MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Activity and firmness are still the predominating features of the money market. Preparations for the engagements due to-day, the 4th, increase the inquiry for money, of which discounters have not an abundant supply at their command. First-class paper, of short date, cannot be negotiated under the Bank minimum, and the greater number of ap plications consequently are made at the Bank of England. The Essex has arrived from Melbourne with 1483,152 in gold. The increase in the value of cotton has occa sioned a corresponding advance in the price of bar silver to send to India. The quotation is ss. lid. per ounce. The letters of allotment of the shares of the Cachar Company will be issued on Monday next. It has beeen announced that Messrs. C. Moore and Co., the well-known shipowners, intend to establish a monthly line of packets from London to Calcutta, sailing the sth of each month, com mencing the sth December next. The agents are to be Messrs. Alexander Hawden, Sons, and Co. Two o'CLocx. At the Paris Bourse this morning, according to Renter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. itentes were 68f. 45c. Flat. - The English Stock Market has continued steady at the improved luotations of last evening. Very little business has been in progress, and there seems little prospect of any important advance being established. Consols are 89f for money, 89i for the account, and 89i for the November set tlement. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 871; Annuities, 1885, 131 ; Exchequer Bills, 6s. dis. ; India 5 per Cents., 1041 104 ; ditto Enfaced 5 per Cents., 1011 ; ditto 51 per Cents. 1081; ditto Bonds, 21s. 255. prem. _ _ In the Foreign Stock Market prices were generally more buoyant at the opening, but have subse quently slightly reacted. Turkish Consolides are 49f I ; Mexican, 26} 1; the New Loan, 25! j ; Greek, 201 ! ; Spanish Passive, 29f f ; the Cer tificates, 12} ! ; Italian, 641 65 ; the Confederate Loan, 6 8 ; and the Brazilian Scrip, 3i 4f prem. American Securities are generally buoyant. United States 5-20 Bonds are 691 ; Erie Shares, 851 ; and Illinois, 60f 61. The transactions in the Railway Share Market have been on a moderate scale, and prices have in most instances shown an upward movement. Lan cashire and Yorkshire and South-Eastern have each improved ss, Great Eastern, Brighton, and North-Eastern (Berwick) each, lOs ; and Man chester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, £l, while North- Western, South-Western, and Metropolitan, have each declined I. The Foreign and Colonial lines remain inactive, without any material change in value. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are dull.

(Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN RE STUART.-CARD-PLAYING AT CLUBS. This bankrupt was described as a gentleman, of various addresses at the West-end and in the country, and to-day he came up for the order of discharge. The debts are about £2,179, and the deficiency £2,104, the bankruptcy being ascribed to the insufficiency of assets to meet liabili ties. Amongst the creditors are Captain Disney Roebuck, of the United Service Club, Charles-street, St. James's, who holds a power of attorney for £7OO for money lost while playing at cards, and Mr. Rawdon, of Cowicks, in Essex., £740, also for money lost at card-playing. The case had not concluded when this report loft, but it was anticipated that some arrangement would be made with the creditors. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day, MARLBOROUGH-STREET. BURGLARS FRUSTRATED.--Thomas Brown, address re fused, describing himself as a printer, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with attempting burglariously to break and enter the house No. 34, Golden-square. Police-constable Philip Shrives, of the C division, said that between 12 last night and 1 this morning he was in Brewer-street, Golden-square, when he saw the prisoner in company of two other men. He followed them about for some time and saw them separate and then join again. Two of them went and stood, one of them at the corner of Upper James-street and the other at the corner of Upper John-street, while the third got on the railings of the area of No. 34, Golden-square. Some glass was then broken and the man jumped down and ran away. The prisoner and the other man then met and walked down Silver-street into the square again, and while two of thorn got in the doorway of the house No. 34, the prisoner got on the rail ings and placed a large piece of paper which had been smeared with treacle (called by burglars a " treacle plaster") on the fanlight so that no noise of broken glass should be heard, and he then smashed in the fanlight with his hand, but the glass making a noise through the clumsy manner in which the job had been performed, the pri soner made off, some persons coming through the square at the time. He followed the prisoner and saw him joined by two other men in Silver-street. They afterwards sepa rated, and he followed the prisoner and saw him go up to a house in Silver-street, and on looking in the doorway he (the constable) found the " jemmy" produced, (stated to be of first-rate workmanship.) Ho then went after the pri soner and took him into custody, and on searching him at the station he found in his possession a piece of wax taper and a knife. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the constable said that on examining the fanlight ho found that it had been broken sufficiently to allow of the entrance of a man. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he should remand the prisoner for a week to give the police an opportunity of tracing the other men. SOUTHWARK. SERIOUS ASSAULT FY A FEMALE.