Sympathising with our gracious Queen, we are disposed to support any project for preserving the memory of him whose less she steadfastly deplores, but the proposed Hall of Arts and Sciences seems to be a preposterous undertaking. " Hall of Science" the edifice will never be, ~xcept in name ; " Hall of Arts," in the South Kensington sense, it it maybe; llall of Public Entertainnientit assuredly will be. We surmise that the result of the semi commercial speculation which her Majesty has been induced to patronise will be nothing more than a chartered Crystal Palace, where possibly a scientific Blondin may one clay lecture on unstable equilibrium, and a scientific pyrotechnist display before an enlightened audience the striking effects produced by the combustion of certain ele ments combined in definite proportions. Com mercial enterprise will not be slow b provide such light fare when the public mind rejects more sub stantial food. The building will be admirably adapted for shows of an attractive character, but for purely scientific purposes it *ill be utterly useless. An ordinary lecture could not be heard in this South Kensington Coliseum, and such experi ments as we are accustomed to see at the Royal Institution would be invisible to nine-tenths of the people for whom seats will be provided.— Laboratory. PERIODICAL PIIENONENA. , M. Quetelet, director of the Observatory at Brussels, has, for more than 20 years, been engaged in extending to every order of facts the study of periodical phenomena, a study hitherto exclusively confined to astronomy and meteorology. While the earth pursues its regular course along its orbit, the change of season produced by this annual revolution leads to the renewal of various well-known pheno mena, such as the development of plant, the hatching of certain insects, the migration of various species of animals, &c. By simultaneously observing all such phenomena at many places, very curbus laws might be discovered. A single plant might afford useful information. We have traced on our globe, for in stance, what are called isothermal lines, that is, those along which the average temperature is the same ; why could not synchronous hues be traced in regard to vegetation ? At Pub, let us say, a given plant left to itself will put forth its leaves on the Ist of May ; what are the placeswhere this phe nomenon generally occurs at the sam2 period? We may at once observe that the line connecting all these places will not be a terrestrial parallel, since the phenomenon in a great measure kends on mois ture and temperature ; it may occur earlier in a fiat than in a hilly country ; in one protected from the northern winds than in one exposed to them, &c. ; and it will then be interesting to see whether the synchronous line coincides or not with the isother mal one. Again, will the former one, determined in regard to the production of the leaves, be the same as that which may be determined in regard to the blossoming of the same plant? The line of the latter phenomenon would constitute an isanthemic line. Lastly, will fructification take place equally on the same line, or will the isoporic one be different from the isanthenzic one ? So much for plants : it is evident similar researches rniglt be instituted for the insect and animal world generally, and even for social phenomena of periodical occurrence. The vast field of inquiry thus opened cannot but interest all thinking minds. THE LIFEGUARDSMAN AT KNIGHTS- BRIDGE. A curious case was heard on Wednesday at the Marylebone County Court. The plaintiff, ado - mestic servant, sued defendant for the sum of £5, which she had - lent him two or three years ago, while he was a private in the 2d Life Guards at Knightsbridge. She had accidentally become acquainted with him, and, as he represented him self to be only a poor private and " hard-up," she acted very generously towards him. They frequented music halls and other places of amuse ment, she paying the whole expenses. Meeting him in the park one day she asked for the £5, and ne said he would pay her as soon as he could, but afterwards he denied having had any loan from her at all. She had no written acknow ledgment of the debt, and no one was present when she lent the money. She afterwards heard that he had £lOO in the bank at the very time when she lent the money. In answer to the judge as to whether he was not ashamed of himself to lire upon the hard-earned wages of a domestic servant, de fendant said the other Life Guardsmen did it. When servants walked out with soldiers they knew they had to pay. Oa one occasion plaintiff asked him to bring another soldier to meet her and a fellow-servant at Hyde Park-corner, in order to go down together to II unpton r3ces. lle and a cor poral went down with the two girls ill a " drag" to the race 3. Neither he nor the corporal paid the expenses. He supposed the girle made that all right. Plaintiff, he admitted, had treated him in the most generous manner, but he denied receiving £5 as a loan. The Judge, in non-suiting the plaintiff on the ground that she had no direct corroborative evidence, said he was glad the in habitants of Knightsbridge were making an effort to remove the cavalry barracks from their neigh bourhood, on account of the intolerable demoralisa tion they caused. If plain tiff could get additional evidence lie would be glad to hear it. As for the defendant, he ought to be ashamed of himself. "The defendant," says the Times, " slunk out of court with a broad grin on his features, greatly to the disgust of those present." THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY BRITISH.

