The Select Committee appointed to inquire into matters relating to the Thames have published their report, which will be found in another pact of this day's impression. They have examined many witaesses of great skill and Experience in their professions as engineers and chemists, but have been unable to find time sufficient to examine otheri , , who had suggestions to offer, and informa tion to give, which might be found worthy of at tentive consideration. They felt that it was an imperative duty to state the S laws they had t dcen and the conclusion they had arrived at on the evidence already before them. Thera can be no doubt that in so doing they exercised a wise discretion, more especially as they completely dis poscd cf Mr. GOLDSWORTHY GURNEY'S plan, to which their attention was particularly directed by the terms of the res(..lation under which they were appointed. We are happy to say that plan has been unequi vocally condemned. Indeed, it woul 1 have per petuated the evils against which so many just complaints leave been preferred. It is sufficient to say that he proposed "to discharge all the sew age of the metropolis into the waters of the Thames within the metropolis itself." Tiflis making " the silent highway" still " the c'oaca maxima," into which all the filth and sewage matter of two millions and a-half of people should be discharged. There was to be no attempt at deodorisation—nothing to preserve any portion of the valuable manure, and thus give increased fertility to the soil in the vicinity of London, which, properly applied, would double the pr.>. duce of the land. These facts alone would L e quite sufficient to prevent its adoption. B u t i t is also based on sundry theoretic assumption 9, which might all turn out incorrect after a heavy outlay had been incurred ; and the C.unmittee were of opinion that " the parts of the plan which relate to the river were not calculated to, effect th© purification of the Thames." They al4o thought that " the f urnace sys t e m" —that is, the burning of the gases which would be retained iu the sewers—although "possibly very efficicious for a aparticular and a limited area, c not be roliel upon for the general ventilation and purificaqon of • the sewers of the metropolis at large." Mr. GUR NEY'S plan is thus at once and for over deft • naively abandoned. One of the most interesting portions of the report is that which relates to the deodorisation of the sewage, respecting which they have taken much valuable evidence. The Committee report that— "lt appears to be easy to,separate the mere solid from the liquid part; of the sewage, and to de prive both of all offensive smell. By an infusion of lime into ; sewage the solid matter 13 rapidly precipitated, and the water that is left above the precipitate is cleared of all the matter which it held in 'suspension, retaining only sone .sAlts, which it holds in solution. If the sewage of London could be so treatsd, and the solid pre cipitate could be got rid of in a satisfactory Man ner, the liquid might be discharged into the Thames without injury or inconvenience, provided that no nuisance arose during the process of deodorisation." This is not mere theory. The question has been practically tested, and with the best results. We are told that " the system is now adopted at Leicester, and, in as far as it, is a sanitary arrangement, with complete success. Toe town is freed from all offensive matter, and the liquid which is discharged into the river does not pol lute the water of the streams." If it has so sow pletaly succeeded in one place, there is no reason .suppose that it would not prove equally eitia "lous in a larger area, and with in creased means. The Committee, however, felt that the decision on that point should be left in the bands of the Metropolitan Board — who possess ample means for making all the necessaiy inquiries. Many opinions of enlinerAt engineers bavo been given in favour of embr.nking the Thames, and it certainty seems f o be indispenuLls to the proper THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY E V ENING, solution of the important problem. We have always insisted on the expediency of such an em bankment, which would render the river an orna ment of the metropolis, instead of being its foul stain and disgrace. Along with that there should be I I metallic pipes, such as we long since suggested, con veying the entire sewage matter to a considerable distance, where it might be conveniently deodorised and converted into valuable manure. It must be borne in mind that millions are sent annually out of the country for guano, while we are not merely wasting very valuable substance, but converting what might be made a blessing and a source of national prosperity into a foul nuisance, occasion ing disease and death to those whom it would, under a better system, provide with food. "In conclusion, the Committee state their de cided opinion that no plan ought to be adopted in regard to the sewage of the metropolis that does not provide for one of two things—either that the sewage shall be carried down to some point in the river sufficiently f.r from the metropolis to nrevent the sewage from being brought back in an offensive state by the flowing tide, or else that the sewage shall be deodo rised, and that only the purified liquid part of it shall be discharged into the river." Adding, " The whole subject is one of great and of growing public importance. The metropolis is extending in all directions, and in every part of its circumference. Every year fresh masses of buildings are springing up, whose drains are dis charging into the Thames, and streets that bad only cesspools are furnished with house drains, leading into the general network of sewers ; thus every year the quantity of sewage discharged into the Thames goes on increasing." We trust that these sound and wholtsome views may be acted on by the Metropolitan Board, and that effectual means will be taken to prevent from pollution the Thames, " which ought to be the ornament of this great city, and which must con tinue to be the main highway of its multifarious traffic." The views ennunciated by Sir E. B, LYTTON in his admirable speech respecting the Hudson's Bay Company, seemed to meet the general concur rence of the House. He addressed himself to the subject in a fair and straightforward manner, lay ing down the priaciples on which he was prepared to legislate so as to satisfy Mr. ROEBUCK, who cer tainly