:10:.EY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocic. The money market is assuming a more animated as well as a firmer appearance, chiefly in conse quence of the recent •operations in specie. Some extensive transactions have lately taken place both in gold and silver, the former metal being required for the Continent, and the latter for the East, the war in China necessitating extensive remittances on behalf of the English and French Governments ; and there is reason to believe that the drain will continue on an important scale, since, apart from exceptional shipments, there is likely to be an extensive demand for grain and other articles of food. Money will also be required for India, and the state of the Home finances, it appears, will probably lead to an issue of Deficiency Bills. Under these circumstances a continuance of easiness in the discount market can scarcely be expected, but at the same time there need be no immediate appre hensien of a return of pressure and stringency. A further sum of about £67,000 in gold was. withdrawn from the Bank of England yesterday. The steamer Ellora, which leaves tomorrow for Bombay, will take out £6,000 in gold, and £55,400 in silver. An active business was reported in the cotton market at Liverpool yesterday, and prices were in most instances rather higher. The sales amounted to 15,000 bales. The Ziba has arrived from China with 638,900 lbs. of tea. _ The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up to this day, are in round figures as under :- 1860. 1859.

West Midland West Hartlepool Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln 467 1 0 ,7 95 Edinburgh and Glasgow 6,737 6,431 Grand Trunk of Canada Great Western of Canada The above returns, with one or two exceptions, show a continued improvement.

On the South Eastern there is a decline of £7Ol, and on the Great Northern of £2,471. A moderate business has been transacted to-day in the market for Public Securities, but it has chiefly been connected with the settlement. Sales, however, have been effected, and increased depres sion has ensued, Consols being 921 for money, and 93 to 938 for the account. The New 3 per Cents. are 911 en div. ; the Reduced, 911 -a ex div. ; and Bank Stock is 2271 ex. div. ; India ditto remains at 2191; ditto New Loan at 1031 t and ditto 5 per Cent.

Russian 41 per Cents: are flat a 931 ; ditto 3 per Cents. at 65 ; and Venezuelan have receded to 23; but Spanish Deferred are firmer at 401 1. The Ocean Marine Insurance Shares are 11 2 rem.; the Thames and Mersey, d 7 prem. ; and the Universal, 1 a prem. The transactions in the Railway Share Market continued extremely limited, and prices generally sympathised with the heaviness in the English Funds. Caledonian, Eastern Counties, Lancashire and Yorkshire, North British, and South-Eastern have declined ss. ; East Anglian and North-Eastern (York), 10s. ; South-Western and North-Eastern (Berwick), 155.; and Great Northern, The Foreign and Colonial Markets have also been flat.

Brent, deputy .coroner for West Middlesex, instituted an inquiry in the boarcl room of Marylebone Workhouse on th e bod y ofa newly born male child, which was taken from t he water of the Regent's Canal, being sewn in an alpaca bag. Police-constable Haigh, No. 11, said that on Fri day last, about half-past two in the afternoon, be was passing over York-bridge, Regent's-park, when he saw a parcel floating on the water, about two yards distant from the bridge. He went to the bank. and succeeded in getting possession of the parcel. He undid it to see what it contained, when, to his horror and surprise the foot of a child presented itself to his vie The child was sewn u p in a bag of black alpaca, being the only covering. Qn finding what the parcel contained he at once con veyed it to Marylebone Workhouse. m .r .. N., F. Fuller, resident surgeon at Maryle bone'Workhouse, said he saw th e b o dy a little after th r ee on Friday afternoon. Th ere were no marks of external violence, but the skin showed signs of decomposition. It was a full-gro wn c hild, but rather light in wei g ht. It had been a ttended to at the birth , as the cord had been operat e d on by a skilful person , but subsequent to that it had b een neglected. Th e internal examination prov e d th at the child had lived , fe : upheld th the lungs were infl ated to the various tests .of the margins, and ful l y which was a c er t a i n indication. It had been s ome life. The bladder w as empty) time in the wate r , f or the brain was decomposed, and the bones of the con skull sufficient were separated. There was not ges the ch had been suf- tion of the lungs to say that f death was from focated. He believed th e cause o ild neglect after the first attention. A Juror—Do von think the ch i ld was sewn up n the bag alive can not say how Witness—lt might have been. I long it lived, but I saw nothing to prev ent a con tinuance of its life if it had been proper ly treated. The Deputy Coroner remarked upon t he fright ful increase' of the crime of infantici de, and l left the jury to decide upon their verdict. He thou gh t it was an alarming state of society , and someth in g should be done to suppress so fright ful an ev il . _ The Jury recurred to what they had h eard an d read in the newspapers, and agreed to a verdict of " Wilful murder against some person or persons unknown." SINGULAR - EVENT.--It Rill be recollected that recently two men wero shot through the head, at the Fort, Littlehampton, while at rifle practice, by a comrade snap- Ping his gun, as he had intended, at one of them, but the Piece, contrary to his belief, being loaded, the ball passed through the head of first one and then the other. It is not a little remarkable that both have recovered ; but, strange, to say, theman by whom the accident was produced has since died. S o depresse d was h e , an d so gre at had been the shock on his sy s t em, been the cause of the disaster that he could 4ot L at having be rallied,—BrishNn Guardian. SHARE IJIARKET.-(TIIIS DAY.)

