Mr. Roby, who appeared for the society, contended that all the subscrip tion money had been paid by the mother, and even submitted that Wm. Evans, whose name was ou their books, might not• be Sarah Ellen Evans's husband. Mr. Raffles, however, thought that the fact of their having paid the money to his mother proved the deceased's death, and said that they had not conformed to their own laws in paving the money over to the mother, who had nothing to prove that she was appointed to receive it but her own word. He therefore decided in favour of the claimant. (Before Messrs.

T he investigation by the directors has been brought to a close, and reveals the astounding fact that the amount of the defalcations is no less than £283,070.

Pullinger, who was absent at the time, attending a funeral of a relative, was immediately followed by a director and the manager and brought back, when he at once confessed that; from losses on the Stock Exchange, he had from time to time, since his appointment as chief " s hier, abstracted large sums from the charges taken ore to the Bank of England, which he had concealed from the ledger-keeper by exhibiting to him a fabricated Pass-book, in which the balance agreed with what it 4 , ?Peared in the- accountant-general's ledger.

The entire loss will be met from the Bank's profits. A sum of £120,000, dr awn from the reserved fund, and capitalised in July 'last, will be transferred back.

On Tuesday morning the annual meeting of the sub , scribers of this institution took place in the New Adelphi Theatre ; Lord Monteagle in the chair. Mr. George Godwin, the secretary, read the report, of which the following are the principal portions : " The Art-Union of London has now been established twenty-four years. Exclusive of the current year's subscription, and of the thousands added by prize holders, it has raised and distributed the sum of £254,143, of which £138,662 have been paid to artists, and for the production of statuettes, bronzes, and other prizes; and £64,623 to engravers and for the supply of impressions to the subscribers. • It has sent some hundreds of thousands of engravings over the world—to the gold• diggers of Australia, the back woodsmen of Canada, to New Zealand, China, the Indies, Egypt, the United States; in fact, to nearly every corner of the globe where there is an English settlement, as well as to every city, town, and village of the United Kingdom ; and-it finds itself, on the present occasion, with a subscription of £14,138. The total sum which has been expended by the Art- Union of London on paintings, exclusive of the further large amount added by the prizeholders themselves, is £118,765, while for bronze and porcelain statuettes, medals, works in iron, enamels, lithographS, and other productions given as, prizes, the sum of £19,897 has been paid. It may be interesting to state the number of , bronze and other statuettes which have been distributed. Bronze statuettes and busts . . 313 Porcelain and other statuettes and busts 2,553 Tazzas and vases in iron 230 Subscribers of the current year have mostly received the volume of wood engravings, prepared for them from pictures by thirty deceased British artists, and an engraving by Mr. F. Hull, from the picture by Mr. J. J. Jenkins, called " Come Along." For the ensuing year every subscriber will receive for each guinea paid, an impression of Mr. Wilimore's engraving, after Turner's exquisite picture, " Childe Harold's Pilgrimage," described in last year's report, and which engraving is now at press. Mr. Absolon's water-colour drawing, " Boulogne, in 1857," has been reproduce'd in chromolithography by Mr. Vincent Brookes. Framed copies have been dis tributed The council have recently offered a premium of one hundrPd guineas for a series of designs in outline, or outline slightly shaded, illustrative of Tennyson's poem, "The Idylls of the King." They have further offered a premium of seventy guineas for a group or statuette in plaster, representing some subject from English history, to be subsequently executed in bronze or Parian, and thirty guineas for the work selected as second in merit. They propose hereafter to invite designs for a vase, a tazza, or other similar art-work. The Lawrence medal has been completed very satis factorily by Mr. G. G. Adams, and will form part of the works to be now distributed. By the course pursued in the selection of a work by the artist commemorated for the reverse of the medal,—a second worthy to whom the country is indebted,—is, in some cases, honoured. Thus the Chantrey medal records Watt; the Bacon medal, now in the hands of Mr. Joseph Wyon, Johnson; and the Lawrence medal, Wellington. A medal in commemoration of Wilkie, confided to Mr. Leonard Wyon, is being proceeded with. _ In respect of bronzes, the council have arranged