PLYMOUTH, JUNE 20,

The ship Tiptree, from Sydney, April 1, has
passed this port. Eight of her passen,ers landed
here to-day, and they report sighting, on Thursday
last, at the entrance of the Channel, one of Messrs.
Green's ships, supposed to be the Dover Castle,
that left Melbourne on the 20th March, with 19,000
ounces of gold.

She brings in all 34 cabin and 32 steerage passen-
gers, among whom are Mrs. Lockhart, Mrs. Rae,
Mrs, Brett, and Mesdames Cruickshank, Oliver, and
Bowton, Miss Creasy, Miss Mahony, Mr. and Mrs.
Bell, Mr. and Mrs. Baines, Rev. Father Murphy,
Mr. Provan, and Mr. Weir.

Her cargo includes about 3,000 bales of woo', some
hides, and a quantity of bark, copper ore, &c.
After departure the Tiptree experienced strong
southerly and south-west gales, which drove her so
far east as to prevent her from going seuth of New
Zealand. She went through Cook's Straits, April
12, 68 days, passed Chatham Island on the 14th,
and had strong westerly gales, during which, on
the 17th, in 55 S., three large icebergs were ob-
served, and the Tiptree rounded Cape Horn May 1,
entered the Southern Tropics on the 17th, crossed
the Line on the 25th, and at 9 p.m. yesterday was
off the Start under all sail, wind N. by E., fine.
She spoke, May 18, in long. 20.0 S., lat. 26.46

seilles, for Mauritius; 21st, in lat. 10.29 S., long

THE DHAR PRIZE-MONEY.

In reply to Lord STANLEY,
Sir C. WOOD stated that it was the fact that the pri-
vate soldiers of the Mulwa field force, which afterwards
formed the first brigade of Sir Hugh Rose's division,
would receive about £4O each from the Dhar prize-
money, that booty having been granted exclusively to the
actual captors.

POOR LAW RATING.
On the motion for going into committee of supply,

Mr. HUBBARD called attention at considerable length
to the state of the law for rating to the relief of the poor,
pointing out the vast number of anomalies which existed
under the present system. The hon. gentleman concluded
by moving for certain returns in connection with the Union
Assessment Committee Act, and especially with respect to
cottages of less than £6 per cent. rental.
Mr. HENLEY objected to the return, as not being
capable of being rendered in a complete form.
Mr. H. S. THOMPSON thought it would be better to
postpone making the return until it could be presented in a
complete and useful shape.

Sir B. LEIGHTON advocated the extension of the law
to the whole country, and mentioned several anomalous
instances where certain properties in bis county, consist-
ing of limeworks and quarries, where rated when open, and
not rated when underground.
Mr. DODSON thought the question would be best left
to local management. . . _ _

Mr. VILLIERS said he thought the experience of the
working of the Act so far as it had gone was in its
favour. The returns asked for, if now presented, could not
possibly contain the information that was required. He
therefore hoped his hon. friend would consent to postpone
the consideration of the question to a more convenient time.
Mr. PUGH thought it would be better to postpone the
consideratidn of the question until the reports had been
presented from the various provincial districts.
_ _ _

The motion wag then withdrawn.
GREENWICH HOSPITAL.

Mr. LIDDELL rose to call attention to the report of
the Royal Commission upon Greenwich Hospital, pre-
sented to Parliament in May, 1860 ; and to inquire what
were the intentions of the Government in respect to car-
rying out further the recommendations of that Commission,
either by a bill to amend the law relating to Greenwich
Hospital, or by regulations of the Board of Admiralty. The
hon. gentleman said he thought the exisiting evils in the
management of the hospital were traceable to three causes,
namely, absence of responsibility, conflict of authority, and
supineness of action. In 1859 a commission had been ap-
pointed, whose report recommended, first, an entire change
uthe governing body of the hospital ; second:y, a material

CITY OF MEXICO.

The city is situated at the bottom of a valley,
2,277 metres above the level of the sea. Ancient
histories state that the valley contained before the
Spanish conquest a number of flourishing towns,
surrounded with groves of trees and richly cultivated
land, forming a delightful garden, Those towns are
now only poor villages, and the cultivation is half
abandoned. The city of Mexico is the finest in the
country ; the streets are perfectly straight, and run
north and south or east and west ; they are well
paved and lined with foot pavements and hand-
some houses, generally two storeys high. These
houses are mostly painted in vivid colours. The
parapet which surmounts the terraced roof is
generally crenelated and festooned, and the win-
dows of the ground floor are ornamented with
handsome ironwork. An immense number of
cupolas of churches and convents rise above the
terraces, and spread over the town their blue,
red, or yellow domes. The Moorish architecture of
those buildings would almost cause them to be
taken for so many mosques, and the cathedral
towers rising like two minarets complete the en-
tirely Oriental aspect of the place. It would be too
long to describe the 60 churches and 30 convents of
the city, and its civil and military establishments.
The Great Square (Plaza Mayor) is a vast quadri-
lateral space, at the north side of which rises the
cathedral with its towers, while on the eastern side,
for a distance of 200 metres, extends the National
Palace, or seat of Government, with the Ministerial
offices, the Senate, the Chamber of Deputies, the
Supreme Court of Justice, the War-office, the Trea-
sury, the Mint, the Post-office, the Botanical Garden,
and three barracks. Oa the western and southern
sides the square is completed by buildings
with covered galleries, and by the Town-hall.
The University, which is near the residence of the
former Viceroys, contains an interesting museum of
Mexican antiquities; but the finest edifice of the
town is unquestionably the School of Mines. This
handsome city is peopled by 200,000 inhabitants;
its streets present a very animated aspect—soldiers,
priests, monks, beggars, women of all conditions,
horsemen, carriages, carts and pack-horses passing
without cessation. In consequence of the six lakes
which surround Mexico, and the numerous marshes
which border them, it appears that the climate will
not be so salubrious as might be desired, until some
drainage works shall have been executed. The in-
habitants, however, suffer little from the unhealthi-
ness of the city, owing to the width of the streets
and the wind, which is continually changing the air.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

