CITY, Two o'CLocx. A steady business is reported in the discount market, and during the last few days the rates have exhibited more easiness. The continued sales of stock for delivery have stimulated the demand for money at the 'Stock Exchange, and 4 and 41 per cent. are the current rates for loans.

The principal feature in the English Stock market to-day is its increased depression. A de cline of 1 per cent. took place yesterday, and a further reduction of 1 per cent. is now reported. Several sales having been effected, which, with the market already over burdened with stock, have produced a very favourable effect.

A remarkable instance of obtaining money by fraud has just come to light at Belford, near Aln wick. Stayini , for the shooting season at the Blue Bell Inn in that e small town was Mr. George Dunn, brother of Mr. W. Dunn, of Newcastle, and it so happened that in another part of the town lived a beerhouse-keeper, also named George Dunn. In the latter part of September Mr. W. Woodman, of Morpeth, agent to Mr. G. Dunn, the visitor, des spatched from that place a letter to him, stating that a sum of money due to him (Mr. D.) would be paid to the writer in a few days. This letter was delivered by the letter-carrier to Mr. George Dunn, publican, by whom it was opened and read. A day or two after the above, Mr. Benjamin Woodman, son of Mr. William, wrote from Morpeth, to " Geo. Dunn, Esq., Belford," informing him that he had received oa the day of date the sum of £3OB 3s. due to him, and desiring to be instructed as to the way in which he should dispose of it. "He would have sent a cheque for the amount, but was not quite sure that he (Mr. Dunn) was to be found at Belford." This letter also got into the hands of Dunn, the publican, who this time replied to it. Having misgivings respect in g his ability . to write the letter properly, he obtained the assistance of Mr. Moore, schoolmaster, who wroteto lB M 6o, r. B. Woodman a letter dated 26th September, in ditine. it in the first person, to the effect that he (Mr.. George Dunn) had received a letter from Mr. B. Woodman's father yesterday, but cou ld not h make it all out ; but having received his this morning, e might inform him (Mr. Woodman) that he could either sen d a c h e que for the amount, or else he could bring it on the 3d or 4th of October, when his father would be coming to Belford. The letter was subscribed, " Your obedient servant, George Dunn." On receiving this on the 27th Mr. Wood man despat c h e d a letter to " G. Dunn, Esq., enclos ing a cheque for £3OB 35., which was received on the following day by the publican at Belford. He pre sented it at Messrs. Lambton's bank, in Newcastle, on the 29th, and received the full amount of cash. An answer to this last from Mr. Woodman imme diately had the effect of arousing his suspicions. The writing, the penmanship, and the incorrect orthography showed him it was written by an im perfectly educated person. It stated that husband 3 S o h B e 3s a . c o k w n h o i w c h l e t d h g e e y d h t a h d e " recept" of a cheque for was from "ham" (home). was sig ne d " M rs.

The pair were taken prisoners, and were brought b e f ore the magistrates at Alnwi ck on Saturday, and remanded for further hearing.

THREE PERSONS FOUND DROWNED IN THE REGENT'S CANAL —Yesterday morning Mr. John Hum phreys, the coroner, received information respecting the deaths of three persons found dead in the Regent's Canal. The first case related to the body of William ilog,bin, aged 33 years, which was discovered by a bargeman fl oatin g in the Limehouse •cut of the Regent's Canal.

The deceased was playing on the towing-path, near the Acton-lock of the Regent's Canal, lloxton, when he by some means slipped and fell into the water. An alarm was raised, but the de ceased was dead when taken out of the canal. Another death was reported by Mr. Coningham, the summoning officer of Limehouse. It seems that a boy, named Thomas Paterson, aged 11 years, was found on Monday morning be tween the locks of the Regent's Cculal• basin, commercial -4 Last, BEARE .31ARKET.-(TEIS DAY.)

