GRAND REVIEW OF SCOTCH VOLUN TEER RIFLE CORPS BY HER MAJESTY. It is officially announced that. her Majesty has been pleased to intimate her intention to hold a review of volunteer corps, at Edinburgh, on the 7th August. The commanding officers of corps desiring to attend must intimate their wish to the Secretary of State for War, through the lord-lieutenants of their respective counties, before the Ist of August, and they will then b . e admitted as far as space and numbers will permit. The announcement that the British and French Governments are determined to act together in putting an end to the massacre of the Christians in Syria has produced an excellent effect among the commercial classes in France. The Times, adverting to the case of Mr. Henderson, formerly a cashier of the Union Bank, but who was recently dismissed, says that his treatment furnishes one of the most painful instances on record of the readiness of the strong to seek, at any sacrifice of feeling or justice, a scape-goat among the weak. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS.-YESTERDAY. lord BROUGHAM called attention to the refusal of the Cunard Company to accept a free man of colour as a first-clan; pas senger to America. Earl GRANVILLE thought it was a case where the Govern ment could not interfere, but was not sorry that attention had been called to it. The Duke of ARGYLE moved the second reading of the Edinburgh Annuity Tax Bill. The Earl of DERBY supported the bill, as an honest attempt to reconcile existing differences, and settle a lone-agitated question. The Lord CRANCELLOR also approved of the bill, which was then read a second time. The Burial Grounds (Ireland), the Leith Harbour and Docks, and•the Friendly Societies Bills, •were read a second time, as was the Title to Law (Scotland) Act Amendment Bill. The Lord CHANCSLLOR laid on the table a bill to assimilate the law of marriage in Scotland to that of England. Lord Woof:lionsu, in reply to a question put, in the early part of the sitting, by Lord Stratford de Redeliffe, said that the Government had, he was sorry to say, received informa tion confirming the accounts in the papers of the rna. , acre at Damascus. Five hundred Christians had been killed, amongst whom was the Dutch Consul. The American Consul had been wounded, and all the 'consulates, except the British, had been burnt. The House adjourned at half-pact six. HOUSE OF COMNIONS.-YEgTERDAY. In the evening sitting of the House of Commons, Mr. ADDERLEY moved the second reading of the Education Bill, of which the object was to prevent children unthr twelve years who cannot produce a certificate of education from being continually employed in factory labour. Mr. PEASE moved to defer the second reading for six months. Such a bill would, he contended, throw all the manufacturing - arrangements of the country into confusion. Sir G. C. LEWIS said that it would be impo:sible to proceed with such a bill at so late a period of the session. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER took the same view, declaring that they might as well attempt to abolish the House , of Commons as to pass this bill at present. After some debate, Mr. ADDERLEY complained that he was not fairly used, and :thought that hie bill ought to be allowed to go into committee. On a division, the second reading was lost by 122 to M. The spirit Duties Bill was re-committed, in order to intro -duce the provisions of the Ministerial proposal of the l previous evening. In committee on the Game Act, a clause was agreed to imposing a charge of 1:2, for a license to deal in game in Scot land and Ireland, as well as in England. In the evening sitting, Mr. Coomi asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland what steps the Government had taken in consequence of the lamentable riots, and shooting of several persons near Lurgan, on the 12th day of July. Mr. CARDWELL said that he had received a telegraphic - message stating that some further disturbances were still apprehended at Lurgan, but not to any serious extent. The police force on the spot had been increased. In reply to Lord A. Churchill, Mr. M. GIBSON said that the report of the Submarine Tele graph Commission would be laid upon the table before the Close of the session. Mr. ADDERLEY asked the Under-secretary of State for the Colonies whether any accounts had been received of the people of the provinces of New Zealand, not immediately threatened by Maori hostilities, volunteering for the assistance of their tfellow-colonists at Taranaki? Whether any intimation had been received from the Colonial Government of its intention to propose to the Colonial Parliament any vote for the purpose of vontributing to the expense of the civil war'? Mr. C. FORTESCVE said volunteers had offered their services tor the purpose of queuing the disturbances in New Zealand, but none had as yet proceeded to the disturbed quarter, lie Ihad no reason to believe that any demand of the kind stated would be made upon the Colonial Parliament, Mr. BUTT moved that an address be presented to her Majesty, representing that this house has learned with regret that many of her Majesty's subjects in Ireland are prevented, by con scientious objections, from availing themselves of the benefit of the funds voted by this house for the promotion of national education in Ireland, and praying her Majesty to direct inquiry to be made, whether such changes might not be made in the rules under which that grant is distributed as would enable all classes in .Ireland to enjoy the advantages which that Trent is intended to secure to the Irish people. He argued at length that the present system was satisfactory neither to Roman Catholics nor Protestants, both of whom' ttaok the eosant under protest and awaiting better arrangements, As a cabinet system of education, the system had failed alto- Tether ; while, if it was considered as a separate system, it 'belied its avowed objects. He viewed the vexatious conse ,quenees of the jarring of different religions, of which he gave +leveret instances. He reprobated a compromise of religious principle, of which the only result was a false and hollow +union. Still, however strong his own opinions might be, he slid not ask the House to adopt them. lie contented himself with demanding a commission of enquiry. Mr. KENNEDY seconded the motion. Mr. WHITEMDF, who had a similar motion on the paper, cordially supported the present motion. He urged in detail the objections felt by the Protestant clergy and party to the system, and claimed for their objections the same respect shown for those of Dissenters in England. lie gave a multi tude of instances of the vexatious, anomalous, and often ridi oulous workings of the rules of the commissioners. It was pain, under such circumstances, to attempt to administer the system -satisfactorily, or even decently. He urged that, in place of the present arrangements, assistance should be given to the old parochial schools, and denied that such assistance ought to'be•avithhcld because the Scriptures were there read. No real urLon was possible under the rules of the National Board, and it -we.s hopeless to carry out in practice principles so 'utterly inAracticable. He maintained that the adoption of the resolution now presented would remove the,existing falsi- Aes and anomalies ; and, while reflecting no injury on either Catholics or Protestants, would place the system of education iss Ireland upon a more sound and honest footing. afis. CARDWELL defended the national system as now existing Ireletid, which had, .be maintained, enjoyed a most successful -and beneficial existence of thirty years. All previous attempts to educate the people of Ireland had failed ; but this had suc ceeded in disseminating the blessings of instruction over the Country, and had produced the most happy results upon the -rising generation of Ireland. These statements he proceeded to suppost by citing various returns and entering at consider able length into the details of the system. The rapid progress of the system was shown by the number of schools under the supervision of the board. In 1843, ten years after its first establishment. there were 2,912 schools, with 355,000 scholars. in 1853 the number had 'increased to 5,020 schools and 535,000 scholars ; and in spite of the discouragement created by the decree of the synod' of Thurles, the last returns of the com missioners shoved that the 'present number of schools was d,496, and schoiarss7 o , ooo . Pursuing this comparison through the different provinces of Ireland, and among the different sects, he showed that the advantages presented by the national system of education were distributed in extending degrees over every part of the count_ry,efa everyndcultidveantoeind denomination increased ofthe assiduity by the members community whom it was intended to serve. Ireland, in fact, was now entitled to a ssume a high rank in , 't educational ,'standard among thembixeesdt in ed st e u i c t t i e o d u. nations s of h opposition both f the ple of Europe. The principle had drawn on time system so touch essential t t r.

