THE PREVALENCE OF INFANTICIDE.—Last week, a meeting was held in this metropolis, undo: the auspices of the Coroner for Middlesex, to call public atten tion to the rapid increase of infanticide. This is an ugly word, shocking and shaming us so much, that we are un willing to allow the truth it declares. "Is it possible," the well-to-do and comfortably provided reader exclaims, "that infanticide can be a prevalent crime in this civilized metro polis? Talk of it among the Chinese if you will, or among African savages, and I will believe you, but do not scanda lize our Christianity by telling us that it is practised in St. James's or the City of Landon. We aro afraid that it will not be found easy to answer the impeachment, however disgraceful and humiliating. If we argue from what we do know, we shall see reason to suspect that Dr. Lankester and have truth ciao. one breeds another ae fast as flies vivify in hot weather. We have only to look at the swarms of lost women who parade our main thoroughfares by gas!ight, and re flect, first upon their inability and unwillingness to maintain the fruits of their sin, and secondly, upon the proved fact that the mortality among infants under one year is excessive in those districts that are chiefly inhabited by this class of unfortunates, and we shall feel some difficulty its resisting the conclusion to which the argnutents clearly point. Diverging, however, from this special view of infant mortality, there can be no doubt that, throughout this metropolis, there is a large preventible sacrifice of life among children under five years of age. Dr. Letheby informs us that, in our own City of London, 39 per cent of all the deaths occur among children under this age, and that there is about one-third more of these deaths than there should be if the mortality were in the same ratio as that for all England. In the Holborn district matters are worse in this respect, for there we find that the mortality ascends to 44 per cent.—City Press. LETTER FROM NASSAU.—NASSAU, N. P., July 2, —ln for it again ; over 120 in the sun, and not a breath stirring—right in front of my window is a cluster of beautiful feathery bamboos, but for the last few days not a leaf has stirred to my knowledge. This is the rainy season —thunderstorms, including any amount of lightning, either sheet or forked, provided on the shortest notice. As soon as the ground is saturated with rain and the clouds roll off, out comes the sun as fierce as though another Phaeton had usurped the ribbons and got out of his latitude into outs, and then everything is enveloped in a most unhealthy va pour for an hour or so, and in a little while again the leaves are cracking with heat—and so it is likely to go on for two months or so, bad cess to it I Sergeant Yellow Jack arrived a few weeks ago, and is busy beating up and down the city for recruits to fill up the ranks,of the noble army of martyrs. One or two fatal cases occurred among the garrison. Some English workmen, recently imported for building purposes, are now tenants of houses which will outlast anything they could have built had they been spared to exercise their skill. Many a robust young fellow is seized one day, dies the next, and buried on the third. Nothing is talked of but this hide' ous disease—in fact, there seems to be a kind of fascination about the affair, and people not knowing how soon they may be hurried off, seem determined to have a good chat beforehand. For my part, I got pretty well seasoned with fever last year, but then I exposed myself a gteat deal ; just at present, however, I crawl carefully along the shady side with an umbrella overhead—the old song, "Keep always on the sunny side," doesn't apply here. Several English sailors have been found dead in the streets from the effects of drink and exposure to the sun. Poor Jack, at home he could drink twice as much without even a headache, but in this climate it is " kingdom come" in no time. I saw a body the other evening snug under the lee of some cotton bales—the poor wretch had crawled there to escape the heat and have a nap in the shade, and, in consequence, there he was, napping in the very land of shadows. The fever is also raging among the vessels, and what with church bells tolling on shore and flags at half mast in the harbour, the general tone of the place is any thing but cheerful, and it is pretty certain that us strangers have a hard time before us this summer. I would warn captains coming here to provide themselves with proper medicine chests. The other day there were five vessels at Eluthera, shipping pines ; the captain of one of them (the , Blue Bell) took fever. There is no regular medical man at Eluthera, but Dr Kirkwood, of this city, happened to be there on a visit, and out of the five vessels he could only get 13 grains of quinine; the consequence was the case proved , fatal.—Liverpool THE Two GREAT OBJECTS OF THE LATE REBEL RAID.—The two great objects of the late rebel raid were—first, the diversion of General Grant's army from Richmond to the defence of Washington, in which they h ave failed; but in the second, which was plunder, they have doubtless succeeded beyond their most sanguine ex pectations. From Sigel's stores, at Martinsburg, from Wallace's, at Frederick, from the farmers, millers, shop keepers, and apothecaries of Maryland, they have carried off a greater quantity, perhaps, of the very articles of plun der they most needed than. could be gathered in the whole country between Richmond and Georgia. In fact, Jeff. Davis every summer, so far, has drawn upon Old Abe for the needful supplies for the army of Lee, and has obtained them—artillery and ammunition, provisions and clothing, shoes, greenbacks and medicines, niggers, horses, and wag gons, &c.—to the extent of millions of dollars.

