r• - ""' pan ic(' .LES incesg Prince crd4 y the major MONEY JAARKET AND COIIMEROIn INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK There is no new feature to-day in the general Discount Market, and business in commercial bills is particularly quiet. At the Bank of England yesterday there were no bullion operations. The Committee of the Stock Exchange have or dered the shales of the Metropolitan and Provincial Bank to be removed from the list, and have allowed the shares of the Metropolitan Bank to be quoted In their stead. During the last few clays there has not been much animation in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets ; prices, however, of most of the principal staples have been well maintained. Sugar has been in steady request, and superior qualities of coffee have brought full rates. In rice, fruit, cotton, and tallow, the dealings have been to about an average extent, without resulting in any material change iu values. At the meeting to-day of the North British Aus tralasian Company, the directors' report stated that the expenses of management in Australia were £866 9s. Bd. against £791 16s. 10d., and in Lon don £1,158 7s. Id. against £1,177 18s. 10d. for last year. The accounts for the 12 months are made up to the usual period, viz., June 30, 1866, in Australia; and Dec. 31, 1866, in London ; and, after payment M a year's interest to the proprietors of the 6 per cent. guaranteed stock, exhibit a balance of £1,397 2s. 9d. The directors very much regretted that, under these circumstances, they were unable to declare a dividend, and the shareholders, after Borne discussion, assented. Two o'CLocK. There has been a meeting to-day of the Port Phillip and Colonial Gold Mining Company. By the revenue statement it appears there is standing to the credit of that account £4,276 9s. 3d., after debiting it with the amount of the distribution made in July last for the ninth dividend of is. per share. The directors recommended that a dividend be now declared of Is. per share, free of income-tax, payable on the Ist February, 1867, which, with the distribution in July, is equivalent to 10 per cent. Per annum on the original capital. The report was unanimously adopted. At a meeting held to-day of the London and St. Katherine Docks Company, the report stated that the earnings for the past six months had been £ 4 80,971, and the expenditure (exclusive of inte rest on debentures, &c.) had been £320,251, leav ing a profit for the half-year of £160,720. The available balance, after payment of the above inte rest, amounted to £98,992, and a dividend was r ecommended of 1 per cent., making a dividend of of 3i per cent. for the year. The balance of profit and loss, with a small addition, now amounts to £113,508. At a meeting held to-day of the National Bank, the report of the directors stated that the accounts for the two past half-years were £111,863 to the 30th June, and £109,019 from that date to the 31st Dec., 1866. Since these accounts were made up, a divi dend at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum on the Paid-up capital of the bank, and an extra dividend of 16s. per share, together £2 a share, has been declared on the 50,000 shares which constitute the e nnipany's capital ; and the same are now payable at the head-office and branches of the company. The dividend and extra dividend now payable for the half-year ending 31st December, 1866, amount together to £lOO,OOO. According to Reuter's telegram, this morning the French Rentes were 68f. 95.

A BALL AT THE TUILERIES.—The first ball given at the Tuileries this season was an exceedingly brilliant affair. Tho dresses were fresh and novel in style, and the ornaments were in many instances truly magnifi cent. But n otwithstanding the fact that years tell on the fairest, and that crowned heads have more than ordinary cares and responsibilities, the palm of beauty is still accorded to the Empress Eugenie. On the evening in question her Majesty wore a white tulle dress, very long at the bottom of the skirt, and very narrow at the top (quite in the Em pire form), and without crinoline. This dress was studded all over with white roses, and over it there was a white tulle veil or tunic. The Empress wore an Empire waistband, composed entirely of diamonds ; the fringe round the edge of the bertha was likewise diamonds. The headdress was a coronet of diamonds and emeralds; the necklet consisted of diamonds and emeralds; and the earrings formed with similar pre cious stones, were so long that they reached to the shoul ders. Mme. de Metternich arrived so late that there was scarcely time to admire her toilette, which, be it what it may, is always, by the way, a subject for comment. It consisted on this special evening of a white tulle dress with one deep flounce round the edge of the skirt, and from the waist sprays of flowers of different kinds and of many colours descended in garlands —a now style, called jardiniere; diamond necklet, brooch, and earrings ; and a few large single brilliants glittered among the flowers in the Princess's hair. The Duchess Teacher de la Pagerie also wore white tulle, with cross cut bands of white satin studded or cloute's with pearls as cending the skirt ; a Greek bodice with pleats, and a nar row band of satin round the top ; diamonds only in the hair. Several ladies were presented to the Emperor on the same evening, and among them Mme. Dix, the wife of the General who has recently been appointed Ambassador to the Court of France from the United States. Mme. Dix wore a straw-coloured satin dress, trimmed with cross -cut bands of satin, studded with pearls, and covered with a most magnificent black lace tunic. The bodice was not low at the back, but in front, it was open and square, and tastefully trimmed with black lace and bands of satin c/outes with pearls. By eloutes, I mean that the pearl beads are so formed and sewn on that they have a ll th e effect of nailing down the trimming to the dothersrelsys. oruTahtitshNe.esrYameelbegalaln, twteoriolemttea,deasbywmelml ea.sysiegvneorua,l the e p o a p w u l h a Courtte tulle dressmaker. d ress,with The wh i a t ti e 3 b sa a t s i s n a d s o c r , : r s f d o a r u g s h a s t il e edged with cry s t a l f r i nge, tied at the side of this skirt.— Paris Correspondent of The Queen.

