Notwithstanding the large ar rivals of both bar silver and Mexican dollars the Prices have been well sustained, and at the close to daY may be quoted ss. 13-16ths per oz. standard, a1 ( 1 Is. 1111 per oz. respectively. The inquiry for silver is still confined to Germany, no Eastern de n:laud being as yet apparent. With the exception ° f United States gold coin there lave been no pur chases of gold for export.

TIIREATENtNG TO STA.B.-Richard Fitzgerald, a shoe maker, was charged before Mr. Alderman Lawrence with threatening to stab Joseph Leyy, a general dealer, living at 4, Solomon's-buildin g , City. From the evidence of the complainant, who is a member of the Jewish persuasion, it appeared that yesterday after noon he was returning from the clothes market, Houns ditch, in company with a young man, a namesake, but who was not related to him. This party said to him, " Here is Fitzgerald," and he saw him coming down the street. When within a few feet of him the prisoner said, "You - Jew, I'll cut the bowels out of you." Fearing that he would carry out his threat, he ran away through Devon shire-street, closely followed by the prisoner, until he met two policemen, who took hint under their protection. One of the officers said that the complainant told him that the prisoner was folloWing hint with a stone for tho purpose of assaulting him, but he said nothing about the knife. When the prisoner came within a few feet of him a knife dropped out of his coat pocket, which he said he wanted for his trade. Another witness, to whom the complainant alluded as having been in his company a hen Fitzgerald came up to him in Devonshire -street, gave some corroborative evidence. The prisoner, in his defence, said he had not theslightest intention of using the knife, and that the two Levys were members of a clique who were endeavouring to prevent his purchasing goods in Petticoat-lane. Three of them had assaulted him, and he had applied to the sitting magistrate for a warrant, which was refused, as he had not the money to pay for it. - Mr. Alderman Lawrence said as there was no proof that the prisoner seriously intended to use the knife against the complainant, he would merely bind him over to keep the peace for six months.

On Saturday morning an Italian brig, the Peppino, which left Genoa on the 25th ult., bound for Constantinople and Odessa, came off the port to land two sick men, but there being reaon to suppose they were suffering under an attack of cholera, the desired permission was not granted) though every assistance in the way of medicine, provisions, and water was offered, as well as extra hands to replace the invalids. On the same day official telegraphic information was received here of the Italian sanitary authorities having placed a quarantine of 15 days on arrivals from all Austrian ports, including the ports of Venetia still under Austrian domain. To conform with this regulation the Malta Board of Health will doubtless adopt a similar precautionary measure. News was received by the last mail from England that Sir Henry Storks would return to Malta in six weeks. The chartered troopship Lord Warden, which has been taken up by the Hon. Council of India for the conveyance of reinforcements to Madras, em barked at Gravesend yesterday Capt. J. C. Warne, Lieut. William Eccles Mostyn, and 60 non non-commissioned officers and men of the 2d batta lion of the 24th Regiment, and Lieut. 11. Stokes, Ensign A. W. H. Hornsby, 36 non-commissioned officers and men, 5 soldiers' wives, and 9 children of the 2d battalion of the 19th Regiment from Shef field; Lieut. B. Simner, Ensign G. Gosselin, 48 men of all ranks, 7 soldiers' wives, and 16 children of the 76th Regiment from Shorncliffe ; one fencing sergeant instructor and wife, of the 16th Lancers, from Canterbury; one master tailor for Ist Batta lion of the 7th Royal Fusileers, from Wahner ; four soldiers' wives of the 102 d Royal Madras Fusileers, from Shorncliffe ; and 8 soldiers' wives of the 2d Battalion of the 10th Regiment, from Chatham. The Lord Warden left the Thames yesterday, after being inspected by Major-Gen. Sir R. Walpole, K.C.8., and will call in at Portsmouth, where she will embark draughts for the 2d and 3d Battalions of the 6th Royal Rifles, from the depot battalion at Winchester, together with the following officers be longing to those corps, viz., Capt. N. J. Pauli, Lieut. R. C. Robinson, Ensign B. Freud, Ensign T. N. Dick-Lauder, Ensign C. H. Smith, and Ensign F. G. Doyle. Staff Assist.