MONEY MARKET. CITY NE WS-YES TERD AY. The half-yearly interest is anncunced on the shares of the Riga•Dunaburg Railway Company. About 70,000 sovereigns were taken from the Bank to-day for transmission abroad, principally to Portugal, on account, it is stated, of the recent loan. There were no bullion operations. The Edinburgh, from New York, has brought £20,000 in specie. The telegrams received from Vienna of the Sth instant note a constant improvement in favour of Austria in the exchange on London, which has re ceded to 123.35. The Five per Cent. Metalliques are quoted at 72.20. A call of £5 per share is announced on the shares of the Bank of Hindustan, China, and Japan, pay able on or before the 4th November. CITY NEWS-THIS DAN. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Bank of England return completed to the Bth of October is of a less favourable character, par ticularly as regards the bullion, and the reserve of notes, which show a considerable diminution in both instances. The other Securities have remained without material change, while the Public and Private Deposits also have not varied to any im portant extent.

The general appearance of the Bank of England return, however, has attracted attention in discount circles, and it also seems to have rendered some of the discounters less eager for the negotiation of business at the current rates. The guaranteed interest of 6 per cent. on the Royal Danish Railway shares will be payable on and after the 25th inst. An extraordinary meeting of the East India Coal Company has been called for the 30th inst. for the purpose of authorising the directors to borrow money, on mortgage or otherwise, for a sum not exceeding £25,000. Notice has been given that all claims against the South Sea Company are to be sent in without de lay. Business in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days has been rather inactive. Tea at public sale sold slowly at about previous rates. Sugars generally have been a shade cheaper, but higher rates have been obtained for coffee. Rice, fruit, and spices were in limited request at about previous quotations. The tallow market has been dull, and prices have slightly given we, &or both present and forward delivery. Two o'CLocK. The Liverpool cotton market to-day was quiet, at yesterday's prices; sales about 2,500 bales. At Paris this morning, the Three per Cent. Rentes were quoted 71f. 85c., being I per cent. lower than yesterday. The Commercial Gas Company's half-yearly meet ing took place to-day—Mr. C. S. Butler, M.P., in the chair. The balance-sheet presented to the shareholders exhibited a clear profit for the half year of £16,000, which is an increase of £2,000 over the corresponding period of 1861. The direc tors in their report, which was unanimously agreed to, proposed a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum for the six months. Towards the close of business yesterday after noon the Funds dropped per cent., and a further similar decline has taken place to-day, Consols being now depressed at 93t 6 for transfer, and at 931 84 for the 6th pros. This heaviness has resulted from speculative sales partly based upon the Bank of England return, which shows a reduction in the bullion and a falling off in the reserve of notes. It is generally imagined that a further adverse move ment will take place in the next two or three returns, and the possibility of the money market assuming, under the circumstances, a rather firmer appearance has led to a little speculation for a fall.

Darmstadt lately addressed the following telegram to Garibaldi : " General—A lively sympathy and high esteem induces the Liberals of Offenbach to ask for news as to your health." The following. reply was received :—" I cordially thank the brave citizens of Offenbach. I suffer, but do not com plain. All is going on well.

