Statements continue to be circulated regarding additional projects for ocean telegraphy, but it llla Y he hop e d t h e pu bli c w ill b ear i n m i n d th a t, ex cept, in cases where an exclus i ve concess i on may 'aye been obtained, there can be but one result of any mania in this direction. Although each new cO4l PanY may boast that it can do the work of Its Predecessors at half price, it will be in the pow er of its predecessors to put down their rates to a point that would lead no profit t° anY of th em . S ooner or l a te r , if they are t° be threatened with extinction, existing com panies will naturally say, " IVe had better voluntarily adopt a course of temporary ruin in O rder to prevent new rivals from coming into life, after which we.can go back to remunerative terms." U r, Supposing nuy new ones to be absolutely sub scribed and constructed, they will then offer to carry messages for nothing, in order to force the new ones t o propose a combination by which they may h enceforth compel the public to submit to any t4 riff they may choose to adopt, and which tariff, likel the ex i s ti ng hi g h railway fares, will, at the b est, be wholly inadequate to repair the losses from e previous contest. In whatever way the question ma y be examined, it seems evident that no result o f a conti nuance of t h e specu l at i on i n i ts present form is possible, sa v e that of ruin to the companies and damage to the commercial interests of the c °untry, It is stat e d th at i n f ormat i on j ust rece i ve d f rom the No rth - Western Provinces of India is calculated .. j e : elie ve the anxiety lately felt concerning the ex pected famine.

The Frankfort Bourse is engaged but to a small extent in the Vienna speculations, but many opera tors in South Germany may be seriously compro mised. At a meeting of policy-holders of the Albert Assurance Company at Berli❑ it was resolved not to acquiesce in any reconstruction of the company under any form whatever, but to petition the Chan c:,llor of the _North German Confederation to in tervene in their favour in the English Courts, so that the affair may he wound up iu bankruptcy, in order to sustain and enforce the responsibility of the shareholders. The number of telegrams de spatched in the North German Confederation in 1868 was 4,304,600, against 3,093,987 in 1867 ; and the produce was 1,902,528 thalers, against 1,562,117 thalers. Further small failures continue to be announced among the Lancashire cotton manufacturers. At a meeting yesterday of the Merchant Banking Company of London (Limited) a dividend was de clared at the rate of 5 per cent per annum, and the death of Mr. Watson and the retirement of Mr. Pearce were announced.

NORTIIERN DISTRICT.—On northern moors birds are very wild and packed, so that sportsmen have little encouragement to prosecute grouse shooting. A fair bag is occasionally made, but it is very sel dom that sportsmen go out on the moors. The forests are now more frequented by thorn. Deer aro generally in splendid condition, and numerous. The Earl of Seafield and Lord Reidhaven, in the Bal macaan Forest, Inverness-shire, have had a good commencement. In the Glenmore, Gaico, and Loch Erricht Forrest; Badenoch, several fine stags have lately fallen. In Glenavon Lord Charteria killed several stags within the past week ; while in Glenfiddoch Lord March and Lord Francis Gordon Lennox have been attended with a great success. The Earl of Fife and Lord Macduff, in Braemar Forest, are enjoying excellent sport. ALYTIL—We have to hand accounts of the last few days' doings on the moors, and find that good sport continues to be had. At Tulchan, the Earl of Airlie and party obtain excellent sport. Up to Saturday last 15 stags had been brought down, weighing from 11 to 15ist. The best head, with 11 points, was shot by the Earl of Airlie. Lord Ogilvy succeeded on the 2lth ult. in bringing down a stag, which weighed 13st. 21b. ; and on the 30,h, Lord Woodhaven shot his first stag in the same forest at a very long range. It had a head of eight points. The daily bags of grouse there range from 11 to 12 brace. The Earl of Kimberley and Lord Woodhaven, on the 31 st ult., :J i agged n a few hours 12 brace of grouse and two hares ; and on the Ist inst., the Earl of Airlie, the Earl of Kim berley, and Lord Woodhaven bagged 15 brace of arouse and 4 hares in about 4 hours. O a the Banff t, moors, Sir George Itamsay's party still make bags of from 25 to 35 brace of grouse. At Glenhead, Mr. Thomasson and party average from 15 to 20 brace of grouse, betides hares and snipes. At Brew lands, Capt. Small and party, and at Auchinleish, Lord Gleneairn, are getting excellent sport. The same remarks apply to the moors of Inverhardy and Cammock. On the Lintrathen moors, Mr. Duff and party have still an abundance of birds. RAILWAYS.—PREFERENCE SHARES AND STOCKS. With Dividends contingent on tho Profits of each separate year.

