They also recommended that where building stones were exhibited in the form of cubes, the uniform size of eight inches should be preserved, and it was deemed essential that two surfaces of the cube should be left in the natural state—undressed. These and all mineral specimens are to have labels attached, carefully giving the locality from which they were obtained, and, if possible, the geological formation to which they belong. This large and complete collection is to be chiefly placed In the eastern annexe, as a companion to the show of agricultural implements. The court is I to be largely fitted up with ornamental marbles. " The lead hills of Lanarkshire," says Mr. Hunt, "once the scene of a wild rush after g old, ▪ always a district producing rare materials, lave sent a series of their treaaures. Lead ores and their products have come from Durham, Northum berland, and Cumberland. The mountain limestone regions of Yorkshire have furnished lead and cop per' and Cardiganshire and F'lintahire exhibit ! varieties of their galenaa and blondes. The local committees of Exeter, Tavistock, and Redruth have carefully looked up the more remarkable examples of the minerals of Devonshire and Cornwall. That 1 tin ore which has been worked in Cornwall and on Dartmoor for more than two thousand lAA, and which is now being obtained at the rate of 10,000 tons per annum, will be shown as obtained from the stream and from the mine. Several varie ties of copper ore, many of rich argentiferons lead ores of the West, the zinc ores of these counties, and sulphur ores (iron pyrites), and many others not quite so important, but remarkable as being rare, are also amongst the illustrations of nature's bounty to us. Ireland, too, sends over her lead, copper, and pyritic ores. Although the Exhibition of 1862 will not exhibit such a complete collection of iron ores as the in dustry of Mr. S. Blackwell brought together in 1851, yet most of the new[discovertes—and they . are many and important—wi ll fi nd a place. The iron ores of Weozdale, those of Cleveland, and the recent 'discoveries of the West Riding of 'Yorkshire, the kemarkable deposits of Lincolnshire, those of the "Midland Counties, and the beet examples from Somerset, Devon, and Cornwall, will form an in- Wresting series. Coal specimens are abundant. There is scarcely a useful seam from which an example Lea not been sent. In 1861 there were some gigantic blocks, many of them of little interest, but cubical pieces of about 18 inches are now the rule. (Stamped, id. Additional.) ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.

The 14th anniversary festival of this institution was celebrated yesterday at the London Tavern, Bishops. gateetreet, under the presidency of the treasurer, Mr. IL EDMUND GURNEY, in the absence of the Duke of Argyll, who had promised to take the chair, but was prevented doing so by indisposition. The guests numbered upwards of 150 gentlemen, and 1 amongst them were Mr. Sheriff Cockerel', Mr. Scholefield, M.P., Messrs. Norbury, John Williams, and E. N. Fowler, Drs. Jea ff reion, Birkett , Edwards, Wa rd , Ingram, Sm., and many distinguished members of the mercantile community who have long identified themselves with objects of charity. The Quitman, in proposing the toast of the evening, " Preeperity to the City of London Hospital for Diseases of the Chest, drew attention to the statistics of the institu tion , observing that this was the fourteenth anniversary fes tival of the charity, and it was gratifying to him to be enabled tory that although they bad always had a deficit of 110104 sort or other, the amount of that deficit appeared Who lamming every year. In proof of the extreme im portance of the institution he need only mention the following facts, which were set forth in a state ment presented by the committee of management Fifty thousand persons die annually in this country from dis eases of the chest. The new hospital in the Victoria-park was opened under the auspices of the late Primo Consort, in 1865, and it had been found to be especially adapted to the woooessful treatment of pulmonary affections. The num ber of in-patients under treatment last year amounted to I4lo,whilet the number received since the wards were opeped was 3,000. The number of oat-patient' admitted mace the hospital was established 1848 was 73,050. The re eelpte U i lit i cz i Mews, 6,246/. 168. 11d. The waned subscriptions amounted to little more than one-third of the total expenditure, and as the charity had no permanent bootee of its own, the deficit could only be made up by th e liberality of the public. The amount of the deficit at the present moment was 3,0001., and the chairman nude an earnest appeal to the company , to 'mat themselves towards the collodion of the required sum. The institution could not be carried on in its present state under about 4,700 f. per ananm, while the annual subscriptions amounted to little more than 1,60(1., and hence it was necemezy that thou who appreciated the benefits of this excellent institu tion should exert their beet endeavours to 1040,111{S the amount of annual entessipliess. The toast was cordially responded to, and the sahscriP tines afterwards announced amounted to fly 2,2001. The musical amassment/ were and the direction of Mr. Francis, who was ably assisted by Mies Leffler, Mos S. Cole, Mr. Cummings, and others. Mr. Harker was the usually effective toastmaster. ,11 I.