-Surg. Wm. Alexander, M.D., will embark in medical charge of the troops. The line-of-battle sailing ship Superb, 80, and the sailing frigate Nankin, 50, both of which have been fitted by the shipwrights and joiners at Chatham and Sheerness Dockyards, to be used as hospital ships for the reception of cholera patients, have been removed to moorings, near Saltpan Reach, neither of them, in consequence of the abatement of the cholera, being now required for the special service for which they were fitted up. The high tide of Thursday morning caused con siderable damage to the works now being carried on at the entrance to No. 3 dock at Chatham Dock yard, the coffer dam in course of construction for the enlargement of the dock to admit of the double turret ship Monarch being laid down, receiving very serious injury. Nearly the whole of the outer row of piles used iu forming the dam have been• bent and removed, and altogether the injury effected is so great that the works will be delayed several weeks, causing another period of some time to elapse before the keel of the new ironclad ship Monarch can be laid down in the dock. In the meantime workmen have commenced the new vessel in the temporary work shop adjoining the dock. Rear-Admiral the Hon. George F. Hastings, C. 8., is, we understand, appointed to succeed Vice- Admiral the Hon. Joseph Denman as Commander in-Chief in the Pacific. The Zealous will be the flag-ship on the station. The huge Horsf all gun, made at the Mersey Steel and Iron Company's works in 1856, and presented to Government, is now lying under the heavy sheers at the Royal Arsenal wharf at Woolwich for trans port, it is stated, to Tilbury Fort, to protect the en trance of the river. The gun is well known from the place it took in target practice at Shoeburyness. It is a solid forging of wrought -iron, bored out. The trunnions are forged upon a separate ring, which is held in place by a key. The dimensions of the gun, as given in Holley's " Treatise," are : Length, 15ft. 10in. ; diameter over chamber, 3ft. Tin. ; length of bore, 13ft. 4in. ; diameter of bore, as reported by the Ordnance Select Committee, 13.014 in. The weight is 53,8461 b. 2.210 z. The usual windage is 2in. The gun is not rifled. The mass of forged iron in the rough was a rude conic frustrum, about 17ft. in length, rather more than 4ft. in diameter at the breech end, and above 3ft. at the 'other end. Fuddled rough bars were made from the best selected Scotch and North Wales pig iron, and were worked as little as possible before being sent to the forging department. The puddle balls were hammered, then rolled into No. 1 bar iron, and that was cut up, piled, and again rolled into No. 2 bars. A core, formed of a fagot of square bars, was first welded up and rounded to about 15 in. diameter. Upon this three several cores or piles of V,. shaped or voussoir bars were laid on welded in succession. The extreme diameter of the breech end was produced by welding slabs over these again where the mass exceeded 32in. in diameter. The forging was done under a 15-ton hammer, and the heating in a reverberatory furnace. Fifty tons of iron were used, and the process occupied seven weeks. Above B,ooolb. of powder and 60,0001 b. of 2821 b. solid shot have been fired from this gun at various rounds ; among others there have been 90 rounds with 501 b. of powder, 21 rounds with 401 b. and six rounds with 501 b. at Shoeburyness ; two rounds with 801 b., at Liverpool, 13 rounds with 201 b. to 451 b., and 40 rounds with 301 b. With 451 b. of powder, a number of shell were fired loaded with lead to weigh 3101 b. and 3181 b. The unequal shrinkage of the solid breech of the gun during its manufacture caused a crack, which was afterwards covered with a breech-plug or false bottom in the chamber to prevent the lodgment of any burning material. Although injured in various places, it was fired with terrific effect at short ranges at the Warrior target at Shoeburyness, as subsequently recorded in The Sun, with charges of 2821 b. shot and 711 b. of powder each. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Lieut. W. F. S. Castle to the Pallas ; J. G. Liddell, master, additional, to the Fisgard for the Zebra; H. 11. Burniston, paymaster, to the Zealous; J. Cox, assist. -paymaster, to the Achilles; E. W. Newnham, assist. -paymaster, to the Megmra ; J. R. Richards, assist. -paymaster, to the Royal George ; H. J. Coiling and C. P. Walker, assist-paymasters, to the Zealous ; G. E. Bampton, assist.-clerk, to the Zealous ; and T. J. °swell, nominated a naval cadet. GOVERNMENT INSURANCE AND ANNUITIES... The following additional post-offices will bo open on and after the 17th of SepteMber for the redeipt of proposals for the insurance of lives or the purchase of Government annuities, under the Act 27th and 28th of Victoria., cap. 43 : —Bark way (Royston), Carluke, N. 8., Coatbridge, N. 8., Feckenham (Brcansgroye), 6tcnieluvren, N. 8., and Strauraer, N.B. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A SCOUNDREL.—WiIIiam Capel, a tall young man, was charged before Mr. Tyrvvhitt with loitering. Thomas Cheney, 87 C, said that about 12 last night he saw the prisoner and another man together in Grosvenor street, Regent-street, and knowing the character of the prisoners he watched them, and saw thorn go down King's Arms, where there is a urinal, and while the prisoner fol lowed nearly every gentleman in the other man kept watch. He afterwards followed the prisoner and his com panion to throe other urinals, and then took the prisone into custody, but could not secure the other. The prisoner said he was locked up for nothing at all. Mr. Tyrwhitt remarked that the prisoner could not have been following persons about, as had been proved, with a good intention. Sergeant Shillingford, 4 0, said that about 18 months ago he had the prisoner and two others in custody for a similar offence before Mr. Tyrwhitt, and two of them were sentenced then to two months' imprisonment each, and the other to three months. - He had several times cautioned the prisoner as to his conduct. On the prisoner last night was found a piece of cloth with some rouge on it. Cheney said the offence was becoming so common that it was dangerous for gentlemen to go into urinals at night. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the prisoner would go to prison for two months with hard labour, as a dangerous person who haunted places either to rob people, or to endeavour, by means of threats, to got money out of them. BOW STREET. ROBBERY AT MELLON'S CONCERTS.—Edward Wilson was placed at the bar charged with stealing an umbrella. The prosecutor said he was last standing in the amphi theatre, and shortly before the entertainments concluded the prisoner took up the umbrella and went away with it. A gentleman named Rose informed him of the robbery, and he then followed the prisoner down stairs, he having the umbrella then in his possession. Prosecutor, seeing a police constable, told him his suspicions, and then the prisoner rushed down stairs, and when he got to the street entrance he had managed to get rid of the umbrella, it was supposed, by throwing it out of one of the windows of the theatre. On going out into the street, however, the umbrella could not be found. The prisoner denied the robbery, and said he was a respectable man. The witnesses were positive that the prisbner was the per son who had taken the property of the prosecutor. A young man named Henry Burn, a printer, said about 12 months ago he was present at Bow-street Police Court when the prisoner was convicted and sentenced to three months' imprisonment for stealing an opera glass f r o m th e Lyceum Theatre. He had no doubt about the matter, although had nheo doubtcoul d notabout gay the exact d a t e o f th e ro bb ery. He the prisoner being the man who stole the glass. The prisoner was fully committed for trial. WESTMINSTER. LAMENTABLE EFFECTS OF INTOXICATION.—JSMCS Birch, a cab driver, was charged with running over a woman, and breaking her leg ; also with being drunk at the time he was charged. Police-constable Thomas Tollasegh, 230 B, said that, at seven o'clock last evening, he was on duty in Great Chapel street, Westminster, when he saw the defendant approach, driving a patent safety cab. When he arrived at the corner of .Little Chapel-street, and was turning, a woman, who was very drunk, fell off :the kerb-stone into the road, and one of the wheels passed over her legs. Witness had her immediately conveyed to the hospital, where it was found that one of her legs was broken. Defendant was then taken to the station and detained. Mr. Ingham—How about this man—what was his con dition ? Constable—Under the influence of liquor. Mr. Ingham—Was ho drunk? Constable—Ho Was. Mr. Ingham—Now answer me this. Supposing this man had been perfectly sober, would it have been possible for him to have avoided running over this woman ? Constable—lt would not. The woman at the hos pital— Mr. Ingham—Never mind about the woman at the hospital, who evidently met with this accident through her own drunkenness. Defendant, in reply to the charge, said that he had driven a long way and a gentleman gave him some drink. He was driving home whe n the woman fell under the wheels of the cab. He had never been charged with drunkenness before. He was fined 10s., and in default seven days. THAMES. A VERY SUSPICIOUS TRANSACTION.