The mail is advertised to leave on the 25th, four days before the usual time, in expectation of the change of monsoon, which ought to occur about the end of this month. You must therefore be satisfied with a shorter letter than usual, which is of the less consquence because there is really nothing to write about. Nothing of any interest has happened since I last wrote. The C o mmander-in-Chief is till at Shanghae. The French vice-admiral has gone thither. We have not yet heard of the occu pation of Chusan. 1,800 French troops, principally of the 101st regiment of the line, have arrived in a man-of-war steamer and transport, and are now in Hong Kong harbour. Many of the men land and roam about the town daily. They are smart good-looking fellows, but the majority appear too young and slight for this climate. "hey have had a very prosperous voyage, and have had no sickness to speak of. They have with them a general of brigade. They will leave this for Shanghae in a few days, and are, I believe, to dis embark and occupy a position at the entrance to the Woosung, the riser that leads from the great Yang-tse river up to Shanghae. Having once established themselves in that locality, it remains to be seen whether they will ever again quit it. The French nation has the credit of hankering after a colony, or at least a pied-a-terre in China, and the situation I have indicated might perhaps suit their purpose. It is favourably placed for trade, and may be expected to prove healthy. The climate of Shanghai, which is about 15 miles up the Woosung river, is considered better than that of Hong Kong. The organisation of the expedition proceeds, and the preparations are assuming gigantic proportions. The harbour is full of transports, fitted up for infantry, cavalry, artillery, stores, &c. The quarter. master general's department ceases not night and day from its herculean labours, which seem daily to gather more and more thickly around it. Strong must be the frame and clear and wise the head of any man who can preside over the multifarious duties and direct the varied operations of this re sponsible department. It seems to be well repre sented in this force; and the long experience and untiring energy of its chief may fairly be taken as* a guarantee for ultimate success. Of commissariat officers there seems to be a small army. Under the names of commissaries, purveyors, storekeepers, and other denominations, their name, in the aggre gate, should be " Legion." You meet them at every corner, in pretty uniforms and faultless shirt collars, and new comers turn in the street to stare reverentially at the stars on theirjackets and spurs on their heels, and speculate whether the pro l i - prietors can be generals of division, or only briga diers or high staff officials. However, we are not disposed to cavil at their gay plumage, but are pre pared to speak of them with the greatest possible resped, for they not only feed us but pay us too ; and an' failure on their part in the discharge of either of these very important duties would result in most serious personal inconvenience ; therefore we wish them all success. Land transport is still a subject of frequent conversation, and I doubt not of considerable anxiety. Of tonnage there seems to be a sufficiency. 225. a ton, with a cer tain engagement for six months for every trans port, would hardly fail to ensure this ; but means of carriage by land are not to be had to any extent for love or money. As far as I can gather, the state of affairs is somewhat as follows. We expect in all about 5,000 baggage animals—of these some bullocks are coming from India, and s ome ponies from Japan and anilla ; but it is understood that neither Spaniards nor Japanese will allow any natives to accompany them, in which case the animals must be entirely entrusted to the Military Train and Chinese coolies. The bat talion of the Military Train recently arrived from England has been divided into three battalions, and each of these into four companies. Each company is to be providt d with 375 baggage animals. It is said that they have come out quite unprovided with gear of any sort, and that their first demand on arrival in Hong Kong was for 5,000 sets of horse clothing and 2,000 pack saddles; their second, for an increase of pay. Horse clothing in a country where there are no horses is rather a difficulty, but it might be supplied from India. 2,000 pack saddles could perhaps be made up in Hong Kong in two years. But I question whether the ponies of Japan and Manilla ever saw a horseeloth, much less had one mta and if we bad pack-saddles and all the re quisite furnishings they would be of little use un less we had also animals trained to carry them and men trained to load and drive the animals. It is not an easy matter to do either, Any one who has seen in India a refractory pack bullock, or rampant baggage tatoo, will quite appreciate the difficulty ; and with untrained men and animals there would be innumerable sore backs and unutterable chaos at the very first start. It is therefore in contempla tion, I have heard, to abandon the idea of pack animals, and to harness them all into carts, which are expected from England. Of the capabilities of the military train we have as yet