AIOAVEI' MARICET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocK. The Bank of England return, completed to the I2th inst., is of a more satisfactory character, the late arrivals of Australian gold having caused a considerable addition to the stock of bullion ; the Reserve of Notes also shows a large increase, while there is a diminution in the Other Securities. The Public Deposits, owing to the active collection of the revenue, have been largely increased. The subjoined table shows the various items, and the changes they present : Active Circulation Decrease Bullion ..

The suspension has been announced .of Mr. James W. Shillito, wholesale grocer, with liabilities esti mated at about £30,000, but the asicts• will no doubt prove favourable. The Armenian, from the West Coast of. Africa, has brought £13,168 in gold and specie. A moderate amount of business was transacted in the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, but prices in most instances were rather lower. The, s ales were estimated at about 6,000 bales. During the last few days there has been rather less animation in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets. At public sale tea has receded about id. to ld. per lb., but sugars have fully maintained previous rates. Coffee sold readily at high prices, while cocoa, rice, fruit, and spices have slightly declined in value. Saltpetre has been in fair re quest at enhanced rates, while tallow has continued dull and rather cheaper for both present and for- ward delivery.

He was a boy of such promise that all who became acquainted with him had predicted for him 1 % career of no ordinary character, Young as he was, he impressed every one who came in contact with him as a youth W ho was destined to become a man of rank. His premature death has thrown into the deepest afliction a father who Could have rejoiced beyond measure to have presented to his sons, as well as to the whole world, the sublime spectacle of a Union restored under his Administration, and a mother 'whose greatest happiness was derived from promoting the Welfare of her children. Many stories illustrating this rare intelligence and goodness of heart are related of Willie, Whose presence always diffused sunshine in the household of the chief magistrate of the nation. The body of Willie Lincoln was embalmed to-day by Drs. Brown and Alex ander, assisted by. Dr. Wood, in the presence of the at- Drs. Stone and H a ll, S enator Brown tending physicians, ing, and Isaac Newton. The method of Sagnet, of Paris, Was use d, and the result was entirely satisfactory to the attendant friends of the family. Thaddeus, the youngest son of the IPresident, is still dangerously ill. Fears are entertained that his disease will assume the type which Proved fatal to his brother.—New York _Herald. About two months ago, we noticed the sudden d isappearance of Thomas Hayes, one of the 11th Lanca ahire Rifle Volunteers, who had gone down to the river s with . i a fowling piece to shoot wild birds , and bad not since been heard of. The tides being at that time high, it was fe ared l th a t h e h a d b een surr ounded, and had thus lost his f s• On Monday those fears were confirmed, his body being found in the sands near `Parton. The body was much de ,etc'e rapesed, and it is very likely that it has been buried in " 1 Band since the occurrence until now.--Freston Pilot. I.

Harmer, charged with working a private still, the two latter were iu attendance, but Morgan was not. Mr. Dwelly, solicitor t.) the Excise, said the house in which the still was discovered, No. 7, Trinity-lane, was not registered, and he called the officers to prove the deli very of the summons on Morgan at the place. The case of Morgan was then proceeded with. Joseph Knight, City Police force, said—On the 19th of January I met two men, Clark and Harmer, in Old Fish. street, City, drawing a truck, which contained a quantity of molasses. As they could give no satisfactory answer to the questions I put to them I took them both into custody, They were convicted and sentenced to three niiflnths' im prisonment for the illegal possession. From wliat they said I went to No.7,Trinity-lane, and there found a private still in a cellar. I also found 100 gallons of wash and about 1 gallon of spirits. The shop was fitted as a small confec • tioner's, and was attended to by Mrs. Harmer. The still and liquor were taken possession of, and given up to the storekeeper at Tower-hill. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCIIANGL.• Wm. Clark, who was brought up from Holloway Prison, said—l was stopped with a truck by the constable on the 18th of January last. I know the house 7, Little Trinity lane. I had taken it a month before Christmas-day. I know Morley, the defendant. I first became acquainted with him nine years ago. I let the house in Trinity-lane to him. Ho went by the name of Clark. Ho was to pay me a pound a week. He did not tell me what he wanted it for, but I afterwards found out that he had a still in the cellar. I saw it in the house after he had been nine days in in the the house. u house.se. He I paid.wa s me about £2 as rent. I saw Morley taken up for having a quan tity of molasses in my possession. Morgan asked me to tell his man to get it home; we were taking the stuff to 7, Trinity-lane. I've not hoard anything of Morgan since. I have been in prison. I don't know where he is. William Harmer—l was taken up with the last witness when he was taken into custody. I lived at No. 7, Trinity lane. Morgan asked me to come and reside there. After I went to lodge in the house the still was in one of the rooms upstairs. Morgan set the still up, and I assisted him. He learnt me how to work it. I was to have a pound a week and lodgings rent free as wages. The still was at work when I was taken into custody. I had charged it previously. Sarah Harmer, wife of the last witness, said—l remember theseizare of the still.- I was - taken into custody. Morgan first opened the shop as a tobacconist, then he turned it into a sweetstuffshop. Morgan has since absconded. One of the officers of the Excise proved the non-entry o the existence of the still. He said he believed every word the witnesses had stated, as he knew that Morgan was concerned in the keeping of several illicit stills, and that some persons besides those who had given their evidence that day were now suffering for his off ence i n pr i son. capture. Mr. Henry inflicted the full penalty of £2OO on M organ that he nalwayscontrived invariably managed to to a p e for the keeping of the still ; and t hesummons against Clark and Harmer were withdrawn. escape matters _so cleverly MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Yesterday Mr. Smith, pawntroker, Pimlico, called on me and asked if I had missed some plate, and on some being shown I identified it. I went for Ser geant Joy, and the male prisoner denied taking it. The plate consisted of candlesticks, salt cellars, eco., and on my telling him that he had seen it at a pawnbroker's, he then said he had taken it. The whole of the property produced by Mr. Smith is mine and worth £l5, but I miss a great deal more. Mr. Edward Smith, pawntroker, Victoria. road, Pimlico, produced several articles of plate. The female pledged on the 7th of March sauce-boats, and on other days other articles. Some of the articles were taken in by his assistant. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the assistant had better attend on a future day. Sergeant Joy, 9 C, said that 30 duplicates were found oil the prisoner, and that there was a number of articles missed and pledged at different pawnbrokers in the metropolis. The male prisoner is about 60 years of age, and the female about 25, and it is said they had been cohabiting together. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded them for a week. LA TV 11VTELL1GENCE.—(This Day.) LORD JUSTICES' COURT. THE WINDHAM CASE. Sir H. Cairns occupied the whole of the day with his arguments in reply. . . The fresh arrivals of English wheat to this morning's market were very small. For dry parcels there was a moderate demand, and prices were steadily supported. Damp qualities, however, met a dull inquiry, at late rates. We were fairly supplied with foreign wheat. Generally speaking, the demand ruled inactive, yet no change took place in the currencies compared with Monday last. Floating cargoes of grain were in limited request, on former terms. Malting barley sold steadily at late quotations ; but grinding and distilling sorts met an inactive market. In malt a limited business was transaoted at previous currencies. The show of oats was very moderate, nevertheless, the demand was in a sluggish state, at late rates. Both beans and peas moved off slowly, yet prices, com pared with Monday, were without change. The flour trade was very dull, and American qualities were only saleable by submitting to a reduction of 6d. per barrel. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. INIt Oats. Flour.

