THE KENNINGTON TRAMWAY. — In consequence owfhtilochlefcciasirorniedcoomute, willattonecessitate the late tra the removal of this tramway, great dissatisfation is felt by the m any h un d re d s i la t Kingston, and of persons who have been in the habit of tilling it as a cheap and expeditious means of transit between Westminster • bridge and Kennington-common. It having been announced that it was the intention of the opponents of the tramway to move at the next meeting of the Lambeth vestry that it be at once removed, a preliminary meeting of those inte • rested in its remaining was held last Saturday at the Horns, and it was then resolved that a public meeting of the inha bitants of the borough of Lambeth should be held on Thurs• day next, with the object of petitioning the vestry against its removal, and for the purpose of taking steps to oppose the election, now close at hand, of any member of the vestry favourable to its removal. The general feeling of the in habitants appears to be greatly in favour of the tramway, 1 and the most strenuous endeavours will be made to prevent its removal. This feeling exists without any reference to the private interests of its promoter, Mr. Train, but solely on account of its great public convenience, the public being able to ride by this tramway for 2d. the same distance for which, previous to its introduction, the omnibuses charged 4d, 102 104 81 83 103 105 92 95 103 105 id I } m 102 10p3 91 10 I iPm given half subsequent 104/ i fred Consols (Philack) 3.9.3 .. ilritish Iron Clifford nil 30 82 Devon G.

Guarantors and others invited to be present at the opening ceremony on the Ist May have the option of appearing in uniform, official or Court dress, or in private morning dress ; and, according to their choice of dress, so they will be placed in reserved seats. Ladies will appear in morning dress, and will not be separated from the gentlemen by whom they are accompanied. By order of her Majesty's Commissioners. F. R. SANDFORD, Secretar. COMMEACEMENT OF RASTER TERM. This being the first day of Easter Terra the Lord Chan cellor entertained the Judges, her Majesty's Sergeants, and Queen's Counsel at breakfast, at his mansion, in Belgrave square. After the entertainment the Judges proceeded, in pro cession, to their respective courts in Westminster Hall, where a great number of persons had collected to view the proceedings. The Judges wore their State robes, and the Sergeants and Queens'Counsel also appeared in full forensic costume. The term is expected to be a very busy one, both in law and equity. There is a list of 99 cases in the Divorce Court Sir Cresswell Cresswell will sit on Wednesday at West minster for motions, not being able to sit to-day for the want of accommodation. The term is extended five days on account of the holidays, and before its expiration on the 12th of May it is expected that the arrears of the common law courts, numbering about 200, will be reduced. By an order which will take effect to. day, every special case, special verdict, and bill of exceptions, must be divided into paragraphs, and confined to a distinct portion of the subject, and numbered. The business of the equity courts is not in arrear.: EGYPTIAN ANTIQUITIES- The Egytian Museum at the Louvre has just re ceived a donation as remarkable for the beauty of the objects of which it is composed as for the rarity and scientific interest attached to them. This pre sent is from a young and learned Polish traveller, Count Tyskiewiez, who collected the objects during his researches in Egypt. The first class comprises 140 bronzes. among which 76 small figures are par ticularly remarkable for their beauty. The represent the various gods of the Egyptian Pantheon, and their fine state of preservation allows the gold in laying which so much enhances the value of such works to be properly appreciated. The small figures of the gods Anhour, ehthah, and Cnouphis, and of different goddesses, are fine specimens of that kind of workmanship. Most of those objects bear inscriptions, which leave no doubt as to the name of the personage represented. Some of those divi nities are very rare or even quite new to science, and several others, hitherto only known by paint ings, are wanting in French collections. In that class may be mentioned a large snake in bronze, 281 inches in length, a god with the head of a cro codile, and a personage whose head is surmounted by a star. The collection of Count Tyszkiewics con tains a great number of scarabees, in hard stone ena melled. All these small objects supply fresh infor mation for science by either furnishing variations of the names of Kings and Princesses, or a history of personages who had performed an important part under some of the Pharaohs, and thus deserve a place in history. There is also an ivory palette for a scribe, furnished with its reeds, and with two cakes of red and black ink, scarcely touched. The reeds are cut at each end, one for the red and the other for the black ink. A knife of yellow bronze is remarkable for its fine form and for its keen edge. Work in precious or hard stones is represented by three small ob jects of great beauty, and may serve as points in the history of the art, as each bears its date. The most recent is a square amulet in green spath, which bears the name of a functionary in the time of Osorchon 1., who reigned in the ninth