It is, therefore, no metier of surprise that he should enjoy the reputation of being a most dexterous and skinl manipu ator With urethral instruments; and when it is remembered that the lamented Liston used to assert that the introduction of instruments through a stricture which had previously been impermeable to them, was the most difficult in the whole range of surgical operations, it must be no slight source of gratification on Mr. 'ourtenay's part. to have achieved the reputation he has in this res ,ect ; and for our part, with the knowledge we have of his experience, we know of no man to whose care we would with greater confidence entrust the treatment of a severe case of stricture of the urethra."—Medical Circa' ar.

TRIESEMAR, protected by Royal Letters Patent of England, and secured by the Seals of the Ecole de Pharmacie de Paris, and the Imperial College of Medicine, Vienna. TRIESEMAR, No. 1, is a remedy for Relaxation. ipermatorrhcea. and Exhaustion of the Syetein, whether arising from excesses, accident, or climate. V. those persons who are prevented entering the married state by the consequences of early errors it is invaluable. TRIESEMAR, No. 2, effectually, in the short space of three days, completely and entirely eradicates all traces of those Disorders which Capivi and Cubebs .ave so long been thought an antidote for, to the ruin of the health t a vast portion of the population. TRIESEMAR, No. 3, is the great Continental Remedy for that class of Disorders, which mfortunately the English physician treats with Mercury, to the in evitable destruction of the patient's constitution, and which all the sarsaparilla in the world cannot remove.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S -YESTERDAY. Notwithstanding the celebration of the Derby meet ing, and the proximity of the gathering at Doncaster, a tolerable number of the members congregated at the sub scription rooms. The early part of the afternoon was chiefly devoted to the settlement of accounts in connec tion with the Liverpool events of the preceding week. Speculation was limited, and, with one or two exceptions, the investments made were inconsiderable. DONCASTER HANDICAP.—The only animals backed were Alonzo and Lady - Vernon-6 to 1 being taken about the former, and 8 to 1 about the latter. DONCASTER STEEPLECHASE.—Boundaway, Bourton, Teddesley, and Little Charley were severally backed at 10 to 1 each, to a small amount. CITY AND SUBURBAN HANDICAP.—Seducer came into the market, and was supported at 16 to 1. Nothing else named. GREAT METROPOLITAN.—PhareaIus was in some favour at 6 to 1, Curcebus receded to 10 to 1, at which price Fandango was also Lacked, 12 to 1 was taken about Redlamb:, and 20 to 1 very freely about Vandyke. CHESTER CUP.—Marc Antony maintained his position at 25 to 1, and Schatnyl at 30 to 1 ; Bolton was backed, as was also Star of Surrey, at 40 to 1 ; Legacy was at 50 to 1, and Weathercock was a fixture at the same price. Two THOUSAND GUINEAS.-2 to 1 was taken about St. Hubert, 7 to 2 about Lord of the Isles, 500 to 50 about Polydore, and 20 to 1 about Claret. THE DERBY. —The betting on this event was too flat and insignificant to require comment.

Rear-Admiral the Hon. Richard Saunders Dundas, C.B , arrived at Portsmouth yesterday, and hoisted his . flag (blue at the mizen) on board the Duke of Welling ton, 131, Captain Cali well, a s C omman d er -i n -chief of the Baltic fleet. He saluted the port-admiral .(his senior oflicer),.Sir Thomas Cochrane, K.C.8., with 15 guns, which Sir Thomas acknowledged by firing 13 from the Victory. The Orion, 91,, screw steam-ship, Captain H. E. Erskine, is ordered to get her strain up at Sheerness to• day, and steam round to Spithead. The Adder steam ve3sel is to fallow with sails, &c. The Edinburgh, screw block-ship, Captain Hewlett, will haul out of Oock in Portsmouth yard to-day, and proceed to complete her refit in the basin. The Penelope, 18, paddle-frigate, Captain Sir William Wiseman, Bart., left Spithead yesterday at 3 p.m. for Cork, to embark Royal Artillery for the Cape •of Good Hope. The Rhaclamanthus steam store-ship, Master Com mander John Belam, arrived at Woolwich yesterday from Portsmouth. The steam gunboat Ruby arrived in Portsmouth har bour on Sunday evening from the westward. The guns have been all mounted at the new battery, Sconce Point, Isle of Wight, and the works for a for midable redoubt commenced at Freshwater-gate, Isle of Wight. AN APPEAL FOR THE FAMISHING. The pressure of severe destitution is, we regret to say, again experienced by numbers of the poor in the Hebrides and West Highlands, whose case has been taken up by a