LITERATURA Introductory Lectures on ihs Scare and Art De partment, and the South Ifensinyton Museum. No. 1. The Functions of the Santee and Art At partment. By liana Cots, C. 8., Secretary and General Superintendent. No. 2. 011 the Gift of the She hank. Colbretion, with a raw to Me formation of a Natiensal Gamy of British Art. By RICHARD REDORATIt, R.A. One of the functions of the department over which Mr. Cole presides is to aid Science and Art by assisting in the publication of works, diagrams, models, B:c., according to the following i method : You bring your work, submit it to the inspection of the officers of the department. If they approve of it, you are told, " Find a publisher; we run no risk whatever. If your publisher will satisfy as that he will publish your work at the lowest cat, we will patro nise you both, and allow you half the prioo for any works you may sell our schools; these schools pay ing you the other." This we believe to be the method pursued at Kensington when any work is submitted to the vaunted Department of Science and Art. Well, provided this method be fairly earned out, we won't grumble at it, though we doubt, from what we have heard from publishers of the terms they are called on to submit to, whether it will be likely much to benefit either Science or Art. We see the names of Mesas. Chapman and Hall attached to the two lectures before us. Mr. Coles has the modest sum of one penny marked as its price, that of Mr. Redgrave is left a blank; but as it is precisely . similar to the former, as to style and amount of print and paper, we assume its price will be the same. In matters relating to Science we like to be accurate; we find by measurement that each page of these documents presents us with 28 square inches of print on 110 square inches of paper. We have margin here enough, and to spare. It is, as Sir Benjamin Backbiter would say, A rivulet of type meandering through a meadow of margin." We hope that Messrs. Chapman and Hall have made a for speculation with the authors of these ad dresses, and we hope some day to hear how much they have gained after partaking of the advantage of the schools in connexion with the department having copies supplied to them at half-price. When we know how tardily and how stingily Govern ment aide are afforded to Science, we cannot but rejoice that these expensive publication., according to the rules of the department, will not absorb more of the funds allowed it for promoting Science and Art than one halfpenny per copy. We have read Mr. Cole's address with some atten tion, and we confess that we are not much illuminated as to the attributes of the Science and Art Department. What functions this body performs are by no means clearly set forth. Science stands Int ; we look in vain for the scientific functions of the Department. We see Science—Science, over and over again on every page of Mr. Cole's address, but it is only - the name of the Department of Science and Art. Has the name only been chosen to decorate the Department ? Mr. Cole confesses that " inheriting the old schools of design, the Department exercised a more direct and positive action for Art than for Science." Whatever then may be the action of the Art functions, that for Science most be less. Both in Science and Art the Department professes only to exercise its function.. on secondary or adult educa tion. True to circumlocution, primary education has all its functions remaining as a separate division of the Committee of Council carried on at Whitehall. All that we can find about adult scientific educa tion in Mr. Cole's report is that at the present time " the number of navigation or Science schools of all kinds at present in connexion with the department is twenty-two." Marvellous number. flow tempt of tassi be rnewit•orit et Imo • onamisa A assorwomismi bed —the Society at Arts—an- trued ro get more tharifour hundretradult scientific schools to join its connexion. Surely the scientific reactions of Mr. Cole's Department are coffering from something like paralysis. We must gire tt some credit, however—it has raised an iron stud out Mita 73,0001. a year for the Patent Museum, though Mr. Cole condescendingly tells us that this is only to be regarded as • temporary refuge for the destitute. So much for Mr. Cole's account of the scientific functions of his Deportment. It is true we are promised to hear a little more about it when the Inspector-General for Science favours the public with his address. When we analyse, however, the art functions of the department, as given by Mr. Cole, we gain little more information of these than of the scientific. We are told that art-education for the