The deficimey of Hotel accommodation in India, China, and other places in the East to which Europeans now resort in large and annually increasing numbers, is a subject of -general compl int ; and it is evident that the development of the means of trans', by ocean and river steamers, and by railways, which has been in rapid progress now for some years, must imperfectly fulfil all is important objects, so far as European intercJurse with the East is cone. rned, until this want is adequately supplied. In England, and on the ur,ntinent of Europe, it is - now an asce - tained fact that th e j o i n t- s t oc k system ma 'most suc cessfully be applied to the establishment Hotels of the first class. If this be so where good pri;ate Hotels before existed in large numbers, there seen:A no reason to doubt that an equal degree of commercia:. success is attainable by the application of captal, upon ;le saw. system, to the same object, in countries where, tt °nal the demand is great and increasing, it may almost - be said that good private Hotels do not exist. In Calcutta a in'.at-stock company has lately purchased and undertaken the management of an Hotel, and the pro spects of the er.iter , rise, as a commercial speculation, may be I ntel red from the very high prem urn at which their shares are quoted . in the Calcutta market see "Times" Ju'y 17, the "EngliP aman'a Weekly Mail" of June 8, 1861, and "Allen's India r,, Mail," viz., £25 paid, present value, .£42i ex div., "Pr...1t0 70 per cent. premium, and the p a y men t of a dividend of 10 per ce n t. for the half-y ear en di ng 20th April last, equal eta 20 per cent. per annum. Bombay offers a wide field for the establishment of an Hotel of a firs' class character. The carly completion of vast lines of railway converging in the island of Bombay, and the more frequent steam communica tion between that pert and Europe which will soon tak.3 place, must very much increase the demand for such accom modation. The same may be said of Madras. It is under these circumstances that the Oriental Hotels Company (Limited) is established, in the confi ent belief that the application of European capital to India in this form will not be less profitable than useful. It is proposed, in thefirst instance, to supply the urgent requirements of Bombay and Point de Galle. There are equally important places which will naturally engage the early attention of the Company, such for example as Madras, Singapore, and Kurrachee ; not to ak of many very imp or t an t ra il way s t a ti ons in Vi l e in_ tersiorpe of India, where there ar e no w no H o t e l s a t all, and where, at a comparatively s m all outlay, th e r e is a, large field to lorotitab e opei ations. The largerclass of the Company's Hotels afford all the conveniences of the best European liotAa, adapted to te climate, and to the habits of those whom they are in tended;n whilst, in even the small'At class, the health and comfort of the inmates will be ea: daily studied.

" Who built that coach ?"• " Who made the har ness ?" &0., I inclose you a list of the members of the Pout in-lland Club, and add a few remarks Upon those "wag goners" who have been most frequently seen " tooling aboui" ly ches p w ri e n r c e ess t o be f w s a e l e e n s drove on looks well, but I regret t o say f ew " come to the scratch, " h i e n g t o r great the park to see them trot past. when anci onten ecoea and the pr n KEATING'S PERSIAN INSECT DESTROY ING POWDER, for which a Prize Medal was awarded to the Producer at the International Exhibition, 1862, This Powder is quite harmless to animal life, but is un rivalled in destroying Fleas, Bugs, Flies, Cockroaches, Beetles, Gnats, Mosquitos, Cloths in furs, and every other species of Insect.