The return of the ship to Portsmouth harbour is solely owing to orders given some time since by the Admiralty to place her in dock at the earliest opportunity, in order to remove the band of zinc which is now fixed round the ship below the water-line and between the armour-plating and the Muntz metal sheathing on the ship's bottom, and substitute in lieu of it a wooden band, on a plan which has been approved by the Admiralty. It is also understood that a peculiar kind of cement, simple in application and not expensive, which has been brought under the applied experimentally to that portion of the ship's a n r o m ti o c u e of the rvia th ti e ng A b d e m lo tr w alty by Captain Coles, will be water-line. If successful, the experiment may probably help materially in the solution of the problem lately referred to by Lord Clarence Paget in the House of Commons — how to preserve and keep clean the bottoms of iron waters. The Royal ships Sovereign's on service necessarily in trsofoircat tropical waters. from which she returned on Saturday, only extended to about 20 miles south of St. Catherine's, in a parallel line with the Isle of Wight, quite far enough from the land to test her rolling properties had the wished for breeze been met with; but although a nice sum mer Channel breeze, south-westerly, was found, it was accompanied with no great swell, and a greater roll could not be got out of the ship then 5 deg. each way. Enough, however, was seen to give the officers every confidence in their ship under ordi nary circumstances at sea, and it is evidently un necessary to wish for any further confidence to be placed in the sea behaviour of a craft which after all is only a conversion, and is merely being used as a floating means of testing Captain Cowper Coles's principle of working monster ordnance on board ship by means of revolving platforms protected by cylindrical armour. The Royal Sovereign, in fact, must be viewed from three distinct positions, to which reference will be made after concluding our notice of the short cruise from which she has just returned. It was an important point to test the ship under steam off the land, for it will be remem bered that on her first preliminary run outside Partsmouth harbour the steam pipes of tw o o f h er boilers gave way at their junction in the stop valve boxes ; and, with this object in view, Capt. Osborn caused the guns to be fired in every position the ship assumed under the influence of her engines and the motion given to her by the wind and sea, and the communications between the steam pipe and boilers remained in their normal condition, thus proving that the expansion joints which had been applied in Portsmouth dockyard were fully equal to the service for which they were fitted, and would prevent any recurrence of a similar accident to the one referred to. The low angles of 5 deg- to which the ship only reached in her rolling motion pre vented Capt. Osborn and Capt. Coke from testing the working of the turrets and guns in as severe a manner as they wished, but no perceptible differ ence in the revolving of the turrets or the working of the guns was noticed by the men employed. In the firing, two rounds were first used on Friday in scaling the guns, and afterwards 93 rounds were fired from them with solid cast iron shot and 35ib. and 401 b. charges, according to the elevation of the guns. There was not the slightest hitch throughout. The tables on which the turrets and guns stand re volved as freely, and the guns worked as easily and controllably as during the two days' practice on Tuesday and Wednesday last in St. Helen's Roads, and there was also th. sums absence of concussion or smoke inside the turrets or on the lower deck. if the shots fired by the Royal Sovereign on Friday are compared with the shots fired by the American monitors in their grand attack upon Charleston in 1863, and if the English monitors two previous days' tests in firing at anchor be also taken into consideration, it must be admitted, we think, by every unprejudiced mind that the Eng lish turret principle has been very fairly tested, and has proved a decided success ; and this may be asserted without entering any further into the somewhat foolish controversy of " central v. broadside ships' batteries" than to ob serve that the 1 2 -ton 101-inch gun has been fired in the Channel from a central b a tt er y on bo ar d a ship, whereas it has not from a ship's broadside battery. In the grand attack upon Charleston the nine Federal ironclads, mounting 23 guns between them, only fired 139 shots in all, and the greatest number of shots fired by any one vessel was only 26. The Royal Sovereign fired on Friday 20 shots a p l ns e per gundegrees, the highest elevation being and at different angles tienlsevation which can be at. from nf her elevation, fi extentv e o g f tamed by the gnus of no other ship in her Majesty's navy, whether mounted on the broadside or pivoted on the upper deck. eg r ee e Reverting to the three distinct positions from which we stated the Royal Sovereign must be viewed by the general public, it is necessary that t his part of the question should be thoroughly un derstood in order that no erroneous impressions may take their hold on the public mind. These three positions are-1. The hull of the ship ; 2, the turre ts and their motive Power ; 3, the guns. For the first and third the Admiralty and War Depart ment are alone responsible. F or the second Capt. Coles alone is responsible. W e have said enough to prove that Cept. Co les , 8 part in the work has been well and satisfacto ril y performed. With regard to the ship's hull and her guns, a little more remains to be said. In th e first place, what ever her behaviour may ; eventually prove to be at sea, the Royal Sovereign . 