PRAY FRS FOR SERVANT MAIDS. (From the floe.) E , . relic knows how difficult it now in to find .1 s. i ant maids. It is generally acknowledged that „....tic..ue nu longer the faithful and obedient vassals by I.e. jot, ions generations of employers were served. The .1 is patent, but the remedy has not yet ,eale.l itself. Various palliatives, however, have tiggested, and several experiments have been .ele with a view to discovering the proper means ameliorating the present uncomfortable position of t. and mistresses. Among other attempts, an appeal Is en addressed to the religious feelings of the inferior „ %Well is now giving so much trouble, and a little Manua of Prryer for Servants" has been lately published v inch cannot fail to recommend itself to the sympathies of least, by whom servants are employed. The duties implicit obedience, of respectful attention, of cheer , ! content, are dwelt upon so frequently by the coin ; • of the Manual, and the possibility of the ployer doing anything wrong us no carefully i.t out of sight, that the book cannot fail to produce the servants' hall such an effect as is likely to with the drawing-roosn's approbation. " May I willingly and with good temper the wishes of my ..ithly master anal mistress "is the burden of each prayer. eery night and morning a blessing is to be invoked u p o n the fluidly which is good enough to employ the supplicant. Having performed this duty, she is then, but not till then, sllosed to think of her own domestic circle. " Bless all who live in this house. May great grace rest upon the heads of the family," is the regular opening en treaty. " Bless and convert all my relations" is the after :bought, referring to the comparatively unimportant heathens at home. No request that roasters may be liberal, migresses indulgent, ever finds a place in these pages. No servant is supposed ever to wish for material benefits, or to he liable to be discontented. Her desires are bounded by suchaspirations as: "May I be careful to keep myself dean and neat ; but guard me against vanity and the love of finery." If ever she feels inclined to fret, she is urged to exclaim : " I bless thee that I was not born in • heathen country, where Thy Name and Thy Sabbaths are unknown ; nor in Popish lands, where Thy holy day is constantly profaned, and saints and images usurp the place of the one and only Mediator," ; Ac. If she is suffering "under wrongful rebuke," she 'is merely to cry in secret, " enable me to show, all my future conduct that this reproof is und eserved;'anal when she is out of place, she is to seek, above all things, a home where she may have the privilege "of kneeling with the family." l'erhaps the finest stroke of policy to be found in the volume is the prayer which she is to use under such circumstances—" And in my search for another home may my chief desire be for Christian privileges, rather than for large wages." Surely all employers ought to feel deeply indebted to M. C. C., the shrewd compiler of this subtle little publication. We should not be surprised, however, if servants were to think it worth their whale to draw up a " Manual of Prayers for the use of Masters and Mistresses." It might form a very suggestive volume.

There has been an increase of barometrical since satin - day, but it is now generally decreasing. Wlnde bare backed north in the and west, hut In the south of the British Isles are still southwesterly Weather generally overcast with rain, a loch has been conaiderable. The (Stark rly Review (new number) says that though Mr. Disraeli is the leader of the conservative, in the Houseof Commons be has never represented their opinions on the question of parliamentary reform, and the measure of '59 was introduced by him in opposition to their wishes and convictions. " Though," adds the writer, "it failed in his hands, it left behind it • breach in the foundation of the constitution which has never since been closed. It was the opinion of the most sagacious statesmen at the time, and is now generally admitted, that bad the conservatives then refused to introduce • reform bill, and dissolved parliament on that issue, they would have obtained a ma jority, and probably • prolonged possession of power." Mr. Disraeli does not possess the con fidence of the party he leads. He is not always happy at a set speech; but " when called upon suddenly to con centrate his powers fur some great effort, frequently, as he' lightens on the subject,' electrifies his audience by flashes of wit, satire, eloquence, and argument, combined with a skill that never fails, and governed by a self control that never falters." The government and the con servative party, the Quarterly thinks, now occupy a hu miliating position. Since — its last number, the Edinburgh Review has seen reasons for conquering its doubts as to Mr. Gladstone's fitness for the post of liberal chief, and now muds him as "preeminently the man to re-constitute the liberal party on a broad and comprehensive basis ;" sad is sanguine enough to believe that the time is not far distant when it will be in his power to form a vigorous administration.

