MONEY MARKET. CITY NEWS-YESTERDAY. "Messrs, Rothschild have given notice that the bonds for the paid•up scrip of the Russian loan are ready for delivery, as regards the scrip on which the dividend due on the Ist of November has not been received, and that those for the remainder will be ready on Thursday. Arrangements have this day been completed for the union of the Bank of Canada (which was pro jected in October last with a capital of £1,000,000) with the London and Colonial Bank ',which was pro jected in September, with a capital of £500,000), and the following members from the Bank of Canada are to join the Board of the London and Colonial : Sir Edmund W. Head, K.C.8., Mr. Frederick Doulton, M.P., Mr. Thomas H. Glad- S tone, and Mr. Albert Pelly. In the foreign exchanges this afternoon the rate Upon Hamburg was a shade higher than by last post ; on other places the rates were about the Same. About £12,000 was taken from the Bank to-day for transmission to Germany. A distinct diminution has at length occurred in the demand for gold for France. The bar silver brought by the West India steamer about ten days since has to-day been disposed of at 61d. per oz., showing a decline of id. from the previous price. There will be £300,000 of the Guaranteed Bonds of the Canadian Government to be paid off on the Ist of January next at the Bank of England. Another new undertaking connected with the Cape, of a promising character, and aiming at use ful objects, is announced, under the title of the South African Irrigation and Investment Company (Limited), The operations proposed are threefold, nam ely, those of a land and irrigation company, a comp any to construct public works of improvement In to wns, and a trust, loan, and investment com pany, Reasons are assigned showing that the Cape colonies present a very favourable field for transac tions under each of these heads. The company will raise money on deb en t ures i n E ng l an d, an d re-in vest it on fi rs t mortgages i n the colon i es. W e no tice the highly satisfactory assurance in the pro spectus that " suc h prov i s i on h as b een ma d e b y t h e directors for the preliminary expenses as will secure the C ompany against p a ying any sum whatever in the nature of promotion money, and the articles of as6ociation will contain a clause giving the share holders the power to fix, year by year, the amount of the directors' remuneration." The direction is highly respectable, and composed for the most part of mercantile names actually engaged in the Cape trade. The capit a l i s fi xe d a t £1,000,000, in 20,00 U shares of £5O each, of which the first issue will con sist of 10,000 shares. A call of ss. is to be paid on the shares in the In dia Fre e h o ld L an d, Colonisation, Trust, and A gency Association by the 17th December. The *tit ordinary general meeting of this company is Convened for the 19th December. CITY NEWS---THIS DAY. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The supply of commercial bills on offer continues very moderate, and the market remains without the slightest change. Gold is now about 2-10ths cheaper in London than in Paris, but it is about 2-10ths higher here than in Hamburg. There now seems to be a prospect of a diminution in the exports of specie, the demand for silver on Eastern account having fallen off, while the upward tendency of the continental exchanges will most likely be followed by a reduction in the consign ments of gold. An extraordinary meeting of the Atlantic Tele graph Company is called for the 12th proximo for th e Purpose of receiving the directors' report, and of Consid er i ng a proposition for the issue of £600,000 new capital, in preferential shares of X 6 each.

T he English Stock Market opened this morning with further indications of buoyancy, and *everal purchases took place on speculation, as well as for ifil'viesiment.

The public are also investing r h ore freely than of late, as usual, at this period of for Year, o w i ng trans fer, to the accruing I dividend.

