MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. _ . The commercial classes are busily providing them selves with the accommodation required for the bills falling due on the 4th, and the Money Market is therefore very active. The supplies of floating capital are plentiful, but the quotations of the brokers are firm at 4i per cent. for the best bilis. The directors of the National Bank of India have issued a report for the half-year ending 30th June presented to the meeting of shareholders at Calcutta 29th August. A dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum is recommended, leaving a balance of 7,726r5. to be carried over, after increas ing the reserve fund by an addition of 52,000r5. At the Bank of England yesterday there was a further influx of £122,000, of which £lOB,OOO was in bars, and /14,000 in sovereigns. From the accounts published by the Board of Trade, it appears that the imports of raw cotton during the pabt eight months have been largely in excess of those in the corresponding periods of 1864 and 1865. Subjoined are the particulars:-1864, 4,670,000 cwts. ; 1865, 4,561,040 cwts. ; and 1866, 8,809,601 cwts. In Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days there has been an absence of animation. Only a small quantity has changed hands, at about previous rates. For coffee the de mand has been limited, and prices have slightly given way. Rice has also been in less request, and at reduced prices ; while tallow has remained very inactive, at about previous quotations for both pre sent and forward delivery. Two O'CLOCK. At the Paris Bourse to-day, according to Reuter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were dealt in at 69f. 22 c.—Heavy. In the English Stock Market there have been numerous dealings, but prices show no material variation. The Funds have been firmly supported at former values, and Consols are 891 1 for money, and 891 f for the account. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 87* ; Nev 21 per Cents., 711 ; Exchequer Bills, 2s. dis. ; Bank of England Stock, for account, 2411 ex div. ; India Stock, 211 ; ditto 5 per Cents., log 105 ; ditto Enfaced 5 per Cents., No+ ; ditto Debentures, 101/ ; and ditto Bonds, 20s. 24s.'prem. Very few movements of importance have taken place in the Foreign Stock Market to-day. Turkish 5 per Cents. are 311 ; Mexican, 161 4 ; Greek, 151 ; Spanish Passive, 22/ 23* ; the Certificates, 14/ 15* ; and Italian, 56* 1. United States 5-20 Bonds have receded * per cent., to 69/ 70%; Erie shares, however, have ad vanced n, to 51 52 ; and Illinois 1, to 771 /. Atlantic and Great • Western. Debentures are steady at 65 67 ; and the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds at 46 47. In the Railway Share Market the dealings have been been on a very moderate scale. Prices, how ever, are generally firm. North Stafford and Great Eastern have each improved £1 ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 15s ; and Great Western, ss. ; while London; Chatham, and Dover, and Great Northern, each declined 10s. ; and South Eastern, 15s. The Foreign and Colonial undertakings show little change of importance. Dutch-Rhenish are marked 19. ; South Austrian and Lombardo-Vene tian, 16f , Grand Trunk of Canada, 19f ; and East Indian, 1021 102,1. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares remain very quiet. Consolidated are steady at 5f ; London and County, at 63 631 ; Anglo-American Telegraph have improved to 16/ 17 ; Atlantic Telegraph 8 per Cents. paid up to 112 f 115 ; Telegraph Con struction and Maintenance to 161 4 ; while Na tional Discount Company have• declined to 14 prem.

