CITY, Two O'CLOCK. In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days there has been less activity, and in some instances prices have slightly declined. Tea has been exceedingly firm, but the inferior qualities of sugars have declined, and in the r efined market lower rates have been current for dried goods. For coffee there has been a rather active enquiry, particularly for Plantation Ceylon, the finer descriptions of which brought high rates. In rice there have been few transactions, and prices are unchanged. Currants have been in good de mand, and spices have been dealt in to a fair ex tent. Saltpetre has realized steady prices, but tal low has shown a downward tendency for present and forward deliveries. Accounts from Liverpool report that the cotton market yesterday continued very inactive, and Prices remained without alteration. The sales were only 6,000 bales. In railway shares rather more animation prevailed, and quotations generally were firmer. A sum of £B,OOO was sent into the Bank of Eng land yesterday. The arrivals of specie this morning, include £169,182 by the Parana, from the West Indies ; and £,4,200 by the Amazon, from Africa. The inquiry for money continues very moderate, and first-class bills are freely negotiated at 21 per ce nt. Owing to the diminished demand for accom modation, and the easier appearance of the market, the question of an immediate advance in the mini mum is no longer discussed. At the Stock Ex change loans are obtainable on favourable terms, and the settlement of the account in foreign stocks an d railway shares has had very little effect upon the demand. The half-yearly meeting of the Blackwall Rail way Company has taken place to-day. The report showed a surplus on the revenue of the half-year of £19,109 15s. 9d., out of which the directors pro posed a dividend of £2. 15s. per cent. per annum, equal to 2s. 9d. per share. The increase of the last Over the corresponding six months traffic of 1858 Was £3,931 14s. 11d. The report was adopted. The transactions in the market for the Eng lish Securities to-day have been moderate, but a decided improvement has taken place, ane. the general tendency of values has been in an upward direction. The Funds have risen about a per cent., Consols being 95Z to 1 for money and account. One of the principal causes of this im provement was a purchase of £15,000 by the Government Broker for the Savings Banks. Busi ness generally is very dull, partly in consequence of the settlement in foreign stocks and railway shares. The New Threes and the Reduced Annuities have advanced to 95 ; India Loan Debentures (1858), to 9 51 ; ditto (1859), to 941 ; but the Bonds re mained heavy, at 12 dis.; Bank Stock has im proved to 223 and 224 ; India ditto is steady, at , 218 ; Exchequer Bills are 235. to 265. prem. ; the New Indian Loan is about 97 981. In the Foreign Stock Market business has been ( moderately active, and prices in most instances are firmer. Turkish 8 per Cents. being 83 to 85 ; ditto New Loan, 73 to 75; Mexican has advanced to 20z g ; Brazilian 5 per Cents. to 1031 1041 ; and ditto 41 per Cents. to 948 95 ; Russian 41 per Cents, are steady, at 99i ; and Sardinian at 851. Spanish Certificates have receded to 4 1 g , and the Venezuelan New 21 per Cents. to 27/. The New Russian Loan is 1 to 1 prem. The transactions in the Railway Share Market have been extremely limited; in some instances, however, a slight advance has taken place. Eastern Counties and South Western have im proved ss. ; Midland, and South Eastern, 10s. ; a nd Caledonian, 1/. ; Lancashire and Yorkshire and Brighton, declined ss. ; and Great Western, 10s. The Foreign and Colonial lines have been almost neglected. Lombardo-Venetian shares realise 10/ ; and Great Luxembourg 6d ; East Indian have nnproved to 99/, ; and Grand Trunk of Canada to 3 41 to 34/. Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous shares are dull. Chartered of India, Australia and China, London and Westminster, and Ottoman Bank, have declined ss. ; and Peninsular and Oriental Stea m improved 10s. • BRITISH FUNDS—CLOSING PRICES. bank Stock .5 per Cent.

