Then, With regard to that other decision affecting Mrs. Davies, whose name also has been ordered to be removed from the list of contribu tories,-andthe-injunetion which restrained her from pursuingherjudgisient against the association to be dissolved-what do the general depositors under stand to be the, effect of that decision? Mrs. Vavies, if we are tact mistaken, placed her money in the De posit Bank on iipeeial agreement, at a fixed rate of interest,. portions of which ' deposit she was per.. mitten to draw out, without being required to com ply with the published conditions of the association in respect of such Withdrawal by giving six months' notice of her intention. On these two grounds the Lords Justices have held that 'Mrs. Davies was neither a partner in ,the profits . nor a member of the association. But are the `general depositors included- within that decision ? We believe not. The bare possibility of such doubts, however, after so much time has been wasted and so much expense incurred, induces us to invite - the attention of the commercial public to the reality of the blot in in stitutions which can admit them. It is undeniable that, in the present instance, additional calamity has been thereby heaped upon . those who were ex pecting speedy justice and certain retribution against the nest of adventurers who had despoiled them, alas ! only to find the latter escaping one after another, mainly through the inefficiency of such clumsy machinery. In the columns of a leading contemporary we observe it asserted that the decision of the Lords Justices in Mrs: Davies' case has con verted all the depositors—previously held by the Master of the Rolls to be members—into creditors of the association. For the reasons above assigned we doubt the accuracy of our contemporary; nor are wo helped by the Maste r of the Rolls, who has recently signified his intention to cancel his previous orders with regent' to individual " co ntributories." How, then, is this fresh point to be settled? Coma; forth now;seme affluent depositor, with pockets well lined with superfr u bus cash, and resolved upon securing juaticc..sgainst. scheming knavery ; retain forthwith some learned gentleman, deep as mediaeval lore and legal horse-hair; let him be instructed by same other gentleman deep in nothing save only when pensively musing on " number one ;" and together let them range these courts of equity, cul ling choicest variety of decisions from each for a true solution of this riddle, so that your drooping fellow-dupes, making up their minds gradually to trouble themselves no more about a return of their hard earned aeposits, may compose themselves to sleep—many of them, indeed, to those peaceful slumbers, whence directors of noble or of gentle blood can no more inveigle confiding victims, and where weary clients are for ever at rest. THE VOLUNTEERS. GRAND VOLUNTEER DISPLAY IN THE REGENT'S PARK. A volunteer display, rivalling in extent and vbril liancy any that have taken place in the Regent's hitherto, with the exception of the field- day which was held there about two years since, was out with complete success on Saturday ev 1 ca rious The season of the annual inspection of the metropolitan corps being near at hand h a s probably tto ass with induced renewed exertion on their,praurrde And the credit the inspection of Colonel 31 1 y fICCOUritt in other inspecting officers; and urninaber o-fvolunteers cearr.niega, great measure,for the unusualTnhe weather. was not in the park on Saturdabye.d desired, a strong wind exactly "all that could blowing all the even.tiliansgya' t ding this, several thou by rain ; but, many of whom accompanied the naccompanied at intervals sands of spectatorh e m t a h r c h g , r a o s u s e n m a b n l e e d a r i nGtlhoeu ester k . The first corps on e . Gate was the London Scottish Rifles. They were accompanied by Hon. Lord E N lch ex o. t e C am a their brass band and bagpipes, and various corps on t were under the command of their gallant colonel, (London and Westminster) Rifles; the Mid dlesexPeLtPheag4e6wthasalso29th (North) Middlesex, under the command of p th re e s ß en i t gh on t Colonel Whitehead (late of the Victoria Rifles); the 19th Middlesex (Working Men's College) Rifles, Lieut.-Col. Bathurst and Major Hughes ; the 4th Tower Hamlets Rifles, and the 6th (North-East London) under Colonel Morey. The London and Westminster took ground near the Zoological Gar dens, the North Middlesex near the centre of the large open space, and the 19th Middlesex near Hai ford House. The 4th Tower Hamlets and 6th (North• East London),who did not arrive till nearly half-past seven o'clock, took up the ground vacated by the London Scottish. The movements com menced about six o'clock by the last-named corps, who, after a few preliminary movements in the , advanced stage of battalion drill, threw out skir mishers towards the enclosure, the skirmishers for the most part consisting of the kilted company, the. supports being in the rear. All the movements were steadily executed, but the members have yet a great deal to learn. The London and n e ; near ster also threw out a company for skirmish fir© was the Zoological Gardens. A well-susta ined after which kept up for fully a quarter of an hour, after the range of the skirmishers lay down out %f ed to be di field guns, which were supposed rushed to the rated at them, and the 1 , susoPme volley and com front and took their places.