LAW---THIS DAY. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque.) IN RE RICHARDSON. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. To-day was appointed fora meeting for the examination of Mr. Riches, a solicitor, and who was also trade assignee of the bankrupt's estate, touching the estate and effects of the bankrupt, and other persons were joined in the summons. Mr. Pook now appeared for Mr. Riches, and contended that the summons must be dismissed. It appeared on a former occasion that an application had been made to Mr. Commissioner Fane, who made the present appointment in the absence of Mr. Riches on the Continent; but, on his return, Mr Pook applied for copies of the affi davits on which th e a ppli c ation was founded, but which had not teen filed, and the case was adjourned until to-day for Mr. rook to show cause against the summons. He now said that the bankrupt had been formerly in part nership with another party, but the partnership was dis solved, and subsequently Richardson was made bankrupt, and the present proceedings were taken by Mr. Charnock, on the part of a creditor of the joint estate. He (Mr. Pook) argued that, under the 140th section of the act 1849, a creditor of the joint estate could only prove against the separate estate for the purpose of voting for the choice of assignees and in opposition to the certificate. That por tion of the act had not been repealed, and therefore the creditor had no lams standi, as he was not interested in the administration of the separate estate until all the separate creditors had been paid in full. He (Mr. Pook) therefore asked for the sum mons to be dismissed with costs. Mr, Charnock said the meeting was for the purpose of examining witnesses as to the estate of the bankrupt. Mr. Riches had been solicitor to the bankrupt, and was chosen assigned by bankrupt's brother, and all the bankrupt's furniture had been removed to his wife's mother. Mr. Pook said the proceedings were exceedingly irregu lar if Mr. Riches, who besides being assignee was a solici tor and officer of this court, and the proper course, if he had acted improperly, would be to petition for his removal from the office of assignee. . _ His Honour (to Mr. Charnock)—You have not told me for whom you appear. . .. Mr. Charnock—l appear for a creditor who has proved his debt. His Honour said it was by a joint creditor, atd he would not go on with the case. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS—(7his Day). Music AND DANCING LICENCES, To day was appointed to consider the applications for licenses for music and dancing. Henry Pownall, Esq., the chairman, presided. THE LORD NELSON, DUKE'S• ROW, ST. PANCRAS. This was an application of Than Kranchi for a music licence to these premises, which had been transferred by assignment from the former proprietor, Frederick Frampton, at a cost of upwards of £3,000, in addition to which he had laid out upwards of £1,500 in improvements. On a show of hands of the magistrates the licence was refused. POLICE-THIS DAY. COMMITTAL WITHOUT A FINE—ASSAULT ON A CON STABLE.—EmmanueI Bat ton, a respectable -looking young man, who gave the address Beak-street, City, and who, on being placed in the dock, said his name was Abraham Morris, was charged before Mr. Knox with assaulting Paw son, 121 C. It appears that about three this morning Pawson saw the prisoner go up to a wan sitting in a doorway—the pri soner having two companions with him—and Seize the man by the legs and pull him on the pavement. Pawson told the prisoner to let the man alone, and that he would look after him, when the prisoner made use of a disgusting ex pression and struck Pawson a blow on the face and knocked him down. Thom, 63 C, Richardson, 212 C, and East, 13.5 E, then assisted Pawson in taking the prisoner into custody, when the prisoner kicked Thom in a delicate part, and after a good deal of resistance, the prisoner, who treated the whole of the constables very roughly, was got to the police-station. Prisoner attempted to make out ' that he had been ill used by the police, and called a witness named Barnes, who said he rekided in Weymouth-street, was a billiard - marker, and was employed at the Wellington Club, who saw the constable kick the prisoner, but this was denied. Inspector Bowles, who took the charge, said the witness and the prisoner were drunk. Mr. Knox said he was determined to protect the police in the performance of their duty. He would like to know from the inspector the character of the constables. Inspector Bowles having given them all good characters, Mr. Knox said he believed the constables, who had all good characters, and were sober at the time, in pre ference to persons who were proved to be drunk. He should not give the prisoner the option of paying a fine, but should commit him for a month. THE HAY MARKET AND ITS VISITORS.--Patrick Barry and George Morris, two fellows of desperate appearance, were charged with loitering in the Haymarket and attempt ing to pick pockets. Waterson, 144 C, said on taking them into custody they said they had come from the country, and were Garibal dians. He saw the prisoners attempt to pick agentleman's pocket. There was a third person in custody who he had seen with the prisoners. Mr. Knox said he would have the prisoners put back and hear the next charge then. Maria Herbert, Elizabeth Linley, John M'Niel, and Ro bert Stanley were then charged with loitering in the Hay market for the purpose of committing a felony. Sergeant Brown saw Linley accost a gentleman, the others standing close by. She then left the gentleman and went after another, and then left him and went to Regent • street and the top of the Haymarket, where they all had some conversation. The females then went down the Haymarket, the male prisoners keeping a short distance off. One of the female prisoners then changed cloaks with a female not in custody, he had no doubt to deceive the police. Having got assistance he took the whole of the prisoners into custody, having been following them for about two hours, and during that time the men were foilowing the women. Police-constable Brown, 176 C, confirmed the sergeant. Sergeant Brown said he found nothing on the females, and only 21d. on the two men. Mr. Knox said he had no doubt morally what the pri soners were about, but the evidence was not strong enough to warrant him in convicting the prisoners as suspected persons, but should fine them all 40s. each, the females for being at the place for the purposes of prostitution, and the men for aiding and abetting them. Morris and Barry were then again placed at the bar, and Mr. Knox said he had no doubt the police would find out something about them, and remanded them.

Wilde, for a renewal of the license for music and dancing to le Alhambra, Leicester-square. The application with regard to dancing was opposed by two churchwardens and overseers of St. Martin's-in-the fields.

