THE BANDA PRIZE MONEY.

Mr. H. SEYMOUR asked the Secretary of State for
India, whether any and what steps are being taken for the
distribution of .the Banda prize money due to General
Whitlock's force?

Sir C. WOOD said that with regard to the prize money
in question the subject was under the consideration of the
India Government, as some .dispute had arisen in reference
to the amount to be distributed.

EMPLOYMENT OF SOLDIERS IN THE CON-

STRUCTION OF CHELSEA WORKS.

Mr. AYRTON drew attention to this subject, and de•
precated the conduct of the Government in granting the
assistance of Sappers and Miners for the works.
Sir G. C. LEWIS repeated the explanation that he had
given on a previous occasion, and said that as the work-
men considered the act of Government an interference with
their rights, he had given instructions that after the ist of
September the employment of the Sappers and Miners
should be discontinued. (Hear, hear.)
Sir M. PETO said that the, question was one
between the employers and the workmen, and condemned
the interference of Gdvernment He expressed a belief
that ultimately the hour system would be adopted.
The subject then dropped.

THE PAPER DUTY REPEAL.

A deputation emanating from the Prr:ss Associa-
tion for the Repeal of the Paper Duty waited upon
Mr. Milner Gibson, M.P., yesterday forenoon, at
residence, in Hyde-park-place, to present an address
thanking him for the exertions he had made to
obtain the repeal of the duty. Among the deputa-
tion were Mr. R. Chambers, Mr. S. Lucas, Mr. E.
Levy, Mr. J. Francis, Mr. T. Hunt, Mr. D. N'•
Chambers, Mr. T. Sanderson, Mr. W. H. Ashurst,
Mr. J. Whitaker,_ Mr. Partridge, &c.
Mr. ROBERT CHAMBERS, having introduced the
deputation, said—Mr. Milner Gibson, I appear be-
fore you at the head of a deputation of the News"
paper and Periodical Press Society, for the purpose
of presenting to you a resolution at which thei
lately arrived.

The address, which was elegantly engraved on
vellum, having been read and presented,
Mr. GIBSON, in reply, said it was very gratifying:
to him to receive that flattering mark of approval
of the efforts he had made in the cause. But the
tact was, the repeal of the paper tax would never
have been carried if it had not been supported hi
the best minds of the liberal party in this country'.
Many persons no doubt looked with indifference on
the question, but those who carefully weighed it
came to the conclusion that the fiscal burdens on the
press produced the worst moral c ffects. The met
who took those views were generally the leaders °.`
opiniou, and gradually among the liberal section of
the community there was formed a sufficient amain,.
of public feeling in favour of the repeal, and this
feeling, with which the Government sympathised,
had brought about the result.
The deputation then retired, and proceeded to
the residence of Mr. Ewart, M.P., in Cambridge"
square, for the purpose of presenting an address tothat gentleman. Mr. Thornton Hunt introduced
the deputation.
The address acknowledged the great efforts Mt
Ewart had made to secure the freedom of the press,
• nd thanked him warmly for having made them.
In reply, Mr. EWART acknowledged the coraPli
meat in suitable terms.

" Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent
practical contributions to German medical literature. This
is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself
to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the
last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it
may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette.
" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers
from this distressing malady by translating this little book,
and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified
adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they
know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own
purses. The difference between true Spermatorrheea and the
various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de-
scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of
the malady."—Medical Circular.

" We have dilated so long upon the contents of the preli-
minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for

but the moderate price at which the brochure' is sold, places
it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."—

EXTRAORDINARY OUTRAGE.

