For notices of this startling work see the "Saturday Re view" of April 1, entitled "Quacks and Quackery ;" the " Weekly Dispatch" of April 9, " The Quacks and their Crimes "The Sun" of April 12, "'Detector's' Broadside on Quacks and Quackery." GUIDE TO THE QUACKS OF LONDON. A Series of Papers relative to Quacks, which appeared in the " Medical Circular," with the signature of "Detector," has been republished in the form of a short pamphlet. The reader of " Punch" should read this pamphlet also. He has often read, in the pages of "Punch," of certain Quacks, frau dulent and noisome, who obtain money by false pretences, and more money by menaces and, -extortion, from green young men. For their names, which "Punch" would not advertise, he has referred his readers to the lower corner of the advertising columns of low newspapers, amongst which too many of liar.'• Punch's" contemporaries, especially in the country, may still be enumerated. But now he begs to pub lish the information that a nominal list of these miscreants, with copies of their puffs and other particulars concerning them, needful to be known, will be found in the pamphl• t above referred to, which is entitled "Revelations of Quacks and Quackery," and is to be had at the "Medic rl Circular " Office, 20, Ring William-street, Strand, W.O. The vile practices, the monstrous impudence, the cruel rapacity, and the enormous gains of the obscene tribe of Quacks, the mischief they do, the ruin they work, even to the causation of suicide, are fully set forth in "Revelations of Quacks and Qackery." And mark especially that, as aforesaid, the names of the Quacks are publishe•l. The pamphlet in question thus constitutes a regular Quack Di rectory, by consulting which every young man may know where he may go if he wishes to get plundered and destroyed. Buy, therefore, reader, by all means buy " Revelations of Quacks and Quackery." Its contents will astonish and amuse you, whi'e they invoke your indignation and disgust. Of course you do not want it on account of its warnings for your own Fake, but you doubtless do for that of the many simple tons with whom you must be acquainted, if your acquaint.. ance is large. " Who are the Quacks that 'Punch' means 2" Consider what it is to he able to answer this question of the young and inexperienced, and, for charity's sake, if for no other, go and provide yourself with "Revelations of Quacks and Quackery," by Detector.—Punch, April 12.

The staging recently built up by Mr. Furness on the north-east side of Waterloo-bridge, between the bridge and the steam-boat landing, for the purliose of continuing the Thames Embankment works, gave way yesterday morning, at about nine o' clock, and seven men were thrown into the water. They were, however, happily rescued. The staging as it stood before the accident was in the shape of a parallelogram about 40 feet by 15, along side of a smaller parallelogram 40 feet by 6, or thereabouts, which latter still stands unbroken. Planks lay upon the top from either end to a cross beam in the middle ; but these planks were unsup ported for a length of more than 20 feet. On the planks were two " coffee-pot engines," small en gines with cranes, which the men had been working during the morning to lift sand and concrete from barges. They had just emptied one of the barges, which put off with its four men in it, when the staging, heaped up high with sand and concrete, bearing one of the engines and a pile-driving ma chine, together with the workmen, their timber and tools, was seen to waver and shake. The cross piece, the only support to the planks, which had to bear this great weight, snapped off on either side close to the beams which supported it. Immediately afterwards the planks fell with the workmen and sand, one of the engines toppled over into a caisson topsy-turvy, and rested there, blowing off the steam. The pile-driving machine fell towards Somerset house, and swung, broken and dangerous, on the still standing framework of the staging. A crowd of workmen with their boats and ropes and hooks came from the other parts of the works, and in a very short time all the men in the water were rescued alive. But for some time afterwards the foremen were under the impression that one man, who went by the name of " Clogs," was still missing, and the dragsmen laboured for some time to find him. They fished up an oil-can, a bag of nails, and a number of other things that had fallenfrom the staging, but found nothing else, and then it was said that all the men were safe, and they discontinued dragging. The men rescued were taken to Charing-cross Hospital, where they were placed under the care of Mr. E. Child, the house-surgeon. Their names and injuries were as follow :—John Tanner, 30, labourer, residing at No. 2, Noah's Ark-place, Stangate, severe bruises ; Robert Gardner, 40, labourer, No. 3, Sidway-place, Broadwall, Lam beth, a slight concussion ; John Westcott, 40, labourer, 6, Broad-street, Cornwall-road, Lambeth, scalp-wound ; and William Cook, 11, Hopkins street. The wound of Westcott was dressed by Mr. Child, and he was sent home, but no injury could be discovered on Cook, though he seemed to be much shaken by the fall. He was likewise sent to his home. The other two men are detained at the hospital, but are not considered in danger. STRANGE, IF TRUE.