This Company is established for T the purpose of purchasing the property and continuing the business of the well known Oxford and Canterbury Musio Halls, so successfully con ducted by the present proprietor, Mr. Charles Morton, for several years past. The Directors, in bringing the present Company before the public, are not inviting subscriptions to an uaknown or un tried venture, but to an established and highly remunerative undertaking, and one which, w ith th e additional means at the command of a Joint-stock Company, may be made still more to. An agreement has been entered into for the purchase of the whole of Mr. Morton's interest in these properties, together With the goodwill of the business and the stock in trade, on terms highly advanta;eous to ICompany, and in orde r t o show his eonfide nc dl n its future success, he has subscribed for one-fourth of the entire capital, and will continue for some years the manage r . It is the intention of the Company to increase the hotel accommodation, which has hitherto been found inadequate, and thus materially add to the present large returns. There is also an excellent private wine trade attached to both establishments, which is capable of considerable extension. It is impossible to show, with certainty, by any statistics, the returns which may be expected from the present under taking, but the certified accounts for the last three years show an annual profit of upwards of 20 per cent. upon the whole amount of capital, which it is contemplated eventually to call up, The nresent average attendance at the Oxford and Canter bury Music Halls is about 60,000 a month, and the proposed 'extension of business will doubtless render the profits of the tuidertaking still more remunerative than ever. One-half of the capita has been already applied for, and applications for the remainder Nhould be made to the bankers of the Company, accompanied by a deposit of £1 per share ; if tto allotment be made ihe deposit will be returned. Proseectuses and forms of application for shares may be obtained at the Oxford and the Canterbury, at the Brokers, and at the Temporary Offios of the Company.

No country in the world presents more opportunities for the advantageous employment of capital than Italy, it abounds in mineral and agricultural wealth, and has a large population, affording an abundance of cheap labour, and only requires the application of capital, on the joint-stook prin ciple, and English enterprise to develops and render produc tive its great natural resources. This Company is formed to provide the requisite means for developing industrial undertakings of undeniable commer cial value. The business of the Company will be commenced by the purchase and working of extensive and valuable deposits of native sulphur, situate in the Romagna, which are now being worked with considerable profit, and are in the immediate neighbourhood of the productive sulphur mines of the Bolognese Company, which for several years realised profits averaging 33 per cent, per annum on the capital employed. The mines intended to be wor- ed by this Company are contiguous to the Central Italian Railway, and within a few miles of good seaports, and they have been thoroughly in spected and investigated by independent and reliable practi cal men, specially sent over by the Directors for that purpose, and their reports, which can be seen at the office of the Com- Patty, enable the Directors to state with confidence that a net annul profit of from 15 to 25 per cent. on the capital em ployed may be fairly anticipated. Under their advice a provisional agreement has been en ered into for the purchase of the whole of the concessions of these mines, to,gether with all rights and privileges, and pint thereto attached, for the sum of £Bl,OOO.