seen nothing, but from their splendid appear ance I should doubt very much their powers to manage a bullock. The very idea of one of these magnificently attired dragoons twisting the tail and otherwise combating a wrong-headed and ob streperous ox makes one shudder. Certainly they look very well, and I should imagine are tolerably expensive. They have beautiful long sabres, and long burnished spurs, and handsome uniforms, and elaborate, belts and pouches, and it is really quite a pleasure to see them promenading the streets, and to listen to the martial clank and rattle of their polished steel scabbards. But it strikes me that a coarse smock frock and leather leggings, a pith hel met and good stout whip, with a short sword and revolver in the waist belt, though not so pretty, would, perhaps, be more useful in contending with the obstinate little animals on whom they are soon to expend their uniforms and their energies. However, John Bull is a complaisant creature and likes to pay well for an article, and does not in quire too particularly as to its adaptation to the work for which it was intended, and in this instance he certainly has plenty to show for his • oney. Supplementary to the military train we have the Chine Coolie Corps, or the " Bamboo Rifles," as they are facetiously called, from the circumstance of each , carrying a stout Bamboo, on which to hang his burden. Of these we may perhaps succeed in taking five or six thousand to the north with us. They are strong able-bodied fellows ;_ and each should carry seventy pounds at least. Each coolie is paid nine dollars per mensem, and gets his food and a suit of clothes gratis. The average pay of a Chinese coolie here is six dollars, without food or clothes, so this high rate must be tempting to a race quite as fond of amassing money as their neighbours. They are somewhat prone to desertion here, especially after receiving an advance of pay on en listment ; but if we once get them away from Hong Kong, this inconvenient practice will probably cease, as in the Gulf of Pe.chi-li we are taught to believe they Will be quite as much foreigners as ourselves. You see then what we have to depend upon for the land transport of the whole force. If the country is found suitable for wheeled carriages (a rather important condition, which, by the way, seems quite uncertain—though I have heard on good authority that it is practica ble, at all events, for the wheelbarrows in which the Chinese in these northern latitudes are accustomed to travel), and if our bamboo rifle friends can be kept together, we shall be able to move a portion ct least of our army by land, though it will never be safe to get far from our water communication. In the seas and the rivers, at all events, till the frosts set in we have constant allies, of which the enemy cannot deprive us. The Armstrong guns have created quite a furore, and Hong Kong has been down to Cowloon, en masse, to see and to criticise them. They are cer tainly very beautiful pieces of mechanism, and to all appearances are as highly finished as one of Purday s best rifles. Those that have arrived are 12-pounders, and what strikes one most at first sight is the lightness of their appearance and small ness of the bore, after having been always accus tomed to associate a certain calibre with a corre sponding di a meter_ , of tube. I believe, myself, that at fir s t we s h a l l all b e dis appointed with them, and for this reason. We for get that the astonishing precision that has been attained with these guns has been under the most favourable possible circumstances, and that the accuracy of their fire at long ranges depends in a very great measure on a commensurate accuracy in judging the distance of the object fired at. For, where you can measure to an inch the exact distance from the muzzle of the gun to the target, the ne cessary elevation can be determined with mathema tical precision, and the result of the shot is certain; but in field practice against an enemy it is a very different affair. Then the nature of the ground, the state of the atmosphere, the smoke and dust in action, the inexperience or inaccuracy of eye of the gunner, and, not least, the unpleasant whiz of the enemy's shot through the air, are all so many disturbing causes which militate materially against great accuracy in judging the correct distance. If then we expect, as I believe that most of us somewhat irrationally do, th a t th e A rms t rong gun is . to pick off a Tartar general or a Chinese man darin at every shot at a range of two miles, we stand a very good chance of being disappointed— not from any defect in the guns, but from our own unreasonable expectations. We have no news from Shanghai yet, but the mail will arrive before I close this. The latest shave from that quarter is that the Chinese Em peror, in replying to our ultimatum, stated that lie had no objciction whatever to an English Ambas sador at Pekin, but that he must come by the same route and be received in the same manner as the American Ambassador who went there recently. The reception is understood to have been not a very dignified one. It is said that Mr. Ward was carried through the streets of Pekin enclosed in a sedan chair of approved construction, closed in, all round, like n box, but with a round hole cut in the roof, through which he made some interesting observations of the heavenly bodies. The condi tions upOn which he was to be admitted to " the presence" being that .he was to knock his head an indefinite number of times on the ground, he came back again with the unratified treaty in his pocket, and a whole skull, neither much wiser nor much better for his excursicat. April 23.