RIPON.ing.

The Torch, 4, screw gunvessel, Commander F.H.
Smith, fitting at Chatham, is ordered to be vic-
tualled and stored for foreign service, her destina-
tion, it is thought, being China.
The Bacchante, 51, screw, Capt. M'Kenzie, flag
of Sir Thomas Maitland, C. 8., Comman,ler-in-Chief
on the Pacific station, steamed out of Portsmouth
harbour yesterday to Spithead, where she will take
in her powder, shell, &c., prior to proceeding to her
destination. On the frigate's way out to Spithead
competitive trials took place of the Clifford and
Kynaston gear for lowering boats while a vessel is
under way. The usual honorary salutes were dis-
charged between the Bacchante and the Victory.
The Bulldog, 6, paddle, Capt. Sir F. L. M'Clintock,
has commenced swinging in Portsmouth harbour
for the adjustment of her compasses. She yester-
day shipped her sounding lines, consisting of 75
reels, each of 1,000 fathoms' length, She goes out
to Spithead to-day, if possible.
The Asia sailing two-decker, in commission as
guardship of steam ordinary at Portsmouth, is
ordered to be placed in dock for alteration and con-
version to a screw. The Asia was built of teak in
Bombay, after the model of the French Canopus.
The Sirius, old sailing frigate, has been brought
down Portsmouth Harbour and berthed alongside
the dockyard jetty, for the purpose of being cleared
out and prepared as a target-ship for the Ex-
cellent.

The Nelson, 91, screw, made her trial of speed
at the measured mile in Stokes' Bay yesterday with
full boiler power, and obtained an increase of speed
over the 101 knots averaged the previous day. The
ship is too light for the trials to be of any value in
arriving at an estimate of her speed at seawhen she
has her crew and all her weight on board.
The Hecate, 6, paddle, sailed from Spithead yes-
terday afternoon for the westward.
The screw gunboat Magpie, tender to Hawke,
60, screw coastguard ship, sailed from Plymouth on
Wednesday, for Queenstown.

The following appointments were made yester-
day at the Admiralty :—Lieut. Arthur G. Gillett,
to the Marlborough •, Lieut. H. Smith, to the For-
midable ; Richard Daury, clerk, to the Geyser ;
Henry Wellington Essex and Charles Batchelor to
the Terrible.

BRUCCIANI's GALLERY OF ANCIENT AND MODERN
siwniAny.—Rich as the metropolis is in the possession of
magnificent picture galleries, noble mansions, and schools
of art and science, it is our duty to seek out the beautiful ;
and as, in this instance, we are not recording the fame of a
41 public" exhibition, but simply making known the con•
eentration of exquisite specimens of art, manipulated or
collected by a private individual, whose doors are always
open to the devotee, be he professional or amateur, it is
with this feeling that we speak of Signor Brucciani's Gal-
lery of Art, which is situate in Russell. street, Covent-
garden. On entering, on either side are ranged groups,
busts, and models of all shapes and makes, yet so artistically
displayed that perfect harmony of arrangement is at once
obtained. As fine specimens may be noticed the following
from the antique, viz.:—The Lacoons, Diana a la Biche,
Apoll) Belvedere, the Fighting Gladiator, the Dying
Gladiator, Achilles, Antinous, the Dancing From, Venus
de Medici, Cupid and Psyche, and many others. Amongst
the preceding group stands boldly out the statue of David,
by Michael Angelo, moulded from the cast presented to the
British Government, and now at the South Kensington
Museum. Groups of the above specimens reduced are on
view. We now approach the chef d'oeuvres of the best
modem masters—including the lovely " Graces" of Canova ;
the noble statue of " Perseus," by the same artist ; also his
44 yenus ;" the "Eve," by Baily ; and Power's "Greek
Slave." All these, and scores more, modelled from the
originals. Busts of celebrated men, ancient and modern,
be they connected with art, science, or literature, lay dis-
posed most attractively. Our attention was next directed
to the many beautiful samples of foliage and groups of
fruit casts from nature, made expressly for the use of Art
Schools and students ; and, as being worthy of inspection,
some charming fountains, vases, and statues made fs arti-
ficial stone. Altogether, a more pleasing hour cannot be
spent than in a visit to Signor Brucciani's collection, who,
as Formature to the British and South Kensington
Museums, Academy of Arts, &c., &c., has opportunities of
centreing in his own private gallery the very finest original',
or copies, of ancieAt and modern statuary,

had departed ; then every man b-

truly dignified in this noiseless

to be sternly silent was the nobl,
minds. I ought to have said tha,
was a fine illumination at the Conversation House,
which is the grand resort of the company who are
staying in the neighbourhood, and the building its
which is concentrated the gambling for which the
town is famous. Beyond this one display I did
not perceive a flag or a light upon any house or
hotel. This was very strange to me, for if in any
English town there had been but one king,
much less nine, there would have been some sort of
display, unless, indeed, the unpopularity of one of
the number had been great enough to compel the
people to ignore the existence of the other eight.
What wonderful times we live in, for I have no
doubt that the people of London know more about
what was done in Baden yesterday than I do to-
day, and merchants upon 'Change are talking of the
very matters which I upon the spot can only sur-
mise and guess. May the end be such that the
nations have rest and the Kingdom of Christ may
fully came. C. H. SPURGEON.