This was an action to recover .£lll6s. for fruit and vege tables, plaintiff renting one of the Royal Gardens, and defendant being a fruiterer of Covent-garden Market: Mr. Binns, for the plaintiff, said that his client rented one of the Royal Gardens at Hampton-Court, and he had sold at the regular market price a quantity of fruit and vegetables to defendant. Plaintiff said that defendant agreed to take a quantity of peaches, tomatoes, and lettuces, and to send the money the following week. The learned Secondary --I see here are some custard mar rows. (Laughter.) Plaintiff—Oh, yes ! and there was some endive. The price I charged defendant was less than the regular market price, and I sent an account with the goods. I complained to defendant of not being paid, as I was answerable to my noble employer. He promised to pay me in two months. Cross -examined—He said he was very much distressed, and I told him I did not wish to distress any man, but I was answerable to the Marquis of St. Albans for the produce. A witness contradicted Mr. Kidd as to the promise to pay in two months, Mr. Wright, for defendant, said his client was only a salesman in the market, and he had sold these things on commission, getting the best possible market price for them. Defendant had offered to pay that which the goods had fetched. Of course the Royal Gardens are situated in an aristocratic neighbourhood, but plaintiff could not ex pect to get the same price at Covent-garden Market, as the produce would fetch with the nobility and gentry at Hampton Court. Defendant was called, and said that he only bought on commission, and it was only the great people who bought out and out. The goods were rubbish. Cross-examined —H e had no right to make any charge, but to wait till I had sold the things. I never promised to pay in two months. A witness said that tomatoes were all over when plaintiff sent his to the market. (Laughter.) The learned Secondary said it was for the jury to say whether the goods were absolutely sold, or merely sent on commission, and the jury found for tke plaintiff for £4lss, the sum the goods fetched by commission. Subsequently the learned Secondary pointed out the law, and the jury found for defendant. CRIMINAL COURT--THIS DAY. At Bow-street Police-court this day Francis Bartlett Graham, gentleman, of Pembridge-gardens, Bayswater, was placed at the bar, charged with stabbing Police-con stable George Brown, 5G6 A, in the pit of the Lyceum Theatre last night. Mr. Lewis, of Ely-place, attended on the part of the prisoner. Mr. John Wakeling, 16, Arundel-place, Haymarket, publican, said—l was in the pit of the Lyceum Theatre with my wife and some friends. I observed particularly the prisoner incessantly walking in and out the house which occasioned a great disturbance in consequence of the noise from his boots. He did not sit down for five minutes together. He was asked to be seated, but he declined, and continued his annoyance. Sometimes he went out of one door, sometimes the other. The people said what a pity the police were not in attendance. I then noticed a policeman in uniform, when the prisoner walked round to where he was standing, and I saw the officer fall to the ground. I said to my friends, " Good God, he has knocked the officer down," and I then scrambled over the benches to the constable's assistance, who had by that time got up from the ground. I did not then observe the pri soner had a knife in his hand. Some persons near me said, " Mind yourself; he has got a knife in his hand." I went forward, and taking hold of his hand, wrenched the knife from his grasp. I saw the man that was stabbed. I did trot observe the knife before. I saw the blood stream ing from the officer's face. There was a wound in the centre of the forehead, one over the eye, another about the head. The knife produced I believe to be the instrument I saw in the hand of the prisoner. By Mr. Lewis—The prisoner appeared to be in a very excited state of mind. He also appeared to be walking in and out of the house without the slightest object. There was not the least provocation for the blows. I don't be lieve the policeman spoke to him at all: By the Magistrate—The constable came to the station house before I left. He was covered with blood. On taking off his coat there was a great deal of