INGENIOUS DETECTION OF A THlEF.—James Kingett, described as a frame maker, was charged before Mr. Beadon, as follows : Mr. Lambert Doublet, a French wine merchant, at 7, Great Newport-street (who gave his evidence through Mr. Albert), said thate rented the lower part of the premises, and the prisoner lodged in the same house. In consequence of having for some weeks past lost a quantity of wine and brandies, he on the previous evening, about six o'clock, locked his clerk in the second cellar, which commanded a view of the first, so as if possible to detect the thief. He then went out with his wife, so as to make it appear that he had left the premises, and on returning about six minutes afterwards he found his clerk calling for help, and on going down to the first cellar found his clerk holding the prisoner. Eugene Nantre, the clerk, said be had only been locked up for six minutes when he heard the door of the first cellar unlocked, and in walked the prisoner. The prisoner then took up a bottle of brandy, and afterwards went and rum maged in a box full of apparel. He then rushed from his hiding place and seised the prisoner, and called " Police," and his master came. In answer to ➢Tr. Beadon, the witness said 40 or 50 bottles of wine and 10 of brandy had been missed in a few weeks, and that the prisoner asked for mercy, and offered him his watch. Peacock, 99 C, said he found a key on the prisoner which opened the cellar door of the prosecutor, and the prisoner said he would rather pay anything than be locked up. Committed for trial.

THE FRENCH COMMERCIAL TREATY. The members of they Council-General of the, Herault, a few days ago, gave a banquetto the Pre fect ; and M. Michel Chevalier, senator, who pre sided, spoke as follows in proposing the health of the Emperor : " Matter for praise is abundant, and every year it is largely increased. One year it is a populous and enlightened nation which is freed from an aggression that had lasted for centuries; it is the glorious land which the laurels of the Scipios and Cincinnati, of Virgil and Dante, of Raphael and Michael Angelo, still adorn ; that year places the trophies of Magenta and Solferino by the side of those of Rivoli, Marengo, and M ar i gnan . I n another year, the present one, it is a vict or y o f another kind which has been won; a victory not less brilliant than those of the greatest captains, but which does not cause the tears of mothers to flow ; which, on the contrary, makes nations re joice, and satisfies alike the philosopher hi his study, the peasant in his cottage, and the workman in his garret; this new triumph, which is the biography of the Emperor, will so nobly mark the year of 1860, you have already named, for it is particularly dear to our hearts—it is the commeavial reform by which the Emperor, so to speak s setting along in movement the vessel which was stationed among the reefs of prohibition, has sent it in full sail i n t o the waters of free trade. Re did that when the partisans of the prohibitive system flattered them selves on having founded their domination on a rock, and when a vulgar observer might have sup posed that their power was indestructible ; he did it when, in all parts of France, the defenders of commercial liberty had abandoned themselves to discouragement, for which, however, you, my dear colleague, by an exception which will be for the 'department an immense honour, were able to pre serve yourselves. The consequences of this com mercial reform are incalculable. It belongs to the highest ideas and vastest designs ; it forms part of a programme which, on the one hand, improves the high policy of popular amelioration, and on the other, the object of which civili s ati on w ill h ave much to congratulate itself—the drawing of waters together, and the consolidation of the peace of the world. That programme, gentlemen, be assured, will succeed." THAMES. MURDEROUS ASSAULT IN A SUGAR HOUSE.—John Mullenstedt, aged 24, was brought before Mr. Selfe, on a charge of assaulting and wounding Frederick Benns. The parties are Germans, and employed at the great sugar house of Mr. Davis, in Leman-street, Whitechapel. The prosecutor, who was in a weakly condition, was ac commodated with a seat. The top of his head was covered with a surgical plaister, he has lost a largo quantity of blood, and has been most dangerously wounded. It ap peared from his evidence that yesterday, at noon, he was in the mess-room of the sugar-house, when the prisoner began talking to him, and, addressing him by his nickname of "master," said he had been keeping company with a loose girl in Whitechapel. He did not like to hear that because he was a married man, and never kept bad com pany. He was very cross and vexed at what he heard, and quarrelled with the prisoner, who punched him and then stabbed him on the head. H was struck on the top of the head several times, but he could not say what with. He was on the ground when he was stabbed, and fell down the steps while the prisoner went up the steps. A doctor dressed his wounds. William Walker, an English boy, confirmed the state ment of Berms. Mr. John Comley, surgeon, of 71, High-street, White chapel, said he saw a clean cut on the top of the prosecutor's skull. He had no doubt it was inflicted with a sharp instru ment. The wound was two inches and a half in length. It was very dangerous. The prisoner, in defence, said Benns called him foul names, and began fighting with him, and fell down stairs and hurt his head, Mr. Comley said the wound could not have been in• flicted in the way stated by the prisoner —it was a very clean cut right on the top of the head. The prosecutor was recalled, and said he did threaten the prisoner, and called him bad names, but he was not wounded by falling down stairs. Mr. Selfe said, upon the evidence that had been given, he sh uld only have one course to pursue, when the pri soner was again brought befoee him. Mr. Comley had posi tively sworn the wound had been inflicted with a sharp instrument, and that it was dangerous. He remanded the prisoner until Wednesday next. THIS DAY'S MARKETS.