(Before the Lord Chief Baron.) TRIAL OF DR. SMETHURST.—SECOND DAY. The trial of Dr. Smethurst, for the wilful murder of Miss Isabella Bankes, at Richmond, was resumed this morning by the examination of Dr. Julius. This gentleman's evi dence is so perfectly familar to the public that we abstain from re-publishing it. Sergeant Parry, for the prisoner, subjected the witness to a severe cross-examination, but nothing that materially altered his evidence in chief was elicited. At the close of which, Sergeant Parry said—You are, I presume, a doctor of medicine ? Witness—Yes. Sergeant Parry—ls yours a London degree ? Witness—No, it is not. Sergeant Parry—What is it then ? Witness—lt is that of the Archbishop of Canterbury. Sergeant Parry—l did not know the Archbishop had the power of making a doctor of medicine. The Lord Chief Baron—Oh! yes, he has. He can also make a master of arts. Sergeant Parry—Make me a master of arts ? (Laughter.) The Lord Chief Baron—l did not say that. I aid a master of arts. (Laughter.) Sergeant Parry, to witness—Did you take, then, your degree as a mere matter of course ? Witness—No. The granting of such a degree by the archbishop is a very uncommon thing. Sergeant Parry—Are you a member of the College of Surgeons ? Witness—Yes. Sergeant Parry—l suppose you merely paid your fee and got your degree as a doctor of medicine, as a matter of course ? Witness—Oh, dear no ; I had to get two members of the College of Physicians, who had known me for a consider able period. They then certify that lam a proper person to receive such a degree, and it is then granted. • Sergeant Parry—You got such a certificate, and then the degree followed ? Witness—Yes ; it merely entitles you to call yourself "doctor." That's all. The Lord Chief Baron—You are a member of the Col lege of Surgeons ? Witness—Yes, my lord ; and also a licentiate of the Society of Apothecaries. The next witness examined was Dr. Bird, the partner of Dr. Julius. This gentleman's evidence has also repeatedly been published. He was decidedly of opinion that the death of Miss Bankes was caused by the constant adminis • tration of a mineral poison in small doses. Sergeant Parry, in cross-examination—Did you form any decided opinion that this lady was the subject of slot , arsenical poisoning before you were told so by Dr. Julius ? The Lord Chief Justice—He does not say so. He says he is of opinion that death was caused by the administra • tion of a mineral poison in small doses. Arsenic or anti mony would produce the effect. Sergeant Parry, to witness—Well, have you formed an opinion that death was caused by arsenical poisoning ? Witness—Yes, I have. Sergeant Parry—During your attendance on the lady, did you administer bismuth, ascetate of lead, and nitrate of silver ? Witness—Yes. [Dr. Bird, by reference to his book, ex plained the manner in which the medicines he supplied were mixed.] Sergeam Parry—Have you not come to the unfavourable opinion you have expressed as to the cause of this lady's death partly from what you have observed and partly from from. what Mr. Smethurst told ymi ? Witness—l have. The Lord Chief Baron—Did the symptoms as described to you by Dr.Smethurst differ from your own observation ? Witness—Not at all. The Lord Chief Baron—Did what the lady tell you her self agree with what you yourself saw? Witness—Entirely. Mr. A. W. Caudle, assistant to Drs. Julius and Bird, was next examined byMr. Clark. He explained the different mixtures made up and sent to Miss Bankes. When he re ceived the prescription, directing him to mix two drops of prussic acid, of Scheele' strength to each dose of the mix ture, he thought it was rather a large quantity, and Dr. Julius being from home, he gave four drops of prussic acid of pharmacopic instead of two drops of Scheele's. The Lord Chief Baron—Why did you do that ? Witness—Because four drops of the pharmacopic prussic acid would be under the strength of two drops of Scheele's. [Mr. Caudle then explained the sealing up of the jars con taining the two evacuations given to him by Dr. Julius, to be sent to Mr. Buzzard, of Great Marlborough• street, London.] Mr. Clark—ln any ono of the prescriptions you made up and sent to Miss Bankes, was there any arsenic, antimony, or bichlorate of mercury ? Witness—Most certainly not. Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant Parry—l do not think there is any difficulty in mixing nitrate of silver into pills. Mr. Julius, jun., proved taking the bottles containing the evacuations to Mr. Buzzard's; and Catherine Murray, domestic servant to that gentleman, stated that she took them in and loft thorn on the parlour table. Dr. Buzzard, surgeon, of Great Marlborough-street, said he took the bottles to Dr. Alfred Taylor, when the bottles were opened and a portion of their contents taken out for analysis. Mr. Barwell, assistant-surgeon at Charing-cross Hospi tal, stated the appearance of the body on a post-mortem examination. ILLNESS OF THE FOREMAN OF THE JURY. At three minutes to two o'clock the foreman of the jury was taken suddenly ill. Mr. Barwell, who happened to be giving his evidence at the time, instantly rendered him as• sistance, and in a moment afterwards Drs. Todd and Cope land were