number of gentlemen in 'London, who are identified with efforts for ameliorating the condition of the highlanders, through the best of all inqtramentalitieß, viz., by developing their industrial resources ; in a word, by " helping the poor to help themselves." The coin mittee say owing to a more extensive failure last autumn of the potato than in any previous year, and a wet acid bad harvest of the scanty cereal crops grown by the poor inhabitants of parts of the West highlands, and of the Hebrides, including Skye, Mull, and Ilay, not merely want and hunger, but destitution °fan Warming charac ter afflicts numbers of the population. By the existing Poor Law of Scotland, no able-bodied person, however destitute of the means of subsistence, posiesses a claim, a 4 in England and in Ireland, to workhouse, or out door relief, as a refuge from starvation. It is only when disabled by famine, or other casualty, that a pittance, hardly sufficient to keep the body and soul together, can be claimed of the inspector ofthe poor of a parish, generally as extensive as an English county, with lofty mountains, or stormy firths lying between the destitute and the poor law official, who can not ascertain the period when famine has reduced the o: ince hardy and athletic Highlanders to physical dis ablement, so as to prevent exhaustion and exposure re sulting in death. The directors of the Royal Patriotic and Industrial Society of Scotland, having in 1851 relieved destitution in the Highlands by employing poor families in weaving of cloth, and the knitting of hosiery which they have introduced into the London mat ket, by establishing a depot for their sale at 196, Pic cadilly, are again importuned by ministers of religion, and other trustworthy persons, to resume and largely to extend the sphere of their inlustrial relief—the posi tion of the people, until the ingathering of the next crop, being most destitute and alarming. Every true patriot must have viewed with gratitude and pride the heroic defence of Balaklava by the 93d High landers, though opposed to the hordes of Russia, who, had they overcome that wall of fire and steel, might have destroyed that town with its magazines and ship ping, and have added a disastrous defeat to the other calamities of the campaign. The hardy sons of the mountain and the flood, however, stood invulnerably firm in defence of the interests of their country, and of humanity—and shall no sympathy be felt by the Bri tish public for their suffering Highland kindred, when a shilling or eighteen pence a week, conveyed in the best possible form---of wages, in return for industry— will supply the wants of a may, accustomed to live thriftily and simply on a little oatmeal ? Shall no inte rest be felt, no effort be made, where there are, on ac count of remoteness of locality, of unequal Poor-law legislation, and of great destitution of food and clothing, such urgent claims upon Christian charity, and such immunities against the possibility of its abuse ? The directors confide.itly anticipate a different result, and will be happy to afford further infor:nation, and to receive contributions, which will be immediately de spatched to districts, which the exhausted funds of the Society have hitherto been unable to relieve. Ministers of religion, and benevolent ladies and gentlemen, are solicited to originate collections in their various locali ties, and to forward the amounts as announced in our advertising columns. THE TRANSPORT SERVICE. It is intended to augment the Land Transport Corps, which will be attached exclusively to the Quarter- Master-Genaral's Department, and to WillOh such an auxiliary was found to be most effective during the Pe ninsular War. The train will consist of 1,000 drivers, and be officered in a similar manner to the old Waggon Train, viz., the corps will be under the command of a lieutenant-colonel, and divided into 10 troops of 100 men each, under the command of a captain and two lieutenants. The commissariat corps of waggoners, as the name denotes, will be under the orders of the Com missary-General commanding, and will also consist of 1,000 drivers, superintended by an Assistant Commis sary-General, with the local rank of lieutenant colonel. The corps will be divided into 10 troops of 100 men cache officered by a captain, two lieutenants, two in spectors, and a quartermaster. Two troops, or a squad ron, will be attached to each division of the army, the drivers of each corps will be armed with a cavalry car bine, a sabre, and revolver, and the uniform is to be a short blue tunic, without lace or ornament, with the ex ception of the officers, who will wear the