Naval and Military Intelligence. The hired sailing transport Hornet, temporarily com manded by Lieut. Walter Stewart, of her Majesty's screw corvette Encounter, arrived at Spithead on Saturday, from Madras and St. Helena, with the left wing of the 74th Highlanders on board and detachments of time-expired men and invalids from various regiments serving in the Madras Presidency, The Hornet sailed from Madras on the Bth of March and from St. Helena on the Ist of June. The troops on board consist of the left wing 74th High landers—Capts. W. S. Thackeray, C. H. Thompson, and W. S. Hunt—Lieuts. Rolleston, Braoley, Dougherty, Will. lace, and Darvall—Ensigns A. J. Campbell and Sir A. A. Campbell—Assist.-Sorg, Gillespie-17 sergeants, 20 cor porals, seven d rummers, one piper, and 140 privates. Detaebments—Ensign Taylor, Ceylon Rifles--19 time expired men, 10 men for Knellar-hall, and 63 inv a lid s . At 3 p.m. yesterday the Hornet sailed again from Spithead with the troops still on board for Gravesend, where they will disembark, the left wing of the 74th proceeding thence to Edinburgh, the time-expired men to the depots of their respective regiments, and the invalids retracing their course Royal Vict or i a Milit ar y H osp i ta l i n South ampton Water. Th e invalids could have been transferred westward to the from the ship when at Spithead to Netley, but it was under stood that the terms of the charter party provided only for the disembarkation of the men at Gravesend. The owner of the Hornet stands by those terms, and the Horse Guards authorities must therefore submit and provide railway transport for the men from Gravesend to Netley. The Bacchante, screw &gate, 39 guns, Capt. Donald M. L. Mackenzie, arrived at Spithead on Thursday, about 2 p.m. from the Pacific. Sh e sailed from Valparaiso on the evening of the 14th of April, with a freight of 125,000d015. on board for Rio Janeiro. At Valparaiso were her Majesty's ships Leander, bearing the broad pennant of Commodore Harvey. and Alert, Commander Majendie—light southerly winds and calms were experienced after leaving Valparaiso until the 2Gth. The vessel made very little progress, hav ing at that date only reached lat. 36.57 S. ; long. 84.24 W. Beyond this point strong northerly and westerly winds were fallen in with and continued until Cape Horn was rounded on the afternoon of the sth y The Falkland Islands were passed on the 9th Ma y, fresh w es t er ly w i n d s prevail ing. On the 10th May th e ship was under double-reefed topsails and courses, going nine knots, when the main yard was carried away at the Slings. On the 14th it had been repaired and sent up again, but on the same day the star board cutter was carried away in a heavy roll of the sea. From the 16th of May to the 22d the wind was very light. On the 22d of May there was a cahn, and steam was got up in two boilers. At noon on the 25th the vessel anchored in the Bay of Rio de Janeiro, and f ound at anchor there her Majesty'swo h d ea deathsoccurred on Curl ew, Stromboli, and Industry. T on the voyag e from Valparaiso to Rio —Henry Harris, private Royal Marine Light Infantry, re ceived from her Majesty's ship Nereus, and Wm. Harford, gunner of the Royal Marine Artillery, serving on board the ship. The Bacchante having discharged her freight and received on board naval invalids from her Majesty's ships on the station, sailed from Rio anchorage for England on the Ist of June, under steam with two boilers in use, escort ing the British ship Sophy out to sea until 20 miles S.S,E, of the bay. Then the Sophy, in obedience to a signal from the Bacchante, cast off the warps of her towing tug, and stood out to sea under her canvas, a Federal man of war steamer being reported at the same time to be in eight and in pursuit. The Bacchante crossed the equator on the 15th June, in long. 30 W., and the Tropic of Cancer on the 26th June in long. 42.35 W. Vice Admiral Sir M. Seymour, G.C.8., embarked on board the Fire Queen steam yacht, Staff Commander Paul, on Saturday, and proceeding out to Spithead inspected the Bacchante. The vessel after her inspection weighed anchor and steamed into Portsmouth harbour to dismantle and pay out of commission. The Royal Sovereign, 5, iron -cased turret. ship, Capt. Sherard Osborn, C. 8., was officially inspected in Ports mouth harbour, on commission, by Vice-Admiral Sir M. Seymour, G.C.8., Naval Commander-in-Chief at Ports mouth. She will go out of Portsmouth harbour this morn ing, and, according to pre-existing arrangements, proceed to off Osborne, where her Majesty's has announced her in tention of paying a visit to the ship. On Tuesday, moat probably, the Royal Sovereign will anchor in St. Helen's roads, preparatory to commencing her trial cruise. A field-day of peculiar interest took place on Friday, at Woolwich, in which the regular troops in garrison and the Kentish Volunteers were combined. About 25,000 or 30,000 spectators were calculated to have been present. By a most judicious