About £123,000 in gold was taken from the Bank to-day for exportation, viz., £84,000 in sove reigns, and £39,000 in bars. The continuous with drawals of gold from the Bank, principally on account of recent foreign loans, are beginning to excite more attention. The total of coin and bul lion in that establishment, however, is still about £16,000,000, while £669,000 is on the way from Australia, and considerable remittances are ex pected from America. The Borussia, from New York, has brought only £2,000 in specie for England, but £26,000 for France. The amount of specie engaged for transmission to the East by the steamer Ripon, which will leave on the 20th inst., is £399,073, of which £79,197 is gold, and the residue silver.

The American packet telegraphed this afternoon announces a fresh rise in the New York exchange, and in the premium on gold, the former being quoted 137 k, and the latter 24} per cent. The prices of public securities at New York continue to rise. The continental exchanges this afternoon were scarcely so firm as on Tuesday.

CITY NEWS---THIS DAY. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The demand for money, as usual on Saturday, has bees a little quieter. There is no alteration to report in terms upon which the bankers and brokers are willing to supply the commercial community, bat the large available resources enable the latter to obtain accommodation at 1 per cent, on the best qualities of commercial bills. Very little immediate change is expected, although an increased demand, with greater firmness in the quotations, may be looked for towarus the end of the year, especially if encouragement should be given to various descrip tions of joint-stock enterprise. Since Monday last the imports of specie have been about £1,379,000, and the exports £574,000. The Ripon, which leaves on the 20th inst., with the East India and China mails, will take out £399,073 in specie. An extraordinary meeting of the London and Provincial Marine Insurance Company has been called for the 29th inst. for the purpose of con sidering and passing certain special resolutions. A dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. has been declared by the directors of the Bank of Victoria, payable in London on and after the 20th inst. Two O'CLOCK.

The Foreign and Colonial lines continued dull, at about previous rates. Joint-Stock Bank Shares have been in active de mand, and prices generally exhibit increased buoy ancy owing to speculative purchases.

A deplorable accident occurred at Beaumont gar, Oisa two evenings since. As two journeymen plum bers were pouring some naphtha from one vessel to another, it took fire from a candle which stood near, and a fearful explosion followed. The unfortunate men, with their clothes in a blaze, rushed into the street, crying out for help. Several persons hastened to throw water on them, the a nd at last extinguished the flames, but not before both men were so dreadfully burnt that they died in a few hours after. Meanwhile, the workshop where the accident happened was burning with great fury and the whole pre- Mises were in imminent danger. Fortunately, however, the fire men succeeded in confining the conflagration to the building where to the where it originated. The damage is estimated at about 10,000 f. LINES LEASED AT FIXED RENTALS.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A TRADESMAN'S SON CHARGED WITH ROBBING HIS FATHBR.---J ohn Kearns, a shabby, dissipated-looking man, was charged with being concerned, with another in custody, in stealing a quantity of knives and knife-handles of the value of £B, the property of his father, Mr. Kearns, of 425, Oxford-street, manufacturing cutler. Mr. James Kearns, a son of the prosecutor, said that on the evening of the 12th of June, at ten o'clock, he saw a parcel containing the knives and knife-handles safe behind the counter in his father's shop. The next morning at half-past seven the parcel was gone. No one could have got at the parcel without being acquainted with the shop. Mr. Knox asked the witness why ho suspected his brother. The witness said in consequence of the course of life his brother had been leading for some time, and his having robbed his father on a former occasion. He, on discover. ing the parcel had been taken away, communicated with Sergeant Cole. Sergeant Cole, 23 C, said—At seven this morning he met the prisoner in New Oxford-street, and told him that he was an officer and should take him into custody for stealing a quantity of knives and knife handles from his father in June last. The prisoner said the charge was got up against him, and asked whether the other man was in custody. He told prisoner that he was, and prisoner said he had nothing to do with the knives. He found a watch with the initials "R. W." on it, and a new knife. Mr. Kearns said it was a knife stolen from his father's desk. The prisoner asked why he was not taken into custody before. Sergeant Cole said that it was on his advice that he was not taken before, as he was desirous of getting the other person concerned first. Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner, to be brought up with the man who was found dealing with the property. WESTMINSTER. THROWING STONES IN PUBLIC THOROUGHFARES..-- William Leahy, a labourer, was charged with throwing stones in a public thoroughfare. Mr. James Deverill, of 1, York-terrace, Chelsea, said that last evening he was proceeding along the Marlborough road, Chelsea, when he was suddenly struck by a stone nearly as large as a man's fist on the chest. He turned to a person who accosted him, and informed him that the de. fendant was the person who had thrown the stone at him and he consequently seized defendant, and held him until a policeman was found, when he gave him into custody. Mr. Painter inquired whether the stone hurt the com plainant ? morning. Complainant replied that it struck him very hard, and did hurt him much. 107 i loB i TES. Mr. Paynter asked whether there had been any difference between him and the defendant ? Complainant said not the least. The defendant was a perfect stranger, and he had never exchanged a word with him. 100/ it 107} 6 i 1081 8 } 1 P 24 25 480 490 4ff I X d in Mr. Paynter wished to know whether defendant had thrown any other stones. Complainant said that shortly before this stone was thrown at him the defendant, who was armed with three large stones, was opposite the front of a baker's shop, evi.• dently inclined to do mischief. The defendant hoped the magistrate would overlook what he had done, as he was under the influence of liquor ; he had not intended any injury to the complainant, who was a stranger to him. Mr. Paynter said he might have done him a very serious injury, and it was not his fault that he did not. Throwing stones in the . streets was a most dangerous practice, and defendant must pay a penalty of 205., or be committed for 14 days. 2b 8 6'l 7} 131 & CLUE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY lEVENINU, OCTOBER 18, . 1862. THE CONDEMNED MURDERESS. PREPARATIONS FOR THE EXECUTION. The police authorities expect a large crowd of persons to be present, and accordingly the greatest precaution will be taken to prevent any thing like confusion taking place. Constables will be posted at each of the barriers on Sunday night to intercept the passage of anything that may be converted into a "good strong stand," so that the speculation in that direction will be a de cided failure. The number of police in attendance will be greatly augmented as the time for fixing the scaffold ap proaches on Monday morning, as on many occasions the drawing of the fatal machine from the court-yard of New gate has been impeded, owing to the pressure of the great number of persons who arrive in front of the Old Bailey before daybreak on occasions such as the present. The "condemned" sermon will be preached to-morrow in the chapel of the prison, but will be limited to attendants, the officials of the gaol, the inmates, and the wretohed culprit. Up to the present moment, although she has been daily visitel by the Rev. Mr. Davis, the Ordinary of New gate, she persists in the assertion of her innocence of the crime of which she has been found guilty. She does not shun conversation with those who have been appointed to watch her night and day; but, on the contrary, she fre quently enters into rather animated conversations. She has passed much of her time in writing to a number of per sons, thanking them for the exertions they have made in her behalf. The time fixed for the execution is S o'clock on Monday 7HE COLLISION Al WINCHBU.RGH. EDINBURGH, THURSDAY NIGHT. Two days have elapsed without adding to the mortality of the fearful collision at Winchburgh, which has stood since the morning after the event at 17. But several of the in jured in the Royal Infirmary here, one or two cases at Lin lithgow, and a few of the sufferers taken home are still in a very precarious state, and afford but little prospect of even tual recovery. In numerous cases the wounded passengers have been mutilated and disfigured for life. In addition to those suffering from bodily pain, several have sustained great injury from nervous shock, and others from exposure to the cold and rain of Monday night. The full catalogue of casualties has yet to be made up, but in addition to the 17 dead there have been between 50 and 60 ascertained to be seriously injured, and probably an equal number slightly hurt, comparatively few of the passengers of either train having escaped unharmed, The proportion of the dead and injured to the total number of passengers in this collision is probably as unprecedented as the character of the colli sion itself. The proportion, also, of the scalded to those suffering from other causes is unusually great, arising from the circumstance of the two engines meeting in such furious conflict, and the foremost carriages of both trains being crushed with them in the conglomerated mass. The