the rampart of a mighty fortress,
with turrets and bastions that defy the wrath of the ocean
waves. Here and there, high up between the dark slaty cliffs,
are little “ combes ” or hollows of delicious verdure, sloping
and opening seaward from the bleak moorland behind them.
But along the southern coast, in Mount’s Bay, and from the
Lizard Point to Plymouth Sound, the scenery is less stern of
aspect, and perhaps less grand, yet more beautiful : it displays
fine inlets and estuaries, landlocked gulfs and bays, with interior

limb 3 or branches, and clusters of distinct headlands far out
to sea. The more sheltered hills inland are thickly clothed
with trees on the banks of the inner waters. Such is the
estuary of the Fal, otherwise named Carrick Roads, where
Pendennis Castle is confronted by the headland, the light¬
house, and the village church of St. Anthony in Ro3eland,
close to the little town of St. Mawes. There is another
St. Anthony, seven or eight miles further on, which stands in
a similar position at the mouth of the Helford estuary, receiving
the little river Hel from Helstone. That is St. Anthony in
Meneage, or Meneacan, which means the nigged, stony bit of
country terminated by the Lizard Point, the southernmost tip
of Great Britain. It is of a third St. Anthony, or “ Anthony,
as familiarly called by the natives, that we have now to present
a few sketches. The Anthony in question is near Saltash and
Devonport, upon the shores of an inlet of the Hamoaze, or
great estuary of the Tamar, which separates Cornwall from
Devon, west of Plymouth Sound. The twin manors of East
and VVest Anthony have a certain degree of dignity in the
topographical and genealogical history of the West of England.
They comprise what is called the church town and the hamlets
of Torpoint, Wilcove, and Tregantle, besides the parish of St.
John, with Tregcnhawke. The original lords of St. Anthony
were the Arcedeckne family, from whom, by different marriage
alliances, the two manors separately passed to the Carewa and
Arundels ; thence to the Courtenays and Poles. That eminent
scholar Richard Carew—in the time of Queen Elizabeth and
James I.—who was associated with Camden, Stow, and Spoltnan
in founding the Society of Antiquaries, about 1598, was the squire
of East Anthony. His book, “ The Survey of Cornwall/’ is
one of the best works upon the antiquities of this county. The
church here contaiuB his monumental tomb, and in the manor
house his portrait is preserved, with those of Sir Kenelin
Digby and Admiral Van Tromp, by Vandyke. It ia,
perhaps, an odd coincidence that the Rev. Robert Polwhele,
a later historian of Cornwall, was Rector of the other
»St. Anthony—namely, in Meneage. One of our Artist’s
sketches is a view of Frathy valley and bay. This place is
near the St. Anthony and St. John’s of the Hamoaze, hut is
situated on the open seacoast in Whiteaand Bay, some distance
west of Ramo Head, with its newly-constructed fort. Before
leaving the neighbourhood of this St. Anthony, let us bear
record that the parish claims to be famous, like many others in
Devon and Cornwall, by a miraculous thunderstorm having
killed, or scorched and not killed, a whole congregation of
people in the old church two hundred years ago. The mansion
of Thankes, in this parish, was built in the last century, by
Lord Graves, an Admiral who performed brave exploits iu
1740. in the attack on Spanish forts in the West Indies. Of
tlie’ Carows so long dwelling at St. Anthony, wo may not forgot
Sir Alexander, who held command, for the Parliament, of
St. Nicholas Island, in Plymouth Sound, during the Civil War.
He was caught making terms with the King’s party for earning
a pardon by delivering up his post to the Royalist forces. For
this attempted betrayal of his trust he was beheaded on To war-
hill. We nave but touched one point of the Cornish coast in
our present notice. Something of equal interest might be told
of many other places in the Far West of Britain.

THE WOOLWICH INFANT SCHOOL.

The big gun that was built at Woolwich Arsenal for her
Majesty's ship Devastation was called “ the Woolwich Infant ”
by way of a joke upon its size. Its parents could not, indeed,
have pleaded in their excuse as a young mother is said to
have pleaded for her babe — that it was “only a little
cue; ” hut a fault it certainly was, for the experimental dis¬
charges cracked this mighty piece of ordnance in a most deci¬
sive manner. When we think of the explosion of a cartridge
2ft. G iu. long, with 1301b. of powder, to throw a 7001b. shot
from a tube 12iu. in diameter (a great bore, isn’t it?), we must
see it is a rather forcible proceeding. Upon such au occasion
the interior surface of the gun has to suffer a pressure in some
pai ts of more than 60 tons upon the square inch, which few
infants could endure without bursting. Not much blame,
therefore, is due to the original bantling of Woolwich
Arsenal, which was recast in a better form; but the great
guns of more recent construction, weighing likewise 35 tons
each, are designed to endure a more severe ordeal
of^ their strength. When the Emperor of Russia visited
Woolwich, a tew weeks ago, one of the sights offered to
his inspection was the assemblage of fifty guns, large and small,
which some facetious officer has called “ the Infant School.”
The very large one, suspended from the crane, is even bigger
than those we have mentioned, its weight being 33 tons. Four
35-ton guns are placed iu the middle of the row; the others are
twenty five guns weighing twenty-five tons each, and a score of
those weighing 20 tons each. Shot and cartridges belonging to
the largest guns are placed on the ground near their muzzles.
At the feet of the gentlemen who stand looking upon this dis¬
play of gigantic artillery weapons lies one of the small
mountain-guns of steel, throwing a 7*lb. shot or shell,
invented for the Abyssinian War, and lately used against the
Ashantees. Its length is about 3 ft., and it may be carried with
ease by two men, slinging it on a pole, or it may travel on the
back of a mule ; the gun-carriage forms a separate load. This
miniature ordnance will be quite as useful, in its way, as the
mightiest cannon in the Queen’s naval or military garrison
service. Our Illustration is from a photograph by Mr. H. Baden
Pritchard, of the War Office photographic department.

LABOUR AND WAGES.

On the advice of Lord Walsingham and Mr. Clare Read, the
Norfolk Farmers’ Labour Defence Association ha 3 agreed to
modify its rules with respect to locking out men and 'fixing a
maximum wage. Mr. Read declared that the farmers were not
fighting against legitimate union amongst labourers, but against
a semi-political organisation, which, if allowed to carry o'ut its
principles, would become tyrannical.

There was a great trades demonstration at Manchester, on
Saturday afternoon, in support of the loeked-out agricultural
labourers. The cash collected in money-boxes which accom¬
panied the procession amounted to £192 13s., of which £117
was contributed in pennies.

A great demonstration of miners took place at Willcnhall
on Monday, connected with the Amalgamated Association.
Sixteen bands of music and about 20,000 people, with num iraas
banners, collected upon ail open space of ground amongsi the
pits. The multitudes were addressed by Mr. Halliday, presi¬
dent of the association; Mr. Brown, vice-president; aad,
amongst others, by two Roman Catholic priests. A gtiuig
feeling was expressed by the meeting to continue the straggle
“to the bitter end/’ and Mr. Halliday assured them that there
would be funds to enable them to hold out for some time.

The Cleveland minors’ strike terminated last Saturday,
when the Miners* Council, at a full representative meeting held
at Salfcburn-by-the-Sea, accepted the employers’ terms.

FRANCE.

(From our Correspondent in Paris.)

Thursday, June 25.

Although not devoid of interest, the sittings of the National
Assembly have this week been more calm aud commonplace
than usual. The attention of the political world is just now
centred in the proceedings of the Constitutional Committee,
supposed to he engaged upon M. Casimir P^ricr’s proposition
for the definitive proclamation of the Republic, although, owing
to the Committee’s resolution to keep all its meetings secret,
it is difficult to discover with what it is really occupied, and
the newspapers are forced to fall back on a series of on dU$
more or less absurd and improbable. A debate of considerable
importance took place in the Assembly on Saturday last, when,
at M. Clapicr’s suggestion, it was resolved by 358 vofce3 against
328 that tho present objectionable system with reference to the
appointment of provincial mayors should be maintained in
vigour for another two years ; aud it is only at the expiration of
that period that the new law now being discussed will be
carried into effect. This contradictory vote has caused no little
surprise, as ouly a few weeks ago tho majority were remarkably
anxious to have the new measuro voted and promulgated.
Amongst other bills passed this week by the Assembly may
be mentioned one authorising the Government to award a
certain number of decorations to successful French exhibitors
at last year’s Vienna Weltausstellung, and another for the
protection of children trained to follow the unhappy calling of
acrobats.

The Republican journals, and notably M. Gambetta’s organ,
La JRcpulliijue Franralse, have commenced, this week, a
veritable campaign against the Bonapartist party, exposing
some fresh intrigue or manoeuvre every day. The attention of
the Government is called to the numerous Bonapartist sub
committees existing in different parts of Paris; the attempts
made to establish similar reunions in the provinces are
periodically signalled. Colonel Pietri, it would appear, has
established a “Comite des Anciens Officiers ” in the capital,
charged with the mission of winning over the army to the
cause of Napoleon IV., and a circular emanating from it has
been going the round of tho press. The Bonapartists still
carry on their propaganda with a high hand in the depart¬
ments, and, as the Government has begun making seizures
of portraits of the Prince Imperial, the wholesale distribution
of cartes de visite has been replaced by that of brochures,
eulogising the fallen regime and prophesying the speedy
enthronement of the youthful exile of Chiselhurat. Oae of
these pamphlets seeks to rehabilitate Marshal Bazaine, whom, it
describes asa “ martyr who sacrificed himself for the army and
the nation.” In addition to these brochures tho Hdpuhlique
Franccd$e calls attention to the appearance of a gaily coloured
broadsheet depictin" the exploits of the Prince Imperial from
his birth to the Bonapartist reception at Chiselhurst on
Aug. 15 last, which is sold in the streets, with M. de Four ton’s
sanction. In reference to the inquiry set on foot by the
Government, the semi-official organs announce that the police
have already discovered the existence of four secret Bonapartist
committees, presided over by MM. Jolibois, Fleury, Lagrange,
and Pietri.

The newspapers have been commenting, this week, on the
account of last autumn’s Fusionist intrigues, recently pub¬
lished by the Times; and General Chaugarnicr has drawn up
a declaration on behalf of his colleagues of the once famous
Committee of Nine, in which they formally deny that the
Count de Chamoord ever consented to abandon the white Hag,
or that they ever pretended he did, the proofs verbal of their
sittings expressly stating that, in alluding to the maintenance
of the tricolour Hag, M. Chesnelong spoke in his own name
and those of bis fellow-negotiators, and in nowise in that of
Henry V—a point which does not seem to have been generally
understood.

On Friday evening, at six o’clock, after a long and lingering
illness, M. Jules Janm, the time-honoured Parisian “prince of
critics,” expired, at his pleasant rural residence at Passy. His
funeral, which took place on Monday, was attended by nearly
3000 persons, nearly the whole of the Paris literary and
artistic world being present. Several funereal orations
were pronounced—*one by M. Cuvillier-BTeury, in the name
of the Academy, of which Janiu was a member, since 1370,
and another by M. John Lemoino, on behalf of the Journal
des Dtbals, in writing for which Janin originally acquired
celebrity, France has undoubtedly suffered a considerable I 033
in the person of this brilliant, polished, aud elegant writer,
one of the most fertile of his epoch, the long list of his pub¬
lished works, over sixty in number, comprising novels, suon a3
that strange, fantastical composition, “ L’Ane Mort et la Femme
Guillotinee,” with which he made his debut in 1829 ; “La
Confession,” “La Religieuso de Toulouse,” and “Cire3
books of travel relating to Normandy, Brittany, Italy, and the
East; historical works, such as his “Histoire de France,” and
his “ Histoire de la Litte-rature Dramatique; ” biographies,
such as his well-known studies on Bamave and Samuel
Richardson; and translations, including his “ Horace,”
generally acknowledged to be the best in the French language,
and his rendering of “Clarissa Harlowe.” His last work,
entitled “Paris ot Versailles il y a Cent Ana,” wa 3 published
only a few months ago.

Statisticians frequently maintain that crime is generally on
the decrease ; but, judging from tho constantly recurring aud
remarkably horrible criminal cases recorded in the French
newspapers, one is scarcely inclined to accept their dictum.
During the past week amateurs of assize-court emotions have
been revelling in the rumours current respecting the terrible
“ Drame de Senozan ” recently judged with closel door 3 by the
Court of Ch&lons. The circumstances of the case are rather ob¬
scure, but resolve themselves into the indictment of au uncle
charged with attempting to murder his niece’s lover. The
victim, a young avou<-, had the lower part of his jaw blown
away by a discharge from the prisoner’s rifle, and his appear¬
ance in the court excited a general movement of commiseration.
It would appear that the young persons—the girl, Mdlle.
Mane Despey, is the daughter of a Toulouse professor—had
known each other for four years, aud at tho period of the
attempted murder their marriage was contemplated, and would
probably have ensued. The prisoner, M. Lacroix, has, strange
to say, been acquitted by the jury, the reason for which can
scarcely be appreciated, owing to the Court having sat with
closed doors. Compensation, however, has been accorded to

an annuity ot£% “* ape ° f dama S e3 > amounting to £300, and

sent by the Catholic Union of New York. Four American
pilgrims presented his Holiness with a magnificent album,
containing eighty signatures, and some diamonds worth
25,000 scudi. In acknowledging sundry gifts presented to him
by the American pilgrims, the Pope said that America is now

been a sufficient fall of rain everywhere except around Calcutta.
The reports of the crops up to Saturday were extremely
favourable. In Rungpore the peasantry are cutting the early

on Tuesday morning, by the Gironne. In the Brazilian Council
of Ministers a civil marriage bill has been discussed and rejeoted.
The Electoral Reform Bill before Congress will, it is feared,
occasion a Ministerial crisis. Messages nave been sent through
the new Brazilian cable congratulating the King of Portugal
upon the establishment of telegraphic communication between
Europe and the Brazils.

It is the custom in Germany to announce engagements as
well as actual marriages in the public prints. The following
appears in the Dresden Journal with reference to such a notice :
4t With rcanect to the announcement by which I, at the end of
last November, gave notice of my being engaged to the Dowager
Baroness Zoo von Kotzebue, I am now obliged to state that
this relationship has, at her desire and to my great regret, been
broken off, because she did not find in my deportment that
gravity which’she had a right to expect.— Count BUCKNER.”

Advices from Cape Town are financially cheerful. Parlia¬
ment was about to meet, and the Governor’s speech was ex¬
pected to notify a large surplus of revenue in the treasury. A
railway policy was in public favour. Bishop Colenso’a appeal
on behalf of the rebel chief Langilabalele has been granted by
the Natal Government, with the further favour of access to the
prisoner, but this was neutralised by Langilabalele’s removal
to Durban. His tribe is said to have assumed a threatening
attitude on the frontier.

Alderman Ellis and Mr. James Shaw were, on Wednesday,
elected Sheriffs of London and Middlesex for the ensuing year.

The freedom of the Merchant Taylors’ Company was, on
^ ednesday, conferred upon Mr. Disraeli, the Earl of Derby,
and the Marquis of Salisbury. The Ministers were afterwards
entertained by the company at a magnificent banquet.

Though most of the Jewish and Roman Catholic collections
are still outstanding, the amount received on account of the
Hospital Sunday Fund is upwards of £24,000. This amount
represents the c*31- elions of nearly 1000 churches, and it L
believed that about 200 more have yet to come.

NATIONAL SPORTS.

