FINE ARTS. SIVIETV OF PAINTERS IN WATER•OOLOUI39. The members of the old Society of Water-colour !Widen finding themselves with their fine new spacious spiry lying idle through the months of the dead season, ' very wisely determined to make the experiment of a water exhibition of sketches and studies. This very ietereeting collection was to-day opened to the public. le speaking recently of the winter exhibition which lims for some yawl past been arranged by some of the principal dealers in modern pictures, we alluded to the want of some effort on the part of the artists themselves to weeds supporting an exhibition at this time of the year. The Water-colour Society seem to have perceived this, and with a nand judgment of the public taste they have made their exhibition so far distinct from the grand display of the art i• the season, es to restrict it almost entirely to Wadies and drawings. These, though showing the finished touch of the master with a vividnew and life often lost in more elaborate work, differ from the careful productions of the studio—they have a sham of their own, akin to the pleasure of seeing our friends ia the ease and tuyhge of home and the fireside. In this way one seems to get on more familiar terms with the swaine feeling of the artist ; we see his choice and how he reeds usture's great book. In the highly wrought picture it is constantly observable that an artist is not so much him self ; he paints in the stilts and gets ambitious over rich eiskaaring, dreaming of the great sensation his work is to pro due:, rather than painting Inc the love of the thing. Hence the delightful sensibility that marks so many of these studies and sketches, and the stamp of truth, combined, as it is sure to be, render an exhibition of this kind particu larly pleasing and refreshing, sod we commend the good taste of the society which has suggested such a collection of the choice first thoughts and chosen spoils that enrich the private portfolios of the water-colour painters.

A court-martial assembled on board the Victory, at Portsmouth, on Saturday morning, to try James Kent, private of the Royal Marines, late of her Majesty's gunboat Janus, for desertion from that vessel on or about the 28th February, 1861, while at Shanghai, China. The court com prised Captains Coots (President), Connolly, Hire, Lacy, and Commander Bonham, with Mr. R. Hoskins as officiating Judge Advocate. Prisoner was granted leave to go onshore; he never returned, and there was an entry made on the leave book as follows, " 66th company, James Kent, Feb. 22, 1861, deserted to Chinese rebel army, from leave at Shanghae." The usual R was placed against his name. He was afterwards arrested ender singular circumstances. While the allies were capturing Tsing-poo, Kent was just about to be thrown from the battlements and shot as a Chinese rebel, when he declared that he was an English. man. In defence he entered into". long statement, showing that he went on shore and became intoxicated, and on re pining his senses, found himself on board a junk, aboutthirty miles up the river from Shanghae. He was taken before a Mandarin and ordered to fight for the rebels, but he refused. His captors then put a band round him next his skin, and chained him to a wall, where he was kept, almost sta rved, for fifteen months. He made three unsuccessful attempt' to escape. On the city being taken, he was made prisoner, and taken to where the breach had been made, where he saw some English aoldiett, whom he told he was a marine. He urged these facts in his favor.r, and begged the court's consideration on ac count of his long imprisonment and ill-treatment. He used every exertion to return to his ship but failed. The court I cleared to deliberate, and on returning . found the charge of desertion not proven, but were of opinion that prisoner was absent without leave on the day referred to in the charge, for which they sentenced him to six weeks' imprisonment, with hard labour, in Winchester gaol, and to forfeit two days' pay. SCli IDE IN A BARRACK-RODE. —AII inquest wag held at Portsmouth on Friday evening on the body of a private of the 2nd battalion of the 60th Rifles, named John Slayton, who committed suicide under the following cir munstances. !t appears that the deceased was absent from his quarters at the Cambridge barracks all Wednesday night without leave. He returned on the following morn ing, and was ordered by the colonel to have his leave stopped for six days as a punishment for his misconduct. He ate his dinner shortly before one o'clock, after which be was seen reading his Prayer-book, He afterwards appeared to commence cleaning his accoutre ments, when suddenly the report of a rifle was heard, and it was found that the deceased bad discharged the weapon at himself. The ball had plumed through his cheek and head into the ceiling of the room. Several 1.-en were in the room at the time, together with the sergeants and corporals. Deceswed had been in the service about five years, and bore an excellent character. The jury found that the deceased shot himself, but that there was no evidence to show the state of his mind at the time be committed the act. SHOOTING AT RIFLE RA Noll3.