It had been blowing fresh all day, but the evening broke into clear fine weather at sunset, the wind almost dying quite away, tied the stars shining brightly. Suddenly the telegraph wires from the Ad enmity at 7 o'clock signalled to the substations and forts to "expect a gale from the south-west with a chop round to north.weat." At the time it looked most unlikely ; but about midnight the gale arose, and blew great guns all night, accompanied with tremendous gusts and heavy rain. Little as we yet know of the laws which regulate what is commonly called " the weather," yet we are beginning, by a careful study of their effects, to bend to our service the results of our long records of their mysterious changes ; and it is clear that the p.iblic money voted for this deportment is already beginning to bear good interest for its outlay—Army end Saes, Maine.

How To CARRY FLOWERS. —When sent by post is better than wrappiog them in oiled paper • when otherwise a piece of wet sponge fastened inaide • wooden box, or layers of wet brown paper, or wet flannel ea • lining to the box, or freshly gathered cabbage leaves with their under side placed next the flowers, are unobjec tionable. If the box is of tin well secured at the lid, then • source of constant moisture is lees requisite, for the leaves and flowers themselves will form an atmo sphere of sufficient dampness for a short time. Another method which answers extremely well when flowers are gathered in dry weather, is, as soon as they Sr. cut to throw them into a bag, like • carpetbag, made of mackintosh. If the snap of such an article closes well, flowers will remain fresh all day long in • broiling suo, as some botanical tra vellers well know. The reason why such flowers are pre served is still the same—the air around them is damp. Tourists who bust after wild flowers, or ferns, should pro vide themselves with a bag of this description.—Gardener's Chronick. Aso uea BLONDIN.—It apposes that the great Blond, is not allowed to wear his laurels without shal -1 "Great English Rope-walker," rejoicing in the hWtlying name of D'Alberte, is an no unced to appear at the ROYPavilion Gardena, North Woolwich, on Monday, on a rope 1,000 feet long and 150 high, and go through • series of feats similar to those of the Niagare hero. The acrobat world has viewed with uneasiness the monopoly by Blow:bra of all the honours, and we shall now see whether be will have to resign said thern.—Bra. Tar KINGWOOD MURDZIL—LoraI John Russell, as Secretary of State for Foreign Affair, has had the peen liar arcumstano, surrounding this terrible murder oekially communicated to him by Sir Richard Mayne, and we under stand his lordship has expressed his anxious desire to assist the police authorities in every way in his power to bring the guilty pa tties to justice. With this object in view the noble lord has conferred with Lord Wodehouse, the Under Seam tary of State for Foreign Affair, and the remelt of the eon ferenoe, we have every reason to believe, has been the de itoh of minute instructions to the British Consul at Nesdee to make stringent inquiries of the authorities there, and also at Koniptein, in order to establish the identity of the owner of the official book issued at the latter place to Johann Carl Franz, supposed to be the man now under re mand to Horsemonger-lane Gaol on the charge of being on awned in the murder of Mn. Halliday. Although the Metropolitan Folios authorities seemed for the last few days to have ' last the ecest," it hes been followed up with great success by the-. City Detective Force, who believe they are now in 'on of mart nimble information both se re gards e present whereabouts of Krohn and his previous association with the man who has been remanded by the Reigate magistrates. MURDER or • CHILD.