Scott, notwithstanding that he is a namesake of the Great Unknown, is a native of Paris, although of Caledonian descent. Occupied since the age of sixteen as corrector for the pres s , the reading of scientific works had fallen more osPecially to his lot, and it was while studying a description of the human ear that the idea occurred to him that it was possible to construct an enlarged instrument on the same principles, furnished with the necessary adjustments, so as to form a clear trace of whatever sound the instru ment heard. In order to put into execution the brilliant idea thus conceived, four years of patience and more than 1,500 experiments were necessary After taking out letters Patent for the protection of his invention, ho communicated his labours to the Societe d'Encouragement de l'lndustrie, as well as to the Circle de la Presse Scientifique, and to different savants end journalist.

THIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. The leading provincial markets held on Saturday were but moderately supplied with wheat, in which a fair aver age business was doing, at very full prices, to, in some in stances, a slight advance. Barley, and nearly all other kinds of spring corn, including flour, were firm, but not dearer. Throughout the Continent, produce generally is held at full quotations; but the demand on English account has been far from active. In the United States prices still currencies. Last week's imports were confined to 927 bales from the Cape. fluctuate. The arrivals of English produce up to our market last week were only moderate, but the imports from abroad were liberal, viz., 27,081 qrs wheat, 5,013 barley, 60,302 oats, 2 rye, 1,435 beans, 629 peas, 10,688 linseed, 2,612 rapeseed, 1,240 sundry seeds, and 8 sacks flour. Fresh up to-day, coastwise and by land carriage, only a moderate supply of wheat came to hand both from Essex and Kent. The general quality of samples was by no means first-rate, and the demand for nearly all descriptions was somewhat inactive, at last Monday's currency. The attendance of millers was by no means numerous, and no disposition was shown to purchase English wheat beyond present wants. Wo were somewhat extensively supplied with foreign wheats. Even the finest samples were much less active than on Monday last ; but, compared with that day, no change took place in prices. Floating cargoes of grain sold on former terms; but the demand for them was by no means active. There was a good demand for nearly all kinds of barely, at fully previous rates. The show of malting parcels was limited. The malt trade was in a sluggish state, nevertheless prices were supported. Although the arrivals of foreign oats were large, the demand ruled steady, at full quotations. We have to report a slow inquiry for beans and peas, at about last week's currency. _ . . . . Flour was firm in price, but the business doing in it was by no means extensive. CURRENCY PER IMPERTAL MEASURE.

An inereased number of beasts, in somewhat improved condition, was received fresh up from our own grazing dis tricts, when compared with Monday last. Although there was less activity in the demand for most breeds, prices were fairly supported—the general top figure for boef being 4s 10d per 811. The arrivals from Lincolnshire, Leicostershire, and Nor thamptonshire amounted to 2,500 short horns and crosses; from other parts of England 400 of various breeds ; from Scotland 149 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland 412 oxen and heifers. The'supply of sheep was rather on the increase, and the condition of most breeds exhibited a slight improvement. Choice Downs and half-breeds changed hands steadily at full currencies, viz., 5s 2(1 per 81bs. Other descriptions of sheep were a slow inquiry, but not cheaper. The few calves in the market were taken off readily at 4d per 81bs. above Thursday's currency—the top figure being 5s 4d per 81bs. On tho whole a fair average business was transacted in pigs, the supply of which was tolerably good, at full quo tations to a slight advance. Per 81bs. to sink the offal. _ _ d. s. d.

