THE NEW COMET. —A writer in a contemporary says The comet was again visible on Friday night be- 'l l twe en 9 and 10 o'clock, shining brightly in the north-north west. Why is it that, with our many observatories and our st astronomers'con.stantly on the look. out, not one of them st , has yet vouchsafed to the public any account of this new visitor ? Is it approaching the sun or reieding from it ? Will it grow brighter or fade shortly from view ? Is it the comet of Charles V. or sev eral ew one ? In conclusion, he says —Mr. Hind calculated years ago that the comet of Charles V. would return to its perihelion on the 2,1 of August, 1858, and Professor Bomme of Middleburgh, that this would not take place till the 22d of August, 1860. T H E REVIEW IN HYDE-PARIL— the hurry of pre - The Army and Navy Gazette of Satur da y says that in paring the returns the numbers of the volunteers reviewed by her Majesty were mis-stated, and that the total, Instead of being only a little above 18,000, was within a fraction of 21,000. The aggregate was, acco' ding to the same autho rity, made up as follows :—First Division.—Mounted, 143; Honourable Artillery Company's Engineers and Volunteer Guards, 666, Artillery Brigade, 1,250 ; lst Brigade, 2,722 ; 2d ditto, 2,517; ad ditto, 2,624; 4th ditto, 2,127. Second Division.—lst Brigade, 2,407 ; 2d ditto, 2,568 ; 3d ditto, 2,380 ; 4th ditto, 1,486. Thus there was a grand total of 20,890. How MILK IS ADULTERATED.—A correspondent writes :—" Our milkman being, we suppose, unwell yester day, sent his little girl, five years old, with the afternoon's allowance, when the questionbeing put to her, What does your father put in the milk dear ?' she instantly replied, Only salt and water and a little yellow ochre'—at which piece of information no more milk was drunk that day. PRICE OF FISH IN PARIS.—The price of fish in is enormous. A pair of very small soles, not much larger than flounders, costs 60 sous, or 2.8., and for a mackerel of goo d size and qual it y 2s. is demanded. The Gazette of Northern- Germany says : gg W e have every reason to believe that there is no truth whatever in the telegram pub lished by Reuter in the London journals Stating that the Prince Regent, when at Baden, called the attention of the German Sovereigns to the affairs of Italy." The .Madrid Gazette of the 25th publishes an official account of the birth of the daughter of the Duchess de Montpensier. The infant was at once baptised, and received the name of Maria de las Mercedes, and a great many ethers, and among them" Holy Trinity," and " All the Saints." The Queen and Ring acted as spoissors, and immediately after the ceremony the child was decorated with the royal order of Maria Louisa.

Cakes move off CORN EXCHANGE Nearly the whole of the markets held in the provinces on Saturday were very dull for wheat, atdrooping curren cies. All descriptions of corn were extrenely inactive, and rather lower to purchase. In flour very little was doing. Large quantities of wheat continue to 3hange hands in the continental markets. Prices, howev4r, have shown a drooping tendency. Barley and other articles have ruled somewhat firm in value. In the United states an increased amount of business has been passing generally on English account. The arrivals of home-grown produce it the port of Lon don last week were very limited. From abroad the imports were liberal, viz., 20,381 qrs of wheat, 4,660 barley, 42,157 oats, 40 beans, 125 peas, 3,475 linseed, 3,010 rapeseed, 1,510 maize, 396 sundry seeds, 10,497 sacks and 5,577 barrels of flour. A very moderate supply of home. grown wheat was re ceived fresh up to-day, coastwise and by land carriage. Owing to the favourable state of the weather for the crops, and the liberal importations of foreign wheat and flour, the demand fur English wheat ruled heavy, and all kinds sold at is to 2s per quarter beneath last Monday's currency. The general quality of the samples was very middling. We are tolerably well supplied with foreign wheat. The demand was trifling in the extreme, and to have forced sales lower rates must have been submitted to. Floating cargoes of grain were very dull, and lower to purchase. The few samples of barley on the stand were taken off slowly, at about previous rates. Malt changed hands to a limited extent at late currencies. There was a large quantity of inferior foreign oats on sale ; they were rather cheaper, but good sound parcels were steady. Both beans and peas, though in short supply, were dull, at barely late rates. The flour trade was heavy, and country marks were fully is per 280 lbs. lower in price. CURRENCY PER IMPERTAL MEASURE.

