MO \EY Al A RKILT. CITY NEWS YESTERDAY. The Challenger has arrived from China with 749 ,6451b5. of tea and 871 bales of silk, and the Moneta with 702,6281b5. of tea, and 154 bales of silk. Mr. James McCormick was to-day appointed agent for Lloyd's at Areceivo, Porto Rico. The rates for loans on the more speculative kinds of foreign stocks this afternoon varied from 3 to 6 per cent. per annum, according to the nature of the security. There were no operations in gold at the Bank. The £41,500 Australian by the Roxburgh Castle and Moiavian reached London to-day, and will at "ea be sent abroad in payment for silver. The Aloe, from Melbourne, has arrived with I:81,000 ha gold. The Bombay exchange just telegraphed shows a tendency against this country. The remittances of silver to that port may therefore be expected to con tinue on a very large scale. The latest New York telegrams quote the ex change on London at 1431, showing little alteration, and the premium on gold of 30 per cent., being slightly lower than by the previous arrival. CITY NEWS---THIS DAY. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Money Market continues quiet, and the rates remain without alteration.

On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about the same price in London and Paris. 11Y advices fr.)m Hamburg the price of gold is 425 i per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13.4 ft per £1 sterling. tandard gold at the English Mirt price is, therefore, at about 3-10ths per cent. dearer in Hamburg than in London 60 the course of exchange at New York on London for bills at giZlit Is 146 to 117 per cent., a nd the premium on gol ;7' about 33 p er cen t. At these rates the re is a profit on the importation of gold from the United States. OUR TICKET -OF LEAVE MEN.—The class of ticket-of-leave men i s a b road, and the universal terror o f them is so strong th at, as all sensible men are say i ng , something must be done to remedy the intolerable evils of our present system—the sense of insecurity in which we are living on their account, and the injustice with which a large class is treated by us, for the crimes of a very small proportion of their number. All men and women who come out of prison - whatever their offence, and whatever may be their state of mind and character —are feared and hated as much as the desperadoes who are improperly at large. By this injustice and cruelty we are perpetually in creasing the amount of crime in the country ; f or we allow no ch nce in life to persons who have once offended; and, as t, our own sufferings from the sense of insecurity of per son and property, we know it too well to need any descrip tion of it here.—Once a Week. The Russian journals speak in eulogistic terms of a young man, named Kebatchi, a porkbutcher at Sim•. pheropol, who has shown a great natural aptitude for mechanics, and especially for clockmaking, which he has acquired alone, He has just repaired gratis the great clock of the cathedral of Simpheropol out of repair during the last ten years, and for which the regular clockmakers had demanded a considerable sum.

The sister of the petitioner said—On the 29th of April, 1859, I went, in company with the petitioner, to No. 5, Townley , street, Ramsgate, in consequence of Mr. Smith deserting his wife. Mr. Pritchard, the superintendent of the police, was with us. We went up to a bedroom in the house and knocked at the door, when I heard Smith say, " Who's there." The landlord told him the superintendent of police wished to see him. After some further conversa tion the door was opened, when we all went in and found Smith in his shirt, and a woman named Weller was in bed. I told him to give his wife some money to get back to Oxford with, as he knew very well he had left her Frith but a few shillings. Mrs. Smith took up Smith's trowsers, and took a roll of bank notes from one of the pockets, and as she was handing them over to the supe rintendent of police, Smith said he should not have them. Having seen the state Smith was living in, we left the place. Thomas Neal, of the Ramsgate police force, residing at 5, Townley street, said—l remember a lady and gentleman coining to live at my house in 1859. They passed as man and wife. On the 15th of May Mrs. Smith, her sister, and Mr. Pritchard came. We went upstairs. I knocked at the bedroom, door, when Smith asked what was wanted. I told them the superintendent of police. Smith asked whether it would not do in the morning, but we said " No," and he then opened the door.

I saw him at Ramsgate, and since that I have received two notes from him 14 or 15 months after, both of which I have destroyed. I have also seen him twice, once at Mr. William's, St. Giles, Oxford, and after that at the workhouse, when he came on business respecting his accounts with the guardians. A now master was appointed 13 weeks after my husband left. I don't know where he has been living since April, 1859. Decree nisi granted with costs.

