penditure is allowed, or is there a limit drawn 1
so that in matters of a local character the autho-
, rities in the yards may exercise their judgment and
report periodically ? Must the proposal of the
superintendent to purchase any article be submitted
to the Admiralty whether the cost be considerable
or only a few shillings.?
The Duke of Somerset—lf the superintendent
wishes to purchase anything in a town I suppose it
would be something in the nature of a store, and
ought to be obtained from the storekeeper. I think
it objectionable that money should be spent in
dockyards in the way referred to, unless in case of
great necessity and emergency, without any com-
munication with the Admiralty.
Lord C. Paget—Looking at the enormous cost of
the building of ships, can you say whether an in-
quiry by officers whose sole business should be to
criticise the drawings, the lines, and every other
detail of the vessels, assisted by a council composed
of scientific men, or master shipwrights in the dock-
yards, and others—would not that, on the whole,
give the public the best guarantee that can be
afforded that these matters should be duly inquired
into before the public are put to the expense of
building these new and costly vessels ?
The Duke of Somerset—When a new and expen-
sive vessel is to be built as one of a class of such
vessels as we are building at present, it is desirable
in every way we can to obtain information. I think
an inquiry that will give us further knowledge is
most desirable in any way. But there is great
difficulty in obtaining the sort of information we
require. Say we require to build a ship of such a
class as has never been tried at sea, and men who
are not naval men, and men who are naval men, are
unable to give us any accurate knowledge of what
will be the condition of the ship when it is built,
there is no experience to guide us. But I think it
would be most desirable that every inquiry should
'be made on the subject ; short of this, that when
the vessel is ordered, if it is ordered to be built and
the lines ordered by the Comptroller of the Navy,
he should not be required to give the lines or re-
commend the ship unless he thoroughly approves
of it. The lines adopted by any committee should
not be forced upon him. But, short of that, any
inquiry is desirable. _

Lora C. Paget—Tow, "as to inventions. Do you
not think that inventions should be submitted to
the Comptroller, and that a committee should be
appointed to examine aria report upon inventions ?
The Duke of Somerset—There is Tina:, a oommit-
tee, consisting of two or three officers, at Somerset-
house, to whom inventions are referred. It is very
desirable to relieve the Comptroller from the duty
of considering the great number of inventions that
are sent in to the Admiralty. The question of iron
shipbuilding should be submitted to a committee of
competent men.
The committee then adjourned.

try, and free intercourse founded on commercial treaties.
In the case of Hungary the principle of non-intervention
had been violated, not only in this matter, but in the case
of the Kossuth notes. The noble lord had even gone so far
as to tell Sir James Hudson to keep an eye on Kossuth.
The noble lord at one time forgot that he had done so, but
now he remembered.

Lord J. RUSSELL—No, Ido not. (Laughter.)
Mr. DUNCOMBE—Another miserable attack on Kos•
such was the refusal to let him be director of a railway, lest
be might thus get means for fomenting a revolution in Hun-
gary. After one or two further observations the hon. mem-
ber concluded by declaring that he should divide the house.
Mr. B. COCHRANE denied that the noble lord had
shown any predilection for the interests of Austria in Italy.
The house then divided, when the numbers were :

STATE OF MADE.

MANCHESTER, April 23.—The market remains

be clay the aspect is rather quieter, but this may
li,nierely an ordinary pause after increased acti-
kj. Owing to the high rates of cotton, producers

,Vees which check transactions. It appears that a
6,,nsiderable business has been done in India and
Oa cloths since last Tuesday, at an advance of
gaud rather
to 3d. per piece for shirtings. There is a steady
rather more active demand also for T cloths,
gaull:4a fair sale has taken place in these fabrics at
hardening rates.
The better sorts of printing cloth
gape advanced a little in price, but other qualities

entirely neglected. The market for yarns to-day
bil been very Stiff, and there is not much actual
illness, owing to the high and still rising prices
rted by spinners, Such as it is, the business is
iittc,ll.l3' divided between German and Mediterranean
Iles, as well as those operating for India and
'ma though all Continental demand remains very
talitious.

