.11101VEY iA RICE2' ANI) CITY NE If S. CITY, Two o'CLocx. The influx of bullion at the Bank of England still continues, about £lO,OOO in Russian gold having been taken there yesterday. The remaining Portion of the American supplies lately received has been purchased on Continental account, show ing that there is still a steady demand for ex portation. As the movement, however, is very moderate it is expected that the remittances coming forward from Australia will cause a further addition to the metallic reserve, especially as the general receipte are likely to be augmented by arrivals from New York, where the exchange is now favour able for the transmission of gold. There is little alteration to report in the silver market, as business is still rather quiet, but the tendency of quotations is in an upward direction, in consequence of the late advance in the Indian Efelitiffees, which will pro bably lead to larger consignments. Mexican dol lars are now Zd. per oz. higher than at the begin ning of last month. In the Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon a general tendency to advance was apparent. To-day a call of £1 per share, or £lB,OOO, is due on the Newry and Armagh Extension Railway. Accounts from Liverpool report that in the Cotton Market yesterday rather less animation was apparent, but prices remained firm. The sales were 8,000 bales. The Railway Share Market closed quietly, and previous rates were barely sup ported. The public sales of indigo commenced yesterday, at which there was a moderate attendance of buyers, and an advance of 3d. to 6d. per lb. on the finer qualities was established on the prices realised at the July sales. The demand for money is tolerably well main tained, but the rates remain without alteration. In the course of a few days, when the effect of the dividend payments is fully developed, the market may present a quieter appearance. At the meeting of the Sambre and Meuse Rail way Company, to-day, R. P. Richards, Esq., in the chair, a dividend of ls. 6d. per share for the half year was declared. The traffic of the last six months had been lessened owing to the late floods, and con sequent damage to the line. The report was adopted. A fair amount of business has been reported to day in the Stock Exchange Markets, which have continued firm ; in some instances quotations have tended upwards, the abundance of money and the influx of gold having excited a favourable influence. As special transfers can now be effected in the New Threes, Reduced Annuities, Bank Stock, &c., more activity prevails, but the speculative dealings, as well as the investments on behalf of the public are conducted with cau tion, no disposition being shown to enter into extensive engagements. Consols have been 95 1 I for Toney, and 951 96 for the Bth proximo. The Goverliment broker has not resumed his invest ments for the Savings Banks' Commissioners. ,The New Threes and the Reduced Annuities are steady at 9 , 41; the New 21 per Cents. have receded to 79i; Bank Stock is firm at 220 to 221; India ditto at 2171 to 218 ; ditto New at 1011 to 102 ; ditto Scrip at 1011 to 102 ; ditto Loan Debentures (1858) have advanced to 956 ; ditto (1859) to 951 I; and Exchequer Bills remain at 245. to 275. prem, Rather less animation has prevailed in the Foreign Stock Market, but prices are tolerably well maintained. Turkish 6 per Cents, are 79 to 80, ex. div. ; ditto New, 69 to 70 ; and the 4 per Cents. have advanced to 103 and 1031 ; Mexican, to 221 4 ; and Russian Scrip, to s dis. Buenos Ayres 6 per Cents., however, have receded to 781 79 ; Peruvian 3 per Cents., to 694 ; an d ditto Dollar Bonds, to 82-1„ A. very limited amount of business has been transacted in the Railway Share Market, and the variations in prices have barely exceeded a per cent. Eastern Counties, Great-Western, and Man chester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, declined 55.; and London and Blackwell, lOs ; South-Western, Lan eaallire and Yorkshire, Midland and North-Eastern (Berwick), advanced ss. In the Foreign and Colonial Markets there has been very little activity. Great Luxembourg, Pernambuco, and Lombardo - Venetian realised former rates. Grand Trunk of Canada have improved to 384- I, and Great Western of Canada Were steady at 131. Joint-stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares remained extremely dull. Provincial of Ireland declined to 7 2k, and Aust ra li an A gr i cu l tura l mar k 3 %. The scrip of the Burham Brick and Pottery Company remains steady at bto prem.

The .- Quebec, 660 tons, of New Orleans, ‘-;4l3tain Ruark, from Bo r d eaux , for Shields, ran on t he Eddystone Rocks at five o'clock yesterday after noon. Her jibboom end was within 19 feet of the south-west kitchen window of the lighthouse—the Window being 70 feet high. At half-past 9, owing to a fresh breeze from the eastward and the falling of the tide, the ship slipped off , again, and the crew returned, and, with the help of the pilot boat heroine, attempted to beach her on the Cornish coast, but the sand ballast choked the pumps, and she sank one mile S.S.W. of Downderry Preven tive Station, where she will be covered at high Water. While on the rocks, boats, offering assist ailee, came from her Majesty's screw steam frigate ,r ° Paze, 51, Captain the Hon. W. S. Spencer , w hich " a d just left the Sound for Vancouver's Island.

