MONEY MARKET. ~- CITY NEWS-YESTERDAY. The number of applicants to-day at the counting house of Messrs. Robinson and Fleming to inspect the samples of prepared jute, under the patent of Messrs. Thomson and Co., of Dundee, was very great. Those among them who are woollen spin ners are stated generally to have expressed a de cided opinion as to the value and adaptability of the material for mixing with woollen manufac tures. The cotton spinners also seemed disposed to consider that it will answer very well for mixing with cotton in the manufacture of clothes, although not for use alone as an entire substitute for cotton. It is said that one cotton spinner has already for some time past used ordinary jute in conjunction with cotton in the manufacture , of coat se cloths, and there is apparently no doubt whatever that the new preparation will be far more suitable for the purpose. It is stated that the quantity of jute now afloat to London is 4,342 tons against 5,157 at the cor responding period of last year, and to Liverpool 3,250 tons against 2,456, so that the aggregate is almost exactly the same as at that period. In the colonial produce markets this week there has been no further change, with the exception of the extraordinary advance paid upon various fibres likely to be used as substitutes for cotton. The rise on jute since the 3(I instant exceeds 50 per cent. Sugar is in moderate demand, at last week's prices. Operations of some extent occurred in saltpetre at the close of last week on Liverpool account, since when the market became rather quiet. To-day 395. 6d. to 40s. per cwt. was paid for arrivals. Cargo Bengal rice has found steady buyers, part of the recent purchases being for distillation in France. The tea market is firm, and owing to fresh arrivals the quantity sold by private contract has been larger than that last week. Common Congou rules from ls. Old. to ls. ld. ; blackish leaf Ning Chou, is. 4d. to ls. 7d. ; Oopack and Moning, ls. Bd. to 2s. 52: per lb. The supply of green has increased, but there is no change in prices to notice. At the pablic sales, which commenced yesterday, the Assam descriptions obtained the full valuations. Coffee fully maintains its former position, and the conti nental advices seem to indicate a favourable result of the Dutch sale on the 17th inst. Singapore sorts have been sold to a considerable extent here, at ex treme rates, by private contract. An instalment of 20 per cent. falls due on the 17th inst. on the Peruvian Loan for £5,500,000 Mock. £B,OOO in gold was bought by the Bank to-day. The steamer Glasgow from New York has brought about £57,000 in specie. _ _ The foreign exchanges this afternoon presented no alteration of importance. At Vienna yesterday an improvement of to I per cen t. took place in the Austrian funds. The monthly statement of the Bank of France, published to day, shows a falling off in the stock of specie of £540,000. At Paris and Berlin the rate of discount is 3 per cent.; at Vienna and St. Petersburg, 5 ; at Ham burg and Amsterdam, 31; at Frankfort and Brus sels, 21; and at Turin, 4i per cent. The Liverpool cotton market to-day was de cidedly firmer, and prices showed an upward ten dency. _ _ _ The demand for money was brisk, and little busi ness was done below 2 per cent. At the Bank of England the applications were to a fair extent, and it was noticed that some of the discount brokers have yesterday and to-day applied for the advance usual at this period of the quarter. The half yearly meeting of the Tewkesbury and Malvern Railway Company is called for the 30th inst., and will be made special, to authorise the company to borrow the sum sanctioned by their act of 1862. CITY NEWS---THIS DAY. CITY, TWELVE o'CLoCK. There is a fair demand for discount accommoda tion, and the rates remain without change. Since Monday last the imports of specie have been about £599,000, and the exports, £727,000. A dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. will be pay able on and after the 10th proximo to the proprie tors of the lonian Bank. The traffic receipts of the Melbourne and Hob- N son's Bay Railway, for the month ending the 17th 2s. inst., amounted to £5,005, against £5,367 in the s corresponding period of 1861. E Very little change has taken place in the Eng- F lish Stock Market, although the tendency has been 1 unfavourable.