epaulettes of their respective ranks. Each troop will, however, be distinguishable by different coloured facings, as the blue troop, red troop, green troop, &c. As each driver will have the charge of two horses or mules, 4,000 animals will be required for the service. A large portion of the force has already proceeded to the seat of war • and, as a sufficiency of men cannot be obtained from the police, recruiting parties had been sent into the agricultural districts to enlist them. A depot for instructing re cruits is to be formed at Croydon, which was formerly the head-quarters of the Waggon Train. On Saturday, the Great Britain steamer, the arrival of which in Queenstown we have noticed, received on board, by the river steamers, draughts from the follow ing regiments, each draught consisting of 132 men, rank and file-17th, 21st, 30th, 49th, 57th, 62d, and 63d. Draughts from the following regiments were to embark on Sunday and Monday :-63d, 68th, 41st, 47th, and 55th. The Great Britain will take altogether 1,500 men, and 140 officers and 15 horses. She is not ex pected to sail before Monday. The screw steam-transport Victory, of Limerick, Rose, master, from Limerick, in ballast, arrived at P or t smou th yesterday morning to ship stores and a few troops for the seat of war. The question was asked on Sunday of the authorities at Portsmouth, whether the General Screw Steam Shipping Company's transport Crcesus could carry two months' coals; from which an opinion got abroad that it was contemplated to send her off to the Cape forthwith with troops, but we heard nothing further yesterday. The Harbinger steamer is now being laden at Black wall, with stores for the sick and wounded at Scutari, and munitions of war for the Crimea, and will leave in the course of the week. The total number of regular transports taken up by the Admiralty for the war, and numbered, is 201 ; of these 15 have been lost, leaving 185 now actively em ployed in the service. MILITARY. The draughts for the cavalry regiments in the Crimea and the regiments under orders are directed to be held in readiness to proceed to the seat of war. It is in tended to augment those regiments at present. there by two troops of 80 men each. The following regiments will be immediately increased in strength—viz, 4th Dragoon Guards, sth ditto, Ist Royal Dragoons, 2d North British Dragoons (Scots Greys,) 4th Light Dra goons, 6th Enniskillen Dragoons, Bth Hussars, 11th ditto, 13th Light Dragoons, and 17th Lancers. The 10th Hussars are to be forthwith augmented to 809 sabres. To effect the above simultaneously several horse transports ar.ita be taken up, in addition to those at presetit in the service. Y,sterday, and on Saturday, several more of the Guards who were wounded at Alma and Inkerman ar rived at the hospital barracks of the brigade, Rochester row, WestininA.:r. Some of them had lost a leg, some an arm, &c., but they were all in good spirits, and were cordially welcomed by their comra les. They were ad mitted into the hospitals of the regiments to which they were attached, in connexion with which, also, in conse quence of many more wounded being expected, premises adjoining have been taken, which have been fitted up as a temporary hospital. The men spoke highly of the at tention paid to them in their voyage home in the Creesus, by Dr. Riley, the Acting Assistant Staff-Sur geon. 152 invalids arrived at Chatham, on Saturday, from the Crimea. Many of the cavalry soldiers show the effect of severe sabre wounds received at the grand charge at Balaklava. They all speak in the very highest and most grateful terms of Miss Nightingale. Twenty-three non-commissioned officers and gunners of the Royal Artillery, sick and wounded, from the Crimea, arrived at the Ordnance Hospital at Woolwich on Friday evening. They came home in the Arabia to Portsmouth. Two non-commissioned officers and 44 privates left Woolwich on Saturday for Chatham, where they are to go through a course of instruction in fortification, and raising of fieldworks, under the heads of the Engineer department. 24 men of the East India Company's, service from Warley Barracks, arrived on the same day, to be instructed as Sappers and Miners. The 29th Regiment is ordered to allow of no more volunteers from the corps to other regiments, as it is expected the regiment will be ordered to the Crimea. A draught, consisting of one field-officer, two captains, four subalterns, and 150 rank and file of the 60th Rifles, left hne board Cork, where they will embark service companies at P r eparations have alread y c ommenced for the forma tion of an encamp ment l on the Curr agh of Kildare.

