To-day's market was but moderately supplied with eaeh
kind of foreign stock ; the general quality of which was
only middling.
About an average supply of beasts was derived from our
own grazing districts, in good condition ; indeed, this was
one of the best markets for beef held for some weeks past.
Owing in some measure to the holidays, and the change in
the weather, the beef trade ruled heavy, and prices gave
way, compared with Monday last, from 2d. to 4d. per 81bs.
The general top figure for Scots was 4s. Bd. per 81bs.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received 2,000 Scots, shorthorns, and crosses ; from other
parts of England, 220 of various breeds ; from Scotland,
380 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland 90 oxen and
heifers.
We were tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied
with most kinds of sheep. All breeds met a very dull in-
quiry, and the quotations gave way 2d. to 4d. per Blbs.
The general top ffgure for old Downs was ss. Bd. per 81bs.
Lambs were m moderate supply and sluggish request at
about Thursday's decline in value. Prices ranged from
ss. 4d. to 6s. 4d. per 81bs.
Although the supply of calves was very limited, the veal
trade ruled heavy, and the quotations gave way 2d. per

ENA.LEThe following
Feb. 25.—Dear Sir,—We are much grati-
fied by the intelligence conveyed by the last mail (bearing
the newspaper date of Dec. 4) of the actual commencement
of a subscription to erect a memorial to the memory of our
late master, Mr. George Stephenson and beg to enclose an
order on the Commercial Bank of India and China for the
sums attached to our names. We, as Newcastle men, join
heartily in this movement, as we consider that Newcastle
should be the first place to do this public honour to so illus-
trious an individual—on account not only o ithe Tyne being
his birthplace, but the great benefits conferred on the town
and neighbourhood of Newcastle by his talents and perse-
verance. But we also, as servants of the establishment of
Messrs. R. Stephenson and Co., and members of that class
of mechanics who have been most benefited by his disco-
veries and improvements, record thus our gratitude for th e
lengthened employment we have had under the firm of
which he was the founder, and our admiration of one of our
own class, who, by his successful application of such disco-
veries and improvements, had raised himself to the com-
panionship of the highest of the nobility, and left behind
him a name more durable than any potentate of the Jest
century. We leave it to yourself to enter our subscr:p.tkon

subscribers, whichever you think best. With best Nr_l!ti;.

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-
blished to a degree almost warranting the designation of

INCENDIARY SHELLS FOR WARFAREJ

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—Under the above heading, in the Mechanics'
Magazine of yesterday, I have read a letter signed
" Justice," and dated the 17th inst., addressed to
the editor of The Sun ; I did not see The Sun which
contained that letter or I would have instantly
answered it, by quoting an extract of a letter to
the editors of the Mechanics' Magazine, dated 29th
of December, 1855, and inserted in their number,
12th January, 1856, on the subject of Capt. Disney's
liquid-fire shell :
"I do not pretend to any claim on the liquid-fire con-
coction, bisulphuret or carbon and phosphorus, which
consider to be the most naufragious' fire• stuff ever in-
vented by the ingenuity of man."
In my recent experiments at Chatham I only
used my own rifle-shells charged with the liquid-
fire which Dr. Scoffern gave to me about three
years ago, and Mr. Wentworth Scott filled a few of
my rifle-shells with his own liquid-fire, which I
fired from my heavy rifle in his presence in the
garden of the Rosherville Hotel about the same
period, and found his liquor to be very potent,
which was reported in some of the daily and weekly
papers of the time.--I am, Sir, your obedient ser'
vant, JOHN NORTON.

MADAME BOSIO.

TO THE EDITOR OF TIIE SUN.
SIR, —I yesterday received a letter from the hus.,
band of the late Madame Bosio.
It is with. feelings of deep sorrow that I find the
report of the melancholy death of that lady eon.
filmed.
Poor Madame Bosio died at St. Petersburg on
Tuesday, April 12th, of inflammation of the lungs.
The circumstances of her death are the more pain-
ful, as it appears the malady was most improperly
treated in the first instance.
Many of your readers will know how to appre-
ciate the great loss which the lyric stage has sus-
tained by this sad event, a loss most difficult in-
deed to replace ; those who had the pleasure of
Madame Bosio's acquaintance in private life will
mourn for her also as a most kind and amiable
lady ; while many, I fear, will lose a charitable and
sympathising friend,—l am, Src.,

DIORAMA OF THE RHINE.

