WAY.—The third section of this line, from Evesham to
Wolvercot, near Oxford, will be opened on the 7th of
May, instead of the 2d, as recently announced.
PROSPECTS OF THE BAR.—As an example of the de-
clining state of the learned profession, we may mention
that no less than 22 sets of chambers are now to be let in
the Middle Temple alone, which numbers 250.
VALUE OF WASTE PAPER.—A SUM of not less than
£12,000 to £15,000 annually will be saved to the country

THE BISHOP ELECT OF LINCOLN.—On Tuesday
silver salver was presented to the new bishop of Lincoln
by the teachers and children of the schools of St. James's,
Westminster, as a small token of their affection and
gratitude.
EXTRAORDINARY DIGESTION. —On cutting open a
cow at Homeburn, a few days ago, there was found in its
inside a large table knife, which, with the exception of
a small portion of the point protruding between the ribs,
was in good condition, and not at all corroded.
THE Nottinghanz Journal announces the fact that a
proposal is afoot in the metropolis of the lace district to
establish " a general commercial exchange," to be go-
verned and managed upon the same principles as are ob-
served in those of Liverpool and Manchester.
THE SHAKSPERE FESTIVAL —A demonstration in
honour of the natal day of Shakspere took place on Tues-
day at Stratford-upon-Avon, and was celebrated with all
due honours. An immense number of " pilgrims" to
the shrine of the poet came into the town from Birmir z-
ham, Oxford, and the surrounding neighbourhood. In
the evening a dinner took place at the Town Hall, at
which Mr. B. Webster presided.
A GOVERNMENT BILL was printed, on Thursday. to
consolidate the London and Edinburgh Gazettes. The
reason is, the great expense at present incurred by reason
of the separate publication and management of the two
Gazettes. After the passing of the bill, the Gazette, to
be called the London and Edinburgh Gazette, is to be
published in London, and a permanent agency in Edin-
burgh.
STEAM BETWEEN GERMANY AND AMERICA.—Messrs.
Fritze and Co., of Bremen, are on the eve of commencing
a spirited competition against the two United States
steamers, Washington and Hermann. They intend to run
the two steamers, Hansa, 2000 tons and 1,000 horse-
power, and the Germania, 1,600 tons and 600 horse-
power, which they recently purchased from the German
fleet, between Bremen and New York. They will start
once a- month, and take the same course and touch at the
same places as the United States steamers.
PREMATURE BALDNESS.—Mr. J. Sergeant, bookseller,
of Linton, Cambridge, has made public acu 'ous case of
a young man named Haylock, of Ashdo ose hair came
off entire from some very unacco le cause, and left
him in a state of premature dness. He purchased
from Mr. Sergeant severe pular preparations, which he
applied, but without effect whatever. At last, how-
ever, he made tri of the macassar oil of Messrs. Row-
lands, of Lou , and exhibited to the most incredulous
the proof s efficacy in a thick crop of hair. Mr. Ser-
geant wits a direct reference to him on this very inter-
esting fact.—The Observer. _ _

