"Mr. Kent has undeniable merits —warm and high-toned feeling, a pleasant combination of grace and humour, and no small power to individualise. ' Pope at Twickenham' is a cabinet picture. ' Marianne' will commend itself to all mothers by its gush of parental tenderness, and its acquaint ance with baby wiles and mysteries. Fructidor' shows What Dutch fidelity of word painting the author can master when he tries. His fruit is as vivid and well Characterised as if Lance had painted it."—Athentettm. "The charm of Mr. Kent's poetry, as it is the first condi tion of success to all poets, is that he is in sympathy with his subject and not only with himself ; that he is truly po e t an d not egotist . Ent it is by no means his only merit. He is a mas ter of versification. The flow or his verse is smooth and me lodious, and enriched with a copious and ornate vocabulary. Shelley at Marlow 'ls a painting exquisitely delicate. The vision of Shelley with which Mr. Kent presents us is almost perfect. ‘DittAMLAND is a work coneelved in a noble spirit, and executed with scholarly taste, frequently with flashes of true poetic inspiration. ' The Dying Bridegroom' is distinguished by a genuine pathos, which leads us to be lieve that Mr. Kent would succeed eminently in some story of the affections." —The London Review. "Mr. Kent's poems come before the world with the advan- tage, not only mu an anther's name, but of a name already agreeably and sically known in the metrical literature of the day. His 'Aletheia' was very favourably received by the public, and has no doubt been the companion of many thoughtful readers who will gladly welcome another volume from his pen. A series of portraits drawn with true poetic sympathy and veneratio n , Th e b est of all, we think, is that of Scott. There is something in the lines that will remind the reader of the chime of Scott's own verse."—John Bull. " Verses, many of them extremely tender and harmonious, and all indicating a mind carefully cultured and imbued with elegant tastes."—Daily News. " Poems of very Considerable excellence. Fructidor 'is a very close and vigorous word-painting of an orchard. Mr. Kent's volume is healthy and vigorous in sentiment, correct in composition, and contains many happy touches of true fancy, very gracefully expressed."—The Critic. "The pictures Mr. Kent makes arc carefully drawn and effectively coloured. His work is on the whole in good taste. It possesses the undeniable, yet, in these days, rare merit of intelligibility, and is, moreover, very readable."—The Art- World: " We like some of Mr. Kent's minor poems even better than `Dreamland.' He is a real poet, unquestionably, and often versifies with extreme felicity. Of his poetic power the `Monody on Lord Strangford ' affords ample proof : while his capacity to make word-music is shown in ' The Morris Dance , s." "—The Press.

The town was in a commotion from on early hour, each succeeding train bringing its hundreds to witness the gay scene which has annually delighted them for years. The betting-room was crowded, and the quaint old " rows" filled with sight- seers, while each avenue to the racecourse was literally crammed with the moving multitudes. There seemed not one man less at the tryst than we have been in the habit of seeing ; all was life, animation, and gaiety. The balconies of the Grand Stand were filled with ladies, the enclosure and the paddock were equally full of the ruder sex. (From the Times,) "It is never too late to mend," says Mr. Hubbard. Use, he says, is not yet second nature with the in come tax. It is not yet the leopard which cannot change its spots, or the Ethiopian who cannot bleach his skin. It is quite cheering to find gentlemen of this hopeful, jovial temperament, still treating the income tax as a sapling. Mr. Hubbard would take it up, transplant it, lop it and top it, make it quite another tree, and then expect to live 50 years more to see what it will grow into. None of our youngsters have such enterprise and courage. Many men no longer young hardly remember the time when there was not an income tax, and they associate it with the assessed taxes, with poor rates and way rates. They will never get up heart to resist or modify a tax which seems inseparable from this our civilised state, which affords the most splendid demonstra tion of England's wealth and probity, and is the brightest ingot in the Chancellor of the Exchequer's coffer. Consult them, and they will hardly wish to amend the tax at the risk of hurting its efficiency. With them it is the palladium of England's finance. It is the arm that strikes and heals, that fills merchant men with corn and coats men-of-war with iron ; that opens ports or blockades them; that makes all the world accessible except our own shores, and enables the Chancellor of the Exchequer to declare a surplus whenever he pleases, to laugh at a thou sand scruples, to play with huge balances, to sleep on the eye of a budget, and make a pleasant philo sophy do the duty of har,cijacts. 1312.speetaele-is so seductive - that ili atihis ument the Federal AIM= his stake.