THE CAPTURI OP mit sricutirs MIMI"' BY MB FEDERAL CRUISER. LETTER FROM THE. MATE. Tim following is a copy of a letter from the mate of the Labour steamer :- '• Shop Island, Feb. 14, 1862. It U with repot that I have to announce the seunre of the steamer Labiate, by the United State, sloop of war Porta smooth, while lying off the Frio Grande, loading cotton for Havana. This happened on the lat of February, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. We saw the Portsmouth in the offing dur ing the foreneoe, Myna( French eclairs, and taking r prise schooner, but I thought we wen safe, as Capt. Hamshaw told we that, in Cale we were boarded by any man-of-war, to show them the papers which he left. Capt. liareakaw went on shore on the 27th January and was detained oe shore by strong gale., which prevented him from getting on hoard. About 4.3 U the tire: lieutenant Came on beard, and sated to see the ropers, which I showed him. He afterwards looked down the hold, and remarked that we were loaded with cotton, risking at the some time where it was shipped. I till him that it won shipped from Hata moms He returned to his ship, and shortly after sent another boat of officers sod men, who ordered toe to get up steam and shift our berth nearer the Portsm o uth. I did as required, en being given to understand that they only wanted to have the ship clear of their gun.. Alter shifting our berth, I was ordered on board. on toy arrival ors hoard the captain told me that be CCM sideml that we were a lawful prise —that we were takieg as Americus cotton is America& waters. This I denied, and told him that it was shipped in Matamoros, and that we were is Magian waters-- our longitude, by a number of observations, being 97.5 Ci W., and our lat. 25 55 N. Ile told me that it did not matter ; ho would send us to Ship island, to await the commdore's decision. Oa my return on hoard I found that there were on board at least fatty marinas sad sailors beingiag to the Parlamenti. On Sunday they discharged the cargo of a prize whowier lab ea. awl us Monday, the :ird February, took all the MUM and Mr. (Mee, engineer, out of the ship, and ordered the officer in charge to prepare to proceed to Ship Island. Titer took all the spirits, wine, ale, and porter re beard the Portsmouth.

If Captain Fowkes had not been blessed with a very happy temper, the month of March might : have seen him driving headlong to a mad-horse. He has put together his great building to the ' best of his ability ; and as plain wood, iron, ekes, and bricks have refused to look like those , delightful pictures of the new palace painted by imaginative artists, he has had to stand as a target 1 for a thousand critical arrows. His conception may or may not have been the result of a diatom- I payed dream, in which a cathedral had somehow got mixed up with a railway station ; but one thing is certain—it war built upon a very clearly defined ! plan, and reached its climax of beauty about the' middle of February. Although remarkably hollow and incomplete at that date, it was just possible to see through it and across it • but since that happy time—that day of joy for the unfortunate architect —the whole building has gone rapidly backwards. The most energetic exertions are supposed to be bent upon its completion by the let of May • ' a man fs killed on one day, a boy is crippled for life t on another • a groat contractor looks on ooni plaoently it the chaos of work, or touted through his servants, in several languages, for orders for fittings ; clerks of works hurry about with papers, dogged by foremen and labourers ; groups of workmen stand in convivial groups, and I Ulm hourly iwfrealiment from overflowing beer I etanit a dozen reed congregate round a hole, or a pieceef timber, or balance themselves upon swing ing scaffold poled, and act as if six hundred years were allowed them iu which to complete the build ing ; hangers of pictures shut themselves up in the galleries (by strict official orders) and do their work in solitude and silence, as if it were a mystery of Isis ; sappers and miners seem to spend half their lives in taking instructions from clerks about canister stoves • exhibitors look in to