The first thing to be done in order to effect a cure is to remove any ob structions, by purifying the blood and causing the discharge of the superabundant fluids from tke body; for this purpose take Holloway's Pills, as they possess such cleansing proper ties that the dropsical patient is gradually restored to health, and the whole frame is permanently i enovated. These Pills may be safely taken by male or female, at all periods of life.—Sold by all Druggists, arid at Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, Load's. Thsuornic or SIERRA LEONE.—The Rev.

(Continued from Tice Sun of yesterday.) Our last instalment of the evidence taken by the Income Tax Committee ended with the close of the third day's elimination. Oa the fourth day Mr. Welsh was agait called in ; we now continue the re port of his evidence:— EDWARD WELSH, ESQ., CALLED IN AND FURTHER EXAMINED. CHAIRMAN—Can you state what number of those parties whom you -have mentioned to have been as sessed were charged in addition to their return by the additional Commissioners ?—I have a return of that kind for the year 14349. [The witness deli vered in the same, which was read.] Will you state the number of persons who chose to be assessed- by the Special Commissioners ?—Two hundred afid fifteen ; that is clear of the compositions, which of course are renewed ; there would be 198 compositions and 215 annual assessments by the Spe cial Commissioners, making 413. Can you state what number of persons were charged beyond their return by the Special Commissioners ? —None in 1849 ; bU by myself there were 12 cases of increase; six of tfiose were not appealed against; Fix of them were appealed against, and wholly con firmed. Lord ELVANE—Tir whole twelve were surcharged? —Yes. Mr. J. WiLsom—Sitcharged upon their returns ? —Upon their returns ; the Special Commissioners can not assess without a return. CHAIRMAN—Can pod state the number for any of the preceding yeti!, that chose to be assessed by the Special Commissioteref- 1 4Can give it, beginning at 1845. In the year 1845 there were 162 annual as sessments and 285 compositions. In the year 1846 there were 187 annual assessments and 285 composi tions, of course continuing from 1845. In 1847 there were 208 annual assessments and 284 compositions; one had been vacated by death or bankruptcy, or some other cause. _ _ _ In those three years were any of those added to by the Special Commissioners ?—Yes; in 1845 there were a great many; I should think nearly 100. Can you state what is the largest amount added on any one occasion ?—I think one was a return at 5001., which was charged 15,0001. Was that paid?—lt was confirmed at 14,0001. upon appeal. And paid, of course ?—And paid. Was that a merchant, or a banker, or what ?—A warehouseman. That was an increase of mine. I have a statement of some of the principal ones. Will you state a few in the different classes ?—The first case I have is No. 240, for the year 1845 ; the amount returned was 3,000/.; it was made 4,500/. ; confirmed upon appeal, and paid. Was that a trader, or in what class P—l have not the description; a trader of course. The next was 7,000/.; charged 10,000/.; confirmed upon appeal, and afterwards compounded fur three years, at the increased sum of 10,0001. Were those surcharges made by you, or by the Commissioners ?—Generally by me. It is your duty to report to the Special Commis sioners ?—Yes. I may state to the Committee, that in making the special assessments I stand in precisely the same position as the clerk to the Commissioners does to the General Commissioners. The assessments are made by me and certified. Will you proceed with your statement.—The next case of consequence is No. 395 ; return 10,0001. ; charged 15,000/. ; confirmed on appeal at 11,0001., and compounded. The next case is one which I before stated, No. 417 ; return 5001.; made 15,0001., and confirmed at 14,0001., but did not compound. Are these the largest amounts that took place in that year P—No. In the next case, No. 430, the return was 15,0001. ; charged 30,000/. ; appealed and confirmed at 20,000/., and compounded for three years. Then No. 491, return 5,500/. ; charged 11,0001.; no appeal; paid the assessment, but not a composition. Mr. J. WlLsoN—Have you those in a tabular form ?—Yes ; they are not all the cases ; they are Just some few which I selected. I have a statement for the years 1843, 1844, 1845, 1846, 1847, 1848, 1849, and 1850. There were more cases in 1845 than in any other year, because it was the year of compounding, and they were looked after more sharply. [The witness then delivered in the document.] CIIAI.I 4 ‘.:AN--Ilstv: , you brought --a- , --return of -- the names of the Commissir4-rs for general purposes, and of the additional Commissioners P—This is the list stating at the bottom the names of the additional Commissioners appointed from the body of general Commissioners in each year, commencing in 1842 and ending in 1848. In 1849 and 1850 I find that no appointments were made, but that the Commissioners of 1848 continued to act. Does it appear by that table how often the addi tional Commissioners have sat contrary, as you state, to the Act ?—No ; I think the sittings of the Com missioners in the year would be about eight or nine, including the additional assessments. Are you correct in stating that you made no repre sentation on those points to the Board of Inland Re venue ?