What a facer the " Old Metropolitan. Mail Coach man" who advertised in • Bell that he would be hap py to " instruct noblemen and gentleman," stating that "the melancholy exhibition in Hyde Park prompted the advertisement I" By Jove ! would not they scratch the paint off the old 'un if they could get a chance I Still the "Mail Coachman" is right. In many cases there is, to the eyes of those who have secured the box-seat at the Bull and Mouth, trotted to the Post-office, picked up the bags, seen the glorious sight of the well horsed, well-driven mails starting for all parts of England, something very rotten in the style of handling the ribbons, as seen at the present time Some of the older members are good men. The Duke of Beaufort is at home on his box—knows the whole thing. Thornhill, a light hand, a good eye, a famous nerve, and though his style is not pretty, he is a good coachman. He fiddles his well-bred, nasty tempered scratch team through a crowd cleverly. And can he gallop? Ask Will, Merritt. By-the-by, Merritt is talked of as a good whip. He certainly appears to be the ladies' pet man, and is always to be seen with a bit of muslin on the box-seat. HIS roans are useful horses ; he has them well broke , a nd can get about with them in a crowd ; but he is full of defects. Old Jack Willan would die of laughing if he saw him coming on to the hill at Epsom, wagging his head and jerking his arms about like a gentleman-jockey finishing. However, he is a good friend to coaching, and a pleasant fellow down the road, he is so full of chaff. Colonel Baillie is the sort of fellow I like to sit behind ; he is not one of your modern tea-cart sort. He can pull 'em all into the front boot, if necessary. Lord Londesborough we see constantly on the move, I wish somebody would tell him to sit in a better position, and hold his whip as if he was driving, not fishing for perch ; he looks a good-natured fellow. lam sure he cannot hit hard. You tell him, Baily I tell him his coach is a bad one—too high, his horses too big. The Duke of Sutherland has flash, queer-shaped horses : they do not look like business. His grace is not an unsafe coachman, but looks more like working a Scotch mail than taking the Brighton " Age" out of London. Sir Michael Shaw Stewart has a very good-looking team ; in fact, the whole thing is well turned out ; the horses look to me about as good as any in the park. I should have enjoyed seeing him oftener. I fancy he is idle about "hooking to ;" hi yellow coach and well-bred, powerful horses will bear look ing at. I wonder if he ever sends 'em along I Lord Sefton produces for inspection the prettiest little coach in London ; it looks to me as if it was " made beautiful for ever" each morning before starting ; his horses,both chesnut and brown team, very clever. I wish he had a little more power : a big man on a box looks safer. Can nothing be done for Mr. H. Wombwell ? His horses are certainly very clever ; he seems to handle them very well considering the difficulty of his position. He has certainly climbed on to the foot board, and I hope some day to see him sit on his box ; but he looks like the first turn-out boy' stuck up in a hurry to take the coach down, ' the regular' having been taken sud denly worse. Mr. Morgan is one of the best among the young ones, a neat coachman. Mr. Callender has a well built coach by Baker and a useful team. He drives thorn well considering how short a time he has been on the road; but he would not keep time with bad cattle. Captain Pal mer is no w and then to be seen with a clever team. Lord Edward Thynne looks happy when at work : he know s a little more than you can expect young men of this day ever to learn. There are many good coachmen about who delight in the fun, but do not like to pitch into the young ones. I hope they will not be angry with me for flanking some of the members of the club. Nothing is so pretty as a good coach and clever team ; still it requires a man on. the box at any rate to look like business. I cannot stand a fellow sitting with his legs crossed. Catch up your whip, sit square : that's better. Go home, put four chairs together in your room, hook that idle old. leather arm-chair in "near side lead," unfurl your whip, drop into him until the dust flies. Don't scrape your knuckles on the foot-board, or hold your hands under your chins. All right I Drive on till next summer. Sit right, Baily.—Yours truly, THE GREAT NORTHERN.

The following cases came under his observation after that date. In March and April, 1861, the disease in question broke oat under a epidemic form, and chiefly attacked adults, with such virulence that in one week three young women di e d in a single house. One of Dr, Grand's patients afflicted with blephacite was seized with it, and as he could not immediately attend, Owing to the severity of the case another physician Was cal led in, who ordered emetics and aluminous gargles, which produced no effect. At length Dr. Grand came, and found the tonsils greatly swollen, and a false membrane covaing them. He imme diately administered small pieces of ice, and by the following morning the tumefaction of the tonsils had diminished by half, and the false membrane had nearly disappeared. That very evening she was enabled to take food. A few days after her brother was seized with sore throat, presenting the same preliminary symptoms as those of his sister ; but he, profiting by this example, without waiting for the doctor, took ice, and was rid of his sore throat in a few hours. Some days later Dr. Grand was sum. monad to ayoung lady who had been labouring under the disease for 48 hours; all remedies had failed, and the parents, relations, and friends of the family were plunged in the deepest sorrow. When Dr. De Grand ordered ice a general cry of astonish. meat was uttered by all present. Ice for a sore throat ! Impossible! it was sheer murder Dr. De Grand maintained his ground, and after much ex postulation, during which much time was lost, he obtained his end. Before 24 hours were over the patient was in full convalescence. Being at Vera Cruz on a mission, he was requested to see a young man who was attacked with a malignant sore throat, and had been treated withonr effect by cauterisa tions with hydrochloric acid and astringent gargles. He again had to battle with the prejudices of th e family, but was at le n g th allowed to administer ice.

