MONDAY. The Emperor takes frequent walks and feels no fatigue from the exertion. Biarritz is again talked of as the place to which he will resort for a change, and it is said that his departure will speedily follow that of the Empress. Among the on dits that abound respecting the Emperor is a story of his having insisted that the letter of Dr. X-- in the Reveil should be read to him, but he did not, it is added, attach any importance to its evil prognostications. The only excitement that now prevails seems to be some curiosity respecting the movements of Count Beust, who is said to contemplate a visit to St. Cloud. In all probability the interview between the Emperor and the Austrian statesman would have no other effect than that of consolidating the friendship between their respective countries, and the alarmists need not fear any disturbance on their part of the peace of Europe. The works of the interior of the Senate are now com pleted, and the chamber is being prepared for the Senatus-Consultum, whose sittings it has been settled shall henceforth take place in public. The Journal de Paris has published a list of tho papers seized in Paris from the Ist of September. It is a formidable one, and speaks badly for progress in a Liberal policy. The excluded papers belong to England, Germany, America, Russia, and Belgium. Besides this list the Cologne Gzaette has only been twice delivered to its French subscribers since the beginning of February, and the Etoile Beige is always excluded It is expected that Marshal Canrobert will replace General Flahault as Grand Chamberlain of the Legion d'Honneur. Marshal Canrobert will in this case be suc ceeded by General Paliko, who will not be replaced at Lyons. Prince Metternich returned yesterday evening from an excursion to Alsace. He has been charged• by his sove reign to felicitate the Emperor on his happy restoration to health. The Prince leaves Paris to-morrow for a visit to his possessions in Bohemia, and will not return till the end of October. M. la Tour du Moulin is preparing a new edition of his principal speeches, under the title of " Constitutional Questions." A preface will accompany the work, which will treat of the last Senatus-Consultum, and explain the origin of the Third Party and the reforms of the 19th of January. The Pattie alludes to the report that has been circulated by several journals, to the effect that the Garde Nationale will be shortly left without any efficacious organisation, and declares that it is entirely incorrect. It has been decided that the National Guard offers the best means for the defence of the country, and its principle will not be interfered with in any way. Some alterations may be made in the various details, but no fundamental change is anticipated. There is a dearth of news to-day, a general dulness which even the angry discussions respecting the opening of the Corps Legislatif cannot enliven. The paper war on that subject still continues. In the Libertd M. de Girardin threatens terrible consequences from the delay, and quotes the words of M. Rouher in convoking the extraordinary session of June. The ex-Minister declared that it was wise and politic not to wait till the latest date, the 26th of October, to convoke the Chambers, in order to remove as soon as possible all uncertainty respecting the validity of the elections. This M. Rouher affirmed was the only object of the Government in convoking the Juno session. The number of sittings in the summer was not sufficient to fulfil the constitutional obligations of the Chamber, and M. de Girardin, who has always awkward dates and inconvenient historical illustrations at his pen'r point, reminds the Ministry that they are repeating in September :1869 the mistake which in January 1843 cost Louis Philippe and his grandson their throne. The Patrie is of course equally ready with arguments :on the other side, and declares that since the Corps Legislatif has actually assembled and has pronounced upon the validity of two hundred elections, the formalities prescribed by the Senatus Consultum of February 1867 have been complied with, and there has been no infraction of the constitution. The Patrie is, how ever, driven to use the argument that if the deputies received the indemnity of 2,400 f. awarded in respect of the extraordinary session, that is a sufficient proof that the session was actual and legal. Nobody doubts tho fact of the Chambers having assembled in June, or of their having transacted some business, but unluckily the details of the abrupt dismissal of the deputies are too fresh in the minds and memories of Parisians for these specious arguments to have much weight. I hear that a project for annexing to the department of the Seine-et-Oise some of the rural communes now be longing to the department of the Seine has been submitted to the Council of State. The reason alleged for this alter tion is that the electors of these communes have at present no qualification for sending their representatives to the Conseil General. I understand, however, that the real motive is to diminish, if possible, the hostile element in the electoral department. The antagonism of the neigh bouring department would be, however, increased by th e transfer, and the Seine-et-Oise has already shown itself to be none too favourable to official candidates. In reference to official manoeuvres, I may mention that the nomi nation of M. do Barthe as sub-prefect of Grasse— one of the best sub-prefectures of the second class—has given rise to some comment. M. de Barthe has not been long in the public service, but he is the son-in law of M. Sencier, formerly Prefect of the North and Director-General at the Ministry of the Interior. M. de Barthe's appointment was ingeniously introduced among a host of other nominations, but the sharp-eyed Parisians detected it, and at ones concluded that M. Sencier antici pates striking changes in the Ministry of the Interior. Considering the reactionary tendency of M. de Forcade, this would not, perhaps, be matter for regret.

