TO LADIES. —The high and universal celebrity which Rowlands Kalydor continues to maintain, as an active yet mild and soothing extirpator of all impurities of the skin, is, during the period of Spring, most pleasingly evinced. This preparation, eminently balsamic, restorative, and invi gorating, is equally celebrated for safety in application, as for unfailing efficacy in removing all impurities and discoloura. tion; and imparting a healthy freshness and transparency to the Skin and Complexion. 'RA universally great demand excites the cupidity of unprincipled shopkeepers, who give the title of " Genuine" Kalydor to compounds of their own manufacture, of the most deleterious character, containing mineral astringents utterly ruinoi!s•to the Complexion, and, by their repellant action endangdring health. It is, there fore, imperative on purchasers to see that the words " Row land's Kalydor" are on the wrapper.-411 others are fraudu lent Counterfeits.

SIGur,AR COINCIDFNCE.—An inquest was held on Monday, the 15th inst., before G. Ilinehcliffe, Esq., coroner, at the house of Mr. Thomas Sower, Sun Inn, Brock-moor, on the body of Jane Webb, aged sit years, who was found drowned in the canal on Friday last, near Mr. Firmstone's works, at the Ley Colliery. It appears she was sent with her sister's breakfast to the pit, about half-past eight in the morning, and on her return slipped into the water. Nothing more was heard of her until the afternoon, when they began to drag the canal for the body, and were about giving it up, when a young woman, who was standing by, stated that if they would get a loaf of bread, and put some quicksilver into it, it would float to the body, if it was in the water; the young woman insisting she had seen it tried and proved be fore, the loaf and quicksilver were procured, and thrown into the water. Much to the astonishment of all, the loaf floated to wcertain spot, turned round several times, and remained. What. is more extraordinary , beneath the spot occupied by the loaf, the body of the child was found : a man of the name of Westwood dragged to the place where the loqf be came stationary, and wrA .44' 2,2 P , i.ifkil in liiinging out the poor nnfortunate Ak er the different evidence had been heard, the jury returned a verdict of Found drowned." —Staffordshire Mercury.

THE • WILL FORGERIES.—Mr. Cope, the Governor of her Majesty's gaol of Newgate, waited upon the Lora Mayor, in consequence of his Lordship's desire to oom manicate with him on the subject of a report which had become very prevalent, to the effect that all the prisoners who had been tried with Barber repeaVily declared that delinquent to be innocent of the knowledge that, in the proceedings adopted for getting the sums of money, sworn to as bequeathed to the different legatees, out of the hands of the Commissioners fur the Reduction of the National Debt, there bad been any unfair, play whatever -resorted - to. _ _ • Alderman Humpbevy was sitting with the Lord Mayor when Mr. Cope attended. The LORD MAYOR said it appeared from what had been represented in some publications, that there were several ridiculous statements afloat relative to the charges upon which Barber had been convicted, reflect ing upon the Magistrate who presided at the examina tions, as well as upon those who conducted the prosecu tions against the persons accused of the offences in which that individual had participated. It had been said that he (the Lord Mayor) had performed the characters of judge and jury on the occasion he alluded to, and the most positive assertions had been made that Mr. Barber was declared, by those with whom he was said to have conspired, to be wholly innocent of the knowledge, or. even of the suspicion, that the wills in which he had been professionally engaged by Fletcher and. others, Were not Ow fide instruments. There were, it would seem, many who were influenced by the reiterated assurances of Barber, that he merely acted in his professional capa city, and by the apparently candid appeals which he made to the public, by referring to the whole tenor of his previous Conduct, to suppose that he was a martyr. Thatimpression might have been easily communicated to those who did not take the trouble to read the evidence ' • but nothing could be more fallacious in the minds of all who had observed the proceedings ; and he would not have taken the slightest notice of the matter, if it were not that people who were endeavouring to excite sympathy in favour of Barber continued to assert that those who were charged as his accomplices most peremptorily declared him to be an innocent man. llis Lordship wished to know from Mr. Cope, whether he had heard anything relating to the subject before the prisoner had been re moved from Newgate. Alderman HU3IPIIERY —I think it necessary to inform your Lordship that I was in the gaol of Newgate yes terday, and, having heard that such reports as you have alluded to were in circulation, I made very particular inquiries upon the subject upon the spot. I have