—The Shanghai mail arrived last night, but brings us no news of import. The English Commander-in-Chief was to proceed to Chusan on the 18th. As I told' you before no opposition was expected there, and the next arrival will pro bably bring intelligence the quiet occupation of the island by our troops. Kin-tang, where they were to rendezvous, is a small island to the west of Chusan, and not a to*n in the south of the island, as I told you in my last. 24th. I will now finish this for the mail, which closes this evening. The arrivals of troops since I last wrote have been :-300 of the Ist Seikh Ca valry; 100 of Fane's Horse (Seikhs) ; Mowbray's battery of Royal Artillery ; a detachment of Madras Native Artillery, with a mountain train attached ; the rest of her Majesty's 31st Foot ; head-quarters and detachment of 60th Rifles; 87th Royal Irish. Fusiliers ; remainder of 21st Madras Native Infan try ; head-quarters and detachment of the 15th Pun jaub Infantry. The only departure has been a battalion of the Military Train to Japan for horses. The 60th Rifles have landed at Stanley, on the other side of the island, and are living in the barracks there. The 87th have gone to Canton to relieve the 3d Buffs, who will accompany the expedition to the north. All the other troops have been landed at Cowloon, where the camp is daily extending. Gen. Napier has gone over there to-day to take the command of that portion of the forces in the mean time. The Seikhs are objects of great curiosity to the Hong Kong people, and Cowloon is be coming quite a fashionable lounge in the after noon for idlers. The man-of-war steamer Magicienne arrived yesterday from Singapore with a transport in tow. On her way up she put into a bay on the Cochin China coast for some purpose or other, when one of her boats was fired upon by a fort on the shore. A flag of truce was sent in to demand an explanation, and that too was fired upon. British navy officers have a rough and ready way of returning such compliments, and in acknowledgment of this eccentric proceeding the gallant captain of the Magicienne ran in to within good shooting distance, and having quietly demo lished the fort with his broadsides, proceeded on his way rejoicing. For the last few days the wind has been blowing moderately from the south, and transports have been coming in with a rush. To-day it has changed again back to the north-east, and while it continues in this quarter we need not look for many arrivals. THE INSURRECTION IN SICILY. The 'following letter from Palermo supplies us with details respecting the close of the combat be- tween the Sicilians and Garibaldi's volunteers and the royal troops, and describes the first interview between the general and General Lanza's delegates : " At the termination of the fight on the morning of the 27th, in which Garibaldi, at the head of his cacciatori, drove i n at the point of the bayonet the post that defended the San Antonino gate and penetrated into the centre of the city, the roy'tl troops, abandoning the San Antonino Barracks, the central square of the Four Cantons and the Macqueda gate, then concentrated themselves at head-quarter. They thus formed a line extending from St. Francis .of Paul to the barracks opposite the state prison. " In the course of the evening this line was again forced, and General Lanza, compelled to fall back on the King'o palace to the south of the city, found himself thus cut off from the citadel by the entire insurgent city. Such was the situation of the troops on the morning of the 28th. During the day they further evacuated the prisons, the Bagnio, and the barracks before mentioned, and they then took refuge at the extremity of the Mole, where they cried out loudly for the boats of the Neapolitan men of war to come and take them off, which was done. " During the evening, a brisk firing of musketry was directed against the King's palace by the insur gents, who succeeded in entering the Archbishop's palace, whence they fired on the soldiers, who were compelled to abandon the Finanza Palace, and the Ospitaletta, where they had hitherto kept their positions. In the night numerous bands of armed peasantry and mountaineers incessantly harassed the royal troops, who had quitted the heights of Monreale, and were encamped between the Capu eini and the village of Olivezza, thus preventing them from coming up to the aid of General Lanza, who was closely besieged in the King's palace. " May 29.