blood about his shirt, and it was thought he had been stabbed in the side. The constable was immediately taken to the hospital. Inspector West said—l was on duty at the station when the prisoner was brought in. The constable came in al most immediately after. He was able to state the charge in prisoner's presence. He (the constable) said—". From what I had heard from the bystanders that the prisoner had a knife in his hand I gradually went towards him. Before reaching him he (the prisoner) rushed at ma and stabbed me." I (witness) asked him with what ? and he replied, " A knife," and he then handed me the knife I now pro duce. I observed blood on the prisoner's right hand, and he appeared altogether in a very excited state. I saw two or three wounds on the policeman's forehead and one on the right side. Mr. Henry—Was he bleeding from that ? OLD COURT. THE CHARGE AGAINST MR. WHITEIMRST. The grand jury have returned a true bill on each of the four counts against Mr. Whitehuret. . . The trial will, therefore, in accordance with previous ar rangements, take place in the Court of Queen's Bench. Witness—Yes, your worship, very much. I instantly sent for Dr. Paynter, and after that the wounded man was taken to King's College Hospital, ALLEGED MURDER. Henry King was indicted for the wilful murder of Ann Day, in Tower-street, Lambeth. The death of deceased, it will be recollected, was caused by wounds from a chisel and screw-driver it was alleged the prisoner had wilfully used. The case has already been fully reported in The Sun. The jury returned a verdict of not guilty. NEW COURT. (Before Baron Bramwell. THE CLROTTE ROBBERIES. George Roberts and James Anderson were indicted for highway robbery with violence. Mr. Henry—Did the prisoner make any answer to the charge? Witness—No, your worship, he merely played with his whiskers. When I saw the officer stripped at the hospital I saw there were two other wounds on the left side. Mr. Henry—Do you imagine the prisoner's excitement arose from drunkenness ? Witness—No, your worship. He was quite sober. _ . Mr. Lewis—From his state of mind you thought it neces sary for a policeman to watch him all night. Witness —Yes, I did. Dr. Paynter, of Bridges-street, said—l was called to the station, in Bow-street, about half-past nine last evening. I there found a constable of the A division severely wounded. He was very pale and faint from loss of blood. He had an incised wound on the forehead, one beneath the right eye, one on the right side of the breast-bone, one on the left shoulder, and one on the back of the left arm ; altogether five wounds. I accompanied the wounded man to King's College Hospital, where I left him, Fortunately the con stable had his great coat on, or the wounds might have proved fatal. As it is the man is likely to recover. Mr. Lewis—You have examined the prisoner this morn ing relative to the state of his mind ? It appeared on the 23d of September, at about six o'clock, the prosecutor was passing along Bloomsbury-street when he was suddenly attacked by the prisoners. One of them shoved against him, and the other knocked him down by striking him a tremendous blow on the mouth, which knocked out one of his teeth. lie was rendered insensible from the effects of the blow, and on recovering himself he found his watch had been stolen. A gentleman named Web ster distinctly identiied both prisoners, and a lad named Anderson pursued Anderson for some distat ce through the back streets between Oxford-street and Holborn, and Anderson becoming aware that the lad was following, crowd. when an altercation be rOwd. A police-constable t t u w r e n e e n d ro u them ti d s a a d n c o a t a t f r r a o c n t t e e d d hi came up, but the bey left without explaining why he had followed Anderson. The robbery shortly afterwards be came known, and the police at once arrested the prisoners, with whom they had long been familiar from the many times they had bean convicted, they also being strongly suspected of being the parties who committed the garrotte robbery upon Mr. Pilkington, M.P., in Waterloo-place. A few days 'after that outrage they were committed i t° prison on a charge of loitering in the streets for a felonious purpose, and during the period of their imprisonment no mote garotte robberies were com mitted in the