Very great ihiluence in this -•., &lilt: ANGLING IRESEI:VATION SoLiEry /...t,itt.ittet. of this society, with sev e ral • .1 paid t'teir annual visit on Satunlay to the .• ..ea; 114 for hatching trout and admen, at 11:uripton. 1:.. re. antler the skilful charge of Mr. Ponder, who, in his c , I. is converted one of his greenhouses into a t ,t.:.,t.hitng-litaise, the visitors inspecttal the curious mid e •-fel methml by which the Thames is, by-and-by, :di% e with silvery salmon and speckled trout. The s i•lt WAR SO timed that an opportunity was afforded of hundreds of infant fishes wriggle their way out ef the egu, aid swim feebly off, bewildered in their new foead fre..lma. The spawn is brought from various parts 14 the to and when the fry have become fully deve lept•l flay are conveyed to the breeding pond at Sunbury , •• let ine.l loose into the Thames as soon as they are to tight their own way in the watery T . ...tt way, no doubt, is full of perils, anel it is to say how many of the Hampton-horn tribes is ,e., a pray to the fierce voracity of the pike and porch. I.u: it 1< certain that out of the 206,009 fish turned into the Thames since Poll a large per tentage have remained ,;er and multiply year by year. As far as the trout it. concerned there can be no question as to the r• s It.. of the Lesair of love in which the society has been I. Whereas formerly the only trout caught in the • :, r were tin-lusty fish pecolier to the Thames,and named :.ft• r it, ',nailer fish of other breeds are now captured, awl ra..y he se e n at vari o u s point,. above Hampton, leaping and I ;tat. king during the smellier evenings. In few years the Ti, t.ucn ought to be one of the finest trout rivets in the taa.try. Each season the society turn adrift about 40,01.10 .!tong young fish. Last year there were thrown in, of salmon I 1;001, salmon trout Mkt, common trout 20,700, great lake trait 1.4. - s) and rime ',MO. This year the numbers will la. considerably increased. In Dud about 2,utiu grayling were tidied, and very recently two or three specimens of this game fish have been taken. Regarding the salmon, the experiment may be Raid to be still a debateable point with many mduralists. Sonic maintain that the pollutions ls! . the Thames are fatal to its success as a salmon river, that it is impossible for a single fish to pass from • travesend to Weatuiinster alive. After the champagne luncheon that succeeded the inspection ou Saturday this !aim was taken up by Mr. Frank liuckland, whose faith in I. society's operation', and enthusiasm in the art of salmon culture, neither ridicule nor predictions of failure coo shake. In the course of a charming addreas on " The cultivation of salmon rivers with especial refiT.nce to the Thames," he insisted that if the Thames, with :.11 its wealth of tributaries, were thoroughly con served and freed from the evil effects of stake-nets, weirs, waterwheels, poisonous mill sewage, &c., it would be a noble salmon river, conferring great benefits upon the public at loge. It will prob ably surprise many to know th it in the season of Rea; lallingsgate was supplied at an average of Is. aid. per lb. with the following number of box. , of salmon, each box containing 1121b5., and from 12 to II fish : —Scotch, 21,725 ; Irish, 9,326 ' • Dutch, 1,772; Norwegian, 1,1;32 ; Welsh and En g lish, 1,563 — making a total of 30,018 boxes, whose value was over 3ilo, l slot. Of course, if only a portion of the 50,000 salmon placed in the Thames by the society during the past six sea sons have remained, the advantages that will follow from a merely commercial point of view must be immense. Scot- Lail of course still senile the largest quantity of salmon but on the whole its supply ha s f or so me years diminished: In lian, when it sent more than in any subsequent year, 42,330 boxes were sent, while Ireland sent but 470. In 1+ 4 4 scotlanil had fallen to 22,603 boxes, while Ireland had riaen to 5,444, Although from 1834 to 1842 no salmon were ohnittel from Holland, Norway, or Wales, there is but little difference between the total weight and price of io.ported salmon then and now. The returns for 1808 as pi e n on Saturday, show that while the supply from Si;ot land still decreases, that of all other sources has increased in an unusual ratio. Last autumn a middle-sized salmon was taught oil (Iravesend, and our readers may remember the warm controversy that arose upon the question, " How did he get there?" Mr. Rucldand showed a cast of the fish on Saturday, and strongly reiterated the opinions he published at th e: time, that the admen came neither from the l'orkibirst rivers on the one hand, nor the Hampshire streams on the ether, but that it was one of the society's own progeny. It was stated by one of the comixany that a bmitinan had testified to seeing salmon leaping in the Thames during the pr esent . year, but as the man acknowledged he hail never aee'd a salmon afore," the story was considered unworthy of credence. Saturday'. gathering altogether was extremely pleasant to all who felt an interest in fish and fishing, not only from the inspection of the fish-hatching apparatus, butfrum the speeches made by M r . S. Whithivail, M.P., the chairman (who with his father has from the trot been an active supporter of the society), by Mr. I'huiler, Mr. Frank Duckland, Mr. W. H. Brougham (the 'secretary>, and others. According to Mr. Menziee, of Windsor, who has devoted much attention to the purl- Ecation of the Thames, it would appear there is a very hopeful prospect for those who wish to see the noble stream in a less polluted state than it now is. During a comparison of notes among-it some of the old anglers pre seat, one gentlenuin thought it might be found profitable to stock the Thames with pike-perch, a very eatable fish, found in the Elbe, Oder, and other continental rivers. It was thereupon suggested by the chairman that it was opal to question whether, granting that there is one par titmlar fish for which every river is hest adapted, the salmon is the fish for the Thames. The hon. gentleman, in COIIIIIIOII with many eminent piseiculturists, appeared to be in favour o f th e big Thames trout. In arranging the miler of saturdavat proceedings some weeks before, Mr. Flimiell was placed upon the list of speakers, and his reeent death was now feelingly referred to by several of hi ald frieuils. Amongst the company were Mr. R. Hard waae, the publisher, and Mr. Hooper, barrister, who is hut. perh a ps, genera lly k nown as th e author of the capti- Tutu " History of a Salmon," published during last year T!:r. 11 t1NE iiok , E SHAY" AND TUE Porg.—A It o rno, dated the ledh, says:—" Prussian re pre,entatives are not to be trilled with now, either in 1:. , 10, or anywhere else.

