The ever new buoyancy which seems to press Sir Charles Wood upwards to " an other place " is, we conclude, in part due to his unpopula rity as a speaker in the House of Commens, and to the known need of the Government for help in that direction.

MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE. The demand for wheat in the country markets held on Saturday was very inactive, and prices had a downward tendency. On the continent considerable business continues to be done in wheat and spring corn for shipment to Great Britain at very full prices. The trade at New York fvas dull for flour and wheat at last advices. , As compared with the late highest point, the prices rea lised showed a reduction of 2s per quarter. At this decline a fair clearance was effected. CURRENCY PER IMP. MEASURE.

Tho annual court of the governors of this excellent charity was held on Thursday afternoon, in the board-room of the hospital, the chair being taken by the President, the Marquis of Westminster, K.G. Among the governors pre_ sent were Lord Ebury, Lieut.-Gen. the Hon. T. Ashburn ham, C. 8., Capt. the Hon. F. Maude, R.N., the Hon. A. Kinnaird, M.P., Hon. E. B. Wrottesley, the Rev. Sir Henry Foulis, Bart., Sir Peter Van Notten Pole, Bart., F. J. Augarde, Esq., Captain J. Booth, H. A. Bosanquet, Esq., T. P. Beckwith, Esq., Rev. W. T. Kevill Davies, R. Dick son, Esq., M.D., C. Few, Esq., J. N. Foster, Esq., Mr. Sergeant Gaseleo, C. D. Gordon, Esq., the Rev. E. Hollond, T. Hughan, Esq., the Rev. W. Niven, 8.D., Colonel F. Paget, G. H. Ryder, Esq., and S. Vardon, Esq. The minutes of the last meeting having been read and confirmed, the 24th annual report of the committee of management was read by the secretary, in the unavoidable absence of the hon. sec., Mr. P. Rose. In their report the committee announced, with deep thankfulness, that the operations of the charity had, during the past year, been more exten sively beneficial, both as regards the in and out patients, tlian in any previous year of the hospital's existence. The number of in patients who had experienced the benefits of treatment had been 1,201, compared with 1,150 in 1863. There were in the house on Dec. 31, 1863, 198 ; admitted during 1864, 1,003: total, 1,201. Of whom there were dis charged many very greatly benefited, 839 ; died, 158 ; and there remained in the hospital, Dec. 31, 18 64, 204: total, 1,201. The attendances in the out-patients'department had been very large, and the number of new cases brought under treatment continued to increase, 'those for the past year having been 7,387, compared with 6,908 in 1863. Whilst it was gratifying to observe that the charity had thus afforded relief to a greater amount of human suffering than in any former year, it was also satisfactory to know that by means of the recent improvements in the railway and omnibus communications with Brompton, the hospital is rendered more accessible to persons coming from the northern and southern suburbs of London; so that patients can now attend with less fatigue, expense, and loss of time, than formerly. These facilities aro likely to be still further in creased. In several branches of income there was much cause for encouragement. The annual subscriptions received in 1864 were £5,075 3s. 6d. ; donations, £2,848 3s. ; church collections, deduct ing new subscriptions and donations, £978 10s. 6d.; lega cies (besides stock value £1,350), £3,054 9s. The gross receipts, swelled by an unsual sum from legacies, were £13,518 ss. 6d. The following legacies had been announced during 1864, of which bequests amounting to £2,130 9s• had been already received :—Miss Helen Smart, £lO ; Mrs. Anne Rae-Wilson, £300; John Parnell, Esq., £l,OOO, duty free ; Mrs. Balhetchet, £lOO, duty free ; Daniel M. Evans, Esq., one-third of residue ; Mrs. Duroure, £lOO, duty free ; Mrs. Louisa Scott, £lOO ; Capt. Montagu Montagu, R.N., £lOO, duty free ; Miss Mary D. Oldham, reversionary, amount uncertain; Henry Richards, Esq., £5O, contingent and reversionary ; Thos. Spong, Esq., £500; consols ; Mr. W. A. Goldsmith, £lO 10s. ; Mrs. Charlotte Watts, £5O ; Col. Onslow Baker, £lOO, duty free ; Miss Maria Harman £l9 19s ; Thos. Halstead, Esq., 200, duty free, reversionary. The importance, in a financial point of view, of legacies was apparent from the fact that the charity is still largely dependent upon this source of income for the means of car rying on its work of usefulness, the expenses being nearly £lO,OOO a year, and the annual subscriptions being only about half that sum. The demands upon the resources of the charity continued to increase, and, unfortunately, the ad vancing prices of provisions enhanced the cost of keeping up the large establishment. The committee acknowleged with gratitude the aid afforded by the public, and especially by the clergy, through whose instrumentality, by the means of appeals from the pulpit, the funds of the institution had been directly benefited to the extent of .