GOLD FIELDS OF AUSTRALIA At a recent meeting of the Geological Society a paper was read t" On the Gold Fields of Victoria, or Port I Philip, communicated by P. N. Johnson, F.G.5.," from which it appeared that the " Australian Alps" are a series of distinct mountain ranges, that pass xound the south-eastern corner of Australia (nearly parallel to the coast line, and from 50 to 80-miles from the sea), and form a part of the main chain of the continent. This mountain chain, in Victoria, consists of clay slates, mica slates, and flinty slates, together with granite, in a suc cessional arrangement, forming collectively a, recurring series. The strata are nearly or quite vertical, with a north and south strike, and are intersected by numerous quartz veins, running at an acute angle with the slate. Vast plains of trap, forming high table lands, run up to the base of the mountain, and probably cover their lower slopes. It is in the valleys and gullies of these mountains, and not very far from their junction with the trappean plains, that the rich deposits of gold are found. Gold has been discovered at several points along this zone of mountains ; but the richest deposits opened in the colony of Victoria are those of Ballarat and Mount Alexander. The former is about 55 miles N.W. of Geelong • and the latter about 35 miles N.W. of Melbourne. The enormous amount of gold which the latter district has yielded has chiefly been derived from two valleys with their gullies and ravines. These valleys are known by the names of the streams or " creeks" that run through them. One of these, Forest Creek, takes its rise in the granita forming the central mass of Mount Alexander ; the other has its source in the high and broken ranges of slate that environ the mount. Both creeks are tributaries of the river Loddon, on the banks of which, also, gold is found in small quantities. The Ballarat gold-field lies at the junction of the slate with a trappean tract about seven miles from an extinct volcano, known as Mount Benin ong. The original matrix of the gold seems to be the above-mentioned quartz veins that traverse the slate generally in a north and south direction. The wear ing away of the slate rocks and their quartz veins by the action of the weather and by aqueous agency -have given rise to the auriferous beds of gravel and clay occupying the beds of the ravines and valleys at the pre sent day. Occasionally the gold is found at or near the surface of the soil, diffused through the gravel ; some times it lies as much as thirty feet. beneath the surface, embedded in clay, either immediately upon the rouAh rock surface below, or just above a white clay, known by the miners as " the pipe-clay ;" and it may be met with in other localities at every intermediate depth. In some places boulders of quartz and beds of hard concrete of quartz and slate pebbles occur in the auriferous clays. These different conditions of the auriferous beds depend upon the physical characters of the gullies and the valleys down which the drifted materials have been carried, and upon the varying force of the water power that at dif ferent times and at different places has been brought to bear upon this shingle, sand, and mud. Thus in the creeks the deposits in their channels are richest at points where the stream has been impeded in its course either by frequent sinuosities or by being crossed by a bar of rock ; this holds good with the deserted channel of streams also. When auriferous clays and gravels occur in the dry gullies descending from the higher ranges, the richest deposits are always found in the ancient channel or bed of the gully, often occupying a very narrow area ; but when these gullies contract at their junction with the larger valleys, the auriferous clays are often continued up the sides of the inclosing hills, even to their crests, and the distribution of the beds and of the gold is very variable under these circumstances, as though the beds had been here deposited by means of strong con flicting eddies and currents. It appears that, with regard to Victoria, the gold has been arrested in the small mountain ravines and gullies, and was not washed down to the larger streams. Auriferous sands in river banks, or in alluvial plans of the low lands, are unknown in this colony. The methods of working the gold-bear ing alluvia, either at the surface or by pits and "holes," vary, of course, according to the depth to be attained and the means at the command of the miners. The methods of separating the gold from the gravels and clays are the same as those used elsewhere in New South Wales and California. [Besides the Ballarat and Mount Alexander gold-fields,. " diggings" have been opened at Mount Blackwood, and on the Moorabool River, near Ballarat ; on the Plenty and the )(arra, Yarn, Rivers, N.E. of Melbourne; on the Mitta Mitta River and Lake o.ineo ; in the N.E. part of the colony, as well as at several points along the eastern portion of the boundary line between Victoria and New South Wales.] THE LONDON INSTITUTION. At a recent meeting of this institution Dr. W. R. Dexfield gave the lirst lecture of his course " On the Present State of Music in England." The subject was church music, the different classes of which were treated under the denominations subjoined—chants, psalm tunes, chorales, services, anthems, sanctuses, responses, masses, voluntaries. Various examples of these were performed, after an appropriate introduction, by Dr. Bexfield, who accompanied the singers on the orgue a percussion, con structed by the Alexandres of Paris. At a subsequent meeting Dr. Lyon Playfair delivered his