—I have on several occasions spoken to one of the members of the Board, to explain that it was irregular for the additional Commissioners to act in their own cases, and some few months since, on re porting the state of the business of the district, I re ported that it was not done satisfactorily; that it had for some months been getting behind; that for the last few months the Commissioners had not met so regularly as they ought. I have prepared a state ment of the times of making the assessments throughout the years from 1842 to 1850, as well as the times for making the special assessments. It will be seen that the special assessments have generally been made three, or four, or five months before any of the others ; the first year there was delay, because the Act did not pass till July. Mr. RICARDO—The last tables of surcharges which you have given in do not include the whole of the cases in which you have surcharged ?—For the year 1845 those are not the whole of the cases; for the year 1849 they are the exact number; I have gone through the assessments. Lord 11. VANE—They are all the exact number, except in the case of 1845 P—l believe so. Mr. RICARDO—How did you in t he first instance discover that these returns were so ex ceedingly con trary to the real facts ?—There is a great jealousy on the part of the assessors to the assessments being made by the Special Commissioners, because they lose their poundage ; and sometimes the assessors in bringing a return paper, which is required to be put under an envelope for me for special assessment, re mark such a person ought to be assessed so and so, without knowing what the return is ; merely because they are perhaps a little annoyed that the return is taken from them, and I always note those cases and make inquiry. Ido not say that all the cases them did arose from such an observation, but some of ; others from the notoriety of the parties, as regards their position in the City ; others perhaps from the average of the three years. In making my special assessments I have a form which enables me to state in each year the assessment of three years; I never allow the parties to be assessed at less than the ave rage of what they have paid three years previously. Do you surcharge the party to that amount upon no better foundation than the observation of the as - sessor ?—No ; I should apply to the party first, but w here it is pretty clear that he is liable to a larger amount he never sends me an answer, at least very rarely ; I am obliged to make the assessment more. CHAIRMAN — How do you apply ; by letter P—By letter. Mr. RICARDO—Then there is a great deal of diplo macy in discovering these things ?—Yes. Have you no positive means of discovering them ? —A comparison between houses of the same business would give some idea, by the number of clerks and persons they return. It is not an uncommon thing to ask the extent of the business done by a house, where there is any doubt in my mind, of course without mentioning any names of parties. Mr. J. WILSON—Can you get an answer without mentioning the name ?—I never mention the names ; I instance the case of five or six houses. CHAIRMAN—In the same line ?—Yes ; and it some times happens that the assessors are better able to form an opinion of the business, and they always take care to inquire. Mr. J. WlLsoN—Then when you want to make inquiry about the extent of any man's business, in stead of putting your question individually as to that one house, you put five or six houses ?—As soon as I have recorded on the assessment paper the returns which I receive as to the average of the three years' previous assessment, those that are satisfactory I dis pose of at once, but those I have any doubt about I leave open and make the best inquiry I can ; some times I ask the assessors if they know the extent of business done by such a house, and they tell me so and so ; I never mention what the parti es return. In that case you mention the name ?-1 cannot i n that case help mentioning the name. CHAIRMAN—You ask of the assessors to the Gene ral Commissioners ?—Just so. The assessors to the General Commissioners, in all cases where parties elect to b e a sse ssed by the Special Commissioners, lose the poundage P—They d o . Do you get that poundage ?—Not a farthing. , then, under those Mr. Iticsupo—ln point of fact circumstances parties electing to be assessed by you, are really assessed by the ordinary Commissioners ? No; I do not think that the amount of the return of any person who has required to be assessed by the Special Commissioners has ever transpired in the city of London since the year 1842 ; even my own assist ants cannot see the returns; they are under patent locks, and nobody can open them but myself. The parties elect to be assessed by you; you have told us that you received a hint from the assessors as to the assessment which you ought to put upon them, so that in point of fact you, receiving information from those by whom they object to be assessed, assess them according to that information ? No, not always; the assessors do not assess the par ties in any way except where they refuse to make a return, and then they merely give the Commis sioners an estimate of