II E MARKET] AND CCIIMEIWIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The B ink of England rate of discount continues at 6 per cent., the direotors at their weekly court this morning tot having considered it necessary to Make any farther alteration. The requirements o the commercial public are still large; but, es it is thought that in the course of a short time they will be contracted within their usual limits, no surprise has b!en occasioned by the continuance of the offi. cial quotation at its present figure. The terms charged by brokers and others are equal to those current at the national establishment, and a large number of applications have consequently there been made by the mercantile classes. The committee of the Stock Er.change have ap. Pointed Monday, the 27th inst., a special settling day in the shares of the London and Provincial Marine Insurance new issue, in the Miliwali Iron Works Company, and in tho Otago and Southland Investment Company (in the latter instance only as regards transactions entered into on and after the 4 th May), all of which are to be marked on the official lists. The last week's rai'Lway receipts, ascertained up to this day, are, in round figures, as under:— 1864. 1863. G reat Western North-Western , S outh -Western Brighton .. 20,142 20,113 _ Great N ort h ern Lancashire 40,830 35,210 and Yorkshire..., 61,588 53,3 1 )3 North E astern Brist o l an d E xeter 46,721 4 i 0.54 kidland 801 Ith Eastern Great E astern North B r iti s h These returns are in most instances of a very favourable character when compared with those of the same period of last year. On the Great Western the increase is £4,208; on the North Western, £10,296; on the South Western, .£3,995 ; an the B righton, £29 ; on the Great Northern, £3,763; on the Lancashire and Yorkshire, £5,620 ; an the North Eastern, £8,285; on the Bristol and seter, £1,678; on the Midland, £5,607; on the South Eastern, £2,059; on the Great Eastern, £ 2 ,109 ; and on the North British, £BOO. We are informed that an arrangement on equit able and satisfactory terms has this day been pro visionally concluded for a fusion of the capital and business of the London Bank of Scotland with the Mercantile and Exchange Bank. The goodwill of the former bank will be transferred to the latter, Whose London board will be strengthened by the addition of five of the present directors of the Lon. don Bank of Scotland, and its nominal capital 15 by these arrangements to be increased to 4000,000, of which £BOO,OOO will be paid up. The susl:ension bas been announced of Messrs. Lawrence and Fry, timber brokers, with liabilities e stimated at .050,000, and which have been ins etzrred, not in connexion with the timber trade, but in the execution of railway contracts. According to the following circular it appears that a satisfac tory liquidation is relied upon " 10, New Bread-street, June 22. • "Gentlemen,—tide regret to have to inform you that in "Ilsequenee of the non-payment of a very large sun of tzioney due to us we are advised, after mature deliberation, to euspend payment. "We feel justified in asserting, however, that our assets are largely in excess of our liabiiities, and therefore wits the more confidence ask your kind forbearance pending the investigation of our affairs by Messrs. Coleman, Turquand, Yourgs, and Co- "We are, gentlemen, your obedient servants, "LAWRENCE AND FRY." The prospectus of the Lon(' on Theatre Company, which will be found in our advertising columns, is one that sseras to carry with it complete and certain success, as the want of a superior place of entertainment in the ncJiglibourhood of Kin:'s cross has kn..; been felt. The object of the directors le to erect a spacious and elegant theatre in that neighbourhood (an admirable site havin g been already secured), capable of accommodating 2,500 Persons, for dramatic and operatic performances, and a smaller ono for first class amateur enter tainments and concerts. There are already many advantages in favour of the proposal, namely, a densely populated neighbourhood, the absence of a theatre north-west of the metropolis, the proximity of the termini of the Great Northern, the London and North-Western, the Metropolitan, and the intended terminus of the Midland Railway. The directors also propose to associate with the theatres a restaurant on an enlarged and improved scale, for the purpose of supplying to the public refreshments of the very best description at the lowest prices, which will doubtless prove a boon to the public and a source of considerable revenue to the company. The capital is fixed at £50,000, in 8,0 00 shares at £lO each. From calculations that have been mode, very nearly 20 par cent. profit is anticipated. Tao prospectus of the London and Southwark Insurance Corporation