to be respectively appropriated to the Prince Consort
and the Prince of Wales. At the first glance it presents
a perfect blaze of gold, but on a more minute inspection
the exquisite colouring here and there thrown into the
design softens its tone and produces an admirable re-
sult. In the canopy over the centre of the throne are
niches intended for the reception of statuettes of the
patron saints of the three kingdoms, and on the wall
immediately above appears Mr. Dyce's fresco painting
of the Baptism of King Ethelbert. It is well known
that Mr. Barry's original design for the House of Peers
included six arched compartments, three at either end
to be filled up by frescos. This
_arrangement will
ultimately be carried out, but at present Mr. Dyce is
the only artist who has completed his subject. Ano-
ther important and interesting historical feature in the
decoration of the House is the introduction of statues,
about half the size of life, of all those Barons who
were instrumental in exacting Magna Charta from
John. Pedestals, each surmounted by an elegant
canopy, are placed at stated intervals on either side
the House, immediately above the Peeresses' gallery, the
name of each Baron being beautifully emblazoned in
colours. The strangers' gallery faces the throne, and
is immediately above the Peers' entrance. The reporters'
gallery is immediately beneath the strangers' gal-
lery. Both these galleries are exceedingly capacious,
and admirably adapted for their respective purposes.
There are three rows of seats up each side of the
House, one raised above another. On the panellings
round the House are painted the armorial bearings of
all the noblemen who have held the office of Lord
Chancellor from the earliest date of that office, in the
reign of Edward 111., up to the present time—the list
closing with the arms of the present Lord Chancellor,
Lord Cottenharn. The floor of the House will be
covered with a carpet of very chaste design, the colour
being dark blue, with gold spots. The House is entered
by a pair of solid brass gates of the most exquisite
design and manufacture. The House is nearly twice
as large as the present House of Peers, and considerably
larger than the new House of Commons will be when
completed.
The Conde de Montemolin, attended by a numerous
suite, visited the House on Saturday. The Conde was
received and conducted over the works by the architect,
Mr. Barry, to whom he expressed his unqualified admi-
ration of the whole building. Among the nobility who
have honoured Mr. Barry with visits during the last few
days are the Duke and Duchess of St. Albans, the Mar-
quis and Marchioness of Ailesbury, the Marquis of
Lansdowne, the Countess of Jersey and Lady Cle-
mentine Villiers, Viscount Maidstone, Lord and Lady
Colchester, &c.
Although the general outline of the new Palace has
long been familiar to the great bulk of the population,
probably but few are acquainted with the precise ar-
rangements of the building—the locale occupied by the
House of Lords, House of Commons, &c. In a word,
then, the House of Lords may be described as situated
on the northern side of the building, about 200 yards
east of the Victoria Tower. On state occasions her
Majesty will alight under this arch, and pass up the
grand staircase into the gallery, hereafter to be devoted
to the reception of sculpture and other works of art.
From this gallery the Victoria Hall is entered, the
latter opening immediately into the House of Lords, by
doorways on either side of the throne. The long gal-
lery is in an unfinished state, and it will probably be
many months before it is completed. The only por-
tions of the Edifice approaching completion are the
House of Lords itself, the Victoria Hall and the Peers'
entrance hall, at the eastern extremity of the House, the
latter a most gorgeous and elaborately decorated spar`
went.—Post.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTE R SA LL'S.—TnuE SDAY.

With the exception of the Euclid colt and Sting, who
were in high favour for the Newmarket Handicap, very
few horses were in request, and in most cases the quo-
tations showed a decline ; this observation particularly
applies to Antler, Sir Tatton Sykes, Conyngham, The
Liberator, Pavilion, Christopher, and Black Dwarf,
against whom the offers considerably exceeded those re-
ported from Northampton. Business generally was very
flat.

of the Altborp Park Stakes, on which all bets await the re-
sult of the reference to the Jocky Club. Should that body
declare that the first was a false start, it is not unlikely that
the race will be declared void.

THE SALE OF TIM LIBRARY OF MR. WILKES.-

(the best days, as they were styled), the following are de-
serving of notice :—" Shakspeare's Tragedies, Comedies, and
Histories, published according to the true original copies, by

and E. Blunt, 1623. This copy, stated by judges to be the
most pure ever offered for sale, contains the original portrait
and the leaf of Ben Jonson's verses, and sold for the large
sum of 1551. The second edition, date 1632, fetched but 11
guineas; whilst the third edition, printed in 1664, sold for
'25/. 10. a. The disparity is accounted for by the greater por-
tion of the third edition being destroyed in the great fire of
London. The fourth edition, printed in 1685, sold for 8L ss.
Rommant de la Rose," printed upon vellum, by Verrard, at
Paris, in 1496, sold for 1011. ; " Recuyell of the Histories of

