The weekly number of deaths in London has shown no fluctuation in the last three weeks. In the last week of May the number was 1,119; the next return gave 1,114, and that for last week again 1,119. The mean temperature of the air, which had been in the previous two weeks about 53 deg., fell last week to 55 deg. The rate of mortality was last week exactly the same as the average for this period of the year ; for the average number of deaths derived from the re turns of corresponding weeks in 1852-61, and cor rected for increase of population, was 1,119. The births in last week exceeded the deaths in the same period by 663. Typhus was fatal in 82 cases, the corrected ave rage being 40. Of that number there were 39 returned as typhus, 16 as typhoid fever, 17 as fever, the remainder under other designations. Fourteen deaths by typhus were returned by the London Fever Hospital. Five deaths from fever occurred in the workhouse of Whitechapel. Of 49 deaths caused by measles, 3 were returned by he Registrar of Limehouse, sby the Registrar of Mile-end Old Town, East. Two infants died by murder or manslaughter. A man, aged 49 years, died from glossitis after three days' illness. A woman, aged 55 years, from mer curial salivation. The oldest persons recorded as having died in the week were two widows, aged respectively 94 and 95 years, and a man, aged 94. Last week the births of 900 boys and 822 girls, in all 1,782 children, were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1852-61 the average number (corrected) was 1,769. SANITARY CONDITION OF THE CITY' At the weekly meeting of the Commissioners of Sewers held yesterday at Guildhall, Dr. Letheby, the medical officer of health, reported on the state of 264 housps that had been inopeuted during the last fortnight, and he submitted a list of 52 places for sanitary improvement. He likewise reported that the markets and slaughterhouses had been duly in spected, and that the officers had seized 4.227ib5. of meat as unfit for human food. It consisted of B 3 9 sh eep , 1 calf, 4 pigs, 26 quarters o f b ee f, an d 38 j 842 fr lb sm s. were diseased, i l sea t s h e a d t , 308 had diedputrid, f r a n n m d the remainder natural causes. the urns for the last fortnight are The mortality r et urns almost exactly period of the last a veragesix years. for the corresponding causes of 92, of which 42 were a mo ng The total number was persons of 60 and upwards.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] Holloway's Pills. Priceless Health.—ln most human acts there are a thousand ways of going wrong to one of go'ng right. The right way to preserve or restore health is to keep the blood pure and the corporeal functions regular. These objects are quietly and fully attained by Holloway's Balsamic Pills, which purge from the system all morbid matters before they have caused any serious derangements ; or, if mischief have been already produced, they arrest its progress and repair its devastations. This is the only rational treatment—ever safe —always effective. When the spirits flag, when the nerves fail in their duty, when the appetite is capricious and the digestion is at fault, these admirable Pills will readily reor ganise the disordered actions, THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 18, 1862. THE MAGAZINES. Fraser's Magazine. The tales, " Thalatta! 'Thalatta!" and " Barren Honour," are both finished in this number. A. K. H. B. has an essay, termed " Going on," in which he moralises upon change, decay, inconsistency, ill nature, andimanv other ills that flesh is heir to. Mr. Ruskin gives a sequel to the papers on Political Economy, which appeared in the Corshal Magazine. " Political economy," he says, " is neither an art nor a science, but a system of conduct and legislature, founded on the sciences, directing the arts, and im possible, except under certain conditions of moral culture." And he states his intention of pursuing the subject at his leisure. There is a readable article on " The Reign of Terror ;" and the remain der treats of " Hungary," " Homeric Translations," and the International Exhibition. Temple Bar. This instalment of " Captain Dangerous" is scarcely equal to the last. The hero leaves Jamaica after a quarrel with his mistress, the washerwoman, and arrives in the low countries, where he saves a rich Cockney from drowning, and enters his service. " English Art from a French point of View" is a translation by the editor of the first of a series of articles on the English pictures in the International Exhibition, contributed by Theophile Gautier to the DI oniteur, and does justice to our great masters. Thus, " In landscape, Gainsboraugh combines with a purely natural expression a kind of Idyllic dreami ness, recalling the innermost yearnings of the soul. How often must a wearied imagination, a jaded