MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS• CITY, Two O'CLOCK. From the manufacturing districts the accounts for the past week are very unsatisfactory. The woollen trade of Leeds has been dull, the deal- ings entered into being only for immediate re quirements. Worsted yarns and piece" goods at Bradford have been neglected, and several of the mills are working " short time." At Manchester increased depression has been appa rent. India goods, owing to the late ad vices from the East, have shown a marked depres sion. The hosiery trade at Leicester has been steady, but the late unfavourable weather has in a great measure checked the production of fancy goods. Business at Birmingham has been very in active in all departments, and at Sheffield, Walsall, and Wolverhampton no material change for the better can be recorded. The iron trade of South Staffordshire still continues very quiet. In the Liverpool cotton market, on Saturday, business was rather quiet, and prices were steady. The sales were 8,000 bales. The railway share market closed with a rather active appearance, and quotations were higher. The increased pressure for money has caused a slight advance in the terms of discount, very little accommodation being now obtainable in the gene ral market at the Bank of England minimum quo tations. The directors of that establishment are consequently obtaining a large amount of business, and a temporary addition to the other securities may be anticipated. The approaching distribution of the dividends, however, when the extensive loans obtained on stock until the transfer books re open will be repaid, may speedily lead to a con trary movement. There were no bullion operations at the Bank of England on Saturday. The sum of £5,000 has been employed in the re- 1 demption of 52 Buenos Ayres 3 per Cent. Bonds, value £20,000; and the dividend has also been ad vertised for payment on the 6 per Cent. sterling Bonds. The Africa, from New York, has arrived this morning with £40,240, and the Ceylon, from Alex andria, with £1,347. The market for Public Securities opened favour ably, a rise of 1 per cent. having taken place in consequence of speculative purchases based upon the more genial state of the weather. Consols were 931 2, but they are now 93! 1, being flatter. The New Three per Cents. and the Reduced have im proved to 931 ; India 51 per Cent. Enfaced Paper is firm at 102 ; ditto Debentures remain at 961; and Exchequer Bills are 4s. prem. Rather more activity has prevailed in the Fo reign Stock Market, and prices are steady. Turkish 13 per Cents. are 771 to 7%; ditto New, 60 to 601; and the 4 per Cents. remain at 1021 ; Brazilian 5 per Cents. at 984 99; and Dutch 4 per Cents. at 1011 ; Portuguese are marked 43 44 ex div.; Peruvian Uribarren, 81 , Z ex div. ; Russian 41 per Cents., 93 ex div. ; and Spanish Deferred, 391 ex div. The Ocean Marine Insurance Shares are 1 ; prem. ; the Thames and Mersey, 11 7-, prem. ; and the Universal, g prem. _ _ _ Business in the Railway Share Market has been moderately active, and most of the principal lines have been at advanced values. Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee, Lancashire and Yorkshire, North-Western, North-Eastern (Berwick), and South Eastern have improved 55.; Great Western, 'Midland, and North British, 10s. ; and Caledonian and Eastern Counties, 15s. The Foreign lines are heavy. Lombardo Vene tian realise 12. In the Colonial Market prices have also shown more buoyancy.

PICKING POCKETS.—Two boys, named Charles Warn ham and Thomas Brown, were charged as follows : William Gordon, 33G A, said that on Saturday afternoon, in Lower Regent-street, he saw 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 BoY.—John Manning, a rough surly boy, was charged with assaulting a boy named Mark Barnett, by cuttin g 1-am in the eve with a sword. It appears the prisoner was fighting with several other b o ys with sticks and swords in Grafton-street, Soho, at tacking every boy indiscriminately, when the lad Barnett, who was passing quietly np 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 wore called who left little doubt of the fact, and a constable proved seeing the prisoner throw the sword away. Remanded. THIS DAIS SHIPPING.

THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock. taken without the greatest consideration. He could as sure— Earl GRANVILLE rose to order. The order of the day had not yet been read, and he thought the noble duke had risen for the purpose of answering the appeals that had been made to him—and in which he most entirely con curred—to postpone proceeding with his resolution that evening. The Earl of DERBY said he did not think any appeal from him would be attended with success after the efforts of the noble lords who had pressed for a postponement of the motion. He was of opinion that the best course for the noble duke to pursue would be to assent to the appeal made to him. (Hear, hear.) Lord BROUGHAM said that in the noble duke's proceeding with his motion he should move the previous question without discussion The Duke of MARLBOROUGH then proceeded to ad dress the house at great length, and concluded by moving his resolution. [LEFT SITTING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS-(THIS EVENING.) The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. The Lords' amendments to bills were con sidered and agreed to, and the bills were ordered for third reading :—Central Wales Railway, Oswestry and Newtown Railway (Branch Railway, &c.), Caledonian Railway (Branches to Lanark, &c.), Everton, &c. Drain age, Kilrush and Kilkee Railway and Poulnasherry Em bankment, and West of Fife Mineral Railway. TIE ALLEGED BREACH OF PRIVILEGE BY THE HOUSE OF LORDS. Mr. BRIGHT presented a petition numerously signed, but from the inaudible manner in which the hon. member expressed himself we were unable to ascertain the locality from which it emanated, against the alleged unconstitutional interference of the Upper House in rejecting the bill for the repeal of the paper duty. The honourable member read the petition, which was very voluminous, and set forth that in the opinion of the petitioners the course pursued by the House of Lords was unconstitutional, as measures relating to taxation, by the theory of the constitution, originated with the House of Commons, and any interference with them was an undue usurpation of power by one branch of the Legislature. THIS DA Y's MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. Nearly the whole of the markets held in the provinces on Saturday were very dull for wheat, at drooping curren cies. All descriptions of corn were extremely inactive, and rather lower to purchase. In flour very little was doing. Large quantities of wheat continue to change hands in the continental markets. Prices, however, 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 in the port of Lon dart last week were very limited. From abroad the imports were liberal, viz., 20,381 qrs of wheat, 4,560 barley, 42,157 oats, 40 beans, 125 peas, 3,475 linseed, 3,040 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 for 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 IMPERIAL MEASURE.

The _Racing Times says :—There was considerable bustle and excitement in both the City and Belgravian districts. The settling passed off (as we are happy to have to chroni cle it has lately) most satisfactorily. Every one was busy on the forthcoming great events, and some heavy amounts were invested on various animals. There was a great desire to back several at the marked pricer, amongst which we enumerate the July Stakes at Newmarket, for which Walloon and Dictator were in strong demand, and the former left off at 5 to 2, and the latter was backed for same money at 3 to 1. Lupus was backed at 6 to 1, and although several others were spoken of, still they were not backed for any money. For the Stamford Plate, Queen of the Vale was, as might have ben supposed, made the favourite, and as little as 3 to 1 was taken with avidity. Brown Duchess and Satellite were each supported at 6 to 1, and both had numerous admirers, especially the latter, lut no vast amount of money was in vested. For the Cumberland Plate 'Wildman was "all the go ; " in fact, there was scarcely anything else thought of, much Less spoken about. 6to 4 was hardly offered before it was taker, so eager were the backers to get on. The Worcester Stakes attracted but little attention, nothing else being mentioned but Crater, the longest price offered being 6 to 4. On the Liverpool Cup speculation was very brisk ; in fact, there was more absolute business done on this than on any other forthcoming event. Aston was in great demand from the opening of the rooms, and although at first 6 to 1 was obtainable, at the close 4 to 1 was his really marketable price. Viatka seemed to be the next in favour, Bto 1 being taken. Moorcock, Horace, Adam Bede, and the Druid were each supported in different quarters with some spirit. For the Goodwood Stakes Gridiron ad vanced in favour. At the commencement 6 to 1 was taken, but after a short interval as little as 5 to 1 was taken freely, and eventually 4 to 1 was the highest offer. Rattiebone had no friends to-day, so they " hit him again." At the finish his knock down was 100 to 8. Stapleton was backed freely at 12 to 1, and Satellite came all at once and was backed for money at 20 to 1, and 100 to 6 at last could only have been procured to an infinitessimal amount. For the Goodwood Cup 4 to 1 was offered on the field. Butterfly was the only animal we saw backed, and 8 to 1 was taken about her. The Doncaster St. Leger betting had no animation, and will searcely require any comment.

