THE TRANSMUNDANE TELEGRAPH.—Major P. `Donald Collins, to whose report on the Moscow and San rancisco Telegraph we recently called attention, goes out by the Persia to-day on his return to the Amoor river. On r eaching St. Petersbug it is his intention to lay the details ;If the project before the Emperor Alexander, and to solicit his aid in carrying out the enterprise. There is but little doubt that the Russian Government will lend its cordial i ''meurrence to the scheme. Of the practicability of the line, as far as the Sea of Ochotsk, it has the best evidence ill its own post routes, and it cannot but take a deep inte rest in a project which will complete its chain of telegraphic teramumcation to its newly opened territory on the Almon " L ePs have already been taken to obtain the countenance and support of the Japanese Emperor to that portion of the Which connects his dominions with the main line, and it is hoped that when China is thrown open to the trade of the World, as it eventually must be, there will be no difficulty in obtaining the consent of the Imperial government to the co nstruction of another lateral branch connecting with nekin. Two millions and a half is, after all , bu t an insig acant amount for the construction of a work of such vast IMportance, and Major Collins is not a man to bo deterred .

SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Kerr.) WHAT IS AI AGT.NT ?-13ENJAMIN V. COD.WOOD. This case had been adjourned in consequence of the re fusal of his Honour to allow Mr. Sampson to conduct the cause as cogent for the plaintiff. THIS DAY'S MA I.V.XETS. Mr. Buchanan now appeared for the plaintiff, and called Mr. Sampson, who proved asking defendant for the amount, and obtaining a promise to pay. COVENT-GARDN. His Honour made an order. Mr. Buchanan then applied for the costs of his witness. His Honour refused, as Sampson had been acting as plaintiff's agent, when he had no right to do so. Mr. Sampson—l am only a witness now, and your Honour said you would hear me as a witness. His Honour—Yes, but you get your commission on this debt, and I don't think ought to get costs in addition. He did not wish to injure Mr. Sampson, who should not com plain. The supplies of fruit are limited.; of vegetables season ably good. Generally speaking, the trade rules steady, as follows Mr. Sampson—l don't complain, though your Honour does injure me. Every other court hears me, and gives me costs. His Honour—l will read the statute to you, and you will there see what is an agent. Mr. Sampson—Thank you ; I always learn something when I come here. (Roars of laughter.) After the statute was read, Mr. Buchanan advised the witness not to press for his costs. Mr. Snmpson—l do not want the costs ; but his Honour has always something to say. If I como one way, he has an objection ; if I come another, he has an objection ; but I must come, so there's an end of it. kLaughter.) WHITECHAPEL COUNTY COURT. LEGALITY OP FOREIGN LOT rmuEs.—SASSIENI.V. LEIR. This was an action to recover £4 18s. 6d. upon defen dants I 0 U. Defendant admitted that ho gave the I 0 U. The fact was the document in questi)n was given for some lottery tickets, which defendant had been unable to sell Defendant, with considerable acumen, urged that lotteries were not legal in England, and that therefore the transac tion was an improper one, and that plaintiff could not re cover. Mr. Beard, for the plaintiff, said it was true °nova that lotteries were prohibited in England, but the tickets in question related to a lottery at Frankfort, and, as in that country such things were legal, plaintiff was entitled to re cover. Besides plaintiff had.an I 0 U duly signed. _ _ _ His Honour would not say whether foreign lotteries were or were not legal in this country. As to to the I 0 U, if defendant gave it he must pay. An immediate order was granted, as it was stated defen dant intended going abroad. An immense trade is carried on in this country with foreign lottery tickets. SHOREDITCH COUNTY COURT. TIIB LAW OF MASTER AND SERVANT-GIBBONS V. BOWLES. This was an action to recover wages in lieu of notint, defendant having been under a signed agreement to employ plaintiff for three years. The agreement had been lost, and secondary evidence was given of it. According to plaintirs testimony he had duly presented himself for work at his master's shop and had been refused. For the defence, Mr. Beard called defendant and a wit ness who said plaintiff was a lazy servant, who imagined that he could do just as he liked in consequence of three years' agreement. He absented himself very often, and so far from being refused work rarely gave defendant any opportunity of declining to employ him, - His Honour said —lt was va7 dreadful that masters and servants were continually disagreeing in the present day. Plaintiff had failed to make out his case, and defendant would have a verdict with costs. POLICE IN2'.ELLIGENCE.