MONEY MARKET COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, Two o'CLocir. At the Paris Bourse this morning, according to Reuter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were 67f. 90c. Quiet. Saturday, as usual, has been a dull one, as re gards the markets of the Stock Exchange. Con sols have recovered the i per cent. they lost yester day owing to a few purchases ; foreign stocks are flat, through a paucity of dealing, while railway and miscellaneous are comparatively firm. In the Foreign Stock Market there has been very little animation. Turkish Consolides have receded to 481 • Mexican Stock, to 251- j. ; do. New, to 241 ; while the Italian Loan has improved to 641. Business in the Railway Share Market has been very dull, and prices generally:exhibit little variation. Lancashire and Yorkshire have declined 55., and Great Western, 15s. The Foreign and Colonial lines remain inactive, at previous rates. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares generally show no material alteration in Talues. Overend, Gurney, and Co., are dealt in at 16i. 17k ; Merchants' Com pany shares are quoted s t prem. ; London and Australian Agency, prem. ; and Transatlantic Steam Ship, 1 prem.

Very little business has been transacted to-day in the Discount Market, but the rates continue very firm. There was an influx of gold at the Bank yester day of £66,000. The monopoly in the coal trade seems likely to be checked by the action of the " Joint Stock Coal Company (Limited)," which having raised its share capital by private circulation, is establishing coal depots in various parts of the metropolis. From the large amount of trade it is doing and the popular principles on which it is based it is anticipated to be a great success. The morana , mts of the precious metals during the past week have been on an extensive scale as regards the imports. 0 wing to large arrivals from America, the West Indies and Pacific, and Australia, they have amounted to about £611,149 ; while the exports have been to the extent of £156,669, chiefly to Bombay and the Brazils. It has been announced that the subscription list of Allan' s T ransatlantic Telegraph Co. will close on Wednesday next, the 18th inst. The latest quo tations are 11 2 prem. The second report of the directors of the Credit Foncier and Mobilier of England has been issued. It states that after paying all expenses the net profit available to 30th September last amounts to £180,805, out of which it is recommended to carry £30,000 to the dividend reserve fund, *which will increase it to £lOO,OOO. This appro priation will leave £150,805, and a dividend is pro posed of 10s. per share (equal to 20 per cent, per annum) ; and in additton thereto 103. per share as a bonus, both free of income-tax, being together at the rate of 40 per cent. per annum, the same as distributed last half-year. In order to extend the area of the company's operations, it is resolved to increase the capital to the full amount, namely, £ 40 ,000,000, by the issue of 100,000 new shares, on which £5 per share only is intended to be called up. The emission is to take place as follows : 50,000 shares are to be offered to present shareholders, to be allotted in the proportion of one new share for every two shares held, and to be issued at a premium of £2 10s. per share ; the re maining 50,000 to be offered to the public at a pre mium of £3 10s. per share. rrmlar. liglilands. on Thursday, arable weather, ikeld House on opportunity of interesting and Cuesday after incess Helena, y, visited her ,out four miles inspected the e of the finest Wednesday, Majesty and Liss M‘Gregor, Loch of the d at half-past rse of people, Her INiajestl wed gracefully ye to the Falls , and then to 1.

It will be remem bered that an announcement had been made of a trip in the steamer to the penal settlement, in order to afford thcgentlemen from Barbadoes an opportunity of viewing the fine scenery of the Essequibo river dis trict. The steamer Berbice left this river on Mon day morning, with a party of 39, composed of the Barbadoes Eleven, several gentlemen of this city, and some 17 officers of the Aurora and Steady, on board, reaching the settlement on the afternoon of the same day. Yesterday the party, after visiting Mr. Fausett's wood-cutting establishment, prepared to shoot the rapid (Castabuk). The arrangements were made under the directions of Mr. Comptroller Bagot. But it appears that his prudent instructions were not obeyed, and one of the most lamentable accidents that it has ever been our sad task to record has followed. There were two boats used for the purpose of shooting the rapid. One of them was the Lady Wodehouse, belonging to the penal settlement, and capable, as Mr. Bagot knew, of carrying with safety only 14 persons ; but, we understand, while attention was turned away parties crowded into her to the number of 19. The first boat succeeded in shooting the rapid without any accident, but the Lady Wodehouse, which fol lowed, was observed in her descent to broach to, it is supposed from the paddle of the steersman catch ing into a crevice of the rock, and in an instant sha was capsized and the 21 persons were strug gling for their lives. In a stream like that, the water dashing over a precipice at the rate of some ten miles an hour, it may well be supposed that even an expert and powerful swimmer has but a poor chance for life, especially as when the accident occurred they were under the tent of the boat. Nevertheless, some of the parties struck out man fully, while their friends in the other boat were com pelled to witness their struggles without being able to rescue them. Five of the gentlemen and two of the boatmen were drowned. The names of the gentlemen are—Captain Beresford, the son-in-law of his excellency the governor ; Mr. R. D. Stewart, partner in the firm of Messrs. S. A. Harvey and Co. ; Mr. Rowley, second engineer of her Majesty's ship Steady; Mr. Lionel Parks, of the Post-office, Barbadoes Eleven; and Mr. Christie, of the George town Post-office. The others were saved either by swimming or by being dashed on the rock. Mr. Frederick Smith, the captain of the Barbadoes Eleven, swam boldly for some time, and was after wards picked up, apparently dead, but has since been revived. Mr. Stewart, also, who was a good swimmer, struck out manfully for some time, but unfortunately exhausted himself swimming against the current. ALL ENGLAND PLOUGHING MATCHES.