Kay e in r. a .orth, who fpresiddlcon the occasion, and having ad , iew prehminary 'remarks disclaimed being the ecteate of any particular 'party in -the 'disputes helthen aavital. and labour which had arisen, Obret•ved that he ad been encouraged to lay before the public his views 'en the important question with which he Was about tn deal, by the fact that they have been deemed ae high as authority as Mr. J. Stewart Mill mot m.nworthy of consideration. Proceeding then to the . development of those : views, he expressed bia dissent from the opinion that strikes ought .*6 'be regarded as producing effects entirely bad, and • kis belief that their tendency was to bring about social valatiOns between the employer and the employed very •• "efferent from *those which at the present day existed. the tekms "capital" and " wages" he brieflylerilainod, remarking that it was impossible to tete the general average rate of the latter throughout the country I tnless the former were 'increased, or the number of 'those competing for employment was by emigration n - 'or some other means diminished. Touching then upon t he question whether the number of hours whi c h' "the r ec i p i ents of wages should work' were simply regu lated by r ustom, or the will of the' capitalist, or by laws which could not be arbitrarily set aside, he -skated it to be his opinion that, although it might be quite possible for a number of labonrers. entering into a sudden combination to procure for a short period ~ the same amount of wages for nine hours' work as they jled previously done for ten, yet, inasmuch as the accu /Mutated fund from which the remuneration for their labour was drawn would in consequence be diminished, ; . t hey must not hope to succeed in obtaining permanently l ila same amount of wages for less work. One manifest -- tendency of strikes, he then went on to say, was to -bring the rates of wages in different employments to • "le conimOn level, while they also tended to procure ler the labourer a share of that extra profit which 'the capitalist happened to derive from the improve- I nent of his trade. But while a strike might with a dvantage be had recourse to at a time when item that or other causes the profits of the capitalist h ad increased, it was,. he contended, an ill-advised ' • Peeeeding to adopt when trade was depressed, and when both the employer and the employed were suffering from That circumstance. The question, therefore, as to which Party was in the right in the recent dispute which had taken race in the metropolis, between the masters and their roan, he regarded as depending for its solution upon the answer which could be returned upon those points. Ad .' verting to the assertion so frequently made that strikes never produced any good to the labourer, he denied its , justice, and, passing over several instances in which, he laid, the very objects for which strikes had been entered into had been secured, maintained that even in the case of the Preston strike, which had inflicted on the working classes a loss of 1250,000, labour had not combined in ‘- vain, inasmuch as the masters had upon that occasion been made aware of the strength which union conferred , upon those whom they employed, and would be induced inn future, by making the workman a participator in his increased profits, to avoid the repetition of a similar movement. Capital and labour were no doubt opposed to one another as things at present stood, but identity of interest between them might, he thought, be effected by making the labourer a participator in the improvement in his master's trade a result which the power to combine, he thought, irresistably _ _ tended to bring about. The lecturer then proceeded to dilat e 'nu * the advantages which the existence of elteollerative establishments such as those at Leeds and c i a j al e Was calculated to confer on the labouring and the great benefit which giving• them increased inter s, i n . he bad their employer's success by the means which .4);. Indicated would be likely to produce. He, in eon 's's:ln, expressed a hope that the teachings of experience "otild not be lost on the working man, for ci There was some soul of goodness in things evil, Could man observingly distil it out." A vote of thanks was passed to Mr. Fawcett at the C lone of his address. WAYS & RAILWAY TRAVELLERS.

