Carl de Mayer, had resigned. Prom. information received to. day, however, it ap pears that there has been no such difference what ever, while as regards M. Carl de Mayer he has not resigned, but has simply-taken leave of absence for few months owing to bad health.

It is true that Gould asked the Secretary of the Treasury to lend him $BOO,OOO, when deeply engaged in the speculation by which he hoped to smash Wall street and disorganise the trade of the country. The man could not be said to be wanting in impudence who did that ; but no sooner was the story made known which endangered the position in the estimation of the public of James Fisk, junior, than another transpired, which in stantly restored that worthy to his high place. As told by the President, it appears that, while on his load w New port, Mr. Fisk came on board the steamer at New York. Ho informed General Grant that Gould had sent him to ask for a little private intimation how the Administration would act on the financial question. The President, who probably did not fully grasp the nature of the application, instead of ordering some of the crew to throw him out of his own boat, informed him that such information would not be fair. To which Fisk readily assented, perhaps with a smile, at the simplicity of the renowned soldier. General Grant added, that whenever the Administration was going to change its action or policy, the Secretary of the Trea sury would give notice through the newspapers as usual, so that everybody might at the same time know what it was, thus excluding any possible charge of favouritism.

This morning Mr. Carter, the Surrey coroner, resumed, at the Newington Workhouse, the inquest on the bodies of the four persons destroyed in the late fire at Newington Butts, on the 10th inst. The inquest had been adjourned for the attendance of the servant girl, who lay seriously injured in St. Thomas's Hospital, and for other evidence to be procured as to how the fire originated. The witness could throw no additional light on the matter, and the jury returned a verdict of accidental death. CONVICTION OF A WELSH MANU FACTURER. At the Montgomeryshire Quarter Sessions, held at Welsh pool, on Friday, before the Earl of Powis, Mr. C. W. W. Wynn, M.P., the Hon. 0, R. D. Hanbury-Tncey, M.P., and a full bench of rnagistrate3, Mr. E. Jones, a woollen manufac turer, recently engaged in a large trade, and occupying a most respectable position in the county of Montgomery, surrendered to his recag,nisances on a charge of receiving a quantity of wool, well knowing the same to have been stolen. The jury, after a brief consultation, found the prisoner guilty, and ho was sentenced to four months' imprisonment with hard labour. FAILURE OF THE WHALE FISHING'. The Dundee Advertiser says :—" The steamship Polynia, commanded by Captain William Walker, and belonging to the Dundee Seal and Whale Fishing Company ; has arrived from the Davis' Straits whale fishing. The Polynia brings (says our contemporary) home two common whales and forty-one white whales, which, it is calculated, will yield about twenty-six tons of oil. Prom the news which this vessel brings, it is to be feared that the whale fishing at Davis' Straits this year has proved almost a complete failure, It has undoubtedly been one of the most unfor tunate seasons for the whalers that has occurred for• a long time; for, as far as can be learned in the meantime, the few tons brought home by the Polynia will exhibit the total catch of the entire flzet of some dozen ships hailing from Dundee. TRADE AND FINANCE. While we hear and road so much• of the discouraging prospects of the cotton trade in England and America, it is with no little satisfaction that wo are able to turn to a more pleasing view of the question. A very great change is passing over the cultivation of 'cotton in the Southern States of America. Previously to the war it was the custom to force the capabilities of the land to their utmost extent, and a system of " cropping" was year by year resorted to. This barbarous system could have but one result, and accordingly it was found that the plan of sweating the land without ever returning anything to it was one that even the rich acres of the South were unable to contend against. But land was cheap, and when the soil was exhaurted in one quarter, resort was had to another, so that the mis chief was widespread, notwithstanding the slow, ex haustive nature of the cotton plant. Since the war, how ever, the rapid curtailment of the labour market has in duced the planters to look for a greater return per acre on the cotton lands, and as „this was not to be expected without a proportionately increased atten tion on the part of the contlactors,the use of fertilizers has become more frequent. The press has accordingly been agitated with questions Us to the efficacy of particular measures, and as to the depth to which ploughing should or should not be carried. Steam cultivation is being gene rally advocated, and although its adoption must neces sarilybe a work of time, it is probable that the progress of the United States in this direction will rival that of older nations. It is very evident that under the new system the yield of cotton per acre will be vastly greater than under the old. And more than this, it may be taken for granted that the quality of the staple will improve in propor tion to the increased attention bestowed upon its cultivation. We have, therefore, every reason to con gratulate ourselves upon the course of events in this parti cular. A very favourable feature is connected with the labour market itself which has hitherto presented appa rently insuperable difficulties. The Chinese immigration has continued on a very extensive scale, and the new source of labour bids