MONEY MARKET. CITY NEWS---THIS DA:Y. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Money Market to day is a little firmer, and full rates are demanded by discounters for all de scriptions of commercial bills. The concession re cently made for paper of a very superior description is no longer allowed, and the cause of the movement appears to be the withdrawal of supplies of money recently available for discount purposes. The low rates of interest now allowed on deposit accounts by bankers and others has no doubt stimulattbd much of the joint stock enterprise lately intro duced, and the heavy calls on various de scriptions of shares also exercise an in fluence. There is now, as our readers are aware, a disposition to encourage new under takings, and, in some instances, the applications are excessive, which, allowing for the subscriptions of speculators, still show a desire on the part of the public to effect investments. No one seems to anticipate any important change in monetary affairs, but if new projects are successfully brought forward they can scarcely fail in conjunction with other circumstances to create greater firmness than that recently experienced. _ _ The dividends have been announced for payment on the Louisiana 5 per Cent. Bonds, and on the Ecuador Bonds. A dividend of 5 per cent. on the shares of the Norwegian Trunk Railway will be payable on and after the 23d inst. During the last few days there has been very little activity in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets. Sugars, in some instances, are a shade cheaper, but coffee, rice, fruit, and spices have re mained at about previous rates. A fair amount of business has been done in saltpetre, and the tallow market has shown symptoms of renewed animation. The operations, however, have been chiefly of a speculative description and for forward delivery. Two o'CLocK. There has not been much activity in the funds to-day, but the few transactions, real and specula tive, that have been negotiated have taken place at the improved quotations of the previous afternoon. Consols are 931 I,- for money and the 6th proximo. Although the market is by no means active the daily transactions are still in excess of the average prior to the payment of the dividends. Since then the demand for stock on behalf of investments has increased, and specula tion has been stimulated by a variety of circum stances, including the recent progress of events on the continent. The New Threes and the Reduced are 92} ; Ex chequer Bills show no change; Bank Stock has de clined to 236 ; and India 5 per Cent. Loan is sup ported at 1091 I. Foreign Securities are generally well supported, and rather more business has been transacted.

Ab o ut seven o'clock an alarm was given th a t th e ware house of Messrs. Lee, Smith, and Co., wholesale grocers, High-street, was on fire, and a large body of the police, with the nec,ssary apparatus, were despatched to the spot. At the time the fire was discovered, and indeed during the whole of the day, a terrific storm was raging in Hull, and the southerly wind served to fan the flames into a tremen dous conflagration. The upper portion of the warehouse, containing hemp and flax, was speedily in a blaze. Every effort was made to arrest the progress of the flames, but all attempts proved fruitless. The fire had obtained too great a mastery, and for nearly twelve hours it raged with un interrupted fury, consuming everything in the build ing. From the position of the building, the hose had to be taken up a narrow passage. Along this pas sage on the right hand side was the' warehouse wall, and while the fire was at its height this wall fe ll with a mendwhful crash, b ury i ng a num b er o f po lice officers and other o were ben ea th atten di ng t o th e ir duties.

LAW---THIS DAY. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Gibbons.) EXTRAORDINARY COLLISION CASE-MACARTHY V• THE GREAT EASTERN RAILWAY COMPANY• This was an action to recover £lO 14s. 6d. damages to a horse under very singular circumstances. Mr. Gray appeared for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Ashley, of Charles-square, Hoxton, for the company. The plaintiff's witnesses deposed that in the Broadway, Ludgate-hill, there was a deep hole from which rubbish was carted by the plaintiff. The cart was backed to within a few feet of the hole ; the horse's head being towards the street. On the 9th June last plaintiff's cart was in its place when a van belonging to the defendants, laden with paper, in endeavouring to get by struck the shaft of plain tiff's cart, which was with the horse precipitated into the hole, from which the latter was with difficulty extricated. Mr. Ashley—l believe it is a blind horse. In cross-examination one of the witnesses said that the wheels of plaintiff's cart were properly scotched up with a large piece of stone to each wheel. Defendant's driver could have avoided the collision with a little care. Mr. Ashley, on the part of the Company, said his clients were anxious in these cases to get at the facts. The Com pany's driver had been in its service for ten years, and was a steady man. He was taking a load of paper to the limes office, and no doubt the noise of the heavy van frightened plaintiff's horse and caused it to back into the pit. It was usual to scotch up wheels with a long stout piece of timber, and had,that been done in this case no accident would have occurred. Mr. Ashley called two officers, and, after hear ing their evidence, his Honour held that plaintiff's wheels were properly scotched up, and found for plaintiff for £7 19s. 6d. and costs.

