The quantity o f killas accessible now at the rubble heap is very inferior, and gives very little gold in treatment.

The following is from the Yudanamutana Copper Mining Company of South Australia, Limited :—The directors have received advices from their superinten dent, dated March 2. He states : "We have sold here during the past month three parcels of rough copper, for neither of which have we yet agreed to the per -tentage ; in the meantime, we have drawn on account £2,460 ; the account sales shall be forwarded by next mail.

This morning the coroner, Mr. Humphries, re sumed the adjourned inquest at the Old Town-hall into the circumstances connected with the death of Mr. Benjamin Heasman, whose body was found in the cupboard of an unoccupied house, No. 20, Elgin-place, Hackney. It will be recollected that two persons had identified the body of the deceased as their relative, and that the last inquiry had been adjourned in order to allow time for a minute examination of the contents of the stomach of the deceased. Dr. Henry Letheby said be had received a sealed jar from the coroner's officer, but, being compelled to leave town, he had given it to Mr. Tilley, joint professor of chemistry at the London Hospital, with directions to make examination of half of the con tents, and to reserve the other half until his return, when they would make the examination together. Mr. Tilley said he received a sealed jar from Dr. Letheby and a 2oz. phial. The jar contained a stomach unopened ; it was in a semi-decomposed state, and on the examination of half of it he found it to contain opium. Coroner—There can be no mistake about that. Witness—No, sir. The bottle had also contained opium. Dr. Letheby said the last witness in his presence examined the other half of the stomach, and there was unmistakable signs of opium. This disappears in h stomach, but it rema i ns i n th e d ea d. A l t ar e ge living quantity must have been taken, and death mus t have been very quick, owing to absence of food. The Coroner said that the jury would now have consider their ve r di c t, and one of the ques tions to they would have to determine was the ques tion of identity, although that had been pretty well settled. The evidence of Mr. James Heasuaan and Mrs. Heasman was prettly clear upon that point. The evidence of Dr. Gant had accounted for the bruise over the eye, which was owing to natural causes, arising from decomposition. They would remember that although the deceased left the luna tic asylum destitute of money , yet h e cou ld , by l of a portion of his c l ot h es, get suffi cientcispesing purchase the laudanum. The j ur y were of opinion that th e b o d y was t h a t of Benjami n Ileasman, and that d eat h was occa sioned to il by poison administered by hi s own h an d h an unsound state of mind. wei n One of the jurors stated that after the conclusion of the p r oceedings on the last occ as i on M rs. B an k s had expressed dherself to him perfectly satisfied that the body of ex the deceased was no t th a t o f h er husband. r MARKETS—(This Day.) COLONIAL AND FOREIGN PRODUCE. SUGAR.—The market has opened quietly, with prices tending in favour of buyers. Stock-49,700 tons, against 68,800 tons last year. COFFEE.—The market is steady, with moderate supplies offering. Stock-14,885, against 10,293 tons a year. TEA.—Privately, a fair amount of business is passing at former rates. Small public sales have opened without alteration in prices. RICE. —The market is quiet. Stock, 15,900 tons against 15,500 tons last year. SALTPETRE.—Deliveries increasing, but the stock is 15,900 tons against 15,500 tons last year. JUTE.—Only a limited business is passing, and rates are unaltered. HEMP.—Manilla is cheaper, being quoted at £49. METALS.—Tin continues steady. Smelters' rates for copper are firm, but some parcels from second hands ha ve sold on rather easier terms. TURPENTINE remains in limited demand. American, 34s ; French, 33s 6d. PETROLEUM is quoted steady, at is 2id to 1 21d on the spot, and is 5d September and December. Oias.—Linseed is quiet. 33s 6d on the spot, Hull, 33 8 to 33s Bd. Rape in moderate request, at 35s 6d to 468 on the spot for English brown, and 36s 6d to 38s forward. Olive is dull. Malaga, at £7O, is rather cheaper. P a l m and cocoa nut are unchanged. TALLOW The market is quiet, at 44s 6d on the spot ; 44s 6d to 44s 9d, April to June : 44s 9d to 455, last three months. POTATOES, &c. Supplies of lyst regents and fl akes have very much diminished, and now run short. Prices are consequently higher for those descriptions. Common qualities remain without much change, but generally the trade is steadier and quotations firmer. HAY AND STRAW. At Smithfield and Whitechapel there was an increased demand for meadow hay this morning, and prices ranged fully 2s per load higher. Straw in good supply, and a moderato sale. COTTON. LivEßrooL, April 21.—Sales to-day probably 8,000 bales, Market quiet; prices drooping. The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and Vie short exchange on London is 251. 170. per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price 01 ibid. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about the same price in Paris and in London.