CURIOUS APPLICATION.—A respectable-looking female, named Anne Larrard, applied to Mr. Knox for his advice under the following circumstances : The applicant said she had been burnt out of her house, No. 50, Marshall-street, at a quarter past four that morn ing (the whole of the inmates being rescued with the aid of the fire.escapes and the police), and as she was not insured, she wished to know, having been informed to the contrary, whether, as she was not insured, she could go into the place and remove what things had not been destroyed ? Mr. Knox informed the applicant that she could cer tainly take the things. If they had been destroyed, not being insured, she could not obtain compensation, and therefore she was entitled to them. The applicant thanked the magistrate for his advice. ROBBING FELLOW- WORKMEN. BAD CASE.:.—LOUiI Jouarnot, a Frenchman, was charged with the following robberies:— It appears that the prisoner lodged at the house of Mr. Robert Elgar, bootmaker, of 57, Charlotte-street, with another bootmaker, and that he got up before his fellow lodger and carried off in a bag a pair of trousers and other articles belonging to Thomas Setterfield, some property of Mr. Elgar, a quantity of boot uppers and other articles, the property of Daniel Nash, and some boot uppers, &c., be longing to another workman named Simmonds. The prisoner was committed for trial.

COTTERILL. This was a petition presented by the wife for dissolution on the grcund of adultery and cruelty. The respondent denied the allegations, and pled that the wife deserted him. Mr. Charles Edward Butler proved the marriage, which took place in Dec., 1853. Mary Ann Cotterill, the petitioner, said—l was living in Wells-street, Birmingham, in 1859. My husband treated me very unkindly. He was very dissipated, and he used often to strike me. On one occasion he threw a small table at me, but his ill-usage was so frequent that I cannot recollect any particular instance. I never used to speak to him when he returned home at night. When we were living in Hampton-street, after this, he attempted to take the wedding-ring off my finger, giving no reason for so doing. I resisted, of course, and he then struck me on the head while. I was in bed. Elizabeth Jones, the servant, came into the room, and he then became more quiet. We used to have frequent struggles for the possession of the wedding-ring, but he never succeeded in getting it. He used to pull my hair down in a most violent manner, and he used to throw the pillows at me. The Judge Ordinary—But that d'd not hurt you? Witness—He used to strike me as well. One night he became so violent that I had to leave the bedroom. In February, 1860, he ordered me to go to sleep in the attic, but I refused to do so. In April of the same year, when Mrs. Ryder was in the house, he quarrelled with me about some ducks which were in a basket. I asked him not to put theta on the table, but he took hold of nay hair, and taking up a pair of scissors was about to cut my hair off, when Mrs. Ryder took the scissors from him. This was on the 13th April, ant I left him on the 16th, and then went to live with my mother. She was stopping with us some time be fore this. My husband on one occasion said he would kill her, and took up the poker to do so. I attempted to prevent him getting into her apartment, when h e pulled me round the room by my hair. I saw my husband early in the morn ing of the day I left him. I did not speak to him. Cross-examined—Between the 13th and 16th of April we slept together, but by husband never took his meals at home. My mother came to live in our house immediately after our marriage. She continued to do so until six weeks before the separation. She used, at times, to be very un friendly with my husband. Elizabeth Johns said the conduct of Mr. Cotterill towards his wife was violent and brutish. She frequently had to go to her assistance, when she generally found Mr. Cotterill holding her by tilt: hair and striking her. Mrs. Ryder corroborated the evidence of the petitioner with respect to the attempt of the respondent to cut Mrs. Cotterill's hair. Francis Arthur said he had seen the respondent take women to certain houses in Chapel-street, Birmingham, which he had pointed out to a person named Alexander. Stamford Alexander, superintendent of police at Bir mingham, said the houses referred to by the last witness were common brothels. The one in Chapel-street was pro fessedly a coffee-shop, but it ‘.as a place of resort for pro stitutes and thieves of the lowest description. The counsel for the respondent, in addressing the Court, said one circumstance was of great importance to the pre sent case, viz,, he had never made any mark on the peti- ioner during his alleged ill-usage. The Judge Ordinary said he thought that was assuming 'too much. A /Sere= might be struck violently on the head without the effects of the blow being visible. There was no rule of court that a man might beat his wife on the head provided he did not raise a bump. The learned counsel then went on to contend that the three nights' cohabitation after the last act of ill usage con doned the charges brought against his client. The Judge Ordinary said he was quite satisfied that a case of very gross cruelty had been proved against the re spondent. He did not think there was the slightest act of condonation on the part of the