A preliffinary meeting of the burge.sses and rate elers of Liverpool, -. to - tale into — considetatien the desirability of memorialising the mayor to till a public meeting on the subject of the proposed town iniprove ments, was held yesterday in the tlar;indon-rooms,' South John.street. rat attendance was very numerous, comprising intifiy of the leading tradesmen from various pat of the town. Mr, Bairstow was voted to the'chair. In opening the meeting he said they all felt an interest in th town improvements, as they were subjectz 'dr great importance. They all knew that impreticitients were wanted, and they also knew that a Plan had been proposed to remedy in a great Intelistire the defects complained of.; He thought, h6*ever,,aud he had no doubt the meeting agreed . with him, that the scheme 6f improvement should be sub mitted to the ratepayers, so that they could say whether some other plan might not' be more desirable, arid more worthy the public expenditure. He prestimedthat_they were All in favour of iniproiements, 10 they had met tegther simply to consider the desirability of memorial ising the Mayor' to pOstpone the adoption' of the plan recently suggested until the ratepayers have had an opportunity of expressing their opinion on the stibject. He felt sure that the Mayor would comply with the request of the meeting, and call the ratepayers together. When that had.been done, if the scheme proposed by the Council met with approval, the hands of its pro moters would be strengthened and opposition silenced. It .was for the meeting to say whether they thought the : Mayor should be memorialised upon the subject.• c . A memorial had been drawn up which he would call upon Mr. Boult to read. Mr. BOULT then read the following memorial:— TO THE :liPop,sinriut TH,E MATO& This requisition of the undersigned litirge Asks and Ratepayers of the - Borouin of Liverpool Very respectfully, showeth, —That the' undersigned have heard that the town council have under their consideration the propriety of removing Teolif the TOWn-hall the establishment of the mayir, the town-clerk, and, other corporate officials, and of ebncentrating the whole of the Istblientliceli in Dale , street; and also of adopting an, extensive Kik= of public improvements. That the undersigned, if. it can he droved, as stated, that such a removal would be accompanied by ec nomy in. salaries and conveaitrice to the generitl publiq, can have no objection to the proposed removal, consid ring the very high late of local taitation, Which in many instances amounts to 35 per cent.; but the undersigned consider that the funds necessary for the erection of such offices can bo properly and legiti mately supplied from the capital fund of the corporate estlte, as the building will continue to be much corporate property as the press n'. Sessions House and Bridewc 1. .That the undersigned are by no means 'averse to any ex penditure which is absolutely required for the welfare and con.venienee of the townsfolk, and of strangers frequenting the town; but having regard to the heavy taxation imposed for remedying , the sanitary evils occasioned by the neglect-of former inhabitants, and the sources of .very.grievous expendi ture in the Rivington Water Works:and in the vicinity of St. George's-hall, which are till open. they are of opinion that no further liabilities of the like nature 'should be incurred at present, unless an ur_ent necessity can be•shown, especially as the benefits derivable from the expenditure of the increased taxation to which the existing, body of the ratepayers are. exposed, as Well as those from the proposed Public (ACC'S and improvements, will -be less available to those at whose cost they will be provided, if erected ouVof income, than to future inhabitants. The undersigned, therefore, most respectfully request that your worship will be pleased to convene a,public meeting of the burgesses and ratepayers fer the pirpose of adopting such proceedings relative to the proposed Public Offices and im provements as to that meeting may appear fit, and that you will also be pleased to suggest, to the council of the borough that any further proceedings upon the subjects referred to should be suspended by them 'until the burgesses and rate payers have had the opportunity of giving or withho ding ro their appval of the expenditure involved in the adoption of the schemes proposed. , ' ' • • Mr. HARRIsON moved the adoption of the memorial. heartily ,sympathising with the subject, And, cordially agreeing with the spirit of the petition, he felt great pleasure in moving its adoPtion., If any of them had a shop to let, the first question which the purchaser asked was " what are the charges upon it and it must be evident that an increase of taxation meant a reduction in rent to the owner,—the latter circumstance besides burtheningthe tenant would entail considerable loss upon the Owner of the property. He - Oinked the gentlemen Who had:called the pfeserit meeting; for an infinity was thus begun into the useless and, extravagant expendi ture' which would be necessary to carry out the con templated improvements. Within the, last few years Liverpool had had a municipal spenge—St. pe9rge's hall—which even now continues' to be a mast costly ornament. . With this staring them in the face they were' now proposing to spend" an enormous'. sum for new Public-offices. The- ratepayers were already shackled - with a three-halfpenny tax, and there was every prospect that it would soon be raised to 3d. As local taxation is yearly increasing, it behoves the rate pa.y rs'tb stand by each other, and resist any unnecessary' expenditure. No one: would think of opposing any judicious improvement, but let it' be paid for of the' revenue. It had been said that - a considerable saving 'would be effected by centralising the. business in:Dale-. street; but the same thing had been said when the Cornwallis-street offices were opened, and it was now seen how false that supposition had turned out. Mr. ROBERTSON seconded the motion. He believed that the - proposed scheme was too expensive, and that the offices could be erected for about £30,000. Mr. O. EwAuer wished to know from , the chairman whether this petition was intended to oppose the erec tion of new offices. He thought new offices most desir-, able; but he agreed with the other gentlemen in saying that the proposed scheme was too expensive. The - Cna - zumtakr explained_ that. the present meeting was merely a preliminary one. At the general public meeting the ratepayers would be at liberty to express their opinion on the plan. Mr. SCHOFIELD believed that the memorial fully expressed the sentiments of the ratepayers. If Mr.. Ewart would look over the amount of taxes he has paid during the last few years, he would probably alter his opinion: If a borough rate were once commenced, no one knew where it would end. He thought that there were plenty of facilities in Cornviallis-street for enlarg ing and improving the present offices. The motion was then put and carried unanimously. Mr. HOBBS nominated a committee of sixteen to wait • upon the Mayor. A vote of thanks to the chairman terminated• the proceedings. THE BISHOP OF LONDON AND ST. GEORGE'S-IN-THE EAST.