i„'4 ROCHDALE, 22d.—There is little change to notice
the flannel and wool trades to-day. There has
been a fair attendance, but the aspect of affairs both
t‘ home and abroad is not of that character to give
buoyancy to the commercial world. Wools are
held firmly at the topmost prices of last week, which '
are not freely given by manufacturers. Yorkshire

are making more inquiries for matchings,
Tlyt are purchasers of long wool to a fair extent.
'Le Manufacturers are moderately active, but they
report that orders are rather slack, London and
'tiler wholesale dealers apparently delaying as long
rpossible before they enter upon the fall trade.
rices are firm. The operative fullers still demand
411 advance of something like ls. per day upon
'Teir ages, and the slubbers, too, it is said,

ealces, it may be expected that manufacturers are

THE PRICE OF GOLD.

and
quotation of gold at Paris is about 3 per mile preen.,
64'4 the short exchange on London is 25.15 per £1 sterling.
178
._l2,lParing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
• tu4d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
-4cnit 4-lOths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris.
advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 425 per mark,
'll,l the short exchange on London is 13.5 per £1 sterling.
the
gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about
'he same pries in London as in Hamburg.
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
days' sight is to 7 to ion perzent., which, when compared
t
h the Mint par between the two countries, shows that the
i:change is against England. But, after making allowance
t loss of interest and charges ot transport, the present
kte leaves no profit on sending gold to the United States.

The late Mrs. Shedden Watson has bequeathed

MPE RIAL PA RLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS-YESTERDAY.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack
at five o'clock.
THE MARRIAGE LAW.

The Earl of IsIALMESBITRY presented a petition from
Bournmouth praying that no alteration in the law to
legalise marriage with a deceased wife's sister would
be assented to. The noble lord said great interest had been
excited on this question, but he trusted the division that
had taken place the other evening in the House of Com-
mons would be taken as an expression of feeling on the sub-
ject, and render it unnecessary to take further steps in the
matter.

THE lONIAN ISLANDS.
The Marquis of NORMANBY moved for copies of recent
despatches from the lonian Islands. The noble lord took
the opportunity of correcting some mistake that had arisen
in the lonian Islands respecting the observations he had
addressed to their lordships on a former occasion.
The Duke of NEWCASTLE said the papers would be
laid before their lordships very shortly, as they had already
been moved for in the House of Commons.

TIIE ARMY.

The report that the Ist battalion 11th Regiment
would proceed to Dublin in the Macduff and Mel-
bourne merchant transport vessels from Portsmouth,
the latter towing the former, is incorrect. So far
as is known at present, the regiment will be sent by
Bristol, the detachment on duty at Weymouth pro-
ceeding thence direct.

The 78th Highlanders, stationed at Edinburgh
Castle, have received orders to move to Aldershot.
They will embark at Granton Pier in transports, in
four different divisions, on the 27th April, let, 4th,
and Bth of May. The regiment has been in Edin-
burgh for 14 months, its arrival having been greeted
by an immense and enthusiastic turnout of the in-
habitants, and two months later they were enter-
tained at a public banquet. A few days ago the
corps was reviewed by Major-General Walker, and
pronounced in a fine state of discipline. They are
to be succeeded at Edinburgh by the 26th (Came-

roniar.s).
In consequence of the death of Lieut.-Gen. Sir C.
Pasley, the following promotions will take place,
viz.,—Major-Gen. W. H. Ord, to be Colonel-Com-
mandant; Col. Alexander Gordon to be Major-
General ; Lieut.-Col. F. Lloyd to be Colonel; Capt.
G. Bent to be Lieutenant-Colonel.
The colonelcy of the 41st Regiment has :become
vacant by the death of General Repington, C.B.

DREADFUL DEATH BY BURNING.—On Friday
night Mrs. Seaton, wife of Sergeant Seaton, of the 51st
Regiment, was fearfully burnt by a fire which occurred
in a room where she lodged near Wood-street, Brompton,
Kent. When the Barnes had bcea got under,
the woman was taken out by a cabman. Sho was found
lying under a table, and was frightfully burnt—quite black.
Dr. Burton was in immediato attendance, but held out no
hopes of the recovery of the sufferer, who was a young
woman only 25 years of age. Sergeant Seaton had married

Translated from the German 01 Dr. PICKFORD.

