DRAMA. "MUMBO JUMBO" AT SOUTH KENSINGTON. A grand fete and bazaar, in aid of the building _ . _ ad of the Female School of Art, will be held in the Hor ticultural Gardens and Exhibition Amadei on Thursday, ridgy, and Saturday next, sad part of the entertainments will consist of a ne► burlesque, called Mumbo Jumbo, or the Mountains the Moms near the Gaboom, which has been " invented and produced," according to the prospectus, " by few well wisher. "of the institution. As the whole the will be under the immediate patronage of her Majesty and the Princess of Wales, to say nothing of a whole airing of titled ladies, and as the Prince and Princess of Wales have signified their intention of being present at the first per formance of this burlesque, the manager. of the fete are naturally anxious that everything should go off as smoothly as possible, and to forward this end they bad a dross rehearsal of Mumbo Jumbo on Saturday afternoon. The audience were chiefly composed of the friends of the amateur actors and the South Kensington managers, but as "the press" were specially invited to attend, we presume that some critical notice of Mambo Jumbo is sought for. After making every allowance for the half-charitable chi. nectar of the performance, and for the fashionable follies of fancy fairs in general, we must say that Mambo Jumbo is the most remarkable production we have over witnessed. It is wonderful that any one has been found to write it ; more wonderful that a company, out of Colney Hatch, has been got to appear is it; and moot wonderful that the great Science and An Department seems to smile with ap proval upon it, unless the rumours be true that Mr. Cole takes a family interest in it. Though eked out by a comic ballet—got up by Mr. F. Payne, and therefore gcod -21,,,nbv Jumbo will only play about ten minutes, and this may be a reason for not analysing it very severely, bat in the name of wholesome nonsense—the back•boo, of all sound recreation—we must ask whether the production of such a piece will be respectful to a royal sod distinguished audience '.' Let us give a quotation from the dialogue (The Moon appears, in tears.) Enter the Mood, alone (chants). I . am the Mom, with my silver sheen— Shaw, not shorn, I meta—and my spoon. Enter liager Oger (speaks from his cheeks)—Ah ! paha!! ♦s !! (I.kioces and prances with ferocious glances). Hum . mum! (Puts his rube to his nte). Ho! So!! No!!! (Intones with groan.)

Tu, m, lu; tu, ru, lu; Tu, ru, lu ; tu, ru, lu. (The Bee comes forward.) The Bee brings the pea! Boger Oger fat. OD his knee! (Tbe Bee can't sing, but flaps his wing.) Air.--•• Where the Bee sucks." Mine's the money, where the honey, Fill, the dower after shower, There with swag I till my bag. On a thorn I rest forlorn, Nor wag. nor lag, with my rag and tag. This Bee, like Boger Oger, the Moon, the King, and three Princesses, who form the rad of the characters, playa such an uaintalligibie part in the drama, that we fancy he must Lan been the original bee who was in the bourne of the author. Fortunately his utterances, like shove of the rest of the characters, are short ; for the human mind is very weak, and lunacy like this is catching. Muntho Jumto, we may add, has been published with a profusion of mock. pedantic notes, and several very excellent modern-antique illustrations by Kens ofjthe art students. The fancy-fair will doubtless be well arranged, and we give an outline of the programme : L Each stall will be under the superintendence of a lady patroness, assisted by students of the school, who will under. take all the business arrangements. 2. At the opening of the hisser, her Royal Highoese the Princess of Wales will be received by each lady patroness at her respective stall. Z. Each stall will hare only one description of articles. 4. The objects to be sold will principally consist of works of art and all kinds of artist's materials, paintings in oil and water colours, sculptural, drawings is chalk, pen and Ink S:c., engravings. lithographs, and chromolithographs, etchings, photolithographs, photographs, wood engra vings; also of laoe, embroidery of all kinds, needlework, clothes for the poor, toys, dm. 5. A stall will consist of curiosities and objects of vertu, for which donations are solicited. 6. Other stalls will be appropriated to art manufactures of all kinds, such as pottery, porcelain, majolica, glass, leather, carvings, fre.., to which manufacturers and oth ers are solici ted to oontribote. 7. One or more stalls will be for lam, needlework, and em broidery of all kinds, to which ladies are specially invited to contribute. 8. Ono stall for the best toys of all nations. 