—James Springer, aged 32, second niate of a ship, and recently paid off at a shipping-office, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with being drunk and incapable of taking care of himself. Police-sergeant Dunaway, an intelligent detective officer, No. 11 iI, said at half-past 11 o'clock last night, his attention was called by Ur. Green, a respectable tradesman in Whitechapel, to two cabs pulled up by their drivers in a very dark and secluded place under a railway arch. One of the drivers was on his box with his horse's reins in his hands, the other driver was inside his cab, in which was the prisoner, who was helplessly intoxicated. He asked the cab-driver what he meant by leaving his box, and going inside his cab, and he made an excuse that he was looking after his fare, and unfastening the prisoner's neck cloth. He made both cab-drivers turn their pockets inside out. There was no money in their possession but the earnings of the day. Th e sailor had £2O in gold and silver in his pockets, and sa id he had lost £l4 he did not know how. Mr. Partridge—Where is the £2O now ? The prisoner —I have it in my pocket. Mr. Partridge—You will lose it in five minutes after leaving this place if you are not looked after. What foolish and improvident men you sailors are. You have just been paid off and have lost £l4 already. If the cab-drivers tried to rob this man they ought to bo prosecuted. Dunaway—He don't wish to proceed further with the case. Mr. l'artridge—But it is a question of public interest. Don't lose sight of this case, Dunaway. You are the most proper officer I know to look after it. The transaction is a very suspicious one. Tho prisoner must pay the usual fine of ss. ; and he had better return to the Sailors' Home in Well-street, and deposit his money in the savings bank of that excellent and well-conducted institution.

MUSIC-HALLS. It will be remembered that some time ago the theatres entered upon - a crusade against the Music halls, and that a summons was taken out against Mr. Strange for performing a ballet at the Alhambra. The case was ultimately taken into the Court of Common Pleas, where the judges decided it was not a " stage play," and ballet since that time has reigned triumphant in Leicester-square. Mr. Morton, was not so fortunate, for having been summonsed under the same act of Parliament, Mr. Vandervell's pan tomimic sketch of " Hodge Podge," which was then drawing all London, was stopped in its bril liant career at the Canterbury-hall, although no person appeared on the stage, the figures being shown by reflection ; yet this was considered to be a stage-play. Since that time until the present quietude has reigned amongst the rival caterers for public amusement. We are once more startled with the ominous words, "Theatres v. Music halls;" but we are happy to find the arena to settle their disputes will not be a court of law, but the Oval at Kennington, where these antagonists are to be pitted against each other in a cricket match, which will take place on Tuesday and Wed nesday next. As many celebrated names will be found in the list of " players," should the weather prove favourable we have no doubt a large number of the friends of both parties will be present to witness this interesting match. The admission money will be handed over to the General Theatrical Fund ; and as charity covereth a multitude of sins, we trust the jealousies of the past will be obliterated, the opinion of the committee appointed by the House of Commons, and which sat last session in order to frame an act for the better regulation of theatrical licences, having been so firmly expressed in favour of free trade in the drama. This gather ing of the profession has now an opportunity of being the authors of an everlasting peace. WILLS AND BEQUESTS. (From the Illustrated London News.) The will of the Right Hon. Sir James Wigram, P.C., of Portland-place, Vice-Chancellor 1841-50 was proved in the London Court on the 7th inst. by his son, James Richard Wigram, Esq. ; his brother, Loftus Tottenham Wigram, Esq. ; and his nephew, Loftus Wigram Arkwright, Esq. The personalty was sworn under £70,000. His will bears date March 2, 1864, and there are nine codicils. The will and some of the codicils, owing to Sir James being afflicted with blindness, were signed on his behalf and at his request by John Gregson, the other codicils having his mark. Sir James died on July 29, 1866, aged 73. He has bequeathed his college prize books to his eldest son, James, and has appointed him residuary legatee. He bequeaths to his other sons and to each of his children not provided for a legacy of £5,000 ; to Miss Travers £lOO and £5O a year; to his atten dant, Frederick Haynes, £2OO ; and legacies to his other