century be fore the Christian era ; the head of the goddess Hathon is engraved in relief on this object. A pendant of a necklace, the material of which re sembles chrysoprase, represents a Nile goose lying dowc. The lower surface beans the name of the Princess Neferou• ra, daughter of Tontines 111. This jewel was, therefore, cut at least 1,500 years before the Christian era. Engraving in relief on hard stone was, however, executed in Egypt at a much more distant period, as is proved by a small square amulet in sardonix, bearing at the back the name of A.nemtre 111. of the 12th dynasty. This King, who is well known as the founder of the famous labyrinth, belonged to the powerful family which covered Egypt with its monuments from Tanis to the bottom of Nubia, before the invasion of the Shepherds. At the back part of the amulet the King is represented as throwing an enemy. This scene and the Royal motto is incised. On the other side is engraved, in relief, an Egyptfan named Harbes, seated before an altar. Notwith standing the small size of this sardonix (about half an inch), there can be clearly recognised the style peculiar to that fine period of Egyptian art. There is also among the collection a fine specimen of a coffin lid, in yellow varnish; an earthen cup, enamelled in brilliant blue; and a wooden footstool, of a simple form, but valuable for its preservation. Prince Ignace Zagull, the travelling companion of Count Tyaskiewicz, has added to the collection a funeral papyrus in hieratic writing, and which is worthy of a place in the museum from its fine con dition.—Galignani's Messenger. TRAFFIC IN YOUNG GlRLS.—Yesterday, Mrs. Gallagher, well known not only in Liverpool, but in Lon don, Birmingham, and other large towns and cities in the country as a procuress and general dealer in houses of ill fame, &c., was sentenced by the Recorder of Liverpool to twelve months' imprisonment with hard labour for keeping infamous houses in Houghton and Tyrer-street, Liverpool. THE SHRIEVALTY OF LONDON AND MIDDLE SEX.—It seems likely that there will be a contest for the shrievalty of London and Middlesex on the 24th of June. During the next year of shrievalty the Prince of Wales will come of age, and it is not improbable that some honours may be conferred upon the civic dignitaries who are in office at the time. From among the livery two gentlemen have announced themselves as ambitious of the honour, namely, Mr. Hillary Nissen, of Mark-lane, who has been for the last ten years a member of the Court of Common Council for the Ward of Tower, and Mr. Hugh Jones, citizen and spectacle-maker, of Wood-street, Cheapside. Other candidates are spoken of. It is rumoured that Captain Gordon, M.P. for Berwick, is about to retire from Parliament in consequence of the feeble state of his health. A LANDLORD SUED FOR ILLEGALLY DISTRAIN ING.—At the Manchester Court of Record, on Saturday, before Mr. Sergeant Atkinson, the case of Dearden v, Bailey was heard. The defendant is a house agent, and in November, 1861, he let to the plaintiff (a widow lady) a house in Bury New Road, at an advanced rent. On Friday, the 14th of February, a quarter's rent was due, amounting to £4 103., and on the Saturday the defendant called for the money. Mrs. Dearden, the plaintiff was ill in bed at the time, and her daughter told the defendant so, and said the money should be paid on the following Monday. A few hours later, several men, acting under the defendant's orders, came to distrain upon the goods. They surrounded the house, knocked at the doors in a rude manner, and one of them having forcibly effected an en trance through a window, admitted his companions. The action was brought to recover £5O for unliquidated damages, for illegal distraint, and for entering the plaintiff's dwelling house after sunset, and removing various articles of furni ture.—After the examination of three witnesses, and upon an intimation from the Judge, a verdict for £lO was given by mutual consent. UNIVERSITY RACQUET MATCHES.—The annual single match between Oxford and Cambridge was played yesterday at Prince's Club. Mr. R. D. Walker, of Brase nose, was the champion for Oxford and Mr. A. Ainslie, of Pembroke, for Cambridge. The first two games were won by Cambridge, the points being 15 to 3 and 15 to 10. The third game was in favour of Oxford, being set at 13 all. The fourth game was won by Cambridge at 15 to 12, thus gaining the victory for Cambridge in both the single and double matches. AFFRAY ON THE LIVERPOOL ' CHANGE.---The prevalent dulness in Liverpool business circles was yester day relieved by a personal encounter on 'Change between two gentlemen well known in the mercantile circles of that town. Mr. G—, considering himself aggrieved by some re marks made by Mr. S— to his banker, demanded an apo logy by letter and word of mouth, threatening personal chastisement on refusal. Mr. 5 refused to apologise, and on this Mr. G-- struck him while in the news-room. Friends promptly interfered, but before the parties were separated Mr. G— carried off as a trophy a porticn of one of Mr. S—'s whiskers, which he afterwards stuck on on• of the new slates, appending a notice, "This is Mr. whisker." Of course this was removed at once by the employes of the news-room committee, and great regret was expressed that both " gentlemen" were not at once handed over to the custody of the police.

