Money and the continued tendency of affairs, per-
haps it would not be too much to expect another
reduction of 1, per cent, in the official minimum in
the course of next week. The rates out of doors
are very easy, ruling in many cases .1, and even

JOHN LEECH.—Oblit October XXIX., MDCCCLXIV.,
/Etat. 4G.—The simplest words are best where all
words are vain. Ten days ago a great artist, in the noon
of life, and with his glorious mental faculties in full power,
but with the shade of physical infirmity darkening upon
him, took his accustomed plaoe among friends who have
this day held his pall. Some cf them had been fellow-
workers with him for a quarter of a century, others for
fewer years ; but to know him well was to love him dearly,
and all in whose name these lines are written mourn as for
a brother. His monument is in the volumes of which this
is one sad leaf, and in a hundred works which, at this hour,
few will not remember more easily than those who have just
left his grave. While society, whose every phase he has
illustrated with a truth, a grace, and a tenderness hereto-
fore unknown to satiric art, gladly and proudly takes
charge of his fame, they whose pride in the genius of a
great associate was equalled by their affection for an
attached friend would leave on record that they bave known
no kindlier, more refined, or more generous nature than
that of him who has been thus early called to his rest.—

A SCOTCH LADY APPOINTED GOVERNESS OF THE
YOUNG PRINCE OF SPAIN.—It will interest our Scotch
friends (says the Court Journal) to learn that the safe con-
duct of the education of the heir to the Spanish throne has
been hitherto entrusted to a Scotch lady, Madame Calderon
de la Barca. Her husband was the first Spanish Minister
ever sent to the great revolted colony of Mexico, and a man
of rare worth and intelligence, himself an author of the
highest order as a poet, and afterwards Prime Minister in
Spain. He was the first Spanish Minister at Washington,
U.S„ where he married Miss Fanny Inglis, daughter of
Wm. Inglis, Esq., of Edinburgh, the friend and intimate
of Charles Fox, the late Lord Panmure, and all the Whig
party. The late Lady Duff, mother of Lord Fife, was her
aunt, and she has been preceptress to the royal children of
Spain for some years. If the Prince of the Asturias has had
the benefit of her instructions, he will indeed be one of the
best educated children in Spain. Madame Calderon has
published both in French and German, and her "Mexico"
is greatly esteemod as an amusing as well as a standard
work on that country.
PREPARATIONS FOR THE EXECUTION OF MULLER.
—This morning the preparations commenced in
front of Newgate for the execution of Muller on Monday
morning next, and numbers of workmen were employed
erecting massive barriers along the Old Bailey to stay the
pressure of the immense crowd which it is anticipated will
assemble to witness the execution. It is not customary to
commence these preparations on ordinary occasions before
the Saturday morning, but the great public excitement
created by the crime for which Muller will forfeit his life
has induced the Sheriffs, Alderman Dakin and Alderman
Bexley, to take additional precautions for the prevention of
accidents, and the ent;re front of the Old Bailey will con-
sequently be lined with barriers from Newgate-street to
Ludgate-hill.
THE CASE OF GEORGE KING.—At the weekly
board of governors of St George's Hospital, held on
Wednesday, the following report from the medical committee
of the hospital was read :—" The Medical School Committee
beg to report that,:from the evidence of Mr Freeman, house
surgeon, and Mr Jones, assistant apothecary (who w ere ex-
amined by the committee), it appears that George King was
admitted into St George's Hospital on the 30th of Septem-
ber, about b p.m., is a state of unconsciousness. He was im-
mediately examined by the house-surgeon, Mr Freeman,
about the faoe, head, and hands, with the view to the detec-
tion of an external injury, no trace of which could ke dis-
covered. Mr Freeman, judging the symptoms to be those
of intoxication, sent for the assistant-apothecary, Mr
Jones, who also, and separately examined the .man for
externaT7l3,. jury, and found none; but from the odour of
the breath and the matter subs, quently vomited, which
smelt strongly of spirits, Mr Jones had no doubt that
George King was labouring under the influence of
liquor. George King remained in the hospital for two
hours and a quarter, during which period he was examined
separately three different times by Mr Freeman and Mr
Jones. About an hour from his admission, and after
vomiting, George King began to recover consciousness
and at the expiration of the two hours and a quarter
was so far recovered that permission was given
to the policeman to remove the man from the hos-
pital, provided that his residence could be ascertained.
Contrary to the expressed condition of this permission
George King was removed from the hospital to the station
by a policeman without the knowledge of either Mr Jones
or Mr Freeman. The man walked out of the hospital ; and
it has been given in evidence before the coroner that he
walk ed to the policeEstation in King-street, Westminster.

