cent, per annum, leaving £2,229 to be carried forward•
The reserve fund stands at £64,000.
It appears that some very valuable curiosities
have been forwarded from Rome for the Exhibition in
Londen. They are composed, of paintings, sculptures,
mosaics, bronzes, artificial pearls (of which Rome enjoys
the monopoly), marbles and minerals. The most remark-
able articles are three paintings—which are said to be real
chefs d'oeuvre—Etruscan vases from the manufactory of
Prinee Aldobrandini ; a marble crucifix, which if to be pre-
sented to Monsignor Grant, Roman Catholic Bishop of
Southwark ; a breviary, intended as a present from the
Pope to Cardinal Wiseman. The paper, the print, the en-
gravings, the binding, and the clasps are the work of the
best Roman artists,

The Queen of the Gipsies we found shrewd,
sensible, and good-humoured, and particularly proud of her
position. She spoke in the Scotch tongue, and a ready and
not ungraceful speech she has. She has an intealigent, well-
formed face, of a dark olive complexion—the true gipsy
olive, and her eyes are dark and sharp. the is of the full
ordinary height, and her gait, though her years are some-
where about fifty-five, is free and erect, and her feet and
ankles, like those of most gipsiest are particularly well
shaped. She has a family, and when we met with her she

A LONG TERM.—Easter Term will this Tear
embrace a period of 29 days, instead of 24, arising•kom the
circumstance of the feast of Easter falling late in the year'
Last year the term ended on the Bth of May, ancl the NOW
w
ing term (always commencing on the 15th of April) tenni;
nates on the 13th of May. The extra five, days are added
on account of the closing of the law offiee,s, from Thursday
next, for five days. The fact is of importance to be know*
as it seems to have escaped notice in some quarters.
'I HE SCOTCH BURGHS AND SCOTCH BILLS.—The
annual Convention of the Royal Burghs of Scotland was held.
at Edinburgh on Tuesday and Wednesday, the Lord Pro-
vost of Edinburgh presiding, About 50 burghs were repre-
sented. The various bills before Parliament affecting Scot-
land were taken into consideration. It was resolved by 27
to 15 to approve generally of the Publichouses Act Amend-
ment Bill, and to remit to the committee to consider the clauses
and such amendments as may be suggested, and to petition
Parliament. A motion to petition Parliament in favour of
the Lord Advocate's Education Bill for Scotland Was lost by
24 to 14, the majority supporting an amendment to the
effect that steps should be taken to oppose the passing of
the bill this session, on the ground that the interests in-

were too complicated to be satisfactorily adjusted
during the present session. Some members opposed the.
l
committee,
iPtßiecrimali yonbleu'the Police and improvement Bill was remitted to the
with power to petition in its favour, and secure
such additional clauses as may be thought desirable. It
was resolved to petition, as in former years, for the aboli-
tion of the duty on fire insurance. It was unanimously
agreed to contribute £5O from the funds of the Convention-
towards the Scottish memorial to the Prince Consort.
A NICER SORT OF BREAD.--Three-score-and-terio
it is said, are the years of a man ; but forty-and-two ap-
pear to be the years of a journeyman baker. At this
rate, the great master-baker is a sort of giant, who grinds;
his workman's bones to make him bread. According to
Miss Martineau, Stevens's bread-making machinery pro •
miser to put an end to this baker-grinding. Having Pointe'
out the advantages of the new mechanical contrivance
for economising labour in the manufacture of bread, Mies
Martineau writes as follows :—"Putting all these things
together, can there be a doubt that the journeymen bakers'
grievances are coming to an end by a better means than an
act of Parliament ? There will not be a speedy end, if an
end at all, to home-made bread, but the kneading will not-
long be done by the cook's stout arm." This is very wel
come intelligence. Eating bread of which the makivg
kills the journeyman baker, is, in a manner, eating the
journeyman Laker himself. This thought is calculated to
create a disrelish for dry bread; it not to induce us to
quarrel vk ith our bread and butter. Bread prepared by this
machinery will beeaten without
shudder; and e
n of the consideration that, if in the case'
different application of row-
of home-made bread kneading. is no longer done by the
cook's stout arm, neither in 'that of baker's bread can it
exerted on the dough by several • men'
journey
be performed by a