—The rain which has fallen has put the ground into a much more suitable state for these contests. Three matches have come off this week—viz., at Evercreech, Somerset ; Long Sutton, Lincolnshire ; and Tenbury, Worcestershire. The two former were attended by both the Howards and the Raneomes, but the latter did not compete at Tenbury. The three prizes were all carried off by the Bedford firm. At Tenbury, for the first time this season, the dynamome ter was applied, when the draught of the competing ploughs was found to vary as much as 70 per cent., the prize implement of Messrs. Howard being the lightest in draught by upwards of 20 per cent. THE AMERICAN SPIRITUALISTS IN TROUBLE.— The New York papers print the decision of Judge Hall, of the United States District Court at Buffalo, in the appeal in the Colchester case. Colchester, as previously stated, 'SSTs fined forty dollars and the costs of suit for practising the profession of spiritualist, or juggler, with out having taken out a licence under the Internal Revenue Laws, and this was now confirmed. The Judge, in the course of his judgment, said The per formances of the defendant were claimed by him to be the exercise of the alleged powers and capacities of the so-called spiritual mediums—a numerous class of persons, many of whom were within the reach of a subpcena, and could be easily found. If the defendant and those spiritual mediums are not impostors who practise upon the credu lity of those who patronise them, the most obvious and direct mode of proving the defence set up was to put these so-called mediums upon the stand to. attest under the solemnity and responsibilities of an oath, the fact that they do receive communications from some spiritual and other supernatural or unknown source in answer to questions of whose contents they are themselves ignorant ; that they do what the defendant did without any sleight of hand per formance, and do not willingly deceive and delude those who consult them. It might well be supposed that this class of persons, who it was said by the de fendant's counsel were as conscientious and confi dent in their belief of the truth of their professions as were thoso martyrs who have suffered at the stake, in at testation of the sincerity, of their religious belief, would gladly embrace an opportunity to prove, upon a judicial trial, the sincerity and truth of the pretensions, if such proof could be made. That no ono of this class of persons was called upon the stand, or volunteered his testimony upon this trial, probably the first widely advertised oppor tunity of removing this vexed question of the truth of their pretensions from the regions of dreamy speculation and dogmatic assertion, and bringing it to a legal and public trial in the mode and upon the evidence to which, after all, the world's experience we are still obliged to resort for the determination of all questions of fact in which the liberties and lives of our people depend—is a circumstance of much significance and weight, upon the question of the guilt or innocence of the defendant. Not only the pecuniary in terests, and perhaps the personal liberty of the defendant, but the interest and reputation of all the so-called spiritual mediums, were involved in this question ; and yet not one of those persons who, upon their own knowledge, could have given direct and important testimony, was placed upon the stand, and the defendant's defence was suffered to rest mainly upon the efforts of his able counsel and the proof by those who had consulted him that he had re turned pertinent answers to their questions, and showing their writing upon his arm without their being able to dis cover the manner in which he learned the nature of tho questions, or that there was any sleight of hand used in his performances. To deceive the eye, to perform tricks with such surprising skill and rapidity as to prevent his manner of proceeding from being discovered, is the ordinary skill of a juggler; and the proof given was not sufficient to shake the confidence of the jury in the case made by the prosecution. In short, the affirmation proof of the defend ant's guilt was very strong, if not absolutely conclusive; the defence set up required the jury to disregard the nason and experience upon which we are accustomed to rely as citizens and as jurors; and the unsatisfactory character of the defendant's proof, and the failure to resort to the most obvious and direct mode of disposing of the case made by the prosecution, left the jury no alternative, for they could not resist their conviction of the defendant's guilt. In conclusion, the judgment of the court is that the indict ment in this case is sufficient ; that the defendant was legally tried and properly convicted ; and that sentence must follow the conviction." MOVING PIIOTOGRAPHS.