SCOTTISH CENTRAL.
A special meeting was held at Perth on Wed-
nebday to consider the hill for an amalgamation
with the Dundee and Perth Company. Mr. I'"
Bruce presided.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the approval of the
bill, said that notwithstanding the opposition by
the North British and the coalowners of Fife, it had
passed through the committee of the House of
Gammons, and the opposition had been entirely un-
successful.
Mr. MACDUFF seconded the motion, which Was

agreed to.
It was also resolved to approve the bill to enable
the Scottish Central to make branches to Pleae
mineral fields, and also the Devon Valley Bill, for
the creation of preference shares, and giving the
Scottish Central a permissive power to work the
line.

more than five pounds for every day during which such
work shall have been so carried on."
Clauses up to 11 were agreed to with amendments.
On clause 12, which relates to prosecutions being taken
to the quarter sessions, it was suggested by Mr. BRIGHT
that the county courts should be instituted, and he moved
that the chairman report progress in order to give the Go-
vernment time to consider the subject.

Mr. COBDEN said unless the amendments propr.sed by
the trade, so as to make the bill palatable, were adopted,
la.e bill would have to encounter severe opposition.

Sir G. GREY intimated a desire on the part of the
Government to meet all the reasonable requirements of the
trade. There would be no objection on the part of the Go-
vernment to assent to the right of appeal.
Mr. BRIGHT withdrew his amendment.
Ultimately the committee divided on the clause, when
there appeared—

For the clause lll
Against
Majority
The clause was therefore adopted.
On clause 13,

Mr. VIVIAN proposed an addition to the effect that
owners of mills should be liable, in the first instance, pre-
liminary to the punishment of culpable workpeople. The
clause was copied verbatim from the Factory Act.
Mr. PULLER declared that the proposition would be
inoperative.
Mr. BRUCE supported the clause.
The committee divided on the proposed clause, when there
appeared
For the clause
Against
Majority —26
The clause was consequently added to the bill.
Mr. BOUVERIE moved that the act be limited to the
Ist of July, 1868.—Agreed to.

The CHAIRMAN was ordered to report progress. The
house resumed.
The sitting was suspended at 4 o'clock.

THE CAPTURE OF PUEBLA.—At Fontaineblnde
ean,
while the band of the Guards were playing Under
the windows of the hall where the Imperial party were
seated at dinner, the Prince Imperial suddenly made his ap-
pearance at one of the open windows, and flung out among
the musicians a small note, bearing on it the words " Puebla
is ours I Cieneral Ortega has surrendered, with 18,000
men I" Loud exclamations greeted this intelligence, which
rapidly spread through the men, to the crowd assembled
around them, and thence was circulated through the town
of Fontainebleau. The band struck up the national air of
" Partant pour la Syria," which was rapturously received,
amid cries of " Vive l'Erapereur I viva l'lmperatrica," and
at nightfall an improvised illumination was got up, while
rockets and fireworks were let off in various quarters of the
town. A grand fete vies given at the chateau in honour of
the event on Sunday, when at a banquet were assembled,
besides the guests on a visit to their Majesties, all the func-
tionaries and persons of note of the town and neighbpur-
hood.

Swimming Across the Mersey.

As a wind-up to the annual contests among
members of the Liverpool Athletic Club, under the
designation of " Olympic games," a swimming
match took place yesterday on the Mersey, the prize
being one of the club medals. On Saturday last the
other athletic competitions, held under the auspices
of the club, took place in presence of a large con-
course of spectators, and yesterday the swimming
match took place as a wind-up to the sports. The
course selected was from New Brighton to a flag-
boat moored off the great landing stage. There
were nine entries—viz., Messrs. F. Graham, Alex.
Aitkin, G. Ilarford, R. A. 0. Beaver, E, Bolton, M.
M'Cullin, J. Pennington, W. L. Tease, and S.
Miles. Of these, eight competitors started, leaving
New Brighton at five minutes before 12 o'clock at
noon, the tide flowing, and the day calm, and,
though cloudy, warm. Immense crowds of specta-
tors lined the pier-heads and landing-stages, and
numerous parties were in boats and steamers on the
river. In little more than five minutes after start-
ing six of the eight competitors gave in and were
taken up by boats which were in attendance. The
competitors thus left were reduced to two—Messrs.
M'Cullin and Aitkin, both of whom continued to
swim in admirable style and with praiseworthy
emulation. From the strength of the tidal current,
the swimmers were carried well up the river before
they could make any attempt to
ocross, which was
not essayed till they had reacheda point nearly
opposite to the Albert Warehouses, which was
attained about 1 o'clock. At this point Mr. Aitkia
became exhausted and was taken on board one of
the boats, and M'Cullin, continuing on his career