By operas in our Italian theattes—by a performance or two of Rossini's " Stabat" and Mozart's inevitable and tedious "Twelfth Mass" (if Mozart's it be, which many have doubted); on Good Friday, by a sacred performance of music at Sydenham, preluded by Mr. D. Godfrey's military band within the Palace, and without it by hyptethral sports, such as "kissing in the ring," &c., for the delectation of penitential young men and maidens. The Parisian journals announced for the churches open that day the "Stabat Mater" of Palestina, and " The Seven Words," set by Haydn, and, again set by M. Dubois, also by other persons less known to fame. Having contrasted thus the observance in France and in England, of what is surely the saddest day in the whole year, the Athenaeum remarks in conclusion that—" The anachronism, to say the least of it, of our Protestant Good Friday, when made a sort of semi-sacred holiday, is worth nothing." POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-THIS DAY MARLBOROUGH-STREET. RECEIVING STOLEN SlLK.—Elizabeth Atkins, of No. 54, New Compton-street, was charged with receiving 15 yards of silk, value £3 17s. 6d., the property of Mr. Peter Robinson, Oxford-street, silkmercer, and 15 yards of silk, value £4 17s. 6d., the property of Mr. James Shoolbred, of Totten ham-court-road, silkmercer, well knowing the same to be stolen. Mr. Bale, assistant to Mr. Peter Robinson, said that the 15 yards of silk produced, of the value of £3 17s. 6d., were obtained by means of an order brought to the shop by a boy, the order purporting to come from Miss Kalls, Baker-street, Portman square, a customer of their house. He had since ascertained that Miss Kalls had never sent the order. Margaret Smith, a charwoman, living in Drury lane (who had been previously charged with being iu unlawful possession of the silk, but discharged), said that the piece of silk produced was given to her to pledge by the prisoner. Mr. Ball said that a piece of blue silk was also obtained from the shop. The witness said that she had pledged a piece of blue silk for the prisoner. An assistant to Mr. Brovington, of Princes-street, Leicester-square, pawnbroker, said that ou Satur day the last witness came to the shop and pledged a piece of silk, and on her corning again yesterday with another piece she was stopped and given into custody. Henry Dawson, a plain clothes officer of the C division, and who showed great activity in the case, said, in answer to Mr. Mansfield, that he wished for a remand, as great deal of silk having been obtained from different silk mercers by means of fictitious orders. Mr. Mansfield remanded the prisoner, and re 'used bail. A FRENCHMAN CHARGED WITH ROBBERY: — Adolphe Bonin, a Frenchman, was charged, before Mr. Mansfield, with stealing a book from the shop of Mr. Hatfield, bookseller, of Tottenham-court road. Miss Jane Hatfield, daughter of the prosecutor, said that on the previous evening the prisoner came into her father's shop and asked for the Inter- national, and at the same time took a book off the counter and put it into his pocket. She told her father what the prisoner had done, and on her father taxing the prisoner with having taken a book, he denied having done so, but afterwards took the book from his pocket and offered to pay for it, but her father gave him into custody. Mr. Hatfield said that the prisoner was in the constant habit of coming to his shop for papers, and he was constantly missing books after the pri soner left. Police-constable Braham, 104 E, said the pri soner gave a false address. The evidence having been read over to the pri soner by Mr. Albert, he reserved his defence, and was committed for trial. WESTMINSTER. CADGING EXTRAORDINARY.