The George and Henry has also arrived from China with 423,500 lbs. of tea. The gambling movements in Spanish Certificates continue, and form the principal feature of business in the foreign stock market. This paper having been very buoyant yesterday, it was naturally to be expected that it would fall to-day.

The rumour is now renewed that the Cortes will separate without doing anything for the holders. The excitement in the Liverpool cotton-market is undiminished, and the rates to-day were again higlaer.

(Before the Recorder and a Common Jury). ALLEGED ILL-TREATMENT OF BRITISH SEAMEN IN PEBPETUAL INVESTMENT, LAND, AND BUILDING SOCIETY. The eleventh annual meeting of the members of this society was held yesterday evening at the Lo ndon Coffeehouse,—Mr. John Gover iu the chair. The following is the report of the directors, which was read by the Secretary (Mr. Tresidder) "The directors, at the termination of this the eleventh year of the society's existence, have much satisfaction in reporting to the shareholders that the business has yielded a much larger profit during the pest than in any previous year, and they have been much gratified by the satisfactory testimony which is continued to be borno both by investors and borrowers to the principles of the society. The total receipts of the year amount to £107,892 13s. Bd., which sum, added to the cash received during the first ten years, make an aggregate of £1,022,905 9s. 4d. 1,220 new shares have been issued during the year, making a total of 23,313 issued since May, 1851. The sum of £27,791 16s. 7d. has been received upon investment shares, of which amount £14,240 were for realised or paid-up shares. The sum of £30,647 15s. 2d., with interest, has been repaid to shareholders, including the payment off of such subscription shares as reached their completion during the year, the owners of which received in addition to interest the accumulations of profit appropriated to them. The uncompleted subscription shares have had placed to their credit the proportion of interest due thereon, as pro vided for in the society's tables. The holders of realised shares have either been paid interest at the rate of 4} per cent., or an equivalent amount has been placed to their credit and interest allowed thereon. The total amount now under investment with the society upon shares is £120,565 12s. sd. principal, and £14,494 9a. Bd. for accumulations of interest and profits. Conformably to the society's rule, the directors have caused the usual valuation to be made of the affairs of the society, the results of which will be found in the general balance sheet. The directors have from the profits of the year's business added £290 to the reserve fund, so increasing it to £1,071 12s. 3d., and which amount is invested in Consols. The directors have apportioned amongst the holders of sub scription shares the sum of £2,054 14s. 7d., being equivalent to a bonus of five per cent, upon shares on which twelve months subscriptions or more have been paid. This bonus has been carried to the credit of the respective accounts, which for the past year will be equal to raising the in terest on subscription shares of 12f years to 91 per cent. and on subscription shares of 71 and 10 years to 9 per cent. The sum of £15,041 12s. 6d. has been placed on deposit with the society, interest being paid thereon half-yearly, after the rate of 4 per cent. per anuum, and the sum of £16,583 Os. 2d. has been withdrawn, leav ing a balance on this account of £26,819 17s. Ild. The sum of £29,458 Ils. 9d. has been advanced during the year upon the mortgage of freehold, copyhold, and lease hold properties; and the sum of £2,904 10s. has been lent to shareholders upon the security of their shares, making the advances olthe year £32,363 Is. 9d. The total sum advanced during the eleven years is £373,995 ss. 6d. The balance now due upon mortgages is £146,987 17s. 9d., whilst the interest received on advances during the year amounted to £10,851 12s. 2d. The deeds and other secu rities have been examined by the auditors, and reported upon by them in their certifioate appended to the balance sheet. The gradual but steady increase of the divisible profits proves how remunerative an investment the sub scription shares of the society are the holders of them, all of whom will, from the details of this report, doubtless feel an augmented interest in tha continued prosperity of the institution." The CHAIRMAN, in moving that the foregoing report be adopted, drew attention to the fact that there were no fewer than 4,000 building societies registered in the United Kingdom, and it was gratifying to find that their own society stood at the head of the list. It had now issued 23,313 shares, it had a host of members subscribing from 2s. to £lO per month, amounting in all to £lOO,OOO per annum. Its