HOUSE OF L9RDS—(Tuis EVENING.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Galway Harbour, the Waveney Valley Railway, Great Northern and Metropolitan Junction Railway, Lon don Railway Depot and Storehouses, North British Rail way (stations, &o.), Vale of Clwyd Railway Extension, Huugerford Market and Charing-cross Bridge Companies, and London, Chatham, and Dover Railway (Metropolitan Extension) Bills. The following bills were read a third time and passed : Swansea Harbour and Trusts, Watchet Harbour, and Con way and Llanrwst Railway (Amendments). BENEFIT SOCIETIES. Lord CHELMSFORD presented petitions against the eighth clause in the Benefit societies Bill, which related to the winding up of friendly societies. STANDING ORDERS. On the motion of Lord REDESDALE, the standing order No 178 was considered and suspended, in order that the Mid Sussex and Midhurst Junction Railway Deviation Bill might be proceeded with. THE ITALIAN PAPERS. Lord STRATFORDdeHikiiiiE4 wished to ask a il question of the noble lord the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. It was, when the Italian papers which had been moved for in the other house would be laid upon the table ? Questions of the greatest importance were con nected with that correspondence, and it would be a great convenience if it was known when those papers would be produced. Lord WODEHOUSE was understood to say the papers would be laid on the table on Thursday next. THE BIBLE IN INDIA. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY appealed to the noble duke (Marlborough) to postpone the motion which stood on the paper in his name for that evening. He heard from the best authority, from persons connected and residing in India —the peculiar position of affairs in India at the present moment—the state of distrust in mens minds—adismasion of that nature would be highly inexpedient at the present time, and, ho might say, hazard ous. (Hear, hear.) If the noble lord took the step he proposed, the diffusion of Christianity would be imperilled. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH joined in the appeal of the noble earl who had just sat down. If the noble duke valued the peace of India he would not proceed with his motion that evening. Lord HARRIS said he spoke from some experience, and he could not but think that there was great danger in going into such a discussion at the present moment. The Duke of MARLBOROUGH said he felt the great difficulty in which he stood after the appeals that had been made to him, but the subject was one he had not under- THE REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON PRECEDENTS. Lord PALMERSTON, in reply to some questions, said that he trusted hon. members who had motions on the subject of the rejection of the bill for the repeal of the duty on paper would postpone them until Thursday next, when he would be in a position to make a statement in reference to the matter, the importance of which he could not exagge rate. (Hear, hear.) Mr. E. JAMES said that, as far as he was concerned, he would be most happy to accede to the suggestion of the noble lord. _ _ _ _ Other hon. members expressed themselv.s to the same effect. _ _ THE SUNDAY TRADING BILL. Mr. HORSFALL asked the noble lord the member for Huntingdonshire what his intentions were with regard to the second reading of the Sunday Trading Bill, which stood for Friday next. Lord R. MONTAGUE said that under the circum stances, as developed by the expression of feeling in regard to the bill, he did not feel himself justified in pressing the measure, which he would formally withdraw next Friday. NAPLES. Mr. SMERIDAN asked the First Lord of the Treasury whether, in the event of an outbreak of the Lazzaroni at Naples, the English representative had instructions and means at hand sufficient to protect the English residents at Nipples ? Lord P ALM E RST ON said the English representative at Naples had received the instructions necessary to provide for the security of English residents in the town in ques tion. THE PROPOSED CONFERENCE. In reply to Sir R. PEEL, Lord J. RUSSELL said that her Majesty's Government had acceded to the proposal made with reference to a con ference to be held in relation to the annexation of the neu t alised provinces of Savoy and Switzerland, and he be lieved that Russia had also acceded to the proposal. FINANCE. Mr. AYRTON asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer when he intended to make his statement of the financial arrangements to complete the provision for the service of the year ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the course usually adopted was to obtain the votes neces sary for the public service, and then for the Chancellor of the Exchequer to make a statement, which he was pre pared to do at the proper time. EUROPEAN FORCES (INDIA) BILL. The adjourned debate on the amendment to the second reading of this bill, to the effect that it be read a second time this day six months, was resumed by Mr. RICH—He considered that this question was one of vast importance, and naturally affected the interests of this country as well as the moral and material prosperity of India. The measure proposed to make a permanent addi tion to the standing army of this country of between 70,000 and 80,000 men in order to meet the requirements for the force necessary to be maintained in India. There were many arguments in favour of continuing a local force in India, and some of them were so powerful that he was sur prised hon members could for a moment be induced to give their sanction to a measure like the present. He begged also to draw the attention of the house to the fact that the bill was at valiance with the opinions of the most competent authorities in regard to the affairs of India. He called on hon. members who might not be practically acquainted with the subject to deliberate before they as sented to a bill like the present, which :he believed was pregnant with the most disastrous elements in regard to English dominion in India. Mr. TORRENS followed on the same side. Sir DE LACY EVANS also opposed the bill, and was [LEFT SPEAKING.] LAW INTELLIGENOE.--(THIS DAY.) SHERIFFS COURT. CHOAT V. DOW-PLEA OF INFANCY-IMPORTANT DECISION. Plaintiff is a tailor, and claimed a sum of money for a waistcoat and pair of trousers supplied to defendant.

