It is entirely devoted to desti tution in its most pitiable form—viz., that which is amora l:milled by sickness and disease, and is ow ot sufficient magnitude that, with adequate support it ma proportion ed capable of admitting into its wards a very large 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.

Mr. James S tansfeld, M.P., junior Lord of the Admiralty, paid a visit to Sheerness dockyard yesterday, in further prosecution of his inquiry into the system of dockyard book-keeping. The different officers of the dockyard were examined by Mr. Stansfeld, in the Captain Superinten dent's office. VV The armour-plated ship Caledonia, launched from Wool with dockyard, and afterwards placed in the Victoria Docks, on account of the delay occasioned to the works at the en trance of the basins at Woolwich, was yesterday undocked and towed down to Sheerness to be completed for sea. The whole of the supernumerary seamen on board the Fisgard at Woolwich, 85 in number, navigated the Caledonia down to Sheerness for transfer to the guardship of steam reserve Cumberland, for distribution. On the return of the working party from Victoria dock to 'Woolwich a fatal accident hap pened to John Smith, aged 40, a leading stoker attached to the Fisgard, and recently paid off from the Ardent sloop. It appears that the steamtug Bustler had been sent up to Blackwall pier from Woolwich, to bring back the men who had been employed on the Caledonia, Smith was playing with his comrades when he fell between the pier and the vessel, and was drowned, the tide flowing rapidly in at the time. Immediate search was made for the body, but without success. The Caledonia was taken out of the dry dock at Woolwich on Sept. 28, and has since that period received the whole of her engines and boilers of 1000-horse power, and weighing 850 tons, from Messrs. Maudslay's works. In consequence of her draught of water, which is about 32ft, she could not be received in the dockyard basins at Deptford or Sheerness, she being of greater draught than the basins would admit. The Caledonia is of the same class as the Royal Oak, the only eifference being that the engines of the Caledonia are of 200-horse power more than those of the Royal Oak, and the build of the Caledonia is of much greater strength. The backing of the armour plates of the Caledonia is composed of 8 inches of teak planking, which also forms the external planking of the ship. The backing is firmly bolted to the usual frame timbers, 121 in. square, near the ports, and is composed of English oak. The clamps or internal planking of the ship, are also of teak 8 in. thick, Great care has been taken in the Caledonia to give unusual strength to the fabric, and several new and useful mechani cal arrangements have been perfected by Messrs. Turner and Thornton, the principal shipwright officers of Woolwich yard. Among others may be enumerated the diagonal iron riders, which are placed on the outside of the frame timbers instead of in the inside, the better to resist the impact of shot on the armour. The space between the shelf pieces and water ways, generally a source of weakness, has been filled in solidly, and secured to the beams and frame tim bers. Great additional strength has also been given to the ship by means of an iron deck secured to the beams of the upper deck, underneath the usual wood deck of 4 inches thick. The main deck beams are of oak, 161 inches square, with deck planks of Dantsic oak 41 inches in thickness. The upper deck beams are of the Butteily Company's bulb iron. The port-lids are of iron secured with wrought iron hinges and bars with screw bolts and nuts. The ship is to be rigged with three masts, the lower masts to be of iron; the foremast 77 feet above the deck, and 36 inches in diameter ; the foretopmast 78 feet in length and 11 inches in diameter. The fore and main yards are 91 feet long and 22 inches in diameter, and the other masts and yards in proportion. bhe will be fitted with double topsail yards, together with the usual topgallant yards. The boats of the Caledonian will be armed with the usual Armstrong 20. pounders. They will consist of two launches, each 42 feet in length; two pinnaces, 32 feet in length; two cutters, 30 feet in length; one gig, 30 feet; one jolly boat, 16 feet; and one dingy, 14 feet long. The armour plates which have proved to be of excelent quality, were supplied by ►hree different manufactories, and at various rates, from £3O to ,0 per ton, some of the plates being hammered and others rolled. Messrs. Brown and Co., of the Atlas Works, Sheffield, and Messrs. Beale, of Rotherham, were the manufacturers of the hammered plates. It