their liability ; therefore the information which they give me in making my as sessment is tantamount to the information which they are required by Act of Parliament to give to the other Commissioners. They are required, on the general Commissioners going through the returns, and making their assessments on those returns where no returns have been received, or even where they have been received and are considered not satisfactory, to deliver in a list and an estimate of the liability of each party, and upon that evidence the Commis sioners make their assessments. Therefore I am placed precisely in the same position in making my assessment as the general Commissioners place them selves, by giving these directions to the assessors in accordance with the Act of Parliament. Lweakl beg to add, that in no case have I ever made known to the assessors the amount of any return to the Special Com missioners, nor that I should adopt the suggestions which they gave. Cuentmeis—Does that remain solely known to the Special Commissioners and yourself ?—Entirely so. Mr. RICARDO—You have not explained to us, when you have made these very large surcharges, upon what information you have made them. You state that you do not take the information from the ordinary assessors ?—I take their information as far as they give it me. Ido not always act upon it. You get your information sometimes by inquiring as to the extent of the business of these parties ?—I think it must be tolerably plain to the Committee that, connected as I have been with the city of Lon don from the year 1842, and having been previously a surveyor of the assessed taxes for 14 years, some time in the city, formerly in Kent, and knowing the parties pretty well, I must have a pretty good know ledge of the persons and of the trade which they are doing in the city of London. I have never been absent from an appeal meeting yet, and have taken some thousands of appeals before the Special Commissioners of all classes, merchants, traders, and professional men. I also had the Inns of Court and Chancery for the first four or five years. I therefore ought to have a toler ably good opinion of the business done by different persons. As to the particular grounds upon which I make every increased charge, I do not feel at the pre sent moment in a position to state them. In many of these cases the parties, notwithstanding that they were conscious of having made so very false a return, nevertheless appealed ?—I think that the appeals afterwards preferred by such parties merely went to the extent of showing that they had made their returns in ignorance. I cannot believe that all of them were disposed to cheat the revenue ; some, perhaps, in deducting interest upon capital, others, perhaps, in charging expenses that were not justified, and in some cases setting against the one Year's profits the entire losses, instead of taking the average of them ; there are many reasons. In that case did they produce their books P—We never require it. The Special Commissioners always issue a precept upon the receipt of a notice to appeal. The precept directs accounts to be sent to me perhaps 10 or 11 days before the appeal is to be heard ; those accounts I always look into; if I find them deficient I at once commence a correspondence with the parties, and I do not allow the appeal to be heard till lam satisfied. If the first account is not suffi cient, I have a second ; if that is not sufficient, I have a third. and so on. Ido not take it before the Special Commissioners for their decision until the matter is quite complete. How is that account vouched ?—lt is a printed form used by the Commissioners, of which I now produce a copy. In point of fact, this is an account which is not compared with - the books P--When the parties are before the Commissioners, if they think fit they can swear them to it, and I believe they are all well in formed that they are liable to be sworn. I appre hend they compare it so as to see that it is perfect, but we do not ask them for their books ; we have no power to call for their books ; it is a mistaken no tion to suppose that books are brought before the Commissioners. CUAIRMAN—In point of fact, have you often called on them to take an oath to the accuracy of this ac count ?—The Commissioners generally ask the appel lant, whoever he may be, " Are you prepared to sweat to this account ? " If he says " No," they will not receive it; if he says " Yes," they take it, and feel bound to act upon it. Mr. RICARDO—But do they not actually swear him P—l have known some few cases at the com mencement of the Act where the parties have been sworn, but very rarely. Generally you take it as sufficient that they should say that they are prepared to swear to that ac count ?—They do not know that they are not going to be sworn. CHAIRMAN—In the course of the last five years have you known any single person sworn ?—No, I think not. Since 1845 our cases of increase have been gradually getting less; we have found the re turns much more perfect. Mr. ROEBUCK—Do you know any case in which the books were proffered to be show❑ to the Commis sioners P—Yes ; in several instances the parties brought their books, but they were not compelled to do it. Did they bring their books ?—Yes. And were those books proposed by the parties as showing the correctness of their statement ?