BY the operation of the same princip'es, the Society Is enabled to afford to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta geous than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the con tribution of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving, may se- Vire either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced age, or, at his option, a large sum of money, or a policy to his family at his death while by giving to the purchaser, at any time, the power of " ° "owilla two-thirds of all provious payments, it removes all risk of forfeiture from inability to continue premiums, besides affording an ample resource during sickness and want of employment ; and should the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, two thirds of his payments will be returned to his representatives. The following Table is a specimen of the great and varied advan tages which the judicious application of a -small saving can secure bxough this Society. 11.

ATTIRE. Well may the poet strike his lyre In praise of MOSES' choice attire. MOSES' prime dress for son or sire, Is everything that we require. In MOSES' Clothes we may admire, All that a person can desire. In vain does rivalry aspire To raise the summer garments higher, In estimation with the buyer. .All competition must retire, Nor ever dare to be a vier With Messrs. MOSES, near the spire. No 2.—HATS, &c. The famous Hats and Caps displayed At Messrs. MOSES' house of trade, Are really elegantly made. Many who near the shop have strayed, Admiring on the spot have stayed, The Hats of MOSES, when surveyed, Cast every other in the shade. Their shape is good, their nap well laid, From top of crown to edging braid, And when you view the prices mid, You'll never feel the least afraid, To lend E. M. and SON your aid. No. 3.—BOOTS AND SHOES. It is a fact which none deny— A fact on which you may rely— That MOSES' Boot and Shoe supply Stands foremost in the public eye. No matter how you test and try, You'll find these Boots and Shoes defy Whatever you may judge them by. A pair I lately bought, and I, Am very glad I went to buy, For not a fault can I descry ; They suit alike both wet and dry, And raise the Mart of MOSES high. No. 4. HOSIERY, SHAWLS, &e. The Shawl and Hosiery Depot, Whose numbers you will find below, By MOSES is conducted so, That thousands are induced to go, Their Ilh'ral favours to bestow. From what I've prov'd myself I know That, let you wander to and fro, Tou'll never meet with such a show, I therefore trust you'll not be slow In buying goods for prices low ; For much to MOSES do you owe As instanced at their famed depot.

Taylor and Bright's circular states : We have again to report a week of great inertness in every branch of the trade. The above import, as regards whet, may probably be regarded as the last of any moment uatil a cessation of Danish and German hostilities removes the present blockade of the northern and near ports. The character of the present supply is good useful red wheat, of which we have now a nice choice. The dulness in Mark-lane yesterday affected our trade to-day; farmers brought a small supply, and English wheat can only be written is per quarter lower; fo reign, though the actual business was exceedingly limited, was more inquired for at 2s decline. Barley of fine quality meets fair sale, and grinding goes off at late prices. Less business passing in beans and peas. while oats are rai her more sought after. With continued small arrivals of linseed we are unable to note eny alteration in prices. Less doing in cakes at the prices of last week; the stock on hand very small. Rapeseed fully as dear, and cakes in good demand at the full quotations of last week. No alteration in bones. The following are the present prices of grain :- 8.

