F.li:cArth Wilkiarnt, alias IZalph, aged 45, of 9, William -eet, Deptford. was charged on remand with inter , rrying with John Wilkinson, her first husband, William being then and still living. Mr. Sedtrove, solicitor, attended for the prisoner. Mr. Maude inquired which of the two husbands gave the r,ober into custody, when The first husband came forward as her prosecutor. He tel he was a carman, residing at 50, Chastette-street, artain.road, Shoreditch. Twelve years ago he married .e prisoner; but a month afterwards she left him, and I, had neither seen uor heard anything of her since, latil a few days ago when he was at a friend's house in e ather-lane, Holborn. He then happened to see a letter, Mich had been sent through the post, and recognising the luting as resembling that of the prisoner's, be opened it, • ascertained that she was living in Deptford in the fume of Wilkinson. He accordingly proceeded to Dept 'ord, and finding that the prisoner had been married to nether man he called in a police-constable and gave her ▪ custody. Mr. Maude—Why the prisoner must actually have left on during the honeymoon. (Laughter.) How came she • that •. The prosecutor—Well, you see, she had had a child Iteviously by a gentleman, who, when I was from home t may work, used to come to my house to visit her. !hat caused some unpleasantness between us, as the entleinan used to take her out sad give her drink. I was I.n in the habit of attending Romford market on Volnesday. One day after doing so I returned home to my tea. I sat there waiting, like a cuckoo —flaughter)— or toy wife (the prisoner), and as she did not come I went pasha, and found unmistakeable signs that the bird had town, and that the cage (articles of furniture) had gone Mande asked where the witnesses were to the first as the husband could not prove a felony against wife. le prosecutor said all the bridesmaids who attended the ling were dead except one of " the girls," who could sal another day. r. Sadgrove was about cross-examining the first bus- I, but r. Mande said, as the first husband could not be ex red as a witness he could not, of course, be cross dned. It would be necessary that a copy of the mar t register should be produced, and abio the person the husband bad stated would be able to speak to manner being the person named in such register. prisoner here said she left her first husband a of the language he used towards her. She had .gsin married until nine years afterwards, not know hut that he was dead.

Sir. Sadgrove then celled the prisoner's son, who said he mt 14 years of age at the time of the marriage of her with the prosecutor. His mother left her home of the violence of language of the prosecutor, who at her father's house at Deptford three days , and said he would no l onger su p por t h er. aide said he had nothing to do with any defence it be set up. It was clear the prisoner, by mi ke second marriage, had committed a statutable It might be the duty of the judge who would the trial of the prisoner to inquire into circumstances auto know what punishment to mete out, but the case it go to the sessions. prisoner wet then admitted to bail to appear on ty nett for completion of the depositions.

MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY. this o'OLuat. Public securities are flat to-day, and the 'general course of prices is unfavourable, notwithstanding the pacific character of the advice& from the Continent, the large influx of gold to the Bank yesterday. and the continued dull ness of the corn market.

The preparations for the monthly settlement on Tuesday in the English funds show some large transactions on provincial account for the rise, while the amount of stock to be taken up will, it is stated, be moderate, most of the recent purchases for investment having been for cash. Consols are unaltered for money, but have declined 1-16 per cent. The fell in British railway stocks and foreign bonds does not exceed l to i per cent., with the exception of Turkish of 1862, which are A lower. The March Exchequer Bills have not yet been unfavourably affected by the announcement of the reduction in the rate of interest. In the discount market the rate for the best paper is still 11 to 11 per cent., and the supply of mosey is very large. Short loans are obtainable in the Stock Exchange at 1 per cent. per annum. Consols are quoted 941 to for money and next Tuesday's settlement, and 94i to / for the Bth Oct. The Three per Cents. Reduced and New Three per Cents. are called 921 to 93, ex div.

The foreign stock market is dull, owing to a pre ponderance of sales. Turkish Bonds of 1862 have receded 1 per cent., viz., to 59 to 60. Spanish Passive, the Committee's Certificates, Italian of 1861, and Mexican, are 1 worse. Some of the present quotations are as follows :—Turkish of 1865, 311 to 1 ; Greek, 131 to 141 ; Spanish Passive, 191 to 20 ; ditto Certificates, 15/ to 16 ; Italian of 1861, 481 to 49/ ; Chili= scrip, II to Of dia. ; Egyp tian, 1864, 831 to 861 ; and Mexican, 151 to 1.

The dividend of 4s. in the pound on the estate of Overend, Gurney, and Co. will be paid in the course of the ensuing week, and will involve the release of a sum of 896,0001., which is now lying idle in the Bank of England. Although this amount will be temporarily distributed over all parts of the country, the greater proportion is certain to find its way into the discount market and to add to the existing plethora.

