PINE ARTS.

Photograph of Archbishop Manning.
BY JOHN AND CHARLES WATKINS.

A wonderfully successful photograph has just
been issued from the establishment of the Messrs.
John and Charles Watkins, of Parliament-street,
Westminster—a photographic likeness of the
Most Reverend Henry Edward Manning, D.D.,
formerly
." Archdeacon of Chichester," now.
" Archbishop of Westminster," and, as such,
head of the Roman Catholic Hierarchy in
England. The Messrs.., Watkins have before
now evidenced, again and again, the validity
of their right and title to the position they have
long occupied in the very front rank among the
most eminent photographers of the day. But, with
many of their previous successes still surviving
very vividly in our remembrance, we can-
not recall one so brilliant and, to our mind,
so conclusive, as an attestation of their skill and
mastery in the manipulation of this exquisite art,
as the one here afforded by the production of
this all but perfect vera effigies of the great Ca-
tholic Dignitary recently installed in the vacated
archiepiscopal chair of his Eminence Cardinal
Wiseman, and who has but just now, we believe,
returned from Rome, after having been invested
with the gallium by the hand of His Holiness.
The head of Archbishop Manning, moreover, is
one well worthy of having been accepted by
any photographer as a test of his capabili-
ties in the conquest of all the subtler
difficulties of his art. Phrenologically and phy-
siognomically it is a head in many ways very re-
markable. Ascetic, even macerated, in the general
expression of the countenance, the moral and in-
tellectual scope evidenced by the contour of the
skull, cannot by the most superficial observer but
be noticed as something very extraordinary. Those
acquainted with the original, speak of the expres-
sion of the face as very felicitously preserved and
perpetuated in this photograph. However this may
be, considering it ourselves simply as a photograph,
it may be pronounced at once a picture worthy of
the highest admiration.

ROWING AND SWIMMING.—Every boy should
know how to row and to swim. Without undervaluing
reading, writing, and the " ologies," I am convinced that
the proper scope of a wholsome education is to secure a
sound mind in a sound body. What God has so intimately
joined together cannot be separated without injury to both;
and one way to strengthen the body and develope the physi-
cal powers is to accustom young arms to ply the oars, wield
the cricket-bat, and buffet the water in swimming. These
exercises ought to be indulged in without interfering with
mental training.—Casses Paper.
THE ST. IVES PILCHARD FISHERY.--Three seines
were shot on Monday evening in St. Ives bay, belonging
respectively to the Cornwall, Wearne's, and Bolitho's com-
panies. The largest shoal is reckoned at 800 hogsheads,
the smallest at 400. Iminense quantities of fish must have
passed during the afternoon and evening, but owing to the
foulness of the water they could not be seen from the hills,
As it was, the seines were shot at a venture without signals
from the shore. Had the water been clear there is little
doubt that every concern would have made an abundant
season. On Tuesday morning a seine was shot at Gurnard's
Head, and enclosed a large shoal of 800 hogsheads. The
St. Ives drift boats also had large catches on Monday
night,'from 40,000 pilchards downwards. A few mackerel
were taken, which brought 38s. per hundred.— Western
Sews.

This was a writ of trial sent down from one of the supe-
rior courts, and the officer of the Lord Mayor's Court had
summoned, in accordance with the provisions of the act,
50 jurymen. At a quarter past ten about 20 were in at-
tendance, and at the half hour 12 were sworn, and his
Honour took his seat on the bench, but neither plaintiff,
defendant, nor counsel made any appearance.
His Honour remarked that perhaps the parties to the
suit thought that no court would sit to-day, and requested
the officer of the court to see if he could find the plaintiff's
attorney.

After some delay, the clerk to the plaintiff's attorney
came into court, and said the case was referred ; regretting
that ho had been unable to spare the jury the trouble of
attending.

His Honour observed that the whole machinery of the
law bad been put into force for this single case, and the fees
payable on it were only 45., out which 2s. went to the jury;
but, as the parties did not attend, the jury would not even
receive their miserable twopence each. (Laughter.) He
was sorry. they shOild have had to attend, and that the
court should have been opened upon such an accasion, but
the law was imperative. The jury would be discharged,
but they would not receive their twopences.
The case was then struck out.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

UNFORTUNATES AND THEIR LANDLADIES.—AmeIia
Clements was charged before Mr. Knox with wilfully
breaking a fanlight at 23, Noel-street, Soho, the property
of Susan Kelly.
The complainant said the prisoner came to her house
with another female last night, and, after abusing her and
stating that she had been the causo of a girl of 14 being
seduced, broke her fanlight.

In answer to Mr. Knox, the complainant said that it was
done through jealousy.

The prisoner said she went to the house to get a poor
young woman's box, which the complainant refused to
give up.

A witness was then called for the prisoner, who said that
she broke the window, but accidentally.
Rose Herbert, the young woman whose box was stated
to be detained by the complainant, said she was an unfor-
tunate and resided with the complainant. There were four
other females residing in the same house, all of whom led
a gay life. A few nights ago she (witness) went home
intoxicated, and the complainant locked her in the room all
night, and threw water on her, and beat her, and if she
had been taken ill sho would not have been able to have
got assistance. She had since left the complainant's house
and the complainant detained her box.

Sergeant Smith, 1 C, said that, on going to Noel-street,
he found the witness with an umbrella in her hand and not
the prisoner. The witness said she broke the window, but
the complainant gave the prisoner into custody.
Mr. Knox said that, practically speaking, the complain-
ant kept a brothel. If the young girl (Rose Herbert)
thought proper to take a summons out against the com-
plainant for assaulting her by beating and throwing water
over her 'she could do so ; and no doubt the complainant
would be made to smart for it. He should discharge the
prisoner, as there was no proof she broke the window, and
he would advise her to consult a solicitor.
