In consequence of an increased demand for bar silver for Bombay, the price has advanced to 61fd. per lb., at which rate the silver brought by the West India steamer has been sold. This shows a rise of id. on the rate realised for that by the last packet, although transactions have taken place in the interval at 61d. Mexican dollars are also firm, and, being scarce, limited amounts have been dis posed of at an advance. Messrs. Maxwell and Co., of have 122, Fto-leet day sus -street, contractors for advertisemen ts, pended payment, and placed their books in the hands of Messrs. Coleman and Co. They hope to submit a proposal at a meeting on Tuesday next. The Etna, from New York, has brought £lll,OOO in gold, and the Borussia and Scotia this week are likely to have further considerable sums. The goldships announced to have sailed from Melbourne are the Aloe (90 days out), with £80,896 ; the Roxburgh Castle (81 days out), with £254,448; the Moravian (70 days out), with £196,824 ; and the Wellesley (64 days out), with £256,516. About £66,000 in gold, principally sovereigns, for Venezuela, on account of the loan, was with drawn from the Bank to-day, while £26,000 was bought by that establishment. By the Australian mail we have a report of the twcnty-eighth half yearly meeting of the Com mercal Banking Company of Sydney. The net profit for the half-year ending June 30 last amounted to £27,465 10s. 4d., out of which the directors declared a dividend at the *ate of 15 per cent. per annum, added £2.000 to the reserve fund (which now amounts to £66,000), and carried for ward £1,465 10s. 4d. of undivided profits to the next account. A sixth dividend of 12 rupees per share is pay able at Calcutta on and after the 10th of Septem ber next on the shares of the North Western Bank of India, now in course of liquidation. CITY NEWS---THIS DAIL CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The disccunt market continues steady, and a large amount of business is still reported. The dividend coupons on the Imperial Russian Loan of 1859 will be paid on and after the Ist proximo.

Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, appeared for the prisoners. Waterson, 144 C, said that at half-past two o'clock this morning he saw the three prisoners at the corner of Regent street. He then heard Davy ask a gentleman the way to Duke •street, and they then all walked into Jermyn-street and Coventry-street, and to the H a ymarket,sometimes two together, and sometimes three. Opposite the Anglesea Tavern in the Haymarket a crowd was assembled, and he then saw Bishop put his hand into two gentlemen's pockets. One of the gentlemen said, "If we are from the country we are not going to be picked up by you." Bishop then spoke abut the Garibald'ans and the Pope. They then all made off, and on overtaking them after a sharp pur suit, the prisoner Tarrant, having put his hand into a gen tleman's pocket who cried " police," he caught them, when Davy gave him a violent blow in the eye. On searching Bishop at the station found a loaded pistol on him, the pistol having a cap on it, and also an opera glass, of which he could not give any account. By Mr. Lewis —I know that Bishop has been a sailor, but not since August last. Ido not know that he is a steward on board the Devonshire, in the East India Docks.

ROBBERY ON BOARD Suip.—Rdward Read, aged 17, an apprentice lately serving on board the brig Margaret, in the Regent's Canal Dock, Rateliff, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with stealing 18s. 5d., the moneys of John Burton, a seaman. On Friday last the prisoner was missed from the ship for an hour, and on the sailor, Burton, going into his berth, he missed ISs. sd. from his trousers pocket. The prisoner did not return to the ship, and he was captured last night in a concert room in Ratcliff-highway, when he admitted he had taken his shipmate's money and spent it. He received a very bad character. The prisoner pleaded guilty, and Mr Selfe deeming it ne cessary to make a severe example of him sentenced him to six months' imprisonment and hard labour. A DANGEROUS VAGA.BOND.—A Lascar, whose name it was impossible to get at without an Hindostani interpreter, was charged before Mr. Selfe with assaulting Mrs. Mary Ann Carter, of No. 50, Burnley-street, Stepney. The complainant said she was returning home last night when the prisoner seized her by the arm in the Commercial road and made a most hideous noise. She ran away frightened, and he ran after her. She called forlthe and the prisoner was arrested. Mr. Henry Smith said the prisoner solicited alms of him, and, on his refusal to give him any money, made use of the most disgusting language and then ran away. Police-constable Thimbleby, 119 K, said the prisoner was a great nuisance, and had been in custody before for using bad language to people who would not give him money, and he was a most dangerous vagabond. The pri soner had been in this condition 18 months or more. JOINT-STOP 0 Agra&UnitedService B )0 Alliance B.Ln.&L'pool 10 Australasia a Bank of Egypt Ba,k of London 50 British North Amer -isn 20 Ch.