GREAT FIRE AT FALMOUTH. —The busy little seaport town of Falmouth has just been the scene of a terrible conflagration, which threatened to destroy the principal part of the borough, and which has resulted in the total destruction of thirty houses, together with a large amount of property contained therein, and entailing the greatest distress on many families. The fire broke out on Ludgate-hill, it is supposed, in the store at the back of a grocer's shop, about one o'clock on the morning of Saturday. The wind was blowing strongly from the har bour at the time, and the flames rapidly spread to the houses on the right and left, and ultimately to those on the opposite side of the way, Ludgate-hill being very narrow and ancient. The fire quickly assumed such magni • tude that it became manifest that to extinguish it was hopeless, and all efforts were therefore concen trated to the limiting it to as small an area as possible. With this view four houses were pulled down, one on either side at both ends of the street. These measures were so far successful, and the loss was limited to twenty-six houses burnt and four pulled down. Prompt steps have been taken to relieve the immediate wants of the houseless families, and their pecuniary losses will, in some measure, be met ulti mately by the insurance offices. The Sun, Alliance, and County are, it is believed, the companies most largely in terested. DEATH FROM STARVATION.—An inquest was held on Saturday evening at the Lord Wellington Tavern, Three Colt-street, Stepney, before Mr. Walthew, deputy-coroner for East Middlesex, on the body of a child named Edmund Altharn, aged 3 years. The mother of the deceased stated that her husband was a house-painter, living at 27, Alpha place, and in consequence of his not having had any em ployment during the winter the whole family bad been in a state of the most abject poverty. They had often been ' many days without food. On Sunday evening, the 6tb, her youngest child appeared to be very ill, and she took him to a doctor, who administered medicine, but without avail, as he died next morning. He had never been ill be fore, and she attributed his death to starvation. The poor woman said it was hopeless to apply to the parish for re lief, as the authorities would not grant it unless the whole family went in the house, which heir prospects. Dr. Maskell, who m u a ld de h a av p e ruined all post mortera examination of the body, said the organs were all healthy but perfectly bloodless. The body was reduced to mere skin and bone, the stomach was quite empty, and there could be no doubt that death had resulted entirely from starvation. After some observations by the deputy-coroner on the melancholy facts of the case, the jury returned a verdict of " Died from absolute starvation?, On dit that the wife of a Yorkshire baronet, e minent for her personal attractions, has very recently left her husband's house, under the protection of a young gen tleman for whom she formed a passionate attachment whilst he was being entertained as a guest by her husband —Lqds Mercury.