made out a strong case in support of the course which he advocated, and one which more than justified him in bringing forward the mo tion. As yet, it was said to be impossible for the Government to decide on a definite plan. They are still in the position of negotiators. They have to consult the Canadians, and to satisfy the voice of public opinion in that important colony. They must also consider the rights of the Cirn pany, whatever they may be, and these of jects being accomplished, make the best possiLle ar rangement fur the promotion of civilisation, and the establishment of a sound system of colonisa tion. The Colonial Secretary declares his unqualified opinion that " the licence ought not to be renewed, except where civilisation has no requirements, and law no other machinery but that of the Company." This is as it should be. What could be con verted to the use of mankind should not be made a wilderness in order that savage animals may be propagated, whose furs would be a source of emolument to a trading corporation. The question as to the validity of the Chatter will be submitted to the law officers of the Crown. It will be ascertained whether the " merry" habit of the so-called " merry Monarch" of bestowing that to which he had no right can confer a valid title on the recipients, and limit the trade of a district cnitaining millions of [(pare miles. We cannot believe that Charter to be worth the paper or parchment on which it was engrossed. But it is right that the subject should be fairly and properly considered by com paten t authorities. Sir E. B. LYTTON also grants the ex2ediency of strengthening our empire in North America, by substituting in one connected frontier line the Colonies of Great Britain for the hunt ing grounds of a trading company. This is all that could be desired, and if the promised measure should fulfil these • conditions, we have no doubt that it will receive the support which will be jastly merited, and that no factions opposition will be offered to ii , jure, for party purposes, a • bill in which the interest; of humanity must be greatly concerned. The opinion of Mr. WYLD, the eminent geo grapher, on the propriLty of making a , rand highway through these extensive regions, is well worthy of attention. It was by their roads that the Romans secured and civilised their conquEsts.. A Cabinet Council was held yesterday at the official residence of the Chancell)r of the Exchequer in Do an i,g-etreet.

Tun PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris is about 2 per mills discaunt, and the short exchange on London is 25.02..pgi5h er i lt m e it t n erlieg mOn coparing these 'rates with the E price of 3/. 17, , . 10. P. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold ntarly 3-10ths per cent, dearer in Parts than in London, By advices from Hamburg the pates of gold is 425 per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13 .5 'per 1/. sterling. Standard geld at the English Mint price is, therefore, about the earns price in London and in Hamburg. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at GO days' sight is 1091 to 1091 per cent., which, when c. , cripared with the Mi nt proportions between the two countries, shows that the exchange is about at par ; and after making allowance fur charges of transport and difference of interest, the prevent rate leaves a trifling profit on the importation of gold from t'ie United States. TERTYDER-TOR3I.—A thunderstorm passed orer York shire and Derbyshire from the south-west to the north east on Sunday afternoon, rain and hail fa!ling in torrents and the wind blowing a ISurricane. At Peakhall, near Stoke-upon-Trent, the church was crock by lightning, thJ roof being damaged, the walls frac ured to a serious extent, and the organ iujored. The congregation had left the chr.rch only about 20 minutes before the storm commenced. An engine -house at Soeyd-grsen was Gred by the lightning ; the tall chimney belonging to the naphtha works at Joiners'-square, Hanley, and two other chimneys in the :.ame town, were struck ty the e4ctric finid. At Stoke upon-Trent a hole was knocked in the roof of a the lightning passing through the kitchen in which several persons were siting, but none of them received any injury. At the Hanley p:Aice-office a chimney was thrown down. At Ne rycastle-under-Lyru e several d ing-hsuses and buildings were struck, but no one was irjurer!. At Leeds and Bradford the storm was very violent, the thunder and lightning being ftarfa!, but no was done. S. veral other towns in the sg s o t us a injurydi ng were visited by the storm, but no damage reported. IA A.TEST NEWS. FRANCE. PARIS, TUESDAY. At the sitting of the Paris Conference of the 15th, says a Paris letter in the Independence of Brussels, "Count de Kisseleff read an able paper on the re. organisation of the Danubian Provinces, the ideas of the Russian plenipotentiary being based on a practical knowledge of the Principalities." The Inspector-General of Hydraulic Works, M. Reibell, has been sumrncned to attend the Empe ror at Plornbieres, and explain to him the mode by which the deck at Cherbourg is to be filled with water. He will proceed to Cherbourg in a few days to superintend the final preparations. On the occasion of the Emperor's visit an extensive promotion in the Order of the Legion of Honour is expected to take place. A great batch of Senators is also spoken of, among whom will probably be found the name of Baron Gros, the French Pleni potentiary in China. The last operations for completing the great work at Cherbourg, which has been so long in course of execution—the new dock Napoleon lll.—were brought to a termination the day before yesterday, the whole of the bottom being carefully swept, and the dust and rubbish removed. The last hamper hoisted up was decked out with the national colours. A flagstaff is now planted in the centre of the dock as a sign that this gigantic work is definitely brought to a close. An old inhabitant of Cherbourg, who was cap tain of the vessel in which the Emperor Napoleon I. made his first cruise, when sub-lieutenant of ar tillery, has preserved the log-book, which he intends to present to his Majesty at his approaching visit. The name of this officer is Langeon, formerly sub inspector of the works in the port. A medal is now being struck at the Mint, in com memoration of the interview which is to take place at Cherbourg between the Emperor Napoleon 111. and Queen Victoria.