manufactures is a failure, that Government cannot stimulate it. That the Department succeeded, at a cost to the State of 1401. a-piece, in educating four porcelain painters, and then found there was no adequate market for their labours. We are told to console ourselves for this failure; that, in spite of all Government assistance to Art on the Continent, the people there would prefer our porcelain to their own, were it not for the fiscal prohibition which prevents them exercising their Lute. A strange passage this from a lettere on art-functions. We are told that the Department, owing to its Government facilities, is obtaining cuts, electro types, and photographs of all the great art-treasures of Europe. These, by a self-acting process, are to be distributed to museums and Wilt schools through out the country. Now this would be an important function if carried out, but we doubt whether the distribution will be very extensive, according to the self-acting process adopted. That process is to dis tribute these works as prizes, not to the pupils who win them, but the school which have educated them. Mr. Cole gives us no information as to the number of adult schools of art in connexion with the depart ment. Ile tells as that there are 66 schools of art, educating 36,000 students in drawing and painting, throughout the United Kingdom, in connexion with the Department, at a cost of Itie. each per annum ; but he admits that these numbers include children in poor schools under instruction in drawing. Now theme poor children do not belong to the functions of Mr. Cole'. Department. If we exclude the poor schools, who have bought a few pencils and drawing beards from the Department at reduced prices, Mr. Cole's lumbers will be greatly diminished. We are forced, therefore, to coax to the conclusion that the art functions of the Department display as little vigour as the scientific. The circumlocution of Mr. Cole's address, its apologetic tone for not doing a thing, and its bar renness of information, gives timely warning to the really active workers for secondary or adult educa tion in this country. The department has its eye on the successful working of the suspended body of Examiners fur the Society of Arts, and promises examinations and prizes for all the schools which will connect themselves with it. The Department so doubt would like to pluck another feather from the Society of Arts, especially if it found a conve nient excuse for the creation of a few mere Inspec tors-General. Mr. Redgrave gives on a disquisition on English painters scarcely rising above mediocrity. Why it should be so expensively printed we cannot divine. Little enough can be learned from it by those who would wish to know something about the artistic 'slue of Mr. Sheepshanks' collection. But the lec ture does one thing—it exercises most ingenious spe cial pleading for making Ketaington the site of the 'lf Mamma Pictures, and building ugly places for their reception.

On Tuesday last a deputation waited upon the Bari of Clarendon, at the Foreign Office, foe the porpoise of ling • memorial front the committee of the !Minh end Foreign Anti-Slavery Society, against the immi 'ratios slave burin, now being tented on by the French, from the west come of Africa. It was composed of the fol kiwtsg :—The Hon. A. Einnaird, M.P., Scotland; Messrs. R. Hanbroy, M.P., Charles Buxton M.P., Charles Gilpin, M.P., Captain Wilmot, R.N., Cap tain Coo* H.N. ; the Item. J.

Crouch (Lialreard), John Barrow (Lancaster). W. Dendy (Jamaica), We.. Robson (Stockton), Dr. N. Shaw , and L. A. Chameromew. The memorial called the Earl of Clarendon'. attention to the address presented b a deputation from the society ' to Viscount Palmerston in July last on the acclaim of floe made by the West India body to obtain the sanction etas government@ to a general wbeme of immigration from the coast of Africa, and dwelt upon the evils which—ea had been predicted—had resulted from the adoption of the scheme by the French government, through the agency of the Meade. Regis and Co.. of Marseille'. It sated, on the au thority of Mr. Consul Campbell, at Loos, that tho Perin gume and rho Spaniards had greatly stimulated the trade in slaver, for they had outbidden the French in their demands fee so-called immigrants, and shipped large numbers of maws ; and, aa one consequence of this demand for men In stead of commodities, the native chief. were abandoning Ornate commerce to tare their attention again to slam-deal lug. Quotation. were added front the letters of the Rev. H. Townsend, ("March Missionary at Abheokute, and from the Sierra Leone Advertiser, giviog special instance' of the in jurious