—The following circular has been issued from the War-office :—" War orrice, Nov. 14, 1862.—Sir,—The attention of the Secre tary of State for War has been drawn to certain fatal or serious accident* which hare lately ea-lured at rifle ranges belonging to volunteer corps, and he regrets to learn, from the reports which he has received, that in several oases those accidents arose from neglect of the precautions prescribed by the regulations for the instruction and practice of musketry, by the carers sod non-commis sioned officers whose duty it was to enforce them. Sir George Lewis, therefore, requests that you will impress upon the adjutant and sergeant-instroctors under your command the necessity of observing strict regularity and discipline when in charge of Bring parties; and that you will point out to them that they will be in future bald senously responsible for any deviation from the regulations of the service in which they may be concerned. I am also to inform you that, while Sir George Lewis desires that every facility ahould be afforded to persons of all classes to acquire a knowledge of the use of the rifle, he is of opinion that the safety of the public requires that indiscriminate private practice at volunteer rifle ranges should not be per mitted, and he, therefore, requests that you will take steps to regulate the practice at the ranges under your control, so as to ensure the presence of an officer or non-commissioned officer on all occasions when tiring is going on. I am further to observe that the practice of employing boys as maker' at butts is highly dangerous and improper, and to request that you will take care that none but non-commissioned officers, or experienced volunteer, act in that capacity at the ranges belonging to the corps under your command.— I have the honour to be, sir, your obedient servant, Ue Guar AIM B. 1701." TERRIBLE COLLIERY EXPLOSION AND LOSS OP LIFE. NEWCASTLE, SATURDAY. _ _ . Between 5 and 6 o'clock this morning, an explo sion occurred at Walker colliery, situate about three miles from Newcastle. There were about thirty men in the pit at the time of the occurrence, of whom fifteen have been brought up alive, though they are injured from the effects of gas. Seven are known to be dead, and eight more are in the colliery, and have not been seen, but there is not the slightest chance of their being got out alive. The pit has two shafts, the upcast shaft being about a quarter of a mile distant, near Walker factory. Before seven o'clock three men were brought up at the upcast shaft. They were named Chambers, Knox, and Collins. They were all alive, but each was suffering from the effects of gas and fright, as wellas from the shock they had received by being thrown down when the explosion occurred. From their statements it seems that there would be about thirty men in the pit, some of whom were working " in.bye,' at a considerable distance from the mouths of the shafts. It is supposed that some of those men bad been at work in a •' trouble," and bad fired shots, from which the explosion may have occurred. The injured men are likely to recover. They describe the fi rst warning they had of the explosion as like the sound of a hurricane, and its effect on themselves was to throw them violently down. The 'toppings, bratticee, &C., in the colliery workings are all destroyed, and the mine is thrown into confusion ; some of the coal in the further workings of the pit is on fire, and men are employed in carrying water to extinguish it. Mr. Cole, the resident viewer, was among the first to descend the pit, and since that time parties of miners had gone down to explore the workings, at great risk to themselves. Mr. Jobling, the principal engineer, and one of the owners of the colliery (which is the property of Messrs. Lambert,Nicholson, and Co.), has also descended; and shortly before the despatch of our parcel, Mr. Matthias Dunn. Inspector of Coal Mines, and Mr. Potter, of Crandington, mining engineer, had been lowered down the shaft. Those who have walked as far in the workings as they possibly could had seen three dead bodies, and it is feared that several others had shared the fate of their unfortunate comrades. It is to be feared that those men who have not yet been brought out of the pit are dead. The miners who descended to explore the mine coins up much exhausted, and state the air to be very had. A small crowd is mumbled at the pit mouth, but there is very little excitement. The pit workino are very extensive, and those men who have been brought up alive were at a great distance from what believed to be the seat of the explosion. The whole of the horses and ponies down the pit were killed, and were very much charred. There were about 10 horses and 24 ponies down in all. The stables had been on fire. When Mr. Dunn and Mr. Jobling were down, several of the 'toppings bad been restored, and the air wan much improved. By the time we left, the whole of the stopping" had been temporarily restored, and the pit made safe for