ARRIVALS AT TIM ZOOLOGICAL GARD - ENS: There have been very few of late. A remark able new monkey from China, closely akin to the luaus rhesus of Bengal, but tail-less—if naturally so, which we are not quite satisfied about, especially as the Chinamen have a custom of mutilating the tails of monkeys ; but the Barbary magot (I. syl yawls) is again very nearly allied, and in this species the caudal appendage is reduced to a mere rudiment, while other kindred species are interme diate in this respect. A young tiger ;has been pre sented, and another commo n Indian antelope (Cer vicapra bezoartica). The female of the fine red kangaroo (Macropus ruins) has produced one off spring. In the bird class we haV , e outy to atitiOtinee the arrival of a pair oc the South American hawk parrot (Deroptylus accipitrinus); and of reptiles only a couple of royal pyt'no ns (P ython regius). This African serpent is known to the dealeft at the " ball-snake," froth its remarkable habit of twisting itself into a compact ball when handled, to an extent that we have witnessed in no other snake; The larger species or deef thoiV to much advan tage in their new abode, and we particularly call attention to the Kashmir stag just now, with his fine orange-coloured ruff, thr_iligh giiist be seen dry to be epptedated, and we have not had over- MUoll of dry weather lately. The Burmese t'lllimine stag (Panolia eldi), which is in the smaller deer house, near the superintendent's offic e) h as touitti his horns much better than thete Was fdaSon to ex pect some tittle ago, awl next year he will probably bear a fine pair. Hinds would be particularly ac ceptable of both these species. We are pleased to observe that the ant-eaters ( 111- yrniecophaga jubata) continue to thrive, although the first-received of the two has had, from the time of its arrival, an unfor tunate protrusion which may affect its well-doing on the return of summer. Prom recollection of the pangolins (Manes), or " scaly ant-eaters," we have an impression that the latter double up the huge claws their fore-feet more completely or closely clan is seen in the great ant-eater, but they have not the same power of striking with the anterior limb. We should be glad to see living specimens of aie pangolins in the collection, for the animal is not at all understood from the usual wretched repre sentations of it, which give it the appearance of a lizard rather thaw of a mammal. t several pangolins from In India we have kept ing this animal stands time to time. When vvai l Y high on its pillar-like legs, with the back much arched, and it rests on the lnuckles of #s fore id-joi limbs, or rather on the mint of the T4irgef digits, • . the huge claws of which are bent upward, as above stated, The neck is often raised at a considerable angle with the arch of • the back. It walks about tolerably fast on a level surface, and not unfre quently raises itself on the tripod of its hind limbs and tail, swerving the body about in every possible direction. In common garden ground it burrows with extreme facility; and it also manifests a very strong propensity for clambering. Turned loose into a room in India, a pangolin is never long in finding out the ji/n/i/s (a sort of curse Venetian blind), and soon makes its way to the top of them ; indeed, if a young animal, small enough, it will work itself in and out of the ,ii/a/i/s, to the destruc tion of them sometimes ; and we have seen one sup port weighty the its whole byre for ext a while,rermtyof inthetetan il, alone, and after hanging the tionally fall to the ground. e of this g animal is prodigious ; and itscapability abstinence most extraordinary. The latter is one of the various reptilian tendencies of the Edentata. In the wild state it inhabits rocky jungle, and works itself into the crevices of rocks during the day. It has no means of defence beyond rolling itself into a ball; and in this compact attitude it dies, as we have more than once had occasion t o observe. By miscalled Anglo-Indians the pangolin is commonly is " armadillo." The name " pangolin" is m isayllsend _pangoling or tangeling ; but there are three well marked Asiatic species, and more in Africa. In the fossil state this edente genus is-also known as Eu ropean. In all the jungle districts of India south of the Himalaya, and in Ceylon, the only speciei is Monis pentadactyla of Linnaeus (M. brachyura, Erxeleben 111. inauvita, Hodgson) ; at least we presume this to be the species noticed in Dr. J. L. Stewart's " M e _ moranda on the Peshawur Valley," as the " kishaur," which is " by no means uncommon in various locali ties, attaining a length of four feet and upwards ; its scales are much valued as a medicine by some classes of Hindus." In the south-east Himalaya the Chinese species occurs (the 111. aurita of Hodgson, subsequently ..3/. Dalmanni of Sundevall), which has the body-scales much smaller and more numerous, and a distinct ear-conch, which the other has not. Eastward of the Bay of Bengal, from at least the province of Arakan southward, the species is that of the Malayan peninsula and archipelago, M. jaranica, which is considerably smaller than the others, and has some bristles growing conspicuously between the scales ; very generally, also, the ter minal third or more of the tail is whitish, abruptly separated from the brown colouring of the body and base of the tail ; at least in Burmese examples, of which we have seen several, both alive and dead. We procured one thus coloured at Mergui, near the neck of the Malayan peninsula. A French author, Dr. Yvan, remarks that " the Chinese bring up this creature purposely for the table ; and the Portuguese of Macao, amongst whom it is known by the name of the Bicho vergo guoso, are extremely fond of its flesh, which is very white and tender. But it is quite a mystery to me," he adds, " how the animal is ever domesticated. 1 once preserved one, intending to take it back with me to France ; and having occasion to be absen from Macao a friend offered to take care of it for me. On account of its nocturnal habits, the Chi nese domestics placed it in a little dark habitation, where it appeared to be very comfortable. On the first night of its imprisonment, a strange noise was heard in the house, but next day nothing unusual could be perceived. For several succeeding nights the same strange sound was heard—a sort of me tallic noise, mingling with loud reports, as if some heavy weight was falling. At last, but when too late, the mystery was discovered. It was the pan golin,, which had pulled np cnrno of tina paving of its cave, raised the stone step, and thus made its escape, no one knew where. When caught, this animal makes but faint efforts to get away, but, as its hard, sharp scales act upon the fingers like the blade of a knife, the captor is generally glad to let his prey escape." It rolls itself up into a round ball, and the scales are sharp as described ; but the alleged domestication of it is nonsense, and it does not readily take to feeding when iu confinement, but it can well support abstinence for a fortnight or more. We have got it to eat a mixture of chopped meat and hard-boiled egg, with boiled rice.—Land and Water.

A writer in Land and Water says, after a few days' shooting at Fonab, our friend left us for Afteh where he was to spend the night, and to re turn next day to Alexandria by rail. We were anxious, of course, to be off at once as the wind was favourable, but were told by the reis that he cculd not leave on account of an approaching squall which he expected. After some difficulty, however, we insisted on his being off, and had a very jolly evening's sail, during which we must have made 14 or 15 miles. When we turned in for the night we were going well, but alas ! in the morning on getting up we found ourselves moored on the lee shore, in a place which seemed, as long as the wind lasted, a very awkward one to get away from. Naturally we pitched into the reis, and towards the middle of the day once more persuaded him to start, but really a more chicken-hearted beggar than friend Reis Ilassan I never came across ; he seemed posi tively afraid of a capful of wind. That night we were brought up by head winds, which seemed destined to last for, some time. A considerable storm got up, accompanied by lightning and heavy rain, and then we began to find out that a sail from Alexandria to Cairo is not the pleasantest thing in the world, and that, notwithstanding Mr. W.'s assurances and the terms of our contract with him, the dahabeeh was scarcely "in good condition and well fitted tip for a voyage to Upper Egypt," for on that night and the three sticdeeding days (during which we only made a very few miles, owing to the wind still remaining contrary) we discovered that the rain came into our cabins in various places, that two cabin WiticitiVa Airdte ctafiked, thnt the small sail aft was in shreds, that there was only one towing rqd and that was not impossible to break, that the awn ings were rotten or a very good imitation of it, that ofie of the hittli6 Niotild not hold water, and that the filterer was insufficient for our purpose, &c. Ail which discoveries; when combined with the annoy aniie ht Atioiig head winds and dii ObStinate; disg obliging reis, are tolerably provoking. However, few things are so bad that they might not be worse, and it is lucky for us that we sailed for Alexandria, and so found out what things requited to be real fled before reaching Cairo, where we refit ; had we left Cairo in this condition we should have had to grin and bear it until our return. We were, no doubt; in rather too great a hurry to leave Alexan