It appears that some very, valuable curiositie
have been forwarded from Rome for the Exhibition ill
London. 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 rest
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 ell"
cravings, 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 intelligent, well-
formed face, of a dark olive complexion—the true gIPs..Y.
olive, and her eyes are dark and sharp. She 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 gipsies, are particularly well
shaped. She has a family, and when we met with her she

circumstance of the feast of Easter falling late in the year,
Last year the term ended on the Bth of May, and the enell'

nates on the 13th of May. The extra five days are add°
on account of the closing of the law offices, from Thursday
next, for five days. The fact is of importance to be known
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 repro"
sented. The various bills before Parliament affecting Scot'
land were taken into consideration. It was resolved by
to 15 to approve generally of the Publichouses Act Amend'
went Bill, and to remit to the committee to consider the clausee
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

Bill on the ground that it provided, not for a national err
tem, but for three different systems, besides reserving the
Privy Council grants for Episcopalians and Roman Cattle'
lice. The Police and Improvement Bill was remitted to the
committee, with power to petition in its favour, and secure'
such additional clauses as may be thought desirable.
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 Conventioe-
towards the Scottish memorial to the Prince Consort.
A NICER SORT OF BREAD.—Three-score-and-teigr
it is said, are the years of a man ; but forty-and-two sr
[.ear to be the years of a journeyman baker. At thie
rate, the great master-baker is a sort of giant, who grindS
his workman's bones to make him bread. According t°
Miss Martineau, Stevens's bread-making machinery pro
,
mises to put an end to this baker-grinding. Having pointed
out the advantages of the new mechanical contrivance
for economising labour in the manufacture of bread, Aliee
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 all
act of Parliament ? There will not be a speedy end, if &a
end at all, to home-made bread, but the kneading will not
long be done by the cook's stout arm." This is very we!'
come intelligence. Eating bread of which the making
kills the journeyman baker, is, in a.manner, eating the
journeyman baker himself. This thought is calculated to
create a disrelish for dry bread, if not to induce us to
quarrel with our bread and butker. Bread prepared by this
machinery will be eaten without a shudder; and the
neither in that of baker's bread can it