THE SUN, LONDON, TOESDAY EVENING, OC PJBE It 2, 1833. SURREY SESSIONS---This Day. (Beforo T. Tilson, Esq., Deputy-Chairman.) CHARGE OF STEALING TALLOW. George Morris and Robert Toocock, lightermen, were charged with stealing a cask containing 1,000 lbs. of Rus sian tallow, the property of William Joyce and Sons, lightermen and barge proprietors, at Shad, Thames, and in another count with receiving the same, knowing it to be stolen. Mr. Joyce appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Lilley for the prisoners, both of whom pleaded - not guilty. It appeared that the prosecutors were employed by the St. Katharine's Dock Company to bring to the docks 94 casks of tallow, which were on board a vessel called the Dworia, which waa lying in front of the wharf at Shad Thames. On the 28th of August last, two men in the en:- ploy of . the prosecutors removed the casks into the barge William, where it was left. On the 29th the barge drifted and stink, and the casks of tallow floated about the river, but 93 of them were recovered. The missing ono was supposed to contain the tallow which it was alleged was stolen by the pris.•.ers. On the afternoon of the 29th of August Toocock and : Morris were seen proceeding in the direction of llorsleydown, ono wheeling a barrow which had three bags filled with tallow. Suspicion being excited they were given into custody. Portions of a cask bearing the same brand as the other casks was found on board a barge, the property of Toocock's father. Mr. Lilley submitted that there was no evidence- to go to the jury. The Deputy-Judge was of the same opinion. The law dealt very differently with a case where property was merely lost and not actually stolen. The jury immediately acquitted the prisoner. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH STREET. A 31111tDEIWIJS SCENE IN ST. GlLES'S.—James M'Carthy, a labourer, was charged with violently assaulting Hannah Regan with a lifo preserver. The complainant, whose head was bandaged, said she lived at No. 5, Church-lane, St. Giles's, and between 9 and 10 last night he went into the Jamaica Stores publichouse, accompanied by a female friend. Directly afterwards the prisoner's wife and mother came in, and the former asked her if she would fight. She told the wife that she did not feel inclined for a fight then, and the wife then struck her, and they fought and fell together. The prisoner then came up and struck her on the head with a life preserver, and she fell senseless. She got up to make her way out, and on getting to the door the prisoner's brother took the life pre server from the prisoner, and struck her on the head with it, knocking her down senseless. She was aft(frwards at tended by a doctor, and the female who was with her gave the prisoner into custody. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the complainant said she was positive the prisoner's brother struck her with the life-preserver, but she did not see the the prisoner strike her, but the witness Elizabeth Sheehan, the complainant's witness, after corroborating some poitions of the evidence, said the pri soner drew the life-preserver from under his arm, and struck the complainant. The prisoner's brother then said, " Sling it," and receiving the life-preserver from the pri soner, struck the complainant on the head. Police-constable House, 46 E, said the brother was then in court. Mr. Tyrwhitt asked the complainant whether she wished to charge the brother with assaulting her, and on her stat ing that she did, the brother was taken into custody and charged, giving the name of Edward M'Carchy. The complainant having repeated her evidence, House, 46 E, said that on going to the spot he found the complainant covered with blood. He took the complain ant to the King's College Hospital, and James M`Carthy yitS taken into custody. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he would remand the prisoner for a week to see whether the complainant died or not. The complainant said her life was in danger from the prisoner's friends. Mr. Tyrwhitt said if any one molested her she was to come to the court for protection. MONTHLY PERIODICALS. • BLACKWOOD.