OM 1 '"7 TYO , 1 04; .104 4 I . AltD CiCireItiFERNAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLocK. The Liverpool Cotton market yesterday pre sented a very firm appearance, and prices of most descriptions slightly advanced. The sales were estimated 'at 10,000 bales, 2,000 of which were taken for export and 1,000 on speculation. In the Railway Share Market there was no animation, and former values were barely supported. The withdrawal of gold from the Bank appears to have recommenced, upwards of 30,0001. having been sent away yesterday. Its destination is the Continent, whither further remittances will pro bably be made during the next fortnight. In the meantime, however, a moderate supply is ex pected from the Antipodes, two or three vessels being already overdue, including the Royal Charter. As the drain to the East has abited, there is no expectation of any serious declension in the stock of the preCious metals in Threadneedle-street ; but it is scarcely probable that the total will long remain at its present elevated point. There is rather less inquiry for money, but the market still exhibits a good deal of animation. The applications have been far more extensive than was expected, and the rates in the open market are slightly above the minimum, .but in a few days there is a prospect of greater ease, although the Consol settlement and the Indian Loan instalment may temporarily maintain the demand for accom modation. Another small failure was reported yesterday, viz., that of Skeen and Freeman, in the timber trade. The liabilities are computed at 30,0001. to 50;0001., and the assets are believed to be limited. The transactions in the English Stock Market have been exceedingly limited, and there is little alteration to notice in quotations. The Three per Cent. Contols, for the Account, ex divi dend, have been dealt in at 95k. 951, and the latest quotation is still 95} 1. The New Three per Cents. and the Reduced Annuities, 951 ; Bank Stock, 220 to 222 ; Exchequer Bills fbr June are 17s. to 20s. prem., and the Borids 100/ 10L The attention of the dealers and brokers will now be directed to the settlement, which it is tlipposed will be rather a heavy one. A rather extensive business has been done in Foreign Securitie., and prices remain steady. Brazilian 44 per Cents., 904 ; Ditto Scrip, 2 to 14 dis. Buenos Ayres, 831 ;#, Ditto Deferred, 19.

METROPOLITAN FREE HOSPITAL, DEVONSHIRE-SQUARE. --The aggregate number of patients relieved at this in stitution during the week ending Satarday. June 26, was—Medical, 672 ; surgical, 405. Total, 1077. The postal conventions now projecting between Eng land and Spain and Portugal will, if agreed to, greatly seduce the almost. prohibitory postal rates now charged on the Spanish and Portuguese dependencies, such as the Azores, Cape de Verdi, Canary Islands, Cuba, and Madeira. S:CULLEES' RACE FOR 401.—A. capitally contested millers race took place yesterday between James Curtis, of Thames-street, and Thomas Hopkins, of Billingsgate, both the competitors being saleJnen at the above p'ace. The Venus accompanied the race, and was fi led. Mr. Andrew Wentz e ll wes c h osen re f eree , an d th e men go t o tf well together, Curtis, however, soon took the lead, and held it all the way, although his opponent, who met with an a cc id ent or wo, pressed him at times very ()say. 110Vr TO CATCH NANA SAHIB.—" An Indian colonel," i n the Spectator, gives the following as " the only in fallible receipt to Catch Nana Sahib" :—" Let the Go vernment ttk Mr. J. C. Wils on of the civil service— now, I believe Ju d g e M( '''adah ' ad—t o capture him. It requires no personal know ledge of the v ill a i n t o i ns u re his apprehension. Mr. Wilson will most probably take into his confidence some 30 Asiatics ; with th ese well mounted and armed, he will m ake a da sh at his prer. , Mr. Wilson is one of the best detecti v es in India He was a Thug-officer—lmo been a magistrate accustomed to long rides,---to • finish by sitting on a wall all night and dropping down on his victim in the d awn . The offer by Lord Canning o f 10,0001, for the ono _ tore of tho Nana will not have the desired etr , ct, simply because the natives are afraid of each other. Their name would be compromised amorp: themselves, .though there may not be C,e slightest affinity lo cast e between the captor and the prisoner, while in the Wilson case those who join him will satif fy their cow .sciences by throwirg the onus on him. With the Nana on his saddle-how, the flanks protected, a few men to bring up the nee, and by fighting for a very few minutes, the pries will be secured. If my advice is not taken, the Nana will slip off quietly when the game is up, and years hence you will hear be has died at a Rood old age in the garb of a rel'gious mendicant at Dwarka." Letters from Alexandria allude vaguely to the desire of the Viceroy of Egypt to raise a loan. We have reason to believe that this impression is not unfounded, but his highness's position is sufficiently anomalous to render the raising of a foreign loan an operation of some daft lty.

