IT is encouraging to see bow the speakers on the subject of the Employment of Women, at the recent meeting of the Society, auccessivela applied themselves to the essential point of the whole case—that of qualification for employments. The time is past now for petulant complaint of the hardship of women being unemployed or underpaid, as if the fault rested with the employing and paying party. The bad training, or want of training, of the women, is the one fatal mis chief. It is this which dooms so many to starva tion, which renders it so difficult for the well qualified to win their way against general prepos session, which almost justifies prevalent preju diem, and which therefore indicates the course to be pursued. As Lord SHAFTESBURY observed, the necessity of training women to their work is quite as great in the lower as in the middle and upper classes. Cooks, and housemaids, and sempstresses are as little fitted to do work which deserves good pay as the majority of governesses. From this it follows that, excellent and beneficent in their way as are such societies as that of which the Report was read on Friday, and such schools and offices as Miss Boocazirrrr's school, and the printing and law-copying offices, they can do little towards ameliorating the condition of poverty-stricken women till parents do their domestic duty better than they seem at all inclined to do at present. As the report related, the other day, the demand for employment which re quires no previous training, " easy " occupation, is beyond all management ; and on the other hand, we know from Miss NIGHTINGALE'S latest edition of her " Notes on Nursing," and from every other chief of any department of female labour, that there is, now and always, a pressing demand for labour and service which is not to be had. Well may these chiefs of female industry turn away with disgust from lamentations over the want of a field for the industrial employment of women when they themselves are inviting women to come and work for good wages, and can get none worthy of the hire ! Miss NIGHTINGALE declares, on her own part, that within three years she bad received " several hundreds of applications " to recommend qualified matrons or superintendents of ina.itu tiona, and nurses, for public institutions or private practice ; and the women were nowhere to be found. There is little use in urging the opening of new branches of employment while the public can point to the existing neglect of the special functions of industrial women. By all accounts, the case of domestic service is as bad as the nursing department. In the National Schools, there is loud and incessant complaint of the un fitness of female teachers for their business. These facts are admitted and duly dwelt upon in the societies which have risen up to help the very large class of hunger-bitten women who are one of the reproaches and perplexities of our time. The Report read on Friday urges upon parents the duty of not only provid ing a more careful early education for their daughters, but endowing them with a training to some special occupation which might put independence within their reach, and Mr. KINNAIRD moved a resolution on the duty of parents as to education, in this view. Lord SBA rrcezurzY also explained that one way in which the society worked was by urging it on the clergy of all denominations to rouse parents to do this justice to their female children. If this can be done with any considerable effect, the grand diffi culty will have been overcome, and our country women will have a clear prospect of doing well for themselves, without any championship on our part. There is plenty of demand for genuine ability in all times and nations, and in all stages of civilization. But how far we are from any realization of this prospect, any one of us need only sound the circle of his own accinsintanoes to lee. How many fathers do we observe providing the best attainable teaching for their little daughters, because they ought to pro- vide it at any sacrifice to themselves! How many mothers are them who make it their business to train their little girls to do in the beet possible ways whatever they attempt! and who are them selves qualified to train novices in household arts, from dusting the china to nursing the sick I How many fathers do we know who do not recoil from the very mention of professional pursuit or high and clear attainment of any sort for their daughters! D 0 we not see them haggling (per sonally or through their wives) with the managers THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 9, 1863. of colleges and superior schools to get the thing done cheap—to save money on the girls' education to spend on the boy's, or on no education at all ? Do we not hear them asking what use knowledge can be of to women t Do we not see them shrink ing from the remotest hint that their daughters may as well fill up their time with some genuine business, and win credit and money and indepen dence by it! Do we not