GUILDHALL. CAUGHT NAPPING. Jnnei nrynnt alias Uraef, a rough-looking fellow, was y10.v.1 at the bar, on remand, before Sir R. W. Carden, c h.irgol with stealing a purse containing its. from the yer‘n of James Bunkhouse a fireman on board the Viatica. It appeared from the evidence that the prosecutor was en his way to his ship at Wapping, and while passing through St. Paul's Church-yard he sat down on the steps of Nosrs. Cook and Sons' warehouse to wait for a Blackwell omnibus. In a few minutes he fell asleep, and the pri soner. passicg and finding him napping, took the oppor tunity of turning one of his pockets inside out, and appro pnuting the contents to his own use. It happened, how ever, that John Gale, 477, observed the prisoner stooping evil the prosecutor, and wished to know what the prisoner had taken from him. A purse was in the prisoner's hand, which •he said was his. He trod to put it in his breast coat pocket, but Cale stopped him and took it from him. The officer then woke the complainant up, when he missed his purse. The prisoner gave a false name and address, but be persisted that it was the officer's mistake, and not his. Upon that Si Robert W. Carden remanded him till this day for in quiries to be made respecting him. Gale saw the person the prisoner represented as his landlady, and she knew nothing about 'him. SATURDAY, Acorn 17, 8 A.Y.

The great fall was between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m. There being no wind the rain name steadily down, and the crops in consequence are not nearly so much laid as was anticipated. To day there is a brisk wind and rising barometer. The crops have dried rapidly, and the laid corn will mostly be got up little injured early in the week. The pnsoner vehemently declared that she knew all about him, for she was his stepmother. Gale replied that it that were the case, she would not know anything about him, for she professed entire igno rance with regard to him or anything about him. Sir Robert W. Carden said that according to his own statement, he must be a bad fellow, for even his step mother would not acknowledge him. He must go to prison for three months with hard labour. BOW-STREET. TARIM": THE TINE FROM BIG BEN. Furl. rink Money, s slight built smartly dressed young fellow, wu brought up on remand before Sir Thomas Henry, charged with stealing a large old-fashioned silver watch, valued at six guineas, from an elderly gentleman named Park. _ _ The prosecutor stated that on Monday afternoon, about fi o'clock, he was sitting upon a bench in the (:Teen-park, when the prisoner came up to him and in the politest manner possible requested him to be good enough to inform him what was the time. Wit ness produced his watch, and was in the act of looking at it, when the prisoner said, " Are you sure you are right?" and snatching the watch from his hand, tore it, guard chain and all, away from the button hole of his waistcoat. to which it was attached, and scampered away as fast an he could towards the mall of St. James's-park. Witness, more incensed at the audacity of the trick than even at the loom of his property, started off in pursuit and after a long chase overtook him on the Mall opposite the Duke of York's column. He seized the prisoner and detained him in spite of his struggles until a police man came and took him into custody. The prisoner who still had the watch in his hand coolly told the constable " that he did not intend to steal the watch, but was only going to regulate it; and, as be always took his time from Big Ben, he was going to the parade to get a good view of the clock tower." - - THE RHYMNEY MURDER,—At the adjourned in quest on the body of Maria Thomas, whose corpse was dis covered at the bottom of an old coal shaft at Rhymney, • verdict of " Wilful Murder" was returned against William Prather), a young man who kept company with the de ceased. The evidence given was very conflicting, but Levers' witnesses swore to having seen a man near the mouth of the pit on the night the deceased left her home. CRUELTY TO CH IL DARN. —At the Truro Board of Guardians on Thursday the Rev. J. Perry brought before the noPee of the guardians the ease of • woman, with five children, living in the parish of Perranzabuloe. It appear. that about three years ago the woman's husband died, leaving her with four children =provided for, and up to about two months ago she had been in receipt of 6.. • week from the union. At that time, however, she gave birth to an illegitimate child, upon which the relief was stopped, and the woman was o ff ered the workhouse. She re f use d to enter the house, and went out daily to work, leaving her children locked up in • room without any furniture and having