THE ETHNOLOGICAL SOCIE rY.

A crowded meeting of this society took place
yesterday, the attraction being a paper " On the
Antiquity of Man," by Mr. J. Crawfurd, the Presi-
dent. The author objected to the recent work of
Sir Cbanea Lyell, in respect to certain branches of
the subject on which he had bestowed special eaten-
Lion. He stated at once his own conviction that the
presence of man on the earth had an antiqaity far
beyond the usual estimate, and that there was n°
question as to his having been the contemporary of
the fossil elephants, lions, and rhinoceroses. ll°
opposed Sir C. Lyell on the points of the unity of
the burner. race and the Aryan theory of language,
and the origin by transmutation of man from the
apes. On the first point Mr. Crawfurd concludes
that there is no shadow of evidence for the unity of
the human races, and none for any having under'
4one any appreciable change of form. If 1,000, or
4,000, or 10,000, or 100,000 years, supposing the last
he age of the skeletons of the Belgian race cull'
'emporary with the Mammoth, have 3 ielded n°
differences from the present European type, it is, he
believes, reasonable to consider that multiplying
any of these sums by a million of years would yield
nothing but the same cipher. On the second point'
ne said that Sir Charles's object, following the
philosophers of Germany, week seem to be to reduce
ail languages to a small number of primordial ones,
in the same manner as the authors of the theory c't
transmutation of species would reduce all the species
to a few monads. If there were any truth ie the
Aryan theory thus advocated, it would, Mr. Crag'
turd says, of necessity follow that there would be.no
laeguage at all in Western Asia or Europe, ancieo
er modern, and that Sanskrit, Greek, Latin, will/
all the modern languages, would be reduced to the
rank of mere dialects, or subdivisions of one prima'
dial tongue—the airy and fabulous Aryan, the mere
creature of Teutonic imagination. On the WO',
point Mr. Crawfurd confessedly took only a pella..
tar view. He considered that man was marked by
a superiority of intellect, by having the power ea
speech and the capability of framing languages, an
that although monkeys have an cutward and evens
a structural resemblance to man beyond all otbst
animals, it was nothing more than a mere resell-1'
bland', and that why nature had bestowed on them
this similarity was a mystery beyond our under,'
standing. In the animated discussion which I°l-
lowed Sir C. Lyell, Sir R. Murchison, Protess°f
Busk, Mr. J. Wyatt of Bedford, Dr. Collier, Fru,:
fessor Macdonald, and Mr. Mackie took part.
was stated by Sir C. Ly ell that, by a letter he ha
received this day, he had heard that M. B.°
Perthes had found a LUMbM j iw in the flint bearisl
neds of Abbeville, but on the other hand it wes9sl
chat Mr. Prestwich had seen the specimen, and v°lo
not convinced of its genuineness. Nothing cereals
seemed to be known about this relic.

Le Constitutionnel, after commenting upon the
apparent diversity of opinion expressed by the

sympathy for the Poles has hardly been modified at
all by the issue of that document.

the inquiry for nearly all descriptions was restricted to im-
mediate wants, at previous rates.

Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request at late
cut rencies.

The supply of barley was very moderate, yet all qualities
sold slowly at about stationary prices.

The malt trade was very inactive, yet prices were sup-
ported.

There was an increased supply of oats on offer, and tho
trade was in a sluggish state on former terms
Beans were dull at late rates, but the market for peas
ruled steady.
In flour a limited business was transacted at previous
quotations.

The Price of Gold.

The quotationof gold at Paris is about per mine pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.221 per £1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
n arty 2-10tks er cent. dca er in London than in Paris.
I'Y advices frun Hamburg the price of gold is 4,4 per mark,
and the short excliamze on London is 13.51 per £1 sterliMZ.
standard gold at the English Mirt price is, therefore, ebout
6-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg
1:1ke course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is about 170 per cent., and the premium on
Sgoli is 61
im
per cent. At these rates there is a profit on the
portation
of gold from the United States.

