lIONEY MARKET AND CITY NEII R. CITY, Two o'CLOcx. • The general demand• for discount accommodation, which at present continues very moderate, may re ceive a temporary stimulus from the preparations for the 4th of the month, but the requirements of trade are too limited to produce much animation in ba nking circles, and it is expected that the mini ;until will remain at 21 per cent. some time longer. In the meanwhile bullion is accumulating in consequence of the imports of Australian gold, which largely exceed the exports, and 'we surplus is disposed of to the national establishment. The terms charged for nego tiating fir4-class bills still range as low as 21 per ce nt., and the market is well supplied. Under _these circumstances very little interest is felt in the weekly meeting of the Bank Court, an imme diate alteration in the minimum rate of discount b eing considered improbable. About £20,000 in gold was sent into the Bank Of England yesterday. • The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed With a dull appearance, and prices of all descrip tions were without any change of importance. The sales were estimated at 7,000 bales. In railway , s h ares a fair amount of business was transacted, and a further improvement was apparent in quota- The half yearly meeting of the Linares Lead M ining Company took place to-clay. The report , Was favourable, and showed a net profit on the six months of £11,635 ls. 2d. A dividend at the rate et 12s. 6d. per share, in two payments, had been .made previous to the meeting. A great reduction of charge was expected from the completion of the railway to the sea coast. The report was adopted Unanimously. There has been very little variation in the mar :et for English Securities to-day. It opened it te ady, and rather more firmness is now apparent. us . bless, however, continues inactive, speculation rng dull. Consols have been 951 2-, and they Go vernment since been 954 for money and account. The rvernment Broker has bought £5,000 stock for th e Savings Banks, but the bona fide dealings ',aye been ve r y circumscribed. The New India 'tack is steady, at 1001 -Z-; the Scrip is rather Hatter at 1001 Z ; ditto Debentures (1858) have advanced to 951 4 ; ditto (1859) remain at 951. le..equer Bills are firm, at 235. to 265. prem. Only a very small amount of business is recorded In the Foreign Stock Market, and prices in some Instances show increased firmness. Turkish. 6 per tits. ar e 831 t o 841 ; ditto New L oan , 691 to Russian and the 4 per Cents. have advanced to 1021 41 per Cents. to 100 ; and the Scrip is t 'ady at I dis.

To-day being Michaelmas-day, the election for Lord Mayor took place in the Guildhall. According to the ordi nary course of events, Mr. Alderman Carter, as the senior alderman who has not passed the chair, should quietly take possession of the chief magisterial palace, and exercise the functions of Lord Mayor; but the City of London, in addi tion to its "ancient institutions," founded upon charters and Acts of Parliament, has also its traditions and its an cient usages, not quite so respectable in their origin, and among these a custom which requires that the " long shore men," or city " potwallopers," should be consulted on such an occasion. These are the men who are open to arguments of a peculiar witure, and who, like certain Parliamentary electors, hold back till the last, for the satisfaction of their " convictions." They have a head, who knows well how to make the most of his strength, and who acts as a medium between them and those hap less individuals who require the assistance of "their most sweet voices." At a word from him they pack Guild hall, and shout in sweet accord for some favourite candi date, or lift up a forest of hands in opposition when the " show" is taken. Failing their support, the candidate is sure at the least to be put to considerable inconvenience ; assured of their support he is sure of success. Seldom, therefore, has it been that they have not been consulted, prior to Michaelmas-day. Sir R. Carden, it is true, refused to treat, and even charged the person who made overtures to him on their behalf with attempting to extort money, and that person was committed for trial from the Mansion house justice-room upon the charge. But the revelations which took place during the progress of the case there proved too plainly that the " custom had existed from time immemorial," and the grand jury ignored the bill. Since that day the " long-shore men" have been triumphant ; and (or so rumour says) they have determined that Mr. Alderman Carter shall not succeed Lord Mayor Wire. Why they have done so is not palpably apparent, but, probably, the real reason of their opposition is that Mr. Alderman Carter has declined to accept their support on the" usual terms." At all events, their leader openly boasts that he shall not be chosen, and that the