MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY,. Two o'CLocx. The accounts received from most of the manu facturing districts state that business during the past week has not been very active, the demand for autumn and spring having in a great measure fallen off, owing to the completion of the orders on hand. The iron trade of South Staffordshire continues dull, although stocks are low. The export orders for the American markets are small and prices, it is expected, will recede. At Birmingham the various fancy trades of the district have been moderately active, and prices have undergone no alteration. At Leeds the demand for woollen cloth continues steady, and a full average business has been done chiefly in light descriptions. The export houses have also been well employed, and the mills in the neighbourhood are working full time. Most of the manufacturers and spinners at Bradford are busy upon contract orders, and prices for both wools and yarns continue steady. In piece goods the dealings have been limited, at about pre vious rates. Business at Manchester has exhibited little change. The home demand for domestic and printing cloths is satisfactory for the time of ,year For the India and China markets there has been a moderate inquiry, but the high range of prices precludes the idea of any large transactions being entered into at present. At Leicester the hosiery trade in most branches continues active, although the high price of yarns checks orders for exporta tion. Both wools and yarns fully maintained their value. At Northampton the lace trade continues dull, Letters from Liverpool mention that the Cotton Market on Saturday closed firmly, and prices were without alteration. The sales amounted to 8,000 bales. In Railway Shares a moderate business was transacted, and previous rates were fully sup ported. There is still a good demand for money, and even at the Bank of England the applications have in creased. The engagements due to-day, the 4th, are not supposed to represent a very large amount, and in a few days the inquiry will probably sub side. Next week, however, there may again be an augmented supply of bills for negotia tion, as the Turkish Loan instalment and the Consol settlement will temporarily create an absorption from the general resources of the market. The large influx of specie, and the release of the October dividends, however, will assist in keeping the money market in an easy state. The terms still range Ito q per cent. below the Bank minimum, and the supply of capital is still superabundant, but the discount firms avail themselves of every opportunity for charging a slight increase in their terms of accommodation. It is expected that during the present week some important additions will be made to the stock of bullion in the Bank of England, as more than a million and a quarter sterling, received during the Past week, may be available for that purpose. The export demand, both on continental and eastern account, is very limited ; indeed, the drain to India and China is almost suspended. While the general exports have thus diminished, it is noticed as rather a singular circumstance that the imports from the various sources of supplyhave been on, an enlarged Beale. The advices from New York state that money continued easy, loans on United States and the best State Securities having been made at 3 and 32 per cent. Foreign exchanges were firm, and a good business had been done on London at 110. With regard to trade a New York correspondent states, " It is gratifying to perceive that our imports are kept below the standard of last year. There could be no better guarantee of the solid basis on - which our trade will rest when it does revive, than this curtailment of our wants from abroad ; nor can there be any reason for doubting the prospect of an early revival, when it is seen that at this port alone our importations for the past nine months fall short of those of the corre sponding period last year by 74,000,000 dols." When the English Stock Market opened this morning the quotations again appeared rather flat, but although the transactions have been limited there has since been increased firmness, and if it Were not for the influence of operations connected - with the approaching settlement renewed buoyancy - would, no doubt, be exhibited. Consols are about 9 8i d for money, and the 12th inst. at 987 d for the November account ; they are now about 987 and 981 K respectively. The June Exchequer Bills are 255. to 28s. prem., and India Bonds 12s. prem. India Stock is 219 to 222. East India Debentures are 997 7 for the Ist issue, and 991 for the 2d. A moderate business has been recorded in the Foreign Market. Mexican stock is flat at 21 8 ; Venezuelan Bonds are steady, the 5 per Cents. being 41, and the Deferred, 151 1. Turkish Bonds are also tolerably well maintained, the 6 per Cents. being 971 98; the 4 per Cents., 1041 1051 ; and the Scrip, 1- 1 per cent. prem. Peruvian 3 per Cents. are marked 701 ; and Brazilian 41 per Cents. (1858), 961. A moderate amount of business has been done in the Railway Share Market, but the variations in ;prices have not been important. Eastern Counties have improved ss. ; North-Western, Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, 10s. ; North-Eastern (Ber wick), 10s. to 15s. ; and Bristol and Exeter, £l. ; 'Great Western, Midland, South-Eastern, and Great Northern declined ss. The Foreign and Colonial lines have also shown some slight variation. Eastern of France and Parts and Lyons improved about ss. ; Grand Trunk of Canada, 10s. ; and East Indian, 15s. Joint-Stock Bank Shares are flat. London Joint- Stock declined 55., and Ottoman Bank, £l. In the Miscellaneous Share Market, Peninsular and Oriental Steam have improved to 87, and the New Shares to 184. BRITISH FUNDS—CLOSING PRICES. 3 pe'r Cent.

