Although in a competition between them for the championship of Manchester Gardner was the victor, an exciting muckiestcontt is e xpected on M on d ay next, as the distance will be geater, and Mather proved, by winning the first race for the same cup last Bummer, that he could swim the whole way in an exceedingly short time. The course _from Chiswick Ait to Putney Aqueduct —will be kept clear by a Thames police galley.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF COMMONS.---This Day. The SPEAKER took the chair at twenty minutes after twelve. NEW MEMBER.—KINSALE. Sir George Coulthurst took the oaths and his seat. The hon. member was introduced by Mr. Herbert and Mr. Beamish. THIRD READINGS. The following bills were read a third lime •—Elginshirs and Nairnshire Roads, Bridges, &c. ; Hadlow Railway ; Waterford and Passage Railway and Ferry. FISHERI bS (IRELAND) BILL. Col. VANDELEUR said he understood that the right hon. baronet intended on the second reading to make a statement with respect to the purpose of the bill. It would be doubtless exceedingly satistactory to the Irish member s if he would do so on the present occasion. Sir R. PEEL sail. he was quite prepared to do so ; but he considered that the discussion that would to-day be entered upon would fully answer the purpose of an expla natory statement. (Hear, hear.) Col. ,VANDELEUIt expressed his satisfaction at the statement of the right hon. gentleman. Sir R. PEEL moved that the house should go into committee on this bill. Mr. SCULLY said if they were legislating for a new country like New Zealand they would probably not permit wiers and bag nets in the rivers, but it was impossible that they could take away the rights of proprietors without compensation. He did not altogether approve of the bill of the hon. ana learned member for Wexford (Mr. M'Mahoi,), but at the same time he did not like to see its chid features plagiarised by the bill of the Government. He proposed in regard to compensation that the value of the fishing rights of the various parties interested should be estimated and capitalised, and paid by annuity or in some other way. The bill did not appear to hint to make proper pro vision for compensation, No time ought to be lost in placing the law on a better footing. Anglers ought to be taxed about 4d. per lb. for each " individual" salmon they caught because they materially contributed to lessen the breeding of the fish. (Hear, hear.) Sir H. BRUCE said there was no doubt that the bill of the hon. and learned member for Wexford was one for the confiscation of ancient rights, confirmed and secured under the Act of 1842, and that the bill of the right hon. baronet was simply a compromise. He denied that the sea fisheries were so injurious to the fisheries as had been stated ; it was the sweep nets in the rivers that created the great damage . Mr. BRUCE said any sea fisheries within miles of the mouth of rivers would be interfered with, After few words from Mr. Cox and Sir R PEEL in ex planation, the house went into committee, and the various amendments, occupying no less than 10 closely printed pages, and chiefly of a technical nature, were proceeded with. The discussion occupied the remainder of the sitting. LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day, (Before Mr. Potter and a Common Jury.) FRED. LILLYWH iTE AND HIS LITTLE BILL WITH MR. VAN HARE-LILLY WHITE V. VAN HARE. This was a writ of inquiry sent down from one of the superior courts to assess the damages sustained by plaintiff in consequence of defendant not meeting a certain bill. Mr. Frederick Kent, of Cannon-street West, for the plaintiff, said—My client is the celebrated cricketer, and defendant is manager of the horses at Cremorne Gardens. My client, for the accommodation of Mr. Van Hare, accepted a bill of exchange for £25. Plaintiff had none of the money, and he very naturally expected that defendant would pro vide for the bill at maturity. Mr. Van Hare, however, did not think proper to take up his little bill, and of course the holder applied to plaintiff. He found the money, and paid the dishonoured acceptance, but was compelled to put our, a second bill of £27 Is, as he borrowed money to pay the first. The plaintiff felt that he had not been fairly treated by his friend, and sued upon the £25 bill. Defendant had suffered judgment to go by default, and plaintiff now sought com pensation for the trouble and expenses to which he had been put. Mr. Lillywhite was called and said I accepted the £25 bill to oblige Van Hare. It was in the nature of a loan from me When he did not pay the bankers served me with notice of dishonour, and they gave me from Saturday till Monday to take it up. With Mr. Watling's assistance I succeeded in doing so, and then I borrowed £25 to put all straight. I paid £2O 2s. for the loan, and I claim the last item. The jury will assess the damages as the actual loss sustained, not taking into consideration the incidental ex penses. The jury awarded plaintiff £27 ls. damages.