The number of lives saved by the Life-boats of the Society, ,Ind other means, since Its formation, is 12,800; for which services 82 Gold Medals, 718 Silver Medals, and £16,480 in cash have been paid in rewards. The Institu tion has also expended £67,c00 on Life-boats, Life-boat Transporting-cari 'ages, and Boat-houses. The Committee desire to express their grateful sense of the generous support which they have received from the British public during, the past few years, a support which has enabled them to establish their present magnificent fleet of 123 Lifeboats on the shores of the United Kingdom Deeply sensible, however, of the great responsibility that Ives on them to maintain their fleet in a thoroughly efficient state, and its Crews practised in the management of their boats, which can only be effected by a large and permanent annual income, they earnestly appeal to all classes of their countrymen to aid them in upholding and perpetuating so great and truly national a work.

WORCESTER, BROM YARD, AND LEOMINSTER, An adjourned special meeting of this company was held at Malvern on Thursday, Mr. C.

The CHAIRMAN having stated the object of the meeting, The SOLICITOR read the agreement, which was to the effect that the West Midland or Great Western should work the line for 521 per cent. of the receipts, and the Worcester, Bromyard, and Leominster Company were to receive the remaining 471 per cent. ; the West Midland were to allow a rebate in the event of the receipts of the Worcester, Brom yard, and Leominster lino being insufficient to pay the in terest and other fixed charges. The CHAIRMAN congratulated the company on the satis• factory character of the agreement, and moved its confirma tion. Mr. KING, M.P., seconded the resolution, which was carried, and a vote of thanks to the chairman closed the proceedings. WEST MIDLAND. A special meeting of this company was held at Malvern, on Thursday, Mr. Price in the chair, to consider a working agreement entered into with the Worcester, Bromyard, and Leominster Company. A formal resolution confirming the agreement, was put and carried, and the proceedings terminated. The Representation of Pontefract. (From the Leeds Mercury.) Last night a meeting of the electors of Ponte fract was held at Knottingley, to hear an address from the Liberal candidate, Sir Edmund Head. The candidate was introduced by Mr. John Carter, of Lime-grove, Knottingley, who said they would all agree with him that Mr. Milnes, who had so pro perly been raised to the Peerage, had served them well and truly for a period of 25 years—(bee.r)---- and he hoped he might en j oy f or many years t h e high honour conferred on hi m b y h er M a j esty t h e Queen. (Applause.) He had much pleasure in introducing to them Sir Edmund Head, who for many years had been governor of New Brunswick, in North America, and likewise of . the united provinces of Upper and Lower Canada. He believed that from Sir Ed mund's knowledge of practical questions, he would represent them most ably in Parlia ment, should they be fortunate enough to send him there as their member. (Hear, hear.) Sir EDMUND H. HEAD, who was warmly re ceived, said he had come before them as a stranger, and he felt that in order to secure their support he must explain to them the grounds on which he sought to represent them in Parliament. The state of the case was this :—Mr. Milnes had been elevated to the Upper House. He rejoiced in that elevation, because he felt that Mr. Milnes fully deserved it, and he asked them to send in his place a member who would support that Government by the advice of which Mr. Milnes had received the dignity that had been conferred upon him. (Hear, hear.) The question was on what principles he came before them, and he would say that be came before them on the great principles of civiland religious liberty, which had been maintained, as he understood, by their representatives for a long time, and which, he believed, they were all deeply and heartily attached to. (Hear, hear.) The principles of civil and re ligious liberty were dear to the people of England. (Hear, hear.) Whenever an advance had been made in that direction, by what party had it been made ? He asked them, whenever civil and religious liberty had been promoted, whenever toleration had been extended, whenever the rights of those who did not belong to the Established Church had been advanced, or whenever the rights of those who claimed a lower franchise and wished for additional power in consequence of superior qualification to wield it, had been extended, who fought for them ? The answer was the great Liberal party. (Hear, hear.) And who opposed the granting of those rights as a general rule ? He did not wish to attack any party, but he would say that those rights had been fought for by