It was, however, defended both by the pseeent and tine government.

Mr. B. ijeas:"- deprecated this interruption of the . debate at an hour (quaa,'"er to eleven}), when it might be mimed to a conclusion. ss'so thought that proposal for adjourn- Lord PAIALERSTON pent was unnecessary att,sl The House divided —For do;ourinog the debate, 66; against, SiS ' • majority, 111. Mr. P. HE.NNESSY observed that motion before the House only recommended inquiry. He argatC.t; that sufficient pre?of of, the shortcomings of the nation a l s y s t em amid of the dissatisfac tion entertained towards both by Protesiarl! , s grid Catholics, to justify investigation. After a few remarks in reply from Mr. I. Butt, the House divided—For th e reso l u ti on, 62 ; aga i nst, 196; majority, 134. Lord BERNDT moved, by way of a resolution : "That the rejection by the House of Lords of the Bill for the Repeal of the Paper Duties is' an encroachment on the rights and Privileges of the House of Commons; and it is, therefore, incumbent upon this House to adopt a practical measisrp for the vindication of its rights and privileges." The House, he observed, had taken the matter rather easily, but great indig nation had been excited among the public at late invasion by the Housa of Lords of the privileges of their representatives. The resolutions, based upon the report g of a committee, had been adopted by the House setting forth the rightsofthe Commons 'in matters of finance, and these resolutions, when traced to their logical consequences, invol some practical action in order to vindicate the violated isi ve r t ttsath:e of theare o m s b e l i n The most practical way of effecting this would b t the bill back again to the House of Lords, The motion was seconded by Sir J. Trela e Lord PALXF.RSTON submitted that a serious judgment v. could hardly be pronounced upon a great constitutional question, • after a discussion decommenceearty at midnight. He thought ienty debated and properly the subject had been already settled. He moved the previous question. Sir J. TRELAWNEY supported the resolution. Mr. GLADSTONE concurred in thinking that the resolution Was inappropriate, both in form and time and supported the amendment moved by Lord Palmerston. Mr. B. OsnoRNE thought that the C hancellor of the Exchequer had acted incorrectly, and the House of Lords had acted un constitutional. He thought, also, 'that the resolution was unpracticable and ill-timed. After some remarks from Mr. CoYlihigh am. Mr. DISRAELI commented upon the inconstant eonduat, the contrary opinion, and distracted eouncns of the different members of the present Government. It was he contended, a -paltry, though perhaps convenient, method of evading the real issue by moving the previous question, and lie challenged the +Government to meet the present motion by a bold and direst - negative. der G.

The remaining orders of the day were disposed of, and the Rouse adjourned at twenty-five minutes to three. HARVEST PROSPECTS ON THE CONTINENT. The latest accounts received by the Minister of Agriculture and Commerce as to the appearance of growing crops in France, favour the hope of a good average year. There is one remarkable fact to be observed, which is, that every crop is good of its kind—corn, hay, the vines, and all descrip tions of fruit. The accounts from the ports on the Baltic are not favourable. The reports from Italy generally are good, with the exception of Naples. The accounts from Spain are favourable, except those from Catalonia. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Brown and Bacon most respectfully announce to their customers, and the public generally, that .they keep a large and well-selected stock of articles required for Family Mourning; and that all Funeral and Mourning orders are attended to with the greatest care and economy. Magazin : 81, 33, and 85, Bold-street.—Adv. CORONER'S COURT. —Yesterday the Coroner opened an inquest on the body v,f John Draper, 43 years old, who died on Monday morning, at Back Claremont-grove, Kirkdale. He was a labourer in the brick fields, and, as his death is alleged to be mysterious, the inquest was adjourned to this day, in order to hay a post-mortem examination made. A MAN FOUND DROWNED.—A man, apparently a seaman, of about thirty years of age, was found floating in the river yesterday, opposite the Rock-ferry slip, by the coxswain of the Akbar boat. He was in a very advanced state of decomposition, and must have remained in the water for a length of time. He has not been recognised. The body was conveyed to the Rock-ferry Hotel, where an inquest will be held to-day. A CHARGE OF ASSAULT AGAINST A POLICE-OFFICER. —On Saturday last, county constable Downs, of the Cheshire force, was summoned to appear before Mr. Bouch and Mr. Holland, on a charge of assaulting a Mr. Hughes, who keeps the pay-bridge at Poulton-cum- Seacombe. Mr. Bretherton appeared for the com plainant, and Mr. Pemberton for the defendant. It appeared that some days since a man named Potter rolled a cart up to the complainant's pay-bridge for a "lark," and caused a disturbance. The constable came up and asked what the noise was about, when the complainant gave him some abuse, and they had a scuffle together. The case was dismissed. THE AMERICAN MAILS.—The steam-ship Bohemia, will leave the Mersey this forenoon for Quebec and Montreal, with the Canadian Mail. Letters can be posted at the General Post-office up to 9 a.m. The City of Washington will sail this afternoon for New York.

FELONY.—At the County Magistrates' Court yesterday, a woman named Margaret M'Donaugh, and her husband, John M'Donaugh, were brought before Messrs. Myers and Rides on a charge of stealing a number of articles, the property of a Mrs. Graham, Church-road, Stanley, in the township of West Derby. The female prisoner, who hawked shawls and other things, was seen by Sarah Ann Green in the prosecutrix's garden, and abstracting a lady's companion and several other articles from the parlour. The prisoner then rejoined her husband, who stood at some distance off. The rasa was discharged, and the woman sent for trial. ROYAL DRAMATIC COLLEGE: FANCY FAIR 4.NE. FETE AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE. -So successful was the fancy fair and fete at the laying of the foundation stone of the Royal Dramatic College at Maybury, that the council have determined to repeat it with increased e clat at the Crystal Palace next Saturday. 4bout forty of the prettiest and most popular of the metropolitan actresses will preside at the stalls; and in the grounds Buc.kstone, Toole, Paul Bedford, and Compton will have "Aunt Sallies," " cheap-John carts," nut-barrows," &C.