TIIIJESDAY. the Accounts-of the Emperor's health are again more favourable, but it seems certain that his condition last week was more serious than the official papers would have had us believe. Dr. Fauvel was obliged to pass the night at St. Cloud at the begin ning of last week, and other serious facts aro being disclosed. It is not true, as some have supposed, that the visitors at St. Cloud are admitted to the Emperor; on tha contrary, very few of those whose names figure in the de tails really see him. M. Rouher saw him for a abort time, and M. Pietri also had a brief interview, but these were exceptions to the rule. The public will not feel satisfied until the Emperor has ahem' himself in Paris and appeared to be convalescent. The Emperor at any rate has presided over a Council of MinisterA and taken an animated pint in the discussions. A decisive contradiction has been given to the statement that Dr. Chelins had been sent fur from Heidelberg to attend on the Emperor. The O f ficial Gazette of Carlsrule states that the doctor received information that the pro posed consultation would not take place in consequence of the improvement of the Emperor. It is rumoured that a confidential circular has been addressed to the prefects to request them to asccsLain what the public would think of a regency for a limited period, or of an abdication if the Emperor's health became more seriously affected.. Those who will not give up all hope of the Empress's journey to the East call attention to the circumstance that 11. Nigra is still stay ing In Paris when he was expected to take a holiday. The cause assigned for his delay is that he is to accompany the Empress to Venice. The Senatus-Consultum does not appear this morning in the Journal (Vide!, altln ug'i it was yesterday signed by the Emperor —a fact which has occasioned some little surprise. The Patrie of this morning reminds us that the regular form fixed by the decree of December 1852 will be observed. This decree entrusts to the Minister of Justice the task of superintending the publication of such docu ments. The act of Imperial assent and the promulgation will quote the official report of the debate, and will be signed by the Emperor, and probably countersigned by all the Ministers. This promulgation, according to the Patrie, will take place immediately. I have already told you that the uncertainty respecting the convocation of the Chamber of Deputies is exciting a good deal of comment. There is no apparent reason for a delay which only serves to irritate the people, and to shake their confidence in the constitutional Reformers. The Liberti of this morning thinks that the three-weeks' holiday of M. Magne gives confirmation to the rumour that the Corps Ltgislatif is not likely to resume its labours until the end of October. There seems to be no doubt that a serious difference exists in the Cabinet on this point. There are, as you know, two parties among the Ministers, one of which, headed by M. Magne and M. do Chasseloup-Laubat, is anxious to put the widest and most liberal interpretation on the Senatus-Consultum ; the other, of which 111, de Forcade is the most prominent representative is the faction, which, in spite of liberal professions clings to the old abuses, and aims at the retention of the press laws, the pressure on the people through the prefects, &c. It is probable that this difference, if not speedily adjusted, may produce a Ministerial crisis. I hear that some slight surprise is expressed in high political circles at the slight effect which the Senatus- Consult= has produced on the public. Thu Libcrtl, tells a story of a very great lady who confided to one of our statesmen her doubt as to the timeliness of the measure. Prince Gortschakoff is still in Paris. At another time the presence of the Chancellor of the Russian Empire in our midst would inevitably give rise to numberless conjec tures. However, we arc all so engrossed in the Emperor's illness and the topics of the day that the Prince has been scarcely noticed. The chief effect produced has been upon the membersnf the Corps Diplomats tut:, most of whom have hurried back from their rural retreats ti keep guard against the possible designs of Russia. I have heard it stated that it is fully believed at the embassies that the Prince's object is to ascertain the real condition of the Emperor and the state of public .feeling in the capital. If such be the case, Count Staekelherl. the Russian Ambassador, ought to feel flattered at the 'high estimate placed on his sagacity and insight. Prince Gortschakoff has not yet penetrated to St. Cloud, so the most important part of his mission is, as yet, unfulfilled ; but he is said to have been promenading Paris, and mixing freely with the people, Hamlin Alraschid fashion.

His first wife was a daughter of the celebrated pianist, Liszt. The Rappel announces that M. Gambetta has progressed towards recovery, and that his friends fully expect lie will be able to take his seat when the Legislative .Body assembles. The Independence Beige was seized yesterday and today, and the effect has been to excite public attention and curiosity. All sorts of conjectures are - formed on the enb ject, and the worst possible interpretation is put upon this official interference. The Liberte declares that censure imparts to political articles the impertanceth at pet-seen Lion gives to the most mediocre men. The Prussians profess to I , e very much amused at a recent discovery made by the Sikte. The founder of the new order has mistaken the name of a suburb at Berlin, Moabit, for that of a religious community, and calls the Dominicans established there the Moabites, a monastic order hitherto unknown to the ecclesiastical authorities. Several journals announce the resignation of M. de Vougy, Director• General of the Telegraphs. llis site. cessor, it is said, will be M. Margfoy, who in 1852 was the promoter of the reform which reduced the cost of messages to If. for Paris, and 2f. for the provinces. BANK OF FRANCE. PARIS, Sept. 9.