THE BISHOP OF NORWICH.—The reports made from Tunbridge-wells, in reference to the health of the Bishop of Norwich, are of a favourable character. The right rev. prelate is still, however, advised to abstain from ally active exertion. The indisposition of his lordship h as elicited on all sides deep expressions of regret. ASSESSED TAXE5.—£1,062,564 was the total amount of assessed taxes charged in the year 1856 for all the counties of England and Wales, and £97,720 for those of Scotland. In the boroughs of England and Wales the amount charged was £803,986, and in those of Scotland £56,762. This makes a grand total of £2,021,032 for the counties and boroughs of Great Britain. DEATH OF A COUNTY COURT JUDGE.—Mr. Jas. "Losh, the judge of the Northumberland County Cmirts, died on Friday, at his residence in Newcastle-on-Tyne.

THIS DAYS MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. A very limited business was transacted in wheat in the leading country markets held on Saturday, and the value of all kinds had a drooping tendency. Barley was dull and rather easier. In all other produce, including flour, very few transactions took place, and prices were net supported. Throughout the continent wheat has been offered on easier terms, and spring corn has favoured buyers. In the United States wheat, flour, and maize have sold heavily. About average supplies of English produce were on sale here last week. The imports from abroad were large—viz., 17,708 quarters of wheat, 14,770 of barley, 71,828 of oats, 500 rye, 2,789 beans, 2,245 peas, 5,539 linseed, 6,480 rape seed, 117 mustard seed, 433 sundry seeds, and 190 sacks of flour. Fresh up to-day, from Essex, the arrival of wheat, coast wise and by land carriage, was limited ; and the supply from Kent was very moderate. Notwithstanding that the show of samples was limited, the demand for an kinds of wheat of home produce ruled heavy. In prices, however, com ared with Monday last, no quotable change took place. 'The general quality of the samples was by no moans first rate. Millers generally show no disposition to increase their stocks, There was rather a large show of most descriptions of foreign wheat. Even the finest samples were much neglected ; indeed, so little business was transacted that prices ruled almost nominal. _ Floating cargoes of grain were very dull Fine malting barley sold at full prices, but other kinds— which formed the bulk of the supply—moved off slowly . at irregular quotations. _ _ Tilers was a fair business doing in malt at full prices. The supply of English oats was small, of foreign large Sales progressed slowly, at prices barely equal to last week. Beans were in moderate supply and sluggish request, al about stationary prices. There was a slow inquiry for peas, at late rates. Blue qualities, however, were scarce, and realised high quotations. The flour trade was heavy, at about last week's currency.

The supply of foreign stock in to-day's market was season ably good as to number, but its general condition was in ferior. From' our own grazing districts, the receipts of beasts fresh up this morning were deficient in quality ; nevertheless, they were moderately extensive in number. Generally speaking, the beef trade ruled heavy, at last Thursday's decline in the quotations of 2d. per 81bs. A few very prime lots realised 4s. 10d., but the general top figure for beef was 4s. Bd. per 81bs. The arrivals from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire amounted to 2,290 shorthorns ; from other' parts of Eng land, 400 of various breeds ; from Scotland, 70 Scots ; and from Ireland, 1,000 oxen, &c.—the latter in prime condition. The supply of all breeds of sheep was only moderate. Generally speaking, the mutton trade ruled steady, and late rates were well supported. The best Downs sold at ss. per 81bs. The general condition of the sheep was but middling. Nearly 1,000 had reached us from Ireland. English calves sold steadily ; foreign slowly, at Thursday's currencies.

