It is entirely devoted to desti tution in its most pitiable form—viz., that which is accom panied by sickness and disease, and is now of sufficient magnitude that, with adequate support, it may be rendered capable of admitting into its wards a very large proportion of the casual sick of this great metropolis. It requires but the funds in order to have 500 beds available for the reception of these the most wretched of our fellow -creatures. Moreover, it gratuitously affords medical advice and medicine to more, on the average, than 3,000 out-patients a week. The Weekly Board feel it their imperative duty to make an EARNEST APPEAL to the public for continued support, to enable them to admit and relieve the distressing cases that daily present themselves.

The Very Rev. R. Chenevix Trench, D.D., Dean of Westminster and of the Order of the Bath, has definitively accepted the Archbishopric of Dublin, with the Chancellor ship of the Order of St. Patrick, tendered to him by Lord Palmerston. Although an Englishman by education and settlement, Dr. Trench is an Irishman by birth and extrac tion, and his appointment is likely to meet with general favour access the Channel- This eminent poet, scholar, and divine was born on Sept. 9, 1807, so that he is in his 57th year. He is the second son of Mr. Richard Trench, of Botley, Hants, barrister-at-law, by Melesina Chenevix, relict of Col. St. George, and daugh ter of the Rev. Philip Chenevix (son and heir of Richard Chenevix, Archbishop of Waterford, 1741-9), a lady whose interesting journal, edited by her son, the Dean of West minster, was published a year or more ago, and was one of the most valuable books of the season. The family is a Gal way one. Frederic Trench settled in that county 150 years ago, and his descendant, Frederic of Woodlawn, M.P. for Portarlington, created Lord Ashton in 1800, was Mr. Richard Trench's elder brother. The present Lord Ashtown is first cousin as well as brother-in-law to the new arch bishop, who is connected with the Whites of Woodlands, Lord Bloomfield, Lord Drogheda, and other Irish families, besides baying considerable landed property in Ireland him eel•`', bequeathed to him by his father. Dean Trench was educated at Harrow School and Trinity College, Cambridge, graduating in 1829. After being for a short time incumbent of Curdridge, Hants, he became curate to the present Bishop of Oxford at Alverstoke, in the same county, in 1841, from which period may be dated his literary reputation and professional advancement. The bishop anti his quondam curate have always been on terms of the great est intimacy, and no one can have heard the latter preach without recognising the manner of the master. When the Bishop of Oxford became Dean of Westminster, Lord Ashburton presented Mr. Trench to the rectory of ltchin toke, near Winchester. In this position, outside his parish, which is a model of neatness and beauty, moral as well as natural, there was little for Mr. Trench's activity to work upon, for the theological annosphare of Winchester was not to his taste, and he took very little pains to conceal the fact, In 1845-6, he was tiulscan lecturer at Cambridge, and in 1847 he accepted the divinity professorship in King's Col lege, London, an office which at once brou4ht him into the best London society, as he had by that time become widely known as a poet and a writer. In 1855,-6 it was supposed that ho would have had the Bishopric of Gloucester, but some hitch occurred, and, by way of compensation, the Deanery of Westminster was conferred upon him. Here he has been chiefly known for his establishment of the Sunday evening services, and for his readiness to preach and lecture anywhere in London for good objects. His management of Westminster School has not been successful, but his heart was in his study, and he left the buoiness of the abbey and its estates to Lord John Thynne and Dr. Cureton. It must be said, however, that Dr. Trench, who advocated the re moval of the school into the country, and the abolition of the time-honoured play, had the manliness and candour to bow to the expressed wish of the old Westminsters' com mittee, and to announce his intention of doing► his best for the improvement of the school, while retaining its time honoured customs. It need not be said that Dean Trench is known as an au thor wherever the English language is spoken. As a poet his " Sabbation," ." Honor Neale," and especially hi s " Justin Martyr" and " Genoveva" have long ago entitled him to a similar rank among poets to that occupied by hi s friend Lord Houghton. As a divine, his " Notes•on the Parables," "" on the Miracles," "on the Sermon on the Mount," &c., have passed through several editions, and