—Sophia Harold, a dissipated-looking young woman, was charged before Mr. Woolrych with the following assault on ono of the night watchmen employed in Blackman-street during the repairs that are going on in the street. The prosecutor said that about half-past ono o'clock this morning his attention was drawn to some men and two women in Blackman-street, who were conducting them selves in a disorderly manner. One of the women, not the prisoner, was throwing stones, and on his remonstrating with her the prisoner abused him and threatened to knock his head off. Immediately after she flung a largo stone at him, which would have struck him on the head and no doubt inflicted a serious injury, but he stooped and he was struck on the shoulder with great force. The prisoner then assaulted him with a volley of stones, but he gave her into custody. The prisoner denied the assault, and said she was stand ing at a stall when a policeman and the prosecutor came up to her, and took her into custody. The prosecutor—There were five men and two women in the street, and I can speak positively as to the prisoner being the party who threw the stone at me. 54 M der osed to having taken the prisoner into custody as she was standing at a coffee-stall. She denied that she was the person who assaulted the prosecutor, and on the way to the station attempted to kick the , latter several times. The man with whom she had been in company endeavoured to surround him and the prosecutor, and he apprehended that they would have ill-treated them. Sentenced to imprisonment for five days. The Fenians. DUBLIN, Tuesday Morning. Yesterday the inquiry into the case against the six prisoners was resumed before Mr. Stronge, the divisional magistrate, and resulted in the committal of O'Donovan, Rossa, Luby, O'Leary, O'Connor, and O'Keefe for trial, the case against George Hopper having been postponed. The day was prin cipally occupied in reading the informations of the several detectives who have been entrusted with the delicate duty of " keeping an eye" on the suspects ; and, certainly, the minuteness of their statements and the particularity with which the movements of the different " conspirators" were watched and re corded in the " diary of the G's," leave no doubt that the duty was discharged with the most scru pulous conscience, care, and exactness. Everywhere they went, when and how they came, to whom they conversed, and very frequently what they said, was " down in black and white" against them. They were dogged and watched night and day—at home or abroad, the detective was their faithful attend ant. The drill meetings were chronicled with espe. cial particularity ; where they met, the number " under arms," and the exercise gone through, were also duly entered in this day-book of " rebelly doings." The reading of these lengthy documents having concluded, another informer occupied the stage and the attention of the auditory. This was no less a personage than George Augustine Frede rick Gilles ! Who is he ? " A cart and dray maker," as set forth fully in the deposition. He let the stable in which Moore, the industrious black smith, turned out pikes at the rate of 120 per week, at the small charge of 2s. 6d. each. He tells us that the pikes were removed in boxes of fifty, and sometimes, when so many were not required, only two dozen. They would be carried away under the arm of one of them ; on one occasion he him self brought fifty pikeheads tied up in a cloth to a public-house kept by a man named Hendrick, and delivered them by direction to a man whom he did not know. They had the stable so con trived that no person could be admitted into it without George Augustine Frederick Gilles con senting. He knew the person called Capt. Michael O'Boyle. On two occasions he came to the stable while they were pike-maki ng . H e knew very well that the pikes were for the Fenian movement. Several persons, he said, connected with the Fenian Society, whose names he did not know, but whom he would recog nise again, visited the stable where the pikes were made ; he could also identify several of the brother hood, who were drilled in his drawing-room by a man named Michael Murphy. On one occasion he was drilled himself. Thirty men used to meet in the drawing-room. He was a C, which stood for sergeant, but he knew none of the officers except the man immediately over him. On the 6th Sep tember last he was present at a meeting at which there were seventy-five officers. Captain O'Boyle was there, and some others whom he did not know, but whom he would be able to identify. A person unknown to the doorkeeper was asked if he knew any one inside, and if the answer was satisfactory he was admitted. They were addressed by the principals to the effect that they should stick together, to stay united, and not to flinch, but to stand man to man. Last week there were 120 pikes removed ; the pikes were similar to lances, the lance being seven inches long, and the entire pike-head two feet six inches. George Augustine, having been cross-examined, was permitted to withdraw, and Mr. Pearce Nagle took his place for the pur pose of making a third information, which, how ever, it is unnecessary to particularise. The evi dence having concluded, the magistrate proceeded to commit the prisoners. The following is an ex tract from the full report : The Magistrate—l consider it to be my duty to commit the five prisoners —J. O'Donovan Rossa, C. Manns O'Keefe, Thomas Clarke Luby, John O'Leary, and James O'Connor —for trial on a charge of high treason. It is my duty to ask them if they wish to say anything in reference to the charge. They are not obliged to say anything unless they de sire to do so. The prisoner O'Leary asked to be permitted to make a statement. Mr. Sidney, Q.C.