—" Sir Brooke Fossbrooke" is more welcome in its details in this instalment, because that very objectionable man Colonel Sewell seems to be declining in prosperity. He is a consummate villain in his way of proceeding, and it is quite a relief to find his star on the wane. Mrs. Sewell also appears to great disadvantage here, and the other, gentle Lucy, is quite an agreeable contrast to her. We meet with accounts of back-stair influence, and certain little occurences take place which would not bear the light of day, but which, nevertheless, are not without their due influence on public matters. Sir Brooke himself is a fine old man, and his long career of misfortune seems likely to - be changed into good augury at last. " Concerning Salads and'French Wia )s" is a sketch that is amusing and enter taining in its way, and contains many varied receipt 3 for making salad. The conversations that ensue are very ludicrous, and it seems as dn.:tilt to come to a peaceful decision or a unanimous conclusion concerning salad-mak ing as anything else of a more important character. Much said in favour of French wines by these learneddis putants ; but we trust that the goo 1-will between England Ind Franco may be strengthened by other and more effectual moans than the importation of claret into this country, for it never will become a favourite here. " Light and Dark Blue" is a suggestive sketch, and it is truly state I that if you take two well-educated Englishmen, and intro duce them to each other, and leave them to their own devices to entertain and make conversation: there is one question pretty sure to 'pass between them, " Are you Ox ford or Cambridge ?" Some of the reflections at the con clusion are very deserving of attention. It is asked if no mode can be adopted, with the great wealth of our col leges, " for making some of them available for the reduc tion of college expenses to those who require it, and so opening their advantages to s larger class." " Nina BA latka, the Story of a Maiden of Prague,' is as intricate as ever. Her adventures are very strange and exciting, and she seems left to herself in a very extraordinary manner to carve out her own fortune. " Alison's History of Europe,' 1851-2, is an elaborate article, which does full justice to the subject. It is well remarked that the "reputation of Alison is a growing reputation," and he may discern the approving verdict of posterity in the signs of the present day. "Ile does not write in the interests of any class, or to humour the public of the present day, and he will reap the reward of enduringfame," "Lectures on the History of the Jewish Church;" by the Dean of Westminster, are here considered. Two only as yet of the three Volumes are before the public ; the criticism hero passed upon them is not a favourable one, on account of their being too hesi tating and uncertain intheir treatment of religious matters. Cornelius O'Dowd is chiefly occupied this month in consi dering the German war. TEMPLE BAR.—" Lady Adelaide's Oath" is pro ceeded with at some length, and it is very eventful in this portion. We meet with several details of interest. Lord Dane has the audacity to take pos session of all the goods which had been cast up by the sea, and especially of a certain box which had been claimed by the American who escaped shipwreck. The gradual way in which Lord Dane is sinking down into infamy is vary well described, and he is evidently working out his own destruction by the course he pursues. No doubt this box contained proofs which were not very agreeable to the haughty nobleman, and therefore he stooped to the mean trick of concealing it. " Archie Lovell " also attracts notice on account of the stage which it has reached. Archie is in sad trouble, more so in fact than Gerald himself, who is brought before the magistrates on a charge of murder. This is a very effective point in this story, for it shows in a forcible manner what evils accrue to those who take a wrong step. That may pass by un noticed at the time, or indeed not be found out at all, but sooner or later the day of retribution will arrive, and woe botido the luckless offender then. Ralf Seton is a fine, straightforward character, and gives Archie the best pos sible advice under the circumstances. " Psis ce quo , dois : advienne quo peurra"is indeeda noble.maxim, and one that ought to be much more extensively acted on than it is. There would be far loss of sin and suffering in the world if all acted on the principles of Major Seton. " Truth un compromising, unwavering, is the only rule of life that I have ever known to answer either ler man or woman. If pride and self respect and family honour had to be main tained by sacrificing it, they would not, I should imagine, be worth holding any of them." There is something ori ginal in this tale which attracts notice, and makes it appear out of the common. A " Tale of the War" is a curious sketch, which is effectively told. It ends sadly enough at last. " Through Somerset" is a very pleasing little sketch, which furnishes us with some good descriptions. The reminiscences of Bath are inte resting, and there are some pretty verses en the city - of "thermal fountains." The "weird and wandering echo of its abbey chimes" haunts the traveller in foreign parts, and ho is glad to recur to the scene of former days, though twenty years have altered many things. An entertaining account of Bristol is given, and it is said that among the people of Bristol there is a quaint hereditary tendency to blunder. They are full of "energy, strength, and daring, but they miss their opportunities." Foreign scenes are not forgotten, for we meet with the records of a visit to the Mound Praries, taken from Vancouver's Island. "A Ramble on Salisbury 'Plain" is an - cither agreeable sketch, and an excellent article appears on "Cant" Some of the advice given is well worthy of regard by all. For poetical contributions we have an effective sketch called " The Magic More," and a Spanish tale, entitled " Hugo the Bastard." _ _ _ COHNIIILL.