—Many years ago M. Plateau invented a curious apparatus, called the phenakistoscope, in which, on viewing through a slit the figures drawn in a circle on the revolving disk, we see them moving, playing at leap-frog, and performing all kinds of antics: a phenomenon owing to that peculiarproperty of the retina which consists in retaining fora short time the fin- as eff st e ru ct c s k o i f t. t M he . Claudet i in pression or endeavouringsensationofthetoimcaogme b w in h e ich th h e phena i kistoscope with those of the stereoscope, has found the means of obtaining the illusion of m ov i ng figu es so as to make each figure complete a certain ac tion, but without stereoscopic effect; being indeed only half the desired solution, but still highly remarkable. Suppose two boxers, one represented in the act of preparing to hit his opponent, and the other in the act of striking the blow. These are only the extreme positions of the act of pugilism, but if the eye perceives the first, and imme diately afterwards the second, the mind completes the action and we see the pugilist actually hit the blow. To attain this result M. Claudet has arranged a stereoscope in such a manner that by means of a slide with one hole, he can, by moving it rapidly in a reciprocating hori zontal direction, shut one lens while the other remains open ; and in continuing that notion, while one eye sees one of the two pictures, the second eye cannot see the other picture. Now, if before the sensation of one eye is exhausted the slide shuts the lens and opens the other, a new impression is produced on the retina, and we have an interrupted sensation of vision, as if the object had moved before us; and if a sufficient number of pic tures rei resent that object in the various consecutive positions it has assumed during several stages of its motion, we experience on the retina the same sensation we have when we see the object itsself while moving. More- over we see the object without difference or interruption, whether by the right or the left eye ; and we cannot even distinguish which is the eye that has had the perception. M. Claudet can employ eight different photographs repre senting as many different stages of the action, by arrang ing them on the four faces of two cubes reyeking together on a common axis parallel to those faces, and that way the illusion is complete. LAW IITT This Day. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Gibbons.) WILSON V. JACKSON. This was a case in which the plaintiff, a sheriffs' officer's man in possession, sued defendant, one of the officers of the Sheriffs of London, to recover extra money for watching a prisoner for debt five nights, while the latter was confined in the defendant's lock-up. Upon the first healing his Honour expressed an opinion that the charge was a rea sonable one, when defendant applied for an adjournment, in order that he might prove by the officers generally that such a claim was improper and nover paid. Mr. Bennett, for the plaintiff, stated he understood de fendant had thought better of the matter, and paid money into court. Mr. Buchanan, for defendant, said the debt and costs were Paid in. His Honour remembered the case, and that defendan was to bring evidence to-day as to the custom. Mr. Bennett had been informed that defendant had con. suited a very experienced sheriffs' officer in the City, am learned that he had actually paid into court £1 too little What was now required was costs for attorney and w: nosses in the first hearing. Mr. Buchanan did not think that the court ought to allow costs, as the amount sued for was under £2. Mr. Bennett reminded the court that there had been a great fight to establish the principle in this caso, and as an attorney appeared for defendant costs ought to bo allowed. His Honour thought that, considering the nature of the claim, an- attorney ought to be allowed, and ordered de fendant to pay the costs of the attorney and two witnesses, the verdict being entered for plaintiff. POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This Day, BOW-STREET. Two men named Chappel and Wooler were placed at the bar, charged with robbing their employer. Mr. Haydon said he was a builder, residing at Hackney. Be had some work going on in one of the courts leading out of the Strand, and the prisoners were in his employ. He had lately missed a great quantity of material, and from circumstances that had transpired he gave the prisoners into custody. A workman in the employ of the prosecutor, said he saw the two men carrying away three boards. He told Mr. Haydon about the matter Mr. Haydon said the police had found some boards, which were his property, but it was not the wood he had recently lost. That which he charged the men with steal ing was worth at least 15s. William Goslee said ho was a carpenter, and carried on business in Bedfordbury. On Tuesday evening, on his return from work, he found three large boards placed outside his shop. The two prisoners came to him and said there was some stuff outside which they did not want. He told them ho would go and look at it, and found there were four deal planks, and he questioned them as to their right to the property, and they both told him it was all right, that it was their own property. Thoy did not make a charge, but he (witness) told them he would give them ss. for it, which they took, and went away. Mr. Burnaby (the chief clerk) —Don't you know the boards were worth more than that. The prosecutor Taluos them at 15s. Witness—The wood found at my place is not the pro perty the prisoners are charged with stealing. Mr. Haydon—That is so. The wood produced is an ad ditioual robbery. Mr. Flowers—Do you wish I should deal with the case, or that it should be sent to the sessions ? Mr. Haydon—l leave it entirely in the hands of the Court. Chappel was my foreman ; he had charge of my keys, and he has shamefully robbed me ; notwithstanding, I don't wish to take the matter out of your worship's hands. Both prisoners pleaded guilty. _ . Mr. Flowers—l have some doubt whether I ought not to send the case for trial. You, Chappel, it appears, held a place of trust, and it was your duty to protect the pro perty of your employer, and not to rob him. .I. therefore sentenco you to six months' imprisonment ; and you, Wooler, I sentence to four months' imprisonment in the House of Correction, with hard labour. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. STEALING PORTMANTEAUS.—Edward Woodhouse, the young man charged with stealing portmanteaus from General Farris and Mr. Holland, M.P., was again brought before Mr. Knox, he having been remanded twice for the attendance of an American lady warned Aspinwall, now travelling in Scotland,who was robbed of her portmanteau and contents, of the value of £2OO, at Armfield's Hotel, Finsbury. Sergeant Thomas Sbillingford, of the C division, in formed the magistrate that Mrs. A.spiuwall was not in attendance. Mr. Knox said, that being the case the prisoner would be committed to the Central Criminal Court for trial, not for stealing the portmanteaus of General Farris and Mr. Holland, but for obtaining them by means of forged orders. WESTMINSTER. DARING STREET ROBBERY.—Mary O'Hara, a powerful looking woman, about 30 years of ago, was placed at the bar, charged with cutting a watch from the pocket of Walter Platt, of 22, Ponsonby-terraco, Vauxhall-bridge road, in a very dexterous manner. The prosecutor said that ho went last night to spend the evening with a friend in Hanover-street, Pimlico, and was returning through Besborough-gardens between 11 and 12 o'clock when he was accosted by the prisoner, who made some inquiry of him, at the same time approaching close to him. He answered her and turned away, but within a minute discovered that he had lost his watch, which had been attached to a guard chain round his neck. He im mediately turned round and seized the prisoner, when she screamed violently. The police came and she was given into custody, but the watch, which was worth £5, was not recovered. Mr. Selfe—What opportunity had she of getting rid of ;he watch ? Prosecutor—When she addressed me I observed she left some other person, and when she screamed out " Murder," two or three persons, who were evidently acquainted with her, came up and remained by her side for a minute, and then suddenly disappeared. William Hayson, 267 B, said he heard a call of "Police,' , and found the prisoner secured by the prosecutor. The latter was perfectly sober, and charged her with stealing the watch. Mr. Selfe—Did you see any person near her at the time you came up ? Policeman—Yes, after I heard the cry, and as I ap proached where the prosecutor and prisoner were standing I heard the exclamation, "Look out, here's the stop" (po liceman), and a man and a woman ran away towards Vauxhall Bridge. Prosecutor's coat was produced, which bore the appear ance of having been cut with a sharp instrument. Mr. Selle—What is known of the prisoner ? Davies, the gaoler—She is connected with a very bad gang of thieves in the neighbourhood. Prisoner said that she did not touch the watch. She was remanded till Thursday. 3IARYLEBONE. A SRAM DETECTIVE.—Timothy Desmond was charged with falsely representing himself to be a policeman. Wm. Bell, of Cirencester-street, Paddington, draper, said that shortly after 1 this morning he was on Paddington green, talking to a female whom he knew, when the priso ner came up and asked what they were doing there and what they were talking about. He told him to mind his own business, when he (prisoner) said ho was a policeman and should take him into custody. Prisoner lifted his arm up as if about to strike him, when he (witness) seized him by the wrist and said if ho was a policeman he must come to the station-house and prove it. With assistance he was got to the station-house, where his statement was found to be false. Prisoner—l said if I was a policeman I would take you. Mr. Mansfield said (after looking at the Act)—lt seemed to be a stupid interference on the part of the prisoner with other people. There was not enough to justify him in convicting, so the prisoner must be discharged. THE CATTLE PLAGUE.—John Ward, a cowkeeper of College-street, North, Camden Town, was summoned for unlawfully removing two cows suffering from the plague from his shed, without having first obtained tho order of Mr. Priostman, the Government Inspector. Mr. Ricketts defended the prosecution. The case was proved, and Mr. Kansasld flued the de fendant £lO and costs, THAMES. ROBBERIES BY AN APPRENTICE.—Josoph Broom, an ap prentice, aged 18, was brought bcfore Mr. Paget, charged before Mr. Paget charged with stealing twelve iron rods and other property belonging to Mr. Henry Boyle, machi nist and engineer, in the Mile-end -road. The prisoner is in the fourth year of his apprenticeship, and £2O was paid to Mr. Boyle as a premium. The pro secutor had missed a large quantity of 'Valuable tools, materials used in the trade, carrots which ho had stored, and other property. His suspicions were directed towards the prisoner, and a police constable teamed Carter, No. 78 K, was employed to detect him. Last night Carter was concealed on the prosecutor's factory, and at a late hour saw the prisoner crossing the yard. Carter stopped him as he Was leaving the shop, and said there is something that does not belong to you in yotir pOsSession. The prisoner said, No, there is not. Carter searched him and found two iron rods upon him. The prisoner handed the constable another rod. Carter searched him again, and took from him a carrot, which ho Mr. Boyle identified by the initials A. C. he had cut on the top of the vegetable. Carter then searched the prisoner's dwelling, and found nine other iron rods, a metal patterP) 444 some wood, all belonging to Mr. Boyle. The prisoner pleaded guilty, and Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, made an eloquent - and feeling address on his behalf. He asked tho , magistrate to convict th e b oy o f unlawful possession, that he might be restored to society ngaiii and reclaiDaeq, A conviction for larceny BILLINGSGATE.