the Liberal party, and opposed by the other. (Hear, hear.) That was the great distinction in the two parties. They might find every day questions arising in which the two parties differed very little one from the other. There were not many ques tions now which formed a test, but that was because the Liberal party had fought out the questions, and the others had been obliged to give them up. (Hear.) That was the reason there was so little difference, because the other side had been forced to adopt the results fought for by the Liberals. (Hear, hear.) There was, however, a teal distinction be• tween the parties. When they wanted to know what a man would do hereafter, they ought to look at what he had done before. (Hear, and applause.) He asked for the support of the electors as one be longing to the Liberal party, as one who would support that Government which had conferred an honour on their late representative, and he looked to those who had recognised the merit of their present representative (Mr. Childers) to return one who en tertained the same principles and who was ready to abide by them. (Applause.) With regard to do mestic questions, he should always lean to that side which he believed to be in favour of free govern ment and of increasing the rights of those who were fit to use them ; of extending religious liberty, and of allowing every one the right of exercising his own opinion. (Hear, and applause.) In that con sisted the true principle of the party with which he would, if returned, identify himself in Parliament. (Hear.) He thought, as a whole, the present Go vernment deserved the confidence of the people. (Hear.) He did not say all the measures that had been adopted by them met with his approbation, but he thought the general current and tenor of their measures were towards those principles of libe rality which he had been attempting to de scribe. (Hear. hear.) He thought, in another matter of paramount importance to the people of England, of paramount importance to the industrial classes, the present Government had done their duty, and that was in keeping the country in a state of perfect peace. Government had so admini stered the foreign affairs of this country as to keep out of war as much as possible. He looked upon war as the greatest curse that could happen to the human race, the greatest evil that could occur to this or any other nation. (Hear.) He was not prepared to sub mit to insult from any nation—(hear, hear)—nor was he prepared to support any Government that submitted or truckled to any nation ; but there was a wide distinction between that and going readily to work and involving the country in endless expense, and perhaps on account of a people with whom we had nothing whatever to d o . W h i le we h a d ever y sympathy with foreign nations who made efforts on behalf of their own independence—while he rejoiced that Lord Palmerston had thrown the moral weight of England in the scale in favour of Italy—(hear),— while he saw the noble effbrts put forth by the Poles to free themselves from Russian oppression, yet he trusted nothing would be done by the English Go vernment that would stir up a war with those coun tries. (Hear.) He did not wish to see the taxes, which were already heavy enough, increased in con sequence of a war on behalf of a foreign people. His policy, therefore, was for non-interference, except so far as expression of opinion was concerned, for those who were tyranised over, because the work of libera tion from tyranny must be performed by the people themselves. (Hear, hear.) It was not for foreign nations to spend their money and waste their blood is trying to put right what, after all, they might leave in a worse state than when they began. (Hear.) He believed the present Govern ment deserved the support of the people, and for that reason he was prepared to give it his support. (Applause.) He would not say that he would sup port that Government through thick and thin. He should exercise his own judgment. (Hear.) He knew that in this country no Government could be carried on except by the machinery of party, and therefore it was necessary sometimes to support the Government, oven when there might be a question upon the policy of the measure itself, simply on the ground that if that Govern ment were turned out they would get one that was worse, and have imposed upon them matters that were worse than those they felt it to be their policy to support. (Hear.) All that was perfectly con sistent with the exercise of proper and discreet judgment on questions which arose from day to day, and that judgment, if elected, he should always endeavour to exercise in a manner most consistent with right and most iu accordance with the feel ings of his constituents. (Hear, hear.) There were certain questions which