CRYSTAL PALACE.

The report of the directors states that so far the
present year had been successful. Not only had
there been a considerable increase in the attendance
of visitors as compared with any previous year, but
the season ticket receipts had materially increased
over the large amount in hand at the corresponding
period in 1865. It was clear that, notwithstanding
the recent commercial depression and' the unsettled
state of politics, the prospects of this company had
materially improved. A small portion only of this
improvement could be attributed to the opening of
the new high-level railway, and the recent issue of
the guinea railway season ticket of the Chatham
and Dover Railway Company. The directors were
of opinion that the increase in the number of visi-
tcrs was mainly due to the greater vigilance in seiz-
ing every opportunity of keeping the Crystal Palace
prominently and favourably before the public. The
directors expressed their gratification at the satis-
factory condition of the park and gardens, which
were becoming more beautiful with each successive

of the 15 weeks and three days ending as above
amounted to £346,371, and the expenditure to

Archaeological Association.

Yesterday evening the last meeting of the session
of the members of this association was held in their
rooms in Sackville-street--Mr. J. Wright in the
chair.
Mr. Overall brought before the notice of the
meeting an enormous earthen jar, discovered at 3
depth of 10ft. from the surface in Old Broad-street,
City, and now preserved in the Guildhall Oral.
It is three feet high and nine feet in circumference,
and was found under a house that was 200 Yearn,
old. It has four loop handles on the shoulder, and
Mr. Cuming produced a Chinese jar with the sole
number of handles similarly placed, but expressed
his belief that the Broad-street jar came from Spain'
and had been used for the exportation of fruit.
Mr. SYEII C UMING read a paper on " Hand aut-
lets," tracing the use of this peculiar talisman from
a remote period down to the present day. Its earliest
use was traced to Egypt, and the paper was inns"
trated by the exhibition of examples discovered in
tombs at Thebes, among which were a clenched,
hand of gilded terracotta, an extended one carve°,
in bone, and conjoined fingers of stone and coloured
glass. Little hands of blue glass worn by the Mahn;
medans were exhibited, and mention was made e;
the practice of wearing round the neck a well-drieu
finger, cut from the corpse of a Jew or a Christian'
as a cure for the ague. The " hand of glory,"_ ,the
potent talisman of ancient burglars, was described,
and Mr. Cuming then proceeded to notice the
amulets of Europe, of which several examples were
produced, one of which was found in the cave of tbe
Sybil at Cumx ; and another, a splendid one of rock
crystal, from the collection of Lord Boston.
Mr. E. RORERTS described a number of grand
plans of Finchale Priory, near Durham, explaining
the several parts of the conventual establishment'
and he produced from the Coming collection a stone
that formedpart of the capital of one of the columns'
Mr. Gordon Hills and the Rev. Mackenzie WBl-
- also stated their opinion respecting the coniew
tual arrangements, and the latter pointed out many
resemblances between Finchale Priory and Wes
minster Abbey.
short
The Rev. MACKENZIE WALCOT also read a
but interesting notice, contributed by Canon 1181:1;
greaves of Peterborough, of the Church of Baldeu:o
the tower of which, hesaid, was one of the firsts
towers of any church built in England, and sv.;
constructed to imitate wood, of which material they
had previously been made. ree
Mr. J. T. Irvine transmitted an account of se
monumental effigies found in Cerne Abbey, Pere,eero
shire, of which there are but few remains ; and tL'ni
were suspended round the room some rubbing Irnisa
remarkable brasses in Essex, contributed by
Hartshorne, which were explained by Mr. Rehe,iii

---
argument for preferring Pleeidilly is the fact that
Burlington House being already a national propertymight be adapted for it at a less expense than will be
incurred by the erections in Charing-cross. Not,
therefore, is it certain that the ultimate cost might
not be equal, or if unequal that the difference may not
be compensated by the superiority of site.

THAMES.

STEALING TEA IN A DOCK.—William Jones, aged 44,
with no settled home, labourer, was brought before Mr.
Puget, charged with stealing 3 ounces of tea, the property
of the East and West India Dock Company.

The prisoner was seen by a day watchman, named Ber-
ridge, to enter a warehouse where teas were deposited, and
raise the lid of a chest, from which he took a handful of
tea and put it in hispocket. Ile was immediately secured.
In answer to Mr. Paget, Douglas, a dock-officer, said the
warehouse was in the East India Dock, and that the dock
companies were exposed to depredations of this nature.
The prisoner pleaded guilty ; and Mr. Paget said the
merchandise in the docks must be protected against this
petty pilfering. Ho sentenced the prisoner to be impri-
soned and kept to hard labour for one month.
ABSCONDING PROM A WORKHOUSE.—Mary Driscoll, a
wretched-looking woman, was brought before Mr. Paget,
charged with absconding from the Mile-end Old-town
Workhouse with the clothes of the establishment.

Robert Holmes, porter of the workhouse, said that the
prisoner absconded on the 12th of the present month with
the clothes given to her by the guardians to wear in the
house. Last night the prisoner returned to the workhouse,
with an order from the police for the casual ward, and in
the clothes she was then wearing. The value of the
clothes with which she left the workhouse was 18s.

The Prisoner.—They aro not worth so much. 18s. for
workhouse clothes, indeed !
Mr. Paget.—The value makes no difference at all. You
(tre sentenced to one month's imprisonment and hard
labour.

The report of the directors states that they
had hoped the mail recently arrived from Brazil
might have brought some further communica-
tion from the Imperial Government on the
subject of the promised extension of the company's

meantime, however, all that could be done by them

cut off to the shoulders. The legs have not yet been
found. A red cravat was tied tightly round the
neck, so that death was, no doubt, produced by
strangulation, and the mutilation of the body took
place after death. This fearful occurrence has pro-
duced much excitement in the immediate neighbour-
hood, but although the police have been closely in-
vestigating the circumstances, they have not yet
been successful in elucidating the mystery with
which this occurrence 'is surrounded.

