SUDDEN DEATH OF A BARRISTER.—Mr Charles
Winston, special pleader, of the Home Circuit, died
suddenly on Monday afternoon at his chambers, 3, Harcourt-
buildings, Temple. The deceased gentleman had been stay-
ing in the country for a short time with his family, and only
arrived in London on Monday morning for the purpose of
arranging some of his accounts, his intention being to return
by the 4 o'clock train. His clerk was sent into the City to
get a cheque cashed, and on his return he found his master
lying on the floor apparently dead. lie at once called in
the assistance of Mr Broome, gardener of the Temple, and
Mr Brooks, of Fleet-street, who was of opinion that life
had been extinct nearly three quarters of an Lour. The de-
ceased appeared to be in excellent health, and the cause of
death is supposed to be disease of the heart. The inquest
was held at the chambers of the unfortunate gentleman
yesterday, before Mr Sergeant Payne, coroner for the City of
London. Sir J. Reid, Bart., aceempanied by the solicitor
of the deceased, was present during the inquiry. It ap-
peared that deceased, who was 49 years of age, had been
deputy judge of the county courts of South Staffordshire,
North Wales, Brent ford, Marylebone, and sometimes
Westminster, which he carried on beyond his practice. Be
was, moreover, an excellent chemist, and devoted much of
his time to scientific researches. Mr T. Brooks, of 165,
Fleet-street, surgeon, said he had not made s post-mos-Sew
examination of the body, but he believed that death was the
result of disease of the heart, produced by overwork and
long abstinence from food. He found a bottle of colchicum
in the room, A gentleman said that the deceased had been
taking colchicum for the last nine or twelve years for a pain
in the back. It was a mixture made up from a prescription
by Dr Crofts. The deceased took a few drops at a dose. Mr
Brooks said it was a very improper remedy. An overdose
of colchicum would affect the constitution firstly by irrita-
tion, secondly by diarrhaa, and lastly by exhaustion. Sir
John Reid, who appeared much affected, said deceased was
his nephew. He was sure he was overworked. He was al-
ways working, and neglected to take his proper meals. He
had Cued with him on Saturday last, and he saw him again
on Sunday, when he appeared in his usual health. Sir John,
however, knew that deceased laboured under some internal
affection. The coroner then summed up on the above evi-
dence, and the jury returned a verdict in accordance with
the medical testimony.
How THEY MAKE PERFUMICS.—M. Mere drives
us to his laboratory, and with the perspicuity of a
Frenchman—es qui r.'esi pas stair n'esS pas Francais—ex-
plains to us the art and mystery of extracting odours from
flowers. Thus illuminated, we can smile with bland supe-
riority on the popular notion (which we entirely forget that
we ever entertained) respecting the process. We now know
that distillation is not the only, not even the usual process;
but in the great majority of cases the odours are isolated
by two methods, that of maceration and enflowering
(ertlieurage). It is thus that orange, tuberose, acacia,
violet, jasmine, rose, jonquil, and others are treated ; and
these processes depend on a fact unknown 1i
this
country, At least unpublished, until Mr Seotimus Piesse
brought out his work, "The Art of Perfumery." 11.
allude to the property which pure oil, butter, grease, an'd
fat have of absorbing the fragrant principle from flowers in
contact with them. Fate absorb odours, as a sponge absorbs
water. If the fat thus impregnated be placed in pure alcohol,
or any other spirit, the fragrant principle quits the fat, and
we have then the scented spirit which perfumers sell. Such
being the principle, let us now learn the process. The grease
—beef, suet, or lard—is bought, and purified from all ani-
mal fibre and sanguineous matters by long boiling in water
and nitre. When cold it is again boiled in rose water, to
which a minute quantity of benzoin gum has been added.
It is now allowed to cool and solidify, and it is then tit for
use. Large quantities of grease are thus prepared during
the periods when the flowers are out season. The grease
is euflewered on a frame, very similar to a window sash,
the woodwork being two inches thick, with the glass in the
centre, so that when two or more frames are laid together
there is space sufficient for the flowers between the glasses.
The glass has a layer of pure tat spread over it, each glees
requiring about a pound of fat. On this the freshly-gathered
flowers are sprinkled, and as there are several hundred
frames at work for each kind, the quantity of perfumed
grease prepared at once is enormous. When the flowers are
spread on the grease each frame is piled on another t ill they
amount to 40 or 50. There they remain from 24 to 36 hours ;
then the eld or spent blossoms are removed, and fresh
flowers placed upon the grease ; and this is repeated until
the fat is sufficiently impregnated, when it is scraped off
the glass, melted at a low heat, and strained to remove
stray petals. It is finally poured into the canisters for
preservation and expo: tettion.— Coe nhill Magazine.
STATE OF TRADE IN BACUP.—The cotton tre,de
in Bacup and district bears a more unfavourable aspect
than it did some few weeks ago, nearly all the frills work-
ing considerably less time. At the meeting of the Board of
Guardians held on the 233 ult. it was thought advisable to
request the relief committees in the variousri townships othe
f
the union to consider the propriety of me
distribution of relief.

