The markets for foreign and esisnial prodame flu!' in:: the last ft!tv ,hys havo 11 jt. issen rptit - e so ictive. Tea has been at flan rates, lad since the dlit ssx the letters by the Overland Mail prices have 1:we1. fully maintained. For sugar suitable for home use there has been less inquiry, the trade having sup plied themselves with sufficient for immediate re quirements. For exportation there has been a moderate inquiry, and low-priced qualities have been sought after at fully late va lues. Coffee has not been very active, as large quantities are announced for public compe tition during the present week. Rice has•been and Fruit has been in moderate favour; currants have been enquired for for exportation, acid the first parcel of new Valeutia Raisens is daily expected. Saltpetre has been dull, only the fiber qualities supporting previous values, holders demanding slightly improved rates. For tallow there has been a limited enquiry ; the trade have bought very sparingly, and but little speculative business has been transacted. In the Liverpool Cotton Market, yesterday, a moderate business was transacted, and 6,000 bales were disposed of at full rates. The Railway Share, Market closed quietly, and prices tended downward, The arrivals of specie announced last evening were £169,370 from the West Indies by the La Plata; £145,128 from the United States by the America ; and £65,000 in gold from Russia. About £121,000 in Australian and Russian gold was taken into the Bank yesterday afternoon. The demand for money has relaxed and the mar ket again exhibits extreme easiness. Choice bills are negotiated at 2-I per cent., and the result is that few applications for discount are received at the Bank. Si The effect produced by the preparations made for the 31 Indian Debentures have, therefore been merely temporary. The Eastern exchanges continue very favourable to this country, and as the mail yesterday reported a further decline in the quotations at Bombay, no expectation exists of any immediate re sumption of extensive shipments of silver. r t The American exchange has also risen to .. It , 1091 110. A moderate amount of specie may is therefore be anticipated from that quarter, as a small profit is derivable from such remittances. As, in st, addition, considerable supplies are coming forward 1 , from Australia, there can be no doubt that an it:flux at ; of the precious metals will still conti;me is excess of the exports from this country , and the present Keck of bullion at the Bank of Isi'ng7and is likely to he ss maintained with steadiness. The tenders for the remaining partion of the East India loan have bi en opened to:da - y. The minimum fixed by the directors was 97. The highest b;ddina was 99, and the lowest we helitve was 7:1,. ThZ sw amount subscribed was within .C 400,000 of the required capital. A meeting of the shareholders of the Alliance Bank took place to-day. It appea rd from the re p ort that `ai, the business of the bank had fallen off one-half since the commencement of 1857, and that the committee of the Stock Exchange still refused to quote the shares of the company. It was stated , in re p l y by 11 1 Mr. Stokes, the manager, that the acc umulated profits 51, were about £25,000, or about £2 10s. per share, but 3t(l it was thought better to let the q uestion of dividend st ( stand over to the 15th September, when the share holders would be again called together to decide as to st ; the continuance of the company. It appears to be I the intention of the board to pay out the dissentients at par, supposing others to rema in willin g to con tinue the undertaking. The resolution for the ad -11 journment was carried, and a vote of thanks was passed to the Chairman, Mr. HigginQ, for presiding. There has been rather more firmnessin the English 4t ! Stock Market to-day, but there is still an absence of animation, which occasions a heav y tone. Atten tion 3a tion for the moment is principally occupied with the ci Indian Loan, the tenders for which have been opened to-day. Nothing seems to excite activity. The buoyancy of the Paris Bourse, the influx of gold, and the r esumed easiness of money 3 have been inoperative. Co nsols have been 961 for i t money, and 968, buyers, for account. Bank Stock is firm at 227 to 228. The New 3 per Cents., and the , Reduced Annuities remain steady at 96-i- to 97.

Venezuelan Bonds have been at rather lower rates. st ; It appears from the advices just received that the it tranquillity of the republic is again likely to be dis ets - turbed by a reactionary feeling in favour of Mona gag, which has no doubt been stimulated by at( certain measures of the consular authorities in behalf cf the English and French Governments. It is sta' e 1 that the surrender of the ex-President and his Ministers, Gni zeppi and Guiterrez, has been demanded, and also that the Governor of Caraccas should be deposed. As a reprisal would be con strued into a casus betli, it may naturall y be ex- Iv pected that considerabie excitement prevailed. Under these circumstances later advices are anxiously s a t t, awa ited by the bondholders a nd those who are other wi'e interested in the progress of the country. In the Foreign Stock Market business is quite, an are d prices remain steady. Turkish 6 per Cents. 26A- ; Venezuela 5 per Cents., 391 ; Brazilian 5 per Cents., 103 ; ditto Scrip, par to prem. ; Mexican 3 per Cents. 201, 21 ; and Dutch 4 per Cents, 1018. A very limited business has been reported in the Railway Share Market this morning, and in most instances a further reduction of ab..;ut to per cent_ has taken place in values. Edinburgh and Glasgow, 'Great Western and South-Eastern have receded 55.; Eastern Counties and Nor:h British, 10s. ; Brighton, 1,55. ; and Great Northern , £ 1 ; Lancashire and Yorkshire improved 10s.; and 'Mid land, ss. The Foreign and Colonial lines were very dull. Paris and Lyons imp roved about 4, and Namur and Liege and Pernambuco realised previous quotations. The Colonial undertakings were almost neglected.

