Ii -NATVRED PROPZlOL—trnamiablis feeturee and characteristics often stamp the proverbs of nations, and such we are shy of reproducing. Vrth ar e Italian makes a merit of and his proverbs teem with justifications of dec . eit guile, to accompli# gratification of that pennon. Archbishop Trench gives us the this instance, " Waft time and place to take your re venge, for 'be never well to be in a hurry ;" and it may be paralleled by handfuls of inch as these, "lie who can na reveng e , himself is weak, he who will not ia ocm teroptible; ' and " Who offends, writes on sand, who is of fended, on marble." Perhaie, too, in these which follow, "Thank you, pretty puny, was the dm t.W my cat," and "He laughs wall who laughs last, " there Dolma justifies, lion of slain' g words and of " one's time," for the evil purpose of compaisdng the most unchristian of triumphs. In Spanish proverbs the worst feature eosins to be a tendency to sneer at womankind, the gallantries of his countrymen having rendered the Spaniard scep tical as to female worth and virtue. "A woman and a mule, " be says, " must be made handsome by the mouth," i.e. " with good keeping." "For whom," he asks, " does the blind man's wife paint herself?" Apropos of the birth of a daughter, he has a proverbial expression, "Alas ! father another daughter is born to 4 you " "daughter" being apparently a synonym for misfor tune." But he out-erode Herod when he cherishes a saw like this on the same topic : "Three daughters and a mother are four devils for the father."—Quarterly Review, new number. . 808E0W1146 MONEY.—Men's ideas upon this subject are exceedingly indistinct. "I am going to ask you a favour,' says Ato B ; " I want you to lend me . ten pounds," or fifty, or a hundred, according to the po eition of the weaken. Now, if both A and B know that the money is sure to be repaid at the time promised, the loan is not a favour at an. If, on the other hand, it is not sure to be repaid at the time specified, it practically, in the case of small sums, ceases to be • loan it is • gift. For the difference between five pounds repaid • year after it was promised and not repaid at all, is as far as the donor's conveniente is involved, nothing. Both these points are commonly overlooked by those whom they respectively concern. The lender fancies he is doing you a great favour if he only allows you the use of a sum of money during a period when he would not be using it himself, brag at the same time certain of having it in his hands again as soon as he requires it for use. The borrower imagines that the simple restoration of the money is an effectual repayment of the loan, r how much of your convenience and your patience e t rel m e a7 have borrowed in addition, by deferring the day of resU tution. Thus both are in error : the one fancies that lending is always a favour ; the other, that repayment Is always satisfaction . The one overrates the value of the ob 4. anon ander which he lays you, if the loan is punc tually repaid ; the other underrates the amount of the favour he has received from you, if it is not. Loans which do not inconvenience the lender at the moment are only favours according to the strength of the suspicion in the lender's mind that they will not be punctually repaid. And if men would only be open with each other, he never need suspect this twice. If the lender would have the moral courage to exact • positive statement upon honour, from his Impecunious friend, of his prospectsof receiving cash, be need not lend the money under any misappsu bension. And, of course, if be ever found out • man in giving him a false statement, be would never lend him money again. But the majority of men are deceived with their eyes open, and yet are as angry as if they had been reall taken in. Your friend rushes into year room in a great' hurry, and declares he wants five pounds for • very Vaticular purpose, tiff next Tuesday. Ton lend It him. You feel nearly sure in your own mind fiat be will not rejsy you the money on that day, bat pm de not refute him ; and then, when the day mess rotuad, and you hear and see nothing of your trio& yint ars as •eagly as V be had really imposed Imes yea.

The Dunbar Castle has arrived from Sydney with 30,0001. in gold. The demand for harvest purposes and for the means of moving the large amounts of bullion which are now in course of transmission between this country and the continent naturally affects the market, but, above all, there is the disturbing influence of the new French loan, the enormous subscriptions to which are causing a vast sum of money to be temporarily withdrawn from circulation in France. The credit relations between the Paris and London markets are so close that any disturbance there infallibly reacts here.

The responsibility of the following, which relates to a project for a new line of railway between London and Brighton, must rest with the Brighton Obeerver (of yester day's date) : With a view of applying to parliament in the next session for powers to construct a new railway between London and Brighton, a *lnthis in of the line of country to be travereed is sow in program, and it will be completed in the comas of a few days. After the miaadventures of former project* of this kind, as !enterpeise has been taken up in several Mundial quarters in London for this purpossom an entirely different bone from any that has yet been adopted. The main cha racter of the present undertaking L understood to be economy of constinotion and cheapness of transit. By mesas of acilities from an existing line in the suburb an, it is believed that the oat of construction need not emceed a million sterling, and the projeotors ensilage that for lira or Is shillings the new company would be able to convey pmsangers by tint elms in • manner highly remunerative • and the oaloub.- hoes which have been made with prildenos and reserve show a probable y e t of 12 or 14 per cent to the holden; of the stock. The projects whirl leave hitherto been forward have been based on extravagant have naturally operated as a bar to the o f the capital ; more especially dining the linsiseial that is now, however peering away.