petitioner. He was also of opinion that the charge of adultery had also been made out. The issuing of the decree was suspended for a fortnight to settle some questions relative to property. SHERIFFS' QOURT. (Before Mr. Kerr.) LIABILITIES OF. DIRECTORS FOR PUBLIC COMPANIES. — IMPORTANT DE CISION. - --MACKINTOSH V. REES (FAMILY LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY.) This was an action to recover for 3,000 policies, plaintiff being a printer. Plaintiff's clerk put in an order, headed "Family Life Assurance Society," and signed by the chairman and de fendant, who was then one of the committee. Mr. Buchanan urged for defendant that his client could not be held liable, but that plaintiff must sue the secretary or registered officer of the company. His Honour remarked that defendant had signed the order as a director of the Family Life Assurance Company, but defendant handed up a book of rules, from which it appeared that the society was entitled "The Family Sick Fund Friendly Society," and in a second b ook there was a third name. It appears to me that Mr. Mackintosh gave credit to the directors, of the Family Life Assurance Society. Mr. Buchanan —Perhaps plaintiff will tell us how the policies were headed ? Plaintiff's clerk—The Family Sick Fund Friendly Society, Defendant—lt is not a corporation, nor is it a joint stock affair. I have ceased to be a director, and if plaintiff sues the registered officer he will be paid, as there is plenty of money. Mr. Tidd Pratt says lam not liable. His Honour-1 he plaintiff sues you as the director of the Family Life Assurance Company, and in that form I am of opinion that he is entitled to recover ; but the defen dant has his remedy against the society. Verdict for the plaintiff, and costs. SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO ONE OP THE BAILIFFS. A very serious accident occurred last evening to Mr. Overall, one ot the bailiffs of this court, who, whils pursu ing, his avocations, slipped from the pavement, and being unable to rise, was taken to St. 'Bartholomews Hospital, where he now lies. Mr. Kerr proceeded there this morning to swear the sufferer as to the service of certain processes, and, upon inquiry, it was found that one of the small leg bones was broken. THE ALABAMA AGAIN.—The ship Granite State, which arrived at Liverpool from New York yesterday, re ports that about the 23d ult., in lat. 40.30, long. 56, she saw the Confederate steamer Alabama lying to, hull down, to the westward. The Alabama bore down upon her, when the Granite State, which was under single reefs, shook them out and hoisted maintlpgallant. The weather was very squally from N.W. Towards dark the Alabama took in her topsails, and lay to under fere and aft sails. During the chase she gained rapidly on the Granite State. LORD SEYMOUR'S WILL—The Imperial Court has just heard an appeal from a judgment of the Civil Tri bunal in an action brought by Miss Ellen Minchin against the executors of the late Lord Seymour. It appeared from the evidence produced on the first trial that after Lord Seyinour's decease two wills were found among his papers, one dated 17th December, 1855, in which he bequeathed to Miss Minchin the sum of 25,000 fr., and another dated 22d Juno, 1858, in which he bequeathed to her the sum of 600,000 fr., part of which was directed to be devoted to the purchase of an inalienable life annuity ; the testator further bequeathed to her an income of 1 0,000 fr. a year so long as I 7 and in case of her death or s h e should remain unmarried m arriage the princ i p al was t o go to the London Lunatic Asy l um , All the testator's remaining property was to be divided equally between the hospitals of Paris and London. To this will was a pp ended a co dicil revoking all bequests ' made in wills, dated before the 22d June, 1858, but this codicil, not being signed, was invalid according to the laws 1 the legacy of f proceedings eyrnou r ' s executors to recover of 25,000 1 r male by th e will of December, 1855, against Lord but the Civil Tribunal rejected the demand on the ground that it was evident from the di spositions of the will of June, 1658, and the im p erfect codicil annexed, that Lord Sey mour intended to annul the leg acy of 25,000 fr., but by the same judgment the tribunal decreed that the executors were to pay the 10,000 fr. annul st the testator's death. Agai y n ; that it mu st be con fi rmed, with interest from the date of Judgment Miss Minchin no w appealed, b ut the Court, after hearing counsel, declared THAMES. ROBBERY ON TOWER-TALL.—John Long, a well known thief, was brought bdore Mr. Woolrych, charged with stealing a silver watch from a sailor named Charles Ingram, on Tower-hill. Yesterday afternoon, the prosecutor and a shipmate named Vim. Good were passing over Tower-hill, and saw a large number of persons assembled around a man, who was exhibiting a monkey. The sailors crossed the road to witness the antics of the monkey, and were very shortly surrounded by the thieves who congregate on the hill. An attempt was made to steal Good's watch. He kept his hand upon it and preserved it, and at the same time called to Ingram, " Look out, Charley. for your watch." Tho prisoner at that moment passed behind Good, and drew Ingram's watch out of his pocket, broke the swivel and detached it from the chain. The fellow ran away with the watch and was instantly