second lecture " On the Dependence of Industry on Science," discussing and illustrating on the present occa sion the following parts of the subject :—Science as an element in the cost of production—abstract philosophers are productive labourers--distinction between science and art—general proofs of the birth of utilities from ab stractions. In regard to the first point, he observed that empirical experience had hitherto had the greatest influence in the progress of industry, of which the manu facture of gunpowder, the production of food, the use of mills and pumps, and the making of glass and china, presented examples ; no science, no philosophical know ledge of the properties of the objects concerned, having been applied in effecting these objects. Two thousand years' experience in the making of porcelain gave China a monopoly of the world, but a few years of science had given England the knowledge which it had. taken the Chinese the former period to attain. Thus science, guiding experience, is far more to be relied upon ; the latter may be a crutch for a lame man, but will never enable him to run a race. The very gradual progyee of philosophy, and the neces sity therefor for its abstract culture, was illustrated by reference to the history of the telescope and the micro scope, which did not open their wonders to an unex pecting and startled world, but crept into existence with steps so slow that their impression is not sufficient to trace out the history of their progress. The improve ments in the steam-engine, again were so gradual that a court of law, only half a century since, gave a soleuln judgment that Watt had done nothing essential towards them. The compass cannot point to us the period when it offered its inestimable services to man, nor has paper left us a record of its discoverer. The lecturer next proceeded to consider the true nature of theory, and of its relation to practice, strongly controverting their supposed antagonism, and contrasting the pert adage that an ounce of practice is worth a ton of theory, with the demonstrable truth that a grain of theory is worth, when rightly directed, many tons of practice. In illustration of the principle that abstract philosophers were the real benefactors of industry, and that prac tical appliances were only the mediums by which the truths made known by them were imparted to the industrial worhi, the progress of several branches of science was specially traced, beginning with that of electricity. In distinguishing on this subject mere observation from science, it was observed that, while Pliny, Aristotle, and Ual-en all knew that a fish was abundant in the Mediterranean which, on being touched, gave a shock, the natives of the banks of the Orinoco knew that an eel-like fish abounded in that river having the same property ; and the legionaries of Caesar ob served in certain states of the weather a lambient playing on their spear-heads ; but that none knew, until a certain stage in the progress of science had been at tained, and that of recent date, that all these effects pro ceeded from the same cause. The principles of the elec- . tric telegraph, as one of the inestimable fruits of the culture of science, were explained, together with its con struction and use, Mr. Thomas Allan's recently patented telegraph being exhibited. A working model of his patent direct magneto-electric engine, in which it has been attempted to avoid the errors both in mechanics and in magnetism of former machines having the same object, was also exhibited in action ; but Dr. Playfair, while approving the construction adopted by Mr. Allan, did not hold out much hope of success in the application of maerneto-electricity as a prime mover, unless the cost of the zinc consunied as the source of power could be covered by the value of some article produced in the battery, such as the stannate of soda, resulting from the action of the battery lately devised by Mr. Martyn I '°- . 4?erts. Other important results of th e p ro d uc ti on o f utilities i n the pursuit of abstract science were adduced, i'dustrated, and exhibited. DISCOVERY Ov AN ANCIENT CHAPEL IN LEADENHALL ST REET, CITY. —A. most interesting discovery of a beau tiful vestige of G o thi c architecture, in excellent preser vation, has been made beneath the house at the south-east corner of Leadenhall-street, and directly opposite to Aid ga t e Pump, at piesent in the occupation of Mr. J. Brown, ti le patentee of th e i mproved sea bed. The arches and vaults on the basement have been hitherto used as a warehouse for wood and other materials, but the extreme beauty of the architecture, particularly the sculpture and groining, led to an investigation, and after a most diligent search, it was ascertained to be the re mains of a chapel dedicated to St. Michael, and i s de signated by old historians as "Next Aldgate.7 It ap pears to be of very great antiquity, having been built by Norman, Prior of St. Katharine s of the Holy Trinity, in the reign of Henry I. and his Queen, Matilda of Bou logne, about the year 1103, and is now nearly 750 years old. The chapel consists of pillars and arches ; its length, from north to south (contrary to the present mode of building sacred edifices), i s 43 feet, and its breadth, from east to west, 16 feet. The wails are con structed with oblong blocks of chalk, similar to those of Rochester Castle ; the arches are of stone, the keys of which are beautifully sculptured with masques and other devices, and exhibit at a glance the skilful masonry of our ancestors. The chapel has been filled with soil and rubbish nearly to the capital of the pillars.