COLRT OF EXCHEQUER. OP VESTRIES. In this case the plaintiff, Sarah Juniper, brought an action to recover compensation for the death of her husband , through the alleged negligence of the defendants, who merely pleaded not guilty. Tho jury found a verdict in her favour, and assessed the damages at P 875. It appeared at the trial that the defendants, in their public capicity, were bound to keep the parish in repair, acid were empowered to make a rate for the same. They entered into a written contract with a certain firm to repair the sewers in the Blue Anchor road, Bermondsey, but that firm failed to perform the works. The defendants then undertook to do them themselves, and employed labourers piecemeal for that purpose. Some planks and mould were placed in the road without, as the plaintiff alleged, the necessary precaution of railing to them, or lighting the place. The consequence was, that during the night-time the plaintiff's husband met with the accident which cause• his death. The defendants then moved fur a non-suit, and that a verdict should be en tered for the defendants, on :the ground that they were not liable as a public b.)dy to pay compensation for the acts of their servants the same as private parties. The case was argued at great length before the court prior to the retirement of the last Lord Chief Baron, and deci sions were given by the House of Lords and the Court of Error, laying down a rule adverse to the ground on which the defendants rested their plea of non-liability. The case was argued to-day before the court. Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., Mr. Philbreck,:and Mr. T. Atkinson, jun., were counsel for the plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Hayes, Mr. Mundell, and Mr. Alfred Wills for the defendants. The Court unanimously decided Against the defendants, and, therefore, the verdict stands good. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Beforo Sir J. P. Wilde.) SMITH V. TEBBELL-JUDGMENT. His Lordship gave judgment in this case, which pre sented some peculiar features. It was a suit in which the plaintiff propounded the will of a Mrs. Thwaites, who died possessed of a very large property. The plaintiff claimed to be next cf kin of the deceased as her sister, and this was disputed by the defendant, who alleged that there never had been any marriage between the person stated to have been the father of the parties and their mother. The deceased had always acknowledged the plaintiff as her sister, and by a deed executed shortly before her decease she spoke of her in that relationship, and this acknowledgment by a reputed rela tive was held at common law to be a proof of an alleged pedigree. There was nothing in the present case to show that the legal conditions of that acknowledgment has not been fulfilled, and therefore the Court was bound to pro nounce in favour of the plaintiff. The circumstance of no proof of the marriage or even the existence of the reputed father could ;not affect the :plaintiff's claim, which was established according to The Queen's Advocate applied for costs against the de fondant, which the court allowed. CRIMINAL COURT —This Day. OLD COURT. (Before the Recorder.) Thomas Carmon surrendered to an indictment charging him with wilfully making a false declaration by represent ing himself as the proprietor of the South, London News and Croydon Free Press, and also that both papers were unencumbered, those representations being untrue, one— the South London News not being registered, and the Croydon Free Press being registered in the name of the prisoner's sister. The evidence in this case Was very complicated, but it appeared that the declaration had been made in order to enable the prisoner to effect a mortgage to a certain extent on the property. The jury returned a verdict of guilty, but recommended the prisoner to mercy. Tho Recorder sentenced him to two months' imprison ment. NEW COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) DEFRAUDING THE EARL OF DERBY. Henry Phillip Dashwood Arthy, who pleaded 'guilty to a charge of forgery and fraud upon the Earl of Derby, was brought up for judgment. Mr. Poland, who appeared on the part of the prosecution, said the prisoner had committed a most scandalous fraud, and had used the name of a