The Magdalena, arrived yesterday from Mexico , has brou g ht 40 ,0007., chiefly in silver, as that part of the supply for transmission to the East early next month is already provided, while the imports from Australia that are expected in the interval wdl prevent any serious drain from the Bank of England. There is still a good. demand for money in Lombard -street, and yesterday the applications are stated to have been rather preising. There is a good supply however and the terms are compara tively easy. About 8,0007. in gull from Russia was sold to the Bank of England. yesterday. The Funds are again rather variable. At the commencement of business they appeared to be firmer, but soon afterwards sales were pressed, which occasoned a slight decline. Specu lation is quiet, and the weakness of the quo tations is ascribed. to the operations of the dealers.

A. new and most delightful pathway for the ton list and the lover of the pictur. sque has just been marked out bet we n the north of Ireland and Pie Highlands of Scotland. This will be highly advantigeous in anoVier point of view, as forming one more cinnecting link between the Sist er islands. The route has ben suggested by the completion of the railway from Belfast to Port tru4h, hitherto an unpretending little fishing vil lage, but growing 'daily iu extent, and likely even to take a more prominent place. The facilities which nature has provided for the erection of a great safety harbour for vessels sail ing by the north channel point out th;s as indispen sable. The work ismore than half done by a chain of islets in the very line in which the embank went should lie to form the harbour, with en ranee and safe lying for vessels of any amount of ton nage. The sail from' Portrush to the charming little village of Oban occupies about eight hours, only two of which may be said to be at sea; for, as an American traveller remarked, it was exactly like sailing down the Mississippi when passing through the Sound of Islay and Jura, and then, when rounding Eisdale and entering the lovely Bay of Oban, when the boats stops, the Caledonian and other comfortable hotels offer to the traveller an excellent cuisine and a Highland welcome. The trial trip was performed on Friday morning by a first-class' steamer, the Stork, belonging to the Glasgow and Belfast Company, cpmmanded - by an intelilgent active officer, Archibald White. Her first passage was performed within eight hours leaving Portrush at ten a.m., she arrived at he destination (Oban) before six p.m. This esti. blished her route to be the quickest and cheapest to the Highlands and West-Til Islands. Her days of sailing are fixed for Tuesday and Thursday, enabling the traveller to avail himself of the steamer which goes to Staffa, lona, &c., or proceed by coach or steamer to any part of this romantic and beautiful countay. Ohan being the headquarters of tourists from all parts of the w-rld to see lona and Staffa, it will now be in their power to visit the Giants' Causeway on the Irish coast with the celebrated basaltic columns of identical form and matter. The deligh , ful jour ney then presents itself of Dublin, Wicklow, Cork, Killarney, &c., by r a il ways equa l i n con duct and safety to any English or Scot , l. On Monday the line was -opened by throu g h ticket to Oban and back for fabulous sum s i n point of - cheapness ; and the public will,' on th e slightest consideration, adopt it as their route, if bent upon enjoying the beauties of the northern and floral western scenery of Ireland and Scotland.-4crun -ders' News Dtter.