Tll3 Prince and

incess of Wales in

Sweden.

(Ft wit the Soecial Correspondent.)
STOCKHOLM, Sept. 2J.
Tao gratification—amounting to enthusiasm—felt
by the Court and people of Sweden at what they
regard as the very high compliment paid to their
country by the visit of the Prince and Princess of
Wales continues to evince itself in a succession of
brilliant fetes ; and but for the respect felt for the
incognito which has been deemed expedient to
maintain throughout this present tour, these mania
festalions of friendly feeling in this part of Northern
Europe would bo very outspoken indeed. Apart
from ties of original consanguinity, there are num-
berless bonds of sympathy and of common political
interest between Ergland and Sweden, and natua
rally at such a moment these considerations are
present to everybody's mind. Both are countries
enjoying representative institutions and the widest
amount of personal freedom consistent with good
government and respect for hereditary rights; both
possess great natural advantages,leading them to de-
sire the maintenance of peace and public order,with a
view to the development of internal prosperity;
both again are Protestant nations, and both in an
especial manner are interested in preventing any
great nation from acquiring predominance singly in
the Baltic. Add to this that it is impossible to be at
the Court of Sweden for a single day without being
struck with the fact that, as in England, the public
weal is made the first consideration,and that royalty
exists, not as an item in a great state pageant, but
as an active, intelligent trustee of public interests,
and it will be perceived what a substantial strength-
ening of the good relations already existing may be
effected through what appear outwardly to be mere
personal courtesies. The limited interval during
which it will be possible for their Royal Highs
nesses to remain in this country has led inevit-
ably to the crowding together into a very short
space of a number of grand entertainments; so
much so, in fact, that to attend them all is vir-
tually to preclude oneself of the time requisite for
describing any with that care of which they are
eminently deserving.
The ball at Drottningholm last evening was a
reunion of the most brilliant character. Ulrikshsdal,
the chateau where the Royal party dined the even-
ing previously, is a residence owing its internal
glories altogether to the taste and outlay of the
present Sovereign ; Drottningholm, on the contrary,
is in all respects a fitting home for the Royalty
of Sweden, and as the King, from choice, has
fixed his residence elsewhere, it is occupied per-
manently by the Queen Dowager, who gave
this splendid entertainment in honour of the
members of the English Royal family. The build-
ing, which is of great extent, and roofed somewhat
in the manner with which the Grosvenor Hotel has
made the residents of London familiar, stands on
the edge of the Maelar Lake, and is approached from
Stockholm across a bridge more than half a mile in
length, constructed with movable portions, so as to
admit of the passage of steamers plying on the lake.
Last night this bridge and the road for some dis-
tance at either end was lighted up in the effective
method that prevails in this country—that is to say,
with bowls filled with a blazing resinous mixture,
supported on pillars erected at regular intervals.
The grounds of the castle itself, constituting a park
of very large size, had their outlines and the prin-
cipal walks indicated by an illumination of a simi.
lar character, so that as one drove along through
the alternate glare and shadow induced by the fitful
breeze towards the building, in which every window
was radiant with light, it seemed as if some magi-
cian's castle of fire were being approached through
a blazing avenue. Arrived in front of the castle the
effect was not less imposing. Steamers, to the
number of seven or eight, which had brought down
spectators or invited guests to the ball, lay off the
landing pier, introducing into the scene 1 he unusual
adjuncts of steam and rigging, partly defined by
the signal lanterns. To the right, flights innumer-
able of stone steps gave admission to the first of the