Mr. Sleigh said the applicant was quite willing to enter into the same underta Sing as that imposed on Mr. E. T. Smith. The Court granted the license on these terms. THE STAIt AND GARTER, GREEN-STAEET, LEICESTER- SO DARE, The application of James Woods for a music license to these premises, late in the occupation of John Cook. This license was opposed by the churchwardens and overseers of St. Martin's-in the-Fields, on the ground that the house was the resort of persons of immoral character, principally soldiers, thieves, and prostitutes. On a show of hands, tLe majority of magistrates were against granting the license. THE ADELAIDE GALLERY.

Bannister and Co., British wino distillers, Fins• bury, was found by his fellow-workmen floating in the wine contained in one of the steep vats on the premises.

THE SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY.----WO under stand that the " Southern Association" in Liverpool, at a meeting yesterday, agreed to a proposition which had for its object the memorialising of Government for the recog nition of the Confederate States of America. This move ment on the part of the Southern Association has been chiefly caused by the opinions enunciated at Newcastle on Tuesday hat by Mr. Gladstone. It is said that the mem bers of the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce have or are about to petition Government as to the necessity of recog nising the South at, a separate nation. Hagerstown, in Maryland, where a battle was fought recently between the Federals and Confederates, is a village with 4,000 inhabitants, and is the capital of Wash ington county. It is 26 miles from Frederick. Washing ton is a strong Union county ; it has sent 1,400 men to the war, and subscribed n 2,000 sterling towards bounties. The corporation of Dublin, at its meeting on Sion day, appointed a public analyst. There were four candi dates. The voting was by ballot, and Professor Cameron had a large majority. His business will be to analyse all articles of food or drink purchased within the city which may be submitted to him for the purpose, under the provi sions of the 23d and 24th Viet., c. 84. Y ----- LORD BELPER AND THE NEW POACHING ACT.— At the Shire Hall, Nottingham, on Wednesday, Lord Bel per, in delivering judgment in a case which came under the new Poaching Act, said the defendant had been proved to be on a footpathwith nets for taking game in his possession. The magistrates had considered the wording of the act, and they found that It was impossible to make any conviction unless it could be proved that the nets had been used for the taking of game. This had not been done, and the bench had no alternative but to discharge the accused and restore the nets to him. Mr. Robert Snellie, surgeon, of Rudding ton, Notts, was also charged before Lord Belper the sitting magistrate, with poaching on land over which General Sir Arthur Clifton has the right of shooting. It appeared that on the 3d inst., the defendant was driving through the above named preserves in his gig, and occasionally the vehicle was stopped, and he shot several birds and a hare. He was observed to get out of the gig to go and fetch the game, and afterwards return. Ihe bench convicted him and ordered him to pay a fine of 40s, • " SAINT CUTIIBERT's HOLY ISLE."—Lindesfarn, or, as it is more generally called, Holy Island, is situated upon the east coast of Northumberland, about midway be tween Berwick and North Sunderland, and though com paratively unknown to the tourist, possesses many historical and antiquarian interest deserving of a better acquaintance. Hallowed as the spot w her e Aidan, the apostle o f th e N ort b, founded the first monastic retreat, and where St. Cuthbert performed most of his miracles, it has been poetically im mortalised by Sir Walter Scott in ci Marmion,"—newhere is his influence over the imagination more powerfully ex emt lifted than by the involuntary homage rendered by the primitive race of islanders, to wham the tragedy of Con stance's trials and entombment has become a matter of tra dition ; for even at this da y the littl e fi s h er lads drop their shrill voices, and point, with half -averted eye, to Con stance's tomb, and tell how her death-shriek still startles the echoes of the ru ined abbey, mingling with the war of the tempest, and that not a man in the island will put to 0 sea if the white wen have appeared,—Onq a Wok, ~~ WESTMINSTER. CAPTURE or HOUSEBREAKERS.—WiIIiam Taylor and John Smith, powerful young men, were placed at the bar charged with burglariously breaking and entering th( dwelling-house of a lady named Fizabrasac, in Gloucester terrace, Pimlico. llannah Russell, servant at the house, said—At seven la,t evening I was in a room at the top of the house, and I suddenly heard an opening and shutting of drawers in the next apartment. I immediately came down stairs and procured assistance. George Barker, 25, Gloucester-terrace, said—At a little before 8 last night the last witnes rushed into the house, and saying that there were thieves in her mistress's house, requested some men to come in. I went in, followed by the servant, and hastened up stairs to the front attic, where I saw the prisoners getting out of the window. I immediately shut the room door