—The troops continue to maintain themselves at the palace and in the citadel, whilst Garibaldi, established at the Hotel de Ville, is tak ing various measures for organising and carrying on the contest, Amongst other acts he decrees the formation of a national guard, and the opening of a subscription for the objects of the war. Moreover, an ordinance signed by him and countersigned by the president of the committee for the interior decrees that " persons guilty of theft, assassination, and robbery of any kind will be liable to the penalty of death. They will be tried by the council of war." Another decree prohibits all persons from passing with arms in their hands through the streets unless under the direction of a chief. Orders are likewise issued that the police are not to be molested. A provisional war committee is charged with the duty of enlisting. Dr. Vicenzo Macalessa is appointed commissioner of the province of Girgenti. A letter received from the last named town announces that the troops stationed there had fraternised with the inhabitants. " The insurgents take possession of four pieces of cannon and a 12-pounder, which they found in the prison barrack abandoned by the Neapolitans. The five steamers that had left on the 28th for the port of Termini return to Palermo without having been able to land the 1,000 men they had on board. Boats bring them back to the citadel. During the even ing these troops make an unavailing attempt to go to the aid of Gen. Lanza. Some sisters of St. Vin cent of Paul arrive from Naples during the day, to nurse the wounded ; they cannot enter the city, and go back on board the French steamer, the Mouette in order to return to Naples. " At nine o'clock p.m. the citadel re-opens its fire, and an immense conflagration ensues near the square of St. Dominick. The number of shells fired at the city since the 27th, at six a.m., is calculated at 3,000. More than 100 of them fell on the mar ket-halls, every shop of which is destroyed. " May 30.—The troops, announced by the Official Journal of the Two Sicilies to be in pursuit of Gari baldi, return from the Parco, and are received at the Porta Reale by the baud commanded by La Massa. Notice from the President of the Commit tee for the Interior is given that the postal service will re-commence on the following day. A procla mation by Garibaldi summons all Sicilians to arms. " At two o'clock a carriage surmounted with a white flag arrives at the landing-place of the Quar antine. Gen. Letizia and the Brigadier Christiano, delegated by Gen. Lanza, alight from it, and repair, accompanied by Garibaldi, on board the English ship Hannibal, where, besides Admiral Mundy, there are the commanders of the Vauban and of the American frigate Iroquois. " Gen. Letizia declares that he has been sent to demand an armistice, and proposes the following conditions :—Retention of the respective positions ; power poor-house. He further demands that the munici pality e a r t t h o e s fl u c e c e o t u . r p t o h w e e w r o u t o n dseedn andsend p r c o o v n i v s i e o y n s t h t e o m t on e shall address a petition to the royal commis sioner to solicit the granting of reforms and insti tutions necessary to the country. " Garibaldi grants the first items ; but on his re fusal to entertain the last-named proposal the nego tiations are broken off. During the armistice, the wounded of the royal Pjj 41) ST , idt , ED, SD. army are taken out of the citadel and conveyed on board the vessels in the roadstead. " The preparations of defence continue in the city. The streets are barricaded, all the men are armed ; priests and monks, mounted on the barri cades, appeal to the courage of the people. " On the 31st, at noon, hostilities have not yet re-commenced. There is a rumour that a truce has been concluded for three days. THE LATE GALES. GREAT YARMOUTH, SATURDAY NIGHT. The boats which on Monday last went to the North Sea in search. of the fishing vessels missing from this port since the gale of the 28th ult. re turned yesterday and to-day, and we lament to say that the intelligence they bring but two truly con firms the worst apprehensions. The exploring squadron, we are informed, first triel the coast of Holland for about 80 or 90 miles south of the Texel, then proceeding north of that island the same dis tance, as the southerly winds which have prevailed since the gale would have carried any wreck in that direction. At Nicudiep they learned that a quantity of nets had been washed ashore, ascertained by means of the marks on the cork to belong chiefly to Lowestoft. They discovered no further traces of the objects of which they were in search, except a piece of a lugger's deck rail picked up on the Texel, which they brought lime, and which has been identified as part of the Paymaster (missing). They learnt that pieces of a lugger's mast and yard had been washed ashore on the Dutch coast, but that having no brand, they could not he identified. This, therefore, is all that is now known, or probably ' ever will be known, of 14 fishing vessels which left Yarmouth and of six which left Lowestoft only a fortnight ago with nearly 200 souls on board. Not within living memory, nor, perhaps, within the wreck history of this fatal coast, has this neigh bourhood been visited by so appalling a calamity. On Yarmouth it will not fall more heavily than on the little fishing villages of Caistor and Winterton, to the north, which contribute a large quota of hardy fellows to our fisheries. A public meeting will be held here on Tuesday, in the Town-hall, for the purpose of making an appeal to the charitable in behalf of the widows and orphans of the lost crews—a step which has been delayed until the result of the search for the missing was ascertained. But where there are so many sufferers—some 240 destitute women and children, it is calculated—the town itself can do little, even did not its own severe losses in the destruction of thousands of pounds of property cramp its benevolence, unless the general public come to its aid. With resnect to the baro metrical indications of the gale, we may mention that a fishing vessel has seldom or never a barometer on board, as each boat generally returns after a night's catch ; and it is very questionable whether the master ever regulates his movements by that instrument. REFORM.