From him who is the servant of God, the Secretary of State, and the noble Commander whose name from. God is SID SAID EL YINIING, To the beloved, the wise, and most benevolent Sir Moses Montefiore, Bert. After rendering praise to God the Most High, we beg to inform you that we have received your letter describing the gracious reception accorded to you by the different Monarchs, their appreciation of the object which had been accomplished, and the advantages derived therefrom. All mankind will give thanks to you for the readiness and devotion to the good cause, which you manifested by bringing the present under the special notice of the Great Powers. With regard to your statement respecting the affairs of the Jewish subjects of our Lord, whom God may preserve in strength, we have to observe that they are his subjects, and he, may God preserve him and perpetrate his glory and greatness, does not like that they should be pursued by acts of injustice and torment in their unfortunate position, because God, the Most High, forbids injustice towards people professing our religion, and he likewise forbids in justice towards people professing any other religion. Our Lord, may God grant him support, h as a l rea dy commanded the inhabitant 3 of all the ether provinces of his empire, that the Jewish subjects should be treated wit , a kindness and strict justice, so that no wrong whatever be done to any of them. He also rebuked them (the inhabi tant of all the other provinces in his empire) by the pow er and strength of God, for the injustice they have done. We have not forgotten your polite attention, and the kindness evinced in your letter; we shall never fail to watch rigorously the proceedings of the officials of the pro vinces of our Lord whom God may preserve.

Lord Houghton, president cf fae society, occupied the chair. Lard HOUGHTON, in opening the proceedings, said the: re was a good deal of misapprehension and unnecessary fea rs as to the society exercising any improper influence, eitl: cr politically or socially. The fund was not meant in any <le. gree to apply merely to Parliamentary reporters, or even to reporters of any kind. Of course those gentlemen would be an element in the composition of the society, but they only took their due share in it ; therefore it seemed that any fear that through the means of the Parliamentary reporters any partiality or injustice should ensue was a perfectly,- chimerical supposition. Mr. H. G. WARREN, hon. sec,, then read the report a nd the balance sheet. They were both of an exceedingly sa,tis - factory and encouraging character. The balance tshe , 3t showed that the total receipts of subscriptions and donations since June of last year amounted to £1,566 13s, the whole of which has been received without deduction for collectors' commission, and that after paying every expense conse quent on the festival and the ordinary office outlay, there remained to the credit of the fund a balance of £1,346 12a Bd, of which sum £l,OOO is on deposit with the bankers of the fund at 5 per cent. Resolutions thanking the noble president, the vice-pre sidents, the committee, and Mr Warren, hon. sec., for their several good services, were carried with acclamation, and the meeting separated. LORD CARLISLE.—It is very:widely rumoured in London that the Earl of Carlisle is likely to yield to the opinion of his medical advisers, by withdrawing for a time from the fatigues of public life. In that case it is said that the Duke of Devonshire will probably be his SUCCOSSC r in the viceroyalty. In the contingency of his grace declinir g the Marquis of Lansdowne and Earl of BeKiborough a re talked of as probable aspirants for the office.—Dublin Eva a. ing Mail. SOUTHAMPTON, Saturday.—Tho folio win g steat a ships will sail hence during the ensuing week : The Tasmania, Capt. T. W.

Field, on Thursday, with the s Calcutta and China mails—and the Cambrian, k;aptain Ladds, on Friday, for Ase,nsion, St. Helena, and the Cn.po of Good Hope, calling at Plymouth for the mails.

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

The wheat crops are generally good ; oats thin; beans and peas are an average crop ; carrots, potatoes, and turnips fa ili ng from the conti nued dry weather, Hay crops thi n , grass keeping very s carce.