£1,227 6s. 6d., a total second only to that of 1863. The visit of her Majesty to the hospital, on March 14th, was referred to in terms of deep gratification. The committee referred to the importance of extending the operations of the charity wherever the opportunity was presented. This was effected to some ex tent by the Manor House Home, which accommodated 20 patients, and during the most trying portions of the year extra beds had been again put up in the hospital, which had thus been enabled to receive 211 in-patients ; and in the warm weather it had been felt necessary to keep 207 beds occupied. There was now commenced an effort at extension of a novel character, which it was believed would be of great benefit to the patients, as well as conducive to medical science. A proposal had been made, through Dr. Stone, to establish —at first experimentally a sanatorium in Madeira, in direct connection :with this hospital, the residents in the Island having liberally offered to provide for 20 male pa tients during the coming winter, on condition that their expenses out and home be paid by the hospital. The opportunity of affording to the poor man the advantage of a beneficial change of climate, hitherto open only to the rich, seemed to the committee too great a boon to bo rejected. They had, therefore, after mature deli beration, resolved to accept the offer, feeling assured that with the assistance of the governors and the public the necessary funds would be forthcoming. It was hoped that the experiment, if successful, might be repeated with advantage, not only in Madeira, but in other suitable climates, both at home and abroad. Dr. J. Burdon kanderson had been appointed assistant physician in the room of Dr. E. Smith, whose term of office had expired. The CHAPLAIN then read an interesting report, which contained an eloquent appeal on behalf of the "Rose Fund," the object of which was to afford relief in various forms to the more destitute patients. The reports were unanimously adopted, on the motion of Lord Ebury, seconded by J. N. Foster, Esq. A committee of management and auditors, for the en suing year, was appointed. The Archbishop of Armagh, Earl Cadogan, and Lord Josceline Percy were elected vice-presidents of the charity. The thanks of the governors to the medical officers for their valuable services during the past year having been presented, the business concluded by a cordial vote of thanks to the chairman. SEVERE STORM AND WRECKS IN THE LEWIS.—On the night of Thursday week, a storm of fearful violence from the S.S.W. was experienced on the west coast, which has resulted in considerable damage to vessels and boats. At Holm, in the neighbourhood of Stornoway, two schooners, the Brunette, of Ramsey, and the Aspern, of Thurso, which had arrived from Wick with barrels and salt, were riding at their anchors when the storm came on. As the gale increased they began to drift from their moorings, and were ultimately driven ashore upon the beach. The Brunette has been since got off, and is sup posed to have received comparatively little injury, although the full extent of it cannot be ascertained until she is put upon the slip. The Aspern, however, was not so fortunate, having sustained very considerable damage. In both cases the crews were saved. At Knock, no fewer than eight fishing boats were wrecked, three of them being hopelessly destroyed, and the others so much damaged that it will be some time before their unfortunate owners can have them repaired, so as to be able to prosecute the fishing. All the boats wrecked belonged to native crews. No lives were lost. It is feared, however, that from the force of the gale (which is said to have been the heaviest experienced in that quarter for the last 20 years), intelligence of a more seri ous character may yet be received from some of the nume rous outlying and exposed stations where the fishing is now being prosecuted. The gale had so far moderated by Fri day evening that some of the boats at Stornoway and its immediate neighbourhood were able to proceed to the fi'shin and they returned on S a t ur d ay morn i ng with a g gr -fairoufinsting._scotsman. SINGULAR 1 - 10311 CIDE. —The Union Franc-Com toise gives the following account of a homicide com mitted at Mouthe (Doubs) :—Three mornings since, about seven o'clock, two men entered a café kept by a man named Catal, and, after knocking and calling repeatedly without any one appearing, they looked into the kitchen and were horror-stricken to see M. Guyon, a