BARONIES IN .ABETANCE.—The House of Lords recently ordered a return to be made to it of the baronies to be called out of abeyance up to the present time. The list includes 23 such barowes that fell into abeyance between the year 1461 (Edward IV.) and 1833 (William IV.) They were called out of ab. yance between 1604 (James I.) and 18,55 (Victoria). The Hastings barony, revived in 1841, had been in abeyance 300 years; tne Beaumnnt, called out in 1840, 332 years; the Brays, called out in 1839,282 years ; the Criuoys, erl t.d out in 1839, 413 years ; the Botetourt, 338 a ears ; the barony of Roos, or De Ryos, 119 years; Zeucha, 191 years ; Despencer, 143 years ; and Mowbray, 101 years. The following is a complete list :—De apnea. Mowbray, Windsor, Ferrara of Charaley, Clin ton, Clifford, Despercer, Botetourt, Clifferd, Wil leuehby de Eresby, Howard de Walden, Roos (de Ros), Zouche, Berners, Clifford, Vaux, Berners, Camoys, tiraye, Beaumont, Hastings, and Windsor. The Ogle fallowing peerages are appended to the return, althorkit, from the circumstances stated in relation to them, it is uncertain whether they can be re garded as within the terms of the order :-1. Crom well, 1461.—Maud, daughter, and after sole heir pi Relph, second baron, had issue two daughters, Maud and Juan; the latter married Humphrey Bouchier, who was summoned in 1461 as Humphrey Bouchier de Cromwell. He had no issue by his wife Joan, and was not a cc-heir himself, nor had he acquired that interest in his wife's inheritance which would have entitled him to ET/joy the dignity in her right, and it is scarcely possible to con sider that this summons terminated the abeyance. Fur nival, 1406. — William de Furnival, fourth baron, had is.ere a daughter Jett% upon whom the barony eesceeded. She married Thomas Nevill, who w sanneened in 1383 jure uxoris. He left two daughte , s, Maud en 1 Joan, his co-heirs. Mau d married John Mau r sutemo Jean in i n 1409. If Joan w ere his daughter by his v.:Pe e iihraival, this terminated the alley ar:ee ; tin it is ti Wit ful whether Joan was not his de! g - te n r lat n his scums wife, Angaret ; if so , the barony wasnot iah esenee. Maud is said to have been hir to her teethe! . *lowa haleton tie Powys, or Pe wys, 1422.—Jetin de Cherie en, Lord of Powis, was summoned to Parlir men t 1313 fafter, . Le died 1353, and was succeeded b y his son John. „ ma norial as and also the son, down to 1360, w-r. " Johanni de Cherteton." In 1362 John, llie s mo oed as " Johanni de Cherlet on de Pow3s,"on, and this su O- was m dition of " de Powys" net used by the Cherletous until two the death of Edward, s. p. 1422. Edward left daughters, between whom the barony fell Into abeyance. The lordship of Powis became the propel ty of Joan, the eldest, who married Sir John Grey, Knight. The grandson of Joan is said to have sat in Parlia ment in 1455, Rot. Parl. p. 282 a ; but no sum mena far K sitting is to be found. John, the great.-grandson of Joan, was summoned to Parliament in 1482 as " Johanni de Grey de Powis." It is doubtful, how ever, whether this can be considered a termination of the abeyance of the barony of Cherleton, or a new creation in the family of Grey. Joyce, the youngest daughter of Ed ward, married Sir John Tiptaft, who summoned to parliament 1426, as " Jotannis Tiptaft ChPr." He was never summoned by any other designa ion. But Dugdale considers that he was summoned in his wife's barony, pro bably because his son, on being created Earl of Worcester, is called Lord Tiptoft and Powys. These particulars may be interesting to those immediately concerned, and to the student of the mysteries of heraldry. TRE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 1/, 1858, e MTh' CU 77.118 DA OLD COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) THE CASE OF BORROMEO. This morning, Iforrennee, the Irish-Italian, who was yerf terday convicted of Wgamy, under very aggravated circum stances, and senterced to four years' penal servitude, was, by direction of the Common Sergeant, placed in the dock. He appeared to have lost all the assurance he exhibited yes terday, and wore the convict's uniform. The learned gen tleman told him that yesterday, he having been found guilty of a very grave offence, he had passed upon him a lenient sentence, when compared with the lamenta‘rle consequences that he had occasioned. The sentence he had then passed was kin years' penal servitude., and it was not his intention now to niter it; but as he had prcvlotody been convicted at the Middlesex Sessions and sentenced I 1 . 2 'now hs' imprison men t for obtaining money from various newspaper proprietors under false pretences, he had thought proper to inform him that the imprisonment to which he was , entenced yesterday would commence at the expiratr:m of the term he had to undergo for the latter offence. The convict immediately turned and left the dock in a very indignant manner. EMBEZZLEMENT.—A genleel-looking youth, named Harris, pleaded guilty to emb zzling the slim of X 5 10s. 3d., the property of Messrs. F. W. Chaplin and Co. The learned Judge said, as the prosecutor had• recNn mended him to mercy, and as it was his first offence, he should only sentence him to four months' imprisonment. STREET ROBBERY.