The Herald() mentions an on dit that the English Government has offered his lordship a military command in the East. The 28th ult. being Sunday, the Stock Exchange was not open. The Parlamento of Turin quotes letters from Messina, of the 22d ult., announcing that many political arrests have taken place there. A correspondent at Naples writes, under date of the 28th ult. :—" Our season has ended in a brilliant manner by a ball and supper at the hos pitable mansion of Lord and Lady Holland. In a few days the neighbouring villas will be occupied. The King's brothers, Counts of Syracuse and Aquila, are at Sorrento. Lady Strachan at Posilipo ; Lord and Lady Holland, and Lord Vernon, have villas at Ischia. Capo di Monte and Castellamare are in vogue as usual. The King and Royal family pass a month at Gaeta, and then go for July to Ischia ; a marriage is on the tapir for the young Duke of Calabria with a cousin of the Empress of Austria, and will probably be solemnised next spring, when the hereditary Prince will have attained his 20th year. The last steamers carried away Lord and Lady Emily Dungarvan, Sir Augustus and Lady Clifford and daughters, Mrs. Loch, and Lady Burghesh, kc." We learn by a letter from Naples that the Sicilia steamer arrived on the 24th ult., and that the crew were immediately examined in the matter of the loss of the Ercolano. It was believed the Sicilia would lie under sequestration until the con clusion of the judicial proceedings, but in conse quence of security having been given to the com pany of the Ercolano to abide the issue of a trial, she is to be allowed to ply as before. - - - - (Before Mr. Baron Alderson, Justices Coleridge and Crowder, and Baron Martin.) THE QUEEN V. LIGLETON. This was au appeal against a conviction at the Yarmouth Borough Sessions. Mr. Bodkin appeared to support the indictment. It appeared that Eagleton is a baker, at Yarmouth, and had been convicted of fraud at those orough Sessions for having defrauded, by short weight, the poor, whom he had contracted with a parish in that district to supply with bread, the poor being supplied with tickets, upon the re• ceipt of which he gave them loaves. There were above 50 cases against him. The point upon which the appeal was sent here was that the offence was not a fraud to be tried by criminal law, but was a breach of contract. Their lordships, after hearing the discussion, said the case was of so much importance that it should be argued and decided by all the judges. Deferred until neat term.

Corry's he line, 'h fleet (From the Mining Journal of this day. ) We have had a very active market this week, and pur chases to a large amount have been made in several mines, but particularly in West and in North Basset. Shares in the former have reached 251. 103. ' and the latter, owing to the discovery which we noticed last week, and which ap pears to be of even greater importance than supposed, rose from 10/. to 161. per share. This fact shows that when dis coveries are made there is no lack of money, or of disposition on the part of the public to inve ,t in good and legi.imate speculations. The furor for gold mining in California and Aus tralia withdrew large sums of money from home mines, but this having ended, as we predicted it would, in a loss of at least 1,000,0001. sterling, it is to be hoped now that more regard will be shown for English mining, and more attention paid to their management by the general body of share holders, who at present appear to leave matters too much under the control of pursers and agents. We should advo cate offices of reference in London for all mining companies, where should be filed regularly a correct financial state ment, for the use of shareholders. This would prevent a recurrence of disappointments, such as haveof late been but too frequent, and greatly injurious to mining in Cornwall. In the Bullion Market,—Mexican and South American dollars, ss. 14d. to ss. lad. per oz. nominal. Bsr silver con taining gold, all gold above 5 grs. in the pound to be paid or, ss. lid. per oz. standard. Bar silver without gold, ss. lid. per oz. standard. Bar gold, 775. 9d per oz. stand. The accounts which have come to hand from Australia are most diffuse. The colonists appear to believe that most of the speculations which were started here for gold mining in New South Wales and Victoria are only delu sions; and the local journals state "the true vein whence gold was to be extracted ran through the pockets of the public." A meeting has been held in Sydney of an asso ciation called the Turon Golden Ridge Company. The projectors of this company, it appeared, sold 20,000 shares, at tbe deposit of ss. per share. Of this number 6000 were retained by themselves, at the cost of 1,500/. They otin then in. creased the number of the shares' to 30,000, allg to themselves 10,000 by way of a bonus ; the public sub scribed then for 13,000, paying it. each. Shares being in the market, many of the original allottees sold out. Ac cording to the division if wound up, those who subscribed 1,5001. will receive 3.0001., while the outsiders who paid 13,0001, will lose 9,0001. It is stated that the success depends much upon that of the Great Nugget Vein Com pany, whose shares, it may be remembered, were issued here at a heavy premium. The sale by Matthews of the Lake Bathurst land is