is stated that in working the plates the workmen at the dockyards have found the hammered plates to bo of the best quality of iron. The rolled plates were generally found to be of much softer texture. The Caledonia has been fitted with two towers on her upper deck for the officer of the watch and the captain and master to stand in during the time of action. These are considered to be preferable to the single tower with which the Warrior was supplied, as they are clear of the masts and tunnels, which obstruct the view from the single tower. These towers are to be plated with iron casing 41 inches thick, and are accessible through a scuttle from the main deck. The utmost care has been taken to make the Caledonia one of the strongest ships in the British navy, and the officers are of opinion that a gale as violent as that in which the Prince Consort suffered so severely would not affect the Caledouia under similar circumstances. To prevent the oxidation of the lower tier of armour plates from the galvanic action of the Muntz's metal two strakes of teak wood lining have been fitted, so that the lower edge of the plates is nearly 2 feet front the upper edge of the metal. Considerable disaffection prevails on board her Majesty's screw steam-frigate Liverpool, 39, Capt. Rowley Lambert, now in Plymouth Sound, which after her return from duty in the Mersey was taken to Devcnport and refitted. There is some difficulty in ascertaining the facts. It is stated that on Saturday last the ceew were employed in receiving coal. On Sunday afternoon, when their wives and families were below, the bugle sounded for ordinary duty, but the men did not answer the call. The officers went below, but could not succeed in inducing them to obey. On the contrary, some missiles were thrown at them. The captain then sent the marines below. On their appearance the crew went on deck, when they were asked to name their grievances if they had any. The petty officers were also asked to do so, but no distinct complaints were made. Subsequently, an anony mous letter was received by the captain complaining of in sufficient leave. When the men were called up all denied the authorship of the letter. A deputation of one man from every mess informed the captain that shortness of leave was the chief cause of the discontent. Ultimately, some four or five of the ringleaders were selected and placed in irons, and they are to be tried by court-martial. Port-Admiral Sir Chas. Fremantle, K.C.8., visited the ship on Wednesday. The sailing ship Gladiator yesterday commenced shipping 140 tons of ammunition in quarter barrels at the powder buoy, off Woolwich Arsenal, for the use of the Colonial Government and the troops in New Zealand. The Warrior, iron frigate, Capt. the Hon. A. A. Cochrane, C. 8., was docked at high water in the Warrior dock at Portsmouth yesterday. To-day, on the dock being freed of water, the condition of the composition (preservative and anti-fouling), and the experimental vitreous sheathing, with which she was coated when last in dock, will be examined nd officially reported upon by the dockyard officials. The King Arthur, sailing iron transport, Capt. Marshall, with the headquarters of the 55th Regiment on board, sailed from Spithead for Madras at 8 a.m. yesterday, with a fine northerly wind, The ship could not sail on the previous day as intended, in consequence of a strong S.E. gale. Her Majesty's ship Nile, with Vice-Admiral Sir A. Milne on board, was appointed to sail from Halifax to-day, the 12th inst., for Bermuda and the West Indies, to make her official round of visits prior to leaving for England. The Pylades was daily expected, on the 28th ult., to arrive at Halifax from the south, In consequence of the excessive rolling when at sea of her Majesty's screw steam frigate Emerald, 35, lately paid out of commission at Sheerness, orders have been received by the officials of that dockyard that she is to be fitted with bilge pieces on each side. She is now in the basin dismasted, and the necessary fittings will be completed before she is taken to her moorings in the harbour. Instructions have been received at Sheerness from the Admiralty stating that Messrs. Williams and Co, have pur chased the Amphion, 36, screw steam frigate, 1,474 tons, 30e horse power, belonging to the 3d division of the Sheer ness steam reserve, for the purpose of breaking her up. The purchase includes the fixtures and copper sheathing, en gines and boilers, A survey has recently been made of the fleet of mortar vessels laid up at Chatham, and two more of their number, viz., Nos. 104 and 108, have been selected to be sold out of the service.