with Mr. Foley, R.A., to make a reduced copy of his flue statue, " Caractacus," executed by him for the corpora tion of London, and now in the Egyptian Hall at the Mansion House. Vacancies in the council have been caused by the regretted death of Jacob Bell, Esq., to whom the country is indebted for a munificent bequest of pictures, and by the retirement of Dr. Mortimer, Alderman Salomons, and Alderman Wire. These have been filled by the election of the Dean of St. Paul's, Monckton Milnes, Esq., M.P., and J. B. Bunning, Esq. The following is a condensed statement of receipts and disbursements : Subscriptions received £14,138 15 6 Printing, advertising, salaries, and other expenses, including reserve of 21 per cent. Amount set apart for .printing and volume of wood engravings .. Amount allotted for prizes . . . . The reserve fund now amounts to the sum of .. . . . . . . 9,383 0 0 The following is the allotment of the sum set apart for prizes to be selected by the prizeholders themselves ; viz.:--- 3,393 16 0 4,489 19 6 6,255 18 6 30 works, at £lO each. 6 works, at £6O each. 26 „ 15 „ 6 „ 76 „ 26 „ 20 „ 3 „ 100 „ 20 „ 25 „ 1 „ 150 „ 18 „ 30 „ 2 „ 200 „ 8 ~ 4 0 » To these are added :- 30 Porcelain Groups of "Venus and Cupid." 30 Silver Medals of Lawrence. 600 Chromolithographs. 300 Sets of Photographs. Making- in ail 1,012 prizes. Porcelain statuettes and medals will be allotted to the first 60 names drawn consecutively, at the close of the general distribution. The chromolithographs, medals, and photographs will be allotted to' the names standing one hundredth and two hundredth in the list preceding and succeeding that of each of the first 200 prizeholders, determined as above stated, with a proviso that a prize has not fallen to that number to-day ; in that case the prize will pass to the next succeeding number. The prizeholders of last year purchased from the various exhibitions of the season 105 works of art to the following amounts, viz.:— From the Royal Academy . . £B4B 10 0 The Institution of Fine Arts . . 583 0 0 Society of British Artists: . . 789 5 0 British Institution , . . 243 6 0 Royal Scottish Academy , . 20 0 0 Water-colour Society . . , 103 5 0 New Water-colour Society . . 307 18 0 The prizes were exhibited as usual in the galleries in Suffolk-street. Lord Mouteagle, in moving the adoption of the report, said, that he never did so with greater satisfaction than at that moment. It spoke well for the past, and augured well for the future. His lordship went into the details connected with the laws and management of the Art Union, and referred to Mr. Labouchere having sug gested a kind of National Gallery for themselves. He congratulated the members on having such distinguished men as the Dean of St. Paul's, Mr. M. Milnes, and others of like eminence, added to their council. He felt pecu liarly happy in seeing that the Art Union was able to illus trate that finest production of our greatest modern poet, Tennyson's " Idylls of the King." Although he did not look upon such undertakings as props to the fine arts, for they wanted no props, he thought they were wings to carry out abroad to the farthest corners of the earth. (Cheers.) His lordship commented in severe terms upon the attempts now being made to start a rival society, having nothing in common with them except unfairly appropriating their name. He would conclude by moving the adoption of the report. Carried unanimously. Mr. Monckton Milnes, M.P., addressed the meeting on the prosperous condition of the society, and after alluding to the antiquity of the lottery system, con cluded by moving a' vote of thanks to the council and the honorary secretaries for their services during the past year. Mr. George Godwin returned thanks, and proposed a similar vote to Mr. Webster for the use of the theatre. Carried unanimously. Mr. Webster stood forwird on his own stage in an entirely new character there. He thanked the meeting sincerely, and said that he always looked upon painting, sculpture, and the drama as the graces of civilisation. (Cheers.) He should be very happy to meet them on similar occasions. Mr. Webster retired amidst the hearty plaudits of the meeting, Tlie drawing was then proceeded with, the first prize of consequence being one of £lOO drawn for Miss E. Dunn, of Bedale, Yorkshire; Commodore Hopkins, of Merthyr Tydvil, £200; Mr. Thomas Gallop, 4th er t. road, Regent's-park, the remaining £2OO prize. The other prizes occupied about an hour and a half in drawing from the wheel, after which the proceedings were concluded. Cardinal Szitowski, the Prince Primate of Hungary, intends to do honour to the memory of Count Stephen Szechenyi by means of a Trauer-feier (mourning cere mony) .on the Rakosch plain, on which has been shed the blood of many of the most worthy descendants of Arpad.