N division, Kingsland, drunk 1, attempting to commit suicide 1-2. N, Islington, drunk and incapable 1 suspected persons 2 —3.

DISGRACEFUL AND RIOToUS PEW:ENDINGS AT HENDON RACES.—A CONSTABLE STABBED. . . _ Charles Bird, a strong, stalwart navvy, was charged with being drunk and disorderly, and assaulting the police. Constable Valentine, 714 A, said—About 7 last evening he was on duty at the races at Hendon, and had his atten. tion drawn to a large crowd, in the midst of which was the prisoner fighting with another navvy. He requested them desist, when the prisoner, making use of an oath, struck him on the mouth and severely cut his upper lip. Pri soner then knocked him down, and he was surrounded by about 30 or 40, and mast brutally kicked. Had it not been for the timely arrival of other officers he must have been killed. Ripon, 72 Q, stated he was on duty at the same place, and saw the prisoner fighting. The prisoner knocked last witness down and kicked him. There had been • regular riot at the races. He assisted to take the prisoner. Sergeant Squires, 18 S, said on the previous afternoon there was an assemblsge of between 300 and 400 navvies, who are employed upon the Midland Railway works, and they caused a fearful scene of rioting at the races. At one time they took complete possession of the Upper Welsh Harp public-house, kept by Mr. Rotting, who suffers extreme annoyance from them. They broke the windows, and did immense damage. An inspector was moat seriously injured, and a constable was stabbed in the beck, and is now in the hospital. The small force of police on duty there are powerless to act against overwhelming numbers of roughs. Mr. Knox said it was too bad that one or two wretched policemen should have to fight against 400 such roughs. The prisoner must go for one month. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. STEALING A CONSTABLE'S TRUNCHEON. Dennis &dhow., a rough-looking young fellow, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing from the person of Police-constable Weal, 204 C, a truncheon of the value of 7s. tid., the property of the Commissioners of Police. Thomas Weal, 201 C, said—On the lit of this month I was taking a man into custody in Crown-street, Soho, for being drunk and disorderly, when the prisoner and a number of others attempted to rescue the man, and in the struggle my truncheon was taken from me, and there is a witness present who saw the prisoner take it. George Poland, a boy, said—l saw the prisoner go be hind the constable and take his truncheon from the case, put it underneath his waistcoat, and make off. Prisoner (in a bullying tone)—Why did you not tell the police then? Mr. Tyrwhitt—Conduct yourself properly ; your bonne. ing wont do here. NVfitness—Because there were not enough of the police present. There were seven of you. Prisoner—l did not take it. The constable has a spite against me. I have been about, and why did he not take me before? Constable—Because I could not find you. Prisoner—l say I did not take it. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Then you will go for trial. The prisoner was committed. PLATE ROBBERY. _ _ James Reilly, charged with stealing some silver spoons and forks, the property of the Hon. Thomas Charles Bruce, of Hertford-street, Mayfair, was again brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt. The evidence showed that the footman to the Hon. T. C. Bruce left the pantry for a moment, the window being closed, when he heard a noise resembling the rattling of plate and on hastening back to the pantry be found the window open, some of the plate gone, and the prisoner standing in the area. The pnsoner as soon as he saw the footman made off, dropping three forks in his flight, and on being pursued into Hydmpark, and brought back, some more spoons and forks were found in his possession. The prisoner was committed for trial. SOUTHWARK. CONVICTION OF A NoUSZBRZACNN. Jame, Laming, a smart-looking young fellow, described as a gentleman's servant, was placed at the bar before Mr. Woolrych for final examination, charged with breaking and entering No. 2, Buckingham-gate-mews, and stealing therefrom a livery great coat, pair of boots, two shirts, a set of blacking brushes, and other property. George Baker, coachman to Mr. G eo rge Lyons, of Hedley Park, and 2, Buckingham-gate, said that the family were residing at the latter place, and he with his wife lived over the stables in the Mews at the rear. On Monday night the 15th be securely fastened the stables and retired to rest, leaving the coat, boot and property produced in the harness - room . On the following morning he discovered that the place had been entered, and he mined the things named in the charge. The coat and brushes were his master's property, but the other things belonged to witness. Mr. Woolryeh asked how the stable had been entered. Witness replied that there were no 'narks of violence about the place ; therefore he suppoeed a false key bad been used. Thomas Jenkins, 204 P, said that about 6 o'clock on Saturday morning he was on duty in private clothes, when he met the prisoner in the Borough carrying a large bundle towards London-bridge. He stopped him and asked him what he had there, when he replied, " What's that to your and endeavoured to get away. Witness, however, seised hold of him and forced him up a court, when he opened the bundle and found in it the livery coat produced and the other property. The prisoner then said that he was a gentleman s servant, and had just come from Dorking in search of a situation, and that he carried his clothe,' about him to do odd jobs. Witness then took him into custody, and afterwards ascertained from whence they had been stolen. ne prisoner pleaded guilty, asking his worship to deal with him at once. Mr. Woolrych sentenced him to six months' hard labour in Wandsworth House of Correction. WANDSWORTH. ZITILAOIDINAST CHARGE OF ROBBERY IN A RAILWAY CARRIAGE. A well-dressed man, who gave the name of William erudite', and described himself as a horse dealer of Jacob's Well-mews, Charles-street, Manchester-square, was charged with picking a woman's pocket in a railway car riage. Mr. Haynes defended. Rebecca M'Cann, a widow, living near Wbitechapel Church, said—Las; evening she came from Chatham and rode by a train in which the " Rifles" were. She was sit ting in • corner of the carriage and the prisoner was sitting opposite to her. One of the Rites was sitting on her left hand. About twenty minutes before the train reached Clapham she felt in her pocket for her ticket and her purse was then We. About ten minutes afterwards she put her hand again in her pocket and the purse was then gone. She looked up and accused the pri soner with having picked her pocket. Before that he had been rude to her. He kept treading on her toes and put ting his foot between her legs, but as she was not like a giddy girl she did not make any remark. When she ac cused him of stealing her money he said he was willing to be searched. . . . _ In reply to the magistrate, the witness said she did not feel his bands shout her. She wee sober. The purse had not been found. __ Mr. ingl;;;;LWhy do you select him in preference to the Rifles? Witness—Because they were scattered about the carriage. The prisoner was nearest to me. Mr. Ingham—l don't exactly know how he could get your purse without putting his hands about you. Evidence was also given to the effect that the only money found upon the prisoner was the sum he named as his own. A search had been made at the station and along the line, but the puree, containing a florin and some silver, could not be found. The prisoner was then discharged. Prosecntrix—What am Ito do? I have no money to take we home, and I have two children. _, --. Mr. Ingham—l am very sorry for you ; but I cannot conseientioualy my that he took your puree. The parties then left the court.

