The orchestra, under,ths management of Costa, rendered the musk with that perfection which is their characteristic, and Costa did not, as he s ome ti mes dops, take the time too fast, His reading of the music was evidently the result of careful and attentive study, and it Was clear that he had saturated himself as it were with the ideas of the Maestro. As a whole, never has Roberto 11 Diavol• been so efficiently performed.

Dr. STEWART proposed, as an amendment, that the report be received, printed, and circulated among the guardians before being adopted, which was seconded by Mr. CRAIGMYLE, but found few supporters, on the' ground that the necessary expense and deliy would counterbalance the advantage attending its circulation. A subsequent motion of Mr. SUTHERLAND, that the report be left with the secretary at the asylum, open to inspection, was carried. Dr. CUMMING then proposed a vote of thanks to the committee for the care with which they had drawn up the report. Dr. STEWART, although he opposed the immediate adoption of the report, hoped he would not be denied the privilege of secon ding it. The motion was unanimously carried, and the court then broke up. of the people is a principle large enough to brave all efforts.

"The close of the general discussion was then pro nounced, and the House adjourned." The Patrie, the organ of General LASJLTTE, and the Cossack portion of the Cabinet, who are seeking to betray the PIMIDXIIT of the Republic, has the following : "Lard Normanby received, yesterday, from Lord Palmerston a dispatch, which he communicated to the Minister for Foreign Affairs. The dispatch of Lord Palmerston is, it is said, very long. It gives, in bis pain of view, all the history of the Greek affair. It is wrist.' in a very conciliatory tone, and terminates by the offer of a compromise. We do not know the nature or terms of the compromise proposed by Lord Palmerston, bur what we know is that they have not appeared satisfac tory, and that 'they have not been accepted by M.

The hero, repreented by Mr. Wright, is a malcontent in the coal and potatoe line, who, because he is a foundlirg and • imagines that he is of noble birth, dec inns to ohiige his friend, a stern plebeian chimney-swcep (Mr. Paul Bedford), by t a ki ng the itinerant pre of " Jack in the Green" on May -day, and even objects to the assumption of .that ladle -armed charac ter.termedthci " lady" by his sweetheart, the aw , -ep's daughter '(Miss E.

The debate on the electoral law was resumed on Wednesday, and in the course of it M. DE MONTA LEMBERT made a speech containing a direct declara tion of civil war, and also revealing the word of the enigma of , the Roman Expedition, showing that it was only the first act of the plot against liberty all over the world, into which, under Cossack auspices, the reactionaries of all countries have entered. M. DE ZeI?fiTALEMBERT declared distinctly that "it was ne cessary to organize a Roman Expedition against the Interior"—an expedition, however, in which it is clear that M. D B MONTALEMBERT will not personally take part, seeing that on the first outbreak of the revolution of February he manfully fled to Brussels, " when no man pur -1 sped him," and.retarned not to Paris until all danger was over. Li ,the course of his speech, he also,made a jesuitical attack upon General CavezoiNec, which elicited from that high-minded Republican a speech worthy of the senate of old Rome in the most vir tuous days of the Republic. We subjoin a sketch of the debate from the moment that M. DE 11/10NTALEM BEETS in the name of the reactionaries, declared civil war against a large portion of his fellow-citizens. He London Longman, Brown, Green, and Longmans, Nor, we will add, will any proposition that can be made appear satisfactnry, not to M.

Two THE WINDOW TAX THE GREATEST ABSORBENT OF LlGHT.—Since Government is so particular in charging for light, we wonder it has never thought of putting a tax upon spectacles, eve-glasses, and operst•glasses, which Ant all media for conveying light to the eye, just as much as a pane of glass. The same with the windows in a carriage, or an omnibus, or a bathing machine. Why should they not pay the window-tax to the same monstrous extent as the win dows in a house? These pare shameful inequalities, which betray a partiality which should exist in no tax, particu larly in one which should be framed with the strictest eye to accuracy, as the larger the frame, the larger the payment for it. It is strange that Government should institute itself the Great Purveyor of Light, in opposition to the Sun ; with this difference, however, that G overnmen t c h arges for eyet7 pane of light it lays on, and cuts it off pretty quickly if it is not paid up exactly to the quarter, and the sun gives its light for nothing. Of all monopolies, the monopoly of light is the most cruel, and is a measure only worthy of the dark ages. To carry out the cruelty consistently, every man who has two eyes should be taxed for light doubly, men with only one eye should be let off with one payment, and none should be exempt from the tax but blind persons.—Peach. DEATH OF ME. EDWARD W. LLOYD.-4t it our melancholy duty to announce the premature death of Ward Watson Lloyd, Esq., Clerk of the Crown and Prothonotary of the Chester and North Wales Circuit, in which office he succeeded his late father eight years ago. The death of Mr. Lloyd, which occurred on Friday last, after a very short ill ness, is deeply regretted, not only by the members of the legal profession, by whom he was deservedly esteemed for his urbanity and courtesy in the discharge of his public duties, but by the general community, whose interests and enjoyments he was always most ready to promote. His personal friends have to deplore the death of a kind-hearted. generous, and worthy man ; while to his bereaved widow and twelve children his loss is irreparable.—Chester Courant. MR. GLADSTONE'S VISIT TO ITALY.—Some Of our contemporaries have attributed a political mission to the Hon.

