The corn market, to-day, was very dull for Wheat, influenced still by the full supplies of foreign. English wheat was very short, but sale able only at ls. to 2s. less money. American Wheat was purchaseable at the same reduction, and other foreign also cheaper. Barley, beans, and a dull sale. Oats steady. The report of the Buenos Ayres Great Southern Railway, to be presented on the 26th inst., for the half year ended the 30th of June, furnishes an en- eouraging illustration of the results of enterprise in South America. The company, in view of the advantages of independence, have made arrange %eats to surrender their 7 per cent. guarantee, and the net revenue for the half year is stated to have b een £27,072, out of which an interim dividend, at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum, is recommended, Which will absorb £21,700, leaving £5,372 to be carried forward. It is now asserted that the contract for the new Turkish Loan has been definitively signed in Paris, and that the parties are a powerful corn titration of bankers for whom the Comptoir d'Es corapte will act as agents. There are houses on t his side who will take part in the arrangement, but it is not expected that the prospectus will be I S Bl led before the 4th or sth proximo. It appears that the subscription to the New Italian Loan in Paris amounts to 40,000,000 f., and that the general result will be a large reduction to t he Parties who have sent in applications. „ The suspension has been announced of M essrs . 41,8ndai, Riddel, and Co, of 'Manchester, manufac turers and warehousemen. At a meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Bowness 1 " 'fuck, manufacturers, Blackburn, the state ment of affairs showed liabilities for £14,092, and an apprehended deficiency of £9,917.

LA W INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. GEORGE AND WIFE V. SKIVINGTON. This was an action against a chemist and drug gist, for selling a hair wash which injured the female plaintiff's hair, and which now came before the court upon a demurrer to a declaration, which stated that the defendant sold to her a certain compound, made of ingredients known oniy to himself, which he represented to be fit and proper to be used as a hair wash, and that he so carelessly, unskilfully, and negligently conducted himself in and about the making of such compound that the suffered personal injury iu using the same. Judg ment for the plaintiffs. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. FERNEUX V. SHIMMIN. Sir John Karslake moved ou behalf of Mr. Fer ueux,managing director of the Merchants' Trading Company (Limited), having offices in Liverpool and London, for a rule, calling upon Mr. Hugh Shimmin, proprietor and publisher of a newspaper at Liverpool, to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against him for libel. The charge made against the appli cant in the newspaper.was that he had been con cerned in scuttling a vessel for the purpose of ob-. taining the insurance on a vessel to double her value. The article in question appeared in the Porcupine, which the defendant admitted was written by him. It was headed " Marine Coal Scuttling." The Lord Chief Justice said the learned counsel might take a rule. TRADE AND FINANCE. SATURDAY EVENINe. The Bank return of the present week skews an increas- ins demand for money, but there is reason to believe that the pressure which existed in the early part of the week was to some extent occasioned by the idea thathad become prevalent that a further advance would take place in the Bank rate of discount. This anticipation rested on N ery good grounds, and the tendency of money is slightly upwards. At this period of the year there is generally a good demand for money for commercial purposes, as our import trade is naturally more extensive towards the close of the year than at other times, commerce being in a great degree regulated by the order of the seasons. The great bulk of our imports being of vegetable origin, they arrive more freely at certain seasons than at others. In addition to this natural movement in the market, there exist at the present time certain exceptional features which cannot but have a decided influence upon the market. The amount of the loans now offering is unusually large, and this must have the effect of absorbing a great:deal of capital. In addition to the loan to the Corporation of the City of London and to the Metropolitan Board of Works— which, of course, offer exceptionally good opportunities for investment—there remains the fact that the seven millions for the service of the telegraphs must be raised by the Government before the close of the year. If this amount is to be raised in the open market, money will be strongly though tem porarily—affected ; on the other hand, the rumour that Terminable Annuities will be offered through the Post Office Savings Banks is entitled to some credit, and in the case of this plan being adopted the loan will have little effect upon the market. The foreign loans now offering are extensive, but it must be allowed that the credit of the countries now in the field is far from being unquestioned. The Portuguese loan appears to have passed, as usual, into the hands of a few large capitalists, who will con tinue to supply the demand for it until it is worked off their hands. Turkey is still hoping to get a large loan for railways, in addition to the