THE public appetite for foreign stocks has mani fested itself very strongly during the hat few While home investmentshave been com- parstively neglected, those of foreign origin have been much sought after, and in many instances a considerable advance has occurred in prices. This _ .. movement had already been designated u probable, considering the extraordinary state of the money market. At a time when the rate of discount for the best bills is only 1 to l per cent. per annum, when only lor 1 per cent. is obtainable for loans on deposit or " at call" with the banks and dis count establishments, and when the supply of all home railway stocks possessing preferential rights or guarantees is so limited that an investment of magnitude can hardly be effected in them at all, foreign stocks, offering and actually paying rates of interest varying from 5 to 11 per cent. per annum, naturally possess a . - strong attraction. It seems a reasonable arrange ment that, as the stagnation of trade and the now limited extent of the home field for joint-stock enterprise preclude the possibility of using up here our large surplus of capital, we should despatch it abroad to take advantage of the much more re munerative prices offered for the use of it by foreign governments or public associations. When Turkey bids 10 or 11 per cent., and Portugal 7 per tcent., for what is at present of scarcely any use at home, the exportation of capital becomes a natural arrangement which it would be sheer folly to denounce or attempt to prevent. It is a hackneyed saying that money, like water, will find its level in spite of all obstacles. By this it is not meant that, supposing the value of money to be 2 per cent. here and 20 per cent. in Turkey, the article must necessarily flow from this country until Turkey is likewise supplied at 2 per cent. Our 2 per cent. is a perfectly safe return, involving no trouble whatever to the capitalist, whereas the 20 per cent. proffered in Turkey may be, and no doubt is, surrounded by great risks—risks which affect not merely the interest but the principal, and the avoidance of which entails great trouble and ceaseless vigilance. Weighing everything, moat persons will probably consider a safe 4 or 5 per cent. at home a better return than a doubtful 12 or 20 per cent. in Turkey, and this is the sort of calculation which ordinarily preserves us from atoo keen participation in the frequent and violent vicis situdes of foreign money markets. But when money accumulates here to such an extent that the rate, instead of standing at an average point, falls to 2 per cent., or less, while the terms abroad remain as high as ever, or, perhaps, still ascend, the home capitalist, with his money rusting, is dazzled. De mand begets supply, and, under such circumstances, foreign securities make their appearanoe in large numbers in the London money market. The capitalist who wishes to put his money out at the high rates current abroad need not take any trouble to ship it off, for there are plenty of accommo dating people who, instead of making him take a trip to the foreign market, will wait upon him, as it may be said, in his own office or his own par lour, and there hand him the voucher conveying the liability of the foreign borrower. In the olden times a capitalist might desire his London agent to instruct a foreign agent to employ his money abroad at good usance, but now-a-days he has only to walk into an office or two in the City, and he may have a choice of scrip or bonds bearing the attested signature of the agents of half-a-dozen foreign governments. Great indeed are the modern facilities for exporting English capital when it becomes of burthensome amount. It is curious to remark that a sum- mar's sun is not a bit more successful in bringing out butterflies than is a propitious money market in bringing out foreign loans and other se curities. It might be difficult at first sight to dis cern any direct connection, in the nature of cause and effect, between a fall in the rate of interest here to two per cent., and a sudden discovery of " tightness" in the Exchequers of his Imperial Highness the Sultan of TUIILNY, or his Highness the Viceroy of Lim, or his Excellency the venerable General PAU, of Venezuela. Yet it is an unquestionable fact that though foreign potentates and rulers manage to carry on from year to year without troubling