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 bas been pleaded. Witness—There are eleven joins in the waistcoat. His Honour—l don't care if there aro 25, They are quite good enough for an infant. When infants como into the City for necessaries they must pay. Verdict for plaintiff with costs. rEcuLiAn. CASE OF MASTER AND SERVANT.-ADVERT.S IND FOR A P ARTNER.--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 he 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 Gs. 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 notic e . His wages were not raised upon becoming liable, but because he complained that £2 was insufficient. He was liable for £l3B 10s. 9d., baying 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. HoirE FOR THE MIDS (AIM EE _HOLIDAYS. SONG BY A. SCHOOLBOY, The summer holidays are these, But where are all the strawberries? The cherries also, where are they ? 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 I Fruit—don't you wish that you may get, With all this precious cold and wot ? 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, pears, or plums, And I'm at school when Autumn comes. How shall my sorrow find relief ? For dinner let us have roast beef, Turkey, plum-pudding, and mince-pie, Whilst a good fire is blazing high. And whilst I hear th .1 cold wind blow, I'll think that snowballs follow snow; And hoping soon to skate or slide, Take Midsummer for Christmas-tide. Lord J. Russell was much better last evening, and the noble lord, it is fully anticipated, will be able to resume his place iu the House of Commons early in the present week. TILE NEW COMET.—A writer in a cont em p or a r y says :—The comet was ag ain visible on F r id ay n i g ht be tween 9 and 10 o'clock , shining brightly in the north-north. , west. Why is it that, with our many observatories and our astronomers constantly on the 1ook• out, no t one o f th em has yet vouchsafed to the public any ac coun t o f thi s new visitor ? Is it approaching the sun or receding from it ? Will it grow brighter or fade shortly from view ? Is it the cornet of Charles V. or a new one ? In conclusion, he says —Mr. Hind calculated several years ago th a t th e com et of Charles V. would return to its perihelion on the 2d of August, 1858, and Professor Bomme, of Middleburgh, that this would not take place till the 32d of August, 1860, 1856. 1857. 1858. 1859. 1860.

