naughty he was vaguely menaced with bring "sent
to Coventry," which he thought from the circum-
stances under which the threat was uttered, must
be a far from agreeable mission. They had cow ex-
perienced the sensation, and, so far from it being a
puniahment to be sent to Coventry, it should be, in
his opinion, the reward for good conduct. (A laugh.)
They had to thank the Mayor and Corporation of
Coventry for the assistance they had rendered them,
and although Lichfield was a smaller place and more
modern, the corporation there were no less generous
in placing at their command all that they had to
show. (Cheers.)
Mr. REPTON, M.P., moved the next resolution, as
follows :—" That the cordial thanks of the meeting
he given to the exhibitors of articles in the museum,
especially to her Most Gracious Majesty, the Right
Hon. the Lords Leigh, Warwick, Craven, Denbigh,
Dormer, and other contributors, and the Warwick•

who have so largely contributed to its success."
(Applause.)
Mr. GREAVES, M.P., moved :—" That the very
hearty thanks of this meeting be tendered to the
proprietors c"of Kenilworth and Maxstoke castles,
and other places, so kindly thrown open by them to
the institute."

Thanks to the local committees were then passed
on the motion of Sir R. Kirby ; and the Rev. Mr.
Bingham moved a vote of thanks to the contribu-
tors of papers. This was acknowledged by Mr.
Featherstone, who expressed his regret that,
although they had an architectural society in the
county of Warwick, they did nothing either in the
way of excavations or publications. He hoped, how-
ever, after this spur to their proceedings, they would
rise like a phoenix from the ashes into which they
had sunk, and that their motto would be "Be

Lord NERVES, in moving a vote of thanks to
Lord Leigh for his conduct as president of the
meeting, said they all knew his lordship as the pro.
moter of every good work within the sphere in
which his influence could reach ; and although
this institute might not rank with those higher
ones connected with objects of benevolence and cha•
rity, yet in some sense he trusted it might be re-
garded as one which embraced not only material
things, but also those influences that purified our
minds, enlightened our hearts, and enlarged our re-
lations with all of our species, past, present, and
future. (Applause.)
Mr. BERESFORD HOPE seconded the vote, and
allading to the remarks of Mr. Greaves, said it was
he and other members of Parliament that had de-
stroyed Guy of Warwick in passing an act for aboi
lishing the observance of the sth of November.
Lord LEIGH acknowledged the vote of thanks to
himself, and said he had deemed it a great honour
to preside over such a meeting, and that honour had
been enhanced by their electing him ono of their
members.

ST. JAMES'S HALL.

The Anthropoglossus, or mechanical vocalist, is
certainly a very curious piece of machinery. We
have had various strange exhibitions of late years
in the metropolis, but this perhaps is one of the
most puzzling nature ever presented to the public.
The Anthropoglossus is a large wax model of the
human head, suspended by a couple of brass chains
from the ceiling, which, on being wound up, starts
off singing in the most audible and distinct manner
the celebrated ditty " The dark girl dressed in blue."
This is succeeded by several other songs, amongst
which are " Polly Perkins," " Annot Lyle," " God
bless the Prince of Wales," and " God save the
Queen," all being given with the most perfect
utterance, the great wonder being how on earth the
articulation is produced. The only portion of the
machinery visible beneath the head is a revolving
barrel and a pair of small bellows used for the pur-
pose of" voicing" the pipes, or whatever contrivance
is within the head, from which undoubtedly the
sounds proceed. The manner in which the machine
is suspended precludes the possibility of the com-
munication from above, below, or on either side, so
to the curious a fine field is open for the discovery
of the mode by which the sounds are produced. We
are quite aware that automaton and speaking figures
(a few words only) have been exhibited in London,
but certainly it is the first time we have had a
" mechanical vocalist" capable of singing in capital
style six songs containing over a thousand different
words. The exhibition, as we have before said, is
a curieus one, and well worth a visit,

THAMES.

MURDEROUS ASSAULT.—Alexander Weir, a shipwright,
was brought before Mr Paget, charged with violently
assaulting his wife.