afft eted all parts of the country, and some of those questions did not admit of being solved satisfactorily to overybotiv. He knew very well that some in that neighbourhood had had rrason to ne disconj tented with the operations and changes in the nae vigation laws. He was quite awake to the import ance of the British interests in the coasting trade—. (hear, hear)—alive to all that depended upon their commerce, and upon the trade that took place from ORO port to another within our own seas. He could not at that moment pretend to tell them how far it was possible to right the grievances which existed under the present. order of things, but he should be happy to receive from any of them such informa tion on any of these grievances as thel, might be disposed to give—(hear)—and if returned he would do his best to set those grievances right, or to bring them under the notice of those in authority. (Hear.) He entered upon that contest trusting, he hoped not in vain, to the sympathies of the Liberal party. The question before them was a per fectly simple one, It was this,—Would they send to the House of Commons a member who represented the principles of that party which was supported by their present member, and which was supported by Mr. Milnes ; or would they send a member to the House of Commons whose vote would neutralise the vote of the other member, and render the voice of Pontefract as, in cffect,goad for nothing ? (Hear.) If they sent one man connected with one party, and another connected with the other party, it came to pretty much the same thing as if they did not send any anybody. (Hear.) If they did not want to do that, they must take a Liberal candidate, and if they did not think him fit he hoped they would get another, and it would give him very great pleasure to see him elected. (Cheers.) Sir Edmund said he was ready to answer any ques tions which might be put to him, but none being asked. Mr. MOORHOUSE expressed his confidence that Sir Edmund's principles were in unison with those of the majority of the electors, and stated that it would be ungrateful in them to weaken, even by a single member, that Government which had con ferred so distinguished an honour on their late respected member, Mr. Monckton Milnes. (Cheers.) Naval and Military Intelligence. THE NAVY. The Lords Commissioners of the Ad&ralty, ac companied by the officials of the department of the Controller of the Navy and engineering work, paid their annual official visit of inspection to Sheerness dockyard yesterday. They arrived at the dock yard about half-past 11 a.m., in her Majesty's yacht Enchantress, Master-Commander John E. Petley. The party consisted of his Grace the Duke of Somerset, K.G., First Lord ; Vice-Admiral the Hon. Sir W. F. Grey, K.C.8., Rear-Admiral C. Eden, C. 8., Capt. the Hon. J. R. Drummond, C. 8., and Mr. J. Stansfeld, M.P., Junior Lords ; Rear- Admiral the Right Hon. Lord Clarence Paget, C. 8., M.P., First Secretary ; Rear-Admiral R. S. Robin son, Controller of the Navy ; Col. G. 'l'. Greene, Director of Admiralty Engineering Works ; Mr. E. T. Reed, Chief Constructor of the Navy ; Capt. R. Hall, private secretary to the Duke of Somerset; Sir R. Mayne, and other officials. Their lordships on landing were met by Vice-Admiral Sir George R. Lambert, K.C.8., Commander-in-Chief at the Nore ; Capt. Charles Wise, A.D.C., superin tendent of the yard; Capt. W. K. Hall, C. 8., of her Majesty's ship Cumberland, guardship of the Sheer ness steam reserve; Capt. J. Fulford, of her Ma jesty's ship Formidable, flagship ; Col. W. R. Ned ham, R.A., Garrison Commandant ; Lieut.-Colonel Talbot, R.A., commanding First Depot Brigade Royal Artillery; Col. S. Freeth, R.E., commanding Royal Engineers, and the head officials of the seve ral departments connected with the yard. Their lordships visited first the Capt.-Superintendent's office, where they were engaged for some time in the transaction of official business. They pro ceeded afterwards to the naval barracks, which were thoroughly inspected. The screw steam frigate Arethusa, 35, recently brought forward in this yard for the first division of the steam reserve, was next inspected, and the serviceable appear ance of the vessel called forth their Lordships' warm commendation. Passing onwards to the east mast-house, a large number of boilers lying in front of the factory department attracted their notice, and were duly examined, after which they visited successively the mast-houses, boiler shop, coal store, the new well now being constructed by Mr. T. Tilley, contractor, of Ealing, and the vessels Terrible, 21, paddle-wheel frigate, 1,850 tons, 500 horse power, and the Scylla, 21, screw steam corvette, 1,467 tons, 400 -horse power. Their Lordships and suite were then escorted to the official residence of the Capt.