WILLIAM SCOTT, THE JOCKEY.—In a capital
article on the late Sir Tltton Sykes, a Saturday
Reviewer tells the following anecdote :—Scott was to ride
Sir 1 atton's narnesakA for the St. Leger of 1846. An earl
who believed himself safe to win on lago, said to him.
" You won't win to-day, Bill." "You be d—d !" was the
too h4bitual rejoinder of the spoilt favourite of the turf.
" Doo.'t be rude, William," said Sir Tatton, "don't be rude,
and I will lead your horse back for you if you win." Scott
did win ; and Herring's picture of Sir Tatton performing
Lis promise is the chief memorial which most people pos-
sess of him. The story does not go on, as "good'' stories
ought to do, to say that Scott became a converted character,
and forswore swearing from that moment; but if anything
could have wrought the miracle in question, it would cer-
tainly have been accomplished then.

RUSSIA.

ADDRESS OF THE MUNICIPALITY TO
THE EMPEROR.

ST. PETERSBURG, APRIL 14 (Evening).

The Journal de St. Petersbourg of to-day pub-
lishes an address presented on Easter Day to the
Emperor by the mnnicipality of St. Petersburg.
Similarly to the address of the nobility, the docu-
ment expresses the devotion of the municipality to
the Sovereign, and its desire to promote by every
means in its power the integrity of the Empire.

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, APRIL 14,

The General Correspondenz of today says:—
" Preliminary negotiations are taking place be-
tween Prince Christian and the Bavarian Court,
which will form the basis of further negotiations
with the Protecting Powers."
A fresh attempt on the part of some Russian
Cossacks to violate the Austrian frontier has been
frustrated by Austrian Hussars.
Several of the Cossacks were taken prisoners.

ITALY.

TURIN, APRIL 14.

The Opinione of to-day publishes an article deny-
ing that the Government had demanded the removal
from the Canton of Ticino of the conspirators of the
Party of Action.

The Italian Ministry, in a note dated March 26,
merely informed the Federal Government of the
preparations that were being made by the Party of
Action. This measure had been adopted with a
view of warding off from the Swiss Government the
unpleasant complications which might have ensued
in the event of armed bodies from Swiss territory
invading the neighbouring country.
The same journal positively denies the statement
published by the Vienna Presse, that the Italian
Government had warned Austria against the at-
tempts which had been set on foot against theltalian
portion of the Tyrol.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

(REUTE R'S TELEGRAMS.)

THE POLISH INSURRECTION.
REJECTION OF THE AMNESTY BY THE

INSURGENTS.

THORN, APRIL 15.

Intelligence received here from all parts of the
seat of the insurrection shows that the amnesty has
produced a bad impression amongst the insurgeits.

The revolutionary Government has declared that
the insurgents will not lay down their arms until
they have obtained the independence of Polund.
They forbid the inhabitants to pay taxes to the
Russian Government, and order the Poles in the
Russian army to come over to the insurgent ranks.
The Governor of Gradno has reported to the
Russian Government that 4,000 peasants in his dis-
trict have expressed their intention to return to the
United Greek Church.
It is now stated that neither the Grand Duke
Constantine nor the" Marquis Wielopolski will leave
Warsaw.

SPAIN.
THE POSITION OF PARTIES,
MADRID, APRIL 14 (Evening).

In to day's sitting of the Congress, Senor Vaha-
monde, in reply to a question of Senor Gonzales
Bravo, declared that, the moderate section of the
Liberal union and the Progrebieta party being at
variance, they would not be able to form a
Ministry.

The present Ministry will not continue the policy
of the former Cabinet, but will act in accordance
with a policy of its own.

COMMENCEMENT OF EASTER TERN.

(This Day,)

This being the first day of Easter Term, the sittings of
the Superior Courts of Law were resumed. The judges,
on account of the recent domestic affliction of the Lord
Chancellor, did not breakfast with his lordship as usual,
but took their seats in their respective courts at the usual
hour.

COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before Sir J. Romilly.)
THE ROUPELL FORGERIES.-ELLICE V. ROUPELL.
_ . .

