MONEY MARKET AND CITY NE TI'S. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. Business in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets, during the last few days, has been rather less active. Prices, however, have been exceedingly firm, and one or two of the principal staples have shown an upward tendency. Tea continues steady at about former rates. In sugar the dealings are linv_ted, the transactions being in the better kinds 'badly for home consumption, which realised fully late rates. In the Refined Market a considerable amount of business has been transacted at previous quotations. Coffee has been dull, except for the finer descrip tions of plantation Ceylon, which are at full values. Ries and rum have been in fair request, and the former has exhibited a slight improvement. Salt petre has been in increased demand, and a rise of about is. per cwt. may be quoted on most qualities. Tallow has been rather inactive,but prices continue firm ; and for present delivery a slight advance u pon former rates must be paid by purchasers. Letters from Liverpool report that the Cotton Market yesterday presented a very firm appear ance, and prices of all descriptions were' fully sup- Ported. The sales were estimated at 8,000 bales. The Railway Share Market closed quietly, and quo tations tended downwards. , The change i n the condition of the Money Mar ket during the last few days has been rather re niarlcable. A sudden demand for capital sprung up ea rly in the month for the simultaneous payment o f several financial engagements, on account of I Nns, railways, and other j oint-stock enterprises. The rates of discount advanced from 21 to 21 and 3 per ce nt, and the public at once concluded that a per manent re-action had set in, and approved the cau tion of the Bank Directors in not reducing the i V il iflutin. No sooner has the immediate effect of t 7o disbursements passed away, however, t t ,Ut a decline, even more sudden than 'Le previous advance, has occurred, and e l boi ee bills h ave been negotiated within the last 48 k 0 's at 2: I per cent. Meanwhile the exchanges 'are become firmer, the efflux from the Bank has c eased, bullion again accumulates, and the remit tan es of silver to the East have fallen short of the e stimates. The development of these favourable 7olptoms would undoubtedly lead to a renewed di scussion relative to the adoption of a 21 per cent. t eittitnum, but it must be observed that at this sea r]. of the year there are many circumstances Ely to stimula to the inquiry for accommodation Ika nd influenc e th e B an k C our t in their deliberations ' 4o m week to wet Ac. At the f or th com i ng mee ti ng o f the Trust and Loan e nt , °lll Pany of Upper Canada, a dividend at the rate " 7 per cent. per annum will be proposed. Although the q uotations of the English Funds are tolerably well maintained there is still an ab "'lee of business. The public do not purchase to p 4 . 11 Y important es :tent, and the speculators for a se , Who w ere r obably induced to enter into 'their engageme:trits, partly in expectation i k the usual investments being made prior cs t he payment of the dividends, are anxious , ascertain whet'ner their calculations 'in this re !Peet are likely to be verified. Considering the ietkuiniate condition of the market, the quotations a re well s u p por t e d, an d a f ew p urc hases are suffi elent to produce indications of buoyancy. Consols are about 981 ti for money, and 981 y for the ac ee'unt• The :New Threes and Reduced 96,197 ; Long Annuities, 18,4 1; India Stock has been dealt in at 2251 and 227'4 ; the March Exchequer Bills, 4 25. to 38s. prem., being rather firmer. India Loan Debentures are marked 99Z 1. A rather large amount of business is recorded In the Foreign Stock Market and prices are fi rmer.

The t ransact i ons i n th e R a il wa y Share Market have been rather more numerous, but prices have sh (rwn a downward -tendency.

