LADY FRANKLIN'S FINAL SEARCH.- The Government having come to the con elusion that the fate of the crews of her Majesty's ships Erebus and Terror requires no further investigation on their r e t, ot Lahe dy lost Franklin, in accordance with her sense of what is navigators, is now fitting out an expedition at ger own cost. A in S a preliminary measureo sought assistance from the riralty by asking for the loan of the Arctic ship Reso tilte, which had been restored in perfect order to our Queen 0' the American nation, and also for the gift (as granted iu !,erformer private expeditions) of such stores from her Ma '/eBtY's dockyards as are available for this special service only. ' Compliance with these requests having been dzelined, Lady 4 •ltuklin is now devoting her whole fortune to this final t e arch ; and a large screw yacht (the Fox) lying at Aberdeen, " 4 a been purchased, which the distinguished Arctic officer Zno has accepted the command of her (Capt tin McClintock, ~,•N.) has pronounced to be perfectly adapted to this em mYment. F , ""lce t h IN repeating the arguments we formerly made use of to e Government to undertake a l final and exhaus ee Search, we hold to the opinion that it is the duty of 4 , B glistimen to examine th t limited area whence the traces 1 1 t, ` l our missing countrymen were derived, which, though es to the south of well-searched tracts, and has been ap iViache 1 by vessels that have returned without loss, has n ever yet been explored. 'uPp o whom she everyh reason to confide, Lady Franklin the this last effort to clear away the mystery that shniuds fr 18 fate of her husband and his crews, and possibly to reszue OM their insulated icy abode among the Esquimaux some of Younger companions, who may still be prolonging a dreary exi stence. On such an occasion we, whose names are hereunto sub scribed, feel confident that this our appeal will not remain ii l ender by the British people, who will, we doubt not, 'Oder to the widow of the illustrious navigator that sym pathy which his fame and her devotion must call firth, and /11 aid her in carrying out an enterprise involving, as we believe the honour of the nation. u ,We earnestly, therefore, entreat our countrymen to unite Wi th us in contributing to this noble object. ~,Itoderick I.

Naval and Military Intelligence. PORTSMOUTH, THURSDAY. The Princess Charlotte, 104, sail ng three-decker, Captain George St. Vincent King, has completed the receiving of stores for China, with the exception of about 50 tons, which she will take in at Soithead. Her draught of water now on an even keel is 23%. Gin., and provided the tide should be sufficiently high she will go out of harbour .to-morrow under canvas at 6.30 a.m. and anchor at Spirlead. The Princess Charlotte has been fitted with Clifford's patent b .at lowering apparatus, as well as Hastings, Melville, and Cumberland.' Captain Hudson, with Commander Fenwick, of the United States frigate Niagara, paid a visit to the Princess Charlotte to-day, and a , terwardid went on board the ordinary guard ship St Vincent, 104, Captain George A. Eliott. These were official visits prior to the departure of the Niagara, which sails from this port for Liverpool on Saturday next. - The Sprightly, tender, Master Commander George Allen, went fo Spithead to-day, with stores, &c., for the Cumberland, 70, Captain Dickson (flag of Rear Admiral Prevo Wali-). She sails on Saturday. A serious accident happened to a naval cadet, named Rawsbn, last evening, on board the Princess Charlotte. The youth slipped off the combings of the main hatch way, and fell to the bottom of the hold, a depth of 30 feet ; he was picked up insensible, and with a fearfully bruised face and right arm, but fortunately no bones broken ; he was attended by the medical officers of the ship and is doing well. kr. Cl:ff submitted his model of boat-lowering apparatus to-day, to Captain Hads.in, of the United States frigwe Niagara, and his officers, all of whom ex pressed their high satisfaction at the simplicity and efficiency of the