AN APPEAL to the SHAKSPERE COM-
MITTEE fer the ROYAL DRAMATIC COLLEGE.—
Patronised by her Most Gracious MAJESTY and his Royal
Highness the Prince of WALES.—The noblemen and gen-
tlemen forming the various Shakspere Committees are ear-
nestly prayed to ems der the appropriateness of devoting a
porti, n of the funds collecting for the Tercentenary Celebra-
tion of the great Poet to the above institution, founded for
"the poor player who struts and frets his hour upon the
stage, and then is heard no more," and the education of their
children. What nobler monument could be erected to the
memory of Shakspere, himself a player, than the building
and endowing the two schools of this College in. his na,me
and enabling a few worn-out actors to pass in Comfort to
their last home who have contributed to your pleasure and
amusement ? Shakspe e writes Good my lord, will you
see the players well bestowed! Do you hear, let them be
well used; for they are abstract and brief chronicles of the
time." B. WEBSTER, Master.

THE FLOWERY LAND,

William Taffer, second mate of the Flowery Land, writes
to the Times as follows :—I notice in the Tones of Saturday
last a letter from " G. R. Sleet, Chancellor to the Spanish
Consulate," which contains some few remarks, and if
allowed to go unnoticed may be received as facts, and be
very injurious to my character. I wish to notice particu-
larly the sentence :—" It should be remembered that at this
time all the men, Taffer included, were intoxicated."
This is altogether untrue, as I never was intoxicated on
board the Flowery Land, and I have my characters to show
that lam and always been a sober man. Should this at all
be disputed, I 'could refer to two captains who are here at the
present time—namely, Capt. Marshall, of the barque Ram-
bler, with whom I sailed for two years as boatswan and se-
cond mate; and Capt. Edwards, of the barque Investigator
with whom I sailed five months. I have also many others
to whom I could refer who have known me for years. I
most distinctly deny the charge of being drunk, and hope
you will allow this denial to appear in the Times. Hal
I been drunk at the time we should all have been
drowned, for the boats were nearly drawn down
with the ship by the eddy, and had I not prevailed
upon the men to pull the boat out of the eddy we must
have been sucked down,as they appeared quite ignorant of the
danger. It is even wrong in stating that the whole of the
men were drunk, as most of them were very sober men—
particularly the Manillamen.
Mr. Steet also says,—" The men mull neither understand
their officers nor make themselves understood by them, and
their delay in obeying orders was interpreted as laziness or
insubordination, and punished accordingly. Short allow-
ance of food and water is an intolerable punishment in the
tropics.".

Lyons acted as interpreter in the chief mate's watch, and
Paul in the captain's watch, and there was no insubordine.
Lion on board except with Carlos, and he was the only one
in any way punished.

There was no short allowance of either food or water, as
we had been cut 32 days, and she•was provisioned for six
months, and as far as sharing any rations with them I
never had any rations shared out, as I always had my mess
in the cabin with the captain, his brother, and mate.

As to the men who have been reprieved I will not say a
word ; but as to those five who have suffered this morning
they were the greatest villains that ever lived, and all were
guilty of the crime for which they have been executed.

HEALTH OF ZHE METROPOLIS.

(From the Registrar-General's Weary,

Return.)

The piesefit f6ttirtt eitb.64a a lower mortality than a.—
been recorded for any week since die 6ofthtetmetnent of the
yew. The deaths in London in the week that &idol iast
Saturday were 1,586. The average number in correspond-
ing weeks of ten years 1854.63 io, with a correction for in-
crease of population, 1,409 ; it appears, therefore, that the
metropolis is still far from being in a healthy state, as the
deaths-of last week were 177 in excess of the estimated
amount.

The deaths by zymotic diseases were 323, the corrected
avei age for corresponding week being 292. Fatal cases of
small-pox rose from Bin the previous week to 20 last week.
Measles, on the contrary, decreased from 32 to 18. Scarla-
tina carried off 55 persons, diphtheria 11, whooping-cough
66, and typhus 63.
Of the deaths registered :ast week from diseases of the
respiratory organs, 248 occurred from bronchitis, 102 from
pneumonia, 4 from pleurisy, and 23 from asthma. Phthisis
or consumption was fatal in 182 cases.

One hundred and sixty persons died from diseases of the
brain and nervous system ; of these, 47 children are returned
as having died from convulsions, 42 persons died from
apoplexy, and 29 from paral7sis. 693 persons died under
20 years of age, 493 were 20 tnd under 60, and 400 were 60
years and upwards. The detths of 7
nonagenarians are re-
corded, the oldest of whom vas a widow, who had attained
the age of 93 years. 59 death; occurred from accidents, 11
persons, 7 of whom were children, died from burns or scalds,
14 children were suffocated, aid 27 persons were killed by
fractures or contusions. Many of these lives were probably
sacrificed through carelessness, and by the neglect of ordi-
nary precaution.