The various corps left the ground shortly after nine o'clock, theywhenceed re were turned to their respective headVatert3 mi dismissed. FOURTH DEPARTMENT.-PUBLIC HEALTH. This department met in the Court of Queen's Bench, and was very well attended, amongst those present being—Dr Holland, Dr. W. Lewis, Mr. Itawlinson, Dr. Letheby, Dr Ellis, Dr. Lankester, Dr. Ballard, Dr. Simon, Miss Night ingale, Dr. Fs rre, Sir Joshua Jebb, &c. Mr. W. FAIRI3AIIIN, the president, in his opening address, said there was no department of social science of greater importance to a nation than the public health, and the development of measures calculated to confer this benefit could not be too highly appreciated by Governments, and those whose object was to promote and improve the physical as well as the moral condition of the people. In all ages and in all countries this duty had not escaped the notice of governors, philanthropists, and legislators ; and the ancient nations of Europe were from the first dawn of civilisation alive to the necessity of sanitary laws for the purpose o inculcating ablutions end cleanliness in. the houses of the people, and the towns and cities in which they dwelt. Since the commencement of the present century much had been done for the improvement of all classes, and now they were better housed, better fed, and better clothed, than at any former period ; and what were to their fore fathers luxuries, had to the present generation become necessaries of life. In water supply much had already been done for large and populous towns, but much had yet to be accomplished in extending its benefits to the smaller towns, and there was probably no gift so great, and none so conducive to health and cleanliness, as a copious and well-regulated supply of pure water. To every person it was a luxury, but to the working man and his family it was one of the greatest boons that could be conferred upon him; and now that every principal town in the kingdom had its watery' orks with a supply ranging from ten to thirty gallons per diem to each person, they might reason ably look forward to greatly extended comforts in the shape of cleanliness in the houses and persons of the in dustrial classes. The metropolis itself was probably worse off than many other towns ; but he had recently seen the outline of a gigantic project in preparation by Mr. Bateman, the engineer of the Manchester and Glas gow Loch Katrine Waterworks, to supply London from Wales by the construction of reservoirs and the formation of aqueducts on a scale far beyond any thing that ever was before accomplished in ancient or modern times. The scheme was not problematical, as he believed the engineer was prepared to show from actual surveys that 100,000,000 gallons per day could be delivered in London, and works constructed for the conveyance of double that quantity, for a sum not exceeding £7,000,000. To London that would not be a large sum if they considered the immense benefits it would confer on a population of nearly three millioes of souls, and that with a quality of pure soft water, which for washing purposes and other branches of domestic economy was calculated to effect a saving of £400,000 per annum. Next to water, an element which largely contributed to the public health was food, which was often depreciated and sometimes seriously injured by adulteration. The maintenance and preservation of the public health were dependent upon the {food they ate, and any one attempting to depreciate its value by com - pounds and adulteration was an enemy to his country and mankind. Other conditions besides good food and pure water entered into the catalogue of wants for the sustenance of life and the maintenance of vigorous health ; and those were that the people should be well housed and comfortably clad. It was essential that they should not only be covered from the inclemency of the weather, but that they should live in a pure atmosphere, neither too hot nor too cold, and free from noxious vapours and such compounds as carbonic acid gas, which vitiated the air breathed, engendering dis ease, and ultimately, by slow degrees, producing death. The subject of dwelling-houses was, therefore, ono of the greatest importance. The draining of land was beneficial in every way, as it improved the crops, improved health, and carried off the superfluous waters not required for the growth of plants. Many towns had no drains, but depended on the absorption of cesspools. That imper fect system had not unfrequently given rise to disease and epidemics, which a thorough system of drainage might have prevented. It