THIS DAT Morning, 103 lilm.....Abenkoco, 103 LBIN. To Kowtow —Ma lan& nix RkA•••••RWlnwak 00 . OW. LONDON, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 12. Tue Londo n money market has experienced afresh spasmodic movement, which has taken the general public entirely by surprise. On Thursday last the Bank rate was moved up from 8 to 9 per cent., although there were so few indications of pressure that the bullion in the return for the week was almost stationary, while the reserve had declined to an unimportant extent. Still there was a decline, and considering the period of the year, the Directors, doubtless, thought it desirable to strengthen their resources as far as practicable. In another sense they are fully justified in making the largest profit they can for their constituency, although it should not be forgotten that, apart from their private capacity as representatives of a body of shareholders, they have also essentially public duties to perform. Owing, however, to the pre.- sure of the present law, they possessed no alterna tive but to protect the Bank to the best of theirpower, or otherwise it might have been doubted whether they had acted well on this occaaion. To raise the, rate from Bto 9 per cent. is a serious step— one which is far different from a rise from 4 to 6. Its effect, except in extreme cases, is generally to heighten alarm to a far moredangerous degree than will be compensated by the benefit which may accrue from the expected increase in the Banks reserves. Up to a certain point, therefore, a rise in the rate of discount defeats its own object. The public see, under the pressure for money, the reserve, that " writing on the wall," steadily de creasing, and that the demand for discount is only stimulated by each successive advance in the offi cial charge. The amount of available money is fairly set before their eyes ; they know that they have at command only a certain amount, which is daily diminishing ; and hence there is a natural feeling to obtain accommodation at any cost while it is yet procurable. In other words, precisely those movements take place that are incidental to the commencement of a panic. If there is one point upon which the soundest economical authorities agree, it is upon the inuti• lity and positive mischief of hoarding. No course appears more absurd to intelligent men of business than to adopt the plan of the miser, who buries a quantity of gold 3r silver, and thus renders absolutely unproductive that which, judiciously employed, would benefit both himself and others. But it seems hardly to be perceived that hoarding may just as well be practised with Bank notes or any other representative of wealth as with actual coin. It is a noteworthy circumstance that although it is now difficult, if not impossible, to get dis• counts under 9 per cent., the supply of money is everywhere larv. The bankers hare considerable resources at their command, but prefer to keep them either altogether locked up, or let out only from day to day. This circumstance of course con tributes to augment the demand at the Bank. It may be asked why, whensuchextraordinarilylargeprofita can be realised, bankers and other capitalists should hesitate to take advantage of the opportu nity. The answer is easy—they also see the " writing oil the wall ;" they know that as the reserve of the Bank decreases, the more intense becomes the desire of the public to escape being the last provided for, and that the consequent pressure must sooner or later inevitably react upon themselves. Hence, for their own protection, they hoard their resources with the same sort of vague apprehension that induces a Hindoo to bury his few rupees in silver. In our present system of complicated credit this apparent precaution is of course of no use whatever. With liabilities of millions it is of little advantage to accumu late hundreds of thousands. In these days it is impossible to expect a banker to hold cash equal to his deposits, or one half, or even a fifth, and the mere fact of his keeping twice as many bank notes unemployed as the amount known to be required in ordinary times does not materially strengthen his position. If his general business goes on as usual, the over-supply is more waste ; if there is a run, the additional sum is so inadequate to meet the crisis that it is not worth keeping. As long, however, as things do not get too far, it is manifestly to the immediate interest of the capi talists to keep the money market in as great a state of tension as they can. Hence it can hardly be