CITY, Two O'CLOCK. There is no diminution in the demand for money and the market, consequently, remains in a firm and active state. The upward tendency of the rates, and the probable increase in the exports of specie, have already led to some conversation with regard to the prospect of an advance in the mini mum discount quotation at the Bank of England, and bankers and brokers consequently limit their operations or acquire higher terms for the use of their resources. A small parcel of gold, viz., £4,000, was 'with drawn from the Bank of England yesterday for exportation. The Mexican dollars by the Seine, from the West Indies, have been sold at ss. 2-Z-d, per oz., showing a slight advance. _ A call of Xi per share, amounting to £50,000, is dae to-day on the Metropolitan Railway. A large amount of business was recorded in the Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday, 18,000 bales having been disposed of at about former rates. The following communication refers to the East India Irrigation and Canal Company : TO THE EDITOR OF THE BUN. you kindly allow me space in your columns to state, in answer to numerous inquiries which have been made and for the information of the public generally, that the following is the understood meaning of the terms pro posed by Sir C. Wood as the basis of the arrangement to be made with the Government of India, viz.:— 1. That the price to be paid by the company to the Go vernment for all land required is to bo it, value at the time possession is taken, and not the improved value created by the works constructed. _ _ 2. That water is to be supplied from the company's works to all available land requiring irrigation, and the Government alone is to pay the company for that supply; and 3. That the prices to be chargeable to parties using it (i.e., the cultivators) for the water supplied for irrigation are to be fixed by the Legislative Council at Calcutta, and those prices are to be charged by the Government to such cultivators, and to be paid by the former to the company. I may add that the company is to be conducted and in corporated with strict limited liability as is the Madras Irrigation and Canal Company.—l am, Sir, yours, T. WESTWOOD. 27, Cannon. street, RC., Aug. 15, 1860. The creditors of Mr. J. Dickens met to-day, when a statement of the affairs prepared by Mr. S. Lowell Price, was presented, which stated the liabilities to be £2,633, and the assets at £1,705. It was agreed that the estate be assigned to two creditors for immediate realisation.

The prisoner had effected an insurance for £lOO on the life of the deceased Mary Wells Streeter, and in order to obtain that money at her death, it was incumbent on him to show that she had not taken her own life, and that she had not suffered violence from his hands. Having arranged his plans he next de stroyed his mother in order that he might repre sent that she had murdered Miss Streeter, and to save himself from the consequences of such an act he artfully declared he had done so in self-defence. As a reason for the killing his brothers it was suggestive of one of two things—either they had witnessed his acts, and it was absolutely necessary they should be got rid of to enable him to get the insurance money, or that they were disposed of to convey a false impression of the ferocity of his mother, and to show that he might have shared a simi lar fate had he not used the violence he did in resisting her attack, which terminated in her death. He did not know the grounds of the defence, but if it was intended to persist that the mother was murdered in self-defence, then the whole facts of the case were opposed to such an assertion; while if, on the other hand, it was contended the murders were committed while the prisoner was in a state of insanity, the letters written by him, and his whole conduct, completely disproved any unsoundness of mind on his part. Mr. Clark occupied one hour and a quarter in the delivery of his address, and during the whole of the time the pri soner never for a moment removed his eyes from off the learned gentleman. On the conclusion of the speech the prisoner commenced taking notes of the evidence in-the coolest manner imaginable, and continued so occupied during the progress of the trial. The only additional feature in the ease was that elicited from his father, who stated that his wife's mother had died a lunatic, and that his brother had also been confined in a lunatic asylum for a long time. The case for the prosecution having closed, and Mr. Best having made an ingenious speech for the defence, and The learned judge having summed up the evidence, The jury at 10 minutes past six retired to consider their verdict, and after an absence of five minutes returned into court with a verdict of guilty. The prisoner was then asked if he had anything to say why