severely commented upon, and judg ing from the tenour of the remarks freely used in the colonies, it would appear that gold mining adventurers there are in still greater discredit than here, could that be possible; but with the local knowledge they should possess, it seems incomprehensible that parties who were on the spot should have allowed themselves to be so deluded, as it would seem they were, by the promoters of the associa tion above referred to. The general appearance of the gold fields is more satisfactory than it was some period since, and individual diggers are reported to be doing well. It must, however, be borne in mind that, while the public are kept informed of the successes, the misadventures are not so readily published. Tue fa vourite spot now is Tarringower. about 25 miles from liendigo. Here there are several gulleys, one of them not being inappropriately named " Growler's Gulley," on account of the numerous disputes which have taken place between the commissioners and the miners. One nugget has been raised weighing lu6 ozs., and as much as 43 lbs. of gold got out of one load of washing stuff. A township is to be establishe l there called Maldon. At Bryant's Ranges great activity, it is anticipated, will reign during the winter and spring. A new field has been opened at Otneo, in the district of Maneroo, which has drawn about 000 diggers from the Ovens. dold fields are wanted in New Zealand, Swan River, South Australia, and a party has been sent out prospecting in Van Diemen's Land without success hitherto. A fine nugget was brought into Sydney from Ophir, weighing 2$ lbs ; it was dug up by a party of four. who had obta;ned 100 lbs. in 11 days. At Braidwood, the miners are doing well, obtaining 50 ozs., 281 ozs. and 22 ozs. respectively. A party of 10 had sub scribed 1001. each to work out Ration Hill, on the Turon, which, it was supposed, was not yet exhausted. The nuggets at Bendigo and Ballarat have hitherto been the largest discovered ; at the latter place one of 624 ozs. was found. The prices of gold were—Sydney, 31. 17s. 3d. to 31. 17s. 61; Ovens, 31. 18s. 3d. to 31. 18s. 9d.; Port Philip, 31. 18s. 6d. to 31. 19s. .NEWGATE AND LEADENIIALL.

ROYAL INSTITUTE OF BRITISEE ARCHITECTS. EXCAVATIONS AT FOUNTAINS ABBEY. On Monday evening, at the meeting of the Royal Insti tute of British Architects—the Right Hon. the Earl de Grey, K.G., president, in the chair—some interesting drawings, casts, and objects from Fountains Abbey were exhibited, and an account of the extensive excavati o n s now in progress read by Thos. L. Donaldson Esq., secre tary of foreign correspondence. This account of the ex cavations was a series of letters addressed to the noble earl by a Ripon antiquary, who, along, with J. R. Walbran, Esq., of that place, has assisted in directing the excavators in their interesting employment. --An animated discussion afterwards took place respecting the probable use of some large earthenware vases which were discovered embedded in the solid masonry forming the base of an old screen that had crossed the nave of the church near its eastern extre mity. Several of the members of the institute concurred in the opinion of the earl's correspondent that these vases had been for some local use, which it is now impossible to ascertain ; but one gentleman present happening to men tion that a somewhat similar discovery bad been made in a church at Norwich, it is not improbable that at some future period, by analogy and comparison, their real use may be ascertained. The following is a list of the objects exhibited :—One of the original earthenware vases, fixed in the stone and mortar in which it is embedded. The cast of a figure of a female martyr saint, from a niche over the great north window of the tower, Fountains manyAbbeya—rs date, circa 1500. A cast of a beautiful early English holy water-stoup (c. 1230), taken from the a bbe y ago, and now used as the font in the chapel at Aldfield, village distant about a mile from the ruins. A cast of a very simple but beautiful early English bracket. Some small and curious lead ornaments of the decorated period. A cast of a shield, bearing an uninscribed label, and the initials, mitre and crosier of Abbot Huby (A.D. 1491-1526), the builder of the great tower at Fountains and many other works. An o, iginal and most beautiful alabaster sculp ture of the Assumption of the Virgin. A large plan of the Abbey Church, and several drawings illustrative of the improvements that have taken place in consequence of the I excavations. A vote of thanks to the noble earl for the I treat he had afforded the members of the institute was carried by acclamation We may further add, that though his lordship, in returning thanks, modestly denied any merit due to himself for the discoveries and excavations at his Abbey at Fountains, and generously ascribed all to his Ripon correspondent and others, he may with truth be styled the "Layard" of the English monasteries; for be it remembered that the full development of the ruins of Salley, in Craven, is due to his lordship's liberality and taste. The works at Fountains aro of the most extensive and complete description ; and it is to be hoped that the example set by the Earl de Grey will be followed by all proprietors of our monastic remains, or, in default thereof, by public societies.

