A letter from Borne of the 2nd says:—" The Prince of Wales made an exception this week to his general rule of not going out in the evening. His royal highness went on Tuesday evening to visit the Austrian Ambassadress, Countess CoIIoredo, and then proceeded to the French Embassy, t where the Countess de Grammont had a very full as- sembly, enlivened by the comic strains of M. Levassor, of Palais Royal celebrity. In the course of the evening the Count de Grammont presented his most distinguished visitors to the Prince of Wales. His royal highit- ss has this week descended to the catacombs of St. Calixtus, under the guidance of the Chevalier De Rossi, and visited the Raspigliosi and Quirinal Palaces. Yesterday he made an excursion to Albano," with the somewhat un- pleasant accompaniment of a keen tramontana wind, which is not to be trifled with on the lofty summit of the Alban Mount." HER MAJESTY and the Prince Consort leave Bucking- ham Palace on the 18th inst., according to present arrangements, for Windsor Castle, to Pass" the Easter holidays. It is stated in Court circles, that the Queen purposes to have another juvenile ball at the Palace on the 14th inst., in celebration of the birthday of the Princess Beatrice. A GRAND entertainment has been given at Rome by the Ambassador of France to the Prince of Wales, Queen Christina, the Duke George of Mecklenburg, and all the Roman princesses, and the English persons of distinction, who were all presented in their turn to the Prince of Wales by the Duchess de Grammont. THE PRrxCE IMPERIAL AND THE GRENADIER CAP.- His imperial highness was attired in the uniform of a Corporal of the Guard (to which rank he has just been promoted); and, on arriving, the high fur cap of the Grenadiers, was alone wanting, which, the weight being apparently inconvenient, had been replaced by the light kepi, worn by soldiers in undress, and by school-boys op all occasions. As the trumpet sounded for the display of troops, Madame Bruat, who had held the Grenadier cap upon her knees ready for this opportunity, immediately began to remove the kepi, in order to substitute the head- dress belonging to the uniform he wore. But the action gave rise to such a storm of indignation, such a burst of rage and anger, such shrieking and screaming on the part of the little hero, that, had resistance to his wishes been maintained, the most awful results might have occurred. As it was, nothing happened more serious than the throwing the offensive Grenadier's cap far out among the crowd of soldiers. Good humour was restored with the replacing the kepi, and the usual demure and quiet demeanour was assumed as if by magic, with the wonted courtesy of salutation to the soldiers as they passed.—Court 'Journal. HER MAJESTY the Queen gave a juvenile ball on Thursday (the birthday of Prince Leopold), at Bucking- ham Palace. The juveniles honoured with invitations were between six and fourteen years old, and appeared in fancy dresses. The parents accompanying the children were in evening dress.

It is act believed that the Emperor will be able to accompany her Majesty, for by that time he will, according to very y general report, be spending his "dearest action in the tented field," gathering fresh laurels to replace the faded ones of his uncle.
IIPEEIAL PARLIAMENT. —*—
IIPEEIAL PARLIAMENT. —*— HOUSE OF LORDS. THURSDAY, APRIL 7. THE EAST INDIA LOAN BILL was moved to be read a second time by the Earl of Derby, who explained the causes and the extent of the demand which the Indian government had recently been forced to make for supplies of money from the home market. The existing deficiency amounted to llf millions, of which, how- ever, only four millions were for the present required to be contributed in this country. Replying to some questions which had been urged on previous occasions, the noble earl stated that m Monday he should move a vote of thanks to the Governor-General, the Commander-in-Chief, and other officers, military and civil, by whose exertions the late revolt had been providentially suppressed. A royal proclamation enjoining a general thanks- giving for the blessings which had been vouch- safed to our armies in India- was also, he added, shortly intended to appear. Lord Derby afterwards entered into various details respecting the financial state of India, a subject into which, he said, a royal commission had lately been prosecuting in- quiries, and had prepared a report that would shortly be laid before parliament.—The Duke of ARGYLL wished to have the principle strongly and at once enunciated, that under no circumstances should the British Exchequer be made responsible for Indian debts. This he insisted upon as a measure of justice both to England and India the creditors of the government in Hindostan having, as he observed, lent their money exclusively upon the credit of the local government, obtained a corres- pondingly high rate of interest in consequence.