neighbourhood. Immediately upon their liberation street outrages again became rife. On the day after the robbery Sergeant Holmes met the prisoners in Endell-street ; both attempted to avoid him, and for want of assistance he was unable to apprehend the two. Roberto escaped, but he captured Anderson, and immediately after wards information was forwarded to Sergeant Gordon, who had Rogers in custody, and in a few days after he was taken into custody in the Tottenham -court-• road. On their way to the station Rogers suddenly released himself by making a desperate effort, springing away from the officer and leaving a portion of his coat in his possession. As he was struggling to get away Roberts violently assaulted the officer, and with such fury that for some time he was incapacitated from following in pursuit. When Roberts assaulted the officer, he said, "You -, you want to have me for putting the mug on him, I'll put the mug on you" (putting on the mug being the slang term for garroting). A desperate struggle ensued, when the officer again came up with him, and the result was, alter the greatest difficulty, the prisoner was captured. The jury found both prisoners guilty. Baron Bramwell p)stponed passing sentence until some of the other prisoners charged with the same offence had been tried. Witness—Yes; and from the, short conversation I have had with him I have come to the conclusion that he is insane. Mr. Lewis—The prisoner had been under the care of Dr. Winslow, and it was thought that recreation and amuse ment might consolidate his cure. Unfortunately he had been allowed to go out alone, and that had led to the unfor tunate occurrence. I wish to ask whether you, sir, will admit him to bail, as he then could be placed under proper medical treatment, and appear at the next examination in a better state of mind. Mr. Henry—l cannot do that, as the charge may assume a more serious character. Mr. Lewis—He will in the interim be placed under the best medical advice. Dr. Winslow is in attendance; but I don't purpose to examine that gentleman without bail is refused. Mr. Henry—l think it better for the prisoner that he should remain in the custody of the police ; ultimately he will be sent for trial. Dr. Forbes Winslow can tell us now the state of the prisoner's mind when he saw him. Mr. Lewis—That being the case, I will call that gen leman. Dr. Forbes Winslow said—l reside at 23, Cavendish square. I know the prisoner. I was called in by his family some weeks ago to examine the state of the prisoner. I am of opinion he is insane. Mr. Lewis—But not incurably so, I hope ? Dr. Winslow—l hope not. I did not advise that he should go out alone. The prisoner was not bona fide under my charge, and I gave no opinion as to whether it was ad. visable for him to go out alone. I was not consulted on that point at all, and I wish to state that distinctly. If it goes forth that he has been under my care, and that I had declared him insane, it might be thought, perhaps, that a degree of responsibility rests on me for allowing him to go out alone. That was not my advice. Mr. Henry—Mr. Lewis then has stated rather too much. Prisoner—ls my evidence requested ? Mr. Henry—You have a solicitor, and you had better leave your case in his hands. Prisoner—Perhaps, sir, you will request my eNidence at the proper moment. The prisoner was then remanded. The principal wit nesses were bound over to appear at the trial. MARKETS-THIS DAY. MARK-LANE. The supply of English wheat on sale here to-day was small, and the trade ruled firm at fully Monday's currency. The imports of foreign wheat have fallen off, and in most descriptions a steady business has been transacted at full quotations. Floating cargoes of grain have met a steady sale, and prices have been well supported. Goo(' and fine barley moved off steadily at quite previous rates ; otherwise, the barley trade was dull at fully the late decline in prices. The malt trade was dull ; and the quotations had a down ward tendency. Oats—the supply of which was somewhat extensive—. sold heavily at fully the late decline in their value. Beans and peas were steady at late rates. The top price of town-made flour is now 475. per 2801bs. Country marks and barrels moved off slowly on former terms. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt.