are standard theological works among the clergy and candidates for ordination. As a philologist his " Study of Words" is, perhaps, his most popular book; but literary men know that he is one of the projectors of the new English dic tionary=-the design ofwhichhe introduced to the world with his essay " On the deficiencies of our English Dictionaries." sympathies In his views th e new archbishop is High Church—as the Bishop of Oxford i s Hi gh Church, with large for all sections within th e Church, and without the slightest particle of intoleranc e or f anacticism in his composition. If he is equally on good ter ms w i th the Bishop of Oxford, Mr. Maurice, Mr. Thackera Y, and Lord Houghton, it may be safely said that he will never be liable to the charge of illiberality. He is likely to be an ornament to his native country, and the mainstay of her Church in days which may be critical. Dean Trench married, in 1832, the lion. Frances Mary, sister of the present Lord Ashtown, and daughter of Mr. Frederic Trench, brother of the first peer, by whom he has had a very large family. NADAR'S GIANT BALLOON, The interest excited by M. Nadar's gigantic balloon and its two ascents from the Champ de Mars in Paris, with the perils of its descents, so graphically described in the French journals, has led to an arrangement by which, for a few days only, it will be exhibited in the centre transept of the Crystal Palace. In order that some idea may be formed of the magnitude of this vast aerial machine, it may be stated that it so far exceeds in height the great transept of the Palace that the nacelle (or car) cannot be placed in its proper position be neath the balloon, but must be exhibited detached from it. But for the Crystal Palace it would not have been pos sible for the English public to have had the oppm tunity of seeing this great machine ; for at this stormy period of the year ascensions or ont- door exhibitions of it are alike im practicable, and no other building of sufficient height is available in which to exhibit it. In the Palace it will be inflated with atmospheric air, and consequently be partly suspended from the roof of the transept, The curious contrivances of small rooms in the lower 1 floor of the car, with the various appurtenances provided b y X. Nadar for his aerial voyage, will be regarded with greatall interest, as will also the "Compensator," or second nthoet ileonsiderable balloon, 'which. is intended to receive the spare gas when large balloon becomes diminished densit y cm a ri inflat ed . aWh tasb As may be of the atmosphere. too much distended by the .supposed, the weight of this great balloon is the Emperor and oth w readily from the grow the last ascent in the the Ki ng also it is borne in mind that at hamp de Mars, in the presence of n of e d a- lzi r y e Greece, it 2 i lo t 5 ,raisedcubic 3 5 per sonsfeet at w ex il c l it g e i d ve a s b o r m oa e d id i e t a m of ay th b e e ascending power which is deinlasypected by a host of of gas with which it was To judge of the interest gained stated that the royal family of Hanover edrepaetatedly visited the railway distinguished person, t s te ti b o a u ll s o g o rn a, e a d n a d y t s h t a h t a t t h i e t The palace will remain open during the exhibition of the balloon at the usual charge of ls., and as it will pro b ably be more convenient to many persons to visit it late in the after noon, the Palace will be lighted up each evening till seven o'clock. Arrangements have also been made by whi c h trains from the North London Railway at Bow and inter mediate stations will run direct to the Palace, tickets, in cluding admission to the Palace, being issued by the rail- way company. The car arrived at Folkeston on Saturday, and was to be at the Palace in the evening. The ballooa itself, in charge of M. Nadar's assistants, was to leave Paris on Saturday night, and is expected to arrive at the Palace in the course of t4.)-day. Naval and Military Intelligence, THE NAVY. The screw launch Experiment, fitted with twin screws driven by double cylinder engines of 3-horse collective power (nominal), made her second official trial at Portsmouth, on Saturday, under the supervision of Commander Brett, of her Majesty's ship Asia, the trial being conducted by Mr. J, Ward, assistant to the chief engineer of Portsmouth dockyard, and Mr. G. Murdoch, inspector of machinery afloat. The wind was from the eastward, raising a slight swell on the water that was rather against the chance of the vessel exhibiting her hightest possible rate of speed. A reference to the figures appended will, however, show that the speed attained on the present trial was rather in excess of that on the first trial ; but, as a