--The Bishop of London has refused to license the Rev. Thomas Dove Dove, M.A., of Emmanuel College, Cambridge, to the curacy of St. George's-in-the-East, to which he was nominated by the Rev. Bryan King, the rector. Mr Dove was for some time curate to the Rev. W. J. E. Bennett, vicar of Frome, and joined Mr. King about three months since. During the interven ing time he has been assisting Mr. King in the services of St. George's, but not as a licensed curate. STEAM BOILER EXPLOSIONS.—The executive com mittee of the association for the prevention of steam boiler explosions held a meeting on Tuesday at Man- chester. Their report said :—" We have made 181 visits, and examined 466 boilers, and 353 engines. 0. these six visits have been special ; and nine boilers have been specially, 429 externally, 11 internally, and 26 thoroughly examined, 13 cylinders have been indicated at ordinary visits. The principal defects met with during the month are as follow : Fracture, 8 (two dangerous); corrosion, 20 (six dangerous) ; safetyvalves out of order, 23 ; water gauges ditto, 11; pressure gauges ditto, 5 ; blow-off cocks ditto, 7 ; fusible plugs ditto, 4 ; surnaces out of shape, 10 ; total 8S (eight dangerous). Boilers without glass water-gauges, 22 ; ditto pressure gauges, 3; ditto blow-off cocks, 17 ; ditto back pressure valves, 61. The other defects are of the ,Ordinary character, such as leakages from bad joints, causing slight corrosion, unequal expansion and contraction, faulty modes of seating, and the injudicious , flell+e - ty of feed water in a cold state." Mr. HarnisnOlie chief inspector of the association, writes.' as foll o w s regard to the well working of this and similar insti tutions, various- opinions . will always. exist as to the mode of carrying out their objects but, in my opinion, the success that has attended ours ut partioular in tbei prevention • of accidents,. fully entit o l f es th i g t se to wha tb s e e i p u r pp iva o t r e t of all users of ste am power', even a n p c e h n a r e a n c r t ter operationsas t o r e n r t a h rr e a m ng l e em me d n e ts pe a h e d e e o n f t days ago three little thanSo niothers girls' wh"e age Norton, at the JUVENILE O F FENDERS AND REFORMA::::;T:Ionut ten years, were brought before Mr. when Lambeth it w r es o 1 i s c h e 0 - c w o n u r tt,h that t n t he varioustheir mothers,charges tw e o dr f n el n o k ny, and dissipated women, residi n g i n the vicinity of Kent en street, were in the habit of sending th e m out toplunder, and received everything they stole.

The benevolent intentions of his worship, as will be seen by the following commun ication, have been frustrated, and nothing, it is•feared, is left to the poor little wretches who were its objects, but t o be turned into the streets again and recommence their career of crime:—" House of. Correction, Wandsworth common, April 23..—" Sir.—With reference to the three little girls,- Eliza Wood, Emma Major, •and Margaret Hawkins, committed by you. on Saturday last for three weeks, and to be sent to a reformatory school for four years, I am directed by the visiting justices of this prison to inform you, with their very great regret, that they are unable to. point out to you any certified reformatory school to which they can be sent. Th e visiting justices have an agreement with the Rescue Society for the admission of girls into their reformatory school at Hampstead as vacancies occur, hut that school (which is the only one certified under the 19th and 29th of Victoria, cap. 169, in London or the neigh bourhood) is so full that it can take no more of our prisoners at present, and have already declined to take Hannah Reynolds, committed by you on the 11th of February last. Efforts have been made to get the girl admitted into a reformatory school in the country, but without effect, and she must be returned to her home. adeav ours will be made to place the three girls above named in some uncertified school, at the expense of the Surrey Society, and great hopes are entertained that on the bases of that society a certified reformatory school honour ONSLOW, Governor.—To the iloq.

In the:course of the prooeedingS the folloWing extraordinaiy defeiieb of th' ,- ; insittiitiet. of slavery wad delivered t,..,j• "The Rev. George F. Kettell said that the real .queition was aS•to the" change of discipline, and that was; based on the question as to the right of slavery. Wa'p slavery a sin to: such an extent that a man should bo excommunicated for holding slaves ? Now, if it was a sin to hold slaves, there was no alternative; they must cut it off, root and branch: Yet, brethien *ho said it was a sic, "objected to the instant abolition of slavery: ;to*, the whole question • was, slaVeq a .sin or not ?! There •Was a ,gteat deal of pious rbetotic and sentimentalism spent on this *theme. Slavery was Called sinful, bedatise evils grow out of it. He denied it was necessarily a sin. There were many evila growing out of the marriage relation in the present imperfect state .of society, but Marriage Was not sinful per se. "The Bishop reminded the brAer that he was 'not speaking to the question: "Many %51.004—Let him go on ; we like to hear him! "Mr. Kettell continued—The Sabbath also was made the occasion of riot and debauchery, but who would dare to Say the Sabbath was a sinful institution? The old 'ad;;tge, that the world owed every man a living,. was nonsense ; every .man owed the world his labour ; and if ;a race would not work, men were right to exact labour by force. This principle . was understood and cafried out at the North in our vagrant and wOrkhouie systems. -The qUestion with' us was not whether we would adopt such a system,. but whether its adoption was a sin '' _worthy of excommunication. All the rhetoric expended abOut people owning the bodiei and souls of slaves was nonsense.. The, Southerners only owned 'the right to make their slaves work, and to convey them from one place to another to make them do so. At Athens and Rome the bodies and souls were owned, but in our days slavesmere.treated with kindness, and. cruelty to them was punished severely., Slavery, as it now existed, was not a sin. The 'question was, whether they should let loose 4,000,000 of paupers upon the world ? He depicted the natural degradation of the negro race, and insisted that they were best off as at present. The negro in the West Indies was incapable of taking care of himself. Emancipation had, blighted one-half of the finest of the Antilles. This was proved incontestably. 