RoME, July 13.—A feat d la Benvenuto Cellini, not to say d la Jack Sheppard, has just been per formed by a French jeweller and watchmaker, likewise the proprietor of a large mosaic manufac tory, long establishts,d, in Rome, who was arrested by the French authorities on the evening of the festival of St. Peter, charged with having created a disturbance at the Porta del Popole, insit-ting on driving Mat that gate just before the g irandola ' and abtbing and threatening the French soldi,rs. On account of the quarrelling and conflicts which just then prevailed between French and ROM als, the French g;neral's criers were extremely strin letit for the punishment of any such offenders, whether military or civilians, and the jeweller was consequently taken off to the Castle of St. Angelo to be tried by court-martial, a trial which it was generally infeirir.d could not end without a con ,lemnation to prison for a longer or shorter period. Meanwhile the prisoner's wife male every exertion in his behalf, aLd was upon the point of succeed ing, it is said, in softening the severity of the gener,d-iii-:;hipf, when the pr:solier h i mself , dis gusted with the monotony of Hadrian's Mole, or • apdr,, , liensive of the result of the court-martial, cr f arful that political accusations of an'e,i - r date might ba reproduce 1 ag dust h'm to aggravate the ca,-e, though tpc :,per to abscond fem the safe Cll3 tody of the French, by raising a pat of the floor of his room, dropping into a corridor below, and passing down the winding stairs and out at the castle gate without teng ehalltnged by any of the sentries, fr, in which fact it is infeirA that he was provided itti a military uniform to disarm any suspicion at ais appeatauce. The French general is ex.re,cely angry at his escape. He has had all the sonnies placed in arrest, and gendarmes have been busily occupied since :yesterday m)rn'ng, when the event took place, in searching for the fugitive, whose own premises have b3en minutely but fruitlessly ran sacked. PROPOSED DRAMATIC COLLEGE. MEETING THIS DAY. A large public meeting of the theatrical profes sion was held this day at the Royal Princess's Theatre, for the purpose of taking measures to found a Dramatic College for Aged and Decayed Actors. The front of the theatre was densely filled. Amongst those present on the stage we observed T. P. Cooke, Esq., J. P.Harley, El., D. Mea dows, Esq , W. Lacy, Esq., N. Lee, Esq., W. Bennett, Esq., B. Webster, Esq., F. Matthews, C. Dickens, Esq , T. Creswiclr, Esq., J. Cooper, Esq., Sheppard, Esq., C. Farley, E 1., J. Jerwood, Esq., C. Stanfield, Esq., W. Cullenford, J. W. Anson, and many other celebrities. Mr. CHARLES KEAN, in taking the chair, slid, the object of the meeting was to awake public opinion in favour of the theatrical profession, who had often contributed to the amusement of others, to afford a shelter to aged and decayed actors—a refuge befure the sun set upon the dial of life. A benevolent gentleman, Mr. Henry Dodd—(loud cheera)—a gentleman of large landed property in Berkshire,had offered five acres of land for the erec tion of such a noble institution, and further to aid which he had generously accompanied the offer with a donation of 100 guineas towards the erection of the houses. He thought it was the duty of the profes sion generally to strain every effort to carry out such an undertaking. (Loud cheers.) Such a noble gift on the part of Mr. Dodd showed that fortune in this instance had been conferred on one who knew well how to diffuse its blessings. He would not further detain the meeting, but called upon the bon. Secretary to read the report of the ro ional committee, of which th e f o ll ow i ng i s an abstractprovisional : " The Dramatic College you are this day called upon to establish, and which the provisional com mittee feel assured will soon take its•place amongst the permanent ch".ritabla institutions fer which England is remarkable, will owe its formation chiefly to a gentleman who has placed at your dis posal five acres of land, beautifully situated, with no other condition than that you shall this day give evidence of your desire to provide homes for those actors and actresses who are no longer able to pro vide for themselves, and whose aching limbs and wearied minds have earned the re yard now pro posed for them. The name of that gentleman is withheld, in conforuii•yr with his own request; but the committee are assured by his solicitor, Mr. Macpbai', that he only waits your appointment of trustees to make an unconditional conveyance of tine land. There need. dno discussion to prove to the coin mittee the necessity for such an institution as that contemplated. The only wonder was that its establishment had been so long deferred ; there fore the gentlemen present resolved on forming thenholves into a provisional c tmmitee, with power to aid to their number; elecied Mr. Ben jamin Wel s' ras their chairm in, Mr. Robt. Keeley as their dlaity-chairmau, Mr. John B. Buckstone as their treasurer, Mr. G. A. Macphail as their honorary solicitor, Mr. Wire Cullenford as their honorary eec; etary, and entered into a subscription tip ovide for aivertieements, and such other dis bursements as we:e immediately necessary. Mr. Cullenford communicated the paiticulars of his ap plic snow to other gentlemen not then present ; and the committee had