BOW-STREET.—John Fitzgerald, a carpenter, was brought before Mr. Jardine for final examination, charged with stabbing and wounding his wife, with in tent to kill her. . The prisoner lived with his wife and two children at 7, Eagle-court, Catherine-street, Strand. Between twelve and one o'clock in the morning of the 30th ult., the neighbours were alarmed by cries of " murder," and the shrieks of children, and the same noises were heard by a man named Broadstreet, a shoemaker, who lodged in the attic of the same house, but who (he said) " was so accustomed to hear the cry of murder in that neigh bourhood, at all hours of the night, that he did not think it worth his while to get out of bed and see what was the matter," until he was informed that a woman had been stabbed. Mary Jenks, a married woman living in the adjoining court (Angel-court) was induced, however, to leave her bed for the purpose of ascertaining the cause of the disturbance, especially as the cries for help ap peared to grow weaker, as if from a woman in a state of exhaustion. On reaching the court she found a woman sitting on the door-step of the house adjoining the one from which the cries had just emanated, and she ap peared in a fainting condition. It was discovered that she was bleeding from a wound in her breast, and from another in her neck. Mrs. Jenks asked her who had done it, and she replied, in a weak voice, " My husband, my husband." . By this time a young surgeon, two or three other persons, and a police-constable had reached the spot, and the woman, having been pro nounced by the surgeon to be in a sinking state, was re moved to King's College Hospital: The constable then proceeded to the room occupied by the prisoner, at 7, Eagle-court, and, knocking outside, requested to be let in. The prisoner opened the!door, and Broadstreet, who had come down stairs, was also admitted ; but he said nothing to either of them in answer to the charge. He appeared under the influence of drink. After he had been taken into custody the room was entered by the landlady of the house and another woman, who found the prisoner's two children there. The eldest, a little girl about twelve; told them that her father had stabbed her mother with the auger on the mantel-piece. They looked and found the tool lying there. It was a long, sharp instrument, and Broadstreet noticed two small pieces of flesh adhering to it. Some spots of blood had also been observed upon the prisoner's face. On the following morning (Monday) the medical officers of the hospital beinr , of opinion that the woman was in a dying state, her deposition was taken before Mr. Jardine ; but, although supposed to be upon her dying bed, she declared that the injuries she had sustained were caused accidentally. She stated, "That she and her husband had gone home late, and not being able to get into their room, as he had lost the key, he tried to pick the lock with a gimlet, but it slipped somehow, and went into her." After the expiration of about ten days, however, she was sufficiently recovered to leave the hospital, and was consequently present at the examination yesterday. She now gave another version of the story, stating, " That she snatched the gimlet out of her husband's hands, and then fell down stairs • that he never laid hands upon her once ; and that, after the fall, she went up stairs again and placed the gimlet upon the mantel piece." Mr. Jardine reminded her that she had already told a different story, and that if she did not speak the truth, she was liable to be prosecuted for perjury. The wife (Sarah Fitzgerald) then said----" I may have been light-headed at the hospital. Whatever I said then, what I say to-day is the truth." The prisoner said nothing to the charge, relying, as appeared from some questions which he put to his wife, upon her statement for his defence. - The witnesses were then bound over to give evidence against the prisoner upon his trial ; the deposition of the surgeon, who was unable to attend, to be added at a fu ture day. The Prisoner was accordingly committed. MANSION-HOUSE.— Thomas Golden Valle was brought finally before the Lord Mayor upon the charge of having, on the high seas, within the jurisdiction of the Court of Admiralty, feloniously killed and slayed Doyle, one of the natives of the Sandwich Islands, em ployed to navigate the Pekin, Captain Whitby, from Honolulu to England. The Secretary to the Hudson Bay Company, by whom the prosecution has been under taken, attended during the proceedings, which occupied about three hours. Mr. Maynard, of the firm of Crowder and Maynard, appeared to conduct the prosecution; Mr. Mullens. of the firm of Bush and Mullens, appeared for the defence. The City Solicitor attended to watch the proceedings by direction of the Lord Mayor. The depositions of Capt. Whitby and the second and