Tradk "Wxth Belgium.—At A Meeting Of The...
Tradk "Wxth Belgium . —At a meeting of the Council [> f the Chamber of Commerce for the worsted district , held at Bradford on Monday evening , Mr . Titus Salt in the chair , the subject of the proposed alterations in the Belgian tariff -was taken into consideration . A . memorial addressed to Lord Howard de Walden , our minister at Brussels , pointing out the ill effects of the projet de hi in question , was adopted . The Pharmaceutical Societt has addressed a communication to the daily papers with , a view to showing that during the last fifteen years its members have exerted themselves , with considerable success , to improve the education of chemists and druggists , prevent the
adulteration of medicines , and put a check on the indiscriminate sale of ¦ poison . " The council believe , " says the document , "that the exertions of the- society in elevating the scientific character of pharmaceutical chemists will have more effect in checking adulteration , imperfections in medicines , and accidents from poison , than any penal enactment that could be passed ; and that , however desirable it maybe to provide facilities for the summary punishment of persons guilty of fraud , it is equally important , and should be the first object of solicitude , to regulate the qualifications of those who dispense medicines , and who ought to be sufficiently educated to be able to test the quality of their drugs and preparations . "
The "Worksop LABqtrRERs' Friend Society . —At the last annual meeting of the \ Vorksop Labourers' Friend Society , of which Viscount Gal way , H . P . for East Retford and the Hundred of Bassetlaw , is the president , his Lordship , in replying to the toast of " The County Membeis , " made a few . observations , in which he argued against agricultural statistics and secular education , and in . favour of juvenile reformatories . Jte was inclined to > think the ticket-of-leave system had failed ,
and was the source of a great "many burglaries and murders . After his Lordship ' s remarks , the Hon . W . E . Duncombe , the second member , urged on the meeting the necessity of improving the condition of the labourer . An Ornament for the Church . —It is stated by the Newcastle Guardian that it is the present intention of Lord Ernest Vane Tempest to go into the Church , his family having several good livings in their gift . Being too bad for the army , he proposes to sweep himself into the dust-bin of " the Establishment !"
Fire at WAPPESfG . —Between six and seven o ' clock on Monday night , a fire broke oat at the premises in High-street , Wapping , in the joint occupation , of Messrs ; Carsen , "Warrener , and Co ., bottle merchants , Messrs . Hart , sail manufacturers , and Mr . James Mackay , filter maker . The firemen were not able to subdue the flames for several hours . The injury is very serious , probably amounting to some thousands of pounds . Mr-Rdskin on the Turner Bequest . —Mr . Rusldn , the celebrated art critic , writes to the Times as follows : — " As active measures are being 1 now taken to give the public access to the pictures and drawings left by the late Mr . Turner , you will perhaps allow me space in your columns for a few words respecting them . I was appointed by Mr . Turner one of his executors . I
examined the will and the state of the property needing administration , and , finding that the questions arising out of the obscurity of the one and tlie disorder of the other would be numerous and would involve a kind of business in which I had no skill or knowledge , I resigned tho office ; but in the course of the inquiry I catalogued the most interesting of the drawings which are now national property , and respecting these the public will , I think , be glad of more definite information than , they at present possess . They are referable mainly to > three classes . 1 . Finished water-colour drawings . 2 . Studies from nature , or first thoughts for pictures ; in colour . 3 . Sketches in pencil or pen and ink . " The writer undertakes , if permitted , to arrange and frame after a peculiar fashion , at his own expense , a . nd "within six weeks , one hundred of these drawings .
