MONEY MARKET. CITY NEWS-YESTERDAY. The directors of the Alliance Bank of London and Liverpool have this day made a call of £5 per share, payable on the 6111 of October next. It has been announced that the interest on the Exchequer-bills which become payable next month will be reduced from its present rate of 3 per cent. to 21 per cent. The measure is a natural result of the low terms now current in the discount market, and is desirable not only for the benefit of the re venue, but also to prevent these securities from at taining a premium that would render them lesseli gible for ordinary banking purposes. Looking at the number of competing securities in the form of railway debentures, &c., it is not expected that any reduction below 21 per cent. will be witnessed, whatever may yet be the increase in the abundance of money. About £213,000 in gold, chiefly Russian, was bought by the Bank to-day. The following are the rates of discount is the principal continental cities, viz.: Paris, Hamburg, and Berlin, 3 per cent- ; Vienna and St. Petersburg, 5 ; Frankfort and Brussels, 21; Turin, 41 ; and Amsterdam, 31 per cent. The demand for money to-clay in Lombard-street was only moderate. The rates for good bills ranged from 14 to 2 per cent. At the Bank of England the applications were below the average. At Paris to-day the Three per Cent. Rentes opened at 68.15, and closed at the same quotation both for money and the account, being g per cent. better than yesterday. At Vienna yesterday a fresh fall of 4 to per cent, took place in the Austrian funds, and the ex change rose from 129 to 130.75. CITY NEWS---THIS DAY. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The City of Manchester, from New York, has brought £40,000 in specie, and the Arabia £5,100. Since Monday last the imports of specie, includ ing the above, have amounted to £807,000, and the exports to £564,000. Notice has been given that tenders for bills of exchange on London to the extent of 45,00.000 rupees will be received until the 3d September next. To-day a call of 10s. per share, amounting in the aggregate to £13,000, became due on the Victoria Station and Pimlico Junction Railway 41 per cent. preference shares.

The traffic receipts of the Ottoman Railway for the week ending the 17th inst. amounted to £270 against £159 last year. Two O'CLOCK. The Liverpool Cotton Market to-day keeps firm, and the sales will probably foot up 8,000 bales. There is a moderate inquiry for money, and the rates continue easy. A further decided improvement has taken place in the aspect of the English Stock Market, and a rise of 7, per cent. has been established, Consols bein g 9321 for money and the 4th proximo. This movement has been occasioned by extensive pur chases, based upon the satisfactory condition of monetary affairs and the fineness of the weather. The New Threes and the Reduced have improved to 93 ; Exchequer Bills are flat at 15s. to 20s. Prem.; Bank Stock is firmer at 241; and India 5 Per Cent. Loan at 108 - 109.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. OVERCROWDING OF OMNIBUSES.—Two conductors in the employ of the General Omnibus Company attended to answer the complaint of Mr. Win. Love, of the Royal So ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, for carry ing more passengers ou the outside of their omnibuses than the same were constructed to carry. The cases were proved by two of the officers of the society, and the defendants fined ss. and costs ; the magis trate remarking that carrying more passengers than the pioper number was cruelty to the horses. Mr. Love said the object of the society in taking up the cases was simply to protect the animals, it being obvious to all that these vehicles were allowed by law to carry a num ber sufficient to tax the powers of the strongest horses. The committee of the society had determined to proceed against all offenders under the Metropolitan Stage Carriage Act, notices having been sent to all omnibus proprietors warning them of the society's intention. WESTMINSTER. ASSAULT ON THE POLICE.—John Brian,'a ruffianly looking man, was charged before Mr. Ingham with a violent and brutal assault on a police-constable. Police-constable Stone, 108 B, said that about 12 o'clock last night he was on duty in Knightsbridge when he saw the prisoner lying on the ground sound asleep. He awoke him, when he found that he was intoxicated. Witness asked him to go away, and offered to assist him a short distance, when he observed that he would see him (the constable) first, He then struck him. Complainant then laid hold of him for the purpose of Proceeding with him to the station-house, when the prisoner bit him. Mr. Ingham—Bit you ? Constable—Yes, sir. He bit me on my hand. (The constable showed the wound.) Mr. Ingham (to the prisoner)—What have you to say to the charge? Prisoner—l have no recollection what I did. I was so drunk. Mr. Ingham—You are committed for seven days. The prisoner was then locked up. ANOTHER VIOLENT ASSAULT ON A CONSTABLE.