MONEY MARKET AND CITY NTH'S. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The question which now occupies the attention of financiers and others interested in the cou'rse of monetary affairs is the probable effect of the pre sent accumulation of bullion. The stock of the precious metals now held in the Bank of England must be within three millions of the highest point ever known in this country, and before a reaction can be produced, either by the development of trade, an increase of speculation, or a drain on continental account—either for loan or railway purposes— there is every reason to believe that a further con siderable augmentation will take place. Wary as the public now ar: with regard to their transac tions even in the legitimate circles of trade, a con fident impression nevertheless exists among experi enced capitalists that a new era of speculation will follow as the natural consequence of the vast accumulation of means at the command of the banking community. The extraordinary reserve and hesitation on the part of those who have money to employ is considered no index to the future course of public opinion on the subject of invest ments, because it is known that on previous occa sions extreme prudence has been quickly followed by a general rush into wild and extravagant ad venture. At present, however, this opinion is based solelyupon what occurred in previous periods of finan cial ease, for notwithstanding a slightly increased amount of business on the Stock Exchange great circumspection is still exercised in the time deal ings as well as in permanent investments. Secu rities of almost every description are advancing, the uninterrupted flow of bullion into the Bank of England, and the continuance of low rates of dis count rendering the markets exceedingly buoyant, and a few purchases are sufficient to stimulate the improvement. A large amount of gold was sent into the Bank yesterday, viz., about £250,000, principally con sisting of Russian and American remittances. It will thus be observed that the influx is maintained even in the absence of Australian arrivals ; and, as during the next fortnight upwards of half-a-million sterling is likely to come forward from the anti podes, a reduction in the minimum to 21 per cent. is considered imminent. First-class commercial bills are negotiated as low as 21 per cent., and the Bank directors cannot find employment for their accumulated resources either in the shape of loans or in discount operations. The rates of Continental Exchange continue steady, and gold is still dearer in this country than in France or Holland. The quotations for 60 days' bills at New York on England is at a point that will admit of profitable consignments of specie. The amounts which may be received from that quarter, together with the Australian and Russian supplies, will therefore insure an extensive impor tation. In the Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday a moderate amount of business was transacted, 5,000 bales having been disposed of at about previous quotations. The Railway Share Market pre sented rather more animation, and prices slightly improved. The general meeting of the Scinde Railway took place to-day. The works of the line appear to have commenced under the most favourable circum stances, and the whole of the requisite land had been made over to the Scinde Railway Company. The works in the hands of the contractors are making satisfactory progress. The harbour of Kurrachee was rapidly improving. The accounts attached to the report showed the external trade of Scinde for 1857-58 to amount to Rs. 215,92,298, or nearly ten and a quarter millions sterling, exclusive of the value of Government stores, being an increase over the previous year's trade of Rs. 73,90,419. After an able speech from Mr. Andrew on the relative advantages of the Scinde Railway, the Punjaub and Indian Steam Flotilla Companies, the report was adopted. There is rather less animation in the English Stock Market to-day, owing to the settlement of the foreign and railway accounts, but the recent advance is tolerably well maintained. Excepting a few sales in realisation of profits, there is nothing to create the slightest reactionary tendency. The Government broker has purchased £lO,OOO stock for the Savings Banks. Consols are 98} for money, 98k 4 for October 4, and 981 I- for the November account. India Stock remains firm at 218 to 219. The March Exchequer Bills 355. prem., ditto June 255. to 283. prem., and ditto Bonds are 1001. East India Debentures are about 991 4. In the market for Foreign Securities there has been rather less animation, but prices remain with out any material alteration. Venezuelan 5 per Cents., 40i ; ditto Deferred, 151 ; Mexican, 2 11 I ex div. ; Brazilian 41 per Cents., 1858, 96a- Spanish New Deferred, 30; Turkish 6 per Cents. are now 971 a ; and ditto New Loan Scrip, par to 4 prem., having experienced a decline. A further upward movement has taken place to-day in the value of Railway Shares, most of the principal lines being about 1 to 1 per cent. higher. Caledonian, Great Western, and North British have improved £1 to £1 10s.; Great Northern, Brighton, and Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, 10s. ; and Eastern Counties, North-Western, South-Western, Midland, and North-Eastern (Berwick), ss. The Foreign and Colonial lines have been at steady rates. East Indian have improved £1 ; and Paris and Lyons, and Bahia and San Francisco were at about previous rates. Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares were at almost nominal rates. Union of London de clined ss. BRITISH FUNDS—CLOSING PRICES. 3 per Cont.