lady, who was well-known, viz., Mrs. Chisholm, for promoting female emigration. The prisoner went to Clifton, and having stayed for a abort time at one of the principal hotels, during which time he wrote the letter in question to the Earl of Derby, asking from the Government pecuniary assistance, as she stood at that time greatly in want of funds. The letter referred to the service she had already rendered in the endeavour to better the circum stances of the industrious population, by facilitating and assisting them to emigrate to Australia, she accompanying them on the voyage, and on their arrival in the colony making such arrangements for their accommodation that ultimately led to their final settlement in comparative comfort. The Earl of Derby, on the part of the Government, forwarded a letter in acknowledgement, containing a draft for .£lOO, to the address given in the letter, and the prisoner then procured the letter and got it cashed at Messrs. Grindleys, forging the name of Mrs. Chisholm. In the year 1864 the prisoner attempted to obtain money, representing that it was to assist a poor woman. The prisoner wrote from Liver pool to Mrs. Gladstone, the right hon. gentleman's mother, who was one of the lady patronesses of several charities in the town. The fraud was discovered, and the prisoner was given into custody for attempting to defraud, but the prosecution was not proceeded with. The prisoner had been previously convicted and sentenced to 18 months for obtaining a military suit. The prisoner, on being called upon, said ho was not the only guilty party, being only ono of a gang. The Common Serjeaut sentenced him to 10 years' penal servitude. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

Sherer, a Young German, residing i n Broad-street, Golden-square, and who has several times brought offenders to justice, said—A little after 12 o'clock this morning, I was in the Hay mar k e t, and saw the prisone r i n company of a ge n tl eman the worse for liquor. I watched them, and saw th e prisoner take the gentleman to the White Bear public-house, in Piccadilly, where the gentleman gave her something to drink, and paid for it with half a sovereign, and received the change. The prisoner then took the gentleman down the Haymarket, and put him into a Hansom cab and got in herself, and told the driver to go to Compton-street. I jumped up on the back of the cab, and went with it to Compton-street, where the prisoner stopped the cab and get out and went with the gentleman into a house in Dean street. I waited outside the house, and shortly after the prisoner came out in haste, having a beer jug in her hand. I asked her what she had done with the gentleman, and she said that he was asleep on the sofa, and that she was going to get him something to drink. She asked me to go and have something to drink with her, and so as not to lose her I did so, and as she did not ask for the beer I asked her whether she was not going to get some. Sho then said that she was going to Poley-st ree t t o get some broth, and she went tow ard s that street. I f o ll owe d her, and on her seeing a consta bl e in Great Portl an d- s t reet she spoke to him complaining of my f o ll ow i ng her, and asking the constable to get rid of me. I then went up an d spo k e to the constable telling him t h at I suspected sh e h a d ro bb ed a gentleman in Dean-street, and while I was d o i ng so, the prisoner tried to got away by getting int o a ca b . The con stable then took the prisoner to the station, and upon her the watch and chain wore found. The gentleman they belong to is in court. Prisoner—Did you not say that you were a detective? Witness —No. James Thompson, the prosecutor—l am a sailor, and re side at Chingford, Essex. I do not remember anything that occurred to me last night. The watch and chain are my property, of the value oi £3O. Mr. Tyrwhitt—You are lucky to get them back. Police-constable, 113 E—l took the prisoner into custody, and the prisoner, on Sherer speaking to me, handed me the watch and chain, stating that a gentleman she left on a sofa in a house in Dean-street, told her to take care of it. Shoror— The prosecutor was very drunk last night. 1 wont to the hotel this morning. The prisoner preforing to bo dealt with by the magis trate, Kr.