fancy, sick of the tumult of towns, and tired of a mundane career, have built for itself, with less freshness and poetic feeling, it may be, but yet with equal enthusiasm, such a retreat as Gainsborough's "Cottage Door." How much real happiness seems to dwell in this charming little nest, all hung with garlands, which a stray sunbeam comes furtively seeking through the deep shadows of the trees What tranquil dreams one might indulge in to the music of the rivulet's murmur, as it runs before the cottage threshold !" Under the head of "Amusing Mossoo," Mr. Edmund Yates passes judgment on London entertainments, being particularly hard on music halls; and the interest of "Aurora Floyd" is well sustained. sances. One on the pottery, porcelain, and glass:in the International Exhibition follows. There is also a short notice on "patent Law Reform," and descriptions of recent patents. The Notional Magazine. A photograph of Balmoral is given with the pre sent number. Severil tales are progressing. " The Moralities of French Literature" are held up for condemnation, and the International Exhibition receives a share of attention. Routledge's Illustrated Natural History. The denitens of the sea are still being delineated and described. The first part of the present num ber, treating of such grotesque specimens as sea urchins and sea dragons ; the latter the more grace ful forms of shells. Church and State Reeew. Saunders, 0 tley, and Co. This is the first number of a new review, which, though chiefly devoted to ecclesiastical matters, does not wholly ignore secular concerns. Thus we find articles on " Retrenchment," and on " The Civil War in America," as well as on such topics as "Hymnology," and " Marriage Licence, Special and Ordinary." The form is similar to that of the Saturday Review, but it is double the price, and contains doubli the,4unntity of matter. since they dare perversely to derive all the truths of religion from the native energy of human reason, they assign to each one a certain primary law as it were, according to which he may think and speak freely of religion, and manifest that honour and worship for God which is best suited to his inclina tions. But they arrive also at that degree of impiety and impudence, that they endeavour to attack Heaven itself, and take away God himself from the midst of it; for with marked iniquity and equal folly they do not fear to assert that no supreme, all-wise, all-provident divine will exists distinct from this universe, and that God is the same with nature, and therefore obnoxious to change ; and that God becomes man and the world; and that all things are God, and that the very nature of God has substance, and that God and the world are one and the same thing, and that hence spirit and matter, necessity and liberty, the true and the false, good and evil, and the just and the unjust, aro the same; than which certainly nothing more mad, nothing more impious, nothing more repugnant to reason itself, can ever be imagined or devised. But of authority and law they prate so rashly as im pudently to assert that that authority is nothing more than the amount of numbers and of material strength, and that right consists in material fact, and that all the duties of men are an empty name, and that all human facts have the force of right." The document proceeds in the same strain to a wearisome length. Bentley's Miscellany. Mr. Ainsworth's tale is in its third book. Thanks to Mr. Candish, Tradescant and Chatteris are saved from the Jews, and the former wins largely at play. The writer of the "World's May Meeting" is severe upon Captain Fowkes's architectural effort, which he terms "the ugliest building ever seen except in a nightmare ;" whilst he says that, "Ever since , they undertook their arduous duties, the Commis sioners appear to have had the Court of Bankruptcy looming before them, and to have acted on a penny wise and pound-foolish principle." In "A Glance at Rome in 1862" we have a description of the Carnival, of the studios of the sculptors, and of the Pope ; and " A Day with the Alligators" will please those interested in natural history or sport. Macmillan's Magazine. In Harriet Martineau's article, " The Brewing of the American Storm," the conduct of the principal American statesmen of whom she had personal knowledge is discussed; and she says, "If the civil war is to be laid to the charge of any one man, that man is assuredly Daniel Webster." The tales " Ra venshoe" and " Vincenzo" are in progress. An un published poem of Shelley's, written in the Bay of Terici, is given ; and there is an appreciative notice of William Barnes, the Dorsetshire poet. There is a very useful paper, too, on "Management of the Nursery ;" and in " Notes of a Tour through the Boal t er ot StatPci.. " VTA meet with the follewin. co DIRT IN THE SLAVE STATES. "In