unjust to suppose that by some tacit and un acknowledged course of action they contribute to bring about that state of affairs that brings in to themselves the greatest amount of available profit. We have no wish or intention to cast any aspersion upon a class of houses without whose aid it would be impossible for trade to exist, but simply to point out the inevitable tendency of the system. A capitalist, in fact, stands in the singular position of drawing an equal profit from certainty and uncertainty. On the one hand trade will be brisk, bills numerous, and dis counts in fair demand ; then comes the period of peril, money becomes tight, the rates of interest rise to an inordinate extent, and so long as there is no panic everything goes well. But it is almost THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 12, 1864. invariably forgotten that under these annum stanoes commerce barely exists, sad however great may be the immediate return, the process is pretty nearly analogous to that described in the fable of the goose with the golden eggs. If traders cannot make profit they will cease to trade, and capitalists will have to employ their money how they can. These spasmodic movements in the discount market, the uneasiness they create, and other consequence., may answer the shortsighted views of some persons very well for the time, but in the long run are certain to turn out disastrous to all dames of the community. gbt Court. BALMORAL, Sin. 9. The Queen, accompanied by the Duke and Duchess of Bare Coburg ead Primer Bekaa, drove yes terday to Braemar sad the Lyon of Dee. Sim 10. The Queen, aooompsaied by the Duchess of Coburg and the Royal Family, drove and walked yesterday. Viscount and Viatanntess Palmerton have arrived at Cambridge-hove from Brockett-hall, Herta. Despatches were rescind on Saturday at the Colonial office from the Governor of Canada. Despatches were sent to the Governors of Gibraltar, Malta, Ceylon, Hoes Hoof, and labnan. THE VISIT OF THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF WALES TO DENMARK. As already announced by telegraph, the Prince and Princess of Wales, with little Prince Victor, arrived at Elsinore on the 6th in the royal yacht Osborne. Their Royal Highnesses yacht was escorted by the Medusa, and they were met some miles north of the town by H.M.S. frigate Aurora, having Sir Augustus Paget, the English ambaseadcw, on bard. A Danish squadron lay in the roads of Elsinore, under the commaod of Admiral von Dockum, consisting of the liner Sajold, the frig►tee Sj,elland, Fyelland, and Tordenskjold, the ironclad corvette Dannebrog. the corvettes Dagmar and Thor, the ironclad schooners Abealon and &been Snare, with the paddlewheel Holger Dandle. When the Eogliah ship, appeared the Danish sailors maenad yards, and the vessels exchanged salutes with the Castle of Kronborg, the bands on shore playing " God save the Queen" and " Rule Britannia " alternately, while the musicians of the Osborne returned the compliment with the Danish national melody of " Kong Christian stod Ted lacier !fast." The royal yacht had the Dannebrog hoisted at her foremast, and steamed into the harbour at about ball-pass 12. During her entrance the royal pair stood upon the quarter-deck, waving their handkerchiefs to the crowd smembled on the shore. The King and Queen, with the Crown Prince and Prince.. Dagmar, and attended by a numerous suite, had reached the harbour shortly before the Osborne arrived. The royal family at once went on board the yacht to greet their relatives. As soon as King Christian stepped on board, the Danish royal flag wee run up beside the royal standard of Eng land at the main. Half an hour afterwards the Osborne steamed up to the landing place where the national guard of the town, and a detach ment of the 15th infantry regiment were paraded, and the royal gusts landed amidst the most enthusiastic cheers from the crowd. The Prince of Wales led the Queen, while King Christian escorted his daughter, the Princess. The landing place and the streets through which the cortege had to pass were adorned with flowers, garlands, and flags ; all the ships in the harbour were richly dressed with colours, and a large triumphal arch had been raised upon the road leading into the town. Upon one aids of the arch was • gigantic " Velkommen," and the initials of the royal couple, on the other the initials of King Christian and the Queen. The Prince and Prineas were received upon their landing by the authorities of the town, who bads them heartily welcome to Elsinore. Councillor