Cherbourg, Jersey,
Plymouth, Queenstown,

Queenstown, and leave there about the end of
the week for Kingstown. Sir Charles Wood, the First
~-' .ord, and family, left the Osborne on Sunday morning
i tor the Laken of Killarney, and was to rejoin the vessel
at Queenstown yesterday, where the Board intended to
give a dinner to the heads of departments &c. The
Osborne took her Majesty's ship auk() of Wellington,
130 (Rear-Admiral the Hon. Sir R. S. Dundas), and
Conqueror, 101, and a variety of gure'sbats with her
from Queenstown to Glengatsiff and tried rate of steam-
i ing ; Osborne took the least and kept it, the ConqUeror
i beating the Duke, after a four hours' trial, at about the
rate of a mile an hour. The squadron that accompanied
the Admiralty were at raichor at Berehaven on Sunday,
! and were to leave on IVlonday for Queenstown.
Yesterday afternoon the whole of the Royal Sappers

allies. Captainkbinson, immediately after the ship
hbaesdthoefenhis w-4y out his instructions by making the
to Portsmouth to land the troops who
.
been" committed to his care.. The greatest cordiality
prevailed on the passage home between the 82d Regi-
ment a'ad the first wing of the 50th, and the officers of
the Paoyal George. On their arrival at Portsmouth the
(,)vecers of the two regiments entertained the officers of
the Royal George at dinner at the Portland Hotel, where
great hilarity and good humour prevailed between the
officers of the two services. On the troops disembark-
ing their hands played their most favourite airs, and on
leaving the ship they gave three hearty cheers, which
were responded to by the officere, sailors, and marines
of the Royal George. To the credit of sailors and sol-
diers, in a ship filled' with troops, the greatest harmony
existed between them, and they each vied with the other
to make themselves and others happy as far as space
would allow them. The middle deck was appropriated
to the troops, the ship's company occupying the other
decks, the spacious wardroom giving dining accommo-
dation for 50 officers. The Royal George has steamed
5,600 miles on an average consumption of 36 tons of
coals per 24 hours, giving an average speed of 7'5 knots
per hour, her engines making 50 revolutions per minute,
with an average pressure of 151 b. on the square inch,
the engines working expansively. The present condi-
tion of the.machinery is such that she could, if re-
quired, be ready for sea in 24 hours.

Captain Glanville's company, Royal Artillery, under
command, pro. tem., of Major Burt, was yesterday en-
gaged at Sheerness at shell target practice. The target
was placed out towards the Nore-1,500 yards distant
—and such was the precision of firing, that every shell
burst immediately over the target, few of them either
varied to the right or left. Great praise is due to the
non-commissioned officers for their constant attention
in training the newly•raised men under their instruction.

