OUR EASTERN POLICY.

Mr. FERRA.ND gave notice that on Monday next, on
the motion for going into committee of supply, he would
move that, in the opinion of the house, our eastern policy

licy, which had for its object merely the extension of com-
mercial objects in which they were not interested.

LITTLE lIILLEE,

There were three sailors in Bristol city,
Who took a boat and went to sea.
But first with beef and captain's biscuit,
And pickled pork they loaded she.
There was guzzling Jack and gorging Jimmy,
And the youngest he was little Billee.
Now very soon, they were so greedy,
They didn't leave not one split pea.
Says guzzling Jack to gorging Jemmy,
"I am extremely hungaree."
Says gorging Jim to guzzling Jacky,
"We have no provisions, so we must eat we."
Says guzzling Jack to gorging Jimmy,
"0 gorging Jim, what a fool you be I
There's little Bill is young and tender,
We're old and tough, so let's eat he."
"0 Bill, we're going to kill and eat you,
So undo the collar of your chemie."
When Bill received this infumation
He used his pocket-handkerchie.
"0 let me say my catechism,
As my poor mammy taught to me."
"Make haste, make haste," says guzzling Jacky,
While Jim Failed out his snickersneo.
So Bill went up the maintop gallant mast,
Where down he fell on his bonded knee.
He scarce had come to the Twelfth Commandment,
When up he jumps, " There's land, I see.
There's Jerusalem and Madagascar,
And North and South Amorikee.
There's the British fleet a riding at anchor,
With Admiral Nelson, K.C.8."
So when they came to the Admiral's vessel,
He hanged tat Jack and flagged Jimmee.
But as for little Bill, ho made him
Tao captain of a seventy-three.
Our obligations ought also to be expressed here to
the North British Review for recalling to our re-
membrance that charming dedication of our great
humorist's " Paris Sketch Book," in the very grace-
ful terms to his Tailor, N.I. Aretz, of No. 27 in the
Rue Richelieu. Several perfectly original reminis-
cences of Mr. Thackeray, here published for the
first time, lend a peculiar interest to a paper that
altogether claims from us our very cordial com-
mendation.

The Condemned Condemned Pirates in Nevirgatet

The preparations for the execution of the c"

The inquest on the body of the woman Sarah Ann
Hall, who was shot by her husband on Tuesday
night last, was held at the Green Man Tavern,
Dartmouth-street,Birminghate, yesterday afternoon
before Dr. B. Davis, borough coroner. The mur-
derer, George Hall, was present in custody, and
appeared to be very much affected by the dreadful
position in which ho stands. The evidence
given fully bore out the brief statement of
in
the fads of the case which were given
lawns yesterday, and it was shown that while they
lived together deceased and her husband were con-
stantly quarrelling, and that after she had left him
he became very jealous of her intimacy withn ou
an
old
sweetheart. In all five witnesses 'were examined.
The first was the mother of deceaeed, who spoke
about the position in which she
stood towards her
husband, and of her going out with
when she was shot. Police constable

Mr. Lingard. the landlord of the Wellington
Tavern, said that about

prisoner, George Hall, came
to his house, and, producing

cams to him with the pistols, and said that Hall had
shot his Wife with one of them. On this witness
went to the house of Hall's father in Farm-street,
where he found the prisoner. On charging him
with the murder, he said, " Yes ; I did it," and
before he was handcuffed he shook hands with his
father, acid brother, and sister, and said he hoped to
meet them in heaven. Mr. Baker, surgeon, said
that deceased had died from injuries caueed by a
pistol shot wound, and said that the ball, after
passing through the left cheek, had taken a back-
ward direction, lodging in the vertebrs of the neck.

THE CHARITY COMMISSIONERS.