OLD COURT. (Before the RECORDER.) William Edwin Batley, 29, a post-office letter carrier, pleaded guilty to two indictments, charging him with stealing and embezzling two letters, one of them contain ing money, and the other a book, the property of the Postmaster -General. Sentence was deferred. Lydia Diron, a well-dressed woman, aged 30, was ar raigned upon .everat indictments, charging her with stealing silk, satin, and Ot.. t. , 1 - a tieles of a similar de scription, from the shops of different silkinercers and haberdashers, at Richmond and Hammersmith. Mr. Prendergast defended the prisoner. The first case that was taken, was a charge of stealing 20 yards of silk and a quantity of mousseline de laine, the prop( rty of Mr. Steal, a linendraper, at Richmond. A police-constable, named Woods, produced the pro perty, which he found, with a large quantity of other valuable articles, in a room at a beer-shop in the Lower road, Richmond, occupied by the prisoner. All the goods had the private shop-mark upon them; but the prosecutor would not take upon himself to swear posi tively that they had never been sold. The RECORDER observed, that in the absence of such evidence, he thought the jury would hardly feel them selves warranted in coming to the conclusion that the articles had been stolen. The jury expressed the same opinion, and returned a verdict of Not Guilty. The prisoner was then charged, upon another indict ment, with stealing a quantity of huckaback, the property of Mr. Bryant, another linendraper at Richmond. It appeared in this ease, that Woods, the policeman, was on duty near the prosecutor's shop, when he ob served the prisoner deliberately take up a roll of bucks back, and place it under her shawl and walk off withit. He stopped her, and she then said that she was only going; to take the article into the shop to ascertain the price; and when he attempted to take her into custody, she made a violent resistance. She afterwards refused to give her name or residence; but the constable suc ceeded in discovering that she lodged at the beer-shop referred to in the former case. It also appeared that at the time the prisoner was taken into custody, she had a large apron, or rather pocket, tied in front of her, which appeared evidently intended as a most convenient recep tacle for any property that its wearer might lay hold of. Mr. PRENDERGAST, in his address to the jury on be half of the prisoner, said he was instructed that she was a person of respectability and incapable of committing o b n e y l i e of f e d h i h g e h should p b e e nt a a b b l l e n y hou re ld s t n e d s t he i m mind of the prisoner wai affeoted, and that she was in t o he sh o o ff w enc t e he o m f long,2 b y tho that, in consequence of a brain fev er , t h e for h er such s a S9 s s t ' ate as not to render her responsible actions. Mrs. Jackson was then examined for the defence, and she said that the prisoner had been living with her, at Hammersmith, for 11 years, and she had known her from her infancy. Witness provided all necessaries for her, and she was in the habit of earning mOhiy for herself by , giving lessons in musi c . 'f 4 Mr. PRENDE RGAST —I believe Malt m, you know nothing whatever ab ou t th e prisoner hiving engaged a loqing at this - beer-shop? Witness---r knew nothing of it. She used to be from home occasionally, and I under stood that she went to her mother, who resided in Lon )n. The witness went on to say that the prisoner hid complained of pain in her head for several pare, and lust August she bad an attack of - brain fever, and her head was shaved, and since that period her conduct had been flighty and very much altered to what it was before. ' Mr. John Betts, a surgeon at Hammersmith, deposed that, in his opinion, since the attack referred to, the pri soner had not had the proper use of her senses, and he said he bad repeatedly observed that her conduct was strange and eccentric. The RECORDER asked the witness whether he would undertake to say that the prisoner was not distinguishing betwee n r i g h t and wrong, or that she was under such a d e l us i on as not to be aware that she was going abo u t ro bbi ng people. The wiiness said h e cou ld not go so far as to say that this was the c ase . capable of The RECORDER inquired whether the fact of such a pocket as that which had been produced being made use of, would not be a proof of so much contrivance on the part of the party as to be quite incompatible with such an opinion? The witness said that a great deal of cunning was fre quently exhibited by insane persons. The RECORDER said he was aware of that, but there was a great difference between cunning of that descrip tion and the contrivance that was manifested in this case to tactlitate the scberne of plunder. His