MONEY MARKET. CITY NEWS—YESTERDAY. The directors of the Alliance Bank of London and Liverpool have this day made a call of £5 per share, ryable on the 61 h of October next. It has been announced that the interest on the Exchequer-bills which become payable next month will be reduced from its present rate of 3 per cent. to 21 per cent. The measure is a natural result of the low terms now current in the discount market, and is desirable not only for the benefit of the re venue, but also to prevent these securities from at taining a premium that would render them less eli gible for ordinary banking purposes. Looking at the number of competing securities in the form of railway debentures, iszc., it is not expected that any reduction below 21 per cent. will be witnessed, whatever may yet be the increase in the abundance of money. About £213,000 in gold, chiefly Russian, was bought by the Bank to-day. The following are the rates of discount in the principal continental cities, viz.: Paris, Hamburg, and Berlin, 3 per cent. ; Vienna and St. Petersburg, 5 ; Frankfort and Brussels, 21; Turin, 41 ; and Amsterdam, 3 per cent. The demand for money to-day in Lombard-street was only moderate. The rates for good bills ranged from Ito 2 per cent. At the Bank of England 1 the applications were below the average. At Paris to-day the Three per Cent. Rentes opened at 68.15, and closed at the same quotation both for money and the account, being -} per cent. better than yesterday. At Vienna yesterday a fresh fall of to per cent. took place in the Austrian funds, and the ex change rose from 129 to 130.75. CITY NEWS-THIS DA-Y. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The City of Manchester, from New York, has brought £40,000 in specie, and the Arabia £5,100. Since Monday last the imports of specie, includ ing the above, have amounted to £807,000, and the exports to £564,000. Notice has been given that tenders for bills of exchange on London to the extent of 45,00,000 rupees will be received until the 3d September next. • To-day a call of 10s. per share, amounting in the aggregate to £13,000, became due on the Victoria Station and Pimlico Junction Railway 41 per cent. preference shares. The directors of the Alliance Bank of London and Liverpool have made a call of £5 per share, payable on the 6th Oct. Tbe traf f ic receipts of the Ottoman Railway for the week ending the 17th inst. amounted to £270 against £159 last year. Two O'CLOCK. There is a moderate inquiry for money, and the rates continue easy. A further decided improvement has taken place in the aspect of the English Stock Market, and a rise of K per cent. has been established, Consols being 931 4 for money and the 4th proximo. This movement has been occasioned by extensive pur chases, based upon the satisfactory condition of monetary affairs and the fineness of the weather. The New Threes and the Reduced have improved to 93fl ; Exchequer Bills are flat at 15s. to 20s. prem.; Bank Stock is firmer at 241; and India 5 per Cent. Loan at MI 109. Continued quietude has prevailed in the Foreign Market, but prices have in most instances shown an upward movement. Turkish 6 per Cents. have risen to 85 86 ; ditto, 1858, to 711 4 ; ditto New Loan Scrip, t o 1/. 11 dis. ; and the Consolides 33i 34. Venezuelan have advanced to 261 27 1 4; Italian to 68Z- 691, and Moorish to 943-. Portuguese Scrip is 21 2 prem. _ _ - In the Railway Share Market dealings have been very limited. Prices, however, have ex hibited more firmness. Great Easterns, Great -westerns, London and Blackwall, and South- Easterns have improved 55., ad London, Chatham, and Dover, and North British XI. The Foreign and Colonial lines show little change of importance. South Austrian and Lom bardo-Venetian realise 21 a ; Great Western of Canada 121 13 ; East Indian 1041, 1051, and Bom bay and Baroda 102 and 1021, Joint-stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are dull, without any change of importance to retard in values.

HEBREW OATIIS*-7'he newspaper reports of the proceedings at a coroner's inquest lately held :at the Lon don Hospital, when a Jury, chiefly 'consisting of Jews, at first objected to rece ivin g the evide nce o f th e house-sur geon, likewise a Jew, because he too k the oath bare-headed and on an English Bible, has on eiv - - tise to much contro versy in the Jewish community. On alturday last, how ever, the Rev. the Chief Rabbi presche - serm on at the Great :Synagogue, Duke's - p lace, when )2 declared that, according to Jewish law, a Jew should cover his head when taking an oath, as is the case with all religious acts, and should only swear on a Hebrew Bible, which alon e can be said to contain God's word in its purity.—Jewish Csiwonic/e. A priest, named Blache, formerly director of the religious schools of Toulon, has just been condemned to two years' imprisonment for e mbezzlement of the funds o f those establishments.