learned that the principal persons concerned with Barber had told a a very different story to Mr. Cope and the Chaplain of the prison. Mr. COPE said—After the conviction of the prisoners, Barber expressed great dissatisfaction at the verdict, •and expressed an anxious desire to see and communicate with the Sheriffs. I asked him for what purpose, being willing to do anything consistently with my duty. He replied, I am desirous that the Sheriffs should be pre sent while I read a declaration which I have drawn up, and which I want Fletcher, Saunders, Mrs. Saunders, and Mrs. Dorey to sign. It is to the effect that they all declare my innocence as regards these transactions, and that they believe I acted merely as a professional man. I said that I did not believe the Sheriffs would consent to be present under such circumstances, and that it was also my opinion that the Magistrates Would object to agree to such a proposition ; and I sug gested to him the propriety of ascertaining whether the other prisoners would be willing to sign such a declaration. Mr. Barber agreed to this suggestion, and Mr. Davies, the ordinary, and I accordingly asked each of the parties the necessary question. Mrs. Dorey, when I asked her whether she was willing to sign a declaration, that she kelieved Mr. Barber to have no guilty knowledge of the transactions of which he was convicted, replied " Certainly not, for Mr. Barber knew all about it. I cannot sign any thing of the kind." I also put the same question to Fetcher, and he also de clined to sign any declaration of the kind, as Barber was well acquainted with every thing about this trans action. To the chaplain, who communicated with them, they spoke in similar terms, assuring him that they could not make any such declaration, as Mr. Barber knew every thing about the matter. 'When I went to Saunders and his wife, and asked them whether they would have any objection to sign an instrument of the kind, they replied that they had not. Mrs. Saunders stated, that she had been only concerned in one case, and that she had only seen Mr. Barber, and that in his professional capacity, for a moment in the business ; 'and of course she could have no objection. Alderman IRrstpuErty—Had tie prisoners any op portunity of communicating with each other ? Mr. Cope—Not the least opportunity of communicating with each other in the prison. They might have spoken to gether in the dock of the Court. There was no possi bility of preventing that. Alderman HUMPHERY—Mr. Cope has exactly stated what I heard yesterday. I will answer for the correct ness of his report. The LORD MAYOR—It is, in my opinion, necessary to remove wholly the impression that Barber, who was shrewd and clever enough to take in all the rest, was himself the dupe of any of them. I should not, how ever, consider myself bound to take notice of the falla cious reports if I had not heard that they were most per tinaciously made, and had obtained credence to a certain extent, for it has been added that injustice has been done to Barber by the alleged refusal to allow the de claration of his innocence to be made by his fellow prisoners. Alderman TIUMPHERY said, that what had been just stated would most satisfactorily set the matter at rest. lie had felt very great astonishment at the prevalence of the report that Barber was innocent, but he confessed that that astonishment was much increased upon hear ing a brother Alderman positively declare that he was convinced of the innocence of Barber. The Loan MAYOR—Upon what did he found that belief ? _ _ Alderman lIIIMPHERT—I believe, upon the mere statements which Barber made to him in prison. The LORD MAYOR—It is not to be won iered at, then, that a report of such a nature should find people ready to support it, when a City Magistrate actually gives it currency. _ _ CLERKEN WELL. Wetherall, a poulterer, in Newgate-market, was ehargad with the following assault upon Anne Morgan, the wife of a mechanic, living in Princes-street, Soho. The complainant, who seemed to be in a very weakly condition, deposed that, at ten o'clock on the previous night, she was returning home, with her infant in her arms. At the corner of Russell-square she stopped a moment, when the prisoner, who was talking to a female on the pavement, knocked her down, and kicked her. A police-constable came up. She did not wish to prosecute. Sergeant Dodd, 9 E, said an attempt had been made to buy off the complainant, who was therefore reluctant to give her evidence. She had been severely injured. Police-constable 90 E deposed, that hearing female cries, he ran to the corner of liussell-square, where a crowd of five or six persons had assembled. The woman was standing by the railings, and the prisoner was sund ing before her in a menacing attitude. Sergeant Dodd stated that the woman was Convfyed to a surgeon's house in Marchmont-street, who recom mended her to be taken at once to the hospital. A stretcher was sent for to the station-house in order to convey her to the hospital. The stretcher and two