—It Was currently rumoured in Darlington on Friday (says the Darlington Times) that a man, named Ralph Morrell, well-known amongst the lowest class of the population of Darlington, had, while labouring under a fit of insanity, made admission connect ing him criminally with the sudden disappearance of a gentleman, named Richardson, about five years ago. Mr. Richardson was on a visit to Darlington fair, about that period, and was seen late at night in the Mill Entry, near the river, but was not seen alive afterwards. At that time much sensation was created by the mysterious circum stances, it being pretty generally believed that foul play of some kind had been used, so that the property the gentle man was thought to have in his possession at the time had proved too strong a temptation for some unscrupulous ruffians. Morrell, after being taken to the Darlington Workhouse, has been removed thence to the lunatic asylum at Sedgofield, whore ho at present remains. It is expected he will recover in a few days, and then it will bo seen whether the affair will assume a more serious aspect than it now presents. THE GALE AT WAKEFIELD.--During Monday neight and Tuesday morning a heavy storm of wind broke over this town, and committed great damage to property. In Westgate a handsbme and commodious drill-shed and armoury for the local rifle corps was in course of erection. Tho woodwork for the roof had been fixed in its place, and though it was of 60 feet span, and therefore of great strength, and bound together by strong bands of iron, it and a great portion of the brickwork were blown down, thus entailing a loss of some hundreds of pounds upon the contractors. Other buildings in course of erection have also been blown down, many trees in the neighbourhood uprooted, and much damage done to business premises by the storm.

H. Taylor, R.N.R., one of Messrs. Green's Blackwall-fleet, arrived at Spithead yesterday morning from Calcutta. She sailed from Calcutta on the 3d of February, called at Madras on the 15th of the same month, and sailed thence again on the 26th. She arrived at the Cape on the 11th of April, touched at St. Helena on the 22d, and crossed the Equator on the 30th of April. Light and baffling winds were experienced throughout the passage until a week before the ship anchored at Spithead. During this week she ran 1,800 miles. The offiders and troops brought home by the Re nown consist of Major Roberts, V.C., R.A., Major Napper, H.M.N.A., Capt. Coulson, Rifle Brigade, Lieut. Douglas, R.A., Lieut. Lee, 38th Regiment, 300 time-expired men from various regiments serving in India, six soldiers' wives, and four chil dren. The Rev. Mr. Woodington died on board on the 3d of March ; three soldiers also died on the passage. The Renown was towed into Portsmouth harbour yesterday afternoon, and will disembark her troops at the dockyard this morning, imme diately after which she will sail for London, for which port she has a general Indian cargo. The East India ship Winchester, Coinmander G. V. Gideon, arrived at Spithead yesterday afternoon, with time-expired men and the left wing of the 48th Regiment on board, from Calcutta, sailing from that port on the 12th of February, and calling at St. Helena on the 20th of April. The troops on board • comprised the left wing of the 48th Regiment, Major J. R. Lovett in command ; Capt. and Mrs. Drought, Capt. and Mrs. Castle and two children, Lieuts. Brown and Vandeleur, Assist.-Surg. Grant ; En signs Talbot, Ryland, Tyron, and M'Laughlin ; 14 sergeants, 10 corporals, 3 drummers,. 223 privates, 9 soldiers' wives, and 4 children, with 91 time expired men, in charge of Captain Marshall, 19th Regiment. The following were private passengers —viz., Captain Boulger, 20th ; Captain Monteith, 38th ; Dr. and Mrs. Warr, Queen's Bays, &c. The time-expired men will be disembarked this morning from the ships at Spithead, immediately after which she proceeds to Dover, where the left wing of the 49th land to join headquarters, the Winchester going on thence to London to deliver a valuable cargo of indigo. Major Lovett and the other mili tary officers on board, on the arrival of the ship at Spithead, expressed in the warmest terms their satisfaction at the accommodation that had been afforded them and the troops under their command, and the attention that had been paid to their wants during the voyage home by Commander G. V. Gideon, his officers, and crew. Four soldiers and two seamen died