CIARSON'S ORIGINAL ANTI-CORROSION PAINT, specially patronised by the British and other Go vernments, the Hon. East India Company, the Principal Dock Com panies, and other public bodies, 84c., Is particularly recommended to the Nobility, Gentry, Agriculturists, Manufacturers, West India Pro prietors, and others, it having been proved by the practical test of more than sixty years to surpass all other paints as an out-door pre servative. it is extensively used for the protection of wooden houses, farm and other out-buildings, farming implements, conservatories, park-paling, gates, iron railings, iron hurdles, coiner, zinc, lead, brick, stone, old compo, and stucco fronts, and tiles to represent Wetting. The sureriority of the Anti-Corrosion to every ether paint for out door purposes may be easily inferred from the simple fact, that its use has been always most strenuously opposed by colour manufac turers, painters, oil and colourmen, and others interested in the sale of common paints. It is also very economical, any labourer being able to ay it on. Colours—White stone, light stone, drab or Portland stone, Bath stone, light and dark yellow stone, light and dark oak, light and dark lead, light and dark chocolate, bright and dark red, black, and brown, 345. per cwt. ; invisible green, 50s. ; bright green, 60s. ; deep green, 60, ; and blue, 60s. per cwt. ; in casks 28 lbs., 56 lbs , and 112 lbs. each.

A Copy of the Ti stimonials will be rent on application. No Agents.—All orders are particularly requested to be sent direct _FI NANCIAL REFORM. REDUCTION OF EXPENDITURE. In our advocacy of a Financial Reform, it will be seen that we do not seek to confer a privilege upon one class, at the expense of an other ; but in our transactions, to apply principles of such sterling vallie and universal import as must prove, in the fullest sense of the term, equally advantageous to all. We seek, in fact, to reduce, not the income, but the expenditure, of every individual. How this may be effected the following outline of cur novel, yet well appreciated business system, will readily show. POSSESSING L tIIGE ESTABLISHMENTS in most of the principal towns in Great Britain, our concentrated purchases are necessarily very extensive ; from this cause we arc enabled to obtain materials direct from the manufacturers, for cash, at prices considerably lower than the average. Our garments are de signed and cut by talented artists, and manufactured by experienced workmen ; our profits are calculated at a nominal per-centage upon original cost, and the price is marked on every garment, in plain ures, from *which no deviation is allowed. These facts, together o tilt the accommodation afforded by the exchange of garments not approved after purchase, afford advantages to our patrons such as have bean seldom, if ever, elsewhere presented, enabling them to effect a reduction in their expenditure, at least in the item " Clothing," of not less than 40 per cent., AS the following brief price list will testify to some extent : READY MADE.

TO be SOLD BY AUCTION, at the Bolton Arms Inn, in Leyburn, is the North Riding of the'county Of York, on Trtuasnav, the Gth day of September next, at the hour of Six o'clock in the Evening (subject to conditions to be then pro- duced), the beautiful FREEHOLb ESTATE of SWIM ITH WA IT E, on which stands the mansion of Swinithwaite Hall; with the Manor or reputed Manor of Temple, and the adjoining Freehold Estates of Temple and Adam Bottoms, situate within the parishes of West Wilton and Aysgarth, in the North Riding of the county of York. These, estates, forming together a noble domain of nearly 1,000 acres of rich nVallaw 'and 1 pasture land, in a ring fence, are kit tate& on the banks of the river Yore, in the most i ieturesque part of the beautiful aid fertile valley of Wensleydale, adjoining upon the domains of Lord Bolton and Sir William Chaytor, Bart., and within two miles' distance of Lord Volton's family mansion of Bolton Hall. They are most luxuriously ornamented with fine old timber, and are in a high state of cultivation, with all the buildings in excellent repair. The Mansion House of Swinithwaite Hall is a beautiful gentleman's residence, erected about fifty years ago, in a sheltered situation, en a charming site, backed by fine timber trees, commanding front its south front a view of the bold and magnificent hill of renhal, one of the most conspicuous features of Wensleydale. From its north front a full view is presented of the majestic ruined Castle of Bol ton, for three centuries the baronial fortress of the Lords Scrope, and the place of i nprisonment of Mary Queen of Scots, with its chain of blue hills in the back ground ; and from its east and prin cipal front the windows overlook a log sweep of the richly wooded fertile 'valley, with the noble woods of Bolton in the distance. Tire land adjoining is capable of great embellishment ; and en this part of the estate, and within tpn minutes' walk from the house, through