Death of Mr. Rae of the Zambesi Expe dition• We regret to announce to-day the death of Mr. Rae, C.E., one of the members of Dr. Livingstone's exploring party in Africa, who expired under very melancholy circumstances in Glasgow on 'Wednes day. The deceased gentleman, who had been for some time at Zanzibar, arrived in this country on Monday week, and arrangements had been made that during his present visit he should be married to a daughter of the late Mr. Walter Dalgleish, Holyles, Selkirkshire. Up till Tuesday, which had been fixed for the marriage, the deceased was in apparently perfectly good health, but about noon of that day he complained of pain in the stomach. The symptoms, however, were not such as to cause any alarm, and the marriage ceremony took place at 3 o'clock. Mr. Rae, shortly after the marriage, seemed to be getting worse, and was put to bed. His illness was accom panied with insensibility in the evening ; in the morning consciousness returned, but unfortunately there was no recovery from his illness, as he died about noon on Wednesday. Mr. Rae worked in early youth with a millwright in Perth. He subse quently completed his apprenticeship as an engineer with Mr. Caird, the eminent shipbuilder on the Clyde. He afterwards entered the employment of Messrs. Todd and Macgregor, Glasgow. He was engaged in the French service in one of the trans ports employed during the Russian war, and he was at one time, we believe, wrecked off Cadiz. In 1858 he joined the expedition to the Zambesi, under the command of Dr. Livingstone. In 1860 he returned to this country to superintend the construction of the Lady Nyassa, which it may be remembered was built in sections, and was intended to be put on the Lake of Nyassa. He gave an interesting account of a shipwreck which occurred on his passage home. He sailed from Zanzibar on the 30th of August, 1860, in the Guide, sailing from Salem. The ship's company consisted of 20 Americans; and three Spanish ladies and himself were passengers on board. On the 4th of September, about midnight, the vessel struck, and went ashore at Rass Haffoon, near the Gulf of Aden. On the following morning they were able to reach the shore, but they were plundered of nearly everything they possessed by the natives. For several days they went about in search of water. Five of the crew who left their companions for that purpose never returned, and were afterwards found to have been murdered. Their sufferings at this time were indescribable, their tongues perfectly parched, and their voices so much altered that they could scarcely understand what each other said. They ultimately resolved to kill the captain's dog, which accompanied them from the ship, and Mr. Rae states that he put a small piece of the flesh over his lips to keep them moist, they being severely cracked and very painful. The party on the fifth day returned to the ship. They were visited by the chief's " head man" from the interior, who on learning that there was an Eng lishman in the party, said ho had his orders from his Sultan, if there was any English, to protect them until the arrival of the chief. The chief ar rived in five or six days, and through his kindness Mr. Rae was despatched with the ladies in an open boat to Makullah. Here, by the liberality of the Sultan, he was provided with another boat, which reached Aden on the 25th October, 1860, and from thence he secured passages enabling him to arrive at Southampton the 17th November following. Mr. Rae was a gentleman of amiable and kindly dispo sition, and was much beloVed and respected by all who knew him. He died at the early age of 32. Edinburgh Evening Courant. SOMETHING LIKE A SHOT. Mr. Adam Leding ham, gamekeeper to Mr. Simeon Keir, while out shooting upon the Lesmurdie moors, this county, upon Thursday last, discharged his doubleb l a n rrelled gun at a large covey of grouse that were flyi ng past him, and brought down five out of their number. Mr. Ledingh am, after loading his fowling - piece, flying g piece, saw anothey larg e pac k 94 rouse in the same direction ; and while they were in the act of passing him he discharged both barrels among them andbrought down 12 out of their number, thus killing in all at the two dis charges 17 fine, plump, strong grouse, making a hit in grouse-shooting that probably has no parallel in the annals of sport, more especially at this season of the year, when the grouse have such a coating of feathers upon their bodies as greatly dofends them from the shot.—Banfshire Journal.