A letter from the island of Candia, dated the 15th inst., describes the country to be in a very disturbed -state. The new Governor has not been able to carry out the instructions he received at Constantinople. He endea voured to arrest some of the chiefs in the late disturbances, but his agents wore forced to desist, in consequence of the resistance they experienced. Armed Turks hav e even d are d to traverse the capital of the island, vociferating " Death to the Christians." . Some of them were arrested, but were immediately released, so great is Mussulman influence. A soldier of the Ist Regiment of Cuirassiers, bearing the somewhat singular name of Gilblasse, has been tried at Paris by the military tribunal for a curious robbery: One night in July last he was (as he had been not fewer than 642 times before) detained in the lock-up for miscon duct, and being a good deal tormented with the heat he got np and began stamping about the floor. All at once, to his astonishment, the floor gave way beneath him, and he fell into a cellar beneath.. At first he was rather frightened, but he soon discovered to his delight that the cellar con tained several casks of wine, and lying on his back he turned the cock of one of them, and let the wine flow into his mouth. He then called to some fellow-prisoners, and they drank of the wine also. On the whole, between 50 and. 60 quarts were either drunk or wasted. The tribunal con demned the man to a year's imprisonment. Gal /plan/.

THE CROSSING-SWEEPING NUISANCE.—A boy about 14 years of age, named John Bryan, was placed at the bar, charged with using insulting and disgusting language to a married woman. Elizabeth Young, the wife of a labouring man, residing at Fulham-green, said last evening she, in company with another female, was crossing the road near Trafalgar square, when the prisoner came 'up to her and asked her to remember poor Jack. She obtained a halfpenny from her friend and offered it to the boy, when he made use of the most obscene language possible to imagine. She threatened to give him into custody on the arrival of a policeman, when he recommenced using bad language, and followed her into the - centre of the square, where he, with his broom, raised her gown in a most indecent manner. On the arrival of the constable she gave the boy in charge. Police-constable 624 A said two gentlemen near Charing cross told him one of the crossing -sweepers had been insulting a female, when he immediately proceeded to the centre of Trafalgar-square, and there found the prisoner in company with a great many other boys who sweep crossings in the neighbourhood. Immediately they saw him they ran away, but he succeeded in:securing Bryan. Two gentlemenlold him of the indecent manner in which the boy lifted the woman's gown with his broom, and said that had they not been leaving London thit evening, they would have attended this morning at the police court. Mr. Henry (to the prisoner)—What have you to say to this indecent conduct ? You can't say you don't know better ? Prisoner, crying—lt wasn't me ; but 'cos the r other boys wasn't cotch and I wasy it's all blamed to me. I didn't do what the 'oman says, as I hadn't a broom.' Mr. Henry—l believe you did, and lam determined, if possible, to prevent respectable persons from being insulted bythe crossing-sweepers who infest this locality. How many do you think were there yesterday ? Constable—About 30, your worship. We find it nearly impossible to protect respectable people from their annoy ance, as they are so rapid in their movements. When a constable tells them to go away, they invariably turn round, and, after a volley.of the most disgusting language, they run away. _ _ Mr. Henry (to the boy)—Have you a father or mother Lying ? _ _ _ Prisoner—No ; I live with my aunt and grandmother hi Newcastle-court, and I gets my living by sweeping cross ings. Mr. henry—l must make some more inquiry about you. In the meantime I shall see what a week's solitary con finement will do to improve you. The boy, who evidently expected to be sent to prison for a longer term, brightened up when he heard it was only for a week. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDIS ESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 29, 1858. tongued woman, and he could not believe what she said, for she had told two lies while giving her evidence. The first was that she was not in the police court yesterday, and the second that sbe was not drinking in the public house op posite the court, with the persons who had given evidence , against the prisoners. The complainant was in the police court, and also drinking with the rival party yesterday. He was afraid that Mrs. Lyons had brought on her sufferingu by her own misconduct and abuse, and as both parties were blameable, and had been making a disturbance, he should discharge the prisoners. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A BURGLARY PREVENTED.—John Thompson and John Lindsey, who have several aliases, and both of whom re fused their addresses, but appear to be well known to the police, were charged under the following circumstances. Sergeant Crocker, 9 C, said—Last night I was in Davies street, Berkeley-square, in company of Joy, 338 A, and while passing Claridge's Hotel saw the two prisoners stand ing in the doorway of No. 55. As we approached the house heard a soft whistle, when Lindsey stepped up and stood close to the other. then told Joy to seize him while I took the other. . Lindsey then made a spring, but I tripped him up and lawn on him till further assistance came, as he was a very powerful man. I then heard the jink of keys and sprang my rattle, and a man named Sawyer came up. I asked him to stand by and search the place, which he did. A short time afterwards, on reaching the road opposite the house, I found five skeleton keys in a piece of rag. On searching Lindsey, I found some lucifer matches. _ _ _ Henry Joy, 33S A, a detective. confirmed the sergeant's evidence, and said that Sawyer picked up a key and gave it to him. It was what was called a " skeleton Bramah," and having afterwards tried the door of the house found it would open it, and also the next. On the way to the sta tion, Thompson said, " Thank God it is not 9 o'clock." Had heard that the doors in the street had been tried on different nights Mary Ann Rammer, servant at 5.5, Davies-street, prov e d hearing the chain on the door rattle a short time previous to the capture of the prisoners. Lambert, 689, said he knew Lindsey to have been com mitted for three months, under the Vagrant Act, at Bow street. Mr. Beadon said he should remand them till Wednesday, for further inquiries as to previous convictions. I'IIA3IE S. SAVAGE AND UNPROVOKED ASS A IT LT.—Mary Fitzgerald, a tall and masculine woman, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with assaulting and wounding a poor man named George M‘Mullen, whose forehead was covered with a surgical plaster, and his face, the front of his shirt, and his clothes saturated with gore, which gave him a hideous appearance. The prosecutor is a little, harmless Irishman, of rather weak intellect, an object of pity, not of vengeance. He dwells in Blue Anchor-yard, Rosemary-lane. H e was passing through Cooper's-court, Upper East Smithfield, last night, when the prisoner, who was quarrelling with some of her country people, suddenly attacked M'Mullen, and struck him a tremendous blow on the forehead with a poker, inflicting a fearful wound two inches in length, and penetrating to the bone. He was insensible for some time afterwards and lost a large quantity of blood. Mr. Yardley—Why did this