JUNIPER V. THE VESTRY OF BERMONDSEY. - LIABILITY ould. The prisoners were asked where they came from, and they inquired of each other, " Where did we sleep last night ?" Bailey afterwards said his address was 29, Queen-street, Borough. Briant, in defence, said he picked up the parcel of bad money in the street. lle did not know is hat the parcel contained. This assertion was contradicted by the police officers concerned in the case, who said that the ten spurious coins were loose in the prisoner's pocket. It was the custom for "smashers" to travel in pairs, ono to carry the bad money and supply it to the confederate ono piece at a time, while the other went into the public-house or shop and attempted to pass it. No bad money was found on Bailey. He had only one piece. The prisoners were remanded for the attendance of the Mint solicitor. ' BRITIS Cani. Consol.

UTTERING BASE COlN.—Honry Bailey and Samuel Bryant were charged with uttering base coin. Yesterday afternoon the prisoner Bailey entered the George publichouse, in Goodman's-yard, Minories, and called for a half-pint of beer, for which he tendered in pay ment a counterfeit shilling. Mrs. Wybrow, the landlady, at once detected the imposition, and asked him where he obtained the piece, to which he replied "in the Borough.' , Re was given into the custody of a police-constable, and Bryant, who was outside tho pobliehouse while his confe derate was inside, followed, and was arrested. Ton spurious shillings, similar to the ono which Bailey attempted to pass, Were found upon Bryant. Thoy were all from ono The Four Races of the New World, White men, black men, red men, yellow men— all these chief types and colours of the human race—have been drawn into company on this western soil, this middle continent, lying between China and the Archipelago on one side, Africa and Europe on the other, where they crowd and contest the ground under a common flag. The White Man, caring for neither frost nor fire, so long as he can win good food for his mouth, fit clothing for his limbs, appears to be the master in every zone ; able to endure all climates, to under take all labours, to overcome all trials ; casting nets into the Bay of Fundy, cradling gold in the Sacramento valleys, raising dates and lemons in Florida, trapping beavers in Oregon, raising herds of kine in Texas, spinning thread in Massachusetts, clearing woods in Kansas, smelting iron in Pennsylvania, talking buncombe in Columbia, writing leaders in New York. He is the man of plastic genius, of enduring character ; equally at home among the palm-trees and the pines ; in every latitude the guide, the employer, and the king of all. The Black Man, a true child of the tropics, to whom warmth is like the breath of life, flees from those bleak fields of the north, in which the white man repairs his fibre and renews his blood; pre ferring the swamps and savannahs of the south, where, among palms, cotton-plants, and sugar canes, he finds the rich colours in which his eye delights, the sunny heats in which his blood ex pands. Freedom will not tempt him to go north ward into frost and fog. Even now, when Massachusetts and Connecticut tempt him by the offer of good wages, easy work, and sympathising people, he will not go to them. Ile only just en dures New York ; the most hardy of his race will hardly stay in Saratoga and Niagara beyond the summer months. Since the South has been made free for Sam to live in, he has turned his back on the cold and friendly North, in search of a brighter home. Sitting in the rice -field, by the cane-brake, under the mulberry-trees of his darling Alabama, with his kerchief round his head, his banjo on his knee, he is joyous as a bird, singing his endless and foolish roundelay, and feeling the sunshine burn upon his face. The negro is but a local fact in the country ; having his proper home in a corner—the most sunny corner—of the United States. The Red Man, once a hunter of the Alleghanies, not less than of the prairies and tho Rocky Moun tains, has been driven by the pale-face, he and his squaw, his elk, his buffalo, and his antelope, into the Western country; into the waste and desolate lands lying westward of the Mississippi and Missouri. The exceptions hardly break the rule. A band of pic turesque pedlars may be found at Niagara ; Red Jackets, Cherokee chiefs, and Mohawks ; selling bows and canes, and generally spunging on those youths and damsels who roam about the Falls in search of opportunities to flirt. A colony, hardly of a better sort, may be found at Oneida Creek, in Madison county ; the few sowing maize, growing fruit, and singing psalms; the many starving on the soil, cutting down the oak