us, if we are sufficiently busied with oar usual avocations to keep our rate of interest op at the healthy point of four or five per cent. ; directly our riches increase, or our in dustry slackens, so as to throw money down to an unremunerative point, foreign governments inva riably discover that there is something which they have got to do with our help, and which really must be done immediately. Perhaps they disin terestedly want to assist commerce by reforming their currency—a phrase which, being interpreted, occasionally means that they make a practice of putting the printing press to work and issuing inconvertible paper money during an those periods when they cannot borrow in London, taking their chance of redeeming it at those recurring periods when Jons Bora. is in a humour to aocommodate them. Or they have railways to make—an ostensible Issue of railway capital being, in the astute chancelleries of some foreign States, a means of getting • loan in dis guise. Or, failing these pretexts, it is found that there is something else to be done which com merce, when appealed to, cannot but own ought TH I to be accomplished ; the result being captious capitalist can scarcely find a to hang an objection. Unusual pains are now taken by foreign governments to have none but unexceptionable motives in raising loans, and it must be admitted that in this respect some of the loans lately brought forward are perfect models. The public are not too precise in observing pe. ; culiarities of the kind, yet cannot help being struck with the strange accord now witnessed amongst foreign Powers. Were a philanthropist of extreme aspirations to be told that a time was at hand when the governments of the world would pursue one common policy, he would probably put on his spectacles and look out for the Millennium or some such long-anticipated climax. How great would be his delight were he assured, with all the in fallibility of second sight, that the Christian, the Mohammedan, the Turk, and the Russian would meet with one and the same object. The fact is literally so, for the representatives of Turkey, Russia, Egypt, Morocco, Venezuela, Peru, and Portugal, have all been simultaneously in London, but Booth to say, though the individual object of each is the same, they are not bent upon a joint or harmo nious action. They have rushed into the market almost in a body—certainly three or four abreast —positively jostling one .another in their zeal to put their currencies right, or to help public im provements in some way. Trade ought certainly to get on after this, for the anxiety of ministers and statesmen to help her is quite refreshing. Seriously, however, it is a question whether there is not a little too much of this. Let us cast up the total amount of new foreign stock in course of placement hero during this present week. There is-1. 5,000,0001. of Portuguese Stock ; 2. 1,000,000/. of Venezuelan ; 3. 1,097,600/. of Egyptian ; and, 4. 5,500,0001. of Peruvian. The total of the above is upwards of twelve millions and a half of new stock, and, after allowing for the por tionof the Portuguese Loan that goesto Lisbomas well as for the fact that a large slice of the Peruvian is expected to be taken merely by way of exchange for the existing bonds, it will be apparent that it is impossible for us to go on in this way without mischief. We shall act very foolishly if we expose ourselves to inconvenience in a matter where, with ordinary care, we may entirely avoid it. If new foreign stocks are to be multiplied so swiftly, they will infallibly drag each other down, and the subscriber's profit, which constitutes his sole in ducement to enter into them, will be cut away. Considering the extent of the present resources of the market, which have been' largely in creased by withdrawal from American securities of some millions of money now available for investment in other securities, we do not absolutely affirm that harm has already been done, but if a suspicion once struggles into the public mind that things are going too fast in this direction, premiums will become less plentiful than they have been, and the subscribers to the new loans will have at their backs less of that margin for insurance the advisability of which is naturally suggested to prudent minds by the consideration of the increased risks attaching to foreign investments. it the mm Cbe Court.