ADULTERATION OF COFFEE.—TheLancet of last week
contains a remarkable statement of the extent and manner
in which the recent regulation for preventing the adultera-
tion of coffee is being evaded. Out of 34 samples, all
purchased as coffee from as many shops in the metropolis,
only three were found to be genuine, the proportion of
chicory in the majority of cases being equal to about 50
per cent., while in some instances there was scarcely any
coffee whatever. Ten of the adulterated samples were
altogether without the required label, stating them to be
a "mixture of chicory and coffee," and in those where it
existed it was generally concealed from immediate obser-
vation by the mode of folding the wrapper.
THE CO INA GE.—A Parliamentary paper, just published,
contains an account of all gold, silver, and copper moneys
of the realm coined at the Royal Mint from the Ist Jan-
uary to the 31st March, 1853 :-4,304,227 sovereigns were
coined in that period ' • their value was £4,304,227 2s. 3d.,
and their weight 92,1181 b. 3oz. 9dwts. 16gr. Half-
sovereigns coined—number, 62,260; weight, 6661 b. 20z.,
19dwts. 10gr.; value, £31,130 Bs. 4d. ; making the
total value of the gold coinage during the quarter
£4,335,357 10s. 7d. Of silver money, 382,214 florins were
coined, to the value of £38,214 ; 847,440 shillings, value
£42,372 ; 483,120 sixpences, value £12.078 • 4,158 four-
pences, value £69 61.; 4,488 threepences, value £562d. ;
4,752 twopences, value £39 12s. ; 7,920 silver penny
pieces, value £33—total value of the silver coinage during
the quarter, £92,862.
CHEAP Lmv.—ln the Insolvent Debtors' Court the
other day, some information was given respecting the
comparative expense of the superior and county courts.
The commissioner having remarked that the action in the
case before him had been brought in one of the superior
courts, he wished to know the difference in the expense of
going to the superior and the county courts. An attorney
stated that, in cases under £2O, judgment could be ob-
tained now in a superior court,. where no appearance
was entered, for £2 165., whereas in a county court it
would cost £4. Another attorney said that in the county
courts the fees out of pocket were upwards of £3, and in
the superior courts only ss. For a summons to £2O
in a county court the fee was £1 135., and the hearing
fee upwards of £3, even by consent, whereas in the
superior court an order could be drawn up for 4s.

ELECTRICITY IN THE HOUSE OF COMNIONS.—In the
course of the last few days an electric telegraph station has
been opened adjacent to the lobby, by the Electric Tele-
graph Company, for the use of parties engaged in parlia-
mentary proceedings, and direct telegraphic communication
is thereby obtained with all parts of the country, and
intelligence transmitted to the provinces of divisions and
debates. Operations were commenced for placing an
electric clock over the principal entrance V) the lobby,
and a general system has just been introduced of notifying
to members in all parts of the house the precise moment
of a division by the electrical ringing of 30 bells in various
directions, the bells being set in motion by an apparatus
in charge of one of the officers of the house at the lobby
door. Wires are also being carried from the house to the
Carlton, Reform, and other clubs, for the intercommuni-
cation and information of members.

