This Company is formed for prosecuting the Trawlitm, Mine Fishing, and Carrying of Fish, and the Sale of Ice. It 'will not be antagonistic to the present fishing establish ments, for the Directors seek to combine the interest of exist ing Smack owners of the Thames, whose business has been long and successfully conducted, into a common joint-stock enterprise. A large fleet may be worked much more econo mically than several small ones—the take of fish by one por tion compensating for ill success on the part of others. A large fleet also lessens individual risks, and affords a fairer distribution of average profits. Above all, a numerous fleet, owned by one proprietary, provides for a steady and regular Supply of fish to market : one portion becoming carriers to the rest by collecting from the vessels on the fishing ground. The smack owners, whose vessels will be purchased, will be large shareholders in the Company, and promise the Direc tors the benefit of their long and practical experience. With such assistance, and the interest taken, and support proffered by. salesmen of Billingsgate in the working of th^ Company, the Directors anticipate that the shares will become a source of first-class investment, and command a premium.

The peculiar attribute of Mr. Eskell's invention is, the readiness with which these teeth can be re-adapted to any change of the mouth (even by the wearer); and as they act independently of all disturbing causes which affect teeth of ordinary construction, they are guaranteed to last a life time, as well as for mastication and articulation.

A WORD TO 01JR LANDED GENTRY. All landed proprietors cannot build model cottages and medi eval schools, but all may exert an influence of a most beneficial character, with even small pecuniary means at their command. The day in which we are living is one of peculiar difficulty as regards the dealings of classes with each other. The noknowledged tendency of all European nations is towards democracy, though our insular position has staved off this evil—if we may venture to call that evil which seems, in the order of providence, to be at least one of the phases through which the nations must pass in their progress to the unknown hereafter—the old feudal feeling of the poor towards the upper classes . has all but disap peared, though it is retained to a certain extent in the higher classes towards them. Antagonism is too often the consequenct, of this divergence on their part, and irritation a an ri d se a s in the dishearteningthem mind of a landlord when he finds his schemes for benefitin g hi s peop l e rece i ve d at best with indiff erence , honest effort. Sometimes , and too o ft en thwarted altogether, hi s sc h oo l s unattended, ingratitude again, re sole at returnreturn um is for much expected for small mercies, and much subserviency required fc,r doles of broth and flannel—one altogether disproportionate to the benefit c onierred.—Once a Week. The match between England and Scotland was originated at the meeting last year by Lord Bury and Capt. Ross, by whom, in fact, all its prelimi naries were settled and all its conditions laid down. It has been adopted as a permanent feature in the programme of all future annual meetings of the As sociation, upon the principle with regard to nation ality, that the test shall be paternal descent. Lord Elcho has intimated his intention of presenting an " Elcho Challenge Shield," and this will be the prize shot for from year to year for ever—each of the successful champions to receive a small prize, which is to be paid for by the losing side. The exact na ture of the small prize, however, is not yet deter mined upon, and the shield itself is understood to be at the present time in its first stage of manufacture. The firing was at three ranges of 800, 90), and 1,000 yards respectively; and the number of shots per man was larger than in any other contest of the meeting. Usually the number of shots has been five at each range ; in the parliamentary contest, as well as in those between the public schools and the two universities, the number was seven ; but in the present instance, in order to give a better chance of a fair average, and to shut out any probability of the final result being materially affected by acci dent, it was arranged that each of the competitors should have 15 shots at each range. Lord Bury headed the English eight, and Captain Ross the Scottish ; the former being distinguished by the red cross of St. George on the right arm, and the latter by the blue cross of St. Andrew. Of these 16 champions every one bud a reputation to sustain, and each exerted himself like a really representative man, and as if he imagined the honour of his nation to rest on his individual rifle. The English eight were Lord Bury, Captain Heaton, Sergeant