The general quarterly October sessions commenced this morning at the sessions House, Clerketwell, before Mr. Creasy, the deputy a •311talit judge. The calendar contained the names of 40 prison( rs for trial. Dennis Do:loran was indicted for stealing a pair of boots, th e property of Mr. Barnes, of St. George-street in the East. The prisoner - pleaded not guilty.. The assistant to Mr. Barnes stated that on Saturday last week he heard a jerk at the shop door, and on proceed ing to the street he saw the prisoner running away. Ho pursued him, and finally came up with him when he found him in custody of constable 53 K. The boots were taken from under his jacket. The jury without hesittation found him guilty. Two former convictions having been proved against him, sentence was postponed. _ _ _ Three boys, named Godwin, Roberts, and Tucker, were indicted for stealing a pair of boots, the property of James Carrell, of Chelsea, shoemaker. The two former pleaded not guilty. Tucker pleaded guilty. The offence was clearly proved against Godwin, but there was a doubt with respect to Roberts. The jury found the prisoner Godwin guilty, but acquitted Roberts. Sentence deferred. Thomas Sullivan, labourer, pleaded guilty to an indict ment, charging him with stealing 791bs of lead, the pro perty of her Majesty. Sentenced deferred. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. —( This Day). BOW-STREET. WATCH ROBBERY.—Two flashly-dressed girls, named Selina Berry and Eliza Clerk, were placed before Mr. Jardine charged with stealing a gold watch, the property of a gentleman named Longman. Mr. Longman said, on Saturday night, about half-past eleven, I was passing along Adam-street, Adelphi, when botn the prisoners came up to me and asked me to stand something to drink. I refused to comply, and told them immediately to leave me. This polite request they declined to comply with, but kept on importuning me for drink, and finally they began to push against me. In an instant after this I heard a kind of click, and then I saw my Albert chain fall loosely from my waistcoat pocket.- I immediately ac cused them of stealing my watch, which they stoutly denied, and were about to walk on when I seized hold of the hand of each of them and called loudly for a constable. For some time I could get no assistance, and while I was trying to , obtain aid to convey the girls to the station house, I saw the shorter one (Clerk) pass something to her companion. At this point a police-constable arrived, and then I handed over one of the girls to him, and the other I kept in. hold until another officer arrived, when I gave Berry over to him, and charged them both with robbing me of my watch, a small but very valuable one. Having proceeded to the station house the charge was entered in the police-sheet, and both prisoners searched, but the missing watch was not found on either of them, although they had had no oppor tunity of getting rid of it excepting throwing it away. I was advised at the station-house, as I felt so sure that the prisoners were the persons who had robbed me, to return to the spot where the affair took place, in order to ascertain whether the watch was lying about ; but after a very rigid search of the place, I could discover nothing. Police-constable 3 F said, about the hour mentioned by the prosecutor, I arrived in Adam-street, Adelphi, and found him holding both prisoners by the hand. He charged both of them with having robbed him of his watch, and I accordingly conveyed them to the station. They were searched, but nothing was found upon them. Hearing from the prosecutor that he had searched the spot where the robbery was committed, but that he had not been suc cessful in finding his property, I visited the place the next morning and picked up the ring of a gold watch. Mr. Jardine, to the prosecutor—You are sure you had your watch when the prisoners first spoke to you ? Prosecutor—Yes, your worship, certain. I saw the shorter one pass something, which I presume must have been my watch, to the other. Prisoner—Oh 1 how can you say so ? Mr. Jardine—lt is rather a curious thing that the watch has not been discovered. I shall, in order to afford further time to the police to endeavour to do so, remand both pri soners for a week. STEALING ArrLxs.—A boy, named White, was charged with stealing 18 apples, the property of Mr. Belase°, a salesman in Covent-garden market. Mr. Belasco said on Saturday night, after he had covered up his goods in the market, he happened to be repassing them, when he observed a large hole had been cut in the cloth, and about half a bushel of apples stolen. He went in search of the constable to inform him of the cir cumstance, and on returning to the spot to secure the opening, he saw the prisoner picking up some apples close by it. It was not so much the value of the apples that had induced him to proceed against the boy, as the damage which had been done to the cover-cloth, which had been rendered nearly valueless. Mr. Jardine—l suppose you lose property very often ? Complainant—Your worship can form no idea of the great