—lt is right to say that any statement he now makes is not made with my concurrence. The Prisoner—Certainly. When we first appeared be lore this court Mr. Parry sada fie Government, was - not proceeding against us from any fear of the so- called Fenians, but, as well as I could understand him, because oertain weak-minded persons, I suppose including my Lords Bandon and Fermoy, wore afraid. Now, Ido not care to enter into any detail as to the manner in which the Go vernment has treated us since our arrest ; but 1 must say that a Government which has been so very spiteful must be somewhat afraid. The Magistrate observed that what Mr. O'Leary said did not relate to the charge against him. The apprehensions of the Government had no reference to the charge made against him. He was there represented by counsel, and he would take it down that either he had nothing to say, or that he denied the charge. The prisoner O'Leary—l make no such statement at all. The Magistrate—That being so, I commit you for trial. The prisoner Luby observed that Mr. Barry had made a charge in the early part of his statement that they had pro jects of assassination ; but he could say for himself that nothing was further from his mind. He thought he under stood him to say that there were speeches made at the meetings of the Fenians exciting to assassination ; but he could only call to his mind having seen one speech having that tendency, and in one of the numbers of the Irish People they would find an article disavowing the expressions of the speaker. With regard to anything else I have nothing to say. A time may come when it may be necessary for me to make some observations. The prisoner O'Donovan said he supposed there was no use applying to be admitted to bail. As regarded the Irish People office, which had been seized, he understood that guards had been sent to the office, who received all letters and transmitted them to the Government. Mr. Barry—l believe letters are intercepted. The prisoner O'Donovan—They are received and sent to the Government. This I say is more despotic than tho Russians in Poland, or the Austrians in Italy. The Magistrate said they were charged with being guilty of the high crime of treason, and the newspaper publica tion and everything connected with a conspiracy, every weapon yielded by those persons was seized by the Go vernment. They were charged wiih conspiring to upset and overthrow the Government of the country, and it was not likely the Government would allow them to continue to avail themselves of the weapons by which they sought to overthrow it. Ile was really surprised that O'Donovan complained of being deprived of those weapons ; the com plainant he thought was quite unreasonable. The prisoner Luby--I must say you said any Govern ment in Europe would behave precisely the same. The Magistrate—l did not. I said any Government at either side of the Atlantic. Tho prisoner Luby said that during the present century, not since 1803, had any, government adopted so harsh a principle as the seizure of the Irish People. In the case of Mitchell his paper was not seized until after his condem nation, and the Felon and other papers were not seized in 1848 until after the suspension a the habeas corpus. In the present century, at either side of the Atlantic, they had not heard of so harsh a Measure, except where martial law was proclaimed. The liagistrate--You are nog• committed on the infor mations made before me. The prisoner O'Donovan —Mr. Barry brings matters forward that ho has got since Ive were arrested, and he says " under these circumstances it was impossible for the Government to forbear," that is, that it was impos sible for the Government to forbear making the late seizure after getting evidence which they did not get till after they had made that very seizure. I do not expect justice here. This is a prison. We have been removed from one prison to another. I would ask you to go back with me, if your imagination can go back so far, to Poland, and imagine a correspondent writing from Poland to the Times newspaper such a letter as this, headed " Seizure of a Newspaper." I will road this for you. The Magistrate—ls this by way of defence ? The prisoner—lt is. He then read the following letter : " Warsaw, Sapt. 30. " On the night of the 15th inst. the Russian authori ties marched a company of police and a division of their spies to Parliament-street, and halted at the office of the Polish, People newspaper. The officers in command demanded admission, and, the doors not being opened, they gave or ders to have them broken. A search was made through the house, and none of the officials being found, all the locks were broken, and books, papers, printing materials, and all matters portable were taken to the Russian garrison. While the police were inside the house a company of the spies entered the connected p la c r e were posted outside, who arrested and convoyed t o p r i son every suspicious porous who was attracted to th e spot b y curiositywith th e establishment, interest. Before from who h onextthe dp d on a re y tve nearly e r to the propriet or , had been arrested, many had been also lodged in prison. It was fortunate for the inhabitants that no individual had resisted arrest, as the commander of the city had all the military under arm; with rifles loaded and capped, in ease of any resistance. A guard of police was loft in charge of the office. - They receive all letters and communications coming there, and transmit them to the RUSsian Cioyeraor. It is thought that the authorities expected to seize information which would lead them to the capture of a large amount of military stores, as the Polish exiles in America had been taiking, of an army of liberation for Poland, and of sending war material into the country. Simultaneously with this proceeding orders have been issued to the Russian officials to seize every military-looking man wearing American boots, to have him searched and de tained until the governor is communicated with, and his report made known regarding the prisoner. In furtherance of these orders largo bodies of police are stationed on the frontier at the American side, and every returning emi grant found in possession of a pistol, a military book, or any memento of the American war, is pit under arrest. The Russian government some time ago gave the Poles a kind of constitution. The present proceeding is