IX RE THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK EXPARTE NICOLL. The Attorney-General was heard for Mr. Nicoll, as to his liability as a shareholder of the bank. The arguments will occupy the whole of this day.' (Before Vice-Chancellor Kindersly.) FALRENER V. TILE EQUITABLE REVERSIONARY INTEREST His Honour the Vice-Chancellor granted a decree for specific performance, with costs, and recommended the par ties to arrange the portion of costs that each was to pay, and insert the amount in the decree. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner Murphy.) IN RE WILLIAM LASLETT, THE ELDER. This case had been adjourned from Friday in order to produce books and additional evidence as to the sale of his business. Mr. Dowso opposed and Mr. R. Martin supported. Mr. Dowse complained that there was an imperfect de scription of the insolvent, inasmuch as he had omitted a place where business was carried on in Kent ; and also described the copartnership, previously referred to, as of Laslett and Son, in place of William Laslett and Son, which had been printed on his bill heads. _ The learned Commissioner declared that it was one of the rivolous and vexatious technical points to which ho was too frequently compelled to yield, but that when the advertisement was completed he would discharge the insol vent on the merits and listen to no further opposition. CITY SHERIFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.) POTTER V. SMITH-HORSE DEALING EXTRAORDINARY. Mr. Buchanan appeared for the \plaintiff, and Mr. Scott for the defendant. This was an action to recover a sum of money for meat supplied and £1 due upon a transaction relative to a grey mare. Defendant pleaded a set-off of butter and cheese, and £4 12s. 6d. due upon a transaction relative to a black colt. There was a great deal of hard swearing in the case, and in reference to the £1 defendant proved that he had paid it for the mare's keep. Plaintiff declared he had promised to pay. As to the colt, it appeared that defendant and a person named Bar nett attended ,a .sale at Newton, and bought a colt for twenty-three and a-half guineas. They charged plaintiff £29 16s. 6d. for it, and he now swore that defendant had nothing to do with it, and that Barnett had told him was the owner of the colt. This Barnett could not deny. Plaintiff likewise said that Smith at;ended the sale and bought the horse for him (plaintiff). This defendant de. ied, and said he never agreed to do so. A witness depdones that he heard Smith say Barnett was the owner of the horse. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CRYSTAL PALACE. Mr. Scott said, upon the evidence as it stood he was entitled to a verdict. Mr. Buchanan intimated that the preponderance of evidence was in his client's favour, but' his Honour decided in favour of defendant. Mr. Scott asked for his cost, and said it was a case calling for a solicitor. _ _ _ His Honour agreed, but said he could not allow costs. TIIE SMOKE PREVENTION COMPANY-FRANCIS V. TILE SMOKE PREVENTION COMPANY. Mr. Buchanan appeared for the plaintiff. This was a claim for commission. It appeared that plaintiff had been the London agent to the company, who agreed to pay him 15 per cent. When ho applied for his commission they discharged him. His Honour thoughtthat was very hard, and gave plain tiff a verdic with full costs. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT (This Dag.) Edward Attwood and John Regan were indicted for burglariously breaking and entering the dwelling -house of a gentleman named Cooke, and stealing therefrom certain valuable articles, his property. Regan pleaded guilty and Attwood not guilty. Mr. W. F. Cooke said—l live at 1, Percy-terrace, West minster. I also occupy the next house, No. 2. On Sun day, the 14th of November, I went to the house, No. 2, and while there I heard a noise, which induced me to return to No. 1. I wont in by a private door from the garden, which I found had been broken open. I went into the back par lour and found the place in disorder, and a quantity of pro perty packed up for removal. I heard a man up stairs and I challenged him to come down. He did so. Regan is the man. He threw something at me and attempted to get away. The back entrances to the house had all been broken open. I only saw one man come down stairs. I cannot say how many persons were in the house. Bartlett, a police-constable, said, on the night in ques tion I saw Attwood come out of No. 1, Percy-terrace. He cried out "'there he goes," and ran away. I pursued him, and whilst I was doing so he kept on threatening me. On coming up to him I took him into custody on suspicion of being concerned in a robbery. Another policeman produced some spoons which dropped from the prisoner Regan when he was taken into custody, which the prosecutor identified as his property. James Ward, the hackney carriage attendant in the Lam beth-road, identified Attwood as the man he stopped running in the Kennington-road. When Attwood was stopped he said we had got the wrong man. William Weale, a cabman, said he stopped the prisoner Regan, and found in his possession