EXTENSIVE CONTLAGRATIONR.—(THIS DAY. )—This (Saturday) morning, about half-past 3 o'clock, a destructive fire broke out in the premises of Mr. J. Bowker, a fruiterer and green-grocer, No. 2, Wellington-street, Camden-town. The inmates happily effected a safe retreat. The premises were destroyed ; and those of Mr. Stroud (No. 4), and Mr. Parnell, tea-dealer, VI, High-street, were damaged by fire and water. The principal lou will fall upon the County Fire-office.—A very serious fire also occurred in the well-known and antiqu►ted building called the Butchers' Arms Tavern and Foresters' meeting-house, Pear Tree court, Clerkenwell-close. So rotten was the building that the greater part fell in, striking several of the firemen, but fortunately no one was killed. The building was nearly destroyed. Insured in the County Fireeffice.—A fire also took place in the extensive premises of Mr. Hulks, linenAiraper and silk mercer, No. 114, Whitechapel-road. Tho upper part of the building was burned out. The Lon don Salvage Corps s►ved the principal portion of the stock-in-trade. Insured in the . .linenix Fire-office. "A rumour has gone forth" says the Athena-rem, " that Signor Mario 's pictures, armour, manuscripts and curiosities of every kind—the collection of years, and which, we happen to know, contains many rare and pre cious objects—is about to be disposed of by public auction." TEE DUNNI3W RAILWAY CONTROVERSY.—Another addition has been made to this protracted dispute in • letter from Mr. Brainy, published in the Times of to-day. That gentleman there rests his ease in reply to Lord Redes dale chiefly upon the resolution of the board of the Great Eastern Company which led to his taking the contract — a lengthy document which is given iss ex tols°. He also supplies a letter from Mr. May nard, who at that time was solicitor to the Great Eastern Company, dated August 22, 18b7. in this letter the writer says, " What I have always under. stood in regard to the excess of Mr. Brassey's contract beyond the capital, has been that it was in great measure occasioned by the Great Eastern Railway Company, when they had agreed to become the purchasers of the line, having vanaus works done not within the original contract, for which I consider they are therefore responsible quite independent of the contract." THE JURY LINTS.--To-morrow and the {ellen ;ng Sunday the jury lists for the current year will be exhibited on the metropolitan church doors. If s person is 60 or up wards he can claim exemption of the parish officers ; if he does not he will be liable to serve, notwithstanding he is over age. ACCIDENTAL POISONING. —OD Tuesday, Mr. John Palmer, of Cornwall-terrace. Birmingham, a gentleman, 84 jeers of age, accompanied by Miss Purrott, ofCopen hagen-street, in the same town,arrived at the Railway Inn, Worcester, having been visiting some friends at Hereford. At that city he had procured for him a sleeping mixture, and on Wednesday be died. An inquest was held on the body the text day, when Dr. Williams stated that Miss Purrott bad conic to him and said she had accidentally given an old gentleman an overdose of anodyne drops. She was very much agitated. He went to deceased and found him to be dying from the effects of narcotic poison. He had since astertained that the bottle contained a solu tion of the acetate of morphia. It was half full, and if it had been quite full in the first place, 360 drops would have been taken. The bottle was labelled, "Edwin Gay, dispens ing chemist, Hereford." It was irregular for • chemist to send out such • large quantity to • stranger, without a doctor's order ; particularly without putting • poison label on the bottle. In the absence of a drop measure persons frequeetly poured from the bottle, and gave an overdose. Deceased's housekeeper stated that her master had lived at Cornwall-terrace, Birmingham. When he left with Miss Purrott he appeared to be in good health. Miss Purrott rented • house of deceased. The jury re turned this verdict : " The deceased met his death from the effects of an ocerdose of morphia, accidentally admi nistered." CURIOUS ACCIDENT AND VERDICT.—A little boy, the son of • labourer at Driffield, Yorkshire, named Holmes, in attempting to drive a cat from under a stool, kicked his sister, a girl of 14. behind the ankle ; and she died of the injury • week afterwards. A coroner's juy has found • verdict in the case of "Justifiable homi cide." During the sunny days of the past week Sarah Youdale, well known as the Queen of Borrowdale, at the advanced age of ninety.seven, might have been seen busily engaged haymaking on the estate of Mr. Thomas Simp son, of Reath *site. The " queen," although able to do a pretty fair day's work, thinks " she isn't as good as she was eance."—Carlisle Patriot.