G@LDBERRY V. BUACK. In this case, which was tried before Mr. Justice Lush and a common jury yesterday, a verdict was . returned for the plaintiff for over £IJ. It appeared that the plaintiff had purchneed some goods, and according to the statement of the defendant, she, not having the entire money to pay for them, she applied to her to make her an advance, and that she lent her £2O, taking some of the goods as a security. The plaintiff alleged that the goods were sold to her, and the action was brought to recover the difference between the account given her and their value. The defendant, who is a laxly, and spoke with a foreign accent, applied to the court in person this :norning for a new trial, on the ground that she !iad a person who could give material evidence in her behalf. The Lord Chief-Justice explained to her that she must have an affidavit to that effect, and that the court would most probibly grant her rule. Mr. Justice Lush, who was present, stated that an attorney had entered an appearance for the lady, bat refused to proceed further with the case, as she did not supply him with the necessary funds. BAIL COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Lush and a Common Jury.) STACY V. FORTH AND WIFE. Mr. Burch appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. J. 0. Griffiths for the defendants. This was au action brought by the plaintiff, who is a milliner, carrying on business at Weston- Super-Mare, and the action was brought for goods supplied to the female defendant. The defendant plea ling denying the debt, and stating that the female defendant was a minor' when she obtained the goods, to which the plaintiff replicated, alleging that the articles were necessaries, and such as the rank of life in which the lady moved justified her in supplying her with. Mr. Burch opened the case. The female de fendant was the wife of Captain Firth, who resides at Weston-super-Mare, was highly con nected, and to all appearance a gentleman of good means. In June, 1855 and 1856, she was living at the house of a lady and gentleman named Wynd ham Lewis, persons of large fortune, and had a residence and estate near Weston-super-Mare, and Captain Frith was in the habit of meeting them frequently. lie became attached to the female defendant, whose maiden name was Sharland. Mrs. Lewis having died in 1866 Mr. Lewis broke up his establishment and removed from the neighbourhood. The female defendant then took lodgings at Berkeley - terrace, in Weston-super- Mare, and while remaining here she was in the habit of visiting at the horse of a gentleman of fortune, named Barchy, an uncle of Captain Frith, who, with hi s w if e , resides at llamond's works, near Super-Mare. Mrs. Barclay was a customer of the plaintiff's, and from that circumstance and the society in which the female defendant moved, she allowed htr to have the articles in question without any hesitation. It appeared also that the lady informed her hat she was about to be married to Captain Frith, rq hose friends would advance £2,000 to establish him some profitable line of life, and that £l,OOO would le settled on her on the day of her marriage. The marriage took place in June, 1866, and the plaintiff applied to the female defendant for £25 Off the debt, which she had promised to pay her in that month. She received a letter in reply, stating thatthe lady was unable to pay the money then, but promising to do so shortly. The plaintiff made another application, and the female defendant sent her £5 all the money she had received from her, and the anion was to recover the difference. It was also statcdby the learned counsel that Captain Frith very of ter came to her establish ment in company with M.s. Frith prior to the marriage, and that some of ;he goods were sent to his house and to Mr. B Miss Susan Stacy, the ilaintiff, deposed to the facts in the preceding narrative. 111 r.

ATTEMPTED FRAUD ON TIE UNIVERSAL BENEFI CENT SOCIETY.- - Mary Woocham, a woman with a child in her arms, was brouglt before Mr. Knox on a warrant by Paine, one of the warrant officers, charged with endeavouring t< obtain charitable con tributions, under false preteices, from the Universal Beneficent Society, No. 10, Duke-street, St. James's. The Marquis Townshead, the president of the society, was in attendance. Mrs. Ann Greely, in tie employ of the society, said that on the 16th the prisoner came to the office of the society crying, an 4 said that she had lost a child, eleven years of age,the previous day, and she asked for pecuniary assisttnce. She told the pri soner that she would take down her name and ad dress and give them to the secretary, and she did so. The next day the prisoner called again, and said she had lost another child. The secretary took down the statement. Mr. Charles Kennedy, inquiring officer to the society, proved that there vas no such place as the address given by the prisoner ; and, in making in quiry of Dr. Miskin, the doctor the prisoner stated to have attended the deceased children, that gentleman stated that he had attended no person of the name of Woodharn ; and, on making other inquiries respecting the prisoner, he found that she had lost no children, and that all the state ments made to the society were false. On the pri soner being asked how shq came to do such a thing she said she was put up to it by another woman who received assistance from the society under a similar application. Dr. George Miskin, 162, York-road, Lam beth, stated that he had never attended Any sick children belonging to the prisoner. During the examination the prisoner having ap peared to be in a fainting condition, Mr. Knox a6ked Dr. Miskin if there were any grounds for putting off the inquiry, and the doctor said there were not. said that on taking the prisoner Price, into warrant a u r s r t a o n d t y officer, s h said she was very sorry, and he hoped the marq uis wo uld forgive het, and she had nut Leen put The prisoner asked to be fo rgiven for the sake of s u h p e: o vo i u t. ld not have done it if the children.

The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 110 days' sight is about 1091 per cent.