TRIS DAY.) SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Kerr.) THE ROBING MOVEMENT. -SINGULAR SCENE IN COURT, . . _ This morning the Court sat for the first time since the middle of September, and many striking alterations have taken place. In the body of the court the table has been removed at which Mr. Osgood, chief clerk, and Mr. Aik man, chief bailiff, were accustomed to sit, and in its place is substituted a raised desk, covered with red baize. The witness-boxes are placed much nearer the judge and attor nies frequenting the court. As regards the robing of soli citors, Messrs. Buchanan, Moss, Beard, and Spiller appeared in full ceremony. Some other gentlemen, riot being aware , that the practice would be adopted, were taken by surprise. His Honour wore a judge's wig, and Mr. Aikman, the chief bailiff, appeared in a wig and gown, as also did Mr. Thompson (excepting the wig), who sat for Mr. Osgood. The assistant-bailiffs were robed, and altogether the court wore a striking aspect. After expressing himself well pleased to see his suggestions carried out, his Honour pro ceeded with the business. As the day progressed, various solicitors who had come without sent for their robes, and appeared in them. His Honour has appointed a room at the top of the house as a robing-room, and every comfort is to be found therein. SINGULAR CASE UNDER THE PAWNBROKERS' ACT- BARTER AND ANOTHER V. ABRAHAMS AND 'WIFE. This was an action to recover £3 10s. money lent, and 3s, 3fd. interest on the same. Mr. Humphreys, jun., appeared for:the plaintiffs, and stated the case as under :—On the 4th of April last Mrs. Abrahams, in company with her mother, pledged at plain tiffs' shop two dress-lengths for £3 10s. On the 12th July following Mrs. Abrahams again attended at the shop, and, producing four dress-lengths, asked £lO. Some dispute arose, and Mrs. Abrahams said she wished to redeem the property pledged on the 4th April. Plaintiffs' assistant advanced the £lO demanded and handed over the property redeemed, neglecting to deduct from the £lO the sum of £3 10s. and interest. It was not until the evening that the assistant found out his mistake, and he knew he had not received the redemption money by no interest being marked on the ticket. Plaintiffs' assistant was called, and said that he had not received £3 10s. with interest from Mrs. Abrahams. Mrs. Abrahams said she paid the money when she re deemed the goods. His Honour did not see how the husband could be made liable. Mr. Humphreys—We join the wife with him. His Honour—You can't sue a married woman. Mr. Humphreys—By the Pawnbrokers' Act the party pledging is deemed to be the owner. His Honour—As I understand it, that portion of the statute was intended to give the pawnbroker a title in the goods. I don't see how you can sue the husband by rea son of the wife's having received the money in error. You must show agency. There is no proof that she had autho rity to pledge the goods. Mr. Humphreys—No; and so we sue the wife. His Honour—You cannot make the husband liable for a fraud committed by the wife. You have shown no agency. Mr. Humphreys thought that by the terms of the Pawn brokers' Act he could sue the wife as owner of the goods. His Honour observed that he had no case before him, and must nonsuit. MASTER AND APPRENTICE.-BOWER V. SMITH. Plaintiff sought to recover £6 for board and lodging supplied for eight weeks to defendant's apprentice. Mr. Buchanan appeared for defendant, an extensive car penter, of Tower-street, in the City. Plaintiff's brother said his nephew WAS bound to defen dant for seven years, and defendant had agreed to pay so much per week for his board and lodging. Mr. Buchanan—ls that agreement in writing ? Witness—No. His Honour—Then by the statute of frauds you cannot recover upon it. You must be nonsuited. Mr. Buchanan stated that defendant's objection to pay was not taken upon a legal technicality, but :n consequence of the misconduct of the apprentice, who has already been before the Chamberlain. THE STRIKE AMONGST THE STONE-CUTTERS-CORCORAN V. GIBSON. This was an action to recover £5 damages under the fol. lowing important circumstances. Mr. Best, instructed by Mr. Waghorn, of Mark-lane, appeared for the plaintiff. Mr. Best said that plaintiff was a wire and millstone manufacturer, of Mark-lane. The defendant was employed inAugust last upon two millstones, ard had received money upon them. It was agreed in the trade usually that every stone taken in hand should be completed before the job was left. Now defendant had thought proper to leave his work before finishing the stone, and it was the wish of Mr. Corco ran to show the men that they could not put their masters to all kinds of inconvenience and loss by their caprices. Plaintiff said he was obliged to employ two mcn in the place of defendant, and some time was lost. Plaintiff's foreman said that defendant left on the 27th August, and left two stones unfinished. Witness gave two men some beer and his master gave some money to finish the job. Through defendant's leaving much loss was sus tained. His Honour said plaintiff could only recover b. 4d. dam ages, that being the value of the beer supplied to the two men who finished the job. Plaintiff could bring another action against defendant for money had and received. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. -(THIS DA Y.) MANSION -HOUSE. Frederick Garret, a German, and Joseph Richardson cap manufacturer, 'Union-street, were placed at the bar, charged, Garrett with stealing, and Richardson with re ceiving a large quantity of cloth caps (100), from Mr. F. Poultard's premises, in whose employment he was as a porter, in April, May, July, and August last. The Lord Mayor said in consequence of what Richard son's solicitor had said to him Richardson would be dis charged. Joseph Richardson was thou placed in the witness-box as a witness, and proved the sale of the caps to him by Garrett, for which lie paid £9. The evidence taken on a former occasion was read over, and the Lord Mayor committed the prisoner Garrett for trial. MARLBO ROUGH -STREET. STREET MUSICIANS.--PRO AND CON.—Charles Richards, a street musician, was charged as follows : Mr. Henry Martin, keeper of an eating-house in Market street, Oxford-market, said that about a quarter to 11 on the previous night the defendant was standing in front of his house playing a violin, and a person standing by with a harp. He was requested to leave, and as he would not, a constable was rent for. He had complained of him before. 72 E said he was called to request the defendant, who had a violin in his hand, to go away. The defendant was not playing at the time. The landlord of the White Hart opposite Mr. Martin's, came out and told the defendant to play, and he did so, and asked him (the constable) why he interfered. He told the defendant not to play, and that he was wrong in doing so, and the defendant being given into his custody, he took him to the station-house. The defendant (who wore on his breast a Ghuznee medal), in a very excited and rather theatrical manner, said he played in the middle o f th e road, and, i n cases ofill ness, never struck a note. He thought it a hard case, having a large Emily to support, that he was not allowed to Play so that he might pay his way. lie never wished to annoy anyone. The landlord of the White Hart, Mr. Flowers, said it all arose from spite of his neighbours. He wanted to try the question whether the man could play as late as 11 o'clock, when there was no complaint of anyone being ill at the time. Mr. Beadon said, if inhabitants felt annoyed at his play ing at that time of night, and requested him to go away, he was bound to do so, and was liable to a fine if he did not. People were not to be annoyed at that time of night. Mr. Paterson, fishmonger, said the landlord encouraged the man to annoy his neighbours. Mr. Beadon said, as he refused to go when ordered by the constable, he should fine him 2s. Gd., and if he came again he should fine him 40s. THAMES. NOVEL APPLICATION.-Mr. Samuel Pearce, oil and eolourman, carrying on business at No. 11, Sparrow-corner, Minories, came before Mr. Selfe to make known the mis conduct of a foreigner named Edward Frost, a dealer aid importer of musical instruments, of No. 254, Whitechapel road, who had obtained money of the applicant's son under the following circumstances : Mr. Pearce said that a son of his, aged 12 years, had entered into an agreement with Frost to purchase a drum for 65., and paid 2s. Gd. deposit. The remainder of the purchase money was to be paid by instalments of 3d. per week, and the 2s. Gd. first paid and all the instalments already paid were to be forfeited in default of paying any one instalment. On ascertaining what his son had been doing, he waited upon Frost and informed him that his son had acted without his sanction and authority, and that he objected to his having a drum. At the same time he demanded the restoration of the money already paid. Frost not only refused to give back the money, but said " if your child is only 12 years 9f age I can make you pay for the drum." Mr. Selfe—Then he is quite mistaken ; a boy 12 years of age cannot enter into a contract without the consent of his parents. What do you wish me to do in the matter? Mr. Pearce—l want_ a summons to compel Frost to re fund the money. Such a system of trading was an encou ragement to children to rob their parents, or boys to plunder their employers. _ Mr. Selfe—l quito agree with you in that respect. No respectable tradesman would take money from children without the consent of their parents. It is not a transac tion which I can approve, and you have done quite right in making it public, but 1 cannot assist yo u . I can on l y re fer you to the aunty Conrt, which has jurisdiction over the matter. Mr. Pearce—l will certainly summon Frost to the County Court. The small sum which he has in his possession is no object to me; but as a matter of principle, and as a pro tection to other parents, I will pursue this case. Mr. Selfe—You are quite right in doing so. Mr. Pearce than thanked the magistrate for his advice, and retired. N.STV.MARICET I,'ACTS--(TRIS .04) (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) OATLANDS PLATE Wrestler.