The enlistments continue somewhat inactive. Vigorous efforts and further inducements to volun teering continue to be made. A portion of General Pope's command has made & descent upon the Virginia Central Railroad, 35 miles from Richmond, destroyed the railroad, the telegraph line, and a quantity of Confederate stores. Great excitement prevails at Nashville. The Federal pickets have been driven iu , and the Con federates are reported to be within five miles of that city. Arran - gements have been concluded for a general exchange of prisoners. President Lincoln has issued an order forbidding military commanders to exact the oath of allegiance from foreigners. In all cases where an alien is de prived of, his liberty a full account of the circum stances must be sent to the War Department, for the consideration of the State Department. The Governor of Ohio has issued a proclamation, to the effect that if the quota of troops demanded is not raised in forty days, he will resort to drafting. Federal military governors have been appointed for Louisiana and Arkansas. At the request of the British government, General Butler has recognised Mr. Coppell, the British acting Consul at New Orleans. A street riot has occurred in New Orleans, aimed by the arrest of a female wearing a secession badge. The British steamer Adele has been captured east of Abaco. The New York and City of Washington have arrived out. The Axis was intercepted off Cape Race on the 21st instant. (Per Europa, by telegraph to Halifax, and from Queenstown.) NEW YORK, JQLY 24, Moimuto. The secession members of the municipality of Baltimore have twice rejected a resolution making appropriation for volunteers. They were threat ened by the mob, and it is found necessary for the police to guard their residences against violence. The Federal Captain Porter's fleet of mortar boats has returned to Orleans from Vicksburg. The price of flour is quoted 20 dole. per barrel ; fresh meat 30e. to 40c. per lb. The Richmond Enquirer of July 19 says :—" We are informed that Lord St. Maur, son of the Duke of Somerset, who left Richmond on the 15th under a flag of truce for General M'Clellan's head-quarters, was not allowed to proceed on his homeward journey, but was sent back to Richmond, and his baggage detained by the Federals." Southern papers say that the mortality among the Federal prisoners at Richmond is very great. Mr. Alonzo Upham has been appointed judge, to reside at Cape Town, under the Anglo-American treaty for the suppression of the slave trade. The steamer Golden Gate sailed from San Fran cisco on the 21st of July, with 1,000,000 dollars in specie for New York, and 270,000 dollars for Eng land. Ex-President Van Buren is dead. NEW YORK, JULY 24, EVENING. Much public despondency exists, and the people appear inclined to take more gloomy views of the position of affairs than at any time since the com mencement of the struggle. The popular confi dence in General M'Clellan appears shaken by the late events before Richmond, and many of his admirers now assert that he is not the man o action. All coin of every description has almost entirely disappeared as a circulating medium, and postage stamps of all denominations are generally employed for small change. The public freely accept them as currency ; many articles of daily use are, how ever, advanced in price. Some anxiety exists to hear the comments in Europe upon the news of the Federal check before Richmond. General HaHeck has been officially appointed as General-in-Chief to command all the land forces o the United States. The appointment has been favourably received by the public. President Lincoln has issued a proclamation authorising the military commanders to seize and use for the Federal army all property, real and per sonal, in the rebel States which may be necessary for military purposes. Property may be destroyed for military purposes, but not otherwise. The mili tary and naval commanders shall employ as many negroes for labourers as can be advantageously used for military or naval purposes, and pay them wages. Reinforcements for General M'Clellan continue to arrive at Fort Monroe. Interesting news has been received from General MClellan's headquarters. A portion of General Pope's command had a successful skirmish with the Confederate cavalry beyond Fredericksburg, burnt their camp, and captured some stores. Confederate advices state that the iron clad ram Arkansas came out of the Yazoo river on the 15th and ran through the Union fleet above Vicksburg, and anchored under the batteries at that city. The Southern papers report that all the Union vessels below Vicksburg put off down the river to escape the ram after the engagement. • A special despatch to the Chicago Times, from Memphis on the 20th, says the Arkansas succeeded in running through the whole fleet, and that Far ragut made an ineffectual attempt to sink her. His entire fleet passed down the river, each vessel pouring a broadside into her as she passed. The rebels acknowledge that one 7-inch steel pointed shot went through her, but assert this is the only damage she sustained. The reconnoissance the next morning showed that the Arkansas was undergoing repairs, but she did not appear to be in any danger of sinking. The Navy Department at Washington bad re ceived the following official account :—" Cairo, July 21.—Tbe rebel gunboat Arkansas, with 12 rifle 68-pounders, came out of Yazoo River on Tuesday. She encountered the Tyler, Carondolet, and ram Lancaster. After a running fight of 10 miles the Carondolet closed with the rebel vowel Both vessels grounded side by side, the rebel being ahead, maintaining a running fight, until the fleet was reached. Our transports being in range prevented an effective fire from our gunboats. The Arkansas succeeded in getting to Vicksburg under the shelter of their batteries, to appearance much injured. Total Union loss 27 killed and wounded. Among them are the engineer and pilot of the Tyler. Ferragut's entire fleet is below Vicksburg. Our vessels received but slight damage. (Signed) " Gaonoz D. Wise, " Captain and Assistant-Quartermaster-General" The following is the Confederate sooount of the engageikent : " VICKSBURG, JOLT 15. "We engaged to-day from 6to 8 a.m., with the enemy's fleet above Vicksburg, consisting of four or more iron-clad vessels and two heavy sloops of war, and four gunboats and. seven or eight rams. We drove an iron-clad **ore with colours dolga and disabled, blew niti, ram, burned one vesscd, and damaged several others.