9. Some musical amateurs and others will give their assist ance. 10. A military band will be in attendance. In addition to this there will be a " Richardson's Show, " sustained by amateurs , and Be. Toole and Yr. Paul Bedf ord assist with some plessaat lannunery. SOLDIERS' DAUGHTERS' HON E. —The eighth an neal general meeting of the subscribers and friends to the &Idiom' Daughters' Home, Hampstead, was held oe Satur day afternoon in the thea tre of the Upheld Service Institu tion, Great Scotland-yard ; the Duke of Wellington, K.G., presided. The children had been brought from the Home at Hampstead in vans, and were accommodated with seats round the theatre of the institution, and in their bright scarlet dresses and black mantles presented • moat interest ing appearance, and excited the deep sympathy of the cola paay assembled. The report stated that the general modi fies of thu Home during the past year afforded ground for thankfulesse The almost perfect immunity from sickness which it had sejoyed when surrounded by epidemic disease, and the support it continued to receive, called for grateful acknowledgment. The financial condition was, on the whole, one of progress, altheugh it was to be regretted there was • diminution in the amount of sonnal sulmeriptioas. Coe tributions from regiments were on the increase, and had this year been largely promoted by an assault of arms given by the Royal Brigade of Household Cavalry, node, the patronage of the Priem of Wales, which produced more thee 2271.

Boileau having addressed the meeting oe some alterations which bad been made in the roles of the insti tution, the Chaplain-General moved the first resolution, electing General Boileau as president of the managing com mittee for the ensuing year. Colonel Hogg, in secoodieg the motion, dwelt upon the necessity of an Moreau of annual subscribers to maintain the iestitntion in proper efEciencr. The resolution was carried. On the motion of Dr. Dickson, seconded by the Rev. Mr. Langmead. the OHM. hers of the council, 11101, reelected for the earning year, and General Boileau acknowledged the comph meat. The chairman then diatriboted the good conduct prizes to the young women who had left the school and were in service (a sum of 21. each), with kind and appro priate remarks. The Duke of Wellington expressed the gratification be fell in presiding on such au interesting occasion. sod admitted the propriety of energetic measures being taken with a view to increase the amount of the annual subscription. to the chanty, and as example was better than . precept. he hoped the ladies and gentlemen would follow h is example by placing their name, dome on paper for increased aeons' subscriptions.

THE MEETINGS IN HAMPSHIRE. -- TO TUE =7Ol OP Tat 11711/28. - BIN —The proceedings of the past week were unimportant, generally speaking, the only infuriating ques tion raised by the Newton and Hampton results being whether Victorious may not be as good a two-year old et Lid disstos, for be beat Advance at Hampton jut as easily as Mr. Merry's colt did in the New Makes at Ascot. Leery thing can be learned on this point, however, at Stockbridge. when Anti•Macamar (second to Victorious at Epsom), sad Wild Boy (second to Liddingtou in his first race at Aaeot. are likely to meet, and thus it would only be premature to attempt arriving at any conclusion upon it just new. There are other circumstances to assist in investing the racing to take place (hunt* the current week with more thea ordinary importance, the programme issued for Stock bridge containing many interesting two year-old events, whilst it is by far the moat attractive ever framed for the meet*, which has become No popular of late_ years, that the three days instead of two hardly allow niftiest time to get through the work ; and if Tartithe had •• too much of a good thing" at Ascot, what will they think of the forthcoming campaign, with twenty-six public rams and half .a-score of machos in three days Odiham is sufficiently close to Stockbridge to become iden tified therewith, end tew will neglect to make a call on Tuesday on their way to the more select affair, a fair pro gramme of sport being made up. However, the probable destination of the handicaps depends on what may be cleated to do battle for this* stables with several representatives in each ; and the Hurstbourne Stakes, for two-year-olds, half smile, is only a question of Grappler starting, he having much the best of the weights with both Blackbird and Simple Maid. . . - i'ließibury Club mom, decided at Stockbridge, are Dearly all waged to Wednesday, when the interest will mainly °Goths is the two-year-old Biennial, in which is swaged Mr. Merry's much-talked of Wild Charley, besides The Duke, another heavily backed candidate forth. Derby that has never run ; and if the latter is preferred to his stable companions Kalil& and Shrepuell by the Damburyites, the Non of Wild Dayrell must prove es good as be is amerted to be to beat him. Whatever wine will establish a glorious reputation, for besides the Count de Lagrange's good-looking La Fortune and Botha:ago, and Ostregor, who have only run in public to get beaten, there are Anti-Mamma, Wild Boy, and Jezebel, whose form must be written A 1, the only question being whether