Mrs. Mary Harvey, a widow, and a dressmaker, residing at 34, Howland •street, Fitzroy-square, said that about three weeks ago the prisoner called on her and said she came from " Madame's, 47, Newman-street, for the linen." She told the prisoner to call on the Wednesday, but she did not call ; and directly after the prisoner left the proper per son called, and she (Mrs. Harvey) then discovered that a fraud had been attempted upon her. Yesterday the pri soner again called and said that "Madame" had sent her from Newman-street for the linen. The prisoner, on her telling her that she was never sent by Madame for the linen, attempted to get away, but Mr. Hart, a gentleman residing in the house, having come to her assistance, the prisoner was detained and given into custody. Madame Theresa Pelle, 47, Newman-street, laundress, said she never sent the prisoner for the linen. Prisoner said she met a woman in Tottenham-court road, who told her to go to Mrs. Harvey's and ask for the linen. She did so, but never mentioned any name or street. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisonar for a week at the request of Sergeant E. Davis, 11 E, that other charges may be preferred. SOUTHWARK. PICKING POCKETS.—An elderly woman, named Julia Leuster, was charged before Mr. Burcham with attempting to pick pockets last evening. Police -constable 178 M said, that while on duty the pre vious evening he had been informel that the prisoner had been attempting to pick pockets, and accordingly he watched her. At the corner of Wallis-street he saw the prisoner put her hand into the pocket of a young lady, and she then ran away. He took her into custody, but the lady had disap peared, and he had been unable to trace her out. The prisoner denied the charge, and said she was merely standing at the corner of the street when the policeman took hold of her and brought her to the station. It did not appear that the prisoner was known to the pc lice. and she was remanded till Monday, MORE PICKING Po CKETS.—A very young man, decently dressed, who refused to give his name or address, but who subsequently said that his name was John Taylor, and that he resided at 5, Meeting-house-lane, North-street, Brighton, was charged, with another party not in custody, with steal. ing a purse containing 6s. 2d., the property of some person unknown. Carpenter, the Inspector of the Brighton line, said that last evening when the six o'clock train was leaving the station he saw the prisoner with another man come out of the booking-office, and they went round to the South- Eastern Railway station. His suspicions being excited, he instructed one of the police-constables on duty to watch them. He lost sight of them for some time, but afterwards saw them coming out of the station with a crowd of persons who had just returned by the excursion train. He saw the other man offer the prisoner a purse, which he refused. He then attempted to seize the latter, who flung the purse, now produced, at his feet and ran away. He then took the prisoner into custody, and he had since communicated with the different station-masters on the line. The prisoner, who denied the charge, said that he had no business or trade, was remanded till Saturday. MARKETS-THIS DAY. HAY MARKETS.

