It is not, we believe, the int. ation of the managers of the show at the Crystal ralitv to throw the first stone--for those who live in glass bowies will naturally shrink from the process—but we do not see why St Paul's should not go into the competition with spirit. :mil lane a sort of programme of prices, suited to the extraordinuy occasion upon which we are entering.

The tickets will nut be transferable, but will entitle the owner to admission tido never the cathedral is open.

The Lord Chancellor, in delivering judgment, having first laid down that mothers of children have nu rights as ouch to an interference with the testamentary guardians, and eared that he should leave the child in the custody of her mother, went on to say : " I find not only the nee eight or nine years, but a ' very strong preponderance of medical testimony that the child (Augusta falbot) iv of very weak constitutien, :Ind though nut afflicted with any dangerous disease, yet that ; there is u remelt:gable tendency to dangerous disease.

It is perfectly clear that since that time the event has taken place—it had, indeed, taken place before—but was not known to tree, and I believe not known to him—that the mother had contracted marriage; but there is nothing to show that anything is likely to result from that circumstance to prevent the child being as properly attended to as before."

So far from Mr. - Doyle having done anything inconsistent with his duty, it is the course which, of all others, I 'Mould have expected him to adopt." As regards the faith in which the infant, John Talbot, was to be brought up, his lordship said, " I have a Itornan catholic parent appointing a Rumen catholic guardian, and lam asked to interfere as to the religion of the child.

Those who are familiar with our London hospitals know that they have their quadrangles, in which mutilated and shattered human life itself is rife enough. It is the gardens and exereise , grounds commode(' with our great establish ments dedicated to the• cure of disease to which we wish to call attention —it is in behalf of the poor human creature, slowly struggling towards convalescence, that we wish to he herd—oln. ets noire worthy of all the aids of art, broken and degenerated as they are, than the most previous statue that l'hidias ever wrought.

Yet it is into such pleasure grounds as these that the patient is turned out by careless nurses for fresh air as Klett as he can shut& from bed to bed.

This truth has been long rovognised by medical men, and a convalescent hospital has been proposed to which suit- able patients might be drafted; but to oar minds • much of the necessity for set, h an estahli-ohment would be avoided if each hospital were to take advantage of the new-found resources of art, displayed on so magnifi cent a scale at the Crystal Palace. Why should not a portion at least of the miserable hospital gardens b• en closed with glass ? With this crystal shield we might Meer the patient at all times front the rude assaults of the weather, and we might even regulate the temperature in a certain degree without excluding the fresh air. Such en chwed spaces might form winter gardens and conservatories for the sick. as we already have them for the hale and strong: and if we are correctly informed, the governors of the Hospital for Consumption have already entertained the idea.