policemen were sent to the surgeon's, but the woman refused to leave her little child, and she was conveyed home in a cabriolet. Prisoner—l was talking to a girl in Russell-squaro, when the woman came up and used a disgusting ex pression. Mr. GREENWOOD (to the prisoner)—Did you use any bad language towards this man ? Complainant—l never said a word to him, your Worship. Sergeant Dodd said that when the prisoner came to the station-house he stated that the complainant had used a filthy expression. (The sergeant then wrote the word down on a slip of paper, and handed it to the bench.) The prisoner called as a witness Caroline Strickland, the person to whom he bad been talking. She deposed that she was a servant out of place, and had been talk ing to the prisoner, when the woman came up and used a bad expression. At the request of the Magistrate she wrote the word on a slip of paper, and handed it to him. Mr. GREENWOOD remarked that the expression which the prisoner said she had used, and that which the wit ness said the used, were as different as black and white. lie did not believe the woman used any indecent ex pression. He fined the prisoner IL los., or a fortnight's imprisonment.—The fine was paid at once. John Barnes was charged with robbing his father, and a lodging-house keeper with whom he resided, was com mitted for trial. The prisoner surrendered himself to the officer at the Featherstone-street police-station, and acknowledged the commission of the robberies, to which he said dis tress had driven him. He said he was anxious to be sent to prison, having been from time to time an inmate of different workhouses, and that he had been recently starving in the streets. DREADFUL SHIPWRECKS. Ilv the late arrivals from the Mauritius, the most painful intelligence has been received relative to a dreadful gale of wind that visited that island in the month of January 14,4, during which, we regret to say, Ail Indianian named the Hugh Mantle, 538 tot 4 burden, and two emigrant ships and , two ether vessels, were completely wrecked. Amon g the bitter was the ship Amity, belongng to Liverpool, a very fine vessel, 600 tons burden, with 180 emigrants on board, begides the crew. The ship, wh i c h w as quite a new one, sailed from Liverpool In the early part of June last, for Bombay, an d made a splendid passage. From Bombay she proceeded to the Mauritius, with emigrants for the island, which Place she reached in safety in the latter p art of Decemb er , and remained in the harbou r, in com p an y with seven other vessels,letters until the hurricane broke forth. It appears, from the received, that the storm commenced cr, , l -. adorning iminedlateTy the master, of the 3d of January, 4/14 v ~ observed'it Cantaikt Wrighteion,approaching, he applied to the Pert-office to obtain a pilot, in order to run the ship into the inner harbour, where she would be better sheltered; but none could be had, they having been engaged for the other vessels. .As the day advanced the wind increased greatly, with a heavy rolling sea, and by nine o'clock there was a violent storm. The Amity had both anchors out, with 140 fathoms of cable, in order that. she might ride easily, but the violence of the sea worked her about in a most fearful man ner; and frequently, during the night, the waves rushed Along the decks, sweeping everything before them. At 11 o'clock a large ship, which lay at the Amity's stern, commenced firing minute guns and discharging rockets and blue lights for assistance. One of the vessels that left Liverpool at the same time as the Amity did, unable to bear up against the storm, broke away from her anchors, and was hurled among the rocks. Two other ships shared the same fate. They were driven from theii anchors and were carried with terrific force on shore; and unfortunately, these were also laden with emigrants, who had been shipped at Calcutta for the Islands. The Amity weathered the gale until S o'clock on th e morn ing of the 4th, when her cables were snapped by tleos'force of a tremendous sea, and in an instant, in sight of thousantjs of persons, crowded along the coast, she was thrown upon the reef of rocks netr the inner harbour, where every one on board would inevitably have perished but for the judgment and courageous conduct of the commander, Captain Wright son. Having advised-the emigrants to remain quiet, and to act under his directions, he ordered the masts to be cut away, which being immediately executed by the crew, had the effect of lightening the vessel, and the succeeding waves threw her 'on to a part of the rocks where . the breakers were the least violent. The storm still continuing, it was found impossible for some time to form a communication with the shore, but on the first favourable opportunity presenting itself, Captain Wrightson made an attempt to save the lives of the passengers and his men. After some difficulty he managed to send a log line ashore, and, by the aid of a few circular buoys, which he had brought from Liverpool, he succeeded in having every