resident of the town, lying dead on the floor with a gun-shot through the breast. They immediately gave information to the gendarmerie, who, on searching the house, found Catal, the proprietor, con cealed in a closet on the first floor. Catal at once admitted that the fatal shot had been fired by himself. He said that after he and his friend Guyon had been drinking together till a late hour a discussion arose between them as to some particular mode of using a gun ; that he (Catal) then fetched his gun, and that, after each of them had in succession gone through the manoeuvres in question, Guyon exclaimed, " I am not afraid of death; place your gun here (laying his hand against his heart) and fire; you will see th a t I s h a ll no t shrink." Catal obeyed this strange order, and killed his friend dead on the spot. The general belief is that Catal's story is true, and that ho and his friend had both drunk till they knew not what they did. Catal has been com mitted to prison. VANILLA GROWN IN EUROPE. —The Bordeaux journals state that the first pods of the vanilla plant that have ever ripened in France, or even in Europe, have just been gathered iu the hot-houses of the public gardens of St. Bruno in that city. In quality they are superior to the vanilla of commerce, inasmuch as the latter, previously to being brought into the market, is subjected to an operation for extracting part of its odoriferous pulp for perfumery. The vanilla plant grows so well in the above-named gar dens that there is good reason to suppose that a consider able quantity will be produced next year. SPORTING NOTES• THE DERBY AND OAKS. The Bath Meeting, though a success, was most note worthy for the hostility displayed against Broomielaw, who was driven to 40 to 1 for the Derby, and a slight de monstration being made in the much abused Chattanooga. The following day the pen • was put through the The Duke's name, to the no small mortification of those who supported him throughout the winter. It would be well if Mr. Naylor would follow the example of Mr. Merry and the Marquis of Hastings, who, when they found their horses had no chance, immediately struck them to prevent the public being robbed. The Epsom Meeting commences to-morrow. The Woodcote Stakes, for two-year-olds, is the principal event of the first day, and Redan ought to reverse positions with Vespasian, as the distance will suit Lord St. Vincent's colt better than the half mile at Bath. The Rous Stakes should be won by Soumise or Menace, the Brighton Stakes by No Name, and the Heathcote Plate by Hesper or Cranbury. METROPOLITAN CATTLE. There was a large number of foreign beasts on offer here to-day in but middling condition. The show of foreign sheep was likewise extensive. The trade was quiet, but at full prices. The arrival of beasts fresh up from our own grazing dis tricts were very moderate. From Scotland, however, the supply was large and in prime condition. Prime Scots, crosses, dm., moved off steadily, at an advance in the quo tations compared with Monday last of 2d per 81bs, the top figure being 5s per 81bs ; otherwise, the beef trade was steady on former terms. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we received 1,300 Scots and crosses; from other parts of Eng land 600 various breeds ; from Scotland 897 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland 70 oxen. The supply of English sheep was again moderate both as to number and quality. Downs and half-breds were taken off readily at full quotations. Other breeds of sheep were inactive, but not cheaper ; the top figure for mutton was 6s 2d per Blbs. Lambs came slowly to hand and their quality was by no means prime. Prime breeds commanded ready sale at ex treme rates, viz., 7s to 7s Bd, in some instances 8s per 81bs. Inferior lambs met a slow sale at barely late currencies. Calves were in fair supply and steady request at late rates. The best calves produced 5s 2d per 81bs. Pigs, the show of which was good, moved off slowly on former terms.

The continental demand has been large, above, indeed, the average of former years, and certain qualities of wool, suited to the wants of foreign manufacturers, have commanded rather more money than at the commencement of the present series. Good and fine Port Philip, Sydney, and Cape wools are now without ma terial change in value from the close of last sales, but in ferior qualities show a reduction of ld per lb. as compared with the same period. Greasy wool from Port Philip and Adelaide is in request, for export to France, at a reduction in prices from last sales of ld per lb. The actual quantity disposed of, up to the 25th inst., was 55,879 bales, leaving about 113,000 bales to be brought forward. English wool, THE DERBY.

