FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 17, 1862. POLICE-THIS DAL MARLBOROUGH-STREET , COMMITTAL OF GENTLEMEN 'WITHOUT A FINE FOR ASSAULTING THE POLICE --clarles Bawood, Henry Betw,ol, of Clapham-terrace, and Alfred Kay, of 11, Grafton-street, Kentish-town, all gentlemanly young men, were charged before Mr, Knox with being drunk and riotous in Hemming's•row, St. Martin's, and assaulting Police-sergeant Horsey, 6 C. On being placed at the bar, the defendants said thay had not given their correct names, and that they were William Budd, and Hector and Frederick Nelson. Sergeant Horsey, 6C, said that at six o'clock yesterday evening, his attention was called to the defendants in Hemming's•row, and on going up he found them very dis orderly and making a great noise. A person told him (Horsey) that they had broken one of his windows. On requesting them to discontinue their noise and to leave, one of them knocked off his hat, struck him a violent blow on the heal, causing him great pain, and then the other two closed w;th him, and directly after he found himself on the ground, and while there he received several kicks. Some person in the crowd then called out, " Assist the police," and a person did so, and on two other constables coming up the defendants were got to the station. Shrives, 82 C, said he saw one of the defendants knock off tho sergeant's hat and another defendant knock him down. Budd said he had been dining with a gentleman, the other defendant's uncle, in the Haymarket, and had loot about £G, and one of the other defendants said he had lost his purse also, A person residing at 5, Spur-street, Leicester-square, said that one of the defendants, Hector Nelson, broke a pane of glass in his window of the value of 4s. The de fendants were pushing one another about in the street, and Hector was pushed through the window. Mr. Knox said the window was a trifling matter, but the other charge a serious one against persons in the defendants' position. He should order the defendant Hector to pay Is. fine and 4s. for the damage of the window. The defendants collected a crowd, behaved in a disorderly manner, and the officer then went up and told them to desist, when he was knocked down and kicked. The police must be protected in their duty. He (Mr. Knox) would like to know with what face could he send some wretcheJ, drunken creature to pri son if he did not act in the same manner towards the de fendants. A more unprovoked assault on an inoffensive officer who was doing his duty he never heard, and he should therefore commit the defendants for a month each. The defendants appeared astonished at the decision. Mr. Charles Barnes, of Bellevue House, Notting-hill, was charged with being drunk, and using obscene language towards Mrs Mason, wife of Mr. Thomas Mason, of the White Bear Tavern, Piccadilly. The defendant begged t.) offer his most sincere apology to Mrs. Mason for his conduct, and said that but for the fact that he was labouring under excitement, caused by drink, he should not have acted in such a manner. Mr. Knox said that if drink made him act in such a manner he had better not dank at all. He should have him bound over to keep the peace towards Mrs. Mason for three months, but if he came before him again he should send him to prison. LATEST BETTING.

The long-anticipated meeting for the purpose of express ing sympathy with Garibaldi was held to-day at the Lon don Tavern. Long before the hour appointed for the meeting the doors of the London Tavern were entirely blocked up by crowds of persons anxious to obtain admission. By degrees the public were admitted to the Long Room, and the first appearance bf anything like interruption was the rush that was made by the audience upon a number of reserved seats, which they instantly appropriated to their own comfort. Amongst the gentlemen on the platform were Mr. P. A. Taylor, Sergeant Parry, Dresser Rogers, Esq., and about a hundred other gentlemen. The following are the resolutions whicb are to be sub mitted to the meeting : Ist Resolution,—That this meeting desires to express its deep and heartfelt sympathy for Gen. Garibaldi in his pre sent sufferings ; its admiration of the strength, integrity, and noble patriotism of his character, and its earnest hope that he may be restored to perfect health, and live to see the aspiration of his life realised in a free, united, and con stitutional Italy." "2. That this meeting desclares its conviction that the French occupation of Rome is a violation of the rights of the Roman people and a direct infraction of the principle of non-intervention sanctioned by all the great Powers, and that its continuance endangers the real interests of France herself and the general peace of Europe." " 3. That copies of the foregoing resolutions signed by the ehairman on behalf of this meeting be forwarded to General Garibaldi and the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and that Earl Russell be earnestly and respectfully requested to use all means within his power to obtain the withdrawal of the French troops from Rowe." Precisely at two o'clock the chair was taken by Western Wood, Esq., M.P., amidst the most enthusiastic cheering. The CHAIRMAN, on rising to open the proceedings, said it was of the greatest importance in order that any gentle man who addressed them might be heard that silence should be preserved. (Hear.) The present meeting was held under peculiar circumstances, and„the assembling in the present apartment was held in consequence of the refusal of the Lord Mayor to grant them the use of the Guildhall. (Hisses.) When he was first applied to, he id not hesitate for a moment to consent to preside at a meeting, held for the purpose of expressing sympathy and admiration for the great General Garibaldi. (Loud cheers.) They did not, however, succeed under all toe obstacles that had been put in their way, and he re joiced to see such a numerous meeting as that before him, which would give the greatest joy to Garibaldi.

