The Court of Assizes of the Seine (says Galignani of Saturday) tried Henry Shaw, aged 26, a native of Newcastle (England), lately a valet in the ser sego of the Duke of Brunswick, for having, on the Bth. December last, stolen from his master's resi dence diamonds and other precious stones to the value of 2,900,000 f., besides a considerable sum in gold. The court Was crowded with persons anxious to see the diamonds.and-their owner, but they were dissppointedaur dzke was unable to attend on account of 'indisposition; and the diamonds have long since been restored to his keeping. It appeared from the evidence that the duke, who had been choosing diamonds to give them to his jeweller for mounting, happened on the Bth DEC., to leave the inner door of his iron safe unlocked, and merely closed the ontendeor. This fact, by some,meanS or other, became known to the prisoner, who was temporarily acting in the confidential situation of valet, though originally engaged as a footman from 'a registry-office, having just before been in service at an 'hotel, with 3f, per day wages. The duke went out about eight in the evening, after ordering the prisoner to sit up for him. Instead of doing so, the prisoner went out and purchased a number of locks, ono of the keys of which he filed down to fit the lock of the safe, ' secured his booty, and made oft. On his return, the duke veva surprised to find that Shaw had left the house, after requesting another servant to wait for his master. Suspecting something wrong, the duke went to the safe and found that the outer door had been opened, and pert of his jewels and cash stolen. He at once gave notice to the police, and the prisoner was arrested at Boulogne when on the point of embarking for England, with most of the diamonds and the greater part of the money sti'l in Lis possession. The missing cash the prisoner had spent at a house of ill-fame, and had given 1,400 fr. to one young woman. When interrogated by the Court, the prisoner refused to defend himself, and was exceedingly free and ersy in his replies. The president having said—" Shaw, give us some ex planations; the jury do not know why you are here." The prisoner replied, " Then let them ac quit me." There is good reason to believe that the prisoner committed a serious robbery at Warsaw some time ago, but it was impossible to extract any information from him respecting his antecedents. He positively refused to state the name of the woman to whom he had given the 1,400 f., but at lest said that he would do so if the president would ple3ga his word of honour that she should not be molested, In answer to a remark on his extreme generosity towards her, he said, " Oh ! a man does not get hold of millions every day ?" M. Wielowglowski, the Duke of Brunswick's aide de-camp, deposed that, though diamonds to the value of 2,900,009 fr. had been recovered, others to the value of more than 130,000 fr. were still mis sing: The prisoner, on being asked what he had done with them, said that he supposed he had lost them in the house where he passed the night after the robbery, es he had them loose in his pocket, and had dropped a quantity in the bed-room there, and left them, thinking he had enough and to spare. M. Lachaud was the prisoner's counsel, but his client would not allow him to plead. The jury at once found the prisoner guilty, and the Court sen tenced him to 20 years' hard labour. SIR WILLIAM ATHERTON has not long survived retirement from the office which ill-health com pelled him to resign. In his tedious and wasting malady we now see the cause of that inability to perform the labo rious duties of an Attorney-General, which was erroneously imputed to mental incapacity. We are bound to make this acknowledgment to his memory, because we shared and ex pressed the doubts that were current at the moment as to the true cause of his retirement. The melancholy issue has proved painfully that the assigned cause was the actual one. A few months ago we were enabled to report an improve ment in his health that induced considerable hope of his restoration to the profession. But those hopes were speedily doomed to disappointment, and his malady still maintained its character or being incurable.—The Law limes of 'Saturday. THE ASSYRIAN SCULPTURES UNDER GLASS ! A portion of the sculptured representations of lion-hunts, taken from the palace of Konyunjik, in the Assyrian base ment room of the British Museum, has been covered with plate glass. It would be well to extend this necessary protection against injury by the fingers of thoughtless per sons to the whole of the bas-reliefs. A SKETCH FROM DENMARK.