This was the first hospital to introduce the principle of free end instant admission to the destitute sick, without the for mality of governors' letters. It is entirely devoted to desti tution in its most pitiable form—viz., that which is accom pc.nied by sickness and disease, and is now of sufficient magnitude that, with adequate support, it may be rendered capable of admitting into its wards a very large proportion of the casual sick of this great metropolis. It requires but the funds in order to have 500 beds available for the reception of these the most wretched of our fellow-creatures. Moreover, it gratuitously affords medical advice and medicine to more, on the average, than :3,000 out-patients a week. The Weekly Board feel It their imperative duty to make an EARNEST APPEAL to the public for continued support, to enable them to edmit and relieve the distressing cases that daily present themselves.

Considering Powers signing of their Polish possessions (to which the stipulations of 1815 extend) in harmony with the present requirements and the progress of the age. Prince Gortschakoff observes, also, that this mode of action would be in conformity with thee course pursued in 1815. The Imperial Government must state that it differs with the Russian Government upon the majority of these points. In the first place, we believe that it would be, on the contrary, most urgent at once to attempt a work of conci liation so necessary for the general interest. In availing herself of the legal and disinterested concur rence offered by Austria, France, and Great Britain, the Court of Russia secures the most powerful means of success in causing ideas of moderation to prevail in Poland, and thus laying the foundation of a durable peace. The organs of the most extreme parties may reject as in sufficient the programme recommended by the three Powers; but it would be an error to believe that there are in such a case but two parties to be considered—on the one side , the Government occupied in suppressing the insurrection, and on the other the chiefs of the insurgents fomenting disorder and raising the most extravagant pretensions. The steam. storeship Dee, Mas'f,er Commander Raymond, yesterday discharged the remainder of her cargo at Woolwich, under the outer shears at the river wharf, and proceeded to Deptford to ship machinery at Messrs. Penn's wharf for the Western yards. The store transport Rosabund, having shipped 16 12-ponnder guns, carriages, and equipments from Woolwich Arsenal for the Royal Artillery batteries stationed at Quebec and Montreal, yesterday sailed for her destination. The Racoon, screw steam corvette, Capt. Count Gleichen, went out of Portsmouth harbour yesterday morning, and anchored at Spithead. She is now only waiting the arrival of his Royai Highness Prince Alfred, prior to sailing on another cruise. The Osborne paddle wheel steam yacht, Master- Commander G. K. Bower, went out of Portsmouth harbour yesterday to Stokes Bay for a trial of her machinery and her new paddle wheels, under the superintendence of Commander Brett and other officials of the Steam Reserve. The ,trial was considered satisfactory. The Pioneer, screw,'l:Acting-Commander Robin son, will be paid off alongside Portsmouth Dock yard on Saturday. The court-martial on one of the engineers and two of the crew will be held to-day on board the flagship Victory. The undermentioned gentlemen were yesterday nominated to the naval cadetships —Henry M'A. Outfield, Thos. A, Houston Boswall, and Thomas The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :—Lieut. Hugo L. Pearson to the Pelorns; Lieut. Frederick W. Inglefield to the Duke of Wellington; Lieut. Wm. Walsh to the Cornwallis ; John A. Lodge, engineer, to the Fis gard, to the Hydra; John King (a) and W. Hawksley, assist.-engineers, to the Fiegard, for the Hydra; J. H. Duckham, master's assistant, for dis posal ; Chas. Topping, John B. Sams, and Edwin A. L4ng, assist.-clerks, additional, to the Fiegard ; E. W. C. Mackay and A. T. T. Wise, assist.-clerks, to the Royal Adelaide, as supernumeraries ; and Thos. Grey, assist.-clerk, additional, to the Cumberland. Outside these two camps there is a great floating mass that would be content to see the security of persons and property placed under the protection of a just and beneficent Administration. In gaining the confidence of this portion of the population, Russia would make a great stride towards the pacification of the country. Prince Gortschakoff points out, as one of the principal obstacles to all attempts at conciliation, the moral encou ragement which the most insensate aspirations of the in surrection draw from the hope of an active foreign inter vention from without. It is true that events in Poland have excited a lively sympathy in Europe. This sympathy has been mani fested in alm os t every S tate w h ere nat i ona l reFreson tation exists. S uc h man if estat i on, a d ded even t o the material assistance which the insurgents have been able to receive from ne i g hb ouring States notwithstanding the strict surveillance of the G overnment, d o not, how ever, constitute the only o b stacle to the re-establish ment of order in Poland. If the insurrection, as Prince Gortschakoff says, has c oncen t rated all