choice of the livery, evidenced by the show of hands, shall fall on Mr. Alderman Cubitt and Alderman Sir H. Muggeridge as the two to be returned to the Court of Aldermen for their selection. Sir H. Muggeridge is the man whom the "long shore men" more especially delight to honour, and, antici pating the refusal of Mr. Alderman Cubitt to accept the office, they point confidently to the former as the new Lord Mayor. Shortly before twelve o'clock the Lord Mayor and sheriffs, THIRD EDIT I ON. SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clock. AQUA7ICS. BOAT RACE FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE THAMES AND £4+6►O. This great aquatic event,which.:--has for some time engaged th e u t mos t a ttention, was brought to an issue this afternoon, the names of the competitors being Henry Kelly, of Fulham, Champion of the River Thames, and Robert Chambers, the Champion of the Tyne. In addition to the distinguished honour each man staked 200 sovs., making the prize 400 sovs. For upwards of two years Kelly has held his laurels secure from all coiners, but his opponent of to-day has long been gaining a reputation which has re sulted in his admirers backing him in challenging Kelly. Chambers's last triumph at Newcastle was over Thos. White of London, who, it will be recol• lected, vanquished the celebrated Harry Clasper in his race on the Thames. The race was appointed to take place at four o'clock, and the course was the usual one, viz., from Putney-bridge to the Ship at Mortlake. The weather was splendid, and the appearance of the river at the starting point was very animated. Crafts of all descriptions appeared to have been called into requisition, and up to the moment of the start steamers kept arriv ing, loaded with the friends of the competitors, each of whom sported either Kelly's or Chambers's favours. Shortly after four the men rowed to the starting point, and Chambers, having won the toss, took the Middlesex, and Kelly the Surrey side of the Thames. Betting at starting-6 to 4on Kelly.

A nosegay having been presented to each, according to ancient custom, by the usher of the court, a procession was formed from Guildhall to St. Lawrence Church, conducted by the junior marshal, in the following order:— Sheriff? Chaplains. Under Sheriffs. High Bailiff of Southwark. City Solicitor. Remembrancer. Controller. Secondary. Common Pleaders. Judges of the Sheriffs' Court. Common Sergeant. Town Clerk. Chamberlain. Sheriffs. Aldermen below the Chair. Recorder. Aldermen past the Chair. Senior Marshal. Lord Mayor's Chaplain. Common Crier. Sword Bearer. Lord Mayor. At the conclusion of the service the procession left the church, and returned to Guildhall, where hustings had been previously erected at the east end, on which the Lord Mayor took his station, with the Recorder and aldermen who have passed the chair on his right, and aldermen who have not passed the chair on his left. The COMMON CRIER. then desired silence, and formally declared the Common Hall open for the election of a Lord Mayor. The RECORDER, in a few words, exhorted the livery to do their duty fearlessly and honestly. The Lord Mayor, attended by the aldermen and Recorder, then retired to the Council Chamber, preceded by the Mar shal and Sword Bearer, leaving the sheriffs, attended by the Common Sergeant, to proceed to the election. The names of the aldermen who had not passed the chair were then read over, and the livery being desired to choose two out of those aldermen to be returned as their choice to the Court of Aldermen, a show of hands was taken for each, separately, and declared to have fallen upon Alderman Carter and Alderman Cubitt, the next in succession. The officers then retired to the Court of Aldermen to ac• quaint that Court with the result of the election. The Court of Aldermen then "scratched" in the usual way; the Recorder, Town Clerk, and Common Sergeant having sorutinised the votes, reported the majority to be in favour of Alderman Carter, who was thereupon declared to be duly electtnd 1",,,Yr.4 Mayor for the year ensuing, and con ducted by the Sword Bearer to the seat on the left of the Lord Mayor. The Lord Mayor, with the Lord Mayor elect on his loft hand, accompanied by the aldermen, then returned to the hustings ; and The RECORDER declared to the Common Hall that Alder man Carter had been elected. The COMMON CRIER then, in the usual form, called upon Alderman Carter to come, forward, and declare his consent to fill the office. The LORD MAYOR elect (who was received with ap plause) accordingly advanced to the front of the hustings, and, after being then invested with the chain of office by the Sword Bearer, briefly stated his willingness to accept the office, and his determination, by the help of the corpo ration and the support of the livery, to support the honour and dignity of the office, and maintain the rights and pri