MONEY AT ARKET. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Aa usual on Derby day the attendance in most departments of business throughout the City is very mach reduced. The mercantile community have aken advantage of the general inactivity and the neness of the weather to absent themselves, and at the Stock Exchange particularly, operations are very much curtailed in consequence. There is a fair demand for discount accommoda tion, but the payments of the 4th of the month have not created so much effect as might have been anticipated. The fact is, however, trade is ex ceedingly inactive, and the periodical liquidation of mercantile accounts therefore is not productive of much animation in monetary circles. The rates required for the negotiation of good commercial bills continue easy, and the Banks and discount houses have much larger balances than they can profitably employ. In the Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon a slight decline took place in the rates on Vienna and Frankfort. There were no bullion operations of importance at the Bank yesterday. In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday there was a good demand, and 10,000 bales were sold; prices of some descriptions were id. per lb. higher. CITY NEWS ---THIS DAY. Two O'CLOCK.

Ditto Account THE LONDON AND COUNTY BANK. The following important circular has been ad dressed to the proprietors of the London and County Bank " I am instructed by the directors to communicate to you their deep regret at the unfavourable issue of the two judi cial decisions, which have recently been given in relation to the affairs of the late John Sadleir and the bank. " With respect to the Irish estates, the judgment of the Irish Courts, both in the first instance and on appeal, were so absolutely in favour of the bank that the directors relied with every confidence on their being sustained in the fur ther appeal made by Mr. Eyre to the House of Lords, and their disappointment on the reversal of those judgments is proportionately great. The amount herein involved is, however, already provided for. "The suit relating to the' mortgage' has been' beard before Vice-Chancellor Wood, and, although the case on the part .of the bank was most ably argued by counsel, the Vice-Chancellor has decided adversely to the rights of the bank. "Notwithstanding the high judicial character of Vice. Chancellor Wood, the directors feel that, in a case of such magnitude, they should not be justified in resting on any decision short of the highest tribunal. It is, therefore, their intention to appeal against the present decision to the Rouse of Lords ; the amount involved in this case, as the shareholders have at their meetings been already informed, is about £lOO,OOO. " Although the amount of loss that may be thus incurred is considerable, it is a source of gratification to the directors that the reserved fund (£175,000) will enable them to liqiiidae it,• and still leave a large amount at its credit, while the future dividends of the bank will not, they feel assured, be affected, as the large sum in question has not for a long time been productive of profit. " The directors have the further satisfaction of feeling that they have the prospect of being able to terminate the anxious litigation which has so much occupied them during thg past six years, as there are no other cases in which the judgments already given in favour of the bank can be dis turised.--I am, arc., " W. WKEwAN, General Manager." sEBIO US AFFAIR NEAR SHEFFIELD. SHEFFIELD, Wedne s d ay Morning. Rumours having been ci rculated of the exhntn . a tion of bodies by the sexton of the Wardaend Ceme tery, near Sheffield, and of his having sold them for the purposes of dissection, the attention of the police has been directed to the circumstance. On examination they found a large number of bodies in an excavation in the cemetery, some of which were mutilated. Yesterday evening a mob went to the cemetery, and, en rage d at t h e s i g h t o f t h e bodies, broke into a house formerly occupied by the sexton, and then partly furnished for the use of the minister ; they forcibly entered th e p l ace , b ro k e th e doors and win dows, de s t roye d the furniture, and tore the surplice into rags. They then went to the sexton's house, turned out his wife, who was alone, and set fire to the . premises. Th e house, with its contents, was entirely destroyed. The damage exceeds £5OO. •,To one, as yet, has been apprehended. )lIPPRESSION OF THE WEST •END BROTHELS.-- Oft Tuesday the authorities, acting on the suggestion of Sir Ge orge Grey, the Home Secretary, for the suppression of the infamous houses in the West-end, commenced vigor • cue proceutings for their extirpation, and the owners and occupiers of those establishments in the vicinity of the daymarke, Leicester -square, R egent-street, Covent-gar rl-markett, and the St ran d , received notices to shut them dicted up forthwith, and a ll w h o fail to do so will be at once findin punished with the utmost rigour.

