A DISCHARGED CONSTABLE CHARGED WITH LOITER ING IN THE PARE—SUSPICIOUS CONDUCT.—WiIIiam Ellis, a discharged constable from the D division, wa s charged before Mr. Knox with loitering in Hyde-park, sup posed for an unlawful purpose, as also with falsely repre senting himself as a police constable. John Fair, 8.9 A, said--I was in Hyde-park last night about nine o'clock, near the Magazine Barracks, when the prisoner came to where I was sitting, in plain clothes. Ob serving the prisoner watching me, I went up to him and asked what ho wanted. He replied, "lam a constable in plain clothes, and I am sent to watch parties in the parks by the inspector at Marylebone•lane station." I told the prisoner that I did not believe he was a constable at all, when he said "Look at my trousers and boots." I told him that notwithstanding that I did not believe ho was what ho represented him self to be, and that I should go with him to Marylebone lane. Upon this he said, "Don't do that," and was about to go away when I took him to Marlborough-mews station, but not without a refusal on his part to go. On the way to the station he said he had been in the police, but had been dismissed a month ago. Mr. Knox —Are there many people about that part of the park at that time of night ? Constable —Not many, sir. Inspector Silverton—The prisoner was called upon a month ago by the police commissioners to resign from the D division in consequence of improper conduct. The pri soner had on the uniform trousers and boots. Mr. Knox—Here is a man discharged from the police loitering about the park in a suspicious manner. I shall remand him for a week, that it may be seen what he has been doing since he has left the police. Ido not like the story at all. The prisoner was then remanded. CLERKENWELL COUNTY COUR7. THOMPSON v. STONES. This was an action to recover £2, the value of a coal alleged to have been lost through the negligence of one o, defendant's waiters. Mr. John Layton, jun., appeared for the plaintiff, who is one of the committee of the Westmoreland and Cumberland Wrestling Society; and Mr. Warton (instructed by Mr. G. 0. Nash) for defendant, proprietor of the well-known Hornsey-wood House. It appeared that on last Good Friday plaintiff's society hired the defendant's grounds for £25. Mr. Stones granted a room in the tavern for the use of the committee, and his waiters attended to it. Plaintiff alleged that he delivered his coat to one of these waiters about 12 o'clock, and he asked another waiter for it when he left. He never complained to either Mr. or Mrs. Stones until a month afterwards, and then they denied all knowledge of it. No one was allowed in the room but the waiters and members of the committee. His Honour would not trouble Mr. Warton to answer such a caso. It was evident plaintiff had not himself taken reasonable care in inquiring after his coat ; and it would be stretching the law rather too far to make innkeepers liable under such circumstances. Therefore the verdict would be for the defendant, with costs. MARKETS-THIS DAY. COVENT GARDEN.

According to the return published yesterday, the Bank bullion is now at a point below any previ ously touched during the current year. On the 11th of June last, when the rate of discount was 3 per cent., as at present, there was a decline to £15,033,100, and the total shown yesterday is only £15,018,993. But the peculiarity is observable that, owing to the restric ion of trade, the total of unemployed notes held by the Bank, instead of di minishing, as is usually the case when a continuous drain of gold is in progress, shows an increase, and is now £654,495 in excess of the amount at that period. Some further considerable changes, there fore, must take place before the question of another advance in the rate of discount is likely to be enter tained. Last November, when the bullion held was only £14,210,774, and, therefore, £808,219 below its present sum, the rate was reduced from 31 to 3 per cent., and although the difference then existed that there were signs of an approaching influx of bullion, while now there is but a doubtful antici pation even of a temporary check to a long con tinued efflux, there will apparently be no special reason for further action until a reduction to that point shall have taken place. The drain has now been of almost unprecedented duration, but there has rarely been a time when so much uncertainty prevailed as to the probabilities either of a conti nuance or a turn of the tide. There are no larie amounts immediately expected from Australia, and consequently for the present it is upon the West Indian and American supplies we must depend entirely for our Indian requirements. The quotations of exchange received this morning from Bombay do not hold out any prospect of a heavy or speedy lessening of the process of absorp tion going on there; but, on the other hand, there are reports to-day from Paris of an improvement