A liv S es NA in Kß l\l — erc l e ' r h , states that tOhEerewoman West, o?t e can .L a o d c a ki; who has for f our years past been afflicted with a singular difficulty in her stomach. The compleint commenced about four years since with a tickling and uneasy sensation about the pit of the stomach. The sensation has continued to in crease in severity. A few months since it became the opinion of the physicians that the increasing difficulty had been the growth of a snake in the stomach. It has grown so large now that it distends the stomach as to produce a bunch upon the outside no large as a quart bowl, Upcn pressing this bunch with the hand the reptile recoils and produces great distress in the stomach. When fish or meat is being cooked in the room, if the snake is not satisfied with food it rises up in the throat, producing strangulation. When desiring food, it manifests it by rising up in the throat. Physicians can see no way in which the snake can be removed without certain death to the woman. She is about 35 years of age. DOG FISH.—On Thursday night upwards of 16,000 dog fish were caught by the men belonging to the Victoria, of Plymouth, not far fret the psat. old signboard of the Falcon at Bidford, where, as tradition goes, the bard and his townsmen once en gaged in a toping tournament with the villagers, and got worsted. The old font from the church is in the garden behind the house, where, in the course of the evening, The Mayor of STRATFORD, addressing the visitors, informed them of the service rendered by Mr Halli well in putting the house in order; how the old Swan and Maidenhead, a part of the property, had been restored ; and how the garden had been bought piecemeal as fur ds permitted, so that the map of the old purchase in Shakspere's Lther's time would now pretty well serve as the map of the property secured to the public for ever. In the Museum are three copies of the earliest editions of Shakspere's works, each having a pre face as follows, facing a portrait of Shakepere " T o THE REAMER. " This figure that thou here seest put, It was fur gentle Shakspere cut; Wherein the graver hath a strife With Nature, to outdo the life ; 0, could he but have drawn his wit As well in brasse, as he hath hit His face, the print would then surpasse 411 that was ever writ in brasse. But sinco he cannot, reader, Tooke Not on his picture, but his bookie." FASHIONS FOR AUGUST, (From Le Follet.) We must no longer seek for fashion in Paris—the fickle goddess is to be found in the chateaux or at the watering places, but her reign there is as despotic as in the capital. Foulard is still a favourite, and just now barege and oham bery gauze are much worn ; also a charming material called Indian gauze, is tusad for demi-toilet. Dresses of pique or batiste, simply ornamented with white or coloured braid, and with a little veste to match, are exceedingly useful. More elegant dresses, but still made with vestes, are of muslin or batiste trimmed with guipure, Valenciennes, em broidery, or ribbon bows. The square fichu is that decidedly preferred to be worn with low-bodied summer evening dress. The ceinture is now one of the most important parts of the toilet. For young girls of slight figure nothing can be more becoming than the Swiss ceinture, embroidered and trimmed with lace or ruches of ribbon, worn over a white chemisette. Bands of thick plain ribbon are quite the order of the day. Wide square buckles are worn with them. Muslin shawls and camails, trimmed with insertion and flounces of lace, are in vogue. The richest are lined with taffetas; others, more simple, are trimmed with festooned flounces or ball fringe, an insertion over ribbon being placed all round. Some half-fitting casaques are also made of muslin with embroidered seams. This season white tarlatan is much used for trimming taffetas. It seems a strange fancy, but when well arranged it has a'good effect. But the best way of making our readers acquainted with la mode is to proceed to our description of dresses. A straw-coloured lawn dress : at the bottom of the skirt, a plaited flounce about five inches wide, and upon each plait a coquille of black lace partly on the skirt. A small vests of the same material as the dress, trimmed round with black lace ; opened in front, but attached by pattes, which cross over a waistcoat of batiste, with insertion and Valenciennes lace forming a jabot, and also placed round the barques. A dress of white alpaca ; the bottom of the skirt cut in very deep festoons, and edged with a wide cerise ribbon. This trimming is rounded off, and carried up the side as far as the waist. A narrow flounce is placed over the ribbon round the festoons. Ceinture corselet, with Basques Direc toire made of cerise taffetas and embroidered with jet, With this elegant dress is worn a high body and long sleeves of muslin bouillonnee, and cross-barred with narrow cerise velvet. A spotted muslin dress, over sky-blue tarlatan; a flounce about six inches wide trimmed with guipure, and headed with a magnificent insertion, which is carried up each seam in horse-shoe form to the height of a quarter of a yard. A postilion veste, trimmed in the same style. Underneath a Swiss ceinture of blue taffetas, with very long and wide ends falling behind. A robe of white foulard : the skirt trimmed round with a wide band of blue taffetas, edged on each side with a quilling, and embroidered will white silk. A small collet to match, and a jockey hat of leghorn, trimmed with a whito feather and blue bow, complete this toilet. A white muslin dress, with a plaiting and revers, about five inches wide, round the bottom of the skirt and up each side of the seams, gradually diminishing in width. These revers are embroidered and placed over pink. The veste and sleeves trimmed to match. A robe of pointed muslin, the body full at the waist : ceinture of lilac gauze, with a satin edge trimmed with black lace. The bottom of the skirt trimmed with a quilling of the same ribbon, covered with black lace. THE MURDER AND SUICIDE IN SOMERS TOWN. —The hatchet which was discovered in the water butt at the house where this tragedy was exacted has been sent to Dr. Harley to be examined, in order to see if certain marks upon it are stains of blood. It was also believed, from other signs, that it was not thrown into the water butt until some time after the murder. Upon Brown's coat are several spots, believed to be blood, as well as hairs from the woman's head. The deeds referred to at the coroner's inquest, which the man Brown was stated to have handed to his son, George James Brown, and which are endorsed with the name of "Rosetta Bishop," the mur dered woman, have been handed over to the police. They relate to property which had been given to her by the elderly gentleman who visited her, and whom the old cause of quarrel. N c L N.—We see that the woman Loader said she call e d h er unc l e.