loan now on the tapir, and most of the old borrowing States are again in such straits, that further appeals for assistance may be looked for. Italy has this week made her appearance in the market with a loan of £5,200,000, and from this it is evident that Count Cambray-Digny's anticipations with regard to the Exchequer have not been fulfilled, as indeed only very sanguine persons could have expected. The financial position of Italy is yearly becoming worse. Outlof a revenue of 33 millions the charge for interest, pensions, dm, is no less than 20 millions, that is to say that the irreducible expenditure of the country is about three-fourths of the rack revenue. This is such:a drain as no country can bear, and an annual addition to the incurable deficit is inevitable. The deficit last year was upwards of eight millions, and the Minister in his recent Budget estimated the total deficit at the close of the current year at £25,000,000. As we may be sure that the best side of affairs was presented to the Chamber, this may be7regarded as considerably under the mark. The Prince of Wrales will visit the Earl and Countess de Grey at Studley Royal, near Ripon, early in the ensuing month. Dr. Temple, the new Bishop of Exeter, will read himself in at the Cathedral on Holy Innocents' Day, the 28th December. On Saturday the Right Rev. Dr. George Moberly, the new Bishcp of Salisbury, was enthroned in his cathedral with the usual ceremonies. The Liverpool Mercury says that nothing has yet been ascertained in reference to the murder of Mr. Gleave, the farmer who was shot dead in his milk cart near Warrington. It is stated that the Government have determined on issuing a commission to inquire into the cause of the recent fatal attack on the persons returning from the tenant right meeting. In Convocation at Oxford University on Satur day the University seal was affixed to the instrument of election of the Marquis of Salisbury to the Chancellorship, to which the noble marquis was on Friday elected. The report of the commissioners appointed to in vestigate the cause of the riots in Londondorry on the oc casion of Prince Arthur's visit is in the Government prin ter's hands. It is believed the report will recommend the abolition of open-air demonstrations and displays, and the substitution of the constabulary for tho local police. A meeting, numerously and influentially attended, has been held at Carnarvon, with the object of memorialis ing Mr. Gladstone to appoint a WOsh bishop to St. Asaph in placo of Dr. Short, who intends to retire. One of the resolutions was moved by the Rev. Robert Ellis, Baptist minister. The speaker ascribed the prevalence of dissent in Wales principally to the appointment of English-speaking bishops, who wanted sym pathy with Wales, and bestowed livings on English rela tives. The second resolution, to the effect that the meeting should memorialise Mr. Gladstone in favour of the appoint ment of a Welsh bishop for St. Asaph and other Welsh sees on vacancies occurring, was unanimously carried.

The great son of Chatham, as dis dainful of all shows of honour himself as be was ambitious of real power, is traditionally reported to have avowed the principle that any gentleman of sufficient estate who wished to be ennobled ought to have his claim admitted. It was ask and have. Mr. Gladstone differs as widely a 3 possible in temperament from Mr. Pitt, but he appears to arrive at the same practical conclusions. First a few knighthoods, in cluding the re -pectable and able electioneering agent of the Liberal party. Then a bundle of baronets of unquestionable respectability. The outgoing Lord Mayor takes his place alone in the procession, as becomes his signal distinction ; and now ten Peers are added at a stroke to the House of Lords,—offers of Pcerages were made to at least two others,who declined the glitteringgift,the historian of Greece being one of them—and the cry is still that more are coming. This ennobling of ten Peers at a batch is an argument, if any were needed, for re-considering the question of Life Peerages raised by Lord Russell last Session. Unex ceptionable as we believe all the new Peers to be, it is impossible not to have some feeling of uneasiness at seeing ten springs of • descent grafted at a stroke in the House of Lords. The sons of Whigs elevated to the Peerage —nay, Whigs themselves to whom the accident happens—often drop behind into Conservatism ; and how is a House of Lords perpetually increasing in numbers, and always inclined to reaction, to be reconciled with an elec tive assembly rigidly restricted in numbers, and daily more jealous of its authority? It is a severe trial of our faith in the nnaltorableness of the future, and if our analysis of the feelings of the new peers be correct, life peerages:would have satisfied the greater part of them. They accept their honours mainly from personal motives ; and though they would doubtless be pleased that their sons should be similarly honoured, they would be satisfied if they were advanced in a similar fashion to themselves by the choice of a Minister as they advanced in years. The Telegraph remarks that Oxford fins just chosen the Marquis of Salisbury Chancellor of the University, in the room of the late Lord Derby. Convocation settled the matter on Friday afternoon in a quiet and respectable manner, with so little active discussion of rival claims that the solitary