Obvik, the burgomaster, made an eloquent speech, in which he alluded to the grievous misfortunes which bad broken over the °Nutty since the Printer's departure. Abandoned as Denmark wee by all the world, and crushed by overwhelming supe riority, the speaker yet hoped that the visit of the Prinores, accompanied by her husband, and the pledge of her affection and attended by the love and esteem of the entire English people, would prove the herald of brighter days to her r0y..1 parent, and her beloved native country. The speech produced a considerable effect upon the bystanders, and few who heard it were able to refrain from tears. TLe Princess wore a grey dress and white bonnet, and looked rather pale though pleased sod happy. The appear ance of the Prime, on the other band, showed that be was in excellent health, and his agreeable manners at ono' pined the good will of the spectator,. Repeated cheers basing been given for the royal couple, for the little prince who was dressed is blue and white, and for the Kisg and Queen, the party proceeded in court carriages to the castle of Fredensborg, two Danish miles distant. Here they arrived at 3 o'clock, and were received by the Grand Duke Nicholas of RoaMs, who had left Copesbagen a short time before, and the grandfather of the Princess Alexandra, Laadgrave Wilhelm of Hesse. The footgnsrds paraded is the courtyard of the castle to receive the visi te». A court diaper was given at half-past 6 is the evening. ARRIVAL OF PRINCE HrRBERT IN LONDON.— Rim Royal Highness Prince Humbert arrived from South• ampton shortly before noon this day. His Royal Highness wss accompanied by his Excellency the Italian Minister and the members of the Legation, resident in London, together with the noblemen and gentlemen belonging to the Crown Prince's suite. On leaving the Waterloo terminus of the South Western Railway his Royal Highness and party drove direct to the Italian Legation in Grosvenor-street. This evening his royal highness is engaged to dine with Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston. On Tuesday his royal highness, with the Italian minister and all the members of his suite, leave for the Doncaster Rase meeting. The Marquis and Zilarebioness of Exeter and Lady Victoria Cecil are at present residing at Burghley House, near Stamford. The noble marquis has quite re. gained his health, and is expected to leave Burghley to-day for the races at Doncaster. The Marchioness of Londonderry is on a tour of the German watering places. _ . The Earl of Derby will leave Knowsley to-day for Doncaster, and will stay at the clubhouse at that sport ing metropolis of the north. The Earl Cadogan still continues in a very critical state. Up to a late boar last evening the noble and gallant peer bad not in the least degree improved, but was gradually becoming weaker. The Earl and Countess Delawarr will leave Buck burst Park, Sussex, about Wednesday neat, oo a visit to the Qaeen in Scotland. Her Majesty has placed Aber geldis Castle at their disposal as a residence during their visit. The Earl and Countess of Lincoln are expected to leave town to-day for Doncaster.

Bisio, Goiroult, s.int.Menre, Angier, Ricord (Prince Napoleon's physidao), and also MM. Dam and Henan. BROTHER IGNATIUS AND HIS " SORE TFIROAT."— Yesterday morning` an overflowing commotion assembled io St. Mary Magdalene's, Munstersquare, it having bees announced that Mr. Lyon. linowo as '• Brother Ignatius " whose proceedings at t laydon and Norwich have attracted some attention—would preach on behalf of the St. Mary's schools. The celebrant officiated in a rich rope ; there was biome puffed in the face of a m. gentleman who was about to read the gospel of the day, and other strange proosedierv. The Rev. E. Stuart, the incumbent, before cornmeocing his sermon. astonished the commatiou by lei Lag "Brother Ignatius is unable to fulfil he engagement to-day, owing to • wire throat. I am therefor this, but it is no fault of mine. He wrote to ma to say that nothing' should prevent him from remelting for me. Perhaps be thinks his sore throat ' nothing.' If so, I thick ' nothing "of his sons throat. When he preached here a few months backs, and we col lected 150/. for him, b• had 110 sore throat." LATEST INTELLIGENCIC. THE DANO-GERMAN CONTROVERSY. According to the German journals the territorial question between Denmark and the German powers is all but settled. The financial question, however, remains undecided, owing to the claims put forward by Austria and Prussia as to the dis tribution of the revenue of the