see one conse quence of this in the coolness with which brbthers, and not a few fathers, appropriate, with or without thanks, the earnings of women who have used their own judgment about their mode of life, and have preferred work and inde pendence ? The parents' state of mind is so essen tially the main point, that whatever is done by external arrangements is important chiefly through its effect on the parental mind. It is a great thing in this view to have proved that, as Lord Susprz.ssusir said, " as copying clerks, as core " positors, and in many other capacities, these " women had proved themselves fully equal to " men :" for the credit and the convenience of this kind of qualification will soon convert the preju dices of those who may share in both the honour and the profit. Again, what is doing among the lower classes to qualify the little girls to be useful and valued workers in one or another branch of industry ? Are any pains taken, by anybody, anywhere, to train up girls to domestic service—which is the most obvious want of all? A few words of Miss NIOBTINGALZ'S (in the last edition of "Notes on Nursing") may suggest a practical course to kindly and con scientious persons who feel the pressure of existing evils, but do not see by what handle to grapple with it : " If all the crowd of female writers who have enlarged on the employment of women, on women's just right to a field, and to adequate pay for their labour, were each to train (or to put into the way of training) ten women to supply the demand which is already open, we can hardly hesitate as to what the superiority of the result would be." THE PRINCE OF WALES AT MERCERS' Hie Royal Highness the Prince of Wales honoured the Mercers' Company with hie presence yesterday morning, at their hall, in Che►psule, for the purpose of taking up his freedom in that most ancient of the twelve great City guilds. The master, wanlena, and court of assistant. met at noon. The old structure had put on quite a festive aspect in bottom* of the day, hennas being suspended from its walls, and a bank of flowering plants' rising from the dais prepared for the royal visitor. The worshipful the master, the Res. Markland Barnard, incumbent of Colney, himself the four teenth of his family who had held that office, was supported by a full court. The master nod court of assistant., attired in their scarlet robes of office, were in waiting at the Cheap aide gates to receive the Prince, when his royal highness. whose carriage had become blocked in that busy thorough fare, and had been turned by the police into Ironmonger lane, suddenly alighted at the private entrance, and as it were taking his entertainers in flank necessitated a some what ruffled reception. The gracious cordiality of the Prince ana the ready self-possession of the members of the court soon set matters straight, and his royal highness, accepting the conduct of the master, amended the grand staircase into the hall, where the royal presence was grace fully acknowledged by the ladies, who thronged both sides of the apartment. As the Prince ascended the stairs the band of the Artillery Company, under the conduct of Mr. Hird, played a few bars of the National Anthem. The Prince of Wales was attended by Lieut.-Gen. Knollys, Lord Alfred Hervey, and Captain Grey. His royal high aces having taken his seat upon the dais, the master standing upon his right band, and the other members of the court being stationed around, Mr. Barnes advanced with the books of the company, and read therefrom the various entries re ferring to the necessary suspension of the standing orders, and the proposal to confer the freedom of the company upon the Prince of Wsles, which was described to have been carried by acclamation in a full court. His royal highness having bowed his acknowledgments, Mr. Barnes administered the customary oath. The Rev. the Master then addressed the Prince in the following terms : May it please your royal highness—lt is • source of un feigned gratification to the master and wardens, to the court of assistants, and to the generality of this com pany, to have had the honour of enrolling your royal high ness among the members of the Mercers' Company—the first in rank and the most ancient in constitution of all the guilds in the City of London. Your royal high. ness will perhaps allow me to observe that the antiquity of the Mamas, as • metropolitan guild, may be traced as far back as the year 1172, and that the company received its incorporation in 1392 at the hands of his Majesty King Richard IL, who conferred upon it the distinguished honour of becoming one of its brethren. I will not run the risk of wearying your royal highness by enumerating the many eminent persona who as members of this company have done honour to it, and whose arms, arranged round these walls, bear testimony to the res pect in which they were) bold ? but I cannot pass lightly over such names as Sir Richard Whittington, the great artist of his own fortune, and the