r O6 . otot MONEY MARKET AND GUMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. A continued demand for discount accommodation Is kept up in all quarters, and very little, if any, relaxation is expected either in the inquiry or in the terms upon which commercial paper can be nego tiated till the end of the month, when all the re venue and other payments due at the termination of the quarter have been liquidated. The lowest charge among the brokers is 3 per cent., which, as a consequence, sends a large number of applicants to the authorities. About £4,000 in gold was taken into the Bank yesterday. The Stock Exchange committee have resolved upon the follnwing addition to their rules respecting settling-days, &c., in the shares of new companies: " And that, in the event of the capital being issued in shares, some partly and some fully paid up, the prospectus shall state the exact amount of each de scription."

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioiler Holroyd.) IN RE SIR J. J. R. MACKENZIE, BART. This matter has been before the Court upon a great many occasions, and to-day the bankrupt applied for his order of discharge, the figures being very heavy, the debts and liabi lities being put at £195,000, and the assets depending upon the realisation of certain estates in the country which had been mortgaged to the late Earl Fitzwilliam and other creditors. Upon the last occasion the bankrupt was al lowed to pass by his Honour, against whose decision an appeal has been lodged by the assignees in the Court of Chancery. Mr. Sargood, for the assignees, said that it would be seen that the assets had beeri very greatly over-estimated, and instead of being in surplus of the debts were in a large deficit. It was very desirable that the accounts should be put straight, and certainly Sir James.should not have been allowed to pass until this had been done. Mr. Lawrence, for the bankrupt, urged that an appeal upon a pure question of account would bo extremely un desirable, and therefore Sir James would consent to award the costs. _ _ ___ Mr. Sargood intimated that if the accounts were amended the appeal would be withdrawn. There were, however, certain matters which must be inquired into, and therefore an adjournment must be ordered. t After some ge eral discussion another adjournment was ordered, it bein , understood that if certain amendments were made tilesappeal would be withdrawn. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.) ABRAHAM V. BARTLETT AND ANOTHER. This was an action to recover £28155., money advanced to defendants, and £5 17s. goods supplied, defendants pleading that the goods for which the money was advanced hai been destroyed by fire. _ _ . - - Mr. Lewis, senior, appeared for the plaintiff, who is a furniture dealer, Mr. Baard representing defendants, who are furniture manufacturers. Mr. Lewis, in opening the case, stated that his client had employed defendants to make a parcel of furniture, and defendants required some money on account. Upon this plaintiff advanced a sum now claimed, and he (Mr. Lewis) could not understand how the claim could be disputed, though he understood that a very novel defence had been set up. Defendants now said that there had, been a fire on the premises, and the goods for which this money had been paid were destroyed by it. Mr. Lewis contended that plaintiff could not be at all affected by this fire, as the goods which defendants were to have made were not completed at the time it happened. Mr. Beard on behalf of defendants took a technical objec tion to the jurisdiction of the Court, which was overruled. Some discussion then ensued as to the question of ac count between the parties, and Mr. Lewis endeavoured to show that defendants had not even commenced to manu facture the furniture, which was obliged to have been destroyed, and that the money now sued for had been paid to the use of the defendants. His Honour thought this would resolve itself into a pure question of account, because if defendants had made one chair, the form of action would not lie. Mr. Lewis said he would prove that nothing had been done. Mr. Beard produced a number of invoices, and that the money paid had been actually handed over in payment for goods which were finished when the fire took place, and thus the property was vested in plaintiff, who must also bear the loss. His Honour thought this was a matter which might well be referred to the registrar of the Lord Mayor's Court, as he could go into all the facts. Leave will be given to the plaintiff to amend his particulars of demand, and to de fendants to amend their pleas. Referred. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.--This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF CREATING A DISTURBANCE AT THE PRINCESS'S THEATRE.—Mr. John Griffiths, coach maker, of 27, High Wakefield, was charged before Mr. Mansfield with creating a disturbance during the per formance at the Princess's Theatre, and refusing to leave his seat when requested to do so by the lessee of the theatre. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap pealed for the defendant. Mr. Win. H. Sleigh, treasurer at the Princess's Theatre, Oxford-street, said—Last night this gentleman occupied one of the four seats in the upper circle which had been booked by a gentleman in the morning. First of all, the boxkeepers requested him to leave the seat, and as he re fused to do so I was called by a boxkeeper. I told the defendant that persons had booked the seat in the morning, and that he must leave it, at the same time offering him another seat. The defendant caused a disturbance by not leaving the seat, and causing persons to stand up to see what was going on. The defendant was very quiet, but obstinate. I had no other alternative but to give the defen dant into custody. It is the duty of the box-keepers to see that persons who book seats have them. By Mr. Lewis—Until I spoke to the defendant he was perfectly quiet, and, in fact, he was so , all the time. All thei seats in the upper circle were not booked, but a good many were. Mr. Mansfield—lf a person takes a place already let the proprietor has a perfect right to turn him out ; but I do not know that he can proceed any further with ft. I should be guilty of false imprisonment if I kept the defendant any longer in the dock, and he is therefore discharged. Mr. Lewis—lt is a gross case of interfering with the liberty of a subject, and I do not think for a moment that Mr. Sleigh could be acting under the authority of the re spectable manager of the theatre, Mr. Vining, in giving Mr. Griffiths into custody. Mr. Sleigh—l gave the defendant into custody on my own responsibility. Mr. Lewis—Then you will have to answer for it. The matter will not end here, you may rest assured. Mr. Griffiths, with much indignation, exclaimed as ho was about to leave the dock—" What have I done ? I have been dragged here and made to tread ground I have never trod before." THAMES. SHOCKING DESTITUTION. —Timothy Flinn, a poor, miser able creature, apparently about the middle age,was brought before Mr. Cooke charged with vagrancy. Childs, a police-constable, No. 193 H, s t a ted that he found the prisoner yesterday evening in Well-street,White chapel, near the Sailors' Home, and he was begging of every person he met. He took the prisoner into custody, and a more wretched creature he had never met with. He saw the prisoner on Monday last and gave him a ticket for the workhouse of the Whitechapel Union, and showed him the way there. The prisoner said ho was turned out of the workhouse. He believed the prisoner had seen better days, and had been a mariner. Mr. Cooke—What is the matter with the poor man? Childs—He has had a sunstroke. The prisoner, who was shivering and seemed half pal sied, said he would rather be in a workhouse than out of it, Roche, the gaoler of the court, said the prisoner was in a most deplorable condition, barefooted, and his clothes, or rather the remains of them, were very filthy and ragged. Mr. Cooke said be would remand the prisoner until Monday, and directed inquiries to be made as to whether he had been turned out of the unionhouse or left of his own free will. It would be unfair to blame the parochial authorities until the truth was known. DOCK ROBBERlES.