the latter ma get the distance. But this doubt does not exist with regard to any of the others ; and with Wild Charley, the best of the Danbury lot, Anti- Macassar, and 11 ild Boy among the starters, the contest will be the most important one between two-year olds that has been witnessed as yet this season, the two mom of Wild Dayrell being the most promisieg. The Champagne Stakes, five furlongs, where Rothoinsgo has a mooed engagement, is sot so important an affair, ame of the twenty-three sub scribers having shows great form, although Missionary and Trapeze might be first elms, the letter having cleverly dis posed of The Star in a match at Newmarket, whilst Mis sionary did Dot get away with his opponents at Bath. His looks are a great recommendation, and if equal to them, he ought to win, although he must be more than moderate to beat Siberia and Trapeze. In the &bury Handicap, one mile and a halt, General Hems is well treated, Welbeck, is the same interest, having sa good a reason to feel satisfied ; still, Raglan is "beet in, end if John Day an find a better ally is Canary or Tenant!s the rise will hardly be oarried away from Stockbridge. The =met of Mention in th•100f. Plate is a very Indent one, as is also that of Vahalathus in the five (wimp Handicap, wherein Lord Uxbridge has Jnpon also to oppose the mighty Donebary interest, which is also well represented in the Beaufort Handicap, two miles ; and with three of William Day's in the swim also, leaving only Mr. Cartwright and Mr. Craven to be beaten by the brothers, they may make warty as greet a certainty of it as they dad lase year. The three-yr-old Benial, one mile sad a half, must be won by Ely, unless Young Rapid can show his Ascot Vase form again ; but it will puzzle the talents to find the winner of the Stockbridge Cup, as the seven furlong course is too much for Attraction, who beside* gives 341 b to a fear 2-yr.old like Cordoba, with bib and the year to the 4-yr-old Eleanor, who was third for the last Octo ber Handicap to the Monk and Man-at. Arms. Then we have Gamma only giving 81b for two years to At traction, and on the strength of her running at Epsom with Vivid, Lord Stamford's mare ought to win. In the Mottle , font Stakes Mr. Merry has both Liddington and Wild Charley ; and while almost certain to reserve the fiat named for the July and Chesterfield Stakes (worth over 3,0001. in the aggregate), Wild Charley 's performance on Wednesday must display whether he can beat the best of J. Day's—probably Shrapoell, who has a pretty good thing before him in his spin with Blackbird, the only match any light can be thrown upon before the ringing of the eaddliog bell. The Hastings', Fielder, Uxbridge, Railway, Stewards , Visitors', and Vi estmoreland Plates are mere lotteries at present; and the Troy Stakes, for two-year-olds, five far. loam is Dot in a much better plight, so many of the two more mitered having prior engagements, with licetigCor della, Castregor, and Shrapnel among the number. What ever their performances may say for those, however, great confidante will be due to Tennyson and Gardevisure, and well-wishers of the meeting may crake sure of a spirited race inaugurating this rich stake. The Geotlenieu's Derby, two miles, will afford the Count a favourable opportunity of losing his maideohood, for he receives nearly three stogie from Cellar OD, and 710. from Welbeck, who are the best of his opponents, the old mare being the most dangerous of the par. The Stewards' Plate, two miles, may be rather too high pm. for him to fly at, the stable possessing a more trustworthy ally in Lad Zetland ; and if they are in earnest with him he may only have to fear The Major, Idler's day not being so near et baud perhaps. The Denebury Nursery, for two-year olds, hat a mils, is well named, the home stable being very for midable with the Duke of Beaufort's Lansdowne or &bees, who have all the beet of the weights, with everything but the promising Gipsy Boy and the Star, who have yet, however, to prove equal to their looks. Beverley is the oily other fixture of the week besides those in Hampshire, the most interesting event to bedecided there during Wednesday and Thursday being the Biahep Burton Stakes, for twoyear-olds, wherein John Osborne can boast of two excellent performers in Spring Gun and Wild Agues, the beet of which will have to beat something good in Weatherglass, Blackbird or Benanoar The Leader, Nothing More, end th e Frangipanni colt, the latter being not unlikely to upset the brown jacket. For the Beverley Cup, one miloate-a-Itelf, Dr. Hooke and Fontenoy are both penalised, and Oreville has not *a much the worst of the weights as be bad originally, be having bat Veasen to fear, as Bypermnestre has figured most inglotionaly of late. I can see nothing worth recommending for the other events, unless they bring out the slashing Cutts Hill for the paltry Grimace Plate, which there is some rams to doubt, certainty as it looks-1 am, he.