ROBBING POOR BOXES.—The Court of Assizes of the Seine yesterday tried a man, named Monnard, a Bel gian, on several charges of robbing poor-boxes in the churches of Paris and its environs. The prisoner, who had already been condemned for theft and vagrancy, was dis covered, on the night of the 30th May last, concealed in a confessional of the church of St. - Germain-des-Pres. On his person were found eight keys, iron chisels, a long piece of whaletone, and other articles adapted fur forcing poor boxes, or extracting money from them if too strong to be broken open. The prisoner was recognised as a person who bad been seen lurking about the church of St. Bernard the evening before the poor-boxes were broken open, and 60fr. or 80fr. abstracted. Two of the keys found on him were recognized as belonging to the church of Argenteuli, whence they had been stolen on the same night the poor-boxes were emptied of their contents. It was also aosncerttaaeinneidghtthsatthhee s a h o b a n o d a v renrobberiesotslept pretended that ere committed. usual e was a d . shoemaker, n s his d that hh ae t pt rhi e . tools were used by him in his trade. As to the keys he declared that they belonge d to his own trunks, but where the latter were he could not say. These explanations were not considered satisfactory by the jury, and they brought in a verdict of guilty. The Court sentenced the prisoner to eight years' hard labour, TATTERSALLS'-LAST EVENING. Settling upon the Cesarewitch and the meetings at New market occupied the attention of a large number of members, and notwith s t an di ng th e u tt er d e f e at of the favourites — Umpire, Silkstone, and Balder—there seemed to be no per ceptible deficit among backers. Bookmakers upon the whole had a bad week, and some of the layers lost more money than they have done throughout the whole of the season upon any single gathering. Those who supported Hartington—the winner of the great event—were chiefly the personal friends and acquaintances of the owner. Mr. James Smith and Mr. Sydney Smith—no relations—are the principal winners, and some idea of the sums they netted may be formed from the fact of the former gentleman having sent to his bankers' on the day after the Cesarewitch, over £22,000—a portion of his "account" collected at Newmarket. Mr. Steel, of Sheffield, as mentioned previously, won up wards of £5,000 by the result, and several other fortunate speculators throw in for nice handy stakes. Betting on the Cambridgeshire was rather spirited. Um pire, who left off in the City in the morning at 100 to 7 (taken and offered) was speedily installed first favourite, and, after lumps of money had been entrusted to him, his price at the close was 11 to 1 (taken), Dictator advanced half a point, and left off firm at 14 to 1, while Aurelian, who was first favourite at the club in the early part of the day at 14 to 1, reeeded at 16 to 1 (taken). Limosina, about whom 25 to 1 would have been taken in the morning, wag sup ported in good quarters, and at the finish 15 to 1 was the longest price obtainable. King of Diamonds was also firm at the odds quoted.

The Sleds says that the Prince de la Tour d'Au veigne-Lauraguais, the new representative of Fran3e at Rome, is the nephew of the late Cardinal Archbishop of Arras, and brother of the Archbishop of Bourges. He held the legations of Ducal Saxony, Florence, Parma, and Turin, and lastly that of Berlin. He is personally known to the Pope, to whom at the time of his exile at Gaeta he was several times despatched on missions by the Minister for Foreign Affairs. SOMNAMEIILISM.—The Courrier de l'lsiere relates an extraordinary instance of somnambulism in a young work man at Grenoble. Two nights ago, while fast asleep, he left his house, descended tewards the Quai de Saint-Lau rent, now in construction, and after walking about amongst the stones and rubbish, went on board a boat moored alongside, and then passed along the narrow planks which served for carrying the materials to the landing place. He afterwards proceeded to the suspension bridge, and jump ing lightly on one of the iron wire cables effected the peri lous ascent to the top of one of the lofty constructions on which the wires are drawn. He there sat for a few minutes, turning his head right and left, as though look ing at the number of persons who in breathless anxiety were watching his movements. He afterwards descended a b n y the same dretutnin ca g t b o le h , i w sl a ( l id k g ed ing al o o n n t g ete t d he h p is a b r e a d pe i t n of aa t t h et e y. quay, AN OLD ELECTION AND Two OLD PEERS.—The iltheneewn, in allusion to an election in Cambridge in 1806, says—lt is a the twoonrius fa ct while ot only nearly alive everyot lively. Lord elector has died, candid ates were re n Lord Henry Petty is the present Marquis of Lansdowne, o now in his 83d year. His unsuccessful opponent was then as new Viscount Paltnerston, who has entered on his 79th year. How the latter lad looked when unsuccessfully can vassing the university which subsequently was delighted to have him, will be seen from a passage in a letter of Isaac Milner's now before us :—" By-and-by in came Lord Pal merston. He conversed a full hour on the subject of the sh.ve trade, and, I can assure you, a more ingenuous ap pearance I never saw. The young man's conscience seemed hard at work for fear, not of saying too little, but of saying too much, viz., of saying more than he could justify to his own mind, from the little consideration he had given to the subject." What this young man has since said and done, we all know ; but some of us may have forgotten what Lord Henry Petty did in his day—he calmed the hot heads of our grandfathers by abolishing the tax upon hats. COTTON.