The Confederates under General Morgan in Kentucky have retreated before the Federals, and zed through Cumberland Gap into Tennessee. The Confederates are reported to have retired from before Nashville, and the fears of an attack upon that city have subsided. The Confederates, after a severe fight, have cap- tared Greenville, Missouri. The Governor of Missouri has Maned orders for the organisation of the entire militia of Missouri, to'resist the Con federate guerilla incursions. It is asserted that the Confederates demand the surrender of the Federal general Butler, for the alleged murder of Mr. Mnmford at New Orleans, and that they threaten to hang General Weal' if refused.

In to-day's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies the discussion upon the bills for the Neapolitan railways was continued. The Minister of Finance (Signor Bastoggi) stated that he considered the engagement of the promoters of the scheme to undertake the works immediately as being meant literally, and declared that he accepted the modifications of the bill pro posed by the committee.

The Italia publishes an address froM some of the Roman ladies to Garibaldi, in which they say that " Rome may now be called the land of the dead," but that they look for deliverance to Garibaldi The following is Garibaldi's reply : Roman Ramona, Some or death! I have hand these words resound from the lovely slopes of Sebeto to the piled•up rocks of the Alps. Rome or death ! That is the oath taken by the proud sons of Pakistan and Palermo. Women ! do not blaspheme by milieu Rome the laud of the dead. Row could there be dead in the heart of Italy —in the heart of the world? The ashes of Rome, the ashes of her unhappy eons have bten buried, but these ashes are so impregnate with life as to be able to regenerate the world. home is • word that will arouse peoples as the tempest raises the waves. Rome, the mother of Italian grandeur. Was it not its history of giants, its wonderful miss, that kindled in my young soul the flame of the beautiful, the ardour of generous designs. Rome ! oh, Rome! who is not urged by thy very name to take arms for thy deliverance' Who feels not thus has not deserved the tender embrace of • mother, the ardent kin; of • lover. Such • cue has only to restore • base heart to its original okay. Ladies, lam with you to death. Garibaldi has issued at the same time a manifesto to the &laves, which would seem to indicate, if his language is to be interpreted literally, that it was in that quarter he was going to attempt an expedition. The manifesto of the celebrated Italian patriot is almost equivalent to an appeal to the people to rise in insurrection. POLAND. It appears from a report of the Municipal Com missioners of Warsaw, datkd the 19th of July, that 14,833 persons, or one-tenth of the whole popula tion of Warsaw, had been imprisonei sine the be ginning of the year. This does not include the persons imprisoned in the fortress, with which the Municipal Council have nothing to do. °mutt.