the crowbar produced, which corresponded with the marks on the door and win dows of the house No. 1, Percy-terrace. The jury returned a verdict of guilty. A former conviction for burglary was proved against Attwood, when he was sentenced to four years' penal ser vitude in 1854. _ . The Recorder sentenced Regan to 12 months' imprison ment, and Attwood to six years' penal servitude. Daniel Ferris, labourer, aged 21, pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with committing a burglary in the dwelling house of Joseph Weatherley, and stealing there from two tea-pots, a coffee-pot, and several other articles. The Recorder sentenced him to 18 months' imprison ment. Robert Green, labourer, aged 20, pleaded guilty to an indictment charrging him with stealing a clock and glass shade, the property of Mr. Kebble, of Gracechurch-street. He was sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment. NEW COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) THE ALLEGED WHISKY FRAUDS. Edward Thurgood, 38, surgeon, and John Riky, 43, agent, were indicted for unlawfully obtaining 29 gallons of whisky, the property of Charles Cook Christie, with intent to cheat him thereof. The facts of the case have already appeared at consider able length in The Sun while the prisoners were under examination at the Guildhall Police-court. After a very eloquent appeal by Mr Metcalf and Mr. Sleigh, who defended the prisoners, The Common Sergeant summed up the evidence at great length, explaining the law as it affected the offence with which the prisoners stood charged. After some deliberation, the jury found both prisoners guilty on the first and fourth counts, and not guilty on the second and third. The prisoners having been called up for judgment in the usual form, . The Common Sergeant, in passing sentence, said the jury had found both prisoners guilty, after a very earnest defence, on the first and fourth counts in the indictment, which charged them with obtaining by false pretences a quaitity of property, and endeavouring to obtain by the same means a still larger amount, with intent to defraud. The jury, on the other two counts, which imputed con spiracy, had acquitted them, and he entirely concurred in the verdict which had beenreturned. It was of the utmost importance in a commercial country that all frauds should be severely punished, and had the jury returned a different he should have passed a heavier punishment. The learned judge then sentenced both prisoners to 18 months' imprison ment. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) OUTRAGEOUS CONDUCT OF A SOLDIER.—EXTRAORDI NARY BEuxvioun or A CONSTABLE.—Edward Sargent, a private of the 3dbattalion of Grenadier Guards, was charged with assaulting and stealing from the person of Mrs. Eliza beth Scott, of 12, Albion-street, Hyde-park, a veil and portemonnaie, under the following circumstances ; he was further charged with assaulting Woolland, 129 D, and Clark, 171 D. The prosecutrix said she was going home through Oxford street that morning about 4, having been to see a sick friend, and stopped for a conveyance, when the prisoner came up and seized and dragged her in a very rude manner, and pulled her about. She walked on in the hope of meet ing with assistance, but did not succeed till she got to the Marble-arch, when a constable came up, and she asked for his protection, but instead of .affording her any he struck her in the mouth, and said " Take that." Mr. Inspector Parke said he wished here to state that the prosecatrix had lodged a complaint against the constable at the Vine-street Station. Prosecutrix, 'in continuation, said she then ran, and meeting a working man, asked him to save her as the sol dier was following her. She screamed out, and two con stables came up and acted very properly and promptly. The soldier had previously snatched her veil and porte monnaie from her, but she did not blame him as he had been drinking. Mr. Beadon—Not blame him for treating you that way in the streets ? The soldier said he was very sorry. He had been drink ing at the time. Henry Gosling, a working man, confirmed several por tions of the previous witness's evidence. The sergeant of the prisoner's company said the soldier had been 15 years in the regiment. He was absent with out leave. • _,_ Mr. Beadon said it was his duty, as a soldier, to protect females and keep the peace. Here ho was following a female in the streets, taking her veil from her, and behaving in an outrageous manner. He should fine him 1.5 or two months. A constable said he was also charged with assaulting two constables. Mr. Beadon said the fine he had imposed would suffice. Yesterday the first Bird Show which has ever been attempted in this country on an extensive scale was held in the tropical department of the Crystal Palace, and attended with as much success as, perhaps, could have been anticipated from an exhibition in which the public feel such a very qualified amount of interest. It was understood that the success of the poultry shows had led the directors to initiate a show of canaries and British and foreign cage birds, in