EXPLOSION OF STEAM-COAL.—fuformation has reached Bristol of a serious explosion of coal, which has occurred on board a French vessel called the Bienfaisant, which has been lying in Swansea harbour taking in steam-coal. It seems that about 100 tons of fresh cut had been put on board, and, owing to its newness, the mate was ad vised to keep the hatchways open for a time to allow the discharged gas to escape. He, however, neglected this precaution, and fastened the hatchways down. The result was an explosion, which blew up the deck and slightly injured a third of the seamen on board. Th e event created quite a consternation in the harbour. The Bienfaisant was lying in the New-cut at the time the accident occurred. 7CONSOLIDATION OF THE CRIDIINAT;LAW.—The seven bills presented to the House of Lords by the Lord Chan cellor are for consolidating and amending the criminal law of England relating to—(1) burglary, housebreaking, sacrilege, breaking into and stealing in shops and other builrlings ; (2) malicious injuries to property ; (3) forgery ; (4) piracy and dealing in slaves ; (5) offences concerning the coin and the marking of gold and silver wares ; (6) offences against the public peace, and ad ministering or taking oaths to commit offences punish • able with death or transpoitation for life, and sending threatening letters ; and (7) offences concerning trade, c° l 4. l3 ler_ce, awl public communication. 18 11i all all all 81261 6 25 50 20 5 11 is 20 20 10 10 21251 100 100 100 100 all 100 all 15 2/ 5 2F1 all 20 20 20 25 dis 69 84 12 50i 50 10 9 Antwerp&Rotterdam 31 3 d 5 3 Belgian Eastn.

We have good news to tell from the seat of war. We , - /,\ don't mean the gallant feat o f C apta i ns Yelverton and Hall at Lkness, or the increasing pe r pl ex i t i es of R uss i nalonz the whole circle of her western frontier, but a victory ovec the only foe our soldiers have yet had to encounter. The " stock" has fallen, the hot effulgenc e o f th e h e l met b ids " 'f*- fair to be subdued, and the whole of the uniform will V4/" . "‘ soon be reduced to common sense. Hitherto the campaigze, though bloodless, has been disastrous. The returns of thi " fainted" on parade are serious ; marches of three or four miles are attended with frightful casualties, a large pro• portion f a lli ng o ut, and only dropping in, if at all,. hours after muster. After a review file after file disap pears, if, indeed, they have ever been able to present themselves. The enemy more formidable as yet than the lance of the Cossack or the Minie rifle is the uniform ' and pack. Men are strangulated by the stiff leathern garotte that prevents the return of the blood from the head; their brains are baked in the oven that encloses their skulls; they are pilloried by the huge package that hangs from their shoulders, or, rather, that refuses to hang quietly from them, and no strait-waisteoast ever restrained the most mischievous patient more effectually than their ill-made coat. Hence the fatal consequences of marching, and the ill-success on parade. When it comes to actual fightiug, and the fire of the enemy is added to the folly of the Horse Guards, we tremble for the result, and only hope it may be true, as we hear on every side, that on actual service the British soldier sets the Commander-in- Chief at defiance, and re-arranges his dress on a working model. For the good news we promised our readers we must refer to the replies of Mr. Sidney Herbert to some questions last night. The stock is to be discarded; the helmet, if retained, is to be covered with white linen, other changes are vaguely alluded to, and it is even whispered that the soldier on march may be ex cused a quarter of an hour's fresh morning air hitherto devoted to the operations of the razor. The attention of Lord Raglan has been called to this subject, and he will be regulated in the matter by the results of experience, never before, as it appears, brought to bear on the question. It is not, indeed, very satisfactory that we have waited till the army we have to dress is at a distance of four thou sand miles from its tailors. A man prepares for a Swiss tour in Regent-street, if he is wise, and does not put it off till he is half-way up the Faulhorn, where his only resource, if it is a hot day, and he is a tolerably stout man, will be to hand his coat, waistcoat, hat, neckcloth, knapsack, Murray, and