the men to go down and bring the bodies to bank. A large hand barrow had been provided for that purpose. We may mention the providential escape of George Mitford, who, at the time of the explosion, was working in another part of this pit. As soon as he heard the concussion, he ran for his life as hard as be could, but was overtaken by the after damp and was struck down like • shot. He gave himself up for dead, but was fortunately rescued by some men rent down to save the lives of u many aa they could. A con siderable time elapsed before be came about a little, bat he is likely to experience the baneful effect. of the after-damp for some days yet. StINDAT NICHT. ......... The bodies of the sixteen men and lads have been brought to bank in coffins, and despatched in carts to their homes. The pit is little the worse, and will be made tit for work Inc shift or two. The cause of the accident has not been ucertabsed. THE LATE SUICIDE ON THE STOUR VALLEY RAILWAT.—On Saturday evening Dr. Birt Dairies, the oorooerfor the borough of Birmingham, held an inquest at the Birmingham Arms, on the Oldbury-road, on the body of Edward Persona, who was killed on the Stour Valley Railway on Thursday under the circumstances mentioned in this paper of Saturday. It appeared from the evidence that the doomed, who was 55 years of age, and carried on I hostess, u a gun furniture maker in Bath-street, Birming ham, had been previously in a lunatic asylum. On Thurs day be left hi office about the usual time, and soon after was observed by one of the platelayers engaged on the line lying throes the rails sear Les-bridge. The piste-layer ordered Lim off ; and on the approach of the Liverpool train be observed the deceased lay himself across the rails within about 300 yards of the approaching train, which ran over bim and destroyed life isstantaaeously. The jury returned a verdict of "Suicide in a state of temporary ithanity." Ds.

They had no one living with them but a female servant. On Wednesday night witness counted out 1101. in gold, of which 89/. was in hall-sovereigns, and having tied it up in a cloth she deposited the money for safety under the fender in the parlour ' where a fire waiver, seldom lighted. On Thursday night she counted out the money in her till, and was going to hide it with the other 901., when she found that the money bad been removed. Upon making inquiries she found that the servant had taken up the ashes in the morning, and had thrown them into the dust-bin. She also found that the dustmen had emptied the dust-bin that very day, and the money was all gone. I She then gave information to the police of what bad happened. Mr. Burcham expressed his surprise that the money bad not been placed in the hands of a banker, and the witness • said she had before that hidden 5001. in the same way in the fender, and it was always safe. Henry Hurrt., a constable, said that he went on Friday to the prisoner, and asked him which of his men had removed the dust from the prosecutriz's house, and whether they had found any money there. lie answered that he did not know who the men were, and that he bad beard nothing of any money being found. Subsequently be traced a particular half-sovereign, which the proaecotrix could swear to sabering formed part of the money, into the possession of a person who had re- I ceived it from the prisoner in payment for some clover. He then took the prisoner into custody, and at the station he admitted that he always divided with his men any valuables that were found in the dust collected i by them. On Thursday the men found 851. in gold, all n half sovereigns, which was equally divided between them, be receiving 251. as his share. It was further proved that the prisoner had paid away several sums on the same day. all in bell-sovereigns, one of which ',misidentified by Mrs. Steddulph, owing to its peculiar ap gr. Burch= decided upon remanding the prisoner, in order that his men might be apprehended. Bail was taken for his appearance, himself in 100/. and two sureties in 50/. each. THAMES. Susan Thompson, who has often been in custody, was brought up on remand before Mr. Woolrych, charged with being concerned with a man not in custody in assaulting and attempting to rob Mr. Levine, a cigar maker, of Wellesley street, Stepney. On the night of Friday, the 14th instant, Mr. Levine, a young man, was on his way home from the Pavilion Theatre, and was accosted in the Commercial-road, near the George, by the prisoner, who made proposals to him, which he re jected, and told her to go away. A man whom she had just left was following a abort distance behind. She con tinued to importune the prosecutor, who said, "Go away, there is some one with you ; I believe you want to rob me," and crossed the road. The Fiore'. dill the same, arid put her hands upon him and mud, Pay the mono you owe me." Mr. Levine became alarmed, and a ppea l ed to two gentlemen who were passing. They ref to interfere, and she put her hands on the prosecutor again, and said, "My money. Pay me the money you owe me." He im mediately called for the police, and gave her into custody. He