A. MAN OF TaIISINESS. —A. public meeting was held at Cape To mn on the 2d of April, to devise means for the relief of the distressed passengers wbo bad escapad from the ship Joseph Somes. A very liberal spirit was shown, and a large sum was subscribed. The secretary of the Commercial Exchange, Mr. Eaton, announced that hav ing found from experience that there was no time like the present, ." he bad brought down with him cheque _ _ books of ell the backs. He knew what it was to collect subscriptions." It has been stated that Admiral Virgin had been sud denly dismissed by the Swedish Government from the post of its Minister Plenipotentiary at Copenhapn. A letter from Hamburg of the 221 tap that this step has been taken in consequence of his riot having possessed sufficient influence to prevent M. de Scheele, the Danish Minister, from sending to France, England, Sweden, and Russia his anti-Scandinavian note of Feb. 18, which has deeply offended the Swedish Cabinet ; or, at least, for not having taken care to inform his Govern ment that M. de Scheele was so exceedingly hostile to Scandinavian ideas. THE ROYAL NAVAL SCHOOL, NEW-CROSS.—The annual meeting of this Corporation was held yesterday at the United Service Institutiar, Whitehall. It was numerously attended, Admiral Bowles, C. 8., presiding . , supported by Admirals Sir Charles Ogle, Sir W. 0. Pen, Sir G. Back, W. A. B. Hamilton, and 11. Mey nett ; Captains Burton, Barnett, Currie, Gostling Liardet, M'Hardy, Whist', and Oldmixon ; Colonel Congdon, R.M., the Rev. B. Kitson (Greenwich Hospi tal), Mr. Ferdinand Brand, and several others. The preliminary business having been disposed of. the secre tary read the annual report, which stated that, although the school had within the last two years been twice extended, it has now its full complement of 270 pupils (of whom 54 are the sons of civilians) ; that the funded property now exceeds 10,0001., of v.e:ch 1711. had been added since the last report; that the late Sir B. F. Outram and Captain W. Langhorne, R.N., had each bequeathed legacies of 1001. ; that the con tingent legacy of the late Mr. Malcolm, surgeon, R.N., of 1,0001. to found a university scholarship, bad now come into the possession of the school; that the former pupils continued to distinguish themselves, among whom Mr. J. C. Dawkins had obtained a foundation scholar ship at Durham University, Mr. W. M. Brycic.rne had been appointed engineer-in -chief of the Great Northern Railway, and Captain E. M. Boxer, R.A., had been recommended by Government for a grant of 5,000/. for his inventions and improvements of fuses and shells ; several have been decorated with the Order of the Legion of Honour, and Lieutenant Dowell, R.M.A., has received the Victoria Cross for distinguished gal lentry during the late war ; that Mr. M. C. Wilkinson, of Bombay, and Captain Kent, 77th Regiment, had pro jected a subscription for a monument to the memory of their schoolfellows who fell in the Russian war, and their appeal had been warmly responded to. The construction of the basin of the swimming-bath will at once be proceeded with, so as to provide the boys with a sum mer bath after the Midsummer holydays ; the comple tion of the original design, which includes an iron and glass roof, dressing-boxes, and warming apparatus, being deferred until further subscriptions shall justify the same. The study of the German language had now been included in the general system of education, and in conclusion the council strongly appealed for an increased number of annual subscribers in order to maintain the establishment in its present efficient state. The report was adopted. The 52d bye-law was altered so as to admit of those pupils who proceed to the universities remaining in the school until the age of 19, instead of 18, as heretofore ; and the meeting having elected direc. tors and auditors, after a vote of thanks to the chairman and council for their able management of the institution, then adjourned. MADAME TUSSAUD'S EXHIBITION. — SeveraI portrait models of distinguished military officers have lately been added to this collection, and among them the portrait of his Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief. His Royal Highness is represented in the uniform of a General, decorated with numerous military orders. This figure is a most excellent likeness of the gallant Prince, and re flects great credit on the artists employed in its con struction. A BLIND ANGLER,—A remarkable feat occurred on the Nith the other