Ambrose, a police-constable, No. 192 11, put in a medical
certificate stating that the injured woman, Elizabeth Weir,
was in the London Hospital suffering from injuries on the
abdomen, and was in great danger. Ambrose then pro-
ceeded to state that he was called into the house, No.
23, Leman-street, Whitechapel, yesterday afternoon, at 4
o'clock, and found the prisoner's wife lying on the first
floor landing, at the top of the stairs, She complained of
great pain; her hands were on her stomach, and she said
that her husband had beaten her, and kicked her on the
belly. She was immediately removed to the hospital.
Mr Stoddart, solicitor, who appeared for the prisoner, said
the woman in the hospital was a person of very drunken
and dissipated habits, and that she sold her husband's pro-
perty. She was intoxicated yesterday, struck her husband
across the hand with a poker, and scratched his face. She
was a bulky woman, and fell down on her face and hurt
herself.

Mr Paget remanded tho prieoner for a week.
Mr Stoddart asked the magistrate to take bail.

A DELICIOUS SUGGESTION.---It has been urged
as a commareial question that honey is not now of
the 541216 importance as it was before the sugar-cane was
discovered, and that gas has superseded wax candles. I
im satisfied from many considerations that if people would
eat honey at breakfast instead of rancid London butter and
nasty greasy bacon, not only would their health be bettor,
but their temper would be sweeter. I find invariably that
people who like honey are persons of gehial and affectionate
temper. If Mr Cobden and Mr Roebuck had only taken
honey at breakfast, or a choice fragment of virgin honey at
dessert, they would sever have given birth to those vinegar
speeches which did them no ctCdit. I wish somebody
would send Mr Spurgeon a supper of good honey. Three
months' diet on this celestial food would induce him to give
up those shockingly bitter and unchristian tirades he has
been making against the clergy of the Church of England.
Be producers of honey never draw their stings unless in
defence of their homesteads, and the eaters and admirers of
coney rarely indulge in acrimonious language. I believe
a great deal of bad feeling is not moral or mental, but phy-
tical, in its origin. If you have in a congregation, or in a
school, or in a convocation some one who sets everybody
oy the ears, treat him to a little honey at breakfast for six
months, and the "thorn will blossom as the rose." People
that can't eat honey—lume tts caveto —they can't ever fit

Mid Wales Railway Comlany.

no half-yearly meeting of this company was
held yesterday at the offices, Gresham-house, Old
Broad-street; Mr. G. H. Whalley, M.P., in the
Chair. _ _

The report congratulated the shareholders on the
completion of the line, which would be opened for
public traffic so soon as the Government officer had
inspected and approved it. The usual notice to the
Board had been given, and it was expected the
inspection would take place in the course of next
week. The bill promoted by the company had
passed into law. The report of Mr. B. Piercy,
the engineer, stated that the line from Llanidloes
to the junction with the Brecon and Merthyr
Railway at Tall-y-llyn had been practically cern •
plated, and awaited inspection by the Government
officer. Au arrangement had been made with the
Hereford, Hay, and Brecon, and Brecon and Merthyr
Railway Companies for the joint construction of
the stations and works at the junctions with the
railways of those companies at the Three Cocks and
Tall-y-llyn, and it was therefore thought better to
finish all those works before the Government In-
spector was requested to examine the line rather
than to commence the traffic with less perfect ar-
rangement. The capital account showed that
£810,641 had been received, and £807,999 ex-
pended, leaving a balance of £2,515.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, congratulated the meeting on the comple-
tion of the line. They had encountered many diffi-
culties in carrying out the undertaking, but it was
needless to refer to them. Messrs. Watson and
Overend were the contractors who had completed
the line, and he was happy to say that no differences
had arisen between them and the Board. The
directors had been successful in their applications to
Parliament, and bad obtained the powers sought.
There were clauses con ferring a conditionalexchange
of running powers with other companies which he
hoped would be mutually beneficial to all parties.
He thought there was every reason to expect as
good a traffic on their line as that on the lines of
other companies similarly situated. He believed
they would derive considerable bensfit from the
through traffic.
Mr J. WEREND said he had no doubt they would
get their fair share of the through traffic.
After some observations by Mr E. Parker and
Capt. J, W. Johns as to their particular desire being
to keep on good terms with their neighbours, the
report and statement of accounts Were unanimously
adopted, and the proceedings concluded with a vote
of thanks to the ehhirtnan and directors,

FRANCE.