CRICKET MATCH.—Yesterday a very interesting match was commenced on the field under the Wavertree bridge, between :the gentlemen denominated the " I Zingari " and the Liverpool Club. The former are the guests of the Earl of Sefton, who was op the field, together with a large assemblage of ladies and gentlemen, who showed a great deal of interest in the game. Ibo band of the Lancashire Hussars, • Sir John Gerard's company, attended, and enlivened the proceedings witb some excellent music. The play on both sides was very good. The Zingari was, however, the favourites in the sporting circle. The match will be continued to-day. The following is the score up to last night : I ZINGARI. _ ..... ...... FIRST INNINGS.

The Quarterly Sessions, for the Kirkdale division of the county, were opened yesterday, in the Court-room attached to the gaol, the chair being occupied by Lord Stanley. The other magistrates present were Messrs. W. Hall, George Artingstall, J. G. Morris, George M'Corquodale, Robert Neilson, R. Theakstone, Colonel Blackburne, Major Chambers, and Major Bourne. On the recommendation of the Finance Committee it was agreed to grant £l6O for hundred bridges and £2O for the county bridges. Mr. Elgee, chief constable, submitted the following report : " In laying before you the accompanying returns and criminal statistics, I have the honour to report that the number of per sons apprehended and summoned during the quarter has been greater than during the two preceding quarters, and that in the offence of drunkenness, more especially, there appears to have been a considerable increase. The aggregate amount of clime, however, varies but little from the corresponding quarter of last year. " The conduct of the force has been good ; at the same time I am sorry to observe, that forty-six resignations have occurred in it within the last three months. I attribute them, for the most part, to the demand for labour existing at present, and the consequent increase in the rate ,of wages amongst the class of which the force is principally composed. I brought this subject to the notice of the Constabulary Committee in May ; and at the last General Annual Session a committee. was appointed to consider whether it is not advisable to increase the pay of the police force. I q.m., therefore, induced to hope that steps will be taken calculated to preyent so many changes in future. "The free is now twenty-nine constables below its autho 7 deed establishment of 686.

The Governor submitted his report, from which it appeared that the clauses of the Gaol Act had been complied with as far as practicable, and that the condi tion of the establishment was good.

I Review Head 9narters, 4th Brigade Lancashire Artillery Volun teers, C Baser:gent, Liverpool and London Insurance Chambers, Dale-street, LiFerpool, dub' i 7, 1860. I have much pleasure in publishing the fol lowing extracts from a letter received from Colonel M•Murdo, C. 8., Inspector-General of Volunteers: " I have to request that you will express to the officers, non-commissioned officers, and privates of the volunteer force which was under your command this day, the satisfaction with which I witnessed their several movements; and I shall have pleasure in com municating to the Secretary of State for War my opinion of the steady AA s.ckdier-like manner in which these were performed. Much has been dpne towards the efficiency of artillery and rifle volunteers of Liver pool and its ne ighbourhood, and the spectacle of to-day has added lustre to their service. It only remains now to complete the development of that efficiency." 2. As regards the artillery brigades, Colonel M`Murdo further adds : "I trust that the arrangements for carrying on gun practice, which are being made by the officer command ing the Royal Artillery in the district, will soon place at the disposal of her Majesty, for the defence of the country, a force of 2,000 trained gunners, drawn from among the most intelligent classes of the people of Lancashire:: A hope in whiCh I heartily concur ; and I trust that the brigades of artillery, by taking advantage of the oppor tunities thus to be placed at their disposal, will continue to maintain the reputation of the county, and the effi ciency of that branch of the service in which I am more immediately interested. 3. It was a source of great gratification to me to witness the steadiness and soldier-like bearing of the battalions of rifles. 4. avail myself of this opportunity to thank those officers who so kindly placed their services at my dis posal ; and I am much indebted to Major Chambers and Captain Stanhope, who acted as Brigade-Majors; to Captains Bradish, Tyndall Bright, and Ryrie, who so ably superintended the arrival and departure of the troops at the different railway stations ; to Major Greig, head constable of Liverpool; and to Captain Elgee, chief constable of the county, by whose excellent arrangements, in their several departments, the most perfect order was preserved throughout. I cannot conclude without expressing my very great satisfaction at the Taper in which every movement was peril/trued' by he tivOino I had tho hotio4, to —I have the honour to be, sir, your obedient servant, JAMES BOURNE, Lieut.-Colonel Commanding Division. ADVENTURES IN Ina ARFTIC gEGIONS.—DanieI W. Hall, son of William Hall,. of this city, arrived at this port on Tuesday, in the barque Frances Henrietta, having been from home forty-six months, eight and a half months of which time was passed in the northern regions of the Pacific, during an Arctic winter. Young Hall sailed in the ship condor, in 1856, being at that time fifteen years of age. At the last of the second season in the Ochotsk Sea, while in the southwest bay, October Ist, 18.58, the second mate killed a whale and anchored him. Next day the second and third mates' boats went for the whale, but not finding him pro ceeded to a native settlement, Jimakan, at the head of the bay, to stop during the night. Here young Hall and another boy, named Elias D. Tolman, belonging near Amherst, in this State, concluded to run away, having been ill-used and recently whipped on board the ship. The boats went away in the morning without the boys, and finding the whale, pro ceeded to the ship. On the ith, the ship sailed for Felizstoff, and thence to the Sandwich Islands, not sending nor looking for the boys according to their story. The place selected by the young sailors for their winter quarters was the inhospitable country at the mouth of the River Udskoi, in lat. 57 N., but as the season advanced they proceeded with the natives to settlements up the river seventy-five miles. The people were rpostly Russians, who treated the boys with great kindness during the whole time of their stay among them. They suffered considerably from hunger, and Hall was very sick for three weeks with a disease somewhat like fever and ague. During the winter ti!illeell o f the native Tongoes died of this disease. • Their food consisted mostly of fish and a sort of horse-beef. In June, 1859, Captain Morrison, of the ship Daniel Wood, of this port, (having seen an advertisement at Honolulu in re lation to Hall), sent a boat into the Bay and took the boys on board his ship, where they stayed during the season, and were brought to the Sandwich Islands. We understand that young Hall has a journal of hit ter= rible winter's experience, which will be published at some future time. Legal action was commenced some tine by Mr. gall against Captain Whiteside, of the Condor, for abandoning his son'on an inhospitable which has not been concluded.—Aew Zedlord Sianclatel. LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT.-YESTERDAY. (Before Mr. RAFFLES.) TIM TOBIN'S BATH. A powerful-looking young fellow named Timothy Tobin, dressed as a sailor was brought up by Officer 521, who said about four o'clock yesterday, I was informed by a boy that there was a man drowning in the canal, near Burlington street Bridge. I ran up and saw the prisoner in the canal and a boy struggling with him, to prevent him drowning. I went to his assistance, when he pulled me in, and perhaps we would have been all drowned but for a boatman, who came and assisted me to "get out the prisoner. When we got him out he plunged and swore he must get into the canal again; that he did not wish to live any longer, and must drown him self. It was as much as we could do to get him to the station house. Mr. Raffles : Was he drunk ? Yes, sir, very drunk. Mr. Raffles : What have you to say to this charge ? Prisoner : Nothing, sir; for I do not remember what happened at all. Mr. Raffles: Will you take care of yourself? Yes, sir; I would not drown myself if I had my senses about me. He was then discharged, with a caution as to his future conduct. (Curious enough, the name of the policeman in this case is Timothy Tobin also). WHY JOHN KEEGAN GOT DRUNK. A young fellow named John Keegan was charged with being drunk and disorderly in Mill-street. The officer stated that on Monday evening, he saw the prisoner in Mill-street, creating a considerable disturbance ; he was drunk, and as he refused to go away, he was obliged to take him into custody. The prisoner, in answer to the charge, said—My mother got mar ried on Sunday, and as I was not satisfied, I got drunk on Monday. This his worship considered a sufficient excuse, and discharged the prisoner. STEALING BUTTER. Joseph Kelly was charged with stealing a firkin of butter ; value £3 175., the property of Mr. Ringland,Whitechapel. _ . appeared that on Monday, a carter was taking some 26 casks of butter from one of the docks to Whitechapel, and on passin g along Vulcan-street, a man named George Clements saw three men take one of the firkins off the cart and lay it in a passage. The prisoner, who was one of the men, went to the passage and took the firkin on his shoulder, and was walking off when he was given into custody. In reply to the magistrate, the prisoner said he found the butter in the street, and did not think it any harm to take it home. He was remanded until the other men could be arrested. CHARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT. Hugh Reed was brought up on remand, charged with baying embezzled about £4O belonging to Mr. Wm. Gibson. Mr. Cobb was for the prosecution, and Mr. Block for the prisoner. The case was opened on Monday, and it was proved that the prisoner received certain sums that he did not pay over. Mr. Bluck tried to establish a partnership, but failed ; and the prisoner was sent for trial. CHARGE OF MANSLAUGHTER ON THE HIGH SEAS. At the morning sittings of tht Police-court yesterday, Hugh Galbraith, a cooper on board the ship Earl of Derby, belonging to Messrs. Stewart and Douglas, was brought up charged with the manslaughter of a sailor, named John Mackay, on the voyage from Bonny to Liverpool. Mr. Bremner, instructed by the owners of the ship, appeared for the prisoner.—Mr. Kehoe said the prisoner was charged with the manslaughter of John Mackay ; there was no one present who saw the trans action, and although there was not any one who wit nessed the affair, the captain thought it his duty to bring forward the case from what was told him. It was alleged that the prisoner kicked the man, and that he died in half an hour after being kicked ; but it was only right to state that the man was in a very bad state of health, and that although the kicking might not have caused death, it might have accelerated death.—Captain Francis Wm. Stafford, the master of the ship, was produced, and said he made an entry in the log book of what he heard. He then read an entry made in the log, on the 9th July, iu lat. 48 53 N., and lon. 18 36 W., which was to the effect that the steward came to him and said a man named Jones told him that the prisoner had kicked Mackay; went and saw him sitting, and asked what was the matter, but no one made answer, and then the prisoner came with some water, and said he was very sorry that he struck the man, but denied that he had kicked him—but that he had struck him for stealing some shoes from him and selling them to another man. The deceased was not sensible, and died in about half an hour after. He then made the entry in the log and read it to the prisoner, when he again said he never kicked the deceased at all. In reply to Mr. Bremner, the captain said he had no entry of kicking in the log-book. The prisoner seemed very sorry and cried like a child, and appeared almost out of his mind at what happened. He thought the deceased was in a fit; he did not exhibit any appearance of injury, but did not examine his body particularly. Rubbed him with hartsborn and spirits, but could not get anything down his throat ; but he showed no consciousness, and if he had not heard of the kicking he would say that the man had died in a fit. Examined his head, but saw nothing to lead him to con clude that violence was used ; and if be had not heard of his being struck, he would say the man died from natural canses. He had known the prisoner for two years, and he is very quiet and yespectable.—Mr. Brem ner said that the prisoner 40 been in the employment of Messrs. Stewart and Douglas for eight years ; and there is now over £6O due to him.—The prisoner was allowed out en bail for seven days. VOLUNTEER REVIEW AT AINTREE.

The Right Hon. the President of the Board of Trade presided over a preliminary meeting, at which the officers of the Congress were appointed, and the regula tions for the general meeting and the sections adopted. His Royal Highness the Prince Consort arrived at four o'clock, when he was received at the grand entrance by the leading members of the organisation commission, and a company of the Westminster (Queen's Own) Rifle Volunteers formed a guard of honour. His Royal High ness on entering was loudly cheered, and the band of the Rifts played the National Anthem. The Prince Consort, having taken the presidential chair, delivered the following inaugural address, which was frequently applauded : His Royal Highness addressed the meeting as follows : —Gentlemen,--The Statistical Congress of all Nations has been invited by the government to hold its fifth meeting in this metropolis, in conformity to the wishes expressed by the late congress held at Vienna in 1857. Although under these circumstances it would have been more properly within the province of a member of the government and minister of the Crown to fill this chair and open the proceedings of the day, as has been the case in previous meetings of the congress in other places, the nature of the institutions and the habits of the people of the country in which this assembly was to take place could not fail to make itself felt and to influence its organisation. We are a people possessing and enjoying the most intense political life, in which every question of interest or importance to the, nation is publicly canvassed and debated. The whole nation, as it were, from the highest to the lowest, takes an active part in these debates, and arrives at a juilgiueut with regard to them on the collective result of the thoughts aid opinions thus called forth. This congress could, therefore, only be either a private meeting of the delegates of different governments, discussing special questions of interest in the midst of the general bustle of political activity, or it had to assume a public and a national (distracter, addres sing itself to the public at large, and inviting its co operation. The government have chosen the latter alternative, and have been met by the readiest response from all sides. They have, I think, wisely chosen ; for it is of the utmost importance to the object the congress has in view—namely, not only the diffusion of statis tical information, but also the acquisition of a general acknowledgment of the usefulness and importance of this branch of human knowledge —that the public, as a whole, should take up the questions which' are intended to be investigated, and ((liquid lend its powerful aid. Gentlemen, this explains, and must serve as an apology for my presuming to hold thu post of your president, for which I otherwise feel full well my unworthiness. When, however, the commissioners for the organisation of the congress expressed to me their desire that jC should do so, r felt it incumbent upon rue not to withhold my individual co-operation, carrying with it, as it would, an assurance to the British people that the object of the meeting was one which had enlisted the sympathy of the Queen, and testifying to the foreign delegates the esteem in which she holds them personally, and her apprecia tion of the science which they serve. Let them now wel come them to this country, and welcome them on behalf of this country. It is here that the idea of an International Statistical Congress took its origin, when delegates and visitors from all nations had assembled to exhibit in noble rivalry the products of their science, skill, and industry in the Qreat Rxbibitice of 4851; it 4 here that the statistical science was earliest developed ; and Dr. Farr has well reminded us that England has been called, by no less an authority than Bernoulli, " the cradle of political arithmetic," and that we may even appeal to our Domesday Book as one of the most ancient and complete monuments of the science in existence. It is this country also which will and must derive the greatest benefits from the achievements of this science, and which will consequently have most cause to be grateful to you for