has been issued, with a view of affording additional facilities for life and fire ins larance on the south side of the Thames. In foaming the company the directors do not profess to base its Prospects merely upon local associations, yet it must be admitted that such a consideration must enter lzrarely into the probabilities of a successful under taking. It is certainly curious that up to the pre aent period no great effort has been made in this par tictilar direction to extend the advantages of insur ance, especially as the boroughs south of the Thames contain a population of no less than 650,000, in habiting PAM houses, beside which there are exten atvo wharves, warehouses, and manufactures of many denominations representing a vast amount of pro- Party and influence. The promoters of this new company propose to supply the omission, and with the talent and energy with which the matter has been taken up the prospects of complete success is almost certain. The directors are all first-rate men of business, and the raduction that has lately taken place in the rate of insurance slaty, will no doubt secure for them a large amount of business. The capital is set down at £500,000. in 20,000 £25 shares; but, in the first instance, it is only proposed to issue 10,000, with a call of £5, es there will be no expenditure of " promotion money." The direc tors have already scented very eligible offices in the most prominent part of Southwark. Two o'CLocK. At the Paris Bourse this morning, according to neuter's telegrams, the Three per Cent. Rentes Were quoted 65f. 87c. The decline in the Stock Exchange markets yes terday was followed by a strong relapse through rumours which for the moment led to the belief that a peaceful settlement of the war in Germany had bees successfully obtained by the Ministers. But this morning, however, the painful intelligence gained ground that the Conference had broken up, and that war would be recommenced, which ex cited further distrust in the public mind, and Con sols have gone down 3.16 per cent., the quotations being 8911 for money, and for the account 895 90.

An influential deputatioh of Australian colonists waited upon Mr Cardwell at the Colonial-office yesterday, to urge the stoppage of the transportation of convicts to Western Australia. The deputation pointed out that the colonies were much opposed to convicts being sent out to them, and it was added that if the Government peristed in this step a very angry feeling would be aroused. Mr Cardwell said that no credit was given to the Govern ment for what had been done in lessening the evils of which the colonists had complained. Instead of thanks the Go vernment were now threatened with agitation. He pro mised the deputation that their representations should be most carefully considered, but he could give no pledge as to the action of the Government. ERRATA.—In our review of " The Day-Dreams of a Schoolmaster," in The Sara of Monday, one of the extracts was accidentally transposed, as must have been very evident to the reader.—ln line 11 of the letter (signed "Uncommon Sense") on Recruits for the Army, instead of " bug no well-conducted man," read "for no well-conducted man."

A PRE-SENTIMENTAL SONG !—The HOD. Cathe rine Harriet Maynard has dedicated a song to the Viscoun tess Cornbermere. It is called "The Eve of Inkermann," as it appears it was written on the eve of that battle, all un.conscious of that great event, but breathes a prayer as appropriate as if it had been penned in prophetic power of insight. A Paris corespondent of the Sulut Public o► Lyons mentions a report that the Duchess Of Malakoff is in an in teresting situation. The Weser Gazette statEs that the sea has pene. traced through the concrete laid down in Ono of the docks established in the Prussian naval port of Jando, and has done great damage. Fears are entertained that the opera tions will be in consequenc3 interrupted for a considerable time. MORE SACEIFICES TO THE CRIROLINE MOLOCH , —Yesterday E a young Woman named Emily Groves, 20 years of age, an imbecile, residing in the care of Mrs Ashton, at Carf:er-street, Walworth-road, went into the kitchen, where her crinoline-expanded dress caught fire by n i , 0 sweep iaTest the bars of the grate, an d i n a moment the rr • unfortunate creature was enveloped in flames.

EARL POULETT.—We have to annou nce the demise placo on Monday afternoon, at t h e f am il y se at, Hinton St. George, of the a b ove no bl eman , which took S o mixsetshire. Th e deceased J o h n Poulett, son of the fourth earl, was born in 1783, and married in 1820 Charlotte Fanny, daughter of the late Henry Berkeley Portman (uncle to the first Lord Portman). His lordship succeeded his father in 1819, and was colonel of the Somer set Militia from.lBl9 to 1852.