An English traveller writing from Bruges on the Gth of the present month says : The cholera—which I encountered at Hamburg in July, and at Cologne last month—has travelled westward with steady steps, and is now raging in this fair old city. The Channel alone divides it from England, and the Thames would afford it a hearty reception should it cross the narrow sea. Owing to the unprecedented drought and heat of the summer months, the canals which traverse Bruges in every direction became stagnant. Their waters were covered with oozy slime, and the mud they so plentifully contain emitted the most fetid exhalations. The back streets and courts are filthy and foul, there being not a few, into which—on the authority of a local journal—" everything is thrown" to fester and to rot. Towards the begin ning of last month warnings were given of the pre sence of cholera, which has since progressed with alarming strides. The ordinary mortality of the town is two or three daily, but for some time past it has averaged from 20 to 30, and yesterday we learn on authority that it reached the unprecedented number of 40, or at the rate of 280 a week. The population of Bruges consists of 50,000 souls, so that having regard to the difference of numbers, this is equal to a mortality in London of 15,000 to 16,000 weekly. _ _ At the colliers of the Rues St. Georges and Poic tewyn stands a house on the spot where the plague was stayed two centuries back. The event is com memorated by a Flemish inscription, surmounted by an allegorical picture of the Saviour, the Virgin, and the Patron Saints of the town. Every morning hundreds of persons may be seen at this place pray ing for a cessation of the existing pestilence. The women in their failles, or black mantles, impart a sad air of mourning to the ceremony. The Chapelle du St. Sang, wherein are said to be deposited some drops of our Saviour's blood, brought by Count Thierry of Alsace from the Holy Land, is also much frequented for a similar purpose. " God helps those who help themselves," and there is no Palmerston here to tell the people that prayers, to be effectual, should be accompanied by ablutions, and that pen ante will be unavailing unless assisted by the la bours of the whitewasher and the nightman. The Town Council has oflered lime gratis to all who will apply for it, but very few have availed themselves of the privilege. The weather has become unsea sonably hot and oppressive, and the mortality has risen with the barometer. Meanwhile, those admirable women, the &eurs de Charite, unceasingly continue their holy labours. Regardless of all risk, and utterly unmindful of self, they distribute alms to the poor, succour the sick, and console the dying. The old Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem —al well known to English tourists for its glorious collection of Hemlings—is one of the principal scenes of their labours. But they are to be found everywhere among the poor, the sick, and the afflicted. The priests, also, are unremitting in the performance of their sacred duties. It is to be hoped the municipality will bestir itself, and (with or without the consent of the owners) cleanse the courts and back slums, which here as elsewhere, are the nests and breeding places of cholera, lever, and pestilence. CENTRAL ITALY. The want of funds on the part of the Governments of Central Italy is stated daily to become more severe, and it is doubtless upon a b:eakdown in this respect that the Emperors of France and Austria mainly calculate for the accomplishment of the re actionary stipulations of the treaty of Villafrancr. It is obvious that while the friends of the Liberal cause are boasting of their gathering strength from the influx of volunteers to the patriotic army, this very accession of new crowds requiring to be equip ped and fed must hasten the embarrassments which constitute their main peril. If, therefore, their pre sent position of wasting uncertainty can but be pro longed for a few months, or evert weeks, the resto ration of the old rulers " without foreign interven tion" seems almost certain to be secured, the 50,000 French troops in Lombardy being amply sufficient to prevent any aid to the national party being de rived from that quarter. For some weeks past agents from Tuscany are understood to have been in Paris and London endeavouring to raise one or two millions sterling, but they do not appear to have fallen into business-like hands, or to have had the capacity to place their proposals strongly before the public. If they have applied to any leading capitalists, their reception probably has been of a disheartening character. Yet, as the authority of the Provisional Government is admitted by the principal Powers to be legal, it would seem impos sible for such reasonable obligations as they might now undertake to be repudiated by any future ruler to whom, under European diplomacy, the Duchy may be permitted to fall.— Times' City Article.