(From the Melbourne Argus of May 24 )
There has been scarcely a breath stirring in our
political atmosphere since the date of our last sum-
mary. Her© and there a few candidates for the
new Parliament have straggled into the field, blow-
ing their individual trumpets, and setting forth in
their addresses the independence of their several
spirits, and the liberality of their several views.
But beyond this, and a little private canvassing,
the electioneering business has not yet gone, and
electioneering is the 'only important political busi-
ness at present on the tapes.
Among the most noticeable non-official candi-
dalei that have yet come forward is Mr, Gavan
Duffy, who, while the subscription to qualify him
is slowly filling up, has been addressing the elec-
tors of Warrnambool in a speech much less discreet
than those which he has hitherto made in Austra-
lia. He may be right in denouncing the past ex-
travagance and mismanagement of the Government,
and in ascribing to theSO causes much loss to our
reputation both in Europe and America ; but in
the language he uses upon this subject there is
more of the demagogue stump orator style than we
have previously &tented in him since 'his arrival.
There are in this country few social 'barriers to
prevent his genius from having full scope,' or par-
tially to justify- him in exciting a people that lie is
not permitted to guidd. Here he has ample oppor-
tunity to do his best, both as to word and action,
and he should disdain all clap-trap art—all pan-
dering to that too prevalent taste which relishes
'kee'n sarCasm and brilliantly-expressed censure
more than justly-balanced observation and discri-
minating criticisa4
-Madame Anna Bishop made her first appearance
at Coppin's Olympic on the evening of the 13th
inst., and achieved an unqualified success, which is
all ie more honourable to her talent from the fact
of her immediately succeeding so great a favourite
as Miss Hayes. The position obtained by Madame
Bishop in the public estimation is daily becoming
more firmly consolidated, and her style of ballad-
singing is such as to call forth more enthusiastic)
demonstrations of delight than have been wit-
nessed for some time past in a colonial theatre, On
Tuesday last her
.vocal entertainment concluded
with the spirit-stirring " Marseillaise ;" Madame
Bishop descending from the clouds as the GoddesS
of Liberty, and,grasping the tricoloured._flag. The
vocalist's animated action, aided possibly by the
old associations connected withthis revolutionary
hymn, inflamed the enthusiasm of the audience to
a very high pitch.. The "Bravos I" and cries of
"Encore !" swelled into a sort of vocal hurricane
for the few minutes that the curtain remained
down ; and when it rose again. and discovered the
vocalist garbed as .Britannia, with trident, and
shield emblazoned with the national cross of Eng-
land, the scene became quite exciting. Advancing
to, the footlights Madame's clear and flute-like
voice pealed out the National Anthem, the au-
dience rising en masse, and appearing to participate
in the animation of the singer. On the fall of the
curtain a storm of plaudits again broke forth, and
on Madame Bishop's appearing before the curtain
the whole house rose at her, hats and handker-
chiefs were waved, and the hurrahs of the excited
audience offered the strongest possible testimony
to the increasing popularity of the vocalist.
• Mr. Brooke is fulfilling a starring engagement
at Sandhurst and Castlemaine, accompanied by Mr.
and Mrs. Heir, and the critical notices which ap-
pear in the various local journals, while they testify
to this versatile actor's power and popularity, dis-
play on the part of the conductors of the provincial
press such au amount of acumen and ability as re-
flect great credit on colonial jovnalism.
GOLD.—The last four weeks' receipts by the
several escorts exhibit a considerable falling•off ;
but there is no doubt that in consequence of the
Complratively low price which has prevailed of late
—31.-16 s. 6d.—there is an accumulation at the
several camps. The accounts were as follows :

Yesterday Mr. WAIeY, coroner for West MiddleseX,
accompanied by his deputy, Mr. Brent, proceeded with
the adjourned inquiry at the Mitre Hotel, Hampton
Court, touching the death of a man who, since the pre-
vious sitting of the jury; had been. identified as Lewis
Soloinons, lately returned from A ustralia, aged 34. (The
circumstances attending the discovery of deceased's body
in. the river Thainei haVe already appeared in the Sun )
Mr. Joseph Arnold, residing at NO. 2, Henry-street,
Mandford-square, an upholsterer, identified the deceas(d,
whom he last saw alive on the evening. of Thursday, the
24th ult,. Deceased had been boarding and lodging with
him since his return from 'Australia. Deceased married
witness's niece. The deceased, since his return, appeared
in a distressed and excited state of spind, and was conti-
nually drinking brandy. However, on no occasion d.d he
hear deceased threaten to destrey.himself.' On one occa-
§ion deceased wished himself out of the world. Witness
spoke calmly to him, and this impression was eventually
wholly removed from his mind. Deceased was in the
habit of going out as he did on the last occasion, without
his waistcoat and Watch. Witness here handed in a
letter which was addressed to a person at Bendigoi Aus-
tralia, and which deceased had left with the witness's
wife to be forwarded by-an early mail. In it deceased
expressed a wish to, his friend to secure some money he
had left in Australia for his children, and send it over to
witness, whom he left as their gurdian. He spoke in the!
letter of his wife as " a wretc__,l3.;a sa,v)-1144.0,..ga1i0504.pve..
asso_suore ni-histt n ernisyralei-riarl been stated of her was
Correct, and at the same time expressed his inteution of
again shortly quitting 4ngland for Australia.
Mrs. Anne Arnold, wife of the last witness, corrobo-
rated his evidence, and added that, when the deceased
went out after lunch she asked him where he was going,
and how long he would be gone. He replied, as he usu-
ally did,, that he did not know ; but he expressed his in-
tention of being in, if not to dinner, before tea. Witness
had never seen any dagger, pistol, or poison, in the de-
ceased's possession, rted she never heard him threaten to
commit suicide.
Mr. Robert Jefferies, fruiterer, &c., of 32, Sherberne-
street, Blandford-square, proved speaking to the de.
ceased after his quitting home on the day in question:
Se called at witness's shop, and on deceased's invitation
they went out and had some brandy. To pay for the
refreshment the deceased took a small canvas bag out of
his pocket, containing, witness should think, from 14 to
15 sovereigns, and got change for half a sovereign. On
taking leave the deceased said most poSitively that he
would return early in the eveniag and have a smoke
with witness. He did, not say where he was going, and
he appeared in an exceedingly composed state of mind.
Witness did not see any weapon in:his possession at the
time.