THE VACCINATION QUESTION AGAIN.—A poor woman, ihe mother of six children, waited upon Mr. Vaughan to request his advice unner the following circumstances: A short time ago she took her youngest child to the surgery of Dr. Bennett, the public vaccinator for the ds trict. It was then iu a healthy condition, and it was only under the threat of a prosecution that she was induced to go. The child was vaccinated by the assistant of Dr. Bennett, in the absence of the latter, and it had since. become literally covered with sores. The child in ques tion was produced in Court, and certainly presented a frightful aspct, the face, body, and limbs of the poor little girl (apparently but 6 mouths old) being spotted with sores, which emitted the most offensive smell. it was under stood to be the impression of the doctor's assistant that the child was suffering from chicken-pox, in an aggra vated form, but another medical man, to whom she (the mother) had tak,:n the child, was of opinion that the child had been poisoned by the vaccine matt T. Mr. Vaughan directed that Dr. Bennett should be sent for, and a proper inquiry instituted as to the actual cause of the sad condition of the child, which must be pliced under proper tic inoned;atoly. MARLBOROUGII STREET. A BRUTAL IluszANn.—llenry James Hid, a river water man, was brought before Mr Knot on a warrant charging him with assaulting his wife. Tho oemple.nant a respectable-looking woman, said that ou the 24th April last her husband came up to her while she had her child iu her arms, and said he wanted to speak to her; but as he had sold off their home some weeks before, and turned her and her children into the street, she told him she did not want anything to say to him and to go away. lie then followed her into Carnaby-street, and asked her to assist him with money, and on her refusing ho gave her a violent blow on the nose. She took no steps against him at the time, but on his threatening her a few days afterwards she applied for a warrant against him, but it was never put in force. Last Monday night he came to her and kicked her in the eye while she was lying on the bed with her child. All she wanted was to have her hus band bound over not to annoy her. The prisoner said he would not annoy his wife any more. Henry Palmer3l C, said that on taking the prisoner into custody he said that his wife had aggravated him to do what he had done. Mr. Knox said ho would not sentence the prisoner to the full term, because, perhaps, when he came out of prison ho would think better of his conduct, but he would commit him for - three mouths with hard labour. THAMES. THE SHIP INDIAN EMPIILE.-0 wing to the severe ill ness of Captain Douchar, the master of the Indian Em pire, be could not attend this Court yesterday to meet the charge of assaulting Peter Petersed, a Swedish seaman, and his recognisances wore declared to be forfeited, the Magistrate having no alternative ; but owing to the pecu liar circumstances of tho case the law will not be enforced. J. Whitmore, second mate of the ship, who stands charged with beating the complainant with an iron belaying pin surrendered, and after evidence had been given of the general insubordinate conduct of the complainant, which the magistrate said was no answer to the charge, the pri soner was committed for trial, ba:l being taken for his appearance, and ho will be examined as a witness for Captain Deuchar on Friday next, if that gentleman is then well on Hugh to appear. . This niorning inspector Alston, of the Thames Police, took charge of the witnesses fur the prosecution, in pur suance of instructions front Mr. Howard, district superin tendent of Metropolitan Police, and board and ludginA will be provided for them until the trial. The witnesses for the prosecution and the &fence also received their notices to appear at tho Assessors this day. Tito case will be tried at the Central Criminal Count. )N JACK SIIOE•BLACK BitIGADE.—A boy of the name of Brown, appeared to answer a summons taken out by the police—" That he Brown, nut having a license, had plied his calling as a shoe-black at the B tst IndiA road station, that being a station appropriated by the Police Commissioners to be used only by the licensed shoe-blacks," contrary to the statute. Mr. Joseph Smith, solicitor, of Arbour-square, was en gaged by the briga le to represent the committee of the society, and stated to the magistrate, Mr. Benson, the moral and social advantages of these societies, which are a refuge for homeless and destitute boys, and which, with out any needless restraint, afford them an opportunity of getting an honest living, at the same time ensuring them a home, board, and clothing. Ile informed the magistrate that while any shoeless lad could join the brigade, yet a good many unlicensed shoeblacks, from a hatred to the dis cipline of the brigade societies, preferred the freedom of cam ing on a combined occupation of pickpockets, black guards, gamblers, and potty thieves, and intrude them selves, from eight to twelve in number, to annoy and in terfere with the orderly and licensed shoeblack. The Inspector of the Poplar station complained. of the disorderly conduct of those intruding shoeblacks and the nuisance they were to the public, seeing thy were of bad character and vulgar conduct; and the police having cor roborated the evidence in support of the complaint, the Magistrate tined the defendant 55., or five days' imprison ment in default of payment, observing at the same time that he hoped ha had not the money to pay the fine with, as he had been twice summoned b.fore with others, and had thou promised never to go to the station again. The boy was committed in default of payment. 