arrangement the flagstaff was transferred from the eastern to the western ciao of the common. The space at the rear, being well sheltered with trees, was appointed by Gan. Wardo as the reserved position for private carriages and persons admitted by tickets of reserve. Tho corps of Volunteers from deferent parts of the country commenced forming in the Royal Arsenal soon after one o'clock. The whole of the interior of the coaimon and barrack-field were kept clear of spectators, and the roads leading thence were closed at 2 o'clock pan. The proceedings coneneuced at 3 o'clock on the arrival of Viscount Sydney, lord-lieut. of the county, who was received on the ground by Major-Gen. `Verde, C. 8., commanded the garrison, attended by his Per sonal staff, There werealso present Col. M`alurdo, Inspector of Volunteers; Lieut.-Col. Thorold Brigadier and A.D.C. Lieut. Hudson,2Bth Kent RifleVolunteere ; Lieut.-Col. Vis count Hardinge, B r i ga d ier; Lieut.-Col. Sir E. Campbell, Assist.-Inspector of Volunteers ; Lieut.-Col. Anderson, Lieut.-Col. Ellis, Lieut.-Col. Parkyn, and other mounted officers. Those to whom had been awarded the prize won at the Volunteer contest at Gravesend having been ranged in front of the General and Staff, Viscount Sydney addressed them, and informed them that he was glad to find there was no diminution in their numbers. They had been oomph menteA, he said, by General Hay, and their firing had been good. He had formerly delivered the prizes himself, but on this occasion he had asked Lady Sydney to perform that part. The names ware then called over, and each one re ceived his prize. The recipients then took their places in their various battalions. The General and attendant offi cers shortly afterwards proceeded to the front, and ware re ceived with a general salute ; after which he inspected the troops, who were ranged in the following order:—The in t of and at right angles to the lines; conarnand of Col.

The defending body, supeoseel to be in Position in front of their intrencheaents, were drawn up in front of the Ha-ha sepa. rating the common fro= the barrack field. Soon after 4 o'clock a rocket was fired to announce the commencement of the attack. Operations immediately commenced by the defenders shelling the enemy 8 positi on on the hill. The heavy guns were discharged in reply, on which the de fenders advanced, supported by sores Artillery and co vered by skirmishers. In the Meantime the enemy •de ployed, throwing out s kirmishers to ch eck the advance. The defenders having advanced, deployed, skirmishers were re called on both aides, and a heavy fire op ene d f rom b ot h lines. The defenders retired slowly, covered by skirmishers, the enemy advancing su pported by fl a l d artillery. A stand was then made at the Its-ha, over Which tho defenders re tired, throwing bridges across to do so. The enemy still advanced, but was laying down bridges for himself (the de fenders having removed theirs and ret i red into their in trenchments) and was met by a heavy fire from the works, which prevented an assault and c ompelled him to retire. The defenders pursued. The troops th en formed on the in line and bra} off in divisi ons original ground, advanced from the field about half-Pat 6. he marching past of the various corps of volunteers , and many of their movements, were highly applauded.

(Per the Arabia.) NE W YORK, JULY 13. There is no late news of importance from the army of the Potomac. On the evening of the Bth inst. the Confederates attacked the works held by Turner's division on the left of the Federal centre. They were repulsed by artillery. At latest ac counts both armies were vigorously strengthening their position. A rumour was circuirtzed yester. terday which, however, could be traced to no re liable source, to the effect that Grant had captured Petersburg and 5,000 prisoners. The Confederate demonstration in Maryland, at first regarded as a mere foraging raid, having now assumed the grander proportions of an invasion, seriously threateniag the national capital, absorbs the public attention. After falling back from their first demonstration against Frederick, on the 9th, the Confederate forces concentrated on the Boonsboro' road, and advanced and occupied Frederick, the Federal forces under General Wallace having retreated to the Monocacy river, where they were soon after wards attacked by the Confederates in large force. A desperate battle ensued, lasting from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m., when the Federals, after suffering severely in killed, wounded, and prisoners, and losing most of their artillery, were forced to retreat in disorder. Among the prisoners taken by the Confederates was General Tyler. General Wallace retreated to Baltimore. His force was about 10,000 men, while the Confederates are believed to have numbered at least 25,000. After defeating Gene, ral Wallace, the Confederates seem to have been divided into several bodies, and to have immediately moved for