invention. • WOOLWICH; JUNE 18 The Agamemnon, 90, now at East Greenwich, is to be fitted up with gas, in order that no time may be lost in shipping the portion of the Atlantic electric telegraph. manufactured at the works of Messrs. Glass and Elliott. A party of engineers from the dockyard proceeded to East Greenwich this day for the purpose of laying down the pipes, &o, for lighting the vessel. At the commencement of the late war a quantity of machinery, manufactured for the Russian Government, was seized at certain works on the Clyde, the Urgent was subsequeytly fitted with this machinery. During a voyage to Barbadoes the Urgent broke down, and her machinery has since been condemned as useless. The Challenger, screw corvette, is now sufficiently for Jvard to receive a portion of her machinery, and a party of workmen from the factory of the manufacturerr aro now preparing her to receive her screw propeller. The whole of her machinery is from the works of Messrs. John Penn and Sons, Greenwich. The second party of emigrants which have been selected by the Woolwich committee for promoting the emigration of discharged Government workmen, left by railway for Liverpool this day, and will immediately embark for Quebec, and thence proceed to Toronto. The party consisted of 240 men, women, and children, and the whole were provided with an excellent outfit. CHATHAM, June 18.—A considerable amount of dis satisfaction was this morning occasioned among the troops recently returned from India, who have received their discharge from the 'service, occasioned by the money , which the men had been iuduced to deposit in the regi mental savings banks in India not having been handed over to them on receiving their discharge. The troops were informed in Indiathat the money would be remitted to them so as to allow them to receive it on obtaining their discharge, some of the men having as much as 1001. in the bank, but from some calm the money has not been forthcoming. We understand an investigation into the cause wi I be made by the authorities.

Es , abllshed May, 1844. Empowered by Special Act of Parliament. THIS Company was Established in 1844, for the rurpose of opening to the pm' lie an easy and unquestion ably safe mode of Investment, with a high and uniform rate of Inte rest. The plan of the Bank of Deposit differs entirely from that of ordi nary Banks in the mole of emnloying capital—money deposited with this Company being principally lent upon well secured Life Interests, Reversions in the Government l'unds, or other property of amnle value. This class of securities, although not immediately convertinle, it is well known yields the greatest amount of profit, combined with the most perfeet safety. Further, Loans made by -the Company are collaterally secured by a Policy of Assurance on the life of the Borrower, or his nominee, effected at a rate of pre mium which secures the validity of the Policy agaimst every pos sible con•I ngenc v. . . . . Thus depositors are effectually protected against the possibility of loss, whilst the large and constantly IncreaPing revenue arising From the premiums on Assurances thus effected yields ample profit to the Company, and provides for all the expenses of management. DEPO:3Ii Acconms may be opened with sums of any amount, and increased fr un time to time, at the convenience of depositr , rs• A receipt, signed by two Directors, is given for each sum de posited. RATE AND PAYMENT OF INTEREST. The rate of Interest since the establishment of the Company has never been less than five p r cent. per annum ; and it is confidently anticipated that the same careful an i judicious selection from secu rities of the descr;ption above mentioned will enable the Board of Management to continue this rate to depositors. The Interest is payable in January and July. on the amount stand ing in the name rf the depositor on the 30th of June and 3 at of December, and for the convenience of pa•ties residing at a distance may be received at the Branch Offices, or remitted through Country Bankers.

Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their phys:c - 1 c ndition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. It is' bsolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated with out incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret suc ceed theheyday of incomiderate self-indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and Its consequences maybelavoided, and, above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

( From the Toronto Times. ) About half-past three o'clock yesterday afternoon, the city was alarmed by the loud report of an explosion on the bay, and the intelligence that the boiler of the steamer Inkerman bad exploded, and that many lives were lost.- Proceeding to the scene of the disaster, we found-the ill fated craft lying about 100 yards from the end of Upton and Brown's wharf, sunk to her guards, with the whole After -part blown away, and the forward portions wrecked and broken in a most extraordinary manner. The engine and boiler were gone, the smoke pipe lay among the wreck, the foremast wheelhouse, and the forward promenade deck alone remained of all the upper-work, and the plankingof the' bows was torn away from the stem. A great iron cable, which formed a portion of the cargo, had been blown high into the air, and in falling had caught on the fore-topmast, and hung there a monument of the force of the explosion. The Inkrman had been discharging her cargo of °eta at Upton and Brown's wharf during the day, and having some freight on board for St. Catherine's, steam was got up, and all was made ready for departure for that place early in the afternoon. From some cause or other a delay took Place in starting, and it was observed by more than one byestander on the wharf that she had been " blowing off" for half-an-hour, and that the steam was par ticularly dry, indicating a want of water in the boiler. On first starting the engine was backed, a motion which does not work the pumps, but when it began to go forward it is supposed that the pumps threw in a quantity of water, welch falling on the over heated boiler, caused an i stantaneoas explosion. This is the general opinion of the cause of the accident among steam-boat men, but it is only fair to add, that the engi-. neers who are saved deny that there was any want of water... , It will remain for the coroner's jury to give a decision upon the point. The shock was tremendous, having the effect of an earth quake on the firmest buildings on the shore. The people on the wharf saw a column rising from the ill-fated boat, which broke and fell in scattered fragments over the sur rounding waters. Many of the crew were thrown into the air, and yet, wonderful to say, escaped almost uninjured. The steward of the boat, Bryan O'Donnell, was lying read ing iu his birth, and knew nothing till he found himself struggling in the water. The captain (M'Broom) was standing on the promenade deck, and was thrown six or seven feet into the air; in falling his foot struck a projec tion, and his leg was broken above the ancie Boats from various vessels lying near and from Mr. Cotton's dredge were immediately in motion, and every exertion was made to rescue the unfortunate crew. Those who were floating were picked up, and the wreck was partly cleared, in order to ascertain whether any remained under the debris. Two dead bodies were picked up and conveyed to Bursts wharf, and afterwards the remains of Mr. Charles Honeyman, the purser, a fine young man, were deposited there, he havi ng di e d on hi s hi s wa y to the hospital. Later in the day the miserable mangled remains of an unfortunate, with his head entirely blown off, were discovered in the wreck, and conveyed to Upton and Brown's. The two wheelstnen were saved, and all the crew who were employed on the forward part of the vessel, There were two women on board, one the cook and the other a paszenger, a sister of one of the firemen. They were picked np from the water and brought on shore by a boat from the ship Citizen, of Erie, Captain Gleason, and it being considered dangerous to carry them far, they were accommodated in one of the buil lings on Borst's wharf, where Drs. Bovell, Cotter, and Aruoldi immediately at tended them. Catherine Ann M'Crie, of Beauhatnois, the cook, was found to be scalded over her whole body, and to have her leg broken, while the other, Elizabeth M'Gill, had stiffened much mor e f rom the s hock and from the length of time she remained in the water. Neither is ex pected to recover. The following is a list of the crew as taken from the pay list of the vessel, with the fate of each, so far as it has been ascertained:— 1. Captain William M'Broom—leg broken, but likely to do•well. At Russell's Hotel. 2. David W. Honeyinan, purser—died opposite the Bank of Upper Canada while being conveyed to the hospital. His remains are deposited on Borst's-wharf. 3. Biband—among the dead. 4. W Doheny, first engineer —in hospital,•burnt in face and back severely, hands slightly, has a severe scalp wound, which is not considered dangerous, however. 5. Thomas Spence, second engineer —severely burned in face and hands, ant also in the lungs by inhaling steam. Hie recovery is consi dered unlikely. 