—After u' some further remarks from the Earl of Ellenborough, the Earl of Albemarle, the Earl of Donoughmore, and Lord Monteagle, the bill was read a second time, and carried through the remaining stages and passed. THE PATENTS FOR INVENTIONS (Munitions of War) BILL and the COMMON RIGHTS (War Depart- ment) BILL were read a third time and passed. FRIDAY, APRIL 8. THE ROYAL- ASSENT was given by commission to the East India Loan Bill, and some other measures. THE SUPERANNUATION BILL was brought up from the Commons, and read a first time. THE AFFIDAVITS BY COMMISSION BILL was read a second time. Other bills were advanced a stage, and some with- drawn. MONDAY, APRIL 11. NEW LAW COURTS.—Lord REDESDALE, in moving for some plans respecting the new Law Courts which it was proposed to erect in the vicinity of Chancery-lane, offered some criticism on the subject, which elicited a detailed explanation in reply from the LORD CHANCEL- LOR, and led to a somewhat protracted discussion. IRISH MAILS.—Lord MONTEAGLE inquired in what mode, and under what authority, it was proposed to give effect to the contract respecting the acceleration of the Irish mails now on the table of the house. The contract was, he thought, in itself unobjectionable; but the mode in which it was concluded seemed illegal. The general system of contracts was indeed attain- ing a most injurious magnitude, and withdrawing annually large sums from the control which parliament ought constitutionally to exercise^:—The Earl of DERBY maintained that the contract was perfectly legal. It was, he added, founded on railway acts passed with the sanction of preceding administrations. Some discussion ensued, in which various comments were passed upon the extension of the contract system bv the Duke of Argyll, the Earl of Hardwicke, the Marquis of Clanricarde, and other peers. OUR FOREIGN RELATIONSIIIP.-The Earl of HARDWICKE gave notice that Lord Malmesbury would on Friday evening make a statement respecting the foreign relationships of the country. TUESDAY, APRIL 12. The INDEMNITY BILL was read a third time and passed. The MUNICIPAL ELECTION BILL was read a second time.
HOUSE OF COMMONS.
HOUSE OF COMMONS. THURSDAY, APRIL 7. AFFAIRS OF ITALY.—Lord PALMERSXON announced that he should on Friday evening call attention to the state of our foreign relations, and ask her Majesty's ministers to explain the precise position to be held by England as mediator or negotiator in the pending dis- cussion at Paris, or in the future Congress to be held elsewhere, with respect to the affairs of Italy and Europe in general. THE MANOR COURTS.-The Lords' amendments to the Manor Courts (Ireland) Bill were considered and agreed to.—fhe house then went into committee of supply, and passed several votes on account, amidst a miscellaneous discussion. THE SUPERANNUATION BILL was read a third time and passed. THE COMBINATION OF WORKMEN BILL was passed through committee. FRIDAY APRIL 8. RELATIONS.—The CKANC-KU.OU Pilmpr«tm nfT7ER' referring to the notice given bv Lord Pilmerston of a question and motion resnecti"- t1'0 of the foreign relations of tLn + 1 i" ot the country, announced his intention on some early day next week, of bringing the whole subject formerly 'v 8 .° the house. He^hoidd on th^ o,n±CtlSS101l ? detailed statement on the question asild mearitii-ne hoped that th« intended notiStS £ ? ^3 any immediate debate on the subject being likely to nro' duce something more than mere inconvenience to the public service.-Lord PALMERSTON, after this intimation from the government, felt that he had no alternative but to postpone his motion.—Lord J. RUSSELL hoped that the subject' would be introduced to the house in a shape which would afford full opportunity for discussion.— Mr. DISRAELI intimated that such was his desire. REFORM BILL.—Inreply to a question from Mr. Cay- ley, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER denied that he had ever repuduiated the intention of bringing in another bill for representative reform. On the con- trary, he believed that the conservative party enjoyed many advantages in dealing with the subject, and he should rejoice if in another year it should be in his power to rntroduce an acceptable measure on the subject. DISSOLUTION OF PARLTAAtENT.-On the ques- tion that the report from the committee of supply should be brought up.—Sir G. GREY alluded to a report that the dissolution of parliament was to be delayed for several days^ after the ^prorogation. He deprecated this pro- crastination, as increasing expense and augmenting the many inconveniences attending a general election. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER remarked that the report in question was destitute of authority. He could not fix the precise day when parliament should be dissolved, but that event would occur at the earliest possible moment that public business and official convenience allowed. The government, he added, had no interest in postponing the appeal to the country.—Lord Palmerston, Lord John Russell, and Mr. Gladstone, briefly noticed the vague tenor of this announcement.-The motion was agreed to, and the money votes passed by the last committee of supply were successively reported and confirmed. THE COMBINATION OF WORKMEN BILL was read a third time and passed. MONDAY, APRIL 11. DISSOLUTION OF PARLIAMENT.—Replying to a question from Lord PALMERSTOJT, the CHANCELLOR r of the EXCHEQUER stated that, as at present arranged, the house would be prorogued on Tuesday next, the 15th instant, and dissolved on some day before the expiration of Passion-week. A question respecting the foreign relationship of the country would, he added, be submitted, for discussion on Friday next. RAILWAY TICKETS TRANSFER BILL.—TJie house having gone into committee on the. Railway Tickets Transfer Bill, some opposition was raised respect- ing the exorbitant powers which the measure conferred on the railway companies.—After a brief discussion, on the motion of Lord Lovaine, the Chairman was ordered to leave the chair, and the bill was thus practically aban- doned for the present session. TUESDAY, APRIL 12. BOARD OF ADMIRALTY.—On the motion that the Appropriation Bill should be read a second time, Sir B. HALL asked the First Lord of the Admi- ralty whether he would have any objection to state to the house the reasons which had led to the dis- missal or retirement of Captain Carnegie from the office of one of the Lords of the Admiralty, and whe- ther Sir Richard Dundas also tendered his resigna- tion and had since been induced to remain at the board. The right hon. baronet connected his question with various rumonrs touching election matters having special reference to the borough of Dover, which Admiral Dundas had been asked by his superiors at the Admiralty board to contest, but had declined: while Captain Carnegie, on a similar request being made to him, had tendered his resignation as one of the junior Lords of the Admiralty rather than under- take and which had been successively proposed in vain to Sir W. Hoste. Captain Mundy, Sir T. Herbert, and Admiral Bruce, even with the bribe of succession to his vacant post at the board. Finally it was stated that Sir H. Leeke, after finding his chance hopeless at Devonport, where he had attempted to bias the electors by promising them a share in the official patronage now monopolised by Portsmouth, had consented to become a candidate for Dover and was in consequence nominated a Lord of the Admiralty. In urging his inquiry into the truth of these statements, Sir B. Hall observed that, if well founded, they showed that the whole service of the navy was thrown into confusion, on the possible eve of a war, because the junior members of the Admiralty board would not obey the behests of the First Lord, issued with sole regard to the electioneering interests of the govern- ment.—Sir J. PAKINGTON prefaced his explanations by remarking upon the inconvenience of making public reference to the private communications that might have passed among the officials attached, in various ranks and departments, to the public service. The present question he had, however, no objection to answer. It was a mat- ter of great convenience, both to the legislature and the government, that one or more of the "naval lords of the Admiralty should have seats in the house, and when Captain Carnegie was originally appointed to the board there had been an understanding that on the he should endeavour to get himself elected. An oppor- tunity had now occurred, but Captain Carnegie, had re- fliseci to fulfil the condition, and tendered his resig- nation, which was aceepted. Admiral Dundas, under a similar disinclination to stand an election contest, had also offered to resign, but from motives wholly unconnected -with party politic, that gallant officer was persuaded to remain at the board. The offer of resignation made by Admiral Mar- tin was promoted entirely on personal grounds, and had also been withdrawn. After some explanations of personal character from Admiral Duncombe and -ATr. B. OSBORNE, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated that inconveniences resulting from the circumstance hat none of the naval Lords of the Admiralty held seats in that house had been much felt by the government during the past year. Some brief remarks on the subject having been offered by Sir G. Grey, Sir C. Napier, Lord C. Hamilton, Sir E. Perry, and other members, the sub- ject dropped, and the motion for the second reading of the Appropriation Bill was agreed to. VOTE BY BALLOT.—Mr. II. BERKELEY moved, for leave to introduce a bill to cause the votes of the parlia- mentaro electors of Great Britain and Ireland to. be taken by way of ballot.