A felt wide awake cap was here produced, which In-
spector Rapsey stated was found near the river,. but it
was not proved to be deceased's, which was still missing,
Louisa Solomons, a morose-looking person, was next
examined--She stated that she resided at 14, Essex-
street, Commerciahroad, and was the deceased'e Widow.
She saw the deceased at her house ',on the 18th ult.,
when leaving he said she should see him n a few
days again: He said he was going to her aunt's resi-
dence iu Henry-street, Blandford-square. On parting
with her she observed he had some sovereigns—four or
five—and some silver in,his possession. Generally he
was a k ober man, but eince he went abroad she could
prove that he bad become a great drunkard. When he
first arrived in England he threateneoo destroy him-
self, 'but he banished that idea altogetheiefrom his mind,
and at length became very composed, aO'she congratu-
lated hirh on his being able to go and Noy himself at
Southampton, as he did for a day on -the 18th. She
saw a pistol in his possession. She expressed her sur-
prise at his carrying 80 much money, as he might be
murdered or fobbed ; but he replied no one would harm
him. ''He also took some documents, which she consi••
dered were Australian shares, and the right to some lande I
proporty in that country, out of his pocket, and observed
that neither-she nor the children should ever want,
He said he had provided for her and her children..
Mr. Abraham Davis, carrying on a china and glass
' business at 103, Tottenham-court-road, was then sworn,
and he depoSed that'the deceased was his brother-in-law.
The last time he saw him alive was on the 10th of June,
1853, when he went out to Australia with his (witness's)
son from Gravesend. Ho said the deceased acted as his
agent and his son's guardian, the latter 'being then 17
years of age. Witness paid 1761. for their paisage money,
and at the same time sent over stocks to the value Of
1,0001. for them to trade with. Before leaving witness
had arranged to allOw the d,ceased's wife, for the sup-
port of herself and family, 255. a week until his return.
However, no sthner had deceased left than a man name-d
Grey visited leis wife at the.-plaßt~resa.v.ritno.tirtiad
leftlitt-ie'-'sexpeitetente in Union•streit; Bishopsgate-
street. She at first introduced Grey as her busband's
friend, but froth what he witnessed he at le gth, ae her
guardian during the deceased's absence, forbade Grey
entering the house.
,Upon this she flew into the most
violent passioh, and would have stabbed him with a
carving knife only for the interference of his mother-in•
law, and his, protecting himself with a chair. At length
her conduct became from time to time so violent that he
could do. nothing more with her, and she left her home
to live with Grey, who was a married man with a family,
The witness having deposed to the misconduct of ttre
deceaSed in Austialia, by which he (witneec) had been
driven to bankruptcy, proceeded to state that in: conse-
quence of the continued disgraceful proceedings of de-
ceaSed's wife witness wrote to the deceased, informing
him of the whole circumstance, and begging him to send
home no more money to his wife. Upon this he received
the letter produced from the &Ceased, in which, with
the most dreadful ewhe, 'he threatened to take immedi-
ate vengeance on 'him for the false statements, made
against his "dear Le eis'a." (the letter %I.ls read, and
created the utmost horror in the court, the language
tised'beieg of the most t?rrible character.) In conclu-
tion; the witness said that fortunately the deceased did
not call updn him upon first landing in England.
The Cormier aeked the witness if he could throw any
light upon the deceased's death, The unfortunate marl
hail been found with a feielitful wound in his side, and
they wanted to learn under what' circumstances the viti-
lence took place.
The witness replied that he could . not enligten the
jury on this seihject.
The Coroner said that the witness might congratulate
himself on having a roost narrow escape of being mur-
dered by the deceaSed,, and the witness replied he 'felt
perfectly the perilous position he had been placed in.'
The (i.oceased's widow was ordered to be in court dur-
ing the Witness's examination, and she heard the whole
1.10M0.7ed.
Hannah &Townie; a Widow, and deceased's sisterdn-
law, residing at 16, Red Lion-etreet, Holborn, said that
the deceased called upon her shortly after his arrival
in
'Eng!and, in company with 'Uri. Grey, wife of the man.
who was living with his wife, He appeared much affected
on hearing of the death of his brother, and wept bitterly
on acceent of his wife. Mrs. Grey gave her the dagger
produced (a kind of bowie knife, which she had taken
'from deceased, observing that he had brought it to Eng-.
land for au ornament. Mrs. Grey also said he had e
pistol in his possession which she should get from him.
The dagger had remained in witness's possession ever
since.