sentence of death should not b e passed upon him, when he replied in a firm voice--,‘ I am not guilty." The learned judge then passed sentence of death in the usual manner, and ordered the prisoner to In handed over to the custody of the Sheriff of Su rrey. The execution will take place at Horsemonger-lane Gaol. The prisoner appeared to be the rOost unconcerned in the whole court, and walked from the dock with the most stolid indifference. NEW COUR T. (Before the Recorder.) SENTENCE FOR THE LIIIXL tGAINST JOBSON. Upon the Recorder taking hi s seat on the bench this morning, he ordered David W e nlYss Jobson, who had been convicted of libelling Sir Jan ie , Fergusson, Bart , M.P., and other persons, to be placed at the bar to receive the sentence of the Court. Upon being asked by the officer of the court what he had to say why sentence should not be passed on him, he nod ded his head, meaning no, and b --Landed in a written paper, which was read by the Recorder, who, after perusing it, addressed the prisoner :—You have handed me a certificate that you are not in good health. I will take care that in the sentence I am about to p as sl-1 1 3 0n you the medical officer of4he prison I am about to send you to will exa mine you, and nothing shall be done by way of punishment which you are not able to undergo. You have been con victed of three most malicious libels, and also in another case with not only uttering a lib e l, but doing so with a view of extorting money from a gentleman. It is i n t h a t case that I shall visit your offence with a severe punish ment. The sentence of the court is, that you be im prisoned and kept to hard laboxr for twelve months in the House of Correction of the county in which the offence was committed ; and that at the expiration of that sentence you eater into your own r ecognisances in the sum of £BO, and find two sureties in the sum of £4O each, to keep the peace for one year towards her Majesty's subjects, and particularly those you have libelled. The prisoner then bowed to the Recorder, and walked from the dock without saying a word. FELONIOUSLY WOUNDING. Pietro Marsini and Tomaso karsini were indicted for feloniously wounding John Mullis and John Geary, with Latent to do thous griovotts bodily harm. (Thu f a „ uf this case appeared in The Sun when tb.2 prisoner was committed from Guildhall police-court.) The prisoners, through ; a n altorpreter, pleaded guilty to the charge of unlawfully woundin g . Mr. Cooper, with whom was Aix. Platt, appeared on the part of the prosecution, and N rs Robinson defended the prisoners. The counsel for the prosecution said as the prisoners had pleaded guilty to the minor part of the offence they should offer no evidence as to the serious part of the charge. It appeared the prisoners were in the street playing with a monkey, when the prosecutor, upon seeing it, commenced teasing it, which exasperated the prisoners and afterwards caused a quarrel to take place between the parties, and ended in the prisoners being taken into custody on the pre sent charge.! The prisoners said if the meu had not touched the monkey, they should not have committed the offence, and w ere very sorry for what had takenplace. The Recorder, addressing the prisoners through the in terpreter, said that did not justify them in using a knife in this country ; and sentenced them to six mouths' hard labour in the Holloway House of Correction.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—(This Day), OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Williams.) THE MURDERS AT WALWORTH.-CONVICTION OF THE MURDERER. William Godfrey Youngman, 25, tailor, was indicted for _ . the wilful murder of Mary Wells Streeter. There were also three other indictments against him for the wilful murder of his mother and his two brothers. Mr. Clerk prosecuted on the part of the Crown; and Mr. Best, of the Oxford Circuit, defended the prisoner. Yesterday the indictments were severally read over to him, and he pleaded not guilty distinctly to each of the charges. From the circumstance that the evidence against the accused having already appeared in The Sun, in the copious reports of the examination of the accused, before Mr. Elliot, the magistrate at the Lambeth Police-court, and Mr. Carter, the coroner fer East Surrey, we deem it unne cessary to repeat it. The following brief narrative of the facts will be quite sufficient to refresh the memory of our readers. It will be recollected that a constable on duty (David Luck, 133 P), about six c'elock in the morning of the 31st of July, just prior to ks leaving his beat, was called to No. 16, Manor place, 'Walworth-road, by the landlord of the house, Mr. Bevan, vrho informed the officer that a child had been murdered. The constable at once sent to the chief station for a superior officer, and Inspector