was necessary that in all the large towns they should have thorough drainage, not only for the removal of noxious vapours, but for purification of the at mcsphere in places which engendered disease from exhala• tions. A well-devised system of thorough drainage of towns, concentrated in one general outlet communicating or rivers or the sea, was highly advantageous to the public health ; and the trans port of organic matter, diluted with water, through water taps and underground tunnels was one of the leading features of the improvement of the present day. A large quantity of water, which enter ed into the sewers and carried off the refuse, was destructive to its properties as a manure ; but he trusted the time was not far distant when they might calculate on a separation of the contents of sewers, and pre serve for the benefit of the agriculturist the greater portion of a valuable compost which on the present system was en tirely lost. Another impel.. ant question affected the consi deration of town drainage, and that was the pollution of rivers. It would be a great relief to many towns and the resi dents on the banks of rivers to have the waters pure and transparent, instead of a large black ditch coloured with indigo, coal, and tar, and almost every other abomination floating on its surface. Having referred to the metro politan drainage works in detail, he said this greatly enlarged system of drainage was of the first import ance to the health of the metropolis, and the large scale on which it was executed, and the means adopted for preventing the return of the sewage, afforded a guarantee for the purification of the Thames. He next referred to the noxious effects of chemical and alkali works which polluted the atmosphere into which they were discharged. The effects of those vapours might be seen by the rapid decay of vege table life within the reach of their influence, and their noxi ous character might be felt at a considerable distance from the spot where the manufacture was carried on; and although tall chimney s had mitigated the evils, yet he was of opinion that other means, by legislative enactment, were required. Ile next enlarged on the necessity of an improved system of warming and ventilating dwellings ; and he said it had been found that a full- grown man required at least 10 cubic feet of pure air per minute for respiration, but in close rooms, in order to preserve a healthy atmosphere, double that quantity was not too much, He might, he said, enlarge on other topics involving considerations in connection with the public health; but having occupied a good deal of time, it only remained for him to direct atten tion to the different subjects as classified and arranged in the programme for the consideration of the members of this department. In those would be found abundant matter for discussion; and confiding in the good sense of the meeting over which he had the honour to preside, he ventured to look forward to results calculated to improve the moral and physical condition of the community. Mr. G. GODWIN moved the thanks of the department be given to Mr. Fairbairn for his able and valuable address. Mr. BEN. SCOTT, chamberlain of the city of London, read a paper on the " Ancient Water Conduits and Modern Drinking Fountains of London," which at length explained the value of those means of preserving the health of the people. Mr. RAWLINSON said it would not in the present day do to rely on pumps or conduits for a supply of water, although the water of the Thames above Teddington Lock was becoming more impure every day. Mr. GODWIN condemned the inadequate supply of water in courts and alleys, where on Sundays they were often kept for 24 hours at a time without a drop of water. Mr. Bateman, Dr, Lankester, Dr. Holland, and other gentlemen having addressed the department, thanks were voted to Mr. Scott for his paper. tio D ns r. o L f E a T 3 n ie E d n i Y ea r l e o a in d c a e p r a o p f e H r ‘ e ‘ a O lt n h, t , h , e in ne w c h es ic s h ary he Q e n n a f l o ifi re c e ai the necessity of the person appointed devoting his whole time to his duties. Dr. WALLER LEWIS read a paper " On th.a Health, past and present, of the Working Classes of the General Post offite." After remarks upon it from Dr. Edward Smith, Dr. Milroy, Mr. James Heywood, Mr. E. Chadwick, Mr. Ack royd, Dr. Warren, end Mr. Bracebridge, and thanks given to Dr. Lewis fur his paper, The department then adjourned. The soiree given on Saturdsy evening by the asso ciation at the Houses of Parliament was attended by a brilliant assembly of ladies and gentlemen numbering more than three thousand. Beyond the usual routine of legisla tive labours tbid magnifient palace, with its countless chambers and endless corridors, has never been used for any other purpose, and this is the first occasion on which it has resounded with the voices of a festive throng and the strains of instrumental music. The company alighted in Now Palace-yard, where a capacious awning had been erected, and