NEW SOUTH WALES.
SYDNEY, May 20.—The operations of the Sydney
lifint still progress, and the most s linguine anticipa-
tions of its promoters have been realised. It is
rather singular,..finweverr that, .ut>twithstandiurs it
hasleen now.in existence for twelve months, the
Legislature of Victoria and' the other adjoining
colonies still refuse to acknowledge our sovereign
as a legal tender. In the former place a duty is
not only charged on the export of gold dust at the
rate of 2s. 61. per ounce, but when it returns
coined by the Sydney Mint, it is also liable to an,
import duty of 2s. 6d. per ounce. This -double
taxation, which has the appearance of a prohibi-
tion, has of course 'prevented a considerable quan-
tity of gold dust being sent from that colony to our
Mint for the purpose of coinage. The Sydney
Mint was opened on the 14th of May, 1855, but
did not commence issuing coin until the first week
in June. The gold coin issued from that period
to the end of December, 1855, in sovereigns and
half-sovereigns, amounted to 512,5001., and the
revenue realised • was 5,4071. The total quantity
of gold dust received during the present year is
90,202 ozs., and the amount of coin issued during
the same period is 644,5001. To this add 512,5001.,
.the amount of coin issued by the Mint from the
14th of May, 1855, to the end of December, 1855,
and we, find that during the first year of the Mint's
existence no less a sum than 1,157,0001. in coin has
been circulated by the-Sydney branch of the Royal
Mint. The amount of revenue that has been rea-
lised during the year would, at 1 per cent., give
11,5701.
The Sydney and Parrainatta Railway has 3 In-
tinued. to give.uu bounded satisfaction to the public
ever since its •opening on the 26th of September
last. Ou Wednesday, the 14th inst., the Itailtivay
Commissioners tested the second line by running a
ballast train over it the whole length, from Sydney
to Parramati a. • The entire weight of the train was
about 1.61 tona, and the rate of speed attained 30
miles an hour. •The commissioners expressed
themselves satisfied with the result of their
.
inspection. The, progress of the, works on the
Liverpool 'extension line has been
:checked consi-
derably by tho ).ate unfavourable weather, but at
the present moment they are going on very suc-
cessfully. The earthworks are nearly completed,
and. the bridges are in a very forward state. The
permanent way is not so far advanced, owing to
there having been some little delay, occasioned by
the non-arrival of supplies of rails from England.
The Carnpbelitown extension line is at present
being surveyed, and will be commenced so soon as
the Legislature shall have sanctioned the estimated
outlay. With regard to the proposed line to
Windsor, no steps, we believe, have as yet been
taken, but it is not improbable that it will ho
commenced about the same time as the Campbell-
town'olle.