'Toussaint rpuverture discerned the evils of freedom to the blacks, and established the famous " Rural Code,' with the intent to finally enslave all his race. Go where yOu would in our own north, and the' negroes'were an idle set. If slavery had degraded the negro, why didn't freedom elevate him ? He affirmed most eniphatically, that under God's providence, slavery in. America had been the only thing which had elevated the negro race, and he was a bold man who would dare deny it! In morals; health, and civilisation, the slaves were far above the free negroes. Many statistics were give,n to show this. Mr. Wesley was often quoted as having said that American slavery was the vilest system under the sun' Mr. Wesley must' have been blinded by prejudice, or he would never made such a remark. Folks said we were ‘cottenised' It was a blessed thing for us thews were. The wealth flowing to us from the southern cotton crop alone kept alive our institutions and so-called eleVation. The speaker here went on to contrast the products of the - south and of the north, finding an enormous ratio in favour of the latter, and ending with the ,conclusion that we were the ones who were . actually deriving the most . benefit from the institution of slavery. Didn't his brethren love coffee and sugar, and, he was sorry to Say, tobacco ? Did they ever think of abolishing slavery by giving up slave products ? ; It was something very curious to - so a brother get up and make an anti-slavery speech, with a cotton shirt on his back, and tobacco in his mouth. (Great laughter.) If slaiery was 'a relic of barbarism,. lwas because the negroes were . barbarians ; all this talk about their being equal with us he didn't believe a word of ! 'Twas,all nonsense and . sophistry. AttomptOo alter southern institutions by such talk made him think of the , European rival Great Barre,' and Little Raire.'-- --The people in the latter place built- , a lofty ; steeple, with a wonderful clock in it, looking toward the rival village, from which the semblanCe of a human countenance loomed forth and made faces at Great Barre whenever the clock struck the hour of the day. This was what we were engaged in doing—making faces at the south, and he didn't think it was very dignified, or that it would result. in much hi 'the end. (Great merriment and onfusion.)" FIELD-LANE- RAGGED SCHOOLS AND THE REFUGES-,FOR THE HOMELS.. The annual meeting of this charitable institution has been held at St. Martin's-hall. The Right Hon. the Earl of Shaftesbury, president of the institution, occu pied the chair ; and on the platform with him were the Bishop of Ripon, Lord H. Cholmondeley, Sir J. Lawrence; Bart., X.C.8., with several of the London clergymen and dissenting ministers, aud one from the United States, the'Rev. Dr. lkiacican ' • The report of the committee, which was read by Mr. S. Tawell, the honorary secretary, was of great length, but a printed abstract of it was circulated in the meet ing. It described the free day schools for boys, girls, and infants, averaging from 300 to 3.50 ; the adult evening schools; the industrial classes ; the female ser vants' preparatory class ; the mothers class for house keeping and other home dutieS ; the penny savings bank ; the night refuges, of which 8,147 males and 1,368 women had availed themselves during the past year ; the clothing society; the maternal society; the Bible classes; the ragged church service ; the missionary visi tations, and the monthly prayer meetings. It was stated that upwards of 10,000 of the . poor and destitute of London had participated in some of the advantages of the institution during the past year. Of this number 1,580 had been taken from the streets, and placed out where they now exercise their own powers, and enjoy the blessing of self-dependence. The finances had been well kept up daring the past. year. The alterations end expenses incurred for the new refuges were all paid, and a further sum of £2,000 had been invested, so as to make the interest of the permanent fund equal to all the rents. The annual subscriptions had increased, but did not yet equal the expenditure. The Lord Bishop of Ripon moved the first resolution, for the adoption and printing of the report, which was seconded by the Rev. Newman Hall. The second resolution was moved by Mr. T. Chambers, the Coininon serjeant, and seconded by the Rev. Mr. Henderson. The meeting was afterwards addressed by the Rev. Mr. Blunt, Mr. J. Payne, Assistant Judge of the Mid-' dlesex Session, and the Rev. P. Hood. The president, committee, and officers were elected for the ensuing year. Sir J. Lawrence, in moving a vote of thanks to the noble chairman, said there was no truer Con servative, and no truer Reformer, than the man who devoted his social influence and his talents, his time and labour, to the furtherance of objects like this, binding the . different classes of our people together, the high and wealthy to the lowest:and the poorest, by thus holding, out the hand of charity, of Christian fellowship and kindness to the lost, the degraded, and the miserable. The work which Lord Shaftesbury had performed, whether it was' regarded in a social, a. political, per a religious aspect, entitled him, to be considered the greatest benefactor of his, country men. The Chairinan having acknowledged this compliment, the meeting iepciated' Thomas Hopley, described as a gentleman, and .who keeps a school at Eastbourne, Sussex, has been com mitted .for 'manslaughter, on the charge of killing one of his pupils. The Carlsruhe journals of the 2Sth ult. state that General de Rena, formerly commander of the gendar merie in the grand duchy of Baden, had blown out his brains ; but they do not say for what reason. They announce, also, that Baron de Blittersdorff, formerly a cabinet minister and envoy of Baden, in the Germanic Diet, having become insane in consequence of unfortu nate Bourse speculations, has been place in an asylum. THE ACCELERATED. CONTINENTAL MAIL SERVICES. accelerated - mail services, at fixed hours, between Brussels, &c:,'have commenced. The first train f ro m London .Bridge at 7 a.m., reached Dover at 9.2, and the mail packet Prince Frederick William was steaming .out of harbour with' pails, pasengers, and baggage at 9.15. Against a freSh bi'ecie and swell s he made a rapid passage across, and the train left Calais for 'Paris and Brussels at the appointed time. During the day the , wind increased so much that o n the arrival .of the train at Calais, from Paris, atl 10 p.m ., nearly low-wafer time, there was too much sea on the bar for the passengers to go out in the roads. The new steam tender Poste, however, took out Captain Devot, and. the mails, and with whenf fi culty put them on hoard the John Penn, that vessel came across them to Dover in the strong wind and sea in 91 min utes, and they came u p to London in two hours by the n ew mail train.