Rowe, Martin Smith, the Earl of Ducie, Halford, Halliday, and Beasley. The Scotch eight were Captain Ross, Lieutenant Ross (his son), the Master of Lovat, Major Ailoir, Anderson, Fergusson, Muir, and Peter kin. There was an umpire chosen by each side, with a final reference in cases of dispute to Gen. Hay. Before the commencement of the firing there was a strong general inclination to back the Blue Cross of St. Andrew, but before it had advanced very far the Red Cross of St. George rose in favour, and long before the score was made up at 800 yards the odds were considerably in their favour. Lord Bury led the way with a splendid score on the English side, but was excelled by Captain Ross, who at 800 yards scored 52, out of 60 possible, points and hits in cluded ; and the English shooting was good from first to last at this range, the Scotch being rather unfortunate, Mr. Fergusson more particularly, who, after carrying off the St. George's vase from nearly 100 competitors, only struck the 800 yards target twice out of 15 shots. At the conclusion of the first stage of the firing the English eight had beat their northern opponents by about 50, and increased that _IA, tte course of the tin ev at the the seco nd range an objection was taken by Captainboss, which i , f sustained, might deprive the English of their supe riority. By rule 9 a miss shall be shown by a flag held on one side or the other, high or low, to indicate the direction in which the shot went. This was done at the Scotch target, and the objection raised was that throughout the first range the men on duty at the mantelets had actually gone up to the butts to point out the precise spot where a shot struck; and this, it was contended by Captain Ross, had given to his opponents a great advantage. The decision of Gen. Hay was that since Capt. Latour, the Scotch um pire at the English target, had made no protest when the practice was adopted, the objection came too late from Capt. Ross, and could not be sustained. Lord Elcho entirely concurred with Gen. Hay, and the shooting proceeded, with the understanding that either practice might be adopted, but that it must be the same at both targets. At the 1,000 yards range fortune declared herself still more decisively against the Scottish Lion, for so far as the shooting had proceeded when the gun fire put an end to the proceedings of the day, the English eight had increased their majority, so that Capt. Ross admitted, with the utmost possible good humour, that he and his party had got " a jolly good licking," which was strictly true. When the firing was suspended that at the 1,000 yards range was about half got through. ALL COMERS-200 YARDS.—Messrs.

S WEEPS TAKES ...GOO YARDS (Small bore).- ' THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION. The weather again frowned on the Exhibition yesterday, and raised many apprehensions for the success of the ceremonial of to-morrow. The gene ral opinion is, that if the weather be fine, the spec tacle will be very imposing, but that if it rain in the usual Exhibition style, it will require all the enthusiasm not only of the 'successful exhibitors, but of the public, to enable them to enjoy it. The arcades of the Horticultural Gardens provide, it is true, a shelter, but the effect will be entirely lost if the principal dramatis personce be excluded from the open. Two of the French bands which are to " assist" have already arrived, and will give the Exhibition visitors a specimen of their musical abilities to-day: The " Gendarmerie de la Garde" will play under the Eastern dome, and the 44 Zouaves de la Garde" under the Western, thereby dividing the crowd and preventing too great a congestion of visitors in one spot. There is no doubt that the effect will be fine, provided that the commissioners so arrange the respective orchestras as that the musicians shall have room to ply their instruments, as at present any unhappy performer who essays to amuse the company is generally half smothered by the crowd pressing round him up to the very keys of his instrument. The King of Wurtemberg has appointed Prince Herman of Saxe Weimar Eisenach as representative of the kingdom on Fri day, and has empowered him to receive the awards for the Wurtemberg exhibitors. Among the distinguished visitors yesterday were Prince Alfred, Princess Mary of Cambridge, the Earl of Macclesfield, the Marquis de Fontanelle, and Lord Walsingham. The 10s. tickets are, we learn, going off with great rapidity. The highest temperature of the day by Negretti and Zambra's patent thermometer were as follows : —ln the nave 64.6; in the galleries, 65.5 The observation was taken at three o'clock p.m. The following is the official return of the number of visitors yesterday :—By season tickets, 6,239; by payment, 47,179 ; total, 53,418.