Reeves Reinfrid Newminster Lynch Gladiateur I recommended to be backed the week before the Two Thousand, when at 25 to 1. Those who took my advice have now rare good hedging. He has been doing strong work ever since, and, if not the actual winner, ought to secure a situation amongst the first three. Oppressor has crept gradually up in the market, and is now amongst the leading favourites. He was out seven times last year, and was only defeated once by Wild Agnes. All sorts of excuses were made for him at the time. There is a clever party supporting him ; and when such judges as Jackson and Steele are going for him it is quite sufficient for the public to follow suit. Breadalbane is now first favourite, having deprived Gladiateur of the premiership yesterday at the West-end. He was fairly defeated on his merits in the Two Thousand, though he tried all he could, and I shall expect to see him defeated again. Longdown, from his performances last year, should be well up with Gladiateur at the finish. Christmas Carol has never been out in public, but has had most wonderful trial. It is said that he can cover the Derby course in shorter time than it was ever accomplished before, but I certainly prefer public to private performers. Wild Charley will be the trusted of Mr. Merry. Previous to the Two Thousand he was tried with Liddington and Zambesi. At a mile Liddington beat them both, but when the Derby Course had been run Wild Charley won by nearly a distance. Since then Zambesi and Wild Charley have had another trial, with precisely the same result. Looking at the position that both Lid dington and Zambesi occupied in the Two Thousand, Wild Charley is bound to beat every public performer that has been out this year. Archimedes will, no doubt, be 51b. better than when he ran in the Two Thousand, but still I shall expect to see Wild Charley finish before him. Bed minster has been defeated in his trial, which has had the effect of sending him to the 100 to 1 division. Having noticed the horses that are likely to take a prominent part in the race, it now becomes my duty to try and forestall the judgo in his decision by placing OPPRESSOR WILD CHARLEY 2 GLADIATEUR or BRAHMA 3 If the much despised Chattanooga should be reinstated in the betting again, which I expect he will be, he will not be far away from the winner, if he does not actually win.

THE CASE OF CATHERINE GAUGHAN. Lord LIFFORD drew attention to this subject, which was brought before the house by the Marquis of Westmeath, and in the course of the noble lord's statement it appeared that the recommendation of the Inspector-General of Police in Ireland had not been carried out is respect to the removal of certain members of the constabulary who, it was alleged, had exceeded their duty in regard to the treatment of Cathe rine Gaughan. After some remarks by Earl GRANVILLE and the Marquis of WESTMEATH, it was arranged that the subject should be brought under the consideration of the house to-morrow. WORSHIP OF THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND, The Marquis of WESTMEATH called the attention of the house to this subject, and brought before their lord ships the information promised in the debate which had recently taken place, by the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of London, respectinginfractions of the authorised worship of the Church of England, which were particularly men tioned as having been practised in the Church of St. Alban, Holborn, as well as in other churches, and the solemn oath alleged to have been taken by the Rev. J. Going, incum bent of St. Paul's, Lorrimer-square, and his curate in a pastoral address issued by . him respecting confession, and called the seal of confession. He said at the request of the Bishop of London he consented to postpone his motion. The Bishop of LONDON said that he trusted the noble lord would postpone the motion until after Whitsuntide. The Marquis of WESTMEATH assented. COMPANIES WORKMENS' EDUCATION BILL. On the report of the amendments being brought up, Earl GRANVILLE moved the omission of clause (No. 1), to the effect that children educated in the schools which would be established under this bill should be so educated, in conformity with the doctrines of the Established Church. The Archbishop of YORK strongly objected to the amendment in question. He considered that if the altera tion were agreed to it would destroy the value of the bill. After some remarks from the Earl of CARNARVON and Earl GREY, their lordships divided— Contents 53 Non-contents Majority —ls The first clause accordingly stan is part of the bill. The report as amended was then agreed to. DIVISIONS IN THE HOUSE, The Duke of RICHMOND called attention to the man ner in which divisions were taken in the house; which he contended was unsatisfactory, and necessitated the intro duction of a standing order which would fix the time be tween the question being put by the Lord Chancellor and the members voting to two minutes, instead of leaving the time as at present undetermined. (LEFT SITTING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS—This EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. - The following bills were read a third time and passed : -- Aberdeenshire Roads ; Busby Railway ; Croesor and Port madoc Railway; Highbridge Markets and Gas ; Hoy lake Railway ; Lancashire Union Railway ; London and North Western Railway (additional