8 1 after all, but an adapted means of flo atin g turrets and guns so as to test the practicability of the system afloat. The hull undoubtedly draws too much water —that is, swims too deeply—to be of service in shallow waters; it has too much breadth, and expo se , an unnecessary area of upper-deck planking to a plunging fire ;bat these and other objections which might be urged against the hull of the Roy al Sovereign are matters which concern only the Admiralty and the public, but not Captain Coles. The ship W as selected by the Admiralty for a most important experiment, and it would be rashness, at the very least, to say that the selection was injud icious, Whatever faults of hull the Royal Sovereign may now possess. The ship's guns are a more serious matter to deal with. The four turret guns of the Royal Sovereign each weigh 12 tons, and have each a bore the diame ter of which is 101 inches. They are coil built, but are simply smooth-bore guns, throwing a spherical castiron shot of 1501 b with 35ib of Powder as " full" charge, or with 401 b of powder as a " distant" charge. Now, it is evident that from this 12-ton gun, with its.lolin. diameter of bore, but a miser able return is got with a 1501 b. cast iron shot. The fact is, the guns of the Royal Sovereign should be made by some simple mode of rifling to throw 300 lb. oast iron shell for any engagement with wooden ships, and steel shot and shell of the same weight for the benefit of ironclade. It is asserted, however, that the Royal Sovereign's guns will only stand as smooth bores, and that any attempt to rifle them can only end in their destruction. This as sertion reduces the question of the Royal Sove reign's efficiency to a very narrow compass. If the has to wait for her rifled 300 -pounders (or 600 e pounders, as the case may be) h to -e manufactured, then the ship should be at once s upplied with steel shot to some extent, however small, in order to ren der her present armament of smooth bore guns of some use against the iron coat of an adversary. At the present moment there is not one steel shot or shell on board the ironclad fleet of her Majesty's navy, which is therefore thus, however efficient may be its powers of defence, harmless in powers of offence against any similarly protected adversary. From Charlecote the party travelled four miles further along a well wooded and fertile country to Stratford, where they arrived about four o'clock. It was rather a notable coincidence that the excur sion of the Archreologists to the birth and burial place of Shakespeare should have happened on the last day of the sale of the remnants of the tercen tenary celebration. The sale had been going on nearly all the week, and the auctioneer had just knocked down his last lot as the archreological pil grims from Warwick arrived at the Shakespearean shrine. Of course the visitors inspected all the " lions" of the place, beginning with the church, so pleasantly placed on the banks of the " soft flowing Avon," as this river has been not inaptly described, though its waters were to-day rippled into tiny waves by a fresh westerly breeze, which rustled cheerily among the fine elm trees that bor. der the churchyard, and caused the willows on the banks of tha classic stream to show the grey lining of their copious foliage. The church and its monuments have been too often described to leave anything new to be said of them. The Shakespeare bust (which has recently been painted in colours) stands against the north wall of the chancel, an enduring monument to the greatest of England's poets. Thousands upon thousands, not only of Englishmen and English women, but inhabitants of far distant lands, have gazed upon it and silently acknowledged the great gifts of him whose memory it perpetuates and whose lineaments it is believed faithfully to pour tray. The church had only just been cleared of an excursion party of workpeople from the busy mid land metropolis, when they were succeeded by the more learned visitors. The following is an exact copy of the inscription beneath the bust : Judicio Pylivm, genio Socratem, arto Maronem Terra tegit, popylvs mooret, Olympvs habet s Stay passenger, why goest thov so fast ? Read, if thou canst, whom enviovs death hath plaat Within this monvment, Shakspere with whome Qvick natvro dide : whose name doth deck ys tombs Far more than cost : sith all yt he bath writt Leaves living art bvt page to serve his Witt. Obiit ano Doi, 1G1G• .tatis 53, die 