and ran down stairs in order to prevent their escape. There are three newly built and unfinished houses close to the house where I found the prisoners, and I thought they would descend there and endeavour to escape in that direction. Suddenly I saw a ladder move and I immediately threw it down. I then heard a noise of the removal of boards, and shortly afterwards I found the prisoners had placed them in the area, to enable them by climbing up the brick work to reach the street. They then came up and separated, but were fullowed and taken into custody. A number of housebreaking tools found on the roof were produced. The di awers had all been thrown open, but the thieves wore disturbed below they had time to tie anything up. Michael John Shane, a detective of the B division, said he knew Smith as the associate of thieves and had no doubt that both prisoners were ticket-of-leave men. Mr. Paynter said he should at once commit them for trial, and ordered the depositions to be prepared. SOUTHWARK. BOBBING A MASTER AND SELLING THE GOODS TO HIM.—SINGULAR CASE,-Wm. Northwood, warehouse man, in the employ of Messrs. Surma, wool merchants, Castle.street, Southwark, was brought before Mr. Maude, charged with stealing a quantity of valuable wool, and Clara Sewell, and Mary Ann Bartlett were charged with receiving the same, well knowing it to be stolen. Mr. Robert Surnett, one of the partners, said that yes terday morning, while he was in the shop, at 48, Castle street, Bartlett brought in a bag of clean wool, and offered it to him for sale. He examined it, and asked her where she got it from, when she replied that her brother had brought it from Jersey. Believing her story, and having no suspicion, he gave her five shillings for it. She then said she had some of a darker colour at home, and asked if he would purchase that. He replied that he would if it suited him. In the evening the same person brought a large bag containing dark coloured wool, which, on examination, he at once perceived was his property, as it was coloured by them, and no other person in the trade had any like it. He questioned her further about it, when she said it was all a story about her brother at Jersey, and that she received the wool from Northwood, who told her it was part of his perquisites, being the sweepings of the warehouse which thf.y had recently removed wool from. She also said that Sewell gave her the white wool to sell. Witness called in the police, and gave all the pri soners iutu custody. In ar awe'. to Mr. Maude, witness said that for the last two months he had missed wool in a very mysterious man ner, but he had no suspicion of Northwood prior to this. Mr. Maude asked if he allowed any perquisites such as sweepings ? Witness replied in the negative. He asked for a remand to enable him to ascertain where the other wool had been sold. The prisoners, who made a rambling statement, were re. mended until Wednesday next. THAMES. DARING thanWAY ROBBERY.--William Jones, a strong and powerful man, aged 23, described as a labourer, but well known to the police as a thief, was brought before Mr. Selfe,charged with s t ea li ng a s il ver watch from Mr. Miller, , leggings manufacturer, 9, Bartholomew-square, St. Luke's. Mr. Miller stated that he was passing along Upper Elst Smithfield on Wednesday evening between the hours of five and six, midway between the street and the bSt. Katherine Dock entrance, he was accosted by the prisoner, who placed his hands on the shoulders of witness and forced him against a wall at the corner of a narrow court, and at the same moment he saw his watch in prisoner's hand. It had been taken out of his waistcoat pocket. The guard had not been detached from the watch. He immediately seized the end of the guard, which broke, and he fell on his loft side. The prisoner ran up the court with the watch, and a large man ran after him. Many people advised him to pursue the prisoner, to which he replied, " No, I have got a sound head, and wish to keep it." He knew what the courts in the vicinity of Upper East Smithfield were, and went direct to the police-station and gave information of the robbery and a description of the thief. Mr. Selfe--Is the prisoner the man who robbed you of your watch? Mr. Miller —Ile is, sir. I recognised him directly I saw him in the Leman -street station•hou<e. The prisoner —Why, you turned me about before you could say I wa,3 the man. Mr. Selfe—No, you turned him about when you stole his watch. John Barrett, a police-constable, No. 158, said — l appre hended th e prisoner at a late hour last night in companY with a prostitute and convicted thieves, at a house in s I station-house." w°n' Thomas-street, St. G eorg e-in-the -East. T he prisoner aiti won't go tiillslaidl:avaeirerasytretcher t o carry me to the well, you shall soon have a stretcher, and•handcuffs too—no nonsense," and he walked to the station-house w ith me. Barrett added— There have been many highway robberies committed i n Upper East Smithfield, the courts and alleys leading out o f it, and the houses in which are inhabited by the worst of characters, give facilities for the d e scape of thieves. Mr. &H e —You must try an And what has be come of the prosecutor's wat ch. The prisoner is reinanded Until Wednesday nest.