—Ann iVilliams and Sophia Groom were convicted of stealing a piece of printed calico from the shop door of a linendraper named Whiffler. Williams was sentenced to six and Groom to four months' imprisonment with hard labour. DONALD IVICOLL, E,sQ., M.P. 1 , ;;,652N! Susiners Deno. RURAL FETE. Thri borough of Frame, Somerse'shire, welcomed its re presentative in Parliamed, on Monday, with something like a revival of old English hw,pitalily and pastime. To congratulate Mr. Nicoll at the conclusion of his Par liamentary labours, advantage was taken of the annual gathering of the Foresters, who assisted in a procession of several thousand persons, which escorted the honourable member from the railway station throug h the principal streets. Within the borough a spacious marquee had been erected for the entertainment cf the numerous gathering, r whom an ox had been roasted whole. After several rustic games and amusements had been participated in by young and old, the vast assemblage dispersed, evidently .pleased with the day's enjoyment. Mere speechmaking was studious:y avoided, and even the honourable member was not tempted, like some of his com peers, to record his impressions ari.ing front the recent visit to Cherbourg, but frankly stated that he came to enjoy a holiday with his constituents, for whom he intended to te serve political speeches, and an a.yomit of his stewardship, • for some other and more suitable oce,.sion. The honourable gentleman wee enthusiastically chest ed during his progress through the town. Za! I !Ta r, P. •y. Clot g Price !. es v, kottitiliff.:fratrsl,naw ''4ot. P.

The concessio made by the agents despatched to Utah by Preside Buchanan have secured the comfort, and probab the lives of the troops, but all the questions CT mooted remain still to be disposed of. The discip' of Brigham Young are no less fanatical than befL in their belief, and an attempt by Judge Eckels enforce the old Mexican laws (still binding, it is sa on Utah) against polygamy, would undoubtedly met with resistance.

The exc;tement prevailing in California and in British Oregon Oil the subject of the Fraser's River gold deposits has not yet affected, in a perceptible degree, our markets in the Eastern States. The in decision with respect to the productiveness of the placers, coupled with the fact that the wants of the emigrated population can be amply supplied for the present from the stores accumulated at San Francisco, has prevented any speculative shipments to the gold region ; and no such mania has seized our population here as appears to possess the Californian diggers, or as actuated them on the discovery of the Cali fornian gold. The accounts received, indeed, are till contradictory ; but there can be no aouht that large quantities of gold exist, although the diffi culties in the way of obtaining it are enormous. Two vessels are advertised to sail from New York for Bellingham Bay, and the steamer Hermann, formerly of the Bremen and Southampton line, is to be sent round Cape Horn, in order to perform the service between Nicaragua, California, and the gold-pro ducing district. Should the news hold good, and gold continue to be found or be discovered in more accessible localities than on the bar of a river subject to perpetual overflow, we may look for a great exodus hence in the spring of 1859. The foreign trade at this port has been more active in its importations than at any other period in the last nine months. The total entries of foreign mer chandise were $4,916,434, against $6,245,843 in the corresponding week of 1857. We exported $1,061,016, or within $600,000 of the sum last year. Neverthe less, a heaviness and sleepiness continue to weigh upon trade. Such an exhibit as that of last week is but sporadic, and many of our merchants assume a gloomy aspect as they discuss the prospects of the fall trade. This will have fully begun by next week, and already many southern and western buyers are in town. I learn by inquiry in the silk and fancy goods trade that some considerable business is done in that department, and that a satisfactory, if not average, demand has commenced. Clothiers in form me that their importations are comparatively slight. The banks continue their complaints of plethora, and specie still Fours in upon them, while thinks he can "locate" them to his own advanta, I consider it most probable, however, that th, exodus will be into Sonora, and they will be enco raged in this plan by the representatives of t' United States' Government. Gen. Johnston erecting a fort to the southwards of Salt Lake City Much comment has been excited by the appoin ment of the editor of the San Francisco Herald the post of United States diplomatic agent in t new Fraser's River gold diggings. Mr. Nugen character is none of the brightest, it appears ; but was necessary to send him somewhere, as his servic at the last election were great. lam informed b) Californian, intimately acquainted with Mr. Nugel that he is very unpopular among the miners and t population generally. yile../Velv York Times says this militia-diplomat, as Mr. Dallas would call him : "If it had been Presidpnt Buchanates design to create . imbroglio at the New Caledonia gold diggings, his choice Nugent, the late editor of tbe'San Francisco Heral 'might be pronounced not only unexceptionable, but si gularly judicious. A man better calculated to stir up bro could not be found, or one who would command, in a nu sure more diminutive, the respect of the Californian mine, But if, as we are bound to suppose, the appointment made for pacific purposes, and by means of judick advice to exercise a good influence over the rough spirits the mines, so as to prevent the difficulties which may ' likely to arise between our citizens and the British employ of the Hudson's Bay Company, then we can conceive nothing more intensely absurd than the selection of ti restless, quarrelsome, office-seeking Irishman. . • • The case appears to be that Nugent came from Califon. to Washington, determined to have an office of some sor and one has been made fur him. He is at least compete to take the salary, and no other qualification has