UNPROVOKED ASSAULT IN A COFFEE •HOUSE.—Ho norah Holland, who was only liberated on Saturday, hav ing been committal for 7 days for demolishing a window, was charged with the following savage and unprovoked assault :-- Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap peared for the complainant. Mrs. Sarah Edwards, of 7 Great Castle-street, coffee house keeper, said that on Saturday night the prisoner en tered her house, and not liking her appearance, owing to her having a black eye, she ordered her to leave. She did so, but immediately rushed in at another door and seized her by the hair of her head, pulling out a handful, tore and bruised her arms, and had it not been for assistance oppor tunely arriving she had no doubt she would have been very severely injured. Prisonor said she know nothing about it. Sho had boen drinking, and didn't know that she was locked up till she found herself next morning in the station. Mr. Beadon said it was a most outrageous thing to go and assault a female in such a manner, and in her own place, too. Mr. Lewis said he must ask protection for his client, who had never seen the prisoner before, as she had been threat ened by some of the prisoner's friends that if she appeared against her they would serve her much worse. Mr. Beadon said he should fine her 40s. or a month ; and if any of her friends attempted to touch the complainant they might depend upon it that they would have the severest punishment ho could give them. The prisoner, who has frequently been in custody of the police, is said to be a woman of very violent temper. THAMES. DARIXG HIGHWAY ROISBERY.—Timothy Lynch, an active young thief, was brought up on remand charged With stealing a silver watch from the person of Mr. George Leonard, beer seller, of the " Old House at Home," No. lig, Upper East Smithfield. A great number of watch robberies have been committed in the district of this court during the past year, and such is the daring and activity of the numerous street thieves, that it has become absolutely dangerous for persons to wear watches at all, and they must keep a sharp look-out to preserve them while passing through many parts of Whitechapel, St. George-in-the- East, Stepney, Shad well, Limehouse, and Poplar. .There have been numerous convictions for watch robberies both by magistrates and juries, but the evil has not abated. Mr. Leonard, the prosecutor in this case was robbed in a very daring manner, on Wednesday last between three and four o'clock in the afternoon. He was passing a large sugar house in Dock street, Whitechapel, when the prisoner, who was accom panied by some very rough characters, rushed upon him in front, snatched his watch from his pocket, and ran away with it down a narrow court filled with loose women and dangerous characters, and where it would have been dan gerous for Mr. Leonard to have followed the prisoner. His companions, who surrounded Mr. Leonard when he committed the robbery, also made their escape. On the same day Francis Kelly a police-constable No. 130 H, went in search of the prisoner, and found him in a low lodging-house in Rosemary-lane, in company with several notorious thieves. Kelly said, " I want you for stealing a silver watch." The prisoner said he did not do it. He was taken into custody, and on reaching the station-house he said to the prosecutor, "Pray forgive me, master, forgive me this time." Kelly said the prisoner was not 17 years of age, and had been the associate of thieves for several years. Doeble, a detective officer, said the prisoner was sum marily convicted of felony a year ago, and had been in custody since for axother robbery and escaped conviction. The prisoner said he was guilty of the robbery, and wished the case to be settled at onco. He was at onto sentenced to six months' imprisonment and hard labour. THE GREA T EASTERN. Notwithstanding all the rumours and - confident assertion to the contrary, the announcement made that the great ship would before the end of the pre sent month be far upon her voyage to the United States will be found to be correct. As at present decided, the vessel will leave Holyhead on Monday, the 24th instant. There may be a short delay beyond this date, but it will not ex tend to more than a day or two. The cause of this delay, if any, will arise from the inspection of the ship and engines, in accordance with the terms of the contract with Mr. Russell previous to their ac ceptance by the company. The contract nominated Mr. Fowler, C.E., and Mr. M'Lean, C.E., arbi trators to decide upon matters that might arise in dispute between the company and the contractors. These gentlemen have now commenced their exa mination, and have appointed Mr. Hawkshaw, C.E., as referee. Mr. Jordan and Mr. Bailey have been requested to survey the ship, and they have requested Mr. Paterson, the builder of the Great Western and many other ships at Bristol, to assist them in the survey. The directors are, it is stated, satisfied with the performance of the ship on the late trial trip, No official report has yet been re ceived by the board, either from the captain or the engineers in charge. Some very extraordinary notions have been indulged in respecting the speed which the ship was to make, very far exceeding the anticipations and calculations of Mr. Brunel, to whom the great ship owes its origin. A short time only before his death he stated most distinctly to some persons who were talking of the ship's making 20 knots that she would do nething of the kind; that she was never designed for such a high rate of speed, and that his calculations were that she would make the voyage from England to Calcutta in from 32 to 36 days. This he stated, in the most confident manner, she would accomplish, the late of speed required for that purpose being only from 14 to 14,-I knots per hour.—Observer. THIS DAY'S SHIPPING.