in the condition of the Bank of France, and of a cessa tion of the recent efforts of that establishment to attract gold from all available quarters. Our grain importations are still on a scale equal to more than a million sterling per week, but these will gradually diminish, and as there will be heavy payments to come from America at the commencement of the new year, and the Australian arrivals both of wuol and gold will at that date be numerous, it is possible that if no upward movement of the rate of discount should previously be found necessary the position of the market will then admit of the operation being further postponed. Mean while, it is satisfactory to notice that the Government balance at the Bank is 75 per cent. in excess of its amount at the corres ponding period of last year, and to undr rstand that, notwithstanding the trials consequent on the cotton crisis, the revenue receipts throughout the United Kingdom are very favourably maintained. The Giornale di Napoli states that the body of the notorious brigand Esposito was found a few days ago near Centola (Principata Ullteriore) with five stabs in the neck. It is believed ho was murdered by his own com panions. ST. THOMAS'S HOSPITAL.—VALUE OF LAND.— The Alliance Bank of London and Liverpool have taken from the Metropolitan Board of Works on building lease, a plot of ground at the corner of the new street, Borough, measuring 280 yards, at an annual ground-rent of £5OO ; this, if sold in the ordinary way, would produce a freehold of £260,000 an acre. The hospital property must have been sadly mismanaged, when but £296,000 was obtained for four acres of land, with all the buildings thereon, in cluding also compulsory sale, &c. It is said that the Board of Trade originally selected a London man, who thought the property was worth £350,000, but the Board was per suaded to appoint a Liverpool man at the request of both parties. Surely it is not too kite to inquire into the matter.— City Press. A NEW RAPHAEL.—The connoissurs amongst your readers are probably acquainted with the discovery of a new Raphael, alleged to have taken place at Rome a few months ago. The work of art, which was palmed upon an admiring world by one M. Nicollet, and represents the death of St. Joseph, is ni,w being exhibited at Berlin, where it has given occasion to another discovery more curious than its own. The Berlin critics, justly renowned for their learned scepticism, speedily recollected seeing an engraving of the would. be stranger among the treasures of the Royal Mu se um. The copy is net only entirely devoid of any legend in allusion to Raphael, but, for the more effective exposure of the hoax, bears the name of the well-known Maratta, who died about the be ginning of she last century, and, although a painter of con siderable merit, has not been hitherto compared to any of the Coryphees of the art.—Lotter from Berlin. AN AMUSING MISTAKE.—A gentleman of Doual was going out in his carriage to make some calls with his wife, when he discovered that he had left his visiting cards. He ordered his footman, recently come into his service, to go to the mantelpiece in the sitting room and bring the cards he should see (here. The servant did as he was ordered, retained the articles to be used as he was directed, and off started the gentleman, sending in the footman with cards whenever the" not at home" occurred. As these were very numerous, he turned to the servant with the question " How many cards have you left ?" " Well, sir," says the footman, very innocently, " there's the king of spades, the six of hearts, and the ace of clubs I" " The deuce I" exclaimed his master. " That's gone," said John. Who, of the present generation, knows anything of Count Rumford ? At the mention of his name every body thinks of stoves. In most people's minds there is a sort of wonder whether he could be a real count if his busi ness in life was—stoves. Some of us elders of our day had fathers who knew Count Rumford, and who remembered and talked of him, not in connection with stoves, but as a nobleman of great knowledge, of an active inquiring spirit, of great administrative faculty, and the most indefatigable, resolute, vigilant, and enterprising benevolence. When ever society needs the largest amount of comfort at the smal lest cost, the name and memory of Count Rumford come up again. In times of ordinary prosperity, whenour work people are well employed and paid, and our gentry gather ve. , new luxuries about them, and entertain their mind o s ken itu of study and speculation, the man is forgotten, only for this or that intervention.

