of the ropularity obtained by 'St. Olaves.' It will be read

the nigher feelings of human nature."—Reader.

Hugo sketches the life of Shakt speare, and makes of it a very
effective picture. Imagination and pleasant fancy are
mingled with the fac s ; there is high colouring, but there-

trait of Shakespeare painted by a foreign hand. "—Atheneum.

three failures, jumping away with a clear lead of Gardener,
who was succeeded after another clear interval by Quick-
sand, at the head of the ruck, in the rear of whom were
Ibex, Pelios, and Outpost. They ran with very little varia-
tion in their relative positions until half way rotmd the turn,
half a mile from the finish, where Vabalathus took his
place alongside of Raglan on the whip hand, and the pair
quitting the remainder, ran an exciting race for the last
quarter of a mile, but Vabalathus failing to get up, was
beaten by a short head ; Ibex was a bad third, and the next

THE CONFERENCE,

The Conference met yesterday at one o'clock.
All the members were cresent, Considerable dis-
cussion took place, and the meeting lasted until
four o'clock, when it was adjourned until Saturday,
the 28th inst.—a very long postponement consider-
ing the gravity of the situation both at home and
abroad. As the term of the suspension of hostilities
nears its end the public anxiety as to the turn
matters are likely to take naturally increases. We
understand, however, with regret, that the Confe-
rence hes up to the present moment made little or
no progress towards a pacific result ; and that the
views of the belligerent powers are as irreconcile-
able as ever. 'We have good reason to believe that
Prussia and Austria have formally announced that
the war has put an end to the treaty of 1852. The
neutral powers, equally parties to that treaty, have
now therefore to decide whether they will allow
this bold violation of a solemn engagement to be
carried out with impunity.—Herald.

Restoration of the Apparently Drcisane.4'.

The following instructions for the restoration of the sill
parently dead from drowning are now being issu.9d by tliB`
National Lifeboat Institution. They are the result of ex-
tensive inquiries recently made by the institution amongst
medical men, medical bodies, and coroners throughout the
United Kingdom. Possessed of this valuable information
the committee of the Lifeboat Society have felt justified in
acting on it. After having been carefully considered, and
the several opinions thus collected compared one with
another, the committee have caused the following instruc-
tions. based on the plans of Dr. Marshall Hall and Dr. H.
R. Silvester, to be printed, and the same are about to lea
extensively circulated on the coast and elsewhere. Aided
by four excellent illustrations the plan of the institution for
the restoration of the apparently dead from drowning is
made intelligible to every one, and this additional importhnt
service rendered by the Lifeboat Institution cannot fair to
elicit the approbation of the community at large:—
