The state of health of Baron Dedel, the Netherlands
Minister, has for some time past caused the most serious
apprehension to his numerous friends, both in Holland
and in this country, and leaves but little hope of
his ultimate recovery. The nature of the Baron's com-
plaint, which consists principally in a deranged circula-
tion of the blood, has exposed his Excellency to the
greatest suffering during its progress.

EXTRAORDINARY' CASE 01" POlSONlNG.—Yesterday, as
Mr. Clive was about to vacate the bench, Inspector Busain,
of the V division, brought into the Court, and placed in the
dock, Illary North, a sullen-looking girl, aged eighteen,
housemaid to Mr. Barker, coach proprietor, the charge, as
entered in the police-sheet, against the prisoner being that of
administering a quantity of vitriol to Mary Anne Barker,
aged four months, the infant daughter of Mr. Charles Barker,
Wandsworth, with intent to murder or do some grievoua
bodily harm to it.
Mrs. Mary Barker, the wife of Mr. Charles Barker, omnibus
proprietor, living in Nerth-street, Wandsworth, having been
sworn, said—The prisoner was in my service as a servant of
all work, I have a child, which will be four months old the
sth of this month, now lying ill.
Mr. CLIVE—When did you first observe anything mate-
rially the matter with your child ? Mrs. Barker—Last even-
ing, a few minutes to seven o'clock, the child was brought to
me by the prisoner foaming at the mouth. She was much
altered in appearance. She had been a little cross during the
day, and hadlnot slept much. She had been vaccinated re-
cently, and this might account for it. When the prisoner
came to rue, she said, " 0 dear me, ma'am, what is the matter
with baby ?" I did not make any reply, but immediately
sent her for Dr. Howell. The lips, tongue, and the whole
of the mouth were quite burnt. On the chin was a brown
spot, as if something had been spilt upon it. I had sent
the prisoner that morning for the ingredients iiecessary to

ORDNANCE SURVEY.

STATEMENT SHOWING THE EXACT ST ATE OF, AND THE
PROGRESS MADE IN THE SURVEY OF IRELAND UP TO
THE PRESENT TIME.

The Townland Survey of Ireland, on the scale of six
inches to one mile, is finished, and the maps of 31 counties
on that scale are published. The engraving of the county of
Kerry, which is the only unpublished county, is nearly com-
pleted, and the maps will be published in about three months.
Plans on a large scale have been completed for 126 of the
principal towns, and those of the city of Dublin are in pro-
gress of engraving.
The revision of the maps of the Northern Counties com-
menced in September 1844; 631 square miles are completed.
Contour Lines have been surveyed and laid down on the
six• inch plans of the counties of Kilkenny, Louth, and
1,107 square miles of Donegal.
Hill sketches for the one-inch map have been made for
13 counties, viz., Londonderry, A atrim, Tyrone, Donegal.
Fermanagh, Armagh, Down, Monaghan, Cavan, Leitrim,
Sligo, Mayo, and Roscommon, and for parts of Louth and
Galway.
A historical and statistical memoir of the parish of Tern-
plemore, including the city of Londonderry, was published in
1837. The continuation of this work has not been autho-
rised. The report of the Commissioners appointed to inquire
into the facts relating to the Ordnance memoir of Ireland,
contains, at page 5, a detailed return of the information col
lected under these heads, and new deposited in the Ordnance
Survey Office, Dublin.—(See Parliamentary Papers, S-ssion
1844, vol. 30.)
A geological memoir of the county of Londonderry, and
parts of Antrim and Tyrone, was published in 1P43. The
extensive collections of specimens of natural history in the
departments of geology, mineralogy, zoology, and botany,
made during the progress of the survey, have been trans-
ferred to .the Chief Commissioner of Woods and Forests, In
conformity with the order of the Master-General and Board
of Ordnance, dated 17th November, 1845.

an application to have a set of gold studs and a silver-Leaded
walking-stick, taken from the prisoner on his apprehmaion
by the policeman, now delivered up to him.
Mr. SECK.E3, in reply, said, that he saw no reason to
refuse the application if they did not relate to the charges
brought against him and were not purchased with part of
the money it was alleged he had obtained by means of the
forged cheques.
Mr. Roberta said he was instructed that the articles spe-
cified were presents from friends to the prisoner, and bad
no relation whatever to the alleged charges. On these grounds,
therefore, the gold studs and walking-stick were delivered
over by the policeman.