learn some thing from obs ervation about their space, and shake their heads when they see the rain dripping through the glue from a thousand crevices ; rain', who have more respect for stone statues than for the well-advertised reputation of Hamra Kent and Lucas, decline to send in heavy works in this order of art until the flooring of the picture gal leries is largely strengthened ; clumsy carts come rumbling slowly into the centre of the building with overhanging loads ' and the horses shake their harness as they hear the thunder of the falling timber under the eastern dome. All this may be active work, and there may be a thousand, or there may be two thousand working men in the building but every plank that is laid down or raised, every nail that is driven in, certainly puts the structure in a worse position. One half at the southern courts—once pleasingly called the " open or glans courta"—is now boarded off for the great French arena, and in another week this great slice of space will be as private as the inside of a booth at a fair. ACoordmg to the tradition which we believe is popular in Paris, we thought it was the Englishman who was inclined to fly from society ; and we never recollect hearing it admitted that the Frenchman was at heart an unamiable recluse. International exhibitions, however, are supposed to teach us many lessons in foreign manners and customs ; and we must not be asto nished at this revelation of French character. -- • ------ - The enclosure of the French industrial court is high, complete, and perfect, and It even goes to the leugth of having a grand private entrance built between two of the columns at the western end of the nave ; hut there are other enclosures, which, though smaller, are inure hideous. The north-west transept is now filled in along its centre with three or four large square boxes, that look like gigantic packing-cases. These may probably be intended for other foreign courts (we really have not had the heart, to haat out the proper official to inquire), or they may be intended for snug little offices, where large orders may be taken away from the crowd, or international thimble-rigging way be carried on without the knowledge of the commissioners. Other structures of the same hideous kind seem to be threat ened in different parts, to judge by the timber pre parations, and even now the day has passed when it was possible to get a good perspective view of the building. There must be • weighty official reason for allowiug these industrial pens to be erected, and probably the public would like to know it. If it is true that the engineers in charge of the building will not allow even a high-art door-mat to be hung from the galleries—if it is true that those tolerably graceful airways are built more for show than for substantial use, then we can have nothing more to say about this unseemly boarding. Vertical space must be had in other pieces as well as against the outer brick walls ; and if this necessity has not been provided for by the architect and contractors, the oversight only matches that carelessness which for got to make proper doorways to the building. The painting is not yet finished in the western dome, and therefore the huge scaffolding—a forest of timber—looking at a distance like fine lace work, is still standing. This wooden web is made of about 40,000 cubits feet of timber, and is really such a wonderful example of human labour and ingenuity, that it would not disgrace the commis sioners if it were to stand as part of the exhibition. The eastern annexe, where abort 36,000 square feet of open-air space is to be left, is still iu a very backward condition. It was the last extension of the building decided upon by the commissioners ; but that is no reason why little or no exertions should be made to finish it. Labour is plentiful enough at fair market rates, and the building is large enough, and the work scattered enough, to employ a much larger number of men than those now put on by the contractors. No bickering with the commissioners, no complaints about official delays leading to extra cost and uncertainty, will absolve the contractors from their obvious duty to the exhibitors and public. If they regarded the commissioners more as masters, and leas as tenants at-will, it might perhaps lead to a happier and more business-like state of progress in the building. The arrivals of British goods have now reached more than a hundred cases ; and many fittings of various degrees of beauty and size have been delivered in this department. In the foreign department the deliveries still come in very slowly, although it is understood that many goods have arrived at the outporta, or are warehoused in dif ferent parts of London until the courts are a little more ready to receive them. About twenty cases have come in from France, half the Prussian goods, and the contributions of several minor states, but hardly anything has yet been seen from Austria. The three greatest coverers of space will be France, Prussia, and Austria, and France has got about • third of the whole foreign division. The boarded French Court, which we have just alluded to, is being rapidly filled with fittings for Lyons silks and other specialities, and it is understood that the centre will be devoted to a great trophy formed of the Ville de Paris table plate. The Americans have at last decided nut to exhibit nationally, and what goods are sent will be individual contributions. In Clan I.