in attendance. Brandy was administered, but the foreman fell back in a fainting fit. Dr. Smethurst watched the juryman with the greatest anxiety. At length it was found that the juryman was not in a position to pro ceed, and he was led out of court, and the trial, as a matter of course, was suspended. The Lord Chief Baron said he did not see the necessity of entering so minutely into the medical details, and inti mated that the explanations given by the witness might have produced this lamentable effect upon the juror. He might have been affected by the very horror of the facts. After the lapse of about 20 minutes the juryman was brought back and the trial was resumed. He looked, ex tremely ill, and it is very doubtful whether,he will be able to last out during the day. Mr. Barwell was again placed in the box. The Lord Chief Baron—What is your opinion as to the cause of death P Witness—That it arose from irritant poisons slowly ad ministered. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CAUTION TO EMPLOTERS.—A young man, who gave the name of Thomas Henry Jenkins, was placed at the bar charged with stealing ribbons to the value of 10s. and a cambric handkerchief and a collar under the following cir cumstances : It appeared from the evidence that Mr. Garmeson, draper, 133, Tottenham-court. road, took the prisoner (who said he came from Liverpool) into his employ, without any character, on Friday last. Last evening the prisoner asked a follow-assistant for a pinch of snuff. This party gave him his box, which he kept in his possession ; and before the hour of closing, and without leave, he left the shop and returned at 11 o'clock at night in a state of intoxi cation. Mr. Garmeson sent the assistant to the pri soner, who was helplessly drunk in the kitchen, to ask to make out his account and leave the place. The assistant could not get any sense into the prisoner, and upon putting his hand into his pocket for his snuff box he found a small paper which contained the above articles. Prisoner had entered Mr. Garmeson's employ in the name of Norton, and had also gone in the name of Parkins amongst the other shopmen, of whom there were a great many in Mr. Garmeson's employ. After hearing the evidence, Mr. Beadon said Mr. Garmeson's conduct in taking a man into his employ with out previous inquiry into character was a premium for crime. He ought to have found out the prisoner's character before and not after this occurrence. If theft had not been found out in the fortunate man ner that it was other young men in the establishment might have been continually suspected. It was quite Mr. Garmeson's own fault that he had been robbed. Prisoner, who pleaded guilty, was then committed to six months' hard labour in the House of Correction. HAYMARKET FROLICS.—William Elliott and John Hayes, both gentlemanly looking persons, were charged with creating a disturbance in the Haymarket. Gordon, 336 A, said that at a little after five this morn ing he was on duty in the Haymarket, when he saw the two prisoners surrounded by a crowd of cabmen and prosti tutes, playing at single stick. He went up and remon strated with them upon their conduct, when Haynes struck him with the stick, but he believed not intentional. Both prisoners' hats had been run away with by the cabman and prostitutes, and he had great difficulty in getting them back. Haynes said, in reply to the charge, that himself and Elliot were most particular frOnds, and they were merely playing at single-stick out of fan, and for the sake of a joke. Mr. 13aadon advised them to leave off joking in such a way as this, and fined them ss. each. THAMES. INDUCING SEAMEN TO DESERT FROM THE ROYAL NAVY.—William Kretschmere, a young man, a native of Germany, and waiter at a coffee-shop, of No. 8, St. George street, alias Ratcliff-highway, appeared before Mr. Selfe, to answer two summonses which charged him with " un lawfully persuading James Gray and Frederica Alfred, persons in her Majesty's Navy, to desert and improperly absent themselves from their duty in the ship Imperieuss, belonging to her Majesty," by which he had rendered him self liable to a penalty of £2O, or imprisonment and hard labour, not exceeding six months in each case. Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, Arbour-square, Stepney, defended the accused party Mr. West, a barrister, instructed by the Admiralty soli citor, said the prosecution was directed by the Lords of the Admiralty, and it was of the highest possible impoirtance that the law should be made known, and that persons who tampered with seamen in our navy should be punished. Gray and Alfred, the seamen who were asked by the de fendant to desert from the Royal Navy, were examined at great length. It appeared that on the Ist of the present month they had leave to go on shorn at Portsmouth. Their leave of absence expired on the sth. They came to London and saw the defendant, who told them they could make a good thing of it, and that he could ship them on board an Austrian barque. They agreed 'on the solicitation of the defendant to abandon the Royal Navy. The defendant provided them with a lodging, and afterwards said he could not ship them in the Austrian barque but would provide