its efforts in the kingdom of Poland, it is because it has found there a favourable ground on which it was easy to call up well founded grievances, and where there existed causes for discontent, the removal of which is precisely what we ad vise. If the Court of Russia had taken more into account the engagements entered into in 1772 and 1816 in favour of the maintenance of religious liberty and of the national in stitutions, the agitation from without would not so easily have provoked these troubles, the frequent recurrence De which disturbs, not without reason, the neighbouring coun tries and the whole of Europe. Neither do we very well comprehend the objections offered by Prince Gortschakoff against the reassembling of a formal conference called to discuss the affairs of Poland. From the moment that the Cabinet of St. Petersburg admits that the other Powers have the right of interpreting the sense of certain stipulations concerning the kingdom of Poland, it implicitly recognises by such admission that these same Powers have a right of examination, leading them to make their opinion heard upon the execution of measures which. arb only the direct consequence of these stipulations. ' We cannot discover in the participation of the eight Powers signing the acts of Vienna, or in deliberations upon the condition of the kingdom of Poland the character of a direct interference in the interior nffairs of Russia, since it is evident that the Treaty of Vienna places his kingdom in a special position, very different from that of the provinces of the Russian Empire. We do not see, then, what, from Prince Gortschakoft's point:of view, renders unacceptable to Russia the assembling of a conference of the eight Powers. We have already pro ksted against the in this interpretation r w es h p i e c c h t the Cabinet of St. Petersburg seemed to give to a passage of our despatch of the 18th June. The Imperial Cabinet then only stated an elementary truth. It is clear, in fact, that the assembling of a conference with the object of negotiating with Russia becomes impos sible, if the party most directly interested, that with whom it is precisely necessary to negotiate, declines to appear. But we did not wish to be understood to indicate by this reserve that we should approve the refusal of Russia to take part in a conference. As regards the proposal of a direct undertaking between Austria, Prussia, and Russia, the Imperial Government could not, as far as it is concerned, regard this combination as admissible. We can only repeat here, on this head,that the concert established between the Cabinets of Vienna, Lennon, and Paris, with the view of facilitating a pacific solution of the Polish question, forms between these three Cabinets a bond from which Austria cannot now disengage herself to negotiate separately with Russia and Prussia. We have besides been obliged to repel the assimilation which this proposal appeared to establish between the terri tories purely and simply incorporated with the Austrian Em pire, and the portion of ancient Poland constituted in 1815 into a State united to the Empire of Russia, but enjoying a. distinct Administration. The Emperor, our august master, has not hesitated to spontaneously endow his Polish possessions w ith institu tions in harmony with present necessities and the progress of the age. t h ie a r d not, Governments,therefore to Feeenreietsrtpeandththise subject ial wi G t e h y th ern e ra fr en on t and the measures which it recommended to Russia were not in contradiction with the example which it has set in its own dominions. in the despatch o f th e 15th (27th) of July, We furt h er hasten to note with sati s f ac ti on th e d ec l ara- M. de Kno rr i ng, i n which Prince Gortscha , k t readi o o ff n p c °t r o o n t r at n e t s bedy against the interpretation which we put upon his proposition. In fact it appears to me that the precedent of 1815 can not be successfully applied to existing circumstances,for the Powers who signed the Acts of Vienna had not at that period the title to intervene in the Polish question which they now claim, and which originates precisely in these very Acts. In thus communicating our views to Prince Gortschakoff there still remains an imperious duty for us to fulfil. It is to call his most serious attention to the gravity of the situa tion and the responsibilities which it throws upon Russia. Austria, France, and Great Britain have pointed out the urgenc y of putting an end to a deplorable state of affairs full of danger to Europe; they have at the same time indicated the means which it appeared to them ought to be employed to arrive at this end, and they have offered their concurrence to attain it more surely. If Russia does not do everything in her power to second the moderate and conciliatory intentions of these three Powers, if she does not follow the path pointed out to her by amicable counsels, she exposes herself to the serious consequences to which a prolongation of the disturbances in Poland may lead. ' I desire you, Count, to read this despatch to Prince Gorts chakoff, and leave with him a copy of the same.—Receive, &c., RECHBERG. A BARONET'S DAUGHTER AND GRANDCHILD IN THE POLICE CELLS.