entering by the court-yard, formerly the site of the Star Chamber, passed through the cloisters, and on reaching the vestibule at the members' entrance to the House of Commons, were received by Lord Brougham and the Earl o f Sh aftesbury on behalf o f t h e counc il, an d th en dispersed themsel ves over th e b u ildi ng . The arrivals con tinued from half-past eight until past eleven. The interior of the lower house was first explored with much curiosity. The whole of the doors along the corridors being thrown open, there was an uninterrupted vista between the two houses, and from the Speaker's chair a good eye could readily see the woolsack in the far distance. The' votaries o f soia science nem took e, glance at Ward's hiatorieal ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB. A match of this club took place on Saturday. A most fashionable party, 300 strong, availed themselves of the Prince of Wales, which had been engaged by the club. The starters for the various matches were as under :-- SECOND CLASS VESSELS. Exceeding 20 and not exceeding 35 tons. Prizes :—First boat, a prize value £5O; second boat, ditto £2O. Yachts. Tons. Owners. Emmet queen 2B .... Capt. J. W. C. Whitefield. Phantom Vampire 2l .... Capt. J. E. Commerell, R.N. FOURTH CLASS VESSELS. Exceeding 6 and not exceeding 12 tons. First prize, value ; second £lO. Yachts. Tons. Owners. Octoroon Wasp Quiver Folly l2 .... W. L. Parry. Violet EXTRA MATCH. By yachts of any rig, that have nevet won a prize. First boat, a prize value £4O; second boat, £10; 20 tons and upwards. Yacht?. Tons. Owners. Oriole (cutter) Ellen (schooner).... 20 Mars (cutter) ...... 30 Violet (schooner) .. 32 The last named, which with the second-class started from Erith and sailed round the Nore and returned, were first started, and after a mile or two, the Violet, under a south west wind, proved herself a most powerful vessel by going ahead, which position she maintained, They came in at Erith as under : 11. M. S. Violet. ........... Oriole ... ._, . The others not timed. Violet received the first prize and Oriole second. The second and fourth classes started together ten minutes after the extra match. In both glasses there was some excellent sailing, particularly with the Emmet, Queen, and Folly, Octoroon and Quiver. The Emmet, however, came to grief just after rounding the Nore, her topsail being foul, and soon after she was disabled. The Phantom also carried away her bowsprit soon after starting. The little ones rounded at the Chapman Road, and so close were the first three that they were a ll" a top " of one another, as a by stander observed; arid at the finish of the match, the two winners, the Folly (Ist prize), and Octoroon (2d), came in as under : H. H. S. Folly Octoroon Quiver and Wasp close up. The large vessels wore round the Nore close to each other, 11 minutes separating all four. The Emmet then came to grief, as we have described, which gave the Queen, the nest one to her, the first prize in her class ; her time at Erith was 6h. 11m.; the Phantom, winner of the second prize in her class, coming in at 6h. 16m. 25 seconds. The prizes were afterwards presented by the noble Com modore, Lord Alfred Paget. AWFUL EXPLOSION TVITH LOSS OF .6 . r Fil ..c.i.V 212,5.tE0.D3C?..cL ffi- a Z2ZEE I • About nine o'clock a.m. on Saturday as one of the large omnibuses was passing in the middle of the broad street, and when in front of the house of Mr. Boor, a manufactur• ing chemist, Bishopsgate-street, at the angle of Artillery lane, the vehicle was struck by some explosive substance. At the same time the front of the building was blown out into the street, and almost simultaneously every room in the building was in flames. At that time there were seven or eight if not nine persons in Mr. Boor's premises. Several made their appearance at the different win dows, when some men working at an opposite house in Bishopsgate ran with a ladder, and rescued three men ; but they were so fearfully burned that they were obliged to be taken to the hospital. Conductor Shaw, of the Royal Soeie ty's:Escape, rushed through the fire in Mr. Finch's premises opposite, and brought out Mr. Frederick Finch and the maid. Engines were set to work in an admirable manner, and from the first the steam engine performed wonders, for the flames were then raging in the premises of Mr. Finch, Mrs. Goodvere, a butcher, in Artillery-lane, and of Mr. Browning, a provision storekeeper, No. 2, in the same place. Whilst the firemen were actively engaged a scene that beggars description took place. Captain Shaw, the Duke of Sutherland, and a strong body of the brave firemen,lincluding Foremen Bridges and Joseph Gerrard, and many other officers, nearly lost their lives. Of a sudden the whole of Mr. Boor's building, furniture, and other effects were hurled to the g round; and had it not been for the foresight of Captain Shaw the whole of those engaged must have perished. By 11 o'clock the fire was entirely extinguished, when the firemen commenced turning