day, when a blind man played and landed a salmon, originally hooked by another person who was unequal to the task. The blind man threw his line, and hooked, played, and killed another salmon. Dumfries Standard. In publishing this feat, the editor of the Border Adver uiser gives the fullowing equally wonderful case : " Our contemporary seems to think this an unparalleled feat, but we are aware of a far more extraordinary blind fibber in our neighbourhood. Mr. W. Rankin, of St, Boswells, who has been stone blind for ten years, carries on the trade of linendraper and gene ral merchant—is a fishing tackle, fly, boot, and rod maker, and is an excellent fisher whether with fly, worm, or minnow. He is in the constant habit of going out to the Tweed on favourable fishing days, accom panied by his sagacious dog, which leads him to and from his favourite haunts. So well is he accustomed to the sport that he knows every stone and every cast in the wide reaches of the river within a mile east and west of St. Boswells, and is generally a very successful angler, lanciihg his fish (whether trout or salmon) without as in,tanee from any one evet, in the reeeieet %later. W e have frequently witnessed his exploits with equal in terest and wonder at the love of the pastime which is so strong as to overcome natural impediments that might in ordinary cases be deemed insurmountable.", THE FA L OF HOUSES IN TOTTENHAM- COURT-ROAD. Yesterday Mr. Brent, the Deputy Coroner, and the jury empannelled to inquire as to the deaths of the sufferers by the late falling down of houses in Tottenham-court-road, re-assembled for the fifth time at Lawson's-rooms, Gower-street. Thomas Miller examined—l reside in George street, HampStead•road, and am a carpenter. I was at work at the roof of the houses 148 and 149 on the morning of the accident. I was employed by Mr. Hunter. I was on the scaffold in front of the house 148, and I heard a crack. I said " Good God what is the matter ?" to a man who was with me on the scaffold and in an instant after the same man said, "Look ! hereare all the houses corning down !" I then ran away. I saw ihe stack of chimneys of the houses Nos. 146 give way first, and then the houses followed. I cannot account for the occurrence. Mr. John Maples examined.—l reside at Hamp stead, and am an upholsterer. The houses 145, 146, and -147, Tottenham-court-roa4 were its my occupation. About three weeks after Mr. Hunter commenced alterations on his premises I commenced them on my premises. Mr. Raggett was my sur veyor. He was recommended to me by Mr. Lock yer, the architect. Mr. Taylor, the builder, was engaged by Mr Raggett at my suggestion. He had done work for me before, and I had always found him a careful man. One of the works was to raise the flooring of the house No. 147 two feet, to make it level with the floor of 146. A new brestsummer was required to be put in at 147 to effect this ob ject. I had no communication with the district surveyor but once,- and he then said he thought the party-wall (alluding, to Mr. Huntet's party - wall) must come down. (alluding, " I hope not." There was an agreement between Mr. Hunter and myself as to the repairing of this party-wall. I never heard from Mr. Baker, the district surveyor, that be had condemned the party-wall, but there was a notice from the police, which I sent at once to Mr. Raggett. I placed myself in the hands of Mr. Raggett, my surveyor, and Mr. Taylor, the builder. Mr. George Parton Raggett, a surveyor, who was engaged by Mr. Maple to superintend the alterations, gave an explanation of them. He said, —I have been 27 years in the profession. I con sider the cause of the occurrence was the cutting away of the chimney breasts of the party-wall of the houses 147 and 148, and that the making the two holes in that wall on the morning of the accident. Mr. Joseph Taylor, ermined--I reside at 97, Upper Seymour-street, Euston•square. I am a builder. I was engaged to carrsr out certain altera tions at Mr. Maples's premises, under Mr. Rag gett, the surveyor. I saw Mr. Baker on the 231, and told him the character of the works. He ob jected to the removal of the chimney breasts. Nothing was done till the 27th, when the works were commenced, and one the 30th the new brest summer was put in and properly pinned. On May the 4th we struck the first shores, but before we did so iron ties were put up from the brestsummer to the joists, and into the garden. On the Thursday before the accident we had built up two piers from the basement