They remained on board till Mon day, and at about half-past 2 p.m. a telegram was received from London requesting the messenger to depart imme diately for Gravesend, where two gentlemen woule meet him and accompany him to Deal, as it was ascertained the debtor had left for New Zealand in the Morning Star. Other warrants having been obtained, the messenger started from Bristol by the afternoon express at 2.55, reached Paddington at 6.5, and Gravesend at 8.30 pan. He was there hailed by the gentlemen in waiting for him, and they started at once for Canterbury, and thence posted to Deal, where they arrived at 2 a.m. At 7.15 the Morning Star was signalled coming round the North Foreland. The messenger at once engaged a four -oared cutter, and boarded the ship at 8 p.m. He had a hurried interview with the debtor, and explained to him that unless he paid the amount endorsed upon his warrant he would have to quit the ship and return to England. The money -was produced and paid, and the messenger reached London and handed it over to the attorney of the creditor at 3 p.m. The messenger by whom this feat was performed is au active youth in his 71st year, and he has the characteristic name of Sharp. FIRE AND Loss OF LlFE.—Yesterday m orn i ng , at the quiet hour approaching threeo'cloek, t f he in r h om abi t t h en ei t r e of the Liverpool-road, Islington, were aroused slumbers by a cry of " Fire I" In the co urse of a few minutes it was found that the premises belonging t o J . Druce, coffeeshop-keeper, No. 8, Nowe ll ' s-buildi ngs , were on fire. At that time seven or eight persons were asleep in the building By great exertions on the p art of the police they were, With the exception of one poor fellow, made sen sible of their impending danger, but even then they were unable to effect their escape, owing to the violence of the flames. The Royal Society's fire escape and engines were at once sen t f or , b u t b e f ore th e y had time to arrive a ladder was procured from the toll-house, and the whole of the occupants except one were safely rescued, though nearly .stifled w ith th e h ea t e d smoke. The escapes and the engine s of the London brigade, with that of the parish , ar rived as early as p oss ibl e and a bountiful supply of wa ter having been procured, all' hands went to work in an admir able manner, but in spite of their exertions they were lin able to get the flames extinguished until the premises were nearly consumed. As soon as the buildings were safely cooled for any one to enter, the fire-escape man and his in spector (Mr. Baddeley) entered the shell of the building, and there found a man, aged 41 years, named Alfred Ed monds burnt to death. He was at once placed in a shell, and removed to the dead-house, to remain therein until a coroner's inquest can be held. The cause of the catastrophe Is at present unknown, but it is only right to state that the Owner of the house was not insured, therefore there is every reason to believe that the fire was purely accidental. 103 105 20i 4 , "4 99 5 101 114 116 107 110 110 112 109 111 123 125 81 83 112 114 90 32 1 79 80 103 105 120 122 115 120 1109 112 104 108 84 86 oi 1100 97 99 99 101 89 91 90 92 101 103 91 101 17 18 14 11 75 77 20 204 10 - 10 15 15 137 139 101 10 stock stock stock 8f stock 115 117 115 117 138 143 115 117 102 104 152 156 130 134 68 70 85 83 stock stock 10s, 10 1.0.6 117 119 1524 1574 stock stock stock stock stock stock stock 10 10 12 12 12j 121 ' 126 128 I fPI 69 7i 13 100 100 100 all all Ann., 1.0.6) Do. 4t per cent.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A GANG OP UTTERERS.—John Smith, Louisa Green, and Ellen Stephenson, were charged with uttering coun terfeit coin, and being in possession of other counterfeit money, Silas Harris, barman at the Falcon public-house, Princes-street, Leicester-square, said that the previous night about half-past nine the two females came in, and Stephenson having called for some shrub, with which he served her, tendered in payment a shilling, which he put in the till. Being spoken to a moment afterwal ds he looked into the till and found a counterfeit shilling, and then went after the prisoners wit h the person who had spoken to him. On overtaking them, the male prisoner having joined the females, the pet son who was with him pointed them out as the same he had seen together; and on taxing them with having uttered a counterfeit shilling, and their denying it, he gave them into custody. Sergeant Oliver, 294 A, said he took the whole of the prisoners into custody, and found on the male prisoner four counterfeit florins and one counterfeit shilling, the latter being from the same mould as the one tendered to the bar man. The person who was not in attendance to-day said he had seen the male prisoner with the females before they went into the house. Mr. Beadon said the prisoners would be remanded til: Thursday next for the attendance of the Mint Solicitor. THAMES. THIS DAY'S MARKETS.' COVENT GARDEN.