- Superintendent, where they partook of luncheon. They afterwards inspected the new slaughterhouses erected by order of the Lordships for the supply of beef to the navy. Returning thence to the dockyard, a large model of the yard as ex hibited and explained to them. The inspection con cluded with a visit to the Conqueror (late Waterloo) 78, screw steam line-of-battle ship, 2,845 tons, 500 horse power, lying in the harbour. Their lordships dined at the Admiralty-house with the Commander in•Chief, and left Sheerness in the Enchantress at 11 o'clock p.m. for Chatham. Her Majesty's iron steam storeship Industry, Master-Commander Edward C. T. Youel, was yes terday undocked at Woolwich, after being surveyed and repaired. On being hauled into the river by the steam tug Bustler, both her tow••ropes parted, and the tide making slowly up at the time, she drifted foul of the flagship Fisgard, and also carried away the figurehead of the steamer Kite lying at her moorings, and recently brought home from Bermuda, condemned. Having sustained some slight injury, she will be detained for a few days for re pairs, after which she will proceed to Deptford to ship victualling stores for Ascension. The Dauntless, Capt. Dickson, left her moorings in the Southampton Water on the 25th ult., for a cruise, to exorcise night and general quarters. She made her number off Portland, and on Thursday night returned to her berth off Netley Point. Mr. Tucker and Mr. Leffey, principal foremen of shipwrights in Woolwich dockyard, under special sanction of the Board of Admiralty, have entered into the service of the Turkish Government for the term of three years, and will leave Woolwich this morning, the former for Glasgow and the latter for the Thames Ironworks, to superintend the construc tion of four iron-cased ships of war of heavy burden, which are already commenced. The following appointments were made on Thurs day at the Admiralty ;—Lieut. Albert P. Still and Ueut. James A. Boxer to the Marlborough ; Mal colm M‘Neile, midshipman, to the Marlborough; Alex. M. Gardiner, midshipman, to the Phoebe ; John P. Ripon, naval cadet, to the Phoebe ; Victor A. Bradshaw, Richard W. Fawkes, and Edward J. Fellowes, naval cadets, to the Meeanee ; Claude H. S. Buckle, Fred. T. Deane, and Cecil Wright, naval cadets, to the Marlborough ; GE o. P. W. Freeman, naval cadet, to the Revenge ; Samuel B. Kemble, naval cadet, to the Orlando; Wm.

Bissaker, Robert Ditchburn, John Barr, George Murray, Thomas Scott (B), Josh. Hughes, T. S. Blyth, F. M. C. Richards, and Thomas J. Richards, assistant engineers, to the Marlborough, as super numeraries for disposal. THE ARMY. A detachment of Royal Artillery, consisting of draughts from the A, B, and C batteries of the depot brigade, were yesterday par aded at Wool wich, and inspected by General Sir B. Dacres, com manding the garrison. The detachment consisted of Captain Oldfield, Captain Bazalgette, Lieutenants O'Connor, Smythe, Richmond and Bradnell, five ser geants, three farriers, and 247 rank andve fil se e.

It is expected that the extension line of this company from Truro to Falmouth will be opened in about a month. An engine traversed the whole length of the line for the first time on Thursday. Great preparations are being made at Falmouth to celebrate the opening. The subscriptions for that purpose now exceed 4300. COMMERCIAL DOCK. Yesterday a special meeting of this company was held at the offices in Fenchnrch-street, Mr. A. Sims in the chair. After considerable discussion, in which Messrs. E. Wilson, Hankey, Carter, and others took part, an agreement entered into with the Grand Surrey Dock Company for the amalga mation of the two companies was unanimously approved. Under the provisions of the agreement every holder of ordi nary stock in the Commercial Dock Company is to be en titled to the same amount of stock in the amalgamated com pany, and every holder of £lOO in the Grand Surrey Docks to £ll7 108. in the amalgamated company. It was stated that the aggregate capital of the Commercial Company was £558,000, and of the Grand Surrey £653,000, and that the amalgamated undertaking would be the Surrey Commercial Dock Company. COMETS !—Sir John Herschell, in Good Words for August, says—The number of comets Whose periodical return has been calculated is pretty considerable, altogether about thirty-six, and of these there are five which revolve in periods of from seventy to eighty years, and several of the rest in short periods from three to seven years. And it is a vary remarkable feature in their history that all, the comets of short periods, and three out. of the five of those of the Longer ones specified, revolve in the same direr . tion round the sun as the planets, and have their orbits in clined at no very large angles to the ecliptic.