finely undulated ground, a rocky break in the stream of the river forms the beautiful wate:dall of Redmire Force. The 31ans'on comprises entrance hall, dining, drawing, and breakfast rooms, library, servants' hall, and housekeeper's room, with eight bed rooa:s, and numerous well-arrange,' out-offices, comprising ample stables, coach-houses, &c., and affording every convenience adapted to a country gentleman's residence. The Temple house, en the adjoining estate of Temple, is well adapted for the residence of a gentleman of moderate fortune; and on an elevated site on the Temple Estate is placed, amidst ornamental timber and shrubbe ries, an elegantly-built modern tower, in the Italian style of archi tecture, commanding from its windows views of the most Etrik ingly beautiful and picturesque scenery of the valley and of the whole range of its western mountains; the principal feature in the foreground of the front view being the grand and majestic falls of the river 1 ore over the rocks of Aysgarth. Field sports may be had in abundance, as it is in tire very neighbourhood of fine grouse shooting, and there are numerous plantations forming good grme covers on the estates. The river Yore, which forms their northern boundary, for nearly two miles in length, affords excellena trout ; and a pack of harriers is kept at three miles distance. The roads are very good. Indeed, for picturesque beauty of site, verdant richness, and fertility of land, fine grown and profusely scattered ornamental tiknber, and compactness and convenience of local position, these estates present a domain which, for its ecru ple.eness and eligibility as a gentleman's residence, can scarcely be surpassed. The Estates, comprising the Mansion House of Swinithwaite Hall, the Temple House, with the Italian Tower and shrubberies, eight Farms, six f arm Houses, and the Cottages in the village of Swinithwait e , will all be offered for sale in one lot, The Temple Estate is tithe free, and the tithes of the other estates are commuted.

Reader, remember, this letter was put !et the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this eppor tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W.

She will feel a pleasure in answering any lady of respectability to the above fact..-3, Swan-street, Borough." In eases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, afe w drops on the crown of the bead occasionally. every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, mate it strong, and Prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl.

Seldom (since the days of its great celebrity) lrive we met with a better number. It opens with a beautiful tale beau tifully written by the author of " Azeth the Egyp tian," end " Amymone ;" but the most interesting article in this magazine is an abstract of Prosper Merimee's romantic " History of Pedro the Cruel." 'The " Falkland Islands," " Legends of Breslau," Mr. Jolly Green's account of the " Great Paris Ex cursion," the " Sporting Tour," " Denmark, its People and its Faith," " The lonian isles in 1849," " Lorenzo da Ponte," by Dudley Costello, some ad mirable remarks on the " Phenomena of Sleep," &c., fill up the remaining pages of this very excellent number of the New Monthly. ELIZA COOK'S JOURNAL. No. I. There are but few who will ail to welcome this new.publication ; none, certainly, who, on welcoming it, will throw the initial number aside without having derived front it—what it undertakes to impart—both amusement and instruction. We greet an old friend with a new lace in Eliza Cook's Journal—one en deared to us by the recollection of so many common joys and sorrows blent together, of so many conge nial thoughts and sympathies shared between the poetess of Melaia and her readers. Eliza Cook is as sociated with the holy memories of our child hood. The simple strains she has sung so musically in her " unpremeditated verse,' call to the mind of each of us those thousand and one re membrances onfouth which, trivial as they may ap pear in themselves, are beautiful from the fact of their preservation—the flies of memory embalmed in the amber of song! Her melodious voice has summoned up again to our vision the old barn, and the green meadow, and the cowslips, and the pet dog, and the " story books," once dear to us as fairyland, and prized as though they had been sacred, " Beloved as fable, yet believed as truth." l'Ve take a volume of "Eliza Cook" with us when we stroll between the hedgerows, as naturally es we take Falconer in a cruise, or Thomson in a fruit garden, or Herrick after a merrymaking, as 'neurally as we open Waller in a drawing-room, or Somerville in a park, or Day in a sugar plantation, or Walton when we go an-angling. We mark her pages — accordingly as it may be summer or autumn—with a dead leaf or a pansy; in spring a crocus leaf; in winter a leaf of holly. The charm of her ballads is like the air sung by Scrooge's niece, " a thing you could whistle in two minutes," yet with a tone so sweet and