The drivers and guards were in continual fear, and many of them had been hurt. He was on the look-out in and near the East India-road, Poplar, and saw the prisoner and two other boys throwing stones at each other. The prisoner threw a stone with great force at a boy, and then hurled another at a goods train approaching the bridge in Susannah-street, Poplar, and as the train passed under the bridge flung a third stone at the carriages. He then took the prisoner into custody. The witness then put in a printed broadside, announcing that Mr. Corrie, of the Clerkenwell Police-court, had sentenced boys to one month's imprisonment and hard labour for throwing stones on the North-London line, at and near Highbury and Islington. The placards had been posted in all directions, and were headed in large letters, " Caution, Stone throwing." Mr. Corrie had announced that in future he would commit offenders for trial.

You see what Mr. Corrie is doing at the other end of the line, and I am afraid I shall have to adopt the same course. It is a most reprehensible, mischievous, foolish thing to be throwing stones at all, and I must see what can be done to put a atop it. I fine the prisoner 10s.

This week three instances of accidental poisoning are recorded, all of which were within an ace of producing death, and all of which might have been prevented by the adoption by the respective dis pensing druggists of a very simple precaution, to which we have already more than once directed attention. "An Hospital Surgeon" writes that his patient receiving two bottles of medicine from a 'first-rate dispensing establishment, one containing solution of iodide of potassium, and the other a solution of atropine, duly labelled " poison," and "for external use," swallowed hurriedly and by mistake, a dose of the poisonous solution of atro pine, and narrowly escaped death. No doubt this was very careless on the part of the patient ; but it is a species of care lessness which is not very uncommon, and for which death or painful illness is a very severe penalty. It is the same kind of error by which the Hon. Mrs. Anson lost her life, and by which we lately recorded that M. Danergwald, Minister of State, Berlin, nearly perished. It might be easily remedied, and the danger averted, by the use of the narrow-necked bottles which we lately described. Had this gentleman, in pouring out his medicine, found that it would not flow freely, but fell drop by drop, he would have been instantly aware that it was a potent solution which he was handling. Had he, in grasping the bottle, felt that he was seiz ing a deeply-fluted, angular phial, he would have been aware that he was pouring out a lotion for ex ternal use, and not a mixture to be swallowed. ,Again, the Vicar of Clare, asking in a Welsh town for a rhubard draught, was served in error with tinc ture of opium, and only discovered the mistake after swallowing the poisonous draught, and just in time for the successful application of antidotes. Here again the medicine was duly labelled. It is impossible, we think, to exaggerate the ad vantage of the contracted neck as a r rotectian from poisoning by mistake on the part of the pa tient or attendant, and these three recent cases only afford a new illustration of a proposition which might be considered self-evident, and sure to carry conviction to the minds of all who preside over dispensing establishments; but the fine of habit and the reluctance to change have hitherto over powered the strong arguments by which this inno vation is recommended; and as yet we are not aware that any other dispensing chemists have adopted the new bottles besides Messrs. Savory and Moore, by whom they were introduced. The third case of accidental poisoning indicates the necessity of using the same kind of bottles for storing medicine. A gentleman, seeking an ap petising draught before dining at the Star and Garter, enters a chemist's shop at Richmond, and is there supplied with a Mixture which speedily renders him senseless, and from the effects of which active medical assistance is able only tardily to re store him. This accident belongs to the same class of errors as that which caused the self-in flicted death of Mr. Dawson, who drank tincture of aconite for tincture of orange-peel, in a draught which he prep Ind for himself when suffering from a slight headache. The same error was the cause of the fatal substitution of a narcotic draught for an ape rient at the shop of Mr. Reeve, at Canterbury. It caused lately a death at Brompton ; it permitted the substitution of " pulv. opii 'Pure.," for " pulv. rhea Turc.," in a fatal case which was recorded in our columns last year; and it has been the cause of deaths and accidents out of number, many of which have not been recorded, or are forgotten. By the adoption of these bottles, which dis charge their contents only gradually,—guttatim et gradatim,—one great source of accidental poison ing will be cut oft. Purists may urge that pre cautions intended to supersede the necessity for in telligent care and conscientious observation of the labels on the part of patient