I'Vyld has added to the numerous and varied
exhibitions at the " Great Globe," in Leicester-
square, a well-painted diorama of the Rhine, with
its varied scenery, its old feudal castles, and its
oft-described legendary localities. The series of
tableaux begins with Rotterdam, whence the visitor
is carried in a gradual pictorial journey past Dus-
seldorf with its bridge of bOats, Cologne and its
world-famous cathedral, the Drachenfels, and the
town of Neuwied, the scene of the last great
struggle between Austria and France in 1795.
Nothing known to, or worthy of being known to,
tourists is omitted, until at last, past ancient town
and battlemented fortress, by foaming cataract and
sequestered nook beloved of river syren, the visitor
is landed at St. Gothard in the Swiss Alps, and can
contemplate at his leisure the picturesque source of
the Rhine. The pictures are painted with consi-
derable skill and good scenic effect, and the towns,
especially Cologne, represented with great accuracy
of detail. To those who intend a tour on the Rhine
in the ensuing autumn, a visit or two to the diorama
will be better than a library of guide books, while
others, whose hard fate obliges them to stop at
home, will get an admirable idea of its most remark-
able features. At the private view on Saturday,
which was numerously attended, the various
tableaux were much admired, and the amusing
lecture by which the exhibition was accompanied,
was most attentively listened to, and also obtained
a considerable amount of applause. In addition to
the Rhine, the dioramas of Japan, India, and China,
are still exhibited, and fully maintain their original
attraetiyeness.

will consequently be made this morning. As three clear
days must elapse before the nominations take place in cities
and boroughs, the bulk of them will be fixed for Friday.

MADAME BOSIO.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,-1 yesterday received a letterfrom the hug'
band of the late Madame Bosio.
It is with feelings of deep sorrow that I find the
report of the melancholy death of that lady con'
firmed.

Poor Madame Bosio died at St. Petersburg on
Tuesday, April 12th, of inflammation of the lungs•
The circumstances of her death are the more pain-
ful, as it appears the malady was most improperly
treated in the first instance.
Many of your readers will know how to appre-
ciate the great loss which the lyric stage has sus-
tained by this sad event, a loss most difficult in:
deed to replace ; those who had the pleasure of
Madame Bosio's acquaintance in private life will
mourn for her also as a most kind and amiable
lady ; while many, I fear, will lose a charitable and
sympathising friend.—l am, &c.,

DIORAMA OF THE RHINE.

Mr. Wyld has added to the numerous and varied
exhibitions at the " Great Globe," in Leicester-
square, a well-painted diorama of the Rhine, with
its varied scenery, its old feudal castles, and its
oft-described legendary localities. The series of
tableaux begins with Rotterdam, whence the visitor
is carried in a gradual pictorial journoy past Dus-
seldorf with its bridge of boats, Cologne and its
world-famous cathedral, the Drachenfels, and the
town of Neuwied, the scene of the last great
struggle between Austria and France in 1795.
Nothing known to, or worthy of being known to,
tourists is omitted, until at last, past ancient town
and battlemented fortress, by foaming cataract and
sequestered nook beloved of river syren, the visitor
is landed at St. Gothard in the Swiss Alps, and can
contemplate at his leisure the picturesque source of
the Rhine. The pictures are painted with consi-
derable skill and good scenic effect, and the town*
especially Cologne, represented with great accursoY
of detail. To those who intend a tour on the Rhine
in the ensuing autumn, a visit or two to the diorama
will be better than a library of guide books, whil?
others, whose hard fate obliges them to stop a"
home, will get an admirable idea of its most remark-
able features. At the private view on SaturdsP
which was numerously attended, the various
tableaux were much admired, and the amusing
lecture by which the exhibition was accompanied,
to
was most attentively listened to, and also obtained
a considerable amount of applause. In addition
the Rhine, the dioramas of Japan, India, and China'
are still exhibited, and fully maintain their origins'
attractiveness.

mon finding himself outgeneralled at all points,
broke up his camp on the 28th, and commenced
his retreat on the capital with the Liberal forces
hanging on his rear.

The dates from the city of Mexico are to the 4th
inst. The Liberals surrounding the capital were
15,000 strong. They had cut off the supplies of
water and provisions. The garrison numbered
6,000 men. Miramon had sent 1,500 men to the
capital from Orizaba. On the 2d General Degol-
lado attacked the capital, but was unsuccessful ;
500 were killed on each side. Miramon was at
Orizaba. The United States Minister had recog-
nized the Government.