The Cup day at Ascot was marred by the same dull, cold
weather which prevailed during the earlier part of the week ;
but this did not appear to have much effect in lessening the
number of spectators, and the Royal party, undeterred by the
bitter east wind, again drove on to the course in state some
little time before tho racing commenced. ^ The Sfc. James’s
Palace Stakes was first on the list, and Aquilo, who received
7 lb. from Eccossais and Leolinus, was a strong favourite. The
folly of trusting to a horse whose sole credentials are four
defeats was fully exemplified, as he came in third and last,
Leolinus bating Ecossais by a neck, though thej latter must
have won had he run a little more generously. Another very
hot favourite in The Colonel was beaten into third place in the
succeeding race ; but he broke down w hen some distance from
home, and Cambyscs probably owed his victory to this accident.
The much-overrated Tipster ran second, and liis Derby backers
must be fully convinced by this time that they were trusting to
a very broken reed. After an interval of nearly an hour, the
Cup horses emerged from the paddock, and there can be no
doubt that six suck four-year-olds have never previously started
for a race. They were Doncaster, winner of the Derby ; Marie
Stuart, winner of the Oaks and St. Leger; Boiard, winner of
the French Two Thousand and Derby and Grand Prix do
Paris; Gang Forward, winner of the Two Thousand ; Kaiser,
winner of the Prince of Wales’s Stakes ; and Flageolet, winner
of the Goodwood Cup and many other long-distance races. It
is estimated that the aggregate value of the half dozen
is fully £50,000. All appeared very well, with the ex¬
ception of Marie Stuart, who had a large thoroughpin on
one of her hocks and did not look nearly so muscular
as when she won the Leger. Notwithstanding this,
however, and the fact that Webb on Doncaster wore the
proper colours, backers generally fancied that “ the marc was
the better horse,” and supported her accordingly. They got
off at the first attempt. Flageolet leading at a slow pace till the
top turn was reached, when Fordham suddenly sent him along,
and stole a lead of nearly a dozen lengths from Gang Forward,
who was his nearest attendant. As they entered the old
course, Boiard passed Gang Forward, and took second place,
about a couple of lengths behind Flageolet. This gap he
gradually decreased, and, on reaching the distance, closed with
M. Lefevre’s horse and beat him cleverly by three quarters of
a length. Doncaster came terrifically fast at tho finish, and
succeeded in catching Flageolet, whom Fordham eased in the
last couple of strides. Kaiser was a fair fourth, Gang Forward
fifth, and Marie Stuart last. This was a great performance of
Boiard’s, and he has unquestionably shown himself the best
cup horse of tho year, though it must not be forgotteu that in
this same race last season Cremome disposed of Flageolet in far
more hollow style. The Windsor limited Handicap, run over
the last six furlongs of the new mile, showed wliat a certainty
Lowlander was for the Royal Hunt Cup, for though ho met
such speedy animals as Thorn, Drummond, and Oxonian, at
fair weight for age, none of them had the smallest chauce with
him. Galopin was another animal that confirmed his high
form of tho previous day, as his 91b. penalty in the New
Stakes did not seem to affect him in the smallest degree, and
he fairly romped home in front of his ten opponents. The
Beadsman-Salamanca colt, who has just been named Vasco de
Gama, was fourth; but he is far from fib at present, and, moic-
over, is said to be already affected in liis wind, a report which,
for tho sake of his plucky owner, we trust may prove un¬
founded. The pleasantest feature of the day was tho stylo in
which Prince Charlie recovered his lost laurels in the All-Aged
Stakes. He was opposed by Montargis and Andred, to each of
whom he conceded 3 lb. for tho year ; but neither of those
flyers could even make him gallop, and we have not the
smallest doubt that he will take full revenge on Blenheim if
they meet again.

There was naturally a considerable falling off in the sport on
the Friday; but, to make amends for this, the weather sud¬
denly changed and became very bright and warm. Flageolet
was the only one of the Cup horses who cared to try conclusions
once more with Boiard in the Alexandra Plate ; and the field
was made up by Reviguy, King Lud, and The Preacher. The
severe three miles was run at a capital pace throughout, King
Lud taking the lead in the Swinley Bottom and doing his beat
to cut down Boiard. The French crack drew up to and headed
him soon after turning into the straight; but King Lud stuck
gamely to his work and, after a tremendous finish, won by a
neck. Still, we are of opinion that Boiard is tho best Cup
horse at present in training. In the first place, ho had 5 lb.
the worst of the weights ; then Carver, well and patiently a3 he
rode in both races, cannot be expected to prove the equal of
Cast a nee in a head-and-head struggle ; and, lastly, King Lud
bad the great advantage of being fresh, while it was scarcely
fair to ask Boiard to run two long races, over ground like iron,
on successive days. However, the pair will probably meet in
the Goodwood Cup on perfectly equal terms in every respect.
The Ascot Plate showed that Lowlander can go a mile and a
quarter quite as well a9 a shorter distance; so there is really no
reason why he should not distinguish himself over a Cup course,
and it is almost beyond belief that ho was running in hurdle-
races at the beginning of this year. From the style in which
he disposed of Thorn, Drummond, and others, we have little
doubt that, barring Prince Charlie, he is the fastest horse iu
training, and he is one of the grandest-looking animals ever
seen. A most successful meeting was wound up with a Queen’s
Plate, in which Lilian conceded 32 lb. to Coventry and beat
him by a short head, after a desperate finish, in which little
Clay was too exhausted to make the most of his mount.

Meetings have been hold this week at Newcastle and
"Windsor; but, after such splendid sport at Ascot, it must be
admitted that the proceedings were somewhat tame. The
Northumberland Plate was, of course, the great attraction at
Newcastle, and the miners once more flocked in thousands to
witness it. For some weeks Lilly Agues (6 st. 11 lb.) has been
a strong favourite, and she fully sustained her great two-year-
ojd reputation by winning in a common canter from Louise
(7st. 7lb.) and Owton (0st. 21b.). As she seems to retain all
her brilliant speed, and stays far better than the majority of
the Agnes family, it is difficult to accouut for the two defeats
she has sustained this season. Whitehall and Memoria, two
animals that ran very badly in the Derby and Oaks respectively,
won a race apiece, but had not much to beat; and M. Fouid
carried of! the Ninth Stephenson Biennial Stakes with Col-
chique, a smart Fronch two-year-old by Light. The Windsor
Meeting needs little comment. Daniel, Mr. Merry’s “dark”
Derby horse, made an inglorions debut in the Royal Cup, as
Blenheim gave him 27 lb. and a six-lengths’ beatiug. This race
would have been a most exciting one had Sir George Chetwynd
started Tangible, but he was represented by Lunar Eclipse,
who, of course, had no chance.

The second annual sale of the yearlings belonging to the
I Stud Company took place at Cobham on Saturday last, an l
proved a decided success, the thirty-three lots, which were all
sold, producing 9570 gs., or an average of exactly 293 gs,

Prices certainly did not run so high as on the day of the first
sale ; but it must be remembered that a great many of the
mares belonging to the company were purchased in foal, and
their produce will probably sell considerably better when
they are mated with such fashionable sires as Blair Athol,
Macaroni, and, in George Frederick’s year, we suppose we
must add Marsyas, all or whom are now located at Cob ham.
The premier of the sale was a very fine colt by Blair Athol—
Circe, for whom Mr. Chaplin gave 1200ga. Another Blair
Athol colt, from Alcestis, the dam of Devotion, made 1050 gs.,
at which price he was taken by Robert Peck, Mr. Merry's
trainer. Only one other reached four figures, and this was a
lilly by I leadsman—Madame Eglantine, for which Captain
Machell had to pay 1000 gs. She is an own sister to The
Palmer, Moma, Roaicruciau, and Chaplet, and, though small,
is beautifully shaped and full of quality. The company gave
lOOOgs. for Madame Eglantine at the sale of Sir Joseph
Hawley’s breeding stud, so this very valuable mare may
now be said to have coat them nothing. The Blair Athol—
Coimbra colt, own brother to Gienalmond and Claremont,
did not make the price that was expected, and Joseph Hayhoa
secured him for 600gs., at which we consider him a bargain.
His rather loaded neck somewhat detracts from his appearance;
but the poor figure cut by Gienalmond in the Derby doubtless
made buyers shy, and we fancy that Claremont is not as good
as has been represented, or Captain Machell would have put in
a strong bid for an own brother to him. Nearly every share in
the company is now taken up, and we hope and believe that it
has a most successful future before it.

The trial matches which have been played by the University
elevens, prior to their annual contest, which will be commenced
on Monday next, at Lord’s, have naturally been watched with
great interest by cricketers. Oxford disposed of Middlesex in
most extraordinary style, tho whole match—which was won in
a single innings, with fifteen runs to spare—occupying only six
hours. Mr. C. F. Buller (29) was the only batsman who made
any stand for the county ; while Lord Harris (39) and Messrs.
A. W. Ridley (25) and C. A. Wallroth (36) were the chief
ecorers for OxforA Messrs. T. B. Jones and T. W. Lang
bowled exceedingly well, taking ten and seven wickets respect¬
ively. Cambridge did not fare so well against Surrey, as,
though the University men were in front at the end of the first
innings, yet they eventually succumbed by 64 runs—a defeat
which would have been far more decisive but for the fine
batting of Mr. A. S. Tabor (59 and 42). The captain, Mr. G.
H. Longman (39 and 10), also played well; but the rest of the
eleven did not do much. Tlie same two gentlemen scored,
freely in a match against tlic M.C.C. and Ground, which was
commenced on Monday. Mr. G. Macau (20) was also in form,
and tho “ light blues ” won by nine wickets, Mr. C. J.
Thornton (47) being the only one of their opponents who gave
them much trouble. Middlesex and Surrey met at Princes at
the beginning of this week; and, after two days’ play, the
latter won by 102 runs. Jupp (41 and 53) is playing splendidly
just now, and he was well supported by Swann (41)aud Mr. A.
Chandler (20 and 49). The bowling of Street, in the first
innin gs of Middlesex, proved very deadly. Yorkshire secured
a very unexpected victory over the U.S.C.O. The latter, on
commencing their second iunings, had only to get 65 runs to
win; but, thanks to the splendid bowling of Hill and Ulycfcb,
were all disposed of for 39.

At the time of writing, the Henley Regatta is in full swing,
and we shall give an account next week.

Tho Royal Thames Yacht Club’s Channel race for the
Queen’s cup was sailed on Wednesday, the course being from
the Nore to Dover. Count Battliyany’s cutter Kriemlrilda took
the first prize, Mr. Taylor’s schooner Sea Belle the second, and
Mr. Jesaop’s Florinda tho third.

The Leamington and Midland Archery Moeting has been
held this week.

REBUILDING ST. CLOUD.

Three years and a lialf ago the palace, gardens, park, and small
town of St. Cloud, one of the most attractive suburbs of the
French metropolis, were the centre of a tremendous military
struggle between the two most powerful nations of Europe.
St. Cloud was reduced to a field of unsightly and melancholy
ruins by the tremendous storm of warfare that continued
during many years to rage over its trim precincts. The work
of rebuilding has lately been commenced at the chateau, having
already made some progress in the town. This is the subject
of which an Illustration is supplied by one of our Paris Artists.
A party of labourers are seen employed in digging out and lift¬
ing the loose blocks of stone that encumber trie site, in order
to lav new foundations there. A two-horse waggon is laden
with beams of timber, half charred by the fire that destroyed
the former edifice. Two crippled soldiers, one of them a
zouave, examine sadly enough the scene which bears such
tokens of a disastrous struggle. Much has been done in
removing the fragments of the once stately palace, but it is said
that the portico looking towards the park may be preserved.

A FRENCH CHARITY FANCY FAIR.

We last week presented an Illustration of the manner in which
English ladies of the highest rank and fashion will condescend
upon occasion to serve a benevolent cause by playing at the
business of shopkeepers, and selling a variety of ornamental
toys at extraordinary prices to visitors who may not refuse to
buy them. “They manage these things better in Franco” is
a proverbial saying which, in the present instance, we should
hardly think likely to be true ; for it is the English who are
called La nation boutiqnitrc, and our bustling lady patronesses
of so many charitable institutions have a natural talent for
making money to support their laudable operations. In the
conduct of such affaire in Paris, it has l>een remarked, there is
a more free admixture of innocent gambling, and various forms
of avowed entertainment, with the retail trade of the ordinary
stall-keepers. The wheel of fortune, tombola or roulette, is
made to revolve briskly and impartially with tho ventures of
an eager company of bystanders ; and many a five-franc pieco
is staked upon the choice of a certain number, or of a par¬
ticular colour, with the satisfactory assurance that the gentle¬
man who loses, or who has to pay for a lady companion when
she loses, will have contributed to a sainte ceuvre de p‘4M. So
it was in the Champs Elysces on the afternoon of Tnursdiy,
the 4th mst, when a fete villageoise took place in aid of the
Maternity Charity of Paris ; and this lively scene is delineate 1
by our Artist in the sketch we have now engraved.

A polo-match wa3 played in Windsor Great Park last Satir-
day, between the Household Cavalry and the Foot Guar Is
when Captain Reynardson, of the Grenadier Guards, violently
cannoned against another rider, and wa 3 thrown heavily to the
g»ound, where he lay for some time insensible. It was ascer¬
tained that he bad sustained concussion of the brain and son*
serious internal injuries ; but ho taa since been reported some¬
what better.

“NURSERY TALES."

Early to bed and early to rise, .

Ts the way to be healthy, wealthy, and wue.

The above are the title and motto of the water-colour drawing
by JIr. Dobson, R.A., which wo have engraved from the Royal
Acade my Exhibition. The book in the hand of the girl m the
drawing tells of the source of the “ nursery tales ” aud ditties
alluded to. The elder sister, acting the mother’s part, has baen
amusing her little brother with the wonderful legends of that
wou tiering child-time. But now it is Late enough for young folk
to go to bed ; so, as she takes her charge in her arms, she gives,
in the conplet quoted, both rhymo and reason for mounting to
the c! mitory. The good little fellow is content, as his expres-
«?* a showeth. Good-night, baby brother 1 May the cherubs
watch over the nest where thou lieat! And bless thee, too,
dear sister, for thy pious affection ! Is thore anything purer
and more unselfish on earth ? Technically this drawing has tb ,
breadth of treatment for which all Mr. Dobson’s water-'* ' -* r
drawings are remarkable.

the Queen’s Bench in Ireland. The matter has been brought
to this issue—either the river is to be purified or Ireland i* to
lose the Chief Justice. The prospect of this calamity was
brought pathetically before the notice of the Secretary for
Ireland by Mr Sherlock, aud that functionary stated that the
Irish Executive had duly felt the shock which the threat of re¬
signation of the great legal officer had produced, an 1 that
immediate steps would be taken to suppress the odours which
the wind bore between the Liffey and the Cnief J ustice. U p started
eagerly the Lord Mayor of Dublin, who represents that city ill
the House, and declared that even the hoarthiss aud siullc33
Corporation over which he presides had caught the terror which
the prospect of a vast vacuum on the judicial bench had
generated, and that that body was about to throw itself into the
Liffey, and, calling on Hercules to bless its efforts, would make
a clean sweep of the river. Naturally, the episodo produced
much emotion, hut it was of the kind which tends to produce
laughter. _

In truth, to the depression under which Mr.
? . a seemed to labour during the discussion on the bill thore
succeeded after its departure a buoyancy and a cheerfulness
which were remarkable; while to that vacillation and incer¬
titude of which he was accused in dealing with the Liquor Bill
there followed, in his conduct of the Factories Bill, a firmness
and decision which were the more remarkable because they
were unlooked for. The penultimate stages of the Liquor Bill
were characterised by discussions so sharp and almost fiery as
to justify the sneer of some cynical people that alcohol had
got into the atmosphere and insensibly exercised an oxciting
influence on legislators. Thus, on the night on which it was
hoped that the stage of report would be achieved, there arose
an almost fierce contention about a point, no matter what, on
which the Government and the OpposifciouVere almost ranged
in direct hostility against each other. The adjournment of the
debate was pressed by the minority in that maimer by which a
minority can at any time block tbe progress of a measure,
and the interference of Mr. Disraeli became necessary.
He conducted himself in that tactical way which with
him is now a sixth sense. He permitted the attempts to assert
the right * ‘ the Government to go on, just so long as to show
how facti. and unreasonable were the proceedings of the
minority ; d then gave way in so courteous and pleasant a
manner that efore any remonstrance could be made the House
found itself x pped into a morning sitting. It might have been
thought that next day at two o’clock in the afternoon the renewed
discussion would be calmer than that which, raged at an hour
which was nearer to two o’clock in the morning; but, by-aud-
by, it became quite as fervid. The chiefs of the Opposition
came to tbe front, and the vexed question was hotly canvassed,
and a flood of reproaches was poured on the Homo Secretary
for his frequent “ changes of front” during the manipulation
of the bill. Something of this was true, but not enough to
have put the Liberal front benchers into such pets. At length
Mr. Childers led a final charge against the objectionable pro¬
vision which had been so hotly disputed, and it so happened
that several Ministerialists joined him, and signified that the
point involved might as well be ceded, and so Mr. Cross, who
had had resort to the use of the vis inertht , not troubling
himself to speak, but acting by means of successful divisions,
gave way, and in a short time he must have begun to experience
the lelief above alluded to, which must have been akin to
that which Christian in the “Pilgrim’s Progress” felt when
4 ‘his burden fell off.”

Ihe liquor bill, however, w-as destined to go through yet
another ordeal, for its third reading was challenged by a
formidable opponent in the person of Sir Wilfrid Lawson.
Nobody objected to a speech from him, and, as ever, he drew
a large audience. Perhaps he disappointed a little, for jost,
and quip, and crank did not pervade his address, as is liis wont;
but he w*as earnest—almost impassioned—and, trath to sav,
rather turgid in his st 3 r le and rhodomontadish in his imagery.

A few jokes and comic tropes he did give out, and they were of
first quality. Then up rose Air. Goschen in a vein that was new
to the House ; for he was passionate, sarcastic, and profuse in
ironical phrase-making, and, on the whole, mado what may be
coiled a “slashing” party speech. Perhaps ho caused a good
deal of surprise, but the general feeling might well have been
wonder at such tremendous indignation being elicited by so
comparatively small a cause. So much might have been
gathered from the first sentences of Mr. Cross’s reply, whioh
contained the parting words of the Lower House on the bill.

Some first appearances may be adverted to; and, notably,
notice may be taken of the advent of Mr. Morris, member for
< ac kad to defend his peccant borough from an assault

of Mr. Conolly, who wanted to have it disfranchised for chronic

corruptioncontmueddowntothepresentraoment. Mr. Morrisfub
filled the conventional idea of Irish elocution, but in its best phase.
He was humorous, with a special and national humour, and he
was declamatory m moderation ; and on that particular occa¬
sion aud on that particular subject he achieved a success. On
two successive evenings the new member for Paisley, Mr.