the belief that the dis play would excite the same feeling and command the same success. The experience of yesterday, however, would seem to prove that they were mis taken in their hopes, for certainly but compara tively few were in the building itself, while at no time throughout the day did the visitors seem at all inclined to give up the real attractions of the admirable Crystal Palace band for the sake of look ing at the little occupants of one or two thin rows of cages placed at intervals about the tropical de partment. Every one, of course, went to see the show on first entering the building, but a most cur sory inspection seemed to satisfy their curiosity, for who but professional bird fanciers could feel the least interest in the precise shades of difference be tween a " Mealy London Fancy " and a " Jonque London Fancy ? " As far as the majority were concerned, there seemed not many who could say where a " mealy linnet mule " differed:from a magpie, or even whether there was any difference at all. There were some 200 canaries of various kinds, many of them very beautiful little birds, yet we must say that no one seemed to care the least about them—even those which took first prizes. Perhaps the taste of the public wants cultivating in this respect, and this very likely may be so, for apparently there was no bird in the collection which excited so great a sen sation as a monstrous long-eared owl from Baden- Baden, who sat on his perch as if carved in wood, i scarcely opening his eyes to glance at the hundreds which were bent upon him. Next to this interest ing "warbler" two German rats came in for a fair share of admiration. On these curious competitors for the honour of a bird show, a price—prohibitive, we presume—of £5 ss. was fixed. One would imagine that the same number of pence would have answered the purpose equally as well. Next to the canaries came an interesting but very limited col lection of British birds. In this division are some very extraordinary hybrids of the goldfinch and bullfinch. Among the birds of passage were black caps, nightingales, titlarks, and whitethroats. Mr. Hanly, of the Ist Life Guards, exhibited au aviary of 14 varieties, all caught wild, including a skylark with white wings. Among the thrushes, also, is one perfectly rntite, an albino thrush, in fact, an exception to the general rule of colour, which is found among birds of all kinds. A divi sion of the show is devoted to foreign birds, gray and green parrots, love birds, paroqucts, cocka toos, &c. Some of these were represented in the calalogue as wonderful birds for talking, but they are apparently shy of displaying their accomplishments before strangers.. We must not, however, omit to mention that among the canaries was one not only gifted with an un usual flow of song, but which had also learnt to speak a great many words from a paroquet, with which it had been reared. The prizes awarded varied in sums from £2 to 10s., and £7O was thus distributed among the successful competitors. Perhaps owing to a want of interest in the bird show, all the Fine Arts Courts yesterday received an unusual share of public attention, and were better filled than we often see them. The private courts, too, were extensively patronised, and none more so than Mr. Hawkins's China and Glass Court, where there is probably of its kind one of the finest and most tasteful displays of English manufactur ing and artistic skill that can be met with in Lon don. This court is fast becoming one of the most attractive in the iuilding, The preparation for the Great Handel Commemoration of next June or July are already beginning, and, from the scale on which they are intended to be carried out, the fete is likely to leave all other musical festivals yet attempted in this or any other country far behind. The great Handel orchestra is to be made still larger, and, instead of accommodating 2,500 per formers, as it does at present, will be so enlarged as to give ample space for no less than 4,000 persons. A canvgss roof will also be placed upon it and the sides heightened, and so constructed as to throw out the whole of the immense volume of sound into the centre transept. The mero orchestra, in fact, will be a curiosity in itself, as it will be nearly three times the size of any yet built in Europe. 49 51 96 98 03 105 5f 61 [l2 115 109 113 [l4 116 112 114 [29 131 82 84 Stock Stock Stock Stock) Stock) Stock Stock 100 Stock 50 Stock Stock Stock Stock Stock 264. 13} 20 Stock Stock Stock Stock Stock Stock Stock 12i 12i Stock Stock 12i 121 Stock Stock Stock Stock - - Stock Stock Stock Stock Stock Stock Stock , Stock' 100 100 100 100 all 71i 72i - - [O9 111 [2O 122 [l2 113 [9l 106 64 66 101 111 Stock Stock Stock 8k Stock Stock Stock Stock 10s. 10 1.0.6. 95 97 8.5 E 7 87 89 98 100 10 lo 14 177 10 10 72 74 18 19 9 9i 14 14 142 144 Stock' Stock Stock Stock Stock 2511 251 Stock 100 100 100 100 100 [9 121 60 165 L 9 121 *1) 68 - 72 [4l 143 1.02 10 95 9711 P 91 91 111 111 9 10 108 110 N 100 }die p ip 23i 24; 120 122 824 3 721 2 161 • 5 1 30 28.2.811 99 101 18.18.9 Sharel 4i 9 40 128 E -9 MEN' ITIES.