Fuut IN VIE CALTON JAIL, EDINtURGEL—A. fire of a rather alarming character broke out early yesterday morning in a .block of tuildiugs at the jail, constitutitg 's the washing-housein and tile atrou apartments, &e., and separated from the main erection by a court-yard. The fire was first discovered about four o'clock by the n i ght .. watctwaan , w h o ntrceived smoke issuing from the crevices of one of the windows. He gave the alarm, and a messenger despatched immediately to the fire-office re turned with an engine, which commenced to play upon the buildings. The fire, which had origirated in the matron's kitolien situated above the washing-house, burned the flooring and reached the long-room under• neath, where about 12 wooden compartments for wash ing were ranged. These were consumed almost before the arrival of the engine. Tfis flames swept With great - violence up a lofty wooden ventilator or chi mne y non structed to cool the hnti COmp!ctely damn' shing it, and in a short soac) of time the washinv-Loons arid ceil ing wire completely charred. On an alarm being, giver, the attention f the nflicerg of the e:tabiistunent was directed to the f, male debtor - 3' room, immediately above the house, and occupied by a woman who had been con fined there sometime. They sucoeeded in rescuing her without -injury. Fortunately there was an abundant supply of water at band, and by dint of hard exertion the brigade rucceeeded in mastering the flames soon after five o'clock. The amount ,of damage done will not, we learn, exceed 1501. The origin of the fire is unk now n. &Scotsman. _ _ RAIL TO TELEIIIGIIL ANDS.—It ig with no ordinary sa tisfaction that we announce the completion of the rail way from Nairn Ito Keith, thus establishing through communication by railway from Inverness to London.

The LORD ADVOCATE took a similar view. He thought it would affect the rights of private fonndat►nu where them right of nomination had been vested in town councils. After some further discussion, the amendment was withdrawn. Sir W. DUNBAR moved a proviso, to the effect that the patronage hitherto exercised by the town council of Edinburgh should be transferred to seven curators, bar to be named by the town council and three by the University Court ; the term of office to be four years. Mr. COWAN opposed the amendinent ; but if it was proposed as a compromise he should not stand in the way. The clause was then agreed to, with Sir W. Dunbar's addition, which was as follows :—" And the right of nomination or presentation to all professorships in, the University of Edinburgh, in timers past and presently exercised iiy the Town Council of Edinburgh, or by one or more of the members taereef, shall be transferred to, anti in all time coming be exercsed by, eevea curators to be nominated as follows : within two months from and after the date at which this Act shall some into opera tion, as hereinafter provided, the Town Council shall notni nate four curet oai, and the University Court of the said University shall nominate theremaining three curators; provided, that, except the Lord Provost, no member of the Town Council, or of the University Court, shall be eligi ble as a curator ; and the curators - shall continue in office for four years .; and in the event of vacancies in the office of curator .occurring from death, resignation, or any other cause, the vacancies shall, as respects the four nominations made' by the Town Council, be filled up by the town council, and shall, as respects the other nominations, be filled up by the university cJort, for the remainder of the period unexpired."• Clause 14 was then proposed, and ;lam blanks - le-ft for the names of toe commeeioners were proposed to be filled up as follows Grace John George 1) , uglas Camp bell, Doke of Argyll ; the Right Hon. George Hamilton Gordou, Earl of Aberdeen ; the Right William David Murray, Earl of Mansfield ; the Right Hen. Duncan Mc Neill, Lerd Justice General and Lord President of the Court of Session ; Sir William Gibson Craig, of Riccarton, Bait. ; John Liglis, Esq., Lord Advocate for Scotland ; James Craufurd, E•q., one of the Senalete, of the College of Justice ; William Stirling, Esq., of Keir; James Monoreiff, Esq. ; Alexander Haetie, Esq. The names were agreed to and the clause was ordered ' to be added to the bill. Mr. ELLICE, sen., remarked upon the extensive powers given to the commissioners, powers which the Home Secretary would hesitate to give any body of men in England Mr. WALPOLE raid it was intended to ire .rt in the bill a clause requiring the cotrirnis,ioners to lay before Pariia.iient their resolutions 15 da)s before they were put. in force. Mr.