—Cornelius Guinan, an Irish labourer, was brought before Mr. Cooke charged with stealing a bottle of beer from the ship Sidney Hodges, in the East India Dock. The prisoner had been employed with others in loading cargo on board the Sidney Hodges. Yesterday afternoon Mr. Nunkell, the chief officer, saw the prisoner and another man descending into the lower hold. He inquired their, business, and they said they were going below for their coats. He watched them, and when they came up again he saw a bottle of beer in the prisoner's breast coat pocket. He immediately gave him into the custody of Charles Douglas, a dock constable. Douglas said there were 500 or GOO casks of bottled beer in the lower hold of the Sidney Hodges, and produced a bottle of beer taken out of a cask. It bore the same brand and mark as the one taken from the prisoner. These rob beries were very frequent in the Docks. The labourers who had access to beer and spirits plundered them to a great extent in loading ships. Mr. West, the prisoner's employer, aaid he had been in his employ nine years and upwards, and he never heard of his being in difficulty before. Mr. Cooke said, in consideration of the high character received of the pri s )ner, he should sentence him to 21 days imprisonment only. SURGEON TO THE QUEEN FOR SCOTLAND.—We understand that Mr. James Spence, F.R.S.E., F.R.C.S.E., Professor of Surgery in the University of Edin burgh, has been appointed .Surgeon in Ordinary to the Queen in room of the late Dr. David Ilaelagan.—Edinburgh Courant. FATAL ACCIDENT AT A MUSIC WAREHOUSE. — Yesterday evening a boy, named Thomas James Clark, about 3.4 years of age, in the employ of Messrs. Novello, the music publishers, of Dean-street, Soho, lost his life by the following means. It appears the deceased was engaged in raising some bundles of paper to the top floor of the building by moans of a lift, and while on the fourth floor he fell through the opening to the basement. Dr. Rogers of Dean-street was immediately sent for, and on arriving pronounced lifo to be extinct. GREENWICH HOSPITAL OUT-PENSION.—A va cancy has occurred in the list of officers on the out-pension of Greenwich Hospital for a commander R.N., value £65 per annum, in consequencb of the death at Cheltenham of that gallant and distinguished officer, Captain George Hillier. The deceased, who had attained the advanced age of 89 years, entered the navy in 1787, on board the Alfred, 74. Naval and Military Intelligence. The Duke of Cambridge, accompanied by Prince Arthur, and attended by Col. Tyrwhitt, Aide-de camp to the Duke, and Major Flphinstone, R.A., Governor to Prince Arthur, went down to Woolwich yesterday morning, and was present at the breaking up of the Royal Military Academy. 'Their Royal Highnesses entered the garrison at 11 o'clock, and their arrival was announced by a Royal salute at the Greenwich battery. Their Royal Highnesses were received by Major-Gen. E. C.Warde, C. 8., and staff, including the Hon. Col. Devereux, Col. Gard ner, Cola Anderson, Gen. Sir G. Pollock, Sir Peter Brady, K.C.8., Sir G. Douglas, Bart., Major-Gen. Wilford, and numerous other officers. They then proceeded to the Academy grounds, where the whole of the gentlemen cadets were paraded under arms and performed a general salute, the full band of the Royal Artillery playing " God Save the Queen." The company was afterwarts put through a course of manual and platoon exe:cises by Senior Cadets Jacob, Beresford, Arnott, and Buckle, and they were executed in a manner to elicit the Duke's repeated approbation. At the conclusion the Prince and staff proceeded to one of the class rooms, and inspected the landscape and other draw ings, and attended a viva voce examination of the German and French classes. The company was then drawn up in double line at the principal entrance of the establishment, where the Duke addressed the cadets. He had previously heard the statement of the Council of Military Education and the report of the Lieutenant-Governor of the Academy. The former was to the following effect :—His Royal Highness having decided that one-third of the cadets should receive commissions in the Royal Engineers, and two-thirds in the Royal Artillery, the Council have recommended for appointment to the Royal Engineers the 10 highest on the list who are elected for that corps. The remaining gentle . - men cadets, with the exception of Mr. Denny, whose failure the Council regret that it is their duty to report, are recommended for commissions in the Royal Artillery. The list of prizes was as follows : —To Mr. Jacob, for exemplary conduct and dis tinguished proficiency, &c., in first artillery, first fortification, ch.mistry, and practical mathematics (a regulation sword, the Pollock medal, and several other prizes) ; to Mr. Nicholson, for second artil