On being asked his name, he uttered quickly Salum Salum, which he repeated with many grimaces, at least 100 times he endeavoured to make out that Mrs. Carter had never seen a black man before, and was scared when she saw him, but she declared she had seen many hundred black men in the course of her life. In answer to questions, he said, " Come from Bombay ; there was a God above; me no touch her ; been in the Caledonia." Mr. Selfe said the beat thing to be done with the prisoner would be to send him back to India. He remanded him for a week. 0 Do. new 'A) Do. do ................ JO National Bank .....

ATTEMPTED SUlClDE.—Elizabeth Hancock, a young woman, aged 19, who described herself as a servant, out of place, was charged with attempting self-destruction. Police constable 59 L said he was on duty last night, and about 10 o'clock he was called into the house No. 9, Stone place, Broadway, where he was informed that the prisoner had swallowed some poison. She was very sick, and on searching the room be found a phial containing some spirits of camphor, a portion of which the prisoner had taken, being under the impression that it was poison. He conveyed her immediately to Guy's Hospital, and was told there that there was no danger, the contents of the bottle not being poisonous. The prisoner, who was very much affected, and cried bitterly, said, in reply to the magistrate, that h•r mother-in-law and her brother ill-treated her, and she was driven to desperation by their conduct. She added that they were in the habit of knocking her about, and that her life was miserable. A sister of the prisoner said she was a servant in place at Battersea, and was aware that her sister was living with her family, but she could not speak as to their treatment of her. Police-constable 591, said prisoner had 3 mark on her person where she stated her brother had struck her wan a broomstick. The magistrate, having pointed out the awful nature of the crime which she had intended to commit, said that if she was ill-treated by her family she could obtain a sum mons against them, and she was then discharged.

The . wo Chambers of the Diet or Parliament met for the last time. The sitting of the Second Chamber lasted from 9 till noon, with one hour's interval of repose. The Upper Chamber only sat for half an hour. The closing of the session was announcel at 3 p.m. in a speech in the so-called White Hall of the Palace by M. Bismark Schonhausen. The sitting in the Chamber of Deputies was opened by M. de Grabow, who read a letter from the Upper Chamber notifying the resolution taken by that Assembly on the previous Saturday. The hon. President then said : " Gentlemen,—l deeply regret that it is my lot to be the medium to call upon this Chamber to express itself upon the second resolution of the Chamber of Lords (the adoption of the Budget of 1862 in accordance with the Government proposal). But the regulations of the House do not allow me to dispense with the consent of this Chamber to reject from the bar of this assembly a resolution which in my profound conviction I believe to be contrary to the Consti tution. (Loud cheers.) I therefore p7opose to you to re turn the letter which I have just read to you, as well as the propositions of Deputies MM. Simson and Gneist, which I have just received from the Committee on the Budget, and which will be the subject of a report. I wish also that the Committee will make known their report within one hour's time, and that the sitting be in the meantime suspended." I M. Simson proposed that it please the Chambe r of Deputies to declare as follows: " The resolutions taken by the Chamber of Lords on the 11th of October are contrary to the evident sense and to the letter of the constitution; they must consequently be re garded as null and of no essential value, and from those grounds are not of a nature to be taken into consideration by the Chamber of Deputies." M. Gneist proposed that it please the Chamber of Deputies to decide : " 1. That all the resolutions which have been_ taken by the Chamber of Lords are unconstitutional, consequently, essentially null and without value, and that the Govern ment cannot derive any rights from the said resolutions. " 2. That the Government remains under the obligations of settling the expenses of 18(12 conformably to the consti tution. " 3. That the Government has not the right to dispose of credits rejected by the resolution of this Chamber adopted on the 23d September, 1862, especially as regards the sup plementary expenses resulting from the army increase, and that by not so acting it would violate Articles 99 and 62 ci the Constitution." M. de