ASSAULT ON A GENTLEMAN.—Catherine Keith, a low looking female, was charged with assaulting Mr. William H. Davies, gentleman, of 8, Albion-street, Hyde-park. The complainant said that between one and two that morning he called in at the Victory Tavern, Oxford-street, with a friend, and had scarcely been in the house a minute, when the prisoner, who was in company of other females, called him a " prig," and on his friend saying they would leave, the prisoner struck him in the face. His friend then left for the purpose of fetching a constable, upon which the prisoner struck him on the nose some severe blows, cover ing him with blood, scratched his face, pulled his hair, and tore his coat. He then gave her in charge. Mr. Wm. Eade, of 3, Adam-street West, confirmed a portion of the above, and said he was much annoyed by prisoner and her companions. 74 I) proved taking the prisoner into custody, and find ing the complainant bleeding from the nose arid mouth. The prisoner was very violent in her conduct. Mr. Tyrwhitt fined the prisoner 10s. or 14 days. ASSAULT ON A LICENSED VICTUALLER.—Two men, named Winspeare and Bates, were charged with assaulting Mr. Richardson, of Great St. Andrew-street, licensed victualler. Mr. Richardson was very roughly handled by Win speare, the other attempting to rescue Winspeare. Winspeare said he didn't know he was " obstropolous." Fined, Winspeare 15s. and Bates 2s. 6d. THE LEBANON. The following are some details respecting the natural history of this part of Syria at present attracting so much interest. Wheat, barley, maize, lentils, and peas are produced, but not in sufficient quantities for more than seven or eight months' consumption ; and the deficit has to be made up by imports. Potatoes would succeed very well, but only small quantities axe planted, and the crops are generally sold to Europeans; the population, with that horror for innovation, for which they are remarkable, prefer, to potatoes, the beans of Egypt, of which they make wretched bread, and which they have always used. In the lowlands, and especially those in the direction from Beyrouth to Seyde, large quan tities of oil, grapes, figs, almonds, and nuts are pro duced. Most of these fruits, however, are far from equalling those of Europe; they are, in fact, little better than the wild ones of the West, and the Orientals eat them before they are ripe. The apricots, grapes, and figs are good, especially the sort of the latter called Bey routh. The town of that name and its neigh bourhood are infested with large bats which com mit, at night, much damage. The cactus plant grows largely in Syria, but the inhabitants have not had the idea of turning it to account in bre( fling cochineas ; they content themselves with using it to make hedges, and gathering the fruit. Pine trees flourish in the country, and the Persian lilac is planted in avenues and much esteemed ; but, except these two, all shrubs are plucked up to make room for mulberry trees. The mulberry justifies the preference shown for it; in addition to feeding silk worms on the leaves in spring, its branches supply fuel ; its bark serves the purposes for which willow is employed in other countries; the second crop of leaves feed cattle, and its wood is used by carpenters. The pasture grounds in the upper part of the mountain are good but not extensive, and consequently the production of oxen is limited. Every year 30,000 or 40,000 sheep are imported from Mesopotamia, and fat tened on mulberry leaves. Camels are obtained from the Arabs of the Desert ; asses, mules, and common horses from the isle of Cyprus ; oxen and goats are bred in the country. There is not much game in the Lebanon, owing to the de structive manner in which sporting is carried on. The chiefs of the mountain employ falcons to catch partridges, but the common mode is to tempt the birds to certain spots by spreading grain, and then to surprise them. The ounce, hyena, wolf, chacal, fox, gazelle, bear, wild goat, wild boar, and very large porcupines, are the wild or savage animals found in the country. In the Lebanon there is a great quantity of fossil coal, but it con tains so much sulphurie acid as to be only fit for large manufactories. Iron is abundant, and several mines are worked, but unfortunately in an imper fect and very expensive manner. The iron, how ever, obtained is preferred to foreign, on account of its malleability. It is said that mines of gold, silver, and copper, also exist in the country." FLEET STREET AND TUE STRAND FIVE HUNDRED YEARS AGO. --- The bridge we are just crossing is built over the river Fleet, a tributary to the Thames, into which it flows not far from the Black Friars' house. It rises in the heath of Hampstede, certain miles north of the City. The vessels near the bridge are laden with sea-coal, charcoal, and lime, which they carry to or from the