MO N EYMARKET. CITY NEWS, YESTERDAY. The Liverpool cotton market is still advancing. The sales to-day have increased to 14,000 bales. The rise in Lombardo Venetian Railway shares has been promoted by purchases to cover previous speculative sales. Operators for the fall are not unmindful of the approaching issue of new shares, designed for the prosecution of the Southern Italian extension lately conceded to this company. The present quotation for the old shares of course in cludes the right to the new creation. Captain Wilson, who re-captured the Emilie St. Pierre from the hands of a Federal prize crew, paid a visit to-day to the Jerusalem Coffee-house, and was publicly introduced to the members by one of the subscribers. The greeting given to him was of a very hearty kind. The Burman has arrived from China with 386,9001b5. of tea, and the Amatone with 385,4001b5. An instalment of 15 per cunt. fell due today on !he Egyptian Loan for £2,195,200 stock. The total of stock paid up in full up to-day is £1,223,700, A further withdrawal from the Bank of 300,000 sovereigns for Turkey, on account of the new loan, took place to-day, while about 30,000 were sent in from Ireland. An additional amount of Russian half imperials was also taken from the Bank and paid for in bar gold ; thus completing the exchange of £600,000 recently arranged by Messrs. Roths child, the agents for the last Russian loan. There was a very full demand for discount at the Bank to-day and also in the open market, partly attril;utable, it is believed, to a desire to provide against a possible advance of the Bank rate to 31 per cent. on Thursday. The last price from Paris this evening was 68f. 95c., showing renewed decline of an eighth. In the foreign exchanges this afternoon the rates generally were a shade higher than those of last post. An instalment of 15 per cent. on the Egyptian loan was met to-day, making the total paid (irre spective of payments in full under discount) 45 per cent. out of the contract price of 821. The amount of stock paid up in full is now £1,223,700 out of £2,195,200. The mail steamer Mooltan will take on the 12th inst. only £lO,OOO in silver and £1,500 in gold for Bombay, and £5OO in gold for Aden. In the exchanges the principal feature this afternoon was again a movement in favour of Austria. On Friday bills on Vienna were quoted I. 13,10 to 13.20, and to-day 13 to 13.06. CITY NEWS---THIS DAY. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. There is still a very moderate demand for dis count accommodation, but the rates continue steady with rather an upward tendency, owing to the large importation of gold coin, and the prospect. should the movement continue, of an early advance in the minimum of the Bank of England. On the Great Western Railway of Canada the traffic receipts for the week ending the 30th ult., amounted to £8,606 against £6.953 last year. Gold is now about one-tenth per cent. dearer in London than in Paris and Hamburg. Two O'CLOCK. There is a decrease of about £4,000 in the traffic returns of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway for the past week. Increased firmness is now reported in the general • I:)iscount Market, and very few bills are negotiated - under the minimum of the Bank of England. At the half-yearly meeting of the African Steam Ship Company, a dividend of 7s. per share, free of income tax, for the half-year ending 30th April last, being at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum on the company's capital, was agreed to. Towards the close of business yesterday after : noon the market for English securities appeared rather depressed, and a further slight decline en sued. This adverse movement resulted from sales on speculative account, and the intimation that further large supplies of gold coin had been taken from the Bank of England, and increased depres sion has been perceptible to-day, because it is thought that the minimum rate of discount will be advanced to-morrow, at least I per cent. Consols have therefore receded to 911 1 for money, and 911 g for the 10th proximo. The New Threes and the Reduced are heavy at 911 1; Exchequer Bills par to ss, prem. ; Bank Stock has declined to 234, and India 5 per Cent. Loan remains at 1071 1. Foreign Securities are tolerably well supported bit the dealings continued very restricted. Turkish, • 6 per Cents., 1854, are 821 ; ditto 1858, ; ditto New Loan Scrip 214. prem. Mexican are flat at 311 1, and Italian at 711 728. Egyptian Scrip is firm at 11 prem. ; Moorish 5 per Cents. at 921 ; Russian at 97-1; ditto New Lout Scrip is heavy at 1 prem. Spanish Certificates are 98. The operations in the Railway Share Market have been limited, and chiefly connected with the arrangements in progress for the liquidation, prices in some instances showing a slight decline. Eastern Counties and Great Northern have declined 10s., and South Eastern, ss. ; Great Western, North Western, South Western, and Midland, however, have improved ss. The Foreign lines remain inactive, Great Lux embourg realise 14i t ; Bahia and San Francisco 17;; and San Paulo, 8! 81. In the Colonial lines prices have given way. Grand Trunk of Canada to 221 221 ; Eastern Ben gal, to 1051 1051 ; Bombay and Baroda, to 1001 and Cape Town and Dock, to 106. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares show no change of importance. Alliance of London and Liverpool realise 4 ; London and Westminster, 80 ; Union of London, 451 ; London Chartered of Australia, 261; and London and South African, 91 ; Crystal Palace Stock has improved to 34; and Peninsular and Oriental Steam declined to 711.

