H. Wakley, 11 be nominated for a member of the medical profession, n 7, the office. Several legal gentlemen have also been named as probable candidates. The Bank of Turin have raised th • eir ra t e of dis count to 6i per cent. Mr. Charloslilt, the publisher, di e d last Satur day at his hqt:.siip in Perabridge-gardens, Bayswater, aged 64, had 'retired from business for some years, About £155,500 in baigold (half Californian and half Australian) was bought by the Bank yesterday. A PERILOUS ASCENT.—On Thursday last Georg e Matthews, a carpenter, in the employ of Mr. F. R. Fisher, builder, of the High-street, Salisbury, performed the ad venturous and perilous feat of ascending to the summit of Salisbury Cathedral spire, for the purpose of ascertaining 'u repairs and painting were necessary to be done. After he had r ached the top he climbed up and got astride the va ne, which he turned round. The courageous fellow sub sequently mounted the iron cross above the vane, and W aving his cap to the spectators stood upon the bar at that ,g i ddy height p er f ec tl y upr i g ht. Th e as c e nt to the top of the spire, it may be mentioned, is accomplished on the I :irside by means of small iron handles securely fixed to thsepire. The h e i g ht o f S a li s b ury sp i re h as been stated in 6oeul accounts to be as much 410 ft. Mr. Fisher, clerk of the works of the Cathedral, says the height of the spire is nearly 399 ft. 10in., being about 34ft. 10in, higher than St. k aeo. \~~ inst. stock stock stock stccK stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock 6.4.0. stock stock stock stock stock stock stock 25 stock stock stock 10 19.16 4 10 stock stock stock stock stock 10 stock 25 stock stock Stock stock stock 12 10 stock 10 stocic stock stock stock stock Share Railways . ; Paid , Clos . ing Business Price. . rice.

On Wednesday a monster specimen was exposed on the shore by the fisherman, as a warning to such as went down to enjoy their customary dip. A NEW DIVING DRESS.—An , unsuccessful attempt was made in 1859 to substitute scientific machi nery for the simple mode of operation of the native diver. A complete diving-dress and apparatus were brought from San Francisco by a party of Americans, none of whom, however, had much practical experience of such an under taking. It was hoped that the " scientific" adventurer, safe in his metal helmet and garments of gutta-percha, would be able to ransack those unexplored banks which lie at such a depth as to render them unaccessible to the In dian. The first and only attempt that was ever made to realise this idea broke down in the most signal manner. The most courageous of the party, who had volunteered to make the first descent, no sooner reached the bottom than he made frantic signals to be drawn up again. The instant he was restored to the upper world and taken out of his unwieldy case, he declared, with considerable warmth, that he would never again consent to be the victim of the speou r innto a aad t sh i mho v v : radaek ! : n eratrs d o e so n eefhea c iewu i s e nsh s dero o de frsauothgit Schiller h 7 eopri nl a atl ro k al s e hna e dat idfsenflsalouoct penetratent: go- nothing g i th t h i aezeme coulde n ov fellow-citizens. e.

The prosecutor said he was walking through the dark arches in the Adeiphi, when the prisoner came up to him begging for money. He refued to give her anything, when she gave him a violent push, and the next moment he missed his watch from his waistcoat pocket. He accused the prisoner of the robbery, and a policeman coming up she was given into custody. Constable, 380 A, produced the watch, which was found lying at the prisoner's feet when he took her into custody. Prisoner—l'll plead guilty, your Honour. Mr. Corrie—Before I deal with you I must ascertain whether you are known to the police. Constable Fierney, 68 A, said he knew the prisoner. She had been previously convicted of a robbery from the person. Prisoner—You're mistaken this time ; you don't know me. I've never been before convicted. Your worship, I've said I'll plead guilty to stealing the watch, so dispose of the case summarily. Mr. Corrie—No, I cannot do that, as you have been convicted before. Prisoner (crying)—But that aint true. I don't wish to go to the sessions. I am sure I never was convicted before. Mr. Corrie—l shall send you to the sessions, and if you have not been previously convicted you will only get the same punishment I should have given you, supposing I had dealt summarily with the case. Prisoner—l can't believe that. Ann Edwards was charged with stealing a coat. Constable F 111 said he met the prisoner with a coat concealed beneath her cloak, which she had stolen from one of the farmers' carts attending Covent-garden. Mr. Corrie asked if the prisoner was known ? Constable, 119 M, said she had been in prison before, either. for four or six months, but he could not say which. Prisoner—That's not true. I've just arrived from the country. Mr. Corrie—There seems to be some doubt about you, but as you have pleaded guilty, I shall send you to prison for four months with hard labour.