The son of a achoolmastereigad 12 years, died at De
Beauvoir-square, West Hackney, from effusion on the chest
from want of proper food, The daughter of a sawyer, re-
siding at 8, New-square, Limehouse, died from effusion of
serum into th 3 pericardum from want of food and clothing,
and exposure. A female, aged 39 years, employed as a
collar-stitcher, died at 33A., Baltic. street, St. Luke's, from
inflammation of the lungs, caused by destitution and ex-
posure to cold. The daughter of a weaver, aged one year,
died at 15, Collingwood•street, Bethnal-green, of emacia-
tion from want of proper nourishment. The infant son of
a labourer died suddenly at 3, Latime cottages, Mile-end,
from cold and exposure. A
greengrocer, aged 40 years, died
at the Westminster Hospital from tetanus, the result of an
injury to his chin by a whip lash whilst striking his horse.
Last week the births of 1,086 boys and 1,036 girls, in all
2,122 children, were registered in London. In the ten cor-
responding weeks of the years 1851-63 the average number
(corrected) was 2,044.

forward boldly, and with a strong hand and vigorous
will put down the growing evil that threatens to
overpower tho order and morality of our commu-
nity. As Lord GREY observed, it is much to be
deplored that we should have a system of penal
discipline which does nothing to render more effec-
tive the punishment previously apportioned to cri-
minals, and subject the country to the accumulated
numbers of discharged convicts.

DEPUTATION TO LORD PALMERSTON.
(THIS DAY.)

This morning a very numerous deputation from the
trades of the metropolis had an interview with Lord Pal-
merston at Cambridge-house, Piccadilly, for the purpose of
urging upon his lordship the propriety of opening the
British Museum, National Gallery, &c., on Suuday after.

nouns.

The members of the deputation having been introduced,
Mr. WHITE stated the object of the present deputation,
and impressed upon his lordship the great benefit that would
result both morally and socially to the working classes if
the noble institutions alluded to were open on Sunday.
The only attraction on Sunday open to the work-
ing man, unless he undertook a journey some consider-
able distance from his home, was the public-
house, and it was of the greatest importance that something
more elevating should be placed within his reach. The
Sheepshanks collection had been accepted by the nation with
the knowledge that one of the chief inducements which led
to its presentation, viz., its being open on the Sunday, was
as distant as ever.
Several of the deputies present then addressed his lord-
ship. Some of them remarked on the encouragement in
other countries to the working class to study art—whilst
those in England were only enabled to do so at a sacrifice
of a day's wages.
HIS LORDSHIP, in reply, said h 3 believed the produc-
tions of the Englishman quite equal to that of the foreigner.
With respect to the object of the deputation, he believed his
opinions were pretty well known—(hear, hear)—but he
must remind them that there was a very strong feeling the
other way. He thought the most prudent course to pursue
at present was to remain passive until public opinion was
brought round to the object in view, and in the meantime
he advised them to inculcate their opinions, and thus hasten
on the accomplishment of their desire.
Mr. J. KENNY reminded his lordship that it was not a
new ccurse they were then pursuing. There were kindred
institutions to the British Museum already open on Sundays,
and all they desired was that the Government should go on
and open others nearer home. The National Gallery of Ire-
land, whichhad been throws open on Sundays, testified to the
good results certain to follow the opening of the Museum
and National Gallery on Sundays to the working classes of
England.
Having thanked Ws lordship for the interview, the depu-
tation withdrew.

MARK-LANE.

Fresh np to Mark-lane to •day the arrivals of home-grown
wheat were very moderate. Sales, however, progressed
slowly in all qualities; nevertheless prices ruled firm.
There were several parcels of Monday's unsold produce on
the stands.

Acre was a fair average supply of foreign wheat on offer.
The business transacted was chiefly in small parcels) at the
fall prices current on Monday.
Floating cargoes of grain were in moderate request, at
late rates.

Good and fine malting barley ruled firm, at fully previous
quotations ; otherwise the barley trade was quiet, at late
prices.
Malt sold steadily, at full quotations.
With oats the market was moderately supplied. Gene-
rally speaking, the trade was in a sluggish state,-yet prices
ruled stationary.
Beans and peas were in slow request, at fully the late
decline in the currency.
In flour about an average business was transacted, at
late prices.

at St. James's Hall, Piccadilly, and will satisfactorily prove
that Chlorate of Potassa, (as prepared by passing chlorine
through a mixture of quick-lime and water, and subsequently
boiling a long time with Chloride of Potassium) is a most
active remedy for oxydising the blood, and restoring vitality
to the low, vitiated state of the nervous system, and is there-
fore calculated to supersede the use of iron, mercury, quinine,
and sarsaparilla. —56, Gower-street, Bedford-square, London.

PENAL. SERVITUDE.