and maple, alienating the best acres, pining after their brethren who have throwia the white man's gift in his face, and gone away with their weapons and their war-paint. Red Jacket at the Falls, Bill Beechtree at Oneida Creek —the first selling beaded work to girls, the second twisting hickory canes for boys—are the last repre sentatives of mighty nations, hunters and warriors, who at one time owned the broad lands from the Susquehannah to Lake Erie. Red Jacket will not settle ; Bill Beechtrec is incapable of work. The redskin will not dig, and to beg he is not ashamed. Hence, he has been pushed away from his place, driven out by the spade, and kept at bay by the smoke of chimney fires. A wild man of the plain and forest, he makes his home with the wolf, the rattlesnake, the buffalo, and the elk. When the wild beast flies, the wild man follows. The Alle ghany slopes, on which, only7o years ago, he chased the elk and scalped the white woman, will hear his war-hoop, see his war-dance, feel his scalping-knife, no more. In the western country he is still a figure in the landscape. From the Missouri to the Colorado he is master of all the open plains; the forts which the white men have built to protect their roads to San Francisco, like the Turkish block-houses built along the Syrian tracks, being mainly of use as a hint of their great reserve of power. The r e d men find it hard to lay down a tomahawk, to take up a hoe ; some thousandsonly of them have yet done so; some hundreds only have learned from the whites to drink gin and bitters, to lodge in frame-houses, to tear up the soil, to forget the chase, the war-dance, and the Great Spirit. The Yellow Man, generally a Chinese, often a Malay, sometimes a Dyak, has been drawn into the Pacidc states from Asia, and from the Eastern Archipelago, by the hot demand for labour ; any kind of which comes to him as a boon. From digging in the mi ne t o coo ki ng an omelette and ironing a shirt, he is equal to everything by which dollars can be gained. Of these yellow people there are now sixty thousand in California, Utah, and Moontana ; they come and go ; but many more of them come than go. As yet these harmless crowds are.weak and useful. Hop Chang keeps a laundry ; Chi Hi goes out as cook ; Cum Thing is a maid-of all-work. They are in no man's way, and they labour for a crust of bread ; carrying the hod when Mike has run away to the diggings, and scrubbing the floor when Biddy has made some wretch the happiest of his sex. Supple and patient, these yellow men, though far from strong, are eager for any kind of work; but they prefer the employments of women to those of men ; delighting in an engagement to wash clothes, to nurse babies, and to wait on guests. They make very good butlers and chamber-maids. Loo Sing, a jolly old girl in pig -tail, washes your shirts, starching and ironing them very neatly, ex cept that you cannot persuade him to refrain from spitting on your cuffs and fronts. To him spitting on linen is the same as damping it with drops of water ; and the habits of his life prevent him, even though you should catch him by th e pi g -tail, and . _ rub his tiny bit of nose on the burning iron, from seeing that it is not the same to you. To-day, those yellow men are sixty thousand weak ; in a few years they may be six hundred thousand strong. They will ask for votes. They will hold the balance of parties. In some districts they will make a majority; selecting the judges, forming the juries, interpreting the laws. Those yellow men are Buddhists, professing polygamy, practising infan- tickle. Neat year is not more sure to come in its own season than a great society of Asiatics to dwell on the Pacific slopes. A Buddhist church, fronting the Buddhist churches in China and Ceylon, will rise in California, Oregon, and Nevada. More than all, a war of labour will commence between the races which feed on beef and the races which thrive on rice; one of those wars in which the victory is not necessarily with the strong. White man, black man, re 3 man, yellow man, each has a custom of his own to follow, a genius of his own to prove, a conscience of his own to respect; customs which is not of kin, genius which is largely different, and conscience which is fiercely hostile.— Front New America, by W.

THE INVENTOR OF LIGHTNING CONDUCTORS.— Sir William Snow Harris, F.R.S., well known as the in ventor of the only safe kind of lightning-conductor, died a few days ago, in the 75th year of his age. Ho was born at Plymouth, was partly educated at the University of Edin burgh for the medical profession, and was knighted in 1847. He was the author of some scientific works of great value, AMERICA.