—JOIIII Reffade was charged with assaulting B 256. It appeared that about ten o'clock the previous night the prisoner and some more men were causing a disturbance in Pimlico, when the officer interfered. Ho was immediately assaulted by the whole of them, the prisoner being the most active of the gang. Two gentlemen, who were passing, took the part of the officer. One of them got possession of his staff, and threatened to knock down the constable's assail ants, when they desisted. The prisoner was then conveyed to the station. house. He was fined 10s., or seven days' imprisonment. SOUTHWARK. BURGLARY.—George Smithers and William Davis were charged this morning with being found on the premises of Messrs. Morton and Ferguson, boot and shoe manufac turers, Bermondsey, New•road, and also with attempting to steal therefrom property to the amount of £lOO. From the evidence it appeared that Sergeant Peirce, 7 M, was on duty with 273 M about four o'clock on the morning of the 22d inst. at Bermondsey . New road, and as he was passing the house in question, he heard a match struck, which excited his suspicion, and he watched the premises. He saw the two prisoners come out, but Smithers perceiving him rushed back and closed the door of the house. Smithers had a large bundle on his shoulder. He effected an entrance into the premises with his brother constable, and near the back door they found three large bundles of boots and shoes packed up and ready to be con veyed away. Having searched the premises they found the two prisoners crouched up in the corner of a back room, and he picked up the jemmy now produced He investi gated the premises closely, and ascertained that an entrance had been made at the back part as some of the fastenings of the windows had been forced aside. The prosecutor was out of town at the time, hit one of them hal subsequently identified the property at the station-house. Mr. Lewis, jun., on behalf of the prisoners, contended that there was no ground for a conviction against his clients, as they were merely employed on the premises in removing the goods by the instructions of a gentleman who promised them a sovereign for their trouble, and stated that the prosecutors would have shortly to appear before the Bankruptcy Court. The prisoners were remanded for a week in order to enable the police to make inquiries respecting them. THAMES. ROBBERY BY A SERVANT GIRL.--THE BAD SPECI MENS FROM FEMALE REFORMATORIES.—Ann Jane Welch, a girl about 18 years of age was brought before Mr. Selfe charged with stealing three blankets, seven pillow cases, a shawl, various other articles of female :wearing apparel, a sovereign, 7s. or Bs. in silver, and other property and moneys. Mrs. Ellen Donovan, a young widow lady, residing with her sister at No. 3, Archer-terrace, Limehouse, stated that the prisoner was in her service for a fortnight only. She took her from a Reformatory School where she had been for five years. The prisoner was the third servant she had taken out of Reformatories, and they had all robbed her. Mr. Selfe—l am very sorry to hear such a bad account of reformatory girls. I have been given to understand they have turned out good servants in many instances. Mrs. Donovan proceeded to state that while taking a nap on the afternoon of the 19th inst. the prisoner absconded, taking with her a guinea she had given her to obtain a post-office order, 6s. or 7s. which was taken out of her pocket, a shawl, two chemises, a petticoat, three blankets and various other articles. John Owen, 305 K, said he apprehended the prisoner yesterday afternoon, and found in her box a portion of the stolen property. He then produced a large bundle contain ing various articles, which Mrs. Donovan identified as her property. CRIS7AL PALACE. Tho month of September opens well for the Crystal Palace. With an excess of visitors, two hundred thousand beyond any former year, it steadily advances in public esti mation, and up to the period of closing the International Exhibition, it will no doubt continue the some proressive increase which has marked the past two months. One cause for this is owing to the varied attractiOns pu; before the public. As these are always announced a week beforehand, visitors have their choice of the particular spe ciality most suited to their tastes. It is not to be inferred, that the peculiar and unrivalled attractions of the Crystal Palace proper, so to speak, are on the wane; on the con