At Havannah, on the 10th, sugar was buoyant,
at 9c. to 9.1 c. for clayed, and 72c. to 84c. for infe-
rior to good qualities of muscovado. Molasses de-
clined c. Sterling exchange, 11 to 11 per cent.

of mechanics who have been most benefited by his disco-
veries and improvements, record thus our gratitude for th
lengthened employment we have had under the firm of
which he was the founder, and our admiration of one of our
own class, who, by his successful application of such disco-
veries and improvements, had raised himself to the cotis-
panionship of the highest of the nobility, and left behind
him a name more durable than any potentate of the last
century. We leave it to yourself to enter our subscriptions

EXECUTIONS OF ITALIAN SOLDIERS.—During
last week and the week before there were so many deser-
tions from the Austrian regiment " Alemann," which re-
cruits at Bergamo, in Lombardy, and from " Aivoldi,"
which is raised at Lodi, that drum-head law was on Wed-
nesday last proclaimed in both regiments. Four deserters
from the first-mentioned regiment, which is in garrison in
Vienna, were brought in on Wednesday, and, as two of
them were taken after drum-head law had been instituted,
they were tried and ' shot within the next twenty-four
hours.

TATTERSALL'S.-MONDAY.

We stated about a fortnight since that the committee of
Tattersall's were anxious to employ Sergeant Langley (late
of the Detective Force) to protect the " Ring" and the
public from the robberies committed by persons under the
denomination of " Welchers." In order to carry out this
laudable intention a book to receive subscribers' names was
opened this afternoon. The proposed subscription is one
sovereign per year, and many gentlemen have already en-
tered their names. We trust that the subscription book
will speedily contain the signature of every member of the
Room.

Hepatica was not remarkably firm for the Northum-
berland Plate, for which Paul and Gargrave were
in most demand. The doings in the Goodwood Stakes and
Derby call for no especial remarks. The prices at the close

A MAD DOG AT A RAILWAY STATlON.—Yes-
terday afternoon, about five o'clock, considerable excite-
ment was occasioned among the passengers at the booking
office of the Greenwich Railway terminus by a rabid dog
making its way into the place, and flying at everything in
its way. The animal, an Isle of Skye terrier, after jumping
up at the gas burners, and endeavouring to force its way
through the aperture at which the passengers pay their
fares—much to the alarm of the collector—made its way
through one of the side windows into an adjoining yard
and back again. At this moment a sailor entered the sta-
tion, and with great courage, while the dog was running
wildly about in one corner of the building, he approached
the animal, and succeeded in securing it by thrusting his
jacket over its head, and carried it out of the station to a
place of safety. It was afterwards stated that the owner of
the dog immediately ordered it to be destroyed.

[ADVERTISEMENT].—HoIIoway's Ointment. —Determi-
nation of Blood to the Head.—Flushing, blushing, palPi:
tation, and shortness of breath are cured by these gramd
regulators of the heart's impulse. Under Holloway's grand
specifics the current of blood throughout the body becomes
steady and unchanged by the passing thought ; hence the
suffusion of chest and cheeks is avoided, and nervous em-
barrassment prevented. They, in like manner, remove ex-
cessive sensibility, so often the opponent to the ease and
grace inherent in the healthful and strong-nerved frame,
and eradicate the doubts of the nervous. In intellects de-
clining from intense study, free living, or over-anxiety, no
equal remedy is attainable. Without exaggeration, they
give muscular energy to the paralysed and ease to the
pained.

opportunity of displaying his great abilities. According to
our notion Mr. Vezin's conception of the character of
Richard is unexceptionable ; and, although we must say
we had some fears as to the result, owing to the difficult
nature of the tragedy, the whole performance went off in
the most triumphant manner. The great beauty of this
gentleman's acting is its wonderful truthfulness. We have
none of those mannerisms and unnatural peculiarities
that have of late been so prominent on the London stage,
and which have marred and spoiled the best efforts of the
few actors yet remaining capable of embodying the sublime
conceptions of the great master mind of Shakspeare. With
some the "modesty of nature " has been entirely overlooked,
and we have had Richard made a ramping, roaring bully,
without one jot of dignity or nobleness; but such was not
the case last night. Mr. Vezin's version of the character
was all the most ardent lover of Shakspeare could desire.
From first to last his reading was faultless, and the result
was perfect and complete success. The tragedy was fol-
lowed by a new comedy, entitled "The Viscount of
Letorieres," in which Mrs. Vezin admirably sustained
the leading part. The plot is simple, and mainly
turns upon the straights and strategies a young French
Viscount is put to while waiting the result of a trial, in
which he is one of the claimants of a fortune of two mil-
lions of francs. He has to make love to all the ladies, talk
over his judges, defeat his enemies, and having done so, he
meets with his reward by being declared the rightful claim-
-I:nt to the disputed prize. Mrs. Vezin acted the handsome
dashing Viscount to perfection. Nothing could be
prettier than the love making scenes, or more
refreshing than his arguments with the judges why they
shotild decide in his favour. The audience was quite in
extacies with the lady's acting, and the curtain fell amidst
the most enthusiastic applause. Mr. Calvert, as the Baron
d'Hugean—an empty-headed rival claimant for the two
millions—was capital; and Messrs. Neville and Voltaire
acted their respective parts with great ability.