lery ; to Mr. Walker, for second fortification and natural philosophy ; to Mr. Beresford, for first topo graphy ; to Mr. Arnott, for geology ; to Mr. Jekall, for second topography ; to Mr. Crookenden, for first French and first German ; to Mr. Christie, for se cond French ; tl Mr. Rigg, for second German ; to Mr. Stewart, for Hindustani ; to Mr. Setou, for first mathematics and first practical geometry ; to Mr. Haman, for second mathematics ; to the Hon. Mr. Shore, for third fortification ; to Mr. Boyle, for se cond practical geometry ; to Mr. S. Buckle, for first landscape ; and to Mr. Tillotson, for second land scape dra wing. His Royal Highness, in addressing the cadets, referred to the pleasure it gave him in awarding a number of prizes to Mr. Jacob, who, he said, had well merited them by his superior energy and application. The successful recipient, he added, would, no doubt, distinguish himself in future life as his uncle had done, who was now the respected master of the Christ Church schools. He was glad to find that the reports were so exceedingly ab and that the new regula tions favourable which hadro ugh been throughout, introduced tended to such flethou, good results. The advantages which these regu- rations conferred upon them, and which were com patible with their studies, were, he thought, conducive to their general well-being and to the discipline of the establishment. The irregularities which had taken place at Sandhurst, he said, on ex amination he had found to proceed from careless ness more than from intention, and that when young cadets entered the establishment and subscribed to the regulations they fully intended to fulfil their obligations. From a want of energy they some- times fell away from their duty. He was glad that in their contest with Sandhurst the other day at cricket they had come off victors, and he hoped they would do the like next year. He ventured to say that from the result it would be morally impos sible they could be beaten next year, unless Sand hurst succeeded in making any extraordinary pro gress. They had, he said, a number of recreations which had been recently granted to the Academy, and which met with his entire approbation. They were now allowed to smoke. Excess, he told them, even in that privilege would be injurious. It was not the use but the abuse of tobacco which he wished to discourage. He would leave that, he said, to their own good judgment and that of their officers, who would guide them for their good, and to their discretion, and he was sure they would not wilfully run riot. In conclusion, he wished them a happy period of recreation. The Medea, paddle sloop, Commander D'Arcy S. Preston, was paid out of commission yesterday at Portsmouth, after being dismantled and cleared of stores on return to England from service on the West India and North American station. The sailing ship Middlesex, Commander Cammall, R.N.R., belonging to Mr. Geo. Marshall, of London, embarked yesterday alongside Portsmouth dockyard detachments of troops to join service companies of various corps in India, and will sail from Spithead for Calcutta this morning.

George Wilkins, Chaplain of the British and Foreign Sailors' Society, and the Rev. Mr. Armistead, R.N. There wero also a number of ladies present. The noble VICE-PRESIDENT with great clearness and much feeling put before the meeting the objects of the Society, and in a most excellent speech intro duced the secretary, Mr. Lean, who read the report of the committee, wherein it was stated that, during the past year, the society had relieved 4,472 shipwrecked persons, natives, and foreigners of the following nations, viz., America, Austria, France, Hanover, Prussia, Spain, Turkey, and Germany ; and 3,882 widows and orphans of fishermen and mariners, making a total, since the forma tion of the society in 1839 of 139,564 ; that 48,245 mariners voluntarily subscribed 3s. each per annum; that the income had been £16,594 4s. 10d. in connection with which certain large donors were mentioned, viz., Messrs. Coutts and Co., £25 ; the Rt. Hon. and Very Rev. Viscount Middleton, Dean of Exeter, per Hon. Capt. F. Maude, R.N., £25 ; Miss West, £25 ; Society for the Discharge and Relief of Persons Im prisoned for Small Debts, 3d contribution, £3OO ; Edmund Clowes, Esq., in lieu of legacy, £lOO ; the Misses Dorset, of Reading, £5O ; Miss C.