trary, the ad miration and gratification expressed by the thou sands of foreigners and strangers who visit it daily are un bounded, and as these return to their respective homes, they unquestionably add greatly to the permanent popularity of this thoroughly English institution. As, however, a little special attraction suits various tastes there isno doubt that the variety brought to bear on each week adds many to those who would visit Sydenham without any specialty beyond those comprised in the building and beautiful grounds. ' In the coming week, on Monday and Saturday, the whole of the Great Fountains will be played. These never fail to attract large numbers. On Monday Mr. coxwell will also make an ascent in his great balloon,which has acquired so much celebrity from its ascents with Mr. Glaisher, for the scientific objects connected with the British Association. Mr. Coxwell's late exhibitions at the Crystal Palace have done much to popularise pros- 1 tation, several hundreds of persons having availed themselves of the recent opportunities of ascending for a few hundred feet. As the car of this great balloon is of almost omnibus size, and will contain sixteen persons, it is really a very commodious affair, and it is not surprising that applications to accompany Mr. Coxwell in his aerial trips are becoming frequent as blackberries at this season of the year. Monday being likewise the day fixed for the excursions of the South London Foresters, the combined attractions will cause a large assemblage, The great Autumn Show of flowers and fruit will be held at the Palace on Wednesday and Thursday, the 3rd and 4th of September. The reputation the Crystal Palace has acquired for its great flower shows is well known. Being always under the roof of the Palace they are unaf fected by vicissitudes of weather. Those which have been already held during the present year have been unusually successful. That the present show may be no exception to the present popular rule which is being so successfully carried out, the charge for admis sion to the Palace on the days of the flower show will not be increased, but continue at the usual one shilling rate, and thus, all classes may have the opportunity of partici pating in the pleasure of these great displays. Blondin, whose popularity has evidently been immensely increased by the unhappy notoriety attaching to displays in imitation of his particular vocation, will walk the high rope over the fountains on Tuesday, and give one of his equally attrac tive, if not equally exciting, low rope exhibitions on the Friday. Commencing with the Ist of September, season tickets, admitting to the Palace up to the Ist of May, 1863, will be issued at half-a-guinea each. There is always a large sale of these tickets, which is not to be wondered at when it is known that they admit to all the varied attractions of the Palace for eight months. As the excursion rates by the various railways have been put at very low rates, during the period the International Exhibition remains open, to induce heads of large firms in the provinces to send their workmen and others to visit the International Exhibition, the directors of the Crystal Palace and the Brighton Railway have agreed to issue joint tickets for conveyance to and fro and for admission to the Palace at the lowest excursion rates, viz., one shilling, provided that the party belong to one firm, and are not less than one hundred in number. Hitherto this low rate has been confined to excursions of one thousand and upwards ; its extension so as to include the numerous smaller excur • sions now converging to London for the Exhibition, will enable many to enjoy a sight of the Crystal Palace and its world-wide attractions, at an almost nominal cost. On Tuesday, 9th September, the great Brass Band Con• test will be held at the Palace. Forty-nine of the principal . champion district bands of England have entered as corn • petitors for the prizes to be awarded. The effect of such a force of brass instruments, aided by a large staff of regi mental drummers and buglers, when combined in the great Handel Orchestra, must be heard to be believed. The con test will commence in the grounds of the Palace at ten o'clock. The combined bands will perform in the great Orchestra at three, at the conclusion of which, the selected bands will contest for the prizes, which will be afterwards presented to their respective winners in front of the Orches tra. Much interest is excited throughout the populous dis tricts to which these bands belong. During the month of August upwards of 400,000 persons entered the Palace, by far the larger proportion of whom it is estimated visited it for the first time. MARKETS---THIS DAY. COVENT GARDEN.