—The town of Colchester was yesterday thrown into • state of excitement consequent on the disoof the body of • female (child, about rive or six mouths In the River Cohn, near the Castle pub lic-house. North-street. It appears that Mr. Gardener, • pupil of Mr. Servant, the architect, went down to the water side for the purpose of hiring • boat, when he saw the feet of a child above the water. He drew it to the land, when he found that it was the body of a fine healthy child, about six mouths old, with • nick attached to the wrist by a piece of blue rilaind—apparently a bonnet-string. The child was warm on its discovery, and had apparently been in the water only a abort time. No due to the perpetrator of the horrible deed has yet been discovered. An inquest was held in the afternoon, and adjourned till Monday. BOILIZ EXPLostoN AND Loss or Lira.—Shortly between o'clock on Thursday morning an accident involving the loss of one life aud the serious injury of several other persons occurred oo the premises occupied by Mmes. Stubbs, cal sou , and Co., carrying on business as manufacture, of indiarubber webbing, he., Wilmer's-gardens, High-street, Holton. About fifty pecans, men, women, and children, are employed at the works, and the time of commencing their work is six o'clock. Shortly before that time seven of the people had assembled in the engno-nom, which is con tiguous to the workshop, waiting admittance there, and while the foreman was in the act of unlocking the door the boiler burst, knocking down and seriously scalding six of them, the foreman at the time (John Andrews) being com paratively unhurt. Hearing, however, the cries of one of them, a young man named Farrell, who was nearest the boiler at the time of the explosion, and who was lying on the ground exposed to the full force of the steam, Andrews nulled assistanoe, and succeeded in extricating him, but not before he was himself severely &aided. Had the accident occurred a few minutes later, the coorequenees would in all probability have been still more disastrous, as Ly that time the whole of the workpeople would have arrived. As soon as possible medical assistance was pro cured, and the whole of the sufferers, with the exception of Andrews, who was taken to hie own residence, were conveyed to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, where they still remain. The young man Farrell lingered in the greatest agony for about six hours, when death terminated his sufferings. Au inquest is to be held on his body to-day. The following are the names of the other injured persons : William Ratcliff, aged 46 ; Samuel Gill, ; Sarah Sao dells, ; and Walter Hampton, 11, scalded severely ; sod John Andrews, the foreman, and Alfred Bennett, 14, slightly. The cause of the accident is at present un known. . . DORCHENTEH G sot. —On Thumlay evening Bruce alias Carpenter, the convict who escaped from Dorcheate; Gaol the previous afternoon, was brought back by police oonstable Hymen, who had apprehended him in the neigh bourhood of Pudilletown.woost about five miles off. It was found that be bad not sustained anything like the injury which might be imagined from the desperate nature of his leap, his foot only having been bruised in falling after his summersault over the wall, and this be says be was afraid would have prevented his proceeding farther. He is a slight active mac, and expresses his intention of making smother attempt. TRAFFIC RECEIPTS. —The traffic receipts of rail ways in the United Kingdom for the week ending the 29th of June amounted to 568,080/., and for the conteponding week of last year to 9.13,080/. ; showing en increase of 5,0001. The pose receipts of the eight ruilwaya having their termini in the metropolis amounted to 357,7221., sad for the corresponding week of 1800 to 1.112,42.11., showing a decrease of 4,7071. The d ecrease on the Eastern Counties Railway amounted to 1,7431. ; on the Great Northern to 1,795 7 .; on th o Great Western ho 1,1531.; on the London and North Western to 3,01*/. ; and on the Loudon, Brighton, and South Coast to :5871.—total, 8,2861.