CAPTURE OF ANOTHER DESPERATE THIEF—DARING ROBBERY IN A DWELLING-HOUSE. —George Pybus, a determined-looking f e ll ow, was c h arg ed before Mr. Tyr whitt with bein g concerned with ano th er man in entering the house of M r J ames Crocker, contrac t or for the re mova l of goods, at 20, Clipstone-street, and stealing a clock and a timepiece of the value of £6. Mr. Crocker having identified the articles as his property, Mrs. Susan Crocker, wife of the prosecutor, said that on the previous afternoon about 5 o'clock, bearing a noise in one of the parlours, she went upstairs, and, the door being shut, said, " Who is there ? " A voice inside said, " Oh, it's but timepiece t h e only me," a n d th e prisoner then came out with the clock i under his arm, i mmediately followed by another man with a his hand, n a d ft , er S t h h e ro a w t in on g ce aw se a i y zed th t e he ti p m ri e s p o i n e e ce r : managed to escape. John Bashforth, 148,E, said, hearing the cry of " Police" and " Stop thief," he ran to the corner of Foley-street, when he saw the prisoner being held by a French gentle man and others. He took the prisoner into custody, when some of the bystanders called out for him to take care, as the prisoner had something up his sleeve. He immediately closed with the prisoner, and in his pocket he found a clasp knife opened and ready for use. He then took the prisoner to the station. Mrs. Crocker, in answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, said she thought the two men mast have got into the house by means of a key. Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoner for trial. lIIAMES. YANKEE BRUTALITY.—CharIes Brown, an American sailor, was brought before Mr. Woolrych charged with as saulting Robert Ruphis, a police-constable, No. 497 K. The constable stated that he was standing outside a pub lic-house in Ratcliff-highway last night, when the prisoner crossed the road, and deliberately made a blow at him, which alighted on his breast and knocked him against the shutters of the house. He seized the prisoner before he could repeat the blow, and called upon another constable to assist him in taking him into custody. The prisoner struggled violently and made a determined resistance before he was lodged in the station-house. Dir. Woolrych anything to you ? Witness—Not awordh;e say emade the blow at my face, and —Did he very narrowly missed it. The prisoner, in a subdued tone, said—l did not strike she police-constable. Mr. Woolrych—He swears you did. The prisoner— I was very drunk, I guess. I don't re collect it. Mr. Woolrych—He does recollect it. I fine you 9s. The penalty was paid. MR. CHISHOLM ANSTEY.—This gentleman, who, Attorney-General of Hong gong by Sir John Bowring, g it will be remembered, was suspen d e d from hi s o ffi ce o f has, after a long inquiry and at the end of a lengthened correspondence, just received the amende honorable from the present Colonial Secretary. The important paragraph of the Duke of Newcastle's letter is as follows :—" I am directed to inform you, that the Duke of Newcastle is per fectly ready to express his opinion that the truth of the charges, of which you were the principal author, brought against Mr. Caldwell, before the Commission of Inquiry of established by the recent in vestigation n c ttoaanl that it Executive Couucil, so far as the cul pability Ma-Chow-Wong is em it cannot now be said, in the words of the letter addressed to you by order of Governor Sir John Bowring, that ' . none of those charges have been c l e B r s n B d h ; a scoobfnebseheenicisourseecunobt consequently, satisfactorily proved.' His Grace will go further, and say) that in forcing on a public inquiry into that officer's con duct you did Lin that respect render a ma t er i a l service to her MajeOffi Querumeat tho olinay of 119 PS Z9Pg` WHITECHAPEL. The supply of meat is moderately extensive, and the de mand rules inactive, as follows : Beef, from 2s 8d to 3s 10d ; mutton, 3s 4d to 4s 2d ; lamb, Os Od to Os Od; veal, 3s Gd to 48.6 d ; and pork, 38 8d to 4s 8d per 81bs by the carcase. BOROUGH HOP. There is no activity to notice in our market. Good and fine hops are firm as to price ; but inferior qualities are very difficult of sale, and drooping in value. SHIPPING-THIS DAY. (BY MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH.) GRAVESEND, Wednesday Morning. Arrived, Nov. 26.—Leo, steamer, from Rotterdam. Sailed—Sir E. Banks, steamer, for Calais; Saxon, steamer, for Stettin ; Belgium, steamer, for Ostend ; Pan ther, steamer, for Boulogne. No arrivals. DEAL, Wednesday Morning. The Civic Tribunal of the Seine gave judgment the day before yesterday in a suite brought by 'a M. Bock, the owner of a house in the Cite Treviso, against the Min ister of State, to rec over compensa ti o n for the damage done to his premises by the fire which occurred in July, 1861, in the magazines of the Opera in the Rue Richer. The counsel for the plaintiff maintained that the fire had been caused by the imprudence of the workmen employed by the Administration of the Opera, and that they had virtually admitted their responsibility by indemnifying several per sons whose furniture had been burnt at the same time. The defendant's counsel, in reply, stated that the Admstra tors of the opera denied their responsibility. It was i ndeed true th a t they had paid certain small sums to persons who had suffered by the fire , but they had done so out of con sideration for the necessitous state of the parties, and not because there was any legal claim. With respect to the origin of the fire, the plaintiff had failed to prove his plea. There were several houses which had sufferance windows looking towards the premises where the fire occurred, an d the plaintiffs' was one of them. It was very possible that the fire was occasioned by a lighted paper imprudentlyile thrown from one of these w indows. Takin g thisviefwaOdf the case, the Tribunal decide d that the p l aintiff had to prove that the fire was caused by the imprudence of the persons employed by the Opera, and ucc9rdi hisdemandwith coats. - Ugly rejected BRITIS 'CatTibrian Consol.