The Forcing the Straits of Simonosaki,

The 31oniteur contains the following report from
Rear Admiral Jaurez, commanding the French
naval division in the Chinese waters:—

"The Minister of Marine and the Colonies has
received despatches from Rear Admiral Jaurez, corn-
mandant in chief of the naval division in the Chi-
nese waters, containing an account of the expedi-
tion sent against the batteries which defend the
entry of the Straits of Simonosaki, by the com-
bined naval forces of France, England, Holland,
and the United States.

" On the 31 of September the Semiramis frigate,
the Dupleix corvette, and the advice boat Tancrede,
went to the anchorage in front of the island of Hi.
mesima, the place of rendezvous of the allied forces.
Oa the 4th, in the evening, the admirals, after mak-
ing a reconnaissance on board of her Britannic
Majesty's corvette Coquette, made the following
dispositions for attacking the batteries, which was
to be effected on the following day.
" The corvettes formed a line the length of the
south coast of the Strait ; the weakest vessels draw•
ing the least water remaining under steam, took
en eclaarpe all the batteries by enfilading the length
of the north coast from Cape Kunsaki. In fine, the
two admirals' frigates, the Euryalus and the Semi.
ramie, advancing between the two lines, directed
their fire against the batteries which appeared the
most likely to offer the strongest resistance. On
the sth, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, each of the
vessels was at its post, and the small light squadron
under steam, when the admirals made the signal to
commence firing. For 20 minutes the fire of the
Japanese was very brisk, but when the light squad.
ron came to take part in the attack, presenting their
broadsides, and opened fire with their largest artil-
lery, the enemy was compelled to evacuate the
batteries. At half-past five all resistance had
ceased. On the 6th, at daybreak, the battery situ-
ated facing Cape Mose Saki again opened fire on
the corvettes Dupleix and Tartare. The first shot,
well directed, taking the Dupleix en enfilade, the
commandant De Franclieu, hastened to take a more
advantageous fighting position ; this movement
having been rapidly executed, while the Tartare
maintained a well-sustained fire, the battery was
promptly reduced to silence by the two corvettes.
At eight o'clock a corps was landed, composed of
1,200 English, 350 French, and 250 Dutchmen,
which took possession of the beach at the sameplace
where during the previous year the landing com-
pany of the Semiramis and three companies of Afri-
can light infantry executed a brilliant and daring
coup de main. The Japanese then retired preci-
pitately before the allied troops, who carried
off 22 pieces of bronze cannon of large calibre and
two mortars, and advanced to the faubourgs of Si-
monosaki. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon the order
to embark having been given, our landing com-
panies went to their•boats, when the English came
upon an entrenched camp, defended by numerous
troops and five pieces of cannon. Received with a
very brisk fire of musketry, our allies threw them-
selves into the camp and forced the enemy to evacuate
it, but this engagement cost them 10 men killed and
about 30 wounded, among whom were the flag cap..
tain of Vice Admiral Kuper and 2 officers. The 7th,
Bth, and 9th were employed in destroying the store
houses and powder magazines, and completing the
embarkation of the cannon. In the meantime, four
corvettes, doubling Cape Mose Saki, compelled the
evacuation of the batteries and the Isle of Hikesima.
The admirals, doubling Point Kibune and entering
the China Sea on board the Ccquette, found that
the Strait of Simonosaki had been forced at all
points. The total loss of the allies amounted to 13
men killed and 60 wounded ; the French division
lost 2 men killed and 9 wounded. There were 60
bronze cannon and 3 mortars altogether embarked
on board the vessels. Rear Admiral Jaurez, in
giving an account to the Minister of Marine of this
brilliant feat of arms, pays the highest compliment
to the officers placed under his orders, as well as to
the seamen. Every one rivalled another in ardour
and courage, and the gunners gave proofs of the
greatest ability.
" On the 10th the allied divisions cast anchor
before the town of Simonosaki, and a Minister from
Nagato, furnished with full powers, went to the
admirals to ask for the cessation of hostilities, to
agree with them on the bases of a convention, of
which the following are the principal dispositions :
—" The opening of the .Straits of Simonosaki to
the ships of all nations ; the batteries are neither to
be armed nor repaired ; the allied powers are to re-
ceive an indemnity, of which the amount shall be
eventually fixed by their representatives at
Yeddo. On the 16th of September, at the moment
of the departure of the courier, the admirals ex-
pected the ratifications, and prepared for their re•
turn to Yokohama."
'We have been favoured with the following ac-
count of the recent fighting in Japan ;
" H.M.S. Euryalus, Straits of Simonosaki,
Sept. 10.
" We arrived here last Sunday with all our fleet
except Pelorus, Racehorse, and Kestrel, which were
eft at Yokohama. On Monday wo engaged the
forts, but did not close in this ship. After the forts
silenced by the evening we prepared to take
with our rifle company and marine battalion
morning. At seven we were ready, and I
____ my company and got ashore without resist-
ance. Then we climbed the heights, such a
fatiguing business es it was, thick covers and
so steep. We wound over a hill, and came down
the other side into a battery mounting about 15
large guns. We found it almost deserted, and we
planted the English and French colours on the
parapet. We then set to work capsizing the guns
and carriages, which was done very Trickly, as we
had so many met). We stayed there till about four
p.m., popping away at the Japanese who came
down the hill behind the battery amongst the
trees. Then we were getting annoyed by some
field battery and rifles, when we were ordered
to advance and capture them. The Marines
took the heights and w e the paddy fields
of rice. We were under a sharp fire of
rifles and guns till about 5 p.m. ; then we got into a
road and went towards them at a gallop, firing as
we advanced behind trees and shrubs. We got
within a few yards, when we commenced to lose
men right and left, The first I saw carried by me
to the rear was Capt. Alexander, shot right through
the foot and ankle. Then other men fell about dead
and wounded. We pushed on and took four guns,
and drove them from their stockade, which was set
on fire by our men. The Japanese ran off,
leaving us in possession of it. Then we retired
back to our battery; then embarked again after a
hard day's work. Those who have been wounded
have been severely so, being from bullet and arrow
wounds; some I believe to have been poisoned.
The chief opposite to Prince Nagato is quite friendly,
and we can land and walk about. In fact our dead
are buried on that shore, and the Japanese declare
they will see that no one touches the graves. The
gun we have on board is about 11 inches in dia-
meter and 9 feet long, weighing between 6 and 7
ons. The mortar is a beauty, 13 inch, anti all
,he guns are bronze in the Inland Sea."