" Dr. fickiord 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 correot."—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 Spermatorrhcea and the
various forms of disease which resemole 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
any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ;
but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places
it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."—

DREADFUL DEATH BY BURNING.—On Friday
night Mrs. Seaton, wife of Sergeant Seaton, of the 51st
Regiment, was fearfully burnt by a fire which occurred
in a room where she lodged near Wood-street, Brompton,
Kent. When the flames had been got under,
the woman was taken out by a cabman. She was found
lyiig under a table, and was frightfully burnt—quite black.
Dr. Burton was in immediate attendance, but held out no
hopes of the recovery of the sufferer, who was a young
woman only 25 years of age. Sergeant Seaton had married
without leave, and his wife was not allowed to live with
him in the hut barracks; he was roused in the night by
tidings of the dreadful disaster which bad befallen his
young wife. When the unfortunate woman was taken up
by the cabman, whose name is Skelton, her flesh came off
in his hands, her clothes having been wholly destroyed by
the fire. The spectacle was frightful, and the sufferer only
survived the accident a few hours.

THE EDINBURGH 7L

SIGNAL.

On Monday the important operation was com
menced of suspending the wire between Edinburgh
Castle and the Calton-hill, which is to be the means
of discharging at 1 o'clock, daily, a signal gun
from the Castle, the time being given by the elec-
tric clock in the Royal
Observatory, Calton-hill.
The distance in mid air from the turret at the
Argyll battery to Nelson's Monument, Calton-hill,
where a time-ball signal has 1300 in operation for
several years, is 4,200 feet, above three-quarters of
a mile, and over that distance the wire has been
suspended without a rest. It was at one time in-
tended that the wire should be the medium of an
electric current passing along simultaneously with
the dropping of the time-ball, and discharging the
gun at the Castle; but the plan has been changed,
and, instead, a clock has been fitted up beside the
gun, the movement of which is, by means of the
wire, to be controlled by the electric clock in the
Observatory. The timepiece thus regulated drops
at the proper moment a small weight, which
touches a lever, the action of which liberates a
heavy weight, and the fall of the latter releases
the lock, and the fulminating powder in the fuse
ignites by this action and discharges the gun.
The action of the whole mechanism is instanta-
neous, and all that the gunner has to do pre-
viously is to place the heavy weight so as to be
caught by the small lever moved by the action of
the clock, and to insert the fuse in the touch-
hole of the gun. The suspending of the wire, at
an elevation of from 150 to 200 feet, was one of
considerable difficulty. It was commenced at four
o'clock on Monday morning by paying out from the
Castle, and in the course of its progress to the
Calton-hill, which was not reached till about one
o'clock, four rests were employ ed—namely, at the
head of the Mound, on the roof of the railway
station, on the new buildings, North-bridge, and on
the Prison buildings. The wire was carried for-
ward from station to station by means of a rope
drawn by seamen and others, and at length the end
was fastened in safety at Nelson's Monument, where
it was brought into connexion with the wire from
the Observatory to the time-ball signal. After the
cable had been thus swung in five different portions,
the operation of tightening it and raising it in mid
air was commenced. Considerable difficulty was
experienced in clearing the trees in Princes-street-
gardens, and various preparations throughout the
line caused no little delay. After the operation had
made some progress it was found necessary to post-
pone till next morning the final raising of the wire,
which was to be accomplished by coiling it round
the drum in the Castle turret till it became
straightened in the air. It was originally suggested
that the gun itself should be placed on the Calton-
hill, but it was feared that its discharge would
affect the instruments at the Observatory' imme-
diately adjacent,

INCOME AND PROPERTY TAX.

This committee met again yesterday—Mr. Hub.
bard in the chair.