The Postmaster-General has conferred a very great boon upon the public by authorising the exch tnge of postage stamps for money, and the following notice regulating the rate to be charged has been issued : EXCHANGE OF POSTAGE STAMPS FOR MONEY. " In order to discourage the transmission of coin by post, the Postmaster-General has authorised the officers of the chief office and of the district and branch offices to receive postage stamps from the public, if not soiled or otherwise damaged, at a charge of 3 per cent. ; the charge, however, never to bo less than one halfpenny. _ " Under this arrangement= 19s. 41-d. will be:given for stamps of the value of £1 0 0 ~ ~ 11 0 10 0 9 8 410 fl ff f f 0 5 0 2 5 It ~ ft 0 2 6 0 llf tf f f f f 0 1 0 0 5i , 0 0 6 "And so on the f t full value less ono halfpenny being given for any amount of stamps not exceeding is. 4d. "No separate stamps will be received. In all cases they must bo presented in strips, at least two stamps adhering to each other. " By order of the Postmaster-General. " ROWLAND HILL, Secretary." MISS MARTINEAU ON INFANT NATATION.—What prevents fathers teaching their own children in infancy? The earliest time is th e b es t f or l earn i ng an art which is never difficult. In most countries in the world--actually over the greater part of the inhabited globe—the chil dren swim as soon as they walk, if not earlier. In Egypt, and throughout all Mongolian countries, and among the indigenous races of America, and throughout negro lands of Africa, and in Polynesia, the human being is amphibious. There children of both sexes can spend the whole day in the water, and explore it at pleasure. Any Nile voyager who has passed the first cataract can tell how it is now among the Berber infants, and indeed along the whole course of :the Nile. English children would do the thing just as well if they were put in the way of it. Their mothers are the proper persons to put them in the way of it; and, as the mothers are at present unqualified, the fathers should undertake it. In another generation or two they would be saved the trouble, we may hope, by the mothers being then better qualified. Meanwhile, it will gratify, and perhaps surprise any parent to see how imme diately a little child takes to the art, which really seems like nature to it, if begun sufficiently early.—Once a Week. TANNAHILL AND THE ETTRICIC SHEPHERD. The following letter gives a description of a meet ing between Robert Tannahill, the sweet lyrist of Paisley, and James Hogg, the Ettrick Shepherd. The writer was one of the company present at the interview of the tw.) bards, and is now fourscore years of age. The letter is addressed to Mr. Porteous, of the Glasgow Post-office. Dear Sir,—The proverb says, " Auld folks are twice weans," so, like the schoolboy, I rule the paper to guide my feeble hand and obscure vision. The effusion of Tannahill's " The five frien's," originated in this :—A part of the Argyle militia band, under Clark, was ordered to attend the October gathering at Inverary Castle. Clark, on his return, stopt a few days at Paisley (his native place), hence frae the hall o' Argyle. I was ac cidentally in Paisley that day, and, calling at Tan nahill's house, was informed of the meeting. I found out the nest, and, like birds o' a feather, gre garious, I was fixed. It was a harmonious and social meeti ng . Some time after this I was in Paisley, and spent the evening with Tannahill alone (as was often the case) ; it was late, and so dark, that he would not allow me to take the road, but insisted on my taking a sha re o f hi s b e d ; I did so, and next morning, afte r b rea kf ast, and at part ing, he saw at a distance Smith a n d St uart coming in our direction with three s t ranger gentlemen. He said, " there is something in the wind," and wished me to stop and see. 'We kept out of their sight, but saw them enter a public-house near to his place. In a short time he was sent for. He desired me to wait, and he would let me know. He came for me, and, on entering the company, he introduced me direct to Hogg, the Ettrick Shepherd : being so sudden and unexpected, I was for a moment stunned. The other two gentlemen, having business in Glas gow, left Hogg, promising to have a ticket for him by the evening coach with them to Edinburgh. We then went down town, as Hogg wished to see Mr. Blaikie, the engraver, an old acquaintance, and a musical enthusiast, a good voice -reader, played several instruments, and succeeded It. A. Smith in conducting the music of the Abbey Church. The forces were now collected, and such a congenial meeting I iaever beheld. Hogg was enraptured with our company, and it was a treat to see the friendship of the two bards. The contrast of the two was striking—the one lively, healthy, and off hand; the other quiet, delicate, and unassuming. The only regret felt by all was the -limitation of time. We were conveyed on the road fill necessity urged a parting. S oon a ft er this Hogg spied an empty coal cart lolling on the road, and asked me if we might try to get it to drive us in. I agreed, and Hogg called o u t, " M y l a d, are you going in to Glasgow ?"—" Ay, man." " Will you gi'e us a smart drive in, and we'll pay you for't ?"—" 0 ay, man." In we went, and at the half-way house primed him w ith h a lf- a - mu t c hki n, and galloped to the key-stane of the Broomielaw Bridge, where we came off, Hogg saying it would not do to be seen galloping through the streets of Glasgow in a coal cart. We hurried on to the Tontine ; the coach had waited five minutes, and was just starting. When we . were obser ve d runn i ng i t stopt—we shook hands, and in an instant all disappeared in the hollow of the Gallowgate. Th ese gen tl emen had b een on a tour in the Highlands, and came round by Paisley purposely to see Robert Tannahill. In finishing this scrawl., I add to my infirmities an obstinate steel pen ; b u t if you can read it, you must just put up with it. A u em i nent authoress says that imperfections and blunders may be ex pected at fourscore.