third mates of the vessel, of which the prisoner is the first mate, were read by Mr. Goodman, the chief clerk. These witnesses distinctly stated that the prisoner had neither struck Doyle with a piece of wood or a rope, and that he had walked down from the rigging to the deck without having been treated with any more -violence than was necessary to tie Lim to the rigging , where he was kept a short time as a pu n ishment for his laziness and disobedience to orders when all hands were ordered aloft in a heavy sea. They described the prisoner as a person of remarkable kindness of disposition. After further additional evidence, _ _ The Lord Mayor then, addressing the prisoner, said : After a very long and strict examination of all the evi dence given before me in this case. I consider it to be my duty to commit you for trial in another court upon the charge of killing and slaying the deceased. His lordship then read the usual words according to the act of Parliament previously to committal. The prisoner said emphatically : I have only to say, my lord, that the charge made against me is entirely false,,and the evidence which has just been read has proved that it is so. - The Lord Mayor : It is satisfactory to me to state that I can, without any scruple, accept bail for your appear ance elsewhere to take your trial, and I trust that you will be able to prove your innocence. The prisoner's father, who is a country gentleman of considerable property, and another person of respecta bility, were then accepted as security for the prisoner's attendance at the Admiralty Sessions in the sum of 1001. each. GUILDHALL.—Mr. John Chuck, a broker in Shoe lane, appeared before Mr. Alderman Copeland, on an adjourned summons charging him with having taken other and greater charges for levying a distress than the law permitted. Alderman Copeland said he had been to the Commis• sioners of Sewers, and . was aware that every lenity had been shown towards the complainant, and he was very foolish in " kicking against the pricks." The principal objections to the defendant's charges were his charging for a double appraisement, 10s. for a catalogue and ad vertisements, and the price of two warrants, which con tained many other names besides the complainant's. Mr. Wontner said there were two rates, and the charges for two appraisements were therefore justified. Alderman Copeland said the system of charging every person named in the warrant of distress the full expenses, struck him at first sight as something very extraordinary. Against lot 79 there was 40s. written in the catalogue, which he supposed meant the price it fetched at the auc tion, and in the account sales that lot is put down as having been sold for 20s. only, while in another part of the account sales a lot appeared to have been sold for 4s. Gd. ' which in the catalogue was blotted out. Mr. Wontner assured the alderman that lot 79, con sisting of an eight-day dial, was really sold for 205., and the complainant could even now have that back on pay ing that amount, as it had not yet been cleared. Alderman Copeland, after a careful consideration of all the circumstances, then delivered his decision in the following terms :—The complainant in this case alleges that the broker's charges were excessive as to the ap praisement and removing the goods. The charge for ap praisement appears, however, correct, as the goods aeized for each rate exceeded U. The charge, therefore, of is. in each case is not excessive. The charge for removing the goods is not one permitted by the schedule of ex penses by the general law regulating distresses for rates and taxes ; but it is legal in this case, being authorised by the City Sewers Act. I am, however, happy to say that the Commissioners of Sewers mean to erase this charge for the future. In looking over the charges there is one I must notice. As to one rate no charge is made for the catalogue and advertisement, but in the other case 10s. is charged. This I conceive to be exces sive. These expenses should be shared proportionally between all who put their goods into this sale. Out of 106 lots sold only four belonged to the complainant. An equal charge of sd. per lot on the 106 lots would give 2/. 6s. 24. to defray the expenses of printing cata logues and advertisements. The complainant having only four lots in the sale, should have been charged only ls. Bd., and he has therefore been overcharged Bs. 4d., and the penalty of such surcharge is 255., being treble the amount improperly taken. The defendant's charges, including the rates in the reckoning, are 3/. 9s. 3(1., but from this we must deduct his overcharge of Bs. 4d., and this gives the total of 3/. Os. 11d. for rates and charges. The four lots were sold for 3/. 6s. 6d., and the overplus to be returned to complainant was ss. 7d. It has been urged that the4evy was excessive; but as the goods were appraised by a sworn broker at 2/. 