The prisoner trade no reply ; witne.s then got on a chair, and looking over the top of the door perceived the prisoner defacing the enamel tablet with a pocketknife. As soon as the door was open he took him into custody, and with the assistance of another constable conveyed him to the police-station. John Richardson, station -master, stated that the pri soner was brought to him yesterday at about 2 o'clock on the above charge.

Mr. Sayer, from the office of Mr. Edward Lewis, Great Msrlborough•street, appeared on the part of Mr. Richards, and said the prisoner had not only got drunk and smashed his master's carriage nearly to pieces, but he had also seri ously damaged the carriage of the Earl of Caslogan. Police-constable Norrish Pike, M C, said that about 12 o'clock on Saturday night be saw a carriage coming along South Audley-street at a rapid rate, there being no driver on the box ; the prisoner, who had been driving it, having, he afterwards found, fallen off the box drunk.

Hamden has the power of refusing to grant leases to those persons who have built houses, &c., upon his estate, without having first obtained a lease. Since this decision a considerable number of these tenantry hare memorialised Sir John to ol d them leases for 99 years, under the powers of the PO &tate Leasing Act, 1859 ; and in his reply to the memorialists Sir John said he wished to forget all past differences, and "to make such arrangements for the future as shall he just and satisfactory to all parties." Since then, in a letter addressed to Mr. Wright Mellor, Huddersfield, Sir John announcesbia intention of applying to parliame nt for powers to grant !caws for Lutgl years and states that a petition to the House of Lords to that effect has already been presented, and the bill which has been prepared willlbe introduced as quickly as the forms of parliament will allow. In 1859 Sir John made a similar application, but at that time the Lords refused to grant ham power to give leases for a thousand years. FOUNDERING or FOUR SHIPS AND Loss OP LIFE. —Uygur - sm., Sarcamtr.—The intelligence received here to-day from Ireland is of the most distressing character. .1 Queenstown despatch states that a heavy easterly gale prevailed off that port on Thursday and Friday, doing great damage to the shipping in the neighbourhood. On Thursday afternoon two vessels were observed to founder off the coast, and it is feared that all on board have perished. The barque Helga has foundered off Bally cotton, and portions of wreckage found near that place lead to the general belief that some large steamer had foundered in the vicinity with all on board. On Thurs day evening a vessel firing blue rockets was observed close to where the wreckage Is being washed ashore. The Queen Hortense, which left Trinidad for the Clyde on the 2nd February, was abandoned on the 21st February in lat. 39 N., lon. 59 W., in a sinking state, having encoun tered fearful weather shortly after leaving Trinidad. The , 1 crew were saved by the ship Westmoreland, bound from I Liverpool to New York. The stoamtug Cruiser has been deepatched from Queenstown in search of the abandoned ships. The steamer Andalusia, bound from New York to Charleston, has been destroyed by fire off Hatteras. The I ships Washington and Rimy Glover are reported ashore on 'Vancouver's Island. The former would be a wreck, and had been abandoned, but it was expected that the Mary Glover would be got off.