—The lower order of Danes will bear comparison with that of any other country for strength of body and brightness of mind. A Somersetahire peasant would not generally have much chance of success in a village, such as we have all over Den mark, where every one can read and write, and owns a house and plot of land. It is Mr. Cobden's Paradise rea lised. Some of the peasant girls are very pretty, with pale yellow hair, and rather long noses. We noticed several faces not at all unlike the Princess of Wales. The country girls set themselves off with silk hoods and bright gowns, without much regard to colour. I have seen a yellow dress worn with a magenta Garibaldi. this last is the most favourite colour of all. But the costume of the fish-women is far more interesting than these modern mixtures, being the genuine old Friesland costume.—Once a Week. THE FALL OF KENT.—It is true that some of the glory of Kent as a cricketing county hes of late departed. Time was when Kent could meet any county of England, or all England combined, upon equal terms. The principal match of last season at Canterbury was between eleven of England and thirteen of Kent. It was one of the most interesting and best contested matches of the season. The second innings of England finished at five o'clock in the afternoon of the second day. Kent only wanted 91 runs to win, and they had made 191 in their first innings. If they could by cautions play have saved their wickets until next day, and got to work freshly in the morning, it would have been no difficult task to put together 91 guns. But the tide of fortune turned, and ran against them strongly. When time was called that evening, they had lost 7 wickets for 20 runs, and next day the remaining wickets were disposed of by half-past 12 o'clock, leaving England winners by 25 runs. A match at Lord's earlier in the season, upon the same terms, had ended even more disastrously for Kent, as England won on that occasion in a single innings. Two matches between the counties of Kent and Surrey also resulted in defeats of Kent. In the first match, played at Tunbridge Wells, Surrey gained an easy victory in one innings, with 41 runs over. At Kennington-oval, a month later, it looked on the third day as if Kent would win. They put Surrey in for 192 to win, and with good luck they might hope to get all, or nearly all , the Surrey wickets before thi s l ong score was made. But the men of Surrey, who had played we ll throughout, playe d overpoweringly well now. Mort lock lost his wicket for 20 runs, and then Stephenson and Jupp finished the match between them.

THE CENTRAL LQNDON RIFLE RANGERS_ .Cho annual general meeting of the members of this corps was held on Saturday evening at the New Drill Shed, Gray's-inn—Major the Hon. Haliburton Campbell in the chair. There was a large eaten. dance of the members and the ,officers of, the cprps, smOng -4 girtititla were Captains Woods, Isaacs, Walters, Lowe, Copes, &c. The report, which was adopted, states that in consequence of the Government grant the com mittee have recommended that the Lieutenant- Colonel should, after the Ist inst., abolish any furtber subscriptions from members to the general' fund, officers excepted. After alluding to the fact of the erection of a drill shed at a cost o f £l,lOO, the report observed that one of the filet results of the increased accommodation has been the formation of a gymnasium,in which instuuction will be given on the system in process of adoption in the army. The cost of the apparatus will b 3 defrayed by the officers of the regiment. The re port alluded to the satisfactory state of the regi ment. The report then alludes to the satisfactory musters of the corps on public occasions during the past year, the annual ball, the annual dramatic performance; and the bazaar and volunteer exhi bition held at Willis's Room, which has in creased the funds. Mach interest continues to be manifested in the corps by the inhabi tants of the neighbourhcod, cs has been fully evinced during the past year, when they subscribed for and presented to the corns p a series of battalion prizes. The c o mmitt ee , it up pears, have expressed a hope that they will be able to give a similar series of prizes annually, and one gentleman has already promised £25 a year towards the project. The financial statement of the corps shows that the balance-sheet of the general fund is £1,124, and the estimated assets and liabilities £446 Os. id., the balance-sheet of the band fund 1284 4s. 7d., and the assets and liabilities £lOB 18s. ld. At the conclusion of the election of the committee and auditors, &c., Major CAMPBELL made a few observations with respect to the corps, which, he said, with th© exccp. tion of numbers, was in a very satisfactory state, not only in position but in efficiency. Votes of thanks were then proposed and passed to the retiring auditors and committee, the honorary treasurers of the general and band fund, and the hon. secretary, and the proceedings wero brought to a close.