been quired by the Administration." It is to be hoped, however, that Mr. Nugent w' have no opportunity to exercise his mischief-makit talent. He is probably sent only by way of Gover. ment reporter ; and if endued with higher power the excellent instructions issued by the Coloni Department, and the good sense of the British officia' will doubtless obviate all difficulty. It is natural that the Pacific Railroad questic should be actively debated at present, now that ti construction of the line through British territory h: become almost 11 positive certainty. Your Canadiz correspondent will doubtless inform you of ti earnest manner in which the subject has been talc( up in that country, and it needs but a little judicioc fostering from the British Government to contint the magnificent highway of the Grand Trunk Rai! way from Lake Superior to the Rocky Mountai and the Pacific. This prospect has again broug• into notice the plan proposed by Governor Steven but rejected by the late and present Governments, c account of its practicability, to form a road throng Minnesota and Oregon to the Californian coast, at a stormy series of discussions will doubtlt ensue upon this question when the debate, pos. poned by Congress until December 7, is brougi up. This route will be violently opposed tke Government and the South as it cannot I made instrumental in bringing more slave State into the Union. It will be, as it has always beet supported by the Northern representatives. If n( decided before 1860, this question will, undoubtedly, supply one of the great issues of the presidentib campaign. The Kansas election took place on Monday, 2 inst., but we are as yet without intelligence. The annual match between the cricketplayers Canada and the United States was commenced at Hoboken, opposite New York, on Monday. Four of the eleven Canadians are native, and the remainder Englishmen viz., Messrs. Fourdrenie, Pearless, Head, Hardinge, and Sleath. A protest has been made, in the name of some Canadian clubs, against the selection of champions for Canada. Large dele gations of cricketers from different parts of the Union were on the ground, but the weather, which was exceedingly unpleasant, interfered with the game. It was continued, however, with interruptions through Monday and Tuesday, but the pouring rain of to-day will doubtless put a stop to it.

Decrease A new bank has been started in Boston, with a capital of $500,000, most of which was paid in on the 2d inst. It will go into operation on the 15th. We have later, but not quite trustworthy, news from Mexico. The agents of private and national filibusterism are constantly imposing false intelli-: gence upon the country, and we therefore look with more or less doubt upon every published statement. It appears indubitable, however, that the unfortunate puppet-president, Zuloaga, is rapidly passing off the stage of government, to add his name to the ever lengthening list of Mexican administrative failures. A very explicit statement, indeed, proceeding from - . Matamoros, Texas, asserts positively that— " Zuloaga, the reactionary President, has abdicated, and has kft the city of Mexico with an escort of 300 men, leav ing the Government in charge of D. Bernardo Cauto and two bishops. All through the interior, wherever the Con- stitutionalists show their faces, the despotic party are seized with a sudden leaving." Juarez, meanwhile, with his two backers, Vidaurri and Garza, is at the gates of the capital. It will not be matter of surprise if the next steamer brings in- :elligence of his pacific entrance. I can scarcely ;hink, however, that Juarez will be permitted to as- , . sume the presidency which he claims. Everything points to Vidaurri as the successor of Zuloaga, and I am convinced that neither he nor Garza will sub- mit to the rule, however nominal, of a man who has shown neither courage, honesty, nor ability, in the events of the last six months. It is possible that, • - on the flight of Zuloaga, some such Consejo de Notables (Council of Notables) may be assembled as that which was convened last January on the fall of Comonfort, and the pre sidency be adjudged to the worthiest or the highest bidding leader. I fancy that the Government at Washington will look with some displeasure at the downfall of Zuloaga, as it will block the game, so long in preparation, of demanding redress for the various offences he has committed. Mr. Whitehead, the efficient agent of British creditors now in the country, will doubtless use all his exertions with the new regime to obtain some step towards the payment of the Mexican bonds. The report that Spain is preparing another expedition against Mexico is scarcely credited here ; nevertheless it gives rise to much comment on the possibilities it would involve of a seizure of Cuba under the Mexican flag. A good commander, however, could with ease secure the island against any attack not conducted by regular Govermental forces. The affairs of Hayti continue to attract some at tention. That mischievous scoundrel, Santana, is once more installed in the presidency of the Domini can republic, and a close watch must be kept upon his proceedings. I do not doubt that the British and French agents will exert themselves, as before, to prevent the reckless cession of the Bay of Samana (to be used as a coal depot!) to the United States; but at the same time care ought to be taken that the interests of Great Britain are not to be invaded by the representatives of her ally. The important position of Hayti, as regards the West Indies, renders it of the utmost importance that it should not fall into the hands of a Power that may one day be ac tively hostile. On the other