Emperor has offered to Marshal the Duke do Mala-
koff the place of Governor of the Invalides, but that
the marshal has declined the honour, preferring to
retain his present position."

panied by the members of the Court, aro expected to artive

SUDDEN DEATII OF GEN. MACNEIL.--We regret
to announce the sudden death of General Roderick
Macneil, Colonel of the 78th Regiment of Foot, who ex-
pired shortly after eleven yesterday forenoon, at his house
in Hyde-park-gardens. The deceased general was a Penin-
sular and Waterloo officer. He was at the battle of Corunna,
and subsequently served in the Walcheren Expedition in
1809. After seeing active servic3 in Swedish Pomerania
and Holland in the years 1813 and 1814, he took part in the
campaign of 1815, including the battle of Waterloo. For
some years he held the command of the 78th Highlanders,
with which regiment he proceeded to India. In recognition
of his long and meritorious services, the deceased general
was in 1855 appointed colonel of the Bth (King's) Regi-
ment of Foot, and, on a vacancy occurring in the 78th, he
was transferred to that regiment. He entered the army as
ensign in March, 1808, and obtained the rank of general in
December last year.

THE ARCHDUKE MAXIMILIAN is fully resolved to
go to Mexico, if the majority of the inhabitants of
that country will consent to accept him as their Sovereign,
and matters have been so skilfully managed by Marshal
Foray that they arc likely to do so. The relations between
the Emperor Napoleon end the Archduke are extremely
intimate, and it is said that the former has promised his
enterprising protege to leave 5,000 French troops for a cer-
tain number of years at Acapulco and some other place on
the west coast of Mexico. The Archduke Ferdinand Maxi-
milian is a goodnatured man and clever withal, but he is so
ambitious and vain that he is not a favourite in Vienna. For
some years his Imperial Highness has had very little per-
sonal communication with his brother, the Emperor, and
the public attribute his Imperial Highness's rare appearance
at this Court to family dissensions.

MR. W. PER of North Audley-street, has just
carved out of a piece of an old oak beam of Shakespeare's
house at Stratford-on-Avon a bust of the poet, with con-
siderable success.

THE lIIACKERAYAN PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE.—WO
all know what that philosophy is. It might be summed up
in the brief formula—" Man is a humbug, There is nothing
but insincerity and disappointment in the world. Life is a
sad dog, and therefore let us make fun of it." The said
"fun," one need hardly remark, is no fan at all, but rather
a despairing defiance of the death's-head which we are con-
stantly bidden to contemplate. The merriment of an ancient
Egyptian in presence of the same memento mori set on the
festive table, or of roysterers in a city stricken by the
plague; must have had very much of this character. We
are at a loss to see the benefit or the pleasure of such
" philosophising." It is neither true nor fascinating.
THE BLUE BOAR AT ITS LAST GASP.—A relic of
Old London is now fast disappearing—the Blue
Boar Inn—or the George and Blue Boar, as it came to be
called later, in Holborn. For more than two hundred years
this was one of the famous coaching houses, whence stages
went to, and where they arrived from, the North and Mid-
land Counties. It is more famous still as being the scene—
if Lord Orrery's chaplain, Morrice, may be credited—where
Cromwell and Ireton, disguised as troopers, cut from the
saddle-flap of a messenger a letter which they knew to be
there, from Charles the First to Henrietta Maria. They
bad previously intercepted a letter from the Queen to her
husband, in which she reproached him for entering into a
compact of reconciliation with Cromwell and his party.
This letter was sent on, and now they intercepted the reply,
in which Charles spoke of them as rogues whom he would,
by-and-by, hang instead of reward. According to Mor-
rice, this sealed the King's fate. Such is the legend con-
nected with the Blue Boar, Holborn, which is described, in
Queen Anne's reign, as "situate opposite ' Southampton
Square.' "—A then ceum.

