A HORRIBLE REMEDY —To DESTROY THE NERVE OF A TOOTH.—A writer in the Queen recommends that the nerve be burnt out by the introduction of a red hot knitting -needle into the hole in the decayed tooth. The pain is described es being for a moment intense; but, it is added, the offending tooth never aches after. John Beckett, the relieving officer to the West London Union, was fined 40s. by Alderman Copeland, for refusing 21b. of beef and some oatmeal to an old man, aged 67, after the parish doctor had ordered him to receive the same. Beckett made some impertinent remarks to the alderman, but a threat of imprisonment for contempt silenced him. --- TAE GREAT INTERNATIONAL AGRICULTURAL XIIIBITION AT HAMBURG.

We have reason to believe that the statements in question are altogether inexact. The issue between the Porte and the company is one with Which, as yet, neither the British nor the French Govern ment has any technical right to meddle; and although M. brouyn de Lhuys has, as we recently mentioned, already co mmunicated to Aali Pacha his view of the difficulty created, or rather indicated, by his highness's despatch, t he question remains exactly where that circular placed it --between the Porte and the Viceroy on the one part, and be tween both of these and the Canal Company on the other. It is obvious, therefore, that its settlement must in the first instanee proceed rather from Stamboul than from either London or Paris. 411. E SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVEINTSti„ .__ JULY 4, 1...'363, LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day, COURT OF DIVORCE (Before the Judge-Ordinary.) BREMNER V. EREMNER AND ERETT--A GRETNA-GREEN MARRIAGE. Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., and Dr. Spinks appeared for the petitioner; Mr. Karslake, Q.C., and Mr. Harrison for the respondent, and Sergeant Ballantine for the co-respondent. This was a suit instituted by Mr. Samuel Bremner, a commercial traveller, and the manager of the business of a printing material manufacturer, for a divorce, on the ground of his wife's adultery with the co-respondent, who is em ployed as a warehouseman at an establishment in Cheap side. The respondent pleaded denial, cruelty, and recriminated the adultery ; the co-respondent pleaded merely denial. It appeared that the parties were married at Gretna Green, in Nov., 1849, and there were two children, the issue of the marriage, one of whom was living. In 1860, the peti tioner became acquainted with the co-respondent at the house of a mutual friend, and he (co-respondent) and his wife took apartments in the house, Holford-square, Isling ton. The business of the petitioner necessitated his fre quent absence from town of which, according to his allega tion, the co-respondent availed himself to seduce the re spondent. Mary Linton, the wife, and Agnes Carmichael, the daughter of John Linton, deceased, who officiated as the hymenial blacksmith at Gretna Green, proved to having witnessed the marriage ceremony, and believed the parties signed the certificate which was produced and identified. Mr. Anderson, Q.C., a member of the English bar, and an advocate of the Scottish bar, was examined, he said that the evidence adduced, and the certificate were quite suffi• cient to establish the validity of a marriage in Scotland, at the period when the ceremony had been performed between the parties, provided the court was satisfied that the con sent of both of them had been obtained. Mr. Karslake—Does age of the parties make any diffe rence? Mr. Anderson—No ; not if the man is only 14, and the woman 12. (Laughter.) Mary Scott, a married woman, who had been in the ser vice of Mr. and Mrs. Bremner for six years when they lived at Carlisle, Newcastle, and in London, deposed to acts of familiarity between the respondent and co-respondent during the petitioner's absence. Lucy Hartley, a female domestic formerly in the ser vice of Mr. and Mrs. Bremner, said she recollected Mr. Brett visiting the house while Mr. Bremner was absent in the country: He first stayed to supper, but in a short time he remained after she (witness) had retired to bed. At this time she slept in her mistress's room, but in a few evenings after her mistress told her she could sleep in her own bedroom. She did so, and after that on one occasion her mistress came into her room after she (witness) had got into bed, and she then heard her say to Mr. Brett that she was asleep. When she got up the next morning Mr. Brett's bed did not appear to have been disturbed. After this Mr. Brett's bedroom frequently remained unused, although he used to go out of the house of a morning before breakfast. Mr. Brett used not to come so often after Mr. Bremner returned home. On one occasion she recollected Mrs. Bremner taking Mr. Brett's breakfast to him while he