vileges of the city. He then, having thanked the livery for his electiop, said he ought not to depart without saying that it woald be his especial duty to tako care of their ancient rights, and to see that in any change that might be proposed by the Government for the better regulation of the city the rights of the livery were preserved. (Cheers.) He concluded with a vote of thanks to the late Lord Mayor. The LORD MAYOR (Aldo an Wire), in acknowledging the vote, said thatietaptufmised when elected to devote his whole time and energies to the duties of the office, and he could now assure them that since that time ho had not been absent a single day. (Cheers.) A vote of thanks to tho lord Mayor and Sheriffs closed the proceedings. The Lord Mayor elect then accompanied the Lord Mayor in his state coach to the Mansion-house, attended by the aldermen, sheriffs, and officers, whom the Lord Mayor will this evening entertain at dinner. Not the slightest opposition was offered to the election of Alderman Carter. THIS DAY'S' MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE.

At 13 min. 12 secs. past four the start took place —Chambers having the best of it. In a few very powerful strokes he took the lead, Kelly exerting his utmost to recover that which his supporters thought but a temporary advantage. At the Crab Tree, Chambers improved his lead, having pulled quite clear of his opponent by about two boat lengths. Chambers, shortly after passing the Crab Tree, commenced crossing the river for Ham mersmith, and in doing so increased the advantage he had already obtained over his opponent by passing the bridge at least four boat lengths in advance Here :Kelly put on his greatest power, and made the most desperate efforts to overhaul Chambers, but it appeared quite fruit less. At Chiswick Eyot Kelly gained a trifle, but not enough to encourage his desponding backers, who seemed to regard the race as "all over but shouting." Chambers from this point had the race all to himself, and arrived at the winning post at Mortlake at 21 min. 30 sec. to five, half a minute before Kelly, and with a lead of from 80 to 100 yards. The cheering that arose from the friends of Chambers was immense. , The only accident that occurred on the river, which was covered with steamboats, was the swamping of an eight-oared cutter, containing Chambers' crew. The men were all quickly re scued from the water, but of course such a circum stance precluded them from further attending on their man. The attendance of spectators on the banks of the Thames, near Mortlake, was extraordinary, and an aquatic sportsman declared that although he had seen all the great matches that had taken place for the last twenty years, he never saw so many people assembled as there were this afternoon. The umpires were Salter for Kelly, and Henry Clasper for his friend and townsman. Mr. Searle was the referee. Kelly trained at Salters, the Feathers, Wands worth; and Chambers at the Star and Garter, Put ney. NEWMARKET BACES-(THIS DAY). [BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.] TENTH TRIENNIAL STAKES.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) - Rumours are of course rife at the naval ports as to the reinforcements for China. Reports one day are contradicted the next, hence it is difficult to give a reliable account of the reinforcements actu ally going; indeed it appears to us that the autho rities have in most cases only given instructions that the particular ships and troops shall be in readiness for orders, &c. The most reliable autho rities state that no troops of the line will be sent, and that Major-General Sir Hope Grant is to have the military command. We understand that Go vernment did not, at the Cabinet Council on the 17th inst., called on the China question, commit themselves definitely to any course ; and it is pretty well known that Lord John Russell looks more gravely on our making war on Pekin than Lord Palmerston, and the rumour of dissatisfaction at Mr. Bruce's actions is gaining ground. The following vessels have been named for de spatch to China in the various orders transmitted to the dockyards, but our readers may know that the Admiralty are rather famous for orders and counter-orders, so that we cannot look upon these with any certainty. It is stated by the Times' naval correspondent that 50 gun-boats are to be despatched, and that a great number are in perfect order in the covered slip at Chatham :—Challenger, 21, and Imperieuse, 5 guns, screw corvettes. Icarus, 11; Encounter, 14 ; and Pearl, 20 guns, screw sloops. Odin, 16 ; Sphynx, 6 ; Centaur, 6 ; paddle whed, frigates. Pioneer, Ringdove, and Mohawk, screw sloops, each 6 guns. Renard, Snake, Alac rity, Foxhound, Wrangler, Eagle, and Victor, each 4 guns. The gunboats Havoc, Hardy, Swinger, Grasshop per, Jackall, Flying Fish, Fit efly, Locust, Skip jack, Cockchafer, Weasel, Bouncer, and Snap have been ordered to prepare. The pioneer of the squadron sailed on the 22d inst., and is appropriately called the Pioneer, Com mander Reilly. The Pioneer was put in commis sion for service on the West Coast of Africa, but, having received counter instructions from the Ad miralty, was got ready within 24 hours for her pre sent duty. This is a spice of smartness, which shows our Lords of the Ad m i ra lty ca p a bl e of meet ing emergencies. The Scout, 21, screw, Capt. John Corbett, sailed from Spithead for China yesterday. The Pearl, 21, screw, Capt. John Borlase, C. 8., is to follow in a few days. The Odin, 16, paddle-wheel steam frigate, was • commissioned 3 esterday by Captain Lord John Hay, C. 8., for China.