23 Ar." Mr. BERESFORD HOPE (the party having assem bled in the chancel) reminded his audic nen that this was no common parish church, but a collegiate church. Its length was 197 feet, being longer than Coventry r.h,:rch. Mnrpnvpr, it Was a cross ohureh, and must have been arranged, looking to the chan cel, for a large body of clergy. He called upon the vicar to give some account of its foundation. The Rev. G. GRANVILLE thereupon said that in the time of John de Stratford, respecting whom so interesting a paper had been read that morning by Dr. Hook, this church had a dean and four priests, and as at that time the population was not equal to the number of priests the latter were employed in visiting the usighbouring parishes. The deanery was done away with in the time of Henry VIII., and the revenues were placed in the hands of the corporation, who from that time paid certain stipends to the vicar and chaplain. The living was now only parochial. About 30 years ago the church was restored. The galleries, though objectionable in an archmological point of view, were less so than any other church galleries that he had ever seen. The dcor on the north side of the chancel, near Shake pere's monument, was the entrance to the charnel house, which had been pulled down some time ago. That part of the church in which they were assem bled was built in the 15th century, but the tower and transept were of much earlier date. Mr SEVERN WALKER, secretary to the Wore cester Diocesan Architectural Society, said the diocess of Worcester (in which Stratford is situate) did not possess many fine parochial churches, but this was one. As the vicar had told them, this was a collegiate as well as a parochial church. There were originally two altars—the parochial altar, at the east end of the south side, and the col legiate altar, in the usual place, the east end of the chancel. He pointed out the fact that the columns supporting the nave arcade are not octagonal, but hexagonal. He also pointed out three panels in front of the west window as being rather unusual. The spire was modern, but copied from the old one. Mr. BERESFORD HOPE having asked for same information respecting the colouring of the monu ment to Shakspere, The Rev. G. GRANVILLE said the reason he bad, in conjunction with his f e llow-townsmen, for restor. ing the monument to its original colour was that they conceived the monument ought to bear as much as possible the stamp and character of the time when it was placed there. He did not mean to say that as it was the monument was better than in stone colour, but the object was to have it re. stored to its original appearance. Ho himself saw the work done. The monument was taken down, put into a tub of water and chemicals, and the whitewash washed off it. In this process some of the paint was slightly rubbed off, and where this was done it was carefully repainted. They simply cleaned it of its whitewash. He was aware that this work had been much canvassed , but he believed there were now only one or two persons of opinion that they had done wrong in removing the wash that covered the old paint. The next move was to the vestry, where the parish registers were shown. From the uniform appear. since of the writing the register appears to be a copy. The entries of the baptism and death of Shakspere are entered as follows : " Births. " 15G1—Apri1 26.—Guliehnus filius Johannis Shakspear." "Deaths. " 1616—April 25.-IVill. Shakspeare, gent." The name of the bard, it will be seen, is spelt differently in the two entries. The Chapel of the Holy Cross in the middle of the town was next visited, and the ruins of New-place hard by, which are walled in and preserved. The foundations, which show the ground plan of the building where Shakspare breathed his last, are bared. Shakspere's birthplace in Henley-street was the last place visited, and some time was spent in its examination. The walls of the room in which the poet was born are still covered with autographs, among which is that of Sir Walter Scott. Lord Byron's was once there, but cannot now be traced. The attendant informed the visitors that this prac tice of scribbling on the wall was now forbidden, but, in fact, the veto is unnecessary, for there is no vacant space for another name. The Maseum is fast increasing. In it are to bo seen Shakspere's signet ring, his school desk, and the inden ture of bis purchase cif New-place. Here also is the We must no longer seek for fashion in Paris—the fickle goddess is to be found in the chateaux or at the watering places, but her reign there is as despotic as in the capital. Foulard is still a favourite, and just now baroge hnd cham bery gauze are much worn ; also a charming material called Indian gauze, is used for demi-toilet. Dresses of pique or batiste, simply ornamented with white or coloured braid, and with a little vtste to match, are exceedingly useful. More elegant dresses, but still made with vestes, are of muslin or batiste trimmed with guipure, Valenciennes, em broidery, or ribbon bows. The square fichu is that decidedly preferred to be worn with low-bodied summer evening