ALMANACK FOR THE MONTH.

This little miscellany of wit, and whim, and jest, is
favourably distinguished from its predecessors by a
paper entitled " Painters and the Premier," for the in-
troduction of which the apology by which it is prefaced
is not needed. The subject is the sad fate of poor
Haydon, and every artist would do well to ponder over
the following sensible observations to which his melan-
choly history has given rise :
" Haydon's history reads a terrible lesson to the aspirant
after honour as a historical painter on a large scale. It may
be that the decoration of the new Houses of Parliament is
but the dawn of a demand for nobler works than can be
easily accommodated in the private gallery, and which are
altogether excluded by size from the boudoir or the drawing-
room. If so, there may still be hope for the historical
painter. But the advice which we feel strongly urged by the
sad fate of R. B. Hayden to impress on the young at tist, is
to strive after the elements of high art which are to be
found in lowly, but not vulgar, subjects.
" That there is, for example, a field which nestles under
the shadow of the domestic affections, as truly now, as
when Raphael painted his Madonnas—types to all time of
maternal love and matronly purity—is proved by such pic-
tures as the " Mother and Child" of Leslie in this year's ex-
hibition. That the colourist need not work on the scale of
Titian's canvasses, if it needed proof, is evident from the
brilliant " Malready" which lights up the same walls. In
fact, we would recommend to the artist that attention to the
conditions of time and place which we fear poor Haydon not
only neglected, but systematically trampled under foot.
These conditions were scrupulously observed by the old
masters. It is in these conditions that we find explanations
of the strangest peculiarities of form in canvasses, and what
without them would be oddity in the arrangement of de-
signs.
"Just as much as Teniers differed from Titian, though on
different grounds, should an English artist of the nineteenth
century depart from the practice of an Italian religious
painter of the fourteenth, or a transcriber of Flemish in-
teriors of the seventeenth. It is the spirit of art which is im-
mortal. Its forms change like all other external manifesta-
tions. While we demand of the artist this study of his own
time, and its requirements, we demand nothing inconsistent
with the highest and purest devotion to art. It is his
bounden duty, as an interpreter of the beautiful, to seek for
it in the haunts where its existence is least suspected, and to
bring it forth in forms with which it is usually held to be in-
consistent or at least incongruous."

THE SPORTING MAGAZINE.

Honour to " Pyrrhus the First," the hero of this
year's Derby, whose likeness, by Hacker, from Her-
ring's picture, forms the frontispiece to the Sporting
Magazine. Bateman's " Homeward Bound," which ap-
pears as the companion plate, is excellently, and even
brilliantly illustrative of the subject. The most singular
innovations upon the usual literature of this monthly
are, first and foremost " The Life of a Foxhound," capi-
tally conceived by John Mills ; and " The Adventures
of a Hunter," from the random and rollicking Scribble.
It is strange, the notion never having entered into the
imagination of the sportsman before, and doubly strange
the two themes, so similar, appearing now together. It
looks like a preconcerted resolution to astonish the sub-
scribers. No matter, however, to what the circumstance
may be attributable, it is a capital idea, and promises
rare merriment, and no little initiation into the myste-
ries of the field and the kennel. " Sound and Unsound
Horses" is another paper well executed ; and, with a
great bulk of other contributions, renders the July
number better than usual.

consumed are 24,680 tons per annum.
On cross-examination by Mr. Sergeant WRANGIIAM, the
witness stated the average of the island was about 50,000
acres, which produced about 39,128 tons of exportable mat-
, ter. 4,966 of the acres of the isle are under potatoes. The
imports and exports of the isle are about 86,971 tons, and
of marsh land 87,285 tons, of which the exports are 46,800
tons.