wharves on the Fleet banks. The street into which we have entered is also known as the Fleet-street. Though without the walls it is yet a Liberty of the City, and within its jurisdiction, which extends in this direction to yonder posts, linked together with chains, known as the " Bars." This street is chiefly in habited by brewers of ale—who, in this country, are mostly women—and makers of felt hats, yet has a few notable buildings. First on the left is the royal palace of St. Bridget's, or Bride's, near the well dedicated to that saint. It is an ancient resi dence, and little used. Next comes the Bishop of Salisbury's Inn. The monastery beyond it is that of the Carmelites, or White Friars, and has of late been rebuilt for them by themunificent hand of the Earl of Devon. That large building with the round church, still further on near the Bars, is the New Temple. You know, doubtless, that it derives its name from the Knights Templars, who removed hither from the Old Temple in the street of Ould burne. On the recent suppression of that order, the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem, called " Hos pitallers," shortly became its possessors, but having a larger establishment in Clerkenwell, they not long since leased the New Temple to the students of common law, who have converted it into an Inn of Court. Opposite thereto, you see another Inn of Court, called " Clifford's" from the lessor thereof, Dame Isabel Clifford. Beyond the Bars is the river-side road, called " Strand-street." It was sorely in need of paving until lately, when a tax for its repair was levied on all goods carried along it to the Staple at Westminster. Here, many lords, spiritual and temporal, have goodly inns, of which you can see but two or three ; the Bishop of Exeter's close on the left ; the Bishop of Bath's beyond it; and the Bishop of Chester's, with the old stone cross before it. At that, cross the judges have sometimes sat to try pleas. The palace which you can just see to the lett is the Savoy, so called from Peter, Count of Savoy, who built it in the reign of our Henry the Third, whose queen wag the count's niece. Now the Duke of Lancaster is the owner thereof, and John, the cap tive King of France, lodged there not long since. The bridge over the lane in the centre of the road is called " Strand-bridge." On the right of St. Clement's Danes Church you see the wells of St. Clement's and Holy Well ; and, beyond them the vineyard and convent garden of the Abbey of West minster, skirted by the woods of Long Acre. The church among the fields, in the distance, is St. Martirfs.—All the Year .Round. THIS DABS lIIARRETS. LONDON-BRIDGE TERMINUS HOTEL COMPA.ATE st. A special mee ti ng of the proprietors of this com ' pany was held yesterday at the London Tavern, for the purpose of considering the propriety of dispos ing of the present site of the proposed hotel, or at once p ro ceeding with the building; Dr. Challice, the chairman, presided. The notice convening the meeting having been read, and the seal of the company having been ' affixed to the registry of shareholders, The CHAIRMAN' said this was the first oppor tunity the directors hod had of explaining to the shareholders the position of the compan3r, and therefore he would give them a short history of their progress. - When they first started the com pany they were led to believe that the Brighton Company would assist them, and give them permis sion to have access from the hotel to the platform, but when they served their parliamentary notices on the various parties they found that they were to be op posed not only by the Brighton ,butby the South-Eas tern Railway Company also. They got their bill into the House of Lords but it was thrown out on a technical objection. They subsequently applied to the magis trates at the Surrey sessions, and obtained permis sion to block u p th e B roa dway, provided they opened St. Thomas's-street to the public ; and that having been arranged they were threatened with still further legal proceedings by the railway com panies. Under these circumstances it would be for the shareholders to decide whether it would be wise to prosecute their plan and incur further legal ex penses. Since this project had been started other circumstances had arisen which had made an im portant change in the state of their prospects. The London, Chatham, and Dover Company had ob tained a bill to carry their terminus to Farrin,gdon street ; the South-Eastern had obtained powers to carry theirs to Charing-cross; and the London and Brighton had opened theirs at Pimlico,where there was a large hotel in course of erection. These, it was thought, would so divert the traffic that it was not advisable to proceed any further with the hotel. Several shareholders had written to him to say that if the Brighton Company would give a fair price for the ground