711 E STATE OF THE WEATHER.

There has been a sort of Merlin or Murphy pro-
phecy current for many months past, to the effect
that the foul weather with which we have been
afflicted since September of last year was to come
to a termination on the 21st of June—the longest
day. Here, then, with the help of water-proof
coats and umbrellas, we have arrived at this criti-
cal period in the biography of the nation ; but are
we rid of the rain, the fog, the snow, the gales,
and all the discomfort which the elements can
entail upon us when they become confused in
one long, continuous hubbub P It has been
charged against us Englishmen that we are some-
what too apt to make the weather the subject of
our conversation; but we point to our experience
of the last ten months, and ask—Have we not a
right to do so ? Surely, at the time of the famine
in the sister island, two Irishmen who met each
other by chance on the banks of the Shannon might
very reasonably be indulged in a slight criticism
upon potatoes. For the last few years the peasants
who live or die in the neighbourhood of the
Italian lakes accordingly as the silkworms attend
to or neglect their business might be excused if
they asked each other how the mulberry trees
were thriving. The wine-growers in the Medoc
country or on the Cote d'Or feel some little
interest in the progress of the vine disease. Just
in the same way we poor wet-footed—we had need
to be web-footed—storm-bound islanders have a.
right to interest ourselves in the condition of the
weather. For a wonder, the proverbial felieity of
our Queen in such matters has deserted her. The
British Sovereign, with all sorts of august and.
illustrious personages at her back, drove up Ascot
Racecourse the other day in a closccarriage amid a
deluge of rain, just as though she had been
some ordinary mortal. Put not your trust in
Princes any more. This last refuge and consolation
have been denied for the last ten months to the
English race. The Queen of ,these realms, equally
with the humblest costermonger among her sub-
jects, has lived in the midst of showers,:ani storms,
and hurricanes. The rain has fallen with Scrip-
tural equity upon the just and the unjust, the
mighty and the humble, the rich and the poor. Nor
must we bring any peculiar reproach upon these
islands in this respect. In those countries of
Europe which lie closer to the sun, and where, ac-
cording to received canons of belief, the more for-
tunate inhabitants were living among violet-beds
and watching the flight of the firefly while we
were staggering among our fogs with linkboys to
guide us on our obscure path, the weather has
proved just as bad as it has been in the British.
Isles. Not even the auspicious event of a liberated
Italy could entice a smile from the angry clouds the
other day, when Victor Emmanuel went forth to
receive the homage of his new Emilian sub-
jects. The Spaniards, who, under the guidance
of O'Donnell, had chosen—as they imagined—
the most favourable season of the year for
levyinr, war upon the unyielding Moor, found
themselves involved in snow and fog, and
elemental miseries, the like of which had
never been remembered. Never have such an
autumn, winter, and spring been known in Ger-
many as during the last ten months. The calamity
—for it has indeed been a grievous calamity—has
been universal throughout Europe, and the British
Islands have not been worse treated than neigh-
bouring lands.
The social miseries consequent upon this continu-
ous ill-weather have indeed been hard enough to
bear, hut they have been as nothing in comparison
with the injury inflicted upon the sibstantial re-
sources of the nation. The herbage has been
drowned, or scorched up under keen winds. The
younglings of the flocks and herds have perished
for want of food. Lambs, which in ordinary seasons
produce wealth in abundance to the stockgrowers,
have been given away freely to anybody who would
accept them as a gift. The price of meat has flown
up to a point at which it is placed almost beyond
the reach of any save the comfortable classes. We
hear of leagues formed in this or that district or
town for the purpose of uniting to give up the use
of butchers' meat until the butchers consent to
reduce their prices. Under the usual condition of
affairs Scotland, with its long ranges of sheep-
walk, exports mutton to England. England is
now exporting mutton to Scotland. The evil is,
unhappily, far indeed from being a sentimental
one. People who arc engaged in agricultural
operations will tell you that, unless the weather
mends, and that speedily, the year's harvest will
be in the most imminent peril. We all know the
meaning of a deficient harvest. Irreparable mis-
chief is mot yet done ; but an eleventh month of
bad weather superadded to the ten which have pre-
ceded it would probably be sufficient to place the
grain crops in jeopardy. Under these circum-
stances we have at least the comfort of thinking
that in our own islands the legislative folly of man
is not acting in harmony with the inclemency of
the elements. The farmer on the banks of the
Ohio an the Belgian grower of stock are working
for the British markets. Not many years ago a
few months of rain, a spoilt harvest, and a rejected
Reform Bill would have represented in the kande of
a skilful agitator the groundwork of a formidable
agitation. Now at least the humlolest mechanic
or peasant who may be suffering distress in conse-
quence of the hardness of the times is well awars
that the Government of the country has nothing to
do with his misfortune. His indignation may be
directed, probably without cause, against the corn-
dealers, or millers, or butchers, or bakers; but there
he quarrel ends. As to the weather,_ the common

sense of the matter, according to the observation of
ordinary men who make no pretension to the pro-
phetic character, would seem to be that good years
and bad years, wet years and dry years, go in
cycles. We have had for some years past a series
of :dry years, and now we must apparently make
up our minds to see the wheel for a while in revo-
lution the other way. Let us hope that the worst is
past, and that henceforth matters may begin to
mend, although the amendment will in all likeli-
hood be gradual.—Times.