ANKS. POLICE-THIS DAY., MARLBOROUGH-STREET. OVERCROWDING OF OMNIBUSES.—TWO conductors in the employ of the GeLeral Omnibus Company attended to answer the complaint of Mr. Wm. Love, of the Royal So ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, for carry ing more passengers ou the outside of their omnibuses than the same were constructed to carry. The cases were proved by two of the officers of the society, and the defendants fined ss. and costs ; the magis trate remarking that carrying more passengers than the proper number was cruelty to the horses. Mr. Love said the object of the society in taking up the cases was simply to protect the animals, it being obvious to all that these vehicles were allowed by law to carry a num bsr sufficient to tax the powers of the strongest horses. The committee of the society had determined to proceed against all offenders under the Metropolitan Stage Carriage Act, notices having been sent to all omnibus proprietors warning them of the society's intention. CRISIAL PALACE. The month of September opens well for the Crystal Palace. With an excess of visitors, two hundred thousand beyond any former year, it steadily advances in public esti mation, and up to the period of closing the International xhibition, it will no doubt continue the same progressive increase which has marked the past two months. One cause for this .is owing to the varied attractions put before the public. As these are always announced a week beforehand, visitors have their choice of the particular spe ciality most suited io their tastes. It is not to be inferred, that . the peculiir and unrivalled attractions of the Crystal Palace proper, so to speak, are on the wane; on the con trary, the admiration and gratification expressed by the thou sands of foreigners and strangers who visit it daily are un bounded, and as these return to their respective homes, they unquestionably add greatly to the permanent popularity of this thoroughly English institution. As, however, a little spacial attraction suits various tastes there is no doubt that the variety brought to bear on each week adds many to those who would visit Sydenham without any specialty beyond those comprised in the building and beautiful grounds. In the coming week, on Monday and Saturday, the whole of the Great Fountains will be played. These never fail to attract large numbers. On Monday Mr. Coxwell will also make an ascent in his great balloon,which has acquired so much celebrity from its ascents with Mr. Glaisher, for the scientifio objects connected with the British Association. Mr. Coxwell's late exhibitions at the Crystal Palace have done much to popularise aoros tation, several hundreds of persons having availed themselves of the recent opportunities of ascending for a few hundred feet. As the car of this great balloon is of almost omnibus size, and will contain sixteen persons, it is really a very commodious affair, and it is not surprising that applications to accompany Mr. Coxwell in his aarial trips are becoming frequent as blackberries at this season of the year. Monday being likewise the day fixed for the excursions of the South London Foresters, the combined attractions will cause a large assemblage. The great Autumn Show of flowers and fruit will be held at the Palace on Wednesday and Thursday, the 3rd and 4th of September. The reputation the Crystal Palace has acquired for its , great flower shows is well known. Being always under the roof of the Palace they are unaf fected by vicissitudes of weather. Those which have been already held during the present year have been unusually successful. That the present show may be no exception to the present popular rule which is being so successfully carried out, the charge for admis— sion to the Palace on the days of the flower show will not be increased, but continue at the usual one shilling rate, and thus, all classes may have the opportunity of partici pating in the pleasure of these great displays. Blondin, whose popularity has evidently been immensely increased by the unhappy notoriety attaching to displays in imitation of his particular vocation, will walk the high rope over the fountains on Tuesday, and give one of his equally attrac tive, if not equally exciting, low rope exhibitions on the Friday. Commencing with the lst of September, season tickets, admitting to the Palace up to the let of May, 1863, will be issued at half-a-guinea each. There is always a large sale of these tickets, which is not to be wondered at when it is known that they admit to all the varied attractions of the Palace for eight months. As the excursion rates by the various railways have been put at very low rates, during the period the International Exhibition remains open, to induce heads of large firms in the provinces to send their workmen and others to visit the International Exhibition, the directors of the Crystal Palace and the Brighton Railway have agreed to issue joint tickets for conveyance to and fro and for admission to the