GOVERNMENT EMIGRATION.--The Government
emigrant ship Monica, 1,346 tons, Captain James Jackson,
which sailed from Liverpool on the 30th December, arrived
at Melbourne, Victoria, on the 17th of March, with 46
married couples, 278 single women, 7 single women, 7 girls
between the ages of 1 and 12, 17 boys between the same
ages, 22 female and 7 male infants, making a total of 430
souls, equal to 396 i statute adults, under charge of Surgeon
Superintendent J. Matthew Burke. Three births, but
no deaths occurred during the voyage.

FATAL SCAFFOLD ACClDENT.—Yesterday morn-
ing, about nine o'clock, a fatal accident took place in Wil-
ton-place, Belgmve-square. One of the houses is under
repair, a scaffolding being raised to the roof. At the hour
above stated, Mr. Charles li,owan, foreman of the brick-
layers, was looking over their work upon a platform about
40 feet from the ground, when one of the planks tilted, and
he was precipitated head foremost into the area beneath.
On being taken up his head was discovered to be literally
beaten in.

THE HANDEL COMM EMORATION.—The prepa-
rations for this great musical gathering may now be said
to be complete. At the last rehearsal, the three kettle-
drums manufactured expressly for the occasion by Mr.
Distin were tested with the most satisfactory result, pro-
ducing a full, round tone, which blended with admirable
effect with the chorus. The rehearsal of the instrumenta-
lists will be held at Exeter Hall on Thursday morning, and
the whole of the provincial choir are to arrive in town on
Friday, preparatory to a great choral rehearsal at Exeter
Hall in the evening. Admission to these two rehearsals
will be strictly confined to the performers. The grand full
rehearsal of the entire body will take place at the Crystal
Palace on Saturday next, when the whole area of the
Palace will be open to the public, the galleries only being
appropriated as reserved seats. On this occasion portions
of the oratorios for each day of the festival will be rehearsed,
and those yho rutty be unable to attend the grand perform-
ances in the ensuing week will thus have an opportunity of
estimating the varied character of the selections, and the
general effect of this unparalleled assemblage of 'musical
talent.

PARIS ACADEMY OF SCIENCES.

At the last sitting, M. Chasles communicated an
account of his efforts to recompose the three books
of Euclid, entitled Porisms. These three books are.
lost ; but there is an obscure notice of theni
Pappus, a geometrician of the 4th century, who
speaks of the work in the highest terms, declaring
o sin
it to be indispensable for geometrical
oionvestiga-
tions. Many mathematicians have

voured to discover what those Pri were, for

WHITS U.

HAYMARKET THEATRE.
There was ho absolute novelty in the performances at this
theatre yesterday evening, but Mr. C. Mathews appeared
in two of his most amusing characters ; and this lively and
agreeable actor has certainly not exposed himself of late
years to any risk of exhausting his popularity in the metro-
polis. In "Everybody's Friend," and in "He would be
an Actor," he displayed last night all his practised ease
and unfaltering vivacity. In the first of these pieces he
was supported by a large portion of the whole strength of
the Haymarket company, including of course the lady who,
in sharing his name, shares all his engagements, and also
that very charming young woman and accomplished actress,
Miss Reynolds, and the now veteran Compton. Mr. Buck-
stone was prevented by a hoarseness from appearing in one
Of his best known characters—Major Wellington de Boots;
but his place was supplied by Mr. Clark with unexception-
able efficiency.

The amusements of the evening concluded with the ex-
travaganza, " Electra, in a New Electr'ic Light," which
seems to have retained its hold on the public favour sinceit
was first produced last Easter. The audience bestowed
upon the various performances the most undivided atten-
tion. It was not, however, a very large one ; but at this
perhaps we must not wonder, as Whit-Monday is essenti-
ally an out door festival.

THAMES.

STABBING.—Wm. Keefe, a boiler-maker, of 7, Painter's-
rents, Broad-street, Ratcliff, was brought up on remand
before Mr. Yardley, charged with stabbing John Coghlan,
his landlord.

The affray which led to the prisoner being taken into
custody occurred on Tuesday, the 22d of May, in the course
of an Irish row in Painter's-rents. The prisoner, who was
drunk, noisy, and violent, was ordered to leave the house
he was in by his landlord. He refused to do so, a row
ensued, and several persons commenced fighting. Coghlan
attempted to turn Keefe out of the house, and in a struggle
which took place the prisoner seized a knife and plunged it
into the breast of his countryman, inflicting a deep and
dangerous wound, from the effects of which Coghlan is still
suffering. He has been under medical treatment in the
London Hospital ever since he received the wound.
A certificate from the house surgeon of the London Hos-
pital was put in, which stated that the wounded man was
not in a fit state to be removed.

Mr. Bowdler, the second clerk, read the evidence given on
the 23d of May, and it clearly made out the case against the
prisoner, and that the knife with which he inflicted the
wound was taken away by his own wife.
Mr. Yardley asked if any of the witnesses were in attend-
ance and on being answered in the negative, said he could
not detain the prisoner without evidence.
The prisoner said he had been incarcerated for upwards
of three weeks.