Eastlake has been here for:two days this week en route from Naples to Flo rence. He was possessed, as usual, with a vague idea of fish. ing out some fine chef-d' ceuvre or another from amidst secular heaps of pictorial rubbish for the National Gallery; but he failed, as might have been anticipated, in the difficult research. The payments of the 4th were completed yester day, and it is stated that, although the great mass of bills were well met, there were numerous returns for small amounts, particularly among the wholesale and retail houses. With a little assistance, however, these parties will get through. The business of the day with the bankers and discount brokers was considerable, the transactions representing in the aggregate a very large total, much in excess of what was originally anticipated. One of the prin cipal discount establishments described it as the heaviest day in this respect experienced within the last two years. MARLBOROUGH -STREET. NOVEL FRAUD.—Thomas Powell, a labouring man, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with endeavouring to obtain money from Mr. George Budd, publisher, of 167, New Bond-street, by the following artful means : It appeared that the prisoner went to the house of Mr. Budd, and asked the librarian, Mr. John Philip Webster, for a gratuity, stating that he watered the streets, and was in the habit of calling for a gratuity al different times on the inhabitants. The prisoner was told to call again, and he did so on Wednesday last, when he slid it was the last day of the season, and he wished for the usual gratuity for beer. Ho gave the prisoner some money, but thinking it was not all right, as he saw another man employed the next day, he spoke to the man, and he told him that the pri soner had no right to call, and he was afterwards given into custody. Henry Clark, a labour ing man, of 2, James-street, Lisson• grove, said he was the driver of the cart for St. George's, Hanover• square, and had been employed for many years. The prisoner had no right whatever to call on the inhabitants, as he had beet. doing pretty extensively, and doing him out of his little gratuities. The prisoner said he was in want. Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was a great hardship on the proper man, and he should remand the prisoner for a few days. There is little doubt that the prisoner has made a pretty good thing by his fraud. THAMES. THE HONE§T WAGGONER AND THE BOW-ROAD THlEF.—Robert Bradley, a Spitalfields thief, who has been for some time past loitering about the Bow-road, with a lawless gang of ruffians, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with stealing a cheese, weighing 281b5., and valued at 175., from a cart belonging to George James Harvey and Co., wholesale cheesemongers and buttermen. George Beasley, of No. 14, Roupell-street, Lambeth, said he was a carman in the employ of the Great Western Railway Company. Last evening he was proceeding west ward with his van, containing 3 tons 15 cwt. of goods, and on reaching Bow Church, he saw a cart and horse proceeding eastward. The prisoner followed the cart and took from the tail of it a large cheese, with which he started off at full speed down a side street. He stopped his horses, and said to his companion, "I'll have that fellow." He pursued the pri soner and soon came up with him with the cheese in his possession. To make sure of the prisoner he said to him, " Read this direction for ins, is it right," and put a piece of paper before him. While the prisoner was looking at him he said, "You are the man that stole the cheese," seized him by the collar, and conveyed him to the station-house. Samuel Holland, servant to George James Harvey and Co., identified the cheese which was stolen from his mas ter's cart in the Bow-road. The prisoner pleaded guilty. Mr. Selfe said the witness Beasley had acted most creditably and discreetly, and would make an excellent police-officer. He should award Beasley 53. for his good conduct ; mteneed timtprisonar to be 1011 r. , DARING ROBII;MY AT A LINEN -DRAPER'S SHOP.