and dispenser, are themselves a source of danger. It may be an swered that this necessity can never be superseded. But the advantage of adding the unmistakeable indicia afforded by peculiarity of shape and mode of pouring in all bottles containing potent powders and fluids to the existing safeguard of a properly devised label, can hardly be said to admit of discus sion. This is a precaution which all dispensing druggists owe it to their character and their con science forthwith to adopt; it is one of which medical practitioners and the public are in terested in enforcing the observance. It helps no physician's reputation that a patient should be poisoned by his prescription, even though it be in error. It concerns him greatly that the health of his patient shall be in no avoidable way injured. The public have a yet more direct in terest in requiring all possible guarantees that they shall be saved from being accidentally poisoned by their own inadvertencies, or, yet worse, by the carelessness of a chemist's assistant, and the neglect of his master to provide the best kind of bottles for storing and issuing his medicines. It remains only to add, that these bottles are stated to be in no de gree more costly or difficult to procure than those in ordinary use, and thus to furnish that which may certainly be the lowest argument in favour of this means of security, but which may, perhaps, never theless be considered the necessary basis of all ad vocacy of its adoption.—Lancet. The following communication has been addressed to the Bank of England, ordering the deduction of Indian income-tax from the native securities held on this side. It created some surprise, although the evasive answers given to every recent inquiry in Parliament on the subject had left the public in some uncertainty on the point. Indian and English income-tax will now be charged on the same stock, that is to say, from the dividends henceforth to be paid the Bank will deduct 8 per cent. It seems impossible, however, that this practice can be maintained, and an im pression, moreover, prevails that if it is brought before the law courts it will be pronounced illegal Gentlemen, — I am directed by the Secretary of State for India in Council to acquaint you that information has been received from India that the Income-tax Act has been passed by the Legislature there, and, in accordance with the provisions of the said act, I am to request that you wi 1 give directions for the deduction of 4 per cent, income-tax on all interest due on and after the 31st of August last, in respect of pro missory-notes endorsed Interest subject to the deduction of income-tax ; and also in respect of stock created by the registration of promissory -notes which have been so endorsed. I have the honour to be, gentlemen, your obedient servant, J. C. MELVILL. India-office, Sept. 6." NEWPORT.

M. Ferdinand de Lesseps has written the follow ing letter, dated Paris, August 31, in reply to the recent remark , of Lord Palmerston on the Isthmus of Suez Canal project :—" His lordship's allegations refer o three orders of facts perfectly distinct, but to which he has given a connexion which does not exist. First, Lord Palmerston declared thst a cer tain number of shares were set down to the Vice roy of Egypt without his Highness's knowledge or consent. That affirmation is erroneous in every respect. To prove this it will be sufficient to recall the terms of the report which I presented at the general meeting of the shareholders on the 15th I of May. After having stated all the facts rela tive to the transaction, I said,—‘ We came to an understanding with the Viceroy that he should take definitively to his account the shares reserved to foreign bankers who from circumstances had been prevented from fulfilling their engage ments. Not only did the announcement of that fact not draw forth any objection from the Government of his Highness, but during the stay I recently made in Egypt the convention on this subject be tween his Highness and myself was sanctioned by an act of the Egyptian Government. Secondly, Lord Palmerston has pretended that the works already executed demonstrate the impossibility of making the canal without an expense of money and time which no company can support. It is the contrary which is the truth. The experience we have already obtained does not permit a doubt to be entertained that the maritime canal of Suez will be opened to navigation within a period much shorter and at an expense much less considerable than the International Commission of Engineers had estimated. I maintain on this point all the explanations which I gave in nay report to the general meeting, All the hopes I then expresed have received fresh confirmation from the works which have since been executed. Thirdly, Lord Palmerston has' endeavoured to represent the loan which his Highness has just con cluded with a notable and honourable financier of Paris as having been rendered necessary by his sub scription to the enterprise of the Suez Canal. This is not the case. The finances of Egypt are most prosperous, and the revenue of the State