—On Monday the Glasgow police apprehended a woman, named Margaret Lindsay or Cowan, on a charge of uttering base coin. When she was brought to the police office on this charge, two detective officers went to her lodgings in Alison-street, with the view of making further inquiries regarding her. In the course of their investigation they discovered, in the possession of her mother; who occupied the same lodgings, two 'o wn tickets—one for a table-cloth and the other for s heet pl e dged by her, while they were the property of their land lady. The owner, unaware of this trans action until this discovery, at once committed her to the officers Her name is Phillis Fettes, or Lindsay, daughter of th e late Sir Wm. Fettes, Bart., who, it is said, omitted to make a suitable provision for her in his will, when arranging for the endow ment of an hospital at Comely Dank . The trustees on Sir William's estate, however, gave her an allowance from the funds under their control; but it is said that after the de cease of the late Lord Rutherfurd this was discontinued. At length, after enduring several privations, and disposing of all her marketable property, she, in a state of utter desti tution, pledged these articles for a few coppers. She pled guilty to the cha r g e, and w as sentenced to 3 ' ) days' inipri sonmeat.--Zrarti? Brttisit THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 18, 1861 Cardinal Wiseman on Self-Culture. SOUTHAMPTON, Thursday. The great hall of the Hartley Institution was last night densely crowded, Cardinal Wiseman having undertaken to inaugurate the 34th session of the jest Polytechnic o f selself-culture. lon i r b . y an J. R. dsdterbesbsinogn, the t he p r s e ub si dent of the institution, occupied the chair, and in a brief address introduced his Eminence, who was re ceived with great cordiality. Cardinal WISEMAN, when the cheering had sub sided, commenced his address, the deli very of which occupied upwards of two hours, during the whole of which time he was listened to with the greatest attention. He said he had selected the subject of self-culture as one perfectly in unison with the object for which the institution was founded,—to enable those who joined such a noble foundation to ac quire learning for themselves, to form their own minds, and to improve those faculties which they individually possessed. The tendency and aim of his address would bo not to excite ambition or the aim at distinction, not to stimulate extraordinary energies to induce man whom Providence had placed in a huMble sphere of life to make their way from it, and rise higher and higher, perhaps with a fruitless aim constantly held before them. He was not about to show how individuals had risen from even the lowest ranks of society by industry, honesty, and self-reliance to the very highest dig nit:es. That was not his aim, for this reason—there was not one in ten thousand who could possibly succeed in so high a mark ; and for one who did succeed there were hundreds and thousands whose ambition had been over-excited, and whose hearts had been broken in early youth in attempting to arrive at that for which they were never destined, and there were others who had consumed a long age in murmuring impatience and discon tented with themselves and others because they thought they had been dealt with unjustly by society in not having achieved their mistaken ob ject. No; he wished to make everyone feel that it was in his power to make such a position in society as would make him honoured, respected, revered by all around him, and respected by himseif—to show how a man may work through a long life without being raised a step in that social position in which his lot is cast, and yet hold up his head among the noblest and the best, not in supercilious pride, not in overbearing ambition, but in the con sciousness that his heart has also been true to its duties, that bis conduct has been unblemished—so so that he might walk with his head erect, except in those moments when it must be bowed down before that higher and better power which has given him those gifts which he has assiduously cultivated. He felt it due to himself to say —and ho was sure all present would agree with him— that if he excluded from his address those sub limer aims, those nobler motives, those stronger incentives to righteousness and to virtue which ought to influence man in his whole career, it was not because he undervalued them, or that he wished by silence to exclude them. The meeting was a scientific and social meeting, and while he reserved to himself the fulness of his own convictions, and his sense of the propriety of such thoughts being before all men, he was sure he should be excused for making what might be crnsidered a moral and perhaps a worldly discourse. He had spoken of self culture being the object of such institutions as the present. It was, in fact, the essence of all educa tion. Education supposed to be given to a passive and unresisting object by any amount of external pres sure that might be applied to it was a mere folly. A certain amount of information might be poured into the ears and understanding of a man, but he was not thereby educated. ASSISTING NATURE. No one believed that the art of healing consisted in the application of mere external remedies. The art of ° curing recognised the healing in the vital power. It existed in the constitution, in the frame, and the object of medicine was to bring forth those latent curative powers of nature which had to act in a given way. Although outward appliances might assist indi rectly, the main object was to stimulate and assist those latent powers given by nature, and the cure, so to speak, wisely aided and seconded, was in our selves. And so, with respect to the mind, lectures, and converseziones, and libraries and museums were all ends to education. But the true, the real edu cation was that which was performed within, and which none but the individual himself could perform for himself. Self-culture might be divided into three distinct ranges te o l r le s c p t h u e a r l es Powers ; secondly, to the and had to be applied— first,power of acquisition—the power of aggregating what is without to our own minds ; and thirdly, to the cultivation of the moral powers. These three powers were distinct. The first—cultivation of the intellectual powers—had little or no aid from with out. That was a work from within. Each man must cultivate his own intellect, his power of judg ment, his power of acting through the operation on the operations of his own mind. The second—the power of acquisition—was of a mixed character. It was the power of bringing into our minds and under the judgment of the intellect that which was pre pared by others, and which we did rot ourselves make, and which was not within us. It was mixed; there was the double operation, the acting upon ma terials which we had not naturally within our reach through the means of the faculties within us. The third power, again, was of a mixed character—that moral portion of our being which, while it has to be culti%ated also within, yet has its action without, because from that comp forth duties and obligations which reach those that are without our selves ; so that one is purely inward, the second is partly exterior through its objects ; the third is partly exterior through its aims. Beginning with the intellectual powers, they were subject to a triple subdivision. THOT;GHT-TMAGINATION - MEMORY. 'I here was, first, the power of thought, and what immediately depended upon it ; and then came the imagination and the memory. Upon the two latter points his remarks would be very short, because the principles which he was about to lay down were embodied in the first point, on which he wished fully to open his mind. He did not intend to go into any metaphysical definitions or explanations of the power of thought, believing that he could make his meaning more clear by comparison and by illustra tion. He would take the sense of sight as the one parallel to thought in the mind, and trace its opera tion. A BEAIiTIFUL COMPARISON. The eye was tie;ersatiated,never satisfied with seeing. Whatever the multiplicity of objects, they held no place, but were continually changing If we walked into the country alone by a pleasant' path there was not an instant in which we did not see something—the trees, the cottages, the distant mountains—as we moved th e h ea d and i ncl i ne d i t i n a different angle, as we moved the pupil of the eye, every possible change took place in our bodily relation to the outward objects presented to the vision, and yet all these objects were connected, and there was not a moment without some picture being presented to the eye. Exactly so with thought. We were never a moment without think ing. Even while reading a book there was a train of thought passing through the mind over which it ex ercised no control. One thought succeeded another, more linked, more united by the power of association than the objects th a t metthe eye. That corresponded exactly to the action of the eye. It would be exceed. ingly difficult to render an account of the thoughts passing through the mind during the day. But there was another power—the power of arresting thought, and there commenced the self-, necessary for self-culture. A - whole day never dish- .—anmand jest with _ ...an' might pass a ciistingui s hi ng acy ob • eye; but by exercising a ca tain degree of mental power he might stop and examine some object and fix it upon his memory. With re spect to the eye, that would be observation; to the mind,• it would be reflection. When thoughts were passing through a man's mind, be might consider some one of them rather singular and reflect upon it, and thus arrest the current of thought, and fix upon something distant which would occupy his mind in future years, and lead to something useful and practical. That was the second step. But there was a third, and a higher, and more important one. A man might not be satisfied with a passing view of an object, but desire to know something more about it. OBSERVATION AND CONTEMPLATION. For instance, in looking for the first time at the ruins rt Netley Abbey he saw all that could be seen in passing by. That was observation. It occurred to his mind that if ever he passed that way again he would make an examination into its architecture, and try to make out its history, having previously gathered such information as he might be able to do from books treating on the subject. That would be a very dif ferent degree of observation from either