members included men of all professions and callings, all banded together in a common brotherhood for their mutual advantage. Since its formation it had dealt with £1,000,000, and to show the extent of its financial operations, he might mention that in a single year it drew upon its banker 2,500 cheques. Its business requires for its management 16 ledgers, and 35 other books of account, and was transacted by a secretary and a staff of nine clerks. Its mortgage deeds, 1,246 in number, occupied an immense space in the strong room. Two gentlemen weekly audited its accounts, which were every month again audited, and a third time subjected to that process at the end of each year. If they tobk a map of London and for ten miles round St. Paul's, and dotted the properties on which they bad advanced money, tltiy . would be surprised to see with what an immense portion of that area they had dealt. Inter alia, they had mortgages on chapels, music halls, market-places, and town-halls. To avoid litigation the deed of settlement provided that all their disputes should be referred to arbitrators, but so harmoniously had their business proceeded that they had never once had oc casion to refer a single dispute to them. He attributed the success of the society to the great efforts which had been made to plant it upon a broad basis, the care which had been taken in watching the signs of the times so as to adapt it to the wants of the public, its dealing justly both by borrowers and investors, and the constant and unre mitting exertions of the directors and their invaluable secretary. Looking to the dividends and bonuses they had paid, and the statements in the report with respect to the value of the 121 years subscription shares, it was enough to make a man proud of having been a promoter of such a society. But if they had had great successes they should remember that they had also great responsibilities, and a blunder on their part might send the society down in public estimation. It therefore became them one and all to exercise the same watchfulness and care which had raised the society to its present position, for there must be no going back. They should keep the proud position in which they at present stood, and hand it down to their successors unimpaired. The motion, having been seconded, was unani mously adopted. The retiring directors and auditors were then re elected, and the thanks of the meeting voted to the directors, the secretary, and other officers, and the proceedings terminated in the usual manner.

This was'an action to recoter £ls 65., plaintiff being a seaman and defendant the owner of the ship Roebuck. Mr. Robinson, for the plaintiff, called his client, who said that he shipped on board tle Roebuck in May last year, at Hong Kong, as steward. The ship sailed to Manilla, and in consequence of some ill-treatment on the part of the second mate, plaintiff went ashore and endeavoured to see the consul. He (plaintiff), however, was arrested by the Government authorities, an 6 put in prison where he re mained for eight days. He was treated as a deserter and sent on board the vessel upon the eve of its sailing. At Plymouth the second mate struck a seaman. Plaintiff went on shore at Plymouth, and consulted the magistrate, who said he ought to be paid his wages, but the captain said the consul had written in the log-book that plaintiff was not to be paid. In cross-examination by Mr. Henry James, the plaintiff said he could sign his owa name, but could neither read nor write. When plaintiff complained that the second mate threw a pair of boots at him the captain replied,"i f I had been the second mate I would have thrown you over board." Mr. James then produced a document entitled, "Release at the termination of the voyage." That paper bore the plaintiff's signature, but plaintiff swore that neither the captain nor the shipping master read the paper to plaintiff. Mr. James then contended that by the section of the Mer chant Shipping Act plaintiff was effectually stopped from recovery after having signed the release. The Recorder having looked at the section, said he must rule that the plaintiff could not procure, and Mr, Robinson elected to be non-suited. POLIC.Pi-s-THIS DAY. MAMXOZOUGH-STREET. SERIOUS ASSA'ULI4* LICENSED VICTUALLER.