THE ENGLISH PUGILISTIC CHAMPION, Tom Sarcra can 'physically be best dek4tied, says a London correspondent of New kork:Spirit, by the word "ttiirdy." c Stands like a rock, tvalkS with the hainches :en a firm, easy, swing, makes , you fancy thlt qt . 's no use knocking that chap down—he'll be up again before I can say 'Jack Robinson,' and, like the Titan, twice as strong for having kissed his mother earth." That's where the chief point of difl'erence between the two rival cininipions lies. Sayers' face, when he is out of condition, it large, and somewhat inClined to be Addy. his eye is of the " pig" order deep set, and inscrutable. It is most danger 'ens, because you cannot understand the bearings, of its expression. It does- not intensify in gaze when he means mischief, and so give yen. wiining of the' coming "auctioneer," but it the same—stoical—imperturbable —either wheU has just been floored, or the moment We're 'he propels the terrific right hander that is to send at once to the grass the unhappy "candidate" who stands before him.. Then fighting never was reduced to such cold-blooded Matter of fact science as it liasbeen by Tom. From the moment he enters the ring, he regards his opponent r), l'anhject" that it his duty to dissect. This idea, in the stolid way it is impressed apen his mind, never leaves him until he sees the sponge thrown up by somebody, whether by his own or the other:side it does not matter; as those who saw the fight with Nat Langham will remember. Such power of self-devotion to, and concentrative energy upon a given object, renders him for the tithe in my opinion, invincible. Ten nanifol, by severity of pun ishment, divert his mind from the undivided idea and intent of eltitnate victory ; and his body is so tough that you cannot wear that out before you have demoralised 'the less material part of his organisation. To beat him, an antagonist must do one of two things—blind or stun him. " Ould Nat " had science and strength enough to do the former, and came off conqueror. I am told the Benicia Boy has the requisite amount of sledge-hammer in his fists, his flexors, and extensors to do the latter. We shall see. Totn has been taken off his pins with "'rib roasters'" and "jaw breakers before' now ; 'ydt he always' managed te ttake himself up in the thirty seconds alloted betf-sen rounds, and .come up to the scratch at the tient-keeper's call in a rough and ready sort of way that was not to be trifled with.. In his second fight With Aaron Jones, for instance, some sporting lord (Deumlanrig, I think) offered Jones a pretty roan& tiouceur if he would get first knocked down in a certain, indicated round. Jones,: who was as plucky as what's-his-name, went in to, earn his money with a will, and regardless of consequences, p,;ave the gentle Tom such .a straightener on the neck as not only "stretched him prone," 'but caused his backers serious doubts as to whether he would ever get up any more. But Jemmy MasSa spoke up sharply to him, gave him an extra squeeze of the sponge, and he woke op somehow, astonishing everybody round the ring by his steady march to the scratch. Old hands exclaimed at the time, "By-Jingo, if it wouldn't take a rfintlian club to knock the senses hont o' =such a cove as . that !" M. Jules Coignet, the well-known 'landscape painter, and M. Moreau Sainti, ProfesSor at the Conservatoire de Musique, have just died at Paris". AN ELOQUENT PEERESS.—The late Duchess of N------ was very large and fat, had good sense, but was not very refined or delicate in her expressions, nor much addicted to reading. At one of the great assemblies in N House, Lady Talbot, a very slight, delicate woman, who affected literature, happening to stand tear a door wkere there was a gKeat throng., 'exclaimed, "Good Lord, this in as difficult a pass as the Straits of Thermopylter "I don't know-what street you mean," replied the duchess, "but lam afraid I shall never get my through it." The consternation of the learned lady may be easily con ceived.--Life of E. Alfaiew. A LADY FORGETTING HER NAME.—The Paris Cor respondent of the John Buil relates the following :—" I heard an amusing anecdote the other day, illustrative of Prole& incompetency to master any foreign tongue. A young married lady, wedded to a German or a Dutch- man, was making purchases in a shop in the Chausee d'Antin. At length she desired the things purchased might be sent to her address. And your name, ma'am ?' Really, sir, I am not acquainted with my name; I was the Princess TremouUle, and I have married the Baron—Tenter—Tenter--. If you will call my ser vant, who is at the door,. I think he knows." THE HUMAN , WHISTLE.—A lecture on the melodious power and musical capabilities of the human whistle was; delivered at Manilla-house, Peckhaxi. Rye, -the other evening, on behalf of the Pedkhani Ragged School, by a gentleman who assumed for the occasion the nom de guerre of " Aulotes." The lenture was very cleverly given, and the illustrations were admirable, affording •the utmost satisfaction to a body of visitors who crowded the room to suffocation. Among the songs whistled to perfection were "My pretty Jane," "Tell me my heart," and "Meet me by moonlight." The lecturer has evidently studied the art of whistling to advantage, and certainly ought to appear more frequently than heretofore.--fifer. • THE EFFECT OF THE 131/FrGEZ o &Ult.

THE GREAT : SOLAR ECLIPSE OF JULY lB.—By the monthly notice of the Royal Astronomical S oc i ety j ust printed, it appears that the Spanish government has kindly agr (led to lend every assistance to foreign astro nomers w ne may wish to visit Spain for observing the above ee' apse, which will be central over a long distance In the .forth of Spain.

Slight as they are in fabric, the se wor k s are ye t rec k one d among the greatest productions of which mankind has .been the author. (Cheers.) It is no wouder that in a pursuit which occupies so immeasurable a space between the highest and the lowest grades, we should find persons 'who grace the courts and the p a la ces o f the land, and who enjoy all that this world can supply, and others whO laie to encounter the hardest and most painful struggles, and the labour of whose hands with the chisel or pencil produces them far less than if ar;, mechanics they were engaged in some workshop or fo,andry.— W.