6. M. Macniahon, wheelsman—almost un hurt. 7. R. Fit zimmons, Wheelemen—rnisaing. 8. Julien Pare, of L ichine, wheelsman--saved with a few slight con tusions. 9. J. Doolan, deck hand,a boy—was not on board, having missed his passage at Kingston. 10. M. Peto, deck hand—missing. 11. Baptiste Sauvet, of Point Claire, deck hand—in hospital ; likely to recover. 12. Cyril Gau din, of St. Anne, .eck hand—in hospital, in a dangerous position, having become comatose under the influence of severe wounds. 13. W. Kelly, deck hand—in hospital, with lower extremities burned, but not seriously. 14. Amable Lauzun, of the Coteau, deck hand—in hospital, likely to recover. 15. J. M`Gill, of Kingston, fireman — missing. It is supposed that it is his b.cly which is so muti lated as to make perfect identification impossible. 16. Francis Birois, firetnan—missing. 17. J ohn O'Meara, fireman —in hospital ; severely burnt in head and face. He was in bed when the accident took place, and received his injuries in trying to escape. 18. John Brennan, fireman— missing. 19. Bryan O'Donnell, steward—saved, with slight scratches. 20. Patrick S r they, cabia boy—missing. 21. Catherine Anne M'Crae, of Beauharnois—lying in a dying condition on Borst 's Wharf, at two o'clock this morning. The Mayor was promptly on the spot, and male all the arrangements for the attendance of the wounded and the care of the dead. The chief and deputy-chief of the police were active in their duties ; and Dra. Hallowell, Bovell, Cotter, Arnoldi Wright, Richardson, Aiki ns, Di x i e ( o f Brampton), ' and Bethune, were most assiduous in their at tendance on the wounded. TRAWLING EXPERIMENT.—In a few days an interest ing trawl -fishing experiment will be made with the screw welled fishing schooner, Albatross. Dempster's im proved trawling apparatus, of 30 feet beam, altogether weighing 9 cwt., . w.ilt be worked from one side of the vessel, whilst the old trawl, of equal dimensions, will be worked from the other—both being drawn over the • ground at the same time in juxtaposition. The rate of sailing wi Ibe 2i miles par hour. Fishermen who have examined this improved apparatus are astounded with i t. novel appearance. KING'S COLLEGE HOSPITAL.—The committee for the completion of the buildings essential for carrying out the purposes of this inst tution have taken measures for htdding a public meeting in the Great Hall of Lincoln's inn on Saturday (to-morrow), at 2 o'clock, at which the Duke of Cambridge is to preside. This hospital, which was lounded in 1839, has been the msans of conferring innumerable benefits on the vast population which sur round it. During last year it received 1,388 in-patients, and administered medical relief to 25,564 out-patients. The lugs additions to the building, w hi c h commence d in 1849, have been found insufficient to meet the increas ing number and necessities of the poor seeking relief, and it has been determined to raise a fund for making various alterations of a comprehensive character. It appears that a sum of 40,0001. is required for the com pletion of the hospital and for the current expenses for the ro xt two yeArs, and of this sum the committee and their friends have already contributed 10,000/. The choir of Lincoln's-inn, assisted by some members of the Sacred flarmovic Society, will take an important part in the meeting to-morrow, and will perform "The Queen shall rejoice," by Handel ; " Benedictus qu i ven it," by Mozart ; and " La Carita," by Rossini.,, APPOINTMENTS.

Our Australian colonies wore for a long time under valued as places of settlement for free men, and considered only as fit spots for the exile of evildoers. For the last few years public opinion has flowed in the opposite direc tion, and there is a tendency to predict for Australia a fu ture destiny like that of America, with a population to b 3 counted one day by tens of millions, a high place among independent nations,ind the chief authority in the Southern Hemisphere. The truth lies between these widely differ ing estimates. Australia will no doubt become year by year a richer and more populous country ; it may even take its place among Sovereign Powers, but it can never be a rival to the North American continent. The climate is too unirprinly sultry, the soil is too poor, the rivers are too small and few, the want of water is too generally felt, for the great island to be anything more than a desert en circled by a belt of cultivated coasts. The colonies which the British have established extend over the most eligible regions, and the shepherds and squatters have already pushed inward to the borders of the uninhabitable desert. There is no inexhaustible tract of prairies, no network of rivers bearing the explorer onwar 1 into the very heart of the continent. We are already able to see our destined achievements ; the limit plaCed by nature is too firmly fixed to be removed by any exercise of perseverance or skill. However, Australia may be considered a groat coun try if compared with the capabilities of European States. The "whole south eastern portion, from Moreton Bay to Adelaide, a region