By Fredrika Bremer. Trans lated by Mary Hewitt. 2 Vols. Hurst and Blackett. Miss Bremer's work could :carcely have appeared at a more opportune moment. Recent events in Greece have cared attention to be strongly directed towards that c oun t ry , an d i ts future career offers a wide field for speculation. That it will once more become great and flourishing there can be little doubt. The higher classes a re s till di st i ngu i s h e d by intellectual activity ; the lower orders are re markable for frugality and industry. The beauty of the country is not more striking than its fertility, and nothing hut the development of its resources by a wise and liberal government is wanting. stirl this will be a work of time. Rome wasnot built in a day ; and Athens must not expect to reach even a faint approximation to her former splendour for many a year to come. Miss Bremer's visit to the country appears to have been made under extremely favourable circumstances. She was in troduced at Court, was amply provided with introductions, and the King placed his yacht at her service that she might conveniently visit the Greek Islands. Her first impression of Athens was that of surprise- at the " richly verdant vineyards and olive groves" that surrounded it ; and with reference to the exhilarating effects of Greek climate and scenery, she says But Mr. Von F- is not the only one whom I heard remark that life in this country is found to be easier than in any other on the face of the earth. T he very exterior of the people, their easy and quick movements, t h e i r en terprising, vivacious, and ga y temperament, seem to show this, as does also their propensity for levity. The pure air, the abund an t sunshine - the lovely climate, and more than all the rest, the richly -varied scenery of hill and valley, land and sea, which in a thousand bays and creeks, islands and capes, play fully embrace each other, as it were, all contribute to the same cause. When heaven and earth are so beaming with light and beauty, man may be readily tempted to forget that life has a higher object than mere enjoyment. There is a lyrical tone in both nature and history here which resembles dithyram bic inspiration. The rocks rise up boldly from the valleys or on the coast, forming natural altars and pyramids. Upon these altars of nature the Greeks have erected their sacred edifices and temples to the heavenly powers which descended to the earth as protectors or givers of victory, to Zeus, Poserdon, Apollo, Pallas,Athena. The temples of Athens are the offspring of inspiration ; those of Rome are the product of imitation." One of the most interest ing of Miss Bremer's excursions from Athens was that to Arcadia. " Towards evening," she says, " the mountains opened, and we drove down into an extensive gloriously-verdant plain, surrounded in the distance by hills, on the lower terraces of which lay picturesque villages or towns. It is the plain of Tegea and Tripolitza. We are now in Arcadia. The evening sun beams in beauty over the country, the hills shine in purple splendour. We bound lightly along over the wide champaign, amongst large vineyards and cultivated land, planted with maize, tobacco, and potatoes. Bushes of blossoming oleanders indicate here and there the course of a rivulet. On the delightfully level road we frequently meet country people, mostly young women and men, with handsome counte nances, gay and cheerful expression, all indicative of health, cleanliness, and prosperity. The com plexion of the girls is like milk and cherries. We are evidently in Arcadia. We could not pos sibly hi.ve imagined Arcadian shepherd and shep herdesses to be handsomer." But Arcadia is not wholly of this pleasant type. Much of the mountain scenery is gloomy and rugged, the river Styx rises there, and in the loftier districts the winter is severe, and snow and hail of frequent oc currence. Leaving Arcadia, the author then visited Sparta, 1113 co, and Corinth, and her next excur sion was to the Greek Islands; when she touched at CEgina, Syra, Naxos, and the holy island of Delos. The latter is now a deserted heap of ruins. The author says, " We devoted the whole morning and forenoon to rambling on the island. It was an interesting but a sorrowful excursion over the ruins and debris of its former magnificence. You can scarcely take a step without treading on pieces of broken clay vessels, often bearing upon them the traces of fine painting, or on fragments of marble. In three or four places several broken fluted columns are still standing, with their beautiful pedestals and their ornamental capitals lying on the ground. These remains are partly of blue gray and partly of white marble." At Naxos, the island of Ariadne, the author made some stay, and was delighted with its beauty though dissatisfied with its isolation, though indeed this characterises all the remot , r parts of Greece. It wants railroads and steamers, for at present communication seems uncertain in the extreme. Other excursions were made by the author to Thessaly, Delphi, and Thebes, concerning all which she has much to say that is novel and in teresting. Her remarks too upon the Greek cha racter are extremely pertinent, for although sympathising warmly with