Hors the numerous skilful and in telligent assistants attend to such orders with which they may be ntrusted, and with an equal amount of respect and civility to all, however small the purchase may be—indeed an inspection of the beautiful fabrics exhibited in these Warerooms, is courted by the above firm, without necessarily expecting the purchase of any article, with regard to which the public have long since ascertained, that to be really cheap, it should be really good.

A young Hun garian nobleman (Honved), who had been refused permission by his captain to go to a coffee-house, unable to resist the solicitations of some corporal, who promised to be responsible for this petty insub ordination, quitted the barracks. The captain, upon hearing this, gave orders that the young nobleman should be flogged upon his return. All the corporals of the battalions refused to raise their hands to carry out the sentence s and a corporal of the Haynau Regiment of Infantry was summoned from another barrack, and commenced putting the' sentence into execution ;. but he had inflicted only a few blows when the young nobleman 'sank down in a fit of apoplexy. In one moment all the Honveds rushed upon the captain and put him to death. On the same evening the entire troop was disbanded. i ltia . . 05 1 , 15 11510110 AI :- 1484 44. Time Assured.

PARENTS and GUARDIANS are respectfully invited to inspect the cost of the several garments here submitted, and con sidered necessary for the Universities, Public and Private Schools, &c. In this branch clever and efficient persons are employed by Messrs. NICOLL, as in all other departments, the result being the production of a more graceful and elegant appearance in Youths' Clothing than has hitherto been approached ; while, at the same time, their durability and general excellence will be as strongly chlracterised as in NICOLL'S PALETOT. CAUTION.—Many have of late used the word " Paletot," but 11. J. and D. NICOLL are the sole Proprietors of both design and material. THE CITY.-22, CORNHILL, (opposite the Royal Exchange,) is the address of Messrs. NICOLL'S CITY ESTABLISHMENT, where the PALETOT with materials and skill as in Regent-street are submitted for inspection and use, and at the REAR in CHANGE-ALLEY is the SHIPPING BRANCH. The Countinhouse and Wholsesale Department for the sale of Woollen Goths, &e., and for the supply of Messrs. NICOLL'S AGENTS throughout the UNITED KINGDOM and the COLONIES is in WARWICK-STREET, No. 41, where applications should be made for the CONDITIONS with the PRIZE of 5001., to be GIVEN by Messrs. NICOLL for the BEST SPECIMEN of CLOTH shown at the GREAT EXHIBITION of the INDUSTRY of ALL NATIONS. Warwick-street is immediately at the rear of the Paletot Ware rooms, 114, 116, 118, and 120, Regent-street, London. miiE RACES.—KHOREE is a NEW IMPOR JL TATION by the Messrs. NICOLL, through their Agent in INDIA. It is a Cloth exceedingly well adapted, when formed into a PALETOT, for the races, the sea-side, or any place of public amusement during the approaching warm weather. It has the pecu liarity of resisting, or counteracting, in a most singular manner, the intense heat of the sun's rays, and is so light (weighing but six ounces) that it Call be conveniently WORN OVER ANOTHER COAT, which it thus effectually preserves from dust; and as it oc cupies, when folded, no more space than a pocket-handerchief, it may be concealed in the same manner when not wanted. It, more over, conveys a most gentlemanly appearance, is very durable, and when soiled, becomes new again by the simple process of washing. The price is riost moderate, but the invention and application of this article in the manufacture of Paletots or Overcoats is PATENTED by 11. J. and D.