higher and more uniform pressure of steam was Maintained on the present than on the previous trial, there is no doubt that had the conditions of fence of wind— and smoothness of water been equal, the experiments would have realised a speed of seven knots. On reaching the measured mile in Stokes-bay four runs were made, with both propellers working, with the following results :-Ist run 6'394 knots. steam pressure '6olbs.; 2d, 71.14 knots, steam pressure, 621b5.; 3d, 6,428 knots, steam pressure 621bs. ; 4th, 7.128 knots, steam pressure 641bs. The mean speed of the four runs was 6780 knots. The evolutions of the engines ranged from 302 to 304. Two runs were made with one propeller (the port) only working, the results being :-Ist run, 4'551 knots, steam pressure 601bs. ; 2cl, 4 675 knots, steam pres sure 601bs. The mean speed was 4613 knots, the revolu tion of engines ranged from 320 to 360. These resultB being found sufficiently concluiiv s e as to the boat's speed', using both or only one propeller, she was next tested in making circles, which were completed as follows :—With both propellers going ahead—Half circle to starboard, 35 sec. ; to port, 32 sec. ; full circle, to starboard, 1 min. 8 sac. ;to port, 1 min. 8 sec. The diameter of the circle was nearly three times the boat's length. With one propeller driving ahead and the other astern, the following results were obtained, the boat, as will be anticipated from previous trials with twin screw vessels when driving their screws in opposite directions, revolving after the fashion of a turn table, but with a spiral motion astern :—Half circle, to starboard, 35 sec.; to port, 32 sec:; full circle to starboard, 1 min. 57 sec. ;to port, 1 min. 37 sec. It will be seen that in twisting the boat round a circle the diameter of which is her own length, a somewhat longer time is occupied than in going round one three times her length. In the one in stance speed is sacrificed to the circle's diameter, and in the other instance it is the reverse. The power of steering the boat by the screws alone was next tested, and was at tended with the same certain result which has always attended a similar experiment with twin screws. In fact the boat, it was found, could be steered by her screws alone with a precision and ease equal, if not superior, to what would have attended the uee of her rudder. This exactness or ease may not probably be found so readily attainable in a vessel of large tonnage, but there can be no possible doubt that a vessel of any tonnage may be eteered With perfect safety in the Thames, or any other river having a sufficient depth of water, by her screws alone and without any rudder. Some further trials will be made at Portsmouth with the Experiment, it being intended to try her with her masts and sail on board, and her bow gun and carriage fixed in their positions, and with her other stores on board. It is very likely that this last trial will not be attended with the most satisfactory results, as the boat would then be too deep in the water either for speed or sea worthiness, It is the intention of the Admiralty to fit all launches of first-class ships in the same manner in which the Experiment is fitted, and simply as steam-tenders or tow-boats they will be invaluable to the ship they belong to. Towing the ship's boats, with their respective crews on board, or any armed expedition, with her own crew as riflemen, but with no big gun, the steam launch would move along at a good speed ; but the load of a heavy gun and its ammunition and masts and sails would so reduce her speed as to render her all but useless as a towing vessel to the other boats of the ship. With a ship's launch steam • ing up an enemy's river with the other boats of the ship in tow the crews of the latter would not expose themselves in rowing, and, in addition, could bring their rifles to bear on the river's banks from under the cover of their boats' bul warks, if not engaged in working the boat's gun. The Rus sians have for some time supplied single screw steam launches to their ships on foreign service, and use them chiefly as a means of transport, Her Majesty's ship Warrior will, it is expected, be the first vessel in the British Navy that will be supplied with one of the twin screw launches. The Orontes, screw iron troopship, Capt. W. H. Hire, arrived at,Spithead, late on Friday evening, from Malta and Gibraltar. The military invalids were transferred front the ship en baturday to Natley Hospital, and the time-expired men, women, and children, insane men and priecners, to the depots of their regiments, &c. The naval invalids were transferred to her Majesty's ship Victory, and the Royal and Naval Hospital at Hasler. Two warders