—Yes. Have you ever known a case in which a person who so proposed his books was nevertheless sur charged ?—Perhaps the charge was partly confirmed and partly relieved. I may mention that the in stances in which the books have been produced, even by the parties themselves, have been very few ; they have, in order to prove the accuracy of their accounts, brought their books. Mr. RICARDO—But you simply demand an account according to that form, and you ask for no vouchers whatever ?—The Commissioners ask them for a state ment of their accounts, and when they produce those accounts they are asked if they are prepared to swear to them. If they say " Yes," and if they are people of honesty and character, the Commissioners take them. Putting out of the question that proposition which you make to them, whether they are prepared to swear to their accounts or not, you have no means whatever of verifying these accounts ?—Not unless the oath is absolutely administered, certainly. Even if the party were sworn to the account, it would still remain the same ; you would only have an affidavit to it. The General Commissioners never swear the parties to the accounts ; they never have done so. A man may produce any sort of account that he likes, not in conformity with his books at all, and you have no means of proving it by evidence ?—The pre cept sent to the party does not state that his accounts are not to be in accordance with the books; he is to deliver a true account, a debtor and creditor account. But you have no Power to examine his books , e have no power to ask for the books. Mr. DISR4ELI—In the instances in which the books were brought by those persons, did they bring the books voluntarily, or from what you call a mistaken notion ?—Voluntarily. Mr. J. WILSON—Is there a difference, then, be tween the General Commissioners and the common Commissioners in their power to call for books ; does the Act of Parliament furnish the General Commis sioners with greater power, namely, with power.to call for books, when it does not furnish the Special Commissioners with that power ?—The Special Com missioners have all the powers of the General Com missioners, but the General Commissioners do not act as the Special Commissioners do. Then are we to understand that none of the Com missioners, by the Act of Parliament, have the power to call for books ?—They have not th© power to call for books. CHAIRMAN — Have not the Special Commissioners all the powers which the additional and General Com missioners have with respect to the books ?—Yes, but there is this differenee between the action of the two bodies, the Special Commissioners invariable issue a precept, and require accounts, but the General Com missioners do not ; they have refused from the first to sign any precept, the clerk merely sends a letter in forming the party whe n the appeal will be heard, re quiring him to bring an account, and to bring it in the best way he can. Mr. J. Wthsori—Can you tell the Committee upon what description of evidence the General Commis sioners act ; when an appeal is made against a sur charge, what s ort of evidence they require to sustain it ?—The General Commissioners, upon receiving no tice, as I explained on Thursday last, divide them into perhaps 25 or 30 for each day ; and the clerk, a [PRICE SD. few days before they meet to hear the appeals, sends a printed letter, with a note at the bottom, that the par ties will be required to attend on a certain day, in cases of professions, to give an account of the preced ing year ; in cases of trade, an average of the last three years. Sometimes they come prepared with regular accounts ; sometimes they are very bad. The Commissioners examine them at the time, and get the best statement they can, and act accordingly. Some times they adjourn the case two or three times for further statements. If an account were artistically made out by an ac countant, so as to appear to includ e all the elements of a general account, it would be taken as a satisfac tory account, without any means of discovering the accuracy of the figures which composed the account? —Upon the account furnished by the appellant, there is no other means of judging than his veracity. Lard H. VANE—That is, they have the power of putting him upon oath ?—They have the pow er of asking for further accounts, if they please. In some cases they do, but in the majority of cases the accounts are satisfactory. Mr. RICARDO—You say that you have had a great deal of experience in these matters. Do you consider that generally the returns are fairly made in the city of London ?—I consider that with regard to the merchants and bankers the returns are made rather in excess than below the amount; but with regard to the small traders, in many cases, particularly in the exemptions. the Government lose a considerable sum, no doubt. I have known, as regards merchants, that in some cases where they have preferred an appeal, perhaps a mistake has been made by the clerk in entering the assessment. It has been found, for instance, that two or three merchants together have returned 10,0001., and they have shown on appeal that they ought only to have returned 6,0001. or 7,0001., but they have made it 10,0001. in round numbers. The amount is so small that they do not think anything of it. Generally speaking, I have found where those returns have been made that the returns of the merchan is have been in excess of their liability. _ WA the small traders generally you consider it to be other wise ?