THE RUFFIAN WITH. THE . WOODEN LEG.—Thomas Thompson, a mendicant with a wooden leg, aged forty-five, and one of the most audacious ruffians that can fall into the hands of to e police, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with violently assaulting Mr. Thomas Seaton, landlord of the Red Cross public-house, Upper East Smithfield ; George Hack, his barman; and Patrick Geraghty, a police constable, No. 195 H, all of Whom exhibited marks of vio lence on their faces. The prisoner lost a leg in the Crimean war off Sebasto pol, and he has made the best of his misfortune by becoming a regular mendicant, and has obtained large sums from the charitable. He has been frequently in custody for being drunk and dis orderly, for assaults and for riotous conduct, and is known to have threatened and assaulted persons, when he has not been relieved by them. Last night he entered the Red Cross publichouse half drunk, said he was a man-of war's-man ; and after recounting his services, and calling attention to his two Crimean medals on his breast, he soli cited, or rather demanded, alms of the customers, who re fused to give him anything. He then commenced abusing them. He also assaulted one man, and struck him vio lently. Mr. Seaton, the landlord of the Red Cross, and a most respectable man, expostulated with the prisoner, and requested him to leave the house, and en his refusal to do so attempted to remove him. The prisoner gave utterance to a volley of foul language, and struck Mr. Seaton three or four "desperate blows" on the head with his stick. A struggle took place, and the bar man Heath went to his assistance, and was also violently assaulted by the prisoner, who struck him a tremendous blow on the aye with his stick and inflicted a serious injury. Mr. John Scott, sanitary inspector and inspector of nui sances to the Limehouse District Board of Works, the father-in-law of Mr. Seaton, who was in the house, and others, went to the assistance of the landlord and his bar man, and after a severe conflict the ruffian was secured and given into the custody of the police. After the charge was taken at the Leman-street station-house, Geraghty, No. 195 H, was ordered to remove the pri soner from the charge-room to a cell, and while he was doing so the prisoner threw himself on his back and kicked Geraghty in a very savage manner about the head and face, breaking the bridge of his nose, inflicting a terri ble black eye. His head was also bruised and contused. The prisoner attempted to give an explanation, but was unable to do so, and Mr. Selfe commented on his brutal conduct, and said that any alms given to such a ruffian as the prisoner was ill bestowed, and that he ought to be kept out of every house of public entertainment in the kingdom. He sentenced the prisoner to four months imprisonment and hard labour, two months for the assault on the landlord and two months for the assault on the constable Geraghty.

LIABILITIES OF SHAREHOLDERS IN CO OPERA TIVE MANUFACTURING COMPANIES.—On Tuesday, at the County Court held at Bacup, judgment was given in a case which has excited considerable interest in the locality. In the beginning of May, 1861, a co-operative manufactur ing company was formed, denominated the Rawenstall Bob bin Manufacturing and Commercial Company. It Was in tended that the capital of the company should £50,000 in 10,000 shares of £5 each; but the entire number of persons tl whom shares were allotted was only 54, and all the shares taken were less than 120. A resolution was carried for the purchase of Hareholme Mill for the sum of £BB2 9s 6d ; but in consequence of the funds not being adequate, the scheme had to be abandoned. .As there were expenses incurred in the formation of the company, proceedings were taken to recover a proportionate amount from each shareholder to cover those expenses. It was agreed that the decision n one case should determine all the rest. The defence was isimply a question of law. It was to decide how far persons who had become shareholders had made themselves respon sib'e, in cases where the original design of the company had never been carried out. It was argued in this case that the mill had not been purchased ; that bobbins had not been manufactured, and that no business set forth in the memo randum of association had been transacted. It was urged that the company had been formed under a false pretence and as the promoters had broken faith with the share holders, they were not liable to contribute to the expenses which had been incurred. His Honour, in giving judg ment, said that in this case the company was incorporated the defendants had taken shares, paid calls, and taken part in the meetings of the company. He held that the company might sue in any competent court of 13w for calls due; and the verdict would therefore be for the plaintiffs. Re warned persons to be wary in becoming shareholders in such companies, lest they might unwittingly And them selves in courts of justice. EEPT] OCTO IBER. .7-4RIZED AND COTTONED.