TO THE !EXTON. OF TIE EXPRES.. A single pirate prahu was seen near the island of Manuk, which, owing to the breadth of the reefs, could nut be approached. Two armed boats were therefore de spatched, and were some time engaged with the pirates. The latter had hauled their prahu so close to the beaekthat they could only be approached on one aide over the reefs. The pirates fired the tint shut, which was answered by a ' mart discharge of blunderbu-ss, swivels, and mitskets by our people, but the enemy being well covered by the breast works of their prahus, received our attack courageously, and kept up so heavy and well directed a tire that the people in the boats had one severely and two slightly wounded. The tide was now falling, and would soon have left the reef dry, which from the superior force of the pirates would have placed our people in a dangerous position, partirulaly as the steamer was out of sight on the other site of the island. The lieutenant in command therefore wisely detenuined not to risk his men and returned on board. In the meantime the commander determined not to waste time here any longer, us his object was to follow up the pursuit of the main laxly of the pirates. Ile therefore left these pirates rentainiug on the reef, and after taking on board the necessary pilots steamed with the two small schooners and the cruise boat of the sultan of Sumanap in tow toward , Kangeang. Early iu the morning of the 10th January, they arrived at a bay on the S.W. side of Kangeang, and discovered fourteen pirate praltus lying in it. Lieutenant Milligan took the steamer as far as possible into the bay, but was obliged to anchor at a considerable distance from the prahus on account of the number of reefs and shoals. The only mode, therefore, of approaching was by means of the cruise prahus and ship's boats. An attacking force, consisting of the two prahus and two of the steamer's boat*, reinforced by a detachment of marines and sailors from the steamer, was sent in under the command of Limit. Collard. Its course was directed straight for the pirates. Consider able difficulty wax experienced in piloting the flotilla through the rocks and reefs, and they were unable to get nearer to the prahus than 240 or 300 yards distance. The pirates were 14 in number and appeared to be well armed and manned, having strong breastworks on the exposed side. They had an additional defence of large spars stuck out in such a manner that it wax impossible to board them in any other way than by advancing right in the face of their tire. The artillery of the flotilla, consisting of a 4 pounder, a 1 pounder, and two swivels of the cruise boats, the 12 pounders of the launch and four one pound lelas of the Sumanap boat, now opened, and was unrue diately answered by a heavy discharge of round shot, stones and grape. Fortunately it was possible to approach the pirates so near that their shot passed chiefly over the heads of our men. Two of our men and Lieut. Jordan were slightly wounded, and the boats received several round shots in their hulls. The pirate prahus suffered much from the well directed tire of the flotilla, and many of the enemy were killed. The expediency of boarding the prahus was now con sidered, hut this purpose was abandoned, because it wax generally considered as too reckless a deed. Indeed the prahus could not be reached except by leaping from rock to rock and wading breast high in the water; with only 42 Europeans there was no chance of overpowering a force of from 200 to 300 pirates; the more, because the latter were protected by the breastworks of their prahus, while our men were exposed, not only to a fire front the prahus, but also to a moss fire of Mies from the shore. he champions, arrayed in particolourell clothes. danced and capered on the platforms and incited the men to fight, aided by the wild war music. The ammunition being all expended and the boats and guns considerably damaged. Lieut. Collard sent to the commanding officer for further orders, on which the force was recalled.

The particulars of the ease, so far as we have learned, are the following:—On Wednesday, the sth instant, as the shepherd of Culterellers—a fano situated in the sequestered strath of Cutter Water -was pass ing a woad at some distance from the farm-house, he discovered the body of a man lying on a ' large tire, which was nearly extinguished. The lower part of the body was entirely consumed, anti on ex ' &mining such of the upper part as remained, it was found that the throat haul been rut, and a severe wound inflicted on the hack of the head. Marks of blood were clearly traceable on several places near the fire. On searching the ashes the blade of a razor waS 1 cl, which had evidently ; been employed in inflicting the wounds. No person was I able to identify the body. as the features of the- face were entirely obliterated by the action of the fire, and the dress ! was all consumed except a fragment of the vest and coat, 1 which appeared to be tweed grey. The remains were in -1 terred in Colter churchyard, the same day on which they were discovered. Sfareek a doubt can be e n t er t a i ne d that the deceased was nuirderea : and we are not aware what has been the result of the investigation by the authorities, if any has been undertaken.—Scoramon. i,i'Mrs OF CALIFORNIAN Gum—Lumps of pure Californian gab!, so rare only a short time since, are now becoming plentiful in the shop-windows of the Li jeweller*.

VRLIT GARDEN: Let all training anal pruning be assiduously proceeded with, that it may as soon as possible be brought to a con clusion, particularly where the advice given in an early ca lendar has been followed, by leaving unpruned those fruit trees of whith the buds are liable to be injured by the bull ' finches. Any trees which are furnished with a tolerable , quantity of blossom buds, and arc not yet protected, should be immediately attended to. If canvas or netting is not avail able, evergreen branches must serve OS a substitute. In ap plying them, use as many as will protect the blossoms, with out depriving them of light, and let great care be taken that the buds arc not broken or injured, in filing the brunches; anal also that the latter are fastened no securely, that the wind may not be able to move them, and rub against the buds. All pear and other fruit trees, once pt those too far ads ane,•,l in bud, which are infested with scale, or insectsof any kind, should now have the wash recommended in fanner ralendars, applied to their branches. This will be very effectual now, as the insects will he getting more active, with the increasing warmth of the season. LONDON PLACES OF AMUSEMENT. FREE UNCONDITIONALLY.
