MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF AN ENGLISH GENTLEMAN AT ANTWERP. TO Tls KONOIL 01 WI ISMS& Sts,—We have just read in your paper of this day a paragraph heeded " M y sterious Death," in which the circumstances attending the death of a gentlemits at Ant werp, of the same of Headley, whilst travelling with • colossi in the Turkish army of the name of Rift Allah Bey, are detailed. As the lathlike. of the By we should feel obliged by your inserting the following particulars monected with this affair. On Moseley morning last we reoeived a letter from a gentleman at Antwerp Worming us that the Bey had been arrested is oosseunesee of Mr. Headley, with whom he was travelling, having been found in bed shot through the head. Immediately thereupon • member of oar firm storied for Antwerp. and we have Jest masivd an intim- Um from him that the Bey, after having bee e n, through a stupid blunder, detained for four days in prison, has been released, with many apologies. The facia of the cam are these :—The Bey was staying with his nephew, Mr. Headley, who was a young man in delicate health, at as hotel at.Aslwerp. Mr. Hadley was in • somewhat deeposding state of mind, and the Bey was travelling about with him, in order to restore him to better health. We have Doi yet had thip full pertionlars ocanected with the unhappy suicide, but it seems that the Bey, together with three servants of the hotel, entered the room where Mr. Headley was lying dead. Whether they were attracted by the noise of the gun or not, we do not yet know. It is certain, however, that they all entered the room together; and that they entered, not by the ordinary door, which Mr. Headley had locked, bat by another door, which was opined by the servants. There they fouled Mr. Headley dead. A letter was also found written by him stating that he had committed the deed himself. It is quite clear that the Bey never entered the room until Mr. Headley was dead, and then only with three servants of the hotel. Notwithstanding this, sod the *beard improbability, we may say impossibility, of his having had anything to do with the affair, he was arrested by the police sod put in prison for four days, and not allowed to communicate either with hie legal advisers or any witnesses. Theo it seems that the police found out that they lad made • stuoid blunder, sad bed arrested the beet sad kindest friend of the unfortunate man, and they released the Bey with many apologies—a very poor reparation, we venture to think, for their reckless stupidity. We trust in justice to our client you will insert this ex planation as early as possible.—We are, tea, KIM BEE and ELLIS. I, Laimastarplace, London, April 5. ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.-00 Tuesday last the third scientific meeting of the season of the Royal Horticultural Society was held et South Kensington, Mr. J. J.

He also called attention to a new way of growing these plant. on ornamental tiles, • plan far superior to the wood generally need for that purpose. Rev. J Dix and Mr. cm F.

After the meeting some beautiful orchid blossoms were distributed by ballet amoapt the ladies, and each one of whom present received two or three of the beautiful camellia blossom. from the magnificent collection exhibited by the chairman. THI HUMBER IRONWORKS AND SHIPBUILDING . COMPANT.—Within the last day or two Mr. Bates, of Liver pool, has completed the purchase of eight large iron vesials from the above company. Five of the shire are on the stocks and in a very forward state, and the other three are is the Victoria Dock. The total tonnage of the vessels is about ten thousand toes. This purchase makes Mr. Bates the owner of • magnificent fleet of thirty-four ship., and we believe that he is now the largest thipowner in England. —Eastern Counties Herald. " AT HOME" AT k.DLNBUROH.--AD "At Home" is altogether a rather mysterious inthotioe. When for the first tinteyou missive a mid informing you that Lady Kettle drum is "At Home" on the 27th, you are disposed to weeder languidly why the sopouooemeut (interesting enough to her family circle, doubtless) ham been made to you, and se let the matter drop. But if yen go you will find it rather pleasant. There is • little music, a little mild literary twaddle, • little flirting in the novas,—thy. even an the and a glans of weak sherry, if you are festively disposed. Here the blue-belles of the capital most do congregate, and Sr laical sod literary lions are trotted out, in a somewhat perspiring shape, for the edification of their admirers. The giants are dead and buried (mostly in the DealCentetr ) . and • swarm of small fry has taken their place.

Gueroult and Marie spoke against the amend went, which was also opposed by the government. The amendment was subsequently rejected by 149 against 42 votes. M. Jules Furs demanded that a clause should be added to the address demanding the abolition of the compulsory rate of interest and of the privi leges of brokers. M. Forcade Roquette, in reply, stated that the government had ordered an inquiry on these two questions, and that bills on the subject would be presented to the Corps Legislatif this session. Paragraph 8 of the address was then adopted. • THE NIAGARA AND SACRAMENTO.

THE PRUSSIAN CHAMBER. BERLIN, Ann , 5. In te.day's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies Herr von Boon, the Minister of War, brought for ward a bill relative to the extraordinary grants of money for the navy. The bill demapds 19 millions I of thalers for the next six years, for the purpose of constructing harbours and building men-of-war. Ten millions of this sum are to be obtained by means of a loan. The minister declared that Prus sia resolved to keep possession of Kid. The forti fications of that place, as well as of the mouth of River Jabde, and the construction of ironclad., would require the sum demanded. The loan will be redeemed in 1872. The bill was referred to a special committee. THE DUCHIES. FRANIFORT•ON•TAB•MA I NE, Aram 5. The vote upon the proposal of Bavaria and Saxony will be taken to-morrow in the Federal Diet. It is expected that Austria will make a de claration to the following effect before the voting takes place :—Austria, although recognising as well as Bavaria and Saxony that the installation of the Duke of Augustenburg in Holstein would be the best means of settling the pending question, never theless takes a different ground to that assumed by those states, since she does not consider the legal question of the succession to be yet settled, and therefore expressly reserves it. Austria must fur ther insist that the two great German powers, the co-possessors of the duchies, should first come to a mutual understanding, and will not separate her self from Prussia, as the alliance between them has alone prevented the intervention of foreign powers in the duchie►.