His Honour delivered judgment in this case, which was
argued before him previous to the recess. The suit is in-
stituted by the plaintiffs, the mortgagees in possession of
the Roupell estate, for the purpose of perpetuating the tes-
timony of certain witnesses affecting the title to the estate
in question, which was disputed on the ground of the
confession of Mr. William Roupell, the late member for
Lambeth; that the alleged deed of gift by his father of
the estate was a forgery, and under which he had raised
from the plaintiffs on mortgage on the security of the estate
the large sum of £150,000. The defendants had pleaded to
the bill that they had commenced proceedings in a court of
law, and were not bound to answer. He had, however, held
that the defendants were bound to answer. An answer was
filed, upon which the plaintiffs amended their bill, and
sought to make it not merely a simple technical bill to per-
petuate testimony, but aaded interrogatories, making it in
addition a bill of discovery, and the defendants pleaded that
they had sufficiently answered the plaintiff's bill and were
not bound to answer the interrogatories.
Exceptions overruled and disallowed.

QUEEN'S BENCH.
:Before the Lord Chief Justice and Justices Crompton,
Blackburn, and Mellon.)
NEW QUEEN'S COUNSEL.

Mr. Venables was called by the Lord Chief Justice
within the bar, her Moje ty having been pleased to appoint
him one of her counsel learned in the law.

Their lordships were occupied the early part of the day
in hearing the arguments in a case in which Mr. Lindsay,
the extensive shipowner, sought to recover the value of a
policy effected on the steam-ship Harbinger.
London, England, 1863-04-15

DEATH OF SIR G. C. LEWIS.

It is with great regret we have to announce the
death of Sir George Cornewall Lewis, which event
as generally unexpected as it is sad, took place on
Monday, at his seat at Harpton, Radnorshire.
The right hon. gentleman, who had not been in
very good health during the winter, had left Lon-
don for the Easter recess. A few days ago he ap-
pears to have caught a severe cold, to which a chill
and a bilious attack succeeded. Although so ill
as to be obliged to postpone his intended return to
town for the meeting of Parliament yesterday, we
believe that no cause of uneasiness presented itself
before Sunday, when a change for the worse took
place, and early yesterday the result was but too
surel7. apparent. His relatives in town were tele-
graphed for, but he died hours before they could
reach his bedside.

We extract from "The Men of the Time" the fol-
lowing brief biographical sketch of his life :
" Sir George Cornewall Lewis, Bart., was born in 1806,
and was the son of Sir Thomas Frankland Lewis. He was
educated at Eton and at Christ Church, Oxford, where be
was first class in classics and second in mathematics in 1828.
In 1831 he was called to the bar at the Middle Temple. He
was employed on the Commission of Inquiry into the relief of
the poor and into the state of the Church of Ireland, 1835,
and on the Commission of Inquiry into the affairs of Malta,
1836. On the resignation of his father in 1839, he was ap-
pointed a Poor-law Commissioner. He entered Parliament
in 1847 as member for Herefordshire, and was Secretary to
the Board of Control from November, 1847, to May, 1848 ;
when he was appointed Under-Secretary for the Home De-
pertinent. In July. 1850, he became one of the Secretaries
to the Treasury, which office he held until the resignation
of Lord John Russell's Ministry in Feb. 1852. He was an
unsuccessful candidate for Herefordshire, at the general elec-
tionut of 1852, and at Peterborough soon afterwards; but
the
upon the death of his father, in Feb., 1855, he obtaineeda
as
seat which the late baronet had occupied in Phaerdli t
wamorks on
member for the Radnor burghs. He has punbliAs
buse of Poll-
The Romance Languages,' ' On the U
tical Terms,' On Local Disturbances ansedgthde Irish` Church
Question,' On the Government of DependenciesOn the
Influence of Authority in Matters of d On
MethDds of Observation and Reasoning in Politics.' After
Professor Empson he was appointed editor of
thethe deathEcit of
Edinburgh
bu
rgh Review, which he resigned when he joined
the administration of Lord Palmerston. Upon the memo-
rable resignation of the Chancellorship of the Exchequer
by Mr. Gladstone, in February, 1855, Sir G, C. Lewis was
appointed to that important office."
To this account we have to add that on the for-
mation of the present Government in May, 1859,
Sir George Lewis was appointed to the office of
Home Secretary, which office he exchanged in July,
1861, on the resignation of office by Lord Herbert,
for the office of War Minister, which he held till hiN
death.