spirit flask t o hi s gu id e . Th ere a re days in the the year when the Parade in St. James's Park is as hot as Gallipoli, and when it is quite possible to Ca* cover the weak p o i n t s o f a soldier's dress and acooutrements. With what quiet humour would Herodotus relate that the Gauls and the Hyperboreans from the Tin Islands sent an army to the Thracian Chersonesus and Byzantium, who found the region rather warmer than they expected, and were obliged to dispense with some of _their apparel I Yet, in this country w e are ra th er remarkable for the great dexterity and little scruple with which we adapt our dr ess and our ways to our occupations. A gentleman and his gamekeeper do their twenty miles over all sorts of ground —fallow, ploughed, boggy, stubble, turnips, underwood comes alike, carrying guns and game-bags, and with no other physical result than an appetite for dinner. r.;They are prepared for all weathers, and neither sun, nor wind, nor cold, nor rain takes them by sur prise. Why not have regiments of gamekeepers, with just a few strips of colour to show the game they are in search of? Men should dress for war as sensibly as a carpenter or a coalheaver dresses for his work. The Roman soldier had his limbs tree, and not an ounce more than was absolutely necessary, though his burden was not a light one. You may see him still in the has reliefs of Trajan's Column, with his blouse and his trousers fluttering in the wind. It is only our cumbrous civilisation, and our gene ral system of doing everything on the grandest and most expensive scale, that exaggerate dress beyond its natu ra l uses. Mod ern taste rejects everything that is superfluous in civil costume, and laughs at the fantasies of semi-bar barous tribes; yet no tribe but ours is so barbarous as to load a marching and fighting man with materials that can only fetter his feet and manacle his arms If there is any country in the world that ought to adapt its dress to the climate, it is ours. The ever-changing temperature of these isles, and perhaps, to some extent, the great variety of races that make up the Briton, pro duce a being equally capable of living, flourishing, and working in either arctic or torrid zone. But, though the delicate structure of our bodies may adapt itself to these changes, it seems the dress of the soldier will not. We suspect it will be foiled that the dress of the soldier employed, possibly, to recover Finland for the Swedes, will be the same as that of his comrade now sweltering at Scutari. Even savages don't fall into such errors, unless we mislead them. The young New Zealanders, their newly-arrived Bishop informs us, catch colds, and die wholesale, by wearing summer and winter the blankets supplied to them by the English. They live by turns in a vapour bath and in a cold air bath, just as they may happen to be carrying their huge blankets on their shoulders. We are only just unlearning the same folly. The Secretary-at-War tells the House of Com mons that the Commander-in-Chief is collecting pat terns of the uniforms and accoutrements of different armies in Europe. For the first time it seems to dawn. upon us that we may learn something from our neigh bours, and that what may snit one climate may not suit another. If the Commander-in-Chief would send a sample of every uniform to the Crystal Palace, with a paper attached to each stating the weight and other particulars, he would assist the public to some idea of military costume better than they can now acquire from the four o'clock parade at the Horse Guards, or the figures in the sentryboxes at the British Museum, Our soldiers dress more absurdly than many others in the world because the mass of our people see no other ; for public opinion, were it better informed, would soon pick out the best specimen before it. Nowhere is foppery so out of place as in the ministers of death • nowhere so dan gerous as in our national protectors. We have no doubt the day will come when the eccentricities of modern utile forms will be thought even more ridiculous than the va garies into which the medimval armourers used to run, and to which knights used to submit, we presume, for fashion's sake. The knight's armour, however, was at least some protection, and saved its wearer from spears and arrows, if not always from being smothered; that is more than can be said of the work of the modern