for a single year greatly exceeds the amount of the whole debt. By means of the loan which his Highness has ob tained on such advantageous conditions as prove ' the confidence of capitalists, the Viceroy proposes to pay off completely the present debt, which bears a much more onerous interest than that of the loan just contracted. His Government has, therefore, purely and simply effected a good operation, which, in the space of a very few years, will contribute to place the financial situation of the country in equili- brium. Such is a sincere and perfectly correct ac count of the situation of our enterprise, which never presented better guarantees of success. The lan guage of Lord Palmerston will not surprise those who know the inveterate malevolence of his lordship to the company of the Suez Canal. For my part, I should never have thought it worth while to point out his lordship's erroneous allegations, were it not that the Board of Directors had seen in them an in tention to injure the credit of the company, and had considered it a duty to have a reply given." THE OYSrzn FISREBY. We are happy to be able to congratulate our hardy fishermen on the opening prospects of the oyster fishery, which commenced on Saturday, the Ist inst.—also on the improved condition and in creased number of the boats, mostly of an enlarged size and better materials for the fishery. The take on Saturday ranged from 13,000 to 30,000 of oysters on a boat—the size in general not large, but the quality good, and the wholesale price for exportation from ss. to 7s. 6d. per thousand. On Monday the take was good, and the price fell to 4s. to ss. 6d. per thou sand. Among the many important advantages which a kind and all-wise Providence has conferred on Wexford, at the entrance, and for miles to the north ward of the haroour, a mine of submarine wealth has been placed, which neither the rapacity of man nor his neglect of paying fostering attention to it any way for a vast number of years, can destroy. The position of Wexford, in a geographical view, is pre eminently the most commanding for the Irish chan nel trade, foreign or domestic, and for intercom munication between Ireland and England ; it also possess other resources of vast importance. In early days its advantages were known and made available, and the rude Scandinavian invaders of Ireland were not slow to avail themselves of all it presented to them. We are not able historically to state that the Danes were induced hither by the luscious oyster, and the abundance of them here supplied, but there is no reason to think that it was not a " native" before the invader from any land disturbed the waters of Wexford Bay by his bold and adventurous keel. From the days of our grand fathers to those of our fathers, Wexford abounded in oysters, and it was a regular rule with our local gentry to send their market cars into Wexford for so many hundreds (120) of oysters, and so many pair of widgeon, or winyard, or even of barnacle (which Soyer himself has pronouncd to be incom parable), giving the market man ls. for the pur chase of each named luxury. When the war of the French Revolution, protracted by the ambition of the First Napoleon, came to an end, the fame of Wexford for abundance and cheapness of what elsewhere were considered luxurious was notorious, and the brave men who had taken part in the warfare became residents in Wexford. But peace produced its changes as well as war had, and steam came to create greater changes than the bayonet and gunpowder had done ; and the sur plus luxuries of Wexford found a better market and a readier conveyance elsewhere. Want of protec tion and the uncontrolled encroachment of strangers at length reduced the produce of the beds so low that the fishery was all but abandoned, a few old men alone manning the fast-decreasing boats, the young men engaging in the increasing merchant vessels of the port. The general fishery also fell off to the lowest condition, and the business was merely nominal, when the law of fisheries became more operative, and its provisions more strictly enforced, and from it the best results have followed, although at first it was considered unjust and cruel. Under protection, or a strict prohibition of oyster dredging from the first day of May until the first day of September in each year, the increased advantages have been immense—indeed, incalculable. Boats now bring in daily loads ever before dreamt of; a ready ex port and home demand is created and kept up ; and by the steamers to Dublin, Liverpool, and Bristol, we are safe in stating that last year over one hun dred and fifty tons of oysters left our port weekly during the open season, independent of home us• and of the quantities that went by land carriage in- wards. Vast quantities of all sizes were bought up by purchasers from the east coast of England, the small to be laid down at Grimsby and other places, so that the oysters spat which whilom formed its shell. on the Wexford beds is now fattening in the waters of the German Ocean to please the palates of London aldermen andrich gourmands.— Wexford Independent.