vote given for Lord Carnarvon was almost felt to be "out of order." The office is almost purely orna mental, and any question which could arise about candi dates must have turned, therefore, upon personal conside ration. We do not call to mind any duty or ceremony which the Chancellor has to discharge, that is not of the most formal and perfunctory character. Lord Derby was hardly ever seen in Oxford after his installation, when he presided in the Sheldonian Theatre, and made a batch of D.C.L.'s—among whom was his own son, now his successor. The predecessor of Lord Derby was the Duke of Wellington, who, in point of dignity and position, was indeed an ideal Chancellor; although irreverent men in the University still recall with zest the awful false quanti ties made by the famous and worthy Warrior in his Latin address. We are inclined to felicitate the Universityupon its new Chancellor. Perhaps no choice could have been better, in view of the advantages which the institution must reap from the presence of an energetic and not too full-banded representative in the House of Lords, 4.nd we must admire the prescient wisdom with which Oxford thus links herself on to the progress of legislative events, and transfers from the old Toryism to the new the custody of her curule chair. The transfer, we believe, slight and mild as it is, will by-and-by cost her something ; but that is not the question at the present momenta She had to replace Lord Derby, and, in doing so with the Marquis of Salisbury, she has obtained a noble man of high station and increasing influence ; though she has thereby proved, what was already but too well known, that she has, as now constituted, no sympathy with the march of legislation. It will, nevertheless, proceed. On Thursday last, says the Standard, Bishop Wilber force formally anti finally took leave of the clergy and laity of the diocese which he has served faithfully and well for close upon a quarter of a century. The occasion was no ordinary one, and the farewell charge which the Bishop designate of Winchester delivered in the chapel of Christ Church, which is also the Cathedral of Oxford, was well suited to the occasion. There probably never was a prelate who in the course of a long and active career, which it is to be hoped, for the good of the nation and the nation's Church, may yet be continued for many a year in the province to which he has been summoned, has been exposed to a great variety of charges and a larger frequency of attacks than has fallen to the share of Dr. Wilberforce. As Bishop of Oxford there are errors, perchance, which Dr. Wilberforce may have committed, just as there are errors which all conditioned beings commit. The enthusiasm of faith and the championihip of belief are not, and cannot be, the sure conditions of human fallibility. Moralists tell us that the value of our act is to be weighed byits intention. It is to this test that Dr. Wilberforce's career should be submitted :it is this test—the severest test of all—which it will satisfactorily stand. Such men as Dr. 'Wilberforce the Church needs. It is because ho has done all he has done that it is so easy to forget all differences of opinion with Dr. Wilberforce ; that the sorrowing regret which he leaves behind him amid his Oxford clergy is so prevalent ; and that the loss of one diocese is the gain of another. Preacher, writer, speaker, controver sialist, Dr. 'Wilberforce will be remembered by the clergy of Oxford as all these, but he will leave other memories behind him—memories of many an act of spiritual and of worldly kindness done to the cottage poor of Oxfordshire and Berkshire ; memories of many a sermon full of honest exhortation and of Christian solace, preached to village congregations and workhouse inmates. No wonder that Bishop Wilberforce should have found it difficult to bid adieu to the diocese in which he has so long been in stalled, "The last word almost refuses to be spoken." We do not know, says the Daily News, what precise amount of truth there may be in the rumour that Mr. Goschen is about to resort to the use of the extreme powers reserved to the President of the Poor Law Board, and to take the management of the St. Pancras Workhouse out of the hands of the guardians. But it is plain that public opinion is becoming ripe for such a proceeding. These gentlemen by their utter inefficiency, their stump oratory, and their rowdyism, are educating the people to call for centralisation, or anything else which they would have been frightened at a few years ago, in order to be delivered from the disgraceful state of things now perpetrated under the name of local self-government. The meeting of the guardians last Saturday shows that, far from learning by experience, the warnings they have received have only made them more obstinate and perverse than ever. The Spectator recom mends a suspension of self-government in St. Pancras for five years, to give the parish a respite from mismanage ment ; while the Saturday Review would put a few of the guardians in the dock at the Old Bailey. The public at large regards these matters with too much indifference; but if once it should come to be generally understood that these shameful squabbles are endangering the health of the population beyond the boundaries of St. Pancras by favouring the spread of relapsing fever, short work will be made of the pretensions of the guardians.