After a delay of about half an hour there was a score of gentlemen assembled, and Mr. Harris was called to the chair. He stated that he was unwilling the meeting should be considered an indignation meet ing, for all they wanted was to be replaced in their original position. He had received several letters denouncing the course taken by the Royal Commis sioners from Mr. Nicholas, of Oxford-street, and Mr. Ede, of Brompton-square. A letter from the secretary to the latter gentleman justified the con duct of the commissioners on the 13th rule, which stated that after the 31st of May the cost of admis sion on four days in the week would be ls., which was no answer to the complaint. He suggested that the meeting should be adjourned for a few days that the movement might have greater pub licity. The proceedings then terminated. TILE ROYAL BOTANIC SOCIETY'S FLOWER SHOW. The Royal Botanic Society held yesterday the third and last of their great flower and fruit shows for the present season in their grounds in the Re gent's-park. The exhibition was, on the whole, a very successful one, although the elements still ob stinately refused to shed over it any of their cheer ing influence. A light south-west breeze blew fit fully throughout the day. A succession of dull clouds veiled the sky, and drops of cold rain pat. teeed at frequent intervals from their dark borders. It was impossible to feel certain for a moment that the frowning aspect of the atmosphere might not end in a drenching shower, or, perhaps, in a hail or snow storm, and no one, there, felt disposed to wan der much farther than was absolutely necessary from some friendly shelter. After all, however, the danger passed off quietly enough, and the weather, under the circumstances, held up wonderfully. But it would be hardly possible for anything to make itself more disagreeable without doing any positive mischief. It would evidently have rained if it could, but fortunately it could not ; and the large company which braved the angry atmosphere were duly re warded for their intrepidity. It was with some surprise we found the attendance of visitors upon the occasion was apparently even above the average amount. But fashion is one of the great powers of the world, and will, in spite of any accidental oppo sition, impose its law upon its votaries. A vast crowd again poured into the grounds from every avenue; they gathered in dense masses wherever anything was to be seen or heard; and, round the t spots which contained any objects of spe cial inter : or curiosity they pressed in such numbers a as kin d . very make voluntary movement of a n y ladles were slow and troublesome process. still in every way the leading every busy scene.

They were , however, for the most part, The flower s and fruits exhibited by ht a l mos t be regarded as a subordi nthaetesoshcioewtl. as perfect in shape and hue as ever, and under the fostering skill and care of human hands, they offered hardly a trace of the unfavourable influence of the fickle skies and stinted sunshine under which they grew into airy loveliness. The orchids and many of the ferns and greenhouse plants had apparently even found new and more congenial elements of life in our recent humid atmosphere, and many of their leaves presented a softness and a variety of colour- ing which we have scarcely ever seen equalled. There were at the same time many admirable speci mens of a brighter and more glowing vegetation. There were roses, red and white and w ' yellofinely tinted and of the fullest forms : there was a profu sion of azaleas and pelargoniums, delicate and un flaunting in their varied and brilliant beauty ; an d there were many as fine fuchsias as we have ever seen dropping in graceful showers their pendulous bells. The fruit naturally afforded a less striking exhibition. Many fine pine-apples and peaches bore testimony to the success of purely artificial cultiva tion; the grapes also made a fine show; and the strawberries, as far as we could judge, had not ma terially suffered from the cold and moist season through which we have just passed, But upon this point we can pronounce no positive opinion. It is, after all, only by the taste that the value of fruit can be certainly determined, and here we had, of course, no opportunity of subjecting it to that test. The bands of the Ist and 2d Life Guards and of the Royal Horse Guards (Blue) played a variety of operatic selections throughout the afternoon. The company present upon the occasion included 'rine Mustapha Pacha, the French, Portuguese, Swedish, Brazilian, Italian, and American ambas sadors, Lord and Lady Fermoy, Lady Lopez, Lady Hume Campbell, &e. CONVERSAZIONE OF THE SOCIETY OF ARTS. Yesterday evening