What has I re moved those sightless beings, and given place to a straight rward, clear-sighted people (the climate is the same) ? I'll tell you the cause —the universal use of Grimstone's Eye Snuff 1 and because it cured Ophthalmia, Gutta Serena, Cataract, Nervous Ileadach, and Deaf ness, the Lords of the Treasury directed it to he denominated is medi cine, and to be stamped. Although this advanced its character, 67 cases of cure being proved by the informers, still it was an act of oppression; as in 1825 the Solicitor of Stamps, Godfrey Sykes, Esq., altered the label, and sanctioned its sale under order of the Lords of the Treasury; the letter of protectirn, signed by Herries, Esq., to Mr. William Grimstone, bearing dire 18th February, 1525. This was on account of its curative qualities, being sold at that time ih canis ters, within the reach of every poor family.

BRISTOL, MAY 23.—The supply of English wheat was good, but the inquiry for that and foreign was slow, at a de cline of is per quarter. English wheat sold at 38s to 42s per imperial quarter.

Barley held for some advance, but buyers would not comply. Oats fully asdear. Beans and Peas both Is per qr higher. This week the weather has become much warmer, which, added to the decline in Mark-lane, Liverpool, &c., has caused the transactions to be on the most limited scale, but we have not heard of any reduction being submitted to on any article of the trade. At this day's market there was a fair supply of Wheat from the farmers, which sold slowly at a reduction of Is to 2s per qr. Barley unaltered in value, with very little doing. More sale for Oats at former prices. No advance could be obtained on Beans and Peas.

DERBY SMITHFIELD MARKET, MAY 21.—There were but few fat beasts offered for sale this morning, and the demand was equally small. The supply of sheep and lambs was about the average, without any alteration in the price. The number of fat calves was not large, nor could it be expected when the demand was not likely to be great.

A special general court of the guardians and direc tors of this institution was held yesterday at the rooms of the Scottish Hospital, Crane-court, Fleet-street, for the purpose of receiving the report of the committee appointed at a previous meeting to consider the affairs of the Asylum. His Grace the Duke of Buccleuch took the chair. s tated that the number of boy s a t present on the The report, which was read by The Chisholm, es tablishment was 61, of girls 50—total, 111 children.