V\ uliam Holms, delivered liimself—namely, on the Friendly
Societies Bill and the Factories BilL To each discussion he
brought ample knowledge of the subjocts, a steady fluency, and
a voice and intonation so like that of his brother, the member
^ e ^’ , a8 ,.?° mako him almost familiar to the House.
The rhetorical likeness extended no farther, for he displayed
ci er the energy of mannor nor the incisiveness of style that
characters Ins relative. It may or may not be remembered
that in an early stage of the Factories Bill Mr. Edward
Stanhope, the youthful-looking new member for Mid-Lincoln-
shire, delivered himself m a confident, dashing wav, his
authoritative assertion of himself being justified by his know¬
ledge of what ho was talking about. Ho carno out again on
the Tnendly Societies Bill with equal vigour of voioo and de¬
meanour and fluency of speech; and, again, what would in
most cases of so young a man and member have approached
audacity, was only authoritativeness, derivodfrom evidont
study and perception of the matter in hand.

Amongst lighter episodes tfacre has bean one, which, brief
as it was, was chargod with momentous importance. It seems
that the river Liffey, in Dublin, flows near the law courts, and
its peculiar characteristic, which need not be too curiously inr-
ticuianscd, has had a terrible influence on the Chief Justice of

no USB OF LORDS.

Yesterday week Lord Kimberley callod attention to the
inconsistency of having different regulations prevailing in
England and Ireland with regard to the contagious diseases of
cattle ; Lord Rosebery obtained a Select Committee to inquire
into the law relating to the election of Representative Peers
for Scotland and Ireland ; the Public Worship Regulation Bill
was considered on report; the County Courts Bill was read the
second time ; and the Statute Law Revision Bill was read the
third time and passed.

The Board of Trade Arbitrations Bill was, on Monday, real
tbe second time, on the motion of Lord Duntnore ; the Report
of Amendments to the Supreme Court of Judicature Act
(1873) Amendment Bill was received ; the Court of Judicature
(Ireland) Bill and the Revenue Officers’ Disabilities Bill were
read the third time and passed ; and the Powers Law Amend¬
ment Bill, the County Courts Bill, and the Churches and
Chapels (Scotland) Exemption Bill went through Committee.

Among other measures which were advanced a stage oa
Tuesday the Married Women’s Property Act Amendment Bill
was passed through Committee, the County Courts Bill was
read the third time and passed, the Wild Birds Law Amend¬
ment Bill w'as read the second time, aud the Intoxicating
Liquors Bill was read the first time. Lord Salisbury brought
forward the conduct of Lord Sandhurst in writing to the news¬
papers complaining of the way in which the India Councils Bill
was carried through the House, so that ho was prevented from
objecting to a clause, and this was characterised a 3 irregular,
an opinion in which Lord Granville concurred.

The principal subject considered by their Lordffxips on
Thursday waa the Public Worship Bill of the Archbishop of
Canterbury. After a lengthened discussion it was read the third
time,

HOUSE OF COMMON'S.

At the first morning sitting of the session, yesterday week, a
new writ was ordered for Galway; the consideration of the reports
of amendments on the Intoxicating Liquors Bill was concluded ;
progress waa made in Committee with the Valuation of Pro-

B Bill; the Juries (Ireland) Bill and the Working Man's
lings Bill were passed through Committee ; aud the Im¬
provement of Land (Ireland) Bill was read the third tini 3 and
passed. At the evening sitting Mr. Seely’s motion on tenant
right was discussed and withdrawn, after a statement by Mr.
Disraeli ; the Building Societies Bill aud the Conjugal Rights
(Scotland) Bill were read the third time ; the Municipal Privi¬
leges (Ireland) Bill and the Public Health (Ireland) Bill went
through Committee ; and clauses 1 to 10 of the Intoxicating
Liquors (Ireland) Bill were agreed to in Committee.

The Intoxicating Liquors Bill was, on Monday, read the
third time, after some debate ; the Friendly Societies Bill was
discussed at great length on its second reading, and was prac¬
tically withdrawn for the Session; the Valuation (Iretand)
Act Amendment Bill, the Courts (Straits Settlements) Bill, and
the Wenlock Elementary Education Bill (from the Lords) were
read the second time ; and the Juries (Irelaud) Bill was read
the third time and passed.

The Factories (Health of Women) Bill was taken in Com¬
mittee on Tuesday, and occupied the greater part of the sitting,
and passed that stage in all essential points as the Government
proposed it. The Intoxicating Liquors (Ireland) Bill was also
taken in Committee. The Courts (Straits Settlements) Bill
passed through Committee. The Colonial Attorneys Relief
Act Amendment Bill and the Working Men’s Dwellings Bill
were read the third time.

There were seventeen orders on the paper on Wednesday,
but nearly the whole of the sitting was occupied by considera¬
tion of the second reading of the Merchant Shipping Survey
Bill, which was moved by Mr. Plimsoll in a moderate speech.
After an animated debate, it was rejected by the narrow
majority of three votes, the numbers being 170 for the measure
and 1/3 against it. The Personation Bill passed through Com¬
mittee ; the Infants’ Contracts BHJ, from the Lords, was read
the Becond time ; and a bill to amend the law of evidence a3 to
bankers' books was read the first time.

On Thursday, Mr. Malcolm and Sir George Elliott took the
oath and their seats—the former for Boston, in the room of
Mr. Parry, unseated on petition ; the latter for North Durham,
the formor election having been declared null and void. A

MUSIC.

THE HASDEL EKSTIVAL.

This great celebration at the Crystal Palace—which termin.ut
yesterday (Friday)—has, of course, been the evont of m,,
mount interest over all the musical doings of the week
This occasion was the seventh assemblage of the kind a ij
the fifth triennial meeting held at Sydenham. The three du/
performances given there in 1857 were experimental, and
Bisted of “ The Messiah,” “Judas Maccabmus,” and “Israel ?■*
Egypt.” The success which attended this experiment led to *
second festival, in 1859, when “The Messiah ” and“Israel'’
w ere again given on the first and third days, the intervening
Wednesday having been appropriated to a iniscelUaZf
selection, which arrangement has been followed in subsequent
festivals ; these having, from the date last named, been maift
triennial in recurrence.

The preparations and arrangements for the festival of 1874
were on fully as grand and complete a scale as in any previous
instance. A chorus of nearly 3000 voices was supported by an
orchestra of proportionate power, numbering upwards of 450
instrumentalists. The choir was mainly composed of members
of the Sacred Harmonic Society and the permanent London
Festival choir; lrnving been, however, largely reinforced hr
some excellent choristers from provincial sources. ^

The leading violinist was M. Sainton, Mr. Willy having
been principal second, Mr. Doyle principal viola/and M
Laserre and Mr. J. Howell at the head, respectively, of tbe
violoncellos and double basses. The string band consisted of
371 performers, and the wind band was accordingly increased
far beyond the usual proportions in order to obtain a dup
balance. Mr. Radcliff stood at the head of the flutes if
Brossa at that of the piccolos ; Mr. Barret was first oboe * Mr
Lazarus first ckirinet, and Mr. Hutchings first bassoon. * Ths
list of the brass band contained the names, as principals o f
Mr. T. Harper (trumpet), Mr. C. Harper (horn), ami Mr*
Reynolds (cornet); ophicleides, euphoniums, trombones, and
drums of various calibre, having all been in the hands of
efficient performers.

This gigantic assemblage waa marshalled in the great Haudel
orchestra of the Crystal Palace before midday yesterday
(Friday) week, and about twelve o’clock Sir Michael Ccwta
lifted liis baton for the commencement of the general public
rehearsal, at which portions of the programmes of each of this
week’s three performances were gone through, without stop or
hindrance, affording wondrous proof of the amount of care ami
preparation that had been exercised. Selections from “ The
Messiah,” “Israel in Egypt,” and other works (secular as
well as sacred) were given, the solo singers having been Mdlle.

On Monday the festival opened with “ The Messiah,” pre¬
viously to which the National Anthem was given by choriu,
band, orchestra, and organ—Sir Michael Costa having beea
enthusiastically greeted on taking his place.

The performance of the oratorio included some of the liaest
chorus-singing that has ever been heard on these occasions.
The former improvements in the construction of the Handel
orchestra, the more recent additions of screens at the sides of
the central transept and a velarium spread under the roof
thereof, have co-operated, w ith the long-continued training aud
thorough preparation of the choristers, to ensure a degree of
precision and a fnsion and concentration of the enormous mass
of vocal sound such, as have scarcely before been realised here.
These results were evidenced in nearly all tbe choruses of “ The
Messiah,” special instances having been those sublime move¬
ments, “For unto us, ” “ Hallelujah,” and the final “ Worthy
is the Lamb,” with its closing fugal “ Amen.”

The soprano solos, “Rejoice greatly” and “Come uufco
him,” were sung by Mdlle. Titiens ; those in the subsequent
parts of the oratorio, “ How beautiful ” and “ I know that my
Redeemer,” having been assigned to Madame Sinico. In like
manner, the contralto airs were divided between Meadame*
Trebelli-Bettini aud Patey, the former of whom gave, “But
who may abide,” “ O, Thou that telleat,” and “ He shall feud
His flock”; and the latter singer “He was despised.” Mr.
Sims Reeves was unable to appear in consequence of a cold,* 11 ^
the airs put down for him—“Behold! aud see,” “But Thou
didst not leave,” and “ Thou shalt break them ”—were given
by Mr. \ ernon Rigby, who had previously sung the opening
recitative, “Comfort ye,” and air “Every Valley.” Signor
Agnesi gave the bass air “The people that walked in dark¬
ness ” (wffth its preliminary recitative), Mr. Santley kavioz
sung “ YY hy do the nations 7 ” and “The trumpet shall sound s
(this with the fine obbligato of Mr. T. Harper). The name*
of the singers sufficiently indicate their efficiency in pieces with
which they have so frequently been associated.

The second performance, on Wednesday, comprised an
interesting and varied miscellaneous selection, the first parfcoi
which consisted of sacred, the second of secular, music. Thu
commencing piece was the overture to the “ Occasional Ora¬
torio,” a work said to have been composed in celebration of tho
“ northern victories ” of the Royal troops in 1745. This wai
very effectively rendered by tho band. Afterwards came »
selection from “Saul;” the choruses, “How excellent,"
“Envy, eldest born,” and “Gird on thy swordthe air, “0
Lord, whose mercies ” (expressively sung by Madame Trebelli-
Bettini) ; and the solemn “ Dead March,” the latter encore!
The air from “Samson,” “ How willing my paternal loyo’”"
finely given by Mr. Santley—was followed by the chorus,

“ his loud voice;” the recitative, “ Deeper and deop&r

still; and air, “Waft her, angels,” all from Handel’s latent
oratorio, “ Jephthah.” Tho solo pieces gave occasion for tho
long-deferred reappearance of Mr. Sims Reeves, whose entry vr*J
greeted with acclamations from every quarter of the building.
Although personally bearing traces of his protracted and severs
mness, the great singer displayed all his wonted grandeur of
style, and the apj)lause which followed his performance was
even greater than that which preceded it. The air, " if
gnltlessblood (by Mdlle. Titiens), and the chorus, “Rights
Heaven, both from “Susanna,” were followed by the con*
tyalto solo. Lord, to Thee” (Madame Trebelli-Bettini), from
IheodoraV and the fine chorns, “Glory be to the Father”

( rom the ! trecht “Jubilate”), formed an imposing dim***®

the first part of the selection. * 6

- 8econd portion of the performance opened with the

lourtfi organ concerto (in F), which was very skilfully e**
e by Mr. . T. Best (of Liverpool), who introduced *
clever and elaborate cadenza of his own. A seleofciou fro®
Acis and Galatea” followed, including the choruses, ”0,
the pleasures of the plains,” and “Wretched lovers and
e solos. Hush, ye pretty warbling choir ”—by Madame
‘Sfiorrnigton (with piccolo obbligato by Mr. Bressa);
a , ^ ruddier than the cherry”—by Mr. Santley. The
‘*T) U V Horn Harmony,” the bright march, and the air

setting of Dry den’s “ Ode on St. Cecilia’s Day ; ’were followed

work, the air “Where’er you walk,” from the seronata entitle I
a ( s e mele; ” these solo pieces having been admirably sung,
respectively by Mdllc. Titiens ana Mr. Camming. The
beautiful chorus, “The many rend the skies;” and the
declamatory air. “Revenge, Timotheus cries,” finely sung by
Signor Agnesi (both pieces from “Alexander’s Feast”), were
succeeded by the trio and chorus “See the conquering
hero” (the solo passages by Mdlle. Titiens and Mesdama3
Lemmens-Sherrington and Trebelli-Bettini). This piece belongs
to the oratorio “Joshua,” and it was chosen as a supplement
to the secular selection on account of the fine climax which it
affords.

The festival closed yesterday (Friday) with a performance
■of “ Israel in Egypt,” of which we must speak next week.

The energy, skill, and punctuality of Sir Michael Costa have
again been powerful causes of the success of the Triennial
Handel Festival. _

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.

In consequence of the sudden indisposition of Mdlle.
Marimon, the production of Ambroiae Thomas’s “ Mignon ”
was postponed from Tuesday week to Saturday, when it wa3
given /or the first time at this establishment, with Mdlle.
Albani as Mignon, and Mdlle. Marimon as Filina—M. Faure
having appeared as Lotario (as in the first performance of the
Italian version of the work at Her Majesty’s Opera, in 1870,
when Madame (then Mdlle.) Nilsson was the Mignon.

As to the opera itself, we need now only briefly reiterate
the opinion previously given—that it contains some very grace¬
ful and pleasing nmsic, more comparable with that by which
the composer had previously earned his fame than that of his
later ambitious and heavy “Hamlet.”

The performance of Mdlle. Albani was characterised by
inch exquisite grace and charm, vocal and personal, that the
character of Mignon will probably take the foremost rank
among her many attractive performances. In every scene her
succesB was triumpliant—special applause having followed her
refined and poetical delivery of the romance, “ Non conosci ”
(“ Kennst du das Land ”), the characteristic “ Styrienne,” the
fervent prayer in the last act, and other exquisite displays of
histrionic and vocal skill.

An admirable feature in the cast of the opera was the Filina
of Mdlle. Marimon, who sang and acted with a true apprecia¬
tion of the musical and dramatic requirements of the part that
conduced largely to the general effect. In the well-contrasted
trio in the second act (in which Filina is prominent), iu her
volatile aria “ Io son Titauia,” not to mention other instances,
the brilliant vocalisation and the arch and playful manner of
Mdlle. Marimon were alike excellent. M. Faure was an
admirable representative of Lotario (as in the performance of
1870) ; and the cast was efficiently completed by Mdlle.
Smerosclii as Fcderige, Signor Nicolini as Gaglielmo, Signor
Ciampi as Laerte, Signor Raguer as Giarno, and Signor
Manfrcdi as Antonio. The overture was encored, and the latter
part repeated.

“Mignon” is splendidly placed on the stage, with now
scenery, costumes, and decorations, and can scarcely fail to
prove a source of attraction during coming seasons. It was re¬
peated on Wednesday.

The other operas announced for this week were “ II FI auto
Magico ” on Monday, “Don Giovanni” on Tuesday, “L 33
Huguenots” on Thursday, “I Puritani” on Friday, and
Verdis “Luisa Miller ” to-night (Saturday), for the drat tima
at the Royal Italian Opera, the principal character to be sus¬
tained by Madame Adeuna Patti.

HER MAJESTY'S OPERA.

Balfe’s “II Talismano ” continues it3 attraction, prominent
features being the exquisitely graceful performance of Madame
Christine Nilsson ana the splendour of the scenery aad stage
appointments. The opera was given for the fourth time on
Monday last.

On the previous Thursday “Lucrezia Borgia” was per¬
formed, with Mdlle. Titiens’s powerful representation of the
character of Lucrezia, Signor Gallandi as Gennaro (a recent
debutant) having been again well received. On the following
Saturday M. Acnard made a third successful appearance here—
liis first as Fernando in “La Favorita,” which also included the
fine performance of Mdlle. Titiens as the heroine.

The second of this week’s performances consisted of “ Le
Nozzo di Figaro” on Tuesday. “ Lucia di Lammermoor ” wa3
announced for Thursday ; “Lucrezia Borgia” for Friday ; and
for to-night (Saturday), “ II Talismano” (for the fifth time).

The new cantata, “Supplication and Praise,” composed by
Dr. Sloman, of Scarborough, was produced at the Royal Albert
Hall last week, under tnc composer’s direction. The solo
vocalists were :—Madame Lemmens-Sherrington, Mr. Vornon
Rigby, and Signor Foli ; and the choruses were rendered by the
gigantic choir formed and trained by Mr. William Carter. The
cautati was well received throughout, and the soprano air,
“ Let the righteous rejoice,” was redemanded.

The second grand opera concert of the season drew a large
audience at the Royal Albert Hall last Saturday afternoon,
when the fine singing of Madame Christine Nillson was pro¬
minent ; other eminent members of Her Majesty’s Opera
contributing to a varied programme.

The nineteenth season of Mr. Henry Leslie’s concerts closed
on Thursday evening, when the selection was divided into
sacred and secular portions, and included several fine works in
which the admirable singing of Mr. Leslie’s choir has frequently
been evidenced.