After three bulls which did not show much spirit had been disposed of by the toreador Cuchares, a popular performer, a fourth was let loose, and he dis played great violence. He tore intc shreds the bandarillas which were presented to h im by the picadores, and then all at once leaped over a pelissade at a spot where a soldier was standing, and so injured the man that he died shortly after. A little latter, the bull jumped over the barrier among the spectators. Six thousand persons were as sembled, and with cries end screams all rushed to the issues to escape, causing ascene of greatcpnfusion. The toreador sword in hand, attempted to kill the animal; and several soldiers on duty as sentinels endeavoured to do the same with their swords bayonets ; some of the spectators, too, fired pistols at it, and in so doing wounded certain per sons. At length the toreador got in front of the bull, and with a stab skilfully applied laid him dead at his feet. The journals do not say that any persons were killed or even injured in the subsequent The Emperor, during his visit to Lyons, made a 'present to the museum of that city of a fine picture by Eugene Delacroix, representing the " Death of Marcus Aurelius." GARIBALDI IN NEW YORE. General Garibaldi arrived in North America a few months after the fall of Rome, in 1849, for the first time in his life. He had fought for the re publicans on the La Plata and its branches four teen years before the revolutions in Europe of 1846 recalled him to Italy. After spending a few weeks in the home of his countryman and friend, Signor Pasticaldi, in Irving-place, with the late admired Professor Foresti, he withdrew awhile to retired lodgings in the country for the benefit of his health, which had been greatly enfeebled by his long and severe labours, exposures, and afflictions, and partly to avoid the annoyance of numerous visitors. From that retreat he returned respectful replies to the urgent invitations he had received from foreign and native associations, to a public re ception in this city, declining the proferred honours on the score of ill-health, and of their inappropriate ness in the existing circumstances. He afterwards took up his residence at Clifton, on the east end of Staten Island, in the house of Signor Meucci, where he remained most of the time before his departure for the Isthmus and the Pacific. Such was the regard that Signor M. had for him that he kept Garibaldi's room locked when ever he was absent, saying that no other person should ever be allowed to occupy it. As Garibaldi's health and strength soon returned in a sufficient degree to permit him to take some athletic exer cise, he began to ramble about the fields and woods with his fowling-piece, in pursuit of such game as the season afforded ; and he was so good a shot that he often returned with sufficient for himself, and his friends, and neighbours, to whom he occasionally sent such presents. He was almost equally fond of fishing, and spent portions of his time in that sport, standing on the rocks, or floating logs, mi l der the steep bank of the island, where he displayed the skill, patience, and success of a good fisherman. Of bathing he was equally fond; and, as he was usually accompanied by several of his fellow-exiles and countrymen, who were fine singers, the fields and shores resounded at twilight with their patriotic songs, Salvi being the leader with his noble tenor voice, and Garibaldi performing his part in the choir. Some of the inhabitants of that part of the island still retain agreeable recollections of those fine displays of cultivated vocal art, to which they used to listen with peculiar pleasure. Sometimes, joined by a number of friends from New York, that band of foreigners engaged in games of ball on the lawns of Clifton, and these offered a spectacle of peculiar interest to a spectator sufficiently acquainted with their histories and character to appreciate it. While hearing their cheerful voices, and witnessing their activity and hilarity at their simple