I' • • the i4At I ;. ti • "ue ounci o lona e Association having invited all the rifle maker's in England t 6 a competition of small boreS at Hythe, on the ISt of May, the invita tion was responded to by Mr. Whitworth and by a depu tat ion _of Birmingham gunmakers, headed by their chair man, Mr. Goodman. The United Gunmakers declined to enter their titles for the. trial under the name of any particular maker, bat sent ten rifles, representing the best that coiild be turned out by the trade, in the hope that some one of the ten might be found superior to the Whitworth. The London makers appear to have declined the contest altogether. It is a significant fact that all the rifles sent to contend with those of Mr. Whitworth had the bore and turn which he has adopted, so that at the very outset it was tacitly admitted that in its bore - and turn the Whitworth system is right. The council of the association were represented at Hythe by Lord Spencer, Lord Elcho, Lord Vernon, General llay, Mr. T. Fairbairn, and the secretary, Mr. St. John Mildmay. The programme of the trials was drawn up on Tuesday, and in spite of the high winds which prevailed, some score shots were fired from the rival rifles, each firing alternately at. the same target at a range of 800 yards. The experiments were begun at. too late an hour of the day to admit of their being long con tinued. The results, as far as they went on the first day, were greatly in favour of the Whitworth. On the following day, in spite of the wind, which was blowing a complete gale, the trials, under the judicious arrangement of General Hay and his well-oganised staff, were proceeded with. The United Gunmakers insisted that all the shooting should be from the machine rest., as that was the most satisfactory mode of testing the guns, without depending on the marksman's skill. They bad not,' however, provided a rest of their own, but made use of one constructed by Mr. Whitworth for the Hythe School of Musketry. Mr. Whitworth brought with him a similar rest, and both were placed side by side, in the first instance, at 800 yards from the target. The superiority of the Whitworth rifle was mani fest from the first, and the United Gunmakers, after trying two of their best rifles, found it hope less to continue the contest, and withdrew their rifles from further competition. The mean deviation of 40 shots of the Whitworth rifles was 21.36 inches ; of 40 shots of the gunmakere rifles 70.80 inches, at 800 yards. It should be stated that the wind continued to blow down the range with the 'greatest violence through out the trials, and, in fact, about. half of the 40 shots of the United Guumakers failed to hit the target, which was 18 feet square. All the Whitworth shots hit, as the' Whitworth projectile, owing doubtless to its greater velocity and lower trajectory, was much less affected by the wind. With the view of rendering the comparison more complete, the best of the rifles of the United Gunmakers 39 inches long, was fired against a Whitworth 33 inches long, at a range of 1,100 yards, and the result, as was in fact anticipated, more fully confirmed the superiority of the Whitworth rifle. It can hardly be said, considering the results which have been obtained from these trials, that the council of the National Rifle Association committed an error in judg ment when they proposed that the Whitworth rifle should be used at the national rifle meeting in July by those who intended to compete at the longest ranges. A PIOUS SPECULATOR. A person named Pinot de Moira, exercising the profession of banker, was about month ago cited before the Tribunal of Correctional Police at Paris to answer a charge of embezzlement ; but he did not present himself, and was con demned by default to two years' imprisonment and 9,5 fr. fine. On Saturday he appeared to Oppose the condemnation, and the case was gone into. It appeared that at the, beginning of last year a- lady named Languillet, a widow, having some capital to invesi, consulted the cure of Chail lot, her .confessor, on the Subject ;, and he stated that he knew that M. Pinot de Moira, banker, a very Pious person, and who hactemployed part of his fortune in founding a charitable establish ment in Sclavonia, under the direction of the Fathers of the Community of the Holy Ghost and of the Sacred Heart of Mary, could profitably employ any capital placed in his hands in " con tinuations" (reports) on the Bourse ; but what Bourse continuations were the cure could not exactly state. She accordingly sent one of her friends to consult M. Pinot de Moira, and he gave explanations from which it appeared that the money would be made to yield a good interest without incurring any risk. She therefore con fided to him 70,000 fr., and ho gave her a written acknowledgment, which she took without reading. Some months after, finding that M. Pinot de Moira paid her nothing, she examined the receipt and found to her surprise that it simply said that she had given him the money to be employed as he might think fit, and that she could not claim it without giving him three months' notice ; not a word about interest. She insisted on having a new receipt, and he gave one which set forth that the money was .to be employed for her pro fit in continuations, and was to be restored to her at a given date. But she received nothing for the use of the money in the Bourse operation's, and when the date arrived the capital was not forthcoming. In place of her 70,000 fr., the banker gave a promissory note signed not only by him self but by his brother-in-law ; but the note was not paid, and all her attempts to get back her money were vain. The defendant maintained that the money had been advanced to him as a simple loan, and that he had only given her the second acknowledgment mentioned because she appeared alarined. The public prosecutor prayed the tribunal to confirm the first judgment, and strongly denounced the defendant for employing the guise of religion to commit fraud; he also expressed a hope that the clergy would take warning by the case to confine themselves to giving spiritual counsels to persons who might consult them, and not to meddle in their worldly affairs. The tribunal maintained the previous condemnation. A WEDDING MISHAP.—A few days age a loving young couple went, accompanied by their friends, to a church not far from this city to enter into the bonds of holy matrimony. The wedding service had commenced, and had Progressed to the point where the ring is pro duced, when a singular hitch took place. No ring was forthcoming. Not that the bridegroom had, in the bustle and nervousness of preparation for the important ceremony, forgotten to put the ring into his pocket on leaving home, buthe was ignorant that the Mlle golden hoop was required in the marriage ,ceremony. Here was a difficulty! The good-natured clerk said he would try to find one, which be would lend for the ceremony, but the - officiating minister objected, and refused to go farther in forging bonds where so important an element in the Manufacture was 'wanting. In this difficulty the man, who was thus placed a neutral position between the single and, the married state, was about to ran in despair to this city to purchase a ring, when a second Couple, who had also come to the church with the like object of matrimony, touched with a fellow feeling, and perhaps by the tears of the disappointed bride, lent him their vehicle for the journey. He just contrived to get back with the ring in time for the marriage to be con clude& within the lawful hours, the scrupulous minister havitig kindly awaited his return ; and the pair then went away in high spirits, all the happier for their previous disappointment.