was in bed. She had seen Mr. Brett kiss Mrs. Bremner. She left Mrs. Bremner's service for a short time, but returned to it again. Mr. Brett always visited Mrs. Bremner when her husband went his journeys. Mr. Brett told her he should have to write letters to Mrs. Bremner, but as the matter was secret he should direct the letters to her (witness). He did so, and she on one occasion kept back one of these notes, That just put into her hand was the one, Cross-examined —She never said that rather than see her mistress, Mrs. Bremner, ill-treated as she was, she would go and live with her elsewhere without wages. Mr, Brem ner used to remain out very late at night. (The case was proceeding when we went to press.) SHERIFF'S COURT. (Before Mr. Kerr and a Jury,) THE JUDGE AND THE SUITORS-A 000 D EXAMPLE. To-day his Honour was engaged in trying short jury causes in cases he had refused to decide personally, because the parties flatly contradicted each other on oath. In the first case, Furnival v. Bates, the plaintiff sued for £l5, and Mr. Buchanan called witnesses to prove that plaintiff had promised defendant to forgive him the rent if he would go out. To answer this plaintiff produced four or five persons, who deposed that such a promise was never made, and that plaintiff had offered to take the debt at sixpence per week. The verdict passed for defendant, but without costs. In the second case, De-roy v. Brough, the defendant pleaded payment, and Mr. E. C. Whitehurst, for plaintiff, said the debt never had been paid, and he put defendant to the proof. Mr. Sorrell, of Mark-lane, for defendant, said that his client had an idea that be had paid this money, and the amount was so small that defendant, who was a respectable wino merchant, could have no motive in disputing it, except that he believed he had paid it. Plaintiff was called, and he deposed that he had never received the money. Mr. Sorrell—You mean to swear that my client has no, paid you ? Plaintiff—l do. Defendant positively believed that he had paid, but could not say when, where, or how. (Laughter.) The jury found for plaintiff. Verdict for plaintiff with costs. In a third case there was some hard swearing by suitors in court and his Honour empannelled a jury forthwith, stating that the courts in Ireland had laid down that a judge had the power he now assumed. He had never done so before, but felt compelled to do so now. The action was about cattle food, Mr. Buchanan appear• ing for the plaintiff, and Mr. Whitehurat for defendant, the verdict passing for defendant. POLICE INTELLIGENCE —This Day. WESTMINSTER. CHARGE OF UTTERING A COUNTERFEIT SHILLING.— Rose Shadman, a female of decent appearance, was charged with attempting to utter a counterfeit shilling at the Blue Anchor, York-street, Westminster. The evidence showed that on the previous afternoon the prisoner went into the house and asked for some gin, for which she tendered a shilling. Upon the barman taking it up, he found it to be a counterfeit. The barman sent for a policeman and gave her into custody. The magistrate asked if the prisoner was known ? A police-constable of the F division stated that she had been in custody on former occasions upon a similar charge. The prisoner was then remanded for the attendance of the solicitor of the Mint. ROBBINQ FELLOW LODGERS.—John Bevan, a young man, residing at No. 17, Bridge-row, Pimlico, was charged with stealing a quantity of wearing ap parel under the following circumstances :—lt appeared that on Friday (yesterday) week the prisoner was seen to leave his apartment, carrying with him a heavy bundle. He was seen by one of the lodgers, who said to him that he sup posed he was going to leave the house, to which he made no reply. Shortly after he was gone some persons in the house missed a quantity of wearing apparel, and it was ascertained that a portion of the property had been pledged by a person supposed to be the prisoner. who in the course of Thursday last was given into custody. The prisoner, who said he took the things as he was in difficult circumstances, was remanded. ARRIVAL OF THE GREAT BRITAIN. LIVERPOOL, Friday. The Great Britain arrived this morning with advices from Melbourne to the 3d of May. She has 63,000 ounces of gnld on freight. The setting in of colder weather had given an impetus to the markets, and transactions have been more active. Large parcels of soft goods were in course of being despatched to the inland townships. Teas had been in demand, and prices had been more than main• tamed. Flour had scarcely been named, but all parcels of wheat offering had met with ready buyers. There had been some inquiry for malt. The rice market has been dull end inanimate during the week, several consignments having come in. There was a steady but moderate demand for spirits, beer, and tobacco.