HUNG BEEF.—A bullock came by its death a
short time since in the fields hereabouts in a very remark-
able manner. It appears that the animal was grazing by
the side of a ditch, over which were growing some withey
trees, and while nibbling the leaves off a tree, with its head
between two branches, the bank on which its fore feet were
resting gave way, and the boast's head became fixed in the
fork of the tree. When discovered it was quite dead, having
accidentally hung itself.—West Sussex Gazette.
MR. BRIGHT AND THE WAR IN AMERICA.—
The following extract from a letter of John Bright,
Eeq,, M.P., to a gentleman in New York, dated Rochdale,
Sept. 26, is published in the .11ew York lierald:—" I need
not tell you how much I rejoice in the prospect of a ter •
urination of your grievous War, and how much I hope
that your independence of the slave power is now secured.
There is much angry feeling on your side against this
country, and there is cause for it. Nevertheless, our Go-
vernment has stood firm against the propositions for media-
tion or recognition from France, and its conduct in some
respects contrasts favourably with that of the Emperor of
the French, and this I hope your people will not forget.
The iron-clad ships are not allowed to go out on their
piratical career, and Mason, the Southern envoy, has left
London in disgust. I hope this will show you that every-
thing is not bad in England."

OUR MODERN PLAYGOERS, according to the
Saturday Review, love poetry after the fashion of a lady
describet in one of those humorous papers with which, in
their day, the brothers Smith enlivened the magazines.
In the days of courtship, the lady has professed to be an
ad3rer of poetry, and on the faith of this profession her
husband, a few weeks after marriage, reads Milton's
" Lycidas." She finds the effusion tedious, but when re-
proached with inconsistency she bravely defends herself by
asserting a predilection for something funny," and asking.
her husband to read " Peter Pindar " or the " Tour et
Doctor Syntax." _

The annual meeting of the Queen Insurance
Company was held at the head-office in Liverpool,
on Wednesday. The directors' report, which was
adopted unanimously, was most satisfactory, blth
as regarded the life and fire branches. It appeared
that in the life department proposals to the large
amount of £55,000 had been declined during the
year, showing the great care taken in the selection
of lives ; whilst the new policies issued were larger
by £53,000 than those of the preceding year. The
premium income of the year was £16,352 ss. id.
The first quiequennial period having arrived, Mr.
S. Moncrieff Wilson, the actuary of the company,
has
made the necessary investigation into the com-
pany's affairs, and the result, as shown in the re-
port, is exceedingly gratifying. Tho valuation
was made on the basis of the 3 per cent. Carlisle
tables, and after a laborious assessment of every
individual policy, the actuary, in his report, states
that the bonus to be added to all policies entitled to
participate, " will exceed on the average of ordinary
assurers 46 per cent. per annum of the total pre-
miums paid, and will rise in some instances accord-
ing to age, as high as 65, 70, and even 75 per cent.
of the total premiums which have been received."
The high position which Mr. Wilson occupies in the
insurance profession is ample guarantee that the
large bonus thus apportioned is warranted by the
Position of the company's affairs. In the fire branch
the premium income of the year wasi7o,3oo 25.11 d.,
being an increase of nearly £23,000 over that of the
Previous year, and this amount has been carried to
the credit of the reserve fund. A dividend at the
rate of 8 per cent. per annum was declared. INIr.
Sohn E. Leyland, the sub-manager in Liverpool,
has been appointed secretary to the company, to be
resident in London, where he will devote his
energies to strengthen the position of the company's
f:reingeoas,and pay special attention to some of the
have beebranches, which, in the case of the "Queen,"

AGREEABLE ANTICIPATIONS OF AN EARTHQUAKE
IN LONDON.—Let us suppose what might be the
result in London of an earthquake similar to that of Lisbon,
and happening in the night, The single-storied dwellings
of the poor might probably remain erect, though damaged;
but what of the four and five storied dwellings of the
middle classes—what of the huge palaces, piled floor on
cast

The huge Cathedra! of St. Paul's would bury its

and their many spires would fall down--the warehouses
and stone bridges on the river would block its channel, and
the breached and riven banks would again convert the
whole low lying lands into the marsh that they were in
the days of Julius Caesar ; but all putrid with dead bodies,
Water and gas supply would cease, and the great sewers
would be underground reservoirs of pestilence. A plague
would supervene, and many hundreds of thousands would
perish, The dockyards would be destroyed, and speculat-
ing despots on the Continent would gloat over the downfall
of English supremacy, and talk of invading us with the
pretext of help. Tho cast-iron bridge at Queen-street
would not be left for the New Zealauder, and though the
forged upper structure at Charing-cross would be inde-
structible save by time and rust, the masonry of the piers
would burst through the cast-iron casings, and leave the
bridge a wreck. And meanwhile throughout England
similar ruin might prevail, and commerce be stopped, and
famine add its presence to other evils. The transit of food
and fuel by water would cease, and the toppling down of
brick viaducts would stop for a time all railway transit.—