LONDON AND B LA.CKWALL RAILWAY.—It appears that the arrangements have been concluded for the con struction of goods stations on this line for the Great Northern and Midland Railway Companies, by means of which a large additional goods traffic from the lines of those companies is expected to be brought on the Blackwall Railway. LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN AND CALE DONIAN RAILWAYS. —lt was reported in the city on Satur day that an amalgamation is contemplated between the Caledonian and the London and North-Western Railway Companies, 1855. .71IE 11:4 The screw steamship Nile, 91, Captain A. P. E. Wilmot, C. 8., sailed from Plymouth on Saturday for the West Indies. The paddle-wheel steam tender Avon, 3, G. Day Second Master, from Portsmouth, arrived on Satur day at Plymouth with seamen for various ships there. The Snake, 4, screw steam gunvessel, Commander Henry Harvey, and the Renard, 4, screw steam gunvessel, Commanchr James G. Goodenough, both left Spithcad yesterday for the China station. The Portuguese man-of-war Sagres passed the Wight on Thursday, on her way to Lisbon. The screw steam despatch vessel Flying Fish, 6, Commander Hope, steamed on Friday from Hamo aze into Plymouth Sound. The screw steam-frigate Amphion, 36, Captain Thomas Cochrane, from Portsmouth, arrived in Plymouth on Friday, and saluted the flag of the Port Admiral. The Ringdove, 6, screw, Commander Craigie, steamed out of Portsmouth harbour on Friday to the trial ground in Stokes' Bay, to test machinery and speed at the measured mile. The results, under very unfavourable circumstances of weather, gave the vessel an average speed. of 10.398 knots, ma chinery working well, with a good supplforsteam. After the trial the Ringdove returned into harbour and berthed in her old position, alongside the south jetty of the dockyard. The Turkish screw steamship Shadia, 90, left Plymouth on Friday for Constantinople. When passing through the Sound she hoisted the British ensign, and fired a salute of 21 guns.

The Wesel, steam vessel, commissioned last week by Commander Raby for service in the River Plate, is ordered to have a crew of 70 officers and men. NEW GUN BoArs.—An order from the Admiralty was received on Saturday by the captain superin tendsnt, Capt. George Goldsmith, C. 8., for two gun boats to be built at Chatham Dockyard. They arc ` to be named the Torch and Plover; they are in tended to carry one pivot . gun of 95 cwt., and two long 68-pounders. The following appointments were made on Satur day at the Admiralty :-,-Commander S. Skipwith, to the Prometheus, commissioned ; Thomas Hart, master additional, to the Fisgard • W. H. Fawch mer, master additi onu l, t o the Wellington ; John Andrews (b), surgeon superintendent to the Sir John Lawrence convict ship ; J. A. Kite, acting second-class assist-engineer, to the Nile; W. Walker, acting third• class assist.-bngineer, to the Welling ton, as supernumerary ; D. Dunn, acting third-class assist.-engineer, to the Asia, as supernumerary ; and J. Robertson, acting third-class assist.-engineer, to the Wellington, as supernumerary. THE ARM The long-expected military night display at Portsmouth took place on Friday evening, but merely resulted in a fierce cannonading of some half hour's duration from the sea face of the works com manding the entrance to , POrtsmouth harbour. No demonstration by troops on Southsea-common or by landing parties on the beach took place, as on a former occasion, the only object sought to be at tained being to ascertain the length of time it would take to summon the men from their barracks and man the different batteries by an unexpected alarm at night. As arranged, none besides the General commanding, with his staff, were supposed to know the precise time that had been fixed upon for the purpose. At 10 p.m. on Friday . evening Major- General Sir J. Yorke Searlett, K.C.B. accompa nied by Colonel Lake, C. 8., took up his position on the stone tower on which formerly stood the semaphore, but now forming a platform for long 32-pounders. Shortly afterwards three guns fired in quick succession gave forth the expected alarm signal, and the tramp of troops at the " double" was quickly heard through the quiet streets of the old town as the artillerymen hurried to their posts. A single gun from the different points of the forti fications—Southsea Castle, Spur Redoubt, Point Battery, Blockhouse Fort, and Fort Monckton— soon afterwards told that all were ready and at their posts. Two more guns from the King's Bas tion gave signal to open fire, which was instantly responded to from 75 guns, 6 and 8-inch, the majo rity of them of