Augustin Jallde, an Italian, aged 25, pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with burglariously breaking and entering the dwelling-house of Mr. C. Pritchard, residing in the vicinity of Clapham, and stealing therefrom three forks, ono fish knife, and various other articles. The Common Sergeant said the prisoner had done right in pleading guilty to the indictment against him. The crime the prisoner had committed was of itself a very serious one, but it was frightful to contemplate what might have been the result supposing the rev. gentleman, or any of the domestics, had disturbed him while ho was engaged in the act of plundering the house. From the deposi tions, he found that he, in the most business-like man ner, forced a wire guard from its position, and thus obtained an entry to the premises. That after he had succeeded so: far in his object the prisoner ob tained a light and ransacked room after room, in search of the silver plate, armed with a large knife. Fortunately for the inmates the police were the first to arouse them, and ' when they attempted to capture the prisoner he commenced a desperate resistance with the knife, so much so that it was a mercy he did not commit the crime of murder, for murder it would certainly have been had death ensued to any person. He trembled to think of the consequences of per sons of the determined disposition of the prisoner being discovered in the act of plunder in the dead of night in the house of a clergyman, and he ought to be thankful that he was not now standing before the Court as a murderer. The sentence of the Court was, that he be kept to penal servi tude for six years. THIRD COURT, (Before Mr. Prendergast.) The trials in this Court this morning consisted of Mint cases, none of which possessed the slightest interest. THE ARCTIC E X PEDlTlON.—lnformation has been brought by some whalers, recently arrived, that Cap tain I\l'Clintook was seen early in August within Pond's Bay, into which he had succeeded in navigating the Fox, an& that he was holding communication with numerous parties of Escsimaux, HAY MARKETS. SMITHFIELD. Meadow hay, £3 Os to £4 lOs ; clover, do., £3 15s to £5 5s ; and straw, £1 ss. to £1 10s. per load. Supply moderate, and trade dull. CUMBERLAND.—Meadow hay, £3 Os to £4 lOs; clover do., £3 15s to £5 ss. ; and straw, £1 6s to £1 lOs per load. Both hay and straw sold slowly, at our quotations. WHITECHAPEL.—Meadow hay, £3 Os to £4 108; clover, do., £3 15s to £5 ss. ; and straw, £1 6s to £1 12s per load. A fair average supply, and a heavy demand. COLONIAL. TEA.—The market remains very quiet, but a moderate quantity is announced for public sale during the week. Common congou is quoted 101 d per lb. SUGAIL—The dealings are limited, but prices continue exceedingly firm. In the refined market an average busi ness has been done, at fully late quotations. COFFEE.—The better qualities of plantation Ceylon con tinue in good request, and sales, to some extent, have been effected, at steady rates. RlCE, —There has been a brisk inquiry for the better kinds, and good qualities of Bengal have been sold at a slight advance. Rum.—The market is very steady at about previous quotations. FRUlT.—Currants have not been quite so much in de mand, but previous rates are realized. Valencia raisins continue in fair request, and sell for full rates. SALTPETRE.—The inquiries for good Bengal qualities have been active, and rates show an improved tendency. British Refined has advanced is per cwt. TALLow.—Business is not quite so active, but prices continue exceedingly firm. P.Y.C., on the spot are, for all the year, 51s to 51s 3d ; January to March, 51s 6d to 51s Od ; and April to June, 60s 6d to Ms 9d per cwb. COLLEGE FINES AT CAMBRIDGE.—At Christ's College, Cambridge, a startling increase in the amount of chapel and gate tines has just been made. For one omission of attendance on Sunday Is. is charged ; for two omissions, 2s. 6d. ; for omission on one weekday, Is. ; for every addi tional day in the same week, 6d. A man attending chapel as often as twice on Sunday and three times during the week would still have to pay 2s. weekly, while his fines might amount to twice that sum. The fine for coming in after eleven o'clock in cap and gown is to be ls. ; without cap and gown after nine o'clock in winter, or after ten o'clock in summer, 2s. Gd. After twelve o'clock it is 2s. Gd. for a man wearing his academical dress ; if he be without it he pays 10s. ACCIDENT TO THE DUKE OF HAMILTON.—His Grace the Duke of Hamilton met with an accident on the 12th inst., near Brodick Castle, Arran, while engaged, along with two gentlemen, in the cover in pursuit of wood cocks. One of the gentlemen, in firing at a woodcock—not perceiving that the duke;was in t he same direction—dis charged his piece and hit his grace. The pellets are small which are used for this description of game ; but ono entered his shoulder, two his left hand, and a fourth struck his right eyebrow, and penetrated to the bone, running.an inch round, and lodging in the outer angle of the eyebrow. His grace has been confined to his room for some days, but the effects of the injuries are happily disappearing quickly.— Glasgow .Daily FOREIG: Australian Boa AccordCopper,Lim. Brazil. Imp.