games, it was interesting to recall the various toils, privations, persecutions, or imprisonments which they had endured, to witness the evidence of their early education in scenes of refinement, shown by their movements and ges tures, their military bearing, acquired in the armies of freedom, and the cheerfulness with which they endured present trials, in the hope of render. ing future service to Italy. With such reflections there would come, to an American spectator, the gratifying consciousness that our country had the honour of giving to such noble-minded men a refuge from persecution and an asylum which their insatiable enemies dared not to invade.— I Vew York World, REJECTION OF AMERICAN CL_IIMS AGAINST PARAGUAY. It will probably be remembered that one object of the costly expedition lately sent to Paraguay by the Government of the United States was to enforce a claim for damages, amounting to nearly a million of dollars, made by an American company, for in juries alleged to have been inflicted by President Lopez. Hostilities being avoided, through the good offices of General Urquiza, President of the Argen tine Confederation, and the judicious management of Mr. Bowlin, the United States Commissioner, it was agreed to submit the claim to two commis sioners, one appointed by the Government of Para guay, the other by that of the United States. It appears from the report of the referees, Mr. Cave Johnson and Senor Berges, that the company, which was organised in 1852, with a view to trading in the products of Paraguay, was managed by Mr. Hopkins, the American consul at Asuncion, whose overbearing disposition was the sole cause of the failure of the enterprise. Most favour able concessions were granted by the ' Para guayan Government, and when funds ran low, through the loss of a steamer belonging to the company, 10,000 dollars were advanced by Presi dent Lopez without security; but Mr. Hopkins disregarded the laws, insulted the people, and em broiled himself with the authorities so systemati cally that the Government was obliged to withdraw his exequatur as consul. He immediately aban doned the company's property, and claimed an indemnity of 400,000 dollars, which President Lopez refused to pay. Subsequently the sum demanded was swelled to nearly 1,000,000 dollars by charging for a steamer and her cargo lost at sea, for ships and machinery which the failure of the enterprise was represented to have rendered useless, for profits which might have been made, and seven years' interest on the whole. The Com missioners, after hearing counsel on both sides, and examining witnesses, declared the claim of the company untenable. "It has always," says Mr. Johnson, in closing his report, " been the pride and the glory of the Government and citizens of the United States to submit to nothing wrong from any Government or people, but at the same time to de mand of them nothing but what is right. The day is far distant, I sincerely hope, when East India fortunes are to be accumulated, with their appro bation stud sanction, by the plunder of feeble states, extorted from them at the cannon's mouth." The decision appears to have given general satisfaction in the United States, judging from the tone of the press. "We are glad," says the .New York Herald, " that the facts of this iniquitious claim have been thoroughly sifted and exposed. Whilst the award rejecting it will be a lesson to such of our citizens as seek to make the State Department the instru ment of their dishonest speculations, its mora l effect upon the South American Governments can not fail to be beneficial to our interests. The of an American commissioner not only deciding against the pecuniary claims and e xaggerated Justice grievances of his countrymen, but doing fu ll to the conduct and motives of a rul er whom we ha d humiliated and forced to this i nqu iry, will go farth er to convince them of the fairnes s of our dis p os ition towards them than all the ass urances that can be conveyed through a diplom a tic medium."