In a capacious measure, Happier than any Mormon Ho that owns that one treasure In bed her babe she tended, When crash, 10, glass went breaking, Down-stairs, and she descended, A charged revolver taking. There loomed a ruffian figure, At whom the brave beholder snapped—drew again the trigger,' And shot him through the shoulder. Oh I well her liege lord may be Right proud of such a jewel, Its milk who first gave baby, And then the thief his gruel. What burglar now dares wake her? Heroic wife and mother ! Would every brute housebreaker May meet with such another I GIVE. (From Punch.) Is Lancashire liberal ? Outrace her, Giving two crowns to her one. Is Lancashire stingy ? Out-face her, Giving much to her none. Be it little or much, let's be striving. Give money, or blankets, or prayer— All but reasons for not giving, Though they be never so fair. If the North pour her wealth without stint, The want passes all her powers : If the North's heart be hard as flint, More need of softness in ours. Then be there no cry but one Heard through this struggle to live, The cry of the horse-leech alone A sore cry of Give I Give r Give I Rich men, give of your millions, Poor men, let your mites be flung,— Lords and labourers, soldiers, civilians, Men, women, old and young. Give for the love of your sister and brother, Givo for your neighbour's shame : Give in rivalry of each other— 'Twill be giving all the same. Love's gifts bring a blessing confect, And who knows but the baser giving, May at such a time be blest, And dead hearts touched to living I PRICE OF GOLD. The quotation of gold at Paris is about 1 per mine prem., and the short exchange on London is 25.15 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 175. lOid. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is nearly 2-IGths per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 4 per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13.38 per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, at about 2-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is about It f to 147 per cent., and the premium on gold is about 33 per cent. At these rates there is a profit on the importation of gold from the United States. The tunvelit3g of the Alps is being continued with great activity. It is expected that the actual advance of 3.8 metres every 24 hours will be carried up to 5.6 m,, or even 6 m,, so that, unless some unexpected accident should occur, the work will be finished in 1870. Some fears have arisen about insufficient ventilation of the tunnel when finished; engineers, however, fear there will be too much air. The two (rids of the tunnel have a difference of level of 131 metres ; they will, therefore, never be at the same temperature, and a current of air will thus continually tra verse the tunnel.—lfechanics' Magazine.