old English books of travel about Switzerland, it used to be a stock remark, that you could tell whether a canton was Protestant or Catholic, by the relative cleanli ness or dirtiness of the towns. How far the fact was true, or how far, if true, it established the truth of the Protes tant religion I could never determine; but a similar con clusion may certainly be drawn with regard to the Free end Slave States. You may lay it down as a rule throughout America, that wherever you flad slavery, there you have dirt also. Nashville, as I said before, is one of the cleanest and brightest of towns at a distance ; but when you come close the illusion vanishes. There is no excuse here for want of cleanliness. The position of the town makes drainage easy ; the stone used so plentifully is clean of itself ; and water is abundant. The only thing wanting is energy to keep the place clean. The hotel where I am stopping is in itself an institution (in American phrase) of the country. It is the best in the city ; and Nashville was always celebrated as one of the most thriving and pro sperous cities in the South. Hotel keeping is not suffer ing, like other trading concerns, from the depression of the moment. This hotel is crammed with guests, and has been crammed throughout the winter. Outside, it is hand some enough ; but, internally, I say without hesitation, it is the dirtiest and worst managed hotel it was ever my for tune to stop in. The dirt is dirt of old standing, and the mismanagement must be the growth of years long preced ing the days when Secession was first heard of. The bar, as I mentioned, is closed by order; but the habitues still hang about the scene of their former pleasures. In the hall are a number of broken shattered chairs ; and here, with their legs stretched in every conceivable position, a num ber of well dressed respectable perlons loaf all day long, smoking and chewing. They don't seem to have any thing to do, or much to say to each other; but they sat here to kill time by looking at ono another. The floor is as dirty as successive strata of tobacco juice can make it ; and, at the slightest symptom of chill in the air, the stove is kindled to a red hot heat, and the atmosphere is made as stifling as the cracks in the doors will allow it to become."

THE POPE'S ALLOCUTION. ROME, JUNE 10, MIDNIGHT. Yesterday the Pope held a Consistory in the Vatican, which was attended by the Cardinals, Partriarchs, Archbishops, and Bishops assembled in Rome to assist at the canonisation of the martyrs in Japan. His Holiness pronounced an allocution, of which the following are the principal paragraphs : " Venerable Brethren !—We have been filled with the greatest joy, venerable brethren, that we have been enabled, with the assistance of God, to decree the honours and worship of saints to 27 invincible heroes of our divine religion in the presence of you, who are endowed with distinguished piety and virtue, and have been invited to share our solicitude in these trying times, fighting for our Israel, to our great relief and consolation. Would that while we are overwhelmed with joy no cause of grief and mourning existed elsewhere to sadden us ! But we cannot otherwise than grieve and be afflicted when we see the very sad and never-to-be-sufficiently deplored evils and losses by which, with the great detriment of souls, the Catholic Church, and civil society itself, are oppressed and vexed in a lamen table manner. You well know, venerable brethren, the truly iniquitous war against the whole Catholic republic which has been declared by those men who, ensmies of the cross of Christ, not supporting his doctrines, and associated together by a nefarious alliance, blaspheme what they are ignorant of, and by depraved arts of every description endeavour to weaken the foundations of our most holy religion and of human society.—Yea, and if it were possible, up met and souls of all with the most pernicious errors—to corrupt and root them out of the Catholic religion. Indeed, those most crafty artificers of fraud and mendacious fabricators do not cease to raise out of darkness certain monstrous portents of former errors, already and often exposed and rejected by the soundest writers, and condemned by the weightiest judgment of the Church, and to exag gerate these portents, presented under the most de ceitful forms and words, and to disseminate them by all possible methods. By these melancholy and altogether diabolical arts they contaminate, debase the knowledge of all, diffuse a deadly poison, to the destruction of souls, exercise an unbridled licen tiousness of life and depraved desires, invert social and religious order, and endeavour to extinguish every idea of justice, truth, right, honesty, and re ligion, and deride, despise, oppose the most sacred dogmas of Christ. The mind shudders and