the result of your labours. Gentlemen, old as your science is, and undeniable as are the benefits which it has rendered to mankind, it is yet little understoOd by the multitude, new in it acknowledged position among the other sciences, and still subject to many vulgar preju dices. It is little understood, for it is dry and unpa latable to the general public in its simple arithmeticql expressions representing living facts (which as such are capable of arousing the liveliest sympathy) in dry figures and tables for comparison. Much labour is required to wade through endless columns of figures, much patience to master them, and some skill to draw any definite and safe conclusions from the mass of material which it presents to the student ; while the value of the information offered depends exactly upon its bulk, increasing in proportion with its quantity and comprehensiveness. It hds been little understood, also, front the peculiar and often unilistifiable use which has been made of it, For the very fact of its difficulty and the patience required in reading up and verifying the statistical figures which may be referred to by an author in support of his theories and opinions, protect him to a certain extent from scru tiny, and tempt him to draw largely upon so convenient and available a capital. The public generally connect, therefore, in their minds statistics, if not with unwelconie taxation (for which they naturally 'form an 'important basis), certainly with political contro vers i es, in which they are in the habit of seeing public men making use of the most opposite statistical results with equal assu rance in support of the most opposite arguments. A great and distinguished French minister and statesman is even quoted as baying boasted of the invention of what he is said to have called " l'art de grouper les chiffres ;" but if the same ingenuity and enthusiasm trbioh may have suggeoteri to hint this art obould hare tempted him or others, as historians, to group facts also, it would be no' more' reasonable to male the his torical facts answerable for the use made of them, than it would be to make statistical science responsible for many an ingenious financial statement. Yet this science has suffered materially in public estimation by such use, although the very fact that statesmen, financiers, physi cians, and naturalists should seek to support their state ments and doctrines by statistics, shows conclusively that they all acknowledge them as the foundation of truth, and this ought, therefore, to raise instead of depressing the scheme in the general esteem of the public. Statistical science is, as I have said, comparatively new in its position among the scipws in gene,tal, and we must look for the cause of this tardy recognition to the fact that it has the appearance of an incomplete science, and of being rather a helpmate to other sciences than having a right to claim that title for itself. But this is an appearance only ; for if pure statistics abstain from participating in the last and highest aim of all science —viz., the discovery and expounding the laws which govern the universe, and leave this duty to their more favoured sisters, the natural and the political sciences, this is done with conscious self-abnegation, for the purpose of protecting the purity and slinpliciti , of their sacred task—the accumulation and verification of facts, unbiassed by any consideration of the ulterior use which may or can be made of them. Those general laws therefore, in the knowledge of which Nye recognise one of the highest treasures of man on earth, are loft unestpressed t though rendered self-ap,parcut, qs they may be rend, in the uncompromising, rigid figures placed before him. It is difficult to see how, Unde r such circumstances, and notwithstanding this self imposed, abnegation, statistical science, as such should be subject to prejudice, reproach, and attack, and yet the fact cannot be denied. We hear it said that its prosecution leads necessarily to Pantheism and the destruction of true religion, as depriving, in man's estimation, the Almighty of His power of free self-determination, making His world a mere machine, working according to a general pre-arranged scheme, the parts of w l .l.in are capable of mathematical measure-, meat, and the scheme itself of numerical expresi9n • • that it leads to fatelism, and, the_rdot : e i ete ' pr.7,:es man of his dignity, of his virtue and morality, as it would prove him to be a mere wheel in this machine, ityedx\hle of exercising a free choice of action, but Keclestined to fulfil a given task and to tun a prescribed course ? wheihu for good or for evil. These are grave accusations, and would be terrible, indeed, if they were true. But are they true ? Is the power of God destroyed or dimi nished by the discovery of the fact that the earth requires 365, revolutions upon its own axis to every revolution round the sun, giving us so many days to our year, and that the moon changes thirteen times during that period, that the tide changes every six hours, that water boils at a temperature of 212 degrees according to Fahrenheit, that the nightingale sings only in April and May, that all birds lay eggs, that 106 boys are born to every 100 girls ? Or is man a less free agent because it has been ascertained that a generation lasts about thirty years, that there are annually posted at the post offices the same number of letters on which the writer had forgotten to place any address; that the number of crimes committed under the same local, national, and social conditions is constant ; that the full-grown man ceases to find amuse ment in the sports of the child ? But our statistical science does not even say that this must be so ; it only states that it has been so, and leaves it to the naturalist or political economist to argue that it is probable, from the number of times in which it has been found to be so, that it will be so again as long as the same causes are operating. It thus gave birth to that part of mathematical science called the calculation of probabilities, and even esta blished the theory that in the natural world there exists no certainties at all, but only probabilities. Although this doctrine, destroying man's feeling of security to a certain extent, has startled and troubled some, it is no less true that, while we may reckon with a thoughtless security on the sun rising to-morrow, this is only a probable event, the probability of which is capable of being expressed by a determined mathematical fraction. Our insurance offices have, from their vast collection of statistical facts, established to such a precision the probable duration of man's life, that they are able to enter with each individual into a precise bargain on the value of his life ; and yet this does not imply an impious pretension to determine when this individual is really to die. But we are met also by the most opposite objection, and statistics are declared useless, because they cannot be relied on for the determination of any given case, and do only establish probabilities where man requires and asks for certainty. This objection is well founded, but it does not affect the science itself, but solely the use which man has in vain tried to make of it, and for which it is not intended. It is the essence of the statistical science that it only makes apparent general laws, but that these laws are inappli cable to any special case; that, therefore, what is proved to be laws in general is uncertain in particular. Herein lies the refutation also of the first objection, and thus it is the power, wisdom, and goodness of the Creator manifested, showing how the Almighty has estab lished the physical and moral world on unchange able laws conformable to His eternal nature, while He has allowed to the individual the freest and fullest use of his faculties, vindicating at the same time the majesty of His laws by their remaining un affected by individual self-determination. Gentlemen, I am almost ashamed to speak such homely truths (of which I feel myself at best to be a very inadequate exponent) to a meeting like this, including men of such eminence in the science, and particularly in the presence of one who was your first president, M. Quete let, and from whom I had the privilege, now 24 years ago, to receive my first instruction in the higher branches of mathematics—one who has so successfully directed his great abilities to the application of the science to those social phenomena, the discovery of the governing laws of which can only be approached by the accumula tion and reduction of statistical facts. It is the social condition of mankind, as exhibited by those facts, which form the chief object of the study and investigation