RELIEF TO OVER-wnotroitt—The House of Com mons may be congratulated on having performed a duty to humanity. They have practically, decided that the law shall step in for the relief of those , who have been fitly called the "white slaves of England," and save them from a bondage which leads to disease and death.' It has been known for years that the bleachers and. dyers of, our factories were worked with a severity and under conditions involving took cruelty. parliamen tary commission which took evidence on the matter in 1853 received full 'confirmation . of, the sad sufferings of the operatives of.these works; but, by a piece of parlia mentary, jobbery, the report ran adversely, for it was drawn up bypersons interested - in bleaching and dyeing works. It was proved then that' children ware *worked continuously,, in close rooms, for 37 hours, anti even for two or three d a y s without time for sleeping • in their _beds—snatching an hour's rest on boxes, and c ontinuing to work while so sleepy that it was only ,by lo ud noises ' and by frightening them that their overseers c ould keep them awake. Of cour se w h en a bill to ainend this state of things was introdeiced, the representatiif a of the owners of these, works stood to pretest the tt such a change must involve ruin: But the house rot nembered that the same 'plea had, been used by the dee il's advo cates to, arrest all measures of humanity.

It is n „ et easy dVeifate i old im portance of the Hite niOtreliecii,. ko doubt vanity and the excite ment of novelty are the' motives that induce many to take part in it; but that is no reason why sensible persons should despise it. On the contrary, ;they will rather Congratulate the countrythat motivee of such a kind areoturried into so excellent a channel; and some, with more Charity, and perhaps more acute discrimination, will see in that very vanity and excitement the laudable ambition of the young citizen to stand well in the opinion of his fellows, ,and the natural outburst of pent-up patriotism in .finding a ready and suitable outlet for its practical enression. rcw, we are certain, will sympathise with the ilonteMptUmis siidera arid 1116061-lint ejaculations —it would be an abuse of langiap t o call them arguments=withwiiich the Movement was recently stigmatised in the House of cannons by the bearer of an honoured name, These riflemen, guilty though they are Of the ''afroeions crinie" of being yothig ment, are not to be despised. ,The flniieraitt eb.'eral ilia or their Weiptin ti3', fieitient practice, create in the iiiidst tit our population a large body of skilful marks men, who would prove a terrible thorn in the side of an invading army, should ever' any venturesome foe assail . the hearths and homes of Old England., "How oft the means to do ill-deeds make ill-deeds done,", is one of the familiar words of Shakspere's wisdom, whiCh reminds every rich and influential. people of the dnty . that binds theni to counteract the tenalitations their fame and wealth Present to the unscrupulous by arming themselves with efficient methods of self-defence. Every association which thus adds to the available defensive power of a nation, and does not diminish itsindtistrial resdurces, or encroach on the COpltal dedted to reprodUctive par I . oeias to a, genuine peace society in the true sense of the phrase., Self-defence, then, being the sole object of this 'movement, we should be thinking , unjustly and unfairly, of others if we imagined that any foreign nation viewed with suspicion an undertaking actuated by such a spirit, especially when the inducements to the occupations of peace, and all our means of success in, tiade, niandiettitt.s, and Coninierte, remain in tinim- Paired force. Under these circumstances, then, it is irrational to argue that a brave nation will become an aggressive power because it is habituated in warlike exercises, and is skilful in the use of arms. Such an assertion is a libel on human nature. We might as reasonably declare that every strong and courageous man must of necessity. be a bully add nuisance to hie neighbotiit: The love Of Oric't - t4n hind, froin which this movement has proceeded, no more begets hatred of other countries than strong domestic affections engender quarrels and discord between different families. Although it may sound paradoxical, it is nevertheless true that the strength of this national feeling raises mes, as civilisation advances, above the low level of national preju dices, and frees them from the tyrannio yoke of narrow, hereditary dislikings. It enables them to understand other .nations bv.tter, and sympathise r with them more deeply, for, is Goethe once hatred is toinethag peculiar ; you always find it strongest and most violent where there is the lowest degree of nature culture ; but there is a degree where it vanishes altogether, and where one stands to a certain extent above nations, and feels the 'weal or woe of a neighbouring - people as if it had happened to one's owe," How can a man sympathise with other nations whe hat no feeling for his own 3 Trite h'ettnopnlitAii liberality is begotten by wisdom In Me Worn of patriotism ; that whtCh origin'a'tes Ostkhere is a false bastard anti a shanieleis pietelider. Leektd at from another point of victv—as a matter hi physical education —the rifle movement deserves every encouragement and perhaps, the success hitherto attending it may be attributed partially' to the strong conviction that 'is justly entertained tir the high morally as well as physically, of a healthy body and a sound constitntion. The eld Greeks were right when they made gymnastic training an essential element in the education of youth—they were right when they ,honoured with crowns and enthusiastic applause, with joyful escorts and civic privileges; the, grown=up men who hid won prizes fer strength, swiftness, and athletic prowess iik Ui‘e ireat lian-hellenic games. No weitcler then that the works of thir sculptors remain " a possession for ever," as unrivalled models 'of