en uch pleasure in hearing that Mr. C. Kean, though reluctaet to take the chair at a pu':- lie meeting, la I exp; essed his warm interest in the design, and had promised his liberal support. They had a!so the p!eisare of le ruing that Mr. Chivies Dickens had warmly responded % the apprcation made to him, and had unreservedly placed his ser vices at the cernmanl of any committee which should be Limed for the purpose in view. To a subsequent and more pressing application to Mr. Charles Ke tn, you owe hes presence in the chair this day ; and to his kind offer the committee is indebted for the uce of his theatre for the purposes of this meeting. To occupy time in attemp•s to prove the net ssiey far such an institution as t' at now prop sect, the committee consider qui•e nu necessary ; they, therefore, content themselves by the ex;:reessi n of a 11 tin that there will be a fiber •1 response to the claim now made, and Vat those whose energies are devoted to the service of the will have souse - icing to look to as a means of spending their days in comfortable retirement, when no longer ab'e to lab cur. The immediate otsject is to procure sufficient funds to erect twenty dwellings; ten for actors, and ten for actrerse , . The nest purp( , se will b 3 to provide annuities for the occupants. At a subsequent ptriod it may in hoped to add an educational design for the children of members of the dramatic profession ; but at present the committee desire to give their whole atiention to the singe purpose of providing dwe-- hugs, not c!oubting that everything else which may be ri quired wi;l be praviled for. Tney now re c marnend that the acceptance by the committee of the five acres of land f. ona the grantor lee confirmed I by this me -tiy.g, and that the - title of the institu tion be The Dramatic College.' The corn mittze have reason to .believe that the first two dwelling; will be erected by the Co vent Garden and Drury Lane Theatrical Funds. Amongst the future rules it was stated that the council shall determine -upon the plan of the ball, and description of tene ments. That the nrimleLT of pensioners for the benefits of the said college shalt not, in the first instance, exceed twenty p.-rsons, namely, ten rnalet and ten feuralep. That it be a qualiftoatisn in all candidates, for the benefits of thu college, that they shall have been on the stage for at least twenty years, and that candidates, being malt s, shall have at aped the age of fifty-nye years ; and femalt s fifty, excepting in such extraordinary ca,e3 where the candidates have sustained some permanent bud ly injury or infirmi y in the exercise of their profession ; such cases to be decided. Our by th 3 council, and to be exceptional. Tnat the fght to elect shall . be vested i n th e sub s-ribers, except that the directors of the Covent Gat den and Drury Lane Theatrical Funds, a nd their successors, sha 1 have the right in perpetuity of alternat:ly presenting one pensioner, for the benefits of the College. That a donation of ten guineas shall constitute a life governor, who shall be entitLd to one vote at each election. That every annual subscrber of ore guinea shall also be en titled t ) one vote. Ttiat, ultimately, 251. per an nutn, with fire and lighk, be the allowance of the pensioners, payable monthly. That as the funds increa s e, it shall be in the discrefon of the council t) inert a e the pectunaryallo . we no) to pen s i oners , or add to the number of pensioners and tenements. That if at any time the funds are iticreas::d beyond the amount requirid for the maintenance and sup poyt of the said college and pensioners, it shall be lawful for the council to apply such increase to wards the Maintenanc3 and education of children of actors ; and that a proportion of the ground and premis:.s appert ining to the college may to appro priated for the pu!pose of erecting a school-house ; and the scheme or plan upon which the said school shall be founded, and also the nature of the in s'rticion to be iinrarted, shall be in the discretion of the council." Mr, KEAN asked the meeting whether it was their pl asure the report just read _should be receiveJ. nose who were in *favour to say "yes ;" ou the contrary, "no." A loud cry of "yea" arose from all parts of the house, aceo.npaniecl wish tremendous applause. Mr. KEAN then said, having adopted the report, it became his duty to address to them a few ob3.er v.ttions as to - the obkcs they had in view—an ohje - A of the most serious import to the whole of tho theatrical profession. It was to found an insti tution cohere the'actor, who bad passed the summer cf his days on the stage, m i g ht pass the ho-Ten winter of his life in rest and repose. ( Hear, hear, and cheer.%) It was lA/ang.) that no such in, stitution bad ever been Erected before. Every other profession hid its retreat for the aged; but for the white-haired actor there. was no home to which ha could direct his tottering steps. Thanks to the benevolent heart of a noble-minded gentleman, such a want was about to be snppli?d. He felt there was no rind for him to urge on all prese n t t o g i ve t h e i r a id to so noble a Roily, and provid e f or the aged actor a haven of rep ose . T o ac t ors much was due. Who was it that founded Dulwich College ? 