Caractacus was very firm in the market, but Silkstone declined, and Zodiac had lost his great popularity of Monday. The Vest colt, who after wards ran second, was utterly friendless; but the French threee-yr-old and Stamped() retained their positions to the last. At length the town was quitted for the course, under a cloudy sky and signs of rain, which held off, neverthe less, during the day, Two minor events had to be decided, The line•of-battle ship Cinqueror, 91, 500 horse power, fitting at Sheernes, is to have the whole of the hands withdrawn from her, as she is to be no further proceeded with at present. Orders have also been received at Chatham directing that the Chesapealo, 51, 500-horse power, is to have no more repairs elecuted upon her than are absolutely necessary for indocking her. We are requested to acknovledge the receipt, by Rear-Admiral the Hon. G. Crey, Admiral Superin tendent of Portsmouth Dockyard, of the sum of £267 6s 8d from numerous subscribers to the fund for the relief of the widows aid children of the pilot and four men who were drowned at Spithead by the upsetting of their boat iii a freeze when returning to the harbour, after pilotingher Majesty's steamer Rhadamanthus to Spithead, on the 24th January last. This sum has been lisiributed in the follow ing proportions, viz.:—to, AV. Imes, widow of the . late Mr. Jones, jun., Queen's pilot; and three chil dren, £Bl 16s 8d ; to Mrs. Grant and two children, £7l 16s 8d; to Mrs. Webb tied one child, £6l 16s 8d ; and to Mrs. Gardner, £5l 16s Bd. The fleet of the iron mortar vessels built towards the close of the Russian war, the whole of which are now hauled up at the extremity of Chatham dockard, where they are protected from the weather, have been carefully surveyed, and a report of their condition has been forwarded to the Admiralty. Orders were yesterday received for each vessel to be scraped and painted, in order to preserve it from injury by rust. The work will, it is understood, be performed by the convicts. The number of iron mortar vessels at Chatham dockyard is about fifty, in addition to which there is a large fleet of wooden mortar ships laid up in Nantlett-creek, a short dis tance from the dockyard. and then, at half-past three o'clock, the " Chester Cup" was ushered in with 23 runners. The race is described below, suffice it then to say that Wild Rose ran wonder fully well for two mile, Caractacus went about the same distance, that the first three in the race were outsiders, and the favourites nowhere. The winner was formerly in Fobert's stable, but was bought after running at Doncaster. He won the Brough Handicap this spring at Catterick bridge Races. The Queen's Plate ended in the defeat of Sawcutter ; and the day's racing was over at six o'clock. The _Helier Skelter Handicap of 5 sous each, with 30 ricans are building a fleet of Monitors on the faith of the Income Tax. They have made out to their own satisfaction that, while they are about the same in number as ourselves, they are considerably richer, and the product of their Income Tax will be so much the greater. As yet they see only the bright side of the tax. Here it is regarded with more respect than love. Mr. Hubbard has not even that respect for it which we feel for an old institution. He keeps up his protest against its rough and ready principles of assessment, as the Pole does against the Russian. But what is to be done ? This cherished hope of amendment is like the old faculty that we once felt conscious of and once wished to exercise, but have now lost, not only in power, but even in will. You once had an inkling of a higher philosophy, of some happier frame ; and you once felt that nothing was required to the enjoyment of the blissful dream but a strong exercise of will. But dream and will have now gone together, and you cannot say that you care much about it. Schedule D is a sad burden and a frightful anomaly ; so Peel himself, so Gladstone, so every one once said ; bat we have grown into it, as we have grown into many things, The slim youth of twenty thinks life must be intolerable with a weight of seventeen stone, and a figure such as the justice carried " with fat capon lined." Think of carrying before you always, as a matter of course, a protuberance as heavy and as prominent as a well-loaded dinner tray. Wait a few years, and you will be as proud of it as Falstaff was in a crowd of striplings. You will no longer wish to be