(or about 90 F.) EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (TROY OCR OWN coameomnarr.) PARIS. SUNDAY IMMO. Telegrams from Italy in rapid succession speak continually of Garibaldi and his volunteers, but throw no light upon his real projects. The situa tion is so strained that the ensuing week must bring an eciairrissement. While KRatazzi tells the parliament that he is determined to pot down ; all extra-legal recruiting, while Colonel Acerbi, Garibaldi's intimate friend, is arrested at Turin, i and while the provisional prefect of Palermo pro- , claims that "no name, however dear to the nation, can be permitted to usurp the prerogatives of Vic tor Emmanuel," Garibaldi lets the warnings addressed to him pass by as idle wind, and the very latest news is that in a proclamation, dated from Bois-Fienzzi, a little village of the province of Corleone, in Sicily, and addressed to his young companions in arms, he calls upon them, without asking where they are going or what they are to do, to be ready for an approaching combat against "arrogant foreign oppressors," and promises them that "Sicilians shall once more be the precursors of the grand destinies to which the country is called." It is curious that the French government journals, for one reason or another, abstain to-day from any tirades against Garibaldi The Constitutionnel says that the reflections caused by his letter to the ladies of Rome, which were on the tip of its pen, are suspended by the following monstrous announce ment of the Giornale di Rosso : Catholic Religious Academy.—On Thursday, July 31, at 6 P. X. , in the great hall of the Roman Archiumnasium, the illustrious Abbe Fabric, prefect of studies and librarian of the archiepisoopal seminary of Udine, will develop the fol lowing thesis :—The church, in opposing modern principles of progress, liberalism, and civilisation, is the preserver of civilisation, progress, and liberty. The Petrie says it will make no comment to-day upon Garibaldi's Bois-Fienzzi proclamation. According to the Independanee Beige, the Empe ror's treatment at Vichy has been deranged by his serious uneasiness about the affairs of Italy ; be has assured M. Vimercati that the present state of things cannot continue any longer, and that the Moniteur will probably soon make public some very important decision of his Majesty. The Moniteur publishes the important news that the commercial treaty with Prussia is at length signed. The Austrian campaign against it seems to have bean singularly unsuccessful. Saxony, Nassau, and Batten have declared themselves ready to adhere to the treaty. The old King of Wurtem berg will probably stick by Austria, the marriage , of Prince Philip of Wurtemberg with the sister of the Austrian Empress being now about to come off. If it be true, as alleged, that the Servian govern ment has withdrawn its pretensions to have the fortress of Belgrade demolished, the conference now going on at Constantinople will probably come to a friendly and insignificant end, and the great " Eastern question," which many politicians have lately thought was on the eve of a stormy solution, will once more stand over eine die. General Count Hector de Samna; with an ' 1 imposing suite, arrived at the Hotel Bristol last night, en route from Turin to St. Petersburg, whither be goes as the first Ambassador from the King of Italy to the Emperor of Russia. General Concha, Ms,rquis of Havanna, the new Spanish Ambassador, has arrived at Bayonne, and will be in Paris ou Tuesday. It is announced that his official reception by the Emperor will not take place till August 15—the Napoleon fête day. The Patric says that in the early part of Novem ber, when the French army under General Foray will be marching upon the city of Mexico, a naval division will make a demonstration on the coasts of Sonora and Old California, " it being important to watch the events which may be going on at that epoch in those countries." During the storm of last night the Prince Eugene barracke,at the corner of the Boulevard du Temple, were struck by lightning. But for the light ning conductor which the electric fluid followed the building would in all probability have suffered con siderable damage. As it was the men in the guard house, both those standing and those sitting, were thrown to the ground by the violence of the shock and one of them sprained his wrist severely. Two sentries on duty in the barrack yard also lost their footing. MCATHSIL IMPORT.-(THIS DAY.) MONDAY. AVGUST 4 9 9.119 B. L. LL. D. 9.0.