series of terraces for which the architecture of
Drottningholm is remarkable. These are connected
by double staircases of exquisite green marble, wide
enough for eight persons to walk abreast, and every
terrace gives admission to a new series of apartments
right and left. It would be tedious to describe in
detail the portions of the Palace, magnificent as
these were which were thrown open for the evening.
Let any one imagine a series of princely rooms, fur.
nished in exquiite taste, and abounding with works
of art of incalculable value, and he will have formed
an estimate not exaggerated of the interior of Drott-
niugholtn. Bat the ball-room cannot be dismissed
with a mention equally brief, This is not only a
salon admirably adapted to its purpose, having a
ceiling painted by one of the best Swedish artists,
but it is distinguished from all the rest by the series
of valuable portraits to which it owes its title of the
" Salle des Contemporains du Roi Oscar." With the
exception of two half-length pictures, for which
places have been found above the doors of entrance
to the ball-room, these likenesses are all on the same
grand scale as that of her Majesty Queen Victoria
by Winterhalter, a copy of which occupies a promi-
nent place at the upper end of the room. The col-
lection owed its origin to a desire to commemorate
the treaty of 18.54, which is regarded as a landmark
in the modern political history of Sweden, and, car-
ried out with the completeness which it has been, a
glance recalls the circumstances of Europe as then
existing, and the wonderful changes which have
since taken place. Less than eight years have
elapsed from the time when several of the pictures
were completed, and already eight of those Sove-
reigns have been removed, either personally or poli-
tically, from the positions they occupied. " The
places that knew them know them no more." Queen
Victoria and the Emperor Napoleon it is true main-
tain the entente cordiale established at the epoch to
which the collection bears especial reference, but the
likeness placed intermediately with theirs, the mo-
narch at whose instance these effigies were brought
together, o,car of Sweden, has ceased to exist. It
was when King Frederick VII. of Denmark per-
force put off the uniform of which he was so fond
that the troubles began which led to the late me-
lancholy war; the power which Bombs had abused
was not long continued to his successor; and though
King Otho be still alive, and the troubles eg iinst
which he had to contend were of domestic, not of
foreign origin, he too must take his place with mo-
narchs that have passed away. The young King of
Portugal looks in his portrait as if in his figure there
were oven then indications of incipient weakness ;
and the Sovereigns of Russia and Prussia, though
cast in a different mould, have since, with the King
of Bavaria, succumbed to the lapse of time. Eight
out of 20 removed in the short interval since 18.541
it is a high average, and oven in a ball-room it
points a moral. Let the consolation be that those
who remain have been spared for wise and good
purposes; and let us turn from the walls of the
apartment to the goodly company it enfolds. A pro-
cession is on the point of entering the ball-room,
The Prince of Wales enters first, leading in the Queen
Dowager; then the King, having oo his arm the
Princess of Wales; next, Prince Hansa Giucksburg,
with the Queen of S weden,and following them Prince
Oscar and a grand array of notables, embracing all
the personages of distinction at present included in
the Court circle at Stockholm. The Queen•Do wager
worn a ric'e silk dress of deep mauve colour, trimmed
with white lace, and a tiara of cameos and diamonds ;
the Queen, a sea-green dress, also having white lace
over, and a wreath in which white roses were up-
held by sprays of diamonds. The dress of the Prin-
cess
of Wales attracted general admiration ; it con-
sisted of a rich flame-coloured silk, trimmed with
the corresponding shade and havinf, falls of w
lace added. The necklace
and headdress of diamonds
worn by her Royal Highness were drawn from the
rich store accumulated
te.n the occasion of her mar-
riage. With the exceP