BEDFORD STAKES. STEALING OATS. James Saunders and George Terry were indicted for stealing eight sacks of oats, the property of Mr. Juden, of Horsleydown. From the evidence it appeared that a quantity of sacks of oats were placed on board the barge Robert, at Shad Thames, from which 8 sacks were abstracted, which were ultimately found in another barge, which the prisoners had charge of. Three ran. SWEEPSTAKES OF 10 SOVS. The jury found Terry guilty, but acquitted Saunders. Mr. Payne sentenced the prisoner to 12 months' im. prisonment, with hard labour. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(TIIIS DAL 1301 V-STREET. POLICE SE/ZUREC IN HOLYWELL-STREET.—This morn ing Superintendent Durkin, of the F division, produced an immense quantity of pictures, photographic slides, books, &c., which he had seized in Holywell•street, Strand, and the keepers of the shops were in attendance to answer the summons which had been served upon them for selling them. Mr. Metcalfe attended, on the part of the Treasury, to prosecute. Inspector Webb said—On Friday last I entered the pre mises occupied by the defendant, 38, Holy well-street, and told him I had authority to search his house fcr a quantity of obscene books and pictures. I found those which I now produce. Mr. Henry—They are of a most disgusting character. I shall order them to be destroyed within seven days from the present time; but in the event of any objection being taken to that course by the defendant I shall send the case to the sessions. Hay acquiesced in the order for the destroying the pic tures. George Clements, of Queen-street, was then called upon to answer a summons for a like offence. r Inspector Fermin of the A reserve force, said—l entered the defendant's shop on Friday last and found the photo graph slides and pictures now on the table of the court. I told the defendant he would have to answer a summons for disposing of such property, when he replied that the slides were not his property, but had been left in his care by a foreigner, but the prints seized he considered did not come within the meaning of the term obscene. Mr. Lewis, who appeared for the defendant, said—l don't think the prints can be considered obscene. They are sold for the purposes of artistic study, and not to gratify an impure taste. I have seen many much more " obscene" productions in many a gentleman's picture-gallery. Mr. Henry—Surely, Mr. Lewis, you don't mean to con. tend they are not obscene ? Mr. Lewis—lf you, sir, are of opinion that they are, I shall not dispute it ; neither shall I object to their being destroyed. Mr. Henry—l think they are indecent, and I order them to be destroyed within seven days. Charles Stephenson was then called on to answer a simi lar summons. Police-constable 25, of the F division, said I have been unable to serve the summons on Stephenson. I have been to his shop in Holywell-street, and also to another he keeps in Frog-lane, but cannot find him. He seems to have quitted both places. Mr. Henry—Very well. I ordered the pictures seized upon his premises to be destroyed. Edwin Dresh and Mary his wife were summoned for a like offence. Mr. Wood appeared for the defendants. Inspector Felton, of the F division, said I went to 15, Holywell-street, on Friday, and entered the shop and saw the female, who gave the name of Mary Dresh, the wife of Edwin Dresh. On searching the house I found the obscene pictures and books I now produce. Mr. H. Wood—l shall not ask the witness any questions. I have seen one of the books ani pictures. I cannot offer any objection to their being destroyed. With regard to some of the books, I submit they ought not to be so severely dealt with. The contents are of a very vague description. Mr. Henry—l think they all come under the description of being indecent. BRITISH MINES. Paid . l Closing I Business Price.

I don't think, however, you can condemn the "letters," as they are called, as being indecent. I think they are a great benefit to mankind in general. Mr. Henry—Do you think it decent to discuss that question ? Mr. Wood—Not if you are of a contrary opinion. Mr. Henry—l am most certainly. I order all to be de storyed ; but the police had better retain a small specimen of the things purchased in case it should be thought advis able to proceed by indictment against the different parties. )5 305 a 31 ,A 135 2 3 51 2 6 1 174 181 73 75 300 310 1271 1324 78 82 2 21 15 16 24 26 I J 23 25 THE.