one old shawl as the only article of clothing among them. The eldest child was eight years old. They were frequently without food all day, unless the neigh bours, who were themselves very poor, took compassion on them. The guardians decided that the woman should again be " offered the house," and if she refused it she should be brought before the magistrates on a charge of cruelty to her children. A LITERARY PIANO. —Mr. Pratt, of Alabama, is the inventor of a type-writing machine, lately exhibited to the London Society of Arts, which is said to print a man's thoughts twice as fast as he can write them with the pre sent process. By • sort of piano arrangement the letters are brought in contact with carbonized paper, which is moved by the same manipulation. The machine is com pact and simple, and can be made for 15 dole. with a hand some profit. Its feasibility is manifest. Legal copying and the writing and delivery of sermons and lectures, not to speak of letters and editorials, will undergo • revolution RS remarkable as that effected in books by the invention of printing, and the weary process of learning penmanship in schools will be reduced to the requirement of the art of writing one's own signature and playing on the literary piano above described, or rather on ita improved succes sors—Missouri Republican. THE CHOLERA IN ITALY. —A letter from Tirano to the Lombardia of Milan says :—" The cholera was lately brought here by • pig -dealer from Bergamo. The very day of his arrival two persons who had had relations with him were attacked and died within 12 hours. These two cases were followed by six others in the same street. The municipality then adopted energetic measures. It 'caused the street to be evacuated and sent the inhabitants to • mountain." At Catania the cholera continues to decrease. On the 6th them were 74 came and 63 deaths ; on the 7th, 41 and 37. At Palermo, on the contrary, it is augmenting frightfully. On the 7th there were 218 cases, 123 of which were fatal ; and on the Bth 319, and 164 deaths. The Gaze tie de France says : "On rumours of cholera at Naples the populace rushed in • masa to the abode of • fortune teller called the Sybil, massacred her, and cut her into morsels. The authorities have suspended the march of troops, fairs, and even the examination of studends. At Naples all ships coming from Leghorn are placed under quarantine." THE FRENCH JOURNALISTS IN DENMARK. —A letter from Copenhagen dated the 12th, from M. Jules Richard, one of the writers in the Situation. says : " Since midnight, when the deputies and journalists from Paris set foot on Danish soil, my head is in a whirl. At Korsew, where we disembarked this morning at 7, all the ships were decked out with flags; and the whole popula tion of the little town awaited us, the mayor at their head. Hardly were we signalled than the cannon raised the echoes aU along the comet. hi. Sylow, the mayor, in uniform, addressed us as soon as the portable bridge was Owed from the vessel to the shore. M. Morin, deputy, im provised • few words, in which he thanked the Danes in the name of their trench friends. We landed and • 'ere almost carried song by the crowd ; M. Bille, editor of the Dagblesd, and 31. Bierring, Professor at the University of Copenhagen, seized on us in the name of the committee charged with the duty of feting us, and installed us in • railway carriage. At every station there were addresses, flowers, flags, and hurrahs ! At Copenhagen fully 25,000persorus received us at the terminus, and the carriages into which our hosts made us enter could hardly make way through the crowd. The people shouted ' Hurrah for France !' We replied as well as we could ' Denmark for ever !' I have only to close my eyes to believe that lam • power of this world, so many hurrahs do I hear, and so many salutes do I receive." PARIS RICH I BITION. —REPORTS ON THE CLASSES. —Professor Leone Levi, in connexion with him report on the silk manufacture, shawls, hosiery, lase small wares, and costume at the reds Universal Exhibition, makes the following recommendations, which, however, have prac tical reference, more or less, to all the claws :—First, that a commission should be issued composed of indi viduals possessing artistic, ethnological, chemical, and commercial knowledge, to examine and report upon the state of manufacturing industry in different countries in relation to the requirements of the masses of the people. A committee of the House of Commons would not meet the case, as it would be impossible to obtain the necessary information in this country. And the reports of her Majesty's secretaries of embassy and legation on the manufactures, commerce, Ice., of the countries in which they