Our contemporary even goes the length of expressing an opinion that the dis9pointment of their hopes may lead to additional irritation aniQug the Hungarians. DEATH FROM CH ING. perry, somewhat advanced in years, and who resided at Rockinghm street, Sheffield, died suddenly the other night under circumstances of a very painful character. He was getting his supper,, and while in the act of masticating a piece of meat, a portion of it got fast in his throat. A surgeon was sent for, but all attempts to relieve the poor fellow were unsuccessful, and he died shortly afterwards. A picture of the «Holy Family," by Sebastian del Piombo, which has just been sold by auction at the public sale-rooms in the Rue Drouct, was put lip at 2,000 f., and knocked down at 40,000 f. This pram, which is painted on cedarwood, represents St. Joseph, the Virgin, the Infant Jesus, and St. John. It was recently discovered by a young man in an old convent at Toledo. Ma. BRIGHT AND THE BENICIA Bor.—The West moreland Gazette, remarking on a comparison made by Mr. Bernal Osborne, of Mr. Bright with the Benicia Boy, says, "The Comparison is not fair to the ' Benicia Boy.' That personage, from all that is known of him, is not chargeable with Mr. Bright's propensity to be always flooring somebody or other. Although a pro fessed pugilist he has a better character for being unaggressive and inoffensive in his general bearing than the professed man of peace. There are several points in which the comparison to Mr. John Bright is unfair to Mr. John Heenan. The American athlete is patrio tic in his way, but the English political pugilist is as fulsome in his praise of American institutions as he is bitter againt those of his own country. The bruiser in buff freely perils his own skin in a fair fight with a chosen antagonist ; the tongue-doughty champion in ' drab serves his political ends at safe distance from personal responsibility, by maligning whole classes, and imperilling, as far as his efforts go, the very stability of the country. In one instance only, and that in an affair that happened after Mr. Osborne's speech, can the fistk> hero be fairly likened to Mr. Bright, and that was when ma44enod with 'punish ment' and half-blinded he rushed from his place and hit and kicked indiscriminately. This was very like that mad rush which the Birmingham Boy' made last week, when blind with rage and punishment he struck foal at the newspaper press, and accused the journalists who opposed him of a corrupt connection with a political party in France. But, upon tho whole, we must protost against Mr. Bernal Osborne's comparison as a libel upon the Benicia Boy.' " Tut MorrrAuP., C4.sr.—The Tribunal Criminal and Civil of Bologna has just beep occupied with the trial of Father Feletti, of the Order of St. Dorninie, Inquisitor of the Holy Office at Bologna (who, it may be remembered, was arrested some time ago, on the charge of having carried off by force the child of the Jewish couple Mortara). The reverend father, in answer to the charge, represented that in " sequestrating the child (so he designated the abduction) he had only obeyed the orders of the Supreme Holy OWce at Rome, whose agent he was, and could not, therefore, be held personally responsible. In consequence of this defence, the court endeavoured to ascertain whether orders really had been sent tq Feletti from the Inquisition at Rome ; and also who had cora mu.nicated to the Inquisitions the alleged fact of the baptism of the child Mortara, on which those orders were based. It further examined the question whether, supposing the child to have been baptised, the right existed of taking him from his parents in order to bring him up as a Roman Catholic; and lastly, whether the participation of Fpletti in the affair brought him !within the jurisdiction of the law. The public prosecutor deman&d that Feletti should be condemned to the penalties set forth in Arts. 133 and 200 of the Penal Edict of 1832, against magistrates who make an abusive use of their power by arbitrarily arresting and detaining any person ; such penalties being from one to three years' imprisonment, or even clout& in the event of the case being an aggravated one ; also the payment of damages and costs. The tribunal, however, acquitted the rev. defendant. THE EXECUTION OF GENERAL ORTEGA.,..-11, John Lemoinne writes in the Debats :—" General Ortega, the apparent chief of the insurrection which has just failed in Spain, has been shot ; he has paid the penalty of his want of success. This execution was brought about quickly, before the public voice had had time to raise itself in behalf of mercy. If the Spanish government thought to strengthen itself by this act of pitiless justice, we beAeye that it has deceived itself ; and if we are forced to admit that it was only exer' rising a right in condemning, we believe that it id \7911._ have acted according to its conscience as well as humanely in pardoning. That pardon would not have been difficult to Wain from the Queen herself. Queen Isabella is not cruel. The severity which has been displayed can, then, only be attributed to rea sons of state. Now the public conscience, while forced to admit the legality of this sentence of death, asks itself at the same time by whom it is applied. It cannot forget that the head of the Spanish ministry only arrived at power by military revolt like that which General Ortega has just attempted, and that his very success should have made him commiserate, to some extent, the failure of the unhappy man who had followed his example. It cannot any more forget that the general whose duty it was to countersign the sentence and see it carried out, is the General Dulce who, in 1854, when commanding the cavalry in the Queen's name, went secretly and delivered it up to General O'Donnell, and marched with his against the Queen, whose ministers they have become. We are well aware of the difference which there is between the attempt of General O'Donnell and that of General Ortega ; the one succeeded and the othor failed, But this principle of judging atecoidiug to the event has been here too literally applied to be of salutary example, and in the present case, cannot but excite sentiments of reprobation. The men who have just put Ortega to death only omitted one thing, and that was to shoot him, for the sake of example, on the field of Vicalvaro." LONDON DIOCESAN HOME IVlissioN.--10n Monday afternoon a public meeting of the friends of this mission, which Awes its origin to the present Bishop of London, was held in St. James's Hall, under the presidency of his lordship, who waa scPPorted by the Earl of Car narvon, the Bishop of Oxford, gr. Blaney, g,E., Arch deacon Sinclair, Canon Miller, and other gentlemen. The Rev. Mr. Gell, the bishop's chaplain, read the report, which stated the most encouraging results. The bishop, in speaking on the subject, urged the necessity of promoting the extension of the parochial system, remarking that between . the parochial system and the missionary system there was no antagonism. He adverted to the difficult task which the missionaries had to discharge, observing that they bad not only to deal with the ignorant and degraded, but with apute, intelligent, mechanical men, who knew all the stock arguments that were to be urged against revelation,—men who were better read in works of that kind than even clergymen themselves, who had never felt it necessary to make themselves acquainted with them. If, therefore, in sending forth missionaries to heathen lands they did well to look ont for intelligent men, so, he was quite sure, they required men of a peculiar stamp to do the work of missionary agency in this metropolis. He believed that in this, as in other matters, the Church of England was learning to accommodate itself to the altered circumstances of the times. In fact, if there in thisto aeco varyingm nio age.tite itf were no other reason for recommendi ng thi s Di ocesan Mission, there was this, that sue Chu rc h o f E ng l an d to e s vaenr yelasticvarying church, I rcll' and able circumstance Earl of Carnarvon, in moving the adoption of the report, while commending the parochial system, strongly advocated the missionary scheme, which had been called in as the handmaid of the church , with the full appro bation and authority both of the bishop and the parochial clergy. The Bishop of Oxford next addressed the meeting, and °welt with nmeh eloquence on the peculiar &erec tdeergee th ic ao e f the Apostolic m et Spirito poli io of preaching demanding reaehlng to the multit u d es in an esp ec i a l wherever they might be found assembled.