— Ann Collins, a morose and dissipated-looking girl, aged 18, was bro•sght up on remand before Mr. Selfe, charged with stealing a roll of flannel measuring ten yards, and valued at 205., from the shop of Mr. John Sanders, linen-draper, No. 127, St. George-street, alias liateliff-highway. On Tuesday evening last, shortly before sunset, the pri soner and another female entered the prosecutor's shop, looked at some goods, and then left without making a pur chase. Directly afterwards Mr. Sanders missed a roll of flannel, and immediately left his shop and followed the pri soner and her companion. The girl Collins exclaimed, " Here he comes," threw down the roll of flan nel, and ran away. She was soon overtaken, and she then turned round, put herself in a fighting atti tude, and struck at the linendraper. A struggle ensued, and the prisoner was overpowered and secured. The roll of flannel was recovered. On the first examination, on Wed nesday, the prisoner said she had been staying two or three nights at 3 French-alley, Geswell-street, a very question able locality. She was remanded, and a policeman stated this morning that she was a person of very bad character, and had been in custody before. Mr. Selfe—l suspected as much. Police-constable—She is connected with a gang of shop lifters. Mr. Selfe said the prisoner had committed a most auda cious robbery, and as she had pleaded guilty on the first examination, he should now dispose of the case by sentencing the prisoner to four months' imprisonment with hard labour.

A letter from Paris says :—Tho Patrie devotes as much of its nautical knowledge and metallur gical and engineering science as can be condensed in three columns to the examination of the iron sides of the Warrior, and its internal arrange ments. On the whole it must be admitted that the observations of our French con temporary are less disfigured than usual with the absurd contradictions, inaccuracies, and ignorance, 'which are its wont. It comes, however to this conclusion—hitherto France has only been able to keep on terms of naval equality with England by combining its naval forces with those of the smaller Powers, but these iron ships, like the Warrior, cost some £500,000 each, an expense which the smaller States will be unable to bear—" France, therefore, finds herself standing alone before her adversary. She must henceforth rely upon no assistance, and at whatever cost it may entail upon her, she must be prepared for all eventualities. This is a national necessity, before which no Deputy will recoil, not one citizen will haggle. There must be an equality of armament between France and England; and, unless England will resign herself to this agreement, the two millions which Lord Palmerston has just extorted from her will be but an infinitesimal fraction of what she will be called upon to spend." Now, then, pet:fide Albion. France tells Britan nia that if she wishes to retain her rule over the waves she must pay dearly for her whistle. France here announces her intention to continue her game of " beggar my neighbour," which Punch lately represented her Emperor as playing with Lord Palmerston. It is a game at which he who can hold out the longest invariably wins, and France has yet to show that her resources are equal to ours. This is evidently a sore subject with France and her journals. She cannot refer to it patiently. It is the red flag which exasperates the bull. The Patrie flies at the Warrior; the Constitutionnel, to-day, at the Portland Breakwater, and at the limes for its congratulations to the country on this additional rampart against the perpetual menace of its powerful neighbour. Such gratulations aro, according to the Patrie, as futile as the millions which England has thrown into the sea to complete her breakwater. The Constitutionnel does not favour us with its opinion respecting the many more millions which France has thrown into the sea at Cherbourg for the same purpose. Should it entertain the same opinion of that expenditure it would be imprudent to express it ; so the Constitu tionnel contents itself with this display of its ser pentine frolic of " biting against a filo." "Give a toy to a child and he will occupy himself more in showing it to be admired than in using it. If it con tains some surprise —such as a Jack in the box, which jumps up on touching a spring, and if the child imagines that he has frightened you by showing it, his joy knows no bounds, That old baby, the Times, has given an ex ample of this, by calling on the universe to admire the breakwater and fortifications of Portland. The roadstead of Portland is very near to Cherbourg, the distance being only 117 kilometres (about 73 miles). No doubt this vicinity inspired England with the idea of closing the roadstead by a breakwater, and of surrounding it with de fences. It is a sort of pendant to our maritime arsenal— an imitation of the breakwater and fortifications of our port. The English have taken from us the screw for ves sels, rifled carbines, rifled cannon, and iron-plated frigates; and they have resolved to complete the list of their bor rowings by taking the model of a port. In all this, there is for us nothing new, nothing surprising, and in partienlar nothing alarming, and we cannot understand why the