Reichensperger and other members ad dressed the Chamber in a similar sense. A discus sion ensued, in reply to objections made by M. von Gottberg and his political friends, who declared they fully approved the resolutions of the Chamber of Lords. The Chamber received this declaration as it deserved, and the sitting was adjourned for an hour, At 11 o'clock the Assembly again met, when the reporter on the committee of the Budget, M. de Forckenbeck, proposed the adoption of the follow ing resolution " The resolution voted by the Chamber of Lords in its sitting of the 11th October, relative to the Budget of 1862, violates the sense and the letter of Art. 62 of the Constitu tion, in so much as not confining itself to adopt or reject the resolution of the Chamber of Deputies of the 3d October, which was alone submitted to it, after the rejection of that resolution, and adopted the Budget p:oject of the Govern ment which did not come under its powers at all ; that consequently that resolution is null and witheut value, and the Royal Government cannot derive any right there from." M. v. Bonin protested in the name of the Feu dalist party against the resolution, and with seven of his eo•religionists left the Chamber. President Grabow severely censured such con duct. The Chamber had decided by a large majority that the matter was to be discussed. The protest of a few members could not alter that decision. No discussion followed. On a call of names the proposition was unanimously adopted by the 237 deputies present. Just as the President was pro claiming the result of the vote, M.M. Bismark Schonhausen, Count of Lippe, and Count Itzenplitz entered the Chamber. After the announcement of the vote M. de Bismark, President of the Council of Ministers, read a Royal message, dated the 11th of October, authorising him to close the Session of the Diet at three o'clock. President Grabow, after a few words, thanking the Chamber for their indulgence, proposed "Three cheers for King William 1., who remains firm to the Constitution to which he has sworn ; and for the Constitution sworn to by Prussia, that invincible rampart of liberty," The Chamber responded with three rounds of cheers, and shouts of " Long live the King ! long live the Constitution !" M. de Grabow then declared that the 65th sitting was closed ; a sitting that will ever be memorable in the history of the Constitution of Prussia. During the speech of the President the Ministers had left for the Chamber of Lords, where they made known the vote of the Second Chamber. The Pr:,_ sident, Count de Holberg, said that, mule? e , 'tsting circumstances, he should simply take note of it. M. Bismark then read the 11°,7141 M' essage, and the sitting was closed with thrte o ). seers for the King. At 3 p.m. the 31embe ", of both Chambers met in the White Hall of Palace, when M. Bismark read the follow' Ang message closing the Diet : " Geutm„, Members of the two Chambers of the Diet —A 4,, the commencement of your deliberations the Govern- went of his Majesty explained to you the motives which obliged it to have only recourse to your co-eperation of the most urgent questions. Consequently, the propositions that have been sutmitted you have been chiefly confined to financial measures connected with the current year, to a series of conventions on various other projects of law, the adoption of which appe tred desirable in the interests of the material welfare of the country. " Among the propositions that have been laid before you that which relates to the treaty of commerce and naviga• tion with France is of considerable importance. In the unanimous approval which you have given to that treaty, as also to the law relative to the rights of importation and exportation, the Government of his Majesty beholds ths guarantee that the economical principles upon which that convention is founded will henceforth form the basis of the commercial policy of Prussia. That policy, which has its roots in the necessity of the development of free trade, is traced out to the Prussian State by her interests and tra ditions. A portion of her confederates have already equally v dmitted it as responding to the interests of the whole Zoliverein." " The conventions with Japan, China, Siam, the Porte, and Chili, which you have ratified, will likewise contribute to the security and development of our commerce abroad, while the redemption of the Stade dues and the suppression of the navigation rights on the Moselle are profitable to the relations with the interior and with foreign parts. " By the suppression of local postal dues most desirable facilities have been given to relations by writing.