JOINT-STOCK BANKS. EXTENSIVE F 1 RES.-THIS DAY. About half-past 5 a.m. a fire of an alarming character and attended with a great loss of property, happened on the premises belonging to Mr. Edward Small, a cooper, carrying on business at No. 1, Camden-row, Camden town. Owing to so many buildings standings so close it was feared that the whole would have been levelled with the ground. An instant alarm was raise', and intelligence sent off to the Royal Society's escape stations, and also to the various engine depots of the London Brigade. In a very brief period four engines of the London Brigade, and the engines of the North Western Railway, as well as two of the Royal Society's escapes, were in attendance. When this force arrived the whole of Mr. Small's cooperage was found in a regular blaze, and the fire had seized upon the premises of Mr. Frimley, the coffeeshop keeper adjoining, and also of Mr. Hall's, the zinc plate worker. All present at once went to work, under the direction of Mr. Fogo, the acting superintendent during Captain ►Shaw's absence from London, and Engineer Parmer. Fortunately the supply of water was most abundant, but in spite of the exertions of the firemen the work of devastation continued, and it took a considerable time before the firemen and parish engineers could get the mastery over the flames, and not until Mr. Small's cooperage was burnt out and the roof destroyed. Two rooms on the ground floor of the premises of Mr. Frimley are also burnt out, and the roof and parlour severely burnt, and a great amount of damage has been done to to the property of Messrs. Hall and Binns, the zinc workers. The origin of the fire is enveloped in ob scurity. Fortunately, Mr. Small was insured in the West minster Fire-office, Mr. Frimley was insured in the Phoenix Office, and Messrs. Hall and Binns were also in sured in the same office. At an early hour in the morning a telegraph message was received by Mr. Henderson, the present acting superintendent of the D district of fire brigade, of a fire raging at Manor Farm, Lee, in Kent. That offi cer at once started to the scene with a couple of engines and a powerful body of firemen Upon reaching the spot they found that a large rick of hay, containing seventy waggon loads were enveloped in a broad sheet of flame. The property belonged to Mr. Cardwell, a farmer. The firemen went to work in a most praiseworthy manner, and at length succeeded, by working the engines from a pond, in getting the flames subdued. The damage, however, is very considerable. Mr. C. White, of the County Fire-office, where the property was insured, was early in attendance, and from his inspection, and that of the brigade, there is no doubt entertained that the fire arose from the spontaneous ignition of the hay. Another destructive confiaration took place in the pre mises belonging to Mr. W. T. Walters, a cabinetmaker situate at 8, Gloucester-street, Margaret-street, Hagger stone. The names commences in the workshops, which, owing to the highly inflamma)le nature of their contents, were quickly enveloped in a huge sheet of flame. The parish and brigade engines, under the lirection of Acting-Superin tendent Bridges and Engineer Barton, having arrived, and a good supply of water having been obtained, the fire was ultimately extinguished, but not until the workshops were burned down, and the contents consumed. The origin of the fire is also unknown, and i; could not be learned during the excitement which prevailed whether the sufferer was insured or not. Mr. Lynda Thomas ha, induced the War De partment to give him permission, at the cost of about £2, 000, to manufacture a gun of 16 tons' weight, on his principle, at tho goyal Arseaal, Woolwich.—Army and Navy Gazette.

Recently discovered in the Portuguese Language by Baron Kervyn de Lettenhove, mem ber of the Royal Academy of Belgium. The English translation by Leonard Francis Simpson, M.R.S.L. Longman and Co. This autobiography, the importance of which, in I an izistorieal point of view, needs no comment, is a brief an' simple narrative, by the Emperor, of the principa; avents which took place in his reign between 1516 and 1548, and is marked by a total absence of displ.a.v, either rhetorical or descriptive. That he wrote suet a work is clear from the testi mony of his secretary, William Van Male, who, in a letter addressed by him on July 17, 1550, to Sig neur de Preet, said, " In the leisnres of his naviga tion on the Rhine, the Emperor, having plenty of leisure time on hoard ship, undertook to write his journeys and expulitions from the year 1515 up to the present moment. The work is admirably polished and elegant, And the style attests great strength of mind and elnquence. Surely, I should not easily have imagined that the Emperor pos sessed such qualifications, as he has avowed to me himself that he was indebted for nothing to educa tion, and that he had racquired them entirely by his own meditations and labour. As regards the weight and value of the work, they consist especially in that fidelity and that gravity to which history owes its credit and its power." The work appears to have been completed, as ,oar as it goes, at Augs burg in 1551, after which the Emperor took up his residence at Inspruck, whence he was compelled to decamp precipitately during t.he night, lest he should