them with berths on board an American ship bound 'to Australia. The defendant also promised them one or two months wages in advance, but did not mention the rate of wages. They were taken one evening to an -American shipping office, kept by a person named Moss Phillips, in Ratcliffe. They were not shipped in consequence of the lateness of the hour, and were told to call again, but on the following day they were appre hended as deserters, and sent on board the Crocodile, re ceiving ship, off the Tower. Alfred, who was whiskerless, also deposed that he had a very large pair of whiskers, and the defendant advised him to have them shaved off to ,prevent identification. Gray, who was a shaver, exterminated his whiskers. In cross-examination by Mr. Young, the witnesses said they came on shore at Portsmouth to have a spree, and were drunk in that town, and were also intoxicated every day they were in London. Edward Cray, a clerk employed by Moss Phillips, an agent for American ships, said the defendant brought Gray and Alfred to his master's shop, and said, " Can you ship these two men ? I want to get them away in an American ship as soon as possible." He told the defendant it was too late, and that he must come next day and he would then ship them. Mr. Young, in an able address, contended that the sailors, who were continually drunk while on shore, could not be depended upon, and that the defendant was not awTre they belonged to the Royal Navy when he introduced them to the American shipping office. Mr. Selfe was of opinion the case was clearly made out against the defendant, who had been unwisely and illegally interfering with two of our sailors, and inducing them to leave t'he service of their country. He fined the defendant £2O in each case, and in default of payment, sentenced him to six months'imprisonment. THE NEW COPPER COINAGE. (From the Derbyshire Courier.) A measure has been introduced in the House o Commons, by Mr. Gladstone, for a new copper coinage. It appears that the presentcopper coinage consists chiefly of coins defaced, and injured by wear and tear, of foreign coins, and of counterfeits. Only 15 per cent. of the copper coinage is since 1852. From examinations made in the large towns it appears that one-third of the coin is below its legal state. " The whole value of the copper coin age," says Mr. Gladstone, "is £BOO,OOO, and the quantity of copper is 3,530 tons. Taking the copper at £lO7 10s. the ton, the actual value is only £379,000, so that the copper coin is a pure token, the intrinsic value being less than one-half of the nominal or apparent value." The French have recently issued a coinage of a bronze metal, which is in appearance, in durability, in lightness, and size, much more convenient than their old and greatly effaced and battered copper. The demand for this new coin by the public has increased 50 per cent., but nevertheless the French Government has derived a profit of nearly £500,000, after paying all expenses, by the substitution of this new coin. Mr. Gladstone proposes to issue a bronze coinage, similar to that in use in Nova Scotia and Canada, and he expects that a considerable profit will accrue in this country, after paying all expenses, by the substitution of the new bronze token for the copper penny. We believe this move of Mr. Gladstone to be in the right direction. The present copper penny pretends to be of intrinsic value, but is, as Mr. Gladstone observes, a pure token. The new bronze penny will be a pure token, and it will bear what it is on its face and in appearance. The use of money is to provide a medium for the exchange of commodities, and a legal means of dis charging indebtedness, and paying taxes. Former attempts to supply a copper coinage have in a great measure failed ; for no sooner did the price of copper rise above that at which the coinage was calculated, than the coins were withdrawn from circulation and melted down. The bronze coins will be liable to no such objection ; they will be intrinsically only about one-half of their nominal value, and will, therefore, not be melted or ex ported, but will continue to discharge the function of money for which they will be made. This is an entire departure from the bullionist principle that money should possess intrinsic valve. It is true that the silver coinage is about 7 per cent. below its intrinsic value, and to that circumstance we are indebted for the retention of our silver money at home, and for its not being melted. But this new bronze coinage will go much farther ; it will pos sess but one-half of its nominal value, and be a mere token. The defect of our gold coinage is that being of intrinsic value, therefore it is liable to be exported and melted, and Peel's system makes the whole of our circulating medium, bank notes, as well as the commercial money of the country — namely, cheques and bills of exchange depend on this gold basis, which is constantly liable to be greatly contracted by exportation. Hence com mercial depression, panics, ruin, and distress. These things this country has been content to endure for the last 40 years in support of the bullionist theory that money should possess intrinsic value. And merely in support of an abstract theory, for prac tically whenever a severe drain of bullion takes place, as in 1825, 1847, and 1857, the Bank is em powered to issue paper money without the neces sary amount of gold in its coffers to ensure con vertibility, and thus maintain the principle of the intrinsic value of the bank note, the supposed representative of the sovereign. A chapel, lately occupied by a congregation of Independents, in Wilson-street, Drury-lane, at the back of St. Martin's Hall, has been pirchased for £1,600 by a Catholic gentleman, and presented by him to the diocese It is speedily to be opened under the patronage of our Lady of Dolours and St, C ha rles Borromeo.