of the first, and might be called contemplation. Thst would be seeing in the highest sense. Exactly the same thing took place with regard to the mind. A man might say, "I wish to cultivate my powers of thought. I am not satisfied with dwelling for a few minutes on a thought which invites my attention; here is a great question on which a thoughtful and earnest man cannot remain satisfied in ignorance and I will study it." For this purpose he would collect the necessary materials and exercise the varied powers of his mind and memory and reasoning, until he came to a solemn and well-matured decision how he ought to think and act. That was the course of thought, the operation of the mind corresponding exactly with the third operation of the sense of sight, and this analogy brought forward all the pro. ceases of which thought was capable. The first and simplest power of thought meant little or no self cultnre, except by the application of those degrees of it which followed. DAY-DREAI I IING. There was nothing more dangerous than the habit which the indulgence in the first pro cess of thought, unchecked and unguided, might produce. A person left to the mere suc cession of day-dreams, thought succeeding thought, with curious connexion, but without men tal analysis, would lose hours and hours of his time in mere vain, vague, roving ideas, which instead of fructifying in his heart would rot there and corrupt it. An illustration of this unchecked progress of thought might be found in the story of the merchant of Bagdad, whose dreams ended in the destruction of his precious porcelain. There were men who, not gaining the power of constraining their thoughts and arresting them at the proper time, had b een l e d into ot heday-drea w m ha o t f they e ought verythi.6g excepting their duty, neglecting to have done, and consequently coming to misery and ruin. The first lesson, therefore, to be learnt in mental culture was to gain the power over the ordinary course of thought by applying what he had termed reflection—the arresting and checking out of the procession of thoughts those not worthy to be dwelt upon, and checking them immediately. THE GERM OF MONOMANIA. He wished especially to impress on those who cared for the cultivation of their own minds the necessity of making use of this pro cess, which might be described as the second pro cess of thought. It was necessary at once to check anything that was luxuriant, that did not tend to produce fruit, that tended as it almost always did to some amount of eccentricity. The moment a fa vourite thought began to haunt the mind, when it returned again and again with new vigour, and the mind took a pleasure in dwelling upon it, it shou d be checked without a moment's hesitation and cut away ; and a man having acquired a control over his thoughts, over his mind, would at once deter mine that the idea should not dwell in his mind. Otherwise it might be the beginning of a thousand roonomanias. Indulgence in such ideas was the way in which they became fixed in the mind. They returned again and again. He was not speaking of moral Consequences, but of intel lectual consequences. There was not a more serious impediment to self-culture than that of allowing a dominant thought to assume a propor tion to the rest of the faculties which was not in proportion with its own value. Of this there was no question, and he might lay it down as a certai❑ intellectual result, and say never allow what might be considered a favourite idea, or fancy, or imagin ing, to dwell for any length of time in the mind. THE SEED OF INSANITY. It had been said, and he believed with truth, that there was hardly a mind so strong as not to hate within it the possible seed of insanity, and that seed might be found in this form—a single idea, without any reason to account for its taking possession of the mind, might go on developing until it became a sort of morbid feeling, resulting in the manner which he had indicated. There was a third and greater applicatio❑ of the mental power. It con sisted in not merely being able to arrest thought, to dwell upon it, but in being able to study the principles and eat nest thoughts whi c h were within the mind—being able to have the power of directing all the energies of the mind to their so'.ution and explanation, and so to treasure up within ourselves the principle drawn from sound and solid reflection. sPEAK ONLY 'WHAT YOU THINK AND BELIEVE. He would not go - 2.nto detail, but the ap plication was this. There was nothing more common than for per sons to lik e t o di spute _ to discuss a subject, to provoke by the earnestness with which they pursue a paradox and answered every objection and difficulty raised against them, and then bay it is all a joke—it was done by way of trying my skill against yours. A man ought never to take a pax t which he did not believe. Inward truth fuluess was as necessary to the formation of a sound moral character as was exterior truthfulness. He nev er maintain a would say, thing that you do not believe—never disputa a principle for disputa tion's sake—never consider it a mere recreation to be warring on the side of falsehood, et- immorality, or anything that is wrong. Heknew one instance in which the fondness for disputation and