The following appeAred in oar Till:A Elitbn of yester day evening : The inquest on the unfortunate persons who perished by the late terrible accidentin the Regent's park was resumed at the Marylebone Court-house this morning. Mr. Douglas and Dr. Whitmore were examined, and repeated in detail the facts which have been already deposed to. At the conclusion of the evidence, The Coroner summed up and told the jury that after they had decided on their verdict with respect to the deaths of the 40 persons, they would have to consider whether there were any persons specially liable for the consequence of the accident. hether any person had neglected his duty or had been guilty of anything that in the result brought about the lamentable accident. They would have to consider the effect of the breaking of the ice around the edges of the lake, and it would not be out of place if, white engaged in their duties, they were also to consider the advisability of adopt ing some steps by which such terrible acci dents might be prevented for the future. Some of the witnesses had spoken to the good effect of raising a ball to denote the safety of the ice, and others had spoken to a variety of precautions that might be adopted ; but the most important, in his opinion, was the advisability of reducing the depth of the water. He thought that the good which would follow such an arrangement would amply compensate for the cost of the work. It would be for them to say how and what means death ensued; and in the event of their thinking it necessary to make any special presentment, they could attach it to their verdict. The jury then retired to consider their verdict, and after an absence of an hour and three-quarters, returned into court with a verdict of Accidental Death in all of the cases. Appended to the verdict were the following recommendations : " We find that the accident arose from the over crowding of a large body of persons on the ice at the same time, while it was in a most dangerous state, caused by rottenness and partial thaw. " Further, we would recommend the Legislature to consider the propriety of investing the police or other authorities with power to prevent the public venturing upon the ice when in an unsound state; as the evidence adduced at this inquiry clearly shows that mere verbal warnings are not heeded in such cases. " We cannot too strongly urge upon the Govern ment the propriety of reducing the depth of the water in the same manner as already adopted in St. James's-park, so that the repetition of such a deplorable calamity may be rendered impossible for the future. " We cannot separate without speaking a word in favour of the icemen, park constables, police, parochial authorities, and others, for their efforts to save life on this occasion. " We commend the Royal Humane Society to the public consideration. " It now only remains for us to proffer our deepest sympathy to the unfortunate friends of the deceased, a sympathy that will, we are sure, be shared in by the whole of the nation." The Cambridgeshire Hunt. A meeting of some of the principal members of the Cam bridgeshire Hunt was held at the Red Lion Hotel, Cam bridge, on Saturday last, to consider the best steps to be taken for the maintenance of the efficiency of the pack in consequence of the intended resignation of the present master, Mr. C. Barnett, of Stratton-park, better known as "t' squire," who for 35 years has, at great expense to him self, kept the pack in its present satisfactory condition Lord Royston, M.P., presided ; and there were also present Major Pemberton, Col. Lindsell, Revs. W. Smith, J. Thorn hill, and J. Taddy ; Messrs. C. Lindsell, T. H. Bayley, W Hurrel, C. F. J. Addington, C. W. Naylor, R. J. Whitby, T. J. Hooper, J. I. Ellis. F. Dawkins, J. Linton, F. Arck dell, P. Beales, W. S. Mitchell, Sanders Holben, R. Headly, J. J. Headly, and H. J. Thurnall (secretary). The SECRETARY stated that he had received a letter from Mr. Barnett, stating his intention , to resign the mastership at the end of the present season. He had since seen Mr. Barnett, who was willing to waive all claim to such of the hounds as were his property, and hand over the whole of the pack to his successor. Mr. Barnett was also willing to allow the use of his kennels and stables at Stratton Park as heretofore up to the commencement of next season. A long conversation ensued, in the course of which the expediency of requesting Mr. Barnett to reconsider his de termination was dwelt upon, but it appeared that Mr. Barnett resigned in consequence of the weightof increasing years, and, though he had at one time been willing to continue the mastership if his son (Capt. Barnett) were allowed to take active superintendence in the field in his (Mr. Bar nett's) absence, yet as this arrangement did not meet gene ral support, he had irrevocably determined to resign, and had communicated such decision in unmistakeable terms do Lord Hardwicke and Mr. Thurnall. Mr. Barnett's son in-law, who was present, having also stated that Mr. Bar nett was decided upon this point, the question of a succes sor was debated, and it appeared that Captain Barnett was willing to take the pack if the present amount of subscrip tions were gurantoed, and