the latter calibre. The effect to a certain extent was very grand; but a bright moon light night and the absence of wind, which caused the smoke to hang round the faces of the batteries, detracted much from what, no doubt, would other wise have been a magnificent spectacle. Blockhouse and M °nekton Forts, as seen from Southsea•common, were " veiled in vapour," the edges of which were fringed with a lurid light as discharge after dis charge followed each other in rapid succession from their eight-inch guns. Southsea Castle, from hav ing no batteries to windward, showed itself more boldly as each discharge from its walls brought out in strong relief its auxiliary batteries, the artillerymen working their guns on its walls and its ancient stone tower or keep. It w as evident, even to the non-military eye, as it scanned the line of firo, that this point of the defences would be de stined to play an important part should it ever again become necessary to defend Portsmouth from the attack of an enemy by sea. At the close of the can nonade some thousands of people had assembled on Southsea-common, evidently expecting that the proceedings would have been of a more lengthened character. _ _ _ ------. In consequence of the difficulties and delays us ually experienced in embarking and disembarking troops proceeding to and returning from foreign service, owing to the want of a sufficient knowledge on the part of the officers and men of this portion of their military duties, orders have been received at' Chatham directing iat the whole of the officers and men belonging to the regiments attached to the three battalions of infantry at that garrison arc to undergo a course of instruction in embarking and disembarking from vessels. With the view of faci litating the instruction of the troops in this impor tant part of their work her Majesty's ship Tyne, at tached to the resGrve at Chatham, has been placed at the disposal of the military authorities of the garrison; and after the necessary preliminaries have been arranged a certain portion of the garrison will be daily or frequently instructed in embarking and disembarking from that vessel, under the direction of properly qualifis officers who assisted in the landing of the troops in the Crimea. A number of the boats belonging to the ships of war lying in the Medway are ordered to be got ready, and these will be used in conveying the troops from the shore to the vessel and relanding them. Each man is to be fully equipped and in heavy marching order ; hut his knapsack will be removed before quitting the shore, no soldier, under any circumstances, being ever permitted to embark carryinghis knapsack. Several additional recruiting parties have been despatched from the head-quarters of the Royal Engineers at Chatham in consequence of the want of skilled artisans, surveyors, draughtsmen, and mechanics to fill up the vacancies in that corps. The 2d battalion of the 18th (Royal Irish) are ex pected to arrive in Waterford from the Curragh this day (Monday), when they will embark on boardthe Adelaide, and proceed to replace the 60th Rifles at Aldershot. Under the sanction of the Chaplain to the Forces, lectures on scientific subjects and concerts are to be given at the barracks, Chichester, every Wednesday evening, commencing on the 2d of November. The Hon. Capt. A. E. Clarke, Royal Engineers, who has been appointed by the Duke of Newcastle the Commissioner to conduct the selection and pur chase in Europe of the arms and munitions of war requisite to complete the defences of the colony of Victoria, Australia, was formerly a member of the Victorian Cabinet, and is now at the head of the Engineers' department at the camp at Colchester. Capt. Clarke's new appointment will not interfere with the duties he is now performing at Colchester. Her Majesty's ship Seaflower, Commander Carver, has been - lying in the river Orwell, near Ipswich, her officers having been engaged in making a sur vey of the bounds of the local oyster fishery. Last Friday morning the screw steamship Ade laide, 2,060 tons, Capt. Bowen, arrived off hook Tower (Irt lanri) frOrdPortsmouth, having on board the 4th battalion of the 60th Rifles, which are to be stationed in Waterford for sone time, with de tachments at Dungannon, Dungarvan, and Youghal. The entire number of persons on board is 087, as follows :-747 rank and file, 33 officers, 48 non commissioned officers, 20 buglers, 40 corporals, 52 women, 47 children, and 6 horses. The party of the Donegal Infantry Militia which has arrived at the camp at Colchester is 185 strong and is under the command of Major Hamilton, who is accompanied by Capt. d'Arey, Lieut. Mackenzie, 1859. Lieut. Alexander, Lieut. Mason, Ensign Matur.! and Ensign Searle. The 2d Derby Militia (Chatsworth Rifles) com pleted 21 days' training on the 12th inst. On the 11th they were inspected by Lieut.