— Christoher Hardy, a vinedkr-naaker, of 21, Tottenham groveiKingsland, was charged with violently assaulting MrMord landlord of the Elephant and Castle, Oxford market. Michael Brosnan, 185 C, said at half-past 11 the previ ous night he was called by some gentlemen, in Doan-street, Park-lane, and informed that the prisoner had been vio lently assaulting a person in a cab. He went up to the cab, and saw the prisoner striking the person in the cab (Mr. Ford), but he could not say whether he had anything in his hand, and he had to pull the prisoner away from the person, assisted by main force. He then found the person in the cab, whom he ascertained to be Mr. Ford, of the Elephant and Castle, bleeding very much from a wound in the head. He then took the prisoner into custody, and Mr. Ford was taken home. He understood that Mr. Ford had met the prisoner at Cremorne-gardens, and they had both been drinking. Mr. Knox handed to our reporter the following letter " Elephant and Castle, Oxford-market. "Mr. Ford is unable to attend in consequence of severe injuries he received last night from a man in custody. " C. FORD," The letter contained the following certificate:— " This is to certify that I have attended and dressed a scalp wound, reaching the parietal bone, on the left side of the head of Mr. Ford. " E. VERNON, Surgeon." Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner till Saturday next, that it might be seen whether the injury to Mr. Ford's head was likely to be attended with any bad result. WESTMINSTER. GROSS OUTRAGE AT A LICENSED VICTUALLER'S.— James Hood was brought before Mr. Arnold charged with the following disgraceful conduct John Beaumont, waiter at Mr. Newton's, the Royal Oak, Keppel-ereet, Chelsea—Said that he was proceeding to attend upon a customer last night when defendant met him in the passage and suddenly throwing hi 9 left arm round his neck and holding him tightly, repeatedly struck him on the face. Mr. Arnold—What had occurred before he struck you ? Complainant—Nothing whatever. Mr. Arnold—No provocation of any kind, no quarrel ? Complainant—l gave him no provocations of any sort, and had no quarrel with him whatever. Mr. Arnold—Was he sober ? Complainant—No, he was not. Mr. Newton said that on a former occasion, without the least provocation, defendant had assaulted his master. De fendant had been forbidden the house, but intruded himself there. When a policeman was called he was very violent. A policeman proved that on his taking the defendant he threw himself down, and kicked him on the head. Mr. Arnold said the assaults were both very bad ones, and fined defendant £5. He was committed for two months in default. VARIETIES. (From Fun.) THE HEIGHT OF ASSURANCE.—BIondin applying for a life policy. EPIGRAM. ON THE ACCIDENT TO THE UNDERGROUND RAILWAY. This mishap in our minds no great wonder can raise, Though the walls of the sewer did fail; For the maxim's laid down in these go-ahead days, 'Tis the Fleet who should travel by rail I "WHAT OUGHT 10 BE THE EMBLEM OF IRELAND.—Not a shamrock,when they have plenty of real mountains, but a car-nation. Why are the ends of the French Emperor's moustache like good measure ?—Because they are imperial pints. CRUEL.- That "there is a skeleton in every man's house," not even staid old bachelors, who keep no secrets, can now call in question. For, ever since crinoline came into fashion, there is not only one skeleton, but perhaps half-a-dozen for every woman in the house, be she mistress or maid. No RULE WITHOUT AN EXCEPTION.—We are frequently reminded never to do things by halves. What a mistake ! One of the handsomest bridges in the world, just completed, was built by halves. (From Punch.) THE WIFE FOR OUR TASTE.—We see that Mr. John Saunders has been publishing a new book under the title of "Abel Drake's Wife." Abel is to be envied, for it re quires ncr great reasoning, or seasoning of the truth either, to tell us that a Drake's Wife must be a perfect Duck 1 With such a wife, what husband would ever be late for din ner ? THE HAPPY MEDIUM.—Our Conservative economists have been raising a great cry for what they call " the golden mean" in expenditure, What we want is the silver mean between " the penny wise" and " the pound fool ish." VERY LlKELY.—Hannibal, crossing the Alps, was (saith the historian) nsuch annoyed by insects. Mr. Charles Kean thinks that they must have been Hannibalculat. A TAPER WAlST. —Lighting the candle at both ends. FLATTERING RECOGNITION.--Madame Rachel, in con sequence of her profession of enamelling ladies, and the exorbitant prices she charges (and she certainly knows how to lay it on uncommonly thick), has been elected an hono rary member of the Skinners' Company. A REGULAR MUDLARK.—The Duke of Buccleuch's opposition to the Thames Embankment. WE LIVE TO BK DECEIVED.—It seems that there is no chance of securing a cab unless you happen to be a party of three or four. This is the first time we ever knew a cabman to evince the slightest reluctance in taking one in. THE BURGLAR'S ASFIRATION.—A akeleton-key in every cupboard. " THE HEAD AND FRONT " OF WOMAX'S "OFFEND ING."—CurI-papers. "BAR SINISTER."—The Bar to Which men like MR, EDWIN JAMES belong. DEFENCE OP CRINOLINE.—Man should receive it joy fully and gratefully as a striking proof that it is physically impossible for Lovely Woman to contract a bad habit. SHIPPING---THIS DAY.