POLICE---THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREET, THIS DAY. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. A DETERMINED CASE. Matthew Newbury Coleman, a tailor, 70 years of age, was charged before Mr. 'ryrwhitt with attempting to commit suicide. Mary Jane Nutty, a respectable female, said the de• fendant was her father, and on the previous evening, in consequence of his attempting to hanghimsolf with a scarf, she gave him into custody for his protection. A female stepped into the witness•box, and said she saw the defendant get on a chair with the intention of hanging himself, and he then went into another room, and while there she heard him sharpening a knife, and on going into the room she found that he had bared his neck evidently with the intention of cutting his throat. He afterwards said that he was determined to do it, and should drown himself. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the daughter, who seemed much affitcted., said her father had latterly drank a good deal. The defendant said he was a tailor, but too old for it no w. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the best thing he could do for the de fendant was to remand him fur a week. WESTMINSTER. PITIABLE 00 CURBENCE.—James Pane, the conductor, running into the Victoria Station, Pimlico, was brought before Mr. Arnold for having unlawfully killed Thomas Henry Frost. Hannah Hibbard, of 13, Carlton-terrace, Kentish-town, said—Just before eight o'clock last evening I was in an omnibus driven by the prisoner. It was near the Victoria station, which the omnibus had just left. I was kneeling upon the seat and looking out of window, there having been a dispute with a man and the conductor, because the man's dog had torn the conductor's trousers. Suddenly, while I was looking, I saw a little child run under the omnibus. Directly afterwards I saw a woman rush towards it. I supposed she was the mother; she had an infant in her arms ; she cried out "My child I my child I " and she went to reach it, and in doing so slipped, and fell under the wheels of the omnibus. Mr. Arnold—At what pace was the omnibus going ? Witness—lt was only just started, and going very slow. Mr. Arnold—Was the child that ran under the omnibus killed ? Inspector Humphreys—No, that one escaped, but the in fant was killed. Thomas Wright, 3, Paradise-street, Lambeth—l was crossing the road at Victoria-street, and I saw the woman with an infant in her arms and another ono by her side. I saw the child run under the wheel of the omnibus. The woman tried to snatch it up, and in doing so fell under the omnibus. She was picked up between the wheels. The conductor of the omnibus said—l saw a child about two years old deliberately walk between the wheels of the carriage and stand upright under it. The mother seeing the position of the child, rushed forward and slipped down. She was carried into a house. Witness Wright recalled—l saw the infant had a scar on its temple. I heard people say the child was dead. Matthew Fraser—l am the father of the child. When I returned home last night at nine o'clock I found my in fant, which I had left well in the morning, dead, and my wife was at the Standard tavern, where she had been taken away very ill. She is still in a very bad state. Mr. Arnold—ls that all the evidence ? Inspector Humphreys—lt is. Thomas Wright—The omnibus was going very slow; it had hardly started. Mr. Arnold—There is not the least blame attachable to the defendant. This melancholy occurrence was purely accidental. Prisoner is discharged. MARKETS-THIS DAY. MARK-LANE. year not to be t half year. EPSOM RACES-THIS DAY. A very small supply of English wheat was received fresh up to this morning's market. The attendance of the trade was limited, and the demand for all qualities ruled heavy, at barely stationary prices. There was a fair show of foreign wheat on the stands. The best descriptions were firm as to value; otherwise the trade ruled very inactive, at drooping currenc i es. Floating cargoes of grain were in moderate request, at late rates. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) The barley trade was in a very sluggish state, at fully the late decline in prices. The inqniry for malt was confined to immediate wants, at late rates. In the value of fine oats very little change took place ; but the demand for other kinds was in a sluggish state, on rather easier terms. Beans and peas—the supplies of which were small, fully supported previous currencies. Flour moved off heavily, at about Monday's quotations. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK.. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