the Society of Arta Lola . grand conversazione at the South Kensington Museum. Between four and five thousand persons responded to the invitations of the council, the as sembly including a considerable number of the aristocracy and many persons of distinction in the arts and sciences. Among those observed were th e Duke and Duchess of Somerset, the Earl and Countess of Shaftesbury, the Earl of Lismore, Sir H. Rawlinson, Sir A. G. Cumming, Mr. E. Baines, M.P., Mr. Alcock, M.P., Mr. J. Dillon, &c. The arrivals commenced at eight o'clock, and by 10 the principal rooms, studded with objects of artistic merit and world-wide interest, were thronged with promenaders, who, in some of the more attractive parts of the museum, pressed rather inconveniently upon each other. The inspection of the vast and varied collection was full of zest, and it was evident that for many the wonders of this western empo rium were invested with the charm of novelty. Even in close proximity to the International Exhi bition they did not appear in any degree to pale. The interest of the occasion was enhanced by a double musical performance; one by the National Choral Society, represented in this instance by 300 voices, under the able direction of Mr. G. W. Martin; the other by Distin's Ventil Horn Union. Both were very effective, and the glees and part songs were heard with marked advantage in the spacious hall selected for their execution. Re freshments in abundance were served in the picture galleries,'where the pliability of crinoline was sub jected to a severe ordeal. THE FRENCH OCCUPATION OF ROME. Yesterday morning official papers respecting the French occupation of Rome" were issued, com prising four despatches from Lord Cowley, with replies from Earl Russell, together with a despatch from Sir J. Hudson, addressed to Earl Russell. Earl Cowley, in his first communication, brought under notice of Earl Russell an article of the Tourna, des Debats, in which the suggestion of a mixed gar. rison at Rome, of French and Italian troops, was advocated. In his reply to Earl Cowley, Earl Rus- sell says :—" With reference to your Excellency's despatch of the 14th March, I have to state to you that a mixed French and Italian garrison at Rome wnnlCl,3 kit -Ann trail; plat_ .1.3 'll GU. %v vvvur the whole of the Roman state on the left bank of the Tiber, and that the French should occupy the Vatican region of the city, Veccna, and St. Peter's Patrimony, on the right bank of the Tiber. Were this plan adopted, as a temporary arrangement, the Pope would be protected ; his dignity as a sovereign prince would be recognised ; and after a time the King of Italy and the Pope would by force of circum stances be reconciled. M. Thouvenel ought not to shut his eyes to the evils of the present state of affairs. They are-1. The French government makes itself unpopular with the Italian, and especially the Ro man people. 2. No Italian government whether of Ricasoli or Ratazzi, or anyone else, can control efficiently the Mazzinians, who thereby obtain un due influence. 3. A war may spring up at any time, the vicissitudes of which may force the Em peror either to abandon his own work in Italy or to defend Italian independence at the cost of a great and sanguinary war. Great Britain, so far from interposing any obstacle in the way of France, is desirous to co-operate with her in finding a solution for the Italian question." In a subsequent despatch, Earl Cowley reports : -- 4 M. Thouvenel said that he feared your lord ship's plan would not be accepted by either party ; the Pope declaring that hewill listen to no arrange ment which did not restore to him the possessions which he had lost, and the Italian Government re fusing to sanction any settlement which did not recognise Rome as the capital of Italy. Between the profession of two such extreme opinions no solu tion seemed possible, for France could not permit Italian troops to enter upon the territory occupied by her without the Pope's acquiescence. Besides, said M. Thouvenel, why are we to be asked to give up Rome and the patrimony of St. Peter to the King of Italy ? The utmost that can be expected of us would be the restoration of Rome to the Romans. I said that as far as her Majesty's Go vernment were concerned, I would answer for their being satisfied with such an arrangement, meaning, of course, that the Romans should be masters of their own destinies." mag fined the Earl Russell replies that he never i we ll (he Pope would accept the plan. gg know t of 1816 met says) that even the liberal ar ran g with a protest from Cardinal Gone_s3; ev n iroonpet,h ele there sub- ject of Ferrara and Comacchio• " yth i ug less than fore, would not consent to and Ancona.