in viola tion of this ; in fact, it is a complete revocation of it. The governor of Poland, who must be a Russian, has, through his press, circulated a report that the despotic seizure of a newspaper, and all men and materials belonging to it, was made on information received from the American govern ment, but this is doubted by many, as some forty men are now in prison a fortnight, and it is known that two of the Russian magistrates are in daily communication with the spies and the professional swearers, who are always at hand for use. Indeed, it is known that one of the latter left St. Petersburgh a few weeks ago, telling an acquaint ance of his that he was going to Warsaw to do a bit of business. Though it is a principle of law in many cowl ' tries that a man charged with a crime is presumed inno cent until found guilty, it is different in Warsaw. The moment a man is arrested on a political charge, he is presumed guilty, and treated accordingly. Though he might not be brought before the public tribunals for four, eight, or twelve months, there is no bail for his appearance. He is sent back to his dun geon, and treated as the caprice of the governor of Poland may suggest. The men in this case have been kept in solitary confinement all hours of the day and night, save two. During ono of these they leave their cells in the morning to wash, and the other at noon to walk about a small yard. This time the guards are doubled on them to prevent their talking, and they must keep a certain distance away from each other. They are also prevented from having any communication with the outside world. They are to be removed from one prison to another to-day, in order to appear before the officials who have been preparing the charge against them. The prisons in Warsaw are generally governed by the municipal coun cil of the city, but it is the privilege of the Russian Governor to take the government of them into his own hands, which he generally does on occasions of this kind. The news paper writers of Poland would be loud in their denuncia tions of such despotism if they saw the English Govern ment acting this way in Ireland or the Austrian Govern ment in linngary ; but Russian influence and patronage blinds them to every act of tyranny in their own unfortu nate country." The prisoner O'Donovan continued—This is the way the Irish People has been seized, and the way we have been treated. We wanted to have an hour's conversation in the presence of an officer of the prison, and we sent this scrap of paper to the governor : " Richmond Prison, Sunday, Oct. 1, 1865. _ . " Sir,—ln taking measures to prevent us from speak ing or communicating with each other, the Government, we consider, are precluding us from the means of defence. We were before the Crown prosecutor yesterday. Many things came under our notice that demand our considera tion for a short time before we are taken before them to-morrow again. We ask that we may be allowed to confer during an hour or so. Did the matter rest with yourself, we may expect you would see the justice of granting this request ; but if Government has given orders to the contrary, of course we cannot expect it. JOHN O'LEARY, JAMES O'CONNOR, O'DONOVAN ROSSA, GEORGE HOPPER." T. C. LIMY, Well, the governor sent a message saying that he could not grant our request himself, but would send a copy of our communication to the authorities, and that if they gave him liberty, he would give us the opportunity we asked. Under those circumstances I think we are treated very harshly. If we were charged with murder, or the assassi nation with which Mr. Barry opened his statement, we could not be worse treated than we are. We defy you to prove us criminals. We defy you to bring evidence to show that we were in association with this Nagle or Pettit. Why did you not honourably prosecute our paper, and we would be able to defend ourselves, instead of bringing up professional 'swearers to swear against us ? None of the other prisoners offering any further obser vations, they were all removed in custody to the prison van, which, escorted by a troop of mounted police, drove rapidly to the Richmond Prison. The reports from Cork show that the authorities are in no wise relaxing their activity. Yesterday a tall, able young fellow, named M'Namara, who had been arrested at Youghal as a Fenian con spirator, was lodged in Cork gaol. He is the scn of a publican, and made himself notorious by his violent revolutionary language. His father is said to have informed against him. Two more arrests were made on Sunday in Cork. The first was of a man named Edward Walsh ; a commercial traveller in the employ of a soda water manufacturer. This man is charged specially with attempting to seduce soldiers from their duty at Kinsale, and to swear them of the conspiring brotherhood. The second person arrested was Timothy Connolly. The pug nacious Timothy is charged with being affiliated to a section of the conspiracy established in Waterford. The excited condition of the public feeling in Cork is shown by the following from the Examiner:-- On Sunday considerable excitement and speculation was caused in Queenstown by the sudden departure of the Liverpool, H.M. frigate, upon some mysterious mission, the purport of which was not revealed. Before departing the Liverpool took on board a considerable reinforcement of marines and sailorsfrom the guardship, and she was boarded by some of the police authorities, with a large number of men—it is said about 40—of the reserve force. Various rumours were circulated as to the meaning of their mission. One of the rumours was that the London steamer, the Ibis which arrived yesterday morning, had passed, near Roche's Point, a largo armed cruiser, flying the Fenian flag. We have made inquiries of Capt. Holland, commander of the Ibis, and are informed by that gentleman that during his passage from London he saw no vessel flying the Fenian flag, or a green flag of any kind. MARKETS—This Day.