This being; Derby-day, the streets of the metro polis, at an early hour, began to assume the usual bustle and activity attendant on this great event. The House of Commons, even in the midst of a Ministerial crisis, adjourned in order to allow the " collective wisdom" of the United Kingdom to take part in the metropolitan holiday ; and the great International Exhibition, the Crystal Palace, and in fact all the attractions of London were, com paratively speaking, deserted for a trip to the ver dant downs of Surrey. Anticipating the real or imaginary wants of the thousands who betake themselves to Epsom, the shopkeepers of London have been unceasing in their exertions to meet the demand thus created. Not a shop window, for the last week or two, could be passed without seeing something very conspicuously labelled " For the Derby," or " For the Races." Four-horse drags, open barouches, and covered vans, were advertised in all directions, and from the number seen on the road the demand must have been quite equal to the supply. The great movement of the Epsom pil grims commenced at about four o'clock this morning, at which early hour all the pathways leading out of town were marked with dark mov ing lines of pedestrians, laden with the most extra ordinary variety of burthens, and the roadways were equally thronged with patient donkeys, who only required time to get over as much ground as the most agile of Derby racers. Poor Neddy was laden with all manner of movables, such as only could belong to the costermonger population, who seemed bent on securing those admirable places for viewing the great event, near the ropes, which, as the time for starting arrives, are eyed with envy by those who have paid their guinea for admittance to the Grand Stand. Never, since the now almost forgotten days of coaching, has that well-known and far-famed house► the Spread Eagle, Gracechurch-street, been so com pletely inundated with persons anxious for con veyance to the races. The street was for some time positively impassable from the number of vehicles, of all descriptions, congregated there for that purpose. The facilities offered by the railway companies afforded us an opportunity, previous to leaving town, to take a peep at the great southern centre of bustle and confusion—the Elephant and Castle. Every thing seemed to muster there. Post-chaises, that had done duty any time these months past as pigeon roosts in the worst inn's worst yard, came clatter ing along, the horses, warranted three parts blood and the other part corn, indulging in the imperfect recollection of a canter, a feeble reminiscence that the postillion fostered to the utmost by rising in his saddle now and then, as if the animal really galloped. Next arrived some swell drags, crowded outside with fast young men, and inside with all kinds of missiles, with which to pelt the lieges coming back ; there, too, aspiring clerks assembled and donned blue veils, preparatory to going quietly down by rail ; and there were also some young fellows who had so anticipated matters as even thus early in the morning to require a helping hand to steady them in their passage to the knife-board on the roofs of the omnibuses. WHITECHAPEL. The supply of meat is moderate, and the trade rules inae • tive, as follows : Beef, from 2s 6d to 4s Od ; mutton, 38 Od to 4s 4d ; lamb 68 4d to 6s 8d ; veal, 3s 8d to 4s 8d ; and pork, 3s 8d to 4s 10d per 81bs by the carcase.

The appeals on their behalf by the individuals who had had the moral courage to again produce the relics of a bygone but very pleasant age, were eloquent in the extreme; but the most tempting offers of front seats, or the most liberal suggestions by way of pecuniary arrangements, offered no inducement to counterbalance the comfort, speed, and certainty of the rail. People still remember the first break at at Kennington Turnpike, the giving way of the traces at the Swan, the constantly recurring thirst of the coachman at every roadside public-house, the imminent risk of upset in the narrow road leading to the Downs, and the not at all unclmmon contin gency of arriving on the course just as the crowd were most triumphantly cheering the winner of the blue riband of the turf, whilst the police are most unceremoniously dragging off to the lock-up those industrial and active young gentlemen who have peculiar notions about right and wrong, and who imagine they have just as much as right to your watch, purse, or pocket handkerchief, as you have yourself. And, as compared with the month ending the 4th May, 1861, the above returns show an increase of £1,027,881 in the circulation of notes in England, and an increase of £341,151 in the circulation of the United Kingdom : On comparing the above with the fixed issues of the seve ral banks the following is the state of the circulation : The English private banks are below their fixed issue .................................... £1,025,866 The English joint-stock banks are below their fixed issue ................................ £236,461 Total below fixed issue 1n England.... £1,025,327 The Scotch banks are above their fixed issue .. £1,216,804 The Irish banks are below their fixed issue .... £495,169 The average stock of bullion held by the Bank of Eng land in both departments during the month ending the 30th us unwittshofthspeesca:e month, and an increase of April was £16,974756, being an increase of £412,334 as period last year, held by the Scotch and Irish banks during the month ending the 3d April : £ compared39hle9,BB4 followingwv with e when aret compared ah p pe r a eii: d o o Gold and silver held by the Scotch banks £2,647,863 Gold and silver held by the Irish banks 2,250,921 Thanks, however, to Mr. Slight, of the Brighton, and Mr. Clarke, of the South-Western, for by their arrangements the " rail" has been brought to suit " the book" of everybody. The fares charged, though far from high, ensures respectability, and the most timid of people may safely venture to the Derby by the rail, certain to meet nothing worse than members of Parliament, select members of the prize ring, intelligent foreigners studying the man ners of the English, and those well-trussed, well braced, well-dressed unmistakeable personages who go to the Derby as a matter of business, and who under a smiling exterior perhaps conceal consider able doubts as to whether the evening will see them millionaires or paupers. as Compared with the return, and o a f d l ec 6 r l e 9, a 6 se 6 of £70,901 w h en compare d Z 4,798,774 Being re pvious a decrease with the corresponding period of last year. The confusion, crowding, and inconvenience that existed in former times at the London Bridge, Vic toria, and Waterloo stations, on the present occa sion totally disappeared, and in its place you had order and regularity of the best description. Of cause you enter the station in a state not quite as cool as a cucumber, as on the road you have been calculating the difficulties through which you will have to pass ; but your fears prove altogether groundless, for the orderly official stationed at the platform directs you civilly to the carriages ; but every now and then, when the attendance is rather too numerons, he calls out, "Forward, gentlemen, for Epsom—plenty of room lower down," and accordingly the crowd hurry on in the best pos sible good humour, which is not disturbed by your having to put up with a seat in a third, although you have taken your ticket for the first class carriage, and having for your companions a number of unmistakeable " betting men," some gentlemen pugilists, and three or four novices in the same eminent profession. However, on the Derby-day you have made up your mind not to stick at trifles, so you make the best of the situa tion, and while away the comparative tedium of the journey by meditation on the changes the events of the day will occasion, your reflections only being interrupted by the loud snorting of the iron horse that is conveying you to the scene of action. As you near Epsom the fact is vividly brought to your mind by the preparations that require to be made for quitting the carriage. One gentleman coolly pulls out a rather fast-looking neck-tie, which he arranges on his person with the greatest precision and nicety; whilst another takes from a very neat little paper parcel a shirt-collar of fault less whiteness, with which he performs a similar operation. At this moment the train begins to slacken its pace, and in a few minutes after the rush from the carriages is something tremendous. You enter the town of Epsom, and to your great astonishment you find the inhabi tants all pursuing their worldly calling with the greatest possible coolness, as certainly from their demeanour you would never imagine that the greatest horse-race in the world was about to take place but a mile or so from the town, but this is no doubt to be attributed to the fact that the thousands of pedestrians who pass through the place take all their capital with them to the race course. Before you can well say you have cleared slight of course at first, the town, your difficulty, commences, and as far as real work is concerned you seem considerably further off the Dow ns t h an w h e n you left Vict oria Station. You follow a streaming procession of pedestrians down a long and very dusty lane, but the perfume from the hedges, the singing of the birds, th e bright green fields and the gambols of the urchins by the wayside make up a scene that is perfectly delightful. With what zest your thorough Lon doner takes the first f . ew stiles, a n d how manfully he pulls" up the ; but presently th e r i s i ng ground begins to tell its tale, an d the pace which wa s brisk and elastic at first begins to slacken. The little hills all become large ones, and the Grand Stand, which you fondly imagined was within a very short distance from you, seems as if it receded by magic as you advanced. Having applied your hand_ FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Monday morning a fright ful occurrence took place at 19, Queen-street, Queen-square W es tminster. It appears that Mr. Richard Macdougall Barrett, an enrolled Volunteer, residing at the above house, had returned home from attending the drill of his corps, and took upon himself to clean the second-floor windows, and while so engaged slipped and fell to the ground, striking the area railings in his descent. He was picked up, bleeding and insensible, and taken to Westminster Hospital, when it was found that his skull was fractured, he expired shortly after his admission. The deceased was formerly attached to the 6th Fusileers, and fought with that regiment at Lucknow, Cawnpore, aad throughout the Indian mutiny. Express. BRITISH POSSESSIONS Pald.