dress. The ceinture is now one of the most important parts of the toilet. For young girls of slight figure nothing can be more becoming than the Swiss ceinture, embroidered and trimmed with lace or ruches of ribbon, worn over a white chemisette. Bands of thick plain ribbon are quite the order of the day. Wide square buckles are worn with them. Muslin shawls and camails, trimmed with insertion and flounces of lace, are in vogue. The richest are lined with taffetas; others, more simple, are trimmed with festooned flounces or ball fringe, an insertion over ribbon being Placed all round. Some half-fitting casaquos are also made of muslin with embroidered eeams. This season white tarlatan is much used for trimming taffetas. It seems a strange fancy, but when well arranged it has dgood effect. But the best way of making our readers acquainted with la mode is to proceed to our description of dresses. A straw-coloured lawn dress : at the bottom of the skirt, a plaited flounce about five inches wide, and upon each plait a coquille of black lace partly on the skirt. A small veste of the same material as the dress, trimmed round with black lace ; opened in front, but attached by pattes, which cross over a waistcoat of batiste, with insertion and Valenciennes lace forming a jabot, and also placed round the basques. A dress of white alpaca ; the bottom of the skirt cut in very deep festoons, and edged with a wide cerise ribbon. This trimming is rounded off, and carried up the side as far as the waist. A narrow flounce is placed over the ribbon round the festoons. Ceinture corselet, with basques Direc toire made of cerise taffetas and embroidered with jet, With this elegant dress is worn a high body and long sleeves of muslin bouillonnee, and cross-barred with narrow cerise velvet. A spotted muslin dress, over sky-blue tarlatan; a flounce about six inches wide trimmed with guipure, and headed with a magnificent insertion, which is carried up each seam in horse-shoe form to the height of a quarter of a yard. A postilion vests, trimmed in the same style. Underneath a Swiss ceinture of blue taffetas, with very long and wide ends falling behind. A robe of white foulard : the skirt trimmed round with a wide band of blue taffetas, edged on each side with a quilling, and embroidered with white silk. A small collet to match, and a jockey hat of Leghorn, trimmed with a white feather and blue bow, complete this toilet. A white muslin dress, with a plaiting and revers, about five inches wide, round the bottom of the skirt and up each side of the seams, gradually diminishing in width. These revers are embroidered and placed over pink. The vcste and sleeves trimmed to match. A robe of pointed muslin, the body full at the waist: ceinture of lilac gauze, with a satin edge trimmed with black lace. The bottom of the skirt trimmed with a quilling of the same ribbon, covered with black lace. THE MURDER AND SUICIDE IN SOMERS TOWN. —The hatchet which was discovered in the water butt at the house where this tragedy was enacted has been sent to Dr. Harley to be examined, in order to see if certain marks upon it are stains of blood. It was also believed, from other signs, that it was not thrown into the water butt until some time after the murder. Upon Brown's coat are several spots, believed to be blood, as well as hairs from the woman's head. The deeds referred to at the coroner's inquest, which the man Brown was stated to have handed to his son, George James Brown, and which are endorsed with the name of "Rosetta Bishop," the mut.• dered woman, have been handed over to the police. They relate to property which had been given to her by the elderly gentleman who visited her, and whom the old woman Loader said she called her uncle. It has been ascertained that the deceased woman had declared her \ a R s e . o f L INcoL quarrel.N.—We see that the in tention, as soon as she could get p o s sess i on o f th es e deeds, to leave Brown ; and it is believed that their possession was the immediate CHEEßlNG-UP u papers are referring to the fact that Lincoln ordered a comic song to be sung upon a battle-field. We have known the facts about the transaction for some time, but have re frained from speaking them. As the newspapers are now stating some of the facts, we will give the whole. Soon after ono of the most desperate and sanguinary battles Mr Lin coln visited the commanding General and the army. While on his visit the commanding general with his staff took him over the field in a carriage, and explained to him the plan of the battle, and the particular places where the fight was most fierce. At one point the commanding general said " Here on this side of the road 500 of our brave fellows were killed, and just on the other side of the road 400 more were slain, and right on the other side of that wall 500 rebels were de stayed. We have buried them where they fell." "I de clare," said the President, "this is getting gloomy. Let us drive away." After driving a few rods the President said " This makes a feller feel gloomy. Jack" (speaking to a companion) " can't you give us something to cheer us up ? Give us