founder of those extensive charities which are happily more substantial than the romantic legend which is associated with his memory. Nor must I omit to mention Caxton, to whom we are indebted for that invaluable art of printing which has brought the nation from a state of practical darkness to one of intents , tual light. A word, too, must be given to Dean Colet, the founder of our great Pauline School, which has long been the nursing mother of students and poets, of warriors and divine'. The name also of Sir Thomas Gresham, celebrated for his magniEoent foundation of the that Royal Exchange, and for his confidential position in the council of the peat sovereign Elizabeth, must not be forgotten here. I come now, ear, to one who was memorable in history, Sir Thomas Boleyn, grandfather of your illustrious ancestor, Queen Elizabeth, who was herself a free sister of this company; and, passing on to modern days, we have the gratification of including among our members, by ancestral descent, that gallant *oldies', Lord Hill, who throughout the Peninsular war was second only to the indomitable Wellington. It only remains for me to express to your royal highness our deep sense of the honour you have condescended to confer upon us, and to assure you that we fervently trust an abundant measure of happiness may be in store for your royal highness and for your bean. l tiful and accomplished bride. May the bright example of your intellectual and high-minded father, whose early death the nation still deplores, ever influence your path through life. May you, under Gel, be the instrument to displace that thorny chaplet which the will of God has woven for your august mother, our beloved sovereign, whose personal attributes and whose domestic virtues so greatly endear her to her subjects ; and when, in the course of Providence, you are called to assume the throne of your forefathers, may you be spared not merely to rule over the millions which com pose this mighty 'intim), but to live and to reign within their hearts.' The Puns listened with marked attention to the Master's address, which was admirably delivered, and replied u follows :—" Muter, Wardens, and Court of Assistants, —I am glad to avail myself of the last oppor tunity which my stay in London afford' me of attending here this day to receive the freedom of your ancient and honourable company. The oldest of the City companies, the Mercers is hardly exceeded by any in the amount of its charities, or in its capabilities of doing good. How these powers have been exercised, the list of the foundations of the company and of the distin guished persona whom you have enumerated as benefactors and (re emen tall us. Amongst the latter the great Soy.. reign, who was herself a sister of the company, stands con spicuous, and oommerce and science appear equally to have lent their representatives to ennoble the Mercers' Company. To be connected with such names in the freedom and history of your company is an honour and a privilege I am proud to have conferred upon me. I thank you sincerely for the terms in which you have mentioned the names of my be loved mother and the Princess, and for the sappiness you desire for us both." The beautiful casket containing the freedom was now handed to the Prince, who examined it with evident ad miration and interest. A work of the highest goldsmith'. art, this casket is wrought in Gothic style, with pillars at each corner, the lid bearing the form of a Gothic cupola, very richly ornamented and surmounted by • crown in vari ous coloured enamels, from which rises the Prince of Wales's plume. The front is divided into three arches, or compartments, the centre one bearing the arms of the Prince and Plinceas of Wales in coloured enamels, sur rounded by tke Garter with its motto, "Hopi wit qua mat y pease." In the centre of the remaining arches are the arms of the Mercers' Companv, also in coloured enamels, with their motto, " Honor Deo!' On the reverse, divided in like manner into three arches, the central one bears the following inscription : " Presented to H. R. H. Albert Fdward Prince of Wales, 8.G., by the Corporation of Mercers, Premier Guild of the City of London, on the occasion of his royal highness ho nouring them by accepting the freedom of the company, July 8, 1863." This inscription is supported on either side by the mono grams of the Prince and Princess of Wales in pale blue enamel. The casket is based upon a slab of black Australian marble, ornamented with garlands of Bowels in gold, and the whole work is worthy of the artistic taste and skill of the successful candidate for its design and execution—Mr. C. F. Hancock, of Bruton street. The Muter now presented the various members of the court to the Prince of Wales, who presently retired to the banqueting room, where a civic luncheon, prepared by Mears. Staples, of the Albion, was served on the company's service of gold plate, with their accustomed precision and udgment. The Prince sat on the right of the Master, Mr. Johnson, the father of the company, • bale octogenarian, ococupying a seat upon his royal higheeis's left hand. During the repast the Master proposed "The Health of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, citizen and mercer." This toast havin/ been warmly responded to, his royal high ness took cordial leave of the Master and the several members of the company, and retired. THE MAORI CHIEFS AT THE ALHAMBRA.