" The Use and the Abuse of the Turkish Bath.—A very useful pamphlet has been peblished by Dr. Culverwell, the proprietor of the Turkish Baths in the neighbourhood of the Post-office, which presents to the uninitiated a mass of inte resting information, while those who have already encouraged this new system will derive additional advantage if they observe some of the practical regulations which the writer endeavours to enforce."—Herald and Standard, N0v.12, 1861. " The l'ost-office Turkish Baths, 19, St. Martin's-le-Grand. —Dr. Culverwell has already established the reputation of an able physician ; he has now proved himself to be a worthy philanthropist, in as far as he has established, in the heart of the City, an institution that more nearly than any disco very of monern days, goes nearer the abolition of the practice of physic, than any,proposition or invention yet established, the Turkish Bath. . . Our object being merely to direct the attention of our City readers to the fact that they possess one of the best set of baths, at 19, St. Martin's-le-Grand, which the country can produce; perfect in all its appliances, and most admirable in effect. Dr. Culverwell has fitted up his baths with a degree of elegance, luxury, and refinement, which, considering the space at his disposal, is truly sur prising, while everything that taste or delicacy could desire has been obtained to add to the comfort and luxury of the visitor. . . We may justly say that if a man ever feels himself regenerated and new made, it is oncoming out of Turkish Math."—Era, Oct. 13. 1861.

The measures of the new Ministry and the re-as sembling of the Parliament are the only matters of interest. We quote the following from the Age : " Our last European summary left the new Minis try re-elected by their constituents, and awaiting the re-assembling of Parliament after their holidays. " On the first day of the sittings the Treasurer, Mr. Haines, gave the usual notice preparatory to the financial statement, and by consent the second reading of the Land Bill was postponed until after the discussion on the budget. • Accordingly, on the evening of Friday, Jan. 17, Mr. Haines submitted the financial policy of the new Government to the house. He began by the announcement that there was a deficit in the revenue of the preVious year of £120,000. He proved by statistics that since the beginning of 1857 the revenue had ' fallen short of the estimated amount, and of the expenditure, and that the deficiency had been yearly made up from a surplus of £600,000 which had accrued in previous years. The total expenditure , for 1861 had been £3,193,448, and the income £3,073,447. The esti mated expenditure for the ensuing year was £3,106,496. The Treasurer' then proceeded to de tailthe items and contrast the estimates of the Go vernment with those of their predecessorte . The late Government had been content with an expenditure of £3,027,45.5, and the Treasurer proceeded to show why it was necessary to exceed their estimates. In the first place, it was proposed to increase the cost of the civil service by an addition to the rate of salary paid to the higher classes of employes, espe cially the heads of departments, whom the late Go vernment considered sufficiently remunerated with incomes averaging £9OO per annum. In the face of the deficit it was proposed to increase what is re garded as an intolerable burden on the country. The next proposition was the reduction of the ap propriation for roads and bridges by £50,000, and the increase of the vote for immigration by £70,000, making in all £120,000. The house had already, on one occasion, pronounced in favour of the reduc tion of the gold export duty by one shilling per ounce, but the Government declared their inability to adopt the resolutions, which had, however, been arrived at before their assumption of office. They did not regard the export duty as impolitic or oppressive, but, as a concession, would agree to a reduction of 6d. per ounce after the Ist of July. The proposal of the late Government was to reduce the tax to is, 6d. per ounce from the commencement of the current year. The house was somewhat taken by surprise by the statement that as the estimated revenue only exceeded the expenditure by £B,OOO, it would be impossible to provide for the liquidation of the deficit otherwise than from savings which might accrue in the disbursement of the revenue. 'Taken in connection with a proposition to increase the cost of the Civil Service by £36,000, this mode of dealing with the deficiency excited considerable disapprobation., Turning to the revenue, the Trea surer announced that the Government proposed to levy new customs duties to the extent of £BO,OOO, and a wharfage rate, under the name of a registra tion tax, to produce £50,000. It was likewise pro posed to sell public lands sufficient to realise £490,000, or £90,000 more than was contemplated by their predecessors. The articles selected for the imposition of customs duties were those which had attracted the attention of the late Government. A tax of 3d. per pound was to be placed on sheepwash tobacco, 2s. per cwt. on rice. 6d. per bushel on malt, 2d. per lb. on hops, 10s. per cwt. on dried fruits and preserves, and an extra duty of ls. per gallon on wine, and ls. per lb. on cigars. All these articles had been chosen by the late Government, and the difference between the two tariffs