— china Telegraph. THE EXPLOSION IV BIRMINGIIAM. The precise number of deaths ascertained up to last night was 18, and of the 75 persons who were employed on the premises 65 have been accounted for ; but as the books were burnt, and the addresses of many of those who were engaged upon the pre mises were not known, the police have been unable to ascertain what have become of the remaining ten, but it is p!obable that some of them were ab sent at the time the explosion occurred. Several of the bodies have not been identified, so that the in quest cannot take place before Thursday. The ruins have been carefully dug over, and it is believed that there are no more bodies entombed. Those of the sufferers who were carried to the Gene ral Hospital have received the unremitting atten tion of Mr. Crompton and the other medical staff; Dr. Evans also visited them yesterday. Half-a dozen of the poor creatures who lie there have re ceived injuries of the most frightful character, so that it is doubtful whether some of them will re cover- No light whatever has yet been thrown upon the cause of the explosion, but there appears to be no doubt that gunpowder on the premises magnified the disaster very greatly. A strong feeling exists as to the duty of the Home-office to send down a commissioner to attend the inquest, in order that the investigation may be searching, and with the view to the institution of an inquiry as to the pro bable quantity of gunpowder kept oa the premises of other parties in the neighbourhood in which the explosion occurred, and also in reference to the means adopted for its safe custody, which there is reason to fear are much too lax. A considerable number of the principal inhabi tants resident in the locality of the explosion have signed a memorial expressive of their opinion that the time has arrived when duty calls upon them to oppose the future continuance in towns of manu factories where so large an amount of combustible material is required. The Council of the Chamber of Commerce also assembled yesterday—Mr. H. V. Wart, one of the borough magistrates, in the chair. A resolution was passed requesting the chairman to communi cate with the mayor in reference to the recent seri ous loss of life in the town by the .several explo sions which have recently taken place. FIGHT WITil THE INDIAN'S IN CALIFORNIA. The following is taken from a letter, dated San Francisco, August 20, relative to the -actions that have taken place between the United States' troops and the Mohave Indians : " By the overland mail which arrived this morn ing we have received the following important news from the Mohave country. The correspondent of the Star at Los Angelos, writing from Fort Mo have on August 6, furnishes the following : " Major Armistead left Fort Mohave with 25 men late in the evening of the 4th inst. for the lagoon, 15 miles below this fort, the head quarters of the Mohave Indians. Lieut. Marshall was directed to follow with a reinforcement of 25 men early next morning by the mail train. Major Armistead succeeded in gaining the head of the lagoon by a circuitous route, unobserved by the In dians, during the cover of night. " At about six o'clock on the morning of the sth he commenced to reconnoitre down the left bank of the lagoon. The trails leading down showed heavy signs of Indians. He had not proceeded more than a quarter of a mile when three Indians MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ATTEMPTED ROBBERY IVITR VIOLENCE.—John Drew, a powerful-looking young man, well known to the police, and who is in the habit of hanging about houses where pugilists resort, was charged before Mr. Bingham with being concerned with another, not in custody, in violently assaulting a country gentleman, named William Docking, at present staying at St. James's Hotel, Strand, and steal ing from his person one £5 note, a cheque for £5 18s., and other moneys. Mr. Docking said that on the evening before last ho was at Mr. Count's, the Coach and Horses, St. Martin's-lane, where he stopped two hours, seeing the prisoner and others sparring, and had treated the prisoner to some ale. He left about half-past 10, and when he had got about 20 yards down the lane, in front of a shut-up house, and where it was rather dark, he was suddenly knocked down by a blow given' sideways; and though ren dered incapable of assisting himself, he was yet conscious enough to tell that he was being robbed also, and he believed by two men. On recovering a little he found that the property above mentioned was stolen from him. He afterwards received information from Mr. Caunt (who was present in court), and the prisoner was taken into cus tody. Ho had not recovered any of his property. Miss Caunt said the prisoner left the house with the pro secutor, who had been drinking.