—Yes ; where their average profits would be perhaps 1601., or perhaps less, the first ef fort is to reduce them below the 1501., to obtain the exemption. How is it with the professional men in the city of London ?—We have not a great many professional men in the city of London. Their returns, gene rally speaking, are very fair. I❑ the inns of court I found them very fair. The benchers were acting as Commissioners there, and they knew pretty well what the parties ought to retnrn. It is difficult, I suppose, for a professional man to give a false return ?—He gives his return upon the income of the preceding year, and he can pretty well calculate his profits. Mr. ROEBUCK—Do the benchers act as Commis sioners ?—Io the inns of court, but I have nothing to do with the inns of court now. Generally do not the members of the inns of court also return to Somerset House ?—The benchers of the inns of court invariably choose two or three from their own body to act as additional Commissioners. The remaining number act as General Commissioners in hearing appeals. I am not speaking of hearing appeals, but of the original return. Tnat is not made to the benchers, but to Somerset House ?—The Somerset House Board is the controlling Board, the Board of Inland Revenue. There is a mere ordinary person who sends round the assessment papers ?—That is the assessor. Is the return made to the benchers ?—The benchers have their clerk the same as any other Com missioners. Is it so that the return is made to to the benchers ? —They always have the returns before them. Is the return made to the benchers ?—The re turn is made to the assessor appointed by the benchers. And is there no means of returning direct to Somerset House ?—No, there are Special Commis• sinners in each district. The Commissioners of So merset House are Special Commissioners, by virtue of their office. There are three special commissioners, who are now sitting at Somerset House, who have their offices there, but they also have their offices at Broad-street, and you may send your return to the Special Commissioners instead of to the District Commissioners, if you think St. Mr. RICARDO—There is no accountant attached to the Commissioners P—No. You have no funds tor employing an accountant, have you ?—No ; besides which no person could he present at the time of heariug the appeal, unless he was a sworn officer. CHAIRMAN—What employment would you have for an accountant ?—I do not know, except in some very particular accounts, that an accountant would be of any service at all. The Commissioners them selves, as merchants, are quite as conversant with ac counts as any accountant would be, most of them doing business in a very large way, having their books kept by a regular accountant. You understand accounts ?—Yes. Colonel ROMILLY—You have said that the tendency of merchants in the city of London, you think, is to return rather more than they ought P—l think they are ge►ierally in excess. Do you think that that proceeds from a desire to avoid the trouble arising from surcharging?—No, I think not. I think it is more a matter of generosity than anything else. If the amount is between 8,000/. and 9,0001., they make their return an even 10,000/. ; so wi.h regard to 11,0001. or 12,000/., they make it 15,000/. ; and where they have suffered losses they would rather a great deal retur❑ something than be called upon for an explanation. Mr. J. WILSON—Did I understand you rightly to say that the professional incomes were more easily arrived at than the trading incomes ?—Yes, inas much as you take the preceding year only, whereas in trade you take three years. It is less trouble. You have no better test of the accuracy of pro fessional incomes for the one year than you have of the average income for the three years ?—I do not know that. The party must find it less trouble, having only to take the preceding year, than he would to go into three years. That would only be a question of trouble to the person who made the return ?—Just so. But it would not afford you any additional test as to the accuracy of the return ?—Not at all. There is no reason why you should place more faith in the returns of medical and legal practitioners than in the returns of merchants and manufacturers ? —Not at all. It is a simple question with profes sional men as to their gross receipts and their dis bursements. With attorneys it is sometimes a ques tion as to whether they have given us the whole of their business, or merely the amount received. They may have many years' bills outstanding; hut they should give us an estimate of wh a t those bills will produce. There is quite as much opportunity for fraud in the one case as in the other ?—No doubt about it. CHAIRMAN—In the returns from bankers and insurance companies, do they state any details of the profits, either from discounts or from investments, or do they give a general sum of profits under one heap ?