side of the island the Emperor Faustin has driven the American quasz guano-diggers from the island of Navassa, and has put it in possession of the parties in Jamaica to whom he had conceded the right of removing the deposit. The vessels decided on for the expedition mains Paraguay are the steamers Waterwitch, 800 tons, 2 guns ; Fulton, 5 guns ; and Harriet Lane, revenue cutter, 2 guns ; with the three old sailing brigs 13ainbridge, Perry, and Dolphin, mounting respec tively 6,6, and 4 guns. In case any hostile measures are taken, which is very improbable, President Lopez can oppose a serviceable fleet of Thames-built screw steamers, adapted to river navigation, to this rickety squadron. He has a well-disciplined force of some 12,000 men, and there are several French engineers and military men in his employ. No bloodshed will, however, take place. Indeed the expedition is too ridiculously inadequate to allow the expectation of such an event. The - vessels are sent merely as an excuse for the despatch of the commissioner who accompanies them, and whose duty it is to bully as much apology from Lopez as possible for having been insulted and cheated by au individual who happened to be entitled United States Consul. The New Grenada difficulty is still pending. The Legislature steadily refuses to ratify the treaty by which Gen. Ilerran virtually gave up the isthmus to American control, and granted a large indem nity to the parties who suffered by the massacre of April, 1856. They have, however, it would seem, agreed to pay the damages, but have struck out the clause by which the cession of an island in the Bay of Panama was secured. I think it likely that the treaty as amended thus may be ac cepted by the United States Government, although the possession of the island opposite Panama was the only inducement that led to its proposal in the first place. A question has arisen whether the United States or the British Government have the right to transport troops over the territory of a friendly Power, as in the case of the transit route of Panama, without first obtaining permission from the Govern ment. A detachment of troops was recently sent across the Isthmus to California, and whatever force the British Government may contemplate sending to New Caledonia (if any) will doubtless pass the same way. The railway has so completely altered the circumstances of the right of passage, that the point THE BIRMINGHAM MUSICAL FESTIVAL.—The pro gramme of this great musical celebration has been pub lished within the last few days, and is well calculated to sustain the character which has been justly ac corded to the Birminghatn festivals fur more than half a century. In the composition both of the choral and instrumental body there are all Cm elements of completeness, whilst the scheme itself is even more than usually attractive. In the choral burly there are upwards of three hundred performers, the en ire orchestra comprising nearly five hundred. The first morn ing of the festival (Tuesday, August 31) is devoted to the performance of Mendelssohn's orator io, " Elijah," composed expressly fur the 13irrningharn Festival, and performed for the first time under his direction in 1816. On the Wednes day morning, Mr. Costa's oratorio, " lai ;" on Thursday the " Messiah ;" and on Friday, the concluding morning of the festival, Mr. 11.

NE TV ZEALAND. The following stfrnmary of the state of affairs in the Can !erbury province is from the Lyttleton Times, April 14 : " Tt,e rate of progress at which the province of Canter bury is advancing is marked, not by the succession of little steps such as would come under the head of 'events of the year,' but by certain comparisons which are occasionally presented between the existing state of things and that which may have preceded it within a definite space of time. " It will be seen from our notes on commercial matters that the exports of the current year may be estimated as worth at least two-thirds mc7e than those of last year, owing partly to the improved value of our export, wool. Work of all sorts has increased, buildings, public and pri vate, ate springing op in all directions, creating remune rative work for a large number of sawyers, carpenters, masons, and other tradesmen in the place, and a rapidly increasing import of timber from other ports. Agri culture has suffered under obstructions cf many sorts — low prices, damp harvest weather, and, above all, scarcity of labour—nevertheless the cultivation of land is vigorously extending, and the crops this year will show a considerable advance on the former. The Government has sold an im mense quantity of land, and the demand still continues. The roads of the province are in capital order ' and are spreading in every direction. The funds which the Go vernment has at its disposal are so ample for the public works to be done that the construction and repair of roads is limited only by the supply of labour. Among build ings are to be noticed the enlargement and great improve ment of the gaol of the province in Lyttleton, the com mencement of the Government offices in Christchurch on a handsome and capacious plan, the enlargement of the Land-office, and local offices of a satisfac tory kind both in Kniapoi and Akaroa. There are also the college in Christchurch, a large and handsome build ing ; a pretty church at Ricarton, consecrated on Easter Tuesday last, warehouses and private houses in all parts of the province. In Lyttelton an extended jetty is about to he commenced by the Government, and the parish church is about to be rebuilt. Along with these undertakings and improvements a multitude of smaller operations are going forward, which, in the