WAR MOVEMENTS FOR CHINA. A NEW MODE OF SII'INDLIXG. A correspondent of the Shipping and Mercantile Gazette writes :—" I beg to report for ge neral information, through your valuable paper, a novel style for procuring money by a person who lived at No. 9, George•street, Minories, about 10 days ago. He is about five feet seven inches in height, of slender build, sallow com plexion, light hair, moustache and beard, age, I think, about 36, said he was a Canadian by birth, and has a wooden arm. He represented himself to be the nephew of and part-owner with an old gen tleman who resides in Liverpool, and under whose care the said nephew had been brought up ; that they had bought a vessel and wanted a commander for her, for which purpose he had an advertisement put in the Times:- The vessel would sail principally about the West Coast of America, and the induce ments were good, as is the case with vessels sailing out of San Francisco. The barque would in all probability load guano on their own account; that was also a reason for giving such good wages. But, unfortunately, his uncle had engaged a person with whom he was dissatisfied, and he could not get quit of him without paying him £5O. As an agreement was made between them he had offered £25, but lie would not take it, and his uncle, whom he would not displease for the world, said that the arrangements his nephew made would be entirely on his own responsibility. His proposition was this, that the party to whom he gave the command should pay the other part. Now, being out of em ployment, and anxious to get a command, I re quested to see the vessel, when we both went to the St. Katharine's Dock, and had a thorough exami nation of a vessel there. In the meantime other applications for the command were made to him, and eventually I agreed to give him part of the money on the agreement being drawn out, which was accomplished on the 12th of this month, but since that time I have not seen him, nor is it likely I ever shall again, if he can help it. On the fol lowing morning I called at his hotel, according to orders, and after waiting some time the greatest consternation become visible in the countenances of many besides myself, particularly when we found that he he had not slept at his lodgings that night. I then found that he had corresponded with other commanders at different parts of Great Britain, and put them to the trouble and expense of coming to London, which testimony I suppose they will bear me out in. We gave his description to the Detec tive Police-office, and sincerely trust that such a systematic swindler will be apprehended and brought before the court. I enclose you a copy of the agreement between Rowell Hardin and myself." CALJNITOUS FIDE AND LOSS OF LIFE At a late hour 'on Tuesday night a fearful con flagration, which wad not entirely extinguished until eight o'clock yesterday morning, took place in the premises belonging to Mr. IV. T. Goodwin, a picture-frame maker, situate at the rear of the house numbered 20, John-street, Fitzroy-square. The engines of the B and C districts, to the number of seven, were quickly set to -,cork, when, all of a sudden, owing to the action of the fire upon the beams in the lower pal t of the building, the entire structure fell, burying beneath the blazing timbers seven or eight of the firemen. The more fortunate-of the brigade, nothing daunted, rushed into the middle of the burning property, and, by removing the red-hot wood, they managed to pull from underneath the beams Paul Jerrard, the engi neer; Johrson, the sub-engineer; and ,Valosd, Stephen Martin, James Lee, and John EilbeZY,-lire men. The poor men were all more or less injured by burns dislocation, or contusions, and Eilheek, uho was one of the senior firemen, was found doubled up and quite dead. The remainder of the firemen, although exposed to great danger, still kept to their work, and eventually:succeededin gc tt!ngthe fire extingu:slled The damage done is thus officially reported by Mr. Braidwood :—No. 20, John-street, Fitztoy square, Mr. W. T. Goodwin, picture-frame maker, timber and brick workshops of one and two stories high, 40 feet by 20 feet burned and fallen down at the back of the - dwelling-houses —cause of fire un known.