consisted only in the amount proposed to be raised. The former Ministry asked for £150,000 from customs, and ac cordingly included a variety of other goods in their schedule, on the most of which ad valorem duties were to be levied. As far as the scheme of Mr. Haines went it was the same as that of his predeces sor ; but the wharfage rate, or registration tax, was intended to apply to exports as well as to im ports, and was to be at the rate of 2d- per package or unit of entry. The budget was received through out the country with general dissatisfaction. The best friends of the Government could say nothing in its favour, and maintained silence. In point of fact, it was so nearly identical as regards taxation with the much condemned scheme of the late ministry that it could not be supported with any show of consistency, while the manner in which it was proposed to deal with the deficit and the in crease of the civil service expenditure excited wide spread disapprobation. ternational treaties, as well as being intrinsically suicidal and unjust, was accepted mainly on the ground of its having been passed by the repre sentatives of the people. Although on every occasion when their privileges were called in question the nominees have asserted their rights as a co-ordinate branch of the legislature, the character of their appointments has undoubtedly operated to induce their agsent to measures sent up to them from the assembly which they would," have felt themselves justified in rejecting if they had held their seats directly by the will of the people. The proceedings; of the new Council have cons equently been marked by a ser i es o f di g nifi e d concessions t othe h popular mill as expressed by the Assembly, accompanied by firm pro tests measures they considered it their against w theh ewere duty to pass.. The reconstruction of the Council on an elective basis will necessarily command for it a position of greater independence ; and on that account, and also because of the manner in which the present Government have shown themselves prepared to use their power of nomination, the satis factory settlement of the upper house question is felt to be the more extremely urgent. Besides the Land Act and 'the Chinese Regulations Acts mea sures have been passed this session for the regula tion of the gold-fields, for the consolidation of the ettaaministration of the police force, foio the -heti insolvent laws, and for the revision of the licensing arrangements. All these measures were originated in the Assembly, and received few and unimportant alterations whfiti passing through the Council. "Parliament stands prorogued, as a matter of form, to the 20th of next month. A resolution having been carried in the Assembly that the legis lature should in future be called together not later than the first week in May, it is h ope d t h at t h e sessions will be hereafter shorter than they have hi lothecrtose of thebeen, year."andthat they will terminate before the THE ALL .ENGLAND ELEVEN IN A USTRALIA. The Melbourne Age gives a long account of the reception and play of the celebrated English Eleven in the capital of Victoria, from which we extract the following The Eleven arrived on the 24th of December, the reception accorded them was of a semi-public character. Upon the Great Britain e , and E. Stephenson, anchoring in the Bay a committee appointed by the Aelbouthraaet Eleven, cricketers proceeded on board. They found Melbourne nam ely, Messrs. H. H . Stephen son, Bennett, Caffyn, Griffith, H earn , Iddi son , Lawrence, tephenso Mortlock, n , had all ar rived and Arrangements had been ma de that the first match should take place upon Swell hearty. New Year's-day and the three following days, and should be between the Eleven and twenty-two Melbourne players. Mr. H. H. Stephenson, however, objected to giving such long odds at the outset, and alleged that his men had not recovered from the effects of the voyage. After some discussion, the Melbourne cricketers gave way, and only eighteen players were pitted against the Eleven. From the interest manifested, a large attendance of spectators was anticipated, and every accommodation was provided to enable the match to pass off pleasantly. A grand stand, forming an arc of 700 feet and capable of seating 5,000 people, was erected, and the ground was covered with refreshment booths. The weather was beautifully fine, and the match proved a complete success. The attendance of the public was enormous. The match proved an easy victory for the English champions. To some extent they were favoured by fortune, but it was evident that the colonial team was overmatched. The following is the list of the players engaged : All England Eleven.— Stephenson (cap tain), G. Bennett, W. Caffin, G:Griffith, T. Hearn, R. Iddison, C. Lawrence, W. Mortlock, W. Mudie, T. Sewell, E. Stephenson. Umpire—G. Wells. Melbourne Eighteen.