a song, and give us a :ively one." Thereupon Jack struck up, as loud as he could bawl, a comic negro song, which ho continued to sing while they were riding off from the battle ground. and till they approached a regi ment drawn up, when the commanding general eaid " Mr President, wouldn't it be well for your friend to cease his song till wo have passed this regiment ? The poor fellows have lost more than half of their numbers. They are feeling very badly, and I should be afraid of the effect that it may have on them." The President then asked his companion to stop his singing till they got by that regi ment. We are aware that this story is incredible; it is impossible that a President of the United States could so conduct himself over the fresh-made graves of the heroic dead. But, nevertheless, the story is such on such autho rity that we know it to be true.—Essex (America) States man. TAKE CABE OF THE CHILDREN.—That children are so much left to the care of servants in so many families of the middle classes, is perhaps in many oases un avoidable. Nevertheless, it is a great evil. However at tentive and conscientious servants may be, and even allowing them to possess the necessary intelligence, it can.. not be expected that their efforts can ever fulfil the office of the loving, watchful eye of the mother. It has been ob• served that children who aro attended to by their mother, who aro undressed and put to bed by her, who open their eyes in the morning to behold her cheerful face and loving looks, who by her are dressed, and kept under her tender and judicious care throughout the day, are, as a rule, jar more good-tempered, healthy, and intelligent than such as are left almost wholly to the care of servants. In addition to this, it should be borne in mind that the accidents which so frequently happen to children, and by which they are often crippled, maimed, or rendered idi otic, mostly arise from the negligence of those in whose care they are left by inco n siderate mothers. Parents who love t he i r children, and are solicitous for their welfare , shou ld give these dse wag domestic yr se. con siderations their earnest atten tion, for they are founded in upon facts of the utmost itinpeorctslinirces at relation aNya t ooua anuand happiness and well-being.—Old Jonathan. SAVED BY CRINOLINE.. —A few maid lost her way on h went close to the edg e of the precipitous cliffs, when she slipped and fell to the beach below, a distance of 108 feet. Her crinoline expanding with the air, however, so broke the fall that she landed without a scratch or bruise, and although much shaken, was able at once to walk 100 yards and ininrin her pajama of the occurrence,— Western ..3forn _ tng ;Vetch tho Jewish subjects of ou r L or d whom God may preserve With regard to your s t a t emen t respec ting the affairs of in strength, we have to observe, that Owl/ are his subjects, and he, may God preserve him and perpetuate his glory and greatness, does not like that they should be pursued by acts of injustice and torment in their unfortunate position, because God, the Most High, forbids injustice towards people professing our religion, and he likew iso forbids in justice towards people professing any other religion.

Newspaper Press Fund, A general meeting of the members and subscribells to this institution was held on Saturday at the Freem as one' Tavern, to receive a report and balance-sheet from the c otu mittee of management. Lord Houghton, president of the society, occupied the chair. Lard HOUGHTON", in opening the proceedings, said there was a good deal of misapprehension and unnecessary fears • as to the society exercising any improper influence, either politically or socially. The fund was not meant in any de - gree to apply merely to Parliamentary reporters, or even b reporters of any kind. Of course those gentlemen woul be an element in the composition of the society. but the y only took their due share in it ; therefore it seemed that at iy fear that through the means of the Parliamentary report , Irs any partiality or injustice should ensue was a perfet;tly chimerical supposition. INIr. H. G. 'WARREN, hon. sec., then road the report and the balance sheet. They were both of an exceedingly satis factory and encouraging character. The balance sheet showed that the total receipts of subscriptions and don ations since June of last year amounted to £1,566 13s, the whole of which has been received without deduction for c el.i.ectors' commission, and that after paying every expense conse quent on the festival and the ordinary office outla.) -, there remained to the credit of the fund a balance of £1,346 12s Bd, of which sum £l,OOO is on deposit with the baaliers of the fund at 5 per cent. Resolutions thanking the noble president, the vice -pre sidents, the committee, and Mr Warren, hon. sec., for their several good services, were carried with acclamation., and the meeting separated. LORD CARLISLE.—It is very:widely rumour; ?d in London that the Earl of Car)isle is likely to :Field to the opinion of his medical advisers, by withdrawing fora time from the fatigues of public life.

