A blue hook of 300 pages contains the third report of
the Department of Science and Art, addressed to the
Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade, &e.,
by their secretary, Mr. Lyon Playfair. From a sum-
mary of the details adduced it appears that the museums
and libraries of the department continue to be in an ef-
fective state, and have been visited by 331,000 persons,
being an increase of 56 per cent. above the numbers of
the previous year. This increase is chiefly due to the
new circulating museum of ornamental art, which has
been visited by 55,701 persons in the provinces, and t
the success which has attended the new arrangemen's
male by the department in regard to the Museum of
Natural History in Edinburgh, resulting in an increase
of the visitors from the old average of 800 to above
100,000. There has been a consi leraole diminution in
the attendance on the museums of London from the stat
of affairs. The Dublin Botanical Gardens have been
visited by above 30,000 persons, and the Z
Gardens by 138,000. The exhibitions of the dep it tent nt
have been visited by 72,000 persons. The geological
surveys in Great Britain and Ireland and the Mining
Record-office continue to be carried on with increased
activity, and have made during the past year reports to
the Government on various geological sul jects of impor-
tance to this country and the colonies. The schools of
art have been attended by neatly 12,000 pupil.. The
number of children taught drawing in public schools,
through the agency of the masters of art schools, anion ts
to 13,988, but this is not sufficient to meet the wants of
the public, and new measures are being devised to give in-
creased development to elementary art instruction. Instruc
tion in art has been given to 2,181 teachers, and there,ults
of their examinations have been more satisfactory than
in preceding years. The schools of science, the working
men's lectures in London, and the provincial lectures in
Ireland have beau attended by 10,000 persons. That
valuable institution, the Metropolitan School of Selene ,
applied to mining and the art., continues to flourish.
The systematic courses during the year included 100
lectures on chemistry by Prof. Hoffmann ; 48 on phy-
sics, by Prof. Stokes; 50 on metallurgy, by Dr. Percy ;
40 on mineralogy, and 60 on mining, by Prof. Smyth ;
30 on geology, by Prof. Ramsay ; 50 on natural history,
&c., by Prof. Huxley ; and 36 on applied mechanics, by
Prof. Willis. Thirty matriculated and 56 general stu-
dents attended the course of 1855-6. The increase of the
latter is very gratifying. An evening course of lectures
for schoolmasters has been given during the past year
by Mr. Huxley, the Professor of Natural History, &c ,
and a course of chemistry by Dr. Hofmann. Lectures
to working men have been given in natural philosophy,
chemistry, metals, and mining, the attendanceon which
has been only limited by the size of the lectureroem.
The chemical and metallurgical laboratories, under the
superintendence of Drs. Hofmann and Percy, have been
in full operation, and respectively attended by 100 and
27 pupils. Dr. Percy has now in the press an elaborate
inquiry on the composition of the iron ores of England ;
and he has made an elaborate campanalogical inquiry,
with a view to ascertain the best composition for the
great bell of the New Palace at Westminster. Dr. Hof-
mann has made several valuable reports. The Museum
of Practical Geology has been usefully employed in aid-
ing the authorities on questions of importance both at
home
and in the colonies. Tribute is borne to the in-
, creasing usefulness of other collateral institutions.