1 Why, Fadwt.rd Allyn, the actor. Was not that great and illu s t r i ous man —whose name was the pride ( f En- and the envy of the foreigner —an ac or ? (l.oud cheers.) Htd it not bee n f or t h e stage wo uld the world have heard o f Shakspeare f (I . mm rie the rs.) The siag ,, , properly con du c ted, did inestimable good, and. it rues to soot h e tl ie last days of the poor worn out actor hs now pleaded, and plrade,i, he felt assured, to a good, a gene-rouq, and grateful public. (Immense cheers.) CHARLES DICZENS, Esq. proposed the first resc ltVion as follo ws :-- ,, p ou t the report of the pro vitional committ ee b e a d op t e d, and thlt this meeting joyfully accepts aid gratefully ncluow ledg:s the gift of five acres of lsr.d reftrred to in the said report." Mr. °REMICK seconded the reso'ution, which was carried unau;raously. T. P. COOKE, Esq., proposed that Chail a ICe n, Esq., Btnjatnin Wet.ster, Esq., Charles Dickens, DENMARK. A letter from Frankfort of the 18th says : " The Diet has not yet fixed any day for receiving tike report of Vie committee on the new Danish re ply. It has preferred, in c , nsequence of the gravity of the affai-, to allow every latitude to the com miWe, which has again choen as its reporter 1111 on de Schrank, the representative of Bavaria. What ever may be the reception re3erved for the proposi tions en which the Diet will have to decide, it cum t be d nied that the Dani-h. Goya' wnent, by it; last official sttp, Las considerably widened the road to a compromise." The same letter says :—" The German inanufac,ur,rs who have visited this ci , y for the summer fair are much satisfied with the im provement which has taken place in busimss. A number of buyers, from Poland and the Danubian provinces, who did not attend the preceding have now came and purchased large quantifies of goods. It is hoped that as - ill greater improvement will math& st itself at the autumn fair." SPAIN. The :Madrid journ tls of the 16 h do not contain any news of political importance. A royal decree apprints M. Ulloa to be director general of the The King had been so much indisposed ni to be obliged to keep his bed. Of the new senators 17 were of the Plogie sist party, so that the total number of that party in the &flat?. is at presant 34. Some senf.ation had been canned by the discovery in the province of Trugillo of 24 pieces of crawler) and 32 grenades ; but it tutrr d out that they had been buried by a Spanish general in the course of the war against Napoleon. • The state of siege in Catalonia was about to be raise 1. Tha Discusion had been seized. Lord NormanLy had a private audience of the Grand Duke and Duchess of Tuscany, on the 16th, fur the purpose of presenting his letters of recall.S A letter from the Etagua of the .17th says : "The King and Queen yesterday !,:ave a privat3 audience at thy; Pal ice of Noordeinde to Geo. Men souroff, the Russian Minister, who presented to their Majesties Gen. Tottleb3n." The Nord of Brussels says :—" The coincidence of 111, journey now being male by the Prince de Joinvi!le and his two nephews, the Count de Paris and the Duke de Chartres, in Germany, with the excursion of Ole Count de Chambord in the same coi:ntry, has led to a report of a closer intercourse b-ing in contemplation between the Princes of Orleans and the head of the House of ii•Jurbon." —Nothing seems as yet to have taken place to warrant this rumour. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. The extra sz..ason, breath reduced pt ices, commenced very auspiciew6ly last night with Meyerbeer's "Les Huguenots," with precisely the same cast and generA raise en teene as on former occasions. Tnere was an im mense house, and the great scene between Raoul and Valentina, in tho third act!, grandly and beautifully per formed by Madile. Titiens at,d Stnor Ginglinl, excited the enthusiasm of the au:llene° to the highest pi.cla. The charming dxnseuse Madlle. B , tchetti, will wake her hecoa d appearance tomorrow, after "II Don Giovanni," in a new divertissement. ROY AL ITALIAN OPgRA, COVENT GARDSN. " Norma" was produced at the new theatre astnight for the first time this seaeon, in a most complete and highly sati,fitatory manner. Geis!, as th e Iruhle, sang and played the part — when , indeed, does she not ' d i) so —to perfsAiJn. Mine. Marai, as Adelgisa, piled her usual taste in the performance, and the well. known duet between her and Norma, as well as the scene with Follies, were never better reprereired. The wild and ungoverned fury of Normi, on hearing of the faithlessness of Pollio, and the manner in which she Wraith; him fir his intended desertion, was given with grand effect by Geni i and the last scene was one of rare merit, Mme. Grief appearing resolved to outdo even all her former exertions in this grand character. In the scene, too, in which the enraged nes (" o f f i P r 1; 1 ! j o ° l i! ) t y e tphreieentleusrsslesere,kfahtios contesttrwevoecuridtrheen,fatihtetie notion with deep-seated heart -burning verg , ance was finely portrayed. The beautiful prayer, " Caste Ilva," was sung with cha , ti-ned feeling and refined tai:e, and elicited the nine( and well-nalrite:i approbation. Tile pecularities of Tamberlik's fine voice found a suitatle field ' for display in the part of Pollio. His distinct and excellent pronunciation, abundance cf physici.l energy, and his correct and appropriate histrionic action, commanded the warmest approbatior.