— Worcester Citron iac. THE ENtiEROR AND THE SPIRITS. —During the time which Mr. D. D. Home spent in Paris he was a constant visitor and guest of the Emperor and Em press. On his first visit, in a room of which the Empe ror and he were the sole occupants, the wonderful manifestations of which he is the medium were rigo rously scrutinised by the Emperor, and were repeatedly displayed under conditions prescribed specially by the Emperor, in order -to enable him to pronounce definitely upon the phenomena. No jumping to contusions, but rather a jumping on table and chairs, to obtain more accurate demonstration of the truth. After all the con ditions of the Emperor hai been satisfactorily complied with, and not a doubt could remain • upon his innocent mind, he said, " The Empress must See. this ;" and he went himself to bring her from the sestori where all the Court were assembled. Upon her coming with the 'Emperor, for two hems the three were seated together at the table, wonder-struck at the phenomena which, were produced, before them. After this Mr. Homo became a constant guest, and in repeated sittings nearly the full range of spiritual manifestations were made familiar to both the Emperor and the Empress, as well as to most of tte French Court and aristocracy. A record was kept of these different sittings by direction of the Emperor, and fifty copies were printed in his private printing-office for distribir tiOn. The Empcnir, not being a Fellow of our Royal Society, makes no secret of what he sawand heard, but., on tlse contrary, has made it a subject of frequent con versation; end, among others of his acquaintance, both he and the Empress have informed our Queen a 0 Prince Albert of all the wonders he has seen. On one occasion four persons were sitting together at tie Tuileries.. - t Emperor and the Empress, the Duchess. de ,Dfontebello, and Mr. Home. A pen and ink were on the table, and some paper: A spirit-band was seen, and, 'presently it took tip the pen, and in their sight and pre sence dipped it in the ink, went to the paper, and wrote upon it the word " Napoleon," in the autograph of the great Emperor- The Emperor asked if he might be allowed to kiss the band, and it went to his lips, and then to those of the Empress ; and afterwards, on Mr. Hanle making a humble , request, - he was permitted to kiss its warm and soft texture. The autograph is now among the valued contents-of the "Emperor's spiritual portfolio."--Spiriiaai Magazine. . , ROYAL HUMANE SOCIETY. Tlie eight7-f.ilth anniversary of the above institu tion was celebrated on Thursday evening by a dinner, at the kreemakiis' tavern, niftier the presidency of his Grace the Puke df Argyll, euppotted by Sir Benjamin Hawes, K.C.B. ; Benjamin HaWes, N. ; Wm. Hawes, Esq., and J. 'Walter, Esq., M.P. ; J. C: Macdonald, Ecq.; Fraier (11th Hussars), Dr. Sptirgeon, Rev, Dr. Irons, T. Page, Esq., C.E. ; J. Wyld, Esq., ; Dr. M'Cann, Sir Wm. Frazer, Bart. ; Dr. Christian, Sir F. Heasate, Bart. ; lion. S. Smyth, M.P. &c., &c. Amongst the company were several recipients of the society's medal, including a midshipman in the Royal Navy (Mr. Whitehead), a private in the Irish constabulary (Peter Quigley), one or two sailors, &c. The Chairman, having given the customary toasts with great felicity, gave " The House of Commons," for which Mr. Walter returned thanks, and proposed " The health of the Chairman." The Duke of Argyll acknowledged the compliment, and proceeded to dilate on the advantages of the society. One of the brightest features of modern civilisation, he said, was the abstract regard for human life which was wholly unknown to the ancients. To an ancient Roman the life of a friend or relative might be dear, but it was in modern England that that regard for human life was formed which induced heroic indivividuals to plunge into the most imminent danger to save even the life of a poor lunatic. His grace here repeated the story which has appeared in the papers of a poor woman in the Welsh lunatic asylum interrupting the whole business of a race course by her frantic cries for her husband, whom she re cognised amongst a crowd on the opposite side of a river, and immediately plunged in in the hope of joining him. An utter stranger plunged in, and saved her, amid the cheers of surrounding thousands. Even shipwrecks— the most appalling way in which life could be lost— displayed the most heroic efforts, and the recreation of skating also—which was probably the acme of healthy physical enjoyment—afforded instances of persons who were always found ready to plunge into the battle with death, in the hope of saving human life. His grace then proceeded to communicate the cases for which medals were to be given on the present occasion. Moss, a boatman, had on the 19th of December, 1858, saved a shipmate off Dungeness ; Captain Moore, R.N., bad on the 6th of June saved the life of a man who had attempted suicide in the Serpentine; Captain Stirling had in the East Indies attempted to save a native, and was himself saved by Lieutenant F. Law. On the 30th of May, 1859, Private Buckley, 24th Regiment, was saved iu the river Don, by Ensign R. H. B. Airey. On the 9th of June, 1859, J. E. Gibson, Big., Eltham Light Infantry, was saved by Captain T. W. Woodall, of the same regiment. At the battle of the Rapteo, East Indies, Major Fraser saved several of his comrades by plunging into a rapid river under the fire of the enemy, and on the 14th May, 1859, Sub-constable Peter Quigley saved John Hunt, in Cork; and on 17th February, 1860, Mr. Heygate saved the life of his butler, who had fallen into a reservoir. In this gallant act Mr. Heygate was much aided by the courage and presence of mind of his lady. Major Frazer, Peter Quigley, Mr. Whitehead, R.N., a youth of 17, Mr. Heygate, and one or two others, received their medals in person, and made appropriate acknowledgments. In the other cases the medals were delivered to persons who had been deputed to receive them. The Duke of Argyll gave "The health of the trea surer, Benjamin Hawes, Esq., a gentleman in his 91st year, and who on that evening attended the 71st anni versary of the charity." This toast, and the interesting annotincement by which it was accompanied, was received with the loudest cheering by the company. Sir Benjamin Hawes returned thanks for the Vice- Presidents, and one or two other toasts having been given; the party broke up. The subscriptions amounted to £2,000. A musical party, under the direction of Mr. Land, and comprising Misses Wells, Messrs. Lawler, Baxter, and Cumming, sang a selection of appropriate music during the evening. PUNISHMENT BY THE LASH. It is not to he supposed that the fortuitous majority obtained by Lord Raynham upeaa the propriety of finning the brutes who, taking advantage of their superiority in physical strength, wound and beat their wretched wives, will ever pass into law. Still the fact that such a majority has been obtained is a public event which we are bound to notice. Here is one of the cases in which reason and feeling are absolutely at variance. Of course, every man would be but too willing to tie the wretches who commit these assaults upon helpless women up to the triangle and lay on with a hearty good will, if he could not find a public . officer to discharge the duty ou behalf of the nation. So far there is no doubt about the case. These men ought to be flogged, and soundly, and we should all ho too delighted to lend a hand in furthering so good a work. Here, however, is the difficulty :—Under the existing state of the law, and now that the wife-beaters are only exposed to the penalty of imprisonment, the utmost difficulty is found in inducing women to come forward as accusers. True, it may be said women reason thus :—" If we go before the magistrate and give such testimony as causes the bread-winner to be locked up in gaol for a period of either two, three, or more months, what is to become of us and our little ones ?" Practically, women do not reason in that way ; and their reluctance to proceed against the men who have ill treated them arises from a totally different series of causes. What would he the case if the penalty of flogging were substituted for the penalty of imprison ment? We know not how this point may strike different minds, but to us it seems that, even as far as the wife's chances of securing support for herself and her children are concerned, she would not have much aid to expect from