operation of the new scheme, and denouncing it as apes "lave-trading. The memorial concluded by expressing a hope that the government would adopt the promptest means of putting an end to a new traffic in human bemire, which, If not checked at once, we. likely soon to assume unlimitable proportion., with results as disastrous as any that have attended the prosecution of the deice-trade itself. The Earl of CLARINIION expremied the enuiliostioa It afforded him to receive so large and influential a deputation, which he could sae, from the list of names hani in, too towed delegates from all part. of the country, and might therefore be regarded as an evidence of the deep and general interest that was felt in the question which the memorial brought under his notice. Such a deputation wee very en enameled as tboo__ ._ _ goversunent via* be mid se** *m g mei te ,2ref Anetiem . 7l IND n i ol i bonitos' to designate as th il ii4r 6 bm il L ll , u =4. ar ar sltigatsd sad undisguised. The whole quedion, however, had been submitted to the romideration of tho French government, which he believed had not foreseen that Om mull of attempts to obtain immigrant* from Africa would be the revival of the stave trade; and be felt quite sure nothing was further from the wishes or the though. of the Emperor of the French them to re-open this emended traffic in opposition to the policy of the leading eivilieed power", and to - the well-known national sentiment of this country. The evils could scarcely be exaggerated that must arise from the checking of the le gitimate commerce, which in many parte of the African resat had totally suporeederl the 'redo in slave*, and in others wee rapidly estingolahmg it. This wee a point which bore intimately on the commercial interests of this country, and to the importance of which the" government we' fully alive. The deputation would be encouraged to hear that the attempt@ of the French agent to obtain immigrants had been so uesureemful, be (Lord Clarendon) thought he might venture to my that, even on this account, the "peculation would be abandoned, at least for the present, and no died should be spared by the . government to prevent the renewal of a tra ffi c between which and the slave trade there was no appreciable difference. Ile adored the deputation of Ma cordial sympathy with tho objects of the Anti-Shivery Society, and his concurrence in the sentimentaset forth in the memorial. THE MISSING Same of THE Es u.—TheAustralian mail steamer, Emeu, struck on a coral reek, projecting 16 mini from the shore, at_ • idea called Dabeadabb, on the western coast of the Red Sea. The danger of the Emeu was SO great that by the advice of every one on board, Captain Gough, the Admiralty agent on board, had all the mall hone containing letters proud in an Arab boat, and took them to Jeddah, on the opposite mast. While there he wrote • letter to be given to the captain of any of the Indian mail packet. Fairing down the Red Sna, repreting him to call at Jeddah and take him and the mails to Suez. This letter he sent to the commander of the Emeu. The Emea, to the surprise of every one on board, wen got under weigh, and proceeded on to Suez. She was overtaken by the India mail rammer, Ilindostan, and the roulmuder of the latter remind Captain Gougb's letter. The 11 indostan immedi ately turned round, and steered for Jeddah. When she arrived off there it was found that Captain Gough, tired of waiting for assistanoe, bad started la • native beat kw Suez. This was on the Ist instant. The commander of the Hindostan searched for Captain Gough eking the Red Sea for upwards of 70 miles, but could not end him. Thin, however. is easily uncounted for. The eastern shore of the Red Sea im lined with coral rock. The native boat with the mails would skirt along the shore Inside the reefs, not only became it was eater fora small boat than mid channel, bat because the Arab C 7111! Of each boars land every night to sleep ; but the Hindostan was obliged to keep more in mid channel to avoid the coral reefs. It is im possible to say when the native boat with the mails would reach Sues. It might be six weeks from the time it started from Jeddah. The only fear is that the wild Arabs on the coast would bo tempted to loot the mail bine., thinking that they oratened something more valuable than letters. Jeddah Is between 600 and 700 miles from Suez. The =End two passengers of the Erma isecompanied Captain DEATHS BY B a NlNG.—Yeaterday Mr. Payne, the 077011.1101 the City of London, held an inquest at Chars Hospital on the body of Sarah Jones, aged 60, the wife of Mr. Edward Rowland Jones, a commission traveller, of Union-street, Hackney.