THE GREAT ENCAMPMENT. Captain Blackwood
Price's field-battery, quartered at Shorncliff, have received
orders to hold themselves in readiness to join the camp to
be formed on Chobham-common, near, Windsor,:in the be-
ginning of June next. The battery is composed of 6,
guns, 85 horses, and 1M non-commissioned officers and
men. The officers who will accompany it to camp are.
Captain Blackwood Price, Captain James R. Gibbon.
Lieutenant Francis Miller, .Lieut. Frederick S. Seale,
Lieutenant Charles Lennox Tredcroft, and Assistant-
Surgeon William Perry. Captain F. A. Campbell's field.
battery at Chatham, of similar strength, has also been
ordered to join the camp at the same time. The 6.h
Dragoon Guards (carabineers), under the command of
Lieut-Colonel H. R. Jones, at present stationed at Can-
terbury, and the 13th Light Dragoons, under the com-
mand of Lieutenant-Colonel Charles E. Doherty, at
present stationed at Hounslow, will form a portion of the
Cavalry Brigade.
OPERATIONS of THE NEW LEGACY DUTY.—The full
bearing of the application of the legacy duty to land we pre-
sume the Chancellor does not see, and, therefore, we
will say a word or two on it. Beyond a certain affinity
the legacy duly is 10 per cent. " Well," many may say,
" we would not mind giving up to the Chancellor of the
Exchequer 10 per cent. of the estate if any one would
leave us one." That is very well in its way, but just let
us look at the arithmetical operations of the tax. The 10
Per cent. is not a 10 per cent. of one or two years' in-
come, but 10 per cent. of the value of the property,
which to avoid inconveniently sacrificing the principal.
says the Chancellor, he consents to spread over 8 years'
rent. Now, much of our landed property pays only 2to
21 per cent. For simplicity of calculation say 2 per cent.
Thus for 8 years the fortunate legatee receives only 2
10-B—i per cent., the other l going to the crown, or
out of £l,OOO per annum he receives £375. But suppose
at the end of 4 years this legatee should die (no unlikely
occurrence), and leave his property to a second party,
removed as far in blood propinquity from him as he was
r from the first testator, a second 10 per cent of the value
of the same property will have to be paid during 8 years,
the first being also in the course of liquidation. For
remember, Mr. Gladstone says the two duties co-exist.
Then for 4 years the two 10 per cents. will make up 2/
per cent. annual charge, or / per cent. more than the
rent. So that the second legatee would have to pay a
per cent. instead of receiving anything from the coveted
legacy—that is, in place of an accession to his income of
£l,OOO a year, or even £375, the happy man would have
to pay annually for duty £250 a year. A few such lega-
cies, as Pyrrhus said of his victory over the Romans, and
he would be undone.—Herapatli's Journal.
PLAGIARISM.—There can be nothing more disagreeable
to a person than being imposed upon by "false pre-
tences," nor can anything annoy one so much as being
made the dupe of some unprincipled designer. Yet such
is the case, •and among the commercial community too;
for no sooner does a party, by devoting his capital, ex-
perience, and attention, in bringing some article of manu-
facture to perfection—no sooner does he earn for his pro-
duction a justly entitled reputation, than some unprin-
cipled persons immediately get up some base imitation,
having nothing further to recommend it tharf its appro-
priated name. We are led into these7few remarks by
seeing before us Two Packets of the Kow all but) univer-
sally known Glenfichl Patent Stara ; and so much alike
are they to a casual observer, that we, by outside appear-
ance, would think they were the same; but, on closer
inspection, we notice (which is the only &fferenee) that
the one wants the well-klfown name of R. OTIT misrooN
on the packet. Thi is the spurious; and to such an
extent has plagiar' in gone, as regards woodc,utd type,
w
&c., without clos observance you could scarce in
one from the ier, so far as external appearances are
concerned ; a/for internal, we can easily imagine what
rubbish it .st be composed of, and that purchasers, to
their regr' and annoyance, will at once discover it when
applied . Linens, &c. We are gratified observe from
otherspoou, the manufae-
the Lo don papers that Mr.
rer of the Glenfield Patent Starch, has obtained injunctions
in the Court of Chancery against these parties which it wille
in all probability put an end to the fraud. v, a
aware that no respectable merchant will lend a hand in
carrying out such base imposition, but to such an extent
has it gone that it is actually sold to merchants a
nshtsoualscl the
be
original, and ,they .and the public
. en
particular in observing that the original and only Manu-
facturer's name, R. :SVOTHERSPOON, be distinctly- printed
on every Packet—without this none is genuine. It can
be obtained at most chops in town.

A LADY well known in the first society of Paris, has
just died of an unknown and mysterious malady. On a
post mortem examination it was discovered that three ribs
were crushed into the liver—the result of tight lacing.
SAVINGS BANKS. Measures are contemplated for
effecting some new arrangement with regard to the vast
amount of stocks held on account of savings banks. It is
considered that the present moment is opportune for a re-
duction of the rate of interest allowed, or for adopting
such other remedy as may appear desirable.
THE HIMALAYAN CEDAR.—The East India Company
has ordered a ton weight of the seed of the Deodar tree
to be placed at the disposal of Government. Should all
tbis quantity vegetate, no fewer than 16,000,000 plants
will have been acquired, and thus we may expect the hills
of Great Britain to be speedily clothed with the sacred
cedar of the Brahmins. The charge of rearing it has been
confided to four eminent nurserymen.

DR- CARILL.—Dr. Anderson, of the United Presbyte-
rian Church, has challenged Dr. Cahill, who is now in
Glasgow, to discuss with him the first three canons of the
Council of Trent, which he considers as " violating the
authority of God's word, the glory of the person of our
Lord, the prerogative of His mediatorial priesthood, the
sufficiency and perfection of His sacrifice on the cross,
and the priestly dignity of all His saints; yea, as being
altogether blasphemous exceedingly.' Dr. Cahill, of
course, is afraid.
FATAL STEAM BOILER EXPLOSION.—On Wednesday
morning an explosion of a steam boiler took place at some
chemical works, King's-cross, London. One of the men-
employed was blown 100 yards distance into an open space
of ground in front of the building, and killed on the
instant. Others were injured, and conveyed to the
hospital. The whole of the upper part of the boiler was
torn from the under part, and blown a distance of about
70 feet.