to the ground-floor ready to receive the iron stancheons, and stone corbels were,also put into the wail. That, in my opinion, was quite suffli cient of itself to carry the superstructure, but I put two pieces of wood in addition, five feet before. I went all round the premises . on the morning of the accident, and saw all safe and right till I otiserved Barnes making a hole in Hunter's party-wall. I asked him what he was going to do, and he said to underpin it and put in new brick work to the first floor. I told him to be careful, as it was a very old wall. I saw Mr. Baker, the district surveyor, on Friday, and he told me to stop my men doing the match-boarding of Mr. Maple's house, No. 147, as he was determined on having that wall (alluding to Mr. Hunter's) taken down ; that they were to have a meeting this afternoon, and he would have it down. " You have had my consent," he said, to take your chimney breasts down, but they have taken their chimney breasts down without my con sent, and I will have it down." I had got about 165 feet distant from the houses, when they fell towards the New-road. The cornices fell over on to the pavement, and the fronts fell in. I was much amazed and alarmed, knowing my own son and 19 of my men were on the premises. I ran and informed Mr. Raggett, and then came back and mustered l 4 of my men. In my opinion, the cause of the accident was the weak state of Mr. Hunter's wall, rendered still weaker by cutting the holes for the underpinning. I ought to have had notice that such work was going to be done to Mr. Hunter's wall, which they did not give me. There being no other evidence, the inquiry was adjourned till Friday. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, MAY 26. There is no perceptible improvement in the de mand this morning, and, inasmuch as a demand short of the suppy is continually augmenting the stocks of goods on hand, the position of spinners and manufacturers is worse than it was last week. Sellers have not altered their quotations of cloth, but prices' are easier again, while in yarns there has been a general concession of d. per lb. This concesdon applies to both home and shipping yarn. Meantime the value of cotton has undergone no quotable change, though sales are difficult, and the position of spinners and manufacture's is one of anxiety and difficulty. The decline on cloths during the last four weeks is estimated by Messrs. George Pra§er, Son, and Co., as follows :—" ld. to lid. per piece on mada pollams ; ld. to 3d. per piece on 9-Bth printers ; 2d. to 41d. per piece on 9-Bth shirtings ; lid. per piece on some makes of India shirtings and on figured shirtings, jacconets, T-cloths, and long cloths, while domestics, 7-Bth printers, and some other goofs nominally remain at last month's prices." And they state "that there is a general tendency throughout the market to an increase of stocks." A large manufacturer and spinner at Bamber-bridge, near Preston, is reported to be in difficultied, with liabilities variously estimated at 40,0001. to 60,0001., and it is said that an assign ment has been or is about to be made. This failure has had a bad effect on the market, and will pro bably assist the movement for a limit of production by resorting to short time. Meetings have been held at Preston, as well as at Burnley, Bacup, and Stockport, without so satisfactory a result as the promoters of the measure could wish, and a general aggregate meeting is now holding in Manctrester, with the hope of reconciling difficulties, and leading to a mare general adoption of the proposal than it has hitherto met with. The difficulties in the way are no doubt many, but the ruinous position of the trade must sooner or later drive people into the movement who are at present unwilling to incur the responsibility. LEICESTER, MAY 26. The hosiery trade is flat both for home consump tion and for export, the demand for America being lets than usual. There is rather more activity in the cotton branch, which is increased by the pre sent genial weather. There is also a little more doing in the sock and hosiery branches. The hosi ery trade in the rural districts is very flat. Mate rial is still extremely dear. LEEDS, MAY 26. The cloth trade continues pretty satisfactory, considering circumstances. The halls were well at tendedithis morning, and a rather animated tone prevailed. There was a good deal of inquiry, par ticularly among heavy goods, and on the whole a moderate amount of cloth was disposed of. HUDDERSFIELD, MAY 26. The market, as far as the Cloth-hall is concerned, retains its quiet aspect. There are few buyers and few sales. Some inquiries have been made for Oxfords, and in fancies the trade is rather better. In the warehouses a little improvement is reported. Wool shows a tendency to advance in price. MARKET NEWS.