This wig an action to mover two sums of 250 i. and 1204 from the defeodaet, a solicitor, on the ground that be bad concealed from the plaintiff the terms upon which be had compromised two action, which be bad been instructed to bring for the plaintiff, whereby he had lost the money. The defendant pleaded nine plea in mower to the decla ration. ii.Weddy was counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., Mr. Raymond, and Mr. Kemp* wen cannel for the defendant. _ _ _ The phrintiff had been enpged for some time past in various pursuits, bat principally of a literary character, and he was at one time one of the Edueatiocal Commissimen. In the beginning of 1863, the plain. tiff, having no occupation, was engaged to promoting the Midland Banking Company (Limited), and he also acted as the secretory. Some time after the bank was handed over to responsible persona, who had 'greed to give a certain sum as promotion money to the plaintiff and two persons named Kimberley and Stephens, for the risk, trouble, and expense they had been put to in getting up the company. After the transfer of the company plaintiff remained with the new company as secretary, for which he claimed 120 t. The whole of the promotion money was paid to Kimberley land Stephens, but he never obtained his stare, and believing he had a claim on the new company for it be mentioned the circumstance to Mr. Walton, one of the shareholders, and be introduced the plaintiff to the defeodan t, who was his attorney, to endeavour to obtain the roomy. Writs were imsed, and to a certain extent the company was as the plaintiff's mercy. Oa the 15th May Mr. Morris, the solicitor acting for the com pany, called on the defeedant, and negotiation. took place between them with a view tea settlement, sad a letter was addressed by the defendant to Messrs. Kimberley and Pope, Messrs. Kimberley and Stephens' indicators, stating that the actions had been satisfactorily settled, and be begged to request the return of the original writ. He also wrote to the plaintiff that all matters were satisfactorily settled • but that above all things he was to keep his own counsel and be perfectly elect, and trust him implicitly, or else it might cause great unpleasantness. He was to speak to nob od y, trust nobody, and write to nobody. The settlement wan by a guarantee, which was subsequently destroyed. About this time it wee suggeeted en the part of the defendant that the plaintiff should leave London, and be supplied him with 101. for the purpose of his going to Jersey, bet before he left Mr. Walton brought him a letter in the defendant's handwriting for him to sign, autho rising the defendant to receive from Mr. John Morris the two several fume of 1201. and 2501. dm to him in these seems, and guaranteed to be paid to him by Mr. John Mor rie, and direcuag that the defendant's receipt should be an effectual discharge. Plaintiff returned from Jersey and re. peatedly called on the defendant, who said be hid got a settlement of the whole of the debts and costa, for an expla• nation, but be failed in obtaioiog one. It was alleged that the defendant went to Mr. Morris with the guarantee and al lowed him to destroy it, receiving in return another dated 16th May, 1863, the mine date as the original, which was that in consequence of the plaintiff's staying all pro ceedings, Mr. Morrie personally undertook on behalf of the bank, and Messrs. Kimberley and Stephens, the promoters, to pay all such sums to the plaintiff as might be agreed upon as just and remand:4e between him and the defendant The plaintiff did sot charge the defendant with intentional fraud, but be believed he had been outwitted by Mr. Morris. The plaintiff made repeated application. to the defendant for the terms of the agreement, but he was unable to get them, and on the 9th July the defendant informed him that he declined to have anything month do with him. Since then Kimberley and Stephens bad been in a position to pay the 2501. After that the documents were inspected order an order of the court. The plaintiff was called, and corroborated the above state. meat. He eaid the board of directors was formed Mimeo the latter end of 1862 and the beginning of 1863. Three cheques, 'amounting to 6000/., were banded over to Masers. Kimberley and Stephens es promotion money, to be divided amongst the promoters, solicitors, brokers, and others. He claimed 2.304 of that sum, and 11501. for salary from the new com pany. He had been paid by them 301. off the LAM amount. The defendant said the first usdertakior was a secret agreement between himself and Mr. Morris. Defendant