--1 2 ()Rl' AND REFUGE UNION. During two days of the past week the around floor of Willis's Rooms has been occupied by an exhibition of articles manufactured by the inmates of various reformatories, refuges, and industrial schools. These articles, carefully arranged accord ing to the departments of industry which they re present, have been placed about the room, sur mounted with the banners inscribed with the name of the institution from which they had proceeded. Some of the works are seen in the process of manu facture, and the " Maida-hill Ragged and Indus trial Schools" distinguished themselves by a little printing press, from which they produced handbills for the inspection of the visitors. The exhibition, which was also.a bazaar, was a repetition of an ex periment made in a previous year by the "Refor matory and Refuge Union," and its results showed a progress in the good work undertaken by the society. The "Reformatory and Refuge Union," as it is called, was founded in the year 1856, as a centre of encouragement for the reformatories, refuges, and industrial schools throughout the United Kingdom, having for its objects the collection and diffusion of information connected with such institutions, the promotion of new establishments, the selection and training of preceptors, and a general superintend ence of religious, intellectual, and industrial educa tion. The fourth year of the "Union" was completed on Wednesday, and a conversazione was held on the first floor at Willis's Rooms, over the exhibition, at which addresses were delivered by the Earl of Shaftesbury, who presided, Mr. Hanbury, and others. From the statistical information com municated on the occasion it appears that there are now 172 reformatories, &c., in Great Bri tain and Ireland, more than 40 of which have been established since the committee of the " Union" commenced their operations. No less, it seems, than 11,000 boys and girls are now under preventive and reformatory treatment, and these returns are exclusive of the penitentiaries for wo men, which are more than 60 in number, and pro vide accommodation for 2,300 inmates. Wednesday evening having been thus devoted to the distinguished patrons and leaders of the " Union," the exhibition on Thursday was followed by an assembly of the teachers at the Reformatory Schools, who took tea and heard speeches, under the presidency of Mr. Hanbury. The gathering was very numerous, and the worthy philanthropists were enlivened by the performance of a variety of popular tunes played by the bands respectively be longing to the " East London Shoe Black Society's Refuge," the "Boys' Refuge," and the "North- West London Training School." With an evident predilection for the brazen departments of musical practice, these little fellows, who were disciplined in military fashion, played with surprising nerve ; and the prayer with which the more serious pro ceedings commenced was vigorously ushered in by the well-known march from " Norma." This might be considered the conversazione of the teachers. ROOFING THE ROYAL EXCHANGE. A notice of motion has been given by Alderman Rose for the consideration of this subject in the forthcoming meetingef the Court of Aldermen, feeling that the applic tion of a number of the mer chants to have the building covered with glass for their better accommodation has not been treated with the respect it deserves. Some controversy has arisen, both in the Court of Common Council and the Court of Aldermen, as to what had become of the memorial addressed by the merchants on the subject to the Gresham Committee. The present Lord Mayor, as Chairman, ex officio, of that Com mittee, has declared publicly more than once, that no such memorial has ever come before him or the Committee, for consideration. It was broadly hinted by Alderman Allen, at the meeting of the Court of Common Council on Thursday, that pro bably the late Lord Mayor received the applica tion, put it in his pocket, and took no further no tice of it. The alderman afterwards retracted that observation, and the matter still remains a mystery. The attention of the council was called by Mr. Per kins to the fact, that in September, 1838, before any steps were taken as to a plan for the new Royal Exchange, the Gresham Committee endeavoured to ascertain the wishes and opinions of their fellow citizens as to whether the building should be en tirely covered, or partially open as before ; that cir culars were issued to most of the leading merchants and brokers, requesting their opinion