—the department for mining, quarry , ing, metallurgy, and mineral products, which is under the management of Mr. Robert Hunt, F.R.S. i —we shall have a very large and important collec tion, although the commercial motive to exhibit is weaker than in any other class. The transport of the specimens has been costly, and few of the exhi bitors can expect any reward except thanks for having contributed to an instructive and interesting collection. The National Committee for this class drew up a scheme ' with the view of suggesting, to some extent, the nature of the objects which it was thought de sizable should be exhibite.l in this department of the Exhibition. The committee suggested the desirability of keep ing the size of mineral specimens within moderate limits, u being more convenient for display, and better adapted for exhibiting special peeuharities In meialluigy, the examples of iron are numer ous, and, at the same time, as nearly all varieties of pig iron will be found in the Exhibition, there will be some of the most remarkable examples of rolled iron that have ever yet been shown. Rails from sixty to one hundred feet in length, without a weld ; bars of remarkable size and length ; sheets of iron of mast unusual dimensions ; and armour plates which have resisted the battering power of Armstrong's gnus, will be there. Cranks, one weighing above twenty-five tons, and beams of singular size and strength,lwill prove the capabilities of British forges. The spe=ens of gold from Devonshire and Wales will probably be general objects of interest. Two monolithic obelisks, belonging to this depart ment, are erected as trophies in the nave—one made of Cheesewring granite, twenty-seven feet high, after the design of Mr. John Bell ; the other made of gray granite from the Ross of Mull, thirty-five feet high. In the mineral court there will also be a beautiful serpentine obelisk, fifty feet high ; and a fine collection of Derbyshire spars, principally black marble, the celebrated fluor-spar being ugly exhausted. Mr. Birley.bas sent a richly inlaid table that may be regarded as a perfect work of art. The only metal exhibited which has become an article of commerce since 1861 is aluminium ; and of this there are numerous specimens, both manu factured and uumanufactured. This metal cost fifty-five pounds sterling par pound in 18E4 ; in 1808 it was reduced to five pounds a ton ; and now, we believe, it may be obtained at a much lower rate. It has a fine white colour, slightly inclining to blue, especially after being well hammered ; when cold, like silver, it is susceptible of a very fine matting, is easily burnished or polished or drawn into wire, and can easily be beaten out, either hot or cold, to the same extent and as per fectly as gold and silver. It is much lighter t ha n ordinary minds ; its elasticity and tenacity are about the same as those qualities in silver, and it is easily run into sand and metallic moulds. Perhaps the most generally interesting objects in the mineral department will be the model of the celebrated Barrow works near Ulverstone, and some working models of mines, set in motion by water power, showing every feature of this under ground branch of industry. The local subscription to pay for widening the Bronipton road seems to have taken a ready-money form, for labourers are now heartily workingon this very necessary task. The Boulevard is condemned ; the axe is laid to the roots of the rotten trees ; the forecourts are being torn up ; the local tradespeople look hopeful and cheerful, and in about another fortnight or three weeks the thoroughfare will be widened from the Horse Repository to the Museum bend at least oue-half. Nothing definite or official can be stated about the programme for the opening on the let of May, beyond the fact that the band and chorus will be ou a gigantic scale, under the direction of Mr. Costa. Mr. Bowley, the general manager of the Crystal Palace, has a share in the direction of the musical arrangements. Mr. Cole, C. B. ,we believe, has been put in o ffi ce to do his best to seat thirty thousand people within view of the ceremony, and if be falters, Mr. Bowley