The Case of the Bishop of Natal, JUDICIAL COMMITTEE AND PRIVY COUNCIL (THIS DAY.) This morning the first proceeding in England, connected with the deposition of the Right Rev. Dr. I. W. Colenso, Bishop of Natal, from his see, was commenced before the Judicial Committee and Privy Council at Whitehall. There were present the Lord Chancellor. Lord Wensleydale, Lord Kingsdown, Lord Cranworth, Lord Chelmsford, Sir Edward Ryan, and Sir J. T. Coleridge. The circumstances which have given rise to this petition to the Judicial Committee of Privy Council (for the pro ceedings cannot be regarded in the light of an appeal, inas much as the Bishop of Natal denies the power of the Bishop of Cape Town to depose him) are of such recant date, and have been so fully discussed that it is not necessary to re peat them in detail. Dr Colenso, who was a fellow of St John's College, Cambridge, and Rector of Fornnett St Mary, Norfolk, was nominated to the bishopric of Natal in 1853 by the Duke of Newcastle, who was then Secretary of State for the Colonies, and was consecrated by the Arch bishop of Canterbury. His letters patent bore date Novem ber, 1853, and the letters patent to the Bishop of Cape Town as metropolitan were dated 1853. In the former it is set out that the Bishop of Natal and his successors shall be subject and subordinate to the see of Cape Town, and to the Bishop thereof and his successors, in the same manner as any bishop of any see within the province of Canterbury is under the authority of the archiepiscopal see of that province, and of the archbishop of the same. The Bishop of Natal denies that the language used conveyed to the Bishop of Cape Town jurisdiction over his suffering, and that the metropolitan is not by law authorised to sum mon before his tribunal any one of his suffragans, or to exercise jurisdiction over him. Some months ago the Bishop of Natal came to England and published some works on the subject of the Pentateuch, the contents of which aro known to all the world. He was "presented" by the Dean of Cape Town and other clergy to the Metropolitan, who cited him to appear in his court; but Dr Colenso disre garded the summons, and the trial proceeded in his absence. The result was that he Nets deposed from his bishopric by the formal decision of the Bishop of Cape Town in his court. Tho lontirm More the Court this morning had reference to this deposition. Mr James, Q.C., Mr J. Fitzjames Stephen, and Mr J. Westlake appeared for the Bishop of Natal. The proceed ings being ex parte, no counsel appeared for the Bishop of Cape Town or the prosecutors The petition, the details of which were stated by Mr James, prayed that her Majesty would be pleased to declare the petitioner to be entitled to hold his see until the letters patent granted to him shculd be cancelled by due process of law for some sufficient cause of forfei ture, and to declare that the letters patent granted to the Bishop of Cape Town, in so far as they purported to create a Court of Criminal Justice within the colony, and to give to the Archbishop of Canterbury an appellate jurisdiction, had been unduly obtained from her Majesty and did not affect the petitioner's rights. The petitioner also prayed that the pretended trial and sentence were void and of no effect, and that an inhibition, as was usual in ecclesiastical cases, should issue against the pro ceedings under the sentence pending the appeal. The Lord. Chancellor, in the name of their lordships, ordered the petition to stand over until the sittings of the Judicial Committee of Privy Council in or after Michaelmas term, with liberty to Dr. Colenso to serve the petition in the meantime on such persons as he might desire to serve. Their lordships, he said, declined for the present to enter tain the question of inhibition, since to grant it would be to assume jurisdiction on the part of the Bishop of Cape Town. The case was then ordered to stand over until the Michaelmas sittings. The Bishop of Natal was presont daring the proceedings. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This rays BIARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBING GENTLEMEN IN THE HATMARKET.