the aspirations of the people she is not blind to their defects. The work is full of most vivid and picturesque descriptions of Greek life and scenery. It has been very agreeably translated by Mary Hewitt, and it cannot fail to delight all into whose hands it may fall. Mistress and Maid. By the Author of "John Halifax, Gentleman," &e. 2 vols. Hurst and Blackett. If our "Domestic Institution" differs, in some respects materially, from that of America, it in others possesses a degree of similarity. Servants are regarded by many of their employers us if they scarcely belonged to the same race, They are looked upon and treated as in every sense inferior, and, as an inevitable consequence, there is antagonism between the two instead of sym pathy. To draw attention t. this state of things, and to point out the advantages of mutual help between mistress and maid, is the motive of this tale, which is unpretending in form, deals for the most part with everyday incidents, but is by no means devoid of pathos. Elizabeth Hand, as the maid is called, and who, the author intimates, is drawn from life, is an awkward country girl of about fifteen, who makes her debut as servant to the three Misses Leaf. These are reduced gen tlewomen who are forced to eke out a scanty income by keeping a children's school in a country town, and who, up to the advent of Elizabeth, had been forced to do their work themselves. Upon the eldest, Johanna, had fallen the chief of the domestic drudgery ; the second, Selina, is an invalid and fine lady, and the youngest, Hilary, is handsome, accomplished, and attended principally to the pupils. Finding that Elizabeth, though clumsy, was willing, Johanna and Hilary took her under their especial charge, bore her fail ings with fortitude, developed her good qualities by counsel and sympathy, and had the satisfaction of finding her turn out a very paragon of servants. For the sisters Leaf are far from being ex empt from trials. Impove r i s h e d by th e ex t ra vagance of their I father they are now worried by the recklessness of an only nephew, who having been supported by the generosity of a rich godfather, Mr. Aecott, winds up by forging a cheque and disappearing ; and as they have moved to London with the view of bettering their condition, and fail to obtain em ployment, they are soon in a state little short of destitution. Fortunately, however, Hilary meets with a good Samaritan in the shape of a Scotch woman, Miss Balquiddar, who employs her as superintend en t o f a business. Selina mar ries the wea l t h y M r . Ass° tt who had to to ner res c i l d ia e r charms, been for many years devotedder and Elizabeth goes Russell-square. Here with her own peculiar troubles. Her lover, Tom " confiding a baby to she has ffe is false to her, and her mistress, Selina, dies , then devotes herself, her care. To the latter admirer,who, having former exemplary manner ; and fulfils her duties in fe a rni ni s burying, moreover, s . fallen on evil days, to his friends the missing ihndgries of consumption, and dis covering and chastenedrestor by misfortune, promises nephew, W " r the future. Hilary's lover, also, amendment a b se nt in India, returns, th e y are ha a h por hiad d married, b e en and the tale thus ends. It s in a laudable one, is to show how pos 1 ) 1 e it c onvert a servant into a friend iso end • and we h aye that its influence on tho se who read it f ill be beneficial. l it tendon,tt doubt Punch's Pocket Book. among the many welcome heralds of the coming year none will meet with a more cordial reception than the almanac of our old friend Punch. The book is full to the brim with wit and humour, and it is scarcely po ss ibl e to open its pages without experiencing a hearty laugh_ The frontispiece this year consists of sea-side fashions for 1863, and is a sly but telling hit at the absurdity of walking sticks and a certain style tyl o f hair-dressing. In sad dition to its humorous contents the usual useful information is not overlooked. De la Rue's Red I etter Diaries. It is hardly possible to praise adequately the Red Letter Diaries just published by the Messrs. De la Rue. In beauty of workmanship, compactness of arrangement, and general information, they will be found unrivalled, while the convenient form and different styles in which they are offered to the pub. lie will insure them the most extensive patronage. Those intended for the pocket are exceedingly beautiful ; those for the desk or library table are appropriate in size and form, while those for the card case are perfect little gems. The diaries of Messrs. De la Rue are not merely smart little, volumes, calculated to catch the eye ; they are, in fact, gs useful as ornamental, and in every way fitted for the purposes for which they are intended. .31r. Jones's One Hundred Lectures. Mr. Jones continues his self-imposed task of pub lishing one hundred lectures on the Ancient and Modern Dramatic