GENERAL WILLIAMS AND UM OtrioEns PARTING WITR
THE CITIZENS OF KARS. Painted by T. zones 'Barker
Esq., K.L.H.
Messrs. Agnew and Son have just placed for exhibi-
tion, in their Art Galleries, in the Liverpool and London
Chambers, an admirable picture of a subject which,vie
these volunteering times,, should have an enthralling
interest for the British public—the parting of General
Williams and his staff of officers from the inhabitants
of Kars, in which devoted city he had conducted such a
heroic defence as to have commanded the honour and
respect of the conquering General Mouravieff, who
wrote, "That in admiration of the noble and devoted
courage displayed by the army of Kars, the officers shall
be allowed to retain their swords as a mark of honour
and respect." The picture has been painted from the
description of the scene given by Dr. Sandwitb, who
was one of the sufferers in those trying vicissitudes.
This description, as given kills diary, is in the follow-
ing words :
"Early this morning the sounds of musketry aro
heard in all parts of the camp. The soldiers are empty-
ing their muskets and piling arms. The people and the
army have now learned that they are to capitulate ; the
word teslim (capitulation) is in every mouth, and what
a scene is this ! The poor staggering soldiers obey their
orders mechanically, but some there are who dash their
muskets to pieces against the rocks, exclaiming-, Thus
perish our Pashas, and the curse of God be with them,
may their mothers be outraged.' Some of the officers
break their swords, and, caring' not who hears them,
heap meets on the Sultan and the whole government of
the Empire—awful werds which I had never heard oven
whispered before. The citizens gather together in
groups, exclaiming, ' God is great, and has it come to
this ? How is Islam fallen! Yai, rat, (alas, alas,) and
do my eyes behold it ? Would to God we had never
been born ! Would to God we had died in battle ! for
then bad we been translated to heaven, then had we
been purified and acceptable. The Ghiaours are coming,
and our arms drop from our hands ! God is God, and
Mahomet is his prophet. How has the All-Merciful
forsaken his children and delivered us up to be a prey to
the spoiler !' Thus are the sounds of grief said indigna-
tion heard from each turbaned warrior, while woman's
softer soul in woe dissolves aloud.' Let us draw a veil
over this distressing scene ; scarce was there a dry eye
that witnessed it, while grey-bearded soldiers sobbed
aloud. In the midst of these lamentations, General
Williams rode through the camp. At once the citizens
crowded round him, kissing his stirrups and praying for
blessings on his head. Nere'ye, nere'ye, (Where, where,
are you going, Pasha ?)' they asked. am a prisoner,'
he answered. Let us go with you ; .we will follow
you,' Iteeliama Pasha chock _adans dur,' (Tliflxal Is
Pasha is no end of a man,) yrai the universal c ry.4:117
Dr. Sandwith has not only furnished thedescriptien,
but has lent the costumes of the natives, which are
strikingly peculiar and, picturesque, and has give 4 liis aid
to Mr. Barker by superintendence of the picture, so as
to make it an accurate representation of the honourable
though unfortunate termination o' one of _ the:vest
heroic achievements that ever distinguished British
valour and endurance. He has written a testimony to
Mr. Barker's success in this respect :

• • ' "April 20,'1857.
"My dear Mr. Barker' congratulate you on your
Kars Picture, which is truly admirable. It is not for
me. to criticise it as a painting, I can only speak of its
wonderful accuracy' as to scenery- and costume. -You-
will. admit that during. your' *ark I have -taken true
pains to point out little inaccUKaCies of detail that !night
have escaped the eye of any one not conversant with the
locality,..aticl the Eastern peoples represented, and I on
my part have been struck with the patience and perse-
verance you have shown in correcting errors: • must
now confess that- •I can detect nothing more amiss.
Every stirrup, .every weapon,- is. thoroughly Eastern,
and Lcould :have imagined that the whole scene had
been tun otl'the spot.-13clieve me, sours very faith-
fully, • - • .H. SAIiDWITH:"
To this we can add the critical
.approval of its picto-
.riztl.merits.-. It is very -artistically composed,. excellently
well drawn and painted, richly coloured and, full of
.expression...