Hfrei qhuneenstly ins
silt upon explaining.
Prince of Wales wore, in addition, thegusuasl star
upon his left breast, together with the riband of the
Order of the Seraphim. Among the ladies present
there ware several with exceedingly handsome
shoulder ornaments. These did not, as in Den-
mark, imply connexion with any noble or cha-

ritable Order. It is customery in Sweden, when
any lady has officiated at Court as dame d'honneur,
to present her upon her marriage with the
traced in brilliantaid the reigning Sovereign. A still
higher mark of favour is to give the Royal likeness
to be worn, encircled with diamonds. Among the
ladies possessing this latter distinction in the ball-
room at Drottningholm was the Countess Brahe,
whose late husband enjoyed the privilege of being
first on the muster.roll of the Swedish nobility—an
honour with the eldest son will also enjoy on at-
taining his majority. After the usual dances of

ceremony a cotillon, introducing several figures of
novelty, was executed. Immediately prior to one
of the changes of time and measure one of the Queen
Dowager's chamberlains entered within the circle
of dancers and presented to each in turn a large
satin pincushion, from which every lady or gentle-
man, if so minded, withdrew a miniature flig,
the nationalities presented being Swedish, Danish,
and English. No pplitical significance what-
ever attached to the pavilion, as it was called; it
was merely taken out of the cushion and presented
on the next favourable opportunity to the lady or
gentleman, as the case might be, with whom the
presenter wished to dance, as an indication of that
desire; immediately after circling the room once, a
return was made to their original partners. Invi-
tations of this nature might be issued ad libitum
while the cotillon lasted, and several gentlemen
whose dancing appeared to be in request had quite
an array of these miniature ensigns before it con.
eluded. Tha King was bound to obey the law
equally with his subjects, and among the ladies by
whom he was singled out as a partner was a
member of the Swedish nobility, English by
birth, whose father produced a very agreeable
work upon most of the points of interest in
Sweden. To institute anything like comparisons
such as those which Paris was called upon to make is
an invidious task, and led, we know, in the earliest
mythological times to the gravest consequences.
Without provoking similar penalties, and yet to gra-
tify in some sort the natural desire which leads men,
even at a show of exotics, to inquire who has won
the first prize, it may be stated that the three faces
most generally admired were representatives of three
distinct types of beauty—Danish, English, and
Swedish. About 12 o'clock their Royal Highnesses
the Prince and Princess of Wales, having first 'in-
scribed their names in a book at the request of her
Majesty the Queen Dowager, descended with other
members of the Royal family, folio wed by the general
company, to supper,which was laid out in apartments
under the ball-room suite. These were richly deco-
rated with tapestries and historical paintings that
would have repaid inspection, but it was difficult
under the circumstances to concentrate attention on
their merits. In the supper-room devoted to the
accommodation of the Royal party the King pro-
posed the health of illustrious visitors. The general
company were invited to drink the healths of the
Prince and Princess of Wales by M. Wilhelm
Aminoff, Chamberlain to the Queen Dowager.

Confederate Steamer at Falmouth,

(From 64 Western Daily Mercury.)

The Flamingo, Captain Collier, a Confederate
three-funnel steamer, arrived at Falmouth on Sun-
day, in nine days and a half from land to land, hav-
ing left Pictou, Nova Scotia, on the 22d of Septem-
ber, being one of the fastest rums on record. She
came home for repairs, and at the time of reaching
the harbour had only about two tons of coal left.
From a passenger on board we have received same

very intereating details of the events that are trans

piring on the coast of the southern part of North
America. The Elsie, Confederate steamer, was cap-
tured on the sth alt. by two Yankee men•of-war
steamers off Charleston—the steam frigate Quaker
City and the Key Stone State. The Elsie had on
board about 500 bales of cotton, and was at the time
of her capture running the blockade from Wilming•
ton, being bound for Nassau. The Elsie was shelled

for four hours by these two vessels, and eventually
a 681 b. shell burst on board, and the ship was im•
mediately in flames. Tne captain, finding it im-
possible to put the fire out, thought prudence the
better part of valour, and therefore surrendered.
Fhe Yankees came aiongsid‘?, and, putting a hose
into the Elsie from both ships, poured in a flood of
water which soon put the fire out. Tney saved the
ship, but lost 200 bales of the cotton, which had to
he thrown overboard. The captain and crew were
taken prisoners, and were all taken to Beaufort,
where they were subsequently liberated. When the
Yankees came up to the Elsie they thought she had
been set on fire by order of the captain, but on
finding the file resulted from the bursting of a
shell, ail discipline was forgotten, and every man
commenced looting on his own account, and conse-
quently captain and men were bereft of everything
that they had. Usually better discipline is kept,
and personal property is resp,:cted, but as the ship
was on fire the rights of property were held of no
account. About 300 men scrambled up the sides of
the ship, and joined in the work of "appropriation.'
The Federals allow no liquor to be kept on board
their ships, either for officers or crew. It was not
so with the Elsie, or the other ships engaged in her
line of business, and the first thing that some of the
men did was to make for the Captain's cabin, where
they made the champagne corks fly "like winking"
and in a couple of hours many of the Yankees were
dead drunk. When the fire on board the Eisio was
put out, the water was up to the fore hatches. She
was then towed into Beanfort—a fine booty for
those who took her, as her value was about £50,000.
The captain and officers were sent in her, and the
crew to Baltimore. But all; as before stated, were
eventually liberated.