Great Easterns and Great Westerns have receded ss. ; London and Brighton, 10s.; and North British, £l. Lanca shire and Yorkshire and South Easterns, however, have improved about ss. The Foreign and Colonial lines have been without material alteration.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF CLOTlL—Edward Johnson, of 48, Tiverton-street, Borough; Jas. Dickinson, of 28, Webb's County-terrace, New Kent-road; and John Hasham, of 95, Elm-street, Gray's -inn •road, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being concerned, with others not in custody, in stealing 400 yards of cloth, of the value of £lOO, the property of Mr. W. Fisher, of 13 and 14, King-street, Hol born, cloth worker. Mr. cuted, Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough - street, prose , and Mr. L. Lewis defended. _ Mr. L. Lewis having opened the case, called Mr. Albert Fisher, of 20, Kingsgate-street, Holborn, who said he assisted his father, who worked for Messrs. Landon and Holland, woollen merchants, of Bond-street. At the beginning of the month he had 28 pieces of cloth, the pro perty of Messrs. Landon and Holland, and sent it home in the cart by his brother, telling his brother, after ho had seen it packed, to deliver it. Had since ascertained from those gentlemen that only It 3 pieces had been delivered. The pieces stolen contained about 40 yards, and 400 yards of the value of XlOO, had not been delivered. Last Saturday he 'accompanied his brother and Haslam to the Elephant and Castle, and after waiting a short time he (witness) saw Johnson and Dickens, who were fetched by his brother and Haslam, and he followed them. Heard Haslam ask the two other prisoners whether there was any chance of getting the cloth back, as there was a row about it, and they said " No." He heard his brother ask them for money, and after his brother came out of a public-hcuse he showed him £2, which he had re ceived from Johnson. His (witness's) father being absent he did not like to take any steps then. By Mr. J. Lewis I do not know where my brother is. I heard him say that he wished to go to sea. I have not heard from him. My brother confessed to me that the goods had been stolen, and said it was all through Haslam, or he should not have done it. I heard brother say he wanted money to get off to sea with. Sergeant Joy, 9 C, said he went in company with last witness to Haslam's house, 5 Elm-street, Gray's-inn-lane, and he said on seeing him (Joy), "I know what you have come for. I've had no rest since I was concerned with others in stealing cloths from Mr. Fisher, and if you will allow me to go with you I will point out the men concerned in it," and he accompanied him (Joy) to Johnson's house, and then to Dickinson's residence. Subsequently the whole of the prisoners were taken into custody, when Haslam said Johnson and Dickinson were the men who assisted in stealing the cloth and selling it, but they denied it. The prisoners were then remanded for a week, bail being refused. --.- WESTMINSTER. ANOTHER. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—Arin Billingham, a young woman of prepossessing appearance, 22 years of age, described as a servant, of 11, Northumberland-place, Com mercial-road East, Whitechapel, was placed at the bar, before Mr. Ingham, charged with attempting to commit suicide, by throwing herself into the Thames, at Chelsea. Richard Shaw, a waterman, Lawrence-court, Lawrence street, Chelsea, said that at about eight o'clock last night he was standing on the raft at Mr.Coates', the boat builder, Cheyne-row, Chelsea, waiting for a boat to come in that had been let out, when he saw the prisoner come down the steps. He asked her what she wanted, and as she made him no answer, he thought she was a bargeman's wife going off to a barge, and took no more notice of her. On tur_ —*round again presently, however, he saw her up to her waist ._ the water, and ran up the steps for assistance. When he came down again she was out of the water, but as he made towards her she jumped in, and was floating down the river, but he caught hold of her clothes and dragged her ashore. He asked her what she had done it for, but she made him no reply, and he fetched a constable who took her into custody. Police-constable 319 V said that he was called to take the prisoner into custody. She gave no account of herself, but at the station said she was very low-spirited, and was very sorry for what she had done. Mr. Ingham asked prisoner what she had to say in answer to the charge. Prisoner said she had nothing to say. Mr. Ingham remanded her for a week, and directed her friends, who were present, to attend on that day. SOUTHWARK. A YORKSHIREMIN VICTIMISED. — A young man, who gave the name of John White , who is well-known to the policeunderh from wate the alias h lia t so e erfpßasroknerO was charged w ith s t ea li n