—EIizabeth Williams and Susan Davis, middle-aged women, were a charged with begging , and Daniel Sharpe was charged with inciting them to beg. Wm. Woodup, an officer of the Mendicity Society, said a little before 6 o'clock on Monday evening be was in Warwick-square, and saw Davis go up to a gentleman and asked him " Please to relieve a poor woman in distress." Witness watched her walk back and stop a lady, whom she begged of in a similar manner. Williams then came down, and Davis also accosted the same gentleman, who gave her ld. or' id. Sharpe was s t an di ng i n the Belgrave-road, with a bundle under his arm containing some clothing. Finding witness was watching him, they all three joined and proceeded down Belgrave-road together to Chu rton-street, Williams begging of another lady, and Davis beg ging of a gentleman in a carriage, separating as they did so. The woman Davis crossed to the left-hand side of Churton-street, and Williams and Sharpe remained on the right. Sharpe said, " Go and try if you can get something down that street there." He afterwards 'said, " Have you got any money ? She said, " I have only got one - penny in the world ; I have had nothing in my guts to-day." Sharpe said, " That woman over there has got plenty of money," pointing to Davis, " I don't care as long as I can get enough for my lodgings." They joined again and witness took them into custody. Davis declares she never begged, but offered fusees for sale ani sold a box. She had left her husband on account of his ill treatment. __ Williams said Sharp e was her sweetheart. She was engaged to him like, and had bad seven children by him, and he was a most respectable working man. They never begged, and knew nothing of Davis. The prisoners were remanded till Friday, and were removed, trusting that the Lord might for give Woodup for the injury he had done them by incarcerating them. THAMES. A MARINE THIEF. —William Simpson, a sailor who looked in good condition, was brought before Mr. Benson, charg e d with stealing a suit of clothes, the property of another seaman named Roderick. Yesterday evening Peter Smith, a constable in the West India Dock, saw the prisoner leaving the dock, and he looked so very bulky that he was in duced to stop him and ask him if he had anything about him not his property. The prisoner said he bad not, called out " All right, governor," and was rolling out of the dock in true nautical style, when the constable seized him and dragged him into his box. The prisoner then said that he had a waist coat in his bosom. Smith took it from him, and found a pair of trousers round his neck, inside up like a scarf. The prisoner had a coat on under his own. Smith asked the prisoner to what ship he belonged, to which he replied to the Era. Smith took the prisoner on board the Era in the export dock, and saw the prosecutor walking the deck. He was asked if he knew the prisoner. Roderick said he did not, and owned the suit of clothes taken from the prisoner. They had recently cost him £3. The prisoner said, " I may as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb. I stole them." Mr. Benson asked the prisoner if he would plead guilty or not guilty. If he pleaded not ,guilty he should commit him for trial. The prisoner, who treated the case with great in. difference, said he was guilty, and that was all about Mr. Benson said the prisoner had committed a very serious and dastardly robbery to rob another orked hard for hi s c l ot h es . H e sailor, who had 5 sentenced the prisoner to three months' imprison ment with hard labour. The prisoner _All right, your honour.