Danish monarchy, especially with regard to the 30,000,000 rixdalers which were paid for the redemption of the Sound dues. Austria has proposed as an equitable ar rangement that the Duchies should get that portion of the redemption money which Prussia has not yet paid. This proposal seems likely to be accepted both at Copenhagen and Berlin. It is stated that the German powers have also demanded, on behalf of the Duchies, a portion of the war materiel of Denmark and of its fleet. But this demand has met with an absolute refusal from the Danish government, and it is not at all probable that it will be persevered in. It is said that the Prussian Chambers will be opened at Berlin in November, and that they will be called on to sanction the war expenditure, which amounts to 20,000,000 thalers for the army, and 10,000,000 for the fleet. This enormous outlay will absorb not only the surplus of the two previous years, which amounts to 10,000,000 thalers, but a large portion of the state treasures. It is further stated that on the ratification of peace Jutland and the Duchies will be occupied by an army of 30,000 Prussians, and an equal number of Austrians. A great demon stration, under the auspices of the "National Verein," is being prepared in favour of Duke Frederick of Auguetenburg. A general assembly as to be held immediately in one of the towns of Thuringia, at which the right of the duke to the throne of the Duchies will be proclaimed. (azurra'a nascurs.) ARRIVAL OF PRINCE HUMBERT OF ITALY. SOUTHAMPTON, Sur. 12. The imperial steam yacht Jerome Napoleon, with Prince Napoleon, Princess Clothilde, and Prince Humbert on board, arrived here this morning. The royal party landed at the docks, when Prince Humbert left by special train for Loudon, and the Prince atd Princess embarked in the steam barge for the Jerome Napoleon. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (nom on own coinerommarr.) PARIS, SUNDAT EFLNING. A sort of battle of the streets is being waged here, and communiques have been addressed to the Union, Monde, and Debate explaining certain facts commented on by those papers. The two first journals, ultramontane to the backbone, see with mingled astonishment and grief many names of saints disappearing from street corners at the bidding of the Prefect of the Seine. This suppres sion, according to the Union, had been systematic. The a Iministration replies that 253 streets bore the names of saints, and that in all the instances where saints had been suppressed it was simply because two streets existed bearing the same name. In many of the old streets of Paris there still re main marks of the Revolution. Under the reign of the Goddess of Reason all holy names were abolished both on sea and land, and one can still trace where republican masons weee employed to chip out the " St." which prefixed many of the denominations given in the capital prior to the philosophical epoch. The Debuts objected to the suppression of picturesque names. The Union certainly made one remark worthy of attention. Why should there be no Rue de Turenne I The Temps thinks that as Titiens, Rubens, Petrarch, and Raphael have been acceptei at the Hotel de Ville, Tasso, Ariosto, Shakespeare, Schiller, Cervantes, and Goethe should not have been discarded, nor Dante, who visited Paris. Orators also have been overlooked ; where ars the names of Mirabeau, Barnave, Benjamin Constant, Manuel, and Foy, who commanded a division at Waterloo, where lie was dangerously wounded ? What has become of French gallantry 1 Amongst the new de signations appear the Desbordes Vaimore, but no Madame Roland, although every journal in Paris has lately been speaking of that lady in con nexion with a new edition of the "Memoirs "which she wrote whilst in prison. George Sand has been forgotten, and can the present Emperor dislike the memory of De Steel as intensely as his uncle de tested the lady herself 1 These three ladies might have replaced to advantage St. Pancrace, St. Poly carpe, and St. Cunegonde. The Prince Imperial is to go to Lorient next month to be present at the launching of a vessel which will bear his name. THE SEIZURE OP THE GEORGIA. Mr. Bates, the owner of the Georgia, has received the following oommunication " Foreign•offics. Sept. 9. " Sir,—l am directed by Earl Russell to inform you,with reference to your letter of the 27th ultimo, that her Ma jesty's government are of opinion that the case of the Georgia must go before the prize court in the United States, and that you must be prepared to defend your interest therein.