DIVORCE AND MATRIMONIAL CAUSES (STAMP DUTIES.) The house went into committee and agreed to the fol lowing resolutions : "runt the same amount of stamp duty as is now pay able on the adroi,sion of a proctor to any eeclo:Aastical court, shad be payable by every person to be admitted as a proetor in the Court of Divorce an:l Matrimonial Causes, or in the Court of Probate, who shall not have been prcviouly admitted as a proctor in the other of such clorts, or in an ecc'esio,tlcal or admiralty court. and have paid the stamp duty in re4pect thereof. " That every person who shall practise as a proctor or as a FO!iel , Or or :attorney in the sari Court of Divorce and Matrimonial Ca•:ses, or the said Court of Pri,bate, shall obtaio an annual c , ..rtifil.tte to authorise him so to do under the stamp duty acts in the same manner as proct , rs practising in the Ecclesiastical or Admiralty Court., and solicitors and attorneys practising in hot Majest 'a Courts at WeAcoinaer, are now required to do by tee said acts or any of them. DIVORCE AND MATRDIONIAL CAUSES BILL. The c,mtnittee on this bill was resumed. Oo clause .53, Sir W. 11 EA.THCOTE said that be very much regretted to i.iform the house that his friend and colleague (llr. Gladstone) who bail an it'll portant amendment next in order on the paper for the consideration of the committee, had lately been suffering under a severe domestic effliction, which was the cause of his absence from the House a considerable portion of yesterday The spurt heneion that it would c two) his absence from the House the remainder of the session bad, be regretted to say, ac'.u aily occurred, and it devolved on him . (Sir W. Heathcote) to move the important amendment of his right hon. col league and friend to this clause. The clause as it stood called on the clergy to marry divorced parties, which would not only be repugnaet to the feelings of the majority of them, but (as most of them belie red) contrary to ibe law of God. To relieve the clergy from the diffi culty in which they found themselves placed by this clause, his right hon. friend had given notice of this amendment which was to the effect that the marriage of divorced persons should be in the character of a civil contract entered into at the Registrar's office, but sanctioned by a religious ceremony, where a clergyman or dissenting minister could be found voluntarily to perform it. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL regretted the absence of Mr. Gladstone owing to the domestic affiiction re ferred to, who, be remarked, was one of the chief orna ments of their debates. (Hear.) The amendment was objectionable in many respects. It,would inflict great injury on the innocent husband or wife seeking to marry again, or an innocent person marrying the adulterer or adulteress, as the care might be. It would also have the. effect, if carried, of going far to confirm the principle that marriage was indissoluble. The amendment, - 1 carried, would only make the marriage valid on being solemnised in a particular form, which would be a great hardship on the parties, especially if they were Dissen ters, and clergymen or Dissent ing ministers were willing perform the marriage r ereinooy. A woman marrying unknowingly, a divorced man by the form of the Cburcb of England, would by the amendment be put in the posi tion of a concubine, arid the children would be illegitima' e Ile eugge•ted that the committee should not decide the question on this amendment, but first consider whether divorced persons should have power to marry again, and on that beieg decided ie the affirmative, thin consider whether the, clergy of the Church of England should or should not be exempted from eolemnising such marriages when they were reluctant to do so. He asked the right honourable baronet to withdraw his amendment. Mr. B. HOPE supported the amendment. 11,000 clergymen of the Church of England had petitioned against the clause, and he thought some deference should be paid to their feelings. Mr. NEWDEGATE considered that nothing could justify the bill in its present form, and urged the com mittee to adopt the amendment. He called upon the committee to.give due infieence to religi in as a correc tive to the dangerous tendency to the bill. Mr. D. GItIFFI HIS said that he had intended to move an amendment prohibiting the guilty party from being married by the forms of the Church of England, but considering the arguments of the Attorney-General unanswerable against the amendment he should oppose it. Lord J. MANNERS enforced in a lengthened speech, `the duty of the committee to respect the conscientious scruples of the clergy, as well as numbers of the laity, on the compulsory marriage of the guilty parties. Mr. ADAMS expressed a hop e the amendment would be withdrawn. He cor-jeered it was essential that a religious sanction should be observed in the so lemnisation of marriage—a hether of members