Mr. Yardley said
,he should not detain the prisoner any
longer without evidence, and finally allowed him to go at
large, on his entering into his own recognizanco to appear
again when Coghlan is able to appear against him.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

USEFUL CAUTION TO LICENSED VICTUALLERS.-Wm.
Montgomery, a tall, shabby looking fellow, was charged
before Mr. Bingham with stealing a framed print and some
horse-hair stuffing from a seat in the parlour of the Prince
Albert, Upper St. Martin's-lane, the property of Mr. Stuart
Sutherlaid.

From the evidence of the prosecutor it appeared that on
the previous evening, while attending to some customers,
a person asked him, as the prisoner was leaving the house,
whether, when prisoner came in, he had a parcel with him
as he suspected him of having got something under his
arm belonging to him. The prisoner was fetched back
with, a parcel under his arm, at the time wrapped in a
newspaper, and on being opened it was found to contain a
framed print and a quantity of horse•-hair, which the pri-
soner had taken from one of the seats in the parlour where
he had been sitting. The prisoner said he was in distress,
and had been wandering about for the last day or two.
In answer to the magistrate, the prisoner admitted his
guilt, and said he was in distress, but was•sorry for it.
Mr. Bingham said publicans must not be robbed in this
way, and if prisoner was in distress he should have gone to
the relieving officer.
Committed for three months.
London, England, 1859-06-14

" I have completed my examination of the water
of the docks, and find it to be in a better state than
that of the river. The water is less agitated in
these basins than in the river, and is consequently
freer from suspended matter. In fact, the docks
serve as settling pools, in which the turbid water of
the river becomes clear by repose, and the mud thus
carried in it is removed by dredging. The water
of the West India Docks is remarkably clear and
bright, and the appearance of that in the East
India India Docks is nearly as good. The water in
both the East and West India Docks, from their
situation on the river, contains a much larger pro-
portion of sea water brought up by the tide than
the water either of the London or the St. Katha-
rine's Docks.

" The West India Docks possess the advantage
of free communication with the ,river by their
opposite extremities. and are thus particularly well
situated for the change of water from the river when
necessary—an advantage which the London 'Docks,
from the arrangement of their basins, may also
avail themselves of, though to a less extent, by
employing the entrance through the Hermitage
Dock as well as the other entrances.

" The samples of water from the docks are col-
lected on the Ist of June. The sample of the river
at high water was taken in midstream opposite
Somerset-house, on the 31st of May ; that of the
river at low water was taken at the same point on
the 2d of June ; heavy showers having fallen during
the preceding 24 hours in both cases. The quantities
given in the following table represent the amount
of suspended and dissolved matter, both organic
and inorganic (mineral), in grains per imperial
gallon :

NEW ADELPHI.

Mr. Tom Taylor's new drama, " The House, or the
Home ?" still proves the great attraction at this theatre,
and it was only thought necessary to mark Whit-Monday
by the production of an apropos sketch by Mr. Edward
Stirling, called " The Rifle Volunteers." When it is said
that the point of the piece lies in, a certain number of the
corps de ballet appearing in the costume of riflemen, and
going through a series of military evolutions, a host of
farces of a similar description will at once recur to the
minds of the playgoer. The dialogue of the sketch is brim-
ful of patriotism ; every other line contains something
about the defence of our island home, Britons never shall
be slaves, and Britannia's the bride of the ocean, all of
which sentiments were received with the applause which
their truthfulness so richly deserve. Mr. Selby, as the
father, was a humorous embodiment of a valorous British
merchant ; Mrs. Alfred Mellon was pleasant and lively as
the daughter, and soldierly yet slightly rhapsodical as the
rifleman ; and Miss Kate Kelly, as she always does, makes
a great part of an extremely small one. The female rifle-
men (I) were excellently drilled.

ELECTRICAL INFLUENCE IN HEALTH AND
DISEASE.

Just Published, price is., free by Post for Fourteen Stampi,
SZECOND LIFE : or ELECTRICAL NERVOUS
►Li FORCE ; a MEDICAL WORK, intended for the special
perusal of all who are suffering from the various forms of
NERVOUS and PHYSICAL DEBILITY, and the distress-
ing ulterior consequences to which they lead ; with practical
Observations on the great Curative power of ELECTRO-
GALVANIS3L in the treatment of these Disorders, by infus-
ing tone and vigour in constitutions relaxed or debilitated
from various enervating causes. Illustrated with Cases com-
piled from the Note-book of a Registered Medical Practi-
tioner of twenty years' standing.
Unlike many vaunted restoratives, Electricity is one which
commends itself to the medical man as being accordant with
the soundest teachings of physiology. By the most obvious
indication it admits of being shown that the Electrical and
Nervous energies are identical ; hence, that when the latter
fails, the former can take its place, and that when, from irre-
gularities of any kind, the nervous system has become debili-
tated, paralysed, or exhausted, and the patient brought to a
condition little short of total prostration, then by the action
of Electricity, imparting certainty and efficacy to medical
treatment, he can be re-invigorated, and his health re-esta-

THE TREATMENT of STRICTURES of the
URETHRA; showing why they so often appear In-
curable, when in reality they might be removed by the most
simple means.
By P. B. COURTENAY,

And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan_ Infirmary for the

Cure-of Strictures of the Urethra.

" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special
attention has been directed, through a long professional life,
to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases
which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his
'great discriminative power in the dugnosis of the various
kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which
their management is founded. By his systematic management
an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is
attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can
most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable
contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and
ought to be found in the private study of all who arc subject
to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec. Ist, 1858.

CHRISTY'S MINSTRELS.

The performances of these artistes continue to attract
highly fashionable audiences to St, James's Hall each
evening. The minstrels themselves are the aristocracy of
niggerisyn. Their caricatures have all the burlesque which
have rendered darkie melodies so popular, while there is a
refinement about them such as any one who has not seen
and heard Christy's company will find it difficult to imagine
in connection with this class of entertainment.

GREAT GLOBE, LEICESTER-SQUARE.
It was a pleasing portion of our'duty yesterday to pay a
visit to this popular and instructive place of amusement.
The dioramas of the tour of the Rhine, of China and Japan,
and the campaign in India, have already been noticed in
our columns on several occasions. We might mention that
amongst the most recent additions to the already excellent
attractions provided by,Mr. Wyld for the entertainment of
the public is a grand moving diorama of the sites and scenes
of the war in Italy, giving illustrations of the most important
positions of the belligerent parties, and well described by an
attendant lecturer. These dioramas, however, only form one
portion of the amusement, for the Globe itself must not be
forgotten, neither Must the collection of trophies, models,
charts, &c., be omitted. Altogether there can be no doubt
but that great credit is due to Mr. Wyld for his endeavours
to maintain the character which the Globe has already ob•

IMPERIAL PARLIAMEN T

HOUSE OF LORDS—(YESTERDAY).
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack
at five o'clock.

THE CIVIL SERVICE,

The Earl of DERBY laid on the table, by command of
ier Majesty, the report of the Civil Service Commission.

THE RED SEA TELEGRAPH.

Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY said, in the short dis-
cussion that had taken place on Thursday last, he under-
stood the noble earl opposite (Derby) to state that
the guarantee of the Government would not commence
until the line was in working order, but he saw, from a
letter signed by a gentleman named Deane, that the
contract entered into came into force immediately it was
agreed *to by the Treasury. He also understoodthat an actual
instalment of the 4f, per cent. had been advanced, although
no vote of Parliament had sanctioned such a payment. He
wished to ask whether any such payment had been made.
The Earl of DERBY said he was inaccurate when he
stated on Thursday evening that the Government were
not to make any payment until the line was
in working order. It was quite true that an instalment
had been paid, in anticipation of the sanction of
Parliament, but in making that payment they had only
followed the precedent of the late Government in the case
of the Mediterranean Extension Company. He would not
at that moment enter into any discussion as to whether
such a course was regular, but the late Government had
initiated the course, and the present Government had fol-
lowed it.

sion-, and will remain shipped until after-the next
trial, when she will return to the harbour and ship
Griffith's screw for a trial. As the common screw
will be tried with the form and pitch variously mo-
dified, it is likely that these trials, if fully carried
out, may continue for some little time. Captain
Gordon, commanding steam reserve, with Mr.
Murdock, inspector of machinery, were on board
during the trial. Sir Baldwin W. Walker, Sur-
veyor of the Navy, also returned to harbour in the
Doris, having previously gone oat on board the
Mersey. The Melpomene, 51, screw steam frigate,
at Portsmouth, was yesterday taken out of No. 7
dock and berthed alongside the north quay of the
steam-basin, where she will take on board her
gulls, shot, &c. The Pincher and Bullfinch, gun-
boats, were afterwards taken into the same dock.

The men employed in Portsmouth Dockyard upon
the Assurance, Neptune, and other vessels that are

being brought forward for immediate service, com-
menced yesterday to work overtime, it having been
determined to complete all vessels at present in
hand as speedily as possible.
The Court-martial upon the officers of the Jaseur,
for the loss of that vessel during the night of the
26th of February, on the shoal of Baxo Nuevo,
will be held on board her Majesty's ship Victory,
at Portsmouth, this morning.
The sailing ship Sidney Hall was yesterday char-
tered by Government for the transport of shot and
shell from Woolwich to Gibraltar. The sailing
transport Vicar of Bray yesterday left Woolwich
for Valparaiso laden with ammunition and war
stores.

The following appointments were madeyesterday
at the Admiralty :—Samuel Libby, Master, to the
Trident ; Samuel Coles, Naval Instructor, to the
Algiers; John H. Minter, Deputy Medical In-
spector, to the Victoria and Albert ; Henry J. V.
Mial, Paymaster, additional, to the Hannibal. ; and
Edwarell. Stanton, Assistant Paymaster, to the
Exmouth.