" Candidates will be expect e d t o ac q u aint th emse l ves with, and to be prepared to reason upon, the circumsta nces by which the issue of the campaigns were mainly influenc e d ; for which purpose they should compare for themselves, to the fullest extent possible, the accounts of both sides. " The examination will be principally directed to elicit this knowledge rather than a ,mere narrative of facts." A revised and corrected list of regulations relative to the admission, education, and military training of gentlemen cadets at the Royal Military College at Sandhurst has been issued from the Horse Guards by Major• Gen. W. Forster, Military Secretary to Field - M arshal the Duke of Cam bridge, Commanding•in - Chie f, dated the Ist inst . , to be substituted for those now in force: which bear date the Ist of May last. The alterations made are so trivial and un important that it is quite unnecessary to give them in detail, for all the chief regulations for the examinations remain the same. The Adjutant-General, Sir James Yorke Scarlett, has recently issued a circular memorandum, addressed to the army at home and abroad, in reference to musketry re• gulations, wherein the Field-Marshal Commanding-in - Chief is pleased to desire that on home stations the annual course of musketry instruction shall henceforth commence on the 12th of March in each year, the non. commissioned officers being trained during the previous month, in the prescribed manner, for the purpose of assisting in the in struction of their respective companies. The Marquis of Hartingt( n and Sir Edward Lugard, K.C.8., Under-Secretaries of State for War, accompanied by Capt. Galion, R.E., Assistant Under Secretary of State, and Capt. Caffin, R.N., C. 8., Director of Stores, yesterday paid an official visit to the Military Store Department in the Tower, through which they were conducted by the military store officer in charge at the station. The hired sailing transport Empress, with military train and artillery on board for New Zealand, under the command of Col. B. O'Brien, 4th Battalion, Military Train, arrived at Spithead on Wednesday, in tow of her Majesty's steamer Medusa, having put in on her way down Channel to repair damages, caused by a collision with an unknown vessel at 9.50 p.m. on the previous day off Hastings. The repairs, which ara being carried out. by the dockyard authorities, will, it is expected, be completed this evening. The Em press will then resume her voyage in tow of the Medusa, which is ordered to convey the transport clear of the Channel.

"Let those who have good reasons on account of age, or infirmities, or for family motives to abstain from entering one or other of the above description of service in the Aus trian army, and who are without the means of independent existence at home, call for their pension, which we shall, as far as depends upon us, render as advantageous as possible to all those who may be so circumstanced.: "Neither will those officers who possess sufficient private fortune, and may desire to return home to join their fami lies, or to conduct their families home, nor the soldiers in especial, who, though robust, may choose to return home, thereby fail in their duties towards us. Let the lastmen tinned, however, remember that the usurping Government will probably oblige them to serve, to take an oath, will constrain them to become instruments of the barbarities which are daily committed upon their brother Italians in the south of the peninsula in great part soldiers faithful to their lawful King, for whom they are fighting with rare constancy; it will oblige them to hold also in subjection the population of the Pontifical States, of our States, and those of the other lawful Sovereigns of Italy who have shared our lot.

FAVERSHAM, Vara sday. Last night, at the annual meeting of the Favers ham Agricultural Association, Sir Edward Daring, t he recently elected Liberal member for East Kent, i n a speech of considerable length, adverted to several topics of public interest at the present time. The chair was occupied by Lord Sondes, and there were also present beside, Sir Edward Dering, Lord 'Janis, Sir Norton J. Knatchbull, the Hon. G. W. 11illee, and a large number of the yeomen and tenant farmers of the district. The reception given to Sir Edward Dering was very gratifying. The Hon. G. W. MILLEs proposed " The Health of the County Members," which was received with great cheering. Sir E. BERING, after alluding to one or two local topics, said—The legislation of the past session of Parliament has been more of a passive than an ec tivo nature (hear) ; and, gentlemen, so far as agri we may tak e i ts p resen t satis culture is concerne d, f ac tory state as a proof that it prospers best when it is most entirely left alone. (Hear.) The present sound and healthy state of agricultural interests shows that when the English farmer is put upon his mettle he is able not only to overcome all those difficulties which at times have threatened to over whelm him, but to place British agriculture in the proud position which it occupie s at present, and where, I trust, it will be ever maintained—at the head of the agricultural