THE POLISH QUESTION. The following is the text of the article in the Neue Preusszsche (Krenz) Zeitung which has at tracted attention as indicating a wish on the part of Prussia to abandon the Russian alliance, and seek that of the Western Powers and Austria : If it be desired to appreciate justly the actual phase of the Polish question, one must remember first of all the situation in which Russia found herself when the insurrection broke out. Then it might be believed that the Polish movement would be accompanied and supported by great internal trou bles in Russia. But this hope, which was shared, perhaps, by some of the brave people on the banks of the Thames, has been completely falsified, and, on the contrary, the Russian Government finds in the enthusiasm of the people a basis of action as well as the obligation of repelling the desire of the Western Powers. In this is the explanation of the inconsistency of the English Cabinet, which has never desired war, but which hoped to arrive at the same end by simple threats. Besides England more than ever is interested in reference to the American crisis in carefully regulating its relations with Russia, and would be the first to suffer from the blockade of Russian ports, In addition to that England is too practical to back up France, which, as has been said, would wish to break the peace of Europe, in appearance for Poland, but in reality with very different objects in view. The old Lord Firebrand would also appear to know very well that, ac cording to his own expression, Austria is less disposed than ever to throw a spark among the combustible elements in Europe. The more the situation turns in our favour by force of circumstances, the more we consider it as an urgent task of Prussian policy to seek in this direction a greater associa tion and an understanding with Austria. and particularly with England. Russia alone is not for us an ally altogether sufficient, or altogether to be depended on. If we persist much longer in the reserve now maintained our position will be more and more compromised and deprived of influence, so much the more as the final object of some politicians would very well:extend to the isolation of Prussia in Europe and in Germany, and placing it in a situation like that in which Austria found herself at the time of the Italian war. Generally it would be well to bring the case of the king dom of Italy to the recollection not only of Russia, but of Italy itself. The consequences which France seeks actually to draw from Poland in respect to Russia would not be spared to others in other directions. Is the actual repre sentative of Prussia at London fit for the exigencies of the situation I The Archaeological Institute of Great Bri- tain and Ireland. The sections of Architecture and Early and Mediaeval Antiquities resumed their sittings in the Guidhall, Roches ter, yesterday morning, when the chair was occupied by the Marquis Camden, K.C. Notwithstanding that the Institute has been engaged in its sittings at Rochester the entire week, the proceedings appear to increase in. interest, and yesterday, the fourth day of the congress, witnessed the largest at tendance of any day since the Institute has assembled for its annual meeting. Among the noblemen and gentry pre sent yesterday were Earl Amherst, the Bishop of Oxford, the Bishop of Gibraltar, Lord Talbot de Malahide, Lord Neaves, Professor Stanley, the Earl of Darnley, the Dean of Peterborough, the Provost of Oriel, the Rev. Dr. Griffith, Mr. D. Wilson (Toronto), Mr. Gilbert Scott, Sir R. Kirby, Sir Sibbald Scott, Col. Pinney, M.P., Sir John Boileau, Mr. W. W. E. Wynn, M.P., and Sir S. Glyn, Bart- A French savant, in the person of Mr. A. Maury, specially deputed by the Emperor of the French to attend the con gress, was also present, his Majesty having directed that distinguished archaeologist to attend the meetings of the Institute for the purpose of hearing the paper by Dr. Guest, Master of Gonville and Caius College, on "The landing of Julius Caesar in England." The paper, however, was read on Wednesday, before the arrival of M. Maury, At th e sitting of the section yesterday the first paper was read by the Very Rev. Dr. Hook, F.A.S., Dean of Chichester, on IThe Life and Times of Gundulph, Bishop of:Rochester." In an exceedingly interesting