How NOT TO Do IT.—We ere told that the troops just arrived from Madras on board the Hornet—a wing of the 74th Highlanders, and detachments of invalids and discharged soldiers—ran short of provisions, and were actually on half rations for the latter part of the voyage. We are also told that, although the ship was at Spithead, and Netley Hospital, for which the invalids were destined, almost within sight, they were obliged to be sent round to the Thames, and back again by railway from Gravesend, owing to the terms upon which the Hornet was chartered. The voyage was undoubtedly protracted—nearly four,months and a half from Madras to England, but not to an extent which can excuse such a short supply of provisions as in volves the placing of men on half rations. The blunder re specting the poor invalds was cruel in its consequences and inexcusable tha origin. Parliament is no longer sitting, but surely it is not too much to expect that some steps will be taken to punish those who are in fault, and prevent the re currence of blunders that may have a fatal, as they in the present instance have had a cruel, influence upon the health of her Majesty's troops.—Army and Nary Gazette. ASSESSED TAXES.—The assessed taxes continue more or less to increase in productiveness. The house-tax produced £841,679 in the financial year ending with March 1863, and 898,274 in the financial year ending with March, 1864. The tax on servants rose from £203,893 to £208,830; on carriages from £340,106 to £350,833; on dogs from £199,965 to £205,329 ; on armorial bearings from £58,359 to £60,182. The tax on hair-powder unfortunately brings in less and less every year, and has now fallen to 1,000 guineas, A SKIP'S CREW POISONED.—On Saturday in• telligenee was received that the officers and crew of the bark Ouse, cf Sunderland, which lately sailed from the Tyne, bound to Alexandria, had been maliciously poisoned by the cook. The particulars which have arrived are very scanty, but it appears that the vessel had a crew of 10 sea men. A west countryman, who acted as cook, from a feel ing of revenge for some grievance, conceived the idea of poisoning the entire crew. He mixed poison among the men's daily rations, and shortly after partaking of them all hands became ill. The mate, a seaman named Alder, Burton Brown, a young man pilot, and another sailor named James Doyle, died from the effects of the poison. The remainder of the crew sufficiently recovered to navigate the vessel to San Roque, near Gibraltar, whence the master has telegraphed to the owner of the vessel, Mr Thurlbeck, of Sunderland, informing him of the occurrence. Upon the vessel arriving in port the cook was g iven into the eus tody of the authorities, and charged with murder. They are investigating the affair. In the meantime the vessel la detained. an d advanced at a given signal. gered some days in h orr id agony. NOVEL DUEL.—Awictohlilcekatsmfoinrewrseaaptonlahe sir.

STORY OF A SNAKE.--The .Lockport Journal states that there lives in Mercer ' Canada West ' a woman who has for tou r years past been afflicted with a singular difficulty in her stomach. The complaint commenced about four years since with a tickling and uneasy sensation about the pit of the stomach. The sensation has continued to in crease in severity. A few months since it l rearms tie opinion of the physicians that the increasing difficulty had been the growth of a snake in the stomach. It has grown so large now that it distends the stomach as to produce a bunch upon the outside as 14.476 as a quart bowl. Upcn pressing this butch with the hand the reptile recoils and produces groat distiess in the stomach. When fish or meat is being cooked in the tam. if the snake is not satisfied with food it rises up in the throat, producing strangulation. When desiring food, it manifests it by rising up in the throat. Physicians can see noway in which the snake can bo removed without cartain death to the woman. She is about 35 year s o f age. DOG Firs.—On Thursday night upwards of 16,000 dog fishwere caught by the men belonging to the Victorii, of Plymouth, not far from the port.