on the sub ject, the result being that an Exchange partially open as before was chosen by a very large majority, and even, he said, the judgment of some who pre ferred a covered hall was qualified in many in stances by the suggestion that it ought to be entirely , covered only upon the condition of the freeest ven tilation being secured, and the inconvenience of noise, so much complained of in the Bourse at Paris, obviated. Mr. Perkins also observed that the merchants of London never contributed a single shilling to the restoration of the Royal Exchange after the fire, and that the city side of the Gresham Committee was obliged to borrow £BO,OOO towards rebuilding it, which actually remained as a debt at this moment to the Court of Comm on Council. Deputy Farrer reminded Mr. Perkins an d the Council that in February, 1850,. a memorial, signed by Messrs. Rothschild and 116 other gentlemen frequenting the Exchange, was presented to the Gresham . Com . - mittee, complaining of the draughts prevailing . in the area, praying that it might be roofed in with glass, and adding that should the cost of the sug gested alteration be deemed of importance they be lieved the commercial community would cheerfully contribute to it. A year afterwards, the matter having been in the meantime referred to a sub committee, the Gresham Committee informed the memorialists that their request could not be com plied with. Alderman Challis sought to defend the Corporation from the imputation that they h a d no sympathy with the merchants , which he beli eve d was an entire misrepresentation. On the contrary, he said the greatest anxiety was manifested by the Gresham Committee from t he very commencement of the building to consult the comfort and conveni ence ,of the merchants, and he believed that the same feeling still obtained among them.

The first, and by far the most terrible in our estimation, was an inveterate prejudice in favour of camomile tea, and the strength of her prejudice was only equalled by that of her decoction. Her preserves were superb, and her apple-pies—her real " apple-pies" —were something to talk about, putting to the blush the make-believe fashion of trumpery tarts, where an ounce of fruit is spread over any quantity or quality of crust, with prison bars laid across, as if to protect the beggarly thing from invasion ; her cake was equal to her pie, and her home made wines were equal to her cake. Somehow we soon got on such terms with the old lady, that we had the run of a certain corner cupboard, and revelled in raspberry-jam, greengage, marmalade, and sparkling gooseberry; but alas! there was a " bubbly-jock" to our gastric felicity in the form of that horrid camomile tea, which the dear old lady insisted on administering, in the full dose of half a pint, to every luckless being within reach of her prescription. No matter what was the ailment—fever, sprained ankle, or neuralgia—it could only be cured by camomile tea. Camo mile tea was her " life-preserver ;" it was necessary to existence, in her opinion, as the air we breathe ; and, as old Gimble the wheelwright said, " It wur a merciful pro vidence she didn't take to quack pison-stuff on the same scale." She bribed the Sunday school children into its bitterness once a month ; she persuaded the landlord of "The Chequers" that it would remove his grog-blossom; she made the dressmaker believe that it would "clear her complexion ;" and it was asserted that she had attempted to dose the old foxhound, Music, when he came to them a puppy with the distemper. Certain it is that old Music , always displayed active signs of disapprobation whenever he caught sight of the brown pitcher that held the elixir, and it is also certain that he scratched up the camomile flowers on the common with a force that savoured more of revenge than mischief. Dame Hewitt's other fault was in thinking that her son Ben, who managed the business, was the only son in the world worthy of a mother. Certainly, Ben was a fine-hearted, handsome young man ; he was seldom seen at " The Chequers," and played the fiddle at church every Sunday ; he knew a good deal of Shakspere and Goldsmith ; always had a flower in his jacket button-hole ; managed to shoe the most vicious horses without diffi culty, and had a knack of quieting obstreperous babies in a magical manner. Ben's eyes and whiskers were eno gh to disturb the peace of all the Phillises and Daphnes in the neighbourhood ; and when his mother declared that the baronet's son was not to be compared to him, there is little doubt that her opinion was fully concurred in by more young ladies than one. It was our fortune to captivate Ben's affections to a very serious extent. His youngest sister and ourselves had exercised the freemasonry of children, and grown very "thick" during two or three accidental meetings in the lane. We had given her a volume of "Fairy Tales," and she had bestowed on us a pin-cushion of her own making. Our approbation of each other was fully e,tablished over a private reading of "Robinson Crusoe," blended with the demolition of a large apple turnover, and ended incur being taken to her home to see a litter of wonderful puppies. Good Dame Hewitt took infinite notice of cur fine " com plexion," and