CRIME AND CurrroLlNE.—Mary M'Carthy, an Irish girl, aged 17, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with stealing a pair of boots, one chemise, one pair of drawers, two pocket handkerchiefs, one pair of stockings, one fork, one crinoline, three vests of cotton, and some tea and sugar, the property of her master, Mr. George Searle, of No. 3, Salmon-lane, Limehouse. The prisoner had been an indoor servant to Mr and Mrs. Searle for a fortnight only, and had been pilfering anything she could lay her hands on easily. Mrs. Searle first missed several articles ou Wednesday, the Bth inst., and, suspect ing the girl, immediately gave her warning to leave. Yes terday more property was missing, and, among other things, Mrs. Searle lost her OWD. crinoline, and charged the prisoner with stealing it. The girl stoutly denied hiving done so, on which Mrs. Searle raised the prisoner's crinoline and found her own beneath it. The prisoner was not satisfied with the ample dimensions of her crinoline, but was determined to add to it s amplitude by helping herself to the one belonging to her mistress. Two pairs of boots, the property of Mrs. Searle, were sewn to the interior of the prisoner's crinoline. They were quite new, and worth 20s. The prisoner was wearing a pair of stockings belonging to her mistress. On a female searcher stripping the prisoner she found in the sleeves of her dress two pocket handkerchiefs and a petticoat body. They were identified by Mrs. Searle as her property. The rest of the missing articles were found in the prisoner's box. The prisoner, an intelligent looking girl, pleaded guilty, and said she was very sorry indeed for what she had done, and would not do so any more. Mr. Selfe said it was very lamentable indeed to find a girl, only 17 years of age, in a good situation with respect able p , ogle, basely rotbing them, pilfering any and every thing she could lay her hands oa. If the prisoner had been younger he would have sent her to a reformatory. He could not pass over so flagrant a case as this without some punishment. He sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned for three months in the House of Correction and kept to hard labour. MARKETS---TIIIS DAY. MARK LANE. The fresh arrivals of English wheat to this morning's market were small. Good and fine samples changed hands steadily, at full prices, otherwise the trade was dull, at about Monday's currency, The supply of foreign wheat was large. Generally speak ing, the demand ruled inactive, but without leading to any quotable change in prices compared with Monday. Floating cargoes of grain were in moderate request, at late rates. Barley—owing to the limited supply on the stands-- ruled firm, at full currencies. Malt was steady as to price, but the business doing in it was very moderate. For oats the demand was in a sluggish state, at the late decline in prices. The show of samples, however, was but moderate, Beans and peas were dull, at Monday's decline in the quotations. In good and fine flour sales progressed steadily, at fu ll prices, but inferior qualities were difficult to sell. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley Malt. Oats. Flour.

THE WRECK OF TIIE GOLDEN GATE.—On the pas sage of the last steamer from San Francisco to Panama, the schooner Active was at Manzauilla, near the spat where the Golden Gate was wrecked. She had been sent down from San Francisco, under the command of Capt. Waterman, for the purpose of saving the 1,000,000 dots. in gold which was lost in the above steamer, but when the mail steamer passed the divers had gone back to San Francisco for further as sistance. The crew of the schooner were all sick, and Capt. Wt terman had gone into the interior for medicine. It was the opinion of the passengers that on the return of the divers the gold, or at least the greater portion of it, would be saved.—. New York Paper.