of the Church of England or of Dissenters. ([Tear, hear.) He also objected to the aisieudtrient because it set a brand on innocent parties, as being unworthy to partake of the religious ceremony of marriage. He thought liberty of C:)llAienCe shout .1 be given to the clergy in this respect. and where clergymen were wilting they should be permitted to perform the marriage ceremony on either of the divorced parties wishing again t.) contract marriage. Lei(' LOVAINE would vets for the amendment if it was pressed to a division, though he thought it would inflict great hard , hip on the innocent divorced persons. Mr. BRISCOE hoped there n uld be no division on the clause, because it was undesirable either party should c'aim a triumph on this imperta,t point. He considered the conscientious scruples of the clergy should be re• spected, and he would rather that the suggestion of the Attorney General should be adopted. [LEFT SITTING ] RAILWAY MEETINGS—(This Day.) LONDON AND BLACK WALL. The halt-yearly meeting of the Blackwall Railway Company has just been held. The report stated that the sum available, was 151. 14s. 6d., from which the directors proposed a dividend of 2e. 9d. per share. The report was adopted. THL INDIAA MUTINIES. The following are selected from private letters received from India : BENARES, JUNE 13. The last two mails must have conveyed to you the intelligence of the mutiny and butchery at Meerut and Delhi. Since then, from Peshawur to Be mires there is not oue station in which the na tive troops have not Lroken out, and the whole country is in one state of confusion. The z:enin dars, too, hive taken advantage of the times and have risen, and are plundering and looting in all directions. All postal communication has been cut off, and the telegraph has ceased to work. We have had n r communication wit's Agra for the past fortnight, and no intelligence can now be had with All-dialed even. With the rest our time has come. We have been expecting the outbreak bete for the past three weeks. It came on the 4th. We got an express from A zirugher to say that the 17th Native Infantry had mutinied and plundered the Treasury, Rifling every European ; but this was subsequently leo lifted. Oe hearing this I knew cur time was up, but as I hoped to have 12 hours' st let befire the info relation got out I went and engaged two garrees, one for Harriet and the other for Mrs. Captain Dudgs , n, to sen 1 them off at once. While these garrecs were coming I went off to the judge to t xplain why I sent Harriet away, to guard against future remarks, and to offer myself for any service that might be ne ded for work so near at hand. I then went to the commissioner, to offer a seat in the garree to any female member of his family. It was accepted for a sister-in law. After di-patching the ladies I was to go and reside with Tucker and his family. I had ha• dly re turne I home 10 minutes, when bang, bang Went the cannon—knew all was up. Saw crowds run ning for the life. Had my buggy at the door ; bundled Harriet and our little bey, two guns, a re volver, and a pistol and sword into it, and drove to Mr. Tucker's, the commissioner's. Ho had never fired a shot in his life, and had not a weapon of any kind in the house, which I knew ; but al his house was a pukka* one, and capable of defence, I drove there instead of to tar- Mint, which was the rendez vous. In the house there were Mr. Tucker, Miss Tucker, four little children, and a sister-in-lawof Mr. Tucker, with my guns only. Got them to the ter race of the house and covered them up with straw, and made every preparation we could. In came Captain Watson with two ladies, but without any weapon. All this time the cannon were banging away and a rattle of musketry going on, and the whole of the Sepoy lines wore on fire. The rascally Sepoys were flying in squads past the house, with terror depicted in their faces, and very many of them had thrown away their muskets, accoutre ments, &c , and were c utting like fun. ,eing this, and fearing that they might make an attempt at the house after the firing had ceased, I determined to go off to the bridge near my house and try and make a stand there, so as to stop the Sepoys flying any more to our side. Got upon Mr. Tucker's horse and galloped off, followed by Mr. Tucker, having left Captain Watson in charge of the ladies with my battery of guns. Immediately we came to the bridge the Sepoys, instead of coming our way, made a rush down the sides of the bridge leading to the banks of the Burna. There were at the time 50 sowara of the 13th Irregulars stationed opposite my gate. We begged of 25 of them to follow to cut off these vagabonds, but net a man would stir on the plea that it was the collector's hookum (order) not to budge from the Treasury, which was held by 100 Sikhs. The array, however, helped us to frghteu the Sepoys. The runaways decreasing in numl•er, I swept over the bridge to