world. (Cheers.) But, gen tlemen, called upoe as we are to contend with the whole world, we have a right to demand that our farmers shall be allowed to carry or. their farming operations without being shackled by the restric tions imposed by the Excise authorities or by the Government—(cheers) —and I really believe the time is approaching when we may hope to have the privilege of malting our own barley for the purpose of fattening our own cattle. (Hear.) But, gentlemen, if this were only a producer's question we should not have so much chance of relief. It is not, how ever,so much a producer's as a consumer's question. If we could only show that by malting our own barley wo could feed our cattle upon it cheaper than we can at present, that would be the strongest argument that could be used in favour of a change in the law. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, I have one source of congratulation, and that is that our mann factoring and trading interests, in spite of the ex tent to which one of the most important branches of industry has been affected by the war in America, are in such a prosperous state. (Hear.) 0 wing to the elasticity of our resources, so great has been the development of the trade and commerce of the coun try, as shown by the Board of Trade returns pub lished only about a fortnight ago, that, though we have been deprived of the principal source of supply of the raw material for our greatest manufacturing interest, our commerce was never in a more flourishing state than at present, and the year 1863 will have to be described as one of the most pros perous and most successful ever recorded in the commercial annals of England. (Cheers.) Gentle men, I have alluded to the war in America. We must all of us very deeply deplore the afflicting desolation and the awful sacrifices of human life on both sides by the dreadful struggle going on in that unhappy country. (Hear, hear.) No man can foresee any probable termination of that struggle. One thing, however, we may venture to predict, and that is that the reconstruction of the old Federal Union on its former basis is totally and entirely impossible. (Hear, hear.) We all of us have our sympathies with one or other of the contending parties. Some are anxious that the North should be successful, while others there are, and I believe they are the majority of the people of this country, who wish well to the South. For my part, my feelings are entirely with the South. (Cheers.) I am in favour of the Confederates, not only because they are the weaker party, but because they are fighting the great battle of liberty and independence against the most grinding oppression and tyranny which has been witnessed in modern times. (Cheers.) But whatever our individual sympathies may be, I think we shall agree in this—that the proper course for this country to p ursue in the matter is to con tinue to observe that strict and impartial neutra lity which has been maintained up to the pre sent time. (Cheers.) Thou g h p ublic opinion . in favour of the South, I think it favour of a strictly impartial policy being pursued irs that is also in by this country ; and I only, trust, gentlemen, till the that policy will continue to be acted upon r later, period arrives—and coma it must, —when we, in conjunction with soonerther great powers of Europe, shall recognise the independence of the great Southern States of maer t ica. Loud cheers.) I need not tell you thAat the present mo ment the Governm ent of this country is in a po sition of extreme delicacy, if not of difficulty, with regard to the detention of those , two ships, about w hich we have he ard so much of late; but I tru s t and believe a straightforward course will be pur sued to overcome that difficulty. (Hear.) My idea is this. if it can be shown that the construction of those steam rams brings them within the scope or spirit of the Foreign Enlistment Act, it is only right those who have been instrumental in constructing them should suffer the pains and penalties with w hich every person should be visited who infringes the laws of his country. On the other hand, if it should be shown by the testimony of undoubted evidence at the trial which will shortly take place, that the building OF these vessels does not infringe the law as it stands, I trust we shall not be induced by any threats which may be thrown out against ue, Disbandment of the Modenese Army. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) The position of the Modenese troops in the Austrian ter ritorities was regulated in anticipation, by an engagement of the Imperial Goveramett in tho form of a verbal note communicated to the Modenese Legation in Vienna, and dated 31st May, 1859. At that date the Duke and his troops were still in the Modenese territories. But the Ducal Government, foreseeing that the chance of the war between France and Austria might necessitate the evacuation of the Modenese territory, and foreseeing that thence would result the impossibility of defraying the maintenance of the Ducal troops from the resources of the Duchy, obtained from the Austrian Government in that verbal note an unlimited en gagement that, from the moment the Medenese troops should cress the Austrian frontier to combat as allies of the Imperial forces, they should receive their pay and the cost of maintenance from the Austrian military draft, as a loan to be reimbursed after the war, or as soon as the Modenese territory should be reconquered. _ . In virtue of this bilateral arrangement between two in- dependent States, the Estensian brigade remained around the Ducal banners at Bassano during the last four years, preserving the most exemplary discipline throughout, and recruited from the numbers of brave and true-hearted young Modenese peasants, rusticorum mascula militum proles, who crossed the frontiers at every risk to enter the little Ducal army. This was a thorn in the eyes of the Revolutionists and their abettors and dupes everywhere. It was a living pro test against the swindle called a plebisc te ; and against the combination of force and fraud, by which the engage ments of Villafranca and the solemn stipulations of Zurich were violated before the ink of the treaty was Well dry. The Modenese army, under its prince's ban ner, was still more; it was a nucleus around which, whenever Piedmont begins the attack—about which her politicians and her King are always rhodomontading— upon Venetia, there would have rallied vast numbers ol Italian peasants from the " annexed" provinces, who now, ... _ sorely against their notorious will, form so large an ele- went of the present Piedmontese army. This, Piedmont, and her protectors in Paris, and in Downing-street, and everywhere else, saw more clearly, unfortunately it would seem, that the Austrian statesmen who have been intimidated and caressed at last into dia• banding that faithful and chivalrous little brigade. Foreign persuasion and the pretexts of economy, put forward by some Radical members of the Austrian Lower House of Parliament, have led to the commission of this short- sighted and grave political fault. For many months efforts were made to induce the Ducal Government to consent to this measure, and, at last, not obtaining that consent, the Austrian Government took upon themselves the responsibi lity of the initiative, offering, however, to any of the men and officers of the Brigade who should prefer entering the Austrian army—the army of the head of the duke's family —to seeking private employment as civilians, or returning to their homes in the Modenese, the privilege of joining the Imperial army under very fair and honourable conditions. The men and officers were, therefore, called upon in the month of September to pronounce their election deliberately and individually before a mixed commission of Austrian and Modenese officers upon this alternative. Perhaps nothing in all the honourable fidelity of this gallant little force is a more striking mark of their attachment to their Sovereign, than that, in that deliberate and trying moment, about 1,000 men of Modenese birth elected to enter the Austrian army and remain in exile, in the hope some day of rallying again round their rightful Prince, rather than re turn to their native homes, now in the bands of Piedmont, or even remain as private civilians in the Austrian States. Thirty-six per cent. of the men and all the officers of the Modenese Brigade, with one single exception—that of an officer whose private family affairs necessitated his return to Modena—pronounced individually for remaining thus under a friendly flag on a foreign soil, and eat the bread of volun tary exile while waiting for the chances of the future. The decision of the Austrian Government to disband the Modenese was first publicly proclaimed to the brigade by the Austrian Commander-in-Chief in Italy, Gen. Benedek, by a general order, dated 11th September, in which, after announcing the conditions offered to such as choose to re main, he continues as follows : " And now, before the coming lot of the Ducal troops be fulfilled, I feel bound openly to declare that the whole im perial royal army experiences the most hearty sympathy for the band of brave men, who, under the most difficult cir cumstances, have known how to guard loyalty to their Most Serene Sovereign, and the spotless honour of their banner --who throughout four years on the territory of the Empe ror and King, despite unfavourable circumstances, ever showed most excellent spirit, and maintained an exemplary order and discipline in every respect. and which now, in the painful moment when their hereditary Prince absolves them from their oath, present to the world the proof, that troops sustained by genuine soldierly virtues may be bent by fate, but never struck in the palladium of their honour. History, too, will acknowledg e this in handing down to future generations this rare example of truth and sense of honour ; and whatever turn the lot of each and every of these br tve men may take, each can say with pride that he belonged to the ducal troops of Modena, for every political opinion honours those virtues, which stand higher than the varying fate and advantage of the hour. In these senti ments I therefore now bid a hearty farewell to those who aro leaving, for whom the army of the Emperor and King, in every c ontingency, will guard the memory