To-day (Wednesday) the New Common Law Procedure Act comes into operati on , an d w ill e ff ec t some considerable improvements at common law. It recites that it is desirable further to improve the process, practice, and mode of pleading in, and in some respects to enlarge the jurisdiction of, the su perior courts of common law. With regard to eject ments for a forfeiture for non-payment of rent or for non-insuring, the Court or a judge is empowered upon a rule or summons to give relief in a sum mary manner, but subject to an appeal to the Courts of Error. A notice of appeal is to be a stay of execution, provided bail to pay the sum de manded and costs be given. On interpleader pro ceedings an interpleader may be granted, though the titles of the claimants to the money, goods, or chattels in question, or to the proceeds or the value thereof, have not a common origin, but are adverse to and independent one of another. The Court or judge may direct the sale of goods seized in execu tion, and in certain cases decide summarily. A special case may be stated, when the facts are un disputed, for the opinion of the Court. There are several provisions with respect to procedure and practice ; dower, writs of right of dower, and quare impedit are abolished as real actions, and are to be commenced by writ of summons. In pro ceedings to obtain an attachment of debts the judge may refuse to interfere where from the small ness of the amount to be recovered or of the debt sought to be attached or otherwise the remedy sought would be worthless and vexatious. Where a third person is alleged to have a lien he may be required to attend, and the judge may bar the claim and make an order as to the matter in dispute. Costs of writs of mandamus and injunction can new be included in the writs. " When the plaintiff in any action for an alleged wrong in any of the superior courts recovers by the verdict of a jury less than £5 he shall not be entitled to recover or obtain from,the defendant any costs whatever in respect of such verdict, whether given upon any issue or issues tried or judgment passed by default, in case the judge or presiding officer before whom such verdict is obtained shall immediately after wards certify en the back of the record, or on the writ of inquiry, that the action was not really brought to try a right besides the mere right to re cover damages, and that the trespass or grievance in respect of which the action was brought was not wilful and malicious, and that the action was not fit to be brought." The other sections are of a practical character to carry out the Act, which Act, by an Order in Council, may be extended to other courts of record. T.HIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. The few samples of English wheat on offer in to-day's market were chiefly the refuse of Monday, and in very poor condition. They met a dull inquiry, at irregular quotations. Millers generally operated with extreme caution. Foreign wheat was in full average supply. Although the inquiry was somewhat restricted, importers were firm in their demands, and the quotations were supported. In floating cargoes of grain the transactions were less numerous. However, no change took glace in value. All kinds of barley commanded a steady inqury, at very full prices. The malt trade was fins, but no change took place in the currencies. Oats sold at quite Monday's quotations, whilst beans and peas were very firm. There was only a limited demand for flour, at previous rates. The imports are large. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley.

POISONING IN SUFFOLK.—A case of poisoning under somewhat remarkable circumstances is at present undergoing investigation by the coroner for West Suffolk. Mr. Nunn, a farmer of Genevieve, has in his service two persons named Hawkins and Cartis, the former in the capacity of farm bailiff, and the other a labourer. It would appear from the evidence that Hawkins had gone, by per mission to a flour-bag in Curtis's house, for the p ur p ose borrowing some flour. On the following day , a p udding me having been made by Curtis's wife of flour from tn bag, all of those who partook of it were taken ill, poor boy died soon after. Arsenic was discovered_ by th the flour. solved is how the poison came to be mixed 7 3 as if it had surgeon to be the cause of death, and the difficulty to be Judging from what has transpired, it app b tb ee e n m d e o l n u e ti d m e o lib a e u ra a te di l o y um an m d ewnitthbaaa m taken place, to afford an anedsao th n e e evidence. opportunity of bringing forward further morning from Keswick FIRST FALL OF SNOW. --A wri ter in a contem urdereoatls design.