711 E BRUSSELS FETES. (From a Correspondent of the Morning Herald) BRUSSELS, Sept. 9. The Englishman has the repute, abroad, to be of a nature of which grumbling is an essential feature. Be it as it may, from what I learn on every side, your Volunteers invited to the international fetes, to take place in a week or so at Liege, will have no motive to indulge in the propensity ascribed to them. Colonel Thomson, of the Tower Hamlets Volunteer Brigade, has done everything consis tent with the high character your nation enjoys in Belgium, to ensure to your citizen soldiers, both at Liege and Brussels, a reception worthy of England and Belgium. And the task was not an easy one, considering the splendid reception you gave to our Garde* Civiques and Volunteers two years ago. True, Liege does not possess the conditions, almost unlimited, of hospitality which are to be found in the commercial metropolis of the two hemispheres, but as far as goodwill and cordiality are concerned Liege will fairly vie with London. Fully 1,500 English Volunteers are expected at Liege. All the towns from Ostend to Liege have shown much eagerness to give to the English Volunteers the most cordial welcome ; but I thin!: that this much-coveted privilege will be enjoyed by Ostend, Louvain, and Spa ; and as to the two first named cities, it can possibly be but a flying one ; were it otherwise, the journey would be broken rather sadly. No doubt you already know that the official reception of the foreign Volunteers and National Guards, at Liege, will take place on Sunday, the 19th inst. They will be met in the forenoon, at the Place des Guillemins, near the railway station, by the Gardes Civiques and Volunteers of Liege, and escorted by them to the Hotel de Ville, where they will be welcomed by the burgomaster of Liege, the Echevins, &c. No doubt is entertained at Liege and here that the British Volunteers will be formed in battalion and companies, and that the whole body will be placed under the command of Colonel Thomson, who has displayed so much exertion, zeal, pluck, and discretion on behalf of your coun trymen. I hear, however, that the leadership in chief of them may devolve upon the senior colonel. If so, Liege and Brussels will be rather disappointed ; but as the Belgians know by experience that you know how to manage those affairs to your own ge neral satisfaction, they entertain no misgivings on that head. We expect at Liege about 1,600 Gardes Na_ tionaux and Volunteers from France, Holland, Switzerland, and Germany. They will, no doubt, be picked from the best sharpshooters of those countries ; so the shooting at Liege and Spa will be of the most interesting international tic that has yet happened in Europe. The comfort of the British Volunteers is far from having been neglected. They will find that at Liege every possible accommodation has been provided for them. What do you say of a bed and de joiner a la fourchette for 3s. 6(1. a day ? The lug gage transit, the safe and prompt distribution of letters, and exchange of money, have been alto attended to in the most simple, though efficacious manner. The multifarious duties of quartermaster general have been entrusted to Mr. P. de Keyser, of London. The English Volunteers will witness on the 27th inst., at Brussels, the greatest review of the BA gian army ever held in that kingdom. I am able to give you full information on that point. The army corps to be reviewed by the King will consist of three war divisions, a reserve, and a park of artil lery, and a reserve of cavalry. Every division will comprehend a company of engineers, a battalion of riflemen ; three regiments of infantry, of three battalions each, two batterie of artillery, and a regiment of cavalry. The reserve and park of artillery will be composed of three regiments of siege artillery, of a regiment of engineers, of a company of pontonecra, with the half of its crew mounted upon 25 barques; of a company of telegraphists with instrumcnts and carriages ; of six mounted batteries and four hole° batteries.

Loveless, appointed to inves tigate the cases of the in-pensioners of Greenwich Hospital, and award the Ft pecial pensions to those men desirous of leaving that establishment, under the provisions of the Act of 1869, meet daily at Greenwich Hospital, and have nearly concluded their labours. Lord John Hay and Mr. G. 0. Tre velyan inspected the pensioners in their wards on Tuesday last, and the men expressed themselves pleased and satisfied with the pensions awarded to them. We understand that all the pensioners who havo either friends to take care of them or who are not absolutely helpless and bedridden have availed themselves of the offer of leaving the institution, and that the number left on the Ist of October next will be so reduced as to be easily accommo dated in the Somerset Ward of the infirmary, thereby leaving the whole range of the hospital and infirmary vacant, and at the disposal of the Admiralty. The Warrior, armour-plated screw steamship, Capt. Stirling, was placed in dock at Portsmouth yesterday to have her bottom cleaned and surveyed. It is reported she will be sent to the Mediterranean to complete her commission. rir• led sO l oar