fatality of the scalded cases is a feature common, probably, to all accidents in which these occur. The last of the 12 bodies taken to the police office has to-night been identified. It is that of an Irish labourer, named Michael M'Quade, who left the work of quarrying in which he had been engaged at Bannockburn about a month ago to go to Roxburghshiro for the harvest, being anxious, as he said, to make L 2 clear. He was returning home on the night of the collision, but, not being expected, his identification was only obtained by publishing a description in the Edinburgh papers. From inquiries madeeto-night at the infirmary, it appears that six of the patient have been able to go home, four have died and 14 remain. Of the latter, Mr. Elder, commercial tra veller, Edinburgh; Alex. Logan, shoemaker, Edinburgh; Alexander Allison, shoemaker, Linlithgow; Isaac Marr, fruiterer, Falkirk ; John Harvey, Scots Greys, and Mr. J. M'Donald, commercial traveller, are consiaered in a dan gerous state. The others, including Archibald Neill, en gine-driver, and Wm. Honeyman, guard, are doing well. The great v, eight of the disaster would appear to have fallen upon Edinburgh, and on the towns near the middle and east end of the line, Glasgow and the western towns having totally escaped. The funerals of the deceased have in many cases attracted a deep and melancholy interest. Two of the fatal cases in the Infirmary were a young man and young woman belonging to Edinburgh, who were engaged to be married. They were in the train together, and both suf fered so frightfully from scalds and bruises as only to sur vive a few hours ; they were to-day buried in one grave. Of the wounded taken to Linlithgow there are several in a very doubtful state. The most serious case is that of Robt. Shaw, clerk to Mr. Hedderwick, who was killed, and who lies at the Star and Garter Hotel in a most precarious con dition. One or two private patients also continue in great danger. The railway company have, it is stated, employed Dr. Dunsmure to visit all the sufferers, and to report upon their injuries. Since Tuesday the Sheriffs and Procurators-Fiscal of the two counties (Edinburgh and Linlithgow) have been busily engaged in taking depositions and precognitions of the rail way servants and others able to give evidence as to the cause of the catastrophe. Neill and Honey man, the sur viving engineman and guard, were yesterday examined in the Infirmary. To-day Capt. Taylor, Government inspec tor, arrived and visited the scene of the occurrence. He also examined a number of witnesses, and was admitted to see the pointsman Newton in Linlithgow prison. It is stated that. Newton, though only for a short time stationed at Crayton-bridge, had acted in the capacity of pointsman for about a year altogether, though his usual employment was that of surfaceman. His wages were 18s. a week. To day a second apprehension was made—namely, Wm. David son, driver of the pilot engine. It is understood, however, that the judicial inquiry will not be limited to the question of the negligence or blunders of subordinates, but will em brace the whole arrangements for providing for the safety of the line. This morning the first visible preparations for one of the most dreadful sights—the execution of a female—were commenced in the City. At all the thoroughfares leading to the Old Bailey work men have commenced erecting strong barriers to prevent all traffic during the time the horrid exhibition is being carried out. As usual a number of applications have been made to many of those persons having premises or windows which command a view of the scaffold, and in not a few instances rather large sums have been offered for the privi lege of witnessing the " sight" therefrom.

PICKING POCKETS.—A. young man, shabbily dressed, who gave the name of William White, of no occupation, was charged with stealing a pocket - handkerchief, the pro perty of a gentleman named Henry Souter. Police-constable Best, 461 City, said that he was on duty in King William-street, City, last night, about nine o'clock, when he saw the prisoner put his hand into the pocket of the prosecutor, and follow him over London bridge. The prisoner again put his hand in his pockets, and he saw him pull out the pocket - handkerchief. The prisoner then attempted to escape by running do wn Thomas street, but he took him into custody. At the station-house he was recognised as having been there several times previ ously, which he did not deny, but nothing further was known of him by the police. The prosecutor identified the handkerchief as his pro perty, and said that he did not feel a pull at his pocket. The prisoner, in reply to the magistrate, said, " Upon my honour I did not take the pocket handkerchief." (Laughter.) Committed for trial, THAMES. A DANGEROUS LEAP FROM A RAILWAY CARRIAGE.