CORRESPONDENCE. [We do not hold ourselrei responsible for the opinions of our correspondents.] THE FRENCH CHINESE EXPEDITION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE DAILY TIMES. Sir,—A paragraph in your paper of Saturday is pregnant with importance to every European govern ment—to our own more especially. That paragraph is of four lines only, and runs thus :—" It is said that instructions given to Baron Gros by the French govern ment are to arrange the differences with China, and to return with the army to France as quickly as possible." That our blind and infatuated government will weigh it with the attention which its gravity deserves is ques tionable. They would rather shirk consequences than reason upon signs unmistakeable. But he is a shallow politician who cannot see, in those simple four lines, another link in the Imperial policy of the French ruler, inaugurated with his first assumption of regality. So far from French assistance being lent to chastise Chinese insult, it is, on the contrary, intended for the exclusive purpose of thwarting English operations. The junction had a double, latent purpose —that of lulling English suspicion as to French antagonism ; and, secondly, to frustrate us in the East so as to keep open a sore there that shall render necessary a military and naval force in those barbarian seas, thereby dividing our limited forces, and preventing their concentration here for home protection against Gallic designs that cannot be mistaken by idiotcy itself. Trifling as is the French contingent to our Chinese expedition, yet it cannot be spared from the six hundred thousand at home from which it has been severed ; on the contrary, after Baron Gros has exercised his best capabilities to stultify our operations in the Chi. nese affair, he is to use all dispatch to return his force to French soil and his ships to French har bours ! Is there an Englishman with a grain of poli tical sagacity within him who cannot see through the flimsy gauze thrown over an act that ought not to deceive even non-politic childhood ? And yet our selfish office-at-any-price Clovernment are hoodwinked by professions of amity of the greatest master of lying duplicity and open rascality that ever imposed on credu lity, non obstante the multiplied proofs he has given of his capability in the art of deception. Is it not obvious that his first object was to throw us off oar guard as to his belligerent intentions towards ourselves that prepa rations for our self-prorectien might be suspended ? Referring to another quotation in your own gape', what do we read—why "That the camp of Chalons is double the extent of that of last year ; that it is to be the largest camp yet established for military purposes ; the artillery will occupy a very large space ; the cavalry, likewise be more numerous," &c. Will our stupids at the helm, relying en ilqbelen's mercantile concoctions, and John Bright's festiau logic, pass these Om with apathetic indifference, or will . they propose to check mate ? shall see, lam no querulous terrorist, Mr. Editor, but if our legislators do not bear down the Cobden and Bright influence over the Miuistry we 4411 shortly, very shortly, I fear, be caught at a disadvantage, and we shall be carried to the verge of national destruc tion, when the forcible-feebles now forming the Govern ment will play the trick they are but too familiar with ; they will heat a cowardly retreat, leaving to Conserva tive successors the task of righting the ship, arranging the finances, putting things in settled order, find, when all is placed in a working groove, they will be prepared for again discharging the feathered arrow of "Reform" to overthrow the existing administration, and again resume office for further destructive aggressions on the Constitution. That any English government could be found weak enough to put t4e least confidence in Louis Napoleon, argues incapacity for office. Had we but one leading mind at the head of the Administration, capable of appreciating that astute parvenu on the one hand, and our position and safety on the other, we might have some hope of returning to earlier traditions, form European friendships, compact a firm coalition with continental Powers, and shake off the French incubus tb at is isolating us from every other Power, subduing in detail each of the aintinental nationalities, , and prepar ing for a period (I fear too OroTimate) Then it will become , a single-handed contest between him and our selves. I consider the present time to be a crisis with us calling for the boldest and best energies of our ablest statesman, and certainly for a very different government to that which is now frittering away our finances to propitiate a man whom no sacrifices anti courtesies of ours can divert from the purpose of Ms ag,grandisement and our humiliation. BROOXVALE. HEALTH OF LONDON. The return of the Registrar-General states that the deaths in London wer e ; 148 i in the week Out ended last Saturday, and exhibited a decrease on the number of the previous week, which was 1,407, In the ten years 1860.69 the average number of deaths in the week corresponding with last wsok WiLIO 1,Q73; but as the deaths in the present return occurred in an -increased population, they should be compared with the average raised in proportion to the inerease, namely, with 1,180. The comparison shows that the deaths of last week were more numerous by 104 than they would have been if the average rate of mortalisy For th 9 _middle of April had prevailed, Thoi,igh the mean temperature of the .air was rather higher than that •pf the previous week, the weather , continued cold, and was remarkably cold on the last three days. In the last two weeks bronchitis has declined from 208 deaths to 167 ; pneumonia, from 116 to 73 ; but phthisis continued fatal last week, the deaths from it being 181, while the corrected average is 154. Whopping-cough was fatal to 61 children, the corrected average being 6Q. The deaths from scarlatina were 26 ; those from diphtheria 11; --of which three occurred in k 1 a anti-district of Plninstead. Those from meas les rose to 33. Small7poti was rettpi l ed 2Q cases, 14 of which occured to children, and 6 to adults. Medical informants are requested to return in all cases the primary as well as the secondary disease. Thus, when small-pox is followed by a secondary disease, the small pox should be returned as the primary eause. Of 13 deaths from suffocation returned last week, 11 were those of infants suffocated in the bedclothes. Three infants were murdered or died from neglect. Seven deaths were from burns. Of b Persow who died from their clothes taking fire, one was a spinster, aged 22 years; another was a man who had been a banker's clerk, aged 80 years ; a third the son of a mason's labourer, aged 4 years; a fourth the son of a leather finisher, aged 2 years ; a fifth the daughter of a solicitor, 10 years ; and the sixth the son of a soldier, 6 years. Also a child was scalded by upsetting a saucepan. A photographic artist poisoned himself with cyanide of potassium, an instrument of death to which persons of that; profession, with suicidal intention, seem not seldom to resort.. Last week the births of 923 boys and 834 girls, is all 1,767 children, were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1850-59 the average number was 1,685. HARBINGERS OF SPRING. Numbers of swallows were seen .in this neighbourhood on Thursday last, but they have appeared ill at home during the snow blasts with which we have been visited since that time. The " wandering yoicev of the cuckoo was heard on Sunday in the vicinity of Dinton—somewhat before the time, it would appear.