shrinks back, and dreads even lightly to touch upon such great and pestiferous errors, by which then of this description in these most unhappy times mingle all things, divine and human. No one of you, venerable brethren, is ignorant that by these men is evidently destroyed that necessary coher ence which by the will of God intervenes be tween each order, as well as natural as supernatural, and that by these men, too, are altogether changed, subverted. destroyed the peculiar, true, and genuine genius of the divine relation, the authority, and constitution and power of the Church. And they proceed with that temerity of opinion that they do not fear audaciously to deny all truth and all law, power, and right of divine origin, since they do not blush to assert that the knowledge of philosophical subjects and of morals, as also civil laws, are able and ought to be independent of divine revelation,and of the authority of the Church, and that the Church is not a true and perfect society manifestly free, nor has any power over its own peculiar and constant laws, conferred on it by its Divine Founder, but that it belongs to the civil power to define what are the laws of the Church and the limits within which she can exercise her rights. Hence they perversely insist that the civil power can interfere in matters which belong to religion, morals, and spiritual go vernment, and even prevent the overseers of sacred things and the faithful from communicating freely and mutually with the Roman Pontiff, divinely con stituted the supreme pastor of the whole Church, so that is clearly dissolved that necessary and close connection which ought to exist between the mem bers of Christ's mystical body and its visible head acording to the divine institution of Christ, the Lord himself. But there is nothing which they do not hesitate to publish to the masses by every fallacy and deceit—as that the sacred ministers of the Church and the Roman Pontiff should be alto gether excluded from all jurisdiction and dominion in temporal affairs. Moreover, they do not hesitate to assert, with the greatest impudence, that divine revelation not only is of no advantage, but that it is even injurious to human perfection, and that divine revelation is itself imperfect, and subject, therefore, tojhe continual and indefinite progress which cor responds with the progress of human reason. Nor are they ashamed to boast that the prophecies and miracles explained and narrated in the Sacred Books, are the comments of poets, and the sacred mysteries of our divine faith are the height of philosophical in vestigations, and that mythical inventions are con tained in the divine books of each testament, and that the Lord Jesus Christ himself, horrible to be spoken, is a mythical fiction. Wherefore these most turbulent worshippers of perverse dogmas bluster out that the laws of morals have no divine sanc tion, and that it is by no m e ans necessary that human laws should be conformed to natura l l aws or receive any power of obligation from Gal: an d hence they assert that no divine law exists. "Ye: more, they dare to question the action' of God on men and the world, and rashly affirm that human reason, without any respect being paid to God, is the only judge of the true and the false, of good and evil, and that the same human reason is a law to itself, and is Sufficient of its own natural strength to provide for the good of men and the people. But OUR TRADE WITH FRANCE. The extent of our trade with France during the eight months from the Ist of September last, when the new treaty came into full operation, to the 30th of April, has just been:stated in official documents prepared at the Custom-house and presented to Parliament. The figures are satisfactory, and show that our industry has gained a new field, which must have had a most opportune influence in par tially counteracting the effects of the Morrill Tariff in America, Economists will, of course, adhere to their principle that commercial treaties are inexpe dient, and at the best can supply but a clumsy means of approaching those results which a strict adherence to a free trade policy on our part would inevitably have compelled in their integrity; bat we may con gratulate ourselves that great good. has been achieved, although not the greatest that was prac ticable, and that this good, by being artifically accelerated, has reached us at a moment when the state of affairs in America has rendered it of double importance. It appears that in the eight months specified in the return, our total exports to France amounted to £13,796,269, showing an increase of 40 per cent. on those of the corresponding eight months of the previous year, and of 123 per cent. on those of the same period of 1860. This is a very striking advance, but the changes become more re markable when we distinguish