—The present dearth of this valuable substance has stimulated the energy of traders, agricultu rists, and even men of science, to such a degree, that the evil is in a fair way of working out its own cure. Thus the Marquis de Fournes, who, as we stated some time ago, has succeeded in obtaining a small cotton crop in the south of France, has just sent a cotton-plant of his own rearing to the Soci6te d'Acclimatation. M. De la Cerda has sent the same society from Bahia a quantity of seeds of the Brazilian cotton-tree, a plant which requires but little care, and thrives in a dry soil; it may therefore be cultivated in countries not subject to heavy tains. The ground must be well manured, and planters ars of opinion that seeds kept for some time in manure before sowing, yield stronger and healthier plants. This tree yields its produce throughout the year, and will live from ten to twelve years ; it is ex pected to succeed extremely well in Algeria. The same gentleman promises to send the seeds of the grey cotten tree, a native plant of Brazil.— M. Ramel has called the 1 attention of the Societe d'Acclimatation to the Gossypium arboreum, or Peruvian cotttoa-tree, which grows at such an elevation above the level of the sea, that it may be reasonably expected to thrive even in the higher latitudes. This plant yields about I,ooolbs. of cotton per acre ; a plan tation of six acres requires an annual outlay of 132 dole., so that at the rate of 10 cents. per lb., six acres will produce 600 dole., or, deducting outlay, 's net income of 468 dole. ; in round numbers, I,ooof, per hectare. But this is a very low estimate, especially as the plant will grow on any soil, and may be reared in any neglected corner, or by the road side. A NEW REMEDY FOR THE SMALL-Pox.—The Sarcenia purpurea, or Indian Cup, a native plant of Neva Scotia, which we mentioned some time ago as being the specific used by the Indians against the small-pox, bids fair to realise the expectations entertained by medical men of its efficacy. In a letter addressed to the American Medical limes, Dr. Frederick W. Morris, President-Phy sition of the Halifax Visiting Dispensary, states that this Saracenia, a papaveraceous plant, will cure small-pox in all its forms within twelve hours after the patient has taken the decoction. "However alas ming and numerous the eruptions," he says, " or confluent and frightful they may be, the peculiar action of the medicine is such that very seldom is a scar left to tell the story of the disease. l either vaccine or variolous matter is washed with the in fusionthe of the Saracenia, they are deprived o t conta gious propertieb. it may be largely mixed with tea and coffee their being connoisseurs in these beverages to drink withouthas been success aware of the admixture.

We extract the following from a letter which appears in the columns of a contemporary : " As it is improbable that any very decisive events will occur before winter sets in, it is important to consider what will be the relative strength of the armies next March, should the war unhappily con tinue. Suppose that the nominal force of the North at the opening of . this campaign will e x i s t i n reality next year. It is, indeed, difficult to imagine how the Washington Government will support and handle in the field 700,000 men. Whatever the number of men, there are limits to the supply of arms, stores, transport, and the power of floating paper money. Were the North next month to call for and obtain another million of men, this, so far from adding to its strength, would weaken it. They must be fed and paid, and they could neither be brought into the field nor used there to advantage in a country so ill adapted for the operations of very large armies. But, taking 700,000 as the number on the one side, what will be that on the other ? It may he safely estimated that the Confederates have now 300,000 men under arms, and that in March next, after the n e w l ev y h as come i n t o ac ti on , th e y will have 450,000, including irregulars and all branches of the service. If, then, the attempt to subdue the country has proved futile when the propor tionate strength was as 500 to 150, what will be the prospect o f success w i th the numbers as 700 to 450? %%Tith these elements, and basing a judgment upon the experience of the past, there cannot be a reason able doubt of the ability of the South to maintain its independence." Mr. Chase informs us that he is spending at the rate of £155,000,000 sterling a year. The whole in come of the Federal Government when the war began was £11,000,000. EAST CUMBERLAND AGRICULTURAL SHOW. At the dinner of the East Cumberland Agricultural Society, G. H. Head, Esq., of Rickerby House, presided ; the Hon. Charles W. G. Howard, M.P., officiated as vice chairman. Mr. R. FERGUSON proposed the health of the members for the city. Mr. LewsoN, M.P., in returning thanks on behalf of his absent colleague and himself, said be did not know that during the last session of Parliament there were any sub jects discussed having a particular bearing on the agricul tural interest. The last session, if not one of the most in teresting, was certainly one of the most unexciting and uneventful of any they had seen for years past. At the com mencement they seemed of such friendly dispositions and so quiet, and seemed so to agree with one