Ina* strength,, 'dignity, and beauty, even nove, Att. 2.000 years enchanting .the beholder, and filling their imitators, with despair. Our forefathers were right when outside the walls of their reedienal cities they had their butts, where prentiee lads raced and wrestled, pitched the bar, played liablEsivrird, and :practised with the longbows OUr ptiblic schools and universities are right in Maintaining trieket, football,' and boating as prominent recognised features' n training the scholars and undergraduates. But in 'eUr larger towns there is a numerous middle class unhappily deprived of 'such a manly discipline. No one can look withetit dissatisfaction and discontent at the appeaKitice and physical condition of most of the hicrks and assis tantain the offices of mereheltS, solicitors, &c. Many, too many, of theM are pale-faced, narrow-chested, narrow4houldered, thin-armed, spindle 7 shanked bipeds, neither muscular nor wiry —young fellows who actually think an eighteen or twenty miles walk' is seniething to be boasted of. Physically they are far inferior to the classes' above theni, whose teld sports and active country life during veenral months in the year keep them in good tonclition—inferior . too to many below them in rank, whose bodily strength developed by their, daily labour. Nmifr 'the rifle movement supplies an adtitirable and popular means of giving the class in ettlteitton something like physical training. The regular drill will stretch their muscles, straighten tltelr backs, open their chests, and strengthen their 'frames. The practice will make their eyemore ionte, their arms steadier and - more active. Lastly, it will help to wean some, and protect others from, habits of vice and insobriety, for no one can become a good rifleman who has his nerves shaken and his muscles unstrung by intemperate living of any kind whatsoever. Messrs. Cummins and Brothers, Lloyd's agents at Queenstown, have addressed a letter to the Times on the working of the post office and mail service to America, via Queenstown. They suggest a change in the day of sailing of the mail steamers from Liverpool to say Thursday, and a like alteration in the day of sailing from New York, so that the urgent business consequent on the sailings and arrivals should fall within the working days of each week. Prrr's GREATNESS. PREDICTED BY HIS FAVIIER.—A, few weeks ago, before Lord Chatham died, Lord Cam den paid him a visit. Lord Chatham's son, the present celebrated W. Pitt, left the room on Lord Camden coming in. " You see that young man," said the old lord ; what I now say, be assured, is not .the fond partiality of a parent, but grounded on a very accurate examination. Rely upon it, ihat young mom will be more distinguished in this country than ever his father was." His prophecy is in part accomplished., ,At the age of 24 he was Chancellor of the Excheoer ; and before he had attainod his 35th year, had bee'a offered and refused the place of First Minister.—Life of Edmond Match& NEW MODE OF PROPULSION BY STEAM-SCREW..—A steam yacht,,4o feet in length,•6 feet beam, and 7i feet deep, was launched, a few days ago, by Messrs., Wm. Smith & C 0.,. Cartadyke, The screw, which is three bladed, is fitted. at the bow, and the vessel is dragged forward, instead ,of being,propelled from abaft vis in the ordinary mode. The engine is of eight lif.rse power, is on the rotary principle, and is exceedingly simple in construction. Next day the yacht, which left East India harbour on a trial trip, with a pressure of iolb of steam, proceeded smoothly up the river, and after lying to for a short time, the pressure was increased to. 301 b., when she steamed back to the harbour at: the rate of from eight to nine knots an hour. The engine worked very sweetly. Some slight alteration will be made on the screw, which is expected to increase the rate of speed. THE, SPANISH GAMBLER.—The following,i which looks very like a " puff," is published in several of the journals as from a letter from .Homburg:—" A•Spanish gentleman, one of the boldest players ever seen, keeps the bankers at the gaming-tables in the utmost alarm. He plays the maximum stake nearly every time, and has, so far, won 1,500,000 f. One of the directors f the bank has just returned from Paris, bringing R. sum of two millions to increase the resources of the. bank. Immediately after his arrival, a notice was posted up at the Cursaal, stating that the bank at Rouge-et-Moir would, for the futhre, consist of 300,000 f. instead of 0 00,000 f, and that the maximum stake for each player would be 12,000 instead of B,ooof. People go in crowds from Frankfort to witness the daring and coolness of this intrepid gamester, who braves such a formidable bank, and has given his word as a Castilian that he will play till he has ruined it or been ruined himself." GEORGEWASHINGTON. — At a sale of autograph letters by Messrs. Puttick & Simpson, of 47, Leicester-square, the other day, a letter of George Washington, the President of the United States, written when a subaltern in the service of the Colonial Government, to the Qoveruor of Virginia, sold for £l6 las, The substance of the letter was as follows :—" I am much concerned that your Honour should seem to charge me with ingratitude for your generous and my undeserved favours, for I assure you, honble. sir, nothing is a greater stranger to my breast, or a sin thaimy soul more abhors than that black and detestable one, i n gratitude."

Miss. Tennessee Gibson died lately, in Arkansas, from, the effects of Snuff-dipping. She fell asleep with the " mop" in her media, and was found a corpse some-hours after. A post morteni revealed the fact that she had swallowed the juice, which was converted into nicatine, a deadly poison; her ,lips, cheek, and" breast were smeared with the foul stiff in her dying struggles, alone in her 'room Before she tetired she felt a deadly sick ness, having swallowed some of the juice, but she had. used it so long, nothing was thought of her complaint until it was too late.