Dr. Spinks applied for letters of administration to goods of Mary Stockley, on the part of the executors of her father, next of kin. Mary Stockley was living in the year 1844, and in the following year, 1845, she disappeared in a very singular manner. She was seen by her brother walking one evening in that year with a strange man, but since that time down to - the present not the slightest clue as to whether she was alive or dead could be obtained. The Judge Ordinary—You apply on the part of her Father's executors. Dr. Spinks said that was so; and his present application was that she might be declared to have died intestate. Advertisements had been inserted in a variety of newspapers without the slightest effect. The Judge Ordinary 'granted the application, as if the person was living the probability was that she was married. He thought the learned counsel had a perfccf right to assumo that Mary Stockley was dead. SECONDARIES' COURT. (Beforo Mr. Potter and a Common Jury,) THE BANK OF DEPOSIT AGAIN.-DAV.ES V. THE NATIONAL ASSURANCE AND INVESTMENT ASSOCIATION. This was a writ of inquiry to assess the damages laid at £2,000, in consequence of defendants not having repaid certain moneys advanced by the plaintiff. Mr. Ogle said be understood it was the custom only to keep one jury in atten lance, and as this case was of some considerable importance and interest he would wish to ask whether any gentleman in the jury-box was a shareholder or creditor, or in any way interested in the company; if so, he would suggest that they should leave the box and at once retire, and let some other gentleman be sworn. The learned Secondary—lt is a very fair and proper in quiry to make. All the jury having declared that they had no interest in the company—(a laugh)—the case was called. POLICE-THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A. DETERMINED PROSECUTRIX.—J ulia Arundel, a well known thief, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being concerned in picking the pocket of Ellen Murray, a respeo • table-looking young woman, servant, at 8, Lonsdale-villas, Westbourne-grove. Mr. Louis Lewis, of Ely-place, appeared for the prisoner. The prosecutrix said while waiting at the corner of Bird street, Oxford-street, in consequence of a large crowd pass ing, a man put his hand into her pocket and took out her purse containing a sovereign and a half in gold and some silver. She caught hold of the man's other arm, and he then passed something to the prisoner, who was close to him. Ho then got from her and escaped, but she was determined not to let the prisoner go, and walked her off to the station, not seeing a constable. On the way to the station the pri soner tried to get away, but she kept held of her. Sergeant Cole, 23 C, gave the prisoner a very bad charac ter, and said she had been charged over and over again with felony, and she had lived with a man who had been transported. The prisoner was remanded for a week. WESTMINSTER. ROBBERY AT THE EXHIBITION.—DanieI Collins was charged with picking a lady's .pocket at the Exhibition, and Henry Thomas with receiving the property. Joseph Gough, 468 X, said that he was on duty last evening outside the Exhibition in plain clothes. Observ ing the two .priscineis loitering about, he watched them. It was about seven o'clock, - when a great many people were, tried several ladies' pockets. H e lift ed up their dresses, and leaving the .building, and Collins, moving in the felt their vo'cliets: then went to the door of an omnibus as persons were getting into it, lift up a lady's dress, and take a purse from her pocket. Mr. Arnold asked where the other prisoner was at this time ? Witness replied that he had been in company with Col-- Ens all the time, and after Collins had taken the purse from the lady's pocket he handed it to Thomas. The latter then emptied the contents of the purse into his pocket, and threw the purse over a fence. Mr. Arnold observed that Thomas should have been charged with stealing the purse as well as Collins, as they were both acting in concert. Witness said that while the ladies were getting into the omnibus Thomas was busily engaged trying to pick pocket's. Mr. Arnold asked whether they had ascertained the amount the prisoner stole ? _ Witness replied he had not, as in the confusion the lady got into the omnibus and was driven away. Prisoners were remanded. Inspector Holden said there was another charge against Thomas. THAMES, A MARINE SWINDLER.—THE WILDGOOSE CHASE.