many times larger than these islands, is fit for human habitation ; then there is the Swan River settlement on the west, and a great extent of tropical country to the north. The two former of these districts ales well able to stand alone ; they are attracting a stream of emig rants, which is not likely to fail as long as the Bii tish isls and Germany continue prolific countries and the colonies offer to the adventurous population the certaintyof competence and the chance of wealth. But North Austra lia, placed within a few degrees of the equator, is still a de sert, and without the interference of the State is likely to remain so for many years. Now, while we are all looking for a place of deportation for our malefactors, and can find no spot but the banks of Swan River, it is again asked that Government should turn its attention to Port Essington and the Gulf of Carpentaria. The question in its broadest terms comes to this,—ls a tropical climate fit for a settle ment of white men ? Were the Spaniards and Dutch and our own old English ignorant and reckless when they de scended eagerly on Mexico and Peru, the Antilles, and the Spice Islands, leaving more temperate regions to be slowly occupied by the victims of want or persecution at home? Does a colony in the Tropics involve necessarily the labour, and consequently the servitude, open or disguised, of an inferior race ? Can we, who have abolished slavery and pledged ourselves to the protection of aborigines every where, hope for success in the colonization of a coast in such a latitude ? The President of the Geographical Society, in his recent address, insisted on the propriety of forming an establish ment at Port Essington, or some other point of the north ern coast. The natural qualities of this part of the con tinent appear to he such as would insure success to settlers, if it were only situated under a more temperate climate. The harbours are good, the gulf extends 500 miles into the mainland, India, the Malay Archipelago, the Dutch colo nies, China, and Japan, are all so situated as to make the northern port the emporium of Asiatic trade. The travels on which the supporters of the scheme base their arguments ara'chiefly of recent dat(h. The Government decided, some time since, that an exploration of the interior of North Australis should be undertaken, and the task was com mitted to Mr. Gregory, who had already distinguished himself by a survey of Western Australia.. The expedition marched southwards from the coast along the course of the river Victoria. The first great discovery was that the salt desert, whichmeets travellers moving inland from the south and west of thecontinent, bounded also the habitable region of the north. Is may now be considered as proved that all the central portion of this vast continent is an unin habitable desert, probably the dried up bottom of a s ea, nd that henceforth all interchanges between our diffe rent colonies must take place either along what, in a gene ral sense, may be termed the coast ranges, or along the sea. While, however, North Australia is thus cut off from the other colonies, j use as they are, to some extent, divided from each other, yet the report of the expedition is most favourable as regards the fertility of the coast dis tricts. All the cou ,try between the Gulf of Carpentaria and tbe most northern of the New South Wales settle ments was found to be more or less fertile. Though Go vernment had not as yet moved, the colonists have columnbegun to find-out the capabilities of the region, and the of migration is pushing on ste adil y from M oreton B ay northward, until it is now within 560 miles of the V. _gulf. It is stated that the ,banks of th e navigable rivericto ria were found perfectly healthy, an d that rec ently our coun trymen were stationed there for months w ithout the loss of a man. There certainly can be no doubt that this fine indented northern caast must one day become studded with settle ments, if even the country inland be not colonised. Situ ated as it is in the track between the present colonies and India, to, say, nothing of the mother country, it gems pretty certain that the race which has founded Singapore, Hongkong, an'd Aden will not be debarred. by a tropical climate from establishing trading places in the moat suit able spots. Why, then, should not Government take the first step, and make the way easier for those who are to come afterwards ? One or more penal colonies on the north coast would certainly do the rough work for the first generation of settlers. As to the heat of the climate, we think that, provided the convicts are not put to too bard and too continuous labonr, these is nothing to be feared• Certainly it would seem that where men will go for gain they may be sent for punishment. The inducements to occupy this rich territory are indeed considerable. It is our only_ tropical land' whiCh is even moderat el y healthy. Western Africa, from the thickness of its vegetation, running down to the sea, and stagnating in lagoons all along the coast, is notorious for its dead liness. The American mainland is not our own ; and there i in no part of the earth where