John Eilbeck, senior fireman, No. 59, killed by the falling of the building. were espied on the opposite side of the lagoon plant ing beans ; three men crawled up the bank and fired upon them and killed one : the others fled and gave a yell, which soon the whole country about seemed to reverberate. After proceeding about half a mile further through the heavy thickets of arrow wood, the major thought it prudent to return to the head of the lagoon, as the Indians apparently were ga thering in large force. Here at the head of the lagoon, on the right bank, he took a position, the men deployed in groups of four each, at about 20 paces interval, occupying the high grounds on the edge of the lagoon. The lagoon here is about 25 yards wide. On the opposite side of the lagoon from this position is a dense thicket of arrow wood, along the bank of the lagoon a few scattering cot ton wood. To the rear of the position, and close up, is a grove of mesquit, the ground open and clear underneath. Here they awaited the Indians, which was not more than 20 minutes, when they commenced to show themselves in large force, sur rounding the position, and closing in on all sides, within short range of the rifle muskets, which wei e soon brought into play with deadly effect. Major Armistead thus fought them for three-quarters of an hour against overwhelming, numbers, which were increased every moment by the arrival of fresh warriors from the more distant places, when Lieut. Marshall arrived with a reinforcement of 25 men. The lieutenant had heard the firing when yet some four miles from the scene, and hurried his men up at a double quick. The Indians upon the extreme right were taken very unexpectedly by the arrival of this-party in their rear, which-Lieut. irshall immediate'y charged, driving them - from their position. " Major Armistead, learning the proximity of the second party, immediately ordered a sergeant and eight men to cross the lagoon, and charge the Indians in front in the arrow wood, which was suc cessful, and drove the Indians beyond gunshot. Major Armistead, recalling these men from the op posite side, ordered Lieut. Marshall to cross and take a position on that side. The Indians, though forced to retreat, were not beaten; they soon rallied and returned to the fight, attacking the party of Lieut. Marshall with great pertinacity. This con tinued for some 10 or 15 minutes, when he was ordered to fall back again, recross the lagoon, and take a position facing to the rear parallel to the first party, as the Indians were showing a disposition to charge the position on all sides at the same time. Not liking this manoeuvre, Atey withdrew them selves out of reach of gun-shot, giving occasionally a few random yells. The men finding nothing more to do crowded under the sl ade of the mesquit trees, as the sun was very hot; they remained for about two hours without being disturbed. " ' Major Armistead, believing the Indians to have given up the fight, ordered the command to fall in, and commenced. the march back on foot. The command had not proceeded far when the Indians again rallied, and crossed the lagoon at the position just left in great numbers. " Major Armistead, anticipating the attack, halted the command, faced by the rear rank and deployed them on the bank of the lagoon, which was here wide and deep. The whole body of In dians came running up, yelling and whooping, and charged fearlessly upon the command, the bravest of them coming up to within 10 and 15 yards of the muzzles of the rifles. These, however, paid dearlsfor their temerity ; the steady and well directed fire of the men held them in check, when, after 30 minutes' hard fighting, Major Armistread ordered the command to charge them, which was done fearlessly. The Indians raised and broke in every direction, perfectly discomfited ; not a yell or a sound of any kind was to be heard from them after this; the victory was complete.. Twenty-three Indians were found dead close to the position ' • the ground further off was not reconnoitred. In fact, many were seen carrying their dead and wounded from the field. It is supposed that some 50 or 