A CASE FOR THE DIVORCE COURT.—CRUELTY TO A WIFE.—Mr. James Wild, of the coffee and news-rooms, Leicest, r-square, appeared before Mr. Knox to answer the complaint of his wife, Mrs. Eliza Wild, for violently as saulting her. Mr. Louis Lewis, of Ely-place, appeared for Mrs. Wild, and said that he should not go into details, but content him.. self with stating that his client had again to complain of an as.ault committed on her by her husband—part of a long course of brutality pursued towards her by him—and that Mr. Wild had been three or four times summoned to that court, owing to his violent conduct. After calling Mrs. Wild, who would depose to the treatment she had received, he (Mr. Lewis) would ask his worship to deal with the case as he thought fit. Mrs. Wild (whose countenance was much disfigured, owing to a bad black eye) then deposed that on Tuesday night week her husband behaved in a very gross manner towards her in the coffeeroom, before a number of persons. She resented this and went upstairs, when he followed her up and struck her in the face. He then threw her on the bed, twisted her hair, and knelt on her. She got up, and he then took her by the hair and threw her on the floor, and again knelt on her and beat her, bruising her all over. He had been drinking a little, and all the while made use of the most disgusting language to her and the children. In answer V) a question, Mrs. Wild said her husband had treated her very cruelly for a long time past. A gentleman lodging in the house (Mr. Gosnold) deposed that heating screams, he got out of bed and dressed him self, and on going to Mrs. Wild's room he found her on the floor. On her getting up, Mr. Wild flew at her, and grasped her by the throat. He pulled Mr. Wild away, but he after wards struck Mrs. Wild on the eye with his fist, and on the forehead with a candlestick, and he believed that but for his interference the affair would have ended in a very serious manner indeed. In answer to the charge, the defendant set up a defence which only aggravated the complaint against him. Mr. Knox, after severely rebuking the defendant for his unmanly defence and animadverting in strong terms upon his cowardly conduct, committed him for two months with hard labour. ASSAULT ON A POLICE INSPECTOR AND SERGEANT,— Henry Mortimer, a rough looking fellow, was charged with assaulting Inspector Charles Bowles and Sergeant Apple• tor., 26 C. It appears there was a ball at Willis's Rooms, and the prisoner caused a great disturbance by running to the car riage doors. He was requested to desist, but he refused, and on being removed assaulted the inspector and the ser geant. Ha was committed for 14 days. WESTMINSTER. UNPROVOKED ASSAULT.—CharIes Smith, a respectable young man, charged with an unprovoked assault upon Elizabeth Dunning, a pretty looking girl, of about eighteen, whose mouth was cut and her lips much swollen. Complainant said that she was passing through Polton street, Chelsea, last night accompanied by her sister and a young rhuo, when, as they reached a lamp, just where de fendant was standing, he laid hold of her (complainant) by the arm and wanted her to go with him. On being re pulsed for such c,nduct he gave complainant a blow, the effect of which she now exhibited. She produced a hand kerchief soaked with blood. The young man who accompanied the complainant said that she and her sister were on either arm of him when defendant caught hold of the complainant as described, and after being asked what he meant by such conduct, said he wanted to give her a smack on the mouth, and did so, and then also struck him. A policeman said that he heard the call of " Police," and on going to the spot found the complainant bleeding very profusely from the face, upon which ho took the defendant into custody, when ho complained that he had been ill treated by the young man in company with the complainant and his companions, Defendant now repeated this, and said that he had never been in such a position as the present before. He had been severely beaten by the man's companions because he acci dently touched them. There was a policeman present who could prove that he (defendant) was respectable. The policeman in question said he had known him for six years, and that he was a respectable hard working man. Defendant said all the case against him had been misre presented, and he never struck a blow till he was himself attacked. Mr. Selfe said that the assault upon the young woman was severe, and would spoil her good looks for some time. He might give her £1 as compensation; if he did not he would be fined L 2. He gave her £l. GREAT FLAB IN CORK.—CORK, Wednesday Even ing. —A most - destructive fire broke out this morn ing, about 12 o'clock, in the establishment of Messrs. Gould ing, oil and drug m l / 4 1rchants, 108, Patrick-street. About half-past two o'clock .tier after tier f,ll in, followed by the roof, with a tremendous ,crash, when thi doomed house pre- Fented the appearance of, And roared like, a huge furnace. By six o'clock nothing remained of this establishment but a smouldering heap of ruins. The house of Mr. Russell, nest door, was almost destroyed. The migin of the fire cannot be aseErta'ned at present. We believe the premises of Messrs. Goulding are insured. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—This Day. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Baron Bramwell.) CHARGE OF ARSON. Joseph Rushton, 45, carrying on the business of a shoe maker, in Gray's-inn-lane, his private residence being at Forst-hill, was indicted for feloniously setting fire to the house of George Neal, he and other persons being therein at the time. The prosecutor was the brother-in-law of the prisoner, they having married two sisters, and resided at Forest-hill, the wife of the prisoner occupying a house adjoining. It appeared that the prisoner did not constantly reside with his wife, but was in the habit of visiting her every week, generally on Eaturdays, and remaining until the following Monday. The fire in question took place on the morning of the 20th of May, and it appeared that it had originated in three places, the gas-pipes having been cut in three placee, and a quantity of tu-pentme had been set fire to in another place. The evidence against the prisoner was, that on the night in question he was seen in the neighbourhood of the house and could have gained access to the house, although he derned having been there, stating he stopped at the shop in the Gray's -inn-road on the night in question Upon the examination a feat mark was found is one of the flower beds, which corresponded with the prisoner's boots, a pair of which were found underneath a chest of drawers in the prisoner's bedroom at the hack of the shop in Gray's inn -lane, and on their being compared by the police inspec tor one of them exactly corresponded with the foot mark in the flower bed, and a peculiar kind of clay or soil, similar to • that i❑ the garden, was attached to the boots. A number of witnesses were c4led, variety of facts circumstanti a ll y connec ti n g the prisoner with the fire. who deposed to a The jury returned a verdict of not guilty. NE W COURT. (Before the Recorder.) Thomas Henry Green, 70, a marine store stealer at Lam beth, was indicted for unlawfully having various metal bolts, the prope r t y o f th e Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty. in his possession The Recorder sentenced the prisoner to four months' im- prisonmtnt. Benjamin Everett, aho was found guilty, on Tuesday, on a charge of stealing a quantity of leather, and whose case was mentioned yesterday, was again placed in the dock. An extraordinary number of witnesses were called, all of whom gave the prisoner a gocd character for honesty. The Recorder said ho would well consider the whole of the case before passing sentence. John Snode Laws, lately carrying on business as a wine merchant in Mincing-lane, was indicted fot obtaining goods within three months of his bankruptcy. There were a num ber of o.her counts against him, amongst them one that he caused several persons to accept bills of exchange by false representations, with intent to defraud. The de fendant pleaded not guilty. Mr. Giffard, en the part of the prosecution, applied to the court to exercise the power it possessed of striking out the latter part of the charge against the prisoner, as it could not be said to be at all connected with the charges of in fringing the Bankruptcy Act and could only embarrass the prisoner in his defence. Mr. Hudd estone for the prosecution, opposed the appli cation. The prisoner was charged with obtaining a quantity of wine a short time before the bankruptcy, which he pledged, and then he obtained the bills of exchange upon the warrants for delivery, he having at the time no power to complete such a transaction. The Recorder, having consulted Mr. Baron Bramwell, said he should have liked the two charges to have been dealt with by separate indictments, but as that had not been done, he should certainly not accede to the application of prisoner's counsel. The trial then proceeded, but as the facts have so re cently been reported whilst the defendant was under exa mination at the Mansion-house, it is unnecessary to repeat them. The case will last the entire day. Metropolitan Rifle Contest at Wormwood Scrubbs. Tne third annual meeting of the Metropolitan Rifle Association commenced yesterday at Wormwood Scrubbs. The programme for the third day's contest is a very ample one, and a peculiar merit is to be found in the conditions under which the prizes are to be contended for, the greater part of them being open not only to volunteers, but to all comers. The first prize consists of the Great Metropolitan Stakes for £lOO, seven shots each, at 200 and 500 yards. This prise it has been considered expedient should be divided into 18 prizes to those who might happen to be the highest on the score—viz , one prize of £25, one of £l5, one of £lO, five of £5, five of £3, and five of V,. The next a prize of £11; a sweepstakes divided into three prizes for long Enfields, five shots at 200 yards ; a prize of £2l, five shots at 500 yards, for all corners with any rifle; a sweep stakes, to be divided into three prizes, five shots at 500 yards, for all corners with any rifle; a prize of £2l five shots at 500 yards, with long Enfields, open to all corners ; a prize of £2l, five shots at 200 yards, for all corners with any rifle; a sweepstakes, divided into three prizes, five shots at 200 yards, for all comers with any rifle; a prize of 1.21, five shots at 600 yards, with long Enfields; a prize of £2l, open to all corners with any rifle, five shots at 600 yards; a sweepstakes, to be divided into three prizes, five shots at 600 yards with long Enfolds; a prize of £ll for ;long En fields, five shots at 200 yards ; and a similar prize at 500 yards, besides several more prizes and pool shooting. The meeting was under the management of Colonel Lind say, of the St. George's Rifles; Captain Oldershaw, Cap tain Lochner, Lieut. Homflay, Lieut. Robinson, Captain Styan, Lieuts. Marriner and Hawkins, and under the imme diate patronage of Colonel Lindsay, of the St. George's; Lord Grosvenor, of the Queen's Westminster; Colonel Radstock, of the West Middlesex; and Colonel Wood, of the Paddington Volunteer Rifle