lated it was found to have one leaf in fac simile. It was
returned, and being put up again sold for 1051. The amount
realised by this sale is between 6,000/. and 7,000/.
JOSEPH ADY AGAIN.—The unenviable notoriety
attained by Mr. Joseph Ady, of London, by his attempts to
practise upon the credulity of parties residentin the country,
renders it almost a matter of supererogation to caution our
readers against his manceuvrea We may state, however,
that several parties in the Potteries have recently been
honoured with circulars (not pre-:paid) from Mr. Ady. With
the new year Joseph seems to have adopted a slightly im-
proved plan. His missives no longer bear the appearance of
a schoolboy's scrawl—they are lithographed, and look more
business-like. This week a neighbour received a " circular"
in the usual style. " Something to your advantage (about
100/. and upwards)" will be disclosed "on receipt of 20
shillings by post-office order." The subscriber," Joseph Ady,
accountant," states truly that he is personally known to
each of the Aldermen of London ;" and then unblushingly
adds:—" Should you find any difficulty in getting the
money, the Right Hon. Sir Peter Laurie, Deputy Lord
Mayor, will frank you from all expenses except postages,
which you must pay both ways." Joseph's intended
victim in the Potteries happened to be an artist
by profession and a humorist in disposition. His
ready pencil soon depicted on paper the figure
of a well-fed hound, leisurely holding between its paw a
piece of coin, at such a distance that a chained cur finds it
impossible to reach. From the mouth of the "jolly dog"
issued the words, " Don't you wish you may get it, Joe?"
Above the " sorry dog" was legibly written "Jee Ady."
In this speaking carricature Mr. Ady's correspondent care-
fully folded a farthing, and then sealed the enclosure in the
following letter :—" Dear sir,— Enclosed I hand you a so-
vereign. Please lick your lips over an extra bottle of claret,
and send the name of your father and mother in your next.
I am, dear sir, yours, HEMS'." Below was sketched the
and by the side appeared t hominous warning, Joseph

ROYAL ARTILLEItY.—:WOOWICII, MARCH 25.—
Four companies of the Royal Artillery assembled at eleven
o'clock to-day, on the guard-mounting parade in heavy

THE SIXTH DRAGOON GUARDS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sir,—Referring to the War-office Gazette of the sth inst..
I observe the following:--
" 6th Dragoon Guards—Veterinary-Surgeon George John-
ston has been permitted to resign his commission."
In order to inform my friends and the public of the cause
which led me to retire from the Army, I beg to state, that
being dissatisfied with the treatment I had from time to time
received, and in order that I might proceed to London, with.
a view, if possible, to effect an exchange, I made personal ap-
plication to my commanding officer, requesting him to pro-
cure for me a month's leave of absence ; this Colonel Jack- •
son ;distinctly refused, remarking "Your conduct of late
does not warrant any indulgence from me, and, let me tell
you, I don't want to interfere with your professional charac-
ter, but the two regiments (7th Hussars and 9th Lancers) in
which you served previously to coming to the Carabineers
had uo discipline' nor have you any military discipline.
Have you got the full dress uniform of the Regiment?" To
which I replied " No." " Then," said Colonel Jackson,
" you will appear in the full dress of the regiment in this
office within four days from this day." I answered " that I
could not, as it would be impossible to have it made in that
time." (The full dress would probably have cost 200) He
then remarked, " You have my order ; ' and 1 left the office,
thoroughly disgusted with the oppressive conduct shown to
me ; for I always acted in strict adherence to soy duty. But
finding all chance of effecting an exchange unavailing, I
went to my quarters and wrote a letter of resignation from
the [service, the acceptance of which was notified in the
Gazette above alluded to.
As there are many other grievances under which I labour,
and fearing from the length of my statement that it would
occupy a much greater space in your journal than could be
conveniently spared. I shall get it printed immediately, and
will be most happy to present a copy of it to any gentleman
who may wish to know the full particulars of my case.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your most obedient, humble servant, -
GEORGE JOHNSTON,
Late Veterinary-Surgeon 6th Dragoon Guards.

Tun BRIGADE OF GUARDS.—COURTS•MARTIAL.—
The findings, &c., of the following courts-martial having
been confirmed by the Commander-in-Chief, the battalions
to which they refer have been assembled to hear the minutes
read. A district court-martial was held on the 10th instant,
for the trial of private Robert Bray, of the 2d battalion Scots
Fusiliers, Lieutenant- Colonel Fitzroy Campbell was president
of the court. The prisoner was charged with having absented •
himself from tattoo at Brighton, on or about Feb. 22, and
with subsequent drunken and disorderly conduct. There
were no previous convictions against the prisoner, but his
general conduct was described as being irregular. He was
found guilty, and sentenced to two months imprisonment.
The finding was confirmed by the Commander-in-Chief, who,
however reduced the term of imprisonment to fourteen days.
Acting-Corporal Elplice, of the 3d battalion Grenadier
Guards, was tried on the 12th instant, at Winchester, Lieu-
nant-Colonel Hamilton was president of the court; the other
members being Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar, Lord Man-
deville, the Hon. Mr. West, Lieutenants Morant, Pole, and

tachment at Brighton, on the 28th of April, and with not
having returned until brought back by an escort. He was
also charged with making away with his necessaries. Sen-
tence, four months' imprisonment, with stoppages. Although
four previous convictions were proved against the prisoner,
the minutes described his general character as being good.
Private John Allen, of the same corps, was tried on the 10th
of March, also for desertion and making away with neces-
saries. Sentence, two months' imprisonment, with stop-
pages, and to be marked with the letter D. Lieutenant-

silk manufactures exported in 1841 was 736,455'..; of this
amount the aggregate official value of silk goods not of the