Palace at the lowest excursion rates, viz., one shilling, provided that the party belong to one firm, and are not less than one hundred in number. Hitherto this low rate has been confined to excursions of one thousand and upwards ; its extension so as to include the numerous smaller excur • sions now converging to London for the Exhibition, will enable many to enjoy a sight of the Crystal Palace and its world-wide attractions, at an almost nominal cost. On Tuesday, 9th September, the great Brass Band Con. test will be held at the Palace. Forty-nine of the principal champion district bands of England have entered as com petitors for the prizes to be awarded. The effect of such a force of brass instruments, aided by a large staff of regi mental drummers and buglers, when combined in the great Handel Orchestra, must be heard to be believed. The con test will commence in the grounds of the Palace at ten o'clock. The combined bands will perform in the great Orchestra at three, at the conclusion of which, the selected bands will contest for the prizes, which will be afterwards presented to their respective winners in front of the Orches tra. Much interest is excited throughout the populous dis tricts to which these bands belong. During the month of August upwards of 400,000 persons entered the Palace, by far the larger proportion of whom it is estimated visited it for the first time. MARKETS---THIS DAY. COVENT GARDEN.

Police-constable Stone, 108 B, said that about 12 o'clock last night he was on duty in Knightsbridge when he saw the prisoner lying on the ground sound asleep. He awoke him, when he found that he was intoxicated. Witness asked him to go away, and offered to assist him a short distance, when he observed that he would see him (the constable) first, He then struck him. Complainant then laid hold of him for the purpose of proceeding with him to the station-house, when the prisoner bit him. Mr. Ingham—Bit you ? Constable—Yes, sir. He bit me on my hand. (The constable showed the wound.) Mr. Ingham (to the prisoner)—What have you to say to the charge? Prisoner—l have no recollection what I did. I was so drunk. Mr. Ingham—You are committed for seven days. The prisoner was then locked up. ANOTHER VIOLENT ASSAULT ON A CONSTABLE.—John Reffade was charged with assaulting B 256. It appeared that about ten o'clock the previous night the prisoner and some more men were causing a disturbance in Pimlico, when the officer interfered. He was immediately assaulted by the whole of them, the prisoner being the most active of the gang. Two gentlemen, who were passing, took the part of the officer. One of them got possession of his staff, and threatened to knock down the constable's assail ants, when they desisted. The prisoner was then conveyed to the station. house. He was fined 10s., or seven days' imprisonment. SOUTHWARK. BURGLARY.—George Smithers and William Davis war* charged this morning with being found on the premises of Messrs. Morton and Ferguson, boot and shoe manufac turers, Bermondsey, New. road, and also with attempting to steal therefrom property to the amount of £lOO. From the evidence it appeared that Sergeant Peirce, 7 M, was on duty with 273 M about four o'clock on the morning of the 22d inst. at Bermondsey New-road, and as he was passing the house in question, he heard a match struck, which excited his suspicion, and ho watched the premises. He saw the two prisoners come out, but Smithers perceiving him rushed back and closed the door of the house. Smithers had a large bundle on his shoulder. He effected an entrance into the premises with his brother constable, and near the back door they found three large bundles of boots and shoes packed up and ready to be con veyed away. Having searched the premises they found the two prisoners crouched up in the corner of a back room, and he picked up the jemmy now produced. Ho investi gated the premises closely, and ascertained that an entrance had been made at the back part as some of the fastenings of the windows had been forced aside. The prosecutor was out of town at the time, tut one of them hal subsequently, identified the property at the station-house. Mr. Lewis, jun., on 'behalf of the prisoners, contended that there was no ground for a conviction against his clients, as they were merely employed on the premises in removing the goods by the instructions of a gentleman who promised them a sovereign for their trouble, and stated that the prosecutors would have shortly to appear before the Bankruptcy Court. The prisoners were remanded for a week in order to enable the police to make inquiries respecting them. THAMES. ROBBERY BY A SERVANT GIRL.—THE BAD SPECI MENS FROM FEMALE REFORMATORIES.