dria, and perhaps took Mr. l'Wt.'s word about too many things. We should 14now better on another occasion—verblon sap. On Sunday, December 15, while taking a stroll, we saw for the first time that wonderful friend of the travelling showman, " the pelican osc. ; of the but, wilder ness,"nf besides several cranes , herons, afternoon a whole village turn f course, on this day their lives d w ou er t e in sa a fe g . rea l t n st t a h te e ran down to our boat and asked of excitement, and some of the inhab i l f ta . n t t b s e t l h o e n r g e e o d wandering Greek thief had soul© to the governor. On in . quiry we attempted foundth t a o t s t ea l some horses f ro , ier af e t a er r - - after wards meeting a woman, m the had v l i y ll r a e g n e n , rings out wrenched likely to do the Grecian • a nd then struck her. We suggeste d a good ducking as bein g d for a long time an animated good, and watched sq uabble, during which his g un was taken from him , I am told, when and fired off in the air. I d ar esay it all ended in smoke, although the Arabs are, excited very determine d ; one very admirable point in their character bei n g that they are incapable of bearing malice. That this is the case is an acknow ledged fact. Achmet Alli told us that lots of these Greek and Maltese pilferers are constantly going about among the villages in Lower Egypt. On Monday, the first day that we actually made no progress, we had a forenoon's walk with our guns over a most unpromising country for sport. We saw, however, in the middle of a field of young wheat a couple of otters, at one of which I had a long shot. We marked them to ground in an old water-wheel, and then, how I longed for a couple of good terriers and a pack of hounds ! Had we hail them we might have had a famous day's sport, as we were some way from the bill, and there was an old watercourse quite handy which would have been a first-rate place for a bunt. I have no doubt there are lots of otters about, as I know there are foxes, having on two occasions while snipe shoot ing halloed away a right good one, and all about the marshes I saw dear old revnard's marks very plainly. lie has a jolly time of it here, I have no doubt, and lives on the fat of the land. I thought it a curious thing to see two otters in such open ground in the middle of the day, especially as from their size (I should guess them at not less than 201 b. each) they seemed both of the male persuasion. The following evening we reached a town called K. Zaiad, where is the railway bridge across the Nile. The Arabs speak of this bridge as " t locks," from part of it being opened every day on one or two occasions to allow the river traffic to pass through. We were informed (with what truth I cannot say) that no boats had been allows 4 to go through for four days previously. However, the following morning part of the bridge was wheeled round on a pivot, and there ensued such a scene of bustle and confusion among - the accumulated ship ping as to be quite beyond description. The Arabs seem to be able to undertake no work, however slight it may be, without a sort of monotonous drone, in which they invoke the assistance of vari ous personages who have at one time or another existed. Noah and his family seem among sailors to be the most valued assistants, because, as Achmet in his broken English informed us, "he the maker of the first dahabeeh." This mono tonous chant, issuing from some five hundred throats at the same time, but from throats quite in dependent of each other, interspersed with extraor dinary grunts, expressive either of satisfaction or the reverse, and the most contradictory directions given by the reis on the different boats, caused a perfect Babel, but, at the same time, the scene was a most interesting one. The bridge was only kept open for about an hour, during which time, I should suppose, about 60 boats passed through, numbers being disappointed, and having to fall back to wait the next opportusity. We were told that it might be some days till this occurred, as, forsooth, the Viceroy was expected to return shortly from Alexandria to Cairo. This bridge is a very fine one, and quite worth seeing, the Nile at this point being about 400 or 500 yards broad. About two miles from this town there is, I was told, some ex cellent snipe shooting in rice ground, but A and I did not stop to try it, the wind having at length become favourable. That afternoon, in taking a short passage of the river, we came to very shoal water, and, had it not been for the assistance ren dered us by the crew of the Russian Consul's dahabeeh, who returned voluntarily to our assist ance, we should probably have stuck fast there for hours, and in the end would have had to sail back some miles, and so regain the main channel of the river. When one of those boats