on the passage homo. The Charybdis, 21, screw corvette, Capt. Tur nour, arrived from the Pacific, sailed yesterday from Spithead for Sheerness, where she is ordered to be dismantled and paid out of commission. Since the Pembroke, 60, 1,758 tons, 200 horse power, flagship of Commodore A. P. Ryder, Con troller-General of the Coastguard, has been taken into dock at Sheerness, she has been surveyed by the master shipwright and the chief engineer's staff, and found to require some heavy repairs before she is again fit for service. The whole of her guns, shot, shell, and other War Department stores have been unshipped and placed in stores at Chatham pending orders from the Admiralty as to the ultimate in tentions with regard to her. The screw corvette Miranda, 15, 250 horse power (nominal), Capt. R. Jenkins, C. 8., is nearly dis mantled, and has been placed in the steam basin, where she is returning her stores preparatory to be ing paid into the third division of the steam reserve in the Medway on Saturday next. She has been in commission four years and eight months, during which she has been attached to the Australian squa dron. The Miranda will require a heavy outlay for repairs before she is again placed in commission. The following appointments and promotions have been made at the Admiralty :—Lieut. Chas. R. T. Russell to the Excellent, for service in the Royal Sovereign ; Jas. Jones, promoted to engineer ; Geo. G. Smith, promoted to first-class assist.-engineer ; Wm. C. S. Hyne, clerk to the Scout ; and James Tulloch, clerk, to the Dauntless. PRICE 4d. STAMPED sd. time occupied, as the charge had to be withdrawn by the ramrod in each instance. The cartridges are of paper, and, of course, are discharged with the The Henry rifle has a bore of .577, the largest of the three, and takes the Enfield bullet. The charge of powder is 72 grains. The diagram of the taro.ot did not show such accuracy as that taken after the GO rounds from the Westley Richards rifle, but the smaller bore of the latter gives it an obvious advan tage. In testing for rapidity of firing, 106 shots were fired in the first round (6 more than required), and tho time occupied was 8 min. 57 sec., with three misses. In the second round the time was 7 min. 15 sec., with no miss ; and in the third, 8 min. 15 sec., without a single missfire. The cart ridges for this rifle are contained in a stout paper tube, having a metal end, in the centre of which is the igniting principle, enclosed in a small copper case, which is struck by the hammer. The tube is withdrawn by the action of the lock in preparing to reload. Such are the general results of the competition, but the decision of the council cannot be arrived at until the diagrams have been fully prepared. It is probable, however, that a decision will be published to-morrow. One of the rules by which the competition was regulated was as follows : " The, mere figure of merit shall not necessarily entitle a competitor to the prize, which will be awarded by the council to such rifle as shall, in their opinion, combine accu racy with other elements of efficiency, so as to be of the greatest merit and utility for military pur poses. Should no rifle be found to attain the stan dard which, in the opinion of the council, is neces sary for efficiency and serviceableness as a military rifle, the prize will not be awarded." The Irish International Exhibition, (From the Tunes Correspondent.) The machinery department of the Exhibition occupies the extreme right of the building, and is divided into the "at rest" and "in motion" courts, in neither of which are the arrangements as com plete as could be desired, some English and Scotch machinists being late in fulfilling their agreements. A few weeks may elapse before the machines now in course of erection are fitted up. Although a large space was devoted to machinery it was found not at all equal to the requirements of exhibitors, and, in consequence, all the agricultural and horticultural implements are exhibited on the premises of the Royal Dublin Society in Kildare-street. These com prise a numerous and interesting collection, but they excite comparatively little attention, partly in consequence of their isolation from the Exhibition itself. The "in motion" court presents the most attractive features. It:is for the most part connected with cotton, linen, and woollen manufactures, and is generally of the most improved kind. Immedi ately within the left entrance the workmen are still busy erecting the large pumping engine for supply ing the building with water, working the fountains in the gardens, and sending hot air through the flues. The work is still very backward. The engine is be ing erected by Messrs. Easton, Amos, and Co., of London, and will be worked by Messrs. Grendon and Co., of Balbriggan. One of the great wants of this country in connection with the extension of manufactures—namely, cheap