MR. CLARKSON' S LECTURES ON .ANCIENT

EGYPT.

Mr. Clarkson, on Tuesday, May 22, gave a lecture at the
Grange-road Lecture-hall and Institute (Hampstead.road),
on the most recent acquisitions of antiquarian research and
discovery in Egypt ; and announces a second on the tools,
looms, factories, and trades of Ancient Egypt. On Tuesday,
after touching on several extraordinary recent discoveries,
the lecturer proceeded to show that not only were many of
our choicest arts well known to the ancient Egyptians, but
that to them we are indebted for the sources of many of our
political and social institutions. Some questions, he ar-
gued, growing out of the inquiry, deserved Government
commissions ; for instance,-Ist. Are there any records
extant of contemporary monuments of the 17th dynasty of
the Jewish nation in Egypt ? 2d. Are there any records
extant of the contemporary monuments of the Pharoah
Amenoph (18th dynasty) of Josephus ; of the exode,
and of the circumstances preceding and accompanying
that event ? Mr. Clarkson affirmed that there were.
He said that he had always maintained that the subject, if
popularised as it should be, comprised in itself the two
great desiderata of the present time—" Entertaining and
Useful Knowledge." But if it was not useful only, it was
important. The trades and manufactures of Egypt would
comprise an interesting volume. Illustrations drawn from
the tombs give us a complete insight into the Egyptian
workshops, storehouses, looms, laboratories, trades, and
factories. To the trades naturally succeeded the tools
employed therein. Many of them are painted truly of
copper colour. The question of hardening copper so as to
cut granite, led Mr. C. to that of " Lost Arts" generally,
and to the extent of the chemical and scientific knowledge
of the Egyptians ; affirming that the Egyptian men of
scienee were familiar with the artesian well, the prin-
ciple of the railroad, and with steam power. In the last
inference he said he was supported by a great autho-
rity, Arago. He could, indeed, employ a stronger phrase
than useful in referring to the inquiry—he would say it
was important. It embraced important views of the foun-
dation of society and the origin and progress of civilisation.
It was the pastoral family, which the 18th dynasty super-
seded, which besides the relics of their peculiar architecture
—pyramids, cairns, torliths—left with them wherever they
wandered—republics, embracing the widest extent of
human freedom, in most cases being associated with com•
mon tables, common labour, common education ; and in
some cases with community of goods. It was from them
that Sparta derived its public education ; Carthage its free
guilds; and Athens its vote by ballot, universal suffrage,
and annual parliaments (or senates) ; and from Athens,
through Rome, the British Constitution is derived. If,
Mr. Clarkson urged, the above details attested the serious
import, as well as practical utility of the subject, the
startling and often laughable analogy which the customs
and manners of ancient Ththes bore to modern manners
and customs demonstrated its inexhaustible fund of amuse-

ment and entertainment; concluding by quoting the pro-
verbial dictum—" The thing which has been is the thing
which shall be, and there is nothing new under the sun."

Major and Mrs, Charles Hall have arrived in
Chesham-place, on a visit to the Hon. Mr. and Mrs. Smyth
Vereker.

Mr, and Mrs, Eugene Langdon havo arrived at
Fenton's Hotel from the United States.

At an extraordinary meeting of the shareholders
in the London Joint-Stock Bank, held yesterday, Mr. F.
J. Delafosse was elected a director, in the place of the late
Mr. G. Meek.
An extraordinary meeting of the Sittingbourne
and Sheerness Railway Company is called for the 11th of
June, "to increase the powers of the directors with re-
ference to the issue of the new stock or share capital," au-
thorised to be raised by the company's Act of 1859.
The first report of the directors of the East India
Steam Navigation Company (limited) states that a steamer
and two barges have been erected, and will be ready for
shipment during the month of June. Plans of them have
been forwarded to India and favourably reported upon.
The directors express their regret that the shares have not
been se freely taken up as they might have desired, in con-
sequeL ea of which it may become necessary to make another
call of £2 lOs. ; yet they express a belief that a groundwork
has been laid for a successful business.
At an extraordinary general meeting of the In-
tereolonial Royal Mail Stearn-packet Company (limited),
held yesterday, Admiral Lord George Paulet, C. 8., in the
chair, the report of the directors was unanimously adopted,
and a dividend was declared at the rate of 71 per cent. per
anntum free of income-tax, for the five months ending
Dec. 31, 1859. The amendments in the articles of associa-
tion renthred necessary by the recent increase of capital
were carried without dissent. Lord George Paulet ex-
plained to the meeting that he was compelled by ill-health
to resign the chairmanship, retaining a seat at the board,
and the Right Hon. Lord Claud Hamilton, M.P., was
elected in his stead.
EMIGRATION IN 1859.—The Statistical Abstrac
states that 120,432 persons emigrated from the United
Kingdom in 1859, of whom 31,013 went to Australia and
New Zealand, 70,303 to the United States, 6,689 to the
North American Colonies, and 12,427 to other places. This
last number is very much greater than in previous years;
but the whole emigration is the smallest of the last 14
years, with the exception of that of 1858 (which was rather
less still) and it is not quite a third of the emigration of
1852,

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-L(THIS IMF.)

ROLLS COURT.

(Before the Master of the Rolls, Sir John Botany.)

JTDGMENT-ItICKETS

His Honour the Master of the Rolls said—This is a suit
for specific performance of a contract for the sale of a lease
of a house, No. 2, Hyde Park, for the term of 92 years, for
£5,600, with interest at 5 per cent., and a ground rent of
£5O per annum ; together with a coach-house and stable at
£5OO, with interest at 5 per cent., and £5 of ground rent.
The defendant pleaded abandonment of the contract,
non-performance by plaintiff, the price not paid, and the
occupation by the plaintiff, as tenant, at a rent of £3OO per
annum.

His Honour, on considering the written and oral evidence
produced, came to the conclusion that he could decree
specific perfcrmance of this contract. His Honour dis-
missed the plaintiff's bill, with costs, reserving to the
plaintiff any remedy which he may have at law against
the estate of John Balls for a breach of contract, or any
damages that a breach of contract has entailed upon him.

TIII DAYS RKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

Coastwise nearly 4,000 quarters of English wheat have
come to hand this week : but the receipts by land-carriage
fresh up to-day were limited. For most kinds there was
only a moderate inquiry; nevertheless, Monday's prices
were fairly supported for both red and white parcels. Over
21,003 quarters of •foreign wheat having arrived, that
article was much less active. However, importers were
firm in their demands, at previous quotations. Floating
cargoes were dull.

The barley trade ruled somewhat heavy, at barely last
week's currency.
Malt moved off slowly, yet r 'ices were unaltered.
We had a steady, though not to say brisk inquiry for
oats, at full quotations.

In beans and peas the transactions were unimportant, al
late rates.

Flour was steady, and the top price of town-made was
50s per 2801bs.