—TWO CHARGES AGAINST A FEMALE.—GANG ROBBERIES.— Elizsbeth Wilson, a stylishly dressed female, was charged before Mr Knox with stealing a watch, of the value of £25, from the person of Mr Mortimer Collins, a gentleman at present residing at the British Hotel, Cockspur-street. She was further charged with robbing M. Jean de Belmont, a French gentleman, residing in Stanhope-street, Regent's park, of his watch and chain. Mr Mortimer Collins stated that he was walking down the Haymarket about half-past two o'clock this morning on the way to his hotel, when the prisoner stepped up to him and put her arms round his waist. He immediately pushed her away and found his watch chain hanging down, and on putting his hand into his pocket found that his watch had been abstracted. The prisoner ran away, but he followed her, and while doing so a man, who shammed drunkenness, tried to intercept him. Having pushed the man away he continued his pursuit of the prisoner, and at last overtook her and gave her into custody. In answer to Mr Knox, the prosecutor said he was per fectly sober at the time, and never spoke to the prisoner till he told her to go away. He had just before looked at his watch, which was of the value of £25. The prisoner, who pretended to cry, stated that she never saw the prosecutor till he charged her with robbing him. Felix M'Mahon, 165 C, said that on the prisoner being given into his charge she said the gentleman had made a mistako. The watch was not found. The prisoner, who shed some forced tears, said, in answer to the magistrate's question of whether she wished to plead before him, that it was hard to say she was guilty when she was innocent. Mr Knox having been informed that a second gentleman wished to press a charge, M. Jean de Belmont, of Stanhope-street, Regent's-park, said that about half-past 12 last night he was under the arcade in the Haymarket—the Operiv.arcade—when the prisoner came up to him and felt him about. but knowing how persons were robbed by reading the reports in the papers he kept a sharp lookout. Directly after the prisoner laughed, evidently as a signal, and up walked a young man, no doubt, to receive what the prisoner had taken, He (M. De Belmont) noticed his watch and chain in the prisoner's hand, and took them from her, and she ran away. He then spoke to and assisted the police for two hours in locking for the prisoner, and then left the constable for a short time, after which the constable came up and said he had got the woman. He considered the conduct of the police very good. The prisoner, who, as soon as a second charge was pre ferred against her, quite altered her tone, assuming a defiant air, was then committed for trial on both charges. WESTMINSTER,. A DRUNKEN CABMAN.—James Blake, cab proprietor, James street, Larksll-lane, was charged before Mr Arnold with being drunk while driving his cab. Police-constable Skeet. 61 B, said that he was on duty about two o'clock that morning near Eccleston-bridge, when he saw the prisoner on his cab. He was asleep, and appeared under the influence cf liquor. Witness awoke him, when, seeing that he was not able to drive his horse and cab, he took him into custody and to the station-house. The prisuner was fined 10s. _ _ _ A MOST INCORRIGIBLE PAUPER—Elizabeth Roberts, aged 16, was charged with breaking a door at Chelsea workhouse and cutting it up for firewood. Mr Daniel Sutton, master of the workhouse, produced the remnants of the door which had been cut up by the prisoner into firewood. He stated that it been broken by the prisoner. Mr Harrison, one of the guardians, said that the priso ner had been repeatedly at that court on charges of dis orderly conduct and imprisonment. The guardians had done all in their power to reclaim her, and she had been sent to a Ileformatory, but they had been unsuccessful in all their efforts. • A long conversation took place as to what could be done for her reformation, and it was observed by Mr Arnold that she seemed a subject of chronic, depravity. She was sent for a month to the House of Correction. PLYMOUTH, Tuesday.—The ship Blackwall, 1,000 tons, Captain William Harrison, belonging to Mr H.

