SHAKSPEARE CELEBRATION.

(From the Atheneum.)
Our readers will be glad to hear that every diffi-
culty which appeared to lie in the way of a common
understanding and a common action, on the part of
those who are interested in an appropriate celebra-
tion of Shakspeare's birthday, in April of next year,
has been removed. The gentlemen of the Urban
Club, who were so honourably busy in the field, the
members of the Dramatic Authors' Society, with
those who had become associated in their labours
under the common title of the Ter-centenary
Shakspeare Monument Committee, have shed their
separate existence, and united themselves to the
National Shakspeare Committee, bringing to
that corporation a large increase of numbers
and of strength. Of the committee which
was said to have had its origin in the
Garrick Club, and to be acting in behalf of the Dra-
matic College, we hear very little now said. The
members of that committee have not been called to-
gether; many of its members are serving on the
National Shakespeare Committee ; and we may
safely affirm that it contemplates no kiild of rivalry
—much less opposition--to the National Committee.
So far the ground seems to have been made clear.
There is consequently now but one body charged
before the public with the duty of carrying into
visible effect the popular desire that due honour
should be done to literature by a monument to
Shakespeare. That body desires to associate the
whole public in its work ; it appeals to the represen-
tative men of all classes for countenance and help.
If there be any one name in our past annals
under which all men may associate with honour
and consistency, it is surely that of Shakspeare.
The poet is a typical sovereign—the representative
of all, and one whom all may in some degree repre
sent. And this is a fact on which the committee
may fairly count—a bond and sign of brotherhood.
in the name of which the most widely separated
classes may be aeked to work together. The Na-
tional Shakspeare Committee includes already
within its ranks the bishop and the dramatic
author, the Cabinet Minister and the newspaper
editor, the viceroy and the provincial mayor, the
great peer and the working barrister, the dissenting
minister and the thoughtful poet. If any class or
order of men is still unrepresented on the commit
tee, the secretaries should be instantly informed of
the fact. The committee are anxious to invite all
those who are willing to give them help.
So far as the organisation has been completed up
to this time, the following facts may be stated. By
the great liberality of a member of the committee,
the use of permanent apartments has 'been secured
at 120, Pall-mall, which in future may be con-
sidered as the headquarters of the committee. All
public communications should, in future, be sent to
that address. A clerk will be in attendance from
ten to four, of whom the printed papers of the com-
mittee and all necessary information may be ob-
tained by those who seek them. Messrs. Coutts
and Co. have been appointed bankers to the com-
mittee. An account has been opened at the bank,
and a book of subscriptions laid on the counter.
To that firm moneys and cheques may now be paid
to account of the National Shakspeare Committee.

ASCENT OF THE FIUSTERAARHORN,—A letter
from Switzerland of the 20th inst. says that Pro-
fesser Studer and three companions, accompanied by a num-
ber of guides, has recently again ascended this mountain.
The same letter also states that two priests from Pontresina
had made the first ascent of the Piz Zupo, the second
highest peak of the Bernina group in the canton of Orisons.

THE BEST BOON TO DRESSMAKERS.—Every lady
who causes a young dressmaker to be duly instructed
in the use of the sewing machine at once gives her testi-
mony in aid of that remedy, and qualifies a workwoman to
command some sort of terms, if not instantly, as soon as the use
of the implement becomes indispensable. In the first-rate
establishments of our largest provincial towns,young women
take higher ground than in London, because they are not
so many as to leave all the power in the employers' hands.
They can guard against the long hours which are so fearful
an evil: and, in fact, will not go to work before nine, nor
stay after eight,—except on occasions of mourning,or some-
thing unusual; and they require from one to two hours
for dinner when, as they often prefer, they go home for
dinner, as well as to sleep. A well-qualified dressmaker
by machinery,—turning out four iwes as much work per
hour as she could as a mere neellewornan,—migt t, doubt.
less, make her own bagain in much the same way in Lon-
don. lam sure I hope some will be enabled to try.—aw e

HER MAJESTY.

OSBORNE, July 24.

The Queen drove out yesterday morning.
Her Grand Ducal Highness Princess Leiningen
gave birth to a princess at a quarter-past 3 o'clock
this morning at Osborne, and, with the infant, is
doing perfectly well.
_ _

Her Majesty was with her niece at the time and
daring the greater part of the night.