and 32 con victs (the latter are tickets-of-leave), who also came from Gibraltar in the ship, were transferred to the convict prison at Portsea. Some 700 tons of old stores and a large quantity of condemned powder has been sent to England in the ship rom Malta and Gibraltar. The Orontes sailed from Malta on the 31st ult., leaving at anchor there her Majesty's ship s Hydra, Procris, and Redpole. The Malacca, 20, screw' sailed from the Rock for England on the 20th ult. The Gib raltar, screw, liner, Capt. Prevost, sailed for Malta on the 31st ult. The Racoon, 20, screw, Capt, Count Gleichen, was lying at Malaga. At Malta there was dullness of trade, and consequent grumbling ashore, owing to the lengthened ab sence of the fleet at the Pirmus. Since leaving England the Orontes has done very efficient service in the Mediterranean in the exchange of regiments between Malta and Gibraltar, and in the performance of which duty the conduct and at tention to the wants of their military passengers of Capt. Hire and his officers are spoken of in very high terms. It is, however, stated that although the Orontes was designed and constructed for an improved Himalaya, she is, in fact, very far from being even the equal of that vessel. Her ma chinery is of insufficient power, and she can with difficulty average 10 knots. Her steering power is also defective, her wheel requiring considerable alterations. At present it takes six men in ordinary weather to steer her. She is an excellent sea boat and remarkably easy in rough weather. Her immediate requirements (to make her approach the Himalaya in comfort to her passengers and speed) are, a poop on the upper deck, and the present cabin space on the main deck added to the troop berthing ; some alterations to her machinery, and additional boiler space. It will take about three weeks to make good her ordinary defects. The crew of the screw steamship Desperate, 8, were paid off on Saturday at Devonport, in the presence of Admiral. Superintendent Symonds. The sloop will be placed in the 3d division of the Steam Reserve in Hamoaze. The paddlewheel steam-tender Sprightly, from Porte. mouth, arrived on Saturday at Plymouth, with supernume raries for the Royal Adelaide. The Emerald, 35, screw steam-frigate, 2,913 tons, 600- horse power, Capt. A. Cumming, which recently formed one of the Channel squadron, was paid out of commission by Capt. Charles Wise, A.D.C., Superintendent of Sheerness dockyard, on Saturday. On Friday the officers of the dock yard and Sheerness Steam Reserve inspected the vessel and machinery, and she is to be placed in the 3d division of the Steam Reserve. The sailing transport Empress, belonging to Messrs. Houlder Brothers, taken up by the War Department for the transport of the 4th battalion Military Train to Auck land, New Zealand, sailed from Woolwich pier yesterday morning, in tow of two ateamtugs as far as the Nore. The ship's hold was stowed well up with war stores of every de scription, consisting of guns, trenchi ng t oo l s, t en t s , f orage, hospital comforts, and on immense number of cases filled with saddlery, harness, &c. , amounting t o 100 t ons mea surement, and 100 tons of powder and ammunition in her magazines. A large number of sheep, pigs, and poultry were shipped for the voyage, and a patent distilling appa ratus will supply 55C gallons of fresh wa t er per d ay . Th e married officers and a proport ionate number of the men are accompanied by their wives and families. The following appointments were made on Saturday at the Admiralty :—Lieut. H. R. Berners, to the Liffey; Lieut, H. C. Onslcw, to the Tamar; Arthur Blennerhassen, mid shipman, to the Royalist; Jas. H. Wallis, assist•surgeon, to the Cumberland; Arthur J. Ireland, assist.-surgeon, to the Duke of Wellington; and George Doveson, clerk, to the Adventure. THE ARMY. The result of the official inquiry into the circumstances connected with the origin Of the fire at Aldershott Camp on Friday has not been divulged. It is neverthless known unofficially that the stable in which the outbreak occurred was:visited by a man appointed under a contractor for the purpose of trimming the lamps just previous to the occur rence of the fire, and one of the posts to which a lamp was attached was found ignited by the sentry on duty in the building, but could not be extinguished before the flames had obtained oventibelming mastery.

Crawley not require more time to arrange his defence, that the Court shall assemble on Thursday next. Apartments in the club• house have been fitted up for him, to prevent the unpleasantness of his removal to and from the court. The members of the Court will comprise Gen. Sir George Wetherall, President ; Major- Gene.