NATION AL HOSPITALITIES.—." In France," says Mr. Sala, in his last letter to the Daily 7elegraph, "you get little but sugar and water out of your friends, in Germany nothing but smoke, and in Italy there are somo grand houses where you can only obtain supper by for it. In Spain you can procure nothing to eat, because, beyond eggs and chocolate, and garlic, there is nothing to eat. But in the United States you may ruin your digestive organs for nothing in a fortnight. If the oyster and the canvas-back ducks don't give you dyspepsia, the eternal ice creams and candied sweetmeats will ; and, when you tall sick, you will fled plenty of kind friends to press Hoch stetter's and Drake's Plantation Bitters as curatives on your acceptance." HONOURS AT CAMBRIDGE.—It appears that 104 gentlemen took honours at Cambridge this year, of whom 43 were wranglers. In 1863 the number was 100, and there were 33 wranglers; in 1562 the number' was 35, and there were 32 wranglers; in 1861 the number was 93, and there were 34 wranglers ; and in 1860 the number was 121, and there were 33 wranglers. On the restrictions as to the Classical Tripos being removed in 1361, the mathe metical honour list perceptibly diminished in numbers. Trinity College this year, in addition to the senior. second, and fourth wranglers, claims 13 other wranglers ; seven representatives of this great college are among the first 12 wranglers. The senior wrangler is Mr. J. H. Purkise, of Trinity College, and formerly of the City of London School and the University of London. Mr. Purkiss obtained a foundation sizarship at Trinity a few months after coming into residence, and his university career has been through. out a brilliant success. _ covered by Professor Respighi at.Bo.logna,o. n the 28th of December, the same day on which it passed its peri helion, will, it has now been calculated, have its . nearest THE APPROACHING COMET, approach to the earth about the Ist of February, being then esc a r n ib d ed obs i e t r a y s ed be b in y g P , o , n e s xt a r t em M e a ly rs f u e i in lles t, at about one-fifth of the nun's distance ft om us, or eighteen millions of miles.

Professor Littrow, the Director of the Observatory at Vienna, thinks that it may a l so be identical with a comet observed in China in the year 1490. To its approaching greatproximity to the earth we owe the fact that it will probably soon become visible to the naked eye. Nyvellaircsh. was Po ns discoveredth d EXPLOSION AT CAMBERWELL.—On Saturday evening a fatal explosion took place at the shop of an oilman and tallow -chandler named Tripp, carrying on business in Ravill-street, Southampton-street, Camberwell. One of his daughters, named Anne, 30 years of age, Nv v , s mixing with a knife a chemical composition, supposed to bo phosphorus and detonating powder, although her sister had spoken to her several times and pointed out the danger of using steel in mixing the composition. Suddenly a tremen dous explosion took place. Two men named Truman and Lambert rushed into the place, followed by Mr. Ilaydan, dairyman, of Havill-street. Miss Tripp was found with a knife in her band, which had been partially blown away. She was much injured, and blood was streaming from her head and face. Her dress was in flames.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held at Cockermouth on Friday—Mr. J. STEEL, M.P., in the chair. _ _ The report stated that the working expenses, although from some special causes greater than usual, had not exceeded 42 per cent. of the receipts, and the balance against restoration account had been reduced to £3,022. The directors recom mended a dividend of 10s. per share. The opening of the Keswick Railway (expected to take place in June next), by making the Cockermouth and Work ington line part of a now route eastward and south ward, would render it desirable to adapt their working arrangements so as to conduce to the deve lopment of the anticipated traffic. The engineer and locomotive superintendent reported that the rolling stock was in good working order. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said the prospects of the line seemed to be extremely satisfactory. He believed there had been a large increase of traffic. Mr. MUSGRAVE, in seconding the motion, ex pressed his satisfaction at the prosperous state of the undertaking. The report was adopted, and a dividend of 10s. per share for the past half-year was declared. The meeting was then made special, and ths, directors were authorised to raise additional capital to the amount of £24,000, by the issue of 4,000 shares of £5 each, and a further issue of 800 pre ferential shares of £5 each, bearing a fixed divi dead of 41 per cent, per annum. The proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors. Pius XI, and the Nations. The following is the text of the address, already brirfly announced in our columns by telegram, as having been the 'other day solemnly presented to the Holy Father by 300 Catholics of all nations, at present in Rome:— Holy Father,—As Catholics of all the nations represented in the capital of Christesdom, we have solicited the honour of laying at the feet of your llDlincas the home 7,-e of our deepest