— ' James Shaw, aged 30, a seaman, with a large beard and moustache, was brought up on remand, before Mr. Wool- ' r3ch, and for final examination and committal, charged with obtaining money, goods, and board and lodging, under false pretences. On the afternoon of Saturday, the 31st of May, the pri soner entered the shop of Messrs. Moate and M'Kinnon, tailors and outfitters, No. 144, Ratcliff-highway, in com pany with a man named Johnson, and represented that he had just come home in the ship Wilmington, from Mel bourne, and had wages to the amount of £45 to receive. He then selected some clothes, and borrowed 10s. in cash, to br repaid when he received his wages at the Shipping office. He also produced a note from a ship broker relating to the Wilmington, and said he had been eight months on board, that ho was mate, and that his wages were £8 per month. As the man Johnson who in troduced the prisoner was known to the firm, and the pri soner had all the appearance of a mate, his story was cre dited, and on the following Monday and Tuesday he had more cash of Mr. Moate. On the last-named day he said he was going to the City to receive his wages, and on being asked why the crew of the Wilmington were not to be paid off in a shipping office before a shipping master, he said the Wilmington was an American ship. Mr. Isaac Friday, shopman to Messrs. Moate and M'Kinnon, was directed to accompany the prisoner to the city, and did s 3. The prisoner called at the office of Mr. Chapman, the shipowner, and saw Mr. Chapman, jun., to whom he stated that an order for £45 had been sent home from Melbourne to Mr. Chapman, and he had called to recover the money. Mr. Chapman, jun., said he knew nothing at all about it. The prisoner waited some time in the office until Mr. Chapman, sen., arrived, to whom he told the same tale, and was informed that no such order had arrived, and that his name was quite unknown. The prisoner then left the dice with Moate and M‘Kinnon's shopman, and led him from place to place in the city, under pretence of obtaining £45 on the authority of an order sent from Melbourne. Ho frequently endeavoured to give Mr. Fri day the slip but in vain, and after what was described as a wild goose chase, ha was given into custody. There was no such ship as the Wilmington in the port of London. The prisoner—l said the Wilton. Mr. Moate—The prisoner said the Wilmington, lying in the 'West India dc ck. Inquiries have been made in every dock on both sides of the river, and there was no such ship to be found. He obtained l9s. 6d, in money, and clothes to the amount of 14s. 6d. of me. George Cole, a poor man, here said—The prisoner en gaged me to go down to the ship Wilmington in the West India dock to bring his things up. He took me to Mr. Chapman's office, and kept me dodging about all day, and there was no such ship as the Wiliaington to be seen. Further evidence was given, from which it appeared that he had obtained board, lodging, and money of a boarding house keeper, and £5 worth of clothes from a slop seller on the faith of his representations that he belonged to the Wilmington and had £45 to receive. The clothes were recovered. _ _ _ _ The prisoner (impudently)—l will get another berth and leave my half•pay note behind to pay thorn all. Mr. Woolrych—No, no, that won't do, you aro cora mittcd for trial, FIRE AT MESSRS. PICKFORD'S, WOOD-STREET, CHElPSlDE.—Yesterday morning a fire broke out in the immense range of premises belonging to Messrs. Pick ford, the well-known carriers, situate in Wood-street, Cheapside. The flames when discovered were raging in the store-rooms connected with the stables, and the fire quickly extended to two lofts over, threatening at one time very serious consequences. The alarm having been promptly given, in a very few minutes Capt. Shaw attended with the land steam engine by Shand and Mason, and several ma nual power engines. A good supply of water having been procured, the engines were set to work, but the fire could not be extinguished until the store-room was burned out, the two lofts over and their contents consumed. The roof was also destroyed. The goods stores sustained not the least injury. CHURCH STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.—Soon after noon on Monday last, a thunderstorm passed ever the parish of Badingbarn, Suffolk. The electric fluid struck off a small part of the south-east corner of the steeple of the church, and pierced a small hole above the east belfry window, doing some slight damage to the roof. The gable end was likewise struck, scattering the slates into and around the vestry window. The rain had almost ceased, and the sun was shining at the time. THE EASTERN FISHERIES.—The boats which sailed from Great Yarmouth for the purpose of prosecuting the mackeral fishery have at present obtained only unsatis factory returns. One boat a day or two since delivered 1,400 fish, and hopes were entertained that the prospects of the fishery had taken a turn for the better, but these anti cipations were not realized. Prices havo ranged at Yar mouth between 40s. and 55e. per 100, Much the same re pert is made with regard to the operations of the Lowestoft boats.