Times should express so much joy. That journal had no need of Portland to be reassured, if, indeed, it should think fit to show itself reassured. "We will not carry further this monotonous enumera tion of cannon, fortresses, and breakwaters. What we said is sufficient to prove that Portland is, so to speak, only an article of luxury, and that before the termination of that port, Great Britain was surrounded by ramparts sufficiently strong to defy any attack and to give confidence to the most timid. But the Times is like the woman of the Bible who will not be comforted. The access of joy which it had on learning the completion of this new port of refuge will, no doubt, be followed by articles on the volunteers, on iron-plated frigates, the Armstrong gun, fortresses covered with iron, Enfield rifles, and the rest. All this constitutes a mania which falls within the domain of caricature. In the meantime, it has already cost England something like a milliard. (Llo,poo 000 _ sterling), and in the midst of the American crisis and of iiiiiiltYcipateid defied in the supply of cotton, the price is rather high for a whim." THIS DAY'S MARKETS. COVENT GARDEN.

The Dresden Journal states that after the coro nation of the King of Prussia direct negotiations will commence with the object of establishing more intimate relations with Austria, and with this pm.- pone a member of the Royal family, perhaps the King himself, will visit Vienna towards the end of the autumn. The Cologne Gazette says that the Prussian people will view every step of this kind with the greatest aversion :—" We know only too well (says that journal) that Austria, after having exhausted her own energies in vain attempts to maintain her fatal domination beyond the Alps, la bours unceasingly to threw her ruinous burden on the shoulders of Prussia. What we learn of Count Bernstorff, our Minister of Foreign Affairs, seems to indicate that that diplomatist, whose views are not very broad, is disposed to associate Prussia with Austrian bankruptcy. The Prussian Diet however has protested solemnly in its address to the King against any sacrifice on the part of Prussia for the sake of Venetia. This protest of our Chambers is a weight which, in a constitutional country, presses enormously in the balance." The Bonn G azette, on the same subject, says : " Austria, in return for the Prussian guarantee, offers a share in the command of the Federal army, the right of garrison at Mayence, and other things of similar insignificance which must come to Prussia without the obligation of a guarantee. All that we know proves that Venetia should be considered a lost post, which Austria will do well to renounce as soon as possible. Austrians who reflect are agreed on this point." We find the following in the Journal de Franc fort :—" We cannot attach any importance to the speculations of the hebats as to the alliances which the Cabinet of Berlin may think right to contract for its own interests and those of Ger many. The arguments deduced from the Macdonald affair to prove the imperative and exacting charac• ter of England in an alliance are as weak as the reasons given to demonstrate the advantages of a more intimate understanding with France. The policy of a great nation like Prussia is not guided by such futile considerations. Neither do we accept the allegations of the correspondent of that journal relative to the recognition of the kingdom of Italy by Prussia, for we think that that act is nearer at hand than is generally believed. Even, however, if it should be delayed, public opinion has too clearly pronounced in favour of such a measure for the Go vernment to refus e it so long as that journal has stated." A communication from Vienna says :—" The complaints daily addressed to the Imperial Govern ment by the German populations in Hungary, Gal licia, Croatia, and Bohemia, and the ill-treatment to which they are exposed from go many different na tionalities forming the immense majority of those countries, show the absolute necessity of taking effective measures without delay; otherwise the German element, which constitutes the principal force of the monarchy, must be degraded and ab sorbed. In this state of things it is not astonishing the eyes of the Government should be again turned towards the Germanic Confederation, and particu larly towards Prussia. It is currently reported that the Cabinet of Vienna has recently declared itself ready to mike important concessions with regard to the presidentship hitherto universally exercised by Austria at the Frankfort Diet, also on the general command of the Federal army and the occupation of the principal fortKess of Mentz by a garrison