LORDSHIP then addressed the jury, and explained to them that before they could give to the defence that had been set _up,ila behalf of t h e p r ison er , t h e y, must be satisfied not mere l y that she was a little flighty in her mind, but that at the time she committed the act she was incapable of distinguishing between right and wrong, and it was for them to say, under the circum stancts of the case, whether they could conscientiously come to such a conclusion. The jury immediately returned a verdict dr Guilty. The RECORDER inquired of the constable what was the value of the , property which he found in the posses sion of the prisoner? He replied that about 401. worth had been identified, but there was a great deal of which no owner had yet been discovered. The RECORDER then gave directions that all the arti cles which were identified should be restored to their owners, and that means should be taken to find out to whom the remainder belonged. He also respited the sentence upon the prisoner until the next session, in order that further inquiries might be made respect ing her. NEW COURT. (Before the COMMON SERGEANT.) . . Michael Kelly, aged 27, a labourer, was indicted for feloniously assaulting Elizabeth Waters, with intent, &c. The prosecutrix, a respectable modest young woman, the wife of a labouring man, living at Hotnerton, stated that being on her return home at a somewhat late hour, having been out visiting a brother-in. law, she w as met by the priioner in a sequestered spot near her own house, when he forced her against a wall, and finally threw her on the ground, where ho would have effected his purpose but for her resistance and cries, which being heard by the police on duty, they hastened to the spot end found witness on the ground struggling with the ptisonsr. When taken into custody he said she was his wife. The police corroborated the prosecutrix's statement, adding that they heard her cries for help some distance from the spot where they found them. When the pri soner was apprehended he was very violent. Mr. ROBINSON, for the defence, said the story was a most improbable one, and it was most dangerous to con vict in such cases upon the unsupported testimony of a woman of whose previous character they had no evidence. The jury found the prisoner Guilty. The COMMON SERGEANT said it was an extremely bad case, and sentenced him to two years' imprisonment and hard labour. ' Thomas Storey, aged 39, a groom, was charged upon several indictments with stealing a number of printed books, some china cups, saucers, glass, a few towels, and other articles of trivial value. the property of Lord John Russell, M.P., and Caroline Baker, 29, a spinster, was indicted for receiving the same, knowing it to have been stolen. The male prisoner pleaded guilty, and the woman pleaded not guilty. The facts of the case were these :—The prisoners co habited together, and the man having been engaged in his Lordship's stables, and so having an opportunity of gaining access to the lime, no suspicions were enter tained of his honesty. The woman, however, whom tse veral witnesses stated t o b e ver y b a dly di spose d, was taken int o cus t o d y fi r h av i ng sto l en some t hi ngs from their ready-furnished lodgings, and upon the police searching they found a number of duplicates which turned out to relate to the property of bis Lordship, and was identified by his steward. Some of the things, all of which were pledged in different lots, for a few shillings, had been in pawn for a length of time, and the interest had been paid at the expiration of the twelve months. Not any of the property bad been missed until the intelligence was brought b y the police. Several pawnbrokers proved the female to have pawned some of the things, and that she had stated they had been given to her by his Lordship's bntler, and also had been heard abusing Storey for not bringing her home more things. The jury found her Guilty. Thomas Price, his Lordship's steward, said that his master requested him to recommend the man to mercy, and also to state that it was not his wish that the charge should have been pressed. The prisoner Storey said he intended to have redeemed the things, and had taken them from distress. The COMMON SERGEANT said the woman was evi dently the worst of the two, an d sentence d h er to eighteen months imprison ment, and the male prisoner to six.