Lately he had given way to intemperate habits, which hastened his death. The verdict of the coroner's inquest was, "That the deceased died by the visitation of God from acute bronchitis, with delirium tremens, in a constitution broken by previous habits of in temperance." MEETING OF MIDDLESEX MAGISTRATES.—The usual meeting of magistrates of Middlesex was held yes terday at the Sessions-house, Clerkenwell. With reference to the memorial of Dr. Lankester, coroner of the central district of the county, asking for an increase of salary, the bench, after consideration, were of opinion that £1,218 17s. 6d. should be the remuneration fof the office. EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW RAILWAY.—The stock of this company has fallen in the market during the last two days from £B5 tl £Bo—namely, 5 per cent., equal in the aggregate to a loss of £llO,OOO. The Emperor Napoleon and the Empress are expected to proceed to Compiegne on Monday next. Grand hunting parties are organized to take place in the forest, and fetes will be given at the palace. There are to be four series of guests, each remaining a week. Of all short cuts, though, protect us from epi tome, abbreviation, or analysis of a book. It is sad to think how numerous they are. Crams are the curses of education. If a book is so diffuse that it can be cut down to one-fourth of its size without loss of influence, the re sidue is sure not to be worth the trouble bestowed upon it. Reading the analysis of a good book, instead of the book itself, is like swallowing a meal without mastication or dec nt delay, The facts are there, inside you, no doubt ; but the genius of the interior can make nothing of them. They are too solid. They have come in too sud denly. They are dry, tasteless, and unmanageable. Suppose we had doors to us—like patent stoves— and could put in our dinners, all at once, as we do coats on a fire with a scoop; do you think we should save either time or digestion ? But this is what the cram does. He pops a shovelful of dates, conclusions, formulas and likely facts into the pupil's head just where he thinks the examiner will dip in his net. They no more belong to the pupil than the goods which are brought over night by train and are carried away next morning by the van to the goods station do to the porter. The pupil is no better then he. He is not so good, he is not so honest. The porter transfers the parcel from one man to another ; the pupil is encouraged to put a new direction on the hamper and make the receiver believe that it came from him,—that it was his ; that he packed it full of his own honest property ; that it is a sample of his own possessions. In fact, the tutor sends a load of learning to the examiner, with instructions for the bearer to cheat the latter if he can. Of course the examiner can say nothing if the right answer is given to the question he puts, though he may feel sure that it no more comes from the examinee than a telegram does from the sparrow which sits upon the wire. The reply passes under the pert little animal's claw or hand while his empty head has no con ception of the reservoirs of intelligence and learning at either end of the course on which he is perched. He flies off, when it is all over, in conceited ignorance of the whose science machinery he has grasped for a minute. — Once aiWeek. FRENCH WINES IN SCOTLAND.—The difficulty in getting the French wines introduced into Scotland was the subject of discussion at the Edinburgh Chamber of Cam memo on Tuesday. The chairman (Mr. Richardson) said he had had a conversation with Mr. Cobden, when in Edin burgh a few days ago, on the subject, and that gentleman had since expressed his views to him in a letter. Mr. Cob den wrote The only way in which the consumptio is n French wine s can b e greatly promoted in this country is by their being genera ll y i ntroduced at moderate prices into ing hotels. I n th e l ong run more money i s ma d e bny selling low-priced than high-p r i ce d ar ti c l es . This has in Rowland good in be taken Hill's po.qage reform.

Mr. M 'Laren t g 'it of cheap wine was to be n i French wines, at moderate prices.

In the Confederate Congress on the 26th, a message was received from the Senate, stating that the Senate had agreed to the report of the committee of conference in relation to the bill further to provide for the public defence. Mr. Miles, of South Carolina, from the committee of con ference, reported that the committee recommended that the house concur in the report of the committee of conference. He said he was deeply impressed with the importance of speedy and harmonious action in relation to the subject be fore the house. It was found impracticable in the commit tee of conference to embody the features which were dis tinctly the features of the house bill. The bill nowreported was substantially the senate bill, with some slight, but very essenti4l, amendments. _ Mr. Boteler, of Virginia, obtained the floor. Mr. Foote hoped the gentleman did not rise to call the question. If he did, he appealed to him by every conside ration of courtesy and patriotism not to do it. Mr. Boteler replied that he was blind to any appeal to courtesy, and to everything but the welfare of his country, at the present moment. \Vhatevtr his will might have been, his patience was exhausted, and many an hour had been lost already in discussion. He had recently returned from the army of the Potomac, and he had heard the ap peals of soldiers made again and again asking when rein forcements were coming. It was now time that the eternal talk on this bill should cease. it was an easy matter to vote down the question if gentlemen did not desire to sus tain it, but he was impelled by a sense of public duty. He did call the question upon the bill, and he should adhere to it. The call of the question having been sustained, the yeas and nays were ordered on the passage of the bill, and were recorded as follows : Yeas.