Considerable excitement has been caused in Out usually quiet village of Street Cobham, which is about four miles from the Weybridge railway station, in consequence of the following extraordinary occurrence, by which the lives of two gentlemen have been sacrificed under circum stances of a peculiarly painful and distressing character. It appears that about eight o'clock on the evening of Friday last two men, named Eyles and Organ, were paring through a wood, when they were ►ttracted by a strong smell, and oa going to the spot from whence it proceeded they discovered the bodies of two men who had apps_ re• ntly been dead for several days, which pre ✓ented a most horrifying spectacle. Without remainia to examine the bodies they at once hastened to the village - _ and gave information of the circumstance to police-con stable Lovell, who, in company with Mr. Webb, surgeon, repaired to the place and made a minute examination of the bodies of the two deceased men. They were lying in a hollow space between two or three small birch trees, about 80 or 90 yards from the main road leading from Weybridge to Cobham, and about half • mile from the village. The spot was very secluded, and was probably selected on that account for the tragical contrreoce which has excited so much sensation in this locality. The head of one of the men wee found reclining upon the other's breast ; the face of the latter and • portion of his body being covered with a rug. The uppermost man had been shot through the lower jaw, and the ball, after passing through the inner part of the head, effected its exit upon the top of the skull neer the crown. This wes apparently the younger of the two, and at the time of his death be was wearing • wig, although it is conjectured that he was only about twenty years of age. Upon removing the rug from the other man the surgeon perceived • bullet-wound in the breast, which evidently caused death almost instan. taneously. He is 'opposed to have been about thirty years of age, but the bodies were in such • high state of putrefac tion as to render any other than a mere guess in that respect impossible. A discharged pistol was found lying close to the head of one of the men, and he was lying upon another pistol and • fish basket, as though he had thrown doe]] the deadly weapon and fallen upon it. A bottle containing • small quantity of port wine, of which the men bad evi dently partaken before closing their final career, was picked up close to the spot where the first-mentioned pistol was toned. On searching their pockets, the constable found the sum of if. la WA., a pocket-book containing several artificial flies for fishiog. some fish hooks, a spirit flask con taining • amallquaotity of pale brandy sod water, • tin box containing some percussion caps, a pill-box in which were two bullet', a small box key, a pair of tweezers. three white pocket handkerchiefs, and various other articles. The pockets of one of the men also contained • pair of socks, a collar, a light-coloured cap, and • pair of kid gloves. The caps worn by the unfortunate men were lying on the ground beside them. None of the articles toned upon the bodies afforded the slightest clue to lead to their identification • but in addition to those above-men tioned, a pocket - bo ok was fated bearing • written inscrip tion, which, however, bad been so much effaced as not to admit any possibility of being deciphered. The bodies were removed to the King's Arms Inn, about half • mile distant, where they await au inquest,. which, it is understood, will take place this morning. They presented • shocking spectacle • the face and throat of th e younger man being almost entirely consumed by maggots, so that that portion of his body bore the appearance of a skeleton • and the elder was equally sickening, the flesh being almost charred by the sou, and the features so far destroyed as to be quite unrecognisable. Their gentlemanly attire and the complete arrangement of their fishing tackle leave no doubt that the demised pencas were men of re. wectability, who bad evideatly left their homes to enjoy the pleasures of a piscatorial incursion, for which the river Mole in the neighbourhood is well adapted. A fishing rod was found on Monday last by • little girl named Sure Lasham, about 80 or 100 yards from the place where the bodies were discovered. It affords some satisfaction to know that on Saturday mornieg • little girl, who was minding some cows near the spot, picked up a piece of paper which proved to be a circular tamed by "S. Henderson, tailor end outfitter, Holloway-gate," on the back of which were written in pencil, in • bold, gentlemanly hand, the follow ing words :—" Whoever finds this body will confer a great favour on one who cam never ask another, if he will take the gloves the writer wears to— (here • name was written, and afterwards effaced by the writer to render it illegible), and tell her that he died blessing her and praying for her happiness. And the writer asks with hie dying breath that -- will love —, sod he asks to be -- (illegible) dearly for his sake ; and he mks forgiveness from all whom he may pain by thus going away to die, but he is too unhappy to live. And as the last re quest of her dying child, he asks his mother to love—same repeated and again effaced)—sod to take care of her as far as possible. And the writer most earnestly begs pardon from his poor old father, whom be is sorry to leave, but fate is too strong to resist. May God bless all those who bare been so good to me, and whom I have so ill requited ; but if my life were lived again, I am afraid I should do all I have done. As for my death, I die quite happy, and with • blissful feeling that I am going to rest. (Here • name was written, bat effaced) is nearly dead. I have promised to see hba safely dead before I quit --."