ASSAULTS, &C., BY GENTLEMBN.—Mr. Frederick Keates, of Brazier's-park, Wallingford, Berks, lieutenant in militia, and Mr. William Winwood Reade, 12 A, Mar garet .street, author, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being drunk and disorderly, and Keates further charged with assaulting Sergeant Ycater, 4 C, and Alfred Austin, 318 A. Sergeant Yeater said that at 5 o'clock this morning he saw the two defendants in Arundel-court, very drunk, trying to force their way into a publichouse. He spoke to Keates, requesting him to go away, when he struck him s blow in the eye. He took hold of Keates, and the other (Reade) then seized hold of him (the sergeant), and said he should not take him to the station, Another constable came to his assistance, and had his clothes torn by Keates. Keates said he did not think he hurt the constable—it was done in steadying himself. Reade said he saw the sergeant hit Keates right and left, and it was then he interfered, but it was not to prevent his being taken into custody. He wished to know of the sergeant what he took him for. The sergeant said because he was drunk. He never struck Keates, and it required three constables to take them into custody. A constable proved going to the assistance of the ser geant, and having his coat and hat injured in a struggle which took place. Mr. Tyrwhitt said ho thought it doubtful if Reade inter fered with the intention of breaking the law, It was proved that Keates struck the sergeant, and the upshot was that he would have to pay 10s. or 14 days, and 3s. damage or 4 days more. Reade he should discharge. THAMES. MISAPPLIED BENEVOLENCE.—After Mr. Selfe had heard and decided upon numerous applications for warrants and summonses, advice, and assistance, he stated that he wished to call the attention of the representatives of the press to the case of a boy named Frederick, who had attempted to commit self-destruction by throwing himself into the Lon don Docks, and to the man Emma, who was unjustly charged with participating in the murder of Mrs. Emsley, bailed on the first hearing of the case, and subsequently discharged. He had received two small sums, 25., from W. H., and ls. from a lady for the boy Frederick. He begged leave to inform the donors that, while fully appreciating their benevolent intentions, he must decline to appropriate these sums as desired. To do so would be simply to offer a premium on similar wicked attempts. He must also be excused from being the medium of conveying money to the man Emma, for whom a sovereign had already been for warded from the frequenters of the Blenheim Tavern, St. John's-wood. Emma was not in distress, and the fact of his having been subjected to an accusation on insufficient grounds was hardly a good reason for making him a pecu niary recompense. If Emms was entitled to remuneration, every man innocently charged with crime was entitled to compensation by public and private subscriptions. MIS s SHIPPING.