RUBINI V. MACABE. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a professor of natural magic, against the defendant, the well known Frederick Macabe, 'the vocalist and ventriloquist, for damage caused by his ejectment of the plaintiff. _ . The facts of the case appeared to be that the defendant, Mr. Macabe, was the lessee of a portion of the Egyptian Hall, at which place he is now ex hibiting, and the plaintiff wishing to give his enter tainment at the same place in one of the adjoining rooms, saw the defendant and his agent and entered into an arrangement for the possession of the place, and actually commenced his performances. The ven ture did not turn out a success, and the result was the plaintiff became liable to Mr.:Macabe for some arrears. The defendant, finding he could not get the money that had been agreed he should receive, gave the plaintiff notice either to pay his arrears, or he should refuse him possession of the room any longer. The plaintiff contended. that the defendant had no right to • eject him for a certain time, which had not arrived, but Mr. Macabe took possession of the apartment, and of course the plaintiff was prevented from continu ing his performances. Ile coutendel that the ejectment was illegal, and accordingly brought his action. The jury, after hearing evidence on both sides, gave a verdict for the defendant. HOLY WEEK IN HUNGARY. The special correspondent of the Times, writing from Pesth on April 15 , says :—The visiting of churches during Holy Week is a custom which is generally kept up by the Roman Catholic popula tion of Hungary. . Above all, in the afternoon few people will pass a church without looking in and saying their short prayers. The churches are open till late in the evening, inviting every one who feels prompted to step in. But Good Friday is the day above all when regular rounds are made of all the churches. In every church one of the side chapels is fitted up so as to resemble the Holy Sepulchre: a rocky grotto, with the effigy of the dead Saviour in wood or wax underneath ; above, ' a couple of angels adoring the Host, which is exposed ; all round, flowers and candel abras, with lighted tapers, and in front two soldiers as sentinels. Besides, in all places which boast of a hill in their neighbourhood a Calvary is set up, at which you arrive by passing the twelve stations which, according to tradition, were made on the road. At each of the stations a pictorial representation of the event is encased in a shrine, at which the pilgrims to Calvary kneel down and say their prayers. On the top there is either a chapel or simply three high crosses, which you can see from a distance. Pesth has no hill near, and therefore no Calvary ; besides, the pouring rain on Good Friday would have probably deterred most pilgrims. Th e bells, which scarcely cease ringing during the week, are silent on that day. Their joyous sound is ill suited to the mourning; it is replaced by the dead sound of wooden rattles. Saturday afternoon is the celebration of the feast of the Resurrection, which goes on till late in the evening. Every church chooses a different hour, so as not to interfere with each other, and if the day is fine, as it was this year, the effigy of the risen Saviour and the Host are carried about in proces sion through the streets. The whole town is out, and collected in the places where the processions pass. Before every church the waxchandlers pitch their tents, while right and left of them you see rows of women selling coloured Paschal eggs. These Paschal eggs form a most important feature in the Easter festivals. For days before they are the only objects of the thoughts and dreams of the rising generation. To have many bright-coloured eggs is the ambition of every schoolboy, and to test their strength against those of his companions. He is quite a hero who has hit upon one or two with very hard shells, for he may become the proprietor of many eggs, though broken ones. There is no end of childish cunning displayed in the game. The eggs are sounded against the teeth, and thus an opinion is formed of their relative strength. Some. times the trial is small end against small end, some- times small eud against the large.one. Then there is goose egg against hen egg, or turkey against guinea fowl, and he whose egg remains intact be comes the happy possessor of the broken one. But it is not only for children that the Paschal eggs are meant ; they serve as presents among grown-up young people, and are for this purpose made of sugar, and ornamented with devices and sugar bas-reliefs anything but holy. A couple of white doves, a bright nosegay, or a brightly-dressed young couple tell their own tale. Besides, hard boiled eggs are an indispensable item in the Eastern repast. THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF WALES AND THE CARDINAL ARCHBISHOP OF DUBLIN. The Freeman's Journal of Monday says :- 44 The Attorney-General favoured the world, in his own fashion, with a recondite