Miss Hinckley, the American prima donna, had re cently a great success in Amsterdam. She sang in the opera of "Linda," in presence of the Queen of Holland, who came and took her by the hand, and thanked her for the great pleasure afforded by her singing. Her Majesty has spoken of the young vocalist very often, and says that she has been dreaming of her ever since, " sbe looked so pretty." At Utrecht she sang, and after the concert she was serenaded by the students, who came in a torchlight procession, -and the lady was called out upon the balcony of her hotel, and saluted with huzzas and fireworks. A banquet 'was also pre pared in herhonour. At Rotterdam, also, her success was brilliant. How LIGHT LITETIA.TURE PAYS.—Mr Chas. Dickens has commenced a new story in All the Year _Round. It is called " The Uncommercial Traveller." I told vou the other day what I heard as to the literary earnings of Dickens for ten y ears—(£7o,ooo)--seven thousand a year. I have just heard another and almost incredible statement; that by this story of ' Bleak House,' he made a profit of C 30,000! The story is this : the advertise ments in each number paid all expenses, paper, printing, plates, advertisements, &c.); 60,000 copies on an average sold of each number, and there were twenty numbers. Allowing one-half as a wide margin for the profit of the publishers and retail booksellers, you have a profit of sixpence a number for Dickens himself. 60,000 six pences a month are 30,000 shillings ; awl these, for 20 months, make £30,000 paid to an author for one work of fiction. This is the highest sum ever paid for any work of art. The celebrated Murillo of Lord Hertford fold for £24,000 only—the highest sum ever paid for a picture.—Letter from London. A RUNAWAY WIFE.—Some months since considerable excitement was caused at the westerly section of the city of Boston, United States, by the sudden and mysterious disappearance of Mrs. Nelly Sprague, young, handsome, and then recently married. She was discovered, and restored to her friends in Howard-street, with whom she remained until two or three weeks since, when she vras again missing, under mysterious circumstances. It was,. however, ascertained that she had left the city in company with one Albert B. Hall, of Augusta, Me., and had gone with him to Montreal. As in the first disappearance, the aid of the police was in this case solicited, and officer Wright, of the chief a office, was dispatched in search of the runaways. He traced and followed them to Montreal, and several other places in Canada, and then to Chicago, where he found the couple living as man and wife. Mr. Wright has arrivel home, bringing Mrs. Sprague with him and leaving her at her father's house in Howard-street. Hall was left irr--Zsicago, the officer not having any orders or authority to bring him. THE QUEEN AT THE TOMB OF THE DUCHESS OF GLOUCESTER. — On Thursday morning, at ten o'clock, her Majesty and the Prince Consort, accompanied by the Prince of Wales, the Princesses Alice and Helena, the Duchess and Princess Mary of Cambridge, and the Duke of Cambridge, visited the tomb of. the late Duchess of Gloucester, which has recently been erected by command of her Majesty in the south aisle of the Chapel Royal of St. George, Windsor. The royal visit was quite unexpected ; consequently the royal party was unattended by any of the clergy or other authorities of the chapel, excepting Mr. Wise, the verger. This costly and magnificent monumental tomb, erected by the command of, and at the expense of, her Majesty the Queen, as a tribute of affection to the memory of her late royal highness was put together temporarily at the time their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess Frederic William of Prussia were at the castle, with the view of enabling the Prince and Princess to form an estimate of the effect when completed, and to suggest improvements. The top of the tomb is com posed of the best serpentine marble, the figure of the cross with the rose, thistle, and shamrock enamelled thereon. The front of the tomb, as well as the ends, are of white marble, the inscriptions being enclosed in panels of serpentine with mosaic borders. Each panel contains the arms of England. On the wall immediately over, and forming a portion of , the tomb, these are four bas-relie, executed 'in white statuary marble, with great artistic skill and talent, from . the original designs. All these contain groups of figures illustrative of acts of charity and piety. The first is the representation of "Clothing the naked," the second of "Feeding the hungry with bread," the third "Reliev ing the wearied traveller on his way," and the fourth of "Visiting the sick- -hed." The following inscrip tion appears on the . ;We of the marble slab forming the top, occupying the ends and front :—" This tomb 1 has been erected by Queen Victoria, as a tribute of respect and affection, - to her beloved aunt Mary, Ditches's of Gloucester, anno domini 1859." Within the panels already described are the following inscriptions. In• the first:—"'ln the vaults below ar , interred the W mortal remains ofilliam Henry;, ; le of M o i l . , 6it cester, born 25th November, 174 3 .; 4 ,- sth !augu st, lBos.