ROLLS COURT. (Before the Master of the Rolls, Sir Joky. Romilly.) JUDGMENT-SEACOMBE V. )IW:4/ARDS. His Honour the Master of the Rolls said—The question in this case is, whether the word " on" or the conjunction " and" is to be construed " or." If " or," the plaintiff takes; if " and," the plaintiff does, not take under the will. The devise is contained in the will of the late John Martin, which directed—" that on the death of one of my brothers, the survivor or his children shall be entitled to his share ; and on the death of one or both of my brothers, his or their share shall fall to my sister and her children." His Honour's opinion, founded on the case of Gray and Pearce, 6, house of Lords' cases, and others, was that, according to the true construc tion of the testator's will, the reading must be taken as "and," and that the plaintiff is not entitled to recover under this bill. It was very desirable to have the point settled, as Vice-Chancellor Sir John Stuart had been of a contrary opinion. His Honour dismissed the bill without costs, and with costs to the trustees of the two parties in the suit. SHERIFFS' COURT. CHOAT V. DOW-PLEA OF INPANCY,--IMPORTINT DECISION. Plaintiff is a tailor, and claimed a sum of money for a waistcoat and pair of trousers supplied to defendant. Defendant's brother-in-law did not dispite the debt, but said that notice had been given of a plea of infancy. He produced the copy of the registration of birth. His Honour—That won't do. How long have you known defendant ? Witness—Ever since he was one month 011. He was born on 14th September, 1842. His Honour—Has he a father living ? Witness—No. His Honour—He is earning his own bread, I suppose Witness —Yes. His Honour—Then these are necessaries. Plaintiff—l may say that I have seen defendant, and he has told me that the person who appeared to-day has had the money, and it is against defendant's wish infancy has been pleaded. Witness—There are eleven joins in the waistcoat. His Honour—l don't care if there are 25, They are quite good enough for an infant. When infants come into the City for necessaries they must pay. Verdict for plaintiff with costs. FEC ULIAR CASE OF MASTER AND SERVANT.-ADTERT3- ING FOR A PARTNER.-MILNER V. TURNER. This was an action to recover £4 125., two week's wages alleged to be due under very singular circumstances : Mr. Abbot, for the plaintiff, said that some time since defendant, who is a tailor, advertised for a manager or partner who could introduce a sum of money into the con cern. Plaintiff answered the advertisement, and an ar rangement was made that he should receive £2 per week. It was soon discovered that plaintiff was in diffi culties, and ho made a composition with his creditors to pay 15s. in the £1 by instalments of three, six, and nine months. Plaintiff was asked to be security for the last instalment, and, after some consideration agreed, upon his salary being raised to £2 Os. per week. The three months' instalment was duly paid, and soon afterwards plaintiff received notice to quit. He, however, considered that he was defendant's servant until the last instalment was paid. Mr. Banks, a respectable accountant in the City, was called for plaintiff, but said that plaintiff was only a weekly servant, subject to a weekly notice. His wages were not raised upon becoming liable, but because he complained that £2 was insufficient. He was liable for £l3B 10s. 9d., having signed a promissory note for that amount. He had not the means to go into partnership, and the creditors could release him. His Honour—Plaintiff's witness puts him out of Court. Mr. Buchanan—l apply for costs, it being an important case. His Honour—You have not given notice. Nonsuit. No costs. POLICE INTELLIGEIVCE-(THIS DAY MARLBOROUGH-STREET. PICKING POCKETS.—Two boys, named Charles Warn. ham and Thomas Brown, were charged as follows : William Gordon, 336 A, said that on Saturday afternoon, ra. e .mt _afrAiat, h. raw the prisoners go up to the pockets of several persons, and among them a lady looking in a shop window. The boy not in custody took from her pocket a purse and passed it to Brown, upon which he (Gordon) went up to them, when they all ran off. He secured the two prisoners, the other escaping. The purse produced was like the one he saw taken by the boy not in custody. SERIOUS ASSAULT ON A BOlL—John Manning, a rough surly boy, was charged with assaulting a boy named Mark Barnett, by cutting him in the eye with a sword. It appears the prisoner was fighting with several other boys with sticks and swords in Grafton-street, Soho, at tacking every boy indiscriminately, when the lad Barnett, who was passing quietly up the street with another boy, received a severe blow in his eye with a sword, cutting his eye very severely, the wound not being free from danger. The prisoner denied giving the blow, but witnesses were called who left little doubt of the fact, and a constable proved seeing the prisoner throw the sword away. Remanded.