fuel, is sought to be provided for by a firm who exhibit their models hero. Mr. John Hackworth, of Darlington, whose name is well known in connection with locomotives, exhibits a high-pressure horizontal engine, with models of the sections, the peculiar property of which is to expand the steam on a principle of its own, and thus acquire greater power at a decreased consumption of fuel. Mr. Jas. C. Kay, of Bury, Lan cashire, also exhibits, in the next section, a horizon - - tal condensing steam engine, in which the same re sult is sought to be obtained. It works with patent safety valves, and the result is greater durability and freedom from accidents, economy in fuel, and a re duction in the amount of labour required to keep the engines in working condition from the smaller liability to friction. These improvements are obtained by the patented valves, which are adapted to any construction of engine, whether beam, horizontal, or vertical, or with high or low pressure or steam. En gines possessing desiderata such as these will receive the attention they deserve from all manufacturers using steam power. The woollen manufacture of Ireland is represented by Messrs. F. and R. Scott, of Island-bridge Mills, who exhibit a perfect set of improved carding machines at work, constructed by Mr. J. Tatham, of Rochdale. All the processes undergone by wool, from its raw state until it passes out of the weaver's hands, are here illustrated prac tically, and attract much attention, a considerable space being allotted to the firm, which carries on a large export trade in connexion with the manufac ture of this texture. The linen goods, the staple commodity of Ulster, next demand attention. There are several machines exhibited in connexion with its manufacture. Messrs. Robert Hay and Sons (late Mr. Win. Dargan), of Chapelizod Mills, in the vicinity of this city, have a complete set of machines for the preparing and spinning of flax, in full work, the preparing ma chines being supplied by Messrs. Fairbairn, of Leeds,. and Farmer and Broughton, of Salford ; the spinning machines being manufactured by Messrs. Boyd and Co., of Belfast. Though the Ulster spin ners have sent in large quantities of linen goods for exhibition, there aro but few machines exhibited by them. Mr. W. Friedlander, of Londonderry, and Messrs. Rowan and Sons, of Belfast, have sent in rival scutching machines, the respective merits of which will be tested, probably, in the course of the summer. They are made by Messrs. Dobson and Barlow, of Bolton, and Messrs. Rowan. Last year, at the exhibition of Irish manufactures, a trial match took place between five scutching machines by diffe rent makers ; but the result was unsatisfactory, the Ulster men appointed as umpires deciding that none of them met all the requirements of the growers. This year the trial will be made on somewhat diffo• rent terms, and is looked forward to with much in terest, the agriculturists of the south and west of Ireland, who are endeavouring to extend the growth of flax, being anxious to secure the best machine. A large space has been very judiciously allotted to the improved cotton machines exhibited and worked by Messrs. Dobson and Barlow, of Bolton, and which form an interesting feature in this depart ment. Several newly patented improvements are here shown, for the first time, to the public. By a new arrangement in the self-acting mule afar better quality of yarn is produced. This firm exhibit their " patent improved cotton gin," which turns out very considerably more work with much less labour than the ordinary gins. It is adapted for long or short stapled cotton, and constructed so as to suit parti cularly the fibre grown in India. It is expected that an important trial will be made during the summer with the cotton gins with a view to ascertain the best fitted for the Indian growers, the experiment to take place under Government superintendence. The object sought for is a machine that will best clear the cotton of India of seed and waste matter before exportation, and thus lower the cost of transit as much as possible in order to enable Indian cultiva tors to compete with growers nearer home. The other machines include a very miscellaneous collection. Mr. Sturgeon, of Leeds, exhibits a patent steam-hammer with a self-acting and self adjusting valve motion and embracing several im provements. The hammer itself weighs 1 cwt., hut strikes a blow equal to 21 tons. Mr. William D. Grimshaw, of Mitcham, has among other articles an ct improved atmospheric hammer," simple in its contrivance, and cheap, and completely under the control of the worker as to speed and weight of blow. It is worked at a considerably less consump tion of power than the ordinary steam-hammer. Mr. Robinson, of Bridgewater, has a neat and effec , two mak-cleaner, capable of thoroughly cleandug SCIENTIFIC AND ORNAMENTAL PRESENTS.