• GLADSONE said what be wished to see was the Scotch degrees brought up to those of England which he did not think could be done while Scotland main tained four Univenities. The greatest good in his opinion would be effected if the four Universitie4 were consolidated into one all the colleges arranging themselves under it as a central body. He did not think any loss by doing so would be occmioned, but, on the contrary, a positive advantage would be gained. What be was most anxious for was, that powers should be given to the commissioners to inquire into the poma , i.. bility of consolidating the four universities into one. This would involve upon the commissioners the duty of inquiring and reporting the result to the Crown, nod if it was found that the feeling wro sows a proceedin7, moan. (—old no otken ultimately to carry the effect of which would be to elevate the higher branches of education in that country. He therefore moved an addition to the clause, to the effect that the powers be had mentioned should be given to the oemmis,ioners, and that in the event of her Maje-ty granting a charter to the central university, the four existing bodies tnight be authorised t, surrender their powers of granting degrees to the new university. (Hear.) The LORD-ADVOCATE stated the addition pro posed by the .right hon. gentleman would not be pre sented at the present moment. He suggested that it might be proposed upon the bringing up of the report. After a short discussion, the words proposed were withdrawn, on the understanding that they should be brought forward on the bringiu4 up of the report. The clause, with a few other verbzl amendmaits, was then agreed to. (LEFT SITTING.)

Sir Richard Bethel, Q.C., opened the CVO for the appellant. The house was densely crowded with the puhlic, anxious to hear the arguments of counsel in this interest ing. and most important cafe. This was an appeal from a decision of the Master of the Rolla. This case is fully reported in 23 Beavan, p. 321. The point of contention is who is the heir male of the testator entitled to take the TheHugon estates in Brom ley, Kent, under the will of the testator, who died in the month of June, '1797.

The character of " Georgy" is 'admirably descrbt4d ; it is melaneh-ly to dwell on that lonely life, and tia! sa i death of one so del - 1;y en loot d with the be e t feeling 3 of !he lieart, and so cap,ible of appreciating the pure. and the good. Some of the remarks are peculiarly Lrcible, as, for instance, those ou last words— " Last words and &athbed genies occur oftener in books than in reality. Last words :ere • oftener the mutterings of some perhaps trivial drum—the request for some comfort or some change of pillows ; the grateful recognition of some loved one--=than phrases which con tain the full expression of_ the life-thought, or turixiors which shall be the gniiiance of those who remain behind. Oor lives, not our deathbeds, most furnish these." _ This stet) , is well worth the attention (.f all who appreciate ability, though it may appear in a simple guise ; and tho , e who bEiforo. me . Will it, inky be to renew thrir acquaint;lnee . with.its pages. The Cardinal. A Novel. By A. Boyd, author of "Tie Duchegs." Bentley. This work has rerently been added !o he a'trac tive series now publishing IT Mr. Bentley, which comprises some prodnc!ious.of eminent talent, and some spa , klieg and b!illiant sketch?s, and which is altogether a desirable collection fur any one to possess. The novel iu question will doubtless meet with approval, especially from those who prefer romances connected with history. ilfissiona)y Adventures in Texas and Mexico. By the Abbe Domenech. Longman. In this volume, translated from the Frencb, under the author's superintendencl, we find the results of six yea-s' experience in Central America. The records of missionary travels hsve always a peculiar interest for those who can sympathise with the ardent spirit and untiring sAf-..ievotion that actuates them. The active career cf this Abbe Dome:lei:li as a missionary is unforiunat ely brought to a speedy conc:u4on, as his herith gave way under the pressure of fatigue, anxiety, and discom fort. Much to his regret, he was forced to abandon the ennobling life to which he had devoted iiirnself, for the monotonous routine of his old world exis tence, which seemed to him " cold, colourless, awl pitiful," after the vivid variety of till- reg:o had traverse. 