-(2 1 1113 D4Y .) MANSION-HOUSE. CHARGE or STABBING.—John William Gulivar, a lad about fifteen years of age, was placed at the bar, charged with stabbing a young boy of the name of Charles Harvey Day (now in the hospital) in the side with a knife, in the employment of Messrs. Hornan and Co., shoemakers, Worm wood-street, yesterday evening about seven o'clock. It appeared from the evidence of two boys of tho name of Henry Davis and James Harkisson, that the prisoner and Day were larking together and blacking the prisoner's face. Theprisoner struck at hint in the side with a sharp-pointed. shoemaker's knife, and ho was taken to the hospital. • Police-constable 624 - said that at presont the surrion could not grant a certificate of immediate danger of life. The Lord Mayor remanded tho prisoner for a fortnight, and he was liberated in the meantime on finding two sure• ties in £5 each. MARLBOROITGII-STREET. Tin It CAPTAIN" AND TILE WAITER.--A SCENE AT AN OYSTER-Eooll.—Mr. Megan, whose nadross is said to be Gloucester-street, Belgravo-road, awl was called "Cap tain," and was said to have been' in the army, and who had on his arm a scarlet cloak and dangling in his hand a Imodsoute pair or bola - bracelets and a fancy basket, and conducted himself with great eccentricity, • was charged with assaulting Alfred Macer, waiter at Scott's Oyster rooms, Coventry-street, by striking him with a silver knobbed stick loaded with load, and also by drawing a razor across his throat. The complainant said that on the previous night, about 12 o'clook, the place was full of customers; the defendant came in and caused a great obstruction to the business by standing in the way and flourishing hic.stick. He requested him to move, when he became very excited and pulled out a razor, and drew it across his throat, and afterwards gave him his stick across his back, and again attempted to strike him, but the blows came against the walls, leaving the in dentations behind. Cross-examined by Mr. Delamere, for tho defendant — Didn't hurt me much—it might have been worse. If it had been the other side of the razor perhaps I should not have been hero. (Laughter.) 1 don't believe I've any marks on my back, but haven't looked. (Laughter.) The defendant had ordered refreshment. There was a knob on the stick, the impression of which is in the wall. When a person is " obstiopolous" I don't take the orders, as in duty bound. The defendant didn't take out the razor to shave me. (Laughter.) The witness went on to say that he was greatly astonished and the "natives" too. Mr. Delamere, on behalf of the defendant, _said the cap tain went to Mr. Scott's and ordered some refreshment, but the order not being very promptly executed, he became excited, and, whatever might be said of him, ho was the last person to hurt anybody. He' would admit taking out the razor, but it was by way of freak ; and altogether his conduct was that of a native of the Green Isle when in a state of excitement, and not that of a person who wished to injure anyone. He felt sure Mr. Scott had no vindictive feeling in the matter, and •nly wished his servants pro tected, which they had a right to be. He hoped his wor ship would consider that, if the defendant paid the costs, the complaining person would be satisfied at the result. The waiter said all ho wanted was protection. Mr. Bingham said ho was assured a more harmless man did not exist. He thought if the defendant had any friends present, they had better take care of him. Be was not to be permitted to go about presenting razors at people, and with a stick loaded with lead. He should order him - to pay the sum of £5 for the assault, and to find two sureties in the sum of £5O each to keep the peace for twelve months. The defendant shortly after found the required bail, and left the court, his conduct being of a most eccentric charac ter throughout. FRUIT 8. d. s. d.