THE COAL TRADE OF 1861.—The quantity of coal, cinders, and culm shipped coastwise in the United Kingdom, from port to port, in the year 1861, Was 10,992,597 tons, an increase) of 270,00 0 tons over the p rev i ous year . The quantity of coal brought into the port of L on d on i n the year was 5,232,082 tons, an increase of 159,000 tons over 1860. The proportion arriving by inland conveyance is constantly increasing; in 1858 it was 1,213,463 tons; in 1 861, 1,665,080 tons• The export of coal, cinders, and culm )11 1861 reached 7,855,115 tons, of the declared value of £3,60 4,790—a considerable increase (533,000 tons) over the export of 1860. France took 1,W,180 tons in 1861. METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET. To-day's market was fairly supplied with beasts. Prime Sects, &c., moved off steadily, at full prices ; otherwise the beef trade was in a sluggish state, on former terms. Sheep —the show of which was moderate --commanded previous rates ; but the demand for them was by no means active. The best Downs realised 68. per Sibs. Prime lambs realised extreme currencies ; but inferior breeds were a dull inquiry. The veal trade may be considered steady, at late quotations —viz., from 4s. to ss. per 81bs. There was only a limited inquiry for pigs and much cows, yet prices were supported. Per Slb. to sink the offal. s. d. s. d.

The following bills were read a third time and passed : Dundalk and Enniskillen Rai lway —Hatfield Chase Level. GREAT NORTHERN AND WESTERN (OF IRE LAND) RAILWAY BILL (LORDS). Col. W. PATTEN moved that the resolution, which upon the 17th day of June was reported from the select committee on standing orders, in relation to the Great Northern and Western (of Ireland) Railway Bill, be re committed.—Agreed to. PAROCHIAL ASSESSMENTS BILL. On the motion for going into committee on the bill, Mr. KNIGHT moved an amendment to the effect that the house resolve itself into such committee upon this day three months. After a short discussion the house divided, and the numbers were : Ayes Noes Majority HOUSE OF COMMONS—YESTERDAY. The SrEJLXER took the chair shortly after 12 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Mersey, Irwill, &c., Protection (Lords) Bill was read a second time. PETITIONS. Several petitions were presented from different parts of the country against the Burial Bill; against the present law relating to the sale of intoxicating liquors ; from inha bitants of Bristol in favour of an extension of the suffrage and the adoption of the ballot ; from Buckinghamshire in favour of legalising marriage with a deceased wife's sister, &c. BALLOT BILL. Mr. BERKELEY rose to move the second reading of this bill. He said he found himself on the present occa sion in the unusual position of asking the house to read the bill a second time. He was aware that there was a majo rity in that house against the bill, 427 being opposed to it, while there were only 330 gentlemen who had recorded their votes in favour of it. He had little hope, therefore, of the bill being passed in the present Parliament, unless the people outside the house took the question up with determination. He then pro ceeded to remove the load of dust and mass of cobweb which had been thrown in the eyes of the public, in refer ence to the question of the ballot. In the first place, he complained of the attacks made in the limes, and other portions of the press, on the question of the ballot, and the statements made relative to the division which had taken place when the question was last before the house. He said that eight metropolitan members, second to none in talent and position, were in favour of the ballot. Having cited a number of statistics, to show the necessity for the adoption of the ballot, the hoe; member said there was no doubt a great deal of apathy in the house in regard to the question of reform. He was prepared to support an exten sion of the franchise, but at the same time he reminded hon. members that he had always kept this subject from any connection with the reform measures that had been brought before the house, and which in some way or the other proposed to make an alteration in the franchise. But, notwithstanding that, when the question of the ballot was mentioned, by a large class of politicians, re volution was considered to ba at the bottom of it. The civil war in America was quoted as an illustration of the failure of democracy, which he denied. A civil war was not a proof of the merit of domestic