the destruction of the railroad communi. cations of Washington and Baltimore, their corn. bined operations being thought to indicate an at tack upon the latter city, where the greatest excite ment prevailed. The streets were barricaded, business suspended, and no one was permitted to enter or leave the city without a military pass. .The Confederates, although continually menacing the city, did not attack it, but directed their atten- Lion to its railroad and telegraph communications. On the afternoon of the 10th, Governor Brad ford's residence, four miles from Baltimore, was burned by a squad of cavalry. The inmates were permitted to escape, and were informed that the house was destroyed in retaliation for the destruc tion of Governor Letcher's house at Lexington by General Hunter. On the evening of the 10th the Confederates appeared in large force at Elliott's Mills, 16 miles from the city, and, after having destroyed the Bal timore and Ohio Railroad to that point, commenced to destroy bridges on the Northern Railroad con necting Baltimore with Harrisburg, Penn. The extent of damage sustained by this road is no known, but is believed to be serious. The Balti more, Wilmington, and Philadelphia Railroad was next attacked. Some accounts represent that the bridges over Bush River and Gunpowder Creek were destroyed, but a Philadelphia despatch states that these structures were successfully defended by Federal gunboats. The damage to other parts of rho road is known to be great, On the morning of the 11th a passenger train was captured by the Confederates at Magnolia Sta tion on the Baltimore and Philadelphia Railroad, and a number of soldiers and officers, among the latter Major-General Franklin, were made pri- Boners, While detached squads of the Confederates were operating in the vicinity of Baltimore, their main force were concentrated and advanced towards Washington, on the Rockville road. A Philadelphia despatch states that yesterday (12th) a force of at least 15,000 had appeared before the northern defences of Washington, and that fighting was in progress miles from the city. The absence of official intelligence and the inter ruption of railroad and telegraphic communication between Washington and Baltimore and the north, naturally result in the circulation of exciting and contradictory rumours. The capture of Washington even is reported; but this, although by no means impossible, is highly improbable, as the defences of Washington on the north, although not very formid able, are still of sufficient strength to hold an enemy in check for a long time, and these defences are known to be sufficiently garrisoned. As to the actual strength of the Confederates in Maryland, no definite idea can be formed from the report thus far received. It is said, however, that 38,000 men with 140 pieces of artillery has passed through Frederick, under command of General A. P. Hill, and were moving rapidly to effect a junction with the forces under Earley. If this report be correct the entire invading force must number considerably more than 40,000 men. It is also reported that the commands of Sigel and Sulli van had effected a junction, and that Hunter's advance had occupied Martinsburg on the evening of the 11th. It was rumoured that Gen. Morgan, with a force of 6,000 Confederate mounted infantry, was following Hunter's column. It is not definitely known whether any of Gene• ral Grant's troops have been sent North from the James River, but it is rumoured that the entire 18th army corps, under General Smith, reached Baltimore on the 11th. Great apprehensions exist in some quarters for the safety of the capital, while in others the fullest confidence in its security is entertained, and the Confederate invasion is regarded as affording Gene ral Grant an excellent opportunity to avail himself of the reduced force of the enemy in his front, and capture Petersburg. The Governor of New Jersey has called upon citizens of that state to volunteer for 30 days' ser% vive to protect the national capital. The 84th regiment of New York Militia left yesterday for Washingtcn, and several other regi ments are under orders to start for the same point, but the Militia manifest a decided objection to leave the State. Major Gunther, of New York City, has protested against the troops being "" moved from the city, asserting his belief that their departure would ben signal for the repetition of the riots of last year, It is therefore e.spectfetdhtehsattatthe.e troops sent will be f rom o ther porttons o The Governor of Pennsylvania has earnestly appealed to the people to volunteer for short service and rather reproaches the Philadelphians for now displaying more alacrity in responding to hi s first There is n o further reliable news f rom General Sherman's irmy. A Memphis de s p atch, however, states that the Federals were preparing for an immediate advance against Atlanta. Advices from the south-west report all quiet at Little Rock and Davall's Bluff, Arkansas.

LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST, The report of the directors of this company states that the amout of capital raised to the 30th of •June, 1863, is £12,094,099. ' The amount of capital expended daring the half-year is £389,082. The opening of new branches and the approaching requirements for the South London lines have necessitated an increase in the plant; the directors are making the necessary preparations, as the successful working of the railway depends chiefly on the pos session of an adequate stock of engines and vehicles. The high price of money has checked applications for de benture stock; still a further sum of £21,023 has been issued during the past half year. The gross revenue has been £466,301, showing an increase 0ri£3,186 over the cor responding half-year. The traffic is still subject to the natural effect of the large reduction of fares and rates made the Ist of August, 1863, but the expectations of the directors have already to some extent been realised, as the traffic is con tinually increasing, and there is no cause to doubt that the returns after the lst August next will contrast favourably. The total traffic receipts for the half year ending June 30, amounted to £451,454 against £445,610 for the correspond ing half of 1863, showing an increase of £5,844. The total working expenses and renewals amounted to £220,273 or 484 per cent. against £224,394 or 60 1-3 d per cent. for the corresponding period, showing a decrease of £4,121 in the expenditure, although there was an increase in the mileage of 201,104 miles run by the trains. The renewals for the past half year amounted to £7,507, and the corresponding half of last year to £9,258. The cost of working per train mile was 2s 61d against 2s 111 d in the corresponding half of 1863. The lines promoted by the South Eastern Railway Company affecting the interests of this company were with drawn, satisfactory arrangements made with that company as regards the traffic from Tunbridge-wells to Eastbourne, and all questions at variance adjusted—the director believe this will prevent any future collision, and thus strengthen the friendly relations of the two companies. The directors have succeeded in obtaining powers for a direct access to the suburban lines from Peckham across the Dulwich Col lege estate. These powers will enable the company so com pletely to accommodate the whole of their district that it is hoped further important extensions may not be required for some time. The branch lines to Bognor and to Seaford were opened for public traffic on the Ist of June. The opening of the South London line will be somewhat retarded by the widening of the Greenwich viaduct; but the works will be pushed on w4h rapidity. The net amount at the credit of the revenue account is £122,603, out of which the directors recommend the payment of a dividend of 21 per cent. for the halt year, leaving a balante of £l2B. COCK ERMOUTR, KESWICK, AND PENRITH. The directors of this company had made arrangements for opening the line on the Ist of August, but the Government inspector required heavier " chairs" to be laid at the ends of the rails than those used. The inspector was commu nicated with, and a reply has been received, stating that although he will insist on heavier chairs being substituted, yet, if all else is satisfactory, he will be willing to sanction the opening of the line for passenger traffio.ilt appears the directors have ordered the heavier chairs, and will substi tute them gradually. so that the opening of the line will not, it is expected, be delayed beyond the middle of August. ATLANTIC AND GREAT WESTERN. The traffic receipts on this company's line, 322 miles open, amounted for the month of June to 73,654 dols for passen gers and mails, and 210,867 dols. for freight—total, 314,521 duls., being at the rate of 245 dols. per mile per week. The total teceipts from the Ist of January to the end of Juno on the 322 miles amounted to 1,389,539 dols. SAN PAULO (BRAZILIAN). The report of the directors states that the claims of the contractors for extras have been settled by a satisfactory arrangemeat,which not only liquidated the claims originally put forward, but which precludes any further demands of a similar nature. £he contractors continue to assure the directors that a considerable saving on the time stipulated by their contract will probably be effected. The directors state that a call of £4 per share will be payable at the end of August next, and that a further and final call of £4 per share will be necessary before the end of the year. The re port of Mr. J. Brunlees, engineer-in -chief, states that dur ing the past six months the progress of the work has, on the whole, been satisfactory. The first section of 13 miles is practically finished. On the second section 37 mile s i n length, the first lift on the incline is so far completed that the stationary engine is at work, and generally on the other three lifts the works are so far advanced that the rails will be laid on the top of the Serra in September next, and it