quantity of fruit that is nightly stolen from the market. In answer to the charge, the boy said he saw the apples lying about, and he did not think there was any harm in putting them in his pocket. He was sent to prison for a week. NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer, we are in formed, will address his constituents at Aylesbury on Wednessday next. Mr. Thomas Baring, M.P., left town on Saturday to visit the Chancellor of the Exchequer at Hughenden manor, Bucks. Prince Alfred reached Balmoral on Tuesday morning from his tour. The young Prince, according to the Court Journal, is much browned by his continental trip, and is looking remarkably well. He shows no signs of taking that upward start and growth which is natural with youths of his age. The Prince of Wales and the Princess Alice both promise to be tall, but Prince Alfred inclines to take after the figure of his sister, the Princess Royal —at least he does so at present. ROYALTY IN A COTTAGE.—The Queen and the Prince Consort visited their romantic hut at Alt na Gusach on Thursday, and passed the night there. This hut or lodge is situated among the hills, and commands most beautiful views of the surrounding scenery. Its accom modations are very limited, and her Majesty is, on these occasions, attended by the smallest possible suite consistent with her personal comfort. It is rather more than an hour's ride or drive from the castle, and is generally visited twice or thrice during the stay of the Court at Balmoral.—Court Journal. ALARMING ILLNESS OF LORD ADOLPHUS VANE TEMPEST, M.P.—We deeply regret to learn that Lord Adol phus Vane Tempest, M.P. for North Durham, was attacked a few days since by alarming syniptoms of nervous excite ment, of so serious a character as to occasion the deepest anxisty to his nearest relatives. The Marchioness (Frances Anne) of Londonderry has come from Garron Tower, her seat in Ireland, owing to the dangerous illness of her son. The Earl Vane arrived in London on Friday morning, from his shooting box in Inverness-shire, in consequence of a telegraphic message urging his early presence in town. The Duke and Duchess of Marlborough have also come to town from Blenheim, in consequence of the illness of his lordship. Yesterday morning the medical bulletin stated his lordship to have passed a good night, and to be some what better. At an advanced hour in the evening we were informed that his lordship continued tranquil, and was much the same. Dr. Henry C. Johnson is in attendance. The condition of Lord Adolphus is one of danger, but the medical gentlemen hold out hopes to the family. THE WEEDON INQUIRY.—The evidence in this inquiry, taken at Weedon on Saturday, resulted in a reso lution on the part of the committee, influenced by the fact of the intricate involvement of the accounts, to adjourn the investigation from Weedon again to London, to be reopened after certain statements of accounts shall have been duly prepared for their inspection and inquiry. The full report is of necessity postponed, in consequence of unusual pres sure on our space. THE HARROW RACE MEETING.—A new race meeting established under the auspices of Mr. E. W. Top ' ham, the Clerk of the Course at Chester, is to be inaugu rated on the beautiful grounds of Mr. Elmore,. at Harrow, on Tuesday and Wednesday next. Great preparations have been made to make this meeting very attractive to the sporting community, and it is expected that the Harrow road will, on the occasion, pres ent quite the appearance of an autumn Derby-day. The lessee gives £6OO to be • competed for, and the stewards are Viscount Clifden, the Earl of Sefton, and Mr. Alderman Copeland. The new course is situated about a mile from the Sudbury station of the London and North-Western Railway, and is about eight miles from town. The programme of sport is well tilled, and we observe that there are fourteen races to be run. Mr. Vandenhoff intimates that the curtain will fall upon him, on the boards of the Theatre Royal, Liver pool, in the character of Cardinal Wolsey. He will give six farewell performances, cominencing with Jnlins Cesar, on Monday, the 19th inst. Mr. Vandenhoff made his first appearance on the stage at this theatre about fifty years ago. 561 7 dARLBOROUGH-STREET. EXTRAORDINARY CIIARGE OF FELONY. - James Nicholls, 14, Clement's-lane, Strand, a clerk, was charged beforo Mr. Beadon, with stealing at 11, Moor-street, Soho, three show-cases containing 1 opera-glass, 1 telescope, 2 thermometers, 30 pairs of spectacles, and a quantity of other property, of the value of £3O. From the evidence of James Jones, optician, of No. 11, Moor-street, Soho, it appeared that while absent on the afternoon of Thursday last from his shop it was broken into, and on his return he missed the articles above-named. The prisoner had been in the habit for some years of visiting him as a friend, and did so on the evening of the robbery, soon after it took place, and expressed his sympathy at his loss, and assisted in making out the list of the lost property. It was only from what he was told that he suspected