—Your friend, Govan, 1859. JAS. BARR. 'FATAL COLLIERY EXPLOSION NEAR LEEDS.— On Saturday an inquest was held, at ' Seacroft, near Leeds, on the body of Isaac Eastwood, a miner, who had been killed in the Manston Colliery, the property of Major Waud. Deceased was 35 years of age, and has for some time boon fire-pan minder at a portion of the pit where it was fiery and dangerous, and where, in conse quence, constant ven tilation bad to be kept free during both night and day. On Tuesday night, he went to the pit as usual, but when the miners went to work in the morning the fire was extin guished, and, not seeing Eastwood, they apprehended that some accident had occurred. They went in search of him, and after proceeding about 200 yards along the works they found the " stoppings" or " brattices" blown down,which told the tale that a gas explosion had occurred, and, after great difficulty, they found the body of the deceased, shock ingly burnt, and a piece of candle beside him, a clear proof that he had gone there with the candle lighted instead of his safety lamp, and thus incautiously caused the explosion which destroyed him. He had at the same time been carry ing his lamp, which lay at the place uninjured. The in quest was adjourned till Wednesday, to enable the Govern ment inspector, Mr. Morton, to make what inquiries he might think necessary. OUTRAGE DIABOLICAL AT A MASTER CHAIN MAKER' s.—On the night of Wednesday last some miscreant threw a bottle filled with gunpowder, or other explosive matter, into one of the bed-room windows of the house of Mr. James Phillips, master chain-manufacture r , Cradley heath. The instant tha foll upon the floor it burst with a loud noise, and the force of the explosion smashed the glass in the windows, damaged some articles in the room, and injured the floor. Fortunately . there was no person in the room at the moment. It is strongly sus spected that the act has been done by some chain-maker belonging to the body now on strike, because Mr. Phillips has thought proper to sell a quantity of chains to the former employers of some of the men out for wages.—Bir minghant Post. THE LATE CRIMINAL CHARGES AGAINST A SUR GEON AT SMETIIIVICK.-Our readers will recollect that some five weeks since charges of a very extraordinary and improbable character were preferred against Mr. C. A. Chavasse, of Smethwick, surgeon, by a former servant of his, Harriet Gill, which appeared upon examination to be utterly groundless, as, indeed, the magistrates them selves stated upon Mr. Chavasse's voluntary appearance before them to meet the charges ; but there was reason to doubt whether the charges made were more swing to malice or insanity on the part of the girl. The latter now appears beyond all doubt to be the true solution of the question. Gill, being destitute, was thrown upon the workhouse at King's Norton, last week, and the medical authorities there at once perceiving her unhappy condition, she was removed to Stafford Asylum on Wednesday last.—Birmingham Journal. DEER -STALKING EXTRAORDINARY.—In Central America, that is, the isthmus which connects North and South America, somewhere on the borders of Nicaragua, and some miles from Leon, its capital, they have a custom of sending the ox a deer-stalking, and they actually force the bruto to undergo a preliminary education to make him up to his work. He is tied to a tree by the horns; and is frequently beaten on the head near the roots of his horns, till the latter are loosened, and, of course, rendered extremely sensitive. A cord is then fastened to each " tip," and he is then guided as easily as a well bridled and well broken horse. After some time the horns get well, not, however, until he has acquired the habit of being guided by them. When this system of " ox-break ing" has been sufficiently tested, and when the animal is well "in hand," he is brought out "to stalk ;" and, what is strangest of all, in a very short time he pursues the sport with all the keenness and gusto of the most expert and in veterate stalkers.—Once a Week. SKELETON STRATA. The skeletons in our crowded London graveyards lie in layers which are quite historical in their significance, and which would be often startling if the circumstances of their juxta-position could be made known. A cutting from an old newspaper (title and date uncertain), .and which exists in the well-known repertory of Mr. Green of Covent-garden, contains an ex ample of skeleton contact which is unusually curious if re liable. It is there stated that Dr. Sacheverell is buried in St. Andrew's, Holborn, and that the notorious M o th er Needham of Hogarth is lying above him, and above her again is interred Booth the actor—a strange stratification of famous or notorious clay.—Once a IV eee. Miss MARTINEAU ON SWIMMING FOR LADIES.— Wherever there are good and spacious baths for women there seem to be some women who can swim. At Liver pool, where the baths are admirable, there are several ladies who are perfectly at home in the water. If each of thbse ladies would instruct some promising girl or girls from the schools in their art, in order to make it their occupation, no doubt the next generation of Women in Liverpool would be swimmers in much greater proportion than the present. Let other towns and any country neigh bourhood where there is good water, provide baths of suffi cient size—either by mooring bathing-houses in the streams, or by making shallow docks on shore, and teachers will pre sently offer. If not, it would be no great expense for the combined parentage of a neighbourhood to bring over a swimming mistress from France. There are probably seve ral at the bathing places along the coast ; and there are cer tainly plenty at Paris, if one may judge by the accomplish ment of Frenchwomen in the art.