aggregate, cause a remarkable im provement in the appearance of the country. "It seemed probable at the commencement of last sum mer that discoveries would be made of available country on the west coast of this island, which would add to the terri tory of the province; but the explorations which have since been made have not brought to light any but limited patches of useful country. There seems to be still room, however, for valuable discoveries to the west and south ; and,'doubtless, in a very short time we shall be in possession of all the information which can possibly be gathered on the subjec.. " In the advancement which is to be noted in the pro perry and enterprise of Canterbury , it is to be remarked that the increase of population is comparatively very slow. There are scarcely any obstacles to whatever enterprise may be contemplated among us so bard to be overcome as the want of labour. During the harvest which has just past awn have been paid upwards of £3 an acre for reaping. Eighteen pence per bushel is now being paid in places for thrashing, though not universally, and this when wheat is not higher than ss. per bushel. Machines have been intro duced, but they are not plentiful. There could be no greater boon to the province than the introduction of a good round number of agricultural labourers and ordinary craftsmen. It is a fact not to be disguised that under ordinary s y s tems of emigration the restless or helpless individuals among a town population, being most easily moved, are the most commonly sent out as emigrants. We shall soon be on the look-out for the early supplies from Mr. FitzAeralci's agency, to whose hands a sum of £20,000 bas been entrusted for immigration. In the meantime we have had occasional droppings in. The Westminster and the Roehampton have arrived during the past quarter, and have added somewhere about 200 souls to our population. The thanks of the province for oppor tune supplies at a tim of want are due to those gentlemen in England who specially look after the interests of Canterbury , an d to Messrs. Willis, the shipping agents, who have made this settlement the ob ject of t heir disinterested liberality. " During the past three or four months there has been but little stir in our local politics. The new regime which was instituted at the close of 1857 has made but little altera tion in the system which has been pursued in all public matters among us. The Council sat for a short session, ending on the •24th of February, at which the votes were taken fur six months only, from April 1, so that another session will naturally fall in September. There was no formation of parties, nor did any circumstance give rise to long discussion either in the House or among the public. The ordinances of the session related principally to matters of course, and to the necessities of the time. There seems, also, we are glad:to say, little likelihood of any political excitement for the future. The General Assembly is now in session, and all the members from this province who re tained their seats took their departure for Auckland in good time for the commencement of business. It is impro bable that even the ordinary election excitement will accompany the replenishing of the seats now vacant (Lyttle ton and Akaroa), though it would be highly imprFper to say that there would he any apathy on the part of the public. Every one seems awake to the necessity of Peeping alive the interests of the South in the Assembly, and therefore of swelling the votes on the side of the South; but the difficulty and expense of a journey to Auckland so far repress the ardour of candidates that a conte.t for either seat can not be looked for. It is just now reported that Mr. Sewell has returned from England, and the seat for Lyttleton will, no doubt be left open for him by the constituency. "One beneficial application of public money by the Council, in its late session, was the setting apart a sum for the enlargement of the local post service. The extension from Keiapoi to Rangiora twice a-week, fretu Christchurch to Timaru fortnightly, and over Banks' Peninsula once a-week, is now being commenced, so that each of those places is now brought nearer town for business purposes. The local steamer has undertaken the contract to carry the Peninsular mails once a week, and made her first trip on Monday last. The penny rate of postage is adopted through out for letters and newspapers, except in the case of the Timaru mail, where the postage rates for letters are doubled. " We look forward to the next few months for interesting news from the north of the operations of the Assembly. The same period is likely to be a dull one, politically, for this as well as other provinces. " The weather has not yet righted itself, but continues to be far more like wine; than the pleasant autumn that we are accustomed to. We have had a few fine days during the week, but the wind clings to the south, and seems ready at any moment to freshen into a gale with renewed vigour and an unlimited supply of rain. This state of things has a bad effect upon general business. The vessel which should have arrived from Auckland by this time with the writs is being detained, and doubtless the February mail is only waiting a slant to drop in from Wellington. The absence of all ship ' ping intelligence from our columns for a single issue is sufficiently remarkable, but we are now publishing the third successive number in which there is no arrival or departure to record. This circumstance is altogether unprecedented, and is to be referred solely to the state of the weather." THIS DAPS SHIPPING. LONDON, Aug. I7.—Wind this day at noon, S.W.; ligkt airs, and very fine.