— Emma Dear, an interesting well-dressed and intelligent little girl aboutl3 years of age, appeared before Mr. Selfe, on a summons, which charged her with leaving a railway carriage while iu motion, and contrary to the bye laws of the North London and Blackwall railway companies. It appeared from the evidence of Amos Maynard, goods inspector on the North London line that on the arrival cf a train from Hampstead on Thursday fortnignt, at the Stepuey junction station, and before it had stopped he saw the defendant with her arm on the door of a second class carriage in the act of getting out. She jumped on to the platfo rm while the train was in motion, and fell and narrowly escaped with her life. The step or scraper of the next carriage caught her dress and pulled her towards London, and her dress be coming entangled in another carriage turned her about again. He rushed forward and dragged her from the car riage as it was dragging her along, She was in the greatest possible danger, and was severely injured. The girl said her head and shoulder were bruised, that she saw gentlemen jump out of the carriage, and that it stopped and gave a jerk, when she laid her hand on the door and was thrown down on the platform. Maynard said the train was not stopped when some gen tlemen jumped out of the carriages. The prisoner followed after them and the train went a full carriage after the prisoner jumped out. _ _ Mr. Selfe said he was very sorry indeed that the girl was injured. It would be a warning to her as long as she lived not to leave a railway carriage while the train was in motion. He regretted that the railway company had not summoned the men who jumped from the railway carriages while the train in motion. If that had been done he would have fined them very severely. He could not alto gether pass over the offence of the girl. He fined her 2s. 6d. without costs. The mother of the girl begged of the magistrate to re lease her daughter, and said she had no money to pay the fine. Mr. Selfe—You ought not to come to a police-court without money. Go home and fetch the money. Your daughter shall not be locked up, but the fine must be paid. The mother said she lived in Islington, and had a small income. She was about to leave the court when a gentle man lent her half-a-crown to pay the fine, and the girl was liberated. SHIPPING -THIS DAY.

THE ATTORNEY - GENERAL OF IRELAND."""" DANGEROUS ACCIDENT.—Letters have been received in town from the Right Hon. Thomas O'Flagan, Attorney- General for Ireland, who is at present travelling in Italy, stating that a serious accident occurred in a diligence, in which, we r ejoice to say, he fortunately escap e un i n j ure d. The right hon. gentleman and three of his daughters, ac companied by their governess , were in th e ve hi cle, when i t was capsized in the neighbourhood of Florence, the driver killed, and several persons severely inj ure d ; b ut, except i ng the great shock which he and his children sustained, they suffered no further injury. The governess received a wound on the head, but she is going on well and may be pronounced free from all danger arising from the accident. We are happy in stating that Mr. 0' Hagan is deriving great benefit from his tour, and his g eneral health is evidently improved. —Morning News.

TO TIIE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The initiative taken by the committee of which I have the honour to be secretary, in calling the working men of London to meet in Hyde Park to express their sympathy with General Garibaldi, And to protest against the French occupation of Rome, and not to insult, as Cardinal Wiseman has it, the religion of others, has led to consequences of the most serious character, not only upon the ques tion directly at issue, but also upon the most sacred one of the rights of Englishmen to meet and speak freely. I have explained, in the name of this committee, how the first public meeting was entirely taken out of our hands, and why we thought prudent to decline calling another meeting. Several news papers have complained that sufficient publicity was not given to our decision. Now, I beg to protest against this strange mode of proceeding of a certain portion of the Press. At least 50 copies of the letter announcing the de- cision of the committee were sent to the London press—but very few did insert it—they all had re produced the erroneous statement that I had an nounced a second meeting; they were bound in duty to the public to insert the contradictory letter; by not doing so they led their readers to believe that our committee would be in Hyde Park, and they led to further confusion and disorder. As Englishmen we thought we had a right to meet quietly in the people's park to further an ob ject dear to our hearts : that right being interfered with by a lawless mob, we thought it was our duty to abstain from giving them another opportunity of creating disorder, because of the name we bad in scribed on our flag; but after the proceedings of the second Sunday --after the unaccountable inaction of the police—We feel that the Garibaldi question must be left aside for the present, that