GOLD IN^ WESTERN AUSTRALIA.
The Gazette, of the "25th April, 'alluding to the
prospecting for gold, which it seems has lacen car-
ried on for some time in certain parts of 'Western
Australia, saYs :—Public interest during tfie•past
week has been entirely centred in canvassing the
probability of " gold being discovered in paying
quantities, which has been greatly increased by the
finding by Alt. H. Davi, of the Canning," of a beau-
tiful specimen of auriferous quart; somewhere near
Kelmscott, and whielt he, brought to Perth on Sa-
turday last. It is altogether different from' that
brought in by Chipper, -and we hear exactly re—
sembles that found in Victoria ; it is very rich in
appearance,. and is said to be plentiful, but the
exact locality. Mr. Davis very properly declines
pointing out until after the sowing season.. As.
might have been expected, this second discovery,.
and at a place so near Berth and. Freemantle has
caused a greater 'degree of interest than before
existed ; but still there appears.to be no great ex-,
citement or eagerness upon the part of the public.
to visit or prospect the locality, although no doubt
is entertained as to the fact being as Mr. Davis has
reported. No one. appears impatient to have the
value of the late discovery tested, and among even
the returned diggers
.from Victoria tiro only have
gone out who proceeded with Chipper on Saturday.
last. We hope this moderation on the part of the
people will continue, and that the wise resolution
of Mr. Davis will be acquiesced in and imitated by
all.

REVIEW OF THE ARTILLERY BY THE
COMMANDER IN-CI3IEF.
WOOLIVICII, WEDNESDAY.
His Royal Highneis the Duke of •Carabriege, Com-
naandinss-in-Chief, arrived at the garrisoh this day, at
half-past one o'clock, and was received by the comman-
dant Major-General Sir William. Fen wick Williams,
and a brilliant staff of officers, amongst whom we ob-
served Colonel Teesdale, General Sir Hew Ross, General
Cator, Colonel Anderson (commanding' the field haL
teries), Lieut.•Colonet Bingham, Coterie! Palliser, Bei-
gacle•Major Sbaw, &c. ..
The whole of the troops in garrison assembled in
review order on the common, the gr:mnd bc.:i!g kept by
the Royal Marines and a 'strong body of ths R division
of police. The number of spec.ators was very limited ;
but the evolutions of the troops were those of a grand
field-day, and did not terminate until half-past five
o'clock.
• Precisely at two o'cloCk his It pt Highness the
Commander-in-Chief, Lord Hardinge, and the comnian •
dant and staff, proceeded to inspect the Foot Artillery,
and subsequently returned to the flag-stair, the various
companies marching past to the tones of "See, the
Conquering Hero," alternately with " Home, Sweet
Home.",
The field batteries were next inspected ; these were
drawn up in continuous columns, the guns in front and
the ammunition waggons in the rear. Most of the guns
were O-pounders, but there were four batteries of 18-
pounders and a howitzer battery of 32-pounders.
After the inspection his Royal Highness and staff
again took up a position at the flag-staff, near the Royal-
Military Academy, and the field batteries marched past
at slow time in columns of six guns,abreast ; two of the
batteries were drawn by-Spanish mules, and the extra—
ordinary activity of these animals was the subject of
general remark. Not the least attractive part of the
scene was the appearance between the battery waggons of the pet dromedary, led by a gunner, and a small Rus-
sian donkey, richly ornamented with sashes. After the
march at slow time, the batteries described the circuit
of the common, and went a second time past the flag-
staff at full gallop. The scene was most imposing, but,
unfortunately, one'of the drivers was thrown, and
sus-
tained such severe injuries that bis life is despaired of.
After performing other evolutions the batteries formed
into line en the brow of the kill skirting the Dover-road,
and on other portions of the outskirts of the common,
and a
an hourmost incessant firing kpt more
up for ore than
was e.
The finale of the proceedings was the inspection of the
Royal Horse Artillery. These fine' troops dashed past
the flag-staff at full gallop, and presented a most inc
posing appearance.
At the conclusion of the review his Royal Highness,
accompanied by the commandant' and staff, proceeded
across the common to the south-west end, occupied by
the tents, and here were drawn up a large number of
non-commissioned officers and men recently returned
from the Crimea, and who did not form a portion of the
troops previously reviewed. His Royal Highness, with
the utmost condescension, put various questions to the
men, and inspected the huts. The party then left