I shriek—and Echo answers Eh ? This time last year a chap could eat, At every stall, in any street, Enough to fill a fellow's hat At one blow out—no more of that Fruit—don't you wish that you may got, With all this precious cold and wet ? Wind, thunder, lightning, hail, and rain Oh, when will it be fine again? No gooseberries this blessed year, No currants will get ripe, I fear ; Perhaps no apples, rears, or plums, And I'm at school when Autumn comes. How shall my sorrow find relief P For dinner let us have roast beef, Turkey, plum-pudding, and mince-pie, Whilst a good fire is blazing high. And whilst I hear the cold wind blow, I'll think that snowballs follow snow ; And hoping soon to skate or slide, Take Midsummer for Christmas-tide. THE BELVEDERE COLLECTION OF PICTURES.— The sale of 25 pictures, forming part of the collection at Belvedere, the property of Sir Culling Eardley, took place on Saturday. They brought the astounding sum of £25,887 15s. The celebrated " Immaculate Conception," by Murillo, was knocked down to Mr. Graves for 9,000 guineas, and a fine specimen of Reams realised 7,500 guineas. TILE CALCUTTA AND CFJINA SOUTHAMPTON, MONDAY. Vile Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam ship Ceylon, Captain Evans, with the heavy portion of the Calcutta and China mails, has arrived. She brings 185 passengers ; 6 packages of specie, value £1,347 ; precious stones, 6,200 rupees ; cut diamonds, 800 rupees ; pearls, value 550 rupees ; also 40 cases of gum, 26 casks do,, 140 packages of general merchandise, and 1,421 bales of raw silk, value upwards of £140,000 sterling. The Ceylon sailed from Alexandria on the 18th ; Malta, 22d ; and Gibraltar, the 26th ultimo. At Alexandria there was an Egyptian squadron. At Malta were her Majesty's ships Growler, Caradoe, and Assurance; and the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-ship Alhambra. At Gibraltar, her Majesty's ship Scourge. The Ripon, with the outward mails of the 20th, had arrived at Gibraltar, and sailed for Malta and Alexandria on the 26th. Her Majesty's steam storeship Supply arrived at Gibraltar in six days from Plymouth, and pailed again for the East on the afternoon of the 21st. The . Odessa, Russian steamer, six days from London, reached Gibraltar on the 19th. The cap- ,c.in reported having picked up, off Cape St. Vin- cent, in long, 9 10 W., lat. 37 12 N., on the 18th, a large piece of bowsprit burned at one end, sup posed to appertain to a vessel belonging to some port in the Baltic, on her first voyage, and of about 1,00 10 tons burden. The following British ships had arrived at Gibraltar since previous dates :—Steamer Petro, 8 days from London ; steamer Britannia, 6 days from London ; brig Refuge, 19 days from Liverpool ; schooner Falcon, 40 days from Hull ; steamer Araxes, 51 days from Liverpool ; steamer William France, 81 days from Liverpool ; brig Emporium, 16 days from Liverpool ; steamer Cora Linn, 15 days from Glasgow; and steamer Calpe, 7 days from Liverpool ; steamer Venetian, 6 days from Liver- - The French bark Felice Bernabe was cruising off Europa Point ; and Norwegian bark Haren Elizabeth, at the back of the rock. The east wind set in on the 22d, and nearly all the windbound vessels had taken their departure from the Straits. Among the vessels that left were the French barque Maria, from Marseilles to Singa- pore, and the Russian ship Argo, from Toulon to Hongkong, both laden with coal for the use of the French steamers in the China expedition. The Clamor says that the Moorish Commissioner Uda, appointed to investigate into the attempt against Brigadier Naneti and a captain of the Saragossa regiment, does not suspect the crime to have been perpetrated by any person belonging to the Beni-salem tribe. Nothwithstanding, as the deed was committed in that territory, the Commissioner has punished the Kabyles by burning 11 of their houses, with the whole of the effects and provisions they contained. He moreover took 32 cows from them, and sent to prison 32 individuals, who are undergoing judicial examination. It was reported at Gibraltar that her Majesty's Charge d'Affairs, Mr. Drummond Hay, had been promoted to the rank of Resident Minister at the Court of Morocco, and that Mr. James Drummond Hay had been nominated paid Attaché to the Morocco Legation. Don Jose Merry y Colon, the recently appointed Spanish Chargé