The funds this morning have shown steadiness, but during the last hour the market has become rather dull. Consols are now quoted 1-16 to i per cent. lower than they closed yesterday. In the other departments of the Stock Exchange, in the absence of business, there is no variation worth mentioning. Turkish Bonds, however, con tinue to meet with attention. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes opened at 67fr. 82c., being nearly the same as yesterday. Consols are officially marked 891 and 1, ex div., for money, and 89i, ex div., for the account. The present quotations are 89f to f for money, and 891 for next Wednesday's settlement. The official business report is as follows : Bank Stock, 230 ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 891, 89 ; New Three per Cents., 891, 89 ; India Stock, 218; ditto Five per Cent. Stock, 981, ex div. ; ditto for account, 981, ex div. ; ditto Bonds, 10s. dis. ; Five per Cent. " enlaced" rupee paper, 941 ; Exchequer Bills, March, Ils. dis. ; ditto June, Is., ss. dis. In the foreign stock market the principal trans actions have again been in the Turkish Loan of 1858, winch retains an upward tendency, and has been dealt in from 60 to 64. The Loan of 1854 is marked 75 to 751, being also firm. Mexican bonds remain dull. Sales are recorded as follows :—Maxican Three per Ceuta., for account, 221, 22 ; Russian Three per Cents., 1889, 61/ ; Sardinian Five per Cents., for account, 781 ; Spanish Three per Cents., for account, 481, ex div. ; ditto New Deferred, Three per Cents. for account, 411 ex div. ; the Committee's Certificates, 51, is, ex div. ; Turkish Six per Cents., 1854, for account, 75, 1 ; ditto Six per Ceuta., 1858, 601 ; ditto for account, 601, 1, 601 ; ditto 1001. bonds, 621, 62. Lord John Russell will reoeive the proposed de putation of Mexican Bondholders at the Foreign office on Monday next, the Bth inst., at 4 o'clock. The mail steamer for America to-day has taken 109,6501. in specie. Tex MINUTEB rear Two. Consols are firmer again at 891 to /, ex div., for money and the present settlement. The discount market was rather tight yesterday, and it was only in comparatively few came that transactions occurred below the Bank rate. The applications at the Bank were to a fair extent, but not pressing. It is understood that a large portion of the increase lately shown in the " other securities " consists of advances on government securities, re payable on the payment of the dividends. In the Coneol market money was tight, and com manded 6 per cent. on government securities. There is an impresaion that the reserved price for the new Indian Loan will probably be fixed at 98. The tendency of the Vienna Bourse is lees hopeful, owing partly, perhaps, to the menacing declarations recently made in the Turin parliament. Some of the Exchequer Bills bought with a view to making the deposits on railway schemes before parliament appear . to have been sold latterly. About 12, 0001 . in gold was bought by the Bank yesterday. The Celt will take 10,0001. for the Cape of Good Hope. The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon were decidedly firm, and the immediate tendency seems to be favourable. Subjoined is our usual list : Aresterdeas, 3 mouths, 12.11 to I ; ditto 3 days, 11.19/ to I ; Rotterdam, 3 months, 12.11 to 2 ; Antwerp, meths, 25.621 to 7 3 ; Hamburg, ma. bmoo, 3 months, 13.10 t to t ; Peri, 3 days, 25.35 to 40 ; MO*, 3 months, 25.674 to 70 ; Frankfort-owthe-liente, 3 mon t 1191 to 1 ; •Petersburg (per rouble), 3 months, 323 to 3 ; Vienna, ed. do., 3 mouths, 14.35 to 45 ; Trieste, eff.

The present rate of discount in the open market at Paris is 41 per cent. ; Vienna, 6 • Amsterdam, 3; Ham burg, 21; Frankfort, 2 ; Berlin, 3/ ; Brus sels, 3 ; and Turin, 61 per cent. Some attention is directed to the evidences of financial distress reported from Russia. The go vernment, itself embarrassed, can apparently do little for the relief of the commercial dames. Mean while, the French government has countenanced the launching of another large railway loan, even before the last one has been digested. The mails from Bombay and Mauritius have left Malta for Marseilles. The half-yearly meeting of the Loudon Dock Com pany took place yesterday ; the dividend recom mended and agreed to was If per cent. for the six months, less income tax. At the annual meeting of the Peel River Land and Mineral Company, also held yesterday, a dividend at the rate of per cent. was declared, the directors' report being adopted. In connexion with the result of the law case reported yesterday, it is understood that the United Kingdom Telegraph Company will open their lines to Birmingham, Manchester, and Liver pool as soon as possible. The charge for messages to or from those places will be la. for twenty words. We are requested to state that the lists of appli cation for shares in the National Company for Boat Building by Machinery (Limited) will be closed on Monday, the 15th instant From the arrangements conditionally entered into by the directors, no doubt is entertained but that the practical operations of the Company will be com menced without delay. This is deemed desirable owing to the large number of applications already received for bouts of various sizes. There were more inquiries yesterday for Victoria government debentures. The Gazette specie statement for the week end ing Wednesday last gives the following totals, viz. :—lmports of gold, 238,947 f. ; exports of gold, 523,173!. ; imports of silver, 521,1231. ; exports of silver, 119,7331.
