RUSSIA.

A St. Petersburg letter of the 25th of May, says:
—" The funeral of Prince Orloff took place yester-
day, at ten o'clock. The Emperor, the Grand
Dukes, the Grand Duchess Maria-Nicolaevna, the
Prince of Oldenburg, and Duke George of Meck-
lenburg, arrived at the residence of the deceased,
on the Moika Quay. The regiment of Horse
Guards, which Prince Orloff formerly commanded,
and a brigade of artillery, lined the streets to
the church of the Annunciation, where the de-
ceased was to be interred. The Emperor, in the
uniform of the Guards, followed the hearse on
horseback, accompanied by the Grand Dukes
and all his military household. Next came the
diplomatic corps and the great dignitaries of State,
in carriages. Archbishop Isidore, the metropolitan,
with several archbishops and a numerous body of
clergy, preceded the hearse. According to estab-
lished usage, all the decorations of the deceased,
Russian and foreign, were borne on crimson velvet
cushions, by officers of the Guard, and placed round
the catafalque in the church. The coffin was
lowered into the vault immediately after the ser-
vice, Prince Nicholas Orloff, the deceased's son,
arrived two days before the funeral. By an order
of the day, dated yesterday, he was appointed aide-
de-camp-general to his Majesty, but will still retain
his functions as Minister at Brussels."

ceeding down the line drawn by two engines, when the
draw-bar of one of the trucks Lroke, and the draw-spring
fell on the rails. The hinder trucks ran on the spring, and
seven went off the line, and were, with their contents,
more or less injured. The tail of the train consisted of a
break-carriage with one goods truck behind. These re-

LEE V. PAGE.

His Honour, the Vice-Chancellor, in delivering judg-
ment, said—This bill was filed by Mr. Lee against his late
partner, Mr. Page, asking to take an account of his part-
nership business, and also asking to retain a portion of the
premium paid. It appeared that some time prior to the
year 1856, an agreement was entered into by them to carry
on business as solicitors and Mr. Page agreed to pay to Mr.
Lee, who had formerly been in business £l,OOO premium
on becoming a partner. The partnership capital was to be
£2,000 to be paid equally by each of the partners. With re-
gard to the premium of £l,OOO, which was to be paid to
Mr. Lee, the defendant Mr. Page was to pay down £750,
and the remaining £250 when the average of the profits of the
business amounted annually for the first two or three years
to £BOO. In Marcb,lBs9,a dissolution of the partnership took
place by mutual consent, and a question was raised whether
the premium paid should be retained by the plaintiff, or
returned to the defendant. His Honour declared that the
plaintiff was entitled to retain the portion of the premium
paid to him, and directed an account of the profits
of the partnership business to be taken for the first two or
three years, to ascertain whether the balance of the pre-
mium £250 is due. And also directed a general account of
the partnership business accounts to be taken up to the dis-
solution of the partnership. No costs of suit on either
side.

His Honour referred to chambers to take accounts of the
partnership business.

COURT OF DIVORCE,
(Before Sir Cresswell Cresswell, Judge Ordinary.)
SYMONS V. SYMONS.

This was a suit instituted by the wife for a dissolution of
marriage on the ground of her husband's adultery.

and cohabited at various places in Cornwall until 1859,
there being six children issue of the marriage. On the 2d

to a woman named Fanny Webb at Swansea, and lived
with her as her husband, lie (the respondent), was con-
victed of bigamy, in August, 1860, and sentenced to nine
months' imprisonment. The facts were proved by affidavit,
and a decree nisi with costs granted.

CAHILL V. CAHILL AND DINGLEY.

This suit was by the husband on the groxnd of the wife's
adultery. The respondent pleaded conjugal misconduct
against the petitioner. The co-respondent simply denied
the adultery.

Mr. Huddleston, Q.C., (with whom was Dr. Spinks)
yesterday moved for leave to plead the same plea as the
respondent on behalf of the Co-respondent.

Mr. Hawkins (with whom was Mr. Pritchard) opposed
the application.

Dr. Tristram, .for the respondent, said the proctor en-
gaged wished to have an opportunity of answering part of
the affidavit on which application was founded.

The case stood over till to .day, when the Judge Ordi-
nary granted the application, in order to allow the co-re..
spondent to put such pleas upon the file as he might be
advised.

HOSPITAL TOR CONSUMPTION AND

DISEASES OF THE CHEST.