d'Affaires and Consul-General to the Court of Morocco, arrived at Tangier on th• 19th in the Vasco Nunez de Babe), accompanied by the steam sloop Leone. On landing Don Jose Merry, after a short interview with the Bashaw, proceeded to the Consular residence, escorted by a Moorish guard of honour. The Gibraltar Chronicle of the 22d says— " We are informed that Mr. Martin Escalante, a British subject, and a native of Gibraltar, has re turned to this city after an imprisonment of up wards of 13 months in Cadiz." Mr. Escalante was arrested in Vejer in May, 859, for having given to various persons copies of he New Testament in the Spanish language, and was brought to trial on the charge of attempting to PhllnCe the religion of Spain. Thl district jaw!, decided that the charge was proved, and sentenced him to nine years' penal servitude. The severity of the sentence, compared with the particular acts charged against Mr. Escalante, excited much as tonishment in England. The subject was brought to the notice of the House of Commons, and many persons doubted whether, since the Inquisition has been abolished in Spain, and that country is now said to enjoy the benefits of constitutional government, such a sentence could be in accordance with her laws. The friends of religious toleration and liberty of conscience will be glad to learn that Escalante's imprisonment is not sanctioned by the Spanish laws, but must be attributed to the ignorance of them on the part of a local judge. On an appeal being made to a superior Court, the Audiencia of Seville, that tribunal has annulled the sentence pronounced by the district judge, and declared Mr. Escalante innocent of the offence with which he was charged, and ordered the costs of the procedure to be de frayed by the Crown. Gibraltar exchanges were quoted—on London, 90 days' date 50; ; Paris, sf. 30c. ; Marseilles and Genoa, sf. 31c. ; Madrid, 8 days' sight. dis. ; Cadiz, par ; Malaga, par ; Seville, dis.; Alicante, dis. ; Valencia, par ; Barcelona, pm. ; Spanish pillard dollars, 3 per cent. pm.—no demand. Freights remained without alteration. The following distinguished persons, among many others, visited the Great Globe lately, in Leicester square :—Duke of Buccleuch's family, Lady Sidney, and party; Lord Elgin's family, Lady Gordon, and party; Lord Alfred Paget's family, Marchioness of Salisbury, Lord Camden's family, the Earl of Seafield, Lord Comber mere's family, Mrs. Bacon, Mrs. Walpole. THE NEW INSOLVENT COMMISSIONER.—Mr. Nichols, the newly .appointed Commissioner, took his seat for the first time, on Saturday, in the room of the late Mr. Commissioner Murphy. The appointment has given gene- ral satisfaction. FATAL FIREWORKS EXPLOSION AT MANCHES TER.—On Saturday morning, about ten o'clock, a terrible explosion of fireworks occurred at the Bellevue Zoological Gardens, situate at Longsight, near Manchester, which has caused the death of two men, and another is not expected to live, ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SHOW, CANTERBURY. — The South-Eastern Railway Company have provided siding accommodation and convenient platforms at the show-yard, so that passengers can be landed on the spot ; they have also erected an office and cloak-room accommodation close by the entrance door to the exhibition, as well as a tele graph-office in the yard. Most of the South-Eastern trains will run from London to the Canterbury station-yard in two hours. SUICIDE.—A gunner belonging to the Coast Brigade of Artillery, named M'Bride, was discovered on Saturday morning at 4 a.m. in one of the invalid wards of the Hospital at Woolwich, with his throat cut in a fright ful manner, the head being almost severed from the body. The unfortunate man had been 16 years in the Royal Artillery, and, as is stated, had been addicted for a long time to habits of intemperance, from the effects of which he was a patient in the infirmary. There is no doubt as to the act having been committed by himself. ELECTION OF ORGANIST AT THE LEEDS TOWN HALL.