TIIE MURDERER FORWARD.—NO steps will be taken by the Home-office, it is understood, to pro cure the removal of Southey to London to take his trial for the murder of his three children. He still remains in the gaol at Sandwich, and will not be tried until the winter assizes at Maidstone, previously to which he will be taken to the county gaol. He continues to act in the same ex cited manner, and it is the opinion of some persons about him that he is feigning insanity.—Kentish Gazette. BREAKFAST BEVERAGE. —H omceopathic praotitioners, and the medical profession generally, recommend cocoa as being the most healthful of all beverages. When the doctrine of homoeopathy was fit introduced into this country, there Were to be obtained no preparations of cocoa either attrac tive to the taste or accepts' le to the stomach ; the nut was either supplied in the crude state, or so unskilfully manu factured as to obtain little notice. J. Epps, of London, homoeopathic chemist, was induced in the year 1839 to turn his attention to this subje.t, and at length succeeded, with the assistance of elaborate machinery, in being the first to produce an article pure in its composition, and so refined by the pert, et trituration it ieceives in the process it passes through, as to be most acceptable to the delicate stomach. For general use EIJI s' cocoa is distincuished as an invigo rating, grateful breakfast beverage, with a dellaous aroma Dr. Hassall in his work. "Food and its AdulteratiLns," says—" Cocoa contains a great variety of important nutritive principles ; every ingredient necessary to the growth and sustenance of the body." Again, "As a nutritive, cocoa stands very much higher than either coffee or tea." Direc tions : —Two teaspoonfuls of the powder in a breakfast cup, filled up with boiling water or milk. Secured in tin-lined 1-Ib., i-lb , and lib. labeled paceets, and sold at Is. 6d. per lb. by grocers, confectioners, and chemists. --- - SPORTING INTELLIGENCE—This Day, BETTING AT THE VICTORIA CLUB.

This meeting, in addition to the sport being of a very meagre description, was shorn of the importance which attached to it in former years, when transactions on the two great autumn handicaps, the Cesarewitch and Cam bridgeshire, were so extensive as to attract a large number of bookmakers and backers. The opening day on this occa sion possessed no feature of importance whatever, as affect ing the great race of next week, and but few transactions were effected. Salpinctes was perhaps not quite so firm, 7 to 1 being offered without a response, but this was pro bably attributable to the scarcity of backers. Ostregor, at 11 to 1, was not backed, but no higher price could be ob tained, and he showed no symptoms of declining in the market. 25 to 1 was taken about Eleanor, and Zephyr at 40 to 1 found a friend. For the Cambridgeshire, Sister to Drake and Custard Castle, at 20 to 1 each, and Lampoon at 50 to 1, were backed, but only to small amounts. It is unnecessary to refer to the racing here, as the annexed re turn contains every particular. The attendance was small, but the afternoon was particularly pleasant, a cooling breeze tempering the heat. Subjoined are full details of the run ning•:— The Consolation Stakes of 5 sous each, with 25 added, for three-year-olds ; colts, Bst 101 b ; fillies, Bst 71b ; the winner to be sold for £l5O. About one mile. Lord Westmorland's Orloff, by Muscovite—Cicadia, Bst 101 b (Morris) 1 Mr. 11. Wright's Bunch, Bst 71b (PAnson) 2 Betting-5 to 2on Orloff, who jumped off with a com manding lead, which he held to the turn into the straight, where Bunch drew up, and for a moment it looked like a race, but half way up Bunch was in difficulties, and Orloff won in a canter by a length. The winner was not sold. The Two-year -old Stakes of 10 sous each, with 50 added; colts, Bst 101 b ; fillies, Bst 71b ; penalties and allowances. About half a mile. Mr. F. Fisher's Magician, by Flying Dutchman—Magic, Bst 131 b (inc. 31b extra) (Fordham) 1 Mr. Rogers's Miss Roland, 9st (inc. 71b extra) (J.