On Saturday night' last, Mrs. Sarah May, aged 45 years, residing with her husband at No: 4, Eden-place, Old Kent-road, left her home for the purpose of pur• chasing a blacklead brush, and not returning up to 12 o'clock her husband, who is at present but a labouring man, but wko had formerly been in good circumstances, went in search of her ; but, though he walked about during the whole of the night, and made inquiries of every policeman he met, he could not obtain the slight est intelligence about her. • On Sunday morning, about 7 o'clock, a labouring man, named John Biddle, resid ing at Perry-vale, Forest-hill, accompanied by his son, in crossing a large field on what is known as "Tagg's Farm," was attracted by the violent barking of his dog, and, en going to the spot where the animal stood, the shocking spectacle of the body of a woman placed on her back, with her clothes turned over her head and part of her person and legs exposed, was presented to his view. The body lay in a deep furrow or watercourse, and, on examining it, Biddle found it perfectly cold and lifeless, With marks of severe violence on the counte• nance, one of the tkigha much scratched, and all the ap pearances indicating that she had been both abused and murdered. Biddle and his see want in quest of assist ance, and meeting Police constable John Arthur, 96 P, they informed him of the discovery they had made, and Arthur, having procured the assitance of other constables, a stretcher was brought, end the body was removed to Camberwell Workhouse. These it was care fully examined by the parish surgeon, and it was the decided opinion of that gentleman that death had been produced by violence. In the meantime information was forwarded t 3 Lock's-fields police station, and Mr. Lund, the superintendent of the P Division, accompa nied by Sergeant Quinnear; proceeded to Camberwell Workhouse, and subsequently set about making active inquiries re - -pecting the deceased. Sorgeant Bend, 2 P, was also enga,,Ted in the inquiry, and, from what all coull learn, it appears that about one o'clock on Sunday morning the deceased was seen by Police constable Charles Sparrow, 90 P, in the Queen's road, Peckham, in company with a respectably-dressed man, and both were then proceeding towards New-cross gate. This is the last time she was seen alive; Quinnear also learnt that, on hearing of the discovery, two gen• tlemen, one a Mr. Gosling, and the other Mr. Baker, had traced the footsteps of a single person, and that evidently a man from a bridge on the Crystal Palace line of Railway, and not far from the Dartmouth Arms, public house, to where the body lay, and traces of blood on the snow were then quite visible, but the traffic through has obliterated all trace of the footsteps as well as the blood. The description given by the husband to the police of the deceased left no doubt on the minds of the constables that she was the same person, and soon after the body was removed to the workhouse the hus• band was sent for. On seeing the body the poor man at once recognised it as that of his wife. He also informed the officers that the deceased bad for some time past complained of her head, and appeared to suffer much from anxiety from their altered circumstances, and more particularly since an execution had been levied on their goods ; but still he could not think that she meditated suicide. He further said, that before leaving home on Saturday night he gave her ls. to purchase the blacklead brush with, and she might at the tims have bad 2s. or 3s. of her own, but he should think no more. He did not, he said, observe anything more than ordinary about her on the Saturday evening, nor bad anything taken place between them to disturb her mind ; nor did he know any friend or acquaintance of hers who could be in her company at such an hour as that described by the constable 96 P. Sergeant Quinnear mentioned one singular fact con nected with the dreadful affair—that at the time the body was found it was stripped of both shoes and stockings. Yet there was lying on the bank by its side a drawn velvet bonnet, belonging to the deceased, not in the least degree soiled or injured, and this circumstance confirms that officer in his suspicions that the body must have been carried to where it had been foun , l, for, had the de ceased herself scrambled a distance of three miles and upwards, which she must have done through hedge and ditch, her bonnet must have been destroyed or torn to pieces. His impression is that the violence, which re sulted in her death, must have been inflicted at the rail way-bridge, and that the body had been carried by the person whose footsteps had been noticed by Mr Gosling from there to where it bad been found. Had it not been for the accidental circumstance of Biddle crossing the field and having a deg with him, the body might have lain for many days where it has been found, as it is a secluded spot, and the body itself could not have been seen from any distance.