—The motion was seconded bjr Sir V. SHELLEY.—The HOME SECRETARY met the question by moving a direct negative, The bill would, be main- tained, prove most injurious to the true interests ot the nation.—Sir R. BETHELL, who supported the bi.l, argued that the voters would obtain the right of being enabled to vote freely, it being their duty to vote honestly. Hd eombatted the objections that had urged so frequently against secret voting, and insisted that it was neither cowardly, degrading, nor unconstitutional. —Lord J. RUSSELL contended that publicity was the presiding principle throughout the judicial, the adminis- trative, and the political system of the country. He re- sisted the motion, but he did not apprehend any serious injury either to the political organisation or the social character of the nation from adopting the ballot-- Lord Palmerston, on the other hand, felt his ob- jections increased rather than diminished, especially as by the present bill ballot voting was to be made com- pulsory, instead of being left optional with the elector, and so far from ensuring freedom and purity of election, would generatemore fraud, falsehood, and corruption than already existed. Mr. A. MILLS opposed the motion. —Mr. CONINGIIAM supported it.—Mr. H. BERKELEY, in replying, described Lord Palmerston's speech as flagrant and audacious rubbish."—On a division there appeared: For leave to bring in the bill, 99; against 102-3. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 13 EXCHEQUER BILLS BILL.-On the motion for going into committee on the Excheouer Bills ( £ 13,277 400) Bill, Sir H. WILLOUGHBY gave notic that on the third reading of the Consolidated Fund Bin he should ask for some information as to the disposal of the X6,000,000 voted on account of the Crimean war.-The bill was then passed through committee. EDUCATIONAL GRANTS TO SCOTLAND.-On the motion of Viscount MELGUXD, an address to the Crown was agreed to for return, for the year 1858, of the names of the places in each parish and each county m Scotland in which any school is situated in respect of which any money has been paid under the authority of the Committee of Council on Education-; stating the amount paid for each school, ancl for each parish and each county, respectively; specifying the religious body with which each school is connected; and distinguishing the parochial schools from other schools connected with the EstablisheiPChiirch.
SCENE IN THE COURT OF ALDERMEN.
SCENE IN THE COURT OF ALDERMEN. T.Atr,th,? a g°yfnor f°r Hollow ay Jail, the Town-clerk called over the names of the ablermen present, commencing with that of the Lord illavor. The aldermen voted in succession, until the name of Sir Henry Muggeridge was mentioned. Sir II. Muggeridge: I decline to vote The Lord Mayor: But you must Vote The rule is that every alderman present must vote Sir II. Muggeridge: Then I'll vote for Mr Weather- head. Alderman Gabriel: I shall not vote The Town-clerk: But the Lord Mayor has ruled that every alderman present must vote. Alderman Gabriel: Well, I shall not vote. The Lord Mayor: But you must vote. That is the rule, and if you break it you will be guilty of a contempt of court. Alderman Gabriel: I do not. think that can be the rule, for suppose I consider none of the candidates to be properly qualified for the situation—I do not say that such is the case now, -but it might be the case-VOU would force me to vote for a person whom I should "not consider to be fit for the office. The Lord Mayor If you did not intend to vote vou ought not to have been present. Alderman Gabriel: But you sent for me (cries of Hear," and a laugh). 1 The Lord Mayor: Then, if you refuse to vote I shall instruct the Town-clerk to enter upon the journals that you have been guilty of a contempt of court. The Town-Clerk:" My lord, it is not absolutely neces- sary that the aldermen present should vote, as the poll is only an ordinary poll and not a division. A voice among the Aldermen: The Town-clerk does not agree with your lordship's ruling. The Lord Mayor My experience is greater than the Town-clerk's. I have been here longer thari he, and I say that he is wrong as to our law. Sir John Musgrove: But, my lord- The Lord Mayor I shall not enter into a discussion in the middle of a poll (loud cries of "hear.") Sir John Musgrove: But the question is whether your lordship is right on a point connected with the poll (hear, hear). The Lord Mayor lam right. As chairman I must be right (a laugh, and cries of "Hear, hear "). Sir John Musgrove: But, my Lord Mayor, I sub- mit- Alderman Wilson: If the court do not support the chairman on a question of order, I shall move that' we adjourn.. Sir John Musgrove: "The question" is a new One altogether, and an important one, for the Lord Mayor speaks of having it entered