Fourth, of holding correspondence with an agent of the underground railroad, who, as he himself avows, has recently run off a nigger to Toronto. Silence, sir ! choke him, Billy Sangaree, if he says a word. Fifthly, of defaming a Southern lady, while at the same time you were endeavouring to win her most attractive property and person from those who should naturally acquire them. Sixthly, of agrarianism, abolitionism, atheism, and infidelity. Prisoner at the bar, your sentence is that you be tarred and cottoned, and leave the State. If you are caught again you will be hung by the neck, and Henry Ward Beecher have mercy on your soul !" I was now marched along by my two sentries to a huge tree, not of the bandanna species. Beneath it a sugar-kettle filled with ebul lient tar was standing. My persecutors, with tran quil brutality, proceeded to disrobe me. Mellasys Plickaman took a ladleful of the vicious fluid and poured it over my head. " Aminadab," said he, " I baptise thee." I have experienced few sensa tions more unpleasant than this application. The tar descended in warm and sluggish streams, trick ling over my forehead, dropping from my eyelids. rolling over my cheeks, sealing my mouth, glueing my ears to my skull, identifying itself with my hair, pursuing the path indicated by my spine be neath my shirt—in short, enveloping me with a close-fitting armour of glutinous and most un savoury material. Each of the jury followed the example of my detested rival. In a few moments the tarring was complete. Few can see them selves mentally or physically as others see them ; but, judging from the remarks made, lam con vincedgthat I must have afforded an entertaining spectacle to the party. They roared with laughter, and jeered me. I, however, preserved a silence, discreet, and, I flatter myself, dignified. The negroes, particularly those at whose fustigation I had assisted in the morning, joined in the scoffs of their masters, calling me Bobolitionist, Black Re publican, Liberator, and other nicknames by which these simple-hearted and contented creatures express dislike and distrust. " Bring the cotton !" now cries Mellasys Plickaman. A bag of that regal product was brought. " Roll him in it," said Billy Sangaree. " Let the colonel work his own tricks," Major Licklickin said, "he's an artist, he is." I must admit that he was an artist. He fabri cated me an elaborate wig of the cotton. He arranged me a pair of bushy white eyebrows. He stuck a venerable beard upon my chin, and a moustache upon my lip. Then he proceeded to indicate my ribs with lines of cotton, and to cap my shoulders with epaulets. It would be long to describe the fantastic tricks he played with me amid the loud laughter of his crew. Occasionally, also, I heard suppressed giggles from Saccharissa at the window. I have no doubt that I should have strangled my late fiancee if such an act ha d been consistent with my personal safety. When I was completely cottoned, in the deco old decorative manner I have described, Mellasys took a banjo from an negro, and, striking it, not w ithout a certain unso phisticated and barbaric grace appropriate to the instrument, commanded me to dance. I essayed to do so, but my heart was heavy, consequently my heels wero not light. My faint attempts at pirouttes were not satisfactory. " Dance jollier, or we'll hang you," said Plickaman. " No," says Judge Pyke, " the sentence of the Court has been exe cuted. In the sacred name of justice I protest against proceeding further." Culprit, continued he in a voice of thunder, "cut for the North star, and here's passage money for you."—The Atlantic Monthly. THE FRENCH ACADEMY OF SCIENCES At the last sitting M. Delaunay communicated a paper on the secular acceleration of the mean velocity of the moon, arriving at the conclusion that Mr. Adams's results are correct. M. Fizeau read an interesting paper on the luminous intensity of sodium burning in the air. It is well-known that Sir D. Brewster's monochromatic lamp, in which sea-salt communicates a yellow tint to the flame of alcohol, a fact which MM. Kirchlroff and Bunsen have shown, is explained by the presence of sodium, sea-salt being a chloride of that metal. M. Fizeau having substituted pure sodium for the sodium, obtained a spectrum which differs considerably from those yielded by substances of which sodium is only an ingredi ent. We must refer the scientific reader to the article itself, since it could not be understood here without maps of the spectra themselves.—Marshal Vaillant sent in a paper con taining the observations of the eclipse of the sun of Decem ber last, taken at Gores by MM. Poullain and Detailles.— Mr. Warren de La Rue presented the Academy with his series of engravings of the planets and. Donati's c t anet.— M. Gaudry communicated some further geological disco veries of his effected at Pikermi, in Greece, whither, as our readers may remember, he had been sent by the Academy. Among the birds, the fossil remains of which he has found in the vicinity of that plaoe, he mentions a kind of pheasant, which he considers as constituting a new genus, but which he provisionally calls Phasianus Ay chiaci. A small species of cock he calls Gallus Zseulapii, and to a large bird of the stork genus he gives the name of Grus Pentelici. A tortoise, the posterior part of whose shell must have been moveable, has received the name of Testado marmorum. Lastly, M. Gaudry has found a vertebra of a large reptile, which may have measured about six feet, tail included. rE WEATHER. PRO: North Britain. 1re1and....... Central ....... East Coast South England.