The state of semi-starvation in which so many thousands of the working classes of London have been steeped for the last four or five years has assumed the form of famine fever. Towards the latter end of last year several cases were Admitted into the Fever Hospital. During the first four months of the present year the epidemic struggled to establish itself without success ; but as the year wore on it began to make greater way. It is not a hungry and half-clad population which we have now upon our hands. It is a population amongst whom famine fever is progressing with frightful rapidily, only to be curbed by prompt, energetic, and libe ral measures. It is most essential that the sick should at once be removed from amongst the healthy. The circular of the Privy Council states that "ample hospital accommodation is an indispensable con dition for limiting the extension of the disease." From all this it is clear that our work this winter will not only require relief committees. They will probably have to be more active than ever. Both to prevent people from taking the fever, and to help them to recover from it, the grand essential is nourishment. But for the intermediate condition we want hospitals, doctors, and nurses, supplied upon the most liberal scale; and perhaps still more important is the visitation of houses in the poorer quarters of the town, and the application of whatever remedies for their purification the sanitary authorities may direct. The herald is afraid the "Roving Engli3hman's" con's, dente in his country's institutions must by this time have been sorely tried and sadly shaken. No matter in what quarter he has looked he has found every man's hand against him. The whole nation appears to have entered into a cruel conspiracy to drive him from the land of his nativity, and to deprive bins of the rewards to which he is entitled for the services he has rendered in sundry diplomatic or quasi -diplomatic employments. Possibly, if the world knew its greatest men, the • good deeds of Mr. Grenville M urray would' be blazoned on the scroll of fame ; heralded forth to admiring audiences wherever the British name is known, and treated as ample justification for any eccentricities in which a man of so much ability and versatility may think proper to indulge. But Lord Romilly made very short work of Mr. Grenville Murray's application. His lordship decided that the doctrines of constitutional law were no less the doctrines of our equitable tribunals. Tho Foreign Office has tho right of appointing or dismissing its own servants, and the latter have no pretence for treating the sums which Parliament annually votes for their salaries as a permanent fund, provided for their especial benefit. Tho Sovereign is served by her Ministers, and upon them the duty of retaining or dismis sing their subordinates is east. Mr. Murray has deservedly failed in his endeavour to improve the position of a ser vant of the Crown holding office during good behaviour, and always dependent for his salary upon an annual vote, into that of an independent gentleman,with a life-interest in a sum of £600,00t) a year, paid into the Treasury by much-enduring taxpayers. ; OLONIAL GOTICHNMNZIT SICCURITno.

LIFE IN A NVOEKIIOUSE.7—T strapping young women named MaCartby and Conner were ',Jewel before Mr. Vaughan, charged wish creating. a disturbauee yesterday in St. Giles's workhouse. The officer attached to the establishment said yester day the prisoners, both of whom had beou inmates of the workhouse for the last 10 years, had a quarrel about a shilling, and as they could not stitle the difference they resolved to fight it out. They went into•the yard, where there were about a hundred of the inmates, and a ring having been formed the two women went is and began fighting iu the most desperate manner. The people living in the houses surrounding the place were attracted to their windows, and altogether a most disgraceful scene was presented. As soon as it was possible ho separated the two women, but it was a work of some difficulty, as they held each other so tightly by the hair ; they were both very unmanageable paupers, and they defied the autho rities of the place. Macarthy said the statement of the officer was all un true. They bad a row in the hall, but not in the yard, and, as for the people looking out of their windows, it was a pity they had'ut something better to do. If she had been in the house nine or ten years they had had the value of the vietuals'she got out of her, for they made her work hard enough. Conner also ;aid the "row" was in the hall, and she only stood up fur her rights. Mr. Vaughan said it was most disgraceful that two yaung women, who had been lazy enough to remain in the house for ton years, and all that time be a burden on the rate payers, could not conduct themselves in a quiet and orderly manner. The least they could do was to behave themselves, but, as they appeared disinclined to do that he should send them to prison for 14 days, and they would have an opportunity of learning what hard work in a prison was. Macarthy—All riglft, old boy. I'll do the 14 days I'll do a month for that sneaking officer when I come out. Conner—And so will I. Go it, old gal ; don't funk about 14 days. MARLBOROUGII-STREET. A GENTLEMAN CHARGED WITH CRUELTY TO A HORSE. —Mr. Thomas Grimaton Deards, gentleman, of No. 1, Princes -cottages, St. Peter's-road, Hammersmith, was charged before Mr. Mansfield with cruelty► to a horse by working it in an unfit state. Daniel Palmer, 54 C 14 proved seeing the defendant in Coventry-street, yesterday, driving a horse attached to a phaetcn, and