The natio our this line and the Altrinchem lino is worked by the Sheffield Company, and has been for the last 18 months, and it is to obstruct this portion of their traffic that the peoesedines alluded to above have been instituted by the North 14 esters. board. About • fortnight ago they set about 200 men at work to rip op the platform at London-road, when pawner. from Warrington, Al- triticham, and other places west of Manchester were est doers, and they have now formed &siding for empty carriages where it stood, on crossing which any pueenger le yearned that he will be prosecuted for treepase. Their claim for doing this is founded un the Wirt that at the nine of the construe lion of the South Junction and Altrincham line the latter company neglected to get a formal treader of the lend at the point of jtutetion from the London and North Western Com pany. Upon this point application will be made to parlia- meat to defiler the nghta of each company, and in the meantime proceedings are taking in Chan- oery to stay the abstraction. Another quarrel be tween the North Western Company and the Sheffield Company arises out of Me rights of the latter to a joint emu paney of the London-toad station itself. The London-road station was originally built by the North Western Compan y tee the joint use of the two companies, end the Sheffield co patty have used it for 17 years wader an agreement by they were made tenants in perpetuity, the apeman being made binding by parliamentary powers. In all expellees since the Sheffield were made joint tenants tor alterations of the station, the latter have joined. Bat a few years heck • working agreement was rude between the two tom paniee, by which, for the sake of economy, the traffic of the station wee worked by the North Western Company, the latter company appointing the booking clerks, porter% and other servant. Ma agreement wae:made only from year to year, and terminable by either company upon three months' notice. The arrangement was made in 1864, end in June, 1867, when the rupture occurred between the two compa nies, and the Sheffield, to conjunction with the Great Northern, commenced a compdition foe the London teak, nonce was given to the North Weetern fur the termination of the joint working of the station at the end of three months. In fact, the Sheffield Company claims tube placed in their former position ss joint tenants of the station. This the North Western Company have hitherto refuted ; and on Lb(' ground as well ea on the rights of the South Junction line, proceedings are taking in equity, until parkament can be to to define the rights of each company in the LIFE-BOAT SERVICES.

They then sailed, and rowed • distance of twelve tulles, when the life-boat approached the vessel in distress, which proved to be the Eliza, of South Shields. The lifeboat's crew found that she had been previously boarded by five men belonging to a fishing boat of Aldborongh. On going alongside the life-bost's crew were dismiseed by the muter of the vessel, although it was evident that the brig was in a daemons state, having a considerable quantity of water In her hold, and only one pump to make nee of. The coxswain and crew deovve much credit for launching their life-boat under the circumstances, for no other clan of boat could have dared to leave the shore, and although their services were &mimed, their object was the eame—the saving of the crew of the comet, by banging them to shore if necessary, or of assisting to bring them and their vessel into port by working the the pumps. Thus it not unfrequently happens that, after a lifeboat and her 'silent crew have made every effort to reach the dieablod chip, the !oat's services are insolently declined.

AN IXCIDANT OP SOCIAL LIFE AT NBIV YORK The New York papers report a very extraordinary and palatal affair which has lately become public there. Some time ago, • Mrs. Woodman, wife of a wealthy New Orleans merchant, while on a visit to Paris, became =- quaint= with an American adventurer, one of the New York faahionablee, named Garden. Furness, and the aequaintanee was assiduously prosecuted by him both on the Cmitinest and after the return of the eartke to America. Mr. Furness, it serm il nit v ialisfied with seducing tho wife, was desirous of rep) hie puree at the expense of the unsuspecting husband. ith infernal cruelty and pentevcrance he race oeeded in gainintr4e; mastery over the actions and very thoughts of his victim, who found herself com pelled to secedes her jewels and the liberal sums allowed her by . her la aanndd,, absent in the South, without at all satis fying_ the greed of her persecutor. She fled to her friends in the South, but threats of an =paean induced her to return to New York and to her paramour. Shortly after her return, however, the long-dreaded Vnoucment occurred. The Wend =Abed, returning unexpectedly to him room in the New York Hotel, discovered Furness there in company with his wife. The heartless deceiver made a very ridiculous exit., and the matter afforded subject for the usual gossip. But Mr. Woodmen being called to New Orleans on Wainer, and desirous ofhing • constraint upon his misguided* week-minded placed her in a private lunette asylum in Flushing, where she was detained until a few days ago. A petition was presented to Judge Roosevelt as the basis for the issue of a writ of habeas corpus, recriiring the proprietor of the Lunailo Asylum to proclaim tlw lady in court. This petition was promoted, on behalf of Mrs. Woodman, by Furness, her paramour. The