a whipping-post. So some of us are becoming proud of the corpulent injustice of Schedule D. No doubt Mr. Gladstone in his imagination revels in licensed brigandage. He roves in the spirit over ideal Garganos and St. Angeles in a conical hat and feather, a jacket, a girdle mounted with pistols, and a wide-muzzled carbine, enjoying the terrors of anxious merchants, sleek priests, and all the timid cattle that creep from town to town. He won't throw back a doit. They must pay for the costs of their own suits, if they take the law, and pay him teeth-money over all. " Lie on your face and hold your tongue," is all the word of grace he has for them. If they wont't say how much they have, he will soon find it, and then it will be the worse for them. Yet this is the Nero who once wept as he signed a death warrant. It is the old Norman spirit still strong in this country. The poor Saxon pleads the preca riousness of his tenure, the instability of fortune, the vicissitudes of trade, the wear and tear of body and soul, and the tenderness due to his little hand or head craft. Is not the blood leaving his veins, and the tide and blood leaving the whole system ? Spare him awhile that he may husband what is left for himself and those he loves. The Norman listens to no such plea. He has a great state to maintain. He has hundreds of barons, and castles, and galleys, and engines of war,--bows and arrows, shields and spears, and a vast host of retainers, all to be kept up. They must be fed and armed. Then, is there not the bond to Isaac of York that must be met? So none of your puling. Out with your money. We want it, and must have it. Give it at once, and instantly, and talk about it after wards. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Lieut. john B. Butler, to the Galatea ; Lieut. Charles H. Murphy and Lieut. W. E. Miller, to the Forte, additional for disposal. The undermentioned gentlemen have been nomi nated to naval cadetships :—Richard Wm. White, John Ferris, and William J. Moore: NATIONAL DEBT OF 2.71 E NEW KM- DOM OF ITALY. A statement of the national debt and general finances of the new kingdom of Italy at the com mencement of the present year, by Mr. Sackville West, Secretary of Legation at Turin, has just been published. In the early part of the first Session of the Italian Parliament of 1861 a law was passed providing for the unification of the public debts of the different provinces, which were henceforth to be inscribed in a great book, representing the liabilities of the entire country. At the same time the principle was abandoned of providing for a gradual extinction by means of a sinking fund, the Minister having rightly declared it to be a costly fiction, a surplus revenue being the only means of effecting any such object. The debts thrown upon the State by the different Acts of union are of six classes—namely, 1. those of Piedmont ; 2. Lom bardy ; 3. the .Emilia ; 4. Modena ; 5. Tuscany ; and 6. Naples and Sicily. The Piedmontese debt commenced in 1817, in consequence of indemnities to be paid to France after the restoration of the House of Savoy. For 11 years, during the reigns of Victor Emmanuel I. and Carlo Felice, there does not appear to have been any sensible augmentation of the amount, and the period of loans commenced only with the accession of Charles Albert, in 1834. By the year 1847, just before the French Revolu tion and the insurrection at Milan, the total had reached £5,400,000. In the three years 1849.50- si, six loans were contracted, representing £14,360,000. In 1856 there was another increase of £5,200,000, and in 1859 another of £2,600,000. Besides this £4,000,000 was paid to France by the Treaty of Zurich on account of the portion of the Austrian debt of 1854 and £2,400,000 indemnity for war expenses. There were also other augmentations, and in this manner on the Ist of January, 1860, the debt had reached an aggregate of £41,800,000, and subsequently a loan of £6,000,000, represented by £7,450,000 capi tal, has been added. On the other hand, there was a reduction of £3,600,000 by the assumption of that amount by France on the cession of Savoy and Nice. The actual debt was thus brought to £46,400,0 00 , involving an annual charge for interehst had £2,300,000. The debt of Lombardy, w been increased by the forced loan of £34,i0c00,000 made by Radetzky in 1848, seems to have74sotoo,oodoao, at the time of the Treaty of Villafranca a t £7,400,000, of which £1,600,000, on accoun t of the old Monte di Milano, has since been assignedto A (P u a st r r m ia a . , T m h o e d d e e n b a t , of the provinces of the Emilia and Romagna) was £1,680,000. That of Tuscany amounted to £x,360,000, including £2,280,000 con tracted after the fall of the late dynasty. Lastly comes the debt of Naples and Sicily. During the reign of the Bourbon dynasty scarcely any financial sta t eme nt of the public debt Was given, and the absence of such documents, and the mystery - which always enveloped all the Government transacti ons of a financial nature, have rendered it extremely difficult to obtain any precise information on the subject. At the restoration of the House of Bour bon there 779 s a debt of £5,040,000 ; the expenses of that restoration are calculated to have been £3,600,000, and subsequently the continued occupa tion of the country by tiro Austrian army involved a heavy burden. The events of 1848 and the sup pression of the Sicilian revolt caused additions of more than £6,000,000, and the total liabilities at length reached £22,000,000. The public debt of the new kingdom of Italy is therefore as follows : Piedmont £46,400,000 Naples and Lombardy 5,800,000 I 5ici1y........L22, 000 , 000 /Emilia 1,680,000 Tuscany With regard to reTenui Total.. .

The bell rang for saddling precisely at the time set down on the card, and shortly after Mr. Jackson's three were seen leaving the paddock; then came Jung Frau, Ihe Vest colt, and Hadji Stavros, after whom walked Royallieu, Stampede, Sappho, Wild Rose, Weasel, and Silkstone—the last out being Brighton. After the horses had taken their preli minary canters they were marshalled to the starting post by Mr. M'George on horseback. and after one slight failure occasioned by Jung Frau, Weasel, and Zodiac breaking away, the flag was lowered to an excellent start. Immedi ately the horses had got into their places, Caller Ou rushed to the front and made the running, closely attended by the Vest colt, Sappho, Wild Rose, and Brighton, the others headed by Chere Arnie, Prince of Denmark,and TimWhiffier, Zodiac with Stampede and Fairwater lying in the centre of the rear division, in which order they approached the stand, Caller Ou still holding her advantage, having Weasel, Wild Rose, the Vest colt, and Brighton as her immediate atten dants; then came Chere Arnie, Prince of Denmark, Sappho, and Tim Whiffler, the others following at wide intervals, whipped in by Zodiac, Simla, and Agag. Round ing the Infirmary turn, Mr. I' Anson's mare was headed by Wild Rose, the Vest colt going on third, with Sappho, Brighton, and Tim Whiffler, close up, the next lot being headed by Fairwater, Silkstone, Caractacus, Hadji Stavros, and Royallieu, in which way they rounded the Grosvenor bridge turn and entered the straight, where the leaders ware joined by Stampede, the lot running in close company to the stand the second time, Wild Rose still having a slight lead, Caller Ou lying second, the Vest colt third, and Stampede, Tim Whiffier, Brighton, Silkstone, and Carac tacus lying close up, the others, brought up by Simla and Agag, who were pulled up at the stand and walked into the paddock, beginning to present a lengthened tail. On rounding the Infirmary turn Caractacus rushed to the front, and became second, Tim Whiffier third, the Vest colt and Brighton side by side next. Stampede at this point dropped back, and his place was taken by the two French men. Little or no alteration occurred until they had fairly entered the back stretch, but on reaching the mile post Wild Rose was beaten, and at the Bridge turn Tim Whiffler ' apparently full of running, took up the running followed by Brighton, the Vest colt, and Sappho, the race from this point being evidently confined to this lot. On fairly entering the straight Brighton was in difficulties, and on reaching the distance he was passed by the Vest colt, who made his effort to overtake the leader opposite the stand, but failed, and was beaten easily by a length, three lengths separating the second and third, a length between the third and fourth, then came Hadji Stavros and Royallieu fifth and sixth ; Wild Rose was seventh, Zodiac eight, and Silkstone next ; the last two being Fairwater and Jung Frau. Fairwater came against Prince of Denmark at the bridge turn the last time round, and knocked him over, Entwistle escaping wiihout injury, Scramble Handicap of 3 soya each, with 30 added.