plaintive that it revives in fancy " the merry days when we were young," as if with the sound of an enchantment. Eliza Cook's poetry will live—live in the hearts of "the people," for ate has ever ministered to nature, truth, and love—while, to use the comical travestie of one of those old minor poets of England who are too little borne in remembrance (Sir John Henry Moore) — "Full many an elegy has mourned its fate, Beneath some pasty, cabin'd, cribb'd, confined; Ful many an ode has soared in lofty state, Fix'd to a kite, and quivering in the wind." And not only has she sung in tender breathings of "fa miliar song ;' she has poured forth stern and inspiring numbers, calculated to help the work of legitimate le gislation, and lead a people to right and noble feeling. Familiar as we are with the powers of Eliza Cook as a poetess, we rejoice to greet her in her new character as a literary journalist. Her career in editing the new periodical here under consideration opens favourably with the auspices derived from her past reputation. She has before her not a cold and scrutinizing public, but a public whose old friendship renders her reception only remarkable for its cordi ality. We like the plain, honest, home• speaking in her prefatory remarks, " A Word to my Readers." But we like still better her musical retrospect of " Ten Years Ago." Listen to her carolling of all that has passed during that interval between herself and those acquainted with her compositions : " Since then we've mingled cheerfully within our ' House hold Room,' Ye're heard me sing Old Dobbin's' worth, and till _ _ . . Old Pincher's' doom, Ye hailed me in my Murray Plaid,' and listened to my strain, When like a baby in a geld I wove my Daisy', chain; Ye took my simple Old Arm Chair,' ye knew it was a part 01 Love's rich cedar tree, that Death had cut down in my heart: Ye smiled to see my ' Old Straw Hat' laid by with earnest rhyme, And chorused when a' People's Song' awoke your spirit chime; Oh! ma' ya changeful carol lilt has knitted us I trove, Since first my ' Christmas Holly' flourished, ten years ago." "Knitted" thus together by those "changeful carol lilts," we doubt not but that the poetess and her readers will be still more amicably blended in sym pathy through the medium of her new Journal. Among her contributors we already recognise " ' known to us so long in the pages edited by Douglas Jerrold. The present contribution is a story, suggested by a very beautiful conceit, and called, somewhat eccentrically, " The Three Hya cinths before Heaven." The narrative is calculated to render every one who peruses it happier. " Proteus" descants admirably upon the advantages of " Cheap Rending," and good old Peter Parley, more garrulous than ever, prattles to his dear little children in "Les sons" which we arc satisfied will provo very far from disagreeable. Silverpen has another contribution, most sens►ble in argument, on the "Early Closing Ques tion." Eliza Cook herself bids us, in prose which almost rivals her poetry, "Make the best of it;" and, among the other papers, we must not forget to mention the charming and epigrammatic column of "Diamond Dust." Such is the opening number of Eli:. o Cosh's Journal. AINSWORTIL " Crichton " continues with unflagging spirit ; the close of this instalment leaves Blount and his famous Druid in a very unpleasant, and, indeed, perilous position. A little allegory entitled " Ethnos "is suf ficiently appropriate for the times aye live in. I shows how Ethnos (and who Ethnos is will be readily understood by calling to mind the i new science of eth nology, or the study of races) is imprisoned, and how Force and Cunning and Fraud in vain endeavour to extricate him, till Hope, " who could bear this no longer, ran off and fetched Virtue, who brought Freedom and Faith. Knowledge accompanied them, carrying a good handsome lantern to show the way." With such assistance it is not to be doubted that the emancipation of Ethnos was very speedily effected. " Cambrian Isles," No. 111., contains a graceful eulogium upon those impersonations of gracefulness— the fairy people. UNITED SERVICE. The United Service Magazine contains no less than fourteen articles of very various character, ranging "from grave to gay, from lively to severe," e g., "Field Artillery of the principal European States ;" "Notes on Bridles, Saddles, and Stirrups ;" " Pic-nics versus Balls ;" and "Half-pay on the Pave." " Snake-charming" is an interesting anec dote concerning that most curious pecularity of the snake-tribe—their love of music. Besides these articles, we have "Adventures in Australia," "A Week in Boston," "On the African Slave Trade," and "The Ariadne and Le Harpagon." THE ECLECTIC REVIEW. The Eclectic Review, as usual, does justice to its title by the diversified nature of its contents. The articles in the .lay number turn our attention alter nately to Prussia and the Libyan Desert, to Art- Chemistry, and the " Duke of Argyle's Ecclesiasti cal History, to " Sutton's