The Pope has made an appeal for a new loan to
be issued nominally at 66 per cent. The obliga-
tions of 500 f. will bear an interest of 25f. per an-
num. His Holiness, in asking for this loan, says—
" This appeal will be understood by all Catholics
who have it at heart to prove once more that the
Holy Father never in vain claims their devotedness
to him."

The Emperor yesterday reviewed in the Court of
the Tuileries the First Division of Infantry of the
Ist Corps d'Armee. His Majesty, accompanied by
the Prince Imperial, rode in front of each line, and
after the review, which passed off with great eclat,
distributed rewards to soldiers of all ranks. As
usual the Emperor was received most enthu-
siastically.
The opinion given to-day by the Journal des
Debats respecting the position of affairs in Ger-
many is this—" The news from Germany consists
of contradictions and polemics. The question at
issue, and the differences between Austria and
Prussia open for Germany the prospect of a series
of complications and stormy discussions."
The reports of the visits of " illustrious foreigners"
to Paris are sometimes to be received with caution.
I have always doubted the truth of the presence of
the Head Centre, Stephens, here, but General Prim,
the hero of the late unsuccessful military insurrec-
tion in Spain, has just arrived, and also M. de
Merode, formerly an influential member of the
Pontifical Government. His visit, however, is
quite unconnected with religion or politics. The
celebrated prelate has come from Rome only to be
present at the ceremony of taking the veil by his
young sister at the Convent of the Sacre Coeur.
M. de Merode is about to visit Brussels, I am in-
formed, with some mission connected with the legi-
timate support of Roman Catholic influence in
Belgium. _ _

LONDON, THURSDAY, APRIL 19, 1866,

_
The paper war between Austria and Prussia gill
continues, but there is no nearer approach to a war,
and judging from the last accounts there seems
indeed more chance of peace continuing. We would
not give much for the length of its duration, how-
ever,
so many
prognosticated of it, because there
are
manY incongruous elements at Work, and
affairs have proceeded so far that it seems almost
to adjust them in a
Permanent fashion. The pro-
posals of Herr Von
A's -n__l
lAP.cx respecting Federal
Reform are very ingenious,
and displays much
of that skill and
votr fuire
long distinguished that states which have
he succeed or not in carrying out Whether
his plan eventually
it is sure to answer his purpose forat•ea
and e, and both
divert attention from his failures
make a show
of his interest for the welfare of Germ any collec-
ti cels, and his zeal in the common cause
of Father-
land. His proposals are rather complicated, but
they will be less popular for that in an assemblage
of States and Principalities that deal so largely in
mysticism and manoeuvres. A common Parlia-
ment, on the basis of universal suffrage,
is proposed, and a common Executive, in
which more power will be given to Austria,
Prussia, Bavaria, and the rest of the middle
States, and less to the petty ones. A curious in-
stance of Herr BISMARCK'S cunning is observable in
the manner in which he has arranged the auxiliary
part of the business. Austria is to have no perma-
nent auxiliaries, but will be satisfied, it is hoped,
711'11 some kind of a guarantee. The Viertna Go-

cepted the amendment which had been proposed.

bearing on the legal construction of some of the terms of
the bill which had reference to the amendment alluded to

THE TOUTING NUISANCE.-At a general meeting of the
Jockey Club held at Newmarket yesterday, a memorial
to th© Stewards, signed by a large number of trainers at
Newmarket and elsewhere, complaining of the inconve-
nience to which they are subjected by watchers in the
employ of the proprietors of a newspaper called The
Sportsman, and the publication of their reports in that
paper, was read to the meeting. The Stewards were re-
quested to take some steps in consequence.

HORSHAM ELECTION.

The report of the Horsham Election Committee was
brought up by the Chairman ; it was to the effect that
Mr. B. W. Hurst, tho sitting member, was duly elected.

POOR RELIEF.

Mr. CHAMBERS asked the President of the Poor-law
Board whether it was his intention, and if so when, to in-
troduce a bill into Parliament founded on the recommen-
dations of the select committees on poor relief, in reference
to the religious rights of inmates of workhouses ; and
further, if such be his intention, to ask that he would give
sufficient notice of the same for boards of guardians,
unions, and parishes to have the opportunity of express-
ing their opinions upon such an important measure.
Mr. VILLIERS said at the close of the last session he
introduced a bill for the amendment of the poor law, and
in it were clauses relating to the subject mentioned by the
hon. and learned gentleman. He intended to reintroduce
the bill this session, and full time would be allowed all
parties to consider its provisions.
CHOLERA.

Sir J. C. JERVOISE asked the Vice-President of the
Committee of Council on Education whether the attention
of the Medical Officer of the Privy Council had been di-
rected to a statement in the newspapers that the Emperor
and Empress of the French had visited the cholera hospi-
tals in Paris, and that M. Gustave Girard had made experi-
ments in demonstration of the non-infectious nature of the
cholera ?

Mr. BRUCE said the medical officer of the Privy Coun-
cil, like other persons, had seen an account of the merito-
rious act performed by the illustrious personages referred
to, and also to the daring experiments performed by M.
Girard, who had placed a portion of the perspiration from
the brow of a man who had died from cholera to the tip of
his tongue ; but such an act did not prove conclusively
that cholera was non-infectious. The steps taken by the
French Government by directing strict quarantine against
cholera in the East showed that they were as much alive
to the dangers of cholera as the English Government.