The eighth and last of Mr. Charles Hallo’s interesting piano¬
forte recitals is to take place this (Saturday) afternoon, when
the f programme promises a varied selection of pieces of the
classical and romantic school, and includes the first performance
of a pianoforte quartet by Herr Gemsheim.

Among the most important of the miscellaneous concerts of
the week were those of the eminent operatic conductor, Signor
Arditi, and Mr. Brinley Richards, the well-known pianist,
composer, and promoter of Welsh, national music. The pro¬
gramme on the first-named occasion included a performance of
the cantata composed by Signor Arditi, in celebration of the
marriage 0 / the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh.

The seventh concert (and last but one) of the Philharmonic
Society’s sixty-second season takes place on Monday next.

Mr. Sims Reeves’s benefit concert, which was to have taken
place on the 1st inst., but was unavoidably postponed, is now
announced as fixed for Monday next, the 29th inst., at the
Royal Albert Hall. Mr. Reeves will have the valuable co¬
operation of Madame Christine Nilsson, Madame Lemmens-
Sherrington, Madame Norman - Neruda, Madame Trebslli-
Bettini, and Mr. Santley ; several choral pieces will be con¬
tributed by the Royal Albert Hall Choral Society under the
direction of Mr. Barnby.

Special interest attaches to the morning concert to be given
l y Madame Christine Nilsson at St. James’s Hall on Welne3-
•dr.y next, not only on account of the promised performances of

herself and other eminent artists of Her Majesty’s Opera, but
also because of the object of the concert—the raising of
additional funds (which are much needed) for the West¬
minster Training-School and Homo for Nurses .

We have already given an outline of the principal features
promised at the forthcoming Leeds Musical Festival (which
commences Oct. 14), and have now to anuouuca another extra
festival, to take place at Liverpool, in the Philharmonic
Hall, from Sept. 29 to Oct. 3 inclusive. His Royal High¬
ness the Duke of Edinburgh has accepted the post. of
president, and is expected to be present. The vice-
presidents include the Earl of Sefton, . Lord-Lieutenant
of the county ; Mr. Richard Smothurst, High Sheriff of the
county of Lancaster; the Archbishop of York, the Mayor of
Liverpool, the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, the Home Secretary,
and the Bishops and principal people of the adjacent counties.
The sacred works will include Mr. Sullivan’s “Light of the
World.” Mendelssohn’s “St. Paul,” Haydn’s “Creation,’
Gounod’s mass, “SS. Angeli Custodes,” and selections from
some of Handel’s oratorios. Among the secular works will be
M. Gounod’s “ Jeanne d’Arc ” music, Beethoven’s Choral
Symphony, and the following now works composed expressly
for the festival:—A symphony by Sir Julius Benedict, an over¬
ture by Mr. G. A. Macfarren, and a “suite” for orchestra by
Mr. J. F. Barnett. Each composer will superintend the re¬
hearsals and conduct the performance of his own work ; but
the concerts generally will be conducted by Sir Julius Benedict.
The orchestra, numbering a hundred performers, will be led by
M. Sainton ; and the chorus of 300 voices is being trained by
Mr. James Sanders. Mr. W. T. Best will preside at the organ.
A ball will be given on the Friday evening ; and on the same
day, in the Royal Amphitheatre, there will bo competitions for
prizes for choral societies and soloists. The proceedings will
close, on the Saturday afternoon, with a concert and public
presentation of the prizes.

THEATRES.

Only enough of interest exists at this present time in relation
to theatres as’may suffice to keep many of them open—of
novelty there is nothing. But we are promised a now comedy
by Mr. Robert Buchanan in about a week, to be entitled
“A Mad-Cap Prince,” which may set the Hayraxrket going
again. The revival of Mr. Irving in Mr. W. G. Wills’s dr ami
of “ Eugene Aram ” satisfies the requirements of the Lyceum
audienco. Mr. Charles Mathews, as the member of “A Nice
Finn,” ha 9 amused the Gaiety audience. At the Vaudevillo
Mr. Boucicault is represented by “Old Heals and Young
Hearts and at the Court “Brighton” and “Calypso” still
maintain their position. At the Criterion “The Bonnio Fish¬
wife ” has been revived as a musical novelty and appropriate
companion for “The American Lady.” At the Queen’s, on
Saturday, Miss Hibbort appeared as Juliet to the Romeo of Mr.
J. B. Howard ; but the tragedy was incompletely performed.

Mr. and Mrs. German Reed’s entortainment at St. George’s
Hall will he varied on Monday next, June 29, by the pro¬
duction of a now first part, entitled “ One too Many,” by Mr.
F. C. Burnand, the music of which has been supplied by Mr.
F. H. Cowen. “Mildred’s Well,” which has proved very
attractive during its short career at St. George’s Hall, will be
withdrawn to-day (Saturday).

Last Saturday afternoon a large audience assembled to hear
the first of a series of educational lectures, which are to be
given weekly at the Polytechnic Institution. The lecture (on
a botanical subject) was delivered b’y Mr. Edward B. Avcling,
who was exceedingly happy in his method of illustration.

At last Wednesday’s meeting of the School Board—
Sir Charles Ilced in the chair—one of tho reports read was
from the industrial schools’ committee, recommending that it
was desirable to continue and to increase the pressure for pay¬
ments from parents in respect to children sent to industrial
schools ; that, as the larger part of the expense of maintaining
children, when sent under section 16, at the instance of the
school board, was borne by the school fund, it wxs advisable
that the board should receive the sums paid by such parents in
aid of the fund ; and that, in order to carry into effect the
above resolutions, it was expedient that the board should have
authority to proceed in such cases before a magistrate, and to
collect from time to time the sums ordered to he paid. The
report was received, and it was arranged to prepare a memorial
on the subject to the Home Secretary, and to arrange, if neces¬

to their late master, Dr. Livingstone, was appreciated, and with
what gratitude everyone regarded the bravery which was
shown, by the whole band 01 his followers when they deter¬
mined to Bave all his writings and to bear his body to the
coast. The president added that a silver medal is beings truck
which will yet further mark the esteem in which the Doctor’s

followers are held by the society.-In the evening the annual

dinner was held, in Willis’s Rooms, under the presidency of Sir
Lartle Frere. The toast of “ Our foreign guests ” was responded
to by M. Leverrier. Sir Samuel Baker, who, as Rede Lecturer at

The war in the northern provinces of Spain between the
opposing armies of Don Carlos and the Provisional Republican
Government of Madrid seems by no means concluded. The
Carlist8 promise to make a fresh stand at the fortified town of
Estella, which was their head-quarters in the former war from
1833 to 1839. It is in Navarre, between Vittoria and Pampe-
luna, or a little further south. Both the Commanders in-Chief,
Marshal Concha, for the Spanish National Government, and the
Basque General Dorregaray for “King Charles ” and his brother,
are now busily collecting their forces. One of the sketches we
have received from a correspondent following the campaign
shows the arrival of the Catalan division at the town of Vit¬
toria. which is a place known, by fame, to all the Duke of
Wellington’s countrymen. It is a pleasant and prosperous town,
the capital of the province of Alava, with 20,000 inhabitants
in ordinary times, and with its share of trade ; but great losses
have been inflicted upon it by this unhappy war. A substantial
temporary fortification has been constructed here, by sur¬
rounding the town with a new wall, built of stone and faced
with gabions or earth-bag* ; the principal streets and squares
of the town are likewise barricaded, with other preparations
against a possible Carlist attack. It was on the 19th inst. that
Marshal Concha arrived at Vittoria from Bilbao, the scene of
his and Marshal Serrano's late victorious operations ; he has
since moved eastward into Navarre. The other sketch
engraved is that of the Carlist bombardment of Hernani, a
Basque village on the road from San Sebastian to Tolosa. This
place, too, was the scene of an action in the former Carlist
war. The British Legion, under Sir De Lacy Evans, was here
repulsed from an attack upon the Carlist position at Santa
Barbara, on March 16, 1837. The disaster seems to have been
due to the misconduct of its Spanish allies.

OLD SEVRES PORCELAIN.

The sale of two or three private collections of old Sevres and
Chelsea porcelain, with some Chinese porcelain, carvings in
crystal, jade, and cornelian, and other ornamental articles, at
Messrs. Christie and

Manson’s rooms, on the
12th inst., was attended
by many purchasers who
had plenty of money.
The prices obtained
were in some instances
of an extraordinary
amouut. So much as
£10,500 was given for
a set of chimney-piece
ornaments in old Sevres
porcelain, the property
of a nobleman, consist¬
ing of a vase and cover,
nearly 15 in. high, and
a pair of jardinieres or
flower-pots, in stands,
8^ in. These very costly
specimens of artistic
pottery, far more pre¬
cious than gold, are
shown in our Illustra¬
tion. The design of
the vase-lid is that of a
masted ship, the arms
of the city of Paris.
The jardinieres are of
the dventail or fan pat-

THK LATE SIR CHARLES FOX, C E.

OLD SEVRES PORCELAIN, SOLD FOR £10,500

THE LATE SIR CHARLES FOX.

The death of this eminent civil engineer, at his house, at
Blackheath, on the 14th inst., has been recorded. Ho was born
at Derby, in 1810, being youngest son of Dr. Francis Fox, M.D.,
of that town. In his youth he was himself intended for the
medical profession. But his talent lay rather in the direction
of mechanical skill. He, therefore, relinquished the study of
medicine, and at the age of nineteen joined Mr. John Ericsson,
then in business at Liverpool, to whom he was articled. He
assisted Mr. Ericsson in the trial of locomotive engines at Rain-
hill, on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, in 1829. Ho
was placed by the late Mr. Robert Stephenson on the London
and Birmingham Railway, then in course of construction—
first at Watford, afterwards in charge of the extension works
from Camden Town to E'iston-square. Upon the completion
of this work he joined the lato Mr. Bramah in the manufac¬
turing firm of Bramah and Fox. Some time afterwards, upon
the death of Mr. Bramah, he became senior partner in tho
firm of Fox, Henderson, and Co., of London, Smethwick,
and Renfrew. Since the year 1857 he had practised in
London as a civil and consulting engineer, with his two
elder sons, who continue tho business under the firm of Sir
Charles Fox and Sons. During the forty-five years of hi3 pro¬
fessional life Sir Charles was engaged in works of magnitude in
all parts of the world. He was the inventor of Fox’s safety-
switch, and contributed to the improvement of the permanent¬
way and fittiDgs of railways, and of all ironwork construction.
His chief work was the building in Hyde Park for the Exhi¬
bition of 1851. The late Sir Joseph Paxton having suggested
the idea of a structure of iron and glass, up to that time never
applied on a large scale, Mr. Charles Fox was enabled, from
his intimate knowledge of ironwork construction, to carry out
the proposal, and with his own hand to work out most of the
details. His firm took the contract for the erection of the
building, and work having commenced towards the end of
September, 1850, the Exhibition was opened by her Majesty in
person on May 1, 1851. In connection with this event Sir C.
Fox, with Sir W. Cubitt and Sir Joseph Paxton, received the
honour of knighthood. His firm afterwards removed the
building from Hyde Park and re-erected it, with many altera¬
tions and additions, for
the Crystal Palace Com¬
pany at Sydenham, Sir
Charles had bcenamem-
ber of the Institute of
Civil Engineers since
1838. He was also for
several years a member
of the Council of the In¬
stitution of Mechanical
Engineers. The Portrait

Messrs. EJliott ana Fry.

is ascribed to this exquisite work of art.

THE ASCOT PRIZE GOLD PLATE.

The Ascot Cup of this year was a gold vase designed and
modelled by Mr. W. F. Spencer, and manufactured by Messrs.
R. and S. Garrard and Co., of the Haymarket. Its design is in
the cinque-cento or sixteenth-century Italian style. The bas-
relief sculptures, on. one side, represent the first incident in the
history of the English Wars of the Roses. The implacable
rival party chiefs, Richard Plantagenet, Duke of York, and
John Beaufort, Earl or Duke of Somerset, are met, with their
adherents, in the Temple-gardens. They pluck each a rose, the
white rose for York, the red one for the champion of Lancaster,
to serve as the badge and token of their opposing claims. This
is done in scene iv. act ii. of Shakspeare’s King Henry VI.,”
part i. The sculpture on the other side of the vase displays
the fierce battle of Bosworth, and King Richard III. on his
war-horse, fighting with desperate fury, which could not avert
his deserved fate on that memorable day. The vase is sur¬
mounted by a group which represents Lord Stanley crowning
Henry Tudor, Earl of Richmond, as King Henry VII. The
shields bear the heraldic arms of the great noblemen engaged
in those wars, and the handles are figures personifying the
ravages of Fire and Sword. The gold plate given by her
Majesty the Queen for one of the Ascot prizes was simply a
large flagon, in the style of Queen Anne’s time. This, too, was
manufactured by Messrs. Garrard. The Royal Hunt Cup
was designed by Signor Monti, and manufactured by Messrs.
Hancock and Co., of Bruton-street. It was a table centre-

E iece, representing the stem of a tree, surrounded by a stag, a
unter, and a hound, with the motto, “Neighbours, but not
friends.’*

Dean Stanley presided, last Saturday, at the prize distribu¬
tion at the Commercial Travellers’ Schools. In his observations
to the children he cautioned them not to let tho literary rubbish
which was in fashion drive them away from good reading like
“ Pilgrim’s Progress.” He had also a friendly word to say for
Mungo Park and Dr. Livingstone’s two Nassick boys, who
travelled for nine months through the desert with his dead
body.

A meeting of the Bengal Famine Relief Committee was
held on Monday, at the Mansion House — the Lord Mayor in the
chair—when the discussion turned on the advisability of appeal-
ing for further funds. The affirmative view was maintained by
Lord Lawrence, Sir G. Campbell, and Sir W. Muir, all of whom
argued that there was a wide field in India for charitable relief.
Two letters detailing the distress which prevailed in the various
districts were read. The fund amounts to £117,023 at present,
£10,000 of which it was agreed should be forwarded to Calcutta
forthwith.

LAW AND POLICE.

Judgment was given, on Tuesday, by Sir
Montagu Smith, in the Judicial Committee of
the Privy Council, concerning a question of
attorney and client, which had been raised in
fhe case of a Gibraltar advocate who had pur¬
chased some property of a Spanish lady shortly
before she died. It was held that a fair price
had been given, and the Conrfc affirmed the
bona fides of the purchase, ordering both sides
to pay their costs.

In the Court of Chancery, Lord Justice
James has pronounced the liquidation pro¬
ceedings in re Burrs and Company to be tainted
with fraud. He ordered an immediate adju¬
dication, a petition to that effect having been
presented by the Fore-street Warehouse Com¬
pany.

Sir J. Bacon, sitting as Chief Judge in
Bankruptcy, has confirmed an order of the
Warwickshire County Court annulling au ad¬
judication which had been granted on a debt
not actually due. The case was that of
Thomas Collins, a Birmingham jeweller. In
the lirst instance Collins filed a petition for
liquidation ; and, no action haviug~becn taken
by the creditors, one of them petitioned for an
adjudication. Lastly, an execution creditor
came in, and had the adjudication annulled
on the ground stated.

A romantic story was told by a Polish Count
in the Court of Queen’s Bench last week. He
professed to have hired himself to Mr. Lloyd
as a substitute in the Papal Guards, and his
remuneration was to be £2500 for two yews’
service. He sue 1 Mr. Lloyd for the money,
and to prove that he ha l earned it ho gave a
doleful account of the disappoint meats and
deprivations he had eudurod among the
defenders of Home. His first grievance was
that the gentleman who recruited him did
not tell him he was to fight for the Pope ; he
thought they wanted him for a Garibaldian.
On reaching Rome he had to join the Zouave3,
and his two years’ experience of them was not
happy. Their pay, he said, was threehalfpsnee
a day (always in ^rrear) and their rations con¬
tained more flits than anything else. The
Polish Count admitted having received moneys
from the defendant since his return, amounting
altogether to £148. Mr. Lloyd’s answer to the
claim wis a point-blank denial of the plaintiff's
story. Far from having required a substitute,
Mr. Ll>yd served six months in the same regi¬
ment with the Count. He had not even re¬
cruited him, for when the Count was sent to
him by his tailor he introduced him to the
secretary of the Papal Defence Fund, Captain
Gordon. The moneys he had paid the plaintiff
were entirely out of charity. On one occasion,
for instance, he gave him a pound to go to the
pantomime and have a pleasant Christmas. The
jury having intimated that they were all agreed
in favour of the defendant, a verdict was given
to that effect.

In the Court of Queen’s Bench, (Dublin,
Miss Onnan, daughter of a fanner in Meath,
has obtained £3CK) damages against Mr. Bellow
for breach of promise of marriage.

A severe lesson to wife-beaters was taught
on Monday by the Worship-street police magis¬
trate, who sentenced a man convicted of having
brutally ill-used his wife to six months’ im¬
prisonment, with hard labour. On the ex¬
piration of that term defendant is to find sure¬
ties for his good behaviour during another six

months.-For having cruelly tortured a

horse in Hyde Park, James Boston, a groom
in the service of the Earl of Home, was, on
Monday, sentenced at Marlborough-street to
month’s imprisonment, with hard labour.