swore positively that he bad never aeon the prisoner ntil she accosted him in the Commercial-road, and that he owed her no money. Edward Dillon, a police sergeant, No. 191 E, said that one month ago the prisoner was charged with stealing a gold watch, chain, locket, and ring from a gentleman whom @hal decoyed into a house of ill fame. The prosecutor was afraid of an exposure, and did not appear against her. She had been repeatedly charged with similar robberies, sad was a ' most dexterous thief. She was almost invariably followed by a bully who was ready to receive 'any plunder, or knock down anyone who resisted her importunities. The prisoner was convicted some time ago. Levine was recalled, and described the personal appear ance of the bully ; and Mt. Woolrych requested the police would look after him, and said that a great many serious robberies had been com mitted by women who assailed respectable men on their way home and charged them with improprieties of which they had never been guilty, for the purpose of extorting money. He committed the prisoner for trial. PAPAL DEMONSTRATION AT BLACKHEATH. On Sunday, the LAIL inst., printed notices were freely dutributed at the various Roman catholic places of worship in the metropolis to the effect " that on Sunday, the 23rd (yesterday), the catholic" of London would unite with those residing in Deptford and Greenwich in holding a public demonstration of sympathy with the Holy Father on Blackheath." The notice especially invited the atten dance of Irishmen, and appointed Bermondsey-spare as the rendezvous of the London division. This notice had during the past week created considerable excitement amongst the catholic body, and the object was almost universally con demned byths clergy and respectable laymen as inopportune and unwise. So strong was the feeling amongst the higher branches of the catholic clergy against the proposed demon stration, that special reference was ordered to be made on the subject at most of the catholic chapels yes terday morning, cautioning the members of the church from attending. At one o'clock yesterday about 10,000 Irishmen, amongst whom were many respectably dressed men, assembled in Bermondsey-spare, where also a strong body of the M division of police, under Inspector Reed, had been previously posted. An attempt was at once made by the Irishmen to organise themselves into a procession for the purpose of marching to Deptford, but this was frustrated by the police. About 2,000 per sons, however, arrived at Blackheath, somewhat in the form of a procemion, at a few minutes before 4 o'clock, where from 8,000 to 10,000 people had been for some time as sembled, amongst whom were a body of Irish labourers connected with Woolwich dockyard, and a large number of soldiers belonging to the Artillery and Marines, regiments largely recruited from the sister country, but the great body evidently drawn together by curiosity, and, if sympathisers at all, not with the Pope or his supporters. On the road im mediately oppositetheentrance toGreen wich-park the lead ers took possession of a mound sitrtted in the middle of a hollow, their followers closing round with great promptness, and effectually preventing any other persons gaming • foot ing upon it had they been inclined to make the attempt. No bludgeons or sticks were carried in the procession. About 200 of the it division of police were drawn up on the heath, outside the park gates, but they made no attempt to interfere with the proceedings. The business of the meeting commenced by a Mr. Looney coming forward and asking all Irishmen present to take off their hats and give three cheers for the Pope. This appeal was responded to amidst loud cheering by about one-fourth of the crowd, and was followed by loud hissing from another portioa. Mr. O'Leary having been called on to preside, Mr. Mylie, of Deptford, came forward, and said he stood there sean Irish man and a catholic to maintain the temporal power of the Holy Father against all assailants. He then went on to denounce the late attempts of Garibaldi to conquer Rom., and praised the conduct of those of his countrymen whoTal signalised their devotion to the Pope in Hyde-park. Ha concluded by proposing &resolution in favourof the tempera power of, and sympathising with, the Pope in his present troubles. Looney seconded the resolution in • violent speech, in which he stigmatised Garibaldi as a tyrannical, heretical, buccaneering, unprincipled, and piratical filibuster, well deserving the fate he met with in his late an. holy expedition. This opinion was received with tremendous cheering from the Irishmen, and by loud hissing and laughter from the other portion of the crowd. Several other speakers having supported the resolution in speeches abusive of Garibaldi and his principles, the chairman de clared the resolution carried unanimously, and immediately declared the meeting dissolved. The Irishmen then re formed into a procession and proceeded homewards. .WITROPOLITAN . CIOI:TTY COMM ilittraiday;appo --- hWed - inVii - epressm — r v.ek Witarltnierla, St Niartln's-lane.—Tuesday.