The King of Italy possesses at Rome, on a beau tiful eminence above Frascati, the delightful residence known as the Villa Rafinells. At his Majenty's command, the minister of foreign affairs lately wrote a complimentary letter to Mr. Severn, placing the villa at his disposal when ever he should feel inclined to sojourn there. This atten tion is in consideration of Mr. Severn's acting as Italian consul in Rome. The sentences passed on the Polish ladies wbo have been so long in confinement at Posen have just been published. The Countess Gstrowsks has been oondemeed to five ream' imprisonment with irons ; the Countess Wedriolua and Madame Zebrowska to 10 months of the same punish ment ; Mesdames Willowrewska and Ilaiog to six months ; and Mesdames Alexandrowics sad Dymidowics to four. All these have appealed. . - AN EcoremENT AT Rnme.—Among the visitors to Rome who have availed themselves of the pleasant villas and euini about Frascati for the summer tit/co:puffin' this year are an English lady, Mrs. Falooneet, and her niece, Mho Jerk worthy. On Monday last, the young lady, who is 22 yearn of age, disappeared from her aunt's v ill a a t Frascati, having been escorted by • Roman cavalier who was in the habit of visiting them, in the first instance, into the house of a Signora Marches., residing near the Piazza del Petiole, and thence transferred to the °winery in the Villa Lento, for the purpose of being initiated into the catholic religion, as • preliminary step to being united to her tidan:cou in the hoods of matrimony according to the legitimate forma of the catholic rite. Mr. Severn, as British maul, was called in; and ascertained from the sung lady's own mouth that the step s h e was a b ou t take was in accordance with her own free wilL The cavaliers is for the moment under arrest in the too mastery of St. Andrea della Valle for the abduction of the young lady ; but his precipitation will be forgiven in con sideration of his betrothed having become a catholic. Mn, Fobmanet was anxious to obtain a parti ng interview at the convent with her niece, whom she has brought up as a daughter train infancy, but the young lady absolutely de dialed awing` her, and Mrs. Faloonset will therefore return at once to England. Min Larkwortly had hitherto large pecuniary expectations from her aunt, but she has shown herself perfectly ready to merifice them en the altar of Hymen, and it is to be concluded that no disappointment on that more will be felt by bet epos°.

A letter from Schwalbach, in the Duchy of Nassau, states that the Empress of the French sesidee in a new and tastefully .built villa belonging to M. Arnold Herber, which had been selected as the residence of the Empress of Russia daring her Majesty's stay in July last, but which wail not occupied, as it was discovered that the owner entertained liberal opinions. The inhabitants of the place remark that the simple manner in which the Empress &airier lives offers a remarkable contrast to that adopted . by the Em press Marie Alexandrowna. The latter entered Schwalbw!) in the state carriage of the Duke of Nusau, accompanied by a comelier retinue, who occupied • great number of carriages, while in advance of her Majesty's carriage rode the Nassau gendarmes, and behind it was the chief of the Wiesbaden police in his grandest uniform. The whole of the road from Wiesbaden was occupied by armed foresters and gendarme'', sod in Schwalbach • great number of police bad assembled, under the plea of protecting the imperial guests, whilst extraordinary measures were adopted against ' the Poles. At the arrival of the Empress Eugthie there was nothing of the kind. Her Majesty declined the at tendance of the adjutants of the duke, who received her at the Wiesbaden Railway station, declined also the use of the state carriage belonging to the court, which was placed at her disport, ►nd also declined to allow the gendarmes to precede her carriage. In f►ct, no official parade was per. witted ; bat bet Majesty took a simple hackney carriage from the station and drove here without halting. The im perial retinue consist. of some ladies, her immediate court attendants, and her serrate, consisting of not more than 30 persons altogether. Her Majesty's carriages and horses only arrived on Thursday. At Wiesbaden, and also here, the Empress was received by the unofficial public with cordial greetings, which were gracefully returned. Should the weather prove favourable her Majesty will probably stay here three or four weeks. It appears Johaenisberg is only an hour and a half' a drive from Schwalbach, and it is stated that the Prince and Princess Metternich expect the Empress will honour them with a visit.