The threat is effectual, and the person who was venturous enough to at tempt to reach the goal by any but the long dusty never-ending lane, returns to the beaten tract amidst the laughter of the crowd. Thus it is no use for a companion to point out to you the delicious fields of young wheat which bounds the stony path, and you quietly leave the ground to patient toil-endur ing donkey, who has taken advantage of the day when nobody has time to interfere with his inclina tions, and has munched up the tender cereal until his sides are blown cut like a balloon. Hot, parched, covered with dust of a delicate brown colour, you toil on, and the conclusion you arrive at is that the distance from Epsom to the Downs is considerably longer than the distance from Pimlico to Epsom. A sudden joy, however, is experienced when you discover you have surmounted the last hill. How you take off your hat for relief, having again ap plied your handkerchief to your forehead, contem plate for a moment what you have accomplished, and loudly demonstrate your gratification that another such two miles have not to be done for some time at least. If you have any doubts as to what the Isthmian games really are you have them soon cleared up at once, and find them to be played principally• with three sticks, which mystic number is politely offered to you the moment you arrive on the magic ground. The proffered sport you politely decline, your pil grimage is to the race-course; and thus you dive into the narrow passage at the side of the Grand Stand, through which the whole of the hundreds of thousands of people must pass if they wish to see the long-looked for locality, and it is in this narrow thoroughfare that everyone first feels the influence of the place. No matter what you may have been before the moment you plunge in here and receive your first breath, you become a sporting man at once. You are asked what odds you will give against Buckstone, the Marquis, Zetland, &c. There your opinion of the respec tive merits of the beautiful smooth and shining quadrupeds that are to act so conspicuous a part in the day's performance is asked, but before you have time to answer either of the questions, another eager gentleman asks the latest news about the betting, all of which queries are put to you on the understanding that you are well-versed in the art of bet-making; and who on the Derby day has the courage to decline being thought one of the "know ing ones ?" What a delightful sensation occurs to you, hav ing, of course, luckily foiled the last pickpocket, when you plant yourself on the smooth grass in front of the Grand Stand, and look calmly at Merry England enjoying itself in its own style. But where in the name of wonder is the race-course. The place where it used to be is now one vast black and surging sea. What a Babel of discordant sounds. The shrill voices of the female venders of " kre'ckt card," the crack of the long and erooked Enfields used by adventurous sportsmen shooting for nuts, the ringing of bells, for which you can assign no reason, greet you at every turn. Every one is pushing, and elbowing his way about in order to discover some one who has promised to meet him on the Downs. Then again what a sight meets the eye as you look across to the world renowned hill. Everybody in that indescribable assemblage seems busily engaged in a picnic amongst a bevy of sun shades of every variety of colour, the pinks, blues, and whites standing out in bold relief, add to this the long lines of booths, the rows of vehicles, and altogether it makes up a scene the equal of which cannot be seen in any other nation in the world. Previous to the commencement of the sports of the day the indefatigable Mr. Dorling is seen riding up and down the course, then comes the order to clear the battle ground, and then it is peculiar to witness the immense quantity of pushing and driving about the proud and defiant Englishmen take with the most perfect good humour. They are swept up and down most mercilessly by the " Blue" Brigade, and in a very short space of time a broad green circle sweeps majestically round where just before all had been human faces, hats, bonnets and parasols. The preliminary canter of the horses previous to the start for the Derby is a feature for which all prepare themselves by commencing an intense study of the " correct card," the said card being next to an Ojibbaway manuscript, or a page of Bradshaw's Railway " Guide," probably the most difficult document in the world to understand. A rapid tramp of horses is heard, you see the gay colours of the jockeys, pink, green, orange, blue, yellow, you endeavour to discover the names of the respective competitors by a reference to the said card, but before you have arrived at a settled conclusion, hey presto ! both horses and riders have disappeared, and you crumple up your card and thrust it with disgust into your pocket. Your neighbour, perhaps, has been more fortu nate, he has discovered the Marquis, and is willing to lay almost a guinea to a gooseberry that he will prove the winner; while another equally confident exelaims " The world to nothing on Buckstone."