the exports of purely British produce and manufactures from those which consisted of foreign and colonial merchandise. Of the total of £13,796,269, 56 per cent. was represented by our own goods, and it is found that while the ex portation of these to France has been exactly doubled during the eight months of the treaty, those of foreign and colonial merchandise, in the distribution of which we act merely as speculators or agents, in creased only 2 per cent. Between 1860 and 1861 the distinction had been the other way, and, while the ezportation of our home products had then in creased 31 per cent., those of foreign and colonial had increased 100 per cent. Among the chief arti cles of home production in our improved trade are woollens, which now figure for an aggregate of £1,710,486 against £367,453 last year. Iron, which has increased from £308,046 to £739,515. Cotton piece goods, which have increased from £129,086 to £621,507, and cotton yarn, which stands at £204,484 against_X__3B ,l s3 .‘ B,.. h ,' • hardware from £103,558 to £172,734 ; and silk manufactures from £45,040 to £82,337. Coal, contrary to expectation, shows a fractional decrease, from £400,860 to £397,266; and it is noticeable, as an indication of the shifting and immediate action of neighbouring markets to the wants of the moment, that, although in the eight months from September to April last we drew considerable quantities of wheat and flour from France, we also shipped to that country Eng lish wheat to the value of £791,936, in addition to American and other foreign wheat and flour, amounting to £612,865. Among the foreign and colonial produce we send to France are many of the chief staples for manufacturing purposes, and the depression of general trade will account for the ab-P sence of any increase under these heads. Raw silk, indeed, which we bring mainly from China, has declined from £2,627,665 to £2,256,658, and wool, principally Australian, has declined from £595,762 to £510,190. Of cotton the value sent in the last eight months has been £293,988, against £219,633 in 1861. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, June 17.—The speculative feeling which has manifested itself in the Liverpool cotton market has reacted upon the yarn market here, to day, but has not made itself 'felt much upon the cloth market. There is a growing feeling that the war in America may be so protracted as to keep back cotton and cause higher prices, but still this feeling is slow to reach the buyers of cloth, who act with much of the caution they have displayed for months past. In yarns there has been a large business to-day at an advance in prices, reaching in many cases to id. per lb. Merchants in the Calcutta, Bombay, German, Mediterranean, and home trades have all been buying very freely. For some classes of yarns the Germans admit they have had much difficulty in executing the orders com mitted to their care. The aggregate business in yarns is generally reported to be large. The excited state of the Liverpool cotton market is naturally causing manufacturers to ask higher prices, but it is next to impossible to get this advance, and wherever it is pressed it has the effect of at opping business. Manufacturers who have been holding back their stocks, and are in a position to take the rates of last week, have less difficulty in finding buyers, and in these cases business has been effected. Stocks having been much reduced, however, by the activity which displayed itself in the early part of last week, sel lers, as a rule, are disposed to hold for an advance proportioned to the rise in cotton and yarns, and in such instances there is little or nothing doing. Manufacturers are generally pretty firm in demand ing the advance, and where it cannot be obtained are mostly owing to the reduced stocks on hand, rather indifferent about selling. Buyers for India are probably holding back till further advices are to hand. There was a rumour in the market of some firm having received a telegram from Calcutta in anticipation of the mail, stating that shirtings had advanced six annas (9d.) per piece, but we could not trace it to any authentic source, though, as a considerable improvement was anticipated at last dates, it is thought not improbable such news might come to hand. LEEDS, 17th. —The woollen cloth markets have shown very little animation in either the coloured or the white cloth hall to- day. The attendance of buyers was com p a ratively small, and their opera tions were confined to purchases of small lots of varied goods, rather than of anything bulky of any particular manufacture. There is no change in the general character of the trade, and prices remain steady. Manufacturers in the neighbourhood, as well as those in the wn ; report themselves as ac tive as they have been at any period during the nresent year.