-Col. the Hon. A. Cathcart, 96th Regiment, who expressed him self much pleased at the soldierlike appearance of the men and their efficiency in the field, the more so as the weather had been very ranch against them. The complement of the regiment is 567, out of which number 438 were present at headquarters, and 351 under arms. Major• Gen. Cunningham, C. 8., has just com pleted the half -yearly inspection of the King's Own 2d Staffordshire Regiment of Militia, commanded by Col. the Hon. E. R. Littleton. The gallant general has reported favourably with regard to the efficiency of the regiment, The Huntingdcishire Rifle Militia, under the command of the Earl of• Sandwich, are at present embodied at Huntingdon for 21 days' training and exercise. The regiment is 225 strong. SPORTING NOTES. THE SECOND OCTOBER MEETING The disgraceful incident which marked the close of the Newmarket meeting is to be much regretted, not only for the odium which it will heap upon the turf, but because it is also calculated to blight the prospects of a young man, who, by the exercise of steadiness and honesty in his profession, might have attained a position of affluence and respect in society. He is not, however, so much to blame as the persons who advised him to act wrong. The case will be brought before the Jockey Club, and no doubt exists that those whose (II) itching palm induced them to transgress the laws of fair play will be rigorously dealt with. The prominent features which the race for the Cesarewitch dis played have been sketched by so many different hands that I shall not attempt to portray them very elaborately. It is well known that New market to a man believed in Artless. It is equally well known that the mare went suddenly amiss, and that on the day preceding the race her start ing was deemed uncertain. Money was therefore hedged with eagerness,. and some people in their haste to " get out," even laid their bets off at a /loss. So many glum faces amongst the Wiabitants of Newmarket I do not remember to have seen after a race the triumph of which fell to th 9 town. Before the start Mr. I'. Pair was very confident in the chance of Gaspard, but his eagerness to divide after the dead heat showed that his faith had been much destroyed. Articss will, it is said, be at least Nibs. better on the Cambridgeshire Day than she was on Tuesday last, and should this assertion be correct, she will be very nearly achieving the double event. I have received the "office" to watch Gracchus, and I expect a demonstration to be made in his favour in the course of the week. The two-yr-old events were not very important. The success of Thormanby on Friday will erase the somewhat bad impression which his previous de feats tended to create. This horse likes a distance, and next year he will be very troublesome over a long course. People are not satisfied with respect to the age of Umpire, even now after the publication of the voluminous certificates as to his birth and parent ,age ; and several bets have been laid that he will not start for the Derby without another exami nation of his mouth being ordered. Mr. Ten Broeck has just imported several yearlings, which are much admired, and which will, if we mistake not, gain for themselves no inconsiderable racing reputation in this country. The meetings for this week are three—lpswich, Northallerton, and Kelso. I have not received a list of arrivals for eidier place, and must, therefore, postpone my discus sion of the probabilities until to-morrow night. A FRESH MAN. TILE BALLOT IN NEW ASOU7H WALES. (From the Sydney Horning Herald.) We have received a letter, dated June 15, ad dressed from the offices of the Society for Promoting the Adoption of Vote by Ballot, London, and con taining a series of questions to which our attention is requested, and a prompt reply. It was not expected that any particular party would greatly gain by the change. On the con trary, the ballot was introduced by a Government generally called Conservative. The support of the ballot by the party called Radical was by no means warm or active. When the ballot was introduced into the municipal system it was coldly received by them—it could not be decently rejected. Theballot has, upon the whole, been supported chiefly by persons imbued with Chartist traditions, without much reference to local circumstances, and by a large section of the Corservatives—who have felt it necessary to