A DEADLY ENEMY TO THE GROUSE.--Two gentle-
men driving from Gatehouse to. Tuft Station early in the
forenoon of a day last week noticed a bird lying by the side
of the road along which the wires of the magnetic tele-
graph run. On being picked up it was found to be a fine
cock grouse, quite dead, its head having been all but
severed from its body ; it had evidently been recently
killed, being still warm, and the cause of death was not far
to seek, the peculiar nature of the injury showing tkat the
bird had while flying come in contact with one of the
telegraph wires. A hen grouse was seen sitting by the do.
capitated body of her lord and mate, evidently mourning
and disconsolate over his sad 1 hough scarcely untimely end,
but of course took to flight on the approach of footsteps. It
is believed that numbers of grouse are killed in this way by
the telegraph. We have been told that on one shooting in
the neighbourhood of Glenluce no fewer 'than 80 birds have
been picked up this season which had evidently fallen vic-
tims to the wire, a further proof of the price that sportsmen,
as well as others, have to pay for the progress of civilisa-
tion.—lnverness Courier.

NEW ROYALTY THEATRE.—Mr John Brougham's
new piece of diablerie called " The Demon Lover,' and
the popular burlesque of " Ixion, or the Man at the Wheel,"
are still drawing crowded houses at this pretty little theatre.
The burlesque will be withdrawn after to-morrow (Satur-
day) to make way for Mr F. C. Barnand's extravaganzi,
which will be produced on Monday evining,