We have known the facts about the transaction for some time, but have re frained from speaking them. As the newspapers are now stating some of the facts, we will give the whole. Soon after one of the most desperate and sanguinary battles Mr Lin coln visited the commanding General and the army. While on his visit the commanding general with his staff took him over the field in a carriage, and explained to him the plan of the battle, and the particular places where the fight was most fierce. At one point the commanding general said " Here on this side of the road 500 of our brave fellows were killed, and just on the other side of the road 400 more were slain, and right on the other side of that wall 500 rebels were de stoyed. We have buried them where they fell." "I de clare," said the President, "this is getting gloomy. Let us drive away." After driving a few rods the President said " This makes a feller feel gloomy. Jack" (speaking to a companion) "can't you give us something to cheer us up P Give us a song, and give us a lively one." Thereupon Jack struck up, as loud as he could bawl, a comio negro song, which ho continued to sing while they were riding off from the battle ground. and till they approached a regi ment drawn up, when the commanding general eaid " Mr President, wouldn't it be well for your friend to cease his song till we have passed this regiment ? The poor fellows have lost more than half of their numbers. They are feeling very badly, and I should be afraid of the effect that it may have on them." The President then asked his companion to stop his singing till they got by that regi ment. We are aware that this story is incredible; it is impossible that a President of the United States could so conduct himself over the fresh-made graves of the heroic dead. But, nevertheless, the story is such on such autho rity that we know it to be true,—Essex (America) States man. TAKE CARE OF THE CHILDREN.—That children are so much left to the care of servants in so many families of the middle classes, is perhaps in many cases un avoidable. Nevertheless, it is a great evil. However at tentive and conscientious servants may be, and even allowing them to possess the necessary intelligence, it can not be expected that their efforts can ever fulfil the office of the loving, watchful eye of the mother. It has been ob• served that children who are attended to by their mother, who aro undressed and put to bed by her, who open their eyes in the morning to behold her cheerful face and loving looks, who by her are dressed, and kept under her tender and judicious care throughout the day, are, as a rule, tar more good-tempered, healthy, and intelligent than rush as are lett almost wholly to the care of servants. In addition to this, it should be borne in mind that the accidents which so frequently happen to children, and by which they are often crippled, maimed, or rendered idiotic , m ostl y arise from the negligence of those in whose care they are left by inconsiderate mothers. Parents who love their children. and are solicitous for their welfare, should give these con siderations their earnest attention, for they are tounded upon facts of the uLuost importance in relation to domestic happiness and well-being.—Old Jonathan.