The committee first recom mended that no further sale of stock should take 5 u 3 a1 4 / . ae 2s. 7 eo . each h —thu s crea ti ng a year, w hi c h bad been place except what was necessary to meet existing liabilities. The expenses under the head ,i Estab lishment," consisting of the salaries of superintendent and secretary, matron, &c., amounted to 375/. ; the salaries of officers and domestic servants to 4881, which, with the expense of maintenance, &c., amounted to 7971. The committee recommended that the office of resident superintendent and secre tary should be immediately abolished, and that a non resident secretary be appointed, at a salary of about 105/. per annum. Other considerable reductions were recommended in the salaries of the officers of the institution, by which the committee expected to reduce the expenditure to 5 331 1 instead of 797/. per annum, as at present. The committee were of opinion that the maintenance, clothing, and incidental expenses for the children should be covered by 14/. or 15/. a head, which would enable the institution to support about 80 children from the funds that were directly available for the purpose. or —the terui en suing this would not appin as the committee did hut recommend that the children I t uthorieed to be elected in June next should be interfered with. It was pro posed that the offices of band muster and pipe master should cease after the midsummer term of 1851, until the asylum could afford to have them renewed. Other reductions were recommended, and particularly a more strict adherence to principles of.e conon ,_ y in all that regarded the contracts and general management of the asylum. The adoption of the report was moved by the Duke of MONTROSE, who complimented the committee on its efficiency, but regretted that.they had been obliged to show the affairs of the asylum to be in 59 miserable a condition. Lord KINNAIRD seconded the resolution, and ex pressed himself to a similar effect. • The motion was supported by Sir George Clerk, Sir John Maxwell, the Right Hon. Holt Madenzie, Dr. Cumming, and other gentlenien. " I say that it is necessary to undertake against Socialism,which is devouring us, a Roman expedition at home.—(Loud applause on the Right, and violent ex clamations on the Left). In the same manner that an expedition was undertaken to Rome against a republic with which it was wished to unite our responsibility, should an expedition be entered on at home against Socialism, in order to prove that it has nothing in com mon with the Republic.—(Hear, hear.) The position is so much the same, that a cry is now raised about a vio lation of the constitution, as it was at the period of the Roman expedition. The same accusations are brought forward which it was then wished to follow up by a commencement of execution; the same had been wished at the present time, but those who advocated it have shrunk from it. With regard to the expedition to Rome, there were three paths to be pursued—nentrality, complicity, or hostility. Neutrality would have been the abdication of the influence F, of France; complicity would have been disgraceful, for we should have assumed the joint responsibility of revolution which aas inaugu rated by assassination. " On the Left—You know very well that that is false. " On the Right—Yes, yes! assassination. ",M. de Montalembert—War was made by France against the Roman Republic. God blessed the under taking, and on several occasions 450 votes in this As sembly have sanctioned it. You are in precisely the same situation against Socialism at home. Neutrality is death. If you cross your arms you may as well make your will, but that will be of little use, for your heirs will tear it. Complicity is disgraceful, for Socialism dishonours the Republic. There only then remains for us war—war carried on energetically, and by every means. " M. Lagrange hero again rose, and endeavoured to spook, but - was pacified by M. de Lamartine. " M. do Montalembert—ln acting thus, we shall con tinue our campaign of the days of Juse, 1848, that campaign which was so well and so energetically con ducted by General Cavaignac. We have now the same enemies under the same flag. I regret to have heard General Cavaignac—l am anxious not to say anything unpleasant to the Hon. General, but ho must allow me to ask him—and history will one day put the same question to him—where are now those men whom he fought against, whom he chastised, whom he pulverised, whom he transported? Wtero are they? They ere at his side!" In conclusion he said— " We have in our favour right and strength, numbers and courage; but have we time? No; time is against us. We have ahe ady lived a year; in six months we shall have turned the hill and commenced our downward passage. But for an Assembly which has not, perhaps, done all that was expected from it, the period of its wane is a time of death-throes. Our dissolution will, in fact, be forestalled, and before we shall have finished our legal term we shall, like the Constituent Assembly, find ourselves squeezed flat between the parry which de sires the ruin of society and that other which will r. - preach us with not having been energetic enough in the fulfilment of our mandate. I repeat to you, then fore, that we have no time to lose. A final word relative to the men who have received the appellation of the seven teen! We have been told in a democratic journal—and without any contradiction or retractution being made to the declaration—that our heads—of us, the seventeen— are devoted to the infernal gods of the revolution! — (Sensation.) " On the Left—What does that prove? " M. de Montalembert—The history of the high deeds of your ancestors proves clearly enough what it means! Can we forget the scaffold of the revolution ? Are we pot acquainted with the democratic dagger which assas sinated Rossi? Well, then, the fate so threatened I ac cept ! Yes, I prefer it a thousand times to the contempt which, amongst posterity, will hang on the memory of those men whom France charged to place her in safety, but who failed in that sacred duty—those men who, through pusillanimity, will have left France abandoned to the shame, the servitude, the barbarism which social ism is preparing for us !—(Tremendous cheering, which lasted for some time.) " Gii eat agitation followed this speech. General Ca vaignac at once hurried to the tribune, but he was obliged to remain standing there for ten minutes, at least. before the sitting could proceed. " General Cavaignac—The Hon. M. de Montalembert commenced his speech by passing a eulogium on me; after having heard his speech, I am entitled to say that I was right in receiving that praise only with mistrust; I expected it to be followed by a censure. Once for all, what is the meaning of those reminiscences incessantly renewed in the tribune? Why am I constantly reminded of the duties which I one day had to fulfil? Is it wished ' to intimate that it was necessary to remind me that I had great duties to perform? That would bc an insult. —(Marks of denial.) It appears to me that that is very evident.—(Cries of ' No, no.') I repeat that I should con sider as an insult the expression of an idea which would tend to bring me here to say that I have had great duties to fulfil.—(Murmurs.) Is it sought to atop by fear in the accomplishment of those duties which I have now to perform?—(Allons donc.) I do not seek for oppor tunities of entering into discussions so personal and so animated, but I know not how to shrink from them. Is it that you pretend to stop me in the accomplishment of my duty by fear?—(Murmurs.) Those who think so deceive themselves. There is nothing in what I say, or what I think, which tends to make me obtain in the So cialist party, to which I do not belong, a false popu larity. It is not my fault if you have now placed right on the side of your adversaries. It has been said that I had changed my part and my opinion, but that is not the case; Ido now what I did in June, 1845. I then defended universal suffrage as I do at the present time; such has always been my course of acting. " M. Em. Arago declared that he was opposed to the Bill, and then, proceeding to criticise the speech of M. de Montalembert, he affirmed that that gentleman desired to bring on civil war.—(Loud exclamations, marks of denial.) " On the Right—lt is you, it is you. "From the Mountain—M. de Montalembert is nothing else than insurgent! • "On the Right—That charge comes from a strange quarter! "Other Voices on the Right—M. President, call the gentlemen in the tribune to order! "The President, to M. E. Arago—You have no right to use such language. " M. E. Arago—l am then prevented from expre ing my sentiments.—(Oh! oh I—laughter.) Has n, , t . de Montalembert said—' Lot us wage the war of Rome at home!' " On the Left—Yes! yes! " A Voice on the Right—That means that Soeiltlisre vents he Inv down by every legal means! "M. E.