The following order from the Horse Guards, addressed to the Cavalry and Royal Artillery, has been issued by command of the Duke of Cam- bridge : "To facilitate still further the mounting of officers of the Royal Artillery and Cavalry, his Royal Highness the General Commanding-in-Chief, with the concurrence of the Secretary of State for War, is pleased to permit officers to select horses from the ranks, under the following regulations, which, however, do not abrogate those laid down in the circular memorandum dated the 24th of De cember, 1860, No. 99 : —l. An officer under the rank of field officer may select any horse, not pre viously told off for a non-commissioned officer, on the payment of .£5O to the paymaster. 2. The paymaster will credit the Government with the troop price only, the difference be:ng applied, through the regimental dealer, to the purchase of remount horses of a superior class, so that the officers may have increased opportunity of selecting suit able chargers. 3. No horse su selected shall be sold by private contract, or otherwise disposed of by the officer within five years from the date of selection, but after the expiration of that period such horse may become his property without re striction. 4. Should the officer wish to part with the horse before he has had it five years, he must place it at the disposal of his commanding officer, who will, if it be passed sound and effi cient as a trooper o r gun h o rse, and p rov id e d its age does not e xcee d s i x years, take it b ac k into the ranks at tro o p pr i ce. If, however, though sound, it be over six years old, the officer will re• ceive £5 less than troop price for every year exceed ing that age. 5. Should the horse not be sound, it may be cast, and sold with other cast horses, the officer receiving the proceeds of sale. 6. In either of the cases stated in paragraphs 4 and 5 the officer may, with the consent of his commanding officer, purchase another horse from the ranks for £5O. By these means, and without any loss to the public, it is expected that dealers will be enabled to buy troopers likely to be selected by officers, who will thus have the opportunity of securing good horses at very reasonable prices." Lieut. Skinner, of the 38th Regiment, is under orders to join his corps in India, and Capt. Ponder, of the sth Fusileers, is also about to leave Colches ter for Portsmouth. A party of officers, sergeants, and privates of each battalion will leave Colchester Camp for Hy the during the present month for the purpose of receiving musketry instruction. On Tuesday Major-Gen. Stransham, Inspector- General of the Royal Marines, accompanied by Capt. Travers, his Aide-de-Camp, arrived at Chatham for the purpose of making an inspection of the Chat ham Division of Royal Marines, which is now un usually strong, and satisfying himself of the progress made by the officers and men of the division in the new drill. On his arrival, the Inspector-General directed the battalion to be marched to the Great Lines, where, under the command of Col. Fraser, Second-Commandant, the companies were put through an extended course of battalion drill, many of the movements being somewhat intricate. During the progress of the inspection Major-General Stran sham called several of the captains and subalterns from the companies, and directed them individually to take the command of the battalion, during which he noted the efficiency, or otherwise, with which they manoeuvred the division, two of the subalterns selected being candidates for the post of adjutant. In the afternoon the battalion was again marched to the lines. when other officers besides those se lected in the morning were taken from the compa nies by Major-General Stransham, and these in succession took the command of the division. The Inspector-General returned to the Admiralty in the evening, and will, it is understood, pay similar visits of inspection to the other divisions of Royal Marines, the chief object the Lords of the Admi ralty have in view in the appointment of an Inspector-General of Royal Marines being to ascertain by means of frequent inspections that the officers at the several divisions are thoroughly acquainted with their duties. The Ist battalion 10th Regiment, under the com mandbo and South-Coast Rail ways, special trains on the n of Col. Norman, arrived at P or t smout h yes terday c B I irffi Brighton ht South-Eastern e n r u d t a h y from as Sb a - tern ways.