we must call upon our countrymen to examine whether, under the pretence that there has been or might be disorder, Englishmen are to be debarred from the right of meeting. A Hyde Park meeting is the ultinza ratio populi —it is the right to hold them we cannot surrender. We must test the question whether the parks are ours, whether we have a right to peaceably meet there as well as anywhere else, and to discuss every topic which we think deserves our attention, with out being interfered with by the police or mob "orce. The reasoning applied by Sir R. Mayne to this particular case may apply to any other meeting— why does he not close every hall in London because of the riotous proceedings in Ireland and at Birken head ? why not close every concert-room because of the riotous conduct of a few Irish sailors at Wool wich ? why not close every publichouse because of the Westminster row ? The haste with which Sir R. Mayne tries to make the most of this, and the conduct of the mayors of the'city of London and of Bradford, in refusing to convene public meetings when called upon to do so by their fellow-citizens, raises up a suspicion that our liberties are in jeopardy, and if we are warm sympathisers of the defenders of liberty in other parts of the world, we shall show that we also can defend our right. If, as the Working Men's Gari baldian Committee, we feel bound to abstain from compromising a sacred name in a row with the " dear Irish children" of Cardinal Wiseman, or the satellites of Sir R. Mayne, we reserve our rights as Englishmen to take such counsels as our conscience shall dictate. L SPARKHALL, Secretary of the Working Men's Garibaldian Committee. 335, Strand, Oct. 15. PHYSICAL CONDITION OF 7HE SUN. By what agency is the light and heat of the sun maintained ? What is it that feeds that vast fur nace to which we owe vegetation, and in a great measur3 our very existence? An agency affording it the necessary aliment there must be, otherwise it would soon be exhausted. This question has long engaged the attention both of astronomers and natural philosophers, and various theories have been proposed with a view to solve it. The most plausi ble explanation appears to be that there is aninces sant flow of cosmical matter and aeroliths towards the sun, which absorbs them, and is thereby enabled to continue its emission of light and heat. This 'view, first propounded by Mr. Waterston, has since been modified by Mr. Thompson, who supposes that the cosmical matter destined to feed the sun has to make its way through a resisting medium, the density of which constantly increases as its strata approach the sun. Thus the friction arising from the rapid mo tion of each particle through this medium will ren der the particle itself incandescent, and the heat thus generated will contribute its quota to the tem perature of the solar sphere. In a recent paper addressed to the Academy of Sciences, M. Faye strongly opposes these theories, first, because sup posing a resisting medium to exist, this medium must move with the sun, in which case it may be be proved that a body circulating within this me dium will not fall into the sun ; and then, because nothing has been done to try the possibility of such an hypothesis by tangible experiment or observa- tion ; while, on the other hand, what has been ob served proves rather the contrary—for how, our euthor asks, could motionless clouds be seen during total eclipses in any atmosphere supposed to be tra versed in every direction by cosmical particles with such velocity as to go round the sun in less than three hours ? This latter argument, it must be ad mined, is a telling one; bat M. Faye stops here, and does not venture to hazard an opinion of his own upon the matter.—Galignanz's essenger. DINNERS FREE PASSAGES AND NOBBLERS AND TO BOOT I I—There's certainly nothing like competition, and the following, which we take from the Geelong Adver tiser, is an instance of carrying the principle out to its utmost extent :—" Yesterday morning the steamer Wm. Miskin, which offers to take passengers to Melbourne for one shilling, was about starting, when the Citizen shifte her berth over to the Moorabool wharf, and exhibited placard, intimating that ehe would take passengers, lug• gage also, for one shilling. This was met by the /*Eakin altering her announcement, and reducing the fare to six• pence—the Citizen immediately followed suit by offering a passage free. The Miskin, not to be beaten, an nounced that she w ou ld g i ve a free passage and a nobbler to boot. The captain of the Citizen then left the wharf shouting that he would give a dinner and passage to all who would go with him." The Paris Tribunal of Commerce has pronounced a judgment of some importance against the Bank of France. d M. Jeannin, a bill c l er k o f th e C om ptoir te' re ceived in the course of hi- roun d s a number: oE bankfscl nP notes, neither among which, as it turned out, was one bearing of taking the number nor signature.