counsel on the other side, who opposed the petition on behalf of the proprietor of the asylum produced the =fide ' vire of Drs. Barstow and MenrWa, aiding Mrs. Woodman to have been placed in the asylum by her husband in cense quests of her being in an excited and wandering state of mind, and furthermore testifying to the uniform kindness with which she had been treated during her confinement in that place. A communication was afro read from Mrs. Woodman askirg a stay of proceedings in the case until the arrival of her father or brother from New Orleans. The counsel for the petitioner, in answe r to the abovemientioned affidavits, read letters from Mrs. Woodman to Mr. Fur ness, written during her confinement in tke asylum, earnestly imploring him to help her to get out, and com plaining that she was kept there in prison by bar husband, as a punishment, or, as sbe said, "for We revenge." She addressed Furness, in these letters, in the most endearing terms of blandishment, aid expreeeed a desperate affection for him, entreating " Babie," as she wantonly called him, to contrive the means of her release from the asylum,. where she declared herself to be utterly miserublo. She sa id—" You cannot imagine what an awful place this is ; the outside is quite elegant, but that is all. Do not forsake me; at 01108 do something for me if you can ; but be careful and never let any sae know I have written to you until lam out. If I cried it would give them plc/mire, as all the maniacs scream and cry. 1 hate them so much I would not look sad to save them from where they ought to be—the d—l." The unhappy woman, if she wrote these letter!, earnestly protested that she was not deranged, or crazy and claimed, if she were really so, to be placed in a public institution, where a proper e medical certificate of her insanity would be required. letters, when produced in court, excited a great deal of com cZngon for her. The case was adjourned ; and at the next , the counsel for the proprietor of the asylum ten dered in evidence an affidavit 111•3111 to by Mrs. Woodman on the let of September last, in which she gave the history of the persecutions she had endured from Funnel, after her return to America in 1865, and down to lest August. She stated that he followed her from New York to New Orleans, extorting money from her , taking away her jewels, and com pelling her to sell hew embroidery and drones to supply hinr.dede mends, under painof beimexoosed by him, and being d and discarded by her h usb and. The following is a specimen : " He called on me repeatedly for more money, and upon my refusing to give it him he threatened to show to Mr. Wood man the letters which I had written him, and also a portrait of me which be had. lie told me the letters which I hed written him would cause Mr. Woodman to discard me, and that he (Mr. Fermis) would disgrace and ruin toe, unless I let him have all the money I could get. I had during that period an allowance from my husband of 100 doll, per month, all of which I gave Mr. Fumeee; be called on me for money to pay his board bill, which he said was about 280 dole. I had no money and told him so, upon which he not only threatened me, but actually beat me with violence—broke open ley warilrobe : and took away my jewellery end valuable laces.' He frequently beat her, and on one occasion almost strangled her in her own room. "During the last interview." Me odd. "Furness ag e ism So net the money by marks. oat MN Mils, am me sane./ teem . ea. by taking jewel . Also, he tweeted that he knew my father had given, me _2,600 dole. to buy diamonds or silver, and he wee OsteriaMed to have it. When he found he could not get money, he need violence, as I have stated. He mid, Your husband and your brother are coming here; there'll be a foss; and I mean to rain If first, and put you in the gutter, where I shall be. I hate you, end I hate all your family, because you won't behave to mew you should.'" He wrote to her letters of the most Week= kind, of which the following is a sample, alternating, however, with high* flown professions of his love .—" Damn you—curse you— may you never be but unhappy I Send me my things— everything, or I will =meanie make you open your bedroom door. I have depended upon you for what you promised, and unless you send it tome, or allow me to obtain it =me diately—now that I must have it, and have no time to go and borrow it—look oat I If you are too 111 to do what I ask, I will sae= you.

Send your answer immediately, or I will kick your bedroom door down, if you do not see toe alone." By this sort of treatment, the seducer had succeeded, for two years, in obtaining from his victim very considerable rums, and indulged in every luxury at her expense. The case, having been again adjourned, was suddenly brought to a conclusion, when the conned for the proprietor of the asylum produced the two following letters from Mrs. Woodman, which he read to the court. The fret wee addreseed to the judge, the Hon. Imam J. Roosevelt: " I wish the proceedings before you commenced by Mr. Furness in relation to me to be diseonthmed and ended. I am not in any way restrained of my liberty. Being entirely free, I intend to retire at ono ID the home of my patent. in Mississippi, with my brother, C. L. Thomas, who ii now present, " CAROLINE WOODMAN. " Nov. 3, 1867." The second wee the following : " Since being an inmate of Sanford Hall, I have been treated by the general and doctor with great Madams, lied also by every one connected with the bona. "Nov. 4, 1867.