—Once a-Ilicek. REVIVALISM IN AMERICA.—The rain of righte• ousness, as Mr. Turnbull informs us, descended so copi ously upon New Jersey and Connecticut, that the excellent Edwards became alarmed. The preachers were loud and passionate ; some of them even clapped their hatids—swan g themselves to and fro in the pulpit—gesticulated and bawled, and shed floods of tears. The Rev. J. Davenport, of Long Island, was a remarkable instance of success. "He came out of his pulpit and stripped off his upper gar ment, and got into the seats, and leaped up and down some time, and clapped his hands, and cried out in these words : The n —p tiwarnhge Devil goesanc goesoe on e a — md tiohnw dowfightn most oasn td goes vtho le violently." t n l yl betookt il Women Devil u s stamping himselfgoes an oe t d o s children then preached and testified —silence being reckoned a sign of sin, an d c l amour an evident token of conversion. " Little children of five, six, seven, and eight years old, talked powerfully and experimentally of the things of God." Ever since 1730 these movements have recurred and been expected with more or less, regularity. Sensible persons regard them as a "religious flurry," or a mere tornado of talk. Not long ago "praying bands" and "flying artillery of Heaven" patrolled the streets of New York. There were " business prayer-meetings," " boys' prayer-meetings," "people's prayer-meetings." But New York after the re vival, intelligent Americans say, looked very much like New York before that event. In the city, however, a re vival is comparatively " cabinned, cribbed, confmed." It is only down South or down West the " raal grit" is to be obtained.—Once a Week. THE MASTER OF ST. PANCRAS WORKHOUSE.- Yesterday, at a meeting of the directors of the poor of St. Pancras, Mr. Churchwarden Cameron moved a resolution to rescind the recent vote of censure on the master of the workhouse with respect to the alleged ill-usage of an inmate named Kate C'Sullivan. Mr. Cameron said it was felt on all hands that that the loss of the present master's services world be a calamity to the parish ; and as the master was willing to retrace his steps, and withdraw his resignation, if he could feel that he had the confidence of the board, he considered, as the late vote of censure was only carried by a majority of 7 to 5, and 12 being only present in a board of 43 members, it would only be a graceful act on the part of the board to remove the vote of censure from their minutes. The motion, after some discussion, vats carried by a majority of 10 to 8. a 1 all 100 100 100 all all all 100 all all all 13 39 93} 81 I I 74 72j3 131 8 1 1 - .' T /~ MYSTERIOUS DEATif. An inquest was held at DOdridge's Richmond Walk Inn, Devonport, on Friday, before A. B. Bone, Esq., on the body of a young man named James Wright, which had been found floating in Stonehouse Creek, on Thursday morning. The first witness called was, George llc.nry Tickell, a lad residing in Stone house, who deposed to having found the body of deceased floating in Stonehouse Creek, at about eight o'clock on Thursday morning. He dragged it on the mud by the waistcoat. He then left it to get a policeman, and on his return found that the body had been lilted upon the timbers close by. Several persons were then gatheted around, and within a quarter of an hour police constable Davey (who had received information of the discovery from Hicks, a Stonehouse policeman) came down. A rope was put round the corpse, and it was then towed to the Richmond Walk Inn. John Davey, police-constable, stated that having received some information on the previous morning, he went to the Parsonage-field, and at the bottom of the field he saw the body of a man lying on some timbers, which were resting on the mud some dis tance above the bridge. The body was clothed in a pair of black cloth trousers, short Wellington boots, a dark waistcoat, and a white shirt and stockings. On searching the pockets he found two halfpence, a small iron cramp, a brace buckle, some pieces of paper, and a comb. He also pro duced a cloth cap which had been given to him by a boy named Roberts. Joseph Wright, brother of the deceased, said that he was a; straw-hat maker, residing at 34, King-street, Ply mou th. H a d looked carefully at the body found by Tickell, and knew it to be the body of his late brother James 'Wright, who had been his assistant, and had lived with him. De ceased was a little more than 24 years of age. The last time he saw him alive was on the previous Friday night. They were in a public-house in Fore-street, Stonehouse, where they drank. He could not tell what happened in the house, not being sober at the time he entered it. Did not think his brother was sober either, and did not recollect going into the house. Some one, whom he could not say, hurt his arm whilst there, and that was all he could recollect of what took place in the house. When he got out of the house some marines knocked him down.- He re membered seeing his brother by the sidV of him then. The man who knocked him down was coming to him again ; witness ran away from him, and fell down very heavily. He got up again and went on somewhere, and found himself in the water. How he got into the water or how he got out he could not tell. The next thing he remembered was being at home in bed. Samuel Roberts, a lad residing in High-street, Stonehouse, deposed that on the night of the 30th ult., at about half-past 10, he and his brother were coming down Fore-street, Stonehouse, and heard an awful scuffle with some men in a public•house —Mr. Lacey's house, the General Havelock. He stopped and saw a man outside the door —a tall marine was standing opposite to him. All at once out ran another man with bis coat under his left arm ; end the tall marine ran after him. He saw them run to Stonehouse Bridge, the marine punch ing the man most shamefully. They went down by the bridge to the water, the marine beating the other on. - Witness stood by the bridge, being afraid to go down. There was no light in the pas sage to the water, and be did not see what hap• pened there ; nor the water. Deceased's brother then came down, and stood by Stonehouse Bridge gate. The marine came up from the passage by himself, and said to Wright, in a rough tone, " Who are your! 