army Mr. Sidney Herbert announced in the House of Com mons last night that Lord Raglan has it in contemplation to dispense with the stock, and to make other alterations in the dress of the troops, with a view to render it better adapted to the climate in which they are at present serving. This is to far satisfactory, but the friends of the soldier ought not yet to relax their exertions. "A 1 tera tions in dress" do not include the great nuisance of a needlessly heavy kit, under which the strength of the sol dier is broken down. Also, Mr. S. Herbert, when pressed on the question of shaving, could only say that Lord Rag lan's attention had been called to it. Now, it may safely be predicted that the amateur barber taste of our military au thorities is the last out of which they will be badgered, ex cept perhaps their amateur tailor Last.% Any practice which it has cost a man great study and continuous exertion to perfect himself in, he desists from with reluctance, even after its inutility or absurdity has been demonstrated. The perfection to which the art of shaving is now carried in the British army is the result of king and not always very humane discipline. The men have been taught to shave close by expedients almost as cruel as those by which a bear is taught to dance. We could name a regiment, the commander of which used regularly to inspect the chins of his men at morning parade, and the slightest roughness detected was sure to lead to a call upon the regi mental barber to shave the delinquent on the spot without soap or water—a most painful operation for the sufferer. The smooth chins produced by long years of such inflic tions will not willingly be relinquished by our martinets. It will be as difficult a task to unlather our soldiers' chins as it was to brown the barrels of their muskets ' • for the smooth chin and the bright barrel are the fruits of the same puerile and effeminate taste among the officers.—Daily Sews. A FLOATING WORKSHOP. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,-It might, perhaps, interest some of your readers to know of a very judicious step which the Admiralty have taken to provide speedy means of effecting repairs of the machinery of any of the engines of the Baltic fleet by having determined on equipping the Volcano steam frigate as a complete engineers workshop, to attend upon the fleet in the Baltic, and so carry the workshop alongside of any ship requiring repairs of its machinery, and so effecting such repairs then and there with all promptness. By the judicious arrangement of the Surveyor of the Navy, the first deck of the Volcano has been fitted so as to yield a most commodious workshop, 10 feet high from floor to roof, 104 feet long, by 30 feet wide, in which are placed most convenient arrangement a 12- horse power independent steam engine and boiler to sup ply power and m otion to the various machines and tools forming the equipment of this floating workshop, which tools and machinery consist of one very powerful turn ing lathe and three others of graduated capabilities, one powerful and one smaller planing machine, two boiler plate punching and shearing machines, four drilling and boring machines, one Nasmyth's patent steam hammer, and four forges, one cupola capable of melting 30 cwt. of iron or brass for the execution of any casting of that or less weight, together with appropriate foundry appara tus and material ; one blowing fan to supply blast to the forges and foundry cupola, besides grindstones, vices, and all the minor implements, formingave anvil s,eyeom ple T te he a r n e d ca e n ffi b ci e en n t o engineerdoutbas that t is t la h ra is most eilt. convenient floating workshop will prove of the utmost value to the I have h t this vessel, had th e for honour to be entrusted with the service.equipment which I hav e sen t off the whole of the above-named machinery, n being fitted to the vessel in question, lyiangdfowrthhiaeth is s rp n o o s w e i s n ea th in e a roi e -a w l d d o a c y k s y . ard, Woolwich, and will be ready for Should you think a notice of this most practical and judicious proceeding authentic, of the Admiralty worthy of your attention, I shall feelthese a mu h ch en pleasure in having thus sup pliedtylc, particulars.—Believe me I am, your s most respectfully JAMESA Bridgew a t er F oun d ry, Patricroft,jES NABIIIITII. near Manchester, May 31.