The Australian Auxiliary Steam Clipper Company . —About two hundred and fifty gentlemen , principally merchants interested in traffic with the colonies , met on Monday on board tho steam-vessel Istamboul , now lying in the Victoria ( London ) Docks , for the purposeof inspecting her previous to hor departure for Australia . This vessel is the first of a line of steamers intended for the Australian service . A dfy ' cuner was provided on board , and partaken of by those wUo had been furnished with tickets . The Lord Mayor presided , and Mr . Gooch , who represented the company , gavosomeintercsting details with respect to tho vessels . He said : — " The introduction of asmall auxiliary steam-power in the original
Bailing clipper ahips is the course whic"h wo have attempted in this company to carry out . We hold that economy in the first cost of the ship is important ; and , Bocondl y , economy in tho working of it . Wo believe tnat we have in these ships economy in tho first cost , w ™?* » £ Vltbat wo 8 ha 11 ha-ve economy in tho workth ££ * Mn- » " * "" wtoSned ^ at they could bring twoof asthaf r « n "' Vl fee tUo Bame Bum of lll <> ney ( 06 , 000 ? . ) S ° F ^ F' ^~ = ™^ d ssLto , £ ? trrsssu sr z & usl hs 2 ? s ?« 5 s zsr k ™ ~ xne cargo was 450 tona upon the avo £ gc ? wo Srry
2800 tons . With " regard to passengers , I believe that their one ship would carry as many as our two ships , and therefore I let that fall down . The quantity of coal consumed by the one ship upon the one passage—that is , from London to Australia —Tvas about 1950 tons . The quantity of coals that our ships consume we estimate to be 300 tons . The cost of the coals , at 11 per ton upon the average , which I believe is a very low one , upon the big ships , was 3900 ? . The cost of coal to these two ships is 60 O 7 . The value of the freight upon the cargo carried , taking it at 31 per ton , in the one ship , is equal to 13507 . ; the value of the freight upon the cargo carried in our two ships is equal to 8400 Z . " ( Hear , hear . ) He anticipated that the ahips will make two voyages to Australia and back—that is , four passages—in the course of a year .

Strange , his housekeeper , and his daughter , have been killed , apparently by an axe , by some person or persons unknown , and from motives which are not apparent .. The corpse of the doctor was discovered about a mile from his own house , lying in a pool of blood in the roadway . The otheT bodies were found in the house . '
The Amoor . — -The scientific expedition to the new territory of the River Amoor has returned to Irkutzk , in Siberia , arid reports that the country up to a distance of four hundred versts—about two hundred and fifty miles—from the estuary is not at all adapted for colonization , as the soil is damp , marshy , and covered by thick and almost impenetrable jungle- A mercantile expedition has now gone to the-Amoor ) to ascertain the wants of the inhabitants , and see what produce of their own they have to give in exchange .
Death of Lord Scarborough . —The Right . Hon . John Earl of Scarborough died at his seat , Sandbeck Park , near Tickhill , Yorkshire , on Wednesday last . The deceased peer , John Lumley Saville , Viscount Lumley , and Baron Lumley of Lumley Castle , in the county of Durham , in the peerage of England , and Viscount Lurnley of Waterford in the peerage of Ireland , was born on the 18 th of July , 1788 , and succeeded as the eighth earl on the 21 st of February , 1835 , his father having been killed by a fall from a horse .
Staff Appointments in the Indian . Army . —There have been rumours afloat respecting a measure of no common interest to the Indian army , which is said to be under the consideration of the East India Company , if it has not received the sanction of that body already . It is whispered that the officers of the Queen ' s army are to be permitted to enjoy a share of staff" appointments which have heretofore been bestowed exclusively , or almost exclusively , upon officers of the Company's service . The report is , we believe , not wholly destitute of foundation . —Overland Mail .
More Trouble in the Church . — Upwards of eighty beneficed clergymen , in the diocese of St . David ' s , have memorialized Bishop Connop Trrirlwall against the theological teaching of the Kev . Rowland Williams , the professor of divinity in Lampetcr College . The protest is specifically directed against the teaching contained in the professor ' s sermons , published under the title of "Rational Godliness , " the tendencies of which were pointed out about a year ago in the Quarterly Review , and have since occasioned much discussion .
A Beau Shot a . y a Lady . —Miss Pliilbrick , a lady residing in Piscatnquis county , having been annoyed by bears , set a trap for them . The morning after the trap was set , it had disappeared , and a trail was observed showing which wny it had gone .

General Guyon. Guyort Is Dead, And The E...
GENERAL GUYON . Guyort is dead , and the English public is at leisure to reflect upon tho treatment this ' gallant good' soldier received from the English Government . In the Bast his counsels were neglected , in the West his services were forgotten . A brilliant military leader , his genius was superseded during the first Armenian campaign "by tho concerted imbecility of Turkish pachas . Ho was then cast aside . The British Cabinet , as if inspired by Austrian sympathies , allowed him to remain no longer
with the Ottoman army . He retired , mortified and disappointed , to Constantinople , and there , unrewarded and unhonoured by tho country ho had served , he died a painful death . This is the way in which we enlist and encourage the chivalry of our generation . If tho name of Guyon becomes immortal , everlasting also will be the stigma of English ingratitude , which sought to dingroce this Bayard , who nevor fought in any cause but that of justice ami liberty .