The Emperor Napoleon 111. has written the fol-
lowing impressive letter in reference to the
"Opera" and the "Hotel-Dieu" to Marshal Val-
iant, Minister of the Imperial Household and of the
Fine Arts :

" Vichy, July 31.
"My dear Marshal,—l wish to inform you of a
reflection which hes cccurrecl to me during the
repose which lem erjoying here. Two great esta-
blishments are to be reconstructed at Paris with a
very different destination—the Opera and the Hotel
Dien. The former has been already commenced,
while the latter is not so yet. Although executed,
the Opera at the cost of the State, and the Hotel
Dieu at the expense of the hospices ar.d of the city
of Paris, both will not the less be remarkable mo-
numents for the capital ; but as they respond to in-
terests of a very
d:fferent character, I am unwilling
to allow one to appear more protected than the
other.

"The expenses of the Imperial Academy of Music
will unfortunately exceed the estimates made, and
the reproach must be avoided of having employed
millions for a theatre when the first stone of the
most popular hospital of Paris has not yet been laid.
Recommend therefore, I pray you, the Prefect of
the Seine to get the works of the Hotel-Dieu imme-
diately commenced, and be so good as to have those
of the Opera so directed that both shall be termie
noted at the same time. That combination, I admit,
has no practical advantage, but in a moral point of
view, I attach great importance to the fact that the
building intended for pleasure should not be finished I
before the asylum of suffering.
" Receive, my dear Marshal, the assurance of my
sincere friendship, " NAPOLEON."
'The Ilionde hes a mode of arguing peculiar to
itself. Peace, it declares, seems at present to dawn
in the political horizon, not only in Europe but
probably in America, and therefore Franco ought
to look on England with suspicion, if not expect
hostilities from her ! But that our readers may not
suppose that we are indulging in a misplaced jest,
we proceed to give a portion of our contemporary'',
ooservations. Referring to the intelligence which
has just arrived of the arrangements for peace made
at the Vienna Conference, the writer says :—" Den-
mark, alone against two Powers, can only avoid
complete ruin by submitting to the will of the con-
querors. It has often been in the wrong, its mis-
fortunes are the consequence of its own fault, but
its honour is safe, and it can yield without dis-
grace. Thus the roar of artillery will soon cease

EXEMPLARY DAUGHTER. AND MODEL SERVANT.—
Elizabeth Carby, a girl 23 years of age, was charged under
the following circumstances :
Mrs Carly, the defendant's mother, a very creditable
looking elderly woman, in widow's weeds, said that the de-
fendant came to her house, at Chelsea, at half-past one this
morning, and pulled violently at the ball. Complainant
opened the window and inquired what she wanted, when
defendant demanded some money, and because it was not
immediately given her she demolished ten panes of glass.
Mr Arnold—Does she live with you?
Complainant—No, I should be afraid to let her. We all
go in fear of her. She threatens both me and the children,
and it is only a little while ago that she ran after one of
them and threatened to cut her down with a chopper.
Mr Arnold—How does she get her living ?

Complainant—By service, when she pleases, but she is as
bad in place as she used to be at home—she won't keep a
situation. She has been in many excellent ones, but always
leaves. She thinks nothing, if her mistress offends her, of
taking up a jug, or anything;of that sort, and throwing it at
her. When she leaves her situation she disposes of her
clothes, and fre3h ones have to be purchased for her.

MARK-LANE.

The supply of home-grown wheat on sale here to-day
was but moderate. The trade for all qualities was, however,
dull at Monday's decline in the quotations.
There was a fair average supply of foreign wheat on the
stands. In all descriptions sales progressed slowly at
Monday's currency.
Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request at about
previous rates.
The supply of barley on sale was very moderate. For all
descriptions the trade was quiet on same terms.
Malt changed hands to a moderate extent, at about pre-
vious rates,

Oats, the supply of which was tolerably large, met a
slow sale, at late prices.

Beans and peas were in limited snpp!y, and both articles
realised fully quotations.
The flour trade was steady, on former terms.