There are many other false short cuts in life. The most deceptive of all is an inherited good fortune or position in society. Don't suppose lam going to jest at these things ; they carry general influence, and are sup posed by many to introduce the possessor at once to legis lative and political power. They facilitate intercourse with the wit and wisdom of the country. Much of what others, little people, learn bybooks, these, fortunately born, acquire in the daily society of their lives. They mix with philoso phers, statesmen, and lions. But do the noblest beasts themselves thus grow to be famous ? Can you learn to roar merely from living in the zoological Gardens ? Do you suppose a man gets to the head.of affairs from being familiar with the celebrities of his day ? Have our greatest statesmen risen thus ? Did the men who have the greatest influence in Parliament and literature learn it all of philosophers in their boyhood ? Pooh! Great men have been their own masters. They have generally learnt much more from the toes than the heads of the soziety. Skill in interpreting the complaints of the small, ears to hear, and sense to understand them, give political power more than the wise sentences and maxims of the great. There is no shcrt cut to be made to a statemanship by living in the society of the rulers alone,---Qncf a Week. THIRD EDI noN. SUN OFFICE, SIX O'CLOCK. FRANCE. - La Presse has the following Despatches from Saigon, of the 18th of August, bring excellent news from Cochin China. The health of our troops is satisfactory. The lands belonging to the Govern ment had been sold at good prices. The security which prevails in that portion of the country, which is occupied by French troops, is such that a great number of strangers :English, Spaniards, Dutch have established houses of busi -ness or taken land for agricultural purposes." A S TORY OF A STOCKING.—SOIne twenty years Wil ago, there fl our i s h ed i n our good town of Dundee l Boniface, landlord of one of our most comfortable hotels, an active good-tempered man, with a spice of humour, and very fond of a joke. In the evenings, say towards ten o'clock, the time of night for those who take their ease at their inn, some one of a happy coterie would say, " Come, Will, man, sit down and take a glass of punch with ua." Nothing loth, down he sat, and after he had had his glass, soma one would 5%y, "Well, 'Will, what's uppermost wi' you the nicht, for ye ha'e aye something." " Well, gentle men, I've made a discovery, and"—looking round mys teriously and knowingly—" as I see we are all married folks (if the half of them were bachelors the joke told the better) did you ever notice a peculiarity of married ladies, when going to bed that they take off the left stocking last ?" " No—nonsense--you don't say so," &c. "I do; and I assure you, from my own personal experience, it's invari ably the case. I cannot account for it, but so it is." " Well," says one, " I'm always in bed first, but I'll watch." Wagers followed ; and meeting again—" Aha, landlord, I have you now ; I would not go to bed ; and my wife thought 1 was crazy; but, man, ye've lost, for she took the stock ing off her left leg first, so you've lost, Will, my boy." " Stop a bit," says Will, " didn't you say she took off her loft stocking first 2" "Yes." " Well, was there net one left on 2" " Yes." " Well, didn't I say they always took off the left stocking last 2" Laughter universal. " Who's the dupe now—Come pay up," &c.—Advertiser. SERIOUS CONDITION OF GARIBALDI.—The fol lowing is a private letter from Spezzia, datel Oct. 12:- " After the letter I sent you the other day I feel you will, be anxious for further news of the poor General, and I have collected every scrap of news I can about him in the hope° arriving tolerably near the truth, and I regret to say that all the reports which can be relied on agree in representing him as very ill, suffering much pain, and being very much depressed, both mentally and physically, and quite bent on his scheme of going to America, with all his followers and sons, and fighting in the cause of liberty. I fear it is but too likely he may never leave Varignano. After all I have heard, I despair myself of his recovery. lie is evidently very weak and low, and they seem to allow him to get worse by not prescribing wine and the stimulants which I feel convinced in England would be recommended in such a case. He never does drink wine, I am told, when in health, and will not touch it now. Zanetti thought ill of his general health when he last saw him, though he did not think the wound in a state which would render amputation necessary. The sea air is considered so bad for him that the doctors talk of removing him whenever he is well enough to bear being carried by men a short distance. I got him asked whether he would like to see an English surgeon again, and his answer was that on no aceount would he east such a slur on his countrymen again ; he had accepted, once, but nothing now would induce him to show such want of confidence in his present doctors; and indeed I believe they are very good ones, and certainly most disin terested, as they never receive a farthing for their services, and Prandina has left a large practice to attend upon. him. But I wish I knew whether he ought not to take port wine regularly I am as much as ever anxious that some money should be placed somewhere to supply the wants that may arise from day to day, that there may be no fear of Garibaldl's suffering from want of funds. I am told Basso, his secretary (Ineed not say an unpaid functionary) is quite to be trusted to spend money rationally for him. He might be