ENGRAVING ON TABLE GLASS.—Several very
exquisite specimens of engraving upon glass, more particu-
larly in the utilitarian form of decanters, carafes, wine-
glasses, and entire dessert services, have recently left Eng 11)
-
land to decorate the tables of the wealthy potentates and
other luxurious denizens of the East, whom, it would
seem, as well as the monarchs and princes of the European
Continent, commission the London factories for this pecu-
liar and elevated order of art manufacture. The greater
proportion of these orders have been entrusted either di-
rectly or indirectly to the skilled artisans employed at " The
Thames Cut-Glass Works," the extensive
.show-rooms of
which, almost entombed in the river's bank, near Paul's
Wharf, Thames-street, we have been at some pains to disco-
ver. We wore, however, amply repaid, through the courtesy
of their manager, Mr. James Grees, for an hour so passed
amongst its really beautiful examples of glass engraving,
as we were not prepared to find anything like the high
character of ornamentation and correct classical form there
exhibited. These facts are worthy of publicity, as reflecting
the greatest credit upon the English workmen, who have
thus quietly and successfully secured an enviable European
reputation in this elegant branch of trade..--Globe:
THE FRENCH IN THE RED SEA. A frightful
tragedy has taken place within the last month on the coast
of Abyssinia. King Negouziah, the rival of the Emperor
Theodosius, having been beaten in a pitched battle with the
Emperor's troops, has been put to death by flaying, his body
being afterwards suspended on a gibbet for two days, together
with the corpses of two of his most devoted followers.
France loses in Negouziah an ally who had already given a
pledge of his sincere amity in his cession of one of the best
harbours on the coast. It is hoped that the French Red Sea
squadron will be increased, to prevent any revocation of this
grant by the Emperor Theodosius. The bulk of the Abys.

POST-OFFICE SAVINGS BANK

This bill was brought up from the Commons and read a

LUNACY REGULATION BILL.

On the motion that their lordships go into committee on
this bill,
The LORD CHANCELLOR stated the alterations he
had felt called upon to make on this bill. It was proposed
that there should be two medical visitors, but the noble
earl (the Earl of Shaftesbury) had suggested that there
should bo but one, and he thought that suggestion
was a good one, and therefore he proposed that the bill
should be altered to that effect. He thought that one ade-
quately remunerated medical gentleman was far preferable
to two whose remuneration was not at all of a certain
nature.

The Earl of SHAFTESBURY said he felt flattered by
the adoption of his suggestion.
The Marquis of WESTMEATH thought that the law of
lunacy required great amendment.

The house then went into committee.

ROMAN CATHOLIC CHAPLAINS .IN PRISONS.
Mr. DENMAN drew the attention of the house to an
error which had been committed in the votes relative to a
petition which he presented last week from the inhabitants
of Tiverton. The petition was against the appointment of
Roman Catholic chaplains and schoolmasters in work-
houses, and was correctly described in the newspapers ; but
in the votes it was represented as being in favour of" the
full exercise by Roman Catholics of their worship in pri-
sons," which was directly contrary to its prayer.
Mr. NEWDEGATE complained of a similar mistake in
reference to a petition which he had presented.