"The Academy of Sciences," says Le Pays,"has
three elections to make just now—to replace Messre.
the Count de Gasparin, Deprez, and Bravais."
Le Constitutionnel, after commenting upon the
apparent diversity of opinion expressed by the
London journals upon the subject of the Russian
amnesty to Poland, says that, in reality, English
sympathy for the Poles has hardly been modified at
all by the issue of that document.

RUSSIA.

ADDRESS OF THE MUNICIPALITY TO
THE EMPEROR.

ST. PETERSBURG, APRIL 14 (Evening).

The Journal de St. Petersbourg of to-day pub-
lishes an address presented on Easter Day to the
Emperor by the municipality of St. Petersburg.
Similarly to the address of the nobility, the docu-
ment expresses the devotion of the municipality to
the Sovereign, and its desire to promote by every
means in its power the integrity of the Empire.

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, APRIL 14.

The General Correspondenz of to-day says :
" Preliminary negotiations are taking place be.
tween Prince Christian and the Bavarian Court,
which will form the basis of further negotiations
with the Protecting Powers."
A fresh attempt on the part of some Russian
Cossacks to violate the Austrian frontier has been
frustrated by Austrian Hussars.

Several of the Cossacks were taken prisoners.

ITALY.

TURIN, APRIL 14.

The Opinions of to-day publishes an article deny-
ing that the Government had demanded the removal
from the Canton of Ticino of the conspirators of the
Party of Action.
The Italian Ministry, in a note dated March 26,
merely informed the Federal Government of the
preparations that were being made by the Party of
Action. This measure had been adopted with a
view of warding off from the Swiss Government the
unpleasant complications which might have ensued
in the event of armed bodies from Swiss territory
invading the neighbouring country.

The same journal positively denies the statement
published by the Vienna Presse, that the Italian
Government had warned Austria against the at-
tempts which had been set on foot against the Italian
portion of the Tyrol.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Kerr.)
KIDD V. HOMENVOOD.
This was an action to recover £23 14s. 10d. upon a prn-
roh-sory note, plaintiff being a very old, but also a very
sharp lady, and Mr. Buchanan appearing for defendant.
Plaintiff got into the box and produced a bundle of
papers, from which she drew three bills and held them up.
Mr. Buchanan—Ohl the only one we want is the one
you have sued upon.
Plaintiff—Very well, here it is.
Mr. Buchanan—Did you not lend defendant the money
to carry on a lawsuit ?
Plaintiff—l lent the money to him and to his wife be-
cause they wanted it. He was in the Bench for a twelve-
month. _ _

Mr. Buchanan—Ah 1 just so,. and you took him to a
great many lawyers and at last reached the famous Mr.
Cobbett. (Great laughter.)
Plaintiff—Well, I always understood that he was a very
clever man.
Mr. Buchanan—He was clever enough to take up your
case.

Plaintiff—Yes; and he was paid for it.
Mr. Buchanan—And, as I understand, as soon as the case
was brought into court it was pooh-poohed out of it ?
His Honour—l always thought Mr. Cobbett was a bar-
rister.

Mr. Pook (amicus curica)--I believe he was nothing when
on the bench.
Defendant was then called, and said that this loan was a
specula ion by the plaintiff, who was to benefit largely if
the lawsuit were suzce•sful. In fact she was to have two-
thirds of the profits. (Laughter )
His Honour—l shall decide that it does not come under
the kind of champerty or maintenance, for one poor neigh.
bour may help another, and therefore I shall give plaintiff
a verdict with costs.
Verdict for plaintiff.

The Price of Gold.

The quotation ot gold at Paris is about ii per mille pm., and
he short exchange on London Is 25.22 k per £1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, that gold isn
dai in Paris.
By arly 2-10tks 1 er cent.
dea.er in Lonadon 'aris.
By advices from Hamburg the price of g
and the short exchange on London is 13.51 1:e:/.£41psetr mark,
erling.
itandard gold at the English Mir't price is, therefore, About
6-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is about 170 per cent., and the premium on
gol i is 64 per cent. At these rates there is a profit on the
Importation of gold from the United States.