—" The Claverings" is continued, and matters seem to be nearly approaching a crisis. Lady Ongar displays a good deal of sense and spirit, but she is in too difficult a position to extricate her self with anything like success. Perhaps the indi vidual who comes out to the most advantage in this number is Theodore Burton. His downright manner is quite a relief after all the subterfuges to which some resort in the furtherance of their schemes. In all probability we shall meet with some striking occurrences in the next instalment. "The Village on the Cliff" is likewise con tinued, but not very satisfactorily in point of narrative ; though the style story is very charming. The scenes in the French life of the heroine are described most delight fully, and the reader feels inclined to wander among the fair scenes so temptingly put before him. Miss St. George is one of those gentle little creatures who seem to deserve a kind fate, and yet to meet continually with an adverse one. " Presentiments" is an article that will most likely attract attention, for it treats of a subject that interests all, cnore or less. It is truly said that we "may lay it down as a rule that the essence of a true presentiment is that it shall be spontaneous." Many curious instances are given of this kind of feeling prevailing among people in certain cases, and with more or less similitude, to after-events, as the sequel proved ; and on the whole a wise conclusion isnrrived at when it is said that "we cannot safely be guided by presentiments till we have the means of knowing when they are genuine, and this we cannot know; but we may do something to wards knowing it, and by means of that we may all steer a course between the danger of blind subservience and blind mistrust." "Naval Men" refers to a want that has boon often before acknowledged of our acquaintance of the difference occasioned by professional division; and naval men are indeed notably distinct and separate. They are trained for their employknant ; as is wall put here, " they are bred in their profession, while other people are bred for theirs." Some noteworthy remarks are made at the con clusion of this article, which contains anecdotes of many characters of eminence. It is said that when wars are dis cussed as possible, we alffays hear of our " naval defence;'' never of our "naval attacks." Other navies are spurring up to contest the palm with us, and "meanwhile a painful uncertainty prevails as to what modern changes really Lmount to, and whether the odds are against us or not; and, along with all this, there is a growing party, who tell us that we must never attempt to be even the first naval power in the world again. What' wonder then, we say, if naval men are ill at eaSo, - and less like the light-hearted British tars of other times?. If this be so, the proper course for their countrymen is to consider in what way any grievances they have can best be remedied, and to encou rage them by that hearty confidence in their future which is inspired by every phase of their long past. " A Night on the Ortler Spitz" presents us with details of exciting adventures, which were often most perilous. " Sister Leucathea" is a melancholy reminiscence of convent life, which possesses, however, a fascination in its exciting de scriptions. "Clough's Life and Poems" may be entertain ing to some, and it is affirmed of him that "if we seek to affiliate Clough to his legitimate predecessors in English literature, we shall find that he descended lineally from Wordsworth. Both belonged to the lovers and observers of nature in all her work; philosophical thinkers, and liberal politicians, who form the flower of English literary men. " The• Peace Conflicts of India" furnish subj icts for reflection. FRASER.