fair to supply the wants of the market, and to render it, in some degree, independent of the freedmen. It may be remarked, too, that the improved system of cultivation will require additional intelligence in the labourer, which the Chinese, from their peculiar national character as a purely agricultural nation, are well adapted to supply. Some little time must elapse, however, before the Chinese become para mount in the labour market, but probably every year will bring us nearer to this desirable consummation. In any event wo may safely assert that the cultivation of cotton in the states will in future be carried on on very different principles, and that the quality will probably shew for the future very different results to those of past years. We do not mean to convey that this will meet the wants of Lancashire, but as a permanent improvement in the market it is difficult to over-estimate its importance. It was rumoured in Westminster Hall on Saturday that Vice-Chancellor James had been appointed Lord Justice in the place of the late Sir Charles Selwyn. There bas been a fresh outbreak of the cattle plague in Southern Russ:a, and in Galicia the disease still prevails. The Dover Express mentions a rumour that the South Eastern Railway Company, and the London, Chat ham, and Dover Railway Company, are the successful com petitors for the carriage of her Majesty's mails to Calais. At the petty sessions at Longtown, Cumberland, on Thursday, Mr. Francis B. Graham, surgeon, was fined ss. and costs for unlawfully selling a quantity of prussic acid without labelling the bottle with the word "poison." The Beverley Commissioners on Friday refused expenses to a witness because he could not remember the names of voters to whom he paid money four years ago. They also rejected the evidence of another witness, who stated that the Conservative manager at the Gas Works dismissed a number of men who would not vote for Sir H. Edwards. The New York correspondent of the Irishman writes that there is no ground for the lingering suspicion that the Fenian, "Edward Martin," was, after all, one of the two men rescued from the Manchester prison van. Ile tells us that Deasy is living in Boston, and that Kelly was married at New York on the very day on which the report reached that city that ho was lying in a dying state at King's College Hospital. The transfer of Mr. Stephenson from the chairman ship of the Board of Inland Revenue to the permanent secre tarysbip of the Treasury is stated to Lave been finally deter ruined on. Many conflicting rumours are afloat regarding his probable succeFsor. But that which seems to gain most credence (says the Maachester Guardian) generally assigns the vacant chair to Mr. Scudamore, whose active and sug gestive services in connection with the Post office and the telegraphs aro known to have been highly estimated by the late Administration as well as the present. In reference to the European Insurance Office the London Scotsman makes the following statement: —"W e are informed that it Las been determined on the part of one of the petitioners to take an appeal against the late decision of the Vice-Chancellor, dismissing the petitions for the wind ing up of the European Insurance Society; and that Sir Roundell Palmer has been retained by the petitioner, while the Attorney-General holds a retainer on behalf of the society. But it may depend, wo aro told, on certain con tlngmcim whether the appeal will bo versevered with." SPORTING NOTES. The Cambridgeshire, the last of the great handi caps, will be decided to-morrow. The following are the probable starters and jockeys :-- Jockey. Sir J. Hawley's Rosicrucian ... Wells. Count Batthyany's Typhoeus Mortis. Mr. Hodgman's Van Amburgh Fordham. Mr. Bowes's Taraban Grimshaw. Sir F. Johnstone's Bel Giorno... ... Cannon. Count F. de Lagrange's Perry Down... Butler. Mr. Feaster's La ly Zetlaud Uhaloner. Mr. Delatro's Cerdagne... A. Carrott.

Lord Rendlesham's Royal Rake .... Jewitt. Colonel Astley'a Provider Pl a tt, Mr. Hodgman's Veatminster ... Wilson. Mr. Naylor's Cherie ... F. Webb. Lord Wilton's Sylva Gradwell. Sir C. Legard's Turret ... ... Walling. Prior has been the reigning favourite, and may win, but [ certainly prefer public form to private. Cherie will nearly win, as she won the Cesarewitch in a canter. Sylva is another that will run well, if not win. Far Away is in a stable where her capabilities can be well measured, and she has every appearance at present of being a very genuine candidate. `Typhoeus has an undeniable chance if all goes well with him up to the time of starting, although he is not the soundest horse in the world, and may possibly " crack" before the eventual hour arrives. Lord Westmorland is almost certain to have a great favourite, and Miss Dayrell is talked about in clever quarters as having more than an outside chance. Defender and Vestminster have both been heavily backed, but I do not think much of either's chance, although one of them might run into a place. Rosicrucian ran so bad in the October Handicap that I cannot stand him. Taraban is still backed, but I think he is too slow. In conclusion I must anticipate the judge's decision by placing CHERIE SYLVA 2 PRIOR or FAR AWAY 3 Sunlight will win the 200 Soya Sweepstakes, and Parva will win his match with Nilsson. The re mainder of the week will be taken up with matches, Nurseries, and Free handicaps, the weights for which are not yet published. A FRESH MAN. CEN7RAL CRIMINAL COURT—(This Day) The October session commenced this morning at the Old Bailey. The Common Sergeant, in charging the grand jury, expressed his regret that the calendar con tained the names of four persons charged with wilful murder, in addition to which there were other cases of a very serious