The following account of the Emperor of Russia's last days and hours and minutes may be interesting - to your readers ; it will be evident, however, from its perusal th at it proceeds from a Russian or philo - Russian source. I It is dated St. Petersburg, March 3 : As it now turns out, his Majesty had been for some time violently affected with firippe. About the 18th of February his body physician, Dr. Mona, begged for per mission to call in other physicians. The Emperor took this very lightly, and turned it off with a joke, but con sented that the body-physician, Dr. Earell, should be also consulted. The Emperor became worse by degrees from want of sleep and increased cough, with plentiful expectoration, so that the physicians, on the 22d, begged his Majesty would keep his room. The Emperor would not hear a word of it ; on which one of the physicians said to him—" No medical man in the whole army would allow any soldier as unwell as your Majesty is to leave the hospi tal, for be would be sure that his patient would soon come in again worse." The Emperor answered, " You have done your duty, gentlemen, and I thank you, and now I will do mine ;" and on this he got into his sledge in rather cold weather, and drove to the Exercising House to see some men of the Infantry of the Guard, that were about to march into Lithuania to make up the complement of the regiments there. At this inspection, which was the last occasion of the Emperor's being seen in public, he was evidently very unwell, coughed violently, expectorated excessively, and said as he went away, " 1 am in a perfect bath (of per spiration)," although it was anything but warm in the Exercising House. The Emperor then drove to Prince Dolgorouki, the Minister of War, who was ill, cautioned him not to go out too soon, and then returned to the Winter Palace. In the evening he was present at the prayers for the first week of Lent, stayed some time with the Empress, but complained of being cold, and kept his cloak on in the room. From that evening the Emperor did not quit his little study. It was there, on 23d February, that he received his }lnge' Adjutant Colonel von Tettenborn, and despatched him to Sebastopol ; all the while lying on the sofa and covered up with his cloak. After that his Majesty transferred all business into the hands of the Grand Duke Alexander. The days from the 24th to 27th February passed over without one's learning anything further on inquiry than that " the Emperor does not leave his bed, as he is somewhat feverish ; the cough is getting less and less hard," &c. During the whole time he was ill the Emperor lay only on his camp bed, i.e., on a casing of Russia leather filled with hay, a bolster of the same kind, and with a blanket and his cloak over him. It was not till February 28 that his state was looked on as decidedly serious. On that night he became rapidly worse. The physicians apprehended a paralysis of the lungs. On the evening of March 1 they despaired of his recovery. The Empress and the Crown Prince begged him, at the request of the physicians, to take the sacrament. It was not till then that the Emperor seems to have recognised the real danger of his state ; but hardly any shock is stated to have been noticeable in him. In the night, from the Ist to the 2d inst., Dr. Mandt communicated to the Emperor that he was dangerously ill, and that more particularly his lungs were violently affected, and gave great ground for apprehension. The Emperor answered very calmly, " And so you think that I an liable to a paralysis of the lungs ! " To which Dr. Mandt answered, " Such a result is very pos sible." On this the Emperor very calmly and collectedly took the sacrament, took leave of the Empress, their child ren and grandchildren, kissed each, and blessed each one, with a firm voice, and then retained only the Em press and the Crown Prince with him. This was about 4 o'clock in the morning. The Emperor said subsequently- to the Empress, "Do go now and take a little rest, I beg of you." She answered, " Let me remain with you ; I would I could depart with you, if it were only possible." To this the Emperor replied, "No ; you must remain here on earth. Take care of your health, so that you may be the centre of the whole family. Go now ; I will send for you when the moment approaches." The Empress could not do otherwise than obey this distinct expression of the Emperor's will, and left the room. The Emperor then sent fur Graf Orloff, Graf Adlerberg, and Prince Dolgorouki, thanked them for their fidelity, and bade them farewell. Subsequently the Emperor Lad all the servants immediately about hi n sent in: thanked them fur their services, blessed them, and took leave of them ; on which occasion he is said to have been himself very much affected. Last of all the Knmmerfrau von Rohrbeck was sent for. The Emperor thanked her for the fidelity she had always shcwn the Empress, fur the care with which she bad always tended her in sickness, begged her never to gait the Empress, and ended with, `• A , id remember me kindly at Peterhof, that I'm so fond of." The Emperor pre.sed Dr. Karen's baud, and said to him, "It is no fault of yours." Whilst, the Emperor's father confessor was speaking with him he took the Empress's hand and put it into the priest's, as if he would confide the Empress to the eccle ,iastic. After this the Emperor lost his speech for a while, during which time he was engaged in prayer, and crossed hlinself repeatedly, He sutmequntly regained his voice, aid spoke fr)m time to time up to his decease, which took place without a struggle