discussion had led to the person who did not believe in his cause bringing the other over and converting him to a falsehcod. Such a course of proceeding was a serious moral offmce. The mind ought in everything to be accustomed to form a just judgment. If it became accustomed to loose ideas of truth and falsehood, what would be the result when it had to pronounce a stern judgment on it sAf, to overcome temptation, and when everything depended upon that uprightness of mind which wes able, from long practice and constant training, on no occasion to swerve by a hairsbreadth on one side or the other ? That the training of the mind must be by the individual was self•evi dent. No two persons thought and felt alike, THE ELM AND Tilt vricc. He would illustrate his meaning by refer ring to a weal-known fact, although it might be re garded as rather commonplace. Prom the earliest ages poets and agriculturists had considered two trees as intimately united to,gether•—the elm and the vine; and those who had visited the beautiful plains and valleys of Italy must have been struck by the loving group and their verdure and fruitfulness. The elm grass- up a stately tree. The vine crept no by its side, a miserable sapling, Without vigour or strength, unable to sustain itself. The one tree lent strength, the other gave beauty. T hey were together, theirrootswere - beneath the sn;' r v~LL _,.cu almost insc parably cney lived upon the same food,they -...:used up nourishment from tho Lia.L.c ground, they drank the same de; Lnd the same rzacs from hea ven. And yet no skill, no power could make them the same. The husbandman might trim an d p rune B `re'd enrich the soil as much as he pileued,ho would never bring a single grape out of the elm, and never form a self-sustaining stock for the vine. They re ceived the same nourishment, but they created what was given to them into a different substance. And so, two daughters growing up together, two sons going to the same college on the same day, would be as different as possible from each other, and no power of exterior culture would make them the same. The aim ought to be not to make them exactly alike, but to make them both useful and good. HIS EMINENCE then proceeded to the con sideration of imagination and memory. Imagi nation consisted in the faculty of receiving pictures in the mind—receiving them from without or even creating them within, although that created within would generally be found re ferable to something from without. Thought and language corresponded with one another. Imagi nation corresponded with painting—the mind saw the whole picture before it, But no two people imagined i❑ the same way or had objects impressed upon them in the same way. Imagination had the power of producing pictures in the mind, but in every instance at a different angle, so that each con templated it at a different point. Speaking practi cally, there were two forms of imagination, each of which ought to be watched over and corrected; the one was excess, the other was deficiency. The ex cess came very much from the mind running away with the reflective power, and strength was required to pull it back. As to deficiency, unless a person was called upon to use his imagination for useful purposes, it did not matter much whether his ima gination was weak or strong. Imagination might be cultivated by the contemplation of nature, by the contemplation of art, and by reading that which wa's sound and good. THE CARDINAL'S TRIBUTE TO ENGLISH POETRY. Take poetry, for instance. No country possessed such an unbroken series of good poets, from Shakspeare to Tennyson, as England, and the character of that class of literature was most wholesome. But he should not recommend the cultivation of the imagination by the reading of novels, many of which were founded on false sen timents and had an immoral tendency. With re spect to memory, this was a power which varied more than any other in different people; but it could be cultivated successfully with respect to things which we ought to remember and desired to remember. It might be encouraged and strengthened by reflection, by dwelling upon events and occur rences which were worth knowing, and mastering them, and treasuring them up in our thoughts, and by securing principles and attaching facts to the memory, not caring too much for mere details, which might easily be obtained. While trying to cultivate scientific, historical, and artistic tastes, there were other courses which would bring more help to self-culture than any of these. Biographies and narratives of travels acted better upon self culture of the mind than any other class of works. His Eminence next adverted to the manner of em ploying our powers to the acquisition of learning from without, observing that the first thing to study was the bent of the mind, and then to ascertain its peculiar methods. PURITY OF THOUGHT. A person growing up ought to train his mind so that he should not fall icto any thing intellectually immoral. He would lay it down as a fundamental principle that every thought partook in guilt of the nature of the action to which it naturally led or tended, and therefore if the ultimate end of anything in the mind would be wrong morally, wrong in action, that thought so immoral