The show of foreign wheat was by no means extensive, yet all kinds meta slow inquiry, at last Monday's cur . _ English barley came slowly to hand ; but the supply of foreign was good. Sales progressed slowly, at the late de cline in value. Malt was in full average supply, and sluggish request, on former terms. Although the supply of oats was less extensive than in several previous weeks, the oat trade was quiet, on former tenni+. The supply of beans was good.

In the Stock Exchange to-day attention is directed to the election of the committee of that establishment to act for the next twelvemonth, and little other business is going forward. The funds arc unchanged. Most of the English rail way stocks have improved, but the advance has been principally caused by purchases to cover previous speculative sales, the weak financial position of two or three companies, and perhaps the absence, in the case of the Brighton, of any definitive arrangement with the engine. drivers, preventing any investments of importance on account of the public. Italian bonds are in quired for, upon the satisfactory tenor of the political news from Italy, but other foreign securi ties show dulness. As usual at this period of tho quarter, there is a good demand for money, and the supply his con siderably diminished.

" Pre-preference " stock, will be opposed by the different classes of preference-holders, on the grounds—first, that it would be an injustice that a majority of ordinary shareholders should thus oust the prior claims of the preference-holders, who for the most part would have no voice in a decision taken at a meet ing of the company; and secondly, that it is directly opposed to the principles of railway legislation laid down by Lord Redesdale. A general meeting of shareholders of the Great Luxembourg Company is convened fur the 3rd of April, in London, preparatory to the meeting ad vertised to be held in Brussels on the 9th.

SUIEI OE or A SOLDIER.--A young man, named George Bond, aged 19 years, whose parents reside at Ports. wood, near Southampton. and who enlisted as a soldier in January, left hie home last Thursday sennight, his furlough having expired that slay, and returned, as his parents sup posed, to his regiment. Ou the following Wednesday morn ing ayoung woman living at Portswond, observed a soldier, who subsequently proved to be Bond, walking beckwards and forwards for some half an hour on the banks of the Itchen, and at hat he jumped into the water. She gave an &Low, and ran to the spot with one or two other persons, where they found a cap on the railings, inside which was the following paper :—" Portawood, Tuesday night, 6 o'clock, March 19.—T0 all who it may concern.—l, George Bond, jun., is now about to take a farewell view of this world by taking a dive from the bridge at Woodmill, so whoever should find this slip of paper will know that I dome it myself. The reason of my doing so is this. I enlisted a soldger a short time ago. I have a dislike for the army. Rather than desert or go back to Aldenhott Camp, I would make a confusion (1, and die any death, drowning I prefer. —I am, ec., Gunter. Ihisu, Southampton.