In fulfilment of one of its objects, the encouraging gallant efforts to save life on the high seas and coast of our colo nies, the committee' had awarded during the past year seven gold and silver medals for saving the lives of shipwrecked persons. That one of the gold medals was given to Edward Cleary for swimming with a rope to the Govindpore during the height of the cyclone at Calcutta in October last, by the means of which the whole of the crew were saved, the me dal being presented at Calcuttaby the Lieutenant Governor in the presence of the Viceroy and a large assembly. Tho report also stated that a large and influential public meeting had been held at the Mansion House in April last —the Lord Mayor in the chair—at which meeting the Duke of Marlborough andVice-Admiralthe Earl of Shrews bury and Talbot, C. 8., were elected Vice-Patrons, Mr. Thomas Baring, M.P., President, and the following noblemen and gentlemen, Vice Presidents, viz., Arthur Anderson, Esq., Chairman of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Packet Company ; M. Wolverley Attwood, Esq., Chairman of the General Steam Navigation Company ; Jas. Blyth, Esq. ; Thos. Chapman, Esq. ; the Right Hon. Lord Henry Cholmondeley ; Alderman Dakin ; Alder man Finnis ; Alderman Hale ; Rear Admiral W. H. Hall, C. 8., F.R.S. ; Captain the Hon. Francis Maude, E.N. ; Captain C. E. Mangles, H.C.S. ; Vice Admiral Right Hon. Lord Clarence Paget, M.P. ; William Phillips, Esq. ; Joseph Somes, Esq. ; William Stuart; Esq., and Money Wigram, Esq., with a very influential number of directors, the institution being named the "Bel vedere Institution for Worn-out and Disabled Merchant Seamen," who have no relative ties and to whom a pension would not suffice in the hands of hirelings. To the direc- tora thus appointed the committee had had much pleasure in handing over the tables for a pension fund for worn-out merchant seamen called " The Mariners' National Pension Fund," with an annuity fund for mariners' widows accom panying it, together with the benevolent supplemental fund, by the means of which it is hoped the directors will be able to preserve our worn-out and aged seamen from the work house, either by pensioning them out or by taking them within the walls of the institution (if without wives, &c.) as circumstances direct. The report concluded with an earnest appeal to the no bility, gentry, and public at large, for help to carry out the great objects of the Shipwrecked Mariners' Society, which has 792 honorary agents acting as its representatives round the entire coasts of the United Eingdom, with its central office at Hibernia Chambers, London-bridge, S.E., and ex pressed much confidence that the institution was eminently calculated to bind our seamen and fishermen to their coun try, of which they are its outer and principal wall of de fence. The report was unanimously adopted, and the claims of the institution were very eloquently advocated by several of the above-named speakers. Liverpbol Cotton Market—This Day.

Colonel FRENCH moved that _standing orders 208 and 232 be suspended in the case of the said bill, in order that the bill might be read a third time. Mr. DODSON had no objection to the motion, which was agreed to. On the question being put for the passing of the bill, Sir C. O'LOGHLEN moved the insertion of the follow ing words in the 2d clause :—". Provided that the purchaser or purchasers shall maintain and keep open the railway, so that the same may be used for public traffic." Capt. STACKPOLE said the object of inserting the words was to prevent either the Great Southern and Wes tern Railway or the Dublin, Wexford, and Waterford Rail way. from purchasing the line and closing it altogether against the public, in order to benefit one or other of these railways. Ultimately the amendment was altered to the effect that the purchasers should be under the same obligations as the Bagenalstown Railway Company were at present. The motion of the hon. and learned member (Sir C. O'Loghlen) was then agreed to, and the bill was read a third time. The Consolidation (Appropriation) Bill passed through committee after some remarks from Mr. AUGUSTUS SMITH. The Comptroller of the Exchequer and Public Audit Bill was read a third time and passed. The amendments to the Fire Brigade (Metropolis) Bill were considered, and it was ordered for second reading on Monday. FLEFT SITTING.] Palestine Exploration Fund• A large and influential meeting of those interested in the exploration of Palestine was held yesterday at Willis's Rooms, King-street, St. James's. The Archbishop of York presided. Amongst those present were the Bishop of London, Sir Roderick Murchison, A. H. Layard, Esq., M.P., Professor Owen, Professor Stanley, the Dean of Canterbury, Mr. Hanbury, M.P., Mr. J. A. Smith, M.P., Archdeacon Stan ley, Bishop of Moray and Ross, Lord Stratford de Redeliffe, Count de Vogel, George Grove, Esq., &c. The CHAIRMAN, in a brief address, alluded to the little that was at present known respecting the