—Messrs. Baldwin, Barksdale, Batson, Boteler, Breckinridge, Chambers, Chilton, Collier, Conrad, Conrow, Curtin, Dargan, Dawkins, De Jarnett, Dupre, Elliott, Foster, Freeman, Gardenhier, Garland, Garnett, Gentry, Goone, Graham, Gray, Hartridge, Heiskell, Hilton, Hol comb, Holt, Johnson, Kenan, of Georgia, Kenan, of North Carolina, Kenner, Lander, Lyon, Machen, M'Rae, MeneeB, Miles, Moore, Munnerlynn, Pugh, Raiff, Read, Royston, Russell, Sexton, Swann, Tibbs, Vest, Wilcox, Wright, of Texas, and Mr. Speaker-54. Nays—Arrington, Bell, Bonham, Boyce, Bridgers, Cham bliss, Clapp, Clopton, Curry, Davidson, Davis, Farrow, Foote, Gartrell, Hanly, anis, Hechert, Jones, Lyons, Marshall, M'Dowell, M'Queen, Perkins, Preston, Smith, of Alabama, Strickland, Trippe, Welsh, and Wright, of Georgia-29. So the bill passed. Mr. Kenan, of Georgia, moved to reconsider the vote by which the bill had been passed. The measure just passed struck out the only adjustment, looking to peace, between the State and Confederate Governments, by which the House Bill had authorised the President to make a requi sition on the Governors of the States for the troops needed, Was it proper at a time like this to create dissension and collision in any State of this confederacy ? Where could be the objections to this feature of the bill? He would always sustain the Government, but there had always been dissension upon the Conscript Law. In the State of Georgia it had been declared to be null and void, because it was unconstitutional. He had no doubt but if the Presi dent were to make requisitions upon the Governors they would be complied with. He could tell gentlemen now there was danger of dissension between the Government and States in this confederacy. He hoped it could be avoided, but he greatly feared it would come. Therefore h• appealed to the house to reconsider the vote by which they passed the Senate Bill. Mr. Foote said that he was very happy that the gentle man from Georgia had found that opportunity to address the house which the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Boto ler) had so ungraciously refused him. The gentleman from Virginia had been away in camp for some time, and now came back to lecture the house on its legislation, and ungraciously and discourteously refused to listen to any appeals whatever. Cries of " order.") The house had been informed by a member of the State of things in the State of Georgia. That member had said that there was danger of a eDllision between the States and the Confede rate Government. He would tell the house that a similar state of things existed elsewhere. There had been facts re ported which showed it. Why should the house be re stricted to the edict, and be dictated to as to what course it should pursue by a party of Consolidationists in the other legislative branch of the Government? Mr. Foote said that he spoke of some who were then outside the hall, and not in the other branch of the Government. It was well known that some time since he hall emphatically declared, in unequivocal language, that there was danger existing, and now they had it from the lips of a high-toned gentleman from Georgia, making magnanimous disclosures in relation to the condition of the country, and appealing to them not to involve this country in a civil war. By the bill of the house the country would have been quieted, and an abundance of soldiers procured for the war. Let all the Con solidation men of this day, and all the Federalists of the old Government cry out, let those who had always been enemies of State rights, and those who voted against paying back the fine of Gen. Jackson, all Consolidationists and Federal ists, utter their sentiments in a voice of thunder--let them come on. He was done ; he had had his say ; he had ex pressed his opinion, and he called the question. (Laughter.) The house refused to reconsider—yeas, 24; nays, 53. Mr. Boteler said he was much obliged to the gentleman from Tennessee for the reply made to his call for the ques tion. He had stated in his remarks that in the exercise of his right, and impelled by a sense of duty, he had done what he thought proper. There was no one in the house who felt the remarks of the gentleman less than be did, and the best reply he could make to them was to recal the action of the gentleman on this very bill. The gentleman had seized every opportunity to talk and speak on this very bill, upon this and every occasion, and he ought to be one of the last members to complain, lie was induced to pursue the course of action which he had done because he had been, as he said, among the camps, and had been appealed to again and again to say when the reinforcements were coming, and he could not give an answer, because he did not know when the eternal talk would end and action be taken. The gentleman from Tennessee, then, he,d no cause to lay. the charges against him which he cu. But of him he would say that if we were about to :lend an ambassador abroad he would certainly advocate the sending of the gentleman from Tennessee, for then it could be said of the Government ex pede Hereulein,' from the size of the foot (Foote) we recog nise a Hercules.' (Laughter.) On the 29th ult.