—Ann Jane Welch, a girl about 18 years of age was brought before Mr. Selfe charged with stealing three blankets, seven pillow cases, a shawl, various other articles of female :wearing apparel, a sovereign, 7s. or Bs. in silver, and other property and moneys. Mrs. Ellen Donovan, a young widow lady, residing with her sister at No. 3, Archer-terrace, Limehouse : stated that the prisoner was in her service for a fortnight only. She took her from a Reformatory School where she had been for five years. The prisoner was the third servant she had taken out of Reformatories, and they had all robbed her. Mr. Selfe—l am very sorry to hear such a bad account of reformatory girls. I have been given to understand they have turned out good servants in many instances. Mrs. Donovan proceeded to state that while taking a nap on the afternoon of the 19th iast. the' prisoner absconded, taking with her a guinea she had given her to obtain a post-office order, 6s. or 7s. which was taken out of her pocket, a shawl, two chemises, a petticoat, three blankets and various other articles. John Owen, 305 K, said he apprehended the prisoner yesterday afternoon, and found in her box a portion of the stolen property. He then produced a large bundle contain ing various articles, which Mrs. Donovan identified as her property. The prisoner, in defence, said she was reprimanded by her mistress for neglect, and being in one of her bad tem pers could not do her work, and absconded with the money and goods. 96 I Mr. Selfe—You are committed for trial. 1051 104 109 x d I]f 231 3 85 18 171 20 78} 8 9/ 5} 19 20 i t lit EXTENSIVE FIRES.-THIS DAY. About half-past 5 a.m. a fire of an alarming character and attended with a great loss of property, happened on the premises belonging to Mr. Edward Small, a cooper, carrying on business at No. 1, Camden-row, Camden town. Owing to so many buildings standings so close it was feared that the whole would have been levelled with the ground. An instant alarm was raised, and intelligence sent off to the Royal Society's escape stations, and also to the various engine depots of the London Brigade. In a very brief period four engines of the London Brigade, and the engines of the North Western Railway, as well as two of the Royal Society's escapes, were in attendance. When this force arrived the whole of Mr. Small's cooperage was found in a regular blaze, and the fire had seized upon. the premises of Mr. Frimley, the coffeeshop keeper adjoining, and also of Mr. Hall's, the zinc plate worker. All present at once went to work, under the direction of Mr. Fogo, the acting superintendent during Captain Shaw's absence from London, and Engineer Parmer. Fortunately the supply of water was most abundant, but in spite of the exertions of the firemen the work of devastation continued, and it took a considerable time before the firemen and pariah engineers could get the mastery over the flames, and not' until Mr. Small's cooperage was burnt out and the roof destroyed. Two rooms on the ground floor of the premises of Mr. Frimley are also burnt out, end the roof and parlour severely burnt, and a great amount of damage has been done to to the property of Messrs. Hall and Binns, the zinc workers. The origin of the fire is enveloped in ob scurity. Fortunately, Mr. Small was insured in the West-' minster Fire-office, Mr. Frimley was insured in the Phoenix Office, and Messrs. Hall and Binns were also in sured in the same office. At an early hour in the morning a telegraph message was received by Mr. Henderson, the present acting superintendent of the D district of fire brigade, of a fire raging at Manor Farm, Lee, in Kent. That offi cer at once started to the scene with a couple of engines and a powerful body of firemen. Upon reaching the spot they found that a large rick of hay, containing seventy waggon, loads were enveloped in a broad sheet of flame. The property belonged to Mr. Cardwell, a farmer. The firemen went to work in a most praiseworthy manner, and at length succeeded, by working the engines from a pond, in getting the flames subdued. The damage, however, is very considerable. Mr. C. White, of the County Fire-office, where the property was insured, was early in attendance, and from his inspection, and that of the brigade, there is no doubt entertained that the fire arose from the spontaneous ignition of the hay. Another destructive conflagration took place in the pre mises belonging to Mr. W. T. Walters, a cabinetmaker situate at 8, Gloucester-street, Margaret-street, Hagger stone. The flames commenced in the workshops, which, owing to the highly inflammable nature of their contents, were quickly enveloped in a huge sheet of flame, The parish and brigade engines, under the direction of Acting-Superin tendent Bridges and Engineer Barton, having arrived, and a good supply of water having been obtained, the fire was ultimately extinguished, but not until the workshops were burned down, and the contents consumed. The origin of the fire is also unknown, and it could not be learned during the excitement which prevailed whether the sufferer was insured or not. Mr. Lynall Thomas has induced the War De partment to give him permission, at the cost of about £2,000, to manufacture a gun of 16 tons' weight, on his principle, at the.Uoyal Arsenal, Woolwich.—Army and Navy Gazette.