TEE ALL ENGLAND ELEVEN AGAINST TEE UNITED ALL ENGLAND ELEVEN. At Lord's Ground yesterday the interest that was excited on the previous day was, perhaps, more manifested, there being nearly 6,000 spectators present. The game was re sumed at about 12 o'clock, the All England Eleven con tinuing their innings (three wickets being down) by sendo rug i n H. IL (Surrey) Stephenson to join Daft. From fiv obtained on the previous evening Daft made his figures up to 36, gained in his usual scientific manner; among thein were three fours, four threes, &c. H. H. Stephenson con tinued to bat most successfully, and Bennett was called on to bowl, so also Iddison; but still he made runs, and car ried out his bat with 70, gained by really good play against good bowling; 4imong his hits were a five, five fours, two threes, and eight twos. Anderson's score of 11 comprised a four, a three, and a two. In Jackson's 19 runs were a five, a four, and three threes. Atkinson, being called upon a second time t) bowl, was most successful in taking the last three wickets. The total of the innings was 203,being 77 majority. The United fielded well together. The wickets fell in the following manner::—One for 19, two for 22, three for 40, four for 97, five for 105, six for 133, seven for 148, eight for 165, nine for 177, ten for 203. A quarter of an hour having elapsed, the United Eleven entered upon their second innings, Mortlock and Bennett commencing the batting against Willsher and Hayward's bowling. Mortlock made a hit for four,and was then bowled by Will sher. Carpenter followed, and again ably illustrated the art of hitting ; Bennett scored 11, by a four, three twos, and singles. Iddison added 6, but being then disposed of by Willsher, Griffith took his place, and he and Carcenter kept raising the score so much as to cause a change of bowling, Jackson taking Willsber's end. As no imme diate result followed, Tarrant was called on to go at Hay ward's end, and he in his second ball succeeded in lowering Carpenter's stumps for a score of 39, in which were a five, two. fours, and two twos. Caffyn came next, but in the following over Griffith was disposed of by Jackson, after a fast :innings, of 2.5, compri sing a fiVe, two threes, and four twoes. Lockyer cams forward,--„blat Tarrant was successful in sending back Caffyn far a singje, and John Lilywhite (who_ took his place) for "0." lyistlen then appeared, and shortly after wards TAirrant again proved fortunate by_stoping Lockyer's career, , aftes,aAively innings, of 2 1, comprising - four fours and two twos. It being now 7 o'clock the stumps were drawn for the day, the state of the score being as under :or UNITED ELEVEN. First Innings. Second Innings. W.

THE ARMY. .. 2 .. 19 .. 9 ..203 The annual dinner of the Royal Artillery took place at Willis's Rooms on Monday last, his Roya Highness the Duke of Cambridge in the chair. Up wards of 100 gentlemen were present, among whom we noticed Sir G. Pollock, Sir W. Brereton, Gens. Brooke, Sir R. Dacres, Dupuis,lloh, Wingfield, G. Higgins, D. Grant, Arbuckle, Wylde, and Bloom field ; Cols. Teesdale, Bingham, S andham, Burnaby, Crofton, St. George, D'Aguilar, Wodehouse, Ask with, Anderson, Brougham, Gambier, and Thomas ; Capt. Forbes, &c. The Chairman, after proposing " the health of her Majesty the Queen and his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales," made a speech, in which he intimated his approval of the recent amalgamation of the Royal Artillery regi ments. Sir George Pollock, in returning thanks, pointed out the advantage that he had derived from having had command of an army in the field, and said that every artillery officer from his particular professional education ought to have sufficient knowledge of military affairs to take the command of a division of the army. Saveral speeches fol lowed, especial honour being done to Capt. Forbes, the secretary, whose health was drunk. His Royal _ _ Highness took his departure about half past 11 His Royal Highness the Prince Carignano and suite yesterday visited Woolwich Garrison, and were received by General Sir Richard Dacres and staff in full uniform. Soon after his Royal High ness rode up to the review ground and witnessed the field-day evolutions of the mounted batteries of the Royal Horse Artillery, and the field brigades supplied with the Armstrong guns. The proceed ings represented an attack and defence of a p o sition on the slope of the hill. The Prince expressed himself much delighted with the appearance and evolutions of the Artillery, and admired the pre cision and regularity with which they galloped past without breaking their front. During these pro• ceedings on Woolwich common Prince Philippe of Saxe -Coburg Gotha and suite were inspecting the Dockyard, over which they were accompanied by Sir Frederic Nicolson, the Commodore-Superinten dent. The Prince visited, with much apparent interest, Capt. Coles's cupola on board the Trusty, as well as the Caledonia, and other ships under construction in the yard, and left Woolwich in the Commodore's. it St a a b t y e , barge on e o of at the 2 o :c e l s o s c e k l s , The paddlewheel steam sloop Alecto, 5, Comman derarrivetdo s li q e u n a r d y ron on the West Coast of Africa, , the belonging in Plymouth Sound on Tuesday morning. at Ascension on May 7 the paddlewheel sta S m h She l left oop Prometheus, 5 Commander Norman B.