FATAL ACCIDENT IN VICTORIA PARK,—An in•
quiry was held on Monday evening by Mr Richards,
eeputy-coroner, respecting the death of Mr Henry Horn,
aged 30, who lost his life by drowning on Saturday, in
Victoria Park. The evidence went to prove that the de-
ceased was bathing in the ornamental water of Victoria
Park at five o'clock, when there were about five hundred
persons present. The deceased was in about six feet of
water, and was seen to be floating on his back. One of his
companions was close to him, when Mr Horne suddenly
began struggling and calling for help, but before assistance
could be rendered he disappeared. There was a boat, which
was private property, close by, but the sculls had been taken
away. James Regan, the assistant swimming master, and
another person, dived after the deceased several times, when
they brought him to the surface of the water, but he had
been immersed about ten minutes. Dr. Brereton, of Old
Ford-road, was called, but all efforts to restore animation
were useless. A witness said that deceased was suffering
from swollen throat, and complained of the water getting
into his throat ; and Dr Brereton stated that the results of
submersion would be more rapid on a person in such a con-
dition. The deputy-eoroner remai ked on the case, when the
jury returned the following special verdict--" That the de-
ceased died from drowning while bathing in Victoria Park,
and they (the jury) earnestly request the deputy-coroner to
write to her Majesty's Commissioners, oalling their atten-
tion the urgent necessity of keeping a boat with proper
apparatus in readiness."

PROSPECTUS.

The above-named Company is established for the purpose
of acquiring the valuable business founded and organised by
the late Mr. 5, F. Somes, in conjunction with his brother, the
late Mr. Joseph Somes, M.P., and continued and further de-
veloped by Messrs. homes Brothers, the present Vendors.
The undeniable success of shipowners of established re-
putation affords ample proof that, as an investment, shipping
property, well managed, is highly profitable, and the large
fortunes accumulated by the late Mr. Joseph Somes,
Thomas Want, Mr. Duncan Dunbar, Mr. Richard Green, and
others, amply confirm this statement.
The importance of commencing this Company's operations
with an established business of more than ordinary repute
is felt to be considerab e. _

_
With this object the Directors have arranged to purchase
the fine fleet of modern built ships belonging to the eminent
firm of Messrs. Somes Brothers, together with their valuable
and commodious Graving Docks on the Thames, known as
the Canal Dockyard, Poplar, and the valuable plant of every
description attached thereto.
This fleet, numbering. 18 vessels, comprises ships built of
wood and iron, many being upwards of 1,000 tons register, the
whole of which are now in active and remunerative employ-
ment in the East India, China, and Australian trades. They
are highly adapted for the conveyance of troops and for tran-
sport service, and have been so employed by the Government
when required, and they bear a high zeputation in the mer-
cantile marine of this country.
The following detailed list gives the names, tonnage, and
character of each Ship, viz. :

ST. JAMES'S HALL.

The Anthropoglossus, or mechanical vocalist, is
certainly a very curious piece of machinery. We
have had various strange exhibitions of late years
in the metropolis, but this perhaps is one of the
most puzzling nature ever presented to the public.
The Anthropoglossus is a large wax model of the
human head, suspended by a couple of brass chains
from the ceiling, which, on being wound up, starts
off singing in the most audible and distinct manner
the celebrated ditty " The dark girl dressed in blue."
This is succeeded by several other songs, amongst
which are "Polly Perkins," " Annot Lyle," " God
bless the Prince of Wales," and " God save the
Queen," all being given with the most perfect
utterance, the great wonder being how on earth the
articulation is produced. The only portion of the
machinery visible,beneath the head is a revolving
barrel and a. pair of small bellows used for the pur-
pose of " voicing" the pipes, or whatever contrivance
is within the head, trom which undoubtedly the
sounds proceed. The manner in which the machine
is suspended precludes the possibility of the com-
munication from above, below, or on either side, so
to the curious a fine field is open for the discovery
of the mode by which the sounds are produced. We
are quite aware that automaton and speaking figures
(a few words only) have been exhibited in London,
but certainly it is the first time we have had a
" mechanical vocalist" capable of singing in capital
style six songs containing over a thousand different
words. The exhibition, as we have Wore said, is
a curiens one, and well worth a visit.

MARK-LANE.

The supply of home-grown wheat on sale here to-day
was but moderate. The trade for ali q " llities was, however,
dull at Monday's decline in the quotations.
There was a fair average supply cf foreign w‘ieat on the
stands. In all descriptions sales progre9P Jcl slowly at
Monday's currency.

Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request at about
previous rates.
The supply of barley on sale was very moderate. For all
descriptions the trade was quiet on same terms.

Malt changed hands to a moderate extent, at about pre-
vious rates,

Oats, the supply of which was tolerably large, met a
slow sale, at late prices.

. _
Beans and peas were in limited supply, and both articles
realised fully quotations.
The flour trade was steady, on former terms.