GARIBAL T AND NAPLES.—Th e cry at Naples w hilst then© lines are being c ommitted to paper is still of the proximate ~ . ~_ arm at of uaribaldi, a t th e h ea d o f the revo lution. Before they are published there will probably be an and o f the dynasty of th e N eapolitan Bourbons. Every one is falling off from the Ring. He has no longer even the lazzaroni of the Neapolitan quays, or any considerable body of foreign mercenaries on whom he may rely in the hour of his need. Empire has literally passed from the hands of Francis 11. Ile is now but titular sovereign of Jerusalem. Domestic conspiracy has been added to the miseries and mislortunes of the last days of the Bourbons in Naples. Th Prince Luigi, than whom a man more contemptible could be found with difficulty, even upon the bead-roll of emasculated Italian princes, would have succeeded to his inheritance before he was dead. Francis 11. overcame that difficulty, but he cannot overcome the greater difficulty of Italy in arms and Garibaldi at its head.—Once a Week. PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and the short exchange on London is 25.15 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about 1-10th per cent, dearer in Paris than in:London. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 425 k per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13.4 f per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the English Mint price is therefore about 3-10ths per cent. dearer in Hamburg than in London. The course of ex change at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 110 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 allow ance for charges of transport and difference of interest, the present rate leaves a small profit on the importation of gold from the United States. " A fact of great importance to the turf," says the Sport, "has just been officially announced, namely, that Count F. de Lagrange and Baron Niviere have entered into partnership. The two stables of Royal-Lieu and La Morlaye will nevertheless be kept on separately for some time to come." In consequence of the demand for lads for the naval service, an additional number will be enter ed w eekly on the books of the Fisgard llag.ship. A number o seamen are now required for vessels fitting out. THE NA Tl'. Her Majesty's ship Osborne, Master Commander Bower, arrived at Milford Haven from Queenstown on Thursday morning last, having on board his Grace the Duke of Somerset, Rear-Admiral the Hon. F. T. Pelham, C. 8., Capt. Charles Eden, C. 8., and Mr. Whitbread, M.P., the Lords of the Admiralty, on their annual tour of inspection of her Majesty's dockyards. The Immortalite, 51, screw, at Portsmouth, tested her speed yesterday at the measured mile in Stokes Bay at half power. The ship, as on her former trial at full power, was iu charge of Capt. G. T. Gordon, commanding the steam reserve. She steamed out of harbour at 12.15 p.m. Shortly after clearing the harbour channel one of the men em ployed in the engine-room, on the staff of the con tractors, met with an accident, which, though serious itself, might, but for the help promptly rendered him, have ended fatally. The man in question, whose name is Robert Philips, was en gaged in oiling portions of the machinery, when his fo o t s li ppe d f rom the framework of the engine and was jammed by the crank as it came over between the piston rod and glands. Mr. Warr( ner, who had charge of the engines, was not aware of anything having occurred ; but observing the poor fellows head fallin g back called out to the engineer of the vessel and a gentleman belonging to the steam factory, who were most fortunately standing close to him at the time, to c a t c h h o ld of him,_ thinking he had lost nis pr esence of mind. Both the gentlemen laid bold of him as he was in the act of falling amid the mass of moving machinery. On lifting him over the rail it was then noti ce d that his left foot was injured, and that he must have swooned in consequence. A moment' s delay on the part of the two gentlemen who were so pro videntially at hand to rescue him and he must have been dashed to pieces by the ponderous machinery. A quarter-boat was instantly lowered, in which the sufferer was placed and conveyed to the Royal Naval Hospital at Haslar. On the return of the frigate to the harbour the boat re turned on board, and brought the gratifying news that the foot was not injured so much as had been anticipated, and that the surgeons had hopes of not having to resort to amputation. Four runs were made, the mean of which gave the ship a speed in knots of 10.945, or nearly 1/ knots. Revolutions of engines, 461; pressure of steam, 201 b; vacuum, 25. The ship sat much better on the water yester day than during her trial at full speed on Wednes day, and showed none of that inclination to depress her bows in the water which was so strongly indi cated on that