Trial of Rifles at Woolwich, A premium of £lOO was some time since offered by the National Rifle Association to gunmakers and others, for "the most efficient and serviceable breech-loading rifle," and yesterday having been fixed upon as the day on which the competition should take place, the locality being the Govern ment practice range at Woolwich Arsenal, many gentlemen connected with the association, or inte rested in the subject, assembled at the range. The principal conditions were that the minimum bore of each rifle should be .450, and that it should take the gauge plug provided by the council from muzzle to breech. The minimum length of the barrel was fixed at 2ft. 9in., and 3ft. 3in. as maximum, but makers were at liberty to choose their own form and material. The pull of the trigger was fixed at a minimum of 61b. ; and the weight at 911 b., full stocked, with metal ramrods and military sights. Mechanically-fitting ramrods were prohibited. The cartridges were to contain their own means of igni tion, and it was also intimated that, as far as pos sible, cartridges should not occupy greater space in bulk than the present Enfield ammunition. Yesterday only three rifles complying with these conditions were produced ; one by Mr. Henry, one by Mr. Westley Richards, and a third, by Mr. Joslyn, an American. A Mount Storm rifle, one by Mr. Daws, and another by a German maker were withdrawn, or at least were not competed with. The weather was as unfavourable for accurate shooting as could possibly be conceived, for the wind blew half a gale across the marsh ; but as the gun makers did not object to compete under the circum stances, of course no opposition was offered by the representatives of the National Rifle Association. The force of the wind was, however, so great that on firing the first trial shots (five being allowed to each competitor), the bullets hit the wrong target, although the rifles were laid with great accuracy, and were fired from fixed mechanical rests. Shoot ing began about noon, and by the conditions which regulated the trials 20 rounds were fired from each rifle at 800 yards as a test of accuracy, and after wards 100 from the shoulder as fast as the rifle could be loaded and discharged. The tests were repeated until each competitor had fired 60 rounds for accu racy and 300 rounds for rapidity. The Joslyn rifle is .510 in bore, and takes a charge of 70 grains of powder. It has seven grooves, with one turn in 3ft. The bullet is 480 grains in weight. In the trial of this rifle for accuracy of firing, the first 20 shots all fell short, and did not reach the target, probably from a want of proper elevation. Of the second 20 10 hit, but were all to the left and high. In the third round the whole of the 20 were hits, but were widely scattered about. In the trials for rapid firing, the first 100 rounds were fired in 9 min. 7 sec., the second 100 in 8 min., and the third in 7 min. 20 sec.—a gradual diminution of time attributable to the man who fired becoming more and more accustomed to the weapon. It is to bo remarked in favour of this rifle that there was no missfire throughout the 360 rounds. The powder and ball are contained in a copper tube, the ignit ing medium being at the end, and on being struck by the hammer the explosion ensues. The copper tube is pre tinted from entering the rifle by a rim at the base, and is withdrawn previous to reloading. The Westley Richards rifle has a bore of .450, and is fired with 70 grains of powder. The 60 shots for accuracy were well aimed, and in each case there was a good diagram. The first 100 shots for rapi dity were fired in 11 min. 43 sec., and there were two misses. The second 100 rounds occupied 12 min. 28 sec., with three missfires and one broken cartridge. The third 100 rounds occupied 15 min. 35 Aec., with 14 wizses, which accounts for the long Now ready, boards, price is. kl., IFFITS ; a Collection of the Best Tales contri buted to "Temple Bar," " Once a Week," " Cham bers's Journal," &o.