woman strike you, M'Mullen? Witness—For no reason at all, sir. I said nothing to her, and she said, " Stand back, or I'll hit you," and then knocked me down. The prisoner, in defence, said, "I don't know what did." Mr. Yardley—What do you mean by that ? The prisoner—l was quite tipsy, sir. Joseph Saunders, 17 H, a police sergeant, said that the wound received by M'Mullen was a terrible one. The prisoner was very drunk when I took her into custody. Mr. Yardley What is the prisoner P Saunders—She is a prostitute, and left Ireland only a few months ago, and since she has been here has been a terror to her neighbours. Mr. Yardley—l sentence the prisoner to one month's imprisonment and hard labour, as a disorderly prostitute. MURDEROUS ASSAULT.—John Coakley, an Irish labourer, aged 33, and Ellen Coakley, his wife, 24, were brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with violently assaulting and wounding Jane Lyons. The case originated out of an Irish row in Rose-court, Upper East Smithfield, and all the parties were at this court yesterday, and their broils occupied the attention of the magistrate several hours. When they returned to Rose court the quarrel was renewed. Mrs. Lyons, who is far advanced in pregnancy, was passing along Rose-court, when-Mrs. Coakley- taunted her, shook her pockets, and rattled the money in it. Mrs. Lyons said "You had better pay me the sixpence you owe me ;" to which Mrs. Coakley replied, " I will owe it to you as long as you owed me a shilling," and struck Mrs. Lyons. The male prisoner said, " Give it to her ;if you don't, I will." They both kicked her and beat her, and the consequence of the out rage, Mrs. Lyons said, was likely to be a miscarriage. She had certainly received most serious contusions and bruises. While the prisoners were beating and kicking her a Mrs. Murphy called out " Kick it out of her ; kick her out ;" and used other expressions of a similar character. The prisoners said Mrs. Lyons was the aggressor, and annoyed them directly they returned from the police-court. Several witnesses were examined, and their evidence went to prove both parties - were equally to blame. kr. Yardley said hs was afraid Mrs. Lyons was a log. CORN EXCHANGE. Fresh up, to-day, coastwise and by land carriage, only a limited supply of English wheat came to hand ; but we had several of Monday's unsold samples on offer. The demand for all kinds was in a very sluggish state, but we have no further decline to notice in prices. Nearly 12,000 quarters of foreign wheat have came in this week. Even the finest qualities met a dull sale ; in deed so little business was transacted that the quMations were almost nominal. Floating cargoes, too, were a heavy sale. We were fairly supplied with inferior barley ; but the show of prime samples was very limited. The former sold heavily • but the latter were firm in price. The malt t ra d e was healthy, at full currencies. _ Oats—the'supply of which was large—moved off slowly, at the late decline. Beans, peas, and flour were dull, but not cheaper. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK.

Deciding Heat—At the Duke's Stand, 6to 5 was laid on Heir-at-Law ; at the winning post 7to 4 was betted on him. After a fine race, Heir-at-Law won by a neck. His riders's foot slipped out of the stirrup before reaching the post, and the horse overpowering little Edwards, jumped some chains which had been left up at the " turn of the lands," and the lad fell off. He was un hurt. Lady Well took a clear leap over the chains, but her rider maintained his seat. On returning to scale an objec tion was lodged against The Heir, on the ground that he had hung on Lady Well, and thus prevented her winning. The stewards investigated the charge immediately on reach ing the town, and decided in favour of The Heir-at-Law.