The second panel con tains the following : --" William Frederick, Duke of Glou -1 cester, born 15th January, 1776; died 30th. Nov., 1834.- Mary, Duchess of Gloucester, born 25th April, 1776 ; , died 30th April, 1857. Princess Sophia Matilda of Glou: ;taster, born 29th May, 1773 ; died 29th Nov. 1844." This magnificent-tomb is now shown to the public. The bas-reliefs and the sculpture were executed by Mr. Theed, and the architectural portion by Mr, Gilbert Scott..

The other is'-divided into about fourteen cells, just like bathing boxes, with the same sort of hood in front. The first six are marked " haupt," for those who have graduated in shooting, the remainder "-sphlecker," for the undergraduates. -For it seems "there are degrees given as well as honours; at least, the list of officials hanging on the wall is headed by a pair of shoot doctors. At the far end the range, which is about a hundred yards in length, is a high Wall; next to this a row of targets, one .for each shooting box, two feet in diameter, with . a foni-inch bull's-eye, and a little nearer a row of bullet-proof Mita - for: the ma rkers. *When a shot is fired, the shooter pulls a wire communicating with the hut belonging to his box, and a man in a gorgeous scarlet uniform comes out, examines the target, and touching his hat respect fully, indicates the position of the hole. But if the bull's-eye is struck, the ceremony becomes an imposing one. In the first place, a painted Austrian eagle is made, by some mechanical contrivance, to display himself in outspread astonishment over the target. Then the marker comes up and looks thoughtfully at the bullet-mark. If the shot be a very good one, he puts his hand to his head and shakes it, and stamps to typify the amouut of physical suffering the shot would have produced had his cranium been in the position of the bull's-eye. Then he cuts a mad caper, and walks solemnly three times round the target, bowing to it every time he passes its face ; while in the room over head a drum and fife are going with a fury that makes the noise of the rifles a positive relief. All this, however, is cool, quite cool, to the t'elat with which a successful shot is received in a provincial schiess-statte. There, not being restrained by the more prim manners of the metropolis, the marker gives a loose rein to his natural demonstrativeness. He lies down, rolls about in ecstacies, puts his cocked hat on his feet, stands on his head, turns heels over head ; does every thing, in fact, short of turning himself inside out. It is a curious scene, that in the sehiess-statte : there are gaunt swarthy men in loose grey jackets, and belts with their names conspicuously embroidered in front, fondling and dandling on their bare brown knees rickety-looking old rifles, that no doubt in their day have dropped a bullet into many a chamois and anerhahn. There are spruce young bucks from Innsbruck, with dandy guns, and hats adorned with blackcock's feathers, regardless of expense. Shy looking provincial sparks, who to conform to the ways of the city have come out in trousers, but cannot make their legs behave in harmony with their design. Stout old burg,hers who have given up shooting, but like to see how the youngsters do it now-a-days, being, however, of the opinion that you don't see shots like what we used to see in my day, sir. Here is an old fellow who has been at it all day, and has been making deplorable shooting. Once more he goes in, takes a long aim, but brings down the rifle unfired, and looks at his fat shaking hand as it' he was going to make it a personal matter with it. At last the barrel goes tip again, and this time he lets fly. Out rolls the drum and away goes the fife, and here comes the old boy perspiring with satisfaction. In no other way, however, will he let it be seen. The utmost indulgence he allows himself is a jolly wink to another old fellow the countei part of himself. Presently they go out together, and you see them cross over to the tavern at the other side of the road, and you may b sure that. vsmerahle marksman will shoot no more to day. The. box he has left is immediately filled up by a devil-may -care mountaineer, who fires his shot with no result, arid comes back - looking as if that was exactly what he meant to do. He has a brace of retainers of his owr 1 build with him, who evidently believe in him, and t o whom he explains that if he had hit that time, , it would have been, in point of fact, a miss. He then proceeded to load, wipes out his rifle with ul' ra care and science, fills his charger and looks at it noughtfully. There is a grain too much. Now there is too little, so he fills again. Then he selects a bullet with infinite niceness, lays his piece of rag across the muzzle, presses down the ball; and cuts off the surplus with mathematical exactness. At last he is ready, goes into a box, fires, misses, comes out, and again it is made apparent that no good sportsman would have hit the bull's-eye under the circumstances. You know what he is as well as if you lived in his native dorf up in the mountains. He is that wonderful genius not peculiar to any community or country—who, by dint of what the gods call force of character, but men indeed call hum bug, unsupported by deeds, has filled the local mind with unshakeable belief in his capacity.