MELBOURNE WHOLESALE PRICES
CURRENT.

Argus-ollice, Friday Evening, May 23.
The present week, like its predecessor, has been
an extraordinarily .dull one. .The arrivals. have
been few and the cargoes not unsuited to the wants
of the market ;
.but the condition of the roads and.
'the consequent rise in cartage have kept all coun-
try dealers back. We give a few details,for the in-
formation of shippers to this market.
Breadstuffs—There have been full importations
of flour from all sources since our last summary,-
but prices have remained stationary.. At present
prices are looking downwards. In Adelaide and
in Tasmania recent sales' have been made at loWer
rate', and shipments of the new crop are exoeCted
daily, and Adelaide, has been sold as low as 231.
Sales have been made at Haxall and Gallego at 555,
and we believe this is the 'extreme limit that can
be got for any,quantity. Grinding samples Of wheat
are sold at 9s. per bushel, and Adelaide seed wheat
at 13s. per bushel. Oats continue dull. The
crops in the neighbourhood of the diggings appear
to be nearly sufficient for the consumption, and we
think wo shall next year be nearly independent of
foreign supplies. Eren now, adding carriage, oats
are cheaper at the gold
.fields than in Melbourne,
where they are sold at a loss to every importer.
Liquors—Brandy has been freely
offered, and
prices 'have given way. Martell's pale and United
Vineyard, in case, aro -scarce, and much wanted.
Rum is freely offered. Old tom for immediate
delivery realises Bs. Whisky has come in in large
'quantities, but there is a. good demand for imme-
diate delivery. Port wine .is in good demand :
light wines are out of season. Sales are made of
B.tss's, Worthington'and Robinson, and Alisopp's
ale, at 10/. to 101. ss. The Burton Brewery Com-.
pany's ale is becoming known in the market. All-
sopp's ale is More' eagerly' bought this year, the
quality being excellent. Bass's has suffered in re-
putation froth quantities of a lower quality not
numbered, but known as N 0.4, having been forced
on the market.