JOSEPH HO WE ON ENGLAND. We extract, with great pleasure from the Boston _Dal& Thfreller ' of July 8, th e following lifilliant oration delivered by the Hon. Je l 11 sep i owe, in Nova Scotia— a t th e D emocrat i c Fe,tival—in an swer to the toast, " Our Mother Country !"—[Ed. Sun] : " Mr. Howe said—lf this be a Democratic feast, all I will say of it is, that Monsieur Sover could not improve the viands, that the wines have a most aristocratic flavour, and that the fruits and flowers might be set upon the table of the gods. Ido not know whether I am a Democrat or not, but I have been fighting half my life at the North, to make every , man, whatever his creed, or origin, or compl ex i o n ; equal in the eye of one responsible government, equal in the presence of universal laws. We Englishmen are endeavouring to combine in one general system the forty States and Provinces which compose the British Empire, scattered over every clime, embrac ing 300,000,000 of people, speaking every lan guage ; and, while combining them, we desire to develop their resources by free trade with each other, and, if possible, with all the world. If the democracy of this country are striving so to com bine the thirty-one States of this confederacy, then I wish you success with all my heart. (Applause.) You-would be fools and madmen, called to this vocation, in possession of half a continent, filled with boundless resources, with a glorious history to reflect upon and boundless resources to develop, if from any want of skill or statesmanship you failed to preserve this Union. England, Ireland, and Scot land, wia.o do not envy but glory in your prosperity, would despise you if you dick. British America, whose interests are involved in your success, would deeplyregret the dissolution of this grcatconfederaev. The sentiment which you have just given does honour to your feast and to your nation. " Our Mother Country." Why should we not love and honour her ? Why should she not respect and appreciate us ? Your fathers and grandfathers and mine fought out, like brave men as they were,their differences of opinion. And I, though a British subject, have lived to rejoice that we were beaten in that old war, for human liberty and civilisation, the world over, even in the British Islands them selves, have gained more by your victories than would have been gained had your rights been trodden down. But, bear in mind, my friends, that the Britons of the present day are not those who oppressed you. Your rivals in commerce, and arts, and arms, they may be, but, thank God, they are at last your friends. Ardent lovers of liberty like yourselves, they have worked out, under other forms, the great problem of :ielf o. o overnment. Comprehending the d es ti n y o f the British races, they are gratified to see you on one-half of this Continent, ruling your thirty republics, while we at the North arc laying slowly, but securely, the foundations of a great empire. It would be strange, indeed, Mr. Chair man, if New England did not love Old England with all her heart. How closely do the two countries resemble each other. On every side, as I ramble 'overyour beautiful States, contrasts which do not displease are blended with aspects highly characteristic of the two countries. I see England in your busy marts and thriving manufactories — in your substantial structures—in your permanent enclosures—in the beautiful cottage homes of your farmers—and in the villas of your merchant princes. I see her in your love of shade trees and flowers which droop over your highways and are festooned around your city mansions. I see in her the neat ness and thrift which everywhere prevail—in your free Press—in your free Parliaments—in your love of education—and in your reverence for the Bible. Why then should you not love your mother country ? Why should not we, men of the North and South, mutually love each other ? We do. We will. We must. Fraternal feelings are a necessity of our natures. I would as soon shoot a Russian as a dog, if I met him in open conflict. But to slay an American would seem like committing a great crime—like fratricide or murder. There can be no lawful war between us. No war that is not opposed to the higher laws which spring from our common history, and govern our mental and moral organizations. We have, it is true, been politically divided for three-fourths of a century. But what is that to the two thousand years during which our blood, our laws, our fortunes were the same ? We were the same people from Rannymede to 1688. Your ancestors and mine wrung from tyrannic kings and corrupt ministers the great charters which, preserved the liberties of the world, under which you were trained for independence—in which may be discovered the spirit of the Declara tion you have read to-day. Our fathers carried the Red Cross Banner at the Crusades, flaunted their White and Red Roses in each other's faces at the civil wars, and at Aginegart, Cressy, and Foie tiers, bent their bows and wielded their battle-axes for the honour and to the eternal glory