Tho following is an extract from a private letter dated Varna, June 1— " I see by the English papers that it is pro posed to raise a subscription for these poor Circassians, and never did people need it more. There has been a mistake as to where they are to be landed in Bulgaria., The Government meant to send them nearly all to Rustchuk, but contracted with shippers fora passage only to this place, which is 100 miles from their destination. The Circassians are accordingly all turned ashore till the Pasha concludes a fresh bargain with the captains to carry them on. This has happened three or four times already, and in some cases the s►teamers have gone away and left the miserable creatures to shift for them selves. Many of the Circassians speak Turkish, and I have had long talks with them. Their descriptions of the hard ships they have suffered arc heartrending. They tell me most of them were turned out of their homes by the Rus sians in the winter (four months ago), and driven down to the sea side, where they waited long for the means of getting away. Hundreds of them died from the cold, and hun- dreds of hundreds of complaints brought on by want and exposure, especially small-pox. They say, We all have had it, or have it now;' and I can answer for the truth of this, for nearly every man, woman, and child I see is marked, and in hundreds the faces and hands are quite raw with it. Since I have been here (three weeks), 300, at the lowest estimate, have been buried in the sands outside the town. They all said they died of cold. We have had much rain, especially by night, and these poor wretches have had to sleep out in it with nothing to cover them but their ordi nary clothes, consisting only (in the case of the women) of a sort of long dressing-gown and a pair of drawers. After one of these nights the dead lie thick on the ground, the others longing, I should think, to follow them. Of coarse the women and children suffer most. To-day I saw a ship load landed and marched out of the town. They were in a dreadful state. I noticed one woman carried by five men; she was a mere skeleton. In her arms she had a baby that could not be more than a few hours old. I saw a max walk ing by a cart with five of his children in it; he was a fine looking fellow, but oh, so thin! and the poor. children the most fearful oljects I ever saw. I shall never forget the sight. Their skins were so tight over the bones that it seemed these must come through, and, in the case of one per little thing, about throe years old, covered with sores; I believe the bones were through the skin. They tell me it is not starvation from hunger that is killing them, but star vation from cold. It has been a very cold spring here, and even now a well clothed man would suffer from sleeping in the open air at night. The Turkish Government does what it can for these miserable people, but that amounts only to bringing them here and giving each person 21b of bread per day." Shocking Tragedy in Liverpool, A frightful tragedy took place in Mansfield-street, Liver pool, at a late hour on Tuesday night, involving the death of two persons and the dangerously wounding of another. At about eleven o'clock . information reached the police office, Dale-street, that a woman living at 3, Johnson-place, Mansfield-street, had attempted to murder her two children, and had afterwards committed suicide. The woman, whose name is Catherine Henderson, was the wife of a dock labourer, and lived apparently in great destitution. About seven months ago, having shown symptoms of insanity, she was takea into the lunatic ward of the West Derby workhouse, where she remained about a fortnight. Since that time, however, she appeared perfectly sane until Sun day last, when she seemed a little unsettled, and used some singular language which induced the husband to ask a Roman Catholic priest to call and see her. The priest did so, and thinking the woman showed symptoms of madness, ad vised the husband to send for the parish doctor. The husband called at the doctor's, and left a message'requesting him to come ; bat it appears that that gentleman never came. The woman, until Tuesday night, appeared in her usual state of mind ; and at an early hour the husband and wife, a child nine months old, named Joseph, and a girl five years old , named Margaret, went to bed together, all lying upon some straw and rags placed upon the floor. After they had been there some time the baby, which was in the husband's arms,became restless,and he gave it to the wife in order that it might get to the breast. Directly he had done so the child gave a sudden cry, and the father seizing it from his wife, discovered that blood was running from the child's throat. He jumped up and shouted out to alarm the other inmates of the house, of which there were several, but, while he was doing so, his wife took the opportunity to seize the other child and cut her throat also. The husband endeavoured to rescue the little girl, and, while he was doing so, the mother completed the triple tragedy by in flicting a wound on her own throat. The whole occurrence did not take more than a minute or two. The wounds were inflicted by a common table knife, very much worn, and, therefore, very sharp. The mother must have secreted the knife about her before she went to bed. As speedily as possible, after the - perpetration of the shocking deed the children were taken to the St, Anne's Dispensary, where they were examined by Dr Rae. The boy was dead, but the wounds of the girl were dressed, and she was then removed to the Royal Infirmary, from whence it is repotted that there is every hope of her re•. covery. After attending to the child Dr Rae proceeded to examine the mother, whom he found to be quite dead. The deceased was about 35 years of ago, and both her husband and herself were Irish. Henderson is said to bear a good character„—Liverpool Fost. EXTRAORDINARY CAUSE OF DEATH.