goes aground some of the sailors at once strip to a state of nudity, and by dint of main force she is once more got afloat. On occasions such as these, Noah and his family are freely called upon to as sist. In the evenings, while sailing, our crew in dulge in a most monotonous chant, in which sometimes they all take part, but which more frequently is sung, or rather ;said, by one of the party, the rest joining in the chorus. They accom pany themselves on a broken-down tambourine. For some time we were puzzled by a general cry of " Oh !" at the conclusion of each verse, but we soon found out that this was a sign of satisfaction, or as Achmet has it, when " they find the song sweet and pretty." Their ideas of sweet music must indeed be peculiar ! But they are not bad fellows these sailors, and only want a good reis (which ours certainly is not) to do their work well. They are fond of a word or look of recognition occasionally, and one of them is able to say " Good morning," which expression is by no means by him confined to the first part of the day. On Friday, December 20 (disgusted by head winds and slow progress, we had by this time en gaged a steamer to tow us), we passed Teraueh, fifty miles from Cairo, and it was about this part of the river, which here abounds in mud banks, that we began to realise what quantities of geese and ducks there are in Egyi t. We had no time to attempt to get near them, and even had we been able to try to do so I very much doubt if we should have succeeded in getting even a single shot. But I should think that with a punt and swivel duck gun excellent sport might be obtained all the way from Nigreleh to Werdan, wherever there are mud banks. Near the latter place a sheikh, Ilalim Pasha, has a palace, situated on the edge of the desert, from which be gets gazelle shooti ng , an d, b y cross i n g the river to an island, wild boar shooting ; but the latter, I am informed, have very much decreased in numbers of late, probably from the common cause such cases, increased cultivation. Werdan is on the leiv` or west bank o f th e r i ver, 32i miles from Cairo. The following afternoon, gtill in tow of a steamer, we reached Cairo, or more properly speaking Boa lak, the port of Cairo.

The de ceased and her husband had been to the pantomime at the Theatre Royal, and after the prisoner had had some drink, returned home. The son deposed that the prisoner left home again for a short time. When he came back the deceased hid herself under the bed, when the prisoner took off his overcoat and pulled her out by the hair of the head. There was a light in the room at the time. He then kicked her in the ribs and beat her. She then became insen sible, and the prisoner told his younger son to throw water on her for the purpose of rousing her. She was in a fit. Witness's brother threw some water on her. Witness never F'aw his mother in a fit before. When she recovered from the fit she called for her mother. At that time she had a cut over her eye. After the fit, the prisoner again kicked her in the back and in the sides. The room was covered with blood. There was also blood on her petti coats. She was discovered just breathing by the police and removed to the hospital, where she died in less than an hour. After the witnesses had been examined, the jury returned the following verdict : " That the said Catherine Reilly died on the 221 January from certain fractures and other injuries in flicted on her by her husband, Peter Reilly, at her residence in Gilford-place." The prisoner was then committed to stand his trial at the next commission on the charge of causing the deat h of his wife by yi9lencg, - - The Conferen ce on Technical —, tioni assembled by-,) - the Society of A r t s resume d i ts s i t{ &dock/ . yesterday, under the presidency of 14.1 Mils. at was arranged that the speakers should be limited to ben minutes each. The discussion was continued on the following resolution which was proposed yesterday by Dr. Lyon PlaYfair, and seconded by Earl Russell :—" 1. That to establish and maintain a system of technical education adequate to the requirements of arts, manufactures, and commerce in the United Kingdom, the three following educational reforms should be effected :-1. In the universities, grammar schools, and other educational institutions for the upper and middle classes of society, instruction in science and art should be placed on the same favourable footing as other studies; 2. Efficient means of primary and secondary instruction should be brought within the reach of the working classes everywhere, and encouragement should be given to the study of the elements of science and art in the upper classes of all primary schools which receive Government aid ; and 3. Special institutions for techni cal instruction, adapted to the wants of the various