reside, valuable as they are, are not sufficiently complete and technical for the purpoee. Secondly, works of the game character as that of Dr. Forbes Watson on the costumes and textile mate rials of India should be produced from time to time for all countries, and communicated to our chambers of commerce and manufactures, together with collections of samples of textile materials woven and produced in such countries. Thirdly, the advantage of such exhibitions can best be extended by enriching our museums, extending our gal leries, and exhibiting to the masses of the people not only models of art and design, but whatever may interest them regarding the condition of life and intellifenee all over the world. Lastly, as regards artistic instruction, it has been my duty to report that in the classes I have more especially examined Great Britain seems somewhat deficient in inventiveness and design. Thirty-one years ago, in the session of lfiiB, a committee of the House of Com mons was appointed to inquire into the best mcana of ex tending a knowledge of the arts and of the principles of design among the people, especially the manufacturing population of the country; and it is singular that even then this deficiency was particularly manifested in the very branches I have reported upon. A high authority, Dr. Playfair, has just suggested • careful inquiry into the schools of art and design in other countries, and I can only bear my testimony to the necessity of such an in quiry as an important branch of that which I have rug. Bested into the state of manufacturing industry. Great lessons and untold benefits are derived from undertakings of so vast • character as these international exhibitions, and mot the least of them are the various suggestions to which they give rise, and the impetus they give to the permanent progress of industrial art in all coontnes, SHARE LISTS:--(THIS DAY.)

WORSHIP-STREET. A LICENSED VICTI'ALLER coxiirrnso FOR TRIAL FOR AN ALLEGED AS , AL LT ON A POLIO" CONSTABLE.. - . _ _ Joseph Thomas Gunn, of Richmond-terrace, Wimming ton-road, Bethnal-green, was charged with having violently assaulted Polico-constable Mott, 345 K division. This inquirry has been banging over since the 29th t. when the constable swore that at near 2 o'clock a.m., while on duty near Victoria-park, at • spot known as Ashwell-road, he had occasion to turn his light on two women in ad vance of him. The prisoner with his wife, as asserted, was pestling also at no great distance, and the bull's eye's rays were cast on his features—a circumstanoe that evidently made him angry, for he instantly turned, and calling him (witness) • thief and a rogue, struck him in the face with his fist. Complainant asked why he committed such assault, and he replied, " For taming your light on nee, and I will do so again," which he did. Complainant then took him into custody. He resisted, and called for help. Two militiamen ran up and tendered help, but not to the prisoner, who, with their aid, was taken to the station house, followed by his wife who stated there that the constable bad tried to strike her husband with the staff, while he averred that when be asked the constable, "Who do you think you were turning your light on ?" the latter replied, "You and your --" Both these accusations were denied by the constable, who called a young woman named Mary Ann NichoL She supported the whole of his statement, but her evidence was, on account of her cha racter, almost useless ; indeed, she has not, since her first examination, put in an appearance, and each party attri butes her absence to the influence of the other. .." i -- Oil n 4 a • 1111 fl 62 67 00 101 1011 102 e the constable, who, it appears, has not been more than three or four months in the force, de nied having said or done aughtthat should havegiven offence to the prisoner. The militiamen were, of course, ignorant of all that occurred previous to their having reached the sPot. Mr. Greaves assured the court that his client was a most respectable man, at present out of business, and, with his had been most grossly insulted. He distinctly denied guilt. The prisoner was fully committed for trial at the sessions in two sureties of .Of. each, and himself in double that sum. ADVENTICROIIS VOYACE Amon" TEE ATLANTIC. —Captain Churchbill , of the ship Research, which came Into Greenock on Wednesday from Quebec, reports having fallen in, on July 28, in latitude 45.49 north, and longi tude 52.50 west, with the daring adventurers who left Bal timore about the beginning of July in a small fore and aft schooner-rigged boat of from 17 to 20 feet in length. They had been in at Halifax, whence they sailed on the 2:lrd July on their voyage across to the