Corps. The arrangements were on the same principle as those adopted at Wimbledon with respect to scoring, targets, and rules, the hits being added to the number of points. This meeting has every year increased in importance, and the financial condition is very satistatory. Amongst those on the ground yesterday were Lord Bury, colonel of the Civil Service Volunteers; Colonel Holford, Captain Ross, Major Russell, Captain Williams, 19th Middlesex (winner of Lord Dudley's prize last year at Wimbledon) ; Sergeant Gibbs, of Bristol, and several of the best shots of the day. There were, in addition to the prizes above enumerated, several pool targets, which were extensively patronised, and the system of dividing the produce every two hours amongst those who were successful in obtaining bulls' eyes gave general satisfaction. The committee also allowed two shots at 6d, each, for the purpose of sighting, before the com mencement of every prize, if required, and this was much approved of. The markers were obtained from the different regiments of Guards, and to ensure correct scoring they were in attendance on Wednesday evening for the purpose of practice. The Government ammunition of 1863 was used, and sold on the ground. The business of the meeting was not commenced at the time originally stated (nine o'clock) in consequence of the weather, which was very bad, the wind blowing violently across the range, and this very materially interfered with the arrang meats, and prevented an accuracy of aim, not withstanding the aid of the Elcho shooting screens which had been provided. The committee arranged to pay all the prizes in cash, but Mr. Steward, optician, of the Strand, had a tent on the ground, in which were displayed a number of telescopes, opera glasses. &c., of the first class, adapted for rifle-shoot ing purposes, from which the amount of the prizes could be selected, and several of the competitors expressed their in tention to avail themselves of them. In the pavilion near to the ground Messrs. Mappin and Co., of Oxford-street, exhibited a beautiful display of silver and electro-silver plate, suitable for prizes, and of very elaborate workman ship. The Great Metropolitan Stakes naturally excited much interest, and the competition for them was most spirited ; but as the entries remain open during the whole of to-mor row, we shall defer giving the score until the contest for that prize is concluded. As far as it has gone, in conse quence of the state of the weather, the shooting has been rather of a poor quality. The following is the result of the day's sho o ti ng a s far as it could be ascertained at nine o'clock last night : The first prize of £5 was gained by Sergeant Anderson, of the Queen's Westminster, by 17 marks ' • the second by Lieut. Marriner, of the W e st Middlesex, by 17 marks. • The following gentlenaen tied with 16 marks for third and fourth prizes :—llamman, 14th Bent ; Fellows, Victories ; Lieutenant Wa mesley, 7th Kent ; Corporal Backhouse, Civil Service ; and Private Little, West Middlesex. These ties will have to be shot off to-morrow. The third competition was for a sweepstakes, five shots at 200 yards. The following were the highest scores : Private Dighton, 3rd Middlesex .. 17 Ensign Starkie, Queen's Westminster 16 Sergeant Abbott, 30 , h Middlesex .. 16 Lieutenant Penny, Bristol • 16 Ensign Black • • • • • • .. 16 Serg. Anderson, Queen's Westminster 16 Priva e Dighton, therefore, takes the first prize. The other ties will have to be shot off to-morrow. The fourth competition was for a first prize of £lO ; second, £5 ; third, £3 ; fourth, £2 ; and fifth, of £1 ; for all corners, any rifle ; 5 shots at 500 yards, any position. The prises were gained as follows : Private Symons. South Middlesex .. 20 Lieut. Hanker, South Middlesex .. 19 Lord Bury, Civil Service 19 Halford, Ist .. 11 W. F. Turner, Ist Cinque Ports 18 - The fifth competition was for a sweepstakes, containing three prizes. They were gained as under : Private Bishop, 4th Cinque Ports ^- Lord Bury, Civil Service .. Private Baker, Ist Gloucester The tie was shot Off, which resulted in fav,.)ur of Lord Bury, so that he takes the second prize. The sixth competition was for five prizes, viz., £lO, £3, £2, and LI, open to all corners, with long Enfields, five shots at 500 yards. Private Kennedy, 20th Middlesex .. 18 Private Endale, 22d Middlesex .. 17 tit. Morris, West Middlesex • 16 Prior, 2d Oxford 16 •• .. •• Lieut. Hawkins, St. George's 16 The ties were shot off, and left the winners of the prizes in the above order. THE OVERLAND MAIL. By the arrival of the overland mail we have re ceived advices from Calcutta to May 8; Madras, May 14; Ceylon, May 16; Hong Kong, April 29 ; Shanghai, A ril 18 . ; Singapore, May 7 ; Syd ney , April 21 ; Melbourne, April 25; Brisbane, April 18; Auckland, April 6 ; and Dunedin, April 18. INDIA. The Lahore Chronicle of the 2d of May states that .Lieut. Jackson, the officer whose servant diet.' from a severe flogging administered to him by ti t , master, has been found guilty of manslaughter, ancl entenced to penal servitude for life. The South Eastern Railway line to Cannington, on the Mutlah, was enver isEd to be opened for public traffic on the 15'h of May, suj,,ct, however, to th, sanction of the consulting engineer to Government At Calcutta, a requisition to the sheriff was in clurse of signature, calling upon him to convene a public meeting for the purpose of adopting congra