The charity children of the metropolis held their annual
festival; on Wednesday, at the Crystal Palace. The
orchestra; numbered 4,000.
The death of William Ford has rendered the office of
Town-Clerk of the Cityuf Dublin vacant. The appoint-
ment, we believe, is worth LLOOOgyear.
The Lord Chief Justice.of. England has appointed J.
Hibberd Brewer, Esq.,.of tho Midland circuit, to the
Mastership in the Court of Queen's Bench, vacated by
the death of Sir Fprtunatus Dwarris.
The review of the Volunteers by her Majesty appears
now to be definitely fixed for the 30th instant. On the
23rd, a preparatory field day will be held, under the
command of Viscount Ranelagh ; and there will not only
be a sham fight, but a bivouac on that day.
A MANCHESTER PARAnox.—The revolutionary ten-
dencies of Conservatism are becoming daily more mani-

RESULT OF THE INTERNATIONAL PRIZE FIGHT.
Three murders have already occurred in America from
quarrels growing out of the late prize fight, one in
Albany, another in New York, and the third in New
Orleans.
COAL FOR THE NAVY.—In the year 1859, 249,527
tons of coal were purchased by the Government for the
use of her Majesty's navy, without reckoning casual
purchases made by captains of ships where there are ne
naval depots of coal. 188,507 tons were 'Welsh coal,
and 61,020 tons north-country coal. There is com-
monly three times as much Welsh coal taken for_the
navy as north-country coal.
Inistr MonrAREL-Ism.—The notorious kidnapping
case in which the child Mary Matthews 'is the chief
victim was again before the Queen's Bench, Dublin, on
Monday. The court was occupied the entire day hear-
ing argument of counsel for the bereaved mother, on the
voluminous but misty replies of Miss Aylward, to the
series of interrogations put to her. It may be observed
that Miss Aylward has not confessed where the child is,
nor given any clue as to its place of concealment.
A GRAVE QUESTION OF ETIQUETTE. Sir John
Crampton, (known as Mr. Crampton) the British
Minister at St. Petersburg, married that charming
young person and enchanting singer, Miss Balfe,
daughter of the talented composer of that name. A
momentous question is raised upon that in court circle's
in St., Petersburg! The Russians are aghast at the
idea of a singer having precedence of the ladies of the
whole foreign Corps Diplonuxtive, twrethei with the
entree to the palace. They cannot see how the daughter
of a musical composer, the leader of the orchestra of the
Opera House, (herself a public singer moreover,) can
worthily represent the Majesty of Eneland • They say
"it is true a noble Earl married England'.
actress, Miss
Farren ; the late Earl of Essex, Miss Stephens, the
singer; the late Duke of St. Albans, an actress, Miss
Mellon ; the late earl of Harrington, an actress, Miss
Foote ; the late Earl Craven, an actress, Miss Brunton,
&e., but none of these noblemen were ambassadors or
other representatives of British Sovereigns."
INFANTICIDE BY A YOUNG LADY.—Miss Sarah Ann
Tyre, daughter of Mr. Thomas Tyre, of the Deepfield
Ironworks, Coseley, Dudley, is in custody on the charge
of murdering her child. She is an interesting g,irl,
about eighteen years of age, and has not long returned
from a boarding school. She had been suspected and
accused of being enceinte, but she denied it. On Wed-
nesday morning a woman, who was taking her husband's
breakfast, happened to go into a privy at the hack of the
residence of Mr. Tyre's, and she saw that blood had
recently fallen on the floor, and .had been dried u.
Procuring a match and candle, she discovered the body
of the child, which was taken out and found to have
been ill used. There' were marks which excited- the
suspicion that the head of the child had been dashed
against a wall. SUbsequently an afterbirth 'was found
in a garden, in a part to which there was no road, and,
as there were no footprints, it was concluded that the
afterbirth had been'thrown over the wall. Miss Tyre
herself was amongst the crowd which gathered when the
discovery was made, but when the police went to the
house she was in bed. She said something had been
the matter with her, but she did not know what. As
she was too ill to be removed, she remains at home in
charge of the police. _

HOLLOWAY'S PILLS AND OINIMENT.—In angry or indolent
sores, and all skin diseases originating in impure or weak
blood, or depraved secretions, the joint agency of Holloway's
Fills and Ointment is perfectly irresistible. It is of little con-
sequence how long thise disorders may have lasted, or how
sluggish, obstinate, or malignant they may seem, the daily
application of the Ointment to the parts affected, and a course
of these matchless rills, will most certainly effect a cure, not
temporary or superficial, but complete and permanent. Bath
the Ointment and Fills are. composed of rare balsams, unmixed
with mercury or any other deleterious substance. They` are,
accord.ingly, as mild and safe as they are powerful ant
efficacious.

THE AGAPEMONE.
EQUITY COURTS.—JpNE 5.
(13cfoile Vice-Chancellor Sir /ohm Stuart.)
• NCITTIDGE V. PRINCE.