the savage brute who (lame bleeding from the turnkey's hands; and still more savage than bcfore. This, however, is not the real point. If you attach the penalty of corporeal chastisement to the crime of wife beating there is not one woman in five hundred who will come forward to bear witness against her husband, simply upon the ground that, brutally as he may have behaved to her, she does not, on the whole, choose that the brute shall be flogged. The repression under the existing state of the law is not worth much; but still, of the little hope of repressing this crime by positive law there would be a total end, if Lord Raynham's injudicious proposition for flogging the husbands were to pass into law. LONDON HOSPITAL. The anniversary festival of this excellot charity was celebrated at the London Tavern, the otlzer night, the Duke of Cambridge presiding. There was a numerous company on the occasion. After the usual loyal and constitutional toasts, which were drank with enthu siasm, the Chairman proposed the toast of the evening, " Prosperity to the London Hospital." With regard to the advantages of the institution he had to remind them that in the last year 28,290 patients were treated in the hospital, of whom 3,669 were in-patients, and 24,621 were out-patients. The . London Hospital was situated in the midst of a large working population, and therefore the number of accident eases attended to in the hospital might be expected to be very considerable. There were 12,000 such cases. Seeing that there were only 1,230 cues recommended by governors, the • hospital might be regarded as rt free hospital. The annual expenditure hitherto amounted to ,617,500, of which £12,000 was fixed income, so that £6,500 had to be made up by voluntary contributions. The present year was a peen. liarly bad one, as the charity lost £1,600 by thafalling in of the long annuities. The deficiency, therefore, to be made up on the present occasion amounted to £7,000 per annum. The requirements of the hospital had greatly increased in recent years, because the bene fits of the charity had been greatly extended. Re had therefore to make a special appeal to them on the pre sent occasion, and he hoped ho would not appeal to them in vain. The appeal of the chairman was responded to by the largest contribution that was ever made on a similar occasion in the City of London—£23,B49. The announcement of this magnificent subscription was received with loud applause. The band of the Fusilier Guard played a selection of music during dinner, and several excellent. songs, selected by Mr. Francis, were sung on the occasion. Mr. Harker officiated as toast master. CHINESE EMIGRATION TO THE BRITISH WEST TNMES —The annexed extract from a person in Demerara has been published :—" The Dora has arrived from China with 385 immigrants, a large portion of whom are women. There were four deaths and two births on the voyage. The people are in excellent condition. The batch per Whirlwind are working very well, hut we only give them light work at first. The women are not required to work ; but several of those by the Whirlwind have turned out to work of their own accord." IRISH AHRICHLTURtL PROSPECTA.—A glorious change has taken place in the weather since Saturday night, when the :long and dreary winter was brought to .a sudden conclusion by a fall of soft and genial rain, which continued with scarcely any intermission for twenty hours. The harsh north wind which for weeks blew with such steady virulence veered to an opposite direction, and on Thursday the whole face of the coun try presented the appearance of an advanced spring season.

A inectinz of the Royal „National Life-boat Institu tion was held on Thursday, at its hotice, John-street Aclelphi, Thomas Chapman, I , :sf; F. R.S., in the chair. Mr. Lewispthe secretary, having read the minutes of the previous ineetio, • A rewaid of £ll was voted to the crew of the institu tion's life-h Oat statiouej st TeignmoUtli, fai putting off, early on the night of Monday Week, when it was very dark, and rescuing from the rigging the crew of two men, who were found nearly benumbed with cold, from the sloop 'Wonder, of that port, which during heavy weather had stink in the course of the night. A few months ago this same valuable life-boat way instrumental in bringing into port a disabled barge, and her exhausted crew. • A reward of £(3 ins. waR likewise voted to the Lytham life-boat, belonging to the National Institution, for going off during a heavy gale of wind, and rescuing the crew of eight men and a lad, from the brigantine Nancy, of Teignmontb, which having struck on the dangerous sand called the Horse Bank, immediately afterwards sank. Her crew took to the rigging —from which perilous position they were rescued by the' life boat. The poor boy was found quite exhausted and unable to help himself, and two of the life-boat's crew had, therefore, to jump on the wreck, to bring him down from the mast heed. The life-boat was reported to have behaved on this as on former occasions, remark ably well. Within the last few months this same excel- lent life-boat had been the means of saving the crews, consisting ot 13 men, from two wrecked vessels. The neigh bouring life-boat, stationed at Fleetwood, had also, under the command of the intrepid Captain Wasey, R.N., inspecting commander of the Coast Guard, been instru mental, in the same brief period, in rescuing three ship wrecked crews. In acknowledgment of which gallant services, the Admiralty have extended Captain Wasey's appointment in the Coast Guard two years. He had previously received the silver medal and second service clasp of the National Life-boat Institution, for the same service. A reward of SA lOs. was also voted to the Lossie mouth Life-boat belonging to this institution, for putting off with a view of rescuing the crew of a pilot-boat, which had been swamped during a sudden squall in this Bay. In less than twenty minutes after the accident was observed, the life-boat was on the spot, but, unfor tuaately out of five of the pilot-boat's crew, two had sunk to rise no more. A reward of £5 was also presented to the crew of the Kessiugland, Suffolk, life-boat, for putting off and rescuing the crew of seven men of the brigantine Little Tye, of North Shields, which, during a gale of wind, was wrecked near that place, on the 19th ult. The Ramsgate life-boat, belonging to the Royal Har bour Conitnissioners, was reported to have rendered, at the imminent peril of the crew's lives, important ser vices, in conjunction with the commissioners' steam-tug, in the night of Friday last, to a vessel on the Goodwin Sands. A reward was also voted to a boat's crew for putting off and saving three men from a small boat, which had been capsized by the unskilful conduct of one of the crew in ascending her mast, which caused her to become top heavy. Several other rewards for saving life from different wrecks were also voted. During the past month the institution had forwarded new life-boats and transporting carriages to Penzance and Porthcawl, and another was about to be sett to Silloth, on the Cumberland coast. The cost of the two last-named boats had been presented to the institution by Miss Burdett Coutts and another benevolent lady. The society decided on taking into connection with it, the Margate life-boat, which was presented by Miss Coutts, to that town last year. The society decided on presenting its thanks, inscribed on vellum, to Miss Dix, an American lady, in acknow ledgment of her philanthrophic labours in establishing, at her own expense, several life-boat stations on the toasts of the United States. and British possessions in America. It was also a lady, the sister of a sailor, who first presented the cost of a, life-boat to the National Life-boannstitution. Her humane example has since been followed by many persons. . . Payments amounting £597 having been made on various life-boat establishments, the proceedings closed. A BOY THREATENING TO STAB HIS MOTHER. John Larkin, a youth of about 16 years of age, was charged, at the Bow-street Police-office, with attempting to stab his mother, a poorly-clad but decently-looking woman.