A letter from the Hague, of the 10th, says : " The Count de Flandre went. yesterday from Amsterdam to Soestdyk, to pay a visit to the Queen Mother. The recep tion given to him was most cordial, and the most delicate attentions were lavished on the young prince. The royal palace at Amsterdam has been placed at his disposal by order of the King. During the day the prince visited the different museums and the naval arsenal. In the evening ho returned to Amsterdam,. and the next morning returned to the Hague by special tram." FATAL ACClDENT.—Yesterday morning Mr. Bed ford, the coroner for Westminster, held an inquest at King's College Hospital, on the body of Daniel Hodges, aged GO, a painter. It appeared from the evidence that the deceased was following his occupation in Simmons-inn, Holborn, when ho fell from a flight of steps. Ho was picked up in a state of insensibility, and conveyed to the hospital, where Mr. Atcherly, the house surgeon, was instantly in attend ance, and found a severe fracture at the back of the head and other injuries, from which the poor fellow never rallied. The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental Death." THE VICTORIA BRIDGE, MONTREAL.—The works of the Victoria-bridgo are now in such a stade of forward ness that the bridge, it is anticipated, will be ready for traffic by the end of November. The last pier of the 24 was completed on Saturday. Its foundations having been laid only six weeks ago, it will be seen that it has been con structed with great rapidity, for which credit ig due to Mr. Bosaut, who has built about half the total number of piers, including this one. All that now remains to be done is to complete the laying of the tubing, for which the necessary staging is now being erected between the tubes not yet con nected. As a matter of curiosity, it may be worth repeat • ing that the tube connecting the two central piers contains upwards of 700 tons weight of iron. The weight of ironin the portion of tube between the two central piers is about 350 tons. The distance between the two central piers, affording a channel for the passage of vessels, is 300 feet. and the height of the tube above the water 60 feet. It is estimated that the cost of each pier is about £40,000: We have said that the bridge will be completed, if no unexpected obstacle should arise, by about the end of November. The grand inaugurn ion of this stupendous enterprise will not, however, take place till next year ; but we understand that immediately on its completion, about two months hence, the bridge will be opened for regular traffic.—Montreal Gazette. A Turin letter of the 14th, in the Presse, sa3 s that the idea of an occupation of Parma by Piedmontese troops, which was for a moment entertained, has been aban doned, it being considered unnecessary, now that order is completely re-established by Gen. Farini, to have recourse to a measure which would be to a certain extent odious, and because it is hoped that the regency of Prince Cari gnan will shortly be est a bli s h e d, in which case the Piedmontese army will occupy Central Italy as a matter of course. This letter affirms in the most positive manner that the regency will extend to the R9magnas. A French gunboat, recently built on the shcres of the Mediterranean, is at this moment trying to make its way to the Languedoc Canal and the river Garonne to the Atlantic. It arrived safely at Toulouse the day befora yeiterday, and is going on to Bordeaux and Rochefort. The experiment is considered by the French Government as highly important, for its success will prove that war vessels of small druight may proceed from one sea to anotb cc witl out passing under the guns of Gibraltar. It is more than probable that the water communication between Cetto and Bordeaux will be deepened, so as to allow ships of consi derable tonnage to be moved by inland navigation. THAMES. DESERTION FROM THE MERCHANT SERVICE..--HORTy de Craso, a seaman, belonging to the schooner Wave of Guernsey, was brought befote Mr. Yardley on a charge of deserting from his vessel before the expiration of the term for which he was engaged under the articles of agreement. It appeared that the prisoner had belonged to the vessel two months, and had been treated kindly by Capt. Williams, the master. On Thursday last the prisoner was asked to do some work while having his dinner. Ho took offence at this, said he bad a rizht to his dinner hour, and packed up all his clothes and went on shore with them. The captain went in search of the prisoner and found him yesterday night in Ratcliff Highway, and asked him to return to the ship. The prisoner refused to do so and was given into custody. The captain offered to release the prisoner at the station-house if he would return to the ship, and he distinctly refused to do so. Mr. Yardley asked if the ship was now in this port, to which the captain answered in the affirmative. The schooner was lying at Erith, and had been detained through the prisoners desertion. Mr. Yardley asked the prisoner if ho Would return to his duty, and he said he would not, and that ho had a right to his dinner hour. Mr. Yardley said he must make an example of the pri soner, and sentenced him to ono months' imprisonment and hard labour. ST. GEORGE'S-IN-THE-EAST. —The Rector of St. George's-in-the-East having closed the parish church and confined all the means of public worship to two little pri vate semi-popish chapels, ac cessible only by means of tickets, appears to have settled down in a contented frame of mind. The Bishop of the Diocese had no sooner inti- 1 mated his readiness to become the arbitrator between the Rector and his parishioners, than the latter submitted their whole case to his decision, and the Rector's letter of September 17 has been hitherto taken to signify a general and unqualified acceptance of his lordship's arbitration. It now appears, however, that Mr. King will only accept the decision of his Bishop on two points, the vestments to be worn by tho officiating clbrgy• in church, and the time at which the lecturer's service in St. George's shall take place. The Rector knows that this limitation will leave many irritating questions open bet Ween him and his parishioners; ho knows that the inhabit an t s are anxious to The l as u been exisniffere T n h c es hasw p o rts him made. i Yetn .the have•tlle fine old parish church—th e i r c h urc h , not his— open lie position s r i s t i i s o t n s again, and that thi s cannot be until so me a dj us t men t •f the e ti thoughtg d of.