fall into the hands of his et.'emies. " Under these grave circumstances, Charles V., threaten ed in his autbority and in his liberty, was cmlcerned about the fate reserved to his memoirs, in wl. ich he had explained the secrets of his policy, and judged the nults of the Protestant princes of Germany. He ( thought it prudent to intrust them to some devoted servant, who could take them to Spain beyond all I danger,and he added a fevr lines addressed to his son, in which he revealed to him the importance of this deposit, which was not to be opened until at an epoch, or on an eventuality which he meant to in dicate. In the midst of the alarms and emotions of Inspruck those lines remained incomplete ; but despite the French and Turkish galleys which were cruizing in the Mediterranean, the mission was faithfully executed, and the narrative dictated by Charles V. to Van Male was remitted (everything at least announces it) to the young Prince of Spain." The translation here given is not taken from the original manuscript, the existence of which at pre sent is problematical ; but from a Portuguese manu script in the Imperial Library at Paris, which bears the following title (translation) :—" The History of the Most Invincible Emperor Charles V., King of Spain, composed by his Imperial Majesty (or his Cesarean Majesty, as Brantome styles him), as is shown by the paper on the following page, trans lated from the French, and from the original at Madrid in 1620." Judging from intet nal evidence, we should say that Mr. Simpson's version gives a very fair idea of the original ; the style of which will be sufficiently indicated by the following ex tract from the commencement of the work : " After the death of King Philip, there were at intervals various wars in the States of Flanders, which we call the Netherlands. One of these wars was that undertaken by the Emperor Maximilian, in concert with King Henry of England, against Lou's, King of France. By the prudence as well as by the habitual bravery of the Emperor, the French were defeated whilst endeavouring to relieve Tero natio. After the capture of that city, siege was laid to Tourney, which shortly afterwards surrendered. The re sult was, that the Archduke Charles, grandson of the Em peror, proceeded to Tourney, which was then in the hands of King Henry, and to Lille, where he had his first inter view with the same King, and where, amongst other things, his emancipation was discussed and resolved upon This took place in the year 1515, during which he was im mediately recognised as Lord of the said States of Flanders. Shortly afterwards the same Archduke sent ambassadors to King Francis of France, who at the same period had inhe rited that kingdom, on the death of King Loais. These ambassadors negotiated and concluded peace. In the same Fear his Majesty visited a portion of the States of Flan• ders, and whilst making the visit, there arrived at the Hague, in Holland, M. de Vendome, sent by the King of France to ratify that peace. That portion of his States which he had not time to visit this year, was visited by him in the following year, 1516, and he held his first Chapter of the Order of the Golden Fleece at Brussels. This was the year of the death of the Catholic King; and, dating from that moment, the Archduke assumed the title of King." 711 E NAVY. The new paddlewheel despatch vessel Psyche, 835 tons and 250-horse power, commissioned on Tuesday by Master Commander Petley, yesterday arrived at Greenhithe, to form a portion of the Royal squadron about to escort the Queen and the junior portion of the Royal family to Antwerp. The Victoria and Albert and the Osborne, having embarked the Royal family, will proceed to the Downs, where they will make fast for the night, and the remainder of the squadron will steam at slackened speed across the Channel and await their arrival. Admiralty instructions to be ob ' served, in order to enforce the strictest privacy, were yesterday issued at Woolwich, ordering a total exclusion of all visitors from the dockyard on Monday after 12 o'clock until the Queen's departure, not excepting officers in uniform. Sir Richard llacres and his staff and Viscount Sydney, Lord- Lieutenant of the county, are alone to be granted admission, and the departments of the yard will suspend operations during the after part of the day to insure the strictest possible privacy on her Ma jesty's arrival. The baggage and Royal carriages will be despatched to Woolwich at an early hour on Monday, and will be hoisted on board the Black Eagle by means of the hydraulic machinery at the Royal Arsenal T Pier, and all official attendance of the authorities will be dispensed with. The Black Prince iron frigate, Capt. J. F. B. Wainwright, was undocked at Portsmouth yester day, and anchored at Spithead, in readiness to re sume her trial of speed at full boiler power at noon to-day. When in dock, on the water being pumped out, her bottom was found to be very foul in places, to an extent which probably caused her the loss of nearly a knot per hour in speed. To-day she re sumes her trial with a clean bottom, and the load weight on her safety-valve increased to an equality with that on the valve of the Warrior at her trial. The Amethyst, 26, the Iris, 26, and the Diamond, 27, belonging to the sailing reserve fleet at Chat