will, no doubt, be able to help him. INDUSTRIAL HOME 102 roux(' WOMEN. On Tuesday the first anniversary of the Industrial Home for Young Women was held at 22, New Ormond street. This institution wu begun last year by the Work house Visiting Society, with the object of rescuing girls above the age of fifteen from the evils of the adult wards of workhouses, and giving them a training for service. Dur ing the past year 66 girls have been received, some of whom have been sent to service and some to the colonies. The home can contain 30 girls. Eighteen boards of guardians have sent inmates, and it is hoped that during the present year the full number may be admitted. The girls are Wight house work, washim, cooking, needlework, &c In the home a large mom has lately been opened as an infirm ward, for the reception of aged persons who are able to pay a small sum towards their maintenance, and who, but for this refuge, would be compelled to enter the workhouse. The numerous applications for admission prove this to be a much needed plan, and it is hoped shortly to carry it out on a more extended scale. In the course of the various speeches delivered at the meeting opinions were expressed is favour of legalising and encouraging such home, as these, the ewer of which, during the first year of its establish mat, bad been fully proved. However workhouses might be improved, they could never have the same advantages for girls and young women as separate homes, where in dustrial training and moral and religious influence can be telly carried out. Thirty girls were present on this occa sion, eleven of whom were invited to return for the day, having good characters from their mistresses, and six re °dyed rewards for having remained above three and nine .oaths in their plasm. HANDEL Frartenu—Tbe meeting al the sixteen hundred members d the Handal Festival Loudon Choir will be held at Estee-beLl tomorrow evening. The chonurse from Readers oratafio Solo-mem will be rehearsed --a selection of the most favourite of which it Is understood will form a feature ea the mooed day at the forthcoming liandel Festival. The London season may almost be said to have commenced with the Early Spring Flower Show ei meter day, which heads the programme of the Royal Horticultural Society's arrangements for the year 1862. Hitherto the fashionable drives and promenades of Hyde-park and the aristocratic localities of Belgravia and South Kensington have, owing to the long continuance of the cold and wet which have marked the opening months of the present year, limn comparatively deserted. Yesterday they wore alive with gay equipoise, and the immediate neighbourhood of the Horticultural Gardens and the International Exhibition was all but impassable from the influx of visitors, attracted not so much, perhaps, by the expectation of a brilliant horticultural display, which is hardly possible in the third week of each a March as this has been, as by the bright sunbeam which, almost for the first time since their retain to tows, 41101 b• out with sufficient promise of permansees to draw them berm the warmth and shelter of their firesides. But, considering all things, the show itself was meet creditable. The hyacinths, whop beautifully formed petals, pure colours, luxuriousnme of flower, and exquisite but powerful aroma could scarcely be surpaseed,were in great pro- I fusion, and well deserved the commendations they obtained from the cognoscenti. Thecamelliaa, white, red, and varie gated, were unexceptionable, and, as regards those which . obtained prizes especially, told of the care which had been bestowed upon their culture. There was not so large a dis play of tulips ea a more genial season would doubtless have produced, but the few Shat-were there were extremely good. Early open air grown spring flowers were, as might be anticipated, scarce, except lilies of the valley, which were plentiful enough, and amongst them some bunches drooping with the weight of their white bead-like Moslems. The primula, epic's., and other open air spring flowering plants, and the stove amaryllis, did credit to their remedies powers as well as to the exhibition of which they fanned a part. Besides the competing plants, there was a magailicent display, as far se quality is ooncersed, of rhodedesdrine, and a few beautifully developed ram, both mi and white. There was but cue drawback to the thew, and that was that the confined area in which it wee held, and the immense number of visitors, nimiered it all but im possible to sea one half of the many very interesting sped- , mess ol the floricultural art it embeaced. From a little after one o'clock, when the doors opened, until dusk, there was a continuous stream of visitors passing through the council chamber, which on this occasion was the somewhat inesevenissa route