SlR,—The insertion y ou gave to the letter o f . Colonel Williams, ILE., respecting Dover Esplanade In January, and a l so th at relating to Dover Break water on Saturday l as t, i n d uces me to hope that. you will insert the foll ow i ng i n your journal, so distin guished for imparti a li ty. With all due defer ence t o the profes sional reputa tion which the G a ll an t C o l onel has acqu i re d in a long a service, I must sa y, th a t h e, li ke too man y theorists, hastily Theut travelling of the shi ng l e f rom wes t to east, and the hastily condemns that w hi c h i s b e i ng done, without even suggesting a m ore p roper mo d e o f action. serious obstruction s th e r e by c aused to the . entrance of the Dover and Folkestone Harbours, is a readily admitted fact ; and whilst no obstruction was (sacred to this eastward progress of the shingle, the mouth of Dover Harbour wa s seldom, if ever, be entered in safety, especially to vess. 3 . of heavy tonnage. M any and erudite were the suggestions to get rid o f t hi s dangerous barrier. The pier formerly known as Cheesetnan's Head was not only denounced as t h e evil source of the accumulating shingle, but it was actually pulled down ; this only increased the mis chief. The shingle further raised its stubborn head as Cheeseman's was laid low. Then reservoirs, basin s , sluices, and machinery were erected to scour aw a y the accumulation from the harbour's mouth —great were the expectations, but small the effects, the shingle still barred the entrance. Human skill and inge nuity were further put upon the rack, when a sudden and unexpected incident supplied what science and study had failed to achieve. The operations of the South• Eastern Railway Com pany, in the celebrated blowing up of the Round Down Cliff, by which a headland of many acres was formed, projecting several hundred yards into the sea, were no sooner accomplished than the Dover Bar begun to disappear, and soon to vanish, leaving the chalk bed at the entrance to the harbour as clean as a kitchen floor. This singular circum stance has certainly saved Dover Harbour from decay; but the promontory produced by the fall of Round Down Cliff being upwards of a mile from Dover to the west, or shingleward direction, the result would have been, that as soon as the amassing shingle rounded the outer angle of this obstruction the ordi nary easterly drift would without any doubt again have called up D over B ar. But we find genuine engineering skill taking heed of the laws of nature, and advantage of the effects of an unexpected Clear ance of the s hi ng l e, and therefore the present pier is being erected s o c l ose upon the har b our mouth as will, without any doubt, carry the shingle quite past the harbour entrance; and from very close observation of the onward m ovement o f the b eac h t h ere, we are convinced that the fears of Colonel Williams as to the accumulation approaching the end of the pier will not be realised before a century of years have rolled away. The Gallant Colonel knows that a bar will exist at Dover without an obstruction of some sort to the westward, yet he tells us not what he would do ; and in order to make his weak case as strong as possible, he conjures up the original scheme of the harbour of refuge (projected in those palmy days immense amounts ev en pr i vate enterprise spoke l ig h t l y of amounts of capital), with all its enclosed area, its entrances, the br ea k wa t er , an d th e two millions and half of money. Now let me acquaint him that the present operations, consisting of a massive stone pier extending about 800 feet from the shore, and having about 30 feet of water at low water ordinary tides, terminate the present undertaking ; that this beautiful monument of " engineering skill and a nation's resources" is distinct, complete, and indepen dent in itself, giving those facilities so earnestly required at that port, which must ever form the main connecting link between our native land and the Continent, in lauding passengers at all states of the tide. Future generations may perhaps complete the gigantic scheme originally projected, but such, we can safely say, is uot the intention of the existing race of men ; therefore Colonel IVilliam6 need have no jealousy nor fear that the large amount will be required, whilst the work will be of great national utility, although he thinketh not. I have the honour to be, Sir, yours. May 8, 1849. ALPHA. COURT CIRCULAR. His Royal Highness the Prince Albert, attended by the Marquis of Abercorn, Lieutenant-Colonel the Hon.