MARLBOROUGH STREET. THREATENING TO STAB.—Ricl . .ard Alexander Lewis, a respectable looking young man, - was charged by &r -geant Gummer, 9 C, with threatening to stab, with a carving knife, Thomas Morgan, a waiter at the Glouces ter Hotel, Piccadilly. Thomas Morgan, waiter at the Gloucester Hotel, Piccadilly, said the prisoner, who was a cook at the hotel, came home in a cab, and wanted him to pay the fara, which he refused, and told him to g , ) down stairs. The prisoner then told him if he lid not he would kick him. On reaching the pantry the prisoner went to a cir,wer, pulled out a carving knife, and be felt certain that if a fellow servant had not wrested it away he would have inflicted serious injury on him. He fetched two officers and gave him into custody. Sergeant Gummer said, when he went down to the kitchen to take prisoner into cu-Aody he made a rush to the table again for the carving knife, but the servant girl fortunately seized it before he could obtain it. The prisoner was not sober. The prosecutor said he went in fear of the prisoner. Mr. [3:;adon said he should order him to enter into his own recognisance, in the sum of 101. to keep the peace for three months. MILITARY AAD NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

During the voyage eight deaths cceurred on board—viz., three men of the 52d Light infan try, two of the 60th Ritllso one seaman, and two children. The whole of the troops took part in the capture of Delhi, where most of them were severely wounded, a large number having lost either an arm or aI, g, besites receiving other injurie'. On their disembarking at Gravesend, on Monday af ter ncern, they were conveyed to Fort Pitt Hospital, Chatham, where they were inspected by the medi cal staff of the establishment, when it was found necessary for 107 men to be into h , spital for further surgical tre.,tment ' and the remainder were sent to the invalid depot, St. Mary's Bar - racks, Brompton, to await their discharge. Among those who are most severely wounded is Private Daniels, 75th Regiment, who was one of the party who captured the first battery at dmeng which ho had his left foot cut in two by a cannot slut, which neaessita'ed its being amputated. Sergeant Walm•hy, of the 60th Rifles, woo greatly distinguished himself, received a shot through the hip-bone, and Private Ryan, 75!1i Regiment, also lost his leg by a cannon slot. A number of the invalids belonging to the 52d Light Infantry are suffering float ophthalmia, and several have lost their sig•lit. On the South ,mpton leaving Kurrachee the Owen Glendower, Seringa patam, and Waterloo were embarking sick and wounded troops for England, and those vessels may shortly be expected at Gravesend.