CUMMING. LECTURE ON PROPHECY, BY Yesterday afternoon, at the Free-trade Hall, Manchester, Dr. Cumming deliv red a lecture to a crowded audience, the subject b e i ng " Th e D estiny and Mission of England in the Pr ophetic Reco r d." Th e R ev. JAMES BAItDSLEY, who pre sided, said that the visit of the lecturer to Manchester was in some way connected with the British Reformation So ciety, which had been formed in this country to counteract the principles and operations of the Church of Rome. The society had stati oned two missionaries in Manchester,. and had granted to the c i ty the sum of £220 during thepast year. He regretted th at the income of the society from Manchester for the same period had only been £l2O, anomaly which he hop e d they would - an strive to remove. (Hear, hear.) Dr. CUMMING commenced by saying he attributed the interest evinced in the lecture to the two sermons he had delivered in the old monastic church of the Oratoire, in the Rue Rivoli, Paris, which had been placed at his disposal by the French National Church, with a feeling of sisterhood which all must admire in the descendants of the illustrious Huguenots. The subject of one of those sermons was the same as he had now chosen, and it excited a great deal of interest both amongst those who were polite enough to tell him that they desired to see the eagles of France shake their feathers in the winds of England, and amongst those who were proud to know that when the said eagles came there was mettle enough in the Volunteers of England alone to meet and repel the attack. (Cheers.) That sermon had been commented upon by the French papers, by those of our own metropolis, and no doubt by the papers of this city, and thus had attained a notoriety. After the lecture in Paris, he was accosted by a gentleman who from his softness of tone and plausibility of manner he recognised as one of the celebrated brotherhood of Ignatius Loyola. This gentleman expressed a very significant opinion with regard to the Pope. He said if he were introduced to Ferretti (the original name of the Pope) he would shake hands with him, for a more benevolent and kind-hearted man never lived; if he were introduced not to Ferretti but to Pio Nono, the holy father, the pontiff, the vicar of Christ, he would kneel down and with all his heart kiss his foot, as a reverence due to so august and exalted a personage ; but if he were introduced to the sovereign of the States of the Church, to the temporal ruler of the Marches, the Romagna, and Civita Vecchia, he would give him a black eye. (Laugh ter.) This was intensely Romish, and showed the exquisite dialectic subtlety which could divide the same personage into three pieces, to be so differently treated. He (the lecturer) disclaimed any pretensions to being a prophet or the son of a prophet. Ho tried to forthtell what the in spired prophets had written, and did not pretend to fore tell, which it would require him to be an inspired prophet to do. He always spoke of the great doctrines of Christi anity with unflinching dogmatism; but when speaking of unfulfilled prophecy he spoke with the utmost reticence, modesty, and reserve, as of a subject on which he might be wrong. There was a glorious issue for this great land. He believed that England was not to go down amidst the wreck of nations; that she was to be the Israel and Judea of Europe itself, and that God had too great a design for her to accomplish—too sublime a mission to fulfil— ever to allow the "first isle of the ocean " to perish amid the awful convulsions which had now begun to agitate and terribly to shake the nations of the earth. No one could look abroad without seeing that we were rapidly drift ing into some new and unexperienced circumstances and situations. The state of Rome at present, as described by the Times correspondent, was a literal fulfilment of the pro phecy that " judgment shall sit to the end ;" and that of St. Paul, " I will consume it by my spirit." The whole of the city was going to ruin. He did not believe that the Popedom was to cease. The screams of the Pope for assis tance were piercing ; his entreaties to those he had been wont to curse were eloquent and affecting ; he appealed to their selfishness and to their religion ; he heard the echo of his appeal, but rarely received an answer. Why was all this? The Popedom was not now to be destroyed; it was being "consumed," and at the close it would be utterly destroyed by the brightness of the Re deemer's personal arrival. He grounded the immediate subject of his lecture on the 18th chapter of Isaiah; and deduced therefrom that the nation spoken of as " scattered and peeled," was the Jewish nation. If asked to cast a glance over the area of Europe along the centuries that, like the corridors of a grand cathedral, were lost in the mist and midnight of the past, what other nation would they select ? This nation was to be reinstated in their own land. For this they were a nation scat tered over every country, and held in mechanical solu tion amongst the Gentiles, but not in chemical, solu tion ; they were insulated, disintegrated, and distinct. Russia and France were to be the great "resistants to the accomplishment of the great promise of the restoration of the Jews to Palestine; but a nation which he identified as England, and which was described in the chapter as "shadowing with wings," Bm. was to present the offering to the Lord of Hosts in due season, and to be blest and owned of him because of so doing. The description of Tarshish, and the words of the 20th verse of the 66th chap ter of Isaiah, strengthen this impression. At the close of this economy which was rapidly rushing to its eve, and was perhaps nearer than some of them - would dare to presume to predict, the Jews were to be restored to their own land. This was to occur in the fulness of the times. Let them mark the controversy that was gathering round Syria. Napoleon, that powerful and sagacious ruler, had a taste for annexation, and he would desire to annex Syria as a counter balance to our Indian possessions. There were 250,000 adherents of the Greek Church who were looking to the Czar as their head. These two powers were now in the neighbourhood of Syria, and whoever held that country possessed the key to all the East. England would never consent that either France or Russia should have it. If he could reach the ear of statesmen he would tell them that the issue of the complication and the settlement of the " situation" was to hoist the signal for God's ancient people to go home. As soon as the " sick man" died—and he was dying fast—England should say there shall be in the East and Syria, as in the West a Belgium, a neutral nation established, and thus the complication would be solved. In doing this she would only be fulfilling prophecy. He did not say that prophecy should be the rule of practice. Punch had said that he (Dr. Cumming) believed the world was coming to an end in 1867, and yet had taken the lease of a house:for 21 years. (Laughter.) This was true ; but the well-known caricaturist had omitted to state the fact that the house could be given up at every seven years. (Laughter.) When he (Dr. Cumming) wanted to know his duty, he looked for the Divine commands ; when he wanted to know his prospects he consulted prophecy. The holiest place was the post of duty. The Bible and the Pro testant liberties of England were her mainstay, and he be lieved she would endure as a lighthouse for the guidance of other nations, and to accomplish the glorious destiny which he believed was indicated in prophecy. (Cheers.) The proceedings closed with the singing of the doxology. ALLEGED " NORTARA" CASE AT TVA R WICK. On Saturday evening last some hundreds of people assembled in front of the residence of Mr. Norman, chemist and druggist, of Smith•street, Warwick, in consequence of a man named George Gates creating a great disturbance about Ann Gates, 1 his daughter, who had been in the service of the former for some few months. It appeared that Mr. Norman was a Catholic, and Gates's daughter, who was between 15 and 16 years of age, having left him, Gates was under the impression that she had been sent to a convent. On Monday Mr. Norman applied to the Warwick bench for a summons against Gates, consdaented. ideri u n s g e his life in danger from the threats m of the previous Saturday, which was g a o d girl, Mr. Norman said the girl was a very negehad not r but was too young for his service. giri. would sent her to a convent, but not go home Mrs. Norman badis swr itten the to the Servants' Home at Handswortd a situation, and might remain there till she ob taineaking that she on e of her own accord. thither she bad subsequentinYtg, which was read by Gates said the following letter, W.