institutions, for the same might be said in regard to monarchy in this coun try, for there had been no less than three civil wars in this country within a comparatively short period. He utterly denied the notion that the ballot was in any way a com ponent portion of democracy. He contended that the bal lot was in reality a barrier between the usurpation of politi cal power whether of aristocracy, moneyocracy, or demo cracy. (Hear, hear.) Sir G. GREY and Mr. NE WDEGATE opposed the bill. Mr. POTTS supported the bill. Mr. LOCKE supported the bill, and referred to his con stituency in Southwark, who were in favour of the ballot, although no attempt was made by their employers to in fluence their vote. The house divided on the motion that the bill be read a second time. Ayes Noes blajorit - --55 .aj The announcement was received with some cheers, MARRIAGES (IRELAND) BILL. The house went into committee on this bill, and re sumed at clause 45. Sir H. CAIRNS rose to move that the bill be withdrawn, as it was impossible to carry a measure of such magnitude through Parliament this session. He hoped a similar bill would be introduced next session, to which he would give all his support. After a short discussion the bill was withdrawn, and the house resumed. METROPOLIS LOCAL MANAGEMENT ACTS AMENDMENT BILL. The house went into committee on this bill. Mr. LOCKE referred to the clauses which had been pro posed by Mr, Ayrton, which provided for the repeal of cer tain sections of the act of the 18th and 19th of Victoria, cap. 120, which related to the election of members of the Me tropolitan Board. The clauses altered the constitution of the Board as regarded the election of members which it proposed to transfer to the inhabitants at large the selection of a representative on the board. Mr TITE said that it would be very impolitic to disturb the constitution of the board, who were at present engaged in works of perhaps greater extent than any other city in the world, Mr. WILLIAMS agreed with the last speaker, and con tended that it would be most undesirable to transfer the elections of members to serve on the Metropolitan Board to so large a a constituency as that proposed by the hon. and learned member for the Tower Hamlets (Mr. Ayrton). He said that he had never heard any complaints against the Metropolitan Board. Sir J. SHELLEY said that he was surprised to hear the hon, member for Lambeth state that he had never heard any complaint against the Metropolitan Board, what had been called a board of " words" instead of " works." He did not agree in the censure that had been cast on the body, and he was ready to support them to the best of his ability. He was desirous that the board should stand well with the public, and therefore he wished to see the principle of general election adopted, as proposed by his honourable and learned friend (Mr. Ayrton). The adoption of the prin ciple for which he contended would in no way affect the works which the board had in hand, and the present members would be secure of their office for three years longer. Sir J. GREY considered that an alteration of such im portance as that proposed by the hon. member for the Tower Hamlets should not be proposed at the present stage of the bill, but embodied in a bill which could be fully dis cussed on the second reading. Lord J. MANNERS opposed the clauses. Lord FERMOY said direct election, no doubt, was very popular in theory, but looking at the subject from a prac tical point of view, he did not see the necessity for the alto ration proposed by the hon. member for the Tower Ham lets. There was no application en the part of the public through their representatives in Parliament, or through any other source, for an alteration in the constitution of the Metropolitan Board. The members of this board were certainly a very well-abused body, still t.d abuse did not proceed from the peop le outside' but from members of that house. That body had been cused of talking too much, but he did not think thealtteharaa; tion proposed would introduce any bene ficial change in respect. Mr. H. B. SHERIDAN supported the aa. Mr. H. LEWIS said he had heard no i iu s a ti con by dissatisfactionstu ay,s regarded the constitution of the board his and considered that the clause proposed to get rid of the bill by a side wind. to th e clause, said it was i n opposition Mr. AYRTON, was superior contended that the opinionprinciple t nominationof f pe o l i t a h r e r t b t o h d e y M i ne thetrtoo that of election , an country. (Hear. , - p o litan Board, and no t share d h in tby was any Th e board was entrusted with enor mous powers, and he thought it only just that, such being the case, the ratepaye rs should have a voi ce i n t h e election of those to whom such powers were confided. The present bill extended these powers, and gave great authority in dealing with the comfort of the inhabitants. He did not w i s h to join in any outcry against the Metropolitan Board, but he could not help regarding the Thames Embank ment Bill as an indictment against the capacity of this board, for it transferred the power of dealing with that work from their hands to foreman bricklayers and masons. His object was to elevate the board from their degraded state, but if they preferred that state, he did not see why he should interfere With their state. It would be like throwing pearls before swine. (Laughter. ) He would therefore withd raw his clause, with the understanding that he would introduce the subject again. The clause was tben withdrawn. Mr. LOCKE 'moved a clause to follow a clause 109, the object of whidi was to provide for persons being enabled to applyto one o't her Majesty's superior courts for the rehearing of co mpetysation cases if parties conceived themselves aggrieved by the ruling of the assessor or other officers who presided at the hearing of these cases. He merely pro posed t o extend the law that prevailed in other trials to these disputed cases of compensation. He mentioned certiVin instances in which persons had been treated very unj, astly by assessors and were at present without redress. Mr. TITE said that this clau;se would alter the exist i'ng law altogether and open a new source of litigation. Sir J. SHE LLEY said that if any alteration were made to any extent, it ought to by general legislation and not be brought before the house in a clause which interfered with the Land Consolidation Clauses Act. Mr. LOCKE said that if the house agreed with the lo f cgame, t spea k e r he would withdraw the 1 b u t the jus tice ° which had not been impugned. The clause was then withdrawn . Mr. LEWIS moved a clause er .abling vestries to include iu the ewers rate precepts of tlw getroNlitall 13Qarda The clause was agreed to, and the clause was read a se cond time. Mr. COX moved the following clause :—" That the sixth section of the Act of the 18th and 19th of Victoria, chapter 120, is hereby repealed, and, in lieu thereof, be it enacted, that the vestry elected under the said Act in any parish shall consist of persons rated or assessed to the relief of the poor in respect of the occupation of any house, lands, tenements, or hereditaments in such parish." The committee divided after some discussion— For the clause .............. 24 Noes 47 Majority The clause was accordingly lost. Mr. LOCKE moved the insertion of a clause rendering ineligible for the office of vestryman, or certain other paro chial offices, who should be receiving at the time any fee or emolument out of the parish rate or taxes. Mr. LAYARD objected to the clause that it would ex clude from the vestry persons whose presence would be de sirable, and that provision had already been made for ex clusion of persons who ought not to take part in the pro ceedings. After some conversation, the committee divided — For the clause 29 Against The clause was accordingly Majority —l9 lost. The bill passed through committee. JURIES /BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. STIPENDIARY MAGISTRATES BILL. This bill was read a second time. FISHERIES (IRELAND) BILL. On the order for going into committee on this bill, Lord FERMOY objected, and after some conversation the further consideration was postponed till Friday. The Harbours Transfer Bill was read a third time and passed. The Newspapers, &c., bill was read a third time and passed. The house adjourned at 20 minutes to six. THE INTERNATIONAL CHESS CON GRESS. Yesterday was the third day of the gathering of chess celebrities, and was even more interesting than its predecessors. The rooms at St. James's-hall in which the congress holds its sittings was thronged all day, an extra charm being lent to the proceedings by the attendance of some of the fair sex, who watched the various games with curious attention. We need not furnish the names of the principal persons present, as they consisted, with the addition of Lord Cremorne and two or three others, of nearly the same players who were men tioned in our last report. The business of