—" Notes on Florence," which first greet the reader on opening this .number, gives an agree .tble picture of life in the new capital of the Italian kingdom. The moderation of the charges for lomestie necessities and pleasures is something marvellous, and render it .not surprising that four thousand crowns is reckoned a good Florentine income, equal to as many thousand pounds in the hands of an Englishman.' It is a lively paper, dealing more with the social aspects of the fair city on the Arno, though a little of the political element is necessarily mingled. " The Indian Civil Service " is the next topic discussed, and it is one that in these days is of considerable importance. The whole question of the advantages and disadvantages of an Indian career is entered into fully by one who is familiar with it, but is by no means inclined to paint the picture in too attractive colours. He sums up his judgment as fol lows: —" Tho total of the account will then stand thus : An Indian career in the civil service holds out a certainty of good pay, honourable position, fair pension, and reason able independence. But these secular advantages are pur chased by twenty-two years' actual exile, by loneliness and isolation, by the endurance of the numberless trials of a tropical climate, by the chances of death or of impaired health and energy, and by the more than chance of sepaxa tion from children and wife. The disadvantages are so manifold as to outweigh the solid benefits, and we feel quite certain that any measure tending to lower the emoluments or curtail the privileges of the Indian civil service would still more diminish the number of candi dates for admission to that body." With regard to the system of competition, the writer says that it has now been tried for eleven years, and that while it excludes dull ness and incapacity, suchas could formerly pass through Haileybury, its best candidates aro not superior to the best men formerly appointed. Still this is something gained' and a further experience may improve upon the result. Two very well-written and readable articles follow each other closely —" On Living in Perspective," by the author cf "John Halifax," and " On the Education of Girls by a Utep'an." The first of these, though brief, is 7uggestiv.‘, and gives some very plain, straightforward alvice to many self-tormenting mortals. By living in perspective is . meant simply living ace3rding to the rules of moderation and good Sense, with that perception of the relative fitness of things which will prevent virtues from running into vice, gene rosity from becoming extravagance, economy from dege nerating into parsimony, devotion from passing into idolatry, industry from sinking into a complete abSorption in business. it may easily be seen how wisely and kindly the author of "John Halifax" handles such a subject, and the pre-Raphaelite picture which suggests her musings may form a very apt illustration for the lives of too many well-meaning but one-sided people. "On the Education of Girls" is likewise a very sensible and profitable paper, though it discusses a somewhat threadbare subject. It no longer requires "a Utopian " to argue in favour of a solid training for the female sex, though the full advantages of such a system are as yet but imperfectly recognised. The arguments brought forward in this paper aro certainly conclusive, and they aro enforced by several examples. The remarks on schools and colleges at the end are just and suggestive. Very much remains to be done in this matter of girls' education ; but something is already gained, since it is now generally admitted that it requires more than the fact of wanting to gain a decent livelihood to'qualify a teacher for her ardu ous and responsible office. " Em's First and Last Lodger" is the title of a story which possesses two very great merits; one is a claim to originality, and the other the unusual attraction of beginning and ending within the compass of one number. The author has contrived, notwithstand ing, to sketch his characters with some care, and to intro duce several incidents, so that it is to be hoped his suc cess will inspire other story writers to follow his desirable example. There remain several other articles of varying merits and interests, - and the number is altogether consi derably above the average. THE SUBURBAN MAGAZINE.—This is a pleasant, lively miscellany enough, although somewhat flighty occasionally. As it is a new comer it must not be hardly judged, and is very well calculated for what it apparently aims at—beguiling the hour spent in passing to and from the centres of business and the metropolis. THE FLORAL WORLD.—Here we have, as usual, plenty of good advice and interesting comment for the botanist, the market gardener, and the floral amateur. The two latter may learn something from its hints on the best modes of cultivation, and the new plants most in vogue, but the language is rather too learned for the general reader. THE INTELLECTUAL OBSERVER.—This serial has a good deal of scientific discourse and instruction, though it is riot exclusively devoted to abstruse study. There are two sensible and suggestive papers, which do not at all necessitate very learned tastes to appreciate and profit by. One is on " The Street Archi tecture of London," and is deservedly severe upon some of our ambitious attempts. The other is on The Family Life of the Middle Classes," and shows, in very strong colours, a great deficiency in our domestic circles. Micro scopic research and natural history occupy, as usual, a considerable portion of the strictly scientific contents. THE ENGLISH MECHANIC.