upon the journals that a member of the court has been guilty of contempt of court. Alderman Hale: I rise to order. Sir John Musgrove has voted, and now I want to vote. Sis John Musgrove; It is a more important question than you seem to suppose. The Lord Mayor I have laid down the rule, and I will never submit to have my authority overruled by an officer of the court (hear, hear). After some other names had beeen recorded, and the Town^clerk had said that the aldermen present had yoted, it was observed by one of the members that Sir James Duke, who had just entered the court, had not given his vote. The Town-clerk: Sir James Duke was not here when the question was put and carried that the election be by the aldermen now present," and he is therefore not entitled to vote. Sir J. Duke: To save the court the trouble of a dispute or disagreement on the matter the best thing I can do is to retire (hear, hear). Sir James then hurried out of the court. The votes having been cast up, 'The Lord Mayor declared Mr. Wcatherhead duly elected governor of Hoiloway Prison during the pleasure, of the court, and subject to such rules and regulations as might now be in force or might be hereafter made in connection with the office. Alderman Wilson: I shall now move that Mr. Alderman Gabriel be taken into custody by the Serjeant-at-Arms, and brought to the bar for refusing to obey the orders of the court. (Cries of "Oh. oh "hear, hear," and laughter.) The Lord Mayor: And if you do, and the court assent, I shall certainly order the officers at once to act upon the resolution (hear, hear). Alderman Wilson: Then I move that Alderman Gabriel be brought to the bar by the Serjeant-at-Arms (cries of "Oh, oh! ") Sir Peter Laurie then started up and said: If you do that I shall at once move the adjournment of the court (loud cries of "Hear, hear ). Some of the members of the court said there was no seconder to Alderman Wilson's motion, and, nobody having manifested any disposition to see the result of such a question, it was, of course, dropped altogether. Mr. Weathcrhead was then called to the bar, and he there fonnal y leagued his office of governor of Newgate, and was officially informed that he had been just elected to that of go- vernor of Holloway Prison.
A FORGERY COMPANY.
A FORGERY COMPANY. At Marlhorough-street, this week, William Wagner, ostensibly carrying oft business as a law-stationer, No. 10, i ork-buildings, a returned convict; Frederick Humphreys, jeweller, Red Lion-square; William Wynne Bramwell, agent and furniture-dealer, Meard's- court; and Andrew Foster, were charged with having formed part of an extensive gang of forgers and coiners, whose operations for some considerable time past have been mainly directed against London bankers. Thet our prisoners were only brought up pro jorma, as the police were not fully prepared with a mass of extraordinary evidence which they are engaged in collecting. The case itself is one of the most remarkable that have ever been brought into a. police-court, not only from the wide combination of disreputable persons, but on account of the daring felonies they contemplated, and to a certain extent carried out. About eighteen months ago, several forged cheques having been passed on different bankers, the police were put in possession of the particulars, and Sergeant Edward Funnell, the Citv de- tective, Detective ioy, A 328, and Sergeant Webb, City policc, ^rCrenTn £ a Jraco 0,,t 1lie offenders on tbe responsibility of Mr. Mullens, the bankers' solicitor. It was suspected that Wag- UCL (one of the prisoners), who had been transported for torgery, and who was known to be one of the cleverest and most expert of the gang of forgers who, before his appre- nenslon, were victimising the bankers, had found his way to England, and the police were requested to ascertain if tms suspicion was correct. With some trouble they dis- covered that Wagner had obtained a ticket-of-leave, had made his way to London, and with a partner had esta- a l i v "LI khnd a law-stationery office, in York-btiildings, Aaeiphi. The police for months kept their eves'on the firm, and made themselves acquainted with everybody who went, in and out for more than a year, satisfying themselves that a gang of eight or ten persons were at work forging and coining, but yet unable u to obtain jCgal evidence to warrant them in taking the offenders into custody, or in hoping to obtain a conviction. The police dis- covered thatforged cheques to a very large amount had been passed, that government were defrauded to an unknown extent by the forgery of receipt stamps, -and that base coins of gold and silver were in process of mannfactnre, the locality of which manu- factory they were not then able to ascertain. The week before last a cheque for £ 265 was presented at the Union Bank, Recent-Street, through the prisoner Foster.