A very extraordinary matter is at present occupying the
attention of the police. On the 31st ultimo a gentleman
named 111‘Kenzie, resident at Pimlico, received a letter re-
questing an interview to the writer, " Agnes Roney," at a
house in Herbert-street, New North-road. Having a
knowledge of this person from a previous introduction at
Madrid, Mr. M'Kenzie duly attended the appointment, and
met the young woman. While conversing with her two
men named Emil Schelk and Carl Hemmel, whom he had
also known at Madrid, suddenly entered the apartment,
and without uttering a word seized him by the throat and
wrists, Schelk then observing, " I have an account to settle
with you, and will do it now, by murdering you." Mr.
M'Kenzie, almost strangled by the united efforts of the
men, was fast losing consciousness, when the woman Roney
interfered, saying, " Don't," or "You shall not murder the
man," and it would appear that this induced them to re-
lease him; on finding that he was thus enthralled he
dashed at Schelk and succeeded in getting him on the
ground; this, however, was scarcely accomplished when
Hemmel made a furious attack upon him, got the best of
the struggle, flung him heavily, knelt on his chest, and
tightly grasped his throat. The now almost overpowered
gentleman yet continued at intervals to call "Murder" and
" Police," upon which Schelk said, " Stop his n@ise,"
" Choke him." A towel, or some such article, was partly
thrust into his mouth ; then there was a call for a rope to
hang him. This was brought in by the woman Roney,
who in some way again used her influence, for the cord
was tightened round his legs and arms instead of his
throat, and having been thus secured, he was carried into
an adjoining apartment. The threats to murder him if he
made the slightest outcry, er did not comply with all
that
would be required of him, were frequently repeated—the
men holding at the same time heavy bludgeons. There
was then a brief consultation; some papers were
brought and placed on a bed, which Mr. M'Kenzie was
required to sign, and under fear of his life did so—
his right hand being relieved for that purpose, while the
other was secured to his leg; after which all three decamped,
taking the documents, whatever they were, with them. This
outrage was stated to have lasted from shortly after 1 o'clock
midday until 20 minutes past 5, when by the assistance of
a girl who entered the room Mr. M'Kenzie was enabled to
escape. Information of what had occurred was subsequently
communicated to the police, and it has been ascertained by
Edes, a warrant officer of the N division, that the three
persons named had not since been seen in theneighbourhood,
that the woman lodged in the house, and on the arrival of
Mr. M'Kenzie sent for the men, who came in a cab shortly
afterwards; also that she procured a rope from the yard
attached to the premises, but not any outcry was heard. It
is understood that Mr. Humphreys has procured a warrant
for the parties mentioned, who are Germans.

IRISH BILLS.

Mr. HENNESSY asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland
what course he intended to pursue in reference to certain
Irish bills. He alluded particularly to the course that
had been pursued in respect to the registration of births,
deaths, and marriages in Ireland.
Sir R. PEEL said he quite concurred in the humane
suggestions of the hon. member (Mr. Blake) as to the
necessity and importance of doing everything that might
tend to alleviate the sufferings and restore the health of
persons labouring under the affliction of lunacy. Hon.
members were aware that in Ireland as well as elsewhere
the time had passed away when lunatics wei e treated
with unkindness, but he agreed also with the hon. member
that it was desirable that the monotony of mind under
which those poor persons laboured should be relieved by
occupation and amusement. It did not appear that the re-
commendation of the commission which sat in 1858 in refer.
ence to lunacy, as to the propriety of introducing a system
of amusement and occupation into lunatic asylums, had been
adopted to the extent to which he thought would have been
advisable. He referred to the latest report of the
commission on the subject of lunacy, from which it
appeared that in a sanitary condition, and as regarded
recoveries in lunatic asylums, Ireland, as compared with
England, Scotland, and France, had the advantage.
He assured the hon. member that he would do all in his
power in reference to this matter as well as other objects of
utility to promote the prosperity of Ireland. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. CARDWELL, in reference to the remarks of Mr.
Hennessy as to Irishbusiness, said that the bill for remov-
ing the penal liabilities of Roman. Catholics in regard to
mixed marriages had been withdrawn in accordance with
the wishes of the majority .of Roman Catholic members.
The bills in respect to the registration of births, deaths,
and marriages, and market fairs, could not be proceeded
with in the absence of a number of Irish members.
FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
Mr. GRIFFITH asked the First LGrd of the Treasury,
whether there was any intention on the part of the Govern-
ment to allow any European Power to obtain possassion of
Tetuan, or of any part of the coast of Morocco in the Me-
diterranean, with reference to the security of the Fortress
of Gibraltar ?

CITY COMMISSION OF SEWERS.