This was a petition for windingup the above company, praying also, under the recent Joint Stock Companies Act, the appointment of an official liquidator. The question was mooted whether the official liquidator ought to be appointed upon the application of the petitioners only, without giving other parties interested an opportunity of objecting to the person reopesed. Mr. Hetheriogton and Mr. Roxburgh were in the case. The Vice-Chancellor was of opinion that he ought not to make an absolute appointment which should bind other shareholders not before the court from objecting to the person appointed. The order would go for the appointment of the gentleman named, subject to the right of any other shareholder to object to him as not a fit person to be ap pointed. HOOK V. HOOK. This was a cue raising a point in gavelkind tenure, which, strange to say, seems never yet to have been determined. The question was this, whether the great nephews of a deceased person were entitled to take as representing their father, who, it living, would, with other nephews, have been a ealieir in gavelkind of the deceased. Mr. Higgins and Mr. Osborne were in the eau. The Vice-Chancellor remarked on the singular want of authority which prevailed with reference to this case, and after examining various old decisions which bore indirectly upon it, came to the conclusion that the great nephews took as representing their father. Whether the right of repre sentation in gavelkind went beyond this it was unnecessary to decide, and upon that his Honour was unable, at present, to form any decided opinion. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.—Nov. 22. Sittings in Banoo.—(Before Lord Chief Justice Cockburn, and Justices Crompton and Blackburn.) GLOVER V. PERSIGNY AND BILLACILT.-THE HORNING CHRONICLE. This was an application on a matter of proceeding, and was of no interest except with regard to the relative position of the parties. The plaintiff, Mr. Berjeant Glover, was a few years minoe proprietor of the Morning Chronicle. The de fendants Count Persigny, the French Minister of the In terior, was at the time of the action ambassador to this country, and M. Billanit was a member of the government. The action was for work and labour for writing and pro curing to be inserted in the Morning Chronu/e, and other newspapers in this country, oertain articles, &c., by the defendants' orders and directions. The plaintiff swore in his affidavit that he was employed in England by M. Billault as Count Persigny's agent, and that in a personal interview with the latter in Paris this employ. ment was confirmed. Count Persigny had appeared to the action, and the difficult, was with reference to M. Billault. Mr. Gray now moved to set aside an order of Mr. Justice Crompton, setting aside an order of Mr. Justice Mellor, the object being to restore the latter. which was that the plaintiff should be allowed to give notice of declaration, and proceed in the action as against both defeodanta. There was abw•aoother point in the proceedings relative to alleged negligence on the plaintiff's first attorney. Rule granted. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.—Nov. 22. SittiEp in Benoo.—(Before Lord Chief Justice Erle, and Justices Bytes and Keating.) RURRELL V. RA DA BANDIDLC—A BRIP OF WAR FOR PORTUGAL. In 1858, Mr. Scott Russell, the plaintiff, entered into a contract with Viscount Bandeira, the Minister of Marine for Portugal, to build a war steamer of 400 tons burden for the price of 10,4001., the ship to be " finished, fitted, found, sod equipped in manner similar in all respects to that which is practised with ships or vessels of the same class in her Majesty's navy under contract with the Admiralty, except machinery." The questions now raised for the cou rt were whether the plaintiff was entitled to recover 3,3181. for work done, as he contended, in addition to the contract, and there wen also a question whether the defendant was entitled to claim the penalty provided in the contract of N. a day for delay in completing the vessel. The case was partly heard on Friday, and was resumed this morning. Mr. Bovill addressed the