Apriland Qot 1.09 Jl2 113 1111 CENTRAL CRIMINAL CO wer—This Day. ' William Walker Whepley was indicted for obtaining £l,OOO for fraud; there was also another indictment charging tho prisoner with forgery. It appears that the prisoner went on the sth of August to the Castle and Falcon, Ahlersgate-street, and from thence he wrote to Messrs. Simpson and Mason, timber merchants, asking that a person from the firm might attend him. This was done, and the prisoner then said ho was about to rsceive a largo quantity of timber from America, and that he wanted an advance on the bills of lading. Subsequently Mr. Mason, one of the firm, visited the prisoner, and after some negotiations ho advanced the prisoner £l,OOO. On the arrival of the ship Napoleon, it was found there was no timber aboard, and such was the case when the other three vessels arrived, all of which had been represented as bringing the prisoner timber. Prior to getting the one thousand pounds theprisonor handed to Mr. Mason a letter purporting to come from a correspondent in America. On the 30th of August the prisoner was taken into custody, where he was known as Mr. Walker, and on the premises being searched £419 iu gold and £l2O worth of jewellery were found . Some of the notes given to the prisoner had not been cashed, and it had been since discovered that the prisoner had gone to America. The prisoner was sentenced to seven years' penal servitude. John James Gibbs was indicted for forging and uttering a cheque for £4OO. It appeared the prisoner was a clerk in the employ of Mr. John Draper, a merchant, carrying on business in London-wall, and he managed to abstract a blank form from his master's cheque book, which he filled up for £4OO, and succeeded in getting the money, and on the forgery being discovered he, by hints and insinuations, endeavoured to fix the forgery on a fellow clerk. Mr. Montague Williams said the evidence had been so conclusive that he could not serve the .prisoner in any way by addressing the jury for him. A verdict of 0 Guilty" was at once returned. The Recorder said the case had been as clearly proved as it possibly could be, and it was greatly aggravated by the endeavour the prisoner had made to fasten the guilt upon another person, one whom he (the prisoner) had previously deeply injured, and who had forgiven him. He then sentenced the prisoner to 12 years' penal servitude. James Redburn was indicted for endeavouring to obtain by fraud a large quantity of copper from a metal dealer in Drury-lane, named Harrison. The prisoner had formerly been in the employ of Mr. Hill, but had quitted his service. The forged order for the goods was first presented, the goods wore packed and delivered, and about seven in the same evening the pri soner went to the place of business of Mr. Harrison, and gave in payment of the goods a cheque, which, on being presented, was returied marked "no account." The pri soner said he had been employed by other persons to got the goods, but he did not know who they were. The cashier of the London and County Bank said the cheque had been taken from a book given to a person who had closed his account, and as many as 16 cheques from the same book for £3OO had been presented by tradesmen who had been defrauded. The jury found the prisoner guilty. A previous conviction having been proved against the prisoner, the Recorder sentenced him to seven years penal servitude. A person in the gallery, on hearing the sentence, bawled out "Good bye Bill." The grand jury have returned a true bill against Ninian Craig, late governor of Pentonville Prison, for felony. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-71.is Day. NIGHT CAB flonszs.