BANNS OF MARRIAGE FORBIDDEN.—The rare
occurrence of forbidden banns of marriage occurred at
St. Andrew's Church, Stratton, Cornwall, on Sunday
last, the 18th. The banns had been published for "the
third time of asking," when a tall, middle-aged woman
rose from her seat, and in an audible voice said, " I
forbid these banns, sir." The clergyman, the Rev. W. B.
Marsh, then requested that the woman would come to him
in the vestry after service. This she aid; and it uns dis-
covered that the poor woman had only too good cause for
forbidding the banns, as she was the bona fide wife of the
man whose banns hal been called for the third time that

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MANSION-HOUSE.

MANSLAUGHTER.—Ann Harnett was placid at the bar
on remand, charged with the manslaughter of Joseph
Holland.

It will be recollected, from a report of the previous exa-
mination of the witnesses at the Mansion• house, that a
quarrel arose between a female with whom the deceased
cohabited and the prisoner, and in the attempt to separate
them the prisoner struck him a violent blow, which at the
time caused him great suffering, and after three or four days
he died. The fatal occurrence took place in Smith's-build,
ings, Bishopsgate.
Br. Fowler, the medical gentleman who attended the
case, after the occurrence, said he had assisted Dr. Holden,of
St. Bartholomew's llespital, in making a post mortein ex-
amination of deceased, and the result of these labours was
that they were of opinion that death was occasioned by the
vomiting caused by a violent blow in the pit of the stomach,
such as that described by the witnesses. The siomach of
of the unfortunate man was in a state of acute inflamma-
tion,

Dr. Holden, assistant-surgeon, of St. Bartholomew's
Hospital, said he was present with Dr. Fowler at a paid
mortem examination of the deceased, and he quite agreed
with his opinion as to the cause of death.
The prisoner having been cautioned in the usual manner,
said she had nothing to say in answer to the charge.
The Lord Mayor fully committed him for trial at the
next sessions of the Old Bailey.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
THE OUTCASTS IN THE PARK.—Esther Parsons, de-
scribed as a laundress and of no home, was charged before
Mr. Knox with sleeping in the open air in Hyde Park.
George Fassnige, 604 A, deposed that while patrolling
the park about 11 the previous night, he saw the prisoner
asleep under a tree near the Royal Humane Society's
receiving-house. He then took her into custody.
Mr. Knox asked the constable whether the prisoner gave
any account of herself, and whether she was one of the
wretched women who infested the parks?
The constable said the prisoner frequented the park, but
he had never seen her asleep there before.
In answer to Mr. Knox, Inspector Bowles, C division,
said the park gates were cicsed from nine at night till six
in the morning, during which time persons were prohibited
from being there. Constables were, however, on duty till
12 o'clock at night.

Mr. Knox said it was highly desirable the women should
be removed. It was a terrii)le story altogether. He should
sand the prisoner to prison for a month, and when she
came out she could go to the workhouse. Anything was
better than what she had been doing.
Whether from fear of being taken into custody, so much
publicity having been given to the matter, or from some
other cause, last night there was only one woman found
sleeping in the park.

ALLEGED FRAUD.—Alfred Styles, a tall, well-dressed
young man, who gave the address 8, Buckingham-street,
Strand, was brought before Mr. Knox, charged by Sergeant
Thompson, of the detective police, on a warrant, charging
him with having obtained, at 119, Jermyn-street, from
Martha Cattle, the sum of £lO by false pretences, with in-
tent to defraud Mr. Charles Cattle.

The accused was formerly a grocer's assistant, now a
sot. disant captain, and is the " enthusiastic youth" recently
discharged at the Old Bailey for the indictment charging
him with enlisting young men to go to Poland.
Upon the case being called on, the Sergeant informed
Mr. Knox that there was no prosecutor present, whereupon
the accused was discharged.

The Mineral Wealth of the United Kingdom

-
The Stationery-oflice has just issued the " Mine
ral Statistics of the United Kingdom of Great Bri-
tain and Ireland for 1862, by Robert Hunt, F.R.S.,
Keeper of Mining Records."

From this important publication wo are enabled
to glean the following particulars relating to the
mineral produce of these islands, tho annual pub-
lication of these records bring, we conceive, one of
the most valuable divisions of those labours, over
which Sir Roderick Murchison presides.