find out how things were going on at the Mint, where Mrs. Dodgson was, and who had been placed under my care. Mr. Tucker led this time. " Ping" went a bullet at him, but missed. I had three shots with my revolver on the bridge, but just as I came to the narrow part, just three or four yards before me, I saw one of these rascally runaways ramming home a cartridge. Bang went the musket at me ; but 'twas a bad shot, for instead of hitting me he slightly wounded the horse. Away we flew, but midway we came upon 50 sowers of the Irregulars. One fellow came with a pistol cocked at me, and s lid that they had no officers and no commands, and what were they to do ? I asked them (20) to fol low me, but the fellows hesitated, and Mr. Tucker advised me not to trust myself to them. We left them and went to the Meat, and met 51 European soldiers, and sent them off to protect the other ladies. We had hardly been gone 15 minutes when these 50 sowers bolted, after firing a volley into the Europeans we had just left. Gallopped bank as fast as we could to our dear ones. Toe firing bad by this time ceased, and thinking the worst was over, I put off my sword, &c., and ordered dinner. Hardly had a dish reached the table when bang, bang went the guns again—this time at the Sikhs, who bad joined the 37th. The same scene of flying Sepoys ; for you must know we had two 4-pounders pounding the rascals with grape, which they could not stand. Shortly after, in came Colonel Gordon with 30 European soldiers, and carried us off to the Mint. It was a fearful time, and enough to sober one for life ; such a scene met us at the Mint, which was choked with refugees, Every one had some one to inquire for, but no one could say where any one was. It was a long and anxious night. With dawn more. courage was plucked up. The panic among the mutineers, however, had been so great that not a man could be beard of, and even the thieves and budmashes had mizzled ; for, not withstanding every bungalow bad been left to take care of itself, not a pin had been stolen, or even a thatch burnt. Every refugee was busy in remov ing valuables, and all got something. Our treasury was safe. The treasure was removedby 12 o'clock at noon to the Artillery Barracks, but not a man budged out for the next 24 hours ; yet the fear and funk bad been so wholesome that all our property remained untouched. On Saturday, seeing all quiet, we determined to spend the day at home, but all of us returned to the Mint at night. How long these things are to last God knows. I see no chance of any amendment, but must hold on till more Eu ropean soldiers come in, and the weather less hot -100 deg. indoors. We had long known that the 37th were mutinous, but were waiting for more soldiers to disarm them. Tie mutiny at Azimghur, however, precipitated matters. On the news reaching us, a parade was ordered for the evening. The hour came ; the fel lows smelt a rat. Instead. of obeying orders, they (the 37th N. I.) began popping at the soldiers. The Btitishers went at them. The blackies retreated into their lines, and from that shelter kept up firing. The 4-pounders were then brought to play, and gaped them. The lines were th n set fire to to drive them out, which was done. All this time the Sikhs stood spectators, drawn up in open pa rade. They then wavered, first attempted to mar der their commandant, Col. Gordon, who was saved by one of his own men, who received the ball in his arm, and was immediately removed to the Mint. The Sikhs then sent a volley at the gun ners, who wheeled their guns round and hammered them with grape ; they were mowed down like rotten carrots, and bolted like the 37th. Mean while Captain Guise, in command of the 13th Irre gulars, called upon his troopers to charge, and went off at a gallop. Not a man stirred. Capt. Guise was shot by the 37th, and it is said had his head split open afterwards by some of his own troopers. Two other officers of the 37th, youngsters of only 16 and 18, were desperately wounded ; one given up since. A third was wounded severely. Ten or 12 rank and file were killed and wounded, of whom we have buried three. It was a providential thing that we took the in itiative, for otherwise they would have risen at night, as afterwards discovered, and perhaps very few of us would have been alive to tell the tale. God has indeed been gracious to us, and by visible signs shown His presence and protection to us. It is said the whole thing was precipitated, but if so it only shows that it was not man's judgment or foresight which saved us. Since our mutiny the Sikhs at Jaunpore muti nied, and deliberately shot their commanding offi cer. Only five minutes before they were shaking hands with the European residents and swearing to defend them with their lives. The residents were congregated at the collector's office. Beside,CEtZ page, the joint magistrate, was naurd leartter wore Thresplaud and. his wife.