court for the plaintiff, and Mr. Collier for the defendant. The Lord Chief Ju stice said that the claim for things supplied seemed to divide itself into three heads. The first related to things supplied during the performance of the contract; the second was for extra spars, Ar.., or what might be termed "warlike equipment ;" and the third for things supplied after the ship bad been delivered and ac cepted. Under the last head the amount wu 1161., and there was no doubt the plaintiff was entitled to recover that. As to the second bead, he thought it wee clear that the Portuguese government believed that the vessel was to be supplied with extra mute and sails, but he also had no doubt that the contract did not bind the plaintiff to supply those things. The plaintiff, however, having been required by Admiral Sar toiins to furnish the articles, which cost about 2.000/., and having refused to do so, it had been arranged that he should furnish them " without prejudice." Not having been obliged to do this under his coot:set, but having done so upon request, he was entitled to recover the amount. The remaining heed of claim was for things done during the construction of the vessel and upon verbal request ; but the contract provided that all alterations made without • written order from Admiral Sartorius should be included in the contract, and therefore the plaintiff could not recover on account of them. As to the penalties, the plaintiff did not seem to be liable, inasmuch as the delay had occurred in consequence of acts done by the Portuguese government. Judgment accordingly. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. Nov. 22. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) ANDREW V. ANDREW. Mr. Serjeent Pigott and Mr. Stecley Hill for the peti• tioeer. ItWas a snit for a dissolution, on the ground of cruelty and adultery, brought by the wife of a Berlin wool shop kee Shrewsbury. She was married to the respondent in J ululy, 1852 ; and she deposed that his conduct was very harsh and unmanly. The adultery was proved by means of • number of love letters (which were read by the judge privately), and by the evidence of a surgeon. Decree nisi, with costs, and custody of the children. JIINNER r. JENNE. AND BALLMOCE. Mr. Sturgeon appeared for the petitioner. The parties were in a humble station. They were married in 1884, and lived together for some years.

Hall and Robert leafy, both of them known as " ticket-ol.leave men, were charged with being concerned with others in stealing a purse from Mr. Edward Burt. The prosecutor, who is • clerk in the Custoni.honse, stated that at about seven o'clock he was walking from Railway-street to Church-row, when be took out his puree, intending to ester • shop to make a purchase. A woman, who had previously addressed a filthy observation to him, and bad gone away, came up to him at this moment, snatched the parse out of 1 his hand, and ran away down Church-row. He immediately followed her, calling out " Stop thief!" The prisoner Hall then met bins and stopped I. front of him, at the IMO time giving hire a push. He turned rotted, intending to go back, when he found two other men, one of whom was the prisoner Lea* reedy to lay hold of him. All three men seized him, but he contrived to spring away, and at owns attacked them with hie stick, the butt end of which wee loaded with lead. He knocked one man down, sod heard him call out, " Olt, Ood, my h ead , Bill !" He next struck Hall, who ran away, and he held the other prisoner till • constable came up aad took him into custody. He had last his purse, but for tunately there was no money in it. A constable stated that, hearing • cry for police, be went to the spot, and stopped the prisoner Hall se he was running away. He found the prosecutor very much exhausted, but still holding the other man. Both prisoners were committed for trial, end Alderman Hale remarked that whenever • daring robbery of this na. hire was brought before him be should send the parties for trial, and should not deal with them summarily. If the pro secutor bad not behaved so courageously he would probably have been killed. 01JILDHALI.. . .