the day did not commence until a late hour, in consequence partly of the difficulty of bringing together the 10 gentlemen who were to contend against Herr Paul sen, and partly, perhaps, because of the fatigues of the previous sitting. Up to this time the congress has been a most satisfactory one, and the play has proved on the whole most excellent. In the grand tournament between 14 of the best players the first prize is £lOO, and day by day, as each of the 14 entered has to contend with all the others before the prize can be won, each competitor makes an effort towards completing his own series. Thus it happens that besides the chief feature of the day there are always transpiring many particulars of importance, each of which bears a certain rela tion to the great contest of the week. The names of the players and their present score are as fol lows :—Of the 13 games, Andeissen has won 10 and lost 1, the latter to the Rev. J. Owen ; Mr. Barnes has won 2 and lost 4 ; Mr. Blackburne has won 3 and lost 4; Mr. Deacon has won 3 and lost 3; Mr. Dubois has won 1 ; Mr. V. Green has lost 6; Mr. Hannah has won 3 and lost 3 ; Mr. Lowenthal has won 4 ; Mr. M'Donnell has won 5 and lost 3; Mr. Mongredieu has lost 4 and won 1 ; the Rev. J. Owen has won 4 and lost 2; Herr Paulsen has won 3 and lost 1, the latter to Anderssen ; Mr. Rablay.4l3tt won 2 and lost 6 ; Herr Steinitz has won g h t*ip,lotlit 3. The games of yesterday were three in this tournament, whereof Mr. Barnes lost P . Dubois, Mr. Black burns lost to Mr. Robey, and the Rev. T. Owen and Mr. Mongredieu played a second drawn game, The last was an arduous struggle, similar in many respects to that in which these same gentlemen en gaged previously. The opening was a "close one," and the play on both sides of a very cautious character. The contest contLued until near mid night, when Mr. Mongredieu appeared to have a slight advantage ; but the lateness of the hour pre cluded its being finished, and the game was drawn by mutual consent. The mach between Mr. Barnes and Signor Dubois deserves a few words of notice. Two games were played. The first was drawn, Mr. Barnes adopting the Sicilian defence. In the second game Mr. Barnes played the Ray Lopez attack on his opponent, but not successfully, for after a game of great beauty Signor Dubois gained a victory Both games were remarkable for their brilliancy, and it is to be observed that so quickly were the moves made that the two games occupied less than four hours. The only other game played by Signor Dubois in the tournament was with Mr. Black burne, and terminated in a draw. Yesterday's most remarkable feature, however, was, as we have intimated, Mr. Paulsen's "blind fold play." He thus opposed simultaneously ten different players of no mean capacity, with results which, under the circumstances, appear to a casual bystander as little short of the miraculous. Although called blindfold play, it was so in s pirit rather than letter. This celebrated chess player, who, at such odds, challenged so many to try their skill against him simultaneously, sat in a corner with his face to the wall, looking very much like an over grown schoolboy who was undergoing Hour after hour there he sat the po ndering over positions of his ten armies o f chessmen, uttering a penalty. mystic orders to Herr Lowentha l ,n , the o doubt secre noting minutely regard to the various Moves, andg minutely every knot in the polished wainscoting games he before him, or associating the figures on the wall in some undefined mannerts His opponen were the was as follows : conducting Sir John Blunden, Bart. 2.

About 6 o'clock Mr. Pearson succeeded in gaining a victors, but ocHerrphee o pen i n g Chevalier Paulsener known de s soon t . Bon. The chevalier played the " the Calabrese," but unfortu nately made a move out of its proper order, which, although not what might be reckoned exactly a mis take, subjected him from the outset to all the in conveniences of a cramped position ; otherwise a far prettier game might have been expected from so brilliant a player. Herr Paulsen won this game very cleverly, and his adversary resigned at half past 7. In the game with Mr. Pearson the latter .a played quite an "irregular opening , " a do p ting _ reply to his opponent's P to K 4 his K Kt to In this game an instance of the diffic ult, ' 4. 12 1 . 11 : 0 1; fold games occurred, for Paulsen fancying h is ueen en was attacked moved it away, leaving yov: h sw is i i h tl eorrra paul prise for nothing.