of " our mother country." In the struggles of the Reforma tion, and in the later civil wars, you had your share. At Homilies and Oudenard, and at Quebec, our ancestors fought side by side. ?Marlborough and Wolfe are yours. Shakspcare, and Milton, and Spencer arc yours. Russell, and Hampden, and even Chgt!iam ai.e yom.s. We have a common lot and part in all the great names that emblazon a m comon history, and have enriched a literatiare that we cannot divide. Shall it be said, then, that be cause an old fool like Lord North set us by the ears —that because the bad passions created by that first mad contest involved us in a second civil war, we are to fight again about any trifle, or that there can be any question of such magnitude as to turn back the great stream of our common thoughts, and set us to cutting each other's throats ? God forbid. Shall we fight to test our courage ? It has been tested from Boadicea to Bunker's Hill, from Bun ker's Hill to Waterloo. We know how you can fight. for we have tested your courage, sometimes to our cost. You know how John Bull conducts him self in a fray, and as to our British Americans, though lovers of peace, a bracing climate gives vigour to the frame, and you can hardly see a boy in the British Provinces who, if there be reason good, would not as soon fight as cat his breakfast. But why should we ? Such scenes as I have wit nesssed to-day assures me that we never shall. Such scenes as this arc our best diplomacy. Let them ever abound, and let us carry our trumpets as the firemen did theirs this morning—ever filled with flowers. Not the least gratifying part of the proceedings of this day has been to me the oratorical displays, with which I have been charmed. The Chinese have their Feast of Lanterns. But you hang out your intellectual lights, which would be too dazzling, but for the art and the courtesy with which their radiance is subdued. Before I sit down, sir, permit me to thank you for the great kindness extended to me on this occasion. Webster has departed from the scene of his great labours. Everett and Choate it has been my high privilege to hear to-day, in the meridian splendour of their reputations. lam pleased, however, to see, sir, in the chair of this assembly, so able a representative of the rising race of orators and statesmen by whom the destinies of this great country will here after be controlled, and if in accordance with the order of proceedings, I beg to propose your health. STATE OF TRADE. LEEDS, SEPT. 28. The cloth-halls have been moderately well at tended by buyers this morning. The tone of the market was quite firm and cheerful, and about an average amount of business was done for Tuesday's market. Mantle cloths and other light fabrics have been in most request. There is no quotable change in the price of either wools or cloths. MANCHESTER, SEPT. 28. A quieter feeling has pervaded the market, but prices have been firm, except in a few cases where spinners have been coming out of orders and are anxious to secure new contracts. In these cases buyers have benefited to the extent of per lb. This does not apply to coarse yarns, for which spinners have heavy contracts, and are disinclined to give way. Double yarns and fine wrappers are in as great request as ever, and very firm in price. In cloths the market has been heavy, especially for shirtings and other goods suited to the India mar ket, and parties obliged to sell would have to take 3d. per piece less than the rates of Tuesday last. The absence of the India mail at a period when heavy transactions have been entered into is creating anxiety, and though many commercial men anti cipate good advises by their next letters, there is an unwillingness to enter upon new transactions before they come. In domestics, long cloths, T cloths anit prmters for h ome t ra d e icre is no quotable difference in prices, hut the whole tone of the market is quieter. Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report : " India and China goods of all descriptions have been much neglected throughout the week. To day buyers still hold back as much as possible, and the few sales of 40-inch shirtings which have been made have been at a decline of about 3d per piece on the extreme rates asked a week or ten days ago, but at which very little business was done. For other kinds the demand generally is of a less active character, but F o far there is no giving way in prices." Messrs. George Fraser, Son, and Co. report The tameness which we noticed last week in the demand has subsequently become daily more marked, and now affects yarns as well as goods. To-day's market has been decidedly flat, and prices are in many instances somewhat lower." The portrait of his Royal Highness the Prince Consort, painted by Mr. Philip, was placed in the Aberdeen Town Hall on Friday afternoon. - The li'kenes's is said to be admirable. His Royal Highness is represented in the Highland garb. 119 10 11 10 12 49 - 29 90 25_521 40k 1221 52 1231 521 Oporto Rio Janeiro 6O days st. .. • . New York — • • .. E.I. Co's bls.