Although only a limited supply o f E ng li s h w h eat was on offer in to-dty'e market, the demand for all kinds ruled heavy, at Monday'e decline in the quotation.. We were heavily supplied with foreign wheat, which met a dull inquiry, at barely stationary prices. Barley was in_ fair request, at previous rates. Malt, however, met a dull inquiry.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.) COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before the Lord Chancellor.) APPEAL-JOHNSON V. HESSENMEYER-jUDGMENT. The Lord Chancellor delivered judgment in this important appeal this morning. The contention was whether the respondent, Mr. Hessenmeyer, an attorney, was entitled to take a mortgage security or right of redemption from his client, on the eve of bankruptcy, in payment or security of his bill of costs, in preference to the bankrupt's other cre ditors. The security taken was over two houses, Nos. 1 and 2, Franklin-villas, Chelsea. The Lord Chancellor, after delivering a long and elaborate judgment, came to the conclusion that the bankrupt, in granting, and the solicitor, in tak ing the security in crestion, did not obtain it in fraud of the other creditors of the bankrupt ; that it was a bona fide transaction which the bank rupt and his solicitor were entitled to enter into ; and that the assignee in bankruptcy was not en titled to set it aside on the ground of fraud. The Lord Chancellor affirmed the decision of the Master of the Rolls, with costs, and dismissed the appeal. COURT OF APPEAL. GOLDING V. CASTLE. Lord Justice Knight Bruce and Lord Justice Turner, in delivering judgment in this case, made a slight alteration in the decree of the Mater of the Rolls, and dismi3sed the appeal with costs as between party and patty. COURT OF DIVORCE. (More Sir C. Cresswdl, Judge Ordinary.) STOATE V. STOATE-ALIMONY. Dr. Swabey said this was a petition for alimony pendente lite, in a suit for a judicial separation against her husband for desertion. It appeared from the books of the society that the respondent was a member of Gray's-inn, and was called to the bar in 1847, but he had never practised. He re sided at Minehead, in Somersetshire, where his father previous to his death resided. The father's will was proved in January, 1837, and the per sonalty was sworn under 10,000/ , the responthnt taking anequal moiety of the estate with his brother. The petitioner alleged that the respondent was pos sesed of household property in Bath, at Porlock, and several other places, and that his income amounted to 1,2001. a year. The respondent, in his answer to the petition, stated his income to be only 3201. a year, without stating what he pos sessed under his father's will. Since 1853 the re- Tondent had refus,d to receive his wife, and had allowed her nothing towards her maintenance. Mr. Stoate appeared in person, and in address ing the Court, said—l know nothing about the property mentioned in the petition. I get very little from my property, after paying repairs ; and as I have never practised at the bar, I hare no in come from that source. He proceeded to reflect in strong terms on the conduct of his wife, when The learned Judge informed him it was not the proper time to enter on that part of the case. Mr. Stoate, howev2r, proceeded to address the Court in a rambling strain. The learned Judge reminded him he was not in order, which probably arose from his not having practised at the bar. Mr. S!oate said that eight words out of every ten in his wife's petition were false, and again referred to the allegations in the petition. The learned Judge again informed him he was out of order, and made an order for alimony at the rate of (M. a year on the amount of income he had shown himself to be possessed of—the amount to b 3 paid monthly. Mr. Stott;—l he pe your lordship won'i make it payable till aster the trial of the petition. The 1-arned Judge said the object of the appli cation was for its payment dui ing the proceedings. Dr. Swabey said that as the respondent denied the allegation in the wife's petition, he had to apply to the Court to say how it should be tried. The learned Judge asked if either pa ty wished to have a jury ? Mr. S7toaie—l do, and to ask your lordship to send a eNnmissiouer to Blistoi to examine the wit ne,:ses there. The 13azn d Judge said he could not do it. Alimony at the rate of 601. a-year, payable moLthly, was then decreed. _HEALTH OF LONDON DIMING THE WEEK. (From the Report of the Registrar General.) The deaths in London in the week ending July 17 were 1,173. The tendency of the mortality to increase, caused by the heat, appears to have been temporarily checked by the fall of the temperature, together with the timely rains. The mean tempe rature of the air was, in the four weeks ending June 26, 66 deg.' ; in the two subsequent weeks it fell to 57 deg. ; and last week it rose again to 66 deg. In the 10 years 1843-57 the average number of deaths in the weeks corresponding with last week was 976 ; but as the deaths cow returned occurred in a population which has annually increased, they can only be compared with the average after it has been r-ised in proportion to the increase, a correc tion which will make it 1,073. From the compari son it appears that 100 deaths wt-re placed on the registers last week above the number which would have been registered if the mortality had not ex ceeded the average for the second week of July. Acc3iding to the "healthy rate" of mortality, as obtained from those districts in ll;gland where men live under the least unfavourable condition, the deaths in London would be 799 ; and the ex case over this standard, which is shown by the number actually returned, is 374. The deaths fr ,m the zymet'e class of diseases, which were in the previous we:,k 445, declined last week to 403. Among th ese the dsettse. most fatal at the present time is diarrhoea, the deaths from which in the two weeks were 129 and 126 ; those from cholera decreased from 13 to 4 ; and three of these four occurred to children, and were caused by summer