servants. The will of Don Pedro Gonzales de Candamo, of the city of Lima, in Peru, was proved in the Lon don Court, on the Ist inst., by his son, Don Carlos Gonzoles de Condom°, the sole executor. The personalty in England was sworn under £BOO,OOO. The will is dated Jan. 5, 1866, and he died on the 22d of the same month. He bequeaths to his own children and to two children of his sister, each 75,000 dols. ; and he leaves to be divided amongst his nephews 100,000 dols., in addition to 20,000 dols, to his nephew, Don Leopoldo. To his ',clerk, Don Carlos Rosas Mordes, he directs 2i per cent. to be paid on all realised property ; and, having promised.him the hand of his daughter Virginia, he by will confirms the same, and consents thereto. He bequeaths 100,000 dols. to found an hospital for poor boys. He leaves to his major-domo and com panion, Juan Bantist Rolle, 10,000 dols. for his steadiness and loyalty shown to him. He leaves to each of his servants 500 dols. To his son and executor Don Carlos, he leaves one-tenth of the re sidue, appointing as his heirs his (the testator's) three children. The will of Jeremiah Pilcher, Esq., of Russell square, and Worthing, was proved in London on the 21st ult., and the personalty sworn under £200,000. The executors nominated were Richard Edward Arden, Esq., of Sunbury Park, Middlesex ; Thomas W. Pilcher, Esq., the brother ; Thomas A. Mocre, Esq., the brother-in-law ; and Joseph Somes, Esq. Mr. Arden is alone acting, the three others having renounced. The will is dated July 21, 1863, with four codicils, and the testator died July 18, 1866, aged 76. It was his request by will that a vein should be opened before placing his body in the coffin to ascertain that life was extinct. He has bequeathed to his wife an immediate legacy of £l,OOO, and also to each of daughters an immediate legacy of £5OO. To his wife he has also left the furniture, plate, pictures, carriages, horses, and a life interest in certain estates, which at her decease will devolve to his daughters. To each of his sons and daughters very liberal bequests are made ; to one, 1.17,000 ; to others, £12,000 and £lO,OOO, dividing the residue of his property amongst his six sons. There are legacies to his brothers and sisters. To his clerk, Joseph Sayer, £lOO ; to each of his other clerks engaged in the business carried on by himself and sons in the oil trade, and to each fore man, a suit of mourning ; to his wife's late servant, Dulcebella Dunsford, £5O and an annuity of £52, and legacies to all his servants ; to the Worthing Christian Literary Institution, £5OO. The legacies to be free of duty. COURSE OF EXCHANGE--Last Evening.

Some people hastily set it down as a fruit, but this is very clearly far-fetched, and appears about as pertinent as it would bo to call a strawberry a vegetable. We term the hop a flower, and it has, in times long past, been known as " the flower of Kent." Perhaps, speak ing botanically, it is hardly a flower, but the word is convenient and expressive ; at all hazards it is far more expressive than "fruit," which word conveys an erroneous impression to the minds of those who have never seen a hop, except in the ball room. Supposing that "fruit" and " flower" aro both wrong, we may suggest that, if there is any arbitrary term, it is either a vegetable or an herb. It may be a vegetable because it must be cooked before it can bo consumed; but we incline to the opinion that after all it is an herb, because it must be decocted before the brewer can make use of it. Still, the word "flower" is more convenient. A flower is composed of a stem and petals, and so is a hop ; and so we suppose we, must continue to call it a flower, even at the risk of differing in opinion from those who will have,it is fruit.—Tito Brewer's Visit of the Volunteers to Belgium. Last evening a meeting of the English Volunteer Committee for conducting the proceedings connected with the Belgian Tir National and visit of English volunteers to Brussels, took place at the Vestry hall of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields, to receive a re port as to the final arrangements for the fetes in question. Captain Dighton, of the London Rifle Brigade, occupied the chair ; and amongst those present were Major and Adjutant Charter (Queen's, Westmin ster); Capt. Irvine, Ist Surrey; Capt. Crossland, 3d Middlesex Artillery; Capt. S. Mullens, Ist Middle sex Artillery; Capt. Scrivener, Queen's; Ensign Starkie, Queen's; Majo . r Sanders, 48th Middlesex ; Capt. and Adjutant Tyler, Queen's, &c. The first point under discussion was in reference to ladies ac companying' the volunteers, and being admitted to all the