Secretary of the Seise,. Branch of the National ble. boat Institution), that the brig Governor Maclean. 21.; toil, laden with ivory, cotton, and palm oil, bound from Africa to London, was wrecked a few days since on the Shold Point of the Owen Sandbank. The Schley lifeboat of the National Institution instantly proceeded to the wrecked vessel and rescued seven of the crew, the remainder five in number, having been taken off by a Dover lugger. The lifeboat's crew were also instrumental in rendering other important services on the occasion ; having assiqed in cutting away the masts that the ship might right. and in towing her clear of the shoal. The vessel was ultimately towed, by government and private steam-tugs, into Ports. mouth, completely water-logged, and will be placed on the mud. The cost of this valuable lifeboat was presentt.l to the institution in 1860 by members of the Society of Friend,. THE COVET AT BALMORAL.--011 Thursday her Majesty, accompaaied by her Royal Highness the l'rincess Helena, sod their highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Saxe-Coburg, drove from Balmoral, via Invercauld.house and Allanquoich, which was reached about 2 p.m. Here ponies and men from Balmoral were in waiting, and the whole party having mounted, rode up Gleoquoich, Dearly to the hoary pine forest of the Beechen, which is proximate to the foot of Ben-a-board, where • sump tuous luncheon wee carteken of. After • brief sojourn, and a delightful walk through the wild and Mcturesque district around, the royal party returned to Braemar, via Old Mar Lodge and Lion of I)ee. Al the latter place, a brief stay was made to view the unique beauty and unparalleled scenery that surrounds the Falls. At the Invercauld Arms Hotel horses were changed. Mr. Fisher was in prompt attendance, and personally attended to the requirements of the royal party. A large and respectable assemblage of visitors and others lined both sides of the area in front of the hotel, and greeted the royal party with a warm salute, which was very graciously returned b y her Nosiest) and the other occupant. of the royal carriage. The horses having been changed, the Queen and party drove on to Balmoral at half-past 6 p.m. The day was delightful, end only • slight shower of rain fell, which in nowise incommoded or marred the enjoyment of the royal sojourn ers.—Dundee Advertiarr. SCARBOROUGH.—Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge, who is at present a visitor at thin fashionable watering place, may be seen daily driving herself in a small carriage with only one attendant. Her royal highness ham expressed herself much pleased with Scarborough and its vicinity. She has already visited Hay bore, Wyke. sod Hackness—the latter being the seat of Sir J. V. B. John stone, Bart., M.P. The Spa at Scarborough has also been honoured with a visit by her royal highness. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, and Princess Mary of Cambridge, are expected on a visit to the Duchess next week. —Leeds Mercury. THE ROMAN CATHOLI BISHOPRIC OF EDIN RURGB.—We (Edinburgh Courant) understand that the Very Rev. John Strain, D.D. hitherto president of St. Mary's Catholic College, at Blain, mar Aberdeen, has been appointed by the Ho ly Ste successor to the late Dr. Gillis, as bishop vicar apostolic of the eastern district of Scotland. Dr. Strsia, who was born, we believe, in our city, is at present in Rome, but he is expected to arrive in Edinburgh shortly. His oonseantion, in all probability, will take place on so early day. BAD limex.—Mr. Phillips, the principal of the laboratory of the Inked Revenue Department, reports that in the last financial year 26 samples of beer and of materials found in the possession of Emceed brewers have been analysed, and of these 20 were found to be illicit ; the pro. hibited ingredients being, in 14 samples, grains of pandas, one of these samples containing, io addition, tobacco ; in two others ooeculus indicus was present in large sod dee gerous quantities ; two samples 000tidoed capsicum ; and the remaining two proto.sulphate of iron. Generally the prohibited materials employed in the adulteration of beer are not injurious to heath, the object of the fraudulent brewers or retailers of beer being more to lemmas the bulk of their goods than to render the beer stupefying by the addition of noxious materials. Still, he