THE PLATE ROBBERY AT MB PULTRIfIR HOTEL, •LBERIARLBi- MENET. Elisabeth Brerra, Artily Beatty, her datiEhter. Gef'rge Bunfry, the husband of Emily, and Alfred Bales, were placed at the bar, on remand, before Alderman Finnis, for final examination, Bales being charged with stealing about 6004 worth of plate from the Pulteney Hot.), Albemarle street, Piccadilly, and the other three charged with re ceiving a portion of the same well knowing it to have been stolen. Robed Outram, 176, said that, when he brought Bales to the Moor-lane police-station, the inspector asked him what be had to say in answer to the charge, and he replied, "All I have to say to the charge is, that I plead guilty. I knew that I have done it. I will say all I know to endeavour to get Mr. Carr's property back. I wish the officer to hays some of the flooring up in Ilenfry's boon, No. 13, Mack's-place, Fetter as I believe some of the plate is there. All that I received from the proceeds of the rob bery was 141., which I received from George Henfry, who is already in custody for the unlawful possession of some of the articles." He further said that he met Henfry outside the hotel, and that another man who was with Henfry, and who went by the names of Dick and flinger helped them to take it to flentry's house in a cab, and afterwards the other man took it away from He nry's, and he did not know what became of it. William Boythom Hackle, 9, Naval's-court, Fetter lane, painter, said that on the 23rd of July between 6 and 7 o'clock in the evening Mrs. Brown brought a workbox produced to his wife and asked her to take care of it, because her daughter was going to make it a 'meant, and did not wish her husband to see it. His wife took it in, and they thought no more about it until he saw by the newspapers that the Henbr had been apprehended, and then he delivered the box to the constable Wiseman. James Lammas, 324, proved seeing Henfry and Bales in company together on the evening of the robbery. Herbert Reeves, warder of Coldbath-flelda prison, said he was present in April, 1884, at the Middlesex Sessions, when Bales was convicted along with Henfry, and sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment for house-breaking and steal ing property to the value of 70/. Both prisoners declared that they were convicted inno cently on the evidence of a policeman. The prisoners, having been cautioned in the usual form, were asked if they had anything to say in answer to the Ba7ee said he had nothing to say, but he wished the magistrate to deal with it there. Mrs. Brown said she was innocent. She knew nothing about it except that her daughter gave her the silver to Ma. Henfry mid she had nothing to say. She knew nothing about the robbery at all. She gave the pieces of silver to her mother to seal . George Henfry said he only knew that Alfred Bales brought the iron fork and butter-knife, which he (Henfry) attempted to put down the water-closet. His wife knew nothing about it. Alderman Innis committed all the prisoners for trial. DWAIDEILT CONDUCT AT TEE NEW LOWS CROW MARKET.

On the road to the police-station the defendant Busier came np to him and told him to let the other de flaunt go, and he would take him home. He told Ririer to go away, but instead of doing eo he caught hold of the other defendant, and struck him (witness) a violent blew in the neck, and caused him pain. Both the defen dants were very drunk, and it was with great difficulty that they could be got to the police station. /tiger said that he did not touch the constable, and he was surprised when he found that he was taken into ctn. tA te defendant Hayward pleaded drunkenness in ex tenuation.

Tax CiaariT Acroutt HANDICAP& The entries for these four great stakes were bowed yesterday. In com paring the nominations with those of last year it will be aeon that there is a considerable falling off in each handi cap, the numbers almost agreeing with those of 1866. The figures for the three years stand thus:-Great Eastern Railway Handicap, in 1866, 79 subs. ; 1867. 88 ; 1868, 76. The Newmarket October Handicap, in 1866, 64 subs.; 1887, 86; 1868, 84.

THI Moons.—Seversl communications which we have received within the last few days from Scotland and from the north of England e.ontirm the opinion which we have already expressed, that grouse will not be found in any great abundance except on some few favoured spots, and that on a very large extent of ground there will be no shooting at all. A writer in a contemporary paper denies that grouse have been dying to any extent m consequence of the extreme heat and continuous drought. We should be very glad to support his opinion, but unfortunately we have received information from three or four different moors which compels us to disagree with him. Our cor respondents state that grouse have been dying continuously throughout the last month, and that their - numbers are gradually diminishing.

The chair man regretted that they lad not been able to open the approaches to the embankment from Villiers-street, from Waterloo-bridge, and from the steamboat pier at the bottom of Essex-street, Strand. This bad arisen from the want of material, but the board would accelerate the work as much as possible, and it was hoped in a very short time that the approaches would be open for the use of the public. HOSPITAL FOR CONSUMPTION AND DISEASES OP THE Caller. Bsencemer.—A quarterly court of the governors of this institution was held on Thursday at the hospital ; Mr. T. P. Beckwith in the chair. The sr2v ka read the report, which stated that the fi nancial • of the charity was lees favour able by nearly than it was at the beginning of the quarter, owing mainly to the great falling off in the receipts from donations and legacies. The annual sub scriptions, which had somewhat increased, were only equal to about half the yearly expenditure. The legacies, which had been unusually few, were—the late Mr. J. Day, RN., 1001. • the late Dr. G. Aldred, 1001.; and the late Mr. G. S. Leverton, 3001. The number of in patients admitted since the 28th May had been 229, of whom 207 had been discharged greatly benefited and 28 had died ; the number of out-patients during the same period had been 1,680. The chairman said that one of the reasons why the receipts had fallen off was that people had an idea that the institution was a very wealthy one. This was a great mistake; the expenses were very heavy, and they required a great deal of ass stance. It was to be hoped, however, that the receipts would become larger the commercial world gradually recovered from the effects of the panic. The report was adopted and the pro ceedings terminated.