The 20th annual general meeting of the sub-

in providing relief for the patients by clothes or
otherwise on leaving the hospital, exhibited sub-
scriptions £32 17s. 6d., donations £3l 17s. 6d., divi-

FIVE ARTS,

HISTORICAL EXHIBITION OF WATER-COLOUR

PAINTINGS.

We yesterday attended at the Private View of
this very attractive and deeply interesting collection
now open to public inspection in the Gallery of
the Society of Arts, john-street, Adelphi. The
collection is one of a somewhat unusual kind—
being composed of drawings lent by numerous pro-
prietors, her most gracious Majesty heading the
list of these munificent patrons of art—to the end
that a fund, or at any rate, the nucleus of a fund
may be collected for the building of a Female
School of Art. The drawings are arranged upon
the walls and screens of the apartment in which
they are exhibited, chronologically. They serve to
illustrate in a very delightful manner the growth
of this exquisite art here in England during
fully one century, coming down to our living art-
contemporaries. Conspicuous among the works
contributed by the latter are three at least, that
we would here, however briefly, enumerate. Yon-
der, in the place of honour, at the head of the room,
is a noble specimen of Edward Corbould, painted
by command of her Majesty, and of course the pro-
perty of the Sovereign. It represents the last
scene in Meyerbeer's Grand Opera of the Prophete
—the close of the gorgeous and daring career of
the crowned Anabaptist! Poked away in a corner
is Mr. Lewis's wonderful watercolour painting of
the Arab Scribe, with the shadowy flitting by of
the people out in the street seen through the
sashes of the window screen. Between the two
pictures already mentioned is a remarkable paint-
ing by Louis Haghe—some white-robed monks in
the choir, chanting. Scarcely a contribution upon
the walls, however, but deserves mention at the
hands of the critic—certainly demands more or less
of the visitor's attention. The catalogue will be
found a great help in the course of this examina-
tion. And we would here direct public attention
to the fact that the Exhibition will only remain
open about a fortnight.

The French duty on steel goods was almost prohibitory,
but they long since removed every possible obstacle to the

introduction of Herring's magnetic brushes, &c. Dr. Hassall
reports " I regard them as the most perfect brushes hitherto
made, as respects their mechanical construction, and their
magnetical action." They are the remedy for grey hair, neu-
ralgia, rheumatism, &c. N.B.—Counterfeits are being
made. Offices, 32, Basinghall-street, London.

LEE V. PAGE.

His Honour, the Vice-Chancellor, in delivering judg-
ment, said—This bill was filed by Mr. Lee against his late
partner, Mr. Page, asking to take an account of his part-
nership business, and also asking to retain a portion of the
premium paid. It appeared that some time prior to the
year 1856, an agreement was entered into by them to carry
on business as solicitors and Mr. Page agreed to pay to Mr.
Lee, who had formerly been in business £l,OOO premium
on becoming a partner. The partnership capital was to be
£2,000 to be paid equally by each of the partners. With re-
gard to the premium of £l,OOO, which was to be paid to
Mr. Lee, the defendant Mr. Page was to pay down £750,
and the remaining £250 when the average of the profits of the
business amounted annually for the first two or three years
to £BOO. In March,lBs9,a dissolution of the partnership took
place by mutual consent, and a question was raised whether
the premium paid should be retained by the plaintiff, or
returned to the defendant. His Honour declared that the
plaintiff was entitled to retain the portion of the premium
paid to him, and directed an account of the profits
of the partnership business to be taken for the first two or
three years, to ascertain whether the balance of the pre-
mium £250 is duo. And also directed a general account of
the partnership business accounts to be taken up to the dis-
solution of the partnership. No costs of suit on either
side.

His Honour referred to chambers to take accounts of the
partnership business.

COURT OF DIVORCE.
(Before Sir Cresswell Cresswell, Judge Ordinary.)
SYMONS V. SYMONS.

This was a suit instituted by the wife for a dissolution of
marriage on the ground of her husband's adultery.
Dr. Spinks represented the petitioner. There was no
appearance.

The parties were married on the Bth of September, 1846,
and cohabited at various plac3 in Cornwall until 1859,
there being six children issue of the marriage. On the 2d
of October 1859, the respondent was unlawfully married
to a woman named Fanny Webb at Swansea, and lived
with her as her husband. He (the respondent), was con-
victed of bigamy, in August, 1860, and sentenced to nine
months' imprisonment. The facts were proved by affidavit,
and a decree nisi with costs granted.
London, England, 1861-06-01

CAVILL V. CAHILL AND DINGLEY.