They tiered n early every were at mess. The house was surrounded and every one of them butchered. Every other man, woman, and child out of the fort have been most cruelly butchered. The fort is besieged, the bridge of boats broken up, and. every boat burnt or sent out of the way. (Since contradicted.) We have sent detachments to the fort. They have got in and will hold it now. The last detach ment of 50 were nearly murdered. They were attacked by more than 1,000 • fortunately, a steamer was present, and ferried them into the fort, but to do this she was obliged to leave her flat behind. During her absence the flat was boarded by 200 miscreants. The passengers took * Pukka means solid masonry—Nick built, and atone loofocl. to flight in the jolly-boats, and were picked up the next morning by the steamer. My last letter, received from Lucknow, was dated the 3d of June. The whole of the naive troops there had mutinied and had been joined by the cavalry. The whole country has risen as one man. The residency is besieged. The besieged • are hopeful, and expect to hold out till reinforce ments arriv,t. They have been suffering for many . months. Her Majesty's 32d are there, and Sir H. Lawrence best man in India they could have for the emergency. But yet the numbers are few, and a hostile and fanatic people are to be dreaded. G d grant that they may hold out—othi rwise fear ful will be the butchery. They have nigh upon 200 ladies in the re4dency. Cawnpore is in a most ticklish state. They, have bet 500 European, if F 0 mtny, with Some,tartil lery. They have intrenched themselves. S& long as the telegraphic communication was open the most urgent and repeated calls for reinforcements were being made. We had not any to give. We supplied 100 by denuding ourselves. At the out break 1 ere we had hardly 1.50 men on the parade-ground. Since then more have been arriv ing, which we have sent on to Allahabad. A steamer with 350 it ( xpectei to day or to-morrow, but it goes up straight to Allahabad, which will shorty be st irked with 1,000 men. Agra had ti ree native regiments and one Euro pean. A Fortion of the Sepoys were sent to Mut.. tra to guard the trt agure. These rascals sent for another company from Agra and then "looted" the Treasury. Seeing this the remaining portion of the Sepoys at Agra were disarmed, but what matter I their comrades have got the plunder for them. Since then all communication with Agra has been cut off. The Ghoorkas at Simla have quietly taken pos session of the station and the treasury ; ditto Kus sowlee. All the ladies made a clean bolt to Dughshai, poor and have taken sh I.er in the barracks. The troops have all moved down to Delhi. Some of them ran down khuds*, and after 20 hours' continual march, re tched Dughshai. Others, on fo ,t and in every conceivable way, made their way to the same place with only what they had on their backs. Here we are hanging every day and the gibbet is in full work. We must deciminate the half of the population before we can get our prestige back. Next year will be a year of famine, I anticipate. Plague and pestilence follow. Every one, from the ryot to the zemindar, is plaudring and mur dering, and if this state of things last where will be the harvest ? I am afraid that from scarcity this .city will be bard to hold. The roads are all closed and there is no income of grain. Taking our own division only, Jaunpore, Azimghur, and Gonutipora are empty and burnt to the ground, but one official place ; Allahabad is a heap of ruins, and not one village but is out on a marauding expedition." The following letter is from the wife of Lieuten ant C. Tucker, late of the 15th Irregular Cavalry. This gallant young officer was the only one belong ing to the 15th Irregular Cavalry whose l•fe was spared. The last accounts brought the tidings that he was safe at Benares, restored to his wife and child, but suffering from fever, consequent upon the perils which for 17 days he had under gone : " Benares, June 27. " I will tell you all about Charlie as it happened, as I know you will like to hear every particular. On the evening of the day I sent off your letters (my birthday, the 14th) one of the coolies I had sent with a letter to Sultanpore, returnel with if, and one of our grooms with him, saying that on the 9th the troops at Sultanpore had mutinied, that Colonel Fisher, Captain Gibbings, and others had Wen killed, but that Charlie had escapel ; but the groom did not know where he had gone. You can fancy what a terrible state I was in. Mr. H. Tucker directly sent out in the Sultanpore direction, offering 1001. to who ever would bring him in. However, we could hear nothing of him till the following Wednesday evening, wuen a