over the ruins to search for the bodies missing, but up to 12 o'clock at noon not the vestige of anyone had been found. A female, who was not found at 1 o'clock to-day, wad seen at one of the win dows, and by possibility might have escaped, but there seems little doubt that the child named Ann Bordent, 18 months old, is beneath the embers. The names of the men in the hospital are Seriarift, Spinks, Reach, Bald, and Evans. As to the cause of the explosion, not the least reliable information can at present le obtained. The losses will fell upon the Mercantile, Royal, and several other offices. LATEST PARTICULARS. The above report conveys but a faint idea of the exten of property destroyed, or the number of persons injured Shortly before five o'clock, the firemen, under direction toJ Captain Shaw, commenced to turn over the ruins, with a view to ascertain if possible the fate of the missing female and Mr. Boor's child." After some considerable labour, in the first place the remains of the unfortunate servant wer found, as also the child, but both in so frightfully burned and mutilated a condition as to be scarcely distinguishable as human beings. The four sufferer,. r,ninvod to tho hoes pital are reported to be in a most precarious position, and a poor boy, a shoeblack, who was at work near the house, is also in the hospital and not expected to survive his inju ries. Besides the buildings before enumerated, those of Mr. Peacock and of Mr. Price, surgeon, on the opposite side of the road, and. various others, are more or less injured, The bodies of the deceased persons await an inquest. The actual cause of the explosion is still enveloped in mystery. FOREIGN MAIL PACKET LIST. MAILS DUE. Aue.ralia and Mauritius, via Southampton June 18. via Marseilles June 12.

Kossuth : " My dear and very honoured P riend,Four years since the march of events forced us to resume more seriously the work of delivering our unfortu nate country. It was then that we formed with our very noble friend Count Ladislas Teleki, and under your presidency, the Hungarian National Commit mittee. We have served the cause as well as cir cumstances and the limited means at our disposal permitted us. The arrest of Ladislas Teleki and his unfortunate death was the first blow which our or ganisation abroad had to endure. Of the three members of the committee one had ceased to live, you were in London, 1 at Geneva, retained by pri vate busir.ess. My intention was then to propose to you either the reconstitution or the complete dis solution of the committee. Yielding to the persua sions of my political friends, I adjourned every pro ceeding in that sense. Imperious circumstances compel me at present to withdraw completely. M y health has suffered considerably lately . My private affairs claim a greater share of my time. I cannot , therefore, any longer devote myself directly to our political interest, except in a very insufficient man ner. My good wishes will assuredly follow those whose time, efforts, and activity shall be devoted to the triumps of our cause, but I cannot engage my responsibility any longer in it ; I cannot attach my name to it any longer. I withdraw, therefore, re nouncing henceforth all intervention in the direc tion of the affairs of the Hungarian emigrants. If I must again enter on a military policy, it will be on an appeal from my country. After 14 years' uninterrupted labour for the welfare of my unfor tunate country, 1 return into private life, taking with me the firm conviction that I have conscien tiously performed my duty. I feel still a hope that my withdrawal will not in any respect cause a pre judice to our cause, and that without my aid the first rays of reconquered liberty may shine on my country at no distant period. Until then let concord strictly unite all the patriotic elements in foreign countries. The first of duties is to preserve the Hungarian name pure and untarnished, and I am confident that none of my countrymen will fail in doing so. " KLAPKA." CRYSTAL PALACE. Brilliant weather and an attractive programme of amusements co operated to induce a large and fashionable attendance at the Crystal Palace on Saturday last, and we may safely say that palace and grounds were seldom seen under more advan tageous circumstances. Within doors, under the noble vaulted roof of the matchless structure, the various tropical plants and shrubs were in splendid condition, as healthy, strong, and perfect as if they were in their native climes, and not leading an exotic existence in a very high latitude on a very high hill. The air throughout the building was delightfully tempered, and rendered as fresh and agreeable as could be desired—a fact which was fully appreciated by the thousands who thronged the nave and loitered in the courts. At one o'clock, in the concert-room, the orchestral band of the company performed a selection of music of a classical character, comprising the chefs d'oeuvre of the great masters, and including the sprightly and beautiful " Exhibition March " of