The important post of captain of the training ship Britannia is abOut to be vacant by the retirement of of Captain Robert Harris. It is to be hoped that the Duke of Somerset will be guided in his selection of a successor to to Captain Harris, by a desire to secure the services not only of an officer who is well adapted by his scientific acquire ments to superintend the education of our naval cadets, but is qualified by the possession of such a stock of the art of discipline as to keep them well i 4 hancl,-4rmy and ,Wavy qqzffk. LITERATU.RE. The Autobiography of the Emperor Charles the Fifth. R cently discovered in the Portuguese Language by Baron Kervyn de Lettenhove, *nem bar of the Royal Academy of Belgium. The English translation by Leonard Francis Simpson, ALR.S.L. Longman and Co. 'Phis autobiography, the importance of which, in an historical point of view, needs no comment, is a brief and simple narrative, by the Emperor, of the principal events which took place in his reign between 1515 and 1548, and is marked by a total absence of display, either rhetorical or descriptive. That he wrote such a work is clear from the testi mony of his secretary, William Van Male, who, in a letter addressed by him on July 17, 1550, to Sig neur de Preet, said, " In the leisures of his naviga tion on the Rhine, the Emperor, having plenty of leisure time on board ship, undertook to write his journeys and expeditions from the year 1515 up to the present moment. •The work is admirably polished and elegant, and the style attests great strength of mind and eloquence. Surely, I should not easily have imagined that the E m p eror pos sessed such qualifications, as he has avowed to me himself that he was indebted for nothing to educa tion, and that he had acquired them entirely by his own meditations and labour. As regards tho weight and value of the work, they consist especially in that fidelity and that gravity to which history owes its credit and its power." The work appears to have been completed, as far as it goes, at Augs burg in 1551, after which the Emperor took up his residence at Inspruck, whence he was compelled to decamp precipitately during the night, lest he should fall into the hands of his enetaiies. " Under these grave circumstances, Charles V., threatened in his authority and in his liberty, was concerned about the fate reserved to his memoirs, in which he had explained the secrets of his policy, and judged the faults of the Protestant princes of Germany. He thought it prudent to intrust them to some devoted servant, who could take them to Spain beyond all danger, and he added a few lines addressed to his son, in which he revealed to him the importance of this deposit, which was not to be opened until at an epoch, or on an eventuality which he meant to in dicate. In the midst of the alarms and emotions of Inspruck those lines remained incomplete ; but despite the French and Turkish galleys which were cruizing in the Mediterranean, the mission was faithfully executed, and the narrative dictated by Charles V. to Van Male was remitted (everything at least announces it) to the young Prince of Spain." The translation here given is not taken from the original manuscript, the existence of which at pre sent is problematical ; but from a Portuguese manu script in the Imperial Library at Paris, which bears the following title (translation) :—" The History of the Most Invincible Emperor Charles V., King of Spain, composed by his Imperial Majesty (or his Cesarean Majesty, as Brantome styles him), as is shown by the paper on the following page, trans , lated from the French, and from the original at Madrid in 1620." Judging from internal evidence, we should say that Mr. Simpson's version gives a very fair idea of the original ; the style of which will be sufficiently indicated by the following ex tract from the commencement of the work : , 6 After the death of King Philip, there were at intervals various wars in the States of Flanders, which we call the Netherlands. One of these wars was that undertaken by the Emperor Maximilian, in concert with King Henry of England, against Louis, King of France. By the prudence as well as by the habitual bravery of the Emperor, the French were defeated whilst endeavouring to relieve Tero mule. After the capture of that city, siege was laid to Tourney, which shortly afterwards surrendered. The re sult was, that the