undertaken by this congress, and it hopes that the results of its labours will afford to the statesman and legislator a sure guide in his endeavours to promote social develop ment and happiness. The importance of these inter national congresses in this respect cannot be overrated. They not only awaken public attention to the value of these pursalts, bring together men ,of all ponntries who devote their lives tQ them, and who are thus enabled to exchange their thoughts and varied' experiences ; but they pave the way to an agreement among different governments and nations to follow up these common enquiries, in a common spirit, by a common method, and for a common end. It is only in 'the largest number of observations that the law becomes apparent and the truth becomes more and more to be relied upon the larger the amount of facts accurately observed which form the basis of its elucidation. It is consequently of the highest importance that observations identical in character should embrace the largest field of observation attainable. It is not sufficient, however, to collect the statistical facts of one class over the greatest area and to the fullest amount, but we require, in order to arrive, at sound conclusions as to the influences operating in producing these facts, the simultaneous col lection of the greatest variety of facts, the statistics of the increase of population, of marriages, births, and deaths, of 'emigration, disease, crime, education, and occupation, ef the products of sgriegituras & Maaufsaure, of the results of trade, commerce, and finance. Nur, while their comparison becomes an essential element in the investigation of our social condition, does it suffice to obtain these observations as a whole, but we require also, and particularly, the comparison of these same classes of facts in different countries, under the varying influences of political and religious conditions, of occu pation, races, and climates. And even this comparison of the same facts in different localities does not give us all the necessary materials from which to draw our con clusions ; for we require, as much as anything else, the collection of observations of the same classes of facts in the same localities and Under the same conditions, but at different times. It is only the element of time, in the last instance, which enables us to test progress or regress—that is to say, life. Thus the physician, by feeling the pulse of the greatest number of persons coming under his observation, old and young, male and female, and at all seasons, arrives at the average number of the 'pulsa tions of the heart in man's normal condition ; by feeling the pulse of the same.person under the most varied circum stances and conditions, he arrives at a conclusion on this person's pulse. Again, by feeling the pulse of the greatest variety of persons suffering from the same dis ease, ascertains the general cOndiiion of the pulse under the influence of that disease ; it is row only that, feeling a particular patient's pulse, he will be able to . . judge whether this person is afflicted by this peculiar disease, as far as that can be ascertained by its influence on the pulse. But all these comparisons of the different classes of facts under different local conditions, and at different times, of which I have been speaking, depend, not only as to their usefulness, and as to the ease with which they can be undertaken, but even as to the possi bility of undertaking them at all, on the similarity, nay, congruity of the method employed, and the expressions, figures, and conicitions selected under which the observa tions have been taken. noes, then, the world at large not owe the deepest obligations to a congress such as the one I am addressing, which has made it its especial task to produce this assimilation, and to place at the command of man the accumulated experience upon his own condition, scientifically elaborated and reduced in a manner to enable the meanest intellect to draw safe conclusions? Gentlemen, the congress has at various meetings succeeded in doing a great deal in this cl4ectiOn; the official statistics of ail Countries have been improved, and in *rii4rd to the census the recommendations of the Brussels meeting have been generally carried out in a majority of states. I am sorry to have to admit the existence of some striking exceptions in England in this respect.; for instance, the census of Great Britain ' and Ireland was not taken on precisely the same plan in essential particulars, thereby dimi nishing its value for general purposes. The judicial statistics of England and Wales do not show a com plete comparative view of the operation of our judicial establishments ; nor, while we are io all the depart ments of the state most actively e n gage d in the prepa ration of valuable statistics, can we deny certain defects in our returns, which must be traced to the want of such a central authority or commission as was recom mended by the congress at Brussels and Paris, to direct on a general plan all the great statistical operations to be prepared by the various departments. Such a com mission would be most useful in preparing an annual digest of the statistics of the United Kingdom, of our widely-scattered colonies, and of our vast Indian empire. , From such a digest the most important results could not fail to be elicited. One of the mast useful results of the labogs of the congress has been the common agreement of al states to . inquire into the causes of every death, and to return the deaths from the same causes under synonymous names, sanctioned by the congress. It has in this instance set the example of establishing what is most desirable in all other branchs of statistics —namely, the agreement upon well-defined terms. There ought to .gist no greater difficulty in arriving at such an • agreement in the case of the various crimes that in that of "causes of death:" and it must be remembered that it is one of the first tasks and duties of every science to start with a definition of terms. What is it that is meant • by r honse, a family, an adult, an educated or an'unedu catel person ; by murder, manslaughter, and sot on? It is e'ident that as long as a different sense is. attached to the terms in different returns their use for comparison is s.'i, and for simple, study. very much deteriorated ; and still' we have not yet arrived at snch a, simple and Obvious desideratum !. The different weights, measures, and currencies in vitiCli different statistics are expressed cause Indite; difficulties and impediments. Sug gestions with regard to the removal of these have been mace at former meetings, and will no doubt be renewed. We tancy here that our pound, as the largest available unit, with its florin, offers great advantages, particu lady if further subdivided decimally. We li, , pe to lay before you, as far as Great Britain, is concerned, the Registrar-General's analys:.,s, of, the causes or 4ath, and the clingers that people - lieottutpl tifeaCh period of life ; -or - n'eW returns of tie D'" oduce - o( our mines ; tbe . acri- cultulAl rtt''''ns of Ireland, in which, the Regi,strac- uencral of that eountrylhas giv,eueXCl;Y, y . ear ;10,9 l i gi s ew of lid 1 •141IeT VqY IFAcI 9 s , cx9,v, \(W xis A- 1 * ...,u 149ikkees as w.el‘ as 44 YAilit. s" • • • in, alitaini Shay na ~tiniate of its ~,u has proved by his success ~e facts at a comparatively moderate ex . ---; penseand by the voluntary assistance of the landowners and cultivators, as well as of the clergy °fall denominations, that the apprehension was groundless that it could not be done without inordinate cost or without injuring individual interests. We must hope that, considering its import ance with regard to all questions affecting the food of the people, this inquiry will not only be extended to England and Scotland, but also to the Continent gene rally, wherever it may not already have been instituted. Our trade returns will exhibit the great effects pro duced on our commerce by the changes in our com mercial system; our colonial delegates will exhibit to you proofs of the wonderful progress of their countries, and proofs at the same time that elaborate statistics have rendered them conscious of that progress. And I have no doubt that the foreign delegates will more than repay us by the information which they will give us in exchange. These returns will, no doubt, prove to us afresh in figures what we know already from feeling and from expression —how dependent the different nations are upon each other for their progress, for their moral and material prosperity, and that the essential condition of their mutual happiness is the maintenance of peace and goodwill among each other. . Let them