Pipon officiating Judge. Advocate-General. • On Friday, in accordance with the sentence of a court martial, the ceremony of drumming out a soldier was per formed at Aldershott. The culprit was Private Peter O'Donnell, of the 76th Regiment, whose extraordinary attempt at desertion was noticed in the Sun about three months ago. It will be remembered that O'Donnell escaped, with his rifle, bayonet, and 20 rounds of ammuni tion in his possession, into the Long Valley, and for three days kept a pursuing party at bay, being ultimately lost sight of in the direction of Reading. Subsequently he quietly returned to his regiment, was placed under arrest, and tried by court-martial for the offence. Being found guilty on the several counts of desertion, firing at a corporal of the 76th Regiment and a private of the 6th Dragoon Guards, and of losing various articles of regimental apparel, ammunition, &c, he was adjudged to undergo four years' penal servitude, to be ignominiously expelled her Majesty's service, and to be branded with the letter " D." The two companies of the 76th Regiment remaining at Aldershott having assembled in the barrack square, together with the band of the 60th Rifles, the prisonit was marched out hand cuffed, wearing only his shirt and trousers, as when last seen at the period of his escape. Since his arrest he has constantly feigned insanity, and he now exhibited a very defiant bearing. The companies being drawn into line, and the front rank marched 15 paces to the front, Captain O'Donoghue, the senior officer in command, read the charge and the finding of the court-martial, together with the whole list of offences recorded against the prisoner, from which it appeared that his name had figured in the defaulters' book 41 times, and that he had previously, at Glasgow, been sen tenced to 112 days' imprisonment, and to be branded with the letter D. On the conclusion of the reading of the sen tence the prisoner threw his cap high in the air and shouted, "Long live Queen Victoria! Good bye ! Three cheers for old Ireland I" Quickly stepping out, he was followed by the band of the 60th Rifles playing " The Rogue's March." On arriving at the end of the linehe turned round, bowed nearly to the ground, again shouted " Good bye," and threw his cap into the air three or four times. He was then marched under an escort of the 60th Rifles, to the military prison to undergo his full term of punishment. A detachment of 100 non-commissioned officers and men of the Royal Artillery have arrived at the headquarters of the Ist division of the depot brigade, Royal Artillery, from the depot brigade at Warley, to undergo a course of instruc tion in gunnery previously to embarking for service in India or the colonies. The hired transport King Arthur arrived at Spithead on Saturday, from the Thames, and was yesterday towed into Portsmouth harbour, to embark the head-quarters of the 55th Regiment for conveyance to Madras. On Saturday afternoon the Royal Artillery four-oared gig attached to Staddon Fort, in Plymouth Sound, left the Barbican Pier for Bovisand, under the control of Sergeant Drew, No. 7 Battery, 4th Brigade, besides whom there were in her Gunners Hamlyn, Fiederick Hawkings, William Stevens, Sieveley, Robert Johnson, and James Mahoney, Mrs. Drew, wife of Sergeant Drew, Mrs. Wilson, wife of Bombardier Wilson, and Mrs. Brown, wife of Bombardier Brown, all belonging to the same battery. It appears that after she had left the Barbican, and when in the Sound, the oars were taken in and their canvas—a sprit-sail—hoisted. Just opposite Staddon Point, shortly before 4 o'clock, a sudden squall from north-west jibbed the boat, which cap sized and turned bottom up. The cries of the people having been heard by the sentry on Staddon Fort, an alarm was instantly raised and artillerymen from the barracks rushed down the hill. Some jumped into the contractor's boat, others assisted in manning the coastguard boat, and both pulled out. Considerable time had, however, elapsed, and, on coming up to the capsized boat, two persons only were on it—viz., Sieveley and Mrs. Drew. The former was vainly seeking to save the like of the latter, who, although cling ing to the keel of the boat, was quite dead. Johnson was pulled up by his comrades with a rope from Bovisand Pier. Mahon,y swam ashore. All the rest were drowned, and none of their bodies are as yet recovered. The new screw steamship Sea King (belonging to Messrs. Robertson and Co.), Captain Pinel, 1,5u0 tons burden, went alongside Woolwich pier on Saturday, in the service of the War Department, and commenced shipping 1,400 quarter barrels of prepared ammunition for the colonial government of New Zealand. A large amount of stores is in readiness for shipment, including two complete batteries of 12- pounder Armstrong guns, and No. 4 battery, 4th brigade Royal Artillery, in command of Lieut.