—The proprietors of the Alhambra—amongst other novelties-- have secured a band of seven Mami chiefs, who have just arrived from New Zealand to give illustrations of the manners awl customs of their tribe. They performed with great success in Sydney and Melbourne, end are likely to meet with • very gratifying reception In this country if they are not spoilt by bad managers and worse advisers. Two out of the sever are noble !specimens of the finest body of aborigines in the world, one chief being ►t least six feet two high, with • massive heed somewhat of the negro type. Two others are of the old type of natives, men with a Malay curt of countenance—two have a noble Jewish look, and one resembles • very handsome Portuguese. The shortest member of the bend is about five feet four, and they vary in ages from twenty up to eight and twenty. Only three of the number are teemed, though they all act with painted faces. Their performance—which includes Maori or Mown games, wrestling, launching the war canoe, and war denote —is highly interesting even to those who have not read Sir George Grey's interesting account of these people. They evidently possess great strength and activity, and two or three exhibit energetic pantomimic talent of a very high order. They are intelligent and sociable, and much pes tered, of course, with idle and curious visitors who look upon them as savages because they are not dressed in peg top trousers and paper collars. Before they have been in England a math they will be as able to take ore of them selves ea a Frenchman or a German, for they have already picked up a good quantity of English. Their entertainment is now divided into two parts, and these parte might be ex tended with advantage. from the corn and wine districts are very good indeed. _ _ Count de Ferronnays, the president of the Central Italy Railway Company, is just dead. He was the eldest eon of the count of his name, who was the intimate friend of Charles X., and at one time French ambassador at St. Petersburg. WiLiTH&R P.EPORT.-(THIS DAY.) 1111:11.11DAT, JULY 9.

THE REVOLUTION IN MAMAGABCAR.—We read in the Tempe of yesterday :—" The revolution of Tanarivo, described by the correspondents of the Monitesr, unites the features of a singular barbarism with those of au estate and corrupt policy. It would find its counterparts in the history of the Lower Empire. Nevertheless, its character and object do not yet appear quite clear. The report of M. Laborte is distinguished by a certain reserve, and among the causes of the movement it does not appear to us that he places in the foreground the hatred to foreigners ; he repre sents the catastrophe rather as the result of a party struggle or a palace revolution. Like many other reformers, the young K;sg,with excellent and liberal intentions, appears to have beet wanting in energy, tact, and judgment. Accord ing to one of the letters in the Mon ittur, the Qneen not only pronounced herself after her proclamation in favour of liberty of conscience, but also in favour of the treaties con cluded by the deceased King. The sequel will prove how much this declaration is worth." A Pole who has lately arrived in Galicia from Warsaw gives a curious amount of the constant anxiety of passengers on the Warsaw and Cracow Railway u to whether the train before the end of the journey would be abruptly stopped, thrown over an embankment, fired upon, or, by some unknown prooesa, blown up. On the morning of the traveller's departure, some of the passengers, who enjoyed the confidenoe of the railway official', uked, before taking their tickets at the Warsaw terminus, whether it was "a safe train" that they proposed to travel by. They were told that if no troop were conveyed they would have nothing to fear, and as there were no troops at the station the travellers took their places, made themselves mm. fortable, and went off in peace. It was not until they arrived at the next station they discovered that at the very last moment four luggage vans, containing a company of in fantry, had been booked on to the train ; and from this moment they were in torture, and saw peril in every flag signal and heard death in every whistle, until a few station" further on the soldiers got out. The members of the government were not una nimous in their opinion of Mr. Laird's bill yesterday for testing anchors and chain cables, Sir Robert Peel voting with the majority for the bill, and Mr. Milner Gibson in the minority against it. RAILWAY AND PUBLIC COMPANIES IN PAELLA- Hurr.