another, that the old simile of the happy family seemed perfectly applicable. (Laughter.) But this blessed calm did not continua the whole session. (Laughter.) After a while the trump of war was blown, the battle was set in array, and the hostile forces faced each other—(laughter)—but when they ex pected the shock of battle the opposing party left the field find left them in possession cf it. (Laughter.) It was one of those things which would have given the greatest plea sure to his volunteer friend—a sham fight. (Laughter.) Members of Parliament were in the habit of getting up and confessing their faults and saying they had done very little, but he did not know that any great complaint had been made of this. Some were of opinion that the House of Commons was a perfect reflex of the national wishes, and the reason why they did not carry any great measures was that they were not wanted. (Laughter and cheers.) He congratulated the gentlemen who held that opinion that the theory was consistent with the prac tice—the theory being that the country wants the House of Commons to do nothing, and the prac tice that they do it uncommonly well. (Laughter.) One thing they never neglected—they never neglected raising the revenue. (Hear, hear.) Their rulers wished them tobe well prepared against any foreign foe, and the cheerfulness with which the country bore a taxation unheard of in times of peace was most extraordinary, and in some respects most gratifying. (Hear, hear.) But they could not conceal from themselves that if bad times should continue, and if the con flict across the Atlantic should not be brought to a conclusion, they would have great difficulty in raising the enormous revenue. (Hear, hear.) No Legislature or bad Govern ment had conduced to the distress they saw, and he did not know that any measure of the Government could afford relief; and although they could do nothing to stop the miserable conflict which was now going on in America he was sure he expressed the feelings of this meeting when he said they most earnestly longed for a message to arrive which would proclaim the restoration of peace on the other side of the Atlantic, and restore prosperity to our own suffering classes. (Cheers.) The Hon. C. HOWARD, M.P., proposed " The Mayorand Corporation of Carlisle." There might be times of diffi culty in Carlisle, and it would require all the energy of the Mayor and Corporation to do what was in their power to relieve those who have been hitherto employed in the cot ton manufactures. He hoped the time might soon come when peace would prevail between the North and South. (Hear.) Enough bloodhad already been shed, and he hoped the North would now see it was not in their power to make conquest of the South. (Cheers.) But while he said this he did not wish his feelings should be misunderstood. It would be a grievous thing to humanity if the South, in addition to obtaining their independence, should acquire any consider able extension of territory—(hear, hear)—as it would be likely to lead to the greatest evil that can happen mankind —the extension of the system of slavery. (Cheers.) Mr. BENDLR responded, and called attention to the fact that he had not fulfilled his promise of providing a bull, as the Mayors did of old, for the benefit of the city. (Laughter.) Mr. P. H. HOWARD proposed the health of the Presi dent of the society in complimentary terms, and in the course of his speech he alluded to American affairs. He said he trusted the time had arrived or was very speedily to arrive, when the intervention of this coun try and the other Great Powers of Europe might re store peace to that land—so that we should be able to claim those high promises and blessings bestowed and proclaimed as belonging to peace makers in Holy Writ. (Cheers.) We know that unless in a state of complete exhaustion, neither of those mighty belligerents van sue for peace, and, therefore, peace must come from ex ternal well-wishers. We are by no means so unpopular in the United States as the more exaggerating portion of the press of that land would seem to say ; and he believed va should lose more by any coldness and indifference to their lot than by anything like active intervention. By thus restoring peace to that land we should also restore pros perity to our suffering operatives. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN replied in a lengthy speech, in which he traced the progress of agriculture.in the last few years. He advocated the introduction of improved breeds of stock, and new machinery, and pointed out the advantages of deep drainage and other modes by which the fertility of the soil could be increased. Capt, JAMES, of Barroch Park, in proposing the health of the Judges, referred to the remark made by the chairman about farming by the almanack. He thought our ancestors were not so far wrong. From his cwn experience he knew that on fallow wheat SOWD. before Brough Hill, and on other land wheat sown before Martinmas would be nine times out of ten better than if sown at other times—(hear , hear)—and he had also found that oats sown on the I,t of April would be nine times out of ten better than if sownon any other day in the season. (Hear, hear.) He called on the judges not to be mealy-mouthed, but if there was a blot in the show to tell them what it was, (Cheers.) Mr. FORSTER haNing replied, speaking highly of his de partment, Mr. FAWCETT proposed " The Vice-President,:: who replied. Mr, LAWSON, M.P., proposed "The Press, suggesting the formation of a farmers' club in Carlisle. Mr. W.