-Col. Barston, will embark on Thursday morning for passage to New Zealand. The strength of the battery has been increased to 258 non commissioned officers and men by a member of volunteers from other brigades since their arrival at Woolwich. The officers, whose names have been inserted in a former num ber of Ihe Sun, are 15 in number. There are likewise six officers' wives and five children, and GO women. REPORT ON RAILWAYS.--The Commission ap pointed in November, 1861, by the Minister of Agriculture, Commerce, and Public Works, to inquire into the working and construction of railways in France, has just published a voluminous but highly interesting report. and it is signed by the vice-president, M. Michel Cheva ier, senator, and the secretary, M. Adolphe Moreau, auditor at the Council of State, whose ability and skill in putting together the materials collected with great pains and research, reflect equal credit on his industry and talent, and fully entitle him to the honour of having his name asssociated with that of so eminent a man as M. Michel Chevalier. There is not a point of interest connected with the subject that has not been thoroughly sifted in this volume, which may be considered more in the light of a treatise on railways than of a dry official report. We glean the following recommendations of the Commission as most likely to interest the general reader. Touching the speed of express trains, which in France does not exceed a maximum of 57 kilometres (351 miles) an hour, while in England it attains as much as 71 kilometres (44 miles) an hour, the Commission acknowledges the expediency of raising the average speed to 60 kilometres, but admits that this condition cannot be imposed upon railway companies in the case of lines the gradients of which require a slack ened speed in the interest of the passengers themselves and their personal security ; that it is desirable that there should be at least one express train per day each way on every line, and that, although no steps should be taken in the matter, it would be desirable to admit second and third class pas-' sengers to the advantage of the express train. Regarding omnibus trains, there should be one at least of these trains per day on the principal lines, going at the rate of 40 kilo metres (25 miles) ifer hour. The correspondence or check granted to a passenger for the purpos e o f exc h ang ing the line by which he has come for another which crosses it has always been the object of special agreement between the companies. The agreements are communicated to the Go vernment, and cannot come into force until the sanction of the Minister has been obtained. As this necessity usually causes great delay, and therefore inconvenience to the pub lic, the commission is of opinion that the agreement should be allowed to be acted upon five days after it has been com municated to the Government. The Minister may then, if necessary, suppress it ; but if it should work well, he may sanction it at his leisure. Concerning the important ques tion of personal security in trains, so as to prevent the recurrence of such crimes as that of the murder of M. Poinsot, the Commission examines at length the various plans proposed, such as bell - handles within the rea ch o passengers, or the guard being enjoined to pass from car riage to carriage by means of the footboards and handles' &c., and arrives at the conclusion that the firs t plan would would enable any one to stop the train, either for gr oundless sake, or from some foolish motive of g fear ; and that the second plan impracticable vran I where on these lines where the tunnels are too narro the guard would be exposed to lose hi s life. At all events, to render legislative enactments would be necessaryemadea bad use of the pas sengers liable to punishment if the t y h means placed at their disposal for the purpose of obtaining recommendation of the Co a m p.p m ar is a s t i u o s n . assistance. Another .dbe provided for third-class is, that either curtains or s moke .consumin g ctharereianggeisz,eainsdptrhoavtidcsoad twbite.hbul.Fd instead of coke, whenever stations. Concerning the goods' tr • It also advocates the admission of all Bests of omnibuses to trains, the the railway Commission is of opinion that the present rate of 125 kilo metres per 21 hours ought to be raised to 200 kilometres. But in order further to promote the speedy delivery of goods, it propose that companies be authorised to convey mode rately-sized parcels by express, but only from one terminus to another, the total weight not to exceed 2,000 kilos. Th e diminution of stoppages is a great conside r atioL with the Commission throughout the report, where it is stated that with this view an apparatus has been invented for exchanging mailbags not exceeding 12 kilogrammes at the stations without stopping the trains. Lastly, the com mission proposes to empower companies to modify their tariffs, on condition of their communicating them to the Government. If after a month the latter has not interfered, the tard may be put in ; but the Minister has always the right of suspending it. The volume is full of interest ing details, isn4 is well worth the perusal of professional men.