must be pursued with greater vigour and animosity than any thong - et that was loose and foolish, and ought to he at once eradicated. The greatest crimes were often com mitted in two diCerent ways. The first was em bodied in the little proverb, " Opportunity makes the thief." A man might have been strictly honest until the opportunity of committing a crime pre sented itself to his mind. As an illustration of this he might mention a case which occurred in London some years ago, when a most respectable lady and gentleman were murdered in the night. The clue was sn simple that the perpetrator of the murder was instantly arrested. He had stolen nothing, and had been on the best possible terms with his master and mistress. Before his execution he stated how the murder had been committed. He said, " As I was cleaning the plate in the pantry, knowing there was a staircase that led directly to the master's room, the idea suddenly flashed through my mind how easy it would be to assassinate them, and I went upstairs and committed the crime." There was the opportunity, and there was not the power of moral control. Another way w hi c h led to the commission of crime was allowing a thought to grow for years and years, until it ripened into a monomania, when it might have been checked by resistance in the first instance. CLOSING REMARKS. In conclusion, His EMINENCE observed that the result of all this training of the intellect was the formation of character. A man ought not to be too solicitous about the forma tion of character. He could not form it. Character must grow. It must be the result of many circum stances. If there was one thing of which men were more ambitious than another it was what was com monly called " character"—" He is a man of charac • ter." Now, what did that mean ? A man of firmness, a man of determination, a man who would carry through his projects—that was a character the most envied. But experience had taught the truth—that the firmness of small minds was obstinacy, while the firmness of great minds was perseverance in the midst of difficulties, resembling the course taken by the water springing from a fountain high up in the Alps, which after overcoming every obstacle becomes a great river, and eventually finds it s wa y into the mighty ocean. At the conclusion of the address a cordial vote of thanks was given to his EMINENCE, who in acknow ledging the compliment said he should be happy at all times to render his assistance in promoting the interests of the institution. The French Consul at Pernambuco has sent to the Socie!e d'Acelimatation, a number of animals, among which are a royal vulture, a guaras, or flamingo, two Brazilian golden pheasants, an electric fish or torpedo, and two large aras (birds of the parrot tribe), ma l e and female. One of the latter was last year the unconscious cause of a useful discovery. Having one day thought pro per to pick off the inflammable matter from a quantity of lucifer matches, it was soon seized with violent convulsions. The Consul, its master, guessing the cause, forced a spoon ful of mixture of water and arnica, or leopard's bane, down its throat. As this remedy seemed to produce a good effect, it was repeated for several days, and so conscious was the bird of its beneficent effects, that it at length used to come and ask for it of its own accord. At the end of a week it was perfectly cured. The Jardin d'Acclimitation has also received a Chinese rose-tree, the flowers of which change their colour three times a-day. FAST LIVING.—The present age lives only for the minute. Railway guards and omnibus conduc4 tors have not the sole monopoly of the expression "Hurry up." The poor little baby of 1863 is made to recognise it, and allowed short time for growing aild learning. It is to be taught precocious habits of personal cleanliness, at what cost soever to its health, lest some trouble be else incurred by the lazy nurse.

Forster, K.H., Military Secretary to his Royal Highness the Duke of Cam bridge, resumed his duties at the Horse Guards on Weduesday last, after a few weeks' leave of absence. Gen. Sir Richard Dacres, in continuation of his half-yearly inspection of the garrison district of Woolwich, yesterday went down to Purfleet in the Admiralty yacht Vivid, accompanied by the garri son staff, and inspected the 7th Division of the Coast Brigade Royal Artillery, stationed there, in command of Capt. Scott. _ . The Light Infantry Division of Royal Marines, stationed at Wool rich, were yesterday brigaded on Woolwich Common, in the presence of Colonel Rodney, Assistant-Adjutant-General, and the staff of the Inspector-General's department. The whole of the division were drawn out and formed in three battalions, in chief command of Col. Mit chell, the respective battalions being commanded by Col. Travers, C. 8., sceond commandant, Lieut.-Col. Marriott, and Lieut.