The letter concluded by some allusion to a favourite cat and jackdaw, and was written in a good hand. Gates acknowledged that the letter was in his daughter's handwriting, and on being told that the case would be adjourned for a week he used a host of invectives against the Catholic religion, as being a most " disgusting " religion, and he feared his daughter would be ruined in the mean time. Mr. Greves, solicitor, of Stratford, who happened to be in court, said, " I think you know nothing about it." Some" excitement will attend the hearing of the case on Alonday next, as the clergy arc said to have taken the matter in hand. —Bie-minghana Daily Post.

During the past fortnight reports have been made at the Northern Post cffice, Glasgow, of various thiefts and frauds having been committed, under circumstances of peculiar audacity, by a young female, 16 years of age, an account of whose depre dations we published a few days ago, so far as these were then known. The authorities no sooner re ceived information of the fair unknown's proceed ings than they set about trying to arrest the culprit, but for a long time were unsuccessful, and it was only on Friday last, after almost every expedient in the power of the detective to adopt had been tried, that a young female, answering the description which had been given, was found by Sergeant Pierce, of the Northern district, at a louse in 26, `Water -street. Sb e gave her name as Jane Frame, sixteen years of age, and stated that the person with whom she was living was her mother. This the woman of the house admitted, but denied having had any knowledge of, or participation in, the frauds with which her daughter was charged. Since her apprehension, information has been lodged which swells th e li s t o f h er d e li nquenc i es to 11 dif ferentod eases, including those whi c h h a d b een re prtepreviously, and re vea l s th e systematic scheme of barefaced fraud and deliberate plunder p w r h a i c c t h i s s young differentgirlh p o arts s r t f o r f a le n g e t i h t y o , f a ti d m e o ü b t ee o n f it as fa'r as Shettleston , the same' S that describ e d b y us in , but the mode is al wa y s th e u In the Shettleston case which occurred or formerone notice. the 2 2a 111 4 ,:., she had introduced herself to the people of the house by presenting some orthodox religious tracts, a number of which she:always carried with her. She then explained that shewas a meinber. ofMr. M'Coll's church in Bridgegate, Glasgow—enlarged, with genteel pronunciation and persuasive language, on the many advantages which would ac crue to them by becoming members, also, one of which was, that they would participate i n the benefits of a society connected with Mr. M'Coll's congregation, by whom she was appointed to dis tribute clothing to needy people—all which advan tages, temporal and spiritual, were to be put in their possession on payment Wier of 2s. each. She gained her point. Six shillings were handed to her by the inmates, three in number, and on rising to depart she suggested that one of them, a girl named Elizabeth MTadyen, should accompany her to the city, to receive the cards certifying their ad mission to the church. This was agreed to, and the two set out. On the way, the artful Jane in sinuated that she was cold, and the artless Eliza beth immediately offered her her shawl, which was pronounced to be very acceptable. Having brought the deluded girl into the city, she left her standing in Canal-street, Port Dundas, till she went into some house for the purpose of getting [the cards regularly signed, pro ceeding up a close for said purpose, and, of course, forgot to bring either the cards, shawl, or herself back. The same arts were successfully practised upon a party in the house of Mrs. Mary M‘Geechan or Hardy, 55, Cowcaddens-street, ls. having been obtained from that person, a like sum from Mrs. Catherine M'Donald or M'Luskie, and a semmet from another woman, the money paid being for entry to the church--the semmet to be returned with a similar one, new. In one case she got as much as Bs. from the inmates of one house. The full extent of clothing which she has received from time to time cannot, of course, be ascertained, as some persons may have been " diddled" who have not yet reported their cases ; but it is satisfactory to know that detec tive Joseph Bowker, of the Northern division, has succeeded in recovering all the articles stolen of which information has been given. After her arrest, Mr. 111'0)11 was communicated with, and, on seeing her, he of course said that all her statements about his church were untrue. He gave it as his opinion, however, that she must have attended some of his meetings, from the knowledge she displayed of them, and from her having named several ladies connected with them. The girl was brought up at the Northern Police court on Saturday, and remitted to the sheriff on the eleven different charges above-mentioned.— North Britisi. Daily Mail.