This suit was by the husband on Ihe ground of the wife's
adultery. The respondent pleaded conjugal misconduct
against the petitioner. The co-respondent simply denied
the adultery.

Mr. Huddleston, Q.C., (with whom was Dr. Spinks)
yesterday moved for leave to plead the same plea as the
respondent on behalf of the co-respondent.
Mr. Hawkins (with whom was Mr. Pritchard) opposed
the application.
Dr. Tristram, for the respondent, said the proctor en-
gaged wished to have an opportunity of answering part of
the affidavit on which application was founded.
The case stood over till to .day, when the Judge Ordi-
nary granted the application, in order to allow the co-re-
spondent to put such pleas upon the file as he might be
advised.
London, England, 1861-06-01

THE INDIAN NAVY.

Sir G. BOWYER asked the Secretary of State for India
if any decision had been arrived at with regard to the
future of the Indian navy ; and, if so, when it would be
made known ? Has the report of the civil finance
commission (recommending a wholesale reduction of
the Indian navy on economical grounds) been
received by Govanament ; and if it was their intention to
adopt the report; if a reduction or abolition of the service
was contemplated, what course was it the intention of
Government to pursue with regard to the officers ?
Sir C. WOOD said that no decision had been arrived at
on this subject. It was quite correct that there had been
recommendations from the commission in question to the
effect that there should be a reduction in the Indian navy,
and the subject was under consideration of Government.
THE FRESCOES OF THE HOUSES OF
PARLIAM ENT.

Mr. C. BENTINCK asked the First Commissioner m
Works, whether he had been informed that the frescoes in
the Houses of Parliament are showing symptoms of decay ;
and, if so, whether he would institute proper inquiries to
ascertain the cause of such decay.
Mr. CO WPEI3. said that the frescoes in the corridors of
the House of Commons were in a perfect condition, but in
some others of the frescoes there were appearances of dis-
coloration. There was no necessity for instituting an en-
quiry into the matter, for the discoloration could not have
been prod weed by the dampness of the walls, considering the
space intervening between them and the frescoes. The
cause of this discoloration was, that the artists who exe-
cuted these frescoes were not, at the time, conversant with
the preparation of colours for these frescoes, but any inju-
ries that had taken place could easily be repaired.

CHURCH ESTATES WITHIN THE DIOCESE OF
WORCESTER.

Mr. G. HARDY asked the hon. member for Kilmarnock
why lessens of Church Estates within the diocese of Wor-
cester, who had made contracts for the enfranchisement of
their leaseholds prior to the late avoidance of that see, and
held the money ready for that purpose, were delayed in
the completion of those contracts for want of the
usual order in Council ; whether the delay in
issuing such order arises from any conflict of opinion upon
the meaning of the existing law; and, if so, whether any
legislature measure was contemplated to relieve, as soon
as possible, such lessees from the same.
Mr. BOUVERIE explained that legal difficulties had
arisen which prevented the Ecclesiastical Commission
dealing with this property as they had done with other
church estates.
PROPOSED NA.TIVE COUNCIL IN NEW ZEA-
London, England, 1861-06-01

THAMES EMBANKMENT BILL.

Mr. COWPER begged to correct an error in the state-
ment which he made in reference to this bill when lit was
before the house the other evening. He said that
the bill was promoted by the London, Dover, and
Chatham Railway Company. He found that that com-
pany had declined to take any part in the undertaking,
which was promoted by another company.

VESSELS AND TONNAGE, &c.

Mr. HORSFALL moved for a return, showing the
number of vessels and tonnage entered inwards and cleared
outwards at the twelve principal ports of the UniteiKing-
dom ; also the official and declared value of imports and
exports for each of the said ports, during the year 1860 (in
continuation of Parliamentary paper, No. 450, of session
1860).—Ordered.
THE EVICTIONS AT DERRYREAGH.

Mr. SCULLY gave notice that on Monday next he
would ask the Chief Secretary for Ireland when the Go-
vernment would fix a day for the discussion of the subject,
which was a matter of great interest in Ireland.
ALLEGED GRIEVANCES IN THE POST-
OFFICE.

Sir G. BOWYER asked the Chancellor of the Exche.
quer when the Post-office report would be laid before Par.
liament, and what her Majesty's Government were pre.
pared to do for the redress of grievances in the Post-office

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that
there were several papers relating to the subject of the
administration of the Post-office which were under the con-
sideration of the Government. He was not able to give an
answer to the question of the hon. member as to laying any
papers relating to the matter before the house, but Le
hoped shortly to supply full information on the subject.