Auber, the exe cution of which created quite a furore amongst a discriminating audience. On the termination of the first part of the concert in the Music Court the company adjourned to the park to witness the dis play of the entire system of waterworks and Blon din's first ascent this season over the terrace foun tains. The grounds wore their brightest livery. Gigantic elms, oaks, and chestnuts seemed to bew to the earth by the weight of their foliage, as they gently swayed hither and thither in the breeze. As soft as the softest Turkey carpets was th.s. closfly cut and verdant turf; gorgeous were the parterres of flowers and beds of rhododendrons, and smiling and luxuriant the wide expanse of country which the eye swept over beyond, from Gad's hill on the left to the tree-clustered knolls in far-off Sussex on the right. Foreigners there were pre sent not a few ; for nearly one-half the visitors were French and Germans, who were in ecstacies with the scene, and vented their pleasure in their own mother tongue, and then in the limited broken English at their command, but ever with a lavish expenditure of gesticulation. It was one of the few occasions that the play of the fountains has proved a real success, though at times the high wind which blew across the park from the south behaved capriciously, and sadly marred the effect. For the same reason Blondin's ascent was a difficult one. His passage along the rope from the middle stage to the end next the refreshment wing was not with out peril, as it appeared from below, and required all his courage, prudence, and caution, so great was the resistance offered to his progress by the wind, The return was accomplished backwards. One of two of his simplest and safest feats were all he yen. tured to attempt; and on his reaching the centre stage it was not without a sense of relief that people saw him step into the car and drawn into the front gallery of the build ing, instead of passing along the remaining half of the rope. At half-past four the company's band and the band of the Coldstream Guards, united under the conductorship of Mr. Manna beneath the new ceiling of the Handel orchestra, and performed the following selection of music ; Wedding •• •• •• Mendelssohn. •• Solo for Cornet, "The Whirlwind Polka .. Levy. (Cornet, Mr. Levy.) Exhibitipn Overture .. Meyarbeer. New Waltz, " Flora" .. .. A. Manna. Prayer from " Mose" .. Rossini. Coronation March, "Ding of Prussia" .. Meyerbeer. Overture, " Haydee" Auber. The performance was of a character to test the efficiency of the new arrangements, and the results were most satisfactory in an acoustic point of view. The entertainments were brought to a close by Mr James Coward's - peformance on the great organ. •E 3 I HANDEL FESTIVAL. The great full rehearsal at the eryatal Palace, under m Costa, will take place on Saturday, 21st Juno, commencing at 11 o'clock. The choruses in the first part of the rehearsal will comprise thoso known as single choruses, the second part (which is expected to commence about two o'clock) will consist of double choruses from " Deborah," " Solo mon," and Israel in Egypt." The list of principal vocalists engaged for this festival is unusually strong, including the names of Madlle. Titiens, Madame Rudersdorff, Madame Lemmens Sher rington, and Miss Parepa, Madame Sainton Dolby, Mr. Sims Reeves, Mr. Weiss, Mr. Santley, and Signor Belletti. They will all tako part on the great rehearsal day. Several interesting acoustical experiments have lately been made to test the effect of the new roof thrown over the orchestra, These have been attended with marked success. Single voices and instruments have been heard at the extreme end of the central transept with as much distinctness as in a small concert room. In ono instance a conversation was kept up with a little child placed at the back of the orchestra with perfect ease. The increase in the powerful tones of the great organ, with its addi tional thirty-two feet pedal pipes, is really astonishing, and justifies the most sanguine anticipations in respect of the Festival. A large number of applications for tickets have been re • ceived during the last few days from the Continent, an d from various parts of the country, from persons coming to London for the Agricultural Show, who also intend availing themselves of the opportunity for attending the Festival. It is anticipated that the number of Germ ans an d other foreign ers attending the Palace during the aduring tival week will far exceed those on an y former occasion, On the day of tho g reat rehearsal th e doors of the Pt Palace w ill be opened at nine in the mor ning. this c e Ticket day, if purchased on or before Thursday, 19th Jun be 7s. 6d. ; uft•r tha t time t he price will be half-a-guinea. w nea l . The great fountains will be played one hour after the conclusion of the rehearsal. It has also been announced that ss. tickets will be issued o n each of the three days of the Festival, viz., Monday, the 23d ; Wednesday, the 25th , and Friday, the 