it would be better to let them have it and abandon their project. The directors ac cordingly opened negociations with that company, and had received an offer of £30,000 for it, includ ing the £5,000 the hotel company had paid to the St. Thomas's Hospital as caution money. Nego ciation were progressing satisfactorily until Mon day last, when the directors of the railway desired to be released from the necessity of building the hotel, as they would be bound to do by the agree ment under which the land was granted by the go vernors of the hospital. This difficulty could be over come provided the railway company would capi talise a sum that would yield a revenue of £750 a year, so as to secure the ground -rent to the hos pital. The directors of the railway company would meet in a few days, and they would then decide whether they would .comply with that condition. Until their decision was known nothing could be done, and he should therefore have to move adjourn ment of the meeting till the 2d of November. If the sale took place the shareholders would have the option of receiving back their money intact, or still prosecuting their scheme on another site. If they chose the latter course there was a piece of ground contiguous to the one they were giving up, which could be had for a sum that would leave a consi derable balance to go towards building the hotel, and it was part of the agreement with the railway company that they should have access to the rail way platform for foot passengers—a privilege that was worth £5,000. He then formally moved the adjournment of the meeting till the 2d of Novem ber next. Mr. HAWKINS seconded the motion. Mr. KINTuEA said, notwithstanding the discou raging circumstances just narrated, there was nothing, in his opinion, that ought to induce them to abandon the scheme, and he trusted it would yet be carried out on the new site. He wished to know what their expenses had been up to the pre sent time. The CHAIRMAN said their outlay and liabilities :o the present time amounted to £29,639, including .he £5,000 caution money. The motion was carried unanimously. A cordial vote of thanks to, and confidence in, the chairman and directors having been carried, the meeting separated. THE _RAILWAY MARKET. The railway market remains intrinsically sound, and, as its steady recovery throughout the year has been attributable solely to the extension of com mercial traffic, which seems destined to go on in an increasing ratio, there is little reason to apprehend any material reaction, whatever may be the state of the money market. Looking at the prices cur rent at this moment, in comparison with those prevalent on the Ist of January last, it may be as sumed that there has been an average augmenta tion of nearly 5 per cent. in the value of the railway property of the country, or a total of more than £15,000,000 sterling; and this result becomes more striking when it is mention that Consols during that interval have undergone a fall of nearly 2 per cent., and that the weather throughout the entire period has been the worst ever known. As a decline of 2 per cent. in the British funds would represent about £16,000,000, it may be calculated that the nominal loss in that respect has been exactly coun teracted by the opposite movement in railways. With regard to the changes in different invest ments, such as those of a miscellaneous character, the fall in some descriptions has also been about balanced by an extraordinary advance in others. Thus while many kinds of foreign stocks are lower, and also nearly all classes of shares in speculative undertakings, there has been an unexampled re bound in the principal United States' railway secu - rities, and especially in those most largely held on this side. In the securities of the Erie and Illinois Central lines our capitalists were embarked to the amount of several millions. The shares of the first have advanced from 11 to 41, and of the latter from 38 discount to 18 discount, while in the mortgage bonds of both undertakings the recovery has ranged from 10 to 15 per cent. On the other hand, our commitments in our own American possessions have gone from bad to worse, and Grand Trunk of Canada shares, which stood at 421 at the beginning of the year, are now down at 261, while in its pre ference and debenture stocks there has been a fall of between 25 and 30 per cent. How much this fall would have been increased but for the favourable Canadian harvest and the visit of the Prince of Wales must be matter of conjecture. Happily, the shares of the other large Canadian line—the Great Western of Canada—have not suffered any fresh decline, but are now at a point slightly above that at which they stood in January. With regard to the English railway companies, it is to be remarked that notwithstanding the great prosperity they have shown on the average, there