wholly composed of Prussian and Baden troops. Prussia appears well disposed to accept propositions so eminently favourable to its German policy, and which would have the effect of securing her pre ponderance in the Confederation ; but at Vienna people very naturally ask what compensation the Austrian Cabinet would receive in return for these concessions, as the Prussian Government is com pletely silent on the point, and does not seem at all disposed to make any engagement on the point with Austria. Fresh instructions have been ad dressed to Berlin on the subject, and Prussia seems anxious to gain time to give a more or less explicit and categorical answer. The last reply received at Vienna was to the effect that no decision could be taken till Count de Bernstorff had well entered on txia functivaa as minister or Foreign Affairs." THE QUEEN'S WESTMINSTERS.—The contest for the silver cup, presented to the 13th and 14th companies of this corps by Mr. Richard Heyter Jarvis, took place yester day, at Rainham, in Essex. Ninteen competitors con tested for the prize, and £2 was given for the second best shot The silver cup was won by Sergeant Mason, of the 13th company, scoring 13 points ; and Corporal Starkie of the 13th company, who made 11 points, won the second prize. STOKES BAY RAILWAY.—It appEars that this undertaking, including a railway and pier, is now progress ing satisfactorily, and it is stated by the engineers that the works will certainly be finished by May next. The pier at Anglesea and opposite Ryde Bier is expected to prove a most convenient place for the Isle of Wight steamers, at all times of the tide, to land and embark their passengers, and will, in connexion with the Isle of Wight Railway, accele rate the transit between London and the Undercliff, Isle of Wight, by a saving of three hours. THE EVILS OF CRAMMING.—The examination system has been pushed to such a length that every man of sense is beginning to discern its pernicious absurdity. If it is expected that the young men who offer themselves as candidates for appointments in some branches of the public service shall really have a competent knowledge of the subjects prescribed for examination, difficult it is to comprehend how they can find time for needful sleep and refreshment. As for teaching them to think, which is the highest aim of education, the possibility of thought is pre cluded by such an exorbitant amount of cramming, that the amount of knowledge they do receive remains practi cally useless. Instead of rearing men of intelligence and aptitude, we are doing our best to create a race of prigs and pedants, feeble in mind as in body, and certain to show themselves incapable when any extraordinary emer gency shall arise.—Blackwood's Magazine, SLATE AND CLAY.—Slate of all kinds is, how ever, nothing more than clay that has undergone enormous squeezing. The slate is hardly more pure or free from mixture with foreign substances than the clay ; but in some way cr other it has become so completely altered as to as sume a curious kind of half-crystalline appearance and condition which no other known substance presents. To satisfy ourselves that slate is nothing more than clay, we have only to observe the surface of the ground in slate dis tricts. In those parts of the country where slates abound, the roads, and even paths, are generally thick clay ; for the constant treading of feet and grinding of wheels on the slate reduce it first to a fine powder, and this mixed with rain produces common clay. But, on the other hand, it is equally certain that slate is a very peculiar condition of clay ; for without being actually ground up with water no amount of mere exposure to weather on the flat surface seems to have much effect upon it. In its most remarkable characteristic, also, it is singularly unlike clay, for it splits with extreme readiness into thin films when struck in one direction, although it always breaks with jagged edges in every other direction. It is not necessary to direct atten tion here to the nature of this peculiarity, as it is so uni versally known ; but although probably only the result of enormous squeezing, the change certainly involves a con siderable alteration in the arrangement of the particles. By very simple and familiar means we can reduce slate to clay ; we cannot, on the other hand, make slate out of clay by any forces that have yet been brought to bear upon it. —St. James's Magazine. , Between this and a dinner at the Ship what , room for the imaginative palate to wander I—what variety of meals I Some incapable of classification under any title in use between breakfast and supper, others scientifically distinctive.