—The complainant, upon giving her evidence, said that she was not desirous of pressing the charge against him, if be would promise to keep away from her. She would be sorry to send him to prison, but she must have some protection from his violence, as she went in terror of her life.—Mr. Henry (to the prisoner) : You hear what your mother says. Will you promise to keep away 3—The Prisoner (sulkily : I'll keep away as much as I can; but I don't know where else to go. Who's to keep me ?—Mr. Henry : Surely a great boy like you ought to keep, yourself, and not be a burden to your poor mother, who no doubt has to work quite bard enough without. Why you ought to be a help to her at your age.—The Prisoner : I can't work this week, as I have .injured my hand by the knife slipping while I was cutting some bread and butter.—The Mother observed that he had been at work notwithstanding, and would be paid his wages as usual. But, even when he was at work, she had almost entirely to keep him.—Mr. Henry Well, as he is so obstinate, we must go into the case. It is a very serious charge, and if I have to send him to prison be will think more seriously of it then. You must state the facts.—The Mother : He was lying in bed about seven o'clock this morning, when the other children had . been up since six o'clock. I could not get to the cupboard-doer till he was up, and I wanted to give the second boy his breakfast, and send him out to his work. I told him. that he must get up, and he said he would not; that he would lie there as long as he liked. I said I would make him get up, and I was about to lay hold of him, when he seized a carving-knife from the dresser, which was within his reach, and brandished it at me so as to keep me off. So I was obliged to let him lie. As he continued to threaten me, saying, "I will rip you open," I became alarmed, left the room, and fetched a policeman, who took him into custody.—The Prisoner : I only took up the knife and laid it down again.—Mr. Henry : Don't you think it a very wicked thing to take a knife to your mother ?—The Prisoner : It was done on the im pulse of a moment.—Mr. Hoary : That is an impulse we must restrain. Well, have you anything to say ?—The Prisoner : No, I don't know as I have.—Mr. Henry : Not even that you are sorry for it. Well, you will have time to reflect. oa it in prison, and I hope you will come out in a better frame of mind.—The Prisoner (whimpering) : Yes, sir, I am sorry. I was sorry for it the moment I had done it.—Mr. Henry: I see the fear of imprisonment is the only thing that has any effect on you. This is the first indication of a proper feeling you have given throughout the case. Now will give you one more chance, as your mother does not wish to scud you to prison, if she can help it. It iveuld be a very great , disgrace to you to be sent to prison for attempting to stab your mother, and you would most probably lose your situation. Will you promise to keep away ?—The -Prisoner : I will leave pn Satur day, when I get my wages.—The Mother : No; he must go to-day. am afraid to trust 'inyself 'and the' children' in the heutay *bother night.— The Prisoner: iWill•you-lend, me the reoney,to pay fur a lodging, , till ,Saturday;,—The . Nuttier : tab,. certainly. I'll And you a lodging, an'a pay the rent for you, if you will only keep away and let me live in safety..—the Prisoner : Well, then, I won't go near you again.—Mr. Henry: Then I will let you go ; but mind, I will pun ish you severely if you assault her or annoy her again.

I shall adjourn the case for a week. and you must then appear before me again, and'l shall hear how you have conducted yourself in the meanwhile.—The prisoner was then remanded. The Grand Trunk Railway of Canada's traffic for the week ending April 14th, 1860, amounted to £14,360 Os. 10d., being an increase of £4,910 Os. 4d. HER MAJESTY'S CONSULS ABROAD.—Papars on the subject of the recommendation of the House of Commons Consular Committee of 15.58, that, as a general rule, consuls should be piohibited from trading, and that the fees be appropriated to the Government, which on its part should provide for the current expenses of the consulates, have been Isid.on the table of the HOW of Commons. In DecembeOn ofßeial committee, over which Mr. M. Gibson presided, made is full report upon the whole subject, and advised that the recommendation to restrict consuls from trading be confined to those who ,exercise important political or judieial functions, especially in,the }last, and that in other place. of con siderable trade a discretion be left with the Secretary Of State, and in places of minor importance the consul be always a trading consul when economy will.be promoted by such an arrangement; and they prepared lists of these three clm4res, adding a fourth of "consulates which may be abolished.", Lord J. Russell accepts those recommendations, but states that, as the new system can only be applied as vacancies oeenr, he considers that the claims of many of the present consuls to a preper remu neration ought not to be overlooked, and he accordingly proposes a re-adjustment of the salaries of several, but making the fees received by them payable to govern. ment, the increased charge to the public not exceedipg £2,425 a-year, and that sum will be met by theabot lion and reduction of other consulates within the last twelve months. The Treasury have agreed to this proposal. Some of the consuls are represented ns having been before this arrangement in lamentable pli g ht, with salaries quite insufficient to support them respectably ; . the functionary at Ne w York, for instance, had to be content with an office "up thre e pa i r of stairs • us ought to demand.' back street," which is bey on d w h at even repu in blica:plapn MISCELLANEOUS. Prince Alfred left ffttlererg • burn — Palace yesterday afternoon for Portsmouth, to joie tht Enryalue, which procecaliimmediateiy to the Cape of dctoe The correspondent of the Daily iyi,:;?s, a't' M a lt a , says, that an outbreak has occurred ,on -board n.si.a. James Watt, and a court of inquiry was sitting. Dis cipline had been completely restored. The Times observes that the real question decided last night, is not whethCr we are to have a reform in the representation, bat whether it is to be this session or some future one, as, under ordinary circumstances, there must and will be a party for Reform of some kind or ether. Rverza-niix.--At the`annual meeting of proprietors a dividend of three per cent. was declared, and a resolu tion was also carried, with , only one dissentient, "That the directors should take immediate steps for making better staircases and entrances to the large hall." FIRE AT LUIERICX.—A destructive fire broke out at Limerick, at two o'clock yesterday morning, in the extensive seed and oil concern of Messrs. J. S. and G. Boyd, in William-street. The premises and stock have been entirely destroyed. Origin of the fire at present unknown. No person injured. CURIOUS MURDER.—A strange affair occurred three days ago, at Violaines, near Valenoiennes. A peasant woman, named Danssonville, was heard to raise loud cries, and when some of her neighbours hastened to her cottage they found her daughter, aged two years and a half, writhing in great agony. The woman said she had poisoned the child with vitriol, because she (the child) was Protestant, 'not Catholic. Medical assistance was procured, but the little oreature died. The mother is supposed to be insane; she was, however, arrested. RISE IN THE PRICE or HORSE-KEEP.