—Harry Oakley, cabdriver, badge 13,073, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with cruelly working a horse in an unfit state. Sergeant Hare, 4 0, said that about 4 o'clock that morn ing he was passing the cabstand in Davies-street when ho saw a horse attached to the cab, and on examining it he found that it was in a totally unfit condition for work. He woke up the prisoner, who was asleep, and on asking him whether he know the condition of the horse ho said he did, that it was in good condition, and could carry any weight and go any distance. He then took the prisoner into custody. Tho prisoner on the 19th of May was fined 40a. or a month, and his then master was also fined 40s. or a month for cruelty to a horse. Mr. Andrews, the chief officer of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, described the con dition of the horse as very bad, stating that both knees had been cut, that there was a wound over the coronet and that another wound had been blackened over to pre vent it being observed, but that the blood from it trickled on to one of the horse's hoofs. Sergeant Hare said the prisoner told Lim he had had the horse out since 9 o'clock the previous night. Mr. Tyrwhitt, after making some severe remarks on the prisoner's want of feeling, ordered him to pay 20s. or 14 days, and on the application of the society's officer granted a summons against the owner of the horse.

OUT OP ONE'S LATI TUDE. —William Paxton, a quiet looking man, was charged wick being drunk and dis orderly. Police-constable Richard Freeman said he was walking along Cheyne-walk, Chelsea, yesterday afternoon, when he passed the defendant, who was drunk. Defendant called after him, but he paid no attention, and turned on one side. Defendant rushed ater him, and seizing him asked why he did not answer him, telling him that as a policeman it was his duty to do so. He told defendant he was intoxicated and recommended him to go home, but he refused, questioning his right to advise such a course. He refused to go away, and then complainant took him into custody. Defendant, in answer to the charge, admitted his drunkenness, but declared the policeman had said more than he ought. He (defendant) finding himself "out of his latitude," asked tho policeman the way to where he lived, when he refused to give him the required informa tion, and pushed him away, telling him to go home as he was drunk, and then took him in charge. He hoped the magistrate would overlook the circumstance, as he lived at Camberwell, and was "out of his latitude." Mr. Self() told him he always fined people for getting drunk in the middle of the day. Fined be. or five days. It is reported that Mr. Rose, Finance Minister of Canada, is to take a position at the head of an American banking house, to be opened in London, in account with Jay Cooke and Co. It is also said that a seat is to be ob tained for Mr. Rose in the British House of Commons. Another report is that Mr. Rose has become a member of the long-established firm of Morton, Burns, and Co., of London, represented in New York by Morton, Bliss, and Co. The Wall Street Journal makes the announcement, and we understand with truth, that the London branch of the American Firm of Morton, Bliss, and Co. That paper adds, " The partnership of Clapp and Grinnell, bankers and brokers, has expired by limitation, and Mr. Clapp has retired. The business will be continuedby George B. Grinnell and Joseph C. Williams, under the name of George B. Grinnell and Co. Horace F. Clark who has contributed $lOO,OOO, continues a special partner." There is also a report in Now York on the strength of a private letter received in Montreal that Jefferson Davis intends to take up his residence permanently in the United Kingdom, and it is added that the accounts of his ill health have been greatly exaggerated. " Now I shall die !" was the exclamation at Bos ton of a young lady admirer of tho Ilarvards, on hearing the news of their defeat.—Mark Twain, at the Parker House, Boston, rang for "a copy of the laws of Massa chusetts," "to see if there was anything to prevent him from drinking ice-water."—The first chapter in a Western novel has the following:—" All of a sudden the fair gill continued to sit on the sand, gazing upon the briny deep, on whose heaving bosom the tall ships went merrily by, freighted—ah! who can tell with how much of joy and sorrow, and pine lumber and emigrants, and hopes and salt fish." The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight was 1081 per cent. on the 13th inst. At this rate there would be a loss on the tranqpiission of gold front the United States. 