A SlDE.—These members of the corps puyilistique met yesterday on Woking•common, in the county of Surrey, to settle their fistic superiority. The men have combatted previously, when the Westminster lad, Barnash, was the victor. On the present occasion the athletse) were seconded thus —Hazeltine by Keene and Joe Rowe; Barnash by Hayes and M'Donald. The battle, which lasted one hour and fifty minutes, was of the tamest description; the only points being made by Hazeltine, who, from the weakness of Barnash, wade his right tell repeatedly on his oppo nent's left ear, Barnash's slight flapping hits on the nasal organ being poor and without influence on the result. After 30 rounds, of frequent pauses, and tedious cha racter, Hazeltine was proclaimed the conqueror; some of Barnash's warmest adherents having for some time determined to resign the struggle on his part. In fact, the sponge was thrown up six rounds before the conclu sion, and it was only upon the determined opposition of Barnash himself that the contest was continued. The punishment, which was not great on either side, was pretty evenly balanced. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. WOOLWICH, MAY B.—The Basilisk steam-vessel has had her departure from Woolwich deferred until to morrow, when she will leave for Greenhithe, and after her compasses have been adjusted will proceed to De vonpon with the Niger, the trial of the comparative merits of the vessels being ordered to take place in the English Channel. The Niger steam-vessel is, according to present ar rangements, to leave Woolwich on Thursday for Green hithe, and Mr. Humphries, chief engineer at Woolwich dockyard, and Mr. F. P. Smith, of the Screw Propeller department at the Admiralty, will proceed in her, and Mr. Dinnen, one of the inspectors of steam machinery afloat. The North Star, fitting for a voyage to the North Polar regions, is under orders to leave Woolwich on Saturday next, to have her compasses adjusted by Capt. Johnson, and will leave Greenhithe on the 15th instant, on her enterprising expedition to relieve the officers and crews of the vessels already in the Arctic regions. The Stromboli steam- vessel, commander Lord Amelius Beauclerk, is expected to remain at Sheerness until the North Star is ready at Greenhithe, and will then tow her to the edge of the ice. Mr. Warren, quarter-master of the Unite Convict Hospital ship, fell overboard between nine and ten o'clock P.M. yesterday, from a boat in which be intended to come on shore. The weather was very rough at the time and the tide running fast, which occasioned his being thrown overboard by coming in contact with the mooring chains of the vessel. His body has not been found. ON THE CALUMNIATORS OF THE POLES The serf who is in bondag e born Excites our pity mor e than scorn, For, nurs'd in brutal ignorance, He ne'er of freedom had a glance, And kept in awe, by knouts and rods, He views his master's will as God's. But Englishmen so vile there are As to enlist with Russia's Czar, And, in his blood• stained livery, The cause of liberty decry! These venal scribes have sold their souls To vilify the gallant Poles, Whom they would falsely represent As stirrers up of discontent, And leaders in all civil war In every country where they are. Who thinks this true Should well review Their conduct when tge Chartists' rose: And if Bern fights For Magyars' rights, It is with Poland's ancient foes. Perchance, howe'er, ifs lying race Cannot devise a trade4ess base, By which they might prdeure their bread; But what in favour can be said Of noble * * * * sand people high, Who friendless exiles can belie, And slander foul insinuate, To gratify their factious hate? These, in their bigotry, confound Men by no tie of virtue bound, — And who all holy writ pervert. With those that hut their rights assert. Thus • *"*V* * *,and E******** Would class Dembinsky with Proudhon, And that great chief, and his brave band, Transport to some far distant land. But though th, it blood Stains Danube's flood, 'Tis not for pay or plunder shed ;—. They would strike down Proud Austria's Crown, In hopes to raise their own instead.

THE TV_ESTATINSTER REVIEW. - 2 Va- The celebrated quarterly originally stamped with the effigy of I3entbarn, in the same way that Black wood is adorned with the features of Buchanan, performed the first great cycle in its career. "Thor yestmznster Review, the quarterly organ of social improvement,politi ca l re f orm, religious tolerance, and modern philosophy, teas numbered a hundred. It hair grown from a stripling periodical into a publication venerable for its age, its intelligence, and its prin ciples. We greet it as an old and familiar favourite, a favourite whose importance has in some measure been enhanced by its incorporation, a year or so back, with the Foreign Quarterly. As a champion of the new science of political economy—the science created by Adam Smith, advanced by huskisson, and ripened by Macgregor—we always greet our contemporary with sympathetic cordiality. As a strennous upholder of the sacred cause of democracy, we regard it with kindred sentiments. It is consequently with pi culler gratification that we have perused the very able and . elaborated vindication of the French R evo l ut i o n o f February from the insinuations and imputations of its assailants. Since the very commencement of the reactionary movement, which