wanted to issue new write, but be objected, and claimed to go on the original guarantee. Defen dan t said he could not get the money, as the opposite parties would not pay it. Defendant asked him to employ another solicitor and put him into the witness - box, but he refused unless be would inform him why the document had been changed. He first heard at Mr. Chorley's olbos that the original gua rantee was destroyed. Kimberley had sines booms bank rupt and outlawed, and Stephens had left the country. Da the proceedings in baoco the defendant filed a long af fidavit, wherein he stated that he could not induce Morris to carry out his agreement or undertaking, sad that he had always acted towards the plaintiff in good faith. Plaintiff had never received the money or the guarantee. Crces-examined—Defendant furnished plaintiff with his account, and had mover paid him anything. Stephens was the chairman of the Midland Banking Company ; be was one of the promoters of the company. He never paid money towards it, but be gave his security. He rengoed the secre taryship of the travellers schools. Defendant never gave plaintiff • copy of the guarantee. Defendant told him to place every confidence in him, and that Morris was to pay the money when be was to Jersey; he never told the defend ant to get • separate guarantee for him independent of Walton. Defendant said that plaintiffs private letters to Stephens had put difficulties in his way,but be did not think they would be • legal bar, and that Mr. Morris, having dis covered these letters, be had repudiated the settlement. He had not misappropriated the money of the bask. (A letter of the plaintiff to Stephens was put* wherein he said he had never appropriated money, and he begged him to assist him, sod Stephens advanced him 361.). Stephens also lent him 1001., and afterwards deducted 701. out of his salary, but did not give him up the bills, and he had been able to get them. The promotion money was not "hush' motley—he never beard of such a thing. He did not make the claim that he should not betray secrets. He sever wrote an imoymoce letter. He never said that Sir Robert Carden was likely to give Morley • bribe, or mentioned anything about bribery is the city of Gloucester. Re-examined—Sir Robert Carden was always meet friendly towards him. The defendant had sot furnished him with his mociaat. The 'reappraisal with him was that he was not to be paid unless he got the money. He was behind in his accounts with the travellers' school, and he borrowed the money from Stephens to make them all right. Mr. Coleridge, for the defendant, said the plaintiff made three charges; the first wee that the defendant did not inform him how the actions were compromised ; secondly, that be would not give up mettle documents ; and thirdly, that be had received money for the plaintiffs use which he had not paid over. The answer was a simple denial—that the plaintiff did know fromthe beginning the nature of the com promise ; that if be had my documents he had a lieu on them; ad thirdly, that be sever received my money fee the plaintiff. It appeared the plaintiff got hold of Mr. Stephens, who had gone to Mexico, and Mr. Kimberley, who, if he might use the expression in hie presence, had roe to the devil—(laughter}—and set this beak afloat ; sad it would possibly be better for them sot too closely to scrutinies the solvency of those persons. In this case as m many others, they, however, hod get responsible men, and the thing was • MOONS, He should prove that on the 16th of May (Mr. Walton and the plaintiff having before instructed the defendant to bring &Mime against the company) the plaintiff mid Mr. Walton celled at the defendant's office, and he, not liking to submit Mr. Morris to an angry dimmios between him sad Mr. Walton, brought out to them the guarantee unsigned and reed it to them. and the only thing that wee kept teak was Mr. Morris's name. The guarantee was addressed to both of them, and it stated that is consideration of their staying all proceedings, sad undertaking to return all papers coooected with the me, and is the meantime to keep them in a sealed packet, Mr. Morris personally agreed to pay Mr. Walton's claim, with 5 per cent. inte rest, sod such a sum to Mr. Foster as should be agreed upon as just and reasonable by the dales dant and Mr. Morris. The arraagermat to be carried out within • mouth. Mr. Morrie, wider the circamstasoes, did not wish it to be then known that he had agreed to pay the money, sod Mr. Chorley wrote the letter imposieg silence on the plaintiff in consequence The guarantee hod never bean altered, and