'Wright replied, "'Who are you ?" The marine then set upon him right and left, and punched him down the passage also. Witness followed a little way, and found a cap like that produced by Davey, to whom he had delivered it. (Joseph Wright was then called, and identified the cap as his property.) A little m ar i ne th en came down, and said, " Where's my chum ?" Wit ness replied, " He's down there, knocking the men in the water." The marine answered, "I musn't see that," and went down the passage also. 'Witness then saw Mr. Bridgman, landlord of the Bridge Inn, come out of his house with a lantern, with which he went down the passage_; some other men also went down. Almost directly they all rushed up again. The tall marine came up, and the little ma rine also came up with deceased's brother, who was wet, and whom the little marine would now allow anyone to touch. The man who was first driven down the passage did not come up again. The tall marine had no jacket or belt on, and neither of them had their side arms. Thomas Lemon, private, R.X, recollected being in a public-house in Fore-street, Stonehouse, on the night of Friday last. It was getting well on in . the night. There were some civilians in the housealso, and one other marine. One of the civilians was about to strike a woman who was there ; and he said, "Don't hit a woman; if you want to fight, why don't you fight a man ?" Witness pulled the civilian away, and he went into a back place. An other man, whom he believed to be Joseph Wright, then came in, and said, " Who struck my brother ?" They were in about the same condition as he him self—" pretty fresh." Lemon replied, "No one struck y our brother, b u t I'll str i ke you, if you don't stash it. " Then they both rushed out of the house, leaving their ale on the table. Witness did not fol low them, but drank two glasses of ale in the house afterwards. That was all he knew about it. Thomas Crossing deposed that he had examined the body of deceased on the previous day, at about five o'clock in the afternoon. He found the corpse in a very frightful condition, with all the appear ance of having been immersed in the water for several days. Both the eyes were entirely destroyed, probably by fish taking the integuments from the orbits, and in a circular form round the cheek bones, and exposing the temple bone. The lips were eaten away, the mouth closed, with the tongue pressing through the teeth; both ears were partly eaten away. A wound was visible on the right side of the lower jaw about an inch and a half in length ; and another over the windpipe, obliquely passing from it. These wounds differed in appearance in some measure from the other marks before mentioned; but from the very decomposed state of the body, witness was not prepared to say they were not made in a similar way to the others. The edges were smooth, and could be brought together more like incised wounds. Would not say that these two wounds were not caused by a sharp instrument. The integuments about the wounds were so saturated and decom posed as to render it impossible to say how they were caused ; blood was issuing from the wound in the neck. The blood in drowned bodies was usually in a fluid state. 'Witness felt satisfied that no ad ditional evidence could be obtained by a post-mortem examination ; decomposition being so advanced that any internal appearances might be attributed thereto. George Stoneman was standing at the door of the General Havelock, smoking his pipe, when he saw two civilians run out at the door, and a marine, called Gloucester, after them. They all three ran down the street, and he saw the marine kick them. They ran out of witness's sight towards the bridge. Wright was one of the civilians. Francis Willeocks, lessee of the Stonehouse Bridge, said that on the night in question, shortly after 10, he heard a disturbance, and saw four or five men running in their shirt-sleeves. They rau down a passage on the north side of the bridge. He went to look over the bridge. He went to look over the bridge wall, and heard a voice in the passage say, " I'll knock the into the water." In a few minutes the men with the blue striped shirts came up the passage with Joseph Wright, who begged that they would not hit him. The men then took Wright to the Prince George Hotel. William Bridgeman, landlord of the Bridge Inn, was called, but could depose to nothing further than seeing some marines in the passage. Could not identify either of them. He saw only two marines come up. Some might have come up before. One of the marines led up a man in dark clothes. The passage slipped down very much to the water, and a sober man running down fast in the dark would be likely to fall. The proceedings were adjourned. THIS DAYS MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. The supply of English wheat on sale in to-day's market was very limited. For all kinds the demand ruled steady, at fully Monday's improvement in the quotations. The general quality of the samples was inferior. Although we were well supplied with foreign wheat, th• inquiry was tolerably firm. In prices, however, no change took place. Floating cargoes of grain were in request, and quite as dear as on Monday. Grinding and malting barley sold readily, at extreme rates. Distilling sorts were a slow sale. Most kinds of malt sold on former terms; but the demand was much restricted. We had a dull inquiry for oats, and inferior parcels were rather cheaper. Beans and peas were dull ; but flour was firm in price. ARRWALS THIS WEEK Wheat. Barley Malt.