The extensive waterside premises, known as the Albert Steam-mills, situate in Iturdett-street, Limehouse, were totally destroyed by fire this morning. These mills, which were two storeys high, and belonged to Messrs. Taletne and Co., emery and glass paper manufacturers, had a considerable frontage, were fitted up with costly steam machinery, and contained • large quantity of goods and rough stock. The flames illuminated the whole district. and could not be entirely extinguished until the mills and machinery were totally destroyed, the only things saved being the books and vouchers, which were deposited in a fire-proof safe. As to the origin of the fire, nothing that can be depended upon can be learns at present. When the mill was closed last night it appeared perfectly safe and free from fire.

New ZEALAND EttlonerioN.—The ship Lanca shire Witch, 1,574 tons register, sailed from London on the 2nd inst. for Canterbury, New Zealand, with a full complement of cabin passengers, and about 110 in the steerage. Of the latser 85 were government passengers, and amongst them 52 single women, to whom free passages were given. For some years peat the provincial govern ment of Canterbury have carried on a continuous emi gration from this country. Up to two years ago "assisted passages," so called, were given to men of different call ings, part of the cost of passage being given by the government, and the rest paid by the emigrant either here or in the colony. Within the last two years the gold helds of Canterbury have attracted some 45,000 men from Australia and elsewhere, and though ordinary labour con tinues to command the ordinary rates of wages, viz., 64. to 7.. a day, or 451. to 601. a year, with board and lodging, the requirements of employers are so far met from these sources as to render it unnecessary to continue on an ex tended scale the assisted emigration of men from this country. The assisted passages are therefore limited now to • small number of shepherds and find-class farm work men. But the demand for single women servants appears to be greater than ever, and to this class free passages are given. If a ship brings from 50 to 100 single women, they are all engaged within two or three days after they arrive at the Immigration Barracks. In 'the original settlement of Canterbury the usual rates of were for housemaids and general servants are said to be from 251. to 351. a year. Cooks 301. to 501.. Recording to qualification ; and at Hoketika and other towns in the gold fields, 21. to 21. 10s. per weeks commonly paid by hotel lamas and other for the same duo of service. FOREIGN No. I.