THE UNRMPLOY RD AT YEW YORK, AND The leaders of the more moderate of the unem ployed at New York had en interview with the Mayor on the 11th, and presented a petition from GOO or 700 of the working class. The mayor, irt reply, told them that the Dowd of Central Park Commissioners had resolved to em ploy 1,000 men as teem as they could obtain money to pay them. He urged item to welt patiently a few days. Tho deputation then desired to know what they shmid do till they got work, as some of the persons whose names were on the list were, as they had already said, destitute, and the feet that they had wives and children rendered their necessities mere rimming. In view of these facts the mayor said that if they would furnish tine with a list of the ! names and residences of any who were in such exempe poverty as they had described, he would make a requisition upon the Al msh ouse Department to furnish them with the necessary supplies, which he had no doubt would be promptly forthcoming. The committee then promised to snake out such a list. In the meantime Tomldasequare, which was full of people from an early hour in the morn ng, was the scene of some thing very like a riot, and several ludicrous wenn occurred. In the midst of one of them the deputation returned from its interview with the mayor, heeded by some member of the police. The mob were them called to order, end the chairman announced that work would be given ea the fol lowing day, the comptroller having pi-mowed to advance 1,000 dots. pee dims until the point of 260,000 dots. should be attained. This statement gave satiefection to the meet ing, which was then addressed by the deputy.superinten , dent of police as follows : "I have the pleasure and satisfaction of coming before you to announce the result of a consultation with the police commissioners and the superintendent of police, and they have come to the conclusion that it is not the working men or mechanics who are disposed to create disturbances. We know that in all oommunities there is always a party that will do whet it can to take advantage of the working pea, and, therefore, in all our consultations we con sidered that any breach of the peace had nothing to do with the working man • but ineteed of that, if help were morimery to ua, in the performance of our ditty towards the state, the working men are the first in the community upon whom we would call for assistance. Therefore we have been vary forbearing with the working men, and I am au thorised to say that the police department will protect you in your rights—in the rights that belong to men, toe I know that the working men are men—and if, gentlemen, we are compelled to act extremely in any case, I amen you we will not interfere with you. - (Cheers.) I now, as the deputy superintendent of police in this city, my that I know the foiling of every policeman in it is in Career of the working men, and that they would this day do what they could to waist them, and that they will do it must cheerfully when there is scaudon." After the cheering had subsided, which burst keth at the conclusion of this speech, three cheers were proposed for the police, and enthimieetically responded to by the entire multitude. Mummer had been adopted for the defence of the animal. Meetings of: the unemployed had taken place at Phila delphia, at which the following resolution had ben pared: "Whereas, from the present alarming con'Zion of our financial affairs, that has led to en almost universal bank ruptcy, ruin and stagnation of all buainem, a lack of em ployment of labour has caused very many working men and th.. families to want for breed, the came of which needs no comment at this time, as it Is too apparent what has been done in deranging our currency cannot be undone ; we meet have relief or met for bred; the beet securities, oar city warrants, are selling at a discount, while one dollar of theme warrants has more real security than flee dollars of bank notes; we are in want of a safe circulating currency, sad we know dime better at this time then for our city corporation to tame city *smug& ; therefore, be it "Rmelved,—That we recommend our city corporation to issue 4000,000 of city warrants se :-1,000,000 of one dollars, 1,000,000 of two dollars, 1,000,000 of three dollars, and 1,000,000 of four dollars.

The reading was given, in connection with our excellent and thriving institu tion, in aid of the fund for the establishment of educational clauses, and the distribution of prizes among the members of our local institutions at a public examination in the course of next autumn. Joseph Gundry, Esq., introduced Mr. Macready, who, after • very able addrees on the import ance of education, and the defects in the usual system of teaching, commenced his reading by eel extract from Sterne. The piece selected was the pathetic story of Le Farm, and, read ea it was by Mr. Macready it touched the emotions of every bearer.

The despair of Lord Ullin, his , passionate cry of Come back!" to his daughter, when, alas I too late, his remorse, and all those feelings which the poet has so vividly pictured, were rendered still more moving and impetuous, by the effective delivery of the reader.