During the last Sikh war an officer in a regiment marching upon the Sutlej received intelligence from his agent in England that a legacy of £1,500 had fallen to his lot, the information being accom panied by a business-like request to know "how he would take it." The young gentleman, after due reflection, and perhaps consultation with his com rades, replied that he would " take it in pale ale," and the full value was accordingly remitted to him in the article of his choice. The story created some amusement in the camp, and bespoke, no doubt, a certain exuberance of liberality on the part of the legatee, but the decision, after all, was less extra vagant than it may appear. Good ale, under the circumstances, was almost the first necessary of life, and the fact has since been so practically recognised that is the year 1858 the consignments of that beverage to India on account of the troops reached the value of nearly a million sterling. Beer, in short, is the natural support of British soldiers in the E ast. It keeps them in condition, not only by its prope r virtues, but by driving other liquors out of the field. If the men can get sound ale or porter they are not disposed to resort to arrack, and cense quently there is less drunkenness and more general efficiency. Hero, however, a question suggests it self of obvious pertinence and moment. Could not the beer be brewed in India ? Could not " India pale ale" be rendered a native production, and genuine British porter be manufactured by British hands even in the old kingdom of the Moguls ? Plumpuddings have been made at Jerusalem, Christmas turkeys were cooked in the Crimea, and very good beefsteaks can be had everywhere except in Japan. Admitting that a supply of beer must precede a British establishment, just as the growth of mulberry trees must precede the produce of silk, can we not naturalize the manufacture as well as the men, and set up the breweries on the spot, in stead of keeping them 15,000 miles off? That is precisely the question which has been asked more than once, and answered in such a manner that it certainly ought to be asked over again. Besides the proper ingredients of beer—all simple and procurable—the one thing needful to the success of the manufacture is temperature. Even in England itself there are two months in particular—March and October—more favourable to the process than others, and if a mild and equable temperature cannot be secured in some manner or other the brewing will probably be a failure. But this ought to be no obstacle in the way of Indian breweries. India comprises climates of ail kinds. The plains are torrid, but the hills are cool. Brew the beer at a certain level above the sea, and there is no apparent reason why it s h ou ld no t be as good as that consigned from the banks of the Thames. So one or two people have thought on the spot. A Mr. Davis made the experiment in 1841, but appears, in the opinion at any ra t e o f hi s patrons, to have been unsuccessful. Eight years later, however, Captain Ouchterlony, of the Madras Engineers, being employed on duty in the Neil gherry Hills, conceived the laudable idea of turn ing the situation to account by attempting to brew. He brewed accordingly, and produced indubitable beer. The next point to be ascertained was the aci. value and palatability of the article, and of this, of course, there was but one proof which could be considered as conclusive. Would the men drink it? Would they call for it at the canteen as they would for English porter, ar>d be as well sa tisfied with the commodity ? The proof of the brewing was in the drinking—nowhere else. The means of decision were close at hand. Two of her Majesty's regiments of foot were quartered conveniently for the consultation, and one or the European battalions in the old Company's service lay at no great distance. So the beer was sent to head-quarters, and appeal made on its merits. The medical officers of the 51st disparaged the article, declaring it heady and overcharged with alcohol. The men, not objecting perhaps to these proper ties, pronounced more favourably of the specimen, though intimating their opinion that it was a little too sweet and new. The 94th also returned an approving verdict, and deposed that they would certainly prefer the beer to English beer, price being considered. The Europeans followed in the same strain, and more distinguished testimonials were not lacking. A German missionary reported upon a bottle of the Neilgherry beer with great decision, classing it almost with the real German article, while an English chaplain roundly affirmed that he " could barely distinguish it from college ale." All the suggestions received by way of ad vice pointed in one direction. If Captain Ouch terlony would but " hop" the beer a little more, keep it a little longer, and send it out in the cask instead of the bottle he would achieve a com plete success. This was encouraging, no doubt, but the advice, as often happens, was too good to be followed. It was all very well to say " Brew in large quantities, put more hops in, and send us a hogshead or two.' Poor Captain Ouchterlony had neither materials nor " plant." He was only an amateur, engaged in a benevolent experiment, at