ham, have been placed at the disposal of the Em peror of China, in order that one of those vessels maybe purchased from the Admiralty, for use as a storeship for the steam flotilla about to be furmed to operate in the Chinese waters. During yesterday and the previous day upwards of 100 tons of armour-plates for encasing the sides of the iron-clad frigate Royal Oak 50, were landed at Chatham dockyard from the Thames Ironworks. The plates are all 41 inches in thickness, and of an average weight of 80 cwt. each. Before being affixed to the vessel's sides, they will be submitted to a rigid inspection, in order that any fl aw may be detected. The Italian frigate Eurydice, 26 gu ns , Captain instruction, Ribotty, from Genoa on a cruise, as au ship, arrived at Falm outh on Wednesday evening, and on Thursday mor nin g exchanged salutes with her Majesty's ship Russell, 60, cot. Hall, the Coast guard ship at that port. Mr. Griffiths, under w bese superintendence the various vessels of war selected by the Admiralty to be covered with Muntz's patent metal are being operated upon, attended at Chatham dock yard yesterday for the purpose of making the necessary arrangements for coating the Royal Oak with that metal, which is also to be fixed on the bottom of all the iron-built ships. The reports re ce i ve d from the Bombay, 80, and the Arethusa, -50, both of which vessels were coated with the patent metal before quitting Chatham, being highly favourable as regards the wear of the new metal, have induced the Admiralty to direct it being ap plied to several other vessels now building. It is probable that it will be generally used in the n avy, ' thus superseding the present copper sheathiefr-day The following appointments were made aster, to at the Admiralty :—John R. Ryan, p ay Alcock, Daniel Braddo n, the Indus, for the Leop ard; Assist.-Surg., to the Resistanweek• e ; Thos. Summers, Aafist.-Paymaster, to the Ha engineer,. to remain additional to the Asia; John Rice, Ist, class assist.-engineer, to the Asia, for Psyche ; Alfred Smith, Ist class assist.-engineer, to the Asia, .for Psi the ; George Edwards, acting 2d class engineer, to Asia, for Psyche ; W. W. Web ber, tat class assist,-engineer, to Asia, for Swinger;, Archibald Gillies, engineer, to Dasher; Alfred Wood, Ist class assist.-engineer, to Severn, for transfer to Pantaloon, when commissioned ; Alex. Wilson, 2d class assist.-engineer, to Severn, for transport to Pantaloon, when commissioned ; A. Moreton, 2d class engineer, to Indus, as supernu merary. 7HE ARMY. Three companies of her Majesty's regiment the Buffs, in command of Capts. Stewart, Cox., and Anley, went down to Woolwich from the Tower on Thursday, and are quartered in the Royal Artillery Barracks. The Buffs yesterday commenced the sentry and other duties of the garrison and relieved the Royal Marines in Arsenal. The 25th company of Royal Engineers, which has been doing duty at the Cape of Good Hope for a period of seven years past, will shortly return to head-quarters, Chatham, its period of service having expired. The next company on the rota for foreign service is the 22d, which, according t o present arrangements, will proceed to China, orders having been received at head-quarters for the officers and men to hold themselves in readiness to embark for that destination. A detachment of Royal Engineers will shortly be despatched from head-quarters, Chatham, to New Zealand, for the purpose of being employed in engineering and surveying duties, and of relieving the Royal Engineers, who have been for some time past stationed at that colony. THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, SIX O'CLOCK. SPAIN. The Madrid Constitutional of the 25th states that the attempt to get up a demonstration against the Government had utterly failed. In the popu lar quarters, however, some excitement was occa sioned in the night of the 26th by the explosion of large squibs—evidently a humble imitation of the bombs made use of in Italy 1)27 the " party of action," to keep public attention an the qui wive. THE HARVEST. The weather having been highly favaurable during the past week., harvest work has made great progress in the eastern district. The red wheats will, it is expected, prove quite an average, and barley, where uncut, has improved in appearance since the rains which fell a week or two si nee. The defici ency in the wheat appears to be confine& to the Talave ras, and on the whole matters have a decidedly more chee rfuL aspect. TAXES UPON ENJOYMENTS.—The tax upon eaTis and dice produced £13,637 last year; it has been rather a declining tax for the last two years. 'Me tax upon arm o riel beatings brought in 175,010; 10 years ago it produc ed £70,000. The tax upon hair powder is constantly fedi ng off: it is now down to £1,116, and we may soon find t hat all is lost. Racehorses are improving, and produced £6. 957 last year. Game col tificates and licences produced £140,.! being some thousands more than 10 years ago. Pat ent medicines, which 10 years ago contributed only £37,33 3 to the revenue, supplied £46,237 last year. Dogs, if they-1 nay here be added, were taxed £196,616 last year. The d.Dgs of Ireland enjoy an exemption from taxation, but not for their own merit, fur a recent return showed t hat large nut ulacrs of sheep are worried and killed by them.