CRYSTAL PA LA CE.—The favourable change in the weather, and the opening of the new West-end Ter minus (Victoria Station), has already had a beneficial effect upon the number of visitors, and nith the special attrac t:ow; announced will probably continue to do so. In de ference to the promoters of the Saturday half-holiday, Saturday next will be set apart for a shilling day. It is reported from Havannah that a president or director of one of the banking institutions at that port has recently absconded with £240,000. STRANGE BUT TRUE.—One day last week a farmer in the neighbourhood of Callender, while angling in the Teith, hooked a largo pike, which with some trouble he succeeded in landing. He had laid it on the bank for dead, when his collie dog happening to brush past it, it caught him by the tail. The dog, howling with pain, plunged into the water in the direction of the farmer's house, the pike still retaining its hold, nor did it relinquish its hold until the dog had reached his master's farm• yard, when he was speedily relieved of his encumbrance. The pike weighed 211bs.—.Alloa Journal. MIXED WOOD AND STONE PAVEMENTS.—When wood payments were first introduced in the streets of Lon don the weather was fine, and people thought that a new metropolitan luxury had been acqui7ed. Everyone re joiced to see the cabs gliding so noiselessly along the the streets, like screw liners in smooth water, the conversa tion possible to be sustained at the ordinary pitch of the voice, and the increased facility of traction which enabled the horse to fly along with his draught as if on a tramway, or that it was only a sleigh on the frozen Nevskoi of St. Petersburg. Tho verdict in favour of the new invention was almost universal—even the Dean and Chapter of St. Paul's adopting it, as we learn from Sydney Smith's cele brated joke. But when the wet weather came matters took a different turn. The comparative silence was still pre served ; but all secure foothold for horses was lost, and serious accidents became of daily and even hourly occur rence. The problem then became, how to preserve the security of the stone and the stillness of the wood, and an ingenious attempt has just been made to solve it by laying wood and stone in alternate rows, a method which it is ix ; pccted will combine the advantages of both systems the nuisance of either. A portion of the cast end of Lombard •street has been laid down in the now manner, and as far as we could judge from a it bids fair examination made by us yesterday, withou present it to answer the purpose intended. t at which is covered with a layer of gravel, and as th es e A ab t w eather ou, and the wind high a good deal of dust fli es I a ' little ; but in afew is dry the neighbouring sh,pkeepers grumble days the road will have attained' turn o i o s u e t , compromise between wood and e n n th tu e to be a very advantageous comp ratsbneorrnal c ondition, and there seems to be little doubt bu_to.rtirnheattlyitdNivmilil stone.

Yells and party cries soon gave place to more powerful arguments. Clubs, pokers, tongs, and, mi.) abile dictu, fiat-irons took precedency of wagging tongues, and a general affray, as well as a somewhat dangerous melee, ensued, in which broken heads were more common than logic. One woman was severely cut on tho head with the angle of a flat-iron, and a man had his knowledge-box rudely visited by a pair of tongs, while another man was stabbed in the chest with a pair of scissors by a woman named Bridget Duffy. A. number of the champions were taken into custody by the police. and the offenders were charged, en Tuesday, before the magistrates with having created a riot and as sault. The woman Duffy was committed for trial ; a man named Clogger, owner of a bookstall, was fined 40s. and costs for striking a woman on the head with a flat-iron; Dennis Kelly was also fined 40s. and costs for breaking the head of John Coupland with a pair of tongs. In both of these latter cases there was an alternative of two months' imprisonment in default of payment. Besides the easels mentioned, it seems that other seven or eight persons were. injured in tho affray, which was mainta ined with great spirit for upwards of an hour.—.