is abundant evidence of the drawbacks they have had to encounter from the weather. The instances in which a great rise has taken place have almost all been in connection with the commercial districts, while those which depend upon casual pleasure arrangements mostly show a decline. While Midland Stock has advanced from 110 to 130, the Great Northern from 107 to 116, the Manchester and Sheffield from 39 to 48, and the Lancashire and Yorkshire from 100 to 1184, that of the Brighton has declined from 115 to 1121, and the Dover from 85 to 84. The Eastern Counties company has fallen from 581 to 531, but as that has a peculiar power of depreciati n g under all circumstances, no solution ofci its com mercial or meteorological character need of all kinds be sought with respect to it. The cas e also there is an 1 have likewise fallen, but inthat the want of a definite exceptional explanation from and vigorous system of Indian finance. On the whole the conclusion to be draw.nfromunng the present the . ehanpgreesoft prices of all sorts o f securities d year is that it is safe to place reliance on the com mercial progress of 1 nationaltheeountrwy,anantadnatalrtsteeandteilry improve in valu e, - prises really based 01 while Consols,which h ave usually been the test by which the quotations o f a ll invest ments have been r egulated, may, during th e same period, from.political and other causes, experience a d ec line. —2lnzes' Cit y A rt icle. TrIE NEW ACT ON NAVAL DISCIPLINE.--The Act to amend the laws relating to the government of the navy, which was passed at the close of the late session, will not come into operation until the Ist of April next. The pre amble states that it is expedient to amend the laws relating to the government of the navy, 'whereon, under the good providence of God, the wealth, safety, and strength of the kingdom chiefly depends. The Act is divided into seven parts. Public worship is to be properly conducted in all ships of war, and the Lord's-day is to be observed accord ing to law. Penalties are to be imposed for misconduct in the presence of the enemy, for neglect of duty, for mutiny, and for insubordination, as well as for desertion. For ab sence without leave an offender may be imprisoned for ten weeks, with or without hard labour, or such other punish ment as the circumstances of the caee may require, and for feit a sum not exceeding two days' pay, exclusive of all charges of apprehension, and in addition for every twenty five hours of absence a sum not exceeding six days' pay, and any person may be deemed to be absent without leave, notwithstanding his absence may not have been voluntary, but may have been caused by imprisonment under a com mitment for an offence against the law ; penalties are to be enforced for profane swearing and other scandalous actions in derogation of God's honour and corruption of good man ners with dismission from the service. Other offences are described, and the punishment to be irrflicted, as also the constitution and proceedings of cout'ts•martial. Where persons are insane at the time of the offence or trial, they . are to be kept in strict custody, and the Lords of the A.d er miralty are to give orders for their safe custody during _he Majesty's pleasure. Another portion of the Act has r . ef ou r . ence to penal servitude and prisons.

Bertani and the clique to which he belongs. The history of the railway concession to the firm of Adami and Co. is pecUliarly amusing : " In a letter to Baron Poerio, M. Filippo Cordova, now banished from Sicily on account of his annexa tionist tendencies, relates that when he was Attorney-General to the Court of Accounts at Palermo, under the Pro-Dictatorate of M. Depretis, a contract was laid before him, signed Garibaldi —Adami,' by which the latter were invested with the exclusive monopoly of the construction of all the railways in Sicily, which the Government might ' think prope r t o d ecree . O n th e cap it a l t o b e ra i se d, the firm was to receive two per cent. commission ; the capital it se lf t o b e represente d b y Si c ili an Governme n t stock, payable to bearer, and the firm being left at liberty to negociate it at any pcssible figure. On the whole capital expended the firm was to receive an additional five per cent. M. Cor dova show s th e absurdity of such a plan, by which Sicily would fi rs t have to pay two per cent. com mission on the sale of her stock, while it could be disposed of readily at a brokerage of one per thousand; then run all th e risks of the enter prise without the firm's risking one farthing ; and lastly, pay, at five per cent., 25 millions more for no service done whatever. This project was unanimously rejected by a commission com posedte of MM. Michele Amari, Secretary of S tate for Public Works, Cordova , and Perez, an d h Pro-Dictator Depretis annulled the