TEE MOSQUITOES OF MARSEILLES. _ - As you are dropping off to sleep, there comes at you from the outer darkness a blast of a fiercely blown little trumpet, which vibrates in your ears like the note of a very shrill musical glass ; and, if you are at all familiar with the sound, drives sleep away at once. The first thing to be done is to shut the win dow, and in the course of this operation you damage your fingers with that combination of crank and lever employed to fasten windows in France. Your temper is thus dangerously roused, and with towel and lighted taper you go forth to battle determined to spare neither age nor sex. In the blindness of your wrath you murder a couple of innocent sleeping flies, and smash a late spider who is hurrying home to bed up the wall ; but of the enemy you can see nothing. He is in ambush, however, watching you, for no sooner are you in bed and the candle out than he returns to the charge. Then you think of trying a stratagem, and letting him settle before you attack him. After a prolonged fantasia in some thing unusually sharp, the music comes to a sudden stop, and you prepare to steel out your hand for a match, when sting! goes his stiletto into the corner of your left eyelid, and instinctively you deal your self a thwack on the adjacent organ that for the moment produces the effect of a final burst of fire works at Cremorne. Surely you hit him that time you think ; but you didn't, and he comes down upon you again as soon as you are quiet ; and so with sorties and retreats and severe punishment about the face —and perhaps, if have mosquito curtains, a diversion created by setting fire to the house—the night drags on until at last, wearied out and fairly beaten off, you bid him bite his best, and fall into a dogged doze and dream that you are being pursued down very deep steps on account of the informality in your passport, by the whole French army, whimh somehow changes into a cloud of mosquitoes just as you are getting away. But the sorest trial comes with the morning light. The field of Waterloo on the morning of the 19th was not a more touching spectacle than that which yo e u y r el • glass presents ltstooo y hnglike a little sackou. Left eye n ear l y closed of currant a winkjelly,urrantx aed and rueful ; and forcing you forehead toreg allardn ature with over bumps like the crust of a pigeon-pie or the surface of a common where the moles have been burrowing. Ndy, more than this. There are yet other woes in store for you ; for is there not an unusual feeling about the tip ofyour nose? Surely the accursed insect cannot have violated the sanctity of that sacred feature ? And yet, now that you COlll6 to look at it, there does seem to be something wrong; it is far redder than it has any right to be in a person of your strictly temperate habits, and viewed side way-, there is a decided bump on the end of it. This is the cruellest blow of all. Now, you think you could have been happy with a closed eye and a knobby forehead. What is even a black eye to a nose that is gradually assuming —for you do feel it swelling—the dimensions and colour of a tomato ? There is something rudely heroic about a black eye; it may have been received in the defence of beauty and virtue, but the expression of your unfortunate countenance is simply comical, and here you are condemned to go about for at least eight-and -forty hours (supposing you don't get bitten again) with bitterness in your heart, irritation in your skin, and a physiognomy as grotesque as a pantomime mask.—Frassr's.magazine for April. THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF OF INDIA Accustomed as India has been to commanders-in-chief of the type of Sir Wm. Gomm, thespectacle of Sir Hugh Rose laying aside all state and travelling courier fashion over 600 miles of as wild and barren a frontier as the world can pro duce, is too remarkable to be passed over without an attempt to chronicle his movements. It is well known that for many months he has intended to make himself personally ac quainted with our Trans •Indus border, and that a journey. from Peshawur to the confines of Scinde formed an impor tant part of his projected tour of inspection for the winter of 1861-62. It was always his intention, with reference to the known character of the country, to travel with a reduced escort and staff, but it was only after his arrival at Pesh awur, and after consultation with Brigadier-Gen. Chamber. lain, that the exact form in which the journey should be made was determined on. The simplicity with which it has been thus far conducted is remarkable. Not a single tent has accompanied his progress. Each day's journey, averag ing from 30 to 50 miles, has been performed on horseback, with an escort of a duffadar and five troopers of irregular ca valry. He has depended for shelter and refreshment each day on the scanty resources of the frontier officers, and the re sult has been tint he has seen more of frontier life and sys tem in a few days than if he had paraded through the dis tricts in ordinary state for as many weeks. Sir Hugh Rose, after completing his inspection of the troops and pasts in the Peshawur valley, rode over from Peshawur to Kohat,through the pass which formed the scene of Sir Chas. Napier's brief campaign in 1849-50. He arrived at Kohat on February 3, halted the next day, locked at the troops, consisting of a, battery of artillery, a regiment of cavalry, and three of in fantry—all of the Punjab Irregular force, examined the fort and everthing worth seeing, and on the 6th commenced his arduous ride to Mittuncote, accompanied by Brigadier- General Chamberlain, commanding the Punjab Irregular force, Major Roberts, V.C., Assistant Quartermaster-Gene ral, Lieut.