135., and produced only 3/. 6s. 6d. in the auction room, I think that imputation is hardly made out, especially as the broker before these proceedings offered to restore two of the lots,' including the eight-day dial, at the sale price. With respect to the charge of 2s. 6d. made by the Commissioners of Sewert, and which the broker has nothing to do with, I have received this explanation—that though each party is adjudged to pay it, only one or two of the parties actually pay it. Of the seventeen persons named in the present warrant, the complainant was the only one who had paid it. Nine persons paid the rate without any expenses, upon receiving notice that the warrant had been signed, and there are seven others against whom the charge might still be enforced ; but the practice in this respect will, I am assured, be amended. I shall mltigate the penalty, and fine the defendant lls. 5d., which, with ss. overcharge and 3s. costs, will make in all ,l l l / ; money was immediately paid. FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE of YESTERDAY.

THE DERBY LOT .., , There are thirty-two Derby horses in training at New market, distributed among eleven stables. The Marquis of Exeter—one of the most popular men on the turf, owing to the straightforward manner in which his affairs are conducted, and a few years ago, for a great length of time, one of the unluckiest, which, however, was not the case during the past year—has, as usual, one of the largest Derby lots in the kingdom, under the care of HARLOCK. _ . . . The string originally amounted to eight, three of whom (the MAJOR, commented on in No. 365 of these Notes , b c NUTHOOK, by Nutwith out of T oga ; and b c HUSK , by Nutwith out of Elegance) have been disposed of at very low figures, on account of their inferior quality ; and the Hersey colt, nominated by Col. Peel, purchased at the sale of that gentleman's stud in August, 1851, for 170 guineas, added, making the number in training at the present time six. The br c NUTPECKER, by Nutwith out of Amina ; ch c COBNUT, by Nutwith out of Glenara • b c HAZL ENUT, by Nutwith out of Macremma ; b g WALNUT, by Nut with out of Silistria ; and b c by Orlando out of Hersey, have, one and all, not the ghost of a chance of winning the Derby. The whole batch have got plenty of work cut out for them in the Craven and First Spring Meet ings at home without taking into consideration the Epsom affair. The three-years-old pick of the stable, b C FILBERT, by Nutwith out of Celia, has hitherto been destined to the same be gfatenear a rt s b h e is fi s r t s a t be companion Ambrose—that p l osition,butnever oeeupyioccupying of ever being it. He made his first appearance in the betting on the Monday in the last Second October Meeting at Newmarket, when be was backed by his owner at 30 to 1 in thousands, and in the course of the following fortnight, at figures varying between 20 and 33 to 1, to win about forty thousand more, all of which, I fancy, will eventually go into the sinking fund. His first appearance was for the Clear well Stakes, when, not up to the mark, he finished a very good third to Orinoco, not being beaten by a length, and after running very green throughout. His next essay was for the Prendergast, for which he was beaten three parts of a length by Sittingbourne. At the Houghton Meeting he finished a good third to Speed the Plough for the Criterion Stakes ; and his fourth and last race, as a two-years-old saw him figure as a bad second to West Australian for the Glasgow Stakes. That he is an useful and improving animal I at once admit, and that he will give a good account of his performances at head quarters this spring, I consider certain, but as the winner of the Derby I cannot have him for an instant. J. ROGERS has four Derby horses at work. Lord W. Powlett's b DEAR ME ! by Melbourne, out of Ennui, nominated by Mr. Jaques ; Mr.. Ramsbottom's b c JUPITER TORNANS, by Alarm, out of Queen of Cyprus ; Mr. T. Robinson's br c JERRY KENT, by Jericho, out of Glee ; and his own br c JORDAN, by Jericho, out of Lady Love. Not one of these have as yet appeared in public. They are all moderate animals, Jordan being the best, and are of no use for the Epsom event. Beresford has Mr. Nevill's ch c by Vorulam, out of Madinella, nominated by Mr. Johnston, in training. He has run once, and is not good enough by a stone at least for the Derby. Rayner has Mr. Lucas' b c RUMOUR, by the Libel, dam by Reveller, out of Veil, at work. Re has not ap peared yet, and, when he does, will not perform very favourably. Mr. Bosville's b c lONIC, by lon, out of Diploma, is doing fair work under the guidance of J. Perren. Has run once, and been beaten. Is a third-rate animal. THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF.