Dann, accompanied by Police-constable Varney, proceeded to the house. On the officers going upstairs to the land ing of the second floor, a sight at once awful, sickening, and harrowing presented itself, The whole of the floor of the landing was saturated with blood, which had scarcely coagulated, and lying in the midst of it were three human bodies, fearfully mutilated. The first was found to be that of a boy, about six years of age, lying on his back with his head towards the stairs. The next body was that of a young female in her night-dress ; lying on her right side, and partially resting upon her, was the body of an elderly female. Mr. Inspector Dann was then informed that a youngman, the son of the elderly female, was on that storey, and on stepping over the bodies he saw a man, about 25 years of age, in his night-shirt, standing perfectly calm and quite indifferent to the horrible scene around him. In spector Dann told him that he must take him into custody, when the young man made the foll6wing remarks :—" I was in bed with my brother, when mother came up to the bedside with a knife, and killed my brother who was sleeping with me; then she made a stab at me, and I wrested the knife from her and killed her in self-defence." The young man was then taken into custody, and Inspector Dann proceeded into the back room on the same landing, and discovered a fourth body, that of a boy about eleven years of age, lying in bed in a pool of blood. The prisoner was then removed to the chief police station. On a search of the rooms being made a large dagger clasp knife was found completely covered with blood. About an eighth of an inch of the point of the dagger was broken off, as also a portion of the guard. A lodger named Beard, a carpenter, was preparing to go to work when he heard a kind of cry and a heavy fall. He went to see what it was, when he observed the body of oae of the deceased boys lying on the land ing covered with blood. Being greatly alarmed Beard did not search further, but ran down stairs and informed his landlord, and Mr. Bevan immediately called in the police as stated above. THIRD EDITION.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS--(THIS EVENING). The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Caithness Roads (No. 2) Bill was read a second time. The West Cork Railways Amalgamation Bill (amend ments) were read a third time and passed , SAVINGS BANK BILL. Earl GRANVILLE said to-morrow he should move the suspension of the standing orders with respect to the second reading of bills, in order that his noble friend might be enabled to move the second reading of the Savin, 9 ;s Bank Bill. The Earl of DONOUGHMORE asked the reason for such a proceeding. He thought the state of the house at that period of the session was such as to render a suspen sion of the standing order very unadvisable. Lord REDESDALE thought the motion of the noble earl opposite was not at all judicious, and was about to enter into the reasons why the Savings Bank Bill should not be proceeded with, when Earl GRANVILLE said it would not be desirable at that moment to enter into a discussion on the question, and to• morrow the noble lord could do so when the motion was made. Lord DESART said the bill had been struck out of the minutes for the present session, and a great many peers had left town understanding that the bill would not be brought forward. Lord MONTEAGLE thought the moving the second reading of the bill to-morrow was most unwise. He thought there was still time enough fully to discuss the measure if its second reading was postponed for a short time. He looked upon the motion of the noble , earl with great surprise. Earl GRANVILLE said the bill was a very important one, and he felt it his duty to persevere in the course he had marked ougnotwithstanding the remarks of the noble lord who had just resumed his seat. It was entirely owing to the noble lord that the house came to the unfortunate decision on Monday night, owing to his not having taken the trouble to make himself master of the object or with the facts of the bill. The Marquis of SALISBURY objected to proceeding with the bill at this period of the session. He looked upon it as one to enable the Chancellor of the Exchequer to dabble in the public funds. The Duke of ARGYLL urged his noble friend to per severe in his intention of moving a suspension of the ses sional order. The house had coma to a decision in igno rance of its principals. Lord REDESDADE regarded it as a matter of great importance that they should not establish a precedent for departing from sessional orders that had been deliberately agreed to. The conversation then dropped. GUNPOWDER, &c., BILL. This bill passed through committee. LANDED PROPERTY IMPROVEMENT (IRE LAND) BILL. This bill passed through Committee. INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS ACT AMENDMENT BILL. Earl GRANVILLE moved, as this bill was a matter of urgency, the sessional order should be suspended in order that it should be read a second time. The motion was agreed to, and the bill was read a second time. ECCLESIASTICAL COMMISSION BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. LANDLORD AND TENANT (IRELAND) BILL.' The Duke of ARGYLL moved that as this bill was one of urgency the sessional order might be suspended, in order that the bill might be proceeded with. The motion was agreed to, and the bill was read a second time. THE ACCIDENTAL POISONINGS AT LEWES. The Earl of HARRINGTON moved for a report of the coroner's inquest and Crown trial at Lewes of George Bull, a surgeon, tried for the manslaughter of Sarah Ann Bull, his mother, by administering an overdose of prussic acid when in a state of excitement and intoxication, and found guilty at the inquest, though above suspicion of bad inten tion, and acquitted ;by the Assize Court. The noble lord entered at length into the proceedings at both investiga tions, and read certain portions of the evidence to show that George Ball was intoxicated when he administered the fatal dose. The LORD CHANCELLOR condemned the course pursued by the noble earl who had just addressed the house. The person had been regularly tried and acquitted by a jury of his countrymen, and it was most unjust that he should not have the advantage of the verdict, but be held up to the world as a man who had been guilty of manslaughter. He could have understood the noble lord if he had suggested any impro priety of conduct of the judge or jury in his bringing the matter before the house, but nothing of the kind was attempted. He thought Sir Alex. Cockburn, the presiding judge, was much better able to form an idea as to what were the proper questions to be put to the jury than the noble lord. _ . _ The motion was put to the house and negatived without a division. LANDS CLAUSES CONSOLIDATION ACT AMENDMENT. The Commons' amendments to this bill were considered and agreed to. CONSOLIDATED FUND (L 10,000,000) BILL. This bill was read a second time. SPIRITS BILL. This bill was read a second time. PRISONS (SCOTLAND) BILL. Tho Commons' amendments to this bill were considered and agreed to. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(This DAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at a quarter-past 12 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a third time and passed : Athenry'and Ennis Junction Railway, and Viscount Lor ton's Estate. THE NATIONAL GALLERY. Mr. E. JAMES presented a petition, signed by 400 working men, in favour of opening the National Gallery on Sundays. THE HIGH SHERIFF OF SURREY AND THE • JUDGES. Col. FRENCH gave notice that, on going into commit tee of supply to-morrow at the day sitting, he would call the attention of the house to what had occurred between her Majesty's judges and the high sheriff of Guildford, and asked for the production of any correspondence in posses sion of the Government on this subject. STAMP DUTIES (No. 2) BILL. _ _ _ This bill was read a third time and passed. EXCISE DUTIES BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. CUSTOMS (No. 2) BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. DEFENCE OF THE REALM BILL. The house went into committee of supply. Mr. WALPOLE, in moving a vote of £80,850 to com plete the whole vote of £100,850 for the British Museum, said that this year there was an alteration in the form in which the estimate was presented, as all the charges connected with the institution were brought under one head. The expenses were reduced to £2,000 in some branches of the expenditure, and though there was an in crease in the item for building, on the whole there was a saving of £147 this year. This saving had been effected, notwithstanding that a collection of pictures the property of Lord Norclifie, and a collection of valuable MSS., be longing to the Duke of Lauderdale, as well as a mineralo gical collection, had been purchased. The right hon. gen. tlernan concluded by stating that a valuable collection of medals and coins had been presented to the institution dur ing the past year. Mr. DANBY SEYMOUR asked whether it was pro posed to make any alteration in regard to the hours of ad mission, which at present excluded professional men and the working classes. Mr. SPOONER objected to the vote, on the ground that the institution was of a local and not a national character. Mr. E. JAMES also complained of hours of admis sion, and said that there had been a large diminution in the number of persons visiting the institution last year as compared with 1857, which he attributed to the inefficient arrangements for attracting visitors. Mr. WALPOLE said that, in 1857, there was an in crease in the average number of visitors to the British Museum in the May of that year in consequence of the library being then opened, which would account for the falling-off last year. It would be found that there Rai an increase in the number of those who attended the institu • tion since the new arrangements had been carried out, which was a very gratifying fact. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER contended that this institution was national, and not local, as described by the hon. member (Mr. Spo'oner.) At present those who frequented the reading-room could pursue their studies with greater luxury than any gentleman could do in hie owu libreny, and they inoluded in their number persons from all parts of the country. Mr. AYRTON complained of the manner in which the Museum and National Gallery in this country were man aged as regarded classification and other points. Mr. BUTT drew attention to the salaries of the officers of the British Museum, which were lower than those of any other department of the public service, and were, he contended, most inadequate for the duties they were called on to perform. He trusted that the memorial which had been presented by these officials to the Treasury, calling attention to the subject would receive careful consideration. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that these salaries had been revised within the last six years. It was quite true that there was a memorial before the Treasury, but the subject to which it relates had been re ferred to the trustees, as the best qualified to decide the question. He deprecated discussions of this character, when comparisons in regard to salaries were instituted be tween the British Museum and different Government departments, which could lead to no benefit, as the particulars oonnected with the duties required relatively were not generally known, and no fair conclusion could be drawn as to:the justice of the remuneration respec tively given. He would mention that there was no one officer in the British Museum who did not receive more than was promised to him. Some further discussion ensued, in the course of which Sir G. LEWIS stated that the appointments in the in stitution were not made by the executive, but were vested in the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Lord Chancellor, and the Speaker of the House. The vote was agreed to. A vote of £4,300, for civil establishments at Bermuda, was agreed to. On the vote of £6,228 for ecclesiastical establishments in the British North American Colonies, Mr. HADFIELD objected to the vote on the ground that the colonies could support these establishments with out aid from :this country. Mr. C. FORTESCUE explained that the country could not in honour discontinue this vote, which belonged to what were called expiring votes, and were to terminate with the lives of the individuals who were benefited by the same. There was no intention on the part of the Government to continue the vote beyond the lives of these individuals. Mr. HADFIELD considered that Canada was wealthier than many parts of England and Ireland, and persisted in his objection to the ]vote. He moved that the vote be re duced by £2,393, the amount granted for foreign mis sionaries. The amendment was negatived without a division, and the vote was agreed to. £1,600 was voted for the Indian Department in Canada. on the vote of £15,000 to complete the vote of .C 30,000 to defray the expenses of British Columbia, Mr. WILLIAMS asked for some information as to the revenue of the colony. r, ronzectiz Raid that the Mining for the rear 1i.2 all 2 , all 128.6 d. all 1 108. ail all 195. 100 i 100 100 100 1859 was £50,000, and he trusted that ultimately the vote would be withdrawn from Parliament, Owing to the pro sperity of the colony.

On the vote of £24,728 for the salaries ol f governors in the West Indies and certain other colonies, _ _ _ _ Mr. WILLIAMS thought that the time had arrived when those colonies should support their own governors and ot.er officers, and moved that the vote be reduced by £3,500, the salary of the governor of Jamaica. Mr. CAVE defended the item, which was not only just but necessary, considering the duties which the official in question had to discharge, and Jamaica was not in the prosperous condition it was supposed. After some remarks from Mr. WILLIANte, Mr. FORTESCUE said that the islands of the West Indies were in a very anomalous condition at present, but he assured the hon. member that the vote would disappear from the estimates after some time. The vote was agreed to, as well as a vote of £lB,OOO to defray the salaries, &c., of the stipendiary justices in the West Indian colonies and the Mauritius. Several other minor votes for the civil service of the colonies were also agreed to. The sitting was then suspended at 4 o'clock. The house resumed at 6 o'clock.