— Weeny Register. SPORTING NOTES. THE YORK GATHERING Racing men displayed much alacrity in quitting London for York. They expect a great meeting at the city 6f un known antiquity, and they believe that they will recover much of their recent losses. The programme certainly presents an extraordinary array of stakes, and if specula tion be languid, money, and not opportunity, will be the cause. Still the old bettifig spirit seems to have departed from the Ring, and the "Phantom Bookmakers" are even afraid of their own shadows. It would be absurd to state that Summerside would win the Third Bien nial Stakes, because, as Hamlet would say, it " needs no ghost to tell us that." But a doubt exists respecting her running, and if she be reserved for the Leger, John Scott will carry off the stake with either Gamester or Phantom. The remarks which I have penned respecting Summer side apply to all her engagements at York, and I am there fore compelled to place her chance out of consideration for every race for which she may be engaged. I must, there fore, look to Yellow Rose to win the Yorkshire Oaks. For the Convivial Stakes, I have received a favourable report of the Rap, and if a " darkie" wins I shall expect him to pull through. For the Chesterfield Handicap I shall stand upon Hare foot and Bankrupt. To-morrew I shall discuss the chances for the Ebor Handicap. A FRESH MAN. ARRIVALS AT YORK.

We are further informed that, instead of going out into the Atlantic, Rs orginally intended, she will proceed, first to Cherbourg, next to Portland, and then. to various other parts off our own coasts. THE NAUTICAL INSTRUMENTS OF THE GREAT EASTERN.—The nautical instruments for the Great Eastern which have just been completed by Mr. John Grey, of Liverpool, were publicly exhibited at the Exchange in that town yesterday. They consist of two large compasses, and a patent binacle, much above the ordinary size, and very neat in workmanship. In connection with the binacle is an apparatus for the adjustment of compasses, as sane• tioned by the Board of Trade. THE EMPEROR AND ZOUAVE.—The Corrier des Vosges has the following :—" A few days ago a Zouave, named Galmiche, of the village of Ormont, fifteen years in the service, and who has taken part in twenty-eight cam reigns, was trudging along the road from Epinal to Re miremont, with a stick in his hand plucked from a tree, and only thirteen sous in his pocket. He was on the way to rejoin his regiment in Africa, and though the distance was great and the weather hot, he was lighthearted and roared a patriotic song. Presently he heard the crack of a postilion's whip, and a few seconds after a car riage came up. In the carriage was the Em peror, and not without emotion the Zouave gave his Majesty the military salute. The Emperor had the carriage stopped, and asked him, Where are you going, my friend ?" To Africa, Sire !" Were you with us in Italy ?" Do not mention it, Sire, you make my heart ache! I was ill, taking the waters ; but I was wounded in the Crimea, and I have heard that the Austrians were so well handled in Italy that the presence of your poor servant was not necessary I' Your journey is a difficult one to make in this hot weather 1' Sire, it is not so hot as it was at Solferino 1' The Emperor smiled, and slipping two pieces of 20fr. into the man's hand, wished him a good journey, and drove off. The Zouave in his delight exclaimed, What a capital bottle of wine I will drink to-night to the health of the Emperor.' " _ _ . EXTRAORDINARY ESCAPE.—OR Friday last a child siY years of ago, playing near a well in the parish of West Lulworth, slipped, as it is supp ose d, an d f e ll with the r ope and bucket through the opening. The alarm being given by a neighbour, and another rope procured, a man named James Baker at once commenced the perilous descent, and after a painful delay of nearly ten minutes, occasioned by the necessity which occurred of lengthening the rope, appeared in safety at the well's mouth with the child, whom he had found when he reached him sustaining himself by the bucket in the water. Every attention was paid imme diately to the little sufferer, who, though much exhausted, appeared to have received only a few bruises of no serious importance. When we mention that he fell a depth of nearly 90 feet his preservation must be considered as most wonderful. But for the courage and promptitude of James Baker, which merits the highest praise, the result would doubtless have been the reverse of that which it is our pleasure to reocord,=-Salisbury Arena. 89 9l MISCELLANEOUS.