The swamps and innumerable channels the and u dbanks had, for the most part , disa pp eared ; and ra wa t er s were gathered in to lakes ' and rivers of sufficient d e pth to render the in tervenin g soil solid and dry. I n the time of Stephen and H enr y 11. the beauty of the regionio l as was ex tolled. There were pastures a nd cornfields r© not only asel lakes, and wood s with loft y trees. Therewer blossoming orchards, but no waste lands anywhere; and, as for the settlements in the reclaimed lands, each one had a church so beautiful that that part of our island became famous for them. If we, in our day, are proud of the Lincolnshire and Cambridgeshire and Norfolk shurches,— so large a nd noble, with their crocheted spires or flaely proportioned steeples—what must our forefathers have b ee n eight centuries ago ?

JEM MACE AND TOM KING. The following letter appears in the Sporting Life:— " Sir,—l am sorry to be obliged thus to trespass on your valuable space, but I cannot allow the venomous scandal croaked out by King to pass without making a remark on the subject. I pity the feebleness o f his brain, otherwise he might have gained his po int b y pursuing a different course. By his weak endeavours to darken my character, I find he has blackened his own fingers. lie says he does not wish for paper warfare; perhaps it does not suit him. I shall not again trouble you in this m atter ; but I wish to inform King and the public that I will give Brettle the £25 so King can reckon that he's " on ;" and I think, when all's over, he will wish he bad been " off."" The fact that lam old, as King says, is really a source of anxiety to me, and I must say that, among my propensities, running is predotui • nant ; but as King thinks these are much in his favour, I hope he will increase the stakes to 1560 or /1,000 a-side..

ANOTHrR ATVFUL TRAGEDY. TWO CHILDREN MURDERED BY THEIR FATHER AND SUICIDE OF THE 3IURDERER. The greatest possible amount of excitement pre vails in consequence of a tragedy having been dis covered to t4LITC been enacted atNo.lB9,Bio.ckfriats road, which clogely resembles the one witich recently took place in Ludgate-street, near St. Paul's, with the exception that instead of the two children hav ing been murdered by their mother,who afterwards attempted suicide, in this case two young girls, of the ages of four and seven years respectively, were poisoned by their father, who afterwards destroyed his own life by plunging a carving knife into vari ous parts of his body. Since Sunday last a person named James John Muckford, a widower. residing et No. 189, in the before-m.med road, had been missed from hie Lome, as well as two of his children. Nothing nun:nal was at first imagined, as some of the neighbours supposed that the family had gone out to spend the Whitsun holidays. Late last night, however, in formation was given to the police of the mysterious disappearanc e of the man and his children,and this morning Inspector Turpin and Acting Inspector Gardener, of the M division,proceeded to the house, when the following awful spectacle presented itself. Mr. Gardener, upon entering the room, found the man sitting in a chair in front of the window, his head reclining, his trousers down, and his hay covered with blood, which had flowed from several wounds in his abdomen, which he had evidently inflicted with a large carving knife. The two chil dren, named Emily and Catherine, were found lying in front of the fireplace, also quite dead. Mr. Gardener at once sent off for medical assistance,;and Dr. Henderson quickly attended ; and from the ex amination made of the contents of a cup, and a paper found on the table, he had not the least hesitation t cam h h e i w d r o e u n n d h s d on d h i s d p f e r r o son p . o i s m o n r: i a n n d sa th i e ti g m t a t n a f t ro t m he Superintendent Branford was early in attendance to look alter the house. THE GREAT BEDFORD LEVEL. Every sovereign seems to have been anxious about the Fens, a n d t o h ave encourage d a ttempts to make s st c we n t secure. I h po e aurt fl t rat: and partiality o d m rt ao p iw r n e aa h rg e de n s s i fs v oe e rp e at n rha d et e ew a v h o o u ! te them tmo o urna a o n u k t inte rests, was a century after the Martimas gale I have spoken of. The works, costly and extensive, were swept away within a year of