—Yclerday, in committees of the House of Lords, the case for the promoters of the Edinburgh, Dunfermline, end Perth having closed, Mr. hlerewether, Q.C., opened the opposition for the ferry companies and other in terests against the bill. The parties having come to an arrangement the bill for the Peterborough, Wiabeach, and Sutton Railway, giving the Norwich and Spalding running powers over the line to Wisbeach, and Lynn and Sutton bridge were panted.. The promoters' can for the Hull and Doncaster extension of the North Eastern was con , chided, and that for the opposition was heard in evidence. The case for the North British Railway, to empower them to construct, subscribe for, and run steamboats, was finished in Mr. Woodd's committee, but the decision was postponed until the case of the Great Eastern Railway, also for steamboats, which was then taken, shall be concluded. Mr. Haman C.E., was the, principal wit ness examined in Mr. Adair's committee for the proposed line between Newry sod Greener.. A committee, consist ing of the Earl of Devon, chairman ' • FAA of Coventry, Marquis of Bath, Earl Cowper, and L ord Says and Sale, is appointed to take into consideration the London and No rth Western Railway Bills for new branch lines and additional powers ; London, Brighton, and South Coast (Tooting and Sut ton lines) ; Lancaster Canal, and Loodoa and North Western Railway ; Land Dranage Improvement Company ; and Port Erin Harbour. THE CROWN PRINCE AND PRINCINS OF PRUSSIA.— Loyal as the Prussians unquestionably are, it has only been after long provocation, and with • bitter feeling of regret, that they have at last withdrawn from their sovereign their affection and respect ; and those feelings which he has forfeited they gladly Mid grounds to fix upon his heir. Certainly Prince Frederick William is not the lees favourably looked upon by his future subjects because they see con stantly by his side the princess of that country where con stitutional liberty pre-eminently flourishes. The daughter ' of the Queen of England has won many friends in Prussia, as well as a high reputation for some of the best qualities that can adorn one destined to share a throne, and probably to exercise no inconsiderable influence oa the destinies of a great country. The intelligent classes here entertain • high opinion of her abilities ; the liberals speak of her with the most kindly esteem, because they are convinced that, so far as her will and power go, their constitutional rights run no risk at the hands of the English princes. And truly it is pleasant to an English eye to see how well this royal rose of Britain blooms, transplanted to these arid sands of Brandenburg. It is the rich and kindly nature of the plant that has overcome the asperity of the soil. Not without regret, or at least • tender sadness, does the daughter of England think of her native land—still hers though Ger many now claims her for its own. "I was jealous," she was heard to say, not long after her return from Italy, "to see BO many English at Rome, and to think bow few come to Berlin. There will always beat, we may be sure, under the ermine of Prussia's future Queen, warm heart for England. One has only to observe the prince's nuntenanoe and pleasant smile—as they really are, and not as they are misrepresented in prints sod photographs, of which I scarcely ever saw one that did him justice—to feel sure that he is neither of an evil disposition nor an unkind hus band. In her marriage, in her children, and in the truly maternal affection of her mother-in-law, the excellent Queen Augusta, the princess has found domestic happiness such as falls not to the lot of the majority of persons in her high position. With oontorions lees close the sympathy may be less, and diversity of political views may at times cast • shadow over relations otherwise friendly, bat such are minor sources of care, and can hardly be said materially to affect happiness. —Bforkirood's Mw me for duly. FOOUR'A.P PAPER. Everybody knows what "foolscap " paper is ; but few probably know how it came to bear this negular cognomen. When Charles I. found his revenues short he greeted certain privileges with a view to recruit them, amounting to monopolies' sod among these was the manufacture of paper, the excliwive right of which was sold to certain parties, who grew rich and enriched the government also at the expense of those who were obliged to use paper. At this time all English paper bore in water marks the royal arms. The parliament under Cromwell made jests of this law in every conceivable manner ; and, under other indignities to the memory of King Charles, it was ordered that the royal arms be removed from the paper and the " fool's cap and bells" be substituted. These in their turn, were also removed when the Rump parliament was prorogued; but paper of the size of the parliament journal still been the name of " foolecap."—deinican PePer• Tun Wotan Fisneaira—The fisheries in north Wales, especially that of the river Davey, afford at present immense sport to the angler.