powers, Wales); London, Chatham, and Dover, and London and South Western Railway Companies; Manchester and Milford Railway, Midland Railway (New Lines, &c.) ; School for the Indigent Blind Act Amendment ; and Sevenoaks, Maidstone, and Tunbridge Railway. MIDDLESEX INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS BILL. Mr. C. FOSTER moved that the order of the 11th of May, that the report from the select committee on the Middlesex Industrial Schools Bill be read, and that the bill be discharged. Mr. P. HENNESSY strenuously objected to such a course. The bill was now in the hands of the house, and contended that it was within the province of the promoters of the measure—the Middlesex justices—to withdraw the bill. He opposed the motion for the withdrawal, and said that in the event of the bill being retained, he should move its third reading on Thursday next. Mr. BARING thought the bill contained some exceed ingly useful clauses, and thatit was desirable that it should receive the further consideration of the house. The motion for T th H e E CAPE COLONY withdrawal of the bill was negatived. Mr. WARNER asked the Secretary of State for the colonies whether it was true, as stated in newspapers, that the Governor of the Cape. Colony was pursuing a policy in regard to the Caffres of which the responsibility has not been assumed by the colonial Legislature ; and whether, in the event of war arising, it would not be difficult under these circumstances to enforce upon the representative Go vernment of the colony its obligation to bear the whole burden of internal defence ? Mr. CARDWELL said he proposed that the policy re ferred to was that which the governor had thought fit to adopt with respect to the quietly disposed natives. He did not think that it was a policy likely to lead to war, but quite the reverse. The governor in such matters always acted on his own responsibility. The defence of the colony up to the present time had always rested on this country and for the present it would continue to do so. ------- THE RED RIVER SETTLEMENTS. Sir E. GROGAN asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if any, and what, steps had been taken by the Government, since the report of the select committee was presented to that house, for opening up the Red River dis tricts and the valley of the Saskatchevan to settlement under the Crown, and putting an end .to the exclusive privileges heretofore claimed by the Hudson's Bay Company in these districts; and if the claim of ownership, put forward by the Hudson's Bay Company in the territory lying between Canada and British America, being about two-thirds of our possessions on that continent, was admitted by the Government as well founded ? Mr. CARDWELL' said it had been the desire of the Secretary for the Colonies for years past to obtain the settlement of the question, and various proposals had been made to Canada. It was to be hoped that Canada might be induced to undertake the settlement of the colony, especially as the law officers of the Crown had given it as their opinion that the rights of the Hudson's Bay Com pany were such as could not be resisted. CONSTABULARY FORCE (IRELAND) AMEND MENT ACT BILL On the motion for going into committee on this bill, Mr. 0. GORE moved that the measure be referred to a select committee. Mr. BRADY seconded the proposition. Lord J. BROWN did not think a select committee of the house a good tribunal to inquire into this measure. Ho thought the executive Government was best fitted to deter mine the exact number of constables to be appointed to each county. Sir R. PEEL hoped the house would allow him to pro ceed with the bill, because no practical good could result from sending the bill to a select committee. He had made an alteration in the measure which would enable the Lord- Lieutenant to increase the parliamentaryquota, of constables in any county that he might think necessary. He had been asked what the object of the bill was. The object of the measure was to prevent a repitition of certain proceed ings which took place in Belfast last year, which were a disgrace to the whole country. (Hear, hear.) It was of the utmost importance the bill should bill should pass. (Hear, hear.) If July should come upon them with out t h is b e e f being ound the quite law w and there would, be a repetition of those scandalous and disgraceful orgie that produced such lamentable results last mwoeasuldurincompetentths land, to preserve the p eace, the 165 poli cemen year. Sir H. CAIRNS thought it highly injudicious on the part of the right hon. baronet to open up a debateable subject, and he hoped no person would express his opinion, He denied that the persons who waited on the Government last year from Belfast with the intention of getting the police superseded and martial law proclaimed were the " authorities " of the town. He had no desire to impede the measure; on the contrary, if certain amendments, which he thought the bill required, were agreed to, he should give the right hon. baronet his cordial support in passing it through the house: - Mr. 0. GORE said as it seemed to be the desire of the house to proceed with the consideration of the bill, he would withdraw his motion for referring the bill to a select committee. The motion was then, by leave, withdrawn, and the house went into committee on the bill. (LEFT SITTING.) SPORTING INTELLIGENCE—This Day. CITY BETTING—THIS DAY.