[We have been favoured with a copy of the following clever jeu d'esprit, which, we daresay, we are safe in saying is from the pen of the Rev. Professor Kingsley :—] _ _ "Mr. President and Gentlemen, I mean Ladies and Mr. President, I am sure that all ladies and gentlemen present will see the matter just as I do ; and I am sure we are all very much obliged to these scientific men for quarrelling. —No.---I don't meant that, that wouldn't be charitable, and it's a sin to seal a pin ; but I mean for letting us hear them quarrel, and so eloquently too ; though of course we don't understand what is the matter and which is in the right; but of course we were very much delighted, and 1 may say, quite interested, to find that we had all hippopo tamuses in our brains. Of course they're right you know, because sceing's believing. Certainly, I never felt one in wine ; but perhaps it's dead, and so didn't stir, and then, of course, it don't count, you know. A dead dog is as good as live lion. Stop—no. A live lion is as good as a dead log —no, that won't do again. There's a mistake some where. What was I saying ? Oh, hippopotamuses, Well, I say, Perhaps mine's dead. They say hippopotamuses feed on water. No, I don't think that, because teetotallers feed on water, and they are always lean; and the hippo's fat, at least in the Zoo. Live in water, it must be; and there'snone in my brain. There was when I was a baby, my aunt says ; but they tapped me ; so I suppose the hippo potamus died of drought. No—stop. It wasn't a hippo potamus after all, it was hip—hip—not hip-hip hurrah, you know, that comes after dinner, and the Section hasn't dined, at least since last night, and the Cambridge wine is very good, I will say that —No. I recollect now, Hippocam pus it was. Hippocampus, a sea horse; I learnt that at Eton ; hippos, sea, and campus, a horse —no-- campus, a sea, and hippos, a horse, that's right. Only campus ain't a sea, it's a field, I know that ; Campus Martius—l was swished for that at Eton—ought to be again, I believe, if every dog had his day. But at least its a sea. horse, I know that, because I saw one alive at Malta with the regiment, and it a rang a bell. No; it was a canary that rang a bell, but this had a tail like a monkey, and made a noise like a bell. I daresay you won't believe me ; but 'pon 'honour I'm speaking truth—Noblesse oblige, you know ; and it had'nt been taught et all, and perhaps if it had it would'nt have learned ; but it did, and it was in a monkey's tail, No, stop, it must have been in its held, because it was in its brain—and every one has brains in his head, unless he's a skeleton ; and it curled its tail round things like a monkey, that I know, for I saw it with my own eyes. That was Professor Rolleston's theory, you know. It was Professor Huxley said it was in his tail—not Mr. Huxley's, of course, but the ape's; only apes have no tails, so I don't quite see that. And then the other gentleman who got up last, Mr. Flower you know, he said that it was all over the ape, everywhere. All over hippocampuses, from head to foot, poor beast, like a dog all over ticks I I wonder why they don't rub bluestone into the back of its neck, as one does to a pointer. Well then. Where was I ? Oh I and Pro fessor Owen said it was'nt in apes at all; but only in the order bimana, that's you and me. Well, he knows best. And they all know best too, for they are monstrous clever fellows. So one must be right and all the rest wrong, or else one of them wrong, and all the rest right —you see that t I wonder why they dont toss up about it. If they took a half-crown now or a shilling, or even a fourpenny piece would do,if theymagnified it, and t )st heads and tails, or New o3narket, if they wanted to be quite sure, why then there couldn't be any dispute among gentlemen after that, of course. Well then, about men being apes, I say why shouldn't it be the other way, and the apes be men? Do you see ? Because then they might have as many hippo campuses in their brains as they liked, or hippotamuses either, indeed. I should be very glad, indeed, if it was so, if it was only for my aunt's sake; for she says that her clergyman says, that if anybody ever finds a hippopo tamus in a monkey's head, nothing will save her great, groat, great—l can't say how great, you see—its awful to think of —quite enormous grandfather from having been a monkey too ; and then what is to become of her precious soul? So, for my aunt's sake, I should be very glad if it could be settled that way, really; and I am sure the scientific gentlemen will take it into con sideration, because they are gentlemen, as every one know's, and would not hurt a lady's feelings—the man who would strike a woman, you know—everybody