2 7th of June. It can be scarcely requisite to draw the aitention of in tending visitors from the country to the necessity of scour• ing Tickets previously to their arrival in town. THE JAPANESE EMBASSY. To-morrow or Wednesday the Japanese Athiia sadors will take their departure from England: They and steamerwilt gomr Woolwich h t o fo t r h e the Netherlands, Hague, in a proceeding afterwards to spe cially sent here for the purpose by the Dutch Go vernment. rtla tehriddsts pei o stay ro fortnight or three P rus sia, where they will remain a few weeks. Thence they go to RusFi a, and afterwards to Portu gal, returning ultima tel y to Paris, preparatory to wceks in he They Netherlands, intend their embarking from Europe in a French man-of war, via the overland route. BA'tfle leaving .Lipan it was arranged that the British Government should afford them the means of transport to Europe, and that the French Government should send them back. On Thursday their Excellencies, accompanied by Mr. Macdonald, had an official interview of some duration with Lord Russell at the Foreign-office, and again on Friday. Mr. Alcock, the English. Minister in Japan, who has recently returned to this country, was present on both occasions, as was also Mr. Hammond, of the Foreign-office. On Fri day evening the Ambassadors and a few of the offi.7 cers of their suite were present at the soiree given by Lord Granville and the Commissioners for the Exhibition at the South Kensington Museum. There they had the honour of . an introduction to their Royal Highnesses the Duchess Of Cambridge;: the Princess Mary, and the Duke of Cambridge. They afterwards attended the assembly of the Marchioness of Westminster, at Grosvencri:: house. On Tuesday, their Excellencies, with four of their suite, accompanied by Mr. Macdonald, paid a visit to the Government small arms factory at Enfield. They went 'from the Shoreditch station by the 9 30 train, and re turned to their quarters at Claridge's Hotel abotit five o'clock. On arriving at the factory they were received by Col. Dixon, and at once pro ceeded with him to make a tour of the establish ment, with the working of which, as with all our great manufacturing processes by machinery on a grand scale which they had seen, they were greatly impressed, and repeatedly expressed their admira tion at the marvellous accuracy and rapidity with which the various parts of the rifle were fabricated on what is known as the interchangeable principle. They were more especially struck, like every visitor to the establishment, with the manufacture of gun stocks by machinery after the American method. Neither yesterday nor on Saturday did they leave their hotel, preferring now to spend the remainder of their stay among us in necessary rest and in making preparations for their departure. Within the last few days they have been joined by Moryama, one of their own countrymen, who has accompanied Mr. Alcock to England. Speaking English tolerably well, he took a leading part with Mr. Alcock in arranging the treaties made in Japan with this country. He is the hearer of despatches to the Japanese Ambassadors, and comes, besides, on the assumption that he may be of service in giving effect to the principal object of their mission, which has reference to commercial intercourse, be tween the two countries. IMPORTANT JUDICIAL CHANGES. There is every reason to believe that some im portant judicial changes will` fake plate at - the Close of the present term—that is, during the long *ma tion. Dr. Lushington, who has been Judge o the Admiralty Court and Dean of the Court of Arches, intends retiring, as he is upwards of eighty }tears of age, and the report is that ho will be succeeded by Mr. Baron Wilde. For the post of Baron of the Exchequer, which will thus become vacant, several gentlemen are spoken of. Neither the Attorney-General (Sir W. Atherton) nor the Soli eitor-Generel (Sir Roundell Palmer) would, of course, accept the appointment ; and it is generally thought that Mr. R. P. Collier, M.P. for Plymouth, will bo raised to the bench, although Sir David Dundas, M.P., Mr. Sergeant Kinglake, M.P.,' Mr. Sergeant Pigott, M.P., and Mr. R. Lush, aro freely spoken of. Some little delay in completing the proposed arrangements will probably occur, in con sequence of the undecided state of the questions relating to "Essays and Reviews." It will be re membered that Dr. Lushington has heard at great length the case of the Rev. Dr, Rowland Williams, the vicar of Broad-Chalk, the author of " Bunsen's Biblical Researches," and that of the Rev. H. Bristowe Wilson, 8.D., the author of " Seances Historique de Geneve"—The National Church," in that volume ; and the learned gentleman is now preparing his judgments on the points so elaborately argued before him in both cases. He has not yet intimated to the counsel engaged when he will be ready with his decision, but there is no doubt that the delivery of his judgment on these difficult and important causes will constitute his last judicial act.
