tells us, hopes that some persons in England might
have been induced to aid in the undertaking.
It would seem, however, although we are not ex-
pressly told so, that despairing of fulfilling the vision,
or of realising the hopes, which the sight of these
mysterious mounds had excited, he had determined
upon abandoning his project and returning home.
lie had reached as far as Constantinople on his way
back to England, when, in a happy moment, he ob-
tained a letter of introduction to Sir Stratford Can-
ning, her Majesty's Ambassador at the Sublime
Porte. It is not at all wonderful that so distinguished
a statesman at once perceived that no ordinary person
had been presented to his notice, or that he should
have invited him to prolong his stay in the East, and
discharge some extra duties of the embassy to which
he has now become officially attached. Neither is it
surprising, when the character of Sir Stratford is re-
membered, and the interest he takes in such re-
searches* as Dr. Layard had at heart is known, that,
in the autumn of 1845, he should have mentioned to
Dr. Layard his readiness to incur, for a limited period,
the expense of excavations in Assyria, in the hope
that, should success attend the attempt, means would
be found to carry it out on an adequate scale.
During Dr. Layard's stay in England he suffered
greatly from an aguish fever, which recurred
monthly, and which he had caught in the damp
chambers it was necessary he should inhabit at Nim-
roud. In spite, however, of this severe indisposition,
so inimical to literary or intellectual pursuits, he pre-
pared for the press, during his brief residence in this
country, the "Nineveh and its Remains," and " The
Monuments of Nineveh, from Drawings made on the
Spot ;" besides a volume of inscriptions in the cunei-
form character, for the British Museum, which we
trust will soon be published and submitted to the ex-
amination of the learned world.

Our readers know the already triumphant result of
Dr. Layard's enterprise and perseverance, which have
brought into the possession of this country treasures
beyond all price.

EFFECTS OF ELOQUENCE.—A country clergyman,
preaching a dull sermon, set all his congregation asleep, ex-
cept a poor fellow who was generally considered deficient in
intellect. At length the reverend orator, looking round, ex-
claimed, "What, all asleep but this poor idiot!" "Ay,"
quoth the fellow, " and if I had not been an idiot I should
leave gone to sleep too."

CONVICT GUARDS.

The following instructions have b!en issued to tl'e
staff•oft=icers of pensioners on this subject :
" War-office, Dec. 27, 1850.

" Sir,—l am directed to transmit the conditions of
service for convict guards proceeding to Australia and
Yan Diemen's Land in the ensuring year ; and to re-
quest that you will, immediately after your next pay-
ments, recommend for this service any number not
exceeding six of the most eligible of the pensioners in
your district who may wish to become candidates for
that duty ; attending carefully to the instructions
previously given you as to the qualifications required
for this duty and the mode of recommending them.
"Much inconvenience having ben experienced by
private applications and inquiries from pensioners to
whom the nature of the conditions do not appear to
have been sufficiently explained, lam directed to
request that you will be particularly careful to read
and explain these conditions to them at your pay-
ments, and also to hang up a copy in your office that
they may be perused by them at that time.
Should no candidates offer on this occasion you
can recommend the required number at any other
period in the course of the year, but you must in the
meantime report the circumstance of no candidates
being at present available.
" The candidates must distinctly understand that it

is quite uncertain when they will be wanted, as oppor-
tunities for forwarding them depend entirely on the
number of convicts sent out in the course of the year;
but none are likely to be required earlier than March
next, and the year will probably have passed before
the whole are called for.

" As the men appointed to this service will not re-
ceive enrolment money, they will not be required to
refund any portion of the bounty money which may
have been paid to them ; but it is expedient to avoid
enrolling them when you are in expectation of their
services being wanted for this purpose unless you
cannot make up the required number for your dis-
trict otherwise.

" Should any of these candidates die or remove to
another district, or alter their intention of going cut,
it is requested that you will immediately communi-
cate the circumstance to this office in order that the
necessary alteration may be made in the list.
" I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient ser-
vant, " L. SULIVAN."

lling Leave granted without extra Premium
Premium for Residence in Tropical Climates.
EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE.
Capital-500,0001.
(Incorporated under 7 and S Viet., cap. 110.)

The leading principles of this Office ar3 —Moderate and equitable
Rates or Premium for each class or risk—Annual division of Profits.