is expected that all the stationary engines will be erected and at,work early next year. The Serra viaduct will still take some nine or ten months for erection, but this does not delay the general progress, as a temporary road has been laid past it, over which the permanent way materials oan be hauled. From the top of the Serra to San Paulo the work will be completed during the present dry season, after which the ballasting and rail-laying will be proceeded with. On the third section, 38 miles in length, rapid progress has been made with the earthworks generally, and it is expected that in three or four months they would be completed. The ma terial in the tunnel and summit cutting continues of an un favourable nature, and consequently the progress is but slow. Labour is abundant, and the weather has been very favourable. The capital account shows an expenditure of £1,707,493, leaving a balance of £04,873. A Portrait of Shakspere—By Himself. (A Card sold at the Dramatic College Fete.) A sweeter or more loveable creature Framed in the prodigality of Nature The spacious World cannot contain again. His life was gentle, and the elements so mixed in him, That Nature might stand up and say, To all the WORLD, this was a man I He was ever gracious, had a tear for pity, And a hand open as day for melting charity His bounty was as boundless as the sea, His love as deep; the more he gave the more He had, for be was infinite. Hear him bat reason in divinity, And all-admiring with an inward wish You would desire to see him made a prelate. Hear him debate on commonwealth affairs, You'd say it hath been all in all his study. List his discourse on war, and you shall hear A fearful battle rendered you in music. Turn him to any cause of policy, The Gordian knot of it he will unloose Familiar as his garter. And when he speaks of love I The air, a chartered libertine, is still, And the mute wonder lurketh in men's ears To steal his sweet and honied sentences. Our poet's eye, in a fine frenzy rolling, Did glance from heaven to earth, from earth to heaven; And as imagination bodied,forth The forms of things unknown, our poet's pen Turned them to shapes, and gave to airy nothing A local habitation and a name, Found tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, Sermons in stones, and good in everthing. A THEATRICAL " ARIDE."—A difficulty between an actor and his manager gave rise to an odd scene the other night at the Theatre des Arts, at Rouen. During the performance of "Nos Alliees," M. Delacroix, who was plaing the chief role, suddenly paused in his part and said —" Gentlemen,—Allow me to interrupt myself an instant, and tell you something. I have just been dismissed by M. Briet. Now, I depend on my engagament for my bread, and as I have not deserved this treatment I appeal to you. The director has in this case looked more to himself than the public. This will never do. If you agree with me, be good enough to applaud me; those who are of a different opinion can hiss." (Applause.) " Thank you." And he went on with his part of the haughty baron.—The Lounger, 14 Illustrated limes. CRYSTAL PALACE, SATURDAY.-FIVE ►SHILLING DAY. Admissions on payment, 1,735; ditto by season tickets, 4,254.

It overturns the foun dation of disease, laid by defective food and impure air. In obstruction and congestion of the liver, lungs, bowels, or any other organ, these pills aro especially serviceable and eminently successful. They should be kept in readiness in every family, as they aro a medicine without a fault for young persons and those of feeble constitutions, and they never cause pain, or irritate the most sensitive nerves or most tender bowels. Holloway's pills are the best known purifiers of the blood and the best promoters of absorption, and secretion, which remove all poise/m.O and obnoxious particles from both wilds aid D COMMERCIAL.

BRITISH FISHERIES.—The return of the herring fishery of 1863 shows a total of 654,816 barrels cured, 276,880 branded, and 407,761 exported. The num bers are considerably lees than in 1862, which was an ex traordinary year, but it cannot be said that the fishing of 1863 was a short one. The experiment of fishing for her rings upon the ocean coasts in winter was repeated, and extended, with success. The returns of the cod and ling fishery show an increase in the quantity cured dried, which was 129,725 cwt. and also in the total quantity exported, which rose to 53,736 cwt. The little success experienced at Rockall in 166 z prevented vessels being fitted out last sea son to fish there; and further experience has shown that the high anticipations formed of Rockall for the fishing of cod and hog were illusory, and that its exposed position and other disadvantages will prevent its ever becoming the valuable fishing hank which at one time it was expected to be. In the year 1863 13,191 boats, manned by 43,7.58 fishermen and ir - ,ys, were employed in the herring and cod and ling fisheries. end the estimated value of the be e t s , nuts, and lines wa3 £315,724--an increase in boats and their value as compare:l with the previous year, but a docreare of 150 in the number of hands. Boats and nets aro improv ing, and fishermen arc becoming more thriity and a better conducted class of men. DR. SILVESTER'S PLAN FOP. RPCOVEItY OF THE APPARENTLY DROWNED.