cholera ; the fourth case was that of a young woman who died at Woolwich after three days' illues3. All of the 126 cases of diarrhoea occurred among infants, with the exception of nine. This complaint was prevalent, apparently, in two of the North Districts, Marylebene and St. Pancras, especially the former. Measles and scarlatina were most fatal in the east districts and in those of the south side of the river. The deaths from scarlatina were 73, or double theave rage number. Three deaths from diphtheria are returned by the Registrar of St. George's, Holborn, who mentions with regard to one case iu Lamb's Conduit-street, that it is the second death in the family from diphtheria within a fortnight ; and with regard to another in Old North-street, that three members of the family where it occurred are now suffering from the same complaint. Four widows died last week at the following ad vanced ages :-90, 94, 95, and 96. Last week the births of 788 boys and 796 girls, in all 1,581 children, were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1848- 57 the average number was 1,408. CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF METROPOLITAN WATERS SPORTING NOTES. A GLANCE AT GOOD WOOD. The glories of Goodwood will not be diminished. Fine weather will only be required for the approach ing meeting to take rank with the most successful of its predecessors. There will be the same array of "beauty and chivalry" in the grand stand, and the same exciting sport that have been associated with Goodwood, since the gathering suddenly sprungfrom a mere yeomanry meeting, got up by the Dukes of Richmond exclusively for the amusement cif their tenants. The late Lord George Bentinck, - indeed, advanced the meeting to a prosperity with that energy and detetmination which marked his character, and although, since the breaking up of the Duke of Richmond's lacing establishment, the meeting has not been conducted with that spirit and tact which founded its popularity, yet it has not been allowed to " dwindle to nothing" from mismanagement or an indifference to its fortunes. The programme has been already conned and studied by all tuifites, who are as well acquainted with its contents as a schoolboy is with the ques tions in a " Guide to Knowledge." The racing is likely to produce a material effect on St. Leger speculations, and it may direct the betting on the Derby of '59 into quite new channels. Referring to the pages of "Ruff," the Gratwicke Stakes, with its 17 nominations, first presents itself. This event will perhaps be devoid of importance, • for Toxophilite, withlhis 61bs. allowanc , , must hit Vie target of success, especially as his most for midable competitors on paper seem to be Meat more and the Gala colt. The Ham Stakes will, perhaps, bring out three or four animals of whom great expectations are entertained. The mostsuccessful public performer amongst the nominations is Mayonaise ' who has a 6 lbs. allowance. She will encounter Antonio (brother to Anton), and the Heroine of Lucknow, a filly of whom the Newmarket folk are very proud. Merryman, despite his extra weight, will perhaps add the Lavant Stakes to his list of wins, unless indeed Mut in eer, of whom I have received a favour able report, be able to make him strike his colours. It is rumoured, however that John Scott's, horses are for the most part on the sick list, and should this be true very little mischief will be apprehended from Whitewall at Goodwood. Wednesday's list has the Stakes for its principal attraction, and the Roman Candle will, it is ex pected, shine with additional brilliancy for it. That he is weighted leniently enough it must be con fessed, but " The Candle" may be snuffed out. Rosati is literally turned loose, but she possesses no form, and according to public running it must be confessed that Fright and Gemma di Vergp are entitled to serious consideration. With the excep tion of the Goodwood Derby, for which Ethiopean may be brought out to oppose Eclipse, Wednes day's list does not at present require further notice. The Cup will be the "great go" of the week, and both France alid America may rend horses into the arena. The French champion will he Ventre St. is—Gicetiously called in the ring "Venture Your Grease"—and our " Allies" may again bear our must priz ;el turf trophy from this country. Blink Bonny will, it is said, make her "first appearance in public since her severe indisposition" for the Sixth Memorial Stakes. I could almost wish t hat she may not win, for if she fail, according to the conditions of the race the per tentage—about 7001.—which has been deducted from the stakes, will be added to a handicap next year. The Eighth Memorial will occasion an interesting two-yr-old race ' • and Merryman m a y b e ca ll e d upon t o mea sure his strength against the slashing North Lin coln for the Findou Stakes. Then there are the stewards' and the Chesterfield Cups, and the .Nur sAy, for all of which large entries have been ob tiiined, and altogether the prospect ef a glorious week is br:ght enough. The Nottingham meeting has been a compare f,ilure. Messrs. Barber and Saxon, with their "resuscitated" Pretty Boy, won the handicap, and indeed had the lion's share of good things. Tho ga. haring which will take place to-morrow and Friday at Stamford will ke more distinguished •r i a quietness than for its sport. Wres ler may win the St. Leger ; Pandora will have only Rara Avis to fear for the aillyweston Stakes, and Sir Ilercules.will carry off the 50 Sovs. Sweepstakes. Haymaker will win the Burghley Stakes. The Ketten Sakes ought to be won by Leontes, and ;11,3 Gold Cup I shall of course assign to Fisherman. The Marlbor„ugli list looks well, and its promise is dkely to be fully realised. The Severnake Forest handicap seems likely to f , ll to either Scourge or Sampson. The 10 Sovs. Sweepstakes will excite much interest. The race will, in my opinion, lie between Cautine and Zitella, and for the Members' Plate I shall select the Gala colt. A FRESH MAN. NOTTINGHAM JULY MEETING. —TUESDAY.