PILOTS AND THEIR GRIEVANCES.—A number of the
pilots of this port have been holding preliminary meet-
ings relative to certain alleged grievances of which they
complain; the chief ground of dissatisfaction is that the
journeymen pilots, upon whom, it is said, the most
arduous duties of the service devolve, are not propor-
tionately remunerated in comparison with the salaries
received by the masters of the boats.
SKITS AT SCOTSMEN.—A writer in the " New York
Knickerbocker" says, that one faculty peculiar to Scot-
land is the gift of second sight. A remarkable dilation of
the pipit when a Scotchman sees a shilling makes it ap-
pear in his eyes as large as two shillings. This is second
sight. To it may be ascribed his wonderful abstemious-
ness. A red-herring, in . his ecstatic vision, becomes
glorified—it rises to the majesty of a silver salmon ; a
spare-rib expands to a sirloin, and a bannock o'barley-
meal enlarges to the dimensions of a bride's-cake. " You
never see," says Mr. Straclian to Dr. Johnson, " you
never see people dying of hunger in Scotland as you often
do in England." " That," replied the doctor, "is owing
to theimpossibility of starving a Scotchman."
THE ANNIVERSARY MEETINGS of the Scottish Tem-
perance League, held in Glasgow on Monday week and
the day following, were highly successful. Many of the
Scottish clergy were present, as well as the Rev. Pro-
fessor Stowe, and the Rev. Charles Beecher. Lawrence
Heyworth, Esq., M.P., who was announced to be pre-
sent, was not able to attend in consequence of the dis-
cussion of the budget in parliament. The chairman, in
apologising for Mr. Heyworth's absence, said he believed
that the meeting would agree with him that Mr. Hey-
worth was equally well employed in getting them cheap
tea and dearer whiskey.
THE LARGEST STEAMER IN THE WORLD.—OD Tues-
day last, the Atrata, belonging to the Royal West India
Mail Steam-packet Company, "the largest vessel that
ever slid down the ways since the world began," was
launched from the yard of Messrs. Caird and Co., at
Greenock. She is all iron, and has been built to supply
the place of the unfortunate Demerara. Upwards of
30,000 spectators were assembled. Sbe was named by
Lady Octavia Shaw Stewart, the respected lady of the
lord of the manor. Messrs. Caird have only been fifteen
months in turning out this great ship. Within. the last
few days four splendid iron steam and sailing vessels have
been launched in the Clyde ; one of the latter of 1,500
tons burthen.

TRUE HEROISAL—During the voyage of the John
Melhuish, emigrant vessel, Iron] London for Port Philip,
when in 39 deg. 11 min.. south latitude, and 19 deg. 57
min., east longitude, the first mate went stealthily into
the hold, and tapped a brandy cask. The light which he
held in his hand came in contact with the liquor, and the
hold was speedily in flames. An alarm was raised, and a
passenger, named Hayward, thrust his finger into the
hole from which the brandy was flowing ; and, notwith-
standing the blue flame enveloped his arm, he held it
there until the fire was subdued. He was afterwards
presented by the rest of the passengers with a gold watch
and chain, as an acknowledgment of his heroic conduct.
The first mate was placed under arrest.
FATAL. COAL PIT EXPLOSION.—On Tuesday another
of these frightful casualties occurred at the Old Park
Colliery, Dudley, belonging to Lord Ward, which re,
sulted in the death of six men and three boys, and the
severe injury of three or four others. At the inquest,
Mr. Wynne, the Government inspector, said that the
explosion must have been caused by the fouling or accu-
mulation of carburetted hydrogen in the cast level, pro-
duced by the lowering of the temperature of the upcast
shaft, by the leakage of the air, or by the skirting at the
end of the south air course being left open, or, by what
was not improbable, all these circumstances combined.
The jury returned a verdict of accidental death.
MERCANTILE Law.—At the monthly meeting of the
members of the Society for promoting the Amendment
of the Ltw, on Monday, Mr. Stuart, Q.C., in the chair,
a report was presented from a committee on the -com-
mercial laws, which expressed it to be the opinion of the
committee that it was not expedient to establish tribunals
of commerce similar to those existing on the continent;
that, nevertheless, increased facilities were required for
the settlement of disputes arising on commercial ques-
tions, and that it would be desirable to refer such ques-
tions to arbitration, and give the country and common
law courts the power of carrying out Cie awards. After
a long discussion, the consideration of the report was ad.
journed to the next meeting.