—Yesterday afternoon Mr John Humphreys, the Middlesex coroner, held an inquest at the City of Canterbury Tavern, Well-street, Mile-end New Town, as to the death of James Papworth, aged 47, a ginger beer manufacturer. The de ceased was a man of intemperate habits, and on Monday night about 12 o'clock he returned home tipsy and retired to rest. He called for some water and his daughter-in-law took him up some lemonade in a soda water bottle. She left him, and when she returned shs discovered him insen sible, with the bottle prcjecting out of his mouth. A medi cal man was called, who found the d e ceased dead, and the cause of death was suffocation.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF COMMONS—Last Evening, The SPZAKE R to the chair at 12 o'clock. FALMOUTH DOCKS BILL. This bill Was read a third time and passed. CHANCERY (IRELAND) BILL. The A.TTO lINEY-GENERAL for IRELAND brcught under notice the circumstances connected with the proceed ings of this bill yesterday afternoon, and moved that on Thursday the house resolve itself into a committee of the whole house to consichr the future progress of the bill. Mr. LONGFIELD opposed the proposal on the ground that, when the Chairman was ordered to leave the chair under such circumstances, the order became " dropped." He cited many authorities on the point. Mr BU TT thought it quite in conformiT with usage ,to agree to the propositim of the hon. and learned ,gentlenntn. the Attorney-General for IrclaLd. Mr WHITESIDE said when he addressed the house yes terday his first intention was to move that the chairman re port progress, but one of his hen. friends informed him that the proper mode would be to move that "the chairman do leave the chair,!' which he considered analogous to moving the " previous question," which, if carried, was considered to terminate the matter under discussion. At all evcnts, it was not usual to revive a subject, the debate upon which had been terminated in the carrying of the " previous question." The SPEAKER said a committee had no power to ex tinguish a bill; that authority belonged to the house alone. It would be quits in conformity with precedent, and en tirely in the power of the hcuse, to order the committee to meet again and again to consider the bill. After acme further discussion, the motion of the Attor ney-General for Ireland was agreed to. JOINT-STOCK COMPANIES (VOTING PAPERS) BILL. On the motion for the house going into committee on his bill, Mr E. CRAUFURD moved that the house resolve itself into committee on the bill that day three months, as he had serious objections against the measure. Mr D. GRIFFITH said the objections of the hon. gen tleman could be fully considered in committee. The motion was then withdrawn, and the house accord ingly went into committee on the bill. Mr. CRAWFURD suggested that the bill should simply give the shareholder the power of using the voting paper confided to him at the meeting or afterwards, and moved an amendment to that effect. Mr GRIFFITH could not consent to the amendment. Sir C. O'LOUGHLIN thought the best course to pursue was that the chairman do report progress, and he made that motion accordingly. Mr PEACOCKS said as the house seemed to be rather doubtful as to the question before it, ho therefore moved that the Chairman do leave the chair. After some discussion, the motion for reporting progress was withdrawn; and The committee divided, when there appeared— For the motion .. 76 Against it .. Majority The Chairman accordingly lett the chair, and the house resumed. WEIGHTS AND MEASURES (METRIC SYSTEM) BILL. The house then went into committee on this bill. Mr E WART said an arrangement had been arrived at between himself and his right hon, friend the President of the Board of Trade, whore suggestions he had adopted He therefore hoped that the metric system would be intro duced into this country, where he felt it would give the greatest satisfaction. He then moved the omission of clause 2 for the purpose of introducing another in its place. Mr ROEBUCK doubted whether the bill would give the satisfaction anticipated by the hon. gentleman opposite; he rather thought it would lead to confusion. Mr LOCKE thought that the adoption of the meric system would be of great advantage, as every person would have the opportunity of knowing exactly how much a cer tain measure—such, for instance, as a pottle or seive—con tained, which was now not the case. Mr M. GIBSON said what had been Cone on this sub ject would not interfere with the recognised system of weights and measures; all the preeent act da was to legalise contracts made on the metric system. The clause was awn struck out, and anothEr rec2gnsing the legality of contracts made in the mettle system h-..virg been moved and agreed to, the Chairman reported progress, and the house resumed. BANK