Betting-7 to 4 agst Miss Roland, sto 1 agst Magician, 6 to 1 each agst La Germaine and Katie, and 10 to 1 each agst Locust and The Masson. They were started in capital order, The Squire rushing to the front and carrying on the running for 100 yards, when Magician headed him, and won in a canter by three lengths from Miss Roland (who ran into second place when fairly in the straight); Diadem, rushing through the beaten horses opposite the stand, finished a bad third. La Germaine was fourth, The Masson fifth, Katie sixth, Locust next ; The Squire was last, some distance in the rear. The Town Plate of 25 sovs, added to a sweepstakes of 3 sovs each, for all ages; selling allowances. About three quarters of a mile. Captain Machell's Indian Star, 2 yrs, sst 71b (V 9) (Htiyhoe) 1 Mr. Naylor's Gemma di Vergy filly, 2 yrs, sst ilb (£.10) (Huxtable) 2 Mr. Jones's llopbin© filly, 2 yrs, sst 71b (X4O) ...(Milne) 3 The following also ran :---Corinthian Tom, Skirmish, Master Shutt, and Bunch. Betting-6 to 4 agst Indian Star, sto 2 agst Skirmish, 6 to 1 agst Master Shutt, and 100 to 8 agst any other. A tedious delay at the post was occasioned by the anxiety of Skirmish and Corinthian Tom to get away, but more par ticularly to the pertinacity with which Master Shutt stood stock still, and eventually on their being started he was left at the post. On fairly settling in their places Skirmish and Indian Star rushed to the front, and carriedon the running side by side clear of the remainder, foremost of whom was the Gemma di Vergy filly. On making the bend into the straight Skirmish gave way beaten, and Indian Star, with Mr. Naylor's colt in close attendance, drew away, the for mer winning easily by three lengths ; a similar distance separating second and third. Skirmish was fourth, Corinthian Tom fifth, Bunch last. The winner was bought in for 105 guineas. The Bedfordshire Stakes of 70 soya, added to a handicap of 20 sous each, 10 ft, 5 only if declared; iyinners extra. About two miles. 23 subs, 17 of whom pay 5 ft.

After going a short distance Orloff rushed to the front, followed by Lizard, Seven-and-a-half, and Rattler, in which order they passed the stand the first time, but immediately afterwards Seven-and-a-half was eased and allowed Rattler to take third place. Approaching the three quarters of a mile post Lizard hung out signals of distress, and soon gave way, dropping rapidly to the rear ; whereupon Seven-and-a-half went up to Orloff, whom he headed on getting fairly into the straight, and cantered in an easy winner by a length and a half. Rattler was a bad thud; the favourite beaten off. BETTING AT MANCHESTER-TUESDAY.

BREAKING OF A WIRE-ROPE.—An inquest was held yesterday at Wombwell, near Sheffield, on the body of a man named Banks, who met his death under rather peculiar circumstances at the Wombwell Main Colliery. It appeared that the shaft, which is 220 yards deep, is worked by a wire-rope, and this rope had been tested to stand a strain much more severe than would be imposed on it in the ordinary work of the mine. The inspector of mines for the distriet was at the mine on the morning of the accident and examined the rope, and it appeared to be perfectly sound. In the afternoon a load of corves was attached to the end of the rope at the bottom of the shaft, and the signal given to the deceased, who was banksman. The load had not been drawn more than a few yards before the rope snapped on the drum over the pit-mouth. The broken end flew with great force across the top of the shaft, struck the deceased on the back of the head, killing him instantly, and dragged him after it down the shaft The sudden breakage was totally unaccounted for, but no blame seemed to be attached to any one. The jury brought in a verdict of accidental death. DESERTIONS FROM THE BELGIAN ARMY.—The Gazette Belge gives the following account of deser tions of non - commissioned officers from the Belgian army to enter the service of Mexico:—" At Tournai, a few nights back, the colonel of the 20th Regiment of Chasseurs in garrison there was informed that a number of his non commissioned officers intended to desert. Be immediately gave orders to Lieutenant Bechet, of the gendarmerie, to prevent the realisation of that project. Patrols were ac cordingly sent to watch all the roads leading to the French frontier. This precaution did not prevent nine non-com missioned officers, three of whom were sergeant-majors, and three corporals, from scaling the walls of the citadel and escaping with their arms and equipment. On the table of their room they left a paper, on which was written : We have taken our muskets loaded with 20 ball cart ridges, intending to resist to the uttermost, if any attempt be made to prevent us from passing into Franco. Tho next day the colonel received a letter announcing that his deserters had arrived safely at Lille. A day or t 2 71 later eight more non-commissioned officers deserted. England." FIRING AT A RAILWAY TRAIN.