tu!atory addresses to the Queen and the Prince and Princess of Wales. The Viceroy and Commander•in-Chief were still at Simla, where there is no news of importance tc, record. On the afternoon of the 7th May a numerous audi ence was gathered together in the hall of the Cham ber of Commerce of Calcutta, to hear a lecture by Sir Arthur Cotton, on works of irrigation and navi gation. The lecturer chiefly insisted on the neces sity of appointing public IA orks commissioners with powers to raise funds for prosecuting remunerative public works, and who shall be accountable for their appropriation to the purposes for which they were professedly obtained. Something like a mania for limited liability corn panies is said to be prevailing in Calcutta. The Hurkaru says upon this subject :—" We yen-. ture to resume our strictures on the limited liability mania. The importance of the sub ject must be our excuse. Too much is at stake to permit the folly to go on unchallenged; and it is surely better to speak out boldly now and nip t' - ,e evil in the bud, than to delay all notice till few designing stock-jobb9rs have secured their premiums, and the credulous multitude finds itself duped and ruined. The good name and reputation of our community, besides, are iv question, end it is but right that it should emphatically repudiate complicity with practices which, we repeat, are alike disgraceful and dishonest. We read in the Madras ..4th,enceum—" From Central Asia there is a continuance of the same vague and contradictory rumours that hive for so long a time filled the columns of the Delhi Gazette and perplexed everybody at a distance from the scene of action as to what the real position of ties at Herat, and the probable issue of the strife between Dust Alahommed and his son-in -law, may be. The old Ameer has recovered from his late sickness, and is said to be as intent as ever on taking the city, but after all it seems more likely than not that British and Persian diplomacy will bring about an accommodation between the belli gerents. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Calcutta Englishman of May 8.) Produce Market—With the exception of u few purchases of saltpetre and rice at rates well main tained, the market still remains inactive. Import Market—ln the short interval since our list report there has been no change in our market, which is still very quiet. The favourable telegra phic news received on the 6th has had no percep tible influence. Our quotations must be looked on as purely nominal. Joint-stock shares—A large business has 'nen done in joint-stock shares, and Bengal Bank scrip is reported as having sold for 9,150. A wild mania has lately sprung up in this city for converting tradesmen's firms into limited liability companies, and much gambling in the scrip has resulted. These speculative venturers have in no way affected the more legitimate undertakings. Government Securities—Government securities are slightly lower, following the downward ten dency in Bombay and Madras. Business has been done in fives and a halt at 117-8. In the other de nominations we have heard of no transactions since our last report, and the quotations are nominally the same. Money Market—Though the money market is still very easy, there is somewhat more demand within the last day or two, the scarcity of money in Bombay and Madras having attracted considerable remittances to both of these places. _ . Exchanges—The greater part of the business done in exchange for the past fortnight has been crowded into the last two days. Buyers of sterling field back as long as they could in the expectation that the arrival of the direct steamer from China would give a fresh impulse to the rate of exchange, but on its becoming known that she brought an unusually small amount of China drawn paper, the banks readily sold at the terms they had asked, 2-0 7,16. At this rat.) something like 18 lacs of bank-bills must havebeen disposed of yesterday and the day previous. First-class credit bills have been sold at 2-oi, and the few China drawn bills that came forward went at 2.0 9.16. Document paper is comparatively scarce, and may be quoted 2-01. CHINA. There is no news of importance from Pekin. From Tientsin, we hear that all is quiet, the Nyenfei having been driven beyond the "boundary.' From Hankow, we learn that a body of marauders had caused much consternation among the native trar'ers, by approaching to within ten miles of the city, after repulsing a force sent against them. Later accounts say they had retired and that the alarm had somewhat subsided. At Kinkiang, the British settlement is being rapidly improved by a " municipal council," and also by the erection of a bond, or prava, which will be not only a protection against flooding in the river, but a great facility for the landing and shipment of goods. At Shanghai matters are reported as in a favourable state. Foo shan has at length yielded to an attack by the Anglo-Chinese contingent under Major Gordon, and the siege of Chiang-zu has been raised. Taitsan also had surrendered, and its garrison declared for the imperial cause. Major Gordon is said to be preparing for further operations. General Burgevine has returned from Pekin, and it is said has been reinstated in the command of the Sunkiang force. This would appear to be a mis take, as Major Gordon was duly appointed by the authorities at the capital. Affairs at Ningpo are, it is said, in a bad state, owing