—G. Marshall (captain), J. Bryant, B. Butterworth, J. Conway, S. Cosstick, G. Elliott, S. Hopkinson, J. Huddleston, C. Mace, C. Makinson, T. Morres, H. O'Mullane, S. S. Rennie, D. Sweeney, J. Stewart, J. B. Thompson, R. W. Wardill, T. F. Wray. Umpire—J. Smith. The Melbourne Eighteen were the first to go to the wickets, and their play was considered admir able, for though their wily and practised opponents enticed some of the best men out, 117 runs were secured. Marshall with 27, J. B. Thompson with 17, rind was 16, were the highest scorers. Caffyn at first, hut was not very n Sweeney pu with i bowl th successful, and the wickets were taken by Bennett and Griffith. Upon the Eleven going to the wickets it soon became evident that they bad mastered their opponents' bowling. The display of batting was perfect, and it took two days to complete the innings. Caffyn scored '79, Griffith 61; E. Stepen son, 34 ; Iddison, 31 ; Mudie, 22 ; Lawrence, 20 ; Mortlock (not out), 11; Hearn, 8 ; Sewell, 3 ; and H. H. Stephenson, 2 ; the total being 305. In their second innings the Melbourne Eighteen scored but 92. At the commencement it appeared as if the colonial players were about to rival the All England score. For the first wicket 37 runs were obtained, but afterwards a strange sort of fatality attended the efforts of the batsmen. Eight of them were put out in less than half an hour, while the score was completely at a standstill. A stand was made by Wardill, Cosstick, Hopkinson, and Elliott, and through their exertions the score was somewhat brought up. Sewell, who was put on to bowl for the Eleven, proved himself very dangerous, as he took seven wickets for 21 runs. The feature of the innings, however, was the fielding of Iddison, who in one place or another took no less than four wickets. Upon the whole the Melbourne cricketer; though beaten in one innings by 95 runs, did not come off badly. Their great deficiency was in field ing. Both Caffyn and Griffiths were missed before they had scored much, and other mistakes of a like nature were far too frequent. Their inexperience as compared with such practised p la y ers, and their nervousness also contributed largely to their defeat. The brilliancy and finish of the general play of the Eleven has been highly commended, but now that their style is more known the Melbourne cricketers are very anxious for a second match, and confidently predict that they would be able to secure a different result. The playin g ground was pronounced by the Eleven to be equal to the best one in England, and this was one cause of their making so high a score. The succeeding match was between the Eleven and Twenty-two of the district of Beechworth. This game was only played for the amusement of the good people of the district , w ho we re anxious to see the champions of England in th e field, as it Ras Melbourne pin g with the Ele ven. I n f act , Clubs had b ea t en every known from the first that the Be echworth players awne Eleven re incapable ft he o f coping Twenty-two of the country districts it ever played against. No on e was su rprised, therefore, when the Eleven, having scor ed 26 4 in their first innings, disposed of the Beechworth Twenty•two for 20 runs in the first , and 56 in the second innings, and thus woo the game by the one i nn i ngs an d 188 runs. The Two champion Eleve ns t h en com bi ne d, s and d this entered Eleven . encounter, the lists bli Public fo r together it against the attentionAll-Eng w a believed that thewas strongly fixed upon au allies would together malie an effectual stand. Nor were these expectations ill-founded, for the efforts of the colonial players were rewarded with a gratify ing amount of success. The Victorian team, it may be mentioned, was weakened by the with drawal of two of its original members, who could not make arrangements to play, and in the second innings the allies were deprived of the services of one of their crack batsmen, Kettle, who had obtained the highest score in the first innings. He was dis abled by a fast ball from Caffyn when playing very steadily. In their first innings the Twenty-two scored 1.53, and by steady fielding and good bowling they disposed of the Eleven for 110 runs, thus ob taining innjority of 43. in their second innings, 17, 1862, the Twenty-two l ea ving the obtained 144 runs, All-England Eleven 188 to get to win. The game, however, could not be played out. At first the match had been arranged to be a three days' affair, but a heavy rain storm prevented it being commenced upon the first day, and other arrangements would not permit of its being carried into the following week. Much regret has been expressed at the cir cumstance, as it was evident that the colonial cricketers had a good chance of retrieving their former defeat. It is a matter for congratulation, however, that the Twenty-two won in the first innings, as that is a feat which was never accom plished by the Americans. Upon the 20th, 21st, and 22d Jan., the Eleven played a match at Geelong with Twenty-two of the district. Here again they were victorious. The Geelong players scored 111 and 80, and the Eleven obtaing 128 runs in their first innings, won the match with nine wickets to fall in the second. Since this match they have sailed for Sydney, where they are to play 22 of the sister colony. THE GOLD FIELDS. Our mining progress for the past month has been marked by no incident calling for special notice. No fresh leads of great importance have been opened, but on each of our gold-fields work has been steadily proceeded with, generally with remunerative results, and our auriferous treasures continuo to be gradually developed, and their wealth and permanence satisfactorily established. The accounts from the New Zealand gold-field have of late not been so favourable. No fresh diggings have been opened, and the advices last received from there show that unless some deposits are speedily discovered