THE NEW " TATTERSALL'S." It is now very close upon a century since the first Richerd Tattersall, known to sporting chronicles, came up out of Lane,ashire, bringing with him a good reputation for knowledge in horse-flesh, and established the well-known auction mart and sub scription room at Hyde-park-corner. At that time the subsequently well-known and central establish ment had nothing between it and the river except green fields, and the future possessor of Hightlyer got hie ninety-nine years lease on easy terms. Gradually, however. Western Loudon began to grow up around him, until at last the unpretend ing establishment, in which probably more money changed hands than on any bourse in Europe, became almost smothered by the palatial edifices by which it was surrounded. "Tattersall*" how ever, bravely worked out its lease through four generations of representatives, and being at last obliged to move, has settled down on a moat eligible freehold not more than half a mile distant from its original location. As it was a hundred years ago, a Richard Tattersall is now at the head of the firm, and yesterday even ing he and his partner Edmund threw open their new premises for the inspection of their friends and subscribers. The new building is situated about half war be tween Albert-gate and the site of the late Exhibi tion building, and presents rather an imposing front to the traveller from the east. It stands at right angles to the Brompton-road, and there is sufficient open space in front to give ample scope and verge for the numerous dashing equipages which must constantly converge towards the great centre and emporium of the sporting world. There is little architectural pretence in the external façade, but the interior is perfection, in as far as the requirements of the business are concerned. The subscription room is a splendid chamber ; the walls richly gilt, and painted in warm colours, and having au encaustic pavement which would become a Genoese palace. There are two mahogany tables for the business purposes of the subscribers and loungers along the walls for their convenience, but beyond this and the normal decorations there are nu orna ments except the well-known Louis Quince clock, so familiar to ell the habitues as a relic of the High flyer period. The Auction Mart itself is pronounced to be an immense advance on the more confined space at Hyde-park-corner. Itis three times as large, covered in from the weather all over,and has placed in the centre the mysterious little temple, en shrining the well-known fountain irreverently called the pump, and the memorable Fox, in a new coat of pains, who would have such a wonderful story to tell if circumstances would only permit him to write his autobiography. All round the mart are the stables for the horses to be sold, and they are so arranged as that the intending bidder can enter at one end, and having examined the whole lot, come out at the other and attend to the bid- i dings. There are seventy-five open stables, and twenty-five box stalls for brood mares and stock of especial value, and the whole are replete with every equine comfort, and even luxury. The old traditional auctioneer's pulpit stands in the far corner, and there is ample space down the centre for the high-nettled moors to show off t h eir paces. There was a large attendance of the fashionable and sporting world yesterday evening, and the opinion unanimously expressed that the build ing was everything that the most fastidious could desire for the purposes intended. The whole is built from the designs of Mr. Freeman, of Lin coln's-inn-fields, and is a very handsome specimen of that later Italian style which has latterly be come so popular in London.

That had bees succeeded by menus In Oxford and in Cambridge, sod now the whole lase was easkolid with this system of local eximintioss. Before they wee n stituted, the schools they mostly ancersed weskit very much to themselves. There were examinatiess at the public schools. ail Woe, Harrow, and Wiesner's, hut the system had sot Wooded to the local schools, which were left to make their own positioa,' and the students 'dented is them west forth into the world untried, and wets nee gently more liable to felon than those educated in the public schools with whom they they had to compete. It was fitting that those who had to stroule in after life should semis at the outset is kerning, that they might know their mental strength and how to use is. Perhaps We greatest advantage of thee early struggles was that they taught those who sopged in them to overcome difficulties. Educates was rather the draw* out of the mind than the pouring of something into It, end to habituate the student to meet and overcome difficulties was one of the greatest benefits which *dentin conferred. He thought these examisatious were calculated to draw out that power. Something had been said against these emenations, sod the gelatine nestles upcm compelitive examinatioss is all profaroas had been dented, and. as he thought, with some man, on the greed that they led to cramming rather than to sound learning. There was • strong objec tion os the part of all educated men against the spatem of • cram," in which he guile sympathised.

Bet putting "cram" at its wont it was better this nothing—it was at all events a means of infusing a certain number of facts into the mood which would *there's probably never get there, and al though they might be discharged from the memory the next momset it was better to get them into the mind ac curately, for however short a time. All knew that the pest difficulty was to get thorough accuracy in thought and knowledge. Xeople were too apt to think themselves well informed without testing the accuracy of their iota motion sod it was only when they worked up for an exami nation 'that they assertained how tar they were proficient. The preparation for an exannuatioa was the beet way of bringing the nand to a state of accurate and dr4al thought, and is this respect these exami nations were einieutly woeful. To the Univeraity of Cambridge was due the credit of originating a system of examination, not of pupils only, but of schools. The examisatin of schools, which was • work if wed labour sod difficulty, was of great importance, tad if area out gamely throughout the country, would tend to raise the position and the character of the masters, as well as of the soholare. He ought to add that the nem of examinatios introduced by the University of Cambridge applied not only to mss and boys, Eat to ladies also. He congratulated the sucesseal compethors, and expressed • hope that their pre sent sun= was the harbinger of a prosperous future. Success in early life was a thing to rejoice at, but not to put too much confidence ie. It ought rather to be regarded as as imitative and enoouragemorat to continue working end labouring 02 CO further achievements and the acquisition of more knowledge. Turning to nor who had not beep successful, he reminded them that there were so examinations in which there intent some failures, and that many of oar Weber and greatest men bad failed in their first efforts.