-011 Sunday afternoon, as the 2 o'clock up train from Chatham to the Victoria terminus of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway was leaving the Rochester-bridge station, a loaded revolver was fired at one of the carriages, two of the balls from which passed through the window of a first ' class carriage in which Major W. H. Kerr, of the 2d Depot Battalion, Chatham, was seated. At the moment before the balls passed through the compartment of the carriage Major Kerr had shifted his seat from one side of the car riage to the other. Whether or not the pistol was dis charged designedly at Major Kerr cannot be positively stated, as the police have not yet succeeded in apprehend ing the parties who committed the outrage, but from the position of the train at the time, which at the moment had just passed out of the station, there is little doubt the re volver was discharged, from one of the houses in Strood, which at that part of the line come close up to the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway. The police are busily exerting themselves to discover the guilty person, to whom, it is believed, they possessed a clue. THAMES. MURDEROUS ASSAULT ON A WlFE.—Joseph Payne, a gun maker, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with vio lently assaulting his wife, Harriet, who appeared in court in a very weakly condition. There were bruises on her face, and a large bump on her head. The prisoner is a brutal, drunken, and dissipated scoun drel, and his wife said she had boon beaten by tho fellow hundreds of times. She has supporte d herself and chil dren by her own industry seven _years. two years has entirely maintained her husband. He has been out of work for two years, and brought home nothing towards the support of his home. He has, however, managed to get drunk two or three times every week ; last evening he was mad drunk. His wife gave him some tea which she prepared for herself and family. He demanded that fresh tea should be made for him. A quarrel ensued, and he called his wife most frightful names and struck his daughter. The complainant went towards them to pro tect her daughter. The prisoner struck her and knocked her down, and then beat her with a heavy stick over the head and shoulders. She was reduced to a pitiable con dition. The prisoner was taken into custody by Andrews, police-constable, 62 11, and he made a violent resistance. Mr. Paget sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for three months, and to find good bail to koep the peace for three months longer. WANDSWORTH. THE EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF CONCEALMENT OF BIRTH. —Fanny Knight, a respectable looking young woman, who had been living with her father in Penton-road, Nine Elms-lane, was brought before Mr. Ingham on final exa mination, on a charge of concealing the birth of her child. The evidence (which has already appeared in The Sun) having been read, Mr. Ingham said he should commit the prisoner for trial for the misdemeanour, as there was no proof of the exist ence of a living child. The prisoner reserved her defence, and on the applica tion of Mr. Ricketts, the magistrate said he would take bail for her appearance, in two sureties of £5O each. Prince Torlonia's colossal undertaking of the drainage of the Lake of Fucino has recently been entirely centred in his own hands by the dissolution of the company founded in Naples in 1853, in consequence of the prince having been sole proprietor of the 21,500 shares issued. Twelve years ago the capitalists doubted of the success of the operation, alleging the failure of the Em peror Claudius, who spent millions on it in vain; but the prince persevered, although, instead of the eight years originally calculated, the works have been going on twelve years, and the capital has required to be doubled. On the 9th of August, 1862, the Torlonia emissory was opened for the first time, and in fifteen months it drained 2,000 hectares of land. On the 28th August of the present year the emissory was opened again, and will continue in operation for about two years, during which period 5,000 or 6,000 hectares of land will be drained. All that will then remain to be effected will be a canal in the basin of the lake, which will drain 8,000 hectares more of most fertile land. EXTRAORDINARY SCENE IN A SUNDERLAND THEATRE.—Mr. Chas. Dudley has closed his season as lessee and manager of the Theatre Royal, Sunderland. On Friday it was announced that Mr. Dudley would take his benefit, and the play selected for the occasion was "The Lady of Lyons." After two acts of the piece had been gone through, there followed a " scene" behind the scenes between the manager and his company, and as a consequence there was a long and unusual delay in the rising of the curtain. The " gods" manifested some impa tience, but at length when it became whispered that the actors had struck for their salaries the audience became quite uproarious. A shower of halfpence, apples, potatoes, and nuts were thrown on the stage, and adventurous youths climbed up after the copper, and after pocket ing it expressed their thanks in a series of saltatory capers