Paris Exhibition. The vessel, which is named the John T. Ford, is a handsome looking craft. It is sharp at both ends, about fi ve feet beam, and covered over with a deck. There is a scuttle bole about mid-ships for the adventurers to get below. She .78AS very heavily rigged for her size, having a fore-sail, square-sail, mainsail, 'trysail, and jib, all of which were set, and a large American ensign flying. The crew con sisted of three men and a lad, one of the former being • Frenchman. The men, although seeming to enjoy the passage must have had a di ffi cult and dangerous feat to accomplish. Although there was but • moderate weather' the Research spoke the tinycraft, still the sea was washing over her deck, and the night after they parted a heavy sea Caine on. -- A GAMLICEEPER CAUGHT IN HIS OWN TRAP. A few days since a serious accident happened to a game keeper named John Turner, in the employ of Sir James Watta, of Westwood. near Leek. The unfortunate man was in the wood adjoining the hall, and while examining an explosive machine set for poachers the charge exploded, and the ball, after smashing the injured man's thumb, passed across the face, laying the cheek open and ploughing the flesh through, and passing over the temple. The injured man was taken home, and medical assistance called in, but it is yet uncertain whether the injuries will not prove fatal. AN AGED LADY I3VRNED TO DEATR.—A melan eltoly and fatal accident, through burning, was investigated at an inquest held at Ripon, Yorkshire, on Thursday last. Mrs. Humphries, an independent widow lady, over eighty yearn of age, residing in Park.street: Ripon, in lighting the candles in her sitting-room on Sunday, the 11th inst., struck a limiter match, whi ch she threw i nto the grate, as she believed, but really on the floor near the chair on which she was seated, being very infirm. Presently her silk drew became ignited, and the aged invalid was instantly enveloped in flames. At this moment Mr. R. M. Bowman, surgeon, entered her room on a friendly visit, and promptly snatching a woollen cover from a table, threw it over her, and thus extinguished the flames. The unfortunate lady was dreadfully burned, and lingered only till the fol lowing Thursday noon. The coroner's jury returned a verdict according with the above facts. Tag HARVEST Peosrscrs.—The Gardeners Mronide and Apricalnsrai Gazette, after giving • table, founded on numerous harvest reports of its own, under the headings " o v e r averag e," " average " and " under average," remarks :—" It will be seen from this table that wheat promises a leas satisfactory yield than even 1865' and 181'6; but barley is probably an average crop as re gards quantity o f yi e ld, b u t muc h of it must be of very inferior quality. Oats are a better crop than they have been for the last two years. Beans are generally remark ably good ; but peas are considerably inferior to last year's crop, which was unusually good. For the rest, there is generally a fair promise of green crops, mantels, and 1 9ThiPs ; potatoes exhibit more than usually abundant ' , Ps of disease ; and there hay been a very heavy crop cf hay, most of it well got in."

The speculative movement for the fall in the railway market has apparently received a decided check. For some time back sales have been pressed on the anticipation of further unfavourable revela tions regardifig the position of railway property, which it was necessarily inferred would cause a further decline in this department. An important portion of the public do not, however, seem to have shared in this view. The numerous class of small operators, especially in the country, have been steadily purchasing, and being able at the present lovr value of money to obtain loans from their bankers with comparative facility, have taken up their stock and withdrawn it for the time from the market. Hence the scarcity that has been shown at each succeeding settlement. It is also to be noted that, notwithstanding the long prevalent distrust, bona fide investments, although to a mo derate extent only, have exceeded the realizations. Again, the half-yearly accounts are much more favourable than had been expected . ; the traffic receipts increase, and will probably increase still more now that wo have at last a fair prospect of an abundant harvest. What is of equal value is the evident determination of railway shareholders to put an effectual stop to the scandals which have 80 long prejudiced one of the most important interests of the kingdom. These influences com bined have necessarily created a reaction in favour of railway property which is more than likely to continue. - Ineeting of the Berlin Waterworks Company (Limited)was held yesterday.