piece of wisdom—' Tern pora mutautur nos et mutamur in illis.' We shall give:lllm an example of its truth. Only a few years have gone by since a Lord Lieutenant refuse 1 to meet a cardinal at Dublin Mansion House festivi ties; so runs the story, that " the chivalrous Eglin ton," whoseim ige i s th e delectation of the Univer sity Club windows, would not meet such an embo diment of ' Papal aggression ' as his late Eminence Cardinal Wiseman ! ' Under which king, Bczo nian,' did that piece of knightly liberality occur? Under a Tory Prime Minister, whose English At torney-General was an active lawyer,who, with true Tory tact, slipped into the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill a clause which gave to that insulting but innocuous enactment its bitterest sting. Times have changed since then ; year after year have shown the hide ousness of bigotry more plainly ; effete notions of intolerance grow mustier and mustier ; exclusion is no longer a recognised policy, and ascendancy has seen its day. A wise toleration now guides the statesman, and a generous libe rality regulates the policy of the governing classes. So a line of action towards the Catholic priesthood, far different from that revelled in with impunity in other days, becomes imperatively neces sary, and we recognise the working of the wise change in the minds of men. Now, again, under Tory rule, a Lord Lieutenant sits in Dublin Castle dispensing with befitting dignity, with ' hand open as the day,' princely hospitalities to princely guests. All honour to the fedi:lg which seems to move the noble heart of an Irish proprietor, who lives amongst his Irish tenantry, and who has learned to compre hend what is due to Irish feeling. The Roman Ca tholic Prelate of this diocese is invited, with every circumstance of honour and respect, to share the Viceregal hospitalities, by his proper designation. ' The Cardinal Archbishop of Dublin,' is invited to meet the eldest son of the Sovereign, the future king of these realms, and his illustrious consort. Among the distinguished personages present, to his Emi nence is given his proper place, next immediately after royalty, and all that is due to his rank is freely accorded to it. Nay more, that Princess wh ose winning beauty and gracious mien are making Irish hearts her subjects indeed, shows especial favour to the head in this country of the Churc h which is the Church of the affections of the Irish people ; to his Eminence invitations are repeated, and the respect and favour in which the Prince and Princess of Wales have learned to hold this Prince of the holy Roman Church are openly and nobly evidenced. No act of the royal visit will be more gratefully re ceived than this. It shows that our royal visitors know that the way to the hearts of our Catholic people is by showing to their beloved pastors that respect and considergtion which are due to them. Long withheld, the recognition of the rank and position of a Roman Catholic prelate in this country has now been freely and boldly made, on an occasion so monstrous that henceforth intolerance, bigotry, or weakness cannot, must not, draw back from a like acknowledgment. All honour to the Marquis of Abercorn for acting on the dictates of a noble feeling! All honour to the Piince and IPrincess of Wales, who boldly despise foul faction, and show openly how they desire to win a grateful and a pipes people's Joe." IMPERIAL PARLIABIENr HOUSE OF COMMONS—LAsT EvErznici The SPEAKER took the Chair at 4 o'clock. NEW WRITS. On the motion of Colonel TAYLOR new writs were ordored to issue for Lincolnshire, Eastern Division of Kent, and Radnorshire, in the place of Sir J. Trollope, Sir B. Bridges, and Sir S. Walsh, called to the House of Peers. A new writ was also ordered to issue for Leominster, in the room of the Hon. A. Walsh. REGIMENTAL COURTS-MARTIAL. Sir P. O'BRIEN said he had learned that, sinco ho had placed h's question on the paper relative to the case of a sergeant-major of the Grenadier Guards, that substantial justice had been done, and he should therefore withdraw his question. _ JOINT STOCK COMPANIES. On the motion for going into committee of supply, Mr. SiOLLET2 (Tailed tho att•3ution of the house to the very unsatisfactory manner in which certain joint stock companies had for the last eight years performad the functions entrusted to them of supplying irrigation to public lands in India from their own funds, so far as the pecuniary results of their operations hail b3en com municated to Parliament. The hon. gentleman took the •opportunity of referring to the subject of the negotia tions which had taken place on the part of the Govern ment with a view to, the purcaase of stock of the East Indian Irrigation Company at par, when, according to the honourable member, the markot value of the stock was 25 por cant. dis. It was quite true he said that the offer had been refused, but that he believed was solely occasioned by the hope that still yet far better terms might be