At Southwark Police Court furious driving
is no longer to be regarded as a venial offence,
punishable by fine. William Ward, a master
carman, charged, on Wednesday, with driving
a cart through the Borough to the dangor of the
lieges, was surprised at receiving a sentence of
a month’s hard labour.

An inquest has been held in .Salford on the
body of a man who, according to the evidence
of his widow, had not been sober a single day
durmg the last twelve months, and who was so
habituated to spirits and beer as to be unable
to take any solid food whatever.

For forging the signature of Mr. P. Darcoy.
a brewer, and by that means obtaining £-100
from the Royal Bank, a young man named
Mackey was yesterday week, at Dublin, sen¬
tenced to five years’ penal servitude.-Victor

Cohen, for forging bills of exchange and the
signatures of Dublin merchants, by which he
obtained about £100, was sentenced to seven
years penal servitude.

At Trim Quarter Sessions, just concluded
there was not a single criminal case, aud at
Aewtownbutler there were but three, of a
trifling character. At Thurles, in Tipperary,
there were but two cases of common assault to
go before the jury.

ELECTION ITEMS.

As in the last Parliament, the representation
of North Durham is again divided. The de¬
claration of the poll on Saturday gave Mr.
Charles Mark Palmer, one of the Liberal can¬
didates, 425G votes ; Sir George Elliot, who
stood in the Conservative interest, 4254 ; and
Mr. Isaac Lowthian Bell, 4104. Mr. Bell,
therefore, loses the seat which was won by the
Liberals in this division at the general election.

Lord Coleridge, on Monday, delivered judg¬
ment on Mr. Drinkwater’s claim to the scat
at Launceston, forfeited by Colonel Deakin.
He held that, though the votes objected to
were invalid for the purpose of seating the
candidate who received them, they were not
invalid in the sense of being thrown away and
causing another person to be seated. Mr.
Drinkwater’8 claim was, therefore, disallowed,

and there will be another election.-On

Tuesday his Lordship gave judgment on the
questions reserved at the Petersfield and Boston
election trials. In the former he decided that
an election judge had no power to go behind
the register and inquire into the qualification
of pei sous placed upon it, also that the recent
of gifts from a local bequest did not constitute
a disqualification contemplated by the Act.
In consequence of this decision. Captain
Joliffe retains the seat. The question reserved
on the Boston petition had referenco to Mr
Parry’8 distribution of coals. The Court held
that Mr. Justice Grove was justified in striking
out the votes of coal-receivers, and giving a
majority to Mr. Malcolm—the result being that
Mr. Malcolm takes the seat occupied by Mr.
Parry.

Sir Ivor Guest, Bart., lias filed in the Court
of Common Pleas a petition in which he claims
the seat for Poole. The Hon. Evelyn Ashley
was declared returned by a majority of nine
votes.

Mr. J. D. Lewis, who represented Devon-
port in the last Parliament, and at the recent
election for tho city of Oxford, on the eleva¬
tion of the Right Hon. W. E. Cardwell to the
Peerage, contested tho city with Mr. A. W.
Hall, when he was defeated by 1G2 % r otes, was,
on Monday evening, presented in the Com
Exchange, Oxford, with a handsome illuminated
addiess and a magnificent piece of silver, the
whole costing about £150, which had been col¬
lected in small subscriptions from the working
classes of tho city. Mr. Lewis, in returning
thanks, observed that there never was a period
in liis life when he felt more confident of the
assurance of the ultimate triumph of the
Liberal party, and concluded by expressing his
belief that Conservatism had not struck a deep
root in the soil.

TO

The thunderstorm which prevailed in London
on U ednesdav extended over a considerable
portion of the country, doing considerable
damage. At Finchley a plasterer named Jack-
son, while at work in Trove Lodge, Church-
end, was struck by lightniug, but it is hoped
he wdl recover. Mrs. Whyte, wife of a carter,
while sitting by the fireside in her house at
Mossymouth Toll, about five miles from Elgin
was struck dead by a flash of lightning, which
entered the house by tho chimney. A child in
a cradle in the middle of tho floor escaped in*
jbffy» though tho cradle was broken to pieces,
u • ^ rec Church of Braco or Ardoch, in Perth¬
shire, was struck by lightning and rendered a
f^tcr part of the steeple

£h r °ugh the roof. At Coupar Angus,
r ilesliire, a man was killed by lightning.

PREVENTION OF CRUELTY
ANIMALS.

On Sunday evening the Bishop of Manchester
addressed at St. Paul’s Cathedral the delegates
to the Congres of Societies for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animate, which has been hold
in London, a large number of other persons
being present. Taking his text from the pro¬
phecy of Isaiah, “ That a time would come
when the wolf should lie down with the lamb,”
the Bishop defended Christianity from the
charge that as a rule of life it left almost un¬
touched man's duty to the lower animals, and
in an eloquent passage strongly condemned
polo, pigeon-shooting, and other sports as being
as little in consonance with the temper of
Christianity as gladiatorial contests at Rome
or bull* fights in Seville.

At the jubilee meeting, on Monday, the
cliaiiman (Lord Harrow by) announced that
the following letter had been received from
Sir Thomas Biddulph on the part of the Queen
“My dear Lord,—The Queen has commanded
me to address you, as President of the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, on
the occasion of the assembly in this country
of the foreign delegates connected with your
association aud of the jubilee of the society,
to request you to give expression publicly to
her Majesty’s w T arm interest in the success of
the efforts which are being made at home aud
abroad for the purpose of diminishing tho
cruelties practised on dumb animals. The
Queen hears and reads with horror of the suf¬
ferings w'hich the brute creation often undergo
from the thoughtlessness of the ignorant, and
she fears also sometimes from experiments in
tho pursuit of science. For the removal of
the former the Queen trusts much to the pro¬
gress of education, and in regard to the pur¬
suit of science she hopes that the entire advan¬
tage of those anaesthetic discoveries from which
man has derived so much benefit himself in
the alleviation of suffering may be fully ex¬
tended to the lower animals. Her Majesty
rejoices that the society aw'akens the interest
of the young bv the presentation of prizes for
essays connected with the subject, and hears
with gratification that her son and daughter-in-
law have shown their interest by distributing
the prizes. Her Majesty begs to announce a
donation of £100 to the funds of tho society ”

Ai ter the readingof this letter the organ plaved
4 God Save the Queen.” The pupils towhom
prizes were to be presented were then intro¬
duced, and each received a handsomely bound
book and certificate from the hands of the
Duchess of Edinburgh. Some of the prize-
takers were only eight years old, others had
reached the age of tw enty.

Another sitting of the congress took nlnee
on Tuesday, in the hall of the Society of Arts
and brought the session to a close. The prac¬
tice of vivisection for scientific purposes, was
strongly reprobated, when not umfer proper
license; and a communication from Baroness

Burdett-Coutts on this subject was read, and
elicited general expressions of agreement, a
resolution being passed unanimously in favour
of legal interference.

N ext year’s congress will assemble at Frank¬
fort* on- the* M nine.

An agreement has been entered into between
the Earl of Limerick and the Corporation of
Limerick for the leasing of Perry-square for
500 years, in order to have it converted into a
people’s park.

On Wednesday the first series of the Sum¬
mer Manoeuvres was practically brought to a
close by a great field-day, in which the two
divisions tried conclusions against each other
on a spot where, in the war between Charles I.
and his Parliament, Cavaliers and Roundheads
fought a outrance.

Mr. Plimsoll, M.P., presided, on Monday, at
a public meeting in the Eastern Hall, Litne-
house, in connection with the London Seamen’s
Mutual Protection Society, aud explained the
provisions of his bill on the subject of un-
seaworthy ships. A resolution was unani¬
mously adopted in accordance with the spirit

and purpose of that measure.-On Tuesday

Lord Shaftesbury presided at a public meeting
in St. George’s Hall, called by the ladies’ com¬
mittee of the Plimsoll Seamente Fund. Resolu¬
tions were adopted urging the necessity of
liaving a temporary bill passed this Session to
prevent the sacrifice of life w’hich might other¬
wise ensue during the coming w inter.-The

executive committee of the Ironfounders
Society, in acknowledgment of Mr. PlimsoU’s
efforts on behalf of the seamen, have pre¬
sented him with an illuminated address and
£4C6, being the product of a levy on the
members of the society, to assist Mr. Plimsoll
in his efforts.

Several meetings for charitable purposes
were held on Wednesday. A fete de bien-
faisanee in aid of the Fronch Charitable Insti¬
tution, at No. 10, Leicester-place, was given at
the French Embassy, under the patronage of
the Princess of Wades. Much of the success
which attended the fete w r as due to the kindly
intcicst taken in the charities by tho Due and
Duchesse de la Rochefoucauld-Bisaccia, whose
indefatigablo exertions in this excellent cause
were supplemented by the generous help ren¬
dered by a large number of ladies and gentle¬
men.-The twenty-second anniversary of the

City Orthopedic Hospital, Hatton-garden, was
celel rated by a dinner at the London Tavern.
The tables were well filled—the chair being
occupied by Captain O. T. Richie, M.P. The
subscription list amounted to £1000, including
an anonymous donation of £1000from “ C.O. H. ”

-At the annual meeting of the governors

of the Royal Agricultural Benevolent Insti¬
tution for the relief of decayed farmers,
their widows and orphan children, held at
Willis’s Rooms—Mr. J. J. Mechi in the chair—

some pensioners were elected.-The annual

general meeting of the Railway Benevolont
Institution w T as held at the Railway Clearing-
House, Seymour-street, Euston-square — Mr.
John Noble, deputy manager of the Midland
Railway, occupying the chair. Mr. Mills, the
secretary, read the report, which congratulated
the members that the funds were sufficient
to enable the committee to admit all the ap¬
plicants for annuities and the orphans for
school benefits w'ithout any ballot, and tho
meeting would therefore be asked to sanction
the appointment to annuities of one member
and seventeen widows, and of nine children to

school benefits.-A new school-building,

erected on Saffron-liill by tho Shoeblack Society
(Central), was opened by the Earl of Shaftes¬
bury. The contract for the building was for
£3085, which, however, with extras, had
reached £.3800. About £1500 of the boys’
earnings had been saved up, and, together
with £1GS0, had been applied to the buildings,
which contained a coffee-room, school-room,
and offices for one hundred boys, a dormitory
for thirty, and apartments for the superin¬
tendent and his family. Among the speakers
were Mr. MacGregor, Mr. Tabrum, the Rev.
Mr. Cadraau, Sir VVilfred Lawson, M.P.. and

SKETCHES IN THE CLERKENWELL HOUSE OF CORRECTION.

The prisons of London
and Middlesex have af¬
forded, in their arrange¬
ments for the safe custody
and salutary punishment
of offenders, subjects of
illustration within the
past twelvemonth. The
metropolitan county of
Middlesex, not including
the City of London, has
its House of Detention
for untried prisoners, in
St. James’s-walk, north
of Clerkeiiwell-green. It
has two Gaols, or Houses
of Correction, for con¬
victed criminals. The one
for male prisoners is in
Coldbath-fields, which is
also in Clerkenwcll, but a
little east of Gray’s-inn-
laue, nearly opposite the
end of Guilford-street.

It consists of several ex¬
tensive ranges of build¬
ings, with courts and
yards, inclosed by a
high wall, and occupy¬
ing a square of about
nine acres. Some descrip¬
tion of this prison has
been given in our J ournal.

It has accommodation for
nearly 2000 men and boys,
sentenced to different
terms of imprisonment,
from one week, with or
without hard labour, to
two years’ penal servi¬
tude. The average daily
number in custody is
about 1700, and the num¬
ber admitted during the
year is from 12,000 to
13,000, of whom 1000 are

juveniles. First-class hard labour signifies pacing the steps
of the treadwheel, during seven hours of the day, but
with intervals of rest, fifteen minutes at every quarter
of an hour, which reduces the actual work to three
hours and a half. The man sits down and waits his
quarter of an hour, while another man takes his place on
the wheel. The steps, which arc eight inches high, descend
slowly to meet the men’s feet; there are twenty-four steps on
the circumference of the wheel, and it goes round twice in a
minute. This labour is scarcely felt by a Healthy person in the
first hour, hut it tells upon the strength in the course of
the day. The power of the machine is used for grinding

THE BOYS' PONY.

corn and pumping water. The wheel, or rather cylinder,
is erected along the side of a long gallery, in which
6S4 prisoners are collected to work. The lower steps only
are exposed to view, the rest of the machine is concealed
by wooden boards. While 342 prisoners, half the number
assembled, mount the steps at once, each screened by a par¬
tition from his right-hand and left-hand neighbours, the other
342 sit quietly below. They are not allowed to speak to
each other. Such is first-class hard labour at Coldbath-fields.
The hard labour of second-class misdemeanants consists of
oakum-pioking, mat and basket making, shoemaking, tailor¬
ing, and other simple trades, besides washing, cleaning

the place, and doing
various services in the
prison. When a prisoner
is admitted to this House
of Correction, he ex¬
changes the name he has
disgraced for a number,
by which his place in
the establishment is
known ; there is, in the
visiting ward, a large
frame of movable brass
and zinc tablets, with
figures and letters, show¬
ing at a glance the cell
to which any particular
man or boy is consigned.
The inmates are weighed
at their entrance to the
prison, under tl super¬
vision of a wart jr; and
this is the scene repre¬
sented in one of our ILIub-
trations. The other sub¬
ject delineated is of an
unpleasant character; the
block, facetiously called
“the pony,” upon which
naughty boys arc horsed
for a birching. There is
also a triangle for tying up
older persons who are to
be Hogged for wilful mis¬
conduct while in prison.
But there are not more
than about thirty whip¬
pings in the year; and what
is that among 13,000
culprits, in and out of the
prison ? Solitary confine¬
ment, which they do not
like, though converse is
always forbidden, may in
some cases be inflicted for
prison offences. The or¬
dinary means, however, of
enforcing discipline is by stopping one or two articles of diet.
Three loaves of brown bread, each loaf 6jj oz., are supplied
daily to every man, with gruel or soup, or molasses, at stated
times, on different days of the week. The average weekly
cost of food is, for each prisoner, 2s. 9Jd. ; but the whole cost
of each prisoner, after reckoning the assumed value of his
labour, is at the rate of £23 5s. 8a. a year. The total expendi¬
ture of the Coldbath-fields establishment is nearly £40,000,
including the salaries and wages of some 200 officers, warders,
and servants. A chapel, with Protestant and Roman Catholic
services of Divine worship, and a school-room, with teachers,
are provided for the instruction of the prisoners.

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS

J UNE 27, 1874

MUSICAL PUBLICATIONS.

Messrs. Boosey and Co. have just issued several songs that
will doubtless find wide acceptance among drawing-room
singers. “ The Boatman's Song”—words by J. Oxenford, music
by J. Blumenthal—is a spirited declamatory piece, suitable for
mezzo-soprano or baritone, for which latter class of voice it was
written, having been expressly composed for Mr. Santley.
‘‘Sleep, my love, sleep,” by Mr. Arthur Sullivan, requires a
similar vocal range. This—which was written for. Madame
Patey—is an expressive melody, affording good scope for can-
tabile style. In “One long thought of you ”—a setting of words
by Moore—Mr. Santley appears as composer. This song con¬
sists mainly of a flowing and agreeable melody, interspersed
with recitative passages that afford good effects of contrast. It
will suit either a high baritone or a soprano or mezzo-soprano
of moderate compass. Mr. J. L. Molloy excels in ballads of
the piquant and characteristic class, a good specimen of which
is that entitled “ Polly,” in which a sailor is supposed to extol
his pilot-boat. Of the “ Spanish Boat-Song,” written and com¬
posed by Hamilton Aide, it will suffice to say that it has been
sung with success in his drama of “ Philip.”

Balfo’s posthumous opera, “H Talismano,” has just been
published by Messrs. Duff and Stewart, in a handsome folio
edition. Prefixed to the music are a portrait and memoir of
Balfe, and an outline of the libretto. Having spoken of the
composition in our notice of its production at Her Majesty’s
Opera, we need now only record its publication in a complete
state, the favourite pieces being also issued in a detached
shape.

Messrs. Duff and Stewart are active caterers for pianists and
vocalists. Among the vocal music lately published by them
are several songs of merit. “The British Oak,” by the late
Chevalier Neukomm, is a characteristic national song, in the
declamatory style in which that composer excelled. Mr. Henry
Gadsby—favourably known by several orchestral works, per¬
formed at the Crystal Palace concerts—has produced a very
expressive song to some sentimental lines commencing, “ Those
little words, Good-bye;” another of similar merit being “ The
Token,” by Mr. ,J. E. Richardson, inscribed to Mr. Sims
Reeves, for whom it was expressly composed. Other vocal
pieces worthy of mention are Herr Carl Oberthur’s agreeable
song, “My Fairest Love” (“Liebe’s Traum”) with English
and German words; Mr. E. Land’s “My guardian never sleeps,”
a smooth and pleasing melody ; and Mr. J. L. Hatton’s “The
Boy and the Brook, a pretty vocal theme, with a well-con¬
trasted accompaniment.

