We net, saw the two picture galleries fuller, and all the long corridors in their neighbourhood were densely thronged with company. The Princesses Alice and. Louisaonepaarnlyy thevi sit ; and we observed alai() am Marquis of Westminster, and several others of the hau t e noblesse. The long gst the paid succession of eases in which the Co ventry ribbon s are exposed had numerou s admirers, and th e foreigners present seemed t o be sur p rised at t heir richness of texture and beauty of design. One magnificent ribbon in which clearl y the whole of Tennyson's legend of 't Gcdiva" was embroidered attracted very considerable notice. From the cases the company would cross over to the balus trade, and looking down, admire the extraordi nary and beautiful moving panorama, which Wes disclosed by the nave below. It wocid be im possible, indeed, anywhere to enjoy a Inc" strikin g eff:et, both of sight and sound. The gaily dressed people moving in every direction, the numberless attractive objects scattered in rich profusion, the softened sounds of the various: musical instruments ascending, as it were, in one great indistinct mass of l d me o y, all combined to produce a whole, which held the company spell bound as they leant over the slender . 1 . rat lng. Wherever the promenader turned, lif e was to be found teeming, and thoroughly enjoyed by the visi tors. In one place a crowd surrounded Mr. Distin and his band; in another the great Orehestrion detained a numerous audience. The eastern plat form was thronged, first to hear Mr. Richardson and Master Drew Dean, and then to be delighted by M-r-jazare's recital on one of Collard grand pianofortes. Those who scorned music, and w. affected " notions," turr,tied into the American de partment, where the latest - 7.tr'r l- ., invention was exhibited in the shape of a :mechanical cow milker," which does the work more effectually than the neatest-handed Phyllis, and doubles the ordi nary process in results. The spectators NTere much amused, and asked, "What next ?" but great many thought that the odd machine had a great many solid recommendations to the bucolic mind. In the evening a good Many of the company were drawn off to attend Mr. Baring's fete at the Crystal Palace, but their places were soon supplied by others, who poured in even so late as five or sir o'clock. A heavy:shower which fell in the after noon tested the domes rather unpleasantly, and, marked the necessity of some action being taken to protect the costly articles on either platform from the rain. From the official return it appears that the num ber of visitors was—By season tickets, 6,271 ;by payment, 21,589; total, 27,860. PRICK.... ...4d. STAMPED ....sd. THE AIIIEBICAN CURRENCY. It is doubted if the actual present state of the American currency is known to any one in that country unconnected with the Government, and perhaps even the Secretary of the Treasury would find it difficult to arrive at more than a vague es' i mate. The last resource has been to issue what are termed " certificates of indebtedness," payable in one year, with interest at 6 per cent., and, as these may b 2 put forth in any quantity without Congressional sanction, they furnish a ready means for a tempo rary avoidance 'not only of loans, but of any fresh creation of the "demand notes," whic h are a le g al tender, and of which up to the middle of last month the Government were supposed to have issued about 220,000,000. These demand notes may be increased to £30,000,000, under en Act of Congress passed several months back, and it was expected that that total would be reached about the present time. £12,000,000 of those already out are a legal tender for all purposes, including duties on imports, but these are to be withdrawn as soon as possible, and others substituted, which will be a legal tender everywhere except at the Custom-house. Mem while, the local banks throughout all the States continue their ordinary issues, and are increasing the amount with great boldness in consequence of the suspension of specie payments and the fact that they are now bound to meet their Obligations only in the irredeemable Government currency which is being so profusely manufactured. A call for small notes of one, two, and three dollars each, owing to the withdrawal of silver from circulation, likewise encourages them in this direction. According to some opinions, the banks will before long issue two paper dollars for every one issued by the Govern ment. In the midst of all this the causes that assist to prevent the inflation from breaking up so soon as might be expected are—l., that at the commence ment of the paper issues the country was more rich in coin than at any former period ; 2, that the currency previously to the suspension of specie pay ments'had been largely contracted, from the appre hensions caused by the war; and, 3, that the im portations had for a considerable time been less, and the exportations greater, than had ever previously been known.—Times City Article. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, June 13.