PRICE OF SUGAR, The average price of Brown or Muscovado Sugar, computed from the returns made in the week ending the Bth day of February, 1853, is 255. lid. per hundred weight, exclusive of the duties of Customs paid or payable thereon on the im portation thereof into Great Britain. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From th.e London. New Price Current of yesterday.) SUGAR.—To - day there were several buyers of West India sugar for home consumption, and rates fully equal to last Friday, but supply keeps scanty. Operations are 226 hhds, &c., including at auction 70 hhds and 15 tierces Demerara crystalised which sold at 40s to 40s 6d for fine, fund at 36s to 39s 6d for good. For the week purchases are 1,578 hhds, &c., 300 out of second hands. The market 'loses with a firm aspect. REFINED.—Prices for brown lumps rule at 458; tittlers, low to fins 455 6d to 495, double 50s to 52s ; Hambro loaves 46s to 50s, double 51s to 535, and standard lumps 46s 6d per cwt. There are several buyers for delivery at these terms, and with few sellers. Consumption is evidently larger than in the former year. To-day refined sugar was in active demand for home trade purposes ; brown lumps realised 45s to 45s 6d, and low to fine grocery 46s to 48s. The market closes with a firm aspect. Meunmus has been much inquired after, supply is less than previously of all sorts, and in some cases rather higher prices are obtained. This afternoon there were ready buyers of Mauritius sugar and prices are well supported. At auction 5,000 bags are sold ; low to mid yellow at 34s Gd to 365, good to fine 36s 6cl to 395, fine brown 33s to 345, and other sorts 29s to 32s 6d per cwt. EAST INDIA.—A larger demand exists for Bengal, and in consequence of a limited quantity brought forward pre vious terms are easily obtained, indeed in some cases there is a small advance for lower sorts. This afternoon several parcels of Bengal sugar were sold privately at full rates. COCOA.—Purchases in foreign are still trifling, and there appears a desire to sell, Bahia at 2is 6d to 255, Para 26s Gd to 23s has b 6d and Guay aqu il a t 34 s t o 36 s per cw t. Th e improved this we e k 'for Trinidad, and at auc tions of the new crop sold, at fu ll pr i ces, goo d t o fine t ag 3Bs to 41 s 6d , l ow to m id 35 s 6d t o 37 5, an d demand r3ect 6 7 a grey from 32s to 355. Privately some parcels have been disposed of at similar rates, and Grenada realised 30s to 35s 6d, fine 36s to 37s per cwt. COFFEE.—Although there continues to be a reluctance to operate in Native Ceylon, yet holders are firm, and ob tain 46s 6d to 473 for good ord of new import, and 47s 6d for superior. To-day many parcels of Plantation Ceylon under the denomination of mid were sold privately at full rates. There is, however, yet little doing in better sorts with sellers at previous terms. Not any was offered at auction. Although Native Ceylon met with little notice, yet good ord of new import cannot be obtained under 475. Mocha sells more freely, and at auction 100 bales from Alexandria realised 66s 6d to 67s Gd, for good greenish being rather higher prices. TEA.—A more active demand has been experienced for low to good common Congou, and the currency is firm at 10d to 104 d per lb. for sound. Prices have not improved for other sorts, still large transations have taken place ; rather blackish leaf to blackish leaf at 10/K1 to ls, strong to pekoe flavour is id to is Bd, and superior is 9d to 2s 2d. Green is less freely offered for sale, and large transact'o - is having taken place prices are supported ; and of lower sorts of young hyson the quantity at market is now barley sufficient for dealers' wants. RICE. —The dullness in the market for East India has further increased, and there having been a more plentiful supply of Madras prices declined 3d to 6d per cwt. Coringa buyers at 10s to 10s 6d for good quality, at 7s 6d to 9s 6d for damaged, and 117,,bags at 9s to 9s Gd for sound barley grain. In other sorts privately purchases have been small both for the home and foreign markets, although there are sellers at rather lower rates. SPICES..