Her Majesty, his Royal Highness the Prince Consort, their Royal Highnesses Pritice Alfred, Prince Arthur, and the Princesses Alice and Helena, with the suite in attendance, together with Sir Geo. Cornewall Lewis, landed at Osborne yesterday morning from the Victoria and Albert Royal yacht about 9 o'clock, on her Majesty's return from the Channel Islands. The Emerald frigate, with the Osborne, Dasher, Fairy, &c. arrived in Cowes-roadi shortly afterwards. The Royal squadron brought up in Yarmouth-roads on Friday evening, as stated in The Sun of yesterday, and sailed early the fol lowing morning for the Channel Islands, arriving at St. Helier's, Jersey, about 9 a.m. Her Majesty, with the Prince Consort, Royal family, and suite, landed at St. Helier's, and drove across to Goree, the Royal squadron steaming round to the latter port, where her Majesty re-embarked about 7 p.m. The squadron remained at anchor all that night, getting under weigh the following morning, and arriving at Guernsey about noon, where her Ma jesty landed at St. Helier's, and remained on shore about three hours. Her Majesty was received with the greatest enthusiasm on both the islands. The squadron weighed in the evening for Alderney, where they anchored for the night, leaving again early yesterday morning on their return for Os borne, The Emerald and Dasher were despatched on their return some time before the remainder of the squadron. Sir G. C. Lewis landed at Portsmouth from Os borne at 3.30 p.m. Capt. John Borlase, C. 8., took up his commission yesterday, at Portsmouth, as the future captain of the Dauntless. The ship will never be manned by volunteers until it is stated explicitly where she will be stationed during her commission. She re tains her officers and crew, who will not turn over to the Pearl with Capt. Edmonstone, as has been stated. Capt. (W.) Edmonstone (late of the Dauntless) hoisted the pendant yesterday on board the Pearl, 21, screw corvette, now under repairs in No. 1 dock at Portsmouth. The Pearl is a remarkably fine vessel of her class, and will no doubt soon get manned. She is expected to relieve the Vesuvius, carrying the broad pendant of Commodore C. Wise, on the coast of Africa. The Vulcan, screw troopship, Corn. Strode, steamed out of Portsmouth harbour yesterday„ and after trying her machinery down the West Chan nel (contractor's trial), returned to moorings in the harbour. The Sidon, 22, paddle, Capt. Crawford, steamed out of Portsmouth harbour yesterday to Spithead, exchanging the customary salutes with the Victory flagship. Admiral Sir Ch•Lrles Napier proceeded to Spithead in the ship, and afterwards paid a visit to the Grand Duke Constantine at Ryde. The Simoon, screw troopship, Commander I. M. Cooke, refitting at Portsmouth, is expected to be out of the hands of the shipwrights and factory hands by the 10th proximo. The whole of the crew to a man have rejoined from their leave of absence. The captain's coxwain, George Moore, received yesterday, through the hands of Capt. Cooke. the Royal Humane Society's medal for sav ing life on two occasions,—that of a soldier who jumped over board in Trincomalee while in a state of insanity, and that of a midshipman who was seized with cramp while bathing at Bombay. On one of the occasions the water was swarming with sharks. A portion of the Channel fleet is expected to pro ceed on a cruise in the Channel in a few days. The following appointments were made Yester day at the Admiralty :—Lieut. Walter. 'J. 11. Grubbe, to the Pearl ; W. B. Blaney, assistant paymaster, to the Cossack ; and W. P. Albin, clerk, to the Nile. WOOLWICH, AUG. 15. EXPERIMENTS AT THE DOCKYARD.