ERNST SCHuLZ.—We are glad to learn that this
clever artiste, who gave a private soiree in the Dudley Gal-
lery a few weeks ago, has secured the large room at the
Egyptian Hall, P iccadilly, for the purpose of giving a series
of his extraordinary and novel representations duringthe
season. His seances are quite original, humorous, and artistic
studies of character, pourtrayed with an amount of dexte-
rity never before realised by any artiste in this class of en-
tertainments.

ESTIMATE FOR THE NEW LAW COURTS.—The
cubical contents of the building at ls. per foot cube
give £1,253,626, exclusive of figure scuplture and figure
painting. One shilling per foot is taken on the ground
that the Foreign Office is being built at ls. Old. per foot,
and that the stone fronts there boar a larger proportion to
the whole mass than would be the case at the Law Courts.
The contract for Glasgow University, a less expensively-
finished building, gives 72-d. per foot cube ; both materials
and labour, however, are cheaper there than in London.—
The Builder.

DOCKYARD MANAGEMENT. The present Adminis-
tration is not a whit better satisfied with the manner in
which the business is conducted is the Royal dockyards
than the one which preceded it, and we cal state that a
committee consisting of Lord Henry Lennox, M.P., Chair-
man, the Comptroller of the Navy, the Accountant-Gone--
rid, and Mr. H. W. R. Walker has been ordered to assem-
ble with a view of ascertaininc, the possibility of not only
rendering the accounts more simple, but of saving the
public money.—Army an/ Navy Gaz4te.
THE SUICIDE AT TUE SALISBURY HOTEL—This
morning the deputy-coroner for the city of London hold
an Inquest on the ',body of Mr. Davenport, the gentleman
who committed suicide by precipitating himself from out
of the third floor windows of the hotel. The domestics of
the hotel were examined, and their evidence went to show
that the deceased arrived at the hotel the night previous
to the melancholy eventobserved about him. He,
and nothing very peculiar was
was shown his room, and after
giving directions for the following morning he retired
for the night. The next thing that was heard
of him was his standing outside the third floor win-
dow. Every effort was made to induce him to return to
his room, but without effect. It was stated at the inquest
by a brother of the deceased, that he had but lately re-
turned to Englaad from South America, and that he had
while in that country suffered severely from brain fever
brought on by the climate. The jury returned a verdict
of " Temporary insanity."