—Of nutmegs supply is barely adequate to the demand, and previous terms are well supported. At auc tion 23 cases found buyers, fine brown at 3s lid, mid to good 2s 6d t o 2 s 11d, small 2s to 2s 4d. Privately some parcels of limed sold at 1s Gd to 2s, and fine 2s 2d to 2s 4d. Mace is in small supply and wanted, rates in consequence are on the rise, first sort selling privately at 2s 10d to 3s 2d, and oth er kinds 2s 5d to 2s 9d. Only 5 cases have been offered at auction. Cloves aro in increased request, and rates rather incline upwards. Rum, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—Choice sorts 37s to 405 per cent. over proof sold at 4s to 4s 4d, fine 34 to 36 over 38 5d to 3s 10d, good 2s lld to 3s 4d, low to mid 28 to 34 over 2s 7d to 10d. In Leeward Island purchases have been trifling, and is 10d to 1s lid is the nearest value proof, but supply keeps scanty, yet few buyers are to be met with, and this price cannot be obtained for arrival. Havannah is scarce, and worth 1s 9id proof, but no sales have taken place. Rum is 6d. Brandy is offer ing at further reduced terms, yet exporters and home dealers are reluctant to operate, The currency now is for Cognac best brands of the vintage of 1851. 7s 6d to 7s Bd, 1850 ditto 7s 8d to 7s 10d, 1849 ditto 7s 10d to Bs, older 8s 2d to 8s 4d, low to mid 6s 6d to 7s 4d, and Bor deaux 6s to 6s 2d. INDIGO.—To-day at auction 50 serons Guatimala Indigo sold freely at full rates, and went at 3s id to 5s 4d per lb. . . COCHINEAL.—This afternoon there was less desire to operate in Cochineal, and prices declined id per lb. Of 200 bags at auction about half sold, Honduras silvers at 3s 9d to 4s ld, and dead grain 3s to 3s 4d per lb. TALLOW.—A reluctance is evinced to purchase for de livery, and there are sellers at 43s to 43s 3d for last three months of the year. The quantity of home melted on offer yet exceeds consumption, and 44s accepted cash. At auction this afternoon 450 casks Australian were in part sold, Beef at 41s to 42s 6d ; Mutton 41s to 44s 6d • 100 casks South American 4 1s 6 d to 44 s 6 d ; 138 packages East India vegetable 43s per cwt.

On Thursday se'ennight an inquest was opened at 1,;„ 5 titrife of thitheS Angus, china merchant, who had died on the preceding day, under suspicious circumstances. Mary Stewart, sister of the deceased, was examined at some length, and from her evidence it appeared that the deceased and her husband had not been upon good terms, and that Angus had ill-used her, and threatened to do her an injury. Mr. Angus had shops in Newcastle, Berwick, and Glasgow, residing' in the first-named town, and on the 27th ult. he had gone to Berwick for the purpose of examining the books of the deceased, and had charged her with being behind hand in the money. A quarrel took place on Sunday, when he handled her roughly, and she be came unwell, and died on the Wednesday following. Witness had sent for wine on Tuesday evening, and was going up stairs to give it to the deceased, when she met Angus, who said, "he had given her wine, and it was all right." Deceased vomited very much afterwards, and expired in the course of the night. The inquest was then adjourned to Tuesday, when Mary Stewart, sister of the deecased, was again sworn. She identified some papers produced as having been in the possession of her sister. One of these was a certificate of her mar riage with Angus, at Lamberton Toll, on the 6th of April, 1851, signed by George Sharp. Another paper, not signed, set forth that the writer had never married the parties, although he had given her a paper to that effects on a pretence. Another was a promis sory note to pay deceased 201., and a further 301. to her father on his proving a claim to it ; but that, if she took the writer's name, she should lose all I claim to it for seven years. Dr. Kirkwood was next called, and detailed the symptoms shown by the deceased on her taking ill. Deceased complained of violent vomitings, with a burning pain at the pit of her stomach. Her voice was very hoarse, and she was frequently in convulsive fits. The fits were not of an ordinary charac ter, and he asked deceased if she had taken anything de leterious. She replied that she had been unable to take anything for some days. Witness had never seen a case of poisoning by arsenic. He had made a post-mortem examination of the body, but found nothing which would account for death, either by natural causes or otherwise. He had not examined the vomiting. From appearances previous to death, he imagined arsenic had been taken, and that suspicion was neither confirmed nor removed by the examination. The coroner said he proposed sending the Contents of the deceased's stomach to Dr. Glover, of Newcastle, for a more minute analysis, and the inquest was accordingly adjourned to*Monday, the 21st instant. The following letter, written by Angus to deceased's father, was given in evidence at the first sitting. The letter was without a date, but the postmark was " Edin burgh, June, 6, 1851" : 11. The arrivals of foreign grain and flour the last thi e _ ° . days are on a reduced. scale. The British grower likewise been supplying the interior markets less freely wheat, and altogether a firm feeling has prevailed in„ trade, prices b e i ng we ll suppor t e d.