g a silver f Mr. Joseph Strickland, a manufacturer in business at Farsbury, near Leeds, in Yorkshire. It appeared that the prosecutor had come to London for the purpose of seeing the Foresters' fete at the Crystal Palace, last Monday, and on his return was proceeding from the station at London -bridge up the Borough, accom panied by a friend, with the intention of taking an omnibus to Kingsland, where he was lodging. When he came to the corner of Union-street, he and his friend stopped in order to allow a pro cession of teetotallers' to pass, and while he was standing there he felt some person press against his side, and he perceived the prisoner running away. He im mediately missed his watch, which had been broken off the chain. His friend informed him that he had seen the pri soner in the most deliberate manner place himself against him, and snatch his watch out of his waistcoat pocket, and then be caught hold of the prisoner. A struggle ensued, but he succeeded in detaining him until a police constable came up, to whom he gave him into custody, notwithstand ing that some of the prisoner's companions attempted to rescue him. The watch was not found, as the prisoner in all probability passed it to one of his associates, who are well known thieves in the neighbourhood. Some amusement was caused by the energetic manner in which the prosecutor gave his testimony, and his evident mortification, as a Yorkshireman, at being robbed, even by a London thief. The prisoner, who denied the charge, was committed for MYSTERIOUS DEATH IN HOLBORN. Yesterday Dr. Lankester, the Central Middlesex coroner, opened an inquest at the Queen's Arms, Red Lion-passage, Holborn, upon the body of Eliza Chandler, aged thirty years, the wife of an assis tant at Prosser's oyster shop, in Holborn, and re siding at 13, Red Lion-street. It appeared from the report of the police and from the evidence adduced that the deceased was discovered last Tuesday night by a Mrs. Perkins lying in the passage of No. 12, Hand-court, Red Lion-street, apparently drunk and incapable. With the assistance of some lodgers in the house, who were friends of the deceased, Mrs. Perkins conveyed her to a room where she was laid on a sofa, and, being supposed to be drunk, she was suffered to re main there unnoticed until the following morning, whoa, on an attempt being made to arouse her, she was found quite dead. Mr. Shean, a tailor, living at 12, Hand-court, deposed that on his return home on the night in question he found Mrs. Perkins attempting to get a mt h p e p Hs rs e eee a du i •eri her d y. e Cr t o Hho b ne nes his Is n er srr i e e st r augi t rdu h nem e dsheto i ioo n r omen fl nai u ene w e egt n dha influence et ao nightsf hisli q u w o f r ri . fo em. deceased up s t a i rs , an d h e ass i s ted her.

He found her lying dead in Hand-court, and at oncesent for Dr. Valpy. Mr. of G Valpy, surgeon, ray's-inn-lane, deposed that he attended upon the deceasedr_at and found that she had been seriously injured head. He performed a posi medortent the ex backrn. of the the body, and discovered a severe fractureina examination nthe f skull over the back of the head and great bruises and depression on the bone. Internally it was as certained that the occipital bone was fractured nearly under the seat of the bruises extending from I the upper part of the back of the head to the base of the skull, with considerable effusion of blood. He examined the brain, and found clots correspond ing with the depressed surface of the bone, and con siderable effusion. All the other organs of the body were quite healthy. The cause of death was from fracture of the skull. By the Coroner—He could not conceive that _ _ was caused but by a very severe blow. It was not, in his opinion, such a fracture as might be produced from falling downstairs. The Coroner thought it unnecessary to examine further witnesses at present, as the case assumed too serious a nature to be at once disposed of. Inspector Pierce, of the E division of police, pro duced a large stone which he said was kept to fasten back a door at the foot of the stairs where deceased was found insensible, an know if the deceased fell againstback d in a state of drunkenness , whether such injuries h e tdheasitre stone ton to e would not be likely to be produced. Mr. Valpy was quite sure no fall would produce such injuries. The Coroner adjourned the inquiry, to enable the police to make an investigation of the affair. FATAL MINE ACCIDENT.--On Thursday an acci dent resulting in the death of two men—Thos. Reynolds and Elisha Hampten—occurred . at the Great Tywarnhayle West Cornwall. At about half-past 9, on with oils aolouthdesnrZe deceased got into a "gig" for the purpose of being. lowered to a spot where some damage hqd been occasioned on Wednesday from a trivial accident, with a view to examine and repair it.