The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion
Premium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so
great, that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess
than calculation.

It has been found by experience, that the total annual losses of the
different Established Companies have not been proportionate to the
amount of annual Premiums received by each. _ . _

It is of the higheit importance, both to the Insured and Insurers,
that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the
true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu-
rance Company is established.
The true rate of Premium for Fire Insarance can only be ap-
proached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto
been sufficiently acted on, or systematically applied.
Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to
the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as
security against loss for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer
is largely interested in this Question, and will consult his interest by
supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica-
tion and Average, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk.
The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant analysis of its own
experience, from time to tire, adopt such rates of Premium as the
nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange-
ments as regards tariffs with other offices.
With this view an annual investigation will be made into each
class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fifty per cent. of the nett
excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have
been in force for three years.
Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Company upon
every description of Property on moderate terms.

VLARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE. - (FRIDAY.)
Although a slight increase has taken place in the r -
a 413 of English Wheat for cur market since Wecirir2F.-
437, the show of samples of that grain hero to-day was
:all, and of very middling quality. Very f,w buyers
Here in attendance, but fine parcels sold at prices about
m 40.1 to those of Monday last. The value of the
ddling and inferior kinds was almost nominal. Nearly
1000 quarters of Wheat, together with 10,311 sacks and
ur els of Flour, have come to hand lions abroad. In
t 4" articles exceedingly little was doing, but
F4e'lave no change to notice in the currencis.
dlrle Barley was held at late rates, but
blol3 samples were dull, and somewhat cheaper.

444 Beans, Peas, and Indian Corn without change.

GERMANY.

The Prussian corps, as well as the Austrian army,
are steadily progressing towards Holstein. Accord-
ing to the Ober Post-Ampts Zeitung, part of these
troops with their head-quarters arrived at Cassel on
the afternoon of the sth inst. They consisted of the
3d Jagers, one battalion of Wellington Infantry, and
one battery. The Prince of Thurn and Taxis had
gone out to meet these troops, and the Elector, on
horseback, awaited their coming on the Friedrichs
Platz. General Legeditsch was likewise greeted and
complimented by Count Leiningen and General
Peucker, the Federal Commissioners in Hesse.
From Hanover it is stated tbat the arrangements
for the victualling and shelter of the troops on their
march through that kingdom are now completed, and
that the number of troops which will march through
Hanover will amount to 20,000 men. The expenses
will amount to 150,000 thalers, which will be ad-
vanced by Hanover. . .

The Hamburger Nachrichten asserts most positively
that no communications whatever have taken place
between the Prussian Government and the Senate of
Hamburgh on the subject of the occupation of the city
by Prussian troops. That paper admits that a Prus-
sian corps is concentrating on the Mecklenburg fron•
tier for the purpose of supporting the Austrians in
case they were to meet with resistance in Holstein,
but it protests that, even in this extreme case, the
Prussian troops would enter the Duchies without
touching the Hamburgh territory.
From Munich we learn that orders have been given
to disband the second division of the 2d corps of the
Bavarian army.

In a proclamation which is dated the 3d inst., the
Standing Committee of the Diet of Wurtemberg pro-
tests against two orders in council as unconstitutional
and illegal. The orders which the Standing Com-
mittee impeaches are the new Wurtemburg press law
and a decree which authorises the levying and the
appropriation of the revenue. Referring to para-
graph 109 of 'the Charter of the Constitution, the
Standing Committee protests against imposing or levy-
ing any direct or indirect tax without the express
consent of the Estates.

SEASONABLE PRESENTS.
At this festive periol of tht year, when friends and lovers as-
semble at the social board, or join in the mazes of the dance, a more

requisition, namely—

ROWLANDS' MACASSAR OIL,
for creating and sustaining a luxuriant head of hair ;
ROWLANDS' KALYDOR,
for rendering the skin soft, fair, and blooming ; and
ROWLANDS' ODONTO, OR PEARL DENTIFRICE,

a peculiarly Elegant and Seasonable Present.

pany to aid, in like manner, in raising 70,000/. for
building the walls, not yet contracted for, around the
great float ; but all moneys received from the frontagers