" Dear Sir,—Don't ala rm y ourse lf about" me being mar ried to your daughter Jane. I never was or never will be, as you stated to me child. If I had been, she would have been in eternity and me in prison. I wish you well. I also wish her from me heart well. I could explain all —no credit to her, no easement to you.

From the enlarged scale which the proposed Exhibition has assumed, it has proved necessary to add considerably to the original design of the building, and Mr. Dargan has liberally consented to appropriate to the Fine Arts De partment a new and extensive structure. Here it is proposed to exhibit the most extensive collection of the • remarkable early antiquities of Ireland hitherto pre sented to the archaeologist, in which the entire museum of the Royal Irish Academy, and . the remarkable collet. tion formed at the last meeting of the British Associa tion, at Belfast, will be combined with numerous choice examples from private collections, so as to display as com plete an illustration as possible of the varied and singular forms and the skilful processes of ancient manufacture shown in the earlier antiquities of Ireland. The sin gular fashion and the richly elaborate decoration of these objects are almost unknown in England ; whilst they present numerous features, more especially in the skill shown in the working of metals, which are well deserv ing of the close examination of the modern artificer. Lord Talbot has also contemplated the desirable end, by means of an extensive combination of similar objects of antiquity, brought together from collections in England r and other countries, now for the first time to be produced in juxtaposition with those of the sister kingdom, of throwing a fresh light upon many questions which have perplexed the archmlogist. The value of such a museum as has thus been proposed by the noble president of the institute is obvious, both in its bearing upon matters of practical advantage and as auxiliary to ethnographical and historical inquiries. Tan LATE MR. TURNER, R.A.--"He never allowed a picture from his pencil to be sold by public auction without sending some person to bid for it ; and his wishes on this subject was so generally known, that auctioneers made a point of calling his attention to the catalogue whenever they had any of his pictures for sale. If time pressed, and he was unable to attend in person, he would sometimes, but rarely, intrust his commission to the auctioneer; his ordinary piactice was to send sonic agent, with written instructions, to bid in his be half, and he was not always very fastidious in his selec tion. At the sale of the pictures of Mr. Green, the well known amateur of Blackheath, two pictures by Mr. Tur ner were among the most attractive lots, though neither important in size nor of his best time. In those days their market value might have been about 80 guineas each. They would, however, have been knocked down for considerably less but for the impetus given to the biddings by one of Mr. Turner's agents, whose personal appearance did not warrant the belief that he was in search of pictures of a very high order. He was, in fact, a clean, ruddy-cheeked butcher's boy, in the usual cos tume of his vocation, and had made several advances in five guinea strides, before anything belonging to him, excepting his voice, had attracted Mr. Christie 's notice. No sooner, however, did the veteran auctioneer discover what kind of costomer he had to deal with, than he bec koned him forward, with a view, no doubt, of reproving him for his impertinence. The boy, however, nothing daunted, put a small piece of greasy paper into his hand —a credential, in fact, from the painter himself. The auctioneer smiled, and the biddings proceeded."— Sketch by A.