his own costs and charges, for the good of his kind, and confined to the resources of a private house on the hill station. His only boiler was a copper pot, his stock of hops could be packed in a hamper, and the utmost quantity of beer he could produce at a brewing was 10 gallons. Give him the means, and he would do better; but then the Court of Directors must step in. The Madras Government does really seem to have been impressed with the promise of the expe riment, and the result of sundry " memoranda," " military consultations," and " minutes" was, that the whole account was forwarded to the Court of Directors just 11 years ago. What measures that august body adoted on the occasion, whether they thought the question irreversibly settled by the failure of 1841, or whether they themselves were suppressed before they could come to any decision on the matter, we cannot say. All we can tell the reader is, that just before Parliament rose Mr. W. Ewart moved for copies of the correspondence which had passed on the subject, and that this correspon dence, after revealing the story which we have re lated, concludes with the following notification : " No reply appears to have been made by the Court of Directors to the Government of Madras on this subject." We think this a great pity. As everything which goes to the manufacture of beer, temperature in cluded, can certainly be obtained in India, so important an experiment should have had fairer play. We believe there is nothing which India may not be made to produce. Whenever any kind of crop fails in any kind of country we are invariably as sured, and with perfect reason, that we can get all we want from India. Even China has no monopoly of tea or silk, nor America of cotton. We believe turnips or primroses could be grown in India as naturally as indigo or poppies. All we have to do is to select the soil, and if similar discrimination were applied to climates half the oppressiveness of Indian life ought to be at an end. There are places in India as healthy and agreeable as Kes wick or Eastbourne, if we would but take advan tage of them, and the success of a brewery would not be a bad test of the salubrity of a station. Wherever sound beer could be brewed British sol diers could comfortably live, and a moral of deep import might be drawn from a fair commercial ex periment.—Times. TB'S DAY'S SHIPPING. LONDON, Sept .

An intelligent and evidently well-informed cor respondent of the Dublin Evening post gives the subjoined detailed report of the state and prospects of the harvest in portions of the southern and mid land districts. His accounts are upon the whole favowrable, and there is certainly as yet no room either for despondency or alarm. Last week the same authority supplied some equally satisfactory information with regard to the progress of the har vest in Wexford and other parts of the province of Leinster. His present communication dates from Monkstown, county of York, September 3 : "I have been, since last I wrote, through King's anl Queen's counties, a considerable portion of Tipperary, and a wide district of the county of Cork. I have heard much, from good sources, of other counties, but I can speak of those I mention from personal observation. Unless where rivers have overflowed, or there has been an accu mulation of water in low lands, the crops have yet escaped very well, with the exception of potatoes, which have suffered much in some districts. There are fields of . prostrate grain in some places, but it is really surprising to see how kindly the soil has taken all the moisture, as if the rain quite agreed with it. This process of absorption has been greatly assisted by arterial and thorough drainage—the latter having been carried out far and wide. The real state of affairs, as regards the crops, I shall en deavour briefly to explain. There is a great deal of wheat, even on soils not very 'well adapted for it. In general, wheat has suffered very little—in many places not at all; and somehow, the straw is getting the autumnal hue with so little of sunshine, and after so much of rain. Certainly the grainhashanvoet filled so well, and I am sure, even if w e fine days before the reaping, it will not turn out as good in quality as if the ripening process had gradually proceeded in the natural way by summer heat. But still the wheat is in fair condition, and if we had dry warm weather for the remainder of the autumn I would have no fears as to the result, and we might calculate upon a produce not far below au average, if at all below it. For you must bear in mind that we hear nothing about smut—the terror of the tillage farmer—and certainly I have seen nothing of it. Whether this good symptom is owing to the wet, or notwithstanding all the rain, I shall not pronounce ; but the gratifying result is that we have a great breadth of wheat yet free from that blighting visitation, and the crop has up to this time held up well, only requiring a kindly sun to bring it to maturity. With reference to oats, the crop has certainly suffered, and many fields are still green or prostrate ; but it is a hardy grain ; and I have good hopes of it—not, perhaps, of a very large general yield, but of a fair moderate crop; that is to say, provided