AU.RORA BOREALIS. A correspondent at. Solva te , Pembrokeshire, says': —We had a most extraordinary appearance in the sky last Wednesday evening- which has quite frightened tb,' e superstitious here. We had had a fine day ex:zept two short showers in the afternoon, the wine, had been south-east till this evening, when '..t changed to south; the moon rose in nearly a duddi ess sky; there were scattered rain clouds in the, eastern horizon, and rather a dense bank in the western horizon ; a few very light filmy rain clouds :vere moving rapidly from south-east to north-east. At 6.30 there was a slight shower, after which the sky was almost cloudless, the only kind of clouds being a very few thin rain clouds at a low elevation. The moon was unusually bright. At 7.20 a brilliant red light appeared to the south by east, about half-way between the zenith and the horizon, it looked very much like the red smoke from a pce.:t fire, and faded away all round from a focus of Light in the centre (it s s h a p e was o bl ong) ; in about 15 minutes it rose to the zenith, and as it rose the red shot out from it in long streaks on alt , sides, ex cep t to the north-east, but particularly oils; oroad mass that stretched right away to the western horizon, of a beautiful rose colour all- the 'way ; some clouds near the horizon in its trael were coloured purple by it. This may have been either by seeing it through them, or by its bein g beneath. them. The centre of the meteor was ne• ye dark crim son, blood red, darker than the clear sir ! , bu t the stars shone brightly through it. The reddest rays were those to west and soutli (those to Use south gra d ua ll y faded to pale green; those to +; h e north-west and ; and a few, after north were in more marked and finer li nes , an d only red near the centre appear ing for a short distance Mat z green, shot out to the north-east, growing wirlel- apart as they approached the moon, and passed it, clearly showing that the dark spaces betweer, the rays could net be shadows caused by the mr,on. Only one ray to the north east was red 1 they were all fainter as they ap proached ttse moon, and much fewer in number , than on the western side of the heavens. It lasted , till 8.15 ; all the red colour gradually faded away, and only left the focus from which it had sprung i still in the zenith ; it became pile green, and then disappeared. The last rays to fade were those to the north-east. No rain fell during-the time it lasted. The air was calm. A gciod deal of ground sea ee;ming into the bay from the westward.