FRIGHTFUL COLL IE R Y A C…
FRIGHTFUL COLL IE R Y A C CID E N T. The painful and melancholy duty devolves on us this w^t t0 rf.cord another of those frightful and :™r7drm? celery accidents which have been of late ith °A reqnent occurrence in fhe mining districts of +if particularly in Glamorganshire. The scene Of the present catastrophe, which has resulted in !md 7 Jno less than twentv-five men »oli;Dv?r s1evt!ral valuable horses, was the main colliery situated near Bryncock, a short distance from Dliffryn-bouse, and about two miles from the town ot .Neath. The colliery is the property of Messrs. I1 ox, Kedwood, and Co., under whose auspices it was re-opened about 2 years ago, and has since then been carried on by them with much vigour, and, until this untoward inundation, with every promise of ultimate success. The accident took place on Wednesday last In the morning the men and boys to the number of eighty descended the pit as usual with that buoyancy of spirits peculiar to the Welsh colliers, little dreaming of the proximity of that destructive element which was so soon to engulf them. Haying descended, the colliers repaired to their various occupations, some to the head- ings, some to the wagons, while others took their turns as explorers of drifts. The object of the explorers of drifts was to obtain an additional pit as an upcast shaft. This, we understand, was done at the suggestion of the Govern- nient Inspector, who objected to the men having only one way of ingress and egress to the colliery, as they were exposed to the smoke and heat passing through the wind- ing shaft. Things went on smoothly until about eleven o'clock. At this time there were what is called two turns of borers, three men in each turn. While the borers were engaged in driving in a southerly direction they unfor- tunately struck into the workings of an old colliery, called the Fire Engine Pit. Although the proximity of these old workings was well known, still there was not the slightest apprehension felt of any danger arising from them, as they had been, it was supposed, thoroughly drained pre- vious to the re-opening of the main colliery. Indeed, So confident were the men, we are told, that they frequently ridiculed the idea of the old workings being a source of danger to them after the precautions which had been taken while they were being drained at the time already referred to. The old workings, however, proved treacherous. In the heading worked by Thomas Barker and Philip Thomas the side bore hole came in contact with them, and the water began to flow apace. The men lost no time in attempting to plug the hole, but their efforts soon proved fruitless. The water gained on them with a rapidity that completely hurled them back by its volume and pressure. Seeing the danger that now threatened them, the alarm was given, and there was a general rush to the mouth of the shaft, the only way of escape. The usual danger signals having been exchanged with those at the mouth of the pit, the engine was brought into requisition, and not a moment lost in bringing up the men. Expeditious as they were, however, the flow of water was too impetuous for them, for in a very short time it was found that there was a perfect torrent pouring into the workings, and raptdly extending itself even to the mouth of the shaft. Knowing that the water was thus rapidly overwhelming everything at the only place of escape, the anxiety of those above mny be better imagined and described. Tram after tram was sent down with the greatest possible speed, and in a short time iifty-five men and boys and two horses were rescued. The number left in the pit is suppooed to be about twenty-five, all of whom, it is feared, must have penshed. As soon as the news of the disaster extended, the friends and relatives of the colliers repaired to the spot. the scene that ensued was most heart-rending. Pørents, brothers, sisters, rmd friends asseml'led in groups, min- gled their lamentations, and rent the air with their cries. In the midst of all tIns everything WaS done that art rind practical ex- perience couid suggest by Mr. Graham, the superintendent of the cutting, and those under him, to drain the water. As soon as it was found that no more men could be saved, two powerful engines were set to pump, and the trams were converted into water-tubs. These were sent up and down by the engines with marvellous speed, and brought up as many as 432 gallons per minute. Considering that the cutting is 95fathoihsindeptb this was considered very good work. In addition to this, another powerful engine was set in motion, which pumped out 900 gallons per minute.. Dy incessant working it was found that in 12 hours the water was lessened about five feet. Yester- day however, we regret to find that the quantity under- went but little diminution. As a proof of the rapid manner in which the pit was overflowed, we may mention that in two hours after the discovery of the accident the water flooded the shaft to the height of 63 feet. By four o'clock it had reached eo feet. Some of the men and boys saved had a very narrow escape. One boy saved himself by clinging to a. horse's tail. One horse, having reached the shaft in time, instinctively j umped in as one of the tubs reached the bottom. Another horse did the same, .arid, by clinging to his tail, the lad saved his life. A man, named William 'taylor, succeeded in saving three boys while they were plunging about in the bottom of the shaft. Another man was clutched while he was about to sink from sheer exhaustion. Poor Dorman, the foreman, who was in the pit when the water broke in, fell a victim while laudably endea- vouring ta warn and save ethers. He had, it appears, ample time to escape; but, in his anxiety to aid his men, he himself found a watery grave.
METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS.
METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS. On Friday, at the usual weekly meeting of the board, John Thwaites, Esq., in the chair, there was a jnore than usually animated scene. Mr. Leslie brought forward a motion relative to the contracts entered into by the board in connection with the main drainage. He contended that there Were very serious errors in the statement of the particulars upon which the contractors had furnished their estimates. In one length of sewer there had been taken out 54,132 cubic yards, while the engineer reported that the quantity was only 40,000 cubic yards of earthwork. The contractors knew that the greater part of the quantities were erroneous, and the tenders ranged from X152,000 to £ 272,000. It was within the bounds of probabili ty that one of these parties had been supplied with the right quantities while the remaining fifteen had been supplied with the wrong. It was a gross and deliberate swindle on the board and the ratepayers (great confusion, and cries of "Shame, shame," took place during this attack). Several members rose and declared that these statements were base, scandalous, and un- worthy, on the part of a member of such a public board—second only in number and ability to the House of Commons itself (loud laughter). The chairman called on Mr. Leslie to retract, apologise, or explain. Mr. Leslie had nothing to retract. He had it in black and white. Mr. Woolrych, the clerk, believed that the ratepayers would not be prejudiced to the extent of one fartbing, even if the quantities had been taken out in excess. The chairman again called upon Mr. Leslie, in the exercise of a wise discretion, to withdraw his asser-, tion. Mr. Leslie would exercise no wise discretion at all (laughter). Mr. Taylor said that Mr. Leslie's conduct, was gross and scandalous. He had stated that one party was given one set of quantities, and others were given different quantities. Mr. Leslie: I said in all probability." Mr. Carpmael then proposed, and Mr. Eckett seconded, that Sir. Leslie be publicly censured by the chairman for his assertions and insinuations. Mr. Leslie still refusing to retract, this vote of censure was put and carried by fifteen to five, amid ironical cheering, and was formally delivered by the chairman to Mr. Leslie, who sat unmoved under its administration.
A CAUTION TO CREENHORNS.
A CAUTION TO CREENHORNS. At one of the London police courts, a thin, pale, young man, with light hair and restless eyes, who stated his name to be George Stm, and his residence at 24, Arling- ton-street, New North-road, was placed at the bar by Leveridge, 84N, charged with being concerned in obtain- ing f8 from Louis Davis, under the following circum- stances ;— The prosecutor said I am of the Jewish persuasion, and a pawnbroker in Coleshill-street, Birmingham. Mr. Hammill: Do yon know the prisoner? Prosecutor Know him yes, to be sure. Mr. Hammill: Oh, he is an acquaintance? Prosecutor (indignantly): Acquaintance! no-I never saw him until yesterday,'but I shall never forget him. I came by express train to London yesterday, and about twelve or one, while I was in Moorgate-street, looking for Little Coleman-street, where a merchant friend of mine lives, a young man accosted me with What do you want ? I told him what it was, and then he said, "Ah! it is just like my case: I am seeking for a person who owes my father in Leicester- shire £ 400 or £500, and I cannot find him." Well, then he proposed that we should go to a public-house and search the Directory." We did so, and I had a glass of ale with him, but we could not find out our friends. After that we entered another public-house, but I would only have a glass of ginger beer, because I am not a drunkard, you know. Well, another man came in there, and bowed to my Leicestershire acquaintance, and asked after a lady. Conversation ensued, and the new- comer proposed to wager each of us a new hat and a bottle of wine that he would throw a 101b. stone (skittle-ball) forty yards. We took the wager, and away we went to some beer bouse. Mr. Hammill: Where is the house, officer ? 