—We have had very few instances of testing the returns of bankers ; the returns made to the General Commissioners have been generally satisfac tory to them ; but in ono or two instances they have returned their investments separately from their discounts. Generally, it is the gross amount of profits ? Generally, it is a sum from the trade of banker, so much money ; as regards the insurance companies, I ought to state to the Committee that there is great uncertainty with respect to the assessment, or their liability to assessment under the Act ; in some cases they claim to be entirely free, whilst in other cases they make a large return. Some few merely give us a list of the annuities c hargeable upon their offices ; I think that is a matter which deserves the special consideration of the Committee. What is the nature of the uncertainty ; is it a point of law ?—An insurance company, about four months ago, made a return which I had to examine; they "nil" in the return ; there was a state m e nt of stated figures, and upon going into the account, I submitted to the Commissioners that I estimated them at between 25,0001. and 30,000/. ; the additional Commissioners refused to make the assessment; I demanded a case for the opinion of the General Commissioners under the Act ; they had a meeting, and by a majority of one only, admitted my objection, and gave directions to the additional Commissioners to assess them at 25,000/. odd ; after that the company bad the oppor tunity of appealing ; they came to appeal, and are additional Commissioners stultified themselves so far as to reduce that assessment which they had before put at 25,0001. to about 13,000/. Now the same thing has happened with many others. Was that 13,0001. the amount which was paid upon ?—The 13,0001. they paid upon. Oa what point of law did the question turn '— There is no difficulty at all in ascertaining the profits of an insurance company as regards the fire depart meat ; the ground of liability to charge there would be the excess of premiums beyond their liability, which is easily ascertained as soon as the year has ex pired. With regard to the life department, they ge nerally set off against the profits of the fire depart- yr > - 61 , went, the sum paid upon their investments in the funds or on mortgage, and which is generally speak- • 7 ing a much larger sum than the profits of the fire de- _ partment would come to. Now that ought not to be SiSIAM allowed, because the investments in the funds, or upon mortgage, are investments upon a number of yeti's spreading over a long period, perhaps 150 years : so that in fact they are taking from that which is a capital and deducting from their annual refits. (To be continued.) " THE GREEK SLAVE," THE " VEILED VESTAL," AND THE " AMAZON." It is a hopeful sign of intellectual advancement, that the sculpture has occupied so large a share of attention. The specimens that have acquired the most notoriety are not, perhaps, the most deserving of it ; hut the fact that all classes of visitors examine the sculpture with interest, is a gratifying evidence of improved taste. Everybody makes it a point to look at the " Amazon," the " Greek Slave," and the " Veiled Vestal." There is great merit in each of them, but it is associated with faults which hasty admiration has entirely overlooked. The power of the Amazon, the strength of expression, the agony of the horse —a grand and terrible mixture of dismay and desperation —ar e triumphant proofs of the artist's genius ; and it i s t h erefore all the more to b e regretted that so noble a work should be marred by one or two very obvious blemishes. Observe the attitude of the Amazon. She has lost her seat, and is thrown back in an impossible position on the haunches of the horse. Turn to the back of the statue, and look at the horse's tail. It is cast up lashing the air, as if the creature were in a state of high exultation, instead of being drawn in between its legs by the effort of terror, which would inevitably make it coil up all its muscles. These faults are deductions from the merits of the work as a per fect study; but enough remains behind to justify the highest encotniutna. We are much perplexed by the statue of the Greek Slave. In what respect is it Greek ? And is a the tvnivvngiare: _ manacle upon a delicate wrist tine only weans sculpture possesses of expressing the sorrow and anguish of slavery ? The fact is, there is no meaning whatever in the face, which has any thing in the world but Greek or slavery written on it; and if the head and manacles were lopped off; the rest of the figure wouldbe very beautiful as a study of form. it is full of grace from the shoulders down, espe cially at the side and back ; but the artist has utterly failed in the attempt to convey any thing more. Of the "Veiled Vestal," we sup pose it must be allowed to be a curious and successful example of skilful manipulation. The veil is cleverly executed, and looks quite gauzy and transparent at a proper distance; but it bears about the same relati on to high artas Paganini's performance on a single string; it merely shows a difficulty overcome without any re sult. The vulgar may wonder at it, but the educated grieve. At the best, it is no more than what is popu larly, but not very correctly, called a trick, which is a sort of ingenuity that exhausts your admiration the mo ment you detect it. There is not much risk of judgment in according to the Virginias of M`Dowell the first place in the Exhibition. That magnificent work is weliknown and fortunately occupies so prominent a position in the transept that it cannot escape the attention it de serves. Awarding to Kiss, and Power, and Monti, and the rest of the foreign and native contributors the full measure of their deserts (and although there are not many striking specimens in the Exhibition, there are a few of great merit), we believe that the artists themselves would agree with us in the high estimate we place upon the passionate energy and soft beauty which are so wondrously blended in this elaborate work, and which carry the resources of art to the height of their illustrative power.—Fraser's Ma. gazine. 50 0 0 40 0 0 INSURANCE COMPANIES.