GRAND TRIAL IN II YDE PARK OF FIRE ENGINES FROM THE' PXHIBITION. Yesterday morning at an earl y hour, the Royal Commissioners of the International Exhibition, sembled on the banks of the Serpentine River, near Kensington Gardens., for the purpose of witnessin g the working of the fire engines sent to the Exhibi tion by the various manufacturers previous to ad judicating upon the respective merits of the ma- chines. Amongst those officially engaged during the morning were the Duke of Sutherland, Professor Rankin, of Glasgow University, Mr. C. B. King, Mr. E. J. Colburn, C.E., Charles *White, Esq., of the County Fire Office ; Mr. English, F.R.S., late superintendent of Leeds Fire Brigade ; Mr. P eek, from Amsterdam ; Mr. Hewitt, superintendent of Fire Police at Liverpool; Sir C. Wentworth Dilke, W. Brown, Esq., of the Westminster Fire Office; Messrs. Shand and Mason, Mr. Merryweather, Mr. Rose, of Manchester ; Mr. Roberts, the patentee of the new fire engines, Millwall ; Mr. F. Hodges, the distiller, of Lambeth ; Signor Cassenteni, the de signer of the Hodges testimonial engine; Messrs. Baddeley, Spencer, and Gordon, and representatives of West Ham, Notting-hill, Coventry, Manchester, Hackney, and indeed most of the fire brigades in the kingdom. The first experiment commenced whir a trial of Messrs. Shand and Mason's, Messrs. Merryweather and Son's, of Long-acre, and those built by Messrs. Rose, of Manchester. The number of gallons of water thrown were decided to be in favour of Shand and Mason, 1; Merryweather, 2 ; Rose, 3. Three other experiments were made with the same re sults, the engines throwing respectively in 30 seconds 78 gallons, 68 gallons, and 65 gallons, Shand and Mason's second trial with a 30-inch stroke threw 70 gallons per 30 seconds; the third trial, with a 31-inch stroke, threw 64 gallons. Making the trials from a greater distance, Shand and Mason's engine threw 324 gallons, and Merryweather's 323 gallons in the same period. Another trial between Shand and Mason's and Messrs, Merryweather's engines were declared as follows :—The first-named, with 136 stroke, 190 gallons ; the second, with 129 stroke, 178 gallons. The grand testimonial engine, presented by the inhabitants of Lambeth to Mr. Hodges, was next tried against one built by the same makers, Messrs. Merryweather, and the result was that in two minutes the engine belonging to the makers threw 100 gallons more than that more recently built by the same firm. The water was discharged 60 feet horizontally and 20 feet vertically. While the experiments were going on some mem bers of the Royal family passed over the Ser pentine Bridge, apparently to witness from their carriages the operations of the engines. The bank on the south side of the Serpentine was densely crowded, but the greatest order was maintained by the police. The various engines sent into the International Exhibition were subsequently tried in the presence of Capt. Shaw, the superintendent of the London Fire Brigade, and Mr. Gordon (City), Mr. Spencer (West-end), and Mr. Baddeley (north division) of the Royal Society for the Protection of Life from Fire; Mr. Sampson Low, the secretary, acting_ s referee over his men. A great number of conduc tors were present to show how the machines could be advantageously used in case of accident by fire. The Duke of Sutherland, with the Royal Com missioners, attended the trials made throughout the day, and without going into minor details we may state that a very important trial took place between uue 01 met. engine, and Mr. Robert's engine, the patentee of IVlillwall. Robert's engine with a 57 stroke threw 114 gallons, and with a GO stroke 117 gallons, 20 men only working at the engine. Capt. Fowke's engine, made by Shand and Mason, with 12 men threw 109 gallons of water in two minutes. Messrs. Warner and Son's, of Jewin crescent, with a small portable engine, did wonders, but all of a sudden, as with the "True Blue" engine, it broko down, owing to the lever giving way. The smaller engines, from various parts of the country, were also tried, one against the other. The merits of the larger engines which performed were as;follows :—Shand and Mason, 1; Merryweather, 2. Hodges's (made by Merryweather, and designed by Signor Cassen tini) carried uff the palm in the last but two of the experiments, for, owing to the great