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

THE ROYAL SOVEREIGN. The iron-eased turret ship Royal Sovereign, Cap tain Sherrard Osborn, C. 8., arrived in Portsmouth harbour on Saturday from her short cruise outside the Isle of Wight, on which she started from off Osborne immediately after the visit of her Majesty to the ship on Thursday evening. The return of the ship to Portsmouth harbour is solely owing to orders given some time since by the Admiralty to place her in dock at the earliest opportunity, in order to remove the band of zinc which is now fixed round the ship below the water-line and between the armour . ..plating and the Muntz metal sheathing on the ship's bottom, and substitute in lieu of it a wooden band, on a plan which has been approved by the Admiralty. It is also understood that a peculiar not expensive, which has been brought under the n Captain Coles, will be applied experimentally to that por ti on o f the ship' s otic e of kind the Admiralt yosimple in application and f cement , by armouraplating below the water-line. If successful, the experiment may probably help materially in the solution of the problem lately referred to by Lord Clarence Paget in the Rouse of Commons— how to preserve and keep clean the bottoms of iron ships on service in tropical waters. The Royal Sovereign's necessarily short cruise, from which she miles south of St. Catharines, in a parallel line extended to about 20 returned on Saturday, only with the Isle of Wight, quitelar enough from the land to test her rolling properties had the wished for breeze been met with; butalthough a nice sum. mer Channel breeze, south-westerly, was found, it was accompanied with no great swell, and a greater ein their ship under roli could not be got out of the ship th en 5 deg. however, was seen to give the officers h er w s ordi naryevery circumstances at sea, and it is evidently un necessary to wish for any further confidence to be placed in the sea behaviour of a craft which after all is only a conversion, and is merely being used as a floating means of testing Captain Cowper Coles's principle of working monster ordnance on board ship by means of revolving platforms protected by cylindrical armour. The Royal Sovereign, in fact, must be viewed from three distinct positions, to which reference will be made after concluding our notice of the short cruise from which she has just returned. It was an important point to test the ship under steam off the land, for it will be remem bered that on her first preliminary run outside Partsmouth harbour the steam pipes of two of her boilers gave way at their junction in the stop valve boxes ; and, with this object in view, Capt. Osborn caused the guns to be fired in every position the ship assumed under the influence of her engines and the motion given to her by the wind and sea, and the communications between the steam pipe and boilers remained in their normal condition, thus proving that the expansion joints which had been applied in Portsmouth dockyard were fully equal to the service for which they were fitted, and would prevent any recurrence of a similar accident to the one referred to. The low angles of 5 deg- to which the ship only reached in her rolling motion pre vented Capt. Osborn and Capt. Coles from testing the working of the turrets and guns in as severe a manner as they wished, but no perceptible differ ence in the revolving of the turrets or the working of the guns was noticed by the men employed. In the firing, two rounds were first used on Friday in scaling the guns, and afterwards 93 rounds were fired from them with solid cast iron shot and 351 b. and 401 b. charges, according to the elevation of the guns. There was not the slightest hitch throughout. The tables on which the turrets and guns stand re volved as freely, and the guns worked as easily and controllably as during the two days' practice on Tuesday and WedneEdAy last in St. Helen's Roads, and there was also the same absence of concussion or smoke inside the turrets or on the lower deck. If the shots fired by the Royal Sovereign on Friday are compared with the shots fired by the American monitors in their grand attack upon Charleston in m Federal Royal Sovereign 1863, and if the English monitors two previous days' tests in firing at anchor be also taken into p r l o e ved has a been cide v d ery suc t c a e i s r s ly ; and this is a m nd ay further into the somewhat foolish controversy of batteries" than to ob. serve that t v t . h b e ro l a 2 d - s to id o e o ships' inch gun has been fired in the Channel from a central battery on board a ship, whereas it has not from a ship's broadside battery. In the grand attack upon Charleston the mounting 23 guns between ninet 2 h 6 e . in all, and the greatest number of shots fired by an— onl only firedi3 ironclads, 9 sh 0 t 8 y one vessel was only fired on Friday 20 shots per gun from her five guns, and at different angles and degrees of elevation, the highest elevation being 18 degrees, an extent of elevation which can be at tained by the guns of no other ship in her Majesty's navy, whether mounted on the broadside or pivoted on the upper deck. r ev erting to the three - distinct positions from which we stated the Royal Sovereign must be viewed by th e general public, it is necessary that this part of the question should be thoroughly un derstood