Pcems," and " Quetelet's Theory of Probabilities," to the Rev. James Shore, and to Revolutionized Italy, and finally to the Dis senters, their grievances and their policy. In one of these articles—the review of " Sutton's Poems," we find the following ju , t definition of the poet's mis sion :—" Their demands'. in nothing more a division of employment than in the work of promoting the progress of humanity. There are thousands wl - .0 can mingle in the daily political contest, or who can pro secute the more tender cause of visiting the widow and the fatherless in their affliction.' But the true poet is a more rare personage. It is his high and sacred duty to retire into the closet of reflection and inspiration, and thence send forth the strains that kindle in a thousand hearts the more practical efforts of human life. It is his sacred com mission to work in the good work of enlightening the darkness, and redressing the w ron g s, and soothing the sufferings of his fellow s, b y the hands of millions that start at the trumpet -voice of his call, and labour in the warmth he has diffused." MISCEL L ANL 0 US. The principal article in the Metropolitan concerns Sir Robert Walpole, his life and administration, in which " honour du e " is g iven to the twenty-years' Minister. In some verses to —, we find a—per haps aceidental—plagiarlsm of Tennyson : Music's wico to thine, Is as water unto wine." The Sporting Review is adorned with a por. trait o f chanticleer, the winner of the Don. [PRICE SD. caster Cup,_ 1848, and an engraving of ",The likeliest _ Place," humoursly described in the letter-press by Oxonian. The Farmers' Maga zine gallantly enters the lists against Blackwood on the subject of the services rendered by science to , agriculture. The pictorial contents of the Farmers for May are " Cotswold Rams," and a " rolled Argus Bull." The London Journal and Repertory of Modern Ave, tions contains some very beauti fully designed representations of improvements in steam• engines and railway carriages, and in chrono meters, clocks, &c. The Patent Journal is filled with an abundance of interesting ineormation concerning new inventions and improvements. Numerous as is the list of pet iodicals already before the public, we observe it has recently received an augmentation ir) the Ethical Reformer, the Commonwealth, and the Sporting Times—the titles of which sufficiently in dit.ate their several styles, and the merits or demerits of which time will .probably develop.. The Family Herald, if it were wholly destitute (which it is not) of original merit, would be invaluable as a treasure of selections. Maxims of wit and wisdom, scattered over the pages of a hundred periodicals, are here col lected. Here is a quaint but very expressive simile, which may serve for a sample of the whole :—" Marrying a lady for her beauty is like eating a bird for its singing." The Journal of Public Health deserves a longer notice, which it shall have on another occasion. ['he Church of England Magazine, as we have repeatedly said, furnishes an excellent course of reading for the several Sundays of the month. Murray's Rome and Colonial Library, which we have so frequently coin mended as it deserves, gives us- - month' a --- very interesting account of"A Residence in Sierra Leone. Knight's Monthly Volume, No. XLIV., completes the admirable shilling series, with the conclusion of " Rambles by Rivers." The Land we Live In, Part XXII, is peculiarly interesting. It gives a pen and pencil delineation of "Ayrshire, and the Land of Burns," and the attractions of the description are en hanced by quotations from the poet —more especially when the banks of Ayr are mentioned, the spot where he fondly bade • " Simmer first unfauld her robes, And there the longest tarry, For there I took my last farewell 0' my sweet Highland Mary." The National" Library of Select Literature contains Part IV of " Knight's Studies of bbakspere." The Pictorial History of England introduces us to the times of the great Reform struggle. This number contains a map of South Africa. The Colonial Ma gazine has increased in size and improved in ability. The Colonial Church Chronicle pursues the even tenor of its way. Le Follet is as beautiful as ever. FINE ARTS. THE HALT. Painted by IL T. Ausdell and W. P. Frith, - A.R A. A picture conjointly produced by these artists is now on exhibition at 130, Regent-street, and will very shortly be rendered popular by representation in an engraving, partly in line, partly in mezzotint°, from the practised hand of Mr. 11. T. Ryall. We have recently had the gratification of inspecting the eriginal painting, which evinces a very remarkable unity of feeling on the part of Mr. Ausdell and Mr. Frith. The incident is simple, but charming from its very simplicity. A sportsman, after a merry day's pleasure, has consigned his horse for a while to the care of the ostler at a roadside tavern. The horse, with its veins distended, its head drooping, its saddle glossy from