alterations made in the construction of the engine, it threw such an immense quantity of water as to astonish all present. The other engines, with the exception of the mishaps by breaking down, performed for a time most admirably. Shand and Mason, and Merryweather, were pro nounced by the jurors to have produced the best manufactured and most effectual fire engines. FEMALE SCHOOL OF ART-MEETING AT THE MANSION-HOUSE. Yesterday afternoon a public meeting in aid of the Female School of Art, situated at Queen-square, Bloomsbury, was held at the Mansion-house ; the Lord Mayor presided, and was supported by Mr, Tite, M.P., Mr. Westmacott, Professor Donaldson, Alderman Rose, Mr. R. N. Fowler, Mr. Harry Chester, Rev. A. W. Thorold, Rev. E. Bayley, &C. Letters appologising for non-attendance were I read from Earl Granville and the Earl of Shaftes- 4 bury. Letters were also read from Colonel Phipps, 3 intimating that her Majesty the Queen had become in patron of the school, and that it was her of Designtion intention to give to the pupils of tbeFemale School admission to the International Exhibition for three days, during the time that the fee was fixed at half a•erown. The letter announcing the free admissions bore the date of the 17th of May, and her Majesty had in accordance with her intentions granted 224 half-crown tickets. Resolutions asserting the expediency and neces sity of making an effort to place the school on a permanent and self - supporting basis were moved and spoken to by the Rev. E. Bayley, Mr. West macott, Mr. IL Chester, and other gentlemen. In the course of the addresses it was stated that the object of the institution was two-fold. First-- Partly to enable young Women of the middle class to obtain honourable and profitable employment, a nd partly to improve ornamental design in manu factures, by improving the taste of the designer. Since 1852 the number of students entered had been 846. The present number was 107, of whom 72 were studying 'with the view of maintaining them selves. If the element of rent could be struck off the expenses, the income would balance the expen diture. It had therefore been resolved to purchase the house 43, Queen-square. .The appeal made in 1860 had yielded £2,037, and £1,500 more would be required. It was earnestly hoped the present appeal would be liberally responded to, not only by the locality in which the schools were situated but by the metropolis. The institution was not of a local character, and therefore it deserved general support. The meeting terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman. THE BANK OF DEPOSIT.—On the 23d inst. the liability of the directors of the Bank of Deposit will rd bo tested in an action by ono of the depositors against Lo George Paget, a member of the late board. The a ction, we understand, is brought in the Court of Common Pleas. form_ he Court of Common Pleas has twice this week refused terfero to stay the proceedings in Davies's case Bank of Deposit; and it is understood that the effect of having placed these decisions is to treat all depositors al against 1© their money in the bank on deposit only, w ithout any in tention on their part to incur liability as members of the association. This decision will make easy the remedies to be pursued by depositors against the members of the board of diroetion, ( 1: reivo i p ot PARLIAMENTARk Cie) 12 - B VI ‘,_ 3,---,,Q 4 THE EMBANKMENT OF TH: The committee re-assembled yesterday 31:' The Right Hon. W. Cowper in the chair. The case of Mr. Drummond, banker, owner d the Adelphi-terrace, was considered at the sitting of the committee. The Common Sergeant (T. Chambers, Esq.) ad. dressed the committee on behalf of Mr. Drummond, banker, of Charing-cross, and owne* of the Adelphi terrace, and said that the promoters of the bill sought to interfere with the existing property, as it came within the limits of deviation, although not forming a part of the line of embienkment as shown upon the plan. Now, he had to state, on the part of Mr. Drummond, that if the promoters would confine themselves to the small corner of the piece of land for the formation of the new street, he would not ask_ for any cempensation, and he trusted the promoters would not uscothe powers of t he act of Parli amen t f or th e purpose o'f coercin g the of Adel p hi- terrace w h en it was Hoe alEcek-eary.