--After a severe contest for this honourable post, before Messrs. Sohn Goss, George Cooper (London), and W. T. Best (Liverpool), these eminent judges have recom mended Mr. William Spark, of Leeds, as the person best qualified for the situation. There were 22 candidates, who w ere ultimately reduced to seven; and thes e were known to the judges only by an alphabetical letter, previously drawn by the players. The following three were returned in their order of merit : Mr. Wm. Sp ark, Leeds (G) ; Mr. W. Parratt, Huddersfield (E) ; and Mt. Taylor, Gloucester (C). In conjunction with Mr. Henry Smart, of London, Mr. Spark was the designer of the magnificent organ, the I beauties of which he will now be enabled to display. The salary is £2OO per annum. THE OXFORD-STREET TRAGEDY.—After the ver dict had been returned at the inquest on the body of the man Dhereng, at the workhouse in Mount-street, on Fri day, and the reporters and the public had left, several of the jury refused to sign the inquisition, and it appeared that of the 15 members composing the jury only 11 were in fa vour of the verdict as given, while four insisted on a ver dict of felo de se, and it was not until a deliberation and die► cussion of nearly an hour's duration that the verdict was officially recorded as given in the first instance by theofor_ee man. We understand that the wan'on Mang n . i ling Of f Ito hapless female betokened, in the opinion jurymen, far more than the insane act of aofmsod; er and that the consideration evinced by preparing t ur o dispo se of the body piecemeal would have fully justified a verdict of • felo cis se.

We look with something like astonishment on the numerous publications of first-class music which are now constantly appearing, at a fabulously cheap price, and among which those issued from The Musical Bouquet claim prominent attention. We have before us the whole of the divine and en thralling Pianoforte Works of Mozart—perfect in notes, clear in type, and elegant in general appear ance, at a cost which was demanded for one com position some few years since. The refining and elevating tendency of such music must exercise a beneficial influence on all who can become familiar with it, and we prophecy that the excellence of this publication must ensure a sale that will alike ex tend a cultivated love for the noble old masters and a fair remuneration for the enterprising pub lishers. Charles Grobe's powers of " arrangement" are too well appreciated to need eulogy; but we must ad mit that his variations on " Nelly Gray" are more than usually attractive. " Les Echoes de la Loire" erffer an agreeable study for the exhibition of taste and expression, being at the same time very effec tive and "taking." "The Power of Beauty Waltz" and the two Varsovianas are admirably marked, aid are felicitous specimens of Mr. Montgomery's talent as a composer of dance music. With, per haps, a touch of popular prejudice, we are rather inclined to favour " The Rifle Corps Varsoviana," but all three productions are desirable additions to the folio of those who trip it on the " light fantas tic toe." " Wilt Thou be Gone, Love," is a very sweet vocal duet, founded on the tender parting between Romeo and Juliet. The sentiment is de licately and expressively given, and we can ho nestly commend it to all drawing-room vocalists. " What's a' the Steer, Kimmer," is a delicious old Scotch song and chorus, that must set all tongues and hearts merrily going. In the brilliant song, " Catawba Wine,' Dempster has done full justice to LongfelloW's words, The rich, jovial air is cal culated to awaken a genial feeling and kindle a sparkling eye in the most passive of mortals, and we pity the individual who could listen to it un moved. " There Would IBe" is a charming bal lad; the melody flows smoothly with the words, which are by the popular poetess Eliza Cook. Mr. Montgomery has evidently understood the theme, and given a fitting harmony. We think it quite as successful as his beautiful ballad " The Old, Old Story," and predict that it will become a favourite. We again say that the publications now issuing from the Musical Bouquet Office are adapted to advance the art of music and elevate the taste of " the People." • LITERATURE. Peaks, Passes and Glaciers : A Series of Exeur 'sions- by Members of the Alpine Club. Edited by John Ball, M.R.S.A., F.L.S., President of the Alpine Club. Fifth Edition. Longman. It must be a source of great satisfaction to the reading public that this very valuable work should be presented to them in, a cheaper form. It is one of the most interesting books of its kind that has appeared for years, and the fact of its having reached a fifth edition attests the favour of its recep tion, and the