noticing the horse had a false collar on, he told him to stop, and on examining the horse found it was not in a fit state for work, having sore shoulders, and a discharge from them. Defendant got down, and said, "Oh, it's nothing; it's only Russian tallow, and the false collar is to prevent chafing." The horse was in bad condition, and on the way to the station the defendant said he hoped it would not be serious, and offered him ss. The defendant said that finding the horse had sores he gave it a month's rest, and having fed it rather too well he brought it out yesterday for exercise. Hem y Taylor, officer of the Royal Society for the Pre vention of Cruelty to Animals, said he had examined th• horse, and on the point of each shoulder there was an old wound, and the horse was unfit for Work. In reply to Mr. Mansfield; the witness said the horse was an aged ono and in very weak condition. Mr. Mansfield fined the defendant 108. or seven days. WESTMINSTER.. Curtious CHARGE OF BIGAMY. —William Shaw Hewitt a man about 38 years of age, described as a charged with feloniously intermarrying with Mary Ant Woods, his former wife, June Griffin, being then, am now, alive. There was no evidence of the first marriage, but the second wife tendered herself as evidence. Mr. Selfe said he should not hear her until the first mcr riage was proved. The second wife produced a cert;ficato of the marriage eolemni:ed at Liverpool in 1851, between William Shaw (lonia and Jams Griffin, and also two letters received from the first wife, who is at Liverpool. Mr. Selfe read the letters, and asked the prisoner if he objected to being stripped and examined. Prisoner said no; ho was a tailor, and the man de ,cribod in the certificate was a sailor. At the timo of the alleged first marriage he was in the 98th Regiment of Foot and knew the former husband, 1$ hom he bad seen in New York. Mr. Selfe said exactly so ;,the letters produced said that At the time of the marriage in Liverpool the prisoner was a deserter from the 98th Regiment. Could he find bail ? Prisoner said he no friends. He was just about to start for India. Frederick Loveday, 14 B R, said when the prisoner was brought to the station and tho certificate produced, he said ho had been expecting it. Mr. Self() remanded the prisoner, and ordered him to ind bail in £lO for his appearance. lie also directed the constable to make inquiries.. THAMES. INTIMIDATING A WIT NESS*—J ohn Sullivan, a we'l known blackguard and ruffian, was brought up on re mand on a charge of assalting and robbing Catherine Flynn in the Black Horse public- house in Well-street, near the Sailors' Home, Whitechapel. The woman, who had been terribly illused by the prisoner, did not attend on the first examination through terror, and the Magistrate having rocefvod sufficient evidence to justify him in re manding the prisoner now asked if Catherine Flynn was in Attendauce. Childs, 193, H Division, the constable in charge of the case replied, "No, sir; the prisoner said if she did attend she would have her brains knocked out ; he uttered a ter rible oath when he said so." Last night another fellow said to the complainant, "you will have your brains knocked out if you appear against Jack Sullivan." The prisoner—We have lived together. She was a itavey in Tiger Bay. Mr. Paget—l don't care what she is. I will have her here, and you shall not escape. If any one dares to threaten or intimidate this unfortunate woman, whom you have been Musing and robbing, they shall bo severely punished. You are remanded again till Thursday next. WILD SPORTS OF THE EAST.—Elizabeth Evans, with her hand bandaged, was charged with assaulting another woman named Julia Driscoll, whose nose was strapped up. Both females aro persons of infamous character. An old grudge existed between them, and inflamed by gin and hatred they determined to fight it out, and the two furies struck, bit, and scratched each other. The prisoner bit her adversary's nose, and Driscoll bit the prisoner's finger and nearly divided it. Mr. Paget sent for Mr. Horton, a surgeon, of High street, Stepney, to examine the two women, and he pro nounced that there was no danger in either case, but both were seriously injured. Mr. Paget commented on the disgraceful nature of the occurrence in a civilised community,Swhere two women fight like savages. It was really shocking to humanity. He remanded the prisoner for a week, and requested Mr. Horton to attend again and he would receive his evidence at length, and then decide the case. EXECUTION OF THE DEPTFORD MURDERER. ----- Joseph W e l s h , aged 42, who was convicted at the last session of the Central Criminal Court of the wilful murder of John Abrahams, at Dept ford, was executed this morning at nine o'clock, withinjthe walls of the County Prison at Maidstone. fle walked to the scaffold with a firm step, and ap peared to be dead in au instant, and hardly the movement of a muscle was perceptible. The body, after hanging for an hour, was cut down, and at 12 o'clock an inquest was held upon it. The jury returned a verdict that the deceased had been exe cuted in the due form of the law, and the body was buried within the prison. Colonel Robertson Ross, Adjutant-General of Militia for the Dominion of Canada, has reported favourably to the Privy Council of the Dominion on the preparations made for emergencies at Gode rich, Toronto, and other points. Captain Cumming, 48th Regiment, will proceed to Langard Fort, Harwich, to-day, and will take over the command of the troops at that station from Captain Daubeny, 2d Battalion, 18th Regi ment. Captain Daubony will return to Colchester.