Some pianoforte pieces, also published by Messrs. Duff and
Stewart, will be pleasing to pupils and useful to teachers.
“The Blue Bells of Scotland” has been arranged, with some
very effective variations, by Mr. J. G. Dent, who has also pro¬
duced a brilliant and sparkling “ polka de salon ” entitled “ La
Belle-vue.” “ Bellini’s Last Thoughts ” is the name of a little
fantasia by Dr. Rimbault, in which some of the themes from
“ Beatrice di Tenda” (the final work of the composer of “ La
Sonnambula ”) are formed into a pianoforte piece calculated to
interest young pupils. “She Wore a Wreath of Roses ” is an
adaptation, by Mr. W. Smallwood, of Knight’s popular ballad
in an easy form, with directions for the fingering of the loading
passages. Mr. J. T. Trekell has made some skilful arrange¬
ments of popular themes treated in brilliant fautasia style.
Among these are “Sound the Loud Timbrel,” “ Adeste
Fideles,” “The Russian Boat-Song,’’and the “National Russian
Hymn.”

“ Romance sans Paroles” (published by Messrs. Enoch and
Son) is the title of a very elegant pianoforte piece by Mdlle.
Belval, who has recently achieved special success as a prima
donna at the Pans Grand Opera. This young lady is a
daughter of the eminent basso M. Belval, and her musical edu¬
cation has been of a far wider kind than that of most singers.
Among her other acquirements, she is an accomplished pianist,
and the piece now referred to indicates not only refined taste
m composition, but also the possession of high executive powers,
the many graceful and elaborate passages being written with a
knowledge of the instrument winch could scarcely be possessed
by any but a skilled executant.

Messrs, Novello, Ewer and Co. have just brought out a valu*
able series of the beautiful masses of Franz Schubert, published
in that cheap and portable form (large octavo) which is now so
much m vogue. These masses may compare with the best of
those of Haydn and Mozart, to some of which, indeed, they are
perhapssnperior. The works issued are Numbers 1 (in Fl 2 fin O)

two editions, one with the original Latin words, the other with
an English text adapted by the Rev. J. Troutbeck, in which
shape they are entitled “ Communion-Services,” and are fitted
for U 8<2 in Protestant worship.

Messrs. Novello, Ewer, and Co. have also brought out, in

NEW BOOKS.

Far from a favourable opinion of the British Army, as regards
morality, refinement, or anything higher than brutal qualities,
will be derived by the majority of readers from the two volumes
entitled Reminiscences of a Soldier, by Colonel W. K. Stuart,
0.B., late 86fch Regiment (Hurst and Blackett). The persons
and scenes described by the gallant author are, of course, ex¬
ceptional ; for little or no interest attaches to the great bulk of
the people who, whether they be military or civil, fulfil a tamo
career of ordinary duty and strict propriety. To become famous
or notorious, to do or say anything worthy of being recorded in
a book and likely to arrest the attention of readers, it is neces¬
sary to achieve distinction and to win either a good or a bad
pre eminence ; and decidedly bad, for the most part, is the pre¬
eminence won by the persons whose deeds or sayings are pub¬
lished abroad in the volumes under consideration. The picture
presented of the British Army, whether officers or soldiers sit
ror the portraits, is enough to make one rend one’s clothes
with grief, horror, astonishment, and indignation, and
yet, at the same time, to acknowledge, admire, and
feel grateful for the fundamental soundness which
enabled English officers and soldiers, in spite of the
prevailing rottenness, to uphold their discipline and maintain
their warlike renown. That whole regiments were not in a
chronic state of mutiny is almost incomprehensible, when we
read of the treatment to which the privates were liable at the
savage or delirious caprice of some tigerish or besotted com¬
manding officer. As we turn over the pages we seem to be
wandering through the regions of a pandemonium, where the
prominent personages, of whatever rank, are drunken, ignorant,
vicious, quarrelsome, foul-mouthed, blasphemous madmen.
Some of the anecdotes related are broad even to coarseness;
oaths abound with a fruitfulness beyond that of blackberries ;
the fun, when there is any, has a savour of horse-play ; and the
wit and humour, which are almost invariably garnished with
bad language (“ a way they have ” or had “ in the Army ”), are,
with a few exceptions, after the now almost obsolete style of
“Roderick Random.” And it is hardly necessary to say
that duels and duelling come in for quite a sufficient share
of notice. Let it not be supposed that any reflection is
intended to be cast upon the gallant author ; on the con¬
trary, he is to be thanked for the indubitably truthful
account, shocking as it may be, which his long service
eminently qualified him to give of military life as it was some
years ago. We are supposed to have changed all that; and,
superficial and specious as the change may be in many respects,
it is quite certain that things, have in several material points
been altered for the better. Barracks may still be a sink of
iniquity for all that appeal's on the exterior to the contrary ;
but it is impossible that either officers or soldiers can be quite
so brutal, and unenlightened, and illiterate as they appear to
have been, and that such sickening cases of corporal punish¬
ment and such gross cases of inefficient court-martial as the
gallant author has vouched for could nowadays recur. Besides,
as has already been suggested, he has, no doubt, concerned
himself with the exceptions and not the rule; otherwise it
would be incredible that our military fabric could have held
together. The portions of the second volume which relate to
service in India differ in kind from the main contents of the
two volumes, and have their own special attractive and in¬
structive qualities ; and nothing can be more admirable than
the manly frankness with which the gallant author exposes his
own occasional deviations from perfect heroism, or than the
good sense and kin dliness with which he pleads the cause of his
friend, as we are quite sure he would allow ub to say, the
private soldier.

A lack of earnest intention seems to be traceable in what
an anonymous author has written under the title of Some Time
in Ireland ; a Recollection (Henry S. King and Co.); and,
though the cause of mere amusement may have been promoted
rather than hindered thereby, those who are in search of solid
information and wish to make a serious study of Irish social life
are likely to be disappointed, wearied, and irritated. The
anonymous author, who boasts to belong to the gentler sex,
very truly observes that “ writers professing to describe social
and family life in Ireland have mostly selected their types from
roystering squires or ruined country gentlemen ; ” whereas she
professes to depict, from the vivid recollections of her earlier
years and from her later experience, “views, feelings, habits,
and principles, more really and truly characteristic of the

f entiy of Ireland.” If that be so, and if sneuess have crowned
er efforts, her readers will very probably come to the conclusion
that, so far as social life is concerned, ther^. is or was a very
strong resemblance between the ruined and the unruined
gentry. At least, there is the same general aspect of mingled
extravagance and abject penuriousness—the same harum-
scarum condition of things—the same happy-go-lucky style of
management. But then she has entered into more than usual
r ’ “ d ,sketches she has given of the interior economy
of that household m which she, at the commencement of her
autobiographical reminiscences, filled tho unenviable post of a
little girl, the youngest of several children, have a certain charm
of novelty ; and, if they do not evince much sisterly affoction,
are hit o» with some humour, and bear witness to a remarkably
precocious habit of observation and taste for scandal. An
Irish election and its consequences-including, of course, an
* d ! r I elll °g* bou se—give the author an opportunity
of exhibiting considerable descriptive powers. The rather lame
conclusion of the whole record forcibly suggests that want of
senous intention which has already been alluded to, and which
faintly haunts one all through the natres r for

more rather than less. ^The

third volume, in which the pictorial efforts of M. de
Neuville are as conspicuous as heretofore, begins with the
accession of Francis I. and stops at the assassination
of Henry IV.—a period full of memorable incidents
military, political, religious, and literary; from the cam¬
paign m which the heroic Bayard fell and the subsequent
battle, in which “all was lost save honour,” to the famous
engagement at Ivry, when the road to honour and victory was
indicated by the “ white plume of Navarre.” It may be men¬
tioned, by the way, that M. Guizot does not fail to give the
text of the letter which relegates the celebrated saying about
“ all is lost save honour ” not exactly to the unclean region to
which the remark of Cambronne has been consigned, but to one
considerably below the sublime. The chivalrous Francis in
fact, did not foigefc to mention, as if it were of equal import¬
ance, that he had saved his “ bacon ” as well as his honour/

Particular attention should be paid to the title of Swiss
A llmends and a Walk to see them, by F. Barham Zincke, Vicar
of Wberstead (Smith, Elder, and Co.), else readers may sup-
pose that they are never coming to the “Swiss AUmends."
In fact, a walk has to be taken through fifteen chap-
ters and 296 pages out of 362 before we arrive at what
we have come out to see. And many an expression of im-

E atienee may rise to the lips as the eye glances through the
eadings of the chapters, and encounters the well-known
names of Berne, Zurich, Interlaken, the Brlinig, Samen Aln-
nach, Altorf, St. Gothard, Airolo, Faido, Beilin zona, Locarno
the Rigi Kuhn, Lucerne, and other nlaces which every cockney
knows all about. But it will be well to curb impatience; for
the author is not as other men are, and does not observe things
or places in the common way or from the common point of
view. His profession, and the peculiar bent of his mind, which
is practical, inquisitive in a good sense, reflective, and didactic,
lead him to make unusual investigations, to study some of the
less superficially striking parts of manysided nature, and to
communicate to others impressions of which they would not by
themselves have been susceptible. Ho is of no account—on

the present occasion, whatever he may be on other occasions_

at picturesque description ; it is doubtful whether his book
would yield a single sentence which, as a piece of writing, dc-
serves to be noticed ; his style is, for the most part, mo jo
jejune than that of the ordinary guide-book ; he jots down in¬
numerable nothings bf no interest to any earthly creature;
but, with all this, he has facts to state and hints to give which
ma^ invest with fresh interest even a beaten path. As to the
Swiss Allmends, it may be as well to predicate that “ allmtnd
means land which is held and used, as the word itself indicates,
in common,” and then to leave readers to gather up from Mr.
Ziucke’s pages the interesting information he was at no little
pains to collect. It may be added that what is admitted by
the author to be “a really good map,” furnished by Messrs.
Keith Johnston, will be found in the volume’s pocket.

A very modest, and indeed diffident, preface is sometimes
suggestive of the pride that apes humility; but in the case of
)\ inter at the Italian Lakes (Sampson Low and Co.) the writer,
a lady whose name does not appear, must be considered to have
written her apologetic preface under the influence of just ap¬
preciation, unadulterated by any sort of mock sentiment. At
any rate, she has assigned to her own book exactly the value
that would be assigned to it by most impartial persons. It is
founded upon a journal originally intended for the amusement
of her companions ; and, if it ])roducod the desired effect, the
companions, whatever may be thought of their capacity for
being amused, had nothing to complain of. And amongst the
public there may he & larger number than one would suppose of
happy beings made in the likeness of the companions, ft is im¬
possible, however, to help participating in the amiable writer’s
own fear “that there are only two classes of persons to whom
these pages can afford any interest”—to wit, those who, assisted
by the magic of memory, “may feel a certain pleasure even in
names and feeble outlines,” ana those who, in search of a par¬
ticular sort of climate, “may, perhaps, gather a few hints”
from the writer’s own experience. The ordinary reader’s
heart is likely to grow heavy at the outset, when it appears
that the winter alluded to was so long ago as 1869, that the
Italian lakes commence with “ the old clock of Dover Castle,”
and that progress is delayed by “a day in the galleries of
Munich.” To fully enjoy the book the reader should be of the
fe m in in e gender, inclined to dwell upon petty details, apt to
conjoin religion with cosiness, so highly Protestant as to b*
made “ very sad ” at the sight of a book of prayer® belonging
to a Roman Catholic, liable to be startled at the apparition or
ice and snow in the winter, impressed with the importance of
a chilblain to the British Constitution, prone to indulge in
scriptural quotations, and warranted to see the fun of describing
fellow-travellers, whose initials only are given, as “wandering
letters of the alphabet. ” And, after all, when one conies to
think, there should be many a reader of the kind ; so that tho
book may meet with a success which the modest candour, if
not the descriptive power, or the adventurous spirit, or the
wit or the humour, or the theological liberality of tho writer
certainly deserves. It were unpardonable not to give as
much^ publicity as possible to a little anecdote which is
a deliciously ingenuous and unconscious illustration of the
moral blindness pointed out in the lesson of the mote
and the beam. “ At Alessandria,” says the amiable lady,

“ I got some dreadfully cross looks from a priest, whose small
leather bag I unfortunately took up instead of my own. I am
sure the suspicious creature thought I was a thief. . , . I
should have liked to tell him to cultivate that ‘charity which
thinketh no evil.’ I wonder what there was in the ba g—some
deep plot perhaps. ”

“particular weakness ” of its race, was originally made known
to fame, it would appear, by Mr. Frank Buekland. It is pos¬
sible that a reader or two may be rendered a little uncom¬
fortable sometimes by the author’s reflections, speculations, and
small bits of rhapsody ; but in this world we must have tribu¬
lation. As for the incredulous, let them read the last chapter
and rend their clothes.

A few “ heliotype reproductions of drawings by officers of
the Royal Artillery” give some additional interest to the other¬
wise sufficiently interesting Recollections of Sir George B.
L' Estrange > late of the 31st Regiment, and afterwards in the
Scots Fusilier Guards (Sampson Low and Co.). The recollec¬
tions proper do not occupy more than 201 out of 288 pages.
There are, first of all, eight pages of preface ; then fifteen of
introduction ; and, at the end, about sixty-four of appendix.
The preface tells how* the gallant author was led to jot down
the recollections of his life, and waB interrupted by most
melancholy events in the very midst of his task. The intro¬
duction gives some information about Sir Roger L’Estrangc,
Knight, and contains some commendatory remarks touching
public schools in general and Westminster in particular. The
appendix is devoted to a short but lively and striking memoir
of the late Major Edmund L’Estrange, 71st Highland Light
Infantry; to an obituary announcement of the death of
Lieutenant*Colonel A. R. L’Estrange, author of that memoir ;
and to some “favourable notices” of Lieutenant-Colonel
George Guy Carleton L’Estrange. Sir George, whose re¬
collections give a title to the volume, was a young officer of
fifteen at the date from which he commences his tale of
reminiscences ; and at that early age began his military career
by bringing up from Portsmouth to Ashford in Kent, for pre¬
liminary drill, a hundred wild Irish volunteers. There is a
portrait of him as he rode at their head and played, not at all
well, upon the flute certain Irish tunes, to which he found they
stepped along cheerily and obediently. How he hit upon that
curious expedient does not appear ; but it was highly success¬
ful. Before long, however, he and his volunteers were safely
embarked for the Peninsula ; and from that moment he enters
upon so attractive a course of recollections that, if he could
have made it twice as long, he would probably have better
pleased the majority of his readers. The style of writing is
quite good enough, and so simple and unpretentious that it
makes one’s heart warm towards the gallant veteran who
employs it, and who cannot be said to belong to those of whom
it would be just to quote : “ old men forget, yet all shall be
forgot but they ’ll remember with advantages the deeds they
did ” in the Peninsula.

From the preface, which is dated January, 1873, it would
appear as if neglect (most surely unintentional, however) had
been the fate of A Month in Switzerland, by F. Barham Zincke
(Smith, Elder, and Co.). One comfort is that the subject is
one of annually recurring interest. It would, at the first
blush, strike most people as an absurdity to suppose that any¬
body could, at the present day, have anything fresh to say, or
worth saving, about Switzerland, after only a few weeks’
sojourn ; but a perusal of the volume will probably lead to a
change of opinion. The author does not wear a common kind
of spectacles or confine himself to the same sort and the same
aspect of things as the ordinaiy tourist would be disposed to
notice ; though the remarks he makes about the aggravatingly
monotonous character of Swiss hotels, or, at any rate, of their
interior economy, must have suggested themselves to many
a visitor. The author, however, was not unfamilia r with
Switzerland, even before he went thither with his wife and his
stepson for this particular “ month and that fact exonerates
him from a charge of having picked up an impossibly large
amount of interesting information in a supernaturally short
Bpace of time.

A veteran officer of high distinction, Major-General Sir
^ incenfc Eyre, K.C.S.I. and C. B., has published his poems of
many years and many lands, under the title Lays of a Knight
kirranl (H. S. King and Co.). His fame is probably secured,
in tho history of the Indian Sepoy War of 1857, by the reso¬
lute enterprise he achieved in relieving and defending “the
house of Arrah. ” This may console his partial friends, if the
cold or critical temper of the reading public in our day
should fail to admire the lively offspring of his humorous,
or, by turns, sentimental vein of fancy. It is, however, quite
likely that among a large number of* readers each will find a
piece of verse to please him in this collection, which has great
variety of tone and style, with a discursive range of subjects.
The author is a man of taste and culture, as well as of active
experience ; and his leisure days have been profitably spent
amid scenes of classic or romantic history, the associations of
which he has thoughtfully imbibed and completed by study.
Italy, Germany, Switzerland, the south of France, and the
wonderful old Nile have occupied hia musing mind. The young
lady of his family, whom he mentions as having been his com¬
panion in these rambles and readings, must be congratulated
upon the rare ad vantage of sharing them with a man so well
qualified to feel their true spirit. There was something con¬
genial to a soldier of British India, we may suppose, in the
relics of Rome’s Imperial power or in those of Teutonic
chivalry. Sir Vincent Eyre has nevertheless a turn for lighter
themes. He tells the story of his dog Dandy, a narrative
of wide travels and diverse exploits, with much pleasant
humour. The “ Lays of Home - Land ” include many
occasional poems of domestic or personal interest.