17 en:ar and lucid, and c . r,,urhotances and the scenes he describes give it animation. He narrates a melancholy incident at the co;;.clusion. He was interes'ed in the fate of some prisoners of war taken by General who were cludemned to execution, and he devoted himself to their consolation at their last hours, after fruitlessly endeavouring to obtaiu a mitigation of their seaterice. Though suffering from tha effects of his exertions on their behslf and his painful sym pathy, he had the satisfaction of showing some kind ness to these unfortunate victims of an ill-regulated state. We could have wished that a writer, claim leg tolerance for his own faith, should be a little more respectful to others, and cannot admire the whlesale scorn with 1; hick he speaks of the various denominaLons of American Protts;4n's. However mistaken creeds or forms of worship may appear to these of another fait4T, the sincere belief of a large nunalYr of human beings on the greatest of all suvjects, demands respect, though not concurrence. With this occasional exception, the book is one well calculated to attract ths general reader, who will find much interesting matter unconnected with missionary labours. Practical Swiss Outdo.

Cosmos. Vul. IV. Part 1. By Alexander von Humt;oldt. A. Longman and Co., and John Murray, Albemarle-street The announcement of the publication of this work in its precut form must have been a source of the greatest satisfaction to all who aro already familiar with the earlier portions of it. The fame of Baron Humboldt's work has already extended over the civilised world, it is the delight of the man of science, and a treasury of instruc tion to the young student in physical know ledge. The marvels of nature, examine - I by him, cast into the shade the arts of the mechanician and the ancient wonders of the necromancer. Those mysterious springs of action, these unknown to. ces which, in all ages, have stricken the wise with awe and overwhelmed the ignorant with frantic tenor,- are shoin as parts of a mighty system, guided by laws, affected by s n ounding agencies, not always, indeed, to be influenced by c ' human power, but g iving another proof that " Order is Heaven's first law," although from his station at the foot of the hall of Knowledge m ty not catch the full proportion of the the view to ho seen from its mountain top. It was, as tha reader is probahly_aware, the author's int en - Lion that the fourth and concluding volume of the "Cosmos," s hould contain. a notes of th e speci alities of the different b at.clies of science the Mutual connection of which had been treated of in the " General View of Nature " at the commencement. It has been found impossible to compreas into one volume the in:at:mei - A of b th the organic and inorganic departments ; and con sequntly the fourth volume will appear in two parts—the first, which was published in the ori ginal at the commeucern-nt of the present year, being now offercd to the english public. It was translated under the superintendence of Major . General E. Sabine, R.A., D.C.L., dc, who was in personal communication with toe author, and who has bean requested by him to alter and amend some portions ri•lating to terrestrial magnetism, in which recent discoveries have produced some alterations. The edition is handsome and compact, and we should imagine that few libraries would be without so valuable a testimony to the scientific and philosopb.ical capabilities of our generation. Aspects of Paris. By Edward Copping. man. Here we have a very entertaining and agre?- able volume, which, avoiding all political questions and stiictures, gives a picture of Parisian life in its social and literary aspects. The writer is evidently animated by a cord►al and friendly feeling towards our continental neighbours, though he is quick to perceive the hidden dangers of their social system. His remarks on the character of the -"Paris penny-a-lining" are sound and just. The dangerous tendency of these melo-dramatic pictures of uisappointed lovers, who forthwith-console themselves with carbonic gas or a cord in a cellrr, is unquestionable, on uninformed and-illregulated minds, though readers of a higher class and larger expelienco would only mile at A. brief account of tl:e l 0.4ti0)1 and resources of California, - written more eapeci nlly with tefererica the merchant, the capitalist, and the emigrant, is not out of place among the many volumes that are issued respeclug the favourite spots for emigration. It is wiitten in a plain and practical style, stating the rates of wages, the - commerce of California, the rates of interes . ,• the prospects of the different classes of emigrants, and all necessary information. It is enlivened by descriptor's of the vivid and 'picturesque scenery, and by a great 'rmbas of coloured illustrations, representing some of • the most reMarkable views and tha principal buildings of the cities. The different routes to California aro desciibsd at the end, and it may be useful to the. intending emiorant to know that the author is lead) , to give any information on the subject, though not connected with any emigration scheme.