Neill Brothers and Co. report : So far the prospect Is excellent, except In porde as of Louisiana, Texas, end in one or two of the low. lying coo ties of Mississippi, which have suffered from worms, sad at present the t'alucem are in favour of a yield of something like:1,000,000 bides. Some of the greatest cotton-growing Staten, indeed, afford promise of doubling their defective yield of last 1.0 , 11100 ; and should there be a late frost and tine picking season, we think, from the glowing accounts reaching us from nearly all parte of the country, that it In quite fair to look for an average increase over the whole south of from 64) to 70 per cent. This would, of course, be subject to modificltion in case of any great extension of the ravages of the worms or other serious casualty before the crop is gathered. American spinners are, it is be lieved, but lightly stocked, and it is probable that they will be under the necessity of buying 8,000 to 11.1,000 bales weekly for their consumption, however much they may desire to keep out of the market. This may partially support prices for n few week., but the receipts will pro bably exceed no,uou boles weekly in October, and perhaps 70,000 or 80,000 in November; and if buyers for Europe be judicious, they will doubtless by the latter month tied the factors willing, and indeed under the necessity, of meeting them on their own terms. We therefore urgently recommend caution for the present, and a determination to avoid either hulling stocks on this side of the Atlantis, or buying abroad till the weekly receipts are sufficient to establish prices cn a fair level in view of the increased crop.

Toe CORN Hariverrr.—ln an elaborate article on the history of harvest, the Agnes/tura/ Gazette quotes the following opinion of Mr. June■ Edwards, of MarthaHerten: —•' In the present year the wheat amp will be full average, excepting on wet, undrained lands, which are sure to be very late with the harvest, and of a small yield. Oats and barley suffered very much from the wet spring, and, excepting on dry land; the crop will be found. deficient. The whole of the cereal crops this year have shown • marked difference between the good and inferior lands, perhaps snore than in any season of late years; and unless by thorough drainage the strong land can he made to a certain extent to shed the w►ter, it is impossible it can be remunerative to the fanner." BATHING AT TRouvitl.E.—A bathing costume is of course essential, and the fair sex take especial care that so far as they are concerned this shall be sufficiently co quettish and engaging. It will be either it la pepfuos, dreassienne, chimps', or turque, or se ronnier, debardeur, or tridtefrif, with miniature yachts or anchors figured on the flap of the collars and the cuffs of the natty little sailor jacket. Other requisites are canvas slippers with reed soles, to protect the feet ; • serve the, tosave the hair from getting wet a peignoir, to throw over the shoulders after emerging from the sea ; • tub of hot water, to remove the loose sand from the feet ; and baked line% with which to dry yourself. Besides the ordinary bathing. cabins, there are ea/ernes d 64—that is, machines wheeled right into the sea, after our vulgar English fashion cabana de lu.re, which, if their name don not belie them, ought to combine all the luxuries of the ancient Roman and the modern Turkish bath. The bathing quariiers of the two sexes are marked out with flags, and divided by , ropes ; and when bathing is going on at high water it IS difendu for the individuls of the male sex even to walk in front of the (mute domes; and such is the prudery of the authorities of Trouville, that, spite of all these re strictions, there are posted up all over the bathing-ground no less than from a dozen to fifteen police ordinances, pro pounded with a view of insuring public decency. There of course, nothing to prevent person, of opposite sexes interchanging any amount of courtesies with each other while bathing, provided they only keep on their respective sides of the rope. Thus • lady will pass down to her bath with • gentlem an gallantly holding a sunshade over her bead, and which he only relinquishes to throw a peignoir across her shoulders when she emerges, Venus-like, from the sea. The ladies, too, come up to the rope and converse across it with their male acquaintances, to whom they will hand bonbons, which their Ferrante have carried down to them to the water's edge.— Tifisley's Magazine for September. Fimif-LirE.—Not to speak of the eggs that alto gether escape fructification, it is certain that the young fish when hatched are destroyed in myriads. It seems the husine.s of one kind of fish to prey upon another kind. It has been estimated of the salmon that in its natural state only one egg in a thousand ever ar rives at the stage of a table fish ; and, if that proportion holds good as to a comparatively well protected fish liko the salmon, what can we say of eggs dropped in the raven ing waters of the sea' These may fell in millions, but they fall only to be lost. Hundreds of thousands of them are never fructified ; and even those that fulfil the con ditions necessary for their ultimate development into fish, perish in countless quantities, while the new-horn fish fall • prey to millions of enemies who are ever on the watch for them, and who instinctively know the places where and the seasons when they are to be found. We have an example of this in the case of the young salmon. When the 'moults arrive for the first time at the sea, they have, so soon as they reach the salt water, to run the gauntlet through a horde of hungry enemies, who, with a fine instinct, know that for a few weeks of the spring time they can count on having a daily banquet of young salmon. So far as this valuable fish is concerned, this loss upon the eggs, which in the natural way of breeding is enormous, can be greatly re duced by artificial spawning. At the Stormontfield salmon-nurseries the per centage of unfruitful eggs is com paratively small ; and, as all the fish that are hatched out are protected for one year, and half of them for a period of two years, the per center; of the young which is destroyed has been largely reduced. But in the sea such protection, either to eggs or young, is hopeless, and the multiplying power of all fishes would require to be even greater than is, if the fishery power is to be multiplied in the future in the same ratio as it has been in the post —Macmillan's Magerier for September.