the prisoner. Lombard, 14 C, said he was informed of the robbery on Thursday last, and had since been making inquiries, and yesterday (Sunday) he was informed that a boy had left a case with some articles answering the description of those stolen at the Bow-street station, and on going there he saw the articles now produced. He then went to the prosecu tor's, and sent another constable for the boy, and on his being brought he at once identified the prisoner, who had called to see prosecutor, as the person who had given him the things on Thursday afternoon. The prisoner was then given in charge, but denied having taken the things, and said he should be able to prove that he was not near the place at the time. He was once convicted of embezzlement, and suffered three months' imprisonment. John Symes, a butcher, living in the service of Mr. Moses, said that, on Thursday afternoon last, the prisoner, who was running at the time near the prosecutor's house, with the case in his hand, made a stumble, and, upset some glasses from the case. He picked them up for him, and asked if he should carry the things for him. He said "yes," and after he had done so for some time the prisoner gave them to him. He told his master, and he advised him to take them to Bow-street, which he did, and gave informa tion to the police. The prisoner said he was not the person, and called a witness who swore distinctly that she was present with the prisoner at his house at the time sworn to by the last witness. Symes said he had no doubt of the prisoner whatever. The prisoner said he had other witnesses, but they were not present. Remanded. THAMES• TAE MAYOR OF MELBOURNE BESIEGED BY WOULD-BE NEEDY RELATIVES.—This morning, on Mr. Self° taking his seat upon the bench, for the first time since the adjourn ment of the inquiry upon which he was engaged at Weedon, he put into the hands of our reporter two letters he had received—one from Mr. John Thomas Smith, the Mayor of Melbourne, now staying at Morley's Hotel, and the other from Mr. Horn, his secretary—in relation to the application of a woman named Margaret Hall. Mr s. Hall, who is the wife of a mechanic, and the mo ther of a family, is the daughter of an aged woman named Smith, in an inmato of Captain Cook's Almshouses Shadwell, and she stated that her brother, John Thomas Smith, who was educated in a Sunday school in the neighbourhood of Stratford, was formerly an appren tice to the sea service, and subsequently chief mate and captain of a ship ; but he left England about 16 years ago and settled in Australia, and that she heard no more of him until about three weeks age, when the mayor of Mel bourne, who announced himself as John Thomas Smith, waited upon her, announced himself as her long lost brother, kissed his niece, her daughter, and invited her to Morley's Hotel, to which place she proceeded next day, with her eldest daughter, son, and. mother. Sh e saw th e mayor and his secretary, and her mother was asked if she could recognise the features of the mayor as her son. The old woman replied that she could not recognise a single feature, and he then dismissed them with a contribution of two guineas for the Merchant Seamen's Orphan Asylum, and a sovereign for the boy who is being educated in that institution. Mrs. Ha.ll expressed a belief that the Mayor of Melbourne was her brother, and that, finding her and her mother very needy, had repudiated them. If he was not her brother he had no right to kiss her youngest daughter and attempt to kiss her eldest daughter in Morley's Hotel. Mr. Selfe thought there was no great harm in a gentle man kissing a pretty girl if she was willing, and said he would write to the Mayor of Melbourne, and let Mrs. Hall know the result of his inquiries. _ . Mr. Selfe (addressing our reporter) said it appeared to him that INlrs. Hall was labouring under Some delusion, as world appear fi om the letters to which he called the re porter's attention. The letter from Mr. Smith was as follows : " Morley's Hotel, Oct. 2, 1858. " Sir,—As my secretary, Mr. Horn, was witlime on the occasion of my visit to Mrs. Hall, I have requested him to communicate with you on the subject of your note of this day's date, to remove the impression you ap pear to entertain that there may be some foundation for the statement of Mrs. Hall, that lam her brother. I called on Mrs. Hall, in consequence of her letter forwarded to me in Melbourne, in order to remove the impression she appeared to have entertained, and. I most distinctly informed her that I.was not her brother, and upon a second occasion .when she:called upon me with her mother, I also assured both of their mistake. I stated then, as I do now, that I was born in Sydney, New South Wales, and that my mother (who died some three years since) was also a native of that colony, and that this is my first visit to this part of the world. I was born on the 27th of April, 1816, in Phillips street, Sydney, New South Wales, and have been for the last 20 years a resident in Victoria. I distinctly informed Mrs. Hall of the object of my visit to her, which