classes of society, and to the industries of the country, should be established and maintained in the United Kingdom.' The first speaker was Mr. CHESTER, who pointed out that while the upper and middle classes were ignorant of science it was in vain to hope that the classes immediately below them would make any progress in its study, and argued that facilities for secondary education were utterly useless unless the primary education of the masses was dealt with in a more efficient manner. As an illustration of this latter point, the speaker stated that Mr. Robert Hunt had informed him that the Mining Institution of Cornwall had failed in its objects because it was found that those to whom it was intended its advantages should apply were not sufficiently advanced to enter with good results upon the course of instruction provided. Mr. ACLAND contended that what was chiefly needed was good secondary education for aspiring artisans and middle-class shopkeepers, this description of education to .0 nup to the age of 14 years. A sound fundamental education to the artisan was a matter of the highest importance, the value of which had been proved in Ur. Samuelson's pamphlet, where it was stated that on the Continent the superior position of the foremen in large factories _was . due to the fact that they had in early , youth rectiiiired an,iducation which included the art of drawing and deslgn. The - speaker, glen -pro• ceeded to touch upon the sad 'deficiency that existed in England in regard to the provisions for efficient instruc tion in science in the schools for the children of the upper class of artisans and the middle-class shop keepers. In proprietary schools, no doubt, excellent arrangeMents for the study of the natural sciences existed, but nothing could be said beyond this. It was therefore absolutely essential that the Legislature should establish . good public schools under proper direction and govern ment for the class to which he had referred. The Hon. A. HERBERT deemed it to be of great importance that there should be an unanimous view on the subject of technical education expressed to the Government. At present the opinion of the public, he believed, was far in advance of the opinion of the Goverenment, rendering it very essential that no plea might be given to the latter to refuse to fa '1 in with the propositions of the former on the ground of the diversity of opinion that existed. Mr. HrD CLARICE urged the importance of instruction in drawing in all public schools. Mr. BROCKLEHURST expressed the great want of tech nical education in a large manufacturing town like Mac clesfield. Professor HUXLEY was of opinion that no good woma no obtained by merely teaching boys the mere scum, and nothing of the science. If the manufactures of the country were to be ultimately improved, it must be by thoroughly impregnating the mind of the youth of the nation with scientific principles. It was, therefore, in his opinion, imperative that scientific should not be subordinated to any other kind of instruction in public schools and univer sities. Professor Huxley further contended that to look to the country for a remedy for the defective system of education that existed would be a mere waste of time, and cited as an example the case of the School of Mines in Jen. myn-street, which had been established by the energy of one man, and was but poorly supported by those connected with the mining interests of this country. The professor concluded by pointing out that in the matter of giving en couragement to technical education and in promoting really clever boys from amongst the people, Government was far ahead of the public. Professor FLEE3IItiG JENKIN proposed that large en gineering firms should be asked to encourage the attendance of the most promising of their workmen at the classes established for instruction in engineering science. The Rev. ARTHUR RIGG, of Chester, deprecated the attempts that had been made to popularise physical science. Mr. CLARK, of the North Chester Chamber of Agri culture, combated the view of the last speaker, and urged the importance of the establishment of primary and advance schools of agriculture. This was a subject with which the committee to be appointed by the Conference should be instructed to deal. Mr. LTTCRAFT, a member of the Reform League, expressed as a working man the belief that had he received a good technical education it would have greatly facilitated him in his trade. He urged that, while the education in science of the artisans' children was an object to be sought, it was also necessary to provide means for the instruction of the working men by the establishment of scientific mu. seums in various parts of the metropolis and in large towns throughout the country. He moved an addition to th resolution before the Confer...o