contract." M. Cordova goes no further in his letter, but we know already that the same project was signed the other day at Naples. How this was done, the Naples correspondent of the Perseverenza of Milan explains : " When Bertani arrived at Naples on the 21st ult., he applied to M. Scialoja, the Minister of Fi nance, requesting him to place 800,000 francs at the disposal of G. B. Garibaldi, of Marseilles, for the purchase of arms, and another million of francs at his (M. Bertani's) disposal. The Minister re plied that, as to the arms, G. B. Garibaldi, of Mar seilles, might send them, and draw in the course of business for the above amount ; and as to the mil lion, its necessity not being proved, it had better be talked over some other day. M. Bertani did. not insist, but on the 26th asked Scialoja for 40,400 fr. to defray office expenses. This enormous sum was granted to him by the Council of Minis ters, believing it to be required for the payment of the swarm of Dictatorial officials attached to the secretary. On the 29th Scialoja resigned office ; and on the same day Bertani wrote to the Director of Finance for a sum of 88,000 fr ! On the pre vious day he had been with Messrs. Adami to the notary, M. Cacace, and had there, armed with the Dictator's authorisation, signed the celebrated con cession, not only for Naples, but also for Sicily, although, as above stated, it had been rejected by the Pro-Dictator of that island." These facts, and the appointment of Crispi to Ber tani's place, greatly irritated the Neapolitans, who had received the announcement of Bertani's depar ture with intense joy. The Turin Gazette pub lishes, in its turn, some telegraphic despatches sent by Bertani to M. Tripoti, commanding the troops on the Neapolitan frontier, bidding him prevent the Sardinians from entering without permission from the Dictator. One of these telegrams runs thus " Organise the defence with your forces. E►.nploy every revolutionary means. Call out the National Guard. Do not divide the troops. I hopia soon to send you good decisive news." In another he says : "Prevent the annexationist expeditions. Take the necessary rigorous measures against the agita tors who want annexation before the Dictator has ordered it." To complete the history of these strange doings, we must not omit mentioning a letter addressed to the Opinione by M. del Castillo di Sant' Onofrio, . . __ late Director of the Post-office in Sicily:— " I would," he says, " have explained the reasons for thy resignation sooner, if the liberty enjoyed in Sicily under Mordini's misgovernment did not prevent every free manifestation of opinion. Now, however, in this happy land of freedom, I may speak openly. General Garibaldi having lowered the postage tariff to Piedmont to 40 centimes, when the communications with Naples were re established, Lthought I must extend the benefit of the same tariff to Naples also ; upon which M. Mordini sent me so strange and violent a Ministe rial letter, that it could only come from a person unaccustomed to civil society. This led to further correspondence, which ended in my resigning and being dismissed at the same time. This was the apparent reason ; but the real one was that I was a firm annexionist, and a friend of the excellent M. Depretis, whom I had often recommended to order the vote of annexation, even without Gari baldi's consent. Another reason, perhaps, was that Mordini became aware that, under my administra tion, the secrecy of letters would be inviolable." M. Depretis, late pro-Dictator of Sicily, has written to the Opinione of Turin, denying an imputation cast upon him by M. Bertani, to the effect that, while in office, he had retarded the acceptance of certain bills, to the great detriment of the public service. After stating that the finances of Sicily were in a bad condition, he relates the facts as fol lows :—Towards the end of August, seven bills of exchange, drawn by Bertani, were presented to him for acceptance, to the total amount of 2,168,000 fr. Not having received advice, he or dered the first to be paid, which amounted to 325,000 fr., and immediately wrote to the central office of the society for aiding Garibaldi requiring explanations, and accounts justifying the expen diture of such a sum, the Treasury of Sicily having already contributed 3,675,000 fr. to wards the Garibaldi Fund. In September — the matter, it seems, having been explained — he paid in 150,000 fr. more, which sum , according to advices received, he considered suffic ient for the requirements of the fund. Soon a fter he accepted the second bill of exchange t o the a mount of 351,000 fr., and arranged withtrsheecaatshier somewhatof M. Bertani for the payment of the ot later periods. have n ot i b It theeenremfoaredea,ptpheearfasuthltatd, oifesthneotpalyie. with M. Depretis, and M. Bertani's accusation falls to the ground.