From the appearance of the nest, it seemed that the bird had been hatching, and the remains of an egg allowed that the pesition which the skeleton of the bird occupied was veil likely the one in which it died. ' The feathers are of a bluish or slate colour, which leads to the supposi tion that it may have been a blue linnet ; but this elutatiori we leave to ornithologists. The nest is com posed of the usual materittla. Since the Unfortunate little songttcr was entombed, the length of time elapsed must be about otie hundred years.—North British Mail. MANIACAL ATTEMPI4 TO' ENTER THE TUILERIES.— It was recently stated that three mud persons had been arrested in one single day, two of them for attempting to enter thej'isilerres to see the Emperor. The other day three °MeV lunatics' were taken Into custody, also for endeavouring to enter the pa lace:' ' One was a com mercial clerk ; he rang fondly' in the night , the bell of the gate de l'Echelle, and when the concierge presented himself, he said, "I only want to say good morning to the Emperor, for whom I left my care/ yesterday, and to show him a work on the physical cowstitution of the globe, which I have written !"

SINGII LAR , , .UTTBE.--.The LowellYitvs glees the following parti ct l ar i of a very singular' case :—" On Saturday last, Miss tErrITN. A. Btackington, who works on the Merrimack, And boeds at No. IB,' after sewing all. the' evening, felt a peculiar' soreness in one of her thumbs, which pained her so much. through the night that she was •unabie to sleep. On: Sunday morning she visited Dr. Savory, who examined it, and prescribed a poultice. At this - time the-thurnb had upon it a black spot resembling a blood blister. In the course of the day the doctor was sent for. again ; . but she had become insensible, and was removed to the residence of her brother, ! on Franklin square, where she died on Tuesday. Dra. •Sirenty,• Htintington, and Spaulding were called, 'and' they" prononticed it to be a phlebitis, a case of very rare occurrence. It is a disease of the blood, and the result is like that which would follow from the bite of a rattle snake or any poisonous animal. Daring her spasms she bit.the finger of a young lady who attended her quite severely, but the wound was immediately cauterized by Dr. Savory, and ne danger is now apprehended from it. Miss Blaokington was about 22• years of age. Her body was carried to Cambridge, where she . has friends. We . understand that a post mortent examination was to be made in Cambridge." ' ' . A WpasTry MILL Bnmstrn.—DAttrAci, .£30,000. — Thursday morning, at a quarter to seven o'clock, the workmen employed on the ground floor of Messrs. Leeming and Co.'s worsted mill, in Water-street, Man chester, discovered that the room was on fi re . The cause is not known, but the fire broke out in a worsted drying machine which made about 1,300 revolutions . per minute. The stench from the smoke and worsted became so unbearable as to drive the workmen out of the room almost instantly, and in a quarter of an hour the whole mill (an old five-storeyed building used principally for carding and spinning, and saturated with oil) was enveloped in flames. The efforts of the firemen to save the new building adjoining were not futile; but the old mill was com pletely gutted, the roof, floors, windows, and a con siderable portion of the outer walls having fallen in. The damage is estimated at from £15,000, to .£20,000, which it is supposed will be covered by equal insurances in the Manchester, Lancashire, Atlas, West of England, Royal, and Imperial offices. As operations cannot be carried on in the new mill apart from tbe old building, about 300 hands are thrown out of employment by this fire. EXEMPTION OF VOLUNTEERS FROM TOLLS.—The question has been raised as to the liability of volunteers in uniform to pay tolls on the metropolitan bridges. On Wednesday last toll was demanded of some of the Inns of Court Volunteers, both at Waterloo and Vauxhall bridges, which led in one or two instances to considerable discussion, and very nearly to a breach of the peace. It. will, therefore, be useful to call attention to the Vauxhall-bridge Act, 49th Geo. 111. (local), c. 142, s. 97, which is as follows : " Provided always, and be it enacted and declared, that no toll whatsoever shall be demanded or taken for any horse, beast, cattle, or carriage, of whatever description employed, or to be employed," on public service, as therein mentioned, . . . . "or for any volunteers upon their march, or upon duty, or in going to or returning from the place appointed for, and on the days of exercise, or for any horse, mare, or gelding, furnished by, or for, or belonging to any corps of yeomanry or volunteer cavalry, and rode by them in going to or returning from the place appointed for and on days of exercise, provided that such persons be dressed in the uniform of their respective corps, and have their arms, furniture, and accoutrements, according to the regulations pro vided for such corps respectively at th e time of claiming such exemption as aforesaid And if any person shall claim and take the benefit of any of the exemptions by this act granted, from the whole or any part of the several tolls hereby authorised to be taken, .not being entitled to the same, such person or persons, for every such offence, shall forfeit and pay any sum not exceed ing £5, to' be recovered and applied as other penalties are by this act directed to be r ecovered and a pp lied.' A FRENCH STORY OF CRIME.