Lartet to 'the Academy of Sciences of France, on the discovery (May, 1864), in the ossiferous deposit of La Madelaine, of fragments of a plate of ivory, upon the surface of which rude lines of the figure of some animal had been cut. The late Dr. Falconer, who was present with M. Lartet and Christy when the drawing was found, at once recognised the head to be that of an elephant, and, from a number of lines on the neck, that it was intended to represent an elephant with a long mane—in fact, the "mammoth." As a figure of this interesting relic has not yet been published, it wouid be unwise to pronounce finall upon its authenticity; but wo have the favourable opiuio of MM. Lartet, Milne-Edwards, Quatrefages, Desnoyers, and of our own distinguished countryman, the late Dr. Hugh Falconer, and Mr. A. W. Franks, President of the Society of Antiquaries (who have seen and examined it.) The importance of this positive evidence of the contem poraneity of man with the mammoth in the south of France cannot, we think, be too highly estimated. Nu merous carvings on bone and horn, accurately representing the reindeer, musk-ox, horse, and other animals, found in these same caverns of Dordogne, afford ample proof of the artistic skill of these ancient people, and of their ability to represent the wild animals with which they were familiar inthe chase. It is extremely improbable that they would have drawn an elephant from imagination; how much more inprobable that they should, without knowing the mammoth, have depicted not only his general form, but represented him as a hairy beast with a thick mane !—as dewribed by M. Adams in 1799, from the specimen found imbedded in ice at the mouth of the Lena in Siberia, some of the long hair of which may be seen in the British Museum.—Geological Magazine. , DEATH OF A. B. HOLLINGSWORTH.—This once most popular comic favourite of the London Music Halls died on Tuesday morning last, the 10th inst., at the early age of 36. Although afflicted since June, 1863, with total blindness, caused by partial paralysis - of the brain, through over study and exertion in his profession, and sub ject at times to severe fits of an epileptic nature, his demise was very sudden and unexpected, he having been in pretty good health, and sang before the public at the Bedford Music Hall (where he was, through the kindness of Mr. Thorn ton, the proprietor, fulfilling a trial engagement to see whether he would be enabled to carry on his profession) so late as the Thursday previous. He first appeared at Wilton's Music Hall as a Negro singer in 1853, remaining there for a period of five years, since which time he has I been in various engagements at every music hall in the metropolis, and his name will be associated with " the Oxford" for having sung the first comic at that establish ment. During his affliction he received the greatest marks of sympathy and substantial benefits at the hands of his brother and sister professionals, all of whom will hear of his premature decease with sorrow and regret. He will be buried at Finchley Cemetery, 3 p.m., on Monday next, and leaves a widow and son to lament his loss. THE WHITE HART INN, SOUTHWARK.—The old inns which have long characterised Southwark can scarcely hope to keep their place much longer. The large area they occupy in the shape of courts surrounded by buildings, with land at its present value, is too tempting a bait to owners and speculators to be resisted. The Tabard— Chaucer's Tabard—as we said was about to be the case some months ago, has been sold, and is probably doomed to give way to modern buildings. The White Hart Inn, close by it, has been partly demolished within the last few weeks, and on the south side of the yard new buildings are being erected. The White Hart was the headquarters of Jack Cade when he held London, briefly, in the reign of Henry VI. Shakspere makes (him say, "Hath my sword, therefore, broke through London gates that you should leave me at the White Hart in Southwark ?" The late Mr. G. R. Corner quotes a contemporary account of some of Cade's doings in Southwark, and " The Chronicle of the Grey Friars" records that—" At the Whyt Harte in South warko one Hawaydyne of Sent Martyns, was beheddyd." Jack Cade's Inn, however, was burnt down in the great fire that consumed about 600 houses in Southwark in the year 1676, but was rebuilt soon after on that model of the old one. It was in the present inn yard that Mr. Sam Weller waft first introduced to an admiring pitb lic.—Builder. USEFUL RESIDUES.—A singular instance of the advantages which may result from an intelligent application of the principles of chemistry in the manufac ture of various substances on a large scale may be seen in a paper recently presented to the Academy of Sciences by M. Kopp. Chloride of lime is prepared for the trade by exposing slacked lime thinly spread upon hurdles to the 1 action of a current of chlorine evolved from black oxide of manganese treated with hydrochloric acid. The liquid and acid residues of this process flow, according to M. Kopp's system, into large basins, where they find a sufficient quan tity of the refuse of raw soda to destroy the chlorine existing in the free state, and to reduce the per-chloride and sosquichloride of iron and manganese, also contained in the residues, to the state of protochlorides by depriving them of a part of their chlorine. This leads to the preci pitation of sulphur derived from the refuse of soda, and the evolution