followed laud upon the bloody days of June, it has been a labour of love with us at intervals to write in our leading columns arguments with precisely the saine tendency as those which are comprised in this clever' and ear• nest contribution. One by one we have exp ased the frivolity of the aspersions thrown upon the illustrious Republicans who have striven to elevate the character of the French Government, and to improve the pros. pects of the French multitude. Speaking of the charge that has been so repeatedly levelled at the Provisional Ministers, the Westminster Reviewn admirably remarks that the droit au travail is nothing more nor less than the peor•law of Elizabeth. Of the impudent lies which have been uttered against the heroicesmen who saved Franc e , E uro p e , t h e world, from awful catastrophe of bloodshed in Feb ruary, be speaks in the following manner in reference especially to two very remarkable men MM. de Lamartine and Ledru Rollin : "It' the verdict of history were gathered from the as. sertions of cotemporaries, what contempt would it in spire for the judgment of posterity on eminent characters, when we find that these men have been charged in dividually with embezzling money from the treasury; that even M. Lamartine has thought it necessary to lay before the public the details of his private fortune and pecuniary transactions, in order to extinguish the slander beyond possibility of revival! Not without cause ; for though malignity itself' is not shameless enough any longer to repeat the charge against him personally, his exculpation has not liberated his col leagues ; and there have appeared within these few weeks, in more than one English newspaper, articles in which the financial administration of the Provisional Government has been spoken of as one mass of profligate malversation. There is nothing which the spirit that pursues these men would not dare to assert, when it can venture on this. One member of the Provisional Go vernment has been made a mark for greater inveteracy of assault than the rest—M. Ledru Rollin. Everbody has heard scandalous stories concerning him; and in his case, some of these were specific, and accompanied with names and circumstances. If those which did not enter into particulars had no better foundation than those which did, M. Ledru Rollin, as to pecuniary integrity, is the statesman of most unimpeachable character in Europe; for every accusation of the kind that we are acquainted with, which had Any tangible character, was investigated by the Commission d'Etiqu4!e, and disproved by the evidence of the persons alleged to have been con , nected with it. In England, his assailants, and those of his colleagues, seized the opportunity of the appearance of a mass of evidence which they knew nobody would read, to affirm (it must in charity be supposed, without having read it themselves) that it substantiated all the floating rumours of misconducr, and covered the members of the Government with indelible disgrace. In France, it was felt even by their enemirs to have entirely failed of eliciting the disclosures which had been expected from it. M. Ledru Rollin instantly rose many degrees in public estimation, and has occupied, since those documents ap peared. a position of greater political importance than before." Alluding to the crime imputed to AL de Lamartine of having countenanced the system of foreign pro pagandism in his renowned manifesto, it is correctly observed, that that eminent man only claimed for his country " the right, according to its own discretion and judgment, to assist any nation which might be struggling to free itself from the yoke of foreign conquerors." As we have already intimated in our previous notice of ia contemporary, there is a review of " Mary Barton," the tale of life in Manchester. From the essay on " English Spelling Reform," we extract the subjoined most amusing and laughable illustration of the difficulties presented by our mother tongue to foreigners : " The New York Hume Journal gives the following dialogue between a Frenchman studying English and his tutor:— " Frenchman—Ha, my good friend, I have met with one difficulty—one very strange word. How you call h-o-u-g-h? Tutor—Huff. Fr.—Tres Lien, huO ; and snuff you spell s-n-o.u.g-h, ha! Tutor—O, no, snuffis s-n.O double f. The fact is, words ending in ough are a little irregular. Fr.—A h, very good; 'tis beautiful lan guage. is hug; I will remember; and c.o•u g-h cull: I have one bad cuff, ha! Tutor—No, that is wrong. We say haujr, not cuff. Fr.—Kaug; eh bien. Huff and haufir, and, pardonnez-moi, how you call d-o u g-h? Duff, ha! Tutor—No, not duff. Fr.—Not duff; ah! oui ; I understand—is dauff, hey? Tutor— No, d-o-u.g-h spells doe. Fr.