But, as a temporary arrangement, no one can be lieve that the evacuation of Rome, Velletri, and Frorinone, and the left bank of the Tiber, by the French troops would not eagerly be accepted by the Italian people. Naples would be satisfied with a government sitting at Rome ; and the charge that a Ministry at Turin were attempting to Piemon tizzare' Italy would fall to the ground." j: Earl Cowley, on March 28, informs the noble earl of another conversation with the French minister :—" M. Thouvenel then went into various arguments to prove, as he said, the rights which the Pope still possessed ae a temporal Sovereign, and to show that the claims put forward by the Italian Government to Rome as the capital of Italy, as also to Venetia as an Italian province, were totally unjustifiable according to the common un derstanding of international law. I do not enter into these arguments, because it was easy to con vince him that they had no weight with the Impe rial Government when the Legations, when Um bria and the Marches, when Tuscany, and when Naples and Sicily annexed themselves to Sardinit I merely me ntion them thus cu rsoril y to your lor s hip as farther evidence—l say it with unfeigned E.) _ regret—of the little h:p h et . :l4 **/*Mlit*W L ed Of modifying by dis' 4 1 , 0 1 tev"Ii‘tn i Ol t the cour se which the Em, .\;*:::o o ,v4oiicp: s t-TV re solved to pursue with • .',4-4-atli'a4o'ques tion. The solution of it has n>u Oiled, to all outward appearance at least, to the Pop e, anal see no other sure policy for Italy to pursae than to en deavour to consolidate the administratio, a of the coun tries of which she is composed. She will t.laus acquire internal strength, and impose external confidence, and so be ready to take advantage of every favour able opportunity to complete her unity by sh owing the truth of the proverb, that in union the, re is force." Writing on the 2d April, Earl Russell observes —" M. Thouvenel no longer speaks of the difficulty of persuading the Italian Government to accept of such conditions as her Majesty's Government had suggested. Nor is there any question of forcing the Pope to abandon his temporal power, and remain in Italy as the subject of another sovereign. The whole question is, whether the Pope having lost Romagna, the MFlrches, and Umbria, should retain the whole of the territory now occupied by France, or whether the French troops should occupy for the Pope only' the patrimony of St. Peter, including the Vatican.. Setting aside all difference between a protestant and Roman Catholic sovereign, it is manifest that the principle thus upheld is at variance with the principles maintained everywhere else by France as well as by Great Britain. Rome is foreign terri tory ; the Romans are to have nothing, and foreign troops everything, to say to the form of its govern ment. This system can hardly be of long duration, it is too directly opposed to the maxims of inter national law and the wishes of the Italian people. I do not, however, wish your Excellency to enter into any polemics on this question. But, on the other hand, the French Government must not make it 'a reproach to the Government of Italy that the southern proTinces are not in a state of tranquillity, while tho - weirch flag protects the Pope in main taining a sanctuary where every chief of brigands can find a refuge, and prepare his band for future incursions on peaceful provinces. You are not to read this despatch to M. Thouvenel, but you may state to him the subject of it." The despatch of Sir 3. Hudson, dated May 8, gives a most favourable picture of the state of affairs at Ancona and other Italian towns and cities. " The aspect of the towns in the Marches and Umbria," he says, "is that of cities awakened to new life." The country from Ancona to the Papal frontier is anxiously expecting the comple tion of the railways which are already commenced. " At the Tiber the scene changes, and we enter also upon the desert. The contrast between the 'fertile garden of the Marches and Umbria, studded with substantial farms and well-kept country houses, and the desolate Campagna was striking—between the bustle and vigorous life of their towns and the solemn measured tread of Rome. It is clear - that the reason for their secession was the inability or un willingness of Rome to keep pace with their pro gress ; they have outstripped her, and left her far in the rear. Rome may join them; they never will return to Rome voluntarily." MURDER ON THE HIGH SEAS. The Southampton borough magistrates were en gaged on Tuesday in the investigation of a charge