Its origin can bit pretty clearly traced to Asia, though it is now said to be growing wild in many parts of the south of Europe ; and what are supposed to be indigenous species or varieties are found in America. It was probably first introduced into Europe by the Romans soon after the foundation of Rome. What may be termed a temperate climate is that best suited to its cultivation. The soil it delights most in is a celeare ous loom on a dry subsoil. The varieties of grape vines may be said to be endless. The French Go vernment upon one occasion made a collection of 1,480 varieties in a nursery at the Luxembourg, and this was supposed to be only a moiety of those in cultivation in France alone. It is, however, no part of my present object to refer further to the growth of the vine upon the Continent, and I shall therefore confine myself to that aspect of it which concerns our own country ; and though there is good evidence that the Romans introduced vine yards into Britain, and made considerable quantities of wine from them, I shall pass over the out-door culture of the plant, merely remarking that in these daysof cheap glass it is amost unsatisfactory invest- ment' of both time and skill to attempt its culture except under glass. The earliest record with which I am acquainted of the application of artificial heat to the cultivation of the vine is in " Lawrence's Fruit Calendar, 1718, where it is stated that at Belvoir Castle, the seat of the Duke of Rutland, fires were kept up from Lady-day to Michaelmas behind sloping walls, on the south fronts of which vines were trained. We next read of Speechly, an eminent horticulturist in his day, having erected a vinery, something like our present lean-to houses, at Walbeck, the sea,' L of the Duke of Portland, where he planted seve,hty varieties of the vine, and grew many of tb'em to great perfection, producing there perhaps 'the largest bunch of grapes that were ever gro'ain in Britain. This famous bunch was of the , variety known as the Syrian, and weighed 1911bs. I —The Grape Vine, by William Thomson. SHIPPING-THIS DAY. (BY MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH.) GRAVESEND. Thursday Morning.

There are many other false short cuts in life The most deceptive of all is an inherited good fortune or position in society. Don't suppose lam going to jest at these things ; they carry general influence, and are sup posed by many to introduce the possessor at once to legis lative and political power. They facilitate intercourse with the wit and wisdom of the country. Much of what others, little people, learn by books, these, fortunately born, acquire in the daily society of their lives. They mix with philoso phers, statesmen, and lions. But do the noblest beasts themselves thus grow to be famous ? Can you learn to roar merely from living in the Zoological Gardens ? Do you suppose a man gets to the head of affairs from being familiar with the celebrities of his day ? Have our greatest statesmen risen thus ? Did the men who have the greatest influence in Parliament and literature learn it all of philosophers in their boyhood ? Pooh ! Great men have been their own e masters. They have generally learnt much more from the toes than the heads of the society. Skill in interpreting the the complaints of the small, ears to hear, and o understand them, give political power more than the se wise sentences and maxims of the great. There is no short cut to be made to a statemanship by living in the society of the rulers alone.—Once a Week. .--Let me speak A WORD FOR THE CHILDRE:s' in the highest terms of the benefit conferred on children by a their letting them run about as they Wil l in r h o r u ogh wn aua free r wills, eady kind of garden, where they may wo rk dig, plant, sow, build, and play,) just asthe confine y like, without d to e being subject to the annoyance being gravel, and forbidden under sevo e pe nalties to place a foot on the beds.