pursued by the two sailors and others. Being closely pressed he threw the watch under a cart. A young man named Henry Williams picked up the watch. It was full of mud, and while Williams was looking about for the owner he was collared by a bystander, who believed he was acting in con cert with the thief. His innocence, however, was quite clear. The prisoner ran some distance with many persons behind him vociferously bawling, " Stop thief." He was caught by a police-constable named John Panter 196 H. The prisoner said he was quite innocent of the robbery. Panter—He has given a false address. The prisoner—Why, you see I don't want them common newspapers to publish where I live, because if they do others may come down upon me. Mr. Woolrych—lf you don't giva your right name and address I shall consider that very suspicious. The prisoner—You see, my father's name was Nutt, and my mother's name is Long, but I did not tell the policeman that, because 1 dont want them common newspapers to say anything about that. A policeman said the prisoner had been in custody at that oourt before. The prisoner —Only on suspicion. Mr. Woolryeh There is no doubt you stole the sailor's watch, and I shall remand you for inquiries until Saturday next. THE CONDEMNED MURDERERS. An answer has been received from the Secretary of State for the Home Department to the memorial forwarded by the Messrs. Lewis, of Ely-place, on behalf of the con demned convict Gardener. The:letter is to the effect that no sufficient grounds have been shown to justify the Home Secretary interfering with the due execution of the With respect to Cooper, all attempts to obtain a remis sion of the sentence of death have, up to the present time, proved of no avail.

EXTRAORDINARY CONDUC7 OF A MERCHANT CAPTAIN. On Tuesday t' ere was a sitting of the Bristol Local Marine Board, at their offices in Prince's-street, to investi gate a singular charge against a mcrchant captain, a fey: particulars of which we have already placed More our readers. The members of the committee present were Mr. R. P. King, in the chair, Mr. Whitwill, Mr. Lucas, and Mr. R. Rowe. Mr. H. Brittan acted as legal assistant. The charge was preferred by Messrs. T. Beynon and Co., of Newport, against Captain Henry Mathias, and was to the effect that he, being the master of the barque Usk, of New port, on an intended voyage from Newport to Caldera, in the Brazils, was, when the vessel had arrived off Cape Horn, guilty of a gross act of misconduct, in having, without proper or sufficient cause or reason, neglected or omitted further to proceed on the said voyage, and navigated the vessel back to Newport. Captain Mathias promised to deliver up his certificate to abide the result of the inquiry, which was then proceeded with. He had no legal assistance, and said he wanted none, but would conduct his own case. 'When asked, after hearing the evidence against him, if he desired time to pre pare his defence, he replied in the negative, and expressed his desire to enter upon it at once. He conducted his defence and delivered his address in a cool and intelligent manner. The case having been proved, the captain proceeded to address thecommittee on his own behalf. He spoke of the heavy weather that prevailed, and of the confidence and comfort he felt, nevertheless, up to a certain time. He then went on to say that he had been a professor of religion for 17 years, and made it a practice about ten in the morning to read a chapter and then to enter his service to his Creator. After that had passed ono day he felt a pressure on his mind that he had not ever before felt, and he asked himself what this could mean, for he had generally felt light and comfortable under all circumstances in life—in fact there had only been one or two peculiar circumstances in his life, though he had been at sea for 32 years. He repeated that he began to inquire what was the meaning of this pressure, and he thought he would go and make a point of prayer of it, and be did so, when he found that a small still voice spoke within to return to Newport with the ship, but he strove within him most firmly against it. The more he strove, however, the worse it resisted him, and he found the power to be so strong that it was irresistible. He remained in that state. He did not make known the state of his mind to a soul in the ship. No one in that ship knew his mind or feelings or tvlything concerning him, but if the truth were properly spoken by each individual on board that ship that power must be known by every person. He remained until the afternoon and began to consider " What did it mean ?" for the same still voice spoke audibly and distinctly within him, "Excepting I would give up my purpose that He would break me without remedy." Visions he saw none ; he saw no bodily shape. He saw nothing but his own feelings, the same as any other Christian man would see. As he had told Captain Beynon, so he (Captain Mathias) would now tell the board, that with regard to returning home he said within himself " Well, 1 should like to have a sign to know for certain that I may not be deceiNed in my own heart, and deceive my own self in the presence of my Creator," and that voice spoke to him again, and told him " That the glass should rise immediately if I would do, and be obedient to the command given to me." He (Captain Mathias) implored the Divine compassion