of nobl e fra ternity in arms ; and in these sentiments, in the name of the whole imperial royal army, I wish most hearty welcome to those who are about cnteringour ranks, who willbe received with all the r espect and broth er ly f ee li ng w hi c h i s d ue to that loyalty and chivalrousness, above all praise, which dis tinguishes them." The fate of the brigade having thus been made known by the organ of the Austrian Government, the Duke, after the lapse of some days, addressed the following proclamation to his faithful troops :-- " Soldiers I from the commander of the Imperial Royal Army in Italy you will have heard that the Estensian Brigade must boon be disbanded. "As your Sovereign, and as your commander, it is now incumbent upon us also to make known to you with sorrow, that notwithstanding all our endeavours , and all th e s t e p s of various kinds wh ich we tried and tried again ; and not withstanding our official protests and our personal sacrifices likewise, this decision has been definitively taken by the ' Imperial Austrian Government. "That Governmen t, in ordering you to be disbanded, has by a convention dated 16th May, which we concluded with it, opened the ranks of its own army to the officers and sol diers who may prefer adopting that course rath er th an re turn home, and will adm it them either in active service or in the gendarmerie, or in what are called peace employ ments, or on pension. We, however , concluded that con vention under the most explicit reservations that w e did not thereby mean to consent to the disbandment, but to secure at least for each of you individually all possible guarantees in such a contingency. " Rofoundly grieved at seeing his eff or t s t o k ee p hi s faithful and well-beloved troops together until better times, rendered vain, your Sovereign though leaving you free to follow the course which your conscience may dictate, ad dresses to you this day a few words to let you clearly un derstand his opinion to the important moment when you will have each to make your election as to your lot, before a mixed Austro-Estensian Con2mission. "Absolved as you will be by the disbandment of the Brigade from tho special oath of fidelity which as soldiers you have taken to us , y ou may undertake a new obligation, from which according to the convention, you may free yourselves at any mo ment or at the utmost within four years. You can, therefore, freely enter the Imperial Royal A.ustrian army to servo therein honourably And faithfully as you served us. " The strong and young, especially among the officers another who may not have spe cial motives for adopting resolution, will do well to adopt that course, for they will tsr;, - ipe ti t u , , the danger of lloing to deny their principles, "C STAMPED ....sd. or from any purpose whatever, to pass any special legislative enactment for the purpose of including those vessels, which when they were built could not be said to infringe against the laws of the country. (Hear, hear.) I trust the Government will not be influenced in this matter by any threats or influences brought to bear up on them, or by any other motives than those of pursuing a straight forward and independent course in keeping . with the honour and dignity of the county (Cheers.) The National Troops in Poland, Although the winter is approaching, the nations forces are now more numerous and butter equipped than they have been since the commencement of the insurrection. The speech of the French Emperor has created a great sensation in Poland, and is generally interpreted as expressing the determina- tion of Napoleon not to abandon the Polish cause. The Poles are accordingly using all their efforts to continue the insurrection till the spring, when they regard foreign assistance to be certain. The following is a rapid sketch of the position and numbers of the insurgent forces :—The palati nate in which the Poles are most firmly established is that of Lublin. The insurgent leaders in this palatinate are Wierzbicki, Rudzki, Kozlowski, Szydiowski, Krysinski, Dinewski, Sachodolski, Czyzewicz, Sienkiewicz, and Junosz. A review of these troops took place at Tarobin on the 29th ult. It was a magnificent sight, and greatly encouraged the insurgents, to whom this evidence of their strength added confidence and enthusiasm. In the palatinates of Sandomir and Cracow Generals Bosak, Rembajlo, and others, present a formidable front to the numerous Russian troops which have been sent to attack them. Col. Kopernicki commands the numerous flying columns of Polish cavalry which constantly harass the enemy in the palatinate of Kalisz. In Kujavia there are also three bodies of horse, one of which is under Okoniewski. In the palatinates of Pock and Augustow en counters are constantly taking place between the Russians and the Poles. In Podlachia the official Russian papers speak constantly of bands of armed men which give much trouble to the imperial troops; and in the palatinate of Majovia, the Polish horse under Syrewicz has lately fought a series of brilliant cavalry engagements, in which the Rus sians suffered a complete defeat. Finally, in Lithuania, and especially in Samo gitia, the insurgents are