1. Britannia- street, Hoxton, sir. Prosecutor: Yes, the "Beehive." Well, the Leicester- shire gentleman and I won the bets, but he would not give me the money back I had entrusted him with a stakeholder. He said it would be all right, and that the other gentleman had thousands. The loser observed that they could not have wine there, so something else—ale, I believe—was called for, and I had a glass of it, but directly afterwards felt stupefied. There must have been some stuff in the liquor. I recollect, however, the pri- soner coming in and asking me to lend him some money. I also recollect going with him to a pawnbroker's, and getting £ 13 on my gold watch and ring-, of which I pro- duce the duplicates. Mr. Hammill: Where were they pledged ? Leveridge: In the Caledonian-road, sir, a considerable distance from the Beehive. Prosecutor: Yes. Well, when we came back I saw the same two men I had left, and put X6 in prisoner's hand as stakes of two wagers—one that I did knock the skittles down in six times, and the other that some one else did not get them in three. I lost both bets, and several others of smaller amounts—in all about X8. I felt quite stupid, but bad .not two glasses of ale alto- gether. The prisoner then offered to make a wager of X-5, and produced something that looked like a spurious bank-Dote. I said, I should like to see this note," and J then a disturbance arose, the landlord came in and abused me, and I insisted he should send for the police, but when they came all the rogues had vanished. My Lei- cestershire friend was very quick; oh, he was a clever fellow, but I thought I should have lost my life. Leveridge: I received a description of the parties, and this morning observed the prisoner standing outside the Star publichouse, at the corner of City-road and Old- street. He saw me and went inside, where I followed, and took him. He denied the charge. I found upon him three papers. The officer here produced a printed list of the London bankers;-an order for the admission of five persons to the North Woolwich Gardens, signed Edward M'Namara,' and a printed draft of five paid-up shares on a company purporting to be the St. Enidor Consolidated Copper and Lead Mining Company, signed L. Ashmore." Mr. Hammill: I shall remand the prisoner, but will admit him to bail in two sureties of X40 each and himself in £80 to appear on a future day. Up to the time of the court closing bail was not tendered, and the prisoner left in the van. -=-=======-

HORTICULTURE.
HORTICULTURE. l From Bell's Weekly Messenger.] After the two days of severe weather last week we have fallen at once into midsummer, in so far, at least, as a brilliant sun and intense heat during the day are con- cerned, though the nights continue cold, with slight frosts in the early morning: The severe frost of last week, however, effected an immense amount of damage. The wall fruit, even where protected, has becnmueh injured in exposed situations, and where unprotected it is to be feared that a large portion of the crop has suffered. The plums and cherries have also suffered severely where fully developed. The small fruits have also been injured, though not to the same extent. Many of the evergreens and hardy ornamental trees and shrubs, having made an early growth, have been severely bitten. This is especially remarkable in that splendid" tree, the Cedrus Deodara, which, though perfectly hardy, makes its growth very early, and if the young shoots are now examined they will be found quite blackened. These, however, are contingencies which no skill or foresight on the part of the gardener can avert, and must, there- tI." fore, be endured with patience, and with the consoling thought that the influences which have nipped some of these luxuries of life have left the great necessaries of life unscathed. THE GREENHOUSE.—The hard-wooded tribes should now be subjected to the, annual process of repotting. As a rule these plants root but weakly, and the shift should therefore not be very ]atge, except for specimen plants, which require very careful treatment. Peat or heath soil, with a large admixture of sharp silver sand, will suit nearly the whole of the New Holland and Cnpe tribes. In all cases take care to retain in the peat all the fibrous particles, which serve to keep the mould open and facilitate drainage. THE FLOWER-GAEDEN.—After the first mild shower the hardy annuals, which for purposes of early blcomipg have been raised in frames, should be planted out. In the meantime harden them by constant exposure to t11.e weather. THE VINERY.■—When the vines begin to come into bloom discontinue the use. of the syringe, and maintain drier state of the atmosphere. THE KITCHEN-GARDEN.—Full crops of carrots and parsnips should be got m, if not already sown. Sow also further successional crops of peas, beans, French beans, &s. _o_