Nothing was men of the body, but there was a hole in the weeds where he had apparently jumped in, and on search being made by some who subsequently arrived in boats, the boil was found. At the inquest the above facts were prov and a man named Wyatt, who lived at St. Denys, and known the deceased from childhood, stated that lie last saw Lint alive on the previous Friday, when he appeared very cheerful, and in the course of conversation said he did not like soldiering at first, but liked it better since he had got on with his drill. Witness had never known his mind affected, and had no reasson to suppose that he was likely to commit suicide. No evidence could be produced to prove insanity, and the jury having returned a verdict of freedeor, the coroner issued his warrant for the inter ment of the body without Christian rites, between 9 and 12 the same night. Klro ALFRID'S FORTS is HERTFORDSHIRE.—It is believed that the rites of the two fortresses King Alfred erected against the Danes in 896, on the river Lee, nese Ware, are ascertained. At a meeting of the St. Albans Archaeological Society held last week, Mr. Pollard, of the Old Cross, Hertford, read a paper to the effect that the forts were, one at Great Amwell, the ramparts and Suet of which still remain ; the other opposite, on the north of the valley, in a field still called Garrison Field. The en trenchments of this fort were levelled some years ago, but the outworks still remain. Mr. Polked also believes he has discovered the site of the fort the Danes threw up near Were the preceding autumn, 895. A communiciti. el from Bell ast announces that the new steamer Earl of Dublin, belonging to the Dublin and Glasgow line of steamers, had gone ashore near Ballybal bert, and was making water. The passengers and crew have sucoeelid in getting safely to land. The American philanthropist, Mr. Peabody, has given—To his relations, 2,000.000 dels. ; to the pour of London, 2,250,000 dols. ;to the Grinnell Arctic Expe dition. 19,000 dole. ; to the towns of Danvers and Salem 100.000 dole . ; to the city of Baltimore, 1,000,000 Bois, ; to Phillips' Academy. 25,000 dole. ; to the Massachusetts' Historical Society, 20,000 dole. ; to the Baltimore His torical s oc iety, 2..,000 dole. ; to Heroin' College, 150.000 dole. ; to Yale College, 150.000 dole. ; to the South, 2,000,000 dole. • to the Essex Museum, Salem, Matosichu setts, 150,000 'doh. ; to tbo Institute, Newbui port. biassachneette, 15,000 dohs. ; to Bishop ticllvaine, for col- lege in West. 2.5,000 dols. : total, 7,821 2 000 doh. THE li !STORY OF A PIOT RM.—The administra tion of the museums has just placed another picture by Raphael in the great gallery of the Louvre. The history of this picture, which represents St. John the Baptist preaching, and which was engrave.' in the 17th century as one belonging to the royal collection, is estmmely curious. It was in such a bad state that the appraisers of the museum declared it to be of no value in the inventory they drew up at that period. The Due de Maine having asked Louis X VIII. to give him a picture for his church, his Majesty could think of nothing better than this con demned Raphael. The priest, however, found it in too bad a state to be put into the church, and re turned it to the duke, who had it thrown into his garret. His grace dying under Louie Philippe the picture was sold by auction. together with other furniture, and was knocked down to a picture dealer for arfr. The Civil List nevertheless claimed it as unalienable national pro perty. and a long law suit ensued, which ended before the 4:siert of Caseation ; the dealer was forced to return the picture, on reviving back his 59 francs; and out of spite he took off all the paint he bad put on with a view to restore it ; and this was a fresh cause of deterioration. At length the picture was returned to the lumber room of the museum in a pitiable state, riddled with boles in certain parts, and yet beautifully preserved in certain others. It was not easy to find an artist capable of restoring it so no to render it fit to be seen ; at length, however, M. Florent Willem, a well. known Belgian painter, who has been known sometimes to equal Meirsonier, bethought himself of his former occu pation of picture-ckaner, and consented to undertake the work. lie has been several years engaged in the task, end has eventually succeeded beyond expectation. The painting is now in excellent condition ; the head of St. John has not been touched, nor the landscape either. There is a repetition, by Raphael himself, of this picture at Florence, but the Perin copy is far superior. It him been in France ever since the time of Francis 1., fur the canvas is stamped with the name of a lady who died in 1320.—Galt/mans. CRYSTAL PALACE. HALF-A-CROWN DAY.

WIMBLEDON COMMON AND EARL SPINCER. The Wimbledon Common Committee, appointed at • pub lic meeting the 14th of March, 1866, have just lamed the first report of their labours during the year. They state that the principal points to which their attention has been directed were—the assumption by the Earl Spencer of the right to enclose and build upon the common, to dig gravel and bog-earth and other soil, and taking up the sod from the common. Shortly after their appointment the earl established a brick manufactory and tile-kiln, with sheds and other buildings. The committee obtained at the outset competent legal advice on the nature and extent of his lordship's rights. A correspon &nee ensued between him and their secretary (Mr. T. B.