Turnbull, Eat- The late William Barclay Turnbull, Esq., bar rister-at-law, whose death happened a few days since [it should have been said rather, several weeks] at his residence in London, at the age of 52, was a gentleman whose name came somewhat pro minently before the public in connection with a literary and religious controversy a year or two since, in a not very enviable way. According to " Men of the Time," Mr. Turnbull was a son of tlYe late Walter Turnbull, Esq., of Edinburgh, in which city he was born early in the year 1811. Having received his early education in Edinburgh, he was called to the Scottish bar in 1832, and was subse quently called to the English bar by the Hon. So ciety of Lincoln's-ien, in Jan. 1856. In 1833 Mr. Turnbull took an active part in the foundation of the Abbotsford Club, and acted as its secretary from that date until 1841, being at the same time an extensive contributor to its historical publications. He was engaged in 1859 to edit the "Book of Scottish Chronicles" for the Master of the Rolls, who subsequently appointed him to the office of calendaring foreign state papers between the accession of Edward VI. and the Revolution of 1688, his work being to make abstracts of every document and to arrange and index the whole. His first volume was published in Jan. 1861, and owing to an outcry raised against him es a Roman Catholic by the Athenceum newspaper, the ",Pro testant Alliance" and the c" Scottish Reformation Society," he resigned this appointment, a step which became the subject of a debate in Parliament, He subsequently brought an action against the secretary of the Protestant Alliance for libel, when the jury found for the defendant. It is only fair, however, to add that subsequent inquiries have satisfactorily proved the hcnesty and integrity of Mr. Turnbull in the responsible post which he filled; and it is to be feared that his death was hastened by his acute sense of the unfairness with which his conduct had been judged. Mr. Turnbull was also known as the author of " Legendze Catholicw," " The State of the Parochial Registers of Scot land," and also as the editor of " The Life and Poems of Robert Southweli." Mr. Turnbull, who was an active honorary member of many foreign and domestic literary societies, was appointed by the French Minister of Public Instruction in 1860, Cor • respondent, du Comite Imperial des Travauvx. His toriques et des Soci6tes Savants da France. Pre viously to residing in England he acted for many years as secretary to the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland. His death will be extensively regretted among a largle circle of attached literary and legal friends.--From the Law Times of to day.T , [With every word oft his somewhat delayed tribute of respect to the memory of the late lamented ex- Calendarer, Mr. Turnbull, formerly of Edinburgh, latterly of London, we are desirous of expressing here our very cordial agreement. Although our personal acquaintance with the deceased was, to our regret now, be it said, but slight and casual, it was at any rate sufficient to secure to him in our own regard a very sincere respect for his character both as a scholar and a gentleman.—ED. Sun.] Naval and Military Intelligence. THE NAVY. By vzason of the difficulty of p rocur i ng t i mber about th ree y ear s ago for s hi p b u i lding purposes, Mr. Lasiett, timber inspector of Woolwich dock yard, was commissioned by the Board of Admiralty to proceed to the East, and the various parts of the Continent where timber was likely to be procured, eud to purchase largely at any cost. Since that time ship loads of every description used in ship building, namely, vast quantities of mahogany, teak, ash, fir, pine, elm, as well as the finest stock of English oak ever collected, have been con stantly arriving at Woolwich, and the dockyard is encumbered in every available spot. No less than 20,000 loads, valued at £200,000, have been stacked, and are now without the chance of being put into requisition. No blame is attached to any branch of the establishment, as it was impossible to foresee the change in the system of shipbuilding now to be adopted by the substitution of iron for wood.