SINGULAR CHARGE OF STEALING A CASH-BOX.—Char lotte Cooper, a servant girl, aged 15, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with stealing a cash-box containing sundry papers, the property of her master, George Wm. Glenister, grocer and cheesemonger, 1, Spring-garden place, Stepney. Mr. Glenister said the prisoner had been in his service for a few weeks, and her conduct had not been so good as it ought to have been. Last Saturday she stole a half sovereign, and he forgave her for that, and declined to turn her out of doors. This morning the girl rose early and went down stairs, for the purpose, it was supposed, of lighting the fire and attending to her household duties. Soon afterwards she was missed, and on looking for the cash-box it was missing. Concluding she had absconded and taken the cash-box with her, he went after her girl, and after iquiring for her at various places, he found her in front of the ruins of Messrs. Goodhart's sugar refinery, which was destroyed by fire last night. The cash-box was under her arm, and he took it from her, and gave her into custody. There was no money in the cas.l3..box. He emptied it last night. The prisaner, in defence, said she received warning to leave her master's service this day, and having no friends and no place to go to, she did steal the cash-box for the purpose of being given into custody. Mr. Glenister believed that his wife did tell the prisoner she was to leave this day. He received a good character with her from Mrs. Meredith, cow-keeper, of No. 27, Whiskin-street, Clerkenwell. Mr. Selfe—Let inquiries be made about the girl. She is remanded until Thursday next. THE ATTEMPTED MURDER A 7 LEEDS. Yesterday, at the Leeds Town Hall, John Ken worthy was charged with the determined and mur derous attack upon Mr. Stephen Lupton, grocer and provision dealer, Armley Hall, of which we have already furnished some particulars. The first witness called was Mrs. Horner, a widow residing in the adjoining house to that occupied by Mr. Lup ton, in Holdforth, New Wortley. She deposed to responding to Mr. Lupton's calls for assistance, and stated that she saw the prisoner leave the house. She found the hatchet with which the wounds had evidently been inflicted, and noticed that in Mr. Lupton's bedroom the drawers and clothes had all been disturbed. Mrs. Horner's evidence was corroborated by several witnesses ; and a girl named Shaw stated that she saw the prisoner near his mother's house soon after the perpetration of the outrage. He was very pale, and seemed agi tated, and turned his head repeatedly. Upon the left knee of his trousers there was a great spot of blood. Police Constable Scott, who apprehended the prisoner, and afterwards secured the clothes worn by him early in the morning, stated that he found on the trousers a mark of blood.—George Gibbons said : I live with the prisoner's mother, who is my stepmother. About a quarter to six o'clock on Monday morning the prisoner came in, and went up stairs to his mother's room. Kenworthy shortly after asked me to lend him my coat. I did so. The hatchet, which is one ordinarily called a " blocker," and used for chopping up firewood, was identified by several persons as having been in the possession of the prisoner. —Mr. Daniel Baxendale, the employer of the prisoner, identified the chopper as his property, and said it had been stolen from his stable about six months ago.—Mr. William Scott, surgeon, of Holbeck, said : I found five scalp wounds on Mr. Lupton's head, a wound on the left ear, another wound on the back, over the fifth and sixth dorsal vertebras, another on the left wrist, and a superficial wound on the nose. There were also many scratches on the face. The wound on the crown of the head was a com pound fracture, was nearly three inches in length, cut down to the bone, and was the same trans versely. All the other wounds on the scalp also ex ppsed the bone more or less. The wound on the wrist was a superficial wound about an inch in length. The wound on the nose appeared to have been occasioned by a bite. The wounds on the head must have been inflicted by a blunt-edged instrument, similar to the hatchet produced, and the other wounds (that on the nose excepted) appear to have been inflicted with a sharp instrument like a knife. When I examined the hatchet in Mr. Lupton's house, I saw that the blade was bloody, and that there was some hair attached to it which was of the same colour as Mr. Lupton's hair. —Jane Blanchard, who assists in cleaning the offices at the Leeds Town Hall, deposed that when the prisoner was brought in he was placed within the iron fencing until the charge was entered, and when she afterward went to sweep that part of the room she found on the floor an ordinary pocket knife. The blade, which was open, was marked with blood, and was nearly bent in two. The case was further adjourned until this day (Thursday) week. Mr. Lupton still remains in a very critical position. SUGAR AND THE TEETH—TEETH PARASITES.