From the same source we learn that the blockad-
ng squadron off Wilmington consists now of about

170 vessels, so that it is a wonder any vessels can
escape such a close blockade ; and indeed it is very
difficult and dangerous work. There are now about
40 steamers engaged in cunning the blockade,
There is plenty of cotton always ready for despatch
but none growing, as every man between the ages
of 16 and 60 is obliged to serve in the war.
Mobile and Charleston having ben secured,
the Federals are able to concentrate all their
attention upon Wilmington. The Elsie was
fired at the night before she ran by six ships,
pouring i❑ grape and canister, None of the men
were killed or wounded, As the ship passed along
all the men fell tht on their stomachs, and had it
not been for the shell she would most probably have
got through, as she steamed at the rate of 13 knots,
and was a difficult target for the Yankees to practise
at in the darkness of a very dark night, The Fede-
rels—or Yankees, as our informant always called
them—use 100 pounder Dahlgren guns, which will
carry 1001 b. shells. Most of the blockaders carry
two of Cacao guns—one fore and one aft-.which
work on a pivot.
The yellow fever prevails to a dreadful extent at
Bermuda, and in some of the southern parts of
America. Its ravages have been unparalleled at
Nassau, New Orleans, and Havana. The fever broke
out in August, and it has prevailed ever since. All
the members of the firm to which the Elsie belonged
at Bermuda had been carried off, and the chaplain
had found it impossible to road the service over the
dead—they were so numerous.

A ship was found with all the crew dead, and only
the captain and a boy alive on board. She had a cargo
of gold dust on board. A new crew was put on board
and she was sent on to her destination. In some
cases it was found itnpossible to get me❑ to servo the
ships. Business had as a consequence been almost
entirely suspended. The ships now go to Halifax to
get a clean bill of health, so as to escape the 30 days'
quarantine at Wilmington, to which all ships coming
from Bermuda have to submit.

The Southern privateer, the Tallahassee, arrived
at Wilmington, and was there when the Elsie left.
She had run through the blockading squadron to get
coals. The Yankees have removed all the lights ap-
proaching the harbour, and everything that will
enable the Confederate to find his way into safe
quarters. The consequence is that, besides a pilot
every Confederate ship has to carry a signalman
who Works the ship by agreed signs, with which he
alone of all on board is acquainted. When a ship is
going to run in he makes a signal to the shore look-
outs, who then lay down range lights to guide the
vessel in. These only burn for a very short time, or
they would be aids to the enemy as well as to the

friend. The Tallahassee, when running through the
fleet, was fired at from every direction.
When Mobile was taken, the six clptains of the
blockade-runners who were left, along with five
pilots, all went by triiin to Wilmington. On their
way across they were all taken prisoners, and will
be confined till the close of the war. The pilots are
regarded as most important personages, As a rule
they are all kept in safe custody till the war ceases,
when their knowledge nay be turned to domestic
and social uses.

There is a very large quantity of cotton at Sa-
vannah, but no means of getting at it.
There has been only one man killed while en-
gaged in running the blockade. He was a signal
officer and Southerner on board the Old Dominion.
He was down below drinking a cup of tea in the
steward's pantry. While there a shell burst over
him, and " took his heal off as clean as a whistle.''

A very large number of the men engaged on both
sides are Englishmen, and the captain of the Elsie
is a brave young Cornishman, who was highly com-
plimented by the officer who took him for his gal,
lent bravery. The YankLe said he only wished it
had been shown in a better cause. When taken be-
fore the magistrate and examined he was told he
might go. "Go where ?'' said the Elsie captain.
'' To the devil,if you like," was the reply. Nothing
astonished our captain so much as to hear that ; he
made off rapidly, hastened to catch the homeward
mail, found it had left four hours, soon obtained
another ship, and he is now in England, and will
shortly be engaged in the same daring enterprise.
It is one of a most profitable character, where
successful. The officers receive £l,OOO a voyage.
One officer has run the blockade 27 times, and he is
now in England with a property estimated at
£40,000.

The stories we heard were most amusing, and
exhibited the greatest pluck and daring. They
will, when they come to be related, rival the tales
of bygone days. When the men captured the Elsie
many of them said they should like to bu engaged
in the same line, for keeping the blockade was
slow work, and there was not much to be got by it.
The ships engaged in running the blockade are
splendid steamers, which run at the rate of 13 to
15 knots an hour.

The Confederates have got a new privateer,
named the Edith, but her name will be changed.
She was at Wilmington.

Zeloo made play, followed closely by Triumpher, which
two quickly ran 50 yards in front, Hypochondriac being a
length ahead of Damascus, close in whose rear followed
Goldylocks. Excepting that these latter three changed
places, Goldylocks going on third and Hypochondriac last,
there was no alteration in their relative positions until
within half a mile from home, when Triumpher dropped
away, Goldylocks second, the others having drawn in close
proximity to Zeloo and Goldylocks, Upon arriving in the
straight Zeloo increased her lead, and Wm. Boyce finding
it useless to persevere, let up_Triumpher again, who, how-
ever, never caught Zeloo, she winning easily by three
lengths, which distance separated the second and third.