It appeared that MiSsfNottidge died at the " Agape-
mone," near Bridewater, of which .Mr. Prince is the
head;. she joined the Agapemone. in- 1848, just after
she had been released by order of the fonacy commis-
; sioners from the private asylum of Dr. Stillwell. Mr.
prince,' a Clergyman of the Church of England, was
61)1.1+4 of his license by the biihop .of the diocese.
Mr. Prince. Mill-tined at Brighton till May, 1845, and
the Misses Nottidge went to Tauirtos,' where they met
him and somliof his followers ; and while at Taunton,
in June, 1845, Mr. Prince sent for three of the Misses
Nottidge separately, add informedd-them that it was the
will of God and that it would give great glory to God
if they married three of his followers, namely,. brother
Price, brother Thomas, and brother Cobb's. Upon
Miss Agnes Nottidge, who was thus orde:ed to marry
brother Thomas, objecting to marry him before a settle-
ment had been- made providing for any family she
might 'have, Mr. Prince immediately replied.that there
Would be, no need of anything of that kind, that it
would not be in accordance with her present calling,
and that her marriage 'would be purely spiritual, to
carry out the purpose of God. Prince then informed
them that it was the will of God that they should be
married at Sw4nsea in a few days,' and upon their
objecting that it., would cause great sorrow to their
mother if they married Without first goinp; to see her,
Prince told them that they must not be influenced 'by
such, feelings, and that if they 'read the Book of Jonah
they would learn the result of acting contrary to God's

.
command. The three marriages took place shortly
afterwards—in July, 1845—at Swansea. z From Swan-
sea Prince rcmoved• to Weymouth, and thence to the
Agapemone. '
A•considerable amount of evidence. was adduced on
both sides as to the state of mind of Miss Nottidgi, and
of the circumstances nuclei which she made the transfer
to Mr. Prince.

.. •
The followingletter was read by Mr. Malins
Windsor-terrace, Brighton, June 21, 1843:
My very dear Agnes,--,lt gave me pleasure by a letter ftom
dear Brother Cobbs to learn that he bad seen you off safely by
the mail on Thursday Morning. By this time you are either
with, the beloved 13retlier Williams, or else with the dear Sister
Mabel. I know their love in Jesus, and that' they will do
everything' to render your sojourn in Swansea good for you;
but I know something more, 1 know the boundless love of
Jesus, ht will be with you, for his eye is on you, and whatever
is good, that he will bestow, whether it be joy or sorrow, ease
or trial, comfort or difficulty, 'all things are yours, for you are
Christ's, and Christ's is God's. Let not your heart be troubled
under your present circumstances, neither let. it be afraid Of
what friends or foes may suggest. Abide in the spirit and will
of God; then yotir peace be like a river, wide and overflow-
ing, and your soul still be sweetly borne along the stream of time
until it reach the ocean of eternal love and rest. What I say unto
you, I say also unto. your sisters Harriet and Clara. Assure
them of my love, and let them trost themselves to be carried
by faith in the arms of Jesus, whithersocrer he will—not
whithcrsoever they will---and they and you will find he will
do you good at your latter end. My beloved Agnes, I must
write to you just•what the Spirit leads me to do. This Ido
with the more confidence because I believe you have an ear to
hear what the tatfrd may say unto yow through him that loveth
you. You mentioned your desire to hare a settlement of your
property upon yourself. This I assured you would be very
agreeable to my feelings, and is so still; but last evening, waiting
on God, this matter unexpectedly was brought before me. I had
entirely put it .away from my thoughts; leaving it to take its
course as you might be led to act, but God will not have it
so. He shows me that the principle is entirely eoninry to
God's Word, and altogether at valiance with that confideriC.:
which is to exist between us, who are one spirit. This desire
on your part must be abandoned, Give it up to God, and show
that you can trust hii faithfulness, and I can assure you -
repose in Jinn will net. bo disappointed. I 'know God? and I
knoW that none wild-trust in him shall ever, eon ever be con,
.•

founded. He that hath an ear to heat- let him hear. Ai
regards the. prquayoui re,ade your parents, I would merely
say that any irrefrilifi Ma-de when 'you were Unconverted, and
which was not in accordance with the Word of God, you are
.not bound to,,ne#her would it be right in you to !Adhere to.. I
must bid you farewell, and believe me to 'abide, in much love,
" Yours affectionately in the everlasting covenant,
• - " BROTHER THOMAS."

Ac;coidingly no settlement was made.
Mr. Malins, Q.C., and Mr. Wigram submitted flint
the transfer to Mr. Prince was made by. Misi Nottidge
when she was under his spiritual influence, and labour-

inn under such delusions that he was God Almighty, or
that the spirit of :God dwelt in his body, as amounted to
insanity, and contended that the court could not under
such circumstances uphold the gift to Mr. Prince.
Mr. Bacon, Q.C:, '(With him Mr. Smale) for Mr.
Trince, submitted that if there was spirituarinfluence,

it was of such a general nature that the transfer.by Miss
Nottidge could net be: attributed to it, and that the
spiritual infatence alleged to havubeen exercised by Mr.
Prince over his followers was not greater than that
exercised by the Roman Catholic priesthood, and
exercised over the followers of < many other religious
sects.

Mr. Bacon, Q.C., had only just commenced the
defence when the court rose. - • -