if Mr. Morris had good reason for not performing it, Mr. Charley could sot compel him. The plaintiff had got the guarantee hots the first, sad he wise now in the same position as be was at first, and be had so right to sue the defendant because Mr. Morris did not carry it out. With regard to the detection of the docu. meet, whereby the plaintiff said he was prevented from putting it in force, there had been no specific application for it, sad the plaintiff's ease, even then, was that he per sisted in saying that Mr. Charley did not take a (traditional guarantee, but an absolute one. There never was asy objection to give up the document, but the pinintiff per sisted in saying there was a guarantee, which in point of feet never bail beep given. The defendant was called. He deposed that when be ap plied to the beak for payment Mr. Stepbens replied by letter that the plaintiff was never recognised as • promoter, that in fact the company was formed long before plaintiff had say connection with them. He only acted as secretary pro tem. when the promotion money was paid, and that his salary had been duly paid. Before be was instructed to proceed plaintiff said he was a party to the promoters' guarantee to the directors to hold them harmless. Plaintiff was unable to stale the amount of the promotion mosey that was paid, but he believed it was 4.0001. He banded the rearsates to the plaintiff, who reed it attentively sad inquired the name of the party who was to sign it, but ha declined to give it He said it was • substantial guarantee. Plaintiff replied he had no doubt it would be satisfactorily arranged, and he gave him authority to take it. It was afterwards Mond by Mr. Morris. Plaintiff at • subsequent date made • copy of the guarantee in defendant's office, tied took it away with him. He had nothing to do with 'sodium the pleistiff to Jersey. When Mr. Waltoo's claim was paid, he took the reareathe to Mr. Morris, an an wee draws eat, es meet copy of the latter part whisk mimed to the plaiatiff and sired by Mr. Morris, The old Ise was gram up to Mr. Morris, who destroyed M a e bad difficulty la Maier the plaintiff's claim la soaseremea of some letters written by Mr. Stripbsee whist, up to that time he had sot am. He did sot receive any mosey for the plaintiff. In the Quess'a Beech the court illielerged the rule obtained maim* hie by the plaintiff. He did net undertake owe ors the "no cure no pay" principle. He bad never been asked to give up the guarantor. He gave • general denial to the plaintiff's evidenoe. The defendant was crou-sumined st coosid' arable length, but hie *video:is in chief wu not shaken. The farther hearing et the cue was then adjourned. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.--JuNs 18. Sittinp in Banco.—(Before Justices Williams, Willis, Kyles sod Keating.) /MON V. THI AcennzTAL DLTH YNNOI ACTION ON ♦ POLICY. This wen an action upon a policy of insurance upon the life of a urn who met his death in this way : He was• very fat man, and sitting down upon a chair with a broken leg be fell on to the Boor, and having a congenital malformation rupture followed, and he died from hernia. The policy in sured against all forms of cute, state, teary, bruises, concus sions, crushes, &c., but not against gout, rheumatism, hernia, erysipelas, or other disease arising within the system of the insured. The matter came before the court upon demurrer to a plea which raised the question whether the company were liable in this case. Mr. Justice Williams—The question was whether hernia, supirinduced by external violence, was within the excepted oases for which the company were not liable. Mr. Coxon, for the plaintiff, contended that death from hernia produced by external violence was a thing which rendered the company liable. Mr. Justice Willes thought that it would be an Muaory policy if it were not so. Mr. J. Browne, for the company, said that there was no medical examination before those policies wee* effected, and therefore there was no means of knowing whether the insured were ill or welL It was upon this ground princi pally that the company wished not to render themselves liable where death came from disease arising within the system of the deceased. As to this particular case the medical books showed that external violence did not often produce hernia union there was a previous weakness in the system. Mr. Justice Williams• said it seemed to him that the question was whether the policy meant that the company should not be liable for death or disability from hermit' generally, or only from hernia arising within the system of the insured.