---A meeting of hotel and innkeepers of the parishes of Redcliff, Temple, and St. Thomas. was held at the Queen's Head Inn, .Redcliff-street, Bristol, on Thursday evening, t o t a k e into uonsideratien the present very great advance in the price of hay and straw, which, it was stated, caused the charges now made for the standing of horses at the various stable yards to result in a considerable loss to the retailers. A resolution was accordingly agreed to fixing the charge for standing and hay at 9d. instead of ed. per day for each horse, so long as the present high prices continue, a reduction to be made in proportion with the fall of the markets ; and 2s. per head to be the charge for night houses. A LORD-LIEUTENANT AT THE TARGET. - A very appropriate instance of the application and assiduity of the Earl Ducie, lord-lieutenant of the county, in carrying out all that comes under his official observation, was strikingly illustrated on Wednesday afternoon last, when the noble lord, having presided over a meeting for the formation of a book-hawking association, held at the Literary and Philosophical Institution, accompanied by several officers of the local rifle volunteer corps, paid a visit to the practice ground at Southern. His lordship, during his stay on the ground, tried his aim at the target, and " proved himself so good a marksman as, three or four times in succession, to hit the bull's-eye," an example to all volunteers who are aspiring to distinc tion with the rifle.—Cheltothasn Examiner. THE LONDON ANI) NORTII-WESTERN:RAILWAY.—A n adjourned meeting of the proprietors of this company was held on Thursday, at the Euston-square Station. The meeting was an adjournment from the one convened on the 4th of last month, in accordance with the standing orders of , the House of Lords, for the purpose of con sidering certain bills submitted to Parliament, and now pending before that House.—The Marquis of Chandoe, the chairman of the Board of Directors, who presided, stated that as none of the bills, in reEpect of which the meeting was convened, were ready for consideration, the meeting would stand still further adjourned to Thursday, the 17th inst.—The meeting was declared adjourned accordingly, and the proceedings, which only occupied a few minutes, terminated. THE METROPOLITAN SLDTEHHANEIN RAILWAY.— Since Monday, an additional number of men have been engaged, upon the above ,line, between King's-cross and the %tended station near the Great Western Railway Terminus, Paddington, the effect of which has been that the execution of the works has considerably advanced. Between that distance more than two-thirds of the line is in process of excavation, and in many parts to a very great depth. In Marylebone-road, opposite Matylebone Worklion - se, three shafts have been sunk. -At the bot tom of two of them a stream of water was met with, and in consequence several men were obliged to be em ployed in pumping. At King's-cross, where the railway as been commenced, this is going on in a way very satisfactory to the contractor. It is not intended to tunnel, but to dig out the earth, to arch the line over, and to fill up the space between the top of the arch end tlte surface of the road. This course, it is expected, wilt enable the contractor to complete the line in a shorter time than if a tunnel were formed. • AN EIGHT-WHEELED ENGINE.---Our readers will remember that we called their attention a short time ago to a new kind of engine about to,be made on the South Durbam and Lancashire Railway. An engine of a similar build, viz., with eight wheels (so as to take the curves easily), has recently been constructed by Messrs. Kitson a Co., of Leeds. It is intesded to be be used on one of the South American railways, and was tried the ether day for the first time. The trial trip was from Leeds to Harrogate and back. She has around the frame a beautiful hand-tailing, mounted with brass, io that the driver can walk round the foot plate with perfect safety. In the front there will be fixed a "cow-catcher." The trial of the engine was f,erfectly satisfactory. —You:cc/sec Chronicle. IRISII PROSPECIS. — The Cork Exepainer, referring to the rapid progress of emigration, describes the persons emigrating as belonging to the most valuable class in Ireland—young men and young women, full of life, health and energy, who are formed to give vigour to a race. " Labour," continues the Examiner, "is every where scarce; and is daily becoming less available. So much the better, it may be thought, for those who are left behind, as they are secured better wages. They are indeed secured a higher rate of pay, but unfortunately the larger sum is not now so valuable as le was ; for production, instead of having gone for Ward, as in the natural order of things it ought, has actually retro graded, and the necessaries of life have risen so high as to more than counterbalance any money increase. If we are to judge by the exodus of pro ducers from our shores, it is not too gloomy an anticipation to look forward not merely to a eonti nnance, but to an increase in the startling deficit of to our knowledge, wise r last year. Some landlords, than their fellows, have begun to see that a wil derness of pasture and turnip fields is not so profitable a substitute as they once imagined, for populous farm steadings. Nay, they have even thought it necessary to. do -now what, had they and their fellows done it at first, would have saved Ireland much of the misery it has gone through—that is, they have re-let their land, and on fair terms. This, however, is not the rule. Farms are put up to let throughout the county of Cork, after a system bases on the known anxiety of the Irish peasantry to obtain land. Back rents are still asked from farmers, even though 'the rate of wages for labour has, during the last ten years, more than doubled. These lands are let without adequate buildings or capabilities : the tenant is left to make a half-starved struggle to pay the exorbitant rent, without due means to work his farm; and he must at his own expense make the improvements, with the pro bability that as soon as they are completed ho will be thrust out of their enjoyment, or the already high rent will be made still higher by the value his investments have added to the land." CITY OF LONDON Citvacires.—ln the course of my pilgrimages I came upon one obscure church which had broken out in the melodramatic style, and was got up with various tawdry decorations, much after the manner of the extinct London maypoles. These attractions had induced several young priests or deacons in black bibs for waistcoats, and several young ladies interested in that holy order (the proportion being, as I estimated, seventeen young ladies to a deacon), to come into the city as a new and odd excitement. It was wonderful to see how these young people played out their little play in the heart of the city, all among themselves, without the deserted city's knowing anything about it. It was as if you should take an empty counting-house on a Sunday, and act one of the old mysteries there. They had impressed a small school (from what neighbourhood I don't know) to assist in the performances, and it was, pleasant to notice frantic garlands of inscription on the walls, especially addressing those poor innocents id Chlracteri impossible for them - to - decipher.• There was a remarkably -agreeable sinell df . poinatum in - this ' congregation. But, in other cases. rot Rl 4 mildEW , and dead citizens formed the ,uppermost scent, while, infus.ed, into it in a dreamy way not at all distil easing, was the staple, character of the neighbourhood. In the churcheS about Mark-lane for example, there was a dry whiff of wheat ; . and I accidentally . struck a . sample of barley out of an aged hassock in one of them. From ' Rood-lane to Tower-street, and thereabbuts, there was often a subtle flavour of wine : sotnetimes of tea. One church near Mincing-lane smelt like a druggist's drawer. BOW the Monument, : the service had a flavour of damaged oranges, which, a little further down towards the ricer, tempered into 'herrings, anal gradually toned into a - costriopolitan blast of fish. •In one church, the exact counterpart of tlanchnrch in . the Rake's Progress where the hero is being married to the horrible old lady, there was no speciality of atmosphere, untfl the organ Shook a perfume of hide's all olier us from some adjacent warehouse.---Diavria , All the Year Reu;W. ~.. . . - 11.01,LOWNT'S r1i . .1...5 .tin OucrsiOi'r.;--Female ' complaints.