universality of its appreciation. Its information is all of the most authentic kind, being given by those who have particularly distinguished themselves for their skill in those mountainous re gions of which it treats. It is said of this present small volume that " It has been frequently suggested by members of the Alpine Club, and other Alpine travellers, that an edition in a portable form suit able for carrying in the knapsack or pocket, -with out the coloured plates, but with the maps, would be a convenient travelling manual for explorers in the higher regions of the Alps." There is some thing particularly fascinating in these sketches of the exploits of the daring travellers. The perils they surmount, tha wonders they achieve, and the sub limity and beauty of the grand scenes of nature that are outspread before them, all combine to blend a degree of romance with the details of reality. The courage and nerve requisite for such attempts bear testimony to the daring and enterprise that have so long animated the English character. This little book is particularly appropriate at the present time when so many will be setting out on their tours ; and to those who stay at home it will impart use ful and agreeable information. It is, therefore, most probable that similar success will attend its appearance as that which greeted its predecessor last year. • Ms Illustrated Horse Doctor. By Edward May hew, M.R.C.V.S. H. Allen and Co. Mr. Mayhew has presented this work to the public under the conviction that it is only the intelligent minority who will alone look upon it with favour. That the unthinking majority who look upon the horse as a machine incapable of feeling or sensibility will consider a man who maintains that humanity is a duty and that it would be an advantage to the public to build hospitals for horses insane. However this may be, Mr. Rarey, now a great authority, is of Mr. Mayhew's opinion, and we have no doubt that this valuable dictionary of the veterinary art will meet with signal success. We have before us a compendious history of all the diseases which horseflesh is heir to, and which man's abuse has bequeathed to it, with direc tions for treatment, and the necessary remedies, likewise the exposure of popular falacies. In entering on the disease called megrims the author makes the following sensible remark : " So little sympathy , exists between man and horse, so little are the ailments of the animal really studied, that the likeness between certain diseases affecting the master and the servant, have not been observed. Megrims, evidently, is a form of epilepsy ; yet, to speak of an epileptic horse would, probably, induce laughter in any society. Notwith standing which man is not isolated in the world ' • he is as sociated with the creatures of the earth, not only by a com mon habitation, but by similar wants and like diseases. Ha is united by nature to every life that breathes. His heart should feel for, and his charity embrace, every animal that serves him. He has his duty towards, and is bound by obli gations to, every creature placed under his control. None are so subject to his will as the horse ; none have such powerful claims to his kindness and forbearance. The noble animal is begotten by man's permission ; its course in lifo depends upon his word : for his service it surrenders every thing. That horses suffer greatly from the ignorance of their riders more than from any intentional cruelty is very certain ; but whatever the cause the effect is the same. A horse sinks exhausted in the field after only a short run ; the rider is thunderstruck. Had he read Mr. Mayhew's book, and taken notice of the warning signal, of which, poor man, he was unaware, and put on the break, the catastrophe would not have been. It is in cases such as these, or where accidents happen in out of the way places, much use ful information is to be gained by the general reader. It is not to be expected that an author who writes with a view to preserving horseflesh from some of the most ruinous abuses, and the public from unne cessary loss, should let the subject of the bearing rein pass without due censure. It is a fact now, however, that this outrage on common sense as well as humanity is confined almost exclusively to the fashionable world ; and although beauty and humanity are sacrificed, what matter the fashion 18 perfect.