in the presence of the whole . _ family, March 2, at ten minutes past noon. Almost the last articulate words that the Emperor spoke were, " Dittes h Fritz (King of Prussia) de rester tonjours le memo pour la Russie, et de ne pas oublier les paroles de papa" (the late King of Prussia). At first the face of the corpse was very much sunk and fallen in. But, in the evening, the fine features had become more imposing tban ever from their repose and regularity. Up to the present time the Empress has borne this unexpected blow with wonderful strength. Yesterday evening she passed an hour alone with the corpse. The consternation which overcame every one at the suddenness of this fearful blow is now giving place to the feelings of pain and grief. THE LWITED STATES. NEW Yon - K 2 Feb. 2—The most important mea• sure of the week is the new Tariff Bill, which was appended to the General Appropriation Bill on Saturday last, and passed to be enacted by an un expected vote, and is now pending in the Senate. The following is a copy of the important parts of the bill : " Be it further enacted, that on and after the Ist day of July, 1855, there shall be a reduction of 20 per cent. on the rates cf duty imposed by the act entitled An Act Reducing the Duty on Imports, and for other Pur poses,' approved the 30th of July, 1846, on the goods, wares, and merchandise imported from forei g n countries, enumerated and provided for in schedules A, B, C, 1), E, F, G, and H, and also those provided for in the 3d section of the said act, except as hereinafter provided. " Sect. I.—And be it further enacted, that the fol lowing named articles embraced in schedule D of the said act of July 31, 1846, be and they are hereby transferred to schedule C, to wit :—Manufactures and articles of silk, or of which silk shall be a component material; that the manufactures and articles of flax, or of which flax shall be a component material, and blankets of all kinds embraced in schedule E of the said act of the 31st July, 1846, be transferred to schedule I) ; that wool, unmanu factured, shall be transferred to schedule G ; that flax, unmanufactured, silk, raw, with or without the gum, not being doubled, twisted, or advanced in manufactures in any way ; jute, manilla, and sisal grass, coir, and other vegetable substances unmanufactured, not otherwise provided for ; lac spirits, lac sulphur, lamp black, Prue' sian blue, articles not in a crude state used in dyeing or tanning, not otherwise provided for ; brimstone crude in bulk, cream of tartar, extracts of indigo, indiarabber in bottl, s, slabs or sheet unmanufactured, extract of madder, barilla, cudbear, bleaching powder, or chloride of lime, indigo, cochineal, woad or pastel ; acids, acetic, benzoic, boracic, citric, muriatio white and yellow, nitric, oxalic, pyroligneous and tartaric, and all other acids used for chemical, medicinal, or manufacturing purposes not otherwise provided for, be transferred to schedule H ; an d that salt, berries, nuts, flowers, plants, and vegetables, used exclusively in dyeing or in com posing dyes —but no article shall be eassed as such that has undergone any manufacture—Brazil wood, brazil letto, and all other dyewoods in sticks ' • burr stones, wr ought or unwrought, codilla, or tow of hemp or flax ; fruits ant vegetables, green or ripe, not otherwise pro vided for; garden seeds and all other seeds for agricul tural, horticultural, medicinal, and manufacturing pur poses, not otherwise provided for ; bolting cloths ; mad der-root, madder, ground or prepared ; ioe, animals of all kinds, be transferred to schedule I. " Sect. —.--And be it further enacted ,that all goods, wares, and merchandise which shall be imported from foreign countries, after the passage of this act, and be in public stores on the Ist day of July aforesaid, shall be subject, on entry thereof for consumption, to no other duty than if the same had been imported respectively after that day." It this bill becomes a law, brandies, distilled liquers, cordials, 4.-e., will pay an ad valorem duty of from 80 to 100 per cent. ; wines, cigars, snuff, cut glass, meats, preserved fruits, g c., from 32 to 40 per cent. ; iron, cotton fabrics, woollen fa blies, carpets, ale, clothing, coal, cutlery, furniture, glass tumblers (not cut),liats,liemp, jowollery,laces. linen manufacture 3, molasses, paper, pepper, plated ware, silk manufactures, soap, sugar, raw tobacc ), wares of brass, iron, copper, zinc, ck:e., will pay 24 per cent, ad valorem, instead of 30 per cent. as hereto fore ; unmanufactured wool will pay 8 per cent. ; blankets and flannels 20 per cent. ; and ravings, periodicals, kc., hitherto paying 10 per books, eu cent., will pay 8 per cent. It is rein,rkable that a this important move in favour brought about by the votes of the Massachusetts Delegation, hitherto the stanchest advocates of pro tection. I) if 4TION4Z riontrrnisoN or rpm And I On Saturday last, the eighth annual exhibition of this institution was opened at the Portland Gallery, Regent , street. The number of pictures shown was perhaps !in. mushy large, while, in point of merit, the exhibition was about an average one. The variety, however, Niss s not so great as could have been desired. Out of up• wards of 520 paintings, not more than some two or