Archduke Charles, gi andson of the Em peror, proceeded to Tournay, which was then in the hands of Sing Henry, and to Lille, where he had his first inter view with the same King, and where, amongst other things, his emancipation was discussed and resolved upon. This took place in the year 1515, during which he was im mediately recognised as Lord of the said States of Flanders. Shortly afterwards the same Archduke sent ambassadors to King Francis of France, who at the same period had inhe rited that kingdom, on the death of King Louis. These ambassadors negotiated and concluded peace. In the same year his Majesty visited a portion of the States of Flan • ders, and whilst making the visit, there arrived at the Hague, in Holland, M. de Vendome, sent by the King of France to ratify that peace. That portion of his States which he had not time to visit this year, was visited by him in the followine year, 151 G. and he hold his first Chapter of the Order of the Golden Fleece at Brussels. This was the year of the death of the Catholic King; and, dating from that moment, the Archduke assumed the title of King." 711 E NAVY. The new paddlewheel despatch vessel Psyche, 835 tons and 250-horse power, commissioned on Tuesday by Master Commander Petley, yesterday arrived at Greenhithe, to form a portion of the Royal squadron about to escort the Queen and the junior portion of the Royal family to Antwerp. The Victoria and Albert and the Osborne, having embarked the Royal family, will proceed to the Downs, where they will make fast for the night, and the remainder of the squadron will steam at slackened speed across the Channel and await their arrival. Admiralty instructions to be ob served, in order to enforce the strictest privacy, were yesterday issued at Woolwich, ordering a total exclusion of all visitors from the dockyard on Monday after 12 o'clock until the Queen's departure, not excepting officers in uniform. Sir Richard Dacres and his staff and Viscount Sydney, Lor•d- Lieutenant of the county, are alone to be granted admission, and the departments of the yard will suspend operations during the after part of the day to insure the strictest possible privacy on her Ma jesty's arrival. The baggage and Royal carriages will bo despatched to Woolwich at an early hour on Monday, and will be hoisted on board the Black E3gle by means of the hydraulic machinery at the Royal Arsenal T Pier, and all official attendance of the authorities will be dispensed with. The Black Prince iron frigate, Capt. J. F. B. Wainwright, was undocked at Portsmouth yester day, and anchored at Spithead, in readiness to re sume her trial of speed at full boiler power at noon to-day. When in dock, on the water being pumped out, her bottom was found to be very foul in places, to an extent which probably caused her the loss of nearly a knot per hour in speed. To-day she re sumes her trial with a clean bottom, and the load weight on her safety-valve increased to an equality cvith that on the valve of the Warrior at her trial. The Amethyst, 26, the Iris, 26, and the Diamond, 27, belonging. to the sailing reserve fleet at Chat ham, have been placed at the disposal of the Em peror of China, in order that one of those vessels maybe purchased from the Admiralty, for use as a storeship for the steam flotilla about to be formed to operate in the Chinese waters. During yesterday and the previous day upwards of 100 tons of armour-plates for encasing the sides of the iron-clad frigate Royal Oak 50, were landed at Chatham dockyard from th© Thames Ironworks. The plates are all 41 inches in thickness, and of an average weight of 80 cwt. each. Before being affixed to the vessel's sides, they will be submitted to a rigid inspection, in order that any flaw w'f be detected. The Italian frigate Eurydice, 26 gu ns , captain. Ribotty, from Genoa on a cruise, as au instruction, ship, arrived at Falmouth on WednestittY evening, and on Thursday morni n g exchanged salutes with her Majesty's ship Russell , 60 , Caps. Hall, the Coast guard ship at that port. Mr. Griffiths, under who superintendence the var ious vessels of war se iected by the Admiralty t o be covered with yuntz's patent metal are being operated upon, attended at Chatham dock yard yesterday for the purpose of making the necessary arrangements for coating the Royal Oak with that metal, which is also to be fixed on the bottom of all the iron-built ships. The reports recei ve d from the Bombay, 80, and the Arethusa, 50 , b a th of which vessels were coated with the patent metal before quitting Chatham, being highly f a vourable as regards the wear of the new metal, have induced the Admiralty to direct it being ap plied to several other vessels now building. It is probable that it will be generally used in the navy. thus superseding the present copper sheathing. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—John R. Ryan, paymaster, to the Indus, for the Leopard ; Daniel R. Alcc'ck, Assist.-Surg., to the Resistance ; Francis Braddon, ,Assist.-Paymaster, to the Hawke; Thos. Suminco, engineer, to remain additional to the Asia; Sohn Rice, Ist class assist.-engineer, to the Asia, for Psyche ; Alfred Smith, Ist class assist.-engineer, to the Asia, for Psyche ; George Edwards, act i ng 2d. class engineer, to Asia, f or P syc h e; W . W . Web ber, Ist class assist.-engineer, to Asia, for Swinger; Archibald Gillies, engineer, to Dasher ; Alfred Wood, Ist class assist.-engineer, to Severn, for transfer to Pantaloon, when commissioned; Alex. Wilson, 2d class assist.-engineer, to Severn, for transport to Pantaloon, when commissioned ; A. Moreton, 2d class engineer, to Indus, as supernu merary. • _ 7HE ARMY. Three companies of her Majesty's regiment the Buffs, in command of Capts. Stewart, Cox, and Anley, went down to Woolwich from the Tower on Thursday, and are quartered in the Royal Artillery Barracks. The Buffs yesterday commenced the sentry and other duties of the garrison and relieved the Royal Marines in Arsenal. The 25th company of Royal Engineers, which has been doing duty at the Cape of Good Hope for a period of seven years past, will shortly return to head-quarters, Chatham, its period of service having expired. The next company on the rota for foreign service is the 22d, which, according to present arrangements, will proceed to China, orders having been received at head-quarters for the officers and men to hold themselves in readiness to embark for that destination. A detachment of Royal Engineers will shortly be despatched from head-quarters, Chatham, to New Zealand, for the purpose of being employed in engineering and surveying daties, and of relieving the Royal Engineers, who have been for some time past stationed at that colony. FROM THE GAZETTE OF LAST EVENING. FOREIGN-OFFICE, AUG. 28. Lord Russell has received the following despatch from. Dr. Baikie, in command of the Niger expedition : Bicla, Nusse, Central Africa, Feb. 26, 1862. My Lord,—l feel it my duty again, respectfully, to re quest your lordship to call the attention of those in Eng land interested in the supply of cotton, to the peculiar eligi bility of this portion of t. entral Africa as a future cotton field. Here there are no adverse interests, no speculative political parties to interfere :with our wishes, no monopo lists nor capitalists to raise prices. Three-fourths of the labouring population, whether free or slave, are at liberty to have their own farms, and to sell the bulk of their own crops. Thus, though the small farmer may himself be a slave, the larger his crops the larger his profits, and in. working hard be is not labouring by mere task, or simply for the benefit of his master, but for his own immediate behoof ; and thus, though a large part of the population of Boau and Nusse are slaves, the labour on the small farms is not strictly " slave labour." It is from these small farms that most of the cotton comes to the market, and it is these small farmers whom any de mand would stimulate. In Yoruba, more is produced by large traders, and there it has caused an increased demand and price for slaves ; but here it would have, if anything, an opposite result, as it would 'enable many of the present serf population to effect their freedom. I have, in a former despatch, shown how superior Sudan is, as a field for cotton, to the regions explored by Pr. Livingstone, alike from the greater proximity and superior navigability of the Niger to the Zambesi, as well as that here cotton is already i n a b un d ance, and cultivated by a people able and willing to work, and accustomed to its habits and rearing. Nothing farther is required but in creased demand, and means of purchase, cleaning, and ship ping ; the rest would speedily follow.—l have, &c., (Signed) Wat. BALFOIIIVBAISIE. WAR-OFFICE, AUGUST 29.