the requisite kennels and stables provided. It appeared that there will be no difficulty on the latter points ; and a resolution was carried that the hounds be offered to Captain Barnett with the requisite guarantee. It was general opinion that the kennel should be built nearer the centre of the county than at present, and Stow or Bourn seemed to meet most approval as the situation. The sub ject of the expense of kennels, stables, huntsman, and whipper-in's houses, &c., being mooted, various estimates were made ranging from £7OO to £1,200, and of this Mr. Hurrell said - he was in a position of himself to guarantee the advance of £5OO by gentlemen to whom he had spoken on the subject. The Earl of Hardwicke, Colonel Dun combe, Colonel Lindsell, and Mr. Hurrell intimated their a cquiescence in their covers being drawn as usual. A committee, consisting of the chairman (Major Pem berton), Mr. T. St. Quintin, Mr. W. Hurrell, and Mr. C. Lindsell, was appointed to confer with Captain Barnett as to future arrangements, and decide upon the best means of raising funds for the kennels. It appeared that the pre sent subscriptions to the pack amount to £955, making, with the cap-money, £5O, £1,005 per annum. The CHAIRMAN said it would be un b ec oming in him if he did not, before they separated, ask them to j oin him in a vote of thanks to Mr. Barnett for the admirable, gene rous, and satisfactory manner in wh ich he had conducted the hunt for so long a period of time. (Cheers.) He was sure there was but one feeling in this matter, and that was regret that osrotsemxcueu as u excellent Burnettgentleman,should b sucha the lost to theorough-bred English sportsman county, and the sporting world,asamastotem. master ofr Barnett, He proposed that they shmdd express through the secretary, the deep regret of the gentlemen of the county that he should, after 35 years' mastership, have resigned the hounds. He was sure they would be unani mous on that point. (Loud cheers.) Major PEMBERTON said it would be invidious to second the motion. It might bo taken to be seconded by every man in the room. (Loud cheers.) Th a t c h e e r i ng was the m ost appropriate way of expressing the feeling of the meet ing. The motion was declared to be carried by acclamation, and the meeting dispers e d a ft er t h e usual complimentary vote of thanks to the chairman.

Un fortunately, however, it has been found that its not being a the re reddened absence b y of acids.gi en fluid i t is even affords no ven inferior delicacy the ho r for wi th alk a alies. test for li s e c d h d o e n n ho od hi litmushas, however,pape r us e f d h rn as i s h a ed te u st s acids, of remarkable sensitiveness. It indicates the pre sence of tho very smallest amount of an acid, being so delicate that it shows the presence of carbonic acid in dis tilled water that has been merely breathed upon. It is obtained by treating cyanino blue with soda, dissolving one part of the product to one-hundred parts of alcohol, and adding twice its volume of water to the solution. The cyanino blue is formed by acting on iodide of amyl with lepidine. Schoubein's test-fluid is applicable also to the detection of bases, and is of extraordinary delicacy when used for that purpose. It enables us to ascertain the pre sence of the exceedingly small amount of oxide of lead which is dissolved by water, and which is not to be ren dered perceptible by sulphuretted hydrogen. That used for acids is adapted to alkalies, by merely reddening it with an acid. THE CEDARS OF LEBANON. —A recent number of the Gardener's Chronicle publishes the following interest ing communication from Dr. Hooker, respecting the cedar of Lebanon :—" The Rev. M. Tristram, F.L.S., informs me of a most interesting discovery lately made in the Leba non, viz., of several extensive groves of cedar trees by Mr. Jessup, an American missionary, a friend of his own, to - whom he pointed out the probable localities in the inte rior. Of these there are five, three of great extent east of Ain Zabalteh, in the Southern Lebanon. This grove lately contained 10,000 trees, and Lad been purchased by a barbarous Sheikh, from the more barbarous (7) Turkish Government, for the purpose of trying to extract pitch from the wood. The experiment, of course, failed, an d the Sheikh was ruined ; but several thousand trees were destroyed in the attempt. Ono of the trees measured I.sft. in diameter, and the forest is full of young trees, springing up with great vigour. He also found two small groves on the eastern slope of Lebanon, overlooking the Buka'a, above El Medeuk ; and two other large groves, containing many thousand trees, ono above El Baruk and another near Ma'asiv, where the trees are very large and equal to any others; all are being destroyed for firewood. Still another grove has been discovered near Dutna, in the western slope of Lebanon, near the one discovered by Mr. Tristram himself. This gives ten distinct localities in the Lebanon to the south of the originally discovered one, and including it. Ehrenberg had already discovered ono to the north of that locality, and thence northwards the chain is u&explcusxl by 'Tomer Qr naturalist," rar Gret )(1 bY ,hire. laud. s tet the tgo tlf 110