— (This Day.) CORN EXCHANGE. To-day's market was very scantily supplied with all kinds of English wheat, and the demand ruled steady, at Monday's improvement in value. The general condition of the samples was tolerably good. Only 1,280 quarters of foreign wheat have come to hand this week. Good heavy qualities were steady, at full prices, but infirm parcels ruled dull. Floating cargoes of grain sold at full currencies. The few samples of barley in the market were cleared off at very full prices. There was only a limited inquiry for malt. In prices, however, no change took place. Oats were quite as dull as on Monday, and the demand for them ruled steady. Beans, peas, and flour sold at full quotations. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. 1,220. - 1,040 Oath.

REGISTRATION of TITLE.—The report of the commis. sioners appointed to consider the subject of the registra. tion of title with reference t 9 the gale and transfer of 1 aud, was issued yesterday. MR. COBDEN AND HIS DISCIPLES, The folkowing letter, from Mr. Cobden, appeared in a morning contemporary of yesterday you allow me m say that my letter to Mr. Lindsay, which appeared in your Saturday's paper, was penned without the slightest suspicion that it would meat the public eye ? Otherwise, al though the arguthents and facts would have been identically the same, I should have written in a different and more appropriate tone. But 1. am more especially anxious to offer this explanation, that I may do justice to my feelings towards the gentleman for whose eye alone my hasty and familiar observations on the China ques tie,n were intended. Entertaining, as I do, a sin cere respect and regard for Mr. Caird, at whose feet I sit as a pupil in my miniature practice of husban dry, and from whom I have received many personal kindneszes, he is the last man at whose expense I should have thought of parading my superior know ledge on questions . of commercial policy—a supe riority which, if it really exists, is attributable solely to his having applied his acute and original mind to the study of another and equally important branch of national enterprise. I am half inclined to rap the knuckles of my . friend Mr. Lindsay ; but when I remember his try ing dilemma, and how often I have myself been in the same woful plight, the ferule drops from my hand. He was addressing, for the fourth or fifth time, I believe, in the course of a couple of months, the same audience. Under such circumstances topics are apt to run dry and texts to be exhausted. What was to be done ? There was my letter in his pocket, which reached him that morning. Could it be any breach of confidence within those familiar walls, and in such a friendly meeting as he saw before him, to disclose its contents ? The letter was read ; and probably not until be saw every word of it blazoned to the world in the columns of the Times was he fully aware of all that he had done. I have encountered the same temptations scores of times, and succumbed more than once—how can I then refuse him absolution or doubt that our mu tual friend, Mr. Caird, will do likewise ?—I am, Sir, your obedient servant, Midhurat, May 23.

Like one of Dante's circles it has no medium in temperature, and is either as arid and dusty as Sahara or cold and cutting as the Arctic regions. So with the wind, which is always revel ling over the plain—it is either a hot, puffy blast, half heath half sand, or it blusters with a violence against which it is.almost useless contending. Yes terday all these atmospheric variations succeeded each other with a rapidity which was astonishing and uucomforiable to the last degree. A grand re view in honour of the Queen's birthday was antici pated by the public and, we believe, intended by the authorities; but the very unsettled state of the weather (which only settled at brief intervals into heavy rain) prevented the display so far as a sham fight was concerned. An unusual number of visi tors went down to the camp by the early trains, though the result hardly repaid their promptitude, for nothing took place till after two o'clock. All early comers, therefore, had ample opportunities afforded them of inspecting the beauties of the , camp, which, to do them mere justice, may he seen in the very briefest period. To a superficial ob server the whole bears as strong resemblance as ever to the black-looking sheds round the mouth of a coalpit, and the only ornamental feature on the whole plain is the neat little clubhouse, hedged in, as if taste was impounded for having strayed so far. Those familiar with the camp, espe cially with its last yeat's aspect, will, however, under its general mask of monotony notice many changes and some improvements. The whole ground both between and round the huts is scrupulously Olean, and the huts themselves have a tidy and even a comfortable air. The cavalry stables are great improvements ; inside they are lofty, spacious, dry, well drained and ventilated, paved with stone, and as clean as huts. Rich stable accommodates 70 horses, which stand in rows at both sides, so accustomed to one another's presence as even to have given up kicking. At intervals of every 20 feet or so doors are fixed in the side walls, in order to give free egress to all the horses instantly in case of any accident from fire. Outside the stables are surrounded with trim little gardens, which, though containing nothing beyond a few wild plants and stone devices, look tasteful, and augur well for the discipli n e an d good order of the camp. The visitor will observe with surprise that all these ranges of stables (than which it would be impossible under the circumstances to have better), are formed of rough planks, roof-d in with canvas —a means of shelter which, it will be recollected, was derided as utterly wor bless when :•ought to be applied to our cavalry in the Crimea. Some months' experience of these stables a , Aldershot, completely overtures all the hypoth, tical objections which were urged as reasons against their use in the East before the Chelsea B arrof Inquiry. In the Saudi Camp (beyond that wretched canal, compared with which Le he must have been a purl ing brook) radical changes have taken place. Where the eye last year only rested upon a dreary expanse of common, varied het e and there with a treache rous morass, a town of permanent barracks is fast springing into existence. Whole acres of stabling and streets of barracks' extend over an immense space. These edifices are distinguished by some few and most important improvements in birrack building, and are certainly the most complete and useful buildings of the kind that have ever been encted in this country. In this brief notice it is impossible to convey a proper idea of their extent and fitness, but we shall take occasion to refer to the subject again as the works advance towards completion. A little before two o'clock the troops in the camp were under arms, and, afier the usual parade in spection in front of their huts, upwards of 14,000 men of all arms began to move across the common towards the long valley. An immense concourse of spectators had by that time collected, and weze fast pouring in from the surrounding neighbour hood. For once the dust of Aldershot had been completely laid by heavy storms of rain which swept over the camp in the morning, and it was kept in subjection by drenching showers at short intervals throughout the remainder of the day. There were, however, moments when even the dust would have been a relief to the cold rain. As usual, the most picturesque feature of the day was while the mass of troops were en route to the long valley ; the dense sombre columns of the Rifles contrast ed finely with the bright hues of the Liue Regiments, Guards and Cavalry, while the long trains of Artillery on the flanks seemed like a massive frame to the bright picture in the centre. Nearly the whole of the troops now wear the uni forms contracted for by the Government, and not by the regimental colonels. The importance of hav ing superseded the latter gallant clothiers is mani fested in the altered appearance of the men. Their coats are of beautiful material, the privates wearing the cloth formerly only given to sergeants, while the sergeants have the same as the commissioned officers. Yesterday one or two men could be dis cerned still dressed in the old brick-cdloured baize, and having an indescribably dingy appearance among their well-clad comrades. All the infantry marched to the ground in open columns of corn panies—the cavalry and artillery in troops, and troops of batteries. With the exception of the usual Camp Guards from each corps there were out yes terday two companies of the Royal Engineers, three field