—Doe ! It is very fine; wonderful language, it is doe: and t-o-u-g-h is toe cer. tainement. My beefsteak was very toe. Tutor—O, no, no; you should say tuff. Fr.-7'uffr And the thing farmer uses ; how you call him p•l-o-u-g-h,pluff ? ha! you smile; I see lam wrong, it plauf ? No? ah, then, it is plot, like doe: it is a beautiful language, ver' fine— ploc ? Tutor—You are still wrong, my friend. It is plow. Fr.—Plow ! Wonderful language. I shall un derstand ver' soon. Plow, doe, hautf: and one more— r-o-u-g-h, what you call General Taylor; rauff and ready? Tu:or—No; r-o u-g-h spells rug: Fr.—Ruff, ha! Let me not forget. R-o-u-g-h is ruff; and b-o-u-g-h is buff, ha! Tutor—No, bow. Fr.—Ah! very simple, wonderful language ; but I have had what you call e-n-o-u•g-h; ha! what you call him?' " "Illustrative Art" is an agreeable comment on some books embellished by the Etching Club and other wise. An article on " The Adaptation of Iron" in architecture is a curiosity which will be found not unworthy of examination. Every advocate for the ballot should read the paper on " Corruption at Elections." One of the most practical and practicable suggestions we have seen for a consider able time for the improvement of the metropolis is the one contained in the brief but pregnant chapter 3n the "Neglect of the Public Records." We should rejoice to Bee such m scheme as the one spoken of token up by the Government, namely, the construction of a spacious and fitting building for the preservation of our national records, between the angle formed by the meeting of Fleet street and Chancery-lane. The final contribution to the Westminster is of a prospective character on " Po litics and Politician," suggested by the "Opening of the Session." Out of one of the amusing criticisms in the Foreign Quarterly Supplement, we take the follow ing comical lines by MM. Clairville and Jules Cordier on the President Louis Napoleon at the end of his four years' reign in 1852. The lines are exquisitely French; and although we sympathize not one jot in their scoffing spirit, but, on the contrary, regard the policy of the Prince President with respect and admiration, we cannot resist a laugh at every line in this humourous and capital jeu desprit : " Pendant quatre ans 11 prishiait la France, C'Ctait un grand—un grand?—e!ait-il grand? Qu'importe! on connait sa vaillance. Sa vaillance?-6:ait-il vaillant? Qu'importe! on connait son talent. Mais quel talent avait cette lime forte? Qu'importe encore! ce grand brun nous guidait. Etait-il brun? etait-il blond? qu'importe! Ce que je sais, c'est qu'il nous pre.iidait. Je ne sais plus ce qu'il etait, qu' importe! Ce que je sais, west qu'il nous pre,idait." Besides those already mentioned, there are a variety of miscellaneous criticisms, written in a mood at once discriminating and generous. proceeding satisfactor ily. at Fountains Abbey are very firs t has been uncovered since the noti ce A great space The excavations on the site of the Abbot' s House, and the rubbish that all around, in consequence of the ex• had accumulated, papers , arches in n bei t n h g e rapidly removed. Tho r the river for nearly three•hundred feet ; but how far the building cooanfvtwah•theioicndbsi:teilosievenhroyowuse has been built cove has extended north and sout it is, at present, impossible to say, for it appears that the hill to the south has been cut away to a considerable extent, and there are, very likely, many curious remains now deeply buried in its shelving bank. The most interesting apartment brought to light within the last week or two, his the private oratory of the abbot, near the eastern portion of the remains. It has been an elegant little chapel of a style of architecture different from any hitherto noticed at Fountains, viz., the enriched dog-toothed Early-English; and has been, .no doubt, as Mr. Wal bran of Ripon informs us, the work of an imme diate successor of the Three Johns, sometime between 1245 and 1290. The stone altar is nearly perfect; end there remains the lower part of a small mysterious stone staircase in the north-east angle—the approach, very probably, of the officiating priest. The encaustic tiles that are continually turned up are both numerous and curious. We are glad to learn that Mr. Walbran is preparing a very full account of the remains of this in teresting building, which, we understand, will be pub lished in some forthcoming number of th e Journal of the Archeological Institut e , illu s tr a ted with necessary cuts and ground-plans. Th o gre atest praise is due . to Captain S. Smith, of Green Royd, Ripon, for the prtss and interest he ha s t a k en in the excavations; ss well as to Mr. W. Mason, the steward of the Abbey Grounds, who has lost n o o pp o rtunity of fully developing the hitherto buried d omic il e of the old Lords of Fountains. ST.