The ebject of the Learned Sergeant was to show that no

JUNCTION.

Mr. Swannich, the engineer to this line, was examined. The
principal part to which the evidence was confined was the
junction proposed to be effected with the Manchester and
Leeds Railway. At this point of junction the gradient was
lin 75, and the curve 3 furlongs. He did not think there
would be any difficulty whatever in working the line with
perfect safety, and so as to afford accommodation to the
traffic OR the line.
Mr. Leather corroborated the evidence of Mr. Swannich.
There was a difference in favour of this line over that of the
opponents equal in tractive power to 31/2 miles of horizontal
distance. He had adopted Mr. G. Stephenson's estimate,
that 24 feet perpendicular required the same power to over-
come as •ne mile of horizontal length. He had taken the
sum of the summits upon both lines, and comparing them
together he had found this difference.

The supply of beasts was again moderately extensive. The
attendance of buyers being somewhat on the increase, the
Beef trade was firm, and previous rates were well supported.
We had on offer 80 Oxen and Cows from Holland, while the
number of foreign Sheep and Lambs embraced 340, and of
Calves 9 head. From Scotland 40 Scots came fresh to hand.
The number of Sheep was tolerably extensive, yet the Mutton
trade was very steady at extreme currencies. The same ob-
servation may be applied to Lambs, the general quality o
which was good. In Calves a large business was done at an
advance of 2d per 81bs. Pigs were dull at late rates. Mulch
Cowes were selling slowly at from 161 to 191 each. Suckling
Calves, 18s to 28s ; and quarter old Store Pigs, 16s to 19s
each. Beasts, ;23 ; Cows, 141; Sheep and Lambs, 11,250;
Calves, 482 ; and Pigs, 280.
NEVIGATEI AND LEADDNUALL.

We had a steady general demand, and prices were well
supported.

BOROUGH HOP MARKET.

From some parts of Kent our accounts respecting the bine
are not quite so favourable as last week; but from Sussex
and Farnham they are very cheering. Hence the demand
here is inactive, and prices are with difficulty supported.
The duty is backed as high as 140,0001. Sussex Pockets, 51
5s to 6/ 6s ; Weald of Kent, 5112 s to 61 103; Mid and East
Kent, 61 103 to 8/ Ws per cwt.

DESPERATE CRASS.—On Monday evening, police
officer George Foden, being on duty at the north end of
Birkenhead, was sent for to oppose the terrors of the law to
the half-drunken violence of a brute, who was cruelly beat-
ing his mother and sister. On the officer reaching the spot,
the ruffian turned round, struck the representative of her
Majesty a violent blow, and immediately took to his heels.
The officer, having formerly been a sort of champion in the
pedestrian world, immediately followed, and a splendid race
ensued. Neither the culprit nor the officer seemed to have
the best of it, when the former, after several artful dodges,
turned short into Corporation-road, and made a desperate
attempt to escape by leaping the immense excavation now
making in that street for the construction of a sewer. He
jumped short, but fell on his feet, and speedily scrambled
out ; his pursuer was not so fortunate, for having made the
longest leap and cleared the drain, he was unable to keep
his footing, and fell backwards. On the chase being re-
sumed, the ruffian had a few yards start; but finding that
his pursuer was yet on his trail', he took to the water, and
contrived to escape by going through Wallasey Pool, like a
genuine moss-trooper. This was too much for the courage
of the policeman, who, being a raw recruit, was afraid to
spoil his new suit, and the fellow made good his retreat.--
Liverpool Courier. _

Chevalier Bunsen on Thursday visited the New Zea-
land House, to inspect a sideboard which has been made
expressly by the command of the King of Prussia, from
the rare and beautiful woods imported from the colony
by Mr. Levein. His Excellency expressed his entire
satisfaction with the novel and remarkably fine effect
produced by the combination of these choice woods, and
too much praise cannot be bestowed upon Mr. Levein,
who has designed and executed this beautiful piece of
furniture, which the directors of the company kindly
permit the public to inspect at their offices.