Those who embarked con sisted of 27 officers, 41 sergeants, 20 drummers, and 778 rank and file, besides women and children, and five officers' horses. The Adventure returns to Portsmouth from Dublin. The 3d Royal Surrey Militia assembled on the Bth inst. at their headquarters, under the command of Lieut.-Colonel Challoner ; they muster 890 men of all ranks. COLLIERY EXPLOSION.—We learn that a colliery explosion took place yesterday in the coal pit belonging to Messrs. Brand and Co., situated at the corner of the Lanark road, between Hamilton and Larkhall. The report is that considerable injury has been sustained—involving, it is to be feared, the loss of life as well as destruction of property; but the particulars we have not ascertained,--North ,British ~~~ _ e_... _ e_ e' ~~~ -tt PRICK.... —..4d. STAMPED ....¢d. nary receipts at the coin approximately calculated mencement of 1861 were as follows : Naples .... £5,400,000 Zmilia I Piedmont...... 6,545,000 Lombardy 3,425,000 Tuscany Total £19,330,000 In relation to these figures it is observed by Mr, West that it is satisfactory to see that the revenue has increased, however inadequate it may be to meet the enormous increase of expenditure and na tional debt. In the five years from 1853 to 1858 there was an increase of more than 25 per cent., but " it must at the same titne be observed that this wa s due more to the imposition of new taxes than to the impulse given to the trade of the country." That the introduction of free-trade principles has been attended by salutary results is demonstrated, how ever, by the imports and exports, and there is no doubt that had these principles been more fully carried out, and had political events not interfered so materially with all the natural operations of the country, more striking benefits would have been witnessed. Concerning the immediate future it is said that the enormous expenses which have been incurred in the Neapolitan provinces by the War Department will probably amount to more than the revenue of :all the other provinces, and that, how ever favourably events may turn out, the Finance Department will have to provide for a large and, perhaps, increasing deficit, since it is calculated that " the conquest or acquisition of Venetia and the satisfactory solution of the Roman question would raise the capital of the national debt t0X132,000,000. On the other hand, it is anticipated that the revenue would then be 126,000,000, and that with a well regulated financial system the interest on this debt would not absorb more than one• fourth of the ordi nary revenue of the kingdom. The public credit of the country is believed not to have sustained any material injury from the still uncertain state of affairs, and it is affirmed that " should the Govern ment require a fresh loan to meet any sudden emergency, they would, doubtless, find a ready sub scription." AUSTRALIAN EXPLORATIONS. A further contribution to our knowledge of the topography of the northern portion of this continent has been made by the publication of Mr. Lands borough's journal. Starting from the left bank of the Albert river, he took a south-westerly direction and penetrated into the interior as far as 20 deg. 14 min. 5 sec. south latitude, in longitude 138 deg. 17 min., thus reaching a point about 250 miles south-east of Stuart's furthest, on the 27th August, 1860. Finding no trace of the Burke and Wills expedition, and being apprehensive of a collision with some natives, 100 in number, who were en camped close to the little party, Mr. Landsborough retraced his steps, by a somewhat different route, to the depot on the Albert river, where he obtained , intelligence of Walker's party having discovered traces of Burke and his companions on the Flinders River. The country traversed during the outward journey consisted for the