DI: do Montalembert too, appears to me to have a strange mode of respecting the constitution, when he declares that he submits, to it, but that he considers it contemptiisle. The country cares but little about the pretend , d accord amongst citizens who are no longer in France.—(Laughter.) But M. de Montalembert has no right to cast an insult on a cer tain number of his colleseues, by declaring that they were anarchists under a former Government.—(Move newt.) There is now in France a now right; I obeyed it when I revolted against a Government of privilege.— (NO, PO) One word iu terminating. The lioveroignty RUSSIA. ST.

This machine was presented at the grand exhibition at St. Peters burgh. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. Don Giovanni, with its unusually strong cast, in cluding Sontag, Parodi, Giuliani, Coletti, Calzolari, and Lablache, drew au overflowing house here last evening, and never has the chef deuvre of Mozart been more conscientiously rendered. After the opera Madame Frezzolini appeared in the last scene of Lucrezia Borgia, and more then confirmed the fa vourable impression which she had created on Tues day. She is the most impassioned of lyrical tragedians, and there is a delicious freshness in the quality of her clear and flexible voice, which is perfectly fascinating. It was one of the long Thursdays, and the choerographic part of the entertainment was of the very highest order, utterly unapproached and unapproachable. In the Ball scene in Don Giovanni, Carlotti Grisi and Maria Taglioni danced the Minuet and the Zarabanda. After the opera we had Les Graces, with Carlotta Gri►►i, Marie Taglioni, and Amalia:Ferraris, and at the conclusion selections from La Esmeralda, including the Truandaise. The theatre was crowded to over flowing. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA. Roberto it Diavolo, which, with the full recollection of the Huguenots, and the Prophete, we still consider to be the chef crauvre of Meyerbeer, was produced here for the first time this season, last evening, with a completeness that has never been surpassed and has seldom been equalled. We have a per fect recollection of this opera when it was first produced at the Grand Opera in Paris, then in the zenith of its power and of its fame, and certainly the manner in which the opera was performed and put on the stage last evening far surpassed the man ner in which it was put on the stage in Paris on the occa sion of its original production. ghe following is the cast, and certainly as a whole the opera has never been, not even at this theatre, cast nearly so strongly. Alice, Mme. Grisi (her first appearance in that cha racter) ; Isabella, Mme. Castellan ; Dates d'Onore, Mdlle. Cotti; Elena, Mdlle. Louise Taglioni; Al berto, Signor Rommi ; Eraldo, M. Massol; II Piore, Signor lagliafico ; Majordomo,. Signor Soldi; Cava liers, Signor Mei a n d Si g nor Polonini ; Roberto, Signor Tamberlik (his first appearance in that character) ; Bertramo, Herr Formes ; and Rambaldo Signor Mario (his first appearance in that character). The character of Alice is one quite out of the usual line of Madame Grisi's performances ; it is almost impossible to imagine the imperious Semiratnide, the impassioned Norma, the energetic L ucrez i a, exhi biting the innocent simplicity of th e angelic peasant girl, yet Madame Grid achieved a great success in the part, and sang the music divinely. Her man ner of rendering the Va dit elk" and the " Quandje u ittai 1a Normandie" was excellent, but the grand soibne was the finale, in which she rescues Robert from Bertram. ' Here she had an oppoiAmity for the exhibition of that impassioned energy in the delinea tion of which she so much excels, and of this opportu nity she (lid not fail to avail herself. Tad!) concluding trio of the opera has never been so eublimely—that is the true word—has never been so sublimely rendered as it•was last nieht by Madame Grisi, Signor Tamberlik, and Here Formes. It was the very -perfection of impasioned lyrical tragedy. Signor Taniberlik is by far the best Robert whom it It s ever been our, good fo,rttine tq see, as superior to his . predecessor Salvi as,it is,well possible to imagine; tremilloui quality :of 'his oice told most effec tively in the , more iathetio scenes, and his manly end clivalrous acting made him. look the Nerman hero to the life. Never haVe we beard the far-famed " L'or est nue cliimere," reudereno ever th immense sr irr• getically, or sung r wiand the last scene of the opera was, a.s we before said, a perfect triutoph. The great feature of the perfor mance, however, is the Bertram of Formes. We bad thought it impossible to equal Staudigl in this part, but Formes is certainly his eq ual, perhaps in some things his superior. He throws more feeling into the part then dhi Staudigl, he not only tem pers, but subdues the malignity of , the fiend with the aff ction of the father ; and, even when he triumphs i n the app, rent ;yielding of Robert to hit influence, 'his expression or triumph is rather an out burst of boisterous merriment, evidently feigned to hide the deep despair the expression of which is ever on his features, than : a sudden outbreak of triumphant yet joyous malignity. The Isa bella of Madame Castellan is beautiful ex ceedingly, and is a marked improvement upon her f ormer - impersonations of this character. The ex- ATtk, lim its of genius might b e passe d over if t h e rid woukt promise not to them. Eliza Cook's Journal. VESTA/.