In the same periods there were consumed in England 70,479,207 gallons and 78,597,128 gallons respectively. EXTRAORDINARY DISCOVERY OF SNAKES.—At Bourton-on-the-Water, a few days since, in the absence of Mr. and Mrs. Powell and family, of Cold Aston, who had left home to enjoy the sea breezes, the labourers employed on the farm, while removing a heap of manure, were astonished to find a large quantity of snakes in it. They succeeded in killing no less than 70. It is supposed that the mildness of the season and the heat of the mamn • caused so many to generate in so short a time, the heap not being of more than six mouths' collection, INFANTILE MORTALITY AND 6T114 BORN CHILDREN. Yesterday, at the Maryl.clione Board of Guar dians, Mr. C. Beevor in the chair, Dr.Bachhoffner, i 1 movinp.., the appointment of a committee, of which he had previously given notice, to inquire into the present state of infantile mortality, and the births of illegitimate stillborn children in the metropolis, ;asked the assistant-overseer if be could make a return of the cost of the parish ofilleoitimate children during the past ten years ? The assistant-overseer replied that he could not, as there was no record kept of such particular ex penditure. The charge, when it could be made, for a woman's maintenance during her confinement in the workhouse for a perio of four weeks, was 10s., and 7s. 6d. for the midwife. Dr. Bachhoffner observed that it was a startling fact that, in the year 1857, according to the Registrar-General's re turn, 1 in every 15 children born were illegitimate, and in that the number was lin every 9. (Sensa tion.) lie had received from the assistant overseer a return of the illegimate children born in that caarvlebone) workhouse during the last five years, which amounted to 821, and he wished now to ob tain some idea of the cost incurred. Dr. RANDALL, senior parochial surgeon, in reply to Dr. Bachhoffner, saio that he was unable to speat as to the cost, but it would be interesting for the board to know, with respect to the question at issue, that 212 women had been confixed in the lying-in ward of the workhouse during the year 1858, and out of this number there were sixtec n still-born children, making an average of 7.5 per cent. on the whole. Six of these still-born infants were the offspring of married wo men, making an average of this class of 2.8 per cent., and 10 were the infants of single women, making thereby an average of 4.7 per cent. Dr. BACIIHOFFNER said that the return would prove very useful to the committee in their re searches, and he trusted that much good would eventually arise -to the country by the investiga tion that was going to take place. The following gentlemen weio then appointed to form the committee, viz., Sir J. Anson, Mr. Poland, Mr. Potter, Mr. Taverner, Mr. Little, Dr. Bach hoffner, and Mr. C. Bcevor ; and the board, after the disposal of some ordinary routine business, ad journed. THE LATE CONSPIRACY IN TURKIir A letter from Constantinople, dated Oct. 5, says: —" The commission instituted for the purpose of Inquiring into thr. facts connected with the con spiracy, and for the examination of the accused, has not yet published its report. Neither is the fate of the prisoners known. Any information the Go Government may be disposed to aff o rd the public will, if accurate, add but little to what is already known. Ministers h ave man if es t e d, unw i se ly I think, an inclination to indueo the belief that they regard the affair as of little moment, and one which had no extended ramifications. That the plot was ill-conceived, and still more badly conducted, is abundantly clear ; on the other hand, it is not to he denied that the circumstances connected with it have a certain significance. It is idle for the Go vernment journal to speak of the affair as one in which a few Kurds and Cireassians were alone en: gaged, and from which no danger was really in curred. An examination of the list, which the Government has itself published, of the principal conspirators will at once show that the attempt was confined to no one particular body of men. T he priesthood, if such the corps of the Ulemas may be termed, and the army, are alike fairly represented in that list, at the head of which figurers the name of the best native officer in the Sultan's service. Hussein Pasha, the military Governer of Janina, arrived here in custody towards the end of last week. He has been several times subjected to exa mination, and it is said no doubt of his complicity can be entertained. He first came into notice during the late war with Russia, in the early part of which he was a colonel in the army of Arbistan. He it was who, in command of eight battalions of infan try, covered the flight towards Kars of the Turkish army, after the battle of Indj-dere. During that flight, for which the efforts of Hussein alone pro cured the more dignified name of a retreat, he was as conspicuous in the rear as the Commander-in- Chief (Zariff Mustafa Pasha) is said to have been in advance of the broken and utterly disorganised troops. For this distinguished service Hussein Bey was shortly afterwards made, brigadier-general. During the siege of Kars his honesty, no less than his courage, placed him in strong contrast with most of the other superior officers of the Turkish army. He tv is there taken prisoner by the Russians, and returned to Constantinople at the eud of the war. In the disastrous campaign in