to allow him to remain till the Sun day morning daylight, as the storm was terrific, and he held that the vessel would suffer less lying in a tropical sea than running before such a storm—it was terrific. He could not sleep or rest, and no doubt the mate and the men in the cabin must have known that there was something in the expression of his countenance that was never seen there before. As it required so much to change that will of his (the captain's), which Wt's so determined to accomplish that voyage; that lie had on :two occasions commenced, he would leave them to judge what it must be to change the wilts and minds of men. Eight days he suffered, and on the ninth day he felt more easy. He turned the ship at his own private will. No other person had any connection or anything to do with the ship, and he had not made known his desire or anything of the kind. He had told the mate he might take the respon sibility of the ship, but he had never applied or aimed to take the ship from him ; neither the mate nor the men, nor anyone in the ship, aftor he gave the order to square the yards and alter the vessel's course, disobeyed his orders. Everything had, been carried out according to the orders he had given ; there was a very favourable wind, and he de tected the hand of Providence in the voyage home. He had _ _ _ foretold the time when his ship would be in dock, though h• did not know that there would he a pilot, and the weather was bad. Yet everything came as he had foretold. He be lieved the men and officers saw everything transacted in a manner they could not account for, but he could see it and under- tood it. He had given his evidence from first to last as he had given it to Mr. Beynon. He (Captain Mathias) was desirous of impressing on the gentlemen not to think he had seen any form in a bodily shape, or any vision, or anything of the kind. Let that be banished. He had known nothing but a Christian experimental feeling. That still small voice had spoken to him audibly, He had had the hand of God pressing him sorely previous to the voice speaking to him. Mr. Brittan—Do you want to call any witnesses, captain ? Captain Matthias replied in the negative, and said no ono was capable of knowing, The witness existed between God and himself. He stood 'entirely on his own responsibility. His responsibility ran thus—to suffer whatever the law and whatever man could place upon him. He Etood as a being to suffer, and he would suffer whatever the law or anything could force on him. He would stand and suffer for it what- ever it might be, at any moment or at any time. The court was cleared for the deliberation of the commit tee, and after a short interval, upon its being re-opened, The Chairman said—We have come to our decision in this painful case, and Mr. Britten will now read it. Mr. Brittan read the following :—"That this board do re port to the Board of Trade as follows :—" That Capt. Henry Mathias, Late master of the barque Usk, of Newport, on a voyage of that vessel from Newport to Caldera, which voyage commenced on or about the Ist day of June last, did, when the said vessel had arrived off or near Cape Horn, whilst under a mental delusion, and without any proper or sufficient cause or reason, instead of proceeding on the said voyage, put the said vessel back and return with her to Newport aforesaid ; and that this board considers Cap tain Mathias to be still labouring under such delusion, and incompetent to take charge or act as master of any ship or vessel, and this board doth, therefore, cancel the certificate of the said Captain Mathias." Captain Mathias promised to give up his certificate forth with. _EXTRAORDINARY ATTEMPT A 7 ABDUCTION. On Saturday morning the village of Kinlough, con nty Limerick, was thrown into a state of great excitement, in consequence of a number of young men (ten in all) being escorted, handcuffed, on cars into thelvillage, and conducted to the barrack by two parties of police from Kinlough and Tawley police-stations, on two distinct charges of at tempted abduction and burglary on the preceding night. It appears that on Friday night (All Hallow Eve), a party of ten young men assembled at the house of Mr. Robert Likely, the celebrated old sportsman of Gurteen, Ballin trillick, and after being plentifully supplied with good cheer, all preliminaries for the abduction of a certain young woman were twanged. The entire party, consisting of James Likely, the" would-be bridegroom, his brother Henry, and the boy Roger, together with the accomplices , all beings well armed, set off on cars at about eight o'clock p.m., and never halted until they arrived at the village of Boiney, situated on the north-western side of Lough Melvin, and about four miles from Kinlough, in the county Leitrim. On their arrival at this village (at about ten p.m.) all the party alighted, left the horses and cars to the care of a few of their numbe r, while the rest proceeded in the direction :of the residence of Mr. John Coulter ; but on their way thither three or four of the party, who were strangers in that locality,t went into a house, occupied by Mr. Coulter's herd, for he purpose of lighting their pipes, where they observed aknot f of young girls seated round the fire burning nuts, one whomofn thatwas no less a personage than the very Likely and his gang were in searchhoof;yabuunt,gfortunately for party.