HOSPITAL FOR CONSUMPTION AND

DISEASES OF TILE CHEST.

The 20th annual general meeting of the sub-
scribers to this most valuable institution wag' held
on Thursday in the board-room of the hospital.
Amongst those present were—Lieut.-Gen. the
Hon. Thos. Asbburnham, C.B. ; Capt. the Hon. F.
Maude, R.N. ; Sir Peter Van Notten Pole, Bart. ;
Dr. R. Dickson, and Messrs. F. J. Augarde, R. C.
L. Bevan, T. M. Bridges, C. Few, jun. ; Otho
Hamilton, J. Howard, I'. P. Beckwith, P. Rose
(hon. sec.), &o.
In the absence of the Marquis of Westminster the
Rev. Sir Henry Foulis, Bart., took the chair.
The report, as read by Mr. Rose, stated that the
number of in-patients admitted during the year had
been 895, and that 180 had been in the house on the
31st of December, 1859. Of the 1,075 under treat-
ment 729 had been discharged greatly relieved, 158
had died, and 188 remained in the hospital. The
applications for relief had been very numerous, and
the committee remarked that the full number of
beds (200) had been during the year continuously
occupied, and there had been 231 applicants
at one time waiting for admission, showing a
large . increase on former years.' The out-
patients, who attended from . all parts of Lon-
don, Middlesex, Surrey, Bucks, Kent, Sussex,
and other adjacent counties, had numbered
during the past year 5,070, as against 4,647 and
3,971 in the preceding two years. The committee
concluded by gratefully acknowledging their deep
obligations to those friends whose valuable co-ope-
ration and generous assistance so much assist such
an important work of public usefulness. The cash
account showed the following result :—Annual
subscriptions £4,129 45., donations £4,220 3s. 6d.,
incidental receipts £9O 16s. Bd., interest on deposits
£llO hi., dividends £57 6s. 6d., charity sermons
£468 125., legacies £2,224 35., rents of the hospital
estates, &c,, £405185. 4d., and after payment of all
charges a balance remains in hand of £7ll 19s. 6d.
The Rose Fund, established from funds raised for a
memorial picture of Mr. Rose, and applied at that
gentleman's desire for the formation of a fund to be
applied with such contributions as might be obtained
in providing relief for the patients by clothes or
otherwise on leaving the hospital, exhibited sub-
scriptions £32 17s. 6d., donations £3l 17s. 6d., divi-
dends £25 Bs. 2d., other sources £22 155., balance
in hand £39 12s. ld., with cash distributed to the
objects of the fund £lO2 155., and stock £BB9 4s. 3d.
The report was adopted, and the Hon. Thomas
Alexander Pakenha.m, Messrs. W. A. Mackinnon,
jun., M.P., and T. Hue ham were chosen to fill the
vacancies in the board of management. Cordial
votes of thanks were passed to the committee, the
medical offiers, &c., all of whom were re-elected,
and the proceedings terminated with a vote of
thanks to the chairman.

THE ARMY.

The whole of the tents for the officers and men of
the 2d battalion at Chatham who have been selected
to be placed under canvas, having been pitched
within the Spur-redoubt, Fort Amherst, orders
were issued yesterday afternoon by Major-
General Eyre, directing two of the depots
of that battalion to vacate their quarters at Chatham
barracks this morning and occupy the tents. In
order to preserve the strictest discipline among the
troops under canvass the number of soldiers mount-
ing guard within the camp is to be largely aug-
mented.

A number of convalescent troops who have
recently arrived at Chatham from India, sick and
disabled, are ordered to leave that garrison to-
morrow, and will be forwarded to join their respec-
tive depots in Scotland.
A detachment of the 3d brigade of Royal Artillery
yesterday left head-quarters, Woolwich, for the
school of gunnery at Shoeburyness, for instruction
in the Armstrong gun drill. The detachment con-
sisted of Major J. M. Ommanney, Capt. E. T. Pur-
cell, Lieu ts. R. S. Farquhar, T. C. Cooke, and J.
M. Saunders ; 7 sergeants,
.6 corporals, 6 bom-
bardiers, 165 gunners, and 2 trumpeters; total, 191.
The detachment was accompanied by 14 women and
9 children.