man, woman, and child dragged from off the wreck safe to shore, though in a deplorable state of exhaustion. The llugh Mat thie, Capt. Sparkes, was wrecked near the same spot. She was lying at anchor near the Bell Buoy, in the outer harbour, with a pilot on board, wl:en the fury of the storm forced her from her cables. An attempt was made to run her into the inner harbour ; but the running tide carried the ship with great force on the rocks. Guns were fired for as sistance, but it was beyond all human power for the inhabi • tants to render any help at the time. In this dreadful state, with the ship full of water, part of her bottom being beaten in by the rocks, did they remain for 10 hours; but, at last, every soul (excepting one man) was saved. The unfortunate person lost was one of the emigrants, who, it ap pears jumped overboard in order to attempt to swim ashore, but was carried away by the sea and was not afterwards seen alive. She had brought over a large number of emigrants from Calcutta, and had also a rich cargo of East India pro duce on board. The last accounts state that the vessel has become a total wreck, and her fragments have been sold by auction. Her loss, with the cargo, is computed at 20,000/., a portion of which will fall on several insurance companies in the City. The lossof the other vessels—the Marion, Capt. Rose; the Malay brig, Capt. Shaw, and the Bordeaux, which had all emigrants on board, took place under precisely simi lar circumstances. They were severally driven from their moorings, and were cast on the rocks adjoining the harbours. Providentially in these instances not a single life was sacri ficed. FURNITURE of the LATE EMPEROR NAPOLEON. On Wednesday, at one o'clock, a sale by auction of the property of the late Lieutenant-General Sir Hudson Lowe, including some portion of the furniture which was in the possession of the Emperor Na poleon during his captivity at St. Helena, took place at the auction-rooms of Mr. Phillips, New Bond-street, by order of the executors of Sir Hudson Lowe, on which occasion there were several Frenchmen present, who appeared to exhibit a lively interest when the various articles, once the property of the late Em peror, were put up. These consisted. of about twenty lots, and which in general possessed little from their intrinsic worth to recommend them. Among them were the following ;—A large mahogany-frame in dulging chair, banded with ebony, on castors, from the Emperor's study, 151. 15s. ; a small circular mahogany pillar and claw' table, on which Napoleon burned pas tiles, 61. 6s. ; a six foot pedestal library table, formed of mahogany and yew tree, at which table he almost always wrote, eighteen guineas ; an ebonyed arm chair, with cane seat and back formed of common materials. (There was a hole in the cane, seat which had been caused by being constantly used, and it was stated by some brokers in the room not to be worth Is. 6d.) The auctioneer stated that from the chair being light, it was carried about by the Emperor, when he took his walks in the grounds at Longwood. It was bought for 6/. An old inkstand, with two cut glass inks, 51. ; a glass cruet and stopper, with the crown and " N." engraved thereon ' IL 16s. ; a swing dressing glass in pillar supports, 61. 15s. ; a mahogany cheat of five drawers (4ef_commanonanaraeture), guineas ; the Order of the Dutch Lion ih gold and white enamel, as instituted by Louis Napoleon, worn by Joseph Buonaparte, and taken from the baggage of the latter at the battle of Vittoria, by a corporal of the 14th Dragoons, 141 ; a very fine portrait of the Emperor, taken from life at St. Helena, eleven guineas ; the Order of the Dragon, with the collar set in precious stones. 101. ; a valuable gold time keeper by Brequet, with gold chain and key, made to go fifty four hours—(twelve of these were made by order of the Emperor, to be distributed by his own hands to the Marshals of France, on which account they were called the Marshal watches), 23 guineas. The article which excited the greatest interest during the sale, was a picture, containing a medallion, inelosi ng a lock of hair of the late Emperor Napoleon, and one of the King of Rome, suspended from three ribbons, worn by the Emperor, to the order of the Legion of Honour the Iron Crown and Re-union, surmounted by an Eagle. At the bottom of the medallion is the following certifi cate by Marchand, the Emperor's valet and executor:— "L e 20 Mars, J'ai donne d'amitie >1 M. Lemetheyer quelques cheveux de l'aiipereur Napoleon, coupes aprls sa mort et trois cordons de la Legion d'Honneur, de la Couronne de fer et de la Re-union. " MARCHAND." At the back of the picture, which is sealed, is the fol lowing certificate of M. Lemetheyer : "Je dtklare sur l'honneur avoir recu de Monsieur Marchand, premier valet de chambre de l'Empereur Na poleon et son executeur testamentaire, tousles objets qui composent cos tableau lesquels ont 6:6 retires en ma presence, du beau necessaire de l'Empereur, pour passer dans ses mains au retour de S.