More knowledge is now necessary to cause a man to be considered a painter than our fathers dreamed of be fore the Art-treasures of the Continent ware open to our study. In America, a man rises to fame and fortune pre sently if he can give on canvas a lively representation of the woods or prairies which surround him, or the daily life which passes before his eyes ; and not only does he think and say that Europe can teach him nothing, but his patrons are too apt to be of the same opinion. So were many people in England when Dr. Walcot (Peter Pindar) brought Opie up from a Cornish cottage, and exhibited him in London as a heaven-born genius. Opie had the sense to perceive, in course of time, the importance of study ; but the want of it kept him below his capacity as a painter, and spoiled him in a way which could scarcely happen again.—.

A meeting was ' held yesterday of persons who had been employed in furthering the election of Sir Henry Muggeridge to the office of Lord Mayer, which was pretty numerously attended. The object of the meeting was to consider what steps should be taken to enforce th e payment of the i r c l a i ms f or the services they h a d rendered in the election, as i t at et ; ande office was said that Si r H enry had repudiated their ser v. ices, and refused t o a l low their claims. The meet tlechoafirMwra. s Jo ta h k n en St b a y ff, A 2 l 4 r. , B m a g si w ng a h s d tre th John Augustus O'Neill. Mr. ACLAND, who had acted as agent of the alderman, and who had called the meeting, ad dressed them, and stated the circumstances under which he had brought them together. He had acted as the agent of Sir Henry Muggeri dge through the election, and Sir Henry was not the first alderman whose agent he had been. B ut this was the first occasion in which he had found a client ready to avail himself of the ser v i ces of others, and then, when the election was lost, repo. diating his obligations. He (Mr. Acland) had rot forced himself upon Sir Henry Muggeridg , 's co mittee ; they had sought him and solicited his agency. The chairman had recognised him day by day, had supplied him with poll sheets, and in every possible way had availed himself of his ser vices. It was not till Sir Henry was 800 votes in arrear, and after a large personal expenditure by him as his agent, that h e (Sir Henry) questioned the position he occupied. That he was the agent of Sir Henry Muggeridge he was prepared to prove in any court of law. He admitted that he was re sponsible to each person who had been employed for payment, and they could sue him if they liked ; but he would plead " agency without funds ;" or if they chose to sue the legally responsible debtor, Sir H. Muggeridge, they might call him (Mr. Acland) as a witness, and by him prove, first the agency, and next the justice of the individual claim. For his own part, he had instructed his solicitor to write to the alderman that if his personal claim for retainer and payment were not paid by Saturday next a writ would be issued and a notice in bankruptcy served. It was then agreed that instructions should be issued to Mr. Pook, solicitor, 27, Basirghall-street, to sue Sir Henry Muggeridge on behalf of the par ties present, after which the meeting closed. It was said that no fewer than 76 summonses would be forthwith issued in the Sheriffs' Court. PUBLICHOUSE LICENSING SYSTEM. The following is a copy of the memorial to the Government from the National Association of the Beer and Wine Retailers, which has been adopted at a conference of the trade, held at Birmingham, on the Ist, 2d, and 3d October, 1861 :-- " Your memorialists feel deeply interested in the present laws affecting the sale of ale, beer, wines, and spirits ; and believing that gross irregularities and injustice prevail to a serious extent, not only in the financial arrangement but in the administra tration of the laws by which your memorialists are governed, your memorialists deem it expedient that there should be a speedy and effectual reform of all abuses now existing in this department of Government. By reports presented to Parliament by the Lords' Committee in 1817 and 1833, by sub sequent reports in 1849 and 1850, and also by other reports presented to the House of Commons in 1853 and 1854, it is shown that evidence has been taken from every description of persons, with a view to arrive at the real nature of public houses, and their effects on the morals of society in general. By those reports it is clearly manifest that there exists a most anxious desire for a chani,.:e in the licensing system, with an equality and uni formity amongst all parties engaged in the sale of ale, beer, wines, and spirits. Your memorialists consider all houses for the sale of ale, beer, wines, and spirits, should be exposed to free competition in trade, imposing only those restrictions which may deemed expedient for the purpose of