there will be a great falling off in the quantity of geld produced and very little for the miners to do, since those diggings which were first found out have been wholly occupied for some time past, and are to a great extent worked out. Notwithstanding this fact, however, a considerable number of our miners have left for there during the past month, under the belief that other and rich deposits must exist in a country where such good finds have already been made. Time alone can prove how far they aro right in their anticipations. The diminution of the number of miners engaged upon our own gold. fields has, of course, had the effect of reducing the yield. The escort returns for the four years ending January 17, 1862, show a deficiency of 21,639 ounces as compared with the returns for the period ending the same date in 1861, the amount being in 1861, 154,624 ounces; and in 1862, 132,985 ounces. The escort returns for 1860 and 1861 show a deficiency on behalf of the latter year of 163,166 ounces. In lookiug at the statement, however, it must be borne in mind that the quantity of gold brought to Melbourne by pri vate hand during the past year is greatly in excess of that ever conveyed in a like manner in any for year, so that the deficiency in the yield is more ap parent than real. This will partly be shown by a comparison of the amount of gold exported in the years 1.860 and 1861. In 1860 the quantity was 2128,479 ounces, and in 1861 2,072,359 ounces, thus showing a comparative deficiency of only 56,120 ounces. NEW SOUTH WALES. We extract the following from the Sydney Herald of Jan. 21 : " Parliament was prorogued yesterday by his Excellency Sir John Young, after an unusually short session of four months and a half. Short as the session was the congratulations of the governor upon the successful result of the labours of the two houses were quite appropriate, as a larger number of important measures have been passed within that period than during any previous session. The Land Bills were within a few days after Parliament re assembled passed rapidly through the lower house with scarcely a single alteration, and were without a ny material emendations agreed to by the Council; the new nominees, though disapproving of the government land policy, considering that under the circumstances of the case, they were to some extent bound to endorse the proceedings of the other branch of the legislature. A similar view was taken by the Council with regard to the bill for x ; that measure, though stronglyelding the reprobatedChmse aesbeing at variance with in. secluding THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION. The important question regarding the principal details of the opening ceremony of the International Exhibition and of the distinguished personages who are to take part on that occasion will, in a few days, be entirely arranged. There was great disappoint ment felt among the exhibitors when it became known that the Prince of Wales would not be pre sent to inaugurate with fitting splendour and ceremony this great national event, and even to this day the great majority still cling to the hope that if an earnest expression of their wishes on this subject were made to her Majesty her permission would be given for the return of the Prince in time for the Ist of May. That some such step will be taken in the matter by the exhibitors there is very little doubt, though with what success it is, of course, impossible to foresee. One thing, however, is very certain, the announcement that her Majesty had given her sanction to the return of the Prince to preside at the opening would give unbounded satisfaction, not alone to the exhibitors, but to all concerned in the success of the Exhibition. The other arrangements for the Ist of May, as far as they have yet been considered, are to the effect that her Majesty will issue a Royal Commission to the Duke of Cambridge, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Earl of Derby, Viscount Palmerston, and the Lord Chancellor, em powering them to open the building in her name, and to invite foreign Sovereigns to be present at the ceremony. The latter provision is a most im portant one as regards the eclat of the occasion. It seems to be generally believed among those most likely to be well-informed on such matters that the Emperor of the French will pay one visit to London this year, for the purpose of seeing the Exhibition, to the magnificence of which his own subjects have contributed so largely ; and it seems not unreason able to expect that on the invitation of the Royal Commissioners his Imperial Majesty might be in duced to make this visit coincide with the period fixed for the opening. The English people, we are sure, would appreciate so high and graceful a com pliment at its fullest value. The other illustrious foreign personages will most probably be the King of the Belgians, with the Crown Prince and Prin cess Royal of Prussia, Prince Louis of Hesse, &c. At present the Commissioners are undecided whether or not there will be any necessity for the erection of unreserved seats on this occasion. We venture to think that such an arrangement would be in the highest degree desirable. If the Emperor of the French and other representatives of foreign Royalty honour the occasion with their presence, there are certain to be at least 30,000 visitors present, and to leave them to find out what places