ALARM AMONG ENGLISH MERCHANTS IN CHINA.—
There are some appearances in China of the traders
being somewhat alarmed at the preparations now moving
to and fro for the coming war, and there is no doubt
that business in imports, at least, will be effected for the
next few months. In clods of tel and silk 139 k
will not be so scion felt ; wgr is slecido'd dh; re

during the last- war. There is, however, nothing to
indicate a hostile feeling towards foreigners at any of
the open ports. At Japan business continue to be almost
at a stand.—London and China Telegraph.

Mr. A. Solomon has a picture of 37 dramatic and effec-
tive subject, illustrating as it does, an episode suggested
by Hood's " Bridge of 'Sighs," and being styled, from
Hamlet' "Drowned, drowned !" The scene is the steps •
of Waterloo-bricige et early cloven. Ad rim old Bclatil•
sitsteins the body of an " unfortunate," whom he has
pulled out of the water—a policeman directs the light
of his lantern on to her face, only to see that the rescue
has come too late. A party of masqueraders are passing,
one of whom recognises the girl. A cab, loaded
more such traverses the street----cii th'e devil is
shown performing a mad ilan'ee,
SENTENCE a DEATH FOR MURDER.—At the Perth
Cireilit4ourt Bridget Kiernon, of Dundee, was charged
with the murder of her child, a girl aged seven months,
by means of poisoning. The alleged motive for the
crime seemed to be that the child was a 'burden to her,
as she was in receipt of only 5s 9d a work, out of which
sho paid 2s 6d a week for lodging and the nursing
of the child. The defence set. up was, that although
the sitraLwas administered by the) hand of the prisoner;
it was not administered niurderous design, but
by mistake. The jury by a majority•found the prisoner
guilty as libelled ; but on the ground of her ignorance
and previous affection for her children, they unanimously
recommended her to mercy. Sentence of death itaia
pronounced by Lord Deas—the execution being fixed
for Tuesday, the Bth of May.
Mr. E. M. Ward is an artist peculiarly successful in
finding dramatic themes. Let.the following testify to
this,4nd-enforce what we said a few weekstince revert-
ing the great advantage accruiug to artists who Will
take the trouble to read. It is knownthat on his
death,TA Charles the Second received extreme unction
according to the rites of the Roman Catholic church.
He was unable, however, to swallow the consecra-
ted wafer, awl some water was sent for to relieve
the king's throat. Not choosing to deal directly
with such a subject as this, Mr. Ward has shown
the ante-chamber to the room of death--a hand
thrust through the half - opened doorway about
to take the .water obsequiously presented by a
page. Other groups, variously expressing anxiety and
dread, are disposed about the chamber, This work will
probably be sent to the Royal Academy next year. Mr.
Ward has comVeted the oil sketch for his fresco of
" The Escape of Charles the second with Jane Lane,"
to be painted in the Houses of Parliainent. The Royal
Commissions, which were shown the year before last at
the Royal Academy, have received great attention at his
hands since that time, are (neatly improved, and have
been hung at Beekingham