This is the latest issue of Mr. Bentley's h arc crown series of standard novels, and is a simple, in teresting, and well told tale. It depicts the tempta tion and fall of a heroine in humble life who leaves the country for service in Edinburgh, where s h e i s seduced, abandoned, forced to take to the streets, but is rescued by the efforts of a former mistress, though only to die of a decline. The picture drawn of the condition of the lower classes of Edinbu rg h (but which is applicable to all our great cities) i s evidently drawn from observation, and is, we f ear, only too true. We give an extract from this picture of the work : " It was a very small room, but lit contained two beds besides an infant's cradle, and Mr. Duncan informed Mary that its inmates every night amounted to eleven. Five of them were at present within—a very old woman being one of them—but the rest, with the exception of the person who opened the door, were children. For this hole the family had to pay a high rent, which at that time they could ill afford, as the father was out of work. Their neighbours, too, both above and below, were of the worst description. " ' But,' as the poor woman said, how could they help themselves ? Working folks couldn't easily get houses to suit them, and they had just to take what they could get. The thing she most disliked about their present situation was, that her children were making ac quaintances in the wynd, which she could not prevent, and were learning bad ways. The air, too, was so foul that none of them were strong. The old mother, besides, was very bad with rheumatism, and they had little to cover her with, for they had been obliged to part with some of their blankets to the pawnshop to keep body and soul together lately.' "It was a painful account. Mary was glad to pull out her purse again, thankful that it was in her power to relieve immediate necessity. She then retired with tears in her eyes. " Ay, it is hard for such as them to live in this neigh. bourhood, Miss Elliot,' said the missionary, who observed the impression upon her feelings. ' But the worst of it is, that their bairns will never be so decent as themselves; they will sink lower. The sights here, besides the filth and the foul air, have a vitiating effect upon the mind. The woman knows this, and I have witnessed it again and again myself.' "'Can they net get houses elsewhere ?' asked Mary. "'More than they could afford to pay for. The working classes have little choice in Edinburgh, and the conse quences of living in such a locality are dreadful. That family now is still struggling on in a poor but a respectable way. They have not been above half a year here. But they will probably end as others have dons before them. They lose heart at length—for the bad air here has a most depressing effect upon the spirits—and then either father or mother, perhaps both, will take to drinking, after which the course down the bill is fearfully rapid. I know it by experience. Oh I Miss Elliot, I often feel my courage fail when I witness these things ; but it is God's work, and I dare not desert it.' " Britons Robbed, Tortured, and Murdered in Peru. From the Pen of Captain Malville White, M.E. Hardwicke, Piccadilly. A third edition of the little work in which Capt. Melville White details his wrongs and those of some of his fellow-countrymen in Peru is now pub lished, and it will no doubt have the effect of strongly directing attention to the state of affairs in that wretched country. The subject, however, oeiongs rather to the domain of politics than of lite rature, and it is, seemingly, now under the consi deration of Government. SPEECH OF 7HE KING OF POB7UGAL. The King opened the Cortes in person on the 4th inst., on which occasion he made the following speech : " Worthy Peers and Representatives of Portugal, —The day on which I find you assembled around the constitutional throne, strengthening the ties of affection and mutual confidence between the Crown and the nation, has always been one of sincere plea sure to me. On the present occasion my satisfac tion is so much the greater on this account that I consider as fortunate for myself, and as of favourable augury for the country, the motive which has in duced me to call you together in extraordinary ses sion in accordance with the requirements of the political code—the basis of public liberty, In solemnly announcing to you that I have chosen for my wife the Most Serene Princess Maria Pia of Savoy, daughter of his Majesty the King of Italy, I was certain that in your approbation of the con tract of marriage I should find a new confirmation of the flattering hopes which my future marriage promises to realise, by associating with my perso nal happiness the splendour of the throne and the wishes of the nation. The testimonies of devotion with which in the last ordinary session you received the news of my approaching marriage, and the af fectionate demonstrations by which the country has given me new and precious proofs of its loyalty and attachment, impose upon me the duty of thank ing you, and also the people of Portugal, for the interest taken in my personal happiness and in the prosperity of my dynasty. Worthy peers and deputies,—My ministers will lay before you the marriage contract recently signed at Turin : and I hope your vote will express, in conformity with the sentiments which for ages have marked the gene rous character of the nation, the spontaneous sym pathy with which it accepts an alliance which dates from the establishment of the monarchy. The ses sion is opened." 7IIE IRON 7RADE IN AMERICA. From the letter of an old and very intelligent correspondent we quote the following remarks, hav ing reference to the prospects of our iron trade in the United States :—" The Pacific Railway bill has passed, and it will be commenced next year, if not before ; this will consume 360,000 tons of rails and railway iron, the great bulk of which must come from England, and be shipped to the Pacific ports. Other gigantic public works are in contemplation also, which must have a very beneficial effect on the iron manufactures of Engiand, for it must be re membered the manufacturers of this country can only keep pace with the increase of population, and scarcely that. Wages are too high here for the manufacturers to enter into competition with Eng land, let them put whatever duties they may on im ports ; beside, the people will not stand p r ohibitf r tariffs in times of p eace h ere . Therefore, let Government at hom e k ee p qu i e t, and not interfere; if in any way w ith t h e a ff a i rs o f th e America ns they do it will b e a very su i c id a l policy to their I interests." The same corresp on d en t adds — The Kanawha A the manufac turers are in full operation. an d th© ° Ti t) : Irbasi b . 11) a y ; r Y t i i he pwr c 'i a ct r eh g e o iys . turers are making fortunes ; from 15 to 20 cents. per bus i r or l ic ( ern s . _ aer; manufacturers are are obtaining from 30 to Army contractors; and an g: money generally is very busy everywhere, remarkably cheap, con plentiful, Provisions a r e foreign produce—coffee, sidering the times; but,ear, just cent. per cent, very tea, sugar, &c.- 1 before the war.