Marchand conservera mes chereux et en fern faire un bracelet avec un petit cadenas en or pour etre envoye l'Etnperatrice Marie Louise, Ama mere et a chacun de Mei freres, sours, neveux, nieces, au Cardinal, et un plus considerable pour mon fils." The first offer for the picture was fifty guineas ; a spirited competition ensued, at five guineas each bidding, when it was disposed of for ninety-five guineas. The various lots in the catalogue produced about 6801. LLOYD'S SHIPPING. EAST INDIA SHIPPING.

DEPARTMENT OF MEDICAL STATISTICS—WiIIiam Farr, Esq., General Register Office. ACTUARY—F. G. P. Nelson, Esq. This Office Is provided with very accurately constructed tables, by which it can assure unsound lives on equitable terms. Similar tables enable the Society to grant increased annuities on unsound lives, the amount varying with the particular disease. Members of constsmptive farni ies assured at equitable rates. Healthy lives are assured on lower terns than at most other offices. The first Life Assurance Society commenced business in 1705, and the principles of life contingencies, understood at that time to a very limited extent only, have repeatedly undergone important changes and improvements; but till the establishment of this So ciety in 1041 no attempt had ever been made to assure the lives of persons who suffer from disease. The science of statistics has only within a recent period been successfully applied to the duration and mortality of disease, and hence tables on the probability of these results could not have been formed ; and it would evidently have been unsafe and hazardous for any society to have undertaken the risk of assuring the lives of persons afflicted with any particular malady. The statistical in formation, however, now collected, and in possession of this office, is of so great an extent as fully to warrant the extension of life assurance to such cases, and, in fact, to place the appleation of life assurance on diseased lives on a more secure basis than even that on healthy lives. _ . It is hoped that while kept clearly in view that this Society, in common with other offices, will assure the lives of healthy persons, it is as yet the only one established to assure the lives of persons labouring under disease; and to this latter feature particular atten. tion is directed. In the first place, because it opens a larger field for business than all other offices can have unitedly; and in the Second place, because that branch of assurance must, from its own nature, be less hazardous, and its principles rest on a more permanent foundation. These are two highly important facts. and we shall enter into an explanation of each ; and first, as to the prevalence of disease. The period of life most important to an assurance office is that be tween 15-60 years of age, and in the f dlowing remarks we refer exclusively to this period of life. It will be found that the deaths in the metropolis for the two years preceding 1842 were, from all causes, 30,518 ; and from consumption alone, 10,688 ; showing that more than one.third of the total deaths in that period of life takes place from the preva lence of a single disease; and if the same inquiry were instituted with respect to other diseases, such as asthma, dropsy, diseases o f the head, heart, &c., it would be found that more them one-half of the whole population would, on medical examination, be refused admission into an assurance office. If the inquiry be carried to the principal towns in England, like facts are elicited—ln Bir. mingham, Liverpool and Manchester, the deaths from all causes, per annum, are about 5,023, while those from consumption are 1,988, forming considerably more than one-third of the whole. The same thing will be found to hold good in the large towns in Scot land, in six of which the deaths in a given period, from all causes, amounted to 23,078, those from consumption alone to 6,359, and from six important diseases, 9,754; in the latter case forming more than 42 per cent. of the deaths from all causes. On reference to the returns from the city of Glasgow for 1836-1840 It will be found that the deaths in that period, from all causes, were 14,107, from consumption 4,087, and a list of five diseases, 6,423, being more than 45 per cent. of the deaths from all causes. The diseases here alluded to are such as exist in general in a. chronic form, frequently for many years prior to death, but which, an a strict medical ex.mnioarraii. would effectually exclude the persons so affected from the benefit, of life assurance ; and since it thus appears that a majoett*tsf the population is included in this class, the value and importance of the new feature of this society cannot fail to be justly appreciated. The second point to be explained is the fact that there is much less risk in assuring diseased lives. This is a fe +lure of paramount and vital importance to the interests of this society, and deserves to be carefully considered. The real risk incurred in all assurance transactions consists in the chance to which an office is liable of experiencing a different degree of mortality from that expected by the tabjes on which its cacu!ations are founded. This difference is termed the fluctuation of mortality, and will be found to