to the license allowed to the Franco-Chinese force in looting and oppressing the people. Simon shan, a city about twenty miles beyond Shaouh sing, had been evacuated by the rebels. From the ports of Fuhchau, Amoy, and Swatow there is no news. JAPAN. From Japan we learn that her Majesty's Charge d'Affaires had addressed the Tycoon on the subject of the two last outrages upon foreigners, viz., the attack upon the British Legation on the 20th of June last, when two of the guard from her Majesty's ship Renard were murdered; and the assassination of Mr. Richardson on the Tokaido last September. For these outrages her Majesty's Charge d'Affaires, Col. Neale, demands reparation. The full details of his demands have not been made public, but the principal material clauses of the ultimatum comprise " the trial and capital execution of the murderers of Mr. Richardson, a heavy pecuniary penalty on Japan for that offence, and a considerable compen; sation for the sufferers or their surviving relatives. Should Col. Neale's demands not be complied with in the precise terms laid down in this ultimatum, he reserves to himself the ri g ht of adopting coercive measures of a nature and duration " proportioned to the degree of ill-advised obstinacy or resistance which the Japanese Government may assume." In order to give weight to these demands on the part of the English authorities, a fleet was stationed in the harbour at Yokohama, under the command o f Admiral Kuper, consisting of the Euryalus, Pearl, Argus, Centaur, Rattler, and Racehorse, with gun boats Havoc and Kestrel; these were shortly to be joined by her Majesty's ships Ringdove, Encounter, S co ut, and Coromandel , along with th e gun b oat , Reaper, with coals and stores. Two Dutch and two French vessels of war were also present with the English fleet. The Perseus and Leopard were in Hung Kong Harbour, and would probably join the admiral's fleet as soon as they could be got ready. The ultimatum was sent in on the 6th of April, and 27 days allowed for its being satisfactorily replied to. The latest dates from Yokohama are to the 15th of April, up to which time no reply had been re ceived. The Tycoon, however, had previously left for Miako (March 23), and the ultimatum had been sent after him to the capital. The Mayor of Kona- ga wa is said to have expressed himself, in a com munication to the admiral, to the effect that the Tycoon's Government was not strong enough to arrest and punish Kimedzoo Saburo, father of Prince Satumk—this was one of the murderers of Richardson, eau it will be recollected that the Ty coon then expressed his comparative helplessness in the case. In the present emergency it is alleged that the Mayor of IC,tntiglyva has suggested ',hat satis fiction should be t a k en f rom th e P r i n ce of Satsuma himself, by the seizue of the Loo Choo which are his prop ert y, an d y i e ld a revenue of half a million sterling per annum. VICTORIA. Melbourne advices to the 25th April state that the Intereclonial Conference had finished its sittings and that the delegates from the other colonies had returned home. Tne proceedings were conducted with closed doors, and the results had not been com municated to Parliament or the public. This much only had been made known, that an energetic ad dress and protest to her NI , jesty against the revival of transportation had been signed by every member of the conference. LITERATURE. Four Months in a Dahabeel ; or Narrative of a TVinter's Cruise on the Nile. By M. L. M. Carey. Booth. We have before us a goodly volume of handsome appearance, illustrated with some half-a-dozen beautiful sketches, recording a four months' cruise in a Dahabeeh (or river boat) upon the Nile. The travelling party consisted of five Europeans—tha fair author of the narrative, " Cousin Phil" and his daughter Selina, to whom conjointly the work is dedicated, and Thomas and Sarah, the man -servant and lady's maid—objects of unmitigated astonish ment to the native dragoman, who, when he found they were each to have a cabin on board the Daha beeh, regarded them as " very great personages indeed." This dragoman, Mahommed el Adleek, with El Abiad and Ali, two of his companions, are depicted in the frontispiece, seated on the deck of " the Cairo," as the Dahabeeh is named. Very pic turesque do they appear in their oriental costume, as displayed in the coloured engraving. There is also a picture of the crew of " the Cairo" at breaf fast on the bank, and views of Boulak, the port of Cairo, the island of Philaa, and other scenes, very charmingly drawn, we r resume, by the hands of the authoress and Selina." The narrative is for the most part in the form of a journal, and possesses some of the advantages and also some of the dis advantages of that style of composition. It is easily and pleasantly written, and we realise the scenes and take part in the adventures detailed to us; but, at the same time, a great deal of very trivial and unnecessary matter is occasionally in troduced, and the style at times becomes too collo quial and undignified. With the exception of these blemishes the journal proves very pleasant to reed, and introduces into very unaccustomed scenes. There is an amusing account of a visit paid by the ladies to the house of Sheik Abool Gowad, at Girgeh. Under the auspices of the invaluable Mohammed they are introduced to the Sheik and his mother. Selina wore dark gloves and gauntlets, and her " black