LORD'S DAY DESECRATION.—In answer to a deputa-
tion of working men opposed to the opening of the
Crystal Palace on Sundays, who waited upon Lord Pal-
merston on Monday, his lordship said :—For himself, he
could not be brought to see how the opening of this
pleasure-ground could be productive of the amount of
evil which had been described. He could not see the
harm of an individual, who devoted a portion of dm
seventh day to the worship of his God, going afterwards
to view these pleasure grounds ; but he was only stating
his private opinions. He should not object to a measure
for closing public-houses and beer-shops on Sundays,
but he thought opening the Crystal Palace would draw
people away from such places. He certainly objected to
the desecration of the Sabbath, but was not unfavoutable-
to harmless and innocent recreation after divine service.
THE NEWSPAPER IN THE FAMILY. —IS IT AN
EDUCATOR ?—A schoolmaster, writing in a recent number
of the Ogdensburg (U. S.) Sentinel, says :—I have
found it to be a universal fact, without exception, that
those scholars of bcth sexes, and of all ages, who have
had access to newspapers at home, when compared with
those who have not, are-1. Better readers, excelling in
pronunciation and emphasis, and. consequently read more
understandingly.-2. They are better spellers, and define
words Alai greater ease and with more accuracy.-3. They
obtain a practical knowledge of geography in almost half
the t me it requires others, as the newspapers have made
them familiar with the location of the important places,
nations, their governments, and doings on the gloho.-4.
Theyarc better grammarians, forhaving become so familiar
with every variety of style, in the newspaper, from the
common-place advertisement, to the finished and classical
oration of the statesman, they more readily comprehend
the meaning of the text, and consequently analyze its
construction with accuracy.-5. They write better com-
positions, using better language, containing more thoughts
more clearly and connectedly expressed.-6. Those young
men who :lave for years been readers of the newspapers,
are always taking the lead in the debating society, exhibit.
ing a more extensive knowledge upon a greater variety of
subjects and expressing their views with greater fluency,
clearness and correctness in their use of languages.
THE SEIZURE OF ROCKETS AT ROTHERHITHE.—The
proceedings in this case were resumed at the Bow-street
police-court, London, on Thursday, and Mr. Henry, the
magistrate, gave his decision upon the first summons,
which charged Messrs. Hale with being in possession of a
greater quantity of gunpowder than that permitted by act
of parliament, to the effect that the powder,. found on
Messrs. Hale's premises, was gunpowder within the mean-
ing of rite acr. He, therefore, adjudged that all the
powder seized beyond the allowed quantity should be
forfeited, and the defendant should pay 2s. per lb. penalty.
William Hale, Robert Hale, and James Boylin, were then
charged with having made, in contravention of the pro-
visions of the act 9th and 10th Wm. lil, chap 7, large
quantities of rockets. For the prosecution, it was stated
that from October last there were a great many workmen
in employ, some of whom were foreign refugees, and the
whole of their proceedings were evidently carried on in
the greatest possible secrecy. Police officers gave evi-
dence respecting the seizure of the rockets. Auguste
Usener, the next witness, said that he bad been an officer
of Prussian artillery, and had served in the Ilunearian
army during the war. He was employed by the
c Messrs.ese
Hale, in making rockets at ltotherhithe, rileaboeutthel
of September last year, and worked for thfettnhetH

ROM LIVERPOOL
For ELBOURNE and SYDNEY,
IN JUNE.
Experience has suggested many improvements in rig—power
as a Steamer—and internal arrangements now being carried
into effect. Coaling arrangements are already made, and it is
confidently expected that she will make a very rapid passage.
She is being fitted out with one of Griffith's Patent Propllers,
by which increased speed is obtained and all vibration expected
to be removed, as it has been so successfully tried in Her Ma-
jesty's yacht the Fairy.
For freight and passage apply to
GIBBS, BRIGHT, and CO.,