A novel self-acting machine, constructed by Messrs', Southell and Heap, of Staleybride, for securing the soles and paring and glazing the heels of boots and shoes, is worked by Mesrs. M‘Do - well and Son, of this city, who have purchased it. It works with rapidity and success, and is regarded with much interest. " Sketchlcy's universal joiner," worked by Messrs. Beardwood and Son, and the wood working machines shown by Noble and Collier, awl Charles l'owis and Co., of London, possess many commendable features. Letterpress and lithograph printing is represented by two firms, the Official Printing Company of Dublin, and Messrs. Hughes and Kimber, the . latter firm working Iluguet's patent French lithographic gripper. All the machines used are small and neat, adapted to general work, but possessing no very remarkable features. Messrs. Smythe and Co., of Balbriggan, have two stocking-weaving machines at work— hosiery, a trade for which Balbriggan has acquired no little fame. The machines are an old and an improved one, illustrating the advances made in this manufacture. The new machine weaves two, while the old only produces one stocking at a time. They were manufactured by Messrs. S. and J. Ward, of Nottingham. Messrs. Edmundson and Co., of Capel-street, Dublin, exhibit an interesting lot of novel machinery, including ' Lenoir's Gas Engine,' with a newmotive power, in which gas and a galvanic battery are the chief agents. They have also their portable apparatus for the manufacture of gas in isolated buildings, and ' Handcock's Butter Puri fier,' for restoring butter preserved with salt to its original freshness. The latter is simple, and appears to effect its object without much difficulty. Messrs. Courtney and Stephens, of Dublin, exhibit a large and powerful punching machine, specimens of rail way materials, and a large slide valve pump and engine, which work very successfully. In the Machinery (at rest) Court are a large num ber of specimens of railway materials in various stages of manufacture, shown by a number of exhi bitors. Fried Krupp, of Essen, Rhenish Prussia, has a very interesting collection of cast-steel rails, plates, and wheels, and two rifled cannon, one of which is of large calibre. The toughness of one of the rails has been tested by having it completely doubled over twice without snapping. The Rotheram Ironworks Company, Yorkshire, have also sent railway wheels, tires, and axles ; and improved permanent ways are exhibited by Mr. G. E. Dering, of Welwyn, Hertfordshire. The Dublin and Wicklow Railway Company exhibit a very fine locomotive manufactured by Messrs. Neilson and Co., of Glasgow. All the railway materials seem excellent. Messrs. William Muir and Co., of Glasgow, ex hibit foot lathes, slotting machines, and an im proved driller, and D. and J. Greig several admira ble machines in connexion with printing and book binding. One stand in this court deserves notice, that of Mr. W. 11. Ward, of New York, who ex hibits several neat models of inventions in con nection with railways and steamboats that have recently been the subject of some discussion. They include a patent safety saloon and air-spring car riage, supplied with hand and self-acting brakes, ventilators, and alarm-bell arrangements, contrived on an ingenious plan. Ward's system of fog and flag signals at sea aro illustrated, and appear fea sible. The same exhibitor shows a patent bullet machine, " capable of delivering 60,000 bullets per hour of any serviceable, pattern." Models of a simple and effective railway turn-table and of a shell moulding machine are also exhibited, and attract considerable notice. Some of these inven tions have already had substantial recognition of their merits, and all deserve consideration. The most remarkable Works "o `'art froiri - Rorao and Italy have been already noticed in their places in the general collections of statues and pictures. There are many other things in the Roman and Italian Courts that will arrest and repay the atten tion of the visitor by the pleasure and instruction which the examination of them will impart. Cardinal Autonelli has sent a cameo, in white pietra dura on a dark ground, representing St. George