Mrs. Basset have returned from Scotland, and intend wintering at their residence, Roscrow, Cornwall. Captain and Mrs. Duncombe, Mr. and Mrs. Arbuthnot, and Miss Cotton have arrived at Brown's Hotel. Ad a gentleman was three evenings ago leaving a cafe at Lyons to return home, he was accosted on cross ing the Place Bellecour by a well dressed man, who, after briefly stating that he was in great distress, said that he was M, Edgard Quinet, known as having been from 1839 to 1842 Professor of Foreign Literature at the Faculty of Letters at Lyons, and that unmerited misfortunes had re duced him to misery. The other, touched with compassion, gave the applicant a franc; but the latter did not appear satisfied, but kept still following, soliciting a further sum. The gentleman becoming impatient, and feeling certain that the fellow was an impostor, turned suddenly round and laid hold of him by the collar, with the intention of lodging him in the guard-house. The man, however, tripped him up and ran off, leaving a part of the collar of his coat behind. THE WAR-OFFICE AND LOCAL RATES.—About three years since an agreement was entered into between the War Department and the Woolwich Local Board of Health, by the terms of which the former has hitherto paid a yearly sum in lieu of rates on a fair assessment of the Government property, which was valued for that purpose. The Secretary for War has, however, declined to continue this payment in full, on the ground that the Government ought to be exempted from those items in the poor rate not oonnected with the cost of the relief of the poor. A. depu tation has been appointed to confer with the War Depart ment on the subject. Two prisoners, named Keller and Stauffert, effected their escape from the House of Correction, at Stras burg a few nights ago. By the help of a rope which had been thrown to them from the outside, they managed to scale the wall, and get into the street behind the corn market, and have not since been retaken. An attempt was made a few nights back to shoot a labourer, named Mettais, who resides at Bronstier (Indre.et-Loire). He was returning borne at about ten o'clock, when a stranger approached him, and exclaiming, " There is your reward," fired a pistol at him. The ball struck the left sleeve of Mettais' blouse, without however injuring him. Mettais immediately knocked down his as sailant with a stick which he was carrying, but fearing that the other was not alone, he immediately took to flight across the fields and gave information to the police. The assailant got off, and has remained undiscovered. WHAT'S IN A NAME P—The fencing-master, who figured as the instructor of the:luckless Dillon, b lore his fatal duel with the Due de Grammont, bears the appropriate name of Gate-chazr, which, literally translated, means " spoil flesh."

A NEW POISON.—A singular occurrence has just taken place in Qued-el-Alleug, in Algeria, revealing the poisonous qualities of one of the most beautiful plants which adorn our gardens, viz., the Melia Azedaraacala, or head-tree, or Japan lilac, class Decandria, order Mon o- gynia, producing magnificent bunches of yellow berries, the pulp of whi c h, h owever , is decidedly E oisonous. The occurrence alluded to is this : —On the Bth inst. a drove of or y afterward s pigs belonging t o M. L es canne, of ti ned-el-Alleu g , was taken out into a field of clover to feed. Shortly many of them were seised with a sudden tremor, and then fell down as if struck with lightning. Upwards of st) . died on the first day, and 2 5 mor e eo n the second and third Upon inquiry it appeared thatthe s wine-herds themselves had administered a large qua n t ity of the noxious berries of the Melia to their animals. I n order to leave no doubt as oraarrt:clacouree o mes on o o f the f berries were admilistely fourto htunhrdeeredhgorgasm; afterwards; another in the to the cause of the disastetreer,d which died a half, and the third, being much f the night. The effects pro stronger, died of a narcotic poison. It is singular enough course of an ho i . doted were whichthose is insensible to many other poisons that the hog, an d will feeling • devour rattlesnak es without any meonve nience even from their deadly bite, should be so easily affected by the berries of the Melia ; and it is still more.re war kable that t he bark of the sam e plant is used as a sub stitute for Peruvian bark in intermittent fevers, while the leaves are vulnerary, vermifuge, and diuretic. The bead tree also yields gum and a kind of toddy, obtained by cut ting off the tip of the flowering bud, collecting the sap, and letting it stand a few hours to ferment. It then becomes a very palatable drink, provided it be drunk before it turns to vinegar, which in hot weather it does by evening tide, if drawn in the morning. The accounts to be submitted at the meeting of proprietors of the London and Chartered Bank of Australia on the sth December are of a fairly satis factory character, inasmuch as they show a balance of profit and loss for the half-year ending the 30th June last amounting to £46,000, which is about £lO,OOO more than was shown in the previous half year's accounts. The amount of capital on which dividend is to be paid having, however, been in creased to £1,000,000, the dividend is at the same rate as previously declared, viz., 4 per cent. for the half-year. £5,000 is proposed to be carried to the I reserved fund, and the balance to be carried for ward to next half-year is £9,526, the balance brought into the present account haying been £8,526: PUGILISM-(7HIS DAY).