three purely equine sketches caught our eye, and not one canine. The number of marine views was small, and I consisted mainly of sketches of coast scenery. Some of these possessed considerable merit. The portraits ex* hibited were f ew i n num b er, b ut i n c h arac ter and exeoue tion were not behind-hand. As for pictures of an his• torical character, we believe there was one or two. If so, that was all. The most remarkable deficiency, how -1 ever, was in battle pieces. Not a single warlike dent of the mighty struggle now going on between the greatest nations of the world was to be found reproduced by a single contributor. The only picture, in fact, hav ing any pretensions te be called a battle-piece represents a skirmish—a memorable one, it is true—which took place is South Carolina seventy or more years tip). Even the heroism and eevotion of Miss Nightingsrie, and her noble feminine coadjutors, have failed to suggest materials fur a single picture ! Among the best features of the exhibition were the representations of mountain scenery ; of the inane landscapes and rural views not a few were productions of decided merit. The illustrations of flowers and fruit were pleasing, and those of "The Freshwater Fishes of England," by H. L. Rolfe, Vero worthy of much praise. As it would he impossible to notice every picture which attracted our attention, we must be contented with noticing a few, thereby necessarily excluding several of more than average merit. In the first room (No. 7) " The Freshwater Fishes of England," by H. L. Rolfe, challenged immediate attention, and cannot fail to elicit gen era! admiration. From the tiny minnow to 910 full-grown salmon every variety is here portrayed with admirable fidelity and discrimination. Not a scale seems awry, nor a natural tinge, h o wever fleeting, overlooked. (1) "Cock Robin and Jenny Wren," H. Barnard. A pleasing composition. The partly simulated and almost comic wonderment of the younger of the two children engaged with the story book, as she nestles at her sister ! side, is worthy of notice. (23) " The Gipsy Family," Harry Hall. And a gipsy family it is to the very donkies, as an Irishman might say. But what trees I (29) "Kate Kearney." Bold, free, and flowing. But the lower limbs ! Those who have a good opinion of Kate's understandings will not readily believe she would stand that way of her own accord. (30) "Twilight on the mountains, &c.," T. W. Heinle. Ultramarine, vermillion, chrome yellow and umber un equally distributed, the first being in excess. (33) "A Break in the Clouds," Arthur Gilbert, and (42) "Scene on the Coast, Isle of Wight," E. Williams, sen. Both fine pictures. In the last, the effects of moonlight and firelight, are beautifully rendered. (45) " The G-ow Chrom and Louise," R. S. Lauder, R.S.A. We can not realise the brave bandy-legged smith of Scott in this picture. There is, however, considerable merit in the Louise. The abandon, of the wandering gleewoman is preserved in the looks, garments, and gait. (58) " Morn ing on the Banks of the Thames," G. A. Williams. A pleasing picture. (77) Battle of Stone Ferry," R. H. M'lan, A.R.S.A. A large picture of striking merit. The incident it illustrates is the memorable skirmish in which the 71st Regiment of Frazer Highlanders were engaged in 1779, in South Carolina. It is vigorously drawn, and national peculiarities are carefully l resented. The Highlanders have Scottish faces, and the colonists and Indians look and do battle after their fashion. (86) "A. Russian dealer of the Gostveaordor," W. Cave Thomas, and (359) "Dealing in the North," by the same artist, possess character, and are skilfully executed. We never saw fur better delineated. (97) "Hamlet and Ophelia," W. Maw Egley. Au original picture of unequal merit. There is a world of woe in the eyes of the ill-fated Prince, and not a little natural consternation in those of Ophelia. iflainlet'e madness, hoe-ever, is not extra vagant enough for simulation. His Lair, too, is not human, and Ophelia's robes are too statuesque in their flow. Still, both imagination and observation, and some degree of skill, have gone to the composition of this picture. We may here notice three clever portraits by Bell Smith, and one by A. Wevell. (110) "On the Beacb," E. C. Williams. Why make the " green" so very green ? (80) " The Present," T. Underhill. A pleasing composition, rather undertoned. (147) "Juba," 11. Barraud. An equine portrait, full of life and intelli gence. (164) " Vesper Chimes," and (665) " A Fish monger at Venice," by Karl Hartman. Vigorously drawn and painted pictures, especially the latter. If the artist be young, a career lies before him. (201) " Little Red hiding Hood," Mies Clifford Smith. A clever little picture. (251) " A Lane near Tyngrove Hill," A. W. Williams. Picturesque, but hardly sub dued enough in tone. (264) " Ferreting Rabbits," H. P. Parker. A bit of real life. The expression of the old poacher's countenance is admirable. The ferret and he seem to have much in common. (322) "Contentment," H. P. Parker. The homely earnestness of the male figure engaged in cutting a loaf is worthy of notice. (355) " Wet and Windy," John Thorpe. A coast view cleverly executed and true to nature. (370) "The Cl me of a Summer Day," G. A. Williams. (374) "The