Rapley and Welchman, manufacturing jewellers, 72, Dean.. street, Soho, was charged with stealing four rings, nine seals, and six studs, of the value of £36, the property of his employers. George Rilot, of 3, Nassau-street, said he was clerk to the prosecutors. The prisoner had been employed by the firm, and was discharged on Wednesday last. In conse quence of a duplicate being found the police were spoken to, and he was brought to the house. Ihe two rings, nine seals, and six studs produced are the property of the prose cutors, and of the value of about £36. The prisoner had no right to take them to show to customers without entering them in a book. The articles had still the stock marks on them. Gordon, 536 A, apprehended the prisoner at his lodgings at Bayswater. Told him the charge, and at first he denied it, but afterwards said he had low wages and was tempted to do it, and handed him the duplica e of another ring he had pledged. On being taken by him to the prosecutors, prisoner begged for mercy, and took a parcel containin g two rings, nine seals, and six studs. On searching him found £2 18s. 11d, on him. The prisoner was remanded. THAMES. A PAINFUL CASE.—Edward Short, aged 50, a care. worn looking man, who was described as a pigeon dealer, of No. 22, Slater-street, Bethnal-green, was brought before Mr. Yardley charged with stealing two planks of wood, each about 14 feet in length. The prisoner conducted himself in a strange WP .y in the dock, and on being asked his name he replied, 'very sul lenly, "Why, Short, to be sure." On being ftsked his second name he said, " What do you want to know. it for ?" and after the question had been repeated several times by Inspector Beare, of the K division, he said " Edward, if you must know." A policeman, named John Squire, No. 447 K, said that he met the prisoner in Cottage-row, ➢Zile End-road, at seven o'clock this morning carrying two mew deal planks across his shoulders. He asked the prisoner where he obtained them, to which he replied that he gave 4d. for:one of the planks and Bd. for the other. They were both of the same size and quality, and worth 6s. or 7s. They were scaffold boards, and of a superior quality. Mr. Yardley asked the prisoner if he would ask any questions of the witness, te , which he replied—No. What questions have I to ask about it ? John Maxwell, employed on the middle level sewer, near Victoria-park, said the planks belonged to Mr. Rowe, the contractor, and were missing front the bottom of the Victoria -road at half-past 3 o'clock this morning. They were stolen while he was pumping. Mr.Yardley—What have you got to say to this, prisoner ? The Prisoner (sullenly)—Got to say to it ? Mr. Yardley—Yes ; you are charged with stealing two planks of wood. The Prisoner—l have nothing to say about it. The wife of prisoner here got into the witness-box, and said that her husband's mind was affected in consequence of reverses and his having lost a large sum of money. Mr. Yardley—Why do you allow him to go at large ? Mrs. Short said that she studied hor family who wished her husband to be at home. He had nearly destroyed everything in his dwelling and was hopelessly insane. Her own life and the lives of her children were in danger. She had a large family to provide for, and her business, once a large one, now amounted to nothing at all. For the last few nights his conduct had been strange, and he talked about burying his family. Mr. Yardley remanded the prisoner till Monday, and re commended the wife to consult the parish officers of Bethnal-green, and obtain her husband's admission to a lunatic asylum, if censidered necessary for his safety.

Advices from Alexandria announce that the Egyptian Government, which has for some time past been in pecuniary straits, has just obtained a loan of £BOO,OOO from Paris, to be advanced through the house of Lafitte. The rate of interest is to be 6 per cent., and the fact that the loan is given without any security whatever h as strengthened an opinion which arose the moment the nego tiation commenced that the supply is obtained from th e Emperor Napoleon, who will thus, to a certain ex t en t, increase a power over the Viceroy which had already become censiderable, owing to the indiscreet commitments of his Highness to the Suez Canal. PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and the short exchange on London is 25.121 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is nearly 2-10ths per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 423 per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13.41 per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the English Mint price is therefore nearly 1-10th per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg. The course of ex change at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 1094 to 110 per cent., which, when compared with the Mint par between the two countries, shows that the ex change is in favour of England ; but, after making allow ance for charges of transport and difference of interest, the present rate leaves a small profit on the importation of gold from the United States. GOTTENBURG, Aug. 11.