Holy Land, and he was of opinion that the proposed prosecution of exca vations in Palestine could but result in throwing addi tional light upon the Holy Text. Their object was to in stitute an inductive inquiry : they were not a religious society, and what they proposed to do was to collect all the facts they could concerning the Holy Land, which was of so much importance to every one amongst them. Tho highest person in the land had that day signified her in tention of becoming the patron of the fund, and that fact augured a great success for them. He would not trench upon the ground to bo taken up by others, but with these few observations he would resume his seat. The Bishop of LONDON moved the first resolution, which was to the effect that a fund be formed for the prosecution of explorations in the Holy Land. Viscount STRANOFORD had great pleasure in seconding the !proposition. He had had an opportunity of seeing what had been done by a private individual in that direc tion, and from that he looked forward with great interest to the proposed excavations to be made under the auspi ces of the fund now in course of formation. The resolution was carried unanimously. I 105, 1• f 2 93 :031 41 3! 271 1011 5 41 ITAES. 9 2 1 1 3 SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. HAMPTON RACES-THURSDAY. The Cup Day, so called on the lams a non hand° prin ciple, seeing there is no cup, unless the Queen's Plate can by a pardonable fiction be so called, is always the groat day at Hampton. We do not even remember seeing the Water loo platform more crowded, or Vauxhall and Clapham Junc tion more densely thronged by expectant passengers, hope less, apparently, of reaching Moulsey Hurst to -day, than on t . his occasion. On the course the vast multitude extended ma ny deep down to the half-mile post, and the drags, vans, an d vehicles of all descriptions were more numerous than in pat 't years: Of course the brilliant weather we are now e.njoy ing had much to do with the great gathering. The A :Division were in folio and kept the ground, and we were glad" to see Inspector Tanner's face in the ring —a safe guard. to watches and purses sadly wanted last year. The racing was about on a par with that of yesterday, l ieith.er better nor worse. Figs - sse won the Visitors' Plate very cleverly, and Caller Ou, wbc always comes to Hampton, carried off the Queen's Plate in hollow style from her single opponent, Threadbare. The Man or Plate promised to be an interesting race be tween the tro favourites, Finesse and Vixen, but Lord Annesley's mate was beaten at the distance, and Vixen won very easily. There was a good deal of speculation on the Northumber land Plate in the course of the afternoon, Caller Ou being the favourite, and both Revival and La Toucques being strongly supported. There were also some heavy transac tions booked on the Derby. Betting on that event is, in deed, to many one of the principal attractions at Hampton. The Bushy Plate, of 30 sovs, added to 'a sweepstakes of 5 sovs each ; for all ages ; selling allowances. Half a mile. Mr. E.

Blackbird jumped off in front followed by Fairy Footstep, Concordia, and the rest of the field almost in a line_ At the distance Cannon let her go, and the Fairy Footstep made an effort, she did not succeed in reaching the favourite, who won easily by three-quarters of a length ; three lengths be tween second and third; Czarina was fourth, Lady Wilde fifth, King of Preece and Mary Hill the next two. The winner was bought in for 125 guineas. Fairy Footstep was claimed, and she goes into John Nightingall's stable.

Virtuous jumped away in front with a commanding lead, followed by Skirmish and Sisyphus, was never headed, and won in a canter by three fourths of a length. Three lengths between second and third, Knight of the Whistle was fourth, Flageolet fifth. The last two were Hurrah and Lively Nelly. The winner was sold to Mr. J. Hughes for 125 gs. The Manor Plate (handicap) of 100 soya, for all ages.

Betting-6 to 4 agst Finesse, 9 to 4 agst Vixen, 100 to 30 agst Antoinette, 7 to 1 agst Oueen Bee, 100 to 8 agst any other. Finesse made play for a short distance, followed byVixen, Antoinette, Arabia, and Fravolina, but was soon headed by Vixen, who went on with the running, was never caught, and won very cleverly by three quarters of a length. Arabia finished two lengths behind Finesse, Antoinette was fourth, Fravolina fifth, Queen Bee sixth. Hurrah was the last. other. The lot got away level at the first attempt, but Ozone immediately showed in front, and was closely attended by Xi. This pair raced side by side throughout, andalthough Ozone appeared to have the best of the struggle, Xi ran very game to the end, and made a dead heat with Ozone ; King of Franee was beaten eight lengths from the dead heaters, and Amulet was two lengths behind the third. The stakes were afterwards divided, and Xi walked over. The Manor Cup (Handicap) of 100 sovs in specie, added to a sweepstakes of 5 soya each ; winners extra. One mile.