—Wiltshire Jfirrpr. DREADFUL MURDER AT HULL.-111 very dreadful attempt at murder has been mule in Hull, by a soldier belonging to the 211th Regiment. The following is the official account made to the police authorities .—,Tane Burnham, a cooper's wife, residing in Darley's-court, New George-street, states that she heard a scuffle in the house of Ann Sleight, a few minutes after eleven o'clock; and immediately afterwards she heard Elizabeth Ailit Packer, who resides there with her mother, call out " Murder!? grs. Burnham then opened her own door, and saw Thomas Kirkwood, a soldier, belonging to the 29th Regiment of Foot, attempting to get away from Mrs. Parker, whose hands were covered with bl oo d, and who had hold of him. Being very much afraid, Mrs. Burnham closed her door, and Kirk wood made his escape into the street, where he was a few minutes afterwards followed by Mrs. Burnham, who raised an alarm. Mr. Macmillan, a surgeon, happened to be passing at the time, and he was called in and found that Elizabeth Ann Parker's throat had been cut on the left side, about five - or six inches. Other medical assistance yfaa called in, but the iii;fortu nate woinan died in the course of the evening. Kirk wood was afterwards apprehended, sitting on some steps on the Spring Bank, partly in a state of intoxication. No cause has yet been ascertained for Kirkwood com mitting this deed. MORE BRAMWELLIANA.—The London correspondent of the Afanchester Examiner gives publicity to an anecdote now in current circulation, with respect to an incident which occurred at her Majesty's Theatre on the evening of last Saturday week. On the evening in question, the learned Baron 'Bramwell occupied, with his daughter, seats in the pit stalls. Behind him were " two gentlemen—one of whom we will for our purpose call Mr. Blank. In the course of the per formance Mr. Blank had occaftiou to place Bole remarks 0 his fFiend. Perhaps he spoke rather loudly. I can't say hoW this was, but at any rate it did not justify the learned baron in turning round and rudely exclaim ing, "Be quiet, sir !" nor in repeating, after a short interval, " Hold your tongue, you ruffian !" At a future period of the evening Mr. Blank followed the learned judge into one of the lobbies, and demanded an imme diate apology. " I don't know the meaning of the word," says Judex. " Then' take that," says Blank, iiippir4;" the other on the face with his glove. Ton will hardly, I Tear, i n t h ese d ays Q f pugilism, be surprised to hear that the learned person, upon this, hit out straight with his left, and that Mr. Blank caught it heavily on the shoulder. Fully sensible of the inconve nience and disgrace of a fracas in such a place—(of which, by the way, he might have bethought himself before he used his glove)—Mr. Blank left the opera with the intention, as he said, of writing to the pugilistic magistrate for an apology. Ido not hear that he lila got' one, and, indeed, he is htu:dly likely to do so. It is, as matters stand, perhaps six of one 414 1141f-u:doz,en of the other. But then, in matters of courtesy, of peaceful ness Of demeanour, and of actual respect for the Queen's peace, it is not enough for a judge to be sts good as, anyone else. MISCELLANEOUS. The Royal College of Physicians has at length deter mined to grant licenses to general practitioners. The Emperor of Austria has sent 200 gold ducats (2,370 f.) for the subscription in favour of Nuerni Trochu, great-grand-daughter of Racine. The frigate Isis has just left Brest for`New Caledonia with troops. She carries out the military commandant of that colony, which forms a separate Government from that of the French establishments of Oceania. The Belgian journals state that the works of the forti fications of Antwerp are being continued steadily Upwards of 500 men are now occupied at Austruweel, and an equal number on another point. Mr. Munyard, sen., of Woolwich, who was employed during the Crimean war to assist in the purchase of horses for the War Department, has just returned from a six weeks' tour in Yorkshire, Leicestershire, and the midland counties, where he accompanied au agent of the French Government, on whose behalf 800 of the finest horses procurable have been purchased and shipped. THE RUSSIAN LOAN.—Letters from Berlin state that arrangements for a Russian loan are alleged to have been effected with Messrs. Baring, of London, and Hope, of Amsterdam, and that the amount is to be 50,000,000 roubles, or rather more than £8,000,000. It is not known if this is to be an entirely new loan, or if the suns consists in whole or in part of loans formerly announced but not yet placed. An extraordinary affair is related in the Russian journals. Prince Nesvitzky was some years ago mur dered by his servant, who possessed himself of his papers and fortune, and assuming filename of the prince, travelled abroad for some years, living in b ossed style. Afterwards returning, he married a wealthy heiress, named Sokoloff, and had by her several children. Recently, his impos ture, was discovered, and lie has been sent to the mines of Siberia; but the Ru=sian government has authorised the children and the wife to continue to bear the name of Nesvitzky. THE POOR SwasLows.A number of persons assem bled the day before yesterday near the new Square of the Innocents, Paris, watching the movements of a large flock of swallows which was flying about apparently in great bewilderment, and uttering cries of distress. Since their flight at the beginning of the winter, in search of a more genial clime, all the wooden sheds which formed the old market, and under the eaves of which they had been in the habit of finding shelter, have been demolished, and the poor travellers on their return were at a loss where to find other quarters. Trfg ETCOND4INICATION.---The Ctli?zio!ie of Turin, which generally indulges In more learned lecling articles than the other Journals of that city, in its number of the 19th, discusses the validity of the excommunication as regards Savoy, and arrives at the conclusion that it is null and void even in the eye of the canon law. It remarks that the legal consequence of an excommunica tion, if not followed by the repentance of the culprit before the exniration of a year, is the stove, and tlic,t, therefore, if' the excommunication were valid, eleven millions of Italians would have to be roasted alive this time next year. BANQUETTING AT NICH.—M. Pietri gave a grand dinner at Nice on the 19th instant, at which covers were laid for forty. Among the guests present were the governor, the syndic, the bishop, the presidents of the different courts, the eqnsmandant of the Ciarhineers, general Thiele, President of the Society of the Bearers of St. Ifelena Medals ; MM.