Russ, with Commander Phillips, arrived in Loch Ryan in his vessel the Felix, called after the late Sir Felix Routh, from Ayr, to take leave of his friends, and dispatch other business, before sailing for the Arctic regions. His vessel is to be registered out of this port (his native place), and the papers are expected from London by this night's post. As the Felix will only register 91 tons, he requires a special licence from the Board of Cus bills, under the late regulations, as to the distance which vessels under 170 tons are allowed to go from the land. The same regulations limit the number of the crew to seven, in cluding the master, whereas Sir J. Ross's vessel carries a crew of 13 mea, exclusive of officers; he will also require a special licence for this purpose. These have been applied for, and are expected to arrive from London this evening. He is to have any quantity of stores he requires duty tree. The Felix is a very clumsy-I,,oking v esse l ; she sits a good deal by the head, and his very low ; she will probably not leave Loch Ryan until the end of the week, if even then. Sir John is an extraordinary man to undertake such an expe dition; he is is his 76th year, is quite deaf, and nearly bli 'd, but chacun ei son gout. We wish him every success, and a safe return. Should time permit, the inhabitants of Stranraer intend to give him a public dinner. — Shipping Gazette. THE Co,ES BLACKHOCIL AND PASSAGE RAILWAY.

CAUTION TO FARMERS HAYING DISEASED SHEEP. —At the Tavistock Guildhall, last week, Walter Arthur ap peared to a summons issued at the instance of Joseph Long, before John Rundle, ttaq., magistrate. Mr. Chilcott, soli citor, said that this was an information laid at the instance of the c( iimittee appointed for the purpose of devising means to prevent the spread of scab or'mange in sheep, ag inst the defendant, who is a farme residing in the parish of Mari tavy, for having kept several sheep infected with that dis ease, on a common in the parish of Petertavy; and be further stated that the object of this proceeding was not to punish the defendant by Tossing for a heavy penalty, but simply to give publicity to the Act of Parliament (fie Geo. 111 , c. 5) under which this information was laid, and thereby prevent, if possible, a repetition of the ofience. Mr. Chilcott asserted that it was the wish of his clients that the smallest penalty allowed by th , Act should be imposed. Defe dant then pleaded guilty to the information. and was convicted in the mitigated penalty of 20s. (the lowest allowedby th e statute) . d. It m a y and 19s.

NATIVE INDIANS' DWELLINGS. IN, CALIFORNIA.— There the Indian savages dwell in habitations of a most pe cioiar construction. They ate large and roomy; the side walls are low, and torined of Mcts, connveted by a thatch, and plastered with clay, which hardens in the sun, and forms a sold defence against the westh,,r. The roof is broad, high, and sloping, formed by a thick, warm, mat heavy thatch, with cross-beams of rough wood and, rafters laid len g th w i se to as sist in the support. These meet in the central lini',*li4re a strong timber runs the whole length of 'the building,, upheld by rough trintlifs of trees, with forked branches left to aid in bearing up the ponderous roof. The floor is the earth, beaten had, with piles o fdried grass to serve as COUChpS. Among some of the wilder tribes, mere huts built of 'branches,' and thatched with leaves and ropes of grass, constitute the dwel lings of the people. As we approach the borders of the United States, beyond the snowy mountains, the well-known Indian wigwam takes the place of the more curious construc tion, and with these the public has now been made too familiar to render it necessary we should sketch "Wen, 4 TIONAL LOAN FUND LIFE ASSU RANCE SOCIETY. 26, Cornhlll, London.