fully prepared for the winter, and their late victories have greatly dis .ed their opponents. emus; SOUND AND ITS TRANSMISSION. (From the Orb.) Many years ago, Professor Pepper gave an illus trated lecture on Sound and its transmission, at the Polytechnic. The experiments were, in fact, repe titions on alarge scale of those institutedby Professor Wheatstone, one of the inventors of the electric telegraph. The fact that pine rods form the best and speediest coniuctors of sound was shown in a very remarkable way. In a room 40 feet below the audience addressed by the lecturer, there were placed performers on the pianoforte, violin, clarionet, and violoncello. Before the company stood three of Erard's grand harps upon orifices, in which pine rods were placed, and brought into contact with the musical instruments below. First an air was played by each instrument singly, and then all played in harmony. The music came up distinctly, and cculd be either shut off or let in to the room at pleasure. Douglas Jerrold, who was present at the private view, I remember exclaimed :—" This is a case of concealed banditte," amidst general laughter; and we talked of the time when music would be laid down in pipes like water or gas, and an oratorio in Exeter Hall be enjoyed at the same time in Edin burgh or Glasgow. It appears that an American named Hackenburg has appropriated this idea, and brought out as an invention of his own, what he calls music el telegraphy. He states that his plans are all matured, and he is ready to supply music, at a given rate per annum, to all the world. A piano forte is to be connected by electric wires with any number of instruments ; and on being played, the sympathetic vibration will cause a stream of music to permeate every place in connection with the cen tral depot. Subscribers will be able to turn on music at will by means of a small tap. This will be even more wonderful than Professor Pepper's last invention, the wonderful ghost. Whatever credit the American may claim for the application of the idea, to Mr. Pepper undoubtedly belongs the merit of priority in illustrating and developing it. It is strange, too, to find the originality of photo graphy disputed as discovered simultaneously in England and France by Mr. Fox Talbot and M. Daguerre in 1839. Their processes were different but both produced permanent sun pictures: It seems that in 1791 Matthew B ou lt o n, the partner of James Watt at Soho produced large numbers of sun-painted pictures, many of which are now in the possession of Mr. Smith, curator of the museum of Patents at South Kensington. They are all copies on very coarse foolscap paper, of well-known de signs, by Angelic Kauffman, the porous, water marked paper being thickly covered with a varnish like substance, on the surface of which threve picture is produced, with the figures of the original ersed, the drawing ,elaborately finished, and the lights and shades so fully rendered, as to give much the effect of a mezzotint. What is still more singular, it appears that these pictures were actually sold at Soho in large quantities, and at low prices, at the end of the last century. Their production seems to have been stopped by the payment of a sum to Boulton by the Government, on the representation of the Royal Academy that the manufacture of these pictures would inevit abl y ruin the p icture trade. In this same year (1791), Thomas Wedgwood, the son of the famous potter on whom Mr. Gladstone pronounced so eloquent an eulogy, was also at work on photography, as shown by his bills and orders for chemicals, and beside Boulton's pictures are laid a photograph of a neatly-laid breakfast-table, tak en by Wedgwood. It is curious that an art promising so much should have been suffered to die out • but st ill more remarkable is the,double coincidence ex isting between the independently - produced metal m e etal a nd paper pho to g ra p h y of Boulton :Lied Wedgwood n 1791, and of D a g uerre and Fox Talbot in 1839. The Akhbar of Algiers states that Sir Morton Pete has arrived in that city to examine the pre sent state of the works which are being executed on the Bow levaxd do l'lmperatrice. He has, it is said, made an offer to the administration to construct almost immediately and on conditions to be fixed by private contract, the buildings and e stablishments of public utility which are most impatiently looked for by the inhabitants. PHOTOGRAPHIC P ORTRAITURE.--it is a common error, into which most people fall, according to Colonel Wortley, to suppose that a photograph, because it is taken as it were by machinery, must necessarily be a likeness. The Colonel states that this is not the case, and for the following reasons :—The photographic portrait lens the is not a perfect instrument, and of necessity magnifies objects that arc nearest to it, and makes them r out ° r from pro portion with those situated in a plane somewhat further the instrument. To prove this, you have only to ,ou o h o e v i i o u v a e t r any collection of photographic portraits, and you will Once see that the hands, or feet, or any objectld Pbe, to be in brought forward, are larger than they should visible in the due proportion.