105 107 97 10J 96 99 48 107 110 G 3 72 THE WRECK REGISTER AND (WART FOR 1868. As the year rolls round, and in the midst of great storms, this sad tidings of disasters at sea, the Wreck Register, makes its appearance, and brings afresh to our recollection the scenes of desolation witnessed on too many parts of our coast last winter ; and certainly there was probably never published by the Board of Trade a more doleful though instructive record of ship .vrecks in one year than the one that Las been issued within the past few days. Yet it is satisfactory to fißd that no gales of re markable duration and violence occurred during the past year, such as took place in 1866 and 1867 ; and that the number of wrecks is accordingly less than in those years. The records of the fearful storms of last January, when some half-dozen life boat houses were demolished, are not included iu this return ; but we fear that the accounts of those gales, when published, will be found more sad than any that have occurred within living memory, not excepting the storms that wrecked the Royal Charter and the ship London. It appears that the number of wrecks, casualties, and collisions from all causes on the coasts of the United Kingdom, and in the surrounding seas, re- Ported in 1868, is 1,747. This is fortunately 343 less than the number reported in 1867 (2,090), and 113 less than the number reported in 1866 (1860). It seems that the number of ships lost or damaged in the 1,747 wrecks, casualties, and collisions re ported in 1868, is 2,131, representing a registered tonnage of upwards of 427,000 tons. The number of ships in 1868 is less than the number in 1867 by 382. The number of ships reported is in excess of the number of disasters reported, because in cases of collision two or more ships are involved in one casualty. The following short statement shows the annual average of wrecks reported since 1850, divided into three periods of five and one of four years :-1850, 660; 1851, 1,269 ; 1852, 1,115; 1853, 832—making a total in those four years of 3,876 wrecks and casualties, and giving an average each year of 969. In 1854, 987; 1855, 1,141 ; 1856, 1,153 ; 1857, 1,143 ; and 1858, 1,170. Total in five years, 5,594, or an average annually of 1,118. In 1859, 1,416; 1860, 1,379 ; 1861, 1,494 ; 1862, 1,488 ; and 1863, I,664—giving a total in the five years ending 1863 of 7,441, and an average in every year of 1,488. In 1864, 1,390 ; 1865, 1,656; 1866, 1860 ; 1867, 2,090 ; and 1868, 1,747. Total for the five years to the end of 1868 of 8,743. The average number of wrecks annually in the same period being conse quently 1,748. It will thus be seen that the number of wrecks reported during 1868 is just below the average for the last five years, but is in excess of the average of all the years previous to that period. With the ex ception of the numbers reported in 1867 and 1866, the largest number of wrecks ever reported in one year is unhappily given to the past year. Of the 2,131 ships wrecked in 1868, 1,801 are known to have been ships belonging to Great Britain and its dependencies, with British certificates of registry, and 272 were foreign ships. Of the re maining 58 ships the country and employment are unknown. Of the total number of wrecks (1,747) reported in 1868, 379 were collisions, and 1,368 were wrecks and casualties other than collisions. Of these 1,363 wrecks and casualties other than collisions, 527 were wrecks resulting in total loss, and 'B4l were casualties resulting in partial damage more or less serious. The whole number of wrecks and casualties other than collisions reported in 1867 was 1,676 ; and that number was more than the number re ported in any year since 1858. But I,36B—the number of wrecks and casualties other than col lisions in 1868—is less than the number of wrecks and casualties in 1867 by 308. Of the 527 wrecks—i.e., total losses from causes other than collisions-265 happened when the wind was at force 9 or upwards (a strong gale), 71 arose from defects in the ship or in her equipments (and of the 71, no less than 46 appear to have foundered from unseaworthiness),-87 appear from the re ports made by the officers on the coasts to have been caused by inattention, carelessness, or neglect; and the remainder appear to have arisen from various other causes. Thus excluding collisions, 158 total wrecks last year are clearly and directly traceable to the carelessness and indifference of man. It is