to that effect. This was seconded by Mr. GODWIN, F.R.S., but even• tually it was agreed by the general voice of the Conference that it would be sufficient to introduce the words "and museums" after the words, in the third division of the resolution, " special institutions." M. HEINRICH MEYER, of Hanover, contrasted the educational systems pursued on the Continent and is England. Mr. AYRTON, M.P., advised the Conference to be pre pared for the antagonism which would be exhibited to the scheme under consideration. In the Houses of Lords and Commons, formed as they were so greatly of members of the universities, that opposition would be very great. The Conference must thoroughly understand what the principle was for which they were contending. They were to ask that in the universities the kind of education they desired to see spreading throughout the country should have as firm a footing as education in classics. It must, however, he always remembered that the universities would reflect the character of the schools of the country. He most cordially supported the resolution. This closed the discussion on the first resolution, wine& was put from the chair and carried. Some little disturbance was caused by a gentleman hi the body of the hall attempting to move an amendment. The CHAIE3fAN ruled that he was too late. Mr. CHESTER then proceeded to move the second reso lution, which was : "That in such measures as may be desirable for the general provision of the means of efficient primary and secondary education it would be right to con solidate and improve, rather than overthrow, what has already been done, but that the voluntary principle requires to be supplemented by local rates for education. He deprecated the remission of the voluntary system, but strongly urged that the rating system should be coupled with it. The resolution was seconded by the Bight Lion. Wir.r.rA3i Ct;wrmi, in the absence of Mr. Goschen, M.P. It was the duty - ,of the Government, the speak er contended, to be influenced by the will of the people, and to heartily sup plement the voilintary efforts which had been and stir' would be put forth. The Right Hon. H. A. BRUCE sug,gested that o w i ng t o the unan imity of feeling. that prevailed and the shortness of the Time that still remained, it would be a wise plan to pass the resolution without further discussion. ve telnsiisuCeg nffreermencteheackeloiv,eadteidoe:eal This was carried. The following resolution was then moved by the R s is h f o r. be LA n K e clauses of the . Factory Acts, it is of • Etit's-I‘;hlillichat whileha opinion that the Le„eislature ought now to provide that all children between certain ages, employed in remunerative labour of a certain c h ara cter, should receive education during at least a minimum ntmlber of hours in conductedthe speaker in efficient schools." was persuaded, to remedy the defective condition of compulsory system. BRADY seconded the resolution. Mr. SANDERS asked how the principleexpressed in was the resolutions to be carried out. In his opinion it could only be done by placing all universities, colleges, and schools und er th e con t ro l o f the Minister of the State, and that the funds not supplied by local efforts should be sup plemented by grants from the endowments of the univer sities and by special provision of Government. Mr. CHESTER moved, a s an amendment, the introauc tion of the words "and not merely those" after the words " children between certain ages" in the resolution. This was seconded by Professor ROGERS. The Right. Hon. H. A. BRUCE objected to the amend ment, on the ground that it would pledge the Government to the immediate adoption of a compulsory system. Mr. DIXON, M.P. for Birmingham, warmly supporteck the amendment. Sir JAMES KAY SRUTTLEWORTII suggested that insteaa of the word " now " in the resolution should be inserted This would the words "as early as posssible." probably do away with Mr. I3ruce's objection to Mr. Chester's amendment on the re solution. I Sir W ALT ER STIRLING thought the p„rnglinc.iple of co npu sory e Eishmen would not education was a dangerous on . be educated at the point of the sword. Mr. ELLis, Mr. PATTISON, Mr. CONOLLY, and others navino• it spoken to the resolution, was put and carried. The ° last resolution submitted to the Conference was, `That the council of this society be requested to appoint standing committee, to take such steps a s may give e ffect to the fore g oin g resolutions, to sup port • suc h well-advised schemes for technical education as may be brought before it, to send such deputations to the Government as may seem expe dient, and to reassemble this Conference when desirable." The resolution was proposed by Mr. SAMUELSON and seconded by the Rev. H. SOLLY, of the Working Men's .Institute, and carried. The Conference then broke up.