was to assist her in every way possible, on my return in November next to Melbourne, to find her brother, and I informed her of my knowing a person in that colony of the same name. I gave her my card, so that she might find my address in London, and give me all the i n f orma ti on i n h er power with regard to her brother, in order to aid the in the search, and birt a few days since Mrs. Hall's mother wrote to me again on the subject if I was her son, when I in structed my sec re t ary to write her back that' I was not, that I had assured her before I was not, and that she must not write to me again. I can only account for this annoy ance from the fact of my having given the old lady's son a sovereign on the day he called with his mother, to buy him books, and giving the mother £2 towards the Sailors' Orphan's Home, to which she begged a donation. Mrs. Hall's claim to relationship is but one of four that has reached me • since my arrival, and, singular; all the claimants are in needy circumstances. Mr: H. will furnish you with any other information you may desire.—Yours- obediently, " J. T: SMITH, Mayor of Melbourne. " To H. S. Selfe, Esq., Thames Police -court." With the letter of the Mayor the following document with its enclosure came to hand : " 11, Baker-street, Portman-square, Sept. 30, 1858. " Worshipful Sir,—By direction of the Mayor of Mel bourne,- I this morning called at the ThameS Police-court, and finding that you had left town, I have the honour to enclose a communication in reference to Mrs. Hall. I will again call at the Thames Police-court on your return to London.—l am, worshipful sir , your obedient servant,' " H. Selfe, Esq." " JAMES HORN, Sec. The enclosure was as follows : " John Thomas Smith, Mayor of Melbourne, and Mem ber of the Legislative Assembly of Victoria, hereby most solemnly and sincerely declares that he was born in Sydney, New South Wales, in the year 1816; that his mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Smith, was alsolborn in the same colony ; that his father, John Smith, is now a resident living, in the said colony, and that he, the said John Thomas Smith, arrived in England, for the first time, on the Bth day of September last, and, therefore, that he is not, nor did he ever say that he was, the brother of a Mrs. Hall. I make this solemn declaration, knowing the same to be true, and by virtue of an act of the Governor and Council of New South Wales, substituting declarations for oaths, this 29th day of September, 18.58.—J. T. SMITH, Mayor of Mel bourne, J. P., and M. L. A." ECONOMY IN TRE WORKING OF RAILWAYS. Some very interesting experiments have been made on the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolver hampton Railway, in order to testify the efficacy of Mr. Edward Wilson's smoke-consuming appa ratus. Mr. Wilson, it may be well to state, is engi neer of the above company, and has devoted much of his time to the perfection of an invention which, from ocular demonstration, we feel no hesitation in affirming is most successful, and by railway com panies must be received as a boon of no ordinary magnitude. By virtue of an Act of Parliament smoke is strictly prohibited on all our railways, and, conse quently, railway companies generally are compelled to use coke instead of coal. The former, as is well known, costs considerably more than the latter, while in some districts, especially that through which the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway runs, coal can even be obtained at one fifth the cost of coke. It is needless to point out the formidable items, under the head of fuel, that appear in the various balance-sheets of the different railway companies; and the great saving that 4to would be effected if coal could be generall i used in lieu of coke is apparent. Scientific , di;;_ rected their attention to this fact • Wm) to time various inventions for consundi stnoke have been brought before the public ; but either on the --` ground of expense or the rapidity with which the apparatus has fallen out of repair, none previous to that now introduced by Mr. Wilson has met with any general approbation and coke has continued to be used. To test by experiments the advantages of the invention, we started from Woraester on an engine to which it had been applied about twelve months ago, at the small cost of £4 17s. ; and since that time the locomotive has travelled upwards of 25,000 miles without any repairs to the apparatus being rendered necessary. To the engine were attached 13 waggons heavily laden with - coal, one first-class carriage, and a heavy goods break van. The distance ran was 58 miles, being from Worcester to More ton and back, and the coal used was what in the neighbourhood is known as South Staffordshire common black coal, and is obtained at the small cost of 6s. Bd. per ton ; - while the price of coke at the present time is 245. per ton. Besides the dif ference in price, it is worthy of remark, that until used in engines with the smoke-consuming appara tus attached, this description of coal was considered useless, and was thrown