MARLBOROUGH STREET.,-- OtaRAGEOUS As- SAULT AT A HARMONIC MEETlNG.—Williani Nolan and James Burke were charged with committing a violent assault on George Lewis, an upholsterer residing in Angel court, Soho. The prosecutor said that on the previous night he went with his wife to the King of Prussia, in John-street, and after being there a soft time, a proposition was made to con tribute 6d. each to a poor female, for whose benefit it ap peared the meeting was got up. A quarrel then took place in the room, he being the only Engiishinau present ; when Burke seized a bagatelle cue and struck him a violent blow on the head, breaking the cue. He was then knocked down, and was kicked, and Nolan said, " Kill the --, kill the --." A woman also beat him on the head with a pint pot. Mr. William Turner, of the King of Prussia, John-street, said, having been applied to to grant the use of his room for the benefit of a poor female, he consented, the parties pro mising to behave themselves properly. After they had been there a short time the prisoner commenced assault ing an old man, and afterwards a general quarrel ensued ; three or four cues were broken, and he felt satisfied that bad not the police timely arrived that murder would have bcen committed. Previous to the arrival of the officers he struggled with them till he wrs quite exhausted. Frsm the way in which the pritoreis conducted themselves he had no doubt they came for the purpose of creating a disturbance, and they hen left his place like a slaughter-house. A female named White, sister-in-law to the first witness, corroborated his testimony, and said that Burke tore the bonnet off her head, and then all the men and women com menced fighting, the women as well as the men using the cues. Other evidence having been given, Nolan said the assault commenced by the prosecutor. Mr. Beadou said it was one of those rows in which the prisoners thought they had a right to use whatever came in their way. It was a very brutal assault. The prisoners were fined ,E 5 each, or two m onths. THAMES.— MURDEROUS ASSAULT.— A FURY. Mary Smith, a dissipated looking wotnan, who gave her address, No. 16, Back Church-lane, which is a fictitious one, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with feloniously cutting and wounding Mary M'Carthy, with intent to mur der or do grievous bodily harm. She was al so c h arg ed with assaulting Mal garet Drisc oll. It a ppe a red from the evidence of police-serg cant Egerton, No. 24 K, that a woman n amed NI `Cartby bad been committed to prison for 7 days for as caulling and biting a woman on the breast. The affray took place at an Irish wedding of an honest and industrious couple. M'Carthy, a passionate . ill-conditioned woman took offence at the marriage, made a disturbance and assaulted the bride. Yesterday, M'Carthy came out of prison, and immediately proceeded to the dwelling of the people she had formerly affronted a nd made a disturbance. In the evening she repaired. to the Broom Bear public-h , use, and there fas tened a quarrel upo n the prisoner, who was formerly a pr4stitute, and has h:en for some time married to a gun y, took up a heavy glass A t i r ' - C :e t n th dous blow on the top of her gun smith. Some offensive language %yrs exchanged between the two women, until the prisoner, exasperated at something e her skull,. and then followed it the arm, inflicting another and some of the leaders. The woman t w hsu u epe i r u l ai i i do e b b:l w e s rlialt:nah.looniutdbti:jesedeltranr,yubdicsliik:ov:wi dtl:ibenobragnya lost a large quantity of blood, and . after being visited by Mr. Comley, divisional surge on of. police, was sent to the London Hospital, where she at present remains. A certi fic..te from Mr. R. Codrington, house surgeon of the Lon don Hospital, was put in, and it stated that the patient, Mary M'Carthy, was being treated for a lacerated scalp and arm, and that she could not leave the hospital at present. Margaret Driscoll gave evidence of the savage conduct of the prisoner, and said she was also assaulted by her. Mr. Selfe si.ld that he must necessarily remand the pri soner until the person she had wounded was able to appear against her. He remitted the prisoner to the House of Detention for a week. SOUTH KENSINGTON _MUSEUM.—During the week ending 14th August the =visitors have been as fol!ow : On Monday, Tuesday, and Saturday, free days, 2,590; on Monday and Tuesday, free evenings, 4,028 ; on the three students' days (admission to the public 61.), 583; one students' evening, Wednesday, 88 ; total, 7,289. GALLANT CONDUCT.—A Bristol contemporary says :—On Thur.day, the 29th ult., a middle-aged woman named Sarah Powell, who had for some time been an inmate of a union, attempted to destroy herself by jumping into the river Wye. One of the boys from Colston School, Bristol, fortunately happened to be near the spot at the time, and, although no swimmer, courageously leaped into the river, and succeeded in rescuing the woman from a watery grave. When the gallant little fellow, whe is about 14 years of age, brought his burden to the bank he was well nigh exhausted, but was immediately relieved by the bystanders. The wo man was at once conveyed to the workhouse, where the usual means were adopted for her restoration. It appears the poor woman is afflicted with insanity, and she has since been removed to the Abergavenny Lunatic Asylum. Mat. B. OSBORNE AT DOVER.