entertainments, as well as to travel at the same fares as the volunteers themselves. In a long discussion which ensued it was pointed out that in the face of the large number of volunteers who had sent in their names, it would be unjust for volun teers to seek to take friends with them and occupy the places at the various balls and fetes, at the cere mony in St. Gudule, the visit to the Place des Mar tyrs, and the Theatre de la Alonnaie, all of which are intended for volunteers alone, and any addition to their numbers would be looked upon as an encroach ment upon the kindness and liberality of the Bel gians. In regard to ;the tickets issued by the com mittee for volunteers, in answer to questions, it was explained that it was an understanding between the companies that the h o ld ers o f t h e ss. t i c k ets issued the committee would b e a l one ent i t l e d to railw the volunteer railway tickets, or to participate in any of the fetes or privileges at Brussels, being also in uniform. The next point of discussion was the command of the British volunteers, and Lieutenant Furley, one of the hon. secs., stated that Lord Spencer had been invited to take the command, as such posi tion, if assumed by his lordship, would not only be acceptable to the volunteers, but he had ascertained through M. Van de Weyer, would be equally so to the Belgians who were at Wimbledon, and who fully hoped his lordship would accept the command. It was also resolved to recognise Lieut. Furley's ser vices by requesting his appointment as aide-de-camp to the commanding officer. Five lieutenant-Colonels had signified their intention of being present at Brussels. The Great Eastern Railway had made excellent arrangements to take volunteers in uniform the return journey, first class and saloon, at 155., and second class, 10s., trains running from Bishops gate-street every Wednesday and Saturday. This line offers also the privilege of volunteers taking a lady with them. The owners of the Albert Victor (Steam Navigation Company) offered to take volun teers and their friends, if a certain number were guaranteed, from London to Ostend, for 12s. 6d. and 7s. 6d. return journey, allowing a week. The General Steam Navigation Company have acted very liberally, having issued tickets for the out and home journey as low as 10s., with the option of re turning by Rotterdam, Antwerp, or Ostend. Cosa plaint was made of the South-Eastern, and London, Chatham, and Dover charging 325. 6d. and 225., as the fares upon the Great Eastern were so much less, notwithstanding that the trains and boats of the Belgian Government carry the volunteers free. A resolution was adopted, that the volunteers be in vited to go to the Great Eastern route en masse, un less the South-Eastern and London, Chatham, and Dover reduce their fares, and give facilities for volunteers to reach Biussels before the Saturday ; that is, on Thursday or Friday, the 20th and 21st September. After some further details had been gone through, thanks to the authorities for the use of the hall, and a similar compliment to the chairman, closed the Roceedings. FRENC H THEATRICALS. VAUDEVILLE.—Has any Jettatore hovered .over this theatre ? Misfortunes follow closely upon each other failures and fiascos are all that is left to the critic to chronicle. The "Nouveau Cid" is the last yet most signal of all the Vaudeville fiascos. The condemnation, which was general and unmistake able, was assuredly well deserved, but it had some thing in it personal. Pipe-en-Bois hooted "Gaetana" and " Henriette Mardchale" from the stage, as he hissed the " Nouveau Cid " away. Now Gaetana and Henriette had some good points, the "Nouveau Cid " has none whatever. Yet all were hissed and hooted away because the town entertained personal prejudices against M. About, MM. Goncourt, and M. Hugelman. It so happens that justice has run with caprice, but we must protest against these personalities. The fier ces t o f democrats might write a good play, even should he have changed his political opinions. With these the play-going public have no right to interfere. GYMNASE.