— Mr. Semmes, of Louic . 4lana, submitted the following joint resolution : " Resolved,—By the Congress of the Confederate States that the proclamation of Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States of America, issued at the city of Washing ton in the year 1862, wherein he declares, ' that on the Ist day of January in the year of our Lord, 1863, all persons he, l .d as slaves within any State or designated parts of a State, whereof the people shall be in rebellion against the United States, shall be henceforth and for ever free, is levelled against the citizens of the Confederate States, and, as such, is a gross violation of the usages of civilised war fare, an outrage on the rights of private property, and an invitation to an atrocious servile war, and therefore should be held up to the execration of mankind, and counteracted by such severe retaliatory measures as in the judgment of the President may be best calculated to secure its with drawal or arrest its execution." Mr. Clark, of Missouri, moved that the resolution be re ferred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs. He was in favour of declaring every citizen of the Southern Confecle acy a soldier, authorised to put to death every wan caught on our soil in arms against the Government. Mr. Semmes, of Louisiana, said that the resolution had not bean drawn without reflection. The question of retaliation was exclusively an executive one, to be regulated by circum stances. But it was proper that the legislative department of the Government should express its approval of the re • taliation contemplated by the resolution. Mr. Henry, of Tennessee, said that the resolution did not go far enou g h. H e f avoured the passage o f a law providing that upon any att emp t being made to execute thetreo,c,l b a l n a t e a k: tion of Abrah am Lincoln we immediately ho flag," and proclaim a. war of exterminationa i g st ainst all in vaders of our soil. Mr. Phelan, of Mississippi, sa id that he ha d alwa ys been in favour of cond uc ti ng a year ago, the If that flag had b een ra ised at Maness the war under the " black flag." war would have been over now. Mr. Yancy, of Alabama, moved that the pending resolu tion, together with the resolutions s ubmitted by him some aa, &c., be referred to a select time since relative to retaliation, committee of three, and be made the special order for Wed nesday next. Mr. Burnett, of Ke ntucky, moved that all of said reso lutions be referred to the Committee on Judiciary. This Was agreed to. WIVES AND MOTHERS. --The Esp erance I Nanc yCHINESE publishes the follo wing particular s respecting the of procee di n gs of the Society of the Sainte-Enfance, in China, extracted from a letter written by a lady, a native of Nancy, at present residing at Hon g Kong :_c, All that you ha ve hear d about Chinese children is but too true. They are not, indeed, given to pigs here, but that is the case farther in the interior. At Hong Kong mothers Come to the asylum of Sainte-Enfance and offer their children for sale, as I my self saw only a day or two ago. I have just visited this asylum, kept by the nuns of St. Paul, whose principal esta blishment is 4 t Ch artres. While I was there the bell rang, a nun went to open it, and returned an instant after with a female infant only a few days old. The price paid was 200 sapeks, but the mother, a hideous ci eature, wanted more, or else to have the child's clothes returned, which were ac cordingly given to her. The nuns told me that there were women who carried on quite a trade in these poor babies. One had brought no less than 40 to the asylum, and she confessed that, before she had the opportunity of selling them, she had thrown above GOO into the sea. I must tell YOU that I stood godmother to the poor thing purchased in my presence. The great cause of all these horrors is th it the Chinese can repudiate their wives, and marry again every year. The divorced wives, according to the Chinese laws, have the right of life and death over their children, and if unable or unwilling to rear them, they get rid of them i n, an y wa y they choose,", 7HE LATE HYDE PARK MEETING. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SIIN. SlR,—The initiative taken by the committee of which I have the honour to be secretary, in calling the working men of London to meet in Hyde Pc.rk to express their sympathy with General Garib aid], and to protest against the French occupation of Rome, and not to insult, as Cardinal Wiseman has it, the religion of others, has led to consequences of the most serious character, not only upon the ques tion directly at issue, but also upon tha most sacred one of the rights of Englishmen to meet and speak freely. I have explained, in the name of this committee, how the first public meeting was entirely taken out of our hands, and why we thought prudent to decline calling another meeting. Several news papers have complained that sufficient publicity was not given to our decision. Now, I beg to protest against this strange mode of proceeding of a certain portion of the Press. At least 50 copies of the letter announcing the de cision of the committee were sent to the London press—but very few did insert it—they all had re produced the erroneous statement that I had an nounced a second meeting; they were bound in duty to the public to insert the contradictory letter; by not doing so they led their readers to believe that our committee would be in Hyde Park, and they led to further confusion and disorder. As Englishmen we thought we had a right to meet quietly in the