Mr. Newmarch, secretary to the Globe Insurance
Company, continued his evidence from the previous
day's sitting of the committee. He said he had
not the slightest doubt that if the income tax was
modified on the principles suggested by the chair-
man's plan, the public would be much more satis-
fied with it—not that he believed the public3would
ever be quite reconciled to an income tax. He was
entirely against a graduated income tax, because it
was taxing a man for doing good for himself and
good for others ; it was punishing prudence and
virtue. If the English funds were subject to an
income tax of 20 per cent. that would no doubt affect
their value in every market, both home and foreign.
After some evidence as to life insurance, the
witness, in reply to questions by Mr. Cardwell, said
he thought a different mode of classification and
collecting the income tax to that at present in
existence might be adopted, which would not be so
'open to objections as the present law. It was his
opinion that taxes which were generally levied
upon articles of consumption were more favourably
regarded by a scientific eye than any income tax
could. Supposing the case' of a landowner of an
entailed estate, who, having children, for whom,
if he was a reasonable man, he would make
some savings ; he did not propose to take into
account at all whether that man had children or
not, and he would therefore make no exemptions in
such cases. Speaking of a class of gentlemen in
this kingdom who own entailed estates, no doubt,
in some cases, they, made savings for their younger
children ; but in many cases the younger children
were otherwise provided for. It was his opinion
that the pressure of taxation was more bearable by
persons holding land than persons whose income
was in the shape of money or was acquired by in-
tellectual labour. Taking the cases of a country
clergyman with a living of £2OO a year and a
sleeping partner in one of the wealthiest firms in
the metropolis, the difference appeared to him to
be this—the sleeping partner was liable to all the
exigencies of trade, and to have all his property
swept away by bankruptcy, to none of which con-
tingencies was the country clergyman liable.
The witness, in reply to questions by the chair-
man, gave some further evidence, after which the
committee adjourned.

since his accession to the throne, especially in
the great measure of the emancipation of the
serfs, are a certain token of his desire to realise like-
wise the ameliorations admitted by the state of
things in Poland. It is only to be wished that he may
not be prevented from so doing by manifestations of
such a nature as to place the dignity of the politi-
cal interests of the Russian Empire in antagonism
with the tendencies a its Sovereign."
It is true that France, like England, could not,
without kindling a general war, afford military aid
to Poland. But France as well as England can
afford valuable moral aid. There is much reason to
hope that ALEXANDER 11. is not exactly the man
to defy the moral sense of Europe, especially as
expressed by England and France. Bad as the
late massacres, therefore have been, it is wiser not
to refer them directly to the Czar till he compels
us to do so. Let them be the mismanagement of
subordinates. Let the CZAR be dealt with as an
emancipator of serfs, and, therefore, a ruler from
whom Poland may have hope—above all, let the
attitude of the Poles be that of the Hungarians.
Let them restrain themselves ; let them ask for
undeniable treaty rights—the rights of 1815 first,
let them do this peacefully, and their turn must
come.

7.118 EARL OF DERBY.

PHOTOGRAPHED BY MATALE.

A magnificent series of photographic portraits
has with this remarkable picture been commenced.
Mr. Mayall is evidently bent upon surpassing him-
self—and London, more particularly the west-end
of London, knows well enough ty this time his
already high repute, his many brilliant, and some
of them really extraordinary, successes as a photo-
grapher. The series, of which the production here
particularised is the initial number or instalment, is
designed by Mr. Mayall to supply the general pub-
lic with "the counterfeit presentment" of our leading
men of eminence. And it begins, not inappropriately,
with one of the foremost men in all England, the
noble earl the late Premier, now Leader of her
Majesty' Opposition, ald the leader once more (not
impossibly ere long) her Britannic Majesty's
Government. It is a grand, noble, vigorous face in
its way—severe in its expression, but full of genius
and of intensity—keer, clear, piercing intelligence
in the eagle eye—resolute determinatiop in every
line about the motth the very character of
countenance one woult expect to find as the reflec-
tion of Lord Derby Apon the mirror of the pho-
tographer. We heittily wish success to Mr.
Mayall's new and trulr admirable enterprise.