The subjoined general order has been promul gated from the Horse Guards by Adjt.-Gen. Sir James Yorke Scarlett, K.C.8., in reference to ex changes :—" His Royal Highness the Field-Mar shal Commanding•-in-Chief is pleased, with the con currence of the Right Hon. the Secretary of State for India in Council, to announce that exchanges will be permitted between officers who have entered the new line regiments from the general lists or from the cadres of European regiments of the In dian army, and officers of cavalry and infantry re spectively of corresponding rank, now of the Indian army, without reference to the Presidency to which they may belong. Officers of the new line regiments of the claeses above described, wishing to revert to their former positions in the Indian service, will submit their applications to the Adjutants-General of their respective Presidencies on or before the 12th of October, 1863, after which date no application will be received and no exchange will be permitted. These applications, if supported by the Commander in-Chief in India, will be entertained according to , seniority and to the numbers and rank of officers of the Indian army desirous of joining the new line regiments, whose names may be received from the Secretary of State for India. Officers of the new line regiments permitted to exchange under this order, will revert to the positions which their names still occupy in the lists of the Indian army. Officers of tha Indian army will enter the new line regi ments under this order, as the junior of their grades in each case.—By command, &c." The examination of candidates for admission to the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, before Major- Gen. F. W. Hamilton, C,8., Vice President, and the other members of th 9 Council of Military Edu• cation, commenced on Thursday last at the Royal Hospital, Chelsea, as usual with the medi cal examination. The examinations will extend over 15 days. There are upwards of 140 candidates on this occasion. A notification has been received at Chatham gar rison that the following troops will be despatched to Calcutta during the present season—viz. 1,000 officers and men of the 2d battalion of the 20th Re giment, to embark at Portsmouth, 1,000 officers and men of the 36th Regiment, to embark at Cork, and 620 officers and men of the sth Royal Irish Lancers, to embark at Portsmouth. Orders have also been is sued at the Horse Guards for the following reinforce. ments of the Royal Artillery to be held in readi ness to embark for India with the drafts about to be despatched during the present season—viz., For Calcutta—Three non-commissioned officers and 105 bombardiers, gunners, and drivers, for the various horse brigades ; 5 captains, 7 subalterns, 11 non commissioned officers, 11 bombardiers, and gunners, 200 drivers, and 35 smiths, wheelers, and trum peters, for field and garrison brigades. For Bom bay-15 officers for field and garrison brigades, and 55 non-commisioned officers, drivers, gunners, and bombardiers for horse brigades and for Madras. One lieutenant-colonel, and 51 men of all grades, for horse brigades ; and 3 captains, 9 subalterns, and 98 non-commissioned cfficers and men for field and garrison brigades. The total 'force of Royal Artillery about to be despatched to India to supply the vacancies in that arm of the service is upwards of 600 officers and men of all ranks. The first annual meeting of the board of managers, committee, and members of the Soldiers' Institute, formed at Chatham garrison, was hold on Thursday evening, under the presidency of Major Gen. Eyre, commanding the district. The annual report stated that the Institute, which had been opened exactly 12 months, had proved a most complete success. After the payment of all expenses in the refreshment and every department there was a clear balance profit of £99 lls. 6d. to March 31 last, and the profit for the whole year was £124, showing that a sum of no less than £l,OOO had been paid into the institute by the troops during the past year. The bazaar held last year under the patronage of the Duchess of Cambridge and other ladies of distinction realised a clear profit of £370. There is still a debt of about £4BO owing on the building, which the committee are desirous of liquidating at once, and therefore they earnestly appeal for assistance to enable them to do so. The cash account showed that the sum of £5,119 had been received in donations, including grants from the War Department and Admiralty, the whole of which had been expended in building, furnishing, and fitting up the building, The meet ing was addressed by the Rev. Dr. Griffiths, canon of Rochester, Col. Newdigate, and Capt. Fanshawe, Superintendent of Chatham Dockyard. A further reduction of the artisans and labourers of Woolwich Arsenal is ordered to take place to-day, notices having been given to