THE LIFEBOAT ENGRAVING.—The proprietors
of the Illustrated London News, with the eame
disposition they have shown 012 former occasions to aid in
promoting the great and truly benevolent objects of the
National Lifeboat Institution, are about to publish, with the
number of that journal for the loth instant, a large coloured
engraving, from an original and special drawing in water
colours, by Edward Duncan, EN , Member of the Society of
Painters in Water Colours, the subject being " The Lifeboat
off Tynemouth Bar." As this admirable coloured illustra-
tion is one of the finest pictures of the lifeboat of the insti-.
tution ever issued, we trust that it will receive a very large
circulation, and thus be a perthanent memorial of the noble
work which is performed in every storm by the gallant fel-
lows who are ever ready to man our lifeboats.

MISS BATEMAN.—Another week of brilliantly
and overflowing honses,says the Liverpool Chronicle,
bas proved conclusively the firm hold this young lady has
gained upon the admiration and esteem of the Liverpool
public. Such audiences, either in point of numbers or posi-
tion among our citizens, are rarely, if ever, seen in the
Theatre Royal; and we congratulate Mr Copeland on
his managerial tact in securing such a powerful magnet
as "Leah" has proved. It is much to be regretted that
Miss Bateman's stay is necessarily so brief; could it
have been prolonged for a month the time would
scarcely have proved suflic:ent to permit the eager multi.
tude, who thronged around the doors of the theatre, an
opportunity to witness this, the great tragic impersonation
of cur century. A convincing proof of the truth and
beauty of Miss Bateman's acting is the fact that a second
visit but gives her auditors some new charm to discover,
and that the effect of her tender pathos is rather heightened
than subdued by repetition. Gifted, beautiful, and entirely
worthy the respect and admiration she everywhere receives,
we but express the sentiments of all who have seen her when
we claim for Miss Bateman the very highest position on the
British stage.

IMPROVEMENTS IN THE TEMPLE.—In addition
to the renovation and beautifying the interior of
the Temple Church, which has just been completed, the
benchers of the Inner Temple are making great improve-
ments; the iaterior and exterior of the hall and library are
being redecorated, and the first-named building ventilated
on an improved principle. An immense stack of buildings,
faced with white stone, has been erected on the vacant
ground beyond Crown-office-row, facing the Temple-gar-
dens and Fig-tree-court. The buildings are vezy extensive,
and are intended for chambers; there are three entrances
from Crown- o face-row. -- City Tress.

PACKETS FOR ITALY,—Henceforward a Packet
of Printed Papers, or a Packet of Patterns, addragml to
Italy may be registered, on the application of the person
posting it, provided the postage, together with a registration
fee of 6d., be paid in advance.—By command of the Post-
master• General.

THE KING OF OUDE.—The King of Oude is
described by the Calcutta Correspondent of the
2imes as a vet y disreputable example of the retired monarch.
His estate at Garden Reach is in a disgraceful state. The
King owes about a million sterling, although for ten years
past ho had been receiving a revenue of £BO,COO a-year.
Daring the whole of that period he has never moved out-
side the house but on two occasions, when he went, against
his inclination, to the Fort. He spends his money on the
harem and rare birds—the collection in each department
it is said, being particularly large and varied.
PUTTING HIS SHOULDER TO THE WHEEL
A Frenchman, we see in a French paper, has suggested that
the wheels of carriages could bo used for spinning. He con-
siders that, at present, a great deal of power which might
be usefully employed is thus thrown away,
THE GREAT BENEDICTINE MONASTERY of
Monte Cassino is true to its glorious literary tradi-
tions. Its Scriptorium was the Oxford University Press of
the middle ages, and turned out the most beautiful copies
of Virgil, Horace, and Livy, as well as of the Missal and
Breviary. The monks aro now engaged in printing a new
edition of the "Divina Cummedia" from a MS. of the
fourteenth century preserved in their library.
The Popalo d Italia says that the news of the
approaching departure of General Garibaldi from
Caprera is confirmed, and that.he has invited his
political friends, who form part of the Chamber,
to proceed to Turin.
Advices from Berlin announce that the King of
Russia is to return to that city from Baden on the
14th. The Prince and Princess of Prussia and
their children are to proceed, after the 18th, to Nice,
and remain there two months.
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is quoted •,:78 to 280 per cent., and the pre-
mium on goll 157 u 158} per cent. G old still continues to
be imported in very moderate qmiutitiva.