The Visit of the Prince and Princess of
Wales to Halifax.
The arrangements for this visit are now completed,
and were agreed upon at a meeting of the Halifax
Town.Couneil, held onThursday evening last. Their
royal highnesses and suite will arrive at the Hali-
fax station about 3 o'clock on Monday, August 3.
The Mayor, Mr. Crossley, attended by the alder-
men and councillors, will meet the royal party at
the station, from which, under an escort of cavalry,

their royal highnesses will proceed at once to the
mayor's residence, Manor Heath, where they will
pass the night. At 11 o'clock the next day (Tues-
day) their royal highnesses will leave Manor Heath
for the purpose of opening the new Town Hall.
The procession will take the route marked out, and,
on reaching the gates of the People's Park (the gift
to the town of Sir F. Crossley, Bart., M.P.), the
ropal party will alight from their carriages and
walk through the grounds. All Souls' Church,
which is on the line of route, and which was built
by Mr. E. Akroyd, from designs by Mr. George
Gilbert Scott, will also be honoured by a visit from
their royal highnesses. Among those expected to
take part in the procession are the borough officials,
the deputy lieutenants, the Bishop of Ripon, Lieut.
General Sir George Wetherall, Sir Charles Wood,
M.P., Sir J. W. Ramsden, M.P., Sir F. Crossley,
M.P., Mr. Stansfield, M.P., the magistracy, &c.
In the Piece Hall, through which the Prince and
Princess will pass, will be gathered 16,000 scholars,
a band 300 strong, and 10,000 spectators. Here
the scholars and band will perform " God bless the
rrince of Wales," the National Anthem, and the
"Hallelujah chorus." The ceremony in the Town
Hall will consist of the sivging and playing of the
English and Danish National Anthems. Prayers
will also be offered, and addresses will be presented
to their royal highnesses. The Prince will then
declare the hall opened. Their royal highnesses
will afterwards partake of luncheon in the council
chamber, at the close of which they will leave the
town for Studley Park, the seat of Earl de Grey
and Ripon, on their way north. Great prepara-
tions are being made at Halifax in honour of the
royal Visit.

THE HEALTH OF THE KING OF THE BEL-
GIANS—A few days since the Duke of Brabant,
while addressing a musical society—of which his royal
highness is president—at Namur, announced that his
august father was then enjoying perfectly good health.
The Duchess of Buccleuch, accompanied by the
Ladies Scott, have arrived at the Hotel Bristol, from Lon-
don, on their way to Carlsbad.
The Duke and Duchess of ,Richmond and Lady
Caroline Gordon Lennox have left town for Goodwood,
where they will receive a large party during the race week.
The Duke and Duchess of Northumberland,
owiug to the improved health of the duke, intend to pro-
long their stay at Sion House, Isleworth, and will shortly
entertain a succession of their intimate friends at that beau-
tiful suburban residence.
The Duchess (Dowager) of Sutherland leaves
Chiswick to-day, for her residence, Cliefden, near Maiden-
head, and towards the end of next week will depart for
the Continent.

His Excellency the Marquis d'Azeglio enter-
tained a select party at dinner on Wednesday evening, at
the residence of the Italian Legation.
The Earl and Countess Amherst and Lady Con-
stance Amherst and family have left town for Montreal

Victoria Ashley, Viscount and Viscountess Sydney, the
Hon. Captain Edgcumbe, &c.

The Countess of "'Addington and the HoII.

their residence in Grosvenor-square.
Lord and Lady Carnoys and the Hon. Miss
Stonor will return to town for the marriage of Lord Alex-
ander Gordon-Lennox and Miss Townley, daughter of
Colonel and Lady Caroline Townley.
I'he Baron and Baroness Rottermond and family
have taken their departure from the Brunswick, JerroP"
street for the Continent,
Sir John and Lady Bowring have passed through
Paris, from Luchon, on their way to London.
THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON is living now in great
seclusion at Vichy. At eight o'clock in tilt morn-
ing he takes a bath and douche, and then walks in the
park, returning to breakfast. After that, he reads his dis-
patches and attends to business until three in the afternoon,
then takes another walk, drinks the waters at the Source
de l'Hopital, or at the Source des Mesdames, and returns t•
dine at five. His Majesty's evenings are generally passed
in reading or writing, but he occasionally visits the Theatre
de la Rotondo.