paper, Dr. Hook traced with remarkable fullness the history of this prelate and his con.. nexion with Rochester, the see of which he held from 1077 till 1107, a portion of which period he was de facto Arch bishop of Canterbury, after the death of his friend and patron Lanfranc. Gundulph, however, is principally known as the builder of the White Tower of London, the Castle at Roches ter, and Mailing Abbey. The theory of his having built Rochester Cathedral is now abandoned by archaeologists, Dr. Hook being of opinion that he only erected a very small portion of that edifice—namely, the crypt—while there are no reliable grounds for deeming him the builder of Roches ter Castle. This remarkable prelate, more, perhaps, than any other individual if the time, stamped his character on the age in whioh he lived. At the close of the paper, the Bishop of Oxford proposed a vote of thanks to the Rev. Dr. Hook, many of the incidents in whose life his Lordship gracefully compared with those in the life of Gundulph. The next paper was read by Mr. J. H. Parker, F.S.A., on " Gundulph considered as an Architect." This was to have been followed by a paper by the Rev. W. Stubbs, M.A., on " The Early History of the See of Rochester, mote particu larly in its relations to that of Canterbury," but in the ab sence of Mr. Stubbs a paper was road by Mr. W. H. Black, F.S.A., on the remarkable manuscript work known as the Textus Roffensis," which is still preserved in the Cathedral library at Rochester, a manuscript well known to the lite rary world. Mr. Black's paper exhibited considerable re search into the history of the work, the authorship of which has given rise to a considerable amount of conjecture, many contending that it was the work of Ernnlph, who died in 1124, while others deem that Bishop Aecelin was it s author. Mr. Black, however, is disposed to give i ts authorship to Humphrey. precentor of the Cath edral, who lived in the 12th century, and who was the author of several documents now preserved in the British Museum. The remaining paper was that by Professor Willis, on " The Architectural History of ter Cathedral and Conventual Building'o looked ." This was a most valuable contribution to the Institute, and was for ward to with sonic considerable amounrteodfihnitsereasdtd, address' Guildhall in which Professor Willis_edsesioirve Willis entirely being exceedingly crowded. f erected the Ca. ignores the claim of Gundulph tPor°having beyond dispute that it thedral, the building itself proving was erected by different individuals at aetdrdaliffewreanstfpoermrioedrlsy.

He was inclined to be lieve that the early English portion of the Cathedral was built by William de Hoo, and that the choir was erected out of the offerings at the shrine of St. William, who was mtu dered by his servant when on. a pilgrimage to the Holy Rochester Land, being afterwards interr e d i n Cathedral, and subsequently canonised by the Pope. Two bishops, St. Paulinus, who came with St. Augustine stito England, and o Ithamar, the first En g li s h Bi shop Rochester, who died in 655, were also buried in the Cathedral thus showing the antiquity of the b u ildi ng to be very rer l aote In the after noon Professor Willi s conducted a party' of between 200 and 300 of the nobility and gentry over the Cathedral, when he lucidly explained the various styles of architecture which composed the buildi ng, and pointed out the internal evidence which it contained of having been erected at different periods. The party were also conducted into the crypt, where are still to be seen some portions of the old Saxon edifice, as well as the yart of the building attributed to Guudulph. The other points of chief interest visited were the fine choir, the magnificent chapter-room, St. William's shrine, St. Edward's Chapel, the tomb of Bishop Merton, the founder of Merton College, Oxford, and other portions of the edifice, together with all the remains standing of the adjoining cloisters and conventual establishments. Professor Willis was occupied nearly two hours in conducting the visitors through the Cathedral, every portion of which calling for any remark was lucidly explained. The meeting of the' sections was to be resumed at half-past 8 last evening, when papers would be ready by Mr. R. Morris on " The Dialect of Kent in Early.