veneration and most laith;Ul self-devotion. We have alrcady been witlesses at the beginning of the New Year that your Holiness was greeted by the inhabitants of your city of Rome with moving manifestations of their love. Be it also allowed to ns, your children in the spiritual order of things, to hail with our greetings and our good wishes that Pontifical royalty, made more sacred still by misfor tune, and the necessity of whose existence increases in the very proportion of the criminal machinations which threaten it from abroad. May the year which is opening be better than preceding years. May it bring some consolation to your paternal heart! May it, by the restoration of you- authority, satisfy tha long expectation of justice and eight, which have not on earth a more august impersorification then your Holiness Such is our most ardent deAre, and the prayer which risr from our souls towards that God whose Vicar you ere. Having been witnesses of all the great works of a univer sal character which are being carried out in Rome, we shall go back to our vatious counties to tell to our brethren how just and holy is the duty of exiling in aid of the wants of our common Father cud of our eonamon country. For Rome, such as the piety of ages has made her, Rome is truly our common counts}eeeas.you are our 'common Father. There is no nation, however rebellious or wandering, who is not under obligation to the Holy Roman Church. It is she who keeps entire the depesitof moral tenths without which a'l societies would retina to barbarism. It is from her womb, ever torn yet ever prolific, that cable forth, end still come forth, the Apostles of all nations. We, who come from the most varied climes, from the East or the West, front Europe or America, to meet at the feet of your Holiness, we cannot make a step in Rome with out meeting with footsteps of some great ancestor in our faith. Within that magnificent enclosure, which St. Peter crucifies contemplated and blessed from the top of the Jani culum, everything, from the prison of St. Paul to the trium phal spot of his martyrdom, from the Church of St. Gregory to that of St Clement, from the Missions of St Alexis to those of the Gesu, everything speaks to us of our native lands ; there did the heroic men, who gave baptism to our nations and bore them to civilization, draw their inspiration end fire their souls with the sacred fire; St. Denis of the French, St. Austin of the English, St. Patrick of the Irish, St. Boniface of the Germans, St. Adalbert of the Poles, St. Cyril of the Russians, St. Ausehait us of the Scandinavians. We should quote the Popes also ; for,creators and saviours as they are of Italy, they belong at the same time, by the immensity of their Apostleship, to the whole of mankind ! How then, Holy Father, should not our gratitude mingle with our admiration ? At present, perhaps, more than ever under your memorable Pontificate, the Ete,nal City ap pears as the universal city; everything done in Rome is done for the city and the whole world, Those seminaries for all nations founded or kept up by your solicitude, those houses of hospitality, those colleges, oecumenical as it were, that incomparable institution of Propaganda, where we were present but yesterday at one of the grandest festivals of the great human family; those crypts restored to the light of day and the veneration of the faithful ; those ma jestic basilicas found again underground or restored from their ruins ; these cemeteries of the martyrs honoured with a lei() which recalls that of Damascus and Pascal ; that museum of the Lateran, added to so many other magnificent displays ; those daring and learned re searches in the depths of the catacombs, whence we see come forth, thanks to splendid publications, a new and irrefutable apology for our holy religion; those pious resto rations of an immortal past, which your Holiness carries on with a magnanimous tranquillity through spoliations and persecutions I—in a word, so many works and so many labours, which are the glory of Rome, are Christendom's treasure and form a part of her most precious patrimony. And we may say, in the name of our brethren, that Christen dom shall aeknowledge so many services and benefits. The St. Peter's Pence, resuscitated in days of crisis; by the free charity of the faithful, is, first and foremost, a debt of conscience. Is it not just that all should contribute to what is a profit for ail ? Christendom shall not be went ing to her sacred obligation. She knows that in its more and more generous realisation resides, until the restoration of order, one of-the last gtreenteeeeof the material hide pendenea of the Church. She will try to make her offerings equal your misfortune and her love; and, at the same time, she will continue to send her children around you, in the ranks of that Pontifical army, issued also in full life from the spontaneous impulse of children who see their Father attacked, and from the Royal inspiration of your heart, which in spite of perils from without, would not allow the often• necessary but ever rigorous burden of con scription to weigh on your subjects. This army of volunteers of all countries, so small in numbers, so