first few days of thinly wooded and well-grassed plains, which were suffer ing at that period of the year (the height of summer) from want of rain. The explorers followed the course of the Gregory River for some distance, and discovered numerous creeks and streams flowing into it, and one watercourse from the south having a wider channel, though a shallower current, than the Gregory. Most of the creeks subsequently crossed appeared to be destitute of water at that sea son, and showed traces of being subjected to floods during the winter months. In the excursions under taken in search of water, Mr. Landsborough, after crossing come besaltic ridges overrun with desert grass, came upon fine plateaux, lightly timbered and covered with rich grasses, to which he gave the name of the Barkly Tableland. Indeed, the fre quency with which he mentions the occurrence of these fertile elevations conveys a very favourable impression both of the climate and the natural capa bilities of the country. No less than four conside rable watercourses flowing into the Gregory River from the south were discovered and named by Mr. Landsborough, and most of the country traversed is described as well adapted for pastoral purposes at certain seasons of the year. And, inasmuch as the rainfall on the north-eastern coast occurs at a period when the country skirting the southern portion of the Gulf of Carpentaria appears to be suffering from drought, it is possible that a system of migra tory settlement may hereafter be adopted, with ad vantage to the flocks and herds which may even tually occupy both regions. A belt of tableland appears to stretch from east to west, between the 18th and 19th parallels of south latitude, and the mountain barrier which separates it from the plains on the seaboard is the source of most of the affluents of the Nicholson, the Albert, the Leichardt, the Flinders, and other rivers flowing into the Gulf. Burke and Wills crossed this table land, and were much struck with the beauty of its aspect and richness of its vegetation, the ame nity of the climate, and the indications it presented of the existence of mineral wealth. Although within the tropics, its natural elevation is suffi ciently great to insure a mild temperature, and as the formation of the country, consisting of a num ber of basins lying in among a chain of hills, would render the construction of reservoirs com paratively easy, while the annual rainfall must be very great, this region holds out the promise of becoming colonised by that wave of population which is gradually creeping up the eastern side of Australia, and will naturally trend ro und towards the gulf, when it reaches the peninsula.

One gratifying circumstance connected with these sub sidiary expeditions is that they have been unat tended with any serious casualty on land. Mr, Landsborough only lost two horses, which were drowned in crossing a river, and he seems to have acted with commendable caution in not pushing his exploration forward beyond a point at which his retreat was secure, and the cheerful alacrity with which lie resumed his arduous labours the moment his party had been strengthened and provisioned for the exploit proves that his heart was in the work. We trust that but h he and Mr. Walker will be enabled to add materially to the information we already possess with respect to the country traversed by the Burke and Wills expedition, and will supply many interesting details unavoidably overlooked or unre• corded by the bravo men who have perished.— elbourne Aryta. ----- LADVERTISEMENT.i—IIoIIoway's Ointment and Pills. — Unseemly eruptions.—No means heretofore discovered are so competent to cope with and conquer Cliolemishs, boils, eruptions, redness and roughness of skin, as those celebrated medicaments, which to be praised need only to bo known.