Poets with the greatest success.. To those who have had the pleasure of reading the numbers already published it is needless to say a word in recommendation; but as doubtless there are many who have not experienced the same gratifica tion, we most cordially recommend a perusal of the entertaining papers. They are the writings of a gentleman who has the subject at heart, and fully understanding how to treat it in all its bearings. The lectures are well calculated to afford to a large circle of readers much information, and, on comple tion, they will be found extremely useful with refe rence to disputed points in connection with the Drama both ancient and modern. WAR UPON HIE RAILP.OAD. Colonel Barton, of the Federal army, reporting to headquarters at Hilton Head the result of an expedition to destroy part of the Charleston and Savannah railroad, states that he proceeded with 350 men up the Coosahatchie river, and disemtark ing near the town of that name and taking a 12- pound howitzer with him, m ade for the railway.. " When about a mile from the village," he writes, " the whistle of a locomotive was heard. The con traband who was our guide said it was the dirt train, but a few moments proved that he had mis informed me. As the train approached I directed a. rapid and heavy fire upon it with grape and canister and musketry. This fire was very destructive. The train consisted of eight cars, six of which were plat forms crowded with men, and two cars filled with.. officers. There were also two light field pieces on board. Many were seen to fall at the first fire (among them the engineer), and 25 or3o jumped from the train, most of whom were maimed or killed. The rest with one exception, betaking themselves to the woods and swamps on the other side of the track. We ca rr i e d away or destroyed here about 30 stand of arms, most l y rifles, and secured one officer's sword and cap and a stand of colours belonging to the Whippy Swamp Guards.' We left a number of the enemy's dead and wounded on the track. I have since learnt from the Savannah papers that among the killed at this point was Major Harrison, of the 11th Georgia Regiment, which regiment, with the guards named above, were on the train. Immediately after the train had passed Captain Eaton, by my directions, set vigorously to work tearing up the railroad track, and continued this until the retreat was sounded." A force was approaching nearly double his number, and he be gan his retreat to his boats, and by destroying the bridges as soon as he had passed over them, suc ceeded in re-embarking with no other casualty than one lieutenant seriously wounded. WRECK OF THE NATAL MAIL STEAMER WALDENSIA.N. (From the Cape Argus.) This serious casualty occurred on the ninth of Monday ,ast, October 13, and was occasioned, it is supposed, by the vessel being carried by the current out of her course and upon the Strays Point reef, where in twelve hours she broke up and became a total wreck. The passengers, crew, and mails, were landed safely, but everything else was list. The vessel left Algoa Bay on her return trip to Cape Town at one a.m. on Saturday, October 11. She encountered severe gales, and at noon on Sunday put into St. Frances Bay for shelter. In the evening she proceeded on her voyage, but again experiencing strong head winds, on Sunday morning early put into Plettenberg's Bay, where she remained until the afternoon. The following day, Monday, the 13th, was fine, and tolerably good way was made, the ship going about seven knots an holm In a letter to Captain Murison, of the firm of Deane and John son, the agent of the ship, Captain Joss, who had com manded her ever since she was launched, says :—" I passed Cape Infante about half-past six last Monday night, about seven to eight miles off the land, and steering my usual course for L'Agulhas Point light. The night was very hazy, and about half-past nine I went off the deck, leaving the second mate in charge. I said to him, Keep a good look-out for ships,' as it was dark, and a light south-cast with the square sails set. 1 did not leave tho dock to turn in, but I went down to read, and about ten p.m. I fell asleep, and about eleven p.m, the ship ran on the reef, going about seven knots. I jumped on deck and was for a minute quite taken aback, as I thought wo were so tar off the land. I tried to back astern, but found her so fast that she would not move, the bottom some got holel, the water came in and put the fires out." Knowing the place, Captain Joss sent the second officer to a boat to look for the landing-place, the direction of which he knew. Fortunately, the officer succeeded in finding it, and in the course of an hour returned to the ship,when the debarkation of the passengers, who, with the crew, num bered upwards of 120, commenced. There weto 16 ladies on board, several of whom had young children with them, and they were first sent off in two boats under