_ He the writer ceased, and no doubt at once proceeded to terminate his own existence, after having first covered over with a mg the dead body of his companion. Another rug was lying by the side of himself. This appears to be the only instrument which throws the least light upon the melancholy affair. Two ipsn tlemen answering the description of the deceased visited the village on Thursday week last, and put up at the "Big White Lion," where they purchased a b o ttle of port wise, of which it is reasonably supposed the portion found lathe bottle on Friday evening formed a part. It in alas strongly suspected that the tragic affair took place on Thurs day week last On that day one of the gentlemen alluded to left a pocket-book at the " Big White Lion," in which were inscribed the following addresses :—"C.B., s.Langbon place, Briscoe, or 11, Angel-court, City." Communications have been forwarded to each of them Owes, but up to Satur day night no reply had been received. Ou Saturday after noon a small phial was found on the spot containing appa ropily a tincture for the toothache, on the cork of which was • wax impression beariug the name of • chemist (illegible) in Upper Holloway. This would lead to the supposition that one or both of the men came from that locality, as the circular before referred to was issued from the same place. Several pieces of burnt paper which formed part of a London and South-Western Railway time table were scattered about the spot, having been discharged from the pistols. Mr. Superintendent Holliogton, of Chertsey, visited the spot on Saturday, and despatched a messenger to Scotland yard; and be has since used every endeavour to ascertain the names and homes of the men, but np to this period without imceeei. The spot where the bodies were Ironed was visited yesterday by several hundreds of, peewee from Cobham and the adjacent neighbourhood. - - LATEST PARTICULARS.—(THIS DAY.) This morning great excitement has prevailed at Cob. ham and its neighbourhood, in consequence of the myste rious discovery of the two bodies in the wood as the morn moo, about half a mile from the town. The police have ern oertained who the young men are. Several peewee came from London last night and this macu lae, and one gentleman, who viewed the bodies, expressed an opinion that they were the eons of Mr. Bittleatone, wise carries on business as a naturalist at No. 11, Nevilleterrems klimmey-road. Mr. Brown, a harness maker, residing is Cobbam, proceeded to London and thence to Hormel, where he saw Mr. Bittlestone, and in a few momenta moo& transpired to afford a clue to the mystery. The two young men. it appears, left home together on the morning Thursday, the 24th ult., with the avowed intention of joie( down the South Western line to bah, but they did not state more decidedly to what part of the country they wewiLieil They left the Male at the Eaber-anstion, and walked the village and peat the palings of Claremont-park towards Cobham, where they visited two of the hotels, Fa/taking of moderate refreshment. At the White Lion they bad some port wine,) which, however, they appeared not to like, sad asked for some a little older. W ith this they were supplied, and, saying that it was very good, they ordered a bottle de it, and took it away with them in their basket The elder of the brothers woe thirty-Mx year* of age, the younger 23. The eider was armed with pedals but nothing was known of the fact until after the bodies were discovered. At first it was supposed in the neighbour hood that a horrible double murder bad been committed. for the purpose of robbery, but the finding of money in the pockets of both the unfortunate men, with other valuable pro perty about them, soon led to the conviction that no murder had been committed for that object. The investigation which has already taken place shows too clearly how the fatal acts were committed. No doubt can exist that the elder brother in a moment of uognardedases seized his younger brother and shot him through the bead, and that having laid him out as the ground and covered him with his railway wrapper he lay down beside him and shot himsel f through the heart. In that position they were found. The memorandum which was found indicates to some extent the Mate of mind of the elder brother, who, it is said, was of an erratic and roving dim 'lion, but no light Is thrown upon the motives which could have prompted him to murder his younger brother, for whom be always seemed to bear the strongest affection, and who is de seribed as a quiet, inoffensive, well-conducted young man. No quarrels of any hied are known to have taken place between times, and, as far ea can lie recollected by those who saw them on the morns og of their visit to Cob ham, they were cheerful and friey, and to all appear ance bent upon the sport they expected from their fishing tour. It is a somewhat remarkable fact that, although the young men promised to return to the ion at Cobham in the course of the evening, and although they were *beset from their homes more than a week, no inquiries were • made about them. Mr. Carter, the coroner, holds the inquest to-day, but we balm it in his intention only to take some formal evidence, Meader thatthe bodice mabe removed and interred, Tommie' until another day the fal ler investigation which the mysteri oft eireninstimore of the ere imperatively demand. - - FATAL BOATING ACCIDENT. —A melancholy acci dent oocurred yesterday (Sunday) on the NM* some nine miles from Prestos.