Mr. FERRAND hoped he might be allowed to move the
adjournment of the house, in order to defend himself against
the attack which had been made upon him by the right
hon. gentleman opposite (Mr. Lowe). What he (Mr. Fer-
rand) said was that the tight hon. gentleman had told a
member of the house that he (Mr. Ferrand) had been right
in opposing the proceedings of the Charity Commissioners
in his own neighbourheod ; that the commissioners were
wrong; and that the Government were about to introduce
a bill to put a stop to the fraud of which he complained.
Having made this statement, he begged to withdraw the
motion. (Laughter.)

THE DANISH PAPERS.
Lord J. MANNERS asked when it was probable that
the Danish papers would be presented ?
Mr. LAYARD said not a moment's time was being lost.
He believed the papers would run to between 600 or 700
folio pages, but he would do his best to get them out as soon
as possible.
Lord J.MANNERS reminded the hon. gentleman of his
promise to give the papers by instalments. (A laugh.)

THE BRITISH INSTITUTION,

The Exhibition for tho present season at the
British Institution is, we regret to say, very corsi-
derably below the average. As usual, numerous
works arc displayed upon the four walls :of
the noble suite of three apartments constituting the
gallery. Minor drawings, both in size and merit,
are hung upon the screens. There is the customary
diversity of landscape, animal life, histories.
scenes, genre pictures, fruit, ft were, winter, spring,
summer, and autumn views, sea-pieces, and so forth;
but among them all, while there are very few really
good paintings, there are a great many unquestion-
ably bad, while the vast majority are beyond all
question most indifferent. A single gem alone
attracts the eye, scanning, no matter whether care-
fully or cursorily, the contents of this art-casket—
that solitary chef-d oeuvre being CS, " Well-bred
Sitters that never say they are Bured"—the
said sitters being a tan collie and a black re-
triever, painted as dogs caa alone be painted by
Sir Edwin Landseer. The retriever holds cress-
wise in his mouth one of the artist's camel-hair
brushes. A pheasant and some pigeons—as speci-
mens of dead game—are littered in the front
part of the picture. There are, besides this, other
more usual appurtenances of a studio—odds and
ends introduced, it would seem, almost hap-hazard.
Every detail touched with the easy, careless, mar-
vellous touch of the groat master. The expression
of the dogs' cauntenances being the central interest
of this new masterpiece of Landseer's.

The Wife Murder it Birmingham.

The inquest on the body of the woman Sarah Ann
Hall, who was shot by her husband on Tuesday
night last, was held at the Green Man Tavern,
Dartmouth-street,Birminghare, yesterday afternoon
before Dr. B. Davis, borough coroner. The mur-
derer, George Hall, was present in custody, and
appeared to be very much affected by the dreadful
position in which he stands. The evidence
given fully bore out the brief statement of
the facts of the case which were given in our co-
lumns yesterday, and it was shown that while they
lived together deceased and her husband were con-
stantly quarrelling, and that after she had loft him
he became very jealous of her intimacy with an old
sweetheart. In all five witnesses were examined.

before he was handcuffed ho shook hands with his
father, and brother, and sister, and said he hoped to

SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY,

The 450th concert of this society was given last evening,
on which occasion Handel's magnificent composition,
" Israel in Egypt," was selected for performance. The
attendance of company, in the great hall, was by no means
inferior to that which invariably assembles on every per-
forntance of "The Messiah," although the oratorio under
notice is remarkable for the subordinate parts allotted to the
scloists. In "Israel in Egypt" the great weight of the perfor-
mance is thrown upon the choristers, and to this circumstance
must, perhaps, be attributed the comparative non-success
which invariably attended its performance during the life•
time of the illustrious composer. To us of the present time
it seems remarkable how the massive and splendid choruses
could have been listened to without creating the utmost
enthusiasm, but certain it is, an extraordinary change has
happily taken place and for this improvement in our musical
taste, the Sacred Harmonic Society and Mr. Costa deserve the
unanimous gratitude of every true lover of music in its best
and loftiesi form. The soloists were Madame Rudersdorff,
Madame Sainton-Dolby, bliss Banks, Mr. Santley, Mr.
Patey, and Mr. Cumming. The list of instrumentalists
embraced the name of nearly every performer of merit, and
the unrivalled chorus of the society were on this occasion
divided into two separate and distinct choirs, placed at either
side of the noble organ. The opening reeizative was sung
by Mr. Cumming with care and intelligence, and then fol-
lowed the chain of remarkable double choruses that grandly
demonstrate the power of sound. It will be quite unneces-
sary on the present occasion to do more than reiterate the
praise we have invariably given this incomparable body of
choristers, at the same time remarking that never have
They even the Hailstone Chorus, as it is familiarly called,
and the sublime composition, "The waters overwhelmed
them," with greater preci-ion and effect. In the former
the rest previous to the two concluding bars was a perfect
miracle of power and discipline. It is almost needless to
remark that both wore unanimously encored. In the second
part Madame Rudersdorff sang " Thou didst blow," and
the introduction to the final chorus, "Sing ye to the Lord,"
with the greatest purity and effect. Madame Dolby was,
as ever, majestic and tender in the beautiful air "Thou
shalt bring them in,' and Mr. Cumming highly distin-
guished himself in the tenor war song. The duct, "The
Lord is a man of war," was sung by Mr. Santley and Mr.
Patoy, and of course elicited the usual encore. "Judas
Maceabeus" is to be the next oratorio performed.
London, England, 1864-02-20

EXPLANATION.

Mr. AYTOUN was understood to offer an explanation
to the house with regard to an expression he had made use
of in the discussion on Kagosima. With reference to the
conduct of Mr. Moss, he had used the word "crime," but
he had received a letter from that gentleman stating that
in the course of the affair spoken of, the gun had been dis-
charged by accident, and not by order. He therefore re-
gretted having used the word " crime," which was not a
suitable word under the circumstances.

Miss Grace Egerton's Entertainment.

Miss Graco Egerton's (Mrs. George Case) entertainment
at the Polygraphic Ilan, King William-street, will be
found well deserving of patronage. The present idea is to
limit its duration to one month ; but if real merit is consi-
dered, it ought to become ono of the permanent entertain-
ments of the metropolis. The abilities of Miss Egerton as
a public entertainer are remarkable, and her assumption of
the different characters of which her pretty entertainment
is made up, will bear comparison with any hitherto seen in
London. Mr. Case agreeably gives a variation to the even-
ing's amusements, by some very cleverly executed solos on
the violin and concertina ; and to those wishing amuse-
ment for a couple of hours, we cordially reonameud a visit
to the Polygraphic 119.11.

THE RUBENS OF FRANCE.-0a Tuesday last the
numerous works of the late Eugene Delacroix, were exhi-
bited in the Rue Druot. There seems no style which M.
Delacroix has not attempted and adorned—mythological
pictures, such as " Aclaoon Changed into a Stag ;" his'o-
rieal works—for instancy, " Louis IX. on the Bridge of
Taillebourg;" religious inspirations, as " Christ in the
Garden of Gethsemane ;" pictures from:Byron and Giiethe;
and finally compositions of fruit end flowers. The works
offered for sale will fetch great prices, for France is very
proud of her artist.
SO LIKELY!--Greco and his accomplices having
been examined yesterday at the Conciorgerie by M.
Davienne, the president, who named M. Alton to defend
Greco, Trabucco, and Seaglioni as they declined to appoint
counsel, Signor Mazzini has been invited to appear, but
" come and be killed" was not less attractive to the his-
toric ducks than aueh a EUMEROTI3 to Mazzini, who will
suffer judgmen,t to go by default, and mi§lauicAt also.

greater among the boys that the balance is reduced to nearly
an equilibrium. For every 100,000 women at home in
England there are 95,008 men also at. home ; and when we

lation are engaged abroad in the army, navy, and mer-