B • of euag a visitor to the Cry stal, e that day, and the ra , ac unfavourable weather causing Bl o ndin s performances on the high rope to take place un der the central transept, Mr. James Itocrers volunteered to be carried over the rope at that elevation on the shoulders of Blondin. As soon as the expert equilibrist announced that he was ready, Mr. Rogers coolly placed himself in the position indicated, and, to the astonishment of the eleven thousand spectators who witnessed this un expected addition to the :Blondin programme, he passed steadily across the giddy height with as much coolness as if he had been on the firmer basis of the Strand boards. As they reached the other side, he joined with M. Blondin in a vocal accompaniment to the air then being played by the band, in a manner which showed his courage had never failed him for an instant. A great deal of applause greeted Mr. James Rogers on the completion of his singular ex ploit, and henceforth he may claim the peculiar distinction of having performed it at a higher elevation than any other actor ; whilst he has thoroughly established his right to be considered a comedian without an equal in a certain line.— Era. CRYSTAL PALACE.---ONE SHILLING DAY, Fri day, Sept. 12 —!admission on payment, g,931, ditto, by seas= tickets, 787 total, 0,721, STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, SEPT. 12.—We have had very little business to-day in either yarns or cloths, and exact quotations in these, as in cotton, are rather difficult to get hold of. The prices of cotton were reported here yesterday as 4d. per lb. under the extreme rates quoted a week to ten days ago, but to-day they are reported at a decline of not more than lid. So, in cloth, the quotations were reported 6d. per piece lower on Tuesday for sellers, but so far as we can learn there have been very few people willing to sell at more than a nominal decline. But in yarn and cloth, as in cotton, there is extremely little business doing. The sellers of yarn say they have found a consider ably improved feeling for all descriptions ; holders of yarn and speculators are very sanguine that we shall yet see much higher prices, and are holding on the faith of this improvement. The accounts from all parts of this district warrant the belief that many more mills will be closed than at present as soon as the present stocks of cotton are worked up, and the extremely small sales of cotton at Liver pool this week confirm this belief. The total sales to last night from the previous Thursday (inclusive were 12,700 bales, of which 5,300 only were to the trade,The consequen ce i s t h at the stocks of yarn are reported to be getti ng w i th i n a very small com pass,al and a pretty general opini on preva il s t h at we h see a renewal' of speculati ve operat i ons next s week on a considerable scale. There is not much doing for consumption, and most of the yarn in the market is held on account of speculators. The tele grams from Calcutta are rather favourable, but at present prices we heat of but little dispositi on t o purchase for export. The general opinion exp resse d on the Exchange with regard to the proposed sub stitute for cotton is unfavourable. We speak of that offered in London. Persons who have seen the staple say that the appearance of it leads to a favourable impression, but that on trial it would prove too brittle for spinning by the machinery now in use, and that on this ground alone, however suitable it might be in other respects, it must fail of general acceptance. Cloths are regaining firmness to-day. It is still relatively much cheaper than cotton, and the holders of stocks, who are mostly speculators, are consequently encouraged to keep Possession in the hope of higher prices. Some descriptions of cloths are said to be purchaseablo at 2d. to 4d. per. lb. under the current rate of yarns, and this is no doubt the reason of so many mills stopping. The general opinion among the sellers of cloth to-day is, that by holding they will yet be able to get some thing beyond the extreme rates recently obtained. This is the general opinion, and although, as above stated, there have been no sales worth mentioning, cloths of all kinds are held with much tenacity. The regular merchants are still almost entirely shut out of the market by speculators, and hence, though we have telegrams from Calcutta to the 26th ult. of a favourable character, they have led to no busi ness for export. It is believed that a good deal of business could have been done at the rates of yester day, but prices are firm, and close with an upward tendency. THE RAIL WAY, An average day's work of the railways of the United Kingdom in 1861 was, to carry 500,000 pas sengers, 258,000 tons of minerals and merchandise, 35,000 live stock, 1,100 dogs, and 740 horses. The precise number of the travellers of the year can not be stated, because there is no record of the journeys of season ticket-holders ; but it must have been more than six times the number of the population of the United Kingdom. The trains, passenger and goods trains added together, tra velled 2,897,748 miles more than in 1861 than in 1860, which is equivalent to going round the world 116 times more last year than in the year before. 