labourers attending being driven to acknowledge that no
man could cut so regularly or so cleanly. The circumstances
of the trial afforded a fair illustration of the ease of manage-
ment, for it was worked perfectly by two men in the em-
ployment of the Duke of Bedford (his grace's drillman and
his son), who had never seen a machine of the kind previ-
ously. This servant of the duke, by the way, although
probably only an average specimea of the men employed at
Woburn, so impressed Mr. Crosskill, or so won upon him
by the facility he exhibited in the conduct of the operation,
that he was engaged on the spot to become the travelling
companion of the machine in its tour of experiments.
We have stated that a considerable number of the county
gentry and larger farmers were present on the occasion,
and these may considered as representing the old school
(so far as there is an old school), as well as the more al-
vauced section of agriculturists. To show the spirit in
which these gentlemen are dispwed to take up the matt, r
we may mention that one person, on ordering a machine
from the maker, stated his intention of placing it at the
disposal of his men gratis for the next year's harvest, and
this in order to disarm the nrejuilice and apprehensions
which the labouring classes are not unlikely to entertain.
This gentleman considers that his proper share of profit
will be completely covered by the early and quick in-
gathering of the corn.
Great pleasure was evinced by the visitors in the oppor •
trinity afforded of inspecting the noble farm, which con-
tains within itself a complete epitome of all the modern
improvements in the cultivation of the soil. the farm em •
braces above 1,000 acres, and nowhere could better fanning
be witnessed than hero. Corn, root crops, grasses, and cat•
tle are severally the best of their kind, while the arrange-
ments are characterised throughout by their marked refer-
ence to economy. Everything is expected to pay. The
farm is a model to all occupiers, and the buildings are
worthy of imitation by all proprietors of the soil. It roust
be remarked, however, that the excellence of this farm
is not of recent growth, for more than thirty years ago
Woburn-park Farm was greatly in advance of many
neighbourhoods that possess a high repute at the present
day. For many years Mr. Burness (a Scotchinan) had the
superintendence of the farm, and his high reputation as a
practical farmer is worthily sustained by his successor,
Mr. Baker ; indeed it is owing to the fact that this
gentleman is a faithful disciple of the same enterprising
school that the farm is in such high condition. Many of
the improvements commenced by his predecessor Mr]
Baker has perfected, besides originating not a few. In
anxious desire for progress in every department, few men
exceed Mr. Baker ; an he is manifestly a man who be-
lieves in the accomplishment of that great desideratum
the application of steam to the culture of the land. It
would be invidious thus to particularise the merits
of Mr. Baker were we not to add that the whole appearance
of the farm proves that the Duke of Bedford has succeeded
in filling all the principal offices of his immense estates
with most able men. . .

USE OF STRYCHNIA..—The lord-Advocate, owing to
the use of this poison by gamekeepers for the destruction
of vermin, has given instructions that it shall be made
known as publicly as possible that any one placing
strychnia or other poison within the reach of the public,
or using it without such precautions as are needful to
prevent irjury, will ho held responsible for the cense-
quences, and that if death or injury to health is the
result the party offending will be liable to be prosecuted
criminally. Sheriff A. Alison has posted throughout
the county of Lanark a notice intimating that, as several
casualties which have recently occurred are supposed to
have been occasioned from the use of strychnia by
gamekeepers and others for the destruction of vermin,
any one placing► strychnia or other poison within the
reach of the public, or using it without the precautions
necessary to prevent the possibility of injury, is respon-
sible for the consequences of such act ; and that, if
death or injury to health result therefrom, the person
who has used the poison will be liable to be prosecuted
criminally. Similar proclamations have been issued by
the sheriffs of other counties.—Scotsman.

