THE GREAT NORTH ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.-
The late Arctic cruiser Fox, which is about to be despatched
onnowsulryivenygseirnvitcheeinscoounthnaetipotnon
undergoing the necessary refitment. She will be coin-:
mended by Captain Allen Young, and will be accompanied
mcwDithocks this

se ofis
by an adequate staff of electricians, geographers, geolo-
gists, and surveyors, and a marine painter. The Danish
Government takes a warm interest in the project, and will
send out two commissioners in the Fox to report upon the
survey. Captain Young was at Southampton on Tuesday,
on business connected with her equipment for sea. The
paddle steamer Bulldog, appointed by our Government to
take the soundings, has already sailed on her mission, and
it is expected she will be absent from three to four montht.
The Fox will be ready for sea about the middle of July.
The Mayor of Southampton is making arrangements to
give a grand banquet to Captain Allen Young in celebra-
tion of the departure of this expedition to commence the
accomplishment of what is hoped and anticipated by a large
body of nautical and scientific men will be a successful
endeavour to unite the two worlds by a telegraphic com-
munication. Invitations have been forwarded to Lord
Palmerston, Lord Ashburton, the President of the Royal
Geographical-Society, and other persons eminent in science
and literature.

MORTALITY AMONG BEES.—The severe winter,
backward spring, and wet summer, have proved very de-
structive to bees in Crieff. During winter and spring bees
had in many cases to be fed ; and, owing to the wet weather
in June, they could not gather as much as keep themselves
alive, and those who neglected to feed the little creatures
have found, in many instances, their hives dead from want
of nourishment, In ordinary seasons bees generally swarm
about the end of May and beginning of June, but this year
few hives have swarmed. The price of honey this season
will, it is believed, be high.—North British Paily !flag,

The committee look with satisfaction on the steady
progress which these figures indicate in the attend-
ance of compounders, who, from their entering
more entirely than other pupils into the course
which the college has marked out for them, form,
through their numbers, the best estimate of the
extent to which the college does it work in raising
the education of Englishwomen to a high standard,
and of the degree of public confidence which it has
already gained. The committee have been enabled
duiing the past year without encroa.hing on the
time due to other studies to give three hours instead
of two to the classes in drawing, and the pupils
have been provided with a 'larger supply of casts
and models. The result has been that the efficiency
of the class-teaching has been very materially in-
creased. Accommodation is now provided for re-
ceiving boarders. The library is also, though
somewhat defective, a very serviceable addition to
the college, and the number of pupils who subscribe
to it is yearly on the increase. Next, however, to
the charter of incorporation the most important
fact in the past connection of the college is•the
foundation of scholarships, giving a free education
in the college. The first step in this direction was
taken by her Majesty, whose interest in the work
was shown at an early period by a donation of
£250, and who exercises from time to time the
right of nominating • free pupil. The professors
contributed £1,500 towards the expenses of the
charter, and at the commencement of the separate
existence of the college obtained from the council
in return the foundation of four scholarships ao-
nually for senior and junior pupils respectively.
The chairman, in addressing the pupils present,
expressed the pleasure he felt in saying a few words
for their encouragement. It was very satisfactory
to find that, while many other institutions were in
pecuniary difficulties, its particular difficulties had
been got over, and a satisfactory surplus obtained.
This was due, in a considerable measure, to the
conduct of the professors of the college, in setting
apart a portion of their annual income to this ob-
ject. His lordship concluded his address with a refe-
rence to his own University life, and in a very cor-
dial manner wished that the favours received, the
sympathies awakened, and the friendships formed
by those hearing him, while engaged in their pre-
sent duties, might continue to increase the happi-
ness of their after lives. The adoption and ap-
proval of the report were duly moved, seconded,
and carried, and the proceedings terminated in a
vote of thanks to the chairman.

THIS DAY'S MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

A very poor show of English wheat was exhibited on the
stands to-day, nevertheless the supply was more than equal
to the demand. For both red and white qualities the in-
quiry ruled heavy, and in some instances prices were rather
lower than on Monday.
We were well supplied with foreign wheat. The heavy
fresh ithprtation-44,980 qrs.—had a depressing influence
upon the trade, an 1 the quotations were nominally is to 2s
per qr. lower than last week. Floating cargoes were very
dull, and lower to sell.
The supply of barley was limited, and most kinds were
taken on former terms.

We have to report a slow sale for malt at Monday's
quotations.
Good sound oats were held at full prices, but damp par-
cels were quite 6d per qr. cheaper. The imports of foreign
are heavy.

In beans and peas very little v►as doing.
Most descriptions of flour were rather cheaper.