Quard, ftc. At the dessert Af. Lubonis, the Governor, proposed as a toast "France and the Emperor Napoleon 111. !" which was drank with loud acclamations. M. Pietri replied iu appropriate terms,: and proposed " King Victor Emmanuel and Italy !'' Other toasts followed; and the evening was spent the most perfect cordiality.

How COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS ARE TREATED IN THE UNITED STATES.—Advices from the United States refer to a most extraordinary law which prevails in the south against commercial travellers, and with whi . 3ll it is essential English firms should . be aoquaintea. Any traveller ventUrinc , to Well or to make contracts from sample, must take out a license costing £6; - and not merely obtain the recommendation of two citizens, but also give bonds to the amount of £6OO that he " will notinterfere in the institution of the state."'" This is according to the statutes of South caroliro, and analqMs prohibitions prevail generally' In the stkve states. The pelialty for infringement is a file of £4OO, or siz mouths' imprisonment. It i s strictly enforced, and any commercial agent either from the north or from foreign countries immediately finds himself exposed to a hostile supervision which renders business impracticable. The mention of the fact, apart from the trouble it may save to merchants or manufacturers sending agents to America, will be useful as a further illustration of the ignorance of cratcys aceustomed at jarae nieetings in mant.facturing towns to assltre our Operative classes 044 the ollier side of the Atlantic is the only region to which they must• look for the independence of labdur and the absence of narrow and depressing restrictions,* TAB PATAL BOAT ACCIDENT ON THE RIVER LEA.- I:l3odies BOAT fOu ant i c:tuna e youths who were drowned in the river Lea, at Lea-bridge, on Saturday evening, by their boats coming into collision, were on Monday identified by their relatives. Their names, as we have already stated, are Henry Clempsom aged 17, of Elizabeth-place, Balls-pond ; George Taylor, aged 16, of Maberley-place, Barnsburi : road; .John Bishop, aged 16, of SC 4nnts Cottage, POrthrnd-placte, Clapham ; and Win. 0. Raven, aged 10, of Spencer-street, Clerken . well. They were respectably connected, and held situations in merchant's offices in the City. Raven was the only son of a widow lady. The first three-named unfortunate lads were in a boat they had hired at Wicks. They had not been out long, and were returning down the river, near the bridge, as the boat i n w hi c h were R aven and twoi other youths, named Harben and Cook, was being bronght slowly round to the bankside of pay's, where they had engaged her. It is stated that they were hailed to alter their course, but it would seem that they did, not'hear the cries, and the stem of the boat passed coin , pletely over the stem of, the boat which was pointed in towards the shore. The latter craft immediately began to ship nitich water, and, in their fright, the occupants scrambled into the boat which had come in contact with them. The boat being only capable of containing three or four persons, the sudden addition, coupled with the way in which they got in, caused wa t er to flow in over her gunwales, and in a few minutes she began to sink. Harben and Cook, perceiving that the boat was going, at once jumped out, and swam for the shore. Harben reached the river bank, and Cook was picked up. Of the other poor fellows, however, little is known. It warred late in the harp of th e mains., and when !pats put off' from the shore nothing could be seen of them. Their bodies were reeovered in the course of a quarter of an hour or so, but life was quite eittinct in all crises, A PICTURE.—A wide plain, where the broadening, Floss hurries on between its green banks to the sea, and the loving tide, rushing to meet it, checks its passage with an impetuous embrace. On this mighty tide the black ships—laden with the fresh-scented fir-planks, with rounded sacks of oil-bearing seed, or with the dark glitter of coal—are borne along to the town of St. Ogg's, which shows its aged, fluted red roofs and bree d d gables of its wharyes betw een th e legs wooded" hill an the river brink, tinging the • water with a soft purple hue under the transient glance of this February sun. Far away on each hand stretch the rich pastures and the patches of dark earth, made ready for the seed of broad-leaved green crops, or touched already with the tint of the tender-bladed autumn sown corn. There is a remnant still of the last year's golden clusters of beehive ricks rising at intervals beyond the hedgerows ; and everywhere the 4edgezows Are studded with trees : the diatant ships seem to be lifting their masts and stretching their red-brown sail close among the branches of the spreading ash. Just by the red-roofed town the tributary Ripple flows with a lively current into the Floss. How lovely the little river is, with its dark, changing wavelets! It seems to me like a living companion while I wander along . the bank and listen to #s low placid voice, as to the voice of one ,who is dear And loving. I remember these large dipping willows. I remember the stone bridge. And this is Dorlcote Mill. I must stand a minute or two here on the bridge and look at it, though the clouds are threatening, and it is tar on in the afternoon. Even in this leafless time cif departing February it is plea sant to look at—perhaps the chill damp season adds a charm to the trimly-kept, comfortable dwelling house, as old as the elms and chestnuts that shelter it from the northern blast. The stream is brimful now, and lies high in this little withy plantation, and half drowns the grassy fringe of the croft in front of the house. ' As I look at the full stream, the vivid grass, the delicate bright green powder softening the outline of the great trunks and, branches that gleam from under the bate purple boughs, I am in love with moistness, and envy the white ducks that are dipping their heads far into the water here among the withes ' unmindful of the awkward appearance they make in the drier world above. The rush of the water, and the booming of the mill, bring a dreamy deafness, which seems to heighten the peacefulness of the scene. They are like a great curtain of sound, shutting one out from the world beyond. And now there is the thUnder of the bilge covered waggon coming home with sacks of grain. That honest waggoner is thinking of his dinner, getti ng sadly dry in the oven at this late hour ; but he wilt not touch it till he has fed his horses,—the strong, stibtnis sive, meek-eyed beasts, who, I fanny, are looking mild reproach at him from betsiTccn their blinkers, that ho should crack his whip at them in that awful manner, as jf they needed that hint! See hold they stretch their shoulders up the slope towards the bridge, with all the more energy because they are so near home. look at their grand shaggy feet, that seem to grasp the firm earth, at the patient strength of their necks bowed under the heavy collar, at the mighty mnseles of their struggling haunches should like well to haar them neigh over their hardly-earned feed of corn, and see them, with their moist necks freed from the harness, dipping their eager nostrils into the muddy pond. Now they are on the bridge, and down they go again at a swifter pace, and the arch of the covered wagon disap pears at the turning behind the trees. Noy I • can turn my eyes towards the mill again, and watch the unresist ing wheel sending cut its azinlonct jets of water. That little girl is wataing it too ; she has been standing on just the same spot at the edge of the water ever since I paused on the bridge. And that queer wbite, cur, with the' brown ear, seems t o , be leapingand barking in ineffectual remonstrance with I,4e..wilea ; =perhaps, he is jealOus, because hi playfellow in the beaver bonnet is so cwt in its movement. • It is time the little play fellow went in, I 'think ; 'and • there is a, very bright fire to : tempt her;, the r e d li g ht shines out under 4. 1 1. e 'steeped lug sky.