Sarah Grey, 10, Victoria-road, Borough, gave similar
evidence. The witness added that her husband had been
all through and was at present living with the deceased's
wife. For the last two weekste had refused to allow
witness any maintenance for herself and five children,
her husbaad's earnings being 255. a week.
In cross examination the witness said sire had no SUS-
,picien against any one on account of the deceased's
death, but before that event her husband told several
persons that Mrs: 'Solomons might consider herself a
widow, as he intended to marry her. The deceased
allowed her to take the pistol and dagger produced
from him, as he said she was as much the injured per-
son as hireself.
,Sho heard her husband say that the de-
ceased should never take Mrs. Solomons to Australia as
long as ho bad an arm on his body. A neighbour replied
that he should go and live with his wife again, and de-,
ceased could take his own away, when he said, " He
never shall take her away."
Frances Tyler having deposed to deceased's despond=
ing, and at tithes excited state after his return from Aus-
tralia, and to his admission that he bad fully intended
to kill witness and her husband, had his (deceased's)
wife been innocent, said that Grey called on witness,
and in his wife's preebnce said, "Louisa (meaeing the
deceased's wife) may consider herself a widow, as no
other man shall have her in' this world but me." (Sen-
sation.) Mr. Davis also called at witness's house with
two pistols in his' possession, to see the deceased. The
pistols were not loaded, and he said be only brought
them to frighten thedecemed, for although he had ruined
him he did not care if he would tell him what beceme of
his son in Australia. The deceased was not it'home at
the time, so that Mr. Davis did not see him. After a
law days, the deceased became more collectel, but still
from the circumstance preying on his mind .witness'did
not
,consider him right in his mind.
Several other witnesses were examined, who proved
that the deceased, on his arrival in England, was in a
very excited state' on account of the conduct of hie wife,
but after calm reflection he appeared to beCorne quite
composed, and resolved to return to Australia again,
for which purpose be went to take a passage in a vessel
proCeeding to that colony, where it seems lie'poseessed
several shares in the gold mines at Bendigo, as also a
quantity of land.
The court was now cleared of strangers, and the man
Grey was questioned by the jury- After a few minutes
further deliberation with closed doors the inquiry, was
further adjourned to enable tho police to mare more
searching inquiries respecting the whole transaction.
While the jury were itt deliberation a most painful
scene took place outside the court, through the lifeless
man's sister being seized with several severe epileptic
fits, so acutely did she feel her brother's distressing'end.
The supposition appeared' to be that the deceased, if
murdered, was assassinated iu London, and then con-
veyed up the river to the spot where his body was dis-
covered.

We believe it is now pretty certain (says the
summary of the Sydney Morning Jerald) that the
Hunter River Railway will be opened in October
next, or about the same time as the Liverpool one.
The line it formed on the double rail prindiple,
and, like the Sydney one, is thoroughly substantial.
At present there is some doubt as to the 'most
eligible ,localities for the termini-whether at One
end the_terminus shall be at East or West *Mait-
land, and whether at the other it' shall go up to
the wharf at Newcastle, or, stop at Houevsuclile
Point, a difference of a mile. A survey is at p, e
sent going on, and when that is completed it will
be for the commissioners to decide•as to' the most
eligible points.

Although the new Parliament will meet on
Thursday next, we believe it is not the desire at
present either of a majority of hon. members or of
the Government to proceed with the business of
the session, in consequence mainly of the requisite
.accommodation
.not having yet been provided.
It is therefore 'understood that the Parliament
will sit for two or three days, in order to give
time for, the election of a Speaker, and probably
a 'chairman of committees. It will then adjourn
very likely for a menth,,by which time the tempo-
rary iron building, now in course of erection at the
southern end of the old Council Chamber for the
acoommodation of the Upper House, will be com-
pleted.-
' The money market during the last six weeks has
been much easier, and large sums have lately been
lent on mortgage at from 6 to 8 per cont. interest
The rate of exchange on London continues at 3
per cent. prem., and diScounts at 6,7, and )8 per
cent., according to currency. There has been a
fair amount of business transacted, both by auction

Groceiies:—This trade' has been and is very 'dull,
and many retailers, both in town and the country,
have retired under the pressure of expenses.
Provisions.—Provisions generally are lower, the

OPENING OF THE NEW IRON B RIDGE
AT ROCHESTE.R.