THE DRAIN OF BULLION. Owing to the Indian absortion the present drain of bullion has been of a more extensive and pro tracted character than any that has bean witneaeed since the panic of 1857. With two slight excep tions it has now gone on uninterruptedly for 14 weeks, until a total diminution has been sustained of £ 3 ,022,633, which may probably be further ex tended by the return to be published this evening. The last previous outflow of any consequence was in 1860, when there was a falling off, during eight consecutive weeks, and an aggregate reduction almost precisely similar to that just witnessed, which led to an advance of the rate of discount from 4to 6 per cent. In the period which preceded, the panic of 1857 the drain was uninterrupted for 18 weeks, or four weeks longer than has yet bean witnessed in the present instance, and the total re - duetion sustained was X 4,576,980, while the I ate of discount was carried prom 51- to 10 per cant. Thera were two important differences, however, between those occasions and the present—namely, that the stock of bullion held by the Bank at the date of the commencement of each decline was much be low that whieh was held when the downward movement commenced in July last, and that the reduction in the reserve of notes coincident with that of bullion was much more nearly equal. Since July the falling off in the reserve has been only L 2,040,695, against £3,022,633 in the bullion while in the drain of 1860 the bullion and the Reserve decline nearly together, and in 1857 the action was greater upon the Reserve even than upon the bullion, the former showing a reduction of £4,729,780 against L 4,576,980 in the latter. These circimstances,which were attributable to the more active state of the commercial demand for discount at those dates, afford an explanation of the Bank having at this time found it necessary to raise, their rate only from 2 to 3 per cent. It is plain, however, not only that there is a fair avenge ex tent cif business now going on throughout the united. kingdom, but a tendency to an increase from the steady influx of raw material. Still, as we are abundantly supplied with grain, and even now hold an amount of cotton which, calculated at existing quotations, would represent a total value not very different from the value of the stock usually held in ordim-ry periods, there would apparently be no great reason to expect any further or rapid upward move ment in the terms of the Bank if there were any symptom of a probable pause in the remittances now being made to the East. Reckoning the X 500,000 of bills drawn by the India Council, we seem at pre sent to be transmitting to India at the rate of about three millions sterling per month, and pending the uncertainty as to the point to which these opera tions will extend, all calculations regarding the future of the mo ne y- mar k et must be varae. Enough, how e v er , w ill b e apparent to everyob server to indioate a necessity for the exercise of caution. 7flE NAVY. The screw steam frigate Phoebe, 51, Capt. Pot , tescue, left Plymouth sound on Tuesday afternoon for the Mediterranean. Letters have been received at Plymouth from the gunvessel Lee, 5, Commander E. C. Symons, dated Whydah, Oct. 10, when all were well on board. It is reported at Plymouth that the crew of the screw steam frigate Emerald, 35, Capt. A. Cum ming, now at Osborne, are daily expecting orders to be paid off either at Portsmouth or Plymouth. She was put in commission in May, 1859. The cause of the leakage in the screw steam cor vette Barossa, 21, Capt. W. M‘Dowell, referred to the The Sun of Saturday last, continues a mystery. After being thoroughly overhauled she was taken out of dock at Devonport on Saturday, and in all other respects will be ready for sea to-day, but the leakage continues. A commission of officers con nected with the steam reserve met on board on Tues day. It is now stated that while in ordinary at Sheerness she made an inch an hour. Some of the seamen say that when off Ushant she rolled heavily, but the shipwrights recently employed on her have not observed any signs of straining. Her armament consists of 16 8 inch guns, 4 Armstrongs, and one 100 pounder pivot ditto. Her engines cause much vibration. The defect is still attribute& to some thing wrong in the Kingston valves. 