—They have acquired an excellent habit at the Gymnase of bringing out a batch of novelities at once. The other night they produced " Les Wagons des Dames," and " Les Sabots d'Aurore," and on Thursday they played two new pieces, both well. entitled to the plaudits they received. "Un Mariage h l'Enchere' will owe its success toßlaisot's laughable impersonation of a " tender parient" who is always prating about his disinterestedness and paternal affection, whilst he is ready to sell his child to the highest bidder. The young lady knows a great deal too much. She is a sort of " Pucelle de Belleville," one of those pleasant books which our dear readers used to poke under the sofa cushion when visitors were announced. But in these Benoi ton days we wonder at times where young ladies of the best regulated families acquire all their surpris ing information upon subjects which were tabooed by the stricter propriety of our youth. Anna (Mdlle. Menty) enters into all her papa's enlightened views. She gives up her cousin for a betterparti, whom she abandons for a yet wealthier nephew of her notaire; but the steamer which was to have brought this Cmsar and his fortunes to Havre went down with all hands, and thus the lady loses all her lovers, and is forced to fall back upon her cousin at last. Blaiset is about as good a sketch of a Parisian papa as ever appeared upon the stage. No one should miss going to see him. If the first piece reminded us of Paul de Kock's tale the " Amour d'une In genue" bore a strong resemblance to Mrs. Inchbald's " Simple Story." An uncle, who hovers between 30 and 40, is left guardian of his sister's child. The uncle is very kind to his niece, but is yet kinder to Mdlle. Olympe and other ladies who have played in the Olympic games of the demi-monde. The niece falls in love—with whom do you suppose of all people in the world—" Oh! my prophetic soul, fly uncle." When she discovers that he is bent upon going out to shoot cocottes, or any other s port of . that kind, she sews up his coat sleeves, bide s white chokers, and torments him exceelingly. Thebi teterrima causa of these wars is revealed season ; she contrives to keep him at hom in e due for u h n er cle ow ni n ar p r a ie rt s ic h u is lar n am iece u . sement, To our On the fly-leaf anrdasthtee amorous uncle something nasty in this neP° e s tis a long list of ladies of the old family bible figures along of matrimony. It who are placed withoult interdiction, " A man may begins with the grandmother,"aw.fu. and concludes with the not marry .. his same injunction against a niece. Ninon de l'Enclos is said to have incliulcd one of her grandsons amongst h er admirers, and Tom Moore has sung the loves of a young gentleman who was detectedflagrante under the same circumstances. For us these circumstances would not be attenuantes, nor would they be any more admissible in the other case. An Englishman would no more think of making love to his grand mamma than to his sister's child. But these restric tions are not imposed in France. Uncles and nieces are constantly buckled together, and make excellent menages; therefore was the marriage of this Ingenue rapturously received. Mlle. Barataude, the debu tante, is an Ingenue who might inveigle any one into matrimony. She is a great acquisition to the Gym nase. She has the bluest of eyes, blue as those which shone from under Athenes' brow upon the Greeks before Troy ; and she has learned the art of turn ing them to the best account, as she darts glances from them upon the poor inflammable wretches in the dais as murderous as from a Zwiduadelgewehr. THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, G o'CLocK. GERMANY. BERLIN, Sept. 14.—1 t is announced ,on goon authority that negotiations have been opened with the Elector of Hesse and the Duke of Nassau for the formal cession of their rights of sovereignty, on the terms of a restitution, at least partial, of their personal property. The Late Prince de Conde. The mortal remains of the Prince de Conde, eldest son of their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess d'Aurnale, were on Wednesday afternoon placed in Miss Taylor's Roman Catholic chapel at Weybridge. It will be recollected that the prince died at Sydney in last May, to the deep grief of his illustrious parents. The body was embalmed and brought to this country for interment. On Wed nesday morning the body was conveyed to IVey bridge from the Shadwell Basin of the London Docks.

CURIOUS GROWTH OF A TOOTH.—A four-year old mare, belonging to a gentleman in Morayshire, lately exhibited an unseemly growth on the temple below the ear and the services of several veterinary surgeons wore put into requisition to reduce the tumour, but failed to accom plish their object. A fortnight ago the mare, which is of con siderable value, was given in charge to Mr. Auckland here, who at once decided on operating on the tumour, and in the presence of several farmers had the lump opened up, when it was found that a tooth of the ordinary size had been growing from the frontal jawbone. The tooth was speedily removed, and the wound occasioned by its extraction is now nearly healed. The mare may still bo seen in Mr Auckland's stablos.—lnverness Courier.