be much less among diseased lives than over the general population, and among selected lives. The deaths from consumption in the metropolis per annum are sufficiently near the annual number which takes place in Glasgow, from all causes, to admit of a comparison, and by reducing the matter to figures it is found that while the fluctuation per annum in the latter case is as high as 45 per cent., in the former it is only 9 per cent., or, in other words, the fluctuation of mortality in consumption was only one-fifth of the other ; and in Manchester, Liverpool, and Birmingham, even with the disadvantage of smaller numbers, the fluctuation does not exceed 3 per cent., showing a remarkable uniformity in the law which determines the mortality of this disease, and that it is more positive and absolute in its results than that which regulates the general population. Consumption has here been selected, not because it was consi. dered more favourable in its results, but simply on account of the larger numbers affording a more satisfactory proof of the question under consideration; but the same test has been applied to a great number of other diseases, and like results obtained. Amnon? nine diseases in the metropolis, including asthma, dropsy, rheumatism, disease of the liver, of the heart, of the nervous system, &c.. the fluctuation was only 7j per cei.t., and in five diseases in a different district the fluctuation was about 7 per cent., while am-mg eleven in another locality, and even with small numbers, the fluctuation did not exceed 6.2 per cent. ; and taking the principal towns in England, including Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, Leeds, Sheffield, &c., time fluctuation over eleven of the more important diseases was 6'4 per cent. _ The remarkable uniformity in these results cannot fail to pro. duce a conviction of the positive character of the law of mortality in disease; indeed, there seems to be nothing within the whole range of the doctrine of probabilities so well defined as the mor. tality of diseased lives. The mortality of the general population has frequently been referred to by writers as an example of the cer tainty of common events, but the preceding remarks must show with how much greater certainty the mortality of diseased lives can be depended on. . _ It is perhaps right to state, that, in applying the test of fluctuation to disease, it has not been confined to one place or class of lives, but has been extended to the principal towns in England and Scotland, as well as to many rural districts in Eng land, and included the experience of one or two large societies of select lives. This has afforded an opportunity of judging of the effects of locality and its sanatory condition on the duration of life, and a remarkable fact has thus been developed, viz., that the value of life generally is much greater in the coun try districts than in large cities; but that of those persons who suffer from disease the value of life is nearly the same. As an example of this—the expectation at the age of 30 in the country districts is 36.7 years; in cities (viz., Glasgow) 27.6 years--diffe. rence 23 per cent, nearly ; but take the case of persons of that age in whom the consumptive tendency is developed, and who will ultimately die of consumption, and their cxpec'ati n of life in the counties of Essex, Suffolk, and Norfolk, will be found to be 14'5, in cities (Glasgow) 14'4„ and in the metropolis, Manchester, Bir mingham, 13.9 ; difference 017 per cent. (or 1.57 per cent.) It therefore appears that while the difference between country and town life in the former can is about 33 per cent., that in the latter instance (consumption) the difference is almost nothing, and the results nearly uniform. The same thing hods good with potne other diseases,,which have been ii.vestigated in this manner. This fact, although not generally understood, is only what might have been expected by a careful consideration of the conclusion formerly arrived at—that the fluctuation of the law of mortality in disease is confined within a very narrow limit, and consequently little in fluenced by external circumstances. It hence appears that the fluctuation in the mortality of diseased lives is much less than among select lives and the population gene. rally, and therefore the risk of assuring diseased lives must also be less. To apply this conclusion to the affairs of an assurance office, it may be stated, that supposing the number of lives in a society, taking only select lives, was such that the table of mortality would indicate 100 deaths per annum, it would be nece•sary to have always sufficient funds at immediate command to meet 145 deaths; on the other hand, an office assuring only diseased lives need not provide for more than 109 deaths per annum ; that is to say, the risk of assuring diseased lives is to that of average lives as 9 to 45, or only one fifth. This fact is highly important to the interests of this Society, and establishes beyond doubt the safety and correctness of the principles on which it is founded. For further information, reference is made to the prospectuses and . other published d ocum • ints of the Soc i ety, w hi ch may b e o b. tamed, on application at the Society's offices. F. G. P.