A letter from Stockholm of the 2nd met. says : Some little alarm has been created here by the snivel of RUM= engineers at Bomarsund. It appears that in pros pect of a new campaign being undertaken in our territory, the Russian government has resolved to nuonstract the for tifications of that place, which were destroyed by a French corps d'armie during the last war. We are reminded that Beraarsund was fortified in the life time of the Emperor Nicholas, in order, as was then said. to overawe Sweden, and especially her capital, which is situated at so short a distance from the Russian poireessions of Bomsrsund. Every one, therefore, will per ceive that the population of Stockholm cannot see without concern the Russians again raising a military establishment in the neighbourhood of our capitsd. It is already suffi ciently manifest that Russia is at this moment engaged in raising military works on the Wanda of Aland in the Baltic, and that in defiance of an article in the treaty of Paris, which formally prohibits the construction of batteries or feria in those isles. It is affirmed that the cabinet of Stockholm is preparing a protest, which is shortly to be sent to St. Petersburg, and communicated to the five great powers, against the warlike measurer which Russia is now carrying out with a precipitation which it is difficult to comprehend, and which might within a given period be actively turned against Sweden.

Baron Stockmar died last night. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (IRON OUR OWN 001RXRPOIDIZT.) PA EIS, WEDNEEDAT EV2NING. M. de la Gueronniere's journal, replying to the warlike article in the Patrie of yesterday signed Delamarre, says shortly that the spirit of that arti cle is altogether "extraneous to the situation," and in no way justified by the policy of France. On the other hand, there is a talk of a pamphlet of semi-official progeniture which is to appear to-mor row, and will smell of powder very strong indeed. Notwithstanding, however, occasional paper demon strations, more or leas authorised, I continue to be of opinion that there will be no war this year, although there is not the least chance of the Polish question being solved by diplomacy. The Empress, now at St. Cloud, is about to resume her old role of " President of the Council of Ministers" during the Emperor's absence. If all we hear of the liberal tendencies of M. Duruy, the new Minister of Public Instruction, be true, her Majesty's allegiance to the Pope is likely to be sorely tried. He is the reputed author of a pam phlet against the temporal power, and since his elevation he has had a friendly interview with M. Ernest Renal], whose suspended lectures, it is thought, ho will authorise. The legal authorities in various parts of the provinces, acting under the not yet exhausted impulsion of M. de Persigny's administration, are tempting the patience of the judges with vexatious electoral prosecutions, which meet with but in different success. At Bohain, in Brittany, in a district where M. Malezieux du Petit-Freenoy, the opposition candidate, was elected, although not a single local journal dared to support him, a curiously paltry piece of revenge has been re sorted to. A man who posted his bills, and is naturally suspected of having voted for him, has been prosecuted for voting at all, on the ground that he was under a legal in capacity, having been convicted of apple stealing in 1847. The counsel for the defence stated that at the time of the conviction his client was a mere boy, that he had led an irreproachable life ever since, and, moreover, that having been constantly placed by the mayor on the electoral list, and having voted at every election from 1848 to 1863, he had not the least idea that he was contravening any law. The court felt the hardship of the case, and commented strongly upon the long-continued negligence of the mayor. It admitted that the defendant, an ignorant man who could n!ither read nor write, was free from all guilty knowledge ; but being of opinion that the text of the law left the judges no discretion, it convicted him in the nomi nal penalty of 20fr. This instance, which is but one out of thousands, strikingly illustrates the system which has been going on practically unchallenged fur years. The mayors stick unqualified persons on the lists when they think they are sure of them, and hold a prosecution over their beads in terorrem. At Amiens a billeticker of the Marquis de Mornay, the opposition candidate, has been prosecuted for having exercised his calling without giving notice to the authorities, and the correctional tribunal convicted him. But on appeal the court ruled that the electoral law of 1850 had in effect repealed the statute upon which the prosecution was based, and that within twenty days' preceding an election any person has a right to poet the addresses of a candidate. This decision is very important. The Bourse has been hesitating, and leaves of with no change iu the Rente. Mobilier fell 3fr.75c., and railways were rather lower. The accounts Wbt Court.