He had his money, in his pocket, and there is no resaon to think he had met foul play.

The report showed an • increase of success during , the past year in the education of the pupils, but stated that the !ands had considerably fallen off. There were at present 50 pßpils in the school, who were taught reading, Writing, His t ory, geography, masio, and worsted work. The industrial arts, such as brush, basket, and mat making, were- also taught, and many former pupils were able to earn an independent income in these departments. In music, also, She pro. I ficiency of several had been so great as to procare-for them good engagements. The income of the society was stated to he totally inadequate to its requirements, being only 4500 in donations and about 4350 in annual sub scriptions, and an appeal was made for increased sympathy and support. A selection of music from Handel, Mozart, and Mendelssohn was admirably per. formed by the pupils, under the direction of Mr. Barnes. The meeting was addressed by the Rev. S. Minton, Mr. H. Harwood, the Rev. Mr. 'Veitch, and other friends of the society. AN AsinnicsN STEAN CORVETTE.—The new steam corvette Pawnee, now in course of completion at the Ehiladelphia Navy-yard, is nearly ready for sea, and will make her first trial trip next week. The model of this beautiful vessel is both new and novel, She is much sharper than any United States' vessel ever built, and instead of, having dead rise, like all other vessels of war, the bilge is below the base line. Her chief dimen sions are as follow :—Extreme length over all, 240 feet; on line of main deck, 233 feet ; beam, 47 feet ; dis placement of load line, 10 feet; tons burden, '1,533; indicated horse-power, I,IQO, to be developed by two screws of 9 , r , feet in diameter each, with a pitch of 17 feet ; when the engines make forty revolutions, the propeller will make 100. There are two boilers, each `24 feet front ; 10 feet deep, 11 feet high, and have 280 square feet of grate surface, with 6,800 feet of heating surface. The machinery and boilers are made in a sub stantial manner, and weigh altogether 268 tons. Her armament consists of four Dahlgsen shell guns; two of the four which she is to carry weigh with their carriages 11 tons each, and carry shells weighing 001b.---Neir York Courier and Inquirer. THE ASSOCIATION IN AID OF THE DEAF AND DUMB. —.The annual meeting of this association was held at Willis's-rooms on Tuesday. In the absence of the Bishop of London, who sent a letter of apology, the chair was taken by the Duke pf Marlborough, who briefly advocated the claims of the association, as taking up the objects of it s b enevo l ence at t h e critical age when they left the institutions for deaf and dumb children, and endeavouring to provide for them the means of nib sistence, and also of religious instruction. The income of the association for, the past year was shown by the report to be only £432, of which £389 had been wended. Mr. Shirley Wooliner moved.thi, adoption of the report, calling the attention of the meeting to the fact that there were, according to the last census returns, 17,000 deaf and dumb in Great Britain, of whom about 1,700 were resident in London, and Were the special objects of the care of the associati on , w hi c h was t h e only one in London to which an adult deaf and dumb person could turn for assistance. - He was convinced it was not generally known, or it , would be better sup ported. Professor Owen moved a resolution pledging the meeting to use every exertion to obtain increased support for the association; which needed, he said, no eloquence to commend it ; for, though the objects of its care were dumb they spoke so as to excite 'sympathies which ought to vibrate throughout the country, and the association was as far as possible practically repeating some of the miracles of the Saviour, who made the deaf to hear and the dumb to speak. Tip RELIEVING OFFICER.—A relieving officer, with all his tact and knowledge of character, cannot always get at the truth. My entrance into a street is tele graphed from one end to the otbes, much more quickly than I can walk the d,i,s 4 i£Tee. Like the. rabbits do* these little urchins dart into their own particular bur rows, no doubt informing the stay-at-horge of the stranger's presence. Perhaps my errawl is to visit a family who had applied to me a few hours before, stating that there was nothing in the house to eat.

SELF ABSOLUTION.—Our readers Will be amused with the question suggested by "A Priest," in a letter to the editor of the Union :—" ABSOLUTION. —Can a priest administer ab so l u ti on t o himself ?

The fire was extinguished, and she was conveyed to the hospital, but she gradually sank and expired: Verdict, accidental death. A CURIOUS MUSICAL Box.—At a concersac;one of the Institution of Engineers in Scotland,. held in Glasgow on Tuesday evening, Mr. W. C. Shaw, Buchanan -street, exhibited a unique musical box, in the form of a gold snuff-box, which, when set e-going, attracted considerable attention. A little bird sprung out, moved aboutquite life-like, whistled a favourite tune, and then vanished out of sight, the lid shutting down upon it as at first. The mechanism is iu 400 pieces, and is of Swiss work manship.—Glasgow Herald..