O n t h is day, asindeed on all other festivals, the idols are duly honoured. Every Chinese temple contains an immense number of images in various postures; and with all imagin able varieties of countenance and expression, some threatening with ferocious gestures, but the gene rality with faces suggestive of blank amazement. All Chinese idols, however, agree in one point— which is their excessive fatness, corpulency being considered as a most honourable characteristic. They have, moreover, smaller idols in their houses, which are made of baked clay, painted most usually brown. The bonzes. or priests, ere treated with the greatest contempt ; it is difficult to say the reason, but no man, unless of the lowest class of life, would join their society. They are supposed to fast often ; but such fasting produces not unfrequently, as in analogous cases, that habit of body which the Chinese are chiefly wont to ad mire. They lash themselves through the public streets to expiate the sins of their congregation, but are accustomed to receive money afterwards. The Chinese religious mind is actuated rather by a belief in present than in future punishments. They per form their sacred rites more with the hope of avert ing calamity than that of obtaining positive good. .If the ca l am i ty i s not ' averted the idol is considered insufficient, and treated accordingly—his temple is razed to the ground, and he himself is much abused. " Thou dog of a spirit ! thou art well gilt, well fed, an d yet thou refusest us necessary petitions. Immediately after this he is knocked down, drawn th rough a kennel, and bespattered with filth ; but if the impending calamity appears to be averted, the insulted god is picked up, care fully washed, and has a p rom i se made to h i m re specting re-gilding, on the condition that he for gets the past. The bonz es s h are all this treatment except the gilding. Inferior spirits of an evil dis position, represented as black • and extremely attenuated, are constantly to be warded off by every Chinese family. .Should th e roof of one house over-shadow by its projection that of another, the proprietor of the latter is reduced to a condition of the greatest (listless, for of a hou se i n such a position two or more evil spirits immediat e ly become the habitues. Should a law suit not relieve him, he is oblig e d, a s a l as t resource, to raise an enormous dragon of baked earth on his own roof, with open mouth, and eyes directed towards the offending angle. This. and this alone, removes apprehension, and i s sufficient to restore tranquillity to the household.-- s Once a Week. mILx. A meeting of the Royal Agricultural Society took place on Wednesday—Mr. R. Barker in the chair. Amongst the members present were Lord Faversham, Sir john John stone, M.P., Mr. Holland, M.P., the Hon. Mr. Cavendish, M,P., Sir E. Kerrison, M.P., Mr, Adams (the American Minister), Sir T. Phillips, Professor Miller, of Stockholm, Mr. Corbett, Mr. Jonathan Peele, Mr. Cantrell, Mr. Frere, Mr. Gibbs, and Mr. Bosanquet. After the ordinary business of the session had been trans acted, Professor VOELCKER proceeded to explain the nature and quality of milk, particularly with reference to the feeding of cattle. He observed that milk was an emulsion of fatty particles in solution, of cassein and milk sugar. The colouring matter was produced by a large number of globules, and in consequence of the intimate connection between the food and the milk it was very apt to take the flavour and even the colour of the substances upon which the cows were fed. Generally speaking, the more opaque the milk was, the better would be its quality, because in that case it contained a larger amount of cream and butter. between attention ; nttio the There was an extraordinary variation in the milk pro ducedl o f the by society different particularly a nima a ; t and heedifference milk of the cow, the ass, the goat, the ewe, and that o f th e carnivorous animals—the dog, for instance—obser v i ng th at o th directed the it was a singular fact that the milk of the dog was much richer in all its various constituents, more especially in, curd and in butter, than any other kind of milk. It was so rich, indeed, that no other food could be compared with it. Solid butcher's meat contained less nutriment and more water than that description of milk. This would explain. the extreme difficulty experienced in bringing up a pup by hand. Indeed, the only food good enough for it was con centrated beef tea, and the infusion of that must be highly concentrated. Another singular circumstance connected with that description of milk was that it possessed no sugar until after the animal had been domesticated and fed upon bread. He mentioned this fact for the purpose of showing the intimate connection between the food and the composi ti of the milk. With respect to milk sugar (a large specimen of which was produced) he observed that it wa one of the most digestible of all substances, and was used as a household medicine for