The inscription of "Te Deum Laudamus," in unical characters, with illuminated capitals at the beginning of every verse, commencing at the north west corner, and extending quite round the side walls, has a most impressive appearance, and is in admirable taste. The blank wall to the west, near the round, is covered with portraits of the English kings who reigned during the prosperity of theorder. The series begins with Henry 1., in whose time the knights were domiciled in this metropolis. He is seated on a regal chair, and supports with his right hand " the glorious Beanseant," or black and white war banner of the Temple. Above are the two lions of Normandy, and below appears the "Pega sus," or winged horse. Next may be noticed King Stephen, who endowed the Templars with many of their richest manors. With his right hand he grasps the Red Cross Banner, and holds a sceptre in the left; over the apex of the centre arch are portraits of Henry 11. and Richard Ccear do Lion. Henry IL was a great benefactor to the Templars ; he made them large grants in money, and endowed them with lands over the whole of England and in many yarts of Ireland. The round was consecrated in his reign. Richard is enthroned, and wields a naked sword. He owed much of his success in Palestine to the Knights, but seems to have regarded o t f he N m en with aversion, i l t y l avers;on, for being counselled by Fulk, to put away his three favourites—pride, avarice, and voluptuousness—he answered, " Thy advice le good, and I hereby give the first to the Tem plars, the second to the Benedictines, and the third to my prelates !" On the northern side of the arch we find King John, who delivered the order from all amercements in the Exche quer, and granted them exemption from all jutlg ee but the Sovereign himself, or his chief justice. At the earnest solicitation of Amaric de St. Maur, Master of the Temple, John consented to sign Magna Charts. At the west end of the north aisle is a portrait of Henry 111., under whom the oblong was finished. He is depicted with his right hand rest ing on a model of the completed building. By his charter, 1228, he conceded to them many important immunities and rights.

THE MINISTERIAL CHANGES IN FRANCE. The appointment of M. Drouyn de Lhuys to the important post of Minister of Foreign Affairs is generally considered by the Paris journals as sig nificant of a determination on the part of the Emperor not to make any modification at pre sent in the policy of France with respect to Rome. Naturally enough, the France, as well as the cleri cal journals, speak exultingly of the Ministerial modification, and represent it as an undeniable proof that their views with respect to the temporal power of the Pope is the correct one. We subjoin the following from the Temps, which, after quoting passages from M. Thouvenet's despatches, published on the 25th September, says:— - "The conclusion to be drawn from the present modifica tion is that the public had been mistaken as to the bearing of the publication in question, and that M. Thouvenel has thought the situation sufficiently prolonged to falsify the policy of France, but that his opinion has not prevailed. We may, in short, conclude that the solution of the Roman question is again postponed. As a symptom, therefore, the retirement of M. Thouvenel cannot but afford. pleasure to the partisans of the temporal power, and afflict the friends of Italian unity. Asan act, it must meet with unanimous approbation, like all those which in politi cal men denotes character, decided ideas, and personal con victions. We shall now know how M. Thouvenel will treat the Roman question if he ever returns to power, and that should it be again rending, which is not impossible, for we 'lo not think that the Court of Rome will find in the acces sion to office of K. Drouyn de Lhuys a motive for relaxing its categorical immobility. We think, on the contrary, that the situation, by being prolonged, can only more and more falsify our policy." The Presse expresses itself in these terms : "The retirement of M. Thouvenel and the appointor ent of M. Drouyn de Lhuys as his successor will produce a , leep sensation not only in France, but throughout Europe. Public opinion, which has only very limited information on which to form its judgment, will doubtless consider the replacement of the Minister of Foreign Affairs as the mark of a change, if not in the policy itself, at least in the ten .lencies of the foreign policy of the Government with regard to the Italian question. We can with difficulty explain to ourselves those modifications at the very moment when Italy has just, at the cost of the most painful effort, given a mark of her gratitude to her French all 3. The France, it is true, will be satisfied; the Monde will soften its rigours ; and probably M. de Riancey and M. de la Gue'ronniere will unite in their applause. When reaction shows itself so satisfied, it may appear natural that we should