hands," compared with her " white face," caused a great deal of whispering and specu lation among the hosts, and she was finally requested by Mohammed to pull off her gloves, and to show that hands and face were suitably alike. The gloves they had never seen before. The visit to the Bazaar is very interesting, end the account of the Eastern mode of embroidery is given in detail, and will be attractive to lady readers. The cover of the hook displays some splendid specimens of the mosquito that plague of the East, and very pitiful ara the writer's complaints of the misfortune which occasionally befalls the unwary, who, shutting close the musquito curtains at night, sometimes shut in the musquitoes, with very direful results. The "Cruise in the Dahsheeh" will :on acquaintance prove, we doubt not, as entertaining to its readers as it has done to the fair journalist and her com panions. Adventures and Researches Among the Andaman Islanders. By Dr. Mouat. Hurst and Biackett. The Andaman Islands, situated in the Bay of Bengal, are little known even by name in this country, and their inhabitants hold about the very lowest rank among the diversified races of the human family. Nevertheless, Dr, Mcuat's book on this unpromising theme is full of interest, and we doubt not that many who open its pages will, like ourselves, be surprised to find its contents so gene rally attractive. In the course of the year 1851. immediately after the Indian mutiny, Dr. Mount, then in Cslcutta, was summoned to join an expedi tion to the Andaman Islands, in order to examine " how far they were adapted for the establishment of a convict station, and to select a suitable site for such a settlement"—his colleagues being Dr. George Playfair, of the Royal Army, and Lieutenant J. A. Heatheote, of the Indian Navy. " My last evening in Calcutta," writes Dr. Mouat, " was spent in the society of the Governor-General and his kind-hearted and accomplished lady. Alas ! it is only a few years s;nce, and they are now both no more ! To my certain knowleage they are both mourned throughout our Eastern Empire with a depth and intensity of sorrow, with feelings of such deep personal regret as are seldom felt for those who have occupied a station so exalted." We must transcribe the following beautiful and evidently heartfelt tribute to Lady Canning : "I can scarcely trust myself to speak of the lamented Countess Canning. Her popularity in India was, as it deserved to be, unbounded. Every one who has ever had an opportunity of coming in any way in contact with her can only have words of praise to bestow in speaking of her personal character. All were immediately attracted by the matchless grace and elegance of her manner, and the kind ness beaming in her eye at once won the homage of every heart. Not only did she possess the lighter accomplish ments that enhance the beauty and dignity of the female character, but she hal evidently applied herself with no little zeal and diligence to severer studies, and had amassed much of that useful knowledge which strengthens and elevates the mind. Every one who was admitted into her presence she received with the most refined courtesy; and none could converse with her long without perceiving that all the other excellencies of her mind and heart were enhanced by that Christian grace which is the crowning beauty of an elevated female character. The virtues she manifested in her intercourse with s t ? T ie y in were evidently not assumed, as mere m eans of attrac the circle in which she moved; bu t were the natural out growth of her character, the root of all that was beautiful in her life and intercourse beinger will the memory of her inexpressible sweetnessofwithin. xev di s p o sition fade misfortune she endea voured to alleviate , an d the smile from the memory of those whose w ith which she showed her sympathy in the happiness o f the more fortunate is im pressedr hearts. No doubt, like all indelibly on their human creatures, s he had her weaknesses, but she knew how to conce al, : to overcome, or extirpate them. Never did her innate kindness more delight in alleviating the sorrow s o f the unfortunate than during that fearful mutiny which overwhelmed so many once happy and prosperous families with unexpected calamities. The sympathies of her noble nature were a source of joy and comfort to all d ur i n g that period of trial and probation, and in many a grateful heart is the recollecfion of her unwearied goodness cherished with a devotion equal to that with which the constant ll the pi o us Catholic regards the p atron sa i nt whom he believes to so g r u rOw rd thr a o n u d g h g sv u la id i e ch he ain m id u st St a pass on temptation, behs i sin, and his way to a better and higher life." At the close of the volume, Dr. Monet again re turns to Government House, ,bringing with him an object Vf universal cur' iosity—a real live Andaman —who, dressed in unaccustomed clothes, is pre sented to Lord and Lady Canning. Most of the time Jack spent in their presence, he was greatly absorbed in self-admiration. Ob serving his figure at full length in the large pier-glasses with which the apartment was adorned, he stationed himself before one and, regarding his own image with undisguised satis faction, he continued grinning at himself With THE BOMBAY MAIL. The following telegram has been received at Mr. Reuter's office from the Peninsular and Orien tal Steam Navigation Company : ALEXANDRIA, June 11. The Euxine, with the above mails, left here at noon this day. She may be expected at Marseilles on the 17th inst. The Delta sailed for Southampton at 6 a.m. yesterday. She may be expected there on the 23d inst. The Malta brought the mail to Suez, arriving there on the Bth. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. NEWTON RACES.-THIS DAY. MANOR PLATE.