—We have no market to day. The races commencing on Wednesday, and the usual holidays at Whitsuntide have taken people out of town, and warehouses have only opened during the mornings since Tuesday. Some little business has been done, during the hours when warehouses have been open, but it has been trifling. Prices are rather higher, or, at least, sellers are asking higher rater, in consequence of the firmer and more active cotton market at Liverpool, but the rumours of a probable interference in American affairs by France and England have had influence on busi ness. Burns's Colonial Circular and Commercial Glance of to-morrow (proofs of which have been obligingly furnished to us in anticipation) will give some information as to the quantity of cotton now Europe, and showing how greatly the trade have been disappointed by the smallness of supply from India. The paper says:— ,, The diminished export% from Bombay for this year certainly are not as cheering as we might have expected, yet it is some satisfaction to find by the last accounts from Bom bay that this is partly owing 'to the boats not been able to reach the port, owing to the prevalence of contrary winds ; however, a large quantity is ex pected as soon as the northerly winds set in again. But still we must admit that this does not of itself insure us any large increase in the exports from India, nor does it fulfil our previous anticipations of the immense quantity we expected to reecive,whicii we still affirm she is capable of supplying. How, then, shall we account for such dilatoriness on the part of the natives? That India annually produces upwards of 6,000,000 bales is as yet undisputed,and it appears hardly credible that, if they have the way, they are without the will to sell it us at 6d. or 7d. per lb., instead of disposing of it to their own weavers at ld. or 11d. per lb., and it is upon this point we wish to draw most serious attention. The great want of India is proper channels through which cotton may find its way down to the ports. In the first place, there are only two or three European merchants in Bombay who have agents out in the cotton districts. How, then, can we ex pect the merchants to provide us with anything like the quantity'necessary to supply our requirements r If they use such small exertions to obtain the cotton direct, they at once lose our confidence in their capa bilities of supplying us. Yet hundreds of native dealers swarm in the interior, practising every sort of dishonesty, and blinding the natives as to t real state of the export market s, and thus, altho ugh these knavish dealers are fi llin g their own pockets, the growers are receiving no better prices than usual, and so have n o interest whatever in seek ing a means of conveyance to the ports. Again, it is stated th at the natives last year preferred por tion of their cotto n ra th er themselves, and conseq u ently, tthoanselwl eaavleargite saving p r oduced less cloth last year, they will consume more cotton themselves this. How does this tally with the accounts that India is over stocked with goods ? Here go ods if they were sought r f are markets open for or, and cotton ready for a market if it was h ones tl y l ooke d for. Th e f ac t is that cotton will not come down to the ports in any like the quantity they are capable of supply ing unless Europeans go up the country and fetch it. The native dealers .may, from the high price obtainable at the ports, extend their incursions into districts not yet ransacked for cotton, and in this way some extra supply may be obtained from this source. Now, it is very evident that if we are to have a large increase in our imports of cotton from India, we must ourselves send out agents to procure it. It is there to be had, and only wants fetching. What they did in 186 1 , they may surely be induced to do in 1862-3, with the double advantage of °Fen ing up new and extended markets for our exports: We therefore suggest that an association should be immediately formed for the purpose of raising from two or three millions of money, by issuing shoo' at a low amount, and distributing them throughout the length and breadt h of the land , for all, are d ee ply interested' in the cotton trade of this bar' k' n g: d o m, which, for its magnitude, has become the be em meter of our prosperity. This fund should large num ber pl o yed in the purchase of cotton by a of agencies throughout India, a po rtion b the nearest duty being to see it conveyed in bulk by y of their and most available means tothe ports,, ; 11 c a e n o d r d b a u n s c i whence it should be shipp; o d i f t teethe trade. Such direct to the associaa tion, who would dispose otive an association, with an ee like committee, and with rules carefully drawn up, would, Na e are as with a hearty response from the whole worked 'iennesrtgriectti handsome p ro fi t to the share holders.advantage would el be • d SO gained if association until ent would allow Om • t ff f official their o t t o aaetfor number of agents of i n s fuatrthei nation, n o , mee toavneAdr realis e i doublein their own ; these officers of the Government icing thickly could uu t s e nd ln d ou t u t tii hr ey ougl scattered throughout the cotton districts, well versed in the various languages, and fully ac quainted with the manner in which the native trade is conducted. This would be the means of bringing the earliest relief to the distress of Lan cashire, by providing them with cotton. Of course, the funds for that purpose would be fur nished by the a s sociation." The writer suge t ats ~ that, to get cotton from India , a larg e c a a p en a t s should be su bscribed in this co untry , and 't to g this sent out to collect or buy it, and ship country.