obtained. The subject of Indian Irrigation was in the Madras Presi dency most inordinately misrepresented, and, with a view of showing the way the thing was worked, he would just refer to the Madras Gazette, which published the amount expended by oue set of irrigation works in that country at £23,000, and set down the profit received at the rate of 664 per cent. and 720 par cent. per annum. He was astonished at that state of things, and on sending to Madras to ascertain whether those figures were true or false, he received au answer that the whole thing was a gross exaggeration. He strongly con demned the practice of Government lending money for the purpose of jobbery in irrigation works, by such com panies as the Madras Irrigation Works, and the East India Irrigation Works, the former of which collapsed after no more public money c )uld be got, and the stock of the latter was almost unmarketable ; at least Such was th• position before the Government offer was made. The hon. gentleman concluded by moving, " That the system adopted by the late Secretary of State for India, Viscount Halifax, and continued by the present Secretary of State for India, of supporting in their present position these companies of adventurers in enter prises unsustained by private credit through means of enormous grants of public money drawn from the Indian Treasury is impolitic, and should be discontinued." Sir S. NORTHCOTE could not assent to such a reso lution. It was not to bo expected that works of irriga tion were undertaken for the advantage of all, and it was net to bo expected that the return would all at once repay the cost. Ho thought in the long run they would prove highly remunerative, although they would not realise the sanguine expectations of their promoters. He felt that the greatest advantage would result in India from a properly planned system of irriga tion. His opinion now was that guarantees to Indian companies should be altogether done away with, but with respect to the irrigation works in Orissa and Madras they were in a state that would produce the best possible effect. 'With respect to the first undertaking he did not think the hon. gentleman imputed jobbery to Lord De Grey and the Indian Council, but if an error of judgment had been committed the hon. gentleman had a perfect right to hold his own opinion. With respect to what had been done in Orissa, he thought that they had been the means of alleviating much of the misery which existed during the famine. Then as far as regarded Behar the company held the concession for a great work, and being without the means of doing it they were just in the position of keeping others from doing it. The company proposed to wait until they had a return from the works at Orissa be- fore they went on with the works at Behar, but the Government of India, thinking that not a satisfac- tery Y arrangement, wrote requesting ..the Govern ment to make certain overtures to the com pany. In all that the Government had done, they had acted within the recommendation of the Gover nor-General of India. The offer made to the company to purchase their works was solely for the benefit of India, and because they seemed totally unable to carry on the works —the Government altogether objecting to grant a guaran tee. He could see nothing in the proposition that had been made which merited the condemnation the hon. member had been pleased to pass on the Government. All they had done was to offer to a sot of gentlemen the money they had spent in the construction of their works, with £50,000 for winding up their establishment. The works were constructed for the general benefit, and although they were not at first so highly remunerative as was ex pected, yet the erection of the works would be, and at no distant date, one of the greatest benefits that could be con ferred on India. Mr. KINNAIRD and Mr. J. B. SMrrH made some remarks on the same subject, and in the end Mr. SMOLLETT with drew his motion. Mr. WA.TKIN moved for a committee to inquire into the condition of Ceylon and the action of its Government, basing his motion on the decay and depopulation of the colony, and on the injudicious system of taxation, of which he gave numerous proofs. The motion was resisted by Mr. A.DDERLEY, who main tained that the only cause of complaint that the colonists had was being compelled to bear a fair share of their mili tary expenditure, and showed the inaccuracy of some of Mr. Watkin's statements as to the decay of the colony. Mr. Alderman Lusx. and Mr. GORST supported the mo tion, and after some observations from. Mr. CHILDERS it was negatived without a division. Subsequently the house spent some hours in discussing, in Committee of Supply, the first class of the Civil Service estimates—those relating to public works and buildings. No great progress was made, the first six votes only being agreed to. The Boundary Bill was read a second time. Several other bills were forwarded a stage, and the house adjourned at 25 minutes to 1 