—In January, 1856, an old landlady, named Chereau , wa s murdered in her own house in Rue Jeoffrrry, Saint - Hil aire, Paris. She had been thrown on her bed, gagged, bound hand and foot, and strangled ; and a sum of about 4,000 f., together with several articles of jewellery, were stolen. The crime had been committed in the open day, and evidently by more than one person ; but all attempts of the police to discover the perpetrators were unsuc cessful. In December, 1858, one Parang was con demned to death for the murder of his niece. A few days after this condemnation his mother made the strange revelation that two or three days after the murder of Madame Chereau, having called on her son, she had found him feasting with his wife and two men ; that the son bad then stated it was he and the men who had murdered and robbed the old lady, and that his wife bad been privy to the crime; and lastly, that he bad made her (the mother) take a solemn oath on the crucifix not to tell to anyone what he had stated. This oath, she said, she would have respected had not her sen been condemned to death for another crime: Parang, on being questioned, would neither confirm nor contradict what his mother said ; and in due time he was executed. His wife con farmed the statement of the old woman, and declared that the two men who had been with her and her hus band at the feast alluded to were named Henot and Delaneau, and bad since been condemned to different periods of hard labour for other crimes. The were both brought. hack to France, and, having been recognised by the woman, were some weeks back brought, to trial for the murder, the woman Parang being accused with them as an accomplice. But Henot alleged that on the day of the murder he was in prison in the town of Blanc, in the department of the Allier. The trial was in conse quenct.postpOned to enable an investigation to be made, and his allegation turned outto be true. He was, there fore, left out of the indictment for murder ; but as the discoveky-was made, that he and Delaneau had, in 1855, committed•two burglaries, he was ordered for trial far those offenee. • With regard to Delaneau, as the woman persisted in swearing that he was the man who had be en at the feast; and as some: persons had , seen a man r ese - Mini; him near the widow. Cherean' rn s house on the day of the murder, citevrae determined to maintai n the accu sation of murdei l against hini, and he was also accused of the burglaries with "tenet. The trial has just taken place, the result being that the woman Parang, being declared guilty of receiving teme of th e things' stolen froat.blad. Chereau,. knowing of the m ur d er, was con demned,,to five years' imprciosonrimn D th e t la b ri ti e r a g u lar ' was i imprisonment t acquitted of the murder, but net ,and_ was - co ndemned to forty yea rs ' h ar d labour' to be Confounded with a Sentence of twenty already passed on him ; and Henot, being also convicted of the burglaries, was sentenced to thirty years' hard labour.

USEFUL ADVICE TO THOSE " Anour TO MAERY."— Go down upon only one knee to a young lady. If you go down upon both, you may not be able to escape quick enough in case of the appearance of an enraged father.

The two first will have each two batteries, and Hesse Darmstadt one. LUNACY IN SCOTLAND.—The second annual repe f rt of the General Board of Commissioners in Lull or Scotland has been presented to both hous es of Icai:lia ment. The commissioners report the distressing fact that in Scotland, as in England and Wales, the number of the insane is undergoing a steady and serious increase. FRENCH BEET-ROOT SUGAR.—The customs depart ment has just published the returns of the production and consumption of beet-root sugar during the past six months of the season 1859-60, that is to say, to the end of February. At that period the number of manufee tories at work had diminished from 349 t 0•330. The quantity made had declined by . 33,586 metrical quintals, as compared with the production of the corresponding period of the preceding year. On 29th February it rose to 1,199,053 quintals. THE OLD HOI USE t or COMMONS. — When the late Mr. Harris, of Salisbury, made his first speech in the House of Commons, Charles Townsend asked, with an affected surprise, who he was ? He never had seen him before. "Ah ! you must, at least, have heard of him. That's the celebrated Mr. Harris, of Salisbury, who has written a very ingenious book on grammar, and another on virtue."—" What the devil, then, brings'him here ? I am sure he will neither find the one nor the other in the House of Commons."—Malew's Memoirs. THE NEW LORD STRATHEDEN AND LORD CAMPBELL. —lt is not a little singular that by the recent death of his mother, the Baroness Stratheden, her son, the pre sent lord, would actually take precedence, both in the House of Peers and oat of it, over his father, Lord Campbell, if it were not for the accident of the latter noble lord at the present moment holding the office of Lord High Chancellor, in which capacity, as is well known, he ranks above every subject in the kingdom, except the royal family and the Archbishop of Can terbury. JACK ASHORE IN LISBON.—The arrival of the Eng lish fleet has somewhat relieved the monotony of the city ; the blue jackets have been on shore in large num bers, and as is customary the wine-shops have besn well frequented. The other afternoon an altercation arose between some of the sailors and two orange women, doubtless about the price of the article, which is usually some 300 or 400 per cent. dearer to Jack than to any one else; the sailins decamped to the boats, and kept up a brisk fire with oranges on the women. An orange, misdirected, struck a Portuguese sailor in the eye, and the consequence was a general discharge of stones from the quay upon the boats. At this Jack backed water and landed, and cleared the square very soon; but a strong guard of eighty soldiers coming up at-this junc ture put an end to the affair, possibly to the disappoint ment of the bystanders.—Lisbon Correspowirne If the Daily News.