- 14. Larez, of France, has proved that sugar from either cane or beet is injurious to healthy teeth, either by imme diate contact with them, or by the gas evolved owing to its stoppage in the stomach. If a a tooth be macerated in a saturated solution of sugar it becomes gelatinous and its enamel opaque, spongy, and easily broken. This modification is due, not to free acid, but to a tendency of sugar to combine with the calcareous basis of the teeth. Dr. J. H. Bowditch, of the United States, having exa mined with a microscope matter deposited on the teeth and gums of more than 40 individuals, selected from different classes of society and in every variety of bodily condition ; in nearly every case he discovered animal and vegetable parasites in great numbers ; in fact, the only persons whose mouths were found to be entirely free from those parasites cleaned their teeth four times daily, using soap once. Among the various agents applied were tobacco juice and smoke, which do not impair the vitality of the parasites ; nor does chlorine tooth wash, pulverised bark, soda, ammo nia, &c. Soap, however, pure white soap, destroys the parasites instantly.— Tintbs' s Curiosities of Science. THE MIRACULOUS CABINET.—Last evening we attended the private view at the Dudley Gallery, Piccadilly, of the opening of the Miraculous Cabinet, and a more sur prising sight we never witnessed. The cabinet itself is only five feet in height, three feet wide, and 18 inches deep, and yet it contains 150 pieces of furniture of the same size in most cases as ordinarily used in private houses. It seemed to be in fact absolutely inexhaustible. Chairs, tables, bedsteads, rich inlaid cabinets, massive can delabra, reading chairs, and rocking chairs, mirrors, candlesticks, flower-pots, plates, dishes, knives and forks, drinking cups, camp stools, with hundreds of other things too numerous to mention, were taken out and set up in endless succession and with magic celerity, until the whole of the large platform was fully furnished. One small box, of the ordinary size of a lady's workbox, contained all the plates, knives, forks, &c., &c,, necessary for a dinner to 24 persons. After the whole was put together and arranged, the ingenious inventor invited those present to come and examine the furniture, in order to convince themselves that no trick was played, and that everything was constructed in the most solid and durable manner. The author of this extraordinary work of art is Mons. H. Nadolsey, and from the novelty of the exhibition.it will no doubt become highly attractive. DISCOVEI:Y Or A YOUNG GIRL'S BODY UNDER AN ALTAR.—A horrible discovery has been made within the last two or three days at the church of the village of Boulogne. between Paris and St. Cloud, which is now under repair. Underneath the altar of the Virgin there has been found the body of a young girl of fourteen, who disap peared three years ago, and of whom her parents, inhabi tants of the place, have never since had any news. The neighbourhood is in a state of great excitement on the sub ject. The girl is described as having been very beautiful. She had been to her first CollftS49ll shortly before her die appearance, CORN EXCHANGE. IMPERIAL WEEKLY AVERAGES.

His Excellency Count Kielmansegge arrived at the Hanoverian Legation y es terday, from Hanover, to re sume his diplomatic duties, after a short leave of absence. The French police made a descent the other night on a clandestine gambling-house, kept by a female who called herself Mme. de Marseilles. The apartment, most sumptuously fitted up, was frequented by ladies of the demi-monde, actresses of the minor theatres, whose pre sence attracted young men of family, foreigners, and others, who were made the p re y of Greeks an d professed gamblers.

Pouchet commun icated so me further exp erim ents on the air of different localities. Our readers are aware that his object is to show t hat th e atmosphere is far from being ic spo res _ and germs, as overloaded with microscop ic is asserted by those who deny - alludedt a neous to, o, the lgeneration.earo his theory of spon taneous of towns and mar shes, In the experiments above wmietmhbheirsed,ofh. microscope, naturalistrdashes,the sea has a nexploredmountains, contained in a n instrument, it will ~ be re is.invention, by which the particles given volume of air are blown on an ad hes i vesurface . In towns, he has found that th e air co n t ains an infinite variety of organic re mains an d particles of things in common use. The air of marsh es an d plains is charged with a vast quantity of vegetable fragments. On the contrary, ai the open sea, far from the shore, as also on the tops of mountains, above the cul tivated and in habited zones, particles foreign to the atmosphere become infinitely rare, and it is found not to contain either tecula or the eggs of infusoria, or the spores of mucedinee. And yet, he states in conclusion, a single cubic decimetre of such air, taken in the open sea between Sardinia and Sicily, or in the midst of the lonian Sea, or on the top of Mount Etna, has always fur nished him with legions of ciliated infusoria, which, in his opinion, have been produced by spontaneous generation. M. Goldschmidt wrote to state that M. Luther had, at M. Goldschmidt 's request, re-observed his last planet at Bilk, and named it Danea. We stated a short time ago that M. Chacornac had discovered another on the 12th. Hence it would seem that Nl schmidt's Danea is the 58th, and M. Chacornac's h M . planet the 59th of the family . of telescopic pl anet s. Owing to the unfriendly footing on w hich Gold Leverrier stands with the Academy of Sciences, Leverrier M. Chacornac's discovery is that body, which has received. noi b "' the discove officiallyminagnuourieeatioyo on the subject ; and most pro y ry be s l e e l s g a lly Berlin, held or to Lwoilnldhona:ebeftooretrtahveeAl raldroemugyheaßnrbu communication on the part p aye y infusoria and know anything about it.