great from the re collection of Castelfidardo which rests on it, is greater still from its spirit of sacrifice, from its disinterested self-devo tion, from its patient abnegation, from all those qualities which are the noblest form of heroism, and truly worthy of watching with the soldiers of France around the chair of St. Peter and of Pius IL I It is with such feelings, Holy Father, of veneration for your person, of admiration for your courage and virtues, of absolute devotion to your cause, of unshakeable and calm trust in the triumph promised by Providence to your rights, Holiness th i a t s t , paternalprostrate b blessing syi on fe et,se ou ourselves, implore from your lves, our families, our countries. The Pope responded to this address by one of those impressive allocutions of which that august Pontiff knows the secret, and which was tran scribed by some of its hearers with all possible fidelity, as follows ; The words, so full of tenderness, which you have made me hear, my dear sons, and which give to my poor heart new strength to maintain to the end right, justice, and truth—those words are but the echo of what the Church, ' and Religion hav e g i ven to h ear t o th e w orld. They are the echo of that voic e o f j ust i ce an d t ru th which ttleheeAPpoopsetles and their successors have raised in all ages, at all times, and especially in the time in which we live. The Apostle St. Peter, as St. Lawrence has said, by coming to Rome showed a greater and more courageous faith than when he walked on the sea; the greater :tom his en tering into a city which was then but a forest of wild and irritable beasts. B ut little by little, en listening to the voice of the Apost l e o f Jesus Christ, those wild beasts be came good and obedient lambs. D ur i ng the very first hour, St. Peter sent into Umbria St. Briceus, and into Romagna St. Apollinarius. The inhabitants of those countries lived at that time in barbarism and paganism. I know not whether it was in God's designs to give these provinces to the Church as a pa t r i mon y, but I know that the Church possesses them at present, that they are entrusted to the Pope ; and what 1 know particularly is that I shall never consent to abandon my dear sons, by granting you my Apostolic them, or to any shameful compromise. Blessing; that if I desire to wish to say, h owever, keep those provinces, it is not t 3 be a King. Many people leonclud b e u , t I pretend that the Pope wishes to be a King. Ne I I keep them because such is my duty, because it is a necessity in the order of the Church, that she should preserve what Providence has given her. My ambition as a Pope is to be the worthy successor of the Apostles, to maintain in all kingdoms the spirit of faith and love, to teach to nations obedience and to Princes love and respect for right and justice. This is the reason why it is necessary for the Pope to keep his own kingdom ! And what are the kingdoms of the earth? Wretchedness wretchedness I But no one has a right to touch what is mine ; no one. And to the end I will make that voice of justice and truth be heard. Let us listen, then, to:the voice of the Apostles of Jesus Christ, my very dear sons ; and may God bless you all, in society, ever, and make you live in a Christian manner, and as happily as is possible in this vale of tears. Among the signatures to the address are the most illus trious as well as the most humble names of English, Irish, French, Italian, American, Polish, lee., Catholics. - - The --= E XHIBITION CLOCK.— -L entire finish is of the , highest caste," —Daily Aews, May 29, 1862.

Chis well, an eating house keeper, No. 11, Broadway, London-fields, Hackney. For tunately the occupants were enabled to effect their escape from the buildings without receiving any personal injury. Upon the arrival of the firemen they found the whole of Mr. Chiswell's premises enveloped in flames, The mains of the East London Company's works having yielded a bountiful supply of water, the brigade at once took advan tage of the same, but the fire could not be extinguished un til the building and its stock in trade, the furniture, and oth e r ctLets v,-ere totally destroyed. The origin of the fire is unknown,. Mr, Dickens's Remembrance of Mr, Thackeray. I saw him first, nearly twenty-eight years ego ; when he proposed to become the illustrator of my earliest book. I saw him last, shortly before Christ mas, at the Athee team Club, when he told me that he had been in bed three days—that,after these attacks, he was troubled with cold shiverings, " which quite took the power of work out of him"--md that he had it in his mind to try a new remedy which he laughingly described. He was very cheerful, and looked very bright. In the night of that day week, he died. The long interval between those two periods is marked in my remembrance of him by many occa sions when he was supremely humorous, when he was irresistibly extravagant, when he was softened and serious, when he was charming with children. But, by none do I recall him more tenderly than by two or three that start out of the crowd, when he unexpectedly presented himself in my room, an nouncing how that some passage in a certain book had made