they can, inconveniently overcrowding some parts, while others are left comparatively empty, would be to invite such a scene of confusion as would go far to spoil the whole effect. If reserved seats are decided on we believe there is no intention to charge for them, but to give admission to the season ticket-holders according to the order of priority in which the tickets were purchased. Whatever other adjuncts may give eclat to the opening ceremony, there is no doubt but that the musical programme alone will be sufficient to insure a large attendance and a marked success. Rossini, Meyerbeer, Verdi, and Auber have each composed special marches and anthems for this occasion, and which it is said, when fitly performed, as they will be on the Ist of May by a powerful orchestra and chorus, will have a most grand and impressive effect. The orchestra is to be erected under the eastern dome to accommodate 300 instrumentalists and 1,000 vocalists, all under the direction of Mr. Costa. While speaking of this orchestra, we may mention that it is a pity the designs, which are finished, are not now given to the contractors to execute. It seems to be quite forgotten that a work which ought to take ten days, and has to be done in five days, costs nearly double what it otherwise would ; and it is hardly fair to the contractors, who have behaved with such spirit and liberality, to put off everything to the last moment, and so add both to their anxiety and expense. We repeatedly called attention dur ing the winter to the backwardness shown by the Commissioners in getting ready the western annexe for machinery in motion, and the works here were so long deferred that it is now more than doubtful if it can be even in a tolerable state of readiness by the Ist of May, and this procrastination has cost the con tractors at least £5,000 more than it need have done if they had been allowed to proceed with the annexe in good time and at their leisure. This ought not to occur with the plans for the erection of the orches tra. This orchestra is to be removed by the con tractors within a fortnight after the opening of the building ; but we venture to think that a slight im provement might be made in this arrangement which would give very general satisfaction, and need not delay the final removal of the structure by many hours. It is admitted on all sides that the musical portion of the opening ceremony will be very grand indeed. But it is also well known that the building itself, however well suited for Exhibition purposes, is necessarily from this fact alone very ill adapted for conducting sound. Broken up on every side into courts and counter spaces, filled with goods, and hung with tapestries, it is difficult to imagine how an audience of 25,000 visitors at the opening ceremony can be so arranged round the orchestra as to allow even 10,000 to hear the music with proper effect. The opening will take place on a Thursday; why should not the orchestra be allowed to remain, and a repetition of the musical programme take place on the Friday and Saturday following ? These three days would enable the whole body of season ticket holders to hear the music if they were so inclined, as there is no doubt they would be, and this would in itself be an attraction which would amply justify the erection of the intended orchestra. The French are still rapidly enclosing their Court with the wooden partitions which are now so loudly complained of on all sides. 'rho effect which this enclosure will produce in the interior will be precisely the same as if a gigantic wooden box, occupying one quarter of the building, and placed in the best part, were built up from the floor to the roof. If other Courts follow this example, as there is every reason to believe they will if the French are allowed to persist, the whole interior will be a mere labyrinth of wooden partitions, and it will literally be necessary to erect hand-posts to show the public what routes they must follow to reach such and such Courts and classes of manufactures. The Belgians are very busy preparing to shut them selves in at least as high as the gallery floors, and the Austrian workmen are similarly engaged. It is singular that foreign Governments, usually so economical in other matters, should go to the great expense of sending over gangs of workmen to do a few simple jobs in carpentering which could be done at a tithe of the cost by the contractors on the ‘01)°t• 4 Apparently, the I'rench Commission seem to have plucm..... STAMPED ....sd; allotted to French exhibitors very much more space than at the first glance might have appeared pos sible to get even out of the large Court placed at their disposal. They have not only walled them. selves in as we have said to get hanging space, but they have divided and subdivided the 25ft. bays with pnrtitions, in order still further to eke out every inehof verticalspace their ingenuity can sug gest. If all these ceat lines of partitions are pro perly hung With goods, fig it is said they will be, then decidedly the contents of the French Court alene will be almost equal to the contents of half the building. As it turns cut, they can find no room in their Court for the two fine fountains they have brought over, one of marble and one of bronze, nor can space be found for them in the building elsewhere. They are, therefore, to be erected in the Horticultural Gardens, and some pumping