ROCHESTER, WEDNFSDAY.
The large and massive iron bridge over the Medway,
at this city, was formally opened to the public this
afternoon by the Bridge Wardens, the Earl of Romney
and E. Twopenny, Eeq.
The bridge, vdeich is built of iron on granite piers,
was commenced in 1850, the Srst pile having been
driven on the 3d of April in that year. The engineer
is Sir W. Cubitt, and the contractors Messrs. Fox and
Henderson. The foundations censist of iron cylinders,
each nine feet 'in length, with a diameter of seven
feet, each weighing abut five tons. These cylinders
were seek to the required depth by means of great pres-
sure, the water at the same time being kept out by com-
,pressifd air. In many instances these cylinders had to
be sunk forty feet below the bed of the river, until they
'reached the hard chalk, which afforded a firm basis.
Their were then filled with concrete. Tne series of cy-
lftnieis are bolted together, and form two rows of six in
each row for each pier, excepting that on tho Strood
side, where there are 30 cylinders. The courses of ma-
rstirry commence at low water mark, and are carried
upwards to 18 feet.
There are three arches to the brielge, the centre arch
having a span of 170 feet, and each of the side arches
140 feet. The width of the bridge, from parapet to
itrapet, is 40 feet, t.nd including the approaches on the
btrood side its extreme length is 1,200 feet.
Tu consequence of the veto of the Admiralty it was
neces.ary to construct a portion of the bridge as a swing,
and this is looked upon a 3 a triumph of engineering skill.
This swing bridge gives a roadway of the same width as
the rest of the bridge, and is 109 feet in length ; the
weight to ba moved is 200 tons. The iron castings of
the bridge, which are brought out by a: judicious system
of painting, are of excellent. workmanship and finish.
There is scarcely any sinking of the-foundations percep-
tible, the only deflection being about one-eighth of an
inch in the crown of the centre arch, derived from the
cohesion of the parts. When the swing bridge is thrown
open, which will be the case at stated periods, there
will be 'a passage of a clear width of 60 feet for vessels
to pass through. The old stone bride over the Med-
way was completed in the year 1392, and has conse-
quently stood nearly five centuries ; it was built by Sir
R. Knolles, and was kept in ripair by contributions
from the adjacent parishes. This bridle will be imme-
diately taken down, and a large esplanade en the back
of tee Med ivay constructed with a portion of the mate-
There was a grand dimplay of fireworks, in the
evening on the old bridge, and the after part of the day
Was observed 'as a general holiday in this city.

COUNTY COURTS. —By the Act of the 15th and 16th
Vic. c 54,•the privilege of practice at the bar, which
had until then been allowed to the judges of the county
courts, was taken away, and their salaries were fixed to
be not less than 1,2001. nor more than 1,5001- a-year.
By a Treasury minute, made by Mr. Gladstone,
t e
salary. This contingency-was fulfilled in
the case of the judge of the cJunty courts of Glamore,an-
b theehtiignig, higherwas stated which should entitle a judge
to
shire (Mr. Falconer). at the date of the uhrinte, istit he
was passed over and 20 of the judges were placipl on the
higher list. The increase of business, howevePhas been
so great on Circuit 30, since the Treasury minute was
made, so as to place this circuit at almost the top of the
list of all the circuits in nearly every branch of the busi-
ness of the courts. A Treasury minute was, conse-
quently, made in favour of the judge of this circuit in
December last, which was, however, kept suspended on
account of the discussion in Parliament upon the gene-
ral claims of the county court judges under the amended
bill relating to the county courts. The judge on this
circuit bas to travel 3 552 miles iu the year, or ;296 miles
in each mend), within the limits of the circuit alone, of
which he has to post in each month 146 milei. There
were 13,277 causes entered on the circuit last year, of
which 242 were above 201. There were 82 insolvency
ps,titi.ms, and the sum sued for L
,h
in a cow ts was 36,9561.
There were also some causes referred to him for hearing
from the superior courts. The time he, is out on circuit
is 22 dayi in each month, including Sundays, and the
cidinary work of the circuit does not end when the. dr-
euit ends ; and if a referred cause is heard some days'
more work is added to the ir.ual work of the month.-