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER. - - On the arrival of the Lord Mayor at Westminster Hall, his Lordship at once proceeded to the Court of Exchequer. The civic party took a standing position in front of the bench reserved for Queen's counsel. The RECORDER then addressed the Court and said—My Lord Chief Baron, I have the honour to introduce to your lordship and this Court the Right Hon. William Lawrence, elected by the citizens of London to fill the office of Lord Mayor for the year ensuing. The gracious approval of her Majesty has r atified the e hoice of the citizens, and now his lord ship appe ars before the Court to complete the forms required for one entering upon the performance of such a re sponsible and important office. The learned gentleman after proceeded ou tline of the caree r to give a brief of the new Lord M a yor, who, he remarked, h a d carried on a very exten sive business for many ; years, and in all his dea lings had been characterised by honour and integrity. He concluded by saying that Alderman Lawrence was held in the highest esteem by his fellow-citizens. The LORD CHIEF BARON congratulated Alder man Lawrence upon having attained the honour so highly-prized and eagerly sought after by every citizen, viz., that of being elected Lord Mayor of London and Chief Magistrate of the City of Lon don. li e was not one of those who thought the present proceeding an idle and unnecessary pageant, because the new Lord Mayor appeared before the Court to claim certain rights and privileges which have belonged to the City from time immemorial. He felt much gratified at the account he had heard from the learned Recorder, and he had no doubt that during his lordship's year of office he would exert him self to perform his duties in the most advantageous and efficient manner, that he was certain he would succeed, so that at its termination he would con tinue to deserve the good opinion of his fellow' citizens. The Lord Chief Baron concluded his remarks by congratulating Alderman Rose 00 the manner he had fulfilled his term of effice, ts as it did some of the most important even embracing that had occurred for many years. ed w his ackno.

Cobden on the Conduct of the British Authorities in Japan. The following. letter from Mr. Cobden has been received by Mr. Ashworth, Mayor of Roehda!e Miuhurst, November 4. My dear Sir,—Circumstances will prevent me from paying my accustomed visit to Rochdale previous to the 9th and I fear I shall therefore not have the satisfaction of attending a public mee ti ng un d er your pres i dency as mayor. I regret this both on personal and public grounds. I should have taken the opportunity of calling the atten tion of my constituents to the last news from the East. " I have been reading carefully the official correspond enrespecting our recent proceedi ngs i n Japan. It tPiusbiShhoerd'riblenarrat ive, which I find difficult to treat with calmness. It appears that a despatch was sent by Earl Russell, instructing the British representatives in that country to demand redress from Prince Satsuma, one of its feudal chiefs or daimios, for the murder of Mr. Richardson, and, in default of which, discretion was given to our naval commander, either to seize or detain' the prince's steamvessels, or shell his residence, or blockade his port. Thereupon, according to his own despatch, the British admiral proceeded forthwith to burn the p r i nce ' s steamers, and set fire to the town of Kagosima, When, to quote his language, 'the conflagration thus created con tinued with unabated ardour up to the time of the depar ture of the squadron, 48 hours subsequently to the first at tack,' which, he proceeds to say, ' affords reasonable ground for believing that the entire town of Kageshna is now a mass of ruins;' and he.expresses his 'trust that her Ma j esty's Government will be pleased to approve' his deeds. "It is stated, I know not how truly, that Kagosima is a city of more than 150,000 inhabitants. In an interesting account of Japan, which appeared in the Revue des -Delo Mandes of the 15th October, from the pen of M. Adolphe Linden, a recent traveller in that country, this place is de scribed as L'un des plus considerables entrepots du com merce de l'ile de Kiou-siou' "Now, let me ask you to consider for a moment what is really implied by the destruction, with incendiary shells without previous warning, of a city of even 100,000 inhabi tants. There is always in such towns hundreds of infants at their mothers' breasts, thousands of children under five years of age, hospitals with their sick, and numbers of aged and infirm, tottering on the brink of the grave ; there, too, must bo women over whom the pangs of maternity are impending, and there will be found homes filled with mourning, for the dead who are awaiting the rites of sepulchre. Such is the normal condition of every large city, whether in Asia or Europe. Now, picture this great commercial entrepot, with