nature. There was some, however, that presented many legal diffi culties. The grand jury having retired for a short time, the real business of the session commenced. THE WOOLWICH DOCKYARD CASE• William Joncs, who was indicted with another person last session, charged with stealing a quan tity of Government stores from Woolwich Dock yard, and acquitted, was placed in the dock to answer other indictments that had been preferred against him, but Mr. Metcalf, on the part of the Attorney- General, said it bad been decided not to offer any evidence against the defendant after the decision of the jury in the first case ; The Common Sergeant at once ordered the defendant to be discharged from custody. CHARGE OF PROMOTING A BUBBLE COMPANY. Charles and George Webb were indicted for un lawfully conspiring together to obtain, and obtain ing, a quantity of plate glass from Samuel Noate with intent to defraud. From the evidence it appeared that a company was started by the defendants under the title of the London and Provincial Plate Glass Company, and their policies were issued and goods obtained with out, as the learned counsel for the proseculion said, the least ability to meet their engagements. The defence set up was that the defendants merely acted for other persons. Th jury had not returned their verdict when we went to press. POLICE IIV7'ELLIGE.NCE.-71,is Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THE HYDE-PARK DEMONSTRATION.—WATCH ROME RIES.—Francis Downs, a young man, was charged Leforo Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a silver watch of the value of £4 155., the property of James Maloney, while in Hyde park yesterday afternoon. Prosecutor said ho was at the Fenian demonstration yesterday, and just as they were about leaving the park the prisoner took his watch, and some of tho prisoner's companions got on each sicli lira and prevented him getting the watch out of the prisoner's hand in which he saw it. He called out and held the prisoner till assistance came. He thought the prisoner put the watch into his trousers' pocket, bur instead of doing so he had no doubt he passed it to some one. James Daly, detective of the T division, said about three o'clock yesterday afternoon he saw the prisoner with two others going into the park, and watched them, and just as the procession was leaving saw them surround the prosecutor, and afterwards saw the prosecutor holding the prisoner, and as soon as he could took him into cus tody. In answer to the prisoner, the officer said ho supposed he prisoner and his companions were there to see what they could get. The prisoner said that the constable did not appear to have been very active or ho would have taken him at once. The prisoner, who conducted himself in a rather im pudent manner was remanded, it being stated that he had been charged at the court before. A second charge of watch stealing was next heard, Alexander Jones being charged with stealing the watch of Michael Mackay, while in Hyde-park yesterday afternoon. The prosecutor,who is engaged at a market gardener's, at Mortlake, having given evidence, Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded him. WESTMINSTER. DoMESTic ANNOYANCES.—Jane Smith, a young woman was charged with unlawfully ringing the bell at the house of Mr. G. Harcourt, 35, St. George's-square, Pimlico. The Complainant said that he very much regretted to have occasion to come forward with a charge of this description. Defendant on Saturday night would persist in ringing the door bell for an hour and a half, and no remonstrance would induce her to desist. Under such circumstances he had no alternative but to give her into custody. Defendant said that she left Mr. Harcourt's house in boots usually worn indoors, and as Saturday night turned out wet she went back to the house for her thick boots and rung the bell, thinking the servant would give them to her. She had no desire to annoy Mr. Harcourt. Defendant was ordered to enter into her recognisances to keep the peace. THAMES. BROTHERLY LOVE.—Two brothers, named John and Joseph Mitchell, appeared before Mr. Paget, the former as complainant, the other as defendant. The magistrate asked them if they really intended to make their differences public? to which they replied, " Yes, yes." Mr. Paget—Now, go out and shake hands and act like brothers towards each other. The peaceable counsels of the magistrate did not pre vail, and the complainant, a young man with a surgical plaster under his left eye, said he went to his brother's house on Saturday to ask him what reports he bad spread about him, to which he could obtain no answer. His brother hit him, and he returned the blow, on which the defendant stabbed him on the face with a sharp instru ment, and caused him to bleed profusely. His brother said he would cut his liver out and blind him, strangle his mother, and rip open his sister. Mr. Paget -Well, those threats are very sanguinary. hat have you to say, defendant ? Joseph Mitchell said his brother and mother came to his house, and the latter was provided with a handful of pepper to throw in his eyes and blind him, and a huge stick with a handle to it as big as his two fists. He fought with his brother, who got the worst of it. A lad con firmed this account, and said the two brothers were boiler makers, and fought several rounds. The injury on the eye was inflicted with the defendant's fist. After a violent scene of crimivation and recrimination—one brother ac cusing the other of living on his wife's prostitution, and the other retorting that his brother was a thief—Mr. Paget said that this was the most disgraceful quarrel ho had ever heard, and held the parties in their own personal recog nisances to keep the peace towards each other, and they left the court.