relieve the working classes them selves from the tyranny of the demagogues of the workshop. There can be no question that the ballot would express the preference of voters for the particular candidates chosen. Had the public known the manner in which the election was proceeding dur ing its progress, there can be no question that some would have been returned who have been excluded. The ballot, therefore, in some measure interferes with that tacit or expressed compromise of opinions by which two parties consent to accept a candidate rather than his competitor, and by their union place him at the head of the poll. Our impression is that the votes are not known in the balloting, and that, if they are discovered, it is through some other process. For instance, in a small community it is quite possible that a party may know all its own voters. The infer ence would be, of course, inevitable. But the electors, for the most part, feel no hesitation in giving their opinion, and their votes may be sup posed to harmonise with it. The ballot has had this effect, that during the progress of the election the voter has been enabled to conceal his vote. There can be no doubt that where men are dependent upon landlords or em ployers they have one of three courses open to them —to vote in harmony with the opinions of their landlords or employers ; or to lie, by preten ding to vote in their favour ; or to brave whatever injury may result from the irritation of those who possess the power to avenge themselves. Political perse cution, however, in the colonies is rare and short lived. Persons desiring influence would hardly venture to persecute, inasmuch as they would lose far more by running counter to the prevailing notion of freedom, than by indulging or even applauding the conscientious vote of adependent. We imagine that the ballot has but little to do with the Blass of men returned. Having adopted nearly universal snffrage, the natural tentency is, of course, to increase the number of representa tives who espouse the notions of the labouring classes, if they do not belong to that class. The ballot has sent into the Assembly some men who certainly cannot in any sense be deemed respect able. Looking, however, at the total result of the election, most reflecting men are rather disposed to be grateful than to complain. It must, however, be remembered that in the colony various powerful influences operate. The Irish Roman Catholic por tion of the population hitherto have been far less democratic than in America. The pastoral pursuits, of course, give a peculiar turn to the tastes and opinions of the shepherd population by which they are less identified with universal suffrage, vote by ballot, membership without property qualification, as now established, and other thi ngs o f th e same nature, there are fewer rallyi ng cries, and they are growing fainter. • - We believe the general impression is favourable to the ballot, and we are not aware of any public journals opposed to it. It has at least secured a more orderly conduct of elections. It has given to the working classes the power to conceal their opin ions, and, above all, so far as we can gather, it has left less rancour than the system of open voting. The persons active in the election of course form but a limited proportion of the people ; the rest quietly give their votes and return to their busi ness, and except by outward demonstrations of zeal are not likely to lose their customers or friends. While we readily supply this kind of informa tion we are quite aware that the question of the ballot, in its English aspect, is not really compre hended in any of the queries proposed by our cor respondent. Not one of those objections which are commonly urged against the ballot weighs a feather in the colonial mind. We all perfectly com prehend that the true difficulty at home is to reconcile the governing classes of Great Britain to a total surrender of their political power. The moral objections to the ballot appear to us, if not frivolous, at least of comparatively little force; the political—in a country like England—may be im mense. If it be made a principle in the constitu tion that the influence of one &ass upon another shall be entirely withdrawn, and that a vote shall be considered as the personal property of the man i w s h th o e g p iv l e an s it, no old :_nterests to protect —no war debt to I t n he a re n c e a w n e b eennn o tr d y ou li h k t e th th at is t t h h e er b e al a l i o .e t dis eeshtaarbigeisinnnoenat to aristocracy t d. o maintain e — ti and 6 n a o ll Ch e u x r is e t h , the question will assume an aspect entirely new.