their being finished; and many then advised that the whole thing should be given up as hopeless. In the reign of Henry VII., Bishop Moreton made a new cut, which is now a part of the river Nene : but the banks crumbled down. So did other banks in the time of Elizabeth, and of James I. In the next reign, the enterprise was begun which introduced a new period in the history of the Fens. The Earl of Bedford, in the reign of Charles 1., was grieved to see Thorney Abbey on its hillock, surrounded by shallow waters over the space of 18,000 acres. He induced some speculators to join him in an effort to reclaim the whole region. His particular aim was to retrieve his own lordship, of Thorney; but his part ners must have their inducements also, Ths demand was that they should have among them 95,000 acres of reclaimed land, in re turn for their expense and risk. They spent £lOO,OOO in three years, and accomplished a great number of works which crumbled down almost as soon as they were finished. During the civil \vats of the period, it was a common practice for either party to cut the dykes when they could hurt their enemies thereby ; and during the Commonwealth the whole tract lay as desolate as ever. At length, the son of that Earl of Bedford took up the project again, on the same terms that had been granted to his father. He and his partners succeeded so far as to obtain their 95,000 acres ; but they had spent more meantime than the land was worth. The most conspicuous sign of progress was, that an organisa tion was now formed for the preservation of the works. By a charter of Charles IL's granting, a corporation of conservators of the Bedford Level was appointed, and endowed with due powers—the king appropriating for himself 12,000 acres of the 95,000. For more than a century and a half there were small successes, and occasional great disasters, owing chiefly to the mistake of making a great number of small channel islands, where there was not slope enough for little streams to flow away, instead of a few large channels where the force of gathered waters would compensate for a scanty in cline. At last, within the memory of the existing generation, the true principles of effectual drainage were proposed and acted upon ; and the retrieval of the Fen country has been a matter of pride to the whole kingdom for 30 years.— Once a Week. A BOURBON JAIL. ; upon in sli another,c'k enyin sickening It was a room large enough to contain about 30 persons, but it was made to serve for the accommo dation of 70; and it was black and smoky, like a forge. The floor was of flags, with here and there one one missing. A large bench ran around t.htel:a in This was for prisoners to sleep on ; one place a heap of rotton straw_ miserable old mattress; another, the centre heap of rags. A dirty lam k p e hung one in each corner of of the ceiling, and four sinks, 'exhaling a revolting the room, uncovered, , for the refuse of ever - in anott. a odour, served as receptacies . . this y g e e rough a wicket in it, the prisoners e opening into i den was gat . . . of large d in and out one by one, bending their passe bodies, an d putting in, first the unchained foot thing. dark oak. The and next the other—a mode of proceeding which occupied so much time that it took nearly an hour for a ll of us to enter or pass out. Opposite this entrance was the door to a 1 t c ose , uncovered, and kept without care or decency, yet in which 10 prisoners actually lived. All round our walls were driven numberless nails, from which hung everything belon • ging to the criminal—plates, po ringers, saucepans, clothes—affording refuge to millions of bugs, which came down by night to suck our blood. In one corner of the room was a bed, far different from the rest, with a little eupboard beside it, within which were a few wine glasses and a large bottle of wine. Above the head of the bed hung some pictures of saints, before which a lamp was at night kept burning. This spot belonged to the ehamber-keeper—a prisoner notorious for his crimes, who was set in power and authority over his comrades. During the night the atmosphere of this room was so utterly abomi nable and stifling, that the new inmates instinc tively leaped out of bed and approached the win dows; but even this relief could not always be in dulged in where the prisoners were chained and couples.