of a small quantity of sulphuretted hydrogen, a which is brought into contact with hydrate of liquid has of iron in order to be absorbed by it. The this now lost its chlorine, but it is still acid ; and state it is led off into a special appara finds a fresh quantity of soda refuse. " J u l , E, e r r a e t it n which ensues causes the development of a large quan tity of sulphuretted hydrogen, whichis burnt so as to yield at pleasure either sulphur and water or sulphur ous gas and water. The tit re changesa_, that of sulphuret o f which take place in conse. are—i, quence of this arrangement limo into quicklime and hysulphuret of limo; 2, of the latter into hyposulphite of lime ; 3, of this into a mi x t ure of sulphite of limo and sulphur; and 4, of the sulphite into sulphate, while the free sulphur trans forms a new quantity of sulphuret of lime into ,bisul phuret. From the heaps of refuse derived from these various reactions, and exposed to the lixiviating influence of rain, there flows a yellowish or orange -coloured brine, which is highlyalkaline and sulphurous, containing various polysulphurets and hyposulphites of limo and soda in dis solution.. This liquid, which is hurtful both to plants and animals, and had hitherto never been turned to account, is exposed by M. Kopp to the open air in shallow vessels, w here it spontaneously absorbs the oxygen of the air during summer; or else he heats it with sulphurous gas, in either way obtaining neutral precipitates of chlorides of manganese and iron, or polysulphuret s t o b e a pplied to th e manufacture of sulphuric acid. The cotton market continues very firm at har dening prices. Sales, probably 20,000 bales or more. DUNBAR, N. 8., (Friday Night). Mr. Itume, Lloyd's agent at this place, reports :—" I have just time to say that the lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution on this station has been . the moans of saving five men from a vessel Ivrecked this morning." This boat is the gift of Lady Cuninghazn-Fairli e to _ the institution, and it is named the " Wallace,":after the well known patriot and hero of Scotland. BAItMOUTII, IVALts (Friday Night). At 10 o'clock this morning a large ship was seen to strike on St. Patrick's Canseway some miles off this place. The lifeboat of the National Institution was immediately launched and put off with the view of rendering assistance to the ship. After the vessel had remained about twenty minutes on the rocks, the ship fortunately got off and pro ceeded on her voyage down Channel. BALLYCOTTON, IItELAXD, Oct. 12. A ship having been observed in Ballycotton Bay in distress (reports the Rev. D. O'Siillwan), the lifeboat of the National Institution was launched as soon as practicable, and proceeded to her assistance. She remained by the vessel all night, as the crew feared thy would be com pelled to abandon her before morning. However by that time the ship had come to a r place of safety. , UNITED, TATES' Chops.--The H on. Isaac Newton, Commissioner of Agriculture, has authorised the following statement as to the coadition of the crops on the Ist of Sep tember. Tfie quality of the wheat crop is not good, espe cially in the Western States, where it was affected by blight and rust, as well as by the wet weather during the harvest. Of the old wheat on hand, there is not as much as supposed in the hands of the farmers. The oat crop received no great deal of injury from the wet weather, and it may be regarded as one of the largest oat crop ever raised in the country. The injury to the hay in the west was very great, in the east it received but tittle damage from wet weather. Generally the quality is good, except in the States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Missouri. The corn crop, owing to the continued heat and moisture of the weather; has escaped material injury. In the west it may be regarded as the greatest crop yet raised in the loyal States. Tho condition of the tobacco crop was favourable, the weather helping it very much, but the amount planted is less than last year. Sorghum, like the corn crop, is excellent. Buckwheat, if not injured by a premature frost, will be good. Potatoes— In many localities there were indications of tho rot, and in some places the crop was much injured by it. The continued hot and moist weather since the Ist of September occasions apprehensions that this disease may prove very injurious, but still the yield may be good, as the amount planted was so much greater than usual. In all the States except New York hops have ripened well, but in that State the crop has sustained an injury of 44 tenths from lice ; the crop is therefore injured seriously, for in 1860 New York produced 9,750,0001 b. of the 11,000,0001 b. raised in the whole country. Roots and gardens were never better. Every State returns a 'decrease in the number of fattening hogs. The general decrease is about 1-10th from the number last year. So far as returns were published of the number packed last year in the West, it was 2,422,779. A tenth decrease on this number would be 242,277. Letters accompanying the re turns of correspondents indicate that the hogs are younger and smaller than usual, but in good condition.—New York Times. THIRD EDITION SUN OFFICE, 6 o'CLocK. THE CHOLERA IN MADRID. MADRID, OCT. 13 (Evening). Yesterday the cholera was very severe in this city-540 cases occurred, of which 175 proved fatal, To-day the disease has decreased, but notwith standing a general panic prevails.