Mr; Drummond held it, which was that no building higher than 20 feet should be erected in front of it. If they bought the property subject to tile restric.. tions it was now held under, then Mr. Drummond would be content to buy it back f:om the promoters of the bill subject- to the provisionti of the Lamy& Clauses Consolidation Act. The land of the Adelphi, • terrace had been obtained under certain legislative restrictions as to the height of buildings, a nd the value of the property in the Adelphi-terrace de pended upon the continuance of those restrictions. By adopting this couro the estate would be protected and the object of the bill would be accomplished. s. The road would be made and Mr. Drummond's in terests would be uniqiured. Mr. Driver, land surveyor, wag Palled and gave evidence in support of the statement (if the leaxneeft counsel. Mr. Welsby, on the part of the promoters of the bill, said they would consent to the introduction of a clause to prevent any contravention of the old Adelphi Act. It was arranged that a clause to meet that vieNV should be prepared, - and be brought egi on a future, day. On the part of the Charing-cross Railway a clause was proposed which required that in the event of any public landing piers or stairs being substituted for the present Adelphi pier, within 250 yitide on. either side of it, the board should, if requited by the Charing-cross Railway Company,. purchase the steam-boat pier at Hungerford-market, and pay - the railway company, on receiving the transfer of it, the sum of £55,000, free from incumbrances, as the purchase-money thereof. In the event of such pur. chase, all the w'harfages, tolls, and dues leviable at the steamboat pier and belonging to the Charing cross Railway Company should become vested in, the board, who might hold, demand, nanage, work, call, use, and regulate the premises so transferred. Mr. HOPE SCOTT opposed these clauses - upon. which the room was ordered to be cleared. On ' the re-admission of the public, The CHAIRMAN said the committee had rejectek . the clauses proposed. . • . .

The CHAIRMAN having consulted the committee, said they were not prepared to adopt this clause, as it was a question entirely of compensation, which could be dealt with by another tribunal. The clause was then rejected ; and after one or two unopposed ones had been agreed to, the com mittee adjourned. ART IN COPPER• The malleable quality of copper and its adapta bility to the purposes of art have seldom been more fully demonitrated than by Mr. Thomas Phillips, of Snow-hill, in a work of very high merit, of which the spirited design is only equalled by the ambition displayed in its execution. Of all forms o f animal life, none have presented more difficulties , a nd none have been attempted with less success b y workers in stone or metal, than the forms and attitudes of birds, whether in a state of motion or repose. This defect, due to the materials used more than to the deficiencies of the artist, has been boldly grappled with and successfully overcome by Mr. T. Phillips, senior. His figure of a " golden eagle" is the first attempt made to render feather for feather in either metal or stone. The eagle, which is of the natural size, stands on the summit of a rugged and precipi tous rock in a bold and threatening attitude. With wings outspread ready for a dash at his quarry or to withstand a human foe, the bird, with one claw advanced, fi rm l y grasps w ith his talons the rocky ledge, while, with head protruding and open beak, he absolutely seems to scream warn ing and defiance. The keen eye peering from under the shadowing ridge of the skull, the rising feathers of the crest, the swell and rutting of the muscular neck, form a picture of savage anger as true to nature as it is admirably conceived and executed. The whole figure is instinct with life, and has more the appearance of a real bird electro typed by some miracle than aught else to which it can be compared. Every one of the minute feathers which cluster round the neck, the fine hair-like down which runs from the beak to the eye, the soft cushion of plumage at the junction of the wings and body, are here separate and can be each separately raised by the finger. The half-hairy, half -feathery legs of the bird are wonderful in the fineness of tile down which overspreads them. The most ex tra' ordinary triumph of Mr. Phillips's skill, bowed is shown in the extremely minute feathers " cover the frame of the pinions and whieb g the tips the fastenings of the large feathers foramoto overrate of the wings.