him cry yesterday, and how that he had come to dinner, " because he couldn't help it," , and must talk some passage over. No cne can eve,'" h i ave seen him more genial, natural, cordial, fresh, and, honestly imp:sive, than I hare seen him at those times. No one can be surer than 1,70 f the greatness and the goodness of the heart that then disclosed itself. Wo had our differences of opinion. I thought that he too much feigned a want of earnestness, and that he made a pretence of undervaluing his art, which was not good for the art that he held in trust. But, when he fell upon these topics, it was never very gravely, and I have a lively image of hint in my mind, twisting both,his hands in his hair, and stamping about, laughing, to make an end of the discussion. When we were associated in remembrance of the late Mr. Douglas Jerrold, he delivered a public lec ture in London, in the course of which he read his very best contribution to Punch, des-ribing the grown up cares of a poor family of young children. No one hearing him could have doubted his natural gentleness, or his thoroughly unaffected manly sym pathy with the weak and lowly. He read the paper most pathetically, and with a simplicity of tender ness that certainly moved one of his audience to tears. This was presently after his standing for Oxford, from which place he had despatched his agent to me, with a droll note (to which he after wards added a verbal pestcript) urging me to "come down and make a speech, end tell them who he was, for he doubted whether more than two of the electors had ever heard of him, and he thought then might be as many as six or eight who had heard of me." He introduced the lecture just mentioned, with a reference to his late electioneering failure, which was full of good sense, good spirits, and good humour. He had a particular delight in boys, and an ex cellent way with them. I remember his once asking me with fantastic gravity, when he had been to Eton where my eldest son then was, whether I felt as he did in regard of never seeing a boy with out wanting instantly to give him a sovereign. I thought of this when I lcoked down into his grave after he was laid there, for I looked down into it over the shoulder of a boy to whom he had been kind. These are slight remembrances; but it is to little familiar things suggestive of the voice, look, man ner, never, Lever more to be encountered on this earth, that the mind first turns in a bereavement.

The half yearly meeting of this company was held on Friday at Radley's Hotel, New Bridge-street, Blackfriars,—Mr. S. Bidduiph in the chair. The report stated that the revenue for the half year ending December 31 amounted to £16,910, and the working expenses, including the hire and purchase of waggons, to £9,146, leaving a balance of £7,764, to which was added £36 from the pre ceding half year, making £7,800. Atter payment of £3,351 for interest on debentures and rent of Vale of Towy Railway. £4,449 remained for dividends, out of which it was proposed to pay £1,883 for divi dends at the rate of 5 and 6 per cent. per annum on the A and B preference shares respectively, and £2,462 on the ordinary stock, being at the rate of 11 ss. per cent., making, with £1 per cent. declared in July last, a dividend of 23 per cent. on the ordinary stock for the year 1863, leav ing a balance of £lO4. The income of the company in 1862 was £30,772 as compared with £31,658 in 1863, showing an increase of £BB6. The rent pay able to the Vale of Towy Railway Company had been increased from 2 per cent. to 3 per cent. per annum on the share capital, in accordance with the terms of the lease. The progress of the works on the Swansea and Carmarthen lines had been muoh retarded by unfavourable weather, but now several portions of the Carmarthen line were ready for the permanent way, the laying of which had been com menced. The capital expended on the original line, 281, miles in length, amounted to £358,438; on the Swansea line to £131,023; and on the Carmarthen line to £95,765. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said that, although there had been a falling off in their coal carrying trade of 16,000 tons, there had been an increase in the passenger traffic. Several new lines had been projected, which, if carried out, would probably do them a great deal of good, especially the one from Llandilo to Lampeter. A propoiml had been made by the Llanelly Harbour Comtnissioners for the enlarge ment of the company's dock, estimated to cost £40,000, but the matter was under the consideration of the directors, the opinion at present being that the dock was quite largo enough for the purposes of the company. Resolutions were passed adopting the report, de claring a dividend at the rate of £1 ss. per cent., on the ordinary stock of the company for the past half year; re-electing Mr. Fowler, Mr. Smales, and Mr. Lewis, the retiring directors, and also Mr. W. Morris, the retiring auditor. The meeting was then made special, and the directors were authorised to issue 800 shares of £lO each for the Carmarthen line ; and 11,400 shares of £lO each for the Swansea line. The proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors. LIGHT