Mr. and Madame Goldscbmidt's second perform &nee of this celebrated cantata was given at St. James's ball last night The first, • few weeks ago, was highly interesting and successful ; and the impression it then made was shown by the crowded audience who last night filled the hall, and applauded the performance with enthusiasm, notwithstanding the physical endurance of breathing the suffocating air of • hot concert-room in this sultry weather. The vocal performers, in addition to Madame Lind•Goldschmidt, were Madame Lemmens-Sherrington, Mies Lascelles, Mr. Montem Smith, and Mr. Weiss. The instrumental orchestra and chorus were 250 strong. Mr. Lindsay Sloper was at the piano, Mr. Hopkins at the organ, and the performance was conducted by Mr. Otto Gold schmidt. The princip►l soprano recitatives and airs were sung by Madame Lind-Goldschmidt. She was in full pos session of her vocal powers ; and her grandeur of style and brilliancy of execution were as conspicuous as ever. The other singers exerted themselves with great effect, and re ceived their frill share of the applause liberally bestowed by the audience. The manner in which this beautiful work, which bad almost passed away from the memory of the present gene ration, has been revived by Mr. and Madame Goldachmidt does them the highest honour. Till this year it had not been performed entire in London for half a century. During the days of the Ancient Concerts, the value of which was not appreciated by the public till after we bed lost them, detached pieces from this cantata were frequently sung by the greatest vocalists of the day ; but since the Ancient Con certs were suffered to parish by neglect, we cannot remem ber that • single note of this charming music has ever been heard in public. Now that Jenny Lind and her accom plished husband have, by these performance., shown how beautiful it is—how worthy of the genius of the greatest I musician Q,; KIM nee tow—we can scarcely suppose that the English public, who pekes so great a veneration for the name of Handel, will suffer one of his Ante, works to fall epic into oblivion. A monthly periodical, under the title of The Work of the C4ristein Carrels of Bout sad Abroad (Stroban), contains a singular amount of autheotio sad impartial informant.° about the movemeats of the chards in every quarter of tbs world, and those of all the dis senting or presbrterian bodies; including a word or two occasionally oboist Roams catholic missions also. To say one desirous of keowing the road cceditios of things, re garded from a very protestant point of view, yet stated with groat fairness, the publication would be of great sarios. RAILWAYS IN INDIA. This morning wee issued the report to the Beastery of Mate for belie in Council an railways in India for the years 1862 and 1863, by Juland Danvers, r eq ., government director of the Indian Railway Companies. The progress made towards the eompietion of the lines has, upon the whole, been eatidactory ; 747 miles had, on the 31st December last, been added to the 1,6091 which were open for traffic on the Ist of January, 1662. Since the beginning of this year 184 miles have been finished, making a total of 2,528 miles upon a hich passengers and goods are now being conveyed. Th e greatest distance traversed in a direct line without inter. ruption is on the East Indian Railway from Calcutta to Be mires, a length of 540 miles ; the next greatest is the trans peninsula line from Madras to Beypore, which is 405 ; and the next from Bombay to Shapers, across th e Blues Ghat, a length of 295 miles. Several works of great importance and magnitude occur on the lines which have been recently opened. The ascent by the Great Indian Peninsula Railway of the ;There Ghat, between Bombay and Pam* comprises some of the most tumid& ble of thew In • distance of 15 miles the railway climbs a height of 1,831 feet, the dialculties in its coons being overcome by such • series of cuttings, tunnels, viaducts, and embankments as is hardly t o be found within the lame space in any other work in the world, and is only rivalled in India by those ou the sister incline over the Thull Ghat. In addition to the work done to enable 930 miles of new line to be opened, fair program has been made on the unopened lines, and it is expected that in the course of the present year between 600 and 700 miles more will be reedy for tra. In the course of the pest year there bas been an expendi. tore of 5,810,852/. ; thatin England having been 1,854,2891., and in India, 3,956,5631. The amount raised by the com panies, in addition to the sum of 2,515,4964, which stood to their credit on May 1, 1862, was 5,748,5671., so that on May 1 instant, there was • balance of 1,943,2114 available for the current year's expenditure. It has been estimated that the expen diture for the year 186364 will he 2,012,0001. is England, and 4,189,0001. in India, and that 5,293,630/. will be rained to meet it, in addition to the balance of 1,943,2111. The amount which had been raised on the 30th April, 1862, by share capital, was 31,306,6414, by deben ture', 11,756,2494 ; tUa4 43,064,8901. On the 30th April last these amount'. stood :—Share capital, 36,156,2441; de bentures, 12,062,7951. ; total, 48,218,0394 THE SANITARY STATE OF THE ARMY IN YID - 1A: This morning was leaned the report (dated May 19) of the commissioners appointed to inquire into the sanitary state of the army in India.