Jack !" and then bursting out, in violation o!, all good manners, into an irrepressible fit of laugh - e`er, in which we found it difficult to prevent oursel yes joining." Jack proves, however, more teachat le and tractable than the majority of his tribe, but 11_,;a health suffers from the confinement and the climate, and he is obliged to return to his native town. He is put on shore and left there, divested of his costume,. in order that he may be received back by his savage. brethren, who are singularly rude and inhospitable. Speaking of the Andaman Islands, Dr. Mount ob serves that they form an almost invisible dot on the map of the world, the civilisation both of the East and of the West has pawed them by without in any way affecting the condition of their inhabitants. In these islands man is probably still in the st.me condition in which he was when they Were first settled." " Their inhabitants acknowledge no law to restrain and guide them in life. Not only have they no knowledge of a supreme Being, but they are even destitute of such a rude system of religious faith as is gen,raily found even amongst men in the most savage state. Their language is harsh and disagreeable, in an imperfect state of development, barely sufficient for the expression of their few and simple wants. Totally ignorant of agriculture, they have no means of making provision for the future, and must be satisfied with such fruits and herbs as the earth spontaneously produces, or with the shell-fish they pick up on the shore." ple.natiors, we become to Thanks to Dr. Mouat'a ex a certain extent acquainted with the manners of this uncultivated people, and we find, in addition , in the pages of this volume a variety of anecdotes and details on matters of general interest.. For example, here is a description of some ;of the men engaged in the Expedition : " Many of them were wild adventurous seamen, 'who had led roving and unsettled lives in all parts of the globe. Excitement and danger were the elements of the atmosphere in which they lived ; and as they were utterly reckless` of their lives and persons, it was with difficulty they could i!le induced to exercise even ordinary caution when they were threatened with the most imminent perils. The officer who commanded them was a man according to their own hearts; he was the most daring of their number, and always in front when there was the least chance of an encounter of any kind. His life had been a very adventurous one, and the ex perience of danger had not taught him to fear or avoid it, He was on board the Prince, at Balaclava, in that terrible storm of November which so soon followed the battle of Inkerman, and was the sole survivor of that lamentable calamity. When the unfortunate vessel went down, he was washed by the tempestuous sea on to a ledge of rock, from which perilous position he was with great difficulty rescued by means of ropes let down from the overhanging heights. Such was the spirit of adventure by which this fearless man was animated, one might well imagine that on that night of dark and ominous memory he bad imbibed the very spirit of the Black Sea tempest." The " Matrimonial Parade" describes a very original scene, and " David's Venture" in selection of a wife is an episode of much interest, but our extracts have already extended so far that we must take leave of Dr. Alouat's pleasant pages. FINE ARTS. The Lords Prayer, Illustrated by Lorenz Frolich Trubner. A series of etchings upon the Lord's Prayer„ every zentenee being the text for an illustration. Some of these i'lustrations are singularly happy, and the idea of the work is likely to render it popular. To say that the actual pictuies come very far short of the ideal, conjured up by that sublime prayer, and familiar to us all from infancy is only to express what is, perhaps, inevitable. Nothing less than an inspired pencil could do justice to such a theme. In the first page, the Saviour looking up to His Father and ours, is teaching his followers to address the Almighty by that tender appellation, which is at once the token of our adoption end the bond of our common brother- , hood—" Our Father."

There, on bAs death-bed, for the first and last time, he learns to pray, and only those two words come to his dying lips—" Our Father—it sounds very good—it does," says the dying boy—" Our Father!" " Give us this day our daily bread," is one of the happiest of the artist's sketches. The scene is a corn-field, and there in the midst of the harvest given by God —a peasant is dividing a loaf of bread among his children. A charming group, suggestive of peace and plenty, while from above beams down the benign face of the Divine Giver of all good gifts. "Lead us not into Temptation" depicts the strng gling Christian clinging to the rock, while the sirens and the tempters allure him to the waters of destruction, and is very effectively pourtrayed. The work is dedicated to the Princess of Wales. SECOND EDITION. SUN OFFICE, HALF-PAST 4 O'CLOCK. MARKETS—This Day. MARK LANE. The supply of English wheat on safe here to -day was very moderate.