Mary ltheiklalph, the prothoutith. said she =mid on INSECURITY OF LIFE AND PROPERTY IN TEE METROPOLIS. On Saturday, at the sitting of the Marylebone Representative Council, held at the Court-house. Mr. Peter Matthews, churchwarden, in the chair. Mr. W. E. Green. well, the vestry clerk, read &communication from the vestry of Paddington, together with the copy of • memorial that body had adopted to the Home Secretary upon the subject of the alarm in the public mind, arising from the numerous street robberies, with violence, which have recently taken place in the metropolis, and soliciting the co-operation of the authorities of Marylebone on the subject. —Mr. Hodges said be felt it his duty to move that the consideration of this memorial be postponed, because, be said, if they agreed to it at once, without mature deliberation, they might find it made an excuse for saddling them with • very large increase of the police. The police rate in Marylebone already amounted to the enor mous sum of 26,0001. per annum ; from 18,0001. to 20,06/. in St. Pancras, and from 10001. to 15,0001. in Paddington, and the sum total for the whole metropolis was somewhere about 2011m001. While, how ever, opposed to any further increase in the polioe-nde, be quite agreed that it was highly necessary the efficiency of the police should be increased. Mr. Grange supported the immediate adoption of such a memorial. To the disgrace of the metropolis and the whole country, they had arrived at such a state of things, that there was danger in going into the public streets after dark, of losing not only their property but their lives by the garotters. Mr. Abrahams said he was prepared to contend that, if the large bodies of police occupied at the public places of amusement were withdrawn and occupied in their legitimate duty, for which the public paid, and that if the commissionaires were sworn in as constables and appointed in their places, the public would be able to receive ample protection. Mr. Freeth considered the parish of Paddington had done them selves great honour in originating this movement, and he thought it was incumbent on that board, as • body elected by the ratepayers, to support it se being a step for the pro tection of their own lives and property, as well as of those they represented. (Hear, hear.) Some steps ought to be taken promptly by the government to stop the fearful out rages that were going on night after night in the metropolis. The other day a lady in St. John's-wood had occasion to send her servant for the police, and it took two hours and • half to find one, and then she had to go to a police-station some distance off. It then transpired that there were no policemen on day duty in St. John's-wood district. The consequence was, so bad was the state of things, that people there were much exposed to danger of being garotted in broad daylight as well as at night. A very daring attempt was made upon himself (Mr. Freed), as he was actually leaving • cab to enter his own house as early as six o'clock a few evenings ago. The fact was that the metropolis was infested with returned ticket-of-leave men, robbers, and garotters, and none more so than St. John's-wood, and similarly situated &taw' t dis tricts. He bad recently travelled through some of the primp cipal capitals of Europe, and could safely say that in no capital was there lees protection, or so little care for Missed property, as in Loudon. Sir Richard Mayne had signally failed to do his duty in this respect, and he therefore con sidered, as representing one of the largest and heaviest taxed districts for polies, they were in duty boned toga to the Home Secretary and demand proper protection from the returned convict, the garotter, and the samein. Mr. Overton said several applications had been made to government for police returns as to the number of men employed. hot they refused to furnish them. —Uultimately the memorial was adopted unanimously, and signed by the chairman on behalf of the board. THE ACCLIMATISATION BooraTT or GRRAT BRITAIN. —The quarterly meeting of the council was held on Tues day, L. Mackinnon, Fag., in the chair. It was tesolved that the sum of 1501. be granted from the foods for the purpose of getting from Australia a supply of the Tonga-won' and bronzewing pigeons, the Murray cod, and • few wombats., and that this amount shall be handed over to Mr. Edward Wilson for transmission to the Melbourne society, in full con fi dence that the council of that moiety wi ll do its best to lay out the money of the British society to the beat advantage. Measures were decided upon for obtaining from Berlin a supply of that desi rable fish the Ludo Perco, for the pure es of breeding, and Mr. Bucidand was authorised to make arrangements and incur • limited amount of expenditure for that purpose. The secretaries reported the receipt of • present of • great variety of vegetable and other seeds from Algeria, promoted to the society by M. Teuton, the coromistioner of the Frunch.Al • colonies at the International Exhibition. These will be dis tributed among the members at the proper season. Since the last meeting of the conned the society has made eon sidsmble progress. Forty-two new members have joined since the beginning of the month of August. The stock of Chinese sheep is in • thriving condition : all that wen offered for sale were readily purchased, and there is a de mind for more. Lord Powersoourt, one of the purchasers, reports the birth of for lambs to one of his ewes. To the small stock now in the u hands of Mr. Bush, on behalf of the society, five lambs were added in the month of September. The turkeys which arrived from Honduras in the month of September laid twenty eggs, which produced nine birds, seems of which ars now in good condition.