children in cases of indi gestiort. A teaspoonful or two of that sugar, or lactean as it was called, was a most wholesome aperient, and there was no other description of medicine so wholesome or safe as an aperient. The reason why the milk of the ass was so be neficial to invalids, was that it possessed excellent diges tive powers from the absence of curd and butter, and being a very pure .description of milk. One of the most extraor dinary circumstances with respect to ewes' milk was the great variation in its composition. A short time ago he analysed a quantity of ewes' milk for the Duke of Rich mond, who had lost many lambs, and who thought there must be something injurious in We milk. He found no pus or other matter which occasionally appeared in diseased milk under the microscope, but that it agreed as nearly as could be expected with the published analysis of milk of that description. On analysing the milk at the college farm of the society he found a difference of not less than 30 per cent of solid 'matter. The milk thus analysed, was derived from ewes that had lambed only three or four days previously. The first milk yielded by a ewe just after the lamb was dropped was more like cream than butter, but he certainly was not prepared to find so great a variation between the quality of the two description's of milk. With respect to cows' milk, it was generally richer after the third or fourth,calf. The season of the year also affected tha quality of the milk in .a remarkable degree. In moist and temperate climates a larger supply and a better quality of milk was generally obtained than in dry and hot countries. He wished to correct one popular error. It was generally supposed that the morning milk of a cow was richer than the evening milk, but experiments had shown that there was no appreciable difference, and that the qua lity of the milk depended very much upon the nature of the food taken a few hours previously. The effect of oil-cake was to increase the fattening qualities of the animal, but the result was a decrease in the quantity and quality of the milk. One of the worst possible things that could be given to a cow was oil-cake, especially bad linseed. He attributed the bad quality of the milk in large towns to the abominable matters which were occasionally put into Water containing lactic acid had a tendency to produce milk when animals were fed on conc en t ra t e d the cake, rather than to the Ealulteration of the milk itself. abundance of a food, such as bean meal or cake. In some eases it might be d v isable, in the absence of brewers' gr a i ns or di stillery refuse, to mix some of the lactic acid with barley or bean meal. The professor then proceeded to explain the various lactometers used for the purpose of testing the purity of milk, observing that a new one was in process of manufac ture, which would be found most useful to agriculturists, and which might be depended upon with perfect safety. Mr. BROWN, in proposing a vote of thanks to the profes sor, inquired what would be the effect of feeding on gorse in respect to milk. That subject had excited a great deal of attention, particularly in Ireland. Professor VOELCKER believed that gorse would be found a most excellent food. It was well known to be a good food for horses. that cows fed on grass f ffthe pasture was Lord FBVE RS HAM, in seconding the vote of thanks, re marked that there could be no doubt ° yielded an abundant supply o . n d im be als dim m i i n g i h a t h b ed e f:ed ln wi h t i h s l ake, and that both thequan titytoo rich a description of o and quality of the m more beneficial than to feed cattle nothing could be opinion good.

One most important thing in a dairy was to exclude the damp air, and he knew one farmer who had found great advantage from lighting a fire in his dairy whenever there was a prospect of a thunderstorm in sum mer. A long conversation ensued with respect to the differen modes of feeding, and the quantity and quality of the milk produced, and it was stated by Mr, Blackburn that he had frequently found his milk, when forwarded to London by railway,)n a coagulated state. He had completely reme died that by redUcitig the milk to the temperature of water. At first he placed his milk in cans as it came from the cow, at a temperature of 90 degrees, and sealed it up. He had since discovered that if it was allowed to becOme cold be - fore it was placed in the cans coagulation did not take place. The motion having been agreed to, the meeting sepa rated. Cries of " Help! Murder !" were heard on Sunday evening in the Rue do Cain, at Caen. A hand, covered with blood, was seen clutching the sill of the window of one of the houses, where a boy, about 13 years old, named Lejeune, was bleeding from two large wonnds in the throat, at Caen under the surveil lance with a shoemaker's knife. Lejeu ne, while playing just before with another lad, had bee n accosted by a man who offered him two sous to go o n an errand. He ac cepted, and followed the strang er to his room.