that effect ; 200 men will be discharged from the Royal gun factories, thereby reducing that branch of the establishment (a short time ago numbering 3,500 men) to 800. The laboratory department is likewise ordered to be re duced, and a number of wheelers and tin workers in the royal carriage department have received notices of dismissal, some of whom have been in the em ployment about 20 years. For several months past the departments have been engaged solely in executing outstanding orders for the coast defences, some of which have been on the order-books about eight years, the whole of which are now completed, and the establishment is literally at a stand-still. The only work now being executed in the royal gun factories consists of repairs, the completion of 300-pounder coast defence guns, and the adjustment of some guns on Mr. Broadwell's principle, on a peculiar system of breech loading, for experimental purposes commenced recently at Wool wich with success. CONVICTION FOR MURDER IN IRELAND.—At the Longford Assizes, on Thursday, a man named Chas. M'Cormack was found guilty of the wilful murder of Michael Beglan on the 21st of November last. The atrocious crime (says the Dublin Daily Express) was committed under aggravated circumstances, which rendered it incumbent on the Crown to prosecute with a firm determination to vindi cate the law. It arose out of a double cause—the fact that the unfortunate victim, a young man named Beglan, had taken part against the popular candidate at the last con tested election, and, what was still greater offence in the estimation of his murderers, he had even dared to give evi- j dente against their friends in a court of justice. It ap peared that he was examined as a witness against some persons who were charged with being concerned in the dis graceful riots which took place at Ballymahon. For this he was ;loomed in the secret councils of the Ribbon con spiracy, and the vengeance treasured up at the time fell upon him with fatal certainty several months after the election, On the day he met his untimely death ho had gone into Ballymahon with his aged father to attend a fair. Four neighbours, professed friends, accompanied them on their way home. After crossing Drinan-bridge, however, the young man was set upon by a party of mis creants armed with bludgeons, and when his father, wh o had lagged behind, came up with him,. he found I l i a , him at the trial, stretched upon the ground, with his assailants completing yedet been pronoun their bloody work, whilst his own companions looked on without raising a hand to shield him. Fortunately for the ends of justice, the old man was . . able to recogni se One of' our Y t, di r s: s this case, He the practical joke, ithleemseunrtdenerceerus,poanndthe positively prisoner h i a d s en n t o i t h 'IRE BLACK BEETLE PIE CASE.--..\ o 7 izetere Norton, the magistrate of the LambetU p da N e r ed. • had been given to charged Mrs. Wilton from further proceeding He thought she had given the pie as a 4 and 5 o'clock in committed her for trial for the not with any bad intention, the man in the dark, instead of betweenre and wait th oin e time in the gaoler's the afternoon, he would have offence, Mrs. Wilton had to room before she could escape the court, e crowd gathered outside Sir Henry Bulwer as a Freemason. -- From the Smyrna Mail of the 23d ult. (just re , ceived), we extract the following " The Levant Herald states that on Monday, the 15th inst., Sir H. L. Bulwer, as R. W. 1 3 , G. M., received a large number of the Freemasons of the different lodges of the capital at the British Em bassy, for the purpose of hearing a lecture from Mr. J. P. Brown on " The Dervishes and Free masonry." The lecture displayed an amount of research and ability in the manner in which he dealt with his subject that well maintained his high reputation as an Orientalist. At the conclusion the ambassador warmly thanked Mr. Brown, and expressed the great interest he felt in the subject. The V. W. 11. P. G. M. Hyde Clarke, in an admirable address, expressive of the appreciation of the service rendered by Mr. Brown, urged on the members of the craft to cultivate lite rature as one of the best aids to advance the true interests of their order. In the course of some ex planatory remarks, Mr. Brown stated his intention of publishing the results of his investigations on this interesting subject. Sir Henry subsequently addressed the brethren in masonic terms, stating his desire that they should have many future reunions of a similar nature to that evening, and that he would always be happy to render what assistance he could to advance the interests of the craft. Be fore the company broke up refreshments were served. The meetings of the Bulwer Lodge are to be held at the Embassy for the future on the seoond Thursday in the month." TR3 DAILY PRESS-REVIEWED ! We