occasion. The vibration on board was very trifling; in fact, except standing in close vicinity to the screw well, the screw could be heard at work, but not felt. On the Mersey's first trial it was a difficult matter to speak close to the screw well, from the excessive vibration. A temporary roof is now being erected over a portion of the fourth dock at Chatham, occupied by the 51 gun frigate Arethusa, which is undergoing the process of conversion from a sailing ship to a screw steamer, in order to protect the machinery with which she is being fitted from the weather. This fine frigate as well as the line-of-battle ship Bombay, 91, which is undergoing a similar process in the adjoining dock, is very nearly completed and will shortly be out of the hands of the ship wrights. A portion of the roof over the first dock has been removed in order that the contractors may proceed with making the new entrance to the dock. The Trusty, 14, 150-horse power, the third of the iron cased steam floating batteries ordered to be re paired at Chatham Dockyard, has been hauled into the second dock at that establishment, where she is now undergoing the necessary survey preparatory to thew ork of reparation being commenced. From an examination of her plates and timbers which has been made by the dockyard officials it has been ascertained that a considerable amount of in jury has accrued to the hull from the ravages of the destructive marine worm which, notwithstand ing the great thickness of the iron sheath ing by which it was thought the hull would be pro tected, has penetrated into the timbers to such an extent that unless the progress of the decay thus caused can be promptly checked the most extensive repairs to the hull will be absolutely necessary. The whole of the exterior iron sheathing of the hull will accordingly be removed preparatory to a thick coat ing of Peacock's composition being applied, this substance being the best known antidote to arrest the ravages of the destructive marine insect. As soon as the whole of the battery's hull below the water-line has been thus paid over, additional iron sheathing will be applied to the bottom, by which any further decay will, for a time at least, be arrested. The upper plates and timbers of the bat tery are found to be in sound condition, notwith standing the severe shaking she experienced during the experiments madeupon her with the Armstrong guns. _ The victualling transport Mary has arrived at Chatham from Deptford with stores for the dock yard. Captain C. F. Schomberg, superintendent of the steam reserve in the Medway, arrived at Chatham dockyard on Thursday afternoon in the Thrasher, at gun vessel, for the purpose of visiting the estab lishment. After going over the various depart ments of the dockyard Captain Schomberg re embarked on board the Thrasher, and returned to his guardship, the Cumberland, 70. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :—Lieut. Henry St. L. B. Palliser, to the Landrail ; Lieut. Thomas M. Camp bell, to the Castor; F. J. P. Shapcote, assist-pay master, as secretary's clerk, to the Impregnable; Alexander Napier Miller, acting third-class assist.- engineer, to the Fisgard for service in the Vivid ; James Dobson and John C.

THE ABODE OF DEATH. The officers of health in various metropolitan parishes have more than once urged the necessity for establishing local mortuaries for the temporary reception of the bodies of those who have fallen victims to disease, especially of a con tagious nature, and which remain under existing circumstances sources of infection and of horror in the crowded rooms of the living,—often awaiting burial during many days in a room filled with human beings, of whom some are not unfrequently already stricken with illness. Such a case, by no means a very exaggerated or unusually painful ex ample, presented itself this week before the notice of Mr. Paynter, one of the metropolitan magis trates, who acknowledged the difficulty, the danger, and the horror, but could in no way apply a remedy. A poor woman solicited his advice, stating that at nine o'clock on Monday night a child of hers died of cholera, ever since which it had bean lying la the same room in which her husband,herself,amad two other children were living. The parish had refused to bury it, and told her to do so onSti a t all with her husband's wages ; but if she did that hat to do. of them must starve, and she knew not What case, Mr. Paynter said " it was a very Oa°' as a pestilence might arise andbesides It every one in the house, and others one's duty to was very strange, but it bers destructive to c whether the parish bury the body, and he dousbeteerg If it was anyone's could be compelled to do IT he could not p i all she could do would ut c o o w l n e r duty, it surely was theirs, He had no pel the parish to bury whatever to assist her, and be to consult the c • ~ Poor-law omnussioners.