we could try the experiment 5 0 0 1 0 0 THE NATIONAL GAL,E.RY. The Royal Commissioner.; have presented their report on the site of the National Gallery. The report has net yet been made actually public, hut, as its general tenour is notorious, there can he no harm in ariti , ipating by a few days the conclusions of a document which ere everybody's secret. The Commissioners recommend that the National Gallery shall be left where it is. This was the chief point at issue. Dr. Milman was, we believe, the only diserfitient in favour of the more courtly theory which woilia have removed the Gallery to South Kensington. When this question was mooted some time back—juitt before Lord Elcho obtained the commis ion—we argued as strongly as we could in support of the view which the Commission has adopted. The only point which could admit of a moment's doubt was as to whether or no the pictures. were injuri ously affected by the locality of the present Gallery. If it could have been shown that, apart from defective ventila tion, from the imperfect construction of the rooms, from injurious processes employed in the cleaning of the pictures, there was really some injurious principle in .the London atmosphere which was more or less slowly destroying these great works of art, no doubt the conclusion was in evitable in favour of removal. But when it was considered that immediately opposite the National Gallery stands Northumberland-house and that the pictures in Northum berland-house have not become deteriorated in consequence of their position, although they have remained there for a much longer period than the national pictures on the other side of the square, a very strong presumption arose that it was not the general London atmosphere whieh was in fault. It is very true that the pictures in Northumberland house have not been exposed to the same severe trials as the pictures in the National Gallery. The walls against which they are hung have not been visited daily by thou sands of visitors ; they have not, consequently. been moistened with the concentrated exhalations of human breath ; they have not been exposed to constant vicissi tudes of temperature which would act upon the varnish, and so let in mischief upon the picture. All this may be freely admitted, but the fair inference would be, not that the London atmosphere cannot be disarmed of its terrors, but that the arrangement of the rooms at the National Gallery is faulty in conception and defective in execution. This we believe to be the truth of the matter. Were th• rooms in which they are hung properly ventilated and maintained at an even temperature the national pictures would suffer very little damage, if any, from the London [smoke. Any one who visits the Gallery must be well aware that the contrary of all this is the case. The per vading smell is almost as offensive as the un-Sabasan odor which used to reign in the old Reading-room of the Mu seum. Now, that which affects the human senses in so very unpleasant and painful a manner can scarcely be other wise than injurious to the pictures as soon as the mischief is let in through the cracks in the glazed sat face. Apart from these general considerations of common sense, we believe that competent persons who have been charged with the office of instituting chemical experiments upon the matter have arrived at the conclusion that any deleterious principle which may exist in the London atmosphere can not make its way through the coat of varnish as long as this coat can be maintained uncracked. We take it, then, as a legitimate conclusion that if a Titian or a Raffaelle receives any damage at Chariug-ctoB3 it is our own fault, This question, then, of the immunity of the pictures from necessary damage being disposed of, we have to consider the fittest situation for a National Gallery on general grounds ; and there can, we think, be no doubt that Tra falgar-square presents the very best situation in London for the purpose. We can to a certain extent sympathize with the views of those who would have transferred the site of the Gallery to Kensington gardens, converting Kensington Palace into a fitting temple for the reception of these glorious pictures. It is a rich man's notion, and for a rich man by no means a bad notion. Undoubtedly, for all persons who had time enough on their hands it would have been well that the pictures bay been removed from Trafalgar-square and placed among the solemn old trees of Kensington-gardens. The lounge would have been far more agreeab'e. Even as far as the more occupied and humbler classes are concerned, they would have once or twice in their lives enjoyed a run to the National Gallery at Kensington, as they now enjoy their rare visits to the Crystal Palace. When there their enjoyment would have been more perfect, and there are many considerations to be urged in favour of this view. These considerations are, however, overbalanced by the weight of argument on the other side. A mere romantic enlvincernent of the gratifica tion which dilettanti and occasional visitors might receive from the leafy avenues with which the Gallery might le surrounded is surely as nothing when set against