batteries, two troops of Horse Artillery, the 15th and 7th Hussars ; two companies cf the Grenadier Guards ; Ist battalion of Coldstream Guards ; the Rifle Brigade, ht, 2d, and 3d batta lions ; the 22d, 54th, 66t o, 19th, 88th, 20th, and 97th Regiments, with some of the Ist battalion of the Military Train. The whole moved across the long valley; and formed for a short time in the slope of ti;e long hill in close column, looking at he distance as if lich pastures had suddenly sprung into bloom across the barren heath. When General Knollys came upon the ground the columns were deployed into a line two deep and nearly a mile and a half in length, tapering away into a distant streak of red which twinkled with the glitter of bayonets. In the centre of the huge semicircle a double line was formed by the Guirds, Cavalry, and Horse Artillery, with the field batteries, in front of all. The latter having fired the usual Royal salute, the Minies of tie whole force rose into the air as if by magic, and the feu de joie com menced, at first with a confused hoarse rattle, but gradually swelling into one tremendous roar which filled the air and seemed to make the very plain vibrate and throb beneath its thundering din. Three times was this imposing volley given, the echoes of one scarcely dying away ere another was commenced, the Royal salute of the day—the men's hearty cheers—winding up the whole. The latter were often renewed, coining from the extreme right of the line like the distant roar of the sea, and sometimes almost vieing with the noise of the musketry. _ _ _ The line then broke up, and the most interesting feature of the day—the marching past the General —began. The force passed the Staff in the follow ing order :—Troops of Royal Hone Artillery, the 7th and 15th Hussars, companies of Engineers, a field battery, the Guards, 22d R eg i men t, 3d Bat talion of Rifles, 54th and 6Gth Regiments, field battery, 20th and 97th Regiments, and 2d Bat talion of Rifles. The marching of the Guards was, as it always . is, faultless. Each company seemed one solid machine, firm as a wall, and not a man an inch beyond or behind Ys comrade. After these, the corps _ the most conspicuous for steady movement and perfect formation wore the 20 th and BSt The ranks of the latter were cruelly thinned in the late war, and, for the numbers engaged, probably more men of Ithis fine old regiment fell in action with the enemy than in any other corps. At Inkermann m ore th an half of those in action were killed or wounded, and. th e memory of their losses at both attacks on the Redan must be but too fresh in the minds of many of our readers to need recapitulation here. The, breaches then made in their ranks have been but ill repaired, and mere lads now represent tho rine. companies of picked soldiers which landed at h.a lamita. Nevertheless the marching of the regiment was remarked and admired yesterday. After all the infantry bad passed the cavalry and artillery again returned and passed the staff at a canter, and with this the day's proceedings terminated. It may save our readers some disappointment if we inform them that the field days are now no longer Tuesday and Friday. Retrenchment has penetrated the Camp, if reform has not, and powder burning is strictly limited to Wednesdays. They will also be glad to learn that a handsome and com modious station is being erected at Farnborough, which soon promises to be one of the most com fortable, as it undoubtedly is already one of the best managed, on the railway. -., We are not yet able to announce that the vacancy in the direction of the East India Company, caused by the retirement of Col. Oliphant, has been filled up. The choice is generally supposed to lie between Mr. Thomas, of the Madras Civil Service, and Sir Proby Cantley, of the Bengal Artillery. Col. Tucker, late adjutant-general of the Bengal Army, has been also named as a fit person rot a likely candidate; and the names of more than retired Indian chief justice have been cited in the course of the speculations which have been NO fertile .luring the past fortnight among people interested in In dian affairs. It appears, however, by no means impro• bable that Col. Lake will be appointed to the 'scant seat,—Smith, Elder, and c 0,4 Ovelonci Affia _ on tte nd ity aie eed the ;ter con- rgies shed now n of fined, to pre ours ates, and : 0 ncl ship, dera- case, lord• ieriod orts, cor- ins 'ow arti- 1.08:1 91 i 21a 10q, 50 25 12A 12 20 St. iii st. 11, 2112 14s 1113 161151 11.256 li 761