ARKET NEWS.-jIIIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE. - (FRIDAY.)
Although a slight increase has taken place in the ar-
rivals of English Wheat for our market since Wednes-
day, the show of samples of that grain here to-day was
small, and of very middling quality. Very few buyers
were in attendance, but fine parcels sold at prices about
equal to those of Monday last. The value of the
-middling and inferior kinds was almost nominal. Nearly
7,000 quarters of Wheat, together with 10,311 sacks and
barrels of Flour, have come to hand from abroad. In
those articles exceedingly little was doing, but
we have no change to notice in the currencies.
Fine Barley was held at late rates, but
damp samples were dull, end somewhat cheaper.
Malt, though in moderate supply, met a very dull sale, at
barely last week's quotation,. The total supply of Oats
was not large, yet the Oat trade was in a very inactive
state. Beans, Peas, and Indian Corn without change.

Notwithstanding that our market to-day was ♦ery
scantily supplied with Beasts, the demand for that de-
scription of stock, owing, in a great measure, to the un-
favourable state of the weather fur slaughtering, ruled
excessively heavy, at almost nominal currencies. The
number of Sheep were small, nevertheless, the Mutton
trade was very dull, and Monday's quotations were with
difficulty supported. The extreme value of the best old
Downs was 4s 4d per Sibs. Calves were in moderate
supply, and heavy inquiry, at barely late rates. In Pigs,
next to nothing was doing. Milch Cows were offering
at from 141 to 18/ each, including their small Calf.

P. Blackwood, of the Victory; Lyster of the Penelope;
Harris, of the Prince Regent; and Mr. G. L. Greetham,
Deputy Judge Advocate of the Fleet, assembled this morn-
at nine o'clock on board the flag-ship Victory, in this har-
bour, to try Commander St. Ledger, the officers, and ship's
company of her Majesty's late steam-sloop Flamer, lost off
Munrovia, coast of Liberia, on the 22d of November.
We duly reported the particulars of the loss at the time
the Cylops arrived in England with the news ; it is therefore
unnecessary to recapitulate them, as they are fresh in the
memory of the service.
The first parties put upon their trial were— Mr. Reed,
the master, and the crew of the Flamer, who, after the
evidence had been given, were acquitted of all blame in
her loss.
Mr. Baker, mate of the Flamer, was then put upon his trial
for drunkenness, adjudged guilty of the offence, and sentenced
to be dismissed from her Majesty's service.
Commander St. Ledger, First-Lieut. Kelham, and Henry
Elam (a private marine, for shooting a Krooman), were then
put upon their trial ; but as this case was adjourned, after
hearing the prosecution, until to-morrow, we are prohibited
from going into it.

LONDON, SATURDAY, MARCH 22, 185

In the Rouse of Lords last night,
The County Courts Extension Bill was, on the notion o
Lord BROUGUANT„ read a second time.

In the Commons, after a short but very animated discus-
sion on the subject of the row "of the previous evening,
the debate on the motion for the second reading of the Eccle-
siastical Titles Assumption Bill was renewed.
Mr. BERNAL 05" R" oPPosed the Bill, as ho considered
it the first step towards reviving penal laws. The danger
to Protestantism arose more from the teachings of Oxford
than from Rome, and the proper method to obviate the
danger would be to reform the English Church and Univer-
sities.
lauded
Mr. BAILLIE CoCHRASS, having the Papal and
Austrian Governments, and denounced BiAzzini and GA-
VAZZI, declared that he should vote for the measure, but not
from feelings of intolerance.
Mr. FORTESCUE and Mr. GOOI.D opposed, and Mr. Cana,
supported, the Bill.
Mr. W. J. Fox opposed the Bill. With the organization of
an Established Church the State had a right to interfere, but
it had no right to interfere with the organization of a non-
Established Church.
Mr. WALPOLE considered the Bill defective, but would
nevertheless .support it, and he trusted that it would be put
in force as neon as it became law.
Mr.' ORMICK said a great mistake had been committed in
treating the Papal rescript as a legal document. The posi-
tion of the Roman Catholics was that of a dissenting body,
and the Bill wasa declaration of hostility without the means
of attack.
Sir RAIN RoofiLLY denied that this was a persecuting
measure, and suggested to the Irish Members that the pro-
banle.object of the present movement was to give the Roman
Catholics of England, whose bishops were nominated from
Rome, predominance over the Roman Catholics of Ireland,
whose bishops were in general elected.
On the motion of Mr. FAGAN the debate was adjourned to
Monday.