still be rivals, but rivals in the noble race of social improvement, in which, although it may be the lot of one to arrive first at the goal, yet all will equally share the prize, all feeling their own powers and strength incre ase i n t h e h ea lthy com petition. I should detain you longer than I feel justified in doing, and should perhaps trench upon the domain and duties of presidents of sections, if I were to allude to the points which will there be specially recommended to your attention and consideration ; but I trust that it will not be thought presumptuous in me if I exhort you generally not to lose yourselves in points of minute detail, however tempting and attractive they may be from their intrinsic interest and import ance, but to direct your undivided energies to the establishment of those broad principles upon which the common action of different nation; c be based, which 'common action must be effected if we are to make real progress. I know that this congress can only suggest and recommend, and that it must ultimately rest with the different governments to carry out those suggestions. Many previous recommendations, it is true, have been carried out, but many have been left unattended to, and I will not except our own country from blame in this respect. Happy and proud, indeed, should I feel if this noble gathering should be enabled to lay the solid foun dation of an edifice, necessarily slow of construction, and requiring for generations to come laborious and perse vering exertion, intended as it is for the promotion of human happiness by leading to the discovery of those eternal laws upon which that universal happiness is dependent. May He, who has implanted in our hearts a craving after the discovery of truth, and given us our reasoning faculties to the end that we should use them for this discovery, sanctify our efforts, and bless them in their results. Lord Brougham immediately rose, and amidst much cheering said,—May I be permitted to say a word, and I will not speak as to the address which we have just heard, but of his- Royal Highness who delivered it. (Applause.) I rise to give vent, or to enable you to give vent to your feelings of gratitude and respect to his Royal Highness for his most able, comprehensive, well reasoned, and most useful address. (Loud cheers.) It is unnecessary for me to say one other word, for I know you will at once testify whether or not you will duly and heartily express your feelings to his Royal Highness on this all-important occasion. (Hear, hear.) I will only ask you to hold up your hands, and I am sure if you bad three hands each you would as readily hold them all up. (Laughter:) I cannot but feel that we ought to be greatly indebted to his Royal Highness, for the St. Swithin of yesterday has kept his word to-day, and yet that has not prevented his Royal Highness from coming, nor has it prevented this large assembly here to-day. (Cheers.) The thanks of the meeting were then most warmly accorded to his Royal Highness, who having in a word thanked Lord Brougham, His Excellency the Brazilian Minister addressed his Royal Highness in the French language ; and, on behalf of the foreign delegates present, begged to thank his Royal Highness for the great amount of valuable infor mation contained in his able inaugural address, and also —and most warmly—for the kind and cordial reception which had been given to himself and brother delegates. The Prince Consort assured those gentlenpri who had come from distant parts that they received a most hearty welcome personally, aAal l o because he was sure the in formation they would impart in their different sections would be of the greatest value to the subjects they had met to discuss. Lord Brougham directed the attention of the meeting to the fact that they had a coloured delegate presen,t, and hoped Mr. Dallas, the American mihister, - would not feel any scruples on that subject. Mr. Delaney, the coloured geutletuan alluded to, rose and begged to be allowed to, express his high respect to his lordship, who had always been the uudinching ad vocate of the negro. (Loud eheers). The Prirde Consort then formally announced that the Congress was opened for the transaction of ordinary business. His Royal Highness expressed his intention of being present on every day of the congress, and o visiting each of the sections during the morning. The proceedings of the day then terminated. EXTRAORDINARY CONFESSION OF 4 MURDER AT MALTONt A most strange confession of a murder, alleged to have been committed at or near Malton in February last, has been wade by a private, named Roberts, of the 30th Regiment, now undergoing an imprisonment in Dublin for desertion. The man's statement is to the effect, that on the night of the murder he was drinking along with two others, also deserters from another regi ment, in company with a cattle dealer named Shea, with whom they afterwards proceeded on the road to York, and, after going a short way, murdered and buried him in a wood on the left of the road, first robbing the body of £6O in notes, after which they went to York, and afterwards to the West Riding, when Roberts obtained work as a miner, but eventually delivered himself up as a deserter. A persistence in these statements caused the North Riding police force to be put in possession of the facts, and Superintendent Smith, with assistants, of the Mallon station, have since been assiduously engaged in examining the locality, and also the river, but no trace of the body can be found. The man, however, still states that the murder was committed, and that they buried the body in a little wood near Mallon, on the left of the road. The self-accusgd murderer desires to conduct the police to. Ow place of burial, at the ex tiort of 4 1 .4 inWrisonment, if permitted to do so brae military authorities. The man is said to be of perfectly sound wind, which renders it difficult to believe the thing a mere delusion, especially .as the description of the road between York and Malton is correct. The police, however, have hitherto failed to trace a man of the name of Shea. The Secretary of State has been communicated with, with a v i ew to re the opportunitynioving th e pris oner by habeas cer P4s , in cTelie to, g ive ` of bringit\g him to. MAton, to clear up the mystery. ' An old lady, named Mrs, Sarah Ann Bull, residing at Lewes, has been poisoned by au overdose of prussic acid, administered by her son, who is a surgeon, but who was intoxicated at the time of pouring out the liquid. He has been committed for manslaughter. SPOTS ON THE SUN—At no former period of obset- : vatiou, according to the bulletin of the Paris Observatory, have so many spots been seen on the sun as (luring the last fortnight. They are not oniy remarkable for their number, but also for their maguitade. ney occupy for the most part two zones parallel to the solar equator, along which they are disposed in from feu to twelve groups, containing about sixty spots. GOLD.—We hale before us some pretty specimens of native gold, and auriferous quartz of exceeding richness, from an important vein lately discovered in the town ship of Granby, C.F., one of the townships of the great mineral basin of Lower Canada, to the south of the St. Lawrence, in continuation of the Acton formation. This gold is found on the property of Mr. William Hungerford, lot No. 18, in the tenth range, of Granby. It occurs in a vein of quartz in, a greenish state, associ ated with a viti:ecys aulpburet of copper. The gold presents itself Most particularly in disintegrated portions of the quartz lode in pieces from the size of a pea down wards.—Portions of the quartz are very rich, but what proportion these bear to the whole mass we are not yet prepared to say. From the information, however,which we have received, the discovery appears to be the most important yet made in the Canadian Gold Region_ This region in Lower Canada 'eludes 10,000 square miles, as demonstrated in the geological survey, The source of the gold is undoubtedly here as in California and Aus tralia—quartz veins. If then, as we are warranted in believing, one of these veins has been discovered at Granby, we may expect that it will be largely pro ductive, With unlimited water power, cheap fuel and labour, in a healthy country, where law and order reign, auriferous quartz far below the standard of that crushed in California and Australia will pay for working. If the quantity of the auriferous minclal is large and easily wun, a very small amount of gold, with cheap labour and skilful manipulation will pay for working. Thus in Hungary the mix ture is raised from a depth of 200 fathoms, ;Aid although yielding only one-tenth of an oun,c‘a. to the ton, is pro fitably worked.