the weather now take up. It was again rainy yesterday forenoon, with rather a cold wind, as I came over from Middleton to this place ; but it cleared up after 2 o'clock, and has since re mained fine—the wind having gone round towards the north, with a fine bracing air, although a some what colder temperature, and at length I begin to hope that the rain has passed away. There is very little barley about here • but in other l oca liti es , although there are in different fields, generally that grain promises well. With reference to hay, there is great loss in low situations and heavy lands near rivers ; and generally the crop has suffered, but there is a heavy produce of what may be called. after-grass hay. There will be great inequality in the market value of hay according to quality. All things considered the potato crop has escaped pretty well. If excessive moisture could have killed the potato we should now have but a very scanty crop. One effect of the deluge of 1860 has been to put an end to the theory, so much in vogue among experi mental and ' scientific' farmers, about the delicacy and great sensibility of the potato since the murrain. of 1846. I have made the actual state of the potato a subject of anxious inquiry during the last month ; and I can report that the root has been grievously calumniated. Allowing for all the wet and the saturated state of the fields, whether in drills or lazy-beds, for sd long a time, the root has proved itself, speaking generally, nearly as healthy and vigorous as in the best years since the famine. In most places where I have been the foliage is withered—in many cases black ; and the root is affected by blight, more or less; but taking the crop all round I am sanguine that there will be a fair yield of sound potatoes. There will be a fine potato crop in some parts of the country ; there will be, allow ing for loss by blight, a pretty good crop in less favoured districts, especially if the present promises of fine weather shall be realised. Our autumn is yet to come. We have had no summer worth naming, but it is time yet for fine weather to (nes plete the harvest. One part of the poor man's. har vest, however, is almost past hope—l mean the saving of turf, which, in the districts through which I have passed, is almost exclusively the fue' i of the peasantry, even of the farmers. In one of the Cork journals I have seen an account of an unprece dented amount of speculation in the c,o'rn trade,' in consequence of the continuance of bad weather. Having made inquiry, I have ascertained from a reliable source that there has been .a good deal of speculation in foreign grain in Cork, although, per haps, not to the extent reported." T.HE MURDER OF A GIRL NEAR PONTE.FRACT. We gave an account yesterday of the murder of a young girl named Elizabeth Mitchell, who was shot dead in the house of her master, Mr. Spinks, of Upton Farm, near Pontefract, on Sunday evening. It was also stated that the deceased's fellow-servant, George Thorpe, a lad of 17, was taken into custody on suspicion of having committed the crime. The inquest on the girl's body was opened yes terday. Mr. Spinks stated that he left home on Sunday after noon, the prisoner (George Thorpe) and deceased remain ing in charge of the house. He had a gun, with some powder and shot, in the house; and on his return at night, after the murder, ho found appearances which led him to believe that the gun had been recently discharged. Annie Cookson, a girl of 16, stated that on Sunday after noon she went into Mr. Spinks's house, and found deceased and prisoner alone. Prisoner began teazing them, and some scuffling took place, but the lad did not appear to be angTY' although he once utte re d an oat h against deceased. Wit ness quitted the house with deceased's sister, les t S vm I deceased and prisoner alone. So on a ft erw ards ( 4 the u o'clock) she returned, an d f cun d th e g i r l dea d in h [ coal house.

Mr. Meson, surgeon, who was called in about two hours a after the disco very of the b o d y, found blood still oozing from wound on the point of the shoulder blade. The girl's stays and chemise had been burnt quite black, and had a circular hole burnt out about the size of a florin. It was as if the gun had been discharged close to her body. The seventh rib was fractured, and the heart shattered nearly to pieces, and the left lung wounded. Fifty three shot-corns had lodged in the heart and lung. Death would be instantaneous. It was proved that the shot ex tracted from the body of the deceased corresponded with those which Mr. Spinks bad kept in the house, and Super intendent Hall found two marks of blood on the smock worn by the prisoner on Sunday. When. these spots were shown to the prisoner, he said not a word. The prisoner when taken into custody trembled violently. The evidence dis closed no motive for the crime. No violence had been offered to the girl before she was murdered. The Jury found a verdict of wilful murder against the prisoner, who was thereupon committed for trial. Thorpe will be examin e d before the magistrates to-day. NEW BISHOP /FOR THE PAOIFIC ISLANDS.—The Rev. John Coleridge Patteson, M.A., formerly Fellow of Merton College, Oxford, son of rue ight Hon.