A number of persons who intended sailing from Douglas, Isle of Man, for Dublin, by the steamer Queen, of Whit eltaven, wore awaiting the arrival of teat ves,el from Whitehaven on Wednesday night, and gelS•in toe - the - treats - belorging to the White. haven Precket Company for the purpose of going on board. On the vessel arriving and firing a gun, at half-past 11 o'clock, the boats proceeded towards her at the outside of the bay, but were enable to get alongside,.as the anchor not being downthe steamer drifted away from the beats. A squall of wind off the land came down on them at the same time, and, proving utterly too strong for the rowers, swept the beats away out to sea. The largest boat h.d on beard 25 passengers, and a crew of three boatmen, with only two oars, and was encumbered by a heavy load of luggage besides the passengers. A considerable sea was running—too much for the open host with her excessive freight, and oonsequent'y she rolled and plunged her bows under to such an extent that all were in imminent danger, and the whole of the luggage had to be thrown overieeard to preserve the lives of these in the boat by preventing it swamping. Being light ened, the - beat rode much easier over tl e angry billows, but all the efforts of the crew were re• quired to keep her head to the sea; and so prevent her filling. After passing a wte . ched night, the passengers were only relieved long atter daylight by seeing a steamer rnakiug towards them, which proved to be the vessel they ought to have. been "is board of, and by which •11 up And 1, the bay. The smeller boat had Lien passengers on board, and rode rather lighter ; she had also - drifted several miles off Langness when she was p:eked up. While the boats were thus ex posed to a night's peril on the deep the Queen was lying at anchor in Douglas 113 y, and it was only an hour or two after a harbour boat had been out and informed these in the steamer that the passenger boats were not in the harbour, that the captain ap • peared to know anything about them, and went in search about 4 a.m. Among the passengers in the boats were several ladies and some youths return ing from echool. Dr. and Mrs. Hemmings were in the larger beat, and lost all the luggage prepared for a tour in Ireland. Oee lady lost a trunk con taining jewellery and other property of the value of 20014 and many other gentlemen and ladies whoa, names have not reached us also lost the whole of their luggage. One or two persons belong ing to Douglas, who went for the purpose of seeing female relatives safely on beard, were also on board the boats. Several persons connected with the passengers remaieed on the pier all night in a state of suspense, caused by the boats no:, re turaiug.—Manx Sun. E<f 1)-11AKIIl G BY MA GIIINERK - YettErday Mr. L. S evens, of Cambridge-road, invited a party of scientific gentlemen to witness the operation of his newly patented machine for bread-making, and a goodly number of savants and iepresentatives of the public press did ample jus tice to the patentet's call upon them. Of the bread m amfactured by Mr. Stevens, we have elieady, more titan once, in common with other journals, spoken in terms of high commendation, for its purity, sweetness, lightness, and above all, cleanliness. But it is quite another matter to set forth that bread is to be made by machinery,— with a long printed ereamb:e descriptive of the re pulsive modes of baking by manual labouY,—and to find that, after ell, little, if any, advance has been made upon the old system. Yet such is, in reality, the fact ; for, notwithstanding that tea long since as the year 1349, a full deiscripion appeared in all the public journals of Lee and Robinson's p tiented prceiess, by which the human hand was not required from the time the flour left the sack, until, as bread, it was drawn iu the batch from the oven, we were both surprised and disap pointed to find that in Mr. Stevens's machi nery, the