before the cur ain. All this was accompanied by a running chorus of yells, hisses, and laughter. Ultimately, Mr. Dudley appeared before the curtain, and attempted to apologise and expostulate, but his voice was drowned by the shouts and hisses of the audience, who continued the shower of halfpence and fruit. He attempted to make merry under the circumstances, by picking up and pocketing the money, but after having a huge lump of bread aimed at his head, he deemed it prudent to beat a retreat behind the scenes. The gods then struck up the famous Amarican war chorus, "John Brown," which was roared out from every part of the theatre, with the refrain We?ll hang Peggy Potts on a sour apple tree, Glory Hallelujah !" Mr. Morton Price and Miss Lucette appeared, and were well received, the audience listening patiently to their songs and duets, and also to a few remarks made by Mr. Price. Mr. Dudley afterwards emerged from behind the scones to announce that Miss Lucette would appear in "Perfection," but he was hissed, as before ; and the first scene of the piece was opened amid a deafening noise, which continued until the actor and actress walked off, and the curtain was once more dropped. After this the money -taker vanished, and the gods descended in a body, bowled over the check-takers, and took complete possession of the pit, pitching the or chestra chairs on to the stage, and creating a scene of the greatest confusion and uproar, which continued till the theatre was closed.-1\ Chronicle.

I have only time to state that a most favourable change has taken place in the weather (plenteous rains and cool breezes), which has been followed by a rapid decline in the cholera cases. On the 26th, the day of the departure of the last mail, there were only seven fresh attacks ; yesterday there were again seven ; and to-day they fell to three for the whole island. In Valetta we have had no cases for two or three days. I hope to be able to announce very shortly the total cessation of the disease which has carried off in Malta since the 3d of July no less than 1,318 persons out of 2,143 attacked, besides about 130 among the troops. The cholera still lingers in Gozo, where it com- Imenced later, that is, on the 21st of July. The attacks in that island yesterday were nine, and the deaths four; but a more favourable report is ex pected to-day. The total number of attacks there, up to the present moment, is 442, and the deaths, 212, in a population of about 14,000. Several hundred Maltese have left during the wee': on return to Alexandria. About 100 left this morning by the steamer Lybia. Tyrian has left Malta with mails for the fleet, and the Chanticleer (17) is daily expected here with despatches from the Commander-in-Chief at Leghorn. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE—This day.

Whence comes it ? How can its return be prevented ? What is the best defence against its attacks ? When occurring, how can they be cured ? We may fairly pass with slight conside ration any hypothetical, dreamy, or superstitious notions respecting its final causes. We cannot believe it to be the hand of Providence punishing us for our evil deeds. Be cause Providence is just ; and so many honest folk have died of the cholera, and so many rogues have escaped or survived it, that that pious supposition must be discarded. Nor can we believe the cholera to be a natural means of keeping down a superabundant population. Mon have been foolish enough to say, " We want a good war; wo shall soon not know where to stow ourselves ; Europe is too thickly inhabited." But there is no good war. War is one of the most senseless acts which our infant humanity commits. Moreover, there aro not too many inhabitants, neither in the United Kingdom, nor in France, nor in Europe, nor elsewhere. We cultivate only one-tenth part of the habitable globe, and we set-to to cut each others throats instead of cultivating the remainder. Truly, mankind is an intelligent race ! It is poverty, and the weakness which it engenders ; it is debauchery and selfishness, which undertake the task of limiting the popu lation. There is no need for either war or the cholera to give them a helping hand. War is quite a thing of human invention ; and " the God of Battles," if not a scrap of heathen mythology, is certainly an abominable and absurd piece of blasphemy. It is now held that the cholera is an evil due to the same initiation ; that the cholera, like the plague, is the consequence of human stupidity and folly; that, although we cannot exactly say what the cholera is, at least we know whence it comes. And, when once wo know the cause, can we not avert its consequences by the effectual suppression of that eause.—Dickens's "All the Year Roane _ rin out ohn in ed and ided e in Lcess tg at ince ►cess n of shalt thie. .ber the arks and icess were need cator ►cca - ;Teat from I re and d at from a are )eing , the cart nage were tious ijury ce in le of _~ Share, 100 at 1 20 10/ 1 10 100 1 100 100 100 all 100 100 100 1100 2 100 100 ME Li' 190 100 100 1 , 0 100 100 101& 101 i IC2I