William Davies, of the London Hospital; Edward Morgan, of Aberystwith, Cardiganshire, M.R.C.S. and L.M. (Middlesex Hospital); and James Procter, of Ironbridge, Shropshire, M.R.C.S. (University of Edinburgh). At the same Court, Messrs. Prior Purvis, of St. Thomas's Hospital, passed the first John Baily Grewcock , .of University College, and John examination, and Mr. Watkin William Jones passed as an Assistant. CONGRES INTERNATIONAL DE BIENFAISANCE. The Congress resumed its sittings yesterday at Burlington House, Piccadilly, the Earl of Shaftes bury again taking the chair. Mr. ROBERTS, F.S.A., read a paper on "Army Sanitary Reform under the late Lord Herbert," which had been prepared by Miss Florence Night ingale, in consequence of a request made to her by the Congress at their meeting last year at Brussels. In the former Chinese war the 26th Cameronians, consisting of 900 men, although a total abstimnco regiment, were so reduced by the want of sanitary appliances, that only 20 could be got together at the end of two months. At the beginning of the Crimean war the death rate in the army was as high as 60 per cent. But so great an improvement had since taken place in sanitary matters that in the last . China war the mortality of British troops, in cluding the wounded, was little more than 3 per cent. per annum, while the sick in hospital was about the same as at home. Sir H. VERNEY dwelt on tha appalling fact that 2,000 soldiers died annually in the British army, owing to diseases arising from vice, produced by idleness, and which occupation only would remove to a large extent. Mr. E. CIIADWTCK read a paper on " Recent Sanitary jmprovements in England." Clearing away cesspools had alone reduced the mortality one-third—when combined with other rudimentary sanitary means fully one-half. The army mortality, formerly 90 in 1,000 annually, had been reduced to about 10. Mr. J. T. HAMMACK, one of the hon. secretaries of the Congress, read a paper on the " English Census of the Blind and the Deaf and Dumb," from his own pen ; and another, from that of Dr. Wilde, of Dublin, on the " Blind in Ireland." Beth were of opinion that much of those afflictions had arisen from the combined influence of bad food and want of sanitary appliances during many generations. A resolution was passed, asking the Governments of different countries to appoint a commission of inquiry on the subject of the blind and deaf and dumb. Mr. BURN, a blind man himself, said this was what the blind and the deaf and dumb wanted; and he hoped that the commission would examine the sufferers themselves, and not rely on the reports of institutions. The Rev. R. G. BAKER, vicar of Fulham, read a paper on " Measures for ameliorating the condition of the Adult Deaf and Dumb among the Poor." The CHAIRMAN said he had received a touching letter from a deaf and dumb girl, suggesting that if a copy of the deaf and dumb alphabet were printed in every book, it would multiply a hundred fold the number of persons with whom she was able to converse, and he had sent the letter to the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge. Compliance with her request would not, he believed, cost the society £lO a year. Mr. ROBERTS read a short paper on "Improve ments in the Dwellings of the Working Classes." M. AUGUST VISSCHERS, delegate from the Belgian Government, introduced for discussion the question whether the state should have the power of sepa rating from their parents children morally neglected and charging the parents with their education, and if necessary their maintenance? A committee, after investigating the subject, had reported in the affirmative, and the congress adopted their views. Another question was whether attendance at parochial schools should be compulsory, and if so, under what form and limitation ? M. VISSCHERS spoke at length against making the attendance compulsory, and moved the adoption of resolutions to that effect. The discussion on this point was prolonged and animated ; and, finally, the resolutions were passed by a considerable majority. CRICKET. SURREY V. NOTTINGHAMSHIRE. — This annual match was commenced at the Oval ground yesterday, for in con sequence of rain no play took place on Thursday. When the stumps were drawn the score stood as follows :—Not • tinghamshire, first innings, 172; second innings, with two wickets to fall, 96. The play wag resumed thii day at 11 o'clock. THE ARMY AGAINST THE BAR.—This match was played Jesterday at Lord's. The following is the scare—The Army, 97 ; the Bar, 211. THE NAVY. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Capt. Sherard Osborn, C. 8., to the Dauntless, vice Capt. Wilcox, C. 8., resigned on account of iil health; Lieut. C. T. Williamson to the Dauntless, for the Coast Guard; W. C. Pype, master, additional, to the Ajax, for the Coast Guard; W. Lowman, engineer, to the Rapid ; G. O'Brian, second class assist engineer, to the Rapid; Andrew Edwards, auk paymaster in charge, to the Dro medary ; and R. F. W. Soady, clerk, to the Caster. THE ARMY. The East India and London Shipping Company's screw steamer Queen of the South, 2,221 tons, 300- horse power, which arrived in the Thames on Thursday, from Madras, with time-expired men and detachments of invalid troops on board, landed her troops at Government-quay, Gravesend, yester day, when the detachments were forthwith conveyed to Chatham garrison. The Queen of the South [eft Madras on the 7th of March, touched at the Cape of Good Hope on the 14th of April, and sailed hente on the 10th she crossed the line on the 9th of May, and first sighted the Scilly Islands on the 9th inst. She brings home 94 non-commissioned officers and men, 13 women, and 63 children. The troops belong to the Ist (the King's) Dragoon Guards, Royal Artillery, 43d Light Infantry, 2d battalion 60th Rifles, 68th Light Infantry, and 69th Regiment, and 74th Highlanders, the whole under the command of Capt. E. Bradbury, Ist Dragoon Guards, Lieut. G. H. Cherry, 49th Madras Native Infantry, and Staff-Surgeon J. Clements. One prisoner, a deserter from the 69th Regiment, wes taken on board at the Cape. In addi tion to the troops, the Queen of the South brought home nearly 100 passengers, among whom are Col . Hall, of the 49th Madras Native Infantry, Major Ross, 71st Native Infantry, Major Campbell, and Major Fooks, of the Indian army. During the pas sage eight deaths and three births occurred on board, The deaths included four soldiers from dis eases contracted prior to their embarkation, Among the deaths were Mr. Carrell, schoolmaster, 60th Rifles, who was returning to England on leave ; one corporal of the 68th, one man of the 43d, and one of the 60th, together with four passengers. The passage from Madras to the Thames, including detentions, occupied 96 days, during which light southerly and easterly winds were experienced, which enabled the screw to be dispensed with for a considerable portion of the voyage. At the date of the Queen of the South leaving Madras the Tra falgar was embarking her troops for England. The East Indiaman Barham, 1,149 tons, Capt. A. Consitt, belonging to Messrs. Green, Blackwell, 104 days from Madras, also disembarked her troops at Gravesend yesterday, under the direction of Lieut. and Adjt. Saville and the staff from Chatham garri son. The detachment brought home consist of 120 men of all ranks belonging to the Ist (King's) Dra goon Guards, 17th Lancers, Royal Artillery, Madras Artillery, Madras Fusileers, Ist Battalion let Royals, Ist Battalion 18th Royal Irish, 43d Light Infantry, 3d Battalion 60th Rifles, 68th Light Infantry, 69th Regiment, 74th Highlanders, and 91st Regiment, With one prisoner and four insane men. The Barham embarked her troops at Madras on the 25th Feb ruary, and sailed the following day. She arrived at St. Helena on the 25th of April, and sailed thence the same day, crossed the Line on the Bth of May, and sighted the Land's End on the 9th inst. The officers in command of the troops are Capt. the Hon. A. E. Harris, 43d Light Infantry ; and Lieut. H. Morris, Madras Army, and Dr. Williams in medical charge. The following officers also arrived in the Barham as passengers : 7 -Col. Gordon, Bth Light Cavalry ; Col. Codrington, Madras army ; Major Windham, Madras Native Infantry ; Major Adyes, Indian army; and Assist.-Surg. Macartney, 3d Battalion 60th Rifles. Eleven deaths and three births occurred on board during the passage. After medical inspection the troops requiring hospital treatment were removed to Fort Pitt. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge has intimated his intention of inspecting the London division of the Corps of Commissionaires on Sunday next, the 15th iust., at 9.30 a.m. The men will parade at the Wellington Barracks, St. James's Park, and after the inspection march through Pall mall to St. Michael's Church, Burleigh-street, Strand, where they will attend Divine service as usual. The 53d Regiment (Shropshire) of Foot, stationed at Portsmouth, under the command of Col. Fred. English, C. 8., was yesterday officially inspected by Major-General Lord W. Paulet, C.B.