of the exhibition, and the necemary Worts Si the attendant policemen to keep the stream flow ing primate:l that attention being given to the "points" of the Bowen which an area of more extended limits would have allowed. This is a defect whichlwill be no doubt re medied by the next flower show, and may well be excused is the prement instance, remembering that the very us promaing weather which prevailed yesterday would have made the substitution of a marquee in the gardena a dan gerous experiment. The band of the let Life Guards attended in the grounds during the eiternoon, and enlivened the out-door portion of the entertainment with • selection from some of the most popular composers. Taken as a whole, this, the opening day Si the season, was most successful, and promises well for the numerous other fltes which are set down in the pub limbed pregramme of the year, and which are to follow each other in rapid succession. The Duchess -of Oambridge and the Princess Mary of Cambridge visited the show in the early part of the morn. lug, attended by the Duke of Buckingham. Her Royal Highs's, was received by Sir Wentworth Dilke, Mr. Fair. bairn, and other members of the Council. THE HARTLEY COLLIERY RELIEF FUND. The Lord Msyor on taking bin seat on the bench at the Mansion-bonne yeiterilay iraceralag, dated that be had received a COCIMIIIIK tiaa S the Mira of New• castle, stating that the earainittee for the distrlbation of the fund far the relief of the distressed widows and orphans of the sufferers by the calamity at the Hartley Colliery Ws mak Inuralawnents for the investmat of same of the mosey, sad -asking him to mend a cheque for the mount which he hold to the transom of that fund. He had therefore written to the treasurer of the fund stating that he would forward a cheque on Saturday for the remaining sum which he held, namely, 17,8651. la. Id. He had previously sent 2,000/.. which mode up the whole amount which be had to account for, with the =tet 4681. 4s. 2d., 4321 . Bs. of which had been ex,- o advertisements, and 551. 16s. 2d. in office work, and other things. He therefore desired to give notice that on Saturday the Hartley Colliery account would be closed, and that after that day he should not receive any more mosey. If there should happen to be any anonymous donations he must of course pas them to the account ; but if any were ant with the addrtaite of the donors he should send them took. It might perhaps happen that some small amounts might arrive hom ahead, and in that case he should of course forward them to the treasurer. In addi tion to the sums he had 'mentioned he had likewise received 1941. 13s. 5d., for the rankers who so nobly risked their lives in attempting to extricate their fellow•workmen. He ad shady forwarded 1941. 3s. sd. of that sum to the treasurer, and there only now remained a sum of lth. in and, which would be sent with the other. With regard to the fund in aid of the sufferers by the accident at Merthyr Tydvil he was still receiving subscriptions, and he was sorry to say that the money for that calamity, which in its nature was quite as grievous as the other, was comiog in but very slowly, and not at all adequate to the neosseity of the cue, and while the contributions in aid of the Hartley Colliery had been vastl too numerous in those far Merthyr there was a pest d. NAVAL CONGRESS FOR 1862. The Naval Congress convened annually in Lon don under the auspices of the Institution of Naval Archi tects, of which the Right Hon. Sir J. S. Pakingtoa, Bart, G.C.8.. is the president, is appointed to be held this year at the hall of the Society of Arts (kindly lent for the pur pose), on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, the 27th, 2sth, end 211th of March. The business will commence with a report from the council, after which, the first day will be devoted to the discussion of the steering and sailing qualities of ships of war, the construction and armour of iron-plated ships, and the preservation of the bottoms of iron ships from fouling. The following ratiemen are expected to take part in the day's proved fags, via:—Tbe Right Hoo. President; Capt. Sir J. C. Dalrymple Hay, Bark, R.N., M.P. for Wakefield; Rear- Admiral pane Allot; Rear- Admiral Woodford J. Wa hines ; Capt R. Pellew Halsted, R.N Capt. Cowper Phipps Coles, R . N.: Mr. W. Fairbairn ; Ca pt Foed, of the Thames Iron Works ; Mr. J. Scott Russell ; Mr. Charles W. Lancaster; Mr. J. Brown, of Sheffield, and M. H. D. P. Canatriglam, R. N., whose improved sails are being limbed to the Dsfenoe and Resistance. Oa the following day, tmorti- Mg will ne devoted to the consideration of the rolling motions of ships, and of the propulsion of steamers ; the discussion being opened by the Rev. Joseph Woolley, LL.D.. late Principal of the School d Naval Ooastruetion at Porte month. In the evening, the very important subject of the derangement of the commas in iron ships generally, and especially in iron-cased ships, will be explained and experi mentally illustrated by Mr. Archibald Smith, F.R.S., Mr. Evans, superintendent of w adr o as o lly computer, and Mr.Ras• dell, the secretary to the Liv compass committee. On Saturday, a number of neon, papers will be read, on the American Stevens' battery, the construction of marine steam boilers, the ventilation of steamers, sub marine explosive shells, Lc. ETHNOLOGICAL Socrurv.