says, there can be little doubt that the practice of adulterating beer with poisonous matters, such as tobacco and maculae indices is more prevalent than might be inferred from the mien number of detections made, as the fraud is difficult to dig cover unless the offender be taught in the act of committing it. Considering therefore this circumstance, and the abo minable character of the offence, Mr. Phillipe is of opinion that it would be ooly just to the community to make public the names of those persons convicted of adding cocculus indicus or other deleterious substances to beer brewed for sal* ; and be feels po hesitation in stating that the two in stances of the use of the dangerous drug in question occurred in the neighbourhood of W irksworth. in Derbyshire. sad that many of the detections of the nee of grains of paradise were also made in the suss district He states also that the experience of many years has led him to the conclusion that the adulteration of beer with drugs, as distinguished from the mere dilution or increasing of the bulk of the article, is more prevalent in the Midland Counties and the West Riding of Yorkshire than in any other pane of the kiugdom. TRIAL BY NRHSPAPEIL—The necessities of the vicious sesastionism introduced of late into the column even of better-class London journals has led to an unfair and indecent prejudgment of the use against Franz Muller. Almost every paper published within sound of Bow Bells hurried to convict the miserable .cap live the moment the news of his arrest arrived. Our excitement-levies contemporaries could sot so much as wait a few hours mom for t • report of the preliminary examination. The fact of the capture was annouoced on the 6th, and nest morning, on the basis of a mere telegram. it was declared—" If it be true that the bat and watch of the murdered man have actually been found on the pri sm:les person, it would be idle to entertain or pretend any doubt as to his criminality." This empbatie expression of opinion has since been almost daily reiterated, and supported by speculations and assumptions, however apparently tenable, equally offensive. The single difference between those articles and the shameless com ments of the lowest Transatlantic prints on the same topic is that the English Wain accompany their precipitate fioding with verbal tributes of respect for the judicial pro mos. They intimate that the scared has yet to be tried ; but their obeervatioos amount practically to the suggestion that the jury will only meet to confirm • decision at which public opinion has already arrived. We may believe that comments of the met will not interfere with • fair trial. There are pester safeguards in this country against popu lar dictation than elsewhere. The sense of justice is hap pily strong enough among as still to couoterweigh the evil tendency of a depraved criticism. But how long will that feeling survive such intrusions into the domain of jodi. cial investigation as we are seemed iu reproving! How long will the scrupulosity of the reflective serve to control the morbid effects of journalistic temerity ! Have cams never occurred in which the course of justice was interrupted by public clamour! Jorymee are not more than mortal, end the mind of the coolest is effected insen sibly by prevailing opinion. We operas, however, that we retard the matter more seriously is another of its upsets. We arsjealous for the honour of the press. The power wielded by it, with the sanction of the most enlightened, is increasing rapidly, and he is its greatest enemy who stows that trust. No reader of a variety of daily prints is issessible to passible social dangers from its abuse. Were the occasion fitting, those threatened degradations of the press might be examined in detail. At present we are concerned with the single evil of trial by newsesper and we grieved that them should be so much posed for the re preach that in the columns of certain leading joaroals the proprieties of justice are frequently sacrificed to the demand for what is vulgarly considered pungent writing.—Dutlio Erening ' Front the let of January to the 25th of August. this year there arrived at Chicago 727,500 barrels of flour, 6.245,172 Umbels el wheat, 10.167,683 bushels of corn. 4.341. 825 bushels of oats, 2'.fft,318 bushels of rye, sod 152,763 bushels of barley.—A Puritan paper.