-Col. Sarel, Assistant Adjutant-General of cavalry, one aide-de-camp and the staff officer of the Pun jab Irregular Force; six officers in all. The officers com manding the several stations and districts on the frontier had received orders to provide relays of cavalry or artillery horses, and of riding camels and mules from the regimen tal establishments, for the very limited baggage of the party. Seven camels and nine mules were found sufficient for the latter purpose. The frontier officers had also been warned to have either tents or houses according to circum stances prepared for the party at each resting place. Bahadoor Khan, a frontier post midway between Kohat and Bunnoo, 63 miles from the former and somewhat less from the latter station, was the first resting place. His Excel lency was contented with a small room in the keep of the fort occupied ordinarily by the officer commanding. The fort was built some years ago for the purpose of controlling the Bahadoor Khail salt mine, a great resort of the power ful Wuzeeree tribe, who act as carriers of sal thence to various parts of Affghanistan and the intermediate hill tribes, It stands on the very edge of the British territory, facing a remarkable natural fortress, in the shape of an enormous hill, called the Infidel's Castle, about 15 miles beyond the border, and sees in reverse the low line of hills which separates the Wuzeeree country from •the valley of Bunnoo. Through this range the Korrum finds its way, and issuing into the plain fertilises a portion of the Min noo Valley and thence passes on to join the Indus. OR the morning of the 6th the Commander-in-Chief rode through a dery difficult, and, until late years, dangerous defile, called the Soordak Pass, and thence on to Bunnoo over the Wuzeeree Tull, or pasture ground of the nomad() Wuzeeree tribe, for a full description of which we must refer our readers to the pages of Colonel Ed wardes's book. At Bunnoo he was entertained by Lieutenant -Colonel Green and officers of the station. On the 7th he halted and looked at the brigade, consisting of a battery of artillery, a regiment of cavalry, and two of infantry, all, as at Kohat, of the Punjab Irregular Force. On the Bth the Commander in-Chief rode on between 30 and 40 miles to Paharkheyl, village at the mouth of the Bhaim pass which leads through the low range of hills dividing Bunnoo and Murwut from the plains of the Deraj at, a defile which has only lately been. reclaimed from being utterly dangerous and impassable without strong es cor t.

On the 12th be sa w the Brigade, consisting of a Battery of Artil lery, a detachment of the 51st Light Infantry and two in fantry regiments of the Punjab Irregular Force. The evening was devoted to inspecting the small fort which con tains the magazine from which all the troops on the fron tier south of Kohat are supplied. On the morning of the 13th the detachment of the 51st Light Infantry was put through a searching inspection, and, this done, the Comman der-in-Chief galloped off to look at a bund or dam in course of construction six miles above the station, which, it is hoped, will divert the stream of the Indus to the oppo site bank, and thus save the town from destruction, which last altumn appeared imminent. In the afternoon a grand durbar was held, and 170 individuals of various rank and degree were presented to his Excellency. On the 14th, the Commander-in-Chief rode out 38 miles to Drabund, a vil lage on the extreme frontier, opposite the pass of the same name, and facing the grand mountain of the Soolyman Ismailrat in nge called " Solomon's throne." Here he passed the nig h few small tents which had been sent out from De ra Khan for his accommodation. O n the 15th he rode along the frontier road to Vehowa, a small outpost 44 miles below Drabund, and again passed the night in a ca m p _ _ex tem Po- H e ed for the purpose. O n the 16th he rode on to ungrota. 30 miles, and accordi ng t o the last accounts was tM o proceed thence to Dera Ghazee Khan and Mittuncote , whence h e will maks his w a y to Mooltan and rejoin his camp at Pero zepore or Umballa. His tour thus far has not merely gratified a laudable cariosity, but may be productive of tangible good.— Friend of India. in suit ons rere and 3 of: inty lem.