Mr. Husk, of the Royal Music Hall, Holborn, announces that his benefit will take place on Friday next, the 19th inst., on which occasion an entertainment of more than ordinary attraction will be presented. Mr. husk has received promises of support from a number of talented performers, and to add further eclat to the evening's amuse ments the Hall is to be tastefully decorated with flowers. The endeavour of Mr. Husk has al mays been to provide for the comfort and entertainment of the thousands who patronise " the Royal," and fur such exertions he deserves, and will no doubt receive, the general support of those to whose pleasure he has so largely contr:butod. The latest production of the Messrs. Fuller, the managers of the Female Art Gallery, Groat Russell-street, Bloomsbury -square, is a series of new fernographa for colouring and illumination. The novelty has all the appearance of a highly-finished drawing, the different varieties of ferns that compose the various groups are most gracefully and artistically blended, and when the vivid colours used in illuminating are filled in they present a beautiful appearance. The fernographs are the produc tions of the lady students of the gallery, and from their great merit and cheapness a very large sale will ensue. --- SFORTiIiG INTELLIGENCE —This Day SHREWSBURY AUTUMN MEETING.

Count Legouidec's Ajax 111., winner of the Grand International at Porchefontaine, has been purchased by Monsieur G. Fould for 480 mom Although foaled in France he is English bred, his dam Ricochet, by Volti geur, having been covered by Musjid and sold to Count Lagrange in 186tt, I Secretary Robeson has issued the following cir cular:—" To make the navy popular with seamen, and to overcome, as far as may be, the difficulty of obtaining men who will make it their permanent home, it is necessary that they should never be needlessly denied such indulg ences as may be consistent with the efficiency and discip line of the service. Experience shows that while those officers who indulge their men with liberty, when by good conduct they have entitled themselves to it, make the service popular, those who unnecessarily restrain them afford grounds for discontent instead of good con duct, and shut the doors of the navy against that class of seamen most valuable to it. Liberty o* shore should be used as an encouragement and reward for good con duct. It is therefore suggested that hereafter com manding officers stall g i ve to such of their men, as by uniform good conduct d eserve i t, every indulgence in this respect compatible with the performance of the necessary dupes and the ma'ntenance of discipline on board their ships. Commanding officers are directed, instead of with holding all the pay of the men until the end of the cruise, when it is liable to be spent in a short time. to allow such of their crews as desire to draw it one-fifth of their monthly pay at the end of each month. Attention to these matters will, it is believed, do much to make the service popular, and, when understood, to encourage enlistments. The Department is also of the opinion that the custom of taking away the ray o f s enmen by summar y court-mart i al is an injudicious one, and calculated to punish tho families of the offenders rather than themselves. Summary court martials aro intended to punish cases not serious enough for the attention of a General Court, and there are a variety e o ff f e p c u t n u a i s l h t i o n e n n l a ts i n p u r , o i e n d r i s t i o i n be i e n o d u 1 V t h 4 h i g w r il l o n b i e [' f ar] u n r d s the compensation for their labour, priv!ttion,aud exposure. _ sanctioned by t C h u e n t g t r k e i s i s lg i a n w i a ts y discret ion seanieu unless , of has passed 11 law prohibiting. the this Department, but if the othcersconnuanding vessels are influenced by the views of the Le, artineut above ex pressed, there will surely be no necessity for the ex ercise by the Department of any discretion in the pre mises." 1311EAKFAST.— EPPS'S COCOA.—GRATEFUL AND COM , FOUTING.—The very agreeable character of this prepara tion has rendered it a general favourite. The Civil Service Gazette remarks:—" The singular success which gr.Epps attained by his homoeopathic preparation of cocoa has never boon surpassed by any experimentalist. By a thorough knowledge of the natural laws which govern the operations of digestion and nutrition, and by a careful ap plication of the fine properties of well selected cocoa, Mr. Epps has provided our breakfast tables with a delicately flavoured beverage which may save us many heavy doc tors' bills."