The Marquis of SALISBURY moved that an address
be presented for returns of the number of convicts under
sentence of penal servitude, confined in gaols other
than Government prisons in 1862 and 1863, and also asked
what steps had been taken to carry out the recommenda-
tions of the penal servitude commission.
Lord GRA.NVILLE did not think it advisable to dis
cuss the details of a bill then before the other House of
Parliament. The whole question would soon be brought
before them in a regular manner.
Lord CARNARVON pointed out the inequality of the
present system of punishment, and quoted from an official
report a statement that 18 months' imprisonment was ac- '
tually a heavier sentence than three years' penal servitude.
Combining these two classes of prisoners must be subver-
sive of all discipline. He also regretted that a strict police
supervision for discharged convicts was not enforced. It
was absolutely essential, and, if not exercised by the police,
would be carried on by private societies. He hoped the
Government would reconsider this question.
Lord WODEH.OUSE did not believe it would be im-
possible to preserve discipline among numbers of prisoners
without the system of remission of sentences. The super-
vision of liberated convicts, as practised in the colonies,
was quite impossible in England. The better plan would
be to pass shorter sentences. Let the prisoner continue
under punishment for the whole term and then be dis-
charged a free man.

`Lord GREY approved the principle of remitting part of
the sentence as an incentive to good conduct. The opposite
system of fixed terms had been condemned by all expe-
rience. But he thought convicts were at present liberated
too soon, and under conditions that made their relapse into
crime almost inevitable.
The returns were ordered; and their lordships adjourned
at 20 minutes to seven.

that in the opinion of the house the conduct of the Go-
vernment in reference to foreign affairs was calculated to
lower the country in the estimation of foreign powers.

VACCINATING SHEEP.

In reply to Sir J. C. JERYOISE,
Mr. LOWE said that the report, relative to the experi-
ments that were being made as to the vaccination of sheep,
would be laid before Parliament before Easter.
PASSAGE OF TOBACCO THROUGH THE
BLOCKADE IN AMERICA. _ _

Sir R. CLIFTON asked the Under Secretary of State
for Foreign Affairs, whether it was true that her
Majesty's Government have, on the application of
the French Government, consented that the French Go-
vernment should pass a quantity of tobacco through the
blockade with the approval of the Washington Govern-
ment ; and whether her Majesty's Government have
thought it their duty to make any similar application for
the passing of cotton for the benefit of the distressed opera-
tives of Lancashire.
Mr. LA.YARD explained that at the time of the break-
ing out of the war there was a quantity of tobacco belong-
ing to Austria and France at Richmond, and arrangements
were made for its transmission to these countries. The sub-
ject of cotton was entirely a different question.
EXTENSION OF THE COUNTY FRANCHISE.
Mr. LOCKE KING moved for leave to bring in a bill
to extend the franchise in the counties in England and
Wales. He said that the object of the bill was to introduce
into the constituency of the country a class that, from their
intelligence and numbers, were entitled to have a voice in
the election of their representatives in Parliament. He con-
tended that the increase in population justified a corre-
sponding extension in the franchise, and he drew the
attention of the house to the fact that there had been a
decrease in the number of county electors within the
last few years, they having dwindled from 622,000 to
519,000, an amount which in no way represented the
population in the rural districts, the fact being
that not one-fourth of that population had got
a voice. The lion. member then entered into a history
of the different efforts which had been made relative to this
subject in Parliament, but his remarks were listened to with
great indifference by the house, which was numerously
attended.
Mr. HADFIELD seconded the motion. _ _

Sir G. GREY said that the Governmont did not intend
to oppose the first reading of the bill, and would therefore
allow the debate on the merits of the measure to stand over
until the second reading.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

.COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.)
IN RE STRONSBERG.

This was an application for release from custody. The
bankrupt is described as Ferdinand Phillip Fischel Strons-
berg, late of Jerrayn-street, St. James's, and Oakley, Sur-
rey, and now a prisoner for debt in Whitecross -street,
gentleman.
The bankrupt applied for his discharge on a former occa-
sion, he having executed a deed of arrangement ; the appli-
cation, however, was refused by Mr. Commissioner Goul-
burn, and a similar application to ono of the learned judges
at chambers was also refused. Ho was then adjudicated
bankrupt, and now applied for his release under the bank-
ruptcy.
Mr. Reed opposed on the part of the 'Western Assurance
Company, who are creditors to the extent of £l,OOO, and said
that at present there were no materials before the Court
from which his Honour could judge of the reasonableness
of the application, no statement of accounts having yet been
filed.
His Honour declined to interfere until after the choice of
assignees.
The Metropolitan General Life Assurance Company are
creditors for £9C9, and the Mitre General Life Assurance
Company for L 1,090.
(Before Mr. Registrar Murray.)
RE W. C. SELBY.
This was a meeting for choice of assignees. The bank-
rupt was a farmer at Ightham, near Sevenoaks, and his
debts were about £5OO. Upon the application of Mr.
\Vetherfield, solicitor, of Moorgate-street, the meeting was
adjourned by the Registrar, to enable the bankrupt to carry
out a contemplated compromise. One creditor only appeared
to-day, and consented.