MR. TOWNSEND PERFORMING TO HIS CONSTI TUENTS.—Last evening the Woolwich Theatre was crowded by an audience consisting of a large number of the consti tuents of Mr. Townsend, M.P. for Greenwich, who were attracted by the announcement that he would personate the character of Richard the Third. Mr. Townsend was re ceived with much applause. PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and the short exchange on London is 25-171 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the Eng lish Mint price of £3 17s. 10:1-d per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is at about the same price in London and Paris. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 427/ per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13-7 f per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the English Mint price is therefore nearly 5-10ths per cent. dearer in London than Hamburg.in The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 1091 to 109 A per cent., which when compared with the Mint par between the two countries, shows that the exchange is slightly in favour of England ; and, after making allowance for charges of trans port and difference of interest, the present rate leaves a small profit on the importation of gold from the United States. BREAKING INTO PRISON.—On Friday morning last the prison of Edinburgh, situated on the Calton-hill, was broken into, as is supposed, by some of its former in mates, for the purpose of plunder. The wall had evidently been scaled from the Regent-road, and the door of the governor's office, on the left of the entranee-gate, opened by a picklock. On the clerks coming to the office on Friday morning they found not only that forcible entrance had been made to the premises, but that the place had been ran sacked, and a desk broken open, from which about £2O in notes and gold had been abstracted. The burglary had been managed with considerable adroitness, but two of the city detectives were nevertheless able to make out some traces, and the same evening they apprehended two persons whom they had reason to suspect as being the perpetrators. One of these was Robert Campbell, who had only completed his period of imprisonment for housebreaking on the 18th inst., and the other James M‘Gowan, who had for some time been one of the prison warders, and had only left his situation a fortnight ago. The prisoners were on Monday remitted by the _police magistrates for examination. THE NEW SHERIFFS.—Mr. Alderman Hale and Mr. Condor, deputy of Walbrook ward, who have been elected to discharge the responsible duties of sheriffs of London and sheriff of Middlesex, inaugurated their new semi-civic reign yesterday morning by a "breakfast" at Tallow-chandlers' Hall. Congratulatory and complimentary addresses having been delivered, the Lord Mayor and alder men proceeded to the Guildhall, where the oaths were ad ministered first to the senior sheriff (Alderman Hale), and then to Mr. Condor, the junior sheriff. Both these gentle men are sheriffs for London, and the two of them in their corporate capacity (as the two single gentlemen rolled into one) are "the sheriff for Middlesex." A very mistaken notion seems to have prevailed in civic minds upon this point, the general impression being that the two sheriffs were sheriffs for London, the senior sheriff being sheriff for Middlesex. Mr. T. Jones, of King's Arms-yard, and Mr. Surr, the senior and junior under sheriffs respectively, were admitted to a subscription of the usual oaths. The proceed ings were of little more than a formal nature, and at their conclusion the Lord Mayor and aldermen, with the officials, retired to their council chamber, where the new sheriffs were inducted to their seats. THE FIRE ON THE LONDON AND NORTH -WESTERN RAILWAY. - At the New-street station of the London and North-Western Railway, in Birmingham, the average num ber of trains per day passing through amounts to no fewer than 159. Since the destruction by fire of Baswick-bridge, on the Trent Valley line, that number has been augmented by the addition of not less than 50 trains per day; the Liver pool and Manchester traffic, which usually passed over the Trent Valley having, in consequence of the accident, to pass over the Stour Valley line, and so through the Birmingham Central Station. Increased vigilance on the part of the officials has of course been necessary, but not the slightest stoppage has been occasioned.—Bironingham Journal. A WONDERFUL WOMAN.—There is now living at Leirboll, in Kildonan Strath, a woman who may well be regarded as a living wonder. Her name is Widow Wm. Sunderland, and she has reached the great age of 104 years. What is still more remarkable, she continues to enjoy the most wonderful health and use of her faculties, can narrate circumstances that transpired 96 years ago, and in appear ance more resembles a woman of the age of 6.5 years than one exceeding 100. About a fortnight ago she was for two days engaged with the reapers in cutting the crop of Mr. 31Kay, Old Glebe, Kildonan. She is as straight as a young girl, is very spirited, and her lively, dark-brown eye and in telligent countenance cannot fail to astonish all who see her. She travels to Hehusdale, a distance of 13 miles, almost every quarter, and feels little exhausted.—.