Sunday having been the birthdayofirlamsetjes Jeejeebhoy, a splendid entertainment was given by this distinguished gentleman at his garden in Maza gon, Bombay, to about three hundred of the rich and influential members of his caste. On the morning of the same day, from seven to twelve, A.m., many thousands of rupees were distributed among the Parsee priests and the poor of all castes and creed. The worthy knight's garden at Ma zagon displayed a splendid spectacle from seven to eleven P.M. Lanterns were placed in good order along the roads for the convenience of parties pro ceeding to the entertainment, and this alone repre sented to individuals at a distance something like a grand procession of marriage or some festival. The attendance commenced at seven P.m.., and the par ties invited were received with all due honour by the sons of Sir Jamsetjee, who were seated at the front door. In the space of about one hour nearly 300 persons assembled in the ball. They were there amused by some of the best country musicians and songsters. At half-past seven, when the attendance was more than half full, Sir Jamsetjee Jeejeebhoy made his appearance in the assembly, and, having in terchanged salaams with all the guests present, took his seat. He was there supported on his right by Bomonjee Hormwjee, Esq., and on the left by Manockjee Noserwanjee Petty, Esq. Music and songs were going on, when, at about a little after eight, intimation being received that the supper was ready, each and every one left the great hill, and went to the table. On a fine spacious verandah, especially built for the pur pose, two large tables, at which more than 300 persons can be accommodated, were plentifully served with the richest dishes and fruits, and all sorts of wines were to be had. The first glass of wine, as usual among the Parsees, was drunk by all, with a prayer that the Almighty might give good sense to every one. After a short interval, wine was drunk with great eclat in honour of the auspicious day, and the health of Sir Jainsetjee Jeejeebhoy and family. The third time wine was drunk in honour of the Wadies' family. Then the health of the whole assembly was drunk, and lastly the health of our Chief and Gracious So vereign Queen Victoria was proposed, which was drunk by all with a prayer that her reign might con tinue prosperous over these lands. After that, each had the pleasure of drinking a wine-glassful now and then in proportion to their respective tastes for the same. About half-past ten the party rose from table, and rose-water, flowers, and pan-soopary were distri buted. Several of the guests took leave of their host at the same time, and retired to their respective homes, while others went again into the great hall where they were first seated. Musicians and songsters were there ready to amuse the remnant of assembly. At a little before eleven o'clock, the assembly, after taking leave of each other, dispersed and went to their homes. Bombay Times, July 1. LYNCH LA (V on a WOMAN in CALIFORNIA! A short time back a party of drunken brutes for: • t the door of a private house, occupied by a Mexican woman, whom they insulted in the grossest manner. Of this she took no notice, but one of the party returning soon afterwards for the vilest of purposes, and insulting the woman with the grossest of epithets, her southern blood boiled over with indignation, and, in • moment of passion, she snatched a knifr, and inflicted upeu him a mortal wound. For this she was taken to the cross-roads and hanged. The San Francisco Picayune thus comments upon this deliberate murder:—" Now, we venture to say that had this woman been en American instead of a Mexican—had she boasted el white blood, as they call it—as though the caste of the woman, if it affected her case at all, should noehave tended to make her executioners more lenient—bad she been of the Anglo-Saxon race, instead of being hung for the deed, she would have been lauded for it; and _in stead of an account appearing in the papeys of t • • horrible murder by a M ex ican woman , l e er/ ' press in the state would have rung with a ce " 31 . a 4 " tiona for the ' heroic c o nduct of a female, or t determined defence of h e r virtue by a ladythen in mines.' It was not Mexican blood. Hut con demned this un fortunate woman, but her caste andher guilt whic h one circumstance was wanting to make the murder qf in a this woman u n p ara ll e led in atrocity. She was con dition that would have made her lif e sacred, even in th e most barbarous ages, and under the bloodiest code t hat ever cursed the world.