knows that, it's in Shakspeare. And besides, the niggers say that monkeys are men, only they won't work for fear of being made to talk ; no, won't talk for fear of being made to work ; that's (right for once, as I live l) and put their hands over their eyes at night for fear of seeing the old gentleman—and I'm sure that's just like a reasonable creature; I used when I was a little boy ; and you see the niggers have lived l` among them for thousands of years, and are monstrous likes them, t oo , d'y e see , an d so th e y mus t k now best; and then it would be all r i g ht. W e ll, then, about a gulf. Pro fessor Hu x l e y says th ere ' s a gu lf b e t wee n a man and an ape. I'm sure I'm glad of it, especially if the ape bit—end r Ofns fessor Owen says there a i n 't. What ? am I wcongo h f course course, Yes—beg a thousand pardons, really N —Professor Ow en sa y s th ere i s , a nd Professor O Huxley says there ain't, 'Well, a fellow can't recollec t everything. But I say, if there's a gulf, the ape might get over it and bite one after all. I know Quintus Curtius jumpebdurtberstawgeuslfhaiet Eton—that is, certainly, h e j u mped in; he might ha ve fault, you see : if h e 'd put i n more l" cleared it, and th en th ere wou ld have been no gulf between him and an ap e . B u t th a t don't mattearssobrimdguecdh,obveer cause Professor Huxley said the rolfn,t wish to be wd by a structure. N o w, I am sure per sonal, especially after the very han dsome way in whi c h a ll our healths. Stop —no. Professor Huxley has It's we that ought to drunk drink his health, I'm sure, Highland honours and all—but the same time I should have b een obliged to him if he'd. g w detaroit th told us a little more about this strue ture, especially considering nasty mischie vous thi ngs apes are—tore one of m y coat tails off at the Zoologic a l th e other day. H® ought—no, I don't say that, be cause it would seem like dic i t t at d m e n w , n l daellnl'vtrleiDisegLhguott; zzirieedlillii do humbly express that Professor it at school —wrote Huxleyate mightbut I mi g ht • dictation; have told us a little, you see, about that struc ture. Was it wood ? Was it iron ? Was it silver an d gold, lik e London-brid ge w h en Lady Lee danced over is, before it was washed away by a man w i t h, m o at): m hi s mouth? No, stop, I say—that earetbe , with a pipe in his m ou th wash away a bridge? . A Why a fellow can't work hard with a pipe i n hi s mouth —every body knows that— much less wash a No, its quite absurd—quite.away a whole brid ge . Only I say, I should like to know something about this structure, if it was only to quiet my aunt. And, then, if Prof see the struct ure, why can't essor Huxley can Professor Owen? It can't be invisible, you know, unless at itw c as h p l ainted invisible can see like Ben H a ll' a new bridge that of cou rse, for you have to pay e n s o ea w ; w o h n e l n y you g e o over, so I suppose the green ain't the right colour. But that's another reason why I want them to toss up—toss up, you see, whether they saw it or not, or which of them should see it, or something of that kind. I'm sure that's the only way to settle ; and—oh, by the bye, as I said before—only I didn't, but I ought to have—if either of the gentlemen havn' t half-a-crown about them, why a two shilling piece might do, though I never carry them myself, for fear of giving one to a keeper, and then he seta you down for a screw, you know. Because, you see, I see, I don't quite see, and no offence to honourable members—learned and eloquent gentlemen, I mean ; and though I don't wish to dictate, I don't quite think ladies and gentlemen quite see either. You see that ?" (The noble lord, who had ex pressed to accurately the general sense of the meeting, oat down, amid loud applause.) ^ THIRD EDI rioN. SUN OFFICE, SEVEN O'CLOCK. THE HYDE-PARK RIO7S.

The unfortunate man took a small boat at the low part of the town, and, after giving the man to whom the boat belonged a shilling, he pulled out into the middle of the stream, and then shouted—" Good bye." He took the boat over the bar out to sea, and, whi'e in twelve fathoms water, he was observed by some men in the steamboat (I , ,liah to pull (If his clothes and tie them up into a bundle. He then placed the oars in an orderly manner, and stuck up the boat •hook, with his handkerchief half mast high, as if for mourning. He shouted to the steam boat men, whose suspicions that there was something wrong with him had been aroused, and they were making towards him with their boat. But before they could reach him, he leaped from the boat's gunwale into the sea, having k a large stone fastened about his neck with a rope, and hold instantly, of course, and was droivned.