A funny “ frontispiece and vignette by George Du Manner ”
predisposes one in favour of Round About the Islands ; or, Sunny
Spots Near Home,, by Clement W. Scott (Tinsley Brothers);
and the favourable predisposition is increased by the dedi¬
cation, from which it appears that the author is a pluralist in
the matter of friendship. An author who has not only a friend,
but friends, in whom he has sufficient confidence to inscribe his
book to them must havo a great deal, if it be only simple trust¬
fulness, in him. And the contents of his volume show* that he
iB moved by a genial spirit ; that he has a quick and probably,
like Lesbia, a beaming eye ; that he has a “heart alive,” as he
himself would say, to pleasant, sunny, healthful influences ;
and that ho handles a pen skilfully and agreeably. The con¬
tents of tho volume are, in part, a collection of letters devoted
to “sketches of frequent holiday rambles round our summer
islands near home ; ” but that description cannot apply to “ At
the Academy,” and some other articles, which help to raise tho
number of pages to three hundred and fifty or more of very
good reading.

Wo must not altogether forget the claim of everybody’s
children to have the beat new books for their reading pointed
out with a view to purchase by their indulgent friends. For
this purpose it is right that mention be here, made of The
Gingerbread Maiden ami Other Stories, by Laura Friswell
(Sampson Low, Mars ton. and Searle). The little volume is
dedicated to Hans Christian Andersen, of whose genial spirit
of kindly sympathy, and talent of sportive invention, the fair
author seems to have imbibed her share. It need scarcely be
explained that “ the gingerbread maiden ” is one made of that
dainty cake by the confectioner, and exhibited for sale in a
Null age shop. “Mrs. Farthingale’s Baby ” is a little drama of

humble family life, to show what may happen when idle,
quarrelsome boys and girls neglect minding the baby in their
mother's absence from home. In “Tho Queen of the Roses”
we have a flight of more poetical fancy. “ Molochia ” is the
dreadful name of reproach laid upon a naughty little girl,
whose proper name is Dora ; she rebels and runs away, but is
finally reclaimed. “ The Man in the Moon,” last of this series,
has something of the turn and air of “ Alice in Wonderland.”
Mrs. B. Dawson has furnished illustrative designs, which are
produced in the black silhouette fashion. These, too, are
livoly and expressive.

Playfulness, at one time restrained within the bounds of
graceful fancy and at another extending well into the regions
of grotesque extravagance, is conspicuous amongst the charac¬
teristics of The Little People ; and other Tales, by Lady Pollock,
W. K. Clifford, and Walter Herries Pollock (Chapman
and Hall). The volume is embellished “with illustra¬
tions by John Collier.” The “little people” of the title are
otherwise known by the name of “ fairies” and their sayings
and doings have from time immemorial been found to have a
singular fascination for the little peopled real life. It would
not be remarkable if the book were to find great favour with
the majority of English children.

The hobby which is at present being, ridden by us with so
much determination may cause more than could otherwise havo
been expected of attention to bo bestowed upon National
Education in Greece in the Fourth Century before Christ , by
Augustus S. Wilkins, M.A. (Strahan and Co). The contents
of the volume are baaed upon and adapted from an essay which
“obtained the Hare Prize in the University of Cambridge.”
The author’s object is threefold—to set forth, first, “the
popular Greek conceptions of the aims and methods of national
education;” secondly, “the manner in which these con¬
ceptions were carried into practical effect, with their general
results upon national life;” thirdly, “the criticisms of the
popular ideas and methods of education passed by the great
Greek thinkers of the fourth century before our era, with the
substitutes suggested by them.” Much learning and research
have, of necessity, been brought to bear upon the task ; and the
work is far more readable than the suspioious general reader
might in his heart imagine. It may be interesting, if not useful
and suggestive, to parents and guardians and school boards to
know that at Sparta “ the boys were inspected every ten days,
and anyone who seemed too fat was whipped.”

Alexander Leslie Montgomery, Lord Alfred Spencer Churchill,
and Berkeley Paget, the executors, the personal estate being
sworn under £80,000. The testator bequeaths £200 to each of
bis executors, and an additional sum of £300 to Mr. B. Paget;
£5000 to the Hon. Adolphus Edward Paget Graves; £200 to
Henry Thomas \oung, and £25,000 to Madame Seymourina
Suzanne I oirson as she shall appoint. None of these legacies
are to be paid until the death of the wife, who, subject thereto,
takes the whole of the property except two farms in Kent,
which on her decease are settled to the use of the said Hon.
A. E. P. Graves, for life, with remainder to his son Cyril
Cuthbert Hare Graves.

The will, dated Oct. 29, 1867, of Dame Harriet Fellows
(relict of the late Sir Charles Fellows), late of West Cowes,
Isle of Wight, who died on March 19 last, was proved on the
6th inst. by Charles Francis Fellows, John Rogers, and Henry
bellows, the executors, the personalty being sworn under
£..0,000. After giving several legacies to friends, the testatrix
leaves the residue of her property to her stepson, Mr. C. F
Fellows. The testatrix bequeaths to the trustees of the British
Museum her collection of watches, to be placed and held with
Milton’s watch, bequeathed to them by her late husband ;
and to the Royal Institution, Albemarle-street, the drawings
by herself of such watches.

The Caledonian Challenge Shield was won at Edinburgh
yesterday week, by J. Todd, Glasgow.

The large wooden bridge over the river Don, between
Mexborough and Denaby, was destroyed by fire last Saturday.

A thunderstorm of brief duration, but of great violence,
burst over some districts of the north of Scotland on Sunday.

Sir Garnet Wolseley presided, last Saturday, at the annual
meeting in connection with the Soldiers* Daughters’ Home at
Hampstead.

The projectors and proposed members of the Junior Reform
Club have held a meeting at the Westminster Palace Hotel, at
which the preliminary steps were taken for perfecting its organ¬
isation. Mr. DaDby Seymour presided. An executive com¬
mittee was elected, and a depu f ation was appointed to wait
upon Mr. Gladstone and bring the position of the club under
his notice. The secretary stated that 300 applications for ad¬
mission had been received, and that negotiations had been
opened for obtaining a lease of the premises at the corner of
Pall-mall and Waterloo*place.

SKETCHES FKOM PALESTINE.

Three views of local scenery, and one group of figures, en¬
graved for a page of this Supplement, belong to a collection of
some fifty sketches iu water colours, hastdy drawn on the
spot by Lieut. Oonder, R.E., from which he hopes, at a future
period, to work out a aeries of finished drawings, to be exhi¬
bited for the benefit of the Palestine Exploration Fund.

CARMEL AN1> KISHON.

This is a view of the winter aspect of one of the most pid*
turesque places in Palestine. The winding Kishon, after
fiowiug through the narrow gorge of Harosheth, comes out into
the fiat plains, from which the steep sides of Carmel rise*
abruptly. It has burst the sand-bar, which in summer closes
its mouth ; and, at the time of year represented, flows into tho
sea, an almost unfordable stream. Here, on the sandy dunes
near the beach, the palms, rare as they are generally in Pales¬
tine, grow in clusters. The dark hill behind is covered with a
dusky, rolling underwood, flowing like a stream over the dark
red and grey cliffs ; and, breaking down the watercourse*,
runs a thicket of mastic and other dark-leaved shrubs. It is
to this soft bushy appearance that Solomon is supposed to refer
when he likens the dark hair of his African bride to Carmel.
The alluvial plain, of deep red soil, stretches to the reedy
banks; coarse, bright-colon red marshy shrubs grow on each
aide. A long line of herons is generally to be seen watching
beside the water, or a dainty white egret stepping along tho
margin.

MOUNT EBAL AND SHECHEM.

The modern Nablus, on the site of the ancient Shechem,
lies, as is well known, in a narrow valley between the high and
rugged hills of Ebal (the mountain of curses) on the north, and
Genzim (the mountain of blessings) on tho south. Both these
stony hills are steep and barren ; only a few olives and patches
of corn grow at their feet. But tho valley between ia one of
the most delightful spots in Palestine. More than seventy
springs burst from all sides ; long gardens of orange, lemon,
and walnut surround the town, and the trees attain a size
not visible elsewhere, except at Damascus. The modern town
is hot and dirty ; but great interest attaches to it as the seat
of the last remnant of that wonderful Samaritan people now
fast dying out. Their customs and prejudices are undisturbed
by modern science. The Survey party could not convince
the high priest that Gerizim, which he believed to be the
highest mountain in the world, was actually overtopped by
the northern summit. The yearly Passover is held on this
sacred summit, when the white-robed priests and congregation
still eat the lamb, hot from the embers, standing or walking
about Of this unique scene Lieutenant Conder hopes to furnish
a sketch. It is described by Dean Stanley in his book on
Palestine. The water-colour sketch of Mount Ebal and
Shechem, as drawn by Lieutenant Conder, represents that
flush of colour which for a few minutes pervades the mountain
in the evening, with a brilliancy of reflection, from tho hard
grey crags and ruddy soil, which it ia hard for us to appreciate
m our sober clime. This contrasts forcibly with the dark
foliage of the valley lying in the shadow of Gerizim.

THE SEA OF GALILEE.

Few indeed are the viows or paintings that give a truo and
unidealised representation of a spot so deeply interesting. The
Sea of Galileo can boost of but little beauty. It is a volcanic
crater, surrounded with rolling slopes of basaltic country and
steep cliffs of white marl. A great plateau stretches away on
the east, broken only by two mouuds, being the summits of
hills more than one hundred miles distant. It has not the
wild and desolate grandeur of the Dead Sea, and from many
points of view it is tame and ordinary in appearance. The
calm transparency of the surface, in which the white crest of
Hermon is mirrored, is shown in another sketch from the
south-west. The one selected shows tho lake on a stormy day
at the time of the first rains. The thunderstorms which sweep
over the lake, with bright gleams of the warm sun lingering on
isolated spots, give a grandeur to the scene which is wanting
in calmer w*eather. The middle distance shows along slope and
curious square top of basaltic formation—the Horns of Hattin,
where the power of Christianity and Western civilisation was
broken in Palestine by that disastrous battle in whieli the
flower of crusading chivalry fell before the superior numbers
and skill of tho great Saladin.

GIPSY-BOY DANCERS.

The gipsy dancers are amongst the most curious institutions
of the country. The Egyptian dancing and singing girls are
rarely seen, though employed in such towns as Damascus, and
sometimes found among the wild Arabs in thb Jordan valley,
from whom they gain enough to carry them from tribe to tribe
on their journeys to and trom Egypt. The dancers here in
question are a different class. They are all boys or young men
allowed to appear in public. They are accompanied by a sort
of clown, whose grotesque and awkward imitation of their
movements answers closely to the part played by the European
circus-clown. Castanets are fastened to the fingers of tho
dancers, who, with a curious clawing action resembling that
of a mesmerist, often advance close to the audience. Long
skirts of various colours are worn, and float like a ballet-
dancer’s in the wind when they are turning round. The usual
motion is a voluptuous movement of the body. To a European
the performance is repulsive to the last degree. It is noticed
only as a relic of the paganism which is by no means extinct
among the lower classes of native population in Syria.

GOVERNMENT HOUSE, CAPE COAST.

NEW SCHOOLS, HARPER*STBEET, NEW KENT-ROAD.

CAPE COAST CASTLE.

The tide of contemporary interests has already begun to drift
public attention far away from the Gold Coast; but the local
capital of the British settlements in that part of West Africa,
which was the centre of so many excited feelings at the com¬
mencement of this year, is a place still claiming historical
remembrance in the future, though its political importance may
soon become a thing of the past. It seems likely, indeed, that
the seat of Government will hereafter be removed from Cape
Coast Castle to some less unhealthy place of abode for British
official gentlemen* The old range of buildings, not without
a certain stateliness, in which the representatives o England
have dwelt since the time of Charles II., will perhaps be de¬
serted or demolished. We now give a view of Government
House, with its garden front, sketched by Mr. Melton Prior,
our Special Artist with Sir Garnet Wolseley’s expedition. In
this garden, on Oct. 4, two days after his landing, Sir Garnet

convened a meeting of the Fantee kings and chiefs, assembled
under two marquees, to discuss their joint action in the
Ashantee War. Those native auxiliaries were of no service m
the field.

NEW SCHOOLS IN SOUTH LONDON.

The London School Board has been doing much good work in
Southwark and Lambeth. A visit to the new schools lately
built and opened for teaching in the districts traversed by the
Old and New Kent Roads, east of the Borough, will gratify, we
think, any friend of popular education. In Monnow-road, Blue
Anchor-road, towards Southwark Park, is one of the best
furnished and best managed of these new Board schools. That
it is most acceptable to the people of the district seems to be
proved by the fact that many more parents would gladly send
their children if there were more room. The school building
was designed by the architect, Mr. R. Plumbe, to accommo¬

date 1188, but the daily attendance^last week was nearly 1300,
and since the opening, on Jan. 4, hundreds have been turned
from the doors. There are usually about 450 boys, 400 girls,
and 450 infants. The head master, Mr. Luinley, has four
assistant masters and six pupil-teachers under him. An adult
teacher is always present in every room to direct the work.
Miss Bulcraig, the schoolmistress on the girls’ side, has three
assistant mistresses ; aud in the infant school Miss Campbell has
three, besides the apprentice teachers. With this efficient staff,
and with the best appliances, literary and mechanical, for simul¬
taneous training and teaching, the business of the school is
likely to be well performed. Another large and successful
board school recently erected is that in Harper-street, New
Kent-road, which belongs to the Lambeth division of tho
London School Board district. The building, of which Mr.
Edis. Fitzroy-sqnare, was the architect, is shown in our Illus¬
tration. Its high-pitched roof, large uppper windows, and tall
chimney-stacks in front have rather an imposing aspect. The

central entrance, in the main front, is for the infants ; the en¬
trance to the girla’ school is at one si le, ami that to the boys’
school is in Ripley-street, on the other side. This school is
also in full operation. The new schools in Creek-road and
Clifford-road, Deptford, were lately noticed. The Lambeth
and Southwark members of the London School Board may
fairly be congratulated upon such conspicuous monuments of
their zeal for the provision of ample moans to discipline and
instruct the young Londoners on that side of the Thames. Ten
or twenty years hence, let us hope, the world will be all the
better for what is now daily taught in these schools.

THE PLACE DU HAVRE, PAKIS.

The personal assault on M. Gambetta by a Bonapartist military
man calling himself the Comte de St. Croix was narrated in our
last, with the sentence of the Tribunal of Correctional Police
upon the perpetrator of this outrage. The Municipal Guard,
immediately after the scuffle at the St. Lazare terminus of the
Versailles Railway, Place du Havre, cleared first the grand
staircase and lobbies, and next the whole space outside the
station, of a great crowd there assembled. None were allowed
to pass in but those who were going to travel hy the railway,
and those who arrived by the trains were obliged at once to
quit the station. It had for some time past been the daily
practice of an idle multitude to assemble in the afternoon, at
the hour when members of the National Assembly were return¬
ing from Versailles to Paris Those who were favourites of the
mob, or whose partisans had engaged a claque for their behoof,
were greeted with sounds and gestures of applause. Others had
to encounter less agreeable manifestations of feeling ; and, in
the present uncertain temper of the populace, it seems just as
well that these irregular proceedings should have been stopped.

THE SEASON.

With the trees in Hyde Park in their fashionable summer suit
of the brightest green—though the pretty little countrified
rivulet not far from “ the Corner” has long been little better
than a sheet of dry and unsavoury mud ; with the shutters
taken down which through the winter have made almost every
third house in the “ best ” squares a corpse stonily erect among
its cheery companions ; with the windows of Bond-9treet and
Regent-street in a blaze of everything that is useless ami ex-

E ensive and fashionable, we see everywhere in their fullest
loom the glories of London society, those without whom “the
Season ” would not exist even as a name—the Swells.

Up and down Rotten Row, desiring, apparently, no wider
field for their exertions, walk and trot gently cavaliers and
dames innumerable, mounted on Tattersall’s choicest—
livery-stable keepers tell you there has not been such
a Season for seven or eight summers ; round the
outer circle of the Park roll carriages filled with deli¬
cate, golden-haired maidens in pink, and stately Greek
beauties in olive-green or deep violet; while here and
there a four-in-hand sweeps by, with trim (if “tawny”)
Guardsmen and bright, laughing girls, in their lightest summer
dresses, perched above a team of splendid bays ; Regent-street
and Bond-street are full of tightly-buttoned-up, frock-coated
young men and eagerly-shopping maids ; the Academy boasts
its double eye-glasses of dowagers by the score, as well as its
shovel hats of clerical dignitaries—shall I say by the hundred ?
(where do all the Academy Bishops spring from ?); and in the
evening the opera-houses brim over with duchesses in acres of
lace and bushels of diamonds ; whilo along every square are
perpetual little canvas porticoes, and outspread carpets to save
the feet of the Upper Ten from contact with anything so
common as stone.

What must it cost, this “Season”? Walking through
Grosvenor-aquare the other afternoon I saw a carriage wait¬
ing to receive a stout old lady perfectly well able to take care
of herself ; an able-bodied man was standing ready to open
the carriage-door ; a second, equally able-bodied, having flung
open the door of the house, was striking an attitude of singular
beauty on the mat; while a third stalwart menial acted as
guard of honour outside the room from which her portly lady¬
ship was preparing to issue. Is it too much to assume that
from morning to night these three men had very little to do
beyond welcoming the coming and speeding the parting guests
of No. —, Grosvenor-square ? And, if it is not, how much
may wo put down as the annual cost of the trio, who might,
as far as the uninitiated eye can perceive, be folly replaced by
one very little boy in buttons ?