MARVELLOUS AFFAIR.—Some of the Paris jour nals relate the following extraordinary history :—About a dozen years ago a man, rather shabbily dressed, but blaring an air of distinction, entered a raj. of modest appearance the Faubourg St. Germain, and asked for a cup of coffee and a roll. This he swallowed rapidly a. if pressed by extreme hunger, and then slowly retired, without, however, seeming to avoid the demand for payment. The waiter, stupificd , hastened to inform his mistress, a widow burdened with a fimily, but a kind-hearted woman, of what had taken place. The latter, who had observed the air of dejection of the stranger, immediately replied, "It is all right, I know the gentleman." The next day the stranger returned, asked for the same things, and retired in the same manner with out paying. This continued for about two months, after which he was seen no more. About a month ago the widow was invited to call upon a notary to receive a sum of money which had been left to her by will. She could not believe her good fortune, and thought there must be so:ne mistake, when the notary afforded her an explanation by roading the following extract from a will which he held in his hand :-- " I bequeath 60,000 f. to the widow , proprietress of a cafe (giving the address) to thank her for giving me a breakfast every day for two months, without demanding payment, which it was then impossible for me to make. was then in misery, but since, fortune having smiled on. me, it is only just that I should pay for the 60 breakfasts. to which I owed my life." " My dear," said a gentleman to a young lady whom he was per: ecuting with his addresses, " do you in tend to make a fool of me ?" " No," replied the offended lady, " nature has happily saved me the trouble." INVENTIONS IN LlTTLE.—Neglected and hidden, and wholly unappreciated, what in pity's name are these poor little fabrics of tin and wood which we light upon in a very obscure corner of the Italian department ? Little sorry' wares these, made up of odds and ends of wood and smal scraps of tin and fashioned in the roughest way. They look as if they were made by some workman at his spare moments. Perhaps they were. Perhaps his wife and children watched their progress and thought London must be electrified when these inventions were displayed before it. They are, it seems, small models of certain inventions designed to be made on a larger scale for the benefit of hu manity. Let us read the inscriptions upon them. One i s the " model of an instrument for smoothing muddi roads with great speed and economy." Another is " a mechanis that can be applied to different motory contrivances as re quiring a rotary movement at various distances and in va rious directions" I Here, too, is " a machine for thrusting the grain out of the ears of Indian corn," and also "a ma chine for an economical and speedy removal of snow from the public streets, leaving but a thin layer of it"—this sounds slippery " easily swept away." There is some thing very pitiful and affecting about these innocent little models, with their inscriptions in broken English. Thero they lie in an unknown corner, unseen, neglected, like many another object in this mighty show, which was ex pected by the maker of it, and by his friends, to make an immense sensation. Nevermind ; this honest engineer of Pavia may be in the right road, for aught we know, and may some day construct a " mechanist" which w ill not only smooth the muddi roads" of England, but smooth his own rough ruad to eminence and fortune.—Diekenes." All the Year Round." PARISH 1300 K-KEEPING.----Of about eleven thou sand parish;: registers now in existence, there are eight hundred which begin in fifteen hundred and thirty eight; forty of these contain entries prior to that date; four thousand have their first entries within the sixteenth century. As to the early dates, many of the registers (kept sometimes by negligent incumbents) are defec tive by reason of gaps, omissions, and other acts of care lessness. For example, the clergyman of Tunstall, in Kent, was annoyed by the number of persons with a particular name—Pottman—among his parishioners. In one year he christened three Pottmans by the name of Mary, and soon afterwards, in fifteen 'sixty seven, the disgusted parson cooly writes in the register " From henrforward I omitt the Pottmans." In another parish, a clerk who was a grocer took waste paper for the wisrpings of his groceries, out of the parish registers, and_ so ,tablished some considerable gaps ; other registers had leaves torn out by parliamentary soldiers during wars ; the register of Torpoley, wars a breach of five years " hapned by reason an of d slaughtering obliterating Memorials, wasting fortunes, the the c h ; o er k being app li e d to persons of all sorts."