aside at the pit's mouth. The quantity used in the experiment was 15cwt. 2qrs., being at the rate of 301 b. per mile; and during the whole journey there was a total ab sence of that unpleasant smell of sulphur (emitted from coke) with which all railway travellers are familiar. In the distance passed over there are several sharp curves and heavy gradients, one of which is lin 100 for 6 miles. The steam was blow ing off at the safety valves at 1201 b. pressure the whole way, and the speed averaged 251 miles per hour ; at no time, even on the heavy banks, was it less than about 20 miles per hour. - With respect to the effect of the smoke-burner, we have no hesita tion in saying it was as perfect as it is possible to conceive any human appliance to be. There hardly ever appeared the smallest trace of smoke with the steam issuing from the chimney, and the combustion in the fire-box was the most perfect we ever saw, the front portion of the fire-box above the fuel being filled with one mass of intense white flame.. That we might have the opportunity of judgmb , of what was due to the smoke-burner, Mr. Wilson had it put out of action, when we were immediately enveloped in such a volume of smoke that all with one accord gasped forth entreaties that the kindly offices of the apparatus should b e aga i n enlisted to deliver us from our misery, and when our supplications were heard the effect was almost magical - . At once the hideous cloud passed and the snowy wreaths of steam again floated through the pure air. This experiment was re peated several times with the same result, tending much more to our conviction than to our comfort. Having found at length the desideratum of a real smoke-burner, we cannot refrain offering a few re marks upon its importance ; for, putting out of sight the question of comfort and cleanliness, we do not thuik we arc over-estimating its valne when we say that it must be a great national benefit, as well as affording an immense pecuniary advantage to those who employ the giant power—steam. It takes, we believe, about two tons of coal to produce one ton of coke, which is the fuel used for locomotive engines, when the smoke of coal cannot be consumed ; and it takes about the same weight of eoke to work an engine as of coal. It follows, therefore, that by the use of coal, for every- ton consumed for locomotive engines a ton would be saved. Now, we may assume that there are in the United Kingdom about 5,000 engines working, say 300 days in the year, and that each would consume about *tons of coal a day, which will give an aggre gate for a year of 3,700,000 tons consumed, which ton, X 1 ,87 5,000, an d o f course th e same amount saved. Thi s wou ld a ff o rd m•o ul d at quantity l o a or about t per cent. on the capital of the railways of the kingdom —no despicable p ro fit as dividends go —and at the same time it would leave 3,750,000 tons of " black diamonds" unconsumed of that di minishing but valuable commodity of the nation's wealth. Viewing the subject in so broad a light, we thing that it is but public justice to Mr. Wil son to show that he is justly entitled to, at least, the merit of being the first to introduce a cheap and efficient means for consuming smoke in loco motive engines. HORRID DEATH.—On Friday morning Mr. F. S. Langham, the deputy coroner for Westminster, received information of the death of Charles Grinham, aged 23 years, who resided in Arundel-court, Haymarket. It appears the deceased was cleaning windows, when he slipped and fell on the spikes below, which entered his body. Ho was extri cated from his frightful position and conveyed in most ex cruciating pain to Charing-cross Hospital, where Mr. S. Keggs, house surgeon, rendered every assistance till death terminated his sufferings. MURDEROUS AFFRAY ON BOARD SHIP.—CALLAO, August 25.—The ship Oceanica, Captain Robertson,.on tilne 13th inst., in getting under weigh, the vesselffibcce'irn , being in charge of Captain Todd, the pilot, the 01 Crisp, refused duty, at the same time using abusive and in t 4 • informed. salting language. Upon this thepilot immemaii.coL any one Mr. Crisp he would not take such langu e a ig it e with a 'blow, with impunity, and enforced his statep d t ce r his appeare o which Mr. Crisp got across the fa • a signal to the whole of the crew, who came aft and com and menced an indiscriminate fi g ht, where knives belaying pins were pretty freely used, which lasted a considerable time, until Captain Robertson, Mr. Campbell, chief officer, and several othe r - cap t a i n s, finally succeeded in quelling it. Vpon quiet beimg restored it was found that quite a number . had broken , en heads and faces also Ir. Campbell, the mate, had his throat cut with a sheath knife. Medical assistance N%• -promptly obtained from H.B.M.'s ship Ganges ; the doctor reports the wound a very bad one, but not dangerous. The whole affair has since been investigated by 11.8.M.'s consul and Admiral Baines. Mr. Crisp has been discharged, and the ship finally sailed on the evening of the 16th iast., for QucciAown, deta!ned three days. r ,r.