The Prince lauded at Southampton from the royal yacht Fairy, and travelled by a special train on the southwestern Railway to the private station at Vauxhall.

Lewis, Home Secretary, has despatched Inspector Whicher, of the metropolitan detective police, to Road, for the purpose of endeavouring to dissipate the mvstery'whih still hangs over the murder of the child of Mr. Kent. The inspector reached Trowbridge from London on Sunday evening, and proceeded ou Monday morning to Road, where he had an interview with the magistrates by whom the inquiry has been conducted. In the course of the conference Elizabeth Gough, the nurse maid, was brought before the Bench and was liberated. After sitting for about two hours with closed doors, the representatives of the press were admitted. The Rev. R. Crawley said the magistrates had little to communicate beyond the fact that Inspector Whither had been sent down from London, and that the investi gation was now placed in his hands. A reward would be immediately offered—Xloo by the Government and £lOO on the part of Mr. Kent, to any person giving such information as should lead to the conviction of the perpetrator Af the crime, together with a free pardon to any accomplice not being the actual murderer. The nursemaid had been discharged, and had been informed that she was at liberty to go where she liked, and she had stated her intention of returning to the discharge of hor duties at Mr. Kent's house. It was then announced that the inquiry would be adjourned till Friday next, and in reply to an inquiry whether the proceedings on that day would be public it was stated that in the event of any evidence being then takers on oath the public and the reporters would be admitted, but that at present the magistrates were unable to say what course would be pursued. Mr. Lopez, magistrate, wished it to be known that the house had been re-examined and re-searched in every possible way ; and that every inmate, except the infant, had been called on to state what they knew in reference to the matter. The best super intendents of the force had been engaged in the investigation, and it was only an act of justice to the police and to the magistrates to state that they had used their utmost exertions in endeavouring to trace out the.guilty party. The two servants men tioned by Mr. gent as having formerly lived in his .employ, and as being parties likely to have had au against him, had both been found out by the police, and It was proved that they were many miles distant from the scene of the murder on the night of its occurrence. He (Mr. Lopez) was only sorry that the magistrates had no more information to communicate to the press in reference to this extraordinary case. At the conclusion of the sitting Inspector Whicher, accompanied by Superintendents Foley, Woolfe, and others of the county constabulary, proceeded to Mr. Kent's residence, and made a further inspection and search of the premises. The practicability of removing a child about the age of the deceased from its bed without waking it, or dis turbing the persons sleeping in the same and adjoining rooms has been tested by the police, and has been accomplished in three instances. Mrs Ross, the mother of the champion rifleman, is daughter of the late Colin M'Cree, Esq., of Cornhill, Perth, who was a large planter in Demerara and South America. She is a lady of comparatively short stature, but many of her feats with gun and rod are recorded along the banks of Tay and on the moors and rivers in Aberdeenshire, and many a heavy salmon has she landed, and brought down not ir few moorfowl. One of her shots is well known among the tenantry on the estate of Aboyne, where in 1849 or 1850 Mrs. Ross killed a grouse with a single rifle bullet at a distance of a hun dred yards.

Sunday morning week two dray agricultural horses, belonging to Mr. WM. .Clark, of Helhe.ad Hall, near Kendall, were grazing on the.coramou land, near the hall, known by the name of Halhead Nab, or more commonly known as " Hollin Nab," being the north end and termination of Cuuswick Scar, and when the two horses had reached the extreme point of the "Nab," they were observed by Mr. Clark, who was walking in some fields at a short distance, to suddenly become restive, am then corn -menced plunging and kicking at each other, and in the affray Mr. Clark observed the mare to slip and lurch on the edge of the Scar, as if she were tailing over, but, suddenly recovering herself, she made a leap down the fearful, precipice, among the sharp edges of the rock and loose stones at the bottom of the Scar— then fell, and rolled over. Mr. Clark instantly haitened to the spot, and quite expected to have found his favourite mare crushed and killed where she fell, but the reader may judge of his surprise and joy when, on reaching the spot, he found the mare quietly grazing amongst some scroggs near the place, and, beyond some half--a-dozen scratches on her breast and flank, caused by her rolling over the sharp stones, nothing the worse frost her frightful leap, which, on being measured by Mr. Clark, was found to be rather over fifteen yards. We saw the mare carting on tlie day after her leap, and she has been regularly at work since.—Kencial Mercury. A WORD ON BEHALF OF Tilt GERMAN BANDS.—It is a Chet that it is a very gainful speculation for the poorer children of the "Fatherland" to unite in those harmonious troops, and to spend a few months amongst us, or even:a few years. They are for the most part respectable lads, and the sons of respectable people. During their stay amongst us there is little to be said against them—much in their fa,votr. There is but one case in my recollection—it occurred the other day—in which a German band , has been brought up for manoying a family er neighbourhood after they had been warned to, move off. Has any one ever seen any of these German musicians drunk about the street ? I never have. They have done much to cultivate and refine the national taste for instrumental music, and we may fairly say that what we give them is tor value received. Their instrumentation is generally good --at times excel lent and faultless. It may rtot, perhaps, be sufficiently known how far these wanderers have inoculated us with their fondness for music. You will find them not only about the streets of London —which is their title to mention here—but in all the watering places and large country towns —nay, in our very • villages and country houses —in all tea-gardens, and Tivolis, and dancing places. The humblest dancers in our day can have as good music to dance to as that which regulated the courtly steps of the mistresses and mastf,•.4s a thei grandmother s an d grandfathers. Then; is no reason to o I regret that th e o ld trio of harp, fiddle, and cornopeau, which so long constituted the instrumental music of the London streets, is at an, end.—Qnce a , Week.