in order that no erroneous impressions may take their hold on the public mind. These three positions are-1. The hull of the ship ;2, the turrets and their motive Power ; 3, the guns. For the first and third the Admiralty and War Depart ment are alone responsible. For the second Capt. Coles alone is responsible. We have said enough to prove that Capt. Coles's part in the work has been we ll and satisfactorily performed. With regard to the ship's hull and her guns, a little more remains to be said. In the first place, what ever her behaviour may eventually prove to be at sea, the Royal Sovereign is, after all, but an adapted means of floating turrets and guns so as to test the practicability of the system afloat. The hull undoubtedly draws too much Water —that is, swims too deeply—to be of service in shallow waters ;it has too much breadth, and expo ses an unnecessary area of upper-deck planking to a Plunging fire ; but these and other objections which might be urged against the hull of the Royal Sovereign are matters which concern only the Admiralty and the public, but not Captain Coles. The ship was selected by the Admiralty for a most important experiment, and it would be rashness, at the very least, to say that the selection was injudicious, Whatever faults of hull the Royal Sovereign may now possess. The ship's guns are a more serious matter to deal with. The four turret guns of the Royal Sovereign each weigh 12 tons, and have each a bore the diame ter of which is 10 inches: They are coil-built, but are simply smooth-bore guns, throwing g a spherical castiron shot of 1501 b with 351 b of powder as is full" charge, or with 401 b of powder as a " distant" charge. Now, it is evident that from this 12-ton gun, with its 101 in. diameter of bore, bat a miser able return is got with a 1501 b. cast iron shot. The fact is, the guns of the Royal Sovereign should be made by some simple mode of rifling to throw 3001 b. cast iron shell for any en gagement with wooden ships, and steel shot and shell of the same weight for the benefit of ironclads. It is asserted, however, that the Royal Sovereign's guns will only stand as smooth bores, and that any attempt to rifle them can only end in their destruction. This as sertion reduces the question of the Royal Sove reign's efficiency to a very narrow Compass. If she has to wait for her rifled 300-pounders (or 600. pounders, as the case may be) to be manufactured, then the ship should be at once supplied With steel shot to some extent, however small, in order toren der her present armament of smooth bore guns of some use against the iron coat of an adversary. At the present moment there is not one steel shot or shell on board the ironclad fleet, of her Majesty's navy, which is therefore thus, however efficient may be its powers of defence, harmless in powers of offence against any similarly protected adversary. Archeological Institute ofGreat Britain and Ireland. WARWICK, Saturday. The leading business of to-day was an excursion to Charlecote and Stratford-on-Avon. Previous to the excursion, however, there was a meeting at the Court-house here for the reading of papers. Four papers were set down in the programme, but, in consequence of their length, only two were read, when the hour of departure for Stratford arrived. These were 1. "On the Life and Times of John de Strat ford," by the Dean of Chichester. 2. " Boscobel, and the Escape of Charles II," by the Rev. G. Dodd. Early in the afternoon the majority of the mem bers, accompanied by a number of ladies, proceeded by road to Stratford-on-Avon, calling on the way at Charlecote-park, the seat of the Lucy family, who, as everybody knows, are descendants ,of the Sir Thomas Lucy whose name is so intimately Imo* ciated with the life of Shakspere. The house is an Elizabethan mansion. The hail contains a large number of portraits of the Lucy family, and in the library is a portait of the Lord Keeper Coventry by Vandyck, given by himself to a Lucy. The church was rebuilt a few years since by Mrs Lucy, and the monuments of the three Sir Thomas Lucys are pre served in the new building. From Charlecote the party travelled four miles further along a well wooded and fertile country to Stratford, where they arrived about four o'clock. It was rather a notable coincidence that the excur sion of the Archmologists to the birth and burial place of Shakespeare should have happened on the last day of the sale of the remnants of the tercen tenary celebration. The sale had been going on nearly all the week, and the auctioneer had just knocked down his last lot as the arch mological pil grims from Warwick arrived at the Shakespearean shrine. Of course the visitors inspected all the "lions" of the place, beginning with the church, so pleasantly placed on the banks of the " soft flowing Avon," as this river has been not inaptly described, though its waters were to-day rippled into tiny waves by a fresh westerly breeze, which rustled cheerily among the fine elm trees that bor• der the churchyard, and caused the willows on the banks of the classic stream to show the grey lining of their copious foliage. The church and its monuments have been too often described to leave anything new to be said of them. The Shakespeare bust (which has recently been painted in colours) stands against the north wall of the chancel, an enduring monument to the