friction, its stirrups dusty—is drinking a long, cool, delicious draught of water from the bucket raised on the crook'd knee of the stableman, who, by the way, seems to be carrying on a little incidental flirtation with the buxom girl leaning with her arm across the mane of the poor steed. The dogs, with an eye to the alleviation of their own thirst, have followed their four-footed comrade, and one of them, with a greedy eye and a vigilant expectation, is watching the drops of water splashed over the edge of the bucket by the bridled mouth of Dobbin. With the exception of the figures, the ostler and the serving maid, the picture is entirely by Ausdell, and it will certainly nut fail to enhance his reputation. Conceived i❑ the style of Herring and Landseer, the " Halt" is no servile imitation. It is painted with great anatomical correctness, and with an artistic regard to every de tail of the manipulation. THE ART JOURNAL. Appearing simultaneously with the opening of the exhibition at the Royal Academy, the interest of the May number of the Art Journal is always in some measure deteriorated. We look, and of course in vain, for some reference to that prominent theme of artistic criticism. Our disappointment of course engenders a longing for the June number, which longing is, as a matter of necessity, to the detriment of the number just published. Howbeit the Art Journal for May is in no respect barren of attraction. The Vernon Gallery, or as Punch calls it, the Ver non I'it, affords apparently inexhaustible subjects for the engravings of this eminent periodical. Besides a very beautiful copy by Bentley, from Constable's " Valley Farm," and one by \Villmore, of Collins's " Prawn Fishers" (both from the Collection in the cellars of the National Gallery), there is a splen did engraving of a sketch taken from John Gibson's noble statue of her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen. 'lle biography of this great sculptor is the most en tertaining contribution to the number, not excepting Mrs. S. C. Hall's pilgrimage to the house of John Kyrie at Ross, or the embellished paper on the Om megang of Brussels. DEATH OF SAMUEL MAUNDER. We have the sorrowful task to announce the death, on Monday, the 30th April, cf this truly excellent man, and most meritorious writer, at Isis house in Gibson-square, Islington. It was but the other day (see Literary Ga zct.te, No. 1,6630 that, in speaking of his portraits, then put fished by Messrs. Longman and Co., we seized the occasion to offer a few remarks upon the great meful ness of his literary career, and his worth as a friend, whom we had known well, and esteemed much, for many a year. Mr. Maunder was the brother-in-law of William Pinnock, (who married his sister,) and who was so justly celebrated for the course he opened and pursued with such ardour in regard to books for educa tional purposes. Pinnock's catechisms will never be for gotten when educaticn is treated of ; and in their pro duction Maunder was the true workman, to who:n the youth of England were chi( fly indebted for their in structien; and also for those of a historical kind, which were no less skilfully and admirably edited. Pinnock had, no doubt, the honour of the origin,! design ; but he was of too enthusiastic and speculative a character to settle fixedly to any one object, however large ; and the profitable trade in his own catechisms and histories (worth several thousand pounds a year) was insufficient to satisfy his ambition; and he diverted his mind from this certain fortune for other schemes, which ended in the confusion of all, and his own ruin. Meanwhile, the honest and painstaking'"Maunder kept steadily on. During several of the early years of the Gazette, (whilst Pinnock and Maunder were its publishers,) and occa sionally since, he has contributed his aid to its columns; but the solid business of his life was addressed to the compilation of those most useful and invaluable volumes, which Messrs. Longman have from time to time brought cut under the well deserved titles of " Maunder's Trea sury of Useful Knowledge," " Maunder's Treasury of History," "Maunder's Scientific and Literary Treasury," " Maunder's Treasury of Natural History," " Maunder's Biographical Treasury," "Maunder's Universal Class Book," &c. The labour bestowed on these publications has always claimed our warmest encomium. Maunder was not a person to undertakeand not to do. Most conscientiously and diligently did he acquit himself of every one of his tasks; and the consequence is, that for general reference there are no works extant (we hardly except the largest Cyclopedias) superior to his neat portable volumes, for every seeker of information. The avidity with which youth and intelligent childhood consult them is the highest testimony, end we know many houses to which we have recommended them, that "go to Maunder" hes become the watchword and advice whenever any difficulty occurred in study or reading. and seldom have we found the appeal made in vain. Upon every ground, thtre.