really a disgrace to us as a nation, to learn from this authentic record that the total number of ships that foundered, or were otherwise totally lost on our coasts from unseaworthiness, unsound gear, &c., in the last ten years, is 482; and the number of casualties arising from the same causes, during the same period, and resulting in partial damage, was 531. We have no record of the loss of life from these 'wrecks, but it must have been frightful. In 1863, of the collier class 989 vessels were lost; in 1864, 844 ; in 1865, 934 ; in 1866, 1,150 ; in 1867, 1,215 ; and in 1868, 1,014 ; making a total, in six years, of 6,146 vessels lost, in too many cases, from clearly preventible causes. The loss of life from these very disasters can only be counted by thousands! We appeal again to shipowners themselves to help the efforts and the noble work of the National Life-boat Institution, and, no less meritorious, that of the Board of Trade, in respect of its thoroughly efficient rocket apparatus, to reduce this death-roll by every means in their power. Riches gathered at the waste, apparently, of so much human life, cannot, one would imagine, yield to the possessor any lasting benefit. Apart from the untimely end of these 824 poor creatures, let us reflect for a moment on the widows and orphans and aged per sons and relatives who were thus made desolate in one short year; and these would have been quad rupled had it not been for the unceasing and successful exertions of the National Life-boat Institution, the Board of Trade, shore-boats, and other means, in saving last year alone the lives of thousands of shipwrecked sailors on our coasts. Nearly 90 lives were lost in fishing-boats alone. We trust the loss of life from fishing-boats will be diminished year by year as the qualities of the safety fishing-boats of the National Life-boat Insti tution become known and appreciated by our fisher men. It appears that there are at present 210 life-boats on the coasts of the United Kingdom belonging to the Royal National Life-boat Institution, and 40 to local boards. The rocket and mortar appa ratus stations now number 279, and are under the management of the Coast-guard and the Board of Trade. During the year 1868, and the first eight months of 1869, 938 lives (besides 31 vessels) were saved by the life-boats of the National Institution alone, and 558 by shore-boats and other means, for which it granted rewards. A sum of £3,968 was ex pended by the Institution in the same periad in rewards for saving life; and £33,000 on its various establishments round the coasts of the British Isles. In the presence of facts like these the Life-boat Institution need have no misgiving in respect to pecuniary support whilst it pursues vigorously and successfully the great and national objects for the promotion of which it was established. It is peculiarly encouraging to find that in pro portion as the sphere of the operations of the Institution has increased, its Committee of Manage ment and Officers become deeply sensible of their great and responsible duties, and of the high trust which the British public has reposed in them. Its local branches, and the sailors who are ever ready to man the life-boats, fully participate in this feel ing of responsibility ; and so long as this mutual feeling is maintained and fostered, the cause of suffering humanity cannot fail to gain by the well directed efforts of the Life-boat Institution. Prince Alfred does not seem to have won golden opinions at Honolulu. The English residents are said to have been annoyed at the Duke's refusing to receive them, and all, but more especially the missionaries, were disgusted at the disgraceful and obscene Hulahula dance being part of the performance given by the Governor, ut tended by the King and Dowager Queen, but no white peo ple, except the officers of the ship and navy,and many half caste ladies who were invited without their husbands. The Alta California says :—" The impression left on the minds of thinking people is certainly not favourable, and it is lamentable to see a Government squandering four thou sand dollars per day on such a toy while there are thou sands starving in England.", SfORTIIiG INTELLIGENCE—This Day HAMPTON AUTUMN MEETLNG—THIs DAY.