60 have been killed. Of the command three men were slightly wounded. The command returned to the fort on the evening of the sth inst.' " ANNIVERSARY OF MAXIN'S DEATH. The death of Manin took place two years ago, in Paris, on the 22d of September, but the celebration of that event may be said to have commenced on the present occasion on the 19th, when the delegates of Piacenza, Modena, Parma, and Bologna were received by the people of Milan, and the public buildings were draped in mourning and covered with inzmortelles. The Piazza San Fedele was gorgeously decorated, and made as far as possible to resemble the Piazza in Venice—the winged lions of St. Marco reposing beneath num berless tricolor flags. On the 22d the whole popu lation of Milan may be said to be abroad. The peo ple were all in mourning. The splendid cathedral at Milam, the Duomo, where the ceremony was to take place, was the chief point of attraction. From its lofty roofs were suspended mourning flags with the initial letters of Manin's name, whilst the escutcheons of the different Italian cities lighted up the spacious nave. Over the entrance was the fol lowing inscription :—" Anniversary of the death of Daniel Manin—the desire of an immortal hope." When the bells commenced to toll the funereal peal, the cathedral doors were opened, and in a mo ment the church was filled. Conspicuous amongst the rest were to be seen the high functionaries of Sardinia and Lombardy; Massimo d'Azeglio, with the elite of the Sardinian Chambers, army, and mu nicipality ; Count Arnoni, with the chief men of Genoa, Turin, Venice, Mantua, Modena, Trieste, Reggio, Parma, Piacenza, and Bologna; the Go vernor and Mayor of Milan, with the civil and military authorities of Lombardy. The lawyer Tommaseo, who stood out to the last with the illustrious deceased in defence of Venice, headed the Venetian deputation, and presided over the ceremonial in honour of his illustrious and heroic friend. Legouve and Henri Martin represented France on the occasion, and several Englishmen came purposely to Milan for the purpose of ex pressing, by their presence, their sense of the worth of the deceased, and their wishes for the future independence of Italy. The place of honour was appropriated to Giorgio Manin, the son of the deceased, whose father, mother, and. sister, all died in exile. An immense and splendid catafalque ocecupied the nave of the church, It was surmounted by a colossal statue of Venice, 'weeping for her Hero, and scattering crowns of laurel on his tomb. Each side bore an inscription. One ran thus : —" To the Venetian who desired the unity of Italy. The Lombards and 'Venetians, in woe, which is understood by their brethren of Italy and of France, demand their common share of eternal liberty." The" other: was as follows :—" To the liberating God of the oppressed, who hope and act with that devotion which embraces all the dead and those who are to die in the love of their country, the sur vivors, in mourning, address their prayers." An enorn - ous 'wreath, which was smuggled from Venice through the Austrian frontiers, encircled the coffin, and contained the following :—" This pledge of affection and grief has been sent by Venice for the tomb of Daniel. Manin." The Milanese matrons, dressed in black, walked thei Venice.cal catafalque, m lque, and ki sse d thi s sy '°ftelsafesuignure t grief' ofe -a oration which The priest of San Fidele reads ll ol ol a c P Valussi—a refugee from Venice. Whilst the venerable clergyman was recounting the sufferings of Venice in passionate and moving language, a cry of " occorso a Venezia." (Help to Venice) spon taneously burst forth from one of the officers pre sent and produced a strong effect on the entire assembly. When the ceremony was concluded nothing was heard but cries of "Evviva Manin ! evviva Mania !" In the evening the people assem bled before the house of Tommasco, and the Vene tian volunteers who served under Garibaldi played several of those melancholy airs which are chanted by the boatmen of the lagoons. Thus the ceremony ended and it will be long ere it passes away from the memory of the Italians.