Hughes THE TUNNEL -BORING MACHINERY AT MONT CENIS.—The principle of the machinery for boring is ex tremely simple. The machinery consists of two essential parts— rts— one the a p paratus for driving the cutting tool into the rock and withdrawing it, so that the blow may be re peated while at the same time it is made to take a whole turn on its axis, now towards the right, and now towards the left; and the other, the machinery for ad vancing the bed on which the cutting tool rests as the Work goes on, so that the auger or borer may constantly advance as the hole is being bored, and may be kept well up to the surface it has to operate upon. Both portions of .this machine are worked by means of compressed air. When the holes are bored the machine is drawn back upon the rails to a distance of about 50 yards; great wooden doors are then shut to prevent the blasting from doing an injury to the machinery; and the holes aro filled with powder, the English fuse being used to ignite it. The blasting takes place twice in the twenty-four hours; the machine is removed the 50 yards and returned to its place in ten minutes. It requires a long time to get rid of the foul gases produced by the explosion of the powder. The f great work is now assured, and it is only a q uestion of time; the machinery is so perfect that everYYthing goes a like clockwork ; and the great desideratu m of m aking _ l on g tunnel without shafts having been obtaine d , there 8 h nee d now be no further doubt about the success of ue Tun undertakings; and the L u k ma nier and St. Gothard Tun nels will, there is no doubt, shortly be commeneed.— Builder, A CLERGYATAN ON BILLIARDS. "New York, April 26th, 1862. " My dear Mr. Bonner,—l'm in trouble, and as so many of your readers appeal to you in their tribu lation, I can think of nothing better. The facts of the case are these : I happen to be an Episcopalian yet an ardent admirer of Henry Ward Beecher, whose paper I receive every weep, and enjoy a feast in his sermons, editorials, &e. Now I am often called upon in our family circle to defend the say ings and doings of this great man, and it is needless to say, come off victor. But at last lam cornered. The report that H.W.B. was present at the billiard tournament has created quite an exitement among us. I have taken the position that he was not there, and that it was a mistake or slanderous report of the Observer and other papers. Of course I h ave nothing to offer but my own opinion, expecting a contradiction in this week's paper to sustain but have looked in vain among the 'Ears and. Eyes,' and ail through the Independent. And now I'm in as bad a position as Beauregard, and shall be obliged to fall back, unless you will reinforce roe with your opinion en the subject. One point which I have taken is, that if Henry Ward Beecher was at the billiard tournament, it was for some good pur spoosdeo, b h u s t l p I m ca e n , o 't o for o b t i e g e l i f ‘ e .o o o f r m c o a n s s u t a s n t a t i n r o t a n d e e point, A CHURCH WOMAN." As - our readers are aware, we always endeavour to publish the best answers that we can giv e or procure to the various questions to which we reply in this department. On receiving the above letter, we immediately • sent it . toINI Mr. Beecher himself. He ret urned fliy t n h il e eena fo df l e lo f wing brief, off-hand s not e.writtent wason t n h o e t o d, At o o u r r corre spondentubli cation, but merely for the benefit of Woman." Thinking, however, that it would interest Church a large number of our readers, we obtained p ar • sion to publish it :—" My dear Bonner —Had I X; to see Morphy play a game of chess, would peopl e have raised a hue and cry about it ? Well, I w en t to see the great billiard champions play in just the same wa y. There was a mixed motive. I was, a s ignorant as a man could be, and supposing the plane that was _good enough for respectable ladies and gentlemen to be good enough for me, I went there as I would to any other exhibition. It was no t at a gambling nor at a billiard saloon, but at a public hail (Irving), used for all respectable assemblies, and at which the religious anni versaries of May are advertised to be h e ld. / wished also to see what company assembled at such exhibitions, and what sort of men these great bil liard players were. Ido not apologise or excuse-- I do not even defend it. I take my right for granted. I exerc i se d it open l y an d a bo ve b oar d.

But the game of billiards is fine, and not to be condemned. It is only proper that I should add, th a t I never saw a church or public meeting more well-behaved and entirely gentlemanly than that at Ir v i ng -h all. If there was any betting thereit was se cret. There was no appearance of it. I was pleased with my visit. Nor do I see any reason yet to regret it. Truly yours, H. W. B. —New Fork Ledger.

It is believed that the amount of the old copper in this city was 60 tons ; and as the Mint authorities are desirous of obtaining it as early as possible, it would be well if persons in the receipt of large sums of copper would reserve the old coinage, and change it as expeditiously as they can. Mr. GORILLA IN LIVERPOOL.—SeveraI specimens of gorillas, one of which, it would appear, is the hugest which has yet been seen in this country, have arrived in Liverpool, under the care of Mr. R. B. Walker, a gentle man who, it will be remembered, attacked Du Chaillu's work on the Gorilla. The femur, or thigh-bone of the largest of Mr. Walker's specimens is 161 inches in length, being 2 inches longer than the femur of the largest skeleton in the British Museum, and very much larger than M. Du Chaillu's. This monster, when alive, must have measured 6 feet in height. Mr. Walker has presented his largest specimen, together with the skull and principal bones of a smaller one, to the Liverpool Free Public Museum. From the Lindsay Post we learn that a whirl wind, causing considerable damage, visited that neighbour hood on Friday, the 2d inst. Houses, barns, and fe n c e s were blown down by the fury of the storm.