—PIacc the patient on a fiat surface, face ueanost, the shoulders being surported by a cushion or any article of dress at hand. Draw forward the patient's tongue, and fix it by passing an elastic band or piece of string over the tongue and under the chin. Then the operator, who places himself at the patient's head, grasps the arms just above the elbows, and draws them gently and steadily upwards above the head, where they are to be kept for two seconds. The chest being thus expanded air nature abhors a vacuum') rushes into the lungs. The patient's arms aro next to be turned down, and pressed for two seconds against the sides of the chest. Air is thereby pressed out of the lungs, and, by repeating this process about fifteen times in a minute, natural breathing may re turn. On that happy sign appearing, heat and stimulants to the circulation are to be applied.—Chambers's Journal. SIR HUGH ROSE'S PROBABLE SUCCESSOR.--. Still speculating on the probable successor of Sir Hugh Rose as Commander-in Chief in India, the Indian journals now speak with great confidence of Sir Sydney Cotton as the man. We can only say that nothing has yet been set tled on the subject, and nothing has taken place to justify any of the rumours thus circulated.—Army and Navy Gazette. BEES AND TEE HONEY HARYEST.—A " Bee master" writes to the Times—" I have ten stock. hives. I never destroy or kill my bees. I look on the system of the sulphur match as barbarous and unprofitable. I leave each family on an average not less than 251 b of honey for their winter stores, and the surplus only I take away. Should any hive swarm, which I can generally pre vent, and the remaining stock be therefore deficient pro vision for the winter, I feed them in the course of the early spring with barley-sugar. This and other little attentions endear the bee -master to his bees, as they are very susceptible of gratitude and have long memories. A. hive is very like a church—when, in May, it increases rapidly in numbers and the temperature rises inside, you either increase their accommodation in area or in height, or you will have a secession. Should a secession take place, bees set an example ecclesiastics might copy. The new church never falls out with the old one. Side by side they work in perfect harmony, believing there is plenty of food for both. The only incidental mischief maker is the wasp ; whether he be prelate or presbyter I cannot say, but I know well he is a thief and intruder, and after a fight the bees, who in this matter are rigid non-intrusioniats, eject, maim, or kill him--and be de serves it. Queen Victoria's Court is modelled on the apiarian Queen's. You may see the Queen bee by means of my glass wi n d ows go i ng her rounds, and giv i ng orders w w e h . theyl lastedaronk to with her royal ladies, who never turn their backs on her Ito! thensdtiQmaueetts the only vice among Majesty.

As long T a a n h d e strong Queen monarchy became a fierce democracy, beesis their passionate sub jects were confounded i l n iki t n h g e the teetotaler would fairly reply that they never care about either, unless it is pressed upon them. My bees at present have begun the massacre of the drones. Th es e ar ea sort of B enedictine monks, who, like Brother Ignatius, f rne or ie L ' m prefer enjoyment to hard work. Th e y aro round, fat, and lazy, making ranch no ise, and eating of stores to which they do not contribute. About this time the Queen, and her:active subjects, have k e to the truth of the text, If any will not work, awakenedol he eat," and the:drones are being garotted. But you want to hear about the harvest In one square box there are 401 b of honey, and a corresponding super rapidly filling up, there is likely to be for rue as much more. In three Scotch or Ayrshire hexagonal hives, which I have found to answer best of any, the three supers are in two almost full, and in ono there is at least 401 b weight in the super, and over the super is a bell glass, with 71b or Sib additional. In ono of Neighbour's very beautiful straw hives, I have two bell glasses almost full, and, a month ego, I re moved from this hive a very beautiful glass of honey. In one of Petit's lateral hives, the bees passed the sub terranean archway a month ago, and have nearly filled this compartment. On this also I have placed a super bell glass, which is beautifully stored. From a common, cottage straw hive I removed a bell glass super, three we e ks ago, weighing 181 b. This season I shall have nearly 2001 b weight of surplus honey, and yet leave in each hive more than enough to last the producers till April, 1865, Why should not cottagers cultivate bees? There is nothing to pay for pasture, very little labour is required, and that la bour amusing, in taking care of them, and for very early virgin honey there may be had is Gd a lb.