observe, with not unnatural interest, an announce ment given in the Literary Times of to-day to the effect that that clever little penny weekly organ of criticism is about boldly and vigorously to hare at—the whole of the Daily Newspapers ! The design here projected may be best explained perhaps by an extract from the article in which the Literary Times makes this rather startling, this cer tainly very novel, announcement. " Our new feature," it says, "is to review those who have heretofore reviewed us all; yes, up to the epees in the sun. Let proprietors go on dictating to their enlightened staff, who shall sing high, who shall sing low; but let others be the judges as to how the bass does the treble. We pretend to nothing but our own opinion; we would not ad vertise the ?lutes if we were asked. Like the student who put to the professor a question, and got for answer, I are sure I don't know ;do you ?' we have a right to venture to ask Telegraphs, Was that the real message ?' end Stars, ' Is that your real light when looked at through a prism ?' The Daily Press is the great Re porter. Its short-hand stretches to the poles, and ascends them, ice-greased as they are ; its fingers snatch messages from the line in every ship that crosses it ; but it is no con ' juror —ad is done at the office. Presscraft all I But we are not all imposed on by sights'; we are not all held at the reins by the printer's devil, while the leader mounts. The Emperor of the French is the best of men;' ride the daily Press. The Emperor of the French is the worst of men;' vide the daily Press. Yet what a mixed blessing is this great Reporter. All speak through its mouth: the explorers of the Nile, the Royal Institution, and the doings of King Dahomey. In the Daily Press these live before our eyes. Mary Ann Walkley dies among its columns, like Samson Agenistes ; and Lancashire starves upon them, but for subscriptions already advertised. What should we hear if it were not for the Times' we live in ? sve are not otherwise in the confidence of ' the hus band of Madame Elise,' nor of Mr. Cebden's supporters ; much less did we go with Captain Spekeup the Nile, The daily press is indeed rich in information : it is not to be wondered e.i, then, if its reasonings are often no less rich. They were rich (i l a R ot h sch i ld), for they paid, when in a shameful moment England got out of bed and advocated a prize fight between Heenan and Tom Sayers ; and when imposed on by its advisers, the spiritual and corporeal peers present, it avowed itself a convert to the nation. If the press does not now regret the part it took, all th at we can sa y is, there are those who do; and had we been hatched at the time we should have shown our teeth—not false ones like theirs, but ready to do their own bidding. We are grateful for the daily press, but its leading articles have become leading strings to the million, to drag the world its own way; an d it would be well if they were more critically examined. In Parliament there is more discussion; yet there, e ven, the truth is half hidden, like gold scattered through the quartz. The press is seldom reviewed; and this is the opening we seize on, not to break in upon, but to complete the intellectual circle. To criticise the newspaper press when its opinions are injurious and false is a legiti mate 11,Id of labour, and it will be worked by the IN? ary Times. People talk by the newspaper column, ri g ht or wrong, for reflection is scarce, except it be such as the mirror of party affords. The intellect of the people, in politics not least, is liken strawberry in June,—ripe on this side, green on that ; it does it good to be turned over. It there be a lazy appendage to the body, it is the mind, so little it reflects; yet so much does it love ideas that rather than be thoughtless, it adopts those of others and ' brings them up as its own. Now, it is urged that there are principles in nature, human and divine, which should be standard, but that aro constantly overlooked for want of reflection im maturities are put forward by the press in place of truth; why should not these be exposed, like the green side of the strawberry, to the sun ? Such are the foibles that re quiree to be pointed out by those who happily are not to b imposed on by the grand spectacles of the world; and we shall try our hand at the task, reminding those concerned that, as our work will not be done by halves, we shall give no quarter." CAPITAL PUNISHMENTS.—Mr. Hibbert has given notice that on the 14th inst. he will ask the Home Secre tary whether, in the ensuing session of Parliament, ho will bring about such a change of the law as will permit capital punishments to be carried out, under certain reetrietions, within the interior of prieons. STBAX ntr-ENGINES: The trials with the fire-engines were brought to a close yesterday, after each machine had been put through every conceivable form of ordeal, some of which were so severe that one—an American engine, as we anticipated it would, broke down completely. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, accom. panied by Lord Caithness, and attended by Captain Grey, came en the ground :eon after 10 o'clock to witness the experiments. On the previous evening the American engine, which worked so violently, was tried by the severe test of drawing its water from a depth of 18ft. and delivering it up-hill through a 400 ft. l engt h of hose into the water temple. This was the most difficult test which any of the machines had to undergo, but those of Messrs. Shand and Mason, and Merryweather went through it admirably. The American engine Alex andra broke its cylinder cover in its efforts to do the same, and of course was instantly rendered useless. Yesterday the Manhattan, which was seriously in jured by turning over when being brought upon the ground on Tuesday, was tried in the presence of his Royal Highness. It was scarcely fair to try this engine at all, but the American gentlemen themselves wished it, and steam was got up accord ingly. Before it had pumped long, however, it was found to be too much injured to work with safety, and a crack which its fly wheel had received when it fell over began to spread so fast that the machine had to be stopped at once. The Prince appeared to take great interest in the working of the machines, the different merits of which were pointed out to him by the Duke of Sutherland and Capt, Shaw, who have been on the ground early and late superintend ing everything connected with the trials since th e competition first began. After passing sPeme time among the enginee, the Prince went to that part of the grounds where Mr. Coxwell's galloon was in flated, ready to ascend at 1 o'e.lock. Mr. Coxwell was sent for by the Prince, and had the honour of explaining to him fully all the details of the huge machine and the various appurtenances used for managing it while ascending and descending, with all of which his Royal Highness appeared exceed ingly interested. The Prince remained to witness the ascent of the balloon, which Mr. Coxwell made with Mr. Birkbeck at one o'clock, and from the comparative stillness of the air the great machine remained a long time in sight, and, we may add, descended safely in the afternoon on Crofton Farm, beyond Bromley. After the ascent the Prince quitted the gardens and rode back to town. The most important experiments afterwards made with the engines took place just under the north water tower, to test them as to their power in throw ing a vertical jet high into the air, For this purpose the nczzles of the hose of the four competing ma chines were fixed upright side by side in a frame about loft. high. The diameter of the hose pipe used by Mr. Merryweather was 26-16ths of an inch, or more than an inch and a half. Messrs. Shand and Mason used a nozzle of 22-16ths of an inch, the American engine one of 21-16ths of an inch, and Mr. Roberts's engine one of 14.16ths of an inch. The latter for suen a small engine (only 20evet.) threw a steady and high jet, at times quite as high as 140 ft. into the air. All, however, were eclipsed in height by the jets thrown by Mr. Merryweathcr's and Messrs. Shand and Mason's, that from the engine of the latter firm being the highest of all, reaching at times close upon 190 ft., if indeed it did not overtop even this great altitude. Mr. Mereweather's engine also threw a most magnificent column of the great dia meter we have mentioned,and maintained the column steadily at a height varying between 160 and 170 ft• This was the most massive jet thrown, though Messrs. Shand and Mason,with their slightly thinner column, could always overreach it by 20ft. or more. The American engine was literally nowhere, and, except during an occasional spurt, 50ft. was about its maximum. As the jets were kept close up, parallel with the tower, and only distant from it a couple of feet, it was quite easy, by a compa rison with the stories of the tower itself, each of which is 20 feet high, to estimate almost to a foot the height each jet was thrown. The united efforts of all the nozzles of course came down in a perfect cataract of water. This last effort, which was exceedingly beautiful to wit ness, brought the trials to a close. The decision of the committee awarding the prizes having, of course, to be based on the careful consideration of an infinity of minute, but important details, cannot be made known before Wednesday or Thursday next. It wad, however, a very general opinion on the ground that Mr. Merryweather had gained the first prize for large engines 60 cwt.), and Messrs. Shand and Mason the first prize for small (30ewt.). It is the small engines, however, which are the great desiderata just now. MARKETS---This Day. COVENT GARDEN.