empowered to draw it. Prandina has gone away for the present, and I don't know what day he re turns. Two other young doctors are there. I have not attempted to see him, as I am convinced it must be verg bad for him to see so many people when he ought to 100 kept quiet. Of all short cuts, though, protect us from ripi. torae, abbreviation, or analysis of a book. It is sad to think how numerous they are. Crams are the curses of education. If a book is so diffuse that it can be cut down to one-fourth of its size without loss of influence, the re- sidue is sure not to be worth the trouble bestowed upon it. Reading the analysis of a good book, instead of the book itself, is like swallowing a meal without mastication or decent delay, The facts are there, inside you, no doubt; but the genius of the interior can make nothing of them. They are too solid. They have come in too sud lenly. They aro dry, tasteless, and unmanageable. Suppose we had doors to us—like patent stoves— and could put in our dinners, all at once, as we do coals on a fire with a scoop; do you think we should save either time or digestion ? But this is what the cram does. fie pops a shovelful of .dates, conclusions, formulas and likely facts into the pupil's head just where he thinks the examiner will dip in his net. They no more belong to tha pupil than the goods which are brought over night by train and are carried away next morning by the van to the goods station do to the porter. The pupil is no better then he. He is not so good, he is not so honest. The porter transfers the p trcel from one man to another ; the pupil is encouraged to put a new direction on the hamper and make the receiver believe that• it came from hint,—that it was his ; that he packed it full of his own honest property ; that it is a sample. of his own possessions. In fact, the tutor sends a load of learning to the examiner, with instructions for the bearer to cheat the latter if he can. Of course the examiner can say nothing if the right answer is given to the question he puts, though he may feel sure that it no more comes from the examinee than a telegram does from the sparrow which sits upon the wire.

FRENCH WINES IN SCOTLAND.—The difficulty in getting the French wines introduced into Scotland was the sal ject of discussion at the Edinburgh Chamber of Com werce on Tuesday. The chairman (Mr. Richardson) said be had had a conversation with Mr. Cobden, when in Edin burgh a few days ago, on the subject, and that gentleman had since expressed his views to him a letter. Mr. Cob den wrote :—" The only way in which the onsumption of French wines can be greatly promoted in this . country is by their being generally introduced at moderate p 'ices into the hotels. In the long run more money is made by selling low-priced than high-priced articles. This has bea.l proved by the sale of penny newspapers, although the track is only in its infancy. The same rule has held good in Rowland Hill's postage reform. I wish some measures could be t 1 ikon to tempt or shame the innkeepers into the sale of germ n° French wines, at moderato prices. The success of the French treaty greatly depends on this being done." Mr. M'Larem said that while a pint or half-a-pint of cheap wino was to bsa had in the London hotels the Edinburgh hotelkeepers seemed rather to desire small sales and large prafits. If the cheap wines were not introduced more largely into the hotels the public would have no means of getting acquainted with them, unless in their own houses. He believed much good would be done by introducing cheap wines for use, in pre ference to ardent spirits, and that these WiMS would be more popular when the young generat i on grew up, and that then the benefits of the French ireaty in this respect would be fully realised. The Milan Gazette announces that six schools are to be opened there for the purpose of teaching on Sundays young women, obliged to work during the week, the rudi ments of arithmetic, geography, history, reading and writing, and needlework. The item of religion ie not men tioned. A letter from Clermont (Herault) of the 13th inst. says :—" Two afternoons back a waterspout burst over the commune of Brignac, in the canton of Clermont l'Herault. In less than ten minutes the plain of Salamane was transformed into an extensive lake, the waters rising to a height of more than a meter. The carts occupied is the vintage had great difficulty in returning to the village; happily, no accident occurred. Several persons, surprised by the fall of this diluvial torrent, were compelled to take refuge in trees and upon the walls which border the road& and private pr• perties. Within the memory of man no such event had taken place in the neighbourhood —conse quently all the inhabitants of the commune assembled after the storm on the read from Brignac to Clermont to discuss th© effects of the waterspout, which may be considered as. a reall remarkable meteorological phenomenon." AFFAIRS AT NEW ORLEANS.—NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 22.—The Essex is still detained here. Gen. Butler has ordered that 10 packages of silver plate and bullion shipped by her shall be landed. Wright and Allen, who shipped some of the plate, have been arrested and sentenced to imprisonment. Hoghton Rankin drew a cheque on a bank, which was refused payment, unless Mr. Bunnas,who represents the house, took the oath of allegiance to the United States, which ho, being a British subject, refused to do. Mr. Robinson's stables were seized on Saturday, and four of his horses taken, which he was forced to redeem a t 700 dols. All these things take place because we have n o protection hero.