said all sorts of kind things ; tut we recollect that she insinuated a few remarks as to the efficacy of "camomile tea" in "improving the skin." Ben came in, and found us on the floor, squaw fashion, with three pup pies on our lap and one in each hand ; whether it was our personal beauty, our picturesque "pose," our somewhat saucy tongue, or our interes t in his canine family,. that in fluenced his feelings, we never knew, but certain it is that Ben was " smitten" to a deep extent, and had ten years been added to our eight, th e consequences might have been fatal. From that day, whenever we were missing at home, the place of our resort was no mystery,—we were sure to be found at Dame Hewitt's. Dear, kind, manly, six-feet high Ben, called us his "little sweetheart," and conducted himself with the most lover-like devotion. He permitted us to indulge in all sorts of wilful abominfitions, from interfering with red-hot horse-shoes, to taking his best straw hat on a butterfly hunt. He allowed us to hammer on the anvil, and work the bellows as often as we chose, and when these occupa tions had metamorphosed us into something that our own mother would have scarcely recognised, his utmost rebuke was " Look at your pinafore," accompanied by a maternal like attempt to restore our hands and face to their primitive hue at the water-trough. Ben invariably thought that a holiday would do him a world of good, when we proposed a nutting or wild-strawberrying party in the woods ; and how he would tread down the biggest brambles in our way, and lift us in his strong arms that we might have the plea sure of clutching at an unusually big cluster of oob-nuts. How he would bring us the finest strawberries he found, and make us sit down where the moss was thickest on the sunny bank, while he smoothed our roughened curls into something like human ty, and insisted on a kiss for his trouble. We are afraid we played the tyrant very often, and exercised our power most ungenerously; but Ben s eemed to like his slavery, and encoura g ed our spirit of domination by every possible means. The squire was in immediate want of his hack, which had . been sent to the forge to have a cast shoe rep laced ; but if we ex pressed a strong wish that Ben should mount and take us up before him for a canter to the turnpike and back, why, the squire might whistle for his nag until our desire was gratified. The family might scream their loudest for Ben to come in to dinner ; but if he were engaged in swinging us under the old walnut-tree in the garden, the beef was always allowed to get cold. Wo wanted a young squirrel to pet, and Ben, of course, risked his neck up the tallest trees ;we took a fancy to a large water-lily, springing in the very middle of Miller's Brook, and Ben immediately was bootless and stockingless, and knee-deep in the lucid tide. He went to London the coldest, foggiest day in the whole winter, in order to present us with a riding-whip on our birthday. He gave us the exquisite myrtle which he had cherished for three years, and trusted us with his valuable pocket-knife for any blade-destroying purpose whatever; in short, Ben was our devoted slave.—Eliza Cook's "Jottings from my Journal." MURDER BY A LADY OF HER CHILD.—The in habitants of Coseley, an extensive coal and iron district near Dudley, Worcestershire, were terrified on Wednesday by the intelligence that a lady, well known and respected, had perpetrated, in a horrible manner, the murder of her illegi timate child. Miss Sarah Ann Tyre, daughter of Mr. Thos. Tyre, of the Duffield Iron-works, residing at Mount Plea sant, of the same place, had been suspected and accused of being encicnte, to which she gave a stout denial to her ac quaintances. Strangely, a married woman, named Grimmel, on her way to an iron work with her husband's breakfast, on Tuesday morning, about seven o'clock, had occasion to go she found an found offi th c at the door doo te back r h eloee of closed up, up, Ar rm l d . o T u y o re's peuiruegsiditendciseo,o‘h discovered blood sprinkled on the floor and wall, which was not dry, and appeared to have been lately done. Suspicious, she searched farther, but discovered nothing then. About ten o'clock she procured a candle and matches, and searched the same place. Sh e cou ld see nothine?. but the refuse, which seemed to have been di s t ur b e d, incited her to examine afresh, when she thought she indistinctly saw the portion of the face of a child. Having made sure that it was a human being,shesought assistance, and a female child, which appeared to be several days old, was extracted from the place. It was soon s a t n an d ee . seen that it had been pitilessly ill-used.