Royal National Lifeboat Institution. A meeting of this institution was held yesterday, at its house, John•atreet, .Adelphi,—Thomas Chap man, Esq., F.R.S., the chair. There were also present Sir E. Perrott, Bart., V.P., A. Boete feur, E.5q., Col. Palmer, High Sheriff of Essex ; J. Griffith, Esq. ; Captain Ward, R.N., Inspector of Lifeboats of the Institution; and Richard Lewis, the secretary. A report was read from Capt. Ward, R.N., the inspector of lifeboats of the institution, on his recent tour of inspection of the Irish lifeboats. He found them generally in excellent order. It was stated that all the lifeboats on the Irish coast are now under the management of the institution, and that it had placed on every station a new lifeboat. Altogether the Irish lifeboat stations had cost the institution nearly £8,500. Payments amounting to about £1,600 were ordered to be made to meet the expenses of the numerous lifeboats of the institution. The com mittee earnestly appealed to the public tor continued support to enable them to meet the very large and increasing expenses on the 125 lifeboats of the in stitution. It was stated that each lifeboat establish ment required about £5O a year to keep it in a state of thorough efficiency. The proceedings then terminated. Society for the Employment of Women. The annual meeting of the friends and suppor ters of this society was held yesterday at Willis's Rooms—the Earl of Shaftesbury in the chair. The SECRETARY read the report detailing the operations of the society for the past year. In the course of that period the number of applications made for employment fully testitied to the neces sity for such an institution, and tar exceeded the I means of the society. The great majority of the applicants required such a description of employ ment as did not require any previous training, and showed the necessity of parents training up their daughters to some employment to which they could turn in times of emergency. The a ttendance at th e adult class of Missßurchette's s chool averaged eight e d the pupils, and the total number w h class since the close of the B ummer term of last year had been 32. The report having referred had jo to in several ealeu to the publi c to sup cases in which the committee. had proc ure d employ ment for applicants, app port an institution established to supply a grea t portion of th e community. want in the pres ent state of society, and to re li eve the distress wh ich prevailed to so lar ge an extent moved the adopti on o f th e a m il‘ o f e r s it t l t t3. l2 female fewiwas sis ,Eg s gratifying ,ativ ii f. yp i o. , g to perceive th at the report,. i y had done so much with the limited means at its com mand' Public sympathy had been direct e d to the poor girl who h a d l ately fallen a victim to One of the evils her class we re a t p resen t su bj ecte d to, but the difficulties in meeting this system were goodvery g th r eina thing . if He had establishmentsalways h tsuocnhgahst that twld be would nwhich a this young girl had died were subjected to the pro visions of the act of Parliament regulating model lodging houses, which in those cases worked bene ficially. Sir F. GOLDSMID seconded the adoption of the report, which was unanimously agreed to. Mr. A. RINNAIRD, M,P., moved a resolution pointing out the duty of paients giving their daugh ters proper education and training, so as to fit them for the exercise of the duties of life. There were many fields of employment cpen for women. Miss Paithfull had already shown how well adapted women were to pursue the calling of compositors, and there were many other light employments in which they could be equally as profitably em ployed. The Rev. Mr. KEMPE seconded the resolution, which Was also carried. The meeting was afterwards addressed by Mr. G. Hastings and Dr. Lankester, and a vote of thanks to tha chairman, suitably acknowledged, closed the proceedings.