people's park to further an ob ject dear to our hearts : that right being interfered with by a lawless mob, we thought it was our duty to abstain from giving them another opportunity of creating disorder, because of the name we had in scribed on our flag ; but after the proceedings of the second Sunday—after the unaccountable inaction, of the police—we feel that the Garibaldi question ' , must be left aside for the present, that we must call upon our countrymen to examine whether, under the pretence that there has been or might be disorder, Englishmen are to be debarred from the right of meeting. A Hyde Park meeting is the ultima ratio populi —it is the right to hold them we cannot surrender. We must test the question whether the parks are ours, whether we have a right to peaceably meet there as well as anywhere else, and to discuss every topic which we think deserves our attention, with out being interfered with by the police or mob force. The reasoning applied by Sir R. Mayne to this particular case may apply to any other meeting— why does he not close every hall in London because of the riotous proceedings in Ireland and at Birken head ? why not close every concert-room because of the riotous conduct of a few Irish sailors at Wool wich ? why not close every publichouse because of the Westminster row P The haste with which Sir R. Mayne tries to make the most of this, and the conduct of the mayors of the city of London and of Bradford, in refusing to convene public meetings when called upon to do so by their fellow-citizens, raises up a suspicion that our liberties are in jeopardy, and if we are warm sympathisers of the defenders of liberty in other parts of the world, we shall show that we also cant defend our right. If, as the Working Men's Garb.. baldian Committee, we feel bound to abstain from compromising a sacred name in a row with the " dear Irish children" of Cardinal Wiseman, or the satellites of Sir R. Mayne, we reserve our rights as Englishmen to take such counsels as our conscience shall dictate. I. SPARKHALL, Secretary of the Working Men's Garibaldian Committee. 335, Strand, Oct. 15. PHYSICAL CONDITION OF ZHE SUN. By what agency is the light and heat of the sun maintained? What is it that feeds that vast fur nace to which we owe vegetation, and in a great measure our very existence ? An agency affording it the necessary aliment there must be, otherwise it would soon b'a exhausted. This question has long engaged the attention both of astronomers and natural philosophers, and various theories have been proposed with a view to solve it. The most plausi ble explanation appears to be that there is an inces sant flow of cosmical matter and aeroliths towards the sun, which absorbs them, and is thereby enabled to continue its emission of light and heat. This view, first propounded by Mr. Waterston, has since• been modified by Mr. Thompson, who supposes that the cosmical matter destined to feed the sun has to make its way through a resisting medium, the density of which constantly increases as its strata approach the sun. Thus the friction arising from the rapid mo tion of each particle through this medium will ren der the particle itself incandescent, and the heat thus generated will contribute its quota to the tem perature of the solar sphere. In a recent paper addressed to the Academy of Sciences, M. Faye strongly opposes these theories, first, because sup posing a resisting medium to exist, this medium mast move with the sun, in which case it may be be proved that a body circulating within this me dium will not fall into the sun ; and then, because nothing has been done to try the possibility of such an hypothesis by tangible experiment or observa tion ; while, on the other hand, what has been ob served proves rather the eontrary—for how, our author asks, could motionless clouds be seen during total eclipses in any atmosphere supposed to be tra versed in every direction by cosmical particles with such velocity as to go round the sun in less than three hours P This latter argument, it must be ad mitted, is a telling one ; but M. Faye stops here, and does not venture to hazard an opinion of hii own upon the matter.—Graignant's il essenger. BANK OF ENGLAND.

Which offers to take passengers to Melbourne for one shilling, was about starting, when the Citizen shifted her berth over to the Moorabool wharf, and exhibited a placard, intimating that she would take passengers, lug gage also, for one shilling. This was met by the Miskin altering her announcement, and reducing the fare to six pence —the Citizen immediately followed suit by offering a passage free. The Miskin, not to be beaten, announced that she would give a free passage and a nobbler to boot, The captain of the Citizen then left the wharf shouting that he would give a dinner and passage to all who would go with him," The Paris Tribunal of Commerce has pronour cad a judgment of some importance against the Bank of France. M. Jeannin, a bill clerk of the Comptoir d'Escompte, re ceived in the course of hi• rounds a number of hank notes, among which, as it turned out, was one bearing neither number nor signature. The English usage of taking the number of notes passing through commercial hands does not Frevail in France, and M. Jeannin was therefore unable to say where he took the imperfect note. His eLnployers re fused to receive it, and left him responsible for the loss. The note was a genuine proof of a Bank of France I,ooof. issue, but had never been perfected by a number and sig nature, and could only have been put in circulation by a fraud.