Otherwise, the beef trade ruled heavy at a decline in the quotations, compared with Monday last, of 2d per Sibs. The arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam bridgeshire comprised 2,000 Scots, shorthorns, and crosses; from other parts of England 600 various breeds ; from Scotland, 21 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland 17 oxen, &c. Tho show of sheep was again but moderate. Oa the whole, the mutton trade ruled firm, at fully last week's cur rency. The best Downs readily produced 5s 6d per Sibs. For lambs, the supply of which was rather limited, there was a good demand, on rather higher terms, Down breeds having realised 7s per Sibs. Calves were in good supply and steady request, at very full prices. In pigs very little was doing, at last week's quotations. Per 81bs to sink the offal. s. d. s. d.

SOUTHAMPTON, MONDAY. The 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 559 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 Alexandi is there was an Egyptian squadron. At Malta were her Majesty's ships Growler, Caradoc, 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 sailed 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 tain 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 sumo port in the Baltic, on her first voyage, and of about 1,000 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 pool. The French bark Felice Bernabe was cruising off Europa Point ; and Norwegian bark Harm 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 Glamor 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 Attache to the ;Morocco Legation. Don Jose Merry y Colon, the recently appointed Spanish Charge d'Affaires and Consul-General to the Court of Morocco, arrived at Tangier on the 19th in the Vasco Nunez do Mho, accompanied by the steam sloop Leone. OR laning 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, 1859, for having given to various persons copies of the New Testament in the Spanish language, and was brought to trial on the charge of attempting to change the religion of Spain. The district judge 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 501 ; Paris, M. 30c. ; Marseilles and Genoa, of. 31c.; Madrid, 8 days' sight.

THE NEW INSOLVEN T a 2llx . 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 Garde's, 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 Mcßride, 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. John Goes, 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.

TIIE OXFORD-STREET TRAGEDY. —After the ver dict had been returned at the inquest on the body of the man Dhereng, at the workhouse in M oun t-street, on Fri day, and the reporters and the public had . left, several of the jury refused to sign the inquisiti on, and r t. appeared that only 11 were in of the 15 members composing the jury fa vour of the verdict as giv en, while four insisted on a ver dict 'effete de se, and it was not until a deliberation and di,_ cussion of nearly an hour's duration theta the verdict was officially recorded as given in the first innce y the fore man.

Montgomery. " Musical Bouquet " Office, High Holborn. 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 llecome 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 " Nellv Gray" are more than usually attractive. " Les Echoes de la Loire" offer 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, and 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 givi,n 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 Excur 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 ono 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 di3tinguished themselves for their skill in thece 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. iegree 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 infomation. It is, therefore, most probable that simiiar success will attend its appearance as that which greeted its predecessor last year. The 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 far horses insane. However this may be, Mr. Rarey, now a great authority, is of Mr. Mayhew's opinion; and we have no doubt tbat 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 laught er i n an y soc i e ty. 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. He 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 life depends upon his word : for his service it surrenders eTery 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 NT,- Mavhew's book, and taken notice of the warning signal, wnicn, 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 fas hion is perfect. Were it the fashion for ladies and gen tlemen to ride, the former on the footboard and. ideas on the the gentlemen on the box, while Jac a k s a i n .t d w T a o s m a sa la t inside, it would be all right so long as to the m G uc e h nt a il i i s t p y: u h te a s mode.

Gentlemen's coachmen complain of the work when their horses are driven ten miles daily, al:hcugh the distance may ho repeated by bro ken visits and s l acpping. The cabs of Lt,ndon these la,t vo l eoles, can only e m ploy the le - ,rs( w' hentlemen have di k ca r ded ; with am g hower: r, no hearing rein is adopted. The cast. af animal, which previously fagged over ten • miles, when reduced to the ranks, has to pull lo a d s which, no genteel carriage would carry, and to travel a. sufficient distance to pay horse, driver, conveyance, and proprietor. In the possibility of such a contrast is, perhaps, exemplified the cruelty of the bearing rein. The work concludes with a brief summary, arranged in alphabetical order, of the subjects previously treated on, upon which great care has been be stowed, and the known ability of the author gua rantees its worth. Hardly less attractive than the letterpress are the four hundred beautifully exeout'd woodcuts which accompany it, and which 9rPta,T . clearly the meaning.