3,881,990 trains ran in the course of the year ; that is to say, upwards of 10,600 a day, or more in a day than seven times the number of minutes in the day. If the trains had been equally distributed, running night and day without ceasing, they would have travelled among them 200 miles in every minute. The length of the line open increased by 436 miles, and became 10,869 miles ; and the gross receipts of the year £28,565,355, considerably exceeded the interest cf the national debt, and amounted to about 8 per cent, on the capital. The total raised by shares and loans increased from £348,130,127, at the end of 1860, to £362,327,338, an increase of more than £14,000,000 in the year. The working expendi- Lure rose to above 48 per cent., and net receipts only increased by about £130,000, or less than one per cent. on the increase of capital. The net receipts were rather over 4 per cent, on capital. 284 persons were killed upon railways in the course of the year, and 883 injured; but the accidents to passenger trains in which passengers were killed or injured were but 43 in number, causing the death of 46 passengers and injury to 781 more—one passenger killed or in jured in about 220,000. In addition to this 14 ac cidents were reported to the Board of Trade in which no passenger was injured, and 20 passengers were killed through getting into or out of trains in motion, and 13 more through their own misconduct or want of caution. The number of passengers killed or injured, not through such rashness, but from causes beyond their own control, was—in 1858, 445 ; in 1859, 384 ; in 1860, 509 ; in 1861, 827. In the latter year the sum of £135,062 was paid as compensation for personal injury. 128 servants of the companies, or of contractors , w ere ki lled in the year, 57 trespassers, and 17 persons cro ss i ng at level crossings. CANADIAN PARTRIDGES. 'ive nT T a ylor's o r A ' i s r. A correspondent of a contemporary writes as follows :—I am somewhat amused at the statement Romsey, about the sup posed effect produced on two of his patients and a cat eati ng Canadian by eat' p artridges. According to Taylor,account Mr. nearly resulting in death in the case of of it was something akin to cmc , of the patients. To make the case the more l aw/ fling, Mr. Taylor assures us that " the birds were perfectly fresh, having been packed in ice." Now, as I have lived over 40 years in Canada, — paralysis, that is, ever since I was born,—l must be permitted to express some surprise at this assumption against my country-bird the partridge, and I have slain and eaten many hundreds, if not thousands, of them in my time. During the last two winters they were unusually abundant and fine in Lower Canada, and I seldom dined without a slice of this delicious bird, but never experienced anything but agreeable effects from it. _ _ Mr. Taylor says, " It is reported to be known in o the et i g m r e o s u n p d o t s h o e n y o u a s r e ; t C h a a n t a w da he t n ha t t he th s e n s e e w b i ir s d l s on ar g e somi driven by hunger to feed on the b • ernes of some shrub which makes th • eir flesh unsafe for human food." The doctor • might, from his own experience, have added, "also for feline food." But it seems strange that the birds poisonous effects of the berries and still retain so much of the virus in their flesh as to poison women and cats. To have sustained his assumption, Mr. Taylor should have had a careful chymical analysis made of the remainder of the " case of partridges," or, at least, of the bits which he doubtless caused to be " emetted," if he will allow me to coin a word, from the stomachs of his patients. He should also have ascertained what else his patients and the cat had dined on. ------ The importance of makitig these investigations may be judged of from what occurred to myself on Saturday last. Having lunched on a score of oysters, I dined about three hours later at the Exhibition, and was shortly after taken vio lently ill. On returning home I stated my case to my medical adviser, who asked me what 1 had eaten. I said " Oysters for lunch," think ing of what I had often heard of English oyster!, that they were more or less poisonous, from their being supposed to feed on deposits of copper " at l bottom of the sea. The Doctor asked, Ute tin" sil what did you dine on ?'' I replied, boiled beef, which they give you at the beef." for that honoured English dish, „ ea: y a capital " Nothing else ?" says the Doctor. , 0 the ' so-called birC: el° V l salad, which alone served to T i a „ k p on some very corned beef tolerable, and wbienrtiohne ? u t n of stout." "Then . " fair doublo Glocester and.aocou to acquit the oys says the Doctor, " I advis s lsir. Taylor may find it ters this time." iu his heart to acquit is Fe • rha ife Canadian „ a little further. investigates t he c 4— 1061 981 I