-Col. Sather. The duties of brigade-rnsior were performed by Capt. Bunce. The troops assembled at half-past 1 in heavy march ing order, to the number of 1,200 mer, and went through the evolutions of a brigade field day, dis playing as usual an amount of drill equal to that of any corps in her Mdesty's service. The recruits and undisciplined men recently returned from foreign service afloat went through a course of exercises on the barrack parade. A general inspection and field day was held on Southsea Common yesterday afternoon, Lord W. Paulett. commanding the South-Wee, District, be ing the inspecting officer. The Annamite Ambassadors. The Monitetcr gives some further interesting particulars respecting the Annamite ambassadors, arid particularly de scribes their stay at Toulon :—" The Annamites, who are the people of the extreme East, most advanced in naval constructions, examined with much interest all that was shown to them. Our immense supply of cannon of all sizes, and particularly the armoury, excited their astonish ment. Although it is in general very difficult to detect any expression of feeling in the countenances of the natives of the East, yet the novelty of such a spectacle more than once was seen to strike them with amazement. The nume rous sailors composing the crews of the line of-battle ships, all in full dress, made a deep impression on the first ambas sador, and it was on this subject that he asked the greater number of q uestions. The first vessel visited by the am bassadors in the roadstead was the Imperial yacht the Aigle. , They were evidently deeply impressed by the honour done them, and several times expressed their gra titude towards the Emperor of the French. They would not allow the mandarins of their suite to go below, and themselves abstained with much delicacy from entering the private cabins of their Majesties. The ambassadors during their journey from Marseilles to Paris, constantly took notes of all they saw, and what particularly struck them was the highly cultivated appear ance of the country. So long a panorama of variously cul tivated ground excited their admiration."—The Tatrie adds some further details of the manners and customs of these " distinguished strangers" ; it says :—" Before describing the impression produced upon these Asiatics by the aspect of our civilisation, we may mention that the spectators who beheld them on their arrival were not overwhelmed with admiration at their personal appearance, which is of a cha racter inferior to that of the late Japanese ambassadors, or the more than simple attire attire of their numerous attend ants. These representatives of the yellow race have been immensely flattered by the illustrated journals which have published their portraits. They are generally small and thin, with long black hair, which they do not shave elflike the Chinese ; their eyes and teeth are also black. For the latter they use a die partly compos ed of copperas which pro_ duces that appearance. By them it is considered a mark of beauty ;to heighten it they chow betel-nuts, and rub their teeth several times a day with tobacco. The three ambassa dors wear silk dresses ornamented with gold threads,and carry almost perpetuallY i n their hands an ivory sti c k, w hi c h i s an insignia of their rank. The stick, in fact, plays a great part in the cus toms of the country, With a bamboo rod the officers and persons of their suite make their inferiors understand what they mean. Contrary to the Japanese, who were remarkable for the profusion of jewellery which they wore, the Annamites wear only a few rings. The clothes cf the inferiors consists of simple robes of very thin material. On arriving in France they did not even abandon their national usage of going barefooted, the mandarins alone wearing silk stockings and Chinese shoes, the upper part of which are of stout cloth ; the soles are nearly two inches thick. Their stockings are embroidered with curious fantastical figures. Black, which is considered an aristo cratic, and at the same time a national colour in Cochin- China, predominates in their costume. The cotton-hand kerchief with which the inferiors cover their heads are of this colour. The head-dress worn by the chiefs is of a more pretentious charaoter. It is a sort of a double cardboard hat, covered with black silk, and garnished with figures and gold rosettes. These natives, accustomed to a temperature of more than 100 degrees Fahrenheit, shivered with the cold on their arrival in Paris, having nothing on beyond their thin robes, fastened round the waist with a cord. The officers charged to accompany them immediately proposed to provide them with a dress more suitable to the climate of the French capital, but there were certain diffi culties to be overcome. Ira Cochin China shoes (as before stated) are an article of luxury and a mark of distinction. The ambassador was perfectly willing that warm clothing r eleoulci be provided foe his soldiers and servants, but on the subject of shoes he was inflexible. It was explained to him that the wearing of shoes form no part of the ceremonial in France, and that the pavement was dangerous to the health, but he only gave way on the condition that a difference should be observed in the making of the shoes, and that those of the inferiors should be less handsome than the others. Among the persons composing their suite is a young man, a native of C o c hin China, of very agreeable countenance, and the only one among those Asiatics pos -1 sessing the slightest pretensions to good manners. He speaks fou taiaguag,o, and is peculiarly fluent in French ptory once, with. This ted to