—Last evening, .1. Craw ford, Esq., president, in the chair, the following members were elected :—C. H. Chambers, Esq. ; Erasmus Darwin, Esq. ; the Rev. C. Kingsley, professor of history at Cam bridge ; H. Parkes, Esq., C.R, her Majesty's coavul at Shanghai; Lieutenant-Colonel Phayre, French Guinea; A. W. Sanderson, Eq., and J. T. White, Eat. A paper was read by W. Meat, Bq., "On the Ancient In dian Tombs, at Chiriqui, in Veragna, Isthmus of Darien," with • note by C. Carter Blake, Fag., on some stone celts found in them. In 1859 gold ointments and pottery were dimovered in thaw grave. through the fall of a tree which bad grown on one of them, and great numbers were opened and ransacked. Between June and August of that year, 1,500 persons were engaged in digging, and 250114. of gold ornaments were ex tracted, valued at about 12,5001. The graves at Bopp where them exairations were carried on, are a round • central mound of stones four or five yards 4h. Numerous grime have since been found in other parts of the country, which seemingly is teeming with them. Some of the gold oroaossode repo and▪ various indigenous animals, others Masao Ilium lOGIO are modelled into obscene, hideoes, or grotesque tonne—the sacred parrot, or guacamayo, is very orenracitily represented. The author considers tie Donahoe, to wheat he attributes these tombs, as • MOO derived from a partials of the Chorotecan nation of Nicaragua. In one stone colt from the Bugabita district, Mr. Blake thought there was evidence in its workmanship of an older antiquity than that of the tenths, which air. Baked considers u some 700 or 890 years old. MIDDLE-MAW EDUCATION. • A large and influentially-attended county meeting wan held in Suffolk on Tuesday, in compliance with a requi sition promoted to the Fail of Uradbroke, Lord•Lientanant, by 700 of the nobility, clergy, and y , to promote the foundation of a district memorial to o late Prince 010•0116 "in remembrance of his unceasing and enlightened endeavours to promote the interests of the nation at bur by advancing education and loaning art and science in every bnnch, and particularly in agriculture." The requi nitioskt. further expressed t belief that nothing could better aooord with the opinions uttered by the Prince When he visited Suffolk in 1851, and indeed with the aim and object of his entire life, than a " middleoless college " , ft* eompletiag, by a practical and scientific tralnieg, the education of that large and important section of society. The Earl of STRADBROIM presided over the meeting, his lordship being supported by Lord Henniker, M.P., Sir C. J. F. Banbury, Sir F. Kelly, M.P., Mr. C. Austin, High Steward of the Borough of Ipswich, Sir G. H. Broke- Middleton, Sir E. C. Herrison, H.P., Major Parker, M.P., Hr. it. J. H. Harvey, Hr. H. Wilson, and other leading meaty gentlemen. On the motion of Sir E. C. KERBISON, M.P., seconded by Sir F. KELLY, a resolution was adopted to the effect that a nasty manorial should be raised ie honour of the late Prince Consort, and that a school or college for the scien tific end practical education of the youth of the middle elate at a moderate cost would well accord with the views of the illustrious Prince, and be of permaaset benefit to the county. It err also resolved that subscriptions should be solicited far rthepd inetintioo the following sums being an usee. amid Iced cheer s es having been already contri buted :—The Earl of Stradbroke, 5001. ; Sir E. Benison COOL ; Mr. Wilma, 600/. ; Lord Henniker, WOE ; Sir F. 6601. ; Mr. Law, 1004 for five y earn • Sir J. Broke -1001. for fi ve T . ; Sir a Bunia 1001. for five years; Mr. E. Garrett and family, NM ; Mr . Austin, 1001. ; Mr. R. J. H. Harvey, 1061. ; and Mr. Citatory, 1001. Several other sadism addressed the nretiag, various suggestions being made as to extending the instruction im parted in the school to a practical acquaintance with me chanics, political menoety, constitutional law and history, &c. The preemedinge, which extended over several hours, closed with a vote of thanks to the noble chairman, moved by Lard Henniker, and carried by acclamation. THE ARTESIAN WELL AT BRIGHTON. The Brighton Guardian. of yesterday gives the following additional particulars in reference to the