man brought in a letter from him, saying that he and others were safe under the pro teeti.m of a native gentleman about 14 miles from. Sultanpore. A large party of natives, with ele phants, were sent out next day to bring them in here. They arrived safely yesterday morning. It was at first proposed to send Englieh gentlemen and soldiers for them, and Charlie's brother in tended going too ; but it was thought that Euro peans would have attracted too much attention, and alit the people in Oude would rise and cut them off, which most probably would have been the case had they gone, so all the most trustworthy natives were selected instead. " I will now give you Charlie's own account of his escape. On the Sunday before the mutiny at Sultanpore (which was on the Tuesday morning) Charlie went out some distance to meet the wing of his regiment which he commanded at Seetapore, and which was inclined to mutiny, to see if he could pacify the men ; and he apparently did so, awl brought them, with the second in command, into Sultanpore on the Monday night late. About 8 o'clock on the Tuesday morning poor Col. Fisher, while out, was shot through the body by the native police. Charlie directly went to him, and, after much trouble, persuaded some of the men to get him into a dooly. lie said he was dying ; but Charlie took out the ball, and gave him some water. He then tried to persuade the reoinient to come near their Colonel, but no one would obey any order. They were all under some trees near our house. A party of them then made a rush at Captain Gibbing', who was on horseback at a little distance, and kilkd him ; and then the men shouted. to Charlie to go away. " He found it was all over thfn, and so rode off. Three men rode after him about a mile, and then returned. He thinks thcy must have wished to spare him, as they could ea'ily have done anything they liked ; but he was, I believe, a great favourite with the wing he commanded at Seetapore. "He role some distance, and then got into a jungle, where he stayed a groat part of the day ; but he had first gone into a village, with one of his grooms who had got his mare, and who said ho Would take care of him, but Charlie found out that he meant to b:tray him ; so he rode off. " Only fancy how dreadful it was for him to be wandering about in the heat of the clay, not know ing where to go ; and getting people to give him water to drink at wells, and at last drinking it out of little streams, he was so terribly thirsty. At last, about four o'clock in the afternoon, he asked a man. whom he saw for seine water, and also if he cauli protect him, for he and his horse were both getting knocked up. The man said he would, and took him into his village and afterwards to his master, who lived iu a native fort, and who was the prin cipal person in the place ; and there Charlie stayed until the party from here went to fetch him. His escape was most provident , al, for he did not know the people about there. Son' after he had reached the native's house four others from Sultanpore ar rived ; but one of them knew the way to the per son who took Charlie in. He must be a noble hearted native, for when we took Oude it half ruined him. He is to have quantities of presents from Charlie, St. George, Henry, and I believe from Government. " The ladies from Sultanpore all escaped. Only four people were killed there—namely, Colonel Fisher, Captain Gibhiugs, Mr. Block, and Mr. Stro gan ; the latter was one of those who were married when we were there. lam very sorry for his wife. Mr. Block was the only other married man of the four. All the houses in Sultanpore were burnt by the mutineers. They stole two or three boxes out of our house first, the groom sai 1, and het en burnt it, so we have lo st everything, exctenpetee of thewarlisgladies, I e haanpd ayno m freonrseeds,t to which had with tmakeenhearwe and the Arab that was boughttr originta and the horse that Charlie w . a . s rirldrufgor, wmheichwhenan other I we first came to the %Dr il y. - g . rieved, but now that when so many have been shouldchsrlie ihissavebe dered, I can only feel most thankful to the Pro mur e been n sp a d red p videncee thate times has w atched over him and all of us in these trribl." * IChnds are deep hollows, the boti.oms of precipitou mountain slopes. PROFESSOR ANDERSON AT THE LICEUN.—Last night the " Wiz ird of the North" once more appeared on the rcene of his farmer triumphs—the Lyceum Theatre. " Magic and Mystery" have not lost any of their attrac tions, for the how() was crowded. The stage was very handsomely fitted up, representing a magnificent saloon, wherein was displayed the glittering apparatus employed by the " wizard" in his various conjuratio ns.