NORTHUMBERLAND PLATE. 3to 1 agst Caller Ou (offered, take 4to 1) 7 to 1 agst La Toucques (takers) Bto 1 aged Brown Bread (taken and offered) SERIOUS MILITARY AFFRAY.—A rather serious affair has just been brought under the attention of the Berks county police. It appears that on the Ascot Cup day Corporal Brown, of the Ist battalionColdstream Guards, was on the race-course with some of his companions, and while there a gentleman who had been rather lucky in his winnings treated the soldiers to c hampagne and other re freshments, and before he quitted their company gave them some money, which the corporal took charge of. The cor poral and his comrades then left the course to return to their barracks at Windsor, and nothing more seems to have been heard of the party till the Friday morning, when it is stated the corporal was found in Queen Anne's Ride in a drunken condition by two soldiers of the Ist Life Guards. They left him, and he was nest seen by one of his com rades, and at two o'clock was again found by some of the Life Guards. He was able to walk to the military infir mary, when it was found th at the poor fellow had received a fracture of the skull, about two inches long, from which the brain protruded. In the course of the day he became insensible. He states that the wound was inflicted by ono of his comrades, while, it is supposed, they were returning through Windsor Great Park ; and that the corporal and another man fought with their belts or bayonets, espe cially as another soldier is confined to the barracks from a wound in his head. Yesterday morning it was feared that the affair would terminate fatally, and it was thought advisable for a magistrate to proceed to the military hos pital tci . take the corporal's depositions ; but he being better in health the depositions were not taken. 4istrict inquiry will doubtless be made by the military autilgat4s. Mr. LAYAILD then moved the second resolution, which was to the effect that excavations of the nature proposed would tend to throw a light upon the archaeology of the Jewish people. No country should be of so much interest to us as that in which the documents of our Faith were written, and the momentous events they describe enacted. At the same time no country more urgently required illustration. The face of the landscape, the climate, the productions, the manners, dress, and modes of life of its inhabitants, differ in so many material respects from those of the western world, that without an accurate knowledge of them it is not too much to say the outward form and complexion of the events and much of the signi ficance of the records must remain more or less obscure. Even to a casual traveller in the Holy Land the Bible be comes, in its form and therefore to some extent in its sub stance, a new book. The Sultan, he felt assured, would give every facility, and he hoped the Government would contribute towards their fund. Count VOGEL, the eminent French traveller, said he had great pleasure in seconding the resolution moved by Mr. Layard. All that was on the surface in Palestine and the Holy Land had been thoroughly examined, but the trea sures that were at present hidden beneath the surface remained for the excavators to bring to light. There must be nothing of a national or ecclesiastical feel ing about the matter. What they had to do was to collect the facts and lay aside the details. He felt the proceedings would be worthy of the free country whose air he was so happy in breathing that day for the first time. (Cheers.) The resolution was carried. The Right Rev. Chairman then read the following list of names as those forming the committee :—Patron, her Majesty.

MILLER, Chief Caohier, June 22, 1565. EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF HYDROPHOBIA.— About three months ago Robert Patteson, aged 13 years, a son of Mr. Samuel Patteson, of the Bowers, Strat ford, was bitten by their own house-dog on the right hand. Ever since the boy was bitten he has had an idea that ho would go mad. Caustic was applied to the wounded part, and every means taken to destroy the effects of the poison. On Monday last symptoms of hydrophobia presented themselves, and on Tuesday he became com pletely rabid, and at the bare mention of buttermilk and water was thrown into convulsions• He lingered in the greatest-agony till yesterday evZi. ls3 S+ T'Lell death put an end to his gulatipas. - ness ,on . her ;ter. and isili iieE 3 li ner [ow' , il ess :nor, [lO t o last xl by tit hi 3 fro"' an d 001 - 000 gso 2.1.0 2.14.6 3.4.0 2.7.0 2. 3.6 9.10.6 601 all 1.1.0 7.8.3 8.13 1.18.0 4.3.0 214 3 322 s.lo.fi 2.8 7.1.6 10.6.7 18.18 91 :t0.17 6 {.,x.~~ 123} } 9 , 62} 3 142 j } 135 112} } 74 101 k 4 1041 5 19f 19 11l i 1011 102 E 6 ~~1 1