machines in the western annexe will supply them with water through two 10-inch pipes, two 12-inch pipes being laid to take the water back again, so that it can be used over and over again. We hope that these handsome ornaments will not be erected for this occasion only, but that the Council of the society will make an effort to purchase them entirely. The task of erecting and laying the pipes for these beautiful fountains should be commenced "-hod delay, otherwise there will be excavations and foundation work going on when the turf of the lawns is greenest, and,.iful gardens are looking their best, in . thelTEMMinig: - The western annexe is progressing rapidly ; that on the eastern side is much behindhand, and it seems impossible that it can be finished in time for the opening, Classes 1,2, 3,. and 4, for mining and mining materials, for chemistry, food, raw, materials, are placed in this eastern annexe, which' some of the exhibitors imagine to be a bad posi tion. Nothing can be more erroneous than this idea. If it were to be always what it seems now—a mere adjunct to the main building— exhibitors might complain ; but there is to be an entrance made at the northern end, which will be in almost direct communication with the new road across Hyde Park, so that this annexe will become a main thoroughfare into the building for all the western and north-western visitors. It is, in truth, as favourable a position for exhibi. tion as any afforded by the north-eastern transept, with which it is immediately connected. Two beautiful trophies, one of food and one of raw mate rials, are to be erected in this annexe, the contents of which will form one of the most interesting por tions of the Exhibition. The work of hanging the pictures in the English gallery is going on very fast under the judicious management and care of Mr. Redgrave and Mr. Creswick. While this work is in progress all visitors, no matter what their rank, or even their position in connection with the Exhibition itself, are excluded as rigidly as at the Royal Academy when the pictures are being hung there. Not many of the pictures have yet been placed, and they are chiefly the works of Sir Joshua Reynolds. All his great masterpieces are here,including the celebrated I , Mother and Child," and the portrait of the famous and lovely Georgina, Duchess of Devonshire, of whose wit and beauty we have heard so much, and who, if as witty as she is here drawn beautiful, must indeed have justified the praise bestowed on this great toast of the Whigs. Now that the floor, though the light is so g ood that b y g i ving w b t e oi i l n lb f , b l p a ee u rh n fue e g n , tg t . haeb A s aloi v g e h t 2r f uo r l o ef m e, evt t e l r i f e yr ofmew t gallerythe the poc ft pictures uirsefound are them a little outward inclination they could be well seen even at the top of the wall. Such judgment and care, however, are being used in placing the works that when the gallery is open to the public we think Mr, Redgrave will be found to have given satisfaction even to that most difficult body to please—the artists themselves. The foreign Commissioners have not yet commenced hanging their works, though they are expected to do so in the course of this week, and before this day month all will be in readiness here for opening. As this work progresses along the walls the effect of the subdued decorative designs and colours adopted by Mr. Crace come out admirably. The domes are finished so far as regards their construe- tion and decoration, but a good many panes of glass have still to be put in the western dome. By an ingenious arrangeme n t, h owever , this can be done from the outside, so that scaf folding is coming down in great masses day by day. The monstrous travelling scaffold used in painting the nave roof, &c. , is a lso bein g sawn up , and tum bled down headlong. Still, in spite of all the hurry and all the progress made, an immense amount of work remains to be done, and one almost desponds on looking round the immense empty interior, and reflecting it has all to be completed, filled, arranged, and opened in little more than six weeks from the present date. Some progress in works which it will be difficult hereafter to hasten might be made if the entrance from the Cromwell-road were closed as soon as possible against carts entering with goods. Until this is done the wide thoroughfare now across the nave cannot be floored, nor the lath and plaster screen under the entrance begun, nor the brick arches completed over where the turnstiles are to be erected. If this entrance were soon closed all these works might be proceeded with, and the goods left to come in through the apertures which have already been broken in the walls under the windows of the picture galleries for that purpose. Any cases too bulky to pass through these openings (and there are sure to be some) could easily be taken round to the I I western annexe and brought up along the tramway for the machinery in motion to the very centre of the interior. The goods that have arrived since our last notice have, with the exception of a few packages from Birmingham, been almost all foreign. The back wardness of Englishexhibitors in sending their goods is giving cause for real anxiety, and is certain, as the time for the opening approaches, to produce serious annoyance and confusion. Almost one-third of the foreign goods are already in the building, or