At the Police-court on Saturday, before Messrs.
Robertson Gladstone, Hill, Wilson, and Willis, a man
of respectable appearance, and about 40 years of age, a
collecting clerk in the office of Messrs. Harmood Ban-
ner, and Son, was brought up on a charge of having em-
bezzled 4201., the property of his late employers.
Mr. J. R. Walsh was examined, and Elated that he
was cash-keeper in the office of Messrs. Banner and Son.
From some communication made by the prisoner, and
his own investigations, he found that the prisoner had
received numerous sums of money for which he had not
accounted. On the 23d of April he had received 121 103.
from Mr. Albert, and on the 14th of June 121. 53. 6d.
from the same gentleman. On the 4th of July be had
received 201. from Mr. Thos. German ; and on the 15th,
from Mr. W. Dorrington, 171. 103. On the 12th of
August, Mr. Samuel Tkornely, of Lord-street, had paid
him 571. 153. It was the prisoner's duty to pay over all
moneys collected to the witness, and to make the cor-
responding entries in the cash-book. He had not paid
over those moneys, and he had not entered them.
To Mr. Dodd, who appeared for the prisoner, he
stated that he did not know whether those sums were
not entered in the prisoner's collecting-book.
Mr. Banner, jun., stated that the prisoner and his
father came to his private house and made a communi-
cation to him, but he refused to listen to anything ex-
cept at his office. He saw them subsequently at his
office, where the prisoner acknowledged his defalcations,
and ffered to give his house and furniture to reimburse
him, and to work as a copying clerk in the office until
the balance should be paid up. He asked him could his
friends do anything for him towards making the balance
of his accounts right, but he raid no. The prisoner
stated that his difficulties had arisen from extravagance
in his personal and household expenditure.
Mr. Banner stated that he had not yet investigated
thoroughly the books of the firm, and could not state
the exact amount of the defalcations.

SEIZURE OP 'NJ HOLESOME GRAIN
AT LEEDS.

Blue

Light Blue ...
Red

Last week Messrs. Thomas England and Dickenson
Hurtley, corn merchants, of Warehouse-hill, Leeds,
were summoned before the magistrates, at the C mrt-
house, for having in their possession, exposed for sale,
12 quarters aed upwards of wheat which was unfit for
the food of man when seized by the Inspeeor of Nui-
sances. The case excited a good deal of interest, and
the court where the complaint was heard was crowded
by corn merchants and others. There was a great deal
of discussion between the opposing counsel on the bear-
ing of the 20th section of the Nuisances Removal
and one or two objections of a formal character, on the
part of the defendants' advocates, were overruled by the
bench. Another objection taken for the defence was
that no inspector had a right to enter a merchant's
warehouse without a written authority ; but the magis-
trate, Mr. Lupton, replied that this was what they must
all submit to for the good of society. Mr. Huggon, an
analytical chemist, proved that the corn seized by the
inspector was unfit for the food of man. The sample
produced stank abominably; and it appeared to be com-
posed of three-fourths of brown earth and one-fourth of
discoloured grains of wheat. The counsel for the defence
relied on the assertion that the wheat was not exposed
for sale—it was simply warehoused ; it had reached Mr.
England in the ordinary way, and his servants had
simply deposited it in the best way they could until they
had received the orders of the owners. He, therefore,
c,

Blue took the lead, ani kept it all the way, but only
just clear of Pink. The other two were two boats'
lengtit behind, having a capital rase. In this order they
continued to the finish, where Plnk. half•overlapped
Blue ; Red was third, half a clear boat ahead of Light
Blue.

BIRTHS.

The CHAIRMAN then gave the health of " The
Queen," which was enthusiastically received—the
bands of the Guards playing the National
Anthem, the vocal parts being rendered by upwards
of 300 members of the Chorus in the gallery.
The CHAIRMAN said, I have to give you another
toast, which I do not expect will please you as much
as the last, but very nearly so. I give you the toast
of " Prince Albert and the rest of the Royal family,"
and in that of the Royal family I include the
Prince of Wales, who, I hope, may live after the
example of his Royal parents, and may the day be
long before he wears the Royal crown. (Cheers.)
The toast was drank with three times three.

The entire estate, under the superintendence of 11r.
Bennett, is hardly less remarkable for admirable manage-
ment than for natural beauty ; and when the visitor has
accustomed his mind to the marks of systematic care which
he may discern on every side, he will be prepared to wit-
ness, without surprise, the vast manufactories which ring
out their din hard by the ducal palace, and shoot their long
chimney shafts above the rich foliage of the home woods
of the park. in these workshops all the building materials
for the homesteads and cottages of the estates are made
ready for use, and here workmen in almost all branches of
mechanics find uninterrupted employment.

land corroborated the statement of his advocate, and
said that the wheat would have been used for manure;