RESPITE OF THE CULPRIT ANDERSON. —The Under-Sheriffs of London have received a communication from the Home Secretary respiting, during her Majesty's pleasure, the sentence of death passed on Charles Ander son, • Swedish sailor, at the last sessions of the Central Criminal Court, for the murder of • fellow-seaman, named Marnchein, on board the ship Baby Castle, on a voyage from Penang to England in November last. THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS. —The winds have been cold and boisterous, and although the days have not been without occasional sunshine, the rain and the low temperature have in • great measure been more than • set-off against the effects of the sun's rays. But notwithstanding this, vegetation has, during the last week, wade considerable progreu, and our woods, fields, pas tures, and hed gerows , have perceptibly become more or less . verdant and redolent of spring.* The reports of the prospects in agricultural districts are satisfactory. The lambing has gone on well. The wheat and other grain ' crop, seem in promising condition, and a warmer and more genial temperature appears to be the one thing now wanted to bring all things to a favourable state. The pastures look fresh and well, and • little warm weather would soon set them growing vigorously. On the whole, perhaps, things are somewhat backward, but not injuriously so. Dunng the put week the fruit trees have come out in luxuriant blossom, and show • rich promise for the summer and autumn, should no unkind frost intervene before the " fruiting."—Sussex Advertiser. WHALES IN THE FORTH. —For some days the fishermen on the south side of the Frith of Forth have been in a state of expectancy from the rare appearance in their waters of a shoal, variously estimated at from 160 to 200, of bottle-nosed whale*. At length, on Fri day, they came so far into 31usselburgh-bay that the Midlothian Coast Artillery Volunteers, who were practising at Portobello with their big guns, fired once or twice at the shoal, without, however, any of the shots taking effect. Next morning • Preston pans boat fell in with the shoal near that village, and gave chase. They succeeded in striking one of the fish with the harpoon, and, after some blowing and lashing of the water, th e animal made up the Firth, followed by the shoal, and dragging the boat by the line. The rapid passage of the boat, without sail or oars, drew the attention of the fisher men on shore as the boat passed Leith Pier in the direction of Newhaven-bay. The Newhaven fishermen were imme diately on the alert, and went out in their boats with har poons, hatchets, and other weapons. The fish which the Prestonpans boat was pursuing became last to its first captors, but, turning inshore about Ws die, fell • prey to other hands. Another whale, however, was soon struck, and was ultimately carried off by the Prestonpans boat. As the whole shoal accompanied the first wounded whale, • grand opportunity arose for a general capture. Captain Anderson, of the steamship Queen, lying at Granton with his crew, manned three boats and suc ceeded in hemming in the herd into the corner formed by the east breakwater of Granton, and for the time there was a prospect of making a clean sweep. The eagerness of the Newhaven fishermen, however, broke up the shoal, but after an exciting and protracted battle viewed by many hundred spectators, 16 whales were brought ashore at New haven and seven at Canton. One of the whale. measured 25i feet long and 11 feet in girth. The smallest of those captured was about nine feet long. - - • Btsurrn.—A discovery has recently been made in South Australia of a lode of bismuth, samples of the metal being now to be seen at the Melbourne Exchange, to which place it has been sent from the neighbourin g colony. This metal is very valuable. if found in quantity, and it is stated that the lode disoovered contains abund ance of rich stuff, but being situated about 200 miles in the interior some serious difficulties in the cost of carriage have been encountred. Trouble was also experienced in getting the metal smelted, but a quantity of it was sent to Ragland in ingots a few days ago, and it is expected the supply will be kept up... Melbourne Aix.

Very little business, however, has since been transacted, the dealers being indisposed to enter into fresh operations of importance pending the receipt of further prices from Paris. The variations during the rest of the day will almost entirely depend upon these quota tions, which are properly regarded as forming the best index as to the prospect of peace or war on the Continent. Consols and most of the British railway and foreign stocks are unaltered. Spanish Passive and Turkish of 1.80 meet with some in quiry.