will be in the course of a few days ; yet all the packages that have been received from England or the Colonies , would scarcely fill a very ordinary sized room. There are some classes and sub-classes which it is known will not be sent till the last moment, such as plate and valuable jewels, decorative furniture, or rare chymical crystals, all of which, especially the two latter, are liable to injury from the dampness in the building, or, as in the case of crystals, from the vibration going on around. These, however, aro rare exceptions, and in no way refer to the great bulk of raw and manufactured materials which ought long since to have been delivered and fairly arranged, or at least deposited on their counters by this time. We may warn English exhibitors that their delay is attracting the serious attention oft he Commissioners, and that it will almost certainly result in their strictly adhering to their rule, that nothing will be received into the building after the 31st of this month. Such a restriction, for the rea sons we have already given, would most probably only punish the most innocent for the fault that is now common to all. On Friday some very handsome cases came in from Messrs. Elkington , who, it is said, will make a most superb display on this occasion, an ll also pave d wtroho, in addition to their fine court, wi atrophy in the nave. The cases of the great jewellers, Messrs. Hunt and Itoskell and Messrs. Garrard, were also delivere d, but Nve are sorry to say th at beyond this the consignments of English goods were few and unimp ortant. Both the French and E ng li s h refreshment co ntractors are very busy, and th e i r arrangemen ts arc advancing well towards comple tion. BENSON'S WATCHES AND CLOCKS..—" Perfection of mechanism.

Brownrigg's expressions was at once communicated to Major Jones by Captain Roger Palmer, who has been present in court as a spectator during the greater part of the proceedings. The result was according to the Freeman's Journal) an immediate demand by Major Jones, through Capt. Palmer, for a withdrawal of the offensive words and the impu tation which they conveyed. Major Jones is, in fact, understood to have intimated his readiness to throw up his commission, so es to be freed from the restrictions which one of the recent articles of war impose on military men as to the mode of obtaining redress for personal affronts, in case his demand was not at once complied with. A conference teok place in the Barrack-square, between the principalo and their friends (Col. Stewart, of the 86th Regi ment, acting for Col. Brownrigg), and after a few moments Col. Brownrigg retired, and presently returned with the written apology which appears in oar report, and which after some alterations demanded by Capt. Palmer had been made in it, was approved of and accepted by Major Jones and his "friend." The following is the extract referred to:— The examination of the witnesses for the pri soner on the rebutting case having closed, Capt. Robertson applied for an adjournment of the proceedings until Monday, in order to enable him to prepare his observations. Col. Brownrigg thought it right to state that he intended, with the permission of the court, to produce evidence to prove the incorrectness of that portion of Major Jones's testimony which had reference to his return from the archery meeting on July 6, 1861. President—Do you mean to impugn the credi bility of Major Jones? Colonel Brownrigg—Most distinctly. The President suggested that ample opportu nity had been afforded in the original case of giving evidence on the point in question, and that it had not been availed of. Col. Brownrigg had also undertaken to impeach the testimony of Lieut. IRintoul, and he had brought forward no evidence to that purport. Col. Brownrigg submitted that he had done so in respect, at least, of one circumstance. President—Well, the evidence which you now propose to give is to be confined to one single cir cumstance—the impugning of Major Jones's credi bility. Col. Brownrigg—Most undoubtedly. President—You undertake to produce evidence to the court to show that he has been incorrect in his statement ? Colonel Brownrigg—Certainly ; I undertake to prove that, in what he has stated in regard to his return from the archery meeting on the 6th July, 1861, he told an untruth. nt thedt h o ep n re r oo e su s er u ct m u ht i oa n rd g a, de cided The cou rt, hreesard eenv was tid ae h nn e nc r oe e u fromon c e e a d r e b d ot h , t h a a t e re Te p dh r et i o s P oner on the point in question, but that they should be confined to that point alone. Colonel Brownrigg then said—General Gordon, since the court has been closed it has been sug gested to me that, in an answer which I just made to a question from the President as to whether I intended to impugn the testimony of Major Jones, I stated that I did so in the broad and general ac ceptation of the term. I have no hesitation in saying that this was not in the least my intention, and that I meant nothing more than that Major Jones had given, unintentionally doubtless, an inac curate statement, and that I had witnesses to show he was in error ; and I withdraw the word " untrue" in rference to Major Jones's evidence in any man ner, e having been informed that I made use of such a word. President—Let that explanation be put after the decision of the court. The evidence was then proceeded with.