the charge of the first and second officers, and happily were all laneed safely, but very wet, as they had to wade through the surf to the shore, and many of them only partially dressed. There they were left alone until joined by the freight of the next two boats, despatched under the care of the carpenter and the boatswain, which consisted of the old men and elders, some of whom after landing succeeded in lighting a fire. Then the younger men were sent off, and finally the crew. All the passengers were landed by daylight on Tuesday morn ing, notwithstanding the darkness and the fact that two of the boats were stove. At seven o'clock the fishermen who live on the opposite side of the bay went off in their whale boat, and in it Captain Joss took the mails ashore. The water was then gaining rapidly upon the ship, the sea 'teas getting rough, every wave breaking right over the vessel„ and nothing could be got (ut of her. At eleven o'clock the captain and chief officer again went off t• the vessel, to see if any of the personal effects of the passengers could be saved, and they succeeded in getting a few things out of the saloon. But the sea was very rough, and they were able to remain on board the vessel only a very few minutes. The port side of the vessel had been stove• in, and in ten minutes after they left the mainmast went over the side and the ship broke into two parts. There was a valuable cargo on board in addition to the personal effects of the passengers. The Christy Minstrels were amongst the passengers. They lost all their instruments and dresses; and Joe Brown, the celebrated American dancer, lost his prize belt and a considerable sum in cash, which were below in his box. But perhaps the most seri ous loss of all, in the sense of being irreparable except at cost of considerable time and great labour, as well as ex pense, is that which befel Captain Bailey, of the Royal Engineers. He had just completed the trigonometrical survey of the coast, and excepting a strip of the coast which he had previously given to Lieut. Skede all his plans, calculations, and memoranda have gone down with the wreck. All the inland data are said to be irrevocAbly lost. He had been engaged upon the work for four years'. The Waldensian had been on the coast nearly five years.- She arrived in Table Bay from Plymouth on the 19th Nov., 1857, and started on her first coasting trip to Algoa Bay and Natal on the 28th of the following month. She had carried the Natal mails since 1858. She was built at Greenock, where she was launched in Marzlh, 1856 ; and was therefore six and a half years old. The conduct of Captain Joss after the ship struck, the promptziess with. which he made his dispositions for ensuring the stifety the passengers, and the firmness and decision with which they were carried out, are spoken of in terms of the highest commendation by all on board. 7HE MURDER IN S rFFOLK. The inquiry into the death of Ebenezer Ty NORWICH, Nov. 28. r c theum spt policeman I n i ze e s m a a t n t e nd whoing th wasthe murdered at Halesworth, Suffolk, on Tuesday last, was closed last night. A var i e ty o f c i rcums t a eces tending to implicate the prisoner, John Duckeri. were deposed to. Thus it was proved that mud and' duckweed had been found on his clothes resembling. that upon the deceased ; that he had been seen re moving blood from his waistcoat with a piece of flannel, &c,, while it was shown that on Tuesday night the prisoner and the deceased had been talk ing loudly together, as if engaged in an alterca tion. When taken into custody the prisoner was suffering from a violent blow across the nose, and his eyes were much swollen, whilst on the top of his head his hair was matted and clotted with blood from a wound. Mr. F. Haward, surgeon, stated that when he was called to examine deceased's body the face presented a livid appearance; the stomach contained a small quantity of food, mud, and water ; and although there was a contusion on the forehead sufficient to have caused insensibility, Mr. Haward was of opinion that the death of the deceased resulted from asphyxia, occasioned by immersion in water. The blows observable were quite sufficient to have caused insensibility, and would not have been occasioned by a fall into water. The prisoner stated that the injuries observed upon him had been sustained when he was chopping wood; but Mr. Haward stated that this explanation was quite an inadmissible one, having regard to the appearances noticeable. The jury returned a ve rdict to the effec t — " That the deceased cam e to his death b y viole nce, and ecowroaswWilily murdered by John Dr accordingly committed th e pr i soner f t o h r a T t he coroner trial ial at the next Suffolk assizes on the Ducker;' charge er." imputed to him, ye t w ar Pei . for 13otit ,t of [clod' 0 it° lOU 00t 4 4 " 23i 3 stook stock stock stook 10 10 20 20 20 11741 108} 1071 1 4 4 4 ' 9 i 25i 96 7 1 I 6