police regu lation. Impressed with this view they conceive it desirable to limit the question of granting licenses to two questions only, viz., that of character, and eligibility of premises. Your memorialists believe that an equalisation of the licensing system will greatly tend to augment the revenue, and by the admission of other persons to the right of selling wines and spirits, the morals of the people would be greatly 'qraproved and their social condition ultimately advanced. Your memorialists do not presume to make any further suggestions of their own fur the improvement of the licensing system ; but in conclusion beg most urgently to request that you will be pleased to cause to be introduced into Parliament a bill based on the proposed alterations, which Tour memorialists pledge themselves to sup port." DR,EADFUL OCCURRENCE. Mimic'', OCT. 4.—This town and the adjoining village of Dovercourt has for the past two days been the scene of unusual excitement in consequence of a dreadful accident, resulting in the suffocation of four persons (two women, one man, and a child) and the narrow escape of a fifth person. Within a short distance of the village of Dovercourt aro ex tensive cement works carried on by Mr. J. Pattrick, a cement manufacturer of Harwich, and immedi ately contiguous to the works are some cottages, occupied by the families of men in Mr. Pattrick's employ. These buildings are so situated that they become completely impregnated with the fumes of sulphur from the works, and it is stated that per sons had previously been compelled to . leave them in consequence of their habitations being dangerous to human life, and in one instance that a person removed in a state of insensibility. Nevertheless they have continued to be occupied, and the result now is the loss of four human lives. It appears that the five inmates of one of the dwellings in question retired into their house after the ordinary hours of labour had expired on Wednesday evening, but one of the men shortly afterwards left home and proceeded to Harwich. On his return, about 11 o'clock, he entered the house, and was startled to find his comrades and their families insensible in various parts of the dwelling, which was so filled with fumes of sulphur from the kiln in the rear that he was almost suffocated. He vainly endea voured to arouse them, and was proceeding to obtain the assistance of a neighbour when he fell near the door, where he was subsequently found more dead than alive, and unable to render any further account of this shocking transaction. When the place was entered the wife and child of this unfortunate man were found quite dead, and an other man and his wife were discovered lifeless on the floor. The bodies presented a most shocking spectacle, the features being dreadfully distorted, and they all bore evidence of the poisonous nature of the air to which they had fallen victims.. The rumour of the occurrence quickly spread,. and large numbers of persons from Harwich proceeded to the spot, and but one feeling ot astonishment was expr esse d th a t an y h uman being should ever occupy such a wretched hovel, and that human life had not been previously sacri ficed. An inquest was held yesterday afternoon before Mr. W. Codd, one of the coroners for Essex, when a verdict of "Accidental death" was returned, accompanied by a request to. Mr. Pattrick that three of the dwellings should immediately be pulled down, with which he will doubtless comply. No calamity has occurred in this district for many years which has occasioned so painful a sensation, or that has given rise to such unpleasant obser vations. ASSYRIAN BRONZE.—From the buried palace of the kings of Assyria Mr. Layard sent to England some good examples of art-manufactures in metal. With these we have at present no concern, except for an important piece of information which one specimen conveyed to us. This specimen was a casting in bronze of the fore leg and the foot of a young fawn, very delicately modelled. It evidently at one time formed a support to a table or lamp, or it may have been to some household god. This example of Assyrian metal-work was so slender, and yet so strong, that it was thought there must be some peculiarity in the composition of the bronze, to enable it to support, without bending, the weight which probably rested upon it. A fragment was analysed, and found to consist .of cDpper 88.67 grains, and of tin 11.33—about the usual corn position of the ancient bronzes. In cutting off the fragments for analysis, a curious discovery was made : a rod of iron passed through the leg, as a core, around which the bronze had been cast. This proves not only that iron was known, but that it was commonly employed where strength was required, wh en th e li ne o f B e l us t yrann i se d over all t land, from the mountains of Judah to those of Caucasus. -- Popular Science Review.