and the Dragon, by Lanzy. From the Government establishment of chrome-lithography we have chromo-lithographic reproductions of the early Christian monuments, with plates of the universal history of the Church, and a reliquary executed in 1864 from the design of Commendatori Poletti. Earnesto Pieret exhibits a collection of cameos, intaglios, &c., by Girometti Martini and other eminent artists, contained in three frames. The Minister of Finance and Treasurer-General of his Holiness has sent a portfolio containing 68 proofs of the best engravings, executed by the chief Roman engravers, after the most celebrated paintings of the great masters ; seventeen proofs of outline en gravings from paintings in the chapel of Pope Nicholas, V., with several other collections, among which is a volume containing 45 engravings in out line of the most admired fragments of Greek, Roman, and 15th century sculpture. There is also in this department an album containing portraits of all the Popes, from St. Peter to the present Pontiff, from tho basilica of St. Paul's, beyond the walls ; also the flowers of antique sculpture album, containing 55 photographs, with descriptions by Commenda tori, with several minor collections. The Secretary of the building of St. Peter's sends some of the mosaic works of the Vatican. There is a large mosaic picture of St. Peter, after the original by Guido; also a representation of the Madonna ; a statuette representing Nydnia, the blind girl of Pompei ; a small mosaic picture of the Roman Forum, another of the Pantheon, and a third of the Temple of Vesta. The Kingdom of Italy bears a very distinguished part in the Exhibition. She has furnished no less than 80 statues, from 40 of her best artists. It is needless to add that the names of Lombardi, Ben zoni, Jacometti, Giacomo, Salvatori, Galletti, and a dozen more Italian names, belong to Italy, though their productions are exhibited in the Roman de partment ; so that the whole of the Central Court may be regarded as an illustration of Italian genius, which still leads Europe in the fine arts. The statue of " the Reading Girl," by Professor Kugeri, of Milan, is the admiration of every visitor. Pan diani's " Camilla," "the Governess," by Rigamonti, Lazzorini's three statues— " the Teacher," " the Nymph going to Bathe," and " Vanity "—are ad mirably executed, the marble being of the mcipt costly d escr iption. Verdi's " Spring" i s a very fi ne specimen of the professor's skill, and Coechi's ti y oung Michael Angelo carving the Head of a Faun," his first work, is considered a masterpiece in statuary. Among the Italian contributions there is some deficiency in oil and watercolour painting, but I am assured that about ninety pictures, both of the old and modern painters, are expected in a few. days. There are, however, some gems ,of the old masters. There is a fine collection of bronzes, coins, and medals, exhibit e d b y Si gno i J oe t, a gentleman from Reggio del l'Amelia, who spent a large fortune and many years of his life in forming a museum, such as is seldom possessed by a private individual, and which is a credit to the country to which the exhi bitor belongs. In the lower part of the Italian Court the splen did mosaics, both in marble and wood, from Flo rence, attract the attention of every visitor. Signor Bazzanti's tables in pietra dura are jewels that can not be easily surpassed. Fortuna's ebony cabinet, inlaid with ivory, with a copy of the " Dance of Cupids," painted by Albano ; Gargiulo's inlaid mosaic table in wood, Gatti's inlaid furniture, Mon teneri's mosaics in wood, and Severia's ebony table and ebony cabinet inlaid with ivory, representing Middle-age costumes, are all highly -finished works, showing to what a degree of perfection this art has been carried in Italy. Boni's frames, chimney pieces, statues, busts, and ornaments deserve par ticular attention. The Royal Mining Institution of Italy exhibits a collection of minerals, among which there is some gold from the Valley of Aosta. Tho Minisber of Public Instruction has sent a col lection of educational books, forming a complete set, from the primary instruction to the highest branches of literature and ficience.