Isaac Pawsay, a police constable, No. 485 K, stated that he found the old woman on the floor weltering in her blood. The prisoner was seated on a chair only partially dressed, and Enid the old woman aggravated him. The prisoner, who treated the matter very lightly, said the prosecutrix abused him. Mr. Paget said the pri,oner had committed a most savage and brutal assault on the old woman, and sentenced him to four months'imprisonment and hard labour, and to find bail to keep the peace for four months longer. The sureties were to be pro- ided after the imprisonment expired, and if the risoner could not find bail, he would be detained in ,rison is all for eight mon hs. COTTON SUPPLY ASSOC' .1710 N. At the meeting of the executive committee, oil Tuesday, a letter was read from the honorary agents of the association, Bombay, reporting that they had distributed some New Orleans, Sea Island, and Peruvian seed, forwarded to them, according to the directions of the Cotton Com missioner, and stating that it is in contempla tion to hold an agricultural exhibition at Broach next season, with a view specially to encou rage the growth of cotton. The Revenue Com missioner of the northern division of the presidency, who has charge of the arrangements for the intended exhibition, proposes to grow dif ferent kinds of cotton in the neighbourhood, to ex hibit machinery suited to agricultural purposes, and to show samples of cotton from all parts of the world. The assistance of the association in pro moting the objects of the exhibition has been solicited, and will readily be afforded. Commu nications were received from the cotton com missioner for the central provinces and the berars, India, together with the samples of cotton grown during the last season in the Wurdah (Hinglien gaut) district from acclimatised New Orleans seed. It is intended to send some additional samples of the exotic cotton grown in the central provinces, and to supply full details of experiments made with foreign seed, and of the efforts to improve the indigenous varieties. The cotton has been nearly all cleared away from the railway stations, but the loss, in convenience, and anxiety occasioned by the accu mulation and block of cotton have been very great. An improved system has been adopted, so that next season the difficulties and troubles will not be so great. Much has been done for improv ing the market places, and encouraging the setting up of machinery, fresh supplies of exotic seed have been procured, and the fields for new ex periments have been chosen with great care. Attention has also been given to the improve ment of the indigenous plant, and good results are anticipated. A Consular report, forwarded by the Foreign Office, was received from her Majesty's Acting Consul at Ningpo, China, upon the cultiva tion of cotton in that district. Adcording to the native Gazetter, Chekiang contains about 85,000 square miles, and it is believed that cotton is culti vated over about half, such cultivation being of course very partial. There is no practical limit to the extent of land suitable for the growth of cotton, and did sufficient demand exist all the plains could be devoted to the cultivation. Cotton flourishes on the alluvial plains which have been left by the great rivers of the province. The best is grown near the sea; no land has been reclaimed during the last three years, the people not having yet recovered from the effects of the civil war. An experiment made with some American cotton seed sent out by the associa tion has not been successful. It was planted in gardens, in ordinary cotton fields, and in sheltered positions on islands, but only few plants sprung up, and the flowers from them ft.:ll off as soon as formed. From experiments tried elsewhere it is believed that American seed does not answer, as the flowers al ways drop off. The American war gave a great impulse to the production of cotton, but the imports to_ Europe having now nearly ceased, the supply is falling off every season. The country being thickly populated, there is no trouble in obtain ing agricultural labourers, who are usually paid 101. per day, and, under ordinary circumstances, 7kd. or Bd. per Pound for cotton would be remune rative to the growers. The crop this year is ex pected to be fully as large as the last. The depu tation appointed to present a memorial to the Se cretary of State for India, urging the adoption of further measures, already proved to be successful, for extending and improving the growth of cotton inlndia,reported that they had a satisfactory inter view with Sir Stafford Northcote on Friday, May 24, and that he promis3l to give the recommenda tions of the Association his best attention.—lt was resolved to present the medal of the Association to several individuals who have rendered valuable ser vice in connection' with cotton cultivation in Turkey.—This concluded the busines3. MARKETS.--This day. MARK LANE. To-day's market was very scantily supplied with Eng lish wheat, for which the demand ruled inactive. How ever, Monday's prices were supported. The general qua lity of the supply was tolerably good. There was about an avorag3 show of foreign wheat. Good and fine qualities found buyers at full quotations; but all other kinds were very dull at barely late rates. Floating cargoes of grain wore inactive. The barley trade was steady at quite last week's prices. In malt very little was passing at previous quotations. The arrivals were tolerably extensive. The oat trade was firm, but no advance took place in the quotations. Beans were scarce, and quite as dear as on Monlay. The sale for peas was inactive at previous rates. We have no change to notice in the value of flour. Seeds and cakes were a slow inquiry. SHIP ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

What after all is new, as some one recently observed, except " hair-brush ing. by machinery and underground railroads?" We find, however, that this elaborate padding is but an old fashion revived, for it is record!)d that in the reign of Charlos 11. "the hairdress of the ladies was very elaborate; it was not only curled and frizzled with the nicest art, but it was also set off with certain artificial curls, then too emphatically known by the pathetic terms of heartbreakers and love locko.'
