PROTECTION OF PROPERTY IN PUBLIC MUSEUMS.
The Bill fur this purpose now before the House of Commons,
which was brought in on Monday by the Solicitor-General,
enaets—That if any person shall maliciously destroy or
damage anything contained or kept in any public museum,
gallery, cabinet, library, or other public repository, whether
such thing be or be not of any intrinsic value, every such
person so offending shall be guilty of misdemeanor, and being
duly convicted thereof, shall be liable to be imprisoned, with
or without hard labour, for any period not exceeding two
years; and, if a male, during the period of such Imprison-
ment be once, twice, or thrice publicly or privately whipped,
in such manner and form as the Court, before which such
person shall be tried, shall direct.
HER MAJESTY'S STEAMER SCOURGE.—This vessel
made an experimental trip down the River on Tuesday, as
far as sea reach, for the purpose of testing her machinery.
She was designed by the Surveyor of the Navy, and built at
Portsmouth. The Scourge is 190 feet long, 36 feet beam, and
21 feet deep; tonnage 1,120. She is fitted with a pair of
Maudsley and Field's double cylinder engines, of the collective
power of 420 horses; there are four cylinders, each 54 inches
diameter, and 6 feet length of stroke; the proper number of
revolutions, when she is at her load draft (13 feet 6 inches)
is 17 per minute; but having none of her guns or stores on
board, the drart was only 11 feet 3 inches mean (10 feet 2
inches forward and 12 feet 4 inches aft), and the wheels
having too little immersion, the revoldtions were 23, and ,
occasionally 24, per minute. At this speed, the pistons were
travelling at the rate of 288 feet per minute, and the boilers,
which are of the tubular description, supplied more steam
than was required, the throttle-valves being full open during
the whole run. Her speed was tried in Long-reach at the
immured distance and found to he 11 knots or 12'% miles
per hour.
ETON COLLEGE.—An extra week's holiday has
been given to the school this Easter, which will have the

quested and obtained an additional week's holiday at Christ-
mas the extra holiday was not then given, hat postponed
till Easter.