LATEST PARTICULARS. LYNN, FRIDAY NIGHT. Nothing like the gloom that has pervaded the public mind during the last 48 hours has been seen since the catastrophe first happened ; engineers and workmen look glum, and the general public are quite confident that if the water is not stopped until it is done by the present engineers it will never be done at all. The rain was falling heavily the greater part of yesterday, and this added to the gloom. Rumours were current that the whole framework was carried away, but this was niatrue. Wpon visiting the works this morning it was found that the steam engine had been got on to the dam, and it was being attempted to drive three or four large piles in the places where the hole had been burst. The operation was found most difficult, and the diver had to go down and remove some sacks of earth out of the way. Amid the general gloom Mr. Leather, the contractor, keeps up his spirits, and talks of being able, with the materials, machinery, and ample labour now at command, to stop the water way in a week or fortnight. One thing, however, is certain—that, with the constant scour and re- peated interference with the small strata of clay at the bottom of the cut on the site of the present cof- ferdam, the foundation will be so loosened that, should the framework be carried away (and this is by no means improbable), it will be impossible to strike a dam without going beyond the site of St. Mary's-bridge, which was carried away. In the course of to-day several lighters have been brought into the drain laden with gravel and clunch, and have deposited their cargoes at the foot of the frame work of the dam on both sides. A great number of tons of rock stone have also been dropped in, as well as some thousand sacks of earth. It is not at all surprising that the dam should burst when it is known that the panel was not dropped into the groove true, there being a space of at least 6inches between the side of the panel and the groove at the bottom. With such insecurity as this, and the very small depth to which they were driven, the only wonder would have been if the structure had re mained firm. The greatest fear is still felt that the whole struc ture will be carried away before the spring tides are over. The " shores" connected with the centre of the dam, and the struts on the shore, are notoriously insufficient to bear the heavy stress put upon them at every tide, and the tides will be at their highest point to-night or to-morrow. This morning there was a very high tide, and the cofferdam was watched with the greatest anxiety. The wind is very high from the W., and should Admiral Fitz roy's prognostications of a gale from the W.N.W. turn out correct (which, from the manner in which the wind is now blowing great guns, is very likely to be the case), nothing on earth can same the framework of the cofferdam, which is now the only check that the waters have. There is reason to believe that the vast quantities of °lunch and rock stone which have been deposited in the neighbour hood of the dam have had the effect of filling up the holes to a great extent, which were caused by the very strong scour. Immediately after the dam gave way on to Tue an ad sday Mr. Hawkshaw left the works , an d u p vanced hour to-day he had not been seen there again. The effect of the inundation and the s ubsequent I delays, &c., en the value of F en property regener is ally, is admitted to be very gre at, and the depreciation said to be 20 per cent. from the value of the lands prior to this sad disaster. It is very desirable that some amicable arrange ment should be come to between the Middle Level Commissioners and suffer6ra to avoid needless liti gation, there being every reason t o beli eve that the eng ineering evidence will be ivery strong against the Middle Level Commissioners whenever the matter shall be brought into court.