It includes 71 companies of ear bineers, or About 7,000 men, all the best shots in a country where. every one has his rifle and practices, Only those who have proved themselves to be superior is the others are accepted in this body, which, in its speciality, has probably n o equa l anywhere else.

FRENCH CREW SAVED BY AN 'ENGLISH SHIP. ---The "John. Masterman, government emigrant ship, just reports that when in the Channel, let. 49 deg. 17 seo., ton g ,A 'deg. 8 sec. W., i n a ga l e, she sighted the Frencles schooner Fred er i c k Gustave, from aardeAux, i n a sink ing condition; h er lialwarli-s, boats, and port staunchions having been washed away. The Captain writes, "That in conseivence of the heavy sea he dare not for some time lowbr a boat, but at last he risked it, and his life- boat was safely lowered by Clifford's patent gear,- mid was clear in one roll of the ship, and thus saved Capt. Title, four men, and a boy, from perishing." This case affords another proof' of the good that must follow all ships having a ready means 0,1 safely lowering the boats on board. The proyincial papers continue to report the depar ture. c,f Dirge numbers of the Irish peasanti7 for America. A Sliga journal, for instance, says :—"Emigluits are leaving this port by th e s t eamers for Liverpool us great numbers.

THE Cosvicrt (G ills Ariltots.—The capital sen / tence pasad upon, Charles Annois, a Brazilian sailor, at the. Oeutral Criminal Court, in October, 1859, for %kg ' murder of the master of the barque Margaret, on the Tome from Lisbon to England, has been reapited during her Majesty's pleasure, .

The result of that inq u i r y , which has beP made throuf, , ,li his Excellency th e C oun t L aeradisi, Portuguese minister at this court, is such as to confirm the statements which gave rise to it ; and as there is thus good reason to believe that the prisoner was in a state of insanity when he committed the murder, the Queen has been advisee} to remit the capit a l punish ment, and he will be doult with in such manner as his condition and the circumstances of his case may, upon further consideration, seem to require. THE FIGHT FOR THE CHAMPIO NSHIP... ---The L ae z on correspondent of the A r eu , Prussian Ga;eett writes as follows :—" For some days past. he whole of England, so to say, has occupied itself with a boxing match, and although 'dukes of royal bl oo d* may no longer shake hands with the boss;, and illust r i ous lords may no longer boast of theis intimate acquaintanceship with pugilists, such as notoriously w as th e case in the l ast century, nevertheless the interest all take in the matter shows how 'national' this methodical thrashing, this bloody thumping according to definite rules, s till i s i n England.

The day after the fight, the Home Secretary was again questioned in Parliament whether he would now cause the participators in the fighting, legally pros hibite:d, to he punished. But Sir George Lewis is an Englishman first and then a minister—s o he again gave an evasive answer." GALLANTLIFE-11QAT Senvicr..—.-Telossatourir, April 19.—About half-past on e o ' c l ock this morning, when: the wind was blowin g fresh from the E.N.E., it being at the time very d ar k, l oud cries for help we hoard seaward by one o f t h e men belonging to the coast-guard. Immediately a n a l arm was given to muster the crew of the life-boat of the National Life -boat Institution; and; with a promptitude most credit able to the gallant crew, they were quickly at their post. Everything being ready, as usual, for instants- - neons service in the life-boat holise, the life-boat was at once 14111104 d, and proceeded in the direction whence the cries of distress came. A pistol was fired from the life-boat which was responded to by cries from those in distress. The life-boat's anchor was then dropped, and she was veered down to the scene of danger. Here they found the smack Wonder, of this port, sunk, with the sea breaking violently over her—her crew, John and Samuel Basset, in the rigging, They were found much exhausted, and were forthwith taken on board the life-boat, and safely brought by her to land. This is the second crew of wrecked vessels this valuable life-boat has been instrumental in rescuing from a watery grave during the present year. It was only the week before last that the crew of nine men, of the brig Nancy, of Teignmouth, were a l so rescued from an inevitable death by the Lytham life-boat, belonging to the National Lifeeboat Institution. Tiffs IiaIIYNXOSCOPE.—The arrival of Dr. Czermak from Pesth, whence be had been fraternally summoned by the French Academy of Medicine, is considered an event in medical annals. Dr. Czermak is a professor of physiology, whose recent discovery of an instrument whereby 'the larynx may b e su ffi ciently lighted for medicalinspection has obtained great applause all over the Continent. This instrument, which he calls the larynxoscope, has been on trial for the last few days in, every,, hospital in Patis, and has suc cee d e d perfectly. Every disease to which the human throat as subject will heneeforth be rendered as clear as noon day to the surgical operator, and the weaknesses and failings of the human voice are alike made manifestliy the fiood, of light which is poured into the patient's throat by aid of a concave mirror reflecting the rays of a strong lamp before which the patient is seated with open ro.outh, and the introduction into the cavity of the throat on a line with the tonsils of a small mirror attached to a long wire which the' operator holds while the examination is going forward. This little mirror being held on an inclined plane of 45 degrees, every organ is made visible on the larger one. Even the trachea is perfectly reflected thus, as far down as its bifurcation in the bronchia. The interior of the larynx, until now completely hidden in the living substance, can be examined with the greatest minuteness, and for the first time the whole meehanism of the human voice becomes manifest to the sight, Dr. Czermak was received with much congratulation, as f utu being.re, the bearer of good tidi ngs of the possibility, in of mastering many diseases of the throat which have hitherto eseaped all sur gical - pursuit.—Paril Letter. ---- Hans-MADE SHIRTS.--Nonct.--All Shirts made to' order at b the Golden Glove E s t a blishAbt, IS, Berry-street, , are made y Liverpool Needlewomen. d QtACEMRT thiMAIZED. ;, Its extortions, impositions, and deceptions fully oxposed.