The item of religion is not men tioned. From the latest Peruvian advices received from Panama, after the closing of the mail at Lima, appears that the Congress had not • decided whether they should accept the loan contracted by Mr. Sala, the Peruvian Minister Plenipotentiary in London. The whole subject was to be considered at a meeting of Ccugi ess to be held a few dap, after the departure of the mail just arrived, and the next packet is therefore expected to bring intelli gence of the result, It also appears that the Govern ment had meanwhile declined to take possession of the money already received at Lima on account of the loan, but had left it in abeyance in the hands of Messrs. Gibbs and Co., the firm through whose agency it was remitted, to await the final decision, the Government undertaking to be responsible for its safety. Considering the ample powers under which Mr. Sauz c ontracted the loan, it is consi dered, apart from other reasons, to be altogether unlikely that the Republic of Peru will repudiate his acts, but supposing that they should come to a conclusion so fatal to their future credit they must certainly be held liable to afford full indemuifica -1 tion to the subscribers. THE CONDEMNED CON VIC 2 CA7 HERIN E WILSON. As the` hour for the execution draws near, and now that anything which can be said of the ant?* cedents of this. miserable convict cannot be to her prejudice, it does not become out of place to give a brief outline of the course she has pursued from early childhood, and it will be seen that her career has been one of uninterrupted profligacy and crime. Her name is Catherine and not Constance, and she was born of poor but honest parents in 1817. Their name was Crane, and they lived at Surfleet, near the town of Spalding, in Lincolnshire. Her father was a carpenter, and in the latter part of his life was an inmate of one of the Bede-houses of the town. There was two other children, one of whom, an idiot, died a short time ago. The convict's parents have been dead about twelve years. The first thing which rendered her notorious was a robbery which she committed when. ouly fourteen rears of age, and the circumstances which attended the commission were of a very base character. She had gone to the house of a friend as a child visitor, and whilst there committed a theft. The servant was suspected, taken in charge, and convicted of the offence, the evidence against her being that of the girl Wilson, who, on being subsequently examined about the robbery, confessed that she had committed it, and fixed the crime upon the servant. She after this left her home, and went I to live at Surfleet, where she openly lived a looso life. She then went to Spalding, ,where she lived more quietly, but still as a gay woman. ShY next went to Boston, and there became acq ua i nted with a highly respectable master mariner trading from that port, and by her plausibility and h er apparent respectability she induced him to mart-5- her, and for some time they lived in comfort; but she returning to her old mode of living whilst her husband was at sea, he, upon his return discovering it, left her to live with another woman. About this time a son of hers before her marriage, aged 15, was drowned at sea. She then went into the service of an eccentric old seafaring gentleman named Mawer, who died under very suspicious circumstances, after a few hours' illness, it was said of cholera, leaving to the convict a good sum of money, and property of the annual value of £5O, She then made the acquaintance of the parties named in the cases re cently before the public. DAHOMIAN ATROCITIES.. The following information from Dahomey has been received at the Church Migsionary Rouse, from the commander of her MP.jesty's ship Griffin, at Little Popo, August 6, 1862 : " Sir,—l think it my duty to lay before you, with as little delay P.s possible, the following information concern ing Dakomey " On the sth of August, when'at anchor off Little Popo, I received a letter from the shore, stating that Mr. Euschart, a Dutch merchant, residing at Popo, had just returned from Dahomey, and that he had news of great in terest for my ear. This Mr. Euschart I have had frequent conversation with, and I have every reason to believe that his information is most accurate, trustworthy, and reliable. I therefore borrowed a surf boat from a Dutch brig in the roads, and, having manned her with 10 of my own Kroo men, I with great difficulty effected a landing, two boats out of three that tried the beach that day being capsized, owing to the very heavy surf. I give the substance of Mr.. Euschart's information as closely as possible, having jotted. it down in my notebook during our conversation. It appears that Mr. Euschart went to Whydah on busi ness in the middle of June, and on the 24th of June, while still at Whydah, received the stick of the King of Daho mey, with an instruction that his presence was required at Abomey. Mr. Euschart tried every method of evading the journey, but without avail, the Caboceers of Whydah tell- ing him plainly that he would be carried to Abomey as a prisoner if he did not at once willingly obey the King's message. " Accordingly at 1 p.m. of June 26, having provided him self with six hammock men, he left Whydah for Abomey, escorted by an armed party of Dahomians, and reached Alada, the old residence of the King of Dahomey, the sane evening ; ; June 27, 1 p.m., left Alada, and arrived at Ta brur at 10 p.m. ; June 28, 5 30 a.m., started for Karam+, through swamp, and easily passed; 9 30 a.m. started, and arrived outside Abomey at 7 30 