It is shown by Mr. Paget, our diplomatic agent at Lisbon (in the blue-book already referred to in the City article, and in a separate notice), that the exports to England from Oporto amount to 5,712,581 milreis, and the imports from England into Oporto to 5,475,769 milreis. The exports from Lisbon to England amount to 1,669,050 milreis, and the im ports from England into Lisbon to 4,138,522 mil reis. These figures show that the trade of Portugal with England is more than double the whole of her trade with the rest of the world. The Portuguese tariff taxes very highly both manufactured goods and the raw material. The manufactories of Por tugal are prosperous and on the increase, and the result is highly injurious to the English trade with that country. But it is thought by Mr. Paget that an undue proportion of manufactories is an unnatural state of things, and caculated eventually to bring Portugal into a state of greater poverty than that in which she at present lies. Portugal should content herself with being an agricultural country, and supplying the markets of the world with grain and wine. There are about 1,600 fac tories in Portugal, employing some 20,000 opera tives. The system of Government monopolies is rife, and is of course productive of the worst effects. The cutlery and ironmongery of Portugal are worth, less, except for native use. .The Portuguese agricul turists are incorrigibly and stupidly " conservative." They will only act according to " custom," they disdain the wisest counsels of savans, and they cen sure those who attempt to make innovations. There are districts in which vile wine is made from good grapes, although much better wines might be pro duced with less trouble. But of this the manufac turers (or rather makers) cannot be convinced even by "repetition hammered on their ears." There is no wine of any kind, or anywhere obtainable, that may not be grown in Portug al, vet more than half the land is uncultivated, and all modern improve ments are carefully eschewed. This sad state of things is chiefly attributable to the want of roads and means of transport throughout the country. Another great bar to progress in Portugal is the absolute reliance of every one on the Government for every work of utility and improvement. What ever the Government do not undertake remains un done. A source of immense wealth exists in the Por tuguese mines ; quicksilver and copper are known to be plentiful, but the mines are only slightly worked. The imports of minerals into Portugal greatly exceed the exports, notwithstanding her great mineral wealth. Mr. Paget, at the close of his re port, observes that every work of improvement and progress finds the most strenuous support in the present intelligent sovereign of the country. As regards port wine (of which more hereafter), it is a fallacy to suppose that " pure" port wine exists, as it is invariably mixed with brandy at Villa Nova, and, indeed, would not " keep" . without.

SOUTH DURHAM AND NORTH YORKSHIRE FAT STOCK AND POULTR Y SOCIETY.—Some idea of the extent an d success of the appoaching meeting may be formed when we remark that the ground plan, independent of the sham bles (exclusively to be appropriated for pigeons), to which the erection will bo attached, covers an area of 290 feet by 65. Although the particulars of the entries are, of course, a s yet unknown, enough has been gathered from various exhibitors to warrant the anticipation of the best show, in all classes, of which this thriving society has been able to boast. The dinner takes place on the 9th, at Mr. Wright son's, Sun Inn, Darlington, when, we hope, a large gather ing of country gentlemen and friends of agriculture, under the presidency of P. H. Howard, Esq., of Corby Castle, will testify their approval of the excellent accommodation and encouragement the society has always afforded.— Carlisle Examiner. FATAL GUN ACCIDENT .—On Wednesday morn ing Mr. George Beami s h, son o f th e l a t e R ev . M r . Beamish, of Drinagh, near Cork, went out to shoot with a double barrelled gun and anuntrained dog.

CONVOCATION OF THE PROVINCE OF YORK.—The Hon', and Very Rev. the Dean of York (acting as the Com missioner of the Archbishop of York), and the Rev.

A PETRIFIED WIFE.—A few days since a gen a gentleman residing in Rising Sun, Indiana, who had married a second time, wished to remove t he bod y of his wife to a new cemetery. Preparations were made to that effect, and labourers opened the grave in the usual manner ; but when they reached the coffin they could not lift it,so great was the weight. After obt ainin g considerable assist ance, however, the men succeeded in raising the coffin from the tomb They then could not resist the temptation of peering into the coffin, and learning the reason for its un usual weight, and found, instead of the remains of a corp e, a stone figure, the exact counterpart of the woman who had died. This strange story soon spread, and hundreds and thousands of persons were present to see the strange spec tacle. The husband took tim body of his departed spouse home, and has it there now, where it is visited by hundreds of the curious and scientific. The body seems to have been petrified, and to have become a perfect stone woman. The probability is that the body has become adipocete, and 7111, before long, melt or crumble,--Cincinatti /net 6 or, h in [lost ient and de," and ated , has ,s, in haft, I, has basin I