Montenegro, Hussein Pasha commanded the Turkish troops, but his repu tation appears to have suffered little from defeat. The misfortunes which there befell the army under his command are with justice attributed to the Com missioners sent by the Porte. These two function aries, in whom, of course, their Government reposed a degree of confidence proportionate to their inca pacityand ignorance, were invested with supreme authority. The opinions and remonstrances of the General were alike disregarded, and the conse quences were such as might have been expected to ensue. Whatever his guilt, the public will hear of any very severe visitation of Hussein Paella's of fence with regret; for all, Christians and Mussul mans alike, know him to be a brave and honest man; they know, too, that of all the abuses with which the Turkish Government is chargeable, there is not one so crying as the administration of the army; and that to this fact alone his offence is to be attributed. The representatives of the Great Powers do not seem to view the conspiracy with the indifference which Turkish Ministers would fain assume. De termined on taking advantage of the occasion to express the -wishes of their several Governments with respect to the carrying out of long promised reforms, those representatives met and agreed on a memorandum to bo presented to the Sultan. On further reflection, however, I believe it was con sidered that there were objcetions to this course, and it was ultimately decided to make a joint re presentation to the Grand Vizier, This document has, I am informed, been delivered to his highness, accompanied by a message from each of the am bassadors and Ministers who signed it. The main object to which it addresses itself is a radical re form of the system of finance, which, in its present state, goes far to render every other improvement useless. The importance of this step will be the best appreciated by those who have had opportu nities of observing the manner in which it has been the custom of Turkish Ministers to play off one ambassador against another.. Formerly, the fact of the French ambassador having made a requisition was in itself sufficient to induce the English am bassador to exert his utmost influence to get it refused ;or vice versa. This, too, the result of no difference of national interests, but of ample personal jealousy. The Turks are certainly clever in th , it generation. They ever looked with dis favour on reform, and were content to loiter on the path, while two of its most renowed champions were contending for the honour of having driven them to the goal. Now, however, things are altered. Until some of those who agreed to the memorandum in question act in bad faith towards the of hers, it cannot fail to produce a bene ficial effect. Now, at least, we shall see whether it has really been, as the Turks allege, foreign diplo macy that has stood in the way of reform ; or whellier the interference of the Legations has been Kierely an excuse in the mouth of the Government. Affairs in Serv:a wear a very threatening aspect. The Skouptschina appears to ben mere instrument in the hands of Prince Milesch : who becomes from day to day more tyrannical. It is said that all the exist ing constitutional guarantees against the exercise of despotic power have been formally annulled by that Assembly. Virtually they have been of no avail for sonic time past. Unless a revolution occurs at once it will behove the Porte to interfere. What course the Turkish Government is likely to take I cannot ascertain. I think Ministers have themselves not yet decided on their line:of action. New difficulties are already arising in Monte negro. Notwithstanding the fact of the F r ontier Commission having actually recommenced its opera tion, a Turkish guard has been attacked, and seve ral soldiers were killed by the mountaineers. STATUE TO GENERAL NEILL.—The inauguration of the statue in honour of the late Brigadier Neill. took place on Tuesday, at Ayr. inWellington-square. The figure is of colossal size, 10 feet high, and stands upon a pedestal of Dalbeattie granite 12 feet high. The incident chosen by th . artist is that which occurred at the railway station at Harraw. General Neill and the Fusiliers were about to' proceed t) quell the mutiny at Benares. A portion of the regiment not having arrived when the train was about to start, the railway official insisted on its proco.ding without them, but General Neil immediately and on the spot had him arrested; the soldiers coming up shortly afterwards, the Fusiliers started for the scene of danger, and, under their peat commander, speedily restored the disturbed dis trict to tranquillity. Among the immense assemblage pre sent were the Earl of Eglinton, Viscount Ingestro, Major Got dor, aide-de-camp to General Neil, and many other distingu shed persons. NEW STEAM BATTERY.—The Admiralty have issued tenders to fur of the leading shipbulding firms for the coast uction of an iron-cased steam frigate, similar t) that n w building, at the Thames Iron Works. This au noun • nent will b 3 received with satisfacfo t by thcsa who know wl at is go'ng on across the Channel with reference to this class cf vessels, to which great impot t n :e is eviden!lf attached by the authorities. The steam trigatoel a s t v c i n s e Thames Iron Works is rapidly progressing, th 3g el _h Leon laid down, and the bulkheads for the WlLeteam ihhipt.pin partments being considerably advanced.