against John Colvin, steward of the bark Pasithea, of Liverpool, for the murder of Thomas Williams, captain of the said vessel. The Pasithea was on a voyage from Liverpool for California, with a gene ral cargo, and the alleged murder was committed on Easter Sunday, the 20th. of April, when the ship was about 300 miles north-east of the Cape Verd. Immediately afterwards Colvin was put in irons by the mate, and on her arrival at Pernambuco a naval court was held, and the prisoner and witnesses were sent home by the consul at that port, arriving at Southampton last Friday in the mail steamship Parana. The witnesses examined on Tuesday in support of the charge were Benjamin Robert Bishop, the mate of the Pasithea ; John Harris, apprentice; James Martindale, carpenter; and Magnus Linklater, able seaman. It appeared, from the evidence of these witnesses, that the captain and officers were at dinner in . the saloon about half-past one o'clock on the day in question, and the steward, who had been waiting on them, was in the pantry, which was about 10 or I n.. 1. • M 1 - 1" _ • la. Pll-_ •1 _ _ 4 „,.. 4,1, closed the door after him. A scuffle was theniak in the pantry, as if ono person was shaking another, and the steward was heard to say, " What do you mean, Captain Williams ?" The captain said, " I'll shake you ; you don't care how you destroy my property;" and in a few seconds he called out, " Mr. Bishop, come here, he's killing me; he's stab bing me." On the mate getting the pantry door open he found the captain leaning against it, bleed ing very much from the stomach, and the steward had a long tableknife in his hand, the handle and blade of which were covered with blood. This knife had just previously been seen lying on some dessert plates in the pantry. The steward at once said, "I will give myself up in your charge," and was placed in irons. The mate supported Captain Williams to his cabin, and laid him on a sofa, when it was found that he had been stabbed on the right side • of his stomach, the wound being about three inches long, and the bowels were protruding. While the mate was bandaging the wound the captain re marked that he did not think it was mortal, which was all he said, and in a few minutes he became unconscious, and died about half-an-hour after he was stabbed. At the prisoner's request the mate subsequently examined his hand, when he saw tt his right hand was cut in two places, the wounds being such as a man would get by laying holdon th of the blade of a knife, and there was also a lump top of the prisoner's head like a bruis e, but there was no blood. There seemed from the atatem ents e of some of the witnesses to have been pain, r evious dis- and that putes between the steward and the ca p t the latter was rather an irrita ble m he did not thatand given to drink.

I then called, 'Mr. Bishop, Mr. Bishop, he ' s murdering me.' I got no assistance. The door was fast; We tussled for some time, both of us holding the knife, and both fell to the floor. I was underneath, and i brought the handle o f the knife to the floor and the point into th e captain's stomach, when he fell on:the top. The captain then got up and I also. He stood with his back against the door, and I stayed and held the knife, when the door opened. Mr • Bishop made his appearance, and hauled the captain out, but did not come inside the pantry. I received one cut across the palm of the hand, one between the forefinger and thumb, one across the four fingers, and one stab at the back part of the head. I have got nothing more to say now, but leave myself in the hands of the law and to the pro tection of God." The prisoner was then fully com mitted to take his trial for the capital offence at the Hampshire Assizes, which will be held at Win chester next week. THE FORDINGBRIDGE MURDER.--Gilbert, the man accused of the Fordingbridge murder, was retn (wed from Ringwood to Winchester last Friday. A. large num ber of persons assembled at the Ringwood railway station to see Gilbert taken away. On his arriv al at the station, ho wa s saluted with every species of malediction andd into the i n vective that it was possible to resort to. lie w as convey e persons who station, to await the arrival of the t rain.

Thou art a disgrace to earth, heaven, and hell, and there is on e satisfaction to know that Jack Ketch will s oon send the e there," upon which the prisoner replied very m n, a o , give s yourself aperin t e n ci a a n n y t s trouble tannar d a baotut ontoit , as coo i l t l Prisoner to make anything that was ordere d tho pr no reply t o sa id to him.