THE EGYPTIAN -HALL, MANSION HOUSE. The splendid banquettin7room at the Mansion Ironse known as the Egyptian Hall. in which the Lord Mayor entertained the dignitaries of the Church yesterday, and which has always been admired for its extent and bold ness of design as one of the finest apartments to be found in any public building in the metropolis, has re cently been subjected to a process of repairing and de corating which now renders it also one of the most elegant and beautiful. The series of Corinthian columns ranging along each side of the hall, surmounted by the rich entablature ap propriate to that order of architecture, - and by which the lofty concave roof is supported, gave to the apartment an air of nobility which never failed to excite those lams of stateliness and grandeur which are usually aseociated with all that pertains to the office of Lord Mayor of London. The injurious effects of time, however, had greatly Obscured and nearly obliterated many of• these less prominent features, which, though compara tively insignificant if regarded in detail, when skill fully Iplended together, become so essential in enhancing the general - effect of a building, or any other object of art. The works reeeetlyexecuted were, therefote, prin cipally directed to the restoration of existing details to their due degree of prominence ; the addition of some further ornaments and enrichments where most needed ; and the harmonising of all the component parts, so as t o ensure an unity and consistency of appearance through out the whole ; and the way in which these intentions have been carried out reflect the highest credit upon the taste and skill of all parties who have been concerned in the management and execution of the repairs. The whole of the walls -1 ;1nd ceilings have been painted 'Several times, and finished off in a delicate fawn colour, the chasteness of which is considerably heightened by being what is technically called flatted, which, by pr e - venting the disagreeble appearan ce o f gloss, adds much to the purity of style and colour. Various ornaments and decorations attached to the walls and ceilings, as also the statues occupying the series of niches on that side of the hall which is opposite the grand entrance, are picked out in a suitable tint to afford a relief to the general colour. The most striking alteration that has been made is in the appearance of the double row of lofty columns and pilasters, which extend from one end of the hail to the other, a id the entablature and carved roof, by which they are surmounted. The length of the hall being about to feet, and its breachh;6o, there are ten of these column* and pilasters on each side, standing out about ten feet from the walls. The whole of the shafts are being re.cut, and the arrises of the fillets and sweep of the flutes,m.ide perfectly true, thus removing many blemishes and irre gularities which before disfigured them. Instead of their former colour, which was ie imitation of Sienna marble, they are new painted French white, a change which con tributes wonderfully to the improvement of the general aspect of the room, while the effect of this delicate colour is considerably heightened by the whole of the fillets of the 'shafts, together with the fillets and smaller toruses in the bases, and the capitals of the columns and pilasters, being gilt in pure gold. The several enriched parts in the entablature, and particularly the cor nice, with the enrichments on the modillions, and rosettes in the s,offites, have also, for the first time, been heightened up in gold, and now present a peculiarly ele gant appearance. The concave ceiling, which extends the whole length of the hall, and across from one row of columns to the, other, is divided into forty-five square compartments, or coffers, each containing a large rosette. In each of these coffers there has been added an enriched moulding of 'egg and tongue, corresponding in form and pattern with similar ornaments in the entablature; besides which, there has been placed along the centre of the margins dividing the coffers held wreaths, composed of the laurel leat; with bands at their intersections. These additional orna ments have entirely relieved the ceiling of the plainness which formerly characterised it, and, together with the rosettes, being all heightened in gold, make it harmonise delightfillly with the colouring and