—A schooner belonging to Aland, and bound from Newcastle to Stockholm, coal laden, was passed on the 6th Aug. in lat. 67 N. and long. 5 E., with loss of masts, bowsprit, and starboard bulwarks, by the Hazard, arrived here from Newcastle. The crew, it is sup osed, had been taken off by a Dutch fishing craft, that had jot loft ths ffrsok, " There aro anecdotes and stories which, though not ex ceptionable in themselves, become so when told in certain companies, and within earshot of certain individuals. It is not permissible to tell an anecdote reflecting on a party when members of it are present ; or illustrative of the bad manners, morals, or condition of a country when a native of it is one of the company ; in a word, it is always unsafe, when we are thrown among strangers, to speak to the pre judice of any nation, party, or person. It is a Spanish pro verb, often, though not too often, quoted, ' that we should not talk of halters in the house of a man whose fatter was hanged.' Accordingly, we should not describe a death bed scene to one who is sick or bereaved; nor talk of bank rupts with those who have failed ; nor of family quarrels with those who are not happy in their domestic connexions. Full many a story that is told in society is pointed with a moral which secretly pierces some heart that has already bled too freely. 'We know Solomon has said, The words of the wise are as nails and as goads--they have point ; but at the same time the wise are wary, lest their words wound where they were designed only to excite.' " The Art of Precis-Writing. By the Rev. J. Hunter, M.A., Instructor of Candidates for the Military and Civil Service Examinations. Long- man. This a very excellent little work, adapted for the general instruction of youth no less than for the use of civil service candidates. It explains the art of precis-writing, or making digests and abstracts. There are chapters on the reduction of compound sentences, the omission of the lees important ideas, the removal of tautology, pleonasm, and superfluous ornament, all of which furnish excellent instruc tion in composition. A good clear style of writing is of great importance to every man of business, and should assuredly be looked upon as one of the first requisites of a sound English education. Any one who has had occasion for a large mixed corres pondence must have been surprised at the confu sion of words and ideas, the entanglement of phrases, the sentences without proper beginning or end, and even the orthographical blunders which are not uncommon among the respectable classes. This little compendium is admirably qualified to remedy such deficiencies, and we trust will soon be in exteni,ive circulation. flow I Won the Victoria cross. By T. Henry Kavanagh. Ward and Lock. Mr. Kavanagh, of Lucknow celebrity, has thought fit to present the public with an account of How he won the Victoria Cross, as if the fame of his gallant conduct at Lucknow was not world wide. That the Government were slow to acknowledge his services, and that the Victoria Cross, the grand object of his ambition, was at first withheld from hun on certain regulation grounds by mighty red tape authorities, is much to be regretted, but it is nothing new or unnatural in our free and en lightened military authorities. Merit such as Mr. Kavanagh's is not to be rewarded by pecuniary emolument. He has received the much coveted Cross, although given with a bad grace,• to which the reverse of the proverb Qui cito (fat, bis dat may be be applied, viz., a grudged gift loses half its value, and his daring service in India is acknowledged by all to have been one of the boldest, if not the boldest act of bravery and devotion of a campaign in which gallantry was so general. In the little work before us the author briefly sketches the history of his adventures during the mutiny, speak ing in high terms of the different commanders. He gives some amusing anecdotes in one of which we have a sample of Lord Clyde's fiery temper at his own expense. Mr. Kavanagh does not profess to be an author, but he has told !du tale in a straight forward way, and to his blunt style we may attri bute some passages and expressions of discontent, unworthy of the author, which we wish had never been written. GREAT NORTHERN HOSPITAL, KING'S-CROSS.-- Number of patients for the week ending 11th August, 805, of which 337 were new cases. The number of patients treated at the Samaritan Free Hospital for Women and Children, Edwards-street, Portman-square, during the week ending Aug. 11, was 723, of which 154 were new cases.