(PER STEAMER CITY OF NEW YORK, via QUEENS. TOWN.) NEW YORK, MAY 2, EVENING._ The Federal Commander Farragut formally de manded of the Mayor of New Orleans an unquali fled surrender of the city on the 2Gth ult. He like wise demanded that the Federal flag should ho hoisted on all public buildings and all Confederate flags removed. He requested the Mayor to use his authority to quell any disturbance, and concluded by saying, "I shall severely punish any persons committing such outrages as were witnessed yester day, by armed men firing upon helpless women and children for giving expression to their pleasuz c at witnessing the old flag." _ The Mayor replied that for the sake of the women and children General Lovell evacuated the city, leaving the administration of affairs to the civil authorities. "To surrender an undefended city," he continued, " would be au unmeaning ceremony: The city is yours by power of brutal force, not by the choice or consent of the inhabitants. It is for you to determine the fate that awaits us here. T w f h o e u r l de is not n o be though You p an a i r n a ly o se r d mid at must h o , a i • s h t o i D s e g h a a fi n a d g o n r o h t e ad f o o f u r t h o e o wn in h a r; d bi option . tan ts: may m trust t i n n o t the c c o h u o n n t u o u n r their submission to unmerited wrong. Your occu pancy of the city does not transfer the allegiance of the inhabitants from the Government of their choice to one which they have deliberately ated. They yield the obedience which the con queror is entitled to extract from the conquered." The Richmond inquirer says Fort Macon was sur rendered conditionally on the 25th to General Burn side after ten hours' bombardment. Rumours are current that General Beauregard has fallen back from Corinth to Memphis. General Halleck's army is reported to number 160,000 effective troops. The Senate has confirmed the appointment of Charles Lathrope as collector at Now Orleans. MAY 3, MORNING. The latest despatches from New Orleans report the surrender of the city by the Mayor.. A battalion of Federal marines from the squadron had occupied the city. General Butler's forces had landed on Lake Pontchartrain, and were within a few miles of the city. A Cairo despatch says that the news from Pitts burg Landing is of the highest importance, but its telegraphic transmission is forbidden. Nothing is known here of the nature of the news. The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald affirms that a consultation had taken place at Washington between the Federal Cabinet and the foreign diplomatic corps. The consultation re ferred to the French Minister's visit to Richmond, and the question of an armistice was discussed. It was believed that the French Minister since the occupation of New Orleans had concluded that the time had arrived when, under the instructions of the Emperor, he might step forward as mediator. Also that in consideration of the monopoly of com mercial advantages and aid of some kind from the Southern States in regard to Mexico the Emperor Napoleon has agreed to use his influence with the Federal Government to end the war upon terms securing to the Southern States an independent nationality, and that if the Federal Government did not accept his mediation the Emperor would him self acknowledge the Southern Confederacy. The Committee of Ways and Means had reported. an appropriation amounting to 226,000,000 dole. for the support of the army during the year ending in June, 1863. Nothing decisive is reported from Yorktown. The correspondent of the New York Times is con vinced that 12 hours after General M,Clellan com naences his attack Yorktown and its garrison will be captured. A Chicago despatch says that the FederaLs have occupied Baton Rouge, near New Orleans. NEW YORK, MAY 2, EVENING. Money abundant; gold, 2a pm. Exchange firm and advancing, at 1131.

Railway BIRTHS, DEATHS, AND MARRIAGES IN ENGLAND. The annual report for the year 1860 states that the aggregate number of names enrolled in the re gisterr books of England and Wales in that year was not equal to the number in 1859; but th h o ie d y crease is not a subject of regret, for it arose chiefly from the fact that the mortality than low in 1860. The deaths were 18,000 less were they had been in the previous year ; the were more nearly 5,000 less; but the ma . rring numerous than they had been either t he n or at any who died 442, -1, and together year were 340,312, tho children . born 684,048, the its full extent a different per sons;former time.

When the pop • ulation was enumerated on April 8, 1861, it was found to be 20,066,224 ; and that its rate of increase in the last decennium had been 12 per cent. A ccep ti ng th ese resu lt s , i n con j un ction with another fact which the last four censuses have revealed, viz., that the rate of increase has constantly descended during the last 40 years, it is estimated that the population of England in the middle of the year 1860 was 19,902 918. It will serve, with a multitude of other facts that are familiar to most readers, to give a vivid impres sion of the vitality of the English people, to state that when young men who have barely now reached their majority were born the annual marriages were about 120,000, and that in 1860 they exceeded 170,000. The marriage rate was well maintained through _ the greater part of the year, but especially. in the spring quarter, when Cheshire and Lancashire, and to generally the manufacturing districts, appear spirit. have regarded their position with a chee rf u l asl'6 per The average marriage rate in 23 Year: oWniarried to cent.