o'clock. THE FENIAN TRIALS. (Continued from our First Edition of yesterday.) In compliance with the sugvstious contained in that letter, various successful efforts were made to obtain various quantities of powder, and ap plication was made to the witness to allow a barrel of powder to be sent to his address. To this he objected. Besides the letter referred to the witness deposed that Murphy had received other letters in secret ink. On the night before the explosion he attended a meeting, at which English, Barrett, and William Desmond were present. In all there were about 12 present, and they had in their possession six or seven pistols. Murphy saying that he had a barrel of powder all right, asked what was to be done for a truck, when Fallan went out, and when he re turned said it was all right. Captain Murphy arranged for the meeting the next day at Desmond's house at half-past 3 to proceed to Clerkenwell to endeavour to release Burke. On the following night he saw Barrett, with several others, in a public-house, and, walkingpart of the way home with him, asked how they got on with the barrel. To this Barrett replied that the captain had failed to light the match, but that the next day he would blow the prison to hell. Up to that time Barrett had gone by the name of Jackson. After the explosion at Clerkenwell, at which he himself was not present, the witness saw a man named Patten in one of the rooms of his house. Later in the evening he saw Barrett at the Welsh Stores, Warwick-street. He then noticed that his whiskers and beard were shaved off. Joking him about the loss, he stated that he had shaved them off so that he might not be identified. An application was made to postpone the cross examination of this witness until to-morrow, owing to the brief time that had elapsed since the counsel for the defence had been instructed. The Lord Chief Justice said he thought it would be better to adjourn until to-morrow. The witness Mullany observed that when at the police-court he said he knew more than he had told, he referred to the letter from Burke. The evidence of Mr. Buggins, who found the stave of the barrel on the roof of a house in Roso man-street, and that of the police-inspector Am brose, who received it, and an officer named So combe, who found another stave, was then taken, being merely of a formal character, and the court adjourned, the jury being delivered into the custody of the bailiff.

The following appeared in onr Latest Edition of yesterday evening:— A sculler's race in outriggers for £5O aside took place this afternoon over the short course from Putney to Mortlake, between Mark Addy, a lands man, of Manchester, and John Pedgrift, also a landsman, of Surbiton-on-Thames. The princi pal condition was, that Addy should allow his opponent two lengths' start, and should himself receive £lO expenses for coming to London to row. The proceedings in the late championship fiasco had put the backers of the men on the alert, and the arrangements were left entirely in the hands of the editor of Bell's Life, who was to appoint starter, and referee, from whose decision there should be no appeal. The difficulty at first experienced about starting was got over by the competing boats being held by men in skiffs until the signal was given to start. Large numbers of persons were present to witness the race, both ashore and afloat, and more than an usual amount of interest was centred in the event, from the fact that Addy had been trained by Kelley and Pedgrift by the Sadlers. Pedgrift had the best station : 2 to 1 on Addy. John Phelps, of Putney, was starter and referee. After a false start they got away smartly, Pedgrift having about a length and a quarter start, instead of two, as specified. The wind was high and the labour severe. Addy gradually caught his man, was level at Simmons's, and at the London Boat House was a length ahead. This he increased, and, aided by Pedgrift nearly running into a barge at the Soap Works, won easily, al though Pedgrift.spurted well and came up towards the end. THE NEW MONTHLY SERIAL, the Oak, the forth coming of which we announced last week, is to be illus trated by George Cruikshank and other artists. M. GUSTAVE DORE is not a painter only, but an admirable musician. It is indeed stated that were he not a great painter he would still be a great musician. A NEW POEM 13Y GEORGE ELIOT (author of " Adam Bede") is in the press, and will be published by Messrs. Blackwood, of Edinburgh. It is rumoured that the price of the Broadway is about to be increased to ls., with a corresponding increase in the value of its contents. THE LATEST GoSsIP ABOUT HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE is that it is to be rebuilt, and that the Prince of Wales will lay the first stono upon his return from Ireland. Theresa is announced to be coming to London. " No TLIOROUGLIFALZ," under the title of " i§iiilol§Orgial gt th§ 19rtri Eigh the also S :- Ig in one that Lding auti , - CO ill - :kens have read h a 1