THE DANGERS OF FLIRTATION. ---An incident oc curred on Wednesday evening, not a hundred miles from shaw's-brow, which produced hearty amusement to every body but the principal person concerned. This was a young gentleman, who has of late been flirting with two ladies, one of whom having been told of him that his attachment to her was only a little nonsense, resolved to give him a little nonsense in return. her notion of nonsense was pecu liar, for she took a stout riding-whip and soundly beat the faithless swain about the head and face. He was so stung by the pain that he raised his fist with the intentron of strik ing his fair assailant. This was perceived by a bystander, who, to prevent anything of that kind, knocked him down, A sympathising young lady, seeing ties blood flowing from the young m an ' s nose , an d l earn i ng the cause of the distur bance, kindly procured a handful of flour and . another of s t Indeed, su thrown in his face his soot, and by the time these w h ap e pe lo a o r k an ed " her faithless admirer, the Liverpool likew as , a to say thein le as t, a s n e 11! departureffi. _ *gy in z g o o l o , d • t cieuily triumphed over el) rotr k Shy e L c o , l u a g lk 9 l f o c n o t zdi e s her „do LITERATURE. Menuotrs of the Life and Writings of the Right Rev. Richard _Hurd, D.D. By the Rev. T. K lived, M.A. Bentley. " This volume," says the author, "is designed as an act of tardy justice to the memory of one who desc.rved better treatment from posterity than he has met with at their hands." No lengthened and authentic account of one, who was certainly emi nent as a scholar and a writer, has appeared since his death, in 1808 ; and yet some features in his career seem especially to have merited such a tri bute. The rise of a man of humble and obscure parentage to an eminent position ; the works of one who was distinguished for his literary attainments, no less than his ecclesiastical dignity, would have been conspicuous in his memoir, and have served to distinguish them from similar biographies. The truth. 'seems to be, however, that the unpopularity of the, court and circle with which he was con ncetc.d have induced the public to regard him with somfi disfavour, and accordingly, as Mr. Kilvert obst irves, " The prevailing idea which most modern readers have of the Bishop is derived not from his b4;12 qualifications as a divine, a preacher, a critic, .an , d man—in all which points he excelled, but fro.i his two controversial pamphlets against Jortin mut Leland, in which his zeal for his friend u.nd patron, Warburton, got the better of his 'temper and discretion. This erroneous impression it is hoped the following account of him may avail to rectify." Mr. Kilvert has made copious extracts from Bishop Hurd's correspondence, and from the incidental notices of him met with in Miss Bur ney's Diary and other works of the time. The most valuable part of the work is, however, the selee~ tions from the Bishop's common-place book. Some of the " Historical Characters" show keenness of perception and soand judgment, while they testify the writer's ready familiarity with the history of many lands. The critical and miscellaneous r jx _ tracts, too, contain many fine thoughts and hap pily worded phrases, though generally speakin2; the style is subservient to the thought, and the expres sions are not always equal to the meaning that lies beneath them. Brief and disjointed as they neces sarily are, these extracts show the scholar, the theologian, the man of vigorous intellect and studious research. Mr. Kilvert has done good service to his memory in bringing his name so prominently before the public, which, in this day, is so little familiar with his life or his writings. On the Right Managenzent of the Voice in Speaking and Reading. By R. W. Cazalet, M.A. Bosworh and Harrison. . This is the third edition of this useful little trea tise, enlarged and improved. It gives a good deal of information respecting the structure of the vocal organs, the right management of the breath in reading or speaking, and various other branches of the subject. The writer, having himself suffered from relaxation of the throat and exhaustion after exertion of the voice, set to work to consider the cause, and therefore affirms that the present expo sition of his opinions is the result of 15 years' study and experience. Being a clergyman, he is well qualified to discuss the subject, and, indeed, he de votes one of his chapters entirely to clerical sore throat. His plan of treating all affections of the voc:tl organs is to consider the natural formation, and especially to avoid in any degree forcing or straining them. We recommend this little work to the attention of all who have occasion to make mitch use of the voice in their profession, especially if they find any inconvenience result from long continued. effort. The Rhetoric of Conversation. By G. W. Hervey. Bentley. This is a work of very excellent intention and considerable ability, but somewhat too professedly pious in its tone to be altogether suited for general readers. It divides the subject into many branches, and treats of them very fully. It is edited by the Rev. Stephen Jenner, M.A., author of " Essays on the Errors of the Day," who prefixes a highly eulogistic introduction. The work is ably written and suggestive, though we regret the continual refer ence to sacred and religious things, and are surprised that a man of the author's sense and judgment does not perceive that his rules and regulations, if fully carried out, would infallibly make a great number of hypocrites.