For tuue Teller," Daniel Passmore ; and " Behind the Tsuestry," by the same artist, are noticeable pictures. " Sir Tristram 'reaching La Beale Isonde the Harp," J. F. Lauder, R.S.A. One of the largest and most ambitious pictures in the Exhibition ; of con siderable but unequal merit. The " Fairest Lady of the Wor!d" is nut to our taste. Sir Tristram, however, has inure justice done to,,hirn. The figures are quite large et.ough and are not sufficiently relieved. (379) " A Gleam of Morning Sunshine," T. J. Ewbauk. A pleasing subject, artistically and feelingly treated. (3SB) "Crossing the Feiry," E. W. Williaine, sen. Another night scone by this clever artist. (401) "Autumn in the Highlands," Sydney Percy. One of the finest pictures in _the exhibition, worthy of the gran deur of the scenery it represent=. (456) " Scene near Chertsey," A. F. Rolfe. A meritorious picture. (425) " Snowing," G. A. Williams. True to nature and to Thomson. (522) "In the Fields near Hampstead," N. E. Green. Painted from nature, and in the love of it. A fine picture. Among the contributions we have not had space to notice, are one by Miss Hewitt, and others by Mrs. and Miss Paulson, Mrs. Withers, Mrs. Oliver, and W. Duffield ; all paintings of merit. Among the illustrators of Shakspere, Frederic Weekes, Frank Mildmay, and E. W. Ruesell may be honourably mentioned. The exhibition was well attended by fashionable visitors, though the weather was un favourable. TEE MARSDEN CASE. The trial of Mlle. Doudet, who was acquitted by the Court of Assizes of the charge brought against her of causing the death of the children of 1)r. Marsden by ill usage, commenced on Friday before the Tribunal of Correctional Police. The court was crowded, and among the audience were a great number of ladies. The counts of the indictment against the prisoner are—lst, for hav ing, in 1852 and 1853, Voluntarily given blows and in fi cted wounds on Emily, Rose, and Alice Marsden, which blows and wounds did not occa , ion an illness or an incapacity for personal labour - tor more than 20 days ; 2dly, for having, in 1851 and in 1853, given blows to and inflicted wounds on Lucy Marsden, without those blows and wounds having occasioned an incapacity for personal labour for more than 20 days—offences pro vided for by Arts. 309 and 311 of the Penal Code. M. Chaix d'Est Ancre appeared, as on the former trial, as counsel for Dr. Marsden, the partie eirile, and M. Nogent St. Laurens for the defence. The Marsden girls were in court, and seemed the very picture of health. The prisoner came into court, dressed in black ; and, in con sequence of the weak state of her health, was accom modated with a chair. She looked better, however, than when she was tried by the Court of Assizes. The pro ceedings of the day presented no novelty whatever. Dr. Marsden and his little daughters, as well as the wit nesses Tassin, Espert, Hooper, Pacot, Poussielgue, and h S a u d d r t o ra deposed to c h t i l l i d e r c e r n uel manner confided which care. t h e Thepr prisoner o p n r e or. pro ceedings were adjourned. te in her The trial continued on Saturday. Nearly the whole day was occupied with the examination of witnesses fur the defence. The proceedings were then adjourned. AFFAIR OF HONOUR. On Thursday morning a p ersona l encoun t er t oo k place between two gentlemen pretty well known in this city (Cork)—one a retired captain, lately come to reside in the neighbourhood of Cork, and who has made himself conspicuous on several occasions for his pugnacious demeanour —the other a young gentleman, son of a late major, residing about a mile from the city. It ap pears that on Wednesday evening the two "gentlemen" were playing at billi.rds, in company with several other parties, when Captain made a remark to the effect that "he was the crtly gentleman present, all the rest of the company being common potato feeders"— an observation which roused the indignation of the young gentleman already alluded to, who then and there defied the captain to mortal combat. The challenge was accepted, and the affair was arranged to come off. the following morning at Ballinamought. Seconds were procured, and on Th urs d ay morn i ng t h e t wo " princi pals" with their seconds proceeded in a car to the ground. Two shots were fired on each side, when the gallant captain observed with an oath that " he was very sorry for what he said last night, as his antagonist had shown himself a gentleman by the spunky manner in which he had behaved." A remark to which the other responded by saying, " Sir, you behaved in a manner last night." This was resented by the captain, and the quarrel was about to he renewed, when the seconds inter fered and succeeded in bringing a bout a reconciliation between the parties. Since the occurrence above men tioned, it i, stated that the raptain, who was one of the gen tleman Ion; resident iii this cit y . The in j uri es received by the captain are of so serious a nature t hat the pasty prineipa's in the affair, received a thrashing from a g e atso'laucletrhti; bas b t e l e ia n t k i a ti g s el lif i e: n is not in the I w i • ai lli gs ie c cr o i.t i t i n i u si d tr t tieesf,ulstihr stated, however, that the assault was not committed without great provocation.-- Cork Constitu tional. .