only real attempt at labour-saving is by Lue.ins of a vertical mixer, such as has been known in the bi- cult machines of our dockyards for more. than a quarter of a century, combiu7d with a semi rotary duster or dredger, copied flow ' or -at all events precisly similar to, that described by Lee and Robinson iu their r atent already referred to. The old modes of iettiug the sponge, waiting its• rising, lifting, turning, and cutting the dough, w&igbittg, setting singly in his oven, are all pet foi med ny hand lobo and although we againsay that Mr. Stevens's bread may safely be compared with any that London can produce, it is a mis nomer to state that it is made by machinery, when in reality, the baker has very neatly, if not quite, as much labour, and exactly the same time, to bestow upon the manufacture as in the old dough trough method. Mr. Stevens himself may probably find thateven the suspension of a public benefit may be more attributable to pecuniary difficulties en the part of an inventor- than to any inherent defect in the invention ; and seeing that almcst the only improvement he can boast was exhibited at Exeter-hall nine years since, it will probably be found that the machine has yet to be made which will command the p-itrouage of the nobility, hotel keepers, and large daily consumers of the " staff of life." el ti , 7 - LITER TURF.

ACCIDENTAL DISCOVERIES OF FRAUD. There are some very curious circumstances connected with the diecovety of the frauds practised upon the London and Westcninater Bank by a late ledger clerk. It must be understood, fora clear comprehension of the matter, that this person, by means of having his own cheques pooeing tierough his hands, was enabled to daily balance, by fudging" his books to any sum that was notate easy, in order to make figures appear corset. Upon hie leaving town for his holiday he doubtless felt secure in the successful secrecy of his plots, as the clerk who would take his place would have but his own day's work at the ledger to transact. In ninety-nine times at l: act out of a hundred this reasoning would have held goOd, and would have done so in this instance, except that instead of a clerk accustomed to the work being em ployed to perforoi the duty of the absentee, one wholly unaccustomed to was selected ; and strange is it may seem, the discovery of an extensive series of frauds Was entirely owing to the ignorance of the deputy. So un accuAumed wee he to the duty that lie bad several titpes to iequire of some one else how things were to be done ; and en one critical occasion, iu reply to a question, he was told ho must" cast" his lodger to find out his mis take. Now, so ignorant of the real business on hind was he, that he did not irnow even what this term meent, and instead .of " casting" the one dav'ts entries, he com .menced at the beginning of the ledger, and quiclely found.that the " casting" die knot agree with.the totals. This immediately led to au investigation of the books, and the frauds perpetrated •were at once revealed. N•iw it is not a little singular that bad a regular "ledger clerk" been employed, be would probably have said to himself, " Oh ! bother the thing; let Mr. fi. , d out the error himself." The suspicion of there ‘yveetterts end. baokhoanka being an,}tLing wrong wouldtroleh:Y never have entered Lis head, and the absentee would hav e re• turned to town to make things "Yluiuth• A sorneWhat similar instance to this the application of a gfn t occurredlem ato for a situation.

N o s ooner said than done, with the observa tion, a minute or two, "This casting is, wrong--'-and t ie s —and this. Oh, nonsense," was the reply, with an i nc redulous smile. On investigation, however; the truth became apparent that a systematic course of plun der had some 20 years before been practised, which might never probably have been discovered but for this dance .l ke kind of ir.CidentemiCkvnide. 88 i I 651 6 100 100 1 100 1100 100 st.