He regretted, there fore, that be could apt grant him the relief be sought. Rut it was clear that the whole case practically meted upon the unsupported testimony of Gregory. He (Sir J . Wilde) fully concurred in what bad been said by his predecessor (Sir C. Cromwell) on the evidence of spies; and be was even in clined to go further. A person employed to watch the proceedings of another was under the greatest temptation to fled out what he was paid to discover ; for if be reported that he could see nothing amiss he knew that he would of course be instantly dismissed.

A statement was made to the magistrate respecting various frauds which have been recently perpetrated upon foreign housed of business by different fictitious firms in Loudon, who have been sending out orders for goods, and getting posesesion of the good' without m il:4 anything for them. The victim in the present case was Niebulouski, a dealer in grain ►t Troyes, who received orders from two parties, who retorted to a foreign bank, who in reply to an application stated that one of the parties was weU known and highly respectable, but that they did not know so much of the other. 'Upon these representations goods to the amount of 7001. were mot to the former, and this another firm giving the game address wrote, stating that the goods had not come to hand is consequence of a fourth firm having obtained from the railway station the whole of the goods. Inquiries were than set oc foot, sod it turned out that all the names given applied to the mane firm, and that there was no chance of Ai. Niebulouaki ob taining their 7001. for the goods forwarded.

The Early Closing Association, through the medium of Mr. Henry Walker, have for some time past been engaged in the very useful teak of endeavouring tosupply means by which, onoccasions of adequate public interest, a general holiday may be legalised for business purposes, without the re curring necessity of a special Act of Parliament. In several instances of late years the banking and commercial interests have been made painfully aware of the inconvenience arising from the present anomalous state of the law, and the community at large have, therefore, every reason to feel grateful to toe gentlemen through whose exertions a remedy seems likely to be at last arrived at. The following is submitted by the association as the outline of the bill to be introduced, if possible, during the present session of parliament, in order to meet this object, and to protect the commercial interests which may be involved. Bankers, merchants, and traders interested In the matter will do well to strengthen the bands of the association by their counsel and support : BATCH or PROPOSIXI .

From 7h. 33m. to 7h. 50m. the height of the balloon differed but little from 2,700 feet, with a temperature ranging from 51 deg. to 52 deg., being the same as when we first reached that elevatioo. At 7h. 54m. the height was 2,000 feet, and from that time till reach. lug the earth at Bh. 14w., the temperature wee 53 deg, without variation ; on the ground it was found to be 531 deg. The temperature on the earth during the Bight of the balloon, had decreased from 9 deg. to 10 deg., the air at 600 feet above the sea bad decreased by about 6 deg. be. twain the ascending and descending, bat at heights exceed ing 2,000 feet no change had taken place. The temperature at which water was deposited on bright substances, was 44 deg. on the ground, 40 deg. at 2,500 feet, sod 38 deg. at 3,000 feet The degree of humidity of the air was 51 on the ground before starting, complete saturation being represented by 100 ; it was between 60 and 70 in the air, till Th. 50m., and them increased to 77 on the pound. A very delicate blackened bulb thermometer, in the full rays of the sun, read from 1 deg. to 10 deg. above another delicate thermometer placed near to it, with its bulb shaded. At times when the sun did not shine on the blackened bulb, the two thermometers read alike. The sky was cloudless, and the air was clear, excepting in the direction of Leadoff, and the successive views at the ordinary elevation we reached were very beautiful. Shooter's-hill and the several known ele vations were dwarfed to plains. At the height of 3,000 feet sheep were readily distinguished, but the earth seemed to be without inhabitaate, the naked eye could with difficulty distinguish man. The river was seas to it. mouth, end the white cliffs at Mitigate were just visible through mist ; the horizon was misty all round. The contrast between the thickly studded towns and villages of Kent and the few in Ewes eu very marked. There were in the car besides Mr. Colwell sod myself, the following officers :—The Hon. Reg. A.