What does one four-in-hand cost ? Five hundred a year?
How mach does Madame Delamode receive for a single ball-
dress, or ono of those still more overwhelming costumes in
which qur fair patricians appear before their Sovereign—and of
which it would seem that so very little remains Vlieu they
have at length succeeded in struggling home ? Diamonds,
opera-boxes, dinners, and dances—what sort of a bill does the
Earl of Littletynbury have to pay for these at the end of a
season, in which, perhaps, none of his daughters have been
“ got rid of,” not one of his impecunious sons has made a big
match ? No wonder the mortgages grow heavier, the idea of
ever attempting to pay them off more wildly remote, even the
possibility of preventing a foreclosure less of a probability every
year. If the star of Littletyubury still diminishes, while
that of Griggs, his linendraper (and mortgagee), increases
daily, it can hardly be said to be altogether Griggs’s
fault, a thing for which Griggs is to be sneered at and bated
by men whom he has saved more tlian once from immediate
ruin ; though, beyond question, he is an “awful cad,” with less
breeding than brains, and considerably clearer ioeas of honesty
than of h’s—the which letter a man had better commit all the
deadly sins in a body than leave out.

Such are the Season and its cost, in Park-lane and Belgrave-
yuare ; but thero is a reverso to the medaL Let ns go from
Regent-street, West, to Regent-street, Westminster, of which,
probably, fifty per cent of our readers never heard, though it is
the main thoroughfare of a neighbourhood at least as populous
as that of its aristocratic namesake a mile off. Here throughout
the hottest summer arc crowded together in narrow alleys and
nlthy lanes thousands of human beings who never know what
it is to havo a holiday, except in the dreadful time when they
can get no work—many of wh -m never from year’s end
to year a end can really feel what buoyant, unclouded health

though they manage to keep body and soul together without

factory betimes every morning from some more wholesome
neighbourhood Mauy of these men are, in their way, edu-

nor do they forget whence was obtained the wealth with which
all these are bought. Has not the National Kefovnicr lately
published a series of articles (eminently calculated to bring into
brotherly union rich and poor), tracing to their somewhat un¬
savoury sources the fortunes of most of our “ great families ” ?
Can we expect the man of forty, who, to maintain his wife and
children and improve himself, works hard and honestly, amid
impure air and almost unavoidable dirt,— can we expect
him, brought up so far from all the refining and softening
influences of ease and comfort, to look with a very kindly
eye upon the “young swell” who, doing nothing, thinking
nothing—perhaps feeling nothing — spends every year the income
of fifty working-men solely and sellishly on his own amuse¬
ment ? Can we hope that to him the Season, with its thousand
glories and delights, is anything but a bitterness, a series of
insult 0 , a robbery (perhaps he thinks) of that which would
give to liia children health and gaiety, to him self leisure for
thought and culture — to all, longer and healthier and better life ?

What answer can we make to the cry of the pale, old-faced
little ones, the savage growl of the mechanic, the earnest
prayer of the political economist—pressing on with bis terrible
logic, careless what fire his words may light ? Are they not
both here—the misery of the many, the wealth, wasted by the
hands of the few, that might relieve it ? Both are here—as
they ever have been.

That is our answer—they have ever been. Time is the
father of Seasons. The swells of the present day live only as
long use has made it their nature to live. We cannot expect the
typical Guardsman, brought up to do nothing so artistically
that in this special line no man in the world can rival him, to
sacrifice his income and his idleness, to be laughed at, or put
into a lunatic asylum, for the benefit of those members of
another race, whom he knows only as “ cads.” Time has made
him what he is ; Time is gradually bringing round a reform.
How many men with historical names and colossal incomes
would a century ago have given up the best part of their time
to help those who can hardly help themselves, to think and
work for the untaught and overworked poor ? How many do it
to-day ? The answer is a proud one for England ; and these
noblemen are every day lessening that danger of revolution of
which those w r ho do most to sow its seeds whisper with pro¬
found est awe.

“There’s a good time coming,” it is to be hoped. In the
meanwhile, let us take the “swells” as they are—and as they
are is it not good to see them ? What a great factory would
smoky Loudon be without these gleams of silk and velvet,
these pink and blue and amber butterflies, the beautiful
women’s faces, the noble horses and stately riders, that stream
each day along Hyde Park and Piccadilly — this laughing, chat¬
tering, glittering, useless crowd (as useless as bright flowers
and sweet scents) that lights up the dull routine of business
life, the sober men and women of all the year round, when,
like the spring with its birds and blossoms in the country,
in town from May to August the swells return to saunter
through “ the Season !”

How picturesque is the whole, how entirely devoid of the

niscence of Woolwich ” (190), and of charging cavalry suddenl J
reining up as the trumpet sounds the “ 4 Halt >’—a Rerni

of drawing the horse in lull action, together with a auirit
and vigour, that for a lady’s work is moat extraordinary,
and for the display of which the “Calling the Roll” affords
no opportunity. On the other hand, there is in these as
in some previous works, a tendency to clever exaggeration
which we do not find m the Academy picture. “ A Se&Fieht ”

FINE ARTS.

EXHIBITION OF WOJtKS IN BLACK AND WHITE.

The collection of drawings and designs in any material that
dees not yield colour in the ordinary sense, which is now on
view at the Dudley Gallery, is rather superior to that of last
year. A larger number of artists of position are among the
contributors. If the engraving element is less widely repre¬
sented, there is an increased proportion of work of auto¬
graph c interest—i.e., studies from nature, many of them
for pictures, etchings, and drawings for the wood-engraver.
In this last section the wprks by English artists present a
great variety of ability ; bat the excellence of the foreign
etchers is, perhaps, not shown to more advantage than last
season. The display contains much that is deserving of study,
though it will probably prove of more interest to artists than
the public. Many of the designs, (as well as the etchings) are,
of course, not novel, they having been appropriated for finished
pictures aud water-colour drawings, or published in a printed
lorin, particularly as wood-engravings.

lu preparatory works of this kind it is not to be expected
that many should present an importance demanding lengthened
observation. Nor have we space either to attempt to criticise
ail the works of merit in detail, or to venture on so fertile a
theme as the general principles of design, draughtsmanship,
aud effect, and the technicalities of drawing with “the point,”
the “ stump,” and the brush, or on wood and other materials,
or with the burin, etching needle, aqua-fortis, and so forth.
We shall therefore content ourselves with chronicling some of
the more prominent successes, following their order on the
walls, but grouping the contributions of a given artist together,
and wishing it to be understood that when we limit ourselves
to giving the title only we intend thereby to commend it to
the visitors’ attention.

We commence our survey, then, with No. 5, one of a series
of small etchings after old masters, with the exception of a
spirited portrait of Sir Richard Wallace after Baudry, by Jules
Jacquemart, the eminent French etcher, whose name sufficiently
guarantees their first-rate quality. No. 9 is a slight landscape
sketch in charcoal by the late George Cattermole. There are
other similar works by the same, as also a sketch by Sir David
Wilkie, but why they are admitted we are at a loss to imagine.
The exhibition should, we think, be restricted to works by
living artists, otherwise its character will be in danger of being
lost. “The Foundling” (13), by F. Holl, is a study for the
picture in the Academy, and in some respects preferable.
“ Mont St. Pere ” (14) is cne of ten studies by L. Lhermitte, au
fuain, which have fine pictorial qualities of composition, effect,
and feeling, often pathetic. We may name as specially ad-
mirable Ihe Pilgrimage ” (162)—women in a church, one
holding her infant to kiss a chasse containing the relics that
have attracted the pilgrims—and the “ Last Ceremony ” (120)
the church service for the dead, with the mourners round the
coffin. Similarly impressive are the drawings (34 and 60) by J

^ m l et A/‘ Study of a Head” (33), very ably foreshortened,

A number of Munich pictures are being exhibited in the
rooms at 48, Great Marlborough-street, which for the occasion
arc called the “ Munich Gallery.” Among these are three
cartoons hy Kaulb&ch, the late director of the Munich Gallery.
One of them is the “ Amor and Psyche,” a well-known design.
Another is “James V. Opening the Scottish Parliament at
Edinburgh,” a comparatively weak composition, in which
the disproportionate length of all Kanlbach’s figures is not
adequately redeemed by dignity of character or dramatic im-

S ressiveness. The third cartoon, “Peter Arbues Con-
eniniDg a Heretic Family to the Flames,” is greatly
superior : it has much of the intensity of conception and
expression of the master, though it is not of itself sufficient to
justify to English eyes the artist’s fame. There are several
large oil-paintings in the old-fashioned style of German art
which convey no idea of the recent art-revival in the Bavariau
capital, such, for example, as Professor Conrad6r's paint}' and
positive, unrefined and unimpressive “ Lying in State of the
Emperor Joseph II. ; ” Professor Otto’s heavy and clumsy
piece of decoration, “The Triumph of Bacchus*,” Schorns
theatrical and badly-painted “ Deluge; ” Professor A, Zimmer¬
man’s forcible-feeble “ Finding of Moses and the dreadfully
opaque “ Battle oi the Gram cub,” hy Gunkel. A view of
Florence, by Kirchncr, and some landscapes by Wenglein, are
almost the only tolerable works among those of moderate
dimensions.

The display of horses beat that at the Bath and West of

nave been excelled anywhere. The dog show, a new feature,
was a decided success.

CHESS INTELLIGENCE.

A chess-match took place on Saturday, the 13th inst., between the South
London and Endeavour Chess Clubs, resulting in favour of the latter. The
return match is expected to take place in July.

Dr Linde’s History of Chess.— The first volume of this elaborate
work has, we hear, passed through the press, and In a few days it will
probably be in the nands of the public. Upon the completion of his
History " Dr. IJude intends to publish a kindred work, under the title
of ** Three Centuries of Chess—1495*1705," in which complete translations
of Luceua, Dainiano, Polerio, the Latin MS. (Gottinger), Bertin,
Allgaier, and several other chess authors will be given.

Problem Tourney of the British Chess Association.— The com¬
mittee appointed to examine and dedde upon the merits of the competing
sets of problems in this tournament haveatlength made their award. Forty-
five sets were contributed in all, and to nine of these, bearing the follow¬
ing mottoes, the prizes have been adjudged—namely, to “Look after the

DEATH OF MR. STAUNTON.

It is with deep regret that we announce the death of
Mr. Howard Staunton, who for many years has had charge
of this column. He died quite suddenly on Monday last.
We hope to be able to give a portrait of Mr. Staunton next
week, until when we reserve his memoir.

By an interesting letter on Ancient Rome from Mr. J. H.
Parker, Oxford, we learn that the whole length of the Forum
Romanum is cleared out down to the pavement, with part of the
Via Sacra, the Suinma Yia Sacra, and the Coliseum. The work
is going on steadily, under the direction of Signor Rosa.

Ancient British remains have been found at Ilkley, near the
Midland Railway station, including the outline of a human
form, as if embedded in ordinary brick-clay, and jet ornaments
and a rude statue.

Extensive ruins have been found some miles east of
Florence, on the Gila river ; the principal remaiua being a
fortified palace with towers and moat.

The Norfolk and Norwich Archeological Society have met
in the Guildhall, Norwich, when there were exhibited coloured
drawings of the relic-chamber, and panels painted with repre¬
sentations of saints, found during the alterations at the church
of Horsham, St. Faith’s. For their estimate the Corporation
were termed “ a pachydermatous set” and “ruthless Goths.”

A paper has been read to the Society of Biblical Archaeology
on the Cylindrical Black Granite Altar at Nactarhebor, Turin,
by Joseph BonomL In a second note, by Mr. H. Fox Talbot,
the following sentences were adduced to show that the As¬
syrian literature was not confined Bolely to inscriptions upon
tablets of baked clay:—“In the night-time bind around the
sick man’s head a sentence taken from a good book” (for a
charm) ; and “Care not to save the newly-written books.”

Messrs. Hogarth, of Mount street, Grosvenor square, have
on view a picture representing the river side of Westminster,
with the landing of Catherine of Braganza at the Palace of
Whitehall, attended by the civic authorities. The picture is
probably the work of Thomas Wyck, sometimes called Van Wyck,
who came to England at the Restoration and settled here.

Mr. H. Willett, F.G.S., secretary to the Sub-Wenlden
Exploration Fund, reports that 900 ft out of the 1000 ft. con¬
tracted for have been nearly reached. It is stated that £500 are
at once needed for lining-tubes, and at least £250 additional for
every 100 ft. below 1000 ft.

Sir Gardner Wilkinson has presented to Harrow School his
collection of coins, numbering about 1000, he having founded
his museum at the school, with his large and most valuable
collection of Egyptian, Greek, and other antiquities.

The “ History of the Coinage of Syracuse, by Mr. Barclay
Head, of the British Museum, is in the press. It will be
accompanied by autotype plates, exemplifying the progress of
Greek art, as shown on the coins of Syracuse, the magnificent
medallions of which city are so well known to numismatists.

Of coal-field extension an important problem has been
solved. The “thick coal” of South Staffordshire has been
passed through in the sinkings of Sandwell Park, and found to
be six yards in thickness. This extension of the South Stafford¬
shire coal in an easterly direction is of the utmost importance
to that district.

A transcript of John Lydgate's Chronicles, 570 pages,
entirely in the autograph of John Stow, has just been dis¬
covered. In the same volume is bound “ The boke of Eneydos,”
compiled by Vyrgyle, Caxton, 1490.

A mosaic picture, by Salviati, of “The Risen Saviour,” has
been fixed at the western end of the Morning Chapel of St.
Paul’s Cathedral, as a memorial to the late Venerable Arch¬
deacon Hale, Master of the Charterhouse.

Mr. Murray announces for publication “The Ecclesiastical
and Secular Architecture of Scotland : the Abbeys, Churches,
Castles, and Mansions,” by Thomas Arnold, M.R.I.B.A. ; ac¬
companied by illustrations, plans, views, Ac., uniform with Mr.
Fergusson’s “ History of Architecture.”

There has been read to the Chester Archeological Society
a paper endeavouringto show that a tomb lately opened in tho
cathedral is that of Ralph Higden, the author of the “ Roly-
chronicon. ”

Mr. Leveson Gower has exhibited to the Society of Anti¬
quaries a pewter chalice found on the site of the old church at
Titsey, Surrey. This ch«alice had probably been interred with
the body of an ecclesiastic, many such examples having been
found. The Company of Merchant Taylors have also exhibited
two horsecloths belonging to that company, one date 1480,
circiier-; the other about 1520. The subjects embroidered on
the flaps of the pall relate chiefly to the life of John the Baptist,
patron of the company.

From the new discoveries of Troy we learn that, besides the
large slabs discovered at Hassarlik at 30 ft. depth, a more
ancient pavement has been found. While the sfc latum which
Dr. Schiiemann and other EuhemeristB assign to l’liam and his
family extends only from 23 ft. to 32 ft. below the surface, these
new excavations reach from 30 ft. to 53 ft. Those who believe
that there must be some kind of historical foundation for all
mythological and epiepoetry will have to assign this new stratum
to Laomedon, Priam’s father, whose llion was destroyed by
Hercules “with only six ships and fewer men.”

Dr. Gross, the author of “ Les Habitations du Lac de
Brienne,” in which all the stations in that lake of the stone
and bronze ages are described in detail, has just presented to
the Archaeological Mnseum of Berne a hatchet of nephrite,
a rare stone found only in Eastern Asia, which in the lake
dwellings of Switzerland is an unsolved puzzle.

Mr. J. W. Grover has exhibited to the British Archaeolo¬
gical Association forgeries of daggers and keys ; portions of a
gypsire found in the City, sixteenth century; and shoes of late
fourteenth century, found at Billingsgate.

The Rev. S. M. Mayhew exhibited to the Association a
brooch of hard white metal, representing the crescent moon,
with pearled edges, within which rests the sun in full splendour,
surmounted by an estoille of eight wavy rays, fifteenth century ;
a hawking pouch, early fifteenth century ; two plaques of very
thin lafcten, embellished with brilliant red, blue, white, and
gold lacquer, one of the lateral facings of a feretrum or shrine
of Nuremberg manufacture, of the sixteenth century ; and also
two poly chromic paving-tiles, and two wall-tiles (fifteenth to
seventeenth centuries), a Fulham-ware cup, and varous rare
specimens, of Saxon and Romano-British fictilia found at Col¬
chester and in London.

There have been read to the Archaeological Institute “Notes
upon the Burial of the Body and Heart of Abbot Roger de
Norton in St. Alban’s Abbey.” In the third paper Mr. Clark
and Mr. Greaves referred to other and singular examples of
heart burial, Mr. Greaves quoting the instance of the bequest
of his heart to the Abbey of Dieulacrcs by Ralph, Earl of
Chester, during his lifetime. The chairman exhibited an
original kitchener’s account of the Abbey of Tewkesbury,
A..D. 1385-6 ; and a portable reliquary, in nine compartments,
in each of which are still existing the relics placed there in the
; fifteenth century, which had belonged to ail Italian refugee
monk. The numerous other items exhibited exceed our limits
to enumerate.