The inquests upon the bodies of the three children, Matilda, John, and Alfred Cole, who were drowned by their mother in the Kennett and Avon Canal at Bathampton, near Bath. as reported in our columns yesterday, sod also upon the body of the unhappy woman, Sarah Cole, who committed suicide at the same time, were held at the George Inn, Bathampton yesterday, before Bruges Fry, Esq., coroner for the eastern division of Somerset. Great interest was felt in the case, which is rendered even more melancholy from the fact that the sad occurrence seems to have been in some measure the result of the dissipation of the husband. The inquest-room was crowded during the proceedings. A verdict was returned that the mother, Sarah Cole, had taken away her owe life and the lives of her children, being at the time of unsound mind, memory, and understanding. A S c orer DEPUTATION IN A " you never hear of the trick be played upon the deputation from the synod of Cleishmaclaver, while on their way to the annual meeting of the General Assembly? The brethren had started by coach at en early hour, and had to travel 10610 twenty miles before they reached the inn where breakfast err prepared for them. The keen air of our northern bills sharpens the appetite; and when the brethren drove up to the inn they were almost famished with hunger. " Now, gentlemen, just ten minutes for breakfast, said the coachman, as he entered the landlady's snug little parlour to have his own. Ten minutes ! The time was short, so they must make the moot of it. They rushed into the room where breakfast was weed, end there, basking his ample person before the fire, stood a portly gentleman, dressed somewhat like a dignitary of the church of England. Their appetite was keener than their curiosity, so they scarcely looked at the stranger, but concentrated all their attention on the viands. Hall way in the air before the morsel had reached their lips, their hands were arrested by a sudden cry of "Stop!" It was the supposed dean or bishop. " Good heavens, gentlemen he exclaimed, " have you so far forgotten your sacred pro fess/on as to partake of food without invoking a blessing The brethren looked like schoolboy, detected in some flagrant fault ; but before they had time to remonstrate or explain, the same voice exclaimed, in a tone which en forced obedience, "Let us pray." They instinctively sprung to their feet, and assumed an attitude of deconeis devotion, while the stranger offered up a prayer which, they themselves admitted, was superior in unction and ex pression to those of Dr. Drawlitout himself. He had only one fault—be did not know when to stop. The minute. rolled tepidly away, but the stream of fen ent supplication flowed on without a break. They had a terrible struggle the brethren had, as they closed one eye in devo tion and ogled the savoury viands with the other ; but whenever a hand approached the table, it drew back before the stern glance of the stranger, which seemed to compte bend them all. The sufferings of Tantalus ware nothing to the sufferings of the deputation from the synod of Cleish maclaver ; but all things must come to an end. "Time is up, gentlemen," said the coachman, opining the door, and wiping his mouth with the air of a man who has enjoyed his breakfast. The appearance of the coachman and the sound of his familiar voice broke the spell ; but there was 00 time to be lost ; the horses were shaking their herds and wing the ground, in their impatience to start ; so they had to take their seats, and to turn breakfast KW dinner into one. " Was that the Bishop of D said one of the famished brethren. "That the Bishop of le—l" said the coachman, contemptuously.