—We have here a scientific and industrial magazine of a standard character, very well calculated for the information of skilled workmen, whose comprehension of the narratives will be much assisted by the illustrateddiagrains Female Fashions for October. (From Le Follet) The tendency to simplicity which just now characte rises la mode—above all, la mode Parisienne—is almost unprecedented in the annals of fashion. The most elegant dresses are at the watering places, so that toilettes de vfile are, for the time, little talked of. Preparations for winter 'are being made, but are scarcely sufficiently advanced for us to speak of in a very decided manner, except in a few general remarks. One topic of interest is the fact that all acknowledge the great probability that short dresses will be adop ed for out-of-doors wear, though we believe no lady of elegance will give up the long, graceful-trained skirt for at home or evening dress. Of course, short dresses necessitate a very small cage—so small, indeed, that they cannot be recognised as such. Still a total absence of cri noline Would produce a remarkably mean effect. Just enough is required to prevent the dress from clinging. Another fact may be confidently affirmed, _that the pep lum will maintain its rank in the realms of fashion. It will be made of satin trimmed with lace, of .velvet embroidered with beads, &c. Speaking of peplums; we must not omit to describe the peplum ceinture. It is made to imitate the whole peplum, and is a very economical and convenient fantasie. Three wide bands of material are cut about a quar ter of a yard in width. The middle one is in a point forming a V ; those at the side are the same width and length, but cut in a bias point. The three ends or barques are joined together at the top, and fastened to the ceinture• This may be trimmed with passementerie, guipure, &c. Long sashes, very wide, with large mines or rosette bows, are much worn, with evening dress especially. They are tied behind. They are worn either with the peplum or with high or low body. Ribbons for these are made either plain, watered, or with velvet, and of satin for moire or taffetas dresses. Cluny lace, embroidered with straw, is a trimming much patronised for muslin drosses, vestes, or tuniques. ➢Zany charming trimmings are made for these simple toilettes. Others wo may also mention, such as Cluny embroidered with dewdrops, on a moire corsage ; with ribbon embroi dered with beads, and edged with fringe to match. For a saute-en-barque, guipure with white or black beads, hang ing ornaments, balls, tassels, silk or woollen network, gold cords, chenille worked with steel, &c. _ . The small cachemire paletot, so much in favour last spring, is decidedly again the favourite for'this season ; it is no longer, however, embroidered all over with beads — that has become rather common—but it is trimmed with bands of galon or cachemire, worked with beads. If the cachemire bo of a pale colour, the beads are frequently white—for instance, a paletot of turquoise blue, with white beads—black cashmere with black beads being the most suitable for mourning or general wear. Beads have been worked into such a variety of forms that it scarcely seems possible to make any novelty in them, though they are still much in vogue. A new style of trim ming is, however, being manufactured, which it is supposed will be greatly approved of. It is composed of cut cache mire of divers shades, embroidered in black silk. We must devote a short space to the subject of lingerie, which is now so important, including not only sleeves, collars, cuffs, &c., as formerly, but those charming white morning toilettes, indispensable to a lady of fashion. We will describe one, and with this commence our monthly list of dresses. It is made of percale long robe with a train, without plait or waist, quite high to the throat, and fas tened all the way down the front with small filigree silver buttons. • Sleeves and casques fastened with buttons to match. 