The deceased bad been buried for some four months, and it was upon the urgent representations of her friends that the coroner issued his warrant for the exhu mation of the body from Kensal-grcen Cemetery, with the view to the analysation of the contents of the stomach, preparatory to the present inquiry. Mr. Potter appeared on behalf of Mr. Phillips, the husband of deceased ; and Mr. T. Blackburn and Mr. Gould represented the deceased's relatives, The jury having proceeded to view the body, which lay on a mound in the cemetery beside the grave, and which seemed to be in a remarkable state of preservation, the following evidence was adduced: Mr. Gould was called to identify the body, but he said he was unable to speak positively on the subject. The Coroner then directed Mrs. Diana Leda, the mother of the deceased , t o be taken in a cab to the cemetery to identify the body. The identification of the body having been made, Mrs. Leele gave evidence to that effect. The Coroner said , owin g to information he had re ceived that the c hemical anal y sis of the storn it acb o f deceased had not been concluded, he thought a d v isable not to take further evidence on the present occ asion. He should therefore adjourn the Court once. It was stated that the chemical m danalysis has made has been c onfided to Dr. Harley, and Dr. Edmunds the post mor t em examination o f the body, The case appeared to excite great interest. DOGS' DODGES. That dogs are capable of scheming together, and of carrying out their schemes jointly or separately, no end of evidence might be collected. A curious instance of this was once witnessed by my brother and myself. We were walking through a by-street in Islington, when there came trotting up the street towards us two ragged, mud-spattered, cross bred curs, with " tramp" and " beggar" visibly written on their countenances. They were young dogs, however, and their poverty was no check on their spirits, so they came rollicking along, push ing and cuffing each other, and performing such tricks as naturally suggest themselves to young and depraved minds resolved on vagabondage. Pre sently, however, the rather bigger dog assumed a serious deportment—a change which his companion no sooner observed than he, too, became suddenly grave, and the two, instead of reckless canine ruf fians, appeared as slow-going, journey-worn poor little dogs, to whom ever so stale a paunch would be a gift for which to wag their tails till they were loose with gratitude. Presently the bigger dog left the road, and took to the pavement, along which he slowly walked, while his friend trotted ahead and then stretched himself in the shadow of the curb, with his nose on bis paws. Meanwhile, dog number one slunk along the pavement with a ' most cadger-like gait till he came to some private houses whose areas were guarded by railings, Down the first area the dog looked with a professional eye, paused a moment, and passed on; so with the se cond ; but on reaching the third house, through the kitchen window of which some of the inmates were visible, he reared on his hind legs, and crooking his front paws imploringly there he stood for at least a minute. The folks in the kitchen, however, either did not observe the petitioner, or else, knowing him as an incorrigible beggar, did not think fit to en courage him. Anyhow, he did not get any relief, though he waited long enough to tire his mate's patience, as was evident by the latter getting up and yawning frightfully. The beggar seemed, from his experience of the stingy house, to augur ill of the entire street ; so, joining his friend, they ceased to be hypocrites, and renewed the " larks" deferred by the calls of business.—Beeton's Home Pets.- 1 , Dogs." MAGYAR WIVES. (From the Dublin University Magazine.) In Hungary a bride is called " Elado LeCiny," the bought maiden," while thebridegroom is termed " Vevvo LE gent'," the buying youth ; and although the custom of actual matrimonial sales and pur chases, which first gave occasion to these titles, no longer exists—disgracing human nature —yet are wives more in subject ion in Hungary, particularly those of the lower class , than in any other country in Europe. The Magyar peasant evinces little or none of that noble, manly love for his wife which surrounds the domestic circle with enchantment. He is emphatically the master, perhaps a tyrant, capricious, and delighting in homage; while the woman submits to the austere rule with secret re. pinings, waiting on him with slavish fear, crushing down the prid e of her womanhood, and only to her unconscious children breathing, or daring t o breathe, her touching and affecting grief at her l one ly lot _ m arried, y et feelin g her affectio ns un reciprocated—quaffing the cup of life's sorrow s , and yet meeting with neither tenderness nor pity. One of the popular Hungarian ballads on this su bject (and it is from ballad literature we learn the true ch aracteristics of any people) has been t hus most simply , yet truthfully rendered : ti }ler labouring hands the meal must knead, H e r busy toil must bake the bread. priest may read his recor d s o'er •. and master t a k e th e a i r : The lo::1 :tought but grievous carp But there ta for the poor.