• fore, we venture unhesitatingly to pronounce Mr. Samuel Maunder an eminent benefactor to his kind, and his name, one to be remembered with respect and gratitude by generations yet) unborn. He had not reached a period of life which led us t o fear its so d n de st n a t n e d g i n rmn ( a )d - Lion ; but he has been c alled away, and j . actions, a modest self-estimate and firm integrity, an absolute devotedness to literature in its best sense for educating the mass cf the people—if these qualities and pursuits " smell sweet and blossom in the dust," so long shall his memory be cherished throughout the British empire.—Literary Gaz:.tte. DEATH OF THE LORD BISHOP OF LIMERICK.— BIRMINGHAM, MONDAY.--At the commencement of last week the Hon. and Right %v. Edmond Knox, Bishop of Limerick, arrived here on his way to Ireland, and put up at Beech's Railway Hotel, being at the time suffering from inflammation of the lungs, occasioned by cold. Finding hlan!ell unable to p rosecu t e hi s j ourney, medical advice was procured, but without effect, end his Lordship expired on Thursday. His remains are still at the above hotel, from whence they will be conveyed by railway to Liverpo.l, and thence to Rostrevor, for interment in the hanily vault with his wife, the late Mrs. Knox.

THE KING OF ITANOVER.—Dispatches from Hanover were received in town on Sunday, announcing that his Majesty the King of Hanover had recovered from his recent indisposition. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester visited her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent yesterday at CIRr, nee House, St. James's. The &rl of Burlington had an interview with Sir George Grey yesterday. Air. John Fielding had also an iuturview yesterday with the Right ion. Baronet, at the home-office. TUE GAS QUE3TION.—The controversy as to the reduction of the price of gas in the metropolis, which has hitherto been confined to the city of London proper, is now likely to extend itself to the whole of the gas consuming districts of London. The citizens have long demanded that the two companies, which share between them the monopoly within the walls, should reduce their price from 6s. per 1,000 cubic feet to 45., a demand which they strenuously re sisted, and this gave rise to the City Gas Consumers' Cora pony, which effers to supply the whole City at the maxi mum price of 4s. In order to stave off, if possible, this threatened opposition, the old companies have tardily and reluctantly offered to reduce the price within the City boundary to five shillings, and here for the present they appear resolved to stop, However this reduction might have satisfied the citizens some time back, it now fads short of their expectations, whilst, as a natural con sequence, it is originating demands in other quarters which will speedily press heavily on the attention of these campanies. The City Company and the Chartered Com pany both supply gas beyond the City boundary, the former in the vicinity of Hatton-garden, Saffren-hill, St. John's, Clerkenwell, &c.; and the latter in the parishes of James's, Clerkenwell, St. Luke's, and in the Finsbury deitrict. Some of the more active indi viduals in these districts arc already agitating the ques tion—why they should not also receive from these com panies the benefit of a similar reduction, as the difference between them and their neighb:Jers is a mere conventional line. Tho same demand will also pro bably exti nil to the districts supplied by the Chartered Company, from Park-lane on the west to the City boundary cn the east, and from Oxford-street and Ilolborn on the north to the Thames and Vauxhall-bridge on the south. The various other metro plum companies who have supported the two City companies in the uniform priA ot Gs. will also feel more or less the defection of the latter from the uniformity compact. Be that as it may, it is impossible cot to foresee that the concession of cheaper gas must ere long be ex tended by the existing companies considerably beyond the limits to which it is at present proposed to confine it. ST. GEORGE'S HOSPITAL.—The prizes in the me dical school of St. George's hospital for the past ses sion were di.tributed yesterday in the presence of a numerous body of spectators by the Dean of West minster, who, in avvardieg the honours, made some very interesting observations upon the importance of the different departments of study in which they had been won.

OFFICIAL RETIREMENTS.—It is said to be in oicon templation to make retirement compulsory ota n of civil servan ts above sixty years of age, the practice g i c n o t n erest.

Mr. Birch has now entered upon his responsible duties as a tutor to the heir apparent, which, we under stand, were to commence the week after Easter. Mr. Birch will reside with Royal establishment, and will of course travel with his Royal and illustrious pupil from place to place, as her Majesty may feel disposed to change her residence .—Aylesbury News.