1 f the robe is of muslin—material more suited for dejeuner or at-home dress—a small corselet of blue, green, or gold-coloured satin should be worn with it, with sleeves of the same, having small jockeys of embroidered muslin, trimmed with lace, and the front of the skirt trimmed with rosettes of the same coloured satin, and looped up on each side over a petticoat with embroidery and Cluny insertions, A toilet of drab poplin. Under skirt cut round the bot tom in long tabs, trimmed with black velvet worked with thick white beads. The upper skirt is shorter, and trimmed to match. The seams are covered also with a beaded black velvet. Fitting casaque, the same material, with a ceinture with long festooned ends, and buckles at the back and on the shoulder of velvet and beads. A toilette of taffetas, of two colours. Violet under skirt, trimmed round the bottom with a wide flounce put on in hidden plaits. The upper skirt of pearl-grey taffetas, fes tooned and edged round with black guipure. Body of vio let taffetas, made in high chemisette style, with hollow plaits and sleeves trimmed with guipure. For pardessus, vest Without sleeves, of pearlLgrey trimmed like the upper skid. Peplum with tassels of thick violet silk. A dinner dress of pale drab taffetas with the four front scams covered with white guipure insertion over biases of mauve taffetas. Tight body, with sleeves ala Juive, under-sleeves and collantes. Evening dross of embroidered Indian muslin; looped up ou each side with blue silk cords over a skirt of blue taffe tas. Low body, with large basquine, embroidered and fes tooned like the skirt. The autumn bonnets have not altered visibly in shape only in the materials used. Thus, a chapeau of black lace worked with jot. At the back, a conquille of lace, fastened by a band of jet, forms a small curtain. Aa t the side a bunch of cornfl owe rs or ponceau velvet, with spray of silvered leaves. Wide strings of ponceau, covered with black lace. A charming coiffure —we cannot venture to call them bonnets—was formed of a square of black tulle, trimmed with daisies of black jet, and edged with a fringe of jet. The barbes of black lace, which are very wide, are fastened loosely under the chin with an ornament of jot or small moss-rose buds ; a largo moss rose on one side, and long bows of black ribbon falling over the back hair. VALUABLE DISCOVERY. -A gold ornament, dis covered, in excellent preservation, by a workman employed in drainage works in the parish cf St. Juliot, Cornwall, about five feet from the surface, has within the last few days been gold for ay.

A FRIGHTFUL PICTURE.—A shirtless and shoeless child, with scarcely a rag to cover him, was, to the surprise of all present, charged before the presiding magistrate. Mr. Arnold—What is this child's age ? Policeman— Seven years. Mr. Arnold—Are any of his friends here ? Policeman—His father is. Mr. Zeboye, surgeon, Belgrave-road—l found this child begging last evening at 8 o'clock, and looking at his age and his condition, I thought it very pitiable, and, as an act of charity, had him brought to the station. Mr. Arnold—What has the child's father to say to this? The Father, a bricklayer, named Pendegrast —I can't do no good with the boy—he is always knocking about the streets, and sleeps out for nights together. Mr. Arnold—Have you any other children ? Father —Three more—two younger than him. Mr. Arnold —You might surely put a shirt on the child. Father—lt would be no good—it would soon all be to rags, either in the new building . or down by the water side. Mr. Arnold—l shall send this poor child to an industria school for three years, and you will have to assist in main taining him. Adjourned for necessary arrangement. MARKETS.--This Day. HA Y.

Last evening the hon. secretaries of the Volunteer Committee received a telegram from Brussels stating that at its sitting yesterday the Conseil Cornnzunalof that city fixed the commencement of the anniversary fetes, postponed from last month, for the 12th inst., and the reception of the foreign Riflemen for the evening of the 11th. The Tir .National will be opened on the 12th, and the shooting and the enter taiAments to which the Volunteers are invited will extend over several days. It is believed that the reception of the Volunteers will be witnessed by the King and Royal family; and it is stated to be the intention of his Majesty to nominate the Lord Mayor of London, Lord Elcho, Lord Spencer, and Colonel Colville Commanders of the Order of Leopold. The fetes will be even more splendid than was originally intended ; and from the number of fresh applica tions for entry tickets it is believed that the Volun teers will muster in much greater force at Brussels than they would have done if the visit had taken place last month. Indeed such is the demand for hotel accommodation that the hon. secretaries are most anxious that Volunteers who have taken tickets but cannot go should intimate the fact as soon as possible by communication to the committee, at their office, 79, Basinghall-street. Up to the present time not a dozen of the entire number of Volunteers who took tickets last month have applied for a return of their money. It has been determined to close the lists at noon on Friday next. Accounts received by the committee yesterday state that the cholera has disappeared from Brussels. COURSE OF EXCHANGE -This Evening.