MF,ANCHOLT ACCIDENT.—On Sunday night a dis-
tressing accident occurred by which the life of an old
and valued servant of the General Steam Navigation
Company was sacrificed. The following are the particu-
lars :—The Diamond, steam vessel, Capt. Read, left
Herne Bay at five o'clock, when,just off Whitstable
Bay, the mate, David Corbin, gaie instructions to hoist
the staysail, as the wind seemed favourable. He was in
the act of superintending it, when the sail struck him in
front, and drove his back against the side of the fore part
of the boat, and he being a tall man was turned com-
pletely overboard. The vessel was steaming up rapidly
with the tide, and the paddlewheel struck the poor fel-
low on the head. The vessel was instantly stopped, and
the engines reversed, Two boats were lowered and put off
to his assistance. He was seen to strike out once or twice,
but sink before the boats could reach him. Every exertion
was made to save him, but of no avail. His wife who was
in the cabin, upon hearing the cry of a man overboard,
rushed to the deck to see her husband lower the boats and
assist, and when she found he was not at his post, conjec-
tilted it was him in the water, and became almost frantic.
The deceased was much respected, having been in the ser-
vice of the company 30 years. One or two of his children
were on board at the time of the unfortunate occurrence.
He was brother to Cpptain Cyrbin, of Barnagate, well
knnwn and respected.

it formed the damaged portion of a cargo of 1,800 quar-
ters from Egypt. The decision of the bench was at
length given by Mr. Lupton as follows :—" The subject
is one of deep importance to the public; and the magis-
trates have given it a great deal of consideration. Mr.
Sands, the inspector, has performed his duties well and
properly. He has acted in accordance with law, and de-
serves commendation. We are of opinion that the c ern
complained of was not exposed for sale within the mean-
ing of the statute, inasmuch as it proved to our satisfac-
tion that it possessed no money value whatever. We
are of opinion that corn placed in warehouses unfit for
the food of man is always seizable by the inspector, and
that there is great danger to the "person holding it of
being convicted under tkii act of Parliament, unless be
can clearly and satisfactorily show that 11Q had it not in
his possession for any of the purposes contemplated by
the act ; and the onus proiandi will rest upon him. In
order to prevent any information of offences of this
character, it is desirable and will be prudent on the part
of persons being in possession of such corn at once to
announce the fact to the inspector, in order that it may
be examined and disposed of in such manner as will
prevent the sale of it for human food." The defendant's
counsel hereupon promised to make manure of the rotten
Mace, and the portico left the court.

The experiments with the prize reaper were resumed on
Saturday, when something very like envy took possession
of the spectators mind when he saw how easily and rapidly
that work might have been done, the unavoidable post-
ponement of which, on his own farm, has filled him with
misgiving.
All, however, departed to their respective farms in some
measure comforted by the assurance that there need not be
any more harvests wasted for want of a steady, punctual,
reliable labourer.

The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the next toast,
"Ilia Royal Highness the General Commanding-
in-Chief, our Soldiers and Sailors, our bravo Allies
in the late War, and the Chaplains of the Army,"
said he might say a few words to them on the
toast, as Comrades. To the old men—the old
Guards of Alma and Inkerman—he need not say
one word to them in favour of H. R.ll. the General
Commanding-in-Chief, for they all knew as much
of him as he did. (Cheers.)
must live in their
hearts as he did in his (the chairman's) eternally—
(cheers)—and all others who were true British sol-
diers. (Cheers.) It must be their greatest pride today
that they were with him at Alma and Inkerman. I
(Cheers.) There was but one thing caused him
sorrow, if such a thing ought then to be felt by
him, and that was to find that these tables were
not large enough for all their comrades !9_ the late
war to be present. (Cheers.) HO dolibted not

Mr. Dodd urged that after the statement made by
Mr. Banner there was end of the criminal charge.
Mr. Gladstone said this was a very serious one, and
he must remand the prisoner for a week.