SINGULAR RUNNING AND TROTTING &LATCH AT YORK.— On Friday morning a singular match took place at York, Mr. Stabler, jun., of Clifton, undertaking to leave the White Horse Hotel, Coppergate, and proceed on foot to his father's stable, at the extreme end of Burton Stone-- lane, a distance of a mile and 540 yards, and thence, after saddling, bridling, and mounting his father's pony, return' at a trot to the White Horse Hotel, whence he had set out, and accomplish the distance in 15 minutes. The stake was £lO, and the feat was accomplished in 13 min. 40 sec. TURF Nxws IN PARIS.—The weather has been dead against the supporters of the Paris Mutuels during the last few days, and they have been quite in a fog regarding the latest news of the cracks, so far as it could be fur nished from England. The gale of Sunday last so inter rupted telegraphic communication that the despatches front this country were forwarded by rail, and delivered by the post. Monday night's despatches arrived in Franca at eleven o'clock; the messages sent on Tuesday night did. not reach Paris until seven o'clock on Wednesday morning THE GREAT CAVE OF EASTERN NEVADA.--Eighty five miles to the south-west of White Pine, in one of the lowes foothills of the Shell Creek range, is locatedthe great cave of Eastern Nevada. Its direct situation is a singular freak of nature, the ridge in which it is located extending a mile and a. half out into the valley, and at no point will it exeeed 60 feet in height. A story is current that at the time the followers of Joe Smith were daily expecting an open rup ture with the United States Government, this cave was known to the high chief and elders of the Mormon Church, and that they brought all their plate and treasure and secreted them in some of the many chambers of this cavern. It was first discovered by a white man (Mormons not in-. eluded in this country's interpretation of the meaning of that phrase), in or about March, 1866. Being unprepared with the neoessary lights and safeguard twine they did not venture in far. Indians hold it in superstitious horror, and their account of "heap Injuns " going far in and never returning, and one old Indian, who is styled by the white settlers the " Cave Indian," a groat many moons ago going far in with a number of his tribe, and that they travelled a long time and finally came to a gushing stream of water, on the banks of which grew evergreens and beautiful flowers, and that a great many Indians lived near by who had dwarf ponies and beautiful squaws. Ac cording to him, this Indian did not like to live in the well of mother earth, but would rather "chase the ante lope over the plain," snare the rabbit and spear the spotted trout, so when ail were lost in sleep he stole away, and after a long time, suffering much, he finally, more dead than alive, reached into daylight and re joiced. This is firmly believed by the Indians, and even now it is only when the storm is more severe that one will drag his limbs just inside the protection of the hanging wall, and while there will fairly shake with fear. The entrance would hardly be noticed by travel lers, it being very low and continuing some twenty feet, then it gradually grows higher and broader. Many of the chambers are of great size, the most interesting one being styled dancing-hall. This apartment is at least 60 by 80 ft., and 40 ft. in height ; the floor is of fine sand stone and vary even ; convenient to it are smaller apart monts,styled the ladies' dressing-room and a refreshment saloon ; and near by the most singular spring, with nice tast ing water, gushes up through crevices in the rock. Further in the darkness increases, and the ceilings of many of the chambers are literally covered with stalactites of various shapes and forms. Stalagmites also are thick on the floors. It is not known what distance this subterraneous passage extends, but parties have been iu four thousand feet with out coming to the end of the main passage ; a deep cut or jump there prevents one fr om going further. It is pro posed by persons living near the cave, at no distant, go in fully prepared, and cross any and every thing,dao yt or find its close.--Shernianteivn (Ner.) Telegraph. A correspondent of the Boston Advertiser, writing front Mt. Desert, tells the following: An excited visitor begins the colloquy :—"Seo here, landlord, I want a pick axe!" "Why, sir, there is not such a thing about th 3 house." "Give me a spade then, a shovel, a hoe—any thing I can dig with." "But what on 'arth are you going to dig iu such a hurry." "We've been out walking in the woods back here, and wo have found three mounds which must be Indian graves, and full of relics. My party are waiting, and I want a spade right off." Bless you,: soul, sir, them ain't no iujuns. That's where old Mr. Higgins's three children are buried. For pity's sake don't dig up their bones." w 0 90 60 2 1 60 40 75 2 6 60 26