the fact that ten people would visit the Gallery at Charing-cross for one who could afford time or muster vigour to make his way up to Kensington. It is a most important matter that the Gallery should stand in the most central spot of London, anti such, for the purposes contemplate I, Trafalgar square undoubtedly is. It is, no doubt, a great mortifica tion to our national pri le that the National Gallery should wear so repulsive an aspect from the outside. Never was there an opportunity so completely thrown away. The site is one of the very finest in any European town. The building erected upon it, therefore, should form an appro priate termination to that street which should, and, no doubt, will in time, be a most stately one. With West minder Abbey and the Parliament Houses at one end, and the National Gall , ry at the other, with Whitehall and the Public Offices in e,sse and posse as con necting lieks, we surely here have the elements of an architectural result which should reflect credit on the nation. What Is to be done with the present building ? If all the rooms were taken for national purposes, and the Academy were removed elsewhere, as far as internal accommodation is concerned we might work on for a time • but the building itself will never be other than a discredit to the nation. Take it from what point you will, it is an eyesore. Meanwhile, what is to be-done ab4ut the Turner pic tures ? Where are they to be placed ? We are just now virtually imposing upon the illustrious dead. The con dition of his bequest to the nation was that a gallery should be built by the nation for the reception of hie corks. The works we have accepted, but wo have not built the gallery. Why should England not have some thing at the least as fine as the Museum at Berlin for the display, not only of our older art treasures, but. of the works of our native artists? Were such a building in existence we firmly believe that in a few years England would surpass every continental capital in her pictorial wealth. The Exhibition now in progress at Manchester constitutes excellent evidence of the enormous mass of pic tures of the very highest class actually in the country. There ia, however, little or ho inducement a t p resen t t o offer gifts or make bequests to the nation. Nowhere would the pictures be so ill-shown--nowhere would they be so likely to receive injury as when incorporated with the National Collection. Still, despite of all these disad vantages, the names of Angerstein and Vernon as collectors, and of Turner as -an artist, are there to show what men would do under more favourable circumstances. Hitherto wo have been as beggars craving for alms, and grudging the cost of the wallet.--Times. ROBBERY ON THE WINDSOR RAILWAY. Yesterday morning two, gentlemen, foreigners, entered the 10.50 train for indsor, and immediately after taking their places in a first-class carriage they were joined in the same compartmentby three persona of not only respectable but of gentlemanly appearance and manner. In the pro gress of their journey, the three persons last mentioned produced some cards, and used some efforts to get the fo reigners to join them in the game. This, however, they declined, ant nothing bad occurred to excite the suspicion of the latter during the remainder of the journey. - .Soon after leaving the train, however, one of them discovered that his pocket had been pickall of a case .containing 301. in bank notes, and the other also found that he hed been robbed of 50/. in bank notes. The gentle men so robbed at once proceeded to the residence -of Mr. Long, the desk to the borough magistrates, and communicated their loss to that gentleman, and also described the persons of their fellow-travellers in the train. "' Mr. Long at once despatched a messenger to Mr. Egar, the superintendent of police at Windsor, requesting his immediate attendance, and on his arrival he was informed of the robbery. Mr. Egar said he was at the railway station, and actually saw the five gentlemen get out of the same carriage, and such was the notice taken of them that he had no doubt ho should be able to recognise the whole of them again. Lig...lilies were at once set on foot, and it was soon ascer,,aiiied that the three gentlemen who were " wanted" had engaged a fly to take teem to the Hampton races. Mr, Egar, with one of his sorg!aats (Noble), and a member of the Bucks police, at once went in pursuit of the thieves, and on reaching 'Hampton they were not long in finding oat the fly driver who had driven them from Winilsor to the races, and he said he would be able to point out the parties. Mr. Egar, in conseqUence.' took his person with him, and while one of ihe races was going on one of the thieves was seen in the betting-stand with betting-book in hand, and offering to take or give the odds. Mr. Egar approached him. and having quietly intimated that he "wanted him" for being concerned with two others in robbing two foreign gentlemen of -841. in bank notes on the Windsor Railway, requested that he would at once retire .to the back of the stand and not submit himself to be put to to the unpleasant ordeal of being laid hands on.