WESTMINSTER. ROBBERY AT THZ SOUTH KENSINGTON MUSEUM.—A young man, who gate the name of Richard Jones, was placed at the bar charged with a robbery at the South Kensington Museum. James Thompson, of 65, College-street, Chelsea, said he was employed at the museum, and was going to extinguish the gas in one of the schools on Saturday night, when he discovered the prisoner stooping down pocketing some gas fitting tools belonging to prosecutor from his basket. The police were called, and he was given into custody. A policeman produced a steel binder belonging to a sewing machine which he found upon the prisoner, and for the possession of which ho could not give any account. Thomas Saul, an attendant at the museum, said that the steel binder produced had been stolen from that part of the building appropriated to patents. It belonged to Messrs. Wheeler and Nelson, and was sent by them to the museum for exhibition. It was an invention for the purpose of put ting binding on cloth. It was nominally the property of the Lord Chancellor. Witness last saw it safe in its place on Tuesday night. Mr. Selfo asked the prisoner, who refused to give his address, where he lived and how he obtained his living. Prisoner declined to give his address, stating that he had none in particular at present. Mr. Selfe said he must know something about him, and remanded him till Friday. LYCEUM THEATRE. On Saturday night Mr. Fechter took his benefit at this theatre, which closed on that occasion for the season. In the course of the evening he ad dressed the audience as follows : " Ladies and G . entlemen,—l am truly gra t e f u l f or your kind reception, and I take the opportunity it gives me of troubling you with a very few words. I close this theatre to-night, to re-open it, under my sole management, in next October. Until then, after a summer's rest, I shall have an honour I have not yet enjoyed, the honour of appearing before other English audiences in different parts of the kingdom. I think you will be glad to know, from my own lips that, as a manager, I am in the best heart and hopes. If my success during the season that terminates has not been quite as great as in the two preceding seasons, I know that great suc cess cannot always be commanded ; and I most cheerfully admit cannot always be deserved. Practice is so much better than preaching, and per formance than promise, that I will leave my next season to speak for itself ; I am greatly mistaken, and I shall be greatly disappointed, if it does not present you with a new feature and a new interest in the art of acting. Ladies and Gentlemen, — Though to many of you I am a Frenchman, I am an Englishman born ; but, had I been an Esqui maux, your national generosity would have made me at home here; and for that generosity I most fervently and most deeply thank you. Until October, in the name of all the artists engaged at this establishment, no less than for myself, I most reluctantly bid you farewell. I hope you will not easily forget me, for I never can forget you." THE QUARREL BETWEEN MR. BUCKSTONE AND MR. BOUCICAULT has been at length brought to a proper close, thanks to the good offices of Capt. German, Mr. Montague Williams, and others. When the " Woman in Mauve" was produced the audience condemned it, and Mr. Buckstone made a speech in which he charged Mr. Boucicault with having organised an opposition to the per formance. How groundless this charge was will be seen from the following letter:— " Theatre Royal, Haymarket, May 17. " Sir,—When I made the charge against you in the matter of The Woman in Mauve,' I was not in actual possession of the proofs ; but I relied on their being in the hands of certain persons from whom I obtained the infor mation, and whose names I mentioned in the Morning Post. They have failed to furnish me with those proofs; I, therefore, regret that any such charge should have be en made—Yours obediently, " JNO. B. BITCKSTONE. " To Dion Boucicau lt, Es q ." ilirbßoucicaultthereforeappeared had dp ar e e in the permission issioto publish this lett er , an d t haMorning Post--a journal w hi c h took up the matter very warml y , and in which several former letters were printed. Mr. Boucicault says, ver y justly—" I have endured for many years petty at tacks equally unfounded, and which can only, as far as I am aware, be ascribed to professional jealousy ; but this is the first that has appeared in a sufficiently direct form to enable me to meet and expose it." THE SALE OF DAVID ROBERTS'S drawings and pictures realised the large sum of £16,450. THE DECORATIVE WORKS IN THE INTERIOR OF ST.

The picture may, at a future time, be added to the above named gallery. , ORIGIN OF THE MALT AND BEER TAXES.—The following memoranda may not be uninteresting to many of our readers :—Alehouses were established in this country as early as 721, and are mentioned in the laws of Ins, King of Wessex. Public-houses were first licensed in 1621, authority being granted for that purpose to Sir Giles Mont pessan and Sir Francis Michel, for their own emolument. In 1553 the number of taverns in London was limited to forty. The malt tax was established in 1697, increased in 1760, and newly modelled in 1766. An Excise duty on beer and ale was first legally imposed in 1660. 24 20 100 100 190 100 100 1( 0 100 100 2.1.0 2.14.6 3.4.0 2.7.0 2.13.6 9.10.6 601 all 1.1.0 7.8.3 8.13 4.18.0 96 4.3.0 214 3 32i 3.10.6 2.8.0 7.1.6 10.6.7 3.12.8 8 384 tong 101 1 941 } 831 3 100 7i I