interest. ing discovery we chronicled oe Tuesday On Monday morning the news spread very quickly, and general gratula tion was expressed at the result. The bells of the parish church were set ringing at the expanse of a relieved and thankful churchwarden, the news finding greater publicity still in coneequence of the inquiries thus engendered. The noon of a wet, dismal St. Patrick's Day found about thirty inhabitants at the well-top waiting eagerly for the first pailful of water to be sant up. When it came there arose from the men at the bottom of the top shaft, just as the tub touched the upper ground, three loud cheers. Such • deenoestration was somewhat unexpected ; but Mr. W. Idarchaut, who was present, lad • return round, given by the gentlemen assembled in astyle worthy of theascasion andthe anniversary. The water was then tasted and criticised, and gave general satisfaction. It was full of matter brought up from the shaft, but so far as could be judged was of good quality. This impression has been further enforced by • investigation of • sample sent for the purpose. The water will probably improve in • short time ; but already when filtered it is of good quality and well adapted for all domestic purpose.. Thus, then, the Warren Farm Well is successful—another testimony to the might of per severance. Mr. Maynard, the perish surveyor, has exer cised a general superiatendence throughout, but the main labour has devolved upon the acting superintendent, Mr. fluggett. The work has served to utilise purr labour ; the order " two" or more " days at the Warren," ena blieg the ntepayers to receive many a good quid for the quo of relief which would otherwise have had to be given without any return whatever having been made to the public. Only one casualty—that, however, a fatal one—has happened during the progress of the work. This fact shows that much care must have been exercised. After the tasting process had been gone through, the depth of the water was memared. It had increased to 4100 feet. At 6 p.m. the depth was 711 feet, the water rising at the rate of several feet per hour, with the seething motion to which we have before alluded. Yesterday morning at 6 o'clock the depth was 787 feet, or within 79 feet of the top of the lower shaft, still seething and bubbling. The rate of rise was then ascertained to be about eight feet per hour. At 130 p.m. the water had reached to within 49 feet of the top of the small abaft ; etill rising. It was con fidently expected that before late into the night the water would have overflowed into the upper shaft. Should it do so, of wane it will be quite easy to get at ; the mere putting down of a pump will ensure an unlimited supply. Should the water rise to the surface—a consumma tion hardly to be andeipated—we need hardly say that the well would bourne • sort of natural waterworks whence pipes would conduct the fluid all over Brighton. Certainly, if a piles of smaller bore had been put down— the well, in fact, hued instead of dug—then, no doubt, the water would have risen to the surface ; but under pre sent circumstances such a thing is hardly to be expected. As it is, the force of water at the botton'must be irimienee to raise the superincumbent weight to even its present height. The success is not to go uncommemorated. On Thursday main( all the operators are to dine together at the Town hall, by invitation of Mr. Henry Cett, when they will no doubt be met by many of the board of guardians and other townsmen." ACCIDENT TO MAJOR BRUCE.—PARsoNSTOWN, TUESDAY EVICONG.—An accident, apparently of a very serious character, occurred yesterday afternoon to Major Bruce, adjutant King's Comity Militia, and late of the 18th Royal Irish. This respected gentleman had left his resi dence in Pantonstown mounted OD a young and spirited hone, and had not pro ceeded for from the two when he encountered a drove of pigs, which were being driven along the road from the fair of Cloghan. In avoiding the pigs, the kern swerved on the footpath and then stembled by which Major Bate was precipitated oo the ground, face internat, with considerable violence, aud so much so as to inflict several severe cuts and contusions on his face and head. One of his teeth was broken, several were loosened, sod the tongue considerably lacerated. He was rendered insensible, and when taken up was bleeding pro , finely. Some men passing supported hint by the arms to the madames of Dr. Woods, which is close beside, where he was promptly treated, end attended to by Dn. Woods and Baker. HO soon as it was deemed advisable he wee re moved to his own house at John's•place, where he is at moot magma to bed, and suffering from these injuries. No unfavourable symptoms have ss yet appeared, and the hopes of his eventual recovery are sanguine.—Souudere News. CRYSTAL PALACE.