THE EMPRESS EUGENIE AND THE DUKE OF
HAMILTON'S LATE MELANCHOLY DEATH.--If
other proof were wanting to the many instances already 13
everyone's memory, of the kindness of heart and genial
sympathy testified by the amiable Empress Eugenie to-
wards every form of suffering, we should have it, says the
Queen, in the present occasion, when her Majesty, from the
first announcement of the accident which terminated s°
fatally, not only evinced the deepest feeling, but herself re"
pairing near the lonely sufferer, directed in the most judi-
cious manner the various means employed for his recovery;
and did all which the tenderest sister or mother could have
suggested for his relief, When all these had proved ineffec-
tual, and death had closed the long-protracted agony of
three days' duration, during which the duke never recovered
consciousness, her Majesty s solicitude turned to the be"
reeved widow and her young daughter, who accompanied
her back to St. Cloud, where they have remained over
since.

SKAIFE'S ENAMELLED PISTOLGRAM is a very
curious and beautiful production, the portrait
having all the appearance of being embedded in a precious
stone. Before the picture is enclosed in glass it is first
touched with water-colour, which colour is fixed on the
photograph by the crystallizing cement. Instead of the
ordinary purple a piece of crystal glass, or rock crystal, is
cemented on the surface, then both sides are ground and
polished equally as a bi-convex lens. The crystal is then
dropped into a capsule of pure virgin gold, filled with some
enamelling composition heated to a high temperature. In a
few minutes the crystal assumes permanently the colour
and brilliancy of a fine ruby. The ruby is not, however,
the or ly gem which the inventor has succeeded in imitating
in these enamelled likenesses. Specimens have also been
produced of sapphire, carbuncle, emerald, and the oriental
sapphire, the last-named, unlike the others, being Pr°•
duced in a capsule of silver.

WASTE OF HUMAN LIFE IN WAR. —From the
statistics collected by the sanitary commission, it
appears that in spite of the high average health of our welt_
as compared with that of European armies, to keep a ford
of 500,000 men up to its full strength in the field, it nt
receive a reinforcement of 123,000 men every year.
other words, without any ordinary reverses or disaster:
without cholera, or crushing defeats, half a million of the
healthiest troops in the world, engaged in active operation;
will, if not recruited, in two years dwindle down to I_,,
that number, and in four years will totally disappear from"
the field.—New York Times.

WARLIKE PREPARATIONS OF DENMARF...--Den'
mark appears to be preparing energetically for the,
war with which Germany threatens her on the question al
the duchies. Royal decrees are renewing the arrangouents
with regard to military quarterings, " because circura,:
stances might render the application of them necessary
and the Minister of Marine invites the captains of merchallb
vessels to enter the naval service of the state as lieutenant°.
SINGULAR ASSAULT BY A RAM.—On Sunday l'Ast'
while a young woman named Margaret Johnston, residing
itt Toxside Hill, was proceeding to church, she was st-
racked on the road by a ram, and so seriously injured that
she had to be carried home. On examination it Was dis-
covered that her right leg was broken, and her left leg se'
riously dislocated.—Edinburgh Courant.

thg Two Large American Ships by
e Cof
onfederate Steamer Florida.

BY a telegram received yesterday in the City,
from 1 I'a-m"th, announcing the arrival at that port,
on her way to Antwerp, of the ship Mariana, from
Monte Video, we hear of the destruction of two
More fine large American ships by the Confederate
steamer Florida, commanded by Capt. Semmes, late
of the Alabama, and capture of a prize of bars of
silver, of the value of about £20,000. One of the
ships was a fine first-class vessel, called the B.
Hoxie, belonging to Mystick, in the United
States, on a voyage from Alata to Falmouth,
for orders. In addition to having a valuable cargo
of merchandise, reported to have been consigned to
British merchants, she had on board a number of
silver bars and a quantity of silver ore. A boat
front the Florida
lat. 10 boarded her on the 16th ult. in
ca . inn
36 W.,
g'.7ing a bond to release the ship, the
and it is stated that the
of cou.ree, being boat 8 crew took the silver, and set fire to the vessel,
the crew,
g put on board the Florida.
The other
. ship seized and destroyed Was the Red
long. 35 W., Gauntlet, in lat. 8 N.,
time. She. was from Boston to Hong Kong. The
about the same
two captains were transferred to the Mariana,
'which has brought them to England.

The movement of the navigation in the port of
Rotten durin the first fortnight of the month of
July, was 238 ships, measuring tpgether 22,964 tons, being
a decrease of two ships and 1,424 tons on the same period
in the preceding year. The number of ships corning in-
wards was 118 ; of which 38 were from abroad, 23 being
from England; the vessels outwards were 120.