SCOTCH BULLS.—Two operatives were conversing the other day about a fine cemetery recently made in one of the most flourishing of our Border towns. One of them, with whom the "newfangled graveyard " was evidently no favourite, boldly, but amusingly, expressed his aversion to it in the remark, " I'll rather doe than be buried in sic a place !" With equal disregard of the logic of fact; his com panion, who held an exactly opposite opinion of the ceme tery, retorted, " Neel, if I'm spared in life an' health, I'll gang naewhere else !"— Edinburgh Courant. ATTEMPTED MURDER.--LIMERICK, Wednesday.-- Intelligence has been received of a murderous attempt made by Mr. Henry Bevan, at Camas; near Bruff, to take the life of his brother, Mr. William Bevan, J.P., yesterday, by shooting him with a pistol, the contents of which lodged in his head, behind the right ear. It appears that the wounded man only returned from Paris on Monday, and last evening, while walking with his brother-in-law (Mr. Hunt) Mr. Bevan also joined them. They had not pro ceeded far on the road when the latter called Mr. William Bevan aside, and made an application for money to effect some private purpose to which he was adverse. Having been refused, he deliberately took a revolver from his pocket and shot his brother. The sufferer continues in a precarious state. His assailant is in custody at Bruff.— Dublin Express. DEATH OF A WATERLOO VETERAN.—.Captain Crawf3rd, of Warkworth, formerly of the 2d Dra goons, or Royal Scots Greys, expired at Liverpool a few days since. This gallant officer was one of the best cavalry soldiers in the British army, and had seen, when he retired on half-pay in 1849, 50 years' service in the above famous regiment, having girded himself with the soldier's harness when but a stripling. He was nominated adjutant on the field of Waterloo, and delighted to tell of the dashing style in which the lamented Hamilton led the Greys into action in the celebrated charge that helped to turn the tide of battle on the memorable 18th of June. One of the most graceful and touching compliments ever accorded to an officer was paid to Captain Crawford by his old regiment when last quartered in Edinburgh. The whole of the Greys marched into George-square, drew up opposite the house in which the gallant captain was a guest, and saluted him with due military honour. GIANTS.—There is but little material to fill up the history of a gigantology between the men of renown and the giants of romance. The gentle giants shared the fate of all outgrown superstitions. They were shunned, however, before t)iey were laughed at. They were still dreaded before they were exhibited as shows. They did not begin to lose caste until they gave over living in castles. A giant, who could take Salisbury Plain in six strides, and regardless of rinderpest, devour a herd of oxen for break fast—who kept a lovely lady a prisoner, and made her cook stray human visitors for his supper —this was a description of creature still likely to cause some little sensation, in his own neighbourhood, at all events. But a giant in a cara van was quite another matter. Instead of ramping and 'aging about tho country, he was uncomfortably jolted along country lanes in what used to be irreverently called a travelling tea kettle ; he was never let out during the day, lest the attractions of the "show" should become diminished; he was afraid of his owner, very likely beaten by his wife (if he had one), and at night he slept on a bunker full of boa-constrictors, when not kept awake by the scratching of the armadillo.—The Reader. A little fellow, four years of age, was poisoned in Manchester, on Tuesday, by drinking the contents of a medicine bottle of which he accidentally got hold. EXTRAORDINARY WEDDING. -- At St. John' s Church, Pembr o k e Dock, on the 4th inst., were joined to gether in the b on d s o f matrimony a couple whose united ages reached no less than 164 years. The bride was Mrs. Elizabeth Powell, aged 84, who had been married four times before, and the bridegroom was Mr. T. Wade, who is, we believe, only four years younger than his wife. The Rev. Dr. Kelley officiated, and the interesting event passed off in a most satisfactory manner.—Cambria DsilJ Leader. MURDER AT GREAT YARMOUTH.—Last night, about 10 o'clock, a foreigner, named Hinsman, a cook on board the Dutch galliot Secundus, lying in harbour, de livering wheat, was murdered by a comrade named E ren e. b - shussen, at the City of L on d on , a house of repute. Erenshussen was desired by the captain to go on board ; he refused. Hinsman advised him to go, when he drew his knife, the blade of which was six inches long, and buried it in his heart. Death was instantaneous. The vie- tim and murderer were both young. 2,274; Norway, 1,561; R turn of EXPORT OF COAL.---C the quantity o& coal exported from the port of Great Grisinwsbedyedn,ur4ion6g; the month of September, 1865 : — To Hanseatic town s, 99 4 tons; Denmark, Russia, 4,055; Prussia , 3,423 ; France, 4 , 6 82 ; Italy (Si c il y ) , 13 s ; ditto, 351—total —t a 286; ( Sardinian C on f e deration , 196; territories),l96Bmzi, 4 I 22342;in, 543; Argen tine ; Egypt, 51 foreign, 19, 400 tons ; coastwise, I,o9o—thtal, ton 20,190 tons, co ° a r s r t e w s rse n , cl l236 w — e t e o k ta , I, 1 864 4,, foreign, 13,324 56 0 tons.

Tho construc tion of a pier near the middle of the Forth ha s b een con tracted for, the price being about £17,000. Tho pier, which is expected to be finished by May next, is upon a very large scale, and the foundation will be no less than forty-five feet below the surface. In the lower portion of the works, green beech instead of iron is to be used. The durability of green beech, when constantly immersed in water, is proved by the discovery of Mr. Edwyn Clarke that such wood in the Thames exists in a condition of the most perfect sound ness for an ascertained period of at least COO years—a dis covery of no small importance to the owners of beech plan tations. The formation of the pier is proceeding in the harbour of Burutisland, from which at the proper time it will bo floated to its position and sunk. Charivari has a picture of John Bull, the old type of the national caricature, a fat, bloated fellow, with knee breeches and gaiters, a flaming handkerchief round his neck, and a large bunch o watch seals. Young France is condoling with his neighbour on the Fenians. "Really," he says, " you take the thing too much to heart." " Oh," re plies John Bull, " it's not my heart, b u t my stomac h t h at i s di s t ut bed. I should not' so much, mind the Feniaus, but his epizootic is playing the deuce with our roast beef."