OF ENGLAND (SCOTLAND) BILL. On the order for the second reading of this bill, a length ened discussion took place, in which the whole of the Scot tish system of banking was leviewed. The result was that Sir J. Hay, the promoter of the bill, withdrew it. JERSEY COURT BILL. On the order for going into committo on this bill, Mr PAULL, for Mr ROLT, moved as an amendment, that the States of Jersey be heard by their counsel, and to adduce evidence at the bar in opposition. He denied that the people of Jersey desired this bill. The debate was then adjourned. SUPERANNUATION (UNION OFFICERS) BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. PILOTAGE ORDER CONFIRMATION BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. COUNTESS OF ELGIN AND KINCARDINE'S ANNUITY BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. The house adjourned at eight minutes to 6 o'clock. ETHNOLOGICAL SOCIETY, Jane 21.—Mr. J. Craw ford in the chair.—A paper was read on the sup posed infecundity of human hybrids or crosses.—Connect- t d with hybridity a theory has lately sprung up, and chic fly obtained currency in France and America, that supposes the mongrels resulting from the union of two differe n t races of the human family ought to be sterile, as is the case with the progeny of two opposite species of the same genus of lower animals, and one of the advocates goes the length of asserting that the continuation of a race of mulattoes is as impossible as the continuation of a race of mules. The e a u n o t u h s o r f ' l I p a a c p i eesr on a w s h eovhot thee d t t h o e illustrations o t t o . t i h s ef founded n n d s p e d i Professor Busk differed from the author in respect to what he had considered the crucial test—namely, the descendants of the mutineers of the Bounty left on Pitcairn Island in 1793. From the photographs exhibited at the society's rooms last session he thought even in the short interval that had elapsed in this case the descendants had relapsed pretty nearly into the Taheitian condition. Mr. Christy, however, who had visited Mexico and Algeria, saw great reason for concurring with the author as to the fecundity and perma nency of mixed breed races. Sir James Alexander said that when he was engaged in 1835 in the Caffre war they met with a race of native warriors who offered their services to theEnglish so as brothers," and who st a t e d th a t th e i r t r ib e , numbering me " 600, Were descended from the three ladies who were shipwrecked in the Grosvenor, East Indiaman. In 1836 he obtained a Dutch journal giving an account of the transactions of the envoy sent by the Dutch governor to rescue these ladies, but who, being married to native chiefs, refused to return to their own country. Such an increase in 53 yeaas was very remarkable, but was possible, allowing six children to each of these ladies. The second paper was by Mr Christy, on the human and other relics from the Dor dogne caves in Southern France. No part of France appears to be richer in c a ves, which have been inhabited by man, than the ancient province of Perigord. In small caves known as " grotles," 100 feet ab o v e the river, or in the sheltered recesses of overhanging cliffs, have been found the resting places of an early race : The deposits of the caves of the district present accum ulations of broken bon es , pebbles, flint knives, flakes, and the cores from whi c h t h ey have been broken, portions of horns and bones from which various domestic articles have been made, with those rude knives eve n to small, neatly drilled needles. E xamp l es o f these were placed on the table, and excited great attention. More than this, all the deposits examined by M. Lartet and the author have given examples of ornamental work, and three of them of incised drawings and sculptures of various an i ma ls, perfectly recognizable as to species. That these rock-dwellers fared not badly as to food is evidenced by the m any bones of birds and salmon found with those of deer, ox, vnd other animals, mixed with the refuse, and with such evidences of abundant living it is not surprising these ancient people should have found leisure for less necessary work than the chase, and snare time for works of pleasure and rude art. Mr J. Evans, Dr. Falconer, Professor Busk, and the Vice-President took part in the discussion which followed, Dr. Falconer differing from the author's opinion that these inhabitants of the Dordogne country had not ac complished the domestication of any animal. The reindeer, whose remains were found with these relics, you ,d, he thought, have soon been caug ht y oun g , e nd have been kc p; for - useful werepurp alsooses n by m them numerous. s; as also the li t rse , t h e remains fwhich. Mr. Christy o bj ecte d t h at o u e in the rude sculptur e of animals the reindeer were repre sented in herds, and that in none of them was there any thing to indicate a bridled horde. An extra meeting of the society was announced for Tuesday week, lor the of papers on the tribes of C en tral Asia by the readi ng trave traveller Vairment, and on same African skulls by Preen . sor Huxley. In the Court of Queen's Bench, yesterdly, Ser geant Glover moved the posponement of his action against the Duke da Persigny, until after the commission sent out to Mr Chalice Stokes, at Manilla, had returned. ,At e r some discussion the trial was Pe6t1",01104.