7 HE ARMY. A notification, signed by Major-General Sit E. Lugard, K.C.8., Under Secretary of State for War, has been received at Chatham garrison from the War-office, announcing that the payment of £3 3s to men re-enlisting in the infantry, and of £6 12s to men re-enlisting in the cavalry, as commutation in lieu of a free knit, will in future be discontinued, and the following will be the sums to be paid to men re-enlisting after the expiration of their first period of service, and who are provided with a com plete kit at the public expense :—Heavy cavalry, £3 12s Gd ; Hussars, £3 9s ; Lancers, £3 12s 6d ; Artillery, mounted, £3 lls ; Engineers, mounted, £3 12s; Military Traio, £3 4s ; Foot Ar tillery, £3 3s; Engineers, £3 2s 6d; Infantry of the Line, Rifle, and colonial regiments, excepting West India regim en t s , £2 ; Hi g hl an d reg i men t s I wearing trews, £1 12s; Highland regiments wear ing kilts, £2 9s; Commissariat Staff Corps, £2lBs ; West India regiments, £2. The War Department having decided on the erection of a reading room, library, and concert room, for the use of the non-commissioned officers and men of the Ist division of the Depot Brigade, Royal Artillery, the building has been commenced by Messrs. Naylar and Son, the Government con tractors. Yesterday afternoon Major-General C. C. Hay, Inspector-General of Musketry, commenced his pe riodical inspection of the corps undergoing their course of musketry instruction at Chatham garri son. The inspection will be continued to-day. DE QUINCE'', THE OPIUM-EATER. Mrs. Gordon, in her life of her father, Professor Wilson, gives the following sketch cf that singular man, Thomas de Quincey :—" I remember his coming to Gloucester-place one stormy night. He remained hour after hour in vain expecta tion that the waters would assuage and the hurly-burly cease. There was nothing for it but that our visitor should remain all night. The Professorordered a room to be prepared for him; and they found each other such good company that this accidental detention was prolonged, without further difficulty, for the greater part of a year, During this visit. some of his eccentricities did not escape observation. For example, he rarely appeared at the family meals, preferring to dine in his own room at his own hour, not unfrequently turning night into day. His tastes were very simple, though. a little troublesome, at least to the servant who prepared. histboi n s d r f e ri eo p tm a . s t. tThhe C el o oe ff ion e o e ,k , we o hleeod thehri a c md e a a at n en d r a m a si thatki e , n a e n oi d nwv a iat p rhi i a e bh c l e iym o f f od m r am u i ey t d received her instructions in silent awe, quite overpowered could cdoyuse?hey scarcely c h ut i a en v s gt e i s n p o s k ti e e n h w t i e t r h ams asr e d t e h f e e r s e e n : c — e by his mann er , f or h ad he been addressing a duchess he a O H i g o u t l o d my system, and the possibility of any additional disarrangement of the stomach taking place, con sequences incalculably di stressing would arise, so much so, indeed, as to increase nervous irritation, and prevent me from attending to matters of overwhelming importance, if you do not remember to cut the mutton in a diagonal rather than in a longitudinal form.' The cook—a Scotchwoman— had great reverence for Mr.De Quincey as a man of genius ; but, after one of those interviews her patience was pretty well exhausted, and she would say, Weel I never hard the like o' that i n a m y d a y s; th e bodie h as an awfu' sicht o' words. If it had been my ain master that was wanting his dinner, he would ha' ordered a hale tablefu' wi' little mair than a wauft o' his haun ; and here's a' this claver aboot a bit of mutton nae bigger than a prin. Mr. Do Quincey would make a gran' preacher, though I'm thinking, a hantle o' the folk wouldna ken what he was driving at. , But these little meals were not the only indulgences that, when not properly attended to, brought trouble to Mr. De r Quincey. Regularity in doses of opium was even . of consequence. An ounce of laudanum per diem pr o o g st r r e :_t r e e d .. animal life in the early part of the day.