WILLIAM SCOTT, THE JOCKEY.—In a capital
article on the late Sir 'Fitton Sykes, a Saturday
Reviewer tells the following anecdote :—Scott was to ride
Sir atton's namesake f3r the St. Leger of 1846. An earl
who believed himself safe to win on lago, said to him.
"You won't win ro-day, Bill." " You be Ll—d I" was the
too h .bitual rejoinder of the spoilt favourite of the Wei'.
Dop't be rude, William," said Sir Tatton, " don't be rude,
and I will lead your horse back for you if you win." Scott
did win; and Herring's picture of Sir Tatton performing
his promise is the chief memorial which most people pos-
sess of him. The story does not go on, as "good" stories
ought to do, to say that Scott became a converted character,
and forswore swearing from that moment ; but if anything
could have wrought the miracle in question, it would cer-
tainly have b-en accomplished then.
A BAILIE PULLING A COUNCILLOR'S NOSE.—
The all-engrossing topic of conversation at Ruttie-
st), just now is a fracas which took place last Monday
between Bailie Duncan and Councillor Comrie, at a com-
mittee meeting. In the course of discussing some very
paltry matter, Mr. Comrie made use of language so offen-
sive to the bailie, that the latter, albeit the meekest of men,
pulled his fellow councillor's nose twice, in the presence of
five or six gentlemen, amidst confusion and laughter. Mr.
Cowrie is to seek redress in the law courts,- xo eh Brutish

COMMENCEMENT OF EASTER TERM.
(This Day,)

This being the first day of Easter Term, the sittings of
the Superior Courts of Law were resumed. The judges,
on account of the recent domestic effi:ction of the Lord
Chancellor, did not breakfast with his lordship as usual,
but took their seats in their respective courts at the usual
hour.

COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before Sir J. Romilly,)
THE ROUPELL FORGEEIES.-ELLICE V. ROUPELL.

His Honour delivered judgment in this case, which was
argued before him previous to the recess. The suit is in-
stituted by the plaintiffs, the mortgagees in possession of
the Roupell estate, for the purpose of perpetuating the tes-
timony of certain witnesses affecting the title to the estate
in question, which was disputed on the ground of the
confession of Mr. William Roupell, the late member for
Lambeth; that the alleged deed of gift by his father of
the estate was a forgery, and under which he had raised
from the plaintiffs on mortgage on the security of the estate
the large sum of £l,-.0,000. rho defendants had pleaded to
the bill that they had commenced proceedings in a court of
law, and were not bound to answer. He had, however, held
that the defendants were bound to answer. An answer was
filed, upon which the plaintiffs amended their bill, and
sought to mate it not merely a simple technical bill to per-
petuate testimony, but aeded interrogatories, making it in
addition a bill of discovery, and the defendants pleaded that
they had sufficiently answered the plaintiff's bill and were
not bound to answer the interrogatories.
Exceptions overruled and disallowed.

QUEEN'S BENCH.

Blackburn, and Mellon.)
NEW QUEEN'S COUNSEL.

the extensive shipowner, sought to recover the value of a
policy effected on the steam-ship Harbinger.

Liverpool Cotton Market—This Day.

(REUTER'S TELEGRAM.)
Very firm, prices tending upwards. Sales, 8,000
bales. Import, 7,000.

MARKETS—This Day.

MARK-LANE.

A limited supply of English wheat was received fresh up
to this morning's market. Selected parcels were in mode.
rate demand, at full prices; otherwise the trade ruled inac-
tive on former terms.

The supply of foreign wheat was moderately large, and
the inquiry for nearly all descriptions was restricted to im-
mediate wants, at previous rates.

Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request at late
cut rencies.

The supply of barley was very moderate, yet all qualities
sold slowly at about stationary prices.
The malt trade was very inactive, yet prices were sup-
ported.

There was an increased supply of oats on offer, and the
trade was in a sluggish state on former terms
Beans were dull at late rates, but the market for peas
ruled steady.

In flour a limited business was transacted at previous
quotations.