—The Saturday Re view, in the course of au excellent article upon the speech of Mr. 0 borne at Dover, speaks in the following trite terms of the " horroi" felt by that gentleman at the success of the tneesures of the present Admiuistration :—" Mr. Osborne is very much shocked at the imrnotality and inconsistency of the present Administration. He is horrified that they have not given eff7ct in office to the principles which they pro fessed in Opposition. He is very anxious to know what is the meaning of that word in four syllables—Conservative.' For so young a beginner, Mr. Osborne is in too great a hurry. He should not p..ss to words of four syllables till he hrs mastered these of three. The member for Dover has been some five yews in office, and we should like to hear his definition of the word Liberal,' with illustrations derived from his official experience. He complains of the condition of the Liberal party, and the loss of confidence in Liberal men ; and lAke he takes upon him to lecture the Conservative party let him inquire into the cause of that decomposition' in his own which he pretends to deplore. While he accuses the Derbyites of pursuing a policy not consistent with their professions, he might do well to recollect that he has for many years been a contented and submissive member of a Government which professed a policy which it did not pur sue. It is easy enough to fabricate enigmas about chang without progress, and concession without grace;' but we should like to know whose fault it is that progress' is to be looked for only from those who are its avowed opponents, and that the Lib era l party has ceased to expect any grace' except from the Conservative leaders? but because the men who usurped the conduct of the Liberal cause have given their followers delusion instead of progress, and inso lence ihstead of grace? Yet it was to this Government that that the fervent reformer, Mr. Osborne, lent the effective support of his silence." TERRIFIC THUNDERSTORM. — On Thursday after noon the neighbourhood of Bedford was visited by the most fearful electric storm we have visited for many years. Singu larly enough, twelve months ago to the very day a similar and scarcely less terrible tempest occurred in the district. On that occasion extensive injury was inflicted by hailstones of a piodigious size ; but in the present instance, though the rain was very heavy for a time, there was no hail, but the lightning was appalling, and the instantaneous peals of thun der resembled a mighty cannonade. We are sorry to report that serious damage has befallen the locality, of which we d subjoin a few particulars :—The first injury that fell under our observation was the filing of a cattle-shed belonging to Mr. John Wald, of the Fountain Inn, and situated in a field opposite the railway station. The dele gates of parochial authority in St. Mary's very speedily availed themselves of this opportunity of showing their zeal in connexion with the fire-engine. Many iboys and some men dragged the e ng i n e to the spot, after filling it as well as they could with the collection o la f i?d g le i itter streams on the road side, wheeled it into the field just in time to see the fire coinplce its work. Some ser vice, however, it undoubtedly rend e r e d, by a ddi ng t o th e coo ling showers which damped and so preserved a neigh bouring haystack and At half-past 3 a special mes senger brought twngs that there was a rick on fire on the farm of Mr. Grant, of Clapham. Post horses from the Swan were soon attached to the County and St. Peter's engines, and they were off to the spot near Clapham Folly. On the arrival of the Bedford fire-brigades, however, instead of being welcomed, we understand that they were told by Mr. Grant, jun., that he could do without them ; his men could pot the fire out. To this, however, it ap pears, Mr. George Small very p ro p er ly re f use d to ac cede, and insisted upon his tnen working St. Peter's engine. There being a good supply of water, the fire was prevented spreading, and only one rick was destroyed, alt h oug h there were several in close proximity. Mr. Mas ten' house, in Olia-street, which i s somew h a t in the Tudor s tyle, and has rather high chimney shafts, was struck by the lightniny, but no personal injury was sustained. The electric fluid, on entering the front parlour, severed the brea-tpiece of the marble mantel, cutting through the metal gas pipe , a nd, lighting the gas in a most expeditious manlier, made its exit out of the door, whi c h was f ortunate ly o p en . A youth at the time was passing out of the yard of the Flowerpot publichouse, adjoining the west-end of Mr. Mas ters' house; he was wheeling a truck, and the bricks from the chimney fell so near as to break the truck-handle, but the boy p r ovidentially escaped unhurt. Mr. and Mrs. Masters were absent f r om home. About 3.15 p.m. t h e c hi mney on th e sou th side of the Swan Hotel was st ruc k ,remov i ng t o large stones , meas u ring 3 feet, one of which lodged on the roof, the other falling into the garden without causing the least injury to a large vase and bed of flowers, as it alighted com pletely upon the path, near the river. The electric fluid w as, no doubt, attracted by the i ron cram p s l e t into the mou lded termination of the stonework, one of the cramps b e ing snapped asunder and the other pulled out. As Thos. Russell, horsekeeper to Mrs. Hollis, of Wooton, was em ployed in the hervest field he and three other men became erectly alarmed, and as they were running to a hovel in the field for shelter Russell was struck dead by the lightning. None of the others received any injury beyond a slight shock. The lightning appears to have struck Russell on the brad, as it cut a hole in his hat about four inches in dia meter; but there were no marks of injury on the body. He was between 40 and 50 years of age, and has left a wife and three children. Several cases of partial blindness have been forwarded to us, but the parties soon recovered. There was for a time some indication of a return of the tempest, but we have since been favoured with unclouded sky. hare i 81.1 21 2 I Sti '''" I 1 2' 71 Is 15 0 92 E 6 661 26f 17f .92 02 10 10i It2i SO 82 ISt 12S 104 106 50 501 56 68 87 20 12 13 v.. 12 13 92.1 93 1t 01 dig t dia 6 61 LO9 110 9tt 93 it 1 die s 4, 35 55/ 96 96i E 6 -68, - C 3 65 31 Bdl4 Z4t :5 941 c4l It I_.' 46? 471 741 741 s 9 10/ 51 5} dill 8 9 S 9 t 7 28 i 8 8 dil 110 111 iS tri 44 46 3 2 di 351 71 72 81 82 14 15 6 4 di. 9 11 35 86 3 3, 6k 6k 0.