At the usual wrekly meeting of the City Com-
missioners of Sewers, held on Tuesday at Guildhall,
Dr. Letheby, the medical officer of health, reported
on the state of 205 houses that had been inspected
during the week, and he submitted a list of 60
places for sanitary improvement. He likewise
submitted a list of places requiring fur-
ther proceedings on account of orders already issued
but not yet complied with. He also reported that
the officers of the market had seized, 1,3491 b. of
meat as unfit for human food-1,1411b. were dis-
eased, and 2081 b. were putrid. All of it was seized
in Newgate-market, and the salesmen to whom the
meat was consigned gave every assistance to the
officers, by informing them of the arrival of the meat
at the market, and by giving up the names of the
senders. All the meat was sent to the boilers to be
destroyed as food. The mortality returns are still a
little above the average fur the season. Last week
the number of deaths was 57, the number for the
corresponding week of the last five years being 45.
25 of the deaths were among children of less
than five years of age, and 13 among old persons of
60 and upwards. The chief increase in the propor-
tion of deaths has been caused by diarrhoea. The
number of deaths from this cause is 10, and there
were also two deaths from summer cholera, and one
from choleraic diarrhoea. Nine of the deaths were
among children, and four among adults. Much of
the diarrhoea which prevails at this season of the
year is caused by the use of unripe and decayed
fruit. There were 72 births in the city during the
week—namely, the births of 42 boys and 30 girls.
Dr. Abraham pointed the attention of the Court to
the alarming account given by Dr. Letheby, in
his recent quarterly report, of the impurity of
the water from the pumps in the city. He said
at a time of year when cold water was in
so much request, it was the duty of the Court
to caution the public that in drinking water from
the city pumps they were drinking poison. He
suggested that the pump handles should be chained,
believing that the parish authorities had the power
to do that. At his instance it was resolved to in-
struct the clerk to the commission to send a copy of
the medical officer's last quarterly report to the
different authorities of parishes in the city in which
Dr. Letheby had tested the water, and calling atten-
tion to the passage respecting the city pumps.

THE 29TH CANON OF 1603.

Mr. H. SEYMOUR asked the Secretary of State for the
Home Department, whether it was truelhat the Convoca-
tion of York had postponed discussing the repeal of the 29th
Canon of 1603 until next November; if they had done so,
whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Government
to recommend that the Royal assent be given to the Canon
which had been recently passed by the. Convocation of
Canterbury, repealing the 29th Canon, and enacting another
' Canon in its place • and whether the' Canon Law, as con-
tained in the 29th Canon of 1603, respecting sponsors, was
not part of the Statute Law, it having been incorporated
in the English and Irish Acts of Uniformity of Charles II.;
and, if so, whether the Convention of the Irish Province, as
part of the United Church of England and Ireland, had, in
accordance with the letter and spirit of the Acts of Union,
been consulted respecting the proposed alteration in the law
respecting sponsors ?
Sir G. GREY said the. Government had no special infor-
mation as to the proceedings of Convocation. As regarded
the second question, there was no application made to Go-
vernment on the subject. With respect to the third ques-
tion, it hardly arose, as the royal assent had mot been asked
for.

THE LATE LORD CAMPBELL.

The will of the Right Hon. Baron Campbell,
Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain, of St.
Andrew's, Fifeshire ; Hartrigge-house, near Jed-
burgh ; and of Stratheden-house, Knightsbridge, at
which latter residence he died on the 23d June last,
aged 79, was proved in her Majesty's Court of
Probate on the 25th ult,, the executors nominated
being his three sons, the Right Hon. William Fre-
derick, Baron Stratheden and Campbell; the Hon.
Hallyburton G. Campbell, and the Hon. Dudley
Campbell, and his daughter, the Hon. Mary Scar-
lett Campbell. , The personalty wee sworn under
£120,000. Lord Campbell, on the decease of his
wife, Baroness Stratheden, made his will, bearing
date the 29th of March, 1860 ; but in 1857
he made a codicil, having reference solely
to the disposition of his Irish estates,
which he confirms in his will of 1860, the
two documents being taken conjointly by the Court
as Lord Campbell's last will. His lordship possessed
very considerable landed and personal property in
England, Scotland, and Ireland, which he has left
among his large family of sons and daughters. To
his eldest son, Baron Stratheden and Campbell, he
devises his Irish estates, with the exception of a
farm, which he bestows on his second 'son for life
but-the bulk of his property, real and personal, de-
volves to his eldest son, whom he has also appointed
residuary legatee. To his two sons, the Hon. Hai-
lyburton and Dudley Campbell, and to his two
daughters, the Hon. Mary Scarlett' and Cecilia
Campbell, he leaves legacies of £15,000 each; and
to his two married daughters, the Hon. Louisa
White and the Hon. Edina Blackburne, legacies of
£5,000 each, beyond what his lordship had previouly
bestowed upon these two latter ladies. He leaves
to his daughter, the Hon. Mary Scarlett Campbell,
who, he observes, was his faithful and valuable
assistant in his literary labours, all the manuscripts
and. other papers, which she is at liberty to publish
for her sole benefit. Lord Campbell bestows on his
eldest san the official robes which his lordship wore
IN hen filling the offices :of Chief Justice and Lord
High Claant:ellor, with the insignia of nobility and
those eof his high official distinction. All these
several articles Lord Campbell directs to be retained
as heirlooms. The will, which is very brief, is in
his lordship's handwriting ; but the codicil is rather
voluminous, and has been written by some other
person. The will is attested by his lordship's but-
ler and footman ; and the codicil by his lordship's
clerk, Mr. Charles Cooper, and his butler.--///us-

FALL OF AN .4EROLITE.

To THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.
Sir,—l was this day a witness of the fill of en
aerolite of, I believe, unprecedented size. As I vv. as
driving my wife and children in the vicinity of roY
house, a rushing sound, gradually increasing in
intensity, made itself heard, until at last, With
roar and a scream which still seem to ring in my
ears, a flaming mass plunged itself into the road at
the distance of a few yards from my pony's bead.
My wife and two children were naturally much
alarmed, so I directed some haymakers who were
at work in an adjoining field to dig for it while I
drove to a friend's house close by. The pony br )ke
out into a profuse perspiration, trembled all over,
and showed every sign of the greatest terror.
On my return to the spot, after an absence
of about 20 minutes, I found that the labourers
had succeeded in disinterring what proved a
most magnificent aerolite, of such a size and
weight es I do not be ieve to be on record. Its
shape is an irregular ellipse, the major axis being
116 inches. the minor axis 78 inches ; the weight
is 83-1-Ib. The men who dug it up informed tie
that it had buried itself nearly 6tt. in the ;;round'
and was redhot, when they reached it.
when I returned it was too-hot to be touched with
impunity by the naked hand. While cooling, the
crystals assumed, while constantly changing, the
mo,t beautiful prismatic hues. Its specific gravity
I have satisfactorily ascertained to be greater than
that of iron, but from the imperfect means of test-
ing at my command I am unable to determine the
exact ratio. At the moment of its fall the sky was
perfectly cloudless. A strong smell of sulphur was
diffused immediately after the descent, and I have
found several crystals of that element in the cavities
on the upper surface, which have escaped abrasion
from the soil. Perhaps some of your numerous
scientific correspondents will be able to state
whether I am right in my opinion as to its being
the largest on record, in which case I will present
it to whatever museum may be deemed the most
appropriate ; otherwise I shall deposit it in the
library of the Mechanics' Institute at Lancaster.
I remain, your obedient servant,

THE RUSSIAN NriVY.

The following details respecting the Russian
naval force are taken from official resources :—At
the end of 1860 the effective of the navy was—
Admirals, 95; other officers, 3,245; civil func-
tionaries, 966 ; and sailors and marines, 55,216.
The admirals, officers, and functionaries were fewer
than at the end of 1859, but the sailors were 2,200
more. Of the total, 10 admirals, 2,332 officers, and
32,728 sailors were destined to serve afloat, and the
rest for protecting the coasts. At the end of 1859
the fleet was thus composed :—Steam vessels-9
ships of the line, 22 frigates, 22 corvettes, 12 clip-
pers, 79 gunboats, 2 yachts, 25 schooners, 8 trans-
ports, 49 small steamers, 11 sloops, and 3 floating
batteries. These various vessels were of 36,935
horse power, and armed with 2,374 pieces of can-
non. Sailing vessels-10 ships of the line, 6 fri-
gates, 3 corvettes, 5 brigs, 17 schooners, 2 luggers,
3 tenders, 13 transports, and 12 yachts ; the num-
ber of guns being 1,477. The total number of ves-
sels was 313, and of guns, 3,851. In the year
1860 the fleet was increased by the launching of
the following vessels :—At St. Petersburg, a ship
of the line Emperor Nicholas 1., of 111 guns ;
frigate Osliabia, 45; a corvette, Bogatyr, 17; a
floating battery ; and various small vessels. At
Cronstadt, a screw frigate the Oleg, 57 guns, and

CONSOLIDATION OF THE STATUTE LAWS.

The LORD CHANCELLOR laid on the table
a bill for further consolidating the Statute Law.
He did not do so with the idea of further proceed-
ing with the measure this session, but merely that
it might be read a first time, in order to receive the con-
sideration of their lordships previous to the next meeting of
Parliament. The bill dealt with the sots from the
earliest dates and continued down to those passed
in the reign of Edward 111., in short it dealt
with all the acts contained in the first folio volume, published
by the Record Commission. The effect of thebill would be
to reduce that book to about one-fifth of its present size.
The bill was accordingly read a first time.
THE DUKE OF MODENA.

The Marquis of NORMANBY explained the reason he
did not intend to proceed with his motion for the production
of certain documents which stood in his name for that even-
ing. He had been informed that the friends of the Duke
of Modena intended publishing his defence, and there
was no further necessity of moving in the matter.'
THE BRITISH POSSESSIONS IN INDIA.