The report proper appeared at length in the Sun of the Slat of July. As regards the proceedings of the commission, it appears that on the 12th of March a resolution was proposed to the a fleet that the evidence thitherto ad duced, collectively considered, did not lead to any deci sive conclusion agai .a; placing the new National Gallery %Thin the metropolis ; on which Mr. Faraday moved an amendment admitting this fact, but pointing to the advantage to be obtained by "the removal of the gallery to a clearer and more airy site ;" wh i c h ame ndment was negatived by 3 to 2, Mr. Richmond voting with Mr. Fa aday. The original resolution was afterwards adop- Ld. At the meeting of the 7th of May a letter was read trim Mr. Justice Coleridge, advocating the claims of the existing site in Trafalgar-square on the ground of its general accessibility. On the 21st of May Professor Faraday moved two resclutiens—first, "that in respect of the future plan of the National Gallery, the three leading considered:n:B which should govern the choice of a site are clear spece fur a building of magnitude sufficient to provide fur the prospective increase of the collection, accessibility to the public, and the preservation of the pictures ; and, secondly, that in the opinion of the commissioners, the first consi deration is essential iu any case, that the second and third, although of extreme importance, are highly anta• gonistic, inasmuch as the removal of the pictures to a clearer but distant place takes away that accessibility which the present site, although, no doubt, with a great amount cif wear and tear, provides." On these two resolutions the commissioners divided, affirming the first by 4 to 1, and the second by 3 to 2. • Mr. Richmond then proposed that after a resolution adopted on the 27th of April (" that it is not ex pedi nt to break up or remove the British Muieum"), another resolution be added, to the effect that the future combination of sculpture with painting should be provided for in the new National Gallery, " a priatary use of which should be to preserve examples of the art of past ages in all its branches in the order best .afapted to exhibit their beauty and to illustrate their sequence and character." . This re solution was negatived by three to two. It was also unanimously agreed that the choice of sites lay between the site of the present gallery (if sufficiently enlarged) and the estate at Kensiugtongore. The result was that the chairrean (Lord Broughton), the Dean of St. Paul's, and Mr. Cockerell vet:el for the present site, and that Mr. Richinoud (alone) voted for the Kensington-gore. Professor Faraday declined to vote at all, his mind being equally balanced between the two sites. The eviderme which has been taken before the commission is very voluinitions. The witnesses examined were Sir C. Eastlake, P.R.A., Mr. 11. Ferrer, Mr. J. Nieuwerhhys, Mr. J Beentley, Mr. Knight„ R A., Mr. Cooke, A.R.A , Mr. Perris, Mr. Mulready, Mr. J. M. Smith, Mr. Denning, Mr. Smart, Mr. A. Panizzi, Mr. E. Hawkins, Mr. W. A. Carpenter, Mr. 01 ifield, Mr. Sydney Swirke, R.A., Mr. J. Bell, Sir C. Barry, Mr. Westataeott, ILA , Baron Marochetti, Mr. J. Ruskin, Mr. Aurlstone, Mr. J. Fergusson, the Chancellor of the Exchequer (Sir G. C . Lewis ) , Mr. E. A. Bowring, Mr. Doyle, Mr. A. J. B. B. Hope, M.P., Sir E. Landseer, R.A., M. J. F. Lewis, Mr. H. War ren, Mr. Donaldson, and Mr, Digby Wyatt. The evi dence is exceedingly interesting and strikingly sugges tive. THE POISONINGS AT lIONG - KONG.-Mr. Tarrant, of Hong-Kong, has revived the subject of the poisonings by bringing an action against Alum for selling unwhGle some brew t. The attorne3 - general, abandoning all sug gestion of guilty knowledge in the defendant, rested his case upon the common law obligation cast upon a baker to sell only ['read fit for the food of man. The presence of arsenic was fully proved, and the Jury returned a ver dict for 1010 dollars. The point of law is of course reserved.

COMMITTAL OF TWO POLISH JEWS FOR INCENDIARISM —At the Newcastle Pol.ce Court on Friday two Polish Jews, Lavine Leipschitz, and Selig Leipschi'z, his son, were charged with setting fire to their premises, 75, High Buckingham-street, with intent to defraud the Phcen'x Fire-office. The prisoners had carried on a entail business as pawnbrokers, and it is stated that the ,ilass of goods they received was so poor that the premises could not have held 100/. worth. The policy they held was 301. for the fixtures, 1001. fur the furniture, and 6701. for the stock. On the 19th of July the premises were discovered to be on fire, emit ting a suffocating vapour unlike that of an ordinary fire. Neither of the prisoners helped to extinguish the flames. The fire war, however, got under, and the premises were locked up by the police, who found in the shop a feather and a child's garment both saturated with naptha. A few weeks before the eider prisoner had gone to London and purchased several quarts of naphtha "for a secret purpose," as he told a friend. The prisoners had made application to insure the stock for more than 1,000/ , but had not been able to do so. They were committed for trial.