show ourselves afflicted. Nevertheless, we still hope that the bearing of the Ministerial m o difica tion is exaggerated. M. Billault has not tendered his re signation, and certainly the Minister who before the repre sentatives of the country defended the diplomatic acts of M. Thouvenel, would not consent to support those of M. Drouyn de Lhuys if they materially differed from those of his predecessor. The Minister who said, We violate at Rome the right of the Romans' will not cover with his elo quence a new policy, which will consist in rendering that relation of right indefinite." IHE ILEE7 VALLEY. Now that a new order of prophets is springing up, and the Premier himself shows an example in prognostication, we wish the most reliable of the Zadkiels would tell us when the City of London will have the courage to bridge over the deep hollow of the Holborn-valley, and make the roadway there really fit for its appointed use. We must be very careful not to boast of the magnificence of this city while there is a sort of ditch to cross in the pas sage between High Holborn and the city; we must not think of contrasting St. Paul's with St. Peter's, or the pediment of the British Museum with the freizes of Nine veh, or the Covent-garden Conservatory with the hanging gardens of Babylon. In fact, we had better just be quiet about metropolitan grandeurs and civic architecture, and the appliances of engineering in London, until that ancient chasm is finally spanned with some sort of superstructure worthy of the age and the place that require it. It is an old grievance, that of the Fleet-valley. It was once a tumbling torrent of sparkling water, and bore ships upon its tide. The tanners and others following oc cupations on its banks polluted the stream by casting the refuse of their trades into it, and in due time it became a black ditch, and at last was hidden from the public eye, and written down in the list of great underground sewers. Where it crosses in the line of Victoria and Farringdon streets still exists an ancient stone bridge ; over the stone bridge roars and rumbles the traffic of the city, more noisily and more impetuously than the foul flood below; and the only fame the valley has in modern annals is the fame of horse killing, and of proving to all the world that the city is not so grand and perfect a place as it is sometimes re presented:--City Press. --- - WHEAT versus MAIZE.—In England all cereals used as food for man are called corn ; but those who first landed in America from that country found a new cereal, also used as food by the aborigines. They added it to their catalogue of corn, with the prefix of Indian. As it had been for ages the main dependence of the Indians, so it has since become the real staff of life to 30 millions who now occupy their places, while it is gradually making its way to favour among other millions in Europe. The pioneers give no accounts of the Indians having many varieties of corn. They seem to have been content with what they had. The higher civilisation of the whites quickly seized on the new cereal, recognised its value as food for man and beast, im proved its culture, multiplied its varieties, made its increase a hundred-fold, and, by the invention of machines for shell ing it rapidly and grinding it cheaply, raised it to the posi tion of a staple so important, that if the whole wheat crop of this country were suddenly annihilated, the corn crop alone would supply us plenteously with food, It already equals the wheat crop of the whole world. The latter can be profitably cultivated only within certain latitudes, but corn grows luxuriantly in all. The border tropies refuse to yield wheat. Louisiana and Florida produce but 1,500 bushels annually, but nearly 14,000,000 bushels of corn.— Me Grocer. DRESS.—Our forefathers were in many points worse off than we are as regards dress, and it is most amus ing to contemplate the ridiculous appearance they must have presented when certain fashions were " in." Fancy a visit to the Exhibition or to a ball-rot m in shoes with toes two feet long, either standing out at right angles to the zenith, or gracefully curved upwards and fastened with a gold or silve7 buckle to the knee of the wearer. Deerfoot would scarcely manage a ten-mile run as rapidly as in his mocassins, and the mere notion of a fashionable waltz in shoes two feet long, turns one giddy with anticipation. XTet such shoes were worn, and neither ridicule nor terrors the church could put them out of fashion. relates, there was, some eight hundred yearsi ago,As i , a a violent quarrel between the clergy and the lai t y re e to long toed shoes. The clergy denounced longsynods con. vehemence, and assembled councilse and t o e with groat But the long demned it as a profane and wic k despiteevice the power of the toe, despite its inconvenience, clergy, had its day; else c hurch urch could dethrone kings, but it could not vanq uish long-toed shoes. — Social Science Review, ;S.