consists of certain vibrations of the pon derable molecules of matter. On the frequency of these vitrations depends, in the first place, the colour of light; but, next, it has been ascertained also that the range of vibrations perceptible by the eye is limited in extent—red produced by the slowest vibrations, being 460 billions in a second; and violet light, p ic r h od b u iys eed . by the. quickest vibrations, being repre sented billions in a second, Licht,mwhuithci representedwi bsh The National Shakspere Committee. We see no reason, says the Queen, to apprehend that the secession of the members of the National Shakspere,Committee, which was announced with so much pomp and circumstance in the daily papers last week, will seriously compromise the chances of a creditable Tercentenary Celebration taking place in London on the 23d of April nest. Whatever die- satisfaction may be felt (and justly so) by the judi cious, at the jobbery and mismanagement of those whom Mr. Punch has dubbed " the Atheneum clique," there can be no pretence for asserting that the committee is practically dead, or (as our facetious contemporary puts it) even in articulo mortis. The public is usually very slow to adopt any view of a matter which does not immediately concern its material welfare, and is quite as slow to abandon a sentimental notion when it has once fairly adopted it. There will be a celebration in London aad a monument too, the limes, Mr. Punch, Mr. Tom Taylor, and Mr. Frisweli notwithstanding. The gentlemen who seceded (although for the most part excellent gentlemen in their way) were by no means the strength of the movement, and they have left many good men and true behind them. We understand that since their somewhat pretentious retirement, not more than committeemen have followed their example. The secession of Messrs. Martin, Hardy, Shirley Brooks, Brewer, Walker, and Gruneison is to be regretted ; but why Mr. Taylor should deem it necessary to inform the world that he had retired from a movement which he never took any part in, is not easy to understand. The act was on his par; as preposterous as his sudden zeal for the national British Drama ; though what he would understand by dramas " kindred " to Shakspere, except trans lations from Scribe, Angier, and Co., passes us to conceive. However, Mr. Taylor has joined the Stratford celebration as one of its Vice-presidents, and joy go with him. As for Mr. Friswell, it is possible that the National Committee will survive his defection ; but the publisher of his forthcoming book about Shakspere will have to remove from the advertisements the distinguished title of " Member of the National Committee." Both Mr. Punch and Mr. Vizitelly have inti mated that the noble vice-presidents whose names have been put so prominently forward have as yet taken no part in the proceedings of the committee. This is by no means the case. Lord Granville, the Duke of Manchester, the Archbishop of Dablin, and Mr. Cowper have all taken very active parts in the matter, and have attended several meetings. We violate, moreover, no confidence when we state that at a meeting of the principal vice-presidents held this week, it was unanimously determined upon to proceed with the matter; so that the defection which has occurred, and the consequent scandal, if they are to have any effect at all, will probably re sult in infusing a little sorely-needed energy into the proceedings of the committee. Already we are glad to see that the committee is beginning to give signs of its existence in the advertising columns of the newspapers ; the site and monument sub-com mittees are reported to be actively at work, and their report may be expected before the next meet ing of the general body, when, no doubt, there will be something definite to put before the public, and a public meeting will be arranged to be held at the Mansion House. Finally, we under stand that if the worst were to happen, the citi zens of the good old City of London will not allow the matter to drop through for want of support, and that in the last result the event will be properly commemorated at the Guildhall, and an ample sub scription will be forthcoming, sufficient, at least, to provide a creditable monument for the City. The irate gentlemen of the Times and Punch may, there fore, make their minds perfectly easy on the sub ject; roar or jeer as they may, they cannot prevent a metropolitan celebration of Shakspere's tercen tenary birthday. At Stratfor3, all is hopefulness and activity. The " Rev. Mr. Bellew has accepted the post of acting secretary, and is doing wonders in the way of ar rangement. A magnificent temporary pavilion theatre, capable cf containing an audience of 5,000 or 6,000, is being erected, and will cost, from first to last, about £4,000. Here " Hamlet" is to be acted on the birthday, chiefly by the Lyceum com • puny. Mr. Feehter will play the principal part, , and (for the rest of the cast) we hear of Mr. ..,..`. di ceg, ,ilitY O. a eite• 01 the 18rtbs luting 0 sco agt 3ce o• 60 .3013 ; gor of t! l'e 3 r l " . bared 1 il' st l itlif P ree l ' , lieu" 0 0 0 o f Oe to j 9 to, yt 10 IJ °i' if3p 2 03:Lt )/ J ll , o/ ,C,;su 9' 1, Eg er 5 °1) 0 1 00er