all its contents, reduced in 4S hours to a heap of ashes ; try to realise in imagination the fate of its population ; and then ask yourself what great crime they had committed to bring on themselves this havoc and destruction. To our shame and confusion the answer must be that this is the way in which Englishmen, under the command of Admiral Kuper and Colonel Neale, ad minister justice for the murder of an individual 100 miles a way— of which crime the inhabitants of Kagosima were as guiltless of all knowledge and complicity as your own neighbours in Rochdale. It is precisely as though an enemy should lay Bristol in ashes because an individual had been murdered on the highway between London and Brentford. And the chief actors in this outrage on humanity, instead of expressing one word of regret or emotion, coolly lay claim to the approbation of their Go vernment. " There has been much criticism in this country on the manner in which the civil war has been conducted by tho Americans, We have been prompt to condemn a people, over whom we have no control, for acts for which we are in nowise responsible. I remember the indignation with which the Prime Minister denounces General Butler's pro clamation in which he threatened to consign to the cala house those women who should insult his soldiers in the streets of New Orleans. Will he and his colleagues now make themselves and the country accomplices after the fact in these atrocities of their own agents, who, in con temptuous disregard of the instructions of their Govern ment, have brought this heavy disgrace upon the country ? I trust not. But, at all events, let us not forget that our moral power in the world is at stake ; that if, as a people, we condone such crimes as these, when penetrated in our name by those for whom, under heaven, we are alone re sponsible, we shall only invite the scorn of mankind by assuming to sit in judgment, as moral censors upon the delinquencies of other nations.—Believe Inc, yours sincerely, "Mr. G. L. Ashworth. Mayor." "11. COBDEN. SCENE AT A PRIZE FIGHT. A prize fight lately came off between Torn Daly and Billy M'Grath, at the Washoe race track, Virginia. After 14 rounds had been fought, a blow was struck which was voted " foul," which resulted in the following scene :—" Harry Lazar l u o s d ha i d n be h e i n s betting freely on M‘Grath, and was u denunciation of the referee, and everybody who b e e n Mexican betting named Maldonado, alias "Muchaeb," had on agreed with him in his decision. A out that the blow was foul. Daly, and kept crying Lazarus called him t ately drawn. is i m possible to say who dre w fi rs t ; i it was enough to do to get out of the way. As soon as Lazarus and " Mucha ch" commenced fi r i ng, two or t h re e other parties joined in. About the ring at this wer e 1,000 or 1,200 men, a l arge number of e horses, in vehicles and othe rw i se, and the excite mconfusion that en sue d b eggar all descrip tion.hnotrs time and , w The firing and the deafening shouts and yells of the combatants and surging crowd frightened many horses, whose re ar i ng an d p l ung i ng served to add to the danger and consternation of all in the vicinity. Two horses were shot in the melee, and the only wonder is that more men were not struck by the random pistol balls that flew singing through the air in every direction. Returning to the ring we found it almost deserted, the wounded men. " Muchach" and Lazarus, having been carried to the saloon near the gate of the enclosure. Thither we repaired, and found " Muchach" lying on a table, stripped to the waist, with a ball hole in his right breast close to the nipple, another near the pit of his stomach, and we were told that another ball had entered his side, and another struck one of his arms, On another table, stripped likewise to the waist, lay Harry Lazarus. One ball struck him in the breast, pretty high up, about two inches above the right nipple ; another ball had eo shattered the fingers of his right hand that it was found necessary to amputate two of them after his removal to Washoe city. His hand was struck while he Was in the act of levelling his pistol, and it is thought that the bail which entered his breast was the some that shattered:his fingers.—American paper.

All those who witnessed the operation were astonished at the slight degree of inconvenience it had occasioned. From that time the expectoration diminished considerably; the injection was repeated nine days later, a nd a further diminution of expectoration was perceived. lience it appears that the introduction of nitrate of silver into the respiratory organs is attended with no danger, and tßay be very beneficial.—Another member, Dr. Bourgeois, described the good effects of breathing sulphurous waters in a pulverised state, as it is called—that is, reduced by me chanical means to a sort of steam, or state of extreme divi sion resembling it.—Dr. Lavasseur read an account of an epidemic typhus fever, which attacked 10 persons out Of a family of 17.