p.m., the road on the way having been very good. He was at once shown into a very fair house, and told to remain there during the night. June 29, received a letter from the King that he was to be pre sented the next day. June 30, entered walled part of town through royal gate ; received there by two head Caboceers, who saluted him, saying, King had never seen a Dutch ,nan ; "King's father had never seen a Dutchman ; and now they had plenty of people to kill they were very glad to see a Dutchman.' He was then ordered to drink the King's health four times, after - which the Caboceers danced round him, singing and firing guns. He was then conducted to .the King's palac3, and received there by the Prime 'Minis , ter, who told him the King would receive him next day. " July I—Received by the King, who was seated outside the palace on a raised dais, surrounded by Amazons, H saluted the King in European style. The King at once got up and shook hands with him, said he was very glad to see a Dutchman, and continued talking in \ Portuguese for about 10 minutes. He was then ordered to return to his house and keep inside three days. " July s—He was brought to the markot-place,whero he was told many people had been killed the night before, lie first saw the body of Mr. Wm. Doherty (a Sierre Leone man), late a missionary and Church Catechist at Ishagga. The body was crucified against a large tree,one nail through the forehead, one through the heart, and one through each hand and foot ; the left arm was bent, and a large cotton umbrella in the grasp. He was then taken to the market, where the King was seated on a raised platform, from which he was talking to the people much ' war-palavery'and promising them an attack upon Abbeokuta in November. Cowries, cloth, and rum were then distributed. In front of marketplace rows of human beads, fresh and gory, were ranged, and the whole place was saturated with blood, the heads evidently belonging to some of the Ishagga prisoners who had been killed during the night, after having been tortured in the most frightful manner. " Until July 10th Mr. Euschart was ordered to remain quiet in his house, and not to move or look out after sun down. "July 10—The ground shook violently—evidently, from the date, the effect of the earthquake felt at Accra. Mr. Euschart was at once brought to the market-place, where he found the King again seated on the raised platform, surrounded by Amazons ; the King told him that the ground shaking was his father's spirit, complaining that ' Customs were not made proper.' Three Ishag ga chiefs were then brought before the King, and told they were to go and tell his father that ' Customs should be better than ever.' Each chief was then given a bottle of rum and a head of cowries, and then decapitated. Twenty four men were then brought out, bound in baskets, with their heads just showing out, and placed on the platform ill front of the King ; they were then thrown down to the people, who were dancing, singing, and yelling below ; as each man was thrown down, he was seized and decapidated, the heads being piled in one heap and the bodies in another ; every man who caught a victim and cut off the head received one head of cowries (about 25.) After all were killed Mr. Euschart was conducted home. " July 11.—Taken to another part of the town where exactly similar horrors were being perpetrated.. " July 12.—A1l the platforms were taken down, and the programme appeared to be firing guns, singing, .and dancing all day; there were no more public sacrifices 'for 10 days, but it is supposed many took place during the nights. "July 22.—Takento see the 'Grand Customs' atthe Palace of the late King, at the gate of which two platforms had been erected ; on ea c h p l atform 16 men and four horses were placed ; inside the house was placed another platform, on which were placed 16 women, four horses, and .one alligator. The men and women were all Sierra Leone peg rple captured at Ishagga, and were dressed in European cloth es,each group of 16 men seated or rather bound in chairs placed round a table on 'which glasses of rum vete plowed for each. The King then ascended the platform, where he adored the Dahomian fetish, and seemed to make obeisance to the prisoners, whose right arms were then loiosed to enable them to take up the glass to drink the King's health. After the King's health had been drunk, the effects of the late King were paraded and worshipped by the peopl as they passed; a grand review of the troops then com menced, and as each marched past the King harangued them, and promised the sack of Abbeokuta in November. Nearly the whole of the troops wore firearms ; a few select corps had rifles, but the greater part were armed with flint lock muskets. The artillery consisted of about 24 guns (12 -pounders). The number of troops altogether could scarcely be less than 50,000, including 10,000 Amazons, all apparently well disciplined troops. After the review was over the prisoners were beheaded, their heads being hacked off with blunt knives ; at the same time the horses and alli gator wore despatched, particular care being taken that their blood should mingle with that of the human prisoners. " When all was finished Mr. Euschart was permitted to leave Abomey, which, it is needless to say, he immediately did, having received the magnificent viatica of eight beads of cowries (165.), ono piece of country cloth, and two flasks of rum. " Mr. Euschart firmly believes that Abbeokuta will,with out doubt, be attacked by the whole Dahomian army to wards the end of November. ~ T. L. PERRY, Commander.