Event after an investigation apparently without preect‘ ' at for the strictness with which it had been conduct , the jury returned a verdict of accidental death, avi. Lord Robert was thus formally acquitted. Yet tho , conclusion was evid e ntly of a kind which would not' silence suspicion ; it was not proved that Lady Dudley had been murdered ; but the cause of the death was still left to conjecture; and were there clothing more —were Ctch's words to DJ Quadra. Pr ,oved to be a forgery —a cloud would still rest over Dudley's fame. (secil might well have written of him, as , he did in l a t er years, that ho " was in famed by his wife's death ; and the shadow which. h i h ung over s verve in th e popu l ar b el i ef, wou ld b e intelligible even if it was undeserved. A paper re mains, however, among Cecil's M.SS., which proves that Dudley was less zealous for• inquiry than he se emed; that his unhappy wife vas indeed mur dered; and that with proper exeroo.n the guilty persons might have been discovered. That there should be a universal impression that a „Particular person was about to be made away with, that this person should die in a mysterious violent ra.ltiner, and yet that there Ehould have been no foul .play after all, would have been a combination of coie,ci dances which would not easily find credence in a we ll-constituted court of justice.T sgzst point in Dudley's favour wa s that he senthe o his tr wife's half-brother, John Appleyard, to the inquest.. ~l let f Appleyard,fall w 0 words s m o e f years anger , a a f t n e d r, , said d a t hfiattd l e irritation, y, ,s, sake he had covered the murder of his sister. o f f o r . Du . inade Being examined by Cecil, he adm itted thatn the in vestigation at Cumnor had, after all, bee quately conducted. He said " that he had oftentimes . o moved the Lord Robert to give him leave, and t countenance him in the prosecuting of t he trial of the murder of his sister—adding that he did take the Lord Robert to be innocent thereof ; but yet he thought it an easy matter to find out the offenders —affirming thereunto, and showing certain circum stances which moved him to think surely that she was murdered—whereupon he said that the Lord Robert always assured him that he thought it was not fit to deal any further in the matter, considering that by order of the law it was already fou,id otherwise, and that it was so presented by a jury, Nevertheless the said Appleyard in his speech said upon examination, that the jury had not as yet given up their verdict." If Appleyard spoke the truth, there is no more to be said. The conclusion seems inevitable, that, although Dudley was inno cent of a direct participation in the crime, the un happy lady was sacrificed to his ambition. She was murdered by persons who hoped to profit by his elevation to the throne ; and Dudley himself-- aware that if the murder could be proved public feeling would forbid his marriage with the Queen —used private means, notwithstanding his affecta tion of sincerity, to prevent the search from being pressed inconveniently far. But seven years had passed before Appleyard spoke, while the world in the interval was silenced by the verdict ; and those who wished to be convinced perhaps believed Dud ley innocent. It is necessary to remember this to understand the conduct of Cecil. The Ladies in the Citadel of Warsaw. WARSAW, Nov. 7. The ladies who were taken some days ago to the Citadel will proceed to-day or to-morrow to Russia by railway. It is not known to what part of tho empire they will be sent. The young girls who were arrested lately are not excluded from this transportation. The father of the twin sisters Fleischer, who are but 15 years of age, begged general Rcz wadowski to tell him the er:rne for which his children had received this dreadfu l . sen tence, and was answered that they are charged with. ho particular crime, but that General Berg thou ;ht it advisable instantly to send them away from the city, together with the other ladies. He refused the prayer of the unfortunate father that he might be told the place to which his children would be sent, in order to enable him to send a person of more mature age to look after them. To ni-ght all the rich inhabitants who were lately arrested, 6i) in number, are to be sent away, nobody knows' w hither. It is a fact that these persons, both ladies and gentlemen, will be transported without trial or hearing of any kind, but simply on the order of General Berg. That this has already several times been the case appears from letters received here from the Asiati c frontier, which state that the transported prisoners did not even have a hearing. No preparation whatever is made for the journey ; the prisoners are not even supplied with warm clothing, and nearl Byreslauh G all ave in azette consequence fallen ill on the way.—. Lecture by the Archbishop of Dublin, Yesterday evening a lecture was delivered to a numerous audience by the new Archbishop of Dublin (Dr. Trench), at the City of London College, being one of the winter series. The subject of the lecture was the Swedish hero, Gustavus Adolphus. The chair was taken by Mr. T. Baring, M.P., one of the vice-presidents of the institution, who, in opening the proceedings, congratulated the assenv bly on the presence of the late Dean of Westxnind ster, adding that Ireland ought also to be congratu lated on having him for her future archbishop. The archbishop then proceeded with his lecture. In the introductory part he observed that it had of late years been a fashion with philosophical historians to deny that there had been any great men—that: any single man, even the greatest, had exercised an i r h mighty moulding influence over the events of i time--the lat e M r . B uc kl e , among others, having supported that view. But who could believe til,n: , there would ever have been a free Holland ex v c e e r P,l a l : e William the Silent, or that there wouhldites have been a revival of imperial France, issues for our own generation, and 111 come, except for Napoleon • • he said, to place Gustavus aHe di Adolphus rank among the subjects of the worlds so far as human eye could foresee,n but for him would have many, and probably in all . England.

After the lecture, which was warmly applauded, the Rev. Mr. Whit tington, principal of the college, moved a vote of thanks to the archbishop, and expressed a hope that he w ou ld a ll ow hi s name to b e enro ll e d on the list of vice patrons.

A vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the proceedings.