greatest of England's poets. Thousands upon thousands, not only of Englishmen and English women, but inhabitants of far distant lands, have gazed upon it and silently acknowledged the great gifts of him whose memory it perpetuates and whose lineaments it is believed faithfully to pour tray. The church had only just been cleared of an excursion party of workpeople from the busy mid land metropolis, when they were succeeded by the more learned visitors. The following is an exact copy of the inscription beneath the bust Judieio Pylivm, genio Socratem, arto Maronem Terra tegit, popvlvs mcaret, Olympvs habet. Stay passenger, why goest thov so fast ? Read, if thou canst, whom envious death hath pleat Within this monvment, Shakspere with whome Qvick natvre dide : whose name doth desk ys tombs Far more than cost : sith all yt he hath writt Leaves living art bvt page to serve his Witt. Obiit ano Doi, 1616. Etatis 53, die 23 Ap." _ _ _ Mr. BERESFORD HOPE (the party having assem bled in the chancel) reminded his audience that this was no c)rninon parish church, but a collegiate church. Its length was 197 feet, being longer than Coventry church. Mc recver, it was a cross church, and must have been arranged, looking to the chan cel, for a large body of clergy. He called upon the vicar to give some account of its foundation. The Rev. G. GRANVILLE thereupon said that in the time of John de Stratford, respecting whom so interesting a paper had been read that looming by Dr. Hook, this church had a dean and four priests, and as at that time the population was not equal to the number of priests the latter were employed in visiting the neighbouring parishes. The deanery was done away with in the time of Henry VIII., and the revenues were placed in the bands of the corporation, who from that time paid certain stipends to the vicar and chaplain. The living was now only parochial. About 30 years ago the church was restored. The galleries, though objectionable in an archaeological point of view, were less so than any other church galleries that he had ever seen. The door on the north side of the chancel, near Shak pere's monument, was the entrance to the charnel house, which had been pulled down some time ago. That part of the church in which they were assem bled was built in the 15th century, but the tower and transept were of much earlier date. Mr SEVERN WALKER, secretary to the Wor cester Diocesan Architectural Society, said the diocess of Worcester (in which Stratford is situate) did not possess many fine parochial churches, but this was one. As the vicar had told them, this was a collegiate as well as a parochial church. There were originally two altars—the parochial altar, at the east end of the south side, and the col legiate altar, in the usual place, the east end of the chancel. He pointed out the fact that the columns supporting the nave arcade are not octagonal, but hexagonal, He also pointed out three panels in front of the west window as being rather unusual. The spire was modern, but copied from the old sage. Mr. BERESFORD HOPE havi❑g asked for some information respecting the colouring of the monu ment to Shakspere, The Rev. G. GRANVILLE said the reason he had, in conjunction with his fellow townsmen, for restor ing the monument to its original colour was that they conceived the monument ought to bear as much as possible the stamp and character of the time when it was pieced there. He did not mean to say that as it was the monument was better than in stone colour, bat the object was to have it re. stored to its original appearance. He himself saw the work done. The monument was taken down, put into a tub of water and chemicals, and the whitewash washed off it. In this process some of the paint was slightly rubbed off, and where this was done it was carefully repainted. They simply cleaned it of its whitewash. He was aware that this work had been much canvassed, but he believed there were now only one or two persons of opinion that they had done wrong in removing the wash that covered the old paint. The next move was to the vestry, where the parish registers were shown. From the uniform appear. mice of the writing the register appears to be a copy. The entries of the baptism and death of Shakspere are entered as follows : " Births. " 15G4—April 26.—Gulielams filius Johannis Shakspear." "Deaths. " 1616—April 25.-IVill. Sbakspeore, gent." The name of the bard, it will be seen, is spelt differently in the two entries. The Chapel of the Holy Cross in the middle of the town was next visited, and the ruins of New-place hard by, which are walled in and preserved. The foundations, which show the ground plan of the building where Shakspere breathed his last, are bared. Shakspere's birthplace in Henley-street was the last place visited, and some time was spent in its examination. The walls of the room in which the poet was born are still covered with autographs, among which is that of Sir Walter Scott. Lord Byron's was once there, but cannot now be traced. The attendant informed the visitors that this prac tice of scribbling on the wall was now forbidden, but, in fact, the veto is unnecessary, for there is no vacant space for another name. The Museum is fast increasing. In it are to be seen Shakspere's signet ring, his school desk, and the inden. ture of his purchase of New-pli4c.:. Here ulso is the olio P' )0 1 10,