enrichments of the entablature anti columns. It is almost needless to mention that, in these exten sive improvements and decorations, all the incidental appurtenances of the Hall have received a proportionate degree of attention—such, for instance, as the frames and mouldings of the large looking-glasses at each end, which have been newly gilt, and the splendid cut-glass lustres and chandeliers - , which have been also cleaned sad rehung, and their brackets and supports regilt. The effect of the whole has been to render this truly noble apartment more than ever deserving of the com mendation bestowed on it by that eminent judge in matters of taste, George the Fourth, who, when Prince Regent, repeatedly remarked that the Egyptian Hall at the Man sion House was one of the finest roems he had ever seen. The whole of the works have been executed according to designs and specifications prepared by Mr. Bunning, the present architect and surveyor of the Corporation. The Lord Mayor and the members of the Committee of General Purposes, particularly Deputy Thomas, their Chairman, have paid muck attention throughout the pro gress of the works, and have reason to congratulate themselves upon the satisfactory result. The contractor was Mr. Joseph Taylor, who, during the last Mayoralty, fulfilled a contract admirably for extensive repairs and decorations in other parts of the Mansion-house. The amount of the late ,contract was nearly 1,400/. ; and, notwithstanding the extent and beauty of the works, the amount has not been exceeded by the addition of the slightest sum for "extras," a circumstance which speaks much for the professional accuracy and judgment of the gentleman who designed and executed them.

Tun WILL FORGERS.—It is understood that in the course of the ensuing week Barber and Fletcher will he removed from the Millbank prison on board ship, for the purpose of being conveyed to New South n W: o a v l e e d s, to w htihlee Newe expected Sr s a o t n S , p a uennduernsv ille. Ibte will thus be seen that with regard to Barber the hopes, if any were entertained, of his having his sentence coin muted, or of his being pardoned, are at an en& Mrs.. Dorey and her sister, Mrs. Saunders, who, it will be re • collected, were sentenced to two years' imprisonment, were removed on the Tuesday previous to the de parture of the male convicts from Newgate. As the sentence on the females was merely that they be im prisoned for the period of two years, they were taken to Giltspur-street Compter, and f or th e fi rs t d ay or two they wer e se t to pick oakum, which coming to the knowledge of the proper authorities, an order was sent down to take the two prisoners from this species of labour, and which, according to the regulations of the Compter, is deemed hard labour. They are now employed at needlework. Since their conviction and sentence their health has greatly improved. Previous to the removal of Mrs. Saunders she was allowed to see her husband for the purpose of taking farewell, but the parting was not of that affecting description which too often occurs within the walls of a prison. They merely bade each other good by, with a hope that th e y might see each other again. While Barber and Fletcher were in Newgate they never conversed together, the former invariably doing all he could to avoid his companion in guilt ; at the same time, whenever he had any occaaiott to speak to those connected with the gaol, he at every op portunity declared his innocence. A short time previous to being removed from Newgate, Barber requested Fletcher to sign a declaration to the effect that he was in nocent, and that his only eonnection with the will forgeries was his being employed as the attorney. Fletcher re plied that he was very sorry for the situation in which Barber was placed, but he knew very well that he (Fletcher) could not sign such a declaration. On being informed that an order had arrived for his removal, Barber then for tho first time appeared to sink. - His spirits left him, and he evidently became convinced that 11l ebauee of escape was over. When the convict were brought into the yard to be removed, neither he nor Fletcher took the slightest notice of each other. As the expenses of the Treasury prosecutions are paid by the Government and not by the county, the amount. of the above trials cannot be ascertained, although it is. SUU,Sed to be about 1,0001 Mr. A.