—This night, from 8 until 10 o'clock, a series of interesting ex periments were carried out in the Thames, opposite the Dockyard and Royal Arsenal, for the purpose of testing an invention of M. Ferdinand Silas, a French gentleman, showing the practicability of floating lights, which may be used as s i g nals, or for purposes oidestruction. Commodore. Superin tendent J. R. Drummond, accompanied by the inventor and numerous scientific gentlemen, and officers cf the Dockyard, embarked on board the Bustler steam vessel, from which the combustible material was thrown into the water, and a most intense illumination was the result, the fire floating about a quarter of a mile, and even passing under the water without being extinguished. THE ARMY. A partial review of the troops in Portsmouth garrison took place on Southsea Common yesterday, preparatory to the weekly brigading on a more extensive scale, which will be commenced about the 18th inst. Under the application of the new system of flog ging on conviction of all cases of desertion, the ‘‘ Black Monday," which some time ago obtained its denomination in th - . 1 Artillery Garrison, Wool wich, has been revived with increased severity. For several weeks past each successive Monday has been ushered in by " punishment parade," and the corporal punishment of some three or four men. Yesterday various detachments of the batteries belonging to the depot brigade of the Royal Artillery were mustered at six am., and were marched to the Riding-house establishment to witness the flogging of six men, mostly recruits, who have recently joined the brigade, and have since deserted. For this crime they were adjudged by regimental and district courts-martial to receive 50 lashes, and ti suffer a term of imprisonment of from 50 to 100 days in Fort Clarence or some other of her Majesty's gaols. A man belonging to the Ist Garrison Brigade, named Michael Crofton, who only enlisted about three weeks ago, has been ar rested in a course of nightly depredations and plundering, commencing from the first night of his admission into the corps. It appears that the sys tem he pursued was that of a well practised hand, and that it was commenced short l y after his enlist ment. One night he succeeded in robbing a ser geant of £l5, with which he got s uccessfully off , and did not make his appearance afterwards in the daytime, but after night fall he was in the habit of repairing to the barrack s, which he had made hi.m self well acquainted with, and after un dressing himself in the corrido rs and pa . ssages leading . to the sleeping-rooms, he stole softly in, and made . himself master of whatever money or portable articles he could. On the last occasion, however, having been accosted by the sentry on . attempting to pass the gate, he was unable to give a satisfactory reply, and was marched to the guard-room under arrest. During his examination he treated the matter with much apathy and carelessness, informing his com manding officer that he was a ticket-of-leave con vict, and had n o fear of military regulations. The list of prisoners now under confinement in the cells o f the Artillery Barracks is unusually long; many of them will be tried by garrison court-martial their crimes being held to be beyond the jurisdic tion of the minor regimental and district courts. A SERVANT GIRL COMMITTED FOR CHILD MURDER.—Mary Ann Gibbons, a girl of 15, was charged before the Liverpool magistrates yesterday with the wilful murder of a little boy 4f years of age, belonging to Mr. and Mrs. Thompson, of Conway-street, Everton. Thompson is an officer in the local police, and the prisoner lived at his house as a servant. On the 21st July the little boy was missed, and late the same night his body was found floating in the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, about two miles from Thompson's house. The case was brought before the coro ner in a day or t wo afterwards, and Gibbons arrested , but after hearing th e ev id ence the jury returned an o pen o ye ce r; diet. Subsequent investigations, however, by the police, resulted in the discovery of a number o 1 circumstan ces rano agent, Gb ons w t: r which tend to show that, either as a principal strasfor trial at the o e k d e p ta ar i t l e i d n be e f s :: Y h n e g m t h a g e ltrd.yhteesred circum stancesay and, tallish, the prisoner will be committed . a formal adjournment was Wade until neat clay.