Lord MONTEAGLE presented a petition from the na-

tives in India, in Bengal, Behar, Orissa, Bombay, Madras,
and Tajore, representing the state of British possessions in
India.

Earl DE GREY said with regard to the petitions, that
in their main objects her Majesty's Government concurred,
and those which related to appointments in India had been
to a great extent anticipated in the bills which had passed
this session.

IMPORTANT TO OWNERS OF HORSES.-
After long experience, deep researches into chymistry,
by the aid of costly machinery, i have discovered the means
whereby oats, beans. and olicake may be entirely dispensed
with in the feeding of horses and cattle. I have now invented
a compound meal, composed of locust beans, Indian corn,
linseed, &c., at £l6 per ton, which is equal in value to £24
worth of oats, beans, or any other feeding material in the
market. Two quarts of this compound meal, weighing 3lbs.
at the cost of 5d., mixed with a peck of chopped hay, is a feed
far a draught horse; and superior in every respect to three
quarterns of oats, costing 7d. 14 barrels weigh net 1 ton 1
cwt., at 16s. per cwt., £l6 las. net cash, free, delivered by my
own waggons to any station in London. Nothing less than
21 cwt. sold at the manufactory, and orders must be accom-
panied with cheques crossed, made payable to the inventor,
JOSEPH THORLEY. Steam Mills, Caledonian-road,
King's-cross, April 8,1851.
Single barrels, weighing 1/ cwt., may be had for 305., at 77,

would adopt every legitimate means to prevent encroach-
ment by France on Switzerland, and that the hon. baronet
(Sir R. Peel) would exhibit in office the same interest and
zeal which he had done previously in reference to that
country. He hoped also that the Government would use
the great influence of this country to obtain fair play for
the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. From accounts, both
public and private, it appeared that that kingdom
was in 'a state bordering on anarchy, and that
it was deprived of ordinary protection to life
and property. He contended that the people
of Naples were kept down forcibly by the Piedmonteso
troops, and that these should evacuate that country in order
to enable the people to give a true expression of their
opinions as to whether they were not now desirous of being
under their own Sovereign than remaining a mere province
of Piedmont.
Lori PALMERSTON said, with respect to the first
question that had been put to him, it apt eared Alia the
King of Morocco had agreed to pay the Government of
Spain, in instalments, a certain sum of money as an
indemnity for the expenses incurred in the war.
From the wild character of tee people of Morocco, there
had been some difficulty in collecting the money for this
purpose, which led to the continued occupation of Tetuan
by Spain. He had no doubt that the Government of that
country had no desire to continue the occupation, which
was very expensive. With respect to the other questions,
he understood that the withdrawal of the Swiss troops
from Italy had been the act of the Swiss Govern-
ment. As related to the atrocities which were alleged to
have been committed in the neighbourhood of Naples, he
understood the perpetrators were parties who had been sent
from the Holy City for that purpose. The Government of
this country would not interfere to protect these brigands
in their atrocities. (Laughter.)
Mr. S. FITZGERALD contended that the intention of
Spain was to retain permanent possession of Tetuan, and
referred to a statement which appeared in a Madrid paper
in support of this statement.
Lord PALMERSTON said he hoped the Sultan of
Morocco would fulfil his agreement, and he was Ratified the
Spanish Government would carry out their contract.

toons is capable of sustaining a greater load than
Blanshard's cylinder pontoons, without sinking, the
total weight borne by the Pasley pontoon being
12,5001 b., or nearly 2cwt. more than Blanshard's.
The result of the experiments, however, again esta-
blished in a marked degree the superiority of Capt.
Fowke's invention over any other pontoon yet tried
against it. This pontoon floats easily, and is ex-
ceedingly light, while it can be quickly removed
when in the water, and is easily handled. The
weight placed upon it in the course of the trial was
was 14,2821 b., or 1,8981 b. more than that borne by
Blanshard's and 1,7681 b. more than Pasley's. Apart
from its superiority in this respect, the material of
which it is formed, a kind of canvas, enables it
when taken out of the water to be folded together
and transported with the greatest ease and facility,
an advantage not to be obtained in either of the other
description of pontoons. From the favourable opinion
expressed with regard to this pontoon by the Duke
of Cambridge when inspecting it at Chatham a few
days since, as well as the satisfactory results of the
trials made yesterday and the previous day, there
is little doubt that Capt. Fowke's invention will
ultimately supersede those now in use in the ser-
vice, and be generally adopted.