On Saturday there were a number of ships launched from the Liverpool and Birkenhead sides of the Mersey—Mr. John Laird's yard turning out • splendid government troopship called the Orontes, and Means. Jones, Queggin and Co.'s yard two very fine vessels for merchant semen. Besides these launches, we may mention that a gunboat—one of the craft about which so much speculation relative to destination has been indulged in—together with some keels of a less noticeable character, left the stocks, and kept the building yards in commotion. The Birkenhead ironworks present a busy scene. There are from 2,800 to 3,000 hands in daily employment ; and between 16,000 and 17,000 tons of shipping, warlike and commercial, and machinery of about 1,500 horse-power, in course of construction on the premises. Amongst the most prominent undertakings is the iron-cased screw frigate Agincourt, which is intended for the royal navy. The Agincourt has so far progressed that the homes ere all up, and nearly plated to the armour shelf, with the ex ception of the extreme ends of the vessel, which are kept hack until the stem and stern posts are set up. The forging of these immense pieces of iron is progressing satis factorily at Messrs. Hornbill's Money forge, where the armour plates of the Agincourt are also being constructed, and these plates are to be nearly 54 inches thick, but they will taper off tot 4 inches at the extreme sods of the ship, which enables the builders to give • sharp model for speed, sod its to he hoped a ship that will not pitch in the same manner as the Warrior does. In another part of the yard the two iron-plated rams, about which so many extraordinary rumours have been are rapidly getting into form, and to M a lt men a very uncommon form it appears to be. With regard to the Orontes, she is one of the improved class of troopships, of which the government are building several, something after the style of the celebrated Himalaya, but from 25 to 30 feet shorter than that vessel ; her dimensions being :--Length, 300 ft.; beam, 44 feet 4 inches ; depth of hold, 23 feet 6 inches ; measurement (old), 2,811 tow. The engines, some portions of which are already ow board, will be of 500 hone power, and manufactured by Mews. James Watt and Co., of Birmingham. They are calculated to drive the ship at a high rate of speed, and the sailing cape city of the Orontes will be that of • barque fulled rigged in proportion to her tonnage. From the foremast to the bow the deck is covered in, and forms the forecastle, on which the crew ol,the ship will be quartered. From the foremast aft the deck is quite flush. The 'tween decks on which troops will be noconimodated, are fully eight feet high "in the clear," with square side ports, large deck skylights, and every provision for thorough ventilation, so important • requisite for the aucisesful per formaoce of „transport service. The Orontes is calculated for the conveyance of 1,200 troops and 70 officers to any part of the world. She will carry two pivot guns for de feosive purposes, but must not at all be considered as a fighting ship. It is expected that she will be completed sad fit for service by the middle of February.

COTTON GOODS.-3Lumurnrics, Nov. 22.—The mar ket opened this week very depressed, both for yarn and cloth. Still there was more inquiry on Tuesday, and spin ners showing some disposition to meet buyers on rather easier terms, some business was effected at the decline. Some orders given for yarns suited to the Mediterranean market, and the difficulty found in executing them, further led to the discovery that stocks were more reduced than had been supposed, and an impression was induced that for the present prices had about reached the minimum. This feeling was further strengthened as the week drew nearer a close, and yesterday an improvement in the LMiel cotton market settled the question. Au advance place of Id. per lb. in yarns, which has had the effect of bringing buyers into the market for India, and a fair amount of business has resulted at the advance. In the cloth market a similar result has taken place. Buyers who on Tuesday held aloof came for ward rather freely yesterday, and some heavy sales were made to speculators, who have been tempted, at th e turn of the market, by the great decline at which they have been able to operate as compared with the rates prevalent a couple of mouths back. On Tuesday some fair orders were given out for printers, and yesterday sales of some magni tude were made in printers, low shirtions, T cloth, and mulls, at the low rater of last week. This morning the market bas been decidedly firmer, and some heavy sales of printers are reported at an advance of 6d. per piece.