On Saturday evening the 4:73d anniversary festi val of the Royal Caledonian Asylum was held at the Frcemasons"ravern. As is usual on these anni versaries, an attempt was made, and by no means vc ithout success, to give not only a national but a picturesque tone to the gathering of the friends of the charity. The walls of the fne hall at the Free masons' were hung with flags, including the itoyal Standard and the Union Jack, and the banners of the Scottish clans. A number of the gentlemen present were the Highland costume, and others naval and military uniforms. Mr. Ross, the Queen's piper, was in attendance, and discoursed very skil ful and energetic music from his remarkable instru ment ; and lastly, the children of the institution, clad in tartan, the boys all wearing kilt and plaid, with their very excellent juvenile band, and their own young pipers, were introduced in the course of the evening, and by their healthy and neat appear ance gave satisfactory evidence of the care bestowed upon them. A selection of vocal music, entirely Scottish, was performed by Miss Theresa Jefferys, Mr. Dawson, Mr. Theodore Distin, and Mr. Donald King, under whose direction the corps of vocalists were placed; Mr. James Coward presiding at the pianoforte. Last, not least, a most excellent din ner and wines were supplied to the guests, so that nothing was wanting to contribute to the success of the festival. Sir Roderick Impey Mur chison was in the chair, supported by the Bishop of Bangor, Sir James Elphinstone, M.P., Sir Michael Shaw Stewart, M.P,, W. A. Mackin non, Esq., M.P., James Merry, Esq., M.P., David Robertson, Esq., J. Erskine Wemyss, Esq., M.P., Mattheson, M.P., Sir Malcolm Murray Macgregor, Bart., R.N., Sir John Heron Maxwell, Bart., Major-General Anstruther, William Fair bairn, Esq., F.R.S., David Roberts, Esq., ILA., Professor Robertson, Professor Masson, Robert Chambers, Esq., the Rev. G. R. Gleig, chaplain general to the forces, and some 200 gentlemen. The Royal Caledonian Asylum, which is situated in the Caledonian-road, Holloway, where a spacious, commodious, and handsome building has been erected, was established in 1815 for the purpose of supporting and educating the children of soldiers, sailors, and marines, natives of Scotland, who have died or been disabled in the service of their country, and of indigent Scotch parents resident in London. There are 109 children now in the institution, sixty six boys and forty-three girls. Sixty-one are sol diers' children, thirty-seven of whom are orphans of men who were slain or died in the Crimea Owing the late war. The education given to the children is eminently practical, and directed towards the end of rendering them capable of making their way in life ; and as stated by the chairman and other gen tlemen in the course of the meeting, there is nothing fictitious about the establishment, which will at any time and without any notice bear the strictest investigation. During the past year thirteen boys and eight girls shave been admitted into the asylum, and during the same period twelve boys and eleven girls have been dm charged on the expiration of their term ; these have all been provided with suitable situations, and have conducted themselves to the satisfaction of their employers. It was stated that the require ments of the institution have greatly increased of late, owing to the war with Russia and the mutiny, which have of course added to orphanage among the families of soldiers, and very urgent and elo quent appeals were made for support, not only on this particular occasion, but by regular and pernta neat subscriptions. The result of the evening was an addition of about £1,400 to the funds of the in stitution. OPENING OF THE VICTORIA STATION AND PIMLICO RAILWAY. This line, which forms a connection between all the railways south of the Thames and the Victoria Station, now in course of erection at Pimlico, was opened on Saturday by the directors in the pre sence of - the officials of the line and their friends. The train started from the Battersea Station of the Brighton Railway, and passed over the Victoria Bridge amidst the cheers of the assembled work men, proceeding up to the Victoria Station, which occupies the site of the old Grosvenor basin ; here the company partook of an elegant dejeuner, pro vided by the contractors. The line of railway so opened forms an important feature in the metropo litan communications, as affording access from all the railways south of the Thames to the western and central districts of London. The chief work on the line is the bridge over the Thames, which consists of four openings of 175 feet each, and is entirely composed of wrought iron, with stone piers and abutments. The design is exceedingly light and elegant, and when quite completed will be one of the most beautiful of the metropolitan bridges. On the north side of the river the line descends by a steep gradient to the Grosvenor Canal, the course of which it follows up to the terminus, pass ing under Ebury-street, St. George's-road, and Eccleston-road, where it enters the station, now in course of construction for the accommodation of the Brighton, the Great Western, and the London, Chatham, and Dover companies. This station, when completed, will be of larger area, and afford more accommodation, than any of the existing line was comm ence d in the me tropolitanl,nisim p s o ta r t ta io n n t s. au tumn of 1858 ; the first stone of the viaduct over the Thames was laid on June 9, 1859 ; so that the time occupied in erecti ng this great work has been exactly twelve months. The contractor f or the whole work was Mr. Kelk, the eminent London builder. Mr. Fowler is the engineer direetnio , in chief t o th e company, under whose in conjunction with Mr. Wilson, the whole of the works have been carried out.
